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.

This document contains device specific information for  
the operation of the PIC16F87/88 devices. Additional  
information may be found in the PICmicro® Mid-Range  
MCU Reference Manual (DS33023) which may be  
downloaded from the Microchip web site. This Refer-  
ence Manual should be considered a complementary  
document to this data sheet, and is highly recom-  
mended reading for a better understanding of the

There are 16 I/O pins that are user configurable on a  
pin-to-pin basis. Some pins are multiplexed with other  
device functions. These functions include:  
• External Interrupt  
• Change on PORTB Interrupt  
• Timer0 Clock Input  
The PIC16F87/88 belongs to the Mid-Range family of  
the PICmicro® devices. Block diagrams of the devices  
are shown in Figure 1-1 and Figure 1-2. These devices  
contain features that are new to the PIC16 product line:  
Low-power Timer1 Clock/Oscillator  
• Capture/Compare/PWM  
• 10-bit, 7-channel A/D Converter (PIC16F88 only)  
• SPI™/I2C™  
• Low-power modes: RC_RUN allows the core and  
peripherals to be clocked from the INTRC, while  
SEC_RUN allows the core and peripherals to be  
clocked from the low-power Timer1. Refer to  
Section 4.7 “Power Managed Modes” for  
further details.  
• Two Analog Comparators  
• USART  
• MCLR (RA5) can be configured as an Input  
Table 1-2 details the pinout of the device with  
descriptions and details for each pin.  
• Internal RC oscillator with eight selectable  
frequencies, including 31.25 kHz, 125 kHz,  
250 kHz, 500 kHz, 1 MHz, 2 MHz, 4 MHz, and  
8 MHz. The INTRC can be configured as a  
primary or secondary clock source. Refer to  
Section 4.5 “Internal Oscillator Block” for  
further details.  
• The Timer1 module current consumption has  
been greatly reduced from 20 µA (previous PIC16  
devices) to 1.8 µA typical (32 kHz at 2V), which is  
ideal for real-time clock applications. Refer to  
Section 7.0 “Timer1 Module” for further details.  
• Extended Watchdog Timer (WDT) that can have a  
programmable period from 1 ms to 268s. The  
WDT has its own 16-bit prescaler. Refer to  
Section 15.12 “Watchdog Timer (WDT)” for  
further details.  
• Two-Speed Start-up: When the oscillator is  
configured for LP, XT, or HS, this feature will clock  
the device from the INTRC while the oscillator is  
warming up. This, in turn, will enable almost  
immediate code execution. Refer to  
Section 15.12.3 “Two-Speed Clock Start-up  
Mode” for further details.  
• Fail-Safe Clock Monitor: This feature will allow the  
device to continue operation if the primary or  
secondary clock source fails by switching over to  
the INTRC.  
• The A/D module has a new register for PIC16  
devices named ANSEL. This register allows  
easier configuration of analog or digital I/O pins.

PROGRAM MEMORY MAP  
AND STACK: PIC16F87/88  
2.0  
MEMORY ORGANIZATION  
There are two memory blocks in the PIC16F87/88  
devices. These are the program memory and the data  
memory. Each block has its own bus so access to each  
block can occur during the same oscillator cycle.  
PC<12:0>  
13  
CALL, RETURN  
RETFIE, RETLW  
The data memory can be further broken down into the  
general purpose RAM and the Special Function  
Registers (SFRs). The operation of the SFRs that  
control the “core” are described here. The SFRs used  
to control the peripheral modules are described in the  
section discussing each individual peripheral module.  
Stack Level 1  
Stack Level 2  
Stack Level 8  
RESET Vector  
The data memory area also contains the data EEPROM  
memory. This memory is not directly mapped into the  
data memory but is indirectly mapped. That is, an indi-  
rect address pointer specifies the address of the data  
EEPROM memory to read/write. The PIC16F87/88  
device’s 256 bytes of data EEPROM memory have the  
address range 00h-FFh. More details on the EEPROM  
memory can be found in Section 3.0 “Data EEPROM  
and FLASH Program Memory”.

Program Memory Organization  
Wraps to  
0000h - 03FFh  
The PIC16F87/88 devices have a 13-bit program  
counter capable of addressing an 8K x 14 program  
memory space. For the PIC16F87/88, the first 4K x 14  
(0000h-0FFFh) is physically implemented (see  
Figure 2-1). Accessing a location above the physically  
implemented address will cause a wraparound. For  
example, the same instruction will be accessed at loca-  
tions 020h, 420h, 820h, C20h, 1020h, 1420h, 1820h,  
and 1C20h.  
1FFFh  
2.2  
Data Memory Organization  
The Data Memory is partitioned into multiple banks that  
contain the General Purpose Registers and the Special  
Function Registers. Bits RP1 (STATUS<6>) and RP0  
(STATUS<5>) are the bank select bits.  
The RESET vector is at 0000h and the interrupt vector  
is at 0004h.  
RP1:RP0  
Bank

Each bank extends up to 7Fh (128 bytes). The lower  
locations of each bank are reserved for the Special  
Function Registers. Above the Special Function Regis-  
ters are General Purpose Registers, implemented as  
static RAM. All implemented banks contain SFRs.  
Some “high use” SFRs from one bank may be mirrored  
in another bank for code reduction and quicker access  
(e.g., the STATUS register is in Banks 0-3).  
Note:  
EEPROM data memory description can be  
found in Section 3.0 “Data EEPROM and  
FLASH Program Memory” of this data  
sheet.

For example, CLRF STATUS will clear the upper three  
bits and set the Z bit. This leaves the STATUS register  
as ‘000u u1uu’ (where u= unchanged).  
2.2.2.1  
STATUS Register  
The STATUS register, shown in Register 2-1, contains  
the arithmetic status of the ALU, the RESET status and  
the bank select bits for data memory.  
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 the Z, C or DC bits from the STATUS register. For  
other instructions not affecting any status bits, see  
Section 16.0 “Instruction Set Summary”.  
The STATUS register can be the destination for any  
instruction, as with 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:  
The C and DC bits operate as a borrow  
and digit borrow bit, respectively, in sub-  
traction. See the SUBLW and SUBWF  
instructions for examples.

complement of the second operand.

bit of the source register.

OPTION Register  
Note:  
To achieve a 1:1 prescaler assignment for  
the TMR0 register, assign the prescaler to  
the Watchdog Timer. Although the pres-  
caler can be assigned to either the WDT or  
Timer0, but not both, a new divide counter  
is implemented in the WDT circuit to give  
multiple WDT time-out selection. This  
allows TMR0 and WDT to each have their  
own scaler. Refer to Section 15.12  
“Watchdog Timer (WDT)” for further  
details.  
The OPTION register is a readable and writable regis-  
ter that contains various control bits to configure the  
TMR0 prescaler/WDT postscaler (single assignable  
register known also as the prescaler), the external INT  
interrupt, TMR0, and the weak pull-ups on PORTB.

PCL and PCLATH  
Note 1: There are no status bits to indicate stack  
overflow or stack underflow conditions.  
The program counter (PC) is 13-bits wide. The low byte  
comes from the PCL register which is a readable and  
writable register. The upper bits (PC<12:8>) are not  
readable but are indirectly writable through the  
PCLATH register. On any RESET, the upper bits of the  
PC will be cleared. Figure 2-4 shows the two situations  
for the loading of the PC. The upper example in the fig-  
ure shows how the PC is loaded on a write to PCL  
(PCLATH<4:0> PCH). The lower example in the fig-  
ure shows how the PC is loaded during a CALLor GOTO  
instruction (PCLATH<4:3> PCH).  
2: There are no instructions/mnemonics  
called PUSH or POP. These are actions  
that occur from the execution of the  
CALL, RETURN, RETLW and RETFIE  
instructions, or the vectoring to an  
interrupt address.  
2.4  
Program Memory Paging  
All PIC16F87/88 devices are capable of addressing a  
continuous 8K word block of program memory. The  
CALL and GOTO instructions provide only 11 bits of  
address to allow branching within any 2K program  
memory page. When doing a CALLor GOTOinstruction,  
the upper 2 bits of the address are provided by  
PCLATH<4:3>. When doing a CALL or GOTO instruc-  
tion, the user must ensure that the page select bits are  
programmed so that the desired program memory  
page is addressed. If a return from a CALLinstruction  
(or interrupt) is executed, the entire 13-bit PC is popped  
off the stack. Therefore, manipulation of the  
PCLATH<4:3> bits is not required for the RETURN  
instructions (which POPs the address from the stack).

that PCLATH is saved and restored by the Interrupt  
Service Routine (if interrupts are used).  
2.3.1  
COMPUTED GOTO  
A computed GOTOis accomplished by adding an offset  
to the program counter (ADDWF PCL). When doing a  
table read using a computed GOTO method, care  
should be exercised if the table location crosses a PCL  
memory boundary (each 256-byte block). Refer to the  
application note, “AN556, Implementing a Table Read”.

;(800h-FFFh)  
The PIC16F87/88 family has an 8-level deep x 13-bit  
wide hardware stack. The stack space is not part of  
either program or data space and the stack pointer is not  
readable or writable. The PC is PUSHed onto the stack  
when a CALL instruction is 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. This means that  
after the stack has been PUSHed eight times, the ninth  
push overwrites the value that was stored from the first  
push. The tenth push overwrites the second push (and  
so on).

Indirect Addressing, INDF and

The INDF register is not a physical register. Addressing  
the INDF register will cause indirect addressing.

Indirect addressing is possible by using the INDF reg-  
ister. Any instruction using the INDF register actually  
accesses the register pointed to by the File Select Reg-  
ister, FSR. Reading the INDF register itself, indirectly  
(FSR = 0) will read 00h. Writing to the INDF register  
indirectly results in a no operation (although status bits  
may be affected). An effective 9-bit address is obtained  
by concatenating the 8-bit FSR register and the IRP bit  
(STATUS<7>) as shown in Figure 2-5.

DATA EEPROM AND FLASH  
PROGRAM MEMORY  
The EEADRH:EEADR register pair can address up to  
a maximum of 256 bytes of data EEPROM, or up to a  
maximum of 8K words of program EEPROM. When  
selecting a data address value, only the LSByte of the  
address is written to the EEADR register. When select-  
ing a program address value, the MSByte of the  
address is written to the EEADRH register and the  
LSByte is written to the EEADR register.  
The data EEPROM and FLASH program memory are  
readable and writable during normal operation (over  
the full VDD range). This memory is not directly mapped  
in the register file space. Instead, it is indirectly  
addressed through the Special Function Registers.  
There are six SFRs used to read and write this  
memory:  
If the device contains less memory than the full address  
reach of the address register pair, the Most Significant  
bits of the registers are not implemented. For example,  
if the device has 128 bytes of data EEPROM, the Most  
Significant bit of EEADR is not implemented on access  
to data EEPROM.  
• EECON1  
• EECON2  
• EEDATA  
• EEDATH  
• EEADR  
• EEADRH  
3.2  
EECON1 and EECON2 Registers  
When interfacing the data memory block, EEDATA  
holds the 8-bit data for read/write and EEADR holds the  
address of the EEPROM location being accessed. The  
PIC16F87/88 devices have 256 bytes of data  
EEPROM with an address range from 00h to 0FFh.  
When writing to unimplemented locations, the charge  
pump will be turned off.  
EECON1 is the control register for memory accesses.  
Control bit EEPGD determines if the access will be a  
program or data memory access. When clear, as it is  
when reset, any subsequent operations will operate on  
the data memory. When set, any subsequent  
operations will operate on the program memory.  
When interfacing the program memory block, the  
EEDATA and EEDATH registers form a two-byte word  
that holds the 14-bit data for read/write, and the  
EEADR and EEADRH registers form a two-byte word  
that holds the 13-bit address of the EEPROM location  
being accessed. The PIC16F87/88 devices have 4K  
words of program FLASH with an address range from  
0000h to 0FFFh. Addresses above the range of the  
respective device will wraparound to the beginning of  
program memory.  
Control bits RD and WR initiate read and write,  
respectively. These bits cannot be cleared, only set in  
software. They are cleared in hardware at completion  
of the read or write operation. The inability to clear the  
WR bit in software prevents the accidental, premature  
termination of a write operation.  
The WREN bit, when set, will allow a write or erase  
operation. On power-up, the WREN bit is clear. The  
WRERR bit is set when a write (or erase) operation is  
interrupted by a MCLR, or a WDT Time-out Reset dur-  
ing normal operation. In these situations, following  
RESET, the user can check the WRERR bit and rewrite  
the location. The data and address will be unchanged  
in the EEDATA and EEADR registers.  
The EEPROM data memory allows single byte read  
and write. The FLASH program memory allows single  
word reads and four-word block writes. Program mem-  
ory writes must first start with a 32-word block erase,  
then write in 4-word blocks. A byte write in data  
EEPROM memory automatically erases the location  
and writes the new data (erase before write).  
Interrupt flag bit, EEIF in the PIR2 register, is set when  
write is complete. It must be cleared in software.  
EECON2 is not a physical register. Reading EECON2  
will read all ‘0’s. The EECON2 register is used  
exclusively in the EEPROM write sequence.  
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 voltage range  
of the device for byte or word operations.  
When the device is code protected, the CPU may  
continue to read and write the data EEPROM memory.  
Depending on the settings of the write protect bits, the  
device may or may not be able to write certain blocks  
of the program memory; however, reads of the program  
memory are allowed. When code protected, the device  
programmer can no longer access data or program  
memory; this does NOT inhibit internal reads or writes.

The steps to write to EEPROM data memory are:  
3.3  
Reading Data EEPROM Memory  
1. If step 10 is not implemented, check the WR bit  
to see if a write is in progress.  
To read a data memory location, the user must write the  
address to the EEADR register, clear the EEPGD con-  
trol bit (EECON1<7>) and then set control bit RD  
(EECON1<0>). The data is available in the very next  
cycle in the EEDATA register; therefore, it can be read  
in the next instruction (see Example 3-1). EEDATA will  
hold this value until another read or until it is written to  
by the user (during a write operation).  
2. Write the address to EEADR. Make sure that the  
address is not larger than the memory size of  
the device.  
3. Write the 8-bit data value to be programmed in  
the EEDATA register.  
4. Clear the EEPGD bit to point to EEPROM data  
memory.  
The steps to reading the EEPROM data memory are:  
5. Set the WREN bit to enable program operations.  
6. Disable interrupts (if enabled).  
1. Write the address to EEADR. Make sure that the  
address is not larger than the memory size of  
the device.  
7. Execute the special five instruction sequence:  
2. Clear the EEPGD bit to point to EEPROM data  
memory.  
Write 55h to EECON2 in two steps (first to W,  
then to EECON2).  
3. Set the RD bit to start the read operation.  
4. Read the data from the EEDATA register.  
Write AAh to EECON2 in two steps (first to W,  
then to EECON2).  
Set the WR bit.

is cleared and the EEIF interrupt flag bit is set  
(EEIF must be cleared by firmware). If step 1 is  
not implemented, then firmware should check  
for EEIF to be set, or WR to clear, to indicate the  
end of the program cycle.

To write an EEPROM data location, the user must first

The write will not initiate if the write sequence is not

Additionally, the WREN bit in EECON1 must be set to

code execution (i.e., lost programs). The user should  
keep the WREN bit clear at all times except when  
updating EEPROM. The WREN bit is not cleared

After a write sequence has been initiated, clearing the

Reading FLASH Program Memory  
3.6  
Erasing FLASH Program Memory  
To read a program memory location, the user must  
write two bytes of the address to the EEADR and  
EEADRH registers, set the EEPGD control bit  
(EECON1<7>), and then set control bit RD  
(EECON1<0>). Once the read control bit is set, the  
program memory FLASH controller will use the second  
instruction cycle to read the data. This causes the  
second instruction immediately following the “BSF  
EECON1,RD” instruction to be ignored. The data is  
available in the very next cycle in the EEDATA and  
EEDATH registers; therefore, it can be read as two  
bytes in the following instructions. EEDATA and  
EEDATH registers will hold this value until another read  
or until it is written to by the user (during a write  
operation).  
The minimum erase block is 32 words. Only through  
the use of an external programmer, or through ICSP  
control, can larger blocks of program memory be bulk  
erased. Word erase in the FLASH array is not  
supported.  
When initiating an erase sequence from the microcon-  
troller itself, a block of 32 words of program memory is  
erased. The Most Significant 11 bits of the  
EEADRH:EEADR point to the block being erased.  
EEADR< 4:0> are ignored.  
The EECON1 register commands the erase operation.  
The EEPGD bit must be set to point to the FLASH pro-  
gram memory. The WREN bit must be set to enable  
write operations. The FREE bit is set to select an erase  
operation.  
For protection, the write initiate sequence for EECON2  
must be used.

After the “BSF EECON1,WR” instruction, the processor  
requires two cycles to setup the erase operation. The  
user must place two NOPinstructions after the WR bit is  
set. The processor will halt internal operations for the  
typical 2 ms, only during the cycle in which the erase  
takes place. This is not SLEEP mode, as the clocks and  
peripherals will continue to run. After the erase cycle,  
the processor will resume operation with the third  
instruction after the EECON1 write instruction.

