PIC16F913/914/916/917/946
2.2.2.2
OPTION register
Note:
To achieve a 1:1 prescaler assignment for
Timer0, assign the prescaler to the WDT by
setting PSA bit of the OPTION register to
‘1’. See Section 6.3 “Timer1 Prescaler”.
The OPTION register, shown in Register 2-2, is a
readable and writable register, which contains various
control bits to configure:
• Timer0/WDT prescaler
• External RB0/INT interrupt
• Timer0
• Weak pull-ups on PORTB
