Reset Behaviour
The AS-Interface Slave IC can be in reset condition or reset by the following events:
at power-up of VLTGP: as long as VUOUT has not yet reached the treshold voltage
9 V
≤
VCOMOFF
≤
11 V;
at power-down of VLTGP: as soon as U5R drops below the treshold voltage
3.5 V
≤
VPOR
≤
4 V;
by a 'L' input level to DSTBn for more than 44 μs;
resulting from a “Reset AS-Interface Slave“- command by the AS-Interface Master
over the AS-Interface BUS.
The different levels of VCOMOFF and VPOR as per a) and b) and the fact that the U5R supply
voltage results from a down-regulation of the VUOUT supply assure a desirable hysteresis in
the order of several volts between the VUOUT power-on-reset and power-down-reset
threshold. Whereas at power-up the AS-Interface Slave IC is released from reset by VUOUT
reaching a level of between 9 V and 11 V, at power-down VUOUT has to come down to a level
in the order of 5 V for U5R to drop into the reset-triggering window between 3.5 V and 4 V.
Some different power-down events are illustrated below:

Notes:
as to (1):
as to (2):
No reset will be triggered, if VLTGP is lower than 18 V for less than 1 ms
If VUOUT < VCOMOFF but still U5R > VPOR, communication over the Data
Port is inhibited, but no reset triggered
If U5R < VPOR (resulting from VUOUT << VCOMOFF), a reset is triggered.
Reset is overcome as soon as VUOUT > VCOMOFF (implying U5R > VPOR)
as to (3):
In reset condition internal registers are cleared and data port D0...D3 is switched into high-
impedant condition. After release from reset the AS-Interface Slave automatically performs a
first read cycle to clear the E
2
PROM from any previously interrupted communication state and
a second one to load the AS-Interface address, IO Configuration and ID Code into its internal
registers.
