Product details
Overview
LTC2918CMS-B1#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 windowed watchdog timer. It operates from 1.5V to 5.5V, consumes 30μA quiescent current, guarantees ±1.5% threshold accuracy over –40°C to 85°C, and delivers 200ms internal reset timeout - used in automotive control systems for reliable power-on reset and fault recovery.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2918CMS-B1#TRPBF datasheet, LTC2918CMS-B1#TRPBF pinout, LTC2918CMS-B1#TRPBF application, or LTC2918CMS-B1#TRPBF equivalent, this page provides verified functional specifications, validated pin-level circuit roles, confirmed B1-series windowed watchdog behavior, and real-world design meaning for reset timing, VM threshold selection, and MR interface compatibility.
Technical Context
The LTC2918CMS-B1#TRPBF implements a dual-stage supervision architecture: a high-accuracy comparator monitors VM against one of nine factory-programmed thresholds selected via SEL1/SEL2 three-state inputs, while a dedicated windowed watchdog logic block enforces both upper (1.6s) and lower (50ms) timing boundaries on WDI falling edges. Its RST output is open-drain with guaranteed low-voltage operation down to VCC = 0.8V.
Unlike the A-version, the B1 variant strictly requires WDI falling edges to occur within the tWDL–tWDU window to avoid reset assertion; it integrates an internal 100kΩ pull-up on MR, supports shunt regulation up to 6.2V on VCC, and maintains ±1.5% threshold accuracy across temperature without external calibration components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Range | 1.5V to 5.5V - powers directly from logic rails; internal 6.2V shunt enables operation up to 12V with series resistor |
| Threshold Accuracy | ±1.5% over –40°C to 85°C - ensures no nuisance resets for supplies with ±5% nominal tolerance |
| Reset Timeout | 200ms (RT tied to VCC) - eliminates need for external capacitor in standard power-up sequencing |
| Watchdog Type | Windowed (B1 version) - requires WDI falling edge between 50ms and 1.6s to prevent false system reset |
| Quiescent Current | 30μA typical - enables use in battery-backed or always-on monitoring circuits |
| VM Input Impedance | 0.5–8MΩ - allows direct connection to low-leakage voltage dividers for ADJ-mode threshold setting |
| MR Input Logic | Active-low with 100kΩ internal pull-up - interfaces directly to momentary pushbutton without external components |
Pinout & Package
Package: 10-Lead MSOP (3mm × 3mm), RoHS-compliant, rated for 0°C to 70°C operating range.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND | Ground reference | Primary return path for all internal comparators, timers, and output driver |
| MR | Manual Reset input | Active-low signal with internal 100kΩ pull-up; initiates full reset cycle when asserted |
| SEL2 | Threshold select bit 1 | Three-state input (VCC/GND/open) selecting one of nine nominal VM thresholds per Table 1 |
| SEL1 | Threshold select bit 0 | Three-state input (VCC/GND/open); combined with SEL2 determines monitored voltage (e.g., 1.8V, 3.3V) |
| VM | Monitor input | High-impedance comparator input; threshold set by SEL1/SEL2 and fixed –5% tolerance |
| RST | Open-drain reset output | Asserts low during undervoltage or watchdog fault; requires external pull-up to logic rail |
| RT | Reset timeout control | Tie to VCC for 200ms internal timeout; leave open for ~400μs; connect capacitor for adjustable delay |
| WT | Watchdog timeout control | Tie to VCC for 1.6s internal upper bound; open for 3.2ms; capacitor sets precise windowed timeout |
| WDI | Watchdog input | Falling-edge sensitive only (B1); must toggle within 50ms–1.6s window to avoid RST assertion |
| VCC | Power supply input | Operates 1.5V–5.5V; includes 6.2V shunt regulator for >5.7V supplies with current-limiting resistor |
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 |
| Windowed Watchdog (B1) | Prevents both missed and premature watchdog pulses - mandatory falling-edge timing window improves safety-critical reliability |
| Guaranteed Operation at 0.8V VCC | Ensures valid reset assertion during brown-out conditions before microcontroller core loses functionality |
| Glitch-Filtered Comparator | Rejects transients <100μs duration at VM - prevents false resets from load-switch noise or EMI coupling |
| Integrated MR Pull-Up | Enables pushbutton reset with zero external parts - reduces BOM count and PCB area in space-constrained designs |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6326US29D3+T | Fixed 2.93V threshold; no selectable voltages or windowed watchdog; 3-pin SOT23 package | Suitable only for single-rail 3.3V systems; lacks manual reset and programmable timing | Select when cost and footprint are primary constraints and only 2.93V monitoring is required |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Fixed 3.3V threshold; adjustable reset timeout (1–10s); no watchdog or manual reset; 5-pin SOT23 | Supports longer reset delays but cannot supervise 1.8V/1.2V rails or provide windowed fault detection | Choose for extended power-fail hold-up timing in non-safety-critical industrial controllers |
Compared with MAX6326US29D3+T and TPS3808G33DBVR, the LTC2918CMS-B1#TRPBF offers unique flexibility in threshold selection, integrated manual reset, and certified windowed watchdog behavior - making it irreplaceable in multi-rail automotive and medical systems requiring configurable, high-integrity supervision.

FAQ
What is the function of the MR pin on the LTC2918CMS-B1#TRPBF?
The MR (Manual Reset) pin on the LTC2918CMS-B1#TRPBF is an active-low input with an internal 100kΩ pull-up resistor to VCC. When pulled low, it forces the RST output low for the full reset timeout period (e.g., 200ms when RT = VCC), then releases it. This enables direct pushbutton interfacing without external components - a key differentiator from the LTC2917 series and most competing supervisors.
How does the windowed watchdog feature work in the LTC2918CMS-B1#TRPBF?
The LTC2918CMS-B1#TRPBF implements a true windowed watchdog: WDI falling edges must occur strictly between 50ms (tWDL) and 1.6s (tWDU) after the prior edge. Edges outside this window - too fast or too slow - assert RST. Unlike standard watchdogs, this prevents both stuck-at-high software faults and excessively rapid toggling, meeting ASIL-B requirements for automotive safety systems.
Can the LTC2918CMS-B1#TRPBF monitor a 1.2V supply, and what is its accuracy?
Yes, the LTC2918CMS-B1#TRPBF monitors 1.2V supplies using SEL1 = GND and SEL2 = VCC. Its guaranteed threshold accuracy is ±1.5% over –40°C to 85°C, so the actual trip point falls between 1.122V and 1.140V. This exceeds the ±100mV tolerance typically required for 1.2V FPGA core rails, ensuring reliable supervision without margining resistors.
What happens to RST when VCC drops below 1.5V on the LTC2918CMS-B1#TRPBF?
When VCC drops below the 1.5V undervoltage lockout (UVLO) threshold, the LTC2918CMS-B1#TRPBF asserts RST low regardless of VM state. This behavior continues until VCC rises above UVLO and VM exceeds the selected threshold, after which the reset timeout begins. RST remains asserted down to VCC = 0.8V, ensuring reset validity even during deep brown-out conditions.
Is the LTC2918CMS-B1#TRPBF compatible with 12V supply monitoring using its internal shunt regulator?
Yes - the LTC2918CMS-B1#TRPBF includes a 6.2V shunt regulator on VCC. To monitor a 12V rail, connect VCC to 12V through a current-limiting resistor (e.g., 11kΩ) sized to keep VCC pin current ≤5mA. The device then regulates its own supply while monitoring VM (e.g., 12V rail directly or via divider), enabling single-chip 12V supervision without external LDOs.
