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and may be superseded by updates.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

ENHANCED MID-RANGE CPU  
This family of devices contain an enhanced mid-range  
8-bit CPU core. The CPU has 49 instructions. Interrupt  
capability includes automatic context saving. The  
hardware stack is 16 levels deep and has Overflow and  
Underflow Reset capability. Direct, Indirect, and  
Relative addressing modes are available. Two File  
Select Registers (FSRs) provide the ability to read  
program and data memory.  
• Automatic Interrupt Context Saving  
• 16-level Stack with Overflow and Underflow  
• File Select Registers  
• Instruction Set  
2.1  
Automatic Interrupt Context  
Saving  
During interrupts, certain registers are automatically  
saved in Shadow registers and restored when returning  
from the interrupt. This saves stack space and user  
code. See Section 7.5 “Automatic Context Saving”,  
for more information.  
2.2  
16-Level Stack with Overflow and  
Underflow  
These devices have an external stack memory 15 bits  
wide and 16 words deep. A Stack Overflow or Under-  
flow will set the appropriate bit (STKOVF or STKUNF)  
in the PCON register, and if enabled will cause a soft-  
ware Reset. See section Section 3.4 “Stack” for more  
details.  
2.3  
File Select Registers  
There are two 16-bit File Select Registers (FSR). FSRs  
can access all file registers and program memory,  
which allows one Data Pointer for all memory. When an  
FSR points to program memory, there is one additional  
instruction cycle in instructions using INDF to allow the  
data to be fetched. General purpose memory can now  
also be addressed linearly, providing the ability to  
access contiguous data larger than 80 bytes. There are  
also new instructions to support the FSRs. See  
Section 3.5 “Indirect Addressing” for more details.  
2.4  
Instruction Set  
There are 49 instructions for the enhanced mid-range  
CPU to support the features of the CPU. See  
Section 28.0 “Instruction Set Summary” for more  
details.

READING PROGRAM MEMORY AS  
DATA  
3.1.1.2  
Indirect Read with FSR  
The program memory can be accessed as data by set-  
ting bit 7 of the FSRxH register and reading the match-  
ing INDFx register. The MOVIWinstruction will place the  
lower 8 bits of the addressed word in the W register.  
Writes to the program memory cannot be performed via  
the INDF registers. Instructions that access the pro-  
gram memory via the FSR require one extra instruction  
cycle to complete. Example 3-2 demonstrates access-  
ing the program memory via an FSR.  
There are two methods of accessing constants in pro-  
gram memory. The first method is to use tables of  
RETLW instructions. The second method is to set an  
FSR to point to the program memory.  
3.1.1.1  
RETLWInstruction  
The RETLWinstruction can be used to provide access  
to tables of constants. The recommended way to create  
such a table is shown in Example 3-1.  
The HIGH directive will set bit<7> if a label points to a  
location in program memory.

The BRWinstruction makes this type of table very sim-  
ple to implement. If your code must remain portable  
with previous generations of microcontrollers, then the  
BRWinstruction is not available so the older table read  
method must be used.

CORE REGISTERS  
3.2  
Data Memory Organization  
The core registers contain the registers that directly  
affect the basic operation. The core registers occupy  
the first 12 addresses of every data memory bank  
(addresses x00h/x08h through x0Bh/x8Bh). These  
registers are listed below in Table 3-2. For detailed  
information, see Table 3-8.  
The data memory is partitioned in 32 memory banks  
with 128 bytes in a bank. Each bank consists of  
(Figure 3-3):  
• 12 core registers  
• 20 Special Function Registers (SFR)  
• Up to 80 bytes of General Purpose RAM (GPR)  
• 16 bytes of common RAM  
TABLE 3-2:  
CORE REGISTERS  
The active bank is selected by writing the bank number  
into the Bank Select Register (BSR). Unimplemented  
memory will read as ‘0’. All data memory can be  
accessed either directly (via instructions that use the  
file registers) or indirectly via the two File Select  
Registers (FSR). See Section 3.5 “Indirect  
Addressing” for more information.

For example, CLRF STATUSwill clear the upper three  
bits and set the Z bit. This leaves the STATUS register  
as ‘000u u1uu’ (where u= unchanged).  
3.2.1.1  
STATUS Register  
The STATUS register, shown in Register 3-1, contains:  
• the arithmetic status of the ALU  
• the Reset status  
It is recommended, therefore, that only BCF, BSF,  
SWAPF and MOVWF instructions are used to alter the  
STATUS register, because these instructions do not  
affect any Status bits. For other instructions not  
affecting any Status bits (Refer to Section 28.0  
“Instruction Set Summary”).  
The STATUS register can be the destination for any  
instruction, like any other register. If the STATUS  
register is the destination for an instruction that affects  
the Z, DC or C bits, then the write to these three bits is  
disabled. These bits are set or cleared according to the  
device logic. Furthermore, the TO and PD bits are not  
writable. Therefore, the result of an instruction with the  
STATUS register as destination may be different than  
intended.  
Note 1: The C and DC bits operate as Borrow  
and Digit Borrow out bits, respectively, in  
subtraction.

Note 1: For Borrow, the polarity is reversed. A subtraction is executed by adding the two’s complement of the  
second operand. For rotate (RRF, RLF) instructions, this bit is loaded with either the high-order or low-order  
bit of the source register.

The Special Function Registers are registers used by  
the application to control the desired operation of  
peripheral functions in the device. The Special Function  
Registers occupy the 20 bytes after the core registers of  
every data memory bank (addresses x0Ch/x8Ch  
through x1Fh/x9Fh). The registers associated with the  
operation of the peripherals are described in the appro-  
priate peripheral chapter of this data sheet.

COMPUTED GOTO  
3.3  
PCL and PCLATH  
A computed GOTOis accomplished by adding an offset to  
the program counter (ADDWF PCL). When performing a  
table read using a computed GOTOmethod, care should  
be exercised if the table location crosses a PCL memory  
boundary (each 256-byte block). Refer to Application  
Note AN556, “Implementing a Table Read” (DS00556).  
The Program Counter (PC) is 15 bits wide. The low byte  
comes from the PCL register, which is a readable and  
writable register. The high byte (PC<14:8>) is not directly  
readable or writable and comes from PCLATH. On any  
Reset, the PC is cleared. Figure 3-4 shows the five  
situations for the loading of the PC.  
3.3.3  
COMPUTED FUNCTION CALLS  
FIGURE 3-4:  
LOADING OF PC IN  
A computed function CALLallows programs to maintain  
tables of functions and provide another way to execute  
state machines or look-up tables. When performing a  
table read using a computed function CALL, care  
should be exercised if the table location crosses a PCL  
memory boundary (each 256-byte block).

BRANCHING

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

If using BRA, the entire PC will be loaded with PC + 1 +,  
the signed value of the operand of the BRAinstruction.  
3.3.1  
MODIFYING PCL  
Executing any instruction with the PCL register as the  
destination simultaneously causes the Program Coun-  
ter PC<14:8> bits (PCH) to be replaced by the contents  
of the PCLATH register. This allows the entire contents  
of the program counter to be changed by writing the  
desired upper 7 bits to the PCLATH register. When the  
lower 8 bits are written to the PCL register, all 15 bits of  
the program counter will change to the values con-  
tained in the PCLATH register and those being written  
to the PCL register.

3.4.1  
ACCESSING THE STACK  
3.4  
Stack  
The stack is available through the TOSH, TOSL and  
STKPTR registers. STKPTR is the current value of the  
Stack Pointer. TOSH:TOSL register pair points to the  
TOP of the stack. Both registers are read/writable. TOS  
is split into TOSH and TOSL due to the 15-bit size of the  
PC. To access the stack, adjust the value of STKPTR,  
which will position TOSH:TOSL, then read/write to  
TOSH:TOSL. STKPTR is 5 bits to allow detection of  
overflow and underflow.  
All devices have a 16-level x 15-bit wide hardware  
stack (refer to Figures 3-5 through 3-8). The stack  
space is not part of either program or data space. The  
PC is PUSHed onto the stack when CALL or CALLW  
instructions are executed or an interrupt causes a  
branch. The stack is POPed in the event of a RETURN,  
RETLWor a RETFIEinstruction execution. PCLATH is  
not affected by a PUSH or POP operation.  
The stack operates as a circular buffer if the STVREN  
bit is programmed to ‘0‘ (Configuration Words). This  
means that after the stack has been PUSHed sixteen  
times, the seventeenth PUSH overwrites the value that  
was stored from the first PUSH. The eighteenth PUSH  
overwrites the second PUSH (and so on). The  
STKOVF and STKUNF flag bits will be set on an Over-  
flow/Underflow, regardless of whether the Reset is  
enabled.  
Note:  
Care should be taken when modifying the  
STKPTR while interrupts are enabled.  
During normal program operation, CALL, CALLWand  
Interrupts will increment STKPTR while RETLW,  
RETURN, and RETFIEwill decrement STKPTR. At any  
time STKPTR can be inspected to see how much stack  
is left. The STKPTR always points at the currently used  
place on the stack. Therefore, a CALL or CALLW will  
increment the STKPTR and then write the PC, and a  
return will unload the PC and then decrement the  
STKPTR.  
Note 1: There are no instructions/mnemonics  
called PUSH or POP. These are actions  
that occur from the execution of the  
CALL, CALLW, RETURN, RETLW and  
RETFIE instructions or the vectoring to  
an interrupt address.  
Reference Figure 3-5 through Figure 3-8 for examples  
of accessing the stack.

When the stack is full, the next CALLor  
an interrupt will set the Stack Pointer to  
0x10. This is identical to address 0x00  
so the stack will wrap and overwrite the  
return address at 0x00. If the Stack  
Overflow/Underflow Reset is enabled, a  
Reset will occur and location 0x00 will  
not be overwritten.

3.4.2  
OVERFLOW/UNDERFLOW RESET  
If the STVREN bit in Configuration Words is  
programmed to ‘1’, the device will be reset if the stack  
is PUSHed beyond the sixteenth level or POPed  
beyond the first level, setting the appropriate bits  
(STKOVF or STKUNF, respectively) in the PCON  
register.  
3.5  
Indirect Addressing  
The INDFn registers are not physical registers. Any  
instruction that accesses an INDFn register actually  
accesses the register at the address specified by the  
File Select Registers (FSR). If the FSRn address  
specifies one of the two INDFn registers, the read will  
return ‘0’ and the write will not occur (though Status bits  
may be affected). The FSRn register value is created  
by the pair FSRnH and FSRnL.  
The FSR registers form a 16-bit address that allows an  
addressing space with 65536 locations. These locations  
are divided into three memory regions:  
• Traditional Data Memory  
• Linear Data Memory  
• Program Flash Memory

address 0x000 to FSR address 0xFFF. The addresses  
correspond to the absolute addresses of all SFR, GPR  
and common registers.

LINEAR DATA MEMORY  
3.5.3  
PROGRAM FLASH MEMORY  
The linear data memory is the region from FSR  
address 0x2000 to FSR address 0x29AF. This region is  
a virtual region that points back to the 80-byte blocks of  
GPR memory in all the banks.  
To make constant data access easier, the entire  
program Flash memory is mapped to the upper half of  
the FSR address space. When the MSB of FSRnH is  
set, the lower 15 bits are the address in program  
memory which will be accessed through INDF. Only the  
lower 8 bits of each memory location is accessible via  
INDF. Writing to the program Flash memory cannot be  
accomplished via the FSR/INDF interface. All  
instructions that access program Flash memory via the  
FSR/INDF interface will require one additional  
instruction cycle to complete.  
Unimplemented memory reads as 0x00. Use of the  
linear data memory region allows buffers to be larger  
than 80 bytes because incrementing the FSR beyond  
one bank will go directly to the GPR memory of the next  
bank.  
The 16 bytes of common memory are not included in  
the linear data memory region.

4.2  
Code Protection  
Code protection allows the device to be protected from  
unauthorized access. Internal access to the program  
memory is unaffected by any code protection setting.  
4.2.1  
PROGRAM MEMORY PROTECTION  
The entire program memory space is protected from  
external reads and writes by the CP bit in Configuration  
Words. When CP = 0, external reads and writes of  
program memory are inhibited and a read will return all  
0’s. The CPU can continue to read program memory,  
regardless of the protection bit settings. Writing the  
program memory is dependent upon the write  
protection  
setting.  
See  
Section 4.3  
“Write  
Protection” for more information.  
4.3  
Write Protection  
Write protection allows the device to be protected from  
unintended self-writes. Applications, such as  
bootloader software, can be protected while allowing  
other regions of the program memory to be modified.  
The WRT<1:0> bits in Configuration Words define the  
size of the program memory block that is protected.  
4.4  
User ID  
Four memory locations (8000h-8003h) are designated as  
ID locations where the user can store checksum or other  
code identification numbers. These locations are  
readable and writable during normal execution. See  
Section 10.4 “User ID, Device ID and Configuration  
Word Access” for more information on accessing these  
memory locations. For more information on checksum  
calculation, see the PIC12(L)F1501/PIC16(L)F150X  
Memory Programming Specification” (DS41573).

Device ID and Revision ID  
The memory location 8006h is where the Device ID and  
Revision ID are stored. The upper nine bits hold the  
Device ID. The lower five bits hold the Revision ID. See  
Section 10.4 “User ID, Device ID and Configuration  
Word Access” for more information on accessing  
these memory locations.

The oscillator module can be configured in one of eight  
clock modes.  
5.0  
5.1  
OSCILLATOR MODULE (WITH  
FAIL-SAFE CLOCK MONITOR)  
1. ECL – External Clock Low-Power mode  
(0 MHz to 0.5 MHz)  
Overview  
2. ECM – External Clock Medium-Power mode  
(0.5 MHz to 4 MHz)  
The oscillator module has a wide variety of clock  
sources and selection features that allow it to be used  
in a wide range of applications while maximizing perfor-  
mance and minimizing power consumption. Figure 5-1  
illustrates a block diagram of the oscillator module.  
3. ECH – External Clock High-Power mode  
(4 MHz to 20 MHz)  
4. LP – 32 kHz Low-Power Crystal mode.  
5. XT – Medium Gain Crystal or Ceramic Resonator  
Oscillator mode (up to 4 MHz)  
Clock sources can be supplied from external oscillators,  
quartz crystal resonators, ceramic resonators and  
Resistor-Capacitor (RC) circuits. In addition, the system  
clock source can be supplied from one of two internal  
oscillators, with a choice of speeds selectable via  
software. Additional clock features include:  
6. HS – High Gain Crystal or Ceramic Resonator  
mode (4 MHz to 20 MHz)  
7. RC – External Resistor-Capacitor (RC)  
8. INTOSC – Internal oscillator (31 kHz to 16 MHz)  
Clock Source modes are selected by the FOSC<2:0>  
bits in the Configuration Words. The FOSC bits  
determine the type of oscillator that will be used when  
the device is first powered.  
• Selectable system clock source between external  
or internal sources via software.  
• Two-Speed Start-up mode, which minimizes  
latency between external oscillator start-up and  
code execution.  
The EC clock mode relies on an external logic level  
signal as the device clock source. The LP, XT, and HS  
clock modes require an external crystal or resonator to  
be connected to the device. Each mode is optimized for  
a different frequency range. The RC clock mode  
requires an external resistor and capacitor to set the  
oscillator frequency.  
• Fail-Safe Clock Monitor (FSCM) designed to  
detect a failure of the external clock source (LP,  
XT, HS, EC or RC modes) and switch  
automatically to the internal oscillator.  
• Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) ensures stability  
of crystal oscillator sources  
The INTOSC internal oscillator block produces a low  
and high-frequency clock source, designated  
LFINTOSC and HFINTOSC. (See Internal Oscillator  
Block, Figure 5-1). A wide selection of device clock  
frequencies may be derived from these two clock  
sources.  
• Fast start-up oscillator allows internal circuits to  
power-up and stabilize before switching to the 16  
MHz HFINTOSC

The Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) is disabled when  
EC mode is selected. Therefore, there is no delay in  
operation after a Power-on Reset (POR) or wake-up  
from Sleep. Because the PIC® MCU design is fully  
static, stopping the external clock input will have the  
effect of halting the device while leaving all data intact.  
Upon restarting the external clock, the device will  
resume operation as if no time had elapsed.  
5.2  
Clock Source Types  
Clock sources can be classified as external or internal.  
External clock sources rely on external circuitry for the  
clock source to function. Examples are: oscillator mod-  
ules (EC mode), quartz crystal resonators or ceramic  
resonators (LP, XT and HS modes) and Resis-  
tor-Capacitor (RC) mode circuits.  
Internal clock sources are contained within the oscillator  
module. The internal oscillator block has two internal  
oscillators that are used to generate the internal system  
clock sources: the 16 MHz High-Frequency Internal  
Oscillator and the 31 kHz Low-Frequency Internal  
Oscillator (LFINTOSC).

Configuration Words.  
An external clock source can be used as the device  
system clock by performing one of the following  
actions:  
5.2.1.2  
LP, XT, HS Modes  
The LP, XT and HS modes support the use of quartz  
crystal resonators or ceramic resonators connected to  
OSC1 and OSC2 (Figure 5-3). The three modes select  
a low, medium or high gain setting of the internal  
inverter-amplifier to support various resonator types  
and speed.  
• Program the FOSC<2:0> bits in the Configuration  
Words to select an external clock source that will  
be used as the default system clock upon a  
device Reset.  
• Write the SCS<1:0> bits in the OSCCON register  
to switch the system clock source to:  
LP Oscillator mode selects the lowest gain setting of the  
internal inverter-amplifier. LP mode current consumption  
is the least of the three modes. This mode is designed to  
drive only 32.768 kHz tuning-fork type crystals (watch  
crystals).  
- Secondary oscillator during run-time, or  
- An external clock source determined by the  
value of the FOSC bits.  
See Section 5.3 “Clock Switching”for more informa-  
tion.  
XT Oscillator mode selects the intermediate gain  
setting of the internal inverter-amplifier. XT mode  
current consumption is the medium of the three modes.  
This mode is best suited to drive resonators with a  
medium drive level specification.  
5.2.1.1  
EC Mode  
The External Clock (EC) mode allows an externally  
generated logic level signal to be the system clock  
source. When operating in this mode, an external clock  
source is connected to the OSC1 input.  
OSC2/CLKOUT is available for general purpose I/O or  
CLKOUT. Figure 5-2 shows the pin connections for EC  
mode.  
HS Oscillator mode selects the highest gain setting of the  
internal inverter-amplifier. HS mode current consumption  
is the highest of the three modes. This mode is best  
suited for resonators that require a high drive setting.  
Figure 5-3 and Figure 5-4 show typical circuits for  
quartz crystal and ceramic resonators, respectively.  
EC mode has 3 power modes to select from through  
Configuration Words:  
• High power, 4-20 MHz (FOSC = 111)  
• Medium power, 0.5-4 MHz (FOSC = 110)  
• Low power, 0-0.5 MHz (FOSC = 101)

5.2.1.3  
Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST)  
If the oscillator module is configured for LP, XT or HS  
modes, the Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) counts  
1024 oscillations from OSC1. This occurs following a  
Power-on Reset (POR) and when the Power-up Timer  
(PWRT) has expired (if configured), or a wake-up from  
Sleep. During this time, the program counter does not  
increment and program execution is suspended. The  
OST ensures that the oscillator circuit, using a quartz  
crystal resonator or ceramic resonator, has started and  
is providing a stable system clock to the oscillator  
module.  
2: Always verify oscillator performance over  
the VDD and temperature range that is  
expected for the application.

Secondary Oscillator  
5.2.1.5  
External RC Mode  
The secondary oscillator is a separate crystal oscillator  
that is associated with the Timer1 peripheral. It is opti-  
mized for timekeeping operations with a 32.768 kHz  
crystal connected between the SOSCO and SOSCI  
device pins.  
The external Resistor-Capacitor (RC) modes support  
the use of an external RC circuit. This allows the  
designer maximum flexibility in frequency choice while  
keeping costs to a minimum when clock accuracy is not  
required.  
The secondary oscillator can be used as an alternate  
system clock source and can be selected during  
run-time using clock switching. Refer to Section 5.3  
“Clock Switching” for more information.  
The RC circuit connects to OSC1. OSC2/CLKOUT is  
available for general purpose I/O or CLKOUT. The  
function of the OSC2/CLKOUT pin is determined by the  
CLKOUTEN bit in Configuration Words.  
Figure 5-6 shows the external RC mode connections.

The RC oscillator frequency is a function of the supply  
voltage, the resistor (REXT) and capacitor (CEXT) values

INTERNAL CLOCK SOURCES  
5.2.2.2  
LFINTOSC  
The device may be configured to use the internal oscil-  
lator block as the system clock by performing one of the  
following actions:  
The Low-Frequency Internal Oscillator (LFINTOSC) is  
an uncalibrated 31 kHz internal clock source.  
The output of the LFINTOSC connects to a postscaler  
and multiplexer (see Figure 5-1). Select 31 kHz, via  
software, using the IRCF<3:0> bits of the OSCCON  
register. See Section 5.2.2.4 “Internal Oscillator  
Clock Switch Timing” for more information. The  
LFINTOSC is also the frequency for the Power-up Timer  
(PWRT), Watchdog Timer (WDT) and Fail-Safe Clock  
Monitor (FSCM).  
• Program the FOSC<2:0> bits in Configuration  
Words to select the INTOSC clock source, which  
will be used as the default system clock upon a  
device Reset.  
• Write the SCS<1:0> bits in the OSCCON register  
to switch the system clock source to the internal  
oscillator during run-time. See Section 5.3  
“Clock Switching”for more information.  
The LFINTOSC is enabled by selecting 31 kHz  
(IRCF<3:0> bits of the OSCCON register = 000) as the  
system clock source (SCS bits of the OSCCON  
register = 1x), or when any of the following are  
enabled:  
In INTOSC mode, OSC1/CLKIN is available for general  
purpose I/O. OSC2/CLKOUT is available for general  
purpose I/O or CLKOUT.  
The function of the OSC2/CLKOUT pin is determined  
by the CLKOUTEN bit in Configuration Words.  
• Configure the IRCF<3:0> bits of the OSCCON  
register for the desired LF frequency, and  
The internal oscillator block has two independent  
oscillators that provides the internal system clock  
source.  
• FOSC<2:0> = 100, or  
• Set the System Clock Source (SCS) bits of the  
OSCCON register to ‘1x’  
1. The HFINTOSC (High-Frequency Internal  
Oscillator) is factory calibrated and operates at  
16 MHz.  
Peripherals that use the LFINTOSC are:  
• Power-up Timer (PWRT)  
• Watchdog Timer (WDT)  
2. The LFINTOSC (Low-Frequency Internal  
Oscillator) is uncalibrated and operates at  
31 kHz.  
• Fail-Safe Clock Monitor (FSCM)  
The Low-Frequency Internal Oscillator Ready bit  
(LFIOFR) of the OSCSTAT register indicates when the  
LFINTOSC is running.  
5.2.2.1  
HFINTOSC  
The High-Frequency Internal Oscillator (HFINTOSC) is  
a factory calibrated 16 MHz internal clock source.  
The output of the HFINTOSC connects to a postscaler  
and multiplexer (see Figure 5-1). The frequency derived  
from the HFINTOSC can be selected via software using  
the IRCF<3:0> bits of the OSCCON register. See  
Section 5.2.2.4 “Internal Oscillator Clock Switch  
Timing” for more information.  
The HFINTOSC is enabled by:  
• Configure the IRCF<3:0> bits of the OSCCON  
register for the desired HF frequency, and  
• FOSC<2:0> = 100, or  
• Set the System Clock Source (SCS) bits of the  
OSCCON register to ‘1x’.  
A fast start-up oscillator allows internal circuits to  
power-up and stabilize before switching to HFINTOSC.  
The High-Frequency Internal Oscillator Ready bit  
(HFIOFR) of the OSCSTAT register indicates when the  
HFINTOSC is running.  
The High-Frequency Internal Oscillator Stable bit  
(HFIOFS) of the OSCSTAT register indicates when the  
HFINTOSC is running within 0.5% of its final value.

5.2.2.4  
Internal Oscillator Clock Switch  
Timing  
The system clock speed can be selected via software  
using the Internal Oscillator Frequency Select bits  
IRCF<3:0> of the OSCCON register.  
When switching between the HFINTOSC and the  
LFINTOSC, the new oscillator may already be shut  
down to save power (see Figure 5-7). If this is the case,  
there is a delay after the IRCF<3:0> bits of the  
OSCCON register are modified before the frequency  
selection takes place. The OSCSTAT register will  
reflect the current active status of the HFINTOSC and  
LFINTOSC oscillators. The sequence of a frequency  
selection is as follows:  
The output of the 16 MHz HFINTOSC and 31 kHz  
LFINTOSC connects to a postscaler and multiplexer  
(see Figure 5-1). The Internal Oscillator Frequency  
Select bits IRCF<3:0> of the OSCCON register select  
the frequency output of the internal oscillators. One of  
the following frequencies can be selected via software:  
1. IRCF<3:0> bits of the OSCCON register are  
modified.  
• HFINTOSC  
- 16 MHz  
2. If the new clock is shut down, a clock start-up  
delay is started.  
- 8 MHz  
- 4 MHz  
3. Clock switch circuitry waits for a falling edge of  
the current clock.  
- 2 MHz  
- 1 MHz  
4. The current clock is held low and the clock  
switch circuitry waits for a rising edge in the new  
clock.  
- 500 kHz (default after Reset)  
- 250 kHz  
5. The new clock is now active.  
- 125 kHz  
6. The OSCSTAT register is updated as required.  
7. Clock switch is complete.  
- 62.5 kHz  
- 31.25 kHz  
• LFINTOSC  
- 31 kHz  
See Figure 5-7 for more details.  
If the internal oscillator speed is switched between two  
clocks of the same source, there is no start-up delay  
before the new frequency is selected. Clock switching  
time delays are shown in Table 5-1.  
Note:  
Following any Reset, the IRCF<3:0> bits  
of the OSCCON register are set to ‘0111’  
and the frequency selection is set to  
500 kHz. The user can modify the IRCF  
bits to select a different frequency.  
Start-up delay specifications are located in the  
oscillator tables of Section 29.0 “Electrical  
Specifications”.  
The IRCF<3:0> bits of the OSCCON register allow  
duplicate selections for some frequencies. These dupli-  
cate choices can offer system design trade-offs. Lower  
power consumption can be obtained when changing  
oscillator sources for a given frequency. Faster transi-  
tion times can be obtained between frequency changes  
that use the same oscillator source.

SECONDARY OSCILLATOR  
5.3  
Clock Switching  
The secondary oscillator is a separate crystal oscillator  
associated with the Timer1 peripheral. It is optimized  
for timekeeping operations with a 32.768 kHz crystal  
connected between the SOSCO and SOSCI device  
pins.  
The system clock source can be switched between  
external and internal clock sources via software using  
the System Clock Select (SCS) bits of the OSCCON  
register. The following clock sources can be selected  
using the SCS bits:  
The secondary oscillator is enabled using the  
T1OSCEN control bit in the T1CON register. See  
Section 19.0 “Timer1 Module with Gate Control” for  
more information about the Timer1 peripheral.  
• Default system oscillator determined by FOSC  
bits in Configuration Words  
• Secondary oscillator 32 kHz crystal  
• Internal Oscillator Block (INTOSC)  
5.3.4  
SECONDARY OSCILLATOR READY  
(SOSCR) BIT  
5.3.1  
SYSTEM CLOCK SELECT (SCS)  
BITS  
The user must ensure that the secondary oscillator is  
ready to be used before it is selected as a system clock  
source. The Secondary Oscillator Ready (SOSCR) bit  
of the OSCSTAT register indicates whether the  
secondary oscillator is ready to be used. After the  
SOSCR bit is set, the SCS bits can be configured to  
select the secondary oscillator.  
The System Clock Select (SCS) bits of the OSCCON  
register selects the system clock source that is used for  
the CPU and peripherals.  
• When the SCS bits of the OSCCON register = 00,  
the system clock source is determined by value of  
the FOSC<2:0> bits in the Configuration Words.  
• When the SCS bits of the OSCCON register = 01,  
the system clock source is the secondary  
oscillator.  
• When the SCS bits of the OSCCON register = 1x,  
the system clock source is chosen by the internal  
oscillator frequency selected by the IRCF<3:0>  
bits of the OSCCON register. After a Reset, the  
SCS bits of the OSCCON register are always  
cleared.  
Note:  
Any automatic clock switch, which may  
occur from Two-Speed Start-up or  
Fail-Safe Clock Monitor, does not update  
the SCS bits of the OSCCON register. The  
user can monitor the OSTS bit of the  
OSCSTAT register to determine the current  
system clock source.  
When switching between clock sources, a delay is  
required to allow the new clock to stabilize. These oscil-  
lator delays are shown in Table 5-1.  
5.3.2  
OSCILLATOR START-UP TIME-OUT  
STATUS (OSTS) BIT  
The Oscillator Start-up Time-out Status (OSTS) bit of  
the OSCSTAT register indicates whether the system  
clock is running from the external clock source, as  
defined by the FOSC<2:0> bits in the Configuration  
Words, or from the internal clock source. In particular,  
OSTS indicates that the Oscillator Start-up Timer  
(OST) has timed out for LP, XT or HS modes. The OST  
does not reflect the status of the secondary oscillator.

TWO-SPEED START-UP MODE  
CONFIGURATION  
5.4  
Two-Speed Clock Start-up Mode  
Two-Speed Start-up mode provides additional power  
savings by minimizing the latency between external  
oscillator start-up and code execution. In applications  
that make heavy use of the Sleep mode, Two-Speed  
Start-up will remove the external oscillator start-up  
time from the time spent awake and can reduce the  
overall power consumption of the device. This mode  
allows the application to wake-up from Sleep, perform  
a few instructions using the INTOSC internal oscillator  
block as the clock source and go back to Sleep without  
waiting for the external oscillator to become stable.  
Two-Speed Start-up mode is configured by the  
following settings:  
• IESO (of the Configuration Words) = 1; Inter-  
nal/External Switchover bit (Two-Speed Start-up  
mode enabled).  
• SCS (of the OSCCON register) = 00.  
• FOSC<2:0> bits in the Configuration Words  
configured for LP, XT or HS mode.  
Two-Speed Start-up mode is entered after:  
• Power-on Reset (POR) and, if enabled, after  
Power-up Timer (PWRT) has expired, or  
Two-Speed Start-up provides benefits when the oscil-  
lator module is configured for LP, XT, or HS modes.  
The Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) is enabled for  
these modes and must count 1024 oscillations before  
the oscillator can be used as the system clock source.  
• Wake-up from Sleep.  
If the oscillator module is configured for any mode  
other than LP, XT or HS mode, then Two-Speed  
Start-up is disabled. This is because the external clock  
oscillator does not require any stabilization time after  
POR or an exit from Sleep.  
If the OST count reaches 1024 before the device  
enters Sleep mode, the OSTS bit of the OSCSTAT reg-  
ister is set and program execution switches to the  
external oscillator. However, the system may never  
operate from the external oscillator if the time spent  
awake is very short.  
Note:  
Executing a SLEEP instruction will abort  
the oscillator start-up time and will cause  
the OSTS bit of the OSCSTAT register to  
remain clear.

FAIL-SAFE CONDITION CLEARING  
5.5  
Fail-Safe Clock Monitor  
The Fail-Safe condition is cleared after a Reset,  
executing a SLEEPinstruction or changing the SCS bits  
of the OSCCON register. When the SCS bits are  
changed, the OST is restarted. While the OST is  
running, the device continues to operate from the  
INTOSC selected in OSCCON. When the OST times  
out, the Fail-Safe condition is cleared and the device  
will be operating from the external clock source. The  
Fail-Safe condition must be cleared before the OSFIF  
flag can be cleared.  
The Fail-Safe Clock Monitor (FSCM) allows the device  
to continue operating should the external oscillator fail.  
The FSCM can detect oscillator failure any time after  
the Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) has expired. The  
FSCM is enabled by setting the FCMEN bit in the  
Configuration Words. The FSCM is applicable to all  
external Oscillator modes (LP, XT, HS, EC, RC and  
secondary oscillator).

