Product details
Overview
LTC2966HSW#PBF from Analog Devices is a micropower dual-channel high-voltage voltage monitor IC designed for system-level power supervision in harsh industrial and automotive environments. 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 is used in telecom power shelves to detect undervoltage faults on +48V and +24V rails before system reset.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2966HSW#PBF datasheet, LTC2966HSW#PBF pinout, LTC2966HSW#PBF application, or LTC2966HSW#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its –40°C to 125°C operating range, selectable 5x/10x/20x/40x internal resistive divider scaling, built-in hysteresis configuration via INH/INL grounding, and polarity-selectable outputs for flexible undervoltage/overvoltage detection logic.
Technical Context
The LTC2966HSW#PBF implements two independent comparator channels, each with programmable attenuation (5x–40x) via RS1/RS2 pins and polarity inversion via PSA/PSB pins. Each channel uses an internal high-impedance resistive divider (70MΩ) to sense VINA or VINB, referenced to a buffered 2.402V internal reference (REF).
Thresholds are set by external voltages applied to INHA/INLA (Channel A) and INHB/INLB (Channel B), scaled by the selected range; built-in hysteresis (14–30mV) is enabled by grounding either INH or INL. Outputs (OUTA/OUTB) feature 100V-rated active pull-down and internal 500kΩ pull-up to a 3.5–5V internal rail, supporting wire-OR configurations without external components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Operating Voltage Range | 3.5V to 100V on VINA or VINB - supports direct monitoring of telecom +48V, industrial +24V, and automotive battery rails without external level-shifting. |
| Quiescent Current | 7µA typical - enables always-on supervision in battery-backed systems with multi-year runtime. |
| Threshold Accuracy | ±1.4% max over –40°C to 125°C - ensures reliable trip points across automotive under-hood and industrial control cabinet temperatures. |
| Internal Reference | 2.402V ±12mV - provides stable bias for external resistor dividers setting INH/INL thresholds; low 140µVRMS noise avoids false triggering. |
| Output Rating | 100V absolute max on OUTA/OUTB - allows direct connection to high-side supply rails up to 98V (40x range) with no external protection. |
| Propagation Delay | 40–80µs at 10x overdrive - delivers fast fault response for critical power sequencing and hot-swap event detection. |
| Temperature Range | –40°C to +125°C ambient - qualified for H-grade operation in engine control units, base station power supplies, and railway electronics. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 20-Lead Plastic Small Outline (Wide, 0.300 inch), RoHS-compliant, lead-free finish (PBF). Exposed pad not present in SW package.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VINA | Channel A high-voltage monitor input | Senses up to 100V via internal 70MΩ divider; powers internal circuitry with priority over VINB. |
| VINB | Channel B high-voltage monitor input | Senses up to 100V; internal supply derived only if VINA < UVLO threshold. |
| OUTA / OUTB | Active-low, high-voltage open-drain outputs | 100V-rated pull-down + internal 500kΩ pull-up to 3.5–5V rail; polarity configurable via PSA/PSB. |
| INHA / INHB | Channel A/B high-threshold reference inputs | Set rising-edge trip point when scaled by RS1/RS2; ground to enable rising-edge hysteresis. |
| INLA / INLB | Channel A/B low-threshold reference inputs | Set falling-edge trip point when scaled by RS1/RS2; ground to enable falling-edge hysteresis. |
| RS1A/RS2A / RS1B/RS2B | Channel A/B range select inputs | Binary-coded pins selecting 5x/10x/20x/40x internal attenuation for 1.75–98V monitor range. |
| PSA / PSB | Channel A/B polarity select inputs | Ground = noninverting (OUT low on undervoltage); REF = inverting (OUT low on overvoltage). |
| REF | 2.402V buffered reference output | Stable bias source for external INH/INL resistor networks; max 100µA load. |
| GND | Analog ground reference | Return path for all internal circuits and reference; must be low-impedance connection. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC2965HSW#PBF | Single-channel version; identical 100V rating, –40°C to 125°C range, and 7µA IQ but lacks second monitor channel and associated pins (VINB, OUTB, INHB, INLB, etc.). | Requires two devices to replicate dual-monitor functionality; increases PCB area and BOM count. | Select LTC2966HSW#PBF when space-constrained designs require two independent high-voltage rails monitored in one package. |
| MAX6805–MAX6809 family (e.g., MAX6806US29D3+T) | Lower voltage range (up to 5.5V), fixed thresholds, no internal reference or scaling; SOT-23-5 package; 1.6µA IQ but no high-voltage capability. | Only suitable for low-voltage logic rail monitoring (e.g., 3.3V, 5V); cannot replace LTC2966HSW#PBF in >12V applications. | Choose MAX6806 only for cost-sensitive, low-voltage, single-rail applications where high-voltage tolerance is unnecessary. |
Compared with LTC2965HSW#PBF, the LTC2966HSW#PBF saves board space and interconnect complexity by integrating two fully independent 100V monitors; compared with MAX6806, it enables direct high-voltage rail supervision without external dividers or level shifters-critical for telecom and automotive systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage the LTC2966HSW#PBF can monitor?
The LTC2966HSW#PBF supports a maximum input voltage of 100V on VINA or VINB under normal operating conditions, with an absolute maximum rating of 140V. Its internal 70MΩ resistive divider enables direct sensing of high-voltage rails such as +48V telecom supplies and +24V industrial controls without external components. Operation above 100V is limited by the 140V absolute maximum rating and requires careful transient analysis per the datasheet's Hot Swap Events section.
How does the LTC2966HSW#PBF achieve ±1.4% threshold accuracy over temperature?
The LTC2966HSW#PBF achieves ±1.4% threshold accuracy over –40°C to +125°C through a combination of trimmed internal resistive dividers (±0.4% range error), low-offset comparators (±3mV), a highly stable 2.402V reference (±12mV), and matched temperature coefficients across its signal chain. This specification is verified across the full H-grade temperature range and accounts for worst-case contributions from reference drift, comparator offset, and internal divider error as documented in the Electrical Characteristics table.
Can the LTC2966HSW#PBF monitor two different voltage rails simultaneously?
Yes, the LTC2966HSW#PBF is explicitly designed for simultaneous dual-rail monitoring: Channel A monitors VINA (e.g., +48V) and Channel B monitors VINB (e.g., +24V), each with independent range selection (RS1A/RS2A, RS1B/RS2B), threshold references (INHA/INLA, INHB/INLB), polarity control (PSA, PSB), and outputs (OUTA, OUTB). The datasheet Typical Application circuit demonstrates this exact use case with discrete 48V and 24V undervoltage detection.
What is the purpose of the REF pin on the LTC2966HSW#PBF?
The REF pin on the LTC2966HSW#PBF provides a buffered 2.402V reference output used to bias external resistor networks that set the INHA/INLA and INHB/INLB threshold voltages. It eliminates the need for an external reference, supports low-leakage (<1nA) input biasing, and serves as a logic-high voltage source for the RS1/RS2 and PSA/PSB control pins. The REF pin can drive up to 100µA while maintaining ±12mV accuracy over temperature.
Does the LTC2966HSW#PBF require external pull-up resistors on OUTA and OUTB?
No, the LTC2966HSW#PBF includes an internal 500kΩ pull-up resistor to an internally generated 3.5–5V supply, eliminating the need for external pull-ups in most applications. External pull-ups may be added for faster rise times or higher voltage logic interfacing (up to 100V), but the internal pull-up ensures functional operation with zero external components on OUTA/OUTB - a key advantage for space-constrained and low-BOM designs.
