6.7 Time-out Sequence and
Power-down Status Bits (TO
/PD)
On power-up (Figures 6-6 through 6-9), the time-out
sequence is as follows:
1. PWRT time-out is invoked after a POR has
expired.
2. Then, the OST is activated.
The total time-out will vary based on oscillator configu-
ration and PWRTE configuration bit status. For exam-
ple, in RC mode with the PWRT disabled, there will be
no time-out at all.
TABLE 6-5: TIME-OUT IN VARIOUS
SITUATIONS
Since the time-outs occur from the POR pulse, if MCLR
is kept low long enough, the time-outs will expire. Then
bringing MCLR
high, execution will begin immediately
(Figure 6-6). This is useful for testing purposes or to
synchronize more than one PIC16F84A device when
operating in parallel.
Table 6-6 shows the significance of the TO
and PD bits.
Table 6-3 lists the RESET conditions for some special
registers, while Table 6-4 lists the RESET conditions
for all the registers.

SIGNIFICANCE

V1
When VDD rises very slowly, it is possible that the TPWRT time-out and TOST time-out will expire before VDD
has reached its final value. In this example, the chip will reset properly if, and only if, V1  VDD min.
