The LTC®690 family, LTC690/LTC691/LTC694/LTC695,
provides complete power supply monitoring and battery
control functions for microprocessor reset, battery backup, CMOS RAM write protection, power failure warning
and watchdog timing. A precise internal voltage reference
and comparator circuit monitor the power supply line.
When an out-of-tolerance condition occurs, the reset
outputs are forced to active states and the chip enable
output unconditionally write-protects external memory.
In addition, the RESET output is guaranteed to remain
logic low even with VCC as low as 1V.
n
The LTC690 family powers the active CMOS RAMs with a
charge pumped NMOS power switch to achieve low drop
out and low supply current. When primary power is lost,
auxiliary power, connected to the battery input pin, powers
the RAMs in standby through an efficient PMOS switch.

For an early warning of impending power failure, the LTC690
family provides an internal comparator with a user-defined
threshold. An internal watchdog timer is also available, which
forces the reset pins to active states when the watchdog
input is not toggled prior to a preset timeout period.

Note 1: Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note 2: All voltage values are with respect to GND.
Note 3: For military temperature range parts or for the LTC692 and
LTC693, consult the factory.
Note 4: The output pins of BATT ON, LOWLINE, PFO, WDO, RESET and
RESET have weak internal pull-ups of typically 3µA. However, external
pull-up resistors may be used when higher speed is required.

Note 5: The LTC690 and LTC691 have minimum reset active time of 35ms
(50ms typically) while the LTC694 and LTC695 have longer minimum
reset active time of 140ms (200ms typically). The reset active time of
the LTC691 and LTC695 can be adjusted (see Table 2 in Applications
Information section).
Note 6: The external clock feeding into the circuit passes through the
oscillator before clocking the watchdog timer (See Block Diagram).
Variation in the timeout period is caused by phase errors which occur
when the oscillator divides the external clock by 64. The resulting variation
in the timeout period is 64 clocks plus one clock of jitter.
Note 7: The input pins of CE IN, OSC IN and OSC SEL have weak internal
pull-ups which pull to the supply when the input pins are floating.

Pin Functions
VCC: 5V Supply Input. The VCC pin should be bypassed
with a 0.1µF capacitor.
VOUT: Voltage Output for Backed Up Memory. Bypass with
a capacitor of 0.1µF or greater. During normal operation,
VOUT obtains power from VCC through an NMOS power
switch, M1, which can deliver up to 50mA and has a typical
on resistance of 5Ω. When VCC is lower than VBATT, VOUT
is internally switched to VBATT. If VOUT and VBATT are not
used, connect VOUT to VCC.
VBATT: Back-Up Battery Input. When VCC falls below VBATT,
auxiliary power, connected to VBATT, is delivered to VOUT
through PMOS switch, M2. If back-up battery or auxiliary
power is not used, VBATT should be connected to GND.
GND: Ground pin.
BATT ON: Battery On Logic Output from Comparator C2.
BATT ON goes low when VOUT is internally connected to
VCC. The output typically sinks 35mA and can provide
base drive for an external PNP transistor to increase the
output current above the 50mA rating of VOUT. BATT ON
goes high when VOUT is internally switched to VBATT.
PFI: Power Failure Input. PFI is the noninverting input
to the power-fail comparator, C3. The inverting input is
internally connected to a 1.3V reference. The power failure
output remains high when PFI is above 1.3V and goes
low when PFI is below 1.3V. Connect PFI to GND or VOUT
when C3 is not used.

