Microcontroller Reset
Introduction

AT8xC5122/23
The internal reset is used to start up (cold reset) or to re-start (warm reset) the micro-
controller activity. When the reset is applied (active state), all internal registers are
initialized so that the microcontroller starts from a known and clean state for the program
always runs as expected.
The reset is released (inactive state) when the following conditions are internally met :
If one of the above conditions is not met the microcontroller is not correctly reset and
might not work properly.
The internal reset comes from four different sources :

The power supply has reatched a minimum level which garantees that the
microcontroller works properly
The on-chip oscillator has reached a minimum oscillation level which
ensures a good noise to signal ratio and a correct internal duty cycle
the active state duration is at least two machine cycles.
