Device Reset Timer (DRT)

The Device Reset Timer (DRT) provides an 18 ms

nominal time-out on Reset regardless of the oscillator

mode used. The DRT operates on an internal RC

oscillator. The processor is kept in Reset as long as the

DRT is active. The DRT delay allows VDD to rise above

VDD min. and for the chosen oscillator to stabilize.

Oscillator circuits, based on crystals or ceramic resona-

tors, require a certain time after power-up to establish

a stable oscillation. The on-chip DRT keeps the device

in a Reset condition for approximately 18 ms after the

voltage on the MCLR/VPP pin has reached a logic high

(VIH) level. Thus, external RC networks connected to

the MCLR input are not required in most cases,

allowing for savings in cost-sensitive and/or space

restricted applications.

The device Reset time delay will vary from chip-to-chip

due to VDD, temperature and process variation. See

AC parameters for details.

The DRT will also be triggered upon a Watchdog Timer

time-out. This is particularly important for applications

using the WDT to wake the PIC16F5X from Sleep

mode automatically.

Reset on Brown-Out

A Brown-out is a condition where device power (VDD)

dips below its minimum value, but not to zero, and then

recovers. The device should be reset in the event of a

Brown-out.

To reset PIC16F5X devices when a Brown-out occurs,

external Brown-out protection circuits may be built, as

shown in Figure 5-6, Figure 5-7 and Figure 5-8.

This circuit will activate Reset when VDD goes below

Vz + 0.7V (where Vz = Zener voltage).

This brown-out circuit is less expensive, although

less accurate. Transistor Q1 turns off when VDD is

below a certain level such that:

supervisor. The MCP8XX and MCP1XX families

of supervisors provide push-pull and open collec-

tor outputs with both “active-high and active-low”

Reset pins. There are 7 different trip point

selections to accommodate 5V and 3V systems.
