Note:
1. Or external Power-on Reset.
This table shows the Start-up times from Reset. From sleep, only the clock counting part
of the Start-up time is used. The Watchdog Oscillator is used for timing the Real Time
part of the Start-up time. The number WDT Oscillator cycles used for each time-out is
shown in Table 6.
The frequency of the Watchdog Oscillator is voltage dependent, as shown in the Electri-
cal Characteristics section.
Power-on Reset
A Power-on Reset (POR) pulse is generated by an On-chip Detection circuit. The detec-
tion level is nominally 2.2V. The POR is activated whenever V
CC
is below the detection
level. The POR circuit can be used to trigger the Start-up Reset, as well as detect a fail-
ure in supply voltage.
The Power-on Reset (POR) circuit ensures that the device is Reset from Power-on.
Reaching the Power-on Reset threshold voltage invokes a delay counter, which deter-
mines the delay, for which the device is kept in RESET after V
CC
rise. The Time-out
period of the delay counter is a combination of Internal RC Oscillator cycles and Exter-
nal Oscillator cycles, and it can be defined by the user through the CKSEL Fuses. The
eight different selections for the delay period are presented in Table 5. The RESET sig-
nal is activated again, without any delay, when the V
CC
decreases to below detection
level.
