Product details
Overview
LTC690CS8#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is an 8-pin microprocessor supervisory IC integrating power-on reset, battery backup switching, power-fail warning, and watchdog timer functions. It features a 4.65V precision voltage monitor, guaranteed RESET assertion down to VCC = 1V, 35ms minimum reset active time, and low 1.5mA max supply current. It is used in battery-backed CMOS RAM systems for embedded controllers requiring reliable power monitoring and memory write protection.
For engineers reviewing the LTC690CS8#TRPBF datasheet, LTC690CS8#TRPBF pinout, LTC690CS8#TRPBF application, or LTC690CS8#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed reset at 1V VCC, 4.65V threshold accuracy, battery switchover hysteresis (20mV), PFI comparator response time (2µs falling), and SO-8 package compatibility with industrial temperature range (0°C to 70°C).
Technical Context
The LTC690CS8#TRPBF implements a bandgap-based precision voltage reference and three independent comparators (C1 for reset, C2 for battery switchover, C3 for power-fail detection), plus a watchdog timer with internal oscillator or external clock input. Its NMOS charge-pump VOUT switch delivers up to 50mA with 5Ω typical on-resistance, while the PMOS battery-backup path provides <1µA standby current and 125Ω effective resistance.
It supports dual-mode operation: OSC SEL high enables fixed internal timing (35ms reset, 1.6s/100ms watchdog), while OSC SEL low allows external capacitor or clock control. The CE IN/CE OUT gating logic ensures unconditional RAM write-protection during brownout, with 20ns propagation delay and rail-to-rail output swing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Voltage Threshold | 4.65V typical; ensures reliable µP reset before 5V supply drops below 4.75V spec limit |
| Reset Active Time (min) | 35ms; holds µP in reset long enough for power stabilization and clock lock |
| VOUT Dropout (IOUT = 50mA) | VCC – 0.50V; enables stable 4.5V output from 5V rail under full load |
| Battery Switchover Hysteresis | 20mV; prevents oscillation when VCC ≈ VBATT during brownout transitions |
| PFI Comparator Response Time | 2µs (falling); enables fast early-warning interrupt before critical supply collapse |
| Supply Current (active) | 1.5mA max; minimizes primary power draw in always-on supervisory role |
| Standby Current (VBATT mode) | 1µA max; extends backup battery life for multi-year CMOS RAM retention |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-Lead Plastic SO (S8), RoHS-compliant, JEDEC MS-012AC, 3.9mm × 4.9mm body, 1.27mm pitch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC | 5V Supply Input | Main power rail; requires 0.1µF bypass capacitor for noise immunity and stability |
| VOUT | Backed-Up Memory Output | Switched output delivering power to RAM; sourced from VCC (NMOS) or VBATT (PMOS) |
| PFI | Power-Fail Input | Noninverting input to 1.3V-referenced comparator; senses supply decay via external divider |
| GND | Ground Reference | Common return for all analog and digital circuitry; must be low-impedance |
| WDI | Watchdog Input | Three-level input (high/low/floating); resets watchdog timer on each transition |
| VBATT | Battery Backup Input | Auxiliary power source; activates when VCC falls 50mV below VBATT |
| PFO | Power-Fail Output | Open-drain logic output; asserts low when PFI < 1.3V to trigger µP shutdown sequence |
| RESET | Microprocessor Reset Output | Active-low open-drain output; guaranteed low down to VCC = 1V for safe shutdown |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Guaranteed RESET at VCC = 1V | Ensures deterministic µP shutdown even during deep brownout, preventing undefined state |
| Charge-Pumped NMOS VOUT Switch | Delivers 50mA with 5Ω RDS(on), eliminating substrate injection and unwanted battery charging |
| Integrated Watchdog Timer | Configurable 100ms/1.6s timeout using internal oscillator or external clock input |
| Fast PFI Comparator Response | 2µs falling edge detection enables timely power-fail interrupt before system crash |
| Thermal Limiting Protection | Shuts down VOUT switch at ~155°C with 10°C hysteresis to prevent latch-up or damage |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX690ESA+ | 4.65V reset threshold, 200ms reset timeout, no integrated watchdog timer, 8-pin SO package | Lacks watchdog and battery switchover; requires external components for RAM write protection | Choose when only basic reset and power-fail warning are needed, and cost sensitivity outweighs feature integration |
| TPS3823DBVR | 4.63V reset threshold, 200ms reset timeout, no battery backup or PFI input, SOT-23-5 package | Smaller footprint but omits battery management, power-fail warning, and watchdog-requires discrete support circuitry | Choose for space-constrained designs where only reset supervision is required and auxiliary functions are handled elsewhere |
Compared with MAX690ESA+ and TPS3823DBVR, the LTC690CS8#TRPBF delivers full supervisory integration-including guaranteed 1V reset, battery switchover, PFI/PFO, and watchdog-in a single SO-8 package, reducing BOM count and PCB area while enabling robust data retention in battery-powered systems.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed minimum reset active time for LTC690CS8#TRPBF?
The LTC690CS8#TRPBF guarantees a minimum reset active time of 35ms after VCC rises above the 4.65V threshold. This duration ensures sufficient time for the microprocessor and its peripherals to stabilize before releasing reset. The typical value is 50ms, and it remains valid over the full 0°C to 70°C operating temperature range. The LTC690CS8#TRPBF does not support adjustable reset timing-this feature is exclusive to the 16-pin LTC691/LTC695 variants.
Can LTC690CS8#TRPBF operate with a 3.3V supply instead of 5V?
No, the LTC690CS8#TRPBF is specified only for 4.75V to 5.5V VCC operation. Its internal voltage reference, comparators, and reset threshold (4.65V) are calibrated for 5V systems. Applying 3.3V will prevent proper reset assertion and disable the VOUT switch. For 3.3V systems, consider the LTC691CSW#TRPBF or other members of the LTC69x family explicitly rated for lower supply rails.
How does LTC690CS8#TRPBF handle battery replacement without causing spurious resets?
The LTC690CS8#TRPBF can exhibit oscillatory behavior during battery swap due to VBATT pin stray capacitance charging via standby leakage. To prevent this, connect a 4.3MΩ resistor from VBATT to GND while replacing the battery. This holds VBATT below the switchover threshold (VCC – 50mV), keeping the device in normal mode. The LTC690CS8#TRPBF's 1µA max standby current ensures negligible drain on the new battery after replacement.
What is the maximum load current supported by VOUT in battery-backup mode?
In battery-backup mode (VCC < VBATT), the LTC690CS8#TRPBF delivers VOUT through a 125Ω PMOS switch, limiting practical load current to ≤250µA for minimal dropout. At 250µA, VOUT = VBATT – 0.1V. Higher currents cause excessive voltage drop and reduce backup runtime. For >250µA loads, use the LTC691 or LTC695 with their higher-current NMOS VOUT switch and CE OUT gating capability.
Does LTC690CS8#TRPBF include a watchdog timer, and how is it configured?
Yes, the LTC690CS8#TRPBF includes a watchdog timer with two timeout periods: 100ms (short) and 1.6s (long), selected via the OSC IN signal when OSC SEL is high. The timer resets on every WDI pin transition (rising or falling edge). If WDI remains static beyond the timeout, both RESET and WDO go active low. Floating WDI disables the watchdog. The LTC690CS8#TRPBF does not support external clock input-this requires OSC SEL = low and is unavailable in the 8-pin variant.
