6.13. Reduced EMI Mode
The ALE signal is used to demultiplex address and data buses on port 0 when used with external 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.
