PRODUCTION DATA
The TPS3823A can be used to monitor the supply rail for devices such as microcontrollers. The downstream device is enabled by the TPS3823A once the voltage on the supply pin (VDD) is above the internal threshold voltage (VIT– + VHYS). The downstream device is disabled by the TPS3823A when VDD falls below the threshold voltage minus the hysteresis voltage (VIT–). The TPS3823A also issues a reset signal if the WDI input is not periodically triggered by a positive or negative transition at WDI. When the supervising system fails to retrigger the watchdog circuit within the time-out interval, ttout, RESET becomes active for the time period td.
Some applications require a shorter reset signal than the 200 ms that most of the TPS382x family provide. In these cases, the TPS3820 is a good choice because it has a delay time of only 25 ms. If an open-drain output is required, replace the TPS3823A with the TPS3828 (if the WDI input must be active while RESET is low, see Decoupling WDI During Reset Event). Figure 9-1 shows the TPS3823A in a typical application.
