When the Watchdog times out, it will generate a short reset pulse of 1 CK cycle duration. On the
falling edge of this pulse, the delay timer starts counting the time-out period t

ATmega8A features an internal bandgap reference. This reference is used for Brown-out Detec-
tion, and it can be used as an input to the Analog Comparator or the ADC. The 2.56V reference
to the ADC is generated from the internal bandgap reference.
The voltage reference has a start-up time that may influence the way it should be used. The
start-up time is given in
turned on. The reference is on during the following situations:
Thus, when the BOD is not enabled, after setting the ACBG bit or enabling the ADC, the user
must always allow the reference to start up before the output from the Analog Comparator or
