In addition to metrology accuracy testing,
functionality testing is done on the TPS3840 SVS device. For this purpose, the board is
powered by connecting an external power supply directly to DVCC and the output voltage
of the external power supply is slowly varied from 3.3V down to 1.6V. The threshold
voltage at which the MSPM0G3507 MCU is reset by the TPS3840 device, which is referred to
as the negative voltage threshold, is logged. After the negative voltage threshold is
reached, the power supply output voltage is slowly increased from 1.6V back to 3.3V. The
voltage at which the reset is released, which is equal to the negative voltage threshold
plus hysteresis voltage, is logged as well.
