LTC2919
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
If the user’s application requires, the SEL pin may be
driven using a three-state buffer which satisfies the VIL,
VIH and leakage conditions of this three-state input pin.
If the state of the SEL pin configures a given input as
“negative polarity,” the voltage at that ADJ pin must be
below the trip point (0.5V nominal), or the correspond-
ing OUT and RST output will be pulled low. Conversely,
if a given input is configured as “positive polarity”, the
ADJ pin voltage must be above the trip point or the cor-
responding OUT and RST will assert low.
Thus, a “negative polarity” input may be used to deter-
mine whether a monitored negative voltage is smaller in
absolute value than it should be (–UV), or a monitored
positive voltage is larger than it should be (+OV). The
opposite is true for a “positive polarity” input (–OV or
+UV). These polarity definitions are also shown in Table 1.
For purposes of this data sheet, a negative voltage is con-
sidered “undervoltage” if it is closer to ground than it
should be (e.g., –4.3V for a –5V supply).
Proper configuration of the SEL pin and setting of the
trip-points via external resistors allows for any two fault
conditions to be detected. For example, the LTC2919 may
monitor two supplies (positive, negative or one of each)
for UV or for OV (or one UV and one OV). It may also
monitor a single supply (positive or negative) for both
UV and OV. Table 2a and Table 2b show example con-
figurations for monitoring possible combinations of fault
condition and supply polarity.

Connections are Shown Only for ADJ1, ADJ2, REF, SEL, OUT1 and OUT2. Output Pull-up Resistors are Omitted for Clarity.
