FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
• 200ms power-on reset delay
This device combines three popular functions, Power-
on Reset, Watchdog Timer, and Supply Voltage
Supervision in one package. This combination lowers
system cost, reduces board space requirements, and
increases reliability.
• Low V detection and reset assertion
CC
—Five standard reset threshold voltages
—Adjust low V reset threshold voltage using
CC
special programming sequence
—Reset signal valid to V = 1V
• Selectable nonvolatile watchdog timer
—0.2, 0.6, 1.4 seconds
CC
The watchdog timer provides an independent protec-
tion mechanism for microcontrollers. During a system
failure, the device will respond with a RESET signal
after a selectable time out interval. The user selects the
interval from three preset values. Once selected, the
interval does not change, even after cycling the power.
—Off selection
—Select settings through software
• Long battery life with low power consumption
—<50µA max standby current, watchdog on
—<1µA max standby current, watchdog off
• 2.7V to 5.5V operation
The user’s system is protected from low voltage condi-
tions by the device’s low V detection circuitry. When

is reset. RESET is asserted until V returns to proper
operating levels and stabilizes. Five industry standard

thresholds are available, however, Intersil’s

unique circuits allow the threshold to be reprogrammed
to meet custom requirements or to fine-tune the thresh-
old for applications requiring higher precision.

The device utilizes Intersil’s proprietary Direct Write
cell for the watchdog timer control bits and the V

• Pb-free plus anneal available (RoHS compliant)
storage element, providing a minimum endurance of
100,000 write cycles and a minimum data retention of
100 years.
