TPS3106

The TPS310x and TPS311x families of supervisory circuits provide circuit initialization and timing supervision, primarily for DSP and processor-based systems.

During power-on, RESET is asserted low when the supply voltage (V_DD) becomes higher than 0.4 V. Thereafter, the supervisory circuit monitors V_DD and keeps the RESET output low as long as V_DD remains below the threshold voltage (V_IT–). To ensure proper system reset, after V_DD surpasses the threshold voltage, an internal timer delays the transition of the RESET signal from low to high for the specified time. When V_DD drops below V_IT–, the output transitions low again.

All the devices of this family have a fixed-sense threshold voltage (V_IT–) set by an internal voltage divider.

The TPS3103 and TPS3106 devices have an active-low, open-drain RESET output and either an integrated power-fail input (PFI) or SENSE input with corresponding outputs for monitoring other voltages. The TPS3110 has an active-low push/pull RESET and a watchdog timer to monitor the operation of microprocessors. All three devices have a manual reset pin that can be used to force the outputs low regardless of the sensed voltages.

The product spectrum is designed for supply voltages of 0.9 V up to 3.6 V. The circuits are available in 6-pin SOT-23 packages. The TPS31xx family is characterized for operation over a temperature range of –40°C to 125°C.
