ST92163 - RESET AND CLOCK CONTROL UNIT (RCCU)
5.8 LOW VOLTAGE DETECTOR (LVD) RESET
The on-chip Low Voltage Detector (LVD) gener-
ates a static reset when the supply voltage is be-
low a reference value. The LVD works both during
power-on as well as when the power supply drops
(brown-out). The reference value for the voltage
drop is lower than the reference value for power-
on in order to avoid a parasitic reset when the
MCU starts running and sinks current on the sup-
ply (hysteresis).
The LVD circuitry generates a reset when VDD is
below:
– VLVDUP when VDD is rising
– VLVDOWN when VDD is falling
The Low Voltage Detector circuitry resets only the
MCU and it does not change the external RESET
pin status: no reset signal for an external applica-
tion is generated.
