DESCRIPTION
The SP690T/S/R, SP802T/S/R, SP804T/S/R and SP805T/S/R devices are a family of
microprocessor (µP) supervisory circuits that integrate a myriad of components involved in
discrete solutions to monitor power-supply and battery-control functions in µP and digital
systems. The series will significantly improve system reliability and operational efficiency
when compared to discrete solutions. The features of the SP690T/S/R, SP802T/S/R,SP804T/S/R and SP805T/S/R devices include a watchdog timer, a µP reset and backup-
battery switchover, and power-failure warning; a complete µP monitoring and watchdog
solution. The series is ideal for 3.0V or 3.3V applications in portable electronics, computers,
controllers, and intelligent instruments and is a solid match for designs where it is critical to
monitor the power supply to the µP and it’s related digital components. Refer to Sipex's
SP690A/692A/802L/802M/805L/805M series for similar devices designed for +5V systems.

The SP690T/S/R, SP802T/S/R, SP804T/S/R
and SP805T/S/R devices provide four key
functions:
1. A battery backup switch for CMOS RAM,
CMOS microprocessors, or other logic.
2. A reset output during power-up, power-down
and brownout conditions.
3. A reset pulse if the optional watchdog timer
has not been toggled within a specified time.
4. A 1.25V threshold detector for power-fail
warning, low battery detection, or to monitor a
power supply other than 3.3V or 3.0V.
The SP690T/S/R, SP802T/S/R, SP804T/S/R
and SP805T/S/R devices differ in their reset-
voltage threshold levels and are ideally suited
for applications in automotive systems, intelligent
instruments, and battery-powered computers and
controllers. The series is a solid match for
designs where it is critical to monitor the
power supply to the µP and it’s related digital
components.

The SP690T/S/R, SP802T/S/R, SP804T/S/R
and SP805T/S/R devices are microprocessor
(µP) supervisory circuits that monitor the power
supplied to digital circuits such as microprocessors, microcontrollers, or memory. The series is
an ideal solution for portable, battery-powered
equipment that requires power supply monitoring.
Implementing this series will reduce the
number of components and overall complexity.
The watchdog functions of this product family
will continuously oversee the operational status
of a system.
These µP supervisory circuits are not shortcircuit protected. Shorting V

features and benefits of the SP690T/S/R,SP802T/S/R, SP804T/S/R and SP805T/S/R
devices are described in more detail below.
Reset Output
The microprocessor's (µP's) reset input starts
the µP in a known state. When the µP is in an
unknown state, it should be held in reset. The
SP690T/S/R, SP802T/S/R, SP804T/S/R and
SP805T/S/R devices assert reset during
power-up and prevent code execution errors
during power-down or brownout conditions.
RESET is guaranteed to be a logic LOW for 0V

than 1V. Without a backup battery, RESET is
guaranteed valid for VCC > 1V. Once V
exceeds the reset threshold, an internal timer
, provided that V
RST
BATTERY

