Product details
Overview
LTC2918IDDB-A1#TRMPBF 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 adjustable 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 units for reliable power-on reset and microcontroller supervision.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2918IDDB-A1#TRMPBF datasheet, LTC2918IDDB-A1#TRMPBF pinout, LTC2918IDDB-A1#TRMPBF application, or LTC2918IDDB-A1#TRMPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its DFN-10 (3mm × 2mm) package, MR pin support for push-button reset, windowed watchdog capability (A1 variant uses standard watchdog only), guaranteed RST assertion down to VCC ≥ 0.8V, and operation up to 125°C junction temperature.
Technical Context
The LTC2918IDDB-A1#TRMPBF implements a dual-stage monitoring architecture: a precision comparator monitors VM against one of nine factory-programmed thresholds selected via SEL1/SEL2 three-state inputs, while an independent watchdog logic block validates WDI edge timing against programmable upper boundary (tWDU = 1.6s internal). Its fixed –5% tolerance eliminates TOL pin usage versus LTC2917, simplifying configuration.
Reset assertion is controlled by internal 200ms timer when RT = VCC, with glitch immunity ensured by 10μs–150μs input filtering (tUV) and open-drain RST output capable of sinking 2.5mA at 3.3V. The device integrates a 6.2V shunt regulator on VCC, enabling direct 12V supply operation with external current-limiting resistor.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Range | 1.5V to 5.5V nominal; supports up to 12V via integrated 6.2V shunt regulator with series resistor |
| Threshold Accuracy | ±1.5% over full temperature range (–40°C to 85°C), ensuring reliable trip point across automotive environments |
| Quiescent Current | 30μA typical - enables always-on supervision in battery-backed systems without significant drain |
| Reset Timeout | 200ms internal (RT = VCC); also supports adjustable timeout via external capacitor (9ms/nF scaling) |
| Watchdog Type | Standard (non-windowed) timeout - tWDU(INT) = 1.6s when WT = VCC; no lower-bound enforcement (A1 version) |
| RST Output | Open-drain, guaranteed low to 0.15V at 2.5mA load (VCC = 3.3V), supports wired-OR multi-supervisor configurations |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C (I-grade), validated for under-hood automotive electronics and industrial controllers |
Pinout & Package
Package: 10-lead (3mm × 2mm) plastic DFN with exposed pad (pin 11, optional GND connection). Pin count, footprint, and thermal resistance (θJA = 43°C/W) are optimized for space-constrained automotive PCBs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND | Ground reference | Primary return path for all internal circuitry and RST sink current; must be low-impedance |
| MR | Manual Reset Input | Active-low input with 100kΩ internal pull-up; asserts RST for full timeout when pulled low - enables push-button reset without external components |
| SEL2 / SEL1 | Threshold Selection Inputs | Three-state (VCC/GND/open) pins selecting one of nine nominal VM thresholds (e.g., 1.8V, 3.3V, ADJ); no external resistors required |
| VM | Monitor Voltage Input | High-impedance comparator input (0.5–15V range); compares against selected threshold; supports external divider for ADJ mode |
| RST | Reset Output | Open-drain output asserting low during fault or timeout; requires external pull-up; sinks ≥2.5mA at 3.3V |
| RT | Reset Timeout Control | Connect to VCC for 200ms internal timeout; leave open for ~400μs; add capacitor for adjustable delay (9ms/nF) |
| WT | Watchdog Timeout Control | Tie to VCC for 1.6s internal watchdog timeout; open for 3.2ms; GND disables watchdog - no windowing in A1 version |
| WDI | Watchdog Input | Edge-triggered input; falling edge resets watchdog timer; must toggle within tWDU to prevent RST assertion |
