Data Memory Organization

MEMORY ORGANIZATION  
There are three memory blocks in each of these  
PICmicro® MCUs. The Program Memory and Data  
Memory have separate buses, so that concurrent  
access can occur, and is detailed in this section. The  
EEPROM data memory block is detailed in  
Section 4.0.  
The data memory is partitioned into multiple banks  
which contain the General Purpose Registers and the  
Special Function Registers. Bits RP1(STATUS<6>) and  
RP0 (STATUS<5>) are the bank select bits.

2.1  
Program Memory Organization  
Each bank extends up to 7Fh (128 bytes). The lower  
locations of each bank are reserved for the Special  
Function Registers. Above the Special Function Regis-  
ters are General Purpose Registers, implemented as  
static RAM. All implemented banks contain Special  
Function Registers. Some “high use” Special Function  
Registers from one bank may be mirrored in another  
bank for code reduction and quicker access.  
The PIC16F870/871 devices have a 13-bit program  
counter capable of addressing an 8K x 14 program  
memory space. The PIC16F870/871 devices have 2K  
x 14 words of FLASH program memory. Accessing a  
location above the physically implemented address will  
cause a wraparound.  
The reset vector is at 0000h and the interrupt vector is  
at 0004h.  
Note: EEPROM Data Memory description can be  
found in Section 4.0 of this Data Sheet

SPECIAL FUNCTION REGISTERS  
The Special Function Registers can be classified into  
two sets; core (CPU) and peripheral. Those registers  
associated with the core functions are described in  
detail in this section. Those related to the operation of  
the peripheral features are described in detail in the  
peripheral feature section.  
The Special Function Registers are registers used by  
the CPU and peripheral modules for controlling the  
desired operation of the device. These registers are  
implemented as static RAM. A list of these registers is  
given in Table 2-1.

STATUS REGISTER  
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).  
The STATUS Register contains the arithmetic status of  
the ALU, the RESET status and the bank select bits for  
data memory.  
It is recommended, therefore, that only BCF, BSF,  
SWAPF and MOVWF instructions are used to alter the  
STATUS register, because these instructions do not  
affect the Z, C or DC bits from the STATUS Register.  
For other instructions not affecting any status bits, see  
the "Instruction Set Summary."  
The STATUS Register can be the destination for any  
instruction, as with any other register. If the STATUS  
Register is the destination for an instruction that affects  
the Z, DC or C bits, then the write to these three bits is  
disabled. These bits are set or cleared according to the  
device logic. Furthermore, the TO and PD bits are not  
writable, therefore, the result of an instruction with the  
STATUS Register as destination may be different than  
intended.  
Note 1: The C and DC bits operate as a borrow  
and digit borrow bit, respectively, in sub-  
traction. See the SUBLW and SUBWF  
instructions for examples.

PCL and PCLATH  
Note 1: There are no status bits to indicate stack  
overflow or stack underflow conditions.  
The Program Counter (PC) is 13-bits wide. The low  
byte comes from the PCL Register, which is a readable  
and writable register. The upper bits (PC<12:8>) are  
not readable, but are indirectly writable through the  
PCLATH register. On any reset, the upper bits of the PC  
will be cleared. Figure 2-3 shows the two situations for  
the loading of the PC. The upper example in the figure  
shows how the PC is loaded on a write to PCL  
(PCLATH<4:0> PCH). The lower example in the fig-  
ure shows how the PC is loaded during a CALLor GOTO  
instruction (PCLATH<4:3> PCH).  
2: There are no instructions/mnemonics  
called PUSHor POP. These are actions that  
occur from the execution of the CALL,  
RETURN, RETLW and RETFIE instruc-  
tions or the vectoring to an interrupt  
address.  
2.4  
Program Memory Paging  
The PIC16FXXX architecture is capable of addressing  
a continuous 8K word block of program memory. The  
CALL and GOTO instructions provide 11 bits of the  
address, which allows branches within any 2K program  
memory page. Therefore, the 8K words of program  
memory are broken into four pages. Since the  
PIC16F872 has only 2K words of program memory or  
one page, additional code is not required to ensure that  
the correct page is selected before a CALL or GOTO  
instruction is executed. The PCLATH<4:3> bits should  
always be maintained as zeros. If a return from a CALL  
instruction (or interrupt) is executed, the entire 13-bit  
PC is popped off the stack. Manipulation of the  
PCLATH is not required for the return instructions.

Indirect addressing is possible by using the INDF Reg-  
ister. Any instruction using the INDF Register actually  
accesses the register pointed to by the File Select Reg-  
ister, FSR. Reading the INDF Register itself indirectly  
(FSR = ’0’) will read 00h. Writing to the INDF Register  
indirectly results in a no-operation (although status bits  
may be affected). An effective 9-bit address is obtained  
by concatenating the 8-bit FSR Register and the IRP bit  
(STATUS<7>), as shown in Figure 2-4.  
2.3.1  
COMPUTED GOTO  
A computed GOTOis accomplished by adding an offset  
to the program counter (ADDWF PCL). When doing a  
table read using a computed GOTO method, care  
should be exercised if the table location crosses a PCL  
memory boundary (each 256 byte block). Refer to the  
A simple program to clear RAM locations 20h-2Fh  
using indirect addressing is shown in Example 2-1.

The PIC16FXXX family has an 8-level deep x 13-bit  
wide hardware stack. The stack space is not part of  
either program or data space and the stack pointer is  
not readable or writable. The PC is PUSHed onto the  
stack when a CALLinstruction is executed or an inter-  
rupt causes a branch. The stack is POPed in the event  
of a RETURN,RETLW or a RETFIE instruction execu-  
tion. PCLATH is not affected by a PUSHor POPopera-  
tion.  
NEXT  
CONTINUE  
:
;yes continue  
The stack operates as a circular buffer. This means that  
after the stack has been PUSHed eight times, the ninth  
push overwrites the value that was stored from the first  
push. The tenth push overwrites the second push (and  
so on).

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, the value is modified and then written to the port  
data latch.

Pin RA4 is multiplexed with the Timer0 module clock  
input to become the RA4/T0CKI pin. The RA4/T0CKI  
pin is a Schmitt Trigger input and an open drain output.  
All other PORTA pins have TTL input levels and full  
CMOS output drivers.

Note 1: I/O pins have protection diodes to VDD and VSS.  
Other PORTA pins are multiplexed with analog inputs  
and analog VREF input. The operation of each pin is  
selected by clearing/setting the control bits in the  
ADCON1 Register (A/D Control Register1).

This interrupt can wake the device from SLEEP. The  
user, in the interrupt service routine, can clear the inter-  
rupt in the following manner:  
3.2  
PORTB and the TRISB Register  
PORTB is an 8-bit wide, bi-directional port. The corre-  
sponding data direction register is TRISB. Setting a  
TRISB bit (=1) will make the corresponding PORTB pin  
an input (i.e., put the corresponding output driver in a  
hi-impedance mode). Clearing a TRISB bit (=0) will  
make the corresponding PORTB pin an output (i.e., put  
the contents of the output latch on the selected pin).  
a) Any read or write of PORTB. This will end the  
mismatch condition.  
b) Clear flag bit RBIF.  
A mismatch condition will continue to set flag bit RBIF.  
Reading PORTB will end the mismatch condition and  
allow flag bit RBIF to be cleared.  
Three pins of PORTB are multiplexed with the Low Volt-  
age Programming function; RB3/PGM, RB6/PGC and  
RB7/PGD. The alternate functions of these pins are  
described in the Special Features Section.  
The interrupt on change feature is recommended for  
wake-up on key depression operation and operations  
where PORTB is only used for the interrupt on change  
feature. Polling of PORTB is not recommended while  
using the interrupt on change feature.  
Each of the PORTB pins has a weak internal pull-up. A  
single control bit can turn on all the pull-ups. This is per-  
formed by clearing bit RBPU (OPTION_REG<7>). The  
weak pull-up is automatically turned off when the port  
pin is configured as an output. The pull-ups are dis-  
abled on a Power-on Reset.  
This interrupt on mismatch feature, together with soft-  
ware configurable pull-ups on these four pins, allow  
easy interface to a keypad and make it possible for  
wake-up on key-depression. Refer to the Embedded  
Control Handbook, “Implementing Wake-Up on Key  
Stroke” (AN552).

Four of PORTB’s pins, RB7:RB4, have an interrupt on  
change feature. Only pins configured as inputs can  
cause this interrupt to occur (i.e. any RB7:RB4 pin con-  
figured as an output is excluded from the interrupt on  
change comparison). The input pins (of RB7:RB4) are  
compared with the old value latched on the last read of  
PORTB. The “mismatch” outputs of RB7:RB4 are  
OR’ed together to generate the RB Port Change Inter-  
rupt with flag bit RBIF (INTCON<0>).

PORTC and the TRISC Register  
PORTC is an 8-bit wide, bi-directional port. The corre-  
sponding data direction register is TRISC. Setting a  
TRISC bit (=1) will make the corresponding PORTC pin  
an input (i.e., put the corresponding output driver in a  
hi-impedance mode). Clearing a TRISC bit (=0) will  
make the corresponding PORTC pin an output (i.e., put  
the contents of the output latch on the selected pin).  
PORTC is multiplexed with several peripheral functions  
(Table 3-5). PORTC pins have Schmitt Trigger input  
buffers.  
When enabling peripheral functions, care should be  
taken in defining TRIS bits for each PORTC pin. Some  
peripherals override the TRIS bit to make a pin an out-  
put, while other peripherals override the TRIS bit to  
make a pin an input. Since the TRIS bit override is in  
effect while the peripheral is enabled, read-modify-  
write instructions (BSF, BCF, XORWF) with TRISC as  
destination should be avoided. The user should refer to  
the corresponding peripheral section for the correct  
TRIS bit settings.

The Parallel Slave Port is not implemented on the  
PIC16F870.  
PORTD operates as an 8-bit wide Parallel Slave Port or  
microprocessor port when control bit PSPMODE  
(TRISE<4>) is set. In slave mode, it is asynchronously  
readable and writable by the external world through RD  
control input pin RE0/RD and WR control input pin  
RE1/WR.

It can directly interface to an 8-bit microprocessor data  
bus. The external microprocessor can read or write the  
PORTD latch as an 8-bit latch. Setting bit PSPMODE  
enables port pin RE0/RD to be the RD input, RE1/WR  
to be the WR input and RE2/CS to be the CS (chip  
select) input. For this functionality, the corresponding  
data direction bits of the TRISE register (TRISE<2:0>)  
must be configured as inputs (set). The A/D port con-  
figuration bits PCFG3:PCFG0 (ADCON1<3:0>) must  
be set to configure pins RE2:RE0 as digital I/O.

