Figure 10 Watchdog Output “WO”
The watchdog output “WO” is an open collector output with an integrated pull-up resistor. In case a lower-
ohmic “WO” signal is desired, an external pull-up resistor to the output “Q” can be connected. Since the
maximum “WO” sink current is limited, the optional external resistor RWO,ext needs to be sized to comply with
the watchdog output sink current (see Item 8.2.15 and Item 8.2.16).
Watchdog Input “WI”
The watchdog is triggered by a positive edge at the watchdog input “WI”. The signal is filtered by a band-pass
filter and therefore its amplitude and slope have to comply with the specification Item 8.2.10 to Item 8.2.14.
For details on the test pulse applied, see Figure 11.
