Product details
Overview
LTC2914IDHC-2#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a quad-input undervoltage/overvoltage supervisor IC designed for simultaneous monitoring of four independent power rails in high-reliability systems. It features ±1.5% threshold accuracy over temperature, 62µA quiescent current, adjustable reset timeout via external capacitor, and dual-polarity support (positive/negative voltage monitoring) using a buffered 1V reference. It is used in desktop/notebook computers and network servers for core/I/O rail supervision.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2914IDHC-2#PBF datasheet, LTC2914IDHC-2#PBF pinout, LTC2914IDHC-2#PBF application, or LTC2914IDHC-2#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed UV/OV assertion at VCC ≥ 1V, open-drain UV/OV outputs with weak internal pull-ups, polarity-selectable inputs via three-state SEL pin, and DIS pin-based output disable functionality unique to the -2 variant.
Technical Context
The LTC2914IDHC-2#PBF implements four independent comparator pairs (VHn/VLn), each comparing input voltages against a common 0.5V internal threshold referenced to a buffered 1V reference. Its DIS pin (Pin 13) enables full disablement of both UV and OV outputs-unlike the -1 variant's latch functionality-making it suitable for systems requiring controlled reset suppression during power sequencing or firmware-controlled hold-off.
Threshold detection uses low-leakage inputs (±15nA typical), glitch-filtered comparators, and an adjustable timeout timer (TMR pin) that holds UV/OV asserted after fault clearance. The three-state SEL pin selects polarity configuration for inputs VH3/VL3 and VH4/VL4, enabling monitoring of up to two negative supplies without external components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2.3V to 6V supply; shunt-regulated operation above 6V with external series resistor |
| Threshold Accuracy | ±1.5% over full temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), ensuring reliable trip points across operating conditions |
| Quiescent Current | 62µA typical, enabling micropower system-level supervision without significant load impact |
| UV/OV Output Type | Open-drain with weak internal pull-up to VCC; supports wired-OR and level-shifting applications |
| Reset Timeout | Adjustable via external CTMR capacitor (e.g., 8.5ms with 1nF); disabled when TMR tied to VCC |
| Input Polarity Control | Three-state SEL pin configures VH3/VL3 & VH4/VL4 for positive or negative supply monitoring |
| DIS Pin Function | High-level assertion disables both UV and OV outputs-core differentiator vs. LTC2914-1 variants |
Pinout & Package
Package: 16-lead (5mm × 3mm) plastic DFN with exposed pad (Pin 17), rated for –40°C to +85°C operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VH1 (Pin 1) | Positive-supply undervoltage sense input | Triggers UV when voltage falls below 0.5V threshold; tied to VCC if unused |
| VL1 (Pin 2) | Positive-supply overvoltage sense input | Triggers OV when voltage rises above 0.5V threshold; tied to GND if unused |
| VH2 (Pin 3) | Positive-supply undervoltage sense input | Second independent UV monitor input; identical behavior to VH1 |
| VL2 (Pin 4) | Positive-supply overvoltage sense input | Second independent OV monitor input; identical behavior to VL1 |
| VH3 (Pin 5) | Polarity-configurable voltage sense input | UV or OV trigger depends on SEL state; supports negative-supply monitoring |
| VL3 (Pin 6) | Polarity-configurable voltage sense input | Paired with VH3; polarity determined by SEL pin logic state |
| VH4 (Pin 7) | Polarity-configurable voltage sense input | Third configurable pair; enables fourth monitored rail with polarity flexibility |
| VL4 (Pin 8) | Polarity-configurable voltage sense input | Paired with VH4; completes quad-monitoring capability |
| GND (Pin 9) | Device ground reference | Primary return path; exposed pad (Pin 17) may be connected to GND for thermal performance |
| REF (Pin 10) | Buffered 1V reference output | Sources/sinks ±1mA; used as offset for negative-rail monitoring circuits |
