8.4 VBAT Monitor

to send the device automatically into standby mode if the supply voltage of AS3668 drops below the defined values in register vmon_vbat. All

together the user can select between three different voltage thresholds for this function with 3.375V, 3.3V and 3.0V. If the function is disabled the

device switches of if the battery voltage drops below 2.0V. The monitor function has also a debouncer with 100ms implemented in order to filter

the 217Hz GSM noise pulses from the battery supply voltage. Without the debouncer the chip would be susceptible to this noise and maybe

enter into standby mode due to a misinterpretation of the supply voltage.
