CPU Product Overview
2
default WDT clock source is an internal RC circuit (isolated from the device clock
source).
Auto Reset/Low-Voltage Protection—All family devices have internal Power-On Reset.
ROM devices add low-voltage protection. Low-voltage protection ensures the MCU is in
a known state at all times (in active RUN or RESET modes) without external hardware (or
a device reset pin).
Low-EMI Operation—Mode is programmable via software or as a mask option. This new
option provides for reduced radiated emission via clock and output drive circuit changes.
Low-Power—CMOS with two standby modes; STOP and HALT.

Instruction Set—Forty-eight basic instructions, supported by six addressing
modes with the ability to operate on bits, nibbles, bytes, and words.
