Product details
Overview
LTC2911HDDB-5 from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a precision triple supply monitor IC with power-fail comparator and reset latching capability. It monitors V1 (3.3V), V2 (adjustable, 0.5V threshold), and ADJ (adjustable, 0.5V threshold), features ±1.5% threshold accuracy over –40°C to +125°C, 30µA typical quiescent current, and internal 200ms reset timeout - used in automotive engine control units for reliable multi-rail power sequencing and brownout detection.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2911HDDB-5 datasheet, LTC2911HDDB-5 pinout, LTC2911HDDB-5 application, or LTC2911HDDB-5 equivalent, key selection factors include its H-grade automotive temperature range (–40°C to +125°C), DFN-8 (3mm × 2mm) package, dual adjustable monitoring inputs (V2 and ADJ), PFI-based early power-fail warning, and TMR-controlled latch mode for margin testing.
Technical Context
The LTC2911HDDB-5 implements three independent voltage comparators: one fixed 3.086V threshold on V1 (3.3V rail), and two high-impedance 0.5V-threshold inputs on V2 and ADJ-enabling flexible resistive-divider configuration for custom supply thresholds. Its internal VCC is derived solely from V1, unlike other variants that select between V1/V2.
It integrates a dedicated power-fail comparator (PFI → PFO) with 500mV falling / 515mV rising thresholds and 15mV typical hysteresis, plus a programmable reset timeout via TMR pin (internal 200ms or external capacitor). The latch feature allows RST state hold during voltage margining without requiring continuous input validity.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| V1 Threshold | 3.086V ±1.5% - guarantees reliable 3.3V rail undervoltage detection across full automotive temperature range |
| V2/ADJ Threshold | 500mV ±7.5mV - enables precise custom trip points via resistive dividers for any supply rail |
| Quiescent Current | 30µA typical - minimizes loading on monitored 3.3V supply (V1), critical for low-power automotive modules |
| PFI Hysteresis | 15mV typical - provides noise immunity for early-warning power-fail signaling without oscillation |
| Reset Timeout | 200ms internal - eliminates need for external timing capacitor in most automotive reset timing requirements |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive applications per AEC-Q100 stress test conditions |
| Supply Range | V1 = 0.5V to 6.5V - ensures RST/PFO remain functional down to ultralow VCC, preventing indeterminate logic states during power-up |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead (3mm × 2mm) plastic DFN with exposed pad (pin 9, GND). Compact footprint supports high-density automotive PCB layouts while enabling efficient thermal dissipation (θJA = 76°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (PFI) | Power-fail input | Accepts resistive-divider output; triggers PFO low when voltage falls below 500mV - used for early warning of main battery or DC/DC input collapse |
| 2 (ADJ) | Adjustable monitor input | High-Z 0.5V comparator input; configured with external divider to monitor third supply (e.g., 1.2V core rail) |
| 3 (TMR) | Reset timeout/latch control | Connect to V1 for 200ms internal timeout; pull to GND to latch RST state - essential for production margin testing |
| 4 (GND) | Device ground | Reference for all comparators and outputs; exposed pad must be connected to PCB ground plane for thermal and noise performance |
| 5 (RST) | Reset logic output | Open-drain, weak-pull-up-to-V1; asserts low if any monitored input drops below threshold - drives microcontroller reset pin directly |
| 6 (PFO) | Power-fail logic output | Open-drain, weak-pull-up-to-V1; asserts low on PFI threshold breach - connects to MCU NMI or PMIC fault input |
| 7 (V1) | 3.3V monitor & power source | Fixed 3.086V threshold input; supplies internal VCC - must be bypassed with ≥0.1µF capacitor for stability |
| 8 (V2) | Adjustable monitor input | High-Z 0.5V comparator input (identical to ADJ); enables dual adjustable rail monitoring - e.g., V2 for 5V IO, ADJ for 1.8V PHY |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Triple simultaneous monitoring | Monitors 3.3V (V1), plus two independently configurable rails (V2 and ADJ) - eliminates need for multiple discrete supervisors in multi-supply systems |
