[1] Registers marked x are undefined at power-up and unchanged by subsequent resets.
8.11.1 Power-On Reset (POR) override
The POR duration is directly related to the crystal oscillator start-up time. Due to the long
start-up times experienced by these types of circuits, a mechanism has been built in to
disable the POR and hence speed up on-board test of the device. The setting of this
mode requires that the I
2
C-bus pins, SDA and SCL, are toggled in a specific order as
shown in Figure 12
. All timings are required minimums.
Once the override mode has been entered, the device immediately stops, being reset,
and normal operation may commence i.e. entry into the EXT_CLK test mode via I
2
C-bus
access. The override mode may be cleared by writing logic 0 to TESTC. TESTC must be
set to logic 1 before re-entry into the override mode is possible. Setting TESTC to logic 0
during normal operation has no effect except to prevent entry into the POR override
mode.
