4. Clock and reset
RDA5856TE has a reference clock input from either a crystal or an external clock source. There are
two internal PLL which use XTAL clock as reference. They are used for system and audio
applications.
Figure 3 Clock Structure
RDA5856TE has several reset sources, as following:
POR
Entire SoC is reset after power supply ramping from 0v to VBAT.
External Pin Reset
Entire SoC is reset except PMU.
Warm Reset
Global soft reset
DBB can be reset by set soft reset register in system control register map.
Watch Dog Reset
DBB will be reset when watch dog timer expired.
5. MCU
RDA RISC is a 16/32-bits processor which using a Reduced Instruction Set Architecture, an efficient
6-stage instruction pipeline, it provides high performance to the system.
RDA RISC Core.
32x32-bit Multiplier.
