Description

These devices combine four popular functions, Power-on Reset Control, Watchdog Timer, Supply Voltage Supervision, and Block Lock Protect Serial EEPROM Memory in one package. This combination lowers system cost, reduces board space requirements, and increases reliability.

Specifications and features

• Selectable watchdog timer
• Low VCC detection and reset assertion
—Five standard reset threshold voltages
—Re-program low VCC reset threshold voltage using special programming sequence
—Reset signal valid to VCC = 1V
• Determine watchdog or low voltage reset with a volatile flag bit
• Long battery life with low power consumption
—<50µA max standby current, watchdog on
—<1µA max standby current, watchdog off
—<400µA max active current during read
• 32Kbits of EEPROM
• Built-in inadvertent write protection
