Reset and System Clock Operation
5.1
Hardware Reset Operation
The hardware reset function incorporated in the C541U allows for an easy automatic start-up at a
minimum of additional hardware and forces the controller to a predefined default state. The
hardware reset function can also be used during normal operation in order to restart the device. This
is particularly done when the power down mode is to be terminated.
Additional to the hardware reset, which is applied externally to the device, there are two internal
reset sources, the watchdog timer and the oscillator watchdog. This chapter deals only with the
external hardware reset.
The RESET input is an active high input. An internal Schmitt trigger is used at the input for noise
rejection. Since the reset is synchronized internally, the RESET pin must be held high for at least
two machine cycles (12 oscillator periods) while the oscillator is running. With the oscillator running
the internal reset is executed during the second machine cycle and is repeated every cycle until
RESET goes low again.
During reset, pins ALE and PSEN are configured as inputs and should not be stimulated or driven
externally. (An external stimulation at these lines during reset activates several test modes which
are reserved for test purposes. This in turn may cause unpredictable output operations at several
port pins).
At the RESET pin, a pulldown resistor is internally connected to
V
SS
to allow a power-up reset with
an external capacitor only. An automatic power-up reset can be obtained when
V
DD
is applied by
connecting the RESET pin to
V
DD
via a capacitor. After
V
DD
has been turned on, the capacitor must
hold the voltage level at the reset pin for a specific time to effect a complete reset.
The time required for a reset operation is the oscillator start-up time plus 2 machine cycles, which,
under normal conditions, must be at least 10 - 20 ms for a crystal oscillator. This requirement is
typically met using a capacitor of 4.7 to 10
µ
F. The same considerations apply if the reset signal is
generated externally (figure 5-1 b). In each case it must be assured that the oscillator has started
up properly and that at least two machine cycles have passed before the reset signal goes inactive.