There are 4 buffer register words and all four locations  
MUST be written to with correct data.  
3.7  
Writing to FLASH Program  
Memory  
After the “BSF EECON1,WR” instruction, if  
EEADR xxxxxx11, then a short write will occur.  
This short write only transfers the data to the buffer reg-  
ister. The WR bit will be cleared in hardware after 1  
cycle. The core will not halt and there will be no  
EEWHLT signal generated.  
FLASH program memory may only be written to if the  
destination address is in a segment of memory that is  
not write protected, as defined in bits WRT1:WRT0 of  
the device configuration word (Register 15-1). FLASH  
program memory must be written in four-word blocks.  
A block consists of four words with sequential  
addresses, with a lower boundary defined by an  
address, where EEADR<1:0> = 00. At the same time,  
all block writes to program memory are done as write  
only operations. The program memory must first be  
erased. The write operation is edge-aligned, and  
cannot occur across boundaries.  
After the “BSF EECON1,WR” instruction, if  
EEADR = xxxxxx11, then a long write will occur. This  
will simultaneously transfer the data from  
EEDATH:EEDATA to the buffer registers and begin the  
write of all four words. The processor will execute the  
next instruction and then ignore the subsequent  
instruction. The user should place NOPinstructions into  
the second words. The processor will then halt internal  
operations for typically 2 msec in which the write takes  
place. This is not SLEEP mode, as the clocks and  
peripherals will continue to run. After the write cycle,  
the processor will resume operation with the 3rd  
instruction after the EECON1 write instruction.  
To write to the program memory, the data must first be  
loaded into the buffer registers. There are four 14-bit  
buffer registers and they are addressed by the low  
2 bits of EEADR.  
Loading data into the buffer registers is accomplished  
via the EEADR, EEADT, EECON1 and EECON2  
registers as follows:  
After each long write, the 4 buffer registers will be reset  
to 3FFF.  
• Set EECON1 PGD and WREN  
• Write address to EEADRH:EEADR  
• Write data to EEDATA:EEDATH  
• Write 55, AA to EECON2  
• Set WR bit in EECON1

An example of the complete four-word write sequence  
is shown in Example 3-5. The initial address is loaded

Protection Against Spurious Write  
3.9  
Operation During Code Protect  
There are conditions when the device should not write  
to the data EEPROM memory. To protect against spu-  
rious EEPROM writes, various mechanisms have been  
built-in. On power-up, WREN is cleared. Also, the  
Power-up Timer (72 ms duration) prevents an  
EEPROM write.  
When the data EEPROM is code protected, the micro-  
controller can read and write to the EEPROM normally.  
However, all external access to the EEPROM is  
disabled. External write access to the program memory  
is also disabled.  
When program memory is code protected, the micro-  
controller can read and write to program memory nor-  
mally, as well as execute instructions. Writes by the  
device may be selectively inhibited to regions of the  
memory depending on the setting of bits WRT1:WRT0  
of the configuration word (see Section 15.1 “Configu-  
ration Bits” for additional information). External  
access to the memory is also disabled.  
The write initiate sequence and the WREN bit together  
help prevent an accidental write during brown-out,  
power glitch, or software malfunction.

In XT, LP or HS modes, a crystal or ceramic resonator  
is connected to the OSC1/CLKI and OSC2/CLKO pins  
to establish oscillation (see Figure 4-1 and Figure 4-2).  
The PIC16F87/88 oscillator design requires the use of  
a parallel cut crystal. Use of a series cut crystal may  
give a frequency out of the crystal manufacturers  
specifications.  
Note 1: Higher capacitance increases the stability  
of oscillator but also increases the  
start-up time.  
2: Since each crystal has its own character-  
istics, the user should consult the crystal  
manufacturer for appropriate values of  
external components.

Note:  
When using resonators with frequencies  
above 3.5 MHz, the use of HS mode,  
rather than XT mode, is recommended.  
HS mode may be used at any VDD for  
which the controller is rated. If HS is  
selected, it is possible that the gain of the  
oscillator will overdrive the resonator.  
Therefore, a series resistor should be  
placed between the OSC2 pin and the  
resonator. As a good starting point, the  
recommended value of RS is 330Ω.

RC Oscillator  
4.5  
Internal Oscillator Block  
For timing insensitive applications, the “RC” and  
“RCIO” device options offer additional cost savings.  
The RC oscillator frequency is a function of the supply  
voltage, the resistor (REXT) and capacitor (CEXT) val-  
ues, and the operating temperature. In addition to this,  
the oscillator frequency will vary from unit to unit due to  
normal manufacturing variation. Furthermore, the dif-  
ference in lead frame capacitance between package  
types will also affect the oscillation frequency,  
especially for low CEXT values. The user also needs to  
take into account variation due to tolerance of external  
R and C components used. Figure 4-4 shows how the  
R/C combination is connected.  
The PIC16F87/88 devices include an internal oscillator  
block, which generates two different clock signals;  
either can be used as the system’s clock source. This  
can eliminate the need for external oscillator circuits on  
the OSC1 and/or OSC2 pins.  
The main output (INTOSC) is an 8 MHz clock source,  
which can be used to directly drive the system clock. It  
also drives the INTOSC postscaler which can provide a  
range of six clock frequencies from 125 kHz to 4 MHz.  
The other clock source is the internal RC oscillator  
(INTRC) which provides a 31.25 kHz (32 µs nominal  
period) output. The INTRC oscillator is enabled by  
selecting the INTRC as the system clock source, or  
when any of the following are enabled:  
In the RC Oscillator mode, the oscillator frequency  
divided by 4 is available on the OSC2 pin. This signal may  
be used for test purposes or to synchronize other logic.

OSCTUNE REGISTER  
Using the internal oscillator as the clock source can  
eliminate the need for up to two external oscillator pins,  
after which it can be used for digital I/O. Two distinct  
configurations are available:  
The internal oscillator’s output has been calibrated at the  
factory but can be adjusted in the application. This is  
done by writing to the OSCTUNE register (Register 4-1).  
The tuning sensitivity is constant throughout the tuning  
range. The OSCTUNE register has a tuning range of  
±12.5%.  
• In INTIO1 mode, the OSC2 pin outputs FOSC/4,  
while OSC1 functions as RA7 for digital input and  
output.  
When the OSCTUNE register is modified, the INTOSC  
and INTRC frequencies will begin shifting to the new fre-  
quency. The INTRC clock will reach the new frequency  
within 8 clock cycles (approximately 8 * 32 µs = 256 µs);  
the INTOSC clock will stabilize within 1 ms. Code execu-  
tion continues during this shift. There is no indication that  
the shift has occurred. Operation of features that depend  
on the 31.25 kHz INTRC clock source frequency, such  
as the WDT, Fail-Safe Clock Monitor and peripherals,  
will also be affected by the change in frequency.  
• In INTIO2 mode, OSC1 functions as RA7 and  
OSC2 functions as RA6, both for digital input and  
output.

FOSC2:FOSC0 configuration bits in Configuration Regis-  
ter 1. When the bits are set in any other manner, the  
system clock source is provided by the Timer1 oscilla-  
tor (SCS1:SCS0 = 01), or from the internal oscillator  
block (SCS1:SCS0 = 10). After a RESET, SCS<1:0>  
are always set to ‘00’.  
4.6  
Clock Sources and Oscillator  
Switching  
The PIC16F87/88 devices include a feature that allows  
the system clock source to be switched from the main  
oscillator to an alternate low frequency clock source.  
PIC16F87/88 devices offer three alternate clock  
sources. When enabled, these give additional options  
for switching to the various Power Managed Operating  
modes.  
Note:  
The instruction to immediately follow the  
modification of SCS<1:0> will have an  
instruction time (TCY) based on the previ-  
ous clock source. This should be taken  
into consideration when developing time  
dependant code.  
Essentially, there are three clock sources for these  
devices:  
• Primary oscillators  
The Internal Oscillator Select bits, IRCF2:IRCF0, select  
the frequency output of the internal oscillator block that  
is used to drive the system clock. The choices are the  
INTRC source (31.25 kHz), the INTOSC source  
(8 MHz), or one of the six frequencies derived from the  
INTOSC postscaler (125 kHz to 4 MHz). Changing the  
configuration of these bits has an immediate change on  
the internal oscillator’s output.  
• Secondary oscillators  
• Internal oscillator block (INTRC)  
The primary oscillators include the external Crystal  
and Resonator modes, the external RC modes, the  
external Clock mode and the internal oscillator block.  
The particular mode is defined on POR by the contents  
of Configuration Word 1. The details of these modes  
are covered earlier in this chapter.  
The OSTS and IOFS bits indicate the status of the pri-  
mary oscillator and INTOSC source; these bits are set  
when their respective oscillators are stable. In particu-  
lar, OSTS indicates that the Oscillator Start-up Timer  
has timed out.  
The secondary oscillators are those external sources  
not connected to the OSC1 or OSC2 pins. These  
sources may continue to operate even after the  
controller is placed in a Power Managed mode.  
PIC16F87/88 devices offer the Timer1 oscillator as a  
secondary oscillator. This oscillator continues to run  
when a SLEEPinstruction is executed, and is often the  
time base for functions such as a real-time clock.  
4.6.2  
CLOCK SWITCHING  
Clock switching will occur for the following reasons:  
• The FCMEN (CONFIG2<0>) bit is set, the device  
is running from the primary oscillator, and the  
primary oscillator fails. The clock source will be  
31.25 kHz INTRC.  
Most often, a 32.768 kHz watch crystal is connected  
between the RB6/T1OSO and RB7/T1OSI pins. Like  
the LP mode oscillator circuit, loading capacitors are  
also connected from each pin to ground. The Timer1  
oscillator is discussed in greater detail in Section 7.6  
“Timer1 Oscillator”.  
• The FCMEN bit is set, the device is running from  
the T1OSC and T1OSC fails. The clock source  
will be 31.25 kHz INTRC.  
• Following a wake-up due to a RESET or a POR,  
when the device is configured for Two-Speed  
Start-up mode, switching will occur between the  
INTRC and the system clock defined by the  
FOSC<2:0> bits.  
In addition to being a primary clock source, the internal  
oscillator block is available as a Power Managed  
mode clock source. The 31.25 kHz INTRC source is  
also used as the clock source for several special fea-  
tures, such as the WDT, Fail-Safe Clock Monitor,  
Power-up Timer, and Two-Speed Start-up.  
• A wake-up from SLEEP occurs due to interrupt or  
WDT wake-up and Two-Speed Start-up is  
The clock sources for the PIC16F87/88 devices are  
shown in Figure 4-6. See Section 7.0 “Timer1 Mod-  
ule” for further details of the Timer1 oscillator. See  
Section 15.1 “Configuration Bits” for Configuration  
register details.  
enabled. If the primary clock is XT, HS, or LP, the  
clock will switch between the INTRC and the pri-  
mary system clock after 1024 clocks (OST) and 8  
clocks of the primary oscillator. This is conditional  
upon the SCS bits being set equal to ‘00’.  
• SCS bits are modified from their original value.  
• IRCF bits are modified from their original value.  
4.6.1  
OSCCON REGISTER  
The OSCCON register (Register 4-2) controls several  
aspects of the system clock’s operation, both in full  
power operation and in Power Managed modes.  
Note:  
Because the SCS bits are cleared on any  
RESET, no clock switching will occur on a  
RESET unless the Two-Speed Start-up is  
enabled and the primary clock is XT, HS,  
or LP. The device will wait for the primary  
clock to become stable before execution  
begins (Two-Speed Start-up disabled).  
The System Clock Select bits, SCS1:SCS0, select the  
clock source that is used when the device is operating  
in Power Managed modes. When the bits are  
cleared (SCS<1:0> = 00), the system clock source  
comes from the main oscillator that is selected by the

Once the clock transition is complete (i.e., new oscilla-  
tor selection switch has occurred), the Watchdog  
counter is re-enabled with the Counter Reset. This  
allows the user to synchronize the Watchdog Timer to  
the start of execution at the new clock frequency.

MODIFYING THE IRCF BITS  
4.6.5  
CLOCK TRANSITION SEQUENCE  
The IRCF bits can be modified at any time, regardless  
of which clock source is currently being used as the sys-  
tem clock. The internal oscillator allows users to change  
the frequency during run time. This is achieved by mod-  
ifying the IRCF bits in the OSCCON register. The  
sequence of events that occur after the IRCF bits are  
modified is dependent upon the initial value of the IRCF  
bits before they are modified. If the INTRC (31.25 kHz,  
IRCF<2:0> = 000) is running and the IRCF bits are  
modified to any other value than ‘000’, a 4 ms clock  
switch delay is turned on. Code execution continues at  
a higher than expected frequency while the new fre-  
quency stabilizes. Time sensitive code should wait for  
the IOFS bit in the OSCCON register to become set  
before continuing. This bit can be monitored to ensure  
that the frequency is stable before using the system  
clock in time critical applications.  
Following are three different sequences for switching  
the internal RC oscillator frequency.  
• Clock before switch: 31.25 kHz (IRCF<2:0> = 000)  
1. IRCF bits are modified to an INTOSC/INTOSC  
postscaler frequency.  
2. The clock switching circuitry waits for a falling  
edge of the current clock, at which point CLKO  
is held low.  
3. The clock switching circuitry then waits for eight  
falling edges of requested clock, after which it  
switches CLKO to this new clock source.  
4. The IOFS bit is clear to indicate that the clock is  
unstable and a 4 ms delay is started. Time  
dependent code should wait for IOFS to become  
set.  
5. Switchover is complete.  
If the IRCF bits are modified while the internal oscillator  
is running at any other frequency than INTRC  
(31.25 kHz IRCF<2:0> 000), there is no need for a  
4 ms clock switch delay. The new INTOSC frequency  
will be stable immediately after the eight falling edges.  
The IOFS bit will remain set after clock switching  
occurs.  
• Clock before switch: One of INTOSC/INTOSC  
postscaler (IRCF<2:0> 000)  
1. IRCF  
bits  
are  
modified  
to  
INTRC  
(IRCF<2:0> = 000).  
2. The clock switching circuitry waits for a falling  
edge of the current clock, at which point CLKO  
is held low.  
Note:  
Caution must be taken when modifying the  
IRCF bits using BCFor BSFinstructions. It  
is possible to modify the IRCF bits to a fre-  
quency that may be out of the VDD specifi-  
cation range; for example, VDD = 2.0V and  
IRCF = 111(8 MHz).  
3. The clock switching circuitry then waits for eight  
falling edges of requested clock, after which it  
switches CLKO to this new clock source.  
4. Oscillator switchover is complete.

If the system clock does not come from the INTRC  
(31.25 kHz) when the SCS bits are changed, and the  
IRCF bits in the OSCCON register are configured for a  
frequency other than INTRC, the frequency may not be  
stable immediately. The IOFS bit (OSCCON<2>) will  
be set when the INTOSC or postscaler frequency is  
stable, after approximately 4 ms.  
4.7  
Power Managed Modes  
4.7.1  
RC_RUN MODE  
When SCS bits are configured to run from the INTRC,  
a clock transition is generated if the system clock is  
not already using the INTRC. The event will clear the  
OSTS bit, switch the system clock from the primary  
system clock (if SCS<1:0> = 00) determined by the  
value contained in the configuration bits, or from the  
T1OSC (if SCS<1:0> = 01) to the INTRC clock option,  
and shut down the primary system clock to conserve  
power. Clock switching will not occur if the primary  
system clock is already configured as INTRC.  
After a clock switch has been executed, the OSTS bit  
is cleared, indicating a low-power mode, and the  
device does not run from the primary system clock.  
The internal Q clocks are held in the Q1 state until  
eight falling edge clocks are counted on the INTRC  
oscillator. After the eight clock periods have tran-  
spired, the clock input to the Q clocks is released and  
operation resumes (see Figure 4-7).

SEC_RUN MODE  
Note 1: The T1OSCEN bit must be enabled and it  
is the user’s responsibility to ensure  
T1OSC is stable before clock switching to  
the T1OSC input clock can occur.  
The core and peripherals can be configured to be  
clocked by T1OSC using a 32.768 kHz crystal. The  
crystal must be connected to the T1OSO and T1OSI  
pins. This is the same configuration as the low-power  
timer circuit (see Section 7.6 “Timer1 Oscillator”).  
When SCS bits are configured to run from T1OSC, a  
clock transition is generated. It will clear the OSTS bit,  
switch the system clock from either the primary system  
clock, or INTRC, depending on the value of SCS<1:0>  
and FOSC<2:0>, to the external low-power Timer1  
oscillator input (T1OSC), and shut down the primary  
system clock to conserve power.

After a clock switch has been executed, the internal Q  
clocks are held in the Q1 state until eight falling edge  
clocks are counted on the T1OSC. After the eight  
clock periods have transpired, the clock input to the Q  
clocks is released and operation resumes (see  
Figure 4-8). In addition, T1RUN (In T1CON) is set to  
indicate that T1OSC is being used as the system  
clock.  
A clock switching event will occur if the  
final state of the SCS bits is different from  
the original.

