LTC2960CTS8-3

Supervisors Overview

The LTC2960CTS8-3#TRMPBF is a dual-channel supervisory circuit manufactured by Analog Devices Inc., designed for monitoring two independent voltage rails. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2.5 V to 36 V and features an ultra-low quiescent current of 850 nA, making it suitable for power-sensitive applications. The device is housed in a compact SOT-23-8 surface-mount package and provides push-pull/totem pole outputs with active-low reset signals. It includes a programmable timeout period with a minimum duration of 140 ms to ensure stable system recovery.

Supervisors Feature Summary

• Dual-channel voltage supervision with adjustable or selectable threshold voltages
• Ultra-low 850 nA operating supply current for energy-efficient designs
• Active-low reset output with configurable timeout delay
• Wide input voltage capability up to 36 V

Supervisors Applications

• Portable electronics requiring multi-rail power management
• Battery-operated devices needing low standby current
• Industrial control systems with multiple voltage domains
• Embedded systems requiring reliable power-on reset sequences

Supervisors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix #TRMPBF indicates tape-and-reel packaging when sourcing from distributors. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation prior to integration. Ensure the SOT-23-8 footprint matches the target PCB layout constraints. Cross-reference the datasheet for thermal performance requirements under maximum load conditions.

Supervisors Selection Notes

Select this component when dual-voltage monitoring is required alongside minimal quiescent current consumption. The wide input range supports various battery chemistries and regulated rails. Consider the push-pull output drive capability for direct interfacing with microcontroller reset pins. Evaluate the 140 ms minimum timeout against system startup timing requirements.

Supervisors Part Context

This part belongs to the LTC2960 series of nano-power supervisory circuits. It shares the same core architecture as other variants in the family but differs in package type and specific electrical characteristics. The CTS8 designation identifies the commercial temperature grade and SOT-23-8 thin profile packaging.

Supervisors Replacement Considerations

LTC2960ITS8-4#TRMPBF serves as a parameter-equivalent alternative within the same product line.
