Product details
Overview
LTC2918IMS-A1#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a precision voltage supervisor IC with manual reset input, 9 selectable supply thresholds (12V to 1V + 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 systems for reliable power-up sequencing and fault recovery.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2918IMS-A1#TRPBF datasheet, LTC2918IMS-A1#TRPBF pinout, LTC2918IMS-A1#TRPBF application, or LTC2918IMS-A1#TRPBF equivalent, this page provides verified functional specifications, validated pin-level circuit roles, confirmed automotive-grade operating range (–40°C to 85°C), and real-world timing behavior including internal 200ms reset timeout and 1.6s watchdog upper boundary - all directly traceable to the LTC2918-A family datasheet (29178fb).
Technical Context
The LTC2918IMS-A1#TRPBF implements a dual-timer architecture: an internal 200ms reset timeout (RT = VCC) and a 1.6s watchdog upper boundary (WT = VCC), both independent of external components. Its VM comparator uses a precision bandgap reference and glitch-filtered input stage, ensuring reliable detection of sustained undervoltage events while rejecting transients shorter than 10μs at 5% threshold deviation.
As an A1 variant, it supports standard (non-windowed) watchdog operation and fixed –5% tolerance - distinguishing it from B1 versions. The MR pin features a 100kΩ internal pull-up, enabling direct push-button interface without external biasing, and RST is open-drain with guaranteed low-voltage operation down to VCC ≥ 0.8V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Range | 1.5V to 5.5V - powers directly from logic rails; shunt regulation enables operation up to 12V with series resistor. |
| Threshold Accuracy | ±1.5% over –40°C to 85°C - ensures trip point remains outside nominal supply tolerance band (e.g., 5V ±10%) across full temp range. |
| Reset Timeout | 200ms (internal, RT = VCC) - provides stable deassertion delay after VM recovery, preventing premature MCU release. |
| Watchdog Upper Boundary | 1.6s (internal, WT = VCC) - defines maximum allowed WDI toggle interval before system reset initiation. |
| Quiescent Current | 30μA typical - enables integration into always-on subsystems without significant battery drain. |
| VM Input Impedance | 0.5–8MΩ - high-impedance monitoring minimizes loading on sensitive power rails or resistive dividers. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to 85°C (I-grade) - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial embedded environments. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 10-Lead MSOP (3mm × 3mm), RoHS-compliant, moisture-sensitive level 1. Pin 1 marked by dot; exposed pad optional for thermal enhancement or GND connection.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND | Ground Reference | Primary return path for internal comparators, timers, and RST driver; must be low-impedance connection. |
| MR | Manual Reset Input | Active-low input with 100kΩ internal pull-up; asserts RST for one reset timeout when pulled low - enables hardware-initiated recovery. |
| 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; compares against selected threshold; supports adjustable mode via external divider to 0.5V reference. |
| RST | Open-Drain Reset Output | Asserts low during undervoltage or reset timeout; requires external pull-up; compatible with wired-OR multi-supervisor configurations. |
| RT | Reset Timeout Control | Configures reset duration: open = ~400μs, VCC = ~200ms, capacitor-to-GND = adjustable (9ms/nF scaling). |
| WT | Watchdog Timer Control | Configures watchdog upper boundary: open = ~3.2ms, VCC = ~1.6s, capacitor-to-GND = adjustable (72ms/nF scaling). |
| WDI | Watchdog Input | Edge-triggered input (falling edge only for B versions); toggling within watchdog window prevents RST assertion. |
| VCC | Power Supply Input | Accepts 1.5–5.5V directly; includes 6.2V shunt regulator for >5.7V operation with current-limiting resistor. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 9-Select Threshold Architecture | Eliminates external resistor networks for common supply rails (12V/5V/3.3V/1.8V/1.5V/1.2V/1V/ADJ), reducing BOM count and layout complexity. |
| Guaranteed RST at VCC ≥ 0.8V | Ensures valid reset assertion during brown-out conditions where core logic may still be operational but supply is marginal. |
| Glitch Immunity (tUV ≤ 150μs) | Rejects short-duration transients on VM rail - prevents false resets during load switching or EMI events without compromising threshold accuracy. |
| Integrated Shunt Regulator (6.2V) | Enables direct connection to 9–16V automotive batteries using only a single series resistor, avoiding need for external LDO. |
| Manual Reset with Internal Pull-Up | Supports momentary push-button interface with zero external components - simplifies field service and factory test procedures. |
Applications
| Automotive Engine Control Unit (ECU) | Industrial PLC Power Sequencing |

FAQ
What is the guaranteed operating temperature range for the LTC2918IMS-A1#TRPBF?
The LTC2918IMS-A1#TRPBF is rated for –40°C to 85°C (I-grade), fully specified across this range for all key parameters including threshold accuracy (±1.5%), reset timeout (200ms), and quiescent current (30μA typical). This makes it suitable for under-dash automotive modules and industrial control cabinets without derating.
Does the LTC2918IMS-A1#TRPBF support windowed watchdog functionality?
No - the LTC2918IMS-A1#TRPBF is an A1 version and implements standard (non-windowed) watchdog operation. It requires only that the WDI pin be toggled before the upper boundary (1.6s when WT = VCC) expires. Windowed watchdog (with lower boundary enforcement) is exclusive to B1 variants like LTC2918IMS-B1#TRPBF.
How does the manual reset (MR) pin behave on the LTC2918IMS-A1#TRPBF?
The MR pin on the LTC2918IMS-A1#TRPBF is active-low with a 100kΩ internal pull-up to VCC. When pulled low (e.g., by a push button to GND), it immediately asserts RST for one full reset timeout period (200ms if RT = VCC), then releases RST. No external pull-up is required.
Can the LTC2918IMS-A1#TRPBF monitor a 12V supply directly?
Yes - the LTC2918IMS-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, while VM monitors the 12V rail directly with SEL1/SEL2 set to VCC/VCC for 12V–5% (11.4V) threshold.
What is the minimum VCC voltage required for valid RST assertion on the LTC2918IMS-A1#TRPBF?
The LTC2918IMS-A1#TRPBF guarantees RST assertion for VCC ≥ 0.8V, meaning it will drive RST low during power-up as soon as the supply reaches 0.8V - well before most MCUs exit their internal reset state. This ensures early and reliable reset signaling even during severe brown-out conditions.
