Description
5.1.1 Power On Reset and Reset Output
For an output voltage level of VQ ≥ 1 V, the reset output is held low. When the level of VQ reaches the reset
threshold VRT, the signal at RO remains low for the power-up reset delay time tRD. The reset function and timing
is illustrated in Figure 4. The reset reaction time tRR avoids wrong triggering caused by short “glitches” on the VQ-
line. In case of VQ power down (VQ < VRT for t > tRR) a logic low signal is generated at the pin RO to reset an external
microcontroller.
The TLE7273-2GV50 and TLE7273-2EV50 feature an integrated pull-up resistor on the reset output while the
TLE7273-2GV33 and TLE7273-2GV26 have an open drain output requiring an external pull-up resistor. When
connected to a voltage level of 5 V, a recommended value for this external resistor is ≥ 5.6 kΩ.
But it’s also possible calculating its value by using the following formula, based on the reset sink current (Example:
external pull-up resistor connected to Vext = 5 V):
Rextmin = ΔV / IRO = (Vext - VROmin) / IRO = (5 V - 0.25 V) / 1.0 mA = 4.75 kΩ
At low output voltage levels VQ < 1 V the integrated pull-up resistor of the TLE7273-2GV50 is switched off setting
the reset output high ohmic.

5.1.2 Watchdog Operation
The watchdog uses a fraction of the charge pump oscillator’s clock signal as timebase. The watchdog timebase
can be adjusted using the pins WM1 and WM2 (see Figure 5). The watchdog can be turned off setting WM1 and
WM2 to high level. The timing values refer to typ. values with WM1 and WM2 connected to GND (fast watchdog
and reset timing).
Figure 5 shows the state diagram of the window watchdog (WWD) and the watchdog and reset mode selection.
After power-on, the reset output signal at the RO pin (microcontroller reset) is kept LOW for the reset delay time
tRD of typ. 16 ms. With the LOW to HIGH transition of the signal at RO the device starts the ignore window time
tCW (32 ms). During this window the signal at the WDI pin is ignored. Next the WWD starts the open window which