The FSCM is designed to detect an oscillator failure  
after the Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) has expired.  
The OST is used after waking up from Sleep and after  
any type of Reset. The OST is not used with the EC or  
RC Clock modes so that the FSCM will be active as  
soon as the Reset or wake-up has completed. When  
the FSCM is enabled, the Two-Speed Start-up is also  
enabled. Therefore, the device will always be executing  
code while the OST is operating.

Note:  
Due to the wide range of oscillator start-up

during oscillator start-up (i.e., after exiting  
Reset or Sleep). After an appropriate  
amount of time, the user should check the  
Status bits in the OSCSTAT register to  
verify the oscillator start-up and that the  
system clock switchover has successfully  
completed.

Failure

5.5.1  
FAIL-SAFE DETECTION  
The FSCM module detects a failed oscillator by  
comparing the external oscillator to the FSCM sample  
clock. The sample clock is generated by dividing the  
LFINTOSC by 64. See Figure 5-9. Inside the fail  
detector block is a latch. The external clock sets the  
latch on each falling edge of the external clock. The  
sample clock clears the latch on each rising edge of the  
sample clock. A failure is detected when an entire  
half-cycle of the sample clock elapses before the  
external clock goes low.  
5.5.2  
FAIL-SAFE OPERATION  
When the external clock fails, the FSCM switches the  
device clock to an internal clock source and sets the bit  
flag OSFIF of the PIR2 register. Setting this flag will  
generate an interrupt if the OSFIE bit of the PIE2  
register is also set. The device firmware can then take  
steps to mitigate the problems that may arise from a  
failed clock. The system clock will continue to be  
sourced from the internal clock source until the device  
firmware successfully restarts the external oscillator  
and switches back to external operation.  
The internal clock source chosen by the FSCM is  
determined by the IRCF<3:0> bits of the OSCCON  
register. This allows the internal oscillator to be  
configured before a failure occurs.

or POR event.  
A simplified block diagram of the On-Chip Reset Circuit  
is shown in Figure 6-1.

Power-on Reset (POR)  
6.2  
Brown-Out Reset (BOR)  
The POR circuit holds the device in Reset until VDD has  
reached an acceptable level for minimum operation.  
Slow rising VDD, fast operating speeds or analog  
performance may require greater than minimum VDD.  
The PWRT, BOR or MCLR features can be used to  
extend the start-up period until all device operation  
conditions have been met.  
The BOR circuit holds the device in Reset when VDD  
reaches a selectable minimum level. Between the  
POR and BOR, complete voltage range coverage for  
execution protection can be implemented.  
The Brown-out Reset module has four operating  
modes controlled by the BOREN<1:0> bits in Configu-  
ration Words. The four operating modes are:  
• BOR is always on  
6.1.1  
POWER-UP TIMER (PWRT)  
• BOR is off when in Sleep  
• BOR is controlled by software  
• BOR is always off  
The Power-up Timer provides a nominal 64 ms time-  
out on POR or Brown-out Reset.  
The device is held in Reset as long as PWRT is active.  
The PWRT delay allows additional time for the VDD to  
rise to an acceptable level. The Power-up Timer is  
enabled by clearing the PWRTE bit in Configuration  
Words.  
Refer to Table 6-1 for more information.  
The Brown-out Reset voltage level is selectable by  
configuring the BORV bit in Configuration Words.  
A VDD noise rejection filter prevents the BOR from trig-  
gering on small events. If VDD falls below VBOR for a  
duration greater than parameter TBORDC, the device  
will reset. See Figure 6-2 for more information.  
The Power-up Timer starts after the release of the POR  
and BOR.  
For additional information, refer to Application Note  
AN607, “Power-up Trouble Shooting” (DS00607).

Note 1: In these specific cases, “release of POR” and “wake-up from Sleep,” there is no delay in start-up. The BOR  
ready flag, (BORRDY = 1), will be set before the CPU is ready to execute instructions because the BOR  
circuit is forced on by the BOREN<1:0> bits.  
BOR protection is not active during Sleep. The device  
wake-up will be delayed until the BOR is ready.  
6.2.1  
BOR IS ALWAYS ON  
When the BOREN bits of Configuration Words are pro-  
grammed to ‘11’, the BOR is always on. The device  
start-up will be delayed until the BOR is ready and VDD  
is higher than the BOR threshold.  
6.2.3  
BOR CONTROLLED BY SOFTWARE  
When the BOREN bits of Configuration Words are  
programmed to ‘01’, the BOR is controlled by the  
SBOREN bit of the BORCON register. The device  
start-up is not delayed by the BOR ready condition or  
the VDD level.  
BOR protection is active during Sleep. The BOR does  
not delay wake-up from Sleep.  
6.2.2  
BOR IS OFF IN SLEEP  
BOR protection begins as soon as the BOR circuit is  
ready. The status of the BOR circuit is reflected in the  
BORRDY bit of the BORCON register.  
When the BOREN bits of Configuration Words are pro-  
grammed to ‘10’, the BOR is on, except in Sleep. The  
device start-up will be delayed until the BOR is ready  
and VDD is higher than the BOR threshold.  
BOR protection is unchanged by Sleep.

Low-Power Brown-out Reset  
(LPBOR)  
6.5  
Watchdog Timer (WDT) Reset  
The Watchdog Timer generates a Reset if the firmware  
does not issue a CLRWDTinstruction within the time-out  
period. The TO and PD bits in the STATUS register are  
changed to indicate the WDT Reset. See Section 9.0  
“Watchdog Timer” for more information.  
The Low-Power Brown-Out Reset (LPBOR) is an  
essential part of the Reset subsystem. Refer to  
Figure 6-1 to see how the BOR interacts with other  
modules.  
The LPBOR is used to monitor the external VDD pin.  
When too low of a voltage is detected, the device is  
held in Reset. When this occurs, a register bit (BOR) is  
changed to indicate that a BOR Reset has occurred.  
The same bit is set for both the BOR and the LPBOR.  
Refer to Register 6-2.  
6.6  
RESET Instruction  
A RESETinstruction will cause a device Reset. The RI  
bit in the PCON register will be set to ‘0’. See Table 6-4  
for default conditions after a RESET instruction has  
occurred.  
6.3.1  
ENABLING LPBOR  
6.7  
Stack Overflow/Underflow Reset  
The LPBOR is controlled by the LPBOR bit of  
Configuration Words. When the device is erased, the  
LPBOR module defaults to disabled.  
The device can reset when the Stack Overflows or  
Underflows. The STKOVF or STKUNF bits of the PCON  
register indicate the Reset condition. These Resets are  
enabled by setting the STVREN bit in Configuration  
Words. See Section 3.4.2 “Overflow/Underflow  
Reset” for more information.  
6.3.1.1  
LPBOR Module Output  
The output of the LPBOR module is a signal indicating  
whether or not a Reset is to be asserted. This signal is  
OR’d together with the Reset signal of the BOR mod-  
ule to provide the generic BOR signal which goes to  
the PCON register and to the power control block.  
6.8  
Programming Mode Exit  
Upon exit of Programming mode, the device will  
behave as if a POR had just occurred.  
6.4  
MCLR  
6.9  
Power-Up Timer  
The MCLR is an optional external input that can reset  
the device. The MCLR function is controlled by the  
MCLRE bit of Configuration Words and the LVP bit of  
Configuration Words (Table 6-2).  
The Power-up Timer optionally delays device execution  
after a BOR or POR event. This timer is typically used to  
allow VDD to stabilize before allowing the device to start  
running.

6.10 Start-up Sequence  
Upon the release of a POR or BOR, the following must  
occur before the device will begin executing:  
1. Power-up Timer runs to completion (if enabled).  
2. MCLR must be released (if enabled).  
6.4.1  
MCLR ENABLED  
When MCLR is enabled and the pin is held low, the  
device is held in Reset. The MCLR pin is connected to  
VDD through an internal weak pull-up.  
The total time-out will vary based on oscillator configu-  
ration and Power-up Timer configuration. See  
Section 5.0 “Oscillator Module (With Fail-Safe  
Clock Monitor)” for more information.  
The device has a noise filter in the MCLR Reset path.  
The filter will detect and ignore small pulses.  
The Power-up Timer runs independently of MCLR  
Reset. If MCLR is kept low long enough, the Power-up  
Timer will expire. Upon bringing MCLR high, the device  
will begin execution immediately (see Figure 6-3). This  
is useful for testing purposes or to synchronize more  
than one device operating in parallel.  
Note:  
A Reset does not drive the MCLR pin low.  
6.4.2  
MCLR DISABLED  
When MCLR is disabled, the pin functions as a general  
purpose input and the internal weak pull-up is under  
software control. See Section 11.2 “PORTA Regis-  
ters” for more information.

INTERRUPTS  
The interrupt feature allows certain events to preempt  
normal program flow. Firmware is used to determine  
the source of the interrupt and act accordingly. Some  
interrupts can be configured to wake the MCU from  
Sleep mode.  
This chapter contains the following information for  
Interrupts:  
• Operation  
• Interrupt Latency  
• Interrupts During Sleep  
• INT Pin  
• Automatic Context Saving  
Many peripherals produce interrupts. Refer to the  
corresponding chapters for details.  
A block diagram of the interrupt logic is shown in  
Figure 7-1.

Interrupt Latency  
Interrupts are disabled upon any device Reset. They  
are enabled by setting the following bits:  
Interrupt latency is defined as the time from when the  
interrupt event occurs to the time code execution at the  
interrupt vector begins. The latency for synchronous  
interrupts is 3 or 4 instruction cycles. For asynchronous  
interrupts, the latency is 3 to 5 instruction cycles,  
depending on when the interrupt occurs. See Figure 7-2  
and Figure 7.3 for more details.  
• GIE bit of the INTCON register  
• Interrupt Enable bit(s) for the specific interrupt  
event(s)  
• PEIE bit of the INTCON register (if the Interrupt  
Enable bit of the interrupt event is contained in the  
PIE1, PIE2 and PIE3 registers)  
The INTCON, PIR1, PIR2 and PIR3 registers record  
individual interrupts via interrupt flag bits. Interrupt flag  
bits will be set, regardless of the status of the GIE, PEIE  
and individual interrupt enable bits.  
The following events happen when an interrupt event  
occurs while the GIE bit is set:  
• Current prefetched instruction is flushed  
• GIE bit is cleared  
• Current Program Counter (PC) is pushed onto the  
stack  
• Critical registers are automatically saved to the  
Shadow registers (See Section 7.5 “Automatic  
Context Saving”.”)  
• PC is loaded with the interrupt vector 0004h  
The firmware within the Interrupt Service Routine (ISR)  
should determine the source of the interrupt by polling  
the interrupt flag bits. The interrupt flag bits must be  
cleared before exiting the ISR to avoid repeated  
interrupts. Because the GIE bit is cleared, any interrupt  
that occurs while executing the ISR will be recorded  
through its interrupt flag, but will not cause the  
processor to redirect to the interrupt vector.  
The RETFIE instruction exits the ISR by popping the  
previous address from the stack, restoring the saved  
context from the Shadow registers and setting the GIE  
bit.  
For additional information on a specific interrupt’s  
operation, refer to its peripheral chapter.  
Note 1: Individual interrupt flag bits are set,  
regardless of the state of any other  
enable bits.  
2: All interrupts will be ignored while the GIE  
bit is cleared. Any interrupt occurring  
while the GIE bit is clear will be serviced  
when the GIE bit is set again.

Interrupts During Sleep  
Some interrupts can be used to wake from Sleep. To  
wake from Sleep, the peripheral must be able to  
operate without the system clock. The interrupt source  
must have the appropriate Interrupt Enable bit(s) set  
prior to entering Sleep.  
On waking from Sleep, if the GIE bit is also set, the  
processor will branch to the interrupt vector. Otherwise,  
the processor will continue executing instructions after  
the SLEEPinstruction. The instruction directly after the  
SLEEP instruction will always be executed before  
branching to the ISR. Refer to Section 8.0 “Power-  
Down Mode (Sleep)” for more details.  
7.4  
INT Pin  
The INT pin can be used to generate an asynchronous  
edge-triggered interrupt. This interrupt is enabled by  
setting the INTE bit of the INTCON register. The  
INTEDG bit of the OPTION_REG register determines on  
which edge the interrupt will occur. When the INTEDG  
bit is set, the rising edge will cause the interrupt. When  
the INTEDG bit is clear, the falling edge will cause the  
interrupt. The INTF bit of the INTCON register will be set  
when a valid edge appears on the INT pin. If the GIE and  
INTE bits are also set, the processor will redirect  
program execution to the interrupt vector.  
7.5  
Automatic Context Saving  
Upon entering an interrupt, the return PC address is  
saved on the stack. Additionally, the following registers  
are automatically saved in the Shadow registers:  
• W register  
• STATUS register (except for TO and PD)  
• BSR register  
• FSR registers  
• PCLATH register  
Upon exiting the Interrupt Service Routine, these regis-  
ters are automatically restored. Any modifications to  
these registers during the ISR will be lost. If modifica-  
tions to any of these registers are desired, the corre-  
sponding Shadow register should be modified and the  
value will be restored when exiting the ISR. The  
Shadow registers are available in Bank 31 and are  
readable and writable. Depending on the user’s appli-  
cation, other registers may also need to be saved.

Interrupt Control Registers  
Note:  
Interrupt flag bits are set when an interrupt  
condition occurs, regardless of the state of  
its corresponding enable bit or the Global  
Interrupt Enable bit, GIE, of the INTCON  
register. User software should ensure the  
appropriate interrupt flag bits are clear  
prior to enabling an interrupt.

INTCON REGISTER  
The INTCON register is a readable and writable  
register, that contains the various enable and flag bits

8.1  
Wake-up from Sleep  
8.0  
POWER-DOWN MODE (SLEEP)  
The device can wake-up from Sleep through one of the  
following events:  
The Power-Down mode is entered by executing a  
SLEEPinstruction.  
1. External Reset input on MCLR pin, if enabled  
2. BOR Reset, if enabled  
Upon entering Sleep mode, the following conditions exist:  
1. WDT will be cleared but keeps running, if  
enabled for operation during Sleep.  
3. POR Reset  
4. Watchdog Timer, if enabled  
5. Any external interrupt  
2. PD bit of the STATUS register is cleared.  
3. TO bit of the STATUS register is set.  
4. CPU clock is disabled.  
6. Interrupts by peripherals capable of running dur-  
ing Sleep (see individual peripheral for more  
information)  
5. 31 kHz LFINTOSC is unaffected and peripherals  
that operate from it may continue operation in  
Sleep.  
The first three events will cause a device Reset. The  
last three events are considered a continuation of pro-  
gram execution. To determine whether a device Reset  
or wake-up event occurred, refer to Section 6.11  
“Determining the Cause of a Reset”.  
6. ADC is unaffected, if the dedicated FRC clock is  
selected.  
7. I/O ports maintain the status they had before  
SLEEPwas executed (driving high, low or high-  
impedance).  
When the SLEEPinstruction is being executed, the next  
instruction (PC + 1) is prefetched. For the device to  
wake-up through an interrupt event, the corresponding  
interrupt enable bit must be enabled. Wake-up will  
occur regardless of the state of the GIE bit. If the GIE  
bit is disabled, the device continues execution at the  
instruction after the SLEEPinstruction. If the GIE bit is  
enabled, the device executes the instruction after the  
SLEEPinstruction, the device will then call the Interrupt  
Service Routine. In cases where the execution of the  
instruction following SLEEP is not desirable, the user  
should have a NOPafter the SLEEPinstruction.  
8. Resets other than WDT are not affected by  
Sleep mode.  
Refer to individual chapters for more details on  
peripheral operation during Sleep.  
To minimize current consumption, the following  
conditions should be considered:  
• I/O pins should not be floating  
• External circuitry sinking current from I/O pins  
• Internal circuitry sourcing current from I/O pins  
• Current draw from pins with internal weak pull-ups  
• Modules using 31 kHz LFINTOSC  
The WDT is cleared when the device wakes up from  
Sleep, regardless of the source of wake-up.  
• CWG, NCO and CLC modules using HFINTOSC  
8.1.1  
WAKE-UP USING INTERRUPTS  
I/O pins that are high-impedance inputs should be  
pulled to VDD or VSS externally to avoid switching  
currents caused by floating inputs.  
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:  
Examples of internal circuitry that might be sourcing  
current include the FVR module. See Section 13.0  
“Fixed Voltage Reference (FVR)” for more  
information on this module.  
• If the interrupt occurs before the execution of a  
SLEEPinstruction  
- SLEEPinstruction will execute as a NOP.  
- WDT and WDT prescaler will not be cleared  
- TO bit of the STATUS register will not be set  
- PD bit of the STATUS register will not be  
cleared.  
• If the interrupt occurs during or after the execu-  
tion of a SLEEPinstruction  
- SLEEPinstruction will be completely exe-  
cuted  
- Device will immediately wake-up from Sleep  
- WDT and WDT prescaler will be cleared  
- TO bit of the STATUS register will be set  
- PD bit of the STATUS register will be cleared

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.

PERIPHERAL USAGE IN SLEEP  
8.2  
Low-Power Sleep Mode  
Some peripherals that can operate in Sleep mode will  
not operate properly with the Low-Power Sleep mode  
selected. The LDO will remain in the Normal Power  
mode when those peripherals are enabled. The Low-  
Power Sleep mode is intended for use with these  
peripherals:  
The PIC16F1508/9 device contains an internal Low  
Dropout (LDO) voltage regulator, which allows the  
device I/O pins to operate at voltages up to 5.5V while  
the internal device logic operates at a lower voltage.  
The LDO and its associated reference circuitry must  
remain active when the device is in Sleep mode. The  
PIC16F1508/9 allows the user to optimize the  
operating current in Sleep, depending on the  
application requirements.  
• Brown-Out Reset (BOR)  
• Watchdog Timer (WDT)  
• External interrupt pin/Interrupt-on-change pins  
• Timer1 (with external clock source)  
A Low-Power Sleep mode can be selected by setting  
the VREGPM bit of the VREGCON register. With this  
bit set, the LDO and reference circuitry are placed in a  
low-power state when the device is in Sleep.  
The Complementary Waveform Generator (CWG), the  
Numerically Controlled Oscillator (NCO) and the Con-  
figurable Logic Cell (CLC) modules can utilize the  
HFINTOSC oscillator as either a clock source or as an  
input source. Under certain conditions, when the  
HFINTOSC is selected for use with the CWG, NCO or  
CLC modules, the HFINTOSC will remain active  
during Sleep. This will have a direct effect on the  
Sleep mode current.  
8.2.1  
SLEEP CURRENT VS. WAKE-UP  
TIME  
In the default operating mode, the LDO and reference  
circuitry remain in the normal configuration while in  
Sleep. The device is able to exit Sleep mode quickly  
since all circuits remain active. In Low-Power Sleep  
mode, when waking up from Sleep, an extra delay time  
is required for these circuits to return to the normal con-  
figuration and stabilize.  
Please refer to sections 24.5 “Operation During  
Sleep”, 25.7 “Operation In Sleep” and 26.10 “Oper-  
ation During Sleep” for more information.  
The Low-Power Sleep mode is beneficial for applica-  
tions that stay in Sleep mode for long periods of time.  
The Normal mode is beneficial for applications that

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

Time-Out Period  
The WDT derives its time base from the 31 kHz  
LFINTOSC internal oscillator. Time intervals in this  
chapter are based on a nominal interval of 1 ms. See  
Section 29.0 “Electrical Specifications” for the  
LFINTOSC tolerances.  
The WDTPS bits of the WDTCON register set the  
time-out period from 1 ms to 256 seconds (nominal).  
After a Reset, the default time-out period is 2 seconds.  
9.4  
Clearing the WDT  
The WDT is cleared when any of the following condi-  
tions occur:  
9.2  
WDT Operating Modes  
The Watchdog Timer module has four operating modes  
controlled by the WDTE<1:0> bits in Configuration  
Words. See Table 9-1.  
• Any Reset  
CLRWDTinstruction is executed  
• Device enters Sleep  
• Device wakes up from Sleep  
• Oscillator fail  
9.2.1  
WDT IS ALWAYS ON  
When the WDTE bits of Configuration Words are set to  
11’, the WDT is always on.  
• WDT is disabled  
WDT protection is active during Sleep.  
See Table 9-2 for more information.  
9.2.2  
WDT IS OFF IN SLEEP  
9.5  
Operation During Sleep  
When the WDTE bits of Configuration Words are set to  
10’, the WDT is on, except in Sleep.  
When the device enters Sleep, the WDT is cleared. If  
the WDT is enabled during Sleep, the WDT resumes  
counting.  
WDT protection is not active during Sleep.  
When the device exits Sleep, the WDT is cleared  
again. The WDT remains clear until the OST, if  
enabled, completes. See Section 5.0 “Oscillator  
Module (With Fail-Safe Clock Monitor)” for more  
information on the OST.  
9.2.3  
WDT CONTROLLED BY SOFTWARE  
When the WDTE bits of Configuration Words are set to  
01’, the WDT is controlled by the SWDTEN bit of the  
WDTCON register.  
WDT protection is unchanged by Sleep. See Table 9-1  
for more details.  
When a WDT time-out occurs while the device is in  
Sleep, no Reset is generated. Instead, the device  
wakes up and resumes operation. The TO and PD bits  
in the STATUS register are changed to indicate the  
event. The RWDT bit in the PCON register can also be  
used. See Section 3.0 “Memory Organization” for  
more information.

Control bits RD and WR initiate read and write,  
respectively. These bits cannot be cleared, only set, in  
software. They are cleared by 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.  
10.0 FLASH PROGRAM MEMORY  
CONTROL  
The Flash program memory is readable and writable  
during normal operation over the full VDD range.  
Program memory is indirectly addressed using Special  
Function Registers (SFRs). The SFRs used to access  
program memory are:  
The WREN bit, when set, will allow a write operation to  
occur. On power-up, the WREN bit is clear. The  
WRERR bit is set when a write operation is interrupted  
by a Reset during normal operation. In these situations,  
following Reset, the user can check the WRERR bit  
and execute the appropriate error handling routine.  
• PMCON1  
• PMCON2  
• PMDATL  
• PMDATH  
• PMADRL  
• PMADRH  
The PMCON2 register is a write-only register. Attempting  
to read the PMCON2 register will return all ‘0’s.  
To enable writes to the program memory, a specific  
pattern (the unlock sequence), must be written to the  
PMCON2 register. The required unlock sequence  
prevents inadvertent writes to the program memory  
write latches and Flash program memory.  
When accessing the program memory, the  
PMDATH:PMDATL register pair forms a 2-byte word  
that holds the 14-bit data for read/write, and the  
PMADRH:PMADRL register pair forms a 2-byte word  
that holds the 15-bit address of the program memory  
location being read.  
10.2 Flash Program Memory Overview  
The write time is controlled by an on-chip timer. The write/  
erase voltages are generated by an on-chip charge  
pump.  
It is important to understand the Flash program memory  
structure for erase and programming operations. Flash  
program memory is arranged in rows. A row consists of  
a fixed number of 14-bit program memory words. A row  
is the minimum size that can be erased by user software.  
The Flash program memory can be protected in two  
ways; by code protection (CP bit in Configuration Words)  
and write protection (WRT<1:0> bits in Configuration  
Words).  
Code protection (CP = 0)(1), disables access, reading  
and writing, to the Flash program memory via external  
device programmers. Code protection does not affect  
the self-write and erase functionality. Code protection  
can only be reset by a device programmer performing  
a Bulk Erase to the device, clearing all Flash program  
memory, Configuration bits and User IDs.  
After a row has been erased, the user can reprogram  
all or a portion of this row. Data to be written into the  
program memory row is written to 14-bit wide data write  
latches. These write latches are not directly accessible  
to the user, but may be loaded via sequential writes to  
the PMDATH:PMDATL register pair.  
Note:  
If the user wants to modify only a portion  
of a previously programmed row, then the  
contents of the entire row must be read  
and saved in RAM prior to the erase.  
Then, new data and retained data can be  
written into the write latches to reprogram  
the row of Flash program memory. How-  
ever, any unprogrammed locations can be  
written without first erasing the row. In this  
case, it is not necessary to save and  
rewrite the other previously programmed  
locations.  
Write protection prohibits self-write and erase to a  
portion or all of the Flash program memory as defined  
by the bits WRT<1:0>. Write protection does not affect  
a device programmers ability to read, write or erase the  
device.  
Note 1: Code protection of the entire Flash  
program memory array is enabled by  
clearing the CP bit of Configuration Words.  
10.1 PMADRL and PMADRH Registers  
See Table 10-1 for Erase Row size and the number of  
write latches for Flash program memory.  
The PMADRH:PMADRL register pair can address up  
to a maximum of 32K words of program memory. When  
selecting a program address value, the MSB of the  
address is written to the PMADRH register and the LSB  
is written to the PMADRL register.

READING THE FLASH PROGRAM

3. Then, set control bit RD of the PMCON1 register.  
Select  
Program or Configuration Memory  
(CFGS)  
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 PMCON1,RD” instruction  
to be ignored. The data is available in the very next cycle,  
in the PMDATH:PMDATL register pair; therefore, it can  
be read as two bytes in the following instructions.  
Select

another read or until it is written to by the user.

(RD = 1)  
Note:  
The two instructions following a program  
memory read are required to be NOPs.  
This prevents the user from executing a

MEMORY UNLOCK  
SEQUENCE FLOWCHART  
The unlock sequence is a mechanism that protects the  
Flash program memory from unintended self-write pro-

and completed without interruption to successfully  
complete any of the following operations:  
Start  
Unlock Sequence  
• Row Erase  
• Load program memory write latches  
Write 055h to  
PMCON2  
• Write of program memory write latches to pro-  
gram memory  
• Write of program memory write latches to User  
IDs  
Write 0AAh to  
PMCON2  
The unlock sequence consists of the following steps:  
1. Write 55h to PMCON2  
Initiate  
Write or Erase operation  
(WR = 1)  
2. Write AAh to PMCON2  
3. Set the WR bit in PMCON1  
4. NOPinstruction  
5. NOPinstruction  
Instruction Fetched ignored  
NOP execution forced  
Once the WR bit is set, the processor will always force  
two NOP instructions. When an Erase Row or Program  
Row operation is being performed, the processor will stall  
internal operations (typical 2 ms), until the operation is  
complete and then resume with the next instruction.  
When the operation is loading the program memory write  
latches, the processor will always force the two NOP  
instructions and continue uninterrupted with the next  
instruction.  
Instruction Fetched ignored

End  
Unlock Sequence  
Since the unlock sequence must not be interrupted,  
global interrupts should be disabled prior to the unlock  
sequence and re-enabled after the unlock sequence is  
completed.

1. Load the PMADRH:PMADRL register pair with  
any address within the row to be erased.  
Start  
Erase Operation  
2. Clear the CFGS bit of the PMCON1 register.  
3. Set the FREE and WREN bits of the PMCON1  
register.

Select  
Program or Configuration Memory  
(CFGS)  
See Example 10-2.  
After the “BSF PMCON1,WR” instruction, the processor  
requires two cycles to set up the erase operation. The  
user must place two NOPinstructions immediately fol-  
lowing the WR bit set instruction. The processor will  
halt internal operations for the typical 2 ms erase time.  
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  
PMCON1 write instruction.

The following steps should be completed to load the  
write latches and program a row of program memory.  
These steps are divided into two parts. First, each write  
latch is loaded with data from the PMDATH:PMDATL  
using the unlock sequence with LWLO = 1. When the  
last word to be loaded into the write latch is ready, the  
LWLO bit is cleared and the unlock sequence  
executed. This initiates the programming operation,  
writing all the latches into Flash program memory.  
10.2.4  
WRITING TO FLASH PROGRAM  
MEMORY  
Program memory is programmed using the following  
steps:  
1. Load the address in PMADRH:PMADRL of the  
row to be programmed.  
2. Load each write latch with data.  
3. Initiate a programming operation.  
4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 until all data is written.  
Note:  
The special unlock sequence is required  
to load a write latch with data or initiate a  
Flash programming operation. If the  
unlock sequence is interrupted, writing to  
the latches or program memory will not be  
initiated.  
Before writing to program memory, the word(s) to be  
written must be erased or previously unwritten. Pro-  
gram memory can only be erased one row at a time. No  
automatic erase occurs upon the initiation of the write.  
Program memory can be written one or more words at  
a time. The maximum number of words written at one  
time is equal to the number of write latches. See  
Figure 10-5 (row writes to program memory with 32  
write latches) for more details.  
1. Set the WREN bit of the PMCON1 register.  
2. Clear the CFGS bit of the PMCON1 register.  
3. Set the LWLO bit of the PMCON1 register.  
When the LWLO bit of the PMCON1 register is  
1’, the write sequence will only load the write  
latches and will not initiate the write to Flash  
program memory.  
The write latches are aligned to the Flash row address  
boundary defined by the upper 10-bits of  
PMADRH:PMADRL, (PMADRH<6:0>:PMADRL<7:5>)  
with the lower 5-bits of PMADRL, (PMADRL<4:0>)  
determining the write latch being loaded. Write opera-  
tions do not cross these boundaries. At the completion  
of a program memory write operation, the data in the  
write latches is reset to contain 0x3FFF.  
4. Load the PMADRH:PMADRL register pair with  
the address of the location to be written.  
5. Load the PMDATH:PMDATL register pair with  
the program memory data to be written.  
6. Execute the unlock sequence (Section 10.2.2  
“Flash Memory Unlock Sequence”). The write  
latch is now loaded.  
7. Increment the PMADRH:PMADRL register pair  
to point to the next location.  
8. Repeat steps 5 through 7 until all but the last  
write latch has been loaded.  
9. Clear the LWLO bit of the PMCON1 register.  
When the LWLO bit of the PMCON1 register is  
0’, the write sequence will initiate the write to  
Flash program memory.  
10. Load the PMDATH:PMDATL register pair with  
the program memory data to be written.  
11. Execute the unlock sequence (Section 10.2.2  
“Flash Memory Unlock Sequence”). The  
entire program memory latch content is now  
written to Flash program memory.  
Note:  
The program memory write latches are  
reset to the blank state (0x3FFF) at the  
completion of every write or erase  
operation. As a result, it is not necessary  
to load all the program memory write  
latches. Unloaded latches will remain in  
the blank state.  
An example of the complete write sequence is shown in  
Example 10-3. The initial address is loaded into the  
PMADRH:PMADRL register pair; the data is loaded  
using indirect addressing.

10.3 Modifying Flash Program Memory  
When modifying existing data in a program memory  
row, and data within that row must be preserved, it must  
first be read and saved in a RAM image. Program  
memory is modified using the following steps:  
Start  
Modify Operation  
1. Load the starting address of the row to be  
modified.  
2. Read the existing data from the row into a RAM  
image.  
Read Operation

3. Modify the RAM image to contain the new data  
to be written into program memory.  
4. Load the starting address of the row to be  
rewritten.  
An image of the entire row read  
must be stored in RAM  
5. Erase the program memory row.  
6. Load the write latches with data from the RAM  
image.  
7. Initiate a programming operation.

