IP2022 Data Sheet
The PSPCFG (address 0x06E) register contains two bits
to indicate possible sources of the reset, WD and BO. The
WD bit is cleared on reset unless the reset was caused by
the watchdog timer, in which case the WD bit is set. The
BO bit is cleared on reset unless the reset was caused by
the brown-out logic, in which case, the BO bit is set.
Figure 3-12 shows a power-up sequence in which RST is
not tied to the DVDD pin and the DVDD signal is allowed
to rise and stabilize before RST pin is brought high. The
device will actually come out of reset after the startup
stabilization period (Tstartup) from RST going high. The
WUDP2:0 bits of the FUSE0 register specify the length of
the stabilization period.
Figure 3-12 Power-On Reset, Separate RST Signal
The brown-out circuitry resets the chip when device
power (AVdd) dips below its minimum allowed value, but
not to zero, and then recovers to the normal value.
Figure 3-13 shows the on-chip Power-On Reset
sequence in which the RST and DVDD pins are tied
together. The DVDD signal is stable before the startup
timer expires. In this case, the CPU receives a reliable
reset.
Figure 3-13 Power-On Reset, RST Tied To DVdd
However, Figure 3-14 depicts a situation in which DVDD
rises too slowly. In this scenario, the startup timer will time
out prior to DVDD reaching a valid operating voltage level
(DVDD min). This means the CPU will come out of reset
and start operating with the supply voltage below the level
required for reliable performance. In this situation, an
external RC circuit is recommended for driving RST. The
RC delay should exceed five times the time period
required for DVDD to reach a valid operating voltage.
Figure 3-14 DVdd Rise Time Exceeds Tstartup
Figure 3-15 shows the recommended external reset
circuit. The external reset circuit is required only if the
DVDD rise time has the possibility of being too slow.
Figure 3-15 External Reset Circuit
The diode D discharges the capacitor when DVDD is
powered down.
R1 = 100 W to 1K W will limit any current flowing into RST
from external capacitor C1. This protects the RST pin from
breakdown due to Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) or
Electrical Overstress (EOS).
R2 < 40K W is recommended to make sure that voltage
drop across R2 leaves the RST pin above a Vih level.
C1 should be chosen so that R2 × C1 exceeds five times
the time period required for DVDD to reach a valid
operating voltage.
