Two power reduction modes are implemented in the T89C5115: the Idle mode and the
Power-down mode. These modes are detailed in the following sections. In addition to
these power reduction modes, the clocks of the core and peripherals can be dynamically
divided by 2 using the X2 mode detailed in Section “Clock”.
A reset is required after applying power at turn-on. To achieve a valid reset, the reset
signal must be maintained for at least 2 machine cycles (24 oscillator clock periods)
while the oscillator is running and stabilized and VCC established within the specified
operating ranges. A device reset initializes the T89C5115 and vectors the CPU to
address 0000h. RST input has a pull-down resistor allowing power-on reset by simply
connecting an external capacitor to V
characteristics are discussed in the Section “DC Characteristics” of the T89C5115
datasheet. The status of the Port pins during reset is detailed in Table 13.

A bad reset sequence will lead to bad microcontroller initialization and system registers
like SFR’s, Program Counter, etc. will not be correctly initialized. A bad initialization may
lead to unpredictable behaviour of the C51 microcontroller.
An example of this situation may occur in an instance where the bit ENBOOT in AUXR1
register is initialized from the hardware bit BLJB upon reset. Since this bit allows map-
ping of the bootloader in the code area, a reset failure can be critical.
If one wants the ENBOOT cleared inorder to unmap the boot from the code area (yet
due to a bad reset) the bit ENBOOT in SFR’s may be set. If the value of Program
Counter is accidently in the range of the boot memory addresses then a flash access
(write or erase) may corrupt the Flash on-chip memory .
It is recommended to use an external reset circuitry featuring power supply monitoring to
prevent system malfunction during periods of insufficient power supply voltage(power
supply failure, power supply switched off).
