Product details
Overview
LTC2911HDDB-4 from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a precision triple supply monitor IC with power-fail comparator, designed for automotive-grade systems requiring high reliability across –40°C to 125°C. It monitors 3.3V (V1), 1.2V (V2), and an adjustable input (ADJ) with ±1.5% threshold accuracy over temperature, supports internal 200ms reset timeout, and delivers ultralow-voltage operation down to VCC = 0.5V - enabling robust power sequencing in engine control units and ADAS domain controllers.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2911HDDB-4 datasheet, LTC2911HDDB-4 pinout, LTC2911HDDB-4 application, or LTC2911HDDB-4 equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, exact pin functions, real-world timing behavior, confirmed automotive-grade thermal performance, and validated alternative options for supply monitoring in safety-critical embedded systems.
Technical Context
The LTC2911HDDB-4 implements three independent voltage comparators: V1 fixed at 3.086V (–6.5% of 3.3V), V2 fixed at 1.122V (–6.5% of 1.2V), and ADJ with 500mV nominal threshold. All comparators feature 1.5% total threshold accuracy over –40°C to 125°C and include glitch filtering for noise immunity.
Its PFI input enables configurable power-fail detection with 500mV falling-edge threshold and 15mV hysteresis; RST output asserts low when any monitored supply falls below its threshold and remains latched via TMR pin control - supporting margin testing without system reset.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| V1 Threshold | 3.086V ±1.5% - guarantees reliable 3.3V supply monitoring under worst-case automotive temperature and tolerance conditions |
| V2 Threshold | 1.122V ±1.5% - precisely tracks 1.2V rail with no external resistor required |
| ADJ Threshold | 500mV ±1.5% - enables accurate resistive-divider-based monitoring of any supply ≥0.55V |
| PFI Threshold | 500mV falling / 515mV rising - provides 3% hysteresis for stable early-warning power-fail signaling |
| Reset Timeout | 200ms internal (TMR tied to V1) - eliminates external capacitor while meeting automotive cold-start timing requirements |
| Supply Current | 30µA typical at 25°C - minimizes load on battery-backed or low-power domains |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive applications per AEC-Q100 stress test conditions |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-Lead (3mm × 2mm) Plastic DFN with exposed pad (pin 9 = GND). Thermal resistance θJA = 76°C/W enables operation in compact, thermally constrained automotive modules.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| PFI | Power-fail input | Accepts resistive divider output; triggers PFO low at 500mV falling edge for early warning of primary supply collapse |
| ADJ | Adjustable monitor input | High-impedance 500mV comparator input; used with external divider to monitor third supply (e.g., 1.8V, 2.5V, or custom rail) |
| TMR | Reset timeout/latch control | Tied to V1 → enables 200ms internal timeout; pulled to GND → latches RST state for margin testing |
| GND | Device ground | Reference for all analog inputs and digital outputs; exposed pad must be connected to PCB ground plane for thermal and noise performance |
| V2 | 1.2V supply monitor input | Fixed –6.5% threshold (1.122V); monitors 1.2V rail directly - no external components needed |
| V1 | 3.3V supply monitor input & power source | Fixed –6.5% threshold (3.086V); supplies internal VCC and drives RST/PFO pull-ups |
| PFO | Power-fail logic output | Open-drain output pulled low when PFI < 500mV; signals imminent power loss to MCU NMI or PMIC fault input |
| RST | Reset logic output | Open-drain reset output asserted low if V1, V2, or ADJ falls below threshold; holds valid state down to VCC = 0.5V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Triple simultaneous monitoring | Monitors 3.3V, 1.2V, and adjustable rail with independent comparators - eliminates need for multiple discrete supervisors |
| Automotive temperature grade | H-grade qualification (–40°C to +125°C) ensures functionality in engine control, transmission, and radar modules |
| Ultralow-voltage operation | RST and PFO remain functional with VCC as low as 0.5V - prevents indeterminate states during brownout or battery sag |
| Configurable power-fail warning | PFI input with 500mV/515mV thresholds enables precise early-warning signaling before critical supply collapse |
| Reset latch for margin testing | TMR pin allows RST state to be held indefinitely - simplifies voltage margining without triggering unintended resets |
Applications
| Engine Control Unit (ECU) | Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) |
|---|---|

Use Value: Meets ISO 26262 ASIL-C requirement for fail-safe torque reduction by decoupling power-fail warning from reset timing. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar triple-supply monitoring applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6369HUT+T | Fixed 3.3V/2.5V/1.2V thresholds; no ADJ input; 140ms fixed timeout; ±2.5% threshold accuracy | Lacks adjustable third input and programmable timeout - unsuitable for custom rail monitoring or extended timing needs | Choose only if system uses exactly 3.3V/2.5V/1.2V rails and requires lower cost, not higher accuracy or flexibility |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Single 3.3V monitor; no V2/ADJ inputs; 200ms timeout; ±0.5% threshold accuracy; SOT-23-6 package | Requires two additional ICs to match LTC2911HDDB-4's triple-monitor function - increases BOM count and layout area | Select when only 3.3V supervision is needed and ultra-high threshold accuracy outweighs integration benefits |
Compared with MAX6369HUT+T and TPS3808G33DBVR, the LTC2911HDDB-4 uniquely combines automotive-grade triple monitoring, adjustable third input, 200ms internal timeout, and ±1.5% accuracy in a single 3mm×2mm DFN - reducing component count, PCB space, and qualification effort for ASIL-B/C systems.

FAQ
What is the exact V2 threshold voltage for LTC2911HDDB-4?
The LTC2911HDDB-4 has a fixed V2 threshold of 1.122V (–6.5% of 1.2V) with ±1.5% accuracy over –40°C to +125°C. This value is specified in the Electrical Characteristics table under VRT12 parameter and applies exclusively to the -4 variant, confirming precise 1.2V rail monitoring without calibration or external components.
Does LTC2911HDDB-4 support internal reset timeout without external components?
Yes. The LTC2911HDDB-4 supports an internally generated 200ms reset timeout period when the TMR pin is tied to V1. This eliminates the need for an external timing capacitor and is explicitly documented in the datasheet's tRST(INT) specification and Pin Functions section - making it ideal for space-constrained automotive modules.
How does the PFI input function in LTC2911HDDB-4, and what is its threshold?
The PFI input in LTC2911HDDB-4 provides early power-fail warning with a 500mV falling-edge threshold and 515mV rising-edge threshold, delivering 15mV hysteresis. It accepts a resistive divider from the primary supply (e.g., 12V battery) and pulls PFO low when the divided voltage drops below 500mV - enabling controlled shutdown before critical rail collapse.
Is LTC2911HDDB-4 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes. The "H" suffix in LTC2911HDDB-4 denotes the automotive temperature grade (–40°C to +125°C), and the device is manufactured and tested per AEC-Q100 requirements. Its DFN package, thermal performance (θJA = 76°C/W), and guaranteed parametric performance across temperature confirm suitability for under-hood and safety-critical automotive use.
Can LTC2911HDDB-4 monitor a supply other than 1.2V on the V2 pin?
No. The LTC2911HDDB-4 is factory-configured for 1.2V monitoring on V2, with a fixed 1.122V threshold. Unlike the LTC2911-5 variant, V2 in the -4 version is not adjustable - it is a dedicated 1.2V comparator input. For adjustable V2, the LTC2911HDDB-5 would be required instead.
