Design Requirements

This design requires voltage supervision on a 12-V power supply voltage rail with possibility of the 12-V rail rising up as high as 18 V. The undervoltage fault occurs when the power supply voltage drops below 10 V.

PARAMETER DESIGN REQUIREMENT DESIGN RESULT
Power Rail Voltage Supervision Monitor 12-V power supply for undervoltage condition, trigger a undervoltage fault at 10 V. TPS3840 provides voltage monitoring with 1% accuracy with device options available in 0.1 V variations. The TPS3840 monitors voltages above 1.6 V.
Maximum Input Power Operate with power supply input up to 18 V. The TPS3840 limits VDD to 10 V but can monitor voltages higher than the maximum VDD voltage with the use of an external resistor divider.
Output logic voltage 3.3-V Open-Drain 3.3-V Open-Drain
Maximum device current consumption 35 µA when power supply is at 18 V maximum TPS3840 requires 350 nA (typical) and the external resistor divider will also consume current. There is a tradeoff between current consumption and voltage monitor accuracy but generally set the resistor divider to consume 100 times current into VDD.
Voltage Monitor Accuracy Typical voltage monitor accuracy of 2.5%. This allows the voltage threshold to range between 11.75 V and 10.25 V. The TPS3840 has 1% typical voltage monitor accuracy. By decreasing the ratio of resistor values, the resistor divider will consume more current but the accuracy will increase. The resistor tolerance also needs to be accounted for.
Delay when returning from fault condition RESET delay of at least 200 ms when returning from a undervoltage fault. CCT = 0.33 µF sets 204 ms delay
