Product details
Overview
LTC2911CDDB-2 from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a precision triple supply monitor IC with integrated power-fail comparator and latched reset functionality. It monitors 3.3V (V1), 2.5V (V2), and an adjustable input (ADJ) with ±1.5% threshold accuracy over 0°C to 70°C, supports internal 200ms reset timeout, and operates down to 0.5V VCC. It is used in desktop computers and industrial power management systems for reliable system initialization and early brownout warning.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2911CDDB-2 datasheet, LTC2911CDDB-2 pinout, LTC2911CDDB-2 application, or LTC2911CDDB-2 equivalent, key selection criteria include its fixed 3.3V/2.5V dual-supply monitoring capability, PFI-configurable power-fail threshold, TMR latch for margin testing, low 30µA quiescent current, and DFN-8 (3mm × 2mm) package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The LTC2911CDDB-2 implements three independent voltage comparators: one fixed 3.3V monitor (V1), one fixed 2.5V monitor (V2), and one adjustable 0.5V-threshold comparator (ADJ), all with guaranteed ±1.5% accuracy across temperature. Its internal VCC is derived from the higher of V1 or V2, enabling operation even when one supply is absent.
A dedicated power-fail comparator monitors the PFI input with 500mV falling-edge threshold and 15mV hysteresis, driving the open-drain PFO output for early warning. The TMR pin supports three modes: external capacitor timing, internal 200ms timeout (TMR = V1), or latch mode (TMR = GND) to hold RST state during voltage margining.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| V1 Threshold | 3.086V nominal (3.3V − 6.5%), ±1.5% accuracy ensures reliable 3.3V rail supervision without false resets under full temp range. |
| V2 Threshold | 2.338V nominal (2.5V − 6.5%), ±1.5% accuracy enables precise 2.5V supply monitoring for logic or analog subsystems. |
| ADJ Threshold | 500mV ±7.5mV, allows resistive divider configuration of third supply threshold (e.g., 1.2V, 1.8V, or custom rails). |
| PFI Threshold | 500mV falling edge / 515mV rising edge, 3% hysteresis prevents chatter during slow supply decay near failure point. |
| Reset Timeout | Internally fixed 200ms (TMR = V1) or externally programmable (9.4ms/nF), defines minimum valid-supply duration before RST deassertion. |
| Quiescent Current | 30µA typical at 25°C, drawn from higher of V1/V2, minimizes loading on monitored supplies in battery-backed or low-power systems. |
| Operating Temp | 0°C to 70°C (Commercial grade), validated for stable performance in desktop PCs, network infrastructure, and industrial control panels. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead (3mm × 2mm) plastic DFN with exposed pad (pin 9, optional GND connection). Thermal resistance θJA = 76°C/W enables reliable operation at full rated load without forced airflow.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| PIN 1 (PFI) | Power-fail input | Accepts resistive-divider-scaled voltage; asserts PFO low when falling below 500mV - used for early warning of primary supply collapse. |
| PIN 2 (ADJ) | Adjustable monitor input | 0.5V threshold comparator input; configured via resistor divider to supervise third supply (e.g., 1.2V, 1.8V, or custom rail). |
| PIN 3 (TMR) | Reset timeout/latch control | Configures reset timing mode: open = ~400µs min, V1 = 200ms internal, GND = latch RST state for margin testing. |
| PIN 4 (GND) | Device ground reference | Primary return path for all comparators and outputs; exposed pad (pin 9) must be connected to PCB GND for thermal and electrical integrity. |
| PIN 5 (RST) | Reset logic output | Open-drain output pulled low when any monitored supply (V1/V2/ADJ) falls below threshold; weak internal pull-up to V1 (~29µA). |
| PIN 6 (PFO) | Power-fail logic output | Open-drain output pulled low when PFI < 500mV; provides early warning signal for controlled shutdown before main reset triggers. |
| PIN 7 (V1) | 3.3V supply monitor & power source | Monitors 3.3V rail at −6.5% threshold (3.086V); also supplies internal VCC when ≥ V2, requiring 0.1µF bypass capacitor. |
