BATTERY MONITORING AND UNDERVOLTAGE LOCK-OUT (UVLO)
The WM8400 incorporates a Battery Comparator Supervisory function, which monitors the voltage on
the LINE supply pin and compares it with programmable thresholds. This feature can be used to
ensure that a suitable supply is available before enabling any dependent peripherals and also
enables the WM8400 to respond to any drops in Battery voltage. Note that a different threshold is
provided for increasing LINE voltage and for decreasing LINE voltage. The device behaviour when
the LINE voltage falls below the threshold LINE_CMP_VTHD is set using register bit
LINE_CMP_ERRACT. When the LINE voltage falls below LINE_CMP_VTHD, the associated
Interrupt Level bit LINE_CMP_LVL will be set. Unless specifically masked, this condition will also
trigger an Interrupt (IRQ) Event (see “Interrupt Events”). The LINE_CMP_LVL bit will be reset once
the LINE voltage has risen above the threshold LINE_CMP_VTHI.
It is recommended that the thresholds are set during the initial set-up programming stages
The Undervoltage Lock-Out (UVLO) circuit monitors the voltage on the LINE supply pin. An
Undervoltage condition is detected if this voltage drops below a threshold of 2.7v ±0.1v. Under this
condition, the accuracy and regulation of all the DC-DC Converters and LDO Regulators is likely to
be degraded. The device behaviour under this condition can be set using register bit
UVLO_ERRACT, as detailed in Table 97.
If an IRQ event arises from these functions, this causes the NIRQ pin to output a logic low level
(referenced to the MBVDD power domain).

The coding for the Battery Comparator threshold voltage select fields is detailed in Table 98.
