ST STM32L152-EVAL Application Note

AN3216 Power supplies
Doc ID 17496 Rev 5 11/30
2.3.1 Power-on reset (POR)/power-down reset (PDR),
brownout reset (BOR)
The monitoring voltage begins at 0.7 V.
During power-on, for devices operating between 1.8 and 3.6 V, the BOR keeps the device
under reset until the supply voltages (V
DD
and V
DDIO
) come close to the lowest acceptable
voltage (1.8 V). At power-up this internal reset is maintained during ~1 ms to wait for the
supply to reach its final value and stabilize.
At power-down the reset is activated as soon as the power drops below the lowest limit
(1.65 V).
At power-on, a defined reset should be maintained below 0.7 V. The upper threshold for a
reset release is defined in the electrical characteristics section of the product datasheets.

If you want to run the cpu at full speed the threshold should be raised to 2.0 V. For a
programmable threshold above the chip lowest limit, a brownout reset can be configured to
the desired value. The BOR can also be used to detect a power voltage drop earlier. The
threshold values of the BOR can be configured through the FLASH_OBR option byte.
2.3.2 Programmable voltage detector (PVD)
The device features an embedded programmable voltage detector (PVD) that monitors the
V
DD
/V
DDA
power supply and compares it to the V
PVD
threshold. Seven different PVD levels
can be selected by software between 1.85 V and 3.05 V, with a 200 mV step. An interrupt
can be generated when V
DD
/V
DDA
drops below the V
PVD
threshold and/or when V
DD
/V
DDA
is higher than the V
PVD
threshold. The interrupt service routine then generates a warning
message and/or puts the MCU into a safe state. The PVD is enabled by software
configuration. As an example, the service routine can perform emergency shutdown tasks.
