DESCRIPTION
The SP691A/693A/800L/800M is a microprocessor (µP) supervisory circuit that integrates
a myriad of components involved in discrete solutions to monitor power-supply and
battery-control functions in µP and digital systems. The SP691A/693A/800L/800M offers
complete µP monitoring and watchdog functions. The SP691A/693A/800L/800M is ideal for
a low-cost battery management solution and is well suited for portable, battery-powered
applications with its supply current of 35µA. The 6ns chip-enable propagation delay,
the 25mA current output in battery-backup mode, and the 250mA current output in
standard operation also makes the SP691A/693A/800L/800M suitable for larger scale,
high-performance equipment.
These are stress ratings only and functional operation
of the device at these ratings or any other above those
indicated in the operation sections of the specifications
below is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum
rating conditions for extended periods of time may
affect reliability.

FEATURES
The SP691A/693A/800L/800M devices are
microprocessor (µP) supervisory circuits that
monitor the power supplied to digital circuits
such as microprocessors, microcontrollers, or
memory. The SP691A/693A/800L/800M series
is an ideal solution for portable, batterypowered equipment that require power supply
monitoring. The SP691A/693A/800L/800M
watchdog functions will continuously oversee
the operational status of a system. Implementing
the SP691A/693A/800L/800M series will
reduce the number of components and overall
complexity in a design that requires power
supply monitoring circuitry. The operational
features and benefits of this series are described
in more detail below.
GND
THEORY OF OPERATION
The SP691A/693A/800L/800M series is a
complete µP supervisor IC and provides the
following main functions:
1) µP reset ➡ Reset output is asserted during
power fluxiations such as power-up,
power-down, and brown out conditions, and
is guaranteed to be in the correct state for
VCC down to 1V, even with no battery in
the circuit.
2) µP reset ➡ Reset output is pulsed if the
optional watchdog timer has not been
toggled within a specified time.
3) Power Fail Comparator ➡ Provides for
power-fail warning and low-battery
detection, or monitors another power
supply.
where the watchdog output goes to a logic
LOW state if the watchdog input is not
toggled for greater than the timeout period.
5) Internal switch ➡ Switches over from V

BATT
CC
RESET and RESET Outputs
The SP691A/693A/800L/800M devices'
RESET and RESET outputs ensure that the µP
powers up in a known state, and prevents
code-execution errors during power-down or
brownout conditions.
The RESET output is active low, and typically
sinks 3.2mA at 0.1V saturation voltage in its
active state. When deasserted, RESET sources
1.6mA at typically VOUT – 0.5V. RESET output
is open drain, active high, and typically sinks
3.2mA with a saturation voltage of 0.1V. When
no backup battery is used, RESET output is
guaranteed to be valid down to VCC = 1V, and
an external 10kΩ pull-down resistor on RESET
ensures that RESET will be valid with VCC
down to GND as shown on Figure 18. As VCC
goes below 1V, the gate drive to the RESET
output switch reduces accordingly, increasing
the RDS(ON) and the saturation voltage. The
10kΩ pull-down resistor ensures the parallel
combination of switch plus resistor is around

10kΩ and the output saturation voltage is below
0.4V while sinking 40µA. When using a 10kΩ
external pull-down resistor, the high state for
the RESET output with Vcc = 4.75V is 4.5V
typical. For battery voltages less than or equal
to 2V connected to VBATT, RESET and RESET
remains valid for VCC from 0V to 5.5V.
RESET and RESET are asserted when VCC falls
below the reset threshold and remain asserted
for the Reset Timeout Period (200ms nominal)
after VCC rises above the reset threshold voltage
on power-up. Refer to F igur e 19. The devices'
battery-switchover comparator does not affect
reset assertion. However, both reset outputs are
asserted in battery-backup mode since VCC must
be below the reset threshold to enter this mode.

