SLVSLJ4 April 2026 TCA9847
ADVANCE INFORMATION
In the event of a glitch or data corruption, TCA9847 can be reset to the default conditions by using the power-on reset feature. Power-on reset requires that the device go through a power cycle to be completely reset. This reset also happens when the device is powered on for the first time in an application.
A power-on reset is shown in Figure 8-2.
Table 8-1 specifies the performance of the power-on reset feature for TCA9847 for both types of power-on reset.
| PARAMETER | MIN | MAX | UNIT | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| VCC_FT | Fall time | See Figure 8-2 | 0.1 | 2000 | ms |
| VCC_RT | Rise time | See Figure 8-2 | 0.1 | 2000 | ms |
| VCC_TRR | Time to re-ramp (when VCC drops below VPORF(min) – 50mV or when VCC drops to GND) | See Figure 8-2 | 10 | μs | |
| VCC_GH | Level that VCC can glitch down to, but not cause a functional disruption when VCC_GW = 1μs | See Figure 8-3 | 1 | V | |
| VCC_GW | Glitch width that does not cause a functional disruption when VCC_GH = 0.5 × VCC | See Figure 8-3 | 10 | μs | |
Glitches in the power supply can also affect the power-on reset performance of this device. The glitch width (VCC_GW) and height (VCC_GH) are dependent on each other. The bypass capacitance, source impedance, and device impedance are factors that affect power-on reset performance. Figure 8-3 and Table 8-1 provide more information on how to measure these specifications.
VPOR is critical to the power-on reset. VPOR is the voltage level at which the reset condition is released and all the registers and the I2C/SMBus state machine are initialized to the default states. The value of VPOR differs based on the VCC being lowered to or from 0. Figure 8-4 and Table 8-1 provide more details on this specification.
