Power-On-Reset
The iC-TW2 contains a built-in Power-On-Reset (POR)
circuitry. The POR keeps the iC-TW2 in reset as long
as the applied power supply voltage does not allow
reliable operation. Once the power supply ramps up
above 1.8 V, the POR releases the reset and the iC-
TW2 starts the configuration cycle. 20 ms after the de-
vice goes out of reset, normal operation begins.

RELATIVE
A/B output signals are kept low during startup. This
resembles true relative operation since there is no
relationship between A/B levels and sensor position
(and therefore Z output) on startup.

ABSOLUTE
A/B output signals are phase-related to Z output.
A/B output levels are defined by the absolute
sensor position within a period. The register IPOS
can be used to program the desired A/B to Z phase
relationship.
11
BURST
The absolute sensor position within the period is
output by an A/B burst.
To avoid A/B output toggling it is important that the
power supply and the input signals are stable as soon
as normal operation begins. In applications with a
slowly rising power supply, it might be necessary to
connect an external RC reset to pin NRST to prolong
the reset. In applications where startup A/B toggling
is acceptable, no precaution must be taken as the iC-
TW2 will properly power up on an indefinitely slow sup-
ply rise time.
The iC-TW2 startup behaviour is controlled by pro-
gramming the two control bits STARTUP(1:0) in reg-
ister 0x01. Three possible startup configurations are
allowed, shown in Figure 12. The default behaviour
must be specified by the eeprom.

Reset
A control bit RESET is provided to block any burst
A/B pulses during chip reconfiguration by a microcon-
troller. While RESET is set A/B/Z output generation is
stopped. Access to the interface and register bank is
not affected.
