ADV7393 RESET pin connection and I²C configuration for reliable device detection

Category: Hardware
Product Number: ADV7393

Hello ADI team,

I’m designing with the ADV7393 video encoder, and I’d like to confirm the correct hardware connection for the RESET pin and how to ensure the device is properly recognized on the I²C bus after power-up.

From the datasheet:

  • RESET is described as an active-low input.

  • It must go through a high-to-low transition to trigger a hardware reset.

  • There’s mention of using an RC network if no MCU reset control is used.

My setup:

  • I have left RESET* pin as NC in my circuit.

Questions:

  1. Is connecting RESET to 3.3 V via a pull-up resistor correct when DVDDIO = 3.3 V?

  2. How long should RESET be held low after power-up to guarantee proper initialization?

  3. Are there any required delays between RESET release and the first I²C transaction to ensure the ADV7393 responds correctly?

  4. Is any additional hardware (like an RC delay) recommended to ensure reliable I²C detection after reset?

Thanks for your help!

  • Hi,

       Regarding RESET release, Normally we give 5ms after reset goes high.

       After setting the Chip RESET bit (or initiating a reset via the pin), the part returns to the default mode of operation with respect to its primary mode of operation, and so on. All I2C bits will be loaded with their default value, which makes this bit self-clearing.

    • Executing a software reset takes approximately 2ms. However, it is recommended to wait 5ms before any further I2C writes are performed.

    • The I2C master controller will receive a no acknowledge condition on the ninth clock cycle  when Chip Reset is implemented.

    • It is recommended to wait 5ms after the low pulse before an I2C write is performed.

    Note: Setting the Chip RESET bit is equivalent to controlling the Reset pin on the ADV739x and will issue a full chip reset. All I2C registers will be reset to their default values. After the reset sequence, the part will immediately start to acquire the incoming video signal.

     According to the datasheet specification, A hardware reset is necessary after power-up for correct device operation. If no hardware reset functionality is required by the application, the RESET pin can be connected to an RC network to provide the hardware reset necessary after power-up. After power-up, the time constant of the RC network holds the RESET pin low long enough to cause a reset to take place. All subsequent resets can be done via software.
