LTC2960ITS8-2

Supervisors Overview

The LTC2960ITS8-2 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 time to ensure system stability during power transitions. It supports manual reset functionality and lacks integrated watchdog or battery backup switching features. Operating temperatures span from -40°C to +85°C, with a typical quiescent current of 850 nA and accuracy of 1.5%. The component is housed in an SOT-23-8 surface-mount package.

Supervisors Feature Summary

• Dual-channel voltage monitoring capability for independent power rail supervision
• Adjustable threshold voltage settings allowing customized trip point configurations
• Open-drain reset output with defined 200 ms delay for stable system recovery

Supervisors Applications

• Multi-rail power supply monitoring in embedded systems
• Voltage supervision for portable electronic devices requiring low quiescent current
• Industrial control circuits needing fault protection against under-voltage conditions

Supervisors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix designation to confirm the exact threshold voltage configuration, as the LTC2960 series utilizes numeric suffixes to denote different factory-set or selectable voltage levels. Ensure the ordering part number matches the required electrical parameters for your design. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation prior to procurement. Cross-reference the datasheet revision date to ensure compatibility with your system requirements.

Supervisors Selection Notes

Select this component when dual independent voltage monitoring is required within a compact SOT-23-8 footprint. The adjustable thresholds offer flexibility compared to fixed-threshold supervisors. Consider the 200 ms reset delay duration relative to your system's startup sequence timing. Verify that the 36 V maximum input rating aligns with your highest potential supply rail. Evaluate the 850 nA quiescent current impact on overall system power budget.

Supervisors Part Context

This component belongs to the LTC2960 family of Nano-C dual-input voltage monitors. It shares the same core architecture and pinout with variants such as the LTC2960ITS8-1 and LTC2960ITS8-3, differing primarily in their internal threshold voltage configurations. The ITS8-2 variant specifically targets applications requiring its designated voltage trip points while maintaining the high accuracy and low power consumption characteristics of the broader series.
