High-Voltage Watchdog Timers with
Adjustable Timeout Delay
General Description
The MAX16997/MAX16998 are microprocessor (µP)
supervisory circuits for high-input-voltage and low-qui-
escent-current applications. These devices detect
downstream circuit failures and provide switchover to
redundant circuitry. See the Selector Guide for the dif-
ferent versions of this product family.
The MAX16997/MAX16998 family has four independent
inputs for reset and watchdog functions. SWT and SRT
inputs independently set the timeout periods of watch-
dog and reset timers through external capacitors.
RESETIN/EN monitor voltages at respective inputs. A
resistive voltage-divider sets the reset threshold.
The MAX16998A/B/D generate two output signals,
RESET and ENABLE. RESET asserts whenever
RESETIN drops below its threshold voltage or when the
watchdog timer detects a timing fault at WDI. Once
asserted, and after all reset conditions are removed,
RESET remains low for the reset timeout period, t_RESET,
and then goes high. The MAX16997A generates one
output signal (ENABLE) based on the voltage level at
EN and the signal at WDI.
The MAX16997A does not have a RESET output. The
watchdog is disabled if the voltage at EN is below its
threshold. The MAX16997A watchdog timer starts tim-
ing when the voltage at EN becomes higher than the
preset threshold voltage level. Each time EN rises
above the preset threshold voltage, the initial watchdog
timeout period is 8 times the normal watchdog timeout
period (t_WP).
The MAX16997/MAX16998 are available in 8-pin lead-
free µMAX^® packages and are fully specified over the
-40°C to +125°C automotive temperature range.
