9.2 Power-On Start-Up and Brownout

Power-on is detected when the supply voltage exceeds 2.4 V at the VDD pin. At this point, the DRV425-Q1 initiates the following start-up sequence:

  1. Digital logic starts up and waits for 26 μs for the supply to settle.
  2. The fluxgate sensor powers up.
  3. The compensation loop is active 70 μs after the supply voltage exceeds 2.4 V.

During this startup sequence, the DRV1 and DRV2 outputs are pulled low to prevent undesired signals on the compensation coil and the ERROR pin is asserted low.

The DRV425-Q1 tests for low supply voltages with a brownout-voltage level of 2.4 V. Use a power-supply source capable of supporting large current pulses driven by the DRV425-Q1, and low-ESR bypass capacitors for a stable supply voltage in the system. A supply drop to less than 2.4 V that lasts longer than 20 μs generates a power-on reset; the device ignores shorter voltage drops. A voltage drop on the VDD pin to below 1.8 V immediately initiates a power-on reset. After the power supply returns to 2.4 V, the device initiates a start-up cycle.
