Figure 12-5. Typical Voltage on the RPD Pin While Exiting Powerdown
When selecting the capacitor, determine the worst-case discharge time needed for the oscillator
to stabilize, then use this formula to calculate an appropriate value for C
1
.
where:
C
1
is the capacitor value, in farads
T
DIS
is the worst-case discharge time, in seconds
I is the discharge current, in amperes
V
t
is the threshold voltage
NOTE
If powerdown is re-entered and exited before C
1
charges to V
CC
, it will take
less time for the voltage to ramp down to the threshold. Therefore, the device
will take less time to exit powerdown.
