Power-up Delays

Power-up delays are controlled by two timers, so that

no external Reset circuitry is required for most applica-

tions. The delays ensure that the device is kept in

Reset until the device power supply is stable under nor-

mal circumstances and the primary clock is operating

and stable. For additional information on power-up

delays, see Section 5.6 “Power-up Timer (PWRT)”.

The first timer is the Power-up Timer (PWRT), which

provides a fixed delay on power-up (parameter 33,

Table 24-10). It is always enabled.

The second timer is the Oscillator Start-up Timer

(OST), intended to keep the chip in Reset until the

crystal oscillator is stable (HS modes). The OST does

this by counting 1024 oscillator cycles before allowing

the oscillator to clock the device.

There is a delay of interval, TCSD (parameter 38,

Table 24-10), following POR, while the controller

becomes ready to execute instructions.
