DESCRIPTION
Voltage Supervisor with
27 Selectable Thresholds
and Watchdog Timer
The LTC
®
2917-A/LTC2917-B and LTC2918-A/LTC2918-B
are low voltage single-supply monitors with selectable
thresholds and an adjustable watchdog timer. The parts
operate from 1.5V to 5.5V and consume a quiescent cur-
rent of only 30μA.
Two three state inputs select one of nine internally pro-
grammed thresholds without the need for external resistors.
For the LTC2917, an additional three state input determines
the tolerance (–5%, –10%, –15%). The tolerance for the
LTC2918 is fi xed at –5%. Threshold accuracy is guaranteed
at ±1.5% over the entire operating temperature range.
Glitch fi ltering ensures reliable reset operation without
false triggering.
The reset timeout and the watchdog timeout may be set
with no external components, or adjusted using an exter-
nal capacitor. A windowed watchdog feature is available
for high-reliability applications (B1 versions). A separate
manual reset input on the LTC2918-A/LTC2918-B allows
a simple push button interface.
Operation to 125°C makes the LTC2917-A/LTC2917-B
and LTC2918-A/LTC2918-B suitable for automotive
applications.

Note 1: Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note 2: All currents into pins are positive; all voltages are referenced to
GND unless otherwise noted.
Note 3: VCC maximum pin voltage is limited by input current. Since the
VCC pin has an internal 6.2V shunt regulator, a low impedance supply
which exceeds 5.7V may exceed the rated terminal current. Operation

Applications Information.
Note 4: Input impedance is dependent on the confi guration of the SEL
pins.
Note 5: In the LTC2917-B/LTC2918-B, edges must occur on WDI with a
period between the lower and upper boundary or RST is invoked. For the
LTC2917-A/LTC2918-A, the edges must simply occur before the upper

