Product details
Overview
LTC2900-2IMS#PBF from Analog Devices (acquired Linear Technology) is a programmable quad supply monitor IC with push-pull RST output, simultaneously monitoring up to four voltage rails (e.g., 5V, 3.3V, 2.5V, 1.8V), ±1.5% threshold accuracy over temperature, 43µA typical supply current, and adjustable reset timeout via external capacitor. It serves as a system-level power supervisor in multivoltage embedded controllers.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2900-2IMS#PBF datasheet, LTC2900-2IMS#PBF pinout, LTC2900-2IMS#PBF application, or LTC2900-2IMS#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed RST validity down to VCC = 1V, push-pull output drive capability (200µA source, 2.5mA sink), manual reset propagation delay <1µs, and support for both positive/negative adjustable thresholds via external resistor dividers.
Technical Context
The LTC2900-2IMS#PBF implements four independent high-accuracy comparators referenced to a buffered 1.210V internal bandgap, with threshold selection determined by a ratiometric voltage on the VPG pin. Its architecture guarantees glitch immunity and correct RST state during brownout, power-up, and power-down sequences.
Unlike open-drain variants, the LTC2900-2IMS#PBF features an actively driven push-pull RST output tied to V2, enabling direct interface with CMOS logic without external pull-ups. The reset timeout is precisely set by CRT capacitance (217 pF/ms scaling), and manual reset debouncing is integrated via the same timing capacitor.

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad-supply monitoring applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC2901CMS#PBF | 16-lead narrow SSOP package; adds watchdog timer and separate watchdog timeout capacitor (WDT pin) | Required where system-level watchdog supervision (not just power-on reset) is mandated | Select LTC2901CMS#PBF only if watchdog functionality is needed; otherwise LTC2900-2IMS#PBF offers smaller footprint and lower cost |
| LTC1326CMS8#PBF | Triple-supply monitor (5V/3.3V/ADJ); 8-lead SOIC; ±0.75% threshold accuracy; open-drain RST | Suitable for simpler 3-rail systems; lacks fourth input and negative voltage support | Choose LTC1326CMS8#PBF for cost-sensitive 3-rail designs where –ADJ or quad monitoring is unnecessary |
Compared with LTC2901CMS#PBF and LTC1326CMS8#PBF, the LTC2900-2IMS#PBF uniquely balances quad-rail flexibility, push-pull drive, and MSOP compactness-making it optimal for space-constrained multivoltage systems requiring deterministic reset without watchdog overhead.

FAQ
What is the function of the CRT pin on the LTC2900-2IMS#PBF?
The CRT pin on the LTC2900-2IMS#PBF sets the reset timeout duration by connecting an external capacitor to ground. With a scaling factor of 217 pF/ms, a 47nF capacitor yields a 216ms reset pulse. Leaving CRT unconnected produces a minimum ~50µs delay. This capacitor also debounces the manual reset (PBR) signal.
How does the LTC2900-2IMS#PBF differ from the LTC2900-1IMS#PBF?
The LTC2900-2IMS#PBF features a push-pull RST output actively driven to V2, while the LTC2900-1IMS#PBF uses an open-drain RST with weak internal pull-up. This means LTC2900-2IMS#PBF requires no external pull-up resistor, achieves faster rise time (~206ns vs. >80µs), and guarantees defined logic states even with high-impedance loads.
Can the LTC2900-2IMS#PBF monitor negative voltages?
Yes-the LTC2900-2IMS#PBF supports –ADJ mode on the V4 pin, enabling negative voltage monitoring (e.g., –5V, –12V). An external resistor divider connects between the negative rail and VREF (1.210V), with the tap fed to V4. The trip point is calculated as VTRIP = VREF × R3/R4, referenced to ground.
What is the minimum VCC required for valid RST operation in the LTC2900-2IMS#PBF?
The LTC2900-2IMS#PBF guarantees correct RST logic state for VCC ≥ 1V. This ensures reliable reset assertion during deep brownout conditions-critical for preserving data integrity in storage controllers and telecom systems where supply collapse may occur below 2V.
How is threshold voltage selection implemented on the LTC2900-2IMS#PBF?
Threshold selection on the LTC2900-2IMS#PBF is performed via the VPG pin, which accepts a ratiometric voltage divider between VREF (1.210V) and GND. Sixteen discrete ratios (e.g., 0.406 for 5V/3.3V/2.5V/1.8V) correspond to specific input combinations, with recommended 1% resistor values provided in the datasheet Table 1.
