152 System Integration Module (SIM) MOTOROLA
9.4 Reset and System Initialization
The MCU has these reset sources:
• Power-on reset module (POR)
• External reset pin (RST)
• Computer operating properly module (COP)
• Low-voltage inhibit module (LVI)
• Illegal opcode
• Illegal address
All of these resets produce the vector $FFFE–FFFF ($FEFE–FEFF in
monitor mode) and assert the internal reset signal (IRST). IRST causes
all registers to be returned to their default values and all modules to be
returned to their reset states.
An internal reset clears the SIM counter (see SIM Counter on page
156), but an external reset does not. Each of the resets sets a
corresponding bit in the SIM reset status register (SRSR) (see SIM
Registers on page 165).
9.4.1 External Pin Reset
Pulling the asynchronous RST pin low halts all processing. The PIN bit
of the SIM reset status register (SRSR) is set as long as RST
is held low
for a minimum of 67 CGMXCLK cycles, assuming that neither the POR
nor the LVI was the source of the reset. See Table 9-3 for details. Figure
9-4 shows the relative timing.

Reset Type Number of Cycles Required to Set PIN
POR/LVI 4163 (4096 + 64 + 3)
All others 67 (64 + 3)
