External Reset Pin
The external reset pin (RST pin) is an input pin used exclusively for a reset. Inputting an
L level signal generates an internal reset. For the MB90360-series, resets are generated
in synchronization with the CPU operating clock. However, initialization of external pin
is asynchronous with the CPU operating clock.

Note:
Inputs to the RST pin are accepted during cycles in which memory is not affected to prevent memory
from being destroyed by a reset during a write operation.
A clock is required to initialize the internal circuit. In particular, an operation with an external clock
requires clock input together with reset input.
