Notes:
1. The Power-on Reset will not work unless the supply voltage has been below V_POT (falling).
2. V_BOT may be below nominal minimum operating voltage for some devices. For devices where
this is the case, the device is tested down to V_CC = V_BOT during the production test. This guar-
antees that a Brown-out Reset will occur before V_CC drops to a voltage where correct
operation of the microcontroller is no longer guaranteed. The test is performed using
BODLEVEL = 1 for ATmega8L and BODLEVEL = 0 for ATmega8. BODLEVEL = 1 is not appli-
cable for ATmega8.
