APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO

The LTC2919 is a low power, high accuracy triple/dual

supply monitor with two adjustable inputs and an accurate

UVLO that can monitor a third supply. Reset timeout may

be selected with an external capacitor, set to an internally

generated 200ms, or disabled entirely.

The three-state polarity select pin (SEL) chooses one of

three possible polarity combinations for the adjustable

input thresholds, as described in Table 1. An individual

output is released when its corresponding ADJ input is

valid (above threshold if configured for positive polarity,

below threshold if configured for negative polarity).

timeout period before RST is released. The LTC2919 as-

serts the reset output during power-up, power-down and

brownout conditions on any of the voltage inputs.

Power-Up

The LTC2919 uses proprietary low voltage drive circuitry

for the RST, OUT1 and OUT2 pins which holds them low

minate voltages from appearing on the outputs during

power-up.

In applications where the low voltage pull-down capabil-

ity is important, the supply to which the external pull-up

resistor connects should be the same supply which pow-

ers the part. Using the same supply for both ensures that

RST, OUT1 and OUT2 never float above 200mV during

power-up, as the pull-down ability of the pin will then

increase as the required pull-down current to maintain a

logic low increases.

timer initialization will occur. If the monitored ADJ input is

valid, the corresponding OUT will be released. When both

ADJ1 and ADJ2 are valid, the appropriate timeout delay

will begin, after which RST will be released.

Power-Down

of at least 0.5V guarantees a logic low of 0.15V at RST.

Shunt Regulator

The LTC2919 contains an internal 6.5V shunt regulator on

the supply. This resistor should be sized according to the

following equation:

V

10mA

V

the user expects to draw from the reference output.

As an example, consider operation from an automobile bat-

tery which might dip as low as 10V or spike to 60V. Assume

that the user will be drawing 100μA from the reference. We

must then pick a resistance between 5.4k and 10.7k.

it is important that the supply voltage never exceed 6V,

or the shunt regulator may begin to draw large currents.

Some supplies may have a nominal value sufficiently

close to the shunt regulation voltage to prevent sizing of

the resistor according to the above equation. For such

supplies, a 470Ω series resistor may be used.

Adjust Polarity Selection

The external connection of the SEL pin selects the polarities

of the LTC2919 adjustable inputs. SEL may be connected

normal operation. When left unconnected, the maximum

leakage allowable from the pin is ±5μA. Table 1 shows

the three possible selections of polarity based on SEL

connection.
