Power Supply Pins

GUIDELINES FOR GETTING  
STARTED WITH  
PIC16(L)F183XX  
2.2.1  
DECOUPLING CAPACITORS  
The use of decoupling capacitors on every pair of  
power supply pins (VDD and VSS) is required. All VDD  
and VSS pins must be connected. None can be left  
floating.  
MICROCONTROLLERS  
2.1  
Basic Connection Requirements  
Consider the following criteria when using decoupling  
capacitors:  
Getting started with the PIC16(L)F183XX family of 8-bit  
microcontrollers requires attention to a minimal set of  
device pin connections before proceeding with  
development.  
Value and type of capacitor: A 0.1 µF (100 nF),  
10-25V capacitor is recommended. The capacitor  
should be a low-ESR device, with a resonance  
frequency in the range of 200 MHz and higher.  
Ceramic capacitors are recommended.  
Placement on the printed circuit board: The  
decoupling capacitors should be placed as close  
to the pins as possible. It is recommended to  
place the capacitors on the same side of the  
board as the device. If space is constricted, the  
capacitor can be placed on another layer on the  
PCB using a via; however, ensure that the trace  
length from the pin to the capacitor is no greater  
than 0.25 inch (6 mm).  
Handling high-frequency noise: If the board is  
experiencing high-frequency noise (upward of  
tens of MHz), add a second ceramic type  
capacitor in parallel to the above described  
decoupling capacitor. The value of the second  
capacitor can be in the range of 0.01 µF to  
0.001 µF. Place this second capacitor next to  
each primary decoupling capacitor. In high-speed  
circuit designs, consider implementing a decade  
pair of capacitances as close to the power and  
ground pins as possible (e.g., 0.1 µF in parallel  
with 0.001 µF).  
Maximizing performance: On the board layout  
from the power supply circuit, run the power and  
return traces to the decoupling capacitors first,  
and then to the device pins. This ensures that the  
decoupling capacitors are first in the power chain.  
Equally important is to keep the trace length  
between the capacitor and the power pins to a  
The following pins must always be connected:  
• All VDD and VSS pins  
(see Section 2.2 “Power Supply Pins”)  
• MCLR pin (when configured for external  
operation)  
(see Section 2.3 “Master Clear (MCLR) Pin”)  
These pins must also be connected if they are being  
used in the end application:  
• ICSPCLK/ICSPDAT pins used for In-Circuit Serial  
Programming™  
(ICSP™)  
and  
debugging  
purposes (see Section 2.4 “ICSP™ Pins”)  
• OSC1 and OSC2 pins when an external oscillator  
source is used  
(see Section 2.5 “External Oscillator Pins”)  
Additionally, the following pins may be required:  
• VREF+/VREF- pins are used when external voltage  
reference for analog modules is implemented  
The minimum mandatory connections are shown in  
Figure 2-1.

2.2.2  
TANK CAPACITORS  
VSS  
On boards with power traces running longer than six  
inches in length, it is suggested to use a tank capacitor  
for integrated circuits, including microcontrollers, to  
supply a local power source. The value of the tank  
capacitor should be determined based on the trace  
resistance that connects the power supply source to  
the device, and the maximum current drawn by the  
device in the application. In other words, select the tank  
capacitor so that it meets the acceptable voltage sag at  
the device. Typical values range from 4.7 µF to 47 µF.  
Key (all values are recommendations):  
C1 and C2: 0.1 PF, V ceramic

R1: 10 kȍ  
R2: 100ȍ to 470ȍ

MCLR pin does not have a weak pull-up.

2.3  
Master Clear (MCLR) Pin  
2.4  
ICSP™ Pins  
The MCLR pin provides three specific device functions:  
The ICSPCLK and ICSPDAT pins are used for  
In-Circuit Serial Programming™ (ICSP™) and  
debugging purposes. It is recommended to keep the  
trace length between the ICSP connector and the ICSP  
pins on the device as short as possible. If the ICSP  
connector is expected to experience an ESD event, a  
series resistor is recommended, with the value in the  
range of a few tens of ohms, not to exceed 100.  
• Device Reset (when MCLRE = 1)  
• Digital input pin (when MCLRE = 0)  
• Device Programming and Debugging  
If programming and debugging are not required in the  
end application then either set the MCLRE  
Configuration bit to ‘1’ and use the pin as a digital input  
or clear the MCLRE Configuration bit and leave the pin  
open to use the internal weak pull-up. The addition of  
other components, to help increase the application’s  
resistance to spurious Resets from voltage sags, may  
be beneficial. A typical configuration is shown in  
Figure 2-1. Other circuit designs may be implemented,  
depending on the application’s requirements.  
Pull-up resistors, series diodes and capacitors on the  
ICSPCLK and ICSPDAT pins are not recommended as  
they will interfere with the programmer/debugger  
communications to the device. If such discrete  
components are an application requirement, they  
should be isolated from the programmer by resistors  
between the application and the device pins or  
removed from the circuit during programming.  
Alternatively, refer to the AC/DC characteristics and  
timing requirements information in the respective  
device Flash programming specification for information  
on capacitive loading limits, and pin input voltage high  
(VIH) and input low (VIL) requirements.  
During programming and debugging, the resistance  
and capacitance that can be added to the pin must be  
considered. Device programmers and debuggers drive  
the MCLR pin. Consequently, specific voltage levels  
(VIH and VIL) and fast signal transitions must not be  
adversely affected. Therefore, the programmer  
MCLR/VPP output should be connected directly to the  
pin so that R1 isolates the capacitor, C1 from the MCLR  
pin during programming and debugging operations.  
For device emulation, ensure that the “Communication  
Channel Select” (i.e., ICSPCLK/ICSPDAT pins),  
programmed into the device, matches the physical  
connections for the ICSP to the Microchip debugger/  
emulator tool.  
Any components associated with the MCLR pin should  
be placed within 0.25 inch (6 mm) of the pin.  
For more information on available Microchip  
development tools connection requirements, refer to  
Section 37.0 “Development Support”.

(refer to  
Section 7.0 “Oscillator Module” for details).  
The oscillator circuit should be placed on the same side  
of the board as the device. Place the oscillator circuit  
close to the respective oscillator pins with no more than  
0.5 inch (12 mm) between the circuit components and  
the pins. The load capacitors should be placed next to  
the oscillator itself, on the same side of the board.

PLACEMENT OF THE

Single-Sided and In-Line Layouts:  
Use a grounded copper pour around the oscillator  
circuit to isolate it from surrounding circuits. The  
grounded copper pour should be routed directly to the  
MCU ground. Do not run any signal traces or power  
traces inside the ground pour. Also, if using a two-sided  
board, avoid any traces on the other side of the board  
where the crystal is placed.

Layout suggestions are shown in Figure 2-2. In-line

that completely encompasses the oscillator pins. With  
fine-pitch packages, it is not always possible to  
completely surround the pins and components. A  
suitable solution is to tie the broken guard sections to a  
mirrored ground layer. In all cases, the guard trace(s)  
must be returned to ground.

Automatic Interrupt Context  
Saving  
During interrupts, certain registers are automatically  
saved in shadow registers and restored when returning  
from the interrupt. This saves stack space and user  
code. See Section 8.5 “Automatic Context Saving”  
for more information.  
3.2  
16-Level Stack with Overflow and  
Underflow  
These devices have a hardware stack memory 15 bits  
wide and 16 words deep. A Stack Overflow or  
Underflow will set the appropriate bit (STKOVF or  
STKUNF) in the PCON register, and if enabled, will  
cause a software Reset. See Section 4.4 “Stack” for  
more details.  
3.3  
File Select Registers  
There are two 16-bit File Select Registers (FSR). FSRs  
can access all file registers, program memory, and data  
EEPROM, which allows one Data Pointer for all mem-  
ory. When an FSR points to program memory, there is  
one additional instruction cycle in instructions using  
INDF to allow the data to be fetched. General purpose  
memory can now also be addressed linearly, providing  
the ability to access contiguous data larger than 80  
bytes. There are also new instructions to support the  
FSRs. See Section 4.5 “Indirect Addressing” for  
more details.  
3.4  
Instruction Set  
There are 48 instructions for the enhanced mid-range  
CPU to support the features of the CPU. See

NVMREG Access  
7Fh  
The NVMREG interface allows read/write access to all  
locations accessible by the FSRs, User ID locations,  
and EEPROM. The NVMREG interface also provides  
read-only access to Device ID, Revision ID, and  
Configuration data. See Section 11.4 “NVMREG  
Access” for more information.  
4.2.2  
CORE REGISTERS  
The core registers contain the registers that directly  
affect basic operation. The core registers occupy the  
first 12 addresses of every data memory bank  
(addresses x00h/x80h through x0Bh/x8Bh). These  
registers are listed below in Table 4-2. For detailed  
information, see Table 4-4.  
4.2  
Data Memory Organization  
The data memory is partitioned into 32 memory banks  
with 128 bytes in each bank. Each bank consists of  
(Figure 4-2):

4.2.1  
BANK SELECTION  
The active bank is selected by writing the bank number  
into the Bank Select Register (BSR). Unimplemented  
memory will read as ‘0’. All data memory can be  
accessed either directly (via instructions that use the  
file registers) or indirectly via the two File Select  
Registers (FSR). See Section 4.5 “Indirect  
Addressing”for more information.

PIC16(L)F18326/18346  
For example, CLRF STATUSwill clear the upper three  
bits and set the Z bit. This leaves the STATUS register  
as ‘000u u1uu’ (where u= unchanged).  
4.2.2.1  
STATUS Register  
The STATUS register, shown in Register 4-1, contains:  
• The arithmetic status of the ALU  
• The Reset status  
It is recommended, therefore, that only BCF, BSF,  
SWAPF and MOVWF instructions are used to alter the  
STATUS register, because these instructions do not  
affect any Status bits. For other instructions not  
affecting any Status bits (Refer to Section 4.0  
“Memory Organization”).  
The STATUS register can be the destination for any  
instruction, like any other register. If the STATUS  
register is the destination for an instruction that affects  
the Z, DC or C bits, then the write to these three bits is  
disabled. These bits are set or cleared according to the  
device logic. Furthermore, the TO and PD bits are not  
writable. Therefore, the result of an instruction with the  
STATUS register as destination may be different than  
intended.  
Note 1: The C and DC bits operate as Borrow  
and Digit Borrow out bits, respectively, in  
subtraction.

0= No carry-out from the Most Significant bit of the result occurred  
Note 1: For Borrow, the polarity is reversed. A subtraction is executed by adding the two’s complement of the  
second operand. For rotate (RRF, RLF) instructions, this bit is loaded with either the high-order or low-order  
bit of the source register.

SPECIAL FUNCTION REGISTERS  
4.2.4  
GENERAL PURPOSE RAM  
The Special Function Registers are registers used by  
the application to control the desired operation of  
peripheral functions in the device. The Special Function  
Registers occupy the 20 bytes after the core registers of  
every data memory bank (addresses x0Ch/x8Ch  
through x1Fh/x9Fh), with the exception of banks 27, 28,  
and 29 (PPS and CLC registers). The registers  
associated with the operation of the peripherals are  
described in the appropriate peripheral chapter of this  
data sheet.  
There are up to 80 bytes of GPR in each data memory  
bank. The general purpose RAM can be accessed in a  
non-banked method via the FSRs. This can simplify  
access to large memory structures. See Section 4.5.2  
“Linear Data Memory” for more information.  
4.2.5  
COMMON RAM  
There are 16 bytes of common RAM accessible from all  
banks.

COMPUTED GOTO  
4.3  
PCL and PCLATH  
A computed GOTOis accomplished by adding an offset to  
the program counter (ADDWF PCL). When performing a  
table read using a computed GOTOmethod, care should  
be exercised if the table location crosses a PCL memory  
boundary (each 256-byte block). Refer to Application  
Note AN556, Implementing a Table Read (DS00556).  
The Program Counter (PC) is 15 bits wide. The low byte  
comes from the PCL register, which is a readable and  
writable register. The high byte (PC<14:8>) is not directly  
readable or writable and comes from PCLATH. On any  
Reset, the PC is cleared. Figure 4-3 shows the five  
situations for the loading of the PC.  
4.3.3  
COMPUTED FUNCTION CALLS  
FIGURE 4-3:  
LOADING OF PC IN  
A computed function CALLallows programs to maintain  
tables of functions and provide another way to execute  
state machines or look-up tables. When performing a  
table read using a computed function CALL, care  
should be exercised if the table location crosses a PCL  
memory boundary (each 256-byte block).

The branching instructions add an offset to the PC.  
This allows relocatable code and code that crosses  
page boundaries. There are two forms of branching,  
BRW and BRA. The PC will have incremented to fetch  
the next instruction in both cases. When using either  
branching instruction, a PCL memory boundary may be  
crossed.

If using BRA, the entire PC will be loaded with

4.3.1  
MODIFYING PCL  
Executing any instruction with the PCL register as the  
destination simultaneously causes the Program  
Counter PC<14:8> bits (PCH) to be replaced by the  
contents of the PCLATH register. This allows the entire  
contents of the program counter to be changed by  
writing the desired upper seven bits to the PCLATH  
register. When the lower eight bits are written to the  
PCL register, all 15 bits of the program counter will  
change to the values contained in the PCLATH register  
and those being written to the PCL register.

4.4.1  
ACCESSING THE STACK  
4.4  
Stack  
The stack is accessible through the TOSH, TOSL and  
STKPTR registers. STKPTR is the current value of the  
Stack Pointer. TOSH:TOSL register pair points to the  
TOP of the stack. Both registers are read/writable. TOS  
is split into TOSH and TOSL due to the 15-bit size of the  
PC. To access the stack, adjust the value of STKPTR,  
which will position TOSH:TOSL, then read/write to  
TOSH:TOSL. STKPTR is five bits to allow detection of  
Overflow and Underflow.  
All devices have a 16-level x 15-bit wide hardware  
stack (refer to Figure 4-4 through Figure 4-7). The  
stack space is not part of either program or data space.  
The PC is PUSHed onto the stack when CALL or  
CALLWinstructions are executed or an interrupt causes  
a branch. The stack is POPed in the event of a  
RETURN, RETLW or a RETFIE instruction execution.  
PCLATH is not affected by a PUSH or POP operation.  
The stack operates as a circular buffer and does not  
cause a Reset when either a Stack Overflow or  
Underflow occur if the STVREN bit is programmed to  
0‘ (Configuration Words). This means that after the  
stack has been PUSHed sixteen times, the  
seventeenth PUSH overwrites the value that was  
stored from the first PUSH. The eighteenth PUSH  
overwrites the second PUSH (and so on). The  
STKOVF and STKUNF flag bits will be set on an  
Overflow/Underflow, regardless of whether the Reset is  
enabled.  
Note:  
Care should be taken when modifying the  
STKPTR while interrupts are enabled.  
During normal program operation, CALL, CALLWand  
Interrupts will increment STKPTR while RETLW,  
RETURN, and RETFIEwill decrement STKPTR. At any  
time, STKPTR can be read to see how much stack is  
left. The STKPTR always points at the currently used  
place on the stack. Therefore, a CALL or CALLW will  
increment the STKPTR and then write the PC, and a  
return will unload the PC and then decrement the  
STKPTR.  
If the STVREN bit in Configuration Words is  
programmed to ‘1’, the device will be Reset if the stack  
is PUSHed beyond the sixteenth level or POPed  
beyond the first level, setting the appropriate bits  
(STKOVF or STKUNF, respectively) in the PCON  
register.  
Reference Figure 4-4 through Figure 4-7 for examples  
of accessing the stack.  
Note 1: There are no instructions/mnemonics  
called PUSH or POP. These are actions  
that occur from the execution of the  
CALL, CALLW, RETURN, RETLW and  
RETFIE instructions or the vectoring to  
an interrupt address.

TRADITIONAL/BANKED DATA  
MEMORY

Indirect Addressing  
The INDFn registers are not physical registers. Any  
instruction that accesses an INDFn register actually  
accesses the register at the address specified by the  
File Select Registers (FSR). If the FSRn address  
specifies one of the two INDFn registers, the read will  
return ‘0’ and the write will not occur (though Status bits  
may be affected). The FSRn register value is created  
by the pair FSRnH and FSRnL.  
The traditional data memory is a region from FSR  
address 0x000 to FSR address 0xFFF. The addresses  
correspond to the absolute addresses of all SFR, GPR  
and common registers.  
The FSR registers form a 16-bit address that allows an  
addressing space with 65536 locations. These locations  
are divided into four memory regions:  
• Traditional/Banked Data Memory  
• Linear Data Memory  
• Program Flash Memory  
• EEPROM

LINEAR DATA MEMORY  
4.5.4  
PROGRAM FLASH MEMORY  
The linear data memory is the region from FSR  
address 0x2000 to FSR address 0x29AF. This region is  
a virtual region that points back to the 80-byte blocks of  
GPR memory in all the banks.  
To make constant data access easier, the entire  
Program Flash Memory is mapped to the upper half of  
the FSR address space. When the MSB of FSRnH is  
set, the lower 15 bits are the address in program  
memory which will be accessed through INDF. Only the  
lower eight bits of each memory location are accessible  
via INDF. Writing to the Program Flash Memory cannot  
be accomplished via the FSR/INDF interface. All  
instructions that access Program Flash Memory via the  
FSR/INDF interface will require one additional  
instruction cycle to complete.  
Unimplemented memory reads as 0x00. Use of the  
linear data memory region allows buffers to be larger  
than 80 bytes because incrementing the FSR beyond  
one bank will go directly to the GPR memory of the next  
bank.  
The 16 bytes of common memory are not included in  
the linear data memory region.

DATA EEPROM MEMORY  
The EEPROM memory can be read or written through  
the NVMCON register interface (see Section 11.2  
“Data EEPROM”). However, to make access to the  
EEPROM easier, read-only access to the EEPROM  
contents are also available through indirect addressing  
via an FSR. When the MSP of the FSR (ex: FSRxH) is  
set to 0x70, the lower 8-bit address value (in FSRxL)  
determines the EEPROM location that may be read via  
the INDF register). In other words, the EEPROM  
address range 0x00-0xFF is mapped into the FSR  
address space between 0x7000 and 0x70FF. Writing to  
the EEPROM cannot be accomplished via the  
FSR/INDF interface. Reads from the EEPROM through  
the FSR/INDF interface will require one additional  
instruction cycle to complete.

DEVICE CONFIGURATION  
Device configuration consists of Configuration Words,  
Code Protection and Device ID.  
5.1  
Configuration Words  
There are several Configuration Word bits that allow  
different oscillator and memory protection options.  
These are implemented as Configuration Word 1 at  
8007h, Configuration Word 2 at 8008h, Configuration  
Word 3 at 8009h, and Configuration Word 4 at 800Ah.  
Note:  
The DEBUG bit in Configuration Words is  
managed automatically by device  
development tools including debuggers  
and programmers. For normal device  
operation, this bit should be maintained as  
a ‘1’.

5.3  
Code Protection  
5.6  
Device ID and Revision ID  
Code protection allows the device to be protected from  
unauthorized access. Program memory protection and  
data memory are controlled independently. Internal  
access to the program memory is unaffected by any  
code protection setting.  
The 14-bit Device ID word is located at 8006h and the  
14-bit Revision ID is located at 8005h. These locations  
are read-only and cannot be erased or modified. See  
Section 11.4 “NVMREG Access” for more  
information on accessing these memory locations.  
Development tools, such as device programmers and  
debuggers, may be used to read the Device ID and  
Revision ID.  
5.3.1  
PROGRAM MEMORY PROTECTION  
The entire program memory space is protected from  
external reads and writes by the CP bit in Configuration  
Words. When CP = 0, external reads and writes of  
program memory are inhibited and a read will return all  
0’s. The CPU can continue to read program memory,  
regardless of the protection bit settings. Self-write  
writing the program memory is dependent upon the  
write protection setting. See Section 5.4 “Write  
Protection” for more information.  
5.3.2  
DATA MEMORY PROTECTION  
The entire data EEPROM is protected from external  
reads and writes by the CPD bit in the Configuration  
Words. When CPD = 0, external reads and writes of  
EEPROM memory are inhibited and a read will return  
all ‘0’s. The CPU can continue to read and write  
EEPROM memory, regardless of the protection bit  
settings.  
5.4  
Write Protection  
Write protection allows the device to be protected from  
unintended self-writes. Applications, such as boot  
loader software, can be protected while allowing other  
regions of the program memory to be modified.  
The WRT<1:0> bits in Configuration Words define the  
size of the program memory block that is protected.  
5.5  
User ID  
Four memory locations (8000h-8003h) are designated  
as ID locations where the user can store checksum or  
other code identification numbers. These locations are  
readable and writable during normal execution. See  
Section 11.4.7 “NVMREG EEPROM, User ID, Device  
ID and Configuration Word Access” for more  
information on accessing these memory locations. For  
more information on checksum calculation, see the  
“PIC16(L)F183XX

RESETS  
There are multiple ways to reset this device:  
• Power-On Reset (POR)  
• Brown-Out Reset (BOR)  
• Low-Power Brown-Out Reset (LPBOR)  
• MCLR Reset  
• WDT Reset  
RESETinstruction  
• Stack Overflow  
• Stack Underflow  
• Programming mode exit  
To allow VDD to stabilize, an optional Power-up Timer  
can be enabled to extend the Reset time after a BOR  
or POR event.  
A simplified block diagram of the on-chip Reset circuit  
is shown in Figure 6-1.

6.1  
Power-on Reset (POR)  
The POR circuit holds the device in Reset until VDD has  
reached an acceptable level for minimum operation.  
Slow rising VDD, fast operating speeds or analog  
performance may require greater than minimum VDD.  
The PWRT, BOR or MCLR features can be used to  
extend the start-up period until all device operation  
conditions have been met.  
6.2  
Brown-out Reset (BOR)  
The BOR circuit holds the device in Reset while VDD is  
below a selectable minimum level. Between the POR  
and BOR, complete voltage range coverage for execu-  
tion protection can be implemented.  
The Brown-out Reset module has four operating  
modes controlled by the BOREN<1:0> bits in  
Configuration Words. The four operating modes are:  
• BOR is always on  
• BOR is off when in Sleep  
• BOR is controlled by software  
• BOR is always off  
Refer to Table 6-1 for more information.  
The Brown-out Reset voltage level is selectable by  
configuring the BORV bit in Configuration Words.  
A VDD noise rejection filter prevents the BOR from  
triggering on small events. If VDD falls below VBOR for  
a duration greater than parameter TBORDC, the device  
will reset, and the BOR bit of the PCON0 register will  
be cleared, indicating that a Brown-out Reset condition  
occurred. See Figure 6-2 for more information.

6.2.1  
BOR IS ALWAYS ON  
6.2.3  
BOR CONTROLLED BY SOFTWARE  
When the BOREN bits of Configuration Words are  
programmed to ‘11’, the BOR is always on. The device  
start-up will be delayed until the BOR is ready and VDD  
is higher than the BOR threshold.  
When the BOREN bits of Configuration Words are  
programmed to ‘01’, the BOR is controlled by the  
SBOREN bit of the BORCON register. The device  
wake from Sleep is not delayed by the BOR Ready  
condition or the VDD level only when the SBOREN bit  
is cleared in software and the device is starting up from  
a non POR/BOR Reset event.  
BOR protection is active during Sleep. The BOR does  
not delay wake-up from Sleep.  
6.2.2  
BOR IS OFF IN SLEEP  
BOR protection begins as soon as the BOR circuit is  
ready. The status of the BOR circuit is reflected in the  
BORRDY bit of the BORCON register. BOR Protection  
is unchanged by Sleep  
When the BOREN bits of Configuration Words are  
programmed to ‘10’, the BOR is on, except in Sleep.  
The device start-up will be delayed until the BOR is  
ready and VDD is higher than the BOR threshold.  
BOR protection is not active during Sleep, but device  
wake-up will be delayed until the BOR can determine  
that VDD is higher than the BOR threshold. The device  
wake-up will be delayed until the BOR is ready.

The device has a noise filter in the MCLR Reset path.  
The filter will detect and ignore small pulses.  
6.3  
Low-Power Brown-out Reset  
(LPBOR)  
Note:  
A Reset does not drive the MCLR pin low.  
The Low-Power Brown-Out Reset (LPBOR) circuit  
provides alternative protection against Brown-out  
conditions. When VDD falls below the LPBOR  
threshold, the device is held in Reset. When this  
occurs, the BOR bit of the PCON0 register is cleared to  
indicate that a Brown-out Reset occurred. The BOR bit  
will be cleared when either the BOR or the LPBOR  
circuitry detects a BOR condition. The LPBOR feature  
can be used with or without BOR enabled.  
6.4.2  
MCLR DISABLED  
When MCLR is disabled, the pin functions as a general  
purpose input and the internal weak pull-up is under  
software control. See Section 12.2 “PORTA  
Registers” for more information.  
6.5  
Watchdog Timer (WDT) Reset  
When used while BOR is enabled, the LPBOR can be  
used as a secondary protection circuit in case the BOR  
circuit fails to detect the BOR condition. Additionally,  
when BOR is enabled except while in Sleep  
(BOREN<1:0> = 10), the LPBOR circuit will hold the  
device in Reset while VDD is lower than the LPBOR  
threshold, and will also re-arm the POR. (see  
Figure 35-11 for LPBOR Reset voltage levels).  
The Watchdog Timer generates a Reset if the firmware  
does not issue a CLRWDTinstruction within the time-out  
period. The TO and PD bits in the STATUS register as  
well as the RWDT bit in the PCON register, are changed  
to indicate the WDT Reset. See Section 10.0  
“Watchdog Timer (WDT)” for more information.  
6.6  
RESET Instruction  
When used without BOR enabled, the LPBOR circuit  
provides a single Reset trip point with the benefit of  
reduced current consumption.  
A RESETinstruction will cause a device Reset. The RI  
bit in the PCON register will be set to ‘0’. See Table 6-4  
for default conditions after a RESET instruction has  
occurred.  
6.3.1  
ENABLING LPBOR  
The LPBOR is controlled by the LPBOR bit of  
Configuration Words. When the device is erased, the  
LPBOR module defaults to disabled.  
6.7  
Stack Overflow/Underflow Reset  
The device can reset when the Stack Overflows or  
Underflows. The STKOVF or STKUNF bits of the PCON  
register indicate the Reset condition. These Resets are  
enabled by setting the STVREN bit in Configuration  
Words. See Section 4.4 “Stack” for more information.  
6.3.1.1  
LPBOR Module Output  
The output of the LPBOR module is a signal indicating  
whether or not a Reset is to be asserted. This signal is  
OR’d together with the Reset signal of the BOR  
module to provide the generic BOR signal, which goes  
to the PCON register and to the power control block.  
6.8  
Programming Mode Exit  
Upon exit of Programming mode, the device will  
behave as if a device Reset had just occurred.  
6.4  
MCLR  
The MCLR is an optional external input that can reset  
the device. The MCLR function is controlled by the  
MCLRE bit of Configuration Words and the LVP bit of  
Configuration Words (Table 6-2).  
6.9  
Power-up Timer  
The Power-up Timer provides a nominal 64 ms  
time-out on POR or Brown-out Reset.  
The device is held in Reset as long as PWRT is active.  
The PWRT delay allows additional time for the VDD to  
rise to an acceptable level. The Power-up Timer is  
enabled by clearing the PWRTE bit in Configuration  
Words.

6.4.1  
MCLR ENABLED  
When MCLR is enabled and the pin is held low, the  
device is held in Reset. The MCLR pin is connected to  
VDD through an internal weak pull-up.

PIC16(L)F18326/18346  
The Power-up Timer and oscillator start-up timer run  
independently of MCLR Reset. If MCLR is kept low  
long enough, the Power-up Timer will expire. Upon  
bringing MCLR high, the device will begin execution  
after ten FOSC cycles (see Figure 6-3). This is useful for  
testing purposes or to synchronize more than one  
device operating in parallel.  
6.10 Start-up Sequence  
Upon the release of a POR or BOR, the following must  
occur before the device will begin executing:  
1. Power-up Timer runs to completion (if enabled).  
2. MCLR must be released (if enabled).  
3. Oscillator start-up timer runs to completion (if  
required for oscillator source).  
The total time out will vary based on oscillator  
configuration and Power-up Timer Configuration. See  
Section 7.0, Oscillator Module for more information.

If an external clock source is selected, the FEXTOSC  
bits of Configuration Word 1 must be used in  
conjunction with the RSTOSC bits to select the  
External Clock mode.  
7.0  
7.1  
OSCILLATOR MODULE  
Overview  
The oscillator module has a wide variety of clock  
sources and selection features that allow it to be used  
in a wide range of applications while maximizing  
performance and minimizing power consumption.  
Figure 7-1 illustrates a block diagram of the oscillator  
module.  
The external oscillator module can be configured in one  
of the following clock modes by setting the  
FEXTOSC<2:0> bits of Configuration Word 1:  
1. ECL – External Clock Low-Power mode  
(<= 100 kHz)  
2. ECM – External Clock Medium-Power mode  
(<= 8 MHz)  
Clock sources can be supplied from external oscillators,  
quartz-crystal resonators and ceramic resonators. In  
addition, the system clock source can be supplied from  
one of two internal oscillators and PLL circuits, with a  
choice of speeds selectable via software. Additional  
clock features include:  
3. ECH – External Clock High-Power mode  
(above 8 MHz)  
4. LP – 32 kHz Low-Power Crystal mode.  
5. XT – Medium Gain Crystal or Ceramic Resonator  
Oscillator mode (between 100 kHz and 4 MHz)  
• Selectable system clock source between external  
or internal sources via software.  
6. HS – High Gain Crystal or Ceramic Resonator  
mode (above 4 MHz)  
• Fail-Safe Clock Monitor (FSCM) designed to  
detect a failure of the external clock source (LP,  
XT, HS, ECH, ECM, ECL) and switch  
The ECH, ECM, and ECL Clock modes rely on an  
external logic level signal as the device clock source.  
The LP, XT, and HS Clock modes require an external  
crystal or resonator to be connected to the device.  
Each mode is optimized for a different frequency range.  
The INTOSC internal oscillator block produces low and  
high-frequency clock sources, designated LFINTOSC  
and HFINTOSC. (see Internal Oscillator Block,  
Figure 7-1).  
automatically to the internal oscillator.  
• Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) ensures stability  
of crystal oscillator sources.  
The RSTOSC bits of Configuration Word 1 determine  
the type of oscillator that will be used when the device  
is reset, including when it is first powered-up.  
The internal clock modes, LFINTOSC, HFINTOSC (set  
at 1 MHz), or HFINTOSC (set at 32 MHz) can be set  
through the RSTOSC bits.

7.2.1.1  
EC Mode  
7.2  
Clock Source Types  
The External Clock (EC) mode allows an externally  
generated logic level signal to be the system clock  
source. When operating in this mode, an external clock  
source is connected to the CLKIN input.  
OSC2/CLKOUT is available for general purpose I/O or  
CLKOUT. Figure 7-2 shows the pin connections for EC  
mode.  
Clock sources can be classified as external or internal.  
External clock sources rely on external circuitry for the  
clock source to function. Examples are: oscillator  
modules (ECH, ECM, ECL mode), quartz crystal  
resonators or ceramic resonators (LP, XT and HS  
modes).  
There is also a secondary oscillator block which is  
optimized for a 32.768 kHz external clock source,  
which can be used as an alternate clock source.  
EC mode has three power modes to select from through  
Configuration Words:  
• ECH – High power, <= 32 MHz  
• ECM – Medium power, <= 8 MHz  
• ECL – Low power, <= 0.1 MHz  
There are two internal oscillator blocks:  
- HFINTOSC  
- LFINTOSC  
The Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) is disabled when  
EC mode is selected. Therefore, there is no delay in  
operation after a Power-on Reset (POR) or wake-up  
from Sleep. Because the PIC® MCU design is fully  
static, stopping the external clock input will have the  
effect of halting the device while leaving all data intact.  
Upon restarting the external clock, the device will  
resume operation as if no time had elapsed.  
The HFINTOSC can produce clock frequencies from  
1-16 MHz. The LFINTOSC generates a 31 kHz clock  
frequency.  
There is a PLL that can be used by the external oscilla-  
tor. See Section 7.2.1.4 “4x PLL” for more details.  
Additionally, there is a PLL that can be used by the  
HFINTOSC  
at  
certain  
frequencies.  
See  
Section 7.2.2.2 “2x PLL” for more details.

manufacturer. The user should consult the  
manufacturer data sheets for specifications  
and recommended application.  
2: Always verify oscillator performance over  
the VDD and temperature range that is  
expected for the application.  
LP Oscillator mode selects the lowest gain setting  
of the internal inverter-amplifier. LP mode current  
consumption is the least of the three modes. This  
mode is designed to drive only 32.768 kHz  
tuning-fork type crystals (watch crystals) but can  
operate up to 100 kHz.  
XT Oscillator mode selects the intermediate gain  
setting of the internal inverter-amplifier. XT mode  
current consumption is the medium of the three  
modes. This mode is best suited to crystals and  
resonators with a frequency rang up to 4 MHz.  
HS Oscillator mode selects the highest gain  
setting of the internal inverter-amplifier. HS mode  
current consumption is the highest of the three  
modes. This mode is best suited for resonators  
that require operating frequencies up to 20 MHz.

INTERNAL CLOCK SOURCES  
7.2.2.1  
HFINTOSC  
The device may be configured to use the internal  
oscillator block as the system clock by performing one  
of the following actions:  
The High-Frequency Internal Oscillator (HFINTOSC) is  
a precision digitally-controlled internal clock source  
that produces a stable clock up to 32 MHz. The  
HFINTOSC can be enabled through one of the  
following methods:  
• Program the RSTOSC<2:0> bits in Configuration  
Words to select the INTOSC clock source, which  
will be used as the default system clock upon a  
device Reset.  
• Write the NOSC<2:0> bits in the OSCCON1  
register to switch the system clock source to the  
internal oscillator during run-time. See  
Section 7.3 “Clock Switching” for more  
information.  
• Programming the RSTOSC<2:0> bits in  
Configuration Word 1 to ‘110’ (1 MHz) or ‘000’  
(32 MHz) to set the oscillator upon device  
Power-up or Reset  
• Write to the NOSC<2:0> bits of the OSCCON1  
register during run-time  
The HFINTOSC frequency can be selected by setting  
the HFFRQ<3:0> bits of the OSCFRQ register.  
The function of the OSC2/CLKOUT pin is determined  
by the CLKOUTEN bit in Configuration Words.  
The NDIV<3:0> bits of the OSCCON1 register allow for  
division of the output of the selected clock source by a  
range between 1:1 and 1:512.  
The internal oscillator block has two independent  
oscillators that can produce two internal system clock  
sources.  
7.2.2.2  
2x PLL  
1. The HFINTOSC (High-Frequency Internal  
Oscillator) is factory-calibrated and operates up  
to 32 MHz.  
The oscillator module contains a PLL that can be used  
with the HFINTOSC clock source to provide a system  
clock source. The input frequency to the PLL is limited  
to 8, 12, or 16 MHz, which will yield a system clock  
source of 16, 24, or 32 MHz, respectively.  
2. The LFINTOSC (Low-Frequency Internal  
Oscillator) is factory-calibrated and operates at  
31 kHz.  
The PLL may be enabled for use by one of two  
methods:  
1. Program the RSTOSC bits in the Configuration  
Word 1 to ‘000’ to enable the HFINTOSC (32  
MHz). This setting configures the HFFRQ<3:0>  
bits to ‘110’ (16 MHz) and activates the 2x PLL.  
2. Write 000’ to the NOSC<2:0> bits in the  
OSCCON1 register to enable the 2x PLL, and  
write the correct value into the HFFRQ<3:0> bits  
of the OSCFRQ register to select the desired  
system clock frequency. See Register 6-6 for  
more information.

PIC16(L)F18326/18346  
7.2.2.3  
Internal Oscillator Frequency  
Adjustment  
The HFINTOSC and LFINTOSC internal oscillators are  
both factory-calibrated. TH HFINTOSC oscillator can  
be adjusted in software by writing to the OSCTUNE  
register (Register 7-3). OSCTUNE does not affect the  
LFINTOSC frequency.  
The default value of the OSCTUNE register is 00h. The  
value is a 6-bit two’s complement number. A value of  
1Fh will provide an adjustment to the maximum  
frequency. A value of 20h will provide an adjustment to  
the minimum frequency.  
When the OSCTUNE register is modified, the  
HFINTOSC oscillator frequency will begin shifting to the  
new frequency. Code execution continues during this  
shift. There is no indication that the shift has occurred.  
7.2.2.4  
LFINTOSC  
The Low-Frequency Internal Oscillator (LFINTOSC) is  
a factory-calibrated 31 kHz internal clock source.  
The LFINTOSC is the clock source for the Power-up  
Timer (PWRT), Watchdog Timer (WDT) and Fail-Safe  
Clock Monitor (FSCM). The LFINTOSC can also be  
used as the system clock, or as a clock or input source  
to certain peripherals.  
The LFINTOSC is selected as the clock source through  
one of the following methods:  
• Programming the RSTOSC<2:0> bits of  
Configuration Word 1 to enable LFINTOSC.  
• Write to the NOSC<2:0> bits of the OSCCON1  
register.  
7.2.2.5  
Oscillator Status and Manual Enable  
The ‘ready’ status of each oscillator is displayed in the  
OSCSTAT1 register (Register 7-4). The oscillators can  
also be manually enabled through the OSCEN register  
(Register 7-5). Manual enables make it possible to  
verify the operation of the EXTOSC or SOSC crystal  
oscillators. This can be achieved by enabling the  
selected oscillator, then watching the corresponding  
‘ready’ state of the oscillator in the OSCSTAT1 register.

If DOZE is in effect, the switch occurs on the next clock  
cycle, whether or not the CPU is operating during that

7.3  
Clock Switching  
The system clock source can be switched between  
external and internal clock sources via software using  
the New Oscillator Source (NOSC) and New Divider  
Selection Request (NDIV) bits of the OSCCON1  
register. The following clock sources can be selected:  
Changing the clock post-divider without changing the  
clock source (i.e., changing FOSC from 1 MHz to 2  
MHz) is handled in the same manner as a clock source  
change, as described previously. The clock source will  
already be active, so the switch is relatively quick.  
CSWHOLD must be clear (CSWHOLD = 0) for the  
switch to complete.  
• External Oscillator (EXTOSC)  
• High-Frequency Internal Oscillator (HFINTOSC)  
• Low-Frequency Internal Oscillator (LFINTOSC)  
• Secondary Oscillator (SOSC)  
• EXTOSC with 4x PLL  
• HFINTOSC with 2x PLL  
The current COSC and CDIV are indicated in the  
OSCCON2 register up to the moment when the switch  
actually occurs, at which time OSCCON2 is updated  
and ORDY is set. NOSCR is cleared by hardware to  
indicate that the switch is complete.  
7.3.1  
NEW OSCILLATOR SOURCE  
(NOSC) AND NEW DIVIDER  
SELECTION REQUEST (NDIV) BITS  
7.3.2  
PLL INPUT SWITCH  
The New Oscillator Source (NOSC) and New Divider  
Selection Request (NDIV) bits of the OSCCON1  
register select the system clock source and frequencies  
that are used for the CPU and peripherals.  
Switching between the PLL and any non-PLL source is  
managed as described above. The input to the PLL is  
established when NOSC<2:0> selects the PLL, and  
maintained by the COSC setting.  
When the new values of NOSC<2:0> and NDIV<3:0>  
are written to OSCCON1, the current oscillator  
selection will continue to operate as the system clock  
while waiting for the new source to indicate that it is  
stable and ready. In some cases, the newly requested  
source may already be in use, and is ready  
immediately. In the case of a divider-only change, the  
new and old sources are the same and are ready  
immediately. The device may enter Sleep while waiting  
for the switch as described in Section 7.3.3 “Clock  
Switch and Sleep”.  
When NOSC<2:0> and COSC select the PLL with  
different input sources, the system continues to run  
using the COSC setting, and the new source is enabled  
per NOSC<2:0>. When the new oscillator is ready (and  
CSWHOLD = 0), system operation is suspended while  
the PLL input is switched and the PLL acquires lock.  
7.3.3  
CLOCK SWITCH AND SLEEP  
If OSCCON1 is written with a new value and the device  
is put to Sleep before the switch completes, the switch  
will not take place and the device will enter Sleep  
mode.  
When the new oscillator is ready, the New Oscillator is  
Ready (NOSCR) bit of OSCCON3 and the Clock  
Switch Interrupt Flag (CSWIF) bit of PIR3 become set  
(CSWIF = 1). If Clock Switch Interrupts are enabled  
(CSWIE = 1), an interrupt will be generated at that time.  
The Oscillator Ready (ORDY) bit of OSCCON3 can  
also be polled to determine when the oscillator is ready  
in lieu of an interrupt.  
When the device wakes from Sleep and the  
CSWHOLD bit is clear, the device will wake with the  
‘new’ clock active, and the Clock Switch Interrupt Flag  
bit (CSWIF) will be set.  
When the device wakes from Sleep and the  
CSWHOLD bit is set, the device will wake with the ‘old’  
clock active and the new clock will be requested again.  
If the Clock Switch Hold (CSWHOLD) bit of OSCCON3  
is clear, the oscillator switch will occur when the New  
Oscillator Ready bit (NOSCR) is set and the interrupt (if  
enabled) will be serviced at the new oscillator setting.  
If CSWHOLD is set, the oscillator switch is suspended,  
while execution continues using the current (old) clock  
source. When the NOSCR bit is set, software should:  
• Set CSWHOLD = 0so the switch can complete,  
or  
• Copy COSC into NOSC<2:0> to abandon the  
switch.

