8.3.2.1 tWD Timer

The tWD timer for TPS35-Q1 can be set using an external capacitor connected between CWD pin and GND pin. This feature is available with pinout options A or B. Applications which are space constrained or need timer values which meet offered timer options, can benefit when using pinout options C or D. The TPS35-Q1 offers multiple fixed timer options ranging from 1 msec up-to 100 sec.

The TPS35-Q1, when using capacitance based timer, senses the capacitance value during the power up or after a RESET event. The capacitor is charged and discharged with known internal current source for one cycle to sense the capacitance value. The sensed value is used to arrive at tWD timer for the watchdog operation. This unique implementation helps reduce the continuous charge and discharge current for the capacitor, thus reducing overall current consumption. Continuous charge and discharge of capacitance creates wider dead time (no watchdog monitor functionality) when capacitor is discharging. The dead time is higher for high value of capacitance. The unique implementation of TPS35-Q1 helps avoid the dead time as the capacitance is not continuously charging or discharging under normal operation. Ensure CCWD is < 200 x CCRST for accurate calibration of capacitance. Equation 4 highlights the relationship between tWD in second and CWD capacitance in farad. The tWD timer is 20% accurate for an ideal capacitor. Accuracy of the capacitance will have additional impact on the tWD time. Ensure the capacitance meets the recommended operating range. Capacitance outside the recommended range can lead to incorrect operation of the device.

Equation 1. tWD (sec) = 4.95 x 106 x CCWD (F)

The TPS35-Q1 also offers wide selection of high accuracy fixed timer options starting from 1 msec to 100 sec including various industry standard values. The TPS35-Q1 fixed time options are ±10% accurate for tWD ≥ 10 msec. For tWD < 10 msec, the accuracy is ±20%. tWD value relevant to application can be identified from the orderable part number. Refer Section 5 section to identify mapping of orderable part number to tWD value.

The TPS35-Q1 offers flexibility to change the tWD value on the fly by controlling the logic levels on the SETx pins. Section 8.3.2.4 section explains the advantages offered by this feature and the device behavior with various SETx pin combinations.
