PIC16F87X

12.3 RESET

The PIC16F87X differentiates between various kinds of

RESET:

• Power-on Reset (POR)

• MCLR Reset during normal operation

• MCLR Reset during SLEEP

• WDT Reset (during normal operation)

• WDT Wake-up (during SLEEP)

• Brown-out Reset (BOR)

Some registers are not affected in any RESET condi-

tion. Their status is unknown on POR and unchanged

in any other RESET. Most other registers are reset to a

“RESET state” on Power-on Reset (POR), on the

MCLR and WDT Reset, on MCLR Reset during

SLEEP, and Brown-out Reset (BOR). They are not

affected by a WDT Wake-up, which is viewed as the

resumption of normal operation. The TO and PD bits

are set or cleared differently in different RESET situa-

tions as indicated in Table 12-4. These bits are used in

software to determine the nature of the RESET. See

Table 12-6 for a full description of RESET states of all

registers.

A simplified block diagram of the On-Chip Reset Circuit

is shown in Figure 12-4.

These devices have a MCLR noise filter in the MCLR

Reset path. The filter will detect and ignore small

pulses.

It should be noted that a WDT Reset does not drive

MCLR pin low.
