Can I just tie reset pin from a flash chip to VCC?

Flash reset pin...

Can I just tie reset from a flash chip to VCC?

Want to avoid adding reset circuitry just for this flash in a small PCB design.
Or should I use basic R/C/D circuit to generate reset at power-up?

Better using R/C/D to allow for sttling time of PSU before system reset.

1. Check is the device you're using have POR.
2. There are many low cost reset generators out there.
They are the best.

Hi davorin

Most modern Flash-chips (i.e. AM29LV..) have an internal reset-circuitry. They start-up in read-mode, what is surely what you want. So you can tie this pin directly to VCC.

Was hoping for that (o;

Last solution for me would be to use FPGA internal reset generation...but can't say how it would affect the rest of the existing design (internal z80 core).
