External Reset

An External Reset is generated by a low-level on the RESET pin. Reset pulses longer
than 500 ns will generate a reset, even if the clock is not running. Shorter pulses are not
guaranteed to generate a reset. When the applied signal reaches the Reset Threshold
Voltage (V

RST

) on its positive edge, the delay timer starts the MCU after the Time-out

period t

has expired.
