OVERVIEW
The SMS8198 is a precision supervisory circuit designed
specifically as a companion chip for the Philips TriMedia
Processor family. The SMS8198 monitors the power
supply and holds the system in reset whenever VCC is
below the VTRIP threshold.
In addition to the supervisory function, the SMS8198 has
16K-bits of nonvolatile memory that is used by the
TriMedia processor as the boot memory.
The SMS8198 provides 16K-bits of memory that is acces-
sible through the industry standard 2-wire serial interface.
By integrating a precision supervisory circuit and the
hardware WP input, the SMS8198 becomes the perfect
companion chip for the Philips TriMedia processor family.
Its functions are integral to the boot hardware operation of
the TriMedia processors.
