PRELIMINARY INFORMATION 1 TC1232 MICROPROCESSOR MONITOR 2 FEATURES GENERAL DESCRIPTION ■ The TC1232 is a fully-integrated processor supervisor. It provides three important functions to safeguard processor sanity: precision power on/off reset control, watchdog timer and external reset override. On power-up, the TC1232 holds the processor in the reset state for a minimum of 250msec after VCC is within tolerance to ensure a stable system start-up. Microprocessor sanity is monitored by the on-board watchdog circuit. The microprocessor must provide a periodic low-going signal on the ST input. Should the processor fail to supply this signal within the selected time-out period (150msec, 600msec or 1200msec), an out-of-control processor is indicated and the TC1232 issues a processor reset as a result. The outputs of the TC1232 are immediately driven active when the PB input is brought low by an external pushbutton switch or other electronic signal. When connected to a push-button switch, the TC1232 provides contact debounce. The TC1232 is packaged in a space-saving 8-pin plastic DIP or SOIC package and requires no external components. ■ ■ ■ ■ Precision Voltage Monitor .......................

When VCC is detected as below the preset level defined by TOL, the VCC comparator outputs the signals RST and RST. If TOL is connected to ground, the RST and RST signals become active as VCC falls below 4.75 volts. If TOL is connected to VCC, the RST and RST become active as VCC falls below 4.5 volts. Because the processing is stopped at the last possible moment of valid VCC, the RST and RST are excellent control signals for a µP. The reset outputs will remain in their active states until VCC has been continuously in-tolerance for a minimum of 250msec allowing the power supply and µP to stabilize before RST is released. mode and set it low while in the background or interrupt mode. If both modes do not execute correctly, the watchdog timer issues reset pulses. Supply Monitor Noise Sensitivity The TC1232 is optimized for fast response to negativegoing changes in VDD. Systems with an inordinate amount of electrical noise on VDD (such as systems using relays), may require a 0.01µF or 0.1µF bypass capacitor to reduce detection sensitivity. This capacitor should be installed as close to the TC1232 as possible to keep the capacitor lead length short. +5V VCC Push-button Reset Input TD ST PB RST The debounced manual reset input (PB RST) manually forces the reset outputs into their active states. Once PB RST has been low for a time tPBD, the push-button delay time, the reset outputs go active. The reset outputs remain in their active states for a minimum of 250msec after PB RST rises above VIH (Figure 3). A mechanical push-button or active logic signal can drive the PB RST input. The debounced input ignores input pulses less than 1msec and is guaranteed to recognize pulses of 20msec or greater. No external pull-up resistor is required because the PB RST input has an internal pull-up to VCC of approximately 100µA. I/O MICROPROCESSOR RST RESET TC1232 GND TOL Figure 1. Push-button Reset Watchdog Timer When the ST input is not stimulated for a preset time period, the watchdog timer function forces RST and RST signals to the active state. The preset time period is determined by the TD inputs to be 150msec with TD connected to ground, 600msec with TD floating, or 1200msec with TD connected to VCC, typical. The watchdog timer starts timing out from the set time period as soon as RST and RST are inactive. If a high-to-low transition occurs on the ST input pin prior to time-out, the watchdog timer is reset and begins to time-out again. If the watchdog timer is allowed to time-out, then the RST and RST signals are driven to the active state for 250msec minimum (Figure 2). The software routine that strobes ST is critical. The code must be in a section of software that is executed frequently enough so the time between toggles is less than the watchdog time-out period. One common technique controls the µP I/O line from two sections of the program. The software might set the I/O line high while operating in the foreground 5-22 +5V 10KΩ 3 -TERMINAL REGULATOR +5V VCC 0.1 µF RST RESET MICROPROCESSOR TC1232 ST TD I/O TOL GND Figure 2.
