Device Reset Timers
PIC18F2331/2431/4331/4431 devices incorporate
three separate on-chip timers that help regulate the
Power-on Reset process. Their main function is to
ensure that the device clock is stable before code is
executed. These timers are:
• Power-up Timer (PWRT)
• Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST)
• PLL Lock Time-out
5.5.1
POWER-UP TIMER (PWRT)
The Power-up Timer (PWRT) of PIC18F2331/2431/
4331/4431 devices is an 11-bit counter that uses the
INTRC source as the clock input. This yields an
approximate time interval of 2,048 x 32
s = 65.6 ms.
While the PWRT is counting, the device is held in
Reset. The power-up time delay depends on the
INTRC clock and will vary from chip to chip due to tem-
perature and process variation. See DC Parameter 33
for details.
The PWRT is enabled by clearing the PWRTEN
Configuration bit.
5.5.2
OSCILLATOR START-UP TIMER 
(OST)
The Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) provides a
1,024 oscillator cycle (from OSC1 input) delay after the
PWRT delay is over (Parameter 33). This ensures that
the crystal oscillator or resonator has started and
stabilized.
The OST time-out is invoked only for XT, LP, HS and
HSPLL modes, and on Power-on Reset or on exit from
most power-managed modes.
5.5.3
PLL LOCK TIME-OUT
With the PLL enabled in its PLL mode, the time-out
sequence following a Power-on Reset is slightly differ-
ent from other oscillator modes. A separate timer is
used to provide a fixed time-out that is sufficient for the
PLL to lock to the main oscillator frequency. This PLL
Lock Time-out (T
PLL
) is typically 2 ms and follows the
oscillator start-up time-out.
5.5.4
TIME-OUT SEQUENCE
On power-up, the time-out sequence is as follows:
1.
After the POR pulse has cleared, the PWRT time-out
is invoked (if enabled).
2.
Then, the OST is activated.
The total time-out will vary based on oscillator configu-
ration and the status of the PWRT
 through
 depict time-out sequences on power-up,
with the Power-up Timer enabled and the device oper-
ating in HS Oscillator mode
 through
 also apply to devices operating in XT or LP
modes.
For devices in RC mode, and with the PWRT disabled,
there will be no time-out at all. Since the time-outs
occur from the POR pulse, if MCLR is kept low long
enough, all time-outs will expire. Bringing MCLR high
will begin execution immediately (
). This is
useful for testing purposes or synchronization of more
than one PIC18FXXXX device operating in parallel.
