6.3.5.3 Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO)

If at any time the voltage on the VM or VCC pins falls below the VM or VCC undervoltage lockout threshold voltage, all circuitry in the device is disabled, and the indexer is reset to the home state. Operation resumes when VM and VCC both rise above each UVLO threshold.
