9. Reset Sources and Power Supply Monitor
9.1 Introduction
Reset circuitry allows the controller to be easily placed in a predefined default condition. On entry to this reset state, the following occur:
• The core halts program execution.
• Module registers are initialized to their defined reset values unless the bits reset only with a power-on reset.
• External port pins are forced to a known state.
• Interrupts and timers are disabled.
All registers are reset to the predefined values noted in the register descriptions unless the bits only reset with a power-on reset. The
contents of RAM are unaffected during a reset; any previously stored data is preserved as long as power is not lost. The Port I/O latch-
es are reset to 1 in open-drain mode. Weak pullups are enabled during and after the reset. For Supply Monitor and power-on resets,
the RSTb pin is driven low until the device exits the reset state. On exit from the reset state, the program counter (PC) is reset, and the
system clock defaults to an internal oscillator. The Watchdog Timer is enabled, and program execution begins at location 0x0000.
