EM6151
Low Power Windowed Watchdog with Reset,
Sleep Mode Functions
Description
The EM6151 offers a high level of integration by combining
voltage monitoring and software monitoring using a windowed
watchdog.
A comparator monitors the voltage applied at the VIN input
comparing it with an internal voltage reference VREF. The
power-on reset function is initialized after VIN reaches VREF
and takes the reset output inactive after a delay TPOR
depending on external resistance ROSC. The reset output goes
active low when the VIN voltage is less than VREF. The RES
and EN outputs are guaranteed to be in a correct state for a
supply voltage as low as 1.2 V. The watchdog function
monitors software cycle time and execution.
If software clears the watchdog too quickly (incorrect cycle
time) or too slowly (incorrect execution) it will cause the
system to be reset. For enhanced security, the watchdog
must be serviced within an “open” time window. During the
remaining time, the watchdog time window is “closed” and a
reset will occur should a TCL pulse be received by the
watchdog during this “closed” time window. The ratio of the
open/closed window is either 33%/67% or 67%/33%.
The system ENABLE output prevents critical control functions
being activated until software has successfully cleared the
watchdog three times. Such a security could be used to
prevent motor controls being energized on repeated resets of
a faulty system.
When the microcontroller goes in stand-by mode or stops
working, no signal is received on the TCL input of the
EM6151 (version 55) and it goes into a stand-by mode in
order to save power (CAN-bus sleep detector).
