15.3.1.1 Normal Monitor Mode
RST and OSC1 functions will be active on the PTA3 and PTA5 pins respectively as long as VTST is
applied to the IRQ pin. If the IRQ pin is lowered (no longer VTST) then the chip will still be operating in
monitor mode, but the pin functions will be determined by the settings in the configuration registers (see
BIL instructions will read the IRQ pin state only if IRQEN is set in the CONFIG2 register.
If monitor mode was entered with VTST on IRQ, then the COP is disabled as long as VTST is applied to
IRQ.
15.3.1.2 Forced Monitor Mode
If entering monitor mode without high voltage on IRQ, then startup port pin requirements and conditions,
(PTA1/PTA4) are not in effect. This is to reduce circuit requirements when performing in-circuit
programming.

——
1. PTA0 must have a pullup resistor to VDD in monitor mode.
2. Communication speed in the table is an example to obtain a baud rate of 9600. Baud rate using external oscillator is bus
frequency / 256 and baud rate using internal oscillator is bus frequency / 335.
3. External clock is a 9.8304 MHz oscillator on OSC1.
4. Lowering VTST once monitor mode is entered allows the clock source to be controlled by the OSCSC register.
5. X = don’t care
6. MON08 pin refers to P&E Microcomputer Systems’ MON08-Cyclone 2 by 8-pin connector.
