| General description |
The A6250 offers a high level of integration by combining voltage regulation, voltage monitoring and software monitoring in a 16 lead package. The voltage regulator (LDO) has a low dropout voltage (typ. 260mV at 250mA) and a low quiescent current (175mA). The quiescent current increases only slightly in dropout prolonging battery life. Built-in protection includes a positive transient absorber for up to 60V (load dump) and the ability to survive an unregulated input voltage of -20V (reverse battery). The input may be connected to ground or a reverse voltage without reverse current flow from the output to the input. Comparator monitors the voltage applied at the VIN input comparing it with an internal 1.52V reference. The power-on reset function is initialized after VIN reaches 1.52V and takes the reset output inactive after TPOR depending of external resistance. The reset output goes active low when the VIN voltage is less than 1.52V. The /RES and /EN outputs are guaranteed to be in a correct state for a regulated output voltage as low as 1.2V. 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. 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.
