Product Overview: TPS3617-50DGKRG4

The TPS3617-50DGKRG4 is a specialized integrated circuit (IC) designed and manufactured by Texas Instruments, a leader in semiconductor solutions. This particular component is a supervisory circuit that provides crucial monitoring functions for microprocessor (µP) systems. It ensures that the µP and its associated hardware components operate correctly during power-up, operation, and power-down conditions.

Key Features

• Voltage Monitoring: The TPS3617-50DGKRG4 monitors the supply voltage (VDD) and keeps the microprocessor in reset until the system voltage reaches a stable and precise threshold level, ensuring a reliable system start-up.
• Manual Reset: An additional feature of this IC is a manual reset input that allows the user to initiate a system reset, providing an extra layer of control over the system's operation.
• Power-On Reset Generator: This device includes a power-on reset generator with a fixed delay time of 200ms, which gives the system sufficient time to stabilize before the microprocessor starts executing code.
• Low Supply Current: With a low supply current of 9 µA (typical), the TPS3617-50DGKRG4 is an energy-efficient choice for battery-powered and power-sensitive applications.
• Temperature Range: The device operates over a wide temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, making it suitable for industrial applications where reliability is critical under varying environmental conditions.
