ATtiny11/12
1006D–AVR–07/03
Reset Sources The ATtiny11/12 provides three or four sources of reset:
• Power-on Reset. The MCU is reset when the supply voltage is below the power-on
reset threshold (V
POT
).
• External Reset. The MCU is reset when a low level is present on the RESET
pin for
more than 50 ns.
• Watchdog Reset. The MCU is reset when the Watchdog timer period expires and
the Watchdog is enabled.
• Brown-out Reset. The MCU is reset when the supply voltage V
CC
falls below a
certain voltage (ATtiny12 only).
During reset, all I/O registers are then set to their initial values, and the program starts
execution from address $000. The instruction placed in address $000 must be an RJMP
– relative jump – instruction to the reset handling routine. If the program never enables
an interrupt source, the interrupt vectors are not used, and regular program code can be
placed at these locations. The circuit diagram in Figure 16 shows the reset logic for the
ATtiny11. Figure 17 shows the reset logic for the ATtiny12. Table 6 defines the electrical
parameters of the reset circuitry for ATtiny11. Table 8 shows the parameters of the reset
circuitry for ATtiny12.

Note: 1. The Power-on Reset will not work unless the supply voltage has been below V
POT
(falling).
