MAX801 Watchdog Timer

The watchdog monitors the µP’s activity. If the µP does

not toggle the watchdog input (WDI) within 1.6sec,

reset asserts for the reset timeout period. The internal

1.6sec timer is cleared when reset asserts or when a

transition (low-to-high or high-to-low) occurs at WDI

while reset is not asserted. The timer remains cleared

and does not count as long as reset is asserted. It

starts counting as soon as reset is released (Figure 5).

Supply current is typically reduced by 10µA when WDI

is at a valid logic level. To disable the watchdog func-

tion, leave WDI unconnected. An internal voltage

divider sets WDI to about mid-supply, disabling the

watchdog timer/counter.

MAX808 Chip-Enable Gating

The MAX808 provides internal gating of chip-enable

(CE) signals to prevent erroneous data from corrupting

CMOS RAM in the event of a power failure. During nor-

mal operation, the CE gate is enabled and passes all

CE transitions. When reset is asserted, this path

becomes disabled, preventing erroneous data from

corrupting the CMOS RAM. The MAX808 uses a series

transmission gate from the chip-enable input (CE IN) to

the chip-enable output (CE OUT) (Figure 1). The 8ns

max chip-enable propagation from CE IN to CE OUT

enables the MAX808 to be used with most µPs.

The MAX808 also features write-cycle-completion cir-

cuitry. If VCC falls below the reset threshold while the

µP is writing to RAM, the MAX808 holds the CE gate

enabled for 18µs to allow the µP to complete the write

instruction. If the write cycle has not completed by the

end of the 18µs period, the CE transmission gate turns

off and CE OUT goes high. If the µP completes the

write instruction during the 18µs period, the CE gate

turns off (high impedance) and CE OUT goes high as

soon as the µP pulls CE IN high. CE OUT remains high,

even if CE IN falls low for any reason (Figure 6).

Chip-Enable Input

CE IN is high impedance (disabled mode) while reset is

asserted. During a power-down sequence when VCC

passes the reset threshold, the CE transmission gate

disables. CE IN becomes high impedance 18µs after

reset asserts, provided CE IN is still low. If the µP com-

pletes the write instruction during the 18µs period, the

CE gate turns off. CE IN becomes high impedance as

soon as the µP pulls CE IN high. CE IN remains high

impedance even if the signal at CE IN falls low (Figure

6). During a power-up sequence, CE IN remains high

impedance (regardless of CE IN activity) until reset is

deasserted following the reset timeout period.

Figure 6. Chip-Enable Timing

In high-impedance mode, the leakage currents into this

input are ±1µA max over temperature. In low-imped-

ance mode, the impedance of CE IN appears as a 75Ω

resistor in series with the load at CE OUT.

The propagation delay through the CE transmission

gate depends on both the source impedance of the

drive to CE IN and the capacitive loading on CE OUT

(see the Chip-Enable Propagation Delay vs. CE OUT

Load Capacitance graph in the Typical Operating

Characteristics). The CE propagation delay is produc-

tion tested from the 50% point on CE IN to the 50%

point on CE OUT using a 50Ω driver and 50pF of load

capacitance (Figure 7). For minimum propagation

delay, minimize the capacitive load at CE OUT and use

a low-output-impedance driver.
