Power Supply Supervisor
With Battery Backup Switch
General Description
The ASM690A / ASM692A / ASM802L / ASM802M /
ASM805L offers complete single chip solutions for power
supply monitoring and control battery functions in
microprocessor systems. Each device implements four
functions: Reset control, watchdog monitoring, battery-
backup switching and powerfailure monitoring. In addition
to microprocessor reset under power-up and power-down
conditions, these devices provide battery-backup
switching to maintain control in power loss and brown-out
situations. Additional monitoring capabilities can provide
an early warning of unregulated power supply loss before
the voltage regulator drops out. The important features of
these four functions are:
1.6 second watchdog timer to keep microprocessor
responsive
4.40V or 4.65V VCC threshold for microprocessor
reset at power-up and power-down
SPDT (Single-pole, Double-throw) PMOS switch
connects backup power to RAM if VCC fails
1.25V threshold detector for power loss or general
purpose voltage monitoring
These features are pin-compatible with the industry
standard power-supply supervisors. Short-circuit and
thermal protection have also been added. The ASM690A
/ ASM802L / ASM805L generate a reset pulse when the
supply voltage drops below 4.65V and the ASM692A /
ASM802M generate a reset below 4.40V. The ASM802L /
ASM802M have power-fail accuracy to ±2%. The
ASM805L is the same as the ASM690A except that
RESET is provided instead of RESET.

Detailed Description
It is important to initialize a microprocessor to a known
state in response to specific events that could create
code execution errors and “lock-up”. The reset output of
these supervisory circuits send a reset pulse to the
microprocessor in response to power-up, power-
down/power-loss or a watchdog time-out.
RESET/RESET Timing
Power-up reset occurs when a rising V
CC
reaches the
reset threshold, V
RT
, forcing a reset condition in which
the reset output is asserted in the appropriate logic state
for the duration of t
RS
. The reset pulse width, t
RS
, is
typically around 200ms and is LOW for the ASM690A,
ASM692A, ASM802 and HIGH for the ASM805L.
Figure
1
shows the reset pin timing.
Power-loss or “brown-out” reset occurs when V
CC
dips
below the reset threshold resulting in a reset assertion for
the duration of t
RS
. The reset signal remains asserted as
long as V
CC
is between V
RT
and 1.1V, the lowest V
CC
for
which these devices can provide a guaranteed logic-low
output. To ensure logic inputs connected to the ASM690A
/ ASM692A/ASM802 RESET pin are in a known state
when V
CC
is under 1.1V, a 100kΩ pull-down resistor at
RESET is needed: the logic-high ASM805L will need a
pull-up resistor to V
CC
.
Watchdog Timer
A Watchdog time-out reset occurs when a logic “1” or
logic “0” is continuously applied to the WDI pin for more
than 1.6 seconds. After the duration of the reset interval,
the watchdog timer starts a new 1.6 second timing
interval; the microprocessor must service the watchdog
input by changing states or by floating the WDI pin before
this interval is finished. If the WDI pin is held either HIGH
or LOW, a reset pulse will be triggered every 1.8 seconds
(the 1.6 second timing interval plus the reset pulse width
tRS).
Application Information
Microprocessor Interface
The ASM690 has logic-LOW RESET output while the
ASM805 has an inverted logic-HIGH RESET output.
Microprocessors with bidirectional reset pins can pose a
problem when the supervisory circuit and the
microprocessor output pins attempt to go to opposite
logic states. The problem can be resolved by placing a
4.7kΩ resistor between the RESET output and the
microprocessor reset pin. This is shown in
Figure 2.
Since the series resistor limits drive capabilities, the reset
signal to other devices should be buffered.

Watchdog Input
As discussed in the Reset section, the Watchdog input is
used to monitor microprocessor activity. It can be used to
insure that the microprocessor is in a continually
responsive state by requiring that the WDI pin be toggled
every second. If the WDI pin is not toggled within the 1.6
second window (minimum t
WD
+ t
RS
), a reset pulse will be
asserted to return the microprocessor to the initial start-
up state. Pulses as short as 50ns can be applied to the
WDI pin. If this feature is not used, the WDI pin should be
open circuited or the logic placed into a high-impedance
state to allow the pin to float.
Backup-Battery Switchover
A power loss can be made less severe if the system RAM
contents are preserved. This is achieved in the
ASM690/692/802/805 by switching from the failed V
CC
to
an alternate power source connected at V
BATT
when V
CC
is less than the reset threshold voltage (V
CC
< V
RT
), and
V
CC
is less than V
BATT
. The V
OUT
pin is normally
connected to V
CC
through a 2Ω PMOS switch but a
brown-out or loss of V
CC
will cause a switchover to V
BATT
by means of a 20Ω PMOS switch. Although both
conditions (V
CC
< V
RT
and V
CC
< V
BATT
) must occur for
the switchover to V
BATT
to occur, V
OUT
will be switched
back to V
CC
when V
CC
exceeds V
RT
irrespective of the
voltage at V
BATT
. It should be noted that an internal
device diode (D1 in
Figure 3)
will be forward biased if
V
BATT
exceeds V
CC
by more than a diode drop when V
CC
is switched to V
OUT
. Because of this it is recommended
that V
BATT
be no greater than V
RT
+0.6V.

During the backup power mode, the internal circuitry of
the supervisory circuit draws power from the battery
supply. While V
CC
is still alive, the comparator circuits
remain alive and the current drawn by the device is
typically 35μA. When V
CC
drops more than 1.1V below
V
BATT
, the internal switchover comparator, the PFI
comparator and WDI comparator will shut off, reducing
the quiescent current drawn by the IC to less than 1μA.

battery does not discharge through the parasitic device

Although most batteries that meet the requirements of
Table 2
are acceptable, lithium batteries are very
effective backup source due to their high-energy density
and very low self-discharge rates.
Battery replacement while Powered
Batteries can be replaced even when the device is in a
powered state as long as V
CC
remains above the reset
threshold voltage V
RT
. In the ASM devices, a floating
V
BATT
pin will not cause a powersupply switchover as can
occur in some other supervisory circuits. If V
BATT
is not
used, the pin should be grounded.
Backup Power Sources - SuperCap™
Capacitor storage, with very high values of capacitance,
can be used as a back-up power source instead of
batteries. SuperCap
™
are capacitors with capacities in
the fractional farad range. A 0.1 farad SuperCap™ would
provide a useful backup power source. Like the battery
supply, it is important that the capacitor voltage remain
below the maximum voltages shown in
Table 2.
Although
the circuit of
Figure 4
shows the most simple way to
connect the SuperCap™, this circuit cannot insure that an
over voltage condition will not occur since the capacitor
will ultimately charge up to V
CC
. To insure that an over
voltage condition does not occur, the circuit of
Figure 5
is
preferred. In this circuit configuration, the diode-resistor
pair clamps the capacitor voltage at one diode drop below
V
CC
. V
CC
itself should be regulated within ±5% of 5V for
the ASM692A/802M or within ±10% of 5V for the
ASM690A/802L/805L to insure that the storage
capacitordoes not achieve an over voltage state.

Operation without a Backup Power Source
When operating without a back-up power source, the
V
BATT
pin should be connected to GND and V
OUT
should
be connected to V
CC
, since power source switchover will
not occur. Connecting V
OUT
to V
CC
eliminates the voltage
drop due to the ON-resistance of the PMOS switch.
