LTC2917/LTC2918
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
LTC2917-B/LTC2918-B
For applications in which reliability is even more critical,
the LTC2917-B/LTC2918-B implements a windowed watch-
dog function by adding a lower boundary condition to the
standard watchdog function. If the WDI input receives a
falling edge prior to the watchdog lower boundary, the
part considers this a watchdog failure, and asserts ⎯ R ⎯ S ⎯ T
low (releasing again after the reset timeout period as
described above). The LTC2917-B/LTC2918-B WDI input
only responds to falling edges.
Setting the Watchdog Timeout Period
The watchdog timeout period is adjustable and can be
optimized for software execution. The watchdog timeout
period is adjusted by connecting a capacitor between WT
and ground. Given a specifi ed watchdog timeout period,
the capacitor is determined by:
For example, using a standard capacitor value of 0.047μF
would give a 3.4s watchdog timeout period.
Leaving WT open with no external capacitor generates
a timeout of approximately 3.2ms. Shorting WT to V
generates a timeout of approximately 1.6s. Connecting
WT to GND disables the watchdog function.

Manual Reset (LTC2918 Only)
The LTC2918 includes the ⎯ M ⎯ R pin for applications where a
manual reset is desired. ⎯ M ⎯ R is internally pulled up, making
it ready to interface with a push button with no external
components required. Asserting ⎯ M ⎯ R low when ⎯ R ⎯ S ⎯ T is high
initiates a reset, resulting in ⎯ R ⎯ S ⎯ T being asserted low for
the reset timeout time.
Shunt Regulator
The LTC2917 and LTC2918 contain an internal 6.2V shunt
regulator on the V
voltage supply. To operate the part from a supply higher
than 5.7V, the V
to the supply. See Figure 3. This resistor should be sized
according to the following equation:

and maximum of the supply.
As an example, consider operation from an automobile
battery which might dip as low as 10V or spike to 60V. We
must then pick a resistance between 10.86k and 12k.