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

PIC16(L)F1508/9  
The Data Latch (LATx registers) is useful for  
read-modify-write operations on the value that the I/O  
pins are driving.  
A write operation to the LATx register has the same  
effect as a write to the corresponding PORTx register.  
A read of the LATx register reads of the values held in  
the I/O PORT latches, while a read of the PORTx  
register reads the actual I/O pin value.  
Ports that support analog inputs have an associated  
ANSELx register. When an ANSEL bit is set, the digital  
input buffer associated with that bit is disabled.  
Disabling the input buffer prevents analog signal levels  
on the pin between a logic high and low from causing

11.1 Alternate Pin Function  
The Alternate Pin Function Control register is used to  
steer specific peripheral input and output functions  
between different pins. The APFCON register is shown  
in Register 11-1. For this device family, the following  
functions can be moved between different pins.  
• SS  
• T1G  
• CLC1  
• NCO1  
These bits have no effect on the values of any TRIS  
register. PORT and TRIS overrides will be routed to the  
correct pin. The unselected pin will be unaffected.

PORTA FUNCTIONS AND OUTPUT  
PRIORITIES  
11.2 PORTA Registers  
PORTA is a 6-bit wide, bidirectional port. The  
corresponding data direction register is TRISA  
(Register 11-3). Setting a TRISA bit (= 1) will make the  
corresponding PORTA pin an input (i.e., disable the  
output driver). Clearing a TRISA bit (= 0) will make the  
corresponding PORTA pin an output (i.e., enables  
output driver and puts the contents of the output latch  
on the selected pin). The exception is RA3, which is  
input only and its TRIS bit will always read as ‘1’.  
Example 11-1 shows how to initialize an I/O port.  
Each PORTA pin is multiplexed with other functions. The  
pins, their combined functions and their output priorities  
are shown in Table 11-2.  
When multiple outputs are enabled, the actual pin  
control goes to the peripheral with the highest priority.  
Analog input functions, such as ADC and comparator  
inputs, are not shown in the priority lists. These inputs  
are active when the I/O pin is set for Analog mode using  
the ANSELx registers. Digital output functions may  
control the pin when it is in Analog mode with the  
priority shown below in Table 11-2.  
Reading the PORTA register (Register 11-2) reads the  
status of the pins, whereas writing to it will write to the  
PORT latch. All write operations are read-modify-write  
operations. Therefore, a write to a port implies that the  
port pins are read, this value is modified and then  
written to the PORT data latch (LATA).

Pin Name  
Function Priority(1)  
The TRISA register (Register 11-3) controls the  
PORTA pin output drivers, even when they are being  
used as analog inputs. The user should ensure the bits  
in the TRISA register are maintained set when using  
them as analog inputs. I/O pins configured as analog  
input always read ‘0’.

The ANSELA register (Register 11-5) is used to  
configure the Input mode of an I/O pin to analog.  
Setting the appropriate ANSELA bit high will cause all  
digital reads on the pin to be read as ‘0’ and allow  
analog functions on the pin to operate correctly.

The state of the ANSELA bits has no effect on digital  
output functions. A pin with TRIS clear and ANSEL set  
will still operate as a digital output, but the Input mode  
will be analog. This can cause unexpected behavior  
when executing read-modify-write instructions on the  
affected port.  
Note 1: Priority listed from highest to lowest.  
2: Default pin (see APFCON register).  
3: Alternate pin (see APFCON register).  
Note:  
The ANSELA bits default to the Analog  
mode after Reset. To use any pins as  
digital general purpose or peripheral  
inputs, the corresponding ANSEL bits  
must be initialized to ‘0’ by user software.

11.3 PORTB Registers  
PORTB is a 4-bit wide, bidirectional port. The  
corresponding data direction register is TRISB  
(Register 11-3). Setting a TRISB bit (= 1) will make the  
corresponding PORTB pin an input (i.e., disable the  
output driver). Clearing a TRISB bit (= 0) will make the  
corresponding PORTB pin an output (i.e., enables  
output driver and puts the contents of the output latch  
on the selected pin). Example 11-1 shows how to  
initialize an I/O port.  
Each PORTB pin is multiplexed with other functions. The  
pins, their combined functions and their output priorities  
are shown in Table 11-2.  
When multiple outputs are enabled, the actual pin  
control goes to the peripheral with the highest priority.  
Analog input functions, such as ADC and comparator

PORTC FUNCTIONS AND OUTPUT  
PRIORITIES  
11.4 PORTC Registers  
PORTC is a 8-bit wide, bidirectional port. The  
corresponding data direction register is TRISC  
(Register 11-13). Setting a TRISC bit (= 1) will make  
the corresponding PORTC pin an input (i.e., put the  
corresponding output driver in a High-Impedance  
mode). Clearing a TRISC bit (= 0) will make the  
corresponding PORTC pin an output (i.e., enable the  
output driver and put the contents of the output latch  
on the selected pin). Example 11-1 shows how to  
initialize an I/O port.  
Each PORTC pin is multiplexed with other functions. The  
pins, their combined functions and their output priorities  
are shown in Table 11-8.  
When multiple outputs are enabled, the actual pin  
control goes to the peripheral with the highest priority.  
Analog input and some digital input functions are not  
included in the output priority list. These input functions  
can remain active when the pin is configured as an  
output. Certain digital input functions override other  
port functions and are included in the output priority list.  
Reading the PORTC register (Register 11-12) reads the  
status of the pins, whereas writing to it will write to the  
PORT latch. All write operations are read-modify-write  
operations. Therefore, a write to a port implies that the  
port pins are read, this value is modified and then written  
to the PORT data latch (LATC).

The TRISC register (Register 11-13) controls the  
PORTC pin output drivers, even when they are being  
used as analog inputs. The user should ensure the bits in  
the TRISC register are maintained set when using them  
as analog inputs. I/O pins configured as analog input  
always read ‘0’.

ANSELC REGISTER  
The ANSELC register (Register 11-15) is used to  
configure the Input mode of an I/O pin to analog.  
Setting the appropriate ANSELC bit high will cause all  
digital reads on the pin to be read as ‘0’ and allow  
analog functions on the pin to operate correctly.

The state of the ANSELC bits has no effect on digital out-  
put functions. A pin with TRIS clear and ANSELC set will  
still operate as a digital output, but the Input mode will be  
analog. This can cause unexpected behavior when exe-  
cuting read-modify-write instructions on the affected  
port.

Note:  
The ANSELC bits default to the Analog  
mode after Reset. To use any pins as  
digital general purpose or peripheral  
inputs, the corresponding ANSEL bits  
must be initialized to ‘0’ by user software.

12.3 Interrupt Flags  
12.0 INTERRUPT-ON-CHANGE  
The IOCAFx and IOCBFx bits located in the IOCAF and  
IOCBF registers, respectively, are status flags that  
correspond to the interrupt-on-change pins of the  
associated port. If an expected edge is detected on an  
appropriately enabled pin, then the status flag for that pin  
will be set, and an interrupt will be generated if the IOCIE  
bit is set. The IOCIF bit of the INTCON register reflects  
the status of all IOCAFx and IOCBFx bits.  
The PORTA and PORTB pins can be configured to  
operate as Interrupt-On-Change (IOC) pins. An interrupt  
can be generated by detecting a signal that has either a  
rising edge or a falling edge. Any individual port pin, or  
combination of port pins, can be configured to generate  
an interrupt. The interrupt-on-change module has the  
following features:  
• Interrupt-on-Change enable (Master Switch)  
• Individual pin configuration  
12.4 Clearing Interrupt Flags  
• Rising and falling edge detection  
• Individual pin interrupt flags  
The individual status flags, (IOCAFx and IOCBFx bits),  
can be cleared by resetting them to zero. If another edge  
is detected during this clearing operation, the associated  
status flag will be set at the end of the sequence,  
regardless of the value actually being written.  
Figure 12-1 is a block diagram of the IOC module.  
12.1 Enabling the Module  
To allow individual port pins to generate an interrupt, the  
IOCIE bit of the INTCON register must be set. If the  
IOCIE bit is disabled, the edge detection on the pin will  
still occur, but an interrupt will not be generated.  
In order to ensure that no detected edge is lost while  
clearing flags, only AND operations masking out known  
changed bits should be performed. The following  
sequence is an example of what should be performed.  
EXAMPLE 12-1:  
CLEARING INTERRUPT  
FLAGS  
(PORTA EXAMPLE)  
12.2 Individual Pin Configuration  
For each port pin, a rising edge detector and a falling  
edge detector are present. To enable a pin to detect a  
rising edge, the associated bit of the IOCxP register is  
set. To enable a pin to detect a falling edge, the  
associated bit of the IOCxN register is set.  
MOVLW 0xff  
XORWF IOCAF, W  
ANDWF IOCAF, F  
A pin can be configured to detect rising and falling  
edges simultaneously by setting both associated bits of  
the IOCxP and IOCxN registers, respectively.  
12.5 Operation in Sleep  
The interrupt-on-change interrupt sequence will wake  
the device from Sleep mode, if the IOCIE bit is set.  
If an edge is detected while in Sleep mode, the IOCxF  
register will be updated prior to the first instruction  
executed out of Sleep.

The ADFVR<1:0> bits of the FVRCON register are  
used to enable and configure the gain amplifier settings  
for the reference supplied to the ADC module. Refer-  
ence Section 15.0 “Analog-to-Digital Converter  
(ADC) Module” for additional information.  
13.0 FIXED VOLTAGE REFERENCE  
(FVR)  
The Fixed Voltage Reference, or FVR, is a stable  
voltage reference, independent of VDD, with 1.024V,  
2.048V or 4.096V selectable output levels. The output  
of the FVR can be configured to supply a reference  
voltage to the following:  
The CDAFVR<1:0> bits of the FVRCON register are  
used to enable and configure the gain amplifier settings  
for the reference supplied to the comparator modules.  
Reference Section 17.0 “Comparator Module” for  
additional information.  
• ADC input channel  
• Comparator positive input  
• Comparator negative input  
13.2 FVR Stabilization Period  
The FVR can be enabled by setting the FVREN bit of  
the FVRCON register.  
When the Fixed Voltage Reference module is enabled, it  
requires time for the reference and amplifier circuits to  
stabilize. Once the circuits stabilize and are ready for use,  
the FVRRDY bit of the FVRCON register will be set. See  
Section 29.0 “Electrical Specifications” for the  
minimum delay requirement.  
13.1 Independent Gain Amplifier  
The output of the FVR supplied to the ADC and  
Comparators is routed through a programmable gain  
amplifier. Each amplifier can be programmed for a gain  
of 1x, 2x or 4x, to produce the three possible voltage  
levels.

TEMPERATURE CIRCUIT  
DIAGRAM  
14.0 TEMPERATURE INDICATOR  
MODULE  
This family of devices is equipped with a temperature  
circuit designed to measure the operating temperature  
of the silicon die. The circuit’s range of operating  
temperature falls between -40°C and +85°C. The  
output is a voltage that is proportional to the device  
temperature. The output of the temperature indicator is  
internally connected to the device ADC.  
VDD  
TSEN  
TSRNG  
The circuit may be used as a temperature threshold  
detector or a more accurate temperature indicator,  
depending on the level of calibration performed. A one-  
point calibration allows the circuit to indicate a  
temperature closely surrounding that point. A two-point  
calibration allows the circuit to sense the entire range  
of temperature more accurately. Reference Application  
Note AN1333, “Use and Calibration of the Internal  
Temperature Indicator” (DS01333) for more details  
regarding the calibration process.

14.1 Circuit Operation  
14.2 Minimum Operating VDD  
Figure 14-1 shows a simplified block diagram of the  
temperature circuit. The proportional voltage output is  
achieved by measuring the forward voltage drop across  
multiple silicon junctions.  
When the temperature circuit is operated in low range,  
the device may be operated at any operating voltage  
that is within specifications.  
When the temperature circuit is operated in high range,  
the device operating voltage, VDD, must be high  
enough to ensure that the temperature circuit is cor-  
rectly biased.  
Equation 14-1 describes the output characteristics of  
the temperature indicator.  
EQUATION 14-1: VOUT RANGES  
Table 14-1 shows the recommended minimum VDD vs.  
range setting.  
High Range: VOUT = VDD - 4VT  
Low Range: VOUT = VDD - 2VT  
TABLE 14-1: RECOMMENDED VDD VS.  
RANGE  
Min. VDD, TSRNG = 1  
Min. VDD, TSRNG = 0  
The temperature sense circuit is integrated with the  
Fixed Voltage Reference (FVR) module. See  
Section 13.0 “Fixed Voltage Reference (FVR)” for  
more information.  
3.6V  
1.8V  
14.3 Temperature Output  
The output of the circuit is measured using the internal  
Analog-to-Digital Converter. A channel is reserved for  
the temperature circuit output. Refer to Section 15.0  
“Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) Module” for  
detailed information.  
The circuit is enabled by setting the TSEN bit of the  
FVRCON register. When disabled, the circuit draws no  
current.  
The circuit operates in either high or low range. The high  
range, selected by setting the TSRNG bit of the  
FVRCON register, provides a wider output voltage. This  
provides more resolution over the temperature range,  
but may be less consistent from part to part. This range  
requires a higher bias voltage to operate and thus, a  
higher VDD is needed.  
14.4 ADC Acquisition Time  
To ensure accurate temperature measurements, the  
user must wait at least 200 s after the ADC input  
multiplexer is connected to the temperature indicator  
output before the conversion is performed. In addition,  
the user must wait 200 s between sequential  
conversions of the temperature indicator output.  
The low range is selected by clearing the TSRNG bit of  
the FVRCON register. The low range generates a lower  
voltage drop and thus, a lower bias voltage is needed to  
operate the circuit. The low range is provided for low  
voltage operation.

The ADC can generate an interrupt upon completion of  
a conversion. This interrupt can be used to wake-up the  
device from Sleep.  
15.0 ANALOG-TO-DIGITAL  
CONVERTER (ADC) MODULE  
The Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) allows  
conversion of an analog input signal to a 10-bit binary  
representation of that signal. This device uses analog  
inputs, which are multiplexed into a single sample and  
hold circuit. The output of the sample and hold is  
connected to the input of the converter. The converter  
generates a 10-bit binary result via successive  
approximation and stores the conversion result into the  
ADC result registers (ADRESH:ADRESL register pair).  
Figure 15-1 shows the block diagram of the ADC.  
The ADC voltage reference is software selectable to be  
either internally generated or externally supplied.

CONVERSION CLOCK  
15.1 ADC Configuration  
The source of the conversion clock is software select-  
able via the ADCS bits of the ADCON1 register. There  
are seven possible clock options:  
When configuring and using the ADC the following  
functions must be considered:  
• Port configuration  
• FOSC/2  
• Channel selection  
• FOSC/4  
• ADC voltage reference selection  
• ADC conversion clock source  
• Interrupt control  
• FOSC/8  
• FOSC/16  
• FOSC/32  
• Result formatting  
• FOSC/64  
15.1.1  
PORT CONFIGURATION  
• FRC (dedicated internal oscillator)  
The ADC can be used to convert both analog and  
digital signals. When converting analog signals, the I/O  
pin should be configured for analog by setting the  
associated TRIS and ANSEL bits. Refer to  
Section 11.0 “I/O Ports” for more information.  
The time to complete one bit conversion is defined as  
TAD. One full 10-bit conversion requires 11.5 TAD peri-  
ods as shown in Figure 15-2.  
For correct conversion, the appropriate TAD specifica-  
tion must be met. Refer to the A/D conversion require-  
ments in Section 29.0 “Electrical Specifications” for  
more information. Table 15-1 gives examples of appro-  
priate ADC clock selections.  
Note:  
Analog voltages on any pin that is defined  
as a digital input may cause the input buf-  
fer to conduct excess current.  
Note:  
Unless using the FRC, any changes in the  
system clock frequency will change the  
ADC clock frequency, which may  
adversely affect the ADC result.  
15.1.2  
CHANNEL SELECTION  
There are 15 channel selections available:  
• AN<11:0> pins  
Temperature Indicator  
• DAC  
• FVR (Fixed Voltage Reference) Output  
Refer to Section 13.0 “Fixed Voltage Reference (FVR)”  
and Section 14.0 “Temperature Indicator Module” for  
more information on these channel selections.  
The CHS bits of the ADCON0 register determine which  
channel is connected to the sample and hold circuit.  
When changing channels, a delay is required before  
starting the next conversion. Refer to Section 15.2  
“ADC Operation” for more information.  
15.1.3  
ADC VOLTAGE REFERENCE  
The ADPREF bits of the ADCON1 register provides  
control of the positive voltage reference. The positive  
voltage reference can be:  
• VREF+ pin  
• VDD  
See Section 13.0 “Fixed Voltage Reference (FVR)”  
for more details on the Fixed Voltage Reference.

Note 1: The FRC source has a typical TAD time of 1.6 s for VDD.  
2: These values violate the minimum required TAD time.  
3: For faster conversion times, the selection of another clock source is recommended.  
4: The ADC clock period (TAD) and total ADC conversion time can be minimized when the ADC clock is derived from the  
system clock FOSC. However, the FRC clock source must be used when conversions are to be performed with the  
device in Sleep mode.

INTERRUPTS  
15.1.6  
RESULT FORMATTING  
The ADC module allows for the ability to generate an  
interrupt upon completion of an Analog-to-Digital  
conversion. The ADC Interrupt Flag is the ADIF bit in  
the PIR1 register. The ADC Interrupt Enable is the  
ADIE bit in the PIE1 register. The ADIF bit must be  
cleared in software.  
The 10-bit A/D conversion result can be supplied in two  
formats, left justified or right justified. The ADFM bit of  
the ADCON1 register controls the output format.  
Figure 15-3 shows the two output formats.  
Note 1: The ADIF bit is set at the completion of  
every conversion, regardless of whether  
or not the ADC interrupt is enabled.  
2: The ADC operates during Sleep only  
when the FRC oscillator is selected.  
This interrupt can be generated while the device is  
operating or while in Sleep. If the device is in Sleep, the  
interrupt will wake-up the device. Upon waking from  
Sleep, the next instruction following the SLEEPinstruc-  
tion is always executed. If the user is attempting to  
wake-up from Sleep and resume in-line code execu-  
tion, the GIE and PEIE bits of the INTCON register  
must be disabled. If the GIE and PEIE bits of the  
INTCON register are enabled, execution will switch to  
the Interrupt Service Routine.

ADC OPERATION DURING SLEEP  
15.2 ADC Operation  
The ADC module can operate during Sleep. This  
requires the ADC clock source to be set to the FRC  
option. When the FRC clock source is selected, the  
ADC waits one additional instruction before starting the  
conversion. This allows the SLEEP instruction to be  
executed, which can reduce system noise during the  
conversion. If the ADC interrupt is enabled, the device  
will wake-up from Sleep when the conversion  
completes. If the ADC interrupt is disabled, the ADC  
module is turned off after the conversion completes,  
although the ADON bit remains set.  
15.2.1  
STARTING A CONVERSION  
To enable the ADC module, the ADON bit of the  
ADCON0 register must be set to a ‘1’. Setting the GO/  
DONE bit of the ADCON0 register to a ‘1’ will start the  
Analog-to-Digital conversion.  
Note:  
The GO/DONE bit should not be set in the  
same instruction that turns on the ADC.  
Refer to Section 15.2.6 “A/D Conver-  
sion Procedure”.  
When the ADC clock source is something other than  
FRC, a SLEEP instruction causes the present conver-  
sion to be aborted and the ADC module is turned off,  
although the ADON bit remains set.  
15.2.2  
COMPLETION OF A CONVERSION  
When the conversion is complete, the ADC module will:  
• Clear the GO/DONE bit  
• Set the ADIF Interrupt Flag bit  
15.2.5  
AUTO-CONVERSION TRIGGER  
• Update the ADRESH and ADRESL registers with  
new conversion result  
The auto-conversion trigger allows periodic ADC mea-  
surements without software intervention. When a rising  
edge of the selected source occurs, the GO/DONE bit  
is set by hardware.  
15.2.3  
TERMINATING A CONVERSION  
If a conversion must be terminated before completion,  
the GO/DONE bit can be cleared in software. The  
ADRESH and ADRESL registers will be updated with  
the partially complete Analog-to-Digital conversion  
sample. Incomplete bits will match the last bit  
converted.  
The auto-conversion trigger source is selected with the  
TRIGSEL<3:0> bits of the ADCON2 register.  
Using the auto-conversion trigger does not assure  
proper ADC timing. It is the user’s responsibility to  
ensure that the ADC timing requirements are met.  
Note:  
A device Reset forces all registers to their  
Reset state. Thus, the ADC module is  
turned off and any pending conversion is  
terminated.  
Auto-Conversion sources are:  
• TMR0  
• TMR1  
• TMR2  
• C1  
• C2  
• CLC1  
• CLC2  
• CLC3

source impedance is decreased, the acquisition time  
may be decreased. After the analog input channel is  
selected (or changed), an A/D acquisition must be  
done before the conversion can be started. To calculate  
the minimum acquisition time, Equation 15-1 may be  
used. This equation assumes that 1/2 LSb error is used  
(1,024 steps for the ADC). The 1/2 LSb error is the  
maximum error allowed for the ADC to meet its  
specified resolution.  
15.3 A/D Acquisition Requirements  
For the ADC to meet its specified accuracy, the charge  
holding capacitor (CHOLD) must be allowed to fully  
charge to the input channel voltage level. The Analog  
Input model is shown in Figure 15-4. The source  
impedance (RS) and the internal sampling switch (RSS)  
impedance directly affect the time required to charge  
the capacitor CHOLD. The sampling switch (RSS)  
impedance varies over the device voltage (VDD), refer  
to Figure 15-4. The maximum recommended  
impedance for analog sources is 10 k. As the  
EQUATION 15-1: ACQUISITION TIME EXAMPLE  
Temperature = 50°C and external impedance of 10k5.0V VDD  
Assumptions:  
TACQ = Amplifier Settling Time + Hold Capacitor Charging Time + Temperature Coefficient  
= TAMP + TC + TCOFF  
= 2µs + TC + Temperature - 25°C0.05µs/°C  
The value for TC can be approximated with the following equations:  
1
;[1] VCHOLD charged to within 1/2 lsb  
VAPPLIED1 -------------------------- = VCHOLD  
2n + 11  
TC

;combining [1] and [2]  
Tc  
--------  
RC  
1
= VAPPLIED1 --------------------------  
2n + 11  
VAPPLIED 1 e  
Note: Where n = number of bits of the ADC.  
Solving for TC:  
TC = CHOLDRIC + RSS + RSln(1/2047)  
= 12.5pF1k+ 7k+ 10kln(0.0004885)  
= 1.12µs  
Therefore:  
TACQ = 5µs + 1.12µs + 50°C- 25°C0.05µs/°C  
= 7.37µs  
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.

16.1 Output Voltage Selection  
16.0 DIGITAL-TO-ANALOG  
CONVERTER (DAC) MODULE  
The DAC has 32 voltage level ranges. The 32 levels  
are set with the DACR<4:0> bits of the DACCON1  
register.  
The Digital-to-Analog Converter supplies a variable  
voltage reference, ratiometric with the input source,  
with 32 selectable output levels.  
The DAC output voltage is determined by the following  
equations:  
The input of the DAC can be connected to:  
• External VREF+ pin  
• VDD supply voltage  
The output of the DAC can be configured to supply a  
reference voltage to the following:  
• Comparator positive input  
• ADC input channel  
• DACOUT1 pin  
• DACOUT2 pin  
The Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) can be enabled  
by setting the DACEN bit of the DACCON0 register.

16.2 Ratiometric Output Level  
16.3 DAC Voltage Reference Output  
The DAC output value is derived using a resistor ladder  
with each end of the ladder tied to a positive and  
negative voltage reference input source. If the voltage  
of either input source fluctuates, a similar fluctuation will  
result in the DAC output value.  
The DAC voltage can be output to the DACOUT1 and  
DACOUT2 pins by setting the respective DACOE1 and  
DACOE2 pins of the DACCON0 register. Selecting the  
DAC reference voltage for output on either DACOUTx  
pin automatically overrides the digital output buffer and  
digital input threshold detector functions of that pin.  
Reading the DACOUTx pin when it has been config-  
ured for DAC reference voltage output will always  
return a ‘0’.  
The value of the individual resistors within the ladder  
can be found in Section 29.0 “Electrical  
Specifications”.  
Due to the limited current drive capability, a buffer must  
be used on the DAC voltage reference output for  
external connections to either DACOUTx pin.  
Figure 16-2 shows an example buffering technique.

SINGLE COMPARATOR  
17.0 COMPARATOR MODULE  
Comparators are used to interface analog circuits to a  
digital circuit by comparing two analog voltages and  
providing a digital indication of their relative magnitudes.  
Comparators are very useful mixed signal building  
blocks because they provide analog functionality  
independent of program execution. The analog  
comparator module includes the following features:

Comparator Overview  
A single comparator is shown in Figure 17-1 along with  
the relationship between the analog input levels and  
the digital output. When the analog voltage at VIN+ is  
less than the analog voltage at VIN-, the output of the  
comparator is a digital low level. When the analog  
voltage at VIN+ is greater than the analog voltage at  
VIN-, the output of the comparator is a digital high level.

COMPARATOR OUTPUT POLARITY  
17.2 Comparator Control  
Inverting the output of the comparator is functionally  
equivalent to swapping the comparator inputs. The  
polarity of the comparator output can be inverted by  
setting the CxPOL bit of the CMxCON0 register.  
Clearing the CxPOL bit results in a non-inverted output.  
Each comparator has 2 control registers: CMxCON0 and  
CMxCON1.  
The CMxCON0 registers (see Register 17-1) contain  
Control and Status bits for the following:  
• Enable

COMPARATOR SPEED/POWER  
SELECTION  
17.2.1  
COMPARATOR ENABLE  
The trade-off between speed or power can be opti-  
mized during program execution with the CxSP control  
bit. The default state for this bit is ‘1’ which selects the  
normal speed mode. Device power consumption can  
be optimized at the cost of slower comparator propaga-  
tion delay by clearing the CxSP bit to ‘0’.  
Setting the CxON bit of the CMxCON0 register enables  
the comparator for operation. Clearing the CxON bit  
disables the comparator resulting in minimum current  
consumption.  
17.2.2  
COMPARATOR OUTPUT  
SELECTION  
The output of the comparator can be monitored by  
reading either the CxOUT bit of the CMxCON0 register  
or the MCxOUT bit of the CMOUT register. In order to  
make the output available for an external connection,  
the following conditions must be true:  
• CxOE bit of the CMxCON0 register must be set  
• Corresponding TRIS bit must be cleared  
• CxON bit of the CMxCON0 register must be set  
Note 1: The CxOE bit of the CMxCON0 register  
overrides the PORT data latch. Setting  
the CxON bit of the CMxCON0 register  
has no impact on the port override.  
2: The internal output of the comparator is  
latched with each instruction cycle.  
Unless otherwise specified, external  
outputs are not latched.

17.3 Comparator Hysteresis  
17.5 Comparator Interrupt  
A selectable amount of separation voltage can be  
added to the input pins of each comparator to provide a  
hysteresis function to the overall operation. Hysteresis  
is enabled by setting the CxHYS bit of the CMxCON0  
register.  
An interrupt can be generated upon a change in the  
output value of the comparator for each comparator, a  
rising edge detector and a falling edge detector are  
present.  
When either edge detector is triggered and its associ-  
ated enable bit is set (CxINTP and/or CxINTN bits of  
the CMxCON1 register), the Corresponding Interrupt  
Flag bit (CxIF bit of the PIR2 register) will be set.  
See Section 29.0 “Electrical Specifications” for  
more information.  
17.4 Timer1 Gate Operation  
To enable the interrupt, you must set the following bits:  
• CxON, CxPOL and CxSP bits of the CMxCON0  
register  
The output resulting from a comparator operation can  
be used as a source for gate control of Timer1. See  
Section 19.5 “Timer1 Gate” for more information.  
This feature is useful for timing the duration or interval  
of an analog event.  
• CxIE bit of the PIE2 register  
• CxINTP bit of the CMxCON1 register (for a rising  
edge detection)  
It is recommended that the comparator output be syn-  
chronized to Timer1. This ensures that Timer1 does not  
increment while a change in the comparator is occur-  
ring.  
• CxINTN bit of the CMxCON1 register (for a falling  
edge detection)  
• PEIE and GIE bits of the INTCON register  
The associated interrupt flag bit, CxIF bit of the PIR2  
register, must be cleared in software. If another edge is  
detected while this flag is being cleared, the flag will still  
be set at the end of the sequence.  
17.4.1  
COMPARATOR OUTPUT  
SYNCHRONIZATION  
The output from either comparator, C1 or C2, can be  
synchronized with Timer1 by setting the CxSYNC bit of  
the CMxCON0 register.  
Note:  
Although a comparator is disabled, an  
interrupt can be generated by changing  
the output polarity with the CxPOL bit of  
the CMxCON0 register, or by switching  
the comparator on or off with the CxON bit  
of the CMxCON0 register.  
Once enabled, the comparator output is latched on the  
falling edge of the Timer1 source clock. If a prescaler is  
used with Timer1, the comparator output is latched after  
the prescaling function. To prevent a race condition, the  
comparator output is latched on the falling edge of the  
Timer1 clock source and Timer1 increments on the  
rising edge of its clock source. See the Comparator  
Block Diagram (Figure 17-2) and the Timer1 Block  
Diagram (Figure 19-1) for more information.  
17.6 Comparator Positive Input  
Selection  
Configuring the CxPCH<1:0> bits of the CMxCON1  
register directs an internal voltage reference or an  
analog pin to the non-inverting input of the comparator:  
• CxIN+ analog pin  
• DAC  
• FVR (Fixed Voltage Reference)  
• VSS (Ground)  
See Section 13.0 “Fixed Voltage Reference (FVR)”

module.  
See Section 16.0 “Digital-to-Analog Converter  
(DAC) Module” for more information on the DAC input  
signal.

17.7 Comparator Negative Input  
Selection  
17.10 Analog Input Connection  
Considerations  
The CxNCH<2:0> bits of the CMxCON0 register direct  
one of the input sources to the comparator inverting  
input.  
A simplified circuit for an analog input is shown in  
Figure 17-3. Since the analog input pins share their  
connection with a digital input, they have reverse  
biased ESD protection diodes to VDD and VSS. The  
analog input, therefore, must be between VSS and VDD.  
If the input voltage deviates from this range by more  
than 0.6V in either direction, one of the diodes is for-  
ward biased and a latch-up may occur.  
Note:  
To use CxIN+ and CxINx- pins as analog  
input, the appropriate bits must be set in  
the ANSEL register and the correspond-  
ing TRIS bits must also be set to disable  
the output drivers.  
A maximum source impedance of 10 kis recommended  
for the analog sources. Also, any external component  
connected to an analog input pin, such as a capacitor or  
a Zener diode, should have very little leakage current to  
minimize inaccuracies introduced.  
17.8 Comparator Response Time  
The comparator output is indeterminate for a period of  
time after the change of an input source or the selection  
of a new reference voltage. This period is referred to as  
the response time. The response time of the comparator  
differs from the settling time of the voltage reference.  
Therefore, both of these times must be considered when  
determining the total response time to a comparator  
input change. See the Comparator and Voltage Refer-  
ence Specifications in Section 29.0 “Electrical Specifi-  
cations” for more details.  
Note 1: When reading a PORT register, all pins  
configured as analog inputs will read as a  
0’. Pins configured as digital inputs will  
convert as an analog input, according to  
the input specification.  
2: Analog levels on any pin defined as a  
digital input, may cause the input buffer to  
consume more current than is specified.  
17.9 Interaction with ECCP Logic  
The C1 and C2 comparators can be used as general  
purpose comparators. Their outputs can be brought  
out to the C1OUT and C2OUT pins. When the ECCP  
Auto-Shutdown is active it can use one or both  
comparator signals. If auto-restart is also enabled, the  
comparators can be configured as a closed loop  
analog feedback to the ECCP, thereby, creating an  
analog controlled PWM.  
Note:  
When the comparator module is first  
initialized the output state is unknown.  
Upon initialization, the user should verify  
the output state of the comparator prior to  
relying on the result, primarily when using  
the result in connection with other  
peripheral features, such as the ECCP  
Auto-Shutdown mode.

