SNAS264D April 2006 – February 2024 LM94
PRODUCTION DATA
This pin acts as an active low reset output when power is applied to the LM94. It is asserted when the LM94 first sees a voltage that exceeds the internal POR level on its +3.3V S/B VDD input. The internal registers of the LM94 are reset to their defaults when power is applied.
After this reset has completed, the RESET pin becomes an input. When an external device asserts RESET, the LM94 clears the LOCK bit in the LM94 Configuration register. This feature allows critical registers to be locked and provides a controlled mechanism to unlock them.
If the LM94 RESET is not used it must be tied high through an external resistive pull-up to prevent LM94 malfunction.
Within 10 µsec of asserting RESET externally, the Sleep State Control register shall be automatically set to S4/5. This causes several error events to be masked according to the S4/5 masking definitions. Refer to the register descriptions for more information. RESET may not be detected if it is asserted for less than 4 µsec.
