14.3 Reset and System Initialization
The MCU has these reset sources:
Power-on reset module (POR)
External reset pin (RST
)
Computer operating properly module (COP)
Low-voltage inhibit module (LVI)
Illegal opcode
Illegal address
Forced monitor mode entry reset (MODRST)
All of these resets produce the vector $FFFE:$FFFF ($FEFE:$FEFF in monitor mode) and assert the
internal reset signal (IRST). IRST causes all registers to be returned to their default values and all
modules to be returned to their reset states.
An internal reset clears the SIM counter (see 14.4 SIM Counter), but an external reset does not. Each of
the resets sets a corresponding bit in the SIM reset status register (SRSR). See 14.7 SIM Registers.
A reset immediately stops the operation of the instruction being executed. Reset initializes certain control
and status bits. Reset selects CGMXCLK divided by four as the bus clock.
14.3.1 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 at
least the minimum t
RL
time and no other reset sources are present. Figure 14-4 shows the relative timing.
Figure 14-4. External Reset Timing
14.3.2 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 continues to be asserted for an additional 32 cycles at which point
the reset vector will be fetched. See Figure 14-5. An internal reset can be caused by an illegal address,
illegal opcode, COP timeout, LVI, or POR. See Figure 14-6.
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 then
follows the sequence from the falling edge of RST
shown in Figure 14-5.
The COP reset is asynchronous to the bus clock.
The active reset feature allows the part to issue a reset to peripherals and other chips within a system
built around the MCU.