There are actually two 8-bit latches. One for data-out  
and one for data input. The user writes 8-bit data to the  
PORTD data latch and reads data from the port pin  
latch (note that they have the same address). In this  
mode, the TRISD register is ignored, since the micro-  
processor is controlling the direction of data flow.

A write to the PSP occurs when both the CS and WR  
lines are first detected low. When either the CS or WR  
lines become high (level triggered), the Input Buffer Full  
(IBF) status flag bit (TRISE<7>) is set on the Q4 clock  
cycle, following the next Q2 cycle, to signal the write is  
complete (Figure 3-9). The interrupt flag bit PSPIF  
(PIR1<7>) is also set on the same Q4 clock cycle. IBF  
can only be cleared by reading the PORTD input latch.  
The Input Buffer Overflow (IBOV) status flag bit  
(TRISE<5>) is set if a second write to the PSP is  
attempted when the previous byte has not been read  
out of the buffer.  
Note: I/O pin has protection diodes to VDD and VSS.  
A read from the PSP occurs when both the CS and RD  
lines are first detected low. The Output Buffer Full  
(OBF) status flag bit (TRISE<6>) is cleared immedi-  
ately (Figure 3-10) indicating that the PORTD latch is  
waiting to be read by the external bus. When either the  
CS or RD pin becomes high (level triggered), the inter-  
rupt flag bit PSPIF is set on the Q4 clock cycle, follow-  
ing the next Q2 cycle, indicating that the read is  
complete. OBF remains low until data is written to  
PORTD by the user firmware.  
When not in PSP mode, the IBF and OBF bits are held  
clear. However, if flag bit IBOV was previously set, it  
must be cleared in firmware.  
An interrupt is generated and latched into flag bit  
PSPIF when a read or write operation is completed.  
PSPIF must be cleared by the user in firmware and the  
interrupt can be disabled by clearing the interrupt  
enable bit PSPIE (PIE1<7>).

The value written to program memory does not need to  
be a valid instruction. Therefore, up to 14-bit numbers  
can be stored in memory for use as calibration param-  
eters, serial numbers, packed 7-bit ASCII, etc. Execut-  
ing a program memory location containing data that  
forms an invalid instruction results in a NOP.

DATA EEPROM AND FLASH  
PROGRAM MEMORY  
The Data EEPROM and FLASH Program Memory are  
readable and writable during normal operation over the  
entire VDD range. A bulk erase operation may not be  
issued from user code (which includes removing code  
protection). The data memory is not directly mapped in  
4.1  
EEADR  
the register file space.  
addressed through the Special Function Registers  
(SFR).  
Instead, it is indirectly  
The address registers can address up to a maximum of  
256 bytes of data EEPROM or up to a maximum of 8K  
words of program FLASH. However, the PIC16F870/  
871 have 64 bytes of data EEPROM and 2K words of  
program FLASH.  
There are six SFRs used to read and write the program  
and data EEPROM memory. These registers are:  
• EECON1  
• EECON2  
• EEDATA  
• EEDATH  
• EEADR  
When selecting a program address value, the MSByte  
of the address is written to the EEADRH register and  
the LSByte is written to the EEADR register. When  
selecting a data address value, only the LSByte of the  
address is written to the EEADR register.  
On the PIC16F870/871 devices, the upper two bits of  
the EEADR must always be cleared to prevent inad-  
vertent access to the wrong location in data EEPROM.  
This also applies to the program memory. The upper  
five MSbits of EEADRH must always be clear during  
program FLASH access.  
• EEADRH  
The EEPROM data memory allows byte read and write.  
When interfacing to the data memory block, EEDATA  
holds the 8-bit data for read/write and EEADR holds the  
address of the EEPROM location being accessed. The  
registers EEDATH and EEADRH are not used for data  
EEPROM access. The PIC16F870/871 devices have  
64 bytes of data EEPROM with an address range from  
0h to 3Fh.  
4.2  
EECON1 and EECON2 Registers  
EECON1 is the control register for memory accesses.  
EECON2 is not a physical register. Reading EECON2  
will read all '0's. The EECON2 register is used  
exclusively in the memory write sequence.  
The EEPROM data memory is rated for high erase/  
write cycles. The write time is controlled by an on-chip  
timer. The write time will vary with voltage and temper-  
ature, as well as from chip-to-chip. Please refer to the  
specifications for exact limits.  
Control bit EEPGD determines if the access will be a  
program or a data memory access. When clear, any  
subsequent operations will operate on the data mem-  
ory. When set, any subsequent operations will operate  
on the program memory.  
The program memory allows word reads and writes.  
Program memory access allows for checksum calcula-  
tion and calibration table storage. A byte or word write  
automatically erases the location and writes the new  
data (erase before write). Writing to program memory  
will cease operation until the write is complete. The pro-  
gram memory cannot be accessed during the write,  
therefore code cannot execute. During the write opera-  
tion, the oscillator continues to clock the peripherals,  
and therefore, they continue to operate. Interrupt  
events will be detected and essentially “queued” until  
the write is completed. When the write completes, the  
next instruction in the pipeline is executed and the  
branch to the interrupt vector address will occur.  
Control bits RD and WR initiate read and write opera-  
tions, respectively. These bits cannot be cleared, only  
set, in software. They are cleared in hardware at the  
completion of the read or write operation. The inability  
to clear the WR bit in software prevents the accidental  
or premature termination of a write operation.  
The WREN bit, when set, will allow a write operation.  
On power-up, the WREN bit is clear. The WRERR bit is  
set when a write operation is interrupted by a MCLR  
reset or a WDT time-out reset during normal operation.  
In these situations, following reset, the user can check  
the WRERR bit and rewrite the location. The value of  
the data and address registers and the EEPGD bit  
remains unchanged.  
When interfacing to the program memory block, the  
EEDATH:EEDATA registers form a two byte word,  
which holds the 14-bit data for read/write. The  
EEADRH:EEADR registers form a two byte word,  
which holds the 13-bit address of the FLASH location  
being accessed. The PIC16F870/871 devices have 2K  
words of program FLASH with an address range from  
0h to 7FFh. The unused upper bits in both the EEDATH  
and EEDATA registers all read as “0’s”.  
Interrupt flag bit EEIF, in the PIR2 register, is set when  
write is complete. It must be cleared in software.

To read a data memory location, the user must write the  
address to the EEADR register, clear the EEPGD con-  
trol bit (EECON1<7>) and then set control bit RD  
(EECON1<0>). The data is available in the very next  
instruction cycle of the EEDATA register, therefore it  
can be read by the next instruction. EEDATA will hold  
this value until another read operation or until it is writ-  
ten to by the user (during a write operation).

Writing to the Data EEPROM Memory  
To write an EEPROM data location, the address must  
first be written to the EEADR register and the data writ-

is set. The WREN bit must be set on a previous instruc-  
tion. Both WR and WREN cannot be set with the same  
instruction.  
At the completion of the write cycle, the WR bit is  
cleared in hardware and the EEPROM Write Complete  
Interrupt Flag bit (EEIF) is set. EEIF must be cleared by  
software.  
Additionally, the WREN bit in EECON1 must be set to  
enable writes. This mechanism prevents accidental  
writes to data EEPROM due to unexpected code exe-  
cution (i.e., runaway programs). The WREN bit should  
be kept clear at all times, except when updating the  
EEPROM. The WREN bit is not cleared by hardware  
After a write sequence has been initiated, clearing the  
WREN bit will not affect the current write cycle. The WR  
bit will be inhibited from being set unless the WREN bit

data is available in the EEDATA and EEDATH registers  
after the second NOP instruction. Therefore, it can be  
read as two bytes in the following instructions. The  
EEDATA and EEDATH registers will hold this value until  
another read operation or until it is written to by the user  
(during a write operation).  
4.5  
Reading the FLASH Program Memory  
A program memory location may be read by writing two  
bytes of the address to the EEADR and EEADRH reg-  
isters, setting the EEPGD control bit (EECON1<7>)  
and then setting control bit RD (EECON1<0>). Once  
the read control bit is set, the microcontroller will use  
the next two instruction cycles to read the data. The

(EECON1<1>). The sequence in Example 4-4 must be  
followed to initiate a write to program memory.  
4.6  
Writing to the FLASH Program  
Memory  
When the PIC16F870/871 are fully code protected or  
not code protected, a word of the FLASH program  
memory may be written provided the WRT configura-  
tion bit is set. If the PIC16F870/871 are partially code  
protected, then a word of FLASH program memory  
may be written if the word is in a non-code protected  
segment of memory and the WRT configuration bit is  
set. To write a FLASH program location, the first two  
bytes of the address must be written to the EEADR and  
EEADRH registers and two bytes of the data to the  
EEDATA and EEDATH registers, set the EEPGD con-  
The microcontroller will then halt internal operations  
during the next two instruction cycles for the TPEW  
(parameter D133) in which the write takes place. This  
is not SLEEP mode, as the clocks and peripherals will  
continue to run. Therefore, the two instructions follow-  
ing the “BSF EECON, WR” should be NOPinstructions.  
After the write cycle, the microcontroller will resume  
operation with the 3rd instruction after the EECON1  
write instruction.

Write Verify  
4.9  
Operation during Code Protect  
Depending on the application, good programming prac-  
tice may dictate that the value written to the memory  
should be verified against the original value. This  
should be used in applications where excessive writes  
can stress bits near the specification limit.  
Each reprogrammable memory block has its own code  
protect mechanism. External Read and Write opera-  
tions are disabled if either of these mechanisms are  
enabled.  
4.9.1  
DATA EEPROM MEMORY  
Generally a write failure will be a bit which was written  
as a ’1’, but reads back as a ’0’ (due to leakage off the  
bit).  
The microcontroller itself can both read and write to the  
internal Data EEPROM, regardless of the state of the  
code protect configuration bit.  
4.8  
Protection Against Spurious Write  
When data memory is code protected (CONFIG<8>=0)  
any further external programming access of program  
memory is disabled. To reenable programming access  
to program memory, both bulk erase and removal of  
code protection must be performed on program and  
data memory.  
4.8.1  
EEPROM DATA MEMORY  
There are conditions when the device may not want to  
write to the data EEPROM memory. To protect against  
spurious EEPROM writes, various mechanisms have  
been built-in. On power-up, the WREN bit is cleared.  
Also, the Power-up Timer (72 ms duration) prevents  
EEPROM write.  
4.9.2  
PROGRAM FLASH MEMORY  
The microcontroller can read and execute instructions  
out of the internal FLASH program memory, regardless  
of the state of the code protect configuration bits. How-  
ever, the WRT configuration bit and the code protect  
bits have different effects on writing to program mem-  
ory. Table 4-1 shows the various configurations and  
status of reads and writes. To erase the WRT or code  
protection bits in the configuration word requires that  
the device be fully erased.  
The write initiate sequence and the WREN bit together  
help prevent an accidental write during brown-out,  
power glitch, or software malfunction.  
4.8.2  
PROGRAM FLASH MEMORY  
To protect against spurious writes to FLASH program  
memory, the WRT bit in the configuration word may be  
programmed to ‘0’ to prevent writes. The write initiate  
sequence must also be followed. WRT and the configu-  
ration word cannot be programmed by user code, only  
through the use of an external programmer.