8-BIT COUNTER MODE  
18.0 TIMER0 MODULE  
In 8-Bit Counter mode, the Timer0 module will increment  
on every rising or falling edge of the T0CKI pin.  
The Timer0 module is an 8-bit timer/counter with the  
following features:  
8-Bit Counter mode using the T0CKI pin is selected by  
setting the TMR0CS bit in the OPTION_REG register to  
1’.  
• 8-bit timer/counter register (TMR0)  
• 8-bit prescaler (independent of Watchdog Timer)  
• Programmable internal or external clock source  
• Programmable external clock edge selection  
• Interrupt on overflow  
The rising or falling transition of the incrementing edge  
for either input source is determined by the TMR0SE bit  
in the OPTION_REG register.  
• TMR0 can be used to gate Timer1  
Figure 18-1 is a block diagram of the Timer0 module.  
18.1 Timer0 Operation  
The Timer0 module can be used as either an 8-bit timer  
or an 8-bit counter.  
18.1.1  
8-BIT TIMER MODE  
The Timer0 module will increment every instruction  
cycle, if used without a prescaler. 8-Bit Timer mode is  
selected by clearing the TMR0CS bit of the  
OPTION_REG register.  
When TMR0 is written, the increment is inhibited for  
two instruction cycles immediately following the write.  
Note:  
The value written to the TMR0 register  
can be adjusted, in order to account for  
the two instruction cycle delay when  
TMR0 is written.

18.1.3  
SOFTWARE PROGRAMMABLE  
PRESCALER  
A software programmable prescaler is available for  
exclusive use with Timer0. The prescaler is enabled by  
clearing the PSA bit of the OPTION_REG register.  
Note:  
The Watchdog Timer (WDT) uses its own  
independent prescaler.  
There are 8 prescaler options for the Timer0 module  
ranging from 1:2 to 1:256. The prescale values are  
selectable via the PS<2:0> bits of the OPTION_REG  
register. In order to have a 1:1 prescaler value for the  
Timer0 module, the prescaler must be disabled by set-  
ting the PSA bit of the OPTION_REG register.  
The prescaler is not readable or writable. All instructions  
writing to the TMR0 register will clear the prescaler.  
18.1.4  
TIMER0 INTERRUPT  
Timer0 will generate an interrupt when the TMR0  
register overflows from FFh to 00h. The TMR0IF  
interrupt flag bit of the INTCON register is set every  
time the TMR0 register overflows, regardless of  
whether or not the Timer0 interrupt is enabled. The  
TMR0IF bit can only be cleared in software. The Timer0  
interrupt enable is the TMR0IE bit of the INTCON  
register.  
Note:  
The Timer0 interrupt cannot wake the  
processor from Sleep since the timer is  
frozen during Sleep.  
18.1.5  
8-BIT COUNTER MODE  
SYNCHRONIZATION  
When in 8-Bit Counter mode, the incrementing edge on  
the T0CKI pin must be synchronized to the instruction  
clock. Synchronization can be accomplished by  
sampling the prescaler output on the Q2 and Q4 cycles  
of the instruction clock. The high and low periods of the  
external clocking source must meet the timing  
requirements as shown in Section 29.0 “Electrical  
Specifications”.  
18.1.6  
OPERATION DURING SLEEP  
Timer0 cannot operate while the processor is in Sleep  
mode. The contents of the TMR0 register will remain  
unchanged while the processor is in Sleep mode.

19.1 Timer1 Operation  
19.2 Clock Source Selection  
The Timer1 module is a 16-bit incrementing counter  
which is accessed through the TMR1H:TMR1L register  
pair. Writes to TMR1H or TMR1L directly update the  
counter.  
The TMR1CS<1:0> bits of the T1CON register are used  
to select the clock source for Timer1. Table 19-2  
displays the clock source selections.  
19.2.1  
INTERNAL CLOCK SOURCE  
When used with an internal clock source, the module is  
a timer and increments on every instruction cycle.  
When used with an external clock source, the module  
can be used as either a timer or counter and incre-  
ments on every selected edge of the external source.  
When the internal clock source is selected the  
TMR1H:TMR1L register pair will increment on multiples  
of FOSC as determined by the Timer1 prescaler.  
When the FOSC internal clock source is selected, the  
Timer1 register value will increment by four counts every  
instruction clock cycle. Due to this condition, a 2 LSB  
error in resolution will occur when reading the Timer1  
value. To utilize the full resolution of Timer1, an  
asynchronous input signal must be used to gate the  
Timer1 clock input.  
Timer1 is enabled by configuring the TMR1ON and  
TMR1GE bits in the T1CON and T1GCON registers,  
respectively. Table 19-1 displays the Timer1 enable  
selections.

When the external clock source is selected, the Timer1

When enabled to count, Timer1 is incremented on the  
rising edge of the external clock input T1CKI. The  
external clock source can be synchronized to the  
microcontroller system clock or it can run  
asynchronously.  
Count Enabled  
Note:  
In Counter mode, a falling edge must be  
registered by the counter prior to the first  
incrementing rising edge after any one or  
more of the following conditions:  
• Timer1 enabled after POR  
• Write to TMR1H or TMR1L  
• Timer1 is disabled  
• Timer1 is disabled (TMR1ON = 0)  
when T1CKI is high then Timer1 is  
enabled (TMR1ON=1) when T1CKI is  
low.

Timer1 has four prescaler options allowing 1, 2, 4 or 8  
divisions of the clock input. The T1CKPS bits of the  
T1CON register control the prescale counter. The  
prescale counter is not directly readable or writable;  
however, the prescaler counter is cleared upon a write to  
TMR1H or TMR1L.

If control bit T1SYNC of the T1CON register is set, the  
external clock input is not synchronized. The timer  
increments asynchronously to the internal phase  
clocks. If the external clock source is selected then the  
timer will continue to run during Sleep and can  
generate an interrupt on overflow, which will wake-up  
the processor. However, special precautions in  
software are needed to read/write the timer (see  
Section 19.4.1 “Reading and Writing Timer1 in  
Asynchronous Counter Mode”).

TIMER1 GATE SOURCE  
SELECTION  
Timer1 gate source selections are shown in Table 19-4.  
Source selection is controlled by the T1GSS<1:0> bits  
of the T1GCON register. The polarity for each available  
source is also selectable. Polarity selection is controlled  
by the T1GPOL bit of the T1GCON register.  
Note:  
When switching from synchronous to  
asynchronous operation, it is possible to  
skip an increment. When switching from  
asynchronous to synchronous operation,  
it is possible to produce an additional  
increment.

Comparator 1 Output SYNCC1OUT  
(optionally synchronized comparator output)  
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.  
Comparator 2 Output SYNCC2OUT  
(optionally synchronized comparator output)  
For writes, it is recommended that the user simply stop  
the timer and write the desired values. A write  
contention may occur by writing to the timer registers,  
while the register is incrementing. This may produce an  
unpredictable value in the TMR1H:TMR1L register pair.  
19.5 Timer1 Gate  
Timer1 can be configured to count freely or the count  
can be enabled and disabled using Timer1 gate  
circuitry. This is also referred to as Timer1 Gate Enable.  
Timer1 gate can also be driven by multiple selectable  
sources.  
19.5.1  
TIMER1 GATE ENABLE  
The Timer1 Gate Enable mode is enabled by setting  
the TMR1GE bit of the T1GCON register. The polarity  
of the Timer1 Gate Enable mode is configured using  
the T1GPOL bit of the T1GCON register.

T1G Pin Gate Operation  
19.5.5  
TIMER1 GATE VALUE STATUS  
The T1G pin is one source for Timer1 Gate Control. It  
can be used to supply an external source to the Timer1  
gate circuitry.  
When Timer1 Gate Value Status is utilized, it is possible  
to read the most current level of the gate control value.  
The value is stored in the T1GVAL bit in the T1GCON  
register. The T1GVAL bit is valid even when the Timer1  
gate is not enabled (TMR1GE bit is cleared).  
19.5.2.2  
Timer0 Overflow Gate Operation  
When Timer0 increments from FFh to 00h, a low-to-  
high pulse will automatically be generated and inter-  
nally supplied to the Timer1 gate circuitry.  
19.5.6  
TIMER1 GATE EVENT INTERRUPT  
When Timer1 Gate Event Interrupt is enabled, it is pos-  
sible to generate an interrupt upon the completion of a  
gate event. When the falling edge of T1GVAL occurs,  
the TMR1GIF flag bit in the PIR1 register will be set. If  
the TMR1GIE bit in the PIE1 register is set, then an  
interrupt will be recognized.  
19.5.3  
TIMER1 GATE TOGGLE MODE  
When Timer1 Gate Toggle mode is enabled, it is possi-  
ble to measure the full-cycle length of a Timer1 gate  
signal, as opposed to the duration of a single level  
pulse.  
The TMR1GIF flag bit operates even when the Timer1  
gate is not enabled (TMR1GE bit is cleared).  
The Timer1 gate source is routed through a flip-flop that  
changes state on every incrementing edge of the sig-  
nal. See Figure 19-4 for timing details.  
Timer1 Gate Toggle mode is enabled by setting the  
T1GTM bit of the T1GCON register. When the T1GTM  
bit is cleared, the flip-flop is cleared and held clear. This  
is necessary in order to control which edge is  
measured.  
Note:  
Enabling Toggle mode at the same time  
as changing the gate polarity may result in  
indeterminate operation.  
19.5.4  
TIMER1 GATE SINGLE-PULSE  
MODE  
When Timer1 Gate Single-Pulse mode is enabled, it is  
possible to capture a single pulse gate event. Timer1  
Gate Single-Pulse mode is first enabled by setting the  
T1GSPM bit in the T1GCON register. Next, the T1GGO/  
DONE bit in the T1GCON register must be set. The  
Timer1 will be fully enabled on the next incrementing  
edge. On the next trailing edge of the pulse, the T1GGO/  
DONE bit will automatically be cleared. No other gate  
events will be allowed to increment Timer1 until the  
T1GGO/DONE bit is once again set in software. See  
Figure 19-5 for timing details.  
If the Single Pulse Gate mode is disabled by clearing the  
T1GSPM bit in the T1GCON register, the T1GGO/DONE  
bit should also be cleared.  
Enabling the Toggle mode and the Single-Pulse mode  
simultaneously will permit both sections to work  
together. This allows the cycle times on the Timer1 gate  
source to be measured. See Figure 19-6 for timing  
details.

ALTERNATE PIN LOCATIONS  
19.6 Timer1 Interrupt  
This module incorporates I/O pins that can be moved to  
other locations with the use of the alternate pin function  
register, APFCON. To determine which pins can be  
moved and what their default locations are upon a  
Reset, see Section 11.1 “Alternate Pin Function” for  
more information.  
The Timer1 register pair (TMR1H:TMR1L) increments  
to FFFFh and rolls over to 0000h. When Timer1 rolls  
over, the Timer1 interrupt flag bit of the PIR1 register is  
set. To enable the interrupt on rollover, you must set  
these bits:  
• TMR1ON bit of the T1CON register  
• TMR1IE bit of the PIE1 register  
• PEIE bit of the INTCON register  
• GIE bit of the INTCON register  
The interrupt is cleared by clearing the TMR1IF bit in  
the Interrupt Service Routine.  
Note:  
The TMR1H:TMR1L register pair and the  
TMR1IF bit should be cleared before  
enabling interrupts.  
19.7 Timer1 Operation During Sleep  
Timer1 can only operate during Sleep when setup in  
Asynchronous Counter mode. In this mode, an external  
crystal or clock source can be used to increment the  
counter. To set up the timer to wake the device:  
• TMR1ON bit of the T1CON register must be set  
• TMR1IE bit of the PIE1 register must be set  
• PEIE bit of the INTCON register must be set  
• T1SYNC bit of the T1CON register must be set  
• TMR1CS bits of the T1CON register must be  
configured  
The device will wake-up on an overflow and execute  
the next instructions. If the GIE bit of the INTCON  
register is set, the device will call the Interrupt Service  
Routine.  
Timer1 oscillator will continue to operate in Sleep  
regardless of the T1SYNC bit setting.

20.0 TIMER2 MODULE  
The Timer2 module incorporates the following features:  
• 8-bit Timer and Period registers (TMR2 and PR2,  
respectively)  
• Readable and writable (both registers)  
• Software programmable prescaler (1:1, 1:4, 1:16,  
and 1:64)  
• Software programmable postscaler (1:1 to 1:16)  
• Interrupt on TMR2 match with PR2, respectively  
See Figure 20-1 for a block diagram of Timer2.

20.1 Timer2 Operation  
20.3 Timer2 Output  
The clock input to the Timer2 module is the system  
instruction clock (FOSC/4).  
The unscaled output of TMR2 is available primarily to  
the PWMx module, where it is used as a time base for  
operation.  
TMR2 increments from 00h on each clock edge.  
A 4-bit counter/prescaler on the clock input allows direct  
input, divide-by-4 and divide-by-16 prescale options.  
These options are selected by the prescaler control bits,  
T2CKPS<1:0> of the T2CON register. The value of  
TMR2 is compared to that of the Period register, PR2, on  
each clock cycle. When the two values match, the  
comparator generates a match signal as the timer  
output. This signal also resets the value of TMR2 to 00h  
on the next cycle and drives the output counter/  
postscaler (see Section 20.2 “Timer2 Interrupt”).  
20.4 Timer2 Operation During Sleep  
Timer2 cannot be operated while the processor is in  
Sleep mode. The contents of the TMR2 and PR2  
registers will remain unchanged while the processor is  
in Sleep mode.  
The TMR2 and PR2 registers are both directly readable  
and writable. The TMR2 register is cleared on any  
device Reset, whereas the PR2 register initializes to  
FFh. Both the prescaler and postscaler counters are  
cleared on the following events:  
• a write to the TMR2 register  
• a write to the T2CON register  
• Power-on Reset (POR)  
• Brown-out Reset (BOR)  
• MCLR Reset  
• Watchdog Timer (WDT) Reset  
• Stack Overflow Reset  
• Stack Underflow Reset  
RESETInstruction  
Note:  
TMR2 is not cleared when T2CON is  
written.  
20.2 Timer2 Interrupt  
Timer2 can also generate an optional device interrupt.  
The Timer2 output signal (TMR2-to-PR2 match)  
provides the input for the 4-bit counter/postscaler. This  
counter generates the TMR2 match interrupt flag which  
is latched in TMR2IF of the PIR1 register. The interrupt  
is enabled by setting the TMR2 Match Interrupt Enable  
bit, TMR2IE of the PIE1 register.  
A range of 16 postscale options (from 1:1 through 1:16  
inclusive) can be selected with the postscaler control  
bits, T2OUTPS<3:0>, of the T2CON register.

21.0 MASTER SYNCHRONOUS  
SERIAL PORT MODULE  
21.1 Master SSP (MSSP) Module  
Overview  
The Master Synchronous Serial Port (MSSPx) module  
is a serial interface useful for communicating with other  
peripheral or microcontroller devices. These peripheral  
devices may be serial EEPROMs, shift registers, dis-  
play drivers, A/D converters, etc. The MSSPx module  
can operate in one of two modes:  
• Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI)  
• Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C™)  
The SPI interface supports the following modes and  
features:  
• Master mode  
• Slave mode  
• Clock Parity

The I2C interface supports the following modes and  
features:  
The PIC16F1508/9 has one MSSP module.  
• Master mode  
Note 1: In devices with more than one MSSP  
module, it is very important to pay close  
attention to SSPxCONx register names.  
SSPxCON1 and SSPxCON2 registers  
control different operational aspects of  
the same module, while SSPxCON1 and  
SSP2CON1 control the same features for  
two different modules.  
• Slave mode  
• Byte NACKing (Slave mode)  
• Limited Multi-master support  
• 7-bit and 10-bit addressing  
• Start and Stop interrupts  
• Interrupt masking  
• Clock stretching  
2: Throughout this section, generic refer-  
ences to an MSSPx module in any of its  
operating modes may be interpreted as  
being equally applicable to MSSPx or  
MSSP2. Register names, module I/O sig-  
nals, and bit names may use the generic  
designator ‘x’ to indicate the use of a  
numeral to distinguish a particular module  
when required.

During each SPI clock cycle, a full-duplex data  
transmission occurs. This means that while the master  
device is sending out the MSb from its shift register (on  
its SDOx pin) and the slave device is reading this bit  
and saving it as the LSb of its shift register, that the  
slave device is also sending out the MSb from its shift  
register (on its SDOx pin) and the master device is  
reading this bit and saving it as the LSb of its shift  
register.  
21.2 SPI Mode Overview  
The Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) bus is a  
synchronous serial data communication bus that  
operates in Full-Duplex mode. Devices communicate  
in a master/slave environment where the master device  
initiates the communication.  
A slave device is  
controlled through a Chip Select known as Slave  
Select.  
The SPI bus specifies four signal connections:  
After 8 bits have been shifted out, the master and slave  
have exchanged register values.  
• Serial Clock (SCKx)  
• Serial Data Out (SDOx)  
• Serial Data In (SDIx)  
• Slave Select (SSx)  
If there is more data to exchange, the shift registers are  
loaded with new data and the process repeats itself.  
Whether the data is meaningful or not (dummy data),  
depends on the application software. This leads to  
three scenarios for data transmission:  
Figure 21-1 shows the block diagram of the MSSP  
module when operating in SPI mode.  
• Master sends useful data and slave sends dummy  
data.  
The SPI bus operates with a single master device and  
one or more slave devices. When multiple slave  
devices are used, an independent Slave Select con-  
nection is required from the master device to each  
slave device.  
• Master sends useful data and slave sends useful  
data.  
• Master sends dummy data and slave sends useful  
data.  
Figure 21-4 shows a typical connection between a  
master device and multiple slave devices.  
Transmissions may involve any number of clock  
cycles. When there is no more data to be transmitted,  
the master stops sending the clock signal and it dese-  
lects the slave.  
The master selects only one slave at a time. Most slave  
devices have tri-state outputs so their output signal  
appears disconnected from the bus when they are not  
selected.  
Every slave device connected to the bus that has not  
been selected through its slave select line must disre-  
gard the clock and transmission signals and must not  
transmit out any data of its own.  
Transmissions involve two shift registers, eight bits in  
size, one in the master and one in the slave. With either  
the master or the slave device, data is always shifted  
out one bit at a time, with the Most Significant bit (MSb)  
shifted out first. At the same time, a new Least  
Significant bit (LSb) is shifted into the same register.  
Figure 21-5 shows a typical connection between two  
processors configured as master and slave devices.  
Data is shifted out of both shift registers on the pro-  
grammed clock edge and latched on the opposite edge  
of the clock.  
The master device transmits information out on its  
SDOx output pin which is connected to, and received  
by, the slave’s SDIx input pin. The slave device trans-  
mits information out on its SDOx output pin, which is  
connected to, and received by, the master’s SDIx input  
pin.  
To begin communication, the master device first sends  
out the clock signal. Both the master and the slave  
devices should be configured for the same clock polar-  
ity.  
The master device starts a transmission by sending out  
the MSb from its shift register. The slave device reads  
this bit from that same line and saves it into the LSb  
position of its shift register.

21.2.1 SPI MODE REGISTERS  
The MSSP module has five registers for SPI mode  
operation. These are:  
• MSSP STATUS register (SSPxSTAT)  
• MSSP Control Register 1 (SSPxCON1)  
• MSSP Control Register 3 (SSPxCON3)  
• MSSP Data Buffer register (SSPxBUF)  
• MSSP Address register (SSPxADD)  
• MSSP Shift register (SSPxSR)  
(Not directly accessible)  
SSPxCON1 and SSPxSTAT are the control and  
STATUS registers in SPI mode operation. The  
SSPxCON1 register is readable and writable. The  
lower 6 bits of the SSPxSTAT are read-only. The  
upper two bits of the SSPxSTAT are read/write.  
In SPI master mode, SSPxADD can be loaded with a  
value used in the Baud Rate Generator. More informa-  
tion on the Baud Rate Generator is available in  
Section 21.7 “Baud Rate Generator”.  
SSPxSR is the shift register used for shifting data in  
and out. SSPxBUF provides indirect access to the  
SSPxSR register. SSPxBUF is the buffer register to  
which data bytes are written, and from which data  
bytes are read.  
In receive operations, SSPxSR and SSPxBUF  
together create a buffered receiver. When SSPxSR  
receives a complete byte, it is transferred to SSPxBUF  
and the SSPxIF interrupt is set.  
During transmission, the SSPxBUF is not buffered. A  
write to SSPxBUF will write to both SSPxBUF and  
SSPxSR.

21.2.2 SPI MODE OPERATION  
The MSSP consists of a transmit/receive shift register  
(SSPxSR) and a buffer register (SSPxBUF). The  
SSPxSR shifts the data in and out of the device, MSb  
first. The SSPxBUF holds the data that was written to  
the SSPxSR until the received data is ready. Once the  
8 bits of data have been received, that byte is moved to  
the SSPxBUF register. Then, the Buffer Full Detect bit,  
BF of the SSPxSTAT register, and the interrupt flag bit,  
SSPxIF, are set. This double-buffering of the received  
data (SSPxBUF) allows the next byte to start reception  
before reading the data that was just received. Any  
When initializing the SPI, several options need to be  
specified. This is done by programming the appropriate  
control bits (SSPxCON1<5:0> and SSPxSTAT<7:6>).  
These control bits allow the following to be specified:  
• Master mode (SCKx is the clock output)  
• Slave mode (SCKx is the clock input)  
• Clock Polarity (Idle state of SCKx)  
• Data Input Sample Phase (middle or end of data  
output time)  
write  
to  
the  
SSPxBUF  
register  
during  
• Clock Edge (output data on rising/falling edge of  
SCKx)  
transmission/reception of data will be ignored and the  
write collision detect bit, WCOL of the SSPxCON1  
register, will be set. User software must clear the  
WCOL bit to allow the following write(s) to the  
SSPxBUF register to complete successfully.  
• Clock Rate (Master mode only)  
• Slave Select mode (Slave mode only)  
To enable the serial port, SSP Enable bit, SSPEN of the  
SSPxCON1 register, must be set. To reset or reconfig-  
ure SPI mode, clear the SSPEN bit, re-initialize the  
SSPxCONx registers and then set the SSPEN bit. This  
configures the SDI, SDO, SCK and SS pins as serial  
port pins. For the pins to behave as the serial port func-  
tion, some must have their data direction bits (in the  
TRIS register) appropriately programmed as follows:  
When the application software is expecting to receive  
valid data, the SSPxBUF should be read before the  
next byte of data to transfer is written to the SSPxBUF.  
The Buffer Full bit, BF of the SSPxSTAT register,  
indicates when SSPxBUF has been loaded with the  
received data (transmission is complete). When the  
SSPxBUF is read, the BF bit is cleared. This data may  
be irrelevant if the SPI is only a transmitter. Generally,  
the MSSP interrupt is used to determine when the  
transmission/reception has completed. If the interrupt  
method is not going to be used, then software polling  
can be done to ensure that a write collision does not  
occur.  
• SDIx must have corresponding TRIS bit set  
• SDOx must have corresponding TRIS bit cleared  
• SCKx (Master mode) must have corresponding  
TRIS bit cleared  
• SCKx (Slave mode) must have corresponding  
TRIS bit set  
The SSPxSR is not directly readable or writable and  
can only be accessed by addressing the SSPxBUF  
register. Additionally, the SSPxSTAT register indicates  
the various Status conditions.  
• SSx must have corresponding TRIS bit set  
Any serial port function that is not desired may be  
overridden by programming the corresponding data  
direction (TRIS) register to the opposite value.

The clock polarity is selected by appropriately  
programming the CKP bit of the SSPxCON1 register  
and the CKE bit of the SSPxSTAT register. This then,  
would give waveforms for SPI communication as  
shown in Figure 21-6, Figure 21-9 and Figure 21-10,  
where the MSb is transmitted first. In Master mode, the  
SPI clock rate (bit rate) is user programmable to be one  
of the following:  
21.2.3  
SPI MASTER MODE  
The master can initiate the data transfer at any time  
because it controls the SCKx line. The master  
determines when the slave (Processor 2, Figure 21-5)  
is to broadcast data by the software protocol.  
In Master mode, the data is transmitted/received as  
soon as the SSPxBUF register is written to. If the SPI  
is only going to receive, the SDOx output could be dis-  
abled (programmed as an input). The SSPxSR register  
will continue to shift in the signal present on the SDIx  
pin at the programmed clock rate. As each byte is  
received, it will be loaded into the SSPxBUF register as  
if a normal received byte (interrupts and Status bits  
appropriately set).

• FOSC/16 (or 4 * TCY)  
• FOSC/64 (or 16 * TCY)

Figure 21-6 shows the waveforms for Master mode.  
When the CKE bit is set, the SDOx data is valid before  
there is a clock edge on SCKx. The change of the input  
sample is shown based on the state of the SMP bit. The  
time when the SSPxBUF is loaded with the received  
data is shown.

SPI SLAVE MODE  
21.2.5  
SLAVE SELECT  
SYNCHRONIZATION  
In Slave mode, the data is transmitted and received as  
external clock pulses appear on SCKx. When the last  
bit is latched, the SSPxIF interrupt flag bit is set.  
The Slave Select can also be used to synchronize com-  
munication. The Slave Select line is held high until the  
master device is ready to communicate. When the  
Slave Select line is pulled low, the slave knows that a  
new transmission is starting.  
Before enabling the module in SPI Slave mode, the clock  
line must match the proper Idle state. The clock line can  
be observed by reading the SCKx pin. The Idle state is  
determined by the CKP bit of the SSPxCON1 register.  
If the slave fails to receive the communication properly,  
it will be reset at the end of the transmission, when the  
Slave Select line returns to a high state. The slave is  
then ready to receive a new transmission when the  
Slave Select line is pulled low again. If the Slave Select  
line is not used, there is a risk that the slave will even-  
tually become out of sync with the master. If the slave  
misses a bit, it will always be one bit off in future trans-  
missions. Use of the Slave Select line allows the slave  
and master to align themselves at the beginning of  
each transmission.  
While in Slave mode, the external clock is supplied by  
the external clock source on the SCKx pin. This exter-  
nal clock must meet the minimum high and low times  
as specified in the electrical specifications.  
While in Sleep mode, the slave can transmit/receive  
data. The shift register is clocked from the SCKx pin  
input and when a byte is received, the device will gen-  
erate an interrupt. If enabled, the device will wake-up  
from Sleep.  
21.2.4.1 Daisy-Chain Configuration  
The SSx pin allows a Synchronous Slave mode. The  
SPI must be in Slave mode with SSx pin control  
enabled (SSPxCON1<3:0> = 0100).  
The SPI bus can sometimes be connected in a  
daisy-chain configuration. The first slave output is con-  
nected to the second slave input, the second slave  
output is connected to the third slave input, and so on.  
The final slave output is connected to the master input.  
Each slave sends out, during a second group of clock  
pulses, an exact copy of what was received during the  
first group of clock pulses. The whole chain acts as  
one large communication shift register. The  
daisy-chain feature only requires a single Slave Select  
line from the master device.  
When the SSx pin is low, transmission and reception  
are enabled and the SDOx pin is driven.  
When the SSx pin goes high, the SDOx pin is no longer  
driven, even if in the middle of a transmitted byte and  
becomes a floating output. External pull-up/pull-down  
resistors may be desirable depending on the applica-  
tion.  
Note 1: When the SPI is in Slave mode with SSx  
pin control enabled (SSPxCON1<3:0> =  
0100), the SPI module will reset if the SSx  
pin is set to VDD.  
Figure 21-7 shows the block diagram of a typical  
daisy-chain connection when operating in SPI mode.  
In a daisy-chain configuration, only the most recent  
byte on the bus is required by the slave. Setting the  
BOEN bit of the SSPxCON3 register will enable writes  
to the SSPxBUF register, even if the previous byte has  
not been read. This allows the software to ignore data  
that may not apply to it.  
2: When the SPI is used in Slave mode with  
CKE set; the user must enable SSx pin  
control.  
3: While operated in SPI Slave mode the  
SMP bit of the SSPxSTAT register must  
remain clear.  
When the SPI module resets, the bit counter is forced  
to ‘0’. This can be done by either forcing the SSx pin to  
a high level or clearing the SSPEN bit.

21.2.6 SPI OPERATION IN SLEEP MODE  
In SPI Master mode, module clocks may be operating  
at a different speed than when in Full-Power mode; in  
the case of the Sleep mode, all clocks are halted.  
Special care must be taken by the user when the MSSP  
clock is much faster than the system clock.  
In Slave mode, when MSSP interrupts are enabled,  
after the master completes sending data, an MSSP  
interrupt will wake the controller from Sleep.  
If an exit from Sleep mode is not desired, MSSP inter-  
rupts should be disabled.  
In SPI Master mode, when the Sleep mode is selected,  
all module clocks are halted and the transmis-  
sion/reception will remain in that state until the device  
wakes. After the device returns to Run mode, the mod-  
ule will resume transmitting and receiving data.  
In SPI Slave mode, the SPI Transmit/Receive Shift  
register operates asynchronously to the device. This  
allows the device to be placed in Sleep mode and data  
to be shifted into the SPI Transmit/Receive Shift  
register. When all 8 bits have been received, the MSSP  
interrupt flag bit will be set and if enabled, will wake the  
device.

Figure 21-2 and Figure 21-3 show the block diagrams  
of the MSSP module when operating in I2C mode.  
Both the SCLx and SDAx connections are bidirectional  
open-drain lines, each requiring pull-up resistors for the  
supply voltage. Pulling the line to ground is considered  
a logical zero and letting the line float is considered a  
logical one.  
The Acknowledge bit (ACK) is an active-low signal,  
which holds the SDAx line low to indicate to the trans-  
mitter that the slave device has received the transmit-  
ted data and is ready to receive more.  
Figure 21-11 shows a typical connection between two  
processors configured as master and slave devices.  
The I2C bus can operate with one or more master  
devices and one or more slave devices.  
The transition of a data bits is always performed while  
the SCLx line is held low. Transitions that occur while  
the SCLx line is held high are used to indicate Start and  
Stop bits.  
If the master intends to write to the slave, then it repeat-  
edly sends out a byte of data, with the slave responding  
after each byte with an ACK bit. In this example, the  
master device is in Master Transmit mode and the  
slave is in Slave Receive mode.  
There are four potential modes of operation for a given  
device:  
• Master Transmit mode  
(master is transmitting data to a slave)  
• Master Receive mode  
If the master intends to read from the slave, then it  
repeatedly receives a byte of data from the slave, and  
responds after each byte with an ACK bit. In this exam-  
ple, the master device is in Master Receive mode and  
the slave is Slave Transmit mode.  
(master is receiving data from a slave)  
• Slave Transmit mode  
(slave is transmitting data to a master)  
• Slave Receive mode  
(slave is receiving data from the master)  
On the last byte of data communicated, the master  
device may end the transmission by sending a Stop bit.  
If the master device is in Receive mode, it sends the  
Stop bit in place of the last ACK bit. A Stop bit is indi-  
cated by a low-to-high transition of the SDAx line while  
the SCLx line is held high.  
To begin communication, a master device starts out in  
Master Transmit mode. The master device sends out a  
Start bit followed by the address byte of the slave it  
intends to communicate with. This is followed by a sin-  
gle Read/Write bit, which determines whether the mas-  
ter intends to transmit to or receive data from the slave  
device.  
In some cases, the master may want to maintain con-  
trol of the bus and re-initiate another transmission. If  
so, the master device may send another Start bit in  
place of the Stop bit or last ACK bit when it is in receive  
mode.  
If the requested slave exists on the bus, it will respond  
with an Acknowledge bit, otherwise known as an ACK.  
The master then continues in either Transmit mode or  
Receive mode and the slave continues in the comple-  
ment, either in Receive mode or Transmit mode,  
respectively.  
The I2C bus specifies three message protocols;  
• Single message where a master writes data to a  
slave.  
A Start bit is indicated by a high-to-low transition of the  
SDAx line while the SCLx line is held high. Address and  
data bytes are sent out, Most Significant bit (MSb) first.  
The Read/Write bit is sent out as a logical one when the  
master intends to read data from the slave, and is sent  
out as a logical zero when it intends to write data to the  
slave.  
• Single message where a master reads data from  
a slave.  
• Combined message where a master initiates a  
minimum of two writes, or two reads, or a  
combination of writes and reads, to one or more  
slaves.

