Replacing the Backup Battery

When V

CC

is above V

TH

, the backup power source can

be removed without danger of triggering a reset pulse.
The device does not enter battery-backup mode when
V

CC

stays above the reset threshold voltage.

Negative-Going V

CC

Transients

The MAX16016/MAX16020/MAX16021 are relatively
immune to short duration, negative going V

CC

tran-

sients. Resetting the µP when V

CC

experiences only

small glitches is usually not desirable. A 0.1µF bypass
capacitor mounted close to V

CC

provides additional

transient immunity.
