This threshold is 1.7 V and can&amp;#39;t be configured. It doesn&amp;#39;t look like brown-out reset can be turned OFF or configured, probably for good reason.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You can configure the power-fail comparator by enabling/disabling it and setting a threshold to get a warning of impending power failure.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;See the Power Management section of the User guide for more info.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: control of brown-out reset</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/17646?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Mon, 05 Jan 2015 19:10:55 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:ea446e97-6b41-49a1-8723-432009717653</guid><dc:creator>Locky</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;I believe these are hardware thresholds.  Your best way to mitigate the issue is increasing capacitance on your power lines to smooth out brown-outs.  Efficient F/W design reduces current consumption, which is conjunction with power line capacitance can allow your circuit to survive short Brown-outs.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
