FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
(Continued)
Low Voltage Protection.
An on-board Voltage Compara-
tor checks that V
CC
is at the required level to ensure cor-
rect operation of the device. Reset is globally driven if V
CC
is below V
LV
(Low Voltage). The minimum operating volt-
age varies with the temperature and operating frequency,
while V
LV
varies with temperature only.
Mask Selectable Options.
There are six Mask Selectable
Options to choose from based on ROM code require-
ments. These are:
*When WDT is selected as always on, the WDT will run in
HALT or STOP mode regardless of the settings in the
WDTMR Register Bits D2&D3.
The Low Voltage trip voltage (V
LV
) is less than 2.1V under
the following conditions:
Maximum (V

C, +55
°
C Internal clock frequency equal to or less
than 4.0 MHz
Note:
The internal clock frequency is one-half the external
clock frequency.
The device functions normally at or above 2.0V under all
conditions. Below 2.0V, the device is guaranteed to func-
tion normally until the Low Voltage Protection trip point V
LV
is reached, below which reset is globally driven and then
the device is put in a low current stand by mode with the
oscillator stopped. The device is guaranteed to function
normally at supply voltages above the V
LV
trip point for the
temperatures and operating frequencies in maximum V
LV
conditions. The actual V
LV
trip point is a function of tem-
perature and process parameters (Figure 39).
