Reset Sources

The AT90S8515 has three sources of reset:

Power-on Reset. The MCU is reset when the supply voltage is below the Power-on
Reset threshold (V

POT

).

External Reset. The MCU is reset when a low level is present on the RESET pin for
more than 50 ns.

Watchdog Reset. The MCU is reset when the Watchdog timer period expires and
the Watchdog is enabled.

During reset, all I/O registers are set to their initial values and the program starts execu-
tion from address $000. The instruction placed in address $000 must be an RJMP
(relative jump) instruction to the reset handling routine. If the program never enables an
interrupt source, the interrupt vectors are not used and regular program code can be
placed at these locations. The circuit diagram in Figure 23 shows the reset logic. Table 3
defines the timing and electrical parameters of the reset circuitry.

Note:

The Power-on Reset will not work unless the supply voltage has been below V

POT

(falling).