FAIL-SAFE OPERATION  
7.4  
Fail-Safe Clock Monitor  
When the external clock fails, the FSCM switches the  
device clock to the HFINTOSC at 1 MHz clock  
frequency and sets the bit flag OSFIF of the PIR3  
register. Setting this flag will generate an interrupt if the  
OSFIE bit of the PIE3 register is also set. The device  
firmware can then take steps to mitigate the problems  
that may arise from a failed clock. The system clock will  
continue to be sourced from the internal clock source  
until the device firmware successfully restarts the  
external oscillator and switches back to external  
operation, by writing to the NOSC<2:0> and  
NDIV<3:0>bits of the OSCCON1 register.  
The Fail-Safe Clock Monitor (FSCM) allows the device  
to continue operating should the external oscillator fail.  
The FSCM is enabled by setting the FCMEN bit in the  
Configuration Words. The FSCM is applicable to all  
external Oscillator modes (LP, XT, HS, ECL, ECM,  
ECH, and Secondary Oscillator).

the OST is running, the device continues to operate  
from the INTOSC selected in OSCCON1. When the  
OST times out, the Fail-Safe condition is cleared after  
successfully switching to the external clock source. The  
OSFIF bit should be cleared prior to switching to the  
external clock source. If the Fail-Safe condition still  
exists, the OSFIF flag will again be set by hardware.

7.4.1  
FAIL-SAFE DETECTION  
The FSCM module detects a failed oscillator by  
comparing the external oscillator to the FSCM sample  
clock. The sample clock is generated by dividing the  
LFINTOSC by 64 (see Figure 7-9). Inside the fail  
detector block is a latch. The external clock sets the  
latch on each falling edge of the external clock. The  
sample clock clears the latch on each rising edge of the  
sample clock. A failure is detected when an entire  
half-cycle of the sample clock elapses before the  
external clock goes low.  
7.4.4  
RESET OR WAKE-UP FROM SLEEP  
The FSCM is designed to detect an oscillator failure  
after the Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) has expired.  
The OST is used after waking up from Sleep and after  
any type of Reset. The OST is not used with the EC  
Clock modes so that the external clock signal can be  
stopped if required. Therefore, the device will always  
be executing code while the OST is operating when  
using one of the EC modes.

INTERRUPTS  
The interrupt feature allows certain events to preempt  
normal program flow. Firmware is used to determine  
the source of the interrupt and act accordingly. Some  
interrupts can be configured to wake the MCU from  
Sleep mode.  
Many peripherals produce interrupts. Refer to the  
corresponding chapters for details.  
A block diagram of the interrupt logic is shown in  
Figure 8-1.

Operation

Interrupt Latency  
Interrupts are disabled upon any device Reset. They  
are enabled by setting the following bits:  
Interrupt latency is defined as the time from when the  
interrupt event occurs to the time code execution at the  
interrupt vector begins. The latency for synchronous  
interrupts is three or four instruction cycles. The  
interrupt is sampled during Q1 of the instruction cycle.  
The actual interrupt latency then depends on the  
instruction that is executing at the time the interrupt is  
detected. See Figure 8-2 and Figure 8-3 for more  
details.  
• GIE bit of the INTCON register  
• Interrupt Enable bit(s) for the specific interrupt  
event(s)  
• PEIE bit of the INTCON register (if the Interrupt  
Enable bit of the interrupt event is contained in the  
PIEx registers).  
The PIR1, PIR2, PIR3 and PIR4 registers record  
individual interrupts via interrupt flag bits. Interrupt flag  
bits will be set, regardless of the status of the GIE, PEIE  
and individual interrupt enable bits.  
The following events happen when an interrupt event  
occurs while the GIE bit is set:  
• Current prefetched instruction is flushed  
• GIE bit is cleared  
• Current Program Counter (PC) is pushed onto the  
stack  
• Critical registers are automatically saved to the  
shadow registers (See Section 8.5 “Automatic  
Context Saving”)  
• PC is loaded with the interrupt vector 0004h  
The firmware within the Interrupt Service Routine (ISR)  
should determine the source of the interrupt by polling  
the interrupt flag bits. The interrupt flag bits must be  
cleared before exiting the ISR to avoid repeated  
interrupts. Because the GIE bit is cleared, any interrupt  
that occurs while executing the ISR will be recorded  
through its interrupt flag, but will not cause the  
processor to redirect to the interrupt vector.  
The RETFIE instruction exits the ISR by popping the  
previous address from the stack, restoring the saved  
context from the shadow registers and setting the GIE  
bit.  
For additional information on a specific interrupt’s  
operation, refer to its peripheral chapter.  
Note 1: Individual interrupt flag bits are set,  
regardless of the state of any other  
enable bits.  
2: All interrupts will be ignored while the GIE  
bit is cleared. Any interrupt occurring  
while the GIE bit is clear will be serviced  
when the GIE bit is set again.

Interrupts During Sleep  
All interrupts can be used to wake from Sleep. To wake  
from Sleep, the peripheral must be able to operate  
without the system clock. The interrupt source must  
have the appropriate Interrupt Enable bit(s) set prior to  
entering Sleep.  
On waking from Sleep, if the GIE bit is also set, the  
processor will branch to the interrupt vector. Otherwise,  
the processor will continue executing instructions after  
the SLEEPinstruction. The instruction directly after the  
SLEEP instruction will always be executed before  
branching to the ISR. Refer to Section 9.0  
“Power-Saving Operation Modes” for more details.  
8.4  
INT Pin  
The INT pin can be used to generate an asynchronous  
edge-triggered interrupt. This interrupt is enabled by  
setting the INTE bit of the PIE0 register. The INTEDG bit  
of the INTCON register determines on which edge the  
interrupt will occur. When the INTEDG bit is set, the  
rising edge will cause the interrupt. When the INTEDG  
bit is clear, the falling edge will cause the interrupt. The  
INTF bit of the PIR0 register will be set when a valid  
edge appears on the INT pin. If the GIE and INTE bits  
are also set, the processor will redirect program  
execution to the interrupt vector.  
8.5  
Automatic Context Saving  
Upon entering an interrupt, the return PC address is  
saved on the stack. Additionally, the following registers  
are automatically saved in the shadow registers:  
• W register  
• STATUS register (except for TO and PD)  
• BSR register  
• FSR registers  
• PCLATH register  
Upon exiting the Interrupt Service Routine, these  
registers are automatically restored. Any modifications  
to these registers during the ISR will be lost. If  
modifications to any of these registers are desired, the  
corresponding shadow register should be modified and  
the value will be restored when exiting the ISR. The  
shadow registers are available in Bank 31 and are  
readable and writable. Depending on the user’s  
application, other registers may also need to be saved.

POWER-SAVING OPERATION  
MODES  
The purpose of the Power-Down modes is to reduce  
power consumption. There are three Power-Down  
modes: Doze mode, IDLE mode and Sleep mode.  
9.1  
DOZE Mode  
Doze mode allows for power savings by reducing CPU  
operation and program memory access, without  
affecting peripheral operation. Doze mode differs from  
Sleep mode because the system oscillators continue to  
operate, while only the CPU and program memory are  
affected. The reduced execution saves power by  
eliminating unnecessary operations within the CPU  
and memory.  
When the Doze Enable (DOZEN) bit is set  
(DOZEN = 1), the CPU executes only one instruction  
cycle out of every N cycles as defined by the  
DOZE<2:0> bits of the CPUDOZE register. For  
example, if DOZE<2:0> = 100, the instruction cycle  
ratio is 1:32. The CPU and memory execute for one  
instruction cycle and then lay idle for 31 instruction  
cycles. During the unused cycles, the peripherals  
continue to operate at the system clock speed.

9.1.1  
DOZE OPERATION  
9.1.3  
IDLE MODE  
The Doze operation is illustrated in Figure 9-1. For this  
example:  
When the IDLE Enable (IDLEN) bit is clear  
(IDLEN = 0), the SLEEPinstruction will put the device  
into full Sleep mode (see Section 9.2 “Sleep Mode”).  
When IDLEN is set (IDLEN = 1), the SLEEPinstruction  
will put the device into Idle mode. In IDLE mode, the  
CPU and memory operations are halted, but the  
peripheral clocks continue to run. This mode is similar  
to DOZE mode, except that in IDLE both the CPU and  
program memory are shut off.  
• Doze enable (DOZEN) bit set (DOZEN = 1)  
• DOZE<2:0> = 001(1:4) ratio  
• Recover-on-Interrupt (ROI) bit set (ROI = 1)  
As with normal operation, the program memory fetches  
for the next instruction cycle. The instruction clocks to  
the peripherals continue throughout.  
9.1.2  
INTERRUPTS DURING DOZE  
Note:  
Note:  
Peripherals using FOSC will continue  
running while in IDLE (but not in Sleep).  
If an interrupt occurs and the Recover-on-Interrupt  
(ROI) bit is clear (ROI = 0) at the time of the interrupt,  
the Interrupt Service Routine (ISR) continues to exe-  
cute at the rate selected by DOZE<2:0>. Interrupt  
latency is extended by the DOZE<2:0> ratio.  
If CLKOUT is enabled (CLKOUT = 0,  
Configuration Word 1), the output will  
continue operating while in IDLE.  
If an interrupt occurs and the ROI bit is set (ROI = 1) at  
the time of the interrupt, the DOZEN bit is cleared and  
the CPU executes at full speed. The prefetched instruc-  
tion is executed and then the interrupt vector sequence  
is executed. In Figure 9-1, the interrupt occurs during  
the 2nd instruction cycle of the Doze period, and imme-  
diately brings the CPU out of Doze. If the Doze-on-Exit  
(DOE) bit is set (DOE = 1) when the RETFIE operation  
is executed, DOZEN is set, and the CPU executes at  
the reduced rate based on the DOZE<2:0> ratio.  
9.1.3.1  
IDLE and Interrupts  
IDLE mode ends when an interrupt occurs (even if  
GIE = 0), but IDLEN is not changed. The device can  
re-enter IDLE by executing the SLEEPinstruction.  
If Recover-on-Interrupt is enabled (ROI = 1), the  
interrupt that brings the device out of Idle also restores  
full-speed CPU execution when DOZE is also enabled.  
9.1.3.2  
IDLE and WDT  
When in IDLE, the WDT Reset is blocked and will  
instead wake the device. The WDT wake-up is not an  
interrupt, therefore ROI does not apply.  
Note:  
The WDT can bring the device out of  
IDLE, in the same way it brings the device  
out of Sleep. The DOZEN bit is not  
affected.

WAKE-UP FROM SLEEP  
9.2  
Sleep Mode  
The device can wake-up from Sleep through one of the  
following events:  
Sleep mode is entered by executing the SLEEP  
instruction, while the Idle Enable (IDLEN) bit of the  
CPUDOZE register is clear (IDLEN = 0). If the SLEEP  
instruction is executed while the IDLEN bit is set  
(IDLEN = 1), the CPU will enter the Idle mode  
(Section 9.2.3 “Low-Power Sleep Mode”).  
1. External Reset input on MCLR pin, if enabled  
2. BOR Reset, if enabled.  
3. POR Reset.  
4. Watchdog Timer, if enabled  
Upon entering Sleep mode, the following conditions  
exist:  
5. Interrupts by peripherals capable of running  
during Sleep (see individual peripheral for more  
information).  
1. Resets other than WDT are not affected by  
Sleep mode; WDT will be cleared but keeps  
running if enabled for operation during Sleep  
The first three events will cause a device Reset. The  
last two events are considered a continuation of  
program execution. To determine whether a device  
Reset or wake-up event occurred, refer to Section 6.11  
“Determining the Cause of a Reset”.  
2. The PD bit of the STATUS register is cleared  
3. The TO bit of the STATUS register is set  
4. The CPU and System clocks are disabled  
5. 31 kHz LFINTOSC, HFINTOSC and SOSC will  
remain enabled if any peripheral has requested  
them as a clock source or if the HFOEN,  
LFOEN, or SOSCEN bits of the OSCEN register  
are set.  
The WDT is cleared when the device wakes-up from  
Sleep, regardless of the source of wake-up.  
9.2.2  
WAKE-UP USING INTERRUPTS  
When global interrupts are disabled (GIE cleared) and  
any interrupt source has both its interrupt enable bit  
and interrupt flag bit set, one of the following will occur:  
6. ADC is unaffected if the dedicated ADCRC  
oscillator is selected. When the ADC clock is  
something other than ADCRC,  
a SLEEP  
• If the interrupt occurs before the execution of a  
SLEEPinstruction  
instruction causes the present conversion to be  
aborted and the ADC module is turned off,  
although the ADON bit remains active.  
- SLEEPinstruction will execute as a NOP  
- WDT and WDT prescaler will not be cleared  
- TO bit of the STATUS register will not be set  
- PD bit of the STATUS register will not be  
cleared  
7. I/O ports maintain the status they had before  
SLEEP was executed (driving high, low, or  
high-impedance) only if no peripheral connected  
to the I/O port is active.  
• If the interrupt occurs during or after the execu-  
tion of a SLEEPinstruction  
Refer to individual chapters for more details on  
peripheral operation during Sleep.  
- SLEEPinstruction will be completely  
executed  
To minimize current consumption, the following  
conditions should be considered:  
- Device will immediately wake-up from Sleep  
- WDT and WDT prescaler will be cleared  
- TO bit of the STATUS register will be set  
- PD bit of the STATUS register will be cleared  
- I/O pins should not be floating  
- External circuitry sinking current from I/O pins  
- Internal circuitry sourcing current from I/O  
pins  
- Current draw from pins with internal weak  
pull-ups  
Even if the flag bits were checked before executing a  
SLEEP instruction, it may be possible for flag bits to  
become set before the SLEEPinstruction completes. To  
determine whether a SLEEPinstruction executed, test  
the PD bit. If the PD bit is set, the SLEEP instruction  
was executed as a NOP.  
- Modules using any oscillator  
I/O pins that are high-impedance inputs should be  
pulled to VDD or VSS externally to avoid switching  
currents caused by floating inputs.  
Examples of internal circuitry that might be sourcing  
current include modules such as the DAC and FVR  
modules. See Section 24.0 “5-bit Digital-to-Analog  
Converter (DAC1) Module” and Section 16.0 “Fixed  
Voltage Reference (FVR)” for more information on  
these modules.

9.2.3  
LOW-POWER SLEEP MODE  
The PIC16F18326/18346 device contains an internal  
Low Dropout (LDO) voltage regulator, which allows the  
device I/O pins to operate at voltages up to 5.5V while  
the internal device logic operates at a lower voltage.  
The LDO and its associated reference circuitry must  
remain active when the device is in Sleep mode.  
The PIC16F18326/18346 allows the user to optimize  
the operating current in Sleep, depending on the  
application requirements.  
Low-Power Sleep mode can be selected by setting the  
VREGPM bit of the VREGCON register. Depending on  
the configuration of this bit, the LDO and reference cir-  
cuitry are placed in a low-power state when the device  
is in Sleep.  
9.2.3.1  
Sleep Current vs. Wake-up Time  
In the default operating mode, the LDO and reference  
circuitry remain in the normal configuration while in  
Sleep. The device is able to exit Sleep mode quickly  
since all circuits remain active. In Low-Power Sleep  
mode, when waking-up from Sleep, an extra delay time  
is required for these circuits to return to the normal  
configuration and stabilize.  
The Low-Power Sleep mode is beneficial for  
applications that stay in Sleep mode for long periods of  
time. The Normal mode is beneficial for applications  
that need to wake from Sleep quickly and frequently.  
9.2.3.2  
Peripheral Usage in Sleep  
Some peripherals that can operate in Sleep mode will  
not operate properly with the Low-Power Sleep mode  
selected. The Low-Power Sleep mode is intended for  
use with these peripherals:  
• Brown-out Reset (BOR)  
• Watchdog Timer (WDT)  
• External interrupt pin/Interrupt-on-change pins  
• Timer 1 (with external clock source)  
It is the responsibility of the end user to determine what  
is acceptable for their application when setting the  
VREGPM settings in order to ensure operation in  
Sleep.  
Note:  
The PIC16LF18326/18346 does not have  
a configurable Low-Power Sleep mode.  
PIC16LF18326/18346 is an unregulated  
device and is always in the lowest power  
state when in Sleep, with no wake-up time  
penalty. This device has a lower maximum  
VDD and I/O voltage than the  
PIC16F18326/18346. See Section 35.0  
“Electrical Specifications” for more  
information.

10.0 WATCHDOG TIMER (WDT)  
The Watchdog Timer is a system timer that generates  
a Reset if the firmware does not issue a CLRWDT  
instruction within the time-out period. The Watchdog  
Timer is typically used to recover the system from  
unexpected events.  
The WDT has the following features:  
• Independent clock source  
• Multiple operating modes  
- WDT is always ON  
- WDT is OFF when in Sleep  
- WDT is controlled by software  
- WDT is always OFF  
• Configurable time-out period is from 1 ms to 256  
seconds (nominal)  
• Multiple WDT clearing conditions  
• Operation during Sleep

10.1 Independent Clock Source  
10.3 Time-out Period  
The WDT derives its time base from the 31 kHz  
LFINTOSC internal oscillator. Time intervals in this  
chapter are based on a nominal interval of 1 ms. See  
Table 35-8 for the LFINTOSC specification.  
The WDTPS<4:0> bits of the WDTCON register set the  
time-out period from 1 ms to 256 seconds (nominal).  
After a Reset, the default time-out period is two  
seconds.  
10.2 WDT Operating Modes  
10.4 Clearing the WDT  
The Watchdog Timer module has four operating modes  
controlled by the WDTE<1:0> bits in Configuration  
Words (see Table 10-1).  
The WDT is cleared when any of the following  
conditions occur:  
• Any Reset  
CLRWDTinstruction is executed  
• Device enters Sleep  
10.2.1  
WDT IS ALWAYS ON  
When the WDTE bits of Configuration Words are set to  
11’, the WDT is always ON.  
• Device wakes up from Sleep due to an interrupt  
• Oscillator fail  
• WDT is disabled  
• Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) is running  
WDT protection is active during Sleep.  
10.2.2  
WDT IS OFF IN SLEEP  
See Table 10-2 for more information.  
When the WDTE bits of Configuration Words are set to  
10’, the WDT is on, except in Sleep.  
10.5 Operation During Sleep  
WDT protection is not active during Sleep.  
When the device enters Sleep, the WDT is cleared. If  
the WDT is enabled during Sleep, the WDT resumes  
counting.  
10.2.3  
WDT CONTROLLED BY SOFTWARE  
When the WDTE bits of Configuration Words are set to  
01’, the WDT is controlled by the SWDTEN bit of the  
WDTCON register.  
When the device exits Sleep, the WDT is cleared  
again. The WDT remains clear until the OST, if  
enabled, completes. See Section 7.0 “Oscillator  
Module” for more information on the OST.  
WDT protection is unchanged by Sleep. See  
Table 10-1 for more details.  
When a WDT time-out occurs while the device is in  
Sleep, no Reset is generated. Instead, the device  
wakes up and resumes operation. The TO and PD bits  
in the STATUS register are changed to indicate the  
event. See STATUS Register (Register 4-1) for more  
information.  
10.2.4  
WDT IS ALWAYS OFF  
When the WDTE bits are set to ‘00’, the WDT is  
disabled, and the SWDTEN bit of the WDTCON is  
ignored.

The write time is controlled by an on-chip timer. The  
write/erase voltages are generated by an on-chip  
charge pump rated to operate over the operating  
voltage range of the device.  
It is important to understand the Program Flash  
Memory structure for erase and programming  
operations. Program Flash Memory is arranged in  
rows. A row consists of 32 14-bit program memory  
words. A row is the minimum size that can be erased  
by user software.  
NVM can be protected in two ways; by either code  
protection or write protection.  
Code protection (CP and CPD bits in Configuration  
Word 4) disables access, reading and writing, to both  
the Program Flash Memory and EEPROM via external  
device programmers. Code protection does not affect  
the self-write and erase functionality. Code protection  
can only be Reset by a device programmer performing  
a Bulk Erase to the device, clearing all nonvolatile  
memory, Configuration bits, and User IDs.  
All or a portion of a row can be programmed. Data to be  
written into the program memory row is written to 14-bit  
wide data write latches. These latches are not directly  
accessible to the user, but may be loaded via  
sequential writes to the NVMDATH:NVMDATL register  
pair.  
Write protection prohibits self-write and erase to a  
portion or all of the Program Flash Memory, as defined  
by the WRT<1:0> bits of Configuration Word 3. Write  
protection does not affect a device programmer’s ability  
to read, write, or erase the device.  
Note:  
To modify only a portion of a previously  
programmed row, then the contents of the  
entire row must be read and saved in  
RAM prior to the erase. Then, the new  
data and retained data can be written into  
the write latches to reprogram the row of  
11.1 Program Flash Memory

Memory.  
Any  
Program Flash Memory consists of 16,384 14-bit words  
as user memory, with additional words for User ID  
information, Configuration Words, and interrupt  
vectors. Program Flash Memory provides storage  
locations for:  
unprogrammed locations can be written  
without first erasing the row. In this case,  
it is not necessary to save and rewrite the  
other previously programmed locations  
11.1.1  
PROGRAM MEMORY VOLTAGES  
• User program instructions  
• User defined data  
The Program Flash Memory is readable and writable  
during normal operation over the full VDD range.  
Program Flash Memory data can be read and/or written  
to through:  
11.1.1.1  
Programming Externally  
• CPU instruction fetch (read-only)  
• FSR/INDF indirect access (read-only)  
(Section 11.3 “FSR and INDF Access”)  
• NVMREG access (Section 11.4 “NVMREG  
Access”  
The program memory cell and control logic support  
write and Bulk Erase operations down to the minimum  
device operating voltage.  
11.1.1.2  
Self-Programming  
• In-Circuit Serial Programming™ (ICSP™)  
The program memory cell and control logic will support  
write and row erase operations across the entire VDD  
range. Bulk Erase is not supported when  
self-programming.  
Read operations return a single word of memory. When  
write and erase operations are done on a row basis, the  
row size is defined in Table 11-1. Program Flash  
Memory will erase to a logic ‘1’ and program to a logic  
0’.

11.2 Data EEPROM  
11.4 NVMREG Access  
Data EEPROM consists of 256 bytes of user data  
memory. The EEPROM provides storage locations for  
8-bit user defined data.  
The NVMREG interface allows read/write access to all  
the locations accessible by FSRs, and also read/write  
access to the User ID locations and EEPROM, and  
read-only access to the device identification, revision,  
and Configuration data.  
EEPROM can be read and/or written through:  
• FSR/INDF indirect access (Section 11.3 “FSR  
and INDF Access”)  
• NVMREG access (Section 11.4 “NVMREG  
Access”)  
Reading, writing, or erasing of NVM via the NVMREG  
interface is prevented when the device is  
code-protected.  
• In-Circuit Serial Programming (ICSP)  
11.4.1  
NVMREG READ OPERATION  
Unlike Program Flash Memory, which must be written  
to by row, EEPROM can be written to byte-by-byte.  
To read a NVM location using the NVMREG interface,  
the user must:  
1. Clear the NVMREGS bit of the NVMCON1  
register if the user intends to access Program  
Flash Memory locations, or set NVMREGS if the  
user intends to access User ID, Configuration,  
or EEPROM locations.  
11.3 FSR and INDF Access  
The FSR and INDF registers allow indirect access to  
the Program Flash Memory or EEPROM.  
11.3.1  
FSR READ  
2. Write the desired address into the  
With the intended address loaded into an FSR register,  
a MOVIWinstruction or read of INDF will read data from  
the Program Flash Memory or EEPROM. The CPU  
operation is suspended during the read, and resumes  
immediately after. Read operations return a single word  
of memory. When the MSB of the FSR (ex: FSRxH) is  
set to 0x70, the lower 8-bit address value (in FSRxL)  
determines the EEPROM location that may be read  
from (through the INDF register). In other words, the  
EEPROM address range 0x00-0xFF is mapped into the  
FSR address space between 0x7000-0x70FF. Writing  
to the EEPROM cannot be accomplished via the  
FSR/INDF interface.

register  
pair  
3. Set the RD bit of the NVMCON1 register to  
initiate the read.  
Once the read control bit is set, the CPU operation is  
suspended during the read, and resumes immediately  
after. The data is available in the very next cycle, in the  
NVMDATH:NVMDATL register pair; therefore, it can be  
read as two bytes in the following instructions.  
NVMDATH:NVMDATL register pair will hold this value  
until another read or until it is written to by the user.  
Upon completion, the RD bit is cleared by hardware.  
11.3.2  
FSR WRITE  
Writing/erasing the NVM through the FSR registers (ex.  
MOVWI instruction) is not supported in the

The unlock sequence is a mechanism that protects the  
NVM from unintended self-write programming or  
erasing. The sequence must be executed and  
completed without interruption to successfully  
complete any of the following operations:  
Start Unlock Sequence  
Write 55h to NVMCON2

following steps:  
Start Erase Operation  
1. Set the NVMREGS and WREN bits of the  
NVMCON1 register.  
2. Write the desired address (address +7000h) into

Select Word Address  
A single EEPROM byte is written with NVMDATA. The  
operation includes an implicit erase cycle for that byte  
(it is not necessary to set the FREE bit), and requires  
many instruction cycles to finish. CPU execution  
continues in parallel and, when complete, WR is  
cleared by hardware, NVMIF is set, and an interrupt will  
occur if NVMIE is also set. Software must poll the WR  
bit to determine when writing is complete, or wait for the  
interrupt to occur. WREN will remain unchanged.

NVMREG ERASE OF PROGRAM  
FLASH MEMORY  
Unlock Sequence  
(Figure 11-2)  
Program Flash Memory can only be erased one row at  
a time. No automatic erase occurs upon the initiation of  
the write to Program Flash Memory.  
CPU stalls while Erase operation  
completes (2 ms typical)  
To erase a Program Flash Memory row:  
1. Clear the NVMREGS bit of the NVMCON1  
register to erase Program Flash Memory  
locations, or set the NVMREGS bit to erase  
User ID locations.  
Enable Interrupts

3. Set the FREE and WREN bits of the NVMCON1  
register.  
4. Perform the unlock sequence as described in  
End Erase Operation  
Section 11.4.2 “NVM Unlock Sequence”.  
If the Program Flash Memory address is write-pro-  
tected, the WR bit will be cleared and the erase opera-  
tion will not take place.  
While erasing Program Flash Memory, CPU operation  
is suspended, and resumes when the operation is  
complete. Upon completion, the NVMIF is set, and an  
interrupt will occur if the NVMIE bit is also set.  
Write latch data is not affected by erase operations,  
and WREN will remain unchanged.

1. Set the WREN bit of the NVMCON1 register.  
11.4.5  
NVMREG WRITE TO PROGRAM  
FLASH MEMORY  
2. Clear the NVMREGS bit of the NVMCON1  
register.  
Program memory is programmed using the following  
steps:  
3. Set the LWLO bit of the NVMCON1 register.  
When the LWLO bit of the NVMCON1 register is  
1’, the write sequence will only load the write  
latches and will not initiate the write to Flash  
program memory.  
1. Load the address of the row to be programmed  
into NVMADRH:NVMADRL.  
2. Load each write latch with data.  
3. Initiate a programming operation.  
4. Load the NVMADRH:NVMADRL register pair  
with the address of the location to be written.  
4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 until all data is written.  
5. Load the NVMDATH:NVMDATL register pair  
with the program memory data to be written.  
Before writing to program memory, the word(s) to be  
written must be erased or previously unwritten.  
Program memory can only be erased one row at a time.  
No automatic erase occurs upon the initiation of the  
write.  
6. Execute the unlock sequence (Section 11.4.2  
“NVM Unlock Sequence”). The write latch is  
now loaded.  
7. Increment the NVMADRH:NVMADRL register  
pair to point to the next location.  
Program memory can be written one or more words at  
a time. The maximum number of words written at one  
time is equal to the number of write latches. See  
Figure 11-4 (row writes to program memory with 32  
write latches) for more details.  
8. Repeat steps 5 through 7 until all but the last  
write latch has been loaded.  
9. Clear the LWLO bit of the NVMCON1 register.  
When the LWLO bit of the NVMCON1 register is  
0’, the write sequence will initiate the write to  
Flash program memory.  
The write latches are aligned to the Flash row address  
boundary defined by the upper ten bits of  
NVMADRH:NVMADRL, (NVMADRH<6:0>:NVMADRL<7:5>)  
with the lower five bits of NVMADRL, (NVMADRL<4:0>)  
determining the write latch being loaded. Write opera-  
tions do not cross these boundaries. At the completion  
of a program memory write operation, the data in the  
write latches is reset to contain 0x3FFF.  
10. Load the NVMDATH:NVMDATL register pair  
with the program memory data to be written.  
11. Execute the unlock sequence (Section 11.4.2  
“NVM Unlock Sequence”). The entire program  
memory latch content is now written to Flash  
program memory.  
The following steps should be completed to load the  
write latches and program a row of program memory.  
These steps are divided into two parts. First, each write  
Note:  
The program memory write latches are  
reset to the blank state (0x3FFF) at the  
completion of every write or erase  
operation. As a result, it is not necessary  
to load all the program memory write  
latches. Unloaded latches will remain in  
the blank state.  
latch  
is  
loaded  
with  
data  
from  
the  
NVMDATH:NVMDATL using the unlock sequence with  
LWLO = 1. When the last word to be loaded into the  
write latch is ready, the LWLO bit is cleared and the  
unlock sequence executed. This initiates the  
programming operation, writing all the latches into  
Flash program memory.  
An example of the complete write sequence is shown in  
Example 11-4. The initial address is loaded into the  
NVMADRH:NVMADRL register pair; the data is loaded  
using indirect addressing.  
Note:  
The special unlock sequence is required  
to load a write latch with data or initiate a  
Flash programming operation. If the  
unlock sequence is interrupted, writing to  
the latches or program memory will not be  
initiated.

MODIFYING PROGRAM FLASH  
MEMORY  
When modifying existing data in a program memory  
row, and data within that row must be preserved, it must  
first be read and saved in a RAM image. Program  
memory is modified using the following steps:  
1. Load the starting address of the row to be  
modified.  
2. Read the existing data from the row into a RAM  
image.  
3. Modify the RAM image to contain the new data  
to be written into program memory.  
4. Load the starting address of the row to be  
rewritten.  
5. Erase the program memory row.  
6. Load the write latches with data from the RAM  
image.  
7. Initiate a programming operation.

WRITE VERIFY  
It is considered good programming practice to verify that  
program memory writes agree with the intended value.  
Since program memory is stored as a full row then the  
stored program memory contents are compared with the  
intended data stored in RAM after the last write is  
complete.

WRERR BIT  
The WRERR bit can be used to determine if a write  
error occurred.  
WRERR will be set if one of the following conditions  
occurs:  
• If WR is set while the NVMADRH:NMVADRL  
points to a write-protected address  
• A Reset occurs while a self-write operation was in  
progress  
• An unlock sequence was interrupted  
The WRERR bit is normally set by hardware, but can  
be set by the user for test purposes. Once set, WRERR  
must be cleared in software.

Disabling the input buffer prevents analog signal levels  
on the pin between a logic high and low from causing  
excessive current in the logic input circuitry. A  
simplified model of a generic I/O port, without the  
interfaces to other peripherals, is shown in Figure 12-1.

VSS  
Most port pins share functions with device peripherals,  
both analog and digital. In general, when a peripheral  
is enabled on a port pin, that pin cannot be used as a  
general purpose output; however, the pin can still be  
read.  
ANSELx  
12.1 I/O Priorities  
The Data Latch (LATx registers) is useful for  
read-modify-write operations on the value that the I/O  
pins are driving.  
Each pin defaults to the PORT data latch after Reset.  
Other functions are selected with the peripheral pin  
select logic. See Section 13.0 “Peripheral Pin Select  
(PPS) Module” for more information.  
A write operation to the LATx register has the same  
effect as a write to the corresponding PORTx register.  
A read of the LATx register reads of the values held in  
the I/O PORT latches, while a read of the PORTx  
register reads the actual I/O pin value.  
Analog input functions, such as ADC and comparator  
inputs, are not shown in the peripheral pin select lists.  
These inputs are active when the I/O pin is set for  
Analog mode using the ANSELx register. Digital output  
functions may continue to control the pin when it is in  
Analog mode.  
Ports that support analog inputs have an associated  
ANSELx register. When an ANSEL bit is set, the digital  
input buffer associated with that bit is disabled.  
Analog outputs, when enabled, take priority over the  
digital outputs and force the digital output driver to the  
high-impedance state.

12.2.3  
OPEN-DRAIN CONTROL  
12.2 PORTA Registers  
12.2.1 DATA REGISTER  
The ODCONA register (Register 12-6) controls the  
open-drain feature of the port. Open-drain operation is  
independently selected for each pin. When an  
ODCONA bit is set, the corresponding port output  
becomes an open-drain driver capable of sinking  
current only. When an ODCONA bit is cleared, the  
corresponding port output pin is the standard push-pull  
drive capable of sourcing and sinking current.  
PORTA is a 6-bit wide, bidirectional port. The  
corresponding data direction register is TRISA  
(Register 12-2). Setting a TRISA bit (= 1) will make the  
corresponding PORTA pin an input (i.e., disable the  
output driver). Clearing a TRISA bit (= 0) will make the  
corresponding PORTA pin an output (i.e., enables  
output driver and puts the contents of the output latch  
on the selected pin). The exception is RA3, which is  
input-only and its TRIS bit will always read as ‘1’.  
Example 12-1 shows how to initialize PORTA.  
Note:  
It is not necessary to set open-drain  
control when using the pin for I2C; the I2C  
module controls the pin and makes the pin  
open-drain.  
Reading the PORTA register (Register 12-1) reads the  
status of the pins, whereas writing to it will write to the  
PORT latch. All write operations are read-modify-write  
operations. Therefore, a write to a port implies that the  
port pins are read, this value is modified and then  
written to the PORT data latch (LATA).  
12.2.4  
SLEW RATE CONTROL  
The SLRCONA register (Register 12-7) controls the  
slew rate option for each port pin. Slew rate control is  
independently selectable for each port pin. When an  
SLRCONA bit is set, the corresponding port pin drive is  
slew rate limited. When an SLRCONA bit is cleared,  
The corresponding port pin drive slews at the maximum  
rate available.  
The PORT data latch LATA (Register 12-3) holds the  
output port data, and contains the latest value of a  
LATA or PORTA write.  
EXAMPLE 12-1:  
INITIALIZING PORTA  
12.2.5  
INPUT THRESHOLD CONTROL  
; This code example illustrates  
; initializing the PORTA register. The  
; other ports are initialized in the same  
; manner.  
The INLVLA register (Register 12-8) controls the input  
voltage threshold for each of the available PORTA input  
pins. A selection between the Schmitt Trigger CMOS or  
the TTL Compatible thresholds is available. The input  
threshold is important in determining the value of a read  
of the PORTA register and also the level at which an  
interrupt-on-change occurs, if that feature is enabled.  
See Table 35-4 for more information on threshold  
levels.

12.2.2  
DIRECTION CONTROL  
The TRISA register (Register 12-2) controls the  
PORTA pin output drivers, even when they are being  
used as analog inputs. The user should ensure the bits  
in the TRISA register are maintained set when using  
them as analog inputs. I/O pins configured as analog  
inputs always read ‘0’.

PIC16(L)F18326/18346  
12.2.6  
ANALOG CONTROL  
The ANSELA register (Register 12-4) is used to  
configure the Input mode of an I/O pin to analog.  
Setting the appropriate ANSELA bit high will cause all  
digital reads on the pin to be read as ‘0’ and allow  
analog functions on the pin to operate correctly.  
The state of the ANSELA bits has no effect on digital  
output functions. A pin with TRIS clear and ANSEL set  
will still operate as a digital output, but the Input mode  
will be analog. This can cause unexpected behavior  
when executing read-modify-write instructions on the  
affected port.  
Note:  
The ANSELA bits default to the Analog  
mode after Reset. To use any pins as  
digital general purpose or peripheral  
inputs, the corresponding ANSEL bits  
must be initialized to ‘0’ by user software.  
12.2.7  
WEAK PULL-UP CONTROL  
The WPUA register (Register 12-5) controls the  
individual weak pull-ups for each PORT pin.  
PORTA pin RA3 includes the MCLR/VPP input. The  
MCLR input allows the device to be reset, and can be  
disabled by the MCLRE bit of Configuration Word 2. A  
weak pull-up is present on the RA3 port pin. This weak  
pull-up is enabled when MCLR is enabled (MCLRE = 1)  
or the WPUA3 bit is set. The weak pull-up is disabled  
when the MCLR is disabled and the WPUA3 bit is clear.  
12.2.8  
PORTA FUNCTIONS AND OUTPUT  
PRIORITIES  
Each PORTA pin is multiplexed with other functions.  
Each pin defaults to the PORT latch data after Reset.  
Other output functions are selected with the peripheral  
pin select logic. See Section 13.0 “Peripheral Pin  
Select (PPS) Module” for more information.  
Analog input functions, such as ADC and comparator  
inputs are not shown in the peripheral pin select lists.  
Digital output functions may continue to control the pin  
when it is in Analog mode.

