signal to the Reset Controller after the bodcore_in signal has been confirmed as being valid for at least one slow
clock cycle.

The Supply Controller manages the vddcore_nreset signal to the Reset Controller, as described in 

. The vddcore_nreset signal is normally asserted before shutting down the core

power supply and released as soon as the core power supply is correctly regulated.

There are two additional sources which can be programmed to activate vddcore_nreset:



a supply monitor detection



a brownout detection

The supply monitor is capable of generating a reset of the system. This is enabled by setting the SMRSTEN bit in
SUPC_SMMR. 

If SMRSTEN is set and if a supply monitor detection occurs, the vddcore_nreset signal is immediately activated for
a minimum of 1 slow clock cycle.
