INTRODUCTION
The Reset module combines all the reset sources, and controls the device Master Reset Signal,
SYSRST. The following is a list of device Reset sources:
•
•
•
•
•
•
POR: Power-on Reset
BOR: Brown-out Reset
MCLR: Master Clear Pin Reset
SWR: RESET Instruction
WDTO: Watchdog Time-out Reset
CM: Configuration Mismatch Reset
(This source is not available on all devices. Refer to the specific device data sheet for
details.)
• TRAPR: Trap Conflict Reset
• IOPUWR: Illegal Condition Device Reset
- Illegal Opcode Reset
- Uninitialized W Register Reset
- Security Reset
A simplified block diagram of the Reset module is shown in Figure 8-1. Any active source of reset
will make the SYSRST signal active. On system Reset, some of the registers associated with the
CPU and peripherals are forced to a known Reset state, while some are unaffected.
Note:
Refer to the specific peripheral section or Section 2. “CPU” (DS70359) in the
“dsPIC33E/PIC24E Family Reference Manual” for register Reset states.
All types of device Reset set a corresponding status bit in the RCON register to indicate the type
of reset (see Register 8-1). A POR clears all bits except for the POR and BOR bits (RCON<1:0>),
which are set. The user application can 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.
The RCON register also contains bits associated with the Watchdog Timer and device power- saving
states. For more information, refer to Section 9. “Watchdog Timer and Power-Saving Modes”
(DS70615).

8.2
SYSTEM RESET
The dsPIC33E/PIC24E family of devices have two types of Reset: cold Reset and warm Reset.
A cold Reset is the result of a Power-on Reset (POR) or Brown-out Reset (BOR). On a cold
Reset, the FNOSC configuration bits in the FOSC device configuration register select the device
clock source.
A warm Reset is the result of all other Reset sources, including the RESET instruction. On a warm
Reset, the device will continue to operate from the current clock source as indicated by the
Current Oscillator Selection bits (COSC<2:0>) in the Oscillator Control register
(OSCCON<14:12>).
The device is kept in a Reset state until the system power supplies have stabilized at appropriate
levels and the oscillator clock is ready. Refer to Section 7. “Oscillator” (DS70580) for more
information.
When the oscillator clock is ready, the processor begins execution from location 0x000000. The
user application programs a GOTO instruction at the Reset address, which redirects program
execution to the appropriate start-up routine.
The Fail-Safe Clock Monitor (FSCM), if enabled, begins to monitor the system clock when the
system clock is ready and the delay TFSCM has elapsed.

