Product details
Overview
LTC2928IUHF#PBF 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, provides 1.5% undervoltage monitoring accuracy across V1–V4 inputs, supports cascaded configurations for unlimited supply control, and integrates charge-pumped EN outputs (VCC + 5.5V) for driving N-channel MOSFETs - used in telecom infrastructure power management systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2928IUHF#PBF datasheet, LTC2928IUHF#PBF pinout, LTC2928IUHF#PBF application, or LTC2928IUHF#PBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its –40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range, 38-lead 5mm × 7mm QFN package, configurable sequence timing via RT/STMR/PTMR/RTMR pins, and fault-diagnostic reporting via CMP/FLT pins.
Technical Context
The LTC2928IUHF#PBF implements a state-machine-based sequencing engine with independent time-position decoding per channel (RT1–RT4), dual-phase operation (sequence-up and sequence-down), and integrated timers: STMR sets inter-supply delay (8.67 ms/µF), PTMR enforces power-good timeout (4 ms/µF), and RTMR configures reset assertion delay (4 ms/µF). All comparators operate with ±18 mV threshold accuracy over temperature.
It features a high-voltage input (HVCC: 7.2–16.5 V) with internal 3.3 V regulator for VCC, buffered REF output for negative supply monitoring, and OVA-biased overvoltage detection. Fault management includes latchable CMP outputs, FLT-driven system shutdown, and MS1/MS2-configurable RST–FLT coupling and debug modes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2.9 V to 6 V - powers core logic; regulated from HVCC when used. |
| HVCC Range | 7.2 V to 16.5 V - enables direct connection to 12 V rails without external regulators. |
| Undervoltage Accuracy | ±1.5% - ensures reliable reset assertion across V1–V4 at 0.5 V nominal threshold. |
| EN Output Voltage | VCC + 5.5 V (typ.) - sufficient gate drive for standard N-channel MOSFETs without level shifters. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial and telecom infrastructure environments. |
| Package | 38-lead 5 mm × 7 mm QFN - exposes thermal pad for enhanced power dissipation (θJA = 34°C/W). |
| Sequence Channels | 4 independent - each with configurable time position, UV/OV thresholds, and enable polarity. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 38-lead plastic QFN (5 mm × 7 mm), exposed thermal pad (pin 39), RoHS-compliant, lead-free finish (PBF).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| EN1–EN4 | Charge-pumped enable outputs | Drive N-channel MOSFET gates at VCC + 5.5 V; sink 2.5 mA low; support external pass-FET control. |
| V1–V4 | High-impedance voltage monitor inputs | Accept resistor-divided supply voltages; support 3 positive + 1 negative (V1 w/ REF) configuration when VSEL = VCC. |
| RT1–RT4 | Time-position configuration inputs | Each connects to VCC via resistor to select one of eight sequence positions (0–7); ground disables channel. |
| CAS | Cascade input/output | Chains multiple LTC2928s; master pulls CAS high after ON edge; slaves trigger next time position on CAS rising edge. |
| FLT | Fault status I/O | Pulled low on internal/external fault (OV, UV timeout, command error); latches until all supplies return below sequence-down thresholds. |
| CMP1–CMP4 | Comparator status outputs | Indicate per-channel UV condition during monitoring phase; latch during fault for diagnostic readout. |
| RST | Microprocessor reset output | Pulls low if any monitored supply falls below UV threshold; asserts high only after all supplies remain above threshold for RTMR delay. |
| REF | Buffered reference output | Provides 1.189 V (typ.) reference for negative supply monitoring on V1; sources 1 mA, sinks 200 µA. |
| STMR/PTMR/RTMR | Capacitor-timed control inputs | Set sequence delay (8.67 ms/µF), power-good timeout (4 ms/µF), and reset delay (4 ms/µF) using external capacitors to GND. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Cascadable 4-channel sequencing | Unlimited supply count via CAS chaining; no software or PCB changes required for scaling. |
| 1.5% UV monitor accuracy | Guaranteed over –40°C to +85°C; eliminates need for calibration in precision power-rail supervision. |
| VCC + 5.5 V charge-pumped EN outputs | Directly drives standard N-channel MOSFETs without external gate drivers or level shifters. |
| Fault diagnostics with latchable CMP outputs | Identifies exact failing channel and fault type (UV, OV, timeout, command) without external logic. |
| Configurable sequence-up/down thresholds | SQT1/SQT2 select 10%/33%/67%/100% of threshold - supports asymmetric ramp-up/ramp-down profiles. |
| High-voltage HVCC input (up to 16.5 V) | Enables single-supply operation from 12 V backplanes; internal regulator delivers stable 3.3 V to VCC. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS65400PWPR | Integrated quad-buck controller + sequencer; no HVCC input; max VCC = 5.5 V; lower UV accuracy (±2.5%). | Best for compact, cost-sensitive designs where DC/DC regulation and sequencing are co-located on same die. | Choose TPS65400PWPR when integrating regulation and sequencing saves board space, but avoid if HVCC > 6 V or ±1.5% UV accuracy is mandatory. |
| ADM1166ACPZ | 12-channel PMBus-configurable sequencer/supervisor; requires I²C host; supports digital margining; no charge-pump EN outputs. | Preferred for systems needing remote configuration, telemetry, and dynamic reprogramming of sequencing profiles. | Choose ADM1166ACPZ when firmware-controlled flexibility and telemetry outweigh need for autonomous, pin-strapped operation. |
Compared with TPS65400PWPR and ADM1166ACPZ, the LTC2928IUHF#PBF offers superior analog accuracy, autonomous operation without microcontroller dependency, and native high-voltage interface - making it optimal for robust, standalone, high-reliability power sequencing in industrial and telecom equipment.

FAQ
What is the maximum number of power supplies that can be sequenced using LTC2928IUHF#PBF?
The LTC2928IUHF#PBF supports unlimited supply sequencing through cascading: a single device controls up to four supplies, and multiple LTC2928IUHF#PBF units connect via the CAS pin to extend sequencing capacity across arbitrary numbers of rails without software or layout changes.
Does LTC2928IUHF#PBF support negative voltage monitoring?
Yes - the LTC2928IUHF#PBF supports one negative supply monitoring channel on V1 when VSEL is tied to VCC; the buffered REF output (1.189 V) serves as the reference for the V1 divider, enabling accurate supervision of –1.2 V, –2.5 V, or –3.3 V rails.
What is the purpose of the RDIS pin on LTC2928IUHF#PBF?
The RDIS pin on LTC2928IUHF#PBF forces the RST output high regardless of supply conditions - enabling voltage margin testing by holding the system in reset while adjusting rail voltages, then releasing RST to verify functional behavior at boundary limits.
Can LTC2928IUHF#PBF drive N-channel MOSFETs directly?
Yes - the LTC2928IUHF#PBF integrates a charge pump that delivers EN1–EN4 outputs at VCC + 5.5 V (typ.), providing sufficient gate-source voltage to fully enhance standard N-channel MOSFETs used as high-side pass devices without external level shifters or drivers.
How does fault reporting work on LTC2928IUHF#PBF?
Fault reporting on LTC2928IUHF#PBF uses latched CMP1–CMP4 outputs: during a fault (UV timeout, OV, command error), each comparator holds its state indicating which supply failed and whether it was undervoltage or overvoltage; FLT pulls low to initiate system shutdown, and status remains readable until cleared via return-to-zero sequence.
