DESCRIPTION
The
SP791
is a microprocessor (µP) supervisory circuit that integrates a myriad of compo-
nents involved in discrete solutions to monitor power-supply and battery-control functions in
µP
and digital systems. The
SP791
offers complete
µP
monitoring and watchdog functions.
The
SP791
is ideal for a low-cost battery management solution and is well suited for portable,
battery-powered applications with its supply current of 40µA. The 6ns chip-enable propaga-
tion delay, the 25mA current output in battery-backup mode, and the 250mA current output
in standard operation also makes the
SP791
suitable for larger scale, high-performance
equipment.
