SCPS200E July 2009 – April 2019 TCA9555
PRODUCTION DATA.
In the event of a glitch (data output or input or even power) or data corruption, the TCA9555 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.
The two types of power-on reset are shown in Figure 39 and Figure 40.
Table 9 specifies the performance of the power-on reset feature for TCA9555 for both types of power-on reset.
PARAMETER | MIN | TYP | MAX | UNIT | ||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
VCC_FT | Fall rate of VCC | See Figure 39 | 0.1 | 2000 | ms | |
VCC_RT | Rise rate of VCC | See Figure 39 | 0.1 | 2000 | ms | |
VCC_TRR_GND | Time to re-ramp (when VCC drops to GND) | See Figure 39 | 1 | μs | ||
VCC_TRR_POR50 | Time to re-ramp (when VCC drops to VPOR_MIN – 50 mV) | See Figure 40 | 1 | μs | ||
VCC_GH | Level that VCCP can glitch down to, but not cause a functional disruption when VCC_GW | See Figure 41 | 1.2 | V | ||
VCC_MV | The minimum voltage that VCC can glitch down to without causing a reset (VCC_GH must also not be violated) | See Figure 41 | 1.5 | V | ||
VCC_GW | Glitch width that does not cause a functional disruption | See Figure 41 | 10 | μs |
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 41 and Table 9 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 42 and Table 9 provide more details on this specification.
