Product details
Overview
LTC2955CTS8-2#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a micropower pushbutton on/off controller with active-low enable output, designed to manage system power sequencing in battery-powered and industrial embedded systems. It operates from 1.5V to 36V supply, features ±36V robust PB input tolerance, 1.2µA quiescent current, and supports automatic turn-on via voltage monitor (ON pin). It is used in portable instruments and automotive electronics for graceful microprocessor shutdown and forced power-down.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2955CTS8-2#TRPBF datasheet, LTC2955CTS8-2#TRPBF pinout, LTC2955CTS8-2#TRPBF application, or LTC2955CTS8-2#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its TSOT-23-8 package, EN active-low output capable of driving external P-channel MOSFETs, configurable turn-off timer via TMR pin, ±25kV HBM ESD protection on PB, and compatibility with 0°C to 70°C industrial temperature range.
Technical Context
The LTC2955CTS8-2#TRPBF implements a dual-input power control architecture: debounced pushbutton (PB) and monitored supply (ON) trigger clean enable transitions, while KILL provides microprocessor-initiated or voltage-monitor-initiated immediate shutdown. Its internal LDO powers logic and pull-up circuitry, enabling EN to be pulled high to VIN through a 900kΩ internal resistor in off-state.
It integrates 32ms hardware debounce on PB/ON inputs, 512ms KILL blanking after turn-on, and 1s EN lockout after turn-off - all critical for stable regulator handshaking and µP power-state coordination. The TSOT-23-8 variant fixes SEL internally to GND, disabling ON-falling-edge turn-off and simplifying layout versus DFN versions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VIN Range | 1.5V to 36V - supports wide-input industrial and automotive supplies without external regulation. |
| IIN (Quiescent) | 1.2µA typical - enables multi-year battery life in always-on monitoring applications. |
| PB Input Range | ±36V - withstands load-dump transients and reverse-battery conditions without external protection. |
| ESD (HBM) | ±25kV on PB pin - eliminates need for external TVS diodes in handheld and vehicle-mounted designs. |
| EN Output Type | Active-low open-drain (LTC2955-2) - directly drives gate of external P-channel MOSFET for high-side power switching. |
| TMR Timer Range | Configurable 5.8–17.2ms additional turn-off delay (CTMR = 2200pF) - enables fail-safe forced shutdown if µP fails to respond to INT. |
| Operating Temp | 0°C to 70°C - qualified for commercial and extended industrial ambient environments. |
| Package | 8-Lead TSOT-23 - compact footprint compatible with high-density PCB layouts; no exposed pad. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-Lead Plastic TSOT-23 (3mm × 1.75mm), RoHS-compliant, lead-free finish. Thermal resistance θJA = 195°C/W. No exposed pad; all pins accessible on perimeter.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (INT) | Open-drain interrupt output | Signals PB press or ON event to µP; requires external pull-up; minimum 32ms pulse width ensures reliable edge detection. |
| 2 (EN) | Inverted enable output (active-low) | Drives P-MOSFET gate or active-low SHDN pin; pulled high to VIN (900kΩ) when released; sinks current when asserted low. |
| 3 (VIN) | Main power supply input | Accepts 1.5V–36V; bypass with 10nF low-ESR capacitor; internal LDO derives bias for logic and pull-ups. |
| 4 (PB) | Debounced pushbutton input | Active-low; 900kΩ internal pull-up to ~5.2V LDO; tolerates ±36V swings and ±25kV HBM ESD. |
| 5 (ON) | Supply monitor input | Detects rising edge for automatic turn-on; threshold 0.8V; falling edge ignored in TSOT-23 (SEL fixed to GND). |
| 6 (KILL) | Microprocessor kill input | Active-low; releases EN immediately when pulled <0.8V; also usable as voltage monitor input (e.g., battery low detection). |
| 7 (TMR) | Turn-off timer configuration | Capacitor-to-GND sets additional forced-shutdown delay; open-circuit defaults to 64ms total turn-off time. |
| 8 (GND) | Device ground reference | Single ground connection; must be low-impedance path to system ground plane for stable operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automatic Turn-On via Voltage Monitor | ON pin rising edge triggers EN assertion after 32ms debounce - enables plug-and-play power-up when wall adapter or battery is connected. |