| VCC | Power Supply Input | Accepts 1.5–5.5V directly; >5.7V requires series resistor due to internal 6.2V shunt regulator |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 9-Step Threshold Selection | Hardware-configurable via SEL1/SEL2 (no firmware or external resistors) - supports 12V, 5V, 3.3V, 2.5V, 1.8V, 1.5V, 1.2V, 1.0V, and ADJ (0.5V reference) |
| Fixed –5% Tolerance | Eliminates need for TOL pin routing and reduces BOM count vs. LTC2917; ensures consistent trip margin for 5% supply rails |
| Integrated Manual Reset | MR pin with 100kΩ internal pull-up enables direct push-button interface - removes external pull-up and debouncing circuitry |
| Glitch-Immune Comparator | Guaranteed 10μs minimum pulse rejection (tUV) prevents false resets from transient noise near threshold crossing |
| Shunt Regulator Support | 6.2V VCC shunt allows direct 12V battery connection with single series resistor - simplifies high-voltage power domain interfacing |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6326UT29D3+T | Fixed 2.93V threshold; no selectable voltages or manual reset; 1.2μA IQ; SOT23-3 package | Suitable only for single-rail 3V systems; lacks configurability and MR pin | Select when cost and size are critical and only 2.93V supervision is needed - not a functional replacement for LTC2918IDDB-A1#TRMPBF |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Fixed 3.3V threshold; adjustable reset timeout (1.25ms–10s); no watchdog or MR; 16μA IQ; SOT23-6 | Supports longer timeouts but no voltage selection or manual reset; requires external RC for adjustment | Choose for low-power 3.3V-only applications needing extended reset hold; does not replicate LTC2918IDDB-A1#TRMPBF's flexibility |
Compared with MAX6326UT29D3+T and TPS3808G33DBVR, the LTC2918IDDB-A1#TRMPBF uniquely combines multi-threshold selection, manual reset, and integrated watchdog in a DFN-10 package - making it irreplaceable for designs requiring field-serviceable reset and adaptable rail monitoring.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC2918IDDB-A1#TRMPBF?
The LTC2918IDDB-A1#TRMPBF is rated for –40°C to +85°C (I-grade), verified across the full range for threshold accuracy (±1.5%), reset timeout (200ms ±30%), and quiescent current (30–45μA). This makes the LTC2918IDDB-A1#TRMPBF suitable for under-dash automotive modules and industrial control enclosures without derating.
Does the LTC2918IDDB-A1#TRMPBF support windowed watchdog functionality?
No - the LTC2918IDDB-A1#TRMPBF implements standard watchdog timing only (upper boundary enforcement). Windowed watchdog (requiring both upper and lower timing bounds) is exclusive to B1 versions (e.g., LTC2918IDDB-B1#TRMPBF). The A1 suffix confirms non-windowed operation, which simplifies firmware design for basic heartbeat validation.
How is the reset timeout configured on the LTC2918IDDB-A1#TRMPBF?
The LTC2918IDDB-A1#TRMPBF offers three reset timeout options: tie RT to VCC for 200ms internal timeout, leave RT open for ~400μs, or connect an external capacitor (CRT) from RT to GND for adjustable delay (9ms/nF scaling). For example, a 2.2nF capacitor yields ~20ms timeout - enabling precise alignment with processor boot requirements in the LTC2918IDDB-A1#TRMPBF.
Can the LTC2918IDDB-A1#TRMPBF monitor a 12V supply directly?
Yes - the LTC2918IDDB-A1#TRMPBF integrates a 6.2V shunt regulator on VCC. To monitor 12V, connect it through a series current-limiting resistor (e.g., 11kΩ for 12V automotive) to keep VCC pin current ≤5mA. The device then regulates internally to 5.5V, enabling direct 12V rail supervision without external regulators - a key feature of the LTC2918IDDB-A1#TRMPBF.
What is the function of the MR pin on the LTC2918IDDB-A1#TRMPBF?
The MR (Manual Reset) pin on the LTC2918IDDB-A1#TRMPBF is an active-low input with 100kΩ internal pull-up, allowing direct connection to a momentary push button (button-to-GND). Pulling MR low asserts RST for the full reset timeout period - enabling field service reset without modifying firmware or cycling power. This distinguishes the LTC2918IDDB-A1#TRMPBF from the LTC2917 family.