4.7.3  
SEC_RUN/RC_RUN TO PRIMARY  
CLOCK SOURCE  
4.7.3.1  
Returning to Primary Clock Source  
Sequence  
When switching from a SEC_RUN or RC_RUN mode  
back to the primary system clock, following a change  
of SCS<1:0> to ‘00’, the sequence of events that take  
place will depend upon the value of the FOSC bits in  
the Configuration register. If the primary clock source  
is configured as a crystal (HS, XT, or LP), then the  
transition will take place after 1024 clock cycles. This  
is necessary because the crystal oscillator had been  
powered down until the time of the transition. In order  
to provide the system with a reliable clock when the  
changeover has occurred, the clock will not be  
released to the changeover circuit until the 1024 count  
has expired.  
Changing back to the primary oscillator from  
SEC_RUN or RC_RUN can be accomplished by either  
changing SCS<1:0> to ‘00’, or clearing the T1OSCEN  
bit in the T1CON register (if T1OSC was the secondary  
clock).  
The sequence of events that follows is the same for  
both modes:  
1. If the primary system clock is configured as EC,  
RC, or INTRC, then the OST time-out is  
skipped. Skip to step 3.  
2. If the primary system clock is configured as an  
external oscillator (HS, XT, LP), then the OST  
will be active, waiting for 1024 clocks of the  
primary system clock.  
During the oscillator start-up time, the system clock  
comes from the current system clock. Instruction exe-  
cution and/or peripheral operation continues using the  
currently selected oscillator as the CPU clock source,  
until the necessary clock count has expired to ensure  
that the primary system clock is stable.  
3. On the following Q1, the device holds the  
system clock in Q1.  
4. The device stays in Q1 while eight falling edges  
of the primary system clock are counted.  
5. Once the eight counts transpire, the device  
begins to run from the primary oscillator.  
To know when the OST has expired, the OSTS bit  
should be monitored. OSTS = 1 indicates that the  
Oscillator Start-up Timer has timed out and the system  
clock comes from the primary clock source.  
6. If the secondary clock was INTRC and the pri-  
mary is not INTRC, the INTRC will be shut down  
to save current, providing that the INTRC is not  
being used for any other function, such as WDT,  
or Fail-Safe Clock monitoring.  
Following the oscillator start-up time, the internal Q  
clocks are held in the Q1 state until eight falling edge  
clocks are counted from the primary system clock. The  
clock input to the Q clocks is then released, and oper-  
ation resumes with primary system clock determined  
by the FOSC bits (see Figure 4-10).  
7. If the secondary clock was T1OSC, the T1OSC  
will continue to run if T1OSCEN is still set,  
otherwise the T1 oscillator will be shut down.  
When in SEC_RUN mode, the act of clearing the  
T1OSCEN bit in the T1CON register will cause  
SCS<0> to be cleared, which causes the SCS<1:0>  
bits to revert to ‘00’ or ‘10’, depending on what SCS<1>  
is. Although the T1OSCEN bit was cleared, T1OSC will  
be enabled and instruction execution will continue until  
the OST time-out for the main system clock is com-  
plete. At that time, the system clock will switch from the  
T1OSC to the primary clock or the INTRC. Following  
this, the T1 oscillator will be shut down.  
Note:  
If the primary system clock is either RC or  
EC, an internal delay timer (5-10 µs) will  
suspend operation after exiting Secondary  
Clock mode to allow the CPU to become  
ready for code execution.

there is no oscillator start-up time required because  
the primary clock is already stable; however, there is a  
delay between the wake-up event and the following  
Q2. An internal delay timer of 5-10 µs will suspend  
operation after the RESET to allow the CPU to  
become ready for code execution. The CPU and  
peripheral clock will be held in the first Q1.  
4.7.3.2  
Returning to Primary Oscillator with  
a RESET  
A RESET will clear SCS<1:0> back to ‘00’. The  
sequence for starting the primary oscillator following a  
RESET is the same for all forms of RESET, including  
POR. There is no transition sequence from the  
alternate system clock to the primary system clock on  
a RESET condition. Instead, the device will reset the  
state of the OSCCON register and default to the  
primary system clock. The sequence of events that  
take place after this will depend upon the value of the  
FOSC bits in the Configuration register. If the external  
oscillator is configured as a crystal (HS, XT, or LP), the  
CPU will be held in the Q1 state until 1024 clock cycles  
have transpired on the primary clock. This is  
necessary because the crystal oscillator had been  
powered down until the time of the transition.  
The sequence of events is as follows:  
1. A device RESET is asserted from one of many  
sources (WDT, BOR, MCLR, etc.).  
2. The device resets and the CPU start-up timer is  
enabled if in SLEEP mode. The device is held in  
RESET until the CPU start-up time-out is  
complete.  
3. If the primary system clock is configured as an  
external oscillator (HS, XT, LP), then the OST  
will be active waiting for 1024 clocks of the pri-  
mary system clock. While waiting for the OST,  
the device will be held in RESET. The OST and  
CPU start-up timers run in parallel.  
During the oscillator start-up time, instruction  
execution and/or peripheral operation is suspended.  
Note:  
If Two-Speed Clock Start-up mode is  
enabled, the INTRC will act as the system  
clock until the OST timer has timed out.  
4. After both the CPU start-up and OST timers  
have timed out, the device will wait for one addi-  
tional clock cycle and instruction execution will  
begin.  
If the primary system clock is either RC, EC, or  
INTRC, the CPU will begin operating on the first Q1  
cycle following the wake-up event. This means that

If SCS<1:0> = 00:  
1. The device is held in SLEEP until the CPU start-up  
time-out is complete.  
As an example, if SCS<1:0> = 01 and  
T1OSC is the system clock, and the  
following instructions are executed:  
2. If the primary system clock is configured as an  
external oscillator (HS, XT, LP), then the OST will  
be active waiting for 1024 clocks of the primary  
system clock. While waiting for the OST, the  
device will be held in SLEEP unless Two-Speed  
Start-up is enabled. The OST and CPU start-up  
timers run in parallel. Refer to Section 15.12.3  
“Two-Speed Clock Start-up Mode” for details  
on Two-Speed Start-up.  
BCF  
OSCCON,SCS0  
SLEEP  
then a clock change event is executed. If  
the primary oscillator is XT, LP, or HS, the  
core will continue to run off T1OSC and  
execute the SLEEPcommand.  
When SLEEP is exited, the part will  
resume operation with the primary  
oscillator after the OST has expired.  
3. After both the CPU start-up and OST timers  
have timed out, the device will exit SLEEP and  
begin instruction execution with the primary  
clock defined by the FOSC bits.

Pin RA4 is multiplexed with the Timer0 module clock  
input and with analog input to become the RA4/AN4/  
T0CKI/C2OUT pin. The RA4/AN4/T0CKI/C2OUT pin is  
a Schmitt Trigger input and full CMOS output driver.  
5.0  
I/O PORTS  
Some pins for these I/O ports are multiplexed with an  
alternate function for the peripheral features on the  
device. In general, when a peripheral is enabled, that  
pin may not be used as a general purpose I/O pin.  
Pin RA5 is multiplexed with the Master Clear module  
input. The RA5/MCLR/VPP pin is a Schmitt Trigger  
input.  
Additional information on I/O ports may be found in the  
PICmicro® Mid-Range Reference Manual (DS33023).  
Pin RA6 is multiplexed with the oscillator module input  
and external oscillator output. Pin RA7 is multiplexed  
with the oscillator module input and external oscillator  
input. Pin RA6/OSC2/CLKO and pin RA7/OSC1/CLKI  
are Schmitt Trigger inputs and full CMOS output drivers.  
5.1  
PORTA and the TRISA Register  
PORTA is a 8-bit wide, bidirectional port. The corre-  
sponding data direction register is TRISA. Setting a  
TRISA bit (= 1) will make the corresponding PORTA  
pin an input (i.e., put the corresponding output driver in  
a high-impedance mode). Clearing a TRISA bit (= 0)  
will make the corresponding PORTA pin an output (i.e.,  
put the contents of the output latch on the selected pin).  
Pins RA<1:0> are multiplexed with analog inputs. Pins  
RA<3:2> are multiplexed with analog inputs, compara-  
tor outputs, and VREF inputs. Pins RA<3:0> have TTL  
inputs and full CMOS output drivers.

CLRF  
PORTA  
Reading the PORTA register, 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.

PIC16F87/88  
A mismatch condition will continue to set flag bit RBIF.  
Reading PORTB will end the mismatch condition and  
allow flag bit RBIF to be cleared.  
5.2  
PORTB and the TRISB Register  
PORTB is an 8-bit wide, bidirectional port. The corre-  
sponding data direction register is TRISB. 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.,  
put the contents of the output latch on the selected pin).  
The interrupt-on-change feature is recommended for  
wake-up on key depression operation and operations  
where PORTB is only used for the interrupt-on-change  
feature. Polling of PORTB is not recommended while  
using the interrupt-on-change feature.  
RB0/INT is an external interrupt input pin and is  
configured using the INTEDG bit (OPTION<6>).  
Each of the PORTB pins has a weak internal pull-up. A  
single control bit can turn on all the pull-ups. This is per-  
formed by clearing bit RBPU (OPTION<7>). The weak  
pull-up is automatically turned off when the port pin is  
configured as an output. The pull-ups are disabled on a  
Power-on Reset.  
PORTB is multiplexed with several peripheral functions  
(see Table 5-3). PORTB pins have Schmitt Trigger  
input buffers.  
When enabling peripheral functions, care should be  
taken in defining TRIS bits for each PORTB pin. Some  
peripherals override the TRIS bit to make a pin an out-  
put, while other peripherals override the TRIS bit to  
make a pin an input. Since the TRIS bit override is in  
effect while the peripheral is enabled, read-modify-  
write instructions (BSF, BCF, XORWF) with TRISB as  
destination should be avoided. The user should refer to  
the corresponding peripheral section for the correct  
TRIS bit settings.  
Four of PORTB’s pins, RB7:RB4, have an interrupt-on-  
change feature. Only pins configured as inputs can  
cause this interrupt to occur (i.e., any RB7:RB4 pin  
configured as an output is excluded from the interrupt-  
on-change comparison). The input pins (of RB7:RB4)  
are compared with the old value latched on the last  
read of PORTB. The “mismatch” outputs of RB7:RB4  
are OR’d together to generate the RB port change  
interrupt with flag bit RBIF (INTCON<0>).  
This interrupt can wake the device from SLEEP. The  
user, in the Interrupt Service Routine, can clear the  
interrupt in the following manner:  
a) Any read or write of PORTB. This will end the  
mismatch condition.  
b) Clear flag bit RBIF.

TIMER0 MODULE  
The Timer0 module timer/counter has the following  
features:  
Counter mode is selected by setting bit T0CS  
(OPTION<5>). In Counter mode, Timer0 will increment,  
either on every rising or falling edge of pin RA4/T0CKI.  
The incrementing edge is determined by the Timer0  
Source Edge Select bit, T0SE (OPTION<4>). Clearing  
bit T0SE selects the rising edge. Restrictions on the  
external clock input are discussed in detail in Section 6.3  
“Using Timer0 with an External Clock”.  
• 8-bit timer/counter  
• Readable and writable  
• 8-bit software programmable prescaler  
• Internal or external clock select  
• Interrupt on overflow from FFh to 00h  
• Edge select for external clock  
Additional information on the Timer0 module is  
available in the PICmicro® Mid-Range MCU Family  
Reference Manual (DS33023).  
The prescaler is mutually, exclusively shared between  
the Timer0 module and the Watchdog Timer. The  
prescaler is not readable or writable. Section 6.4  
“Prescaler” details the operation of the prescaler.  
Figure 6-1 is a block diagram of the Timer0 module and  
the prescaler shared with the WDT.

Timer0 Interrupt  
6.1  
Timer0 Operation  
The TMR0 interrupt is generated when the TMR0 reg-  
ister overflows from FFh to 00h. This overflow sets bit  
TMR0IF (INTCON<2>). The interrupt can be masked  
by clearing bit TMR0IE (INTCON<5>). Bit TMR0IF  
must be cleared in software by the Timer0 module  
Interrupt Service Routine before re-enabling this inter-  
rupt. The TMR0 interrupt cannot awaken the processor  
from SLEEP, since the timer is shut-off during SLEEP.  
Timer0 operation is controlled through the OPTION  
register (see Register 2-2). Timer mode is selected by  
clearing bit T0CS (OPTION<5>). In Timer mode, the  
Timer0 module will increment every instruction cycle  
(without prescaler). If the TMR0 register is written, the

6.3  
Using Timer0 with an External  
Clock  
Note:  
Although the prescaler can be assigned to  
either the WDT or Timer0, but not both, a  
new divide counter is implemented in the  
WDT circuit to give multiple WDT time-out  
selections. This allows TMR0 and WDT to  
each have their own scaler. Refer to  
Section 15.12 “Watchdog Timer (WDT)”  
for further details.  
When no prescaler is used, the external clock input is  
the same as the prescaler output. The synchronization  
of T0CKI, with the internal phase clocks, is accom-  
plished by sampling the prescaler output on the Q2 and  
Q4 cycles of the internal phase clocks. Therefore, it is  
necessary for T0CKI to be high for at least 2 TOSC (and  
a small RC delay of 20 ns) and low for at least 2 TOSC  
(and a small RC delay of 20 ns). Refer to the electrical  
specification of the desired device.  
The PSA and PS2:PS0 bits (OPTION<3:0>) determine  
the prescaler assignment and prescale ratio.  
When assigned to the Timer0 module, all instructions  
writing to the TMR0 register (e.g., CLRF 1, MOVWF 1,  
BSF 1,x....etc.) will clear the prescaler. When assigned  
to WDT, a CLRWDT instruction will clear the prescaler  
along with the Watchdog Timer. The prescaler is not  
readable or writable.  
6.4  
Prescaler  
There is only one prescaler available, which is mutually  
exclusively shared between the Timer0 module and the  
Watchdog Timer. A prescaler assignment for the  
Timer0 module means that the prescaler cannot be  
used by the Watchdog Timer, and vice versa. This  
prescaler is not readable or writable (see Figure 6-1).  
Note:  
Writing to TMR0, when the prescaler is  
assigned to Timer0, will clear the  
prescaler count but will not change the  
prescaler assignment.

Timer1 Operation  
7.0  
TIMER1 MODULE  
Timer1 can operate in one of three modes:  
The Timer1 module is a 16-bit timer/counter consisting  
of two 8-bit registers (TMR1H and TMR1L), which are  
readable and writable. The TMR1 register pair  
(TMR1H:TMR1L) increments from 0000h to FFFFh  
and rolls over to 0000h. The TMR1 interrupt, if enabled,  
is generated on overflow, which is latched in interrupt  
flag bit, TMR1IF (PIR1<0>). This interrupt can be  
enabled/disabled by setting/clearing TMR1 interrupt  
enable bit, TMR1IE (PIE1<0>).  
• as a Timer  
• as a Synchronous Counter  
• as an Asynchronous Counter  
The operating mode is determined by the clock select  
bit, TMR1CS (T1CON<1>).  
In Timer mode, Timer1 increments every instruction  
cycle. In Counter mode, it increments on every rising  
edge of the external clock input.  
The Timer1 oscillator can be used as a secondary clock  
source in Low-power modes. When the T1RUN bit is  
set along with SCS<1:0> = 01, the Timer1 oscillator is  
providing the system clock. If the Fail-Safe Clock Mon-  
itor is enabled, and the Timer1 oscillator fails while pro-  
viding the system clock, polling the T1RUN bit will  
indicate whether the clock is being provided by the  
Timer1 oscillator or another source.  
Timer1 can be enabled/disabled by setting/clearing  
control bit, TMR1ON (T1CON<0>).  
Timer1 also has an internal “RESET input”. This  
RESET can be generated by the CCP1 module as  
the special event trigger (see Section 9.1 “Capture  
Mode”). Register 7-1 shows the Timer1 Control  
register.  
Timer1 can also be used to provide Real-Time Clock  
(RTC) functionality to applications with only a minimal  
addition of external components and code overhead.  
When the Timer1 oscillator is enabled (T1OSCEN is  
set), the RB6/T1OSO/T1CKI/PGC and RB7/T1OSI/  
PGD pins become inputs. That is, the TRISB<7:6>  
value is ignored and these pins read as ‘0’.  
Additional information on timer modules is available in  
the PICmicro® Mid-Range MCU Family Reference  
Manual (DS33023).

Timer1 Operation in Timer Mode  
7.4  
Timer1 Operation in Synchronized  
Counter Mode  
Timer mode is selected by clearing the TMR1CS  
(T1CON<1>) bit. In this mode, the input clock to the  
timer is FOSC/4. The synchronize control bit, T1SYNC  
(T1CON<2>), has no effect since the internal clock is  
always in sync.  
Counter mode is selected by setting bit TMR1CS. In  
this mode, the timer increments on every rising edge of  
clock input on pin RB7/AN6/PGD/T1OSI, when bit  
T1OSCEN is set, or on pin RB6/AN5/PGC/T1OSO/  
T1CKI, when bit T1OSCEN is cleared.  
7.3  
Timer1 Counter Operation  
If T1SYNC is cleared, then the external clock input is  
synchronized with internal phase clocks. The synchro-  
nization is done after the prescaler stage. The  
prescaler stage is an asynchronous ripple counter.  
Timer1 may operate in Asynchronous or Synchronous  
mode, depending on the setting of the TMR1CS bit.  
When Timer1 is being incremented via an external  
source, increments occur on a rising edge. After Timer1  
is enabled in Counter mode, the module must first have  
a falling edge before the counter begins to increment.  
In this configuration, during SLEEP mode, Timer1 will  
not increment even if the external clock is present,  
since the synchronization circuit is shut-off. The  
prescaler, however, will continue to increment.

READING AND WRITING TIMER1 IN  
ASYNCHRONOUS COUNTER  
MODE  
7.5  
Timer1 Operation in  
Asynchronous Counter Mode  
If control bit T1SYNC (T1CON<2>) is set, the external  
clock input is not synchronized. The timer continues to  
increment asynchronous to the internal phase clocks.  
The timer will continue to run during SLEEP and can  
generate an interrupt on overflow that will wake-up the  
processor. However, special precautions in software  
are needed to read/write the timer (Section 7.5.1  
“Reading and Writing Timer1 in Asynchronous  
Counter Mode”).  
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.  
For writes, it is recommended that the user simply stop  
the timer and write the desired values. A write conten-  
tion may occur by writing to the timer registers while the  
register is incrementing. This may produce an  
unpredictable value in the timer register.  
In Asynchronous Counter mode, Timer1 cannot be  
used as a time base for capture or compare operations.  
Reading the 16-bit value requires some care. The  
example codes provided in Example 7-1 and  
Example 7-2 demonstrate how to write to and read  
Timer1 while it is running in Asynchronous mode.

Timer1 Oscillator Layout  
Considerations  
A crystal oscillator circuit is built between pins T1OSI  
(input) and T1OSO (amplifier output). It is enabled by  
setting control bit T1OSCEN (T1CON<3>). The oscilla-  
tor is a low-power oscillator rated up to 32.768 kHz. It  
will continue to run during all Power Managed modes.  
It is primarily intended for a 32 kHz crystal. The circuit  
for a typical LP oscillator is shown in Figure 7-3.  
Table 7-1 shows the capacitor selection for the Timer1  
oscillator.  
The Timer1 oscillator circuit draws very little power dur-  
ing operation. Due to the low-power nature of the oscil-  
lator, it may also be sensitive to rapidly changing  
signals in close proximity.  
The oscillator circuit, shown in Figure 7-3, should be  
located as close as possible to the microcontroller.  
There should be no circuits passing within the oscillator  
circuit boundaries other than VSS or VDD.  
The user must provide a software time delay to ensure  
proper oscillator start-up.  
If a high-speed circuit must be located near the oscilla-  
tor, a grounded guard ring around the oscillator circuit,  
as shown in Figure 7-4, may be helpful when used on  
a single-sided PCB, or in addition to a ground plane.

Resetting Timer1 Using a CCP  
Trigger Output  
Note 1: Microchip suggests this value as a starting  
point in validating the oscillator circuit.  
If the CCP1 module is configured in Compare mode to  
generate “special event trigger" signal  
(CCP1M3:CCP1M0 = 1011), the signal will reset  
Timer1 and start an A/D conversion (if the A/D module  
is enabled).

of the oscillator, but also increases the

Timer1 must be configured for either Timer or Synchro-  
nized Counter mode to take advantage of this feature.  
If Timer1 is running in Asynchronous Counter mode,  
this RESET operation may not work.  
4: Capacitor values are for design guidance  
only.  
In the event that a write to Timer1 coincides with a  
special event trigger from CCP1, the write will take  
precedence.  
In this mode of operation, the CCPR1H:CCPR1L regis-  
ter pair effectively becomes the period register for  
Timer1.

