Reset redefines the SFRs but does not change the on-chip RAM. The reset should not be activated before VCC is restored to its normal operating level and must be held active long enough to allow the oscillator to restart and stabilize. Program Memory Lock Bits On the chip are three lock bits which can be left unpro- grammed (U) or can be programmed (P) to obtain the additional features listed in the table below. When lock bit 1 is programmed, the logic level at the EA pin is sampled and latched during reset. If the device is pow- ered up without a reset, the latch initializes to a random value, and holds that value until reset is activated. It is nec- Power-down Mode essary that the latched value of EA be in agreement with In the power-down mode, the oscillator is stopped, and the the current logic level at that pin in order for the device to instruction that invokes power-down is the last instruction function properly. executed.
