USER'S GUIDE

Watchdog Timer

When the user's software is being executed, the Watch- dog Timer can be used to automatically restart the pro- cessor in the event that software control is lost. It is also used to generate an oscillator start±up delay to allow the clock frequency to stabilize. This occurs during reset cycles that follow a time in which the oscillator has been stopped (Stop Mode Reset and Power On Reset).

Resident Loader ROM

The Resident Loader ROM contains firmware that con- trols the initial loading of the nonvolatile Program/Data

RAM. The firmware provides Serial Bootstrap Load op- eration via the on±chip serial port. The internal ROM is not accessible by the user and performs the loading function only when the device is strapped for operation in the Program mode. The ROM becomes transparent to the user once loading is complete and has no effect on the memory map.