| OV (Pin 11) | Open-drain overvoltage output | Asserts low on any OV condition; disabled when DIS = high |
| UV (Pin 12) | Open-drain undervoltage output | Asserts low on any UV condition; disabled when DIS = high |
| DIS (Pin 13) | Output disable control | High-level signal forces both UV and OV into high-impedance (weak pull-up) state |
| SEL (Pin 14) | Three-state polarity select | Connect to VCC/GND/open to configure VH3/VL3 & VH4/VL4 for +/− monitoring |
| TMR (Pin 15) | Reset timeout timing control | Capacitor-to-GND sets delay; tie to VCC to bypass timeout |
| VCC (Pin 16) | Supply input / shunt regulator | Operates directly up to 6V; regulates higher voltages with external current-limiting resistor |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad voltage monitoring applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC2914IDHC-1#PBF | LATCH pin instead of DIS; provides OV latching (not disable); no output suppression capability | Suitable for systems requiring persistent OV indication until cleared by external signal | Select only if latching behavior is required; not functionally interchangeable due to pin role difference |
| TPS3307-33DGNR | Triple-channel (not quad); fixed 3.3V UV threshold; no negative rail support; no DIS/LATCH pin | Lower channel count; limited to single-rail or stacked-rail monitoring with external dividers | Consider only for simpler, lower-cost 3-rail systems without negative supply needs |
Compared with LTC2914IDHC-1#PBF, the LTC2914IDHC-2#PBF replaces latching with hardware disable-critical for firmware-controlled reset management. Versus TPS3307-33DGNR, it adds a fourth channel, polarity flexibility, and ±1.5% accuracy, justifying use in complex, high-integrity multi-rail systems.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC2914IDHC-2#PBF?
The LTC2914IDHC-2#PBF is specified for operation from –40°C to +85°C, making it suitable for industrial and commercial computing applications where ambient temperatures exceed consumer-grade limits. This rating is confirmed by the "I" grade designation in the part number and validated in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table of the official datasheet.
How does the DIS pin on the LTC2914IDHC-2#PBF function?
The DIS pin (Pin 13) on the LTC2914IDHC-2#PBF disables both UV and OV outputs when driven high. When active, it forces both outputs into a high-impedance state with only the weak internal pull-up active-distinct from the LATCH pin on the -1 variant. This allows firmware or system logic to suppress reset generation during known transients or initialization phases without altering the monitored rail states.
Can the LTC2914IDHC-2#PBF monitor negative voltages?
Yes, the LTC2914IDHC-2#PBF can monitor up to two negative voltages using its buffered 1V reference (REF pin) and three-state SEL pin to configure VH3/VL3 and VH4/VL4 inputs. When SEL is grounded, both pairs monitor negative supplies: VHn triggers OV when voltage becomes more negative than threshold, and VLn triggers UV when less negative-enabling accurate –5V or –12V supervision without external level-shifting circuitry.
What is the minimum VCC voltage required for valid operation of the LTC2914IDHC-2#PBF?
The LTC2914IDHC-2#PBF guarantees UV and OV output functionality down to VCC = 1V, per the Electrical Characteristics table. At this level, VOL remains ≤0.15V for UV under 100µA sink current. However, full comparator operation (VHn/VLn input validity) begins at VCC ≥ 2V, with UVLO releasing at VCC > 2.1V maximum. This low-VCC capability supports brown-out detection during deep power-down sequences.
How is the reset timeout period set on the LTC2914IDHC-2#PBF?
The reset timeout period on the LTC2914IDHC-2#PBF is set by connecting an external capacitor (CTMR) between the TMR pin (Pin 15) and GND. The timeout scales linearly: tUOTO ≈ 9ms/nF (e.g., 8.5ms with 1nF). Tying TMR to VCC bypasses the timer entirely. Capacitor leakage must stay below 1.3µA to maintain accuracy, and minimum value is 10pF per datasheet specification.
