The X25043/45 combines three popular functions,
Watchdog Timer, Voltage Supervision, and E
2
PROM in
a single package. This combination lowers the system
cost and reduces the board space requirements.
The Watchdog Timer provides an independent protec-
tion system for microcontrollers. During a system failure,
the X25043/45 watchdog will respond with a
RESET/
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 cy-
cling the power.
The system is protected from low voltage conditions by
the X25043/45 low V
CC
detection circuits. When V
CC
drops below the minimum V
CC
trip point, the system is
reset. Reset is asserted until V
CC
returns and stabilizes.
The memory portion of the X25043/45 is a CMOS 4096-
bit serial E
2
PROM, internally organized as 512 X 8. The
X25043/45 features a Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI)
and software protocol allowing operation on a simple
three-wire bus.
The X25043/45 utilizes Xicor鈥檚 proprietary Direct Write鈩?/div>
cell, providing a minimum endurance of 100,000 cycles
per byte and a minimum data retention of 100 years.
