The RESET signal is asserted and maintained except when it is
triggered by the WDI, which is described in the
section. The
RESET signal is released after the programmable
hold time, t
RS_HOLD.
As shown in Figure 17, the RESET output is push-pull
configured with the rail voltage of V
3MON
.

SHUTDOWN WARNING, SHDNWARN
An early shutdown warning is available for the system processor
to identify the source of failure and take appropriate action
before shutting down the external devices. Whenever the
voltage at V
1MON
is detected as overvoltage or undervoltage,
or the voltage at V
2MON
falls below the threshold, SHDNWARN
outputs a Logic 0. If the processor sees a logic low on this pin,
the processor may issue an I
2
C read command to identify the
cause of failure reported in the fault detect/status register, at
Address 0x19. The processor may store the information in
external EEPROM as a record of failure history.
V
4OUT
OUTPUT
V
4OUT
is an open-drain output triggered by V
4MON
with a mini-
mum propagation delay, t
V4OUT_DELAY
. V
4OUT
can be used as a PWM
control over an external device or used as a monitoring signal.
Most applications using V
4OUT
require disabling of the V
4MON
triggered reset function. This function is disabled by writing to
Register 0x0D[2], and it is possible to fix the value of this bit in
OTP memory.
Register 0x0D[2] = 0: enables V
4MON
under threshold to activate
RESET
•
Register 0x0D[2] = 1: prevents V
4MON
under threshold from
activating RESET
