Replaces X25323/X25325
X5323/X5325
CPU Supervisor with 32Kb SPI EEPROM
FEATURES
• Selectable watchdog timer
• Low V detection and reset assertion
DESCRIPTION
These devices combine four popular functions, Power-on
Reset Control, Watchdog Timer, Supply Voltage
Supervision, and Block Lock Protect 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
• Determine watchdog or low voltage reset with a
volatile flag bit
Applying power to the device activates the power on
reset circuit which holds RESET/RESET active for a
period of time. This allows the power supply and oscilla-
tor 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
• 32Kbits of EEPROM
• Built-in inadvertent write protection
—Power-up/power-down protection circuitry
—Protect 0, 1/4, 1/2 or all of EEPROM array with
Block Lock™ protection
—In circuit programmable ROM mode
• 2MHz SPI interface modes (0,0 & 1,1)
• Minimize EEPROM programming time
—32-byte page write mode
The Watchdog Timer provides an independent protec-
tion mechanism for microcontrollers. When the micro-
controller fails to restart a timer within a selectable
time out interval, the device activates the RESET/
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 trip

CC
—Self-timed write cycle
point. RESET/RESET is asserted until V
returns to

proper operating level and stabilizes. Five industry stan-
dard V thresholds are available, however, Xicor’s
TRIP
unique circuits allow the threshold to be reprogrammed
to meet custom requirements or to fine-tune the thresh-
old for applications requiring higher precision.
