Description
The V6170 offers a high level of integration by voltage
monitoring and software monitoring in an 8 lead
package. A comparator monitors the voltage applied at
the V
input comparing it with an internal 1.17 V
reference. The power-on reset function is initialized after
V
reaches 1.17 V and takes the reset output inactive
after T
depending of external resistance. The reset
output goes active low when the V
voltage is less than
1.17 V or when V
is higher than 5.9 V. The RES and EN
outputs are guaranteed to be in a correct state for a
supply voltage as low as 1.2 V. The watchdog function
monitors software cycle time and execution. If the
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.
