The 16C5X has no interrupts and only the watchdog timer can wake the chip. Its RC driven oscillator is subject to temprature and manfacturing variations. In other words only a guestimate. If you need precision sleep timing, take a look at the 16C6X series of chips. Multiple timers, interrupts, and awake on interrupt can give you better precision at not much more cost. BAJ
