Hello
I'm involved in a new imx28 hardware design .
I need information about status of GPIO pin when the reset is active and immediately after , when the reset is released .
Reading IMX28 data sheet reference manuale , I found the following information :
9.2.1 Reset Configuration
Out of reset (hardware/software reset), all the pins (except JTAG related) are
configured as GPIO inputs with gate keepers enabled.
So I need to know :
1) When the reset pin is active (that is : RESET = LOW) are the GPIO pins input (high impedance) or the gate keeper is already enabled ?
2) I need information about structure of gate keeper ; gate keeper sink/source current or is high impedance circuit ?
Gate keeper looks like as a weak pull up or weak pull down but it si not very clear ! In the case that the GPIO pin
is connected to drive a mosfet gate for a led activation , wihich is the logic level present on the GPIO pin when gate
keeper is enabled ?
Thanks in advance
Solved! Go to Solution.
The GPIO pins will revert to input will gate keeper enabled once a valid reset is detected.
In your application, it is suggested to use an external pull-up or pull-down on the pin to make sure the pin for driving the fet is in a correct state out of reset.