When one device is transmitting a logical one, or letting  
the line float, and a second device is transmitting a log-  
ical zero, or holding the line low, the first device can  
detect that the line is not a logical one. This detection,  
when used on the SCLx line, is called clock stretching.  
Clock stretching gives slave devices a mechanism to  
control the flow of data. When this detection is used on  
the SDAx line, it is called arbitration. Arbitration  
ensures that there is only one master device communi-  
cating at any single time.  
21.3.2  
ARBITRATION  
Each master device must monitor the bus for Start and  
Stop bits. If the device detects that the bus is busy, it  
cannot begin a new message until the bus returns to an  
Idle state.  
However, two master devices may try to initiate a trans-  
mission on or about the same time. When this occurs,  
the process of arbitration begins. Each transmitter  
checks the level of the SDAx data line and compares it  
to the level that it expects to find. The first transmitter to  
observe that the two levels do not match, loses arbitra-  
tion, and must stop transmitting on the SDAx line.  
21.3.1  
CLOCK STRETCHING  
When a slave device has not completed processing  
data, it can delay the transfer of more data through the  
process of clock stretching. An addressed slave device  
may hold the SCLx clock line low after receiving or  
sending a bit, indicating that it is not yet ready to con-  
tinue. The master that is communicating with the slave  
will attempt to raise the SCLx line in order to transfer  
the next bit, but will detect that the clock line has not yet  
been released. Because the SCLx connection is  
open-drain, the slave has the ability to hold that line low  
until it is ready to continue communicating.  
For example, if one transmitter holds the SDAx line to  
a logical one (lets it float) and a second transmitter  
holds it to a logical zero (pulls it low), the result is that  
the SDAx line will be low. The first transmitter then  
observes that the level of the line is different than  
expected and concludes that another transmitter is  
communicating.  
The first transmitter to notice this difference is the one  
that loses arbitration and must stop driving the SDAx  
line. If this transmitter is also a master device, it also  
must stop driving the SCLx line. It then can monitor the  
lines for a Stop condition before trying to reissue its  
transmission. In the meantime, the other device that  
has not noticed any difference between the expected  
and actual levels on the SDAx line continues with its  
original transmission. It can do so without any compli-  
cations, because so far, the transmission appears  
exactly as expected with no other transmitter disturbing  
the message.  
Clock stretching allows receivers that cannot keep up  
with a transmitter to control the flow of incoming data.  
Slave Transmit mode can also be arbitrated, when a  
master addresses multiple slaves, but this is less com-  
mon.  
If two master devices are sending a message to two dif-  
ferent slave devices at the address stage, the master  
sending the lower slave address always wins arbitra-  
tion. When two master devices send messages to the  
same slave address, and addresses can sometimes  
refer to multiple slaves, the arbitration process must  
continue into the data stage.  
Arbitration usually occurs very rarely, but it is a neces-  
sary process for proper multi-master support.

TABLE 21-2: I C BUS TERMS  
21.4 I C MODE OPERATION  
TERM  
Description  
All MSSP I2C communication is byte oriented and  
shifted out MSb first. Six SFR registers and 2 interrupt  
flags interface the module with the PIC® microcon-  
troller and user software. Two pins, SDAx and SCLx,  
are exercised by the module to communicate with  
other external I2C devices.  
Transmitter  
The device which shifts data out  
onto the bus.  
Receiver  
Master  
The device which shifts data in  
from the bus.  
The device that initiates a transfer,  
generates clock signals and termi-  
nates a transfer.  
21.4.1 BYTE FORMAT  
All communication in I2C is done in 9-bit segments. A  
byte is sent from a master to a slave or vice-versa, fol-  
lowed by an Acknowledge bit sent back. After the 8th  
falling edge of the SCLx line, the device outputting  
data on the SDAx changes that pin to an input and  
reads in an acknowledge value on the next clock  
pulse.  
Slave  
The device addressed by the mas-  
ter.  
Multi-master  
Arbitration  
A bus with more than one device  
that can initiate data transfers.  
Procedure to ensure that only one  
master at a time controls the bus.  
Winning arbitration ensures that  
the message is not corrupted.  
The clock signal, SCLx, is provided by the master.  
Data is valid to change while the SCLx signal is low,  
and sampled on the rising edge of the clock. Changes  
on the SDAx line while the SCLx line is high define  
special conditions on the bus, explained below.  
Synchronization Procedure to synchronize the  
clocks of two or more devices on  
the bus.  
Idle  
No master is controlling the bus,  
and both SDAx and SCLx lines are  
high.  
21.4.2 DEFINITION OF I2C TERMINOLOGY  
There is language and terminology in the description  
of I2C communication that have definitions specific to  
I2C. That word usage is defined below and may be  
used in the rest of this document without explanation.  
This table was adapted from the Philips I2C  
specification.  
Active  
Any time one or more master  
devices are controlling the bus.  
Addressed  
Slave  
Slave device that has received a  
matching address and is actively  
being clocked by a master.  
Matching  
Address  
Address byte that is clocked into a  
slave that matches the value  
stored in SSPxADD.  
21.4.3 SDAX AND SCLX PINS  
Selection of any I2C mode with the SSPEN bit set,  
forces the SCLx and SDAx pins to be open-drain.  
These pins should be set by the user to inputs by set-  
ting the appropriate TRIS bits.  
Write Request  
Read Request  
Slave receives a matching  
address with R/W bit clear, and is  
ready to clock in data.  
Master sends an address byte with  
the R/W bit set, indicating that it  
wishes to clock data out of the  
Slave. This data is the next and all  
following bytes until a Restart or  
Stop.  
Note: Data is tied to output zero when an I2C  
mode is enabled.  
21.4.4 SDAX HOLD TIME  
The hold time of the SDAx pin is selected by the  
SDAHT bit of the SSPxCON3 register. Hold time is the  
time SDAx is held valid after the falling edge of SCLx.  
Setting the SDAHT bit selects a longer 300 ns mini-  
mum hold time and may help on buses with large  
capacitance.  
Clock Stretching When a device on the bus hold  
SCLx low to stall communication.  
Bus Collision  
Any time the SDAx line is sampled  
low by the module while it is out-  
putting and expected high state.

21.4.5 START CONDITION  
21.4.7 RESTART CONDITION  
The I2C specification defines a Start condition as a  
transition of SDAx from a high to a low state while  
SCLx line is high. A Start condition is always gener-  
ated by the master and signifies the transition of the  
bus from an Idle to an Active state. Figure 21-12  
shows wave forms for Start and Stop conditions.  
A Restart is valid any time that a Stop would be valid.  
A master can issue a Restart if it wishes to hold the  
bus after terminating the current transfer. A Restart  
has the same effect on the slave that a Start would,  
resetting all slave logic and preparing it to clock in an  
address. The master may want to address the same or  
another slave.  
A bus collision can occur on a Start condition if the  
module samples the SDAx line low before asserting it  
low. This does not conform to the I2C Specification that  
states no bus collision can occur on a Start.  
In 10-bit Addressing Slave mode a Restart is required  
for the master to clock data out of the addressed  
slave. Once a slave has been fully addressed, match-  
ing both high and low address bytes, the master can  
issue a Restart and the high address byte with the  
R/W bit set. The slave logic will then hold the clock  
and prepare to clock out data.  
21.4.6 STOP CONDITION  
A Stop condition is a transition of the SDAx line from  
low-to-high state while the SCLx line is high.  
After a full match with R/W clear in 10-bit mode, a prior  
match flag is set and maintained. Until a Stop condi-  
tion, a high address with R/W clear, or high address  
match fails.  
Note: At least one SCLx low time must appear  
before a Stop is valid, therefore, if the SDAx  
line goes low then high again while the SCLx  
line stays high, only the Start condition is  
detected.  
21.4.8 START/STOP CONDITION INTERRUPT  
MASKING  
The SCIE and PCIE bits of the SSPxCON3 register  
can enable the generation of an interrupt in Slave  
modes that do not typically support this function. Slave  
modes where interrupt on Start and Stop detect are  
already enabled, these bits will have no effect.

21.4.9 ACKNOWLEDGE SEQUENCE  
21.5.1.1 I2C Slave 7-bit Addressing Mode  
The 9th SCLx pulse for any transferred byte in I2C is  
dedicated as an Acknowledge. It allows receiving  
devices to respond back to the transmitter by pulling  
the SDAx line low. The transmitter must release con-  
trol of the line during this time to shift in the response.  
The Acknowledge (ACK) is an active-low signal, pull-  
ing the SDAx line low indicated to the transmitter that  
the device has received the transmitted data and is  
ready to receive more.  
In 7-bit Addressing mode, the LSb of the received data  
byte is ignored when determining if there is an address  
match.  
21.5.1.2 I2C Slave 10-bit Addressing Mode  
In 10-bit Addressing mode, the first received byte is  
compared to the binary value of ‘1 1 1 1 0 A9 A8 0’. A9  
and A8 are the two MSb of the 10-bit address and  
stored in bits 2 and 1 of the SSPxADD register.  
The result of an ACK is placed in the ACKSTAT bit of  
the SSPxCON2 register.  
After the acknowledge of the high byte the UA bit is set  
and SCLx is held low until the user updates SSPxADD  
with the low address. The low address byte is clocked  
in and all 8 bits are compared to the low address value  
in SSPxADD. Even if there is not an address match;  
SSPxIF and UA are set, and SCLx is held low until  
SSPxADD is updated to receive a high byte again.  
When SSPxADD is updated the UA bit is cleared. This  
ensures the module is ready to receive the high  
address byte on the next communication.  
Slave software, when the AHEN and DHEN bits are  
set, allow the user to set the ACK value sent back to  
the transmitter. The ACKDT bit of the SSPxCON2 reg-  
ister is set/cleared to determine the response.  
Slave hardware will generate an ACK response if the  
AHEN and DHEN bits of the SSPxCON3 register are  
clear.  
There are certain conditions where an ACK will not be  
sent by the slave. If the BF bit of the SSPxSTAT regis-  
ter or the SSPOV bit of the SSPxCON1 register are  
set when a byte is received.  
A high and low address match as a write request is  
required at the start of all 10-bit addressing communi-  
cation. A transmission can be initiated by issuing a  
Restart once the slave is addressed, and clocking in  
the high address with the R/W bit set. The slave hard-  
ware will then acknowledge the read request and pre-  
pare to clock out data. This is only valid for a slave  
after it has received a complete high and low address  
byte match.  
When the module is addressed, after the 8th falling  
edge of SCLx on the bus, the ACKTIM bit of the  
SSPxCON3 register is set. The ACKTIM bit indicates  
the acknowledge time of the active bus. The ACKTIM  
Status bit is only active when the AHEN bit or DHEN  
bit is enabled.  
21.5.2 SLAVE RECEPTION  
2
21.5 I C Slave Mode Operation  
When the R/W bit of a matching received address byte  
is clear, the R/W bit of the SSPxSTAT register is  
cleared. The received address is loaded into the  
SSPxBUF register and acknowledged.  
The MSSP Slave mode operates in one of four modes  
selected in the SSPM bits of SSPxCON1 register. The  
modes can be divided into 7-bit and 10-bit Addressing  
mode. 10-bit Addressing modes operate the same as  
7-bit with some additional overhead for handling the  
larger addresses.  
When the overflow condition exists for a received  
address, then not Acknowledge is given. An overflow  
condition is defined as either bit BF of the SSPxSTAT  
register is set, or bit SSPOV of the SSPxCON1 register  
is set. The BOEN bit of the SSPxCON3 register modi-  
fies this operation. For more information see  
Register 21-4.  
Modes with Start and Stop bit interrupts operate the  
same as the other modes with SSPxIF additionally  
getting set upon detection of a Start, Restart, or Stop  
condition.  
An MSSP interrupt is generated for each transferred  
data byte. Flag bit, SSPxIF, must be cleared by soft-  
ware.  
21.5.1 SLAVE MODE ADDRESSES  
The SSPxADD register (Register 21-6) contains the  
Slave mode address. The first byte received after a  
Start or Restart condition is compared against the  
value stored in this register. If the byte matches the  
value is loaded into the SSPxBUF register and an  
interrupt is generated. If the value does not match, the  
module goes idle and no indication is given to the soft-  
ware that anything happened.  
When the SEN bit of the SSPxCON2 register is set,  
SCLx will be held low (clock stretch) following each  
received byte. The clock must be released by setting  
the CKP bit of the SSPxCON1 register, except  
sometimes in 10-bit mode. See Section 21.2.3 “SPI  
Master Mode” for more detail.  
The SSP Mask register (Register 21-5) affects the  
address matching process. See Section 21.5.9  
“SSPx Mask Register” for more information.

21.5.2.1 7-bit Addressing Reception  
21.5.2.2 7-bit Reception with AHEN and DHEN  
This section describes a standard sequence of events  
for the MSSP module configured as an I2C Slave in  
7-bit Addressing mode. Figure 21-14 and Figure 21-15  
are used as visual references for this description.  
Slave device reception with AHEN and DHEN set  
operate the same as without these options with extra  
interrupts and clock stretching added after the 8th fall-  
ing edge of SCLx. These additional interrupts allow the  
slave software to decide whether it wants to ACK the  
receive address or data byte, rather than the hard-  
ware. This functionality adds support for PMBus™ that  
was not present on previous versions of this module.  
This is a step by step process of what typically must  
be done to accomplish I2C communication.  
1. Start bit detected.  
2. S bit of SSPxSTAT is set; SSPxIF is set if inter-  
rupt on Start detect is enabled.  
This list describes the steps that need to be taken by  
slave software to use these options for I2C commun-  
cation. Figure 21-16 displays a module using both  
address and data holding. Figure 21-17 includes the  
operation with the SEN bit of the SSPxCON2 register  
set.  
3. Matching address with R/W bit clear is received.  
4. The slave pulls SDAx low sending an ACK to the  
master, and sets SSPxIF bit.  
5. Software clears the SSPxIF bit.  
6. Software reads received address from  
SSPxBUF clearing the BF flag.

release the SCLx line.  
8. The master clocks out a data byte.  
3. Slave clears the SSPxIF.  
9. Slave drives SDAx low sending an ACK to the  
master, and sets SSPxIF bit.  
4. Slave can look at the ACKTIM bit of the  
SSPxCON3 register to determine if the SSPxIF  
was after or before the ACK.  
10. Software clears SSPxIF.  
11. Software reads the received byte from  
SSPxBUF clearing BF.  
5. Slave reads the address value from SSPxBUF,  
clearing the BF flag.  
12. Steps 8-12 are repeated for all received bytes  
from the Master.  
6. Slave sets ACK value clocked out to the master  
by setting ACKDT.  
13. Master sends Stop condition, setting P bit of  
SSPxSTAT, and the bus goes idle.  
7. Slave releases the clock by setting CKP.  
8. SSPxIF is set after an ACK, not after a NACK.  
9. If SEN = 1 the slave hardware will stretch the  
clock after the ACK.  
10. Slave clears SSPxIF.  
Note: SSPxIF is still set after the 9th falling edge of  
SCLx even if there is no clock stretching and  
BF has been cleared. Only if NACK is sent  
to master is SSPxIF not set  
11. SSPxIF set and CKP cleared after 8th falling  
edge of SCLx for a received data byte.  
12. Slave looks at ACKTIM bit of SSPxCON3 to  
determine the source of the interrupt.  
13. Slave reads the received data from SSPxBUF  
clearing BF.  
14. Steps 7-14 are the same for each received data  
byte.  
15. Communication is ended by either the slave  
sending an ACK = 1, or the master sending a  
Stop condition. If a Stop is sent and Interrupt on  
Stop Detect is disabled, the slave will only know  
by polling the P bit of the SSPSTAT register.

SLAVE TRANSMISSION  
21.5.3.2  
7-bit Transmission  
When the R/W bit of the incoming address byte is set  
and an address match occurs, the R/W bit of the  
SSPxSTAT register is set. The received address is  
loaded into the SSPxBUF register, and an ACK pulse is  
sent by the slave on the ninth bit.  
A master device can transmit a read request to a  
slave, and then clock data out of the slave. The list  
below outlines what software for a slave will need to  
do to accomplish  
a
standard transmission.  
Figure 21-17 can be used as a reference to this list.  
Following the ACK, slave hardware clears the CKP bit  
and the SCLx pin is held low (see Section 21.5.6  
“Clock Stretching” for more detail). By stretching the  
clock, the master will be unable to assert another clock  
pulse until the slave is done preparing the transmit  
data.  
1. Master sends a Start condition on SDAx and  
SCLx.  
2. S bit of SSPxSTAT is set; SSPxIF is set if inter-  
rupt on Start detect is enabled.  
3. Matching address with R/W bit set is received by  
the Slave setting SSPxIF bit.  
The transmit data must be loaded into the SSPxBUF  
register which also loads the SSPxSR register. Then  
the SCLx pin should be released by setting the CKP bit  
of the SSPxCON1 register. The eight data bits are  
shifted out on the falling edge of the SCLx input. This  
ensures that the SDAx signal is valid during the SCLx  
high time.  
4. Slave hardware generates an ACK and sets  
SSPxIF.  
5. SSPxIF bit is cleared by user.  
6. Software reads the received address from  
SSPxBUF, clearing BF.  
7. R/W is set so CKP was automatically cleared  
after the ACK.  
The ACK pulse from the master-receiver is latched on  
the rising edge of the ninth SCLx input pulse. This ACK  
value is copied to the ACKSTAT bit of the SSPxCON2  
register. If ACKSTAT is set (not ACK), then the data  
transfer is complete. In this case, when the not ACK is  
latched by the slave, the slave goes idle and waits for  
another occurrence of the Start bit. If the SDAx line was  
low (ACK), the next transmit data must be loaded into  
the SSPxBUF register. Again, the SCLx pin must be  
released by setting bit CKP.  
8. The slave software loads the transmit data into  
SSPxBUF.  
9. CKP bit is set releasing SCLx, allowing the mas-  
ter to clock the data out of the slave.  
10. SSPxIF is set after the ACK response from the  
master is loaded into the ACKSTAT register.  
11. SSPxIF bit is cleared.  
12. The slave software checks the ACKSTAT bit to  
see if the master wants to clock out more data.  
An MSSP interrupt is generated for each data transfer  
byte. The SSPxIF bit must be cleared by software and  
the SSPxSTAT register is used to determine the status  
of the byte. The SSPxIF bit is set on the falling edge of  
the ninth clock pulse.  
Note 1: If the master ACKs the clock will be  
stretched.  
2: ACKSTAT is the only bit updated on the  
rising edge of SCLx (9th) rather than the  
falling.  
21.5.3.1  
Slave Mode Bus Collision  
13. Steps 9-13 are repeated for each transmitted  
byte.  
A slave receives a Read request and begins shifting  
data out on the SDAx line. If a bus collision is detected  
and the SBCDE bit of the SSPxCON3 register is set,  
the BCLxIF bit of the PIRx register is set. Once a bus  
collision is detected, the slave goes idle and waits to be  
addressed again. User software can use the BCLxIF bit  
to handle a slave bus collision.  
14. If the master sends a not ACK; the clock is not  
held, but SSPxIF is still set.  
15. The master sends a Restart condition or a Stop.  
16. The slave is no longer addressed.

7-bit Transmission with Address  
Hold Enabled  
Setting the AHEN bit of the SSPxCON3 register  
enables additional clock stretching and interrupt gen-  
eration after the 8th falling edge of a received match-  
ing address. Once a matching address has been  
clocked in, CKP is cleared and the SSPxIF interrupt is  
set.  
Figure 21-18 displays a standard waveform of a 7-bit  
Address Slave Transmission with AHEN enabled.  
1. Bus starts idle.  
2. Master sends Start condition; the S bit of  
SSPxSTAT is set; SSPxIF is set if interrupt on  
Start detect is enabled.  
3. Master sends matching address with R/W bit  
set. After the 8th falling edge of the SCLx line the  
CKP bit is cleared and SSPxIF interrupt is gen-  
erated.  
4. Slave software clears SSPxIF.  
5. Slave software reads ACKTIM bit of SSPxCON3  
register, and R/W and D/A of the SSPxSTAT  
register to determine the source of the interrupt.  
6. Slave reads the address value from the  
SSPxBUF register clearing the BF bit.  
7. Slave software decides from this information if it  
wishes to ACK or not ACK and sets the ACKDT  
bit of the SSPxCON2 register accordingly.  
8. Slave sets the CKP bit releasing SCLx.  
9. Master clocks in the ACK value from the slave.  
10. Slave hardware automatically clears the CKP bit  
and sets SSPxIF after the ACK if the R/W bit is  
set.  
11. Slave software clears SSPxIF.  
12. Slave loads value to transmit to the master into  
SSPxBUF setting the BF bit.  
Note: SSPxBUF cannot be loaded until after the  
ACK.  
13. Slave sets CKP bit releasing the clock.  
14. Master clocks out the data from the slave and  
sends an ACK value on the 9th SCLx pulse.  
15. Slave hardware copies the ACK value into the  
ACKSTAT bit of the SSPxCON2 register.  
16. Steps 10-15 are repeated for each byte transmit-  
ted to the master from the slave.  
17. If the master sends a not ACK the slave  
releases the bus allowing the master to send a  
Stop and end the communication.  
Note: Master must send a not ACK on the last byte  
to ensure that the slave releases the SCLx  
line to receive a Stop.

21.5.4 SLAVE MODE 10-BIT ADDRESS  
RECEPTION  
21.5.5 10-BIT ADDRESSING WITH ADDRESS OR  
DATA HOLD  
This section describes a standard sequence of events  
for the MSSP module configured as an I2C slave in  
10-bit Addressing mode.  
Reception using 10-bit addressing with AHEN or  
DHEN set is the same as with 7-bit modes. The only  
difference is the need to update the SSPxADD register  
using the UA bit. All functionality, specifically when the  
CKP bit is cleared and SCLx line is held low are the  
same. Figure 21-20 can be used as a reference of a  
slave in 10-bit addressing with AHEN set.  
Figure 21-19 and is used as a visual reference for this  
description.  
This is a step by step process of what must be done by  
slave software to accomplish I2C communication.  
Figure 21-21 shows a standard waveform for a slave  
transmitter in 10-bit Addressing mode.  
1. Bus starts idle.  
2. Master sends Start condition; S bit of SSPxSTAT  
is set; SSPxIF is set if interrupt on Start detect is  
enabled.  
3. Master sends matching high address with R/W  
bit clear; UA bit of the SSPxSTAT register is set.  
4. Slave sends ACK and SSPxIF is set.  
5. Software clears the SSPxIF bit.  
6. Software reads received address from  
SSPxBUF clearing the BF flag.  
7. Slave loads low address into SSPxADD,  
releasing SCLx.  
8. Master sends matching low address byte to the  
Slave; UA bit is set.  
Note: Updates to the SSPxADD register are not  
allowed until after the ACK sequence.  
9. Slave sends ACK and SSPxIF is set.  
Note: If the low address does not match, SSPxIF  
and UA are still set so that the slave soft-  
ware can set SSPxADD back to the high  
address. BF is not set because there is no  
match. CKP is unaffected.  
10. Slave clears SSPxIF.  
11. Slave reads the received matching address  
from SSPxBUF clearing BF.  
12. Slave loads high address into SSPxADD.  
13. Master clocks a data byte to the slave and  
clocks out the slaves ACK on the 9th SCLx  
pulse; SSPxIF is set.  
14. If SEN bit of SSPxCON2 is set, CKP is cleared  
by hardware and the clock is stretched.  
15. Slave clears SSPxIF.  
16. Slave reads the received byte from SSPxBUF  
clearing BF.  
17. If SEN is set the slave sets CKP to release the  
SCLx.  
18. Steps 13-17 repeat for each received byte.  
19. Master sends Stop to end the transmission.

21.5.6 CLOCK STRETCHING  
21.5.6.2 10-bit Addressing Mode  
Clock stretching occurs when a device on the bus  
holds the SCLx line low, effectively pausing communi-  
cation. The slave may stretch the clock to allow more  
time to handle data or prepare a response for the mas-  
ter device. A master device is not concerned with  
stretching as anytime it is active on the bus and not  
transferring data it is stretching. Any stretching done  
by a slave is invisible to the master software and han-  
dled by the hardware that generates SCLx.  
In 10-bit Addressing mode, when the UA bit is set, the  
clock is always stretched. This is the only time the  
SCLx is stretched without CKP being cleared. SCLx is  
released immediately after a write to SSPxADD.  
Note: Previous versions of the module did not  
stretch the clock if the second address byte  
did not match.  
21.5.6.3 Byte NACKing  
The CKP bit of the SSPxCON1 register is used to con-  
trol stretching in software. Any time the CKP bit is  
cleared, the module will wait for the SCLx line to go  
low and then hold it. Setting CKP will release SCLx  
and allow more communication.  
When the AHEN bit of SSPxCON3 is set; CKP is  
cleared by hardware after the 8th falling edge of SCLx  
for a received matching address byte. When the  
DHEN bit of SSPxCON3 is set, CKP is cleared after  
the 8th falling edge of SCLx for received data.  
21.5.6.1 Normal Clock Stretching  
Stretching after the 8th falling edge of SCLx allows the  
slave to look at the received address or data and  
decide if it wants to ACK the received data.  
Following an ACK if the R/W bit of SSPxSTAT is set, a  
read request, the slave hardware will clear CKP. This  
allows the slave time to update SSPxBUF with data to  
transfer to the master. If the SEN bit of SSPxCON2 is  
set, the slave hardware will always stretch the clock  
after the ACK sequence. Once the slave is ready, CKP  
is set by software and communication resumes.  
21.5.7 CLOCK SYNCHRONIZATION AND  
THE CKP BIT  
Any time the CKP bit is cleared, the module will wait  
for the SCLx line to go low and then hold it. However,  
clearing the CKP bit will not assert the SCLx output  
low until the SCLx output is already sampled low.  
Therefore, the CKP bit will not assert the SCLx line  
until an external I2C master device has already  
asserted the SCLx line. The SCLx output will remain  
low until the CKP bit is set and all other devices on the  
I2C bus have released SCLx. This ensures that a write  
to the CKP bit will not violate the minimum high time  
requirement for SCLx (see Figure 21-22).  
Note 1: The BF bit has no effect on if the clock will  
be stretched or not. This is different than  
previous versions of the module that  
would not stretch the clock, clear CKP, if  
SSPxBUF was read before the 9th falling  
edge of SCLx.  
2: Previous versions of the module did not  
stretch the clock for a transmission if  
SSPxBUF was loaded before the 9th fall-  
ing edge of SCLx. It is now always cleared  
for read requests.

21.5.8 GENERAL CALL ADDRESS SUPPORT  
In 10-bit Address mode, the UA bit will not be set on  
the reception of the general call address. The slave  
will prepare to receive the second byte as data, just as  
it would in 7-bit mode.  
The addressing procedure for the I2C bus is such that  
the first byte after the Start condition usually deter-  
mines which device will be the slave addressed by the  
master device. The exception is the general call  
address which can address all devices. When this  
address is used, all devices should, in theory, respond  
with an acknowledge.  
If the AHEN bit of the SSPxCON3 register is set, just  
as with any other address reception, the slave hard-  
ware will stretch the clock after the 8th falling edge of  
SCLx. The slave must then set its ACKDT value and  
release the clock with communication progressing as it  
would normally.  
The general call address is a reserved address in the  
I2C protocol, defined as address 0x00. When the  
GCEN bit of the SSPxCON2 register is set, the slave  
module will automatically ACK the reception of this  
address regardless of the value stored in SSPxADD.  
After the slave clocks in an address of all zeros with  
the R/W bit clear, an interrupt is generated and slave  
software can read SSPxBUF and respond.

21.5.9 SSPx MASK REGISTER  
An SSPx Mask (SSPxMSK) register (Register 21-5) is  
available in I2C Slave mode as a mask for the value  
held in the SSPxSR register during an address  
comparison operation. A zero (‘0’) bit in the SSPxMSK  
register has the effect of making the corresponding bit  
of the received address a “don’t care”.  
This register is reset to all ‘1’s upon any Reset  
condition and, therefore, has no effect on standard  
SSPx operation until written with a mask value.  
The SSPx Mask register is active during:  
• 7-bit Address mode: address compare of A<7:1>.  
• 10-bit Address mode: address compare of A<7:0>  
only. The SSPx mask has no effect during the  
reception of the first (high) byte of the address.

21.6.1 I2C MASTER MODE OPERATION  
2
21.6 I C MASTER MODE  
The master device generates all of the serial clock  
pulses and the Start and Stop conditions. A transfer is  
ended with a Stop condition or with a Repeated Start  
condition. Since the Repeated Start condition is also  
the beginning of the next serial transfer, the I2C bus will  
not be released.  
Master mode is enabled by setting and clearing the  
appropriate SSPM bits in the SSPxCON1 register and  
by setting the SSPEN bit. In Master mode, the SDAx  
and SCKx pins must be configured as inputs. The  
MSSP peripheral hardware will override the output  
driver TRIS controls when necessary to drive the pins  
low.  
In Master Transmitter mode, serial data is output  
through SDAx, while SCLx outputs the serial clock. The  
first byte transmitted contains the slave address of the  
receiving device (7 bits) and the Read/Write (R/W) bit.  
In this case, the R/W bit will be logic ‘0’. Serial data is  
transmitted 8 bits at a time. After each byte is transmit-  
ted, an Acknowledge bit is received. Start and Stop  
conditions are output to indicate the beginning and the  
end of a serial transfer.  
Master mode of operation is supported by interrupt  
generation on the detection of the Start and Stop con-  
ditions. The Stop (P) and Start (S) bits are cleared from  
a Reset or when the MSSPx module is disabled. Con-  
trol of the I2C bus may be taken when the P bit is set,  
or the bus is idle.  
In Firmware Controlled Master mode, user code  
conducts all I2C bus operations based on Start and  
Stop bit condition detection. Start and Stop condition  
detection is the only active circuitry in this mode. All  
other communication is done by the user software  
directly manipulating the SDAx and SCLx lines.  
In Master Receive mode, the first byte transmitted con-  
tains the slave address of the transmitting device  
(7 bits) and the R/W bit. In this case, the R/W bit will be  
logic ‘1’. Thus, the first byte transmitted is a 7-bit slave  
address followed by a ‘1’ to indicate the receive bit.  
Serial data is received via SDAx, while SCLx outputs  
the serial clock. Serial data is received 8 bits at a time.  
After each byte is received, an Acknowledge bit is  
transmitted. Start and Stop conditions indicate the  
beginning and end of transmission.  
The following events will cause the SSPx Interrupt Flag  
bit, SSPxIF, to be set (SSPx interrupt, if enabled):  
• Start condition detected  
• Stop condition detected  
• Data transfer byte transmitted/received  
• Acknowledge transmitted/received  
• Repeated Start generated  
A Baud Rate Generator is used to set the clock fre-  
quency output on SCLx. See Section 21.7 “Baud  
Rate Generator” for more detail.  
Note 1: The MSSPx module, when configured in  
I2C Master mode, does not allow queue-  
ing of events. For instance, the user is not  
allowed to initiate a Start condition and  
immediately write the SSPxBUF register  
to initiate transmission before the Start  
condition is complete. In this case, the  
SSPxBUF will not be written to and the  
WCOL bit will be set, indicating that a  
write to the SSPxBUF did not occur  
2: When in Master mode, Start/Stop detec-  
tion is masked and an interrupt is gener-  
ated when the SEN/PEN bit is cleared and  
the generation is complete.