OPEN-DRAIN CONTROL  
12.4 PORTB Registers (PIC16(L)F18346  
Only)  
The ODCONB register (Register 12-14) controls the  
open-drain feature of the port. Open-drain operation is  
independently selected for each pin. When an  
ODCONB bit is set, the corresponding port output  
becomes an open-drain driver capable of sinking  
current only. When an ODCONB bit is cleared, the  
corresponding port output pin is the standard push-pull  
drive capable of sourcing and sinking current.  
12.4.1  
DATA REGISTER  
PORTB is a 4-bit wide bidirectional port and is only  
available in the PIC16(L)F18346 devices. The  
corresponding data direction register is TRISB  
(Register 12-10). Setting a TRISB bit (= 1) will make  
the corresponding PORTB pin an input (i.e., put the  
corresponding output driver in a High-Impedance  
mode). Clearing a TRISB bit (= 0) will make the  
corresponding PORTB pin an output (i.e., enable the  
output driver and put the contents of the output latch on  
the selected pin). Example 12-1 shows how to initialize  
an I/O port.  
Note:  
It is not necessary to set open-drain  
control when using the pin for I2C; the I2C  
module controls the pin and makes the pin  
open-drain.  
12.4.5  
SLEW RATE CONTROL  
Reading the PORTB register (Register 12-9) reads the  
status of the pins, whereas writing to it will write to the  
PORT latch. All write operations are read-modify-write  
operations. Therefore, a write to a port implies that the  
port pins are read; this value is modified and then  
written to the PORT data latch (LATB).  
The SLRCONB register (Register 12-15) controls the  
slew rate option for each port pin. Slew rate control is  
independently selectable for each port pin. When an  
SLRCONB bit is set, the corresponding port pin drive is  
slew rate limited. When an SLRCONB bit is cleared,  
the corresponding port pin drive slews at the maximum  
rate possible.  
The PORT data latch LATB (Register 12-11) holds the  
output port data, and contains the latest value of a  
LATB or PORTB write.  
12.4.6  
ANALOG CONTROL  
The ANSELB register (Register 12-12) is used to  
configure the Input mode of an I/O pin to analog.  
Setting the appropriate ANSELB bit high will cause all  
digital reads on the pin to be read as ‘0’ and allow  
analog functions on the pin to operate correctly.  
12.4.2  
DIRECTION CONTROL  
The TRISB register (Register 12-10) controls the  
PORTB pin output drivers, even when they are being  
used as analog inputs. The user should ensure the bits  
in the TRISB register are maintained set when using  
them as analog inputs. I/O pins configured as analog  
inputs always read ‘0’.  
The state of the ANSELB bits has no effect on digital  
output functions. A pin with TRIS clear and ANSELB  
set will still operate as a digital output, but the Input  
mode will be analog. This can cause unexpected  
12.4.3  
INPUT THRESHOLD CONTROL  
behavior  
when  
executing  
read-modify-write  
The INLVLB register (Register 12-16) controls the input  
voltage threshold for each of the available PORTB  
input pins. A selection between the Schmitt Trigger  
CMOS or the TTL Compatible thresholds is available.  
The input threshold is important in determining the  
value of a read of the PORTB register and also the level  
at which an interrupt-on-change occurs, if that feature  
is enabled. See Table 35-4 for more information on  
threshold levels.  
instructions on the affected port.  
Note:  
The ANSELB bits default to the Analog  
mode after Reset. To use any pins as  
digital general purpose or peripheral  
inputs, the corresponding ANSEL bits  
must be initialized to ‘0’ by user software.  
12.4.7  
WEAK PULL-UP CONTROL  
The WPUB register (Register 12-13) controls the  
individual weak pull-ups for each PORT pin.  
Note:  
Changing the input threshold selection  
should be performed while all peripheral  
modules are disabled. Changing the  
threshold level during the time a module is

a
transition associated with an input pin,  
regardless of the actual voltage level on  
that pin.  
Each pin defaults to the PORT latch data after Reset.  
Other output functions are selected with the peripheral  
pin select logic. See Section 13.0 “Peripheral Pin  
Select (PPS) Module” for more information.  
Analog input functions, such as ADC and comparator  
inputs, are not shown in the peripheral pin select lists.  
Digital output functions may continue to control the pin  
when it is in Analog mode.

12.6.4  
OPEN-DRAIN CONTROL  
12.6 PORTC Registers  
The ODCONC register (Register 12-22) controls the  
open-drain feature of the port. Open-drain operation is  
independently selected for each pin. When an  
ODCONC bit is set, the corresponding port output  
becomes an open-drain driver capable of sinking  
current only. When an ODCONC bit is cleared, the  
corresponding port output pin is the standard push-pull  
drive capable of sourcing and sinking current.  
12.6.1  
DATA REGISTER  
PORTC is a bidirectional port that is either 6-bit wide  
(PIC16(L)F18326) or 8-bit wide (PIC16(L)F18346). The  
corresponding data direction register is TRISC  
(Register 12-18). Setting a TRISC bit (= 1) will make the  
corresponding PORTC pin an input (i.e., put the  
corresponding output driver in a High-Impedance mode).  
Clearing a TRISC bit (= 0) will make the corresponding  
PORTC pin an output (i.e., enable the output driver and  
put the contents of the output latch on the selected pin).  
Example 12-1 shows how to initialize an I/O port.  
Note:  
It is not necessary to set open-drain  
control when using the pin for I2C; the I2C  
module controls the pin and makes the pin  
open-drain.  
Reading the PORTC register (Register 12-17) reads the  
status of the pins, whereas writing to it will write to the  
PORT latch. All write operations are read-modify-write  
operations. Therefore, a write to a port implies that the  
port pins are read, this value is modified and then written  
to the PORT data latch (LATC).  
12.6.5  
SLEW RATE CONTROL  
The SLRCONC register (Register 12-23) controls the  
slew rate option for each port pin. Slew rate control is  
independently selectable for each port pin. When an  
SLRCONC bit is set, the corresponding port pin drive is  
slew rate limited. When an SLRCONC bit is cleared,  
The corresponding port pin drive slews at the maximum  
rate possible.  
The PORT data latch LATC (Register 12-19) holds the  
output port data, and contains the latest value of a LATC  
or PORTC write.  
12.6.2  
DIRECTION CONTROL  
12.6.6  
ANALOG CONTROL  
The TRISC register (Register 12-18) controls the  
PORTC pin output drivers, even when they are being  
used as analog inputs. The user should ensure the bits in  
the TRISC register are maintained set when using them  
as analog inputs. I/O pins configured as analog inputs  
always read ‘0’.  
The ANSELC register (Register 12-20) is used to  
configure the Input mode of an I/O pin to analog.  
Setting the appropriate ANSELC bit high will cause all  
digital reads on the pin to be read as ‘0’ and allow  
analog functions on the pin to operate correctly.  
The state of the ANSELC bits has no effect on digital out-  
put functions. A pin with TRIS clear and ANSELC set will  
still operate as a digital output, but the Input mode will be  
analog. This can cause unexpected behavior when exe-  
cuting read-modify-write instructions on the affected  
port.  
12.6.3  
INPUT THRESHOLD CONTROL  
The INLVLC register (Register 12-24) controls the input  
voltage threshold for each of the available PORTC  
input pins. A selection between the Schmitt Trigger  
CMOS or the TTL Compatible thresholds is available.  
The input threshold is important in determining the  
value of a read of the PORTC register and also the  
level at which an interrupt-on-change occurs, if that  
feature is enabled. See Table 35-4 for more information  
on threshold levels.  
Note:  
The ANSELC bits default to the Analog  
mode after Reset. To use any pins as  
digital general purpose or peripheral  
inputs, the corresponding ANSEL bits  
must be initialized to ‘0’ by user software.  
Note:  
Changing the input threshold selection  
should be performed while all peripheral  
modules are disabled. Changing the  
threshold level during the time a module is

that pin.  
Each pin defaults to the PORT latch data after Reset.  
Other functions are selected with the peripheral pin  
select logic. See Section 13.0 “Peripheral Pin Select  
(PPS) Module” for more information.  
Analog output functions, such as ADC and comparator  
inputs, are not shown in the peripheral pin select lists.  
Digital output functions may continue to control the pin  
when it is in Analog mode.

13.2 PPS Outputs  
13.0 PERIPHERAL PIN SELECT  
(PPS) MODULE  
Each I/O pin has a PPS register with which the pin  
output source is selected. With few exceptions, the port  
TRIS control associated with that pin retains control  
over the pin output driver. Peripherals that control the  
pin output driver as part of the peripheral operation will  
override the TRIS control as needed. These  
peripherals are:  
The Peripheral Pin Select (PPS) module connects  
peripheral inputs and outputs to the device I/O pins.  
Only digital signals are included in the selections. All  
analog inputs and outputs remain fixed to their  
assigned pins. Input and output selections are  
independent as shown in the simplified block diagram  
Figure 13-1.  
• EUSART1 (synchronous operation)  
• MSSP (I2C)  
13.1 PPS Inputs  
Although every pin has its own PPS peripheral  
selection register, the selections are identical for every  
pin as shown in Register 13-2.  
Each peripheral has a PPS register with which the  
inputs to the peripheral are selected. Inputs include the  
device pins.  
Note:  
The notation “Rxy” is a place holder for the  
pin identifier. For example, RA0PPS.  
Although every peripheral has its own PPS input selec-  
tion register, the selections are identical for every  
peripheral as shown in Register 13-1.  
Note:  
The notation “xxx” in the register name is  
a place holder for the peripheral identifier.  
For example, CLC1PPS.

13.3 Bidirectional Pins  
13.5 PPS1WAY Bit  
PPS selections for peripherals with bidirectional  
signals on a single pin must be made so that the PPS  
input and PPS output select the same pin. This  
requires configuring both the appropriate xxxPPS input  
and RxyPPS output registers. For example, if the SCL1  
line is routed to pin RC0, the SSP1SCLPPS input  
register would be set to '10000' (routes to RC0) and the  
RC0PPS output register would be set to '11000'  
(routes the SCL1 internal connection to RC0).  
Peripherals that have bidirectional signals are:  
The PPS can be locked by setting the PPS1WAY bit of  
Configuration Word 2.  
When the PPS1WAY bit is set, the PPSLOCKED bit of  
the PPSLOCK register can be cleared and set only one  
time after a device Reset. Once the PPS registers are  
configured, user software sets the PPSLOCKED bit,  
preventing any further writes to the PPS registers. the  
PPS registers can be read at any time, regardless of  
the PPS1WAY or PPSLOCKED settings.  
When the PPS1WAY bit is clear, the PPSLOCKED bit  
of the PPSLOCK register can be cleared and set  
multiple times during code execution, but requires the  
PPS lock/unlock sequence to be performed each time  
modifications to the PPS registers are made.  
• EUSART1 (synchronous operation)  
• MSSP (I2C)  
Note:  
The I2C default input pins are I2C and  
SMBus compatible and are the only pins  
on the PIC16(L)F18326 with this compati-  
bility. For the PIC16(L)F18346, in addition  
to the default pins as described above,  
RC0, RC1, RC4, and RC5 are also I2C  
and SMBus compatible. Clock and data  
signals can be routed to any pin, however  
pins without I2C compatibility will operate  
at standard TTL/ST logic levels as  
selected by the INVLV register.  
13.6 Operation During Sleep  
PPS input and output selections are unaffected by  
Sleep.  
13.7 Effects of a Reset  
A device Power-On-Reset (POR) clears all PPS input  
and output selections to their default values, and clears  
the PPSLOCKED bit of the PPSLOCK register. All other  
Resets leave the selections unchanged. Default input  
selections are shown in pin allocation Table 2 and  
Table 3.  
13.4 PPSLOCKED Bit  
The PPS includes a mode in which all input and output  
selections can be locked to prevent inadvertent  
changes. PPS selections are locked by setting the  
PPSLOCKED bit of the PPSLOCK register. Setting and  
clearing this bit requires a special sequence as an extra  
precaution against inadvertent changes. Examples of  
setting and clearing the PPSLOCKED bit are shown in  
Example 13-1.

14.2 Enabling a Module  
14.0 PERIPHERAL MODULE  
DISABLE  
When the register bit is cleared, the module is re-  
enabled and will be in its Reset state; SFR data will  
reflect the POR Reset values.  
The PIC16(L)F18326/18346 provides the ability to  
disable selected modules, placing them into the lowest  
possible power mode.  
Depending on the module, it may take up to one full  
instruction cycle for the module to become active.  
There should be no interaction with the module (e.g.,  
writing to registers) for at least one instruction after it  
has been re-enabled.  
For legacy reasons, all modules are ON by default  
following any Reset.  
14.1 Disabling a Module  
Disabling a module has the following effects:  
14.3 System Clock Disable  
• All clock and control inputs to the module are sus-  
pended; there are no logic transitions, and the  
module will not function.  
• The module is held in Reset.  
- Writing to the SFRs is disabled  
- Reads return 00h  
Setting SYSCMD (PMD0, Register 14-1) disables the  
system clock (FOSC) distribution network to the  
peripherals. Not all peripherals make use of SYSCLK,  
so not all peripherals are affected. Refer to the specific  
peripheral description to see if it will be affected by this  
bit.  
• Analog outputs are disabled; Digital outputs read

15.3 Interrupt Flags  
15.0 INTERRUPT-ON-CHANGE  
The bits located in the IOCxF registers are status flags  
that correspond to the interrupt-on-change pins of each  
port. If an expected edge is detected on an appropriately  
enabled pin, then the status flag for that pin will be set,  
and an interrupt will be generated if the IOCIE bit is set.  
The IOCIF bit of the PIR0 register reflects the status of  
all IOCxF bits.  
All pins on all ports can be configured to operate as  
Interrupt-On-Change (IOC) pins. An interrupt can be  
generated by detecting a signal that has either a rising  
edge or a falling edge. Any individual pin, or combination  
of pins, can be configured to generate an interrupt. The  
interrupt-on-change module has the following features:  
• Interrupt-on-Change enable  
- Rising and falling edge detection  
• Individual pin configuration  
• Individual pin interrupt flags  
15.4 Clearing Interrupt Flags  
The individual status flags, (IOCxF register bits), can be  
cleared by resetting them to zero. If another edge is  
detected during this clearing operation, the associated  
status flag will be set at the end of the sequence,  
regardless of the value actually being written.  
Figure 15-1 is a block diagram of the IOC module.  
15.1 Enabling the Module  
To allow individual pins to generate an interrupt, the  
IOCIE bit of the PIE0 register must be set. If the IOCIE  
bit is disabled, the edge detection on the pin will still  
occur, but an interrupt will not be generated.  
In order to ensure that no detected edge is lost while  
clearing flags, only AND operations masking out known  
changed bits should be performed. The following  
sequence is an example of what should be performed.  
EXAMPLE 15-1:  
CLEARING INTERRUPT  
FLAGS  
(PORTA EXAMPLE)  
15.2 Individual Pin Configuration  
For each pin, a rising edge detector and a falling edge  
detector are present. To enable a pin to detect a rising  
edge, the associated bit of the IOCxP register is set. To  
enable a pin to detect a falling edge, the associated bit  
of the IOCxN register is set.  
MOVLW 0xff  
XORWF IOCAF, W  
ANDWF IOCAF, F  
A pin can be configured to detect rising and falling  
edges simultaneously by setting the associated bits in  
both of the IOCxP and IOCxN registers.  
15.5 Operation in Sleep  
The interrupt-on-change interrupt event will wake the  
device from Sleep mode, if the IOCIE bit is set.  
If an edge is detected while in Sleep mode, the affected  
IOCxF register will be updated prior to the first instruction  
executed out of Sleep.

16.1 Independent Gain Amplifiers  
16.0 FIXED VOLTAGE REFERENCE  
(FVR)  
The output of the FVR, which is supplied to the ADC,  
Comparators and DAC, is routed through two  
independent programmable gain amplifiers. Each  
amplifier can be programmed for a gain of 1x, 2x or 4x,  
to produce the three possible voltage levels.  
The Fixed Voltage Reference, or FVR, is a stable  
voltage reference, independent of VDD, with 1.024V,  
2.048V or 4.096V selectable output levels. The output  
of the FVR subsystem can be configured to supply a  
reference voltage to the following:  
The ADFVR<1:0> bits of the FVRCON register are  
used to enable and configure the gain amplifier settings  
for the reference supplied to the ADC module.  
• ADC input channel  
• ADC positive reference  
• Comparator positive input  
• Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC)

for the reference supplied to the DAC and comparator  
The FVR can be enabled by setting the FVREN bit of  
the FVRCON register.

TEMPERATURE CIRCUIT  
DIAGRAM  
17.0 TEMPERATURE INDICATOR  
MODULE  
This family of devices is equipped with a temperature  
circuit designed to measure the operating temperature  
of the silicon die. The circuit’s range of operating  
temperature falls between -40°C and +85°C. The  
output is a voltage that is proportional to the device  
temperature. The output of the temperature indicator is  
internally connected to the device ADC.  
VDD

TSRNG  
The circuit may be used as a temperature threshold  
detector or a more accurate temperature indicator,  
depending on the level of calibration performed. A one-  
point calibration allows the circuit to indicate a  
temperature closely surrounding that point. A two-point  
calibration allows the circuit to sense the entire range  
of temperature more accurately. Reference Application

17.1 Circuit Operation  
17.2 Minimum Operating VDD  
Figure 17-1 shows a simplified block diagram of the  
temperature circuit. The proportional voltage output is  
achieved by measuring the forward voltage drop across  
multiple silicon junctions.  
When the temperature circuit is operated in low range,  
the device may be operated at any operating voltage  
that is within specifications.  
When the temperature circuit is operated in high range,  
the device operating voltage, VDD, must be high  
enough to ensure that the temperature circuit is  
correctly biased.  
Equation 17-1 describes the output characteristics of  
the temperature indicator.  
EQUATION 17-1: VOUT RANGES  
Table 17-1 shows the recommended minimum VDD vs.  
range setting.  
High Range: VOUT = VDD - 4VT  
Low Range: VOUT = VDD - 2VT

The circuit is enabled by setting the TSEN bit of the  
FVRCON register. When disabled, the circuit draws no  
current.  
17.3 Temperature Output  
The output of the circuit is measured using the internal  
Analog-to-Digital Converter. A channel is provided for  
the temperature circuit output. Refer to Section 22.0  
“Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) Module” for  
detailed information.  
The circuit operates in either high or low range. The high  
range, selected by setting the TSRNG bit of the  
FVRCON register, provides a wider output voltage. This  
provides more resolution over the temperature range.  
This range requires a higher bias voltage to operate and  
thus, a higher VDD is needed.  
The low range is selected by clearing the TSRNG bit of  
the FVRCON register. The low range generates a lower  
voltage drop and thus, a lower VDD voltage is needed to  
operate the circuit. The low range is provided for low  
voltage operation.

18.0 COMPARATOR MODULE  
Comparators are used to interface analog circuits to a  
digital circuit by comparing two analog voltages and  
providing a digital indication of their relative magnitudes.  
Comparators are very useful mixed signal building  
blocks because they provide analog functionality  
independent of program execution. The analog  
comparator module includes the following features:  
• Programmable input selection  
- Selectable voltage reference  
• Programmable output polarity  
• Rising/falling output edge interrupts  
• Wake-up from Sleep  
• CWG Auto-shutdown source  
18.1  
Comparator Overview  
A single comparator is shown in Figure 18-1 along with  
the relationship between the analog input levels and  
the digital output. When the analog voltage at VIN+ is  
less than the analog voltage at VIN-, the output of the  
comparator is a digital low level. When the analog  
voltage at VIN+ is greater than the analog voltage at  
VIN-, the output of the comparator is a digital high level.  
The comparators available for this device are located in  
Table 18-1.

COMPARATOR OUTPUT POLARITY  
18.2 Comparator Control  
Inverting the output of the comparator is functionally  
equivalent to swapping the comparator inputs. The  
polarity of the comparator output can be inverted by  
setting the CxPOL bit of the CMxCON0 register.  
Clearing the CxPOL bit results in a non-inverted output.  
Each comparator has two control registers: CMxCON0  
and CMxCON1.  
The CMxCON0 register (see Register 18-1) contains  
Control and Status bits for the following:  
• Enable  
• Output  
• Output polarity  
• Hysteresis enable  
• Timer1 output synchronization  
Table 18-2 shows the output state versus input  
conditions, including polarity control.

18.2.1  
COMPARATOR ENABLE  
Setting the CxON bit of the CMxCON0 register enables  
the comparator for operation. Clearing the CxON bit  
disables the comparator resulting in minimum current  
consumption.  
18.3 Comparator Hysteresis  
A selectable amount of separation voltage can be  
added to the input pins of each comparator to provide a  
hysteresis function to the overall operation. Hysteresis  
is enabled by setting the CxHYS bit of the CMxCON0  
register.  
18.2.2  
COMPARATOR OUTPUT  
The output of the comparator can be monitored by  
reading either the CxOUT bit of the CMxCON0 register  
or the MCxOUT bit of the CMOUT register.  
See Comparator Specifications in Table 35-14 for more  
information.  
The comparator output can also be routed to an  
external pin through the RxyPPS register  
(Register 13-2). The corresponding TRIS bit must be  
clear to enable the pin as an output.  
18.4 Timer1 Gate Operation  
The output resulting from a comparator operation can  
be used as a source for gate control of Timer1. See  
Section 27.5 “Timer1 Gate” for more information.  
This feature is useful for timing the duration or interval  
of an analog event.  
Note 1: The internal output of the comparator is  
latched with each instruction cycle.  
Unless otherwise specified, external  
outputs are not latched.  
It is recommended that the comparator output be  
synchronized to Timer1. This ensures that Timer1 does  
not increment while a change in the comparator is  
occurring.  
18.4.1  
COMPARATOR OUTPUT  
SYNCHRONIZATION  
The output from a comparator can be synchronized  
with Timer1 by setting the CxSYNC bit of the  
CMxCON0 register.  
Once enabled, the comparator output is latched on the  
falling edge of the Timer1 source clock.This allows the  
timer/counter to synchronize with the CxOUT bit so that  
the software sees no ambiguity due to timing. See the  
Comparator Block Diagram (Figure 18-2) and the  
Timer1 Block Diagram (Figure 27-1) for more  
information.

18.5 Comparator Interrupt  
18.7 Comparator Negative Input  
Selection  
An interrupt can be generated when either the rising  
edge or falling edge detector detects a change in the  
output value of each comparator.  
The CxNCH<2:0> bits of the CMxCON1 register direct  
an analog input pin and internal reference voltage or  
analog ground to the inverting input of the comparator:  
When either edge detector is triggered and its  
associated enable bit is set (CxINTP and/or CxINTN  
bits of the CMxCON1 register), the Corresponding  
Interrupt Flag bit (CxIF bit of the PIR2 register) will be  
set.  
• CxIN- pin  
• FVR (Fixed Voltage Reference)  
• Analog Ground  
To enable the interrupt, you must set the following bits:  
Note:  
To use CxINy+ and CxINy- pins as analog  
input, the appropriate bits must be set in  
• CxON bit of the CMxCON0 register  
• CxIE bit of the PIE2 register  
• CxINTP bit of the CMxCON1 register (for a rising  
edge detection)  
• CxINTN bit of the CMxCON1 register (for a falling  
edge detection)  
the  
ANSEL  
register  
and  
the  
corresponding TRIS bits must also be set  
to disable the output drivers.  
• PEIE and GIE bits of the INTCON register  
18.8 Comparator Response Time  
The associated interrupt flag bit, CxIF bit of the PIR2  
register, must be cleared in software. If another edge is  
detected while this flag is being cleared, the flag will still  
be set at the end of the sequence.  
The comparator output is indeterminate for a period of  
time after the change of an input source or the selection  
of a new reference voltage. This period is referred to as  
the response time. The response time of the comparator  
differs from the settling time of the voltage reference.  
Therefore, both of these times must be considered when  
determining the total response time to a comparator  
input change. See the Comparator and Voltage  
Reference Specifications in Table 35-14 for more  
details.  
Note:  
Although a comparator is disabled, an  
interrupt can be generated by changing  
the output polarity with the CxPOL bit of  
the CMxCON0 register, or by switching  
the comparator on or off with the CxON bit  
of the CMxCON0 register.  
18.6 Comparator Positive Input  
Selection  
Configuring the CxPCH<2:0> bits of the CMxCON1  
register directs an internal voltage reference or an  
analog pin to the non-inverting input of the comparator:  
• CxIN0+ analog pin  
• DAC output  
• FVR (Fixed Voltage Reference)  
• VSS (Ground)  
See Section 16.0 “Fixed Voltage Reference (FVR)”  
for more information on the Fixed Voltage Reference  
module.  
See Section 24.0 “5-bit Digital-to-Analog Converter  
(DAC1) Module” for more information on the DAC  
input signal.  
Any time the comparator is disabled (CxON = 0), all  
comparator inputs are disabled.

PIC16(L)F18326/18346  
18.9 Analog Input Connection  
Considerations  
Note 1: When reading a PORT register, all pins  
configured as analog inputs will read as a  
0’. Pins configured as digital inputs will  
provide an input based on their level as  
either a TTL or ST input buffer.  
A simplified circuit for an analog input is shown in  
Figure 18-3. Since the analog input pins share their  
connection with a digital input, they have reverse  
biased ESD protection diodes to VDD and VSS. The  
analog input, therefore, must be between VSS and VDD.  
If the input voltage deviates from this range by more  
than 0.6V in either direction, one of the diodes is  
forward biased and a latch-up may occur.  
2: Analog levels on any pin defined as a  
digital input, may cause the input buffer to  
consume more current than is specified.  
A maximum source impedance of 10 kis recommended  
for the analog sources. Also, any external component  
connected to an analog input pin, such as a capacitor or  
a Zener diode, may have very little leakage current to  
minimize inaccuracies introduced.

18.10 CWG Auto-shutdown Source  
The output of the comparator module can be used as  
an auto-shutdown source for the CWG module. When  
the output of the comparator is active and the  
corresponding ASxE is enabled, the CWG operation  
will be suspended immediately (Section 20.7.1.2  
“External Input Source Shutdown”).  
18.11 Operation in Sleep Mode  
The comparator module can operate during Sleep. The  
comparator clock source is based on the Timer1 clock  
source. If the Timer1 clock source is either the system  
clock (FOSC) or the instruction clock (FOSC/4), Timer1  
will not operate during Sleep, and synchronized  
comparator outputs will not operate.  
A comparator interrupt will wake the device from Sleep.  
The CxIE bits of the PIE2 register must be set to enable  
comparator interrupts.

PIC16(L)F18326/18346  
19.1 Standard PWM Mode  
19.0 PULSE-WIDTH MODULATION  
(PWM)  
The standard PWM mode generates a Pulse-Width  
Modulation (PWM) signal on the PWMx pin with up to  
ten bits of resolution. The period, duty cycle, and  
resolution are controlled by the following registers:  
The PWMx modules generate Pulse-Width Modulated  
(PWM) signals of varying frequency and duty cycle.  
In  
addition  
to  
the  
CCP  
modules,  
the  
• TMR2, TMR4 or TMR6 registers  
• PR2, PR4 or PR6 registers  
• PWMxCON registers  
PIC16(L)F18326/18346 devices contain two PWM  
modules.  
Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) is a scheme that  
provides power to a load by switching quickly between  
fully on and fully off states. The PWM signal resembles  
a square wave where the high portion of the signal is  
considered the ON state (pulse width), and the low  
portion of the signal is considered the OFF state. The  
term duty cycle describes the proportion of the ON time  
to the OFF time and is expressed in percentages,  
where 0% is fully OFF and 100% is fully ON. A lower  
duty cycle corresponds to less power applied and a  
higher duty cycle corresponds to more power applied.  
The PWM period is defined as the duration of one  
complete cycle or the total amount of on and off time  
combined.  
• PWMxDCH registers  
• PWMxDCL registers  
Figure 29-2 shows a simplified block diagram of the  
PWM operation.  
If PWMPOL = 0, the default state of the output is ‘0‘. If  
PWMPOL = 1, the default state is ‘1’. If PWMEN = 0,  
the output will be the default state.  
Note:  
Note:  
The corresponding TRIS bit must be  
cleared to enable the PWM output on the  
PWMx pin  
The formulas and text refer to TMR2 and  
PR2, for simplicity. The same formulas  
and text apply to TMR4/6 and PR4/6. The  
timer sources can be selected in  
Register 19-4. For additional information  
on TMR2/4/6, refer to Section 28.0  
“Timer 2/4/6 Module”  
PWM resolution defines the maximum number of steps  
that can be present in a single PWM period. A higher  
resolution allows for more precise control of the  
pulse-width time and in turn the power that is applied to  
the load.  
Figure 19-1 shows a typical waveform of the PWM  
signal.

PWM PERIOD  
19.1.2  
PWM DUTY CYCLE  
Referring to Figure 19-1, the PWM output has a period  
and a pulse width. The frequency of the PWM is the  
inverse of the period (1/period).  
The PWM duty cycle is specified by writing a 10-bit  
value to the PWMxDC register. The PWMxDCH  
contains the eight MSbs and bits <7:6> of the  
PWMxDCL register contain the two LSbs.  
The PWM period is specified by writing to the PR2  
register. The PWM period can be calculated using the  
following formula:  
The PWMDC register is double-buffered and can be  
updated at any time. This double buffering is essential  
for glitch-free PWM operation. New values take effect  
when TMR2 = PR2. Note that PWMDC is left-justified.  
EQUATION 19-1: PWM PERIOD  
The 8-bit timer TMR2 register is concatenated with  
either the 2-bit internal system clock (FOSC), or two bits  
of the prescaler, to create the 10-bit time base. The  
system clock is used if the Timer2 prescaler is set to  
1:1.  
PWM Period = PR2+ 1  4 TOSC   
(TMR2 Prescale Value)  
Note:  
TOSC = 1/FOSC  
When TMR2 is equal to PR2, the following three events  
occur on the next increment cycle:  
Equation 19-2 is used to calculate the PWM pulse  
width.  
• TMR2 is cleared  
• The PWMx pin is set (Exception: If the PWM duty  
cycle = 0%, the pin will not be set.)  
Equation 19-3 is used to calculate the PWM duty cycle  
ratio.  
• The PWM pulse width is latched from PWMxDC.  
EQUATION 19-2: PULSE WIDTH  
Pulse Width = PWMxDC  TOSC  
Note:  
If the pulse-width value is greater than the  
period, the assigned PWM pin(s) will  
remain unchanged.

PWM RESOLUTION  
19.1.7  
SETUP FOR PWM OPERATION  
PWM resolution, expressed in number of bits, defines  
the maximum number of discrete steps that can be  
present in a single PWM period. For example, a 10-bit  
resolution will result in 1024 discrete steps, whereas an  
8-bit resolution will result in 256 discrete steps.  
The following steps will be taken when configuring the  
module for using the PWMx outputs:  
1. Disable the PWMx pin output driver(s) by setting  
the associated TRIS bit(s).  
2. Configure the PWM output polarity by  
configuring the PWMxPOL bit of the PWMxCON  
register.  
The maximum PWM resolution is ten bits when PR2 is  
255. The resolution is a function of the PR2 register  
value as shown by Equation 19-4.  
3. Load the PR2 register with the PWM period  
value, as determined by Equation 19-1.  
EQUATION 19-4: PWM RESOLUTION  
4. Load the PWMxDCH register and bits <7:6> of  
the PWMxDCL register with the PWM duty cycle  
value, as determined by Equation 19-2.

5. Configure and start Timer2:  
• Clear the TMR2IF interrupt flag bit of the  
PIR1 register.  
• Select the Timer2 prescale value by  
configuring the T2CKPS bit of the T2CON  
register.  
• Enable Timer2 by setting the TMR2ON bit of  
the T2CON register.  
Note:  
If the pulse-width value is greater than the  
period, the assigned PWM pin(s) will  
remain unchanged.  
19.1.4  
OPERATION IN SLEEP MODE  
6. Wait until the TMR2IF is set.  
In Sleep mode, the TMR2 register will not increment  
and the state of the module will not change. If the  
PWMx pin is driving a value, it will continue to drive that  
value. When the device wakes up, TMR2 will continue  
from its previous state.  
7. When the TMR2IF flag bit is set:  
• Clear the associated TRIS bit(s) to enable  
the output driver.  
• Route the signal to the desired pin by  
configuring the RxyPPS register.  
• Enable the PWMx module by setting the  
PWMxEN bit of the PWMxCON register.  
19.1.5  
CHANGES IN SYSTEM CLOCK  
FREQUENCY  
In order to send a complete duty cycle and period on  
the first PWM output, the above steps must be followed  
in the order given. If it is not critical to start with a  
complete PWM signal, then the PWM module can be  
enabled during Step 2 by setting the PWMxEN bit of the  
PWMxCON register.  
The PWM frequency is derived from the system clock  
frequency. Any changes in the system clock frequency  
will result in changes to the PWM frequency. See  
Section 7.0, Oscillator Module for additional details.  
19.1.6  
EFFECTS OF RESET  
Any Reset will force all ports to Input mode and the  
PWMx registers to their Reset states.

20.2 Operating Modes  
20.0 COMPLEMENTARY WAVEFORM  
GENERATOR (CWG) MODULE  
The CWGx module can operate in six different modes,  
as specified by the MODE<2:0> bits of the  
CWGxCON0 register:  
The Complementary Waveform Generator (CWGx)  
produces complementary waveforms with dead-band  
delay from a selection of input sources.  
• Half-Bridge mode  
• Push-Pull mode  
The CWGx module has the following features:  
• Asynchronous Steering mode  
• Synchronous Steering mode  
• Full-Bridge mode, Forward  
• Full-Bridge mode, Reverse  
• Selectable dead-band clock source control  
• Selectable input sources  
• Output enable control  
• Output polarity control  
All modes accept a single pulse data input, and  
provide up to four outputs as described in the following  
sections.  
• Dead-band control with independent 6-bit rising  
and falling edge dead-band counters  
• Auto-shutdown control with:  
- Selectable shutdown sources  
- Auto-restart enable  
All modes include auto-shutdown control as described  
in Section 20.11 “Register Definitions: CWG  
Control”  
- Auto-shutdown pin override control  
20.1 Fundamental Operation  
Note:  
Except as noted for Full-bridge mode  
(Section 20.2.4 “Full-Bridge Modes”),  
mode changes may only be performed  
while EN = 0(Register 20-1).  
The CWG generates two output waveforms from the  
selected input source.  
The off-to-on transition of each output can be delayed  
from the on-to-off transition of the other output, thereby,  
creating a time delay immediately where neither output  
is driven. This is referred to as dead time and is covered  
in Section 20.6 “Dead-Band Control”.  
20.2.1  
HALF-BRIDGE MODE  
In Half-Bridge mode, two output signals are generated  
as true and inverted versions of the input as illustrated  
in Figure 20-1. A non-overlap (dead-band) time is  
inserted between the two outputs as described in  
Section 20.6 “Dead-Band Control”. Steering modes  
are not used in Half-Bridge mode.  
It may be necessary to guard against the possibility of  
circuit faults or a feedback event arriving too late or not  
at all. In this case, the active drive must be terminated  
before the Fault condition causes damage. This is  
referred to as auto-shutdown and is covered in  
Section 20.7 “Auto-Shutdown Control”.  
The unused outputs, CWGxC and CWGxD, drive  
similar signals with polarity independently controlled by  
POLC and POLD, respectively.

PUSH-PULL MODE  
In Push-Pull mode, two output signals are generated,  
alternating copies of the input as illustrated in  
Figure 20-2. This alternation creates the push-pull  
effect required for driving some transformer based  
power supply designs. Dead-band control is not used in  
Push-Pull mode. Steering modes are not used in  
Push-Pull mode.  
The push-pull sequencer is reset whenever EN = 0or  
if an auto-shutdown event occurs. The sequencer is  
clocked by the first input pulse, and the first output  
appears on CWGxA.  
The unused outputs CWGxC and CWGxD drive copies  
of CWGxA and CWGxB, respectively, but with polarity  
controlled by POLC and POLD.

STEERING MODES  
In both Synchronous and Asynchronous Steering  
modes, the modulated input signal can be steered to  
any combination of four CWG outputs and a fixed-value  
will be presented on all the outputs not used for the  
PWM output. Each output has independent polarity,  
steering, and shutdown options. Dead-band control is  
not used in either Steering mode.  
When STRy = 0(Register 20-5), the corresponding pin  
is held at the level defined by SDATy (Register 20-5).  
When STRy = 1, the pin is driven by the modulated  
input signal.  
The POLy bits (Register 20-2) control the signal  
polarity only when STRy = 1.  
The CWG auto-shutdown operation also applies to  
Steering modes as described in Section 20.11  
“Register Definitions: CWG Control”.  
Note:  
Only the WGSTRy bits are synchronized;  
the WGSDATy (data) bits are not  
synchronized.

Synchronous Steering Mode  
In Synchronous Steering mode (MODE<2:0> bits  
= 001, Register 20-1), changes to steering selection  
registers take effect on the next rising edge of the  
modulated data input (Figure 20-3). In Synchronous  
Steering mode, the output will always produce a  
complete waveform.

Asynchronous Steering Mode  
In Asynchronous mode (MODE<2:0> bits = 000,  
Register 20-1), steering takes effect at the end of the  
instruction cycle that writes to WGxSTR. In  
Asynchronous Steering mode, the output signal may  
be an incomplete waveform (Register 20-4). This  
operation may be useful when the user firmware needs  
to immediately remove a signal from the output pin.

Start-up Considerations  
The application hardware must use the proper external  
pull-up and/or pull-down resistors on the CWG output  
pins. This is required because all I/O pins are forced to  
high-impedance at Reset.  
The POLy bits (Register 20-2) allow the user to choose  
whether the output signals are active-high or active-  
low.

FULL-BRIDGE MODES  
In Forward and Reverse Full-Bridge modes, three out-  
puts drive static values while the fourth is modulated by  
the data input. Dead-band control is described in  
Section 20.2.3 “Steering Modes” and Section 20.6  
“Dead-Band Control”. Steering modes are not used  
with either of the Full-Bridge modes.  
The mode selection may be toggled between forward  
and reverse (changing MODE<2:0>) without clearing  
EN.  
When connected as shown in Figure 20-5, the outputs  
are appropriate for a full-bridge motor driver. Each  
CWG output signal has independent polarity control, so  
the circuit can be adapted to high-active and low-active  
drivers.

Full-Bridge Reverse Mode  
In Full-Bridge Forward mode (MODE<2:0> = 010),  
CWGxA is driven to its active state and CWGxD is  
modulated while CWGxB and CWGxC are driven to  
their inactive state, as illustrated at the top  
of Figure 20-6.  
In Full-Bridge Reverse mode (MODE<2:0> = 011),  
CWGxC is driven to its active state and CWGxB is  
modulated while CWGxA and CWGxD are driven to  
their inactive state, as illustrated at the bottom of  
Figure 20-6.

Direction Change in Full-Bridge  
Mode  
In Full-Bridge mode, changing MODE<2:0> controls  
the forward/reverse direction. Changes to MODE<2:0>  
change to the new direction on the next rising edge of  
the modulated input.  
A direction change is initiated in software by changing  
the MODE<2:0> bits of the WGxCON0 register. The  
sequence is illustrated in Figure 20-7.

Figure 20-7 shows an example of the CWG outputs  
changing directions from forward to reverse, at near  
100% duty cycle. In this example, at time t1, the output  
of CWGxA and CWGxD become inactive, while output  
CWGxC becomes active. Since the turn-off time of the  
power devices is longer than the turn-on time, a shoot-  
through current will flow through power devices QC and  
QD for the duration of ‘t’. The same phenomenon will  
occur to power devices QA and QB for the CWG  
direction change from reverse to forward.  
20.2.4.4  
Dead-Band Delay in Full-Bridge  
Mode  
Dead-band delay is important when either of the  
following conditions is true:  
1. The direction of the CWG output changes when  
the duty cycle of the data input is at or near  
100%, or  
2. The turn-off time of the power switch, including  
the power device and driver circuit, is greater  
than the turn-on time.  
If changing the CWG direction at high duty cycle is  
required for an application, two possible solutions for  
eliminating the shoot-through current are:  
The dead-band delay is inserted only when changing  
directions, and only the modulated output is affected.  
The statically-configured outputs (CWGxA and  
CWGxC) are not afforded dead band, and switch  
essentially simultaneously.  
1. Reduce the CWG duty cycle for one period  
before changing directions.  
2. Use switch drivers that can drive the switches off  
faster than they can drive them on.

POLARITY CONTROL  
20.3 Clock Source  
The polarity of each CWG output can be selected  
independently. When the output polarity bit is set, the  
corresponding output is active-low. Clearing the output  
polarity bit configures the corresponding output as  
active-high. However, polarity does not affect the  
override levels. Output polarity is selected with the  
POLy bits of the CWGxCON1 register.  
The clock source is used to drive the dead-band timing  
circuits. The CWGx module allows the following clock  
sources to be selected:  
• FOSC (system clock)  
• HFINTOSC (16 MHz only)  
When the HFINTOSC is selected the HFINTOSC will  
be kept running during Sleep. Therefore, CWG modes  
requiring dead band can operate in Sleep provided that  
the CWG data input is also active during Sleep. The  
clock sources are selected using the CS bit of the  
CWGxCLKCON register (Register 20-3).  
20.6 Dead-Band Control  
Dead-band control provides for non-overlapping output  
signals to prevent current shoot-through in power  
switches. The CWGx modules contain two 6-bit  
dead-band counters. These counters can be loaded  
with values that will determine the length of the dead  
band initiated on either the rising or falling edges of the  
input source. Dead-band control is used in either Half-  
Bridge or Full-Bridge modes.  
20.4 Selectable Input Sources  
The CWG generates the output waveforms from the  
input sources in Table 20-1.  
The rising-edge dead-band delay is determined by the  
rising dead-band count register (Register 20-8,  
CWGxDBR) and the falling-edge dead-band delay is  
determined by the falling dead-band count register  
(Register 20-9, CWGxDBF). Dead-band duration is  
established by counting the CWG clock periods from  
zero up to the value loaded into either the rising or fall-  
ing dead-band counter registers. The dead-band  
counters are incremented on every rising edge of the  
CWG clock source.

