Product details
Overview
ADM12914-2ARQZ from Analog Devices is a quad positive/negative voltage supervisor IC designed for high-accuracy rail monitoring in multi-rail power systems. It monitors up to four independent voltage rails-two positive and two negative-with ±0.8% threshold accuracy over −40°C to +125°C, 500 mV internal reference comparator threshold, and open-drain UV/OV reset outputs. It is used in FPGA core/I/O supply supervision where tight tolerance margins demand precise fault detection.
For engineers reviewing the ADM12914-2ARQZ datasheet, ADM12914-2ARQZ pinout, ADM12914-2ARQZ application, or ADM12914-2ARQZ equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-polarity support (via SEL pin), disable-controlled output override, 62 µA quiescent current, 1 V buffered REF output for negative rail offsetting, and adjustable 7.5–10.5 ms UV/OV timeout via external TIMER capacitor.
Technical Context
The ADM12914-2ARQZ implements four independent UV/OV comparators sharing a common 500 mV precision reference, with VHx/VLx input pairs per rail enabling simultaneous undervoltage and overvoltage detection. Its three-state SEL pin configures polarity for inputs VH3/VL3/VH4/VL4-supporting positive, negative, or mixed-supply monitoring without external level-shifting circuitry.
Unlike the latch-based ADM12914-1, the ADM12914-2ARQZ uses a dedicated DIS pin to override both UV and OV outputs high regardless of input conditions-except during VCC undervoltage lockout (UVLO at 1.94–2.06 V). Its internal 6.6 V shunt regulator enables operation from supplies up to 6 V directly or higher voltages with a dropper resistor, while maintaining guaranteed output functionality down to VCC = 0.9 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Threshold Accuracy | ±0.8% over −40°C to +125°C - ensures reliable trip points for low-voltage rails like 1 V FPGA cores within tight ±5% input windows. |
| UV/OV Threshold | 500 mV nominal - fixed internal reference enables consistent comparator decision point across all four monitored rails. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.3 V to 6.0 V (direct); >6 V with dropper resistor - internal 6.6 V shunt regulator allows use in 12 V or 24 V backplane systems. |
| Quiescent Current | 62 µA typical - enables always-on supervision in power-constrained applications such as telecom line cards. |
| Reset Timeout Range | 7.5–10.5 ms with 1 nF timer capacitor - programmable delay prevents false resets during supply settling after power-up or transient recovery. |
| Reference Output | 1 V buffered REF - provides stable offset for negative rail monitoring (e.g., −5 V) using standard resistor dividers without external references. |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive, industrial PLC, and base station equipment environments. |
Pinout & Package
ADM12914-2ARQZ is housed in a 16-lead QSOP package (θJA = 104°C/W), surface-mount compatible with standard reflow profiles and suitable for high-density PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VH1, VH2 | Positive-rail high-side UV sense | Asserts UV when voltage drops below 500 mV; connect to high-side divider tap for +V rails. |
| VL1, VL2 | Positive-rail low-side OV sense | Asserts OV when voltage rises above 500 mV; connect to low-side divider tap for +V rails. |
| VH3, VH4, VL3, VL4 | Configurable polarity inputs | SEL pin determines if these monitor positive (VHx < 500 mV → UV) or negative (VLx > 500 mV → UV) supplies. |
| DIS | UV/OV output disable control | Pulling high forces both UV and OV high-useful during system initialization or safe-mode entry. |
| REF | 1 V buffered reference output | Sources/sinks ±1 mA; used as offset for negative rail monitoring (e.g., −5 V referenced to 1 V). |
| UV / OV | Open-drain reset outputs | Active-low signals with weak internal pull-up to VCC; can be externally pulled to 16 V for mixed-voltage logic interfacing. |
| TIMER | External timeout capacitor node | Connects to ground via CTIMER (10 pF–100 nF) to set UV/OV assertion hold time; tie to VCC to bypass. |
| SEL | Three-state polarity select | Connect to VCC (positive), GND (negative), or leave open (mixed) to configure VH3/VL3/VH4/VL4 behavior. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-polarity rail supervision | Monitors both positive and negative supplies (e.g., +1.0 V and −5.0 V) using same device and REF pin-eliminates need for separate supervisors. |
| Disable-controlled reset override | DIS pin forces UV/OV high independently of input conditions-enables deterministic system reset sequencing during firmware updates or safety shutdowns. |
| Glitch-immune comparator architecture | Immune to transients <100 µs at ≤10% overdrive-prevents spurious resets from switching noise on DC/DC converter outputs. |
| Extended temperature operation | Specified from −40°C to +125°C with <±0.8% threshold drift-ensures reliability in uncooled industrial enclosures and automotive engine bays. |
| Low-power always-on monitoring | 62 µA supply current at 3.3 V-supports continuous supervision in battery-backed or energy-harvested subsystems. |
Applications
| FPGA Core & I/O Supply Monitoring | Server PSU Redundancy Control |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Supervising 1 V FPGA core and 1.8 V I/O rails in high-performance compute blades where supply regulation tolerances are ±2.6% and FPGA input limits are ±5%. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Quad UV/OV supervisor providing independent fault detection per rail, with 500 mV thresholds scaled via precision resistors to match exact trip points. Use Value: ±0.8% threshold accuracy ensures UV/OV windows fit within the narrow 24 mV margin between supply regulation and FPGA input spec-preventing false trips or missed faults. |