Watchdog Function
The watchdog monitors µP activity via the
Watchdog Input (WDI). If the µP becomes
inactive, RESET and RESET are asserted.
To use the watchdog function, connect WDI to
a bus line or µP I/O line. If WDI remains high
or low for longer than the watchdog timeout period (1.6s nominal). WDO, RESET , and RESET
are asserted, indicating a software fault or idle
conditions. Refer to RESET and RESET
Outputs and Watchdog Output sections.
Watchdog Input
A change of logic state (minimum 100ns
duration) at WDI during the watchdog period
will reset the watchdog timer. The watchdog
default timout is 1.6sec.
To disable the watchdog function, leave WDI
floating. An internal resistor network (100kΩ
equivalent impedance at WDI) biases WDI to
approximately 1.6V. Internal comparators
detect this level and disable the watchdog timer.
When Vcc is below the reset threshold, the
watchdog function is disabled and WDI is
disconnected from its internal resistor network,
thus becoming high impedance.

RESET and RESET are asserted for the reset

to logic low and remains low until the next
transition at WDI. Refer to Figure 20. If WDI
is held high or low indefinitely, RESET and
RESET will generate 200ms pulses every 1.6s.
WDO has a 2 x TTL output characteristic.

be found in Figure 21 and Table 1.
Chip-Enable Signal Gating
The SP691A/693A/800L/800M devices
provide internal gating of chip-enable (CE)
signals, to prevent erroneous data from
corrupting the CMOS RAM in the event of a
power failure. During normal operation, the CE
gate is enabled and passes all CE transitions.
When reset is asserted, this path becomes
disabled, preventing erroneous data from
corrupting the CMOS RAM. The SP691A/693A/800L/800M devices use a series transmission
gate from CEIN to CE
. Refer to Figure 16.

OUT
Chip-Enable Input
CEIN is in high impedance (disabled mode)
while RESET and/or RESET are asserted.
During a power-down sequence where VCC falls
below the reset threshold, CEIN assumes a high
impedance state when the voltage at CEIN goes
high or 12µs after RESET is asserted,
whichever occurs first. Refer to Figure 19.
During a power-up sequence, CEIN remains high
impedance until RESET is deasserted.
In the high-impedance mode, the leakage
currents into CEIN are <1µA over temperature.
In the low-impedance mode, the impedance of
CEIN appears as a 65Ω resistor in series with
the load at CE

The propagation delay through the CE

LOWLINE Output
LOWLINE is the buffered output pin of the
reset threshold comparator. Refer to F igur e 16.
LOWLINE typically sinks 3.2mA at 0.1V. For
normal operation where VCC is above the reset
threshold, LOWLINE is pulled to V
OUT
.
Power-Fail Comparator
The power-fail comparator is an uncommitted
comparator that has no effect on the other
functions of the SP691A/693A/800L/800M
devices. Common uses include low battery
detection, as found in Figure 23, and early
power-fail detection when the unregulated power
is easily accessible as shown in Figur e 17.
Power-Fail Input
The Power-Fail Input (PFI) has a guaranteed
input leakage of +25nA max over temperature.
The typical comparator delay is 25µs from VIL
to VOL (power failing), and 60µs from VIH to
VOH (power being restored). Connect this
input to ground if PFI is not used.
Power-Fail Output
The Power-Fail Output (PFO) goes low when
PFI goes below 1.25V. It sinks 3.2mA with a
saturation voltage of 0.1V. With PFI above
1.25V, PFO is actively pulled to VOUT. PFO
can be used to generate an NMI for the µP, as
shown in Figure 17.
Battery-Backup Mode
The SP691A/693A/800L/800M requires two
conditions to switch to battery-backup mode:
1) VCC must be below the reset threshold; 2)
VCC must be below VBATT. Table 2 lists the
status of the inputs and outputs in batterybackup mode.
Battery-On Output
The Battery On Output (BATT ON) indicates
the status of the internal VCC/battery-switchover
comparator, which controls the internal VCC and
VBA TT switches. For VCC greater that VBATT
(ignoring the small hysteresis effect), BA TT ON
is a logic low. For VCC less than V
ON is a logic high. Use BATT ON to indicate

battery-switchover status or to supply base drive
to an external pass transistor for higher-current
applications. Refer to Figure 17.

reset threshold and less than V

diode are much smaller. Refer to Figure 24.
Accordingly, the on-resistances of the diode and

Continuous current should be limited to 25mA
and peak currents (only during power-up)
limited to 250mA. The reverse leakage of this
input is less than 1µA over temperature and
supply voltage.
Output Supply Voltage
The Output Supply Voltage (VOUT) supplies all
the current to the external system and internal
circuitry. All open-circuit outputs will assume
the VOUT voltage in their high states rather than
the VCC voltage. At the maximum source
current of 250mA, VOUT will typically be
150mV below VCC. VOUT should be decoupled
with 0.1µF capacitor.

