7.10.3 BOR and POR

The Brown-out Reset (BOR) monitors the VDD supply voltage. On detection of a brown-out condition, the BOR re-arms the POR. In this device, the minimum BOR trip point is the voltage below, which I/O is considered un-trusted; thus, it generates a Reset. There are three BOR in the PIC32CX-BZ3 and the WBZ35x Module:

  • BOR3.3 to monitor VDD
  • BOR1.2 to monitor VDDCORE
  • ZPBOR monitors VDD during the Deep Sleep and Extreme Deep Sleep mode if enabled
