Product details
Overview
LTC2910HGN#PBF from Analog Devices (acquired Linear Technology) is an octal positive/negative voltage monitor IC designed for multi-rail power supply supervision in high-reliability systems. It features eight 0.5V threshold inputs with ±1.5% accuracy over –40°C to +125°C, 50μA quiescent current, open-drain RST/RST outputs, and adjustable reset timeout via external capacitor. It is deployed in industrial servers and automotive control units requiring precise undervoltage detection across mixed-polarity rails.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2910HGN#PBF datasheet, LTC2910HGN#PBF pinout, LTC2910HGN#PBF application, or LTC2910HGN#PBF equivalent, key selection considerations include input polarity configuration via SEL pin, VCC shunt regulator operation above 6V, glitch-immune comparator response, and guaranteed RST/RST assertion down to VCC = 1V - all critical for robust power-on reset sequencing in harsh-temperature environments.
Technical Context
The LTC2910HGN#PBF integrates eight independent comparators referenced to a buffered 1V internal reference, enabling both positive- and negative-voltage monitoring through resistor-divider networks. Its three-state SEL pin selects polarity modes for V7/V8 inputs without external components, while DIS pin disables reset outputs except during VCC UVLO.
Reset timing is controlled by an external capacitor on TMR pin (e.g., 1nF → 8.5ms timeout), and internal glitch filtering ensures transient immunity without added hysteresis. The device operates as a direct supply input up to 6V or as a shunt regulator above 6V, with VCC UVLO at 2.0V (±0.1V) and 25mV hysteresis.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Threshold Voltage | 0.500V ±1.5% over –40°C to +125°C - enables accurate 10% tolerance rail monitoring (e.g., 5V → 4.5V trip) |
| Quiescent Current | 50μA typical - supports always-on supervision in battery-backed or low-power systems |
| Reset Timeout Range | 6–14ms with CTMR = 1nF - provides configurable hold time for power rail settling after fault clearance |
| VCC Operating Range | 2.3V to 6V direct supply; >6V requires series resistor - accommodates wide-input industrial supplies |
| Output Type | Open-drain RST (active-low) and RST (active-high) - supports wired-OR reset buses and level-shifting |
| Reference Output | 1.000V ±15mV buffered REF pin - supplies stable offset for negative-rail divider networks |
| UVLO Threshold | 2.0V ±0.1V with 25mV hysteresis - ensures clean system reset during brown-out conditions |
Pinout & Package
Package: 16-Lead Plastic SSOP (GN16), 5.8mm × 3.9mm body, 0.635mm pitch, exposed pad optional.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| V1–V6 (Pins 1–6) | Positive-only voltage inputs | Assert reset when voltage falls below 0.5V; tied to VCC if unused |
| V7, V8 (Pins 7–8) | Polarity-configurable inputs | SEL pin determines whether input monitors positive (Vn < 0.5V) or negative (Vn > 0.5V) rails |
| VCC (Pin 16) | Supply input / shunt regulator | Operates directly up to 6V; regulates at ~6.5V above 6V with external current-limiting resistor |
| RST, RST (Pins 11–12) | Complementary open-drain reset outputs | RST pulls low on fault; RST pulls high - enables flexible reset logic interfacing |
| REF (Pin 10) | Buffered 1V reference output | Sources/sinks ±1mA; drives ≤1nF capacitive loads - used for negative-monitoring offset |
| SEL (Pin 14) | Three-state polarity select | GND/VCC/open sets V7/V8 polarity per Table 1 - eliminates external logic for dual-mode monitoring |
| DIS (Pin 13) | Reset disable control | Pull high to inhibit RST/RST (except during VCC UVLO); internal 2μA pull-down allows open-circuit default |
| TMR (Pin 15) | Reset timeout capacitor connection | CTMR ≥10pF to GND sets delay (9ms/nF); tie to VCC to bypass timer |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Octal input monitoring with ±1.5% threshold accuracy | Enables simultaneous supervision of 8 rails (e.g., 12V, 5V×2, 3.3V×2, 2.5V, 1.8V, 1.2V) within tight tolerance bands |
