• Manufacturer Part Number: U5020M-FP
• Description: Digital Window Watchdog Timer
• Manufacturer: TEMIC [TEMIC Semiconductors]

Figure 6 shows a correct trigger sequence. The positive
edge of the trigger signal starts a new monitoring cycle
with the disable time, t
the microcontroller the watchdog needs to be triggered
three times correctly before it sets its enable output. This
feature is used to activate or deactivate safety critical
components, which have to be switched to a certain
condition (emergency status) in the case of a micro-
controller malfunction. As soon as there is an incorrect
trigger sequence the enable signal is reset and it takes
again a three correct trigger sequence before enable is re-
set.

micro during the sleep mode. Like in the short watchdog
mode there is a disable time, t
which a trigger signal is accepted. The watchdog can be
switched from the short trigger window to the long trigger
window with a “high” potential at the mode pin (Pin 12).
In contrast to the short watchdog mode the time periods
are now much longer and the enable output remains
inactive that other components can be switched off to
effect a further decrease in current consumption. As soon
as a wake-up signal at one of the 6 wake up inputs (Pins
3 to 8) is detected, the long watchdog mode ends, a reset
pulse wakes-up the sleeping microcontroller and the
normal monitoring cycle starts with the mode switch-over
time.
With the help of a low or high potential at Pin 16 (time
switch) the long watchdog time can be selected in two
values.
