Timing and Switching Characteristics
Power Supply Sequencing
For proper operation of the device, perform the recommended power-up sequencing as follows:
- All supplies (VBAT, VIO) must be available before Reset is released. 2. For an external slow clock, ensure that the clock is stable before Reset is deasserted (high). 3. The Reset pin should be held low for 10 us after stabilization of the external power supplies
Slow Clock Generated Internally
In order to minimize external components, the slow clock can be generated by an internal oscillator. However, this clock is less accurate and consumes more power than sourcing the slow clock externally. For this scenario, the Slow_CLK pin should be left unconnected.
Slow Clock Using an External Oscillator
For optimal power consumption, the slow clock can be generated externally by an oscillator sourced from elsewhere in the system. The external source must meet the requirements listed below. The is
Clock should be fed into the BMCC3301-1313 pin Slow_CLK and should be stable before nReset is deasserted and he device is enabled.
