Key Features
- 5 V battery-backup supervisor for SRAM/NVRAM data retention
- Fixed 4.55 V reset threshold with power-on reset generation
- Single-channel supervisor in compact 8-pin SOIC package
- Automatic switchover control between primary and backup supply
- Monitors supply voltage continuously with low quiescent current
- Supports battery-backed memory systems without external discrete components
Applications
The TPS3618-50DGKT is used in embedded systems with battery-backed SRAM or NVRAM that must retain critical data during power outages, such as industrial PLCs, smart meters, and real-time clock modules. It monitors the 5 V primary supply and asserts reset when voltage drops below 4.55 V, ensuring clean handover to the backup battery. Data logging devices and point-of-sale terminals rely on this supervisor to prevent memory corruption during power transitions.

Frequently Asked Questions
At what voltage level does the TPS3618-50DGKT assert a reset signal?
The TPS3618-50DGKT has a fixed reset threshold of 4.55 V. When the primary 5 V supply drops below this level, the device asserts its reset output and initiates battery-backup mode to preserve SRAM or NVRAM contents, ensuring no data corruption occurs during power-loss events.
Which memory retention scenarios is the TPS3618-50DGKT designed to handle?
The TPS3618-50DGKT is specifically designed for SRAM and NVRAM retention applications operating from a 5 V rail. It handles both brief glitches and extended power outages by switching automatically to a backup battery supply, making it well-suited for industrial data loggers, PLCs, and medical device memory management systems requiring uninterrupted data integrity.
How does the built-in power-on reset generator of the TPS3618-50DGKT simplify system design?
The integrated power-on reset generator in the TPS3618-50DGKT eliminates the need for an external RC reset circuit, reducing component count and board space. It generates a clean reset pulse whenever VCC rises above 4.55 V during power-up, ensuring the connected processor or memory controller starts reliably from a defined initial state every time.
What is the package and form factor of the TPS3618-50DGKT for PCB layout planning?
The TPS3618-50DGKT comes in an 8-pin SOIC (S-PDSO-G8) package with a 1.27 mm pin pitch, a standard small-outline footprint that is widely available, easily hand-solderable, and fits in tight board areas alongside the RAM chips it protects. Its small size supports high-density PCB layouts with battery-backup circuitry.
