There are several features intended to maximize sys-
tem reliability, minimize cost through elimination of
external components, provide power saving operating
modes and offer code protection. These are:
• OSC Selection
• Reset
• Interrupts
• Watchdog Timer (WDT)
• SLEEP
• Code protection
• ID locations
• In-circuit serial programming
These devices have a Watchdog Timer, which is per-
manently enabled via the configuration bits or software-
controlled. It runs off its own RC oscillator for added
reliability. There are 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 on power-
up only, designed to keep the part in reset while the
power supply stabilizes. With these two timers on-chip,
most applications need no external reset circuitry.

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 or
through an interrupt. Several oscillator options are also
made available to allow the part to fit the application.
The RC oscillator option saves system cost, while the
LP crystal option saves power. A set of configuration
bits are used to select various options.
18.1
The configuration bits can be programmed (read as '0')
or left unprogrammed (read as '1') to select various
device configurations. These bits are mapped starting
at program memory location 300000h.
The user will note that address 300000h is beyond the
user program memory space. In fact, it belongs to the
configuration memory space (300000h - 3FFFFFh),
which can only be accessed using table reads and
table writes.
