Product details
Overview
LTC2911CTS8-4 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 –40°C to 85°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 LTC2911CTS8-4 datasheet, LTC2911CTS8-4 pinout, LTC2911CTS8-4 application, or LTC2911CTS8-4 equivalent, key selection criteria include its fixed 3.3V/1.2V dual-supply monitoring configuration, 0.5V ADJ input threshold, PFI-based early power-fail warning capability, and TSOT-23-8 package compatibility with margin testing via TMR latch.
Technical Context
The LTC2911CTS8-4 implements three independent voltage comparators: V1 monitors 3.3V (–6.5% trip = 3.086V), V2 monitors 1.2V (–6.5% trip = 1.122V), and ADJ monitors an externally configured supply via resistive divider with 500mV nominal threshold. All comparators feature 1.5% accuracy across temperature and integrated glitch filtering.
Its power-fail function uses the PFI input (500mV falling / 515mV rising threshold) to drive PFO low before main supply collapse, enabling controlled shutdown. The TMR pin supports three modes: external capacitor timing (9.4ms/nF), internal 200ms timeout (TMR tied to V1), or RST latching (TMR pulled to GND) for margin testing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| V1 Threshold | 3.086V (3.3V – 6.5%), guaranteed ±1.5% over –40°C to 85°C - ensures reliable 3.3V rail supervision without false resets |
| V2 Threshold | 1.122V (1.2V – 6.5%), ±1.5% accuracy - enables precise monitoring of low-voltage logic rails like 1.2V FPGA core supplies |
| ADJ Threshold | 500mV ±7.5mV - allows configurable third-supply monitoring using external resistor divider |
| PFI Threshold | 500mV falling / 515mV rising (3% hysteresis) - provides noise-immune early warning of primary supply decay |
| Reset Timeout | 200ms internal (TMR = V1) or 15–27ms with 2.2nF external capacitor - selectable delay prevents premature system boot |
| Quiescent Current | 30µA typical - minimizes loading on monitored supplies during normal operation |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to 85°C (I-grade) - suitable for industrial environments without derating |
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 for early warning |
| ADJ | Adjustable monitor input | 0.5V threshold input for third supply; requires external divider to set trip point |
| TMR | Reset timeout/latch control | Selects internal 200ms timer (tie to V1), external RC timing (cap to GND), or RST latch (pull to GND) |
| GND | Device ground reference | Return path for all internal comparators and output drivers; exposed pad may be connected |
| V2 | 1.2V supply monitor input | Dedicated 1.2V rail input with 1.122V trip point; high-impedance, low bias current (≤30µA) |
| V1 | 3.3V supply monitor input & VCC source | 3.3V rail input (3.086V trip); powers internal circuitry and provides weak pull-up for RST/PFO |
| PFO | Power-fail logic output | Open-drain output pulled low when PFI < 500mV; signals imminent supply failure to processor interrupt |
| RST | Reset logic output | Open-drain reset output asserted low if any monitored supply falls below threshold for timeout period |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Triple simultaneous monitoring | Independent V1 (3.3V), V2 (1.2V), and ADJ (adjustable) inputs eliminate need for multiple discrete supervisors |
| ±1.5% threshold accuracy | Reduces required system voltage margin by >1.5% vs. ±2.5% parts, improving reliability at low supply tolerances |
| Configurable power-fail warning | PFI input with 3% hysteresis enables robust early detection of primary supply decay before critical rails fail |
| Reset latch for margin testing | TMR pin latches RST state, allowing stable system operation during supply voltage stress testing |
| Low 30µA quiescent current | Minimizes impact on battery-backed or energy-constrained systems without sacrificing accuracy |

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 with manual reset input; no PFI or ADJ functionality | Only monitors one rail; lacks power-fail warning and adjustable third input | Use only when single-rail supervision suffices and PFI/ADJ features are unnecessary |

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for the V2 pin on the LTC2911CTS8-4?
The V2 pin on the LTC2911CTS8-4 has a nominal 1.2V supply monitor threshold of 1.122V (1.2V – 6.5%), with guaranteed ±1.5% accuracy over the full –40°C to 85°C operating range. This corresponds to a minimum threshold of 1.104V and maximum of 1.140V, ensuring robust detection of 1.2V rail undervoltage without false triggering due to tolerance stack-up.
Can the LTC2911CTS8-4 monitor a 1.8V supply instead of the specified 1.2V on V2?
No - the LTC2911CTS8-4 is factory-configured for 3.3V on V1 and 1.2V on V2. To monitor 1.8V, you must select the LTC2911CTS8-3 variant, which has a fixed 1.8V V2 threshold (1.683V trip). The -4 suffix denotes the 1.2V option; substituting it for 1.8V monitoring violates the device's specified electrical characteristics and voids accuracy guarantees.
How does the PFI input on the LTC2911CTS8-4 differ from the ADJ input?
The PFI input on the LTC2911CTS8-4 has a dedicated 500mV falling / 515mV rising threshold with 3% hysteresis for noise-immune power-fail detection, while the ADJ input has a fixed 500mV threshold (±7.5mV) with no hysteresis, intended for adjustable supply monitoring via resistive divider. PFI drives the PFO output directly; ADJ contributes to the RST assertion logic only.
What happens to the RST output of the LTC2911CTS8-4 when V1 drops below 0.5V?
The LTC2911CTS8-4 maintains valid RST output down to VCC = 0.5V - meaning RST remains logic-low even as V1 collapses to 0.5V, preventing indeterminate states during power-down. This ultralow-voltage reset capability is enabled by proprietary low-voltage drive circuitry and is guaranteed across temperature for reliable shutdown sequencing.
Is the TSOT-23-8 package of the LTC2911CTS8-4 compatible with standard 0.65mm pitch PCB footprints?
Yes - the LTC2911CTS8-4 in TSOT-23-8 (TS8) package uses a standard 0.65mm lead pitch and 3mm × 1.75mm body size, fully compatible with IPC-7351B SOIC-8 land patterns adapted for thin-outline packages. The exposed pad is optional and does not require solder connection unless thermal performance beyond θJA = 195°C/W is needed.
