Product details
Overview
LTC2966CSW#PBF from Analog Devices is a micropower dual-channel high-voltage voltage monitor IC designed for system-level power supervision. It monitors two independent input voltages (VINA, VINB) up to 100V with ±1.4% threshold accuracy over temperature, 7µA quiescent current, and 100V-rated open-drain outputs. It enables precise undervoltage/overvoltage detection in telecom power supplies and industrial DC bus monitoring.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2966CSW#PBF datasheet, LTC2966CSW#PBF pinout, LTC2966CSW#PBF application, or LTC2966CSW#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 20-lead SOIC-Wide package, 40x scaling range capability, built-in hysteresis configuration via INH/INL grounding, polarity-selectable outputs, and internal 2.4V reference with 140µVRMS noise.
Technical Context
The LTC2966CSW#PBF integrates two independent high-voltage comparator channels, each with programmable 5x/10x/20x/40x internal resistive dividers and dual reference inputs (INHA/INLA, INHB/INLB) for rising/falling threshold definition. Thresholds are scaled by range-select pins (RS1A/RS2A, RS1B/RS2B) and referenced to an on-chip 2.402V buffered reference.
Each channel features polarity-selectable outputs (via PSA/PSB), 100V-tolerant open-drain outputs with internal 500kΩ pull-up to an internally generated 3.5–5V rail, and configurable built-in hysteresis (14–30mV) activated by grounding INH or INL. Supply current is drawn from the higher of VINA or VINB, with UVLO active below 3V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Operating Voltage Range | 3.5V to 100V on VINA/VINB - supports direct monitoring of 48V telecom, 24V industrial, and 98V battery systems without external level-shifting. |
| Quiescent Current | 7µA typical - enables multi-year battery life in portable and remote sensor applications. |
| Threshold Accuracy | ±1.4% max over –40°C to 125°C - ensures reliable trip points across automotive and industrial ambient conditions. |
| Reference Voltage | 2.402V ±12mV - provides stable low-noise (140µVRMS) bias for external resistor networks setting INH/INL thresholds. |
| Output Rating | 100V absolute max on OUTA/OUTB - allows direct connection to high-side rails up to 98V with no external protection required. |
| Propagation Delay | 40–80µs at 10% overdrive - supports fast fault response in hot-swap and power sequencing circuits. |
| Input Leakage | ±0.1nA max on INH/INL - minimizes error in high-impedance threshold dividers using >1MΩ resistors. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 20-Lead Plastic Small Outline (Wide, 0.300 inch), RoHS-compliant, operating temperature range 0°C to 70°C (C-grade).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VINA | Channel A high-voltage monitor input | Internally connected to 70MΩ resistive divider; supplies internal bias rail when ≥ VINB; must exceed 3.5V for full functionality. |
| NC | No-connect | Pins 2, 4, 12, 14 are unconnected - must be left floating or tied to GND per layout guidelines. |
| OUTA | Channel A status output | Open-drain, 100V-rated; includes internal 500kΩ pull-up to internal 3.5–5V rail; polarity controlled by PSA. |
| REF | 2.402V buffered reference output | Supplies precision bias for external INH/INL resistor networks; max load 100µA; bypass with ≤1nF capacitor. |
| INHA / INLA | Channel A comparator reference inputs | Set rising/falling thresholds via external resistive divider; valid common-mode range 0.35–2.45V; grounding either enables built-in hysteresis. |
| RS1A / RS2A | Channel A range select inputs | Binary-coded pins (L/L = 5x, H/L = 10x, L/H = 20x, H/H = 40x) configuring internal divider attenuation for VINA monitoring. |
| PSA | Channel A polarity select | Connect to REF (>1.4V) for inverting output (OUTA low on overvoltage); connect to GND for noninverting (OUTA low on undervoltage). |
| VINB | Channel B high-voltage monitor input | Secondary monitor input; lower priority than VINA for internal supply generation; supports independent 48V/24V monitoring. |
| GND | Device ground | Primary return path; exposed pad (not present in SW package) is optional in QFN variant only. |
| INHB / INLB | Channel B comparator reference inputs | Functionally identical to INHA/INLA; used to configure independent thresholds for VINB. |
| RS1B / RS2B | Channel B range select inputs | Independent binary control for VINB's internal divider scaling (5x/10x/20x/40x). |
| PSB | Channel B polarity select | Same logic as PSA; enables independent output polarity for Channel B. |
