General Hardware Design Considerations—Intel®IXP45X and Intel® IXP46X Product Line of Network Processors

For a complete description of their functionality, see the Intel® IXP45X and Intel® IXP46X Product Line of Network Processors Datasheet and its section titled “Reset Timings.” PWRON_RESET_N is used as a Power Good and RESET_IN_N is used for resetting internal registers.

The IXP45X/IXP46X network processors can be configured at reset de-assertion via external, pull-down resistors on the address expansion bus signals EX_ADDR[23:21]. For a complete description, see Section 3.3.2, “Reset Configuration Straps” on page 21.
