9.3.1

MCLR

PIC16F630/676 devices have a noise filter in the

MCLR Reset path. The filter will detect and ignore

small pulses.

It should be noted that a WDT Reset does not drive

MCLR pin low.

The behavior of the ESD protection on the MCLR pin

has been altered from previous devices of this family.

Voltages applied to the pin that exceed its specification

can result in both MCLR Resets and excessive current

beyond the device specification during the ESD event.

For this reason, Microchip recommends that the MCLR

pin no longer be tied directly to VDD. The use of an RC

network, as shown in Figure 9-5, is suggested.

An internal MCLR option is enabled by setting the

MCLRE bit in the Configuration Word. When enabled,

MCLR is internally tied to VDD. No internal pull-up

option is available for the MCLR pin.

9.3.2

POWER-ON RESET (POR)

The on-chip POR circuit holds the chip in Reset until

VDD has reached a high enough level for proper

operation. To take advantage of the POR, simply tie the

MCLR pin through a resistor to VDD. This will eliminate

external RC components usually needed to create

Power-on Reset. A maximum rise time for VDD is

required. See Section 12.0 “Electrical Specifica-

tions” for details. If the BOD is enabled, the maximum

rise time specification does not apply. The BOD cir-

cuitry will keep the device in Reset until VDD reaches

VBOD

(see

Section 9.3.5

“Brown-out

Detect

(BOD)”).

When the device starts normal operation (exits the

Reset condition), device operating parameters (i.e.,

voltage, frequency, temperature, etc.) must be met to

ensure operation. If these conditions are not met, the

device must be held in Reset until the operating

conditions are met.

For additional information, refer to Application Note

AN607 “Power-up Trouble Shooting.”

9.3.3

POWER-UP TIMER (PWRT)

The Power-up Timer provides a fixed 72 ms (nominal)

time-out on power-up only, from POR or Brown-out

Detect. The Power-up Timer operates on an internal

RC oscillator. The chip is kept in Reset as long as

PWRT is active. The PWRT delay allows the VDD to

rise to an acceptable level. A Configuration bit, PWRTE

can disable (if set) or enable (if cleared or

programmed) the Power-up Timer. The Power-up

Timer should always be enabled when Brown-out

Detect is enabled.

The Power-up Time delay will vary from chip to chip

and due to:

•VDD variation

• Temperature variation

• Process variation.

See DC parameters for details (Section 12.0 “Electri-

cal Specifications”).

9.3.4

OSCILLATOR START-UP TIMER

(OST)

The Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) provides a 1024

oscillator cycle (from OSC1 input) delay after the

PWRT delay is over. This ensures that the crystal

oscillator or resonator has started and stabilized.

The OST time-out is invoked only for XT, LP and HS

modes and only on Power-on Reset or wake-up from

Sleep.

Note:

The POR circuit does not produce an inter-

nal Reset when VDD declines.
