PIC16F87XA
2.2.2.2
OPTION_REG 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 prescaler/WDT postscaler (single assign-
able register known also as the prescaler), the External
INT Interrupt, TMR0 and the weak pull-ups on PORTB.

INTEDG: Interrupt Edge Select bit
1= Interrupt on rising edge of RB0/INT pin
0= Interrupt on falling edge of RB0/INT pin
T0CS: TMR0 Clock Source Select bit
1= Transition on RA4/T0CKI pin
0= Internal instruction cycle clock (CLKOUT)
T0SE: TMR0 Source Edge Select bit
1= Increment on high-to-low transition on RA4/T0CKI pin
0= Increment on low-to-high transition on RA4/T0CKI pin
PSA: Prescaler Assignment bit

Legend:
R = Readable bit
W = Writable bit
’1’ = Bit is set
U = Unimplemented bit, read as ‘0’
’0’ = Bit is cleared x = Bit is unknown
- n = Value at POR
Note: When using low voltage ICSP programming (LVP) and the pull-ups on PORTB are
enabled, bit 3 in the TRISB register must be cleared to disable the pull-up on RB3
and ensure the proper operation of the device
