Product details
Overview
LTC2914IGN-2#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a quad-input, adjustable UV/OV supply monitor IC for simultaneous monitoring of four independent voltage rails - including up to two negative supplies - in power management systems. It features ±1.5% threshold accuracy over temperature, 62µA quiescent current, open-drain UV/OV outputs, and an adjustable reset timeout with disable capability. It is used in desktop/notebook computers and network servers for core/I/O rail supervision.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2914IGN-2#PBF datasheet, LTC2914IGN-2#PBF pinout, LTC2914IGN-2#PBF application, or LTC2914IGN-2#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed OV/UV assertion at VCC ≥ 1V, polarity-selectable inputs via three-state SEL pin, buffered 1V reference output, input glitch rejection, and compatibility with both SSOP and DFN packages across industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C).
Technical Context
The LTC2914IGN-2#PBF implements four independent comparator pairs (VHn/VLn), each configurable for positive or negative supply monitoring using a three-state SEL pin. Thresholds are referenced to a precision 0.5V internal comparator input, with trip points set externally via resistor dividers. All comparators share common open-drain UV and OV outputs.
Unlike the LTC2914-1 variant, the -2 version replaces the LATCH function with DIS (disable) logic: pulling DIS high forces both UV and OV outputs into high-impedance state, overriding all fault conditions except VCC UVLO. The TMR pin supports adjustable timeout delay (6–14 ms typical with 1 nF) or bypass when tied to VCC.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Operating Range | 2.3V to 6V direct supply; shunt-regulated operation above 6V with external current-limiting resistor |
| Threshold Accuracy | ±1.5% over –40°C to +85°C - ensures reliable trip point stability without recalibration across thermal environments |
| Quiescent Current | 62 µA typical - enables low-power system supervision without impacting standby budget |
| Reference Output | 1.000 V ±15 mV (±1.5%) - buffered, ±1 mA capable, drives ≤1 nF load for negative-rail offset generation |
| Input Voltage Range | VHn/VLn: –0.3V to +7.5V - supports monitoring of negative supplies down to –5V (with 1V REF offset) |
| Reset Timeout Range | 6 ms to >10 s - programmable via CTMR capacitor (1 nF = ~8.5 ms); TMR pin can be strapped to VCC to disable timing |
| Output Type | Open-drain UV/OV with weak internal pull-up to VCC - enables wired-OR reset bus and flexible external pull-up selection |
Pinout & Package
Package: 16-Lead Plastic SSOP (GN), 0.150" wide, RoHS-compliant, rated for –40°C to +85°C operating temperature.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VH1–VH4 (Pins 1,3,5,7) | High-side voltage input | Triggers UV if below 0.5V (positive rail) or OV if below 0.5V (negative rail, per SEL configuration) |
| VL1–VL4 (Pins 2,4,6,8) | Low-side voltage input | Triggers OV if above 0.5V (positive rail) or UV if above 0.5V (negative rail, per SEL configuration) |
| VCC (Pin 16) | Supply input / shunt regulator | Operates as direct supply ≤6V; functions as 6.6V shunt regulator above 6V with external series resistor |
| GND (Pin 9) | Device ground reference | Common return for all analog and digital circuitry; exposed pad optional in DFN, not present in SSOP |
| UV (Pin 12) | Undervoltage logic output | Open-drain, asserts low on any UV condition; held low for adjustable timeout after all inputs recover |
| OV (Pin 11) | Overvoltage logic output | Open-drain, asserts low on any OV condition; disabled when DIS = high (LTC2914-2 only) |
| REF (Pin 10) | Buffered 1V reference output | Sources/sinks ±1 mA; used as offset for negative-supply monitoring circuits; stable to 1 nF capacitive load |
| TMR (Pin 15) | Reset timeout timer control | Capacitor-connected to GND sets timeout period; tie to VCC to bypass timing entirely |
| SEL (Pin 14) | Three-state polarity select | Connect to VCC/GND/open to configure V3/V4 inputs for positive/negative/positive-negative mixed monitoring |
