Product details
Overview
LTC2910CDHC#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is an octal-input voltage supervisor IC designed for precise undervoltage monitoring of multiple positive and negative supply rails in complex power systems. It features eight 0.5V threshold inputs with ±1.5% accuracy over 0°C to 70°C, glitch-filtered reset outputs, adjustable timeout via external capacitor, and a buffered 1V reference. It is used in desktop/notebook computers and network servers for core/I/O rail supervision.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2910CDHC#PBF datasheet, LTC2910CDHC#PBF pinout, LTC2910CDHC#PBF application, or LTC2910CDHC#PBF equivalent, key selection considerations include input polarity configuration via SEL pin, VCC shunt regulation up to 6V, open-drain RST/RST timing behavior, and compatibility with 16-lead DFN (5mm × 3mm) layout constraints.
Technical Context
The LTC2910CDHC#PBF integrates eight independent comparators referenced to a precision 0.5V internal threshold, each with input leakage ≤±30nA and propagation delay of 50–500μs. Its three-state SEL pin selects polarity for V7/V8 inputs (positive/positive, positive/negative, or negative/negative), enabling mixed-rail monitoring without external components.
Reset assertion is controlled by a programmable timer (6–14ms with 1nF on TMR) and includes UVLO activation below VCC = 1.9–2.1V. The device operates from 2.3V to 6V supply or higher via internal 6.2–7.0V shunt regulator, drawing only 50–100μA quiescent current while guaranteeing RST/RST functionality down to VCC = 1V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Threshold | 0.5V nominal per channel, ±1.5% accuracy over full temperature range - ensures reliable trip points for 12V/5V/3.3V/2.5V/1.8V/1.2V rails with 10% tolerance. |
| Supply Range | 2.3V to 6V direct operation; >6V supported via internal 6.5V shunt regulator - eliminates need for external LDO when deriving from higher-voltage sources like 12V or 48V. |
| Quiescent Current | 50μA typical at 2.3–6V - enables use in always-on power domains without compromising system standby efficiency. |
| Reset Timeout | Adjustable 6–14ms via external capacitor on TMR pin (e.g., 8.5ms with 1nF) - provides configurable reset pulse width for processor boot sequencing and power-rail settling. |
| Reference Output | 1.000V buffered REF output, ±1.5mV accuracy, ±1mA drive - supplies stable offset for negative-supply monitoring circuits without loading error. |
| Output Type | Open-drain RST (active-low) and RST (active-high), guaranteed operation down to VCC = 1V - supports wired-OR reset buses and low-voltage brownout detection. |
| Package | 16-lead DFN (5mm × 3mm), exposed pad optional - compact footprint suitable for space-constrained server motherboard and embedded computing layouts. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 16-lead plastic DFN (5mm × 3mm), exposed pad (Pin 17) optionally connected to PCB ground.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| V1–V6 (Pins 1–6) | Positive-supply monitor inputs | Each compares monitored voltage to 0.5V threshold; assert reset if input falls below threshold - used for 12V, 5V, 3.3V, 2.5V, 1.8V, 1.2V rails. |
| V7, V8 (Pins 7–8) | Polarity-configurable monitor inputs | SEL pin determines whether input monitors positive (Vn < 0.5V) or negative (Vn > 0.5V) supply - enables dual negative rail monitoring (e.g., –5V, –3.3V). |
| VCC (Pin 16) | Power supply input | Operates as direct supply (2.3–6V) or shunt-regulated input (>6V); guarantees RST/RST function down to 1V - supports wide-input power architectures. |
| RST, RST (Pins 11–12) | Complementary open-drain reset outputs | RST pulls low on fault; RST pulls high; both held for adjustable timeout after recovery - interfaces directly with microprocessor reset inputs and FPGA configuration logic. |
| TMR (Pin 15) | Reset timeout timing control | Capacitor-to-ground sets delay (9ms/nF); tied to VCC to bypass - allows precise reset hold time tuning without firmware involvement. |
| DIS (Pin 13) | Reset output disable | Pulling high disables RST/RST assertion except during VCC UVLO - enables software-controlled reset inhibition during system debug or maintenance. |
| SEL (Pin 14) | Input polarity select | Three-state (GND/VCC/open) configures V7/V8 polarity combinations - eliminates external resistors or jumpers for mixed positive/negative monitoring. |
| REF (Pin 10) | Buffered 1V reference output | Sources/sinks ±1mA; drives ≤1nF capacitive load - provides accurate bias for negative-rail resistor dividers without external op-amp. |
