Reset and standby
The device can be reset and put into Standby mode through the STBY/RESET pin. When it
is forced low, all the gates are turned off (High Z state), the charge pump is stopped, the SPI
interface and control logic are disabled and the internal
V
REG
voltage regulator maximum
output current is limited; as a result, the L6482 heavily reduces the power consumption. At
the same time the register values are reset to their default and all the protection functions
are disabled. The STBY/RESET input must be forced low at least for t
STBY,min
in order to
ensure the complete switch to Standby mode.
On exiting Standby mode, as well as for IC power-up, a delay must be given before applying
a new command to allow proper oscillator and charge pump startup. Actual delay could vary
according to the values of the charge pump external components.
On exiting Standby mode all the gates are off and the HiZ flag is high.
The registers can be reset to the default values without putting the device into Standby
mode through the ResetDevice command (
).

External switch (SW pin)
The SW input is internally pulled up to V
DD
and detects if the pin is open or connected to
ground (see
).
The SW_F bit of the STATUS register indicates if the switch is open (‘0’) or closed (‘1’)
(
); the bit value is refreshed at every system clock cycle (125 ns). The
SW_EVN flag of the STATUS register is raised when a switch turn-on event (SW input falling
edge) is detected (
). A GetStatus command releases the SW_EVN flag
(
By default, a switch turn-on event causes a HardStop interrupt (SW_MODE bit of the
CONFIG register set to ‘0’). Otherwise (SW_MODE bit of the CONFIG register set to ‘1’),
