Section 21: Power-Up Sequence and
Timing
Sequencing of Reset and Regulator Control Signals
The BCM43455 has two signals that allow the host to control power consumption by enabling or disabling the
Bluetooth, WLAN, and internal regulator blocks. These signals are described below. Additionally, diagrams are
provided to indicate proper sequencing of the signals for various operational states (see Figure 44, Figure 45
on page 152, and Figure 46 on page 153 and Figure 47 on page 153). The timing values indicated are minimum
required values; longer delays are also acceptable.
Description of Control Signals
•
WL_REG_ON: Used by the PMU to power-up the WLAN section. It is also OR-gated with the BT_REG_ON
input to control the internal BCM43455 regulators. When this pin is high, the regulators are enabled and the
WLAN section is out of reset. When this pin is low the WLAN section is in reset. If both the BT_REG_ON
and WL_REG_ON pins are low, the regulators are disabled.
•
BT_REG_ON: Used by the PMU (OR-gated with WL_REG_ON) to power-up the internal BCM43455
regulators. If both the BT_REG_ON and WL_REG_ON pins are low, the regulators are disabled. When this
pin is low and WL_REG_ON is high, the BT section is in reset.
Note: For both the WL_REG_ON and BT_REG_ON pins, there should be at least a 10 ms time delay
between consecutive toggles (where both signals have been driven low). This is to allow time for the
CBUCK regulator to discharge. If this delay is not followed, then there may be a VDDIO in-rush current
on the order of 36 mA during the next PMU cold start.
Note: The BCM43455 has an internal power-on reset (POR) circuit. The device will be held in reset
for a maximum of 110 ms after VDDC and VDDIO have both passed the POR threshold. Wait at least
150 ms after VDDC and VDDIO are available before initiating PCIe accesses.
Note: VBAT should not rise 10%–90% faster than 40 microseconds. VBAT should be up before or at
the same time as VDDIO. VDDIO should NOT be present first or be held high before VBAT is high.
