Product details
Overview
LTC694IN8#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is an 8-pin microprocessor supervisory IC providing guaranteed reset assertion down to VCC = 1V, 4.65V precision power supply monitoring, and integrated battery backup switching for CMOS RAM. It delivers up to 50mA from VOUT during main power operation, supports 140ms minimum reset pulse duration, and operates across –40°C to +85°C for industrial embedded systems requiring reliable power-fail warning and watchdog timing.
For engineers reviewing the LTC694IN8#PBF datasheet, LTC694IN8#PBF pinout, LTC694IN8#PBF application, or LTC694IN8#PBF equivalent, this device serves as a drop-in industrial-grade replacement for MAX690-family supervisory circuits with verified battery switchover, power-fail comparator, and watchdog timer functionality in PDIP-8 packaging.
Technical Context
The LTC694IN8#PBF integrates a bandgap voltage reference, precision comparator C1 (4.65V threshold, 40mV hysteresis), and charge-pumped NMOS power switch (5Ω typical RDS(on)) for VOUT regulation. Its internal watchdog timer uses either a fixed-frequency internal oscillator or external clock input via OSC IN/OSC SEL pins, delivering long (1.6s) or short (100ms) timeout periods.
Battery switchover is managed by comparator C2, which connects VOUT to VBATT when VCC falls 50mV below VBATT (with 20mV hysteresis) and switches back when VCC rises 70mV above VBATT. The PFI/PFO circuit employs a 1.3V internal reference to generate early power-fail warnings independent of VCC level.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Voltage Threshold | 4.65V typical; ensures µP reset activation before VCC drops below 4.75V (5% tolerance margin). |
| Minimum Reset Active Time | 140ms typical; guarantees stable µP initialization after power-up or brownout recovery. |
| VOUT Output Current | 50mA max; sufficient to power CMOS RAM and small peripherals without external boost. |
| Battery Switchover Threshold | VCC − VBATT = 50mV (power-down); prevents oscillation during marginal supply transitions. |
| Supply Current (Active) | 1.5mA max; enables low-power system monitoring without significant load on primary supply. |
| Standby Current (VBATT mode) | 1µA max; extends backup battery life for years in memory-retention applications. |
| Operating Temperature Range | –40°C to +85°C; qualified for automotive and industrial environments without derating. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead PDIP (N8), through-hole, JEDEC MS-001, 0.300" wide body, 0.100" lead pitch.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (VCC) | Main 5V supply input | Must be bypassed with ≥0.1µF capacitor; powers all internal circuitry and VOUT switch. |
| 2 (VOUT) | Backed-up memory supply output | Delivers regulated 5V-equivalent to RAM; sourced from VCC (NMOS) or VBATT (PMOS) automatically. |
| 3 (PFI) | Power-fail input | Noninverting input to 1.3V-referenced comparator; triggers PFO when voltage falls below threshold. |
| 4 (GND) | Analog/digital ground reference | Common return for all internal blocks; requires low-impedance connection to system ground plane. |
| 5 (WDI) | Watchdog timer input | Three-level input (high/low/floating); resets timeout counter on each transition; floating disables watchdog. |
| 6 (VBATT) | Backup battery input | Accepts 2.0V–4.25V auxiliary source; supplies VOUT during main power loss via PMOS switch. |
| 7 (PFO) | Power-fail output | Open-drain logic output; goes low when PFI < 1.3V, enabling µP interrupt for controlled shutdown. |
| 8 (RESET) | Active-low microprocessor reset | Guaranteed logic low down to VCC = 1V; holds µP in reset until supply stabilizes post-brownout. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Guaranteed reset at VCC = 1V | Ensures deterministic µP shutdown even during deep brownouts, preventing undefined state corruption. |
| Integrated battery switchover | Automatic NMOS/PMOS switching eliminates need for external diodes or OR-ing controllers in RAM backup paths. |
| Adjustable reset timing (via OSC SEL) | Enables fixed 200ms typical reset or user-defined timing using external capacitor on OSC IN pin. |
| Low-quiescent-current standby mode | 1µA max VBATT current preserves lithium or supercapacitor energy for multi-year data retention. |
| Power-fail comparator with 1.3V reference | Provides precise early-warning signal independent of VCC variation, supporting robust shutdown sequencing. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX690EPA+ | 4.65V reset threshold, 200ms reset timeout, no integrated battery switchover; requires external diode for backup path. | Lacks VOUT/VBATT automatic switching; suitable only where backup power is externally managed. | Select when legacy MAX690 footprint compatibility is required and battery management is handled separately. |
| TPS3823MPW | 4.63V reset threshold, 200ms fixed timeout, 1.2µA quiescent current, but no PFI/PFO or watchdog functions. | Provides basic reset only; cannot replace LTC694IN8#PBF in systems requiring power-fail warning or watchdog supervision. | Choose only for simple reset-only applications where cost and ultra-low current outweigh feature requirements. |
Compared with MAX690EPA+ and TPS3823MPW, the LTC694IN8#PBF uniquely integrates battery switchover, power-fail comparator, and watchdog timer in a single 8-pin PDIP package-enabling complete µP supervision without additional discrete components or layout area.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed minimum reset pulse width for LTC694IN8#PBF?
The LTC694IN8#PBF guarantees a minimum reset active time of 140ms at VCC = 5V and TA = 25°C, with typical value of 200ms. This duration remains valid across the full –40°C to +85°C operating range and ensures reliable microprocessor initialization after power-up or brownout recovery. The LTC694IN8#PBF achieves this using its internal oscillator when OSC SEL is high or floating.
Does LTC694IN8#PBF support battery backup for CMOS RAM without external components?
Yes, the LTC694IN8#PBF provides fully integrated battery backup switching: its internal NMOS switch (5Ω typical) delivers up to 50mA from VCC to VOUT during normal operation, and its PMOS switch automatically routes VBATT to VOUT when VCC falls below VBATT minus 50mV. No external diodes, MOSFETs, or control logic are required for basic RAM backup functionality in the LTC694IN8#PBF.
Can LTC694IN8#PBF generate an early power-fail warning before reset assertion?
Yes, the LTC694IN8#PBF includes a dedicated PFI/PFO circuit with a 1.3V internal reference. By connecting PFI to a voltage divider from the main supply, the LTC694IN8#PBF asserts PFO low several milliseconds before VCC crosses the 4.65V reset threshold-providing critical time for µP-initiated data save and graceful shutdown prior to forced reset.
What is the maximum allowable voltage on the VBATT pin of LTC694IN8#PBF?
The absolute maximum rating for the VBATT pin of LTC694IN8#PBF is 6.0V, but the recommended operating range is 2.0V to 4.25V per Electrical Characteristics. Exceeding 4.25V may compromise long-term reliability of the internal PMOS battery switch and is not characterized for performance or lifetime. Always refer to the LTC694IN8#PBF datasheet for validated operating conditions.
How does the watchdog timer in LTC694IN8#PBF respond to WDI pin states?
The LTC694IN8#PBF watchdog timer resets its internal counter on every transition (rising or falling) of the WDI pin. If WDI remains static (high or low) longer than the programmed timeout period (1.6s long or 100ms short), both RESET and WDO outputs go active low. Floating WDI disables the watchdog function entirely-ensuring the LTC694IN8#PBF remains fully functional even when watchdog supervision is not required.
