1.0V. At this time the brownout circuit becomes active and

about 1.8V, a delay of about 3 ms (t

If the Brownout Reset feature is enabled, the internal reset
will not be turned off until the Idle Timer underflows. The
internal reset will perform the same functions as external
reset. The device is guaranteed to operate at the specified
frequency down to the specified brownout voltage. After the
underflow, the logic is designed such that no additional
internal resets occur as long as V

The device is relatively immune to short duration negative-

battery powered systems.

High brownout voltage devices are guaranteed to operate at
10MHz down to the brownout voltage. Low brownout voltage
devices are guaranteed to operate at 3.33MHz down to the
brownout voltage. Devices are not guaranteed to operate
at 10MHz down to the low brownout voltage.
Under no circumstances should the RESET pin be allowed
to float. If the on-chip Brownout Reset feature is being used,
the RESET pin should be connected directly to V

resistor or to other external circuitry. Any rising edge on the

If the BOR feature is disabled, then no internal resets are
generated and the Idle Timer will power-up with an unknown
value. In this case, the external RESET must be used. When
BOR is disabled, this on-chip circuitry is disabled and draws
no DC current.
The contents of data registers and RAM are unknown fol-
