nRSTO Output
(XPWRRGTON), to ensure that the system remains
powered after nPBIN is released. Once the power-
up routine is completed, the system remains
enabled after the push-button is released as long as
PWRHLD is asserted high. If the processor does
not assert PWRHLD before the user releases the
push-button, the boot-up sequence is terminated
and all regulators are disabled. This provides
protection against "false-enable", when the push-
button is accidentally depressed, and also ensures
that the system remains enabled only if the
processor successfully completes the boot-up
sequence.
nRSTO is an open-drain output which asserts low
upon startup or when manual reset is asserted via
the nPBIN input. When asserted on startup, nRSTO
remains low until reset time-out period expires.
When asserted due to manual-reset, nRSTO
immediately asserts low, then remains asserted low
until the nPBIN input is de-asserted and the reset
time-out period expires.
Connect a 10kꢀ or greater pull-up resistor from
nRSTO to an appropriate voltage supply.
nIRQ Output
As with the enable sequence, a typical disable
sequence is initiated when the user presses the
push-button, which interrupts the processor via the
nPBSTAT output. The actual disable sequence is
completely software-controlled, but typically
involved initiating various “clean-up” processes
before the processor finally de-asserts PWRHLD.
nIRQ is an open-drain output that asserts low any
time an interrupt is generated. Connect a 10kꢀ or
greater pull-up resistor from nIRQ to an appropriate
voltage supply. nIRQ is typically used to drive the
interrupt input of the system processor.
Many of the ACT8847's functions support interrupt-
generation as a result of various conditions. These
are typically masked by default, but may be
unmasked via the I2C interface. For more
information about the available fault conditions,
refer to the appropriate sections of this datasheet.
SLEEP Mode Sequence
The ACT8847 supports S5PC210 / S5PV310
processors’ SLEEP mode operation. Once a
successful power-up routine has been completed,
SLEEP mode may be initiated through a variety of
software-controlled mechanisms.
Push-Button Control
The ACT8847 is designed to initiate a system
enable sequence when the nPBIN multi-function
input is asserted. Once this occurs, a power-on
sequence commences, as described below. The
power-on sequence must complete and the
microprocessor must take control (by asserting
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 ACT8847 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 PWREN or PWRHLD.
SLEEP mode is typically initiated when the user
presses the push-button during normal operation.
Pressing the push-button asserts the nPBIN input,
which asserts the nPBSTAT output, which
interrupts the processor. In response to this
interrupt the processor should de-assert

REG2/3/4/5/8/9/10/11. PWRHLD should remain
asserted during SLEEP mode so that REG1/6/7/12
remain enabled.
The ACT8847 wakes up from SLEEP mode when
either the push-button and/or PWREN
(XPWRRGTON)
is asserted. In either case,

Enabling/Disabling Sequence
A typical enable sequence is initiated whenever the
nPBIN is asserted low via 50Kꢀ resistance. The
power control diagram is shown in Figure 3. During
the boot sequence, the microprocessor must assert
