Mode
The long watchdog mode allows cyclical wake-up of the microcontroller during sleep mode. As
in short watchdog mode, there is a disable time, t
nal is accepted. The watchdog can be switched from the short trigger window to the long trigger
window with a “high” potential at the mode pin (pin 3). In contrast to the short watchdog mode,
the time periods are now much longer and the enable output remains inactive so that other com-
ponents can be switched off to effect a further decrease in current consumption. As soon as a
wake-up signal at the wake-up input (pins 1) is detected, the long watchdog mode ends, a reset
pulse wakes-up the sleeping microcontroller and the normal monitoring cycle starts with the
mode switch-over time.

The watchdog can be switched back from the long to the short watchdog mode with a low poten-
tial at the mode pin (pin 3).
The Reset-out pin functionality is guaranteed for supply voltage down to 1V. In case of a voltage
drop, the microcontroller gets a reset up to that value.
