4.14 SVD (Supply Voltage Detection) Circuit
4.14.1 Configuration of SVD circuit
The S1C63616 has a built-in SVD (supply voltage detection) circuit, so that the software can find when the
source voltage lowers. Turning the SVD circuit on/off and the SVD criteria voltage setting can be done with
software. Figure 4.14.1.1 shows the configuration of the SVD circuit.

4.14.2 SVD operation
The SVD circuit compares the criteria voltage set by software and the supply voltage (V
DD
terminal–
V
SS
terminal) and sets its results into the SVDDT latch. By reading the data of this SVDDT latch, it can be
determined by means of software whether the supply voltage is normal or has dropped.
The criteria voltage can be selected from 16 types shown in Table 4.14.2.1 using the SVDS3–SVDS0 register.

When the SVDON register is set to "1", supply voltage detection by the SVD circuit is executed. As soon as
the SVDON register is reset to "0", the result is loaded to the SVDDT latch and the SVD circuit goes off.
To obtain a stable detection result, the SVD circuit must be on for at least 500 µsec. So, to obtain the SVD
detection result, follow the programming sequence below.
1. Set SVDON to "1"
2. Maintain for 500 µsec minimum
3. Set SVDON to "0"
4. Read SVDDT
When the SVD circuit is on, the IC draws a large current, so keep the SVD circuit off unless it is.
