CPU Pin Design Proposal RESET Do not connect the RESET signal generator on the target system to the RESET signal of the FPL. Otherwise, a signal conflict will occur. To avoid the conflict, isolate the RESET signal generator from the RESET signal of the FPL. Do not generate RESET while the FPL is connected. This must be especially noted in a system that uses an external watchdog timer. Connect the RESET signal of the FPL at a point where the status of the programmer RESET signal and that of the CPU RESET pin are the same. Correct connection: CPU FPL RESET RESET Avoid the following RESET signal connection. • Connection to a point where the target CPU RESET rise time is slower than the FPL RESET rise time. Incorrect connection: CPU FPL RESET OC RESET It takes time for the CPU RESET pin to go high after the FPL RESET level goes from low to high. User’s Manual U17788EJ1V0UM 67 CHAPTER 7 NOTES ON TARGET SYSTEMS CPU Pin RESET Design Proposal • Connection to a point where the target CPU RESET pin cannot be driven to low level by the FPL RESET signal. Incorrect connection: CPU FPL RESET A RESET When the FPL RESET is driven low, the level of the voltage at point A does not fall. Serial When the CPU port used by the FPL is also connected to the input of an external device, and if that device interface pin malfunctions, disconnect the external device or make it output high impedance. Example: FP4 connector CPU S0/TxD External device Input Adverse effect While the CPU port used by the FPL is also connected to the output of an external device, and if a signal collision occurs, disconnect the external device. Example: FP4 connector CPU S1/RxD Collision External device Output Other For the unused pins, refer to the user's manual of the device. Some devices have pins that must be processed differently. For these pins as well, refer to the user's manual of the device. Example of pins processed differently: MODE CKSEL REGOUT REGIN, etc. 68 User’s Manual U17788EJ1V0UM CHAPTER 7 NOTES ON TARGET SYSTEMS The following show examples of the interface circuits of UART (asynchronous communication port).
