22.4.2 When used as interrupt mode 
Specify the operation mode (the interrupt mode (LVIMDS1, LVIMDS0 = 0, 1)) and the detection voltage (V
LVD) by using 
the option byte 000C1H. 
The operation is started in the following initial setting state when the interrupt mode is set. 
• Bit 7 (LVISEN) of the voltage detection register (LVIM) is set to 0 (disable rewriting of voltage detection level 
register (LVIS)) 
• The initial value of the voltage detection level select register (LVIS) is set to 01H. 
  Bit 7 (LVIMD) is 0 (interrupt mode). 
  Bit 0 (LVILV) is 1 (low-voltage detection level: V
LVD). 
•  Operation in LVD interrupt mode 
In the interrupt mode (option byte LVIMDS1, LVIMDS0 = 0, 1), the state of an internal reset by LVD is retained 
until the supply voltage (V
DD) exceeds the voltage detection level (VLVD) after power is supplied (after the first 
release of the POR). The internal reset is released when the supply voltage (V
DD) exceeds the voltage detection 
level (VLVD). 
An interrupt request signal by LVD (INTLVD) is generated, when the supply voltage (V
DD) falls below the voltage 
detection level (V
LVD) or when the supply voltage (VDD) exceeds the voltage detection level (VLVD) after the 
second release of the POR. When the voltage falls, this LSI should be placed in the STOP mode, or placed in 
the reset state by controlling the externally input reset signal, before the voltage falls below the operating voltage 
range defined in 30.4 or 31.4 AC characteristics. When restarting the operation, make sure that the operation 
voltage has returned within the range of operation. 
Figure 22-5 shows the timing of the interrupt request signal generated in the LVD interrupt mode.
