RESETS
The Reset module combines all Reset sources and
controls the device Master Reset Signal, SYSRST. The
following is a list of device Reset sources:
• POR: Power-on Reset
• MCLR: Pin Reset
• SWR: RESET Instruction
• WDTR: Watchdog Timer Reset
• BOR: Brown-out Reset
• Low-Power BOR/Deep Sleep BOR
• TRAPR: Trap Conflict Reset
• IOPUWR: Illegal Opcode Reset
• UWR: Uninitialized W Register Reset
 displays a simplified block diagram of the
Reset module.
Any active source of Reset will make the SYSRST
signal active. Many registers associated with the CPU
and peripherals are forced to a known Reset state.
Most registers are unaffected by a Reset; their status is
unknown on a Power-on Reset (POR) and unchanged
by all other Resets.
All types of device Reset will set a corresponding status
bit in the RCON register to indicate the type of Reset
(see 
). A POR will clear all bits except for
the BOR and POR bits (RCON<1:0>) which are set.
The user may set or clear any bit at any time during
code execution. The RCON bits only serve as status
bits. Setting a particular Reset status bit in software will
not cause a device Reset to occur. 
The RCON register also has other bits associated with
the Watchdog Timer (WDT) and device power-saving
states. The function of these bits is discussed in other
sections of this manual.

Note:
This data sheet summarizes the features
of this group of PIC24F devices. It is not
intended to be a comprehensive
reference source. For more information
on Resets, refer to the “PIC24F Family
Reference Manual”
,  Section 40. “Reset
with Programmable Brown-out Reset”
(DS39728).
Note:
Refer to the specific peripheral or CPU
section of this manual for register Reset
states.
Note:
The status bits in the RCON register
should be cleared after they are read so
that the next RCON register value, after a
device Reset, will be meaningful.
