Configuration Mismatch Flag bit
1
= A Configuration Mismatch Reset has not occurred
0
= A Configuration Mismatch Reset has occurred (must be set in software after a Configuration
Mismatch Reset occurs)
bit 4

Instruction Flag bit
1
= The RESET instruction was not executed (set by firmware only)
0
= The RESET instruction was executed, causing a device Reset (must be set in software after a
Brown-out Reset occurs)

= A Power-on Reset occurred (must be set in software after a Power-on Reset occurs)
bit 0
BOR:
Brown-out Reset Status bit
1
= A Brown-out Reset has not occurred (set by firmware only)
0
= A Brown-out Reset occurred (must be set in software after a Brown-out Reset occurs)
Note 1:
It is recommended that the POR bit be set after a Power-on Reset has been detected, so that subsequent
Power-on Resets may be detected.
Power-on Resets may be detected.
2:
If the on-chip voltage regulator is disabled, BOR remains at ‘0’ at all times. See
for more information.
3:
Brown-out Reset is said to have occurred when BOR is ‘0’ and POR is ‘1’ (assuming that POR was set to
‘1’ by software immediately after a Power-on Reset).
‘1’ by software immediately after a Power-on Reset).
