Abstract
A method of undervoltage detection includes detecting a voltage level for a power supply of a system, placing the system in an undervoltage state if the voltage level is below an undervoltage threshold, activating a load of the system at a first power level if the detected voltage level exceeds a first activation threshold and if the system resides in the undervoltage state, and activating the load at a second power level if the detected voltage level exceeds a second activation threshold.
