Reset Function
8.1
Description Reset Function
The reset function contains several features:
Output Undervoltage Reset:
An output undervoltage condition is indicated by setting the reset output “RO” to “low”. This signal might be used
to reset a microcontroller during a low supply voltage condition.
Power-On Reset Delay Time
The power-on reset delay time td,PWR-ON allows a microcontroller and oscillator to start up. This delay time is the
time period from exceeding the upper reset switching threshold VRT,hi until the reset is released by switching the
reset output “RO” from “low” to “high”. The power-on reset delay time td,PWR-ON is defined by an external delay
capacitor CD connected to pin “D”, which is charged up by the delay capacitor charge current ID,ch starting from
VD = 0 V.
In case a power-on reset delay time td,PWR-ON different from the value for CD = 100nF is required, the delay
capacitor’s value can be derived from the specified value given in Item 8.2.15:
CD
=
-------t--d--,-P---W----R-----O----N-------- × 100nF
td,PWR-ON,100nF
with
• td,PWR-ON: Desired power-on reset delay time
• td,PWR-ON,100nF: Power-on reset delay time specified in Item 8.2.15
• CD: Delay capacitor required
The formula is valid for CD ≥ 10 nF.For a precise calculation consider also the delay capacitor’s tolerance.
Undervoltage Reset Delay Time
Unlike the power-on reset delay time, the undervoltage reset delay td time considers a short output undervoltage
event, where the delay capacitor CD is assumed to be discharged to VD = VDST,lo only before the charging
sequence starts. Therefore, the undervoltage reset delay time td is defined by the delay capacitor charge
current ID,ch starting from VD = VDST,lo and the external delay capacitor CD.
A delay capacitor CD for a different undervoltage reset delay time as specified in Item 8.2.14 can be calculated
similar as above:
CD
=
-------t--d------- × 100nF
td,100nF
with
• td: Desired reset delay time
• td,100nF: Reset delay time specified in Item 8.2.14
• CD: Delay capacitor required
The formula is valid for CD ≥ 10 nF.For a precise calculation consider also the delay capacitor’s tolerance.
