PIC16F785/HV785
2.2.2.2 OPTION_REG Register
The Option register is a readable and writable register,
which contains various control bits to configure the
TMR0/WDT prescaler, the external RA2/INT interrupt,
the TMR0 and the weak pull-ups on PORTA.
Note:
To achieve a 1:1 prescaler assignment for
TMR0, assign the prescaler to the WDT by
setting PSA bit to ‘1’ in the OPTION Reg-
ister. See Section 5.4 “Prescaler”.
