22.3. 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 Table 4.6 for complete RST pin spec-
ifications. The external reset remains functional even when the device is in the low power suspend and
sleep modes. The PINRSF flag (RSTSRC.0) is set on exit from an external reset.
22.4. 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 missing clock detector reset is automatically disabled when the device is in the low power suspend or
sleep mode. Upon exit from either low power state, the enabled/disabled state of this reset source is
restored to its previous value. The state of the RST pin is unaffected by this reset.
22.5. Comparator0 Reset
Comparator0 can be configured as a reset source by writing a 1 to the C0RSEF flag (RSTSRC.5). Com-
parator0 should be enabled and allowed to settle prior to writing to C0RSEF to prevent any turn-on chatter
on the output from generating an unwanted reset. The Comparator0 reset is active-low: if the non-inverting
input voltage (on CP0+) is less than the inverting input voltage (on CP0–), the device is put into the reset
state. After a Comparator0 reset, the C0RSEF flag (RSTSRC.5) will read 1 signifying Comparator0 as the
reset source; otherwise, this bit reads 0. The Comparator0 reset source remains functional even when the
device is in the low power suspend and sleep states as long as Comparator0 is also enabled as a wake-up
source. The state of the RST pin is unaffected by this reset.
22.6. PCA Watchdog Timer Reset
The programmable watchdog timer (WDT) function of the programmable counter array (PCA) can be used
to prevent software from running out of control during a system malfunction. The PCA WDT function can
be enabled or disabled by software as described in Section “33.4. Watchdog Timer Mode” on page 477;
the WDT is enabled and clocked by SYSCLK / 12 following any reset. If a system malfunction prevents
user software from updating the WDT, a reset is generated and the WDTRSF bit (RSTSRC.5) is set to 1.
The PCA Watchdog Timer reset source is automatically disabled when the device is in the low power sus-
pend or sleep mode. Upon exit from either low power state, the enabled/disabled state of this reset source
is restored to its previous value.The state of the RST pin is unaffected by this reset.
