PIC18F87J10 FAMILY
5.0
RESET
The PIC18F87J10 family of devices differentiate
between various kinds of Reset: 
a)
Power-on Reset (POR) 
b)
MCLR Reset during normal operation
c)
MCLR Reset during power-managed modes 
d)
Watchdog Timer (WDT) Reset (during 
execution)
e)
Brown-out Reset (BOR) 
f)
RESET Instruction
g)
Stack Full Reset
h)
Stack Underflow Reset
This section discusses Resets generated by MCLR,
POR and BOR and covers the operation of the various
start-up timers. Stack Reset events are covered in
Section 6.1.6.4 “Stack Full and Underflow Resets”.
WDT Resets are covered in Section 24.2 “Watchdog
Timer (WDT)”
.
A simplified block diagram of the on-chip Reset circuit
is shown in Figure 5-1.

RCON Register
Device Reset events are tracked through the RCON
register (Register ). The lower five bits of the register
indicate that a specific Reset event has occurred. In
most cases, these bits can only be set by the event and
must be cleared by the application after the event. The
state of these flag bits, taken together, can be read to
indicate the type of Reset that just occurred. This is
described in more detail in Section 5.6 “Reset State
of Registers”
.
The RCON register also has a control bit for setting
interrupt priority (IPEN). Interrupt priority is discussed
in Section 10.0 “Interrupts”.

Note 1: The ENVREG pin must be tied high to enable Brown-out Reset. The Brown-out Reset is provided by the on-chip
voltage regulator when there is insufficient source voltage to maintain regulation.
