HA16117F Series
CMOS Watchdog Timer
Description
The HA16117F Series of ICs make a micro-processor (MPU) system fail-safe by monitoring its power
supply to detect voltage drops, and monitoring a P-RUN (program running) pulse to detect system crashes.
Also referred to as watchdog timers, these devices are essential in systems that aim for high levels of crash
protection. Fabricated by a CMOS process, they consume little power and are ideally suited for battery-
operated systems.
These ICs are available in versions for industrial and communications equipment and automotive
applications, as well as for consumer products.
Functions
•
Power-on reset
Sends a
RES
signal to the MPU for a fixed time at power-on
•
Watchdog timer (WDT)
Monitors a P-RUN signal from the MPU and sends the MPU a
RES
signal if P-RUN departs from a
set frequency range
•
Auto-reset
Outputs
RES
signals to the MPU at clocked intervals while P-RUN remains abnormal
•
Supply voltage supervision
Outputs a low
RES
signal if the supply voltage (same as the MPU's V
CC
) falls below a low threshold
level (V
TL
). The threshold differs for different ICs in the series, allowing designers to choose an IC
matching system requirements (see ordering information)
Features
•
Low power consumption : Operating (ACC pin low) = 0.5 mW (Typ)
: Standby (ACC pin high) = 0.2 mW (Typ)
•
Watchdog timer on/off control by ACC input signal
•
Independent auto-reset high and low times (t
RH
and t
RL
)
•
Watchdog monitoring by frequency filtering (independent of duty cycle)
•
High-precision low voltage detection (±2%)
•
Space- and weight-saving 8-pin SOP package

Note: The power-on reset circuit operates in both operating and standby modes.
The HA16117F consists of a low voltage detector, power-on and auto-reset circuit, and watchdog timer.
Low Voltage Detector
Uses a reference voltage source (≈ 1.25 V) and high-precision comparator to detect drops in the supply
voltage.
Power-On and Auto-Reset Circuit
Generates the
RES
waveform, using a multivibrator consisting of a current source I
1
that charges the
external capacitor C
R
, a current source I
2
that discharges C
R
, and a comparator.

HA16117F Series
Watchdog Timer
Reshapes the P-RUN signal (programming-running pulse) from the MPU to obtain a 50% duty cycle, then
converts frequency to duty cycle in the watchdog filter (WD filter).
The watchdog filter is a bandpass filter. The duty cycle of the filter output is highest in the normal
frequency range of P-RUN.
The watchdog filter output controls I
2
in the multivibrator, the higher the duty cycle of the watchdog filter
output, the shorter the time during which I
2
discharges C
R
. If the duty cycle is high enough then C
R
is held
at a high potential, preventing the multivibrator from firing, and the
RES
output remains high.