RISING EDGE AND REVERSE  
DEAD BAND  
In Half-Bridge mode, the rising edge dead band delays  
the turn-on of the CWGxA output after the rising edge  
of the CWG data input. In Full-Bridge mode, the  
reverse dead-band delay is only inserted when  
changing directions from Forward mode to Reverse  
mode, and only the modulated output CWGxB is  
affected.

The CWGxDBR register determines the duration of the  
dead-band interval on the rising edge of the input  
source signal. This duration is from 0 to 64 periods of  
the CWG clock.  
The input sources are selected using the DAT<3:0>  
bits in the CWGxDAT register (Register 20-4).  
Dead band is always initiated on the edge of the input  
source signal. A count of zero indicates that no dead  
band is present.  
20.5 Output Control  
If the input source signal reverses polarity before the  
dead-band count is completed then no output will be  
seen on the respective output.  
Immediately after the CWG module is enabled, the  
complementary drive is configured with all output  
drives cleared.  
The CWGxDBR register value is double-buffered. If  
EN = 0 (Register 20-1), the buffer is loaded when  
CWGxDBR is written. If EN = 1, then the buffer will be  
loaded at the rising edge, following the first falling edge  
of the data input after the LD bit (Register 20-1) is set.  
20.5.1  
CWGx OUTPUTS  
Each CWG output can be routed to a Peripheral Pin  
Select (PPS) output via the RxyPPS register (see  
Section 13.0 “Peripheral Pin Select (PPS)  
Module”).

In Half-Bridge mode, the falling edge dead band delays  
the turn-on of the CWGxB output at the falling edge of  
the CWGx data input. In Full-Bridge mode, the forward  
dead-band delay is only inserted when changing direc-  
tions from Reverse mode to Forward mode, and only  
the modulated output CWGxD is affected.

FCWG_CLOCK  
The CWGxDBF register determines the duration of the  
dead-band interval on the falling edge of the input  
source signal. This duration is from zero to 64 periods  
of the CWG clock.  
TJITTER = TDEAD BAND_MAX TDEAD BAND_MIN  
Dead band is always initiated on the edge of the input  
source signal. A count of zero indicates that no dead  
band is present.

TJITTER = --------------------------------  
FCWG_CLOCK  
If the input source signal reverses polarity before the  
dead-band count is completed, then no output will be  
seen on the respective output.  
TDEAD BAND_MAX = TDEAD BAND_MIN + TJITTER  
The CWGxDBF register value is double-buffered.  
When EN = 0 (Register 20-1), the buffer is loaded when  
CWGxDBF is written. If EN = 1, then the buffer will be  
loaded at the rising edge following the first falling edge  
of the data input after the LD (Register 20-1) is set.  
Example:  
DBR 4:0> = 0x0A = 10  
20.6.3  
DEAD-BAND JITTER  
FCWG_CLOCK = 8 MHz  
The CWG input data signal may be asynchronous to  
the CWG input clock, so some jitter may occur in the  
observed dead band in each cycle. The maximum jitter  
is equal to one CWG clock period. See Equation 20-1  
for details and an example.

Pin Override Levels  
20.7 Auto-Shutdown Control  
The levels driven to the CWG outputs during an auto-  
shutdown event are controlled by the LSBD<1:0> and  
LSAC<1:0> bits of the CWGxAS0 register  
(Register 20-6). The LSBD<1:0> bits control CWGxB/D  
output levels, while the LSAC<1:0> bits control the  
CWGxA/C output levels.  
Auto-shutdown is a method to immediately override the  
CWG output levels with specific overrides that allow for  
safe shutdown of the circuit. The shutdown state can  
be either cleared automatically or held until cleared by  
software.

When an auto-shutdown event occurs, either by  
software or hardware setting SHUTDOWN, the CWGxIF  
flag bit of the PIR4 register is set (Register 8-11).  
• Software generated  
• External input  
The SHUTDOWN bit indicates when a Shutdown  
condition exists. The bit may be set or cleared in  
software or by hardware.  
20.8 Auto-Shutdown Restart  
After an auto-shutdown event has occurred, there are  
two ways to resume operation:  
20.7.1.1  
Software-Generated Shutdown  
• Software controlled  
• Auto-restart  
Setting the SHUTDOWN bit of the CWGxAS0 register  
will force the CWG into the Shutdown state.  
In either case, the shutdown source must be cleared  
before the restart can take place. That is, either the  
Shutdown condition must be removed, or the  
corresponding WGASxE bit must be cleared.  
When auto-restart is disabled, the Shutdown state will  
persist as long as the SHUTDOWN bit is set.  
When auto-restart is enabled, the SHUTDOWN bit will  
clear automatically and resume operation on the next  
rising edge event.  
20.8.1  
SOFTWARE-CONTROLLED  
RESTART  
If the REN bit of the CWGxASD0 register is clear  
(REN = 0), the CWGx module must be restarted after  
an auto-shutdown event through software.  
20.7.1.2  
External Input Source Shutdown  
Any of the auto-shutdown external inputs can be  
selected to suspend the CWG operation. These  
sources are individually enabled by the ASxE bits of the  
CWGxAS1 register (Register 20-7). When any of the  
selected inputs goes active (pins are active-low), the  
CWG outputs will immediately switch to the override  
levels selected by the LSBD<1:0> and LSAC<1:0> bits  
without any software delay (Section 20.7.1.3 “Pin  
Override Levels”). Any of the following external input  
sources can be selected to cause a Shutdown  
condition:  
Once all auto-shutdown conditions are removed, the  
software must clear SHUTDOWN. Once SHUTDOWN  
is cleared, the CWG module will resume operation  
upon the first rising edge of the CWG data input.  
Note:  
SHUTDOWN bit cannot be cleared in  
software if the auto-shutdown condition is  
still present.  
• Comparator C1  
• Comparator C2  
• CLC2  
20.8.2  
AUTO-RESTART  
If the REN bit of the CWGxASD0 register is set  
(REN = 1), the CWGx module will restart from the  
shutdown state automatically.  
• CWGxPPS  
Once all auto-shutdown conditions are removed, the  
hardware will automatically clear SHUTDOWN. Once  
SHUTDOWN is cleared, the CWG module will resume  
operation upon the first rising edge of the CWG data  
input.  
Note:  
Shutdown inputs are level sensitive, not  
edge sensitive. The shutdown state  
cannot be cleared, except by disabling  
auto-shutdown, as long as the shutdown  
input level persists.  
Note:  
SHUTDOWN bit cannot be cleared in  
software if the auto-shutdown condition is  
still present.

20.9 Operation During Sleep  
The CWGx module will operate during Sleep, provided  
that the input sources remain active.  
If the HFINTOSC is selected as the module clock  
source, dead-band generation will remain active. This  
will have a direct effect on the Sleep mode current.  
20.10 Configuring the CWG  
1. Ensure that the TRIS control bits corresponding  
to CWG outputs are set so that all are  
configured as inputs, ensuring that the outputs  
are inactive during setup. External hardware  
may ensure that pin levels are held to safe  
levels.  
2. Clear the EN bit, if not already cleared.  
3. Configure the MODE<2:0> bits of the  
CWGxCON0 register to set the output operating  
mode.  
4. Configure the POLy bits of the CWGxCON1  
register to set the output polarities.  
5. Configure the DAT<3:0> bits of the CWGxDAT  
register to select the data input source.  
6. If a Steering mode is selected, configure the  
STRy bits to select the desired output on the  
CWG outputs.  
7. Configure the LSBD<1:0> and LSAC<1:0> bits  
of the CWGxAS0 register to select the auto-  
shutdown output override states (this is  
necessary even if not using auto-shutdown  
because start-up will be from a shutdown state).  
8. If auto-restart is desired, set the REN bit of  
CWGxAS0.  
9. If auto-shutdown is desired, configure the ASxE  
bits of the CWGxAS1 register to select the  
shutdown source.  
10. Set the desired rising and falling dead-band  
times with the CWGxDBR and CWGxDBF  
registers.  
11. Select the clock source in the CWGxCLKCON  
register.  
12. Set the EN bit to enable the module.  
13. Clear the TRIS bits that correspond to the CWG  
outputs to set them as outputs.  
14. If auto-restart is to be used, set the REN bit and  
the SHUTDOWN bit will be cleared  
automatically.  
Otherwise,  
clear  
the  
SHUTDOWN bit in software to start the CWG.

21.0 CONFIGURABLE LOGIC CELL  
(CLC)  
Possible configurations include:  
The Configurable Logic Cell (CLCx) provides  
programmable logic that operates outside the speed  
limitations of software execution. The logic cell takes up  
to 36 input signals and, through the use of configurable  
gates, reduces the 36 inputs to four logic lines that drive  
one of eight selectable single-output logic functions.  
Combinatorial Logic  
- AND  
- NAND  
- AND-OR  
- AND-OR-INVERT  
- OR-XOR  
Input sources are a combination of the following:  
- OR-XNOR  
• Latches  
• I/O pins  
- S-R  
• Internal clocks  
• Peripherals  
• Register bits  
- Clocked D with Set and Reset  
- Transparent D with Set and Reset  
- Clocked J-K with Reset  
The output can be directed internally to peripherals and  
to an output pin.

DATA SELECTION  
There are 36 signals available as inputs to the  
configurable logic.  
Data selection is through four multiplexers as indicated  
on the left side of Figure 21-2. Data inputs in the figure  
are identified by ‘LCx_in’ signal name.  
Table 21-1 correlates the input number to the actual  
signal for each CLC module. The column labeled  
‘LCxDyS<5:0> Value’ indicates the MUX selection code  
for the selected data input. LCxDyS is an abbreviation for  
the MUX select input codes: LCxD1S<5:0> through  
LCxD4S<5:0>.

21.1.2  
INPUT DATA SELECTION GATES  
21.1.3  
LOGIC FUNCTION  
Outputs from the input multiplexers are directed to the  
desired logic function input through the data gating  
stage. Each data gate can direct any combination of the  
four selected inputs.  
There are eight available logic functions, including:  
• AND-OR  
• OR-XOR  
• AND  
The gate can be configured to direct each input signal  
as inverted or non-inverted data. The output of each  
gate can be inverted before going on to the logic func-  
tion stage.  
• S-R Latch  
• D Flip-Flop with Set and Reset  
• D Flip-Flop with Reset  
• J-K Flip-Flop with Reset  
• Transparent Latch with Set and Reset  
The gating is in essence  
a
1-to-4 input  
AND/NAND/OR/NOR gate. When every input is  
inverted and the output is inverted, the gate is an OR of  
all enabled data inputs. When the inputs and output are  
not inverted, the gate is an AND of all enabled inputs.  
Logic functions are shown in Figure 21-3. Each logic  
function has four inputs and one output. The four inputs  
are the four data gate outputs of the previous stage.  
The output is fed to the inversion stage and from there  
to other peripherals, an output pin, and back to the  
CLCx itself.  
Table 21-2 summarizes the basic logic that can be  
obtained in gate 1 by using the gate logic select bits  
and gate polarity bits. The table shows the logic of four  
input variables, but each gate can be configured to  
use less than four. If no inputs are selected, the output  
will be zero or one, depending on the gate output  
polarity bit.  
21.1.4  
OUTPUT POLARITY  
The last stage in the configurable logic cell is the output  
polarity. Setting the LCxPOL bit of the CLCxPOL  
register inverts the output signal from the logic stage.  
Changing the polarity while the interrupts are enabled  
will cause an interrupt for the resulting output transition.

It is possible (but not recommended) to select both the  
true and negated values of an input. When this is done,  
the gate output is zero, regardless of the other inputs,  
but may emit logic glitches (transient-induced pulses).  
If the output of the channel must be zero or one, the  
recommended method is to set all gate bits to zero and  
use the gate polarity bit to set the desired level.  
Data gating is configured with the logic gate select  
registers as follows:  
• Gate 1: CLCxGLS0 (Register 21-7)  
• Gate 2: CLCxGLS1 (Register 21-8)  
• Gate 3: CLCxGLS2 (Register 21-9)  
• Gate 4: CLCxGLS3 (Register 21-10)  
Register number suffixes are different than the gate  
numbers because other variations of this module have  
multiple gate selections in the same register.  
Data gating is indicated in the right side of Figure 21-2.  
Only one gate is shown in detail. The remaining three  
gates are configured identically with the exception that  
the data enables correspond to the enables for that  
gate.

21.2 CLCx Interrupts  
21.6 CLCx Setup Steps  
An interrupt will be generated upon a change in the  
output value of the CLCx when the appropriate interrupt  
enables are set. A rising edge detector and a falling  
edge detector are present in each CLC for this purpose.  
The following steps will be followed when setting up the  
CLCx:  
• Disable CLCx by clearing the LCxEN bit.  
• Select desired inputs using CLCxSEL0 through  
CLCxSEL3 registers (See Table 21-1).  
• Clear any associated ANSEL bits.  
• Set all TRIS bits associated with external CLC  
inputs.  
• Enable the chosen inputs through the four gates  
using CLCxGLS0, CLCxGLS1, CLCxGLS2, and  
CLCxGLS3 registers.  
The CLCxIF bit of the associated PIR3 register will be  
set when either edge detector is triggered and its  
associated enable bit is set. The LCxINTP bit enables  
rising edge interrupts and the LCxINTN bit enables fall-  
ing edge interrupts. Both are located in the CLCxCON  
register.  
To fully enable the interrupt, set the following bits:  
• Select the gate output polarities with the  
LCxGyPOL bits of the CLCxPOL register.  
• Select the desired logic function with the  
LCxMODE<2:0> bits of the CLCxCON register.  
• Select the desired polarity of the logic output with  
the LCxPOL bit of the CLCxPOL register. (This  
step may be combined with the previous gate  
output polarity step).  
• CLCxIE bit of the PIE3 register  
• LCxINTP bit of the CLCxCON register (for a rising  
edge detection)  
• LCxINTN bit of the CLCxCON register (for a  
falling edge detection)  
• PEIE and GIE bits of the INTCON register  
The CLCxIF bit of the PIR3 register, must be cleared in  
software as part of the interrupt service. If another edge  
is detected while this flag is being cleared, the flag will  
still be set at the end of the sequence.  
• If driving a device pin, set the desired pin PPS  
control register and also clear the TRIS bit  
corresponding to that output.  
• If interrupts are desired, configure the following  
bits:  
- Set the LCxINTP bit in the CLCxCON register  
for rising event.  
- Set the LCxINTN bit in the CLCxCON  
register for falling event.  
- Set the CLCxIE bit of the PIE3 register.  
- Set the GIE and PEIE bits of the INTCON  
register.  
21.3 Output Mirror Copies  
Mirror copies of all LCxCON output bits are contained  
in the CLCDATA register. Reading this register  
samples the outputs of all CLCs simultaneously. This  
prevents any timing skew introduced by testing or  
reading the LCxOUT bits in the individual CLCxCON  
registers.  
• Enable the CLCx by setting the LCxEN bit of the  
CLCxCON register.  
21.4 Effects of a Reset  
The CLCxCON register is cleared to zero as the result  
of a Reset. All other selection and gating values remain  
unchanged.  
21.5 Operation During Sleep  
The CLC module operates independently from the  
system clock and will continue to run during Sleep,  
provided that the input sources selected remain active.  
The HFINTOSC remains active during Sleep when the  
CLC module is enabled and the HFINTOSC is  
selected as an input source, regardless of the system  
clock source selected.  
In other words, if the HFINTOSC is simultaneously  
selected as the system clock and as a CLC input  
source, when the CLC is enabled, the CPU will go idle  
during Sleep, but the CLC will continue to operate and  
the HFINTOSC will remain active.  
This will have a direct effect on the Sleep mode current.

PIC16(L)F18326/18346  
The ADC can generate an interrupt upon completion of  
a conversion. This interrupt can be used to wake-up the  
device from Sleep.  
22.0 ANALOG-TO-DIGITAL  
CONVERTER (ADC) MODULE  
The Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) allows  
conversion of an analog input signal to a 10-bit binary  
representation of that signal. This device uses analog  
inputs, which are multiplexed into a single sample and  
hold circuit. The output of the sample and hold is  
connected to the input of the converter. The converter  
generates a 10-bit binary result via successive  
approximation and stores the conversion result into the  
ADC result registers (ADRESH:ADRESL register pair).  
Figure 22-1 shows the block diagram of the ADC.  
The ADC voltage reference is software selectable to be  
either internally generated or externally supplied.

22.1.3  
ADC VOLTAGE REFERENCE  
22.1 ADC Configuration  
The ADPREF<1:0> bits of the ADCON1 register  
provides control of the positive voltage reference. The  
positive voltage reference can be:  
When configuring and using the ADC the following  
functions must be considered:  
• Port configuration  
• Channel selection  
• ADC voltage reference selection  
• ADC conversion clock source  
• Interrupt control  
• VREF+ pin  
• VDD  
• FVR 2.048V  
• FVR 4.096V (Not available on LF devices)  
• Result formatting  
The ADNREF bit of the ADCON1 register provides  
control of the negative voltage reference. The negative  
voltage reference can be:  
22.1.1  
PORT CONFIGURATION  
The ADC can be used to convert both analog and  
digital signals. When converting analog signals, the I/O  
pin will be configured for analog by setting the  
associated TRIS and ANSEL bits. Refer to  
Section 12.0 “I/O Ports” for more information.  
• VREF- pin  
• VSS  
See Section 22.0 “Analog-to-Digital Converter  
(ADC) Module” for more details on the Fixed Voltage  
Reference.  
Note:  
Analog voltages on any pin that is defined  
as a digital input may cause the input  
buffer to conduct excess current.  
22.1.4  
CONVERSION CLOCK  
The source of the conversion clock is software  
selectable via the ADCS<2:0> bits of the ADCON1  
register. There are seven possible clock options:  
22.1.2  
CHANNEL SELECTION  
There are several channel selections available:  
• FOSC/2  
• FOSC/4  
• FOSC/8  
• FOSC/16  
• FOSC/32  
• FOSC/64  
• ADCRC (dedicated RC oscillator)  
• Five PORTA pins (RA0-RA2, RA4-RA5)  
• Four PORTB pins (RB4-RB7, PIC16(L)F18346  
only)  
• Six PORTC pins (RC0-RC5, PIC16(L)F18326)  
• Eight PORTC pins (RC0-RC7, PIC16(L)F18346  
only)  
Temperature Indicator  
• DAC output  
• Fixed Voltage Reference (FVR)  
• VSS (ground)  
The time to complete one bit conversion is defined as  
TAD. One full 10-bit conversion requires 12 TAD periods  
as shown in Figure 22-2.  
For correct conversion, the appropriate TAD specification  
must be met. Refer to Table 35-13 for more information.  
Table 22-1 gives examples of appropriate ADC clock  
selections.  
The CHS<5:0> bits of the ADCON0 register  
(Register 22-1) determine which channel is connected  
to the sample and hold circuit.  
When changing channels, a delay is required before  
starting the next conversion. Refer to Section 22.2  
“ADC Operation” for more information.  
Note:  
Unless using the ADCRC, any changes in  
the system clock frequency will change  
the ADC clock frequency, which may  
adversely affect the ADC result.  
Note:  
It is recommended that when switching  
from an ADC channel of a higher voltage  
to a channel of a lower voltage, that the  
user selects the Vss channel before  
connecting to the channel with the lower  
voltage. If the ADC does not have a  
dedicated VSS input channel, the VSS  
selection (DAC1R<4:0> = b'00000')  
through the DAC output channel can be  
used. If the DAC is in use, a free input  
channel can be connected to Vss, and can  
be used in place of the DAC.

INTERRUPTS  
22.1.6  
RESULT FORMATTING  
The ADC module allows for the ability to generate an  
interrupt upon completion of an Analog-to-Digital  
conversion. The ADC Interrupt Flag is the ADIF bit in  
the PIR1 register. The ADC Interrupt Enable is the  
ADIE bit in the PIE1 register. The ADIF bit must be  
cleared in software.  
The 10-bit ADC conversion result can be supplied in  
two formats, left justified or right justified. The ADFM bit  
of the ADCON1 register controls the output format.  
Figure 22-3 shows the two output formats.  
Note 1: The ADIF bit is set at the completion of  
every conversion, regardless of whether  
or not the ADC interrupt is enabled.  
2: The ADC operates during Sleep only  
when the ADCRC oscillator is selected.  
This interrupt can be generated while the device is  
operating or while in Sleep. If the device is in Sleep, the  
interrupt will wake-up the device. Upon waking from  
Sleep, the next instruction following the SLEEP  
instruction is always executed. If the user is attempting  
to wake-up from Sleep and resume in-line code  
execution, the ADIE bit of the PIE1 register and the  
PEIE bit of the INTCON register must both be set and  
the GIE bit of the INTCON register must be cleared. If  
all three of these bits are set, the execution will switch  
to the Interrupt Service Routine (ISR).

ADC OPERATION DURING SLEEP  
22.2 ADC Operation  
The ADC module can operate during Sleep. This  
requires the ADC clock source to be set to the ADCRC  
option. When the ADCRC oscillator source is selected,  
the ADC waits one additional instruction before starting  
the conversion. This allows the SLEEPinstruction to be  
executed, which can reduce system noise during the  
conversion. If the ADC interrupt is enabled, the device  
will wake-up from Sleep when the conversion  
completes. If the ADC interrupt is disabled, the ADC  
module is turned off after the conversion completes,  
although the ADON bit remains set.  
22.2.1  
STARTING A CONVERSION  
To enable the ADC module, the ADON bit of the  
ADCON0 register must be set to a ‘1’. Setting the  
GO/DONE bit of the ADCON0 register to a ‘1’ will start  
the Analog-to-Digital conversion.  
Note:  
The GO/DONE bit will not be set in the  
same instruction that turns on the ADC.  
Refer to Section 22.2.5 “ADC Conver-  
sion Procedure”.  
When the ADC clock source is something other than  
ADCRC, a SLEEP instruction causes the present  
conversion to be aborted and the ADC module is  
turned off, although the ADON bit remains set.  
22.2.2  
COMPLETION OF A CONVERSION  
When the conversion is complete, the ADC module will:  
• Clear the GO/DONE bit  
• Set the ADIF Interrupt Flag bit  
• Update the ADRESH and ADRESL registers with  
new conversion result  
22.2.4  
AUTO-CONVERSION TRIGGER  
The Auto-conversion Trigger allows periodic ADC  
measurements without software intervention. When a  
rising edge of the selected source occurs, the  
GO/DONE bit is set by hardware.  
Note:  
A device Reset forces all registers to their  
Reset state. Thus, the ADC module is  
turned off and any pending conversion is  
terminated.  
The Auto-conversion Trigger source is selected with  
the ADACT<4:0> bits of the ADACT register.  
See Table 22-2 for auto-conversion sources.

PIC16(L)F18326/18346  
As the source impedance is decreased, the acquisition  
time may be decreased. After the analog input channel  
is selected (or changed), an ADC acquisition must be  
done before the conversion can be started. To calculate  
the minimum acquisition time, Equation 22-1 may be  
used. This equation assumes that 1/2 LSb error is used  
(1,024 steps for the ADC). The 1/2 LSb error is the  
maximum error allowed for the ADC to meet its  
specified resolution.  
22.3 ADC Acquisition Requirements  
For the ADC to meet its specified accuracy, the charge  
holding capacitor (CHOLD) must be allowed to fully  
charge to the input channel voltage level. The Analog  
Input model is shown in Figure 22-4. The source  
impedance (RS) and the internal sampling switch (RSS)  
impedance directly affect the time required to charge  
the capacitor CHOLD. The sampling switch (RSS)  
impedance varies over the device voltage (VDD), refer  
to Figure 22-4. The maximum recommended  
impedance for analog sources is 10 k.  
EQUATION 22-1: ACQUISITION TIME EXAMPLE  
Temperature = 50°C and external impedance of 10k5.0V VDD  
Assumptions:  
TACQ = Amplifier Settling Time + Hold Capacitor Charging Time + Temperature Coefficient  
= TAMP + TC + TCOFF  
= 2µs + TC + Temperature - 25°C0.05µs/°C  
The value for TC can be approximated with the following equations:  
1
;[1] VCHOLD charged to within 1/2 lsb  
VAPPLIED1 -------------------------- = VCHOLD  
2n + 11  
TC  
---------  
RC  
VAPPLIED 1 e  
= VCHOLD  
;[2] VCHOLD charge response to VAPPLIED  
;combining [1] and [2]  
Tc  
--------  
RC  
1
= VAPPLIED1 --------------------------  
2n + 11  
VAPPLIED 1 e  
Note: Where n = number of bits of the ADC.  
Solving for TC:  
TC = CHOLDRIC + RSS + RSln(1/2047)  
= 10pF1k+ 7k+ 10kln(0.0004885)  
= 1.37µs  
Therefore:  
TACQ = 2µs + 892ns + 50°C- 25°C0.05µs/°C  
= 4.62µs  
Note 1: The reference voltage (VREF) has no effect on the equation, since it cancels itself out.  
2: The charge holding capacitor (CHOLD) is not discharged after each conversion.  
3: The maximum recommended impedance for analog sources is 10 k. This is required to meet the pin  
leakage specification.

23.0 NUMERICALLY CONTROLLED  
OSCILLATOR (NCO1) MODULE  
The Numerically Controlled Oscillator (NCO1) module  
is a timer that uses the overflow from the addition of an  
increment value to divide the input frequency. The  
advantage of the addition method over simple  
counter-driven timer is that the output frequency  
resolution does not vary with the divider value. The  
NCO1 is most useful for applications that require  
frequency accuracy and fine resolution at a fixed duty  
cycle.  
Features of the NCO1 include:  
• 20-bit increment function  
• Fixed Duty Cycle (FDC) mode  
• Pulse Frequency (PF) mode  
• Output pulse-width control  
• Multiple clock input sources  
• Output polarity control  
• Interrupt capability  
Figure 23-1 is a simplified block diagram of the NCO1  
module.

PIC16(L)F18326/18346  
23.1 NCO1 Operation  
The NCO1 operates by repeatedly adding a fixed value  
to an accumulator. Additions occur at the input clock  
rate. The accumulator will overflow with a carry  
periodically, which is the raw NCO1 output  
(NCO_overflow). This effectively reduces the input  
clock by the ratio of the addition value to the maximum  
accumulator value. See Equation 23-1.  
The NCO1 output can be further modified by stretching  
the pulse or toggling a flip-flop. The modified NCO1  
output is then distributed internally to other peripherals  
and can optionally be output to a pin. The accumulator  
overflow also generates an interrupt (NCO_interrupt).  
The NCO1 period changes in discrete steps to create  
an average frequency.

23.1.1  
NCO1 CLOCK SOURCES  
23.1.4  
INCREMENT REGISTERS  
Clock sources available to the NCO1 include:  
The increment value is stored in three registers making  
up a 20-bit increment. In order of LSB to MSB they are:  
• HFINTOSC  
• FOSC  
• LC1_out  
• NCO1INCL  
• NCO1INCH  
• NCO1INCU  
The NCO1 clock source is selected by configuring the  
N1CKS<1:0> bits in the NCO1CLK register.  
When the NCO1 module is enabled, the NCO1INCU  
and NCO1INCH registers should be written first, then  
the NCO1INCL register. Writing to the NCO1INCL  
register initiates the increment buffer registers to be  
loaded simultaneously on the second rising edge of the  
NCO_clk signal.  
23.1.2  
ACCUMULATOR  
The accumulator is a 20-bit register. Read and write  
access to the accumulator is available through three  
registers:  
The registers are readable and writable. The increment  
registers are double-buffered to allow value changes to  
be made without first disabling the NCO1 module.  
• NCO1ACCL  
• NCO1ACCH  
• NCO1ACCU  
When the NCO1 module is disabled, the increment  
buffers are loaded immediately after a write to the  
increment registers.  
23.1.3  
ADDER  
The NCO1 adder is a full adder, which operates  
independently from the system clock. The addition of  
the previous result and the increment value replaces  
the accumulator value on the rising edge of each input  
clock.  
Note:  
The increment buffer registers are not  
user-accessible.

23.2 Fixed Duty Cycle (FDC) Mode  
23.4 Output Polarity Control  
In Fixed Duty Cycle (FDC) mode, every time the  
accumulator overflows (NCO_overflow), the output is  
toggled. This provides a 50% duty cycle with a constant  
frequency, provided that the increment value remains  
constant.  
The last stage in the NCO1 module is the output  
polarity. The N1POL bit in the NCO1CON register  
selects the output polarity. Changing the polarity while  
the interrupts are enabled will cause an interrupt for the  
resulting output transition.  
The FDC frequency can be calculated using  
Equation 23-2.The FDC frequency is half of the  
overflow frequency since it takes two overflow events  
to generate one FDC clock period. For more  
information, see Figure 23-2.  
The NCO1 output can be used internally by source  
code or other peripherals. Accomplish this by reading  
the N1OUT (read-only) bit of the NCO1CON register.  
The NCO1 output signal is available to the following  
peripherals:  
• CWG  
EQUATION 23-2: FDC FREQUENCY  
F
= F  
2  
fdc  
overflow  
The FDC mode is selected by clearing the N1PFM bit  
in the NCO1CON register.  
23.3 Pulse Frequency (PF) Mode  
In Pulse Frequency (PF) mode, every time the  
accumulator overflows (NCO_overflow), the output  
becomes active for one or more clock periods. Once  
the clock period expires, the output returns to an  
inactive state. This provides a pulsed output. The  
output becomes active on the rising clock edge  
immediately following the overflow event. For more  
information, see Figure 23-2.  
The value of the active and inactive states depends on  
the polarity bit, N1POL, in the NCO1CON register.  
The PF mode is selected by setting the N1PFM bit in  
the NCO1CON register.  
23.3.1  
OUTPUT PULSE-WIDTH CONTROL  
When operating in PF mode, the active state of the  
output can vary in width by multiple clock periods.  
Various pulse widths are selected with the  
N1PWS<2:0> bits in the NCO1CLK register.  
When the selected pulse width is greater than the  
accumulator overflow time frame, the output of the  
NCO1 does not toggle.

23.5 Interrupts  
When the accumulator overflows (NCO_overflow), the  
NCO1 Interrupt Flag bit, NCO1IF, of the PIR2 register  
is set. To enable the interrupt event (NCO_interrupt),  
the following bits must be set:  
• N1EN bit of the NCO1CON register  
• NCO1IE bit of the PIE2 register  
• PEIE bit of the INTCON register  
• GIE bit of the INTCON register  
The interrupt must be cleared by software by clearing  
the NCO1IF bit in the Interrupt Service Routine.  
23.6 Effects of a Reset  
All of the NCO1 registers are cleared to zero as the  
result of a Reset.  
23.7 Operation in Sleep  
The NCO1 module operates independently from the  
system clock and will continue to run during Sleep,  
provided that the clock source selected remains active.  
The HFINTOSC remains active during Sleep when the  
NCO1 module is enabled and the HFINTOSC is  
selected as the clock source, regardless of the system  
clock source selected.  
In other words, if the HFINTOSC is simultaneously  
selected as the system clock and the NCO1 clock  
source, when the NCO1 is enabled, the CPU will go  
idle during Sleep, but the NCO1 will continue to operate  
and the HFINTOSC will remain active.  
This will have a direct effect on the Sleep mode current.

24.0 5-BIT DIGITAL-TO-ANALOG  
CONVERTER (DAC1) MODULE  
The DAC has 32 voltage level ranges. The 32 levels  
are set with the DAC1R<4:0> bits of the DAC1CON1  
register.  
The Digital-to-Analog Converter supplies a variable  
voltage reference, ratiometric with the input source,  
with 32 selectable output levels.  
The DAC output voltage is determined by Equation 24-1:  
The input of the DAC can be connected to:  
• External VREF pins  
• VDD supply voltage  
• FVR (Fixed Voltage Reference)  
The output of the DAC can be configured to supply a  
reference voltage to the following:  
• Comparator positive input  
• ADC input channel  
• DAC1OUT pin

24.2 Ratiometric Output Level  
The DAC output value is derived using a resistor ladder  
with each end of the ladder tied to a positive and  
negative voltage reference input source. If the voltage  
of either input source fluctuates, a similar fluctuation will  
result in the DAC output value.  
The value of the individual resistors within the ladder  
can be found in Table 35-15.  
24.3 DAC Voltage Reference Output  
The DAC voltage can be output to the DAC1OUT pin by  
setting the DAC1OE bit of the DAC1CON0 register.  
Selecting the DAC reference voltage for output on the  
DAC1OUT pin automatically overrides the digital  
output buffer and digital input threshold detector  
functions, it disables the weak pull-up and the  
constant-current drive function of that pin. Reading the  
DAC1OUT pin when it has been configured for DAC  
reference voltage output will always return a ‘0’.  
Due to the limited current drive capability, a buffer must  
be used on the DAC voltage reference output for  
external connections to the DAC1OUT pin. Figure 24-2  
shows an example buffering technique.

24.5 Effects of a Reset  
The DAC continues to function during Sleep. When the  
device wakes up from Sleep through an interrupt or a  
Watchdog Timer time-out, the contents of the  
DAC1CON0 register are not affected.  
A device Reset affects the following:  
• DAC is disabled.  
• DAC output voltage is removed from the  
DAC1OUT pin.  
• The DAC1R<4:0> range select bits are cleared.

25.0 DATA SIGNAL MODULATOR  
(DSM) MODULE  
The Data Signal Modulator (DSM) is a peripheral which  
allows the user to mix a data stream, also known as a  
modulator signal, with a carrier signal to produce a  
modulated output.  
Both the carrier and the modulator signals are supplied  
to the DSM module either internally from the output of  
a peripheral, or externally through an input pin.  
The modulated output signal is generated by  
performing a logical “AND” operation of both the carrier  
and modulator signals and then provided to the MDOUT  
pin.  
The carrier signal is comprised of two distinct and  
separate signals. A carrier high (CARH) signal and a  
carrier low (CARL) signal. During the time in which the  
modulator (MOD) signal is in a logic high state, the  
DSM mixes the carrier high signal with the modulator  
signal. When the modulator signal is in a logic low  
state, the DSM mixes the carrier low signal with the  
modulator signal.  
Using this method, the DSM can generate the following  
types of key modulation schemes:  
• Frequency-Shift Keying (FSK)  
• Phase-Shift Keying (PSK)  
• On-Off Keying (OOK)  
Additionally, the following features are provided within  
the DSM module:  
• Carrier Synchronization  
• Carrier Source Polarity Select  
• Carrier Source Pin Disable  
• Programmable Modulator Data  
• Modulator Source Pin Disable  
• Modulated Output Polarity Select  
• Slew Rate Control  
Figure 25-1 shows a simplified block diagram of the  
Data Signal Modulator peripheral.

25.1 DSM Operation  
25.3 Carrier Signal Sources  
The DSM module can be enabled by setting the MDEN  
bit in the MDCON register. Clearing the MDEN bit in the  
MDCON register, disables the DSM module by auto-  
matically switching the carrier high and carrier low sig-  
nals to the VSS signal source. The modulator signal  
source is also switched to the MDBIT in the MDCON  
register. This not only assures that the DSM module is  
inactive, but that it is also consuming the least amount  
of current.  
The carrier high signal and carrier low signal can be  
supplied from the following sources:  
• CCP1 Output  
• CCP2 Output  
• PWM5 Output  
• PWM6 Output  
• NCO1 Output  
• FOSC (System Clock)  
• HFINTOSC  
The values used to select the carrier high, carrier low,  
and modulator sources held by the Modulation Source,  
Modulation High Carrier, and Modulation Low Carrier  
control registers are not affected when the MDEN bit is  
cleared and the DSM module is disabled. The values  
inside these registers remain unchanged while the  
DSM is inactive. The sources for the carrier high, car-  
rier low and modulator signals will once again be  
selected when the MDEN bit is set and the DSM  
module is again enabled and active.  
• CLC1 Output  
• CLC2 Output  
• CLC3 Output  
• CLC4 Output  
• CLKR  
• External Signal on MDCIN1 pin  
• External Signal on MDCIN2 pin  
• Vss  
The carrier high signal is selected by configuring the  
MDCH <3:0> bits in the MDCARH register. The carrier  
low signal is selected by configuring the MDCL <3:0>  
bits in the MDCARL register.  
The modulated output signal can be disabled without  
shutting down the DSM module. The DSM module will  
remain active and continue to mix signals, but the out-  
put value will not be sent to the DSM pin. During the  
time that the output is disabled, the DSM pin will remain  
low. The modulated output can be disabled by clearing  
the MDEN bit in the MDCON register.  
25.4 Carrier Synchronization  
During the time when the DSM switches between  
carrier high and carrier low signal sources, the carrier  
data in the modulated output signal can become  
truncated. To prevent this, the carrier signal can be  
synchronized to the modulator signal. When the  
modulator signal transitions away from the  
synchronized carrier, the unsynchronized carrier  
source is immediately active, while the synchronized  
carrier remains active until its next falling edge. When  
the modulator signal transitions back to the  
synchronized carrier, the unsynchronized carrier is  
immediately disabled, and the modulator waits until the  
next falling edge of the synchronized carrier before the  
synchronized carrier becomes active.  
25.2 Modulator Signal Sources  
The modulator signal can be supplied from the  
following sources:  
• CCP1 Output  
• CCP2 Output  
• PWM5 Output  
• PWM6 Output  
• MSSP1 SDO1 (SPI mode only)  
• MSSP2 SDO2 (SPI mode only)  
• Comparator C1 Output  
• Comparator C2 Output  
• EUSART1 TX Output  
• External Signal on MDMIN pin  
• NCO1 Output  
Synchronization is enabled separately for the carrier  
high and carrier low signal sources. Synchronization for  
the carrier high signal is enabled by setting the  
MDCHSYNC bit in the MDCARH register.  
Synchronization for the carrier low signal is enabled by  
setting the MDCLSYNC bit in the MDCARL register.  
• CLC1 Output  
• CLC2 Output  
• CLC3 Output  
• CLC4 Output  
• MDBIT bit in the MDCON register  
Figure 25-1 through Figure 25-6 show timing diagrams  
of using various synchronization methods.  
The modulator signal is selected by configuring the  
MDMS <3:0> bits in the MDSRC register.

25.5 Carrier Source Polarity Select  
The signal provided from any selected input source for  
the carrier high and carrier low signals can be inverted.  
Inverting the signal for the carrier high source is  
enabled by setting the MDCHPOL bit of the MDCARH  
register. Inverting the signal for the carrier low source is  
enabled by setting the MDCLPOL bit of the MDCARL  
register.  
25.6 Programmable Modulator Data  
The MDBIT of the MDCON register can be selected as  
the source for the modulator signal. This gives the user  
the ability to program the value used for modulation.  
25.7 Modulated Output Polarity  
The modulated output signal provided on the DSM pin  
can also be inverted. Inverting the modulated output  
signal is enabled by setting the MDOPOL bit of the  
MDCON register.  
25.8 Slew Rate Control  
The slew rate limitation on the output port pin can be  
disabled. The slew rate limitation can be removed by  
clearing the SLR bit of the SLRCON register  
associated with that pin. For example, clearing the slew  
rate limitation for pin RA5 would require clearing the  
SLRA5 bit of the SLRCONA register.  
25.9 Operation in Sleep Mode  
The DSM module is not affected by Sleep mode. The  
DSM can still operate during Sleep, if the Carrier and  
Modulator input sources are also still operable during  
Sleep.  
25.10 Effects of a Reset  
Upon any device Reset, the DSM module is disabled.  
The user’s firmware is responsible for initializing the  
module before enabling the output. The registers are  
reset to their default values.

