9.1 LOW VOLTAGE DETECTOR (LVD)

To allow the integration of power management

features in the application, the Low Voltage Detec-

tor function (LVD) generates a static reset when

the VDD supply voltage is below a VIT- reference

value. This means that it secures the power-up as

well as the power-down keeping the ST7 in reset.

The VIT- reference value for a voltage drop is lower

than the VIT+ reference value for power-on in order

to avoid a parasitic reset when the MCU starts run-

ning and sinks current on the supply (hysteresis).

The LVD Reset circuitry generates a reset when

VDD is below:

–VIT+ when VDD is rising

–VIT- when VDD is falling

The LVD function is illustrated in the Figure 13.

Provided the minimum VDD value (guaranteed for

the oscillator frequency) is above VIT-, the MCU

can only be in two modes:

– under full software control

– in static safe reset

In these conditions, secure operation is always en-

sured for the application without the need for ex-

ternal reset hardware.

During a Low Voltage Detector Reset, the RESET

pin is held low, thus permitting the MCU to reset

other devices.

Notes:

1. The LVD allows the device to be used without

any external RESET circuitry.

2. Three different reference levels are selectable

through the option byte according to the applica-

tion requirement.

LVD application note

Application software can detect a reset caused by

the LVD by reading the LVDRF bit in the CRSR

This bit is set by hardware when a LVD reset is

generated and cleared by software (writing zero).
