Philips Semiconductors
System reset with built-in watchdog timer
Product data
NE56605-42
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The NE56605-42 is designed to generate a reset signal, at a
threshold voltage of 4.2 V, for a variety of microprocessor and logic
systems. Accurate reset signals are generated during momentary
power interruptions, or whenever power supply voltages sag to
intolerable levels. The NE56605-42 has a built-in Watchdog Timer to
monitor the microprocessor and ensure it is operating properly. Any
abnormal system operations due to microprocessor malfunctions
are terminated by the watchdog’s generating a system reset. The
NE56605-42 has a watchdog monitoring time of 10 ms (typical).
The NE56605-42 is offered in the SO8 surface mount package.
FEATURES

• Internal watchdog timer programmable with external capacitor
• Watchdog monitoring time of 10 ms
• Reset assertion with VCC down to 0.8 VDC (typical)
• Few external components required.
APPLICATIONS
• Microcomputer systems
• Logic systems.
