6.5 Reset
6.5.1
Power-on Reset (POR Pin)
TMS320DM6437
Digital Media Processor
SPRS345B–NOVEMBER 2006–REVISED MARCH 2007
The reset controller detects the different type of resets supported on the DM6437 device and manages the
distribution of those resets throughout the device.
The DM6437 device has several types of device-level global resets - power-on reset, warm reset, and
max reset.
Table 6-10
explains further the types of reset, the reset initiator, and the effects of each reset
on the chip. See
Section 6.5.9
,
Reset Electrical Data/Timing
, for more information on the effects of each
reset on the PLL controllers and their clocks.

TYPE
INITIATOR
EFFECT(s)
POR pin
Global chip reset (Cold reset). Activates the POR signal on chip,
which resets the entire chip including the emulation logic.
The power-on reset (POR) pin
must
be driven low during power
ramp of the device.
Device boot and configuration pin are latched.
Resets everything except for the emulation logic. Emulator stays
alive during Warm Reset.
Device boot and configuration pin are latched.
Same as a Warm Reset, except the DM6437 device boot and
configuration pins are
not
re-latched.

In addition to device-level global resets, the PSC provides the capability to cause local resets to
peripherals and/or the CPU.
Power-on Reset (POR) is initiated by the POR pin and is used to reset the entire chip, including the
emulation logic. Power-on Reset is also referred to as a cold reset since the device usually goes through a
power-up cycle. During power-up, the POR pin must be asserted (driven low) until the power supplies
have reached their normal operating conditions. If an external 27-MHz oscillator is used on the MXI/CLKIN
pin, the source clock should also be running at the correct frequency prior to de-asserting the POR pin.
Note
: a device power-up cycle is not required to initiate a Power-on Reset.
The following sequence
must
be followed during a Power-on Reset.
1. Wait for the power supplies to reach normal operating conditions while keeping the POR pin asserted
(driven low).
2. Wait for the input clock source to be stable while keeping the POR pin asserted (low).
3. Once the power supplies and the input clock source are stable, the POR pin
must
remain asserted
(low) for a minimum of 12 MXI cycles.
Within the low period of the POR pin, the following happens:
–
The reset signals flow to the entire chip (including the emulation logic), resetting the modules on
chip.
–
The PLL Controller clocks start at the frequency of the MXI clock. The clocks are propagated
throughout the chip to reset the chip synchronously. By default, both PLL1 and PLL2 are in reset
and unlocked. The PLL Controllers default to PLL Bypass Mode.
–
The RESETOUT pin stays asserted (low), indicating the device is in reset.
4. The POR pin may now be deasserted (driven high).
When the POR pin is deasserted (high), the configuration pin values are latched and the PLL
Controllers changed their system clocks to their default divide-down values. Both PLL Controllers are
still in PLL Bypass Mode. Other device initialization also begins.
5. After device initialization is complete, the PLL Controllers pause the system clocks for 10 cycles. At the
end of these 10 cycles, the RESETOUT pin is deasserted (driven high).
