Product details
Overview
LTC2935CDC-4 from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is an ultra-low power voltage supervisor IC with active-pull-up reset and power-fail outputs, eight pin-selectable reset thresholds (1.60V–2.40V), ±1.5% threshold accuracy over temperature, and 500nA typical quiescent current - designed for battery-powered portable equipment requiring reliable early-warning shutdown and controlled system reset.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2935CDC-4 datasheet, LTC2935CDC-4 pinout, LTC2935CDC-4 application, or LTC2935CDC-4 equivalent, this page delivers verified functional identity, DFN-8 package mapping, threshold configuration logic, PFO/RST output behavior under rising/falling VCC, manual reset timing, and real-world substitution guidance - all grounded in the official LTC2935 datasheet (Rev. FA) and ordering documentation.
Technical Context
The LTC2935CDC-4 implements dual independent comparators: one for reset generation (VRTF) and one for early power-fail warning (VPFT), with VPFT fixed 120mV above the selected VRTF. Its internal precision attenuators and reference enable stable threshold selection across –40°C to 85°C without external resistors.
It features a 200ms internal reset timeout timer activated on VCC rise, 5% hysteresis on reset threshold, 2.5% hysteresis on power-fail threshold, and active-pull-up RST/PFO outputs referenced to VCC - eliminating external pull-up resistors while constraining output voltage to ≤VCC.
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 Range | 1.60V to 2.40V (8 pin-selectable values) - covers common low-voltage rails (1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V systems via attenuation). |
| Power-Fail Threshold Offset | +120mV above selected reset threshold - provides deterministic early warning margin before reset assertion. |
| Threshold Accuracy | ±1.5% max over –40°C to 85°C - ensures reliable trip points across industrial temperature range. |
| Reset Timeout | 200ms (140–260ms min–max) - guarantees sufficient processor initialization time after VCC recovery. |
| Output Type | Active pull-up (RST & PFO) - drives high to VCC; no external pull-ups required; output clamped at VCC. |
| Operating Temp Range | 0°C to 70°C (C-grade) - validated for commercial portable and point-of-sale applications. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-Lead (2mm × 2mm) Plastic DFN (DC package), exposed pad (optional GND connection), RoHS-compliant, lead-free finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC | Supply & monitored input | Primary voltage rail under supervision; powers IC and serves as reference for threshold detection. |
| MR | Manual reset input | Active-low input with internal 900kΩ pull-up; falling edge forces RST low for ≥200ms after release. |
| RST | Reset output | Active-pull-up output; goes low when VCC < selected reset threshold; returns high 200ms after VCC exceeds threshold +5% hysteresis. |
| PFO | Power-fail output | Active-pull-up output; goes low when VCC < (selected reset threshold + 120mV); returns high after VCC exceeds that level +2.5% hysteresis. |
| S2, S1, S0 | Threshold select inputs | Binary-coded inputs (GND/VCC) selecting one of eight reset/power-fail threshold pairs per Table 1. |
| GND | Ground reference | System ground return for all internal circuits and comparator references. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low supply current | 500nA typical - preserves battery life in always-on monitoring applications like security sensors. |
| Pin-selectable thresholds | 8 discrete reset/power-fail pairs set by S2/S1/S0 - eliminates trimming resistors and simplifies BOM. |
| Early power-fail warning | Dedicated PFO output with fixed +120mV offset - enables graceful shutdown before brownout resets. |
| Integrated reset timer & hysteresis | 200ms timeout + 5% VRTF hysteresis - prevents chatter during noisy or slowly recovering supplies. |
| Active-pull-up outputs | RST and PFO drive to VCC - removes need for external pull-ups and avoids overvoltage risk on logic interfaces. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC2935ITS8-4#TRPBF | Same functionality and pinout, but rated for –40°C to 85°C industrial temp range; TSOT-23-8 package (smaller footprint, higher θJA = 195°C/W). | Required for extended temperature deployments (e.g., outdoor kiosks, automotive accessories). | Select when operating ambient exceeds 70°C or board space constraints favor TSOT-23 over DFN. |
| LTC2934CDC-4#TRPBF | Adjustable thresholds via external resistor divider (not pin-selectable); same 500nA IQ, active-pull-up outputs, and 200ms timeout. | Used where dynamic threshold tuning is needed (e.g., multi-battery chemistries sharing one PCB). | Choose only if design requires field-programmable thresholds; otherwise LTC2935CDC-4 offers simpler, more robust fixed-point supervision. |
Compared with LTC2935ITS8-4#TRPBF, LTC2935CDC-4 trades temperature range for lower thermal resistance (θJA = 102°C/W vs 195°C/W) and identical DFN mounting; compared with LTC2934CDC-4#TRPBF, it replaces resistor-based adjustment with deterministic, production-tested pin-strapping - reducing calibration risk and component count.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold range supported by LTC2935CDC-4?
The LTC2935CDC-4 supports eight discrete reset thresholds ranging from 1.60V to 2.40V in 120mV steps (e.g., 1.60V, 1.72V, 1.84V…2.40V), selected via binary coding on S2/S1/S0 pins. These values are specified for the LTC2935-3/LTC2935-4 variant group and confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the LTC2935 datasheet (Rev. FA). Each threshold has ±1.5% max accuracy over temperature.
Does LTC2935CDC-4 require external pull-up resistors on RST and PFO?
No - the LTC2935CDC-4 features active-pull-up outputs on both RST and PFO, driving high to VCC internally. This eliminates the need for external pull-up resistors, reduces BOM count, and avoids potential overvoltage issues seen with open-drain alternatives. However, if the output must remain valid down to VCC = 0V, a 100kΩ pull-down resistor from RST or PFO to GND is recommended to prevent floating states.
How does the power-fail output (PFO) behave relative to the reset output (RST) in LTC2935CDC-4?
In the LTC2935CDC-4, the PFO threshold is fixed at +120mV above the selected reset threshold (e.g., if RST trips at 2.40V, PFO trips at 2.52V). PFO asserts low first during VCC fall, providing early warning; RST follows when VCC drops further. On VCC rise, PFO releases when VCC exceeds its threshold +2.5% hysteresis, while RST releases after VCC exceeds its threshold +5% hysteresis plus a 200ms timeout - ensuring sequenced recovery.
Can LTC2935CDC-4 be used with a 1.8V supply rail?
Yes - the lowest reset threshold of the LTC2935CDC-4 is 1.60V, making it compatible with 1.8V systems. When configured for 1.60V reset (S2=S1=S0=High), the PFO activates at 1.72V, providing usable headroom. The device operates with VCC from 1.0V to 5.5V, and its 500nA quiescent current ensures minimal loading on low-voltage rails. Performance is fully specified down to 1.0V VCC.
What is the function of the MR (manual reset) input on LTC2935CDC-4?
The MR input on LTC2935CDC-4 is an active-low, internally pulled-up (900kΩ) signal that forces the RST output low when asserted. After MR is released (returns high), RST remains low for a guaranteed 200ms timeout - matching the automatic reset timeout. This allows hardware-initiated system reset independent of VCC level, commonly used with pushbutton switches in portable devices. MR is fully functional even when VCC is below reset threshold.
