Bernd Kornmeier ABSTRACT This application report describes the TPS3801 and TPS3809 supply voltage supervisor (SVS) families of devices. The report gives a general introduction to reset generators followed by an overview of the technical parameters and the special features of the TPS380x.
2.2 Supervised Supply Voltages Table 1 gives an overview of the nominal supply voltages, which can be supervised by the TPS3801 and TPS3809. The values in the column of threshold voltage are the negative-going threshold voltages. The differences between positive-going and negative-going threshold voltage is explained in Chapter 3.

Voltage Supervision at the V Terminal 3 Voltage Supervision at the V Terminal 3.1 Functional Description The main function of an SVS is to supervise a supply voltage and to trigger a reset signal if necessary. If the supply voltage falls below the negative-going threshold voltage V , the IT–...
The 1 MΩ resistor and the 39 pF capacitor are to simulate a CMOS load. The 100 nF capacitor at the V pin of the TPS3801 is recommended for all applications. The oscilloscope records the measurement data for the plot. TPS3801/09 – Smallest SVS for Monitoring DSPs and Processors...
Voltage Supervision at the V Terminal V DD and RESET V DD and RESET RESET Figure 8. Measurement of the Voltage Drop at V A delay time of 232 ms is measured. This parameter is specified between 120 ms minimum value and 280 ms maximum value with a typical value of 200 ms. This wide range is because of variations in the process.

500 mA. For the measurement , a function generator with a limited output current was used to generate the shape of input voltage. Therefore the output current was limited to 1.5 mA with the 3.3 kΩ resistor . TPS3801/09 – Smallest SVS for Monitoring DSPs and Processors...
Applications Figure 19. Measurements of Switching Power With A TPS2051 5.3 Keeping a Low Signal at Reset Output for Voltages Below 1.1 V The reset output is defined for supply voltages above 1.1 V. Below this voltage, a low level at RESET cannot be assured, because the internal transistors need a certain voltage level to pull down the output to ground.
Applications 5.4 Supervising a Customer Defined Threshold Voltage Both families, TPS3801 and TPS3809, are available with four different fixed threshold voltages, which are 2.25 V, 2.64 V, 2.93 V, and 4.55 V typically. If the customer needs another threshold voltage, it can be adjusted with two external resistors.
