Reset Controller
Brownout Detector and Power-on Reset
The Reset Controller is based on a power-on reset cell and one brownout detector. It gives the
status of the last reset, indicating whether it is a power-up reset, a software reset, a user reset, a
watchdog reset or a brownout reset. In addition, it controls the internal resets and the NRST pin
open-drain output. It allows to shape a signal on the NRST line, guaranteeing that the length of
the pulse meets any requirement.
Note that if NRST is used as a reset output signal for external devices during power-off, the
brownout detector must be activated.
The AT91SAM7S Series embeds a brownout detection circuit and a power-on reset cell. Both
are supplied with and monitor VDDCORE. Both signals are provided to the Flash to prevent any
code corruption during power-up or power-down sequences or if brownouts occur on the
VDDCORE power supply.
The power-on reset cell has a limited-accuracy threshold at around 1.5V. Its output remains low
during power-up until VDDCORE goes over this voltage level. This signal goes to the reset con-
troller and allows a full re-initialization of the device.
The brownout detector monitors the VDDCORE level during operation by comparing it to a fixed
trigger level. It secures system operations in the most difficult environments and prevents code
corruption in case of brownout on the VDDCORE.
Only VDDCORE is monitored.
When the brownout detector is enabled and VDDCORE decreases to a value below the trigger
level (Vbot-, defined as Vbot - hyst/2), the brownout output is immediately activated.
When VDDCORE increases above the trigger level (Vbot+, defined as Vbot + hyst/2), the reset
is released. The brownout detector only detects a drop if the voltage on VDDCORE stays below
the threshold voltage for longer than about 1µs.
The threshold voltage has a hysteresis of about 50 mV, to ensure spike free brownout detection.
The typical value of the brownout detector threshold is 1.68V with an accuracy of ± 2% and is
factory calibrated.
The brownout detector is low-power, as it consumes less than 20 µA static current. However, it
can be deactivated to save its static current. In this case, it consumes less than 1µA. The deac-
tivation is configured through the GPNVM bit 0 of the Flash.
