PDTMR Pin Delay Calculation
The PDTMR pin provides a delay between the assertion of NMI and the enabling of the internal
clocks when exiting Powerdown. A delay is required only when using the on-chip oscillator to
allow the crystal or resonator circuit time to stabilize.
Note: The PDTMR pin function does not apply when RESIN is asserted (i.e., a device reset during
Powerdown is similar to a cold reset and RESIN must remain active until after the oscillator has
stabilized).
To calculate the value of capacitor required to provide a desired delay, use the equation:
Example 1.
440 × t = CPD (5V, 25 °C)
Where: t = desired delay in seconds
CPD = capacitive load on PDTMR in microfarads
To get a delay of 300 µs, a capacitor value of CPD = 440 × (300 × 10-6) = 0.132 µF is
required. Round up to standard (available) capacitive values.
Note:
The above equation applies to delay times greater than 10 µs and will compute the TYPICAL
capacitance needed to achieve the desired delay. A delay variance of +50% or -25% can occur due
to temperature, voltage, and device process extremes. In general, higher VCC and/or lower
temperature will decrease delay time, while lower VCC and/or higher temperature will increase
delay time.
