PWRHLD) before nPBIN is de-asserted. If the

microprocessor is unable to complete its power-up

routine successfully before the user releases the

push-button, the ACT8931A automatically shuts the

system down. This provides protection against

accidental or momentary assertions of the push-

button. If desired, longer “push-and-hold” times can

be implemented by simply adding an additional time

delay before asserting PWRHLD.

Control Sequences

The ACT8931A features a variety of control

sequences that are optimized for supporting system

enable and disable sequences of

Rockchip

RK2928/RK2926 application processors.

Enabling/Disabling Sequence

A typical enable sequence is initiated whenever the

following conditions occurs:

1) nPBIN is asserted low via 50KΩ resistance, or

2) A valid input voltage is present at CHGIN2

The enable sequence begins by enabling REG1.

When the first regulator (REG1) reaches its power-

OK threshold, nRSTO is asserted low, resetting the

microprocessor. When REG1 reaches its power-OK

threshold for 2ms , REG2 and REG3 are enabled.

If REG1 is above its power-OK threshold when the

reset timer expires, nRSTO is de-asserted, allowing

the microprocessor to begin its boot sequence.

REG4, REG5, REG6 and REG7 can be enabled or

disabled by I2C after system powers up.

During the boot sequence, the microprocessor must

assert PWRHLD, holding the regulators to ensure

that the system remains powered after nPBIN is

released.

As with the enable sequence, a typical disable

sequence is initiated when the user presses the

push-button, which interrupts the processors via the

nPBSTAT output. The actual disable sequence is

completely

software-controlled,

but

typically

involved initiating various “clean-up” processes

before finally set MSTROFF[ ] bit to 1 to shut the

system down.

: Typical value shown, actual delay time may vary from (T-1ms) x 88% to T x 112%, where T is the typical delay time setting.

: Applicable only for ACT8931AQJ6##.
