Nap

puts the controller to sleep for a period of 18 milliseconds to 2.3 seconds.

The PIC has the built-in capability to turn itself off, reducing current draw to 3 µA (other than any loads driven by I/O pins). Even short naps at this reduced current draw can extend battery life tremendously. To use Nap, put the length of nap desired (0 to 7) into w and call the subroutine. Nap sets bit 3 of w to assign the prescaler to the watchdog timer, and then writes w to the option register. The routine then puts the PIC to sleep.

Later, when the watchdog times out, the PIC resets. It jumps to start (specified to execute when the PIC comes out of reset by the reset directive). Code in start figures out the cause of the reset by examining the timeout (to) and power-down (pd) bits of the status register. If the reset was caused by a watchdog timeout awakening the PIC out of sleep (to = 0, pd = 0), a ret is executed, returning the program to the line following call Nap.

As you can see from the example listing, napping requires more than just the subroutine to work. The device directive must include wdt_on to enable the watchdog timer. The code at the beginning of the program must examine the to and pd bits and decide what to do. And, although it's not shown in the example, the program must clear the watchdog timer (clr wdt) frequently enough to prevent it from interrupting the running program. How frequently depends on the value in the prescaler and whether or not the rest of the program uses the prescaler with the RTCC.

The safest answer is to clear the watchdog at least every 9 ms. Then, no matter how the option register is set up or what the actual speed of the watchdog's oscillator is, the wdt will never overflow. Another issue concerns what to do about the wdt-invoked reset and its effect on the I/O pins. During a reset, all pins are set to input. If the PIC is driving a load during its nap, there will be a brief glitch as the TRIS registers are reset. It is probably best not to drive loads directly during naps, but to rely on pullup or pulldown resistors to do the job instead.

Finally, remember that all computed jumps and called subroutines must be in the first 256 words of a program-memory page. In this case, that would include both Nap and the decision-making code in start.

Demonstrating Nap.

To see Nap in operation, connect the circuit below to an erasable PIC or PIC emulator, such as the Parallax downloader. Assemble and run NAP.SRC. When you apply power to the PIC, the LED will toggle at a rate corresponding to the nap period; slightly more than a second. Try changing the value passed to Nap (in the routine main) to adjust the flashing rate.