| PIN 8 (V2) | 2.5V supply monitor & power source | Monitors 2.5V rail at −6.5% threshold (2.338V); contributes to VCC generation when > V1, requires 0.1µF bypass capacitor. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Triple simultaneous monitoring | Independent 3.3V, 2.5V, and adjustable thresholds enable single-chip supervision of multi-rail systems without external comparators. |
| ±1.5% threshold accuracy | Guaranteed over 0°C–70°C eliminates need for design margin beyond supply tolerance - reduces risk of false resets or late triggering. |
| Configurable power-fail warning | PFI input with 500mV threshold and 15mV hysteresis allows precise early detection of input supply collapse before critical rails fail. |
| Reset latch for margin testing | TMR pin pulled to GND holds RST in current state, enabling safe voltage stress testing without unintended system reset during validation. |
| Ultralow operating voltage | RST/PFO outputs remain functional down to VCC = 0.5V, ensuring deterministic behavior during power-up/power-down sequencing. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar triple-supply monitoring applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6326–25 | Fixed 3.3V/2.5V monitoring, no ADJ input; 200ms fixed timeout; ±2.5% threshold accuracy; SOT23-6 package. | Lacks third adjustable monitor and PFI power-fail warning; suitable only for dual-rail systems without early-warning requirement. | Select when board space is extremely constrained and only two rails require supervision; not suitable for designs needing PFO or ADJ flexibility. |
| TPS3808G33 | Single 3.3V supervisor; no V2/ADJ/PFI; adjustable timeout (1ms–10s); ±0.5% threshold accuracy; SOT23-6. | Cannot monitor multiple rails simultaneously; lacks power-fail comparator; requires additional ICs for multi-rail coverage. | Choose only for simple 3.3V-only systems where highest threshold accuracy is critical and cost-per-rail is prioritized over integration. |

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for V1 and V2 on the LTC2911CDDB-2?
The LTC2911CDDB-2 has a V1 reset threshold of 3.086V (3.3V − 6.5%) and a V2 reset threshold of 2.338V (2.5V − 6.5%), both guaranteed within ±1.5% over the full 0°C to 70°C operating range. These values are fixed per the -2 variant and do not require external configuration. The LTC2911CDDB-2 datasheet specifies VRT33 = 3.036V to 3.135V and VRT25 = 2.300V to 2.375V as the min/max bounds.
Can the LTC2911CDDB-2 monitor a 1.2V supply as its third input?
Yes, the LTC2911CDDB-2 can monitor a 1.2V supply using the ADJ pin with an external resistor divider. The ADJ input has a fixed 500mV threshold, so a divider with R1 = 100kΩ and R2 = 140kΩ (standard 1%) sets the trip point at approximately 1.2V. The LTC2911CDDB-2's ±1.5% ADJ threshold accuracy and low input bias current (<40nA) ensure stable operation with such configurations.
How does the PFI input on the LTC2911CDDB-2 differ from the ADJ input?
The PFI input on the LTC2911CDDB-2 is dedicated to power-fail detection with a 500mV falling-edge threshold and 15mV hysteresis, optimized for early warning of supply collapse. The ADJ input is a general-purpose 0.5V threshold comparator for configuring a third supply monitor. While both accept resistive dividers, PFI includes built-in hysteresis and propagation delay filtering (8–80µs) not present on ADJ, making it unsuitable for precise rail monitoring but ideal for predictive failure signaling.
What happens to the RST output of the LTC2911CDDB-2 when V1 drops to 0.5V during power-down?
The LTC2911CDDB-2 guarantees RST output functionality down to VCC = 0.5V, and since VCC is derived from the higher of V1 or V2, RST remains asserted low (valid logic state) even as V1 collapses to 0.5V. This ensures deterministic reset behavior during deep brownouts. The LTC2911CDDB-2's proprietary low-voltage drive circuitry maintains output integrity far below typical supervisor operating limits.
Is the LTC2911CDDB-2 pin-compatible with other variants like LTC2911CDDB-3 or LTC2911CDDB-5?
No, the LTC2911CDDB-2 is not pin-compatible with LTC2911CDDB-3 or LTC2911CDDB-5 in terms of V2 functionality. While all share identical DFN-8 pinout and power/ground connections, the V2 pin behavior differs: LTC2911CDDB-2 monitors 2.5V, LTC2911CDDB-3 monitors 1.8V, and LTC2911CDDB-5 configures V2 as a second adjustable input. Swapping variants without updating the schematic will result in incorrect V2 threshold interpretation and potential system malfunction.
