In a typical TPS3704-Q1 application, the RESETx/RESETx output is connected to a reset or enable input of a processor [such as a digital signal processor (DSP), application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), or other processor type] or the enable input of a voltage regulator [such as a DC/DC converter or low-dropout regulator (LDO)].

The TPS3704-Q1 has open-drain active low outputs that require an external pullup resistor to hold these lines high to the required voltage logic. Connect the external pullup resistor to the proper voltage rail to enable the output to be connected to other devices at the correct interface voltage levels. To ensure proper voltage levels, give some consideration when choosing the external pullup resistor values. The external pull-up resistor value is determined by V_OL, output capacitive loading, and output leakage current. These values are specified in
Section 6.5. The open-drain output can be connected as a wired-OR logic with other RESETx/RESETx open-drain pins.
