3.5.3 Supply Monitor

Input pin PB13 of SAM4CMS16C is used to monitor the VDD voltage rail through external voltage divisors. In addition, input pin PA4 of PL360 can be used to monitor the VDD voltage rail.

The voltage monitor circuit allows the implementation of multiple applications such as:

  • Detection of fault conditions
  • Detection of low power mode entering conditions
  • Detection of wake-up situations
  • Measuring of PLC power amplifier voltage value
