Calculating the WDO Pull-up Resistor - Design 1

Figure 19 shows the TPS3430 uses an open-drain configuration for the WDO circuit. When the FET is off, the

resistor pulls the drain of the transistor to VDD and when the FET is turned on, the FET attempts to pull the drain

to ground, thus creating an effective resistor divider. The resistors in this divider must be chosen to ensure that

specification is met, a pull-up resistor value of 16.5 kΩ is selected, which sinks a maximum of 200 μA when

WDO is asserted. WDO current is at 200 μA and the low-level output voltage is approximately zero.

8.2.2 Monitoring Microcontroller with a Programmed Window Watchdog Timer - Design 2

A typical application for the TPS3430 is shown in Figure 20. The TPS3430 is used to monitor the activity of the

microcontroller via the WDI pin.
