Product details
Overview
LTC1232IS8#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a precision microprocessor supervisory circuit with integrated watchdog timer, push-button reset control, and dual-threshold voltage monitoring. It guarantees RST assertion down to VCC = 1V, features 4.62V/4.37V precision trip points (TOL = GND/VCC), 600ms power-ok delay (TD floating), and consumes ≤2.0mA supply current. It serves as a critical reset and power-fail monitor in automotive ECUs and industrial controllers.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1232IS8#TRPBF datasheet, LTC1232IS8#TRPBF pinout, LTC1232IS8#TRPBF application, or LTC1232IS8#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed reset at 1V VCC, selectable watchdog timeout (150ms/600ms/1.2s via TD pin), dual VCC threshold configuration (5% or 10% hysteresis), open-drain RST output with 250ms minimum active pulse width, and SO-8 package compatibility for space-constrained embedded designs.
Technical Context
The LTC1232IS8#TRPBF implements a bandgap-referenced precision comparator for VCC monitoring with 40mV hysteresis and temperature-stable trip points (±0.01V over –40°C to +85°C). Its internal watchdog timer uses an RC-based oscillator whose timeout period is selected by the TD pin's logic state-GND (150ms), floating (600ms), or VCC (1.2s)-and resets on each ST pin high-to-low transition.
It integrates three independent reset sources: power-supply undervoltage detection, external strobe timeout, and debounced push-button input (PB RST). The RST output remains valid down to 1V VCC due to dedicated low-voltage logic, while RST provides complementary active-high reset signaling-all within a single 8-pin SOIC package without external timing components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Trip Point | 4.62V (TOL = GND) or 4.37V (TOL = VCC); enables precise 5% or 10% supply tolerance monitoring |
| Reset Active Time | 250–1000ms; ensures stable µP initialization after power-up, brownout, or PB RST release |
| Watchdog Timeout | 600ms (TD floating); configurable safety interval for µP firmware liveliness checks |
| Supply Current | 0.5–2.0mA; supports low-power operation in battery-backed or energy-sensitive systems |
| RST Output Voltage @ VCC=1V | ≤200mV at 10µA sink; guarantees reliable reset hold-down during deep brownout |
| Input Leakage | ±1µA; minimizes loading on PB RST and ST lines in high-impedance control paths |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C; qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial ambient environments |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead plastic SO (SO-8, narrow 0.150-inch body), RoHS-compliant, JEDEC MS-012AC compliant, θJA = 180°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC | 5V Supply Input | Bypassed with 0.1µF capacitor; powers all internal circuits and defines reference for trip point |
| GND | Ground Reference | Common return path for analog comparator, digital logic, and output drivers |
| RST | Open-Drain Reset Output | Active-low µP reset signal; requires external pull-up; sinks ≥2mA at 0.4V |
| RST | Active-High Reset Output | Complementary to RST; drives high when RST is low; push-pull structure |
| PB RST | Debounced Push-Button Input | Internally pulled up to VCC (10kΩ typical); accepts active-low button press ≥40ms |
| ST | Watchdog Strobe Input | Resets watchdog timer on high-to-low transition; must be toggled within timeout period |
| TOL | Threshold Selection Input | Connect to GND for 4.62V trip (5% tolerance) or VCC for 4.37V trip (10% tolerance) |
| TD | Time-Out Delay Selection | Three-state input: GND = 150ms, floating = 600ms, VCC = 1.2s watchdog timeout |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC699CMS8#TRPBF | Single 4.65V threshold; no TOL pin; fixed 600ms watchdog; no PB RST pin | Lacks push-button reset and dual-threshold flexibility; simpler BOM where only one supply margin is required | Select when system requires only basic 5V monitoring and watchdog without manual reset or tolerance switching |
| LTC1726-5IMS8#TRPBF | Triple supply monitor (5V/3.3V/ADJ); adjustable watchdog timeout; open-drain RST only | Supports multi-rail systems; requires external resistors for ADJ threshold; higher pin count (8-pin MSOP) | Choose for designs needing concurrent monitoring of 5V, 3.3V, and custom rails-adds complexity but expands coverage |
Compared with LTC699CMS8#TRPBF and LTC1726-5IMS8#TRPBF, the LTC1232IS8#TRPBF uniquely combines dual-threshold VCC monitoring, hardware-debounced push-button reset, and three-step watchdog configuration in a standard SO-8 footprint-making it optimal for cost-sensitive, single-rail industrial and automotive controllers requiring maximum functional integration per pin.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed minimum VCC level at which LTC1232IS8#TRPBF maintains valid RST assertion?
The LTC1232IS8#TRPBF guarantees RST remains logic low even when VCC drops to 1V, ensuring robust reset hold-down during severe brownout conditions. This specification is verified across the full –40°C to +85°C operating range and is enabled by dedicated low-voltage circuitry-not extrapolated from typical behavior. The LTC1232IS8#TRPBF achieves this using an internal charge-pump-assisted output stage that sustains drive capability below conventional CMOS thresholds.
How does the TD pin configure watchdog timeout on LTC1232IS8#TRPBF, and what are the exact values?
The TD pin on LTC1232IS8#TRPBF selects watchdog timeout via three distinct states: grounded (150ms typ), left floating (600ms typ), or tied to VCC (1.2s typ). These values are measured at VCC = 5V and –40°C to +85°C, with min/max bounds of 60–250ms, 250–1000ms, and 500–2000ms respectively. The LTC1232IS8#TRPBF uses an internal RC oscillator whose frequency is trimmed to meet these tolerances without external components.
Can LTC1232IS8#TRPBF monitor both 5V and 3.3V rails simultaneously?
No, the LTC1232IS8#TRPBF is designed exclusively for 5V supply monitoring with two selectable thresholds (4.62V or 4.37V). It lacks dedicated inputs or internal references for 3.3V supervision. For multi-rail systems, Analog Devices recommends alternatives such as LTC1726-5IMS8#TRPBF (5V/3.3V/adjustable) or LTC1326 (triple monitor with ±0.75% accuracy). The LTC1232IS8#TRPBF's architecture centers on optimizing single-rail reliability-not rail versatility.
What is the function of the TOL pin on LTC1232IS8#TRPBF, and how does it affect reset behavior?
The TOL pin on LTC1232IS8#TRPBF selects between two precision VCC trip points: connecting TOL to GND sets the threshold to 4.62V (5% tolerance), while connecting it to VCC sets 4.37V (10% tolerance). This allows one device to adapt to varying system-level supply stability requirements-e.g., tighter regulation in computing vs. looser margins in automotive. The LTC1232IS8#TRPBF's internal comparator uses the same bandgap reference for both modes, ensuring consistent accuracy and hysteresis (40mV) regardless of TOL state.
Does LTC1232IS8#TRPBF require external components for basic operation, and if so, which ones?
The LTC1232IS8#TRPBF requires only a 0.1µF ceramic bypass capacitor on the VCC pin for stable operation-no external resistors, capacitors, or pull-ups are needed for core functions (power monitoring, watchdog, push-button reset). External pull-up on RST is necessary for open-drain operation, but RST is push-pull and needs no external network. The LTC1232IS8#TRPBF achieves minimal BOM count by integrating precision reference, comparator, timer, debounce logic, and output drivers into a single SO-8 package.
