Floating Gate Analog EEPROM (FGAE2™) technology is used to manufacture low-cost supervisors. Reset threshold levels can be programmed and reprogrammed during manufacturing to match customer requirements and order backlog.
Applications for microprocessor supervisors include PC motherboards, embedded control systems, set-top boxes, power-monitoring equipment, medical equipment and communication terminals.
Catalyst integrates voltage supervisor functions and EEPROM memory into single-chip solutions to help designers simplify system design, save board space and increase overall system reliability. Supervisor functions include watchdog, reset and voltage monitoring, combined with serial EEPROM memory sizes ranging from 2k to 64k bits.
Additionally, on-chip non-volatile memory streamlines the management of threshold set-up and fine tuning to simplify manufacturing logistics and improve delivery lead times.