Resetting Timer1 Register Pair  
(TMR1H, TMR1L)  
7.11 Using Timer1 as a Real-Time  
Clock  
TMR1H and TMR1L registers are not reset to 00h on a  
POR, or any other RESET, except by the CCP1 special  
event triggers.  
Adding an external LP oscillator to Timer1 (such as the  
one described in Section 7.6 “Timer1 Oscillator”,  
above), gives users the option to include RTC function-  
ality to their applications. This is accomplished with an  
inexpensive watch crystal to provide an accurate time  
base, and several lines of application code to calculate  
the time. When operating in SLEEP mode and using a  
battery or super capacitor as a power source, it can  
completely eliminate the need for a separate RTC  
device and battery backup.  
T1CON register is reset to 00h on a Power-on Reset or  
a Brown-out Reset, which shuts off the timer and  
leaves a 1:1 prescale. In all other RESETS, the register  
is unaffected.  
7.10 Timer1 Prescaler  
The prescaler counter is cleared on writes to the  
TMR1H or TMR1L registers.  
The application code routine, RTCisr, shown in  
Example 7-3, demonstrates a simple method to incre-  
ment a counter at one-second intervals using an Inter-  
rupt Service Routine. Incrementing the TMR1 register  
pair to overflow triggers the interrupt and calls the rou-  
tine, which increments the seconds counter by one;  
additional counters for minutes and hours are  
incremented as the previous counter overflow.  
Since the register pair is 16-bits wide, counting up to  
overflow the register directly from a 32.768 kHz clock  
would take 2 seconds. To force the overflow at the  
required one-second intervals, it is necessary to pre-  
load it; the simplest method is to set the MSbit of  
TMR1H with a BSF instruction. Note that the TMR1L  
register is never pre-loaded or altered; doing so may  
introduce cumulative error over many cycles.  
For this method to be accurate, Timer1 must operate in  
Asynchronous mode, and the Timer1 overflow interrupt  
must be enabled (PIE1<0> = 1), as shown in the rou-  
tine, RTCinit. The Timer1 oscillator must also be  
enabled and running at all times.

TIMER2 MODULE  
The prescaler and postscaler counters are cleared  
when any of the following occurs:  
Timer2 is an 8-bit timer with a prescaler and a  
postscaler. It can be used as the PWM time base for the  
PWM mode of the CCP1 module. The TMR2 register is  
readable and writable, and is cleared on any device  
RESET.  
• A write to the TMR2 register  
• A write to the T2CON register  
• Any device RESET (Power-on Reset, MCLR,  
WDT Reset, or Brown-out Reset)  
The input clock (FOSC/4) has a prescale option of 1:1,  
1:4  
or  
1:16,  
selected  
by  
control  
bits  
TMR2 is not cleared when T2CON is written.  
T2CKPS1:T2CKPS0 (T2CON<1:0>).  
The Timer2 module has an 8-bit period register, PR2.  
Timer2 increments from 00h until it matches PR2 and  
then resets to 00h on the next increment cycle. PR2 is  
a readable and writable register. The PR2 register is  
initialized to FFh upon RESET.  
8.2  
Output of TMR2  
The output of TMR2 (before the postscaler) is fed to the  
Synchronous Serial Port module, which optionally uses  
it to generate a shift clock.  
The match output of TMR2 goes through a 4-bit  
postscaler (which gives a 1:1 to 1:16 scaling inclusive)  
to generate a TMR2 interrupt (latched in flag bit  
TMR2IF (PIR1<1>)).

9.1.2  
TIMER1 MODE SELECTION  
9.1  
Capture Mode  
Timer1 must be running in Timer mode or Synchro-  
nized Counter mode for the CCP module to use the  
capture feature. In Asynchronous Counter mode, the  
capture operation may not work.  
In Capture mode, CCPR1H:CCPR1L captures the  
16-bit value of the TMR1 register when an event occurs  
on CCP1 pin. An event is defined as:  
• Every falling edge  
• Every rising edge  
9.1.3  
SOFTWARE INTERRUPT  
• Every 4th rising edge  
• Every 16th rising edge  
When the Capture mode is changed, a false capture  
interrupt may be generated. The user should keep bit  
CCP1IE (PIE1<2>) clear to avoid false interrupts and  
should clear the flag bit, CCP1IF, following any such  
change in operating mode.  
An event is selected by control bits CCP1M3:CCP1M0  
(CCP1CON<3:0>). When a capture is made, the inter-  
rupt request flag bit, CCP1IF (PIR1<2>), is set. It must  
be cleared in software. If another capture occurs before  
the value in register CCPR1 is read, the old captured  
value is overwritten by the new captured value.  
9.1.4  
CCP PRESCALER  
There are four prescaler settings, specified by bits  
CCP1M3:CCP1M0. Whenever the CCP module is  
turned off, or the CCP module is not in Capture mode,  
the prescaler counter is cleared. This means that any  
RESET will clear the prescaler counter.  
9.1.1  
CCP PIN CONFIGURATION  
In Capture mode, the CCP1 pin should be configured  
as an input by setting the TRISB<x> bit.  
Switching from one capture prescaler to another may  
generate an interrupt. Also, the prescaler counter will  
not be cleared, therefore, the first capture may be from  
a non-zero prescaler. Example 9-1 shows the recom-  
mended method for switching between capture pres-  
calers. This example also clears the prescaler counter  
and will not generate the “false” interrupt.  
Note 1: If the CCP1 pin is configured as an  
output, a write to the port can cause a  
capture condition.  
2: The TRISB bit (0 or 3) is dependent upon  
the setting of configuration bit 12  
(CCPMX).

CCP PIN CONFIGURATION  
9.2  
Compare Mode  
The user must configure the CCP1 pin as an output by  
clearing the TRISB<x> bit.  
In Compare mode, the 16-bit CCPR1 register value is  
constantly compared against the TMR1 register pair  
value. When a match occurs, the CCP1 pin is:  
Note 1: Clearing the CCP1CON register will force  
the CCP1 compare output latch to the  
default low level. This is not the data  
latch.  
• Driven high  
• Driven low  
• Remains unchanged  
2: The TRISB bit (0 or 3) is dependent upon  
the setting of configuration bit 12  
(CCPMX).  
The action on the pin is based on the value of control  
bits CCP1M3:CCP1M0 (CCP1CON<3:0>). At the  
same time, interrupt flag bit, CCP1IF, is set.

ter to effectively be a 16-bit programmable period

PWM PERIOD  
9.3  
PWM Mode  
The PWM period is specified by writing to the PR2  
register. The PWM period can be calculated using the  
following formula.  
In Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) mode, the CCP1 pin  
produces up to a 10-bit resolution PWM output. Since  
the CCP1 pin is multiplexed with the PORTB data latch,  
the TRISB<x> bit must be cleared to make the CCP1  
pin an output.  
EQUATION 9-1:  
PWM period = [(PR2) + 1] • 4 • TOSC •  
(TMR2 prescale value)  
Note:  
Clearing the CCP1CON register will force  
the CCP1 PWM output latch to the default  
low level. This is not the PORTB I/O data  
latch.  
PWM frequency is defined as 1/[PWM period].  
Figure 9-3 shows a simplified block diagram of the  
CCP module in PWM mode.  
When TMR2 is equal to PR2, the following three events  
occur on the next increment cycle:  
For a step-by-step procedure on how to setup the CCP  
module for PWM operation, see Section 9.3.3 “Setup  
for PWM Operation”.  
• TMR2 is cleared  
• The CCP1 pin is set (exception: if PWM duty  
cycle = 0%, the CCP1 pin will not be set)  
• The PWM duty cycle is latched from CCPR1L into  
CCPR1H

Note: The Timer2 postscaler (see Section 8.0

the PWM output.

The PWM duty cycle is specified by writing to the  
CCPR1L register and to the CCP1CON<5:4> bits. Up  
to 10-bit resolution is available. The CCPR1L contains  
the eight MSbs and the CCP1CON<5:4> contains the  
two LSbs. This 10-bit value is represented by  
CCPR1L:CCP1CON<5:4>. The following equation is  
used to calculate the PWM duty cycle in time.

EQUATION 9-2:

time base.  
PWM duty cycle = (CCPR1L:CCP1CON<5:4>) •  
TOSC • (TMR2 prescale value)  
A PWM output (Figure 9-4) has a time base (period)  
and a time that the output stays high (duty cycle). The  
frequency of the PWM is the inverse of the period  
(1/period).  
CCPR1L and CCP1CON<5:4> can be written to at any  
time, but the duty cycle value is not latched into  
CCPR1H until after a match between PR2 and TMR2  
occurs (i.e., the period is complete). In PWM mode,  
CCPR1H is a read only register.  
FIGURE 9-4:  
PWM OUTPUT  
The CCPR1H register and a 2-bit internal latch  
are used to double-buffer the PWM duty cycle. This  
double-buffering is essential for glitchless PWM  
operation.

When the CCPR1H and 2-bit latch match TMR2,

Note:  
If the PWM duty cycle value is longer than  
the PWM period, the CCP1 pin will not be  
cleared.  
4. Set the TMR2 prescale value and enable Timer2  
by writing to T2CON.  
5. Configure the CCP1 module for PWM operation.  
Note:  
The TRISB bit (0 or 3) is dependant upon  
the setting of configuration bit 12  
(CCPMX).

10.2 SPI Mode  
10.0 SYNCHRONOUS SERIAL PORT  
(SSP) MODULE  
This section contains register definitions and  
operational characteristics of the SPI module.  
10.1 SSP Module Overview  
SPI mode allows 8 bits of data to be synchronously  
transmitted and received simultaneously. To  
accomplish communication, typically three pins are  
used:  
The Synchronous Serial Port (SSP) module is a serial  
interface useful for communicating with other periph-  
eral or microcontroller devices. These peripheral  
devices may be Serial EEPROMs, shift registers, dis-  
play drivers, A/D converters, etc. The SSP module can  
operate in one of two modes:  
• Serial Data Out (SDO)  
• Serial Data In (SDI)  
• Serial Clock (SCK)  
RB2/SDO/RX/DT  
RB1/SDI/SDA  
RB4/SCK/SCL  
• Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI)  
• Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C)  
Additionally, a fourth pin may be used when in a Slave  
mode of operation:  
An overview of I2C operations and additional informa-  
• Slave Select (SS)  
RB5/SS/TX/CK  
tion on the SSP module can be found in the PICmicro®  
When initializing the SPI, several options need to be  
specified. This is done by programming the appropriate  
control bits in the SSPCON register (SSPCON<5:0>)  
and the SSPSTAT register (SSPSTAT<7:6>). These  
control bits allow the following to be specified:

To enable the serial port, SSP enable bit, SSPEN  
(SSPCON<5>), must be set. To reset or reconfigure  
SPI mode, clear bit SSPEN, re-initialize the SSPCON  
register, and then set bit SSPEN. This configures the  
SDI, SDO, SCK, and SS pins as serial port pins. For the  
pins to behave as the serial port function, they must  
have their data direction bits (in the TRISB register)  
appropriately programmed. That is:

into PORTB controls the state that is read  
back from the TRISB<5> bit. If read-  
modify-write instructions, such as BSF, are  
performed on the TRISB register while the  
SS pin is high, this will cause the  
TRISB<5> bit to be set, thus disabling the  
SDO output.

The SSPCON register allows control of the I2C opera-  
tion. Four mode selection bits (SSPCON<3:0>) allow  
one of the following I2C modes to be selected:  
• I2C Slave mode (7-bit address)  
• I2C Slave mode (10-bit address)  
• I2C Slave mode (7-bit address), with START and  
STOP bit interrupts enabled to support firmware  
Master mode  
• I2C Slave mode (10-bit address), with START and  
STOP bit interrupts enabled to support Firmware

10.3 SSP I C Mode Operation  
The SSP module in I2C mode fully implements all slave  
functions, except general call support, and provides  
interrupts on START and STOP bits in hardware to  
facilitate firmware implementations of the master func-  
tions. The SSP module implements the standard mode  
specifications, as well as 7-bit and 10-bit addressing.  
Two pins are used for data transfer. These are the  
RB4/SCK/SCL pin, which is the clock (SCL), and the  
RB1/SDI/SDA pin, which is the data (SDA). The user  
must configure these pins as inputs or outputs through  
the TRISB<4,1> bits.  
• I2C firmware controlled master operation with  
START and STOP bit interrupts enabled, Slave is  
IDLE  
The SSP module functions are enabled by setting SSP  
Enable bit SSPEN (SSPCON<5>).  
Selection of any I2C mode, with the SSPEN bit set,  
forces the SCL and SDA pins to be open drain, pro-  
vided these pins are programmed to inputs by setting  
the appropriate TRISB bits. Pull-up resistors must be  
provided externally to the SCL and SDA pins for proper  
operation of the I2C module.  
Additional information on SSP I2C operation may be  
found in the PICmicro® Mid-Range MCU Reference  
Manual (DS33023).

SLAVE MODE  
In Slave mode, the SCL and SDA pins must be config-

required (slave-transmitter).

When an address is matched, or the data transfer after

then load the SSPBUF register with the received value  
currently in the SSPSR register.  
SSPADD Reg

START and

Either or both of the following conditions will cause the  
SSP module not to give this ACK pulse:  
a) The buffer full bit, BF (SSPSTAT<0>), was set  
before the transfer was received.  
The SSP module has five registers for I2C operation:  
• SSP Control register (SSPCON)  
b) The overflow bit, SSPOV (SSPCON<6>), was  
set before the transfer was received.  
• SSP Status register (SSPSTAT)  
• Serial Receive/Transmit Buffer register (SSPBUF)  
In this case, the SSPSR register value is not loaded  
into the SSPBUF, but bit SSPIF (PIR1<3>) is set.  
Table 10-2 shows what happens when a data transfer  
byte is received, given the status of bits BF and  
SSPOV. The shaded cells show the condition where  
user software did not properly clear the overflow condi-  
tion. Flag bit, BF, is cleared by reading the SSPBUF  
register while bit SSPOV is cleared through software.  
• SSP Shift register (SSPSR) - Not directly  
accessible  
• SSP Address register (SSPADD)  
The SCL clock input must have a minimum high and  
low for proper operation. The high and low times of the  
I2C specification, as well as the requirement of the SSP  
module, are shown in timing parameter #100 and  
parameter #101.

Addressing  
10.3.1.2  
Reception  
Once the SSP module has been enabled, it waits for a  
START condition to occur. Following the START condi-  
tion, the eight bits are shifted into the SSPSR register.  
All incoming bits are sampled with the rising edge of the  
clock (SCL) line. The value of register SSPSR<7:1> is  
compared to the value of the SSPADD register. The  
address is compared on the falling edge of the eighth  
clock (SCL) pulse. If the addresses match, and the BF  
and SSPOV bits are clear, the following events occur:  
When the R/W bit of the address byte is clear and an  
address match occurs, the R/W bit of the SSPSTAT  
register is cleared. The received address is loaded into  
the SSPBUF register.  
When the address byte overflow condition exists, then  
a no Acknowledge (ACK) pulse is given. An overflow  
condition is indicated if either bit, BF (SSPSTAT<0>), is  
set or bit, SSPOV (SSPCON<6>), is set.  
An SSP interrupt is generated for each data transfer  
byte. Flag bit, SSPIF (PIR1<3>), must be cleared in  
software. The SSPSTAT register is used to determine  
the status of the byte.  
a) The SSPSR register value is loaded into the  
SSPBUF register.  
b) The buffer full bit, BF, is set.  
c) An ACK pulse is generated.  
10.3.1.3  
Transmission  
d) SSP interrupt flag bit, SSPIF (PIR1<3>), is set  
(interrupt is generated if enabled) - on the falling  
edge of the ninth SCL pulse.  
When the R/W bit of the incoming address byte is set  
and an address match occurs, the R/W bit of the  
SSPSTAT register is set. The received address is  
loaded into the SSPBUF register. The ACK pulse will  
be sent on the ninth bit, and pin RB4/SCK/SCL is held  
low. The transmit data must be loaded into the  
SSPBUF register, which also loads the SSPSR regis-  
ter. Then, pin RB4/SCK/SCL should be enabled by set-  
ting bit CKP (SSPCON<4>). The master device must  
monitor the SCL pin prior to asserting another clock  
pulse. The slave devices may be holding off the master  
device by stretching the clock. 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 (Figure 10-7).  
In 10-bit Address mode, two address bytes need to be  
received by the slave device. The five Most Significant  
bits (MSbs) of the first address byte specify if this is a  
10-bit address. Bit R/W (SSPSTAT<2>) must specify a  
write so the slave device will receive the second  
address byte. For a 10-bit address, the first byte would  
equal ‘1111 0 A9 A8 0’, where A9and A8are the  
two MSbs of the address.  
The sequence of events for 10-bit address is as  
follows, with steps 7- 9 for slave transmitter:  
1. Receive first (high) byte of address (bits SSPIF,  
BF, and bit UA (SSPSTAT<1>) are set).  
2. Update the SSPADD register with second (low)  
byte of address (clears bit UA and releases the  
SCL line).  
An SSP interrupt is generated for each data transfer  
byte. Flag bit, SSPIF, must be cleared in software, and  
the SSPSTAT register is used to determine the status  
of the byte. Flag bit, SSPIF, is set on the falling edge of  
the ninth clock pulse.  
3. Read the SSPBUF register (clears bit BF) and  
clear flag bit SSPIF.  
4. Receive second (low) byte of address (bits  
SSPIF, BF, and UA are set).  
As a slave transmitter, the ACK pulse from the master  
receiver is latched on the rising edge of the ninth SCL  
input pulse. If the SDA line was high (not ACK), then  
the data transfer is complete. When the ACK is latched  
by the slave device, the slave logic is reset (resets  
SSPSTAT register) and the slave device then monitors  
for another occurrence of the START bit. If the SDA line  
was low (ACK), the transmit data must be loaded into  
the SSPBUF register, which also loads the SSPSR reg-  
ister. Then, pin RB4/SCK/SCL should be enabled by  
setting bit CKP.  
5. Update the SSPADD register with the first (high)  
byte of Address, if match releases SCL line, this  
will clear bit UA.  
6. Read the SSPBUF register (clears bit BF) and  
clear flag bit SSPIF.  
7. Receive Repeated START condition.  
8. Receive first (high) byte of address (bits SSPIF  
and BF are set).  
9. Read the SSPBUF register (clears bit BF) and  
clear flag bit SSPIF.

