Power Good

The Power Good PG pin informs e.g. the microcontroller in case the output voltage has

fallen below the lower threshold

can be set by the user with an external capacitor at pin D according to the requirements

of the application.

The Power Good circuitry supervises the output voltage. In case

to 1 V. A LOW signal at the Power Good pin informs that the battery was lost and

memory is no longer valid.

The feature should be used in combination with a microcontroller with internal reset.
