Notes:
1. The Power-on Reset will not work unless the supply voltage has been below VPOT
(falling).
2. VBOT may be below nominal minimum operating voltage for some devices. For
devices where this is the case, the device is tested down to VCC = VBOT during the
production test. This guarantees that a Brown-out Reset will occur before VCC drops
to a voltage where correct operation of the microcontroller is no longer guaranteed.
The test is performed using BODLEVEL = 1 for ATmega32L and BODLEVEL = 0 for
ATmega32. BODLEVEL = 1 is not applicable for ATmega32.
