Product details
Overview
ADM12914-1ARQZ from Analog Devices is a quad undervoltage/overvoltage (UV/OV) supervisor IC designed for precise monitoring of up to four positive or negative voltage rails in high-reliability systems. It delivers ±0.8% threshold accuracy over −40°C to +125°C, features 1 V buffered reference output (REF), open-drain UV/OV reset outputs, and adjustable reset timeout via external capacitor. It is deployed in FPGA core/I/O supply monitoring where tight rail tolerance enforcement is critical.
For engineers reviewing the ADM12914-1ARQZ datasheet, ADM12914-1ARQZ pinout, ADM12914-1ARQZ application, or ADM12914-1ARQZ equivalent, key selection considerations include its latching OV output behavior, dual-polarity rail support via SEL pin, shunt-regulated VCC operation up to 6.8 V, and guaranteed functionality down to VCC = 0.9 V - all validated for server and medical power integrity applications.
Technical Context
The ADM12914-1ARQZ implements four independent UV/OV comparators, each using a precision 0.5 V internal reference with ±0.8% accuracy across temperature. Each monitored rail uses dedicated VHx/VLx input pairs: VHx detects UV on positive rails (or OV on negative rails), VLx detects OV on positive rails (or UV on negative rails), with polarity determined by the three-state SEL pin.
It integrates a 6.6 V shunt regulator on VCC enabling direct connection to supplies up to 6.8 V (with current-limiting resistor), supports reset timeout programming via TIMER pin capacitor (7.5–10.5 ms typical), and guarantees UV/OV output assertion even at VCC = 0.9 V. The LATCH pin provides OV latch clear functionality unique to the -1 variant.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| UV/OV Threshold Accuracy | ±0.8% over −40°C to +125°C - enables reliable detection within narrow FPGA core voltage bands (e.g., 1 V ±2.6% supply with ±5% IC tolerance). |
| VCC Operating Range | 2.3 V to 6.0 V direct supply; up to 6.8 V with shunt regulation - supports direct integration into 3.3 V, 5 V, and higher intermediate bus systems with dropper resistor. |
| Reference Output | 1 V buffered REF (±0.6% max deviation) - provides stable offset for negative rail monitoring without external reference. |
| Supply Current | 62 µA typical at 25°C - minimizes loading on low-power auxiliary rails during supervision. |
| UV/OV Timeout Period | 7.5–10.5 ms with 1 nF timer capacitor - ensures sufficient hold time for multi-rail power-up sequencing stability. |
| Input Voltage Range (VHx/VLx) | −0.3 V to +7.5 V - accommodates direct connection to negative rails (e.g., −5 V) when used with REF offset. |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive, industrial, and telecom base station environments. |
Pinout & Package
ADM12914-1ARQZ is housed in a 16-lead QSOP package (104 °C/W θJA), surface-mount compatible with standard reflow profiles and rated for extended industrial temperature operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VH1–VH4 | Voltage High Input (x1–x4) | Detects undervoltage on positive rails or overvoltage on negative rails; threshold = 0.5 V ±0.8%. |
| VL1–VL4 | Voltage Low Input (x1–x4) | Detects overvoltage on positive rails or undervoltage on negative rails; threshold = 0.5 V ±0.8%. |
| UV | Active-Low Undervoltage Reset Output | Open-drain output asserted low during any UV fault; held low for programmable timeout after fault clearance. |
| OV | Active-Low Overvoltage Reset Output | Open-drain output asserted low during any OV fault; latched low until LATCH pin toggled (ADM12914-1 specific). |
| LATCH | OV Latch Clear Input | Pulled high to clear latched OV output; pulled low to maintain latch - enables manual or system-controlled OV fault acknowledgment. |
| SEL | Polarity Select Input | Three-state control (VCC/GND/open) configuring VH3/VL3/VH4/VL4 for positive or negative rail monitoring. |
| REF | 1 V Buffered Reference Output | Sources/sinks ±1 mA; used as offset for negative rail divider networks - eliminates need for external reference in dual-polarity systems. |
| TIMER | Reset Timeout Timing Input | Connects to external capacitor (10 pF–100 nF) to set UV/OV assertion hold time; tied to VCC to bypass timeout. |
| VCC | Supply Voltage Input | Accepts 2.3–6.0 V directly; operates as 6.6 V shunt regulator above 6 V - requires series resistor if input >6 V to limit ICC ≤10 mA. |
| GND | Ground Reference | Analog and digital ground return; must be low-impedance path for accurate comparator referencing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Quad UV/OV supervision with shared outputs | Single UV and single OV pin aggregate fault status from four independent rails - simplifies host processor interrupt handling and reduces GPIO count. |