| Pin-selectable polarity for two inputs | V7/V8 support both positive-undervoltage and negative-undervoltage detection using single SEL pin - reduces BOM count |
| Adjustable reset timeout with disable function | TMR capacitor sets delay (6–14ms); DIS pin allows software-controlled reset inhibition - supports safe firmware updates |
| Guaranteed operation down to VCC = 1V | RST/RST asserted even during deep brown-out - ensures fail-safe reset before logic corruption |
| Integrated 1V buffered reference | Stable REF output eliminates need for external precision reference in negative-rail monitoring circuits |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage monitoring applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC2914IGN#PBF | Quad UV/OV monitor with two negative inputs; separate VCC pin; 16-lead SSOP/DFN | Supports overvoltage detection on all inputs; no octal capability; higher channel density per package | Select when OV protection is required alongside UV, or when fewer rails (≤4) need supervision with tighter layout constraints |
| LTC2908CMS8E#PBF | Six-supply monitor (four fixed, two adjustable); 8-lead MSOP; 1.2μA IQ | No negative monitoring; lower quiescent current; fixed thresholds only for four inputs | Select for space-constrained designs monitoring ≤6 positive rails where ultra-low IQ outweighs octal count and polarity flexibility |
Compared with LTC2910HGN#PBF, LTC2914IGN#PBF adds overvoltage detection but reduces input count to four, while LTC2908CMS8E#PBF offers smaller footprint and lower IQ but lacks negative-rail support and octal coverage - making LTC2910HGN#PBF optimal for mixed-polarity, high-channel-count industrial supervision.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the LTC2910HGN#PBF?
The LTC2910HGN#PBF is rated for –40°C to +125°C ambient operation, matching the H-grade specification. This extended range is validated across all electrical parameters including ±1.5% threshold accuracy, 50μA quiescent current, and RST/RST output behavior - making LTC2910HGN#PBF suitable for under-hood automotive and industrial control applications where thermal stress is severe.
How does the SEL pin configure polarity for V7 and V8 on the LTC2910HGN#PBF?
The SEL pin on the LTC2910HGN#PBF is a three-state input: tied to VCC configures both V7 and V8 for positive-undervoltage monitoring (reset when Vn < 0.5V); left open configures V7 positive and V8 negative (reset when V8 > 0.5V); tied to GND configures both for negative monitoring (reset when Vn > 0.5V). This eliminates external logic and enables flexible rail assignment without redesigning the LTC2910HGN#PBF circuit board.
Can the LTC2910HGN#PBF monitor a 48V input supply?
Yes - the LTC2910HGN#PBF supports 48V input via its internal VCC shunt regulator. When VCC exceeds 6V, the pin regulates at ~6.5V; a series current-limiting resistor (e.g., 8.25kΩ for 48V) must be used to keep input current ≤10mA. This allows direct connection to high-voltage rails without external regulators, preserving the low-quiescent-current advantage of the LTC2910HGN#PBF.
What is the minimum VCC voltage required for valid reset output assertion on the LTC2910HGN#PBF?
The LTC2910HGN#PBF guarantees RST low and RST high assertion down to VCC = 1V, per datasheet specifications. Below 2.0V, the device enters undervoltage lockout (UVLO) mode and forces reset outputs regardless of input states - ensuring fail-safe behavior during brown-out. This VCC = 1V guarantee is unique to the LTC2910HGN#PBF among octal supervisors and critical for systems with weak hold-up capacitance.
Does the LTC2910HGN#PBF require external components for negative voltage monitoring?
The LTC2910HGN#PBF requires only two external resistors per negative rail (RA and RB) to form a divider referenced to the internal 1V buffered REF pin - no additional op-amps, references, or level-shifters are needed. The REF pin sources/sinks ±1mA and drives ≤1nF, enabling direct connection to standard resistor networks. This integrated REF capability is a core design feature of the LTC2910HGN#PBF that simplifies negative-supply supervision.
