Texas Instruments TPS3840/TPS3840-Q1 Nanopower Voltage Supervisors

Texas Instruments TPS3840/TPS3840-Q1 Nanopower High-Input Voltage Supervisors come with a wide Vin, which allows monitoring 9V rails or batteries without external components and 24V rails with external resistors. Nano-Iq extends battery life for low-power applications and minimizes current consumption using external resistors. Fast start-up delay allows the detection of a voltage fault before the rest of the system powers up, providing maximum safety in hazardous start-up fault conditions. Low Power-on-Reset (VPOR) prevents false resets, premature enable or turn-on of the next device, and proper transistor control during power-up and power-down.

The reset output signal is asserted when the voltage at VDD drops below the negative voltage threshold (VIT-) or when the manual reset (MR) is pulled to a low logic (VMR_L). The reset signal is cleared when VDD rises above VIT- plus hysteresis (VIT+), manual reset is floating or above VMR_H, and the reset time delay (tD) expires. Reset time delay can be programmed by connecting a capacitor between the CT pin and ground. For a fast reset, the CT pin can be left floating. Additional features include built-in glitch immunity protection for MR and VDD, built-in hysteresis, and low open-drain output leakage current (ILKG(OD)). The Texas Instruments TPS3840-Q1 devices are AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive applications.
