DESCRIPTION
Single UV/OV
Voltage Monitor
The LTC
®
2912 voltage monitor is designed to detect power
supply undervoltage and overvoltage events. The VL and
VH monitor inputs include fi ltering to reject brief glitches,
thereby ensuring reliable reset operation without false or
noisy triggering. An adjustable timer defi nes the duration of
the overvoltage and undervoltage reset outputs which func-
tion independently. While the LTC2912 operates directly
from 2.3V to 6V supplies, an internal VCC shunt regulator
coupled with low supply current demand allows operation
from higher voltages such as 12V, 24V or 48V.
Three output confi gurations are available: the LTC2912-
1 has a latch control for the OV output; the LTC2912-2
has an OV and UV output disable feature for margining
applications; the LTC2912-3 is identical to the LTC2912-1
but with a noninverting, OV output.
The LTC2912 provides a precise, versatile, space-conscious
micropower solution for voltage monitoring.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Voltage Monitoring
The LTC2912 is a low power voltage monitoring circuit
with an undervoltage and an overvoltage input. A timeout
period that holds OV and UV asserted after a fault has
cleared is adjustable using an external capacitor and may
be externally disabled. When confi gured to monitor a posi-
tive voltage Vn using the 3-resistor circuit confi guration
shown in Figure 1, VH will be connected to the high side
tap of the resistive divider and VL will be connected to the
low side tap of the resistive divider.
3-Step Design Procedure
The following 3-step design procedure allows selecting
appropriate resistances to obtain the desired UV and OV
trip points for the voltage monitor circuit in Figure 1.
For supply monitoring, Vn is the desired nominal operat-
ing voltage, In is the desired nominal current through the
resistive divider, VOV is the desired overvoltage trip point
and VUV is the desired undervoltage trip point.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Power-Up/Power-Down
As soon as VCC reaches 1V during power up, the UV output
asserts low and the OV output weakly pulls to VCC.
The LTC2912 is guaranteed to assert UV low, OV high
(LTC2912-1, LTC2912-2) and OV low (LTC2912-3) under
conditions of low VCC, down to VCC = 1V. Above VCC = 2V
(2.1V maximum), the VH and VL inputs take control.
Once the VH input and VCC become valid an internal timer
is started. After an adjustable delay time, UV weakly pulls
high.
Threshold Accuracy
Reset threshold accuracy is important in a supply-sensitive
system. Ideally, such a system resets only if supply voltages
fall outside the exact thresholds for a specifi ed margin.
Both LTC2912 inputs have a relative threshold accuracy
of ±1.5% over the full operating temperature range.
For example, when the LTC2912 is programmed to moni-
tor a 5V input with a 10% tolerance, the desired UV trip
point is 4.5V. Because of the ±1.5% relative accuracy of
the LTC2912, the UV trip point can be anywhere between
4.433V and 4.567V which is 4.5V ±1.5%.
Likewise, the accuracy of the resistances chosen for RA,
RB and RC can affect the UV and OV trip points as well.
Using the example just given, if the resistances used to
set the UV trip point have 1% accuracy, the UV trip range
is between 4.354V and 4.650V. This is illustrated in the
following calculations.
The UV trip point is given as:
VUV =0.5V 1+RC
RA+RB
The two extreme conditions, with a relative accuracy of
1.5% and resistance accuracy of 1%, result in:
V
UV(MIN) =0.5V 0.985 1+RC 0.99

and
V
UV(MAX) =0.5V 1.015 1+81.01

Glitch Immunity
In any supervisory application, noise riding on the moni-
tored DC voltage causes spurious resets. To solve this
problem without adding hysteresis, which causes a new
error term in the trip voltage, the LTC2912 lowpass fi lters
the output of the fi rst stage comparator at each input. This
lter integrates the output of the comparator before as-
serting the UV or OV logic. A transient at the input of the
comparator of suffi cient magnitude and duration triggers
the output logic. The Typical Performance Characteristics
show a graph of the Transient Duration vs Comparator
Overdrive.
UV/OV Timing
The LTC2912 has an adjustable timeout period (tUOTO) that
holds OV, OV or UV asserted after each fault has cleared.
This delay assures a minimum reset pulse width allowing
settling time for the monitored voltage after it has entered
the “valid” region of operation.
LTC2912

