Product details
Overview
LTC694CS8-3.3#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 3.3V microprocessor supervisory circuit integrating power-on reset, battery-backed RAM power switching, RAM write protection, power-fail warning, and watchdog timing in an 8-pin SOIC package. It asserts RESET below 2.90V threshold, guarantees logic-low RESET down to VCC = 1V, delivers up to 50mA from VOUT via charge-pumped NMOS switch, and consumes only 0.6mW typical operating power - enabling robust system monitoring in battery-powered controllers and industrial embedded systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC694CS8-3.3#TRPBF datasheet, LTC694CS8-3.3#TRPBF pinout, LTC694CS8-3.3#TRPBF application, or LTC694CS8-3.3#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed reset assertion at 1V VCC, 2.90V precision supply monitor, fast 30ns CE gating for RAM write protection, 1μA max battery-backup current, and SO-8 footprint compatibility with legacy LTC694/LTC695 designs.
Technical Context
The LTC694CS8-3.3#TRPBF implements dual comparator-based supervision: C1 monitors VCC against a 2.90V bandgap reference with 40mV hysteresis for glitch immunity, while C2 performs battery switchover by comparing VCC and VBATT with 70mV/50mV thresholds and 20mV hysteresis. Its internal charge-pumped NMOS switch (M1) supplies VOUT from VCC with 5Ω typical RDS(on), and a PMOS switch (M2) enables low-dropout battery backup delivering 250μA at <100mV dropout.
It integrates a programmable watchdog timer with two timeout modes (100ms/1.6s typical) selectable via OSC SEL, and a user-configurable power-fail detector (C3) comparing PFI to a 1.30V internal reference. The device supports external capacitor-based timing on OSC IN and includes dedicated CE IN/CE OUT pins for sub-50ns RAM chip-enable gating during brownout.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 2.90V ±0.10V - ensures reliable μP reset before 3.3V rail collapse into invalid operating range |
| VCC Range for RESET Assertion | Down to 1V - maintains active-low reset state through deep brownout, preventing μP runaway |
| VOUT Supply Current | 50mA max - sufficient to power CMOS RAM and small logic during primary supply loss |
| Battery Backup Current | 1μA max - minimizes auxiliary battery drain during extended standby |
| CE Gating Propagation Delay | 30ns typical - enables real-time RAM write blocking when VCC drops below threshold |
| Power Consumption | 0.6mW typical at 3.3V - reduces thermal load and extends battery life in portable systems |
| Package | 8-Lead Plastic SO (S8) - industry-standard footprint compatible with automated assembly |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-Lead Plastic SO (S8), 180°C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance, operating temperature range 0°C to 70°C.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1: VBATT | Battery Input | Connects auxiliary battery (1.5–2.75V); enables PMOS switchover to VOUT when VCC falls below VBATT −50mV |
| 2: VCC | Main Supply Input | 3.3V system rail input; monitored by C1 for reset generation and by C2 for battery switchover |
| 3: VOUT | Backed-Up Memory Output | Delivers regulated power to RAM; sourced from VCC via NMOS switch (5Ω) or VBATT via PMOS switch (125Ω) |
| 4: GND | Ground Reference | Common return for all analog and digital functions; requires local 0.1μF bypass |
| 5: PFI | Power-Fail Input | Non-inverting input to C3 comparator; triggers PFO low when voltage falls below 1.30V threshold |
| 6: GND | Ground Reference | Second ground pin for noise isolation; must be tied to same plane as Pin 4 |
| 7: PFO | Power-Fail Output | Open-drain output signaling early power degradation; used to interrupt μP for controlled shutdown |
| 8: RESET | Active-Low Reset Output | Drives μP reset pin low during brownout or watchdog timeout; guaranteed functional down to VCC = 1V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Guaranteed Reset at 1V VCC | Enables fail-safe shutdown even during severe brownout, preventing undefined μP behavior |
| Charge-Pumped NMOS VOUT Switch | Achieves 5Ω RDS(on) and <0.1V dropout at 50mA - eliminates substrate injection and battery overcharge risk |
| Integrated RAM Write Protection | CE IN/CE OUT path blocks writes within 30ns of VCC drop - preserves data integrity without external logic |
| Adjustable Power-Fail Warning | PFI/PFO pair allows configurable early-warning threshold (e.g., trip at 3.1V before 2.9V reset) via external divider |
| Low-Power Battery Backup Mode | 1μA max supply current with VCC = 0V - extends lithium or coin-cell life for years in standby |

FAQ
What is the guaranteed minimum VCC level at which LTC694CS8-3.3#TRPBF maintains valid RESET assertion?
The LTC694CS8-3.3#TRPBF guarantees RESET remains logic low down to VCC = 1V with ISINK = 10μA. This is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables, where RESET output voltage is specified at 4mV (max) under those conditions. This feature ensures the microprocessor stays held in reset during deep brownout events where other supervisors would release prematurely, preventing undefined execution states in the LTC694CS8-3.3#TRPBF-equipped system.
Does LTC694CS8-3.3#TRPBF support battery-backed RAM power switchover, and what are the voltage limits?
Yes, the LTC694CS8-3.3#TRPBF supports automatic battery switchover via its VBATT and VOUT pins. It connects VOUT to VBATT when VCC falls below VBATT −50mV, using a 125Ω PMOS switch optimized for low-dropout backup. VBATT operates from 1.5V to 2.75V, and the device draws only 1μA maximum in battery-backup mode. This capability is explicitly documented in the Battery Back-Up Switching section of the Electrical Characteristics table and the Battery Switchover Applications Information subsection for the LTC694CS8-3.3#TRPBF.
How does the CE IN/CE OUT function protect RAM writes during supply brownout?
The LTC694CS8-3.3#TRPBF uses CE IN as a chip-enable input and CE OUT as a buffered, fault-tolerant replica. When VCC is above 2.90V, CE OUT follows CE IN with 30ns typical propagation delay. When VCC drops below threshold or VBATT, CE OUT is forced high - disabling RAM writes regardless of CE IN state. This hardware-enforced write lock is detailed in Figure 5 and the Memory Protection Applications Information section, ensuring data integrity without software intervention in the LTC694CS8-3.3#TRPBF design.
Can LTC694CS8-3.3#TRPBF generate an early power-fail warning, and how is it configured?
Yes, the LTC694CS8-3.3#TRPBF provides early power-fail warning via its PFI/PFO pins. PFI accepts a user-defined voltage (e.g., from a resistor divider off VCC), and PFO asserts low when PFI falls below 1.30V. Hysteresis can be added using an external resistor from PFO to PFI, enabling adjustable upper/lower trip points. This is fully described in the Power-Fail Warning Applications Information section and verified in Figures 8–9 of the LTC694CS8-3.3#TRPBF datasheet.
What is the maximum continuous output current capability of VOUT on LTC694CS8-3.3#TRPBF?
The VOUT pin of the LTC694CS8-3.3#TRPBF delivers up to 50mA continuously when powered from VCC via its internal charge-pumped NMOS switch, with a typical on-resistance of 5Ω. This is specified in the "VOUT Output Voltage" row of the Electrical Characteristics table under IOUT = 50mA conditions. Short-circuit protection limits peak current to ~200mA, and thermal shutdown activates at ~155°C to protect the LTC694CS8-3.3#TRPBF during overload.
