Figure 6-1 Reset signals
You must apply power-on or
cold
reset to the processor when power is first applied to
the system. In the case of power-on reset, the falling edge of the reset signal,
PORESETn
, does not have to be synchronous to
HCLK
. Because
PORESETn
is
synchronized within the processor, you do not have to synchronize this signal.
Figure 6-2 shows the application of power-on reset. Figure 6-3 on page 6-7 shows the
reset synchronizers within the processor.
Figure 6-2 Power-on reset
It is recommended that you assert the reset signals for at least three
HCLK
cycles to
ensure correct reset behavior. Figure 6-3 on page 6-7 shows the internal reset
synchronization.