| OUTB | Channel B status output | Functionally identical to OUTA; supports wire-OR with OUTA for combined fault signaling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent high-voltage monitoring | Simultaneous supervision of two separate DC rails (e.g., 48V primary + 24V backup) with no shared reference dependency. |
| Programmable 40x scaling range | Enables accurate 14–98V monitoring using low-value, high-precision resistors at INH/INL - reduces sensitivity to leakage and noise. |
| Built-in hysteresis activation | Grounding INH or INL selects fixed hysteresis (14–30mV referred to VIN) without external components - simplifies undervoltage lockout design. |
| 100V-rated open-drain outputs | Eliminates need for external level-shifters or MOSFET drivers when interfacing with microcontrollers or FPGAs powered from lower rails. |
| Internal 2.402V reference with low noise | 140µVRMS broadband noise and ±12mV tolerance enable <±0.5% threshold error when paired with 0.1% external resistors. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-channel high-voltage monitoring applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC2965CSW#PBF | Single-channel version; identical pinout except missing INHB/INLB, RS1B/RS2B, PSB, OUTB, VINB - occupies same 20-lead SOIC footprint. | Used where only one high-voltage rail requires supervision; not suitable for dual-rail or redundancy monitoring. | Select LTC2965CSW#PBF when cost-sensitive single-rail monitoring is sufficient and PCB layout reuse is prioritized. |
| MAX6326–MAX6328 series | Fixed-threshold (no INH/INL configuration); 3-pin SOT23 packages; no internal reference; 5.5V max supply; 6V max input. | Limited to low-voltage (≤5.5V) systems; lacks programmability, hysteresis control, and high-voltage capability. | Choose MAX6326–MAX6328 only for simple, low-cost 3.3V/5V supply monitoring - not a functional substitute for LTC2966CSW#PBF's 100V operation. |
Compared with LTC2965CSW#PBF and MAX6326–MAX6328, the LTC2966CSW#PBF uniquely delivers dual independent 100V monitoring with user-configurable thresholds, built-in hysteresis, and an integrated reference - enabling compact, high-accuracy supervision of telecom, industrial, and automotive DC systems without external support components.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage the LTC2966CSW#PBF can monitor?
The LTC2966CSW#PBF supports a maximum input voltage of 100V on VINA and VINB, with absolute maximum ratings extending to 140V. Its internal 70MΩ resistive dividers and high-voltage comparator architecture enable direct monitoring of 48V telecom, 24V industrial, and 98V battery systems without external attenuation. Operation above 100V violates recommended conditions and risks permanent damage.
How does the LTC2966CSW#PBF achieve ±1.4% threshold accuracy over temperature?
The LTC2966CSW#PBF achieves ±1.4% threshold accuracy over –40°C to 125°C through trimmed internal resistive dividers (±0.4% range error), low-offset comparators (±3mV), a tightly regulated 2.402V reference (±12mV), and matched temperature coefficients across its sensing and reference paths. This specification is guaranteed in production testing and applies to all four scaling ranges (5x–40x) under specified load and layout conditions.
Can the LTC2966CSW#PBF monitor two different voltage rails simultaneously?
Yes, the LTC2966CSW#PBF independently monitors VINA and VINB with fully separate configurations: distinct range select (RS1A/RS2A, RS1B/RS2B), polarity select (PSA, PSB), and reference inputs (INHA/INLA, INHB/INLB). This allows simultaneous supervision of, for example, a 48V primary rail and a 24V backup rail - each with unique thresholds, hysteresis, and output logic polarity.
What is the purpose of the REF pin on the LTC2966CSW#PBF?
The REF pin on the LTC2966CSW#PBF provides a buffered 2.402V ±12mV reference output with 140µVRMS noise, used to bias external resistor networks that set INH/INL threshold voltages. It also serves as a logic-high source for RS and PS pins. Loading beyond 100µA degrades accuracy; bypassing with ≤1nF to GND is recommended to maintain stability and noise performance.
Does the LTC2966CSW#PBF require external components to implement hysteresis?
No - the LTC2966CSW#PBF includes selectable built-in hysteresis (14–30mV referred to VIN) activated by grounding either INH (rising-edge hysteresis) or INL (falling-edge hysteresis). This eliminates external hysteresis resistors in basic undervoltage/overvoltage detection. For larger hysteresis, external resistor networks remain supported via the standard INH/INL configuration method.
