Legend:

R = Readable bit W = Writable bit U = Unimplemented bit, read as ‘0’

u = Bit is unchanged x = Bit is unknown -n/n = Value at POR and BOR/Value at all other Resets

‘1’ = Bit is set ‘0’ = Bit is cleared q = unchanged

bit 7-2 Unimplemented: Read as ‘0’

bit 1 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)

bit 0 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 Brown-out Reset occurs)
