Working Principle of the LTC2960/LTC2960CDC-2#TRPBF

The LTC2960/LTC2960CDC-2#TRPBF is a simple yet robust programmable supervisors. It consists of two independent channels; one for voltage monitoring and one for temperature monitoring. Each programmable voltage channel includes a voltage reference, comparator, and a programmable timer. This channel can be set to detect overvoltage, undervoltage, or both.

The temperature channel consists of an on-chip resistance and a capacitive sensing element. This channel can be set to detect a short, open, or overtemperature condition. In addition, the temperature channel features a programmable trip point, adjustable hysteresis, and temperature conversion rate.

When either of the channels senses an out-of-range condition, the LTC2960/LTC2960CDC-2#TRPBF will trigger its interrupt or reset sequence. This sequence can be set to a certain length, further allowing for customizing the response of the device. When the fault is cleared, the device will reset itself, allowing the system to continue normal operation.

Overall, Linear Technology’s LTC2960/LTC2960CDC-2#TRPBF is a powerful and versatile PMIC that can be used for a variety of applications. This device can be used to monitor overvoltage, undervoltage, and overtemperature conditions, and can also provide an interrupt or reset signal upon detection of such conditions. This ensures power supply, temperature, and fault monitoring are fully function and protected.
