A microcontroller receives a supply voltage (VCC) from one or more batteries. Rather than automatically resetting the microcontroller if VCC drops below a VBO voltage, a latent VBO reset circuit does not reset the processor if VCC drops below a second voltage (VBO) as long as VCC does not fall so low that a power on reset (POR) circuit of the latent VBO reset circuit is tripped. The processor continues to operate as long as it can below VBO, thereby maximizing battery usage. When VCC rises to a third voltage (for example, due to battery replacement), then the latent VBO reset circuit automatically resets the processor to remove potential ill-effects of having operated below VBO. User data stored in volatile memory is not lost during battery replacement. A special VBO bit in a processor-readable status register indicates that the microcontroller operated below VBO.
