The BOR (Brown-out Reset) module is based on an
internal voltage reference circuit that monitors the
regulated supply voltage V
of the BOR module is to generate a device Reset when
a brown-out condition occurs. Brown-out conditions are
generally caused by glitches on the AC mains (i.e.,
missing portions of the AC cycle waveform due to bad
power transmission lines or voltage sags due to
excessive current draw when a large inductive load is
turned on).
A BOR will generate a Reset pulse which will reset the
device. The BOR will select the clock source, based on
the device Configuration bit values (FNOSC<2:0> and
POSCMD<1:0>). Furthermore, if an oscillator mode is
selected, the BOR will activate the Oscillator Start-up
Timer (OST). The system clock is held until OST
expires. If the PLL is used, then the clock will be held
until the LOCK bit (OSCCON<5>) is ‘1’.
Concurrently, the PWRT time-out (TPWRT) will be
applied before the internal Reset is released. If TPWRT
= 0 and a crystal oscillator is being used, then a
nominal delay of TFSCM = 100 is applied. The total
delay in this case is TFSCM.
The BOR Status bit (RCON<1>) will be set to indicate
that a BOR has occurred. The BOR circuit, if enabled,
continues to operate while in Sleep or Idle modes and
will reset the device should VDD fall below the BOR
threshold voltage.

For dsPIC33FJXXXMCX06/X08/X10 Motor Control
Family devices, the WDT is driven by the LPRC oscil-
lator. When the WDT is enabled, the clock source is
also enabled.
The nominal WDT clock source from LPRC is 32 kHz.
This feeds a prescaler than can be configured for either
5-bit (divide-by-32) or 7-bit (divide-by-128) operation.
The prescaler is set by the WDTPRE Configuration bit.
With a 32 kHz input, the prescaler yields a nominal
WDT time-out period (T
4 ms in 7-bit mode.
A variable postscaler divides down the WDT prescaler
output and allows for a wide range of time-out periods.
The postscaler is controlled by the WDTPOST<3:0>
Configuration bits (FWDT<3:0>) which allow the selec-
tion of a total of 16 settings, from 1:1 to 1:32,768. Using
the prescaler and postscaler, time-out periods ranging
from 1 ms to 131 seconds can be achieved.

The WDT, prescaler and postscaler are reset:
• On any device Reset
• On the completion of a clock switch, whether
• When a PWRSAV instruction is executed
• When the device exits Sleep or Idle mode to
• By a CLRWDT instruction during normal execution
If the WDT is enabled, it will continue to run during Sleep
or Idle modes. When the WDT time-out occurs, the
device will wake the device and code execution will con-
tinue from where the PWRSAV instruction was executed.
The corresponding SLEEP or IDLE bits (RCON<3,2>) will
need to be cleared in software after the device wakes up.
The WDT flag bit, WDTO (RCON<4>), is not automatically
cleared following a WDT time-out. To detect subsequent
WDT events, the flag must be cleared in software.
The WDT is enabled or disabled by the FWDTEN
Configuration bit in the FWDT Configuration register.
When the FWDTEN Configuration bit is set, the WDT is
always enabled.
The WDT can be optionally controlled in software when
the FWDTEN Configuration bit has been programmed
to ‘0’. The WDT is enabled in software by setting the
SWDTEN control bit (RCON<5>). The SWDTEN con-
trol bit is cleared on any device Reset. The software
WDT option allows the user to enable the WDT for crit-
ical code segments and disable the WDT during
non-critical segments for maximum power savings.

Note:
Note:
The CLRWDT and PWRSAV instructions
clear the prescaler and postscaler counts
when executed.
If the WINDIS bit (FWDT<6>) is cleared, the
CLRWDT instruction should be executed by
the application software only during the last
1/4 of the WDT period. This CLRWDT win-
dow can be determined by using a timer. If
a CLRWDT instruction is executed before
this window, a WDT Reset occurs.
