Chapter 3: LPC13xx System configuration
3.8 Brown-out detection
The LPC13xx includes four levels for monitoring the voltage on the V
DD
pin. If this voltage
falls below one of the four selected levels, the BOD asserts an interrupt signal to the
NVIC. This signal can be enabled for interrupt in the Interrupt Enable Register in the NVIC
in order to cause a CPU interrupt; if not, software can monitor the signal by reading a
dedicated status register. Oneadditional threshold level can be selected to cause a forced
reset of the chip on the LPC1311/13/42/43 parts. Four additional threshold levels for
forced reset can be selected on the LPC1311/01 and LPC1313/01 parts.
3.9 Power management
The LPC13xx support a variety of power control features. In Active mode, when the chip is
running, power and clocks to selected peripherals can be optimized for power
consumption. In addition, there are three special modes of processor power reduction:
Sleep mode, Deep-sleep mode, and Deep power-down mode.
Remark:
The Debug mode is not supported in Sleep, Deep-sleep, or Deep power-down
modes.
