The X4323/5 combines four popular functions, Power-
on Reset Control, Watchdog Timer, Supply Voltage
Supervision, and Serial EEPROM Memory in one pack-
age. This combination lowers system cost, reduces
board space requirements, 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 set minimum V
CC
trip
point. RESET/RESET is asserted until V
CC
returns to
proper operating level and stabilizes. Four industry stan-
dard V
TRIP
thresholds are available, however, Xicor’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.

RESET
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 ac-
tive on power up and remains active for 250ms after the power supply stabilizes.
Ground
Serial Data.
SDA is a bidirectional pin used to transfer data into and out of the de-
vice. 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.

X4323/5
PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
Power On Reset
Application of power to the X4323/5 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 X4323/5 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 pre-
vent a RESET/RESET signal. The state of two nonvol-
atile 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.

CC
THRESHOLD RESET PROCEDURE
The X4323/5 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
X4323/5 threshold may be adjusted. The procedure is
described below, and uses the application of a nonvol-
atile control signal.

Setting the V
TRIP
Voltage
This procedure is used to set the V
TRIP
to a higher or
lower voltage value. It is necessary to reset the trip
point before setting the new value.
To set the new V
TRIP
voltage, start by setting the WEL
bit in the control register, then apply the desired V
TRIP
threshold voltage to the V
CC
pin and the programming
voltage, V
P
, to the WP pin and 2-byte address and 1
byte of “00” data. The stop bit following a valid write
operation initiates the V
TRIP
programming sequence.
Bring WP LOW to complete the operation.
Resetting the V
TRIP
Voltage
This procedure is used to set the V
TRIP
to a “native”
voltage level. For example, if the current V
TRIP
is 4.4V
and the new V
TRIP
must be 4.0V, then the V
TRIP
must
be reset. When V
TRIP
is reset, the new V
TRIP
is some-
thing less than 1.7V. This procedure must be used to
set the voltage to a lower value.
To reset the new V
TRIP
voltage start by setting the
WEL bit in the control register, apply the desired V
TRIP
threshold voltage to the V
CC
pin and the programming
voltage, V
P
, to the WP pin and 2-byte address and 1
byte of “00” data. The stop bit of a valid write operation
initiates the V
TRIP
programming sequence. Bring WP
LOW to complete the operation.
