An External Reset is generated by a low level on the RESET pin. Reset pulses longer than the
minimum pulse width (see

Figure 10-4. External Reset During Operation
ATmega8A has an On-chip Brown-out Detection (BOD) circuit for monitoring the V
ing operation by comparing it to a fixed trigger level. The trigger level for the BOD can be
selected by the fuse BODLEVEL to be 2.7V (BODLEVEL unprogrammed), or 4.0V (BODLEVEL
programmed). The trigger level has a hysteresis to ensure spike free Brown-out Detection. The
hysteresis on the detection level should be interpreted as V
V
The BOD circuit can be enabled/disabled by the fuse BODEN. When the BOD is enabled
(BODEN programmed), and V
