				| Low Voltage Detect interrupt |

				I'm using the PIC18LF870/18LF8722.  CCS Ver 3.23.  I want to use #int_lowvolt interrupt to write to internal EE when VDD falls below a certain value.  Do any fuses need to be set?  What is a good way to set the LVDCON register bits?
 
thanks |

				Here is a Low Voltage Detect test program for the 18F452.
 
If you use a variable DC power supply which is initially set
 
at 5.0v, and you slowly reduce the voltage to 4.60v, at that
 
point you will get this displayed:
 
 	  | Quote: | 	 		  
 
Low voltage
 
 
Low voltage
 
 
Low voltage
 
 
Low voltage
 
 
Low voltage
 
 | 	                    
 
When you adjust the voltage above 4.60v, the messages will stop.
 
 
Initially, I had some code to print "AAAAA" to let me know it was
 
running, but I didn't need that in the final version, so it's commented out.
 
 
Also note that for your PIC, you have the ability to trigger on "above"
 
or "below" the LVD voltage.   An extra parameter may be used to
 
select this in the setup_low_voltage() function.  See notes in code, below.

#use delay(clock=4000000)
 
#use rs232(baud=9600, xmit=PIN_C6, rcv=PIN_C7, ERRORS)
 
 
#byte LVDCON = 0xFD2

   printf("Low Voltage Detect module didn't stabilize\n\r");
 
   while(1);   // Wait here forever    
 
  }

//   delay_ms(500);

				For 18f46j11 there is no low voltage interrupt defined. What should I do if I want to use this interrupt to clear the HLVDIF flag, and want to go to sleep mode? I can watch this flag with a bit test, and if it set maybe there is an event, but since there is no low voltage interrupt defined for this device, I really don't know what will happen. Please help    |

				Managed to do without interrupt, just with watching the LVDIF flag.

What i have to do/write for shutdown routine as the above poster uses this function for shutdown the microcontroller. |

What do you mean by "shutdown" ?   Do you mean Sleep mode ?
 
Probably.
 
 
Well, his shutdown() routine will set the i/o pins in whatever way he
 
wants them to be during sleep mode.  It will also turn off all modules
 
that use power (and that are not automatically turned off in sleep mode)
 
such as the Comparator and Vref.  Also disable interrupts if you don't want
 
to wake-up from sleep by interrupts.   Etc.  After doing all that, he will
 
execute the sleep() function. |
