Product details
Overview
LTC2911CTS8-1#TRMPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a precision triple supply monitor IC with integrated power-fail comparator and latched reset control, designed for reliable system supervision in space-constrained applications. It monitors 3.3V (V1), 5V (V2), and an adjustable input (ADJ) with ±1.5% threshold accuracy over –40°C to 85°C, supports internal 200ms reset timeout, and operates down to 0.5V VCC - enabling robust power sequencing in desktop computers and industrial controllers.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2911CTS8-1#TRMPBF datasheet, LTC2911CTS8-1#TRMPBF pinout, LTC2911CTS8-1#TRMPBF application, or LTC2911CTS8-1#TRMPBF equivalent, this page delivers verified functional identity, TSOT-23-8 package mapping, confirmed 3.086V/4.675V/0.5V thresholds, glitch-immune timing behavior, and two validated alternative parts for supply monitoring designs requiring tight voltage tolerance and early power-fail warning.
Technical Context
The LTC2911CTS8-1#TRMPBF implements three independent comparators: V1 (3.3V fixed), V2 (5V fixed per -1 variant), and ADJ (0.5V nominal threshold), all featuring ±1.5% accuracy across temperature and built-in input glitch filtering. Its internal VCC is derived from the higher of V1 or V2, enabling operation even when one supply is absent.
It integrates a dedicated PFI/PFO path with 500mV falling-edge threshold and 15mV hysteresis for early power-fail detection, plus TMR-controlled latch mode that holds RST low during margin testing - eliminating spurious resets without external logic or microcontroller intervention.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| V1 Threshold | 3.086V (–6.5% of 3.3V); guarantees reset assertion before 3.3V supply falls below system operational minimum. |
| V2 Threshold | 4.675V (–6.5% of 5V); precise trip point for 5V rail monitoring in multi-rail systems like network servers. |
| ADJ Threshold | 500mV ±7.5mV; enables configurable third-supply monitoring via resistive divider (e.g., 12V, 24V, or battery stack). |
| Reset Timeout | 200ms (internal); eliminates need for external timing capacitor in standard configurations, reducing BOM count. |
| Supply Current | 30µA typical at 25°C; enables always-on supervision in low-power embedded systems without significant load impact. |
| PFI Threshold Hysteresis | 15mV (3% of 500mV); prevents chatter on noisy power rails during brownout recovery. |
| Operating Temp Range | –40°C to +85°C (I-grade); qualified for industrial and automotive under-hood electronics environments. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead TSOT-23 (TS8), 3mm × 1.75mm footprint, lead-free (PBF), RoHS-compliant, thermal resistance θJA = 195°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| PFI | Power-fail input | Monitors external supply via resistive divider; asserts PFO low when voltage falls below 500mV (falling edge). |
| ADJ | Adjustable monitor input | Third comparator input with 0.5V threshold; used to supervise custom voltages (e.g., 12V via 24:1 divider). |
| TMR | Reset timeout/latch control | Connect to V1 for 200ms internal timeout; pull to GND to latch RST state for margin testing. |
| GND | Device ground reference | Common return for all analog and digital functions; exposed pad not present in TSOT-23 variant. |
| V2 | 5V supply monitor input | Dedicated 5V rail input for LTC2911-1 variant; threshold = 4.675V (–6.5%) with ±1.5% accuracy. |
| V1 | 3.3V supply monitor input & VCC source | Primary 3.3V rail monitor (3.086V threshold); supplies internal VCC when ≥ V2, and provides weak pull-up for RST/PFO. |
| PFO | Power-fail logic output | Open-drain output pulled low on PFI undervoltage; signals early warning (e.g., to MCU NMI) before system reset. |
| RST | Reset logic output | Open-drain reset output asserted low if any monitored supply (V1/V2/ADJ) falls below threshold for >200ms. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Triple simultaneous monitoring | Independent 3.3V, 5V, and adjustable inputs enable full-system rail supervision without external comparators or dividers. |
| ±1.5% threshold accuracy over temperature | Reduces required supply voltage margin by >1.5% vs. ±2.5% supervisors, improving system reliability at low VCC. |
| Configurable reset timeout | Internal 200ms option eliminates timing capacitor; external CTMR support allows 15ms–280ms range for design flexibility. |
| Power-fail comparator with hysteresis | 500mV/515mV thresholds provide noise-immune early warning of primary supply collapse before critical rail failure. |
| Reset latch mode | Pulling TMR to GND freezes RST state, enabling safe voltage margin testing without unintended system resets. |
Applications
| Desktop Computer Power Sequencing | Industrial PLC I/O Module Supervision |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar triple-supply monitoring applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6361KA29+T | Fixed 2.93V reset only; single-supply monitor with manual reset input; no PFI/PFO or adjustable input. | Lacks triple-monitoring, power-fail warning, and latch mode - suitable only for basic 3.3V-only systems. | Select only if design requires minimal feature set, lower cost, and no early-warning capability. |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Single 3.3V supervisor; 200ms fixed timeout; no V2/ADJ/PFI inputs; supports watchdog but no power-fail comparator. | Cannot replace triple-monitoring function; requires additional ICs to supervise 5V and auxiliary rails. | Choose only for cost-sensitive 3.3V-only applications where PFI and ADJ functionality are unnecessary. |
Compared with MAX6361KA29+T and TPS3808G33DBVR, the LTC2911CTS8-1#TRMPBF uniquely integrates three independent voltage monitors, a dedicated power-fail comparator with hysteresis, and latch-mode reset control in a single TSOT-23-8 package - eliminating board area, component count, and timing coordination overhead in multi-rail systems.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for V1 and V2 on the LTC2911CTS8-1#TRMPBF?
The LTC2911CTS8-1#TRMPBF has a V1 reset threshold of 3.086V (–6.5% of 3.3V) and a V2 threshold of 4.675V (–6.5% of 5V), both guaranteed within ±1.5% over –40°C to +85°C. These values are fixed for the -1 variant and documented in the Electrical Characteristics table under VRT33 and VRT50 parameters.
Does the LTC2911CTS8-1#TRMPBF require an external capacitor for reset timeout?
No - the LTC2911CTS8-1#TRMPBF supports an internal 200ms reset timeout when the TMR pin is tied to V1, eliminating the need for an external capacitor. An external capacitor (e.g., 2.2nF) is optional and used only when a different timeout (e.g., 20ms) is required per the tRST(EXT) specification.
Can the LTC2911CTS8-1#TRMPBF monitor a 12V supply?
Yes - the ADJ pin of the LTC2911CTS8-1#TRMPBF has a 0.5V nominal threshold and can monitor any voltage using a resistive divider. For a 12V supply, a 24:1 divider (e.g., 2.4MΩ/100kΩ) scales 12V to 0.5V at ADJ, enabling precise undervoltage detection at 11.3V (–6.5% trip point).
How does the PFI/PFO function work on the LTC2911CTS8-1#TRMPBF?
The PFI input of the LTC2911CTS8-1#TRMPBF compares an external voltage (scaled via resistor divider) to a 500mV falling-edge threshold. When PFI drops below 500mV, PFO pulls low to signal imminent power failure - providing early warning to a processor NMI or shutdown controller before RST asserts.
Is the LTC2911CTS8-1#TRMPBF pin-compatible with other LTC2911 variants?
No - the LTC2911CTS8-1#TRMPBF shares identical pinout and package (TSOT-23-8) with all LTC2911-x variants, but its V2 threshold is fixed at 5V. Substituting a -2 (2.5V) or -3 (1.8V) variant would cause incorrect 5V rail monitoring and must be avoided unless circuit redesign confirms compatibility.
