software clears the watchdog too quickly (incorrect
cycle time) or too slowly (incorrect execution) it will
cause the system to be reset. The system enable
output prevents critical control functions being
activated until software has successfully cleared the
watchdog three times. Such a security could be used
to prevent motor controls being energized on
repeated resets of a faulty system.

Description
The A6150 offers a high level of integration by combining
voltage regulation, voltage monitoring and software
monitoring in an 8 lead package. The voltage regulator
has a low dropout voltage (typ. 380 mV at 100 mA) and a
low quiescent current (175
µ
A). The quiescent current
increases only slightly in dropout prolonging battery life.
Built-in protection includes a positive transient absorber for
up to 60 V (load dump) and the ability to survive an
unregulated input voltage of –20 V (reverse battery). The
input may be connected to ground or a reverse voltage
without reverse current flow from the output to the input. A
comparator monitors the voltage applied at the V
IN
input
comparing it with an internal 1.52 V reference. The power-
on reset function is initialized after V
IN
reaches 1.52 V and
takes the reset output inactive after T
POR
depending of
external resistance. The reset output goes active low when
the V
IN
voltage is less than 1.52 V. The RES and EN
outputs are guaranteed to be in a correct state for a
regulated output voltage as low as 1.2 V. The watchdog
function monitors software cycle time and execution. If

Handling Procedures
This device has built-in protection against high static
voltages or electric fields; however, anti-static precau-
tions must be taken as for any other CMOS component.
Unless otherwise specified, proper operation can only
occur when all terminal voltages are kept within the
supply voltage range. At any time, all inputs must be tied
to a defined logic voltage level.
2)
3)
4)
5)
6)
The maximum operating temperature is confirmed by
sampling at initial device qualification. In production, all
devices are tested at +85
°
C. On request devices tested at
+125
°
C can be supplied.
Full operation quaranteed. To achieve the load regulation
specified in Table 3 a 22
µ
F capacitor or greater is
required on the INPUT, see Fig. 18. The 22
µ
F must have
an effective resistance
≤
5
Ω
and a resonant frequency
above 500 kHz.
A 10
µ
F load capacitor and a 100 nF decoupling capacitor
are required on the regulator OUTPUT for stability. The
10
µ
F must have an effective series resistance of
≤
5
Ω
and
a resonant frequency above 500 kHz.
RES and EN (EN only for version A0) must be pulled up
externally to V
OUTPUT
even if they are unused. (Note: RES
and EN are used as inputs by EM test).
The OUTPUT current will not apply for all possible
combinations of input voltage and output current.
Combinations that would require the A6150 to work above
the maximum junction temperature (+125
°
C) must be
avoided.
The thermal resistance specified assumes the package is
soldered to a PCB.

If INPUT is connected to V
SS
, no reverse current will flow from the OUTPUT to the INPUT, however the supply current specified will
be sank by the OUTPUT to supply the A6150.
2)
The OUTPUT voltage temperature coefficient is defined as the worst case voltage change divided by the total temperature range.
3)
Regulation is measured at constant junction temperature using pulse testing with a low duty cycle. Changes in OUTPUT voltage
due to heating effects are covered in the specification for thermal regulation.
4)
The dropout voltage is defined as the INPUT to OUTPUT differential, measured with the input voltage equal to 5.0 V.
5)
Thermal regulation is defined as the change in OUTPUT voltage at a time T after a change in power dissipation is applied,
excluding load or line regulation effects.
6)
The comparator and the voltage regulator have separate voltage references (see “ Block Diagram” Fig. 7).
7)
The comparator reference is the power-down reset threshold. The power-on reset threshold equals the comparator reference
voltage plus the comparator hysteresis (see Fig. 4).
