The maximum operating temperature range for the LTC1726EMS8-5 is -40°C to 125°C, as specified in the datasheet. However, it's recommended to operate the device within a temperature range of -20°C to 85°C for optimal performance and reliability.
To ensure accurate voltage monitoring, it's essential to follow proper PCB layout and design guidelines, such as keeping the voltage sense lines short and away from noise sources, using a low-impedance voltage source, and minimizing voltage drops across the sense lines.
Yes, the LTC1726EMS8-5 is suitable for hot-swap applications. It has a built-in undervoltage lockout (UVLO) feature that prevents the device from operating during power-up or power-down sequences, ensuring safe and reliable operation during hot-swap events.
The LTC1726EMS8-5 outputs a 12-bit digital code representing the measured voltage. The output code format is binary, with the most significant bit (MSB) representing the sign bit (0 for positive, 1 for negative). The remaining 11 bits represent the magnitude of the voltage, with a resolution of 0.5mV per LSB.
The recommended power-up sequence for the LTC1726EMS8-5 is to apply the supply voltage (VCC) before applying the voltage to be measured (VIN). This ensures that the device is properly initialized and configured before starting the voltage measurement.