26.1.2  
8-BIT MODE  
26.0 TIMER0 MODULE  
In normal operation, TMR0 increments on the rising  
edge of the clock source. A 15-bit prescaler on the  
clock input gives several prescale options (see  
prescaler control bits, T0CKPS<3:0> in the T0CON1  
register).  
The Timer0 module is an 8/16-bit timer/counter with the  
following features:  
• 16-bit timer/counter  
• 8-bit timer/counter with programmable period  
• Synchronous or asynchronous operation  
• Selectable clock sources  
In 8-bit mode, TMR0H no longer functions as the  
Timer0 high byte, but instead functions as the Period  
Register (PR). The value of TMR0L is compared to that  
of TMR0H on each clock cycle. When the two values  
match, the following events happen:  
• Programmable  
Watchdog Timer)  
prescaler  
(independent  
of  
• Programmable postscaler  
• Operation during Sleep mode  
• Interrupt on match or overflow  
• TMR0_out goes high for one prescaled clock  
period  
• TMR0L is reset  
• Output on I/O pin (via PPS) or to other peripherals  
• The contents of TMR0H are copied to the period  
buffer  
26.1 Timer0 Operation  
In 8-bit mode, the TMR0L and TMR0H registers are  
both directly readable and writable. The TMR0L  
register is cleared on any device Reset, while the  
TMR0H register initializes at FFh.  
Timer0 can operate as either an 8-bit timer/counter or  
a 16-bit timer/counter. The mode is selected with the  
T016BIT bit of the T0CON register.  
When used with an FOSC/4 clock source, the module is  
a timer and increments on every instruction cycle.  
When used with any other clock source, the module  
can be used as either a timer or a counter and  
increments on every rising edge of the external source.  
Both the prescaler and postscaler counters are cleared  
on the following events:  
• A write to the TMR0L register  
• A write to either the T0CON0 or T0CON1  
registers.  
26.1.1  
16-BIT MODE  
• Any device Reset – Power-on Reset (POR),  
MCLR Reset, Watchdog Timer Reset (WDTR) or  
Brown-out Reset (BOR)  
In normal operation, TMR0 increments on the rising  
edge of the clock source. A 15-bit prescaler on the  
clock input gives several prescale options (see  
prescaler control bits, T0CKPS<3:0> in the T0CON1  
register).  
26.1.3  
COUNTER MODE  
In Counter mode, the prescaler is normally disabled by  
setting the T0CKPS bits of the T0CON1 register to  
0000’. Each rising edge of the clock input (or the  
output of the prescaler if the prescaler is used)  
increments the counter by ‘1’.  
26.1.1.1  
Timer0 Reads and Writes in 16-bit  
Mode  
TMR0H is not the actual high byte of Timer0 in 16-bit  
mode. It is actually a buffered version of the real high  
byte of Timer0, which is neither directly readable nor  
writable (see Figure 26-1). TMR0H is updated with the  
contents of the high byte of Timer0 during a read of  
TMR0L. This provides the ability to read all 16 bits of  
Timer0 without having to verify that the read of the high  
and low byte was valid, due to a rollover between  
successive reads of the high and low byte.  
26.1.4  
TIMER MODE  
In Timer mode, the Timer0 module will increment every  
instruction cycle as long as there is a valid clock signal  
and the T0CKPS bits of the T0CON1 register  
(Register 26-4) are set to ‘0000’. When a prescaler is  
added, the timer will increment at the rate based on the  
prescaler value.  
Similarly, a write to the high byte of Timer0 must also  
take place through the TMR0H Buffer register. The high  
byte is updated with the contents of TMR0H when a  
write occurs to TMR0L. This allows all 16 bits of Timer0  
to be updated at once.  
26.1.5  
ASYNCHRONOUS MODE  
When the T0ASYNC bit of the T0CON1 register is set  
(T0ASYNC = 1), the counter increments with each  
rising edge of the input source (or output of the  
prescaler, if used). Asynchronous mode allows the  
counter to continue operation during Sleep mode  
provided that the clock also continues to operate during  
Sleep.

26.1.6  
SYNCHRONOUS MODE  
26.6 Timer0 Interrupts  
When the T0ASYNC bit of the T0CON1 register is clear  
(T0ASYNC = 0), the counter clock is synchronized to  
the system oscillator (FOSC/4). When operating in  
Synchronous mode, the counter clock frequency  
cannot exceed FOSC/4.  
The Timer0 Interrupt Flag bit (TMR0IF) is set when  
either of the following conditions occur:  
• 8-bit TMR0L matches the TMR0H value  
• 16-bit TMR0 rolls over from FFFFh  
When the postscaler bits (T0OUTPS<3:0>) are set to  
1:1 operation (no division), the T0IF Flag bit will be set  
with every TMR0 match or rollover. In general, the  
TMR0IF Flag bit will be set every T0OUTPS +1  
matches or rollovers.  
26.2 Clock Source Selection  
The T0CS<2:0> bits of the T0CON1 register are used  
to select the clock source for Timer0. Register 26-4  
displays the clock source selections.  
If Timer0 interrupts are enabled (TMR0IE bit of the  
PIE0 register = 1), the CPU will be interrupted and the  
device may wake from Sleep (see Section 26.5  
“Operation During Sleep” for more details).  
26.2.1  
INTERNAL CLOCK SOURCE  
When the internal clock source is selected, Timer0  
operates as a timer and will increment on multiples of  
the clock source, as determined by the Timer0  
prescaler.  
26.7 Timer0 Output  
The Timer0 output can be routed to any I/O pin via the  
RxyPPS output selection register (see Section 13.0  
“Peripheral Pin Select (PPS) Module” for additional  
information). The Timer0 output can also be used by  
other peripherals, such as the auto-conversion trigger  
of the Analog-to-Digital Converter. Finally, the Timer0  
output can be monitored through software via the  
Timer0 Output bit (T0OUT) of the T0CON0 register  
(Register 26-3).  
26.2.2  
EXTERNAL CLOCK SOURCE  
When an external clock source is selected, Timer0 can  
operate as either a timer or a counter. Timer0 will  
increment on multiples of the rising edge of the external  
clock source, as determined by the Timer0 prescaler.  
26.3 Programmable Prescaler  
A software programmable prescaler is available for  
exclusive use with Timer0. There are 16 prescaler  
options for Timer0 ranging in powers of two from 1:1 to  
1:32768. The prescaler values are selected using the  
T0CKPS<3:0> bits of the T0CON1 register.  
TMR0_out will be one postscaled clock period when a  
match occurs between TMR0L and TMR0H in 8-bit  
mode, or when TMR0 rolls over in 16-bit mode. When  
a match condition occurs, the Timer0 output will toggle  
every T0OUTPS + 1 match. The total Timer0 period  
takes two match events to occur, and creates a 50%  
duty cycle output.  
The prescaler is not directly readable or writable.  
Clearing the prescaler register can be done by writing  
to the TMR0L register, the T0CON0 register, or the  
T0CON1 register.  
26.4 Programmable Postscaler  
A software programmable postscaler (output divider) is  
available for exclusive use with Timer0. There are 16  
postscaler options for Timer0 ranging from 1:1 to 1:16.  
The postscaler values are selected using the  
T0OUTPS<3:0> bits of the T0CON0 register.  
The postscaler is not directly readable or writable.  
Clearing the postscaler register can be done by writing  
to the TMR0L register, the T0CON0 register, or the  
T0CON1 register.  
26.5 Operation During Sleep  
When operating synchronously, Timer0 will halt. When  
operating asynchronously, Timer0 will continue to  
increment and wake the device from Sleep (if Timer0  
interrupts are enabled) provided that the input clock  
source is active.

27.0 TIMER1/3/5 MODULE WITH  
GATE CONTROL  
Timer1/3/5 modules are 16-bit timers/counters, each  
with the following features:  
• 16-bit timer/counter register pair (TMR1H:TMR1L)  
• Programmable internal or external clock source  
• 2-bit prescaler  
• Clock source for optional comparator  
synchronization  
• Multiple Timer1 gate (count enable) sources  
• Interrupt on overflow  
• Wake-up on overflow (external clock,  
Asynchronous mode only)  
• Time base for the Capture/Compare function with  
the CCP modules  
• Auto-Conversion Trigger (with CCP)  
• Selectable Gate Source Polarity  
• Gate Toggle mode  
• Gate Single-Pulse mode  
• Gate Value Status  
• Gate Event Interrupt  
Figure 27-1 is a block diagram of the Timer1 module.  
Note 1: In devices with more than one Timer  
module, it is very important to pay close  
attention to the register names used. A  
number placed after the module acronym  
is used to distinguish between separate  
modules. For example, the T1CON and  
T3CON control the same operational  
aspects of two completely different Timer  
modules.  
2: Throughout  
this  
section,  
generic  
references to Timer1 module in any of its  
operating modes may be interpreted as  
being equally applicable to Timerx  
module. Register names, module  
signals, I/O pins and bit names may use  
the generic designator ‘x’ to indicate the  
use of  
a numeral to distinguish a  
particular module, when required.

27.1 Timer1 Operation  
27.2 Clock Source Selection  
The Timer1 module is a 16-bit incrementing counter  
which is accessed through the TMR1H:TMR1L register  
pair. Writes to TMR1H or TMR1L directly update the  
counter.  
The TMR1CS<1:0> and T1OSC bits of the T1CON  
register are used to select the clock source for Timer1.  
Table 27-2 displays the clock source selections. The  
TMR1H:TMR1L register pair will increment on  
multiples of the clock source as determined by the  
Timer1 prescaler.  
The module can be used with either internal or external  
clock sources, and has the Timer1 Gate Enable  
function. When Timer1 is used with the Timer1 Gate  
Enable, the timer can measure time intervals or count  
signal pulses between two points of interest. When  
used without the Timer1 Gate Enable, the timer simply  
measures time intervals.  
When either the FOSC or LFINTOSC clock source is  
selected, the TMR1H:TMR1L register pair will  
increment every rising clock edge. Reading from the  
TMR1H:TMR1L register pair when either the FOSC or  
LFINTOSC is the clock source will cause a 2 LSb loss  
in resolution, which can be mitigated by using an  
asynchronous input signal to gate the Timer1 clock  
input (see Section 26.5 “Operation During Sleep” for  
more information on the Timer1 Gate Enable).  
Timer1 is enabled by configuring the TMR1ON and  
TMR1GE bits in the T1CON and T1GCON registers,  
respectively. Table 27-1 displays the Timer1 enable  
selections.  
When the FOSC/4 clock source is selected, the  
TMR1H:TMR1L register pair increments every  
instruction cycle (once every four FOSC pulses).  
TABLE 27-1: TIMER1 ENABLE  
SELECTIONS  
In addition to the internal clock sources, Timer1 has a  
dedicated external clock input pin, T1CKI. T1CKI can  
be either synchronized to the system clock or can run  
asynchronously via the T1SYNC bit of the T1CON  
register. When the T1CKI pin is used as the clock  
source, the TMR1H:TMR1L register pair increments on  
the rising edge of the T1CKI clock input.

27.2.1  
TIMER1 (SECONDARY)  
OSCILLATOR  
27.4.1  
READING AND WRITING TIMER1 IN  
ASYNCHRONOUS MODE  
A dedicated low-power 32.768 kHz oscillator circuit is  
built-in between pins SOSCI (input) and SOSCO  
(amplifier output). This internal circuit is designed to be  
used in conjunction with an external 32.768 kHz  
crystal.  
Reading TMR1H or TMR1L while the timer is running  
from an external asynchronous clock will ensure a valid  
read (taken care of in hardware). However, the user  
should keep in mind that reading the 16-bit timer in two  
8-bit values itself, poses certain problems, since the  
timer may overflow between the reads.  
The oscillator circuit is enabled by setting the T1SOSC  
bit of the T1CON register. The oscillator will continue to  
run during Sleep.  
For writes, it is recommended that the user simply stop  
the timer and write the desired values. A write  
contention may occur by writing to the timer registers,  
while the register is incrementing. This may produce an  
unpredictable value in the TMR1H:TMR1L register pair.  
Note:  
The oscillator requires a start-up and  
stabilization time before use. Thus,  
T1SOSC should be set and a suitable  
delay observed prior to using Timer1. A  
suitable delay similar to the OST delay  
can be implemented in software by  
clearing the TMR1IF bit then presetting  
the TMR1H:TMR1L register pair to  
FC00h. The TMR1IF flag will be set when  
1024 clock cycles have elapsed, thereby  
indicating that the oscillator is running and  
reasonably stable.  
27.5 Timer1 Gate  
Timer1 can be configured to count freely or the count  
can be enabled and disabled using Timer1 gate  
circuitry. This is also referred to as Timer1 Gate Enable.  
Timer1 gate can also be driven by multiple selectable  
sources.  
27.5.1  
TIMER1 GATE ENABLE  
The Timer1 Gate Enable mode is enabled by setting  
the TMR1GE bit of the T1GCON register. The polarity  
of the Timer1 Gate Enable mode is configured using  
the T1GPOL bit of the T1GCON register.  
27.3 Timer1 Prescaler  
Timer1 has four prescaler options allowing 1, 2, 4 or 8  
divisions of the clock input. The T1CKPS bits of the  
T1CON register control the prescale counter. The  
prescale counter is not directly readable or writable;  
however, the prescaler counter is cleared upon a write to  
TMR1H or TMR1L.  
When Timer1 Gate Enable mode is enabled, Timer1  
will increment on the rising edge of the Timer1 clock  
source. When Timer1 Gate Enable mode is disabled,  
no incrementing will occur and Timer1 will hold the  
current count. See Figure 27-3 for timing details.  
27.4 Timer1 Operation in  
Asynchronous Mode  
TABLE 27-3: TIMER1 GATE ENABLE  
SELECTIONS  
If the control bit T1SYNC of the T1CON register is set,  
the external clock input is not synchronized. The timer  
increments asynchronously to the internal phase  
clocks. If the external clock source is selected then the  
timer will continue to run during Sleep and can  
generate an interrupt on overflow, which will wake-up  
the processor. However, special precautions in  
software are needed to read/write the timer (see  
Section 27.4.1 “Reading and Writing Timer1 in  
Asynchronous Mode”).

Timer1 Gate Toggle mode is enabled by setting the  
T1GTM bit of the T1GCON register. When the T1GTM  
bit is cleared, the flip-flop is cleared and held clear. This  
is necessary in order to control which edge is  
measured.  
27.5.2  
TIMER1 GATE SOURCE  
SELECTION  
Timer1 gate source selections are shown in Table 27-4.  
Source selection is controlled by the T1GSS bits of the  
T1GCON register. The polarity of the selected input is  
configurable. Polarity selection is controlled by the  
T1GPOL bit of the T1GCON register.  
Note:  
Enabling Toggle mode at the same time  
as changing the gate polarity may result in  
indeterminate operation.

Timer1 Gate Source  
Timer1 Gate Pin  
When Timer1 Gate Single-Pulse mode is enabled, it is  
possible to capture a single-pulse gate event. Timer1  
Gate Single-Pulse mode is first enabled by setting the  
T1GSPM bit in the T1GCON register. Next, the  
T1GGO/DONE bit in the T1GCON register must be set.  
The Timer1 will be fully enabled on the next  
incrementing edge of the Timer1 gate signal. On the  
next trailing edge of the Timer1 gate signal, the  
T1GGO/DONE bit will automatically be cleared. No  
other gate events will be allowed to increment Timer1  
until the T1GGO/DONE bit is once again set in  
software. See Figure 27-5 for timing details.

T1G Pin Gate Operation  
The T1G pin is one source for Timer1 gate control. It  
can be used to supply an external source to the Timer1  
gate circuitry.  
If the Single-Pulse Gate mode is disabled by clearing the  
T1GSPM bit in the T1GCON register, the T1GGO/DONE  
bit should also be cleared.  
27.5.2.2  
Timer0 Overflow Gate Operation  
When Timer0 increments from FFh to 00h,  
low-to-high pulse will automatically be generated and  
internally supplied to the Timer1 gate circuitry.  
a
Enabling the Toggle mode and the Single-Pulse mode  
simultaneously will permit both sections to work  
together. This allows the period of the Timer1 gate  
source to be measured. See Figure 27-6 for timing  
details.  
27.5.2.3  
Comparator C1 Gate Operation  
The output resulting from a Comparator 1 operation can  
be selected as a source for Timer1 gate control. The  
Comparator 1 output can be synchronized to the Timer1  
clock or left asynchronous. For more information see  
27.5.5  
TIMER1 GATE VALUE STATUS  
When Timer1 Gate Value Status is utilized, it is possible  
to read the most current level of the gate control value.  
The value is stored in the T1GVAL bit in the T1GCON  
register. The T1GVAL bit is valid even when the Timer1  
gate is not enabled (TMR1GE bit is cleared).  
Section 18.4.1  
“Comparator  
Output  
Synchronization”.  
27.5.2.4  
Comparator C2 Gate Operation  
The output resulting from a Comparator 2 operation  
can be selected as a source for Timer1 gate control.  
The Comparator 2 output can be synchronized to the  
Timer1 clock or left asynchronous. For more  
information see Section 18.4.1 “Comparator Output  
Synchronization”.  
27.5.3  
TIMER1 GATE TOGGLE MODE  
When Timer1 Gate Toggle mode is enabled, it is  
possible to measure the full period of a Timer1 gate  
signal, as opposed to the duration of a single level  
pulse.  
The Timer1 gate source is routed through a flip-flop that  
changes state on every incrementing edge of the  
signal. See Figure 27-4 for timing details.

27.6 Timer1 Interrupt  
27.8 CCP Capture/Compare Time Base  
The Timer1 register pair (TMR1H:TMR1L) increments  
to FFFFh and rolls over to 0000h. When Timer1 rolls  
over, the Timer1 interrupt flag bit of the PIR1 register is  
set. To enable the interrupt on rollover, you must set  
these bits:  
The CCP modules use the TMR1H:TMR1L register  
pair as the time base when operating in Capture or  
Compare mode.  
In Capture mode, the value in the TMR1H:TMR1L  
register pair is copied into the CCPR1H:CCPR1L  
register pair on a configured event.  
• TMR1ON bit of the T1CON register  
• TMR1IE bit of the PIE1 register  
• PEIE bit of the INTCON register  
• GIE bit of the INTCON register  
In Compare mode, an event is triggered when the value  
CCPR1H:CCPR1L register pair matches the value in  
the TMR1H:TMR1L register pair. This event can be an  
Auto-conversion Trigger.  
The interrupt is cleared by clearing the TMR1IF bit in  
the Interrupt Service Routine.  
For  
more  
information,  
see  
Section 29.0  
“Capture/Compare/PWM Modules”.  
Note:  
The TMR1H:TMR1L register pair and the  
TMR1IF bit should be cleared before  
enabling interrupts.  
27.9 CCP Auto-Conversion Trigger  
When any of the CCP’s are configured to trigger an  
auto-conversion, the trigger will clear the  
TMR1H:TMR1L register pair. This auto-conversion  
does not cause a Timer1 interrupt. The CCP module  
may still be configured to generate a CCP interrupt.  
27.6.1  
TIMER1 GATE EVENT INTERRUPT  
When Timer1 Gate Event Interrupt is enabled, it is  
possible to generate an interrupt upon the completion  
of a gate event. When the falling edge of T1GVAL  
occurs, the TMR1GIF flag bit in the PIR1 register will be  
set. If the TMR1GIE bit in the PIE1 register is set, then  
an interrupt will be recognized.  
In this mode of operation, the CCPR1H:CCPR1L  
register pair becomes the period register for Timer1.  
Timer1 should be synchronized and FOSC/4 should be  
selected as the clock source in order to utilize the  
Auto-conversion Trigger. Asynchronous operation of  
Timer1 can cause an Auto-conversion Trigger to be  
missed.  
The TMR1GIF flag bit operates even when the Timer1  
gate is not enabled (TMR1GE bit is cleared).  
27.7 Timer1 Operation During Sleep  
Timer1 can only operate during Sleep when setup in  
Asynchronous mode. In this mode, an external crystal  
or clock source can be used to increment the timer. To  
set up the timer to wake the device:  
In the event that a write to TMR1H or TMR1L coincides  
with an Auto-conversion Trigger from the CCP, the  
write will take precedence.  
For  
more  
information,  
see  
Section 29.3.3  
• TMR1ON bit of the T1CON register must be set  
• TMR1IE bit of the PIE1 register must be set  
• PEIE bit of the INTCON register must be set  
• T1SYNC bit of the T1CON register must be set  
• TMR1CS bits of the T1CON register must be con-  
figured  
“Auto-Conversion Trigger”.  
• T1SOSC bit of the T1CON register must be con-  
figured  
The device will wake-up on an overflow and execute  
the next instructions. If the GIE bit of the INTCON  
register is set, the device will call the Interrupt Service  
Routine.  
Secondary oscillator will continue to operate in Sleep  
regardless of the T1SYNC bit setting.

28.0 TIMER 2/4/6 MODULE  
Note 1: In devices with more than one Timer  
module, it is very important to pay close  
attention to the register names used. A  
number placed after the module acronym  
is used to distinguish between separate  
modules. For example, the T2CON and  
T4CON control the same operational  
aspects of two completely different Timer  
modules.  
Timer2/4/6 modules are 8-bit timers that incorporate  
the following features:  
• 8-bit Timer and Period registers (TMR2/4/6 and  
PR2/4/6, respectively)  
• Readable and writable (both registers)  
• Software programmable prescaler (1:1, 1:4, 1:16,  
and 1:64)  
• Software programmable postscaler (1:1 to 1:16)  
• Interrupt on TMR2/4/6 match with PR2/4/6  
• Optional use as the shift clock for the MSSPx  
module  
2: Throughout  
this  
section,  
generic  
references to Timer2 module in any of its  
operating modes may be interpreted as  
being equally applicable to Timerx

28.1 Timer2 Operation  
28.3 Timer2 Output  
The clock input to the Timer2 modules is the system  
instruction clock (FOSC/4).  
The unscaled output of TMR2 is available primarily to  
the CCP modules, where it is used as a time base for  
operations in PWM mode.  
A 4-bit counter/prescaler on the clock input allows direct  
input, divide-by-4 and divide-by-16 prescale options.  
These options are selected by the prescaler control bits,  
T2CKPS<1:0> of the T2CON register. The value of  
TMR2 is compared to that of the Period register, PR2, on  
each clock cycle. When the two values match, the  
comparator generates a match signal as the timer  
output. This signal also resets the value of TMR2 to 00h  
on the next cycle and drives the output  
Timer2 can be optionally used as the shift clock source  
for the MSSPx module operating in SPI mode.  
Additional information is provided in Section 30.0  
“Master Synchronous Serial Port (MSSPx) Module”  
28.4 Timer2 Operation During Sleep  
The Timer2 timers cannot be operated while the  
processor is in Sleep mode. The contents of the TMR2  
and PR2 registers will remain unchanged while the  
processor is in Sleep mode.  
counter/postscaler  
(see  
Section 28.2  
“Timer2  
Interrupt”).  
The TMR2 and PR2 registers are both directly readable  
and writable. The TMR2 register is cleared on any  
device Reset, whereas the PR2 register initializes to  
FFh. Both the prescaler and postscaler counters are  
cleared on the following events:  
• A write to the TMR2 register  
• A write to the T2CON register  
• Power-on Reset (POR)  
• Brown-out Reset (BOR)  
• MCLR Reset  
• Watchdog Timer (WDT) Reset  
• Stack Overflow Reset  
• Stack Underflow Reset  
RESETInstruction  
Note:  
TMR2 is not cleared when T2CON is  
written.  
28.2 Timer2 Interrupt  
Timer2 can also generate an optional device interrupt.  
The Timer2 output signal (TMR2-to-PR2 match)  
provides the input for the 4-bit counter/postscaler. This  
counter generates the TMR2 match interrupt flag which  
is latched in TMR2IF of the PIR1 register. The interrupt  
is enabled by setting the TMR2 Match Interrupt Enable  
bit, TMR2IE, of the PIE1 register.  
A range of 16 postscale options (from 1:1 through 1:16  
inclusive) can be selected with the postscaler control  
bits, T2OUTPS<3:0>, of the T2CON register.

29.2 Capture Mode  
29.0 CAPTURE/COMPARE/PWM  
MODULES  
Capture mode makes use of either the 16-bit Timer0 or  
Timer1 resource. When an event occurs on the capture  
source, the 16-bit CCPRxH:CCPRxL register pair  
captures and stores the 16-bit value of the  
TMR0H:TMR0L or TMR1H:TMR1L register pair,  
respectively. An event is defined as one of the following  
and is configured by the CCPxMODE<3:0> bits of the  
CCPxCON register:  
The Capture/Compare/PWM module is a peripheral  
that allows the user to time and control different events  
and to generate Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM)  
signals. In Capture mode, the peripheral allows the  
timing of the duration of an event. The Compare mode  
allows the user to trigger an external event when a  
predetermined amount of time has expired. The PWM  
mode can generate Pulse-Width Modulated signals of  
varying frequency and duty cycle.  
• Every falling edge  
• Every rising edge  
• Every 4th rising edge  
• Every 16th rising edge  
This family of devices contains four standard  
Capture/Compare/PWM modules (CCP1, CCP2, CCP3  
and CCP4).  
When a capture is made, the Interrupt Request Flag bit  
CCPxIF of the PIR4 register is set. The interrupt flag  
must be cleared in software. If another capture occurs  
before the value in the CCPRxH, CCPRxL register pair  
is read, the old captured value is overwritten by the new  
captured value.  
The Capture and Compare functions are identical for all  
CCP modules.  
29.1 CCP/PWM Clock Selection  
The PIC16(L)F18326/18346 devices allow each  
individual CCP and PWM module to select the timer  
source that controls the module. Each module has an  
independent selection.  
Figure 29-1 shows a simplified diagram of the capture  
operation.  
29.2.1  
CAPTURE SOURCES  
As there are up to three 8-bit timers with auto-reload  
(Timer2, Timer4, and Timer6), PWM mode on the CCP  
and PWM modules can use any of these timers.  
In Capture mode, the CCPx pin should be configured  
as an input by setting the associated TRIS control bit.  
Note:  
If the CCPx pin is configured as an output,  
a write to the port can cause a Capture  
condition.  
The CCPTMRS register is used to select which timer is  
used.  
Note 1: In devices with more than one CCP  
module, it is very important to pay close  
attention to the register names used. A  
number placed after the module acronym  
is used to distinguish between separate  
modules. For example, the CCP1CON  
and CCP2CON control the same  
operational aspects of two completely  
different CCP modules.  
The capture source is selected by configuring the  
CCPxCTS<3:0> bits of the CCPxCAP register. The  
following sources can be selected:  
• CCPxPPS input  
• C1_output  
• C2_output  
• NCO_output  
• IOC_interrupt  
• LC1_output  
• LC2_output  
• LC3_output  
• LC4_output  
2: Throughout  
this  
section,  
generic  
references to a CCP module in any of its  
operating modes may be interpreted as  
being equally applicable to CCPx module.  
Register names, module signals, I/O pins,  
and bit names may use the generic  
designator ‘x’ to indicate the use of a  
numeral to distinguish a particular module,  
when required.

TIMER1/3/5 MODE RESOURCE  
29.2.5  
CAPTURE DURING SLEEP  
Timer1/3/5 must be running in Timer mode or  
Synchronized Counter mode for the CCP module to use  
the capture feature. In Asynchronous Counter mode, the  
capture operation may not work.  
Capture mode depends upon the Timer1/3/5 module for  
proper operation. There are two options for driving the  
Timer1/3/5 module in Capture mode. It can be driven by  
the instruction clock (FOSC/4), or by an external clock  
source.  
See Section 27.0 “Timer1/3/5 Module with Gate  
Control” for more information on configuring  
Timer1/3/5.  
When Timer1/3/5 is clocked by FOSC/4, Timer1/3/5 will  
not increment during Sleep. When the device wakes  
from Sleep, Timer1/3/5 will continue from its previous  
state.  
Note:  
Clocking Timer1/3/5 from the system clock  
(FOSC) should not be used in Capture  
mode. In order for Capture mode to  
recognize the trigger event on the CCPx  
pin, Timer1/3/5 must be clocked from the  
instruction clock (FOSC/4) or from an  
external clock source.  
Capture mode will operate during Sleep when  
Timer1/3/5 is clocked by an external clock source.  
29.2.3  
SOFTWARE INTERRUPT MODE  
When the Capture mode is changed, a false capture  
interrupt may be generated. The user should keep the  
CCPxIE interrupt enable bit of the PIE4 register clear to  
avoid false interrupts. Additionally, the user should  
clear the CCPxIF interrupt flag bit of the PIR4 register  
following any change in Operating mode.  
29.2.4  
CCP PRESCALER  
There are four prescaler settings specified by the  
CCPxMODE<3:0> bits of the CCPxCON register.  
Whenever the CCP module is turned off, or the CCP  
module is not in Capture mode, the prescaler counter  
is cleared. Any Reset will clear the prescaler counter.  
Switching from one capture prescaler to another does not  
clear the prescaler and may generate a false interrupt. To  
avoid this unexpected operation, turn the module off by  
clearing the CCPxCON register before changing the  
prescaler. Example 29-1 demonstrates the code to  
perform this function.

CCPX PIN CONFIGURATION  
29.3 Compare Mode  
The user must configure the CCPx pin as an output by  
clearing the associated TRIS bit and defining the  
appropriate output pin through the RxyPPS registers.  
See Section 13.0 “Peripheral Pin Select (PPS)  
Module” for more details.  
Compare mode makes use of the 16-bit Timer1/3/5  
resource. The 16-bit value of the CCPRxH:CCPRxL  
register pair is constantly compared against the 16-bit  
value of the TMR1/3/5H:TMR1/3/5L register pair. When  
a match occurs, one of the following events can occur:  
Note:  
Clearing the CCPxCON register will force  
the CCPx compare output latch to the  
default low level. This is not the PORT I/O  
data latch.  
Toggle the CCPx output  
• Set the CCPx output  
• Clear the CCPx output  
• Generate an Auto-conversion Trigger  
• Generate a Software Interrupt  
29.3.2  
TIMER1/3/5 MODE RESOURCE  
The action on the pin is based on the value of the  
CCPxMODE<3:0> control bits of the CCPxCON regis-  
ter. At the same time, the interrupt flag CCPxIF bit is  
set, and an ADC conversion can be triggered, if  
selected.  
In Compare mode, Timer1/3/5 must be running in either  
Timer mode or Synchronized Counter mode. The  
compare operation may not work in Asynchronous  
Counter mode.  
See Section 27.0 “Timer1/3/5 Module with Gate  
Control” for more information on configuring  
Timer1/3/5.  
All Compare modes can generate an interrupt and  
trigger an ADC conversion.  
Figure 29-2 shows a simplified diagram of the compare  
operation.  
Note:  
Clocking Timer1/3/5 from the system clock  
(FOSC) should not be used in Compare  
mode. In order for Compare mode to  
recognize the trigger event on the CCPx  
pin, Timer1/3/5 must be clocked from the  
instruction clock (FOSC/4) or from an  
external clock source.  
Note:  
When the CCP is configured in Compare  
mode using the ‘toggle output on match’  
setting (CCPxMODE<3:0> bits = 0010)  
and the reference timer is set for an input  
clock prescale other than 1:1, the output  
of the CCP will toggle multiple times until  
finally settling a ‘0’ logic level. To avoid

STANDARD PWM OPERATION  
29.4 PWM Overview  
The standard PWM mode generates a Pulse-Width  
Modulation (PWM) signal on the CCPx pin with up to 10  
bits of resolution. The period, duty cycle, and resolution  
are controlled by the following registers:  
Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) is a scheme that  
provides power to a load by switching quickly between  
fully on and fully off states. The PWM signal resembles  
a square wave where the high portion of the signal is  
considered the ON state and the low portion of the  
signal is considered the OFF state. The high portion,  
also known as the pulse width, can vary in time and is  
defined in steps. A larger number of steps applied,  
which lengthens the pulse width, also supplies more  
power to the load. Lowering the number of steps  
applied, which shortens the pulse width, supplies less  
power. The PWM period is defined as the duration of  
one complete cycle or the total amount of on and off  
time combined.  
• PR2/4/6 registers  
• T2/4/6CON registers  
• CCPRxL registers  
• CCPxCON registers  
Figure 29-4 shows a simplified block diagram of PWM  
operation.  
Note:  
The corresponding TRIS bit must be  
cleared to enable the PWM output on the  
CCPx pin.  
PWM resolution defines the maximum number of steps  
that can be present in a single PWM period. A higher  
resolution allows for more precise control of the  
pulse-width time and in turn the power that is applied to  
the load.  
FIGURE 29-3:  
CCP PWM OUTPUT SIGNAL  
Period  
The term duty cycle describes the proportion of the on  
time to the off time and is expressed in percentages,  
where 0% is fully off and 100% is fully on. A lower duty  
cycle corresponds to less power applied and a higher  
duty cycle corresponds to more power applied.

SETUP FOR PWM OPERATION  
29.4.4  
PWM PERIOD  
The following steps should be taken when configuring  
the CCP module for standard PWM operation:  
The PWM period is specified by the PRx register of  
Timer2/4/6. The PWM period can be calculated using  
the formula of Equation 29-1.  
1. Use the desired output pin RxyPPS control to  
select CCPx as the source and disable the  
CCPx pin output driver by setting the associated  
TRIS bit.  
EQUATION 29-1: PWM PERIOD  
PWM Period = PR2x+ 1  4 TOSC   
2. Load the PR2 register with the PWM period  
value.  
(TMR2/4/6 Prescale Value)  
Note:  
TOSC = 1/FOSC  
3. Configure the CCP module for the PWM mode  
by loading the CCPxCON register with the  
appropriate values.  
When TMR2/4/6 is equal to PR2/4/6, the following  
three events occur on the next increment cycle:  
4. Load the CCPRxL register and the CCPRxH  
register bits, with the PWM duty cycle value and  
configure the CCPxFMT bit of the CCPxCON  
register to set the proper register alignment.  
• TMR2/4/6 is cleared  
• The CCPx pin is set. (Exception: If the PWM duty  
cycle = 0%, the pin will not be set.)  
• The PWM duty cycle is transferred from the  
CCPRxL/H register pair into a 10-bit buffer.  
5. Configure and start Timer2, 4 or 6.  
• Clear the TMR2/4/6IF interrupt flag bits of  
the PIR4 register. See Note below.  
Note:  
The Timer postscaler (see Section 28.1  
“Timer2 Operation”) is not used in the  
determination of the PWM frequency.  
• Configure the T2/4/6CKPS bits of the  
T2/4/6CON register with the Timer  
prescale value.  
• Enable the Timer by setting the  
TMR2/4/6ON bit of the T2/4/6CON  
register.  
29.4.5  
PWM DUTY CYCLE  
The PWM duty cycle is specified by writing a 10-bit  
value to the CCPRxH:CCPRxL register pair. The  
alignment of the 10-bit value is determined by the  
CCPRxFMT bit of the CCPxCON register (see  
Figure 29-5). The CCPRxH:CCPRxL register pair can  
be written to at any time; however, the duty cycle value  
is not latched into the 10-bit buffer until after a match  
between PR2/4/6 and TMR2/4/6.  
6. Enable PWM output pin:  
• Wait until the Timer overflows and the  
TMR2/4/6IF bits of the PIR4 register is set.  
See Note below.  
• Enable the CCPx pin output driver by  
clearing the associated TRIS bit.  
Equation 29-2 is used to calculate the PWM pulse  
width.  
Note:  
In order to send a complete duty cycle and  
period on the first PWM output, the above  
steps must be included in the setup  
sequence. If it is not critical to start with a  
complete PWM signal on the first output,  
then step 6 may be ignored.  
Equation 29-3 is used to calculate the PWM duty cycle  
ratio.

PWM RESOLUTION  
PWM resolution, expressed in number of bits, defines  
the maximum number of discrete steps that can be  
present in a single PWM period. For example, a 10-bit  
resolution will result in 1024 discrete steps, whereas an  
8-bit resolution will result in 256 discrete steps.  
Pulse Width = CCPRxH:CCPRxL register pair  
TOSC (TMR2 Prescale Value)  
The maximum PWM resolution is ten bits when PRx is  
255. The resolution is a function of the PRx register  
value as shown by Equation 29-4.

EQUATION 29-4: PWM RESOLUTION

This double buffering provides glitchless PWM

The 8-bit timer TMR2/4/6 register is concatenated with  
either the 2-bit internal system clock (FOSC), or two bits  
of the prescaler, to create the 10-bit time base. The  
system clock is used if the Timer2/4/6 prescaler is set to  
1:1.  
Note:  
If the pulse-width value is greater than the  
period the assigned PWM pin(s) will  
remain unchanged.  
When the 10-bit time base matches the  
CCPRxH:CCPRxL register pair, then the CCPx pin is  
cleared (see Figure 29-4).

CHANGES IN SYSTEM CLOCK  
FREQUENCY  
In Sleep mode, the TMR2/4/6 register will not incre-  
ment and the state of the module will not change. If the  
CCPx pin is driving a value, it will continue to drive that  
value. When the device wakes up, TMR2/4/6 will  
continue from its previous state.  
The PWM frequency is derived from the system clock  
frequency. Any changes in the system clock frequency  
will result in changes to the PWM frequency. See  
Section 7.0 “Oscillator Module” for additional  
details.

EFFECTS OF RESET  
Any Reset will force all ports to Input mode and the

MODULE  
Note 1: In devices with more than one MSSP  
module, it is very important to pay close  
attention to the register names used. A  
number placed after the module acronym  
is used to distinguish between separate  
modules. For example, the SSP1STAT  
and SSP2STAT control the same  
operational aspects of two completely  
different MSSP modules.  
30.1 MSSPx Module Overview  
The Master Synchronous Serial Port (MSSPx) module  
is a serial interface useful for communicating with other  
peripheral or microcontroller devices. These peripheral  
devices may be serial EEPROMs, shift registers,  
display drivers, A/D Converters, etc. The MSSPx  
module can operate in one of two modes:

this  
section,  
generic  
references to the MSSP1 module in any  
of its operating modes may be interpreted  
as being equally applicable to MSSPx  
module. Register names, module

During each SPI clock cycle, a full-duplex data  
transmission occurs. This means that while the master  
device is sending out the MSb from its shift register (on  
its SDO pin) and the slave device is reading this bit and  
saving it as the LSb of its shift register, that the slave  
device is also sending out the MSb from its shift register  
(on its SDO pin) and the master device is reading this  
bit and saving it as the LSb of its shift register.  
30.2 SPI Mode Overview  
The Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) bus is a  
synchronous serial data communication bus that  
operates in Full-Duplex mode. Devices communicate  
in a master/slave environment where the master device  
initiates the communication.  
A slave device is  
controlled through a Chip Select known as Slave  
Select.  
After eight bits have been shifted out, the master and  
slave have exchanged register values.  
The SPI bus specifies four signal connections:  
• Serial Clock (SCK)  
• Serial Data Out (SDO)  
• Serial Data In (SDI)  
• Slave Select (SS)  
If there is more data to exchange, the shift registers are  
loaded with new data and the process repeats itself.  
Whether the data is meaningful or not (dummy data),  
depends on the application software. This leads to  
three scenarios for data transmission:  
Figure 30-1 shows the block diagram of the MSSPx  
module when operating in SPI mode.  
• Master sends useful data and slave sends dummy  
data.  
The SPI bus operates with a single master device and  
one or more slave devices. When multiple slave  
devices are used, an independent Slave Select  
connection can be used to address each slave  
individually.  
• Master sends useful data and slave sends useful  
data.  
• Master sends dummy data and slave sends useful  
data.  
Figure 30-4 shows a typical connection between a  
master device and multiple slave devices.  
Transmissions must be performed in multiples of eight  
clock pulses. When there is no more data to be  
transmitted, the master stops sending the clock signal  
and it deselects the slave.  
The master selects only one slave at a time. Most slave  
devices have tri-state outputs so their output signal  
appears disconnected from the bus when they are not  
selected.  
Every slave device connected to the bus that has not  
been selected through its slave select line must disre-  
gard the clock and transmission signals and must not  
transmit out any data of its own.  
Transmissions involve two shift registers, eight bits in  
size, one in the master and one in the slave. Data is  
always shifted out one bit at a time, with the Most  
Significant bit (MSb) shifted out first. At the same time,  
a new Least Significant bit (LSb) is shifted into the  
same register.  
Figure 30-5 shows a typical connection between two  
processors configured as master and slave devices.  
Data is shifted out of both shift registers on the  
programmed clock edge and latched on the opposite  
edge of the clock.  
The master device transmits information out on its SDO  
output pin which is connected to, and received by, the  
slave’s SDI input pin. The slave device transmits infor-  
mation out on its SDO output pin, which is connected  
to, and received by, the master’s SDI input pin.  
To begin communication, the master device first sends  
out the clock signal. Both the master and the slave  
devices should be configured for the same clock polar-  
ity.  
The master device starts a transmission by sending out  
the MSb from its shift register. The slave device reads  
this bit from that same line and saves it into the LSb  
position of its shift register.

