All the LTC695 Features Plus Conditional Battery
Backup and External Reset Control
The LTC1235 provides complete power supply monitoring
and battery control functions for microprocessor reset,
battery backup, RAM write protection, power failure warn-
ing and watchdog timing. The LTC1235 has all the LTC695
features plus conditional battery backup and external reset
control. When an out-of-tolerance power supply condition
occurs, the reset outputs are forced to active states and the
Chip Enable output write-protects external memory. The
RESET output is guaranteed to remain logic low with V
CC
as
low as 1V. External reset control is provided by a debounced
push-button reset input.
The LTC1235 powers the active CMOS RAMs with a charge
pumped NMOS power switch to achieve low dropout and
low supply current. When primary power is lost, auxiliary
power, connected to the battery input pin, provides backup
power to the RAMs. The LTC1235 can be programmed by
a
µP
signal to either back up the RAMs or not. This extends
the battery life in situations where RAM data need not
always be saved when power goes down.
For an early warning of impending power failure, the
LTC1235 provides an internal comparator with a user-
defined threshold. An internal watchdog timer is also avail-
able, which forces the reset pins to active states when the
watchdog input is not toggled prior to the time-out period.

The
q
denotes specifications which apply over the operating temperature
range.
Note 1:
Absolute maximum ratings are those values beyond which the life
of device may be impaired.
Note 2:
All voltage values are with respect to GND.
Note 3:
For military temperature range parts, consult the factory.
Note 4:
The input pins of PB RST, BACKUP and CE IN, have weak internal
pullups which pull to the supply when the input pins are floating.
Note 5:
The LTC1235 can be programmed either to provide or not to
provide battery backup power to the V
OUT
pin during power failure. The
power down condition of V
OUT
is selected by the logic level of the BACKUP
pin which is latched internally when V
CC
falls through the reset voltage
threshold. If the latched logic level of the BACKUP pin is high, V
OUT
will be
in Battery Backup Mode and will be switched to V
BATT
when V
CC
falls
below V
BATT
. If the latched logic level of the BACKUP pin is low, V
OUT
will
be in Battery Saving Mode when V
CC
falls below V
BATT
.
Note 6:
The output pins of BATT ON, LOW LINE, PFO, WDO, RESET and
RESET have weak internal pullups of typically 3µA. However, external
pullup resistors may be used when higher speed is required.
Note 7:
The push-button reset input requires an active low signal.
Internally, this input signal is debounced and timed for a minimum of
40ms. When this condition is satisfied, the reset outputs go to the active
states. The reset outputs will remain in active states for a minimum of
140ms from the moment the push-button reset input is released from
logic low level.
