This configuration does not work on open drain outputs of the STM6321/6322/6822.

Interfacing to microprocessors with bi-directional reset pins

Microprocessors with bi-directional reset pins can contend with the STM6321 / 6322 / 6821 /

6822 / 6823 / 6824 / 6825 reset output. For example, if the reset output is driven high and the

microprocessor wants to pull it low, signal contention will result. To prevent this from

occurring, connect a 4.7k

Ω resistor between the reset output and the microprocessor’s reset

I/O as in Figure 14.
