HARDWARE RESET SEQUENCE
Hardware reset initiates when the nRSTI signal is asserted (low). Upon assertion of nRST the processor enters
hardware reset state. The LP3971 holds the nRST low long enough (50 ms typ.) to allow the processor time to
initiate the reset state.
RESET SEQUENCE
1. nRSTI is asserted.
2. nRSTO is asserted and will de-asserts after a minimum of 50 mS
3. The Applications processor waits for the de-assertion of nBATT_FLT to indicate system power (VIN) is
available.
4. After system power (VIN) is turned on, the LP3971 de-asserts nBATT_FLT.
5. The Applications processor asserts SYS_EN, the LP3971 enables the system high-voltage power supplies.
The Applications processor starts its countdown timer.
6. The LP3971 enables the high-voltage power supplies.
7. Countdown timer expires; the Applications processor asserts PWR_EN to enable the low-voltage power
supplies. The processor starts the countdown timer.
8. The Applications processor asserts PWR_EN, the LP3971 enables the low-voltage regulators.
9. Countdown timer expires; If enabled power domains are OK (I2C read) the power up sequence continues by
enabling the processors 13 MHz oscillator and PLL’s.
10. The Applications processor begins the execution of code.
