Functional Description
Reset Controller Overview
The Reset Controller (RSTC), based on power-on reset cells, handles all the resets of the sys-
tem without any external components. It reports which reset occurred last.
The Reset Controller also drives independently or simultaneously the external reset and the
peripheral and processor resets.
Figure 16-1. Reset Controller Block Diagram
The Reset Controller is made up of an NRST Manager and a Reset State Manager. It runs at
Slow Clock and generates the following reset signals:
These reset signals are asserted by the Reset Controller, either on external events or on soft-
ware action. The Reset State Manager controls the generation of reset signals and provides a
signal to the NRST Manager when an assertion of the NRST pin is required.
The NRST Manager shapes the NRST assertion during a programmable time, thus controlling
external device resets.
• proc_nreset: Processor reset line. It also resets the Watchdog Timer.
• periph_nreset: Affects the whole set of embedded peripherals.
• nrst_out: Drives the NRST pin.
