MINIMUM HARDWARE CONSIDERATIONS
The following events will reset the device (see Figure 11-8):
• an external device pulls the RESET# pin low
• the CPU issues the reset (RST) instruction
• the CPU issues an idle/powerdown (IDLPD) instruction with an illegal key operand
The following paragraphs describe each of these reset methods in more detail.

11.6.1 Generating an External Reset
To reset the device, hold the RESET# pin low for at least one state time after the power supply is
within tolerance and the oscillator has stabilized. When RESET# is first asserted, the device turns
on a pull-down transistor (Q1) for 16 state times. This enables the RESET# signal to function as
the system reset.
