An internal reset clears the SIM counter (see SIM Counter), but an 
external reset does not. Each of the resets sets a corresponding bit in 
the SIM reset status register (SRSR). See SIM Registers.
19.4.1 External Pin Reset
The RST pin circuit includes an internal pullup device. Pulling the 
asynchronous RST pin low halts all processing. The PIN bit of the SIM 
reset status register (SRSR) is set as long as RST is held low for a 
minimum of 67 CGMXCLK cycles, assuming that neither the POR nor 
the LVI was the source of the reset. See Table 19-2 for details. Figure 
19-4 shows the relative timing.

19.4.2 Active Resets from Internal Sources
All internal reset sources actively pull the RST pin low for 32 CGMXCLK 
cycles to allow resetting of external peripherals. The internal reset signal 
IRST continues to be asserted for an additional 32 cycles. See Figure 
19-5. An internal reset can be caused by an illegal address, illegal 
opcode, COP timeout, LVI, or POR. See Figure 19-6. 
NOTE: For LVI or POR resets, the SIM cycles through 4096 CGMXCLK cycles 
during which the SIM forces the RST pin low. The internal reset signal
