µP Power Supply Supervisor With Battery Backup Switch
General Description
• Short circuit protection and thermal limiting
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:
• Small 8-pin SO and 8-pin PDIP packages
• No external components
• Specified over full temperature range
Applications
• Embedded control systems
• Portable/Battery operated systems
• Intelligent instruments
• Wireless instruments
• Wireless communication systems
• PDAs and hand-held equipments
• µP / µC power supply monitoring
• Safety system
• 1.6 second watchdog timer to keep microprocessor
responsive
Typical Operating Circuit
• 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.
