• Manufacturer Part Number: PIC12F609-I/PQTP
• Description: 8-Pin Flash-Based, 8-Bit CMOS Microcontrollers
• Manufacturer: MICROCHIP [Microchip Technology]

11.0
The PIC12F609/615/12HV609/615 has a host of
features intended to maximize system reliability,
minimize
components, provide power-saving features and offer
code protection.
These features are:
• Reset
• Interrupts
• Watchdog Timer (WDT)
• Oscillator selection
• Sleep
• Code protection
• ID Locations
• In-Circuit Serial Programming
The PIC12F609/615/12HV609/615 has two timers that
offer necessary delays on power-up. One is the
Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST), intended to keep the
chip in Reset until the crystal oscillator is stable. The
other is the Power-up Timer (PWRT), which provides a
fixed delay of 64 ms (nominal) on power-up only,
designed to keep the part in Reset while the power
supply stabilizes. There is also circuitry to reset the
device if a brown-out occurs, which can use the Power-
up Timer to provide at least a 64 ms Reset. With these
three functions-on-chip, most applications need no
external Reset circuitry.
The Sleep mode is designed to offer a very low-current
Power-Down mode. The user can wake-up from Sleep
through:
• External Reset
• Watchdog Timer Wake-up
• An interrupt
Several oscillator options are also made available to
allow the part to fit the application. The INTOSC option
saves system cost while the LP crystal option saves
power. A set of Configuration bits are used to select
various options (see Register 11-1).
