Product details
Overview
LTC1726IS8-2.5#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a triple supply monitor and microprocessor supervisory IC designed for systems requiring simultaneous monitoring of 2.5V, 3.3V, and an adjustable voltage rail. It delivers ±1.5% threshold accuracy over temperature, 16µA typical supply current, and independently adjustable reset (tRT) and watchdog (tWT) timeout periods via external capacitors. It is used in notebook computers and intelligent instruments to ensure reliable power-on reset and software fault detection.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1726IS8-2.5#PBF datasheet, LTC1726IS8-2.5#PBF pinout, LTC1726IS8-2.5#PBF application, or LTC1726IS8-2.5#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.5V/3.3V/ADJ input configuration, 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 LTC1726IS8-2.5#PBF implements three independent voltage comparators with precision bandgap references to monitor VCC25 (2.5V), VCC3 (3.3V), and VCCA (adjustable, nominal 1V). Its reset logic asserts RST low whenever any monitored supply falls below its specified threshold - VRT25 = 2.337V (min), VRT3 = 3.023V (min), VRTA = 0.978V (min) - with glitch immunity ensuring no false triggering during supply transients.
Both reset timeout (via RT pin capacitor) and watchdog timeout (via WT pin capacitor) are fully programmable using the formulas tRT = 3.30 × CRT (CRT in pF, tRT in µs) and tWT = 21.8 × CWT (CWT in pF, tWT in µs). The device derives internal power from whichever of VCC3 or VCC25 is higher, guaranteeing correct RST state even when only one supply reaches 1V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC25 Threshold | 2.337V min / 2.375V typ - ensures reliable detection of 2.5V rail brownout before system instability |
| VCC3 Threshold | 3.023V min / 3.085V typ - matches standard 3.3V LVTTL/LVCMOS I/O supply tolerance |
| VCCA Threshold | 0.978V min / 1.000V typ - supports monitoring of 1.0V–1.2V core supplies or feedback dividers |
| Supply Current | 16µA typical - enables use in battery-powered portable equipment without significant drain |
| RST Output Type | Active-low open-drain - allows wired-OR reset bus and level-shifting up to 5V with external pull-up |
| Reset Timeout Range | Adjustable from ~5µs to >10s via 1pF–100nF CRT capacitor - accommodates diverse µP initialization times |
| Watchdog Timeout Range | Adjustable from ~33µs to >10s via 1pF–100nF CWT capacitor - aligns with software task execution windows |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-Lead Plastic SO (Narrow, 0.150-inch width), RoHS-compliant lead-free finish, operating temperature range –40°C to +85°C.
| 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 ≥1V and higher than VCC25; requires 0.1µF bypass |
| VCC25 (Pin 2) | 2.5V supply sense input & primary power source | Monitors 2.5V rail; powers internal circuitry when ≥1V and higher than VCC3; requires 0.1µF bypass |
| VCCA (Pin 3) | Adjustable threshold sense input (1V nominal) | High-impedance input for monitoring 1.0V–1.2V rails or DC/DC feedback nodes; can be tied to VCC3 or VCC25 if unused |
| GND (Pin 4) | Signal and power ground reference | Common return path for all comparators, timers, and RST output; must be low-impedance |
| WDI (Pin 5) | Watchdog timer clear input | Edge-triggered (rising/falling); resets 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 expires; weak internal pull-up to VCC3 (~6µA) |
| WT (Pin 7) | Watchdog timeout timing node | Capacitor-to-ground sets tWT = 21.8 × CWT (µs); grounding disables watchdog function |
| RT (Pin 8) | Reset timeout timing node | Capacitor-to-ground sets tRT = 3.30 × CRT (µs); determines minimum reset pulse width after power stabilization |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

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), but fixed 2.363V/3.118V/1.0V thresholds; no adjustable tRT/tWT | Used where absolute threshold precision outweighs flexibility - e.g., calibration-critical instrumentation | Select LTC1326-2.5 when tighter tolerance is mandatory and external capacitor tuning is unnecessary |
| LTC1727-2.5 | Individual open-drain RST outputs per supply (RST25, RST3, RSTA); same ±1.5% accuracy and adjustable timeouts | Required when supply-specific fault isolation is needed - e.g., diagnosing which rail failed in field-repair scenarios | Choose LTC1727-2.5 when independent reset signaling per monitored rail improves system debuggability |
Compared with LTC1326-2.5, the LTC1726IS8-2.5#PBF trades threshold precision for programmable timing and broader voltage adaptability; compared with LTC1727-2.5, it reduces pin count and board area by consolidating reset into a single output - ideal for cost- and space-sensitive designs where aggregated fault reporting suffices.

