COP REGISTER
The COP register is shared with the MSB of an unimplemented User Interrupt Vector as
shown in Figure 6-3. Reading this location will return whatever user data has been
programmed at this location. Writing a “0” to the COPR bit in this location will clear the COP
watchdog timer.

LOW-VOLTAGE RESET (LVR)
The internal low voltage (LVR) reset is generated when V
DD
falls below the LVR threshold
V
LVRI
and will be released following a POR delay starting when V
DD
rises above V
LVRR
.
The LVR threshold is tested to be above the minimum operating voltage of the
microcontroller and is intended to ensure that the CPU will be held in reset when the V
BATT
supply voltage is below reasonable operating limits. However, it should be noted that the
LVR monitors V
DD
not V
BATT
. A mask option is provided to disable the LVR when the
device is expected to normally operate at low voltages. Note that the V
DD
rise and fall slew
rates (S
VDDR
and S
VDDF
) must be within the specification for proper LVR operation. If the
specification is not met, the circuit will operate properly following a delay of V
DD
/Slew rate.
The LVR will generate the RST signal that will reset the CPU and other peripherals. As it is
not possible to determine the level of the internal V
DD
at the point V
BATT
recovers (and POR
is not intended to detect a loss of V
DD
), an LVR will always recover using a POR delay. The
low voltage reset will activate the internal pulldown device connected to the RESET pin.
