The design principle of the reset circuit is to connect an external resistor and capacitor to the reset pin RST of the microcontroller to achieve power-on reset. The reset is valid when the reset level lasts for more than two machine cycles. Specifically, the microcontroller reset circuit consists of two parts: key reset and power-on reset. Power-on reset is achieved by connecting a capacitor to the Vcc terminal on the RST reset input pin and a resistor to the ground. When the microcontroller is powered on, the RST terminal will receive a short high-level signal, which will gradually fall back as Vcc charges the capacitor. In order to ensure that the system can be reset reliably, the high-level signal at the RST terminal must be maintained for a sufficiently long time.
