10.7 Power-Up Timer (PWRT)

The Power-up Timer provides up to a 64 ms time-out period on POR or BOR. The device is held in Reset as long as PWRT is active. The PWRT delay allows additional time for the V_DD to rise to an acceptable level.

The Power-up Timer is controlled by the PWRTS bits. The Power-up Timer starts after the release of the POR and BOR. For additional information, refer to the “Power-up Trouble Shooting” Application Note AN607.
