Power Supply System (PSS)
Because the threshold voltage of VCCDET is not precise, it is not recommended to use VCCDET for
monitoring the supply voltage on-chip. Applications that require precise monitoring of supply voltage on-
chip should rather use SVSMH module. See the device-specific data sheet for the SVSMH threshold
voltages.
In case of supply failure when SVSMH is disabled by the application or in case of a sudden failure of
supply at a rate faster than recommended for SVSMH module, the VCCDET generates a POR reset. As
described earlier, this does not ensure a controlled power-down of the device, rather an asynchronous
reset. When the supply is available subsequently, the device goes through the power-up sequence and
reaches default active mode once the POR is de-asserted.
7.2.4 PSS Interrupts
There is only one interrupt condition from PSS that is triggered by SVSMH module while operating in the
monitor mode. The interrupt condition is available through SVSMHIFG bit. When SVSMHIE bit is set to 1,
the interrupt is asserted from PSS. This interrupt can be handled as maskable or nonmaskable interrupt
by configuring the respective SYSCTL and NVIC registers.
