POWER SUPPLY MONITOR
As its name suggests, the Power Supply Monitor, once enabled,
monitors both supplies (AV

DD

and DV

DD

) on the ADuC812. It

will indicate when either power supply drops below one of five
user-selectable voltage trip points from 2.63 V to 4.63 V. For
correct operation of the Power Supply Monitor function, AV

DD

must be equal to or greater than 2.7 V. The Power Supply
Monitor function is controlled via the PSMCON SFR. If
enabled via the IE2 SFR, the Power Supply Monitor will interrupt

the core using the PSMI bit in the PSMCON SFR. This bit will
not be cleared until the failing power supply has returned
above the trip point for at least 256 ms. This is to ensure that
the power supply has fully settled before the bit is cleared. This
monitor function allows the user to save working registers to avoid
possible data loss due to the low supply condition, and also ensures
that normal code execution will not resume until a safe supply
level has been well established. The supply monitor is also
protected against spurious glitches triggering the interrupt circuit.

AV

and DV

DD

Comparator Bit.

This is a read-only bit and directly reflects the state of the AV

DD

and DV

DD

comparators.

Read “1” indicates that both AV

DD

and DV

DD

supply are above its selected trip point.

Read “0” indicates that either AV

DD

or DV

DD

supply are below its selected trip point.

5

PSMI

Power Supply Monitor Interrupt Bit.
This bit will be set high by the MicroConverter if CMP is low, indicating low analog
or digital supply. The PSMI bit can be used to interrupt the processor. Once CMPD
and/or CMP return (and remain) high, a 256 ms counter is started. When this counter
times out, the PSMI interrupt is cleared. PSMI can also be written by the user. How
ever, if either comparator output is low, it is not possible for the user to clear PSMI.

Read “1” indicates that the AV

DD

supply caused the fault condition.

Read “0” indicates that the DV

supply caused the fault condition.

PSMEN

Power Supply Monitor Enable Bit.
Set to “1” by the user to enable the Power Supply Monitor Circuit.
Cleared to “0” by the user to disable the Power Supply Monitor Circuit.

Example
To configure the PSM for a trippoint of 4.37 V, the following
code would be used
MOV

PSMCON,#005h

;enable PSM with
;4.37V threshold

SETB

EA

;enable interrupts

MOV

IE2,#002h

;enable PSM
;interrupt

If the supply voltage falls below this level, the PC would vector
to the ISR.
