10.1 Power-On Reset Requirements

In the event of a glitch or data corruption, TCA9544A can be reset to its default conditions by using the power-on reset feature. Power-on reset requires that the device go through a power cycle to be completely reset. This reset also happens when the device is powered on for the first time in an application.

A power-on reset is shown in Figure 19.

Table 3 specifies the performance of the power-on reset feature for TCA9544A for both types of power-on reset.

Table 3. Recommended Supply Sequencing And Ramp Rates(1)

PARAMETER MIN TYP MAX UNIT
VCC_FT Fall time See Figure 19 1 ms
VCC_RT Rise time See Figure 19 0.1 ms
VCC_TRR Time to re-ramp (when VCC drops below VPORF(min) – 50 mV or when VCC drops to GND) See Figure 19 40 μs
VCC_GH Level that VCC can glitch down to, but not cause a functional disruption when VCC_GW = 1 μs See Figure 20 1.2 V
VCC_GW Glitch width that will not cause a functional disruption when VCC_GH = 0.5 × VCC See Figure 20 10 μs
VPORF Voltage trip point of POR on falling VCC See Figure 21 0.8 1.25 V
VPORR Voltage trip point of POR on rising VCC See Figure 21 1.05 1.5 V
(1) All supply sequencing and ramp rate values are measured at TA = 25°C

Glitches in the power supply can also affect the power-on reset performance of this device. The glitch width (VCC_GW) and height (VCC_GH) are dependent on each other. The bypass capacitance, source impedance, and device impedance are factors that affect power-on reset performance. Figure 20 and Table 3 provide more information on how to measure these specifications.

VPOR is critical to the power-on reset. VPOR is the voltage level at which the reset condition is released and all the registers and the I2C/SMBus state machine are initialized to their default states. The value of VPOR differs based on the VCC being lowered to or from 0. Figure 21 and Table 3 provide more details on this specification.
