Operation
Option Bit Configuration By Reset
Each time the Flash Option Bits are programmed or erased, the device must be Reset for
the change to take effect. During any reset operation (System Reset, system reset, or STOP
Mode Recovery), the Flash Option Bits are automatically read from the Flash Program
Memory and written to Option Configuration registers. The Option Configuration regis-
ters control operation of the devices within the Z8 Encore! XP® F08xA Series. Option Bit
control is established before the device exits Reset and the eZ8 CPU begins code execu-
tion. The Option Configuration registers are not part of the Register File and are not acces-
sible for read or write access.
