LTC2960HTS8-2#TRPBF

Power Management Integrated Circles (PMICs) are increasingly being used as dedicated integrated circuit solutions for managing electrical systems. PMICs, also known as supervisors, can provide a range of functions to optimize the efficiency of electrical systems, with the primary benefit for designers being a reduced bill of materials. The LTC2960HTS8-2#TRPBF application field and working principle, a PMIC - Supervisor, is explained.

The LTC2960HTS8-2#TRPBF is a supervisor IC designed to provide a low EMI external logic supply, asynchronous tasks reset, debouncing, an optional programmable reset timeout, and a power-on reset delay. It features a wide input voltage range (0.8V to 8V minimum), low quiescent current, and a wide operating temperature range (-40°C to 125°C). This explains its widespread application across many industries and applications. It is primarily used in industrial and automotive applications, from power management and motor control applications, to analog front-ends, RF transceivers, and wireless systems.

LTC2960HTS8-2#TRPBF works according to the following principle: When the power supply drops below the reset threshold voltage, the device deasserts the reset output and issues a reset pulse. The reset output also issue a reset pulse when the power supply rises above the reset threshold voltage. The time it takes for the reset output to go low is programmable with an on-chip oscillator. Additionally, a debounce feature is incorporated to debounce the reset output and to suppress spikes on the reset pulse.

The LTC2960HTS8-2#TRPBF has a built-in watchdog timer that can be used for system integrity monitoring. It monitors the status of reset and can be programmed to reset the system when it times-out. The supervisor also has an output control feature that enables it to generate a reset output pulse to control the system. Moreover, the supervisor has an on-chip temperature sensor that is used to monitor the temperature of the system. This can be used to trigger a system reset or to generate a warning signal.

The LTC2960HTS8-2#TRPBF has a number of features that make it an ideal choice for a variety of applications. These features include its wide input voltage range, low quiescent current, and its wide operating temperature range. In addition, it has an internal voltage reference, flexible reset control, and a temperature sensor. With the help of these features, the LTC2960HTS8-2#TRPBF is able to provide a comprehensive solution for managing system power and ensuring system reliability and integrity.
