DESCRIPTIO
Tracks Multiple Supplies with MOSFET Switches
Monitors 5 Input Voltages Including V
CC
Guaranteed Threshold Accuracy:
±1%
at 0.5V
Automatic Remote Sense Switching
Adjustable Supply Ramp Rate
Overvoltage Monitor
Adjustable Electronic Circuit Breaker
Adjustable Power-Good Delay
Available for V
CC
Supply Voltages of 5V, 3.3V and 2.5V
Available in 16-Pin Narrow SSOP (LTC2921 Series)
and 20-Pin TSSOP (LTC2922 Series)
The LTC
®
2921 and LTC2922 monitor up to five supplies
and force them to track on power-up in multiple supply
systems. Using external N-channel pass transistors, the
supplies can be ramped up at an adjustable rate. Auto-
matic remote sense switching allows the DC/DC convert-
ers to compensate for series voltage drops in the wiring.
An incorrect level on one or more of the supplies triggers
disconnect of all supplies. Tight 1% accuracy and glitch
immunity on the low 0.5V monitoring level ensure no false
error disconnects.
The LTC2921 and LTC2922 each feature an adjustable
electronic circuit breaker to protect the V
CC
supply against
short circuits. Capacitance at the TIMER pin programs the
delays in the monitoring sequence.
The LTC2921 includes three remote sense switches in a
16-pin narrow SSOP package, while the LTC2922 includes
five remote sense switches in a 20-pin TSSOP package.
Both parts are available for V
CC
supply voltages of 5V,
3.3V, and 2.5V.

Note 1:
Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life
of a device may be impaired.
Note 2:
T
J
is calculated from the ambient temperature T
A
and power
dissipation P
D
as follows:
LTC2921 Series: T
J
= T
A
+ (P

Note 3:
This specification applies to all switches, and is measured with

.
Note 4:
The PG pin will rise to approximately the same voltage as the
GATE pin when not pulled up or pulled down by external resistance.
