PIC16F913/914/916/917/946
The PLVD module includes the following capabilities:
11.0 PROGRAMMABLE
LOW-VOLTAGE DETECT
(PLVD) MODULE
• Eight programmable trip points
• Interrupt on falling VDD
• Stable reference indication
The Programmable Low-Voltage Detect (PLVD)
module is a power supply detector which monitors the
internal power supply. This module is typically used in
key fobs and other devices, where certain actions
need to be taken as a result of a falling battery voltage.
• Operation during Sleep
A Block diagram of the PLVD module is shown in
