Notes: 1. The Power-On Reset will not work unless the supply voltage has been below Vpot (falling).
The user can select the start-up time according to typical oscillator start-up. The number of WDT oscillator cycles used for
each time-out is shown in Table 4. The frequency of the watchdog oscillator is voltage dependent as shown in “Typical
characteristics” on page 71.
Power-On Reset
A Power-On Reset (POR) circuit ensures that the device is reset from power-on. As shown in Figure 23, an internal timer is
clocked from the Watchdog timer. This timer prevents the MCU from starting until after a certain period after V
CC
has
reached the Power-On Threshold voltage - V
POT
(see Figure 24). The FSTRT fuse bit in the Flash can be programmed to
give a shorter start-up time if a ceramic resonator or any other fast-start oscillator is used to clock the MCU.
If the built-in start-up delay is sufficient, RESET
can be connected to V
CC
directly or via an external pull-up resistor. By
holding the RESET
pin low for a period after V
CC
has been applied, the Power-On Reset period can be extended. Refer to
Figure 25 for a timing example on this.
