PIC18F2455/2550/4455/4550
24.0 HIGH/LOW-VOLTAGE DETECT
(HLVD)
PIC18F2455/2550/4455/4550 devices have a
High/Low-Voltage Detect module (HLVD). This is a pro-
grammable 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 interrupt 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 24-1) completely controls the operation of the
HLVD module. This allows the circuitry to be “turned
off” 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 24-1.
