PIC18F2525/2620/4525/4620
22.0 HIGH/LOW-VOLTAGE DETECT
(HLVD)
PIC18F2525/2620/4525/4620 devices have a
High/Low-Voltage Detect module (HLVD). This is a
programmable circuit that allows the user to specify
both a device voltage trip point and the direction of
change from that point. If the device experiences an
excursion past the trip point in that direction, an inter-
rupt flag is set. If the interrupt is enabled, the program
execution will branch to the interrupt vector address
and the software can then respond to the interrupt.
The High/Low-Voltage Detect Control register
(Register 22-1) completely controls the operation of the
HLVD module. This allows the circuitry to be âturned
offâ by the user under software control, which
minimizes the current consumption for the device.
The block diagram for the HLVD module is shown in
Figure 22-1.

Note 1: See Table 26-4 in Section 26.0 âElectrical Characteristicsâfor the specifications.
The module is enabled by setting the HLVDEN bit.
Each time that the HLVD module is enabled, the
circuitry requires some time to stabilize. The IRVST bit
is a read-only bit and is used to indicate when the circuit
is stable. The module can only generate an interrupt
after the circuit is stable and IRVST is set.
The VDIRMAG bit determines the overall operation of
the module. When VDIRMAG is cleared, the module
monitors for drops in VDD below a predetermined set
point. When the bit is set, the module monitors for rises
in VDD above the set point.
