Reset State of Registers
Most registers are unaffected by a Reset. Their status
is unknown on POR and unchanged by all other
Resets. The other registers are forced to a “Reset
state” depending on the type of Reset that occurred. 
Most registers are not affected by a WDT wake-up,
since this is viewed as the resumption of normal oper-
ation. Status bits from the RCON register, RI, TO, PD,
POR and BOR, are set or cleared differently in different
Reset situations as indicated in Table 4-3. These bits
are used in software to determine the nature of the
Reset. 
Table 4-4 describes the Reset states for all of the
Special Function Registers. These are categorized by
Power-on and Brown-out Resets, Master Clear and
WDT Resets and WDT wake-ups.

Note 1:
When the wake-up is due to an interrupt and the GIEH or GIEL bits are set, the PC is loaded with the 
interrupt vector (008h or 0018h).
2:
Reset state is ‘1’ for POR and unchanged for all other Resets when software BOR is enabled 
(BOREN1:BOREN0 Configuration bits = 01 and SBOREN = 1); otherwise, the Reset state is ‘0’.