Using High Capacity Capacitor with the
SP691A/693A/800L/800M Series
VBATT has the same operating voltage range as
VCC, and the battery-switchover threshold
voltages are typically +30mV centered at VBATT,
allowing use of a capacitor and a simple
charging circuit as a backup source. Refer to
Figure 25.
If VCC is above the reset threshold and VBATT
is 0.5V above VCC, current flows to VOUT and
VCC from VBATT until the voltage at VBATT is
less than 0.5V above VCC.
Leakage current through the capacitor charging
diode and SP691A/693A/800L/800M internal
power diode eventually discharges the capacitor
to VCC. Also, if VCC and VBA TT start from 0.5V
above the reset threshold and power is lost at
VCC, the capacitor on VBA TT dischar ges through
VCC until VBA TT reaches the reset threshold; the
SP691A/693A/800L/800M devices then switch
to battery-backup mode.
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
The SP691A/693A/800L/800M devices are not
short-circuit protected. Shorting VOUT to
ground, other than power-up transients such as
charging a decoupling capacitor, may destroy
the device. All open-circuit outputs swing
between VOUT and GND rather than VCC and
GND. If long leads connect to the chip inputs,
ensure that these lines are free from ringing and
other conditions that would forward bias the

As described in the previous section, if VBATT

current flows continuously from VBATT to
VCC via the VBATT-to-VOUT diode and the
VOUT-to-VCC switch until the circuit is broken.

Adding Hysteresis to the Power-Fail

Hysteresis adds noise margin to the power-fail
comparator and prevents repeated triggering of
PFO when VIN is near the power-fail comparator
trip point. Figur e 27 shows how to add hysteresis
to the power-fail comparator . Select the ratio of
R1 and R2 such that PFI sees 1.25V when V

down the PFO pin. Capacitor C1 adds additional
noise rejection.
Monitoring a Negative Voltage
The power-fail comparator can be used to monitor
a negative supply voltage using the circuit shown
in Figur e 28. When the negative supply is valid,
PFO is low. When the negative supply voltage
drops, PFO goes high. This circuit's accuracy is
affected by the PFI threshold tolerance, the VCC
voltage, and resistors R1 and R2.

Backup-Battery Replacement
The backup battery may be disconnected while
VCC is above the reset threshold. No precautions
are necessary to avoid spurious reset pulses.

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 .

supervisors are relatively immune to shortduration negative-going VCC transients. It is
usually undesirable to reset the µP when VCC
experiences only small glitches.
When OSC
disconnects from its internal 10µA pull-up and
is internally connected to a +100nA current
source. When a capacitor is connected from
OSCIN to ground (to select an alternative
watchdog timeout period), the current source
charges and discharges the timing capacitor to
create the oscillator that controls the reset and
is connected to ground, OSC

Refer to Figur e 29 for a graph of the maximum
transient duration vs. the reset-comparator overdrive for which reset pulses are not generated.
The graph was produced using negative-going
pulses, starting at 5V 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.
A way to help the watchdog timer keep a closer
watch on software execution involves setting
and resetting the watchdog input at different
points in the program, rather than "pulsing" the
watchdog input high-low-high or low-high-low.
This technique avoids a "stuck" loop where the
watchdog timer continues to be reset within the
loop, keeping the watchdog from timing out.
Figure 30 shows an example flow diagram
where the I/O driving the watchdog input is set
high at the beginning of the program, set low at
the beginning of every subrouting or loop, then
set high again when the program returns to the
beginning. If the program should "hang" in any
subroutine, the I/O is continually set low and
the watchdog timer is allowed to time out,
causing a reset or interrupt to be issued.
Maximum VCC Fall Time
The VCC fall time is limited by the propagation
delay of the battery switchover comparator and
should not exceed 0.03V/µs. A standard rule of
thumb for filter capacitance on most regulators
is on the order of 100µF per amp of current.
When the power supply is shut off or the main
battery is disconnected, the associated initial
VCC fall rate is just the inverse of 1A/100µF =
0.01V/µs. The VCC fall rate decreases with time
as VCC falls exponentially, which more than
satisfies the maximum fall-time requirement.
