Reset scheme and control signalsEdit

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_PORnEdit

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.