Pin Functions
PFO: Power Failure Output from C3. PFO remains high
when PFI is above 1.3V and goes low when PFI is below
1.3V. When VCC is lower than VBATT, C3 is shut down and
PFO is forced low.
RESET: Logic Output for µP Reset Control. Whenever
VCC falls below either the reset voltage threshold (4.65V,
typically) or VBATT, RESET goes active low. After VCC returns
to 5V, reset pulse generator forces RESET to remain active
low for a minimum of 35ms for the LTC690 /LTC691 (140ms
for the LTC694/LTC695). When the watchdog timer is
enabled but not serviced prior to a preset timeout period,
reset pulse generator also forces RESET to active low for
a minimum of 35ms for the LTC690/LTC691 (140ms for
the LTC694/5) for every preset timeout period (see Figure
11). The reset active time is adjustable on the LTC691/
LTC695. An external pushbutton reset can be used in
connection with the RESET output. See Pushbutton Reset
in Applications Information section.
RESET: RESET is an active high logic output. It is the
inverse of RESET.
LOW�LINE: Logic Output from Comparator C1. LOWLINE
indicates a low line condition at the VCC input. When VCC
falls below the reset voltage threshold (4.65V typically),
LOWLINE goes low. As soon as VCC rises above the reset
voltage threshold, LOWLINE returns high (see Figure 1).
LOWLINE goes low when VCC drops below VBATT (see
Table 1).
WDI: Watchdog Input, WDI, is a three level input. Driving
WDI either high or low for longer than the watchdog timeout
period, forces both RESET and WDO low. Floating WDI
disables the watchdog timer. The timer resets itself with
each transition of the watchdog input (see Figure 11).
WDO: Watchdog Logic Output. When the watchdog input
remains either high or low for longer than the watchdog
timeout period, WDO goes low. WDO is set high whenever
there is a transition on the WDI pin, or LOWLINE goes
low. The watchdog timer can be disabled by floating WDI
(see Figure 11).
CE IN: Logic input to the ChipEnable gating circuit. CE IN
can be derived from microprocessor’s address line and/
or decoder output. See Applications Information section
and Figure 5 for additional information.
CE OUT: Logic Output on the ChipEnable Gating Circuit.
When VCC is above the reset voltage threshold, CE OUT is
a buffered replica of CE IN. When VCC is below the reset
voltage threshold CE OUT is forced high (see Figure 5).
OSC SEL: Oscillator Selection Input. When OSC SEL is
high or floating, the internal oscillator sets the reset active
time and watchdog timeout period. Forcing OSC SEL low,
allows OSC IN be driven from an external clock signal or
external capacitor be connected between OSC IN and GND.
OSC IN: Oscillator Input. OSC IN can be driven by an external
clock signal or external capacitor can be connected between
OSC IN and GND when OSC SEL is forced low. In this
configuration the nominal reset active time and watchdog
timeout period are determined by the number of clocks or
set by the formula (see Applications Information section).
When OSC SEL is high or floating, the internal oscillator is
enabled and the reset active time is fixed at 50ms typical
for the LTC691 and 200ms typical for the LTC695. OSC
IN selects between the 1.6 seconds and 100ms typical
watchdog timeout periods. In both cases, the timeout
period immediately after a reset is 1.6 seconds typical.

Applications Information
Microprocessor Reset
The LTC690 family uses a bandgap voltage reference
and a precision voltage comparator C1 to monitor the
5V supply input on VCC (see Block Diagram). When VCC
falls below the reset voltage threshold, the RESET output
is forced to active low state. The reset voltage threshold
accounts for a 5% variation on VCC, so the RESET output
becomes active low when VCC falls below 4.75V (4.65V
typical). On power-up, the RESET signal is held active low
for a minimum of 35ms for the LTC690/LTC691 (140ms
for the LTC694/LTC695) after reset voltage threshold is
reached to allow the power supply and microprocessor to
stabilize. The reset active time is adjustable on the LTC691/
LTC695. On power-down, the RESET signal remains active
low even with VCC as low as 1V. This capability helps hold
the microprocessor in stable shutdown condition. Figure
1 shows the timing diagram of the RESET signal.
of the precision voltage comparator C1. When VCC falls
below the reset voltage threshold, LOWLINE goes low.
LOWLINE returns high as soon as VCC rises above the
reset voltage threshold.
Battery Switchover
The battery switchover circuit compares VCC to the VBATT
input, and connects VOUT to whichever is higher. When
VCC rises to 70mV above VBATT, the battery switchover
comparator, C2, connects VOUT to VCC through a charge
pumped NMOS power switch, M1. When VCC falls to
50mV above VBATT, C2 connects VOUT to VBATT through a
PMOS switch, M2. C2 has typically 20mV of hysteresis to
prevent spurious switching when VCC remains nearly equal
to VBATT. The response time of C2 is approximately 20µs.
The precision voltage comparator, C1, typically has 40mV
of hysteresis which ensures that glitches at VCC pin do
not activate the RESET output. Response time is typically
10µs. To help prevent mistriggering due to transient loads,
VCC pin should be bypassed with a 0.1µF capacitor with
the leads trimmed as short as possible.
During normal operation, the LTC690 family uses a charge
pumped NMOS power switch to achieve low dropout and
low supply current. This power switch can deliver up to
50mA to VOUT from VCC and has a typical on resistance
of 5Ω. The VOUT pin should be bypassed with a capacitor of 0.1µF or greater to ensure stability. Use of a larger
bypass capacitor is advantageous for supplying current
to heavy transient loads.
The LTC691 and LTC695 have two additional outputs:
RESET and LOWLINE. RESET is an active high output
and is the inverse of RESET. LOWLINE is the output
When operating currents larger than 50mA are required
from VOUT, or a lower dropout (VCC-VOUT voltage differential)
is desired, the LTC691 and LTC695 should be used.