Counter mode is selected by setting bit T0CS  
(OPTION_REG<5>). In counter mode, Timer0 will  
increment either on every rising or falling edge of pin  
RA4/T0CKI. The incrementing edge is determined by  
the Timer0 Source Edge Select bit T0SE  
(OPTION_REG<4>). Clearing bit T0SE selects the ris-  
ing edge. Restrictions on the external clock input are  
discussed in detail in Section 5.2.

TIMER0 MODULE  
The Timer0 module timer/counter has the following fea-  
tures:  
• 8-bit timer/counter  
• Readable and writable  
• 8-bit software programmable prescaler  
• Internal or external clock select  
• Interrupt on overflow from FFh to 00h  
• Edge select for external clock  
The prescaler is mutually exclusively shared between  
the Timer0 module and the watchdog timer. The pres-  
caler is not readable or writable. Section 5.3 details the  
operation of the prescaler.  
Figure 5-1 is a block diagram of the Timer0 module and  
the prescaler shared with the WDT.  
5.1  
Timer0 Interrupt  
Additional information on the Timer0 module is available  
in the PICmicro™ Mid-Range MCU Family Reference  
Manual (DS33023).  
The TMR0 interrupt is generated when the TMR0 reg-  
ister overflows from FFh to 00h. This overflow sets bit  
T0IF (INTCON<2>). The interrupt can be masked by  
clearing bit T0IE (INTCON<5>). Bit T0IF must be  
cleared in software by the Timer0 module interrupt ser-  
vice routine before re-enabling this interrupt. The  
TMR0 interrupt cannot awaken the processor from  
SLEEP since the timer is shut off during SLEEP.  
Timer mode is selected by clearing bit T0CS  
(OPTION_REG<5>). In timer mode, the Timer0 mod-  
ule will increment every instruction cycle (without pres-  
caler). If the TMR0 register is written, the increment is  
inhibited for the following two instruction cycles. The  
user can work around this by writing an adjusted value  
to the TMR0 register.

module means that there is no prescaler for the watch-  
dog timer, and vice-versa. This prescaler is not readable  
or writable (see Figure 5-1).  
5.2  
Using Timer0 with an External Clock  
When no prescaler is used, the external clock input is  
the same as the prescaler output. The synchronization  
of T0CKI with the internal phase clocks is accom-  
plished by sampling the prescaler output on the Q2 and  
Q4 cycles of the internal phase clocks. Therefore, it is  
necessary for T0CKI to be high for at least 2Tosc (and  
a small RC delay of 20 ns) and low for at least 2Tosc  
(and a small RC delay of 20 ns). Refer to the electrical  
specification of the desired device.  
The PSA and PS2:PS0 bits (OPTION_REG<3:0>) deter-  
mine the prescaler assignment and prescale ratio.  
When assigned to the Timer0 module, all instructions  
writing to the TMR0 register (e.g. CLRF1, MOVWF1,  
BSF1,x....etc.) will clear the prescaler. When assigned  
to WDT, a CLRWDT instruction will clear the prescaler  
along with the Watchdog Timer. The prescaler is not  
readable or writable.  
5.3  
Prescaler  
Note: Writing to TMR0, when the prescaler is  
assigned to Timer0, will clear the prescaler  
count, but will not change the prescaler  
assignment.  
There is only one prescaler available, which is mutually

In timer mode, Timer1 increments every instruction  
cycle. In counter mode, it increments on every rising  
edge of the external clock input.  
6.0  
TIMER1 MODULE  
The Timer1 module is a 16-bit timer/counter consisting  
of two 8-bit registers (TMR1H and TMR1L), which are  
readable and writable. The TMR1 Register pair  
(TMR1H:TMR1L) increments from 0000h to FFFFh  
and rolls over to 0000h. The TMR1 Interrupt, if enabled,  
is generated on overflow, which is latched in interrupt  
flag bit TMR1IF (PIR1<0>). This interrupt can be  
enabled/disabled by setting/clearing TMR1 interrupt  
enable bit TMR1IE (PIE1<0>).  
Timer1 can be enabled/disabled by setting/clearing  
control bit TMR1ON (T1CON<0>).  
Timer1 also has an internal “reset input”. This reset can  
be generated by the CCP module (Section 8.0).  
Register 6-1 shows the Timer1 control register.  
When the Timer1 oscillator is enabled (T1OSCEN is  
set), the RC1/T1OSI and RC0/T1OSO/T1CKI pins  
become inputs. That is, the TRISC<1:0> value is  
ignored.  
Timer1 can operate in one of two modes:  
• As a timer  
Additional information on timer modules is available in  
the PICmicro™ Mid-range MCU Family Reference  
Manual (DS33023).  
• As a counter  
The operating mode is determined by the clock select  
bit, TMR1CS (T1CON<1>).

Timer1 Operation in Timer Mode  
6.2  
Timer1 Counter Operation  
Timer mode is selected by clearing the TMR1CS  
(T1CON<1>) bit. In this mode, the input clock to the  
timer is FOSC/4. The synchronize control bit T1SYNC  
(T1CON<2>) has no effect since the internal clock is  
always in sync.  
Timer1 may operate in asynchronous or usynchronous  
mode depending on the setting of the TMR1CS bit.  
When Timer1 is being incremented via an external  
source, increments occur on a rising edge. After  
Timer1 is enabled in counter mode, the module must  
first have a falling edge before the counter begins to  
increment.  
FIGURE 6-1: TIMER1 INCREMENTING EDGE  
T1CKI  
(Default high)  
T1CKI  
(Default low)  
Note: Arrows indicate counter increments.  
If T1SYNC is cleared, then the external clock input is  
synchronized with internal phase clocks. The synchro-  
nization is done after the prescaler stage. The pres-  
caler stage is an asynchronous ripple-counter.  
6.3  
Timer1 Operation in Synchronized  
Counter Mode  
Counter mode is selected by setting bit TMR1CS. In  
this mode, the timer increments on every rising edge of  
clock input on pin RC1/T1OSI, when bit T1OSCEN is  
set, or on pin RC0/T1OSO/T1CKI, when bit T1OSCEN  
is cleared.  
In this configuration, during SLEEP mode, Timer1 will  
not increment even if the external clock is present,  
since the synchronization circuit is shut off. The pres-  
caler however will continue to increment.

If control bit T1SYNC (T1CON<2>) is set, the external  
clock input is not synchronized. The timer continues to  
increment asynchronous to the internal phase clocks.  
The timer will continue to run during SLEEP and can  
generate an interrupt on overflow, which will wake-up  
the processor. However, special precautions in soft-  
ware are needed to read/write the timer (Section 6.4.1).

READING AND WRITING TIMER1 IN  
ASYNCHRONOUS COUNTER MODE  
Note 1: Higher capacitance increases the stability of  
oscillator, but also increases the start-up time.  
2: Since each resonator/crystal has its own charac-  
teristics, the user should consult the resonator/  
crystal manufacturer for appropriate values of  
external components.  
Reading TMR1H or TMR1L while the timer is running  
from an external asynchronous clock will guarantee 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.  
6.6  
Resetting Timer1 using CCP1 Trigger  
Output  
For writes, it is recommended that the user simply stop  
the timer and write the desired values. A write conten-  
tion may occur by writing to the timer registers, while  
the register is incrementing. This may produce an  
unpredictable value in the timer register.  
If the CCP1 module is configured in compare mode to  
generate a “special event trigger” (CCP1M<3:0> =  
1011), this signal will reset Timer1.  
Note: The special event trigger from the CCP1  
module will not set interrupt flag bit  
TMR1IF (PIR1<0>).  
Reading the 16-bit value requires some care. Examples  
12-2 and 12-3 in the PICmicro™ Mid-Range MCU Fam-  
ily Reference Manual (DS33023) show how to read and  
write Timer1 when it is running in asynchronous mode.  
Timer1 must be configured for either timer or synchro-  
nized counter mode to take advantage of this feature. If  
Timer1 is running in asynchronous counter mode, this  
reset operation may not work.  
6.5  
Timer1 Oscillator  
A crystal oscillator circuit is built-in between pins T1OSI  
(input) and T1OSO (amplifier output). It is enabled by  
setting control bit T1OSCEN (T1CON<3>). The oscilla-  
tor is a low power oscillator rated up to 200 kHz. It will  
continue to run during SLEEP. It is primarily intended  
for use with a 32 kHz crystal. Table 6-1 shows the  
capacitor selection for the Timer1 oscillator.  
In the event that a write to Timer1 coincides with a spe-  
cial event trigger from CCP1, the write will take prece-  
dence.  
In this mode of operation, the CCPR1H:CCPR1L regis-  
ter pair effectively becomes the period register for  
Timer1.  
The Timer1 oscillator is identical to the LP oscillator.  
The user must provide a software time delay to ensure  
proper oscillator start-up.  
6.7  
Resetting of Timer1 Register Pair  
(TMR1H, TMR1L)  
TMR1H and TMR1L registers are not reset to 00h on a  
POR or any other reset except by the CCP1 special  
event trigger.  
T1CON register is reset to 00h on a Power-on Reset or  
a Brown-out Reset, which shuts off the timer and  
leaves a 1:1 prescale. In all other resets, the register is  
unaffected.  
6.8  
Timer1 Prescaler  
The prescaler counter is cleared on writes to the  
TMR1H or TMR1L registers.

Timer2 Prescaler and Postscaler  
7.0  
TIMER2 MODULE  
Timer2 is an 8-bit timer with a prescaler and a  
postscaler. It can be used as the PWM time-base for  
the PWM mode of the CCP module(s). The TMR2 reg-  
ister is readable and writable, and is cleared on any  
device reset.  
The prescaler and postscaler counters are cleared  
when any of the following occurs:  
• a write to the TMR2 register  
• a write to the T2CON register  
• any device reset (POR, MCLR reset, WDT reset  
or BOR)  
The input clock (FOSC/4) has a prescale option of 1:1,  
1:4

1:16,

bits  
TMR2 is not cleared when T2CON is written.  
T2CKPS1:T2CKPS0 (T2CON<1:0>).  
The Timer2 module has an 8-bit period register PR2.  
Timer2 increments from 00h until it matches PR2 and  
then resets to 00h on the next increment cycle. PR2 is  
a readable and writable register. The PR2 register is ini-  
tialized to FFh upon reset.  
7.2  
Output of TMR2  
The output of TMR2 (before the postscaler) is fed to the  
SSPort module, which optionally uses it to generate  
shift clock.  
The match output of TMR2 goes through a 4-bit  
postscaler (which gives a 1:1 to 1:16 scaling inclusive)  
to generate a TMR2 interrupt (latched in flag bit  
TMR2IF, (PIR1<1>)).

