14.2.5 TIME-OUT SEQUENCE
On power-up, the time-out sequence is as follows: first,
PWRT time-out is invoked after POR has expired, then
OST is activated after the PWRT time-out has expired.
The total time-out will vary based on oscillator
configuration and PWRTE bit status. For example, in
EC mode with PWRTE bit erased (PWRT disabled),
there will be no time-out at all. Figures 14-4, 14-5
and 14-6 depict time-out sequences. The device can
execute code from the INTOSC while OST is active by
enabling Two-Speed Start-up or Fail-Safe Monitor (see
Section 4.7.2 “Two-speed Start-up Sequence” and
Section 4.8 “Fail-Safe Clock Monitor”).
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 will begin execution immediately
(see Figure 14-5). This is useful for testing purposes or

Table 14-5 shows the Reset conditions for some
special registers, while Table 14-4 shows the Reset
conditions for all the registers.
14.2.6 POWER CONTROL (PCON)
REGISTER
The Power Control register PCON (address 8Eh) has
two Status bits to indicate what type of Reset that last
occurred.
Bit 0 is BOR (Brown-out Reset). BOR is unknown on
Power-on Reset. It must then be set by the user and
checked on subsequent Resets to see if BOR = 0,
indicating that 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
(BOREN<1:0> = 00 in the Configuration Word
Register 1).
Bit 1 is POR (Power-on Reset). It is a ‘0’ on Power-on
Reset and unaffected otherwise. The user must write a
‘1’ to this bit following a Power-on Reset. On a
subsequent Reset, if POR is ‘0’, it will indicate that a
Power-on Reset has occurred (i.e., VDD may have
gone too low).
For more information, see Section 3.2.2 “Ultra
Low-Power Wake-up” and Section 14.2.4
“Brown-out Reset (BOR)”.
