DESCRIPTION
The X40020 combines power-on reset control, watch-
dog timer, supply voltage supervision, and secondary
supervision, and manual reset, in one package. This
combination lowers system cost, reduces board space
requirements, and increases reliability.
Applying voltage to V
CC
activates the power-on reset
circuit which holds RESET/RESET active for a period of
time. This allows the power supply and system oscilla-
tor to stabilize before the processor can execute code.

Low V
CC
detection circuitry protects the user’s system
from low voltage conditions, resetting the system when
V
CC
falls below the minimum V
TRIP1
point.
RESET/RESET is active until V
CC
returns to proper
operating level and stabilizes. A second voltage monitor
circuit tracks the unregulated supply to provide a power
fail warning or monitors different power supply voltage.
Three common low voltage combinations are available.
However, Intersil’s unique circuits allows the threshold
for either voltage monitor to be reprogrammed to meet
specific system level requirements or to fine-tune the
threshold for applications requiring higher precision.
A manual reset input provides debounce circuitry for
minimum reset component count.
A battery switch circuit compares V
CC
with V
BATT
input
and connects V
OUT
to whichever is higher. This provides
voltage to external SRAM or other circuits in the event of
main power failure. The X40020/21 can drive 50mA from

The Watchdog Timer provides an independent protec-
tion mechanism for microcontrollers. When the micro-
controller fails to restart a timer within a selectable time
out interval, the device activates the WDO signal. The
user selects the interval from three preset values. Once
selected, the interval does not change, even after
cycling the power.
The device features an 2-wire interface and software
protocol allowing operation on a two-wire bus.
The device utilizes Intersil’s proprietary Direct Write
™
cell, providing a minimum endurance of 100,000 cycles
and a minimum data retention of 100 years.

Function
V2 Voltage Fail Output.
This open drain output goes LOW when V2MON is less than V

and
goes HIGH when V2MON exceeds V
TRIP2
. There is no power-up reset delay circuitry on this pin.
V2 Voltage Monitor Input.
When the V2MON input is less than the V
TRIP2
voltage, V2FAIL goes
LOW. This input can monitor an unregulated power supply with an external resistor divider or can
monitor a second power supply with no external components. Connect V2MON to V

This open drain output signal goes LOW when

When
V

> V
TRIP1
, this pin is pulled high with the use of an external pull up resistor.
WDO Output.
WDO is an active LOW, open drain output which goes active whenever the watchdog
timer goes active.
Manual Reset Input.
Pulling the MR pin LOW initiates a system reset. The RESET/RESET pin will
remain HIGH/LOW until the pin is released and for the t
PURST
thereafter. It has an internal pull up
resistor.
RESET Output.
(X40021) This open drain pin is an active LOW output which goes LOW whenever
V
CC
falls below V
TRIP1
voltage or if manual reset is asserted. This output stays active for the pro-
grammed time period (t
PURST
) on power-up. It will also stay active until manual reset is released and
for t
PURST
thereafter.
RESET Output.
(X40020) This pin is an active HIGH open drain output which goes HIGH whenever
V
CC
falls below V
TRIP1
voltage or if manual reset is asserted. This output stays active for the pro-
grammed time period (t
PURST
) on power-up. It will also stay active until manual reset is released and
for t

thereafter.

Function
Serial Data.
SDA is a bidirectional pin used to transfer data into and out of the device. It has an open
drain output and may be wire ORed with other open drain or open collector outputs. This pin requires
a pull up resistor and the input buffer is always active (not gated).
Watchdog Input.
A HIGH to LOW transition on the SDA (while SCL is toggled from HIGH to LOW
and followed by a stop condition) restarts the Watchdog timer. The absence of this transition within
the watchdog time out period results in WDO going active.
Serial Clock.
The Serial Clock controls the serial bus timing for data input and output.
Write Protect.
WP HIGH prevents writes to any location in the device (including all the registers). It
has an internal pull down resistor. (>10M typical)
Battery Supply Voltage.
This input provides a backup supply in the event of a failure of the
primary V
CC
voltage. The V
BATT
voltage typically provides the supply voltage necessary to
maintain the contents of SRAM and also powers the internal logic to “stay awake.” If the battery is not
used, connect V
BATT
to ground.

Note:
There is hysteresis around V
BATT
± 0.03V point to avoid oscillation at or near the
switchover voltage. A capacitance of 0.1µF must be connected to V
OUT
to ensure stability.
Battery On.
This CMOS output goes HIGH when the V
OUT
switches to V
BATT
and goes LOW when
V
OUT
switches to V
CC
. It is used to drive an external PNP pass transistor when V
CC
= V
OUT
and current
requirements are greater than 50mA.
The purpose of this output is to drive an external transistor to get higher operating currents when the
V
CC
supply is fully functional. In the event of a V
CC
failure, the battery voltage is applied to the V
OUT
pin and the external transistor is turned off. In this “backup condition,” the battery only needs to supply
enough voltage and current to keep SRAM devices from losing their data–there is no communication
at this time.

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
Power-on Reset
Applying power to the X40020/21 activates a Power-on
Reset Circuit that pulls the RESET/RESET pins active.
This signal provides several benefits.
– It prevents the system microprocessor from starting to
operate with insufficient voltage.
– It prevents the processor from operating prior to stabi-
lization of the oscillator.
– It allows time for an FPGA to download its configura-
tion prior to initialization of the circuit.
– It prevents communication to the EEPROM, greatly
reducing the likelihood of data corruption on power-up.
When V
CC
exceeds the device V
TRIP1
threshold value
for t
PURST
(selectable) the circuit releases the RESET
(X40021) and RESET (X40020) pin allowing the system
to begin operation.

Low Voltage V2 Monitoring
The X40020/21 also monitors a second voltage level and
asserts V2FAIL if the voltage falls below a preset minimum
V
TRIP2
. The V2FAIL signal is either ORed with RESET to
prevent the microprocessor from operating in a power fail
or brownout condition or used to interrupt the microproces-
sor with notification of an impending power failure. The
V2FAIL signal remains active until the V
CC
drops below 1V
(V
CC
falling). It also remains active until V2MON returns
and exceeds V
TRIP2
.
V2MON voltage monitor is powered by V
OUT.
If V

and
V

go away, V2MON cannot be monitored.

Manual Reset
By connecting a push-button directly from MR to ground,
the designer adds manual system reset capability. The
MR pin is LOW while the push-button is closed and
RESET/RESET pin remains LOW for
t
PURST
or till the
push-button is released and for t
PURST
thereafter. A
weak pull up resistor is connected to the MR pin.
Low Voltage V1 Monitoring
During operation, the X40020/21 monitors the V
CC
level
and asserts RESET if supply voltage falls below a preset
minimum V
TRIP1
. The RESET signal prevents the micro-
processor from operating in a power fail or brownout
condition. The V1FAIL signal remains active until the
voltage drops below 1V. It also remains active until V
CC
returns and exceeds V
TRIP1
for
t
PURST
.
WATCHDOG TIMER
The Watchdog Timer circuit monitors the microprocessor
activity by monitoring the SDA and SCL pins. A standard
read or write sequence to any slave address byte restarts
the watchdog timer and prevents the WDO signal to go
active. A minimum sequence to reset the watchdog timer
requires four microprocessor instructions namely, a Start,
Clock Low, Clock High and Stop. The state of two nonvola-
tile control bits in the Status Register determine the watch-
dog timer period. The microprocessor can change these
watchdog bits by writing to the X40020/21 control register
(also refer to page 21).
