High Efficiency Linear Power Supply with

Monitoring and Sleep Mode Detection
state for a regulated output voltage as low as 1.2 V.
Features
Can-bus sleep mode detector
The watchdog function monitors software cycle time
and execution. If software clears the watchdog too
quickly (incorrect cycle time) or too slowly (incorrect
execution) it will cause the system to be reset. The
system enable output prevents critical control
functions being activated until software has
successfully cleared the watchdog three times. Such a
security could be used to prevent motor controls
being energized on repeated resets of a faulty system.
If the microcontroller does not work that means no
signal on the TCL input the A6155 goes in a standby
mode (CAN-bus sleep detector).

The A6155 offers a high level of integration by combining
voltage regulation, voltage monitoring and software
monitoring in an 8 lead package. The voltage regulator
has a low dropout voltage (typ. 380 mV at 100 mA) and a
low quiescent current (155 µA). The quiescent current
increases only slightly in dropout prolonging battery life.
Built-in protection includes a positive transient absorber for
up to 60 V (load dump) and the ability to survive an
unregulated input voltage of –20 V (reverse battery). The
input may be connected to ground or a reverse voltage
without reverse current flow from the output to the input. A
comparator monitors the voltage applied at the VIN input
comparing it with an internal 1.275 V reference. The
power-on reset function is initialized after VIN reaches
1.275 V and takes the reset output inactive after TPOR
depending of external resistance. The reset output
goes active low when the VIN voltage is less than 1.275 V.
The RES and EN outputs are guaranteed to be in a correct
