10kΩ and the output saturation voltage is below
0.4V while sinking 40µA. When using a 10kΩ
external pull-down resistor, the high state for
the RESET output with Vcc = 4.75V is 4.5V
typical. For battery voltages less than or equal
to 2V connected to VBATT, RESET and RESET
remains valid for VCC from 0V to 5.5V.
RESET and RESET are asserted when V
CC
falls
below the reset threshold and remain asserted
for the Reset Timeout Period (200ms nominal)
after V
CC
rises above the reset threshold voltage
on power-up. Refer to Figure 19. The devices'
battery-switchover comparator does not affect
reset assertion. However, both reset outputs are
asserted in battery-backup mode since V
CC
must
be below the reset threshold to enter this mode.

RESET and RESET Outputs
The SP691A/693A/800L/800M devices'
RESET and RESET outputs ensure that the µP
powers up in a known state, and prevents
code-execution errors during power-down or
brownout conditions.
The RESET output is active low, and typically
sinks 3.2mA at 0.1V saturation voltage in its
active state. When deasserted, RESET sources
1.6mA at typically VOUT – 0.5V. RESET output
is open drain, active high, and typically sinks
3.2mA with a saturation voltage of 0.1V. When
no backup battery is used, RESET output is
guaranteed to be valid down to VCC = 1V, and
an external 10kΩ pull-down resistor on RESET
ensures that RESET will be valid with VCC
down to GND as shown on Figure 18. As VCC
goes below 1V, the gate drive to the RESET
output switch reduces accordingly, increasing
the R
DS
(ON) and the saturation voltage. The
10kΩ pull-down resistor ensures the parallel
combination of switch plus resistor is around
