Fuses Explained?!! Can anyone explain it?

[sgomes]

Hi,

I can't find information about fuses, what they do? how many ...
Is there a www link which we can find information about it?

For instance some fuses that I know, but don't know what they do:

LP,XT,HS,RC,NOWDT,WDT,NOPUT,PUT,PROTECT,PROTECT_5%
PROTECT_50%,NOPROTECT,NOBROWNOUT,BROWNOUT,LVP,NOLVP,CPD
NOCPD,WRT,NOWRT,DEBUG,NODEBUG

Anyone?

You may want to review the Microchip spec sheet for the respective processor....but,

WDT = Enable Watch Dog Timer.
NOWDT = Disable Watch Dog Timer.
PUT = Enable Power Up Timer,
NO PUT = Disable Power Up Timer,
NOPROTECT = Don't protect the code dumped into the PICC
NOBROWNOUT = Disable Brown Out Detect
BROWNOUT = Enable Brown Out Detect


Etc, etc, etc.......

Download the data sheet for your PIC from the Microchip website.
Choose it from the drop-down box on this page.
http://www.microchip.com/stellent/idcplg?IdcService=SS_GET_PAGE&nodeId=2046
Then look in the section called:

Special Features of the CPU
--- Configuration Bits

In some cases, you will have to make a judgement as
to how CCS has abbreviated or changed the true Config Bits
name when they created the #fuses name.

If you use PCW I allways look at "View -> Valid Fuses"
