PIC16C63A/65B/73B/74B
4.2.2.2
OPTION Register
Note: To achieve a 1:1 prescaler assignment for
the TMR0 register, assign the prescaler to
the watchdog timer.
The OPTION_REG register is a readable and writable
register, which contains various control bits to configure
the TMR0/WDT prescaler, the external INT Interrupt,
TMR0 and the weak pull-ups on PORTB.
