Product details
Overview
LTC2966CUD#PBF from Analog Devices is a micropower dual-channel high-voltage voltage monitor IC designed for precise undervoltage/overvoltage supervision in systems with rails up to 100V. It features two independent monitoring channels (A/B), ±1.4% max threshold accuracy over temperature, 7µA quiescent current, and 100V-rated open-drain outputs with internal 500kΩ pull-up. It is used in telecom power supplies to detect 48V and 24V rail faults before system reset or shutdown.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2966CUD#PBF datasheet, LTC2966CUD#PBF pinout, LTC2966CUD#PBF application, or LTC2966CUD#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include input voltage range (3.5V–100V), adjustable threshold scaling (5x/10x/20x/40x), built-in hysteresis configuration, polarity-selectable outputs, and QFN-16 package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The LTC2966CUD#PBF integrates two independent high-voltage comparator channels, each with programmable internal resistive dividers (5x–40x) 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 a buffered 2.402V internal reference (±0.5% initial accuracy).
Each output (OUTA/OUTB) is a 100V-tolerant active-pull-down stage with gated 500kΩ internal pull-up to an internally regulated 3.5V–5V rail; polarity is configurable via PSA/PSB pins. The device enters UVLO below 3V on either VINA or VINB, forcing both outputs low regardless of polarity setting.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Range | 3.5V to 100V on VINA or VINB - supports direct monitoring of telecom, industrial, and automotive battery rails without external level-shifting. |
| Quiescent Current | 7µA typical - enables always-on supervision in battery-powered equipment with multi-year runtime. |
| Threshold Accuracy | ±1.4% max over –40°C to 125°C - ensures reliable trip points across thermal stress without calibration. |
| Output Rating | 100V absolute max on OUTA/OUTB - allows direct connection to high-side rails up to 98V with external pull-up. |
| Internal Reference | 2.402V ±0.5% (initial), 140µVRMS noise - provides stable bias for external resistor networks setting INH/INL thresholds. |
| Hysteresis Options | Built-in (14–30mV, range-scaled) or external - eliminates oscillation near threshold without adding external components. |
| Propagation Delay | 40–80µs (10x range, 10% overdrive) - enables fast fault response while avoiding false triggers from transient noise. |

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent monitoring channels | Enables simultaneous supervision of primary and backup rails (e.g., 48V + 24V) or over/undervoltage detection on one rail. |
| Programmable 5x/10x/20x/40x scaling | Allows precise threshold setting from 1.75V to 98V using low-value, low-tolerance external resistors at safe low voltages. |
| Built-in hysteresis (14–30mV) | Eliminates chatter during slow-rising/falling transitions without external RC networks; selectable per channel via INH/INL grounding. |
| 100V-rated outputs with internal pull-up | Reduces BOM count by eliminating external pull-up resistors in many applications; supports wire-OR of OUTA/OUTB. |
| UVLO protection with forced low outputs | Guarantees fail-safe behavior: both outputs go low if either input drops below 3V, preventing undefined logic states. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-channel high-voltage voltage monitor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6805US29D3+T | Single-channel, fixed 2.93V threshold, no range scaling, 5.5V max supply | Only suitable for low-voltage (≤5.5V) rail monitoring; lacks dual-channel flexibility and high-voltage capability | Select only for cost-sensitive, single-rail 3.3V/5V systems where scalability and high-voltage tolerance are unnecessary. |
| TPS3897ADRYR | Dual-channel, 1.2V–5.5V supply, 1.2V–3.3V adjustable thresholds, no >10V monitoring support | Designed for low-power MCU supervision; cannot monitor 24V/48V rails directly without external resistive dividers and level shifters | Choose when supervising sub-5V logic rails with tight accuracy (±0.5%) but avoid for high-voltage applications requiring integrated scaling. |
Compared with MAX6805US29D3+T and TPS3897ADRYR, the LTC2966CUD#PBF uniquely combines dual-channel operation, 100V input tolerance, programmable scaling, and micropower consumption-making it the only option capable of direct, accurate, and self-contained supervision of telecom and industrial DC rails without external active circuitry.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC2966CUD#PBF?
The LTC2966CUD#PBF is rated for 0°C to 70°C ambient operation. This commercial-grade variant uses the 16-lead 3mm × 3mm QFN package (UD) and is optimized for applications like telecom line cards and industrial controllers where extended temperature coverage is not required. Its specifications-including ±1.4% threshold accuracy and 7µA quiescent current-are guaranteed across this full range.
Can the LTC2966CUD#PBF monitor two different voltage rails simultaneously?
Yes, the LTC2966CUD#PBF monitors two independent voltage rails via VINA and VINB inputs. Each channel has dedicated range select (RS1A/RS2A, RS1B/RS2B), polarity (PSA/PSB), and reference (INHA/INLA, INHB/INLB) pins, allowing fully separate configuration-for example, 48V undervoltage detection on Channel A and 24V overvoltage detection on Channel B-without shared components or interaction.
How does the built-in hysteresis work on the LTC2966CUD#PBF?
The LTC2966CUD#PBF implements built-in hysteresis by grounding either INHA (for rising-edge hysteresis) or INLA (for falling-edge hysteresis); the magnitude (14–30mV) scales with the selected range (5x–40x). When INLA is grounded, the falling threshold becomes RANGE × VHYS below the rising threshold set by INHA-eliminating external hysteresis resistors while maintaining precise, temperature-stable trip margins.
Is an external pull-up resistor required for the OUTA and OUTB pins of the LTC2966CUD#PBF?
No external pull-up is required: the LTC2966CUD#PBF includes an internal 500kΩ pull-up to an internally regulated 3.5V–5V rail. However, if the output must be pulled to a higher voltage (e.g., 48V or 98V), an external resistor can be added-the internal pull-up automatically disables when the external voltage exceeds VOH (~2.5V). This design reduces BOM count while preserving flexibility.
What is the purpose of the REF pin on the LTC2966CUD#PBF?
The REF pin delivers a buffered 2.402V reference (±0.5% initial accuracy, 140µVRMS noise) used to bias external resistor networks that set INHA/INLA and INHB/INLB voltages. It also serves as a logic-high source for range and polarity select pins (RS1A/RS2A, PSA/PSB), eliminating need for additional voltage sources and ensuring consistent threshold scaling across temperature and supply variations.
