Power-Fail Output
The Power-Fail Output (PFO) goes low when PFI goes
below 1.25V. It typically sinks 3.2mA with a saturation
voltage of 0.1V. With PFI above 1.25V, PFO is actively
pulled to V
OUT
.
Battery-Backup Mode
Two conditions are required to switch to battery-back-
up mode: 1) V
CC
must be below the reset threshold,
and 2) V
CC
must be below VBATT. Table 2 lists the sta-
tus of the inputs and outputs in battery-backup mode.
Battery On Output
The Battery On (BATT ON) output indicates the status
of the internal V
CC
/battery-switchover comparator,
which controls the internal V
CC
and VBATT switches.
For V
CC
greater than VBATT (ignoring the small hys-
teresis effect), BATT ON typically sinks 3.2mA at 0.1V
saturation voltage. In battery-backup mode, this termi-
nal sources approximately 10µA from V
OUT
. Use BATT
ON to indicate battery-switchover status or to supply
base drive to an external pass transistor for higher-cur-
rent applications (see Typical Operating Circuit).
Input Supply Voltage
The Input Supply Voltage (V
CC
) should be a regulated
5V. V
CC
connects to V
OUT
via a parallel diode and a
large PMOS switch. The switch carries the entire cur-
rent load for currents less than 250mA. The parallel
diode carries any current in excess of 250mA. Both the
switch and the diode have impedances less than 1Ω
each. The maximum continuous current is 250mA, but
power-on transients may reach a maximum of 1A.