SPI MODE REGISTERS  
30.2.2  
SPI MODE OPERATION  
The MSSPx module has five registers for SPI mode  
operation. These are:  
When initializing the SPI, several options need to be  
specified. This is done by programming the appropriate  
control bits (SSPxCON1<5:0> and SSPxSTAT<7:6>).  
These control bits allow the following to be specified:  
• MSSPx STATUS register (SSPxSTAT)  
• MSSPx Control register 1 (SSPxCON1)  
• MSSPx Control register 3 (SSPxCON3)  
• MSSPx Data Buffer register (SSPxBUF)  
• MSSPx Address register (SSPxADD)  
• MSSPx Shift register (SSPxSR)  
• Master mode (SCK is the clock output)  
• Slave mode (SCK is the clock input)  
• Clock Polarity (Idle state of SCK)  
• Data Input Sample Phase (middle or end of data  
output time)  
(Not directly accessible)  
• Clock Edge (output data on rising/falling edge of  
SCK)  
• Clock Rate (Master mode only)  
• Slave Select mode (Slave mode only)  
SSPxCON1 and SSPSTAT are the control and  
STATUS registers in SPI mode operation. The  
SSPxCON1 register is readable and writable. The  
lower six bits of the SSPxSTAT are read-only. The  
upper two bits of the SSPxSTAT are read/write.  
To enable the serial port, SSP Enable bit, SSPEN of the  
SSPxCON1 register, must be set. To reset or reconfig-  
ure SPI mode, clear the SSPEN bit, re-initialize the  
SSPxCONy registers and then set the SSPEN bit. This  
configures the SDI, SDO, SCK and SS pins as serial  
port pins. For the pins to behave as the serial port  
function, some must have their data direction bits (in  
the TRIS register) appropriately programmed as  
follows:  
In one SPI Master mode, SSPxADD can be loaded  
with a value used in the Baud Rate Generator. More  
information on the Baud Rate Generator is available in  
Section 30.7 “Baud Rate Generator”.  
SSPxSR is the shift register used for shifting data in  
and out. SSPxBUF provides indirect access to the  
SSPxSR register. SSPxBUF is the buffer register to  
which data bytes are written, and from which data  
bytes are read.  
• SDI must have corresponding TRIS bit set  
• SDO must have corresponding TRIS bit cleared  
• SCK (Master mode) must have corresponding  
TRIS bit cleared  
• SCK (Slave mode) must have corresponding  
TRIS bit set  
In receive operations, SSPxSR and SSPxBUF  
together create a buffered receiver. When SSPxSR  
receives a complete byte, it is transferred to SSPxBUF  
and the SSPxIF interrupt is set.  
• SS must have corresponding TRIS bit set  
During transmission, the SSPxBUF is not buffered. A  
write to SSPxBUF will write to both SSPxBUF and  
SSPxSR.  
Any serial port function that is not desired may be  
overridden by programming the corresponding data  
direction (TRIS) register to the opposite value.

PIC16(L)F18326/18346  
The MSSPx consists of a transmit/receive shift register  
(SSPxSR) and a buffer register (SSPxBUF). The  
SSPxSR shifts the data in and out of the device, MSb  
first. The SSPxBUF holds the data that was written to  
the SSPxSR until the received data is ready. Once the  
eight bits of data have been received, that byte is  
moved to the SSPxBUF register. Then, the Buffer Full  
Detect bit, BF of the SSPxSTAT register, and the  
interrupt flag bit, SSPxIF, are set. Any write to the  
SSPxBUF register during transmission/reception of  
data will be ignored and the write collision detect bit,  
WCOL, of the SSPxCON1 register, will be set. User  
software must clear the WCOL bit to allow the following  
write(s) to the SSPxBUF register to complete  
successfully.  
When the application software is expecting to receive  
valid data, the SSPxBUF should be read before the  
next byte of data to transfer is written to the SSPxBUF.  
The Buffer Full bit, BF of the SSPxSTAT register,  
indicates when SSPxBUF has been loaded with the  
received data (transmission is complete). When the  
SSPxBUF is read, the BF bit is cleared. This data may  
be irrelevant if the SPI is only a transmitter. Generally,  
the MSSP interrupt is used to determine when the  
transmission/reception has completed. If the interrupt  
method is not going to be used, then software polling  
can be done to ensure that a write collision does not  
occur.  
The SSPxSR is not directly readable or writable and  
can only be accessed by addressing the SSPxBUF  
register.

The clock polarity is selected by appropriately  
programming the CKP bit of the SSPxCON1 register  
and the CKE bit of the SSPxSTAT register. This then,  
would give waveforms for SPI communication as  
shown in Figure 30-6, Figure 30-8, Figure 30-9 and  
Figure 30-10, where the MSB is transmitted first. In  
Master mode, the SPI clock rate (bit rate) is user  
programmable to be one of the following:  
30.2.3  
SPI MASTER MODE  
The master can initiate the data transfer at any time  
because it controls the SCK line. The master  
determines when the slave (Processor 2, Figure 30-5)  
is to broadcast data by the software protocol.  
In Master mode, the data is transmitted/received as  
soon as the SSPxBUF register is written to. If the SPI  
is only going to receive, the SDO output could be  
disabled (programmed as an input). The SSPxSR  
register will continue to shift in the signal present on the  
SDI pin at the programmed clock rate. As each byte is  
received, it will be loaded into the SSPxBUF register as  
if a normal received byte (interrupts and Status bits  
appropriately set).

• FOSC/16 (or 4 * TCY)

Figure 30-6 shows the waveforms for Master mode.  
When the CKE bit is set, the SDO data is valid before  
there is a clock edge on SCK. The change of the input  
sample is shown based on the state of the SMP bit. The  
time when the SSPxBUF is loaded with the received  
data is shown.

SPI SLAVE MODE  
30.2.5  
SLAVE SELECT  
SYNCHRONIZATION  
In Slave mode, the data is transmitted and received as  
external clock pulses appear on SCK. When the last  
bit is latched, the SSPxIF interrupt flag bit is set.  
The Slave Select can also be used to synchronize  
communication. The Slave Select line is held high until  
the master device is ready to communicate. When the  
Slave Select line is pulled low, the slave knows that a  
new transmission is starting.  
Before enabling the module in SPI Slave mode, the clock  
line must match the proper Idle state. The clock line can  
be observed by reading the SCK pin. The Idle state is  
determined by the CKP bit of the SSPxCON1 register.  
If the slave fails to receive the communication properly,  
it will be reset at the end of the transmission, when the  
Slave Select line returns to a high state. The slave is  
then ready to receive a new transmission when the  
Slave Select line is pulled low again. If the Slave Select  
line is not used, there is a risk that the slave will  
eventually become out of sync with the master. If the  
slave misses a bit, it will always be one bit off in future  
transmissions. Use of the Slave Select line allows the  
slave and master to align themselves at the beginning  
of each transmission.  
While in Slave mode, the external clock is supplied by  
the external clock source on the SCK pin. This external  
clock must meet the minimum high and low times as  
specified in the electrical specifications.  
While in Sleep mode, the slave can transmit/receive  
data. The shift register is clocked from the SCK pin  
input and when a byte is received, the device will  
generate an interrupt. If enabled, the device will  
wake-up from Sleep.  
The SS pin allows a Synchronous Slave mode. The  
SPI must be in Slave mode with SS pin control enabled  
(SSPxCON1<3:0> = 0100).  
30.2.4.1  
Daisy-Chain Configuration  
The SPI bus can sometimes be connected in a  
daisy-chain configuration. The first slave output is  
connected to the second slave input, the second slave  
output is connected to the third slave input, and so on.  
The final slave output is connected to the master input.  
Each slave sends out, during a second group of clock  
pulses, an exact copy of what was received during the  
first group of clock pulses. The whole chain acts as  
one large communication shift register. The  
daisy-chain feature only requires a single Slave Select  
line from the master device.  
When the SS pin is low, transmission and reception are  
enabled and the SDO pin is driven.  
When the SS pin goes high, the SDO pin is no longer  
driven, even if in the middle of a transmitted byte and  
becomes a floating output. External pull-up/pull-down  
resistors may be desirable depending on the applica-  
tion.  
Note 1: When the SPI is in Slave mode with SS pin  
control enabled (SSPxCON1<3:0>  
0100), the SPI module will reset if the SS  
pin is set to VDD.  
=
Figure 30-7 shows the block diagram of a typical  
daisy-chain connection when operating in SPI mode.  
In a daisy-chain configuration, only the most recent  
byte on the bus is required by the slave. Setting the  
BOEN bit of the SSPxCON3 register will enable writes  
to the SSPxBUF register, even if the previous byte has  
not been read. This allows the software to ignore data  
that may not apply to it.  
2: When the SPI is used in Slave mode with  
CKE set; the user must enable SS pin  
control.  
3: While operated in SPI Slave mode the  
SMP bit of the SSPxSTAT register must  
remain clear.  
When the SPI module resets, the bit counter is forced  
to ‘0’. This can be done by either forcing the SS pin to  
a high level or clearing the SSPEN bit.

SPI OPERATION IN SLEEP MODE  
FIGURE 30-11:  
I C MASTER/  
SLAVE CONNECTION  
In SPI Master mode, when the Sleep mode is selected,  
all module clocks are halted and the transmis-  
sion/reception will remain in that state until the device  
wakes. After the device returns to Run mode, the  
module will resume transmitting and receiving data.  
VDD  
SCL

In SPI Slave mode, the SPI Transmit/Receive Shift  
register operates asynchronously to the device. This  
allows the device to be placed in Sleep mode and data  
to be shifted into the SPI Transmit/Receive Shift  
register. When all eight bits have been received, the  
MSSP interrupt flag bit will be set and if enabled, will  
wake the device.

30.3 I C Mode Overview  
On the last byte of data communicated, the master  
device may end the transmission by sending a Stop bit.  
If the master device is in Receive mode, it sends a  
NACK in place of the last ACK bit. A Stop bit is  
indicated by a low-to-high transition of the SDA line  
while the SCL line is held high.  
The Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C) bus is a multi-master  
serial data communication bus. Devices communicate  
in a master/slave environment where the master  
devices initiate the communication. A slave device is  
controlled through addressing.  
The I2C bus specifies two signal connections:  
In some cases, the master may want to maintain  
control of the bus and re-initiate another transmission.  
If so, the master device may send a Restart condition  
in place of the Stop bit or last ACK bit when it is in  
Receive mode.  
• Serial Clock (SCL)  
• Serial Data (SDA)  
Figure 30-11 shows the block diagram of the MSSPx  
module when operating in I2C mode.  
The I2C bus specifies three message protocols;  
Both the SCL and SDA connections are bidirectional  
open-drain lines, each requiring pull-up resistors for the  
supply voltage. Pulling the line to ground is considered  
a logical zero and letting the line float is considered a  
logical one.  
• Single message where a master writes data to a  
slave.  
• Single message where a master reads data from  
a slave.  
• Combined message where a master initiates a  
minimum of two writes, or two reads, or a  
combination of writes and reads, to one or more  
slaves.  
Figure 30-2 and Figure 30-3 show a typical connection  
between two processors configured as master and  
slave devices.  
The I2C bus can operate with one or more master  
devices and one or more slave devices.  
30.3.1  
CLOCK STRETCHING  
When a slave device has not completed processing  
data, it can delay the transfer of more data through the  
process of clock stretching. An addressed slave device  
may hold the SCL clock line low after receiving or send-  
ing a bit, indicating that it is not yet ready to continue.  
The master that is communicating with the slave will  
attempt to raise the SCL line in order to transfer the  
next bit, but will detect that the clock line has not yet  
been released. Because the SCL connection is  
open-drain, the slave has the ability to hold that line low  
until it is ready to continue communicating.  
There are four potential modes of operation for a given  
device:  
• Master Transmit mode  
(master is transmitting data to a slave)  
• Master Receive mode  
(master is receiving data from a slave)  
• Slave Transmit mode  
(slave is transmitting data to a master)  
• Slave Receive mode  
(slave is receiving data from the master)  
To begin communication, the master device sends out  
a Start condition followed by the address byte of the  
slave it intends to communicate with. This is followed  
by a single Read/Write bit, which determines whether  
the master intends to transmit to or receive data from  
the slave device.  
Clock stretching allows receivers that cannot keep up  
with a transmitter to control the flow of incoming data.  
If the requested slave exists on the bus, it will respond  
with an Acknowledge bit, otherwise known as an ACK.  
The master then continues in either transmit or receive  
data from the slave device.

30.3.2  
ARBITRATION  
Each master device must monitor the bus for Start and  
Stop bits. If the device detects that the bus is busy, it  
cannot begin a new message until the bus returns to an  
Idle state.  
However, two master devices may try to initiate a  
transmission on or about the same time. When this  
occurs, the process of arbitration begins. Each  
transmitter checks the level of the SDA data line and  
compares it to the level that it expects to find. The first  
transmitter to observe that the two levels do not match,  
loses arbitration, and must stop transmitting on the  
SDA line.  
For example, if one transmitter holds the SDA line to a  
logical one (lets it float) and a second transmitter holds  
it to a logical zero (pulls it low), the result is that the  
SDA line will be low. The first transmitter then observes  
that the level of the line is different than expected and  
concludes that another transmitter is communicating.  
The first transmitter to notice this difference is the one  
that loses arbitration and must stop driving the SDA  
line. If this transmitter is also a master device, it also  
must stop driving the SCL line. It then can monitor the  
lines for a Stop condition before trying to reissue its  
transmission. In the meantime, the other device that  
has not noticed any difference between the expected  
and actual levels on the SDA line continues with its  
original transmission.  
Slave Transmit mode can also be arbitrated, when a  
master addresses multiple slaves, but this is less  
common.

SDA HOLD TIME  
30.4 I C MODE OPERATION  
The hold time of the SDA pin is selected by the SDAHT  
bit of the SSPxCON3 register. Hold time is the time  
SDA is held valid after the falling edge of SCL. Setting  
the SDAHT bit selects a longer 300 ns minimum hold  
time and may help on buses with large capacitance.  
All MSSP I2C communication is byte oriented and  
shifted out MSb first. Six SFR registers and two  
interrupt flags interface the module with the PIC®  
microcontroller and user software. Two pins, SDA and  
SCL, are exercised by the module to communicate  
with other external I2C devices.

Description  
All communication in I2C is done in 9-bit segments. A  
byte is sent from a master to a slave or vice-versa,  
followed by an Acknowledge bit sent back. After the  
eighth falling edge of the SCL line, the device output-  
ting data on the SDA changes that pin to an input and  
reads in an acknowledge value on the next clock  
pulse.  
Transmitter  
The device which shifts data out  
onto the bus.  
Receiver  
Master  
The device which shifts data in  
from the bus.  
The device that initiates a transfer,  
generates clock signals and  
terminates a transfer.  
The clock signal, SCL, is provided by the master. Data  
is valid to change while the SCL signal is low, and  
sampled on the rising edge of the clock. Changes on  
the SDA line while the SCL line is high define special  
conditions on the bus, explained below.  
Slave  
The device addressed by the  
master.  
Multi-master  
Arbitration  
A bus with more than one device  
that can initiate data transfers.

Procedure to ensure that only one  
master at a time controls the bus.  
Winning arbitration ensures that  
the message is not corrupted.  
30.4.2  
DEFINITION OF I C TERMINOLOGY  
There is language and terminology in the description  
of I2C communication that have definitions specific to  
I2C. That word usage is defined below and may be  
used in the rest of this document without explanation.  
This table was adapted from the Philips I2C  
specification.  
Synchronization Procedure to synchronize the  
clocks of two or more devices on  
the bus.  
Idle  
No master is controlling the bus,  
and both SDA and SCL lines are  
high.  
30.4.3  
SDA AND SCL PINS  
When selecting any I2C mode, the SCL and SDA pins  
should be set by the user to inputs by setting the  
appropriate TRIS bits.  
Active  
Any time one or more master  
devices are controlling the bus.  
Addressed  
Slave  
Slave device that has received a  
matching address and is actively  
being clocked by a master.  
Note:  
Any device pin can be selected for SDA  
and SCL functions with the PPS  
peripheral.  
These  
functions  
are  
bidirectional. The SDA input is selected  
with the SSPDATPPS registers. The SCL  
input is selected with the SSPCLKPPS  
registers. Outputs are selected with the  
RxyPPS registers. It is the user’s  
responsibility to make the selections so  
that both the input and the output for each  
function is on the same pin.  
Matching  
Address  
Address byte that is clocked into a  
slave that matches the value  
stored in SPPxADD.  
Write Request  
Read Request  
Slave receives a matching  
address with R/W bit clear, and is  
ready to clock in data.  
Master sends an address byte with  
the R/W bit set, indicating that it  
wishes to clock data out of the  
Slave. This data is the next and all  
following bytes until a Restart or  
Stop.  
Clock Stretching When a device on the bus hold  
SCL low to stall communication.  
Bus Collision  
Any time the SDA line is sampled  
low by the module while it is out-  
putting and expected high state.

30.4.5  
START CONDITION  
30.4.7  
RESTART CONDITION  
The I2C specification defines a Start condition as a  
transition of SDA from a high to a low state while SCL  
line is high. A Start condition is always generated by  
the master and signifies the transition of the bus from  
an Idle to an Active state. Figure 30-12 shows wave  
forms for Start and Stop conditions.  
A Restart is valid any time that a Stop would be valid.  
A master can issue a Restart if it wishes to hold the  
bus after terminating the current transfer. A Restart  
has the same effect on the slave that a Start would,  
resetting all slave logic and preparing it to clock in an  
address. The master may want to address the same or  
another slave. Figure 30-13 shows the wave form for a  
Restart condition.  
30.4.6  
STOP CONDITION  
A Stop condition is a transition of the SDA line from  
low-to-high state while the SCL line is high.  
In 10-bit Addressing Slave mode a Restart is required  
for the master to clock data out of the addressed  
slave. Once a slave has been fully addressed, match-  
ing both high and low address bytes, the master can  
issue a Restart and the high address byte with the  
R/W bit set. The slave logic will then hold the clock  
and prepare to clock out data.  
Note: At least one SCL low time must appear  
before a Stop is valid, therefore, if the SDA  
line goes low then high again while the SCL  
line stays high, only the Start condition is  
detected.  
30.4.8  
START/STOP CONDITION  
INTERRUPT MASKING  
The SCIE and PCIE bits of the SSPxCON3 register  
can enable the generation of an interrupt in Slave  
modes that do not typically support this function. Slave  
modes where interrupt on Start and Stop detect are  
already enabled, these bits will have no effect.

30.4.9  
ACKNOWLEDGE SEQUENCE  
30.5 I C SLAVE MODE OPERATION  
The ninth SCL pulse for any transferred byte in I2C is  
dedicated as an Acknowledge. It allows receiving  
devices to respond back to the transmitter by pulling  
the SDA line low. The transmitter must release control  
of the line during this time to shift in the response. The  
Acknowledge (ACK) is an active-low signal, pulling the  
SDA line low indicates to the transmitter that the  
device has received the transmitted data and is ready  
to receive more.  
The MSSP Slave mode operates in one of four modes  
selected by the SSPM bits of SSPxCON1 register. The  
modes can be divided into 7-bit and 10-bit Addressing  
mode. 10-bit Addressing modes operate the same as  
7-bit with some additional overhead for handling the  
larger addresses.  
Modes with Start and Stop bit interrupts operate the  
same as the other modes with SSPxIF additionally  
getting set upon detection of a Start, Restart, or Stop  
condition.  
The result of an ACK is placed in the ACKSTAT bit of  
the SSPxCON2 register.  
30.5.1  
SLAVE MODE ADDRESSES  
Slave software, when the AHEN and DHEN bits are  
set, the clock is stretched, allowing the slave time to  
change the ACK value before it is sent back to the  
transmitter. The ACKDT bit of the SSPxCON2 register  
is set/cleared to determine the response.  
The SSPxADD register (Register 30-6) contains the  
Slave mode address. The first byte received after a  
Start or Restart condition is compared against the  
value stored in this register. If the byte matches, the  
value is loaded into the SSPxBUF register and an  
interrupt is generated. If the value does not match, the  
module goes idle and no indication is given to the  
software that anything happened.  
There are certain conditions where an ACK will not be  
sent by the slave. If the BF bit of the SSPxSTAT  
register or the SSPOV bit of the SSPxCON1 register  
are set when a byte is received.  
When the module is addressed, after the eighth falling  
edge of SCL on the bus, the ACKTIM bit of the  
SSPxCON3 register is set. The ACKTIM bit indicates  
the acknowledge time of the active bus. The ACKTIM  
Status bit is only active when the AHEN bit or DHEN  
bit is enabled.  
The SSP Mask register (Register 30-5) affects the  
address matching process. See Section 30.5.9 “SSP  
Mask Register” for more information.  
2
30.5.1.1  
I C Slave 7-bit Addressing Mode  
In 7-bit Addressing mode, the LSb of the received data  
byte is ignored when determining if there is an address  
match.  
2
30.5.1.2  
I C Slave 10-bit Addressing Mode  
In 10-bit Addressing mode, the first received byte is  
compared to the binary value of ‘1 1 1 1 0 A9 A8 0’. A9  
and A8 are the two MSb’s of the 10-bit address and  
stored in bits 2 and 1 of the SSPxADD register.  
After the acknowledge of the high byte the UA bit is set  
and SCL is held low until the user updates SSPxADD  
with the low address. The low address byte is clocked  
in and all eight bits are compared to the low address  
value in SSPxADD. Even if there is not an address  
match; SSPIF and UA are set, and SCL is held low  
until SSPxADD is updated to receive a high byte  
again. When SSPxADD is updated the UA bit is  
cleared. This ensures the module is ready to receive  
the high address byte on the next communication.  
A high and low address match as a write request is  
required at the start of all 10-bit addressing communi-  
cation. A transmission can be initiated by issuing a  
Restart once the slave is addressed, and clocking in  
the high address with the R/W bit set. The slave  
hardware will then acknowledge the read request and  
prepare to clock out data. This is only valid for a slave  
after it has received a complete high and low address  
byte match.

SLAVE RECEPTION  
30.5.2.2  
7-bit Reception with AHEN and  
DHEN  
When the R/W bit of a matching received address byte  
is clear, the R/W bit of the SSPxSTAT register is  
cleared. The received address is loaded into the  
SSPxBUF register and acknowledged.  
Slave device reception with AHEN and DHEN set  
operate the same as without these options with extra  
interrupts and clock stretching added after the eighth  
falling edge of SCL. These additional interrupts allow  
time for the slave software to decide whether it wants  
to ACK the receive address or data byte.  
When the Overflow condition exists for a received  
address, then not Acknowledge is given. An Overflow  
condition is defined as either bit BF of the SSPxSTAT  
register is set, or bit SSPOV of the SSPxCON1 register  
is set. The BOEN bit of the SSPxCON3 register modi-  
fies this operation. For more information see  
Register 30-4.  
This list describes the steps that need to be taken by  
slave software to use these options for I2C communi-  
cation. Figure 30-16 displays a module using both  
address and data holding. Figure 30-17 includes the  
operation with the SEN bit of the SSPxCON2 register  
set.  
An MSSP interrupt is generated for each transferred  
data byte. Flag bit, SSPxIF, must be cleared by  
software.  
1. S bit of SSPxSTAT is set; SSPxIF is set if  
interrupt on Start detect is enabled.  
When the SEN bit of the SSPxCON2 register is set,  
SCL will be held low (clock stretch) following each  
received byte. The clock must be released by setting  
the CKP bit of the SSPxCON1 register.  
2. Matching address with R/W bit clear is clocked  
in. SSPxIF is set and CKP cleared after the  
eighth falling edge of SCL.  
3. Slave clears the SSPxIF.  
30.5.2.1  
7-bit Addressing Reception  
4. Slave can look at the ACKTIM bit of the  
SSPxCON3 register to determine if the SSPxIF  
was after or before the ACK.  
This section describes a standard sequence of events  
for the MSSPx module configured as an I2C slave in  
7-bit Addressing mode. Figure 30-14 and Figure 30-15  
is used as a visual reference for this description.  
5. Slave reads the address value from SSPxBUF,  
clearing the BF flag.  
This is a step-by-step process of what typically must  
be done to accomplish I2C communication.  
6. Slave sets ACK value clocked out to the master  
by setting ACKDT.  
7. Slave releases the clock by setting CKP.  
1. Start bit detected.  
8. SSPxIF is set after an ACK, not after a NACK.  
2. S bit of SSPxSTAT is set; SSPxIF is set if inter-  
rupt on Start detect is enabled.  
9. If SEN = 1 the slave hardware will stretch the  
clock after the ACK.  
3. Matching address with R/W bit clear is received.  
10. Slave clears SSPxIF.  
4. The slave pulls SDA low sending an ACK to the  
master, and sets SSPxIF bit.  
Note: SSPxIF is still set after the ninth falling edge  
of SCL even if there is no clock stretching  
and BF has been cleared. Only if NACK is  
sent to master is SSPIF not set  
5. Software clears the SSPxIF bit.  
6. Software reads received address from  
SSPxBUF clearing the BF flag.  
7. If SEN = 1; Slave software sets CKP bit to  
11. SSPxIF set and CKP cleared after eighth falling  
edge of SCL for a received data byte.  
release the SCL line.  
8. The master clocks out a data byte.  
12. Slave looks at ACKTIM bit of SSPxCON3 to  
determine the source of the interrupt.  
9. Slave drives SDA low sending an ACK to the  
master, and sets SSPxIF bit.  
13. Slave reads the received data from SSPxBUF  
clearing BF.  
10. Software clears SSPxIF.  
11. Software reads the received byte from  
SSPxBUF clearing BF.  
14. Steps 7-14 are the same for each received data  
byte.  
12. Steps 8-12 are repeated for all received bytes  
from the master.  
15. Communication is ended by either the slave  
sending an ACK = 1, or the master sending a  
Stop condition. If a Stop is sent and Interrupt on  
Stop Detect is disabled, the slave will only know  
by polling the P bit of the SSPxSTAT register.  
13. Master sends Stop condition, setting P bit of  
SSPxSTAT, and the bus goes idle.

SLAVE TRANSMISSION  
30.5.3.2  
7-bit Transmission  
When the R/W bit of the incoming address byte is set  
and an address match occurs, the R/W bit of the  
SSPxSTAT register is set. The received address is  
loaded into the SSPxBUF register, and an ACK pulse is  
sent by the slave on the ninth bit.  
A master device can transmit a read request to a  
slave, and then clock data out of the slave. The list  
below outlines what software for a slave will need to  
do to accomplish  
a
standard transmission.  
Figure 30-18 can be used as a reference to this list.  
Following the ACK, slave hardware clears the CKP bit  
and the SCL pin is held low (see Section 30.5.6  
“Clock Stretching” for more detail). By stretching the  
clock, the master will be unable to assert another clock  
pulse until the slave is done preparing the transmit  
data.  
1. Master sends a Start condition on SDA and  
SCL.  
2. S bit of SSPxSTAT is set; SSPxIF is set if  
interrupt on Start detect is enabled.  
3. Matching address with R/W bit set is received by  
the Slave setting SSPxIF bit.  
The transmit data must be loaded into the SSPxBUF  
register which also loads the SSPxSR register. Then  
the SCL pin should be released by setting the CKP bit  
of the SSPxCON1 register. The eight data bits are  
shifted out on the falling edge of the SCL input. This  
ensures that the SDA signal is valid during the SCL  
high time.  
4. Slave hardware generates an ACK and sets  
SSPxIF.  
5. SSPxIF bit is cleared by user.  
6. Software reads the received address from  
SSPxBUF, clearing BF.  
7. R/W is set so CKP was automatically cleared  
after the ACK.  
The ACK pulse from the master-receiver is latched on  
the rising edge of the ninth SCL input pulse. This ACK  
value is copied to the ACKSTAT bit of the SSPxCON2  
register. If ACKSTAT is set (not ACK), then the data  
transfer is complete. When the not ACK is latched by the  
slave, the slave goes idle and waits for another  
occurrence of the Start bit. If the SDA line was low  
(ACK), the next transmit data must be loaded into the  
SSPxBUF register. Again, the SCL pin must be released  
by setting bit CKP.  
8. The slave software loads the transmit data into  
SSPxBUF.  
9. CKP bit is set releasing SCL, allowing the  
master to clock the data out of the slave.  
10. SSPxIF is set after the ACK response from the  
master is loaded into the ACKSTAT register.  
11. SSPxIF bit is cleared.  
12. The slave software checks the ACKSTAT bit to  
see if the master wants to clock out more data.  
An MSSP interrupt is generated for each data transfer  
byte. The SSPxIF bit must be cleared by software and  
the SSPxSTAT register is used to determine the status  
of the byte. The SSPxIF bit is set on the falling edge of  
the ninth clock pulse.  
Note 1: If the master ACKs the clock will be  
stretched.  
2: ACKSTAT is the only bit updated on the  
rising edge of SCL (9th) rather than the  
falling.  
30.5.3.1  
Slave Mode Bus Collision  
13. Steps 9-13 are repeated for each transmitted  
byte.  
A slave receives a Read request and begins shifting  
data out on the SDA line. If a bus collision is detected  
and the SBCDE bit of the SSPxCON3 register is set,  
the BCLIF bit of the PIR register is set. Once a bus col-  
lision is detected, the slave goes idle and waits to be  
addressed again. User software can use the BCLIF bit  
to handle a slave bus collision.  
14. If the master sends a not ACK; the clock is not  
held, but SSPxIF is still set.  
15. The master sends a Restart condition or a Stop.  
16. The slave is no longer addressed.

7-bit Transmission with Address  
Hold Enabled  
Setting the AHEN bit of the SSPxCON3 register  
enables additional clock stretching and interrupt  
generation after the eighth falling edge of a received  
matching address. Once a matching address has  
been clocked in, CKP is cleared and the SSPxIF  
interrupt is set.  
Figure 30-19 displays a standard waveform of a 7-bit  
address slave transmission with AHEN enabled.  
1. Bus starts Idle.  
2. Master sends Start condition; the S bit of  
SSPxSTAT is set; SSPxIF is set if interrupt on  
Start detect is enabled.  
3. Master sends matching address with R/W bit  
set. After the eighth falling edge of the SCL line  
the CKP bit is cleared and SSPxIF interrupt is  
generated.  
4. Slave software clears SSPxIF.  
5. Slave software reads ACKTIM bit of SSPxCON3  
register, and R/W and D/A of the SSPxSTAT  
register to determine the source of the interrupt.  
6. Slave reads the address value from the  
SSPxBUF register clearing the BF bit.  
7. Slave software decides from this information if it  
wishes to ACK or not ACK and sets the ACKDT  
bit of the SSPxCON2 register accordingly.  
8. Slave sets the CKP bit releasing SCL.  
9. Master clocks in the ACK value from the slave.  
10. Slave hardware automatically clears the CKP bit  
and sets SSPxIF after the ACK if the R/W bit is  
set.  
11. Slave software clears SSPxIF.  
12. Slave loads value to transmit to the master into  
SSPxBUF setting the BF bit.  
Note: SSPxBUF cannot be loaded until after the  
ACK.  
13. Slave sets the CKP bit releasing the clock.  
14. Master clocks out the data from the slave and  
sends an ACK value on the ninth SCL pulse.  
15. Slave hardware copies the ACK value into the  
ACKSTAT bit of the SSPxCON2 register.  
16. Steps 10-15 are repeated for each byte transmit-  
ted to the master from the slave.  
17. If the master sends a not ACK the slave  
releases the bus allowing the master to send a  
Stop and end the communication.  
Note: Master must send a not ACK on the last  
byte to ensure that the slave releases the  
SCL line to receive a Stop.

10-BIT ADDRESSING WITH  
ADDRESS OR DATA HOLD  
This section describes a standard sequence of events  
for the MSSPx module configured as an I2C slave in  
10-bit Addressing mode.  
Reception using 10-bit addressing with AHEN or  
DHEN set is the same as with 7-bit modes. The only  
difference is the need to update the SSPxADD register  
using the UA bit. All functionality, specifically when the  
CKP bit is cleared and SCL line is held low are the  
same. Figure 30-21 can be used as a reference of a  
slave in 10-bit addressing with AHEN set.  
Figure 30-20 is used as a visual reference for this  
description.  
This is a step-by-step process of what must be done  
by slave software to accomplish I2C communication.  
Figure 30-22 shows a standard waveform for a slave  
transmitter in 10-bit Addressing mode.  
1. Bus starts Idle.  
2. Master sends Start condition; S bit of SSPxSTAT  
is set; SSPxIF is set if interrupt on Start detect is  
enabled.  
3. Master sends matching high address with R/W  
bit clear; UA bit of the SSPxSTAT register is set.  
4. Slave sends ACK and SSPxIF is set.  
5. Software clears the SSPxIF bit.  
6. Software reads received address from  
SSPxBUF clearing the BF flag.  
7. Slave loads low address into SSPxADD,  
releasing SCL.  
8. Master sends matching low address byte to the  
slave; UA bit is set.  
Note: Updates to the SSPxADD register are not  
allowed until after the ACK sequence.  
9. Slave sends ACK and SSPxIF is set.  
Note: If the low address does not match, SSPxIF  
and UA are still set so that the slave  
software can set SSPxADD back to the high  
address. BF is not set because there is no  
match. CKP is unaffected.  
10. Slave clears SSPxIF.  
11. Slave reads the received matching address  
from SSPxBUF clearing BF.  
12. Slave loads high address into SSPxADD.  
13. Master clocks a data byte to the slave and  
clocks out the slaves ACK on the ninth SCL  
pulse; SSPxIF is set.  
14. If SEN bit of SSPxCON2 is set, CKP is cleared  
by hardware and the clock is stretched.  
15. Slave clears SSPxIF.  
16. Slave reads the received byte from SSPxBUF  
clearing BF.  
17. If SEN is set the slave sets CKP to release the  
SCL.  
18. Steps 13-17 repeat for each received byte.  
19. Master sends Stop to end the transmission.

CLOCK STRETCHING  
30.5.6.3  
Byte NACKing  
Clock stretching occurs when a device on the bus  
holds the SCL line low, effectively pausing communi-  
cation. The slave may stretch the clock to allow more  
time to handle data or prepare a response for the  
master device. A master device is not concerned with  
stretching as anytime it is active on the bus and not  
transferring data it is stretching. Any stretching done  
by a slave is invisible to the master software and  
handled by the hardware that generates SCL.  
When the AHEN bit of SSPxCON3 is set; CKP is  
cleared by hardware after the eighth falling edge of  
SCL for a received matching address byte. When the  
DHEN bit of SSPxCON3 is set; CKP is cleared after  
the eighth falling edge of SCL for received data.  
Stretching after the eighth falling edge of SCL allows  
the slave to look at the received address or data and  
decide if it wants to ACK the received data.  
30.5.7  
CLOCK SYNCHRONIZATION AND  
THE CKP BIT  
The CKP bit of the SSPxCON1 register is used to  
control stretching in software. Any time the CKP bit is  
cleared, the module will wait for the SCL line to go low  
and then hold it. Setting CKP will release SCL and  
allow more communication.  
Any time the CKP bit is cleared, the module will wait  
for the SCL line to go low and then hold it. However,  
clearing the CKP bit will not assert the SCL output low  
until the SCL output is already sampled low. There-  
fore, the CKP bit will not assert the SCL line until an  
external I2C master device has already asserted the  
SCL line. The SCL output will remain low until the CKP  
bit is set and all other devices on the I2C bus have  
released SCL. This ensures that a write to the CKP bit  
will not violate the minimum high time requirement for  
SCL (see Figure 30-23).  
30.5.6.1  
Normal Clock Stretching  
Following an ACK if the R/W bit of SSPxSTAT is set, a  
read request, the slave hardware will clear CKP. This  
allows the slave time to update SSPxBUF with data to  
transfer to the master. If the SEN bit of SSPxCON2 is  
set, the slave hardware will always stretch the clock  
after the ACK sequence. Once the slave is ready; CKP  
is set by software and communication resumes.  
30.5.6.2  
10-bit Addressing Mode  
In 10-bit Addressing mode, when the UA bit is set, the  
clock is always stretched. This is the only time the SCL  
is stretched without CKP being cleared. SCL is  
released immediately after a write to SSPxADD.  
Note: Previous versions of the module did not  
stretch the clock if the second address byte  
did not match.

a
general call reception  
The addressing procedure for the I2C bus is such that  
the first byte after the Start condition usually deter-  
mines which device will be the slave addressed by the  
master device. The exception is the general call  
address which can address all devices. When this  
address is used, all devices should, in theory, respond  
with an acknowledge.  
In 10-bit Address mode, the UA bit will not be set on  
the reception of the general call address. The slave  
will prepare to receive the second byte as data, just as  
it would in 7-bit mode.  
If the AHEN bit of the SSPxCON3 register is set, just  
as with any other address reception, the slave hard-  
ware will stretch the clock after the eighth falling edge  
of SCL. The slave must then set its ACKDT value and  
release the clock with communication progressing as it  
would normally.  
The general call address is a reserved address in the  
I2C protocol, defined as address 0x00. When the  
GCEN bit of the SSPxCON2 register is set, the slave  
module will automatically ACK the reception of this  
address regardless of the value stored in SSPxADD.  
After the slave clocks in an address of all zeros with

SSP MASK REGISTER  
An SSP Mask (SPPxMSK) register (Register 30-5) is  
available in I2C Slave mode as a mask for the value  
held in the SSPxSR register during an address  
comparison operation. A zero (‘0’) bit in the SSPxMSK  
register has the effect of making the corresponding bit  
of the received address a “don’t care”.  
This register is reset to all ‘1’s upon any Reset  
condition and, therefore, has no effect on standard  
SSP operation until written with a mask value.  
The SSP Mask register is active during:  
• 7-bit Address mode: address compare of A<7:1>.  
• 10-bit Address mode: address compare of A<7:0>  
only. The SSP mask has no effect during the  
reception of the first (high) byte of the address.

30.6.1  
I C MASTER MODE OPERATION  
30.6 I C Master Mode  
The master device generates all of the serial clock  
pulses and the Start and Stop conditions. A transfer is  
ended with a Stop condition or with a Repeated Start  
condition. Since the Repeated Start condition is also  
the beginning of the next serial transfer, the I2C bus will  
not be released.  
Master mode is enabled by setting and clearing the  
appropriate SSPM<3:0> bits in the SSPxCON1 register  
and by setting the SSPEN bit. In Master mode, the SDA  
and SCK pins must be configured as inputs. The MSSP  
peripheral hardware will override the output driver TRIS  
controls when necessary to drive the pins low.  
In Master Transmitter mode, serial data is output  
through SDA, while SCL outputs the serial clock. The  
first byte transmitted contains the slave address of the  
receiving device (7 bits) and the Read/Write (R/W) bit.  
In this case, the R/W bit will be logic ‘0’. Serial data is  
transmitted eight bits at a time. After each byte is  
transmitted, an Acknowledge bit is received. Start and  
Stop conditions are output to indicate the beginning  
and the end of a serial transfer.  
Master mode of operation is supported by interrupt  
generation on the detection of the Start and Stop  
conditions. The Stop (P) and Start (S) bits are cleared  
from a Reset or when the MSSPx module is disabled.  
Control of the I2C bus may be taken when the P bit is  
set, or the bus is Idle.  
In Firmware Controlled Master mode, user code  
conducts all I2C bus operations based on Start and  
Stop bit condition detection. Start and Stop condition  
detection is the only active circuitry in this mode. All  
other communication is done by the user software  
directly manipulating the SDA and SCL lines.  
In Master Receive mode, the first byte transmitted  
contains the slave address of the transmitting device  
(7 bits) and the R/W bit. In this case, the R/W bit will be  
logic ‘1’. Thus, the first byte transmitted is a 7-bit slave  
address followed by a ‘1’ to indicate the receive bit.  
Serial data is received via SDA, while SCL outputs the  
serial clock. Serial data is received eight bits at a time.  
After each byte is received, an Acknowledge bit is  
transmitted. Start and Stop conditions indicate the  
beginning and end of transmission.  
The following events will cause the SSP Interrupt Flag  
bit, SSPxIF, to be set (SSP interrupt, if enabled):  
• Start condition generation  
• Stop condition generation  
• Data transfer byte transmitted/received  
• Acknowledge transmitted/received  
• Repeated Start generated  
A Baud Rate Generator is used to set the clock  
frequency output on SCL. See Section 30.7 “Baud  
Rate Generator” for more detail.  
Note 1: The MSSPx module, when configured in  
I2C Master mode, does not allow queuing  
of events. For instance, the user is not  
allowed to initiate a Start condition and  
immediately write the SSPxBUF register  
to initiate transmission before the Start  
condition is complete. In this case, the  
SSPxBUF will not be written to and the  
WCOL bit will be set, indicating that a  
write to the SSPxBUF did not occur  
2: When in Master mode, Start/Stop  
detection is masked and an interrupt is  
generated when the SEN/PEN bit is  
cleared and the generation is complete.

