A question taken by some hobbysts is: how to make working a PIC 16LFxxx with low voltage? The datasheet say that it accept a supply range from 2.0V to 5.5V, but many users note that with a crystal of 4MHz the PIC starts running only up to 4V.

The solution is simple, you must only reset the BODEN bit and reset the POR bit! This action, in CCS C compiler, is possible by writing the "NOBROWNOUT" condition at the "#FUSES" line.

In this way, you can find the PIC working with low voltages, just little than 2.0V
