Power-Down and External Reset Issue

Hello,

I could make LPC1754 to get into Power-Down mode, but although it is not stated in its user manual, a signal on External Reset pin causes mcu to wake-up. I would like to know if it is usual. If not, how can i prevent wake up from external reset signal?

Thank you.

Hi Silex,

Asserting an external reset signal while in a low power mode will reset the MCU, this is typical. I believe the external reset pin is all hardware controlled meaning there is no way to "disable" it.
