MODES OF OPERATION
The 33892 has four operating modes. They are Sleep,
Normal, Fault, and Fail-Safe. Table 11 summarizes details
contained in succeeding paragraphs.

Fail-

Safe
RST and WAKE must be
transitioned to logic [0]
simultaneously to bring the
device out of the Fail-safe
mode or momentarily tied the
FSI pin to ground.
x = Don’t care.
Sleep Mode
The Default mode of the 33892 is the Sleep mode. This is the
state of the device after first applying battery voltage (VPWR)
prior to any I/O transitions. This is also the state of the device
when the WAKE and RST are both logic [0]. In the Sleep mode,
the output and all unused internal circuitry, such as the internal
5.0 V regulator, are off to minimize current draw. In addition, all
SPI-configurable features of the device are as if set to logic [0].
The device will transition to the Normal or Fail-Safe operating
modes based on the WAKE and RST inputs as defined in
Table 11.
Normal Mode
The 33892 is in Normal mode when:
• VPWR is within the normal voltage range.
• RST terminal is logic [1].
• No fault has occurred.
Fail-Safe Mode
Fail-Safe Mode and Watchdog
If the FSI input is not grounded, the watchdog timeout
detection is active when either the WAKE or RST input terminal
transitions from logic [0] to [1]. The WAKE input is capable of
being pulled up to VPWR with a series of limiting resistance
limiting the internal clamp current according to the specification.
The Watchdog timeout is a multiple of an internal oscillator
and is specified in the Table 8, page 21. As long as the WD bit
(D15) of an incoming SPI message is toggled within the
minimum watchdog timeout period (WDTO), based on the
programmed value of the WDR, the device will operate
normally. If an internal watchdog timeout occurs before the WD
bit, the device will revert to a Fail-Safe mode until the device is
reinitialized.
During the Fail-Safe mode, the outputs will be ON or OFF
depending upon the resistor RFS connected to the FSI pin,
regardless of the state of the various direct inputs and modes
(Table 12).

In the Fail-Safe mode, the SPI register content is retained
except for overcurrent high and low detection levels and timing,
which are reset to their default value (SOCL, SOCH, and
OCTL). Then the watchdog, overvoltage, overtemperature, and
overcurrent circuitry (with default value) are fully operational.
The Fail-Safe mode can be detected by monitoring the
WDTO bit D2 of the WD register. This bit is logic [1] when the
device is in Fail-Safe mode. The device can be brought out of
the Fail-Safe mode by transitioning the WAKE and RST pins
from logic [1] to logic [0] or forcing the FSI pin to logic [0].
Table 11 summarizes the various methods for resetting the
device from the latched Fail-Safe mode.
If the FSI pin is tied to GND, the Watchdog Fail-Safe
operation is disabled.
