4.5 OPTION Register
The OPTION register is a 8-bit wide, write-only register,
which contains various control bits to configure the
Timer0/WDT prescaler and Timer0.
By executing the OPTION instruction, the contents of
the W register will be transferred to the OPTION regis-
ter. A Reset sets the OPTION<7:0> bits.
REGISTER 4-3: OPTION REGISTER (PIC12F508/509)
Note: If TRIS bit is set to ‘0’, the wake-up on
change and pull-up functions are disabled
for that pin (i.e., note that TRIS overrides
Option control of GPPU
/RBPU and
GPWU
/RBWU).
Note: If the T0CS bit is set to ‘1’, it will override
the TRIS function on the T0CKI pin.
