In applications that can operate at VDD levels below the LVITRIPF level,
software can monitor VDD by polling the LVIOUT bit. In the mask option
register, the LVIPWRD and LVIRSTD bits must be at ‘0’ to enable the
LVI module and to enable the LVI resets. Also, the LVIPRWD bit must
be at ‘0’ to enable the LVI module, and the LVIRSTD bit must be at ‘1’ to
disable LVI resets.
In applications that require VDD to remain above the LVITRIPF level,
enabling LVI resets allows the LVI module to reset the MCU when VDD
falls to the LVITRIPF level and remains at or below that level for 9 or more
consecutive CPU cycles. In the mask option register, the LVIPWRD and
LVIRSTD bits must be at ‘0’ to enable the LVI module and to enable LVI
resets.
The VDD pin level is digitally filtered to reduce false resets due to power
supply noise. In order for the LVI module to reset the MCU,VDD must
remain at or below the LVITRIPF level for 9 or more consecutive CPU
cycles. VDD must be above LVITRIPR for only one CPU cycle to bring the
MCU out of reset.
