Brownout function is used to determine if the device supply voltage is lower than a threshold voltage, a condition that may be considered unsafe for proper operation of the device.
The Brownout threshold is higher than the Reset threshold voltage; Therefore when the device supply voltage is lower than brownout threshold, it does not necessarily trigger a device reset.
The brownout interrupt flag can be polled or alternatively can trigger an interrupt to service such case by an interrupt service routine.
Please refer to Section 3.6 of UCD3138 device datasheet for more information about specific Brownout threshold levels.
