5.6 Pullup and Pulldown Recommendations
For reliable operation, it is highly recommended that the unused inputs be connected to an appropriate
signal level. For example:
Unused active-low inputs should be pulled up to OVDD.
Multiple unused active-high inputs can be ganged together for convenience.
Unused active-high inputs should be connected to GND.
Multiple unused active-low inputs can be ganged together for convenience.
All no-connect (NC) signals must remain unconnected.
Power and ground connections must be made to all external V0, V1, OVDD, AVDD, ANALOG_GND, and GND
pins of the PowerPC 970MP.
Table 5-7 provides details about the pin settings and information of the PowerPC 970MP debug and bringup
signals.
Table 5-8 on page 65 provides details about the appropriate connections for the PowerPC 970MP
manufacturing-test-only signals.

Only needed for debug. HRESET performs
the common on-chip processor (COP)
reset function. Should be wired to the
debug connector. Pulled up to OVDD by a
10 k
Ω resistor.
1. BiDi = Bidirectional.
2. Pullups should use a 10 k
Ω resistor to OV
DD. Pulldowns should use a 10 kΩ resistor to GND.
3. If GPULDBG = ‘1’ during HRESET transition from low to high, then run power-on reset (POR) in debug mode and stop after each
POR instruction.
If GPULDBG = ‘0’ during HRESET transition from low to high, then run POR without stopping after each POR instruction.
Toggling GPULDBG from ‘1’ to ‘0’ later on will exit the POR debug mode and continue without stopping after each instruction. See
the PowerPC 970MP Power-On Reset Application Note. for more information.
