CHAPTER 25 OPTION BYTE 
25.1 Functions of Option Bytes 
Addresses 000C0H to 000C3H of the flash memory of the RL78/L12 form an option byte area. 
Option bytes consist of user option byte (000C0H to 000C2H) and on-chip debug option byte (000C3H). 
Upon power application or resetting and starting, an option byte is automatically referenced and a specified function is 
set. When using the product, be sure to set the following functions by using the option bytes. 
For the bits to which no function is allocated, be sure to set the value specified in this manual. 
25.1.1 User option byte (000C0H to 000C2H) 
(1) 000C0H 
 Operation of watchdog timer 
  • Operation is stopped or enabled in the HALT or STOP mode. 
 Setting of overflow time of watchdog timer 
 Operation of watchdog timer 
  • Operation is stopped or enabled. 
 Setting of window open period of watchdog timer 
 Setting of interval interrupt of watchdog timer 
  • Used or not used 
(2) 000C1H 
 Setting of LVD operation mode 
  • Interrupt & reset mode. 
  • Reset mode. 
  • Interrupt mode. 
  • LVD off (by controlling the externally input reset signal on the RESET pin) 
 Setting of LVD detection level (V
LVDH, VLVDL, VLVD) 
Caution After power is supplied, the reset state must be retained until the operating voltage becomes in the 
range defined in 30.4 or 31.4 AC Characteristics. This is done by utilizing the voltage detection circuit 
or controlling the externally input reset signal. After the power supply is turned off, this LSI should be 
placed in the STOP mode, or placed in the reset state by utilizing the voltage detection circuit or 
controlling the externally input reset signal, before the voltage falls below the operating range. The 
range of operating voltage varies with the setting of the user option byte (000C2H). 
(3) 000C2H 
 Setting of flash operation mode 
  • LV (low voltage main) mode 
  • LS (low speed main) mode 
  • HS (high speed main) mode 
 Setting of the frequency of the high-speed on-chip oscillator 
  • Select from 24 MHz/16 MHz/12 MHz/8 MHz/6 MHz/4 MHz/3 MHz/2 MHz/1 MHz (TYP.).
