5, 6, 15, 16
Connected these pins to a heat spreader ground
Reset output.
3

It is pulled down when output voltage goes below Vo_th
or frequency at Wi is too low.
Leave floating if not used.
Reset timing adjust.
4
10
A capacitor between Vcr pin and gnd, sets the reset
delay time (trd)
Watchdog timer adjust
5
11
A capacitor between Vcw pin and gnd, sets the time
response of the watchdog monitor.
Watchdog input.
6

If the frequency at this input pin is too low, the Reset
output is activated.
Connect to ground if not used
Voltage regulator output
