How does ADM693 shift the watchdog-timeout to?

Thread Summary

The user inquired about the watchdog timeout period for the ADM693 under varying VCC and temperature conditions. The support engineer provided bench test results for three samples, indicating that the timeout period varies with VCC and temperature. However, due to the age of the part, comprehensive design data and guaranteed specifications are unavailable. The engineer suggested using the ADM8693 for a well-defined watchdog timeout range.

Dear Sir/Madam,

As for your ADM693, our customer asked the following question to us.

I could not catch the answer on your datasheet.

So please let me know your comment.

The watchdog timeout period is showed min 1sec to max 2.25sec when VCC = 5V, TA = +25C.

Q-1

If VCC is shifted to 4.5V or 5.5V, then how should we think this value shifting?

eg; when 4.5V, shift min 0.9sec to max 2.15sec ? Otherwise same value?

Q-2

If TA is shifted to 0 to 70C, then how should we thinkthis value shifting?

eg; when around temp=0C, shift min 0.9sec to max 2.15sec ? Otherwise same value?

Please let me know the trend when the above conditions.

My expected reply as following chart if you have.

Thanks Kaos

  • Hi Kaos,

    To be able to come up with a maximum specification and guarantee it, ADI need to carry out a full yield analysis on this part, which is not viable at this stage.

    The best i can do for you is to bench test 3 parts for their watchdog timeout vs. supply and temperature.

    This will give you a typical performance characteristic of this specification.

    Will this be valued by your customer? or can they do the same on their existing system just as easy?

    once the typical number is known, your customer may add some margin to guard band the system.