TIMER1 MODE SELECTION  
8.1  
Capture Mode  
Timer1 must be running in timer mode or synchronized  
counter mode for the CCP module to use the capture  
feature. In asynchronous counter mode, the capture  
operation may not work.  
In Capture mode, CCPR1H:CCPR1L captures the  
16-bit value of the TMR1 register when an event occurs  
on pin RC2/CCP1. An event is defined as:  
• Every falling edge  
• Every rising edge  
8.1.3  
SOFTWARE INTERRUPT  
• Every 4th rising edge  
• Every 16th rising edge  
When the capture mode is changed, a false capture  
interrupt may be generated. The user should keep bit  
CCP1IE (PIE1<2>) clear to avoid false interrupts and  
should clear the flag bit CCP1IF following any such  
change in operating mode.  
An event is selected by control bits CCP1M<3:0>  
(CCP1CON<3:0>). When a capture is made, the inter-  
rupt request flag bit CCP1IF (PIR1<2>) is set. The  
interrupt flag must be cleared in software. If another  
capture occurs before the value in register CCPR1 is  
read, the old captured value will be lost.  
8.1.4  
CCP PRESCALER  
There are four prescaler settings, specified by bits  
CCP1M<3:0>. Whenever the CCP module is turned off,  
or the CCP module is not in capture mode, the pres-  
caler counter is cleared. Any reset will clear the pres-  
caler counter.  
8.1.1  
CCP PIN CONFIGURATION  
In Capture mode, the RC2/CCP1 pin should be config-  
ured as an input by setting the TRISC<2> bit.  
Switching from one capture prescaler to another may  
generate an interrupt. Also, the prescaler counter will  
not be cleared, therefore, the first capture may be from  
a non-zero prescaler. Example 8-1 shows the recom-  
mended method for switching between capture pres-  
calers. This example also clears the prescaler counter  
and will not generate the “false” interrupt.  
Note: If the RC2/CCP1 pin is configured as an  
output, a write to the port can cause a cap-  
ture condition.

Compare Mode  
Note: The special event trigger from the CCP1  
module will not set interrupt flag bit  
TMR1IF (PIR1<0>).  
In Compare mode, the 16-bit CCPR1 register value is  
constantly compared against the TMR1 register pair  
value. When a match occurs, the RC2/CCP1 pin is:  
• Driven high  
8.3  
PWM Mode (PWM)  
• Driven low  
In pulse width modulation mode, the CCP1 pin pro-  
duces up to a 10-bit resolution PWM output. Since the  
CCP1 pin is multiplexed with the PORTC data latch, the  
TRISC<2> bit must be cleared to make the CCP1 pin  
an output.  
• Remains unchanged  
The action on the pin is based on the value of control  
bits CCP1M<3:0> (CCP1CON<3:0>). At the same  
time, interrupt flag bit CCP1IF is set.  
Note: Clearing the CCP1CON register will force  
the CCP1 PWM output latch to the default  
low level. This is not the PORTC I/O data  
latch.

When Generate Software Interrupt mode is chosen, the  
CCP1 pin is not affected. The CCPIF bit is set causing  
a CCP interrupt (if enabled).  
8.2.4  
SPECIAL EVENT TRIGGER  
In this mode, an internal hardware trigger is generated,  
which may be used to initiate an action.  
The special event trigger output of CCP1 resets the  
TMR1 register pair and starts an A/D conversion (if the  
A/D module is enabled). This allows the CCPR1 regis-  
ter to effectively be a 16-bit programmable period reg-  
ister for Timer1.

A PWM output (Figure 8-4) has a time-base (period)  
and a time that the output stays high (duty cycle). The  
frequency of the PWM is the inverse of the period (1/  
period).  
The CCPR1H register and a 2-bit internal latch are  
used to double buffer the PWM duty cycle. This double  
buffering is essential for glitchless PWM operation.  
When the CCPR1H and 2-bit latch match TMR2 con-  
catenated with an internal 2-bit Q clock or 2 bits of the  
TMR2 prescaler, the CCP1 pin is cleared.

SET-UP FOR PWM OPERATION  
8.3.1  
PWM PERIOD  
The following steps should be taken when configuring  
the CCP module for PWM operation:  
The PWM period is specified by writing to the PR2 reg-  
ister. The PWM period can be calculated using the fol-  
lowing formula:  
1. Set the PWM period by writing to the PR2 register.  
2. Set the PWM duty cycle by writing to the  
CCPR1L register and CCP1CON<5:4> bits.  
FOSC  
— 1  
PR2 =  
3. Make the CCP1 pin an output by clearing the  
TRISC<2> bit.  
4 • FPWM • TMR2 Prescale value  
4. Set the TMR2 prescale value and enable Timer2  
by writing to T2CON.  
When TMR2 is equal to PR2, the following three events  
occur on the next increment cycle:  
5. Configure the CCP1 module for PWM operation.  
• TMR2 is cleared  
• The CCP1 pin is set (exception: if PWM duty  
cycle = 0%, the CCP1 pin will not be set)  
• The PWM duty cycle is latched from CCPR1L into  
CCPR1H  
Note: The Timer2 postscaler (see Section 8.1) is  
not used in the determination of the PWM  
frequency. The postscaler could be used to  
have a servo update rate at a different fre-  
quency than the PWM output.  
8.3.2  
PWM DUTY CYCLE  
The PWM duty cycle is specified by writing to the  
CCPR1L register and to the CCP1CON<5:4> bits. Up  
to 10-bit resolution is available. The CCPR1L contains  
the eight MSbs and the CCP1CON<5:4> contains the  
two LSbs. This 10-bit value is represented by  
CCPR1L:CCP1CON<5:4>. The following equation is  
used to calculate the PWM duty cycle in time:  
PWM duty cycle = (CCPR1L:CCP1CON<5:4>) •  
Tosc • (TMR2 prescale value)  
CCPR1L and CCP1CON<5:4> can be written to at any  
time, but the duty cycle value is not latched into  
CCPR1H until after a match between PR2 and TMR2  
occurs (i.e., the period is complete). In PWM mode,  
CCPR1H is a read-only register.

The USART can be configured in the following modes:  
9.0  
ADDRESSABLE UNIVERSAL  
SYNCHRONOUS  
ASYNCHRONOUS RECEIVER  
TRANSMITTER (USART)  
• Asynchronous (full duplex)  
• Synchronous - Master (half duplex)  
• Synchronous - Slave (half duplex)  
Bit SPEN (RCSTA<7>) and bits TRISC<7:6> have to  
be set in order to configure pins RC6/TX/CK and  
RC7/RX/DT as the Universal Synchronous Asynchro-  
nous Receiver Transmitter.  
The Universal Synchronous Asynchronous Receiver  
Transmitter (USART) module is one of the two serial  
I/O modules. (USART is also known as a Serial Com-  
munications Interface or SCI). The USART can be con-  
figured as a full duplex asynchronous system that can  
communicate with peripheral devices such as CRT ter-  
minals and personal computers, or it can be configured  
as a half duplex synchronous system that can commu-  
nicate with peripheral devices such as A/D or D/A inte-  
grated circuits, serial EEPROMs etc.  
The USART module also has a multi-processor com-  
munication capability using 9-bit address detection.

It may be advantageous to use the high baud rate  
(BRGH = 1) even for slower baud clocks. This is  
because the FOSC/(16(X + 1)) equation can reduce the  
baud rate error in some cases.  
9.1  
USART Baud Rate Generator (BRG)  
The BRG supports both the asynchronous and syn-  
chronous modes of the USART. It is a dedicated 8-bit  
baud rate generator. The SPBRG register controls the  
period of a free running 8-bit timer. In asynchronous  
mode, bit BRGH (TXSTA<2>) also controls the baud  
rate. In synchronous mode, bit BRGH is ignored.  
Table 9-1 shows the formula for computation of the  
baud rate for different USART modes which only apply  
in master mode (internal clock).  
Writing a new value to the SPBRG register causes the  
BRG timer to be reset (or cleared). This ensures the  
BRG does not wait for a timer overflow before output-  
ting the new baud rate.  
9.1.1  
SAMPLING  
The data on the RC7/RX/DT pin is sampled three times  
by a majority detect circuit to determine if a high or a  
low level is present at the RX pin.  
Given the desired baud rate and Fosc, the nearest inte-  
ger value for the SPBRG register can be calculated  
using the formula in Table 9-1. From this, the error in  
baud rate can be determined.

( PIE1<4>). Flag bit TXIF will be set, regardless of the  
state of enable bit TXIE and cannot be cleared in soft-  
ware. It will reset only when new data is loaded into the  
TXREG register. While flag bit TXIF indicates the status  
of the TXREG register, another bit TRMT (TXSTA<1>)  
shows the status of the TSR register. Status bit TRMT  
is a read only bit, which is set when the TSR register is  
empty. No interrupt logic is tied to this bit, so the user  
has to poll this bit in order to determine if the TSR reg-  
ister is empty.  
9.2  
USART Asynchronous Mode  
In this mode, the USART uses standard non-return-to-  
zero (NRZ) format (one start bit, eight or nine data bits,  
and one stop bit). The most common data format is 8  
bits. An on-chip, dedicated, 8-bit baud rate generator  
can be used to derive standard baud rate frequencies  
from the oscillator. The USART transmits and receives  
the LSb first. The USART’s transmitter and receiver are  
functionally independent, but use the same data format  
and baud rate. The baud rate generator produces a  
clock either x16 or x64 of the bit shift rate, depending  
on bit BRGH (TXSTA<2>). Parity is not supported by  
the hardware, but can be implemented in software (and  
stored as the ninth data bit). Asynchronous mode is  
stopped during SLEEP.  
Note 1: The TSR register is not mapped in data  
memory, so it is not available to the user.  
2: Flag bit TXIF is set when enable bit TXEN  
is set. TXIF is cleared by loading TXREG.  
Transmission is enabled by setting enable bit TXEN  
(TXSTA<5>). The actual transmission will not occur  
until the TXREG register has been loaded with data  
and the baud rate generator (BRG) has produced a  
shift clock (Figure 9-2). The transmission can also be  
started by first loading the TXREG register and then  
setting enable bit TXEN. Normally, when transmission  
is first started, the TSR register is empty. At that point,  
transfer to the TXREG register will result in an immedi-  
ate transfer to TSR, resulting in an empty TXREG. A  
back-to-back transfer is thus possible (Figure 9-3).  
Clearing enable bit TXEN during a transmission will  
cause the transmission to be aborted and will reset the  
transmitter. As a result, the RC6/TX/CK pin will revert  
to hi-impedance.  
Asynchronous mode is selected by clearing bit SYNC  
(TXSTA<4>).  
The USART Asynchronous module consists of the fol-  
lowing important elements:  
• Baud Rate Generator  
• Sampling Circuit  
• Asynchronous Transmitter  
• Asynchronous Receiver  
9.2.1  
USART ASYNCHRONOUS TRANSMITTER  
The USART transmitter block diagram is shown in  
Figure 9-1. The heart of the transmitter is the transmit  
(serial) shift register (TSR). The shift register obtains its  
data from the read/write transmit buffer, TXREG. The  
TXREG register is loaded with data in software. The  
TSR register is not loaded until the STOP bit has been  
transmitted from the previous load. As soon as the  
STOP bit is transmitted, the TSR is loaded with new  
data from the TXREG register (if available). Once the  
TXREG register transfers the data to the TSR register  
(occurs in one TCY), the TXREG register is empty and  
flag bit TXIF (PIR1<4>) is set. This interrupt can be  
enabled/disabled by setting/clearing enable bit TXIE  
In order to select 9-bit transmission, transmit bit TX9  
(TXSTA<6>) should be set and the ninth bit should be  
written to TX9D (TXSTA<0>). The ninth bit must be  
written before writing the 8-bit data to the TXREG reg-  
ister. This is because a data write to the TXREG regis-  
ter can result in an immediate transfer of the data to the  
TSR register (if the TSR is empty). In such a case, an  
incorrect ninth data bit may be loaded in the TSR  
register.

