LTC6993MPS6-3#TRMPBF

Multivibrators Overview

The LTC6993MPS6-3#TRMPBF is a monostable multivibrator from the TimerBlox family, manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. It operates on a single supply voltage ranging from 2.25V to 5.5V and features a programmable output pulse width spanning from 1µs to 33.6 seconds. The device utilizes a master oscillator frequency set by an external resistor (RSET) and an internal clock divider (NDIV). This specific variant is configured for falling-edge triggering without retrigger capability. It is housed in a 6-lead Plastic TSOT-23 package and is qualified for automotive applications with an operating temperature range of –55°C to 125°C.

Multivibrators Feature Summary

• Configurable as a monostable pulse generator with falling-edge trigger sensitivity
• Programmable pulse width via external resistor and internal divider settings
• Capable of generating positive or negative output pulses through polarity control
• Designed for low power consumption suitable for battery-powered equipment

Multivibrators Applications

• Watchdog timer circuits
• Frequency discriminators
• Missing pulse detection systems
• Envelope detectors
• High vibration and high acceleration environments

Multivibrators Procurement Notes

Verify the exact part number suffix against official Analog Devices documentation to confirm package type and temperature grade. Ensure compatibility with automotive quality standards if required. Confirm availability status with authorized distributors as supply conditions may vary. Validate that the falling-edge trigger configuration matches the system design requirements before procurement.

Multivibrators Selection Notes

Select this component when a falling-edge triggered monostable multivibrator is required within harsh thermal environments. The MPS6 suffix indicates the military/automotive grade version with extended temperature range. Consider the NDIV setting and RSET value to achieve the desired pulse width accuracy. Verify that the CMOS output driver current capabilities meet the load requirements of the downstream circuitry.

Multivibrators Part Context

This part belongs to the LTC6993 series of TimerBlox silicon timing devices. It shares functional similarities with other variants like the LTC6993IS6-3 but differs in temperature rating and qualification. The series offers multiple trigger polarities and retrigger options. The MPS6 package variant provides robust performance for demanding industrial and automotive applications compared to standard commercial grades.
