The X4283/85 combines four popular functions,
Power-on Reset Control, Watchdog Timer, Supply Volt-
age Supervision, and Block Lock protect serial
EEPROM memory in one package. This combination
lowers system cost, reduces board space require-
ments, and increases reliability.
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.
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鈥檚 low V
CC
detection circuitry protects the
user鈥檚 system from low voltage conditions, resetting
the system when V
CC
falls below the set minimum V
CC
trip point. RESET/RESET is asserted until V
CC
returns
to proper operating level and stabilizes. Four industry
