Product details
Overview
LTC2911ITS8-3 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), 1.8V (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. It is used in notebook computers and industrial embedded systems for reliable power sequencing and early brownout warning.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2911ITS8-3 datasheet, LTC2911ITS8-3 pinout, LTC2911ITS8-3 application, or LTC2911ITS8-3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its fixed 3.3V/1.8V dual-supply monitoring configuration, PFI-based power-fail detection with 500mV threshold, TMR-controlled latch mode for margin testing, and TSOT-23-8 package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The LTC2911ITS8-3 implements three independent voltage comparators: V1 (3.3V nominal, –6.5% trip = 3.086V), V2 (1.8V nominal, –6.5% trip = 1.683V), and ADJ (0.5V nominal threshold). All comparators feature 1.5% accuracy across temperature and built-in glitch filtering for noise immunity.
Its power-fail function uses a dedicated PFI input with 500mV falling-edge threshold and 15mV hysteresis, driving the open-drain PFO output. The TMR pin enables three operating modes: external capacitor timeout, internal 200ms timeout (TMR = V1), or latch mode (TMR = GND) to hold RST state during voltage margining.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| V1 Threshold | 3.086V (–6.5% of 3.3V); guaranteed 3.036V–3.135V over full temp range |
| V2 Threshold | 1.683V (–6.5% of 1.8V); applies only to LTC2911-3 variant confirmed for this part number |
| ADJ Threshold | 500mV ±7.5mV; enables resistive divider configuration for third supply monitoring |
| PFI Threshold | 500mV falling edge, 515mV rising edge; provides 3% hysteresis for robust power-fail detection |
| Reset Timeout | Internally fixed at 200ms (TMR tied to V1); eliminates need for external timing capacitor |
| Supply Current | 30µA typical; drawn from higher of V1 or V2, enabling operation during asymmetric power-up |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C (I-grade); qualified for industrial environments with no 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 system primary supply via resistive divider; asserts PFO low when voltage falls below 500mV |
| ADJ | Adjustable monitor input | 0.5V threshold comparator; used with resistor divider to set third supply trip point |
| TMR | Reset timeout/latch control | Tied to V1 → 200ms internal timeout; pulled to GND → latches RST state for margin testing |
| GND | Device ground reference | Common return for all analog and digital functions; exposed pad may be connected to GND for thermal relief |
| V2 | 1.8V supply monitor input | Fixed –6.5% undervoltage detector (1.683V trip); also contributes to internal VCC generation |
| V1 | 3.3V supply monitor input | Fixed –6.5% undervoltage detector (3.086V trip); primary VCC source and RST/PFO pull-up reference |
| PFO | Open-drain power-fail output | Asserts low on PFI under-voltage; weak internal pull-up to V1 (29µA typ); supports external pull-up to higher voltage |
| RST | Open-drain reset output | Asserts low if V1, V2, or ADJ falls below threshold; same pull-up structure as PFO; latchable via TMR |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Triple simultaneous monitoring | Independent 3.3V, 1.8V, and adjustable thresholds enable single-chip supervision of multi-rail systems |
| ±1.5% threshold accuracy | Reduces required system voltage margin by >1.5% vs. ±2.5% parts, improving reliability near supply limits |
| Power-fail comparator with hysteresis | 500mV/515mV thresholds provide noise-immune early warning before main supply collapse |
| Configurable reset timeout | Internal 200ms option eliminates timing capacitor, saving BOM cost and board area |
| Latch mode for margin testing | TMR pin pull-down holds RST state, enabling controlled voltage stress testing without spurious resets |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar supply monitoring applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6316US33D3+T | Single 3.3V reset only; no V2/ADJ monitoring or PFI functionality; SOT23-5 package | Suitable only for basic 3.3V-only systems; cannot replace triple-monitoring requirement | Select only if design requires minimal footprint and monitors only one rail |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Single 3.3V supervisor with adjustable delay; no secondary voltage inputs or PFI; 5-pin SOT23 | Lacks V2/ADJ comparators and power-fail warning; requires external circuitry for multi-rail monitoring | Choose when cost sensitivity outweighs need for integrated triple monitoring |

FAQ
What is the exact V2 supply threshold configured for LTC2911ITS8-3?
The LTC2911ITS8-3 is the LTC2911-3 variant, with a fixed V2 threshold of 1.683V (–6.5% of 1.8V). This value is guaranteed from 3.036V to 3.135V for V1 and 1.656V to 1.710V for V2 over the full –40°C to +85°C operating range, per the Electrical Characteristics table in the official datasheet.
Can LTC2911ITS8-3 monitor a 5V supply on the V2 pin?
No. The LTC2911ITS8-3 is specifically the LTC2911-3 variant, which configures V2 for 1.8V monitoring only. To monitor 5V on V2, the correct part is LTC2911ITS8-1. Using LTC2911ITS8-3 for 5V will result in premature reset assertion since its V2 comparator trips at 1.683V.
How does the TMR pin function in LTC2911ITS8-3 for reset timeout control?
In LTC2911ITS8-3, tying the TMR pin to V1 enables the internal 200ms reset timeout, eliminating the need for an external capacitor. Pulling TMR to GND latches the RST output state for margin testing. Leaving TMR floating results in ~400µs timeout, but this mode is not recommended for production use due to parasitic capacitance sensitivity.
What is the minimum operating voltage that guarantees proper RST and PFO operation in LTC2911ITS8-3?
The LTC2911ITS8-3 guarantees RST and PFO output functionality down to VCC = 0.5V, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table (VCC,OP = 2.3V min for PFO high, but outputs remain functional to 0.5V). This enables reliable reset assertion during deep brownout conditions before system logic fails.
Does LTC2911ITS8-3 require external pull-up resistors on RST and PFO pins?
The LTC2911ITS8-3 provides internal weak pull-ups to V1 (29µA typical), sufficient for most microcontroller reset inputs. However, external pull-ups are required if VOH > V1 is needed, or to achieve faster rise times in high-capacitance bus environments. The datasheet explicitly recommends external pull-ups for VOH voltages exceeding V1.
