32-bit Arm Cortex-M0+ microcontroller

8.28 System control

8.28.1 Reset

Reset has four sources on the LPC84x: the RESET pin, the Watchdog reset, power-on

reset (POR), and the BrownOut Detection (BOD) circuit. The RESET pin is a Schmitt

trigger input pin. Assertion of chip reset by any source, once the operating voltage attains

a usable level, starts the FRO and initializes the flash controller.

A LOW-going pulse as short as 50 ns resets the part.

When the internal Reset is removed, the processor begins executing at address 0, which

is initially the Reset vector mapped from the boot block. At that point, all of the processor

and peripheral registers have been initialized to predetermined values.

In deep power-down mode, an external pull-up resistor is required on the RESET pin.

8.28.2 Brownout detection

The LPC84x includes up to four levels for monitoring the voltage on the VDD pin. If this

voltage falls below one of the selected levels, the BOD asserts an interrupt signal to the

NVIC. This signal can be enabled for interrupt in the Interrupt Enable Register in the NVIC

to cause a CPU interrupt. Alternatively, software can monitor the signal by reading a

dedicated status register. Four threshold levels can be selected to cause a forced reset of

the chip.
