The Power fail detect monitor the supply generated by the voltage regulator and gener-
ate a reset if this supply falls below a safety threshold as illustrated in the Figure 11
below.
Figure 11. Power Fail Detect
When the power is applied, the Power Monitor immediately asserts a reset. Once the
internal supply after the voltage regulator reach a safety level, the power monitor then
looks at the XTAL clock input. The internal reset will remain asserted until the Xtal1 lev-
els are above and below VIH and VIL. Further more. An internal counter will count 1024
clock periods before the reset is de-asserted.
If the internal power supply falls below a safety level, a reset is immediately asserted.
