This driver for Atmel® | SMART ARM®-based microcontrollers provides an interface for the configuration and management of the device's Brown Out Detector (BOD) modules, to detect and respond to under-voltage events and take an appropriate action.

The following peripheral is used by this module:

SUPC (Supply Controller)

The following devices can use this module:

Atmel | SMART SAM L21/L22
Atmel | SMART SAM R34/R35

The outline of this documentation is as follows:

Prerequisites

There are no prerequisites for this module.

Module Overview

The SAM devices contain a number of Brown Out Detector (BOD) modules. Each BOD monitors the supply voltage for any dips that go below the set threshold for the module. In case of a BOD detection the BOD will either reset the system or raise a hardware interrupt so that a safe power-down sequence can be attempted.

Special Considerations

The time between a BOD interrupt being raised and a failure of the processor to continue executing (in the case of a core power failure) is system specific; care must be taken that all critical BOD detection events can complete within the amount of time available.