| ±0.8% threshold accuracy over full temperature range | Enables reliable monitoring of low-voltage rails (e.g., 1 V FPGA cores) where ±2.6% supply tolerance leaves only ~24 mV margin for threshold placement. |
| Latching OV output (ADM12914-1) | OV remains asserted until explicitly cleared via LATCH pin - prevents premature system restart during transient OV events in high-noise environments. |
| 1 V buffered REF output | Provides stable, low-output-impedance offset for negative rail monitoring circuits - eliminates external reference IC and associated layout complexity. |
| VCC shunt regulator (6.6 V) | Allows direct connection to 12 V or 5 V intermediate buses without external LDO - reduces BOM count and improves system-level efficiency. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADM12914-2ARQZ | Replaces latching OV with disable (DIS) pin; OV/UV outputs disabled when DIS = high. | Suitable for systems requiring software-controlled suppression of reset signals during maintenance mode. | Select ADM12914-2ARQZ when OV latching is unnecessary and active disable functionality is preferred over manual latch clearing. |
| TPS3307-18DGNR | Triple supervisor (not quad); fixed 1.8 V, 3.3 V, 5 V thresholds; no negative rail support; ±2.5% accuracy. | Applicable only to simpler, positive-only, lower-accuracy multi-rail systems without FPGA-level tolerance demands. | Choose TPS3307-18DGNR only for cost-sensitive, non-critical applications where quad monitoring and ±0.8% accuracy are not required. |
Compared with ADM12914-2ARQZ, ADM12914-1ARQZ provides deterministic OV fault acknowledgment via hardware latch clear, whereas TPS3307-18DGNR lacks quad capability, negative rail support, and fails to meet the ±0.8% accuracy needed for sub-1.2 V core monitoring - making ADM12914-1ARQZ uniquely suited for high-integrity, multi-polarity, tightly-toleranced systems.

FAQ
What is the function of the SEL pin on the ADM12914-1ARQZ?
The SEL pin on the ADM12914-1ARQZ is a three-state input that configures the polarity of VH3/VL3 and VH4/VL4 for monitoring either positive or negative voltage rails. When tied to VCC, both inputs monitor positive rails; when left open, VH3/VL3 monitor positive and VH4/VL4 monitor negative; when tied to GND, both monitor negative rails. This eliminates the need for separate supervisors in mixed-polarity systems and is a defining feature of the ADM12914-1ARQZ architecture.
How does the ADM12914-1ARQZ achieve ±0.8% threshold accuracy across temperature?
The ADM12914-1ARQZ achieves ±0.8% threshold accuracy by using a trimmed, laser-calibrated 0.5 V internal reference combined with matched comparator input stages and proprietary process compensation. This accuracy is maintained from −40°C to +125°C and is verified per Table 1 in the Rev. F datasheet - enabling reliable detection in narrow-margin applications like 1 V FPGA core monitoring where supply tolerances leave less than 25 mV for threshold placement.
Can the ADM12914-1ARQZ monitor negative voltage rails without external components?
Yes, the ADM12914-1ARQZ can monitor negative voltage rails without external references because it integrates a 1 V buffered REF output used as an offset in the resistor divider network. When SEL configures VH3/VL3 or VH4/VL4 for negative rail monitoring, the REF pin connects to the high side of the divider, allowing direct sensing of rails such as −5 V. External resistors are still required for threshold scaling, but no additional reference IC is needed - a key advantage of the ADM12914-1ARQZ design.
What is the purpose of the LATCH pin on the ADM12914-1ARQZ?
The LATCH pin on the ADM12914-1ARQZ controls the behavior of the OV output: when pulled high, it clears a latched OV condition; when held low, it maintains the OV output in a latched low state after an overvoltage event. This allows system firmware or hardware logic to acknowledge and manually reset OV faults - distinguishing ADM12914-1ARQZ from non-latching alternatives and enhancing fault diagnostics in safety-critical applications.
Does the ADM12914-1ARQZ require an external timer capacitor for basic operation?
No, the ADM12914-1ARQZ does not require an external timer capacitor for basic UV/OV detection - it functions immediately upon valid VCC and input voltages. However, the TIMER pin capacitor (typically 1 nF) sets the UV/OV reset timeout period (7.5–10.5 ms). To bypass timeout entirely, tie TIMER to VCC. Omitting the capacitor results in immediate release of UV/OV outputs after fault clearance, which may cause instability in multi-rail power-up sequences - a behavior explicitly supported but not default in ADM12914-1ARQZ operation.
