Product details
Overview
LTC692CS8#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is an 8-pin SOIC microprocessor supervisory IC integrating power-on reset, battery backup switchover, power-fail warning, and watchdog timer functions. It features a 4.40V precision reset threshold, guaranteed RESET assertion down to VCC = 1V, 1.5mA max supply current, 35ns fast CE gating for RAM write protection, and thermal limiting. It is used in battery-powered controllers and automotive systems requiring robust power monitoring.
For engineers reviewing the LTC692CS8#PBF datasheet, LTC692CS8#PBF pinout, LTC692CS8#PBF application, or LTC692CS8#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its fixed 200ms reset timeout (non-adjustable), absence of RESET and LOW LINE dual outputs (distinguishing it from LTC693), 8-pin SO package, and support for CMOS RAM write-protection via CE IN/CE OUT with 20ns propagation delay.
Technical Context
The LTC692CS8#PBF implements a bandgap-referenced voltage comparator (C1) for precise 4.40V ±150mV reset threshold detection with 40mV hysteresis, ensuring immunity to VCC transients. Its internal charge-pumped NMOS switch delivers up to 50mA to VOUT with 5Ω typical on-resistance and supports seamless switchover between VCC and VBATT based on a 70mV/50mV threshold/hysteresis window.
A dedicated power-fail comparator (C3) references a stable 1.3V internal reference and drives PFO low when PFI falls below 1.3V; C3 lacks built-in hysteresis but supports external hysteresis via feedback resistors. The watchdog timer uses either the internal oscillator (1.6s/100ms timeout) or external clock input (OSC IN), with WDI requiring toggling every timeout period to prevent RESET assertion.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.40V typical; ensures reliable μP reset before VCC drops below 4.25V min, critical for stable system boot. |
| Reset Active Time | 200ms typical (fixed); provides sufficient hold time for μP initialization and clock stabilization after power-up. |
| VOUT Output Capability | 50mA max at VCC – 0.5V dropout; powers backed-up CMOS RAM directly without external regulators. |
| Battery Switchover Threshold | VCC – VBATT = 70mV (power-up), 50mV (power-down); prevents oscillation during marginal supply conditions. |
| Supply Current | 1.5mA max (active), 1μA max (battery backup); enables long-life operation in battery-powered systems. |
| CE Propagation Delay | 20ns typical; enables fast, glitch-free write-protection of RAM during brownout events. |
| RESET Low Voltage @ VCC=1V | 200mV max at 10μA sink; guarantees valid logic-low signal to hold μP in reset even under severe undervoltage. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead plastic SO (SOIC-8), surface-mount, JEDEC MS-012AC, 150 mil width. Thermal resistance θJA = 180°C/W on FR4 PCB with still air.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VOUT | Voltage output for backed-up memory | Delivers regulated power to CMOS RAM; switches between VCC (NMOS) and VBATT (PMOS) automatically. |
| VCC | 5V main supply input | Primary power source; monitored for reset generation and used to drive internal circuits and VOUT. |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return path for all analog and digital functions; must be low-impedance for stability. |
| PFI | Power-fail input | Non-inverting input to 1.3V comparator; senses early power degradation via external resistor divider. |
| VBATT | Backup battery input | Secondary power source; activates VOUT backup path when VCC falls below VBATT by 50mV. |
| RESET | Active-low microprocessor reset output | Open-drain logic output; asserts low during power-up, brownout, or watchdog timeout. |
| WDI | Watchdog timer input | Three-level input (high/low/floating); toggling resets watchdog; floating disables timer. |
| PFO | Power-fail output | Open-drain logic output; goes low when PFI < 1.3V, signaling impending supply failure. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Guaranteed reset assertion at VCC = 1V | Ensures μP remains held in reset during deep brownout, preventing undefined execution or data corruption. |
| Fast 35ns CE gating of RAM chip-enable signals | Prevents spurious writes to volatile memory during power transitions with minimal timing overhead. |
| Integrated battery switchover with 20mV hysteresis | Eliminates chatter during VCC/VBATT crossover, extending backup battery life and ensuring clean transition. |
| 1μA max standby current in battery backup mode | Supports multi-year operation on coin-cell batteries for memory retention in unpowered systems. |
| Thermal limiting with ~155°C shutdown threshold | Protects device and PCB during sustained overload or short-circuit conditions without external components. |

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, no watchdog timer, no PFI/PFO, no CE gating; 8-pin SOIC. | Lacks power-fail warning and memory write-protection; suitable only for basic reset-only use cases. | Select only if system requires no watchdog, no battery backup, and higher reset threshold tolerance. |
| LTC693CS#PBF | 16-pin SOIC, adds RESET (active-high), LOW LINE, OSC SEL, BATT ON, and adjustable reset timeout. | Enables dual-reset signaling, external transistor drive for high-current backup, and configurable timing-requires PCB redesign. | Choose when needing active-high reset, extended pin count for diagnostics, or >50mA VOUT capability. |

FAQ
What is the reset timeout duration for LTC692CS8#PBF, and is it adjustable?
The LTC692CS8#PBF has a fixed reset active time of 200ms typical (140ms minimum), determined by its internal oscillator. Unlike the LTC693CS#PBF, this timeout is not adjustable via external components or pins. This fixed timing simplifies design for applications requiring consistent, predictable reset hold duration without configuration overhead. The LTC692CS8#PBF achieves this using an internal RC oscillator, eliminating the need for external timing capacitors while maintaining tight specification over temperature.
Does LTC692CS8#PBF support both active-high and active-low reset outputs?
No, the LTC692CS8#PBF provides only a single active-low RESET output. It does not include the complementary active-high RESET output found on the pin-compatible but functionally enhanced LTC693CS#PBF. This distinction is clearly documented in the Product Selection Guide table on page 3 of the datasheet, which lists "X" under RESET for LTC692 and "✓" for LTC693. Therefore, systems requiring dual-polarity reset signaling must use LTC693CS#PBF or add external logic.
Can LTC692CS8#PBF drive more than 50mA to VOUT in battery backup mode?
No, the LTC692CS8#PBF's VOUT is rated for up to 50mA from VCC and only 250μA from VBATT in backup mode, with a 125Ω PMOS switch impedance. Attempting higher loads causes excessive dropout and potential instability. For >50mA applications, the datasheet explicitly recommends using the LTC693CS#PBF with its BATT ON output to drive an external PNP transistor, or adding a Schottky diode from VCC to VOUT - neither option is supported natively by the LTC692CS8#PBF.
How does the power-fail comparator (PFI/PFO) function in LTC692CS8#PBF?
The LTC692CS8#PBF's PFI pin connects to an internal 1.3V comparator (C3); when PFI voltage falls below 1.3V, PFO asserts low. This allows early warning of supply decay before the 4.40V reset threshold is breached. The comparator has no built-in hysteresis, but external hysteresis can be added using resistors between PFO and PFI. The PFI input draws only ±25nA, enabling high-impedance sensing networks without loading error - a key advantage over older supervisory ICs.
What is the maximum allowable voltage on the VBATT pin of LTC692CS8#PBF?
The absolute maximum rating for VBATT is 6.0V, but the recommended operating range is 2.0V to 4.0V per the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3. Exceeding 4.0V risks violating the battery switchover comparator's design assumptions and may cause unreliable VOUT switching or increased leakage. For lithium coin cells (3V) or rechargeable Li-ion (3.6–4.2V), operation within 2.0–4.0V ensures specified performance, including 1μA max standby current and proper switchover hysteresis.