21.6.2 CLOCK ARBITRATION  
Clock arbitration occurs when the master, during any  
receive, transmit or Repeated Start/Stop condition,  
releases the SCLx pin (SCLx allowed to float high).  
When the SCLx pin is allowed to float high, the Baud  
Rate Generator (BRG) is suspended from counting  
until the SCLx pin is actually sampled high. When the  
SCLx pin is sampled high, the Baud Rate Generator is  
reloaded with the contents of SSPxADD<7:0> and  
begins counting. This ensures that the SCLx high time  
will always be at least one BRG rollover count in the  
event that the clock is held low by an external device  
(Figure 21-25).

If the user writes the SSPxBUF when a Start, Restart,  
Stop, Receive or Transmit sequence is in progress, the  
WCOL bit is set and the contents of the buffer are  
unchanged (the write does not occur). Any time the  
WCOL bit is set it indicates that an action on SSPxBUF  
was attempted while the module was not idle.  
Note:  
Because queueing of events is not  
allowed, writing to the lower 5 bits of  
SSPxCON2 is disabled until the Start  
condition is complete.

by hardware; the Baud Rate Generator is suspended,  
leaving the SDAx line held low and the Start condition  
is complete.  
CONDITION TIMING  
To initiate a Start condition, the user sets the Start  
Enable bit, SEN bit of the SSPxCON2 register. If the  
SDAx and SCLx pins are sampled high, the Baud Rate  
Generator is reloaded with the contents of  
SSPxADD<7:0> and starts its count. If SCLx and  
SDAx are both sampled high when the Baud Rate  
Generator times out (TBRG), the SDAx pin is driven  
low. The action of the SDAx being driven low while  
SCLx is high is the Start condition and causes the S bit  
of the SSPxSTAT1 register to be set. Following this,  
the Baud Rate Generator is reloaded with the contents  
of SSPxADD<7:0> and resumes its count. When the  
Baud Rate Generator times out (TBRG), the SEN bit of  
the SSPxCON2 register will be automatically cleared  
Note 1: If at the beginning of the Start condition,  
the SDAx and SCLx pins are already sam-  
pled low, or if during the Start condition,  
the SCLx line is sampled low before the  
SDAx line is driven low, a bus collision  
occurs, the Bus Collision Interrupt Flag,  
BCLxIF, is set, the Start condition is  
aborted and the I2C module is reset into  
its Idle state.  
2: The Philips I2C Specification states that a  
bus collision cannot occur on a Start.

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

21.6.6 I2C MASTER MODE TRANSMISSION  
21.6.6.3  
ACKSTAT Status Flag  
In Transmit mode, the ACKSTAT bit of the SSPxCON2  
register is cleared when the slave has sent an Acknowl-  
edge (ACK = 0) and is set when the slave does not  
Acknowledge (ACK = 1). A slave sends an Acknowl-  
edge when it has recognized its address (including a  
general call), or when the slave has properly received  
its data.  
Transmission of a data byte, a 7-bit address or the  
other half of a 10-bit address is accomplished by simply  
writing a value to the SSPxBUF register. This action will  
set the Buffer Full flag bit, BF, and allow the Baud Rate  
Generator to begin counting and start the next trans-  
mission. Each bit of address/data will be shifted out  
onto the SDAx pin after the falling edge of SCLx is  
asserted. SCLx is held low for one Baud Rate Genera-  
tor rollover count (TBRG). Data should be valid before  
SCLx is released high. When the SCLx pin is released  
high, it is held that way for TBRG. The data on the SDAx  
pin must remain stable for that duration and some hold  
time after the next falling edge of SCLx. After the eighth  
bit is shifted out (the falling edge of the eighth clock),  
the BF flag is cleared and the master releases SDAx.  
This allows the slave device being addressed to  
respond with an ACK bit during the ninth bit time if an  
address match occurred, or if data was received prop-  
erly. The status of ACK is written into the ACKSTAT bit  
on the rising edge of the ninth clock. If the master  
receives an Acknowledge, the Acknowledge Status bit,  
ACKSTAT, is cleared. If not, the bit is set. After the ninth  
clock, the SSPxIF bit is set and the master clock (Baud  
Rate Generator) is suspended until the next data byte  
is loaded into the SSPxBUF, leaving SCLx low and  
SDAx unchanged (Figure 21-27).  
21.6.6.4 Typical transmit sequence:  
1. The user generates a Start condition by setting  
the SEN bit of the SSPxCON2 register.  
2. SSPxIF is set by hardware on completion of the  
Start.  
3. SSPxIF is cleared by software.  
4. The MSSPx module will wait the required start  
time before any other operation takes place.  
5. The user loads the SSPxBUF with the slave  
address to transmit.  
6. Address is shifted out the SDAx pin until all 8 bits  
are transmitted. Transmission begins as soon  
as SSPxBUF is written to.  
7. The MSSPx module shifts in the ACK bit from  
the slave device and writes its value into the  
ACKSTAT bit of the SSPxCON2 register.  
8. The MSSPx module generates an interrupt at  
the end of the ninth clock cycle by setting the  
SSPxIF bit.  
After the write to the SSPxBUF, each bit of the address  
will be shifted out on the falling edge of SCLx until all  
seven address bits and the R/W bit are completed. On  
the falling edge of the eighth clock, the master will  
release the SDAx pin, allowing the slave to respond  
with an Acknowledge. On the falling edge of the ninth  
clock, the master will sample the SDAx pin to see if the  
address was recognized by a slave. The status of the  
ACK bit is loaded into the ACKSTAT Status bit of the  
SSPxCON2 register. Following the falling edge of the  
ninth clock transmission of the address, the SSPxIF is  
set, the BF flag is cleared and the Baud Rate Generator  
is turned off until another write to the SSPxBUF takes  
place, holding SCLx low and allowing SDAx to float.  
9. The user loads the SSPxBUF with eight bits of  
data.  
10. Data is shifted out the SDAx pin until all 8 bits  
are transmitted.  
11. The MSSPx module shifts in the ACK bit from  
the slave device and writes its value into the  
ACKSTAT bit of the SSPxCON2 register.  
12. Steps 8-11 are repeated for all transmitted data  
bytes.  
13. The user generates a Stop or Restart condition  
by setting the PEN or RSEN bits of the  
SSPxCON2 register. Interrupt is generated once  
the Stop/Restart condition is complete.  
21.6.6.1  
BF Status Flag  
In Transmit mode, the BF bit of the SSPxSTAT register  
is set when the CPU writes to SSPxBUF and is cleared  
when all 8 bits are shifted out.  
21.6.6.2  
WCOL Status Flag  
If the user writes the SSPxBUF when a transmit is  
already in progress (i.e., SSPxSR is still shifting out a  
data byte), the WCOL bit is set and the contents of the  
buffer are unchanged (the write does not occur).  
WCOL must be cleared by software before the next  
transmission.

21.6.7  
I C MASTER MODE RECEPTION  
Master mode reception is enabled by programming the  
Receive Enable bit, RCEN bit of the SSPxCON2  
register.  
1. The user generates a Start condition by setting  
the SEN bit of the SSPxCON2 register.  
2. SSPxIF is set by hardware on completion of the  
Start.  
Note:  
The MSSPx module must be in an Idle  
state before the RCEN bit is set or the  
RCEN bit will be disregarded.  
3. SSPxIF is cleared by software.  
4. User writes SSPxBUF with the slave address to  
transmit and the R/W bit set.  
The Baud Rate Generator begins counting and on each  
rollover, the state of the SCLx pin changes  
(high-to-low/low-to-high) and data is shifted into the  
SSPxSR. After the falling edge of the eighth clock, the  
receive enable flag is automatically cleared, the con-  
tents of the SSPxSR are loaded into the SSPxBUF, the  
BF flag bit is set, the SSPxIF flag bit is set and the Baud  
Rate Generator is suspended from counting, holding  
SCLx low. The MSSP is now in Idle state awaiting the  
next command. When the buffer is read by the CPU,  
the BF flag bit is automatically cleared. The user can  
then send an Acknowledge bit at the end of reception  
by setting the Acknowledge Sequence Enable, ACKEN  
bit of the SSPxCON2 register.  
5. Address is shifted out the SDAx pin until all 8 bits  
are transmitted. Transmission begins as soon  
as SSPxBUF is written to.  
6. The MSSP module shifts in the ACK bit from the  
slave device and writes its value into the  
ACKSTAT bit of the SSPxCON2 register.  
7. The MSSP module generates an interrupt at the  
end of the ninth clock cycle by setting the  
SSPxIF bit.  
8. User sets the RCEN bit of the SSPxCON2 regis-  
ter and the Master clocks in a byte from the slave.  
9. After the 8th falling edge of SCLx, SSPxIF and  
BF are set.  
10. Master clears SSPxIF and reads the received  
byte from SSPxBUF, clears BF.  
21.6.7.1  
BF Status Flag  
In receive operation, the BF bit is set when an address  
or data byte is loaded into SSPxBUF from SSPxSR. It  
is cleared when the SSPxBUF register is read.  
11. Master sets ACK value sent to slave in ACKDT  
bit of the SSPxCON2 register and initiates the  
ACK by setting the ACKEN bit.  
21.6.7.2  
SSPOV Status Flag  
12. Masters ACK is clocked out to the Slave and  
SSPxIF is set.  
In receive operation, the SSPOV bit is set when 8 bits  
are received into the SSPxSR and the BF flag bit is  
already set from a previous reception.  
13. User clears SSPxIF.  
14. Steps 8-13 are repeated for each received byte  
from the slave.  
21.6.7.3  
WCOL Status Flag  
15. Master sends a not ACK or Stop to end  
communication.  
If the user writes the SSPxBUF when a receive is  
already in progress (i.e., SSPxSR is still shifting in a  
data byte), the WCOL bit is set and the contents of the  
buffer are unchanged (the write does not occur).

ACKNOWLEDGE SEQUENCE  
TIMING  
21.6.9  
STOP CONDITION TIMING  
A Stop bit is asserted on the SDAx pin at the end of a  
receive/transmit by setting the Stop Sequence Enable  
bit, PEN bit of the SSPxCON2 register. At the end of a  
receive/transmit, the SCLx line is held low after the  
falling edge of the ninth clock. When the PEN bit is set,  
the master will assert the SDAx line low. When the  
SDAx line is sampled low, the Baud Rate Generator is  
reloaded and counts down to ‘0’. When the Baud Rate  
Generator times out, the SCLx pin will be brought high  
and one TBRG (Baud Rate Generator rollover count)  
later, the SDAx pin will be deasserted. When the SDAx  
pin is sampled high while SCLx is high, the P bit of the  
SSPxSTAT register is set. A TBRG later, the PEN bit is  
cleared and the SSPxIF bit is set (Figure 21-30).  
An Acknowledge sequence is enabled by setting the  
Acknowledge Sequence Enable bit, ACKEN bit of the  
SSPxCON2 register. When this bit is set, the SCLx pin is  
pulled low and the contents of the Acknowledge data bit  
are presented on the SDAx pin. If the user wishes to  
generate an Acknowledge, then the ACKDT bit should  
be cleared. If not, the user should set the ACKDT bit  
before starting an Acknowledge sequence. The Baud  
Rate Generator then counts for one rollover period  
(TBRG) and the SCLx pin is deasserted (pulled high).  
When the SCLx pin is sampled high (clock arbitration),  
the Baud Rate Generator counts for TBRG. The SCLx pin  
is then pulled low. Following this, the ACKEN bit is auto-  
matically cleared, the Baud Rate Generator is turned off  
and the MSSP module then goes into Idle mode  
(Figure 21-29).

21.6.10 SLEEP OPERATION  
21.6.13 MULTI -MASTER COMMUNICATION,  
BUS COLLISION AND BUS  
While in Sleep mode, the I2C slave module can receive  
addresses or data and when an address match or  
complete byte transfer occurs, wake the processor  
from Sleep (if the MSSP interrupt is enabled).  
ARBITRATION  
Multi-Master mode support is achieved by bus arbitra-  
tion. When the master outputs address/data bits onto  
the SDAx pin, arbitration takes place when the master  
outputs a ‘1’ on SDAx, by letting SDAx float high and  
another master asserts a ‘0’. When the SCLx pin floats  
high, data should be stable. If the expected data on  
SDAx is a ‘1’ and the data sampled on the SDAx pin is  
0’, then a bus collision has taken place. The master will  
set the Bus Collision Interrupt Flag, BCLxIF and reset  
the I2C port to its Idle state (Figure 21-31).  
21.6.11 EFFECTS OF A RESET  
A Reset disables the MSSP module and terminates the  
current transfer.  
21.6.12 MULTI-MASTER MODE  
In Multi-Master mode, the interrupt generation on the  
detection of the Start and Stop conditions allows the  
determination of when the bus is free. The Stop (P) and  
Start (S) bits are cleared from a Reset or when the  
MSSP module is disabled. Control of the I2C bus may  
be taken when the P bit of the SSPxSTAT register is  
set, or the bus is idle, with both the S and P bits clear.  
When the bus is busy, enabling the SSP interrupt will  
generate the interrupt when the Stop condition occurs.  
If a transmit was in progress when the bus collision  
occurred, the transmission is halted, the BF flag is  
cleared, the SDAx and SCLx lines are deasserted and  
the SSPxBUF can be written to. When the user ser-  
vices the bus collision Interrupt Service Routine and if  
the I2C bus is free, the user can resume communica-  
tion by asserting a Start condition.  
In multi-master operation, the SDAx line must be  
monitored for arbitration to see if the signal level is the  
expected output level. This check is performed by  
hardware with the result placed in the BCLxIF bit.  
If a Start, Repeated Start, Stop or Acknowledge condi-  
tion was in progress when the bus collision occurred, the  
condition is aborted, the SDAx and SCLx lines are deas-  
serted and the respective control bits in the SSPxCON2  
register are cleared. When the user services the bus col-  
lision Interrupt Service Routine and if the I2C bus is free,  
the user can resume communication by asserting a Start  
condition.  
The states where arbitration can be lost are:  
• Address Transfer  
• Data Transfer  
• A Start Condition  
The master will continue to monitor the SDAx and SCLx  
pins. If a Stop condition occurs, the SSPxIF bit will be set.  
• A Repeated Start Condition  
• An Acknowledge Condition  
A write to the SSPxBUF will start the transmission of  
data at the first data bit, regardless of where the  
transmitter left off when the bus collision occurred.  
In Multi-Master mode, the interrupt generation on the  
detection of Start and Stop conditions allows the deter-  
mination of when the bus is free. Control of the I2C bus  
can be taken when the P bit is set in the SSPxSTAT  
register, or the bus is idle and the S and P bits are  
cleared.

If the SDAx pin is sampled low during this count, the  
BRG is reset and the SDAx line is asserted early

pin, the SDA pin is asserted low at the end of the BRG  
count. The Baud Rate Generator is then reloaded and  
counts down to zero; if the SCL pin is sampled as ‘0’  
during this time, a bus collision does not occur. At the  
end of the BRG count, the SCL pin is asserted low.  
21.6.13.1 Bus Collision During a Start  
Condition  
During a Start condition, a bus collision occurs if:  
a) SDA or SCL are sampled low at the beginning of  
the Start condition (Figure 21-32).  
b) SCL is sampled low before SDAx is asserted  
low (Figure 21-33).  
During a Start condition, both the SDAx and the SCL  
pins are monitored.  
Note:  
The reason that bus collision is not a fac-  
tor during a Start condition is that no two  
bus masters can assert a Start condition  
at the exact same time. Therefore, one  
master will always assert SDAx before the  
other. This condition does not cause a bus  
collision because the two masters must be  
allowed to arbitrate the first address fol-  
lowing the Start condition. If the address is  
the same, arbitration must be allowed to  
continue into the data portion, Repeated  
Start or Stop conditions.  
If the SDA pin is already low, or the SCL pin is already  
low, then all of the following occur:  
• the Start condition is aborted,  
• the BCL1IF flag is set and  
the MSSP module is reset to its Idle state  
(Figure 21-32).  
The Start condition begins with the SDAx and SCLx  
pins deasserted. When the SDAx pin is sampled high,  
the Baud Rate Generator is loaded and counts down. If  
the SCLx pin is sampled low while SDAx is high, a bus  
collision occurs because it is assumed that another  
master is attempting to drive a data ‘1’ during the Start  
condition.

If SDAx is low, a bus collision has occurred (i.e., another  
master is attempting to transmit a data ‘0’, Figure 21-35).  
If SDAx is sampled high, the BRG is reloaded and  
begins counting. If SDAx goes from high-to-low before  
the BRG times out, no bus collision occurs because no  
two masters can assert SDAx at exactly the same time.  
21.6.13.2 Bus Collision During a Repeated  
Start Condition  
During a Repeated Start condition, a bus collision  
occurs if:  
a) A low level is sampled on SDAx when SCLx  
goes from low level to high level.  
If SCLx goes from high-to-low before the BRG times  
out and SDAx has not already been asserted, a bus  
collision occurs. In this case, another master is  
attempting to transmit a data ‘1’ during the Repeated  
Start condition, see Figure 21-36.  
b) SCLx goes low before SDAx is asserted low,  
indicating that another master is attempting to  
transmit a data ‘1’.  
When the user releases SDAx and the pin is allowed to  
float high, the BRG is loaded with SSPxADD and  
counts down to zero. The SCLx pin is then deasserted  
and when sampled high, the SDAx pin is sampled.  
If, at the end of the BRG time-out, both SCLx and SDAx  
are still high, the SDAx pin is driven low and the BRG  
is reloaded and begins counting. At the end of the  
count, regardless of the status of the SCLx pin, the  
SCLx pin is driven low and the Repeated Start  
condition is complete.

The Stop condition begins with SDAx asserted low.  
When SDAx is sampled low, the SCLx pin is allowed to  
float. When the pin is sampled high (clock arbitration),  
the Baud Rate Generator is loaded with SSPxADD and  
counts down to 0. After the BRG times out, SDAx is  
sampled. If SDAx is sampled low, a bus collision has  
occurred. This is due to another master attempting to  
drive a data ‘0’ (Figure 21-37). If the SCLx pin is  
sampled low before SDAx is allowed to float high, a bus  
collision occurs. This is another case of another master  
attempting to drive a data ‘0’ (Figure 21-38).  
21.6.13.3 Bus Collision During a Stop  
Condition  
Bus collision occurs during a Stop condition if:  
a) After the SDAx pin has been deasserted and  
allowed to float high, SDAx is sampled low after  
the BRG has timed out.  
b) After the SCLx pin is deasserted, SCLx is  
sampled low before SDAx goes high.

module clock line. The logic dictating when the reload  
signal is asserted depends on the mode the MSSP is  
being operated in.  
21.7 BAUD RATE GENERATOR  
The MSSP module has a Baud Rate Generator avail-  
able for clock generation in both I2C and SPI Master  
modes. The Baud Rate Generator (BRG) reload value  
is placed in the SSPxADD register (Register 21-6).  
When a write occurs to SSPxBUF, the Baud Rate Gen-  
erator will automatically begin counting down.  
Table 21-4 demonstrates clock rates based on  
instruction cycles and the BRG value loaded into  
SSPxADD.  
EQUATION 21-1:  
Once the given operation is complete, the internal clock  
will automatically stop counting and the clock pin will  
remain in its last state.

An internal signal “Reload” in Figure 21-39 triggers the

counter. This occurs twice for each oscillation of the

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

The operation of the EUSART module is controlled  
through three registers:  
• Transmit Status and Control (TXSTA)  
• Receive Status and Control (RCSTA)  
• Baud Rate Control (BAUDCON)  
These registers are detailed in Register 22-1,  
Register 22-2 and Register 22-3, respectively.  
When the receiver or transmitter section is not enabled  
then the corresponding RX or TX pin may be used for  
general purpose input and output.

22.1.1.2  
Transmitting Data  
22.1 EUSART Asynchronous Mode  
A transmission is initiated by writing a character to the  
TXREG register. If this is the first character, or the  
previous character has been completely flushed from  
the TSR, the data in the TXREG is immediately  
transferred to the TSR register. If the TSR still contains  
all or part of a previous character, the new character  
data is held in the TXREG until the Stop bit of the  
previous character has been transmitted. The pending  
character in the TXREG is then transferred to the TSR  
in one TCY immediately following the Stop bit  
transmission. The transmission of the Start bit, data bits  
and Stop bit sequence commences immediately  
following the transfer of the data to the TSR from the  
TXREG.  
The EUSART transmits and receives data using the  
standard non-return-to-zero (NRZ) format. NRZ is  
implemented with two levels: a VOH mark state which  
represents a ‘1’ data bit, and a VOL space state which  
represents a ‘0’ data bit. NRZ refers to the fact that  
consecutively transmitted data bits of the same value  
stay at the output level of that bit without returning to a  
neutral level between each bit transmission. An NRZ  
transmission port idles in the mark state. Each character  
transmission consists of one Start bit followed by eight  
or nine data bits and is always terminated by one or  
more Stop bits. The Start bit is always a space and the  
Stop bits are always marks. The most common data  
format is 8 bits. Each transmitted bit persists for a period  
of 1/(Baud Rate). An on-chip dedicated 8-bit/16-bit Baud  
Rate Generator is used to derive standard baud rate  
frequencies from the system oscillator. See Table 22-5  
for examples of baud rate configurations.  
22.1.1.3  
Transmit Data Polarity  
The polarity of the transmit data can be controlled with  
the SCKP bit of the BAUDCON register. The default  
state of this bit is ‘0’ which selects high true transmit idle  
and data bits. Setting the SCKP bit to ‘1’ will invert the  
transmit data resulting in low true idle and data bits. The  
SCKP bit controls transmit data polarity in  
Asynchronous mode only. In Synchronous mode, the  
SCKP bit has a different function. See Section 22.4.1.2  
“Clock Polarity”.  
The EUSART transmits and receives the LSb first. The  
EUSART’s transmitter and receiver are functionally  
independent, but share the same data format and baud  
rate. Parity is not supported by the hardware, but can  
be implemented in software and stored as the ninth  
data bit.  
22.1.1  
EUSART ASYNCHRONOUS  
TRANSMITTER  
22.1.1.4  
Transmit Interrupt Flag  
The TXIF interrupt flag bit of the PIR1 register is set  
whenever the EUSART transmitter is enabled and no  
character is being held for transmission in the TXREG.  
In other words, the TXIF bit is only clear when the TSR  
is busy with a character and a new character has been  
queued for transmission in the TXREG. The TXIF flag bit  
is not cleared immediately upon writing TXREG. TXIF  
becomes valid in the second instruction cycle following  
the write execution. Polling TXIF immediately following  
the TXREG write will return invalid results. The TXIF bit  
is read-only, it cannot be set or cleared by software.  
The EUSART transmitter block diagram is shown in  
Figure 22-1. The heart of the transmitter is the serial  
Transmit Shift Register (TSR), which is not directly  
accessible by software. The TSR obtains its data from  
the transmit buffer, which is the TXREG register.  
22.1.1.1  
Enabling the Transmitter  
The EUSART transmitter is enabled for asynchronous  
operations by configuring the following three control  
bits:  
• TXEN = 1  
• SYNC = 0  
• SPEN = 1  
The TXIF interrupt can be enabled by setting the TXIE  
interrupt enable bit of the PIE1 register. However, the  
TXIF flag bit will be set whenever the TXREG is empty,  
regardless of the state of TXIE enable bit.  
All other EUSART control bits are assumed to be in  
their default state.  
To use interrupts when transmitting data, set the TXIE  
bit only when there is more data to send. Clear the  
TXIE interrupt enable bit upon writing the last character  
of the transmission to the TXREG.  
Setting the TXEN bit of the TXSTA register enables the  
transmitter circuitry of the EUSART. Clearing the SYNC  
bit of the TXSTA register configures the EUSART for  
asynchronous operation. Setting the SPEN bit of the  
RCSTA register enables the EUSART and automatically  
configures the TX/CK I/O pin as an output. If the TX/CK  
pin is shared with an analog peripheral, the analog I/O  
function must be disabled by clearing the corresponding  
ANSEL bit.  
Note:  
The TXIF Transmitter Interrupt flag is set  
when the TXEN enable bit is set.

22.1.1.5  
TSR Status  
22.1.1.7  
Asynchronous Transmission Set-up:  
The TRMT bit of the TXSTA register indicates the  
status of the TSR register. This is a read-only bit. The  
TRMT bit is set when the TSR register is empty and is  
cleared when a character is transferred to the TSR  
register from the TXREG. The TRMT bit remains clear  
until all bits have been shifted out of the TSR register.  
No interrupt logic is tied to this bit, so the user has to  
poll this bit to determine the TSR status.  
1. Initialize the SPBRGH, SPBRGL register pair and  
the BRGH and BRG16 bits to achieve the desired  
baud rate (see Section 22.3 “EUSART Baud  
Rate Generator (BRG)”).  
2. Enable the asynchronous serial port by clearing  
the SYNC bit and setting the SPEN bit.  
3. If 9-bit transmission is desired, set the TX9 con-  
trol bit. A set ninth data bit will indicate that the 8  
Least Significant data bits are an address when  
the receiver is set for address detection.  
Note:  
The TSR register is not mapped in data  
memory, so it is not available to the user.  
4. Set SCKP bit if inverted transmit is desired.  
22.1.1.6  
Transmitting 9-Bit Characters  
5. Enable the transmission by setting the TXEN  
control bit. This will cause the TXIF interrupt bit  
to be set.  
The EUSART supports 9-bit character transmissions.  
When the TX9 bit of the TXSTA register is set, the  
EUSART will shift 9 bits out for each character transmit-  
ted. The TX9D bit of the TXSTA register is the ninth,  
and Most Significant, data bit. When transmitting 9-bit  
data, the TX9D data bit must be written before writing  
the 8 Least Significant bits into the TXREG. All nine bits  
of data will be transferred to the TSR shift register  
immediately after the TXREG is written.  
6. If interrupts are desired, set the TXIE interrupt  
enable bit of the PIE1 register. An interrupt will  
occur immediately provided that the GIE and  
PEIE bits of the INTCON register are also set.  
7. If 9-bit transmission is selected, the ninth bit  
should be loaded into the TX9D data bit.  
8. Load 8-bit data into the TXREG register. This  
will start the transmission.  
A special 9-bit Address mode is available for use with  
multiple receivers. See Section 22.1.2.7 “Address  
Detection” for more information on the address mode.

22.1.2  
EUSART ASYNCHRONOUS  
RECEIVER  
22.1.2.2  
Receiving Data  
The receiver data recovery circuit initiates character  
reception on the falling edge of the first bit. The first bit,  
also known as the Start bit, is always a zero. The data  
recovery circuit counts one-half bit time to the center of  
the Start bit and verifies that the bit is still a zero. If it is  
not a zero then the data recovery circuit aborts  
character reception, without generating an error, and  
resumes looking for the falling edge of the Start bit. If  
the Start bit zero verification succeeds then the data  
recovery circuit counts a full bit time to the center of the  
next bit. The bit is then sampled by a majority detect  
circuit and the resulting ‘0’ or ‘1’ is shifted into the RSR.  
This repeats until all data bits have been sampled and  
shifted into the RSR. One final bit time is measured and  
the level sampled. This is the Stop bit, which is always  
a ‘1’. If the data recovery circuit samples a ‘0’ in the  
Stop bit position then a framing error is set for this  
character, otherwise the framing error is cleared for this  
character. See Section 22.1.2.4 “Receive Framing  
Error” for more information on framing errors.  
The Asynchronous mode is typically used in RS-232  
systems. The receiver block diagram is shown in  
Figure 22-2. The data is received on the RX/DT pin and  
drives the data recovery block. The data recovery block  
is actually a high-speed shifter operating at 16 times  
the baud rate, whereas the serial Receive Shift  
Register (RSR) operates at the bit rate. When all 8 or 9  
bits of the character have been shifted in, they are  
immediately transferred to  
a
two character  
First-In-First-Out (FIFO) memory. The FIFO buffering  
allows reception of two complete characters and the  
start of a third character before software must start  
servicing the EUSART receiver. The FIFO and RSR  
registers are not directly accessible by software.  
Access to the received data is via the RCREG register.  
22.1.2.1  
Enabling the Receiver  
The EUSART receiver is enabled for asynchronous  
operation by configuring the following three control bits:  
Immediately after all data bits and the Stop bit have  
been received, the character in the RSR is transferred  
to the EUSART receive FIFO and the RCIF interrupt  
flag bit of the PIR1 register is set. The top character in  
the FIFO is transferred out of the FIFO by reading the  
RCREG register.  
• CREN = 1  
• SYNC = 0  
• SPEN = 1  
All other EUSART control bits are assumed to be in  
their default state.  
Setting the CREN bit of the RCSTA register enables the  
receiver circuitry of the EUSART. Clearing the SYNC bit  
of the TXSTA register configures the EUSART for  
asynchronous operation. Setting the SPEN bit of the  
RCSTA register enables the EUSART. The programmer  
must set the corresponding TRIS bit to configure the  
RX/DT I/O pin as an input.  
Note:  
If the receive FIFO is overrun, no additional  
characters will be received until the overrun  
condition is cleared. See Section 22.1.2.5  
“Receive Overrun Error” for more  
information on overrun errors.  
22.1.2.3  
Receive Interrupts  
The RCIF interrupt flag bit of the PIR1 register is set  
whenever the EUSART receiver is enabled and there is  
an unread character in the receive FIFO. The RCIF  
interrupt flag bit is read-only, it cannot be set or cleared  
by software.  
Note:  
If the RX/DT function is on an analog pin,  
the corresponding ANSEL bit must be  
cleared for the receiver to function.  
RCIF interrupts are enabled by setting all of the  
following bits:  
• RCIE interrupt enable bit of the PIE1 register  
• PEIE peripheral interrupt enable bit of the  
INTCON register  
• GIE Global Interrupt Enable bit of the INTCON  
register  
The RCIF interrupt flag bit will be set when there is an  
unread character in the FIFO, regardless of the state of  
interrupt enable bits.

