DESCRIPTION
The UCC2946 is designed to provide accurate microprocessor supervision, including reset and watchdog
functions. During power up, the device asserts a reset signal RES with VDD as low as 1 V. The reset signal
remains asserted until the VDD voltage rises and remains above the reset threshold for the reset period. Both
reset threshold and reset period are programmable by the user.
The UCC2946 is also resistant to glitches on the VDD line. Once RES has been deasserted, any drops below
the threshold voltage need to be of certain time duration and voltage magnitude to generate a reset signal.
These values are shown in Figure 1. An I/O line of the microprocessor may be tied to the watchdog input (WDI)
for watchdog functions. If the I/O line is not toggled within a set watchdog period, programmable by the user,
WDO is asserted. The watchdog function is disabled during reset conditions.
The UCC2946 is available in 8-pin TSSOP (PW) package to optimize board space.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
The UCC2946 supervisory circuit provides accurate reset and watchdog functions for a variety of microprocessor
applications. The reset circuit prevents the microprocessor from executing code during undervoltage conditions,
typically during power-up and power-down. To prevent erratic operation in the presence of noise, voltage glitches
where voltage amplitude and time duration are less than the values specified in Figure 1 are ignored.

Figure 1.
The watchdog circuit monitors the microprocessor’s activity, if the microprocessor does not toggle WDI during the
programmable watchdog period WDO goes low, alerting the microprocessor’s interrupt of a fault. The WDO pin is
typically connected to the non-maskable input of the microprocessor so that an error recovery routine can be
executed.

Programming the Reset Voltage and Reset Period
The UCC2946 allows the reset trip voltage to be programmed with two external resistors. In most applications,
VDD is monitored by the reset circuit, however, the design allows voltages other than VDD to be monitored.
Referring to Figure 2, the voltage below which reset is asserted is determined by Equation 1:
) R2Ǔ
ǒR1 R2
V RESET + 1.235
(1)
To keep quiescent currents low, resistor values in the MΩ range can be used for R1 and R2. A manual reset can
be easily implemented by connecting a momentary push switch in parallel with R2. RES is ensured to be low
with VDD voltages as low as 1 V.

Once VDD rises above the programmed threshold, RES remains low for the reset period defined by Equation 2:
TRP = 3.125 × CRP
(2)
Where
TRP is time in milliseconds
CRP is capacitance in nanofarads
CRP is charged with a precision current source of 400 nA, a high-quality, low-leakage capacitor (such as an NPO
ceramic) should be used to maintain timing tolerances. Figure 3 shows the voltage levels and timings associated
with the reset circuit.

Programming the Watchdog Period
The watchdog period is programmed with CWP as shown in Equation 3:
TWP = 25 × CWP
(3)
Where
TWP is in milliseconds
CWP is in nanofarads
A high-quality, low-leakage capacitor should be used for CWP. The watchdog input WDI must be toggled with a
high-to-low or low-to-high transition within the watchdog period to prevent WDO from assuming a logic level low.
WDO maintains the low logic level until WDI is toggled or RES is asserted. If at any time RES is asserted, WDO
assumes a high logic state and the watchdog period be reinitiated. Figure 4 shows the timings associated with
the watchdog circuit.

Connecting WDO to RES
To provide design flexibility, the reset and watchdog circuits in the UCC2946 have separate outputs. Each output
independently drives high or low, depending on circuit conditions explained previously.
In some applications, it may be desirable for either the RES or WDO to reset the microprocessor. This can be
done by connecting WDO to RES. If the pins try to drive to different output levels, the low output level dominates.
Additional current flows from VDD to GND during these states. If the application cannot support additional current
(during fault conditions), RES and WDO can be connected to the inputs of an OR gate whose output is
connected to the microprocessor’s reset pin.
Layout Considerations
A 0.1-µF capacitor connected from VDD to GND is recommended to decouple the UCC2946 from switching
transients on the VDD supply rail.
Because RP and WP are precision current sources, capacitors CRP and CWP should be connected to these pins
with minimal trace length to reduce board capacitance. Care should be taken to route any traces with high
voltage potential or high speed digital signals away from these capacitors.
Resistors R1 and R2 generally have a high ohmic value; traces associated with these parts should be kept short
to prevent any transient producing signals from coupling into the high-impedance RTH pin.
