TPS6594-Q1: The working logic of the internal watchdog

Part Number: TPS6594-Q1

We use TPS6594133ARWERQ1,the internal watchdog is enabled upon power-up of the PMIC. 

According to the EVM default configuration, the long window is 13 minutes.

(1) Is the first long window after PMIC power-on always limited to 13 minutes? If so, 13 minutes is sufficient to support the entire power-up process of the TDA4. But is 13 minutes too long? If there is a fault when TDA4 is powered on, the watchdog will report the fault only after 13 minutes.

(2) After PMIC is powered on, can TDA4 directly modify the first long window through I2C? Or does it require a dog-feeding operation to be performed first before modifying the duration of the long window?

    已经收到了您的案例,调查需要些时间,感谢您的耐心等待

    PMIC 上电后的第一个长窗口是否总是限制在 13 分钟内?

    是的,TDA4 可以通过 I2C 修改第一个长窗口。但必须注意不要写入已经过去的时间值,否则会触发热复位。例如,如果已经是 65 秒,就不要将其设置为 60 秒。 

    此外,写入 WD_LONGWIN 寄存器后,计时器不会重置。如果在将窗口修改为 60 秒之前已经过去了 30 秒,那么在计时器耗尽之前,只剩下 30 秒的时间了。

    那么 13 分钟足以支持 TDA4 的整个上电过程。但是 13 分钟是否太长了?如果 TDA4 上电时出现故障,看门狗会在 13 分钟后才报告故障。

    PMIC 输入电源循环后的第一个长窗口始终为 13 分钟。如果 PMIC 进入待机状态,WD_LONGWIN 寄存器将保留您设置的任何值。
