13.3.2.1.2 Brown-out Detector (BOD) Reset
The Brown-out Detector (BOD) needs to be enabled by the user. The BOD is preventing code execution when the voltage drops below a set threshold. This will ensure the voltage level needed for the oscillator to run at the speed required by the application and will avoid code corruption due to low-voltage level.
The BOD issues a System Reset and is not released until the voltage level increases above the set threshold. The on-chip BOD circuit will monitor the VDD level during operation by comparing it to a fixed trigger level. The trigger level for the BOD must be selected by the BOD Configuration (FUSE.BODCFG) fuse.