| GND (Pin 9) | Device ground reference | Common return for all analog and digital circuitry; exposed pad may be connected to enhance thermal performance - critical for noise immunity in multi-rail systems. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Octal monitoring with ±1.5% threshold accuracy | Enables simultaneous supervision of 8 distinct rails (e.g., 12V, dual 5V, dual 3.3V, 2.5V, 1.8V, 1.2V) without calibration drift across temperature. |
| Configurable polarity for two inputs via SEL pin | Supports monitoring of up to two negative supplies (e.g., –5V, –3.3V) alongside six positive rails using single IC - reduces BOM count vs. discrete solutions. |
| Glitch-filtered comparator outputs | Integrates transient rejection at input stage to prevent false resets from noise or ripple - eliminates need for external RC filters on each rail. |
| Adjustable reset timeout with disable option | External capacitor sets delay (6–14ms); DIS pin allows hardware-level reset suppression - meets processor-specific reset timing requirements and debug workflows. |
| 1V buffered reference with ±1.5mV accuracy | Provides stable, low-impedance bias for negative-monitoring resistor networks - ensures consistent trip points regardless of REF load variation. |
| Operation down to VCC = 1V with guaranteed RST/RST | Ensures reliable brownout detection and controlled shutdown even during deep undervoltage events - critical for data integrity in storage and networking applications. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage monitoring applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC2914 | Quad UV/OV monitor with two negative inputs; separate VCC pin; adjustable reset timer; same DFN/SSOP packages. | Supports overvoltage detection on all four inputs - suitable where OV protection is required alongside UV, unlike LTC2910CDHC#PBF's UV-only function. | Select LTC2914 when dual-rail OV monitoring (e.g., 12V, 5V) is mandatory; LTC2910CDHC#PBF remains optimal for pure octal UV monitoring with tighter threshold accuracy. |
| LTC2908 | Six-supply monitor (four fixed, two adjustable thresholds); 8-lead SOT-23 package; no negative monitoring capability; lower pin count. | Lacks polarity-select feature and REF output - cannot monitor negative supplies or support precision negative-rail divider networks. | Choose LTC2908 for space-constrained designs needing fewer rails and no negative monitoring; LTC2910CDHC#PBF is preferred for full 8-rail coverage with mixed polarity support. |
Compared with LTC2914 and LTC2908, the LTC2910CDHC#PBF uniquely delivers eight UV inputs with ±1.5% threshold accuracy, integrated 1V REF, and SEL-configurable polarity - making it the only option for high-density, mixed-polarity rail supervision without external components.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the LTC2910CDHC#PBF?
The LTC2910CDHC#PBF is rated for 0°C to 70°C ambient operation, as indicated by the 'C' grade suffix. This commercial-grade specification ensures stable performance in desktop, notebook, and non-extended-temperature server environments where ambient conditions remain within standard office or data center ranges. The device maintains ±1.5% threshold accuracy across this full range.
How does the SEL pin configure polarity for V7 and V8 on the LTC2910CDHC#PBF?
The SEL pin on the LTC2910CDHC#PBF is a three-state input: tied to GND configures both V7 and V8 for negative-supply monitoring (reset asserted when voltage exceeds 0.5V); tied to VCC configures both for positive-supply monitoring (reset asserted when voltage falls below 0.5V); left open configures V7 positive and V8 negative. This eliminates external components for mixed-rail setups.
Can the LTC2910CDHC#PBF monitor a 48V input supply directly?
Yes - the LTC2910CDHC#PBF incorporates an internal 6.2–7.0V shunt regulator on the VCC pin. When powered from 48V, a series current-limiting resistor (e.g., 8.25kΩ for ~10mA max) is required to drop excess voltage and keep power dissipation within limits. The device then regulates its own supply and draws only 50–100μA quiescent current.
What is the minimum VCC voltage required for the LTC2910CDHC#PBF to assert valid reset outputs?
The LTC2910CDHC#PBF guarantees functional RST and RST outputs down to VCC = 1V, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. Below 1.9–2.1V, the device enters undervoltage lockout (UVLO) mode and asserts RST low/RST high independently of input voltages - enabling reliable brownout detection even during severe supply collapse.
Does the LTC2910CDHC#PBF support overvoltage monitoring?
No - the LTC2910CDHC#PBF is designed exclusively for undervoltage (UV) monitoring on all eight inputs. Each comparator triggers reset when its input falls below (for positive rails) or rises above (for negative rails) the 0.5V threshold. For combined UV/OV monitoring, consider the pin-compatible LTC2914, which supports both functions on four inputs.
