Hello,

I have below question about TLF35584 device functionality. Can you please clarify ?

Item#1: I am trying to create below failure scenario.
1. Apply VBATT/12V to TLF35584
2. Observed that Rest pin of MCU is released by TLF35584 and all power supplies are up and running
3. Creating a MCU stuck fault scenario (This means no SPI communication or watchdog refresh from MCU)
4. Observed that after 600ms TLF35584 pulls reset pin low for 20ms and then releases Reset pin of MCU
5. Again Creating a MCU stuck fault scenario (This means no SPI communication or watchdog refresh from MCU)
6. Observed that after 600ms TLF35585 pulls reset pin low and remains low
After Step#6, If I apply Enable/Key-On the TLF35584 device is not recoverable

Is this behavior correct ?
Question#1.1: In Step#6, based on datasheet I thought TLF35584 will try to reset MCU at-least 3 times, however there is no retry from TLF35584 device ? Am I missing something ?
Question#1.2 In this case why Enable/Key-On is not able to recover TLF35584 device ?

Hi Nadeem,

On the AURIX side, do you have PORST connected to the TLF35584 reset output? Or ESR0?

Hi Scott,

I am using TC377 and in my design, TLF's ROT (Pin 17) is connected to TC377's PORST (G17 pin BGA package)

How you have connected ENA and WAK? How you make the Enable/Key On?
