Monitoring power supply and battery voltages in microprocessor-based systems is the purview of the SP791 supervisory IC. The device will minimize system damage or data loss in digital circuits that experience under-voltage conditions during power-up, power-down or intermittent power loss.The circuit is suited for battery-powered, portable equipment. A highly efficient VCC to VOUT switch (RON = 0.6 ohms) and a VBATT to VOUT switch (RON = 5 ohms) reduces IR losses in the system. The device consumes very little power (ICC is