Applications Information
These products provide BATT ON output to drive the base
of external PNP transistor (Figure 2). If higher currents
are needed with the LTC690 and LTC694, a high current
Schottky diode can be connected from the VCC pin to the
VOUT pin to supply the extra current.

term memory back-up instead of a battery. The charging
resistor for both capacitors and rechargeable batteries
should be connected to VOUT since this eliminates the
discharge path that exists when the resistor is connected
to VCC (Figure 3).

The LTC690 family is protected for safe area operation
with short-circuit limit. Output current is limited to approximately 200mA. If the device is overloaded for long
period of time, thermal shutdown turns the power switch
off until the device cools down. The threshold temperature
for thermal shutdown is approximately 155°C with about
10°C of hysteresis which prevents the device from oscillating in and out of shutdown.
The PNP switch used in competitive devices was not chosen
for the internal power switch because it injects unwanted
current into the substrate. This current is collected by the
VBATT pin in competitive devices and adds to the charging
current of the battery which can damage lithium batteries.
The LTC690 family uses a charge pumped NMOS power
switch to eliminate unwanted charging current while
achieving low dropout and low supply current. Since no
current goes to the substrate, the current collected by
VBATT pin is strictly junction leakage.
A 125Ω PMOS switch connects the VBATT input to VOUT
in battery back-up mode. The switch is designed for very
low dropout voltage (input-to-output differential). This
feature is advantageous for low current applications such
as battery back-up in CMOS RAM and other low power
CMOS circuitry. The supply current in battery back-up
mode is 1µA maximum.
The operating voltage at the VBATT pin ranges from 2.0V
to 4.25V. High value capacitors, such as electrolytic or
0.1µF

Figure 3. Charging External Battery Through VOUT
Replacing the Back-Up Battery
When changing the back-up battery with system power
on, spurious resets can occur while battery is removed
due to battery standby current. Although battery standby
current is only a tiny leakage current, it can still charge
up the stray capacitance on the VBATT pin. The oscillation
cycle is as follows: When VBATT reaches within 50mV of
VCC, the LTC690 switches to battery back-up. VOUT pulls
VBATT low and the device goes back to normal operation.
The leakage current then charges up the VBATT pin again
and the cycle repeats.
If spurious resets during battery replacement pose no
problems, then no action is required. Otherwise, a resistor
from VBATT to GND will hold the pin low while changing
the battery. For example, the battery standby current is
1µA maximum over temperature and the external resistor
required to hold VBATT below VCC is:
R≤
VCC − 50mV
1µA
With VCC = 4.5V, a 4.3M resistor will work. With a 3V battery, this resistor will draw only 0.7µA from the battery,
which is negligible in most cases.

The power-fail comparator, C3, does not have hysteresis.
Hysteresis can be added however, by connecting a resistor
between the PFO output and the noninverting PFI input
pin as shown in Figures 8 and 9. The upper and lower

The LTC690 family generates a Power Failure Output (PFO)
for early warning of failure in the microprocessor’s power
supply. This is accomplished by comparing the Power
Failure Input (PFI) with an internal 1.3V reference. PFO
goes low when the voltage at the PFI pin is less than 1.3V.
Typically PFI is driven by an external voltage divider (R1 and
R2 in Figures 8 and 9) which senses either an unregulated
DC input or a regulated 5V output. The voltage divider ratio
can be chosen such that the voltage at the PFI pin falls
below 1.3V several milliseconds before the 5V supply falls
below the maximum reset voltage threshold 4.75V. PFO is
normally used to interrupt the microprocessor to execute
shutdown procedure between PFO and RESET or RESET.
