DS21402D-page 5 TC32M 3.0 DETAILED DESCRIPTION The TC32M provides three important functions to safeguard stable processor operation: precision pro- cessor monitor, Watchdog sanity timer and external override Reset control. 3.1 Processor Monitor The RS pin is immediately driven low any time VDD is below the nominal threshold voltage. As a result, this pin is LOW when power is initially applied, holding the processor in its Reset state. RS remains low for a minimum of 500 msec after VDD is within tolerance to allow the power supply and processor to stabilize. 3.2 Watchdog Timer The processor drives the RS pin with an input/output (I/O) line in series with an resistor voltage divider to VDD. Pulling the bottom resistor of this divider low results in an internal voltage change (strobe) sufficient to reset the Watchdog Timer, but above the VIL input threshold of the processor Reset pin. The processor must continuously apply strobes in this manner within a set period to verify proper software execution. A momentary Reset (500 msec minimum) is generated by the TC32M if a hardware or software failure keeps RS from being strobed within the Watchdog Time-out period. This action typically initiates the processor’s power-up routine. If the interruption persists, new Reset pulses are generated each time-out period until RS is strobed. This time-out period is typically 700 msec. FIGURE 3-1: Watchdog Strobe The software routine that drives the RS strobe must be in a section of the program that executes frequently enough so the time between toggles is less than one Watchdog Time-out period. The strobe signal can be derived from microprocessor address, data and/or control signals. Typical circuit examples are shown in Figure . 3.3 Resistor Value Selection The values of R1 and R2 must be chosen to ensure a valid low strobe level (VSTL) on RS when the processor I/O line is low. The use of 10 k , ±5% tolerance resistors are recommended. These values result in a nominal strobe level of 2.5 on RS (min/max of 2.13V/ 3.08V, assuming VDD = 5.0V ±10%). Other resistor values can be used, so long as the additive tolerances of the power supply and resistor values result in a strobe that falls within VSTH and VSTL under all additive tolerance conditions. VSTL (Max) tST tTD RS Note: tTD is the maximum elapsed time between strobes which will keep the watchdog timer from forcing RS LOW. (A Strobe is defined as a high-to-low transition from VSTH to VSTL). VSTH (Min) VSTL (Min) |
