Low-Voltage Inhibit (LVI)
10.1 Introduction
This section describes the low-voltage inhibit (LVI) module, which monitors the voltage on the V_DD pin
and can force a reset when the V_DD voltage falls below the LVI trip falling voltage, V_TRIPF.
10.2 Features
Features of the LVI module include:
• Programmable LVI reset
• Programmable power consumption
• Selectable LVI trip voltage
• Programmable stop mode operation
10.3 Functional Description
Figure 10-1 shows the structure of the LVI module. LVISTOP, LVIPWRD, LVI5OR3, and LVIRSTD are
user selectable options found in the configuration register (CONFIG1). See Chapter 4 Configuration
Register (CONFIG).

Figure 10-1. LVI Module Block Diagram
The LVI is enabled out of reset. The LVI module contains a bandgap reference circuit and comparator.
Clearing the LVI power disable bit, LVIPWRD, enables the LVI to monitor V_DD voltage. Clearing the LVI
reset disable bit, LVIRSTD, enables the LVI module to generate a reset when V_DD falls below a voltage,
V_TRIPF. Setting the LVI enable in stop mode bit, LVISTOP, enables the LVI to operate in stop mode.
