Product details
Overview
LTC2908CTS8-B1#TRMPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a precision six-input supply monitor IC designed for multivoltage systems requiring tight threshold accuracy and ultralow-voltage reset assertion. It monitors 3.3V, 2.5V, 1.8V, 1.5V, and two adjustable inputs (VADJ1/VADJ2) with ±1.5% threshold accuracy over temperature, 200ms reset timeout, and guaranteed RST low output down to VCC = 0.5V. It is used in network servers and optical networking systems for reliable power-on reset and brownout detection.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2908CTS8-B1#TRMPBF datasheet, LTC2908CTS8-B1#TRMPBF pinout, LTC2908CTS8-B1#TRMPBF application, or LTC2908CTS8-B1#TRMPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3.3V/2.5V/1.8V/1.5V fixed thresholds, dual 0.5V-adjustable inputs, open-drain RST with 200ms delay, ±1.5% accuracy over –40°C to 85°C, and TSOT-23-8 package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The LTC2908CTS8-B1#TRMPBF implements six independent comparators with internal bandgap reference and glitch-immune timing logic. Its reset pulse generator enforces a 200ms delay after all inputs exceed their thresholds before releasing RST, and it features built-in first-order low-pass filtering on each comparator output to suppress transient-induced false triggers.
VCC is auto-selected as the greater of V1 or V2, enabling operation across input combinations without external regulation. The RST output uses a strong NMOS pull-down (typ. 40Ω) and weak 6μA internal pull-up to VCC, supporting wired-OR configurations and external pull-up for faster rise times-critical in systems with multiple supervisors or long trace lengths.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Input Count | Six simultaneous voltage inputs: V1 (3.3V), V2 (2.5V), V3 (1.8V), V4 (1.5V), VADJ1, VADJ2 |
| Threshold Accuracy | ±1.5% over full operating temperature range (–40°C to 85°C), ensuring precise margining in multivoltage systems |
| Reset Timeout | 200ms nominal delay after all inputs stabilize above threshold-eliminates noise-induced resets below 5Hz |

Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead plastic TSOT-23 (ThinSOT™), 3mm × 1.75mm footprint, 1mm profile, RoHS-compliant lead-free finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| V2 (Pin 1) | Voltage Input 2 | Monitors 2.5V rail; contributes to internal VCC selection-must be bypassed with ≥0.1μF capacitor |
| V4 (Pin 2) | Voltage Input 4 | Monitors 1.5V rail; high-impedance input draws ≤2μA-suitable for direct connection to DC/DC output |
| RST (Pin 3) | Reset Logic Output | Open-drain active-low output; pulls low when any input falls below threshold and holds for 200ms after recovery |
| GND (Pin 4) | Device Ground | Reference node for all comparators and internal circuitry-requires low-inductance connection to system ground plane |
| V1 (Pin 8) | Voltage Input 1 | Monitors 3.3V rail; primary VCC source when V1 > V2-bypass with ≥0.1μF ceramic capacitor |
| VADJ1 (Pin 7) | Adjustable Input 1 | 0.5V-referenced comparator input; connects to resistor divider for custom trip points (e.g., 12V, 5V, 1.2V) |
| V3 (Pin 6) | Voltage Input 3 | Monitors 1.8V rail; draws ≤2μA quiescent current-minimizes loading on low-noise LDO outputs |
| VADJ2 (Pin 5) | Adjustable Input 2 | Second 0.5V-referenced input; enables independent monitoring of two additional rails without external references |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar supply monitoring applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Single 3.3V input, no adjustable thresholds, 200ms fixed delay, SOT-23-6 package | Only monitors one rail; lacks multirail coordination and adjustable inputs required for complex systems | Select only when supervising a single 3.3V rail with minimal board space-cannot replace LTC2908CTS8-B1#TRMPBF in multivoltage designs |
| MAX6369KA29+T | Quad input (2.5V/3.3V/adjustable/adjustable), ±2.5% accuracy, 140ms delay, SOT-23-8 package | Lower accuracy and shorter timeout reduce noise immunity; no V1/V2 auto-VCC selection increases supply complexity | Acceptable for cost-sensitive industrial controls where ±2.5% margining is sufficient-but not for telecom or server-grade reliability |
Compared with TPS3808G33DBVR and MAX6369KA29+T, the LTC2908CTS8-B1#TRMPBF delivers superior multirail coordination, tighter ±1.5% accuracy for robust margining, and ultralow-voltage reset assertion critical in brownout-prone infrastructure equipment.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed minimum VCC voltage for reliable RST output operation in LTC2908CTS8-B1#TRMPBF?
The LTC2908CTS8-B1#TRMPBF guarantees correct RST logic state (low output ≤0.15V) with VCC as low as 0.5V. This ultralow-voltage capability ensures deterministic reset assertion during deep brownout events where other supervisors fail-critical for maintaining system integrity in telecom and server power domains.
How does LTC2908CTS8-B1#TRMPBF achieve ±1.5% threshold accuracy over temperature?
The LTC2908CTS8-B1#TRMPBF achieves ±1.5% threshold accuracy using a trimmed bandgap reference and matched comparator input stages with curvature compensation. Electrical characterization across –40°C to 85°C confirms all six thresholds (3.3V, 2.5V, 1.8V, 1.5V, VADJ1, VADJ2) remain within this band-enabling precise system voltage margining without derating.
Can LTC2908CTS8-B1#TRMPBF monitor more than six voltage rails?
Yes-multiple LTC2908CTS8-B1#TRMPBF devices can be connected in wired-OR configuration via their open-drain RST outputs. When any input across any device falls below threshold, the shared RST line asserts low, enabling scalable supervision of 12+, 18+, or N-rail systems without redesigning the reset logic.
What is the purpose of the 200ms reset timeout in LTC2908CTS8-B1#TRMPBF?
The 200ms reset timeout in LTC2908CTS8-B1#TRMPBF prevents false triggering from supply transients and ripple by requiring all six monitored voltages to remain above threshold for a continuous 200ms period before releasing RST. This eliminates noise-induced resets below 5Hz-essential for stable boot in switching-power-supply-based systems.
How are the adjustable inputs VADJ1 and VADJ2 configured in LTC2908CTS8-B1#TRMPBF?
VADJ1 and VADJ2 in LTC2908CTS8-B1#TRMPBF connect to resistor dividers between the target rail and ground, with the noninverting comparator input fixed at 0.5V. Using R2 = 100kΩ, R1 is calculated as R1 = (VTRIP/0.5V − 1) × R2-enabling precise monitoring of rails from 0.55V to 12V with standard 1% resistors.
