7.1 Functions of POC Circuit
The POC circuit has the following functions:
• Generating an internal reset signal when VDD ≤ VPOC.
• Canceling an internal reset signal when VDD > VPOC.
Here, VDD: power supply voltage, VPOC: POC-detected voltage.

Notes 1. In reality, oscillation stabilization wait time must elapse before the circuit is switched to operating
mode. The oscillation stabilization wait time is about 246/fX to 694/fX (about 70 to 190 µs: when fX
= 3.64 MHz).
2. For the POC circuit to generate an internal reset signal when the power supply voltage has fallen,
it is necessary for the power supply voltage to be kept less than the VPOC for a period of 1 ms or more.
Therefore, in reality, there is a time lag of up to 1 ms until the reset takes effect.
3. The POC-detected voltage (VPOC) varies between about 1.7 to 2.0 V; thus, the reset may be canceled
at a power supply voltage smaller than the assured range (VDD = 2.0 to 3.6 V). However, as long as
the conditions for operating the POC circuit are met, the actual lowest operating power supply voltage
becomes lower than the POC-detected voltage. Therefore, there is no malfunction occurring due to
the shortage of power supply voltage. However, malfunction for such reasons as the clock not
oscillating due to low power supply voltage may occur (refer to Caution 3. in 7. POC CIRCUIT).
7.2 Oscillation Check at Low Supply Voltage
A reliable reset operation can be expected of the POC circuit if it satisfies the condition that the clock can oscillate
even at low power supply voltage (the oscillation start voltage of the resonator being even lower than the POC-
detected voltage). Whether this condition is met or not can be checked by measuring the oscillation status on a
product which actually contains a POC circuit, as follows.
<1> Connect a storage oscilloscope to the XOUT pin so that the oscillation status can be measured.
<2> Connect a power supply whose output voltage can be varied and then gradually raise the power supply
voltage VDD from 0 V (making sure to avoid VDD > 3.6 V).
At first (during VDD < 1.7 V (approx.)), the XOUT pin is 0 V regardless of the VDD. However, at the point that VDD
reaches the POC-detected voltage (VPOC = 1.85 V (TYP.)), the voltage of the XOUT pin jumps to about 0.5 VDD.
Maintain this power supply voltage for a while to measure the waveform of the XOUT pin. If, by any chance, the
oscillation start voltage of the resonator is lower than the POC-detected voltage, the growing oscillation of the XOUT
pin can be confirmed within several ms after the VDD has reached the VPOC.
