TPS3705: How to latch WDO/

Expert 4630 points
Part Number: TPS3705

Dear e2e,

Could you confirm that WDO/ is a high impedance output?

My customer would need to latch the WDO/ to not get the cycling phenomena (explained here )

Do we have other supervisor? or other trick than the App Note SNVA837?

Regards,

  • Hello,

    WDO is not high impedance and is active low. 

    We do have a latching watchdog and supervisor device to release early next year. To help us understand the opportunity, do you know the production timeline for the customer?

    Are you able to provide the timing requirements for WD?

    Thanks,

    Walter

  • Hello, 

    Production of the new prototypes is scheduled for the end of the year.

    With the following diagram, the WDO/ output is at 3.3V when the WDI signal oscillates and the WDO/ output falls to 0V when the WDI signal no longer oscillates.

    The WDO/ signal remains at 0V, it doesn't rise again. Is it a normal behavior ?

    
    

    Thank you

  • Hello Nicolas,

    WDO/ should output periodic pulses when WDI is not oscillating. If WDI is disconnected the watchode will be disabled.

    WDO/ and RESET/ are CMOS outputs and should not be connected together. This may be causing your issue.

    Thanks,

    Walter
