5.7 Reset State of Registers
Most registers are unaffected by a Reset. Their status
is unknown on a Power-on Reset and unchanged by all
other Resets. The other registers are forced to a “Reset
state” depending on the type of Reset that occurred.
Most registers are not affected by a WDT wake-up,
since this is viewed as the resumption of normal oper-
ation. Status bits from the RCON register, RI
, TO, PD,
CM
, POR and BOR, are set or cleared differently in
different Reset situations, as indicated in Table 5 -3.
These bits are used in software to determine the nature
of the Reset.
Table 5-4 describes the Reset states for all of the
Special Function Registers. These are categorized by
Power-on and Brown-out Resets, Master Clear and
WDT Resets and WDT wake-ups.

Note 1: When the wake-up is due to an interrupt and the GIEH or GIEL bits are set, the PC is loaded with the
interrupt vector (008h or 0018h).
2: Reset state is ‘1’ for POR and unchanged for all other Resets when software BOR is enabled
(BOREN<1:0>, Configuration bits =
01 and SBOREN = 1); otherwise, the Reset state is ‘0’.
