TPS38700-Q1 is a versatile part that can be configured for multiple configurations. The part can be ordered as a pure sequencer, pure GPIO expander, or combination sequencer & GPIO outputs. The outputs can be factory configured as push-pull or open-drain. Sequencing outputs can be assigned to ACT pin and/or SLEEP pin. These sequencing outputs can be factory configured for default values and subsequently changed via I²C on power-up before sending ACT pin high. The device also features a Built in Self-Test (BIST) function which runs automatically on power up.

TPS38700-Q1 features a precise Real Time Clock (RTC) CLK32K output with the aide of an external crystal (XTAL). It also has an RTC alarm feature and a window watchdog, all of which can be configured via I²C. The TPS38700-Q1 is capable of various I²C logic levels. A full featured Graphical User Interface (GUI) is available for download in the product folder. Contact a Texas Instruments representative for custom configured part queries.

TPS38700-Q1 can be configured to have up to twelve channels and has an emergency power down (NEM_PD) function that is activated once VDD falls below the UVLO threshold of the device. Once in the emergency power down sequence, the TPS38700-Q1 will either turn off or enter into Backup state. If a voltage on V_BBAT is present and greater than 1.85 V, then the TPS38700-Q1 will enter into Backup state and the power supply for the device will switch to V_BBAT.

The TPS38700-Q1 is AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive applications and has been characterized from
-40ºC to +125ºC.
