If battery connections are made through long wires, a
10Ω to 100Ω series resistor and a 0.1µF capacitor are
recommended to prevent any overshoot beyond V
CC
due
to the lead inductance (Figure 4).

Memory Protection
The LTC691 and LTC695 include memory protection cir-
cuitry that ensures the integrity of the data in memory by
preventing write operations when V
CC
is at invalid level.
Tw o additional pins, CE IN and CE OUT, control the Chip
Enable or Write inputs of CMOS RAM. When V
CC
is 5V,
CE OUT follows CE IN with a typical propagation delay of
20ns. When V
CC
falls below the reset voltage threshold or
V
BATT
, CE OUT is forced high, independent of CE IN. CE
OUT is an alternative signal to drive the CE, CS, or Write
input of battery-backed up CMOS RAM. CE OUT can also
be used to drive the Store or Write input of an EEPROM,
EAROM or NOVRAM to achieve similar protection. Figure
5 shows the timing diagram of CE IN and CE OUT.
CE IN can be derived from the microprocessor’s address
decoder output. Figure 6 shows a typical nonvolatile CMOS
RAM
application.
Memory
protection can also be achieved with the LTC690
and LTC694 by using RESET as shown in Figure 7.
