2 Applications
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Applications using low-power DSPs,
microcontrollers, or microprocessors
Portable- and battery-powered equipment
Intelligent instruments
Wireless communication systems
Notebook computers
Applications using the MSP430™
For automotive systems, see TPS383x-Q1
During power-on, RESET is asserted when the
supply voltage VDD becomes higher than 1.1 V.
Thereafter, the supervisory circuit monitors VDD and
keeps the RESET output active as long as VDD
remains below the threshold voltage of VIT. An
internal timer delays the return of the output to the
inactive state (high) to ensure proper system reset.
The delay time starts after VDD rises above the
threshold voltage VIT.
When CT is connected to GND, a fixed delay time of
typically 10 ms is asserted. When connected to VDD,
the delay time is typically 200 ms. When the supply
voltage drops below the threshold voltage VIT, the
output becomes active (low) again. All the devices of
this family have a fixed-sense threshold voltage (VIT)
set by an internal voltage divider.
The TPS3836 has an active-low, push-pull RESET
output. The TPS3837 has an active-high, push-pull
RESET, and the TPS3838 integrates an active-low,
open-drain RESET output. The product spectrum is
designed for supply voltages of 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.0 V,
and 3.3 V. The circuits are available in either a
SOT23-5 or a 2-mm × 2-mm SON-6 package. The
TPS3836, TPS3837, and TPS3838 families are
characterized for operation over a temperature range
of –40°C to 85°C.

Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings
only, which do not imply functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under Recommended
Operating Conditions. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
All voltage values are with respect to GND.
If RESET or RESET are pulled above VDD, the internal ESD structure presents an effective 1.5-kΩ resistor between these pins, causing
leakage current to flow into the RESET or RESET pin.

9.3 Feature Description
9.3.1 Input Voltage (VDD)
The VDD pin monitors the input voltage with an internal comparator and when the voltage at VDD falls below VIT,
the reset output is asserted to active state after the propagation delay time: tPHL for TPS3836 and TPS3838, tPLH
for TPS3837. When VDD rises above VIT plus VHYS and MR is logic high, the reset output deasserts to an inactive
state after the reset delay time, tD. Note that the VDD and MR pins have different propagation delays with the
same label.
9.3.2 Manual Reset (MR)
Manual reset is an active-low logic input that when MR is logic low, the reset output asserts to the active state
after the propagation delay: tPHL for TPS3836 and TPS3838, TPLH for TPS3837. Once MR is logic high and VDD is
above VIT, the reset output deasserts to an inactive state after the reset delay time, tD. As previously noted, the
VDD and MR pins have different propagation delays with the same label.
9.3.3 Selectable Reset Delay (CT)
The reset delay, tD, can be configured to 10 ms by connecting CT to GND or 200 ms by connecting CT to VDD.

Feature Description (continued)
9.3.4 Reset Output (RESET / RESET)
TPS3836 is a push-pull, active-low RESET output. The RESET output is logic high when inactive and logic low
when active. This device does not require a pullup resistor.
TPS3837 is a push-pull, active-high RESET output. The RESET output is logic low when inactive and logic high
when active. This device does not require a pullup resistor.
TPS3838 is an open-drain, active-low RESET output. The RESET output is logic high when inactive and logic
low when active. This device does require a pullup resistor. Refer to Recommended Operating Conditions to
determine the recommended value of the pullup resistor.
NOTE
The reset output is active when VDD is below VIT or MR is logic low. The reset output is
inactive when VDD is above VIT plus VHYS and MR is logic high.
9.4 Device Functional Modes
Table 1 summarized the various functional modes of the device. Logic high is represented at "H" and logic low is
represented by "L". True is represented as "1" and false is represented as "0".

10 Application and Implementation
NOTE
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component
specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are
responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should
validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.
10.1 Application Information
The following section describes a typical application for this device. This is to serve as an example only as
different applications have different requirements.
10.2 Typical Application
In this application, TPS3836K33 monitors a 3.6-V Lithium-ion battery and sends a reset signal to a MCU when
the battery reaches undervoltage.

Figure 8. Typical Application Circuit
10.2.1 Design Requirements
This application monitors the 3.6-V battery and triggers a undervoltage fault to the MCU when the battery voltage
falls below 3 V. The application does not release the undervoltage fault until the battery voltage is above
approximately 3 V for longer than 200 ms typical. The application must not consume more than 1 µA.
10.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
The TPS3836K33 is the correct device variant to choose since the undervoltage threshold for this variant is 2.93
V typical. This meets the undervoltage fault requirement of the application. To achieve releasing the
undervoltage fault condition after the battery is above 3 V for 200 ms, connect CT to VDD to select the 200-ms
reset delay option. Choosing TPS3836 push-pull variant save a pullup resistor since no pullup resistor is required
for the push-pull variant. These family of devices have 450-nA maximum Iq, which meets the current
consumption requirement.

10.2.3 Application Curves
This section shows the voltage monitoring functionality. Figure 9 shows when VDD drops below 2.93 V, the
RESET output asserts to active low. Figure 10 shows that when the VDD rises above 2.93 V + 40 mV =
approximately 2.97 V for 200 ms, the RESET output deasserts to inactive logic high.

11 Power Supply Recommendations
These devices are designed to operate from an input supply with a voltage range between 1.6 V and 6 V. TI
recommends an input supply capacitor between the VDD pin and GND pin. This device has a 7-V absolute
maximum rating on the VDD pin. Take extra precautions if the voltage supply providing power to VDD is
susceptible to any large voltage transient that can exceed 7 V.
12 Layout
12.1 Layout Guidelines
Make sure that the connection to the VDD pin is low impedance. Good analog design practice recommends
placing a minimum 0.1-µF ceramic capacitor as near as possible to the VDD pin to GND. If using the TPS3838
variant, be sure to follow the Recommended Operating Conditions to determine the pullup resistor value. Larger
transients and faster slew rates on VDD should use larger input capacitors. If not using MR, tie to VDD to reduce
current consumption.

13.5 Electrostatic Discharge Caution
This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Texas Instruments recommends that all integrated circuits be handled with
appropriate precautions. Failure to observe proper handling and installation procedures can cause damage.
