default is 1.6sec. Select alternative timeout periods by
connecting an external capacitor from SWT to GND

tion). When V

WDO remains high if there is a transition or pulse at WDI
during the watchdog timeout period. The watchdog
function is disabled and WDO is a logic high when V
is below the reset threshold. If a system reset is desired
on every watchdog fault, simply diode-OR connect WDO
to MR (Figure 8). When a watchdog fault occurs in this
mode, WDO goes low, pulling MR low and causing a
reset pulse to be issued. As soon as reset is asserted,
the watchdog timer clears and WDO goes high. With
WDO connected to MR, a continuous high or low on WDI
will cause 200ms reset pulses to be issued every
1.6sec (SWT connected to V
asserted, if no transition occurs at WDI during the
watchdog timeout period, WDO goes low 70ns after the
falling edge of WDPO and remains low until the next tran-
sition at WDI (Figure 7). A single additional flip-flop can
force the system into a hardware shutdown if there are
two successive watchdog faults (Figure 8). When the
MAX792/MAX820 are operated from a 5V supply, WDO
has a 2 x TTL output characteristic.
As described in the preceding section, WDPO can be
used as the clock input to an external D flip-flop. Upon
the absence of a watchdog edge or pulse at WDI at the
end of a watchdog timeout period, WDPO will pulse low
for 1.7ms. The falling edge of WDPO precedes WDO by
70ns. Since WDO is high when WDPO goes low, the flip-
flop’s Q output remains high after WDO goes low (Figure
8). If the watchdog timer is not reset by a transition at

WDI, WDO remains low and the next WDPO following a
second watchdog timeout period clocks a logic low to
the Q output, pulling MR low and causing the
MAX792/MAX820 latch in reset. If the watchdog timer is
reset by a transition at WDI, WDO will go high and the
flip-flop’s Q output will remain high. Thus a system
shutdown is only caused by two successive watchdog
faults.
The SWT input controls the watchdog timeout period.
Connecting SWT to V
watchdog timeout period. Select an alternative watch-
dog timeout period by connecting a capacitor between
SWT and GND. Do not leave SWT floating and do not
connect it to ground. The following formula determines
the watchdog timeout period:
Watchdog Timeout Period =
where k = 27 for V
This applies for capacitor values in excess of 4.7nF. If
the watchdog function is unused, connect SWT to V

reset.
