Product details
Overview
LTC6994MPS6-1#TRM from Analog Devices is a precision programmable delay block (TimerBlox family) that delays rising-edge transitions only, with 1µs–33.6s range, ±2.3% max error for delays >512µs, 2.25V–5.5V supply, and –55°C to 125°C operation in TSOT-23 package. It serves as a noise discriminator and switch debouncer in high-vibration industrial control systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC6994MPS6-1#TRM datasheet, LTC6994MPS6-1#TRM pinout, LTC6994MPS6-1#TRM application, or LTC6994MPS6-1#TRM equivalent, this page delivers verified timing accuracy, temperature-stable delay programming via RSET resistor, edge-selective delay behavior (LTC6994-1 variant), automotive-grade reliability (AEC-Q100 qualified), and real-world pulse qualification use cases.
Technical Context
The LTC6994MPS6-1#TRM implements a master oscillator with 1µs base period, programmable via ISET current sourced from the SET pin (regulated at 1.00V ±30mV), and an internal 4-bit A/D converter on the DIV pin that selects NDIV = 1, 8, 64, 512, 4096, 2¹⁵, 2¹⁸, or 2²¹ and sets POL bit for rising-edge-only delay mode. Its digital filter ensures stable DIVCODE recognition and prevents spurious transitions during voltage drift.
Delay calculation follows tDELAY = NDIV × RSET / 50kΩ × 1µs, where RSET (50kΩ–800kΩ) sets ISET (1.25µA–20µA); VSET drift is rejected by feedback regulation, making delay accuracy dependent solely on RSET tolerance and internal NDIV quantization. Propagation delay is 10ns (V+ = 5.5V), and output drives ±20mA with CMOS rail-to-rail swing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Delay Range | 1µs to 33.6 seconds - supports both microsecond-level signal conditioning and multi-second system timing without external counters. |
| Delay Accuracy | ±2.3% max for tDELAY > 512µs - enables reliable pulse qualification in safety-critical debounce applications. |
| Supply Voltage | 2.25V to 5.5V - compatible with Li-ion, 3.3V logic, and legacy 5V industrial rails without level-shifting. |
| Operating Temperature | –55°C to 125°C - meets extended-range requirements for under-hood automotive and aerospace environments. |
| Output Drive | ±20mA CMOS - directly interfaces with LEDs, optocouplers, and logic inputs without buffer stages. |
| Start-Up Time | 500 × tMASTER (typ. 500µs at RSET = 50kΩ) - ensures deterministic initialization before first input edge. |
| Quiescent Current | 65µA at V+ = 2.25V, RSET = 800kΩ, NDIV ≥ 512 - enables ultra-low-power battery operation in portable equipment. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 6-Lead Plastic TSOT-23 (S6), 1mm profile, exposed pad optional, –55°C to 125°C rated.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN (Pin 1) | Logic Input | Accepts 0.3×V+/0.7×V+ hysteresis thresholds; triggers rising-edge delay when POL = 0 (LTC6994-1 mode). |
| GND (Pin 2) | Ground Reference | Low-inductance return path for SET, IN, and OUT; exposed pad connection optional but recommended for thermal performance. |
| SET (Pin 3) | Delay Programming | Sinks ISET = VSET/RSET (VSET = 1.00V ±30mV); RSET = 50kΩ–800kΩ sets master oscillator period and delay resolution. |
| DIV (Pin 4) | Divider & Polarity Control | Voltage divider input (VDIV/V+ = (DIVCODE + 0.5)/16 ±1.5%) selects NDIV and configures rising-edge-only delay (POL = 0). |
| V+ (Pin 5) | Power Supply | 2.25V–5.5V input; requires 0.1µF ceramic bypass capacitor directly to GND for low-noise oscillator operation. |
| OUT (Pin 6) | CMOS Output | Rail-to-rail switching (GND to V+) with 30Ω typical output resistance; sources/sinks 20mA for direct load driving. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rising-edge selective delay | Configured via POL = 0 on DIV pin; ignores falling edges entirely-ideal for eliminating chatter on mechanical switch closures. |
| Temperature-stable delay programming | VSET regulated to 1.00V ±30mV rejects supply and temperature drift; delay depends only on RSET and NDIV. |
| AEC-Q100 qualified | Rated for automotive applications per Grade MP (–55°C to 125°C), including HTOL, TCT, and ESD testing per standard. |
| Noise discrimination capability | Rejects sub-1µs glitches and short transients by requiring minimum input pulse width (5ns at V+ = 3.3V) before initiating delay. |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 65µA typical at 2.25V/800kΩ/NDIV ≥ 512 - extends battery life in always-on sensor nodes and portable test gear. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar programmable delay applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC6994IS6-1#TRPBF | Same architecture and pinout; rated –40°C to 85°C (not –55°C to 125°C) and not AEC-Q100 qualified. | Restricted to commercial/industrial ambient environments; unsuitable for under-hood automotive use. | Select when extended temperature range and automotive qualification are unnecessary and cost optimization is prioritized. |
| MAX6816EUT+T | Dedicated 3-channel debouncer IC with fixed 10ms/20ms/40ms delays; no programmable RSET interface or wide 1µs–33.6s range. | Only supports standardized debounce intervals; lacks flexibility for custom timing or noise discrimination beyond switch bounce. | Select for simple, low-cost, multi-input switch debouncing where fixed delays suffice and board space permits 6-pin SOT-23 per channel. |
Compared with LTC6994IS6-1#TRPBF, LTC6994MPS6-1#TRM adds –55°C startup capability and AEC-Q100 compliance for harsh environments; compared with MAX6816EUT+T, it offers 34 decades of programmable delay range and single-resistor configuration instead of fixed intervals.

FAQ
What is the maximum delay accuracy specification for LTC6994MPS6-1#TRM at 10ms delay?
The LTC6994MPS6-1#TRM guarantees ±2.3% maximum delay error for delays greater than 512µs. At 10ms (well above that threshold), the actual delay will be within ±230µs of the programmed value under full –55°C to 125°C operating range, assuming proper RSET selection and layout per datasheet guidelines.
Does LTC6994MPS6-1#TRM support falling-edge delay?
No. LTC6994MPS6-1#TRM is the LTC6994-1 variant and delays rising-edge transitions only when POL = 0 (default configuration). Falling edges pass through with only propagation delay (10ns typ.). To delay both edges, LTC6994MPS6-2#TRM must be used instead.
Can LTC6994MPS6-1#TRM operate from a 2.25V supply?
Yes. LTC6994MPS6-1#TRM is fully specified from 2.25V to 5.5V. At 2.25V, it delivers ±20mA output drive, 65µA quiescent current (with RSET = 800kΩ), and maintains ±2.3% delay accuracy for tDELAY > 512µs across its full –55°C to 125°C temperature range.
What is the purpose of the DIV pin on LTC6994MPS6-1#TRM?
The DIV pin on LTC6994MPS6-1#TRM accepts a voltage divider to select both the delay multiplier (NDIV = 1, 8, 64, ..., 2²¹) and the polarity mode (POL = 0 for rising-edge delay). For LTC6994MPS6-1#TRM, POL = 0 is required to enable rising-edge-only delay functionality as specified in the part number suffix "-1".
Is LTC6994MPS6-1#TRM pin-compatible with other TimerBlox delay blocks?
Yes. LTC6994MPS6-1#TRM uses the standard 6-lead TSOT-23 (S6) package with identical pinout to all other S6-packaged TimerBlox delay variants (e.g., LTC6994IS6-1#TRPBF, LTC6994HS6-1#TRPBF), enabling drop-in replacement within the same temperature grade and function variant.
