Functional Description

The FT8010 reset timer uses an internal oscillator and a

two-stage, 21-bit counter to determine when the output

pins switch. Time N is set by the hard-wired logic level

of the DSR pin. N is either 7.5 ±20% seconds for

DSR=LOW or 11.25 ±20% seconds for DSR=HIGH.

The two input pins, /SR0 and /SR1, drive voltage

comparators that compare the voltage on the input with

the voltage set by the reference block. A low input signal

on both /SR0 and /SR1 starts the oscillator. The

oscillator sends data pulses to the digital core, which

includes the counter. There are two scenarios for

counting, as described below: short duration and long

duration. In the short-duration scenario, outputs /RST1

and RST2 are not affected. In the long duration

scenario, the outputs change state after time N. The

outputs return to their original states when a HIGH input

signal occurs on either /SR0 or /SR1.

The /RST1 output is an open-drain driver. When the count

time exceeds time N, the /RST1 output drives LOW. The

RST2 output is a push-pull driver. When the count time

exceeds time N, the RST2 output drives HIGH.

The TRIG pin should be tied GND or LOW during

normal operation. The TRIG pin is a test mode pin used

for SCAN testing.

Application Note

IMPORTANT

to provide a HIGH or LOW voltage level. The voltage

level on the DSR pin determines the length of the

configurable delay. It is important that the voltage level

on the DSR pin not change during normal operation.

SR0 or SR1 buttons go LOW. Do not use pull-up or pull-

down resistors on the DSR pin.

In this case, both input /SR0 and /SR1 are LOW for a

goes LOW, the internal timer starts counting. The input

goes HIGH before time N. The timer stops counting and

resets and no changes occur on the outputs (see Figure 4).

The timer starts counting when both inputs go LOW. The timer stops

counting and resets when either input goes HIGH. No changes occur on the

outputs, Both /SR0 and /SR1 need to be LOW to activate (start) the timer.
