Control Signals
nPBIN Input
Enable Inputs
The ACT8933 features a variety of control inputs,
which are used to enable and disable outputs
depending upon the desired mode of operation.
PWREN, PWRHLD are logic inputs, while nPBIN is
a unique, multi-function input. Refer to Table 5 for a
description of which channels are controlled by
each input.
nPBIN Multi-Function Input
ACT8933 features the nPBIN multi-function pin,
which combines system enable/disable control with
a hardware reset function. Select either of the two
pin functions by asserting this pin, either through a
direct connection to GA, or through a 50kꢀ resistor
to GA, as shown in Figure 2.
nPBSTAT Output
nPBSTAT is an open-drain output that reflects the
state of the nPBIN input; nPBSTAT is asserted low
whenever nPBIN is asserted, and is high-Z
otherwise. This output is typically used as an
interrupt signal to the processor, to initiate a
software-programmable routine such as operating
mode selection or to open a menu. Connect
nPBSTAT to an appropriate supply voltage
(typically OUT5) through a 10kꢀ or greater resistor.
Manual Reset Function
The second major function of the nPBIN input is to
provide a manual-reset input for the processor. To
manually-reset the processor, drive nPBIN directly
to GA through a low impedance (less than 2.5kꢀ).
When this occurs, nRSTO immediately asserts low,
then remains asserted low until the nPBIN input is
de-asserted and the reset time-out period expires.
nRSTO Output
nRSTO is an open-drain output which asserts low
