Linear Technology LTC695ISW Product Overview

The LTC695ISW is a robust, high-performance microprocessor supervisory circuit designed by Linear Technology to ensure reliable operation of microprocessor systems. This integrated circuit (IC) provides a comprehensive suite of features aimed at monitoring and controlling the power supply and system health of microprocessor-based systems.

Key Features

• Power Supply Monitoring: The LTC695ISW offers precise monitoring of the power supply voltage. It generates a reset signal to the microprocessor whenever the supply voltage falls below a predetermined threshold, ensuring the system operates within safe voltage levels.
• Reset Timeout: After the power supply returns to an acceptable level, the reset signal remains active for a preset timeout period, allowing the system to stabilize before resuming operation.
• Watchdog Timer: This feature supervises the microprocessor activity by requiring periodic interaction; if the microprocessor fails to reset the watchdog timer within a specific time frame, the LTC695ISW assumes a system fault and generates a reset signal.
• Battery Backup Switchover: In the event of a power failure, the LTC695ISW automatically switches to a backup battery, ensuring uninterrupted operation and data retention.
• Low Power Consumption: Designed for efficiency, the LTC695ISW consumes minimal power, making it suitable for battery-operated systems.
• Wide Operating Temperature Range: The device operates reliably over a broad temperature range, making it ideal for industrial and automotive applications.
