Charge Pump Failure
The charge pump is an important circuit that guarantees
low RDS(on) for all drivers, especially for low supply
voltages. If the supply voltage is too low or external
components are not properly connected to guarantee RDS(on)
of the drivers, then the bit <CPFAIL> is set in the SPI Status
Register 0. Also after power−on−reset the charge pump
voltage will need some time to exceed the required
threshold. During that time <CPFAIL> will be set to “1”.
Error Output
This is an open drain digital output to flag a problem to the
external microcontroller. The signal on this output is active
low and the logic combination of:
NOT(ERR) = <TW> OR <TSD> OR <OVCXij> OR
<OVCYij> OR <OPENi> OR <CPFAIL>

Logic Supply Regulator
The 522 has an on−chip 5 V low−drop regulator with
external capacitor to supply the digital part of the chip, some
low−voltage analog blocks and external circuitry. The
voltage level is derived from an internal bandgap reference.
To calculate the available drive−current for external
circuitry, the specified Iload should be reduced with the
consumption of internal circuitry (unloaded outputs) and the
loads connected to logic outputs. See Table 5.
Power−On Reset (POR) Function
The open drain output pin POR/WD provides an “active
low” reset for external purposes. At powerup of
NCV70522MN, this pin will be kept low for some time to
reset for example an external microcontroller. A small
analog filter avoids resetting due to spikes or noise on the
VDD supply.

Watchdog Function
The watchdog function is enabled/disabled through
<WDEN> bit (Table 13). Once this bit has been set to “1”
(watchdog enable), the microcontroller needs to re−write
this bit to clear an internal timer before the watchdog timeout
interval expires. In case the timer is activated and WDEN is
acknowledged too early (before tWDPR) or not within the
interval (after tWDTO), then a reset of the microcontroller
will occur through POR/WD pin. In addition, a warm/cold
boot bit <WD> is available in Table 16 for further processing
when the external microcontroller is alive again.
