CAUTION: If PLLEN1 is held low while PLLEN2 is held high, the

 

 

 

device will enter into an unsupported test mode.

 

 

 

 

RESET#

I/O

Reset

 

 

 

A level-sensitive reset input to and open-drain system reset output

 

 

 

from the microcontroller. Either a falling edge on RESET# or an

 

 

 

internal reset turns on a pull-down transistor connected to the

 

 

 

RESET# pin for 16 state times. In the powerdown, standby, and idle

 

 

 

modes, asserting RESET# causes the chip to reset and return to

 

 

 

normal operating mode. After a device reset, the first instruction fetch

 

 

 

is from FF2080H (or F2080H in external memory). For the 80C196NP

 

 

 

and 80C196NU, the program and special-purpose memory locations

 

 

 

(FF2000–FF2FFFH) reside in external memory. For the 83C196NP,

 

 

 

these locations can reside either in external memory or in internal

 

 

 

ROM.

 

 

 

 

RPD

I

Return from Powerdown

 

 

 

Timing pin for the return-from-powerdown circuit.

 

 

 

If your application uses powerdown mode, connect a capacitor

 

 

 

between RPD and VSS if either of the following conditions is true.

 

 

 

• the internal oscillator is the clock source

 

 

 

• the phase-locked loop (PLL) circuitry (80C196NU only) is

 

 

 

enabled (see PLLEN2:1 signal description)

 

 

 

The capacitor causes a delay that enables the oscillator and PLL

 

 

 

circuitry to stabilize before the internal CPU and peripheral clocks are

 

 

 

enabled.

 

 

 

The capacitor is not required if your application uses powerdown

 

 

 

mode and if both of the following conditions are true.

 

 

 

• an external clock input is the clock source

 

 

 

• the phase-locked loop circuitry (80C196NU only) is disabled

 

 

 

If your application does not use powerdown mode, leave this pin

 

 

 

unconnected.

 

 

 

Calculate the value of the capacitor using the formula found on page
