H6061
3V Self Recovering Watchdog
Description
The H6061 is a combined initialiser, watchdog and voltage
monitor. The circuit is a low voltage low power monolithic
CMOS device combining a series of voltage comparators
and a programmable timer on the same chip. The device is
specially suited to telecommunications applications where 3
V working is expected, for functions such as supply voltage
and microprocessor monitoring. The reset outputs are self
recovering after a watchdog timeout, enabling the circuit to
work with standalone systems without any external push-
switch or control signal to restart after a watchdog timeout.
The circuit provides a reset signal of both polarities. The
state of the outputs is defined down to 1.6 V. An internal
debouncer ensures power-up performance for fast-rise
supply lines.

Handling Procedures
This device has built-in protection against high static
voltages or electric fields; however, anti-static precautions
must be taken as for any other CMOS component. Unless
otherwise specified, proper operation can only occur when
all terminal voltages are kept within the voltage range.
Unused inputs must always be tied to a defined logic
voltage level.

Timer Programming
A single timeout period T
TO
is used for the initialization reset
duration and the watchdog timeout. With pin RC
unconnected, the on-chip RC oscillator and divider chain
give a timeout period T
TO
of typically 100 ms. A resistor to
V
DD
will shorten this time, and a capacitor to V
SS
will
lengthen it (see Fig. 11). An approximation for calculating
trial values given in milliseconds by the formula:

Functional Description
Thresholds and Outputs
The H6061 has open-drain outputs and voltage thresholds
on pin V
IN
of typically 1.5 V.
Internal Voltage Comparators
The voltage comparators detect the voltage applied to pin
V
IN
and compare it with thresholds V
SH
, V
SL
and V
RL
. The
H6061 is designed for monitoring regulated DC voltages
and has bandgap thresholds independent of V
DD
. The
reaction of the H6061 to voltage changes on pin V
IN
is given
in Fig. 4. During powering-up, the outputs are active. After
V
IN
reaches the V
SH
level, pin
SAVE
deactivates after a
short debounce time T
DB
to allow for fast ramp-ups. The
initialization time T
TO
then passes before the two reset
outputs go inactive. Thereafter, when the voltage on pin V
IN
falls below the V
SL
level, pin
SAVE
goes active low as a
first warning. If V
IN
then drops below the V
RL
level, the reset
signals go active and are guaranteed down to 1.6 V. The
reset outputs react also to timeouts (see “Timer clearing”).
Note that when the supply voltage V
DD
is below the level
V
OFF
(about 2.2 V), all outputs are in the active state for any
allowed voltage of V
IN
.
Voltage Programming
The H6061 was designed to give the best compromise in
normal usage (see Table 3). Its voltage threshold can be
programmed by an external resistor divider or a
potentiometer to react at proportionally higher voltage levels
(see Fig. 8 below).

Choice of component values must be determined in
practice. To have a square wave of period 2T
TO
, simply
connect pin
TCL
to V
DD
or V
SS
and take the signal output
from a reset pin.
Timer Clearing
A negative edge or pulse at the
TCL
input longer than 150
ns will clear the timer and deactivate the reset outputs under
normal running conditions (see Fig. 3).
TCL
will however
have no effect either when V
DD
<
V
OFF
or during the
initialization period before the deactivation of the reset pins.
Combined Voltage and Timer Action
In Fig. 6 is a typical sequence of power-up, watchdog run,
and power-down. During initialization the
SAVE
pin
deactivates one debounce delay time T
DB
after V
IN
rises
above V
SH
, or when the power line V
DD
rises above V
ON
,
whichever happens last. The reset pins only deactivate one
timeout period T
TO
afterwards to free the watchdog timer
and end the initialization. Note that either V
IN
falling below
V
RL
threshold or V
DD
below V
ON
will cause an initialization
upon recovery. Following initialization, the watchdog timer
will time out after time T
TO
unless at least one
TCL
pulse
clears it. On timeout the reset pins reactivate for a further
T
TO
period before deactivating again for another try. A
TCL
pulse will deactivate any timeout reset, and another
TCL
pulse must follow within a time T
TO
to keep reset inactive. If
no
TCL
pulses come at all, the reset pins go square-wave.
Power-down overrides all this however. A falling voltage on
V
IN
gives a warning
SAVE
= 0 signal at V
IN
= V
SL
before
activating the reset pins as soon as V
IN
drops below V
RL
.
The H6061 has fixed thresholds and low hysteresis for
monitoring regulated DC lines. Additional protection is
provided in case V
DD
supply falls over about 10% below V
ON
which thereupon activates all outputs at once.
