DESCRIPTION
The X4163, X4165 combines four popular functions,
Power-on Reset Control, Watchdog Timer, Supply Volt-
age Supervision, and Serial EEPROM Memory in one
package. This combination lowers system cost,
reduces board space requirements, and increases reli-
ability.
Applying power to the device activates the power on
reset circuit which holds RESET/RESET active for a
period of time. This allows the power supply and oscilla-
tor to stabilize before the processor can execute code.
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
RESET/RESET signal. The user selects the interval
from three preset values. Once selected, the interval
does not change, even after cycling the power.
The device’s low V
CC
detection circuitry protects the
user’s system from low voltage conditions, resetting the
system when V
CC
falls below the set minimum V
CC
trip
point. RESET/RESET is asserted until V
CC
returns to
proper operating level and stabilizes. Four industry
standard V
TRIP
thresholds are available, however, Inter-
sil’s unique circuits allow the threshold to be repro-
grammed to meet custom requirements or to fine-tune
the threshold for applications requiring higher precision.

Reset Output.
RESET/RESET is an active LOW/HIGH, open drain output which
goes active whenever V
CC
falls below the minimum V
CC
sense level. It will remain
active until V
CC
rises above the minimum V
CC
sense level for 250ms.
RESET/RESET goes active if the Watchdog Timer is enabled and SDA remains
either HIGH or LOW longer than the selectable Watchdog time out period. A falling
edge on SDA, while SCL is HIGH, resets the Watchdog Timer. RESET/RESET
goes active on power up and remains active for 250ms after the power supply sta-
bilizes.
Ground
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 HIGH) restarts
the Watchdog timer. The absence of a HIGH to LOW transition within the watchdog
time out period results in RESET/RESET going active.
Serial Clock.
The Serial Clock controls the serial bus timing for data input and output.
Write Protect.
WP HIGH used in conjunction with WPEN bit prevents writes to
the control register.

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
Power On Reset
Application of power to the X4163, X4165 activates a
Power On Reset Circuit that pulls the RESET/RESET
pin 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 sta-
bilization 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
TRIP
threshold value
for
200ms
(nominal)
the
circuit
releases
RESET/RESET allowing the system to begin operation.
LOW VOLTAGE MONITORING
During operation, the X4163, X4165 monitors the V
CC
level and asserts RESET/RESET if supply voltage
falls below a preset minimum V
TRIP
. The
RESET/RESET signal prevents the microprocessor
from operating in a power fail or brownout condition.
The RESET/RESET signal remains active until the
voltage drops below 1V. It also remains active until
V
CC
returns and exceeds V
TRIP
for 200ms.
WATCHDOG TIMER
The Watchdog Timer circuit monitors the microproces-
sor activity by monitoring the SDA and SCL pins. The
microprocessor must toggle the SDA pin HIGH to
LOW periodically, while SCL is HIGH (this is a start bit)
prior to the expiration of the watchdog time out period to
prevent a RESET/RESET signal. The state of two non-
volatile control bits in the Status Register determine
the watchdog timer period. The microprocessor can
change these watchdog bits, or they may be “locked”
by tying the WP pin HIGH.
EEPROM INADVERTENT WRITE PROTECTION
When RESET/RESET goes active as a result of a low
voltage condition or Watchdog Timer Time Out, any in-
progress communications are terminated. While
RESET/RESET is active, no new communications are
allowed and no nonvolatile write operation can start.
Nonvolatile writes in-progress when RESET/RESET
goes active are allowed to finish.
Additional protection mechanisms are provided with
memory Block Lock and the Write Protect (WP) pin.
These are discussed elsewhere in this document.
V
CC
THRESHOLD RESET PROCEDURE
The X4163, X4165 is shipped with a standard V
CC
threshold (V
TRIP
) voltage. This value will not change
over normal operating and storage conditions. How-
ever, in applications where the standard V
TRIP
is not
exactly right, or if higher precision is needed in the
V
TRIP
value, the X4163, X4165 threshold may be
adjusted. The procedure is described below, and uses
the application of a nonvolatile control signal.
