Product details
Overview
LTC2915IDDB-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 supply, consumes only 30μA quiescent current, guarantees ±1.5% threshold accuracy over –40°C to 125°C, and features glitch-immune open-drain RST output with 200ms internal timeout - used in engine control units to ensure microcontroller initialization under cold-crank conditions.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2915IDDB-1#TRMPBF datasheet, LTC2915IDDB-1#TRMPBF pinout, LTC2915IDDB-1#TRMPBF application, or LTC2915IDDB-1#TRMPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 8-pin DFN (3mm × 2mm) package, three-state SEL1/SEL2/TOL input configuration for 9 nominal voltages and 3 tolerances, guaranteed RST assertion down to VCC = 0.8V, and operation up to 125°C without derating.
Technical Context
The LTC2915IDDB-1#TRMPBF implements a precision comparator-based supervision architecture with internally trimmed reference dividers and programmable hysteresis via TOL pin selection (–5%, –10%, –15%). Its VM input monitors external supply rails using nine fixed thresholds (12V to 1.0V + ADJ) or an adjustable 0.5V reference point, with all trip points guaranteed within ±1.5% across temperature.
Reset timing is controlled either by internal 200ms timer (RT tied to VCC), external capacitor (9ms/nF scaling), or ~400μs default (RT floating). The device integrates a 6.2V shunt regulator on VCC to support high-voltage operation (e.g., 12V automotive battery), requiring only a series resistor when VCC > 5.7V - enabling direct connection to unregulated supplies without external LDO.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage the LTC2915IDDB-1#TRMPBF can tolerate on its VCC pin?
The LTC2915IDDB-1#TRMPBF has an absolute maximum VCC rating of 5.7V. However, its integrated 6.2V shunt regulator allows operation from higher voltages (e.g., 12V automotive battery) when a current-limiting resistor is placed between the supply and VCC pin. Without that resistor, exceeding 5.7V risks violating the ±5mA terminal current limit and damaging the device. Always refer to the shunt regulator design equations in the datasheet for proper resistor sizing.
How do I configure the LTC2915IDDB-1#TRMPBF to monitor a 1.5V supply with –10% tolerance?
To monitor 1.5V at –10% tolerance using the LTC2915IDDB-1#TRMPBF, set SEL1 = Open, SEL2 = GND (per Table 1), and TOL = Open (per Table 2). This configures the device for the 1.5V nominal threshold with –10% tolerance, resulting in a trip point of 1.35V ±1.5% (1.330V to 1.370V). Ensure VM is connected directly to the 1.5V rail and bypass VCC with a 0.1μF ceramic capacitor.
Does the LTC2915IDDB-1#TRMPBF require external components to generate a 200ms reset timeout?
No, the LTC2915IDDB-1#TRMPBF does not require external components for a 200ms reset timeout. Simply tie the RT pin to VCC, and the internal timer will generate a guaranteed 150ms to 260ms timeout (typical 200ms) across temperature. This eliminates the need for timing capacitors and associated PCB area in applications where fixed delay is acceptable.
Can the LTC2915IDDB-1#TRMPBF monitor a supply voltage higher than 5.5V?
Yes, the LTC2915IDDB-1#TRMPBF can monitor supplies >5.5V using its ADJ mode. Configure SEL1 = GND and SEL2 = GND to select the ADJ (0.5V) threshold, then connect VM to a resistive divider from the high-voltage rail to ground. Size R1 and R2 so VM = 0.5V at the nominal rail voltage (e.g., 24V), accounting for ±1.5% accuracy. The internal comparator references 0.5V, enabling precise supervision of any voltage.
What is the purpose of the exposed pad on the LTC2915IDDB-1#TRMPBF DFN package?
The exposed pad (Pin 9) on the LTC2915IDDB-1#TRMPBF DFN package serves as a thermal and electrical connection point. While optional, connecting it to PCB ground improves thermal dissipation (reducing θJA from 76°C/W to lower effective value) and enhances noise immunity. It must be solder-plated per JEDEC standards and does not require electrical connection for basic functionality, but grounding is strongly recommended for automotive and industrial applications operating at 125°C.
