DESCRIPTION
The DS1238 MicroManager provides all the necessary functions for power supply monitoring, reset
control, and memory backup in microprocessor-based systems. A precise internal voltage reference and
comparator circuit monitor power supply status. When an out-of-tolerance condition occurs, the
microprocessor reset and power-fail outputs are forced active, and static RAM control unconditionally
write protects external memory. The DS1238 also provides early warning detection of a user-defined
threshold by driving a non-maskable interrupt. External reset control is provided by a pushbutton reset

debounce circuit connected to the RST pin. An internal watchdog timer can also force the reset outputs to
the active state if the strobe input is not driven low prior to watchdog timeout. Oscillator control pins
OSCSEL and OSCIN provide either external or internal clock timing for both the reset pulse width and
the watchdog timeout period. The Watchdog Status and Reset Voltage Threshold are provided via WDS
and RVT , respectively. A block diagram of the DS1238 is shown in Figure 1.

POWER MONITOR
The DS1238 employs a band gap voltage reference and a precision comparator to monitor the 5-volt
supply (VCC) in microprocessor-based systems. When an out-of-tolerance condition occurs, the RVT ,
RST, and RST outputs are driven to the active state. The VCC trip point (VCCTP) is set for 10% operation
so that the RVT , RST and RST outputs will become active as VCC falls below 4.5 volts (4.37 typical).
The VCCTP for the 5% operation option (DS1238-5) is set for 4.75 volts (4.62 typical). The RST and RST
signals are excellent for microprocessor reset control, as processing is stopped at the last possible moment
of in-tolerance VCC. On power up, RVT will become inactive as soon as VCC rises above VCCTP. However,
the RST and RST signals remain active for a minimum of 50 ms (100 ms typical) after VCCTP is reached
to allow the power supply and microprocessor to stabilize.

DS1238 FUNCTIONAL BLOCK DIAGRAM Figure 1
WATCHDOG TIMER
The DS1238 provides a watchdog timer function which forces the WDS , RST, and RST signals to the
active state when the strobe input ( ST ) is not stimulated for a predetermined time period. This time period
is described below in Table 1. The watchdog timeout period begins as soon as RST and RST are inactive.
If a high-to-low transition occurs at the ST input prior to timeout, the watchdog timer is reset and begins
to time out again. The ST input timing is shown in Figure 2. In order to guarantee that the watchdog timer
does not time out, a high-to-low transition on ST must occur at or less than the minimum timeout of the
watchdog as described in the AC Electrical Characteristics. If the watchdog timer is allowed to time out,
the WDS , RST, and RST outputs are driven to the active state. WDS is a latched signal which indicates
the watchdog status, and is activated as soon as the watchdog timer completes a full period as outlined in
3 of 14
DS1238
Table 1. The WDS pin will remain low until one of three operations occurs. The first is to strobe the ST
pin with a falling edge, which will both set the WDS as well as the watchdog timer count. The second is
to leave the ST pin open, which disables the watchdog. Lastly, the WDS pin is active low whenever VCC
falls below VCCTP and activates the RVT signal. The ST input can be derived from microprocessor
address, data, or control signals, as well as microcontroller port pins. Under normal operating conditions,
these signals would routinely reset the watchdog timer prior to time out. The watchdog is disabled by
leaving the ST input open, or as soon as VCC falls to VCCTP.
NON-MASKABLE INTERRUPT
The DS1238 generates a non-maskable interrupt ( NMI ) for early warning of a power failure to the
microprocessor. A precision comparator monitors the voltage level at the IN pin relative to an on-chip
reference generated by an internal band gap. The IN pin is a high impedance input allowing for a userdefined sense point. An external resistor voltage divider network (Figure 5) is used to interface with high
voltage signals. This sense point may be derived from the regulated 5-volt supply, or from a higher DC
voltage level closer to the main system power input. Since the IN trip point VTP is 1.27 volts, the proper
values for R1 and R2 can be determined by the equation as shown in Figure 5. Proper operation of the
DS1238 requires that the voltage at the IN pin be limited to VIH. Therefore, the maximum allowable
voltage at the supply being monitored (VMAX) can also be derived as shown in Figure 5. A simple
approach to solving this equation is to select a value for R2 of high enough value to keep power
consumption low and solve for R1. The flexibility of the IN input pin allows for detection of power loss
at the earliest point in a power supply system, maximizing the amount of time for microprocessor
shutdown between NMI and RST or RST .
When the supply being monitored decays to the voltage sense point, the DS1238 will force the NMI
output to an active state. Noise is removed from the NMI power-fail detection circuitry using built-in
time domain hysteresis. That is, the monitored supply is sampled periodically at a rate determined by an
internal ring oscillator running at approximately 30kHz (33 µs/cycle). Three consecutive samplings of
out-of-tolerance supply (below VSENSE) must occur at the IN pin to active NMI . Therefore, the supply
must be below the voltage sense point for approximately 100 µs or the comparator will reset. In this way,
power supply noise is removed from the monitoring function preventing false trips. During a power-up,
any IN pin levels below VTP detected by the comparator are disabled from reaching the NMI I pin until
VCC rises to VCCTP. As a result, any potential active NMI will not be initiated until VCC reaches VCCTP.
Removal of an active low level on the NMI pin is controlled by the subsequent rise of the IN pin above
VTP. The initiation and removal of the NMI signal during power up depends on the relative voltage
relationship between VCC and the IN pin voltage. Note that a fast-slewing power supply may cause the
NMI to be virtually nonexistent on power up. This is of no consequence, however, since an RST will be
active. The NMI voltage will follow VCC down until VCC decays to VBAT. Once VCC decays to V BAT , the
NMI pin will enter a tri-state mode.

