minimum timeout period, reset signals become active. On
power-up after the supply voltage returns to an in-tolerance
condition, the reset signal remains active for 250ms
minimum, allowing the power supply and system
microprocessor to stabilize.
HIGH through an internal 40kΩ resistor.
When PBRST is held LOW for the minimum time tPB, both
resets become active and remain active for a minimum time
period of 250ms after PBRST returns HIGH.
ST Pulses as short as 20ns can be detected.
The debounced input is guaranteed to recognize pulses
greater than 20ms. No external pull-up resistor is required,
since PBRST is pulled HIGH by an internal 40kΩ resistor.

The watchdog timer can not be disabled. It must be strobed
with a high-to-low transition to avoid watchdog timeout and

A watchdog timer stops and restarts a microprocessor that is
