The PIC16C55X(A) (Rev. A) parts you received con-
form functionally to the PIC16C55X(A) preliminary data
sheet (DS40143B), e xcept for the anomalies described
below.
• Module:
Reset
• Description:
Power-up Timer stays enabled regardless of the
PWRTE setting (bit 3 of configuration word).
• Workaround:
Clear reserved bit 6 of the configur ation w ord to 0
during programming. In the MPLAB™ program-
mer window , this bit is listed as Bro wn Out Detect.
This will allow PWRTE to function correctly.

Clarifications/Corrections to the Data Sheet:
The PIC16C55X(A) Data Sheet (DS40143B), Table 7-
2, calls out the incorrect crystals for the use with our
PICmicros™. The table updated below lists the stan-
dard parallel cut versions.

Higher capacitance increases the stability of the oscillator but also increases the start-up time. These values are f or design guidance
only. Rs may be required in HS mode as well as XT mode to avoid overdriving crystals with low drive level specification. Since each
crystal has its own characteristics, the user should consult the crystal manufacturer for appropriate values of external components.

Microchip received QS-9000 quality system
certification for its worldwide headquarters,
design and wafer fabrication facilities in
Chandler and Tempe, Arizona in July 1999. The
Company’s quality system processes and
procedures are QS-9000 compliant for its
PICmicro® 8-bit MCUs, KEELOQ® code ho pp in g
devices, Serial EEPROMs and microperipheral
products. In addition, Microchip’s quality
system for the design and manufacture of
development systems is ISO 9001 certified.
Note the following details of the code protection feature on PICmicro® MCUs.
•The PICmicro family meets the specifications contained in the Microchip Data Sheet.
•Microchip believes that its family of PICmicro microcontrollers is one of the most secure products of its kind on the market today,
when used in the intended manner and under normal conditions.
•There are dishonest and possibly illegal methods used to breach the code protection feature. All of these methods, to our knowl-
edge, require using the PICmicro microcontroller in a manner outside the operating specifications contained in the data sheet.
The person doing so may be engaged in theft of intellectual property.
•Microchip is willing to work with the customer who is concerned about the integrity of their code.
•Neither Microchip nor any other semiconductor manufacturer can guarantee the security of their code. Code protection does not
mean that we are guaranteeing the product as “unbreakable”.
•Code protection is constantly evolving. We at Microchip are committed to continuously improving the code protection features of
our product.