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 SSP module is  
disabled. The STOP (P) and START (S) bits will toggle  
based on the START and STOP conditions. Control of  
the I2C bus may be taken when the P bit is set, or the  
bus is IDLE and both the S and P bits are clear.  
In Multi-Master mode operation, the interrupt genera-  
tion on the detection of the START and STOP condi-  
tions allows the determination of when the bus is free.  
The STOP (P) and START (S) bits are cleared from a  
RESET, or when the SSP module is disabled. The  
STOP (P) and START (S) bits will toggle based on the  
START and STOP conditions. Control of the I2C bus  
may be taken when bit P (SSPSTAT<4>) is set, or the  
bus is IDLE and 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.  
In Master mode operation, the SCL and SDA lines are  
manipulated in firmware by clearing the corresponding  
TRISB<4,1> bit(s). The output level is always low, irre-  
spective of the value(s) in PORTB<4,1>. So, when  
transmitting data, a ‘1’ data bit must have the  
TRISB<1> bit set (input) and a ‘0’ data bit must have  
the TRISB<1> bit cleared (output). The same scenario  
is true for the SCL line with the TRISB<4> bit. Pull-up  
resistors must be provided externally to the SCL and  
SDA pins for proper operation of the I2C module.  
In Multi-Master mode operation, the SDA line must be  
monitored to see if the signal level is the expected out-  
put level. This check only needs to be done when a  
high level is output. If a high level is expected and a low  
level is present, the device needs to release the SDA  
and SCL lines (set TRISB<4,1>). There are two stages  
where this arbitration can be lost:  
The following events will cause the SSP Interrupt Flag  
bit, SSPIF, to be set (SSP Interrupt if enabled):  
• Address Transfer  
• Data Transfer  
• START condition  
When the slave logic is enabled, the slave device con-  
tinues to receive. If arbitration was lost during the  
address transfer stage, communication to the device  
may be in progress. If addressed, an ACK pulse will be  
generated. If arbitration was lost during the data trans-  
fer stage, the device will need to re-transfer the data at  
a later time.  
• STOP condition  
• Data transfer byte transmitted/received  
Master mode operation can be done with either the  
Slave mode IDLE (SSPM3:SSPM0 = 1011) or with the  
Slave mode active. When both Master mode operation  
and Slave modes are used, the software needs to  
differentiate the source(s) of the interrupt.  
For more information on Multi-Master mode operation,  
see Application Note AN578, “Use of the SSP Module  
in the of I2C™ Multi-Master Environment”.

The USART can be configured in the following modes:  
11.0 ADDRESSABLE UNIVERSAL  
SYNCHRONOUS  
• Asynchronous (full-duplex)  
• Synchronous - Master (half-duplex)  
• Synchronous - Slave (half-duplex)  
ASYNCHRONOUS RECEIVER  
TRANSMITTER (USART)  
Bit SPEN (RCSTA<7>) and bits TRISB<5,2> have to  
be set in order to configure pins, RB5/SS/TX/CK and  
RB2/SDO/RX/DT, as the Universal Synchronous  
Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter.  
The Universal Synchronous Asynchronous Receiver  
Transmitter (USART) module is one of the two serial  
I/O modules. (USART is also known as a Serial Com-  
munications Interface or SCI.) The USART can be con-  
figured as a full-duplex asynchronous system that can  
communicate with peripheral devices, such as CRT ter-  
minals and personal computers, or it can be configured  
as a half-duplex synchronous system that can commu-  
nicate with peripheral devices, such as A/D or D/A  
integrated circuits, serial EEPROMs, etc.  
The USART module also has a multi-processor  
communication capability, using 9-bit address  
detection.

11.1.1  
USART AND INTRC OPERATION  
11.1 USART Baud Rate Generator  
(BRG)  
The PIC16F87/88 has an 8 MHz INTRC that can be  
used as the system clock, thereby eliminating the need  
for external components to provide the clock source.  
When the INTRC provides the system clock, the  
USART module will also use the INTRC as its system  
clock. Table 11-1 shows some of the INTRC fre-  
quencies that can be used to generate the USART’s  
baud rate.  
The BRG supports both the Asynchronous and Syn-  
chronous modes of the USART. It is a dedicated 8-bit  
baud rate generator. The SPBRG register controls the  
period of a free-running 8-bit timer. In Asynchronous  
mode, bit BRGH (TXSTA<2>) also controls the baud  
rate. In Synchronous mode, bit BRGH is ignored.  
Table 11-1 shows the formula for computation of the  
baud rate for different USART modes, which only apply  
in Master mode (internal clock).  
11.1.2  
LOW-POWER MODE OPERATION  
The system clock is used to generate the desired baud  
rate; however, when a low-power mode is entered, the  
low-power clock source may be operating at a different  
frequency than in full power execution. In SLEEP  
mode, no clocks are present. This may require the  
value in SPBRG to be adjusted.  
Given the desired baud rate and FOSC, the nearest  
integer value for the SPBRG register can be calculated  
using the formula in Table 11-1. From this, the error in  
baud rate can be determined.  
It may be advantageous to use the high baud rate  
(BRGH = 1) even for slower baud clocks. This is  
because the FOSC/(16(X + 1)) equation can reduce the  
baud rate error in some cases.  
11.1.3  
SAMPLING  
The data on the RB2/SDO/RX/DT pin is sampled three  
times by a majority detect circuit to determine if a high  
or a low level is present at the RX pin.  
Writing a new value to the SPBRG register causes the  
BRG timer to be reset (or cleared). This ensures the  
BRG does not wait for a timer overflow before  
outputting the new baud rate.

rupt can be enabled/disabled by setting/clearing  
enable bit, TXIE (PIE1<4>). Flag bit TXIF will be set,  
regardless of the state of enable bit TXIE and cannot be  
cleared in software. It will reset only when new data is  
loaded into the TXREG register. While flag bit TXIF  
indicates the status of the TXREG register, another bit,  
TRMT (TXSTA<1>), shows the status of the TSR reg-  
ister. Status bit TRMT is a read-only bit, which is set  
when the TSR register is empty. No interrupt logic is  
tied to this bit, so the user has to poll this bit in order to  
determine if the TSR register is empty.  
11.2 USART Asynchronous Mode  
In this mode, the USART uses standard non-return-to-  
zero (NRZ) format (one START bit, eight or nine data  
bits, and one STOP bit). The most common data format  
is 8 bits. An on-chip, dedicated, 8-bit baud rate gener-  
ator can be used to derive standard baud rate frequen-  
cies from the oscillator. The USART transmits and  
receives the LSb first. The transmitter and receiver are  
functionally independent, but use the same data format  
and baud rate. The baud rate generator produces a  
clock, either x16 or x64 of the bit shift rate, depending  
on bit BRGH (TXSTA<2>). Parity is not supported by  
the hardware, but can be implemented in software (and  
stored as the ninth data bit). Asynchronous mode is  
stopped during SLEEP.  
Note 1: The TSR register is not mapped in data  
memory, so it is not available to the user.  
2: Flag bit TXIF is set when enable bit TXEN  
is set. TXIF is cleared by loading TXREG.  
Asynchronous mode is selected by clearing bit SYNC  
(TXSTA<4>).  
Transmission is enabled by setting enable bit TXEN  
(TXSTA<5>). The actual transmission will not occur  
until the TXREG register has been loaded with data  
and the baud rate generator (BRG) has produced a  
shift clock (Figure 11-2). The transmission can also be  
started by first loading the TXREG register and then  
setting enable bit TXEN. Normally, when transmission  
is first started, the TSR register is empty. At that point,  
transfer to the TXREG register will result in an immedi-  
ate transfer to TSR, resulting in an empty TXREG. A  
back-to-back transfer is thus possible (Figure 11-3).  
Clearing enable bit TXEN during a transmission will  
cause the transmission to be aborted and will reset the  
transmitter. As a result, the RB5/SS/TX/CK pin will  
revert to high-impedance.  
The USART Asynchronous module consists of the  
following important elements:  
• Baud Rate Generator  
• Sampling Circuit  
• Asynchronous Transmitter  
• Asynchronous Receiver  
11.2.1  
USART ASYNCHRONOUS  
TRANSMITTER  
The USART transmitter block diagram is shown in  
Figure 11-1. The heart of the transmitter is the Transmit  
(Serial) Shift Register (TSR). The shift register obtains  
its data from the Read/Write Transmit Buffer register,  
TXREG. The TXREG register is loaded with data in  
software. The TSR register is not loaded until the STOP  
bit has been transmitted from the previous load. As  
soon as the STOP bit is transmitted, the TSR is loaded  
with new data from the TXREG register (if available).  
Once the TXREG register transfers the data to the TSR  
register (occurs in one TCY), the TXREG register is  
empty and flag bit, TXIF (PIR1<4>), is set. This inter-  
In order to select 9-bit transmission, transmit bit, TX9  
(TXSTA<6>), should be set and the ninth bit should be  
written to TX9D (TXSTA<0>). The ninth bit must be  
written before writing the 8-bit data to the TXREG reg-  
ister. This is because a data write to the TXREG regis-  
ter can result in an immediate transfer of the data to the  
TSR register (if the TSR is empty). In such a case, an  
incorrect ninth data bit may be loaded in the TSR  
register.

When setting up an asynchronous transmission, follow  
these steps:  
4. If 9-bit transmission is desired, then set transmit  
bit TX9.  
5. Enable the transmission by setting bit TXEN,  
which will also set bit TXIF.  
1. Initialize the SPBRG register for the appropriate  
baud rate. If a high-speed baud rate is desired,  
set bit BRGH (Section 11.1 “USART Baud  
Rate Generator (BRG)”).  
6. If 9-bit transmission is selected, the ninth bit  
should be loaded in bit TX9D.  
2. Enable the asynchronous serial port by clearing  
bit SYNC and setting bit SPEN.  
7. Load data to the TXREG register (starts  
transmission).  
3. If interrupts are desired, then set enable bit  
TXIE.  
8. If using interrupts, ensure that GIE and PEIE  
(bits 7 and 6) of the INTCON register are set.

is possible for two bytes of data to be received and  
transferred to the RCREG FIFO and a third byte to  
begin shifting to the RSR register. On the detection of  
the STOP bit of the third byte, if the RCREG register is  
still full, the Overrun Error bit, OERR (RCSTA<1>), will  
be set. The word in the RSR will be lost. The RCREG  
register can be read twice to retrieve the two bytes in  
the FIFO. Overrun bit OERR has to be cleared in soft-  
ware. This is done by resetting the receive logic (CREN  
is cleared and then set). If bit OERR is set, transfers  
from the RSR register to the RCREG register are inhib-  
ited, and no further data will be received. It is, therefore,  
essential to clear error bit OERR if it is set. Framing  
Error bit, FERR (RCSTA<2>), is set if a STOP bit is  
detected as clear. Bit FERR and the 9th receive bit are  
buffered the same way as the receive data. Reading  
the RCREG will load bits RX9D and FERR with new  
values, therefore, it is essential for the user to read the  
RCSTA register before reading the RCREG register, in  
order not to lose the old FERR and RX9D information.  
11.2.2  
USART ASYNCHRONOUS  
RECEIVER  
The receiver block diagram is shown in Figure 11-4.  
The data is received on the RB2/SDO/RX/DT pin and  
drives the data recovery block. The data recovery block  
is actually a high-speed shifter, operating at x16 times  
the baud rate; whereas, the main receive serial shifter  
operates at the bit rate or at FOSC.  
Once Asynchronous mode is selected, reception is  
enabled by setting bit CREN (RCSTA<4>).  
The heart of the receiver is the Receive (Serial) Shift  
register (RSR). After sampling the STOP bit, the  
received data in the RSR is transferred to the RCREG  
register (if it is empty). If the transfer is complete, flag  
bit, RCIF (PIR1<5>), is set. The actual interrupt can be  
enabled/disabled by setting/clearing enable bit RCIE  
(PIE1<5>). Flag bit RCIF is a read only bit, which is  
cleared by the hardware. It is cleared when the RCREG  
register has been read and is empty. The RCREG is a  
double buffered register (i.e., it is a two-deep FIFO). It

Clearing enable bit TXEN during a transmission will  
cause the transmission to be aborted and will reset the  
transmitter. The DT and CK pins will revert to high-  
impedance. If either bit CREN or bit SREN is set during  
a transmission, the transmission is aborted and the DT  
pin reverts to a hi-impedance state (for a reception).  
The CK pin will remain an output if bit CSRC is set  
(internal clock). The transmitter logic, however, is not  
reset, although it is disconnected from the pins. In order  
to reset the transmitter, the user has to clear bit TXEN.  
If bit SREN is set (to interrupt an on-going transmission  
and receive a single word), then after the single word is  
received, bit SREN will be cleared and the serial port  
will revert back to transmitting, since bit TXEN is still  
set. The DT line will immediately switch from High-  
impedance Receive mode to transmit and start driving.  
To avoid this, bit TXEN should be cleared.  
11.3 USART Synchronous  
Master Mode  
In Synchronous Master mode, the data is transmitted in  
a half-duplex manner (i.e., transmission and reception  
do not occur at the same time). When transmitting data,  
the reception is inhibited and vice versa. Synchronous  
mode is entered by setting bit SYNC (TXSTA<4>). In  
addition, enable bit SPEN (RCSTA<7>) is set in order  
to configure the RB5/SS/TX/CK and RB2/SDO/RX/DT  
I/O pins to CK (clock) and DT (data) lines, respectively.  
The Master mode indicates that the processor trans-  
mits the master clock on the CK line. The Master mode  
is entered by setting bit CSRC (TXSTA<7>).  
11.3.1  
USART SYNCHRONOUS MASTER  
TRANSMISSION  
The USART transmitter block diagram is shown in  
Figure 11-6. The heart of the transmitter is the Transmit  
(Serial) Shift Register (TSR). The shift register obtains  
its data from the Read/Write Transmit Buffer register,  
TXREG. The TXREG register is loaded with data in  
software. The TSR register is not loaded until the last  
bit has been transmitted from the previous load. As  
soon as the last bit is transmitted, the TSR is loaded  
with new data from the TXREG (if available). Once the  
TXREG register transfers the data to the TSR register  
(occurs in one TCYCLE), the TXREG is empty and inter-  
rupt bit TXIF (PIR1<4>) is set. The interrupt can be  
enabled/disabled by setting/clearing enable bit TXIE  
(PIE1<4>). Flag bit TXIF will be set, regardless of the  
state of enable bit TXIE and cannot be cleared in soft-  
ware. It will reset only when new data is loaded into the  
TXREG register. While flag bit TXIF indicates the status  
of the TXREG register, another bit, TRMT (TXSTA<1>),  
shows the status of the TSR register. TRMT is a read  
only bit which is set when the TSR is empty. No inter-  
rupt logic is tied to this bit, so the user has to poll this  
bit in order to determine if the TSR register is empty.  
The TSR is not mapped in data memory, so it is not  
available to the user.  
In order to select 9-bit transmission, the TX9  
(TXSTA<6>) bit should be set and the ninth bit should  
be written to bit TX9D (TXSTA<0>). The ninth bit must  
be written before writing the 8-bit data to the TXREG  
register. This is because a data write to the TXREG can  
result in an immediate transfer of the data to the TSR  
register (if the TSR is empty). If the TSR was empty and  
the TXREG was written before writing the “new” TX9D,  
the “present” value of bit TX9D is loaded.  
Steps to follow when setting up a synchronous master  
transmission:  
1. Initialize the SPBRG register for the appropriate  
baud rate (Section 11.1 “USART Baud Rate  
Generator (BRG)”).  
2. Enable the synchronous master serial port by  
setting bits SYNC, SPEN and CSRC.  
3. If interrupts are desired, set enable bit TXIE.  
4. If 9-bit transmission is desired, set bit TX9.  
5. Enable the transmission by setting bit TXEN.  
6. If 9-bit transmission is selected, the ninth bit  
should be loaded in bit TX9D.  
7. Start transmission by loading data to the TXREG  
register.  
Transmission is enabled by setting enable bit TXEN  
(TXSTA<5>). The actual transmission will not occur  
until the TXREG register has been loaded with data.  
The first data bit will be shifted out on the next available  
rising edge of the clock on the CK line. Data out is sta-  
ble around the falling edge of the synchronous clock  
(Figure 11-9). The transmission can also be started by  
first loading the TXREG register and then setting bit  
TXEN (Figure 11-10). This is advantageous when slow  
baud rates are selected, since the BRG is kept in  
RESET when bits TXEN, CREN and SREN are clear.  
Setting enable bit TXEN will start the BRG, creating a  
shift clock immediately. Normally, when transmission is  
first started, the TSR register is empty, so a transfer to  
the TXREG register will result in an immediate transfer  
to TSR, resulting in an empty TXREG. Back-to-back  
transfers are possible.  
8. If using interrupts, ensure that GIE and PEIE  
(bits 7 and 6) of the INTCON register are set.

receive data. Reading the RCREG register will load bit  
RX9D with a new value, therefore, it is essential for the  
user to read the RCSTA register before reading RCREG,  
in order not to lose the old RX9D information.  
11.3.2  
USART SYNCHRONOUS MASTER  
RECEPTION  
Once Synchronous mode is selected, reception is  
enabled by setting either enable bit SREN  
(RCSTA<5>), or enable bit CREN (RCSTA<4>). Data is  
sampled on the RB2/SDO/RX/DT pin on the falling  
edge of the clock. If enable bit SREN is set, then only a  
single word is received. If enable bit CREN is set, the  
reception is continuous until CREN is cleared. If both  
bits are set, CREN takes precedence.  
When setting up a synchronous master reception:  
1. Initialize the SPBRG register for the appropriate  
baud rate (Section 11.1 “USART Baud Rate  
Generator (BRG)”).  
2. Enable the synchronous master serial port by  
setting bits SYNC, SPEN and CSRC.  
After clocking the last bit, the received data in the  
Receive Shift Register (RSR) is transferred to the  
RCREG register (if it is empty). When the transfer is  
complete, interrupt flag bit, RCIF (PIR1<5>), is set. The  
actual interrupt can be enabled/disabled by setting/  
clearing enable bit RCIE (PIE1<5>).  
3. Ensure bits CREN and SREN are clear.  
4. If interrupts are desired, then set enable bit  
RCIE.  
5. If 9-bit reception is desired, then set bit RX9.  
6. If a single reception is required, set bit SREN.  
For continuous reception, set bit CREN.  
Flag bit RCIF is a read-only bit, which is reset by the  
hardware. In this case, it is reset when the RCREG  
register has been read and is empty. The RCREG is a  
double-buffered register (i.e., it is a two-deep FIFO). It is  
possible for two bytes of data to be received and trans-  
ferred to the RCREG FIFO and a third byte to begin shift-  
ing into the RSR register. On the clocking of the last bit  
of the third byte, if the RCREG register is still full, then  
Overrun Error bit, OERR (RCSTA<1>), is set. The word  
in the RSR will be lost. The RCREG register can be read  
twice to retrieve the two bytes in the FIFO. Bit OERR has  
to be cleared in software (by clearing bit CREN). If bit  
OERR is set, transfers from the RSR to the RCREG are  
inhibited, so it is essential to clear bit OERR if it is set.  
The ninth receive bit is buffered the same way as the  
7. Interrupt flag bit, RCIF, will be set when  
reception is complete and an interrupt will be  
generated if enable bit, RCIE, was set.  
8. Read the RCSTA register to get the ninth bit (if  
enabled) and determine if any error occurred  
during reception.  
9. Read the 8-bit received data by reading the  
RCREG register.  
10. If any error occurred, clear the error by clearing  
bit CREN.  
11. If using interrupts, ensure that GIE and PEIE  
(bits 7 and 6) of the INTCON register are set.

