Application Information
Watchdog Input
Table 1. Pin Connections in Battery Backup Mode
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 tWD + tRS),
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.

During the backup power mode, the internal circuitry of the
supervisory circuit draws power from the battery supply. While
CC is still alive, the comparator circuits remain alive and the cur-
rent drawn by the device is typically 35μA. When VCC drops more
than 1.1V below VBATT, 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.
Backup-Battery Switchover
A power loss can be made less severe if the system RAM contents
are preserved. This is achieved in the IMP690/692/802/805 by
switching from the failed VCC to an alternate power source con-

Battery voltage selection is important to insure that the battery
does not discharge through the parasitic device diode D1 (see

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 VCC remains above the reset threshold voltage VRT.
In the IMP devices, a floating VBATT pin will not cause a power-
supply switchover as can occur in some other supervisory
circuits. If VBATT is not used, the pin should be grounded.
