5.18 Power-on Considerations

Any microcontroller is not guaranteed to start and operate properly before the power supply maintains at its steady state. The EM78P312N has a built-in Power On Voltage Detector (POVD) with a detecting level of 2.1V. It will work well if VDD rises fast enough (10 ms or less). In many critical applications, however, additional components are required to provide solutions on probable power-up problems.

5.18.1 External Power-on Reset Circuit

The circuit shown in Fig. 5-33 use an external RC to produce the reset pulse. The pulse width (time constant) should be kept long enough for VDD to reach minimum operation voltage. This circuit is used when the power supply has slow rise time. Because the current leakage from the /RESET pin is about ±5μA, it is recommended that R should not be greater than 40K. In this way, the /RESET pin voltage is held below 0.2V. The diode (D) acts as a short circuit at the moment of power down. The capacitor C will discharge rapidly and fully. Rin, the current-limited resistor, will prevent high current or ESD (electrostatic discharge) from flowing to pin /RESET.
