HA16117F Series
Internal Operation and Usage Notes
Figure 3 shows an equivalent circuit of the watchdog timer block with a VCC pin level of 5 V and ACC pin level of 0 V,
and the following pages show internal operation timing charts for different P-RUN frequencies. (Descriptions apply to
conditions CF = 0.01 µF, CR = 0.1 µF, R2/(R1 + R2) = 0.6.)
Operation
The power-on and auto-reset circuit is a multivibrator with timing controlled by CR charge current I1 and discharge
current I2. As I1 : I2 ≈ 3 : 1 (Typ design value), when the (WD) (watchdog filter circuit output) on-duty is 25% or above,
the CR pin potential does not fall below 1.6 V. Therefore, (C) in the figure below is fixed low, and RES is not output.
The (WD) on-duty varies according to the P-RUN frequency. If the frequency is lower or higher than the design value,
the (WD) on-duty decreases, and at 25% or below, RES is output. Refer to the timing charts on the following pages for
an explanation of the operation of the watchdog filter.
Usage Notes
• When the P-RUN frequency reaches 20 kHz or above, tOFF is short (see the timing charts on the following pages).
This must be borne in mind in the design stage.
• If the P-RUN frequency fluctuates, RES may also be output within the normal detection set frequency (see the
timing charts on the following pages).
• Detection frequencies fH and fL described in the Data Book are Typ values, and a certain amount of dispersion can
be expected. A margin of ±30% or more should be allowed for in the design.