CC
keeps RESET low for the reset timeout period.
After this period, RESET goes HIGH, as seen in
Figure 19.
RESET for the SP690T/S/R and the SP802T/S/R
*
RESET for the SP804T/S/R and the SP805T/S/R
Figure 20. Typical Operating Circuit
If a brownout condition occurs and VCC dips
below the reset threshold, RESET goes LOW.
Each time RESET is triggered, it stays low for
the reset timeout period. Any time VCC goes
below the reset threshold, the internal timer
restarts.
The watchdog timer can also initiate a reset.
Refer to the Watchdog Input section.
The SP804T/S/R and SP805T/S/R active-HIGH
RESET output is open drain and the inverse
of the SP690T/S/R and SP802T/S/R RESET
outputs.
RESET is also triggered by a watchdog timeout.
If WDI remains either high or low for a period
that exceeds the watchdog timeout period (1.6
sec), RESET pulses low for 200mS. As long as
RESET is asserted, the watchdog timer remains
cleared. When RESET comes high, the watchdog resumes timing and must be serviced within
1.6sec. If WDI is tied high or low, a RESET
pulse is triggered every 1.8sec (tWD plus tRS).
Reset Threshold
The SP690T and SP805T devices are designed
for 3.3V systems with a ±5% power-supply
tolerance and a 10% system tolerance. Except
for watchdog faults, reset will not assert as long
as the power supply remains above 3.15V (3.3V
- 5%). Reset is guaranteed to assert before the
power supply falls below 3.0V.
The SP690S and SP805S devices are designed
for 3.3V ±10% power supplies. Except for
watchdog faults, they are guaranteed not to
assert reset as long as the supply remains above
3.0V (3.3V - 10%). Reset is guaranteed to
assert before the power supply fails below 2.85V
(VCC - 14%).
Watchdog Input
The watchdog circuit monitors the µP's activity.
If the µP does not toggle the watchdog input
(WDI) within 1.6sec, a reset pulse is triggered.
The internal 1.6sec timer is cleared by either a
reset pulse or by a transition (LOW-to-HIGH or
HIGH-to-LOW) at WDI. If WDI is tied HIGH
or LOW, a RESET pulse is triggered every
1.8sec (tWD plus tRS).
As long as reset is asserted, the timer remains
cleared and does not count. As soon as reset is
de-asserted, the timer starts counting. Unlike
the 5V SP690A series, the watchdog function
cannot be disabled.
Power-Fail Comparator
The power-fail comparator can be used as an
under-voltage detector to signal the failing of a
power supply (it is completely separate from the
rest of the circuitry and does not need to be
dedicated to this function). The PFI input is
compared to an internal 1.25V. If PFI is less than
V
, PFO goes low.
PFT
The power-fail comparator turns off and PFO
goes LOW when VCC falls below VSW on
power-down. The power-fail comparator turns
on as VCC crosses VSW on power-up. If the
comparator is not used, connect PFI to ground
and leave PFO unconnected.
Backup-Battery Switchover
The SP690R and SP805R devices are optimized
for monitoring 3.0V ±10% power supplies. Reset
will not occur until VCC falls below 2.7V (3.0V
- 10%), but is guaranteed to occur before the
supply falls below 2.55V (3.0V - 15%).
The SP802T/S/R and SP804T/S/R devices are
respectively similar to the SP690T/S/R and
SP805T/S/R devices with tightened reset
and power-fail threshold tolerances.

Monitoring an Additional Power Supply
These µP supervisors can monitor either positive
or negative supplies using a resistor voltage
divider to PFI. PFO can be used to generate an
interrupt to the µP, as seen in Figure 23.
Interfacing to µPs with Bidirectional
Reset Pins
Any µPs with bidirectional reset pins, such as
the Motorola 68HC11 series, can interface with
the SP690_ and the SP802_ RESET outputs.
For example, if the RESET output is driven
HIGH and the µP wants to pull it LOW,
indeterminate logic levels may result. To correct
this, connect a 4.7kΩ resistor between the
RESET output and the µP reset I/O, as in
Figure 24. Buffer the RESET output to other
system components.

Figure 25. Maximum Transient Duration without
Causing a Reset Pulse vs. Reset Comparator Overdrive
Generated
Figure 25 shows maximum transient duration
vs. reset-comparator overdrive, for which reset
pulses are not generated. The data was generated
using negative-going VCC pulses, starting at
3.3V and ending below the reset threshold by
the magnitude indicated (reset comparator
overdrive). The graph shows the maximum pulse
width a negative-going VCC transient may
typically have without causing a reset pulse to
be issued. As the amplitude of the transient
increases (i.e. goes farther below the reset
threshold), the maximum allowable pulse width
decreases. Typically, a VCC transient that goes
100mV below the reset threshold and lasts for
40µs or less will not cause a reset pulse to be
issued. A 100nF bypass capacitor mounted close
to the VCC pin provides additional transient
immunity.
Negative-Going VCC Transients
While issuing resets to the µP during power-up,
power-down, and brownout conditions, these
supervisors are relatively immune to shortduration negative-going VCC transients
(glitches). It is usually undesirable to reset the
µP when VCC experiences only small glitches.
