Product details
Overview
LTC2995CUD#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a high-accuracy dual voltage monitor and remote/internal temperature sensor IC with open-drain alert outputs. It delivers ±1°C remote diode temperature accuracy, 1.5% voltage threshold accuracy, and 3.5ms update interval across 2.25V–5.5V supply range. Used in network servers and desktop computers for core/I/O voltage supervision and thermal safety monitoring.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2995CUD#PBF datasheet, LTC2995CUD#PBF pinout, LTC2995CUD#PBF application, or LTC2995CUD#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include remote diode ideality factor compensation (η = 1.004), series resistance cancellation up to several hundred ohms, VPTAT output slope of 4mV/K, and dual independent overtemperature/undertemperature thresholds with programmable hysteresis and reset timeout.
Technical Context
The LTC2995CUD#PBF implements a two-current diode sensing architecture that cancels series resistance errors by extracting and subtracting VCANCEL using an auxiliary current measurement. Its internal temperature-to-voltage converter produces VPTAT with calibrated 4mV/K gain for both internal die and external diodes matching η = 1.004.
Voltage monitoring uses a fixed 0.5V internal reference to compare VH1/VH2 (undervoltage) and VL1/VL2 (overvoltage) inputs; alerts are latched and released after a TMR-programmable timeout. The DS pin selects between internal, external, or alternating diode sensing, while PS configures VT1/VT2 as overtemperature, undertemperature, or mixed thresholds.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
20-lead (3mm × 3mm) plastic QFN package with exposed pad (optional GND connection). Pin functions validated per Linear Technology LTC2995 datasheet Rev. F.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC | Supply input | 2.25V–5.5V main power rail; requires ≥0.1μF local bypass to GND |
| GND | Ground reference | Primary return path for all analog and digital circuitry |
| D+, D− | Remote diode sense terminals | D+ sources −8μA to −192μA current; D− sinks same; 470pF bypass required |
| DS | Diode select control | Three-state: VCC = internal, GND = external, open = alternating measurement |
| PS | Polarity select control | VCC = VT1=UT/VT2=OT, open = both OT, GND = both UT |
| VPTAT | Temperature voltage output | Proportional to absolute temperature (4mV/K); drives ±200μA, ≤1000pF load |
| VREF | Reference output | 1.8V ±3mV (LTC2995C grade); used to set VT1/VT2 thresholds via resistor dividers |
| VH1, VH2 | Undervoltage sense inputs | Trigger UV alert if either falls below 0.5V; tie to VCC if unused |
| VL1, VL2 | Overvoltage sense inputs | Trigger OV alert if either rises above 0.5V; tie to GND if unused |
| VT1, VT2 | Temperature threshold inputs | Compare against VPTAT to generate TO1/TO2 alerts; hysteresis ≈20mV |
| TO1, TO2 | Open-drain temp alerts | Pull low on threshold breach; weak 400kΩ pull-up to VCC; configurable timeout via TMR |
| UV, OV | Open-drain voltage alerts | Pull low on VHn < 0.5V (UV) or VLn > 0.5V (OV); same timeout behavior as TO1/TO2 |
| TMR | Reset delay timer | Capacitor sets timeout: 5ms + 8ms/nF; open = 500μs min; tied to VCC = bypass |
| Exposed Pad | Thermal & electrical ground | Optional solder connection to PCB GND plane improves thermal coupling and noise immunity |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar temperature and dual voltage monitoring applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6603ESA+ | Single temperature sensor only; no voltage monitoring; 3-pin SOT23 package; ±2°C accuracy | Cannot replace dual-supply monitoring function; suitable only for pure thermal sensing in space-constrained designs | Select only when voltage supervision is handled separately and board area is critical |

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the LTC2995CUD#PBF?
The LTC2995CUD#PBF is specified for 0°C to 70°C ambient operation (Commercial grade). This matches the "C" suffix in the part number and is validated per the Absolute Maximum Ratings table in the official datasheet. Internal temperature accuracy is ±2°C across this full range, while remote diode accuracy holds at ±1°C from 0°C to 85°C - exceeding the ambient rating due to sensor physics.
How does the LTC2995CUD#PBF compensate for series resistance in remote diode traces?
The LTC2995CUD#PBF performs active series resistance cancellation by measuring the remote diode voltage at three distinct test currents, extracting the parasitic resistance value, and subtracting a corresponding cancellation voltage (VCANCEL) from the final VPTAT output. This technique is validated to maintain ±1°C accuracy with up to ~800Ω series resistance, as shown in Figure G05 of the datasheet.
Can the LTC2995CUD#PBF monitor both internal and external temperature simultaneously?
No - the LTC2995CUD#PBF alternates between internal and external diode measurements when the DS pin is left floating (open). In that mode, VPTAT toggles every 30ms between voltages representing internal die temperature and remote sensor temperature. For simultaneous monitoring, two separate LTC2995CUD#PBF devices or a different IC architecture is required.
What is the purpose of the 470pF capacitor between D+ and D− on the LTC2995CUD#PBF?
The 470pF capacitor between D+ and D− on the LTC2995CUD#PBF suppresses high-frequency noise coupling into the sensitive diode sense path. It is explicitly recommended in the Applications Information section to prevent measurement errors caused by EMI and switching noise, especially near odd multiples of 6kHz. Larger values (>1nF) degrade settling time and introduce temperature error.
Does the LTC2995CUD#PBF require external resistors to set voltage thresholds?
Yes - the LTC2995CUD#PBF uses its internal 0.5V comparator reference, but external resistor dividers from VREF (1.8V) are required to scale VH1/VH2 and VL1/VL2 inputs to match desired UV/OV trip points. For example, monitoring a 5V ±10% rail requires RA ≈45.3kΩ, RB ≈10.2kΩ, and RC ≈442kΩ per the design procedure in the datasheet's Applications Information section.
