11.2. Power-Fail Reset / V
DD
Monitor
When a power-down transition or power irregularity causes V
DD
to drop below V
RST
, the power supply
monitor will drive the /RST pin low and hold the CIP-51 in a reset state (see
Figure 11.2). When V
DD
returns to a level above V
RST
, the CIP-51 will be released from the reset state. Note that even though inter-
nal data memory contents are not altered by the power-fail reset, it is impossible to determine if V
DD
dropped below the level required for data retention. If the PORSF flag reads ‘1’, the data may no longer be
valid. The V
DD
monitor is enabled after power-on resets; however its defined state (enabled/disabled) is
not altered by any other reset source. For example, if the V
DD
monitor is enabled and a software reset is
performed, the V
DD
monitor will still be enabled after the reset.
Important Note: The V
DD
monitor must be enabled before it is selected as a reset source. Selecting the
V
DD
monitor as a reset source before it is enabled and stabilized will cause a system reset. The procedure
for configuring the V
DD
monitor as a reset source is shown below:
Step 1. Enable the V
DD
monitor (VDM0CN.7 = ‘1’).
Step 2. Wait for the V
DD
monitor to stabilize (see Table 11.1 for the V
DD
Monitor turn-on time).
Step 3. Select the V
DD
monitor as a reset source (RSTSRC.1 = ‘1’).
See Figure 11.2 for V
DD
monitor timing. See Table 11.1 for complete electrical characteristics of the V
DD
monitor.

DD
Monitor Enable.
This bit turns the V
DD
monitor circuit on/off. The V
DD
Monitor cannot generate system resets
until it is also selected as a reset source in register RSTSRC (SFR Definition 11.2). The V
DD
Monitor must be allowed to stabilize before it is selected as a reset source.
Selecting the
V
DD
monitor as a reset source before it has stabilized will generate a system reset.
See Table 11.1 for the minimum V
DD
Monitor turn-on time. The V
DD
Monitor is enabled fol-
lowing all POR resets.

is above the V
DD
monitor threshold.
