The PIC16F870/871 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 11-4. These bits are used in
software to determine the nature of the RESET. See
Table 11-6 for a full description of RESET states of all
registers.
A simplified block diagram of the On-Chip Reset Circuit
is shown in Figure 11-4.
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.
