Description
The N84C161/2 is a complete memory and supervisory solution for
microcontroller−based systems. A serial EEPROM memory (16K)
with hardware memory write protection, a system power supervisor
with brown out protection and a watchdog timer are integrated
together in low power CMOS technology. Memory interface is via an
I2C bus.
SOIC−8
CASE 751BD
The 1.6−second watchdog circuit returns a system to a known good
state if a software or hardware glitch halts or “hangs” the system. The
N84C161 watchdog monitors the SDA line, making an additional PC

watchdog timer.
The power supply monitor and reset circuit protects memory and
system controllers during power up/down and against brownout
conditions. Five reset threshold voltages support 5 V, 3.3 V and 3 V

become active, preventing the system microcontroller, ASIC or
peripherals from operating. Reset signals become inactive typically

both active high and low reset signals, interface to microcontrollers
and other ICs is simple. In addition, a reset pin can be used as a
debounced input for pushbutton manual reset capability.
