In many applications, the ability to detect a drop below,
or rise above a particular threshold is desirable. For
example, the HLVD module could be periodically
enabled to detect Universal Serial Bus (USB) attach or
detach. This assumes the device is powered by a lower
voltage source than the USB when detached. An attach
would indicate a high-voltage detect from, for example,
3.3V to 5V (the voltage on USB) and vice versa for a
detach. This feature could save a design a few extra
components and an attach signal (input pin).
For general battery applications, Figure 22-4 shows a
possible voltage curve. Over time, the device voltage
decreases. When the device voltage reaches voltage
V
The interrupt could cause the execution of an ISR,
which would allow the application to perform “house-
keeping tasks” and perform a controlled shutdown
before the device voltage exits the valid operating
range at T
