U5020M-FP

U5020M Digital Window Watchdog Timer Description The digital window watchdog timer, U5020M, is a CMOS integrated circuit. In application where safety is critical, it is especially important to monitor the microcontroller. Normal microcontroller operation is indicated by a cyclically transmitted trigger signal, which is received by a window watchdog timer within a defined time window. A missing or a wrong trigger signal makes the watchdog timer reset the microcontroller. The IC is tailored for microcontrollers which can work in both full-power and sleep mode. With an additional voltage monitoring (power-on reset and supply voltage drop reset) U5020M offers a complete monitoring solution for microsystems in automotive and industrial applications.

Power-up reset and mode switchover Pin 12 95 10637 Supply Voltage Monitoring, Pin 10 The integrated power-on reset (POR) circuitry sets the internal logic to a defined basic status and generates a reset pulse at the reset output, Pin 10, during ramp-up of the supply voltage and in the case of voltage drops of the supply. A hysteresis in the POR threshold prevents the circuit from oscillating. During ramp–up of the supply voltage the reset output stays active for time, to, in order to bring the microcontroller in its defined reset status (see figure 4). Pin 10 has an open-drain output. and the time, t1, starts again. Micro and watchdog are synchronized with the switchover mode time, t1, each time a reset pulse is generated. Microcontroller in Active Mode Monitoring with the “Short” Trigger Window After the switch-over mode the watchdog works in the short watchdog mode and expects a trigger pulse from the microcontroller within the defined time window, t3, (enable time). The watchdog generates a reset pulse which resets the microcontroller if Switch-over Mode Time, Pin 12 The switch-over mode time enables the synchronous operation of micro and watchdog. After the power-up reset time the watchdog has to be switched to its monitoring mode by the micro with a “low” signal transmitted to the mode pin (Pin 12) within the time out period, t1,. If the low signal does not occur within time, t1, (see figure 4) the watchdog generates a reset pulse, t6, D the trigger pulse duration is too long, D the trigger pulse is within the disable time, t2 D there is no trigger pulse Figure 5 shows the pulse diagram with a missing trigger pulse.

Pulse diagram with no trigger pulse during the short watchdog time 95 10638 Figure 6 shows a correct trigger sequence. The positive edge of the trigger signal starts a new monitoring cycle with the disable time, t2. To ensure a correct operation of the microcontroller the watchdog needs to be triggered three times correctly before it sets its enable output. This feature is used to activate or deactivate safety critical components, which have to be switched to a certain condition (emergency status) in the case of a microcontroller malfunction. As soon as there is an incorrect trigger sequence the enable signal is reset and it takes again a three correct trigger sequence before enable is reset. Microcontroller in Sleep Mode Monitoring with the “Long” Trigger Window The long watchdog mode allows cyclical wake up of the micro during the sleep mode. Like in the short watchdog mode there is a disable time, t4, and an enable time, t5, in which a trigger signal is accepted. The watchdog can be switched from the short trigger window to the long trigger window with a “high” potential at the mode pin (Pin 12). In contrast to the short watchdog mode the time periods are now much longer and the enable output remains inactive that other components can be switched off to effect a further decrease in current consumption. As soon as a wake-up signal at one of the 6 wake up inputs (Pins 3 to 8) is detected, the long watchdog mode ends, a reset pulse wakes-up the sleeping microcontroller and the normal monitoring cycle starts with the mode switch-over time. With the help of a low or high potential at Pin 16 (time switch) the long watchdog time can be selected in two values.

Meet all present and future national and international statutory requirements. 2. Regularly and continuously improve the performance of our products, processes, distribution and operating systems with respect to their impact on the health and safety of our employees and the public, as well as their impact on the environment. It is particular concern to control or eliminate releases of those substances into the atmosphere which are known as ozone depleting substances ( ODSs). The Montreal Protocol ( 1987) and its London Amendments ( 1990) intend to severely restrict the use of ODSs and forbid their use within the next ten years. Various national and international initiatives are pressing for an earlier ban on these substances. TEMIC TELEFUNKEN microelectronic GmbH semiconductor division has been able to use its policy of continuous improvements to eliminate the use of ODSs listed in the following documents. 1. Annex A, B and list of transitional substances of the Montreal Protocol and the London Amendments respectively 2 . Class I and II ozone depleting substances in the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 by the Environmental Protection Agency ( EPA) in the USA 3.

TEMIC can certify that our semiconductors are not manufactured with ozone depleting substances and do not contain such substances. We reserve the right to make changes to improve technical design and may do so without further notice. Parameters can vary in different applications. All operating parameters must be validated for each customer application by the customer. Should the buyer use TEMIC products for any unintended or unauthorized application, the buyer shall indemnify TEMIC against all claims, costs, damages, and expenses, arising out of, directly or indirectly, any claim of personal damage, injury or death associated with such unintended or unauthorized use.
