Figure 9-3. MCU Start-up, RESET Extended Externally
Note: 1. Before rising, the supply has to be between V
PORMIN
and V
PORMAX
to ensure a Reset.
9.4 External Reset
An External Reset is generated by a low level on the RESET pin if enabled. Reset pulses lon-
ger than the minimum pulse width (see “System and Reset Characterizations” on page 181)
will generate a reset, even if the clock is not running. Shorter pulses are not guaranteed to
generate a reset. When the applied signal reaches the Reset Threshold Voltage – V
RST
– on
its positive edge, the delay counter starts the MCU after the Time-out period – t
TOUT
–
has
expired.
