DESCRIPTION
The X40420, X40421 combines power-on reset con-
trol, watchdog timer, supply voltage supervision, and
secondary supervision, manual reset, and Block
Lock
™
protect serial EEPROM in one package. This
combination lowers system cost, reduces board space
requirements, and increases reliability.
Applying voltage to V
CC
activates the power-on reset
circuit which holds RESET/RESET active for a period of
time. This allows the power supply and system oscilla-
tor to stabilize before the processor can execute code.

Low V
CC
detection circuitry protects the user’s system
from low voltage conditions, resetting the system
when V
CC
falls below the minimum V
TRIP1
point.
RESET/RESET is active until V
CC
returns to proper
operating level and stabilizes. A second voltage moni-
tor circuit tracks the unregulated supply to provide a
power fail warning or monitors different power supply
voltage. Three common low voltage combinations are
available, however, Intersil’s unique circuits allows the
threshold for either voltage monitor to be repro-
grammed to meet special needs or to fine-tune the
threshold for applications requiring higher precision.
A manual reset input provides debounce circuitry for
minimum reset component count.
A battery switch circuit compares V
CC
with V
BATT
input
and connects V
OUT
to whichever is higher. This pro-
vides voltage to external SRAM or other circuits in the
event of main power failure. The X40420, X40421 can
drive 50mA from V
CC
to 250µA from V
BATT
. The
device only switches to V
BATT
when V
CC
drops below
the low V
CC
voltage threshold and V
BATT
.
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 WDO signal.
The user selects the interval from three preset values.

Once selected, the interval does not change, even
after cycling the power.
The memory portion of the device is a CMOS Serial
EEPROM array with Intersil’s Block Lock protection.
The array is internally organized as x 8. The device
features an 2-wire interface and software protocol
allowing operation on a two-wire bus.
The device utilizes Intersil’s proprietary Direct Write
™
cell, providing a minimum endurance of 100,000
cycles and a minimum data retention of 100 years.

Function
V2 Voltage Fail Output.
This open drain output goes LOW when V2MON is less than V

and
goes HIGH when V2MON exceeds V
TRIP2
. There is no power-up reset delay circuitry on this pin.
V2 Voltage Monitor Input.
When the V2MON input is less than the V
TRIP2
voltage, V2FAIL goes
LOW. This input can monitor an unregulated power supply with an external resistor divider or can
monitor a second power supply with no external components. Connect V2MON to V
SS

when
not used.
Early Low V

Detect.
This open drain output signal goes LOW when
V
CC
< V
TRIP1
.
When
V
CC
> V
TRIP1
, this pin is pulled high with the use of an external pull up resistor.
WDO Output.
WDO is an active LOW, open drain output which goes active whenever the watchdog
timer goes active.
Manual Reset Input.
Pulling the MR pin LOW initiates a system reset. The RESET/RESET pin will remain
HIGH/LOW until the pin is released and for the t
PURST
thereafter. It has an internal pull up resistor.

Function
RESET Output.
(X40421) This open drain pin is an active LOW output which goes LOW whenever
V
CC
falls below V
TRIP1
voltage or if manual reset is asserted. This output stays active for the pro-
grammed time period (t
PURST
) on power-up. It will also stay active until manual reset is released and
for t
PURST
thereafter.
RESET Output.
(X40420) This pin is an active HIGH open drain output which goes HIGH whenever
V
CC
falls below V
TRIP1
voltage or if manual reset is asserted. This output stays active for the pro-
grammed time period (t
PURST
) on power-up. It will also stay active until manual reset is released and
for t
PURST
thereafter.
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 toggled from HIGH to LOW
and followed by a stop condition) restarts the Watchdog timer. The absence of this transition within
the watchdog time out period results in WDO going active.
Serial Clock.
The Serial Clock controls the serial bus timing for data input and output.
Write Protect.
WP HIGH prevents writes to any location in the device (including all the registers). It
has an internal pull down resistor. (>10MΩ typical)
Battery Supply Voltage.
This input provides a backup supply in the event of a failure of the
primary V
CC
voltage. The V
BATT
voltage typically provides the supply voltage necessary to
maintain the contents of SRAM and also powers the internal logic to “stay awake.” If the battery is not
used, connect V
BATT
to ground.

Note:
There is hysteresis around V
BATT
± 0.03V point to avoid oscillation at or near the
switchover voltage. A capacitance of 0.1µF must be connected to V
OUT
to ensure stability.
Battery On.
This CMOS output goes HIGH when the V
OUT
switches to V
BATT
and goes LOW when
V
OUT
switches to V
CC
. It is used to drive an external PNP pass transistor when V
CC
= V
OUT
and current
requirements are greater than 50mA.
The purpose of this output is to drive an external transistor to get higher operating currents when the
V
CC
supply is fully functional. In the event of a V
CC
failure, the battery voltage is applied to the V
OUT
pin and the external transistor is turned off. In this “backup condition,” the battery only needs to supply
enough voltage and current to keep SRAM devices from losing their data–there is no communication
at this time.

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
Power-on Reset
Applying power to the X40420, X40421 activates a
Power-on Reset Circuit that pulls the RESET/RESET
pins 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
TRIP1
threshold value
for t
PURST
(selectable) the circuit releases the RESET
(X40421) and RESET (X40420) pin allowing the system
to begin operation.

Low Voltage V2 Monitoring
The X40420, X40421 also monitors a second voltage
level and asserts V2FAIL if the voltage falls below a pre-
set minimum V
TRIP2
. The V2FAIL signal is either ORed
with RESET to prevent the microprocessor from operat-
ing in a power fail or brownout condition or used to inter-
rupt the microprocessor with notification of an impending
power failure. The V2FAIL signal remains active until the
V
CC
drops below 1V (V
CC
falling). It also remains active
until V2MON returns and exceeds V
TRIP2
.
V2MON voltage monitor is powered by V
OUT.
If V
CC
and V
BATT
go away, V2MON cannot be monitored.

Manual Reset
By connecting a push-button directly from MR to
ground, the designer adds manual system reset capa-
bility. The MR pin is LOW while the push-button is
closed and RESET/RESET pin remains LOW for
t
PURST
or till the push-button is released and for t
PURST
thereafter. A weak pull up resistor is connected to the
MR pin.
Low Voltage V1 Monitoring
During operation, the X40420, X40421 monitors the
V
CC
level and asserts RESET if supply voltage falls
below a preset minimum V
TRIP1
. The RESET signal
prevents the microprocessor from operating in a
power fail or brownout condition. The V1FAIL signal
remains active until the voltage drops below 1V. It also
remains active until V
CC
returns and exceeds V
TRIP1
for
t
PURST
.
WATCHDOG TIMER
The Watchdog Timer circuit monitors the microproces-
sor activity by monitoring the SDA and SCL pins. A
standard read or write sequence to any slave address
byte restarts the watchdog timer and prevents the
WDO signal to go active. A minimum sequence to
reset the watchdog timer requires four microprocessor
instructions namely, a Start, Clock Low, Clock High
and Stop. The state of two nonvolatile control bits in
the Status Register determine the watchdog timer
period. The microprocessor can change these watch-
dog bits by writing to the X40420, X40421 control reg-
ister.
