RESET
3.1 OVERVIEW
The system would be reset in three conditions as following.

Power on reset
Watchdog reset
Brown out reset
External reset (only supports external reset pin enable situation)
When any reset condition occurs, all system registers keep initial status, program stops and program counter is cleared.
After reset status released, the system boots up and program starts to execute from ORG 0. The NT0, NPD flags
indicate system reset status. The system can depend on NT0, NPD status and go to different paths by program.

Finishing any reset sequence needs some time. The system provides complete procedures to make the power on reset
successful. For different oscillator types, the reset time is different. That causes the VDD rise rate and start-up time of
different oscillator is not fixed. RC type oscillator’s start-up time is very short, but the crystal type is longer. Under client
terminal application, users have to take care the power on reset time for the master terminal requirement. The reset
timing diagram is as following.
