System Reset
During a System Reset, the 64K Series devices are held in Reset for 66 cycles of the
Watch-Dog Timer oscillator followed by 16 cycles of the system clock. At the beginning
of Reset, all GPIO pins are configured as inputs.
During Reset, the eZ8 CPU and on-chip peripherals are idle; however, the on-chip crystal
oscillator and Watch-Dog Timer oscillator continue to run. The system clock begins oper-
ating following the Watch-Dog Timer oscillator cycle count. The eZ8 CPU and on-chip
peripherals remain idle through the 16 cycles of the system clock.
Upon Reset, control registers within the Register File that have a defined Reset value are
loaded with their reset values. Other control registers (including the Stack Pointer, Regis-
ter Pointer, and Flags) and general-purpose RAM are undefined following Reset. The eZ8
CPU fetches the Reset vector at Program Memory addresses
0002H
and
0003H
and loads
that value into the Program Counter. Program execution begins at the Reset vector
address.

Power-On Reset
Each device in the 64K Series contains an internal Power-On Reset (POR) circuit. The
POR circuit monitors the supply voltage and holds the device in the Reset state until the
supply voltage reaches a safe operating level. After the supply voltage exceeds the POR
