BOT
may be below nominal minimum operating voltage for some devices. For
devices where this is the case, the device is tested down to V
CC
= V
BOT
during the
production test. This guarantees that a Brown-Out Reset will occur before V
CC
drops
to a voltage where correct operation of the microcontroller is no longer guaranteed.
The test is performed using BODLEVEL = 10 for ATmega325/3250/645/6450V and
BODLEVEL = 01 for ATmega325/3250/645/6450L.
When the BOD is enabled, and V
CC
decreases to a value below the trigger level (V
BOT-
in Figure 19), the Brown-out Reset is immediately activated. When V
CC
increases above
the trigger level (V
BOT+
in Figure 19), the delay counter starts the MCU after the Time-
out period t
TOUT
has expired.
The BOD circuit will only detect a drop in V
CC
if the voltage stays below the trigger level
for longer than t
BOD
given in Table 16.
Figure 19. Brown-out Reset During Operation
Watchdog Reset When the Watchdog times out, it will generate a short reset pulse of one CK cycle dura-
tion. On the falling edge of this pulse, the delay timer starts counting the Time-out period
t
TOUT
. Refer to page 44 for details on operation of the Watchdog Timer.
