Quick Facts
What?
The RMU ensures correct reset operation. It is re-
sponsible for connecting the different reset sources
to the reset lines of the EFR32.
Why?
A correct reset sequence is needed to ensure safe
and synchronous startup of the EFR32. In the case
of error situations such as power supply glitches or
software crash, the RMU provides proper reset and
startup of the EFR32.
How?
The Power-on Reset and Brown-out Detector of the
EFR32 provides power line monitoring with excep-
tionally low power consumption. The cause of the re-
set may be read from a register, thus providing soft-
ware with information about the cause of the reset.
