1187E–AVR–06/02
Notes: 1. On Power-up, the start-up time is increased with typical 0.6 ms.
2. “0” means programmed, “1” means unprogrammed.
Table 5 shows the start-up times from Reset. When the CPU wakes up from Power-
down, only the clock-counting part of the start-up time is used. The Watchdog Oscillator
is used for timing the real-time part of the start-up time. The number Watchdog Oscilla-
tor cycles used for each time-out is shown in Table 6.
The frequency of the Watchdog Oscillator is voltage dependent as shown in the Electri-
cal Characteristics section on page 64. The device is shipped with CKSEL = “00”.
Power-on Reset A Power-on Reset (POR) pulse is generated by an On-chip Detection circuit. The detec-
tion level is nominally defined in Table 4. The POR is activated whenever V
CC
is below
the detection level. The POR circuit can be used to trigger the Start-up Reset, as well as
detect a failure in supply voltage.
A Power-on Reset (POR) circuit ensures that the device is Reset from Power-on.
Reaching the Power-on Reset threshold voltage invokes a delay counter, which deter-
mines the delay, for which the device is kept in RESET after V
CC
rise. The Time-out
period of the delay counter can be defined by the user through the CKSEL Fuses. The
different selections for the delay period are presented in Table 5. The RESET signal is
activated again, without any delay, when the V
CC
decreases below detection level.