CLOCK ARBITRATION  
Clock arbitration occurs when the master, during any  
receive, transmit or Repeated Start/Stop condition,  
releases the SCL pin (SCL allowed to float high). When  
the SCL pin is allowed to float high, the Baud Rate  
Generator (BRG) is suspended from counting until the  
SCL pin is actually sampled high. When the SCL pin is  
sampled high, the Baud Rate Generator is reloaded  
with the contents of SSPxADD<7:0> and begins count-  
ing. This ensures that the SCL high time will always be  
at least one BRG rollover count in the event that the  
clock is held low by an external device (Figure 30-25).

WCOL STATUS FLAG  
If the user writes the SSPxBUF when a Start, Restart,  
Stop, Receive or Transmit sequence is in progress, the  
WCOL is set and the contents of the buffer are  
unchanged (the write does not occur). Any time the  
WCOL bit is set it indicates that an action on SSPxBUF  
was attempted while the module was not idle.  
Note:  
Because queuing of events is not allowed,  
writing to the lower five bits of SSPxCON2  
is disabled until the Start condition is  
complete.

I C MASTER MODE START  
CONDITION TIMING  
To initiate a Start condition (Figure 30-26), the user  
sets the Start Enable bit, SEN bit of the SSPxCON2  
register. If the SDA and SCL pins are sampled high,  
the Baud Rate Generator is reloaded with the contents  
of SSPxADD<7:0> and starts its count. If SCL and  
SDA are both sampled high when the Baud Rate  
Generator times out (TBRG), the SDA pin is driven low.  
The action of the SDA being driven low while SCL is  
high is the Start condition and causes the S bit of the  
SSPxSTAT register to be set. Following this, the Baud  
Rate Generator is reloaded with the contents of  
SSPxADD<7:0> and resumes its count. When the  
Baud Rate Generator times out (TBRG), the SEN bit of  
the SSPxCON2 register will be automatically cleared  
by hardware; the Baud Rate Generator is suspended,  
leaving the SDA line held low and the Start condition is  
complete.  
Note 1: If at the beginning of the Start condition,  
the SDA and SCL pins are already  
sampled low, or if during the Start condi-  
tion, the SCL line is sampled low before  
the SDA line is driven low, a bus collision  
occurs, the Bus Collision Interrupt Flag,  
BCLIF, is set, the Start condition is  
aborted and the I2C module is reset into  
its idle state.  
2: The Philips I2C specification states that a  
bus collision cannot occur on a Start.

I C MASTER MODE REPEATED  
START CONDITION TIMING  
A Repeated Start condition (Figure 30-27) occurs when  
the RSEN bit of the SSPxCON2 register is  
programmed high and the master state machine is no  
longer active. When the RSEN bit is set, the SCL pin is  
asserted low. When the SCL pin is sampled low, the  
Baud Rate Generator is loaded and begins counting.  
The SDA pin is released (brought high) for one Baud  
Rate Generator count (TBRG). When the Baud Rate  
Generator times out, if SDA is sampled high, the SCL  
pin will be deasserted (brought high). When SCL is  
sampled high, the Baud Rate Generator is reloaded  
and begins counting. SDA and SCL must be sampled  
high for one TBRG. This action is then followed by  
assertion of the SDA pin (SDA = 0) for one TBRG while  
SCL is high. SCL is asserted low. Following this, the  
RSEN bit of the SSPxCON2 register will be  
automatically cleared and the Baud Rate Generator will  
not be reloaded, leaving the SDA pin held low. As soon  
as a Start condition is detected on the SDA and SCL  
pins, the S bit of the SSPxSTAT register will be set. The  
SSPxIF bit will not be set until the Baud Rate Generator  
has timed out.  
Note 1: If RSEN is programmed while any other  
event is in progress, it will not take effect.  
2: A bus collision during the Repeated Start  
condition occurs if:  
SDA is sampled low when SCL  
goes from low-to-high.  
SCL goes low before SDA is  
asserted low. This may indicate  
that another master is attempting  
to transmit a data ‘1’.

I C MASTER MODE  
30.6.6.3  
ACKSTAT Status Flag  
TRANSMISSION  
In Transmit mode, the ACKSTAT bit of the SSPxCON2  
register is cleared when the slave has sent an  
Acknowledge (ACK = 0) and is set when the slave  
does not Acknowledge (ACK = 1). A slave sends an  
Acknowledge when it has recognized its address  
(including a general call), or when the slave has  
properly received its data.  
Transmission of a data byte, a 7-bit address or the  
other half of a 10-bit address is accomplished by simply  
writing a value to the SSPxBUF register. This action will  
set the Buffer Full flag bit, BF, and allow the Baud Rate  
Generator to begin counting and start the next  
transmission. Each bit of address/data will be shifted  
out onto the SDA pin after the falling edge of SCL is  
asserted. SCL is held low for one Baud Rate Generator  
rollover count (TBRG). Data should be valid before SCL  
is released high. When the SCL pin is released high, it  
is held that way for TBRG. The data on the SDA pin  
must remain stable for that duration and some hold  
time after the next falling edge of SCL. After the eighth  
bit is shifted out (the falling edge of the eighth clock),  
the BF flag is cleared and the master releases SDA.  
This allows the slave device being addressed to  
respond with an ACK bit during the ninth bit time if an  
address match occurred, or if data was received  
properly. The status of ACK is written into the  
ACKSTAT bit on the rising edge of the ninth clock. If the  
master receives an Acknowledge, the Acknowledge  
Status bit, ACKSTAT, is cleared. If not, the bit is set.  
After the ninth clock, the SSPIF bit is set and the master  
clock (Baud Rate Generator) is suspended until the  
next data byte is loaded into the SSPxBUF, leaving  
SCL low and SDA unchanged (Figure 30-28).  
30.6.6.4  
Typical Transmit Sequence  
1. The user generates a Start condition by setting  
the SEN bit of the SSPxCON2 register.  
2. SSPxIF is set by hardware on completion of the  
Start.  
3. SSPxIF is cleared by software.  
4. The MSSPx module will wait the required start  
time before any other operation takes place.  
5. The user loads the SSPxBUF with the slave  
address to transmit.  
6. Address is shifted out the SDA pin until all eight  
bits are transmitted. Transmission begins as  
soon as SSPxBUF is written to.  
7. The MSSPx module shifts in the ACK bit from  
the slave device and writes its value into the  
ACKSTAT bit of the SSPxCON2 register.  
8. The MSSPx module generates an interrupt at  
the end of the ninth clock cycle by setting the  
SSPxIF bit.  
After the write to the SSPxBUF, each bit of the address  
will be shifted out on the falling edge of SCL until all  
seven address bits and the R/W bit are completed. On  
the falling edge of the eighth clock, the master will  
release the SDA pin, allowing the slave to respond with  
an Acknowledge. On the falling edge of the ninth clock,  
the master will sample the SDA pin to see if the address  
was recognized by a slave. The status of the ACK bit is  
loaded into the ACKSTAT Status bit of the SSPxCON2  
register. Following the falling edge of the ninth clock  
transmission of the address, the SSPxIF is set, the BF  
flag is cleared and the Baud Rate Generator is turned  
off until another write to the SSPxBUF takes place,  
holding SCL low and allowing SDA to float.  
9. The user loads the SSPxBUF with eight bits of  
data.  
10. Data is shifted out the SDA pin until all eight bits  
are transmitted.  
11. The MSSPx module shifts in the ACK bit from  
the slave device and writes its value into the  
ACKSTAT bit of the SSPxCON2 register.  
12. Steps 8-11 are repeated for all transmitted data  
bytes.  
13. The user generates a Stop or Restart condition  
by setting the PEN or RSEN bits of the  
SSPxCON2 register. Interrupt is generated once  
the Stop/Restart condition is complete.  
30.6.6.1  
BF Status Flag  
In Transmit mode, the BF bit of the SSPxSTAT register  
is set when the CPU writes to SSPxBUF and is cleared  
when all eight bits are shifted out.  
30.6.6.2  
WCOL Status Flag  
If the user writes the SSPxBUF when a transmit is  
already in progress (i.e., SSPxSR is still shifting out a  
data byte), the WCOL bit is set and the contents of the  
buffer are unchanged (the write does not occur).  
WCOL must be cleared by software before the next  
transmission.

I C MASTER MODE RECEPTION  
30.6.7.4  
Typical Receive Sequence:  
Master mode reception (Figure 30-29) is enabled by  
programming the Receive Enable bit, RCEN bit of the  
SSPxCON2 register.  
1. The user generates a Start condition by setting  
the SEN bit of the SSPxCON2 register.  
2. SSPxIF is set by hardware on completion of the  
Start.  
Note:  
The MSSPx module must be in an Idle  
state before the RCEN bit is set or the  
RCEN bit will be disregarded.  
3. SSPxIF is cleared by software.  
4. User writes SSPxBUF with the slave address to  
transmit and the R/W bit set.  
The Baud Rate Generator begins counting and on each  
rollover, the state of the SCL pin changes  
(high-to-low/low-to-high) and data is shifted into the  
SSPxSR. After the falling edge of the eighth clock, the  
receive enable flag is automatically cleared, the  
contents of the SSPxSR are loaded into the SSPxBUF,  
the BF flag bit is set, the SSPxIF flag bit is set and the  
Baud Rate Generator is suspended from counting,  
holding SCL low. The MSSPx is now in Idle state  
awaiting the next command. When the buffer is read by  
the CPU, the BF flag bit is automatically cleared. The  
user can then send an Acknowledge bit at the end of  
reception by setting the Acknowledge Sequence  
Enable, ACKEN bit of the SSPxCON2 register.  
5. Address is shifted out the SDA pin until all eight  
bits are transmitted. Transmission begins as  
soon as SSPxBUF is written to.  
6. The MSSPx module shifts in the ACK bit from  
the slave device and writes its value into the  
ACKSTAT bit of the SSPxCON2 register.  
7. The MSSPx module generates an interrupt at  
the end of the ninth clock cycle by setting the  
SSPxIF bit.  
8. User sets the RCEN bit of the SSPxCON2 regis-  
ter and the master clocks in a byte from the slave.  
9. After the eighth falling edge of SCL, SSPxIF and  
BF are set.  
10. Master clears SSPxIF and reads the received  
byte from SSPxBUF, clears BF.  
30.6.7.1  
BF Status Flag  
In receive operation, the BF bit is set when an address  
or data byte is loaded into SSPxBUF from SSPxSR. It  
is cleared when the SSPxBUF register is read.  
11. Master sets ACK value sent to slave in ACKDT  
bit of the SSPxCON2 register and initiates the  
ACK by setting the ACKEN bit.  
12. Master’s ACK is clocked out to the slave and  
SSPxIF is set.  
30.6.7.2  
SSPOV Status Flag  
In receive operation, the SSPOV bit is set when eight  
bits are received into the SSPxSR and the BF flag bit is  
already set from a previous reception.  
13. User clears SSPIF.  
14. Steps 8-13 are repeated for each received byte  
from the slave.  
30.6.7.3  
WCOL Status Flag  
15. Master sends a not ACK or Stop to end  
communication.  
If the user writes the SSPxBUF when a receive is  
already in progress (i.e., SSPxSR is still shifting in a  
data byte), the WCOL bit is set and the contents of the  
buffer are unchanged (the write does not occur).

ACKNOWLEDGE SEQUENCE  
TIMING  
30.6.9  
STOP CONDITION TIMING  
A Stop bit is asserted on the SDA pin at the end of a  
receive/transmit by setting the Stop Sequence Enable  
bit, PEN bit of the SSPxCON2 register. At the end of a  
receive/transmit, the SCL line is held low after the  
falling edge of the ninth clock. When the PEN bit is set,  
the master will assert the SDA line low. When the SDA  
line is sampled low, the Baud Rate Generator is  
reloaded and counts down to ‘0’. When the Baud Rate  
Generator times out, the SCL pin will be brought high  
and one TBRG (Baud Rate Generator rollover count)  
later, the SDA pin will be deasserted. When the SDA  
pin is sampled high while SCL is high, the P bit of the  
SSPxSTAT register is set. A TBRG later, the PEN bit is  
cleared and the SSPxIF bit is set (Figure 30-31).  
An Acknowledge sequence is enabled by setting the  
Acknowledge Sequence Enable bit, ACKEN bit of the  
SSPxCON2 register. When this bit is set, the SCL pin is  
pulled low and the contents of the Acknowledge data bit  
are presented on the SDA pin. If the user wishes to  
generate an Acknowledge, then the ACKDT bit should  
be cleared. If not, the user should set the ACKDT bit  
before starting an Acknowledge sequence. The Baud  
Rate Generator then counts for one rollover period  
(TBRG) and the SCL pin is deasserted (pulled high).  
When the SCL pin is sampled high (clock arbitration),  
the Baud Rate Generator counts for TBRG. The SCL pin  
is then pulled low. Following this, the ACKEN bit is auto-  
matically cleared, the Baud Rate Generator is turned off  
and the MSSPx module then goes into Idle mode  
(Figure 30-30).

30.6.10 SLEEP OPERATION  
30.6.13 MULTI -MASTER COMMUNICATION,  
BUS COLLISION AND BUS  
While in Sleep mode, the I2C slave module can receive  
addresses or data and when an address match or  
complete byte transfer occurs, wake the processor  
from Sleep (if the MSSP interrupt is enabled).  
ARBITRATION  
Multi-Master mode support is achieved by bus arbitra-  
tion. When the master outputs address/data bits onto  
the SDA pin, arbitration takes place when the master  
outputs a ‘1’ on SDA, by letting SDA float high and  
another master asserts a ‘0’. When the SCL pin floats  
high, data should be stable. If the expected data on  
SDA is a ‘1’ and the data sampled on the SDA pin is ‘0’,  
then a bus collision has taken place. The master will set  
the Bus Collision Interrupt Flag, BCLIF and reset the  
I2C port to its Idle state (Figure 30-32).  
30.6.11 EFFECTS OF A RESET  
A Reset disables the MSSPx module and terminates  
the current transfer.  
30.6.12 MULTI-MASTER MODE  
In Multi-Master mode, the interrupt generation on the  
detection of the Start and Stop conditions allows the  
determination of when the bus is free. The Stop (P) and  
Start (S) bits are cleared from a Reset or when the  
MSSPx module is disabled. Control of the I2C bus may  
be taken when the P bit of the SSPxSTAT register is  
set, or the bus is Idle, with both the S and P bits clear.  
When the bus is busy, enabling the SSP interrupt will  
generate the interrupt when the Stop condition occurs.  
If a transmit was in progress when the bus collision  
occurred, the transmission is halted, the BF flag is  
cleared, the SDA and SCL lines are deasserted and the  
SSPxBUF can be written to. When the user services  
the bus collision Interrupt Service Routine and if the I2C  
bus is free, the user can resume communication by  
asserting a Start condition.  
In multi-master operation, the SDA line must be  
monitored for arbitration to see if the signal level is the  
expected output level. This check is performed by  
hardware with the result placed in the BCL1IF bit.  
If a Start, Repeated Start, Stop or Acknowledge  
condition was in progress when the bus collision  
occurred, the condition is aborted, the SDA and SCL  
lines are deasserted and the respective control bits in  
the SSPxCON2 register are cleared. When the user  
services the bus collision Interrupt Service Routine and  
if the I2C bus is free, the user can resume  
communication by asserting a Start condition.  
The states where arbitration can be lost are:  
• Address Transfer  
• Data Transfer  
• A Start Condition  
• A Repeated Start Condition  
• An Acknowledge Condition  
The master will continue to monitor the SDA and SCL  
pins. If a Stop condition occurs, the SSPxIF bit will be set.  
A write to the SSPxBUF will start the transmission of  
data at the first data bit, regardless of where the  
transmitter left off when the bus collision occurred.  
In Multi-Master mode, the interrupt generation on the  
detection of Start and Stop conditions allows the deter-  
mination of when the bus is free. Control of the I2C bus  
can be taken when the P bit is set in the SSPxSTAT  
register, or the bus is Idle and the S and P bits are  
cleared.

If the SDA pin is sampled low during this count, the  
BRG is reset and the SDA line is asserted early  
(Figure 30-35). If, however, a ‘1’ is sampled on the SDA  
pin, the SDA pin is asserted low at the end of the BRG  
count. The Baud Rate Generator is then reloaded and  
counts down to zero; if the SCL pin is sampled as ‘0’  
during this time, a bus collision does not occur. At the  
end of the BRG count, the SCL pin is asserted low.  
30.6.13.1 Bus Collision During a Start  
Condition  
During a Start condition, a bus collision occurs if:  
a) SDA or SCL are sampled low at the beginning of  
the Start condition (Figure 30-33).  
b) SCL is sampled low before SDA is asserted low  
(Figure 30-34).  
During a Start condition, both the SDA and the SCL  
pins are monitored.  
Note:  
The reason that bus collision is not a  
factor during a Start condition is that no  
two bus masters can assert a Start condi-  
tion at the exact same time. Therefore,  
one master will always assert SDA before  
the other. This condition does not cause a  
bus collision because the two masters  
must be allowed to arbitrate the first  
address following the Start condition. If the  
address is the same, arbitration must be  
allowed to continue into the data portion,  
Repeated Start or Stop conditions.  
If the SDA pin is already low, or the SCL pin is already  
low, then all of the following occur:  
• the Start condition is aborted,  
• the BCL1IF flag is set and  
the MSSPx module is reset to its Idle state  
(Figure 30-33).  
The Start condition begins with the SDA and SCL pins  
deasserted. When the SDA pin is sampled high, the  
Baud Rate Generator is loaded and counts down. If the  
SCL pin is sampled low while SDA is high, a bus  
collision occurs because it is assumed that another  
master is attempting to drive a data ‘1’ during the Start  
condition.

If SDA is low, a bus collision has occurred (i.e., another  
master is attempting to transmit a data ‘0’, Figure 30-36).  
If SDA is sampled high, the BRG is reloaded and begins  
counting. If SDA goes from high-to-low before the BRG  
times out, no bus collision occurs because no two  
masters can assert SDA at exactly the same time.  
30.6.13.2 Bus Collision During a Repeated  
Start Condition  
During a Repeated Start condition, a bus collision  
occurs if:  
a) A low level is sampled on SDA when SCL goes  
from low level to high level (Case 1).  
If SCL goes from high-to-low before the BRG times out  
and SDA has not already been asserted, a bus collision  
occurs. In this case, another master is attempting to  
transmit a data ‘1’ during the Repeated Start condition,  
see Figure 30-37.  
b) SCL goes low before SDA is asserted low,  
indicating that another master is attempting to  
transmit a data ‘1’ (Case 2).  
When the user releases SDA and the pin is allowed to  
float high, the BRG is loaded with SSPxADD and  
counts down to zero. The SCL pin is then deasserted  
and when sampled high, the SDA pin is sampled.  
If, at the end of the BRG time-out, both SCL and SDA  
are still high, the SDA pin is driven low and the BRG is  
reloaded and begins counting. At the end of the count,  
regardless of the status of the SCL pin, the SCL pin is  
driven low and the Repeated Start condition is  
complete.

The Stop condition begins with SDA asserted low.  
When SDA is sampled low, the SCL pin is allowed to  
float. When the pin is sampled high (clock arbitration),  
the Baud Rate Generator is loaded with SSPxADD and  
counts down to zero. After the BRG times out, SDA is  
sampled. If SDA is sampled low, a bus collision has  
occurred. This is due to another master attempting to  
drive a data ‘0’ (Figure 30-38). If the SCL pin is sampled  
low before SDA is allowed to float high, a bus collision  
occurs. This is another case of another master  
attempting to drive a data ‘0’ (Figure 30-39).  
30.6.13.3 Bus Collision During a Stop  
Condition  
Bus collision occurs during a Stop condition if:  
a) After the SDA pin has been deasserted and  
allowed to float high, SDA is sampled low after  
the BRG has timed out (Case 1).  
b) After the SCL pin is deasserted, SCL is sampled  
low before SDA goes high (Case 2).

30.7 Baud Rate Generator  
The MSSPx module has a Baud Rate Generator avail-  
able for clock generation in both I2C and SPI Master  
modes. The Baud Rate Generator (BRG) reload value  
is placed in the SSPxADD register (Register 30-6).  
When a write occurs to SSPxBUF, the Baud Rate  
Generator will automatically begin counting down.  
Once the given operation is complete, the internal clock  
will automatically stop counting and the clock pin will  
remain in its last state.  
An internal signal “Reload” in Figure 30-40 triggers the  
value from SSPxADD to be loaded into the BRG  
counter. This occurs twice for each oscillation of the  
module clock line. The logic dictating when the reload  
signal is asserted depends on the mode the MSSPx is  
being operated in.  
Table 30-4 demonstrates clock rates based on  
instruction cycles and the BRG value loaded into  
SPPxADD.

communications peripheral. It contains all the clock  
generators, shift registers and data buffers necessary  
to perform an input or output serial data transfer  
independent of device program execution. The  
EUSART1, also known as a Serial Communications

The EUSART1 module implements the following  
additional features, making it ideally suited for use in  
Local Interconnect Network (LIN) bus systems:  
communications with peripheral systems, such as CRT  
terminals and personal computers. Half-Duplex  
Synchronous mode is intended for communications  
with peripheral devices, such as A/D or D/A integrated  
circuits, serial EEPROMs or other microcontrollers.  
These devices typically do not have internal clocks for  
baud rate generation and require the external clock  
signal provided by a master synchronous device.

The operation of the EUSART1 module is controlled  
through three registers:  
• Transmit Status and Control (TX1STA)  
• Receive Status and Control (RC1STA)  
• Baud Rate Control (BAUD1CON)  
These registers are detailed in Register 31-1,  
Register 31-2 and Register 31-3, respectively.  
The RX and CK input pins are selected with the RXPPS  
and CKPPS registers, respectively. TX, CK, and DT  
output pins are selected with each pin’s RxyPPS register.  
Since the RX input is coupled with the DT output in  
Synchronous mode, it is the user’s responsibility to select  
the same pin for both of these functions when operating  
in Synchronous mode. The EUSART1 control logic will  
control the data direction drivers automatically.

31.1.1.2  
Transmitting Data  
31.1 EUSART1 Asynchronous Mode  
A transmission is initiated by writing a character to the  
TX1REG register. If this is the first character, or the  
previous character has been completely flushed from  
the TSR, the data in the TX1REG is immediately  
transferred to the TSR register. If the TSR still contains  
all or part of a previous character, the new character  
data is held in the TX1REG until the Stop bit of the  
previous character has been transmitted. The pending  
character in the TX1REG is then transferred to the TSR  
in one TCY immediately following the Stop bit  
transmission. The transmission of the Start bit, data bits  
and Stop bit sequence commences immediately  
following the transfer of the data to the TSR from the  
TX1REG.  
The EUSART1 transmits and receives data using the  
standard non-return-to-zero (NRZ) format. NRZ is  
implemented with two levels: a VOH Mark state which  
represents a ‘1’ data bit, and a VOL Space state which  
represents a ‘0’ data bit. NRZ refers to the fact that  
consecutively transmitted data bits of the same value  
stay at the output level of that bit without returning to a  
neutral level between each bit transmission. An NRZ  
transmission port idles in the Mark state. Each character  
transmission consists of one Start bit followed by eight  
or nine data bits and is always terminated by one or  
more Stop bits. The Start bit is always a space and the  
Stop bits are always marks. The most common data  
format is eight bits. Each transmitted bit persists for a  
period of 1/(Baud Rate). An on-chip dedicated  
8-bit/16-bit Baud Rate Generator is used to derive  
standard baud rate frequencies from the system  
oscillator. See Table 31-3 for examples of baud rate  
configurations.  
31.1.1.3  
Transmit Data Polarity  
The polarity of the transmit data can be controlled with  
the SCKP bit of the BAUD1CON register. The default  
state of this bit is ‘0’ which selects high true transmit idle  
and data bits. Setting the SCKP bit to ‘1’ will invert the  
transmit data resulting in low true idle and data bits. The  
SCKP bit controls transmit data polarity in  
Asynchronous mode only. In Synchronous mode, the  
SCKP bit has a different function. See Section 31.4.1.2  
“Clock Polarity”.  
The EUSART1 transmits and receives the LSb first.  
The EUSART1’s transmitter and receiver are function-  
ally independent, but share the same data format and  
baud rate. Parity is not supported by the hardware, but  
can be implemented in software and stored as the ninth  
data bit.  
31.1.1.4  
Transmit Interrupt Flag  
31.1.1  
EUSART1 ASYNCHRONOUS  
TRANSMITTER  
The TXIF interrupt flag bit of the PIR1 register is set  
whenever the EUSART1 transmitter is enabled and no  
character is being held for transmission in the TX1REG.  
In other words, the TXIF bit is only clear when the TSR  
is busy with a character and a new character has been  
queued for transmission in the TX1REG. The TXIF flag  
bit is not cleared immediately upon writing TX1REG.  
TXIF becomes valid in the second instruction cycle  
following the write execution. Polling TXIF immediately  
following the TX1REG write will return invalid results.  
The TXIF bit is read-only, it cannot be set or cleared by  
software.  
The EUSART1 transmitter block diagram is shown in  
Figure 31-1. The heart of the transmitter is the serial  
Transmit Shift Register (TSR), which is not directly  
accessible by software. The TSR obtains its data from  
the transmit buffer, which is the TX1REG register.  
31.1.1.1  
Enabling the Transmitter  
The EUSART1 transmitter is enabled for asynchronous  
operations by configuring the following three control  
bits:  
• TXEN = 1  
• SYNC = 0  
• SPEN = 1  
The TXIF interrupt can be enabled by setting the TXIE  
interrupt enable bit of the PIE1 register. However, the  
TXIF flag bit will be set whenever the TX1REG is  
empty, regardless of the state of TXIE enable bit.  
All other EUSART1 control bits are assumed to be in  
their default state.  
To use interrupts when transmitting data, set the TXIE  
bit only when there is more data to send. Clear the  
TXIE interrupt enable bit upon writing the last character  
of the transmission to the TX1REG.  
Setting the TXEN bit of the TX1STA register enables the  
transmitter circuitry of the EUSART1. Clearing the  
SYNC bit of the TX1STA register configures the  
EUSART1 for asynchronous operation. Setting the  
SPEN bit of the RC1STA register enables the EUSART1  
and automatically configures the TX/CK I/O pin as an  
output. If the TX/CK pin is shared with an analog  
peripheral, the analog I/O function must be disabled by  
clearing the corresponding ANSEL bit.  
Note:  
The TXIF Transmitter Interrupt flag is set  
when the TXEN enable bit is set.

31.1.1.5  
TSR Status  
31.1.1.7  
Asynchronous Transmission Setup  
The TRMT bit of the TX1STA register indicates the  
status of the TSR register. This is a read-only bit. The  
TRMT bit is set when the TSR register is empty and is  
cleared when a character is transferred to the TSR  
register from the TX1REG. The TRMT bit remains clear  
until all bits have been shifted out of the TSR register.  
No interrupt logic is tied to this bit, so the user has to  
poll this bit to determine the TSR status.  
1. Initialize the SP1BRGH, SP1BRGL register pair  
and the BRGH and BRG16 bits to achieve the  
desired baud rate (see Section 31.3 “EUSART1  
Baud Rate Generator (BRG)”).  
2. Enable the asynchronous serial port by clearing  
the SYNC bit and setting the SPEN bit.  
3. If 9-bit transmission is desired, set the TX9  
control bit. A set ninth data bit will indicate that  
the eight Least Significant data bits are an  
address when the receiver is set for address  
detection.  
Note:  
The TSR register is not mapped in data  
memory, so it is not available to the user.  
4. Set SCKP bit if inverted transmit is desired.  
31.1.1.6  
Transmitting 9-bit Characters  
5. Enable the transmission by setting the TXEN  
control bit. This will cause the TXIF interrupt bit  
to be set.  
The EUSART1 supports 9-bit character transmissions.  
When the TX9 bit of the TX1STA register is set, the  
EUSART1 will shift nine bits out for each character  
transmitted. The TX9D bit of the TX1STA register is the  
ninth, and Most Significant data bit. When transmitting  
9-bit data, the TX9D data bit must be written before  
writing the eight Least Significant bits into the TX1REG.  
All nine bits of data will be transferred to the TSR shift  
register immediately after the TX1REG is written.  
6. If interrupts are desired, set the TXIE interrupt  
enable bit of the PIE1 register. An interrupt will  
occur immediately provided that the GIE and  
PEIE bits of the INTCON register are also set.  
7. If 9-bit transmission is selected, the ninth bit  
should be loaded into the TX9D data bit.  
8. Load 8-bit data into the TX1REG register. This  
will start the transmission.  
A special 9-bit Address mode is available for use with  
multiple receivers. See Section 31.1.2.7 “Address  
Detection” for more information on the Address mode.

EUSART1 ASYNCHRONOUS  
RECEIVER  
31.1.2.2  
Receiving Data  
The receiver data recovery circuit initiates character  
reception on the falling edge of the first bit. The first bit,  
also known as the Start bit, is always a zero. The data  
recovery circuit counts one-half bit time to the center of  
the Start bit and verifies that the bit is still a zero. If it is  
not a zero then the data recovery circuit aborts  
character reception, without generating an error, and  
resumes looking for the falling edge of the Start bit. If  
the Start bit zero verification succeeds then the data  
recovery circuit counts a full bit time to the center of the  
next bit. The bit is then sampled by a majority detect  
circuit and the resulting ‘0’ or ‘1’ is shifted into the RSR.  
This repeats until all data bits have been sampled and  
shifted into the RSR. One final bit time is measured and  
the level sampled. This is the Stop bit, which is always  
a ‘1’. If the data recovery circuit samples a ‘0’ in the  
Stop bit position then a framing error is set for this  
character, otherwise the framing error is cleared for this  
character. See Section 31.1.2.4 “Receive Framing  
Error” for more information on framing errors.  
The Asynchronous mode is typically used in RS-232  
systems. The receiver block diagram is shown in  
Figure 31-2. The data is received on the RX/DT pin and  
drives the data recovery block. The data recovery block  
is actually a high-speed shifter operating at 16 times  
the baud rate, whereas the serial Receive Shift  
Register (RSR) operates at the bit rate. When all eight  
or nine bits of the character have been shifted in, they  
are immediately transferred to  
a two character  
First-In-First-Out (FIFO) memory. The FIFO buffering  
allows reception of two complete characters and the  
start of a third character before software must start  
servicing the EUSART1 receiver. The FIFO and RSR  
registers are not directly accessible by software.  
Access to the received data is via the RC1REG  
register.  
31.1.2.1  
Enabling the Receiver  
The EUSART1 receiver is enabled for asynchronous  
operation by configuring the following three control bits:  
Immediately after all data bits and the Stop bit have  
been received, the character in the RSR is transferred  
to the EUSART1 receive FIFO and the RCIF interrupt  
flag bit of the PIR1 register is set. The top character in  
the FIFO is transferred out of the FIFO by reading the  
RC1REG register.  
• CREN = 1  
• SYNC = 0  
• SPEN = 1  
All other EUSART1 control bits are assumed to be in  
their default state.  
Note:  
If the receive FIFO is overrun, no additional  
characters will be received until the  
Overrun condition is cleared. See  
Section 31.1.2.5 “Receive Overrun  
Error” for more information on overrun  
errors.  
Setting the CREN bit of the RC1STA register enables  
the receiver circuitry of the EUSART1. Clearing the  
SYNC bit of the TX1STA register configures the  
EUSART1 for asynchronous operation. Setting the  
SPEN bit of the RC1STA register enables the  
EUSART1. The programmer must set the  
corresponding TRIS bit to configure the RX/DT I/O pin  
as an input.  
Note:  
If the RX/DT function is on an analog pin,  
the corresponding ANSEL bit must be  
cleared for the receiver to function.

31.1.2.3  
Receive Interrupts  
31.1.2.6  
Receiving 9-bit Characters  
The RCIF interrupt flag bit of the PIR1 register is set  
whenever the EUSART1 receiver is enabled and there  
is an unread character in the receive FIFO. The RCIF  
interrupt flag bit is read-only, it cannot be set or cleared  
by software.  
The EUSART1 supports 9-bit character reception.  
When the RX9 bit of the RC1STA register is set the  
EUSART1 will shift nine bits into the RSR for each  
character received. The RX9D bit of the RC1STA reg-  
ister is the ninth and Most Significant data bit of the top  
unread character in the receive FIFO. When reading  
9-bit data from the receive FIFO buffer, the RX9D data  
bit must be read before reading the eight Least Signifi-  
cant bits from the RC1REG.  
RCIF interrupts are enabled by setting all of the  
following bits:  
• RCIE, Interrupt Enable bit of the PIE1 register  
• PEIE, Peripheral Interrupt Enable bit of the  
INTCON register  
• GIE, Global Interrupt Enable bit of the INTCON  
register  
31.1.2.7  
Address Detection  
A special Address Detection mode is available for use  
when multiple receivers share the same transmission  
line, such as in RS-485 systems. Address detection is  
enabled by setting the ADDEN bit of the RC1STA  
register.  
The RCIF interrupt flag bit will be set when there is an  
unread character in the FIFO, regardless of the state of  
interrupt enable bits.  
Address detection requires 9-bit character reception.  
When address detection is enabled, only characters  
with the ninth data bit set will be transferred to the  
receive FIFO buffer, thereby setting the RCIF interrupt  
bit. All other characters will be ignored.  
31.1.2.4  
Receive Framing Error  
Each character in the receive FIFO buffer has a  
corresponding framing error Status bit. A framing error  
indicates that a Stop bit was not seen at the expected  
time. The framing error status is accessed via the  
FERR bit of the RC1STA register. The FERR bit  
represents the status of the top unread character in the  
receive FIFO. Therefore, the FERR bit must be read  
before reading the RC1REG.  
Upon receiving an address character, user software  
determines if the address matches its own. Upon  
address match, user software must disable address  
detection by clearing the ADDEN bit before the next  
Stop bit occurs. When user software detects the end of  
the message, determined by the message protocol  
used, software places the receiver back into the  
Address Detection mode by setting the ADDEN bit.  
The FERR bit is read-only and only applies to the top  
unread character in the receive FIFO. A framing error  
(FERR = 1) does not preclude reception of additional  
characters. It is not necessary to clear the FERR bit.  
Reading the next character from the FIFO buffer will  
advance the FIFO to the next character and the next  
corresponding framing error.  
The FERR bit can be forced clear by clearing the SPEN  
bit of the RC1STA register which resets the EUSART1.  
Clearing the CREN bit of the RC1STA register does not  
affect the FERR bit. A framing error by itself does not  
generate an interrupt.  
Note:  
If all receive characters in the receive  
FIFO have framing errors, repeated reads  
of the RC1REG will not clear the FERR bit.  
31.1.2.5  
Receive Overrun Error  
The receive FIFO buffer can hold two characters. An  
overrun error will be generated if a third character, in its  
entirety, is received before the FIFO is accessed. When  
this happens the OERR bit of the RC1STA register is  
set. The characters already in the FIFO buffer can be  
read but no additional characters will be received until  
the error is cleared. The error must be cleared by either  
clearing the CREN bit of the RC1STA register or by  
resetting the EUSART1 by clearing the SPEN bit of the  
RC1STA register.

RATE ERROR  
31.2 Clock Accuracy with  
Asynchronous Operation  
For a device with FOSC of 16 MHz, desired baud rate  
of 9600, Asynchronous mode, 8-bit SPR1BRG:  
The factory calibrates the internal oscillator block  
output (INTOSC). However, the INTOSC frequency  
may drift as VDD or temperature changes, and this  
directly affects the asynchronous baud rate. Two  
methods may be used to adjust the baud rate clock, but  
both require a reference clock source of some kind.

The first (preferred) method uses the OSCTUNE  
register to adjust the INTOSC output. Adjusting the  
value in the OSCTUNE register allows for fine resolution  
changes to the system clock source. See  
Section 7.2.2.3 “Internal Oscillator Frequency

The other method adjusts the value in the Baud Rate  
Generator. This can be done automatically with the  
Auto-Baud Detect feature (see Section 31.3.1  
“Auto-Baud Detect”). There may not be fine enough  
resolution when adjusting the Baud Rate Generator to  
compensate for a gradual change in the peripheral  
clock frequency.

31.3 EUSART1 Baud Rate Generator  
(BRG)  
The Baud Rate Generator (BRG) is an 8-bit or 16-bit  
timer that is dedicated to the support of both the  
asynchronous and synchronous EUSART1 operation.  
By default, the BRG operates in 8-bit mode. Setting the  
BRG16 bit of the BAUD1CON register selects 16-bit  
mode.  
The SP1BRGH, SP1BRGL register pair determines the  
period of the free running baud rate timer. In  
Asynchronous mode the multiplier of the baud rate  
period is determined by both the BRGH bit of the  
TX1STA register and the BRG16 bit of the BAUD1CON  
register. In Synchronous mode, the BRGH bit is ignored.  
Table 31-1 contains the formulas for determining the  
baud rate. Example 31-1 provides a sample calculation  
for determining the baud rate and baud rate error.  
Typical baud rates and error values for various  
asynchronous modes have been computed for your  
convenience and are shown in Table 31-3. It may be  
advantageous to use the high baud rate (BRGH = 1),  
or the 16-bit BRG (BRG16 = 1) to reduce the baud rate  
error. The 16-bit BRG mode is used to achieve slow  
baud rates for fast oscillator frequencies.  
Writing a new value to the SP1BRGH, SP1BRGL reg-  
ister pair causes the BRG timer to be reset (or cleared).  
This ensures that the BRG does not wait for a timer  
overflow before outputting the new baud rate.  
If the system clock is changed during an active receive  
operation, a receive error or data loss may result. To  
avoid this problem, check the status of the RCIDL bit to  
make sure that the receive operation is idle before  
changing the system clock.

surement is the average bit time when clocked at full  
speed.  
31.3.1  
AUTO-BAUD DETECT  
The EUSART1 module supports automatic detection  
and calibration of the baud rate.  
In the Auto-Baud Detect (ABD) mode, the clock to the  
BRG is reversed. Rather than the BRG clocking the  
incoming RX signal, the RX signal is timing the BRG.  
The Baud Rate Generator is used to time the period of  
a received 55h (ASCII “U”) which is the Sync character  
for the LIN bus. The unique feature of this character is  
that it has five rising edges including the Stop bit edge.  
Note 1: If the WUE bit is set with the ABDEN bit,  
auto-baud detection will occur on the byte  
following the Break character (see  
Section 31.3.3  
“Auto-Wake-up  
on  
Break”).  
2: It is up to the user to determine that the  
incoming character baud rate is within the  
range of the selected BRG clock source.  
Some combinations of oscillator frequency  
and EUSART1 baud rates are not possible.  
Setting the ABDEN bit of the BAUD1CON register  
starts the auto-baud calibration sequence. While the  
ABD sequence takes place, the EUSART1 state  
machine is held in Idle. On the first rising edge of the  
receive line, after the Start bit, the SPBRG begins  
counting up using the BRG counter clock as shown in  
Figure 31-6. The fifth rising edge will occur on the RX  
pin at the end of the eighth bit period. At that time, an  
accumulated value totaling the proper BRG period is  
left in the SP1BRGH, SP1BRGL register pair, the  
ABDEN bit is automatically cleared and the RCIF  
interrupt flag is set. The value in the RC1REG needs to  
be read to clear the RCIF interrupt. RC1REG content  
should be discarded. When calibrating for modes that  
do not use the SP1BRGH register the user can verify  
that the SP1BRGL register did not overflow by  
checking for 00h in the SP1BRGH register.  
3: During the auto-baud process, the  
auto-baud counter starts counting at one.  
Upon completion of the auto-baud  
sequence, to achieve maximum accuracy,  
subtract 1 from the SP1BRGH:SP1BRGL  
register pair.

