Jetson Orin Nx SyS_Reset issue

Hi Nvidia,

We have used NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nx module for our ongoing project, we need to use Sys_reset signal of Orin Nx along with other SOM module reset, But Sys_reset of Orin Nx is 1.8V signalling nature but other SOM works in 3.3V signalling environment. For this we have used a voltage level translator at Sys_reset for converting 1.8V to 3.3V. But this is causing orin NX sys_reset go low which in turn avoiding the Orin to boot up.

So, how to use Sys_reset within a system, are there any recommendations or reference. Please revert ASAP.

Thanks & Regards,
Venkat.

Please share a system diagram for better understanding your design. Are you testing on devkit or custom board?

Hi Trumany,.

We are testing on custom board where we have used a voltage level translator for level shifting Sys_reset from 1.8V to 3.3V. But, the issue is when the sys_rest is connected to the level translator, the Sys_reset is going low and GPU module is not powering ON. when i non mounted the voltage translator IC, The GPU module sys_reset is going high and booting up successfully.

The implementation block diagram of sys_reset is attached for your reference

SYS_RST should not be pulled low by carrier board during boot. It is your level shift issue. You may need to use another one which won’t pull SYS_RST low.

Hi Trumany,

Can you suggest the implementation. As per the datasheet of the level shifter, it doesn’t pull high or Low the signal.

Venkat.

You can try to power on this 1.8V and 3.3V later after boot.
