Product details
Overview
LTC2918IDDB-B1#TRMPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a precision voltage supervisor IC with 9 selectable supply thresholds, fixed –5% tolerance, manual reset input (MR), and windowed watchdog timer. It operates from 1.5V to 5.5V, consumes 30μA typical quiescent current, guarantees ±1.5% threshold accuracy over –40°C to +85°C, and supports automotive-grade reliability. It is used in microprocessor-based systems requiring robust power-up sequencing and fault recovery - e.g., engine control units monitoring 5V or 3.3V rails.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2918IDDB-B1#TRMPBF datasheet, LTC2918IDDB-B1#TRMPBF pinout, LTC2918IDDB-B1#TRMPBF application, or LTC2918IDDB-B1#TRMPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its B1 version's windowed watchdog (tWDL = 50ms / tWDU = 1.6s), MR pin compatibility with push-button interfaces, DFN-10 (3mm × 2mm) package, and guaranteed RST assertion down to VCC ≥ 0.8V.
Technical Context
The LTC2918IDDB-B1#TRMPBF implements a dual-stage supervision architecture: an internal comparator monitors VM against one of nine factory-programmed thresholds selected via SEL1/SEL2 three-state inputs, while a separate windowed watchdog logic block validates WDI falling-edge timing between lower (tWDL) and upper (tWDU) boundaries. Its fixed –5% tolerance eliminates TOL pin usage, distinguishing it from the LTC2917 family.
Reset timeout (tRST) and watchdog timeout are configurable via RT and WT pins - internally set to ~200ms and ~1.6s when tied to VCC, or externally adjusted using capacitors (CRT = 110 pF/ms, CWT = 13.8 nF/s). The open-drain RST output drives external pull-ups and supports wired-OR configurations across multiple supervisors.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Range | 1.5V to 5.5V - enables direct connection to common logic rails without external regulation |
| Threshold Accuracy | ±1.5% over –40°C to +85°C - ensures reliable trip point margining for 5V±10% or 3.3V±10% supplies |
| Quiescent Current | 30μA typical - minimizes standby power impact in battery-backed or always-on systems |
| Reset Timeout (Internal) | 200ms when RT = VCC - provides sufficient hold time for processor initialization before release |
| Watchdog Upper Boundary | 1.6s when WT = VCC - aligns with firmware loop execution windows in safety-critical applications |
| Watchdog Lower Boundary | 50ms for B1 version - prevents false resets from spurious noise or jitter on WDI signal |
| RST Low Voltage | ≤0.2V at IRST = 15μA and VCC = 0.8V - guarantees clean logic-low assertion even during brownout conditions |
Pinout & Package
Package: 10-lead (3mm × 2mm) plastic DFN with exposed pad (pin 11, optional GND connection).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND | Ground reference | Primary return path for all internal circuitry and external bypass capacitor |
| MR | Manual reset input | Active-low input with internal 100kΩ pull-up - directly interfaces to momentary switch without external components |
| SEL2, SEL1 | Threshold select inputs | Three-state logic (VCC/GND/open) - selects one of nine nominal thresholds (e.g., 3.3V, 1.8V, ADJ) |
| VM | Voltage monitor input | High-impedance comparator input - connects to supply rail or resistive divider for adjustable threshold |
| RST | Open-drain reset output | Asserts low during undervoltage or watchdog fault - requires external pull-up to system logic rail |
| RT | Reset timeout control | Configures tRST: open = ~400μs, VCC = ~200ms, capacitor to GND = adjustable (9ms/nF) |
| WT | Watchdog timeout control | Configures tWDU/tWDL: open = ~3.2ms, VCC = ~1.6s, capacitor to GND = adjustable (72ms/nF) |
| WDI | Watchdog input | Falling-edge sensitive only in B1 version - must toggle within 50ms–1.6s window to prevent RST assertion |
| VCC | Power supply input | Accepts 1.5V–5.5V directly; includes 6.2V shunt regulator for operation up to 12V with series resistor |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Windowed watchdog timer | Enforces both minimum (50ms) and maximum (1.6s) WDI edge intervals - prevents lockup from stuck or oscillating firmware |
| Manual reset input (MR) | Integrated 100kΩ pull-up enables push-button reset without external parts - simplifies field service and debug workflows |
| Glitch-immune comparator | Rejects transients <10μs duration at >5% threshold deviation - avoids nuisance resets during load switching or EMI events |
| Guaranteed RST at low VCC | Asserts valid reset signal even when VCC drops to 0.8V - ensures fail-safe behavior during deep brownout |
| 9-pin-selectable thresholds | Supports 12V, 5V, 3.3V, 2.5V, 1.8V, 1.5V, 1.2V, 1.0V, and ADJ (0.5V) - eliminates external resistor networks for most rail monitoring |

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC2918IDDB-B1#TRMPBF?
The LTC2918IDDB-B1#TRMPBF is rated for –40°C to +85°C (I-grade), verified per manufacturer specifications. This range supports industrial and automotive cabin applications. For under-hood use, the H-grade variant LTC2918HDDB-B1#TRMPBF extends operation to 125°C. The DFN-10 package's low thermal resistance (θJA = 43°C/W) ensures stable performance across this full range without derating.
Does the LTC2918IDDB-B1#TRMPBF require external resistors to set its voltage threshold?
No, the LTC2918IDDB-B1#TRMPBF does not require external resistors to set its voltage threshold. It uses internal resistor networks controlled by SEL1 and SEL2 three-state inputs to select among nine factory-programmed thresholds (e.g., 3.3V, 1.8V, ADJ). Only the ADJ mode requires an external resistive divider on the VM pin - all other modes configure thresholds entirely with pin strapping.
How does the windowed watchdog function differ between LTC2918-A and LTC2918-B versions?
The LTC2918IDDB-B1#TRMPBF is a B-version part, meaning its windowed watchdog requires WDI falling edges to occur strictly between tWDL (50ms) and tWDU (1.6s) - violating either boundary triggers RST. In contrast, the A-version only enforces the upper boundary (tWDU), accepting any edge before timeout. This makes the B1 version suitable for applications where both too-fast and too-slow firmware responses indicate failure.
Can the LTC2918IDDB-B1#TRMPBF monitor a 12V supply directly?
Yes, the LTC2918IDDB-B1#TRMPBF can monitor a 12V supply directly using its internal 6.2V shunt regulator on the VCC pin. A series current-limiting resistor (e.g., 11kΩ for 12V input) is required to keep VCC pin current ≤5mA. The VM pin then monitors the 12V rail in "12V" mode (SEL1 = SEL2 = VCC), with trip point guaranteed at 11.04V to 11.40V (–5% ±1.5%). No level-shifting circuitry is needed.
What is the purpose of the exposed pad on the DFN package of the LTC2918IDDB-B1#TRMPBF?
The exposed pad (pin 11) on the LTC2918IDDB-B1#TRMPBF's DFN-10 package serves as a thermal and electrical connection point. It may be left unconnected or soldered to a PCB ground plane to improve thermal dissipation (reducing θJA from 43°C/W) and enhance noise immunity. No internal circuitry is tied to this pad - it is electrically isolated from all signal pins and functions solely as a heatsink extension.
