Reset scheme and control signals[edit | edit source]

The following picture shows the simplified block diagram of reset scheme and voltage monitoring.

The available reset signals are described in detail in the following sections.

CPU_PORn[edit | edit source]

Three different sources can assert this active-low signal:

  • PMIC
  • multiple-voltage monitor: this device monitors several critical power voltages and triggers a reset pulse in case any of these exhibits a brownout condition
  • watchdog timer: even if MX6 processor integrates a watchdog timer (WDT), an external WDT (Maxim MAX6373KA+) is avalible to maximize reliability

Since SPI NOR flash can be used as boot device, CPU_PORn is connected to this device too. This guarantees it is in a known state after reset occurrence.
