TPS3808 RESET RELEASE — ARTICLE 101

This is a bench circuit without a microcontroller, plus a host-only calculator and ideal event model. No firmware binary or physical IC simulation is provided. Read the complete article before wiring.

Exact U1: TI TPS3808G01DBVR, DBV/SOT-23-6, on a continuity-checked passive adapter. One regulated 3.30 V source powers U1, P1 and the RESET pull-up. There is no independently powered SENSE source.

P1 is Bourns 3386P-1-103LF, 10 kΩ. R1/R2 are 64.9 kΩ / 10 kΩ. R3 is the 100 kΩ RESET pull-up. C1 is a 1 nF SENSE filter; C3 is a 100 nF power bypass. C2 is WIMA MKS2C031001A00JSSD, 100 nF ±5%, connected through removable J1. Change J1 only with all power removed. Keep CT short, clean and unprobed. Source and instrument reference leads share GND.

Host Python uses only its standard library:
python tps3808_release_model.py > model-report.json
python test_release_model.py

The first command emits finite constructed states and nominal arithmetic, not physical measurements. There are two 1201-row profiles on a 1 ms grid. Hysteresis and delay are illustrative assumptions. The 100 nF equation does not provide a guaranteed minimum/maximum delay. Model time is restricted to 0–60 s; invalid inputs cause sticky rejection. UNKNOWN below the chosen valid-supply range is an application-model limit, not a physical output prediction.

The blank CSV contains only a header. Both original SVG and PNG figure pairs are included. Apply the exact current datasheet, source, tolerance, load and temperature conditions before a physical experiment. No hardware test, target build, processor-reset qualification or power-on guarantee is claimed.
