The AON domain is continuously powered from an off-chip power source, either a regulated
power supply or a battery.
The AON domain is clocked by the low-frequency clock,
lfclk
. The core domain’s Tilelink
peripheral bus uses the high-frequency
coreClk
. A HF-LF power-clock-domain crossing
(VCDC) bridges between the two power and clock domains.
An alternative low-frequency clock source can be provided via the
aon_lfaltclksel
and
aon_lfaltclk
pads.
An AON reset is the widest reset on the FE310-G002, and resets all state except for the JTAG
debug interface.
An AON reset can be triggered by an on-chip power-on reset (POR) circuit when power is first
applied to the AON domain, an external active-low reset pin (
erst_n
), a debug unit reset
(
ndreset
), or expiration of the watchdog timer (
wdogrst
).
These sources provide a short initial reset pulse
frst
, which is extended by a reset stretcher to
provide the LFROSC reset signal
lfroscrst
and a longer stretched internal reset,
srst
.
The
lfroscrst
signal is used to initialize the ring oscillator in the LFROSC. This oscillator pro-
vides
lfclk
, which is used to clock the AON.
lfclk
is also used as the clock input to
mtime
in
the CLINT.
The
srst
strobe is passed to a reset synchronizer clocked by
lfclk
to generate
aonrst
, an
asychronous-onset/synchronous-release reset signal used to reset most of the AON block.
The "mostly off" (MOFF) resets
coreclkrst
and
corerst
are generated by the Power Manage-
ment Unit (PMU) state machine after
aonrst
is deasserted.
The power-on-reset circuit holds its output low until the voltage in the AON block rises above a
preset threshold.