2912fa
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
When the VH input drops below its designed threshold,
the UV pin asserts low. When the input recovers above
its designed threshold, the UV output timer starts. If the
input remains above the designed threshold when the
timer fi nishes, the UV pin weakly pulls high. However, if
the input falls below its designed threshold during this
timeout period, the timer resets and restarts when the
input is above the designed threshold. The OV and OV
outputs behave as the UV output when LATCH is high
(LTC2912-1, LTC2912-3).
Selecting the UV/OV Timing Capacitor
The UV and OV timeout period (tUOTO) for the LTC2912
is adjustable to accommodate a variety of applications.
Connecting a capacitor, CTMR, between the TMR pin and
ground sets the timeout period. The value of capacitor
needed for a particular timeout period is:
C
TMR = tUOTO • 115 • 10–9 [F/s]
The Reset Timeout Period vs Capacitance graph found in
the Typical Performance Characteristics shows the desired
delay time as a function of the value of the timer capacitor
that must be used. The TMR pin must have a minimum
10pF load or be tied to VCC. For long timeout periods, the
only limitation is the availability of a large value capaci-
tor with low leakage. Capacitor leakage current must not
exceed the minimum TMR charging current of 1.3μA.Tying
the TMR pin to VCC bypasses the timeout period.
Undervoltage Lockout
When VCC falls below 2V, the LTC2912 asserts an
undervoltage lockout (UVLO) condition. During UVLO, UV
is asserted and pulled low while OV and OV are cleared
and blocked from asserting. When VCC rises above 2V, UV
follows the same timing procedure as an undervoltage
condition on the VH input.
Shunt Regulator
The LTC2912 has an internal shunt regulator. The VCC pin
operates as a direct supply input for voltages up to 6V. Under
this condition, the quiescent current of the device remains
below a maximum of 70μA. For VCC voltages higher than
6V, the device operates as a shunt regulator and should
have a resistance RZ between the supply and the VCC pin
to limit the current to no greater than 10mA.
When choosing this resistance value, select an appropriate
location on the I-V curve shown in the Typical Performance
Characteristics to accommodate any variations in VCC due
to changes in current through RZ.
UV, OV and OV Output Characteristics
The DC characteristics of the UV, OV and 0V pull-up and
pull-down strength are shown in the Typical Performance
Characteristics. Each pin has a weak internal pull-up to
VCC and a strong pull-down to ground. This arrangement
allows these pins to have open-drain behavior while pos-
sessing several other benefi cial characteristics. The weak
pull-up eliminates the need for an external pull-up resistor
when the rise time on the pin is not critical. On the other
hand, the open-drain confi guration allows for wired-OR
connections, and is useful when more than one signal
needs to pull down on the output. VCC of 1V guarantees
a maximum VOL = 0.15V at UV.
At VCC = 1V, the weak pull-up current on OV is barely turned
on. Therefore, an external pull-up resistor of no more than
100k is recommended on the OV pin if the state and pull-up
strength of the OV pin is crucial at very low VCC.
Note however, by adding an external pull-up resistor, the
pull-up strength on the OV pin is increased. Therefore, if
it is connected in a wired-OR connection, the pull-down
strength of any single device must accommodate this
additional pull-up strength.
Output Rise and Fall Time Estimation
The UV, OV and OV outputs have strong pull-down capa-
bility. The following formula estimates the output fall time
(90% to 10%) for a particular external load capacitance
(CLOAD):
t
FALL ≈ 2.2 • RPD • CLOAD
where RPD is the on-resistance of the internal pull-down
transistor, typically 50Ω at VCC > 1V and at room tem-
perature (25°C). CLOAD is the external load capacitance
on the pin. Assuming a 150pF load capacitance, the fall
time is 16.5ns.

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The rise time on the UV, OV and 0V pins is limited by a
400k pull-up resistance to VCC. A similar formula esti-
mates the output rise time (10% to 90%) at the UV, OV
and OV pins:
t
RISE ≈ 2.2 • RPU • CLOAD
where RPU is the pull-up resistance.
OV/OV Latch (LTC2912-1, LTC2912-3)
With the LATCH pin held low, the OV pin latches low
(LTC2912-1) and the OV pin latches high (LTC2912-3)
when an OV condition is detected. The latch is cleared
by raising the LATCH pin high. If an OV condition clears
while LATCH is held high, the latch is bypassed and the
OV and OV pins behave the same as the UV pin with a
similar timeout period at the output. If LATCH is pulled
low while the timeout period is active, the OV and OV pins
latch as before.
Disable (LTC2912-2)
The LTC2912-2 allows disabling the UV and OV outputs
via the DIS pin. Pulling DIS high forces both outputs to
remain weakly pulled high, regardless of any faults that
occur on the inputs. However, if a UVLO condition oc-
curs, UV asserts and pulls low, but the timeout function
is bypassed. UV pulls high as soon as the UVLO condition
is cleared.
DIS has a weak 2μA (typical) internal pull-down current
guaranteeing normal operation with the pin left open.
