9.3.3 Enable Watchdog

For some automotive applications, it is necessary to continuously verify that there is valid communication between the microcontroller and the switch enable pin. The purpose of this is to protect against possible communication faults (for example, microcontroller failure). The \ includes an optional watchdog feature which continuously polls the enable pin. Note that this feature is only activated for device version E, so the below information is only applicable to version E.

To use the watchdog feature, the microcontroller should apply a PWM to the switch enable pin. If this PWM is not present (EN is high continuously for ≥ tWD) the switch will automatically be disabled. The watchdog timer is reset on the rising edge of EN. The fault indications are cleared upon the falling edge of EN. The following figure illustrates how the switch will respond to the EN PWM.

The watchdog feature requires that a PWM is applied to the switch enable pin. To maintain VOUT at 100% duty cycle, the microcontroller should periodically apply a short pulse to the enable pin. This short pulse will reset the watchdog timer, but will not cause the switch to turn-off. The pulse must be >5 μs to ensure that it is recognized by the device. There is no upper limit on the pulse width; however, if the pulse is longer than 20 μs, the switch may start to transition from enabled to disabled.

Figure 52 illustrates the behavior of the watchdog feature.
