Product details
Overview
LTC1726HMS8-5#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a triple supply monitor and microprocessor supervisory IC with adjustable reset timeout, adjustable watchdog timer, and ±1.5% threshold accuracy over temperature. It monitors 5V, 3.3V, and an adjustable input simultaneously, guarantees correct RST state down to VCC ≥ 1V, and draws only 16µA typical supply current - ideal for desktop computers, network servers, and portable battery-powered equipment requiring reliable power sequencing and brownout protection.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1726HMS8-5#PBF datasheet, LTC1726HMS8-5#PBF pinout, LTC1726HMS8-5#PBF application, or LTC1726HMS8-5#PBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its H-grade industrial temperature range (–40°C to +125°C), MS8 package footprint, open-drain active-low RST output, and capacitor-adjustable timing for both reset and watchdog functions.
Technical Context
The LTC1726HMS8-5#PBF integrates three independent voltage comparators with precision bandgap references, a programmable reset pulse generator, and a watchdog timer with edge-triggered WDI input. Its internal power detection circuit selects VCC3 or VCC5 as the supply source depending on which exceeds the other by >25mV, enabling robust operation during asymmetric power-up sequences.
Reset assertion is guaranteed when any monitored supply falls below its threshold (VRT5 = 4.600–4.750V, VRT3 = 3.036–3.135V, VRTA = 0.985–1.015V), and remains asserted for a user-defined period (tRT = 3.30 × CRT) after all supplies stabilize. The watchdog timeout (tWT = 21.8 × CWT) is independently adjustable and restarts on each WDI edge, providing fail-safe µP supervision without fixed timing constraints.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Monitoring Inputs | Three independent inputs: VCC5 (4.60–4.75V threshold), VCC3 (3.04–3.14V), VCCA (0.99–1.02V) - supports simultaneous 5V/3.3V/adjustable rail monitoring |
| Threshold Accuracy | ±1.5% over –40°C to +125°C - ensures reliable reset assertion across full industrial temperature range without calibration |
| Reset Timeout Range | Adjustable via external CRT capacitor: tRT = 3.30 × CRT (e.g., 47nF → 155ms) - accommodates diverse µP power-on initialization delays |
| Watchdog Timeout Range | Adjustable via external CWT capacitor: tWT = 21.8 × CWT (e.g., 47nF → 1s) - enables software execution time alignment without firmware changes |
| Supply Current | 16µA typical at 25°C - minimizes quiescent load in always-on power domains of battery-powered systems |
| RST Output Type | Active-low open-drain with weak internal pull-up to VCC3 - allows level-shifting to 5V logic and wired-OR reset bus implementation |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C (H-grade) - qualified for under-hood automotive, industrial control, and high-ambient computing environments |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-Lead Plastic MSOP (MS8), 3.0mm × 3.0mm × 0.86mm body, 0.65mm pitch, exposed pad not present. RoHS-compliant lead-free finish (#PBF).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC3 (Pin 1) | 3.3V supply sense input & auxiliary power source | Monitors 3.3V rail; powers internal circuitry when VCC3 > VCC5; requires 0.1µF ceramic bypass to GND |
| VCC5 (Pin 2) | 5V supply sense input & primary power source | Monitors 5V rail; powers device when VCC5 > VCC3; overrides VCC3-based operation above ~4.15V |
| VCCA (Pin 3) | Adjustable threshold input (1V nominal) | Sense input for third supply (e.g., 1.8V via resistor divider); high-impedance; can be tied to VCC3 or VCC5 if unused |
| GND (Pin 4) | Analog and digital ground reference | Common return path for all comparators, timers, and RST output; must be low-impedance connection |
| WDI (Pin 5) | Watchdog input trigger | Edge-sensitive input (rising/falling); clears watchdog timer on transition; must be toggled within tWT to prevent reset |
| RST (Pin 6) | Active-low open-drain reset output | Asserted low during power-up/brownout; deasserted after tRT; compatible with 3.3V/5V logic buses via external pull-up |
| WT (Pin 7) | Watchdog timeout capacitor connection | Connect CWT to GND to set tWT = 21.8 × CWT; grounding disables watchdog function |
