Reset Functions
There are several ways in which a microcontroller reset can occur, through events occurring both
internally and externally
:
Power-on Reset
The most fundamental and unavoidable reset is the one that occurs after power is first applied to
the microcontroller. As well as ensuring that the Program Memory begins execution from the first
memory address, a power-on reset also ensures that certain other registers are preset to known
conditions. All the I/O port and port control registers will power up in a high condition ensuring that
all pins will be first set to inputs.
Note: t
RSTD
is power-on delay, typical time=50ms

RES Pin Reset
Although the microcontroller has an internal RC reset function, if the V
DD
power supply rise time
is not fast enough or does not stabilise quickly at power-on, the internal reset function may be
incapable of providing proper reset operation. For this reason it is recommended that an external
RC network is connected to the RES pin, whose additional time delay will ensure that the RES pin
remains low for an extended period to allow the power supply to stabilise. During this time delay,
normal operation of the microcontroller will be inhibited. After the RES line reaches a certain
voltage value, the reset delay time t
RSTD
is invoked to provide an extra delay time after which the
microcontroller will begin normal operation. The abbreviation SST in the figures stands for System
Start-up Timer.
For most applications a resistor connected between V
DD
and the RES pin and a capacitor connected
between VSS and the RES pin will provide a suitable external reset circuit. Any wiring connected
to the RES pin should be kept as short as possible to minimize any stray noise interference. For
applications that operate within an environment where more noise is present the Enhanced Reset
Circuit shown is recommended.