22.1.2.4  
Receive Framing Error  
22.1.2.7  
Address Detection  
Each character in the receive FIFO buffer has a  
corresponding framing error Status bit. A framing error  
indicates that a Stop bit was not seen at the expected  
time. The framing error status is accessed via the  
FERR bit of the RCSTA register. The FERR bit  
represents the status of the top unread character in the  
receive FIFO. Therefore, the FERR bit must be read  
before reading the RCREG.  
A special Address Detection mode is available for use  
when multiple receivers share the same transmission  
line, such as in RS-485 systems. Address detection is  
enabled by setting the ADDEN bit of the RCSTA  
register.  
Address detection requires 9-bit character reception.  
When address detection is enabled, only characters  
with the ninth data bit set will be transferred to the  
receive FIFO buffer, thereby setting the RCIF interrupt  
bit. All other characters will be ignored.  
The FERR bit is read-only and only applies to the top  
unread character in the receive FIFO. A framing error  
(FERR = 1) does not preclude reception of additional  
characters. It is not necessary to clear the FERR bit.  
Reading the next character from the FIFO buffer will  
advance the FIFO to the next character and the next  
corresponding framing error.  
Upon receiving an address character, user software  
determines if the address matches its own. Upon  
address match, user software must disable address  
detection by clearing the ADDEN bit before the next  
Stop bit occurs. When user software detects the end of  
the message, determined by the message protocol  
used, software places the receiver back into the  
Address Detection mode by setting the ADDEN bit.  
The FERR bit can be forced clear by clearing the SPEN  
bit of the RCSTA register which resets the EUSART.  
Clearing the CREN bit of the RCSTA register does not  
affect the FERR bit. A framing error by itself does not  
generate an interrupt.  
Note:  
If all receive characters in the receive  
FIFO have framing errors, repeated reads  
of the RCREG will not clear the FERR bit.  
22.1.2.5  
Receive Overrun Error  
The receive FIFO buffer can hold two characters. An  
overrun error will be generated if a third character, in its  
entirety, is received before the FIFO is accessed. When  
this happens the OERR bit of the RCSTA register is set.  
The characters already in the FIFO buffer can be read  
but no additional characters will be received until the  
error is cleared. The error must be cleared by either  
clearing the CREN bit of the RCSTA register or by  
resetting the EUSART by clearing the SPEN bit of the  
RCSTA register.  
22.1.2.6  
Receiving 9-bit Characters  
The EUSART supports 9-bit character reception. When  
the RX9 bit of the RCSTA register is set the EUSART  
will shift 9 bits into the RSR for each character  
received. The RX9D bit of the RCSTA register is the  
ninth and Most Significant data bit of the top unread  
character in the receive FIFO. When reading 9-bit data  
from the receive FIFO buffer, the RX9D data bit must  
be read before reading the 8 Least Significant bits from  
the RCREG.

The first (preferred) method uses the OSCTUNE  
register to adjust the INTOSC output. Adjusting the  
value in the OSCTUNE register allows for fine resolution  
changes to the system clock source. See Section 5.2.2  
“Internal Clock Sources” for more information.  
22.2 Clock Accuracy with  
Asynchronous Operation  
The factory calibrates the internal oscillator block out-  
put (INTOSC). However, the INTOSC frequency may  
drift as VDD or temperature changes, and this directly  
affects the asynchronous baud rate. Two methods may  
be used to adjust the baud rate clock, but both require  
a reference clock source of some kind.  
The other method adjusts the value in the Baud Rate  
Generator. This can be done automatically with the  
Auto-Baud Detect feature (see Section 22.3.1  
“Auto-Baud Detect”). There may not be fine enough  
resolution when adjusting the Baud Rate Generator to  
compensate for a gradual change in the peripheral  
clock frequency.

EXAMPLE 22-1:  
CALCULATING BAUD  
RATE ERROR  
22.3 EUSART Baud Rate Generator  
(BRG)  
For a device with FOSC of 16 MHz, desired baud rate  
of 9600, Asynchronous mode, 8-bit BRG:  
The Baud Rate Generator (BRG) is an 8-bit or 16-bit  
timer that is dedicated to the support of both the  
asynchronous and synchronous EUSART operation.  
By default, the BRG operates in 8-bit mode. Setting the  
BRG16 bit of the BAUDCON register selects 16-bit  
mode.  
FOSC  
Desired Baud Rate = -----------------------------------------------------------------------  
64[SPBRGH:SPBRGL] + 1  
Solving for SPBRGH:SPBRGL:  
FOSC  
---------------------------------------------  
Desired Baud Rate  
X = --------------------------------------------- 1  
64  
The SPBRGH, SPBRGL register pair determines the  
period of the free running baud rate timer. In  
Asynchronous mode the multiplier of the baud rate  
period is determined by both the BRGH bit of the TXSTA  
register and the BRG16 bit of the BAUDCON register. In  
Synchronous mode, the BRGH bit is ignored.  
16000000  
-----------------------  
9600  
= ----------------------- 1  
64  
= 25.042= 25  
Table 22-3 contains the formulas for determining the  
baud rate. Example 22-1 provides a sample calculation  
for determining the baud rate and baud rate error.  
16000000  
Calculated Baud Rate = --------------------------  
6425 + 1  
Typical baud rates and error values for various  
Asynchronous modes have been computed for your  
convenience and are shown in Table 22-3. It may be  
advantageous to use the high baud rate (BRGH = 1),  
or the 16-bit BRG (BRG16 = 1) to reduce the baud rate  
error. The 16-bit BRG mode is used to achieve slow  
baud rates for fast oscillator frequencies.  
= 9615  
Calc. Baud Rate Desired Baud Rate  
Error = --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  
Desired Baud Rate  
9615 9600  
= ---------------------------------- = 0 . 1 6 %  
9600  
Writing a new value to the SPBRGH, SPBRGL register  
pair causes the BRG timer to be reset (or cleared). This  
ensures that the BRG does not wait for a timer overflow  
before outputting the new baud rate.  
If the system clock is changed during an active receive  
operation, a receive error or data loss may result. To  
avoid this problem, check the status of the RCIDL bit to  
make sure that the receive operation is idle before  
changing the system clock.

PIC16(L)F1508/9  
and SPBRGL registers are clocked at 1/8th the BRG  
base clock rate. The resulting byte measurement is the  
average bit time when clocked at full speed.  
22.3.1  
AUTO-BAUD DETECT  
The EUSART module supports automatic detection  
and calibration of the baud rate.  
Note 1: If the WUE bit is set with the ABDEN bit,  
auto-baud detection will occur on the byte  
following the Break character (see  
Section 22.3.3 “Auto-Wake-up on  
Break”).  
In the Auto-Baud Detect (ABD) mode, the clock to the  
BRG is reversed. Rather than the BRG clocking the  
incoming RX signal, the RX signal is timing the BRG.  
The Baud Rate Generator is used to time the period of  
a received 55h (ASCII “U”) which is the Sync character  
for the LIN bus. The unique feature of this character is  
that it has five rising edges including the Stop bit edge.  
2: It is up to the user to determine that the  
incoming character baud rate is within the  
range of the selected BRG clock source.  
Some combinations of oscillator frequency  
and EUSART baud rates are not possible.  
Setting the ABDEN bit of the BAUDCON register starts  
the auto-baud calibration sequence (Figure 22-6).  
While the ABD sequence takes place, the EUSART  
state machine is held in Idle. On the first rising edge of  
the receive line, after the Start bit, the SPBRG begins  
counting up using the BRG counter clock as shown in  
Table 22-6. The fifth rising edge will occur on the RX pin  
at the end of the eighth bit period. At that time, an  
accumulated value totaling the proper BRG period is  
left in the SPBRGH, SPBRGL register pair, the ABDEN  
bit is automatically cleared and the RCIF interrupt flag  
is set. The value in the RCREG needs to be read to  
clear the RCIF interrupt. RCREG content should be  
discarded. When calibrating for modes that do not use  
the SPBRGH register the user can verify that the  
SPBRGL register did not overflow by checking for 00h  
in the SPBRGH register.  
3: During the auto-baud process, the  
auto-baud counter starts counting at 1.  
Upon completion of the auto-baud  
sequence, to achieve maximum accuracy,  
subtract 1 from the SPBRGH:SPBRGL  
register pair.

The BRG auto-baud clock is determined by the BRG16  
and BRGH bits as shown in Table 22-6. During ABD,  
both the SPBRGH and SPBRGL registers are used as  
a 16-bit counter, independent of the BRG16 bit setting.  
While calibrating the baud rate period, the SPBRGH  
Note:  
During the ABD sequence, SPBRGL and  
SPBRGH registers are both used as a 16-bit  
counter, independent of BRG16 setting.

AUTO-BAUD OVERFLOW  
22.3.3.1  
Special Considerations  
During the course of automatic baud detection, the  
ABDOVF bit of the BAUDCON register will be set if the  
baud rate counter overflows before the fifth rising edge  
is detected on the RX pin. The ABDOVF bit indicates  
that the counter has exceeded the maximum count that  
can fit in the 16 bits of the SPBRGH:SPBRGL register  
pair. After the ABDOVF bit has been set, the counter  
continues to count until the fifth rising edge is detected  
on the RX pin. Upon detecting the fifth RX edge, the  
hardware will set the RCIF interrupt flag and clear the  
ABDEN bit of the BAUDCON register. The RCIF flag  
can be subsequently cleared by reading the RCREG  
register. The ABDOVF flag of the BAUDCON register  
can be cleared by software directly.  
Break Character  
To avoid character errors or character fragments during  
a wake-up event, the wake-up character must be all  
zeros.  
When the wake-up is enabled the function works  
independent of the low time on the data stream. If the  
WUE bit is set and a valid non-zero character is  
received, the low time from the Start bit to the first rising  
edge will be interpreted as the wake-up event. The  
remaining bits in the character will be received as a  
fragmented character and subsequent characters can  
result in framing or overrun errors.  
Therefore, the initial character in the transmission must  
be all ‘0’s. This must be 10 or more bit times, 13-bit  
times recommended for LIN bus, or any number of bit  
times for standard RS-232 devices.  
To terminate the auto-baud process before the RCIF  
flag is set, clear the ABDEN bit then clear the ABDOVF  
bit of the BAUDCON register. The ABDOVF bit will  
remain set if the ABDEN bit is not cleared first.  
Oscillator Start-up Time  
Oscillator start-up time must be considered, especially  
in applications using oscillators with longer start-up  
intervals (i.e., LP, XT or HS/PLL mode). The Sync  
Break (or wake-up signal) character must be of  
sufficient length, and be followed by a sufficient  
interval, to allow enough time for the selected oscillator  
to start and provide proper initialization of the EUSART.  
22.3.3  
AUTO-WAKE-UP ON BREAK  
During Sleep mode, all clocks to the EUSART are  
suspended. Because of this, the Baud Rate Generator  
is inactive and a proper character reception cannot be  
performed. The Auto-Wake-up feature allows the  
controller to wake-up due to activity on the RX/DT line.  
This feature is available only in Asynchronous mode.  
WUE Bit  
The Auto-Wake-up feature is enabled by setting the  
WUE bit of the BAUDCON register. Once set, the normal  
receive sequence on RX/DT is disabled, and the  
EUSART remains in an Idle state, monitoring for a  
wake-up event independent of the CPU mode. A  
wake-up event consists of a high-to-low transition on the  
RX/DT line. (This coincides with the start of a Sync Break  
or a wake-up signal character for the LIN protocol.)  
The wake-up event causes a receive interrupt by  
setting the RCIF bit. The WUE bit is cleared in  
hardware by a rising edge on RX/DT. The interrupt  
condition is then cleared in software by reading the  
RCREG register and discarding its contents.  
To ensure that no actual data is lost, check the RCIDL  
bit to verify that a receive operation is not in process  
before setting the WUE bit. If a receive operation is not  
occurring, the WUE bit may then be set just prior to  
entering the Sleep mode.  
The EUSART module generates an RCIF interrupt  
coincident with the wake-up event. The interrupt is  
generated synchronously to the Q clocks in normal CPU  
operating modes (Figure 22-7), and asynchronously if  
the device is in Sleep mode (Figure 22-8). The interrupt  
condition is cleared by reading the RCREG register.  
The WUE bit is automatically cleared by the low-to-high  
transition on the RX line at the end of the Break. This  
signals to the user that the Break event is over. At this  
point, the EUSART module is in Idle mode waiting to  
receive the next character.

BREAK CHARACTER SEQUENCE  
22.3.5  
RECEIVING A BREAK CHARACTER  
The EUSART module has the capability of sending the  
special Break character sequences that are required by  
the LIN bus standard. A Break character consists of a  
Start bit, followed by 12 ‘0’ bits and a Stop bit.  
The Enhanced EUSART module can receive a Break  
character in two ways.  
The first method to detect a Break character uses the  
FERR bit of the RCSTA register and the Received data  
as indicated by RCREG. The Baud Rate Generator is  
assumed to have been initialized to the expected baud  
rate.  
To send a Break character, set the SENDB and TXEN  
bits of the TXSTA register. The Break character trans-  
mission is then initiated by a write to the TXREG. The  
value of data written to TXREG will be ignored and all  
0’s will be transmitted.  
A Break character has been received when;  
• RCIF bit is set  
• FERR bit is set  
• RCREG = 00h  
The SENDB bit is automatically reset by hardware after  
the corresponding Stop bit is sent. This allows the user  
to preload the transmit FIFO with the next transmit byte  
following the Break character (typically, the Sync  
character in the LIN specification).  
The second method uses the Auto-Wake-up feature  
described in Section 22.3.3 “Auto-Wake-up on  
Break”. By enabling this feature, the EUSART will  
sample the next two transitions on RX/DT, cause an  
RCIF interrupt, and receive the next data byte followed  
by another interrupt.  
The TRMT bit of the TXSTA register indicates when the  
transmit operation is active or idle, just as it does during  
normal transmission. See Figure 22-9 for the timing of  
the Break character sequence.  
Note that following a Break character, the user will  
typically want to enable the Auto-Baud Detect feature.  
For both methods, the user can set the ABDEN bit of  
the BAUDCON register before placing the EUSART in  
Sleep mode.  
22.3.4.1  
Break and Sync Transmit Sequence  
The following sequence will start a message frame  
header made up of a Break, followed by an auto-baud  
Sync byte. This sequence is typical of a LIN bus  
master.  
1. Configure the EUSART for the desired mode.  
2. Set the TXEN and SENDB bits to enable the  
Break sequence.  
3. Load the TXREG with a dummy character to  
initiate transmission (the value is ignored).  
4. Write ‘55h’ to TXREG to load the Sync character  
into the transmit FIFO buffer.  
5. After the Break has been sent, the SENDB bit is  
reset by hardware and the Sync character is  
then transmitted.  
When the TXREG becomes empty, as indicated by the  
TXIF, the next data byte can be written to TXREG.

Clearing the SCKP bit sets the Idle state as low. When  
the SCKP bit is cleared, the data changes on the rising  
edge of each clock.  
22.4 EUSART Synchronous Mode  
Synchronous serial communications are typically used  
in systems with a single master and one or more  
slaves. The master device contains the necessary cir-  
cuitry for baud rate generation and supplies the clock  
for all devices in the system. Slave devices can take  
advantage of the master clock by eliminating the inter-  
nal clock generation circuitry.  
22.4.1.3  
Synchronous Master Transmission  
Data is transferred out of the device on the RX/DT pin.  
The RX/DT and TX/CK pin output drivers are automat-  
ically enabled when the EUSART is configured for syn-  
chronous master transmit operation.  
There are two signal lines in Synchronous mode: a bidi-  
rectional data line and a clock line. Slaves use the  
external clock supplied by the master to shift the serial  
data into and out of their respective receive and trans-  
mit shift registers. Since the data line is bidirectional,  
synchronous operation is half-duplex only. Half-duplex  
refers to the fact that master and slave devices can  
receive and transmit data but not both simultaneously.  
The EUSART can operate as either a master or slave  
device.  
A transmission is initiated by writing a character to the  
TXREG register. If the TSR still contains all or part of a  
previous character the new character data is held in the  
TXREG until the last bit of the previous character has  
been transmitted. If this is the first character, or the pre-  
vious character has been completely flushed from the  
TSR, the data in the TXREG is immediately transferred  
to the TSR. The transmission of the character com-  
mences immediately following the transfer of the data  
to the TSR from the TXREG.  
Start and Stop bits are not used in synchronous trans-  
missions.  
Each data bit changes on the leading edge of the mas-  
ter clock and remains valid until the subsequent leading  
clock edge.  
22.4.1  
SYNCHRONOUS MASTER MODE  
Note:  
The TSR register is not mapped in data  
memory, so it is not available to the user.  
The following bits are used to configure the EUSART  
for synchronous master operation:  
• SYNC = 1  
22.4.1.4  
Synchronous Master Transmission  
Set-up:  
• CSRC = 1  
• SREN = 0(for transmit); SREN = 1(for receive)  
• CREN = 0(for transmit); CREN = 1(for receive)  
• SPEN = 1  
1. Initialize the SPBRGH, SPBRGL register pair  
and the BRGH and BRG16 bits to achieve the  
desired baud rate (see Section 22.3 “EUSART  
Baud Rate Generator (BRG)”).  
Setting the SYNC bit of the TXSTA register configures  
the device for synchronous operation. Setting the CSRC  
bit of the TXSTA register configures the device as a  
master. Clearing the SREN and CREN bits of the RCSTA  
register ensures that the device is in the Transmit mode,  
otherwise the device will be configured to receive. Setting  
the SPEN bit of the RCSTA register enables the  
EUSART.  
2. Enable the synchronous master serial port by  
setting bits SYNC, SPEN and CSRC.  
3. Disable Receive mode by clearing bits SREN  
and CREN.  
4. Enable Transmit mode by setting the TXEN bit.  
5. If 9-bit transmission is desired, set the TX9 bit.  
6. If interrupts are desired, set the TXIE bit of the  
PIE1 register and the GIE and PEIE bits of the  
INTCON register.  
22.4.1.1  
Master Clock  
Synchronous data transfers use a separate clock line,  
which is synchronous with the data. A device config-  
ured as a master transmits the clock on the TX/CK line.  
The TX/CK pin output driver is automatically enabled  
when the EUSART is configured for synchronous  
transmit or receive operation. Serial data bits change  
on the leading edge to ensure they are valid at the trail-  
ing edge of each clock. One clock cycle is generated  
for each data bit. Only as many clock cycles are gener-  
ated as there are data bits.  
7. If 9-bit transmission is selected, the ninth bit  
should be loaded in the TX9D bit.  
8. Start transmission by loading data to the TXREG  
register.  
22.4.1.2  
Clock Polarity  
A clock polarity option is provided for Microwire  
compatibility. Clock polarity is selected with the SCKP  
bit of the BAUDCON register. Setting the SCKP bit sets  
the clock Idle state as high. When the SCKP bit is set,  
the data changes on the falling edge of each clock.

buffer can be read, however, no additional characters  
will be received until the error is cleared. The OERR bit  
can only be cleared by clearing the overrun condition.  
If the overrun error occurred when the SREN bit is set  
and CREN is clear then the error is cleared by reading  
RCREG. If the overrun occurred when the CREN bit is  
set then the error condition is cleared by either clearing  
the CREN bit of the RCSTA register or by clearing the  
SPEN bit which resets the EUSART.  
22.4.1.5  
Synchronous Master Reception  
Data is received at the RX/DT pin. The RX/DT pin  
output driver is automatically disabled when the  
EUSART is configured for synchronous master receive  
operation.  
In Synchronous mode, reception is enabled by setting  
either the Single Receive Enable bit (SREN of the  
RCSTA register) or the Continuous Receive Enable bit  
(CREN of the RCSTA register).  
22.4.1.8  
Receiving 9-bit Characters  
When SREN is set and CREN is clear, only as many  
clock cycles are generated as there are data bits in a  
single character. The SREN bit is automatically cleared  
at the completion of one character. When CREN is set,  
clocks are continuously generated until CREN is  
cleared. If CREN is cleared in the middle of a character  
the CK clock stops immediately and the partial charac-  
ter is discarded. If SREN and CREN are both set, then  
SREN is cleared at the completion of the first character  
and CREN takes precedence.  
The EUSART supports 9-bit character reception. When  
the RX9 bit of the RCSTA register is set the EUSART  
will shift 9-bits into the RSR for each character  
received. The RX9D bit of the RCSTA register is the  
ninth, and Most Significant, data bit of the top unread  
character in the receive FIFO. When reading 9-bit data  
from the receive FIFO buffer, the RX9D data bit must  
be read before reading the 8 Least Significant bits from  
the RCREG.  
To initiate reception, set either SREN or CREN. Data is  
sampled at the RX/DT pin on the trailing edge of the  
TX/CK clock pin and is shifted into the Receive Shift  
Register (RSR). When a complete character is  
received into the RSR, the RCIF bit is set and the char-  
acter is automatically transferred to the two character  
receive FIFO. The Least Significant eight bits of the top  
character in the receive FIFO are available in RCREG.  
The RCIF bit remains set as long as there are unread  
characters in the receive FIFO.  
22.4.1.9  
Synchronous Master Reception  
Set-up:  
1. Initialize the SPBRGH, SPBRGL register pair for  
the appropriate baud rate. Set or clear the  
BRGH and BRG16 bits, as required, to achieve  
the desired baud rate.  
2. Clear the ANSEL bit for the RX pin (if applicable).  
3. Enable the synchronous master serial port by  
setting bits SYNC, SPEN and CSRC.  
Note:  
If the RX/DT function is on an analog pin,  
the corresponding ANSEL bit must be  
cleared for the receiver to function.  
4. Ensure bits CREN and SREN are clear.  
5. If interrupts are desired, set the RCIE bit of the  
PIE1 register and the GIE and PEIE bits of the  
INTCON register.  
22.4.1.6  
Slave Clock  
6. If 9-bit reception is desired, set bit RX9.  
Synchronous data transfers use a separate clock line,  
which is synchronous with the data. A device configured  
as a slave receives the clock on the TX/CK line. The  
TX/CK pin output driver is automatically disabled when  
the device is configured for synchronous slave transmit  
or receive operation. Serial data bits change on the  
leading edge to ensure they are valid at the trailing edge  
of each clock. One data bit is transferred for each clock  
cycle. Only as many clock cycles should be received as  
there are data bits.  
7. Start reception by setting the SREN bit or for  
continuous reception, set the CREN bit.  
8. Interrupt flag bit RCIF will be set when reception  
of a character is complete. An interrupt will be  
generated if the enable bit RCIE was set.  
9. Read the RCSTA register to get the ninth bit (if  
enabled) and determine if any error occurred  
during reception.  
10. Read the 8-bit received data by reading the  
RCREG register.  
Note:  
If the device is configured as a slave and  
the TX/CK function is on an analog pin, the  
corresponding ANSEL bit must be  
cleared.  
11. If an overrun error occurs, clear the error by  
either clearing the CREN bit of the RCSTA  
register or by clearing the SPEN bit which resets  
the EUSART.  
22.4.1.7  
Receive Overrun Error  
The receive FIFO buffer can hold two characters. An  
overrun error will be generated if a third character, in its  
entirety, is received before RCREG is read to access  
the FIFO. When this happens the OERR bit of the  
RCSTA register is set. Previous data in the FIFO will  
not be overwritten. The two characters in the FIFO

If two words are written to the TXREG and then the  
SLEEPinstruction is executed, the following will occur:  
22.4.2  
SYNCHRONOUS SLAVE MODE  
The following bits are used to configure the EUSART  
for synchronous slave operation:  
1. The first character will immediately transfer to  
the TSR register and transmit.  
• SYNC = 1  
2. The second word will remain in the TXREG  
register.  
• CSRC = 0  
• SREN = 0(for transmit); SREN = 1(for receive)  
• CREN = 0(for transmit); CREN = 1(for receive)  
• SPEN = 1  
3. The TXIF bit will not be set.  
4. After the first character has been shifted out of  
TSR, the TXREG register will transfer the second  
character to the TSR and the TXIF bit will now be  
set.  
Setting the SYNC bit of the TXSTA register configures the  
device for synchronous operation. Clearing the CSRC bit  
of the TXSTA register configures the device as a slave.  
Clearing the SREN and CREN bits of the RCSTA register  
ensures that the device is in the Transmit mode,  
otherwise the device will be configured to receive. Setting  
the SPEN bit of the RCSTA register enables the  
EUSART.  
5. If the PEIE and TXIE bits are set, the interrupt  
will wake the device from Sleep and execute the  
next instruction. If the GIE bit is also set, the  
program will call the Interrupt Service Routine.

SYNCHRONOUS TRANSMIT  
DURING SLEEP  
22.5 EUSART Operation During Sleep  
The EUSART will remain active during Sleep only in the  
Synchronous Slave mode. All other modes require the  
system clock and therefore cannot generate the neces-  
sary signals to run the Transmit or Receive Shift regis-  
ters during Sleep.  
To transmit during Sleep, all the following conditions  
must be met before entering Sleep mode:  
• RCSTA and TXSTA Control registers must be  
configured for synchronous slave transmission  
(see Section 22.4.2.2 “Synchronous Slave  
Transmission Set-up:”).  
Synchronous Slave mode uses an externally generated  
clock to run the Transmit and Receive Shift registers.  
The TXIF interrupt flag must be cleared by writing  
the output data to the TXREG, thereby filling the  
TSR and transmit buffer.  
22.5.1  
SYNCHRONOUS RECEIVE DURING  
SLEEP  
• If interrupts are desired, set the TXIE bit of the  
PIE1 register and the PEIE bit of the INTCON reg-  
ister.  
To receive during Sleep, all the following conditions  
must be met before entering Sleep mode:  
• RCSTA and TXSTA Control registers must be  
configured for Synchronous Slave Reception (see  
Section 22.4.2.4 “Synchronous Slave  
Reception Set-up:”).  
• Interrupt enable bits TXIE of the PIE1 register and  
PEIE of the INTCON register must set.  
Upon entering Sleep mode, the device will be ready to  
accept clocks on TX/CK pin and transmit data on the  
RX/DT pin. When the data word in the TSR has been  
completely clocked out by the external device, the  
pending byte in the TXREG will transfer to the TSR and  
the TXIF flag will be set. Thereby, waking the processor  
from Sleep. At this point, the TXREG is available to  
accept another character for transmission, which will  
clear the TXIF flag.  
• If interrupts are desired, set the RCIE bit of the  
PIE1 register and the GIE and PEIE bits of the  
INTCON register.  
• The RCIF interrupt flag must be cleared by read-  
ing RCREG to unload any pending characters in  
the receive buffer.  
Upon entering Sleep mode, the device will be ready to  
accept data and clocks on the RX/DT and TX/CK pins,  
respectively. When the data word has been completely  
clocked in by the external device, the RCIF interrupt  
flag bit of the PIR1 register will be set. Thereby, waking  
the processor from Sleep.  
Upon waking from Sleep, the instruction following the  
SLEEP instruction will be executed. If the Global  
Interrupt Enable (GIE) bit is also set then the Interrupt  
Service Routine at address 0004h will be called.  
Upon waking from Sleep, the instruction following the  
SLEEPinstruction will be executed. If the Global Inter-  
rupt Enable (GIE) bit of the INTCON register is also set,  
then the Interrupt Service Routine at address 004h will  
be called.  
22.5.3  
ALTERNATE PIN LOCATIONS  
This module incorporates I/O pins that can be moved to  
other locations with the use of the alternate pin function  
register, APFCON. To determine which pins can be  
moved and what their default locations are upon a  
Reset, see Section 11.1 “Alternate Pin Function” for  
more information.

When TMR2 is equal to PR2, the following three events  
occur on the next increment cycle:  
23.1 PWMx Pin Configuration  
All PWM outputs are multiplexed with the PORT data  
latch. The user must configure the pins as outputs by  
clearing the associated TRIS bits.  
• TMR2 is cleared  
• The PWM output is active. (Exception: When the  
PWM duty cycle = 0%, the PWM output will  
remain inactive.)  
Note:  
Clearing the PWMxOE bit will relinquish  
control of the PWMx pin.  
• The PWMxDCH and PWMxDCL register values  
are latched into the buffers.  
23.1.1  
FUNDAMENTAL OPERATION  
The PWM module produces a 10-bit resolution output.  
Timer2 and PR2 set the period of the PWM. The  
PWMxDCL and PWMxDCH registers configure the  
duty cycle. The period is common to all PWM modules,  
whereas the duty cycle is independently controlled.  
Note:  
The Timer2 postscaler has no effect on  
the PWM operation.  
23.1.4  
PWM DUTY CYCLE  
The PWM duty cycle is specified by writing a 10-bit  
value to the PWMxDCH and PWMxDCL register pair.  
The PWMxDCH register contains the eight MSbs and  
the PWMxDCL<7:6>, the two LSbs. The PWMxDCH  
and PWMxDCL registers can be written to at any time.  
Note:  
The Timer2 postscaler is not used in the  
determination of the PWM frequency. The  
postscaler could be used to have a servo  
update rate at a different frequency than  
the PWM output.  
Equation 23-2 is used to calculate the PWM pulse  
width.  
All PWM outputs associated with Timer2 are set when  
TMR2 is cleared. Each PWMx is cleared when TMR2  
is equal to the value specified in the corresponding  
PWMxDCH (8 MSb) and PWMxDCL<7:6> (2 LSb) reg-  
isters. When the value is greater than or equal to PR2,  
the PWM output is never cleared (100% duty cycle).  
Equation 23-3 is used to calculate the PWM duty cycle  
ratio.  
EQUATION 23-2: PULSE WIDTH  
Note:  
The PWMxDCH and PWMxDCL registers  
are double buffered. The buffers are  
updated when Timer2 matches PR2. Care  
should be taken to update both registers  
before the timer match occurs.

23.1.3  
PWM PERIOD  
The PWM period is specified by the PR2 register of  
Timer2. The PWM period can be calculated using the  
formula of Equation 23-1.  
The 8-bit timer TMR2 register is concatenated with the  
two Least Significant bits of 1/FOSC, adjusted by the  
Timer2 prescaler to create the 10-bit time base. The  
system clock is used if the Timer2 prescaler is set to  
1:1.

PWM RESOLUTION  
The resolution determines the number of available duty  
cycles for a given period. For example, a 10-bit resolu-  
tion will result in 1024 discrete duty cycles, whereas an  
8-bit resolution will result in 256 discrete duty cycles.  
The maximum PWM resolution is 10 bits when PR2 is  
255. The resolution is a function of the PR2 register  
value as shown by Equation 23-4.

OPERATION IN SLEEP MODE  
In Sleep mode, the TMR2 register will not increment  
and the state of the module will not change. If the  
PWMx pin is driving a value, it will continue to drive that  
value. When the device wakes up, TMR2 will continue  
from its previous state.  
23.1.7  
CHANGES IN SYSTEM CLOCK  
FREQUENCY  
The PWM frequency is derived from the system clock  
frequency (FOSC). Any changes in the system clock fre-  
quency will result in changes to the PWM frequency.  
Refer to Section 5.0 “Oscillator Module (With  
Fail-Safe Clock Monitor)” for additional details.  
23.1.8  
EFFECTS OF RESET  
Any Reset will force all ports to Input mode and the  
PWM registers to their Reset states.

SETUP FOR PWM OPERATION  
USING PWMx PINS  
The following steps should be taken when configuring  
the module for PWM operation using the PWMx pins:  
1. Disable the PWMx pin output driver(s) by setting  
the associated TRIS bit(s).  
2. Clear the PWMxCON register.  
3. Load the PR2 register with the PWM period  
value.  
4. Clear the PWMxDCH register and bits <7:6> of  
the PWMxDCL register.  
5. Configure and start Timer2:  
• Clear the TMR2IF interrupt flag bit of the  
PIR1 register. See Note below.  
• Configure the T2CKPS bits of the T2CON  
register with the Timer2 prescale value.  
• Enable Timer2 by setting the TMR2ON bit of  
the T2CON register.  
6. Enable PWM output pin and wait until Timer2  
overflows, TMR2IF bit of the PIR1 register is set.  
See note below.  
7. Enable the PWMx pin output driver(s) by clear-  
ing the associated TRIS bit(s) and setting the  
PWMxOE bit of the PWMxCON register.  
8. Configure the PWM module by loading the  
PWMxCON register with the appropriate values.  
Note 1: In order to send a complete duty cycle  
and period on the first PWM output, the  
above steps must be followed in the order  
given. If it is not critical to start with a  
complete PWM signal, then move Step 8  
to replace Step 4.  
2: For operation with other peripherals only,  
disable PWMx pin outputs.

