X40035

The X40030, X40031, X40034, X40035 combines power-on reset control, watchdog timer, supply voltage supervision, second and third voltage supervision, and manual reset, in one package. This combination lowers system cost, reduces board space requirements, and increases reliability.

Applying voltage to V_CC activates the power on reset circuit which holds RESET/RESET active for a period of time. The X40035 allows the power supply and system oscillator to stabilize before the processor can execute code.

Low V_CC detection circuitry protects the user's system from low voltage conditions, resetting the system when V_CC falls below the minimum VTRIP1 point.RESET/RESET is active until V_CC returns to proper operating level and stabilizes. A second and third voltage monitor circuit tracks the unregulated supply to provide a power fail warning or monitors different power supply voltage. Three common low voltage combinations are available, however, Intersil's unique circuits allows the threshold for either voltage monitor to be reprogrammed to meet specific system level requirements or to fine-tune the threshold for applica-A manual reset input provides debounce circuitry for minimum reset component count.

The Watchdog Timer of X40035 provides an independent protection mechanism for microcontrollers. When the microcontroller fails to restart a timer within a selectable time out interval, the device activates theWDO signal.

The user of X40035 selects the interval from three preset values.Once selected, the interval does not change, even after cycling the power.
