In many applications, the ability to determine if the
device voltage (V
is a desirable feature. A window of operation for the
application can be created where the application soft-
ware can do “housekeeping tasks” before the device
voltage exits the valid operating range. This can be
done using the Low-Voltage Detect module.
This module is a software programmable circuitry
where a device voltage trip point can be specified.
When the voltage of the device becomes lower then the
specified point, an interrupt flag is set. If the interrupt is
enabled, the program execution will branch to the inter-
rupt vector address and the software can then respond
to that interrupt source.
FIGURE 22-1:
The block diagram for the LVD module is shown in
Figure 22-2. A comparator uses an internally gener-
ated reference voltage as the set point. When the
selected tap output of the device voltage crosses the
set point (is lower than), the LVDIF bit is set.
Each node in the resistor divider represents a “trip
point” voltage. The “trip point” voltage is the minimum
supply voltage level at which the device can operate
before the LVD module asserts an interrupt. When the

The Low-Voltage Detect circuitry is completely under
software control. This allows the circuitry to be “turned
off” by the software which minimizes the current
consumption for the device.
Figure 22-1 shows a possible application voltage curve
(typically for batteries). Over time, the device voltage
decreases. When the device voltage equals voltage V
the LVD logic generates an interrupt. This occurs at
time T
until the device voltage is no longer in valid operating
range, to shut down the system. Voltage point V

supply voltage is equal to the trip point, the voltage
tapped off of the resistor array is equal to the 1.2V
internal reference voltage generated by the voltage
reference module. The comparator then generates an
interrupt signal setting the LVDIF bit. This voltage is
