Device Reset Timers

PIC18F2X1X/4X1X devices incorporate three separate

on-chip timers that help regulate the Power-on Reset

process. Their main function is to ensure that the

device clock is stable before code is executed. These

timers are:

• Power-up Timer (PWRT)

• Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST)

• PLL Lock Time-out

4.5.1

POWER-UP TIMER (PWRT)

The Power-up Timer (PWRT) of PIC18F2X1X/4X1X

devices is an 11-bit counter which uses the INTRC

source as the clock input. This yields an approximate

time interval of 2048 x 32

μs = 65.6 ms. While the

PWRT is counting, the device is held in Reset.

The power-up time delay depends on the INTRC clock

and will vary from chip to chip due to temperature and

process variation. See DC parameter 33 for details.

The PWRT is enabled by clearing the PWRTEN

Configuration bit.

4.5.2

OSCILLATOR START-UP TIMER

(OST)

The Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) provides a 1024

oscillator cycle (from OSC1 input) delay after the

PWRT delay is over (parameter 33). This ensures that

the crystal oscillator or resonator has started and

stabilized.

The OST time-out is invoked only for XT, LP, HS and

HSPLL modes and only on Power-on Reset, or on exit

from most power-managed modes.

4.5.3

PLL LOCK TIME-OUT

With the PLL enabled in its PLL mode, the time-out

sequence following a Power-on Reset is slightly differ-

ent from other oscillator modes. A separate timer is

used to provide a fixed time-out that is sufficient for the

PLL to lock to the main oscillator frequency. This PLL

lock time-out (TPLL) is typically 2 ms and follows the

oscillator start-up time-out.

4.5.4

TIME-OUT SEQUENCE

On power-up, the time-out sequence is as follows:

After the POR pulse has cleared, PWRT time-out

is invoked (if enabled).

Then, the OST is activated.

The total time-out will vary based on oscillator configu-

ration and the status of the PWRT. Figure 4-3,

Figure 4-4, Figure 4-5, Figure 4-6 and Figure 4-7 all

depict time-out sequences on power-up, with the

Power-up Timer enabled and the device operating in

HS Oscillator mode. Figures 4-3 through 4-6 also

apply to devices operating in XT or LP modes. For

devices in RC mode and with the PWRT disabled, there

will be no time-out at all.

Since the time-outs occur from the POR pulse, if MCLR

is kept low long enough, all time-outs will expire. Bring-

ing MCLR high will begin execution immediately

(Figure 4-5). This is useful for testing purposes or to

synchronize more than one PIC18FXXXX device

operating in parallel.
