Product details
Overview
ADM2914-2ARQZ from Analog Devices is a quad UV/OV voltage supervisor IC designed to monitor up to four independent power rails-two positive and two negative-for simultaneous undervoltage and overvoltage conditions. It features ±1.5% threshold accuracy over −40°C to +125°C, 1 V buffered reference output (REF), open-drain UV/OV reset outputs, adjustable reset timeout via external TIMER capacitor, and a dedicated DIS pin for overriding both reset signals. It is used in FPGA/DSP core-I/O monitoring and telecom server supply supervision.
For engineers reviewing the ADM2914-2ARQZ datasheet, ADM2914-2ARQZ pinout, ADM2914-2ARQZ application, or ADM2914-2ARQZ equivalent, key selection considerations include its dual-polarity rail support (enabled by SEL pin), disable-controlled reset assertion, shunt-regulated operation up to 6 V on VCC, and guaranteed functionality down to 1 V supply.
Technical Context
The ADM2914-2ARQZ implements four independent comparator pairs (VHx/VLx per rail), each referenced to a precision 500 mV internal threshold with ±1.5% accuracy across temperature. Its SEL pin configures polarity of inputs VH3/VL3/VH4/VL4 as positive or negative via three-state logic (VCC/GND/open), enabling flexible monitoring of mixed-rail systems.
Unlike the ADM2914-1 variant, the ADM2914-2ARQZ uses a dedicated DIS pin to force UV and OV outputs high regardless of input conditions-except during VCC undervoltage lockout (UVLO at 1.9–2.1 V). Reset timeout is fully programmable (6–14 ms) using an external capacitor on the TIMER pin, and both outputs remain asserted until all monitored rails stabilize within thresholds.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| UV/OV Threshold | 500 mV ±1.5% - enables precise rail monitoring with tight tolerance margins, e.g., valid for 1 V ±5% FPGA core supplies. |
| Reference Output | 1 V buffered REF - provides stable offset for negative rail monitoring; supports ±1 mA load and ≤1 nF capacitive drive. |
| Supply Range | VCC = 2.3 V to 6 V direct; >6 V supported via internal 6.6 V shunt regulator with dropper resistor (≤10 mA max). |
| Reset Timeout | 6–14 ms adjustable - set by external TIMER capacitor (1 nF → ~8.5 ms); bypassable by tying TIMER to VCC. |
| Quiescent Current | 62 μA typical - ensures minimal impact on low-power system standby budgets. |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to +125°C - qualified for industrial and extended-temperature embedded applications including telecom and medical equipment. |
| Output Type | Open-drain UV/OV - allows wired-OR configuration and level-shifting up to 16 V externally via pull-up resistors. |
Pinout & Package
ADM2914-2ARQZ is housed in a 16-lead QSOP package (θJA = 104°C/W), surface-mount compatible with standard reflow profiles.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VH1–VH4 | Voltage High Input (x4) | Monitor upper threshold of each rail; assert UV when voltage drops below 500 mV (positive) or exceeds threshold (negative polarity). |
| VL1–VL4 | Voltage Low Input (x4) | Monitor lower threshold of each rail; assert OV when voltage rises above 500 mV (positive) or falls below threshold (negative polarity). |
| DIS | Disable Input | Active-high override: forces UV/OV high regardless of VHx/VLx states-critical for controlled system reset sequencing. |
| SEL | Polarity Select | Three-state input (VCC/GND/open) configuring VH3/VL3/VH4/VL4 for positive/negative monitoring mode. |
| UV / OV | Open-Drain Reset Outputs | Active-low signals shared across all rails; require external pull-up; guaranteed functional down to VCC = 1 V. |
| REF | Buffered Reference | 1 V output used as offset for negative rail divider networks; enables accurate −12 V monitoring with external resistor network. |
| TIMER | Timeout Capacitor Node | Connects to external capacitor (≥10 pF) to program reset hold time; tied to VCC to disable timeout delay. |
| VCC / GND | Power Supply Pins | VCC accepts 2.3–6 V directly or higher via shunt regulation; GND serves as analog/digital reference return. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Quad independent UV/OV monitoring | Four VHx/VLx pairs enable concurrent supervision of 2 positive + 2 negative rails without external comparators. |
| Configurable polarity via SEL pin | Single three-state control selects input behavior for last two rails-eliminates need for separate positive/negative supervisor ICs. |
| Disable-controlled reset override | DIS pin provides deterministic reset inhibition during firmware-controlled power sequencing or safe-mode entry. |
| 1 V buffered reference | Stable REF output removes need for external precision reference when monitoring negative supplies like −12 V. |
| Glitch-immune comparator architecture | Immunity to <100 ns transients ensures reliable detection in noisy power environments (e.g., switching PSUs). |
Applications
| Server Supply Monitoring | FPGA/DSP Core & I/O Voltage Monitoring |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Real-time supervision of multiple DC/DC converter outputs (e.g., 12 V, 5 V, 3.3 V, 1.2 V) in rack-mounted servers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Quad supervisor asserts UV/OV resets if any rail deviates beyond ±3% during boot or runtime-triggering BMC-initiated recovery. Use Value: Prevents system lockup or data corruption by ensuring all rails are stable before releasing processor reset, leveraging adjustable timeout and DIS pin for coordinated sequencing. | Use Scenario: Monitoring core (1 V) and I/O (2.5 V, 3.3 V) supplies for Xilinx Kintex or Intel Stratix FPGAs in high-reliability industrial controllers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Detects undervoltage on 1 V core before configuration completes; OV on 3.3 V I/O during hot-swap events-both triggering hardware reset via shared UV/OV lines. Use Value: Enables fail-safe FPGA operation with ±1.5% threshold accuracy matching tight supply tolerances, avoiding partial configuration or metastability. |
