3. INTRST (internal reset) goes to all other internal circuits.

Synchronous reset sources are not asserted until the end of the current bus cycle, whether or not RMC is asserted. The internal bus monitor is automatically enabled for synchronous resets; therefore, if the current bus cycle does not terminate normally, the bus monitor terminates it. Only single-byte or word transfers are guaranteed valid for synchronous resets. An external or clock reset is a synchronous reset source.

Asynchronous reset sources indicate a catastrophic failure, and the reset controller logic immediately resets the system. Resetting the MC68340 causes any bus cycle in progress to terminate as if DSACKor BERR had been asserted. In addition, the MC68340 appropriately initializes registers for a reset exception. Asynchronous reset sources include power-up, software watchdog, double bus fault resets, and execution of the RESET instruction.

If an external device drives RESET low, RESET should be asserted for at least 590 clock periods to ensure that the MC68340 resets. The reset control logic holds reset asserted internally until the external RESET is released. When the reset control logic detects that external RESET is no longer being driven, it drives both internal and external reset low for an additional 512 cycles to guarantee this length of reset to the entire system. Figure 3-27 shows the RESET timing.

Figure 3-27. Timing for External Devices Driving RESET

If reset is asserted from any other source, the reset control logic asserts RESET for 328 input clock periods plus 512 output clock periods, and until the source of reset is negated.

After any internal reset occurs, a 14-cycle rise time is allowed before testing for the presence of an external reset. If no external reset is detected, the CPU32 begins its vector fetch.

Figure 3-28 is a timing diagram of the power-up reset operation, showing the relationships between RESET, VCC, and bus signals. During the reset period, the entire bus three- states except for non-three-statable signals, which are driven to their inactive state. Once RESET negates, all control signals are driven to their inactive state, the data bus is in read mode, and the address bus is driven. After this, the first bus cycle for RESET exception processing begins.

MC68340 specifications

The Motorola MC68340 is a highly integrated microprocessor that was introduced in the early 1990s. It belongs to the 68000 family of microprocessors and is designed to cater to the demands of embedded systems, particularly in telecommunications and networking applications. This chip represents a significant evolution in microprocessor technology by combining a microprocessor core with additional peripherals on a single chip, making it an attractive solution for engineers looking to design compact and efficient systems.

One of the key features of the MC68340 is its 32-bit architecture, which allows for significant processing power and data handling capabilities. This architecture enables the processor to handle larger data sizes and perform more complex calculations compared to its 16-bit predecessors. The MC68340 operates at clock speeds typically ranging from 16 MHz to 25 MHz. Its dual instruction pipeline enhances throughput, allowing for simultaneous instruction fetches and executions, which significantly boosts performance.

A notable characteristic of the MC68340 is the inclusion of integrated peripherals, which help reduce the overall component count in a system. Key integrated components include a memory management unit (MMU), a direct memory access (DMA) controller, and various communication interfaces such as serial ports. The memory management capabilities enhance the processor's ability to manage memory resources efficiently, enabling it to support multitasking environments commonly found in modern computing.

In terms of connectivity, the MC68340 features connections for both synchronous and asynchronous serial communication, making it well-suited for networking tasks. The processor supports a range of bus standards, including address and data buses, which facilitate seamless interaction with peripheral devices.

Another important aspect of the MC68340 is its flexibility. The processor supports multiple operating modes, including multiple CPU configurations and compatibility with the Motorola 68000 family, allowing for easier integration into existing systems.

Moreover, the MC68340 boasts low power consumption compared to many of its contemporaries, making it an excellent choice for battery-operated applications, enhancing its appeal in sectors like telecommunications, industrial control, and automotive systems. Its combination of performance, integration, versatility, and efficiency has secured the MC68340 a reputable position in the annals of embedded systems technology, proving to be a valuable asset for developers and engineers alike.
