VDMEN _{VDD Monitor Enable.}
This bit turns the V_DD monitor circuit on/off. The V_DD Monitor cannot generate sys-
tem resets until it is also selected as a reset source in register RSTSRC (SFR Def-
inition 17.2). Selecting the V_DD monitor as a reset source before it has stabilized
may generate a system reset. In systems where this reset would be undesirable, a
delay should be introduced between enabling the V_DD Monitor and selecting it as a
reset source.
0: V_DD Monitor Disabled.
1: V_DD Monitor Enabled.
6
VDDSTAT _{VDD Status.}
This bit indicates the current power supply status (V_DD Monitor output).
0: V_DD is at or below the V_DD monitor threshold.
1: V_DD is above the V_DD monitor threshold.
5:0 UNUSED Unused. Read = 000000b; Write = Don’t care.
17.3. External Reset
The external RST pin provides a means for external circuitry to force the device into a reset state. Assert-
ing an active-low signal on the RST pin generates a reset; an external pullup and/or decoupling of the RST
pin may be necessary to avoid erroneous noise-induced resets. See Section “6. Electrical Characteris-
tics” on page 27 for complete RST pin specifications. The PINRSF flag (RSTSRC.0) is set on exit from an
external reset.
17.4. Missing Clock Detector Reset
The Missing Clock Detector (MCD) is a one-shot circuit that is triggered by the system clock. If the system
clock remains high or low for more than 100 µs, the one-shot will time out and generate a reset. After a
MCD reset, the MCDRSF flag (RSTSRC.2) will read ‘1’, signifying the MCD as the reset source; otherwise,
this bit reads ‘0’. Writing a ‘1’ to the MCDRSF bit enables the Missing Clock Detector; writing a ‘0’ disables
it. The state of the RST pin is unaffected by this reset.
