Product details
Overview
LTC691ISW#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 16-pin microprocessor supervisory IC with integrated battery backup, power-fail warning, watchdog timer, and RAM write-protection logic. It features a 4.65V precision reset threshold, guaranteed RESET assertion down to VCC = 1V, 35ms minimum reset active time (adjustable), 1.5mA max supply current, and dual VOUT switching (NMOS/PMOS) for CMOS RAM backup. It is used in industrial controllers and battery-powered embedded systems requiring reliable power monitoring and memory retention.
For engineers reviewing the LTC691ISW#TRPBF datasheet, LTC691ISW#TRPBF pinout, LTC691ISW#TRPBF application, or LTC691ISW#TRPBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its –40°C to +85°C industrial temperature rating, 16-lead wide SOIC (SW) package, adjustable reset timeout via OSC SEL/OSC IN, and dual active-low/high RESET outputs for flexible µP interface design.
Technical Context
The LTC691ISW#TRPBF integrates a bandgap voltage reference, precision comparator C1 (40mV hysteresis), charge-pumped NMOS switch (5Ω typical RDS(on), 50mA output), and PMOS battery switchover switch (125Ω, 250µA standby). Its internal oscillator sets reset timing and watchdog timeout, configurable via OSC SEL pin to select between fixed (50ms typical) or externally adjustable modes using OSC IN.
It implements conditional battery backup: when VCC drops below VBATT − 50mV, VOUT switches to VBATT; hysteresis prevents chatter. The CE IN/CE OUT gating circuit forces CE OUT high during undervoltage, unconditionally write-protecting external CMOS RAM. PFI/PFO provide user-defined power-fail detection referenced to a stable 1.3V internal reference.

Pinout & Package
Package: 16-lead wide plastic SOIC (SW), 7.5mm × 10.3mm body, 1.27mm pitch, RoHS-compliant lead-free finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC | Primary 5V supply input | Bypassed with 0.1µF capacitor; powers all internal circuits except battery path. |
| VOUT | Backed-up memory supply output | Switches automatically between VCC (NMOS) and VBATT (PMOS); delivers up to 50mA. |
| VBATT | Battery backup input | Connects to auxiliary source; enables VOUT operation when VCC fails. |
| GND | Analog/digital ground reference | Common return for all internal blocks; must be low-impedance connection. |
| BATT ON | Battery status logic output | Active-low open-drain signal indicating VOUT sourced from VBATT; sinks 35mA. |
| LOWLINE | Active-low line-failure indicator | Complements RESET; goes low when VCC < 4.65V and returns high immediately on recovery. |
| OSC IN | Oscillator input/control | Accepts external clock or capacitor for adjustable reset/watchdog timing when OSC SEL = low. |
| OSC SEL | Oscillator mode selector | High/floating = internal oscillator; low = external timing control via OSC IN. |
| RESET | Active-low microprocessor reset | Guaranteed low down to VCC = 1V; minimum 35ms pulse width after power-up or watchdog timeout. |
| RESET | Active-high microprocessor reset | Inverted copy of RESET; simplifies interface to µPs requiring active-high reset. |
| WDO | Watchdog timeout indicator | Active-low output asserted when WDI remains static beyond timeout period. |
| CE IN | Chip enable input gate | Logic input from µP address decoder; controls CE OUT state during normal operation. |
| CE OUT | Protected chip enable output | Buffered CE IN during valid VCC; forced high during undervoltage to prevent RAM writes. |
| WDI | Watchdog input | Three-level input (low/high/floating); transitions reset watchdog timer; floating disables it. |
| PFI | Power-fail input | Non-inverting input to 1.3V-referenced comparator; monitors external voltage divider for early warning. |
| PFO | Power-fail output | Active-low open-drain output; signals impending supply collapse before RESET asserts. |

FAQ
What is the guaranteed minimum VCC level at which LTC691ISW#TRPBF asserts RESET?
LTC691ISW#TRPBF guarantees RESET remains logic low down to VCC = 1V, ensuring reliable microprocessor hold-down during severe brownout conditions. This specification is tested and guaranteed over the full –40°C to +85°C operating temperature range, independent of load or VBATT voltage. The internal comparator and reset pulse generator maintain functional integrity even as VCC collapses, making LTC691ISW#TRPBF suitable for safety-critical applications where deterministic shutdown is mandatory.
How does LTC691ISW#TRPBF handle battery switchover between VCC and VBATT?
LTC691ISW#TRPBF uses two comparators with 50mV turn-on and 70mV turn-off thresholds and 20mV hysteresis to control NMOS (VCC→VOUT) and PMOS (VBATT→VOUT) switches. When VCC rises above VBATT + 50mV, VOUT connects to VCC; when VCC falls below VBATT + 50mV, VOUT switches to VBATT. This hysteresis prevents oscillation near the crossover point. The NMOS switch has ~5Ω RDS(on) (50mA capable), while the PMOS switch exhibits ~125Ω resistance (250µA standby).
Can LTC691ISW#TRPBF be used without a backup battery?
Yes, LTC691ISW#TRPBF operates fully without a backup battery: connect VBATT to GND and VOUT to VCC. All supervisory functions-including RESET, WDO, PFO, LOWLINE, and CE OUT gating-remain active. The battery switchover circuit is disabled, and VOUT is sourced solely from VCC. This configuration retains power-fail warning, watchdog supervision, and RAM write protection, making LTC691ISW#TRPBF viable for cost-sensitive applications where battery backup is optional.
What is the function of CE IN and CE OUT pins on LTC691ISW#TRPBF?
CE IN accepts a logic signal (e.g., from µP address decoder) to enable external memory; CE OUT is a buffered, fault-protected replica. When VCC ≥ 4.65V, CE OUT follows CE IN with 20ns propagation delay. When VCC drops below the reset threshold or VBATT, CE OUT is forced high-unconditionally disabling memory writes. This hardware-enforced write protection prevents data corruption during power instability, eliminating reliance on firmware-based safeguards in LTC691ISW#TRPBF designs.
Does LTC691ISW#TRPBF support adjustable watchdog timeout periods?
Yes, LTC691ISW#TRPBF supports two watchdog timeout periods-100ms (short) and 1.6s (long)-selected by the OSC SEL pin state. When OSC SEL is high or floating, the internal oscillator sets the timeout; when OSC SEL is low, an external clock applied to OSC IN determines timing. The timeout period immediately after reset is always 1.6s typical. This dual-mode flexibility allows LTC691ISW#TRPBF to adapt to varying firmware execution profiles without external components.
