DESCRIPTION
The X40010/11/14/15 combines power-on reset con-
trol, watchdog timer, supply voltage supervision, and
secondary voltage supervision, 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.
Dual Voltage Monitors
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 device features a 2-wire interface and software
protocol allowing operation on an I

bus.

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

SDA
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 transi-
tion within the watchdog time out period results in WDO going active.

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
Power On Reset
Application of power to the X40010/11/14/15 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 stabili-
zation 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
(X40011) and RESET (X40010) pin allowing the system
to begin operation.
Low Voltage V
CC
(V1 Monitoring)
During operation, the X40010/11/14/15 monitors the
V
CC
level and asserts RESET/RESET if supply voltage
falls below a preset minimum V
TRIP1
. The
RESET/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
.
Low Voltage V2 Monitoring
The X40010/11/14/15 also monitors a second voltage
level and asserts V2FAIL if the voltage falls below a
preset minimum V
TRIP2
. The V2FAIL signal is either
ORed with RESET to prevent the microprocessor from
operating in a power fail or brownout condition or used to
interrupt the microprocessor with notification of an
impending power failure. For the X40010/11 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
by 0.2V. This voltage sense circuitry
monitors the power supply connected to the V2MON pin.
If V
CC
= 0, V2MON can still be monitored.
For the X40014/15 devices, the V2FAIL signal remains
actice until V
CC
drops below 1Vx and remains active
until V2MON returns and exceeds V
TRIP2
. This sense
circuitry is powered by V
CC
. If V
CC
= 0, V2MON cannot
be monitored.

WATCHDOG TIMER
The Watchdog Timer circuit monitors the microprocessor
activity by monitoring the SDA and SCL pins. The micro-
processor must toggle the SDA pin HIGH to LOW period-
ically, while SCL also toggles from HIGH to LOW (this is
a start bit) followed by a stop condition prior to the expira-
tion of the watchdog time out period to prevent a WDO
signal going active. The state of two nonvolatile control
bits in the Status Register determines the watchdog timer
period. The microprocessor can change these watchdog
bits by writing to the X40010/11/14/15 control register
(also refer to page 19).

Setting a V
TRIPx
Voltage (x = 1, 2)
There are two procedures used to set the threshold
voltages (V
TRIPx
), depending if the threshold voltage to
be stored is higher or lower than the present value. For
example, if the present V
TRIPx
is 2.9 V and the new
V
TRIPx
is 3.2 V, the new voltage can be stored directly
into the V
TRIPx
cell. If however, the new setting is to be
lower than the present setting, then it is necessary to
“reset” the V
TRIPx
voltage before setting the new value.
Setting a Higher V
TRIPx
Voltage (x = 1, 2)
To set a V
TRIPx
threshold to a new voltage which is
higher than the present threshold, the user must apply
the desired V
TRIPx
threshold voltage to the corre-
sponding input pin Vcc(V1MON), or V2MON. The
Vcc(V1MON) and V2MON must be tied together dur-
ing this sequence. Then, a programming voltage (Vp)
must be applied to the WDO pin before a START con-
dition is set up on SDA. Next, issue on the SDA pin the
Slave Address A0h, followed by the Byte Address 01h
for V
TRIP1
and 09h for V
TRIP2
, and a 00h Data Byte in
order to program V
TRIPx
. The STOP bit following a
valid write operation initiates the programming
sequence. Pin WDO must then be brought LOW to
complete the operation.
Note:
This operation does not corrupt the memory
array.
Setting a Lower V
TRIPx
Voltage (x = 1, 2)
In order to set V
TRIPx
to a lower voltage than the
present value, then V
TRIPx
must first be “reset” accord-
ing to the procedure described below. Once V
TRIPx
has been “reset”, then V
TRIPx
can be set to the desired
voltage using the procedure described in “Setting a
Higher V
TRIPx
Voltage”.

V1 AND V2 THRESHOLD PROGRAM PROCEDURE
(OPTIONAL)
The X40010/11/14/15is shipped with standard V1 and
V2 threshold (V
TRIP1,
V
TRIP2
) voltages. These values
will not change over normal operating and storage
conditions. However, in applications where the stan-
dard thresholds are not exactly right, or if higher preci-
sion is needed in the threshold value, the
X40010/11/14/15trip points may be adjusted. The pro-
cedure is described below, and uses the application of
a high voltage control signal.

Resetting the V
TRIPx
Voltage
To reset a V
TRIPx
voltage, apply the programming volt-
age (Vp) to the WDO pin before a START condition is
set up on SDA. Next, issue on the SDA pin the Slave
Address A0h followed by the Byte Address 03h for
V
TRIP1
and 0Bh for V
TRIP2
, followed by 00h for the
Data Byte in order to reset V
TRIPx
. The STOP bit fol-
lowing a valid write operation initiates the program-
ming sequence. Pin WDO must then be brought LOW
to complete the operation.
After being reset, the value of V
TRIPx
becomes a nomi-
nal value of 1.7V or lesser.
Note:
This operation does not corrupt the memory
array.
CONTROL REGISTER
The Control Register provides the user a mechanism
for changing the Block Lock and Watchdog Timer set-
tings. The Block Lock and Watchdog Timer bits are
nonvolatile and do not change when power is removed.
The Control Register is accessed with a special pream-
ble in the slave byte (1011) and is located at address
1FFh. It can only be modified by performing a byte write
operation directly to the address of the register and only

one data byte is allowed for each register write opera-
tion. Prior to writing to the Control Register, the WEL
and RWEL bits must be set using a two step process,
with the whole sequence requiring 3 steps. See "Writing
to the Control Registers" on page 7.
The user must issue a stop, after sending this byte to
the register, to initiate the nonvolatile cycle that stores
WD1, WD0, PUP1, PUP0, BP1, and BP0. The
X40010/11/14/15 will not acknowledge any data bytes
written after the first byte is entered.
The state of the Control Register can be read at any
time by performing a random read at address 01Fh,
using the special preamble. Only one byte is read by
each register read operation. The master should sup-
ply a stop condition to be consistent with the bus pro-
tocol, but a stop is not required to end this operation.