| Telecommunications Equipment | Medical Equipment |
Use Scenario: Supervising redundant −48 V DC plant feeds and intermediate 5 V/3.3 V distribution in LTE base station power modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Uses REF pin and SEL configuration to monitor −48 V rail with precision resistor dividers; DIS pin synchronizes reset with backplane communication status. Use Value: Ensures continuous uptime by detecting slow droop on −48 V supplies before brownout occurs-critical for 99.999% availability requirements. | Use Scenario: Monitoring isolated 5 V, 3.3 V, and −12 V rails powering analog front-end ADCs and digital signal processors in portable ultrasound units. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Simultaneously supervises positive logic rails and negative bias supplies feeding op-amps; UV/OV outputs feed watchdog timer with programmable hold time. Use Value: Guarantees patient safety by halting acquisition if any rail drifts outside clinical-grade limits (e.g., −12 V ±5%), validated over full −40°C to +85°C operating range. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADM2914-1ARQZ | Latching OV output cleared by LATCH pin; no DIS pin; OV remains asserted until manually cleared. | Suitable where persistent fault indication is required (e.g., diagnostic logging), but lacks real-time disable capability. | Select ADM2914-1ARQZ only if latched OV behavior aligns with system fault-handling policy-not for dynamic reset suppression. |
| TPS3307-33D | Triple supervisor (not quad); fixed 3.3 V UV threshold; no negative rail support; no REF output. | Limited to single-rail or multi-rail positive-only systems; cannot replace ADM2914-2ARQZ in mixed-polarity designs. | Use TPS3307-33D only for cost-sensitive 3.3 V-only applications lacking negative monitoring needs. |
Compared with ADM2914-1ARQZ and TPS3307-33D, the ADM2914-2ARQZ uniquely combines quad-rail supervision, configurable polarity, disable-controlled reset, and integrated 1 V reference-making it irreplaceable in systems requiring simultaneous positive/negative rail monitoring with programmable fault response.

FAQ
What is the function of the DIS pin on the ADM2914-2ARQZ?
The DIS (Disable) pin on the ADM2914-2ARQZ is an active-high input that forces both UV and OV outputs high regardless of VHx/VLx input states-enabling controlled reset suppression during firmware-initiated power transitions. When DIS is pulled high, the ADM2914-2ARQZ ceases asserting resets even if monitored rails violate thresholds, except during VCC undervoltage lockout (below 1.9 V). This behavior is unique to the ADM2914-2ARQZ variant and distinguishes it from the latching ADM2914-1ARQZ.
How does the ADM2914-2ARQZ support negative voltage monitoring?
The ADM2914-2ARQZ supports negative voltage monitoring using its 1 V buffered REF output as an offset reference for external resistor dividers. When the SEL pin configures inputs VH3/VL3/VH4/VL4 for negative polarity, internal logic swaps UV/OV detection logic: VLx rising above 500 mV triggers undervoltage, and VHx falling below 500 mV triggers overvoltage. The REF pin connects to the high-side node of the divider, enabling accurate supervision of rails such as −12 V with ±5% tolerance-verified in the datasheet's Figure 20 example.
What is the maximum supply voltage the ADM2914-2ARQZ can tolerate on the VCC pin?
The ADM2914-2ARQZ tolerates up to 6 V directly on the VCC pin. For supplies exceeding 6 V, its internal 6.6 V shunt regulator activates-requiring an external dropper resistor to limit current into VCC to ≤10 mA. Absolute maximum rating is 6 V for direct connection; operation above this without current limiting risks permanent damage. Datasheet Table 2 confirms −0.3 V to +6 V as the absolute maximum VCC rating, with shunt regulation explicitly enabled only when VCC exceeds 6 V in regulated mode.
Can the ADM2914-2ARQZ monitor four independent positive rails?
Yes-the ADM2914-2ARQZ can monitor four independent positive rails by configuring the SEL pin to VCC, which sets all VHx/VLx inputs (including VH3/VL3/VH4/VL4) to positive polarity mode. In this configuration, each rail uses its dedicated VHx pin for undervoltage detection (VHx < 500 mV) and VLx pin for overvoltage detection (VLx > 500 mV). All four rails operate simultaneously with independent thresholds set by external resistor dividers, as confirmed in the Functional Block Diagram and Table 5 of the ADM2914 Rev. F datasheet.
What capacitor value yields an 8.5 ms reset timeout on the ADM2914-2ARQZ?
A 1 nF capacitor connected between the TIMER pin and GND yields a nominal 8.5 ms UV/OV reset timeout on the ADM2914-2ARQZ, as specified in Table 1 (tUOTO = 6–12.5 ms at TA = −40°C to +85°C, typ. 8.5 ms). The relationship follows tUOTO ≈ 115 × CTIMER (in seconds), so CTIMER = 8.5 ms / 115 ≈ 73.9 nF-but datasheet Figure 15 and Table 1 confirm 1 nF produces ~8.5 ms at 25°C. This value is validated across temperature (6–14 ms range), and minimum recommended capacitance is 10 pF.
