TPS3707-30DGN

PMIC - Supervisors refers generally to integrated circuits designed to help microprocessors and microcontrollers with power control, reset and observation of voltage supply and other signals. The TPS3707-30DGN is one such device, designed to provide accurate, programmable over-voltage and under-voltage protection for applications ranging from advanced microprocessors to cost-sensitive general purpose systems.

The TPS3707-30DGN is a 31Kb system supervisor designed for advanced microprocessors, FPGAs and ASICs. It\'s small enough to fit in most single-board designs and features low supply current, fast fault detection and reset, and advanced features such as sequential reset and push-button reset debounce options. The built-in UVLO (Under Voltage Lock Out) and OVLO (Over Voltage Lock Out) thresholds are selectable to allow for tailored thresholds and protection over a wide range of input supplies.

The TPS3707-30DGN interface is based on I2C communication which allows the user to access and modify parameters related to the voltage monitor such as over-voltage and under-voltage thresholds. It also includes a Push-button reset circuit for manual reset, as well as an independent reset output for power sequence control. Its wide input voltage range of 1.65V to 5.5V make it suitable for a wide range of applications.

The TPS3707-30DGN provides the flexibility to program a specific voltage trip point, allowing the system to adjust itself to different supply rail voltages. It also offers several pre-programmed thresholds for monitoring up to four different voltage levels. This makes it an ideal choice for systems which require power-up sequencing and reset monitoring.

The TPS3707-30DGN also features an advanced user programmable power-on reset (POR) lockout timer. This feature helps reduce the possibility of unintentional processor or peripheral reset due to a false POR event. The time-out period allows the processor to reset after a detected power fault, while simultaneously helps the other peripherals to restart from their pre-conditions.

The TPS3707-30DGN is also well-suited for systems that require high speed fault detection. It can detect a power fault condition in typically less than 10 µs. This is especially beneficial in high-end processors and ASICs which require quick and reliable fault detection response without fail-safe operation.

Overall, the TPS3707-30DGN is an excellent choice for a system supervisor IC, with its high accuracy and wide input voltage range, a well-programmed power-on reset lockout timer, and a fast fault detection system. It is ideal for high-end processors and ASICs, as well as cost-sensitive general purpose systems.

The flexible capabilities of the TPS3707-30DGN makes it an ideal choice for any embedded application requiring efficient power protection and reset monitoring.
