Product details
Overview
LTC2915CDDB-1#TRMPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a precision voltage supervisor IC with 27 selectable reset thresholds, designed for reliable power-on reset and supply monitoring in automotive and industrial systems. It operates from 1.5V to 5.5V, consumes only 30μA quiescent current, guarantees ±1.5% threshold accuracy over –40°C to 125°C, and features glitch-immune open-drain RST output. It is used in engine control units to monitor 1.8V microcontroller core supplies.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2915CDDB-1#TRMPBF datasheet, LTC2915CDDB-1#TRMPBF pinout, LTC2915CDDB-1#TRMPBF application, or LTC2915CDDB-1#TRMPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 9 nominal voltage selections (12V to ADJ), 3 tolerance options (–5%/–10%/–15%), internal 200ms reset timeout, TSOT-23/DFN package compatibility, and guaranteed RST assertion down to VCC ≥ 0.8V.
Technical Context
The LTC2915CDDB-1#TRMPBF implements a precision comparator-based supervision architecture with three-state SEL1/SEL2/TOL inputs that configure both nominal threshold and tolerance without external resistors. Its internal reference and divider matrix ensures stable trip points across temperature, while anti-glitch circuitry and programmable reset timeout (200ms default or capacitor-adjustable) prevent false resets during transient supply disturbances.
It integrates a 6.2V shunt regulator on VCC for direct operation from high-voltage rails (e.g., 12V automotive battery), requiring only a series current-limiting resistor above 5.7V. The VM input supports fixed thresholds or adjustable mode (0.5V reference), enabling accurate margining of supplies from 1V to 12V with ±1.5% guaranteed accuracy over full temperature range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Range | 1.5V to 5.5V - powers internal circuitry; supports direct connection to logic rails or regulated system supplies. |
| Threshold Accuracy | ±1.5% over –40°C to 125°C - ensures reliable reset assertion even under extreme thermal stress in automotive ECUs. |
| Quiescent Current | 30μA typical - enables always-on monitoring in battery-backed or low-power embedded systems without significant drain. |
| Reset Timeout | 200ms internal default - provides sufficient hold time for microcontroller initialization before release of RST signal. |
| VCC Undervoltage Lockout | 1.5V max - guarantees RST remains asserted until VCC stabilizes above minimum operating voltage. |
| RST Output Type | Open-drain - allows wired-OR configuration with multiple supervisors and flexible pull-up to any logic rail (e.g., 3.3V). |
| VM Input Impedance | 0.5–8MΩ - minimizes loading on monitored supply, critical when monitoring low-current LDO outputs. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-Lead (3mm × 2mm) Plastic DFN with optional exposed pad (Pin 9) for thermal enhancement or GND connection.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VM (Pin 4) | Voltage Monitor Input | High-impedance comparator input; threshold set by SEL1/SEL2/TOL; supports fixed (1.0V–12V) or adjustable (0.5V reference) modes. |
| SEL1 (Pin 3) | Nominal Threshold Select (MSB) | Three-state input (VCC/GND/open) selecting one of nine nominal voltages per Table 1; determines primary trip point. |
| TOL (Pin 2) | Tolerance Selection | Three-state input (VCC/GND/open) setting –5%, –10%, or –15% tolerance band; unique to LTC2915 family. |
| GND (Pin 1) | Ground Reference | Primary return path for internal circuitry and VM reference; exposed pad may be connected here for improved thermal performance. |
| RST (Pin 8) | Open-Drain Reset Output | Asserts low when VM falls below threshold; held low for reset timeout after recovery; requires external pull-up. |
| RT (Pin 7) | Reset Timeout Control | Configures timer: tied to VCC = ~200ms, floating = ~400μs, capacitor-to-GND = adjustable (9ms/nF). |
| SEL2 (Pin 6) | Nominal Threshold Select (LSB) | Three-state input completing 9-way voltage selection with SEL1; open/GND/VCC combinations define exact nominal value. |
