5 10 PFO
Output of the Power-Fail Comparator. It goes low when PFI is less than 1.3V. The 
comparator is turned off and PFO goes low when V
CC
 is below V
BATT
.
— 13 CE IN CE Gating Circuit Input. Connect to GND or V
OUT
 if not used.
— 12 CE OUT
CE OUT goes low only when CE IN is low and V
CC
 is above the reset threshold (4.65V 
for MAX691 and MAX695, 4.4V for MAX693). See Figure 6.
— 5 BATT ON
BATT ON goes high when V
OUT
 is internally switched to the V
BATT
 input. It goes low 
when V
OUT
 is internally switched to V
CC
. The output typically sinks 25mA and can 
directly drive the base of an external PNP transistor to increase the output current 
above the 50mA rating of V
OUT
. 
— 6 LOW LINE
LOW LINE goes low when V
CC
 falls below the reset threshold. It returns high as soon 
as V
CC
 rises above the reset threshold. See Figure 6, Reset Timing.
— 16 RESET Active-High Output. It is the inverse of RESET.
— 8 OSC SEL
When OSC SEL is unconnected or driven high, the internal oscillator sets the reset time 
delay and watchdog timeout period. When OSC SEL is low, the external oscillator input, 
OSC IN, is enabled. OSC SEL has a 3µA internal pullup. See Table 1.
— 7 OSC IN
When OSC SEL is low, OSC IN can be driven by an external clock to adjust both the 
reset delay and the watchdog timeout period. The timing can also be adjusted by 
connecting and external oscillator to this pin. See Figure 8. When OSC SEL is high or 
oating, OSC IN selects between fast and slow Watchdog timeout periods. 
— 14 WDO
The Watchdog Output (WDO). WDO goes low if WDI remains either high or low for 
longer than the watchdog timeout period. WDO is set high by the next transition at WDI. 
If WDI is unconnected or at mid-supply, WDO remains high. WDO also goes high when 
LOW LINE goes low.
