hi are you generating the resets based on the incoming power? thy should be generated based on the latest on-board-generated supply voltage in the voltage-sequencing chain. i hope these are sequenced to each other on your board, and not just staring immediatelly after they got the input voltage from the same common main input. if the incoming power causes problems for you, then maybe you should generate all voltages on your board with controlled start times and ramp rates, so it will work with any input ACDC adapters. we had problems with some boards needing a controlled ramp rate to function correctly. and as steve weir said, use a bigger cap at the cable input. play around with capacitor values in the lab, like 10uF...1000uF. use through-hole caps for finding the value easily, use tantalium later, but validate the tantalium with the chosen value. sometimes DCDC converters dont work, or continously or periodically limit the output current or oscillate when the input source is not strong and stable. a cable is never strong and stable.