11.4 USART Synchronous Slave Mode  
Synchronous Slave mode differs from the Master mode  
in the fact that the shift clock is supplied externally at  
the RB5/SS/TX/CK pin (instead of being supplied inter-  
nally in Master mode). This allows the device to trans-  
fer or receive data while in SLEEP mode. Slave mode  
is entered by clearing bit CSRC (TXSTA<7>).  
When setting up a synchronous slave transmission,  
follow these steps:  
1. Enable the synchronous slave serial port by set-  
ting bits SYNC and SPEN and clearing bit  
CSRC.  
11.4.1

TRANSMIT  
2. Clear bits CREN and SREN.  
The operation of the Synchronous Master and Slave  
modes is identical, except in the case of the SLEEP mode.  
3. If interrupts are desired, then set enable bit  
TXIE.  
4. If 9-bit transmission is desired, then set bit TX9.  
If two words are written to the TXREG and then the  
SLEEPinstruction is executed, the following will occur:  
5. Enable the transmission by setting enable bit  
TXEN.  
a) The first word will immediately transfer to the  
TSR register and transmit.  
6. If 9-bit transmission is selected, the ninth bit  
should be loaded in bit TX9D.  
b) Thesecondword willremainintheTXREGregister.  
c) Flag bit TXIF will not be set.  
7. Start transmission by loading data to the TXREG  
register.  
d) When the first word has been shifted out of TSR,  
the TXREG register will transfer the second word  
to the TSR and flag bit TXIF will now be set.  
8. If using interrupts, ensure that GIE and PEIE  
(bits 7 and 6) of the INTCON register are set.

PIC16F87/88  
The A/D module has five registers:  
12.0 ANALOG-TO-DIGITAL  
CONVERTER (A/D) MODULE  
• A/D Result High Register (ADRESH)  
• A/D Result Low Register (ADRESL)  
• A/D Control Register 0 (ADCON0)  
• A/D Control Register 1 (ADCON1)  
• Analog Select Register (ANSEL)  
The Analog-to-Digital (A/D) converter module has  
seven inputs for 18/20 pin devices (PIC16F88 devices  
only).  
The conversion of an analog input signal results in a  
corresponding 10-bit digital number. The A/D module  
has a high and low voltage reference input that is soft-  
ware selectable to some combination of VDD, VSS,  
VREF- (RA2), or VREF+ (RA3).  
The ADCON0 register, shown in Register 12-2, con-  
trols the operation of the A/D module. The ANSEL reg-  
ister, shown in Register 12-1 and the ADCON1 register,  
shown in Register 12-3, configure the functions of the  
port pins. The port pins can be configured as analog  
inputs (RA3/RA2 can also be voltage references) or as  
digital I/O.  
The A/D converter has a unique feature of being able  
to operate while the device is in SLEEP mode. To oper-  
ate in SLEEP, the A/D conversion clock must be  
derived from the A/D’s internal RC oscillator.  
Additional information on using the A/D module can be  
found in the PICmicro® Mid-Range MCU Family  
Reference Manual (DS33023).

The ADRESH:ADRESL registers contain the result of  
the A/D conversion. When the A/D conversion is com-  
plete, the result is loaded into the A/D result register  
pair, the GO/DONE bit (ADCON0<2>) is cleared, and  
A/D Interrupt Flag bit, ADIF, is set. The block diagram  
of the A/D module is shown in Figure 12-1.  
2. Configure A/D interrupt (if desired):  
• Clear ADIF bit  
• Set ADIE bit  
• SET PEIE bit  
• Set GIE bit  
3. Wait the required acquisition time.  
4. Start conversion:  
After the A/D module has been configured as desired,  
the selected channel must be acquired before the con-  
version is started. The analog input channels must  
have their corresponding TRIS bits selected as inputs.  
• Set GO/DONE bit (ADCON0)  
5. Wait for A/D conversion to complete, by either:  
• Polling for the GO/DONE bit to be cleared  
(with interrupts disabled); OR  
To determine sample time, see Section 12.1. After this  
sample time has elapsed, the A/D conversion can be  
started.  
• Waiting for the A/D interrupt  
6. Read A/D Result register pair  
These steps should be followed for doing an A/D  
conversion:  
(ADRESH:ADRESL), clear bit ADIF if required.  
7. For next conversion, go to step 1 or step 2 as  
required. The A/D conversion time per bit is  
defined as TAD. A minimum wait of 2 TAD is  
required before the next acquisition starts.  
1. Configure the A/D module:  
• Configure analog/digital I/O (ANSEL)  
• Configure voltage reference (ADCON1)  
• Select A/D input channel (ADCON0)  
• Select A/D conversion clock (ADCON0)  
• Turn on A/D module (ADCON0)

may be decreased. After the analog input channel is  
selected (changed), this acquisition must be done  
before the conversion can be started.  
12.1 A/D Acquisition Requirements  
For the A/D converter 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 12-2. 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), see Figure 12-2. The maximum recom-  
mended impedance for analog sources is 2.5 k.  
As the impedance is decreased, the acquisition time  
To calculate the minimum acquisition time,  
Equation 12-1 may be used. This equation assumes  
that 1/2 LSb error is used (1024 steps for the A/D). The  
1/2 LSb error is the maximum error allowed for the A/D  
to meet its specified resolution.

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.  
4: After a conversion has completed, a 2.0 TAD delay must complete before acquisition can begin again.  
During this time, the holding capacitor is not connected to the selected A/D input channel.

12.2 Selecting the A/D Conversion  
Clock  
12.3 Configuring Analog Port Pins  
The ADCON1, ANSEL, TRISA, and TRISB registers  
control the operation of the A/D port pins. The port pins  
that are desired as analog inputs must have their cor-  
responding TRIS bits set (input). If the TRIS bit is  
cleared (output), the digital output level (VOH or VOL)  
will be converted.  
The A/D conversion time per bit is defined as TAD. The  
A/D conversion requires 9.0 TAD per 8-bit conversion.  
The source of the A/D conversion clock is software  
selectable. The seven possible options for TAD are:  
• 2 TOSC  
The A/D operation is independent of the state of the  
CHS<2:0> bits and the TRIS bits.  
• 4 TOSC  
• 8 TOSC  
Note 1: When reading the port register, all pins  
configured as analog input channels will  
read as cleared (a low level). Pins config-  
ured as digital inputs will convert an ana-  
log input. Analog levels on a digitally  
configured input will not affect the  
conversion accuracy.  
• 16 TOSC  
• 32 TOSC  
• 64 TOSC  
• Internal A/D module RC oscillator (2-6 µs)  
For correct A/D conversions, the A/D conversion clock  
(TAD) must be selected to ensure a minimum TAD time  
as small as possible, but no less than 1.6 µs and not  
greater than 6.4 µs.  
2: Analog levels on any pin that is defined as  
a digital input (including the RA4:RA0 and  
RB7:RB6 pins), may cause the input  
buffer to consume current out of the  
device specification.  
Table 12-1 shows the resultant TAD times derived from  
the device operating frequencies and the A/D clock  
source selected.

A/D RESULT REGISTERS  
12.4 A/D Conversions  
The ADRESH:ADRESL register pair is the location  
where the 10-bit A/D result is loaded at the completion  
of the A/D conversion. This register pair is 16 bits wide.  
The A/D module gives the flexibility to left or right justify  
the 10-bit result in the 16-bit result register. The A/D  
Format Select bit (ADFM) controls this justification.  
Figure 12-4 shows the operation of the A/D result  
justification. The extra bits are loaded with ‘0’s. When  
an A/D result will not overwrite these locations (A/D dis-  
able), these registers may be used as two general  
purpose 8-bit registers.  
Clearing the GO/DONE bit during a conversion will  
abort the current conversion. The A/D result register  
pair will NOT be updated with the partially completed  
A/D conversion sample. That is, the ADRESH:ADRESL  
registers will continue to contain the value of the last  
completed conversion (or the last value written to the  
ADRESH:ADRESL registers). After the A/D conversion  
is aborted, a 2 TAD wait is required before the next  
acquisition is started. After this 2 TAD wait, acquisition  
on the selected channel is automatically started. The  
GO/DONE bit can then be set to start the conversion.

Note:  
The GO/DONE bit should NOT be set in  
the same instruction that turns on the A/D.

12.5 A/D Operation During SLEEP  
12.6 Effects of a RESET  
The A/D module can operate during SLEEP mode. This  
requires that the A/D clock source be set to RC  
(ADCS1:ADCS0 = 11). When the RC clock source is  
selected, the A/D module waits one instruction cycle  
before starting the conversion. This allows the SLEEP  
instruction to be executed, which eliminates all digital  
switching noise from the conversion. When the conver-  
sion is completed, the GO/DONE bit will be cleared and  
the result loaded into the ADRES register. If the A/D  
interrupt is enabled, the device will wake-up from  
SLEEP. If the A/D interrupt is not enabled, the A/D mod-  
ule will then be turned off, although the ADON bit will  
remain set.  
A device RESET forces all registers to their RESET  
state. The A/D module is disabled and any conversion  
in progress is aborted. All A/D input pins are configured  
as analog inputs.  
The value that is in the ADRESH:ADRESL registers  
is not modified for  
a
Power-on Reset. The  
ADRESH:ADRESL registers will contain unknown data  
after a Power-on Reset.  
12.7 Use of the CCP Trigger  
An A/D conversion can be started by the “special event  
trigger” of the CCP module. This requires that the  
CCP1M3:CCP1M0 bits (CCP1CON<3:0>) be pro-  
grammed as ‘1011’ and that the A/D module is enabled  
(ADON bit is set). When the trigger occurs, the GO/  
DONE bit will be set, starting the A/D conversion and  
the Timer1 counter will be reset to zero. Timer1 is reset  
to automatically repeat the A/D acquisition period with  
When the A/D clock source is another clock option (not  
RC), a SLEEPinstruction will cause the present conver-  
sion to be aborted and the A/D module to be turned off,  
though the ADON bit will remain set.  
Turning off the A/D places the A/D module in its lowest  
current consumption state.  
minimal  
software  
overhead  
(moving  
the  
ADRESH:ADRESL to the desired location). The appro-  
priate analog input channel must be selected and the  
minimum acquisition done before the “special event  
trigger” sets the GO/DONE bit (starts a conversion).  
Note:  
For the A/D module to operate in SLEEP,  
the A/D clock source must be set to RC  
(ADCS1:ADCS0 = 11). To perform an A/D  
conversion in SLEEP, ensure the SLEEP  
instruction immediately follows the  
instruction that sets the GO/DONE bit.  
If the A/D module is not enabled (ADON is cleared), then  
the “special event trigger” will be ignored by the A/D  
module, but will still reset the Timer1 counter.

13.3.2  
INTERNAL REFERENCE SIGNAL  
13.2 Comparator Operation  
The comparator module also allows the selection of an  
internally generated voltage reference for the  
comparators. Section 14.0 “Comparator Voltage  
Reference Module” contains a detailed description of  
the Comparator Voltage Reference module that pro-  
vides this signal. The internal reference signal is used  
when comparators are in mode CM<2:0> = 110  
(Figure 13-1). In this mode, the internal voltage  
reference is applied to the VIN+ pin of both  
comparators.  
A single comparator is shown in Figure 13-2, along with  
the relationship between the analog input levels and  
the digital output. When the analog input at VIN+ is less  
than the analog input VIN-, the output of the comparator  
is a digital low level. When the analog input at VIN+ is  
greater than the analog input VIN-, the output of the  
comparator is a digital high level. The shaded areas of  
the output of the comparator in Figure 13-2 represent  
the uncertainty due to input offsets and response time.  
13.3 Comparator Reference  
13.4 Comparator Response Time  
An external or internal reference signal may be used  
depending on the comparator operating mode. The  
analog signal present at VIN- is compared to the signal  
at VIN+, and the digital output of the comparator is  
adjusted accordingly (Figure 13-2).  
Response time is the minimum time, after selecting a  
new reference voltage or input source, before the  
comparator output has a valid level. If the internal  
reference is changed, the maximum delay of the inter-  
nal voltage reference must be considered when using  
the comparator outputs. Otherwise, the maximum  
delay of the comparators should be used (Section 18.0  
“Electrical Characteristics”).

13.5 Comparator Outputs  
Output  
The comparator outputs are read through the CMCON  
register. These bits are read only. The comparator  
outputs may also be directly output to the RA3 and RA4  
I/O pins. When enabled, multiplexors in the output path  
of the RA3 and RA4 pins will switch and the output of  
each pin will be the unsynchronized output of the com-  
parator. The uncertainty of each of the comparators is  
related to the input offset voltage and the response time  
given in the specifications. Figure 13-3 shows the  
comparator output block diagram.  
VIN-  
VIN+  
The TRISA bits will still function as an output enable/  
disable for the RA3 and RA4 pins while in this mode.  
Output  
The polarity of the comparator outputs can be changed  
using the C2INV and C1INV bits (CMCON<4:5>).  
13.3.1  
EXTERNAL REFERENCE SIGNAL  
Note 1: When reading the PORT register, all pins  
configured as analog inputs will read as a  
0’. Pins configured as digital inputs will  
convert an analog input, according to the  
Schmitt Trigger input specification.  
When external voltage references are used, the  
comparator module can be configured to have the com-  
parators operate from the same, or different reference  
sources. However, threshold detector applications may  
require the same reference. The reference signal must  
be between VSS and VDD, and can be applied to either  
pin of the comparator(s).  
2: Analog levels, on any pin defined as a  
digital input, may cause the input buffer to  
consume more current than is specified.

13.6 Comparator Interrupts  
Note:  
If a change in the CMCON register  
(C1OUT or C2OUT) should occur when a  
read operation is being executed (start of  
the Q2 cycle), then the CMIF (PIR  
registers) interrupt flag may not get set.  
The comparator interrupt flag is set whenever there is  
a change in the output value of either comparator.  
Software will need to maintain information about the  
status of the output bits, as read from CMCON<7:6>, to  
determine the actual change that occurred. The CMIF  
bit (PIR registers) is the comparator interrupt flag. The  
CMIF bit must be reset by clearing it (‘0’). Since it is  
also possible to write a ‘1’ to this register, a simulated  
interrupt may be initiated.  
The user, in the Interrupt Service Routine, can clear the  
interrupt in the following manner:  
a) Any read or write of CMCON will end the  
mismatch condition.  
b) Clear flag bit CMIF.  
The CMIE bit (PIE registers) and the PEIE bit (INTCON  
register) must be set to enable the interrupt. In addition,  
the GIE bit must also be set. If any of these bits are  
clear, the interrupt is not enabled, though the CMIF bit  
will still be set if an interrupt condition occurs.  
A mismatch condition will continue to set flag bit CMIF.  
Reading CMCON will end the mismatch condition, and  
allow flag bit CMIF to be cleared.

13.7 Comparator Operation During  
SLEEP  
13.9 Analog Input Connection  
Considerations  
When a comparator is active and the device is placed  
in SLEEP mode, the comparator remains active and  
the interrupt is functional, if enabled. This interrupt will  
wake-up the device from SLEEP mode when enabled.  
While the comparator is powered up, higher SLEEP  
currents than shown in the power-down current  
specification will occur. Each operational comparator  
will consume additional current, as shown in the com-  
parator specifications. To minimize power consumption  
while in SLEEP mode, turn off the comparators,  
CM<2:0> = 111, before entering SLEEP. If the device  
wakes up from SLEEP, the contents of the CMCON  
register are not affected.  
A simplified circuit for an analog input is shown in  
Figure 13-4. Since the analog pins are connected to a  
digital output, they have reverse biased 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 condition may  
occur. A maximum source impedance of 10 kis rec-  
ommended for the analog sources. Any external com-  
ponent connected to an analog input pin, such as a  
capacitor or a Zener diode, should have very little  
leakage current.  
13.8 Effects of a RESET  
A device RESET forces the CMCON register to its  
RESET state, causing the comparator module to be in  
the Comparator Off mode, CM<2:0> = 111.

supply voltage (also referred to as CVRSRC) comes  
directly from VDD. It should be noted, however, that the  
voltage at the top of the ladder is CVRSRC – VSAT,  
where VSAT is the saturation voltage of the power  
switch transistor. This reference will only be as  
accurate as the values of CVRSRC and VSAT.  
14.0 COMPARATOR VOLTAGE  
REFERENCE MODULE  
The Comparator Voltage Reference Generator is a 16-  
tap resistor ladder network that provides a fixed voltage  
reference when the comparators are in mode ‘110’. A  
programmable register controls the function of the ref-  
erence generator. Register 14-1 lists the bit functions of  
the CVRCON register.  
The output of the reference generator may be con-  
nected to the RA2/AN2/CVREF/VREF- pin. This can be  
used as a simple D/A function by the user, if a very  
high-impedance load is used. The primary purpose of  
this function is to provide a test path for testing the  
reference generator function.  
As shown in Figure 14-1, the resistor ladder is seg-  
mented to provide two ranges of CVREF values and has  
a power-down function to conserve power when the  
reference is not being used. The comparator reference

SLEEP mode is designed to offer a very low current  
Power-down mode. The user can wake-up from  
SLEEP through external RESET, Watchdog Timer  
Wake-up, or through an interrupt.  
15.0 SPECIAL FEATURES OF THE  
CPU  
These devices have a host of features intended to max-  
imize system reliability, minimize cost through elimina-  
tion of external components, provide power saving  
operating modes and offer code protection:  
Additional information on special features is available  
in the PICmicro® Mid-Range Reference Manual  
(DS33023).  
• RESET  
15.1 Configuration Bits  
- Power-on Reset (POR)  
- Power-up Timer (PWRT)  
- Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST)  
- Brown-out Reset (BOR)  
• Interrupts  
The configuration bits can be programmed (read as  
0’), or left unprogrammed (read as ‘1’), to select vari-  
ous device configurations. These bits are mapped in  
program memory locations 2007h and 2008h.  
• Watchdog Timer (WDT)  
• Two-Speed Start-up  
• Fail-Safe Clock Monitor  
• SLEEP  
The user will note that address 2007h is beyond the  
user program memory space, which can be accessed  
only during programming.  
• Code Protection  
• ID Locations  
• In-Circuit Serial Programming™ (ICSP™)  
There are two timers that offer necessary delays on  
power-up. One is the Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST),  
intended to keep the chip in RESET until the crystal  
oscillator is stable. The other is the Power-up Timer  
(PWRT), which provides a fixed delay of 72 ms (nomi-  
nal) on power-up only. It is designed to keep the part in  
RESET while the power supply stabilizes, and is  
enabled or disabled using a configuration bit. With  
these two timers on-chip, most applications need no  
external RESET circuitry.

