6.11 Power Control (PCON) Register
The Power Control (PCON) register contains flag bits
to differentiate between a:
• Power-on Reset (POR)
• Brown-out Reset (BOR)
• Reset Instruction Reset (RI)
• Stack Overflow Reset (STKOVF)
• Stack Underflow Reset (STKUNF)
• MCLR Reset (RMCLR)
The PCON register bits are shown in Register 6-2.

HC = Bit is cleared by hardware
R = Readable bit
W = Writable bit
u = Bit is unchanged
x = Bit is unknown
‘1’ = Bit is set
‘0’ = Bit is cleared
HS = Bit is set by hardware
U = Unimplemented bit, read as ‘0’
-m/n = Value at POR and BOR/Value at all other Resets
q = Value depends on condition

STKOVF: Stack Overflow Flag bit
1 = A Stack Overflow occurred
0 = A Stack Overflow has not occurred or set to ‘0’ by firmware
STKUNF: Stack Underflow Flag bit
1 = A Stack Underflow occurred
0 = A Stack Underflow has not occurred or set to ‘0’ by firmware
Unimplemented: Read as ‘0’
RMCLR: MCLR Reset Flag bit
1 = A MCLR Reset has not occurred or set to ‘1’ by firmware
0 = A MCLR Reset has occurred (set to ‘0’ in hardware when a MCLR Reset occurs)
RI: RESET Instruction Flag bit
1 = A RESET instruction has not been executed or set to ‘1’ by firmware
0 = A RESET instruction has been executed (set to ‘0’ in hardware upon executing a RESET instruction)
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 Power-on Reset or Brown-out Reset
occurs)
