create situations where the VH or VL pins exceeds the
–0.3V absolute maximum voltage ratings. To ensure that
the LTC2914 operates within its design specifications,
utilize the equations shown below to determine proper
resistor sizing for the circuit in Figure 5. In the following
example, the undervoltage trip point is –6V. The overvolt-
age trip point is –30V.
1A. Find RAUV and RBUV and let node A be a virtual ground,
which ensures that the diode current will not affect the
voltage monitor threshold accuracy. Let the resistive
divider current Ind = 10µA.

VREF – 0.5V
Ind
=

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 LTC2914 is guaranteed to assert UV low and OV high
under conditions of low VCC, down to VCC = 1V. Above VCC
= 2V (2.1V maximum) the VH and VL inputs take control.
Once all VH inputs and VCC become valid an internal timer
is started. After an adjustable delay time, UV weakly pulls
high.
