Timer

The CP6003-RA/RC 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.
• Counter/Timer
Three 8254-style counter/timers are included on the CP6003-RA/RC as defined for the
PC/AT.
• The Intel® QM67 chipset integrates eight high-precision event timers.
2.5

Watchdog Timer

The CP6003-RA/RC 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, it results in a combination of both interrupt
and reset if the Watchdog is not serviced. A hardware status flag will be provided to determine
if the Watchdog timer generated the reset.
2.6

Battery

The CP6003-RA is provided with a 3.0 V "coin cell" lithium battery for the RTC. For further in-
formation concerning the battery and its replacement, refer to Chapter 3.7, Battery Replace-
ment.
2.7

Reset

The CP6003-RA/RC 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-RA/RC responds to any of these sources by initializing local
peripherals.
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 of the CP6003-RA)
• Watchdog expired
• CPCI backplane PRST input
• CPCI backplane RST input (software-configurable when the board is in peripheral mode)
