PRELMNARY
the V
CC
supply is fully functional. In the event of a V
CC
failure, the battery voltage is applied to the
V
OUT
pin and the external transistor is turned off. In this “backup condition,” the battery only needs
to supply enough voltage and current to keep SRAM devices from losing their data–there is no
communication at this time.

(X40421) This open drain pin is an active LOW output which goes LOW whenever
V

falls below V

grammed time period (t
PURST
) on power up. It will also stay active until manual reset is released
and for t

thereafter.
RESET Output.
(X40420) This pin is an active HIGH open drain output which goes HIGH when-
ever V
CC
falls below V
TRIP1
voltage or if manual reset is asserted. This output stays active for the
programmed time period (t
PURST
) on power up. It will also stay active until manual reset is released
and for t
PURST
thereafter.
Ground
Serial Data.
SDA is a bidirectional pin used to transfer data into and out of the device. It has an
open drain output and may be wire ORed with other open drain or open collector outputs. This pin
requires a pull up resistor and the input buffer is always active (not gated).
Watchdog Input.
A HIGH to LOW transition on the SDA (while SCL is toggled from HIGH to LOW
and followed by a stop condition) restarts the Watchdog timer. The absence of this transition within
the watchdog time out period results in WDO going active.
Serial Clock.
The Serial Clock controls the serial bus timing for data input and output.
Write Protect.
WP HIGH prevents writes to any location in the device (including all the registers).
It has an internal pull down resistor. (>10M

Battery Supply Voltage.
This input provides a backup supply in the event of a failure of the
primary V
CC
voltage. The V
BATT
voltage typically provides the supply voltage necessary to
maintain the contents of SRAM and also powers the internal logic to “stay awake.” If the battery is
not used, connect V
BATT
to ground.

There is hysteresis around V

± 0.03V point to avoid oscillation at or near the
switchover voltage. A capacitance of 0.1μF must be connected to V

to ensure stability.
Battery On.
This CMOS output goes HIGH when the V
OUT
switches to V
BATT
and goes LOW
when V
OUT
switches to V
CC
. It is used to drive an external PNP pass transistor when V
CC
= V

and current requirements are greater than 50mA.
