Voltage Brown-Out Reset
The devices in the Z8 Encore! XP
®
4K Series provide low voltage brown-out (VBO) pro-
tection. The VBO circuit senses when the supply voltage drops to an unsafe level (below
the VBO threshold voltage) and forces the device into the Reset state. While the supply
voltage remains below the Power-On Reset voltage threshold (V
POR
), the VBO block
holds the device in the Reset.
After the supply voltage again exceeds the Power-On Reset voltage threshold, the device
progresses through a full System Reset sequence, as described in the Power-On Reset sec-
tion. Following Power-On Reset, the POR status bit in the Reset Status (RSTSTAT) regis-
ter is set to 1.
illustrates Voltage Brown-Out operation. Refer to the chapter
for the VBO and POR threshold voltages (V
VBO
and V
POR
).
The Voltage Brown-Out circuit can be either enabled or disabled during STOP mode.
Operation during STOP mode is set by the VBO_AO Flash Option Bit. Refer to the Flash
Option Bits chapter for information about configuring
VBO_AO.