MEMORY BACKUP
The DS1238 provides all of the necessary functions required to battery back a static RAM. First, an
internal switch is provided to supply SRAM power from the primary 5-volt supply (VCC) or from an
external battery (VBAT), whichever is greater. Second, the same power-fail detection described in the
power monitor section is used to hold the chip enable output ( CEO ) to within 0.3 volts of VCC or to within
0.7 volts of VBAT. The output voltage diode drop from VBAT (0.7 V) is necessary to prevent charging of
the battery in violation of UL standards. Write protection occurs as VCC falls below VCCTP as specified. If
CEI is low at the time power-fail detection occurs, CEO is held in its present state until CEI is returned
high, or the period tCE expires. This delay of write protection until the current memory cycle is completed
prevents the corruption of data. If CEO is in an inactive state at the time of VCC fail detection, CEO will
be unconditionally disabled within tCF. During nominal supply conditions CEO will follow CEI with a
maximum propagation delay of 20 ns. Figure 7 shows a typical nonvolatile SRAM application.
FRESHNESS SEAL
In order to conserve battery capacity during storage and/or shipment of an end system, the DS1238
provides an internal freshness seal to electrically disconnect the battery. Figure 8 depicts the three pulses
below ground on the IN pin required to invoke the freshness seal. The freshness seal will result in the tristate of outputs VCCO, RST, RST , and CEO . The WDS output will be driven active low. The PF pin is not
disabled by the freshness mode and will continue to source power from the VBAT pin whenever VCC is
below VBAT. The freshness seal will be disconnected and normal operation will begin when VCC is cycled
and reapplied to a level above VBAT.
To prevent negative pulses associated with noise from setting the freshness mode in system applications,
a series diode and resistor can be used to shunt noise to ground. During manufacturing, the freshness seal
can still be set by holding TP2 at -3 volts while applying the 0 to -3-volt clock to TP1.
POWER SWITCHING
When larger operating currents are required in a battery-backed system, the internal switching devices of
the DS1238 may be too small to support the required load through VCCO with a reasonable voltage drop.
For these applications, the PF output is provided to gate external power switching devices. As shown in
Figure 9, power to the load is switched from VCC to battery on power-down, and from battery to VCC on
power-p. The DS1336 is designed to use the PF output to switch between VBAT and VCC. It provides
better leakage and switchover performance than currently available discrete components. The transition
threshold for PF is set to the external battery voltage VBAT, allowing a smooth transition between sources.
Any load applied to the PF pin by an external switch will be supplied by the battery. Therefore, if a
discrete switch is used, this load should be taken into consideration when sizing the battery.

TIMING DIAGRAMS
This section provides a description of the timing diagrams shown in Figure 10 and Figure 11. Figure 10
illustrates the relationship for power down. As VCC falls, the IN pin voltage drops below VTP. As a result,
the processor is notified of an impending power failure via an active NMI . This gives the processor time
to save critical data in nonvolatile SRAM. As the power falls further, VCC crosses VCCTP, the power
monitor trip point. When VCC reaches VCCTP, and active RST and RST are given. At this time, CEO is
brought high to write-protect the RAM. When the VCC reaches VBAT, a power-fail is issued via the PF pin.
Figure 11 shows the power-up sequence. As VCC slews above VBAT, the PF pin is deactivated. An active
reset occurs as well as an NMI . Although the NMI may be short due to slew rates, reset will be
maintained for the standard tRPU timeout period . At a later time, if the IN pin falls below VTP, a new NMI
will occur. If the processor does not issue an ST , a watchdog reset will also occur. The second NMI and
RST are provided to illustrate these possibilities.
