LCD Regulator is Externally Supplied by Battery

There is also a battery voltage monitor circuitry on the AT91SAM7L-STK board. The voltage is mea-
sured by AD3 of the AT91SAM7L128. This measurement bridge can be disconnected to save power
consumption in OFF mode.

This is under PC15 IO control as follows:

„

PC15 = 0 enables the measurement bridge and half of the battery voltage is applied to AD3.

„

PC15 = 1 or high impedance disables the measurement bridge.
