Product details
Overview
LTC1726ES8-2.5#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a triple supply monitor and microprocessor supervisory IC designed to simultaneously supervise 2.5V, 3.3V, and an adjustable voltage rail in embedded systems. It features ±1.5% threshold accuracy over temperature, 16µA typical supply current, adjustable reset timeout (via RT pin capacitor), and adjustable watchdog timeout (via WT pin capacitor). It delivers reliable power-on reset and brownout protection for portable battery-powered equipment and network servers.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1726ES8-2.5#PBF datasheet, LTC1726ES8-2.5#PBF pinout, LTC1726ES8-2.5#PBF application, or LTC1726ES8-2.5#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.5V/3.3V/ADJ monitoring capability, guaranteed RST assertion down to VCC3 ≥ 1V or VCC25 ≥ 1V, open-drain active-low reset output, and MSOP/SO-8 package compatibility with industrial temperature range (–40°C to 85°C).
Technical Context
The LTC1726ES8-2.5#PBF implements independent comparator-based monitoring of three voltage inputs: VCC25 (2.5V rail), VCC3 (3.3V rail), and VCCA (adjustable rail, nominal 1V trip). All three must exceed their respective thresholds-2.337V (VCC25), 3.085V (VCC3), and 1.000V (VCCA)-to deassert the open-drain RST output.
Reset assertion timing is controlled by an external capacitor on the RT pin (tRT = 3.30 × CRT), while watchdog timeout is set via CWT on the WT pin (tWT = 21.8 × CWT). The device draws power from whichever of VCC25 or VCC3 is higher, ensuring RST remains valid down to 1V on either supply.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC25 Threshold | 2.337V (±1.5% over temp); ensures accurate 2.5V rail supervision without false resets during voltage droop |
| VCC3 Threshold | 3.085V (±1.5% over temp); guarantees robust 3.3V supply monitoring across –40°C to 85°C |
| VCCA Threshold | 1.000V (±1.5% over temp); supports precise supervision of adjustable or low-voltage rails (e.g., 1.8V via divider) |
| Supply Current | 16µA typical; enables use in ultra-low-power battery-operated systems without compromising supervision integrity |
| RST Output Type | Active-low open-drain with weak internal pull-up to VCC3; allows flexible logic-level interfacing and wired-OR reset bus implementation |
| Reset Timeout Range | Adjustable from ~5ms to >1s via 1500pF–47nF capacitor on RT pin; accommodates diverse µP startup timing requirements |
| Watchdog Timeout Range | Adjustable from ~33ms to >1s via 1500pF–47nF capacitor on WT pin; aligns with software execution cycles for reliable fault detection |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-Lead Plastic SO (S8), narrow 0.150-inch body, RoHS-compliant lead-free finish (PBF), operating temperature range –40°C to 85°C.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC3 (Pin 1) | 3.3V supply sense input and auxiliary power source | Monitors 3.3V rail; powers internal circuitry when VCC3 > VCC25; requires 0.1µF ceramic bypass to GND |
| VCC25 (Pin 2) | 2.5V supply sense input and primary power source | Monitors 2.5V rail; powers internal circuitry when VCC25 > VCC3; requires 0.1µF ceramic bypass to GND |
| VCCA (Pin 3) | Adjustable rail sense input (1V nominal threshold) | Supports supervision of user-defined voltages (e.g., 1.8V via resistor divider); high-impedance input, can be tied to VCC3 or VCC25 if unused |
| GND (Pin 4) | Ground reference | Common return path for all analog comparators and digital logic; must be low-impedance connection |
| WDI (Pin 5) | Watchdog input trigger | Edge-sensitive input (rising/falling); must be toggled within tWT period to prevent reset; leakage ±1µA |
| RST (Pin 6) | Active-low open-drain reset output | Asserted low during power-up, brownout, or watchdog timeout; weak internal pull-up to VCC3 (~6µA); supports external pull-up to higher voltage |
| WT (Pin 7) | Watchdog timeout timing node | Capacitor-connected node (CWT to GND); sets tWT = 21.8 × CWT (µs); grounding disables watchdog function |
