8.3.1 Power-On Reset Requirements

In the event of a glitch or data corruption, PCA9548A 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 8-5.

Table 8-1 specifies the performance of the power-on reset feature for PCA9548A for both types of power-on reset.

Table 8-1 Recommended Supply Sequencing and Ramp Rates(1)
PARAMETERMINMAXUNIT
VCC_FTFall timeSee Figure 8-51100ms
VCC_RTRise timeSee Figure 8-50.1100ms
VCC_TRRTime to re-ramp (when VCC drops below VPORF(min) – 50 mV or when VCC drops to GND)See Figure 8-540μs
VCC_GHLevel that VCC can glitch down to, but not cause a functional disruption when VCC_GW = 1 μsSee Figure 8-61.2V
VCC_GWGlitch width that does not cause a functional disruption when VCC_GH = 0.5 × VCCSee Figure 8-610μs
(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 8-6 and Table 8-1 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 8-7 and Table 8-1 provide more details on this specification.