| ±1.5% threshold accuracy | Guaranteed over –40°C to +125°C - reduces system voltage margin requirements and prevents false resets in thermally stressed environments |
| Ultralow VCC operation | RST/PFO functional down to 0.5V VCC - ensures deterministic reset behavior during slow power ramp-up or brownout recovery |
| Configurable power-fail warning | PFI input with 500mV/515mV hysteresis - enables precise early-warning threshold setting for battery or input supply without external comparators |
| Reset latch for margin testing | TMR pin pulls RST into persistent state - allows controlled voltage reduction below trip point without triggering system reset during validation |
Applications
| Automotive Engine Control Unit (ECU) | Industrial PLC I/O Module |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Monitors 3.3V microcontroller core, 5V sensor interface, and 12V battery input via resistive dividers in an under-hood ECU.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar supply monitoring applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6369AUT+T | Single 3.3V monitor only; no V2/ADJ dual-adjustable inputs; 200ms fixed timeout; SO-8 package | Lacks triple-monitor capability and PFI power-fail warning - suitable only for basic 3.3V-only systems | Select only if design requires minimal BOM count and monitors only one rail; not a functional replacement for LTC2911HDDB-5's triple supervision. |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Single 3.3V supervisor; 200ms timeout; SOT-23-6; no PFI input or latch mode | No power-fail warning or adjustable second/third inputs - cannot replicate early-warning or margin-test functionality | Use only for cost-sensitive, single-rail applications where PFO and TMR features are unnecessary. |
Compared with MAX6369AUT+T and TPS3808G33DBVR, the LTC2911HDDB-5 uniquely delivers triple-rail monitoring, dual adjustable inputs (V2/ADJ), integrated PFI-based early power-fail signaling, and TMR-controlled latch mode - making it irreplaceable in automotive, industrial, and safety-critical systems requiring coordinated multi-supply supervision.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the LTC2911HDDB-5?
The LTC2911HDDB-5 is rated for –40°C to +125°C, qualifying it for under-hood automotive applications and industrial environments with extreme thermal cycling. This H-grade specification exceeds commercial (0°C to 70°C) and industrial (–40°C to 85°C) variants, and is validated per AEC-Q100 stress test conditions.
How does the LTC2911HDDB-5 differ from other LTC2911 variants like LTC2911-1 or LTC2911-2?
The LTC2911HDDB-5 uses the "-5" variant designation, meaning V2 is an adjustable 0.5V-threshold input (like ADJ), unlike LTC2911-1 (5V fixed) or LTC2911-2 (2.5V fixed). Combined with its H-grade temperature range and DFN-8 package, the LTC2911HDDB-5 supports dual adjustable rail monitoring in automotive systems where flexibility and ruggedness are required.
Can the LTC2911HDDB-5 monitor more than three voltage rails?
No - the LTC2911HDDB-5 monitors exactly three rails: V1 (fixed 3.3V), V2 (adjustable), and ADJ (adjustable). However, because both V2 and ADJ accept resistive dividers, it can supervise up to three *independent* supply voltages (e.g., 3.3V, 12V, and 5V) simultaneously. Additional rails require cascading or separate supervisors.
What is the purpose of the TMR pin on the LTC2911HDDB-5?
The TMR pin on the LTC2911HDDB-5 serves two functions: (1) connecting to V1 enables the internal 200ms reset timeout, eliminating external components; (2) pulling TMR to GND latches the current RST state - a critical feature for voltage margin testing without unintended system resets during validation.
Does the LTC2911HDDB-5 require external pull-up resistors on RST and PFO?
The LTC2911HDDB-5 provides weak internal pull-ups to V1 on both RST and PFO (typically 29µA at V1 = 3.3V), sufficient for driving CMOS inputs. External pull-ups are optional - used only when faster rise times or VOH > V1 are required. For standard microcontroller reset inputs, the internal pull-up is adequate and reduces BOM count.