29178fb
GND: Device Ground.
MR (LTC2918 only): Manual Reset Input (Active Low). A low
level on the MR input causes the part to issue a reset, which
is released one reset timeout after the input goes high. The pin
has an internal 100k pull-up to VCC, and thus may interface
directly to a momentary pushbutton. Leave open if unused.
RST: Open Drain RST Output. Asserts low when VM is
below the threshold selected by SEL1, SEL2 and TOL input
pins. Held low for an adjustable timeout after VM input is
above threshold.
RT: Reset Timeout Control Pin. Attach an external capacitor
(CRT) to GND to set a reset timeout of 9ms/nF. Leave RT open
to generate a reset timeout of approximately 400μs. Tie RT to
VCC to generate a reset timeout of approximately 200ms.
SEL1, SEL2: Monitor Voltage Select Three-State Input.
SEL1, and SEL2 control the nominal threshold voltage
that VM is set to monitor. Connect to VCC, GND or leave
unconnected in open state. (See Table 1).
TOL (LTC2917 only): Three-State Input for Supply Tolerance
Selection (–5%, –10% or –15%). Controls the tolerance
band at which the VM supply is monitored. Connect to VCC,
GND, or leave unconnected in open state. (See Table 2)
VCC: Power Supply input. Bypass this pin to ground with a
0.1μF ceramic capacitor. A minimum of 1.5V on VCC ensures
that the part is out of under voltage lockout and that the
voltage thresholds are accurate. Operates as a direct supply
input for voltages up to 5.5V. Operates as a shunt regulator
for supply voltages greater than 5.7V and should have a
resistor between this pin and the supply to limit VCC input
current to no greater than 5mA. When used without a cur-
rent-limiting resistor, pin voltage must not exceed 5.7V.
VM: Voltage Monitor Input to RST comparator. SEL1, SEL2
and TOL inputs select the exact threshold that asserts the
RST output.
WDI: Watchdog Input. This pin must be driven to change
state within a time less than the watchdog upper bound-
ary time, or RST will be asserted low. On the LTC2917-B,
LTC2918-B, the period must also be greater than the
watchdog lower boundary time, and only falling edges
are considered. Tie WT and WDI to GND to disable the
watchdog timer.
WT: Watchdog Timer Control Pin. Attach an external
capacitor (CWT) to GND to set a watchdog upper bound-
ary timeout time of 72ms/nF. Tie WT to VCC to generate a
timeout of approximately 1.6s. Leave WT open to generate
a timeout of approximately 3.2ms. Tie WT and WDI to GND
to disable the watchdog timer.
Exposed Pad (DFN Only): Exposed Pad may be left open
or connected to device ground.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Supply Monitoring
The LTC2917/LTC2918 are low voltage single supply
monitors with selectable thresholds. Two three-state inputs
select one of nine internally programmed thresholds. For
the LTC2917, a third three-state input selects the tolerance
at which the supply connected to the VM pin is monitored
(–5%, –10%, –15%). The tolerance for the LTC2918 is
xed at –5%. Threshold accuracy is guaranteed at ±1.5%
over the entire operating temperature range.
The LTC2917/LTC2918 asserts the RST output low when
VM is below the programmed threshold, and for a reset
timeout period (tRST) after VM goes above the threshold.
The reset timeout can be confi gured to use one of two
internal timers with no external components, or an ad-
justed timer programmed by placing an external capacitor
from RT to ground. Glitch fi ltering ensures reliable reset
operation without false triggering.
Power-Up
VCC powers the drive circuits for the RST pin. Therefore,
as soon as VCC reaches 0.8V during power up, the RST
output asserts low.
Until VCC reaches the undervoltage lockout threshold
(guaranteed less than 1.5V), RST is held low regardless
of the state of VM.
Once VCC is above the undervoltage lockout threshold
and VM is above the programmed threshold, the reset
timer is started. After the reset timeout, the open drain
pull-down releases RST and the external pull-up resistor
pulls high.
Power-Down
On power-down, once VM drops below its threshold or
VCC drops below the undervoltage lockout, RST asserts
logic low.
Monitor Threshold Control
The monitor threshold on the VM pin is controlled by
the SEL1, SEL2 and TOL three-state pins. The SEL1 and
SEL2 pins select one of nine preset nominal voltages
(including one externally adjustable threshold) as shown
in Table 1.
The SEL1 and SEL2 three-state input pins should be con-
nected to GND, VCC or left unconnected during normal
operation. Note that when left unconnected, the maximum
leakage allowable from the pin to either GND or VCC is
±5μA.
The tolerance at which the monitored supply is measured
is set by the TOL pin (LTC2917 only) as shown in Table 2.
If desired (e.g. for margining purposes), the TOL pin may
be driven by a three-state buffer. That three-state buffer
must have a VOL and VOH which meet the VIL and VIH of
the TOL pin specifi ed in the Electrical Characteristics, and
maintain less than 5μA of leakage in the open state.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Threshold Accuracy
The trip threshold for the supplies monitored is selected
by confi guring the three-state input pins. When using the
adjustable input, a external resistive divider sets the trip
threshold, allowing the user complete control over the
trip point. Selection of this trip voltage is crucial to the
reliability of the system.
Any power supply has some tolerance band within which
it is expected to operate (e.g. 5V±10%). It is generally
undesirable that a supervisor issue a reset when the power
supply is inside this tolerance band. Such a “nuisance”
reset reduces reliability by preventing the system from
functioning under normal conditions.
To prevent nuisance resets, the supervisor threshold must
be guaranteed to lie outside the power supply tolerance
band. To ensure that the threshold lies outside the power
supply tolerance range, the nominal threshold must lie out-
side that range by the monitors accuracy specifi cation.
All 27 of the selectable thresholds have the same relative
threshold accuracy of ±1.5% of the programmed nominal
input voltage (over the full operating temperature range).
Consider the example of monitoring a 5V supply with a 10%
tolerance. The nominal threshold internal to the LTC2917
is 11.5% below the 5V input at 4.425V. With ±1.5% ac-
curacy, the trip threshold range is 4.425V±75mV over
temperature (i.e. 10% to 13% below 5V). The monitored
system must thus operate reliably down to 4.35V or 13%
below 5V over temperature.
Glitch Immunity
The above discussion is concerned only with the DC
value of the monitored supply. Real supplies also have
relatively high-frequency variation, from sources such as
load transients, noise, and pickup. These variations should
not be considered by the monitor in determining whether
a supply voltage is valid or not. The variations may cause
spurious outputs at RST, particularly if the supply voltage
is near its trip threshold.
Two techniques are used to combat spurious reset without
sacrifi cing threshold accuracy. First, the timeout period
helps prevent high-frequency variation whose frequency
is above 1/ tRST from appearing at the RST output.
When the voltage at VM goes below the threshold, the
RST pin asserts low. When the supply recovers past
the threshold, the reset timer starts (assuming it is not
disabled), and RST does not go high until it fi nishes. If
the supply becomes invalid any time during the timeout
period, the timer resets and starts a fresh when the supply
next becomes valid.
While the reset timeout is useful at preventing toggling
of the reset output in most cases, it is not effective at
preventing nuisance resets due to short glitches (due to
load transients or other effects) on a valid supply.
To reduce sensitivity to these short glitches, the comparator
has additional anti-glitch circuitry. Any transient at the input
of the comparator needs to be of suffi cient magnitude and
duration tUV before it can change the monitor state.
The combination of the reset timeout and anti-glitch cir-
cuitry prevents spurious changes in output state without
sacrifi cing threshold accuracy.
Adjustable Input
When the monitor threshold is confi gured as ADJ, the
internal comparator input is connected to the pin without
a resistive divider, and the pin is high-impedance. Thus,
any desired threshold may be chosen by attaching VM to
a tap point on an external resistive divider between the
monitored supply and ground, as shown in Figure 1.