FAQ
What is the exact supply voltage monitoring configuration supported by the LTC1726IS8-2.5#PBF?
The LTC1726IS8-2.5#PBF is factory-configured to monitor three specific rails: VCC25 (2.5V nominal), VCC3 (3.3V nominal), and VCCA (adjustable, typically 1.0V–1.2V). Its electrical characteristics specify VRT25 = 2.337V (min), VRT3 = 3.023V (min), and VRTA = 0.978V (min) thresholds. This configuration is fixed for the -2.5 variant and cannot be reconfigured to monitor 5V instead of 2.5V - that requires the LTC1726IS8-5#PBF.
How does the LTC1726IS8-2.5#PBF guarantee correct RST output state during low-voltage conditions?
The LTC1726IS8-2.5#PBF guarantees RST remains in the correct asserted (low) state for VCC3 ≥ 1V or VCC25 ≥ 1V, as confirmed in its Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables. This is achieved through internal power-source arbitration - the device draws operating current from whichever of VCC3 or VCC25 is higher, ensuring functional reset logic even when only one supply reaches 1V. The RST output itself is open-drain with a weak internal pull-up to VCC3 (~6µA), allowing external pull-up to higher voltages if needed.
Can the watchdog timer in the LTC1726IS8-2.5#PBF be disabled, and how is this implemented?
Yes, the watchdog timer in the LTC1726IS8-2.5#PBF can be fully disabled. Per the Applications Information section, this is accomplished by connecting both the WDI (Pin 5) and WT (Pin 7) terminals to GND. When WT is grounded, the internal watchdog timing circuit is disabled; tying WDI to GND prevents any edge transitions that could inadvertently clear a running timer. With both pins grounded, the LTC1726IS8-2.5#PBF functions strictly as a triple-supply monitor with adjustable reset timeout only.
What capacitor values are required to achieve a 155ms reset timeout and 1s watchdog timeout with the LTC1726IS8-2.5#PBF?
To achieve tRT = 155ms (155,000µs), use CRT = tRT / 3.30 = 155,000 / 3.30 ≈ 47,000pF (47nF), as shown in Typical Application TA02. To achieve tWT = 1s (1,000,000µs), use CWT = tWT / 21.8 ≈ 1,000,000 / 21.8 ≈ 45,872pF (47nF), matching the same value. Both capacitors must be low-leakage types - ceramic capacitors are explicitly recommended in the datasheet for stability and minimal dielectric absorption effects.
Is the LTC1726IS8-2.5#PBF pin-compatible with other variants in the LTC1726 family, such as the MSOP-packaged versions?
Yes, the LTC1726IS8-2.5#PBF is pin-compatible with all other LTC1726 variants in the SO-8 (S8) package, including LTC1726ES8-2.5#PBF and LTC1726HS8-2.5#PBF. It is also functionally and pinout-compatible with the MSOP-8 (MS8) variants (e.g., LTC1726EMS8-2.5#PBF), as both packages share identical pin numbering, terminal functions, and electrical behavior - only the physical footprint and thermal characteristics (θJA = 150°C/W for SO-8 vs. 200°C/W for MSOP-8) differ.
