Product details
Overview
LTC6993CDCB-3#TRPBF from Analog Devices is a falling-edge-triggered, non-retriggerable monostable multivibrator (one-shot) with programmable pulse width from 1µs to 33.6 seconds. It uses an internal master oscillator and 8-step programmable divider (NDIV = 1 to 2²¹) set via resistor-divided DIV pin voltage, and operates from 2.25V to 5.5V supply. Its CMOS output sources/sinks 20mA and targets precision timing in envelope detection and missing-pulse monitoring.
For engineers reviewing the LTC6993CDCB-3#TRPBF datasheet, LTC6993CDCB-3#TRPBF pinout, LTC6993CDCB-3#TRPBF application, or LTC6993CDCB-3#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include confirmed falling-edge trigger polarity, non-retriggerable behavior, ±2.3% pulse width accuracy for widths >512µs, 70µA supply current at 10µs pulse width, and DFN-6 (2mm × 3mm) package compatibility with high-vibration environments.
Technical Context
The LTC6993CDCB-3#TRPBF implements a digitally controlled analog timing architecture: a feedback-regulated 1V SET pin enables precise ISET current programming (1.25µA–20µA), determining tMASTER = 1µs × RSET/50kΩ; the 4-bit DIV pin A/D converter selects both NDIV (1, 8, 64, ..., 2²¹) and output polarity (POL bit). Its internal digital filter rejects noise on the DIV input, and hysteresis on TRIG ensures robust edge detection across supply voltages.
Unlike generic timers, it integrates a halt oscillator function that stops timing when ISET drops below ~500nA, enabling ultra-low-power idle states. Pulse width drift is specified at ±0.006%/°C for NDIV ≥ 512 and ±0.008%/°C for NDIV ≤ 64, with supply voltage sensitivity as low as –0.1% over V+ = 2.25V–4.5V for long pulses.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Pulse width range | 1µs to 33.6 seconds - supports both microsecond-level event capture and multi-second watchdog timeouts |
| Trigger polarity | Falling-edge only - requires negative-going signal on TRIG to initiate output pulse |
| Retrigger capability | Non-retriggerable - ignores subsequent triggers until current pulse completes and re-arms |
| Pulse width accuracy | ±2.3% for tOUT > 512µs - enables reliable timing without external calibration in industrial control loops |
| Supply current | 70µA at 10µs pulse width (V+ = 2.25V) - minimizes battery drain in portable equipment |
| Operating temperature | 0°C to 70°C - validated for commercial-grade embedded systems with ambient thermal cycling |
| Output drive | CMOS, ±20mA - directly interfaces with logic inputs, LEDs, or small solenoids without buffer stages |
Pinout & Package
Package: 6-Lead (2mm × 3mm) Plastic DFN (DCB), exposed pad connected to GND. RoHS-compliant, lead-free finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| TRIG (Pin 1) | Falling-edge trigger input | Initiates output pulse on voltage transition from high to low; includes hysteresis proportional to V+ |
| GND (Pin 2) | Analog/digital ground reference | Low-inductance return path for all internal circuits; exposed pad must be connected to PCB ground plane |
| SET (Pin 3) | Pulse width programming node | Sinks ISET current (1.25µA–20µA); VSET regulated to 1.00V ±30mV for stable oscillator frequency |
| DIV (Pin 4) | Divider ratio & polarity control | 4-bit A/D input accepting VDIV = (DIVCODE + 0.5)/16 × V+ to select NDIV and output polarity (POL) |
| V+ (Pin 5) | Power supply input | 2.25V–5.5V single supply; requires 0.1µF ceramic bypass capacitor directly to GND |
| OUT (Pin 6) | CMOS output driver | Swings rail-to-rail (GND to V+); 30Ω typical output impedance; limited to ±20mA sink/source |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Falling-edge trigger with hysteresis | Enables reliable timing in noisy environments where rising edges may be corrupted; threshold scales with V+ |
| Programmable NDIV up to 2²¹ | Extends minimum 1µs base pulse to 33.6s without external counters or cascaded timers |
| Regulated 1V SET pin | Eliminates VSET drift impact on pulse width when using RSET; accuracy depends only on resistor tolerance |
| Non-retriggerable operation | Guarantees fixed-duration output regardless of trigger frequency - critical for safety-critical timeout functions |
| –55°C to 125°C extended temp option | MP-grade variants exist; this CDCB-3 version is rated 0°C–70°C but shares same die and DFN package robustness |
Applications
