Model-specific configuration registers Placement of configuration values "~" means the bit is a negated boolean. Sometimes values overlap, depending on MCU model. In STC12A series, the first 4 MCS bytes have active values. Generally, unused bits should be set to 1. MCS0 ---- MSB 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 LSB CLKSRC CLKSRC := clock source (0 = internal RC, 1 = external crystal) MCS1 ---- MSB 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 LSB ~WDEN ~WDSTP WDPS2 WDPS1 WDPS0 ~WDEN := watchdog enable after power-on-reset ~WDSTP := stop watchdog counter in idle mode WDPS2 WDPS1 WDPS0 divisior 0 0 0 2 0 0 1 4 0 1 0 8 0 1 1 16 1 0 0 32 1 0 1 64 1 1 0 128 1 1 1 256 MCS2 ---- MSB 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 LSB ~EERE ~BSLD ~EREE := enable eeprom erase next time MCU is programmed ~BSLD := enable BSL pin detect; i.e. BSL is only enabled if P1.0/P1.1 (or others, depends on MCU model) are held low on POR. MCS3 ---- Unused. MCS4 ---- MSB 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 LSB LVD LVD := low voltage detection threshold LVD threshold 0 3.7V 1 3.3V
