Analog Device's ADM1184/86 Voltage Monitors Now Available at Digi-Key
Digi-Key Corporation
From Digi-Key, Analog Device's ADM1184/86 voltage monitors provide industry-leading accuracy and a high level of functional integration in tiny packages.
Monitoring four channels of voltage simultaneously, the ADM1184 and ADM1186 can be powered from a 2.7 V to 5.5 V supply. Four 0.6 V precision comparators monitor the voltage rails with a worst-case accuracy of ±0.8%. Resistor networks that are external to the VIN1, VIN2, VIN3, and VIN4 pins set the trip points for the monitored supply rails. The ADM1184 is available in a 10-lead MSOP package, while the ADM1186 is available in a 16-lead and 20-lead quad QSOP.