PIC16F87/88  
Some registers are not affected in any RESET condi-  
tion. Their status is unknown on POR and unchanged  
in any other RESET. Most other registers are reset to a  
“RESET state” on Power-on Reset (POR), on the  
MCLR and WDT Reset, on MCLR Reset during  
SLEEP, and Brown-out Reset (BOR). They are not  
affected by a WDT wake-up, which is viewed as the  
resumption of normal operation. The TO and PD bits  
are set or cleared differently in different RESET situa-  
tions, as indicated in Table 15-3. These bits are used in  
software to determine the nature of the RESET. Upon  
a POR, BOR, or wake-up from SLEEP, the CPU  
requires approximately 5-10 µs to become ready for  
code execution. This delay runs in parallel with any  
other timers. See Table 15-4 for a full description of  
RESET states of all registers.  
15.2 RESET  
The PIC16F87/88 differentiates between various kinds  
of RESET:  
• Power-on Reset (POR)  
• MCLR Reset during normal operation  
• MCLR Reset during SLEEP  
• WDT Reset during normal operation  
• WDT Wake-up during SLEEP  
• Brown-out Reset (BOR)  
A simplified block diagram of the on-chip RESET circuit  
is shown in Figure 15-1.

When the device starts normal operation (exits the  
RESET condition), device operating parameters (volt-  
age, frequency, temperature,...) must be met to ensure  
operation. If these conditions are not met, the device  
must be held in RESET until the operating conditions  
are met. For more information, see Application Note,  
AN607 “Power-up Trouble Shooting” (DS00607).  
15.3 MCLR  
PIC16F87/88 devices have a noise filter in the MCLR  
Reset path. The filter will detect and ignore small  
pulses.  
It should be noted that a WDT Reset does not drive  
MCLR pin low.  
The behavior of the ESD protection on the MCLR pin  
has been altered from previous devices of this family.  
Voltages applied to the pin, that exceed its specifica-  
tion, can result in both MCLR and excessive current  
beyond the device specification during the ESD event.  
The circuit, as shown in Figure 15-2, is suggested.  
15.5 Power-up Timer (PWRT)  
The Power-up Timer (PWRT) of the PIC16F87/88 is a  
counter that uses the INTRC oscillator as the clock  
input. This yields a count of 72 ms. While the PWRT is  
counting, the device is held in RESET.  
Note:  
For this reason, Microchip recommends  
that the MCLR pin no longer be tied  
directly to VDD.  
The power-up time delay depends on the INTRC, and  
will vary from chip-to-chip due to temperature and  
process variation. See DC parameter #33 for details.  
The RA5/MCLR pin can be configured for MCLR  
(default), or as an I/O pin (RA5). This is configured  
through the MCLRE bit in Configuration Word 1.  
The PWRT is enabled by clearing configuration bit  
PWRTEN.  
15.6 Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST)  
FIGURE 15-2:  
EXTERNAL POWER-ON  
RESET CIRCUIT (FOR  
SLOW VDD POWER-UP)  
The Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) provides 1024  
oscillator cycles (from OSC1 input) delay after the  
PWRT delay is over (if enabled). This helps to ensure  
that the crystal oscillator or resonator has started and  
stabilized.

15.7 Brown-out Reset (BOR)  
Note 1: External Power-on Reset circuit is required  
only if the VDD power-up slope is too slow.  
The diode D helps discharge the capacitor  
quickly when VDD powers down.  
The configuration bit, BOREN, can enable or disable  
the Brown-out Reset circuit. If VDD falls below VBOR  
(parameter D005, about 4V) for longer than TBOR  
(parameter #35, about 100 µs), the brown-out situation  
will reset the device. If VDD falls below VBOR for less  
than TBOR, a RESET may not occur.  
2: R < 40 kis recommended to make sure that  
the voltage drop across R does not violate  
the device’s electrical specification.  
Once the brown-out occurs, the device will remain in  
Brown-out Reset until VDD rises above VBOR. The  
Power-up Timer (if enabled) will keep the device in  
RESET for TPWRT (parameter #33, about 72 ms). If  
VDD should fall below VBOR during TPWRT, the Brown-  
out Reset process will restart when VDD rises above  
VBOR, with the Power-up Timer Reset. Unlike previous  
PIC16 devices, the PWRT is no longer automatically  
enabled when the Brown-out Reset circuit is enabled.  
The PWRTEN and BOREN configuration bits are  
independent of each other.  
3: R1 = 1 kto 10 kwill limit any current flow-  
ing into MCLR from external capacitor C  
(0.1 µF), in the event of MCLR/VPP pin break-  
down due to Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) or  
Electrical Overstress (EOS).  
15.4 Power-on Reset (POR)  
A Power-on Reset pulse is generated on-chip when  
VDD rise is detected (in the range of 1.2V-1.7V). To take  
advantage of the POR, tie the MCLR pin to VDD, as  
described in Section 15.3 “MCLR”. A maximum rise  
time for VDD is specified. See Section 18.0 “Electrical  
Characteristics” for details.

15.8 Time-out Sequence  
15.9 Power Control/Status Register  
(PCON)  
On power-up, the time-out sequence is as follows: the  
PWRT delay starts (if enabled) when a POR occurs.  
Then, OST starts counting 1024 oscillator cycles when  
PWRT ends (LP, XT, HS). When the OST ends, the  
device comes out of RESET.  
The Power Control/Status Register, PCON, has two  
bits to indicate the type of RESET that last occurred.  
Bit0 is Brown-out Reset Status bit, BOR. Bit BOR is  
unknown on a Power-on Reset. It must then be set by  
the user and checked on subsequent RESETS to see  
if bit BOR cleared, indicating a Brown-out Reset  
occurred. When the Brown-out Reset is disabled, the  
state of the BOR bit is unpredictable.  
If MCLR is kept low long enough, all delays will expire.  
Bringing MCLR high will begin execution immediately.  
This is useful for testing purposes, or to synchronize  
more than one PIC16F87/88 device operating in  
parallel.  
Bit1 is POR (Power-on Reset Status bit). It is cleared on  
a Power-on Reset and unaffected otherwise. The user  
must set this bit following a Power-on Reset.  
Table 15-3 shows the RESET conditions for the  
STATUS, PCON and PC registers, while Table 15-4

The RB0/INT pin interrupt, the RB port change interrupt  
and the TMR0 overflow interrupt flags are contained in  
the INTCON register.  
15.10 Interrupts  
The PIC16F87/88 has up to 12 sources of interrupt.  
The Interrupt Control register (INTCON) records indi-  
vidual interrupt requests in flag bits. It also has  
individual and global interrupt enable bits.  
The peripheral interrupt flags are contained in the  
Special Function Register, PIR1. The corresponding  
interrupt enable bits are contained in Special Function  
Register, PIE1, and the peripheral interrupt enable bit  
is contained in Special Function Register, INTCON.  
Note:  
Individual interrupt flag bits are set,  
regardless of the status of their  
corresponding mask bit or the GIE bit.  
When an interrupt is serviced, the GIE bit is cleared to  
disable any further interrupt, the return address is  
pushed onto the stack, and the PC is loaded with  
0004h. Once in the Interrupt Service Routine, the  
source(s) of the interrupt can be determined by polling  
the interrupt flag bits. The interrupt flag bit(s) must be  
cleared in software before re-enabling interrupts to  
avoid recursive interrupts.  
A global interrupt enable bit, GIE (INTCON<7>),  
enables (if set) all unmasked interrupts, or disables (if  
cleared) all interrupts. When bit GIE is enabled, and an  
interrupt’s flag bit and mask bit are set, the interrupt will  
vector immediately. Individual interrupts can be dis-  
abled through their corresponding enable bits in vari-  
ous registers. Individual interrupt bits are set  
regardless of the status of the GIE bit. The GIE bit is  
cleared on RESET.  
For external interrupt events, such as the INT pin or  
PORTB change interrupt, the interrupt latency will be  
three or four instruction cycles. The exact latency  
depends on when the interrupt event occurs, relative to  
the current Q cycle. The latency is the same for one or  
two cycle instructions. Individual interrupt flag bits are  
set, regardless of the status of their corresponding  
mask bit, PEIE bit or the GIE bit.  
The “return from interrupt” instruction, RETFIE, exits  
the interrupt routine, as well as sets the GIE bit, which  
re-enables interrupts.

15.10.1 INT INTERRUPT  
15.10.3 PORTB INTCON CHANGE  
External interrupt on the RB0/INT pin is edge-triggered,  
either rising, if bit INTEDG (OPTION<6>) is set, or fall-  
ing, if the INTEDG bit is clear. When a valid edge  
appears on the RB0/INT pin, flag bit, INTF  
(INTCON<1>), is set. This interrupt can be disabled by  
clearing enable bit INTE (INTCON<4>). Flag bit INTF  
must be cleared in software in the Interrupt Service  
Routine before re-enabling this interrupt. The INT inter-  
rupt can wake-up the processor from SLEEP, if bit INTE  
was set prior to going into SLEEP. The status of global  
interrupt enable bit GIE decides whether or not the  
processor branches to the interrupt vector, following  
wake-up. See Section 15.13 “Power-down Mode  
(SLEEP)” for details on SLEEP mode.  
An input change on PORTB<7:4> sets flag bit RBIF  
(INTCON<0>). The interrupt can be enabled/disabled  
by setting/clearing enable bit RBIE (INTCON<4>), see  
Section 3.2 “EECON1 and EECON2 Registers”.  
15.11 Context Saving During Interrupts  
During an interrupt, only the return PC value is saved  
on the stack. Typically, users may wish to save key reg-  
isters during an interrupt (i.e., W, STATUS registers).  
Since the upper 16 bytes of each bank are common in  
the PIC16F87/88 devices, temporary holding registers  
W_TEMP, STATUS_TEMP, and PCLATH_TEMP  
should be placed in here. These 16 locations don’t  
require banking and therefore, make it easier for con-  
text save and restore. The same code shown in  
Example 15-1 can be used.  
15.10.2 TMR0 INTERRUPT  
An overflow (FFh 00h) in the TMR0 register will set  
flag bit TMR0IF (INTCON<2>). The interrupt can be  
enabled/disabled by setting/clearing enable bit TMR0IE  
(INTCON<5>), see Section 6.0 “Timer0 Module”.

15.12.2 WDT CONTROL  
15.12 Watchdog Timer (WDT)  
The WDTEN bit is located in Configuration Word 1 and  
when this bit is set, the WDT runs continuously.  
For PIC16F87/88 devices, the WDT has been modified  
from previous PIC16 devices. The new WDT is code  
and functionally backward compatible with previous  
PIC16 WDT modules, and allows the user to have a  
scaler value for the WDT and TMR0 at the same time.  
In addition, the WDT time-out value can be extended to  
268 seconds, using the prescaler with the postscaler  
when PSA is set to ‘1’.  
The SWDTEN bit is in the WDTCON register. When the  
WDTEN bit in the Configuration Word 1 register is set,  
the SWDTEN bit has no effect. If WDTEN is clear, then  
the SWDTEN bit can be used to enable and disable the  
WDT. Setting the bit will enable it and clearing the bit  
will disable it.  
The PSA and PS<2:0> bits (OPTION_REG) have the  
same function as in previous versions of the PIC16  
family of microcontrollers.  
15.12.1 WDT OSCILLATOR  
The WDT derives its time base from the 31.25 kHz  
INTRC. The value of WDTCON is ‘---0 1000’ on all  
RESETS. This gives a nominal time base of 16.38 ms,  
which is compatible with the time base generated with  
previous PIC16 microcontroller versions.  
Note:  
When the OST is invoked, the WDT is held  
in RESET, because the WDT ripple  
counter is used by the OST to perform the  
oscillator delay count. When the OST  
count has expired, the WDT will begin  
counting (if enabled).  
A new prescaler has been added to the path between  
the internal RC and the multiplexors used to select the  
path for the WDT. This prescaler is 16 bits and can be  
programmed to divide the internal RC by 128 to 65536,  
giving the time base used for the WDT a nominal range  
of 1 ms to 2.097s.

Checking the state of the OSTS bit will confirm  
whether the primary clock configuration is engaged. If  
not, the OSTS bit will remain clear.  
15.12.3 TWO-SPEED CLOCK START-UP  
MODE  
Two-Speed Start-up mode minimizes the latency  
between oscillator start-up and code execution that  
may be selected with the IESO (Internal/External  
Switch Over) bit in Configuration Word 2. This mode is  
achieved by initially using the INTRC for code  
execution until the primary oscillator is stable.  
When the device is auto-configured in INTRC mode fol-  
lowing a POR or wake-up from SLEEP, the rules for  
entering other oscillator modes still apply, meaning the  
SCS<1:0> bits in OSCCON can be modified before the  
OST time-out has occurred. This would allow the appli-  
cation to wake-up from SLEEP, perform a few instruc-  
tions using the INTRC as the clock source and go back  
to SLEEP without waiting for the primary oscillator to  
become stable.  
If this mode is enabled, and any of the following condi-  
tions exist, the system will begin execution with the  
INTRC oscillator. This results in almost immediate  
code execution with a minimum of delay.  
Note:  
Executing a SLEEP instruction will abort  
the oscillator start-up time and will cause  
the OSTS bit to remain clear.  
• POR and after the Power-up Timer has expired (if  
PWRTEN = 0),  
• or following a wake-up from SLEEP,  
• or a RESET when running from T1OSC or INTRC  
(after a RESET, SCS<1:0> are always set to ‘00’).  
15.12.3.1 Two-Speed Start-up Mode  
Sequence  
1. Wake-up from SLEEP, RESET, or POR.  
Note:  
Following any RESET, the IRCF bits are  
zeroed and the frequency selection is  
forced to 31.25 kHz. The user can modify  
the IRCF bits to select a higher internal  
oscillator frequency.  
2. OSCON bits configured to run from INTRC  
(31.25 kHz).  
3. Instructions begin execution by INTRC  
(31.25 kHz).  
4. OST enabled to count 1024 clock cycles.  
5. OST timed out, wait for falling edge of INTRC.  
6. OSTS is set.  
If the primary oscillator is configured to be anything  
other than XT, LP, or HS, then Two-Speed Start-up  
mode is disabled, because the primary oscillator will  
not require any time to become stable after POR, or an  
exit from SLEEP.  
7. System clock held low for eight falling edges of  
new clock (LP, XT, or HS).  
If the IRCF bits of the OSCCON register are configured  
to a non-zero value prior to entering SLEEP mode, the  
system clock frequency will come from the output of  
the INTOSC. The IOFS bit in the OSCCON register will  
be clear until the INTOSC is stable. This will allow the  
user to determine when the internal oscillator can be  
used for time critical applications.  
8. System clock is switched to primary source (LP,  
XT, or HS).  
The software may read the OSTS bit to determine  
when the switch over takes place so that any software  
timing edges can be adjusted.

The FSCM sample clock is generated by dividing the  
INTRC clock by 64. This will allow enough time  
between FSCM sample clocks for a system clock edge  
to occur.  
15.12.4 FAIL-SAFE OPTION  
The Fail-Safe Clock Monitor (FSCM) is designed to  
allow the device to continue to operate even in the  
event of an oscillator failure.  
On the rising edge of the postscaled clock, the moni-  
toring latch (CM = 0) will be cleared. On a falling edge  
of the primary or secondary system clock, the monitor-  
ing latch will be set (CM = 1). In the event that a falling  
edge of the postscaled clock occurs, and the  
monitoring latch is not set, a clock failure has been  
detected.

While in Fail-Safe mode, a RESET will exit the fail-  
safe condition. If the primary clock source is config-  
ured for a crystal, the OST timer will wait for the 1024  
clock cycles for the OST time-out, and the device will  
continue running from the internal oscillator until the  
OST is complete. A SLEEPinstruction, or a write to the  
SCS bits (where SCS bits do not = 00), can be  
performed to put the device into a low-power mode.

The FSCM function is enabled by setting the FCMEN  
bit in Configuration Word 2.  
If RESET occurs while in Fail-Safe mode and the pri-  
mary clock source is EC, or RC, then the device will  
immediately switch back to EC or RC mode.  
In the event of an oscillator failure, the FSCM will gen-  
erate an oscillator fail interrupt and will switch the sys-  
tem clock over to the internal oscillator. The system  
will continue to come from the internal oscillator until  
the fail-safe condition is exited. The fail-safe condition  
is exited with either a RESET, the execution of a  
SLEEPinstruction or a write to the OSCCON register.  
15.12.4.1 Fail-Safe in Low-power Mode  
A write to the OSCCON register, or SLEEPinstruction  
will end the fail-safe condition. The system clock will  
default to the source selected by the SCS bits, which  
is either T1OSC, INTRC, or none (SLEEP mode).  
However, the FSCM will continue to monitor the sys-  
tem clock. If the secondary clock fails, the device will  
immediately switch to the internal oscillator clock. If  
OSFIE is set, an interrupt will be generated.  
The frequency of the internal oscillator will depend  
upon the value contained in the IRCF bits. Another  
clock source can be selected via the IRCF and the  
SCS bits of the OSCCON register.

