Philips Semiconductors
Microcontroller for monitor OSD
and auto-sync applications
Preliminary specification
PCE84C882
6 RESET
The RESET pin may be used as an active LOW input to
initialize the microcontroller to a defined state.
An active reset can be generated by driving the RESET pin
from an external logic device. Such an active reset pulse
should not fall off before VDD has reached its
fxtal-dependent minimum operating voltage.
A Power-on-reset can be generated using an external RC
circuit. To avoid overload of the internal diode, an external
diode should be added in parallel if CRESET ≥ 2.2 µF. The
RC circuit is shown in Fig.3.
6.1 Reset trip level
The RESET trip voltage level for the PCE84C882 is in the
range 0.7 to 1.9 V.
If any input (for example Hsync) goes HIGH before VDD is
applied, latch-up may occur and in this situation the
PCE84C882 cannot be reset. The cause and effect of
latch-up is shown in Fig.4.
