What the 4.8V threshold tells you about your rail
The TPS3840PL48DBVR is a single-channel voltage supervisor that asserts a reset when the monitored supply drops below 4.8V. That threshold is purpose-built for 5V nominal rails — it triggers before the supply decays enough to cause logic errors, then holds reset for 619ms typical after the rail recovers. If your processor or FPGA needs a clean power-up sequence with a known delay, that timeout window gives the core time to stabilize before the reset pin releases.
Push-pull output saves a pull-up resistor
The output is push-pull, totem pole, so it drives high and low without an external pull-up resistor. That simplifies the BOM and saves one component per supervisor channel. The reset is active low — the pin goes low when the supply drops below threshold and stays low through the timeout period.
The tape-and-reel option is feeder-ready for high-volume assembly.
That means you can commit this part to a production BOM without worrying about a sudden last-time-buy window. Sourced per RFQ against your line-item quantity.
