Product details
Overview
LTC6993HDCB-4#TRPBF from Analog Devices is a falling-edge-triggered, retriggerable monostable multivibrator (one-shot) IC 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 RSET resistor and DIV pin voltage, and operates from 2.25V to 5.5V supply. It delivers ±20mA CMOS output drive and supports automotive-grade operation from –40°C to 125°C in a 6-lead DFN package.
For engineers reviewing the LTC6993HDCB-4#TRPBF datasheet, LTC6993HDCB-4#TRPBF pinout, LTC6993HDCB-4#TRPBF application, or LTC6993HDCB-4#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include falling-edge trigger polarity, retrigger capability, temperature-rated DFN packaging, pulse width accuracy across NDIV settings, and dynamic control via SET/DIV analog inputs.
Technical Context
The LTC6993HDCB-4#TRPBF implements a precision analog-controlled timing architecture: a regulated 1V SET pin enables current-based oscillator programming (ISET = 1.25µA–20µA), while a 4-bit A/D converter on the DIV pin selects both NDIV (1, 8, 64, 512, 4096, 2¹⁵, 2¹⁸, 2²¹) and output polarity (POL bit). Its falling-edge trigger with hysteresis ensures robust edge detection across supply voltages.
Unlike fixed-delay timers, this device supports real-time pulse width adjustment via VSET or VDIV changes post-startup, with settling time of 6×tMASTER. The internal POR and digital filter suppress false triggering, and the output driver maintains <30Ω source/sink impedance with fast rise/fall times (≤2.7ns at 2.25V).
Key Specifications

Applications
| Watchdog Timer | Missing Pulse Detection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Monitors microcontroller activity in automotive ECUs by requiring periodic falling-edge pulses to prevent system reset. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Falling-edge retriggerable one-shot that holds reset line inactive only while pulses arrive within programmed window. Use Value: Prevents spurious resets during transient EMI; leverages built-in hysteresis and wide temperature range for under-hood reliability. | Use Scenario: Detects loss of encoder or sensor clock signals in motor control systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Generates fault flag when falling-edge input stops arriving for longer than programmed timeout (e.g., 10ms). Use Value: Uses retriggering to extend timeout only on valid edges - rejects noise spikes while responding instantly to true signal loss. |
| Envelope Detection | High-Vibration Timing |
Use Scenario: Extracts amplitude envelope from RF-modulated carrier signals in portable medical sensors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: One-shot triggered by carrier zero-crossings; output pulse width tracks modulation depth via SET pin voltage. Use Value: Replaces op-amp diode-capacitor circuits with stable, low-drift timing - immune to supply ripple and temperature drift. | Use Scenario: Provides precise timing windows for data acquisition in aerospace accelerometers subject to mechanical shock. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Generates gated sampling windows synchronized to vibration events using falling-edge trigger from piezo sensor. Use Value: Maintains ±2.3% pulse accuracy over –40°C to 125°C and survives 10,000g shocks due to monolithic silicon construction. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar monostable timing applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC6993HDCB-2#TRPBF | Rising-edge trigger, retriggerable; identical package, temp grade, and timing specs | Requires rising-edge input signal instead of falling-edge; same pulse width programming and output drive | Select when host system generates rising-edge wake-up or sync signals rather than falling-edge interrupts |
| LTC6993HDCB-3#TRPBF | Falling-edge trigger, non-retriggerable; same package, temp grade, and timing range | Output pulse terminates after first falling edge and ignores subsequent triggers until complete | Choose for single-event timing (e.g., power-on delay) where pulse extension is undesirable |
Compared with LTC6993HDCB-2#TRPBF and LTC6993HDCB-3#TRPBF, the LTC6993HDCB-4#TRPBF uniquely combines falling-edge sensitivity with retriggerability - enabling adaptive timeout extension in fault-monitoring and envelope-tracking systems where input edge polarity and dynamic pulse length are critical.

FAQ
What is the trigger behavior of the LTC6993HDCB-4#TRPBF?
The LTC6993HDCB-4#TRPBF is a falling-edge-triggered, retriggerable monostable multivibrator. A falling transition on the TRIG pin initiates the output pulse, and subsequent falling edges occurring before pulse completion extend the output duration. This behavior is confirmed in Table 2 and Figure 4 of the datasheet, distinguishing it from non-retriggerable or rising-edge variants like LTC6993-1 or LTC6993-3.
How do I program the pulse width for the LTC6993HDCB-4#TRPBF?
Program the pulse width of the LTC6993HDCB-4#TRPBF using two analog inputs: connect a resistor (RSET) between SET and GND to set tMASTER = 1µs × RSET/50kΩ, and apply a voltage to DIV (VDIV/V+ = (DIVCODE + 0.5)/16 ±1.5%) to select NDIV (1 to 2²¹). The final pulse width is tOUT = NDIV × RSET/50kΩ × 1µs, as defined in the "Operation" section and Equation on page 12.

Electrical Characteristics tables specify parameters at 2.25V (e.g., IS(IDLE) = 65µA, VOL = 0.07V at 8mA sink), and Absolute Maximum Ratings confirm 2.25V as the minimum functional supply voltage for the –40°C to 125°C temperature grade.
What is the maximum output current drive capability of the LTC6993HDCB-4#TRPBF?
The LTC6993HDCB-4#TRPBF provides ±20mA CMOS output drive, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table under IOUT(MAX). This allows direct interfacing with LEDs, logic inputs, or MOSFET gates without external buffers. VOH and VOL values are guaranteed across supply voltages (e.g., VOH = 2.17V at 2.25V/–1mA) and load conditions.
Is the LTC6993HDCB-4#TRPBF qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the LTC6993HDCB-4#TRPBF carries the "H" temperature grade (–40°C to 125°C) and is explicitly stated as AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive applications in the Features and Ordering sections.