PLL Lock Time Total Oscillator Delay
TOSCD = Oscillator Start-up Delay. Crystal Oscillator start-up times vary with crystal
characteristics, load capacitance, and so on. Refer to the ‘’Electrical
Characterisitic’’ chapter of the specific device data sheet for TOSCD specifications
when using the internal FRC or internal LPRC oscillator.
TOST = Oscillator Start-up Timer Delay (1024 oscillator clock periods). For example,
TOST = 102.4 μs for a 10 MHz crystal and TOST = 32 ms for a 32 kHz crystal.
TLOCK = PLL lock time, if the PLL is enabled. Refer to the ‘’Electrical
Characterisitic’’ chapter of the specific device data sheet for TLOCK specifications.
When the device exits the Reset condition (begins normal operation), the device
operating parameters (voltage, frequency, temperature, etc.) must be within their
operating ranges, otherwise the device may not function correctly. The user application must ensure that the delay between the time at which the power is first
applied and the time when the device comes out of Reset is long enough to get all
operating parameters within specification.
© 2010 Microchip Technology Inc.
Section 8. Reset
8.2.1
Power-on Reset (POR)
A Power-on Reset (POR) circuit ensures the device is Reset from power-on. The POR circuit is
active until VDD crosses the VPOR threshold and the power-up delay, TPU, has elapsed. The delay
TPU ensures the internal device bias circuits become stable.
The device supply voltage characteristics must meet the specified starting voltage and rise rate
requirements to generate the POR. Refer to the “Electrical Characteristics” chapter of the
specific device data sheet for details.
In addition to TPU and TOST/TPWRT (if applicable), a NVM power-up delay, TNPD, is incurred
before code execution begins.
The Power-on Reset status bit (POR) in the Reset Control (RCON<0>) register is set to indicate
the Power-on Reset.
The device start-up time line and POR timing characteristics are described in the “Electrical
Characteristics” chapter of the specific device data sheet.
8.2.2
Brown-out Reset (BOR) and Power-up Timer (PWRT)
The on-chip regulator has a Brown-out Reset (BOR) circuit that resets the device when the VDD
is too low (VDD < VBOR) for proper device operation. The BOR circuit keeps the device in Reset
until VDD crosses the VBOR threshold. Refer to the “Electrical Characteristics” chapter of the
specific device data sheet for the minimum BOR pulse width (TBOR) specifications.
The Brown-out Reset status bit (BOR) in the Reset Control register (RCON<1>) is set to indicate
the Brown-out Reset. Set the Software BOR Enable/Disable bit (SBOREN) in the Reset Control
register (RCON<13>) to enable BOR in software, or clear this bit to disable BOR in software.
Alternately, BOR can be disabled in hardware by programming the BOREN Configuration bit
(FPOR<3>) to ‘0’.
The power-up timer delay (TPWRT) is programmed by the Power-on Reset Timer Value Select
bits (FPWRT<2:0>) in the POR Configuration register (FPOR<2:0>), which provide eight settings
(from 0 ms to 128 ms). Refer to Section 30. “Device Configuration” (DS70618) for further
details.
8.2.3
External Reset (EXTR)
The External Reset is generated by driving the MCLR pin low. The MCLR pin is a Schmitt trigger
input with an additional glitch filter. Reset pulses that are longer than the minimum pulse-width
will generate a Reset. Refer to the “Electrical Characteristics” chapter of the specific device
data sheet for minimum MCLR pulse width specifications (TMCLR). The External Reset Pin bit
(EXTR) in the Reset Control register (RCON<7>) is set to indicate the MCLR Reset.
Many systems have external supervisory circuits that generate Reset signals to Reset multiple
devices in the system. This external Reset signal can be directly connected to the MCLR pin to
Reset the device when the rest of the system is Reset.
When using other sources to Reset the device, the external reset pin (MCLR) should be tied
directly or resistively to VDD. In this case, the MCLR pin will not be used to generate a Reset. The
external reset pin (MCLR) does not have an internal pull-up and must not be left unconnected.
8.2.4
Software RESET Instruction (SWR)
Whenever the RESET instruction is executed, the device will enter a warm Reset state. This
Reset state will not reinitialize the clock. The clock source in effect prior to the RESET instruction
will remain in effect. The device will be released from a Reset state at the next instruction cycle,
and the Reset vector fetch will commence.
The Software Reset (Instruction) Flag bit (SWR) in the Reset Control register (RCON<6>) is set
to indicate the software Reset.
© 2010 Microchip Technology Inc.
DS70602B-page 8-7
Reset
The device will not run at full speed after a BOR as the VDD must rise to acceptable levels for
full-speed operation. The PWRT provides a power-up timer delay (TPWRT) to ensure that the
system power supplies have stabilized at the appropriate levels for full-speed operation before
the device comes out of Reset.

dsPIC33E/PIC24E Family Reference Manual
8.2.5
Watchdog Time-out Reset (WDTO)
Whenever a Watchdog time-out occurs, the device will asynchronously assert SYSRST. The
clock source will remain unchanged. A WDT time-out during Sleep or Idle mode will wake-up
the processor, but will not reset the processor.
The Watchdog Time-out Flag bit (WDTO) in the Reset Control register (RCON<4>) is set to
indicate the Watchdog Reset. Refer to Section 9. “Watchdog Timer and Power-Saving
Modes” (DS70615) for more information on Watchdog Time-out Reset.
8.2.6
Trap Conflict Reset
If a lower-priority hard trap occurs while a higher-priority trap is being processed, a hard trap
conflict Reset occurs. The hard traps include exceptions of priority level 13 through level 15,
inclusive. The address error (level 13) and oscillator error (level 14) traps fall into this category.
The Trap Reset Flag bit (TRAPR) in the Reset Control register (RCON<15>) is set to indicate the
Trap Conflict Reset. Refer to Section 6. “Interrupts” (DS70600) for more information on Trap
Conflict Reset.
8.2.7
Configuration Mismatch Reset
To maintain the integrity of the peripheral pin select control registers, they are constantly monitored with shadow registers in hardware. If an unexpected change occurs in any of the registers
(such as cell disturbances caused by ESD or other external events), a configuration mismatch
Reset occurs.
The Configuration Mismatch Flag bit (CM) in the Reset Control register (RCON<9>) is set to
indicate the configuration mismatch Reset. Refer to Section 10. “I/O Ports” (DS70598) for
more information on the Configuration Mismatch Reset.
Note:
8.2.8
The configuration mismatch feature and associated Reset flag are not available on
all devices. (Refer to the specific device data sheet.)
Illegal Condition Device Reset
An illegal condition device Reset occurs due to the following sources:
• Illegal Opcode Reset
• Uninitialized W Register Reset
• Security Reset
The Illegal Opcode or Uninitialized W Access Reset Flag bit (IOPUWR) in the Reset Control
register (RCON<14>) is set to indicate the illegal condition device Reset.
8.2.8.1
ILLEGAL OPCODE RESET
A device Reset is generated if the device attempts to execute an illegal opcode value that is
fetched from the program memory.
The illegal opcode Reset function can prevent the device from executing program memory
sections that are used to store constant data. To take advantage of the illegal opcode Reset, use
only the lower 16 bits of each program memory section to store the data values. The upper 8 bits
should be programmed with 0x3F, which is an illegal opcode value.
8.2.8.2
UNINITIALIZED W REGISTER RESET
Any attempts to use the uninitialized W register as an address pointer will Reset the device. The
W register array (with the exception of W15) is cleared during all resets and is considered
uninitialized until written to.
DS70602B-page 8-8