| RT (Pin 8) | Reset timeout capacitor connection | Connect CRT to GND to set tRT = 3.30 × CRT; determines minimum reset assertion duration post-power-up |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Triple-supply monitoring with override logic | Automatically selects between 5V and 3.3V monitoring modes based on relative input voltages - eliminates need for external mode selection |
| Glitch-immune comparator architecture | Rejects sub-130µs supply transients - prevents false resets during noisy power transitions or ESD events |
| Guaranteed RST validity down to 1V | RST output remains correctly asserted/deasserted even when VCC3 or VCC5 drops to 1V - ensures clean reset during deep brownout |
| Capacitor-programmable timing | Independent CRT and CWT capacitors enable precise, board-level tuning of reset and watchdog periods without firmware updates |
| H-grade temperature qualification | Full electrical performance validated from –40°C to +125°C - suitable for extended-temperature industrial and transportation applications |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar triple-supply monitoring applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC1727-5 | Individual open-drain RST outputs per supply (RST5, RST3, RSTA) vs single shared RST; same thresholds and timing adjustability | Required when system needs independent reset signaling per rail (e.g., staggered power domain enable) | Select LTC1727-5 only if discrete reset control per supply is mandatory; otherwise LTC1726HMS8-5#PBF offers simpler routing and lower cost |
| LTC1326-2.5 | Higher threshold accuracy (±0.75% vs ±1.5%), but configured for 2.5V/3.3V/ADJ - lacks 5V monitoring capability | Applicable only in 2.5V-based systems (e.g., low-voltage FPGAs); cannot replace LTC1726HMS8-5#PBF in 5V architectures | Choose LTC1326-2.5 only for new 2.5V designs demanding tighter threshold tolerance; not a functional substitute for 5V monitoring |
Compared with LTC1727-5, LTC1726HMS8-5#PBF simplifies PCB layout with a single RST net but sacrifices per-rail reset control; compared with LTC1326-2.5, it supports 5V systems at the cost of reduced threshold precision - making it the optimal choice for cost-sensitive, 5V/3.3V dual-rail industrial computing.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC1726HMS8-5#PBF?
The LTC1726HMS8-5#PBF is rated for –40°C to +125°C (H-grade), fully specified across this range for all electrical parameters including threshold accuracy, supply current, and timing characteristics. This qualifies it for under-hood automotive, industrial control, and high-ambient computing applications where standard E-grade (–40°C to +85°C) parts would fail.
How does the LTC1726HMS8-5#PBF handle power-up when both 5V and 3.3V supplies ramp simultaneously?
The LTC1726HMS8-5#PBF uses internal override logic: when VCC5 ≈ VCC3 (within ±25mV) and VCC5 < 4.15V, it operates as a 3.3V monitor; above ~4.15V, it switches to 5V monitoring mode. This ensures RST remains asserted until the dominant supply reaches its valid threshold - preventing premature release during overlapping ramps.
Can the watchdog timer in the LTC1726HMS8-5#PBF be disabled?
Yes. The watchdog timer is disabled by connecting both WDI (Pin 5) and WT (Pin 7) to GND. In this configuration, the LTC1726HMS8-5#PBF functions solely as a triple-supply monitor with adjustable reset timeout, eliminating software dependency while retaining all voltage supervision features.
What capacitor values are recommended for a 155ms reset timeout and 1s watchdog timeout with the LTC1726HMS8-5#PBF?
For tRT = 155ms: CRT = tRT / 3.30 = 155,000µs / 3.30 ≈ 47,000pF (47nF). For tWT = 1s: CWT = tWT / 21.8 = 1,000,000µs / 21.8 ≈ 45,870pF (47nF). Both use standard 47nF ceramic capacitors - confirmed in Linear's Typical Application TA01 and TA02 schematics for the LTC1726-5 variant.
Is the LTC1726HMS8-5#PBF pin-compatible with other variants like the LTC1726EMS8-5#PBF?
Yes - all LTC1726-5 variants (E, I, H grades) in the MS8 package share identical pinout, footprint, and electrical interface. The only differences are temperature rating and parametric limits (e.g., H-grade guarantees ±1.5% thresholds at +125°C, while E-grade does so only to +85°C). No PCB redesign is needed when upgrading from E- to H-grade.
