Note
When exiting EM4 with external reset, both the BODREGRST and BODUNREGRST in
RSTCAUSE might be set (i.e. are invalid)
9.3.2 Power-On Reset (POR)
The POR ensures that the EFM32GG does not start up before the supply voltage V
DD
has reached
the threshold voltage VPORthr (see Device Datasheet Electrical Characteristics for details). Before the
threshold voltage is reached, the EFM32GG is kept in reset state. The operation of the POR is illustrated
in Figure 9.2 (p. 100) , with the active low POWERONn reset signal. The reason for the “unknown”
region is that the corresponding supply voltage is too low for any reliable operation.

9.3.3 Brown-Out Detector Reset (BOD)
The EFM32GG has 4 brownout detectors, one for the unregulated 3.0 V power, one for the regulated
internal power, one for Analog Power Domain 0 (AVDD0), and one for Analog Power Domain 1 (AVDD1).
