Product details
Overview
LTC2928CG#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a four-channel cascadable power supply sequencer and high-accuracy supervisor IC. It performs staged enable/disable sequencing of up to four supplies per device, monitors undervoltage (±1.5% accuracy) and overvoltage conditions, and generates µP reset signals. Used in telecom infrastructure for controlled ramp-up/ramp-down of I/O and core voltages.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2928CG#TRPBF datasheet, LTC2928CG#TRPBF pinout, LTC2928CG#TRPBF application, or LTC2928CG#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include cascading capability for >4 supplies, charge-pumped EN outputs driving N-channel MOSFETs, configurable sequence timing via RT/STMR/PTMR pins, and fault-diagnostic reporting via CMP/FLT pins.
Technical Context
The LTC2928CG#TRPBF implements a state-machine-based sequencing engine with independent time-position control per channel using external resistors on RT1–RT4. Its internal charge pump delivers VCC + 5.5V at EN1–EN4, enabling direct drive of N-channel pass FETs without level-shifting circuitry.
Supervision uses precision comparators with 1.5% threshold accuracy across –40°C to 85°C, supporting both positive and negative supply monitoring (via REF/VSEL). Fault management includes latched CMP outputs, system-wide shutdown on internal/external faults, and diagnostic reporting through FLT/CMP pin states.
Key Specifications

| HVCC Range | 7.2V to 16.5V - enables single-rail high-voltage biasing without auxiliary supply |
| EN Output Voltage | VCC + 5.5V typical - sufficient gate drive for standard N-channel MOSFETs |
| UV Monitor Accuracy | ±1.5% over full temperature range - ensures reliable reset assertion across operating conditions |
| Sequence Timing Resolution | 8.67ms/µF on STMR - allows precise inter-supply delays from ~100µs to seconds |

| Package | 36-lead SSOP (5.3mm) - surface-mount compatible with standard PCB assembly |
Pinout & Package
Package: 36-lead plastic SSOP (5.3mm × 11.2mm), RoHS-compliant, lead-free finish.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar power supply sequencing and supervision applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS659122ZQWR | Integrated PMIC with buck/boost regulators; sequencer is embedded, not standalone | Requires redesign for regulator replacement; no cascading support beyond single-chip limits | Select when board space is constrained and regulation + sequencing must be co-located |
| MAX16050AEEE+ | Four-channel sequencer with 0.8% UV accuracy; no charge-pump EN outputs - requires external level shifters for N-FETs | Limited to 5.5V max EN drive; unsuitable for high-side N-FETs above 6V supply rails | Select when higher UV accuracy is critical and gate drive voltage ≤ 5.5V suffices |
Compared with TPS659122ZQWR and MAX16050AEEE+, the LTC2928CG#TRPBF uniquely combines cascadable architecture, VCC+5.5V charge-pumped EN outputs, and diagnostic CMP latching - making it optimal for systems requiring scalable, hardware-only sequencing with field-serviceable fault diagnosis.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC2928CG#TRPBF?
The LTC2928CG#TRPBF is specified for commercial temperature operation from 0°C to 70°C. This range is confirmed in the Order Information table of the datasheet, where "CG" denotes the commercial grade variant. The device uses internal thermal compensation to maintain ±1.5% undervoltage monitor accuracy across this full range.
How does the LTC2928CG#TRPBF drive N-channel MOSFETs without external level shifters?
The LTC2928CG#TRPBF integrates a charge pump that generates VCC + 5.5V at EN1–EN4 outputs. This voltage exceeds the gate threshold of standard N-channel MOSFETs (e.g., Si7894ADP) even when VCC = 3.3V, delivering ~8.8V gate drive - sufficient to fully enhance logic-level and standard-level devices without external circuitry.
Can the LTC2928CG#TRPBF monitor negative voltage rails?
Yes. When VSEL is tied to VCC, the LTC2928CG#TRPBF configures V1 as a negative rail input referenced to the buffered REF output (1.189V typical). This allows monitoring of rails such as –5V or –3.3V using a resistive divider from V1 to REF, enabling true bipolar supply supervision in a single device.
What happens to EN outputs during a fault condition on the LTC2928CG#TRPBF?
Upon detection of any internal or external fault (e.g., PTMR timeout, OV assertion, or command fault), the LTC2928CG#TRPBF immediately pulls all EN1–EN4 outputs low. This action disables all controlled supplies synchronously, preventing cascading failures. The FLT pin also pulls low to signal the fault event to upstream controllers.
How is sequencing timing configured on the LTC2928CG#TRPBF?
Sequencing timing is set using three external capacitors: STMR sets inter-supply delay (8.67ms/µF), PTMR sets power-good timeout (4ms/µF), and RTMR sets reset assertion delay (4ms/µF). Each EN output's relative timing position is selected independently via resistor values on RT1–RT4, offering eight discrete positions per channel.