| VCC (Pin 5) | Power Supply Input | Supplies internal circuitry; includes 6.2V shunt regulator for operation from >5.7V rails (e.g., 12V automotive). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 27 Selectable Thresholds | Combines 9 nominal voltages (12V to ADJ) with 3 tolerances (–5%/–10%/–15%) - eliminates need for external resistor networks and simplifies BOM across multiple supply rails. |
| Guaranteed Operation to 125°C | Rated for H-grade (–40°C to 125°C) - validated for under-hood automotive applications where ambient temperatures exceed 85°C. |
| Glitch Immunity | Combined anti-glitch circuitry + 200ms timeout prevents false resets from load transients or noise near trip point - improves system reliability in noisy environments. |
| Low-VCC Reset Assertion | RST guaranteed active down to VCC = 0.8V - ensures clean reset initiation during brown-out conditions before internal logic becomes unstable. |
| Adjustable Threshold Mode | VM accepts external resistive divider to set custom trip point at 0.5V reference - enables precise margining of non-standard supply voltages (e.g., 1.1V, 1.35V). |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC2915CTS8-1#TRPBF | Same functionality and electrical specs, but in 8-lead TSOT-23 package (2.9mm × 1.6mm) instead of DFN (3mm × 2mm). | Preferred for space-constrained layouts where height < 1mm is critical; thermal resistance θJA = 250°C/W vs. 76°C/W for DFN. | Select when PCB real estate is more constrained than thermal budget; verify layout clearance for TSOT-23 soldering. |
| LTC2916CDDB-1#TRPBF | Fixed –5% tolerance only (no TOL pin); adds manual reset (MR) input; identical DFN package and temperature grade. | Suitable for designs requiring push-button reset capability or simplified tolerance configuration; MR pin replaces TOL function. | Choose when manual reset interface is needed or tolerance flexibility is unnecessary; note pinout differs (MR replaces TOL). |
Compared with LTC2915CDDB-1#TRMPBF, the TSOT-23 variant offers smaller footprint but higher thermal resistance, while the LTC2916CDDB-1#TRPBF trades tolerance configurability for manual reset functionality - both share identical DFN mechanical compatibility and automotive-grade temperature range.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC2915CDDB-1#TRMPBF?
The LTC2915CDDB-1#TRMPBF is rated for the commercial temperature range of 0°C to 70°C, as indicated by the "C" suffix in the part number and confirmed in the Order Information table. This distinguishes it from I-grade (–40°C to 85°C) and H-grade (–40°C to 125°C) variants. The DFN package supports this range with θJA = 76°C/W.
Does the LTC2915CDDB-1#TRMPBF support manual reset functionality?
No, the LTC2915CDDB-1#TRMPBF does not include manual reset (MR) functionality. That feature is exclusive to the LTC2916 family. The LTC2915CDDB-1#TRMPBF uses Pin 2 for the TOL (tolerance select) input, whereas the LTC2916CDDB-1#TRPBF repurposes that pin as MR. Manual reset requires switching to an LTC2916 variant.
How is the reset timeout configured on the LTC2915CDDB-1#TRMPBF?
The LTC2915CDDB-1#TRMPBF configures reset timeout via the RT pin: tying RT to VCC yields ~200ms, leaving it floating yields ~400μs, and connecting an external capacitor (CRT) to GND sets tRST ≈ 9ms/nF. For example, a 2.2nF capacitor gives ~20ms. No external components are required for the default 200ms mode.
Can the LTC2915CDDB-1#TRMPBF monitor a 12V supply directly?
Yes, the LTC2915CDDB-1#TRMPBF can monitor a 12V supply directly using its internal 6.2V shunt regulator on the VCC pin. A series current-limiting resistor must be placed between the 12V source and VCC to restrict input current to ≤5mA, calculated per the formula in the Applications Information section.
What is the purpose of the exposed pad on the DFN package of the LTC2915CDDB-1#TRMPBF?
The exposed pad (Pin 9) on the LTC2915CDDB-1#TRMPBF's DFN package is optional and may be left unconnected or soldered to PCB ground. When connected to GND, it improves thermal performance (reducing θJA) and enhances ESD robustness. It is not electrically tied to any internal node and serves solely as a thermal and mechanical aid.
