Note
Reset (SYSRSTn signal) must be active for a minimum length of 5 ms. core power, I/O
power, and analog power must be stable (VDD +/- 5%) during that time and onward.
Reset Out Signal
The device has an optional SYSRST_OUTn output signal, multiplexed on an MPP pin, that is used
as a reset request from the device to the board reset logic. SYSRST_OUTn is the default option for
that MPP pin.
This signal is asserted low for 20 ms, when one of the following maskable events occurs:
„ Received hot reset indication from the PCI Express link (only relevant when used as a PCI
Express endpoint), and bit <PexRstOutEn> is set to 1 in the RSTOUTn Mask Register (see the
Reset register section of the 88F6180, 88F6190, 88F6192, and 88F6281 Functional
Specifications).
„ PCI Express link failure (only relevant when used as a PCI Express endpoint), and bit
<PexRstOutEn> is set to 1 in the RSTOUTn Mask Register.
„ Watchdog timer expiration and bit <WDRstOutEn> is set to 1 in the RSTOUTn Mask Register.
„ Bit <SystemSoftRst> is set to 1 in System Soft Reset Register and bit <SoftRstOutEn> is set
to 1 in RSTOUTn Mask Register.
This signal is asserted low for 20 ms, when one of the following non-maskable events occurs:
„ Power on reset (The device includes a power-on-reset (POR) circuit for VDD power.)
„ SYSRST_OUTn is asserted low as long as the MRn input signal is asserted low and for an
additional 20 ms after MRn de-assertion. (This is useful for implementations that include a
manual reset button.)
Power On Reset (POR)
The SYSRST_OUTn output signal is asserted low for 20 ms, when the power-on-reset (POR) circuit
is triggered.
POR is triggered when VDD power up (digital core voltage) reaches a VDD threshold (threshold
maximum value 0.8V).
Hysteresis: Another trigger will only occur after the power first drops to 50 mV, and then a power up
occurs.
SYSRSTn Duration Counter
When SYSRSTn is asserted low, a SYSRSTn duration counter is running.
„ The counter clock is the 25 MHz reference clock.
„ It is a 29-bit counter, yielding a maximum counting duration of 2^29/25 MHz (21.4 seconds).
„ The host software can read the counter value and reset the counter.
„ When the counter reach its maximum value, it remains at this value until counter reset is
triggered by software.
Note
The SYSRSTn duration counter is useful for implementing manufacturer/factory reset.
Upon a long reset assertion, greater than a pre-configured threshold, the host software
may reset all settings to the factory default values.
