7.2.2 Clock Start-up from POR or LVI Reset
When the power-on reset module or the low-voltage inhibit module generates a reset, the clocks to the
CPU and peripherals are inactive and held in an inactive phase until after the 4096 ICLK cycle POR
timeout has completed. The RST pin is driven low by the SIM during this entire period. The IBUS clocks
start upon completion of the timeout.
7.2.3 Clocks in Stop Mode and Wait Mode
Upon exit from stop mode by an interrupt, break, or reset, the SIM allows ICLK to clock the SIM counter.
The CPU and peripheral clocks do not become active until after the stop delay timeout. This timeout is
In wait mode, the CPU clocks are inactive. The SIM also produces two sets of clocks for other modules.
Refer to the wait mode subsection of each module to see if the module is active or inactive in wait mode.
Some modules can be programmed to be active in wait mode.
7.3 Reset and System Initialization
The MCU has these reset sources:
Power-on reset module (POR)
External reset pin (RST)
Computer operating properly module (COP)
Low-voltage inhibit module (LVI)
Illegal opcode
Illegal address
All of these resets produce the vector $FFFE:$FFFF ($FEFE:$FEFF in monitor mode) and assert the
internal reset signal (IRST). IRST causes all registers to be returned to their default values and all
modules to be returned to their reset states.
7.3.1 External Pin Reset
The RST pin circuit includes an internal pull-up device. Pulling the asynchronous RST pin low halts all
processing. The PIN bit of the SIM reset status register (SRSR) is set as long as RST is held low for a
minimum of 67 ICLK cycles, assuming that neither the POR nor the LVI was the source of the reset. See
