input which is debounced and activates reset outputs. An internal watchdog timer can also force the reset
outputs to the active state if the strobe input is not driven low prior to watchdog timeout. Reset control
and wake-up/sleep control inputs also provide the necessary signals for orderly shutdown and start-up in
battery backup and battery operated applications. A block diagram of the DS1236A is shown in NO TAG.
PIN DESCRIPTION
PROCESSOR MODE
A distinction is often made between CMOS and NMOS processor systems. In a CMOS system, power
consumption may be a concern, and nonvolatile operation is possible by battery backing both the SRAM
and the CMOS processor. All resources would be maintained in the absence of V
is not issued since the low-power mode of most CMOS processors (Stop) is terminated with a Reset. A
pulsed interrupt (
this case, a power-on reset is desirable to wake up and initialize the processor. The CMOS mode is
invoked by connecting RC to V
An NMOS processor consumes more power, and consequently may not be battery backed. In this case, it
is desirable to notify the processor of a power-fail, then keep it in reset during the loss of V
intermittent or aberrant operation. On power-up, the processor will continue to be reset until V
an operational level to provide an orderly start. The NMOS mode is invoked by connecting RC to ground.

Early warning power-fail input. This voltage sense point can be tied (via resistor
divider) to a user-selected voltage.
Non-maskable interrupt. Used in conjunction with the IN pin to indicate an impending
power failure.
Strobe input. A high-to-low transition will reset the watchdog timer, indicating that
software is still in control.
