Product details
Overview
LTC2963HUDC-1#PBF from Analog Devices is a quad configurable power supply supervisor IC with watchdog timer, designed for high-reliability monitoring of four independent voltage rails in industrial and automotive systems. It delivers ±0.5% threshold accuracy over –40°C to +125°C, supports selectable –4% and –6% reset thresholds for 1V–5V supplies, and features adjustable reset timeout (12–240 ms) and non-windowed watchdog with initial timeout scaling (1×/8×/64×). It is used in telecom server power sequencing where deterministic brownout response and fail-safe watchdog supervision are critical.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2963HUDC-1#PBF datasheet, LTC2963HUDC-1#PBF pinout, LTC2963HUDC-1#PBF application, or LTC2963HUDC-1#PBF equivalent, key selection considerations include H-grade temperature support, integrated watchdog status output (WDO), RST push-pull/open-drain configurability via DVCC, and precise ±ADJ mode for negative/overvoltage monitoring - all validated for automotive control and network infrastructure designs.
Technical Context
The LTC2963HUDC-1#PBF implements a 4-channel analog comparator bank with per-channel programmable thresholds selected via 4-bit ADC sampling of PG1–PG4 inputs referenced to a 1.195 V buffered bandgap. Each channel supports 16 preset UV/OV/±ADJ modes, with ±0.5% accuracy maintained across temperature by trimming and on-chip reference regulation.
Its watchdog logic operates independently of reset timing: WDI accepts rising/falling edges to clear a capacitor-based timer (CWT), while WDS selects initial timeout scaling (1×/8×/64×) after reset events. RST and WDO outputs are configurable as open-drain (DVCC = GND) or push-pull (DVCC ≥ 1.6 V), with guaranteed low-state operation down to VCC = 1 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2.25 V to 5.5 V - powers core logic and enables operation across standard logic rails including 2.5 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V systems. |
| Threshold Accuracy | ±0.5% over –40°C to +125°C - ensures reliable undervoltage detection without false resets under thermal stress in automotive ECUs. |
| Reset Timeout | 12 ms to 240 ms (via CRT capacitor) or fixed 200 ms (RT tied to VCC) - provides precise power-up delay control for FPGA or microcontroller initialization sequences. |
| Watchdog Upper Timeout | 100 ms/nF (CWT) or fixed 1.6 s (WT tied to VCC) - enables flexible system-level fault recovery timing for real-time embedded firmware. |
| RST Output Type | Configurable push-pull (DVCC ≥ 1.6 V) or open-drain (DVCC = GND) - allows direct interfacing with 1.8 V/3.3 V logic or legacy 5 V reset buses without level shifters. |
| Supply Monitor Inputs | V1–V4 support 1 V, 1.2 V, 1.5 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V, 5 V, or ±ADJ modes - enables simultaneous monitoring of mixed-voltage SoC domains (e.g., core, I/O, analog, DDR). |
| Initial Watchdog Timeout | Selectable via WDS: nominal tWDU, 8×tWDU, or 64×tWDU - accommodates extended boot time for complex processors before watchdog pulse requirements begin. |
Pinout & Package
20-lead 3 mm × 4 mm plastic QFN (UDC package) with exposed pad (Pin 21, optional GND connection). Thermal resistance θJA = 52°C/W, θJC = 6.8°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| RDIS | Reset Disable Input | Pulling low forces RST high during voltage margining tests - avoids unintended processor reset while validating supply tolerance limits. |
| MR | Manual Reset Input | Active-low input with internal 10 µA pull-up - accepts pushbutton or logic signal to trigger immediate system reset independent of monitored voltages. |
| DVCC | Digital Logic Supply | Sets RST/WDO output swing: ≥1.6 V enables push-pull drive to DVCC; GND configures open-drain with internal 6 µA pull-up to VCC. |
| VCC | Analog Core Supply | Primary power input (2.25–5.5 V); powers comparators, reference, and timing circuits - requires 0.1 µF bypass capacitor to GND. |
| RST | Reset Output | Guaranteed low-state down to VCC = 1 V; held low during power-up/brownout and released only after all V1–V4 exceed thresholds + tRST delay. |
| GND | Device Ground | Reference node for all analog and digital circuitry; exposed pad (Pin 21) may be connected to PCB ground for improved thermal performance. |
| REF | Buffered Reference Output | 1.195 V ±12 mV (–40°C to +125°C); drives external resistor dividers for PG1–PG4 programming - stable up to 1000 pF load capacitance. |
