SNVSCF7A December 2022 – August 2024 TPS3435
PRODUCTION DATA
The TPS3435 supports watchdog startup delay feature. This feature is activated after power up or after WDO assert event. When tSD frame is active, the device monitors the WDI pin but the WDO output is not asserted. This feature allows time for the host complete boot process before watchdog monitoring can take over. The start up delay helps avoid unexpected WDO assert events during boot. The tSD time is predetermined based on the device part number selected. Refer Section 4 section for details to map the part number to tSD time. Pinout option A, B, K are available only in no delay or 10 sec start up delay options.
To exit tSD frame, one of the following event must occur:
Failure to provide one of the exit condition within tSD triggers the watchdog error by asserting the WDO output pin for tD, this is observed in Figure 7-8.
The tSD frame is not initiated when the watchdog functionality is enabled using WD-EN pin or SET[1:0] pin combination as described in Section 7.3.1.2 section.
Figure 7-8 shows the operation for tSD time frame.
