Product details
Overview
LTC2909CTS8-2.5#TRPBF from Analog Devices (acquired Linear Technology) is a precision dual adjustable-input undervoltage/overvoltage monitor with fixed 2.5V VCC UVLO, ±1.5% threshold accuracy, 50μA quiescent current, and open-drain RST output - used for reliable power-up/power-down sequencing in desktop computers, network servers, and automotive ECUs.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2909CTS8-2.5#TRPBF datasheet, LTC2909CTS8-2.5#TRPBF pinout, LTC2909CTS8-2.5#TRPBF application, or LTC2909CTS8-2.5#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include input polarity configuration via SEL pin, internal 200ms reset timeout, buffered 1V reference for negative-supply offset, 0.5V nominal ADJ threshold, and guaranteed 0.5V operation down to VCC = 0.5V.
Technical Context
The LTC2909CTS8-2.5#TRPBF implements two independent 0.5V-threshold comparators with pin-selectable polarity (SEL = VCC/GND/OPEN), enabling simultaneous monitoring of positive UV/OV, negative UV/OV, or mixed-polarity supplies. Its third fixed UVLO channel monitors VCC at 2.213V (11.5% below 2.5V) with identical ±1.5% accuracy.
Reset assertion is synchronized across all inputs: RST remains low until VCC exceeds UVLO, both ADJ inputs are valid per configured polarity, and the selected timeout (internal 200ms, external capacitor, or disabled) completes. Glitch filtering on ADJ inputs rejects transients <500ns without hysteresis degradation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC UVLO Threshold | 2.213V (nominal), ±1.5% over –40°C to 85°C - ensures accurate 2.5V system supply monitoring |
| ADJ Input Threshold | 0.500V ±0.0075V - enables precise trip-point setting for custom supply voltages via resistor dividers |
| Quiescent Current | 50μA typical - supports battery-backed or ultra-low-power monitoring applications |
| Reset Timeout Options | Internal 200ms, external capacitor (9ms/nF), or disabled (comparator mode) - eliminates need for external timing components |
| Buffered Reference | 1.000V ±15mV, ±1mA drive - provides stable offset for negative-supply monitoring circuits |
| Operating VCC Range | 0.5V to 6V - guarantees RST pull-down functionality even during brownout conditions |
| Input Polarity Control | Three-state SEL pin (VCC/OPEN/GND) - configures ADJ1/ADJ2 as +UV/–OV, +UV/+UV, or –UV/–OV without external logic |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead TSOT-23 (3mm × 1.75mm), RoHS-compliant, lead-free (#TRPBF).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| ADJ1 (Pin 1) | Adjustable voltage input 1 | 0.5V threshold comparator input; polarity set by SEL - monitors positive or negative supplies |
| ADJ2 (Pin 2) | Adjustable voltage input 2 | 0.5V threshold comparator input; polarity set by SEL - enables dual-supply or window-monitoring configurations |
| REF (Pin 3) | Buffered 1V reference output | Stable offset source for negative-supply resistor dividers; drives up to 1mA load |
| GND (Pin 4) | Device ground reference | Common return path for all analog and digital circuitry; must be low-impedance |
| RST (Pin 5) | Open-drain inverted reset output | Asserts low on any fault condition; requires external pull-up; operates down to VCC = 0.5V |
| VCC (Pin 6) | Power supply input | Operates directly up to 6V; includes internal 6.5V shunt regulator for higher-voltage supplies |
| TMR (Pin 7) | Reset timeout control | Ground = 200ms internal timeout; VCC = comparator mode; capacitor to GND = programmable delay |
| SEL (Pin 8) | Input polarity select | Three-state logic (VCC/OPEN/GND) sets ADJ1/ADJ2 polarity combinations per Table 1 in datasheet |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Precision threshold accuracy | ±1.5% over full temperature range - eliminates need for calibration in production systems |
| Ultralow-voltage operation | Guaranteed RST assertion at VCC = 0.5V - ensures reliable reset during deep brownout |
| Glitch-immune comparator inputs | Integrated low-pass filtering rejects transients <500ns - prevents false resets from load noise |
| Configurable polarity per input | SEL pin selects three distinct ADJ1/ADJ2 polarity modes - supports mixed positive/negative supply monitoring |
| Space-constrained packaging | TSOT-23 footprint (3mm × 1.75mm) - fits high-density PCB layouts without sacrificing performance |
Applications
| Desktop Computer Core Voltage Monitoring | Automotive Engine Control Unit (ECU) Power Supervision |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-supply monitoring applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6816EUT+T | Single 2.5V UVLO channel only; no adjustable ADJ inputs or polarity selection | Suitable only for basic VCC supervision, not dual/mixed-supply monitoring | Select LTC2909CTS8-2.5#TRPBF when dual adjustable inputs or negative-rail support is required |
| TPS3808G125DBVR | Fixed 1.25V reset threshold; no buffered reference or polarity control; 1.8–6V VCC range | Designed for single-rail microprocessor reset, not multi-supply window or polarity-flexible monitoring | Choose LTC2909CTS8-2.5#TRPBF for applications needing 0.5V ADJ thresholds, REF output, or SEL-configurable polarity |
Compared with MAX6816EUT+T and TPS3808G125DBVR, the LTC2909CTS8-2.5#TRPBF uniquely supports dual independently configurable inputs, buffered 1V reference, and three-state polarity selection - making it the only option among the three for mixed positive/negative supply monitoring with ±1.5% accuracy.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed minimum operating voltage for LTC2909CTS8-2.5#TRPBF?
The LTC2909CTS8-2.5#TRPBF guarantees functional RST output down to VCC = 0.5V, with VOL ≤ 0.15V at IRST = 2500μA. This enables reliable reset assertion during deep brownout conditions where other supervisors fail, and is validated across the full –40°C to 85°C temperature range per the datasheet's VCC(MIN) specification.
How does the SEL pin configure input polarity on LTC2909CTS8-2.5#TRPBF?
The SEL pin on LTC2909CTS8-2.5#TRPBF selects one of three polarity modes: SEL = VCC sets both ADJ1 and ADJ2 for positive polarity (UV detection), SEL = GND sets both for negative polarity (UV detection), and SEL = OPEN configures ADJ1 positive and ADJ2 negative. This mapping is defined in Table 1 of the datasheet and requires no external components.
Can LTC2909CTS8-2.5#TRPBF monitor a single supply for both undervoltage and overvoltage?
Yes - LTC2909CTS8-2.5#TRPBF can monitor one supply for UV/OV using three resistors: connect ADJ1 to a divider tap for UV detection and ADJ2 to another tap for OV detection, with SEL = VCC. Example configurations for ±5% tolerance on 5V or –5V supplies are provided in Figures 3 and 4 of the datasheet.
What is the function of the REF pin on LTC2909CTS8-2.5#TRPBF?
The REF pin on LTC2909CTS8-2.5#TRPBF provides a buffered 1.000V ±15mV reference output capable of sourcing/sinking ±1mA. It serves as a stable offset for resistor dividers monitoring negative supplies (e.g., connecting ADJ1 to a –12V rail via RN1/RN2 referenced to REF), eliminating need for external references.
Does LTC2909CTS8-2.5#TRPBF require an external capacitor on the TMR pin?
No - LTC2909CTS8-2.5#TRPBF supports three timeout modes: tying TMR to GND enables a factory-trimmed 200ms internal timeout (no capacitor needed), connecting TMR to VCC disables timeout for comparator-mode operation, and adding a capacitor to GND provides programmable delay (9ms/nF). External capacitor is optional, not mandatory.