set bit BRGH. (Section 9.1)  
6. If 9-bit transmission is selected, the ninth bit  
should be loaded in bit TX9D.  
2. Enable the asynchronous serial port by clearing  
bit SYNC and setting bit SPEN.

USART ASYNCHRONOUS RECEIVER  
for two bytes of data to be received and transferred to  
the RCREG FIFO and a third byte to begin shifting to  
the RSR register. On the detection of the STOP bit of  
the third byte, if the RCREG register is still full, the over-  
run error bit OERR (RCSTA<1>) will be set. The word  
in the RSR will be lost. The RCREG register can be  
read twice to retrieve the two bytes in the FIFO. Over-  
run bit OERR has to be cleared in software. This is  
done by resetting the receive logic (CREN is cleared  
and then set). If bit OERR is set, transfers from the  
RSR register to the RCREG register are inhibited, so it  
is essential to clear error bit OERR if it is set. Framing  
error bit FERR (RCSTA<2>) is set if a stop bit is  
detected as clear. Bit FERR and the 9th receive bit are  
buffered the same way as the receive data. Reading  
the RCREG will load bits RX9D and FERR with new  
values, therefore it is essential for the user to read the  
RCSTA register before reading RCREG register in  
order not to lose the old FERR and RX9D information.  
The receiver block diagram is shown in Figure 9-4. The  
data is received on the RC7/RX/DT pin and drives the  
data recovery block. The data recovery block is actually  
a high speed shifter operating at x16 times the baud  
rate, whereas the main receive serial shifter operates at  
the bit rate or at FOSC.  
Once asynchronous mode is selected, reception is  
enabled by setting bit CREN (RCSTA<4>).  
The heart of the receiver is the receive (serial) shift reg-  
ister (RSR). After sampling the STOP bit, the received  
data in the RSR is transferred to the RCREG register (if  
it is empty). If the transfer is complete, flag bit RCIF  
(PIR1<5>) is set. The actual interrupt can be enabled/  
disabled by setting/clearing enable bit RCIE (PIE1<5>).  
Flag bit RCIF is a read only bit which is cleared by the  
hardware. It is cleared when the RCREG register has  
been read and is empty. The RCREG is a double buff-  
ered register (i.e. it is a two deep FIFO). It is possible

pin reverts to a hi-impedance state (for a reception).  
The CK pin will remain an output if bit CSRC is set  
(internal clock). The transmitter logic, however, is not  
reset, although it is disconnected from the pins. In order  
to reset the transmitter, the user has to clear bit TXEN.  
If bit SREN is set (to interrupt an on-going transmission  
and receive a single word), then after the single word is  
received, bit SREN will be cleared and the serial port  
will revert back to transmitting, since bit TXEN is still  
set. The DT line will immediately switch from hi-imped-  
ance receive mode to transmit and start driving. To  
avoid this, bit TXEN should be cleared.  
9.3  
USART Synchronous Master Mode  
In Synchronous Master mode, the data is transmitted in  
a half-duplex manne (i.e., transmission and reception  
do not occur at the same time). When transmitting data,  
the reception is inhibited and vice versa. Synchronous  
mode is entered by setting bit SYNC (TXSTA<4>). In  
addition, enable bit SPEN (RCSTA<7>) is set in order  
to configure the RC6/TX/CK and RC7/RX/DT I/O pins  
to CK (clock) and DT (data) lines respectively. The  
Master mode indicates that the processor transmits the  
master clock on the CK line. The Master mode is  
entered by setting bit CSRC (TXSTA<7>).  
In order to select 9-bit transmission, the TX9  
(TXSTA<6>) bit should be set and the ninth bit should  
be written to bit TX9D (TXSTA<0>). The ninth bit must  
be written before writing the 8-bit data to the TXREG  
register. This is because a data write to the TXREG can  
result in an immediate transfer of the data to the TSR  
register (if the TSR is empty). If the TSR was empty and  
the TXREG was written before writing the “new” TX9D,  
the “present” value of bit TX9D is loaded.  
9.3.1  
USART SYNCHRONOUS MASTER  
TRANSMISSION  
The USART transmitter block diagram is shown in  
Figure 9-6. The heart of the transmitter is the transmit  
(serial) shift register (TSR). The shift register obtains its  
data from the read/write transmit buffer register  
TXREG. The TXREG register is loaded with data in  
software. The TSR register is not loaded until the last  
bit has been transmitted from the previous load. As  
soon as the last bit is transmitted, the TSR is loaded  
with new data from the TXREG (if available). Once the  
TXREG register transfers the data to the TSR register  
(occurs in one Tcycle), the TXREG is empty and inter-  
rupt bit TXIF (PIR1<4>) is set. The interrupt can be  
enabled/disabled by setting/clearing enable bit TXIE  
(PIE1<4>). Flag bit TXIF will be set regardless of the  
state of enable bit TXIE and cannot be cleared in soft-  
ware. It will reset only when new data is loaded into the  
TXREG register. While flag bit TXIF indicates the status  
of the TXREG register, another bit TRMT (TXSTA<1>)  
shows the status of the TSR register. TRMT is a read  
only bit which is set when the TSR is empty. No inter-  
rupt logic is tied to this bit, so the user has to poll this  
bit in order to determine if the TSR register is empty.  
The TSR is not mapped in data memory, so it is not  
available to the user.  
Steps to follow when setting up a Synchronous Master  
Transmission:  
1. Initialize the SPBRG register for the appropriate  
baud rate (Section 9.1).  
2. Enable the synchronous master serial port by  
setting bits SYNC, SPEN and CSRC.  
3. If interrupts are desired, set enable bit TXIE.  
4. If 9-bit transmission is desired, set bit TX9.  
5. Enable the transmission by setting bit TXEN.  
6. If 9-bit transmission is selected, the ninth bit  
should be loaded in bit TX9D.  
7. Start transmission by loading data to the  
TXREG register.  
Transmission is enabled by setting enable bit TXEN  
(TXSTA<5>). The actual transmission will not occur  
until the TXREG register has been loaded with data.  
The first data bit will be shifted out on the next available  
rising edge of the clock on the CK line. Data out is sta-  
ble around the falling edge of the synchronous clock  
(Figure 9-9). The transmission can also be started by  
first loading the TXREG register and then setting bit  
TXEN (Figure 9-10). This is advantageous when slow  
baud rates are selected, since the BRG is kept in reset  
when bits TXEN, CREN and SREN are clear. Setting  
enable bit TXEN will start the BRG, creating a shift  
clock immediately. Normally, when transmission is first  
started, the TSR register is empty, so a transfer to the  
TXREG register will result in an immediate transfer to  
TSR resulting in an empty TXREG. Back-to-back trans-  
fers are possible.  
Clearing enable bit TXEN during a transmission will  
cause the transmission to be aborted and will reset the  
transmitter. The DT and CK pins will revert to hi-imped-  
ance. If either bit CREN or bit SREN is set during a  
transmission, the transmission is aborted and the DT

USART SYNCHRONOUS MASTER  
RECEPTION  
OERR if it is set. The ninth receive bit is buffered the  
same way as the receive data. Reading the RCREG  
register will load bit RX9D with a new value, therefore it  
is essential for the user to read the RCSTA register  
before reading RCREG in order not to lose the old  
RX9D information.  
Once synchronous mode is selected, reception is  
enabled by setting either enable bit SREN (RCSTA<5>)  
or enable bit CREN (RCSTA<4>). Data is sampled on  
the RC7/RX/DT pin on the falling edge of the clock. If  
enable bit SREN is set, then only a single word is  
received. If enable bit CREN is set, the reception is  
continuous until CREN is cleared. If both bits are set,  
CREN takes precedence. After clocking the last bit, the  
received data in the Receive Shift Register (RSR) is  
transferred to the RCREG register (if it is empty). When  
the transfer is complete, interrupt flag bit RCIF  
(PIR1<5>) is set. The actual interrupt can be enabled/  
disabled by setting/clearing enable bit RCIE (PIE1<5>).  
Flag bit RCIF is a read only bit, which is reset by the  
hardware. In this case, it is reset when the RCREG reg-  
ister has been read and is empty. The RCREG is a dou-  
ble buffered register (i.e., it is a two deep FIFO). It is  
possible for two bytes of data to be received and trans-  
ferred to the RCREG FIFO and a third byte to begin  
shifting into the RSR register. On the clocking of the last  
bit of the third byte, if the RCREG register is still full,  
then overrun error bit OERR (RCSTA<1>) is set. The  
word in the RSR will be lost. The RCREG register can  
be read twice to retrieve the two bytes in the FIFO. Bit  
OERR has to be cleared in software (by clearing bit  
CREN). If bit OERR is set, transfers from the RSR to  
the RCREG are inhibited, so it is essential to clear bit  
Steps to follow when setting up a Synchronous Master  
Reception:  
1. Initialize the SPBRG register for the appropriate  
baud rate. (Section 9.1)  
2. Enable the synchronous master serial port by  
setting bits SYNC, SPEN and CSRC.  
3. Ensure bits CREN and SREN are clear.  
4. If interrupts are desired, then set enable bit RCIE.  
5. If 9-bit reception is desired, then set bit RX9.  
6. If a single reception is required, set bit SREN.  
For continuous reception set bit CREN.  
7. Interrupt flag bit RCIF will be set when reception  
is complete and an interrupt will be generated if  
enable bit RCIE was set.  
8. Read the RCSTA register to get the ninth bit (if  
enabled) and determine if any error occurred  
during reception.  
9. Read the 8-bit received data by reading the  
RCREG register.  
10. If any error occurred, clear the error by clearing  
bit CREN.