| PG1–PG4 | Threshold Select Inputs | Accept ratiometric voltage (0–VREF) to select one of 16 per-channel monitor modes - enables use of 1% resistors while maintaining ±0.5% threshold accuracy. |
| V1–V4 | Monitor Voltage Inputs | High-impedance inputs (±15 nA leakage in ±ADJ mode, 1.2 MΩ in fixed-threshold modes) - tolerate DC bias and transient noise without false triggering. |
| RT | Reset Timeout Capacitor Input | Connects to CRT to set tRST = 12 ms/nF; tie to VCC for fixed 200 ms timeout - eliminates need for external timing ICs in compact power management designs. |
| WDI | Watchdog Input | Edge-triggered (rising/falling) input that clears watchdog timer - must toggle at least once per tWDU to prevent WDO/RST assertion. |
| WDO | Watchdog Output | Open-drain status flag indicating watchdog expiration - latched low until valid WDI edge or undervoltage event occurs. |
| WDS | Initial Watchdog Timeout Select | Three-state input (low/open/high) setting post-reset timeout to 1×/8×/64× tWDU - prevents premature watchdog timeout during processor boot. |
| WT | Watchdog Timeout Capacitor Input | Connects to CWT to set tWDU = 100 ms/nF; tie to VCC for 1.6 s fixed timeout; tie to GND to disable watchdog - full hardware configurability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| ±0.5% Threshold Accuracy Over Temperature | Reduces required system voltage margin by 1% vs ±1% supervisors - enables smaller bulk capacitors and lower nominal supply voltages in space-constrained designs. |
| Non-Windowed Watchdog with Initial Timeout Scaling | Eliminates need for external watchdog ICs while accommodating variable boot times - WDS pin allows safe startup window extension without firmware modification. |
| Configurable RST/WDO Output Drive | DVCC pin selects between push-pull (for fast rise/fall, rail-to-rail logic compatibility) and open-drain (for wired-OR reset buses or level translation) - no external components needed. |
| ±ADJ Mode for Negative/Overvoltage Monitoring | 0.5 V reference enables monitoring of negative rails (e.g., –12 V via resistive divider) or positive overvoltage (e.g., 5 V rail exceeding 5.25 V) using same IC - reduces BOM count. |
| H-Grade Operating Range (–40°C to +125°C) | Validated for under-hood automotive and industrial control environments - eliminates derating or external thermal management in harsh ambient conditions. |
Applications
| Automotive Engine Control Unit (ECU) | Telecom Server Power Sequencing |

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the LTC2963HUDC-1#PBF?
The LTC2963HUDC-1#PBF is rated for –40°C to +125°C (H-grade), verified per manufacturer specifications and qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial control applications. This range is explicitly defined in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table and confirmed in the Order Information section of the datasheet, where "HUDC" denotes the H-temperature grade.
How does the LTC2963HUDC-1#PBF differ from the LTC2962 and LTC2964 variants?
The LTC2963HUDC-1#PBF includes a non-windowed watchdog timer with WDI, WDO, WDS, and WT pins - functionality absent in the LTC2962 (no watchdog) and distinct from the LTC2964 (which provides individual open-drain comparator outputs OUT1–OUT4 instead of RST/WDO). The UDC package (20-lead QFN) and H-grade rating are shared across LTC2963/LTC2964 but not LTC2962 (16-lead QFN).
Can the LTC2963HUDC-1#PBF monitor negative supply voltages?
Yes - the LTC2963HUDC-1#PBF supports –ADJ mode on any channel (V1–V4), comparing the input to a 0.5 V internal reference. When used with an external resistive divider, it accurately monitors negative rails (e.g., –5 V, –12 V) by scaling the negative voltage to a positive value within the 0–0.5 V range at the PG input, as detailed in the Applications Information section.
What is the minimum VCC voltage required for the LTC2963HUDC-1#PBF to assert a valid RST low state?
The LTC2963HUDC-1#PBF guarantees RST output low-state operation down to VCC = 1 V, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table under "Guaranteed RST Output Low (VCC Rising)". This ensures reliable reset assertion during brownout conditions well below nominal supply levels.
How is the initial watchdog timeout configured on the LTC2963HUDC-1#PBF?
The initial watchdog timeout on the LTC2963HUDC-1#PBF is set via the WDS pin: logic low selects nominal tWDU, open circuit selects 8×tWDU, and logic high selects 64×tWDU. This three-state configuration is documented in the Electrical Characteristics table and Pin Functions section, enabling extended startup windows without firmware changes.
