VOLTAGE REGULATOR WHICH REDUNDANTLY MONITORS FOR AN OVER-VOLTAGE CONDITION BASED ON A REGULATED VOLTAGE PROVIDED TO A CONTROLLER AND METHODS

Monitoring for an over-voltage condition based on a regulated voltage is disclosed. A first terminal of a voltage regulator receives a first voltage which is based on a regulated voltage input to a controller. A second terminal of the voltage regulator receives a second voltage indicative of the vol...

Zusammenfassung:Monitoring for an over-voltage condition based on a regulated voltage is disclosed. A first terminal of a voltage regulator receives a first voltage which is based on a regulated voltage input to a controller. A second terminal of the voltage regulator receives a second voltage indicative of the voltage input to the controller. A determination is made whether the first voltage exceeds the first voltage reference for a first time window and the controller is reset based on the determination that the first voltage exceeds the first voltage reference. A determination is also made whether the second voltage exceeds the second voltage reference for the second time window and the voltage regulator is powered down on based on the determination that the second voltage exceeds the second voltage reference.
