Strap Options
Several balls are read at power-up that set up the state of
the SC1200/SC1201 processor. These balls are typically
multiplexed with other functions that are outputs after the
power-up sequence is complete. The SC1200/SC1201 pro-
cessor must read the state of the balls at power-up and the
internal PU or PD resistors do not guarantee the correct
state will be read. Therefore, it is required that an external

PU or PD resistor with a value of 1.5 KΩ be placed on the
balls listed in Table 3-4. The value of the resistor is impor-
tant to ensure that the proper state is read during the
power-up sequence. If the ball is not read correctly at
power-up, the SC1200/SC1201 processor may default to a
state that causes it to function improperly, possibly result-
ing in application failure.
