Manual Reset (MR)
The TPS3820-Q1, TPS3823-Q1, TPS3825-Q1, and TPS3828-Q1 devices offer a manual reset pin. The
EVM uses a 3-pin header for the MR pin of each device, and a jumper to connect the MR pin to VDD or
GND. When MR is pulled low, the RESET output will be asserted (low for RESET pins and high for
RESET pins). When this pin is pulled high or left floating, the reset output will be dependent on the supply
voltage and WDI inputs on devices with WDI pin.

Watchdog Input (WDI)
The TPS3820-Q1, TPS3823-Q1, TPS3824-Q1, and TPS3828-Q1 have a watchdog to monitor a
microcontroller. The EVM offers a 2-pin header for the WDI pin for each of these devices, and both header
pins are connected to the device WDI pin. The device requires a positive or negative transition on the WDI
pin within the t
tout
time to avoid asserting the reset. If the device does not receive a transition on WDI, it will
assert the reset output. When using the watchdog, the WDI pin should not exceed VDD by more than
0.3 V. When unused, the WDI pin can be left floating.
