Applications

In many applications, the ability to detect a drop below

or rise above a particular threshold is desirable. For

example, the HLVD module could be periodically

enabled to detect Universal Serial Bus (USB) attach or

detach. This assumes the device is powered by a lower

voltage source than the USB when detached. An attach

would indicate a high-voltage detect from, for example,

3.3V to 5V (the voltage on USB) and vice versa for a

detach. This feature could save a design a few extra

components and an attach signal (input pin).

For general battery applications, Figure 24-4 shows a

possible voltage curve. Over time, the device voltage

decreases. When the device voltage reaches voltage,

VA, the HLVD logic generates an interrupt at time, TA.

The interrupt could cause the execution of an ISR,

which would allow the application to perform “house-

keeping tasks” and perform a controlled shutdown

before the device voltage exits the valid operating

range at TB. The HLVD, thus, would give the applica-

tion a time window, represented by the difference

between TA and TB, to safely exit.
