Product details
Overview
LTC2960HDC-3#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a nano-power, high-voltage dual-threshold voltage supervisor IC designed for battery and regulator monitoring in harsh environments. It features 850nA quiescent current, 2.5V–36V VCC operating range, ±2mV ADJ/IN+ threshold matching, 200ms fixed reset timeout, and active pull-up RST/OUT outputs referenced to DVCC. It is used in automotive battery management systems to detect low-voltage brownout and initiate controlled shutdown before deep discharge.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2960HDC-3#TRPBF datasheet, LTC2960HDC-3#TRPBF pinout, LTC2960HDC-3#TRPBF application, or LTC2960HDC-3#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its –40°C to 125°C extended temperature grade, 1.5% max threshold accuracy over temperature, configurable IN+/ADJ thresholds via external resistive dividers, and DVCC-referenced push-pull output logic compatible with 1.6V–5.5V logic supplies.
Technical Context
The LTC2960HDC-3#TRPBF integrates two independent comparators: one monitors the ADJ input for reset assertion (with 2.5% hysteresis), and the second monitors IN+ for auxiliary voltage detection (with 5% hysteresis). Its internal 400mV reference enables precise threshold setting across wide input ranges using external resistor networks.
Unlike open-drain variants (LTC2960-1/-2), the LTC2960HDC-3#TRPBF replaces the RT pin with DVCC to support active pull-up outputs-RST and OUT drive to DVCC when high, eliminating external pull-up resistors and reducing static power. DVCC grounding reconfigures outputs as open-drain, enabling 36V-compatible interfacing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2.5V to 36V - supports direct connection to multicell Li-ion, lead-acid, or industrial DC rails without regulation. |
| Quiescent Current | 850nA max at 36V - enables >10-year battery life in always-on monitoring applications. |
| Threshold Accuracy | ±1.5% over –40°C to 125°C - ensures reliable reset assertion across automotive under-hood thermal extremes. |
| Reset Timeout | 200ms fixed - provides sufficient time for supply stabilization and microcontroller initialization after recovery. |
| Output Type | DVCC-referenced active pull-up - eliminates external pull-ups, reduces BOM count, and improves rise time vs. open-drain alternatives. |

Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead (2mm × 2mm) plastic DFN with exposed pad (pin 9), RoHS-compliant, moisture sensitivity level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC | Main power supply input | Accepts 2.5V–36V; UVLO disables outputs below 1.85V; bypass with 0.1µF capacitor required. |
| DVCC | Logic supply reference | Defines RST/OUT high-level voltage (1.6V–5.5V); grounding converts outputs to open-drain mode. |
| RST | Reset status output | Active-low open-drain or DVCC-referenced push-pull; asserts low when ADJ falls below threshold + hysteresis. |
| OUT | Auxiliary comparator output | Active-low open-drain or DVCC-referenced push-pull; asserts low when IN+ falls below threshold + 5% hysteresis. |
| IN+ | Non-inverting threshold input | Configured via resistor divider; monitors rising/falling voltage conditions for secondary fault detection (e.g., low-battery warning). |
| ADJ | Reset threshold adjustment input | Primary reset trigger point; tied to resistor divider; 400mV internal reference sets falling threshold. |
| MR | Manual reset input | Pulled low to force RST assertion; 0.4V logic threshold; supports push-button or MCU-driven reset initiation. |
| GND | Device ground reference | Common return for VCC, DVCC, and all inputs/outputs; exposed pad may be connected to PCB GND for thermal relief. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Nano-power operation | 850nA max ICC enables multi-year battery life in remote sensors and telematics modules. |
| Dual independent comparators | ADJ for primary reset + IN+ for secondary event (e.g., low-battery interrupt) - supports layered system supervision. |
| Configurable output logic | DVCC pin selects between active pull-up (low power, fast rise) or open-drain (high-voltage compatibility) - no redesign needed for different host interfaces. |
| Extended temperature grade | H-grade (–40°C to 125°C) qualification ensures reliability in automotive under-hood, industrial motor drives, and outdoor equipment. |
| High-accuracy threshold matching | ±2mV ADJ/IN+ threshold matching enables precise differential monitoring (e.g., detecting cell imbalance in battery packs). |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6375HESA+ | Fixed 2.93V reset threshold; 1.6µA quiescent current; SOT23-6 package; no auxiliary comparator. | Single-threshold only; unsuitable for dual-event detection (e.g., warning + reset); higher ICC limits battery life. | Select only when fixed threshold suffices and ultra-low ICC is not required. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the ADJ and IN+ pins on the LTC2960HDC-3#TRPBF?
