6.11 Power Control (PCON) Register
The Power Control (PCON) register contains flag bits
to differentiate between a:
• Power-on Reset (POR)
• Brown-out Reset (BOR)
• Reset Instruction Reset (RI)
• Stack Overflow Reset (STKOVF)
• Stack Underflow Reset (STKUNF)
• MCLR Reset (RMCLR)
The PCON register bits are shown in Register 6-2.

Legend:
HC = Bit is cleared by hardware
HS = Bit is set by hardware
U = Unimplemented bit, read as ‘0’
R = Readable bit
u = Bit is unchanged
‘1’ = Bit is set
W = Writable bit
x = Bit is unknown
‘0’ = Bit is cleared
-m/n = Value at POR and BOR/Value at all other Resets
q = Value depends on condition
bit 7
bit 6
STKOVF: Stack Overflow Flag bit
1= A Stack Overflow occurred
0= A Stack Overflow has not occurred or set to ‘0’ by firmware
STKUNF: Stack Underflow Flag bit
1= A Stack Underflow occurred
0= A Stack Underflow has not occurred or set to ‘0’ by firmware
bit 5-4
bit 3
Unimplemented: Read as ‘0’
RMCLR: MCLR Reset Flag bit
1= A MCLR Reset has not occurred or set to ‘1’ by firmware
0= A MCLR Reset has occurred (set to ‘0’ in hardware when a MCLR Reset occurs)
bit 2
bit 1
bit 0
RI: RESETInstruction Flag bit
1= A RESETinstruction has not been executed or set to ‘1’ by firmware
0= A RESETinstruction has been executed (set to ‘0’ in hardware upon executing a RESETinstruction)
POR: Power-on Reset Status bit
1= No Power-on Reset occurred
0= A Power-on Reset occurred (must be set in software after a Power-on Reset occurs)
BOR: Brown-out Reset Status bit
1= No Brown-out Reset occurred
0= A Brown-out Reset occurred (must be set in software after a Power-on Reset or Brown-out Reset
occurs)
