TPS3431SDRBR

The TPS3431SDRBR is a programmable watchdog timer (WDT) from Texas Instruments, designed to monitor system health in embedded applications. It features an adjustable timeout period (from 1.6ms to 204.8s) via an external capacitor, ensuring flexibility for diverse systems.
Key features include:
- Low quiescent current (1.5µA typical), ideal for power-sensitive designs.
- Manual or windowed watchdog modes, enhancing system reliability.
- Active-low reset output with a fixed delay (typ. 200ms).
- Wide 1.8V to 5.5V supply range, supporting various microcontrollers.
The SDRBR package is a 6-pin SON (1.5mm x 1.5mm), suited for compact PCB layouts. Applications include industrial controls, IoT devices, and battery-powered systems requiring fail-safe monitoring.
