Description
The A6130 offers a high level of integration by combining
voltage regulation, voltage monitoring and software mon-
itoring in an 8 lead package. The voltage regulator has a
low dropout voltage (typ. 380 mV at 100 mA) and a low
quiescent current (155 μA). The quiescent current in-
creases 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 un-
regulated input voltage of -20 V (reverse battery). The in-
put may be connected to ground or a reverse voltage
withoutreversecurrentflowfromtheoutputtotheinput.A
comparator monitors the voltage applied at the V
IN
input
comparing it with an internal 1.17 V reference. The
power-on reset function is initialized after V
IN
reaches 1.17
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 1.17 V. The RES and EN
outputs are guaranteed to be in a correct state for a regu-
lated output voltage as low as 1.2 V. The watchdog func-
tion monitors software cycle time and execution. If soft-
ware 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.
