11.0 SPECIAL FEATURES OF THE

CPU

The PIC16F688 has a host of features intended to

maximize system reliability, minimize cost through

elimination of external components, provide

power-saving features and offer code protection.

These features are:

• Reset

- Power-on Reset (POR)

- Power-up Timer (PWRT)

- Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST)

- Brown-out Reset (BOR)

• Interrupts

• Watchdog Timer (WDT)

• Oscillator Selection

• Sleep

• Code Protection

• ID Locations

• In-Circuit Serial Programming™

PIC16F688

The PIC16F688 has 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

of 64 ms (nominal) on power-up only, designed to

keep the part in Reset while the power supply

stabilizes. There is also circuitry to reset the device if

a brown-out occurs, which can use the Power-up

Timer to provide at least a 64 ms Reset. With these

three functions-on-chip, most applications need no

external Reset circuitry.

The 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

• An interrupt

Several oscillator options are also made available to

allow the part to fit the application. The INTOSC option

saves system cost while the LP crystal option saves

power. A set of Configuration bits are used to select

various options (see Register 11-1).
