## Power & Reset

The RZG2LC/UL SOM power source is a single 5V source. It uses Renesas’s PMIC to source all the SOM's power rails. The following figure describes the power architecture.

![](/files/ksxCKhQdmZ7w1rYLOukM)

The power architecture main features are:

* Single 5V power source.
* Renesas’s RAA215300 source the RZG2LC/UL power rails.
* 3.3V output up to 1A (Need to calculate system and SOM power).
* Power up sequence is supported by the PMIC configuration.

#### RESET

The PMIC generate the POR. A reset signal (PMIC\_CRST\_IN#) from the carrier board can generate a POR.

The PMIC supports a Power ON/OFF signal that can disable/enable all power signals beside RTC.

The PMIC supports an RTC that can be powered by a battery (on SOM).

## RZG2LC/UL INTEGRATION MANUAL

#### POWER UP SEQUENCE

The RZG2LC/UL is sourced by a single 5V input. All power sequences are supported by the PMIC.

When using the SOM 3.3V output there is no need to consider its power sequence. If an external power source is used for the 3.3V, it needs to be power according to the power sequence rules. (See RZG2LC/UL datasheet for details)

#### BOOTING OPTIONS

**Strap pins Booting**

The RZG2LC/UL boost from different NVM or serial interfaces according to an external's resistors setting. The boot configuration is set by the three configuration signals, below is a table describing the configuration modes

#### I2C INTERFACES

The RZG2LC/UL uses I2C2 (PMIC) interfaces for its internal configurations.

#### GPIO INTERFACES

The RZG2LC SOM uses some GPIO signals for its internal controls. The following table describes the GPIO allocation.

| **Signal**  | **I/O** | **Description**    | **Remarks** |
| ----------- | ------- | ------------------ | ----------- |
| ENET\_nINT  | P27\_0  | Ethernet interrupt | Active Low  |
| WL\_REG\_ON | P23\_0  | Enable the WLAN    | Active High |
| BT\_REG\_ON | P23\_1  | Enable the BT      | Active High |
| PMIC\_WDOG  | P4\_1   | Watchdog Out       | Active Low  |
