With an external divider on pin PORADJ

If an external resistor bridge is connected to pin PORADJ (R1 and R2 in Figure 1), then the

following occurs:

hysteresis, therefore:

Input PORADJ is biased internally with a pull-down current source of 4 µA which is removed

when the voltage on pin PORADJ exceeds 1 V.

This ensures that after detection of the external bridge by the IC during power-on, the input

current on pin PORADJ does not cause inaccuracy of the bridge voltage.

The minimum threshold voltage should be higher than 2 V. The maximum threshold voltage

Application examples

The voltage supervisor is used as power-on reset and as supply dropout detection during a

card session. Supply dropout detection is to ensure that a proper deactivation sequence is

followed before the voltage is too low. For the internal voltage supervisor to function, the

system microcontroller should operate down to 2.35 V to ensure a proper deactivation

sequence. If this is not possible, external resistor values can be chosen to overcome the

problem.

Clock circuitry

The card clock signal (CLK) is derived from a clock signal input to pin XTAL1 or from a

crystal operating at up to 26 MHz connected between pins XTAL1 and XTAL2.

is made via inputs CLKDIV1 and CLKDIV2 (see Table 21).
