22. Reset Sources and Supply Monitor
Reset circuitry allows the controller to be easily placed in a predefined default condition. Upon entering this
reset state, the following events occur:
CIP-51 halts program execution
Special Function Registers (SFRs) are initialized to their defined reset values
External port pins are placed in a known state
Interrupts and timers are disabled.
All SFRs are reset to the predefined values noted in the SFR detailed descriptions. The contents of internal
data memory are unaffected during a reset; any previously stored data is preserved. However, since the
stack pointer SFR is reset, the stack is effectively lost, even though the data on the stack is not altered.
The Port I/O latches are reset to 0xFF (all logic ones) in open-drain, low-drive mode. Weak pullups are
enabled during and after the reset. For V_DD Monitor and power-on resets, the RST pin is driven low until
the device exits the reset state. Note that during a power-on event, there may be a short delay before the
POR circuitry fires and the RST pin is driven low. During that time, the RST pin will be weakly pulled to the
V_DD supply pin.
On exit from the reset state, the program counter (PC) is reset, the Watchdog Timer is enabled and the
system clock defaults to the internal oscillator. Program execution begins at location 0x0000.
