CHAPTER 7 RESETS

Notes about Reset Cause Bits

Multiple reset causes generated at the same time

When multiple reset causes are generated at the same time, the corresponding reset cause bits of the

watchdog timer control register (WDTC) are also set to "1". If, for example, an external reset request via

the RST pin and the watchdog timer overflow occur at the same time, the ERST and the WRST bits are

both set to "1".

Power-on reset

For a power-on reset, because the PONR bit is set to "1" but all other reset cause bits are undefined, the

software should be programmed so that it will ignore all reset cause bits except the PONR bit if it is "1".

Clearing the reset cause bits

The reset cause bits are cleared only when the watchdog timer control register (WDTC) is read. Any bit

corresponding to a reset cause that has already been generated is not cleared even though another reset is

generated (a setting of "1" is retained).

Note:

If the power is turned on under conditions where no power-on reset occurs, the value in WDTC register

may not be guaranteed.
