Product details
Overview
LTC2936CGN#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a programmable hex voltage supervisor IC with integrated EEPROM, I²C interface, and six comparator outputs. It monitors up to six independent power rails (0.2V–5.8V range), offers ±1% threshold accuracy, 7.5µs comparator response, and autonomous fault logging-used in telecom server power sequencing and FPGA supply monitoring.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2936CGN#TRPBF datasheet, LTC2936CGN#TRPBF pinout, LTC2936CGN#TRPBF application, or LTC2936CGN#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include I²C-configurable UV/OV thresholds per channel, programmable GPIO delay-on-release (1ms–1.64s), EEPROM-backed fault history, and dual-supply operation (VPWR: 3.4V–13.9V, VDD33: 3.3V regulator).
Technical Context
The LTC2936CGN#TRPBF implements six independent analog comparators with user-selectable precision/low/medium input ranges, each supporting separate overvoltage and undervoltage trip points programmed via I²C. Threshold resolution is 4mV (precision), 10mV (low), or 20mV (medium) per LSB, with guaranteed ±1% accuracy in the medium range for Vn > 3V.
It integrates a 3.3V internal regulator (VDD33), supports SMBus-compatible I²C at up to 400kHz, and features three configurable GPIOs with open-drain or weak-pull-up output modes, plus two GPI inputs assignable to MR/UVDIS/MARG/WP/AUXC functions. Fault status and history are stored in nonvolatile EEPROM with 10-year retention and 10,000-cycle endurance.
Key Specifications

Applications
| Telecom Power Sequencing | Server Board Management |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Monitoring 12V, 5V, 3.3V, 1.8V, 1.2V, and 0.9V rails in a 1RU telecom switch with strict startup/shutdown sequencing. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Hex supervisor provides independent OV/UV detection per rail, triggers sequenced resets via CMP outputs, and logs brownout events to EEPROM. Use Value: Eliminates discrete supervisor ICs and external timing components; reduces BOM count by 6× while enabling post-fault diagnostics via I²C-readable history. |
Use Scenario: Real-time voltage health monitoring across CPU, memory, and PCIe power domains in an x86 server motherboard. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Configured with GPIO1 as ALERT output and GPIO2/3 as fault-triggered reset signals; GPI1 used as manual reset input. Use Value: Enables BMC-initiated corrective action (e.g., throttling or shutdown) within <10µs of rail deviation, meeting IPMI 2.0 watchdog timing requirements. |
| FPGA Configuration Integrity | Industrial PLC Power Supervision |
|
Use Scenario: Ensuring stable 1.2V core, 2.5V I/O, and 3.3V auxiliary supplies before releasing FPGA configuration reset. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Uses V1–V3 for rail monitoring, CMP1–CMP3 to drive FPGA PROG_B and INIT_B lines, and EEPROM to retain last-fault signature. Use Value: Prevents partial configuration and bitstream corruption by enforcing strict voltage-valid window prior to configuration start. |
Use Scenario: Supervising redundant 24V DC inputs, isolated 5V logic, and 3.3V microcontroller rails in an industrial PLC with extended temperature operation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: GPI2 configured as margin test input; GPIO3 set as open-drain fault output tied to PLC safety controller. Use Value: Supports functional safety diagnostics (IEC 61508) via programmable margin testing and deterministic fault response with <1ms latency. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6816ESE+ | Quad supervisor (4 channels), no EEPROM, fixed thresholds, no I²C interface | Limited to simpler systems requiring only basic reset generation without logging or reconfiguration | Choose when cost sensitivity outweighs configurability needs and system has ≤4 rails |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Single-channel supervisor, 3.3V fixed threshold, no I²C, no EEPROM, 350ms reset timeout | Suitable only for dedicated 3.3V rail monitoring; lacks multi-rail coordination and fault history | Use where only one supply requires supervision and deterministic fixed-delay reset suffices |
Compared with MAX6816ESE+ and TPS3808G33DBVR, the LTC2936CGN#TRPBF delivers six-channel programmability, autonomous EEPROM-based fault retention, and I²C reconfigurability-making it uniquely suited for complex, serviceable infrastructure equipment where diagnostic traceability and field-upgradable supervision logic are required.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC2936CGN#TRPBF?
The LTC2936CGN#TRPBF is rated for 0°C to +70°C ambient operation (Commercial grade). This specification is confirmed in the Order Information table and Electrical Characteristics section of the official datasheet. The device uses the GN package variant (24-lead SSOP) but the #TRPBF suffix indicates the QFN (UFD) package with tape-and-reel delivery-both C-grade versions share the same temperature range. Derating applies above 85°C for EEPROM retention.
Does the LTC2936CGN#TRPBF require external pull-up resistors on SDA and SCL lines?
Yes, the LTC2936CGN#TRPBF requires external pull-up resistors on both SDA and SCL lines, as explicitly stated in the Pin Functions section. The internal circuitry does not provide active pull-ups for these I²C bus lines. Recommended values depend on bus capacitance and speed; typical designs use 2.2kΩ to 4.7kΩ pull-ups to VPWR or VDD33, consistent with SMBus 400kHz timing requirements.
Can the LTC2936CGN#TRPBF monitor sub-1V supplies like 0.85V or 0.9V?
Yes, the LTC2936CGN#TRPBF supports monitoring down to 0.2V in its precision range (4mV step size), fully covering 0.85V and 0.9V rails. The datasheet specifies VRANGE = 0.2V–1.2V (precision), 0.5V–3V (low), and 1V–5.8V (medium), with VERR = ±1% accuracy applicable to the precision range for 0.6V < Vn < 1.2V. This makes it suitable for modern FPGA core and ASIC I/O supply supervision.
How is fault history preserved after power loss in the LTC2936CGN#TRPBF?
Fault history is preserved after power loss via the internal EEPROM in the LTC2936CGN#TRPBF. The HISTORY_WORD register contents and first-fault snapshot (BACKUP_WORD) are automatically written to EEPROM upon fault occurrence. This nonvolatile storage retains data for ≥10 years and survives ≥10,000 write cycles, enabling post-mortem analysis without host intervention or backup power.
What package type does the LTC2936CGN#TRPBF use?
The LTC2936CGN#TRPBF uses the 24-lead (4mm × 5mm) plastic QFN package (UFD), with exposed thermal pad (Pin 25) connected to GND. This is confirmed in the Order Information table, where "LTC2936CUFD#TRPBF" maps to the UFD package and "C" grade (0°C to +70°C). The "GN" in the part number refers to the base family, not the SSOP package variant.
