Description
The processor companion includes commonly needed
CPU support functions. Supervisory functions
include a reset output signal controlled by either a
low VDD condition or a watchdog timeout. /RST
goes active when VDD drops below a programmable
threshold and remains active for 100 ms after VDD
rises above the trip point. A programmable watchdog
timer runs from 100 ms to 3 seconds. The watchdog
timer is optional, but if enabled it will assert the reset
signal for 100 ms if not restarted by the host before
the timeout. A flag-bit indicates the source of the
reset.
The FM3127x is a family of integrated devices that
includes the most commonly needed functions for
processor-based systems. Major features include
nonvolatile memory available in various sizes, real-
time clock, low-VDD reset, watchdog timer,
nonvolatile event counter, lockable 64-bit serial
number area, and general purpose comparator that
can be used for an early power-fail (NMI) interrupt or
other purpose. The family operates from 4.0 to 5.5V.
Each FM3127x provides nonvolatile RAM available
in sizes including 64Kb and 256Kb versions. Fast
write speed and unlimited endurance allow the
memory to serve as extra RAM or conventional
nonvolatile storage. This memory is truly nonvolatile
rather than battery backed.
The real-time clock (RTC) provides time and date
information in BCD format. It can be permanently
powered from external backup voltage source, either
a battery or a capacitor. The timekeeper uses a
common external 32.768 kHz crystal and provides a
calibration mode that allows software adjustment of
timekeeping accuracy.
This product conforms to specifications per the terms of the Ramtron standard warranty. The product has completed Ramtron’s
internal qualification testing and has reached production status.
