2.2.2.6 PCON Register
Note:
Interrupt flag bits get set when an interrupt
condition occurs, regardless of the state of
its corresponding enable bit or the global
enable bit, GIE (INTCON<7>). User soft-
ware should ensure the appropriate inter-
rupt flag bits are clear prior to enabling an
interrupt.
The Power Control (PCON) register contains a flag bit
to allow differentiation between a Power-on Reset
(POR), a Brown-out Reset, an external MCLR Reset
and WDT Reset.
Note:
BOR is unknown on Power-on Reset. It
must then be set by the user and checked
on subsequent RESETS to see if BOR is
clear, indicating a brown-out has occurred.
The BOR status bit is a ‘don't care’ and is
not necessarily predictable if the brown-out
circuit is disabled (by clearing the BOREN
bit in the Configuration word).

bit 1
bit 0
Unimplemented: Read as ‘0’
POR: Power-on Reset Status bit
1 = No Power-on Reset occurred
0 = A Power-on Reset occurred (must be set in software after a Power-on Reset occurs)
BOR: Brown-out Reset Status bit
1 = No Brown-out Reset occurred
0 = A Brown-out Reset occurred (must be set in software after a Brown-out Reset occurs)
Legend:
R = Readable bit
- n = Value at POR
W = Writable bit
‘1’ = Bit is set
U = Unimplemented bit, read as ‘0’
‘0’ = Bit is cleared x = Bit is unknown