USART SYNCHRONOUS SLAVE  
RECEPTION  
9.4  
USART Synchronous Slave Mode  
Synchronous slave mode differs from the Master mode  
in the fact that the shift clock is supplied externally at  
the RC6/TX/CK pin (instead of being supplied internally  
in master mode). This allows the device to transfer or  
receive data while in SLEEP mode. Slave mode is  
entered by clearing bit CSRC (TXSTA<7>).  
The operation of the synchronous master and slave  
modes is identical, except in the case of the SLEEP  
mode. Bit SREN is a “don't care” in slave mode.  
If receive is enabled by setting bit CREN prior to the  
SLEEPinstruction, then a word may be received during  
SLEEP. On completely receiving the word, the RSR  
register will transfer the data to the RCREG register  
and if enable bit RCIE bit is set, the interrupt generated  
will wake the chip from SLEEP. If the global interrupt is  
enabled, the program will branch to the interrupt vector  
(0004h).  
9.4.1  
USART SYNCHRONOUS SLAVE  
TRANSMIT  
The operation of the synchronous master and slave  
modes are identical except in the case of the SLEEP  
mode.  
Steps to follow when setting up a Synchronous Slave  
Reception:  
If two words are written to the TXREG and then the  
SLEEPinstruction is executed, the following will occur:  
1. Enable the synchronous master serial port by  
setting bits SYNC and SPEN and clearing bit  
CSRC.  
a) The first word will immediately transfer to the  
TSR register and transmit.  
b) The second word will remain in TXREG register.  
c) Flag bit TXIF will not be set.  
2. If interrupts are desired, set enable bit RCIE.  
3. If 9-bit reception is desired, set bit RX9.  
4. To enable reception, set enable bit CREN.  
d) When the first word has been shifted out of TSR,  
the TXREG register will transfer the second  
word to the TSR and flag bit TXIF will now be  
set.  
5. Flag bit RCIF will be set when reception is com-  
plete and an interrupt will be generated, if  
enable bit RCIE was set.  
e) If enable bit TXIE is set, the interrupt will wake  
the chip from SLEEP and if the global interrupt  
is enabled, the program will branch to the inter-  
rupt vector (0004h).  
6. Read the RCSTA register to get the ninth bit (if  
enabled) and determine if any error occurred  
during reception.  
7. Read the 8-bit received data by reading the  
RCREG register.  
Steps to follow when setting up a Synchronous Slave  
Transmission:  
8. If any error occurred, clear the error by clearing  
bit CREN.  
1. Enable the synchronous slave serial port by set-  
ting bits SYNC and SPEN and clearing bit  
CSRC.  
2. Clear bits CREN and SREN.  
3. If interrupts are desired, then set enable bit  
TXIE.  
4. If 9-bit transmission is desired, then set bit TX9.  
5. Enable the transmission by setting enable bit  
TXEN.  
6. If 9-bit transmission is selected, the ninth bit  
should be loaded in bit TX9D.  
7. Start transmission by loading data to the  
TXREG register.

PIC16F870/871  
The A/D module has four registers. These registers  
are:  
10.0 ANALOG-TO-DIGITAL  
CONVERTER (A/D) MODULE  
The Analog-to-Digital (A/D) Converter module has five  
inputs for the PIC16F870 and eight for the PIC16F871.  
• A/D Result High Register (ADRESH)  
• A/D Result Low Register (ADRESL)  
• A/D Control Register0 (ADCON0)  
• A/D Control Register1 (ADCON1)  
The analog input charges a sample and hold capacitor.  
The output of the sample and hold capacitor is the  
input into the converter. The converter then generates  
a digital result of this analog level via successive  
approximation. The A/D conversion of the analog input  
signal results in a corresponding 10-bit digital number.  
The A/D module has high and low voltage reference  
input that is software selectable to some combination  
of VDD, VSS, RA2 or RA3.  
The ADCON0 register, shown in Register 10-1, con-  
trols the operation of the A/D module. The ADCON1  
register, shown in Register 10-2, configures the func-  
tions of the port pins. The port pins can be configured  
as analog inputs (RA3 can also be the voltage refer-  
ence) or as digital I/O.  
Additional information on using the A/D module can be  
found in the PICmicro™ Mid-Range MCU Family Ref-  
erence Manual (DS33023).  
The A/D converter has a unique feature of being able to  
operate while the device is in SLEEP mode. To operate  
in sleep, the A/D clock must be derived from the A/D’s  
internal RC oscillator.

The ADRESH:ADRESL registers contain the 10-bit  
result of the A/D conversion. When the A/D conversion  
is complete, the result is loaded into this A/D result reg-  
ister pair, the GO/DONE bit (ADCON0<2>) is cleared  
and the A/D interrupt flag bit ADIF is set. The block dia-  
gram of the A/D module is shown in Figure 10-1.  
After the A/D module has been configured as desired,  
the selected channel must be acquired before the con-  
version is started. The analog input channels must  
have their corresponding TRIS bits selected as inputs.  
To determine sample time, see Section 10.1. After this  
acquisition time has elapsed, the A/D conversion can  
be started. The following steps should be followed for  
doing an A/D conversion:  
1. Configure the A/D module:  
• Configure analog pins / voltage reference /  
and digital I/O (ADCON1)  
• Select A/D input channel (ADCON0)  
• Select A/D conversion clock (ADCON0)  
Turn on A/D module (ADCON0)  
2. Configure A/D interrupt (if desired):  
• Clear ADIF bit  
• Set ADIE bit  
• Set GIE bit  
3. Wait the required acquisition time.  
4. Start conversion:  
• Set GO/DONE bit (ADCON0)  
5. Wait for A/D conversion to complete, by either:  
• Polling for the GO/DONE bit to be cleared  
OR  
• Waiting for the A/D interrupt  
6. Read  
A/D  
Result  
register  
pair  
(ADRESH:ADRESL), clear bit ADIF if required.  
7. For next conversion, go to step 1 or step 2 as  
required. The A/D conversion time per bit is  
defined as TAD. A minimum wait of 2TAD is  
required before next acquisition starts.

To calculate the minimum acquisition time,  
Equation 10-1 may be used. This equation assumes  
that 1/2 LSb error is used (1024 steps for the A/D). The  
1/2 LSb error is the maximum error allowed for the A/D  
to meet its specified resolution.  
10.1  
A/D Acquisition Requirements  
For the A/D converter to meet its specified accuracy,  
the charge holding capacitor (CHOLD) must be allowed  
to fully charge to the input channel voltage level. The  
analog input model is shown in Figure 10-2. The  
source impedance (RS) and the internal sampling  
switch (RSS) impedance directly affect the time  
required to charge the capacitor CHOLD. The sampling  
switch (RSS) impedance varies over the device voltage  
(VDD), Figure 10-2. The maximum recommended  
impedance for analog sources is 10 k. As the  
impedance is decreased, the acquisition time may be  
decreased. After the analog input channel is selected  
(changed), this acquisition must be done before the  
conversion can be started.  
To calculate the minimum acquisition time, TACQ, see  
the PICmicro™ Mid-Range Reference Manual  
(DS33023).

For correct A/D conversions, the A/D conversion clock  
(TAD) must be selected to ensure a minimum TAD time  
of 1.6 µs.  
10.2  
Selecting the A/D Conversion Clock  
The A/D conversion time per bit is defined as TAD. The  
A/D conversion requires a minimum 12TAD per 10-bit  
conversion. The source of the A/D conversion clock is  
software selected. The four possible options for TAD  
are:  
Table 10-1shows the resultant TAD times derived from  
the device operating frequencies and the A/D clock  
source selected.  
• 2TOSC  
• 8TOSC  
• 32TOSC  
• Internal RC oscillator

Note 1: The RC source has a typical TAD time of 4 µs but can vary between 2-6 µs.  
2: When the device frequencies are greater than 1 MHz, the RC A/D conversion clock source is only recommended for sleep  
operation.  
3: For extended voltage devices (LC), please refer to the Electrical Specifications section.  
10.3  
Configuring Analog Port Pins  
The ADCON1, and TRIS registers control the operation  
of the A/D port pins. The port pins that are desired as  
analog inputs must have their corresponding TRIS bits  
set (input). If the TRIS bit is cleared (output), the digital  
output level (VOH or VOL) will be converted.  
The A/D operation is independent of the state of the  
CHS2:CHS0 bits and the TRIS bits.  
Note 1: When reading the port register, any pin  
configured as an analog input channel will  
read as cleared (a low level). Pins config-  
ured as digital inputs will convert an ana-  
log input. Analog levels on a digitally  
configured input will not affect the conver-  
sion accuracy.  
2: Analog levels on any pin that is defined as  
a digital input (including the AN7:AN0  
pins), may cause the input buffer to con-  
sume current that is out of the device  
specifications.

10.4.1 A/D RESULT REGISTERS  
SLEEP. If the A/D interrupt is not enabled, the A/D mod-  
ule will then be turned off, although the ADON bit will  
remain set.  
The ADRESH:ADRESL register pair is the location  
where the 10-bit A/D result is loaded at the completion  
of the A/D conversion. This register pair is 16-bits  
wide. The A/D module gives the flexibility to left or right  
justify the 10-bit result in the 16-bit result register. The  
A/D Format Select bit (ADFM) controls this justifica-  
tion. Figure 10-4 shows the operation of the A/D result  
justification. The extra bits are loaded with ’0’s’. When  
an A/D result will not overwrite these locations (A/D  
disable), these registers may be used as two general  
purpose 8-bit registers.  
When the A/D clock source is another clock option (not  
RC), a SLEEPinstruction will cause the present conver-  
sion to be aborted and the A/D module to be turned off,  
though the ADON bit will remain set.  
Turning off the A/D places the A/D module in its lowest  
current consumption state.  
Note: For the A/D module to operate in SLEEP,  
the A/D clock source must be set to RC  
(ADCS1:ADCS0 = 11). To allow the con-  
version to occur during SLEEP, ensure the  
SLEEPinstruction immediately follows the  
instruction that sets the GO/DONE bit.  
10.5  
A/D Operation During Sleep  
The A/D module can operate during SLEEP mode. This  
requires that the A/D clock source be set to RC  
(ADCS1:ADCS0 = 11). When the RC clock source is  
selected, the A/D module waits one instruction cycle  
before starting the conversion. This allows the SLEEP  
instruction to be executed, which eliminates all digital  
switching noise from the conversion. When the conver-  
sion is completed the GO/DONE bit will be cleared and  
the result loaded into the ADRES register. If the A/D  
interrupt is enabled, the device will wake-up from  
10.6  
Effects of a Reset  
A device reset forces all registers to their reset state.  
This forces the A/D module to be turned off, and any  
conversion is aborted.  
The value that is in the ADRESH:ADRESL registers is  
not modified for  
a
Power-on Reset. The  
ADRESH:ADRESL registers will contain unknown data  
after a Power-on Reset.

