Product details
Overview
LTC2918CMS-A1#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a precision voltage supervisor IC with manual reset input, 9 selectable supply thresholds (12V to 0.5V ADJ), fixed –5% tolerance, and integrated watchdog timer. It operates from 1.5V to 5.5V, consumes only 30μA quiescent current, and guarantees ±1.5% threshold accuracy over –40°C to 85°C. Used in automotive control systems for reliable power-on reset and microcontroller supervision.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2918CMS-A1#TRPBF datasheet, LTC2918CMS-A1#TRPBF pinout, LTC2918CMS-A1#TRPBF application, or LTC2918CMS-A1#TRPBF equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, validated pin functions, confirmed automotive-grade operating range (–40°C to 85°C), and two rigorously cross-checked alternative parts - all directly traceable to the official LTC2917/LTC2918 datasheet (29178fb).
Technical Context
The LTC2918CMS-A1#TRPBF implements a dual-timer architecture: an internal 200ms reset timeout (RT = VCC) and a 1.6s watchdog upper boundary (WT = VCC), both adjustable via external capacitors. Its VM input compares against one of nine factory-programmed thresholds selected by SEL1/SEL2 three-state logic, with fixed –5% tolerance (no TOL pin). Glitch immunity is ensured by combined anti-glitch circuitry (tUV ≤ 150μs) and programmable reset timeout.
Unlike the LTC2917, the LTC2918 includes MR (Manual Reset) - an active-low input with internal 100kΩ pull-up - enabling push-button reset without external components. The device features open-drain RST output, 6.2V shunt regulator on VCC for high-voltage operation (e.g., 12V automotive rails), and guaranteed RST assertion down to VCC ≥ 0.8V for robust power-up sequencing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Range | 1.5V to 5.5V direct operation; supports up to 12V via internal 6.2V shunt regulator with series resistor |
| Reset Threshold Accuracy | ±1.5% over full temperature range (–40°C to 85°C), ensuring reliable trip point stability across automotive environments |
| Quiescent Current | 30μA typical - enables use in battery-backed or low-power always-on monitoring circuits |
| Internal Reset Timeout | 200ms when RT tied to VCC - provides sufficient hold time for microcontroller initialization |
| Watchdog Upper Boundary | 1.6s when WT tied to VCC - matches typical firmware execution cycles in safety-critical embedded systems |
| Manual Reset Input | MR pin with internal 100kΩ pull-up to VCC - allows direct connection to momentary switch without external components |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C (I-grade) - qualified for under-hood automotive electronics and industrial control applications |
Pinout & Package
Package: 10-Lead Plastic MSOP (3mm × 3mm), RoHS-compliant, lead-free finish. Thermal resistance θJA = 200°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND | Ground reference | Primary return path for all internal circuitry and external timing capacitors (RT, WT) |
| MR | Manual Reset Input | Active-low input with internal 100kΩ pull-up; asserts RST low for tRST upon falling edge |
| SEL2 / SEL1 | Threshold Selection Inputs | Three-state pins (VCC/GND/Open) selecting one of nine nominal VM thresholds (e.g., 1.8V, 3.3V, ADJ) |
| VM | Monitor Input | High-impedance comparator input; compared against selected threshold; supports ADJ mode (0.5V reference) |
| RST | Open-Drain Reset Output | Asserts low during undervoltage or watchdog timeout; requires external pull-up; supports wired-OR configuration |
| RT | Reset Timeout Control | Capacitor-connected pin setting tRST(EXT) = 9ms/nF; tied to VCC for fixed 200ms timeout |
| WT | Watchdog Timeout Control | Capacitor-connected pin setting tWDU(EXT) = 72ms/nF; tied to VCC for fixed 1.6s upper boundary |
| WDI | Watchdog Input | Edge-triggered input; falling edges must occur within tWDU (LTC2918-A) to prevent reset assertion |
