1.

Interfacing to processors with bi-directional reset pins

Most processors with bi-directional reset pins can interface directly to the open drain

RST outputs (STM6717/19/77/79). Systems simultaneously requiring a push-pull RST

output and a bi-directional reset interface can be in logic contention. To prevent this

contention, connect a 4.7 k

Ω resistor between RST and the processor’s reset I/O as

shown in Figure 11.

2.

The STM67xx supervisors are guaranteed to be in the correct RST output logic state

Figure 12) will ensure that the reset line is valid while the reset output can no longer

sink or source current. This scheme does NOT work with the open drain outputs of the

STM6717/19/77/79.

The resistor value used is not critical, but it must be large enough not to load the reset

adequate.
