Analog-to-Digital Converter/Brownout Detector
23.1.3 Brownout Detector
The Brownout Detector is an asynchronous comparator that compares a divided version
of the 3.3 V supply and a bandgap-derived reference voltage. If the supply dips below a
Trip point, the Brownout Detector sets a bit in the IS Register. The status bit is wired to the
VIC and can interrupt the processor core. This allows the Host Controller to warn users of
an impending shutdown and may provide the ADC with time to save its state. For Brownout
Detector trip point and hysteresis levels, see Chapter 24.
NOTE: The Brownout Detector indicates a brownout condition on startup until the VDDA pin rises
