CPU Supervisor with 8Kbit SPI EEPROM
DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
• Selectable time out watchdog timer
• Low V detection and reset assertion
This device combines four popular functions, Power-on
Reset Control, Watchdog Timer, Supply Voltage Super-
vision, and Block Lock Serial EEPROM Memory in one
package. This combination lowers system cost, reduces
board space requirements, and increases reliability.
CC
—Five standard reset threshold voltages
—Re-program low V reset threshold voltage
CC
using special programming sequence.
—Reset signal valid to V = 1V
CC
Applying power to the device activates the power on
reset circuit which holds RESET active for a period of
time. This allows the power supply and oscillator to
stabilize before the processor can execute code.
• Long battery life with low power consumption
—<50µA max standby current, watchdog on
—<1µA max standby current, watchdog off
—<400µA max active current during read
• 1.8V to 3.6V, 2.7V to 5.5V and 4.5V to 5.5V power
supply versions
• 8Kbits of EEPROM—1m write cycle endurance
• Save critical data with Block Lock™ memory
—Block lock first or last page, any 1/4 or lower 1/2
of EEPROM array
• Built-in inadvertent write protection
—Write enable latch
—Write protect pin
• 3.3MHz clock rate
• Minimize programming time
—16 byte page write mode
The Watchdog Timer provides an independent protection
mechanism for microcontrollers. When the microcontroller
fails to restart a timer within a selectable time out interval,
the device activates the RESET signal. The user selects
the interval from three preset values. Once selected, the
interval does not change, even after cycling the power.
The device’s low V
detection circuitry protects the
CC
user’s system from low voltage conditions, resetting
the system when V falls below the minimum V
CC
CC
trip point. RESET is asserted until V
returns to the
CC
proper operating level and stabilizes. Five industry
standard V thresholds are available, however, Xicor’s
TRIP
—Self-timed write cycle
—5ms write cycle time (typical)
• SPI modes (0,0 & 1,1)
unique circuits allow the threshold to be reprogrammed
to meet custom requirements or to fine-tune the thresh-
old for applications requiring higher precision.
• Available packages
—8-lead TSSOP, 8-lead SOIC
