Product details
Overview
LTC2901-4IGN#TRPBF from Analog Devices (acquired Linear Technology) is a programmable quad supply monitor IC with push-pull RST output, 10% undervoltage tolerance selection via TOL pin, ±1.5% threshold accuracy over temperature, 43μA typical supply current, and adjustable reset/watchdog timing via external capacitors. It monitors four independent supplies (e.g., 5V, 3.3V, 2.5V, 1.8V) in multivoltage systems such as telecom equipment and network servers.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2901-4IGN#TRPBF datasheet, LTC2901-4IGN#TRPBF pinout, LTC2901-4IGN#TRPBF application, or LTC2901-4IGN#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its push-pull RST output (vs open-drain variants), TOL pin logic-level programmability for 5%/10% thresholds, guaranteed RST operation down to VCC = 1V, and 16-pin narrow SSOP package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The LTC2901-4IGN#TRPBF implements four independent voltage comparators with user-selectable thresholds across 16 combinations (5V/3.3V/3V/2.5V/1.8V/1.5V/±Adj), where VPG pin programming sets the input configuration via a precision resistive divider. Its internal bandgap reference (1.210V ±1.5%) enables accurate threshold generation across –40°C to 85°C.
Reset and watchdog timing are capacitor-programmable: CRT sets tRST (4.6ms/nF), CWT sets tWD (20ms/nF); both support minimum delays of 50μs and 200μs respectively when left unconnected. The TOL pin (Pin 7) selects 5% or 10% undervoltage tolerance-logic low for 5%, high for 10%-exclusively on LTC2901-3/LTC2901-4 variants.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Current | 43μA typical - enables battery-backed or ultra-low-power system monitoring without significant quiescent load. |
| Threshold Accuracy | ±1.5% over temperature - ensures reliable reset assertion across industrial temperature range without calibration. |
| RST Output Type | Push-pull - actively drives high to V2, eliminating need for external pull-up resistor in most applications. |
| VCC Operating Range | 1V minimum - guarantees correct RST/COMPX logic state during brownout, supporting graceful power-down sequencing. |
| Input Voltage Range | –0.3V to 7V per input - accommodates monitoring of positive, negative, and adjustable supplies with robust ESD protection. |
| Reset Delay Range | 50μs to >10s via CRT capacitor - supports microprocessor reset timing requirements from fast boot to complex initialization sequences. |
| Watchdog Timeout Range | 200μs to >10s via CWT capacitor - configurable to match software execution cycles without requiring firmware modification. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 16-lead narrow plastic SSOP (GN16), 0.15mm max height, 0.65mm pitch, RoHS-compliant lead-free (#TRPBF).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| COMP3 (Pin 1) | Comparator Output 3 | Active-high nondelayed monitor signal for V3 input; weak pull-up to V2 enables direct connection to logic inputs. |
| COMP1 (Pin 2) | Comparator Output 1 | Active-high nondelayed monitor signal for V1 input; provides individual fault indication without reset delay. |
| V3 (Pin 3) | Voltage Input 3 | Configurable input for 2.5V, 1.8V, 1.5V, or ADJ mode; high-impedance (>100MΩ) minimizes loading on monitored rail. |
| V1 (Pin 4) | Voltage Input 1 | Primary supply input (5V or 3.3V); greater of V1/V2 defines internal VCC, enabling self-powered operation. |
| CRT (Pin 5) | Reset Timing Capacitor | Connects external capacitor to GND to set precise reset timeout (4.6ms/nF); open-circuit yields ~50μs minimum. |
| RST (Pin 6) | Reset Logic Output | Push-pull active-low output driven to V2; asserts when any input falls below threshold and holds for programmed CRT delay. |
