2.2.2 Master Clear (MCLR) Pin

The MCLR pin works as a device Reset.

Pulling the MCLR pin low generates a device Reset. The basic connection and interface diagram of the module illustrates a typical MCLR circuit. See Module Basic Connection and Interface Diagram in the Basic Connection Requirement from Related Links.

Note:

The capacitor can be sized to prevent unintentional Resets from brief glitches or to extend the device Reset period during POR.
