6.0 RESETS
The Reset module combines all Reset sources and
controls the device Master Reset Signal, SYSRST. The
following is a list of device Reset sources:
• POR: Power-on Reset
• BOR: Brown-out Reset
•MCLR
: Master Clear Pin Reset
•SWR: RESET Instruction
• WDTO: Watchdog Timer Reset
• CM: Configuration Mismatch Reset
• TRAPR: Trap Conflict Reset
• IOPUWR: Illegal Condition Device Reset
- Illegal Opcode Reset
- Uninitialized W Register Reset
- Security Reset
A simplified block diagram of the Reset module is
shown in Figure 6-1.
Any active source of Reset will make the SYSRST
signal active. On system Reset, some of the registers
associated with the CPU and peripherals are forced to
a known Reset state, and some are unaffected.
All types of device Reset set a corresponding status bit
in the RCON register to indicate the type of Reset (see
Register 6-1).
All bits that are set, with the exception of the POR bit
(RCON<0>), are cleared during a POR event. The user
application can set or clear any bit at any time during
code execution. The RCON bits only serve as status
bits. Setting a particular Reset status bit in software
does not cause a device Reset to occur.
The RCON register also has other bits associated with
the Watchdog Timer and device power-saving states.
The function of these bits is discussed in other sections
of this data sheet.

Note 1: This data sheet summarizes the features
of the dsPIC33FJ12GP201/202 family of
devices. It is not intended to be a
comprehensive reference source. To
complement the information in this data
sheet, refer to Section 8. “Reset”
(DS70192) of the “dsPIC33F/PIC24H
Family Reference Manual”, which is
available from the Microchip website
(www.microchip.com).
2: Some registers and associated bits
described in this section may not be
available on all devices. Refer to
Section 4.0 “Memory Organization” in
this data sheet for device-specific register
and bit information.
Note: Refer to the specific peripheral section or
Section 3.0 “CPU” of this manual for
register Reset states.
Note: The status bits in the RCON register
should be cleared after they are read so
that the next RCON register value after a
device Reset is meaningful.