| TOL (Pin 7) | Tolerance Selection Input | Logic-level control (0.3VCC/0.7VCC thresholds) to select 5% or 10% undervoltage detection window - unique to LTC2901-3/4. |
| WDI (Pin 8) | Watchdog Input | Rising/falling edge resets watchdog timer; required within tWD period to prevent RST pulse (LTC2901-4) or WDO assertion (LTC2901-2). |
| CWT (Pin 9) | Watchdog Timing Capacitor | Connects external capacitor to GND to set watchdog timeout (20ms/nF); open-circuit yields ~200μs minimum. |
| GND (Pin 10) | Ground Reference | Common return for all analog and digital circuitry; requires low-inductance connection to minimize noise coupling. |
| VPG (Pin 11) | Program Input | Accepts voltage divider ratio from VREF/GND to select one of 16 preset/adjustable voltage monitoring configurations. |
| VREF (Pin 12) | Buffered Reference | 1.210V ±1.5% bandgap reference; sources/sinks ±1mA, drives up to 1000pF bypass capacitor without oscillation. |
| V4 (Pin 13) | Voltage Input 4 | Configurable input for 1.8V, 1.5V, ADJ, or –ADJ mode; supports negative supply monitoring via VREF-referenced divider. |
| V2 (Pin 14) | Voltage Input 2 | Secondary supply input (3.3V/3V/2.5V); greater of V1/V2 defines VCC and serves as pull-up rail for all logic outputs. |
| COMP4 (Pin 15) | Comparator Output 4 | Active-high nondelayed monitor signal for V4 input; enables independent validation of fourth supply before system enable. |
| COMP2 (Pin 16) | Comparator Output 2 | Active-high nondelayed monitor signal for V2 input; provides real-time status of secondary supply independent of reset logic. |
Key Features

FAQ
What is the function of the TOL pin on the LTC2901-4IGN#TRPBF?
The TOL pin (Pin 7) on the LTC2901-4IGN#TRPBF selects undervoltage detection tolerance: a logic low configures 5% thresholds, while a logic high selects 10% thresholds. This hardware-selectable feature enables a single LTC2901-4IGN#TRPBF design to meet varying system reliability requirements without firmware changes or component swaps.
How does the LTC2901-4IGN#TRPBF differ from the LTC2901-2IGN#TRPBF?
The LTC2901-4IGN#TRPBF and LTC2901-2IGN#TRPBF share identical push-pull RST output and 16-threshold programming, but differ in TOL pin functionality: LTC2901-4IGN#TRPBF includes the TOL pin for 5%/10% tolerance selection, whereas LTC2901-2IGN#TRPBF lacks this pin and operates at fixed 5% tolerance. Both use the same 16-pin SSOP package and pinout.
Can the LTC2901-4IGN#TRPBF monitor negative voltages?
Yes, the LTC2901-4IGN#TRPBF supports negative voltage monitoring in –ADJ mode on V4 (Pin 13). By connecting an external resistive divider between the negative supply and VREF (Pin 12), the device uses VREF as a level-shift reference to detect undervoltage events down to –18mV, enabling supervision of –48V telecom rails or other negative supplies.
What is the minimum VCC required for reliable operation of the LTC2901-4IGN#TRPBF?
The LTC2901-4IGN#TRPBF guarantees correct RST and COMPX logic states for VCC ≥ 1V, with minimum programming voltage of 2.42V and minimum comparator operation at 2.32V. This allows the LTC2901-4IGN#TRPBF to assert valid reset signals during deep brownout conditions, ensuring safe processor shutdown before logic corruption occurs.
How do I calculate the reset timeout period for the LTC2901-4IGN#TRPBF?
The reset timeout period (tRST) for the LTC2901-4IGN#TRPBF is calculated as tRST = CRT × 4.6ms/nF, where CRT is the capacitance (in nF) connected between Pin 5 (CRT) and GND. For example, a 47nF capacitor yields tRST ≈ 216ms. Leaving CRT unconnected results in a minimum ~50μs delay, while ceramic capacitors are recommended for low leakage and timing accuracy.
