System Control
If the application only uses the internal POR circuit, the RST input must be connected to the power
supply (V_DD) through an optional pull-up resistor (0 to 100K Ω) as shown in Figure 5-1 on page 188.

The external reset pin (RST) resets the microcontroller including the core and all the on-chip
peripherals except the JTAG TAP controller (see “JTAG Interface” on page 173). The external reset
sequence is as follows:
1. The external reset pin (RST) is asserted for the duration specified by T_MIN and then de-asserted
(see “Reset” on page 1190).
2. The internal reset is released and the core loads from memory the initial stack pointer, the initial
program counter, and the first instruction designated by the program counter, and then begins
execution.
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 188.

If the application requires the use of an external reset switch, Figure 5-3 on page 189 shows the
proper circuitry to use.