Use Scenario: Coordinating failover between redundant 12 V server PSUs in enterprise rack servers requiring hot-swap capability and graceful shutdown on primary PSU loss. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Monitors primary and backup 12 V rails via resistor dividers; DIS pin synchronized to system management controller to suppress resets during controlled switchover. Use Value: Adjustable 7.5–10.5 ms timeout prevents momentary dips during PSU handoff from triggering system reset-maintaining uptime during redundancy transitions. |
| Telecom Line Card Power Integrity | Medical Imaging Power Sequencing |
Use Scenario: Ensuring clean startup and fault-free operation of +3.3 V, +5 V, −5 V, and −12 V analog signal chains in optical transport network (OTN) line cards operating at −40°C to +85°C. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Single-chip solution supervising all four rails with polarity-selectable inputs (SEL pin tied to GND for negative rails), REF pin driving −5 V/−12 V divider offsets. Use Value: 16-lead QSOP footprint and −40°C to +125°C rating enable compact, rugged implementation in space-constrained, thermally demanding telecom chassis. |
Use Scenario: Verifying correct power-up sequence of detector bias supplies (+100 V, −100 V), analog front-end rails (+5 V, −5 V), and digital core (1.2 V) in portable X-ray imaging modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Uses DIS pin to gate UV/OV outputs until all rails reach valid levels, then releases reset only after full timeout-enforcing strict sequencing before image acquisition begins. Use Value: Guaranteed operation down to VCC = 0.9 V ensures supervision remains active even during brownout conditions on auxiliary supplies-critical for patient safety compliance. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADM12914-1ARQZ | Latching OV output cleared by LATCH pin; no DIS pin-OV remains asserted until manually cleared. | Suitable for fault-logging systems requiring persistent OV indication until service intervention. | Select ADM12914-1ARQZ only if latched fault reporting is required; ADM12914-2ARQZ is preferred for reset coordination with active control. |
| TPS3307-33DGNR | Triple supervisor (not quad); fixed 3.3 V, 5 V, and adjustable thresholds; no negative rail support or REF output. | Limited to positive-only, lower channel count applications-requires additional ICs for full quad + negative coverage. | Choose TPS3307-33DGNR only for simpler 3-rail +3.3 V/5 V systems; ADM12914-2ARQZ provides integrated quad + polarity flexibility. |
Compared with ADM12914-1ARQZ and TPS3307-33DGNR, the ADM12914-2ARQZ uniquely combines quad-channel supervision, configurable polarity, disable-controlled outputs, and a buffered 1 V reference-making it the only single-package solution for mixed positive/negative rail monitoring with deterministic reset timing.

FAQ
What is the function of the DIS pin on the ADM12914-2ARQZ?
The DIS (Disable) pin on the ADM12914-2ARQZ forces both UV and OV outputs high when driven logic-high, overriding all internal fault detection. This enables controlled reset suppression during system initialization or safe-mode entry. The ADM12914-2ARQZ maintains this state until DIS is deasserted, except during VCC undervoltage lockout (below 1.94 V), where UV/OV assert regardless of DIS state.
How does the ADM12914-2ARQZ monitor negative voltage rails?
The ADM12914-2ARQZ monitors negative rails using its 1 V buffered REF output as an offset reference. With SEL pin configured (e.g., tied to GND), inputs VH3/VL3/VH4/VL4 interpret rising VLx or falling VHx relative to 500 mV as UV/OV events. For example, a −5 V rail connects through a resistor divider to REF (1 V) and GND, producing VL4 > 500 mV during undervoltage-triggering UV assertion. The ADM12914-2ARQZ requires no external op-amps or level shifters.
What is the minimum and maximum timeout period achievable with the TIMER pin on the ADM12914-2ARQZ?
The ADM12914-2ARQZ supports a UV/OV timeout period of 7.5 ms to 10.5 ms with a 1 nF capacitor at the TIMER pin, scaling linearly with capacitance (tUOTO ≈ CTIMER × 1.15 s/F). Using the recommended 10 pF–100 nF range, timeout spans ~11.5 µs to ~115 ms. Values below 10 pF risk insufficient charge; capacitors must exhibit leakage <1.7 µA to avoid timing error. The ADM12914-2ARQZ timer is disabled when TIMER is tied to VCC.
Can the ADM12914-2ARQZ operate from a 12 V supply?
Yes-the ADM12914-2ARQZ incorporates an internal 6.6 V shunt regulator on the VCC pin. To operate from 12 V, a dropper resistor must limit current into VCC to ≤10 mA (e.g., ≥1.2 kΩ for 12 V). Without the resistor, VCC must remain ≤6 V. The ADM12914-2ARQZ regulates internally, delivering stable operation and full specification compliance-including 62 µA ICC and ±0.8% threshold accuracy-even with higher input voltages.
What is the purpose of the SEL pin on the ADM12914-2ARQZ?
The SEL (Select) pin on the ADM12914-2ARQZ is a three-state input that configures the polarity interpretation of VH3/VL3/VH4/VL4. When tied to VCC, all four inputs monitor positive rails; when tied to GND, they monitor negative rails; when left open, VH3/VL3 monitor positive and VH4/VL4 monitor negative. This eliminates external polarity-reversal circuitry and allows one ADM12914-2ARQZ to supervise mixed-supply systems without redesign.
