The LTC694IS8-3.3#PBF is a robust, high-performance microprocessor supervisory circuit designed by Linear Technology, now part of Analog Devices. This precision device is engineered to maintain system integrity by monitoring the power supply voltage in digital systems. It is an essential component for applications requiring high reliability and consistent operation, making it ideal for use in microprocessor systems, computers, controllers, and intelligent instruments.
Key Features
- Voltage Monitoring: The LTC694IS8-3.3#PBF precisely monitors a 3.3V power supply, ensuring that the voltage remains within acceptable thresholds for reliable operation.
- Reset Output: Upon detection of an out-of-tolerance condition, the device generates a reset signal, which holds the microprocessor in a reset state for at least 200ms after the power supply has returned to an in-tolerance condition. This reset function helps prevent system errors and data corruption during power-up, power-down, and brown-out conditions.
- Low Power Consumption: This supervisory circuit is designed for low power consumption, which is critical for battery-powered and energy-efficient applications.
- Supply Voltage Range: It operates over a wide supply voltage range, accommodating various system requirements.
- Compact Package: The LTC694IS8-3.3#PBF is offered in a narrow 8-lead SOIC package, which is suitable for space-constrained applications.
- Operating Temperature: The device is specified for operation from -40°C to 85°C, ensuring reliable performance across a broad range of environmental conditions.