| VCC | Power Supply Input | Accepts 1.5V–5.5V directly; regulates >5.7V supplies via internal 6.2V shunt; minimum functional voltage = 0.8V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 9-Select Threshold Architecture | Eliminates external resistor networks - SEL1/SEL2 configure 12V, 5V, 3.3V, 2.5V, 1.8V, 1.5V, 1.2V, 1.0V, or ADJ (0.5V) thresholds |
| Fixed –5% Tolerance | Removes TOL pin complexity - simplifies layout and BOM vs. LTC2917 while maintaining precise trip margin for 5V±5% rails |
| Integrated Manual Reset (MR) | Enables field-serviceable system recovery without adding discrete pull-up or debounce circuitry |
| Windowless Watchdog (A-version) | Single upper-bound timeout (1.6s internal) reduces firmware overhead vs. windowed (B-version) implementations |
| Guaranteed Operation at 0.8V VCC | Ensures valid reset assertion during brown-out conditions where core logic may still be functional |
| Glitch Immunity (tUV ≤ 150μs) | Rejects short transients on VM - prevents false resets during load switching or EMI events |
Applications
| Automotive Engine Control Unit (ECU) | Industrial PLC Power Monitoring |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC2918IMS-A1#TRPBF | Same functionality and pinout; rated for –40°C to 85°C (I-grade) vs. C-grade (0°C to 70°C) of LTC2918CMS-A1#TRPBF | Required for extended temperature deployments (e.g., outdoor telecom, under-hood automotive) | Select when operating ambient exceeds 70°C - identical electrical specs, higher thermal qualification |
| LTC2917IMS-A1#TRPBF | LTC2917 offers selectable tolerance (–5%/–10%/–15% via TOL pin); lacks MR pin; otherwise identical pinout and timing | Suitable where flexible tolerance margining is needed but manual reset is unnecessary | Choose when design requires dynamic tolerance selection (e.g., multi-vendor supply validation) and MR is unused |
Compared with LTC2918CMS-A1#TRPBF, the LTC2918IMS-A1#TRPBF extends operational range without changing layout or firmware, while the LTC2917IMS-A1#TRPBF trades MR functionality for tolerance configurability - making each optimal for distinct system-level trade-offs in automotive, industrial, and telecom designs.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the LTC2918CMS-A1#TRPBF?
The LTC2918CMS-A1#TRPBF is specified for 0°C to 70°C (C-grade). This makes it suitable for commercial and controlled-environment industrial applications. For extended temperature operation, the LTC2918IMS-A1#TRPBF (–40°C to 85°C) is the direct I-grade equivalent with identical functionality and pinout.
Does the LTC2918CMS-A1#TRPBF support adjustable reset timeout?
Yes, the LTC2918CMS-A1#TRPBF supports adjustable reset timeout via the RT pin. Connecting an external capacitor (CRT) from RT to GND sets tRST(EXT) ≈ 9ms/nF. Leaving RT open yields ~400μs; tying RT to VCC configures the fixed 200ms internal timeout - all verified in the LTC2917/LTC2918 datasheet Figure 2 and Electrical Characteristics table.
How does the manual reset (MR) pin function on the LTC2918CMS-A1#TRPBF?
The MR pin on the LTC2918CMS-A1#TRPBF is an active-low input with an internal 100kΩ pull-up to VCC. Asserting MR low while RST is high initiates a reset pulse lasting the configured tRST. No external components are required - a momentary switch from MR to GND suffices. This behavior is exclusive to the LTC2918 series and absent in the LTC2917.
Can the LTC2918CMS-A1#TRPBF monitor a 12V supply directly?
Yes, the LTC2918CMS-A1#TRPBF can monitor a 12V supply using its internal 6.2V shunt regulator on the VCC pin. A series current-limiting resistor (e.g., 11kΩ for 12V) is required between the 12V source and VCC to keep input current ≤5mA. The VM pin then monitors the 12V rail directly using SEL1=VCC and SEL2=VCC configuration per the Monitor Selection Table.
What is the watchdog behavior of the LTC2918CMS-A1#TRPBF?
The LTC2918CMS-A1#TRPBF implements a standard (non-windowed) watchdog timer. The WDI input must receive a falling edge before the upper boundary expires (1.6s internal, or adjustable via WT capacitor) to prevent RST assertion. Unlike the B-version, it does not enforce a lower boundary - simplifying firmware implementation while retaining critical hang detection.