| Fail-Safe Forced Power-Down | Holding PB low >64ms + tTMR forces EN release even if µP hangs - prevents unresponsive system lockup in field-deployed equipment. |
| µP Shutdown Coordination | INT output gives ≥32ms warning before power removal; KILL blanking (512ms) and EN lockout (1s) ensure deterministic power-state transitions. |
| High-Voltage PB Interface | ±36V input tolerance and ±25kV HBM rating eliminate external protection components - reduces BOM count and board area in harsh environments. |
| Low-Leakage EN Output | 900kΩ internal pull-up to VIN enables direct drive of P-MOSFET gate with <1.2µA standby current - avoids external pull-up resistor and leakage path. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar pushbutton power-control applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Fixed 3.3V supply monitor only; no PB input, no INT output, no TMR timer; active-high RESET output. | Suitable only for simple supply-voltage supervision; cannot replace pushbutton interface or coordinated shutdown sequencing. | Select only if application requires basic undervoltage detection without user interaction or µP coordination. |
| MAX16054ATA+T | Wider temp range (–40°C to 125°C); includes watchdog timer; no integrated PB debounce or TMR-configurable shutdown; EN is push-pull, not open-drain. | Requires external RC network for PB debouncing; lacks automatic ON-pin turn-on and KILL-blanking timing; less suited for battery-constrained designs (IQ = 8µA). | Prefer for high-temp automotive under-hood use where watchdog functionality is needed, but expect added complexity for pushbutton support. |
Compared with TPS3808G33DBVR and MAX16054ATA+T, the LTC2955CTS8-2#TRPBF uniquely integrates hardware-debounced PB input, ON-pin voltage monitoring, INT signaling, and TMR-configurable forced shutdown in an 8-pin TSOT-23 - delivering complete, low-component-count power sequencing for portable and embedded systems.

FAQ
What is the function of the TMR pin on the LTC2955CTS8-2#TRPBF?
The TMR pin on the LTC2955CTS8-2#TRPBF sets the additional forced turn-off delay beyond the base 64ms. Connecting a capacitor from TMR to GND configures a programmable timer (5.8–17.2ms typical with 2200pF); leaving it open defaults to 64ms total turn-off time. This feature ensures system power is cut even if the microprocessor fails to respond to the INT signal, enhancing fault tolerance in the LTC2955CTS8-2#TRPBF design.
How does the LTC2955CTS8-2#TRPBF differ from the LTC2955CTS8-1#TRPBF?
The LTC2955CTS8-2#TRPBF features an active-low EN output optimized to drive the gate of an external P-channel MOSFET, pulling high to VIN via a 900kΩ internal resistor when released. In contrast, the LTC2955CTS8-1#TRPBF has an active-high EN output with 2µA internal pull-up to an internal LDO (~4.3V). Both share identical PB, ON, KILL, and INT functionality, but the polarity and drive capability of EN make them non-interchangeable without circuit revision.
Can the ON pin of the LTC2955CTS8-2#TRPBF be used for automatic turn-off?
No - the ON pin of the LTC2955CTS8-2#TRPBF (TSOT-23 package) cannot trigger automatic turn-off. The SEL pin is internally tied to GND in this package, disabling ON-falling-edge detection. Only the PB pin and KILL input can initiate turn-off. Automatic turn-off via ON pin is exclusive to the 10-lead DFN variants (e.g., LTC2955DDB-2) where SEL is externally controllable.
What is the maximum voltage the PB pin of the LTC2955CTS8-2#TRPBF can tolerate?
The PB pin of the LTC2955CTS8-2#TRPBF is rated for ±36V absolute maximum input voltage, per the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This allows direct connection to automotive battery rails or industrial supplies without external clamping, and it survives ±25kV HBM ESD events without latch-up or damage - a key reliability feature confirmed in the LTC2955CTS8-2#TRPBF datasheet.
Does the LTC2955CTS8-2#TRPBF require external components for basic operation?
Yes - minimal external components are required: a 0.1µF bypass capacitor on VIN, a pull-up resistor on INT (typically 10kΩ to system VCC), and optionally a capacitor on TMR for adjustable forced shutdown. The PB pin requires only a momentary switch to GND; ON and KILL need resistive dividers only if used as voltage monitors. No external debounce RC or level-shifters are needed due to the LTC2955CTS8-2#TRPBF's integrated robust input structure.
