You can put a 12c5xx part to sleep by executing the SLEEP instruction.
Then you can wake it up by toggling an I/O line. However, the data sheet
implies (but doesn't explicitly state) that the processor resumes
execution as though if a RESET occurred. Does anyone know for sure if this
is the case? BTW, this is different than the midrange and 18f series.
Those devices resume execution at the instruction immediately following
the SLEEP instruction.
