Product details
Overview
LTC2911CTS8-3#TRMPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a precision triple supply monitor IC with integrated power-fail comparator and latched reset control. It monitors 3.3V (V1), 1.2V (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 for reliable power-up sequencing in embedded power management systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2911CTS8-3#TRMPBF datasheet, LTC2911CTS8-3#TRMPBF pinout, LTC2911CTS8-3#TRMPBF application, or LTC2911CTS8-3#TRMPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its fixed 3.3V/1.2V dual-supply monitoring configuration, TSOT-23-8 package compatibility, PFI/PFO early-warning capability, and TMR latch support for margin testing - all critical for industrial and automotive power integrity validation.
Technical Context
The LTC2911CTS8-3#TRMPBF implements three independent voltage comparators: V1 (3.3V, –6.5% trip = 3.086V), V2 (1.2V, –6.5% trip = 1.122V), and ADJ (0.5V nominal threshold). Its internal VCC is derived from the higher of V1 or V2, enabling operation even during asymmetric supply ramp-up.
It integrates a dedicated power-fail comparator (PFI → PFO) with 500mV falling-edge threshold and 15mV hysteresis, plus a TMR-controlled latch function that holds RST low independently of input validity - enabling deterministic margin testing without system reset interference.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| V1 Threshold | 3.086V ±1.5% - guarantees reliable 3.3V supply undervoltage detection across full temperature range |
| V2 Threshold | 1.122V ±1.5% - precisely monitors 1.2V rails such as core logic or I/O supplies |
| ADJ Threshold | 500mV ±1.5% - enables configurable third supply monitoring via resistive divider |
| Reset Timeout | 200ms internal (TMR = V1) - eliminates external capacitor while ensuring sufficient hold-off for processor initialization |
| Supply Current | 30µA typical - minimizes loading on monitored supplies during active supervision |
| PFI Threshold | 500mV falling / 515mV rising - provides noise-immune early warning of primary supply collapse |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial and automotive under-hood environments |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead TSOT-23 (TS8), 3mm × 1.75mm footprint, exposed pad optional, θJA = 195°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| PFI | Power-fail input | Monitors primary supply via resistive divider; triggers PFO low at 500mV falling edge |
| ADJ | Adjustable monitor input | 0.5V threshold enables third supply monitoring (e.g., 1.8V, 2.5V) using external resistor network |
| TMR | Reset timeout/latch control | Tied to V1 for 200ms internal timeout; pulled to GND to latch RST state for margin testing |
| GND | Device ground reference | Common return for all comparators and outputs; exposed pad may be connected for thermal relief |
| V2 | 1.2V supply monitor input | Dedicated –6.5% threshold (1.122V) for precise 1.2V rail supervision |
| V1 | 3.3V supply monitor & VCC source | 3.3V –6.5% threshold (3.086V); powers internal circuitry when ≥ V2 |
| PFO | Power-fail open-drain output | Asserts low on PFI under-voltage; weak internal pull-up to V1 (29µA typical) |
| RST | Reset open-drain output | Asserts low if V1, V2, or ADJ falls below threshold; same pull-up behavior as PFO |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Triple simultaneous monitoring | Simultaneously supervises 3.3V, 1.2V, and adjustable supply - eliminates need for multiple discrete supervisors |
| ±1.5% threshold accuracy | Reduces required voltage margin by >2× vs. ±3% parts, enabling tighter system supply tolerances |
| Ultralow VCC operation | Guarantees RST/PFO logic-low assertion down to 0.5V VCC - prevents indeterminate states during brownout |
| Configurable reset timeout | Internal 200ms option saves board space and BOM cost vs. external RC timing networks |
| Glitch-immune comparators | Input filtering rejects transients <8µs at 10% overdrive - ensures robust operation in noisy industrial environments |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar triple-supply monitoring applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6369UTA+T | Fixed 3.3V/2.5V/1.2V thresholds; no ADJ input; 140ms fixed timeout; 1.6V min VCC | Lacks adjustable third monitor and ultralow 0.5V operation - unsuitable for deep-brownout detection | Select only if fixed thresholds match system rails and 0.5V VCC operation is unnecessary |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Single 3.3V supervisor; requires two additional ICs for triple monitoring; 200ms timeout; 0.8V min VCC | No PFI/PFO functionality or TMR latch - cannot replicate early-warning or margin-test capabilities | Use only in cost-sensitive designs where triple monitoring can be distributed across separate devices |
Compared with MAX6369UTA+T and TPS3808G33DBVR, the LTC2911CTS8-3#TRMPBF uniquely integrates triple monitoring, power-fail warning, and latch-enabled margin testing in one TSOT-23-8 package - reducing PCB area by >40% and enabling single-chip compliance with IEC 61508 functional safety diagnostics.

FAQ
What is the exact V2 threshold voltage for LTC2911CTS8-3#TRMPBF?
The LTC2911CTS8-3#TRMPBF has a fixed V2 threshold of 1.122V (1.2V – 6.5%), specified with ±1.5% accuracy over –40°C to +85°C. This value is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table for the LTC2911-4 variant, which matches the "-3" suffix in the part number designation per the Product Selection Guide.
Does LTC2911CTS8-3#TRMPBF support external reset timeout configuration?
Yes, LTC2911CTS8-3#TRMPBF supports both internal and external timeout modes. Connecting the TMR pin to V1 enables the factory-trimmed 200ms internal timeout. For custom delays, connect a capacitor from TMR to GND - CTMR = 106.5 pF/ms yields ~20ms per nanofarad, with 2.2nF producing ~20ms and 22nF yielding ~200ms.
Can LTC2911CTS8-3#TRMPBF monitor a 5V supply on the V2 pin?
No, LTC2911CTS8-3#TRMPBF is the -4 variant, configured exclusively for 1.2V on V2. The "-3" in the part number corresponds to the LTC2911-4 option per Linear's naming convention. To monitor 5V on V2, use LTC2911CTS8-1#TRMPBF (LTC2911-1 variant) instead.
What is the minimum operating voltage guarantee for RST/PFO assertion in LTC2911CTS8-3#TRMPBF?
LTC2911CTS8-3#TRMPBF guarantees RST and PFO will assert low with VCC as low as 0.5V - verified in Absolute Maximum Ratings and Applications Information sections. This ensures deterministic reset behavior during deep brownouts where other supervisors fail to respond.
How does the TMR pin enable margin testing in LTC2911CTS8-3#TRMPBF?
Pulling the TMR pin to GND latches the current RST state indefinitely, overriding normal comparator behavior. This allows engineers to force RST low during voltage margining tests (e.g., derating V1 to 3.0V) without triggering unintended system resets - a capability confirmed in the Pin Functions and Applications Information sections.
