DESCRIPTION
The CAT1161/2 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 I
2
C bus.
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 CAT1161 watchdog monitors
the SDA line, making an additional PC board trace
unnecessary. The lower cost CAT1162 does not have a
watchdog timer.
The power supply monitor and reset circuit protects
memory and system controllers during power up/down
and against brownout conditions. Five reset threshold
voltages support 5V, 3.3V and 3V systems. If power supply
voltages are out of tolerance reset signals become active,
preventing the system microcontroller, ASIC or peripherals
from operating. Reset signals become inactive typically 200
ms after the supply voltage exceeds the reset threshold
level. With both active high and low reset signals, interface
to microcontrollers and other ICs is simple. In addition, a
reset pin can be used as a debounced input for push-button
manual reset capability.
The CAT1161/2 memory features a 16-byte page. In addition,
hardware data protection is provided by a write protect pin
WP and by a V
CC
sense circuit that prevents writes to
memory whenever V
CC
falls below the reset threshold or
until V
CC
reaches the reset threshold during power up.
Available packages include an 8-pin DIP and a surface
mount, 8-pin SO package.

The write cycle time is the time from a valid stop condition of a write sequence to the end of the internal program/erase cycle. During the
write cycle, the bus interface circuits are disabled, SDA is allowed to remain high, and the device does not respond to its slave address.

PIN DESCRIPTIONS
WP:
WRITE PROTECT
If the pin is tied to V
CC
the entire memory array
becomes Write Protected (READ only). When the pin
is tied to GND or left floating normal read/write
operations are allowed to the device.
RESET
RESET/RESET RESET I/O
RESET:
These are open drain pins and can be used as reset
trigger inputs. By forcing a reset condition on the pins
the device will initiate and maintain a reset condition.
The RESET pin must be connected through a pull-
down resistor, and the
RESET
pin must be connected
through a pull-up resistor.
SDA: SERIAL DATA ADDRESS
The bidirectional serial data/address pin is used to
transfer all data into and out of the device. The SDA
pin is an open drain output and can be wire-ORed
with other open drain or open collector outputs.
If there is no transition on the SDA for more than 1.6
seconds, the watchdog timer times out.
SCL: SERIAL CLOCK
Serial clock input.
remain active until V
CC
reaches the V
TH
threshold and will
continue driving the outputs for approximately 200ms (t
PURST
)
after reaching V
TH
. After the t
PURST
timeout interval, the
device will cease to drive the reset outputs. At this point the
reset outputs will be pulled up or down by their respective pull
up/down resistors. During power-down, the RESET outputs
will be active when V
CC
falls below V
TH
. The
RESET
outputs
will be valid so long as V
CC
is >1.0V (V
RVALID
).
The RESET pins are I/Os; therefore, the CAT1161/2 can act
as a signal conditioning circuit for an externally applied
manual reset. The inputs are edge triggered; that is, the
RESET input in the CAT1161/2 will initiate a reset timeout
after detecting a low to high transition and the
RESET
input
will initiate a reset timeout after detecting a high to low
transition.
Watchdog Timer
The Watchdog Timer provides an independent protection for
microcontrollers. During a system failure, the CAT1161will
respond with a reset signal after a time-out interval of 1.6
seconds for a lack of activity. The CAT1161 is designed with
the Watchdog Timer feature on the SDA input. If the
microcontroller does not toggle the SDA input pin within 1.6
seconds, the Watchdog Timer times out. This will generate
a reset condition on reset outputs. The Watchdog Timer is
cleared by any transition on SDA.
