Description
The N84C163 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
N84C163 watchdog monitors the WDI input pin.
The power supply monitor and reset circuit protects memory and

conditions. Five reset threshold voltages support 5 V, 3.3 V and 3 V
systems. If power supply voltages are out of tolerance reset signals
become active, preventing the system microcontroller, ASIC or