| DIS (Pin 13) | Output disable input | Active-high disable: pulls UV/OV high-impedance regardless of fault status (LTC2914-2 exclusive feature) |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Quad independent UV/OV monitoring | Simultaneously supervises four voltage rails with dedicated VHn/VLn pairs - eliminates need for multiple discrete supervisors |
| Configurable polarity per input pair | SEL pin selects positive-only, negative-only, or mixed polarity for V3/V4 inputs - enables single IC to monitor both +5V and –5V rails |
| Adjustable reset timeout with disable | CTMR capacitor sets precise pulse width; DIS pin provides hardware-level override for test mode or safe boot sequences |
| Guaranteed operation at low VCC | Asserts valid UV/OV states down to VCC = 1V - ensures supervision during brown-out and power-up sequencing |
| Glitch-immune comparator inputs | Integrated low-pass filtering rejects transients <500 µs duration - prevents false resets from switching noise or ESD |

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-2#PBF | Same functionality and specs, but in 5mm × 3mm DFN package instead of 16-lead SSOP | Better thermal performance (θJA = 43.5°C/W vs 110°C/W) and smaller footprint; requires re-layout | Select for space-constrained or thermally demanding PCBs where SSOP is impractical |
| TPS3307-33DGNR | Triple-channel supervisor (not quad); fixed 3.3V UV/OV thresholds; no negative rail support; no SEL or DIS pins | Limited to three rails; no programmability; unsuitable for mixed-polarity or custom-threshold designs | Choose only if application uses exactly three 3.3V rails and requires lowest cost, not flexibility |
Compared with LTC2914IGN-2#PBF, the DFN variant offers superior thermal dissipation and miniaturization at the cost of board redesign, while the TPS3307-33DGNR sacrifices channel count, adjustability, and negative monitoring capability for lower unit price and simpler integration in fixed-rail systems.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC2914IGN-2#PBF?
The LTC2914IGN-2#PBF is rated for –40°C to +85°C industrial temperature operation. This is confirmed by its "I" grade marking (IGN) and specified electrical characteristics over that full range, including ±1.5% threshold accuracy and 62 µA quiescent current. It is not rated for automotive (–40°C to +125°C) or military grades.
How does the DIS pin on the LTC2914IGN-2#PBF differ from the LATCH pin on the LTC2914-1 variants?
The DIS (Disable) pin on LTC2914IGN-2#PBF is an active-high input that forces both UV and OV outputs into high-impedance state, overriding all fault conditions except VCC UVLO. In contrast, the LATCH pin on LTC2914-1 variants controls OV output latching behavior and has no effect on UV. The DIS function is exclusive to -2 versions and replaces LATCH functionality entirely.
Can the LTC2914IGN-2#PBF monitor negative voltages, and how is it configured?
Yes, the LTC2914IGN-2#PBF can monitor up to two negative voltages using its VHn/VLn inputs and the buffered 1V REF output. Configuration requires connecting the negative rail through a resistor divider to VHn/VLn, with REF used as the offset reference. Polarity is selected via the three-state SEL pin - tying SEL to GND configures V3/V4 for negative monitoring, enabling OV/UV detection based on relative voltage thresholds.
What is the minimum VCC voltage required for the LTC2914IGN-2#PBF to assert valid UV/OV outputs?
The LTC2914IGN-2#PBF guarantees valid UV and OV output assertion at VCC ≥ 1V. Below this, behavior is undefined. At VCC = 1V, VOL is specified at ≤0.15V for UV under 100 µA sink, and the internal comparators remain functional. This enables reliable supervision during deep brown-out conditions and early power-up phases before regulators reach nominal output.
Does the LTC2914IGN-2#PBF require external components for basic operation, and what are they?
Yes, the LTC2914IGN-2#PBF requires external resistor dividers on each VHn/VLn pair to set UV/OV trip points, a 0.1 µF bypass capacitor on VCC, and optionally a timing capacitor (CTMR) on TMR for reset timeout. The REF pin may drive a small capacitor (<1 nF) for stability. No external pull-ups are mandatory due to internal weak pull-ups on UV/OV, though external resistors may be added for faster rise times or wired-OR bus configurations.
