LTC2960CTS8-2

LTC2960CTS8-2 Application Field and Working Principle

LTc2960CTS8-2 is a feature-rich micropower supervisor product. It belongs to one type of device called PMIC (Power Management IC). PMICs combine multiple functions in a single power management integrated circuit (IC). The LTc2960CTS8-2 combines voltage monitoring, sequencing and system reset in a single package. Other functions of PMICs include power system sequencing and monitoring, power switch control, battery charging, and protection.

Application Fields

The LTC2960CTS8-2 offers an ideal solution for any system requiring precision voltage monitoring and system reset. It is ideal for automatic system reset and safety shutdown in automotive, industrial control, medical devices, and many other applications. The device has been designed to monitor power supply voltage levels and provide system reset functions when VDD falls below a preset threshold.

The LTC2960CTS8-2 can be used in applications such as automotive systems, industrial control systems, medical devices and more. It can be used to detect a wide range of voltages, including low battery voltage detection, as well as over-voltage and under-voltage protection for critical components.

Working Principle

The LTC2960CTS8-2 monitors the voltage levels of over-voltage and under-voltage conditions, and generates a reset signal when a preset minimum voltage level is not present. It also has a wide range of voltage thresholds that can be programmed to suit the application. This feature makes it suitable for multiple system monitoring purposes, including low battery and overvoltage protection systems.

The device also contains a watchdog timer to detect system lockups, as well as programmable time-out values to provide a reset in the event of a system lockup. The reset can also be triggered externally through the reset input pins if desired. The output signal can be used to reset the system, initiate a system shutdown, or even power down an external device.

In addition, the LTC2960CTS8-2 also has a power-on reset function, which resets the system when power is applied. This helps to ensure that the reset sequence is completed before any other system operations are attempted, thus eliminating the risk of resetting during system operation.

Conclusion

The LTC2960CTS8-2 is a powerful PMIC that combines voltage monitoring, sequencing and system reset in a single package. It has been designed to suit a range of applications, and offers an accurate and reliable solution for system reset and safety shutdown. It is ideal for applications that require precise voltage monitoring and resetting, such as industrial and automotive systems, and medical devices.
