Norm/Mark, you guys really know how to keep me busy!.
I apologize for any inconvenience this issue may have caused. We found this
issue while researching a customers complaint that his unit rebooted during
a lightning storm.I was assured by the customer that he was not utilizing a
clear plastic enclosure!.The Watchdog Chip (board id #U11) is a Surface
Mounted Device (SMD) that reacts BADLY from the flash when it is
photographed.This was not perceived as an issue because most enclosures (no
more Tupperware!) will not allow light penetration. The following is from
the IC Product Data sheet:
*Special Precautions for the micro SMD Package
As with most integrated circuits, the LM3706 and LM3707
are sensitive to exposure from visible and infrared (IR) light
radiation. Unlike a plastic encapsulated IC, the micro SMD
package has very limited shielding from light, and some
sensitivity to light reflected from the surface of the PC board
or long wavelength IR entering the die from the side may be
experienced. This light could have an unpredictable affect on
the electrical performance of the IC. Care should be taken to
shield the device from direct exposure to bright visible or IR
light during operation.

Thanks
