Product details
Overview
LTC2911HTS8-1 from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a precision triple supply monitor IC with integrated power-fail comparator and latched reset control, designed for automotive-grade systems. It monitors 3.3V (V1), 5V (V2), and an adjustable input (ADJ) with ±1.5% threshold accuracy over –40°C to +125°C, supports internal 200ms reset timeout, and operates down to 0.5V VCC. It is used in engine control units, ADAS domain controllers, and automotive infotainment power sequencing.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2911HTS8-1 datasheet, LTC2911HTS8-1 pinout, LTC2911HTS8-1 application, or LTC2911HTS8-1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its automotive temperature grade (–40°C to +125°C), guaranteed ultralow-voltage operation at VCC = 0.5V, ±1.5% threshold accuracy across temperature, and configurable PFI-based early power-fail warning with 500mV falling-edge threshold.
Technical Context
The LTC2911HTS8-1 implements three independent voltage comparators - one fixed 3.3V monitor (V1), one fixed 5V monitor (V2), and one adjustable 0.5V-threshold input (ADJ) - all sharing ±1.5% accuracy over full automotive temperature range. Its internal VCC is derived from the higher of V1 or V2, enabling robust operation during asymmetric supply ramp-up.
A dedicated power-fail comparator (PFI/PFO) provides early warning with 500mV falling threshold and 15mV hysteresis, while the TMR pin enables latch mode for margin testing or internal 200ms timeout selection. RST and PFO outputs feature weak pull-ups to V1 and support external pull-up for higher VOH.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| V1 Threshold | 3.086V nominal (3.3V – 6.5%), guaranteed 3.036V–3.135V over –40°C to +125°C - ensures reliable reset before 3.3V rail collapse |
| V2 Threshold | 4.675V nominal (5V – 6.5%), guaranteed 4.600V–4.750V over temperature - matches standard 5V supply tolerance band |
| ADJ Threshold | 500mV ±7.5mV (±1.5%) - enables precise resistive-divider configuration for custom supply monitoring |
| PFI Threshold | 500mV falling edge, 515mV rising edge (15mV hysteresis) - rejects noise while enabling accurate early power-fail detection |
| Reset Timeout | Internally fixed 200ms (TMR = V1) or externally programmable (9.4ms/nF) - eliminates need for external timing components in most automotive designs |
| Supply Current | 30µA typical at 25°C, ≤35µA over full temperature range - minimizes load on always-on battery rails |
| Min VCC | 0.5V guaranteed - ensures valid RST/PFO logic states during deep brown-out or cold-cranking conditions |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-Lead Plastic TSOT-23 (TS8), 3mm × 1.75mm footprint, exposed pad optional, rated for TJMAX = 150°C, θJA = 195°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| PFI | Power-fail input | Monitors system primary supply via resistive divider; asserts PFO low when voltage falls below 500mV |
| ADJ | Adjustable monitor input | 0.5V-threshold comparator for third supply; configured with external resistor 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 circuitry; exposed pad (if used) must be connected to GND |
| V2 | 5V supply monitor input | Fixed –6.5% undervoltage detector for 5V rail; also contributes to internal VCC generation |
| V1 | 3.3V supply monitor input | Fixed –6.5% undervoltage detector for 3.3V rail; primary source for RST/PFO pull-up current |
| PFO | Power-fail logic output | Open-drain output pulled low on PFI threshold breach; provides early warning interrupt signal |
| RST | Reset logic output | Open-drain reset signal asserted low if any monitored supply falls below threshold for timeout period |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automotive temperature grade | H-grade rating (–40°C to +125°C) with full parameter guarantee - qualified for under-hood and safety-critical ECUs |
| Triple simultaneous monitoring | Independent 3.3V, 5V, and adjustable thresholds enable single-chip supervision of multi-rail automotive power domains |
| Ultralow-voltage operation | Valid RST/PFO logic states down to VCC = 0.5V - prevents indeterminate reset behavior during cold-cranking or battery sag |
| Configurable power-fail warning | PFI input with 500mV/515mV thresholds and 15mV hysteresis allows precise early-warning setup for DC/DC inputs or battery stacks |
| Reset latch for margin testing | TMR pin latches RST state independently of input voltages - simplifies functional safety validation and voltage margining |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Single 3.3V monitor only; no V2/ADJ/PFI capability; 200ms fixed timeout; ±2.5% threshold accuracy | Cannot replace LTC2911HTS8-1 in triple-rail or power-fail warning roles; suitable only for basic 3.3V reset | Select only if design uses only one monitored rail and does not require automotive H-grade or PFI functionality |

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range guaranteed for the LTC2911HTS8-1?
The LTC2911HTS8-1 is specified for –40°C to +125°C (H-grade) with full electrical performance guaranteed across this range, including ±1.5% threshold accuracy, 200ms timeout, and 0.5V minimum VCC operation. This makes it suitable for under-hood automotive applications where ambient temperatures exceed +105°C.
How does the LTC2911HTS8-1 generate its internal supply voltage (VCC)?
The LTC2911HTS8-1 generates its internal VCC from the higher of the V1 (3.3V) or V2 (5V) supply inputs. This dual-input architecture ensures continuous operation even if one rail collapses, and enables valid RST/PFO output states down to 0.5V VCC, critical for cold-cranking scenarios.
Can the LTC2911HTS8-1 monitor a 12V supply directly?
No - the LTC2911HTS8-1 inputs (V1, V2, ADJ, PFI) have absolute maximum ratings of 6.5V. To monitor a 12V supply, use a resistive divider to scale it to ≤6.5V at the ADJ or PFI pin. For example, a 2.4MΩ/100kΩ divider reduces 12V to 0.48V at ADJ, enabling precise 12V undervoltage detection at 11.5V trip point.
What is the function of the TMR pin in latch mode, and how is it used in functional safety testing?
Pulling the TMR pin to GND latches the current RST state, overriding normal reset behavior. In functional safety testing, this allows engineers to force RST low or high while varying supply voltages - verifying system response to marginal conditions without unintended resets, supporting ASIL-B diagnostic coverage requirements.
Does the LTC2911HTS8-1 require external pull-up resistors on RST and PFO?
The LTC2911HTS8-1 provides internal weak pull-ups to V1 (typically 29µA at 3.3V), sufficient for most microcontroller reset inputs. However, external pull-ups are recommended when VOH > V1 is needed (e.g., interfacing to 5V logic) or faster rise times are required - especially in noisy automotive environments where signal integrity is critical.
