1.4 Programmable Options
These options are programmable in the mask option registers:
• Enabling of port B pullup devices (see 9.5.2 Mask Option
Register 1)
• Enabling of non-programmable COP watchdog (see 9.5.3 Mask
Option Register 2)
These options are programmable in the option register (shown in
Figure 1-1):
• PROM security(1)
• External interrupt sensitivity

SEC — Security Bit
This bit is implemented as an EPROM cell and is not affected by
reset.
1 = Bootloader disabled; MCU operates only in single-chip mode.
0 = Security off; bootloader can be enabled.
1. No security feature is absolutely secure. However, Motorola’s strategy is to make reading or
copying the PROM difficult for unauthorized users.
