Product Overview: TPS3707-33DGN from Texas Instruments
The TPS3707-33DGN is a high-precision supply voltage supervisor designed and manufactured by Texas Instruments, a leader in semiconductor solutions. This device is tailored to monitor the system voltage in microprocessor (µP), microcontroller (MCU), and digital systems, ensuring that the system operates within the specified voltage range for optimal performance.
With its small 8-pin MSOP (Mini Small Outline Package) footprint, the TPS3707-33DGN offers a compact solution for space-constrained applications. It is capable of supervising a fixed voltage of 3.3V, which is a common voltage level for logic circuits in various electronic devices.
The TPS3707-33DGN features a low threshold voltage of 2.93V and a high threshold voltage of 3.07V, providing a tight accuracy that is essential for reliable system operation. This accuracy ensures that the system is protected from under-voltage conditions which can lead to erratic operation or damage to the system.
One of the key functions of the TPS3707-33DGN is its reset output, which can be connected to the reset input of a microprocessor. When the monitored voltage drops below the threshold, the device asserts a reset signal, holding the processor in a reset state until stable operating conditions are restored. This feature is critical in preventing system failures and data corruption during power-up, power-down, and brown-out conditions.
The device also includes a built-in delay feature that prevents false triggering due to transient voltage dips, ensuring that the reset signal is only asserted when necessary. This delay can be programmed by an external capacitor, providing design flexibility to meet specific system requirements.
Overall, the TPS3707-33DGN is a robust, reliable, and precise voltage supervisor, making it an ideal choice for applications such as portable electronics, embedded systems, and any application where power supply stability is crucial. It is a testament to Texas Instruments' commitment to providing high-quality components that enhance system reliability and performance.
