Quoting out of the AMM:

Low Energy Warning
General
The Low Energy Function is to prevent the A/C from entering a low energy situation by alerting the pilot through an audio warning:
"SPEED...SPEED...SPEED".

Pilot has to increase thrust and low energy warning disappears as soon as:
- Thrust level is high enough or
- Alpha floor protection is triggered or
- Pitch go around mode is triggered.

Low energy warning is available in configuration 2, 3 and FULL and between 100 ft and 2000 ft RA.


Warning

A combination of angle-of-attack, flight-path angle and deceleration is computed and compared to a threshold, depending on slat/flap configuration, typically 0.4 deg. to 1 deg. lower than alpha floor threshold.
When the result of the combination is above this threshold for more than 0.5 sec, low energy condition is triggered for at least 3 sec and sent to the FWC that elaborates the audio warning.

System aspects
The low energy detection is not duplicated.
