AM3352: RTC_PWRONRSTn specification

Part Number: AM3352

Hi,

I am refering the Figure 6-2/6-3/6-4 in AM335x datasheet(sprs717k.pdf).
I have few questions about RTC_PWRONRSTn specification for AM335x.

1.
I understand as follow:
- RTC_PWRONRSTn should be deasserted after 1 ms elapsed since VDDS_RTC was supplied.
- There is no dependency other powers and signals(1.8V Supplies,VDD_CORE,etc.) for RTC_PWRONRSTn release timing.
Are these correct?

2.
About RTC_PWRONRSTn, how long is the asserted timing required to reset the RTC domain?
As in annotation A, is it required at least 1ms to reset?

Regards,
Yasun

  • Hi,

    For both questions, yes. Note A, after the figures states this:

      "RTC_PWRONRSTn should be asserted for at least 1 ms to provide enough time for the internal RTC LDO output to reach a valid level before RTC reset is released".

    As for the following statemnt:
     "- There is no dependency other powers and signals(1.8V Supplies,VDD_CORE,etc.) for RTC_PWRONRSTn release timing."

    You should follow the sequence provided in the figures in datasheet. In figure Figure 6-2, for example, you can clearly see that the reset is released after PMIC_POWER_EN, 1.8-V Supplies & VDDS_DDR. You should comply with this.  Same with figure 6-3 & 6-4, you should comply with the described sequencing.

  • Hi Yordan,

    Thank you for your reply.

    I found the notes in the Figure 6-2/6-3/6-4 are described as follows.
    "VDDS_RTC can be ramped independent of other power supplies if PMIC_POWER_EN functionality is not required. If
    VDDS_RTC is ramped after VDD_CORE, there might be a small amount of additional leakage current on
    VDD_CORE. The power sequence shown provides the lowest leakage option."

    Please let me make sure again if my understanding in the following is correct.
    I understanding as follows.
    - RTC_PWRONRSTn must be LOW for at least 1ms after VDDS_RTC supplied.
    - PMIC_POWER_EN will be HIGH after VDDS_RTC supplied. (PMIC_POWER_EN is AM3352 output signal.)
    - Sequencing for VDDS_RTC and RTC_PWRONRSTn can be independent of other power supplies and signals.
    (But, there might be a small amount of additional leakage current on VDD_CORE.)
    - RTC_PWRONRSTn must be LOW for at least 1ms to reset the RTC domain.

    Are these correct?

  • Hi,

    Yes, all your understandings are correct.

    I advised you to follow the power sequences depict in the datasheet in order to have lowest leakage option.

    I am looping the HW team to elaborate if needed.

  • Hi Yordan,

    Thank you for your reply.
    My question became clear. Thank you very much.
