Note: The Bandgap macros for the LDOs will be reset on PORz only.
8.1.7.6
EMAC Switch Reset Isolation
The device will support reset isolation for the Ethernet Switch IP. This allows the device to undergo a warm reset without disrupting the switch or
traffic being routed through the switch during the reset condition.
If configured by registers in control module that EMAC reset isolation is active, then behavior is as follows:
Any “Warm” reset source(except the software warm reset) will be blocked to the EMAC switch logic in the IP (the IP has two reset inputs to
support such isolation) and to PLL (and it’s control bits) which is sourcing the EMAC switch clocks as required by the IP (50- or 125-MHz reference
clocks). Also, the EMAC switch related IO pins must retain their pin muxing and not glitch (continuously controlled by the EMAC switch IP) by
blocking reset to the controlling register bits.
If configured by registers in control module that EMAC reset isolation is NOT active (default state), then the warm reset sources are allowed to
propagate as normal including to the EMAC Switch IP (both reset inputs to the IP).
All cold or POR resets will always propagate to the EMAC switch IP as normal (as otherwise defined in this document).
8.1.7.7
Reset Priority
If more than one of these reset sources are asserted simultaneously then the following priority order should be used:
1. POR
2. TRSTz
3. External warm reset
4. Emulation
5. Reset requestors
6. Software resets
8.1.7.8
Trace Functionality Across Reset
Other than POR, TRSTz and SW cold reset, none of the other resets will affect trace functionality. This requires that Debug_SS has required reset
isolation for the trace logic. Also the Ios and muxing control (if any) for trace Ios should not get affected by any other reset. Since none of the PLLs
getting reset with other resets, clocks will be any way stable.
8.1.7.9
RTC PORz
AM335x supports RTC only mode by supplying dedicated power to RTC module. The RTC module has a dedicated PORz signal (RTC_PORz) to
reset RTC logic and circuitry during powerup. RTC_PORz is expected to be driven low when the RTC power supply is ramping up. After the power
supply reaches its stable value, the RTC_PORz can be de-asserted. The RTC module is not affected by the device PORz. Similarly RTC_PORz
does not affect the device reset.
If the RTC-only mode is not required, then PORz and RTC_PORz needs to be shorted. For power-up sequencing with respect to RTC_PORz, see
the device specific datasheet.
