7.5.5 Internal watchdog RESET
The RESET sequence generated by a internal Watchdog counter overflow is shown in
Figure 16.
Starting from the Watchdog counter underflow, the device RESET
pin acts as an output that
is pulled low during at least t
w(RSTL)out
.

7.6 System integrity management (SI)
The system integrity management block contains the low voltage detector (LVD) and
auxiliary voltage detector (AVD) functions. It is managed by the SICSR register.
Note: A reset can also be triggered following the detection of an illegal opcode or prebyte code.
Refer to
Section 12.2.1: Illegal opcode reset for further details.
7.6.1 Low voltage detector (LVD)
The low voltage detector function (LVD) generates a static reset when the V
DD
supply
voltage is below a V
IT-(LVD)
reference value. This means that it secures the power-up as well
as the power-down keeping the ST7 in reset.
The V
IT-(LVD)
reference value for a voltage drop is lower than the V
IT+(LVD)
reference value
for power-on in order to avoid a parasitic reset when the MCU starts running and sinks
current on the supply (hysteresis).
