Introducing the LTC692IS8 from Linear Technology

The LTC692IS8 is a highly reliable supervisory circuit designed by Linear Technology to ensure the stable operation of microprocessor (µP) systems. This compact and efficient device monitors power supply voltages to safeguard µPs and digital systems, triggering a reset in the event of an out-of-tolerance condition. The LTC692IS8 is an essential component for any system where data integrity and consistent operation are critical.

Key Features and Benefits

• Precision Voltage Monitoring: The LTC692IS8 is engineered to monitor 5V power supplies with a precision threshold of 4.65V, ensuring accurate detection of under-voltage conditions.
• Low Power Consumption: With a typical supply current of only 30µA, this device is ideal for power-sensitive applications.
• Reset Time Delay: It features an adjustable reset timeout period, which can be set by an external capacitor to provide a reset delay tailored to specific system requirements.
• Guaranteed RESET Output: The reset output is guaranteed to remain in the active condition (logic low) when V<sub>CC falls below the reset threshold, ensuring a reliable system reset.
• Temperature Range: The device operates over a wide temperature range of -40°C to 85°C, suitable for industrial environments.
• Compact Package: Housed in an 8-lead SOIC package, the LTC692IS8 is designed for space-constrained applications.
