The following is recommended power on sequence.  There are three I/O pins in RTC power domain: 1. PPRST_N: Power on reset and hardware reset signal input   2. WKUP_N: Power on signal input 3. PWRON: Power on signal output to turn on DCDC/LDO/Power switches Note: There is an R-C delay circuit on A76 for power on reset sequence, so you may consider PPRSET_N only as HW reset.    The following are two power on sequences for typical applications
Doc Title  Linkplay WiFiAudio-A76 Specification  Number  WMB20170117Version  1.2  Document No.: WMB20170117    Page 16 of 21  Power on Sequence #1:   Step 1: Input 1.8V~3.3V power from DC IN or Battery to “VDDRTC” pin, then RTC power domain turns active Step 2: Input a pulse (low level active, more than 160ms) to “WKUP_N” pin Step 3: Once A76 gets this pulse , it will continuously output a high level signal from PWNON pin to turn on every DCDC/LDO Step 4: DCDC on, 5V power supply to A76 5VIN pin Step 5:A76 generate every power voltage needed inside the module Step 6:A76 generate power-on reset inside the module, system boot up
Doc Title  Linkplay WiFiAudio-A76 Specification  Number  WMB20170117Version  1.2  Document No.: WMB20170117    Page 17 of 21   Power on sequence #2: (Apply to the user case that there is external MCU in the system)   Step 1: MCU turn on the DC/DC and 5V power supply to A76 through “5VIN” Step 2:A76 generate every power voltage needed inside the module. Step3:A76 generate power-on reset inside the module and system boot up.  Note 1:  Once  5VIN power is  stable,  current  drain  from  “VDDRTC”  pin  is  no longer exist, A76 will generate a voltage supply to VDDRTC power domain itself, on purpose of reducing power consumption of RTC battery.  Note 2: During the process of system power-on, every signal connected to A76(I2S,I2C,GPIO,UART etc..) should configured  as  GPIO  and  set  to  High-Z  or  input  mode.  Please  strictly  avoid  high  level  signals  on  these  traces, otherwise it may cause wrong power sequence and system boot up failed.  2.6 USB Host Port Please follow the design rule below to populate the USB host interface: Item  Parameter Signal Group USB Topology  Differential Pair Point-to-Point Reference Plane  Ground Referenced Characteristic Trace Impedance (Zo)  90 Ω ±10%
