Product details
Overview
LTC695CN-3.3#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 3.3V microprocessor supervisory circuit integrating power-on reset, battery back-up switching, RAM write protection, power-fail warning, and watchdog timing in a single 16-lead PDIP package. It asserts RESET at VCC ≤ 2.90V (typ), maintains guaranteed logic-low RESET down to VCC = 1V, delivers up to 50mA from VOUT via charge-pumped NMOS switch, and supports adjustable reset timeout (140–280ms) - enabling robust system-level power monitoring for embedded 3.3V microcontrollers.
For engineers reviewing the LTC695CN-3.3#PBF datasheet, LTC695CN-3.3#PBF pinout, LTC695CN-3.3#PBF application, or LTC695CN-3.3#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed reset assertion below 1V, 2.90V precision voltage monitor with 40mV hysteresis, 1μA max battery-backup supply current, fast 30ns CE IN→CE OUT propagation, and dual-reset outputs (RESET and active-high RESET) for flexible μP interface design.
Technical Context
The LTC695CN-3.3#PBF implements three independent comparators: C1 monitors VCC against a 2.90V bandgap reference for reset generation; C2 compares VCC and VBATT to control NMOS/PMOS switchover between main and battery supplies; C3 compares PFI against an internal 1.3V reference for programmable power-fail detection. All comparators operate across 0°C to 70°C with specified PSRR and response time (e.g., C3 rising-edge response ≤ 8μs with 10kΩ pull-up).
Its integrated watchdog timer uses either an internal oscillator (100ms/1.6s timeout) or external clock input (via OSC IN/OSC SEL), with WDI accepting three-level logic (high/low/floating) and automatic reset on each transition. The CE gating circuit provides 30ns-typical propagation delay and forces CE OUT high during reset, ensuring RAM write protection independent of CE IN state.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 2.90V typical (2.8–3.0V min/max); ensures reliable μP reset before supply collapse in 3.3V systems. |
| Reset Active Time | 140–280ms (adjustable via OSC SEL/external capacitor); meets JEDEC JESD78 latch-up immunity requirements. |
| VOUT Output Current | 50mA max (NMOS switch); powers CMOS RAM directly without external regulators or diodes. |
| Battery Backup Current | 1μA maximum (VBATT = 2V, VCC = 0V); extends lithium backup battery life beyond 10 years in standby. |
| Power-Fail Threshold | 1.30V ±0.05V (PFI input); enables early-warning shutdown when primary supply decays toward reset threshold. |
| CE IN → CE OUT Delay | 30ns typical; preserves memory access timing integrity during brownout transitions. |
| Supply Current (Active) | 200μA typical (VCC = 3.6V); minimizes quiescent load on 3.3V rail in always-on monitoring applications. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 16-lead plastic DIP (N package), 0°C to 70°C operating range, θJA = 130°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC | 3.3V Main Supply Input | Primary power source; monitored by comparator C1 for reset generation; requires 0.1μF bypass. |
| VOUT | Backed-Up Memory Output | Delivers regulated 3.3V-equivalent to RAM during main supply loss; NMOS-switched (5Ω RDS(on)) in normal mode, PMOS-switched in backup. |
| VBATT | Battery Input | Accepts 1.5–2.75V auxiliary supply; triggers switchover when VCC falls 50mV below VBATT. |
| GND | Ground Reference | Common return for all analog and digital functions; must be low-impedance connection. |
| BATT ON | Battery-On Logic Output | Drives external PNP transistor base to boost VOUT current beyond 50mA; sinks 25mA typical. |
| OSC IN / OSC SEL | Oscillator Control Interface | Configures internal/external clock source for reset timeout and watchdog period; OSC SEL high = internal oscillator enabled. |
| WDI | Watchdog Input | Three-level input (high/low/floating); resets watchdog timer on every transition; disables timer when floating. |
| RESET / RESET | Complementary Reset Outputs | Active-low RESET and active-high RESET provide direct interface to μP reset pins and status monitoring logic. |
| PFI / PFO | Power-Fail Monitor I/O | PFI senses external voltage divider; PFO asserts low when PFI < 1.3V - used for early shutdown interrupt. |
| CE IN / CE OUT | Chip Enable Gating Pair | CE IN accepts address decoder output; CE OUT mirrors CE IN during valid VCC, forced high during reset to block RAM writes. |
| LOW_LINE | Direct VCC Monitor Output | Logic-low when VCC < 2.90V; returns high immediately upon VCC recovery - no reset delay. |
| WDO | Watchdog Logic Output | Active-low watchdog fault indicator; asserted when WDI remains static > timeout period; resets on WDI transition or LOW_LINE low. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Guaranteed Reset Below 1V | RESET output remains logic-low down to VCC = 1V, ensuring deterministic μP shutdown even during deep brownout. |
| Charge-Pumped NMOS Power Switch | Enables 50mA VOUT delivery with <5Ω dropout and zero substrate injection - eliminates parasitic battery charging in Li-based systems. |
| Programmable Power-Fail Warning | PFI/PFO pair allows user-defined trip point (e.g., 3.1V on 3.3V rail) with optional hysteresis via external resistor network. |
| Fast CE Gating | 30ns CE IN→CE OUT propagation ensures RAM write protection engages before supply collapse corrupts data. |
| Thermal-Limited Safe-Area Operation | Internal thermal shutdown at ~155°C (10°C hysteresis) prevents damage during sustained overload or short-circuit conditions. |

FAQ
What is the minimum VCC voltage at which LTC695CN-3.3#PBF guarantees RESET remains logic-low?
The LTC695CN-3.3#PBF guarantees RESET output stays logic-low down to VCC = 1V, with ISINK = 10μA. This ensures the microprocessor remains held in reset during deep brownout conditions where other supervisors fail, preserving system integrity until full power recovery. The specification is tested and guaranteed over the full 0°C to 70°C temperature range.
How does LTC695CN-3.3#PBF protect RAM during power failure?
The LTC695CN-3.3#PBF protects RAM through dual mechanisms: (1) it switches VOUT from VCC to VBATT via an internal PMOS switch when VCC drops 50mV below VBATT, maintaining memory voltage; and (2) it forces CE OUT high during reset, blocking write operations to CMOS RAM regardless of CE IN state. This prevents data corruption during supply collapse.
Can LTC695CN-3.3#PBF generate an early warning before reset occurs?
Yes. The LTC695CN-3.3#PBF provides early warning via its PFI/PFO comparator pair: PFI accepts a user-defined voltage divider input, and PFO asserts low when PFI falls below 1.30V. By setting the divider to trigger PFO at e.g., 3.1V on a 3.3V rail, the system gains ~15ms of warning before RESET activates at 2.90V - sufficient time to save critical state.
What is the function of the BATT ON pin on LTC695CN-3.3#PBF?
The BATT ON pin on LTC695CN-3.3#PBF is an open-drain logic output that goes low when VOUT is connected to VCC and high when VOUT is switched to VBATT. It can sink 25mA typical and is intended to drive the base of an external PNP transistor, enabling VOUT current delivery beyond the internal 50mA NMOS switch limit - essential for high-current RAM or peripheral loads.
Does LTC695CN-3.3#PBF support adjustable reset timeout duration?
Yes. The LTC695CN-3.3#PBF supports adjustable reset timeout via the OSC SEL and OSC IN pins. With OSC SEL high, the internal oscillator sets a fixed 200ms typical timeout. With OSC SEL low, an external capacitor on OSC IN sets the timeout per the formula in the datasheet, allowing customization from ~140ms to 280ms - meeting diverse μP initialization requirements.
