Section 15 Power-On Reset and Low-Voltage Detection

Circuits (Optional)

This LSI can include a power-on reset circuit and low-voltage detection circuit as optional circuits.

The low-voltage detection circuit consists of two circuits: LVDI (interrupt by low voltage detect)

and LVDR (reset by low voltage detect) circuits.

This circuit is used to prevent abnormal operation (runaway execution) from occurring due to the

power supply voltage fall and to recreate the state before the power supply voltage fall when the

power supply voltage rises again.

Even if the power supply voltage falls, the unstable state when the power supply voltage falls

below the guaranteed operating voltage can be removed by entering standby mode when

exceeding the guaranteed operating voltage and during normal operation. Thus, system stability

can be improved. If the power supply voltage falls more, the reset state is automatically entered. If

the power supply voltage rises again, the reset state is held for a specified period, then active mode

is automatically entered.

Figure 15.1 is a block diagram of the power-on reset circuit and the low-voltage detection circuit.

15.1

Features

• Power-on reset circuit

Uses an external capacitor to generate an internal reset signal when power is first supplied.

• Low-voltage detection circuit

LVDR: Monitors the power-supply voltage, and generates an internal reset signal when the

voltage falls below a specified value.

LVDI: Monitors the power-supply voltage, and generates an interrupt when the voltage falls

below or rises above respective specified values.

Two pairs of detection levels for reset generation voltage are available: when only the LVDR

circuit is used, or when the LVDI and LVDR circuits are both used.
