The BOR circuit holds the device in Reset when VDD
reaches a selectable minimum level. Between the POR and BOR, complete voltage range
coverage for execution protection can be implemented. The BOR bit will be set to
‘0’ if a Brown-out Reset has occurred.
The Brown-out Reset module has four operating modes controlled by the BOREN Configuration bits. The four operating modes are:
Refer to the BOR Operating Modes table for more information.
A VDD noise rejection filter prevents the BOR from triggering on small events. If VDD falls below VBOR for a duration greater than parameter TBORDC, the device will reset. Refer to the “Electrical Specifications” chapter for more details.
