Voltage Monitor for Power-Fail
The LTC690 family powers the active CMOS RAMs with a
charge pumped NMOS power switch to achieve low drop-
out and low supply current. When primary power is lost,
auxiliary power, connected to the battery input pin, powers
the RAMs in standby through an efficient PMOS switch.

APPLICATIONS
Foranearlywarningofimpendingpowerfailure,theLTC690
family provides an internal comparator with a user-defined
threshold.Aninternalwatchdogtimerisalsoavailable,which
forces the reset pins to active states when the watchdog
input is not toggled prior to a preset timeout period.
