DESCRIPTION
The power supply monitor and reset circuit protect memory
and system controllers during power up/down and against
brownout conditions. Five reset threshold voltages support
5V, 3.3V and 3V systems. If power supply voltages are out
of tolerance reset signals become active, preventing the
systemmicrocontroller, ASICorperipheralsfromoperating.
Reset signals become inactive typically 200 ms after the
supply voltage exceeds the reset threshold level. With both
activehighandlowresetsignals,interfacetomicrocontrollers
and other ICs is simple. In addition, the RESET pin or a
separate input, MR, can be used as an input for push-button
manual reset capability.
The CAT1021, CAT1022 and CAT1023 are complete
memory and supervisory solutions for microcontroller-
based systems. A 2kbit serial EEPROM memory and a
system power supervisor with brown-out protection are
integrated together in low power CMOS technology.
Memory interface is via a 400kHz I2C bus.
The CAT1021 and CAT1023 provide a precision VCC
sense circuit and two open drain outputs: one (RESET)
drives high and the other (RESET) drives low whenever
VCCfallsbelowtheresetthresholdvoltage.TheCAT1021
also has a Write Protect input (WP). Write operations
are disabled if WP is connected to a logic high.
Theon-chip, 2kEEPROMmemoryfeaturesa16-bytepage.
In addition, hardware data protection is provided by a VCC
sense circuit that prevents writes to memory whenever VCC
falls below the reset threshold or until VCC reaches the reset
threshold during power up.
The CAT1022 has a RESET output and does not have
a Write Protect input.
Allsupervisorshavea1.6secondwatchdogtimercircuit
that resets a system to a known state if software or a
hardware glitch halts or “hangs” the system. For the
CAT1021 and CAT1022, the watchdog timer monitors
theSDAsignal.TheCAT1023hasaseparatewatchdog
timer interrupt input pin, WDI.
