A.3.1.1 POR
The release level V
PORR
and the assert level V
PORA
are derived from the V
DD
Supply. They are also valid
if the device is powered externally. After releasing the POR reset the oscillator and the clock quality check
are started. If after a time t
CQOUT
no valid oscillation is detected, the MCU will start using the internal self
clock. The fastest startup time possible is given by n
uposc
.
A.3.1.2 LVR
The release level V
LVRR
and the assert level V
LVRA
are derived from the V
DD
Supply. They are also valid
if the device is powered externally. After releasing the LVR reset the oscillator and the clock quality check
are started. If after a time t
CQOUT
no valid oscillation is detected, the MCU will start using the internal self
clock. The fastest startup time possible is given by n
uposc
.
A.3.1.3 SRAM Data Retention
Provided an appropriate external reset signal is applied to the MCU, preventing the CPU from executing
code when VDD5 is out of specification limits, the SRAM contents integrity is guaranteed if after the reset
the PORF bit in the CRG Flags Register has not been set.
A.3.1.4 External Reset
When external reset is asserted for a time greater than PW
RSTL
the CRG module generates an internal
reset, and the CPU starts fetching the reset vector without doing a clock quality check, if there was an
oscillation before reset.
A.3.1.5 Stop Recovery
Out of STOP the controller can be woken up by an external interrupt. A clock quality check as after POR
is performed before releasing the clocks to the system.
A.3.1.6 Pseudo Stop and Wait Recovery
The recovery from Pseudo STOP and Wait are essentially the same since the oscillator was not stopped in
both modes. The controller can be woken up by internal or external interrupts. After t
wrs
the CPU starts
fetching the interrupt vector.