DATA SELECTION  
24.1 CLCx Setup  
There are 16 signals available as inputs to the configu-  
rable logic. Four 8-input multiplexers are used to select  
the inputs to pass on to the next stage. The 16 inputs to  
the multiplexers are arranged in groups of four. Each  
group is available to two of the four multiplexers, in  
each case, paired with a different group. This arrange-  
ment makes possible selection of up to two from a  
group without precluding a selection from another  
group.  
Programming the CLCx module is performed by config-  
uring the 4 stages in the logic signal flow. The 4 stages  
are:  
• Data selection  
• Data gating  
• Logic function selection  
• Output polarity  
Each stage is setup at run time by writing to the corre-  
sponding CLCx Special Function Registers. This has  
the added advantage of permitting logic reconfiguration  
on-the-fly during program execution.  
Data inputs are selected with the CLCxSEL0 and  
CLCxSEL1 registers (Register 24-3 and Register 24-4,  
respectively).  
Data inputs are selected with CLCxSEL0 and  
CLCxSEL1 registers (Register 24-3 and Register 24-4,  
respectively).  
Data selection is through four multiplexers as indicated  
on the left side of Figure 24-2. Data inputs in the figure  
are identified by a generic numbered input name.  
Table 24-1 correlates the generic input name to the  
actual signal for each CLC module. The columns labeled  
lcxd1 through lcxd4 indicate the MUX output for the  
selected data input. D1S through D4S are abbreviations  
for the MUX select input codes: LCxD1S<2:0> through  
LCxD4S<2:0>, respectively. Selecting a data input in a  
column excludes all other inputs in that column.  
Note:  
Data selections are undefined at power-up.

Data gating is indicated in the right side of Figure 24-2.  
Only one gate is shown in detail. The remaining three  
gates are configured identically with the exception that  
the data enables correspond to the enables for that  
gate.  
24.1.2  
DATA GATING  
Outputs from the input multiplexers are directed to the  
desired logic function input through the data gating  
stage. Each data gate can direct any combination of the  
four selected inputs.  
24.1.3  
LOGIC FUNCTION  
Note:  
Data gating is undefined at power-up.  
There are 8 available logic functions including:  
The gate stage is more than just signal direction. The  
gate can be configured to direct each input signal as  
inverted or non-inverted data. Directed signals are  
ANDed together in each gate. The output of each gate  
can be inverted before going on to the logic function  
stage.  
• AND-OR  
• OR-XOR  
• AND  
• S-R Latch  
• D Flip-Flop with Set and Reset  
• D Flip-Flop with Reset  
• J-K Flip-Flop with Reset  
• Transparent Latch with Set and Reset  
The gating is in essence  
a
1-to-4 input  
AND/NAND/OR/NOR gate. When every input is  
inverted and the output is inverted, the gate is an OR of  
all enabled data inputs. When the inputs and output are  
not inverted, the gate is an AND or all enabled inputs.  
Logic functions are shown in Figure 24-3. Each logic  
function has four inputs and one output. The four inputs  
are the four data gate outputs of the previous stage.  
The output is fed to the inversion stage and from there  
to other peripherals, an output pin, and back to the  
CLCx itself.  
Table 24-2 summarizes the basic logic that can be  
obtained in gate 1 by using the gate logic select bits.  
The table shows the logic of four input variables, but  
each gate can be configured to use less than four. If  
no inputs are selected, the output will be zero or one,  
depending on the gate output polarity bit.  
24.1.4  
OUTPUT POLARITY  
The last stage in the configurable logic cell is the output  
polarity. Setting the LCxPOL bit of the CLCxCON reg-  
ister inverts the output signal from the logic stage.  
Changing the polarity while the interrupts are enabled  
will cause an interrupt for the resulting output transition.

It is possible (but not recommended) to select both the  
true and negated values of an input. When this is done,  
the gate output is zero, regardless of the other inputs,  
but may emit logic glitches (transient-induced pulses).  
If the output of the channel must be zero or one, the  
recommended method is to set all gate bits to zero and  
use the gate polarity bit to set the desired level.  
Data gating is configured with the logic gate select reg-  
isters as follows:  
• Gate 1: CLCxGLS0 (Register 24-5)  
• Gate 2: CLCxGLS1 (Register 24-6)  
• Gate 3: CLCxGLS2 (Register 24-7)  
• Gate 4: CLCxGLS3 (Register 24-8)  
Register number suffixes are different than the gate  
numbers because other variations of this module have  
multiple gate selections in the same register.

CLCx SETUP STEPS  
24.2 CLCx Interrupts  
The following steps should be followed when setting up  
the CLCx:  
An interrupt will be generated upon a change in the  
output value of the CLCx when the appropriate interrupt  
enables are set. A rising edge detector and a falling  
edge detector are present in each CLC for this purpose.  
• Disable CLCx by clearing the LCxEN bit.  
• Select desired inputs using CLCxSEL0 and  
CLCxSEL1 registers (See Table 24-1).  
• Clear any associated ANSEL bits.  
The CLCxIF bit of the associated PIR registers will be  
set when either edge detector is triggered and its asso-  
ciated enable bit is set. The LCxINTP enables rising  
edge interrupts and the LCxINTN bit enables falling  
edge interrupts. Both are located in the CLCxCON reg-  
ister.  
• Set all TRIS bits associated with inputs.  
• Clear all TRIS bits associated with outputs.  
• Enable the chosen inputs through the four gates  
using CLCxGLS0, CLCxGLS1, CLCxGLS2, and  
CLCxGLS3 registers.  
To fully enable the interrupt, set the following bits:  
• Select the gate output polarities with the  
LCxPOLy bits of the CLCxPOL register.  
• LCxON bit of the CLCxCON register  
• CLCxIE bit of the associated PIE registers  
• Select the desired logic function with the  
LCxMODE<2:0> bits of the CLCxCON register.  
• LCxINTP bit of the CLCxCON register (for a rising  
edge detection)  
• Select the desired polarity of the logic output with  
the LCxPOL bit of the CLCxPOL register. (This  
step may be combined with the previous gate out-  
put polarity step).  
• LCxINTN bit of the CLCxCON register (for a fall-  
ing edge detection)  
• PEIE and GIE bits of the INTCON register  
The CLCxIF bit of the associated PIR registers, must  
be cleared in software as part of the interrupt service. If  
another edge is detected while this flag is being  
cleared, the flag will still be set at the end of the  
sequence.  
• If driving the CLCx pin, set the LCxOE bit of the  
CLCxCON register and also clear the TRIS bit  
corresponding to that output.  
• If interrupts are desired, configure the following  
bits:  
- Set the LCxINTP bit in the CLCxCON register  
for rising event.

Mirror copies of all LCxCON output bits are contained  
in the CLCxDATA register. Reading this register reads  
the outputs of all CLCs simultaneously. This prevents  
any reading skew introduced by testing or reading the  
CLCxOUT bits in the individual CLCxCON registers.  
- Set the LCxINTN bit in the CLCxCON  
register or falling event.  
- Set the CLCxIE bit of the associated PIE  
registers.  
- Set the GIE and PEIE bits of the INTCON  
register.  
24.4 Effects of a Reset  
• Enable the CLCx by setting the LCxEN bit of the  
CLCxCON register.  
The CLCxCON register is cleared to zero as the result  
of a Reset. All other selection and gating values remain  
unchanged.  
24.5 Operation During Sleep  
The CLC module operates independently from the  
system clock and will continue to run during Sleep,  
provided that the input sources selected remain active.  
The HFINTOSC remains active during Sleep when the  
CLC module is enabled and the HFINTOSC is  
selected as an input source, regardless of the system  
clock source selected.  
In other words, if the HFINTOSC is simultaneously  
selected as the system clock and as a CLC input  
source, when the CLC is enabled, the CPU will go idle  
during Sleep, but the CLC will continue to operate and  
the HFINTOSC will remain active.  
This will have a direct effect on the Sleep mode current.

25.0 NUMERICALLY CONTROLLED  
OSCILLATOR (NCO) MODULE  
The Numerically Controlled Oscillator (NCOx) module  
is a timer that uses the overflow from the addition of an  
increment value to divide the input frequency. The  
advantage of the addition method over simple counter  
driven timer is that the resolution of division does not  
vary with the divider value. The NCOx is most useful for  
applications that require frequency accuracy and fine  
resolution at a fixed duty cycle.  
Features of the NCOx include:  
• 16-bit increment function  
• Fixed Duty Cycle (FDC) mode  
• Pulse Frequency (PF) mode  
• Output pulse width control  
• Multiple clock input sources  
• Output polarity control  
• Interrupt capability  
Figure 25-1 is a simplified block diagram of the NCOx  
module.

25.1.3  
ADDER  
25.1 NCOx OPERATION  
The NCOx Adder is a full adder, which operates  
independently from the system clock. The addition of  
the previous result and the increment value replaces  
the accumulator value on the rising edge of each input  
clock.  
The NCOx operates by repeatedly adding a fixed value  
to an accumulator. Additions occur at the input clock  
rate. The accumulator will overflow with a carry  
periodically, which is the raw NCOx output. This  
effectively reduces the input clock by the ratio of the  
addition value to the maximum accumulator value. See  
Equation 25-1.  
25.1.4  
INCREMENT REGISTERS  
The Increment value is stored in two 8-bit registers  
making up a 16-bit increment. In order of LSB to MSB  
they are:  
The NCOx output can be further modified by stretching  
the pulse or toggling a flip-flop. The modified NCOx  
output is then distributed internally to other peripherals  
and optionally output to a pin. The accumulator overflow  
also generates an interrupt.  
• NCOxINCL  
• NCOxINCH  
The NCOx period changes in discrete steps to create an  
average frequency. This output depends on the ability of  
the receiving circuit (i.e., CWG or external resonant  
converter circuitry) to average the NCOx output to  
reduce uncertainty.  
Both of the registers are readable and writeable. The  
Increment registers are double-buffered to allow for  
value changes to be made without first disabling the  
NCOx module.  
The buffer loads are immediate when the module is dis-  
abled. Writing to the NCOxINCH register first is neces-  
sary because then the buffer is loaded synchronously  
with the NCOx operation after the write is executed on  
the NCOxINCL register.  
25.1.1  
NCOx CLOCK SOURCES  
Clock sources available to the NCOx include:  
• HFINTOSC  
• FOSC  
• LC1OUT  
• CLKIN pin  
Note: The increment buffer registers are not  
user-accessible.  
The NCOx clock source is selected by configuring the  
NxCKS<2:0> bits in the NCOxCLK register.  
25.1.2  
ACCUMULATOR  
The accumulator is a 20-bit register. Read and write  
access to the accumulator is available through three  
registers:  
• NCOxACCL  
• NCOxACCH  
• NCOxACCU

25.2 FIXED DUTY CYCLE (FDC) MODE  
In Fixed Duty Cycle (FDC) mode, every time the  
accumulator overflows, the output is toggled. This  
provides a 50% duty cycle, provided that the increment  
value remains constant. For more information, see  
Figure 25-2.  
The FDC mode is selected by clearing the NxPFM bit  
in the NCOxCON register.  
25.3 PULSE FREQUENCY (PF) MODE  
In Pulse Frequency (PF) mode, every time the accumu-  
lator overflows, the output becomes active for one or  
more clock periods. Once the clock period expires, the  
output returns to an inactive state. This provides a  
pulsed output.  
The output becomes active on the rising clock edge  
immediately following the overflow event. For more  
information, see Figure 25-2.  
The value of the active and inactive states depends on  
the polarity bit, NxPOL in the NCOxCON register.  
The PF mode is selected by setting the NxPFM bit in  
the NCOxCON register.  
25.3.1  
OUTPUT PULSE WIDTH CONTROL  
When operating in PF mode, the active state of the out-  
put can vary in width by multiple clock periods. Various  
pulse widths are selected with the NxPWS<2:0> bits in  
the NCOxCLK register.  
When the selected pulse width is greater than the  
accumulator overflow time frame, the output of the  
NCOx operation is indeterminate.  
25.4 OUTPUT POLARITY CONTROL  
The last stage in the NCOx module is the output polar-  
ity. The NxPOL bit in the NCOxCON register selects the  
output polarity. Changing the polarity while the inter-  
rupts are enabled will cause an interrupt for the result-  
ing output transition.  
The NCOx output can be used internally by source  
code or other peripherals. Accomplish this by reading  
the NxOUT (read-only) bit of the NCOxCON register.

25.5 Interrupts  
When the accumulator overflows, the NCOx Interrupt  
Flag bit, NCOxIF, of the PIRx register is set. To enable  
the interrupt event, the following bits must be set:  
• NxEN bit of the NCOxCON register  
• NCOxIE bit of the PIEx register  
• PEIE bit of the INTCON register  
• GIE bit of the INTCON register  
The interrupt must be cleared by software by clearing  
the NCOxIF bit in the Interrupt Service Routine.  
25.6 Effects of a Reset  
All of the NCOx registers are cleared to zero as the  
result of a Reset.  
25.7 Operation In Sleep  
The NCO module operates independently from the  
system clock and will continue to run during Sleep,  
provided that the clock source selected remains  
active.  
The HFINTOSC remains active during Sleep when the  
NCO module is enabled and the HFINTOSC is  
selected as the clock source, regardless of the system  
clock source selected.  
In other words, if the HFINTOSC is simultaneously  
selected as the system clock and the NCO clock  
source, when the NCO is enabled, the CPU will go idle  
during Sleep, but the NCO will continue to operate and  
the HFINTOSC will remain active.  
This will have a direct effect on the Sleep mode current.  
25.8 Alternate Pin Locations  
This module incorporates I/O pins that can be moved to  
other locations with the use of the alternate pin function  
register, APFCON. To determine which pins can be  
moved and what their default locations are upon a  
Reset, see Section 11.1 “Alternate Pin Function” for  
more information.

enables are dependent on the module enable bit,  
GxEN. When GxEN is cleared, CWG output enables  
and CWG drive levels have no effect.  
26.1 Fundamental Operation  
The CWG generates a two output complementary  
waveform from one of four selectable input sources.  
26.4.2  
POLARITY CONTROL  
The off-to-on transition of each output can be delayed  
from the on-to-off transition of the other output, thereby,  
creating a time delay immediately where neither output  
is driven. This is referred to as dead time and is covered  
in Section 26.5 “Dead-Band Control”. A typical  
operating waveform, with dead band, generated from a  
single input signal is shown in Figure 26-2.  
The polarity of each CWG output can be selected  
independently. When the output polarity bit is set, the  
corresponding output is active high. Clearing the output  
polarity bit configures the corresponding output as  
active low. However, polarity does not affect the  
override levels. Output polarity is selected with the  
GxPOLA and GxPOLB bits of the CWGxCON0 register.  
It may be necessary to guard against the possibility of  
circuit faults or a feedback event arriving too late or not  
at all. In this case, the active drive must be terminated  
before the Fault condition causes damage. This is  
referred to as auto-shutdown and is covered in  
Section 26.9 “Auto-shutdown Control”.  
26.5 Dead-Band Control  
Dead-band control provides for non-overlapping output  
signals to prevent shoot-through current in power  
switches. The CWG contains two 6-bit dead-band  
counters. One dead-band counter is used for the rising  
edge of the input source control. The other is used for  
the falling edge of the input source control.  
26.2 Clock Source  
The CWG module allows the following clock sources  
to be selected:  
Dead band is timed by counting CWG clock periods  
from zero up to the value in the rising or falling dead-  
band counter registers. See CWGxDBR and  
CWGxDBF registers (Register 26-4 and Register 26-5,  
respectively).  
• Fosc (system clock)  
• HFINTOSC (16 MHz only)  
The clock sources are selected using the G1CS0 bit of  
the CWGxCON0 register (Register 26-1).  
26.6 Rising Edge Dead Band  
26.3 Selectable Input Sources  
The rising edge dead-band delays the turn-on of the  
CWGxA output from when the CWGxB output is turned  
off. The rising edge dead-band time starts when the  
rising edge of the input source signal goes true. When  
this happens, the CWGxB output is immediately turned  
off and the rising edge dead-band delay time starts.  
When the rising edge dead-band delay time is reached,  
the CWGxA output is turned on.  
The CWG can generate the complementary waveform  
for the following input sources:  
• async_C1OUT  
• async_C2OUT  
• PWM1OUT  
• PWM2OUT  
• PWM3OUT  
• PWM4OUT  
• NCO1OUT  
• LC1OUT  
The CWGxDBR register sets the duration of the dead-  
band interval on the rising edge of the input source  
signal. This duration is from 0 to 64 counts of dead band.  
The input sources are selected using the GxIS<2:0>  
bits in the CWGxCON1 register (Register 26-2).  
Dead band is always counted off the edge on the input  
source signal. A count of 0 (zero), indicates that no  
dead band is present.  
26.4 Output Control  
If the input source signal is not present for enough time  
for the count to be completed, no output will be seen on  
the respective output.  
Immediately after the CWG module is enabled, the  
complementary drive is configured with both CWGxA  
and CWGxB drives cleared.  
26.4.1  
OUTPUT ENABLES  
Each CWG output pin has individual output enable  
control. Output enables are selected with the GxOEA  
and GxOEB bits of the CWGxCON0 register. When an  
output enable control is cleared, the module asserts no  
control over the pin. When an output enable is set, the  
override value or active PWM waveform is applied to  
the pin per the port priority selection. The output pin

26.7 Falling Edge Dead Band  
The falling edge dead band delays the turn-on of the  
CWGxB output from when the CWGxA output is turned  
off. The falling edge dead-band time starts when the  
falling edge of the input source goes true. When this  
happens, the CWGxA output is immediately turned off  
and the falling edge dead-band delay time starts. When  
the falling edge dead-band delay time is reached, the  
CWGxB output is turned on.  
The CWGxDBF register sets the duration of the dead-  
band interval on the falling edge of the input source sig-  
nal. This duration is from 0 to 64 counts of dead band.  
Dead band is always counted off the edge on the input  
source signal. A count of 0 (zero), indicates that no  
dead band is present.  
If the input source signal is not present for enough time  
for the count to be completed, no output will be seen on  
the respective output.  
Refer to Figure 26-3 and Figure 26-4 for examples.  
26.8 Dead-Band Uncertainty  
When the rising and falling edges of the input source  
triggers the dead-band counters, the input may be asyn-  
chronous. This will create some uncertainty in the dead-  
band time delay. The maximum uncertainty is equal to  
one CWG clock period. Refer to Equation 26-1 for more  
detail.

26.9 Auto-shutdown Control  
26.10 Operation During Sleep  
Auto-shutdown is a method to immediately override the  
CWG output levels with specific overrides that allow for  
safe shutdown of the circuit. The shutdown state can be  
either cleared automatically or held until cleared by  
software.  
The CWG module operates independently from the  
system clock and will continue to run during Sleep,  
provided that the clock and input sources selected  
remain active.  
The HFINTOSC remains active during Sleep, provided  
that the CWG module is enabled, the input source is  
active, and the HFINTOSC is selected as the clock  
source, regardless of the system clock source  
selected.  
26.9.1  
SHUTDOWN  
The shutdown state can be entered by either of the fol-  
lowing two methods:  
• Software generated  
• External Input  
In other words, if the HFINTOSC is simultaneously  
selected as the system clock and the CWG clock  
source, when the CWG is enabled and the input  
source is active, the CPU will go idle during Sleep, but  
the CWG will continue to operate and the HFINTOSC  
will remain active.  
26.9.1.1  
Software Generated Shutdown  
Setting the GxASE bit of the CWGxCON2 register will  
force the CWG into the shutdown state.  
When auto-restart is disabled, the shutdown state will  
persist as long as the GxASE bit is set.  
This will have a direct effect on the Sleep mode current.  
When auto-restart is enabled, the GxASE bit will clear  
automatically and resume operation on the next rising  
edge event. See Figure 26-6.  
26.9.1.2  
External Input Source  
External shutdown inputs provide the fastest way to  
safely suspend CWG operation in the event of a Fault  
condition. When any of the selected shutdown inputs  
goes active, the CWG outputs will immediately go to  
the selected override levels without software delay. Any  
combination of two input sources can be selected to  
cause a shutdown condition. The sources are:  
• async_C1OUT  
• async_C2OUT  
• LC2OUT  
• CWG1FLT  
Shutdown inputs are selected using the GxASDS0 and  
GxASDS1 bits of the CWGxCON2 register.  
(Register 26-3).  
Note:  
Shutdown inputs are level sensitive, not  
edge sensitive. The shutdown state can-  
not be cleared, except by disabling auto-  
shutdown, as long as the shutdown input  
level persists.

26.11.1 PIN OVERRIDE LEVELS  
26.11 Configuring the CWG  
The levels driven to the output pins, while the shutdown  
input is true, are controlled by the GxASDLA and  
GxASDLB bits of the CWGxCON2 register  
(Register 26-3). GxASDLA controls the CWG1A  
override level and GxASDLB controls the CWG1B  
override level. The control bit logic level corresponds to  
the output logic drive level while in the shutdown state.  
The polarity control does not apply to the override level.  
The following steps illustrate how to properly configure  
the CWG to ensure a synchronous start:  
1. Ensure that the TRIS control bits corresponding  
to CWGxA and CWGxB are set so that both are  
configured as inputs.  
2. Clear the GxEN bit, if not already cleared.  
3. Set desired dead-band times with the CWGxDBR  
and CWGxDBF registers.  
26.11.2 AUTO-SHUTDOWN RESTART  
4. Setup the following controls in CWGxCON2  
auto-shutdown register:  
After an auto-shutdown event has occurred, there are  
two ways to have resume operation:  
• Select desired shutdown source.  
• Select both output overrides to the desired  
levels (this is necessary even if not using  
auto-shutdown because start-up will be from  
a shutdown state).  
• Software controlled  
• Auto-restart  
The restart method is selected with the GxARSEN bit  
of the CWGxCON2 register. Waveforms of software  
controlled and automatic restarts are shown in  
Figure 26-5 and Figure 26-6.  
• Set the GxASE bit and clear the GxARSEN  
bit.  
5. Select the desired input source using the  
CWGxCON1 register.  
26.11.2.1 Software controlled restart  
6. Configure the following controls in CWGxCON0  
register:  
When the GxARSEN bit of the CWGxCON2 register is  
cleared, the CWG must be restarted after an auto-shut-  
down event by software.  
• Select desired clock source.  
• Select the desired output polarities.  
Clearing the shutdown state requires all selected shut-  
down inputs to be low, otherwise the GxASE bit will  
remain set. The overrides will remain in effect until the  
first rising edge event after the GxASE bit is cleared.  
The CWG will then resume operation.  
• Set the output enables for the outputs to be  
used.  
7. Set the GxEN bit.  
8. Clear TRIS control bits corresponding to  
CWGxA and CWGxB to be used to configure  
those pins as outputs.  
26.11.2.2 Auto-Restart  
When the GxARSEN bit of the CWGxCON2 register is  
set, the CWG will restart from the auto-shutdown state  
automatically.  
9. If auto-restart is to be used, set the GxARSEN  
bit and the GxASE bit will be cleared automati-  
cally. Otherwise, clear the GxASE bit to start the  
CWG.  
The GxASE bit will clear automatically when all shut-  
down sources go low. The overrides will remain in  
effect until the first rising edge event after the GxASE  
bit is cleared. The CWG will then resume operation.

27.3 Common Programming Interfaces  
27.0 IN-CIRCUIT SERIAL  
PROGRAMMING™ (ICSP™)  
Connection to a target device is typically done through  
an ICSP™ header. A commonly found connector on  
development tools is the RJ-11 in the 6P6C (6 pin, 6  
connector) configuration. See Figure 27-1.  
ICSP™ programming allows customers to manufacture  
circuit boards with unprogrammed devices. Programming  
can be done after the assembly process allowing the  
device to be programmed with the most recent firmware  
or a custom firmware. Five pins are needed for ICSP™  
programming:

• MCLR/VPP  
• VDD

VDD  
In Program/Verify mode the Program Memory, User IDs  
and the Configuration Words are programmed through  
serial communications. The ICSPDAT pin is a bidirec-  
tional I/O used for transferring the serial data and the  
ICSPCLK pin is the clock input. For more information on  
ICSP™ refer to the “PIC12(L)F1501/PIC16(L)F150X  
Memory Programming Specification” (DS41573).

27.1 High-Voltage Programming Entry  
Mode  
The device is placed into High-Voltage Programming  
Entry mode by holding the ICSPCLK and ICSPDAT  
pins low then raising the voltage on MCLR/VPP to VIHH.  
5 = ICSPCLK  
6 = No Connect  
27.2 Low-Voltage Programming Entry  
Mode  
Another connector often found in use with the PICkit™  
programmers is a standard 6-pin header with 0.1 inch  
spacing. Refer to Figure 27-2.  
The Low-Voltage Programming Entry mode allows the  
PIC Flash MCUs devices to be programmed using VDD  
only, without high voltage. When the LVP bit of  
Configuration Words is set to ‘1’, the low-voltage ICSP  
programming entry is enabled. To disable the  
Low-Voltage ICSP mode, the LVP bit must be  
programmed to ‘0’.  
Entry into the Low-Voltage Programming Entry mode  
requires the following steps:  
1. MCLR is brought to VIL.  
2.  
A
32-bit key sequence is presented on  
ICSPDAT, while clocking ICSPCLK.  
Once the key sequence is complete, MCLR must be  
held at VIL for as long as Program/Verify mode is to be  
maintained.  
If low-voltage programming is enabled (LVP = 1), the  
MCLR Reset function is automatically enabled and  
cannot be disabled. See Section 6.4 “MCLR” for more  
information.  
The LVP bit can only be reprogrammed to ‘0’ by using  
the High-Voltage Programming mode.

The 6-pin header (0.100" spacing) accepts 0.025" square pins.  
For additional interface recommendations, refer to your  
specific device programmer manual prior to PCB  
design.  
It is recommended that isolation devices be used to  
separate the programming pins from other circuitry.  
The type of isolation is highly dependent on the specific  
application and may include devices such as resistors,  
diodes, or even jumpers. See Figure 27-3 for more  
information.

28.1 Read-Modify-Write Operations  
28.0 INSTRUCTION SET SUMMARY  
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.  
Each PIC16 instruction is a 14-bit word containing the  
operation code (opcode) and all required operands.  
The op codes are broken into three broad categories.  
• Byte Oriented  
• Bit Oriented  
• Literal and Control  
The literal and control category contains the most var-  
ied instruction word format.  
TABLE 28-1: OPCODE FIELD  
DESCRIPTIONS  
Table 28-3 lists the instructions recognized by the  
MPASMTM assembler.  
Field  
Description  
All instructions are executed within a single instruction  
cycle, with the following exceptions, which may take  
two or three cycles:  
f
W
b
Register file address (0x00 to 0x7F)  
Working register (accumulator)  
Bit address within an 8-bit file register  
Literal field, constant data or label  
• Subroutine takes two cycles (CALL, CALLW)  
• Returns from interrupts or subroutines take two  
cycles (RETURN, RETLW, RETFIE)  
k
x
Don’t care location (= 0or 1).  
• Program branching takes two cycles (GOTO, BRA,  
BRW, BTFSS, BTFSC, DECFSZ, INCSFZ)  
• One additional instruction cycle will be used when  
any instruction references an indirect file register  
and the file select register is pointing to program  
memory.  
The assembler will generate code with x = 0.  
It is the recommended form of use for  
compatibility with all Microchip software tools.  
d
Destination select; d = 0: store result in W,  
d = 1: store result in file register f.  
Default is d = 1.  
One instruction cycle consists of 4 oscillator cycles; for  
an oscillator frequency of 4 MHz, this gives a nominal  
instruction execution rate of 1 MHz.  
n
FSR or INDF number. (0-1)  
mm  
Pre-post increment-decrement mode  
selection  
All instruction examples use the format ‘0xhh’ to  
represent a hexadecimal number, where ‘h’ signifies a  
hexadecimal digit.

Note 1: This is the limit to which VDD can be lowered in Sleep mode without losing RAM data.  
2: For proper operation, the minimum value of the ADC positive voltage reference must be 1.8V or greater. When selecting  
the FVR or the VREF+ pin as the source of the ADC positive voltage reference, be aware that the voltage must be 1.8V or  
greater.

These parameters are characterized but not tested.  
Data in “Typ” column is at 3.0V, 25°C unless otherwise stated. These parameters are for design guidance only and are not  
tested.  
Note 1: The test conditions for all IDD measurements in active operation mode are: CLKIN = external square wave, from  
rail-to-rail; all I/O pins tri-stated, pulled to VDD; MCLR = VDD; WDT disabled.  
2: The supply current is mainly a function of the operating voltage and frequency. Other factors, such as I/O pin loading  
and switching rate, oscillator type, internal code execution pattern and temperature, also have an impact on the current  
consumption.  
3: For RC oscillator configurations, current through REXT is not included. The current through the resistor can be extended  
by the formula IR = VDD/2REXT (mA) with REXT in k.

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

These parameters are characterized but not tested.  
Data in “Typ” column is at 3.0V, 25°C unless otherwise stated. These parameters are for design guidance only and are not  
tested.  
Note 1: Instruction cycle period (TCY) equals four times the input oscillator time base period. All specified values are based on  
characterization data for that particular oscillator type under standard operating conditions with the device executing code.  
Exceeding these specified limits may result in an unstable oscillator operation and/or higher than expected current con-  
sumption. All devices are tested to operate at “min” values with an external clock applied to CLKIN pin. When an external  
clock input is used, the “max” cycle time limit is “DC” (no clock) for all devices.

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

2: A Fast mode (400 kHz) I2Cbus 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.

31.2 MPLAB C Compilers for Various  
Device Families  
31.5 MPLINK Object Linker/  
MPLIB Object Librarian  
The MPLAB C Compiler code development systems  
are complete ANSI C compilers for Microchip’s PIC18,  
PIC24 and PIC32 families of microcontrollers and the  
dsPIC30 and dsPIC33 families of digital signal control-  
lers. These compilers provide powerful integration  
capabilities, superior code optimization and ease of  
use.  
The MPLINK Object Linker combines relocatable  
objects created by the MPASM Assembler and the  
MPLAB C18 C Compiler. It can link relocatable objects  
from precompiled libraries, using directives from a  
linker script.  
The MPLIB Object Librarian manages the creation and  
modification of library files of precompiled code. When  
a routine from a library is called from a source file, only  
the modules that contain that routine will be linked in  
with the application. This allows large libraries to be  
used efficiently in many different applications.  
For easy source level debugging, the compilers provide  
symbol information that is optimized to the MPLAB IDE  
debugger.  
31.3 HI-TECH C for Various Device  
Families

• Efficient linking of single libraries instead of many  
smaller files  
The HI-TECH C Compiler code development systems  
are complete ANSI C compilers for Microchip’s PIC  
family of microcontrollers and the dsPIC family of digital  
signal controllers. These compilers provide powerful  
integration capabilities, omniscient code generation  
and ease of use.  
• Enhanced code maintainability by grouping  
related modules together  
• Flexible creation of libraries with easy module  
listing, replacement, deletion and extraction  
31.6 MPLAB Assembler, Linker and  
Librarian for Various Device  
Families  
For easy source level debugging, the compilers provide  
symbol information that is optimized to the MPLAB IDE  
debugger.  
The compilers include a macro assembler, linker, pre-  
processor, and one-step driver, and can run on multiple  
platforms.  
MPLAB Assembler produces relocatable machine  
code from symbolic assembly language for PIC24,  
PIC32 and dsPIC devices. MPLAB C Compiler uses  
the assembler to produce its object file. The assembler  
generates relocatable object files that can then be  
archived or linked with other relocatable object files and  
archives to create an executable file. Notable features  
of the assembler include:  
31.4 MPASM Assembler  
The MPASM Assembler is a full-featured, universal  
macro assembler for PIC10/12/16/18 MCUs.  
The MPASM Assembler generates relocatable object  
files for the MPLINK Object Linker, Intel® standard HEX  
files, MAP files to detail memory usage and symbol  
reference, absolute LST files that contain source lines  
and generated machine code and COFF files for  
debugging.  
• Support for the entire device instruction set  
• Support for fixed-point and floating-point data  
• Command line interface  
• Rich directive set  
• Flexible macro language  
The MPASM Assembler features include:  
• Integration into MPLAB IDE projects
