Product details
Overview
LTC2910IDHC#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is an octal-input voltage supervisor IC designed for simultaneous monitoring of up to eight positive or negative supply rails in complex power systems. It features ±1.5% threshold accuracy over –40°C to +85°C, 50μA quiescent current, adjustable reset timeout (6–14ms), and open-drain RST/RST outputs. It is deployed in multi-rail server power supplies to ensure coordinated system reset upon any rail undervoltage.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2910IDHC#PBF datasheet, LTC2910IDHC#PBF pinout, LTC2910IDHC#PBF application, or LTC2910IDHC#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include input polarity configurability via SEL pin, buffered 1V reference output, glitch-immune comparator architecture, VCC shunt regulation up to 6V, and guaranteed operation down to VCC = 1V.
Technical Context
The LTC2910IDHC#PBF integrates eight independent comparators, each referenced to a precision 0.5V internal threshold with ±1.5% accuracy across temperature. Its three-state SEL pin selects polarity configurations for V7/V8 inputs-positive (UV detection), negative (UV detection when voltage exceeds 0.5V), or mixed-enabling flexible monitoring of both positive and negative rails without external components.
Reset assertion is controlled by a capacitor-programmable timer (TMR pin), supporting timeout periods from 6ms to >1s via CTMR selection. The device includes a 1V buffered reference (REF pin, ±1mA drive), VCC shunt regulator (6.2–7.0V), and UVLO circuit that guarantees RST/RST behavior down to VCC = 1V, ensuring robust power-up sequencing in low-voltage systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Count | 8 independent voltage monitor inputs (V1–V8), configurable for positive or negative rail monitoring |
| Threshold Accuracy | ±1.5% over –40°C to +85°C - ensures reliable trip points across industrial temperature range |
| Quiescent Current | 50μA typical - enables use in always-on supervisory circuits without significant power penalty |
| Reset Timeout Range | 6–14ms (CTMR = 1nF) - provides sufficient hold time for power rail stabilization after fault clearance |
| VCC Operating Range | 2.3V to 6V direct supply; >6V requires external series resistor due to internal 6.6V shunt regulator |
| Reference Output | 1.000V ±15mV buffered REF pin - supplies stable bias for negative-rail divider networks |
| Output Type | Open-drain RST (active-low) and RST (active-high) - supports wired-OR reset bus and level-shifting |
Pinout & Package
Package: 16-lead (5mm × 3mm) plastic DFN (DHC16), exposed pad (Pin 17) optional GND connection. Thermal resistance θJA = 43.5°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| V1–V6 (Pins 1–6) | Positive-supply monitor 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 UV condition occurs at V < 0.5V (positive) or V > 0.5V (negative) |
| VCC (Pin 16) | Supply input / shunt regulator | Operates as direct supply ≤6V; functions as 6.6V shunt above 6V with current-limiting resistor |
| RST (Pin 11) | Active-low open-drain reset | Pulls low after timeout when all inputs are valid; weak internal pull-up to VCC |
| RST (Pin 12) | Active-high open-drain reset | Pulls high during fault; weak internal pull-up to VCC; complements RST logic |
| REF (Pin 10) | Buffered 1V reference output | Sources/sinks ±1mA; drives ≤1nF capacitive load; used for negative-rail offset networks |
| SEL (Pin 14) | Three-state polarity select | Connect to VCC/GND/open to set V7/V8 polarity per Table 1 - no external components needed |
| TMR (Pin 15) | Reset timeout capacitor node | CTMR ≥10pF to GND sets delay; tie to VCC to bypass timer and assert immediate reset |
| DIS (Pin 13) | Reset disable control | Pull high to inhibit RST/RST assertion except during VCC UVLO; internal 2μA pull-down |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Octal input monitoring with polarity flexibility | Supports six fixed-positive + two programmable (V7/V8) inputs - eliminates need for multiple discrete supervisors |
| ±1.5% threshold accuracy over full temp range | Reduces design margin requirements for 10%-tolerant rails like 5V ±10% or 3.3V ±10% |
| Glitch-immune comparator architecture | Integrating low-pass filter on each input prevents false resets from transient noise without adding hysteresis error |
| Adjustable reset timeout with disable | Capacitor-programmable delay (6–14ms typical) plus DIS pin allows precise reset coordination and test-mode override |
| Guaranteed operation down to VCC = 1V | Enables reliable reset assertion during brown-out conditions where other supervisors fail |
Applications
| Server Power Sequencing | Industrial PLC I/O Voltage Monitoring |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage monitoring applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC2914HMS#PBF | Quad-input UV/OV monitor with two negative inputs; separate VCC pin; 16-lead MSOP package | Supports overvoltage detection on all inputs; lacks octal channel count and adjustable timeout | Select when OV monitoring is required alongside UV, and system uses only four critical rails |
| LTC2908CMS8#PBF | Six-input supervisor (four fixed, two adjustable); 8-lead SOT-23; no negative monitoring capability | Smaller footprint but limited to positive rails only; no REF output or SEL polarity control | Select for space-constrained designs with ≤6 positive rails and no negative supply monitoring need |

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC2910IDHC#PBF?
The LTC2910IDHC#PBF is rated for –40°C to +85°C industrial temperature operation. This is confirmed by the "I" grade suffix in the part number and specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table, where electrical characteristics marked with ● apply across this full range - including ±1.5% threshold accuracy, 50μA ICC, and 6–14ms tRST.
How does the SEL pin configure polarity for V7 and V8 on the LTC2910IDHC#PBF?
The SEL pin on the LTC2910IDHC#PBF is a three-state input: tied to VCC configures both V7 and V8 for positive monitoring (UV when V < 0.5V); tied to GND configures both for negative monitoring (UV when V > 0.5V); left open configures V7 positive and V8 negative. This mapping is defined in Table 1 of the datasheet and requires no external resistors.
Can the LTC2910IDHC#PBF monitor a 48V input rail?
Yes - the LTC2910IDHC#PBF can monitor a 48V rail using a resistive divider network. As shown in Typical Application TA05, a series dropping resistor (RZ = 8.25kΩ) limits VCC current when deriving power from 48V, while RA/RB dividers scale the 48V rail to ≤0.5V at V1. The internal VCC shunt regulator handles the 48V-to-6V conversion safely.
What is the minimum VCC voltage required for the LTC2910IDHC#PBF to assert valid reset signals?
The LTC2910IDHC#PBF guarantees RST low and RST high assertion down to VCC = 1V, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table under VCC(MIN). Below 2V, the device enters UVLO mode and asserts reset independently of input voltages - enabling reliable brown-out detection even during severe supply sag.
Does the LTC2910IDHC#PBF provide overvoltage (OV) detection capability?
No - the LTC2910IDHC#PBF is strictly an undervoltage (UV) monitor. All eight inputs trigger reset only when voltage falls below (positive rails) or rises above (negative rails) the 0.5V threshold. For combined UV/OV monitoring, Analog Devices recommends the LTC2914HMS#PBF, which supports both detection modes on all four inputs.
