Voltage Detection Circuit
The voltage detection circuit monitors the input voltage to the VCC pin. This circuit can be used to monitor
the VCC input voltage by a program. Alternately, voltage monitor 1 reset, voltage monitor 2 interrupt, and
voltage monitor 2 reset can also be used.
Table 7.1 lists the Specifications of Voltage Detection Circuit and Figures 7.1 to 7.3 show the Block
Diagrams. Figures 7.4 to 7.6 show the Associated Registers.
