LTC2960CDC-2

Supervisors Overview

The LTC2960CDC-2 is a dual-channel voltage supervisor manufactured by Analog Devices Inc., designed for monitoring two independent power rails. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2.5 V to 36 V and features adjustable threshold voltages for flexible configuration. The device provides an open-drain reset output with a fixed 200 ms reset delay timer. It supports manual reset functionality and lacks integrated watchdog or battery backup switching features. The component is housed in an 8-pin DFN package and maintains an accuracy of 1.5% across the operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, consuming only 850 nA of quiescent current.

Supervisors Feature Summary

Supervisors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix and tape-and-reel packaging designation when ordering to ensure compatibility with automated assembly processes. Confirm that the selected variant matches the required threshold settings and package dimensions for your PCB layout. Cross-reference the manufacturer's latest datasheet to validate electrical characteristics against your system's operational limits before finalizing procurement.

Supervisors Selection Notes

Select this component when dual-vail monitoring is required with minimal power consumption. The adjustable thresholds allow customization for various logic levels without external resistors. Ensure the application environment stays within the specified temperature range. Consider the open-drain output requirement for pull-up resistor integration. Verify that the absence of a watchdog timer aligns with the system's fault management strategy.
