I am trying to avoid the sleep mode on the PIC16C5X
to avoid extra external harware and the 18ms wake up period.
(In my design it causes a problem). I decided to use a two
speed RC oscillator. How low of a frequency can I operate the
PIC to simulate a sleep mode? Can I operate down to 1KHz with
3V for example to achieve comparable power reduction to sleep
mode? I would appreciate some advice. Thanks
