Reset

A reset has the highest exception priority. When the RES pin goes low, all processing halts and
this LSI enters the reset state. To ensure that this LSI is reset, hold the RES pin low for at least 20
ms at power-on. To reset the chip during operation, hold the RES pin low for at least 20 states. A
reset initializes the internal state of the CPU and the registers of on-chip peripheral modules. The
chip can also be reset by overflow of the watchdog timer. For details, see section 14, Watchdog
Timer (WDT).
4.3.1

Reset Exception Handling

When the RES pin goes high after being held low for the necessary time, this LSI starts reset
exception handling as follows:
1. The internal state of the CPU and the registers of the on-chip peripheral modules are initialized
and the I bit in CCR is set to 1.
2. The reset exception handling vector address is read and transferred to the PC, and then
program execution starts from the address indicated by the PC.
Figure 4.1 shows an example of the reset sequence.
