External Reset
An external reset is generated by a low-level on the RESET
pin. Reset pulses longer than 500 ns will generate 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 timer starts the MCU after the Time-out period t
TOUT
has
expired.
Figure 15. External Reset During Operation
Brown-out Detection
ATtiny15L has an on-chip brown-out detection (BOD) circuit for monitoring the V
CC
level during the operation. The BOD cir-
cuit can be enabled/disabled by the fuse BODEN. When BODEN is enabled (BODEN programmed), and V
CC
decreases
below the trigger level, the brown-out reset is immediately activated. When V
CC
increases above the trigger level, the
brown-out reset is deactivated after a delay. The delay is defined by the user in the same way as the delay of POR signal,
in Table 5. The trigger level for the BOD can be selected by the fuse BODLEVEL to be 2.7V (BODLEVEL unprogrammed),
or 4.0V (BODLEVEL programmed). The trigger level has a hysteresis of 50 mV to ensure spike-free brown-out detection.
The BOD circuit will only detect a drop in V
CC
if the voltage stays below the trigger level for longer than 3 µs for trigger level
4.0V, 7
µs for trigger level 2.7V (typical values).