2. CONDITIONS:  
15.12.4.2 FSCM and the Watchdog Timer  
After a POR (Power-on Reset), the device is  
running in Two-Speed Start-up mode. The crys-  
tal fails before the OST has expired. If a crystal  
fails during the OST period, a fail-safe condition  
will not be detected (OSFIF will not get set).  
When a clock failure is detected, SCS<1:0> will be  
forced to ‘10’, which will reset the WDT (if enabled).  
15.12.4.3 POR or Wake From Sleep  
The FSCM is designed to detect oscillator failure at any  
point after the device has exited Power-on Reset  
(POR) or low-power SLEEP mode. When the primary  
system clock is EC, RC or INTRC modes, monitoring  
can begin immediately following these events.  
OSTS = 0  
SCS = 00  
OSFIF = 0  
USER ACTION:  
For Oscillator modes involving a crystal or resonator  
(HS, LP, or XT), the situation is somewhat different.  
Since the oscillator may require a start-up time consid-  
erably longer than the FSCM sample clock time, a false  
clock failure may be detected. To prevent this, the inter-  
nal oscillator block is automatically configured as the  
system clock and functions until the primary clock is  
stable (the OST timer has timed out). This is identical  
to Two-Speed Start-up mode. Once the primary clock is  
stable, the INTRC returns to its role as the FSCM  
source.  
Check the OSTS bit. If it’s clear and the OST  
should have expired at this point, then the user  
can assume the crystal has failed. The user  
should change the SCS bit to cause a clock  
switch which will also release the 10-bit ripple  
counter for WDT operation (if enabled).  
3. CONDITIONS:  
The device is clocked from a crystal during  
normal operation and it fails.  
OSTS = 0  
SCS = 00  
OSFIF = 1  
Note:  
The same logic that prevents false oscilla-  
tor failure interrupts on PORT or wake  
from SLEEP, will also prevent the detec-  
tion of the oscillator’s failure to start at all  
following these events. This can be  
avoided by monitoring the OSTS bit and  
using a timing routine to determine if the  
oscillator is taking too long to start. Even  
so, no oscillator failure interrupt will be  
flagged.  
USER ACTION:  
Clear the OSFIF bit. Configure the SCS bits for  
a clock switch and the fail-safe condition will be  
cleared. Later, if the user decides to, the crystal  
can be re-tried for operation. If this is done, the  
OSTS bit should be monitored to determine if  
the crystal operates.  
15.12.4.4 Example Fail-Safe Conditions  
1. CONDITIONS:  
15.13 Power-down Mode (SLEEP)  
Power-down mode is entered by executing a SLEEP  
instruction.  
The device is clocked from a crystal, crystal  
operation fails and then SLEEP mode is  
entered.  
If enabled, the Watchdog Timer will be cleared but  
keeps running, the PD bit (STATUS<3>) is cleared, the  
TO (STATUS<4>) bit is set, and the oscillator driver is  
turned off. The I/O ports maintain the status they had  
before the SLEEP instruction was executed (driving  
high, low, or high-impedance).  
OSTS = 0  
SCS = 00  
OSFIF = 1  
USER ACTION:  
For lowest current consumption in this mode, place all  
I/O pins at either VDD or VSS, ensure no external cir-  
cuitry is drawing current from the I/O pin, power-down  
the A/D and disable external clocks. Pull all I/O pins  
that are hi-impedance inputs, high or low externally, to  
avoid switching currents caused by floating inputs. The  
T0CKI input should also be at VDD or VSS for lowest  
current consumption. The contribution from on-chip  
pull-ups on PORTB should also be considered.  
SLEEP mode will exit the fail-safe condition.  
Therefore, if the user code did not handle the  
detected fail-safe prior to the SLEEP command,  
then upon wake-up, the device will try to start  
the crystal that failed and a fail-safe condition  
will not be detected. Monitoring the OSTS bit will  
determine if the crystal is operating. The user  
should not enter SLEEP mode without handling  
the fail-safe condition first.  
The MCLR pin must be at a logic high level (VIHMC).

interrupt enable bit must be set (enabled). Wake-up  
occurs regardless of the state of the GIE bit. If the GIE  
bit is clear (disabled), the device continues execution at  
the instruction after the SLEEPinstruction. If the GIE bit  
is set (enabled), the device executes the instruction  
after the SLEEP instruction and then branches to the  
interrupt address (0004h). In cases where the execu-  
tion of the instruction following SLEEPis not desirable,  
the user should have a NOPafter the SLEEPinstruction.  
15.13.1 WAKE-UP FROM SLEEP  
The device can wake-up from SLEEP through one of  
the following events:  
1. External RESET input on MCLR pin.  
2. Watchdog Timer wake-up (if WDT was enabled).  
3. Interrupt from INT pin, RB port change or a  
peripheral interrupt.  
External MCLR Reset will cause a device RESET. All  
other events are considered a continuation of program  
execution and cause a “wake-up”. The TO and PD bits  
in the STATUS register can be used to determine the  
cause of the device RESET. The PD bit, which is set on  
power-up, is cleared when SLEEP is invoked. The TO  
bit is cleared if a WDT time-out occurred and caused  
wake-up.  
15.13.2 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:  
• If the interrupt occurs before the execution of a  
SLEEPinstruction, the SLEEPinstruction will com-  
plete as a NOP. Therefore, the WDT and WDT  
prescaler and postscaler (if enabled) will not be  
cleared, the TO bit will not be set and the PD bit  
will not be cleared.  
The following peripheral interrupts can wake the device  
from SLEEP:  
1. TMR1 interrupt. Timer1 must be operating as an  
asynchronous counter.  
• If the interrupt occurs during or after the  
execution of a SLEEPinstruction, the device will  
immediately wake-up from SLEEP. The SLEEP  
instruction will be completely executed before the  
wake-up. Therefore, the WDT and WDT prescaler  
and postscaler (if enabled) will be cleared, the TO  
bit will be set and the PD bit will be cleared.  
2. CCP Capture mode interrupt.  
3. Special event trigger (Timer1 in Asynchronous  
mode using an external clock).  
4. SSP (START/STOP) bit detect interrupt.  
5. SSP transmit or receive in Slave mode (SPI/I2C).  
6. A/D conversion (when A/D clock source is RC).  
7. EEPROM write operation completion.  
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.  
8. Comparator output changes state.  
9. USART RX or TX (Synchronous Slave mode).  
Other peripherals cannot generate interrupts, since  
during SLEEP, no on-chip clocks are present.  
When the SLEEPinstruction is being executed, the next  
instruction (PC + 1) is pre-fetched. For the device to  
wake-up through an interrupt event, the corresponding  
To ensure that the WDT is cleared, a CLRWDTinstruction  
should be executed before a SLEEPinstruction.

15.14 In-Circuit Debugger  
15.17 In-Circuit Serial Programming  
When the DEBUG bit in the configuration word is pro-  
grammed to a ‘0’, the In-Circuit Debugger functionality  
is enabled. This function allows simple debugging func-  
tions when used with MPLAB® ICD. When the micro-  
controller has this feature enabled, some of the  
resources are not available for general use. Table 15-7  
shows which features are consumed by the background  
debugger.  
PIC16F87/88 microcontrollers can be serially pro-  
grammed while in the end application circuit. This is  
simply done with two lines for clock and data and three  
other lines for power, ground, and the programming  
voltage (see Figure 15-13 for an example). This allows  
customers to manufacture boards with unprogrammed  
devices and then program the microcontroller just  
before shipping the product. This also allows the most  
recent firmware or

15.18 Low-Voltage ICSP Programming  
Note 1: The High-Voltage Programming mode is  
always available, regardless of the state  
of the LVP bit, by applying VIHH to the  
MCLR pin.  
The LVP bit of the configuration word enables low-  
voltage ICSP programming. This mode allows the  
microcontroller to be programmed via ICSP using a  
VDD source in the operating voltage range. This only  
means that VPP does not have to be brought to VIHH,  
but can instead be left at the normal operating voltage.  
In this mode, the RB3/PGM pin is dedicated to the pro-  
gramming function and ceases to be a general purpose  
I/O pin.  
2: While in Low-Voltage ICSP mode  
(LVP = 1), the RB3 pin can no longer be  
used as a general purpose I/O pin.  
3: When using Low-Voltage ICSP Program-  
ming (LVP) and the pull-ups on PORTB  
are enabled, bit 3 in the TRISB register  
must be cleared to disable the pull-up on  
RB3 and ensure the proper operation of  
the device.  
If Low-Voltage Programming mode is not used, the LVP  
bit can be programmed to a ‘0’ and RB3/PGM becomes  
a digital I/O pin. However, the LVP bit may only be pro-  
grammed when programming mode is entered with  
VIHH on MCLR. The LVP bit can only be changed when  
using high voltage on MCLR.  
4: RB3 should not be allowed to float if LVP  
is enabled. An external pull-down device  
should be used to default the device to  
normal operating mode. If RB3 floats  
high, the PIC16F87/88 device will enter  
Programming mode.  
It should be noted that once the LVP bit is programmed  
to ‘0’, only the High-Voltage Programming mode is  
available and only this mode can be used to program  
the device.  
5: LVP mode is enabled by default on all  
devices shipped from Microchip. It can be  
disabled by clearing the LVP bit in the  
CONFIG register.  
When using Low-Voltage ICSP, the part must be sup-  
plied at 4.5V to 5.5V if a bulk erase will be executed. This  
includes reprogramming of the code protect bits from an  
on-state to an off-state. For all other cases of Low-  
Voltage ICSP, the part may be programmed at the nor-  
mal operating voltage. This means calibration values,  
unique user IDs, or user code can be reprogrammed or  
added.  
6: Disabling LVP will provide maximum  
compatibility to other PIC16CXXX  
devices.  
The following LVP steps assume the LVP bit is set in the  
Configuration register.  
1. Apply VDD to the VDD pin.  
2. Drive MCLR low.  
3. Apply VDD to the RB3/PGM pin.  
4. Apply VDD to the MCLR pin.  
5. Follow with the associated programming steps.

For example, a “clrf PORTB” instruction will read  
PORTB, clear all the data bits, then write the result  
back to PORTB. This example would have the unin-  
tended result that the condition that sets the RBIF flag  
would be cleared.

The PIC16 instruction set is highly orthogonal and is  
comprised of three basic categories:  
Byte-oriented operations  
Bit-oriented operations  
TABLE 16-1: OPCODE FIELD  
DESCRIPTIONS  
Literal and control operations  
Each PIC16 instruction is a 14-bit word divided into an  
opcode, which specifies the instruction type, and one  
or more operands, which further specify the operation  
of the instruction. The formats for each of the catego-  
ries are presented in Figure 16-1, while the various  
opcode fields are summarized in Table 16-1.

MPASMTM assembler. A complete description of each  
instruction is also available in the PICmicro® Mid-Range  
MCU Family Reference Manual (DS33023).  
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.  
For byte-oriented instructions, ‘f’ represents a file reg-  
ister designator and ‘d’ represents a destination desig-  
nator. The file register designator specifies which file  
register is to be used by the instruction.  
d
Destination select; d = 0: store result in W,  
d = 1: store result in file register f.  
Default is d = 1.  
PC  
TO  
PD  
Program Counter

The destination designator specifies where the result of  
the operation is to be placed. If ‘d’ is zero, the result is  
placed in the W register. If ‘d’ is one, the result is placed  
in the file register specified in the instruction.

One instruction cycle consists of four oscillator periods;  
for an oscillator frequency of 4 MHz, this gives a normal  
instruction execution time of 1 µs. All instructions are  
executed within a single instruction cycle, unless a con-  
ditional test is true, or the program counter is changed  
as a result of an instruction. When this occurs, the exe-  
cution takes two instruction cycles, with the second  
cycle executed as a NOP.

Any 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 instruc-  
tion, or the destination designator ‘d’. A read operation  
is performed on a register even if the instruction writes  
to that register.

Note 1: When an I/O register is modified as a function of itself (e.g., MOVF PORTB, 1), the value used will be that value present  
on the pins themselves. For example, if the data latch is ‘1’ for a pin configured as input and is driven low by an external  
device, the data will be written back with a ‘0’.  
2: If this instruction is executed on the TMR0 register (and, where applicable, d = 1), the prescaler will be cleared if

3: If Program Counter (PC) is modified or a conditional test is true, the instruction requires two cycles. The second cycle is  
executed as a NOP.

relocatable objects from pre-compiled libraries, using  
directives from a linker script.  
• Flexible macro language  
• MPLAB IDE compatibility  
17.7 MPLAB SIM Software Simulator  
The MPLAB SIM software simulator allows code devel-  
opment in a PC hosted environment by simulating the  
PICmicro series microcontrollers on an instruction  
level. On any given instruction, the data areas can be  
examined or modified and stimuli can be applied from  
a file, or user defined key press, to any pin. The execu-  
tion can be performed in Single-Step, Execute Until  
Break, or Trace mode.  
The MPLIB object librarian manages the creation and  
modification of library files of pre-compiled 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.  
The object linker/library features include:  
• Efficient linking of single libraries instead of many  
smaller files  
The MPLAB SIM simulator fully supports symbolic  
debugging using the MPLAB C17 and MPLAB C18  
C Compilers, as well as the MPASM assembler. The  
software simulator offers the flexibility to develop and  
debug code outside of the laboratory environment,  
making it an excellent, economical software  
development tool.  
• Enhanced code maintainability by grouping  
related modules together  
• Flexible creation of libraries with easy module  
listing, replacement, deletion and extraction  
17.5 MPLAB C30 C Compiler  
17.8 MPLAB SIM30 Software Simulator  
The MPLAB C30 C compiler is a full-featured, ANSI  
compliant, optimizing compiler that translates standard  
ANSI C programs into dsPIC30F assembly language  
source. The compiler also supports many command-  
line options and language extensions to take full  
advantage of the dsPIC30F device hardware capabili-  
ties, and afford fine control of the compiler code  
generator.  
The MPLAB SIM30 software simulator allows code  
development in a PC hosted environment by simulating  
the dsPIC30F series microcontrollers on an instruction  
level. On any given instruction, the data areas can be  
examined or modified and stimuli can be applied from  
a file, or user defined key press, to any of the pins.  
The MPLAB SIM30 simulator fully supports symbolic  
debugging using the MPLAB C30 C Compiler and  
MPLAB ASM30 assembler. The simulator runs in either  
a Command Line mode for automated tasks, or from  
MPLAB IDE. This high-speed simulator is designed to  
debug, analyze and optimize time intensive DSP  
routines.  
MPLAB C30 is distributed with a complete ANSI C  
standard library. All library functions have been vali-  
dated and conform to the ANSI C library standard. The  
library includes functions for string manipulation,  
dynamic memory allocation, data conversion, time-  
keeping, and math functions (trigonometric, exponen-  
tial and hyperbolic). The compiler provides symbolic  
information for high level source debugging with the  
MPLAB IDE.

including LIN and Motor Control using ECCP. Special  
provisions are made for low-power operation with the  
supercapacitor circuit, and jumpers allow on-board  
hardware to be disabled to eliminate current draw in  
this mode. Included on the demo board are provisions  
for Crystal, RC or Canned Oscillator modes, a five volt  
regulator for use with a nine volt wall adapter or battery,  
DB-9 RS-232 interface, ICD connector for program-  
ming via ICSP and development with MPLAB ICD 2,  
2x16 liquid crystal display, PCB footprints for H-Bridge  
motor driver, LIN transceiver and EEPROM. Also  
included are: header for expansion, eight LEDs, four  
potentiometers, three push buttons and a prototyping  
area. Included with the kit is a PIC16F627A and a  
PIC18F1320. Tutorial firmware is included along with  
the User’s Guide.

Note 1: Power dissipation is calculated as follows: Pdis = VDD x {IDD - IOH} + {(VDD - VOH) x IOH} + (VOl x IOL)  
2: Voltage spikes at the MCLR pin may cause latch-up. A series resistor of greater than 1 kshould be used  
to pull MCLR to VDD, rather than tying the pin directly to VDD.  
† NOTICE: Stresses above those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the  
device. This is a stress rating only and functional operation of the device at those or any other conditions above those  
indicated in the operation listings of this specification is not implied. Exposure to maximum rating conditions for  
extended periods may affect device reliability.

Note 1: 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 VDD or VSS, and all features that add delta  
current disabled (such as WDT, Timer1 Oscillator, BOR, etc.).  
2: The supply current is mainly a function of operating voltage, frequency and mode. Other factors, such as I/O pin loading  
and switching rate, oscillator type and circuit, internal code execution pattern and temperature, also have an impact on  
the current consumption.  
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 enabled/disabled as specified.  
3: For RC oscillator configurations, current through REXT is not included. The current through the resistor can be estimated

Note 1: 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 VDD or VSS, and all features that add delta  
current disabled (such as WDT, Timer1 Oscillator, BOR, etc.).  
2: The supply current is mainly a function of operating voltage, frequency and mode. Other factors, such as I/O pin loading  
and switching rate, oscillator type and circuit, internal code execution pattern and temperature, also have an impact on  
the current consumption.  
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 enabled/disabled as specified.  
3: For RC oscillator configurations, current through REXT is not included. The current through the resistor can be estimated  
by the formula Ir = VDD/2REXT (mA) with REXT in k.

Data in “Typ” column is at 5V, 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 oper-  
ation and/or higher than expected current consumption. All devices are tested to operate at “min.” values  
with an external clock applied to the OSC1/CLKI pin. When an external clock input is used, the “max.”  
cycle time limit is “DC” (no clock) for all devices.

These parameters are characterized but not tested.  
Note 1: As a transmitter, the device must provide this internal minimum delay time to bridge the undefined region  
(min. 300 ns) of the falling edge of SCL to avoid unintended generation of START or STOP conditions.  
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.
