6.1.4.4 Processor Reset Input Checklist

General

Review and verify the following for the custom schematic design:

  1. The sections above, including relevant application notes and FAQ links.
  2. Pin attributes, signal description, and electrical specifications.
  3. Electrical characteristics, timing parameters, and any additional available information.
  4. Reset signal is asserted (low) while the processor supplies are ramping up or down.
  5. MCU_PORz POR input is 3.3V tolerant and fail-safe. The threshold follows the VDDS_OSC0 levels.
  6. Level of warm reset for MCU and main domains RESET_REQz (VDDSHV0), MCU_RESETz (VDDSHV_MCU) matches the IO supply group supply (1.8V or 3.3V).
  7. Reset inputs follow the slew rate requirements (FS RESET, LVCMOS).
  8. Input slew rate when open-collector output is connected (connecting through discrete push pull is recommended) directly to the reset input.
  9. Follow reset requirements including slew rate and POR hold time when a non-TI power design is used.

Schematic Review

Follow the steps below for the custom schematic design:

  1. Cold and warm reset input signals slew rate requirements are considered.
  2. Cold reset input (MCU_PORz) deassertion hold time (MCU_PORz input, 9.5ms minimum) after all supplies ramps are provided as per the data sheet requirement.
  3. Provision for filter capacitor is provided at the input of the reset inputs (add 22pF (ball park for place holder) capacitor as a filter option and DNI).
  4. Connection of reset inputs when not used as per pin connectivity requirements.
  5. Connection of push button warm reset inputs through debouncing circuit (Schmitt trigger buffer based).

Additional

  1. MCU_PORz input has a maximum rise and fall time requirement when PMIC_POWERGOOD (open-drain) is connected to the MCU_PORz. Adjust the pullup to minimize the rise time (<200ns).
  2. MCU_PORz is fail-safe and 3.3V tolerant.
  3. Connect the output from a push pull discrete buffer (with fast rise time) as the MCU_PORz input is a slow rising open-drain output.
  4. Not connecting a valid MCU_PORz causes unpredictable and random behavior, because the device is not getting a valid reset, internal circuits are in random states. Slow rising reset signal causes glitches internal to the processor reset circuit.
  5. LVCMOS inputs have slew rate requirements. A schmitt trigger circuit is recommended for the slow ramp push button RC connected to the processor warm reset inputs. Schmitt trigger circuit is recommended when using a push button or an RC reset.
  6. A provision for external ESD protection for manual reset input added near to the reset signal.
  7. Fail-safe operation when connected to external reset input signals. Applying an external input before supply ramps causes voltage feed and affects the processor performance.
  8. Reviewed MCU_RESETz related errata.
