C
As long as ENABLE is high or ENABLE is low and the
Watchdog signal is normal, V
OUT
will be at 5V (typ). If
ENABLE is low and the Watchdog signal moves outside
programmable limits, the output transistor turns off and
the IC goes into SLEEP mode. Only the ENABLE circuitry
in the IC remains powered up, drawing a quiescent cur-
rent of 250μA.
The Watchdog monitors the frequency of an incoming
WDI signal. If the signal falls outside of the WDI window,
a frequency programmable pulse train is generated at the
lead (Figure 3) until the correct Watchdog input
signal reappears at the lead (ENABLE = HIGH).
The lower and upper window threshold limits of the
watchdog function are set by the value of C
DELAY
. The lim-
its are determined according to the following equations for
the CS8140:

Application Notes
The CS8140 with its unique integration of linear regulator
and control features:
, ENABLE and WATCHDOG,
provides a single IC solution for a microprocessor power
supply. The reset delay, reset duration and watchdog fre-
quency limits are all determined by a single capacitor. For
a particular microprocessor the overriding requirement is
usually the reset delay (also known as power on reset).
The capacitor is chosen to meet this requirement and the
reset duration and watchdog frequency follow.
The reset delay is given by:
t
POR(typ)
= (4.75
x

)C
DELAY
Assume that the reset delay must be 200ms minimum.
From the CS8140 data sheet the reset delay has a ±37% tol-
erance due to the regulator.
Assume the capacitor tolerance is ±10%.
