Product details
Overview
LTC2935CTS8-3#TRPBF 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 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. Its 200ms reset timeout and ±1.5% threshold accuracy over temperature support reliable operation in portable equipment and security systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2935CTS8-3#TRPBF datasheet, LTC2935CTS8-3#TRPBF pinout, LTC2935CTS8-3#TRPBF application, or LTC2935CTS8-3#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its eight binary-configurable reset thresholds (e.g., 2.44V nominal), fixed 120mV power-fail margin above reset, TSOT-23-8 package, –40°C to 85°C industrial temperature range, and open-drain output compatibility with external pull-up voltages up to 5.5V.
Technical Context
The LTC2935CTS8-3#TRPBF implements dual independent comparators: one for reset (VRTF) and one for power-fail (VPFT), each with built-in hysteresis (5% for reset, 2.5% for PFO). Thresholds are selected via three logic inputs (S2/S1/S0), enabling eight discrete falling-reset thresholds ranging from 1.60V to 2.44V (LTC2935-3 variant), with corresponding PFO thresholds 120mV higher.
Its internal reset timer enforces a 200ms delay before RST returns high after VCC exceeds the reset threshold by 5%, ensuring stable power-up sequencing. The MR input supports manual reset with 20μs minimum pulse width and internal 900kΩ pull-up, while all control inputs exhibit ±10nA leakage and 0.3–0.7×VCC logic thresholds.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Quiescent Current | 500nA typical - enables multi-year battery life in coin-cell or alkaline-powered devices without compromising supervision accuracy. |
| Reset Threshold Accuracy | ±1.5% max over –40°C to 85°C - ensures deterministic reset behavior across industrial temperature extremes without calibration. |
| Reset Threshold Range | 1.60V to 2.44V (8 pin-selectable values) - matches common low-voltage rails including 1.8V, 2.5V, and 3.3V logic domains with appropriate attenuation. |
| Power-Fail Margin | +120mV above selected reset threshold - provides guaranteed early warning window before system reset, supporting controlled shutdown sequences. |
| Reset Timeout Period | 200ms nominal - holds RST low long enough to ensure microcontroller or FPGA completes full initialization after power stabilization. |
| Output Type | Open-drain RST and PFO - allows level-shifting via external pull-up to voltages up to 5.5V, independent of VCC, enabling mixed-supply interface design. |
| Supply Voltage Range | VCC = 1V to 5.5V - operates down to single-cell Li-ion or NiMH discharge endpoints while maintaining supervision integrity. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-Lead Plastic TSOT-23 (2.9mm × 1.6mm × 0.8mm), RoHS-compliant, lead-free finish. Exposed pad not present in TSOT-23 variant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC | Power supply and monitored voltage input | Primary rail under supervision; must be bypassed with ≥0.01μF capacitor to GND; powers internal circuitry and defines logic thresholds. |
| MR | Manual reset input | Pull low to force RST assertion; internally pulled up to VCC via 900kΩ; 20μs minimum pulse width required for reliable activation. |
| RST | Reset output | Open-drain active-low signal; sinks current when VCC falls below selected reset threshold or MR is asserted; requires external pull-up. |
| PFO | Power-fail output | Open-drain active-low early-warning signal; asserts when VCC drops below VPFT = VRTF + 120mV; released at VPFT + 2.5% hysteresis. |
| S2, S1, S0 | Threshold selection inputs | Binary-coded inputs (GND = Low, VCC = High) selecting one of eight reset/power-fail threshold pairs; <10nA leakage ensures stable logic states. |
| GND | Device ground reference | Return path for all internal circuits and comparator references; must be connected directly to system ground plane for noise immunity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 500nA typical enables >10-year battery life in coin-cell applications monitoring 2.5V rails with 1.72V reset threshold. |
| Eight pin-selectable thresholds | Eliminates external resistor networks; S2/S1/S0 configuration supports precise matching to system VCC tolerances without trimming. |
| Dual independent comparators | Separate reset and power-fail comparators with dedicated hysteresis (5% and 2.5%) prevent false triggering during load transients. |
| Open-drain outputs with 5.5V tolerance | Allows RST/PFO to interface with higher-voltage logic (e.g., 5V MCU I/O) using external pull-ups, decoupling supervision from VCC domain. |
| 200ms reset timeout with hysteresis | Guarantees clean release after brownout recovery; 5% rising-edge hysteresis prevents oscillation near threshold during slow-rising supplies. |
Applications
| Portable Medical Sensors | Battery-Powered Security Alarms |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC2935ITS8-3#TRPBF | Identical functionality and pinout, but rated for –40°C to 85°C industrial temperature range versus 0°C to 70°C for LTC2935CTS8-3#TRPBF. | Required for deployments in outdoor or automotive-adjacent environments where ambient temperatures exceed 70°C. | Select LTC2935ITS8-3#TRPBF when operating outside commercial temperature limits; otherwise LTC2935CTS8-3#TRPBF suffices for indoor consumer-grade devices. |
| LTC2934CTS8#TRPBF | Adjustable thresholds via external resistors (not pin-selectable); same 500nA ICC, open-drain outputs, and 200ms timeout; lacks PFO output. | Suitable only for basic reset-only applications; cannot provide early power-fail warning needed for controlled shutdown. | Choose LTC2935CTS8-3#TRPBF when dual-threshold supervision (reset + early warning) is mandatory; LTC2934CTS8#TRPBF is a cost-optimized alternative if PFO is unnecessary. |
Compared with LTC2935ITS8-3#TRPBF, the LTC2935CTS8-3#TRPBF offers identical electrical performance but reduced temperature coverage, making it suitable for cost-sensitive commercial applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage for LTC2935CTS8-3#TRPBF?
The absolute maximum VCC rating for LTC2935CTS8-3#TRPBF is 6V, but the recommended operating range is 1V to 5.5V. Exceeding 5.5V risks damage to internal ESD structures and may invalidate parametric guarantees. For 5V systems, operation at 5.5V is permissible only under transient conditions per Absolute Maximum Ratings.
How does the power-fail threshold relate to the reset threshold in LTC2935CTS8-3#TRPBF?
In LTC2935CTS8-3#TRPBF, the power-fail threshold (VPFT) is fixed at exactly 120mV above the selected reset threshold (VRTF), as confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table and Applications Information section. This differential is inherent to the LTC2935-3 variant and does not vary with temperature or supply voltage.
Can LTC2935CTS8-3#TRPBF be used with a 1.8V supply rail?
Yes - LTC2935CTS8-3#TRPBF supports VCC down to 1V and offers a 1.72V reset threshold (S2=High, S1=High, S0=High) that aligns precisely with 1.8V system rails. Its ±1.5% accuracy ensures reliable reset assertion before 1.8V logic becomes unstable, and 500nA ICC minimizes loading on the regulated rail.
What is the function of the exposed pad in LTC2935CTS8-3#TRPBF?
LTC2935CTS8-3#TRPBF uses the TSOT-23-8 package, which has no exposed pad. Exposed pad information in the datasheet applies only to the DFN (DC) variant. The TSOT-23 package relies on standard lead-frame thermal conduction; no PCB thermal pad or solder connection is required or supported for this part number.
Does LTC2935CTS8-3#TRPBF require external pull-up resistors on RST and PFO?
Yes - LTC2935CTS8-3#TRPBF features open-drain RST and PFO outputs and requires external pull-up resistors. Recommended values range from 10kΩ to 470kΩ; 100kΩ is typical for balancing speed and power. Pull-up voltage may be up to 5.5V, independent of VCC, enabling interface with higher-voltage logic domains.
