DESCRIPTION
The X4043/45 combines four popular functions,
Power-on Reset Control, Watchdog Timer, Supply
Voltage Supervision, and Block Lock Protect Serial
EEPROM Memory in one package. This combination
lowers system cost, reduces board space require-
ments, and increases reliability.
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 minimum V
CC
trip
point. RESET/RESET is asserted until V
CC
returns to
proper operating level and stabilizes. Five industry stan-
dard V
TRIP
thresholds are available, however, Intersil’s
unique circuits allow the threshold to be reprogrammed
to meet custom requirements or to fine-tune the thresh-
old for applications requiring higher precision.

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 oper-
ation on an I
2
C bus.
The device utilizes Intersil’s proprietary Direct Write
™
cell, providing a minimum endurance of 1,000,000
cycles and a minimum data retention of 100 years.

Function
Reset Output.
RESET is an active LOW, open drain output which goes active
whenever V
CC
falls below V
TRIP
. It will remain active until V
CC
rises above the
V
TRIP
for t
PURST
. 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. RESET/RESET goes active on power-uppower-up and remains
active for 250ms after the power supply stabilizes. RESET is an active high open
drain output. An external pull up resistor is required on the RESET/RESET pin.
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).
Serial Clock.
The Serial Clock input controls the serial bus timing for data input and
output.
Write Protect.
WP HIGH prevents writes to any location in the device (including
the control register). Connect WP pin to V
SS
when it is not used.

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
Power-on Reset
Application of power to the X4043/45 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 stabi-
lization of the oscillator.
– It allows time for an FPGA to download its configura-
tion prior to initialization of the circuit.
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 X4043/45 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. A stan-
dard read or write sequence to any slave address byte
restarts the watchdog timer and prevents the
(RESET/RESET) signal going active. A minimum
sequence to reset the watchdog timer requires four
microprocessor intructions namely, a Start, Clock Low,
Clock High and Stop. (See Page 18) The state of two
nonvolatile 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 (V
CC
< V
TRIP
), any in-progress commu-
nications are terminated. While V
CC
< V
TRIP
, 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
TRIP
Programming
The X4043/45 is shipped with a standard V
CC
threshold
(V
TRIP
) voltage. This value will not change over normal
operating and storage conditions. However, in applica-
tions where the standard V
TRIP
is not exactly right, or if
higher precision is needed in the V
TRIP
value, the
X4043/45 threshold may be adjusted. The procedure is
described below, and uses the application of a high volt-
age control signal.