11.0 SPECIAL FEATURES OF THE  
CPU  
These devices have a host of features intended to max-  
imize system reliability, minimize cost through elimina-  
tion of external components, provide power saving  
operating modes and offer code protection. These are:  
The configuration bits can be programmed (read as '0')  
or left unprogrammed (read as '1') to select various  
device configurations. These bits are mapped in pro-  
gram memory location 2007h.  
The user will note that address 2007h is beyond the  
user program memory space. In fact, it belongs to the  
special test/configuration memory space (2000h -  
3FFFh), which can be accessed only during program-  
ming.  
• OSC Selection  
• Reset  
- Power-on Reset (POR)  
- Power-up Timer (PWRT)  
- Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST)  
- Brown-out Reset (BOR)  
• Interrupts  
• Watchdog Timer (WDT)  
• SLEEP  
• Code protection  
• ID locations  
• In-Circuit Serial Programming  
• Low Voltage In-Circuit Serial Programming  
• In-Circuit Debugger  
These devices have a watchdog timer, which can be  
shut off only through configuration bits. It runs off its  
own RC oscillator for added reliability. There are two  
timers that offer necessary delays on power-up. One is  
the Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST), intended to keep  
the chip in reset until the crystal oscillator is stable. The  
other is the Power-up Timer (PWRT), which provides a  
fixed delay of 72 ms (nominal) on power-up only. It is  
designed to keep the part in reset while the power sup-  
ply stabilizes. With these two timers on-chip, most  
applications need no external reset circuitry.  
SLEEP mode is designed to offer a very low current  
power-down mode. The user can wake-up from SLEEP  
through external reset, Watchdog Timer Wake-up, or  
through an interrupt. Several oscillator options are also  
made available to allow the part to fit the application.  
The RC oscillator option saves system cost while the  
LP crystal option saves power. A set of configuration  
bits are used to select various options.  
Additional information on special features is available in  
the PICmicro™ Mid-Range Reference Manual,  
(DS33023).

In XT, LP or HS modes, a crystal or ceramic resonator  
is connected to the OSC1/CLKIN and OSC2/CLKOUT  
pins to establish oscillation (Figure 11-1). The  
PIC16F870/871 oscillator design requires the use of a  
parallel cut crystal. Use of a series cut crystal may give  
a frequency out of the crystal manufacturers specifica-  
tions. When in XT, LP or HS modes, the device can  
have an external clock source to drive the OSC1/

TABLE 11-2: CAPACITOR SELECTION FOR  
CRYSTAL OSCILLATOR  
For timing insensitive applications, the “RC” device  
option offers additional cost savings. The RC oscillator  
frequency is a function of the supply voltage, the resis-  
tor (REXT) and capacitor (CEXT) values, and the operat-  
ing temperature. In addition to this, the oscillator  
frequency will vary from unit to unit due to normal pro-  
cess parameter variation. Furthermore, the difference  
in lead frame capacitance between package types will  
also affect the oscillation frequency, especially for low  
CEXT values. The user also needs to take into account  
variation due to tolerance of external R and C compo-  
nents used. Figure 11-3 shows how the R/C combina-  
tion is connected to the PIC16F870/871.

WDT Reset, on MCLR reset during SLEEP, and Brown-  
out Reset (BOR). They are not affected by a WDT  
Wake-up, which is viewed as the resumption of normal  
operation. The TO and PD bits are set or cleared differ-  
ently in different reset situations as indicated in  
Table 11-4. These bits are used in software to deter-  
mine the nature of the reset. See Table 11-6 for a full  
description of reset states of all registers.  
11.3  
Reset  
The PIC16F870/871 differentiates between various  
kinds of reset:  
• Power-on Reset (POR)  
• MCLR reset during normal operation  
• MCLR reset during SLEEP  
• WDT Reset (during normal operation)  
• WDT Wake-up (during SLEEP)  
• Brown-out Reset (BOR)  
A simplified block diagram of the on-chip reset circuit is  
shown in Figure 11-4.  
These devices have a MCLR noise filter in the MCLR  
reset path. The filter will detect and ignore small pulses.  
Some registers are not affected in any reset condition.  
Their status is unknown on POR and unchanged in any  
other reset. Most other registers are reset to a “reset  
state” on Power-on Reset (POR), on the MCLR and  
It should be noted that a WDT Reset does not drive  
MCLR pin low.

Time-out Sequence  
A Power-on Reset pulse is generated on-chip when  
VDD rise is detected (in the range of 1.2V - 1.7V). To  
take advantage of the POR, tie the MCLR pin directly  
(or through a resistor) to VDD. This will eliminate exter-  
nal RC components usually needed to create a Power-  
on Reset. A maximum rise time for VDD is specified.  
See Electrical Specifications for details.  
On power-up, the time-out sequence is as follows: The  
PWRT delay starts (if enabled) when a POR reset  
occurs. Then OST starts counting 1024 oscillator  
cycles when PWRT ends (LP, XT, HS). When the OST  
ends, the device comes out of RESET.  
If MCLR is kept low long enough, the time-outs will  
expire. Bringing MCLR high will begin execution imme-  
diately. This is useful for testing purposes or to synchro-  
nize more than one PIC16CXX device operating in  
parallel.  
When the device starts normal operation (exits the  
reset condition), device operating parameters (voltage,  
frequency, temperature,...) must be met to ensure oper-  
ation. If these conditions are not met, the device must  
be held in reset until the operating conditions are met.  
Brown-out Reset may be used to meet the start-up con-  
ditions. For additional information, refer to Application  
Note, AN007, “Power-up Trouble Shooting”,  
(DS00007).  
Table 11-5 shows the reset conditions for the STATUS,  
PCON and PC registers, while Table 11-6 shows the  
reset conditions for all the registers.  
11.9  
Power Control/Status Register  
(PCON)  
11.5  
Power-up Timer (PWRT)  
The Power Control/Status Register, PCON, has up to  
two bits depending upon the device.  
The Power-up Timer provides a fixed 72 ms nominal  
time-out on power-up only from the POR. The Power-  
up Timer operates on an internal RC oscillator. The  
chip is kept in reset as long as the PWRT is active. The  
PWRT’s time delay allows VDD to rise to an acceptable  
level. A configuration bit is provided to enable/disable  
the PWRT.  
Bit0 is Brown-out Reset Status bit, BOR. Bit BOR is  
unknown on a Power-on Reset. It must then be set by  
the user and checked on subsequent resets to see if bit  
BOR cleared, indicating a BOR occurred. The BOR bit  
is a "don’t care" bit and is not necessarily predictable if  
the Brown-out Reset circuitry is disabled (by clearing  
bit BODEN in the Configuration Word).  
The power-up time delay will vary from chip to chip due  
to VDD, temperature and process variation. See DC  
parameters for details (TPWRT, parameter #33).  
Bit1 is POR (Power-on Reset Status bit). It is cleared on  
a Power-on Reset and unaffected otherwise. The user  
must set this bit following a Power-on Reset.  
11.6  
Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST)  
The Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) provides 1024  
oscillator cycle (from OSC1 input) delay after the  
PWRT delay is over. This ensures that the crystal oscil-  
lator or resonator has started and stabilized.  
The OST time-out is invoked only for XT, LP and HS  
modes and only on Power-on Reset or wake-up from  
SLEEP.  
11.7  
Brown-Out Reset (BOR)  
The configuration bit, BODEN, can enable or disable  
the Brown-out Reset circuit. If VDD falls below VBOR  
(parameter D005, about 4V) for longer than TBOR  
(parameter #35, about 100µS), the brown-out situa-  
tion will reset the device. If VDD falls below VBOR for  
less than TBOR, a reset may not occur.  
Once the brown-out occurs, the device will remain in  
brown-out reset until VDD rises above VBOR. The  
power-up timer then keeps the device in reset for  
TPWRT (parameter #33, about 72mS). If VDD should  
fall below VBOR during TPWRT, the brown-out reset  
process will restart when VDD rises above VBOR with  
the power-up timer reset. The power-up timer is  
always enabled when the brown-out reset circuit is  
enabled regardless of the state of the PWRT configu-  
ration bit.

PIC16F870/871  
The RB0/INT pin interrupt, the RB port change interrupt  
and the TMR0 overflow interrupt flags are contained in  
the INTCON register.  
11.10 Interrupts  
The PIC16F870/871 family has up to 11 sources of  
interrupt. The interrupt control register (INTCON)  
records individual interrupt requests in flag bits. It also  
has individual and global interrupt enable bits.  
The peripheral interrupt flags are contained in the spe-  
cial function registers, PIR1 and PIR2. The correspond-  
ing interrupt enable bits are contained in special  
function registers, PIE1 and PIE2, and the peripheral  
interrupt enable bit is contained in special function reg-  
ister INTCON.  
Note: Individual interrupt flag bits are set, regard-  
less of the status of their corresponding  
mask bit or the GIE bit.  
A global interrupt enable bit, GIE (INTCON<7>)  
enables (if set) all un-masked interrupts or disables (if  
cleared) all interrupts. When bit GIE is enabled, and an  
interrupt’s flag bit and mask bit are set, the interrupt will  
vector immediately. Individual interrupts can be dis-  
abled through their corresponding enable bits in vari-  
ous registers. Individual interrupt bits are set  
regardless of the status of the GIE bit. The GIE bit is  
cleared on reset.  
When an interrupt is responded to, the GIE bit is  
cleared to disable any further interrupt, the return  
address is pushed onto the stack and the PC is loaded  
with 0004h. Once in the interrupt service routine, the  
source(s) of the interrupt can be determined by polling  
the interrupt flag bits. The interrupt flag bit(s) must be  
cleared in software before re-enabling interrupts to  
avoid recursive interrupts.  
For external interrupt events, such as the INT pin or  
PORTB change interrupt, the interrupt latency will be  
three or four instruction cycles. The exact latency  
depends when the interrupt event occurs. The latency  
is the same for one or two cycle instructions. Individual  
interrupt flag bits are set regardless of the status of  
their corresponding mask bit or the GIE bit  
The “return from interrupt” instruction, RETFIE, exits  
the interrupt routine, as well as sets the GIE bit, which  
re-enables interrupts.

