4.7 Brownout and Blackout Conditions
The device enters a brownout condition when the input voltage drops below V_brownout (see Figure 4-4 and
Figure 4-5). This condition must be considered during design of the power supply routing, especially when
operating from a battery. High-current operations, such as a TX packet or any external activity (not
necessarily related directly to networking) can cause a drop in the supply voltage, potentially triggering a
brownout condition. The resistance includes the internal resistance of the battery, the contact resistance of
the battery holder (four contacts for 2× AA batteries), and the wiring and PCB routing resistance.
NOTE
When the device is in HIBERNATE state, brownout is not detected. Only blackout is in effect
during HIBERNATE state.
