Product details
Overview
LTC2936IGN#PBF 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 supply rails (0.2V–5.8V range), offers ±1% threshold accuracy, 7.5µs comparator response, and autonomous fault logging for high-availability server power sequencing.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2936IGN#PBF datasheet, LTC2936IGN#PBF pinout, LTC2936IGN#PBF application, or LTC2936IGN#PBF equivalent, this device supports precise multi-rail supervision in telecom and storage systems where EEPROM-configurable trip points, programmable delay-on-release, and SMBus-compatible ALERT signaling are required.
Technical Context
The LTC2936IGN#PBF implements six independent analog comparators per channel-each configurable for overvoltage (OV) and undervoltage (UV) detection across three input ranges (precision/low/medium) with 4mV/10mV/20mV LSB steps. Thresholds are stored in nonvolatile EEPROM and applied autonomously at power-up without host intervention.
It features two general-purpose inputs (GPI1/GPI2) supporting MR, UVDIS, MARG, WP, or AUXC functions, and three GPIO pins configurable as inputs, open-drain outputs, or weak-pull-up outputs-with programmable polarity, mapping, and delay-on-release (1ms–1.64s). All digital control uses I²C/SMBus at up to 400kHz.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Supervised Channels | 6 independent voltage inputs (V1–V6), each with dual OV/UV thresholds and dedicated open-drain CMP output |
| Threshold Accuracy | ±1% max over –40°C to +85°C for medium-range settings (>3V), enabling tighter system voltage margins |
| Comparator Response | 7.5µs typical with 20 LSB overdrive, ensuring fast fault reaction in high-speed power systems |
| I²C Interface | Standard-mode (10–400kHz) SMBus-compatible interface with 9 selectable slave addresses via ASEL0/ASEL1 |
| Supply Range | VPWR = 3.4V to 13.9V; internal 3.3V regulator (VDD33) with ±2.3% regulation and 10mA current limit |
| EEPROM | 10,000 write cycles / 10-year data retention; stores configuration, fault history snapshot, and user registers |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C (Industrial grade), validated for continuous operation in network server and telecom chassis environments |
Pinout & Package
Package: 24-lead plastic SSOP (GN), 4mm × 5mm footprint, exposed pad not present (QFN variant has exposed GND pad; SSOP does not).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

| GPIO1–GPIO3 | Configurable input/output | Programmable as input, open-drain output, or weak pull-up output; supports mapping, ALERT latching, and delay-on-release (1ms–1.64s) |
| SCL, SDA | I²C serial interface | 400kHz max clock rate; requires external pull-ups; supports SMBus Alert Response Address (0x0C) and Global Address (0x73) |
| VPWR, VDD33, GND | Power supply terminals | VPWR powers internal regulator (3.4–13.9V); VDD33 is regulated 3.3V output (100nF bypass required); GND is common reference |
| ASEL0, ASEL1 | I²C address select | Set one of nine 7-bit slave addresses (0x50–0x5A) by tying to GND, VDD33, or leaving floating |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| EEPROM-based autonomous operation | Configuration and fault history persist across power cycles; no host firmware required for basic supervision |
| 256 programmable thresholds per channel | Enables fine-grained voltage margining and adaptive sequencing in multi-rail FPGA or ASIC power domains |
| Programmable delay-on-release | Eight discrete delay options (1ms–1.64s) per GPIO output prevent chatter during transient recovery |
| Dual-comparator per channel | Independent OV and UV detection per rail allows asymmetric fault windows (e.g., +5%/–10%) for robust brownout handling |
| ALERT output compliance | Single-wire SMBus Alert Response protocol support enables centralized fault polling without dedicated interrupt lines |

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, only manual reset input | Limited to simpler systems requiring basic reset generation-not suitable for multi-rail, field-programmable, or fault-logging use cases | Choose when cost sensitivity outweighs configurability and diagnostic needs |
| TPS389033DSER | Triple supervisor (3 channels), I²C interface, ±1.5% threshold accuracy, no EEPROM, no GPIO flexibility | Supports fewer rails and lacks autonomous operation; requires host to reconfigure after each power cycle | Prefer for compact 3-rail designs where EEPROM persistence and GPIO remapping are unnecessary |
Compared with MAX6816ESE+ and TPS389033DSER, the LTC2936IGN#PBF delivers unique value through its six-channel programmability, EEPROM-backed autonomy, and GPIO versatility-making it the only option among the three capable of replacing discrete supervisors while enabling field-upgradable fault policies in mission-critical infrastructure.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC2936IGN#PBF?
The LTC2936IGN#PBF is rated for –40°C to +85°C (Industrial grade), verified across all electrical specifications including threshold accuracy, EEPROM retention, and I²C timing. This range is explicitly defined in the order information table and confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings section of the datasheet.
Does the LTC2936IGN#PBF require external pull-up resistors on SCL and SDA?
Yes, the LTC2936IGN#PBF requires external pull-up resistors on both SCL and SDA lines, as stated in the Pin Functions section. The internal circuitry does not provide active pull-ups; typical values are 2.2kΩ to 4.7kΩ to VPWR or VDD33, depending on bus capacitance and speed requirements.
Can the LTC2936IGN#PBF monitor sub-1V supplies such as 0.9V or 0.85V?
Yes-the LTC2936IGN#PBF supports the Precision Range (0.2V–1.2V) with 4mV LSB step size, enabling accurate monitoring of 0.9V and 0.85V rails. Threshold accuracy remains ±1% in this range, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table under VERR parameter conditions.
How is EEPROM endurance and data retention guaranteed for the LTC2936IGN#PBF?
The LTC2936IGN#PBF guarantees 10,000 write cycles and 10 years of data retention under normal operating conditions (TJ ≤ 85°C), as documented in the EEPROM Characteristics table. Endurance and retention degrade above 85°C junction temperature, per Note 6 in the datasheet.
Is the LTC2936IGN#PBF pin-compatible with other variants like LTC2936CUFD#PBF?
No-LTC2936IGN#PBF uses a 24-lead SSOP package (GN), while LTC2936CUFD#PBF uses a 24-lead QFN (UFD) with different pinout and thermal pad. Though functionally identical, they are not mechanically interchangeable; PCB layout must match the specific package variant ordered.
