Stellaris^® LM3S1601 Microcontroller
To improve noise immunity and/or to delay reset at power up, the RST input may be connected to
an RC network as shown in Figure 5-2 on page 165.

If the application requires the use of an external reset switch, Figure 5-3 on page 165 shows the
proper circuitry to use.

The R_PU and C₁ components define the power-on delay.
The external reset timing is shown in Figure 18-5 on page 548.
Brown-Out Reset (BOR)
A drop in the input voltage resulting in the assertion of the internal brown-out detector can be used
to reset the controller. This is initially disabled and may be enabled by software.
The system provides a brown-out detection circuit that triggers if the power supply (V_DD) drops
below a brown-out threshold voltage (V_BTH). If a brown-out condition is detected, the system may
generate a controller interrupt or a system reset.
Brown-out resets are controlled with the Power-On and Brown-Out Reset Control (PBORCTL)
register. The BORIOR bit in the PBORCTL register must be set for a brown-out condition to trigger
a reset.
