Just to confirm this. 

>From the TPS datasheet:

OFF In OFF mode the PMIC is completely shut down with the exception of a 
few circuits to monitor the AC,
USB, and push-button input. All power rails are turned off and the 
registers are reset to their default
values. The I2C communication interface is turned off. This is the lowest-power 
mode of operation. To exit
OFF mode one of the following wake-up events has to occur:
• The push button input is pulled low.
• The USB supply is connected (positive edge).
• The AC adapter is connected (positive edge).
To enter OFF state, set the OFF bit in the STATUS register to ‘1’ and thenpull 
the PWR_EN
pin low. Please note that in normal operation OFF state can only be entered 
from ACTIVE
state. Whenever a fault occurs during operation such as thermal shutdown,power
-good fail,
under voltage lockout, or PWR_EN pin timeout, all power rails are shut-down 
and the device
goes to OFF state. The device will remain in OFF state until the fault has 
been removed and
a new power-up event has occurred.

When the brownout occurs, the unit goes in the "off" state and happily 
stays there. Apperently, the voltages subject to brownout recovering does 
not define as a "positive edge".

If anyone has a pretty solution for this, I'd be interested. Obviously, I 
can implement some kind of a watchdog that cuts the 5V altogether at some 
point but is there a SW or other 'easy' solution?
