These values assume VDD starts from 0V to the nominal value. If the time between 2
on/off sequences is too fast, the power-supply de-coupling capacitors may not be fully
discharged, leading to a bad reset sequence.
To achieve a valid reset, the reset signal must be maintained for at least 2 machine
cycles (24 oscillator clock periods) while the oscillator is running. The number of clock
periods is mode independent (X2 or X1).
As detailed in Section “Watchdog Timer”, the WDT generates a 96-clock period pulse
on the RST pin. In order to properly propagate this pulse to the rest of the application in
case of external capacitor or power-supply supervisor circuit, a 1 kΩ resistor must be
added as shown Figure 18.
