SNVSCE0B May 2023 – January 2024 TPS3808E
PRODUCTION DATA
The SENSE input provides a pin at which any system voltage can be monitored. If the voltage on this pin drops below VIT, then RESET is asserted. The comparator has a built-in hysteresis to ensure smooth RESET assertions and de-assertions. It is good analog design practice to put a 1nF to 10nF bypass capacitor on the SENSE input to reduce sensitivity to transients and layout parasitics.
The TPS3808E device is relatively immune to short negative transients on the SENSE pin. Sensitivity to transients is dependent on threshold overdrive.
The adjustable variant can be used to monitor any voltage rail down to 0.405V using the circuit shown in Figure 8-3.
