Notes:
1.
This delay is typically created from an RC circuit.
2.
The oscillator startup times are component and design specific. A crystal oscillator can take as long as
2 s to reach a large enough voltage swing. Whereas, a silicon oscillator can have startups times
<10 ms.
Power-Up Sequence without G2/G3: No Coin-Cell Battery
This sequence must be adhered to in cases where one of the following conditions apply:
1. The system does not implement an RTC battery (coin cell) or a main battery.
2. The coin cell is drained with no main or a dead main battery.
3. No coin cell implemented or dead coin cell and main battery is being swapped.
AND one of the following conditions also applies:
1. The platform does not implement a power button to initiate a sequence to S0, and
AC power becomes available.
2. The platform does use a power button, but the default first sequence when power is
available is entry into S0.
In these cases, the relative timing between RTC and suspend wells becomes important.
The key point is that, as well as a minimum time, there is a maximum time by which
RTCRST_B must be deasserted. It must happen before an internal reset associated with
the suspend well is deasserted. This is shown in Figure 20.
