3.4 Power-On Reset (POR) and Brown-Out Detectors (BOD)

The following features are used to monitor, warn, and reset the device:

  • POR: Power-On Reset on VDD and VDDIO2, handled by the Reset Controller (RSTC) peripheral. The POR is always activated and monitors the voltages at startup and during all sleep modes:
    • If VDD goes below the threshold voltage, the entire device is reset
    • If VDDIO2 goes below the threshold voltage, all I/Os supplied by VDDIO2 are reset
  • BODVDD: Brown-Out Detector on VDD, controlled by the Supply Controller (SUPC) peripheral
  • BODVDDIO2: Brown-Out Detector on VDDIO2, controlled by the SUPC peripheral
