DESCRIPTION

These devices combine four popular functions, Power-on Reset Control, Watchdog Timer, Supply Voltage Supervision, and Block Lock Protect Serial EEPROM Memory in one package. This combination lowers system cost, reduces board space requirements, and increases reliability.

FEATURES

• Selectable watchdog timer

• Low VCC detection and reset assertion

   —Five standard reset threshold voltages

   —Re-program low VCC reset threshold voltage using special programming sequence

   —Reset signal valid to VCC = 1V

• Determine watchdog or low voltage reset with a volatile flag bit

• Long battery life with low power consumption

   —<50µA max standby current, watchdog on

   —<1µA max standby current, watchdog off

   —<400µA max active current during read

• 32Kbits of EEPROM

• Built-in inadvertent write protection

   —Power-up/power-down protection circuitry

   —Protect 0, 1/4, 1/2 or all of EEPROM array with Block Lock™ protection

   —In circuit programmable ROM mode

• 2MHz SPI interface modes (0,0 & 1,1)

• Minimize EEPROM programming time

   —32-byte page write mode

   —Self-timed write cycle

   —5ms write cycle time (typical)

• 2.7V to 5.5V and 4.5V to 5.5V power supply operation

• Available packages

   —14 Ld TSSOP, 8 Ld SOIC, 8 Ld PDIP

• Pb-free plus anneal available (RoHS compliant)
