generate a reset (Figure 12b). In this configuration,

ed. Reset remains asserted as long as PFO holds MR
low, and for 200ms after PFO pulls MR high when the
monitored supply is above the programmed threshold.
In the event of a brownout or power failure, it may be
necessary to preserve the contents of RAM. With a
backup battery installed at BATT, the devices automati-
cally switch RAM to backup power when V

cell) to have a higher voltage than V

BATT ON is high when OUT is connected to BATT.
Although BATT ON can be used as a logic output to
indicate the battery switchover status, it is most often
used as a gate or base drive for an external pass tran-
sistor for high-current applications (see Driving an
External Switch with BATT ON in the Applications
Information section). When V