Section 8. Reset
8.2.8.3
SECURITY RESET
If a Program Flow Change (PFC) or Vector Flow Change (VFC) targets a restricted location in a
protected segment (Boot and Secure Segment), that operation will cause a security Reset.
The PFC occurs when the Program Counter is reloaded as a result of a Call, Jump, Computed
Jump, Return, Return from Subroutine, or other form of branch instruction.
The VFC occurs when the Program Counter is reloaded with an Interrupt or Trap vector.
Refer to Section 23. “CodeGuard™ Security” (DS70634) for more information on Security
Reset.
Note 1: If a POR or BOR event occurs while a Run-Time Self-Programming (RTSP) erase
or programming operation is in progress, the RTSP operation is aborted
immediately. The user should execute the RTSP operation again after the device
comes out of Reset.
2: If an EXTR, SWR, WDTO, TRAPR, CM, or IOPUWR reset event occurs while an
RTSP erase or programming operation is in progress, the device will be Reset only
after the RTSP operation is complete.

USING THE RCON STATUS BITS
The user application can read the Reset Control register (RCON) after any device Reset to
determine the cause of the reset.
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.

SPECIAL FUNCTION REGISTER RESET STATES
Most of the Special Function Registers (SFRs) associated with the dsPIC33E/PIC24E CPU and
peripherals are reset to a particular value at a device Reset. The SFRs are grouped by their
peripheral or CPU function and their Reset values are specified in the appropriate sections of this
manual.
The Reset value for each SFR does not depend on the type of Reset, with the exception of seven
registers. The Reset value for the Reset Control register, RCON, will depend on the type of
device Reset. The Reset value for the Oscillator Control register, OSCCON, will depend on the
type of Reset and the programmed values of the oscillator configuration bits in the FOSC Device
Configuration register. In addition, the oscillator SFRs (OSCCON, CLKDIV, PLLFBD, OSCTUN,
ACLKCONx and ACLKDIVx) and Real-Time Clock and Calendar (RTCC) registers are reset only
at POR.

DESIGN TIPS
DS70602B-page 8-12
Question 1:
How do I use the RCON register?
Answer:
The initialization code after a device Reset should examine the RCON register
and confirm the source of the Reset. In certain applications, this information can
be used to take appropriate action to correct the problem that caused the Reset
to occur. All Reset status bits in the RCON register should be cleared after
reading them to ensure the RCON value will provide meaningful results after the
next device Reset.
Question 2:
The BOR module does not have the programmable trip points that my
application needs. How can I work around this?
Answer:
The BOR circuitry is used to avoid violation of the V/F specification of the device.
In many devices, the minimum voltage for full-speed operation is much higher
than in dsPIC33E/PIC24E devices. Therefore, in such devices, a programmable
BOR circuit is needed to provide the multiple speed option. However, the
dsPIC33E/PIC24E devices, support full-speed operation at a much lower
voltage, so the simple BOR module is enough. If the device operating voltage
drops to a value where full-speed operation is not possible, then BOR is asserted.
If the device is in a non-BOR state, then full-speed operation is valid.
Question 3:
I initialized a W register with a 16-bit address, but the device appears to
reset when I attempt to use the register as an address.
Answer:
Because all data addresses are 16-bit values, the uninitialized W register logic
only recognizes that a register has been initialized correctly if it was subjected to
a word load. Two-byte moves to a W register, even if successive, will not work,
resulting in a device Reset if the W register is used as an address pointer in an
operation.
