ZHCSL05C October 2019 – October 2023 TPS65313-Q1
PRODUCTION DATA
The TPS65313-Q device includes a closed-loop digital-watchdog (WD) function that operates in two different modes to monitor the external MCU. The WD requires specific triggers sent by the MCU as SPI messages based on specific, periodic requests (or questions) from the TPS65313-Q1 in both operating modes. The MCU must send the SPI trigger messages (or answers) at specific timing intervals to correctly service the device WD function, and enable operation of the safing path driver or MCU error interrupt (the ENDRV/nIRQ output pin).
Section 11.9.10.5.1 explains the WD initialization events.
