2.1.3 V
D1
Regulator Operation Mode
The V
D1
regulator supports two operation modes, normal mode and economy mode. Setting the V
D1
regulator into
economy mode at light loads helps achieve low-power operations. The following shows an example of light load
conditions in which economy mode can be set.
Light load condition: SLEEP mode (only when all oscillators are stopped)
The V
D1
regulator also supports automatic mode in which the hardware detects a light load condition and automati-
cally switches between normal mode and economy mode. Use the V
D1
regulator in automatic mode when no spe-
cial control is required.
2.2 System Reset Controller (SRC)
2.2.1 Overview
SRC is the system reset controller that resets the internal circuits according to the requests from the reset sources to
archive steady IC operations. The main features of SRC are outlined below.
• Embedded reset hold circuit maintains reset state to boot the system safely while the internal power supply is un-
stable after power on or the oscillation frequency is unstable after the clock source is initiated.
• Supports reset requests from multiple reset sources.
- #RESET pin
- POR and BOR
- Key-entry reset
- Watchdog timer reset
- Supply voltage detector reset
- Peripheral circuit software reset (supports some peripheral circuits only)
• The CPU registers and peripheral circuit control bits will be reset with an appropriate initialization condition ac-
cording to changes in status.
Figure 2.2.1.1 shows the SRC configuration.
