Bit 2 – IORET I/O Retention
Note:  This bit is not reset by a hibernate or backup reset. When the IORET feature is used, the
debugger access to the chip will not be allowed until the IORET bit is cleared after waking up from
hibernate or backup sleep. When the IORET is set in active mode, the PORT can still be controlled by
peripherals and the PORT registers. It is only when the device wakes up from hibernate or backup sleep
mode that the IORET= 1 will prevent the PORT from being controlled by the peripherals or PORT
registers. POR and BOD33 resets can clear the IORET bit.
