Homework #4, Due Monday 10/15/01

How many clock cycles must RESET remain asserted to ensure successful power-on reset on your processor?

Just to be safe, choose values for R and C in the circuit below to guarantee that at least 100 times the minimum number of clock cycles will elapse before the reset period is over (assume 32MHz oscillator).

Two things will be useful to know: the equation for charging of a capacitor and the worst case high voltage for which RESET might not be asserted on your processor. That other symbol is a pushbutton, you might find that useful in the lab!
