When the BOD is enabled, and V
CC
decreases to a value below the trigger level (V
BOT-
in Figure
8-5), the Brown-out Reset is immediately activated. When V
CC
increases above the trigger level
(V
BOT+
in Figure 8-5), 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 Table 8-1.

8.6 Watchdog Reset
When the Watchdog times out, it will generate a short reset pulse of one CK cycle duration. On
the falling edge of this pulse, the delay timer starts counting the Time-out period t
TOUT
. Refer to
page 41 for details on operation of the Watchdog Timer.
