System reset

A system reset sets all registers to their reset values except for the reset flags in the clock
controller CSR register and the registers in the Backup domain (see
A system reset is generated when one of the following events occurs:
1. A low level on the NRST pin (external reset)
2. window watchdog end-of-count condition (WWDG reset)
3. Independent watchdog end-of-count condition (IWDG reset)
4. A software reset (SW reset)
5. Low-power management reset
The reset source can be identified by checking the reset flags in the Control/Status register,
RCC_CSR.
The STM32F20xxx/21xxx does not require an external reset circuit to power-up correctly.
Only a pull-down capacitor is recommended to improve EMS performance by protecting the
device against parasitic resets. See
Charging and discharging a pull-down capacitor through an internal resistor increases the
device power consumption. The capacitor recommended value (100 nF) can be reduced to
10 nF to limit this power consumption;
