Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of aircraft electromechanical control and relates to an integrated watchdog reset device with multiple trigger sources. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of more-electric aircraft, the use of electric drive controllers in airborne equipment is increasing. These controllers typically utilize CPU processors such as DSPs for algorithmic logic processing, leading to increasingly stringent reliability requirements. To prevent software malfunctions and other anomalies in the electric drive control, reliable CPU resets are necessary to ensure mission reliability. Multiple reset sources for electric drive controllers should include +5V power-on reset, power-off recovery reset, and external watchdog timeout reset. Traditional reset circuits may only have a single trigger source, such as the CPU's timed watchdog signal. In multi-sequential load electric drive control systems, multiple anomalies, including power-on and power-off, need to be addressed to ensure reliable operation under various complex abnormal conditions. This multi-trigger integrated watchdog reset device provides a comprehensive and reliable reset from multiple sources, including +5V power-on reset, power-off recovery reset, and external watchdog timeout reset. The device boasts advantages such as fewer component types, smaller size, and higher reliability. It has already been successfully applied in a certain type of aircraft. Utility Model Content

[0003] Utility Model Purpose

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an integrated watchdog reset device with multiple trigger sources. The multi-channel electrical function is fully automated by hardware, requiring no external command signals. The device integrates multiple reset sources, including +5V power-on reset, power-off recovery reset, and external watchdog timeout reset, providing comprehensive and reliable reset capabilities.

[0005] Technical solution

[0006] An integrated watchdog reset device with multiple trigger sources includes a power management circuit component, a watchdog logic processing component, and a reset source integrated processing component.

[0007] The power management circuit assembly includes resistors R1 and R2. One end of R1 is connected to the monitoring power supply VCC1, and the other end is connected to one end of R2. The other end of R2 is connected to the negative terminal of the monitoring power supply VCC1. The voltage divider between R1 and R2 is connected to pin 4 of U1.

[0008] The watchdog logic processing component includes a watchdog reset chip U1 and a resistor R3. The power supply VCC and GND are connected to pins 2 and 3 of the watchdog reset chip U1, respectively. One end of the resistor R3 is connected to VCC, and the other end is connected to pin 1 of U1. Pin 6 of the watchdog reset chip U1 is responsible for receiving the periodic feed signal, and pin 7 of the watchdog reset chip U1 is responsible for outputting the reset signal.

[0009] The reset source processing component includes a logic AND gate N1. The connection relationship is as follows: pin 5 of the watchdog reset chip U1 is connected to pin 1 of N1, pin 6 of the watchdog reset chip U1 is connected to pin 2 of N1, and pin 3 of N1 is connected to pin 1 of chip U1.

[0010] Furthermore, the JS706T-25 hardware reset management chip is used to manage the reset source.

[0011] Furthermore, the watchdog reset chip U1 includes functions such as power-on reset, watchdog timer overflow, power undervoltage warning, power undervoltage reset, and external hardware reset.

[0012] Furthermore, the operation of the reset function circuit is explained as follows:

[0013] (1) When the chip's VCC voltage reaches 1V, the RESET port outputs a low level. The VCC voltage gradually increases, and when it exceeds the reset voltage threshold, the low level output by the RESET terminal is removed after a typical duration of 25ms, the circuit reset is complete, and the watchdog starts working;

[0014] Furthermore, (2) when the VCC voltage gradually decreases and falls below the reset voltage threshold, the RESET port outputs a low level. This is an external reset function; when the MR port is low, the RESET port outputs a low level.

[0015] Furthermore, (3) if there is no toggle signal input to WDI within the typical watchdog overflow time of 1.6s, the WDO port outputs a low level; otherwise, the WDO port outputs a high level. The control channel and the monitoring channel DSP send the inverted level to the JS706T-25 through the GPIO pin at 500ms intervals to realize hardware watchdog feeding.

[0016] Furthermore, (4) power undervoltage warning function: when the PFI port voltage is higher than the typical value of 1.25V, the PFO port outputs a high level, otherwise it outputs a low level; the PFO signal and the WDO signal in (3) are connected to the RESET_COM signal through an AND gate and connected to the MR of the reset chip. The low level output of either of the reset sources in (3) and (4) can enable the DSP to perform an effective reset.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this application are as follows:

[0018] Compared to traditional reset source circuits that may only have a single trigger source for reset, such as the CPU's timed watchdog signal, this invention, in a multi-sequential load electric drive control system, needs to include handling of various abnormal situations such as power-on and power-off to ensure reliable operation of the electric drive control system under various complex abnormal conditions. This multi-trigger integrated watchdog reset device can reliably reset through a combination of multiple reset sources, including +5V power-on reset, power-off recovery reset, and external watchdog timeout reset. The device has advantages such as fewer component types, smaller size, and higher reliability. Attached Figure Description

[0023] An integrated watchdog reset device with multiple trigger sources includes three components: a power management circuit component, a watchdog logic processing component, and a reset source integrated processing component.

[0024] The power management circuit assembly includes resistors R1 and R2. One end of R1 is connected to the monitoring power supply VCC1, and the other end is connected to one end of R2. The other end of R2 is connected to the negative terminal of the monitoring power supply VCC1. The voltage divider between R1 and R2 is connected to pin 4 of U1.

[0025] The watchdog logic processing component includes a watchdog reset chip U1 and a resistor R3. The power supply VCC and GND of chip U1 are connected to pins 2 and 3 of U1, respectively. One end of resistor R3 is connected to VCC, and the other end is connected to pin 1 of U1.

[0027] The reset function circuit diagram of the DSP is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the JS706T-25 hardware reset management chip is used to manage the reset source. This chip's functions include power-on reset, watchdog timer overflow, undervoltage warning, undervoltage reset, and external hardware reset. The operation of its reset function circuit is described below:

[0028] (1) When the chip's VCC voltage reaches 1V, the RESET port outputs a low level. The VCC voltage gradually increases, and when it exceeds the reset voltage threshold, the low level output by the RESET terminal typically lasts for 25ms before being removed, completing the circuit reset and the watchdog timer begins operation. Figure 2 As shown;

[0029] (2) When the VCC voltage gradually decreases and falls below the reset voltage threshold (typically 3.15V), the RESET port outputs a low level. This is an external reset function; when the MR port is low, the RESET port outputs a low level, such as... Figure 2 As shown;

[0030] (3) If there is no toggle signal input to WDI within the typical watchdog overflow time of 1.6s, the WDO port outputs a low level; otherwise, the WDO port outputs a high level. The control channel and monitoring channel DSP send an inverted level to the JS706T-25 through GPIO pins at 500ms intervals to implement hardware watchdog feeding. Figure 2 As shown;

[0031] (4) Undervoltage warning function: When the PFI port voltage is higher than the typical value of 1.25V, the PFO port outputs a high level; otherwise, it outputs a low level. The PFO signal and the WDO signal in (3) are connected to the MR of the reset chip through an AND gate to form a RESET_COM signal. The low level output of either reset source in (3) and (4) can enable the DSP to perform an effective reset, such as... Figure 3 As shown;
