Product details
Overview
LTC6993MPS6-3#PBF from Analog Devices is a monostable multivibrator (one-shot pulse generator) with falling-edge trigger input, non-retriggerable operation, and programmable pulse width from 1µs to 33.6 seconds. It uses a single RSET resistor and DIV pin voltage to set timing via internal master oscillator (1µs base) and 8-step divider (NDIV = 1 to 2²¹). Designed for high-vibration environments and battery-powered systems, it delivers ±4.9% pulse width accuracy at 1µs–8µs and operates from –55°C to 125°C.
For engineers reviewing the LTC6993MPS6-3#PBF datasheet, LTC6993MPS6-3#PBF pinout, LTC6993MPS6-3#PBF application, or LTC6993MPS6-3#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include falling-edge trigger polarity, non-retrigger behavior, TSOT-23 package compatibility, –55°C to 125°C extended temperature rating, and CMOS output capable of ±20mA drive.
Technical Context
The LTC6993MPS6-3#PBF implements a digitally controlled analog timing architecture: a precision 1V-regulated SET pin controls ISET (1.25µA–20µA), setting tMASTER = 1µs × RSET/50kΩ; a 4-bit V+/GND-referenced A/D converter on the DIV pin selects NDIV (1, 8, 64, ..., 2²¹) and output polarity (POL bit). Its falling-edge trigger logic ignores subsequent triggers until pulse completion, ensuring deterministic one-shot behavior.
Internal hysteresis on TRIG (VIH ≈ 0.7×V+, VIL ≈ 0.3×V+) accommodates slow signal edges. The device features fast propagation delay (11–28ns), sub-500µs startup time, and low 70µA supply current at 10µs pulse width-enabling ultra-low-power timing in portable and automotive applications.
Key Specifications

FAQ
What is the trigger polarity and retrigger behavior of the LTC6993MPS6-3#PBF?
The LTC6993MPS6-3#PBF features a falling-edge trigger input and is non-retriggerable-meaning it ignores any additional TRIG transitions while the output pulse is active. This ensures deterministic, fixed-duration timing essential for watchdog and fault-detection circuits. Its behavior matches the LTC6993-3 variant per Analog Devices' datasheet revision F.
What is the minimum and maximum pulse width achievable with the LTC6993MPS6-3#PBF?
The LTC6993MPS6-3#PBF supports pulse widths from 1µs to 33.6 seconds. Minimum width is achieved with NDIV = 1 and RSET = 50kΩ; maximum with NDIV = 2²¹ and RSET = 800kΩ. Accuracy varies by range: ±4.9% (1µs–8µs), ±3.4% (8µs–512µs), and ±2.3% (>512µs).
Which package and temperature grade does the LTC6993MPS6-3#PBF use?
The LTC6993MPS6-3#PBF is housed in a 6-lead Plastic TSOT-23 package and is rated for operation from –55°C to 125°C. This MP-grade qualification makes it suitable for extended automotive, industrial, and aerospace applications where standard industrial or commercial grades fall short.
How is pulse width programmed on the LTC6993MPS6-3#PBF?
Pulse width on the LTC6993MPS6-3#PBF is set using two independent controls: an RSET resistor from SET to GND determines tMASTER (base period), and the DIV pin voltage selects NDIV (divider ratio). The final output width is tOUT = NDIV × RSET / 50kΩ × 1µs. Precision resistors (0.5%, 50ppm/°C) are recommended for best accuracy.
Does the LTC6993MPS6-3#PBF require external components for basic operation?
Yes-the LTC6993MPS6-3#PBF requires at minimum: (1) a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor between V+ and GND for supply decoupling, (2) an RSET resistor from SET to GND to program tMASTER, and (3) a resistor divider on DIV to select NDIV and output polarity. No crystal, PLL, or microcontroller is needed, enabling fully autonomous timing.
