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 CAT24Cxxx 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.
DESCRIPTION
The CAT25Cxx1 is a complete memory and supervisory
solution for microcontroller-based systems. A serial
EEPROM memory (2/4/8/16K) 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 CAT24Cxx1 watchdog
monitors the SDA line, making an additional PC board
trace unnecessary. The lower cost CAT24Cxx2 does
not have a watchdog timer.
The power supply monitor and reset circuit protects Available packages include an 8-pin DIP and a surface
memory and system controllers during power up/down mount, 8-pin SO package.

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.
SCL: SERIAL CLOCK
If there is no transition on the WDI for more than 1.6
seconds, the watchdog timer times out.
RESET/RESET RESET I/O
RESET:
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
for approximately 200ms. 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.
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 CAT24CXXX can
act as a signal conditioning circuit for an externally applied
reset. The inputs are edge triggered; that is, the RESET input
in the 24CXXX will initiate a reset timeout after detecting a
low to high transition and the RESET input in the CAT24CXXX
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 CAT24CXXX
will respond with a reset signal after a time-out interval of
1.63 seconds for a lack of activity. The CAT24CXX1 is
designed with the Watchdog Timer feature on the SDA input.
For the CAT24CXX1, if the microcontroller does not toggle
the SDA input pin within 1.6 sectonds, the Watchdog Timer
times out. This will generate a reset condition on reset
outputs. The Watchdog Timer is cleared by any transition on
WDI.
