[1] Default value.
[2] The flag is set whenever a reset occurs, induced by RST pin, Power-On Reset (POR), or Initialize
command. After power-on, the flag is set and should be cleared for reset monitoring.
Some bits of the Status-readout command have a certain probability of being changed by
an EMC/ESD event. For example, an EMC/ESD event can cause a change of the
hard-wired settings of SA1 or SA0. Therefore SR[3:0] can help to detect if an EMC/ESD
event has occurred which has caused the change of a bit. In environments where
EMC/ESD events may occur, it could be helpful to compare the result of the
Status-readout command with the initial bit settings periodically.
8.2.8 Command: Clear-reset-flag
The Clear-reset-flag command clears the reset flag SR4, see Table 12.
