15. Reduced EMI Mode
The ALE signal is used to demultiplex address and data buses on port 0 when used with exter-
nal program or data memory. Nevertheless, during internal code execution, ALE signal is still
generated. In order to reduce EMI, ALE signal can be disabled by setting AO bit.
The AO bit is located in AUXR register at bit location 0. As soon as AO is set, ALE is no longer
output but remains active during MOVX and MOVC instructions and external fetches. During
ALE disabling, ALE pin is weakly pulled high.
