8.2.2 External Reset
An External Reset is generated by a low level on the RESET
pin if enabled. Reset pulses longer
than the minimum pulse width (See “System and Reset Characteristics” on page 120.) will gen-
erate a reset, even if the clock is not running. Shorter pulses are not guaranteed to generate a
reset. When the applied signal reaches the Reset Threshold Voltage – V
RST
– on its positive
edge, the delay counter starts the MCU after the Time-out period – t
TOUT
has expired.

8.2.3 Brown-out Detection
ATtiny13A has an On-chip Brown-out Detection (BOD) circuit for monitoring the V
CC
level during
operation by comparing it to a fixed trigger level. The trigger level for the BOD can be selected
by the BODLEVEL fuses. The trigger level has a hysteresis to ensure spike free Brown-out
Detection. The hysteresis on the detection level should be interpreted as V
BOT+
= V
BOT
+ V
HYST
/2
and V
BOT-
= V
BOT
- V
HYST
/2.
When the BOD is enabled, and V
CC
decreases to a value below the trigger level (V
BOT-
in Figure
8-5 on page 37), the Brown-out Reset is immediately activated. When V
CC
increases above the
trigger level (V
BOT+
in Figure 8-5 on page 37), the delay counter starts the MCU after the Time-
out period t
TOUT
has expired.
The BOD circuit will only detect a drop in V
CC
if the voltage stays below the trigger level for lon-
ger than t
BOD
given in System and Reset Characteristics” on page 120.
