8.4.2.1 Power-On Reset
When power is first applied to the MCU, the power-on reset module
(POR) generates a pulse to indicate that power-on has occurred. The
external reset pin (RST) is held low while the SIM counter counts out
4096 OSCXCLK cycles. Sixty-four OSCXCLK cycles later, the CPU and
memories are released from reset to allow the reset vector sequence to
occur.
At power-on, the following events occur:
• A POR pulse is generated.
• The internal reset signal is asserted.
• The SIM enables the oscillator to drive OSCXCLK.
• Internal clocks to the CPU and modules are held inactive for 4096
OSCXCLK cycles to allow stabilization of the oscillator.
• The RST pin is driven low during the oscillator stabilization time.
• The POR bit of the reset status register (RSR) is set and all other
bits in the register are cleared.