| Envelope Detection | Missing Pulse Detection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Extracting amplitude envelope from high-frequency carrier signals (e.g., 80kHz ultrasonic burst). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: One-shot configured with short tOUT (e.g., 16µs) triggered by carrier zero-crossing to gate envelope sampling window. Use Value: Achieves <1µs jitter and ±2.3% width accuracy, enabling precise envelope reconstruction without ADC oversampling. | Use Scenario: Monitoring periodic sensor pulses (e.g., crankshaft position) where absence indicates fault. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Non-retriggerable one-shot with tOUT slightly longer than maximum expected inter-pulse interval. Use Value: Output stays high only if no pulse arrives within timeout window - clean digital fault flag with no false triggers from noise. |
| Watchdog Timer | High-Vibration Timing |
Use Scenario: System-level reset supervision in microcontroller-based controllers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Falling-edge triggered by MCU's periodic "alive" pulse; non-retriggerable ensures reset fires if MCU hangs mid-pulse. Use Value: 33.6s max pulse width covers long boot sequences; 70µA idle current extends battery life in remote nodes. | Use Scenario: Timing in automotive engine control modules subject to mechanical shock and thermal cycling. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Generates stable delay windows for ignition timing or valve actuation sequencing. Use Value: ±0.006%/°C drift and AEC-Q100-qualified variants ensure timing integrity under 125°C junction temperatures and vibration. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar monostable timing applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC6993IDCB-3#TRPBF | Same functionality and pinout; rated –40°C to 85°C operating range vs. 0°C to 70°C | Required for industrial temperature range deployments; identical electrical specs and timing performance | Select when board-level ambient exceeds 70°C or requires extended qualification coverage |
| LTC6993HDCB-3#TRPBF | Same functionality and pinout; rated –40°C to 125°C, higher temp grade with validated reliability data | Needed for under-hood automotive or high-temp industrial enclosures; shares same DFN-6 footprint | Choose for AEC-Q100-compliant designs or sustained operation above 85°C ambient |
Compared with LTC6993CDCB-3#TRPBF, the IDCB-3 and HDCB-3 variants offer identical timing accuracy, power consumption, and pinout but extend guaranteed operation to –40°C and –40°C/125°C respectively - enabling drop-in replacement where thermal margins require broader qualification without layout changes.

FAQ
What is the trigger behavior of LTC6993CDCB-3#TRPBF?
LTC6993CDCB-3#TRPBF responds exclusively to falling-edge transitions on the TRIG pin and is non-retriggerable - meaning additional falling edges during an active output pulse are ignored until the pulse completes and the internal circuit re-arms. This behavior is fixed per device variant and cannot be altered via configuration pins or software.
How is pulse width programmed on LTC6993CDCB-3#TRPBF?
LTC6993CDCB-3#TRPBF pulse width is set by two independent elements: a resistor (RSET) between SET and GND determines the master oscillator period (tMASTER = 1µs × RSET/50kΩ), and a resistor divider on the DIV pin selects NDIV (1 to 2²¹) and output polarity. The final width is tOUT = NDIV × tMASTER.
What package type does LTC6993CDCB-3#TRPBF use?
LTC6993CDCB-3#TRPBF uses a 6-lead (2mm × 3mm) plastic DFN package (DCB), with exposed thermal pad connected to GND. It is RoHS-compliant, lead-free, and optimized for automated assembly and thermal dissipation in compact layouts.
Does LTC6993CDCB-3#TRPBF support dynamic pulse width adjustment?
Yes - LTC6993CDCB-3#TRPBF allows real-time pulse width modulation by varying the voltage applied to the SET pin (replacing RSET with a DAC or op-amp), which changes ISET current and thus tMASTER. This enables adaptive timing without hardware changes, provided VSET remains regulated at 1V and capacitance on SET is <10pF.
What is the supply current of LTC6993CDCB-3#TRPBF at 2.25V?
At V+ = 2.25V and 10µs pulse width, LTC6993CDCB-3#TRPBF draws 70µA in active mode. Idle current varies with RSET and NDIV: e.g., 55µA for RSET = 800kΩ and NDIV ≥ 512, making it suitable for battery-powered applications with infrequent timing events.
