Product details
Overview
LTC2911CDDB-4 from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a precision triple supply monitor IC with power-fail comparator, designed for systems requiring simultaneous monitoring of 3.3V, 1.2V, and an adjustable supply. It delivers ±1.5% threshold accuracy over 0°C to 70°C, 30µA typical quiescent current, and supports internal 200ms or external capacitor–programmable reset timeout. Used in industrial power sequencing and embedded control where reliable undervoltage detection is critical.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2911CDDB-4 datasheet, LTC2911CDDB-4 pinout, LTC2911CDDB-4 application, or LTC2911CDDB-4 equivalent, key selection criteria include its fixed 3.3V/1.2V dual-supply monitoring configuration, 0.5V ADJ threshold, PFI-based early power-fail warning, latch-enabled margin testing, and DFN-8 (3mm × 2mm) package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The LTC2911CDDB-4 integrates three independent voltage comparators: V1 monitors 3.3V at 3.086V (−6.5%), V2 monitors 1.2V at 1.122V (−6.5%), and ADJ monitors an external supply via resistive divider with 500mV nominal threshold. All comparators feature 1.5% accuracy across temperature and built-in glitch filtering for noise immunity.
Its power-fail function uses the PFI input (500mV falling / 515mV rising threshold) to drive PFO low before system supplies collapse, enabling controlled shutdown. The TMR pin supports three modes: internal 200ms timeout (TMR = V1), external RC timeout (TMR to GND), or latched RST state (TMR = GND), simplifying margin testing without hardware changes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| V1 Threshold | 3.086V (−6.5% of 3.3V); guarantees reset assertion before 3.3V rail drops below safe logic level |
| V2 Threshold | 1.122V (−6.5% of 1.2V); precise undervoltage detection for low-voltage digital cores |
| ADJ Threshold | 500mV ±7.5mV; enables configurable third supply monitoring via resistor divider |
| PFI Threshold | 500mV falling / 515mV rising; provides hysteresis for stable early-warning power-fail signaling |
| Quiescent Current | 30µA typical; minimizes loading on monitored supplies during normal operation |
| Reset Timeout | 200ms internal or 15–27ms external (CTMR = 2.2nF); ensures sufficient hold time for processor initialization |
| Operating Temp | 0°C to 70°C (Commercial grade); validated for stable performance in office and industrial ambient environments |
| Supply Range | V1/V2/ADJ/PFI: −0.3V to 6.5V; supports wide input flexibility and fault-tolerant design margins |
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 in compact, thermally constrained layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| PFI | Power-fail input | Monitors primary supply via resistive divider; triggers PFO low at 500mV falling edge for early warning |
| ADJ | Adjustable monitor input | High-impedance 500mV comparator input; sets third trip point using external resistor network |
| TMR | Reset timeout/latch control | Selects internal 200ms timeout (TMR = V1), external RC timing (TMR to GND), or RST latch (TMR = GND) |
| GND | Device ground reference | Common return path for all analog and digital circuitry; exposed pad enhances thermal dissipation |
| V2 | 1.2V supply monitor input | Dedicated −6.5% threshold (1.122V) for 1.2V rails; bypass with ≥0.1µF capacitor |
| V1 | 3.3V supply monitor input | Dedicated −6.5% threshold (3.086V); powers internal circuitry and provides pull-up for RST/PFO |
| PFO | Power-fail logic output | Open-drain output pulled up to V1; asserts low on PFI < 500mV to initiate controlled shutdown |
| RST | Reset logic output | Open-drain output pulled up to V1; asserts low if any monitored supply falls below threshold |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar triple-supply monitoring applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6314US29D3+T | Fixed 2.93V reset threshold; single-supply monitor only; no PFI or ADJ capability | Suitable only for basic 3.3V monitoring; lacks triple-input architecture and power-fail warning | Select only if system requires minimal BOM count and has no need for 1.2V or early-warning functions |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Single 3.3V supervisor; 200ms fixed timeout; no V2/ADJ/PFI inputs; higher 45µA quiescent current | Cannot monitor 1.2V rail or provide power-fail signaling; limited to simple reset generation | Choose when cost sensitivity outweighs multi-rail supervision needs and PFO functionality is unnecessary |

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for the V2 pin on the LTC2911CDDB-4?
The V2 pin on the LTC2911CDDB-4 has a guaranteed reset threshold of 1.122V (−6.5% of 1.2V) with ±1.5% accuracy over 0°C to 70°C. This value is fixed per the -4 variant and applies to all operating conditions - no external configuration is needed. The LTC2911CDDB-4 datasheet specifies min/max bounds of 1.104V to 1.140V across temperature and process variation.
Does the LTC2911CDDB-4 support external capacitor–programmed reset timeout?
Yes, the LTC2911CDDB-4 supports external reset timeout via a capacitor connected between the TMR pin and GND. With CTMR = 2.2nF, the timeout is 15–27ms (typical 20ms). The relationship is linear: CTMR ≈ tRST × 106.5 pF/ms. The LTC2911CDDB-4 also supports internal 200ms timeout when TMR is tied to V1, offering design flexibility without additional components.
How does the PFI input function in the LTC2911CDDB-4, and what voltage triggers PFO?
The PFI input on the LTC2911CDDB-4 monitors an external voltage (e.g., main DC/DC input or battery stack) through a resistive divider. PFO asserts low when PFI falls below 500mV (falling threshold) and deasserts when PFI rises above 515mV (rising threshold), providing 15mV hysteresis. This behavior is fixed and identical across all LTC2911 variants, including the LTC2911CDDB-4.
Can the LTC2911CDDB-4 monitor a 1.8V supply instead of the specified 1.2V on V2?
No - the LTC2911CDDB-4 is factory-configured for 1.2V on V2. To monitor 1.8V, the LTC2911CDDB-3 (marked LFPM → LFPJ) must be used. The -4 suffix explicitly denotes the 1.2V V2 option; changing the monitored voltage requires selecting the correct variant. The LTC2911CDDB-4's V2 comparator is trimmed to 1.122V and cannot be reconfigured.
What is the purpose of the ADJ pin on the LTC2911CDDB-4, and how is it used?
The ADJ pin on the LTC2911CDDB-4 is a high-impedance input with a 500mV nominal threshold, enabling monitoring of a third supply (e.g., 5V, 2.5V, or custom voltage) via an external resistive divider. For example, to monitor 5V, use R1 = 100kΩ and R2 = 768kΩ to set trip at 4.675V. The LTC2911CDDB-4's ADJ input draws only ±15nA, minimizing divider error and supporting accurate threshold setting.