| RT (Pin 8) | Reset timeout timing node | Capacitor-connected node (CRT to GND); sets tRT = 3.30 × CRT (µs); determines minimum reset pulse width after power stabilization |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Triple-supply monitoring with configurable rail selection | Simultaneously supervises 2.5V, 3.3V, and adjustable rail; supports dual-rail operation (e.g., disable VCCA) via pin strapping |
| ±1.5% threshold accuracy over full temperature range | Eliminates need for external calibration; ensures deterministic reset behavior across –40°C to 85°C without derating |
| Glitch-immune reset generation | Immune to sub-130µs supply transients; prevents spurious resets during noisy power sequencing or ESD events |
| Guaranteed RST validity down to 1V supply | Ensures correct reset state even during deep brownout on VCC25 or VCC3, critical for safe system shutdown |
| Low 16µA quiescent current | Reduces standby power in always-on subsystems; extends battery life in portable instrumentation and IoT edge nodes |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar triple-supply monitoring applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC1326-2.5 | ±0.75% threshold accuracy (tighter), 5V/3.3V/ADJ variant not applicable; same 2.5V/3.3V/ADJ monitoring capability | Higher accuracy required for precision data acquisition systems where 1.5% drift could affect calibration stability | Select LTC1326-2.5 when absolute threshold tolerance is critical; note higher cost and identical SO-8 footprint |
| LTC1727-2.5 | Individual open-drain RST outputs per rail (RST25, RST3, RSTA) vs. single shared RST; same ±1.5% accuracy and timing adjustability | Required when system diagnostics need to identify which specific rail failed (e.g., server BMC logging) | Choose LTC1727-2.5 for fault-isolation capability; accepts same external capacitors but requires additional PCB routing |
Compared with LTC1326-2.5 and LTC1727-2.5, the LTC1726ES8-2.5#PBF offers optimal balance of accuracy, low power, and simplicity for cost-sensitive applications where single-reset-bus architecture suffices and ±1.5% tolerance meets design margins.

FAQ
What voltage rails does the LTC1726ES8-2.5#PBF monitor?
The LTC1726ES8-2.5#PBF monitors three voltage rails: VCC25 (2.5V supply, threshold 2.337V), VCC3 (3.3V supply, threshold 3.085V), and VCCA (adjustable rail, threshold 1.000V). Its "-2.5" suffix denotes factory-trimmed thresholds optimized for 2.5V/3.3V/ADJ configurations, distinguishing it from the "-5" variant for 5V/3.3V/ADJ systems.
How is the reset timeout period adjusted on the LTC1726ES8-2.5#PBF?
The reset timeout period on the LTC1726ES8-2.5#PBF is adjusted by connecting an external capacitor (CRT) between the RT pin (Pin 8) and ground. The relationship is tRT = 3.30 × CRT, where tRT is in microseconds and CRT is in picofarads. For example, a 47nF capacitor yields a 155ms reset timeout. Ceramic capacitors are recommended for low leakage.
Can the LTC1726ES8-2.5#PBF operate with only two supply rails?
Yes, the LTC1726ES8-2.5#PBF can be configured to monitor only two rails. VCCA may be tied to VCC3 or VCC25 if unused, and the watchdog function can be disabled by grounding both WDI and WT pins. This reduces the device to a dual-rail supervisor with adjustable reset timing, preserving all accuracy and low-power benefits.
What is the minimum supply voltage that guarantees correct RST output state for the LTC1726ES8-2.5#PBF?
The LTC1726ES8-2.5#PBF guarantees correct RST logic state (low when asserted, high-impedance when deasserted) for VCC3 ≥ 1V or VCC25 ≥ 1V. This ensures reliable reset assertion during deep brownout conditions, a critical feature for fail-safe shutdown in industrial and medical equipment powered by the LTC1726ES8-2.5#PBF.
Is the LTC1726ES8-2.5#PBF pin-compatible with other SO-8 supervisory ICs?
The LTC1726ES8-2.5#PBF uses a standard 8-lead SOIC (S8) package with industry-standard pinout (VCC3, VCC25, VCCA, GND, WDI, RST, WT, RT). While not drop-in compatible with all SO-8 supervisors due to functional differences (e.g., triple monitoring vs. single-rail), its physical footprint matches common SO-8 footprints, enabling layout reuse when migrating from similar Linear/Analog Devices supervisors like LTC1727-2.5.
