2.5 Resets
This section describes how to reset the CRG, and how the CRG itself controls the reset of the MCU. It
explains all special reset requirements. Since the reset generator for the MCU is part of the CRG, this
section also describes all automatic actions that occur during or as a result of individual reset conditions.
The reset values of registers and signals are provided in Section 2.3, “Memory Map and Register
Definition”. All reset sources are listed in Table 2-14. Refer to MCU specification for related vector
addresses and priorities.
2.5.1 Description of Reset Operation
The reset sequence is initiated by any of the following events:
• Low level is detected at the RESET pin (external reset)
• Power on is detected
• Low voltage is detected
• Illegal Address Reset is detected (see S12XMMC Block Guide for details)
• COP watchdog times out
• Clock monitor failure is detected and self-clock mode was disabled (SCME=0)
Upon detection of any reset event, an internal circuit drives the
RESET pin low for 128 SYSCLK cycles
(see Figure 2-25). Since entry into reset is asynchronous, it does not require a running SYSCLK. However,
the internal reset circuit of the CRG cannot sequence out of current reset condition without a running
SYSCLK. The number of 128 SYSCLK cycles might be increased by n = 3 to 6 additional SYSCLK cycles
depending on the internal synchronization latency. After 128 + n SYSCLK cycles the
RESET pin is
released. The reset generator of the CRG waits for additional 64 SYSCLK cycles and then samples the
RESET pin to determine the originating source. Table 2-15 shows which vector will be fetched.
