PCON Register
The Power Control (PCON) register contains flag bits
to allow differentiation between a Power-on Reset
(POR), a Brown-out Reset (BOR), a Watchdog Reset
(WDT) and an external MCLR Reset.

REGISTER 4-8:
PCON REGISTER (ADDRESS 8Eh)
Note:
BOR is unknown on POR. It must 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 predictable if
the brown-out circuit is disabled (by clear-
ing the BODEN bit in the configuration
word).
