Product details
Overview
LTC6993IS6-4#TRPBF from Analog Devices is a falling-edge-triggered, retriggerable monostable multivibrator (one-shot) in TSOT-23-6 package, delivering programmable pulse widths from 1µs to 33.55s via RSET resistor and DIV pin voltage coding. It operates from 2.25V to 5.5V, draws as low as 55µA at 2.25V/800kΩ, and drives ±20mA CMOS output - used in missing-pulse detection, watchdog timers, and envelope detection in industrial sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the LTC6993IS6-4#TRPBF datasheet, LTC6993IS6-4#TRPBF pinout, LTC6993IS6-4#TRPBF application, or LTC6993IS6-4#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include confirmed falling-edge retrigger behavior, NDIV programmability (1–2,097,152), ±2.3% pulse width accuracy for >512µs pulses, –40°C to 85°C temperature grade, and SOT-23 footprint compatibility with layout-constrained portable systems.
Technical Context
The LTC6993IS6-4#TRPBF implements a master oscillator with 1µs base period, whose frequency is set by ISET current sourced from the SET pin (regulated at 1.00V ±30mV). Pulse width is calculated as tOUT = NDIV × RSET / 50kΩ × 1µs, where NDIV is selected via a 4-bit A/D conversion of VDIV on the DIV pin.
Its digital trigger logic responds exclusively to falling edges on TRIG (per LTC6993-4 specification), supports dynamic retriggering with minimum inter-trigger interval tRETRIG = 10ns (V+ = 3.3V, NDIV = 1), and features internal polarity control (POL bit) enabling positive or negative output pulses without external inversion circuitry.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Pulse Width Range | 1µs to 33.55 seconds - enables single-component timing across microsecond watchdogs and multi-second system reset hold-offs. |
| Pulse Width Accuracy | ±2.3% (typ) for tOUT > 512µs - ensures reliable timing margin in safety-critical missing-pulse detection. |
| Supply Voltage | 2.25V to 5.5V - supports direct interface with 3.3V and 5V logic rails without level-shifting. |
| Quiescent Current | 55µA at 2.25V/800kΩ - extends battery life in portable equipment with infrequent trigger events. |
| Output Drive | ±20mA CMOS - directly drives LEDs, small relays, or logic inputs without external buffers. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial automation and automotive cabin electronics. |

Pinout & Package
Package: 6-Lead Plastic TSOT-23 (1mm height), 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 for noise immunity. |
| GND (Pin 2) | Analog/digital ground reference | Low-inductance connection point for bypass capacitor (0.1µF) and return path for SET/OUT currents. |
| SET (Pin 3) | Pulse width programming node | Sinks 1.25µA–20µA to set master oscillator frequency; requires ≤10pF capacitance for jitter control. |
| DIV (Pin 4) | Divider ratio & polarity select | Voltage-coded 4-bit input (VDIV/V+ = (DIVCODE + 0.5)/16 ±1.5%) setting NDIV and output polarity. |
| V+ (Pin 5) | Positive supply rail | 2.25V–5.5V input; must be bypassed locally to GND to suppress switching noise coupling into timing circuitry. |
| OUT (Pin 6) | CMOS output driver | Full-rail swing (GND to V+), 30Ω typical output impedance, capable of sourcing/sinking 20mA. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Falling-edge retriggerable operation | Enables adaptive timeout extension in variable-interval communication protocols without firmware intervention. |
| Programmable NDIV up to 2,097,152 | Permits ultra-long pulse generation (up to 33.55s) using only passive resistors - eliminates need for external counters or microcontrollers. |
| 1V-regulated SET pin | Removes VSET drift impact on pulse width when using RSET, making timing accuracy dependent solely on resistor tolerance and device ∆tOUT spec. |
| ±20mA CMOS output | Drives standard logic loads, LEDs, or small MOSFET gates directly - reduces BOM count and PCB area in space-constrained designs. |
| –40°C to +85°C guaranteed performance | Validated across full industrial temperature range - no derating required for embedded control modules operating in uncontrolled environments. |
Applications

FAQ
What is the trigger behavior of the LTC6993IS6-4#TRPBF?
The LTC6993IS6-4#TRPBF is a falling-edge-triggered, retriggerable monostable multivibrator. A falling transition on the TRIG pin initiates the output pulse, and subsequent falling edges during an active output extend the pulse width. This behavior is defined in the LTC6993-4 variant specification and is verified across the –40°C to +85°C operating range for the LTC6993IS6-4#TRPBF.
How do I program a 10ms pulse width on the LTC6993IS6-4#TRPBF?
To achieve a 10ms pulse width with the LTC6993IS6-4#TRPBF, select NDIV = 512 (DIVCODE = 3, VDIV/V+ ≈ 0.219) and calculate RSET = (tOUT × 50kΩ) / (NDIV × 1µs) = (10ms × 50kΩ) / (512 × 1µs) ≈ 977kΩ. Use a 0.5% metal-film resistor from SET to GND, and verify VSET remains at 1.00V ±30mV per datasheet Figure 18.
Does the LTC6993IS6-4#TRPBF support negative output polarity?
Yes, the LTC6993IS6-4#TRPBF supports negative output polarity via the POL bit in DIVCODE. When DIVCODE ≥ 8 (e.g., DIVCODE = 8–15), the OUT pin produces a negative-going pulse (low-active) instead of the default positive pulse. This is implemented internally - no external inverter is needed - and is fully specified in Table 1 of the LTC6993 datasheet Rev. F.
What is the minimum supply voltage for reliable operation of the LTC6993IS6-4#TRPBF?
The LTC6993IS6-4#TRPBF operates reliably down to 2.25V over its full –40°C to +85°C temperature range, as confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables. At 2.25V, it maintains ±2.3% pulse width accuracy for tOUT > 512µs and delivers 8mA sink/source capability at VOL/VOH limits, meeting industrial-grade robustness requirements.
Can the LTC6993IS6-4#TRPBF be used in automotive applications?
The LTC6993IS6-4#TRPBF is not AEC-Q100 qualified. While it shares the same silicon die as AEC-Q100-qualified variants (e.g., LTC6993HS6-4#WTRPBF), the IS6-4#TRPBF grade is specified only for industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) and lacks automotive-specific reliability testing and traceability. For automotive use, select the W-suffix automotive-grade version explicitly listed in the Order Information table.
