7.6 Brownout and Blackout Conditions

The device enters a brownout condition when the input voltage dips below VBROWNOUT (see Figure 7-4 and Figure 7-5). This condition must be considered during design of the power supply routing, especially if operating from a battery. High-current operations, such as a TX packet or any external activity (not necessarily related directly to networking) can cause a drop in the supply voltage, potentially triggering a brownout condition. The resistance includes the internal resistance of the battery, contact resistance of the battery holder (four contacts for a 2× AA battery), and the wiring and PCB routing resistance.

Note:

When the device is in the Hibernate state, brownout is not detected; only blackout is in effect during the Hibernate state.

In the brownout condition, all sections of the CC3120MOD (including the 32kHz RTC) shut down except for the Hibernate module, which remains on. The current in this state can reach approximately 400µA. The blackout condition is equivalent to a hardware reset event in which all states within the device are lost.

Table 7-1 lists the brownout and blackout voltage levels.
