V4MON
V4MON is a low voltage monitoring input that controls the RESET
function of an external device or provides a comparator output,
V4OUT. The V4MON pin is monitored by a comparator to detect an
undervoltage condition. It is designed with 5% hysteresis.
When the V4MON input drops below the programmed UV thresh-
old, the comparator becomes active immediately, indicating that
a UV condition has occurred. Due to hysteresis, the V4MON input
must be brought above the programmed UV threshold by 5%
before the comparator becomes inactive, indicating that the UV
condition has gone away (see Figure 11).

The V4MON comparator is used to control the V4OUT pin and (in
conjunction with a hold timer) to control the RESET pin. To
configure V4MON to control the RESET pin, set Register 0x0D[3]
to 0. Setting this bit to 1 prevents V4MON from causing RESET to
activate. The default setting is V4MON does not cause RESET to
activate.
V4MON input voltage range is up to 30 V. It has an 8-step
programmable reset threshold (Register 0x06) from 1.67 V
to 7.96 V, with an 8-step 0.1 ms to 200 ms reset hold time
(tRS_HOLD).

RESET
The V4MON, RESET, and V4OUT timing diagrams are shown in
Figure 12. The range of thresholds is shown in Table 6, and the
programming code for the selected threshold is found in Table 8.
The default monitoring threshold is 7.54 V. Similarly, the range
of reset hold time is shown in Table 8, and the programming
code of the selected timing is found in Table 9.
V4MON exhibits typical input resistance of 675 kΩ that users
should take into account for loading effect.
WATCHDOG INPUT
The watchdog input (WDI) circuit attempts to reset the system
to a known good state if a software or hardware glitch renders
the system processor inactive for a duration that is longer than
the timeout period. The timeout period, tWD, is programmable
in eight steps from 100 ms to 2000 ms. The watchdog circuit is
independent of any CPU clock that the watchdog is monitoring.
The range of watchdog timeout is shown in Table 8, and the
programming code of the selected timeout is found in Table 9.
The default timeout is 1500 ms.
The watchdog is disabled during power-up. WDI starts monitor-
ing once RESET is high. The AD5100 provides a standard or
advanced watchdog monitoring function. Register 0x0F[3] sets
the watchdog function to either standard or advanced mode.
This bit can be fixed in OTP memory.
• Register 0x0F[3] = 0: standard watchdog mode (Default)
• Register 0x0F[3] = 1: advanced watchdog mode
