A power-on reset pulse is generated by a V
DD
rise across the default BOT voltage level
(1.7 V). A brown-out reset pulse is generated when V
DD
falls below the brown-out volt-
age threshold. Two values for the brown-out voltage threshold are programmable via
the BOT-bit in the SC-register. When the controller runs in the upper supply voltage
range with a high system clock frequency, the high threshold must be used. When it
runs with a lower system clock frequency, the low threshold and a wider supply voltage
range may be chosen. For further details, see the electrical specification and the SC-
register description for BOT programming.

Watchdog Reset The watchdog’s function can be enabled at the WDC-register and triggers a reset with
every watchdog counter overflow. To suppress the watchdog reset, the watchdog
counter must be regularly reset by reading the watchdog register address (CWD). The
CPU reacts in exactly the same manner as a reset stimulus from any of the above
sources.
External Clock Supervisor The external input clock supervisor function can be enabled if the external input clock is
selected within the CM- and SC-registers of the clock module. The CPU reacts in
exactly the same manner as a reset stimulus from any of the above sources.
Voltage Monitor The voltage monitor consists of a comparator with internal voltage reference. It is used
to supervise the supply voltage or an external voltage at the VMI-pin. The comparator
for the supply voltage has three internal programmable thresholds one lower threshold
(2.2 V), one middle threshold (2.6 V) and one higher threshold (3.0 V). For external volt-
ages at the VMI-pin, the comparator threshold is set to V
BG
= 1.3 V. The VMS-bit
indicates if the supervised voltage is below (VMS = 0) or above (VMS = 1) this thresh-
old. An interrupt can be generated when the VMS-bit is set or reset to detect a rising or
falling slope. A voltage monitor interrupt (INT7) is enabled when the interrupt mask bit
(VIM) is reset in the VMC-register.
