Timer

The CP6003-SA is equipped with the following timers:
• Real-Time Clock
The Intel® QM67 chipset integrates an MC146818B-compatible real-time clock with
256 byte CMOS RAM. All CMOS RAM data remain stored in an additional EEPROM
device to prevent data loss.
• Counter/Timer
Three 8254-style counter/timers are included on the CP6003-SA as defined for the PC/AT.
• The Intel® QM67 chipset integrates eight high-precision event timers.
2.5

Watchdog Timer

The CP6003-SA provides a Watchdog timer that is programmable for a timeout period ranging
from 125 ms to 4096 s in 16 steps. Failure to trigger the Watchdog timer in time results in a
system reset or an interrupt. In dual-stage mode, a combination of both interrupt and reset if
the Watchdog is not serviced. A hardware status flag will be provided to determine if the Watch-
dog timer generated the reset.
2.6

Battery

The CP6003-SA is provided with a 3.0 V "coin cell" lithium battery for the RTC. For further infor-
mation concerning the battery and its replacement, refer to Chapter 3.7, Battery Replacement.
2.7

Reset

The CP6003-SA is automatically reset by a precision voltage monitoring circuit that detects a
drop in voltage below the acceptable operating limit or in the event of a power failure of the
DC/DC converters. Other reset sources include the Watchdog timer and the push-button switch
on the front panel. The CP6003-SA responds to any of these sources by initializing local pe-
ripherals.
A reset will be generated if one the following events occurs:
• Drop in voltage below the acceptable operating limit
• Power failure of at least one onboard DC/DC converter
• Push-button "RESET" pressed (on the front panel)
• Watchdog expired
• CPCI backplane PRST input
• CPCI backplane RST input (software-configurable when the board is in peripheral mode)
