The PMIC continually monitors the MCU reset signal (XRSN) through the NRST pin. The PMIC NRST read-back circuit compares the external logic level on the NRST pin with the internally applied NRST logic level. If this read-back circuit detects a difference between these two logic levels, the device sets the NRST read-back error. An NRST read-back error can cause the PMIC to enter a safe state during which the MCU supplies are turned off.
A reset initiated through the on-board reset switch (SW1) or a software reset initiated by the MCU can inadvertently trigger a PMIC NRST read-back error and cause the MCU supplies to shut down. The PMIC's NRST read-back feature has been effectively disabled by disconnecting the NRST pin from the MCU XRSN pin.
