The TPS3803-Q1 and TPS3805-Q1 families of supervisory circuits provide circuit initialization and timing supervision, primarily for DSPs and processor-based systems.

The TPS3803G15-Q1 device has a fixed-sense threshold voltage V_IT set by an internal voltage divider, whereas the TPS3803-01-Q1 has an adjustable SENSE input that can be configured by two external resistors. In addition to the fixed sense threshold monitored at V_DD, the TPS3805-Q1 devices provide a second adjustable SENSE input. RESET is asserted in case either of the two voltages drops below V_IT.

During power on, RESET is asserted when supply voltage V_DD becomes higher than 0.8 V. Thereafter, the supervisory circuit monitors V_DD (and/or SENSE) and keeps RESET active as long as V_DD or SENSE remains below the threshold voltage V_IT. As soon as V_DD (SENSE) rises above the threshold voltage V_IT, RESET is deasserted again. The product spectrum is designed for 1.5-V, 3.3-V, and adjustable supply voltages.

The devices are available in a 5-pin SC-70 package. The TPS3803-Q1 and TPS3805-Q1 devices are characterized for operation over a temperature range of –40°C to 125°C.
