PIC18F2420/2520/4420/4520
The High/Low-Voltage Detect Control register
(Register 22-1) completely controls the operation of the
HLVD module. This allows the circuitry to be “turned
22.0 HIGH/LOW-VOLTAGE
DETECT (HLVD)
off” by the user under software control, which
minimizes the current consumption for the device.
PIC18F2420/2520/4420/4520
devices
have
a
High/Low-Voltage Detect module (HLVD). This is a pro-
grammable circuit that allows the user to specify both a
device voltage trip point and the direction of change from
that point. If the device experiences an excursion past
the trip point in that direction, an interrupt flag is set. If the
interrupt is enabled, the program execution will branch to
the interrupt vector address and the software can then
respond to the interrupt.
The block diagram for the HLVD module is shown in
Figure 22-1.
