SAM7SE512/256/32
Brownout Detector and Power On Reset
The SAM7SE512/256/32 embeds one brownout detection circuit and a power-on reset cell. The
power-on reset is supplied with and monitors VDDCORE.
Both signals are provided to the Flash to prevent any code corruption during power-up or power-
down sequences or if brownouts occur on the VDDCORE power supply.
The power-on reset cell has a limited-accuracy threshold at around 1.5V. Its output remains low
during power-up until VDDCORE goes over this voltage level. This signal goes to the reset con-
troller and allows a full re-initialization of the device.
The brownout detector monitors the VDDCORE and VDDFLASH levels during operation by
comparing it to a fixed trigger level. It secures system operations in the most difficult environ-
ments and prevents code corruption in case of brownout on the VDDCORE or VDDFLASH.
When the brownout detector is enabled and VDDCORE decreases to a value below the trigger
level (Vbot18-, defined as Vbot18 - hyst/2), the brownout output is immediately activated.
When VDDCORE increases above the trigger level (Vbot18+, defined as Vbot18 + hyst/2), the
reset is released. The brownout detector only detects a drop if the voltage on VDDCORE stays
below the threshold voltage for longer than about 1µs.
The VDDCORE threshold voltage has a hysteresis of about 50 mV, to ensure spike free brown-
out detection. The typical value of the brownout detector threshold is 1.68V with an accuracy of
± 2% and is factory calibrated.
When the brownout detector is enabled and VDDFLASH decreases to a value below the trigger
level (Vbot33-, defined as Vbot33 - hyst/2), the brownout output is immediately activated.
When VDDFLASH increases above the trigger level (Vbot33+, defined as Vbot33 + hyst/2), the
reset is released. The brownout detector only detects a drop if the voltage on VDDCORE stays
below the threshold voltage for longer than about 1µs.
The VDDFLASH threshold voltage has a hysteresis of about 50 mV, to ensure spike free brown-
out detection. The typical value of the brownout detector threshold is 2.80V with an accuracy of
± 3.5% and is factory calibrated.
The brownout detector is low-power, as it consumes less than 20 µA static current. However, it
can be deactivated to save its static current. In this case, it consumes less than 1µA. The deac-
tivation is configured through the GPNVM bit 0 of the Flash.
The Clock Generator embeds one low-power RC Oscillator, one Main Oscillator and one PLL
with the following characteristics:
• Based on one power-on reset cell and a double brownout detector
• Status of the last reset, either Power-up Reset, Software Reset, User Reset, Watchdog
• Controls the internal resets and the NRST pin output
• Allows to shape a signal on the NRST line, guaranteeing that the length of the pulse meets
• RC Oscillator ranges between 22 KHz and 42 KHz
