SC18IM700IPW - wakeup pin/function is not required in my design

[shai_b]

Hello Team,

Something I don't understand from the datasheet. 

In case the wakeup pin/function is not required in my design. Should it be pulled up or down?

In the datasheet, it said that this pin must have a 1k pull up to VDD. However, the chip is enabled by LOW from what I understand.

Please advise back, thanks in advance.

Respectfully, this answer is confusing.  Section 7.1.9 of the datasheet states that the SC18IM700 can only enter power-down mode if a specific message is received.  It also states that a 1k pullup is required from !WAKEUP to VDD.

Can the !WAKEUP pin be tied directly to ground to completely inhibit the power-down mode?

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

Hello Shai,

Yes, if you are not using the /WAKEUP function, you can just drive the /WAKEUP pin low.

If the state of the /WAKEUP input pin is high, then the device will be in the power-down mode.

Best regards,

Tomas
