Residual Voltage Protection
When the battery is replaced, device power Vdd is removed but residual voltage
remains. The residual voltage may trip below Vdd minimum, but not to zero. This
condition may cause a poor power-on reset. Fig. 6-16 and Fig. 6-17 show how to
create a protection circuit against residual voltage.

6.10 Low Voltage Reset
Low voltage reset (LVR) is designed for unstable power situation, such as external
power noise interference or in EMS test condition.
When LVR is enabled, the system supply voltage (Vdd) drops below Vdd reset level
(V
RESET
) and remains at 10
μ
s, system reset will occur and the system will remain at
reset status. The system will remain at reset status until Vdd voltage rises above Vdd
release level. Refer to Fig 6-18.
