TMS320C6654: Inactive time of RESETFULL while POR is active

Genius 5785 points

Part Number: TMS320C6654

Hello,

Is it allowed for RESETFULL to be inactive for just short time while POR is active? A device that control RESETFULL may output a short pulse when the device is powered on. It looks like red below pulse on Figure 6-1 in datasheet.

  • Hi,

    I'm looking into this.

  • Hi,

    No, this could cause problems when booting your design. Follow the datasheet recommendations.
    RESETFUL must be low. It must be held low for at least 24 transitions of the SYSCLK1 after POR has stabilized at a high level.

  • Hello Yordan,

    Thank you for your quick reply. My question is about a very short high level of RESETFULL when POR is active (low level). Please let me know if you have answer.

  • Again, RESETFUL must be low for at least 24 transitions of SYSCLK1 after POR has stabilized at a high level. This means that it MUST be low even when POR is active (low level).
    This is clarified in both Datasheet & Hardware design Guide for Keystone Devices:

    "5.1.2 RESETFULL
    RESETFULL is an active-low signal that will reset all internal configuration registers to a known good state. RESETFULL performs all the same functions as POR and is also used to latch the BOOTMODE and configuration pin data. RESETFULL must be asserted (low) on a power-up while the clocks and power planes become stable, and RESETFULL must remain low until the specified time after POR has been released. For the timing requirements of POR and RESETFULL, see the device-specific data manual. Once POR has been released, the RESETFULL signal may be toggled at any time to place the KeyStone I device into a default state.
    Both POR and RESET should be high before RESETFULL is deasserted, otherwise the device may not boot correctly.
    The proper use of RESETFULL is required and must follow all timing requirements. See the device-specific data manual for additional RESETFULL details. RESETFULL and POR must be controlled separately. The KeyStone I part will not operate correctly
    if they are tied together.
    If POR is asserted due to an incorrect power supply voltage, then RESETFULL must also be asserted until the prescribed time after POR to assure that the proper configuration is latched into the device."

    Why are you trying to deviate from TI recommendations?

    I saw the description you gave me in Hardware design guide. Thank you.
