18.5.3.7 Hysteresis

A hysteresis on the trigger threshold of a BOD will reduce the sensitivity to ripples on the monitored voltage: instead of switching the internal reset signal at each crossing of VBOD, the thresholds for switching it on and off are separated (VBOD- and VBOD+, respectively).

Enabling the BODVDD hysteresis by writing the Hysteresis bit in the BODVDD register (BODVDD.HYST) to '1' will add hysteresis to the BODVDD threshold level.

The hysteresis functionality can be used in both Continuous and Sampling Mode (See the Electrical Characteristics section for more information on the hysteresis values).