Adjustable Threshold.

The reference input of the comparator is controlled by the
tolerance pin. The external resistive divider should make
the voltage at VM = 0.5V when the supply is at nominal
value. The actual threshold of VM accounts for the sup-
ply tolerance of ±1.5% guaranteed over the full operating
temperature range. The resulting tolerances are –6.5%,
–11.5%, –16.5% which correspond to 0.468V, 0.443V,
0.418V respectively.
Typically, the user will pick a value of R1 based on accept-
able current draw. Current used by the resistor divider will
be approximately:
RV
I
105
=
.
Recommended range of R1 is 1k—1M. Higher values of
resistance exacerbate the degradation of threshold ac-
curacy due to leakage currents.
If the nominal value of the supply being monitored is
VNOM, then
R2 = R1(2VNOM – 1)
Resistor tolerances must be taken into account when
determining the overall accuracy.
Selecting the Reset Timing Capacitor
The reset timeout period can be set to one of two fi xed
internal timers or set with a capacitor in order to accom-
modate a variety of applications. Connecting a capacitor,
CRT
, between the RT pin and ground sets the reset timeout
period, tRST
. The following formula approximates the value
of capacitor needed for a particular timeout:
C
RT = tRST • 110 [pF/ms]
For example, using a standard capacitor value of 2.2nF
would give a 20ms timeout.
Figure 2 shows the desired reset timeout period as a
function of the value of the timer capacitor.
Leaving RT open with no external capacitor generates a
reset timeout of approximately 400μs. Shorting RT to VCC
generates a reset timeout of approximately 200ms.
RST Output Characteristics
The DC characteristics of the RST pull-down strength
are shown in the Typical Performance Characteristics
section. RST is an open-drain pin and thus requires an
external pull-up resistor to the logic supply. RST may be
pulled above VCC, providing the voltage limits of the pin
are observed.
The open-drain of the RST pin allows for wired-OR con-
nection of several LTC2917/LTC2918’s.
Watchdog
LTC2917-A/LTC2918-A
A standard watchdog function is used to ensure that the
system is in a valid state by continuously monitoring
the microprocessors activity. The microprocessor must
toggle the logic state of the WDI pin periodically (within
upper boundary) in order to clear the watchdog timer. If
timeout occurs, the LTC2917-A/LTC2918-A asserts RST
low for the reset timeout period, issuing a system reset.
Once the reset timeout completes, RST is released to go
high and the watchdog timer starts again.
During power-up, the watchdog timer remains cleared while
RST is asserted low. As soon as the reset timer times out,
RST goes high and the watchdog timer is started.

LTC2917-B/LTC2918-B
For applications in which reliability is even more critical,
the LTC2917-B/LTC2918-B implements a windowed watch-
dog function by adding a lower boundary condition to the
standard watchdog function. If the WDI input receives a
falling edge prior to the watchdog lower boundary, the
part considers this a watchdog failure, and asserts RST
low (releasing again after the reset timeout period as
described above). The LTC2917-B/LTC2918-B WDI input
only responds to falling edges.
Setting the Watchdog Timeout Period
The watchdog timeout period is adjustable and can be
optimized for software execution. The watchdog timeout
period is adjusted by connecting a capacitor between WT
and ground. Given a specifi ed watchdog timeout period,
the capacitor is determined by:
C
WT = tWD • 13.8 [nF/s]
For example, using a standard capacitor value of 0.047μF
would give a 3.4s watchdog timeout period.
Leaving WT open with no external capacitor generates
a timeout of approximately 3.2ms. Shorting WT to VCC
generates a timeout of approximately 1.6s. Connecting
WT to GND disables the watchdog function.
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Manual Reset (LTC2918 Only)
The LTC2918 includes the MR pin for applications where a
manual reset is desired. MR is internally pulled up, making
it ready to interface with a push button with no external
components required. Asserting MR low when RST is high
initiates a reset, resulting in RST being asserted low for
the reset timeout time.
Shunt Regulator
The LTC2917 and LTC2918 contain an internal 6.2V shunt
regulator on the VCC pin to allow operation from a high
voltage supply. To operate the part from a supply higher
than 5.7V, the VCC pin must have a series resistor, RCC,
to the supply. See Figure 3. This resistor should be sized
according to the following equation:
VV

A
SMAX
CC
SMIN() ()
.≤≤ 57

250μ
where VS(MIN) and VS(MAX) are the operating minimum
and maximum of the supply.
As an example, consider operation from an automobile
battery which might dip as low as 10V or spike to 60V. We
must then pick a resistance between 10.86k and 12k.
