EEPROM memory (16K) with hardware memory write
protection, a system power supervisor with brown out
protection and a watchdog timer are integrated
together in low power CMOS technology. Memory
interface is via an I²C bus.
The 1.6-second watchdog circuit returns a system to a
known good state if a software or hardware glitch
halts or “hangs” the system. The CAT1163 watchdog
monitors the WDI input pin.
The power supply monitor and reset circuit protects
memory and system controllers during power up/down
and against brownout conditions. Five reset threshold
voltages support 5V, 3.3V and 3V systems. If power
supply voltages are out of tolerance reset signals
become active, preventing the system microcontroller,
ASIC or peripherals from operating. Reset signals
become inactive typically 200ms after the supply
voltage exceeds the reset threshold level. With both
active high and low reset signals, interface to
microcontrollers and other ICs is simple. In addition, a
reset pin can be used as debounced input for push-
button manual reset capability.
The CAT1163 memory features a 16-byte page. In
addition, hardware data protection is provided by a
write protect pin WP and by a V_CC sense circuit that
prevents writes to memory whenever V_CC falls below
the reset threshold or until V_CC reaches the reset
threshold during power up.
Available packages include an 8-pin DIP and a
surface mount, 8-pin SO package.
