Product details
Overview
LTC2912CTS8-3#TRMPBF from Analog Devices is a single-channel UV/OV voltage monitor IC in TSOT-23-8 package, designed for precise 3.3V ±10% supply supervision. It features ±1.5% threshold accuracy, 29µA quiescent current, open-drain UV and noninverting OV outputs, and adjustable reset timeout via external capacitor - deployed in desktop computers, network servers, and core voltage monitoring systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2912CTS8-3#TRMPBF datasheet, LTC2912CTS8-3#TRMPBF pinout, LTC2912CTS8-3#TRMPBF application, or LTC2912CTS8-3#TRMPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed operation down to VCC = 1V, glitch-immune VH/VL inputs, latch-controlled OV polarity, and compatibility with 12V/24V/48V supplies via internal shunt regulator.
Technical Context
The LTC2912CTS8-3#TRMPBF implements dual comparator architecture with independent VH (undervoltage sense) and VL (overvoltage sense) inputs, each filtered to reject sub-500µs transients. Its internal 6.2–7.3V shunt regulator enables direct connection to 12V/24V/48V rails when paired with a series current-limiting resistor.
Unlike LTC2912-1 (latched low OV) and LTC2912-2 (disable-enabled), the -3 variant provides noninverting OV output with latch-clear functionality on LATCH pin - asserting high during overvoltage and holding latched until LATCH is pulled high, while UV remains open-drain low-active with programmable timeout.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Range | 2.3V to 6V direct; up to 48V with external series resistor and internal 6.2–7.3V shunt regulation |
| UV/OV Threshold Accuracy | ±1.5% over full temperature range - ensures reliable 3.3V ±10% trip points (4.5V UV, 5.5V OV) without calibration |
| Quiescent Current | 29µA typical - enables micropower operation in battery-backed or always-on supervisory circuits |
| Reset Timeout Control | Adjustable via TMR pin capacitor (e.g., 1nF → 8.5ms); disable by tying TMR to VCC |
| Output Configuration | Open-drain UV (low-active); noninverting OV (high-active, latched); both with weak internal pull-up to VCC |
| Minimum Valid VCC | 1V - guarantees UV assertion and OV state definition even during brownout conditions |
| Input Glitch Immunity | 50–500µs rejection window - eliminates false triggering from ESD or switching noise without added hysteresis |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-Lead Plastic TSOT-23 (TS8), 3mm × 1.75mm footprint, exposed pad not present (TSOT-23 variant), θJA = 195°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| LATCH (Pin 1) | OV latch clear/bypass control | Pulling high clears OV latch and makes OV behave like UV (timeout-based); pulling low enables latched high OV output |
| UV (Pin 2) | Undervoltage logic output | Open-drain, active-low output asserted when VH input falls below threshold; held low for programmed timeout after recovery |
| OV (Pin 3) | Overvoltage logic output | Noninverting, active-high, latched output asserted when VL input exceeds threshold; cleared only by LATCH pin |
| GND (Pin 4) | Device ground reference | Primary return path for internal circuitry and TMR capacitor; must be low-impedance for accurate timing |
| TMR (Pin 5) | Reset timeout timer control | Connect external capacitor to GND to set timeout (9ms/nF); tie to VCC to bypass delay |
| VL (Pin 6) | Overvoltage sense input | Monitors low-side divider tap; triggers OV when voltage > 0.5V; tied to GND if unused |
| VH (Pin 7) | Undervoltage sense input | Monitors high-side divider tap; triggers UV when voltage < 0.5V; tied to VCC if unused |
| VCC (Pin 8) | Power supply input | Accepts 2.3–6V directly; regulates higher voltages (e.g., 12V/24V/48V) via internal shunt; requires 0.1µF bypass capacitor |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Single-supply UV/OV monitoring | Replaces discrete resistor-divider + comparator solutions with integrated, calibrated sensing and timing |
| Adjustable reset timeout | Capacitor-programmable delay (e.g., 200ms with 22nF) ensures sufficient system settling before release |
| Guaranteed operation at VCC ≥ 1V | Enables robust reset assertion during deep brownout, critical for safe power-down sequencing |
| Glitch-immune comparator inputs | Internal filtering rejects transients < 500µs - avoids false resets without compromising threshold accuracy |
| Noninverting latched OV output | Eliminates need for external inverter; simplifies wired-OR reset bus integration where high-active signaling is required |
Applications
| Desktop Computer Power Sequencing | Network Server Core Voltage Monitoring |

FAQ
What is the exact overvoltage and undervoltage threshold voltage for LTC2912CTS8-3#TRMPBF?
The LTC2912CTS8-3#TRMPBF has a nominal internal comparator threshold of 500mV, used with external resistor dividers to set system-level UV/OV points. For a 3.3V ±10% application, typical design yields 4.5V UV and 5.5V OV trip points. Threshold accuracy is ±1.5% over temperature, meaning actual trip points fall within ±1.5% of the calculated value - e.g., 4.5V UV may trigger between 4.433V and 4.567V.
How does the LATCH pin affect the OV output behavior of LTC2912CTS8-3#TRMPBF?
When LATCH is pulled low, the OV output of LTC2912CTS8-3#TRMPBF latches high upon overvoltage detection and remains high until LATCH is pulled high. When LATCH is high, OV behaves like UV - asserting high only while VL exceeds threshold and releasing after the TMR timeout expires. This dual-mode operation enables both fault-hold and transient-detection use cases in one device.
Can LTC2912CTS8-3#TRMPBF monitor a 12V supply directly without external components?
No - LTC2912CTS8-3#TRMPBF cannot connect directly to 12V. Its VCC pin has an internal 6.2–7.3V shunt regulator, so a series current-limiting resistor must be used to limit input current to ≤10mA. For 12V input, a ~600Ω resistor (assuming 6V drop across shunt) is typical. The VH/VL inputs remain referenced to the internal 500mV threshold and require appropriate resistor dividers.
What is the minimum capacitor value required on the TMR pin of LTC2912CTS8-3#TRMPBF?
The TMR pin of LTC2912CTS8-3#TRMPBF requires a minimum load of 10pF to ground for stable timing operation. Capacitors smaller than 10pF may cause inconsistent timeout periods or erratic behavior. Typical designs use 1nF (8.5ms timeout) to 22nF (200ms timeout); leakage current must stay below 1.3µA for long delays.
Does LTC2912CTS8-3#TRMPBF support operation below 2.3V supply voltage?
Yes - LTC2912CTS8-3#TRMPBF guarantees functional operation down to VCC = 1V. At VCC ≥ 1V, UV is asserted low and OV is defined (high for -3 variant). However, full specification compliance (e.g., ±1.5% threshold accuracy, 29µA ICC) applies only from VCC = 2.3V. Below 2.3V, it serves as a robust brownout detector but with relaxed parametric limits.
