NRST Manager
NRST Signal or Interrupt
NRST External Reset Control
The Reset Controller Mode Register (RSTC_MR), allowing the configuration of the Reset Con-
troller, is powered with VDDIO1, so that its configuration is saved as long as VDDIO1 is on.
The NRST Manager samples the NRST input pin and drives this pin low when required by the
Reset State Manager.
Figure 13-2. NRST Manager
The NRST Manager samples the NRST pin at Slow Clock speed. When the line is detected low,
a User Reset is reported to the Reset State Manager.
However, the NRST Manager can be programmed to not trigger a reset when an assertion of
NRST occurs. Writing the bit URSTEN at 0 in RSTC_MR disables the User Reset trigger.
The level of the pin NRST can be read at any time in the bit NRSTL (NRST level) in RSTC_SR.
As soon as the pin NRST is asserted, the bit URSTS in RSTC_SR is set. This bit clears only
when RSTC_SR is read.
The Reset Controller can also be programmed to generate an interrupt instead of generating a
reset. To do so, the bit URSTIEN in RSTC_MR must be written at 1.
The Reset State Manager asserts the signal ext_nreset to assert the NRST pin. When this
occurs, the “nrst_out” signal is driven low by the NRST Manager for a time programmed by the
field ERSTL in RSTC_MR. This assertion duration, named EXTERNAL_RESET_LENGTH, lasts
2
and 2 seconds. Note that ERSTL at 0 defines a two-cycle duration for the NRST pulse.
This feature allows the Reset Controller to shape the NRST pin level, and thus to guarantee that
the NRST line is driven low for a time compliant with potential external devices connected on the
system reset.
As the ERSTL field is within RSTC_MR register, which is backed-up, it can be used to shape the
system power-up reset for devices requiring a longer startup time than the Slow Clock Oscillator.
(ERSTL+1)
Slow Clock cycles. This gives the approximate duration of an assertion between 60 µs
