TCAN4550: The watchdog whether be impacted when GPO1, GPO2 is not connected

Part Number: TCAN4550

Hi Expert,

In customer's design, the GPO1, GPO2 of TCAN4550 is not connected.

The engineer is asking the impact of watchdog function?

Thanks

Eric

  • Hi Eric,

    If they want to use the watchdog function, there are two ways of setting the trigger bit.  The GPIO1 pin can be configured to reset the timer on a rising or falling edge.  The other option is a SPI write to 0x0800[18].

    If the GPIO1 pin is not connected, and they want to use the watchdog function, they will have to use the SPI option for resetting the timer.

    Regards,