The ADJ and IN+ pins on the LTC2960HDC-3#TRPBF have an absolute maximum rating of –0.3V to 3.5V. This means the voltage applied to these inputs must never exceed 3.5V, regardless of the VCC level. External resistive dividers must therefore scale monitored voltages (e.g., up to 36V) to stay within this range - for example, a 10:1 divider ensures a 36V input yields 3.6V, so a slightly steeper ratio (e.g., 10.5:1) is required to guarantee ≤3.5V at full scale. The LTC2960HDC-3#TRPBF datasheet specifies this limit explicitly in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table.
How does the DVCC pin affect the output behavior of the LTC2960HDC-3#TRPBF?
The DVCC pin on the LTC2960HDC-3#TRPBF defines the logic-high voltage level for both RST and OUT outputs. When DVCC is connected to a 1.6V–5.5V supply, RST and OUT actively drive to that voltage when high - eliminating external pull-up resistors and reducing static power. If DVCC is grounded, both outputs revert to open-drain operation and require external pull-ups to a voltage up to 36V. This dual-mode capability allows the same LTC2960HDC-3#TRPBF to interface with either low-voltage logic (e.g., 1.8V/3.3V MCUs) or high-side 24V control circuits without board redesign.
Can the LTC2960HDC-3#TRPBF be used to monitor both overvoltage and undervoltage conditions simultaneously?
Yes - the LTC2960HDC-3#TRPBF can monitor both conditions using its two comparators: ADJ for undervoltage reset (falling threshold) and IN+ for overvoltage detection (rising threshold). By configuring the IN+ divider to trigger above nominal supply (e.g., 13.5V on a 12V rail), the OUT pin asserts when overvoltage occurs. Since the IN+ comparator has 5% hysteresis referred to its threshold, it avoids chatter during transient excursions. Note that the LTC2960HDC-3#TRPBF variant uses IN+, not IN–, so overvoltage detection requires rising-edge configuration - confirmed in the Option Table and Pin Functions section of the LTC2960HDC-3#TRPBF datasheet.
What is the guaranteed minimum reset timeout period for the LTC2960HDC-3#TRPBF across temperature?
The LTC2960HDC-3#TRPBF has a fixed 200ms reset timeout period specified over its full operating temperature range of –40°C to 125°C. The Electrical Characteristics table lists tRST (Reset Timeout Period) with min/typ/max values of 140ms/200ms/280ms, all annotated with the "l" symbol indicating full-temperature-range specification. This guarantees that after the ADJ input rises above threshold, RST remains low for at least 140ms - sufficient for microcontroller power stabilization and clock lock - even at temperature extremes. No external components are required to set this timing.
Does the LTC2960HDC-3#TRPBF support manual reset functionality, and how is it implemented?
Yes, the LTC2960HDC-3#TRPBF includes a dedicated MR (Manual Reset) input pin. Pulling MR low forces RST to assert immediately, independent of ADJ voltage. After MR returns high, RST remains low for the full 200ms timeout period before releasing - ensuring consistent timing whether triggered by voltage drop or user action. The MR pin has a 0.4V logic threshold and is internally pulled up with a 1µA current source, allowing direct connection to pushbuttons (to GND) or open-drain MCU GPIOs. This feature is documented in the Pin Functions and Electrical Characteristics sections of the LTC2960HDC-3#TRPBF datasheet.
