Reset and Power-Down Modes
The device supports two reset mechanisms: a
power-on reset (POR) and a pin-controlled reset
(RESET) that can be issued using pin 28. Both the
POR and RESET act as a master reset that causes
any ongoing conversion to be interrupted, the control
register content to be set to the default value, and all
channels to be switched into sample mode.
When the device is powered up, the POR sets the
device in default mode when AVDD reaches 1.5V.
When the device is powered down, the POR circuit
requires AVDD to remain below 125mV at least
350ms to ensure proper discharging of internal
capacitors and to ensure correct behavior of the
device when powered up again. If the AVDD drops
below 400mV but remains above 125mV (see the
undefined zone in Figure 41), the internal POR
capacitor does not discharge fully and the device
requires a pin-controlled reset to perform correctly
