SBVS050N May 2004 – August 2026 TPS3808
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 establish smooth RESET assertions and de-assertions. Good analog design practice is to put a from 1nF to 10nF bypass capacitor on the SENSE input to reduce sensitivity to transients and layout parasitics.
The TPS3808 device is relatively immune to short negative transients on the SENSE pin. Sensitivity to transients depends on threshold overdrive, as Figure 6-5 shows.
Use the TPS3808G01 to monitor any voltage rail down to 0.405 V using the circuit that Figure 7-1 shows.
