Low-Voltage Inhibit (LVI)

MOTOROLA

14.4 Functional Description

Figure 14-1 shows the structure of the LVI module. The LVI is enabled

out of reset. The LVI module contains a bandgap reference circuit and

comparator. Clearing the LVI power disable bit, LVIPWRD, enables the

LVI to monitor VDD voltage. Clearing the LVI reset disable bit, LVIRSTD,

enables the LVI module to generate a reset when VDD falls below the trip

point voltage, VTRIPF. Setting the LVI enable in stop mode bit, LVISTOP,

enables the LVI to operate in stop mode. Setting the LVI 5V or 3V trip

point bit, LVI5OR3, enables VTRIPF to be configured for 5V operation.

Clearing the LVI5OR3 bit enables VTRIPF to be configured for 3V

operation. The actual trip points are shown in Electrical Specifications.

NOTE:

After a power-on reset (POR) the LVI’s default mode of operation is 3 V.

If a 5V system is used, the user must set the LVI5OR3 bit to raise the trip

point to 5V operation. Note that this must be done after every POR since

the default will revert back to 3V mode after each POR. If the VDD supply

is below the 5V mode trip voltage but above the 3V mode trip voltage

when POR is released, the part will operate because VTRIPF defaults to

3V mode after a POR. So, in a 5V system care must be taken to ensure

that VDD is above the 5V mode trip voltage after POR is released.

NOTE:

If the user requires 5V mode and sets the LVI5OR3 bit after a POR while

the VDD supply is not above the VTRIPR for 5V mode, the MCU will

immediately go into reset. The LVI in this case will hold the part in reset

until either VDD goes above the rising 5V trip point, VTRIPR, which will

release reset or VDD decreases to approximately 0 V which will re-trigger

the POR and reset the trip point to 3V operation.
