Product details
Overview
LTC2935CDC-1 from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is an ultra-low power voltage supervisor IC with pin-selectable reset and power-fail thresholds, open-drain RST/PFO outputs, and 500nA typical quiescent current. It provides system initialization, early low-voltage warning, and reset generation for battery-powered systems monitoring VCC from 1.6V to 3.45V. Used in portable medical devices requiring stable brownout detection and controlled shutdown.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2935CDC-1 datasheet, LTC2935CDC-1 pinout, LTC2935CDC-1 application, or LTC2935CDC-1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 8-pin DFN package, ±1.5% threshold accuracy over temperature, 200ms reset timeout, manual reset input (MR), and configurable dual-threshold supervision for battery voltage monitoring with early warning capability.
Technical Context
The LTC2935CDC-1 integrates two precision comparators: one for reset (RST) activation at a user-selected falling threshold (eight options via S2/S1/S0), and another for power-fail warning (PFO) at a fixed offset above that threshold (150mV for -1/-2 variants). Its internal 5% hysteresis on RST and 2.5% on PFO prevents chatter during supply transients.
It operates across 0°C to 70°C ambient, draws only 500nA typical ICC, and features a 200ms internal reset timer after VCC exceeds the threshold. The MR input supports manual reset with 20μs minimum pulse width and internal 900kΩ pull-up, enabling pushbutton-initiated system reset without external components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Quiescent Current | 500nA typical - enables multi-year operation on coin cells without measurable battery drain. |
| Reset Threshold Accuracy | ±1.5% max over temperature - ensures reliable brownout detection across industrial ambient range. |
| Reset Timeout Period | 200ms nominal - guarantees sufficient processor initialization time before releasing reset signal. |
| Power-Fail Offset | +150mV above selected reset threshold - provides deterministic early warning margin before reset assertion. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.6V to 5.5V - supports direct monitoring of Li-ion, alkaline, and coin cell stacks without external scaling. |
| Hysteresis (RST) | 5% of threshold - suppresses false resets caused by load-induced supply droop or noise. |
| Manual Reset Pulse Width | 20μs min - allows compact pushbutton designs with minimal PCB footprint. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-Lead (2mm × 2mm) Plastic DFN (DC package), exposed pad (optional GND connection), RoHS-compliant, 0°C to 70°C operating range.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC | Supply & monitored voltage input | Primary power rail under supervision; must be bypassed with ≥0.01μF capacitor to GND. |
| MR | Manual reset input | Active-low input with internal 900kΩ pull-up; asserts RST when pulled ≤0.4V (0.3×VCC). |
| RST | Open-drain reset output | Pulls low when VCC falls below selected threshold; requires external pull-up to host logic voltage. |
| PFO | Open-drain power-fail output | Pulls low when VCC falls below configured power-fail threshold (150mV above RST threshold). |
| S2, S1, S0 | Threshold selection inputs | Binary-coded inputs (GND/VCC) selecting one of eight reset/power-fail threshold pairs per table. |
| GND | Device ground reference | Return path for all internal circuits; exposed pad may be connected to GND for thermal/EMI improvement. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low ICC | 500nA typical enables >10-year shelf life in battery-backed SRAM or real-time clocks. |
| Configurable dual thresholds | Eight independent RST/PFO pairs allow precise matching to battery discharge curves (e.g., 2.55V/2.70V for CR2032). |
| Integrated hysteresis | 5% RST and 2.5% PFO hysteresis eliminate need for external feedback resistors or RC filters. |
| Pushbutton-compatible MR | No external pull-up required; 20μs pulse width supports miniature tactile switches with minimal debouncing. |
| DFN package footprint | 2mm × 2mm area saves >60% board space vs. legacy SOIC-8 supervisors in space-constrained wearables. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC2935CTS8-1#TRPBF | Same functionality and electrical specs, but in 8-lead TSOT-23 package (2.9mm × 1.6mm) instead of DFN. | Preferred for designs requiring smaller height (<0.9mm) or compatibility with legacy TSOT-23 footprints. | Select when board space constraints favor TSOT-23 or reflow profile requires lower thermal mass. |
| LTC2934CDC-1#TRPBF | Adjustable thresholds via external resistors (not pin-selectable); 400nA ICC; same DFN package and temperature grade. | Better suited for custom threshold values outside the LTC2935's eight fixed points (e.g., 2.82V). | Choose when precise non-standard thresholds are required and design can accommodate two external resistors. |
Compared with LTC2935CTS8-1#TRPBF, the LTC2935CDC-1 offers identical supervision logic in a lower-profile, thermally superior DFN package; compared with LTC2934CDC-1#TRPBF, it trades external resistor flexibility for faster, more robust pin-strapping configuration without layout sensitivity.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC2935CDC-1?
The LTC2935CDC-1 is specified for 0°C to 70°C ambient operation, as indicated by the "C" grade suffix in the part number. This distinguishes it from the "I" grade (–40°C to 85°C) versions like LTC2935IDC-1. All electrical characteristics in the datasheet labeled with "l" apply across this full range.
How does the LTC2935CDC-1 differ from the LTC2935-2 variant?
The LTC2935CDC-1 corresponds to the LTC2935-1 variant, featuring open-drain RST and PFO outputs. Unlike the LTC2935-2 (active pull-up), the LTC2935CDC-1 requires external pull-up resistors but supports pull-up voltages up to 5.5V - even exceeding VCC - enabling level-shifting interfaces not possible with active-pull-up versions.
Can the LTC2935CDC-1 monitor a 1.8V supply?
Yes, the LTC2935CDC-1 supports monitoring down to 1.6V. With S2/S1/S0 set to High/High/High, it configures a 2.25V reset threshold and 2.40V power-fail threshold - both fully compatible with a 1.8V nominal supply, providing ~20% headroom before warning and ~25% before reset assertion.
What is the purpose of the exposed pad on the LTC2935CDC-1 DFN package?
The exposed pad on the LTC2935CDC-1 serves as a thermal and EMI enhancement feature. It may be left floating or connected to PCB ground - no electrical connection is required. When soldered to a thermal pad, it improves heat dissipation and reduces junction-to-board thermal resistance, supporting reliable operation at maximum ambient temperatures.
Does the LTC2935CDC-1 require external components for basic operation?
No external components are required for core supervision functionality. A 0.01μF decoupling capacitor between VCC and GND is recommended for noise immunity, but the LTC2935CDC-1 integrates all threshold references, hysteresis, reset timing, and input pull-ups - eliminating the need for external resistors, capacitors, or diodes in standard configurations.
