Product details
Overview
LTC2918IMS-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 microcontroller supervision.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2918IMS-B1#TRPBF datasheet, LTC2918IMS-B1#TRPBF pinout, LTC2918IMS-B1#TRPBF application, or LTC2918IMS-B1#TRPBF equivalent, this page provides verified functional specifications, validated pin-level circuit roles, confirmed B1-version windowed watchdog behavior, and real-world design meaning for reset timing, VM threshold selection, and MR push-button interface integration.
Technical Context
The LTC2918IMS-B1#TRPBF implements a dual-stage supervision architecture: a precision comparator monitors VM against one of nine factory-programmed thresholds selected via SEL1/SEL2 three-state inputs, while a windowed watchdog logic block validates WDI falling-edge periodicity between tWDL = 50ms and tWDU = 1.6s (B1 version). Its RST output is open-drain with guaranteed low-voltage operation down to VCC = 0.8V.
It integrates an internal 6.2V shunt regulator on VCC for high-voltage supply compatibility (e.g., 12V automotive rails), supports glitch-immune reset assertion via tUV = 10–150μs input filtering, and features MR with 100kΩ internal pull-up - enabling direct push-button interfacing without external components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Range | 1.5V to 5.5V - powers directly from logic rails; shunt regulation enables use with 12V supplies when series resistor applied. |
| Threshold Accuracy | ±1.5% over –40°C to 85°C - ensures reliable trip point margining outside system supply tolerance bands (e.g., 5V ±10%). |
| Reset Timeout | 200ms (internal, RT tied to VCC) - provides sufficient hold time for microcontroller initialization before release. |
| Watchdog Window | tWDL = 50ms / tWDU = 1.6s (B1 version) - enforces strict timing envelope to detect both stuck and excessively fast WDI toggling. |
| Quiescent Current | 30μA typical - enables long-term battery-backed monitoring in always-on automotive subsystems. |
| VM Input Impedance | 0.5–8MΩ - allows high-impedance resistive divider design for ADJ mode without loading error. |
| MR Input Logic | VIL ≤ 0.2×VCC, VIH ≥ 0.8×VCC with 100kΩ internal pull-up - supports direct connection to momentary switch to GND. |
Pinout & Package
10-Lead MSOP package (3mm × 3mm), exposed pad optional, rated for –40°C to 85°C operation. Pinout validated per LTC2918 MSOP top-view diagram (LTC2918IMS-B1#TRPBF datasheet pg. 2).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND | Ground reference | Primary return path for all internal circuits and RST sink current; must be low-impedance. |
| MR | Manual Reset input | Active-low input with internal 100kΩ pull-up; asserts RST for full tRST period when pulled low. |
| SEL2 | Threshold select bit | Three-state (VCC/GND/open) control pin selecting nominal VM threshold per Table 1; leakage ≤ ±5μA in open state. |
| SEL1 | Threshold select bit | Three-state control pin paired with SEL2 to configure one of nine thresholds including ADJ (0.5V). |
| VM | Monitor input | High-impedance comparator input; compares against selected threshold; supports external divider for ADJ mode. |
| RST | Open-drain reset output | Asserts low during fault or MR event; requires external pull-up; sinks ≥2.5mA at VCC = 3.3V, VOL ≤ 0.4V. |
| RT | Reset timeout control | Tied to VCC for 200ms internal timeout; capacitor to GND sets tRST = 9ms/nF; open = ~400μs. |
| WT | Watchdog timeout control | Tied to VCC for 1.6s internal windowed timeout; capacitor to GND sets tWDU = 72ms/nF; open = ~3.2ms. |
| WDI | Watchdog input | Falling-edge sensitive only (B1); must toggle within 50ms–1.6s window to prevent RST assertion. |
| VCC | Power supply input | Operates 1.5–5.5V; includes 6.2V shunt regulator for >5.7V supplies; bypass with 0.1μF ceramic capacitor. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Windowed watchdog (B1) | Enforces minimum and maximum WDI toggle interval (50ms–1.6s), preventing false resets from noise or software lockup. |
| Manual reset with internal pull-up | Eliminates external resistor for push-button interface; MR remains valid down to VCC = 0.8V. |
| 9-pin-selectable thresholds | Configures 12V/5V/3.3V/2.5V/1.8V/1.5V/1.2V/1.0V/ADJ(0.5V) without external resistors - reduces BOM count and layout area. |
| Guaranteed operation to 125°C (H-grade) | This IMS-B1 variant is rated –40°C to 85°C; H-grade versions support under-hood automotive environments. |
| Glitch-immune comparator | tUV = 10–150μs minimum pulse width required at VM to trigger RST - rejects transients from load switching or EMI. |

FAQ
What is the function of the MR pin on the LTC2918IMS-B1#TRPBF?
The MR (Manual Reset) pin on the LTC2918IMS-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 RST high. This enables direct push-button reset functionality without external components - a key differentiator from the LTC2917 family. The LTC2918IMS-B1#TRPBF guarantees MR validity down to VCC = 0.8V.
How does the windowed watchdog feature work in the LTC2918IMS-B1#TRPBF?
The LTC2918IMS-B1#TRPBF implements a true windowed watchdog: WDI falling edges must occur strictly between tWDL = 50ms and tWDU = 1.6s (B1 version) to avoid RST assertion. Edges arriving too soon (<50ms) or too late (>1.6s) trigger reset. Unlike standard watchdogs, this prevents both software lockup and excessive toggling - critical for ASIL-B automotive compliance. The LTC2918IMS-B1#TRPBF ignores rising edges entirely; only falling edges are monitored.
Can the LTC2918IMS-B1#TRPBF monitor a 12V supply directly?
Yes - the LTC2918IMS-B1#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) must be placed between the 12V source and VCC to limit input current to ≤5mA. The VM pin then monitors the 12V rail directly (SEL1 = SEL2 = VCC), asserting RST if voltage drops below 11.22V (12V –5% ±1.5%). This eliminates need for external regulators in automotive applications.
What are the exact threshold voltages supported by the LTC2918IMS-B1#TRPBF?
The LTC2918IMS-B1#TRPBF supports nine nominal thresholds: 12V, 5V, 3.3V, 2.5V, 1.8V, 1.5V, 1.2V, 1.0V, and ADJ (0.5V). With fixed –5% tolerance and ±1.5% accuracy, actual trip points are tightly bounded - e.g., 5V threshold = 4.675V ±75mV (4.600V–4.750V) over –40°C to 85°C. Thresholds are selected exclusively via SEL1/SEL2 three-state inputs (VCC/GND/open); no external resistors needed. The LTC2918IMS-B1#TRPBF does not support –10% or –15% tolerances (only LTC2917 does).
How do I configure the LTC2918IMS-B1#TRPBF for a custom 2.8V supply monitor?
To monitor 2.8V with the LTC2918IMS-B1#TRPBF, use the ADJ (0.5V) mode: connect VM to a resistive divider between the 2.8V rail and GND, sized so VM = 0.5V at nominal 2.8V. Select R1 = 100kΩ (typical), then R2 = R1 × (2 × 2.8 – 1) ≈ 460kΩ. This yields a trip point of 2.8V ±6.5% (accounting for ±1.5% IC accuracy + –5% tolerance), ensuring reliable detection below 2.61V. The LTC2918IMS-B1#TRPBF's high-impedance VM input (0.5–8MΩ) minimizes divider current error.
