EEPROM memory (16K) with hardware memory write
protection, a system power supervisor with brown out
protection and a watchdog timer are integrated
together in low power CMOS technology. Memory
interface is via an I
2
C bus.
The 1.6-second watchdog circuit returns a system to a
known good state if a software or hardware glitch
halts or “hangs” the system. The CAT1163 watchdog
monitors the WDI input pin.
The power supply monitor and reset circuit protects
memory and system controllers during power up/down
and against brownout conditions. Five reset threshold
voltages support 5V, 3.3V and 3V systems. If power
supply voltages are out of tolerance reset signals
become active, preventing the system microcontroller,
ASIC or peripherals from operating. Reset signals
become inactive typically 200ms after the supply
voltage exceeds the reset threshold level. With both
active high and low reset signals, interface to
microcontrollers and other ICs is simple. In addition, a
reset pin can be used as debounced input for push-
button manual reset capability.
The CAT1163 memory features a 16-byte page. In
addition, hardware data protection is provided by a
write protect pin WP and by a V
CC
sense circuit that
prevents writes to memory whenever V
CC
falls below
the reset threshold or until V
CC
reaches the reset
threshold during power up.
Available packages include an 8-pin DIP and a
surface mount, 8-pin SO package.

Notes:
(1) Stresses above those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings
only, and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions outside of those listed in the operational sections of this
specification is not implied. Exposure to any absolute maximum rating for extended periods may affect device performance and reliability.
(2) The minimum DC input voltage is –0.5V. During transitions, inputs may undershoot to –2.0V for periods of less than 20ns. Maximum DC
voltage on output pins is V

+2.0V for periods of less than 20 ns.
(3) Output shorted for no more than one second. No more than one output shorted at a time.
(4) This parameter is tested initially and after a design or process change that affects the parameter.

PIN DESCRIPTION
WDI: WATCHDOG INPUT
If there is no transition on the WDI for more than 1.6
seconds, the watchdog timer times out.
WP: WRITE PROTECT
If the pin is tied to V
CC
the entire memory array
becomes Write Protected (READ only). When the pin
is tied to GND or left floating normal read/write
operations are allowed to the device.
¯¯¯¯¯¯
RESET/RESET: RESET I/O
These are open drain pins and can be used as reset
trigger inputs. By forcing a reset condition on the pins
the device will initiate and maintain a reset condition.
The RESET pin must be connected through a pull-
¯¯¯¯¯¯
down resistor, and the RESET pin must be connected
through a pull-up resistor.
SDA: SERIAL DATA ADDRESS
The bidirectional serial data/address pin is used to
transfer all data into and out of the device. The SDA
pin is an open drain output and can be wire-ORed
with other open drain or open collector outputs.
SCL: SERIAL CLOCK
Serial clock input.
RESET outputs. During power-up, the RESET outputs
remain active until V
CC
reaches the V
TH
threshold and
will continue driving the outputs for approximately
200ms (t
PURST
) after reaching V
TH
. After the t
PURST
timeout interval, the device will cease to drive the
reset outputs. At this point the reset outputs will be
pulled up or down by their respective pull up/down
resistors. During power-down, the RESET outputs will
¯¯¯¯¯¯
be active when V
CC
falls below V
TH
. The RESET
outputs will be valid so long as V
CC
is >1.0V (V
RVALID
).
The RESET pins are I/Os; therefore, the CAT1163
can act as a signal conditioning circuit for an
externally applied manual reset. The inputs are edge
triggered; that is, the RESET input in the CAT1163 will
initiate a reset timeout after detecting a low to high
¯¯¯¯¯¯
transition and the RESET input in the CAT1163 will
initiate a reset timeout after detecting a high to low
transition.
Watchdog Timer
The Watchdog Timer provides an independent
protection for microcontrollers. During a system
failure, the CAT1163 will respond with a reset signal
after a time-out interval of 1.6 seconds for a lack of
activity. The CAT1163 is designed with the Watchdog
Timer feature on the WDI input. If the microcontroller
does not toggle the WDI input pin within 1.6 seconds,
the Watchdog Timer times out. This will generate a
reset condition on reset outputs. The Watchdog Timer
is cleared by any transition on WDI.
As long as the reset signal is asserted, the Watchdog
Timer will not count and will stay cleared.
DEVICE OPERATION
Reset Controller Description
The CAT1163 precision RESET controller ensures
correct system operation during brownout and power
up/down conditions. It is configured with open drain
