CHAPTER 4 RESET
4.3
External-Reset Pin
The external-reset pin (pin RST) is a pin dedicated for the input of resets, and it
triggers an internal reset by input of the "L" level. The MB90480/485 series devices
have resets synchronized to the CPU operation clock. However, only external pins
(e.g., ports) change asynchronously to a reset state.

Block diagram of external-reset pin
Figure 4.3-1 shows the block diagram of internal reset.
Note:
To prevent damage to the memory contents by a reset during writing, input to pin RST is accepted
in a cycle that precludes damage to memory contents.
A clock is required to initialize internal circuits. Input of a clock is required during input of a reset
when an external clock is used for operation.
