If PSC is programmed to 0, the *ESE register bits are stored in nonvolatile memory. The nonvolatile
memory has a finite maximum number of write cycles (see Supplemental Characteristics in appendix
A). Programs that repeatedly write to nonvolatile memory can eventually exceed the maximum
number of write cycles and may cause the memory to fail.
