SLDU028A January 2018 – March 2020 TPS65313-Q1
To enable the device transition to the DIAGNOSTIC or ACTIVE state, the question and answer (Q&A) watchdog must be enabled and configured correctly. The device has two options for watchdog Q&A configurations: mode 0 and mode 1. The TPS65313-Q1 device exchanges questions and answers with the USB2ANY MCU within the timing specified in the timing fields on the GUI.
The default timing configurations are set when GUI is opened. When the device is in the SAFE state, enable the Enable Q&A Watchdog button to start the watchdog and sync it with MCU. When the watchdog is successfully synced, the WD fail counter starts to decrease and reaches 0.
When the watchdog is synced when the device is in the SAFE state, the SAFE to DIAGNOSTIC button can be clicked to make the device to go to the DIAGNOSTIC state. When the device is in the DIAGNOSTIC state, the DIAGNOSTIC to ACTIVE button can be clicked to put the device in the ACTIVE state.
If users want to try the different watchdog timing settings, adjust the watchdog timing settings only when the device is in the DIAGNOSTIC.
Figure 5 shows the timing diagram for the watchdog windows. Each setting or field in the GUI is defined as follows:
Section 11 describes the watchdog implementation on the MSP430™ MCU on the EVM.
