5V Automotive Regulator with Windowed Watchdog
Description
The EM6152A offers a high level of integration by combining
voltage regulation, voltage monitoring and software
monitoring using a windowed watchdog.
A comparator monitors the voltage applied at the V
IN
input
comparing it with an internal voltage reference V
REF
. The
power-on reset function is initialized after V
IN
reaches V
REF
and takes the reset output inactive after a delay T
POR
depending on external resistance R
OSC
. The reset output goes
active low when the V
IN
voltage is less than V
REF
. The
RES
and
EN
outputs are guaranteed to be in a correct state for a
regulated output voltage as low as 1.2 V. The watchdog
function monitors software cycle time and execution.
If software clears the watchdog too quickly (incorrect cycle
time) or too slowly (incorrect execution) it will cause the
system to be reset. For enhanced security, the watchdog
must be serviced within an "open" time window. During the
remaining time, the watchdog time window is "closed" and a
reset will occur should a
TCL
pulse be received by the
watchdog during this "closed" time window. The ratio of the
open/closed window is either 33%/67% or 67%/33%.
The system ENABLE output prevents critical control functions
being activated until software has successfully cleared the
watchdog three times. Such a security could be used to
prevent motor controls being energized on repeated resets of
a faulty system.
When the microcontroller goes in stand-by mode or stops
working, no signal is received on the
TCL
input of the
EM6152A (version 55) and it goes into a stand-by mode in
order to save power (CAN-bus sleep detector).
In EM6152A, the voltage regulator has a low dropout voltage
and a low quiescent current of 90
A. The quiescent current
increases only slightly in dropout prolonging battery life. Built-
in protection includes a positive transient absorber for up to
45 V (load dump) and the ability to survive an unregulated
input voltage of -42 V (reverse battery). The input may be
connected to ground or to a reverse voltage without reverse
current flowing from the output to the input.

Stresses above these listed maximum ratings may cause
permanent damages to the device. Exposure beyond
specified operating conditions may affect device reliability or
cause malfunction.
Decoupling Methods
The input capacitor is necessary to compensate the line
influences. A resistor of approx. 1
connected in series
with the input capacitor may be used to damp the oscillation
of the input capacitor and input inductance. The ESR value
of the capacitor plays a major role regarding the efficiency of
the decoupling. It is recommended also to connect a
ceramic capacitor (100 nF) directly at the IC's pins. In
general the user must assure that pulses on the input line
have slew rates lower than 1 V/s. On the output side, the
capacitor is necessary for the stability of the regulation
circuit. The stability is guaranteed for values of 10 F or
greater. It is especially important to choose a capacitor with
a low ESR value. Tantalum capacitors are recommended.
See the notes related to Table 2. Special care must be
taken in disturbed environments (automotive, proximity of
motors and relays, etc.).
Handling Procedures
This device has built-in protection against high static
voltages or electric fields; however, it is advised that normal
precautions be taken as for any other CMOS component.
Unless otherwise specified, proper operation can only occur
when all terminal voltages are kept within the voltage range.
At any time, all inputs must be tied to a defined logic voltage
level.

Note 1: full operation guaranteed. To achieve the load regulation specified in Table 3 a 22
F capacitor or greater is required on the INPUT,
see Fig. 1b. The 22
F must have an effective resistance
4
and a resonant frequency above 500 kHz.
Note 2: a
10
F load capacitor and a 100 nF decoupling capacitor are required on the regulator OUTPUT for stability. The 10
F must have
an effective series resistance of
4
and a resonant frequency above 500 kHz.
Note 3:
RES
must be pulled up externally to V
OUTPUT
even if it is unused. ( RES and EN
are used as inputs by EM test)
Note 4: the OUTPUT current will not apply to the full range of input voltage. Power dissipation that would require the EM6152A to work above
the maximum junction temperature (+125C) must be avoided.
Note 5: the thermal resistance specified assumes the package is soldered to a PCB. A typical value of 51C/W has been obtained with a dual
layer board, with the slug soldered to the heat-sink area of the PCB (See Figure 16)

Note 1: if INPUT is connected to V

, no reverse current will flow from the OUTPUT to the INPUT, however the supply current specified will be
sank by the OUTPUT to supply the EM6152A.
Note 2: regulation is measured at constant junction temperature using pulse testing with a low duty cycle. Changes in OUTPUT voltage due to
heating effects are covered in the specification for thermal regulation.
Note 3: the dropout voltage is defined as the INPUT to OUTPUT differential, measured with the input voltage equal to 5.0 V.
Note 4: output voltage temperature coefficient is defined as the change in OUTPUT voltage after a change in power dissipation is applied,
excluding load or line regulation effects.
Note 5: the comparator and the voltage regulator have separate voltage references (see "Block Diagram" Fig. 3).
Note 6: the comparator reference is the power-down reset threshold. The power-on reset threshold equals the comparator reference voltage
plus the comparator hysteresis (see Fig. 5).
