External Reset An External Reset is generatedbya lowlevel on theRESET pin. Reset pulseslonger
than theminimumpulse width(see Table18)will generate a reset, even if the clock is
not running. Shorterpulses arenotguaranteed to generate a reset. When theapplied
signalreaches theReset Threshold Voltage – V
RST
–onitspositive edge, the delay
counterstarts the MCU after theTime-out period t
TOUT
has expired.
Figure 24. External Reset During Operation
Brown-out Detection ATmega8515 has an On-chipBrown-out Detection (BOD) circuit for monitoring theV
CC
levelduring operation by comparingittoafixed triggerlevel.Thetriggerlevelfor the
BOD can be selectedbythe fuse BODLEVEL to be2.7V (BODLEVEL unprogrammed),
or 4.0V (BODLEVEL programmed).Thetriggerlevelhas a hysteresis to ensure spike
free Brown-out Detection. The hysteresis on the detection levelshould beinterpreted as
V

/2 and V

/2.
The BOD circuit can be enabled/disabledbythe fuse BODEN. When the BOD is
enabled(BODENprogrammed), and V
CC
decreases to a value below thetriggerlevel
(V
BOT-
in Figure25), the Brown-out Reset is immediately activated. When V
CC
increases
above thetriggerlevel(V
BOT+
in Figure25), the delaycounterstarts the MCU after the
time-out period t
TOUT
has expired.
The BOD circuit will only detectadrop in V
CC
if thevoltage stays below thetriggerlevel
forlonger than t

giveninTable 18.
