SBVS286B March 2017 – July 2025 TPS3851-Q1
PRODUCTION DATA
Adjustable capacitor timing is achievable by connecting a capacitor to the CWD pin. If a capacitor is connected to CWD, then a 375nA, constant-current source charges CCWD until VCWD = 1.21V. Table 7-2 shows how to calculate tWD using Equation 1, Equation 2, and the SET1 pin. The TPS3851-Q1 determines the watchdog timeout with the formulas given in Equation 1 and Equation 2, where CCWD is in nanofarads and tWD is in milliseconds.
The TPS3851-Q1 is designed and tested using CCWD capacitors between 100pF and 1µF. Equation 1 and Equation 2 are for ideal capacitors; capacitor tolerances vary the actual device timing. For the most accurate timing, use ceramic capacitors with COG dielectric material. If a CCWD capacitor is used, Equation 1 can be used to set tWD for standard timing. Use Equation 2 to calculate tWD for extended timing. Table 7-3 shows the minimum and maximum calculated tWD values using an ideal capacitor for both standard and extended timing.
