Reset and Initialisation
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. The entire I/O data and port mode registers will power up to ensure that all pins will be
first set to the quasi-bidirection structure.
Although the microcontroller has an internal RC reset function, if the VDD 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 RESET pin, whose additional time delay will ensure that the
RESET 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 RESET line reaches
a certain voltage value, the reset delay time of t
SST
, which is equal to 1024 system clock pulses, 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. When the Power-on reset
takes place, the PORF bit in the RSTSRC register will be set high to indicate this reset.