The BRG auto-baud clock is determined by the BRG16  
and BRGH bits as shown in Table 31-1. During ABD,  
both the SP1BRGH and SP1BRGL registers are used  
as a 16-bit counter, independent of the BRG16 bit set-

setting.

31.3.2  
AUTO-BAUD OVERFLOW  
31.3.3.1  
Special Considerations  
During the course of automatic-baud detection, the  
ABDOVF bit of the BAUDxCON register will be set if  
the baud rate counter overflows before the fifth rising  
edge is detected on the RX pin. The ABDOVF bit  
indicates that the counter has exceeded the maximum  
count that can fit in the 16 bits of the  
SPxBRGH:SPxBRGL register pair. The Overflow  
condition will set the RCIF flag. The counter continues  
to count until the fifth rising edge is detected on the RX  
pin. The RCIDL bit will remain false (‘0’) until the fifth  
rising edge at which time the RCIDL bit will be set. If the  
RCREG is read after the overflow occurs but before the  
fifth rising edge, then the fifth rising edge will set the  
RCIF again.  
Break Character  
To avoid character errors or character fragments during  
a wake-up event, the wake-up character must be all  
zeros.  
When the wake-up is enabled the function works  
independent of the low time on the data stream. If the  
WUE bit is set and a valid non-zero character is  
received, the low time from the Start bit to the first rising  
edge will be interpreted as the wake-up event. The  
remaining bits in the character will be received as a  
fragmented character and subsequent characters can  
result in framing or overrun errors.  
Therefore, the initial character in the transmission must  
be all ‘0’s. This must be ten or more bit times, 13-bit  
times recommended for LIN bus, or any number of bit  
times for standard RS-232 devices.  
Terminating the auto-baud process early to clear an  
Overflow condition will prevent proper detection of the  
sync character fifth rising edge. If any falling edges of  
the sync character have not yet occurred when the  
ABDEN bit is cleared, then those will be falsely  
detected as Start bits. The following steps are  
recommended to clear the Overflow condition:  
Oscillator Start-up Time  
Oscillator start-up time must be considered, especially  
in applications using oscillators with longer start-up  
intervals (i.e., LP, XT or HS/PLL mode). The Sync  
Break (or wake-up signal) character must be of  
sufficient length, and be followed by a sufficient  
interval, to allow enough time for the selected oscillator  
to start and provide proper initialization of the  
EUSART1.  
1. Read RCREG to clear RCIF  
2. If RCIDL is zero, then wait for RCIF and repeat  
step 1  
3. Clear the ABDOVF bit  
31.3.3  
AUTO-WAKE-UP ON BREAK  
WUE Bit  
During Sleep mode, all clocks to the EUSART1 are  
suspended. Because of this, the Baud Rate Generator  
is inactive and a proper character reception cannot be  
performed. The Auto-Wake-up feature allows the  
controller to wake-up due to activity on the RX/DT line.  
This feature is available only in Asynchronous mode.  
The wake-up event causes a receive interrupt by  
setting the RCIF bit. The WUE bit is cleared in  
hardware by a rising edge on RX/DT. The Interrupt  
condition is then cleared in software by reading the  
RC1REG register and discarding its contents.  
To ensure that no actual data is lost, check the RCIDL  
bit to verify that a receive operation is not in process  
before setting the WUE bit. If a receive operation is not  
occurring, the WUE bit may then be set just prior to  
entering the Sleep mode.  
The Auto-Wake-up feature is enabled by setting the  
WUE bit of the BAUD1CON register. Once set, the  
normal receive sequence on RX/DT is disabled, and the  
EUSART1 remains in an Idle state, monitoring for a  
wake-up event independent of the CPU mode. A  
wake-up event consists of a high-to-low transition on the  
RX/DT line. (This coincides with the start of a Sync Break  
or a wake-up signal character for the LIN protocol.)  
The EUSART1 module generates an RCIF interrupt  
coincident with the wake-up event. The interrupt is  
generated synchronously to the Q clocks in normal CPU  
operating modes (Figure 31-7), and asynchronously if  
the device is in Sleep mode (Figure 31-8). The Interrupt  
condition is cleared by reading the RC1REG register.  
The WUE bit is automatically cleared by the low-to-high  
transition on the RX line at the end of the Break. This  
signals to the user that the Break event is over. At this  
point, the EUSART1 module is in Idle mode waiting to  
receive the next character.

31.3.4  
BREAK CHARACTER SEQUENCE  
31.3.4.1  
Break and Sync Transmit Sequence  
The EUSART1 module has the capability of sending  
the special Break character sequences that are  
required by the LIN bus standard. A Break character  
consists of a Start bit, followed by 12 ‘0’ bits and a Stop  
bit.  
The following sequence will start a message frame  
header made up of a Break, followed by an auto-baud  
Sync byte. This sequence is typical of a LIN bus  
master.  
1. Configure the EUSART1 for the desired mode.  
To send a Break character, set the SENDB and TXEN  
bits of the TX1STA register. The Break character trans-  
mission is then initiated by a write to the TX1REG. The  
value of data written to TX1REG will be ignored and all  
0’s will be transmitted.  
2. Set the TXEN and SENDB bits to enable the  
Break sequence.  
3. Load the TX1REG with a dummy character to  
initiate transmission (the value is ignored).  
4. Write ‘55h’ to TX1REG to load the Sync charac-  
ter into the transmit FIFO buffer.  
The SENDB bit is automatically reset by hardware after  
the corresponding Stop bit is sent. This allows the user  
to preload the transmit FIFO with the next transmit byte  
following the Break character (typically, the Sync  
character in the LIN specification).  
5. After the Break has been sent, the SENDB bit is  
reset by hardware and the Sync character is  
then transmitted.  
When the TX1REG becomes empty, as indicated by  
the TXIF, the next data byte can be written to TX1REG.  
The TRMT bit of the TX1STA register indicates when the  
transmit operation is active or idle, just as it does during  
normal transmission. See Figure 31-9 for the timing of  
the Break character sequence.

31.3.5  
RECEIVING A BREAK CHARACTER  
The Enhanced EUSART1 module can receive a Break  
character in two ways.  
The first method to detect a Break character uses the  
FERR bit of the RC1STA register and the received data  
as indicated by RC1REG. The Baud Rate Generator is  
assumed to have been initialized to the expected baud  
rate.  
A Break character has been received when:  
• RCIF bit is set  
• FERR bit is set  
• RC1REG = 00h  
The second method uses the Auto-Wake-up feature  
described in Section 31.3.3 “Auto-Wake-up on  
Break”. By enabling this feature, the EUSART1 will  
sample the next two transitions on RX/DT, cause an  
RCIF interrupt, and receive the next data byte followed  
by another interrupt.  
Note that following a Break character, the user will  
typically want to enable the Auto-Baud Detect feature.  
For both methods, the user can set the ABDEN bit of  
the BAUD1CON register before placing the EUSART1  
in Sleep mode.

31.4.1.2  
Clock Polarity  
31.4 EUSART1 Synchronous Mode  
A clock polarity option is provided for Microwire  
compatibility. Clock polarity is selected with the SCKP  
bit of the BAUD1CON register. Setting the SCKP bit  
sets the clock Idle state as high. When the SCKP bit is  
set, the data changes on the falling edge of each clock.  
Clearing the SCKP bit sets the Idle state as low. When  
the SCKP bit is cleared, the data changes on the rising  
edge of each clock.  
Synchronous serial communications are typically used  
in systems with a single master and one or more  
slaves. The master device contains the necessary  
circuitry for baud rate generation and supplies the clock  
for all devices in the system. Slave devices can take  
advantage of the master clock by eliminating the  
internal clock generation circuitry.  
There are two signal lines in Synchronous mode: a  
bidirectional data line and a clock line. Slaves use the  
external clock supplied by the master to shift the serial  
data into and out of their respective receive and trans-  
mit shift registers. Since the data line is bidirectional,  
synchronous operation is half-duplex only. Half-duplex  
refers to the fact that master and slave devices can  
receive and transmit data but not both simultaneously.  
The EUSART1 can operate as either a master or slave  
device.  
31.4.1.3  
Synchronous Master Transmission  
Data is transferred out of the device on the RX/DT pin.  
The RX/DT and TX/CK pin output drivers are automat-  
ically enabled when the EUSART1 is configured for  
synchronous master transmit operation.  
A transmission is initiated by writing a character to the  
TX1REG register. If the TSR still contains all or part of  
a previous character the new character data is held in  
the TX1REG until the last bit of the previous character  
has been transmitted. If this is the first character, or the  
previous character has been completely flushed from  
the TSR, the data in the TX1REG is immediately trans-  
ferred to the TSR. The transmission of the character  
commences immediately following the transfer of the  
data to the TSR from the TX1REG.  
Start and Stop bits are not used in synchronous  
transmissions.  
31.4.1  
SYNCHRONOUS MASTER MODE  
The following bits are used to configure the EUSART1  
for synchronous master operation:  
• SYNC = 1  
• CSRC = 1  
• SREN = 0(for transmit); SREN = 1(for receive)  
• CREN = 0(for transmit); CREN = 1(for receive)  
• SPEN = 1  
Each data bit changes on the leading edge of the  
master clock and remains valid until the subsequent  
leading clock edge.  
Note:  
The TSR register is not mapped in data  
memory, so it is not available to the user.  
Setting the SYNC bit of the TX1STA register configures  
the device for synchronous operation. Setting the CSRC  
bit of the TX1STA register configures the device as a  
master. Clearing the SREN and CREN bits of the  
RC1STA register ensures that the device is in the  
Transmit mode, otherwise the device will be configured  
to receive. Setting the SPEN bit of the RC1STA register  
enables the EUSART1.  
31.4.1.4  
Synchronous Master Transmission  
Setup  
1. Initialize the SP1BRGH, SP1BRGL register pair  
and the BRGH and BRG16 bits to achieve the  
desired baud  
rate (see  
Section 31.3  
“EUSART1 Baud Rate Generator (BRG)”).  
2. Enable the synchronous master serial port by  
setting bits SYNC, SPEN and CSRC.  
31.4.1.1  
Master Clock  
Synchronous data transfers use a separate clock line,  
which is synchronous with the data. A device config-  
ured as a master transmits the clock on the TX/CK line.  
The TX/CK pin output driver is automatically enabled  
when the EUSART1 is configured for synchronous  
transmit or receive operation. Serial data bits change  
on the leading edge to ensure they are valid at the  
trailing edge of each clock. One clock cycle is gener-  
ated for each data bit. Only as many clock cycles are  
generated as there are data bits.  
3. Disable Receive mode by clearing bits SREN  
and CREN.  
4. Enable Transmit mode by setting the TXEN bit.  
5. If 9-bit transmission is desired, set the TX9 bit.  
6. If interrupts are desired, set the TXIE bit of the  
PIE1 register and the GIE and PEIE bits of the  
INTCON register.  
7. If 9-bit transmission is selected, the ninth bit  
should be loaded in the TX9D bit.  
8. Start transmission by loading data to the  
TX1REG register.

To initiate reception, set either SREN or CREN. Data is

TX/CK clock pin and is shifted into the Receive Shift  
Register (RSR). When a complete character is  
received into the RSR, the RCIF bit is set and the char-  
acter is automatically transferred to the two character  
receive FIFO. The Least Significant eight bits of the top  
character in the receive FIFO are available in RC1REG.  
The RCIF bit remains set as long as there are unread  
characters in the receive FIFO.  
31.4.1.5  
Synchronous Master Reception  
Data is received at the RX/DT pin. The RX/DT pin  
output driver is automatically disabled when the  
EUSART1 is configured for synchronous master  
receive operation.  
In Synchronous mode, reception is enabled by setting  
either the Single Receive Enable bit (SREN of the  
RC1STA register) or the Continuous Receive Enable  
bit (CREN of the RC1STA register).  
When SREN is set and CREN is clear, only as many  
clock cycles are generated as there are data bits in a  
single character. The SREN bit is automatically cleared  
at the completion of one character. When CREN is set,  
clocks are continuously generated until CREN is  
cleared. If CREN is cleared in the middle of a character  
the CK clock stops immediately and the partial charac-  
ter is discarded. If SREN and CREN are both set, then  
SREN is cleared at the completion of the first character  
and CREN takes precedence.  
Note:  
If the RX/DT function is on an analog pin,  
the corresponding ANSEL bit must be  
cleared for the receiver to function.

character received. The RX9D bit of the RC1STA  
register is the ninth, and Most Significant, data bit of the  
top unread character in the receive FIFO. When read-  
ing 9-bit data from the receive FIFO buffer, the RX9D  
data bit must be read before reading the eight Least  
Significant bits from the RC1REG.  
31.4.1.6  
Slave Clock  
Synchronous data transfers use a separate clock line,  
which is synchronous with the data. A device configured  
as a slave receives the clock on the TX/CK line. The  
TX/CK pin output driver is automatically disabled when  
the device is configured for synchronous slave transmit  
or receive operation. Serial data bits change on the  
leading edge to ensure they are valid at the trailing edge  
of each clock. One data bit is transferred for each clock  
cycle. Only as many clock cycles should be received as  
there are data bits.  
31.4.1.9  
Synchronous Master Reception  
Setup  
1. Initialize the SP1BRGH, SP1BRGL register pair  
for the appropriate baud rate. Set or clear the  
BRGH and BRG16 bits, as required, to achieve  
the desired baud rate.  
Note:  
If the device is configured as a slave and  
the TX/CK function is on an analog pin, the  
corresponding ANSEL bit must be cleared.  
2. Clear the ANSEL bit for the RX pin (if applicable).  
3. Enable the synchronous master serial port by  
setting bits SYNC, SPEN and CSRC.  
31.4.1.7  
Receive Overrun Error  
4. Ensure bits CREN and SREN are clear.  
The receive FIFO buffer can hold two characters. An  
overrun error will be generated if a third character, in its  
entirety, is received before RC1REG is read to access  
the FIFO. When this happens the OERR bit of the  
RC1STA register is set. Previous data in the FIFO will  
not be overwritten. The two characters in the FIFO  
buffer can be read, however, no additional characters  
will be received until the error is cleared. The OERR bit  
can only be cleared by clearing the Overrun condition.  
If the overrun error occurred when the SREN bit is set  
and CREN is clear then the error is cleared by reading  
RC1REG. If the overrun occurred when the CREN bit is  
set then the Error condition is cleared by either clearing  
the CREN bit of the RC1STA register or by clearing the  
SPEN bit which resets the EUSART1.  
5. If interrupts are desired, set the RCIE bit of the  
PIE1 register and the GIE and PEIE bits of the  
INTCON register.  
6. If 9-bit reception is desired, set bit RX9.  
7. Start reception by setting the SREN bit or for  
continuous reception, set the CREN bit.  
8. Interrupt flag bit RCIF will be set when reception  
of a character is complete. An interrupt will be  
generated if the enable bit RCIE was set.  
9. Read the RC1STA register to get the ninth bit (if  
enabled) and determine if any error occurred  
during reception.  
10. Read the 8-bit received data by reading the  
RC1REG register.  
11. If an overrun error occurs, clear the error by  
either clearing the CREN bit of the RC1STA  
register or by clearing the SPEN bit which resets  
the EUSART1.

SYNCHRONOUS SLAVE MODE  
31.4.2.3  
EUSART1 Synchronous Slave  
Reception  
The following bits are used to configure the EUSART1  
for synchronous slave operation:  
The operation of the Synchronous Master and Slave  
modes is identical (Section 31.4.1.5 “Synchronous  
Master Reception”), with the following exceptions:  
• SYNC = 1  
• CSRC = 0  
• SREN = 0(for transmit); SREN = 1(for receive)  
• CREN = 0(for transmit); CREN = 1(for receive)  
• SPEN = 1  
• Sleep  
• CREN bit is always set, therefore the receiver is  
never idle  
• SREN bit, which is a “don’t care” in Slave mode  
Setting the SYNC bit of the TX1STA register configures  
the device for synchronous operation. Clearing the  
CSRC bit of the TX1STA register configures the device  
as a slave. Clearing the SREN and CREN bits of the  
RC1STA register ensures that the device is in the  
Transmit mode, otherwise the device will be configured to  
receive. Setting the SPEN bit of the RC1STA register  
enables the EUSART1.  
A character may be received while in Sleep mode by  
setting the CREN bit prior to entering Sleep. Once the  
word is received, the RSR register will transfer the data  
to the RC1REG register. If the RCIE enable bit is set,  
the interrupt generated will wake the device from Sleep  
and execute the next instruction. If the GIE bit is also  
set, the program will branch to the interrupt vector.

3. If interrupts are desired, set the RCIE bit of the

If two words are written to the TX1REG and then the  
SLEEPinstruction is executed, the following will occur:  
4. If 9-bit reception is desired, set the RX9 bit.  
5. Set the CREN bit to enable reception.  
1. The first character will immediately transfer to  
the TSR register and transmit.  
2. The second word will remain in the TX1REG  
register.  
6. The RCIF bit will be set when reception is  
complete. An interrupt will be generated if the  
RCIE bit was set.  
3. The TXIF bit will not be set.  
7. If 9-bit mode is enabled, retrieve the Most  
Significant bit from the RX9D bit of the RC1STA  
register.  
4. After the first character has been shifted out of  
TSR, the TX1REG register will transfer the  
second character to the TSR and the TXIF bit will  
now be set.  
8. Retrieve the eight Least Significant bits from the  
receive FIFO by reading the RC1REG register.  
5. If the PEIE and TXIE bits are set, the interrupt  
will wake the device from Sleep and execute the  
next instruction. If the GIE bit is also set, the  
program will call the Interrupt Service Routine.  
9. If an overrun error occurs, clear the error by  
either clearing the CREN bit of the RC1STA  
register or by clearing the SPEN bit which resets  
the EUSART1.

SYNCHRONOUS TRANSMIT  
DURING SLEEP  
31.5 EUSART1 Operation During Sleep  
The EUSART1 will remain active during Sleep only in  
the Synchronous Slave mode. All other modes require  
the system clock and therefore cannot generate the  
necessary signals to run the Transmit or Receive Shift  
registers during Sleep.  
To transmit during Sleep, all the following conditions  
must be met before entering Sleep mode:  
• The RC1STA and TX1STA Control registers must  
be configured for synchronous slave transmission  
(see Section 31.4.2.2 “Synchronous Slave  
Transmission Setup”).  
Synchronous Slave mode uses an externally generated  
clock to run the Transmit and Receive Shift registers.  
• The TXIF interrupt flag must be cleared by writing  
the output data to the TX1REG, thereby filling the  
TSR and transmit buffer.  
• If interrupts are desired, set the TXIE bit of the  
PIE1 register and the PEIE bit of the INTCON  
register.  
31.5.1  
SYNCHRONOUS RECEIVE DURING  
SLEEP  
To receive during Sleep, all the following conditions  
must be met before entering Sleep mode:  
• RC1STA and TX1STA Control registers must be  
configured for Synchronous Slave Reception (see  
Section 31.4.2.4 “Synchronous Slave Recep-  
tion Setup”).  
• If interrupts are desired, set the RCIE bit of the  
PIE1 register and the GIE and PEIE bits of the  
INTCON register.  
• The RCIF interrupt flag must be cleared by read-  
ing RC1REG to unload any pending characters in  
the receive buffer.  
• Interrupt enable bits TXIE of the PIE1 register and  
PEIE of the INTCON register must set.  
Upon entering Sleep mode, the device will be ready to  
accept clocks on TX/CK pin and transmit data on the  
RX/DT pin. When the data word in the TSR has been  
completely clocked out by the external device, the  
pending byte in the TX1REG will transfer to the TSR  
and the TXIF flag will be set. Thereby, waking the pro-  
cessor from Sleep. At this point, the TX1REG is avail-  
able to accept another character for transmission,  
which will clear the TXIF flag.  
Upon entering Sleep mode, the device will be ready to  
accept data and clocks on the RX/DT and TX/CK pins,  
respectively. When the data word has been completely  
clocked in by the external device, the RCIF interrupt  
flag bit of the PIR1 register will be set. Thereby, waking  
the processor from Sleep.  
Upon waking from Sleep, the instruction following the  
SLEEP instruction will be executed. If the Global  
Interrupt Enable (GIE) bit is also set then the Interrupt  
Service Routine at address 0004h will be called.  
Upon waking from Sleep, the instruction following the  
SLEEP instruction will be executed. If the Global  
Interrupt Enable (GIE) bit of the INTCON register is  
also set, then the Interrupt Service Routine at address  
004h will be called.

32.3 Selectable Duty Cycle  
32.0 REFERENCE CLOCK OUTPUT  
MODULE  
The CLKRDC<1:0> bits of the CLKRCON register can  
be used to modify the duty cycle of the output clock. A  
duty cycle of 25%, 50%, or 75% can be selected for all  
clock rates, with the exception of the undivided base  
FOSC value.  
The Reference Clock Output module provides the  
ability to send a clock signal to the clock reference  
output pin (CLKR). The Reference Clock Output can  
also be used as a signal for other peripherals, such as  
the Data Signal Modulator (DSM).  
The duty cycle can be changed while the module is  
enabled; however, in order to prevent glitches on the  
output, the CLKRDC<1:0> bits should only be changed  
when the module is disabled (CLKREN = 0).  
The Reference Clock Output module has the following  
features:  
• System clock is the module source clock  
• Programmable clock divider  
• Selectable duty cycle  
Note:  
The CLKRDC1 bit is reset to ‘1’. This  
makes the default duty cycle 50%.  
32.1 Clock Source  
32.4 Operation in Sleep Mode  
The Reference Clock Output module uses the system  
clock (FOSC) as the clock source. Any device clock  
switching will be reflected in the clock output.  
The Reference Clock Output module clock is based on  
the system clock. When the device goes to Sleep, the  
module outputs will remain in their current state. This  
will have a direct effect on peripherals using the  
Reference Clock Output as an input signal.  
32.1.1  
CLOCK SYNCHRONIZATION  
Once the reference clock enable (CLKREN) is set, the  
module is ensured to be glitch-free at start-up.  
When the Reference Clock Output is disabled, the  
output signal will be disabled immediately.  
Clock dividers and clock duty cycles can be changed  
while the module is enabled, but glitches may occur on  
the output. To avoid possible glitches, clock dividers  
and clock duty cycles should be changed only when the  
CLKREN is clear.  
32.2 Programmable Clock Divider  
The module takes the system clock input and divides it  
based on the value of the CLKRDIV<2:0> bits of the  
CLKRCON register (Register 32-1).  
The following configurations can be made based on the  
CLKRDIV<2:0> bits:  
• Base FOSC value  
• FOSC divided by 2  
• FOSC divided by 4  
• FOSC divided by 8  
• FOSC divided by 16  
• FOSC divided by 32  
• FOSC divided by 64  
• FOSC divided by 128  
The clock divider values can be changed while the  
module is enabled; however, in order to prevent  
glitches on the output, the CLKRDIV<2:0> bits should  
only be changed when the module is disabled  
(CLKREN = 0).

33.3 Common Programming Interfaces  
33.0 IN-CIRCUIT SERIAL  
PROGRAMMING™ (ICSP™)  
Connection to a target device is typically done through  
an ICSP™ header. A commonly found connector on  
development tools is the RJ-11 in the 6P6C (6-pin,  
6-connector) configuration. See Figure 33-1.  
ICSP™ programming allows customers to manufacture  
circuit boards with unprogrammed devices. Programming  
can be done after the assembly process, allowing the  
device to be programmed with the most recent firmware  
or a custom firmware. Five pins are needed for ICSP  
FIGURE 33-1:  
ICD RJ-11 STYLE  
CONNECTOR INTERFACE  
programming:  
• ICSPCLK  
• ICSPDAT  
• MCLR/VPP  
• Vdd  
• Vss  
ICSPDAT  
In Program/Verify mode the program memory, data  
EEPROM, User IDs and the Configuration Words are  
programmed through serial communications. The  
ICSPDAT pin is a bidirectional I/O used for transferring  
the serial data and the ICSPCLK pin is the clock input.

2 = VDD Target  
3 = VSS (ground)  
4 = ICSPDAT  
33.1 High-Voltage Programming Entry  
Mode  
The device is placed into High-Voltage Programming  
Entry mode by holding the ICSPCLK and ICSPDAT  
pins low then raising the voltage on MCLR/VPP to VIHH.  
5 = ICSPCLK  
6 = No Connect  
33.2 Low-Voltage Programming Entry  
Mode  
Another connector often found in use with the PICkit™  
programmers is a standard 6-pin header with 0.1 inch  
spacing. Refer to Figure 33-2.  
The Low-Voltage Programming Entry mode allows the  
PIC® Flash MCUs to be programmed using VDD only,  
without high voltage. When the LVP bit of Configuration  
Words is set to ‘1’, the low-voltage ICSP programming  
entry is enabled. To disable the Low-Voltage ICSP  
mode, the LVP bit must be programmed to ‘0’. The LVP  
bit can only be reprogrammed to ‘0’ by using the  
High-Voltage Programming mode.  
For additional interface recommendations, refer to your  
specific device programmer manual prior to PCB  
design.  
It is recommended that isolation devices be used to  
separate the programming pins from other circuitry.  
The type of isolation is highly dependent on the specific  
application and may include devices such as resistors,  
diodes, or even jumpers. See Figure 33-3 for more  
information.  
Entry into the Low-Voltage Programming Entry mode  
requires the following steps:  
1. MCLR is brought to VIL.  
2.  
A
32-bit key sequence is presented on  
ICSPDAT, while clocking ICSPCLK.  
Once the key sequence is complete, MCLR must be  
held at VIL for as long as Program/Verify mode is to be  
maintained.  
If low-voltage programming is enabled (LVP = 1), the  
MCLR Reset function is automatically enabled and  
cannot be disabled. See Section 6.4 “MCLRfor more  
information.

34.1 Read-Modify-Write Operations  
34.0 INSTRUCTION SET SUMMARY  
Any WRITE instruction that specifies a file register as  
part of the instruction performs a Read-Modify-Write  
(R-M-W) operation. The register is read, the data is  
modified, and the result is stored according to either the  
working (W) register, or the originating file register,  
depending on the state of the destination designator ‘d’  
(see Table 34-1 for more information). A read operation  
is performed on a register even if the instruction writes  
to that register.  
Each instruction is a 14-bit word containing the opera-  
tion code (opcode) and all required operands. The  
opcodes are broken into three broad categories.  
• Byte Oriented  
• Bit Oriented  
• Literal and Control  
The literal and control category contains the most  
varied instruction word format.  
Table 34-3 lists the instructions recognized by the  
MPASMassembler.  
TABLE 34-1: OPCODE FIELD  
DESCRIPTIONS  
All instructions are executed within a single instruction  
cycle, with the following exceptions, which may take  
two or three cycles:  
Field  
Description  
f
W
b
Register file address (0x00 to 0x7F)  
Working register (accumulator)  
• Subroutine entry takes two cycles (CALL, CALLW)  
• Returns from interrupts or subroutines take two  
cycles (RETURN, RETLW, RETFIE)  
• Program branching takes two cycles (GOTO, BRA,  
BRW, BTFSS, BTFSC, DECFSZ, INCSFZ)  
• One additional instruction cycle will be used when  
any instruction references an indirect file register  
and the file select register is pointing to program  
memory.  
Bit address within an 8-bit file register  
Literal field, constant data or label  
k
x
Don’t care location (= 0or 1).  
The assembler will generate code with x = 0.  
It is the recommended form of use for  
compatibility with all Microchip software tools.  
d
n
Destination select; d = 0: store result in W,  
d = 1: store result in file register f.  
One instruction cycle consists of 4 oscillator cycles; for  
an oscillator frequency of 4 MHz, this gives a nominal  
instruction execution rate of 1 MHz.  
FSR or INDF number. (0-1)

Data in “Typ.” column is at 3.0V, 25°C unless otherwise stated. These parameters are for design guidance  
only and are not tested.  
Note 1: The test conditions for all IDD measurements in active operation mode are: OSC1 = external square wave,  
from rail-to-rail; all I/O pins tri-stated, pulled to VDD; MCLR = VDD; WDT disabled.  
2: The supply current is mainly a function of the operating voltage and frequency. Other factors, such as I/O  
pin loading and switching rate, oscillator type, internal code execution pattern and temperature, also have  
an impact on the current consumption.  
3: IDDDOZE = [IDDIDLE*(N-1)/N] + IDDHFO16/N where N = DOZE Ration (see Register 9-2).

These parameters are characterized but not tested.  
Data in “Typ.” column is at 3.0V, 25°C unless otherwise stated. These parameters are for design guidance  
only and are not tested.  
Note 1: The peripheral current is the sum of the base IPD and the additional current consumed when this peripheral is  
enabled. The peripheral current can be determined by subtracting the base IDD or IPD current from this limit.  
Max values should be used when calculating total current consumption.  
2: The power-down current in Sleep mode does not depend on the oscillator type. Power-down current is  
measured with the part in Sleep mode, with all I/O pins in high-impedance state and tied to VSS.  
3: All peripheral currents listed are on a per-peripheral basis if more than one instance of a peripheral is  
available.  
4: ADC clock source is ADCRC.

These parameters are characterized but not tested.  
Data in “Typ.” column is at 3.0V, 25°C unless otherwise stated. These parameters are for design guidance  
only and are not tested.  
Note 1: Instruction cycle period (TCY) equals four times the input oscillator time base period. All specified values  
are based on characterization data for that particular oscillator type under standard operating conditions  
with the device executing code. Exceeding these specified limits may result in an unstable oscillator  
operation and/or higher than expected current consumption. All devices are tested to operate at “min”  
values with an external clock applied to OSC1 pin. When an external clock input is used, the “max” cycle  
time limit is “DC” (no clock) for all devices.  
2: The system clock frequency (FOSC) is selected by the “main clock switch controls” as described in  
Section 7.3 “Clock Switching”.  
3: The system clock frequency (FOSC) must meet the voltage requirements defined in the Section 35.2  
“Standard Operating Conditions”. LP, XT and HS oscillator modes require an appropriate crystal or  
resonator to be connected to the device.  
4: For clocking the device with an external square wave, one of the EC mode selections must be used.

These parameters are characterized but not tested.  
Data in “Typ.” column is at 3.0V, 25°C unless otherwise stated. These parameters are for design guidance  
only and are not tested.  
Note 1: Instruction cycle period (TCY) equals four times the input oscillator time base period. All specified values  
are based on characterization data for that particular oscillator type under standard operating conditions  
with the device executing code. Exceeding these specified limits may result in an unstable oscillator opera-  
tion and/or higher than expected current consumption. All devices are tested to operate at “min” values  
with an external clock applied to the OSC1 pin. When an external clock input is used, the “max” cycle time  
limit is “DC” (no clock) for all devices.  
2: By design.  
3: Period of the slower clock.  
4: To ensure these voltage tolerances, VDD and VSS must be capacitively decoupled as close to the device as  
possible. 0.1 F and 0.01 F values in parallel are recommended.

Note 1: As a transmitter, the device must provide this internal minimum delay time to bridge the undefined region

2: A Fast mode (400 kHz) I2C bus device can be used in a Standard mode (100 kHz) I2C bus system, but the  
requirement TSU:DAT 250 ns must then be met. This will automatically be the case if the device does not  
stretch the low period of the SCL signal. If such a device does stretch the low period of the SCL signal, it  
must output the next data bit to the SDA line TR max. + TSU:DAT = 1000 + 250 = 1250 ns (according to the  
Standard mode I2C bus specification), before the SCL line is released.

37.2 MPLAB XC Compilers  
37.4 MPLINK Object Linker/  
MPLIB Object Librarian  
The MPLAB XC Compilers are complete ANSI C  
compilers for all of Microchip’s 8, 16, and 32-bit MCU  
and DSC devices. These compilers provide powerful  
integration capabilities, superior code optimization and  
ease of use. MPLAB XC Compilers run on Windows,  
Linux or MAC OS X.  
The MPLINK Object Linker combines relocatable  
objects created by the MPASM Assembler. It can link  
relocatable objects from precompiled libraries, using  
directives from a linker script.  
The MPLIB Object Librarian manages the creation and  
modification of library files of precompiled code. When  
a routine from a library is called from a source file, only  
the modules that contain that routine will be linked in  
with the application. This allows large libraries to be  
used efficiently in many different applications.  
For easy source level debugging, the compilers provide  
debug information that is optimized to the MPLAB X  
IDE.  
The free MPLAB XC Compiler editions support all  
devices and commands, with no time or memory  
restrictions, and offer sufficient code optimization for  
most applications.  
The object linker/library features include:  
• Efficient linking of single libraries instead of many  
smaller files  
MPLAB XC Compilers include an assembler, linker and  
utilities. The assembler generates relocatable object  
files that can then be archived or linked with other relo-  
catable object files and archives to create an execut-  
able file. MPLAB XC Compiler uses the assembler to  
produce its object file. Notable features of the assem-  
bler include:  
• Enhanced code maintainability by grouping  
related modules together  
• Flexible creation of libraries with easy module  
listing, replacement, deletion and extraction  
37.5 MPLAB Assembler, Linker and  
Librarian for Various Device  
Families  
• Support for the entire device instruction set  
• Support for fixed-point and floating-point data  
• Command-line interface  
MPLAB Assembler produces relocatable machine  
code from symbolic assembly language for PIC24,  
PIC32 and dsPIC DSC devices. MPLAB XC Compiler  
uses the assembler to produce its object file. The  
assembler generates relocatable object files that can  
then be archived or linked with other relocatable object  
files and archives to create an executable file. Notable  
features of the assembler include:  
• Rich directive set  
• Flexible macro language  
• MPLAB X IDE compatibility  
37.3 MPASM Assembler  
The MPASM Assembler is a full-featured, universal  
macro assembler for PIC10/12/16/18 MCUs.  
• Support for the entire device instruction set  
• Support for fixed-point and floating-point data  
• Command-line interface  
The MPASM Assembler generates relocatable object  
files for the MPLINK Object Linker, Intel® standard HEX  
files, MAP files to detail memory usage and symbol  
reference, absolute LST files that contain source lines  
and generated machine code, and COFF files for  
debugging.  
• Rich directive set  
• Flexible macro language  
• MPLAB X IDE compatibility  
The MPASM Assembler features include:  
• Integration into MPLAB X IDE projects  
• User-defined macros to streamline  
assembly code  
• Conditional assembly for multipurpose  
source files

37.6 MPLAB X SIM Software Simulator  
37.8 MPLAB ICD 3 In-Circuit Debugger  
System  
The MPLAB X SIM Software Simulator allows code  
development in a PC-hosted environment by simulat-  
ing the PIC MCUs and dsPIC DSCs on an instruction  
level. On any given instruction, the data areas can be  
examined or modified and stimuli can be applied from  
a comprehensive stimulus controller. Registers can be  
logged to files for further run-time analysis. The trace  
buffer and logic analyzer display extend the power of  
the simulator to record and track program execution,  
actions on I/O, most peripherals and internal registers.  
The MPLAB ICD 3 In-Circuit Debugger System is  
Microchip’s most cost-effective, high-speed hardware  
debugger/programmer for Microchip Flash DSC and  
MCU devices. It debugs and programs PIC Flash  
microcontrollers and dsPIC DSCs with the powerful,  
yet easy-to-use graphical user interface of the MPLAB  
IDE.  
The MPLAB ICD 3 In-Circuit Debugger probe is  
connected to the design engineer’s PC using a high-  
speed USB 2.0 interface and is connected to the target  
with a connector compatible with the MPLAB ICD 2 or  
MPLAB REAL ICE systems (RJ-11). MPLAB ICD 3  
supports all MPLAB ICD 2 headers.  
The MPLAB X SIM Software Simulator fully supports  
symbolic debugging using the MPLAB XC Compilers,  
and the MPASM and MPLAB Assemblers. The soft-  
ware simulator offers the flexibility to develop and  
debug code outside of the hardware laboratory envi-  
ronment, making it an excellent, economical software  
development tool.  
37.9 PICkit 3 In-Circuit Debugger/  
Programmer  
The MPLAB PICkit 3 allows debugging and program-  
ming of PIC and dsPIC Flash microcontrollers at a most  
affordable price point using the powerful graphical user  
interface of the MPLAB IDE. The MPLAB PICkit 3 is  
connected to the design engineer’s PC using a full-  
speed USB interface and can be connected to the tar-  
get via a Microchip debug (RJ-11) connector (compati-  
ble with MPLAB ICD 3 and MPLAB REAL ICE). The  
connector uses two device I/O pins and the Reset line  
to implement in-circuit debugging and In-Circuit Serial  
Programming™ (ICSP™).  
37.7 MPLAB REAL ICE In-Circuit  
Emulator System  
The MPLAB REAL ICE In-Circuit Emulator System is  
Microchip’s next generation high-speed emulator for  
Microchip Flash DSC and MCU devices. It debugs and  
programs all 8, 16 and 32-bit MCU, and DSC devices  
with the easy-to-use, powerful graphical user interface of  
the MPLAB X IDE.  
The emulator is connected to the design engineer’s  
PC using a high-speed USB 2.0 interface and is  
connected to the target with either a connector  
compatible with in-circuit debugger systems (RJ-11)  
or with the new high-speed, noise tolerant, Low-  
Voltage Differential Signal (LVDS) interconnection  
(CAT5).  
37.10 MPLAB PM3 Device Programmer  
The MPLAB PM3 Device Programmer is a universal,  
CE compliant device programmer with programmable  
voltage verification at VDDMIN and VDDMAX for  
maximum reliability. It features a large LCD display  
(128 x 64) for menus and error messages, and a mod-  
ular, detachable socket assembly to support various  
package types. The ICSP cable assembly is included  
as a standard item. In Stand-Alone mode, the MPLAB  
PM3 Device Programmer can read, verify and program  
PIC devices without a PC connection. It can also set  
code protection in this mode. The MPLAB PM3  
connects to the host PC via an RS-232 or USB cable.  
The MPLAB PM3 has high-speed communications and  
optimized algorithms for quick programming of large  
memory devices, and incorporates an MMC card for file  
storage and data applications.  
The emulator is field upgradeable through future firm-  
ware downloads in MPLAB X IDE. MPLAB REAL ICE

Note the following details of the code protection feature on Microchip devices:  
Microchip products meet the specification contained in their particular Microchip Data Sheet.  
Microchip believes that its family of products is one of the most secure families of its kind on the market today, when used in the  
intended manner and under normal conditions.  
There are dishonest and possibly illegal methods used to breach the code protection feature. All of these methods, to our  
knowledge, require using the Microchip products in a manner outside the operating specifications contained in Microchip’s Data  
Sheets. Most likely, the person doing so is engaged in theft of intellectual property.  
Microchip is willing to work with the customer who is concerned about the integrity of their code.  
Neither Microchip nor any other semiconductor manufacturer can guarantee the security of their code. Code protection does not  
mean that we are guaranteeing the product as “unbreakable.”  
Code protection is constantly evolving. We at Microchip are committed to continuously improving the code protection features of our  
products. Attempts to break Microchip’s code protection feature may be a violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. If such acts  
allow unauthorized access to your software or other copyrighted work, you may have a right to sue for relief under that Act.  
Information contained in this publication regarding device  
applications and the like is provided only for your convenience  
and may be superseded by updates. It is your responsibility to  
ensure that your application meets with your specifications.

OTHERWISE, RELATED TO THE INFORMATION,