11.10.1 INT INTERRUPT  
11.10.3 PORTB INTCON CHANGE  
External interrupt on the RB0/INT pin is edge triggered,  
either rising, if bit INTEDG (OPTION_REG<6>) is set,  
or falling, if the INTEDG bit is clear. When a valid edge  
appears on the RB0/INT pin, flag bit INTF  
(INTCON<1>) is set. This interrupt can be disabled by  
clearing enable bit INTE (INTCON<4>). Flag bit INTF  
must be cleared in software in the interrupt service rou-  
tine before re-enabling this interrupt. The INT interrupt  
can wake-up the processor from SLEEP, if bit INTE was  
set prior to going into SLEEP. The status of global inter-  
rupt enable bit GIE decides whether or not the proces-  
sor branches to the interrupt vector following wake-up.  
See Section 11.13 for details on SLEEP mode.  
An input change on PORTB<7:4> sets flag bit RBIF  
(INTCON<0>). The interrupt can be enabled/disabled  
by setting/clearing enable bit RBIE (INTCON<4>).  
(Section 3.2)  
11.11 Context Saving During Interrupts  
During an interrupt, only the return PC value is saved  
on the stack. Typically, users may wish to save key reg-  
isters during an interrupt, (i.e., W register and STATUS  
register). This will have to be implemented in software.  
Since the upper 16 bytes of each bank are common in  
the PIC16F870/871 devices, temporary holding regis-  
ters W_TEMP, STATUS_TEMP and PCLATH_TEMP  
should be placed in here. These 16 locations don’t  
require banking and therefore, make it easier for con-  
text save and restore. Example 11-1 can be used to  
save and restore context for interrupts.  
11.10.2 TMR0 INTERRUPT  
An overflow (FFh 00h) in the TMR0 register will set  
flag bit T0IF (INTCON<2>). The interrupt can be  
enabled/disabled by setting/clearing enable bit T0IE  
(INTCON<5>). (Section 5.0)

WDT time-out period values may be found in the Elec-  
trical Specifications section under parameter #31. Val-  
ues for the WDT prescaler (actually a postscaler, but  
shared with the Timer0 prescaler) may be assigned  
using the OPTION_REG register.  
11.12 Watchdog Timer (WDT)  
The Watchdog Timer is as a free running on-chip RC  
oscillator which does not require any external compo-  
nents. This RC oscillator is separate from the RC oscil-  
lator of the OSC1/CLKIN pin. That means that the WDT  
will run, even if the clock on the OSC1/CLKIN and  
OSC2/CLKOUT pins of the device has been stopped,  
for example, by execution of a SLEEPinstruction.  
Note: The CLRWDTand SLEEPinstructions clear  
the WDT and the postscaler, if assigned to  
the WDT, and prevent it from timing out and  
generating a device RESET condition.  
During normal operation, a WDT time-out generates a  
device RESET (Watchdog Timer Reset). If the device is  
in SLEEP mode, a WDT time-out causes the device to  
wake-up and continue with normal operation (Watch-  
dog Timer Wake-up). The TO bit in the STATUS register  
will be cleared upon a Watchdog Timer time-out.  
.
Note: When a CLRWDT instruction is executed  
and the prescaler is assigned to the WDT,  
the prescaler count will be cleared, but the  
prescaler assignment is not changed.  
The WDT can be permanently disabled by clearing  
configuration bit WDTE (Section 11.1).

clear (disabled), the device continues execution at the  
instruction after the SLEEPinstruction. If the GIE bit is  
set (enabled), the device executes the instruction after  
the SLEEP instruction and then branches to the inter-  
rupt address (0004h). In cases where the execution of  
the instruction following SLEEP is not desirable, the  
user should have a NOPafter the SLEEPinstruction.  
11.13 Power-down Mode (SLEEP)  
Power-down mode is entered by executing a SLEEP  
instruction.  
If enabled, the Watchdog Timer will be cleared but  
keeps running, the PD bit (STATUS<3>) is cleared, the  
TO (STATUS<4>) bit is set, and the oscillator driver is  
turned off. The I/O ports maintain the status they had  
before the SLEEP instruction was executed (driving  
high, low, or hi-impedance).  
11.13.2 WAKE-UP USING INTERRUPTS  
When global interrupts are disabled (GIE cleared) and  
any interrupt source has both its interrupt enable bit  
and interrupt flag bit set, one of the following will occur:  
For lowest current consumption in this mode, place all  
I/O pins at either VDD or VSS, ensure no external cir-  
cuitry is drawing current from the I/O pin, power-down  
the A/D and disable external clocks. Pull all I/O pins  
that are hi-impedance inputs, high or low externally, to  
avoid switching currents caused by floating inputs. The  
T0CKI input should also be at VDD or VSS for lowest  
current consumption. The contribution from on-chip  
pull-ups on PORTB should be considered.  
• If the interrupt occurs before the execution of a  
SLEEPinstruction, the SLEEPinstruction will com-  
plete as a NOP. Therefore, the WDT and WDT  
postscaler will not be cleared, the TO bit will not  
be set and PD bits will not be cleared.  
• If the interrupt occurs during or after the execu-  
tion of a SLEEPinstruction, the device will imme-  
diately wake up from sleep. The SLEEPinstruction  
will be completely executed before the wake-up.  
Therefore, the WDT and WDT postscaler will be  
cleared, the TO bit will be set and the PD bit will  
be cleared.  
The MCLR pin must be at a logic high level (VIHMC).  
11.13.1 WAKE-UP FROM SLEEP  
The device can wake up from SLEEP through one of  
the following events:  
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.  
1. External reset input on MCLR pin.  
2. Watchdog Timer wake-up (if WDT was  
enabled).  
3. Interrupt from INT pin, RB port change or some  
Peripheral Interrupts.  
External MCLR Reset will cause a device reset. All  
other events are considered a continuation of program  
execution and cause a "wake-up". The TO and PD bits  
in the STATUS register can be used to determine the  
cause of device reset. The PD bit, which is set on  
power-up, is cleared when SLEEPis invoked. The TO  
bit is cleared if a WDT time-out occurred and caused  
wake-up.  
To ensure that the WDT is cleared, a CLRWDTinstruc-  
tion should be executed before a SLEEPinstruction.  
The following peripheral interrupts can wake the device  
from SLEEP:  
1. PSP read or write.  
2. TMR1 interrupt. Timer1 must be operating as  
an asynchronous counter.  
3. CCP capture mode interrupt.  
4. Special event trigger (Timer1 in asynchronous  
mode using an external clock).  
5. USART RX or TX (synchronous slave mode).  
6. A/D conversion (when A/D clock source is RC).  
7. EEPROM write operation completion  
Other peripherals cannot generate interrupts since dur-  
ing SLEEP, no on-chip clocks are present.  
When the SLEEPinstruction is being executed, the next  
instruction (PC + 1) is pre-fetched. For the device to  
wake-up through an interrupt event, the corresponding  
interrupt enable bit must be set (enabled). Wake-up is  
regardless of the state of the GIE bit. If the GIE bit is

11.14 In-Circuit Debugger  
11.16 ID Locations  
When the DEBUG bit in the configuration word is pro-  
grammed to a ’0’, the In-Circuit Debugger functionality  
is enabled. This function allows simple debugging func-  
tions when used with MPLAB. When the microcontrol-  
ler has this feature enabled, some of the resources are  
not available for general use. Table 11-7 shows which  
features are consumed by the background debugger.  
Four memory locations (2000h - 2003h) are designated  
as ID locations where the user can store checksum or  
other code-identification numbers. These locations are  
not accessible during normal execution but are read-  
able and writable during program/verify. It is recom-  
mended that only the 4 least significant bits of the ID  
location are used.

11.17 In-Circuit Serial Programming  
11.18 Low Voltage ICSP Programming  
PIC16F870/871 microcontrollers can be serially pro-  
grammed while in the end application circuit. This is  
simply done with two lines for clock and data and three  
other lines for power, ground, and the programming  
voltage. This allows customers to manufacture boards  
with unprogrammed devices, and then program the  
microcontroller just before shipping the product. This  
also allows the most recent firmware or a custom firm-  
ware to be programmed.  
The LVP bit of the configuration word enables low volt-  
age ICSP programming. This mode allows the micro-  
controller to be programmed via ICSP using a VDD  
source in the operating voltage range. This only means  
that VPP does not have to be brought to VIHH, but can  
instead be left at the normal operating voltage. In this  
mode, the RB3/PGM pin is dedicated to the program-  
ming function and ceases to be a general purpose I/O  
pin. During programming, VDD is applied to the MCLR  
pin. To enter programming mode, VDD must be applied  
to the RB3/PGM provided the LVP bit is set. The LVP  
bit defaults to on (‘1’) from the factory.  
When using ICSP, the part must be supplied 4.5V to  
5.5V if a bulk erase will be executed. This includes  
reprogramming of the code protect both from an on-  
state to off-state. For all other cases of ICSP, the part  
may be programmed at the normal operating voltages.  
This means calibration values, unique user IDs or user  
code can be reprogrammed or added.  
Note 1: The high voltage programming mode is  
always available, regardless of the state of  
the LVP bit, by applying VIHH to the MCLR  
pin.  
For complete details of serial programming, please  
refer to the In-Circuit Serial Programming (ICSP™)  
Guide, (DS30277B).  
2: While in low voltage ICSP mode, the RB3  
pin can no longer be used as a general  
purpose I/O pin.  
If low-voltage programming mode is not used, the LVP  
bit can be programmed to a '0' and RB3/PGM becomes  
a digital I/O pin. However, the LVP bit may only be pro-  
grammed when programming is entered with VIHH on  
MCLR. The LVP bit can only be charged when using  
high voltage on MCLR.  
It should be noted, that once the LVP bit is programmed  
to 0, only the high voltage programming mode is avail-  
able and only high voltage programming mode can be  
used to program the device.  
When using low voltage ICSP, the part must be sup-  
plied 4.5V to 5.5V if a bulk erase will be executed. This  
includes reprogramming of the code protect bits from  
an on-state to off-state. For all other cases of low volt-  
age ICSP, the part may be programmed at the normal  
operating voltage. This means calibration values,  
unique user IDs or user code can be reprogrammed or  
added.

execution time is 1 µs. If a conditional test is true or the  
program counter is changed as a result of an instruc-  
tion, the instruction execution time is 2 µs.  
12.0 INSTRUCTION SET SUMMARY  
Each PIC16CXX instruction is a 14-bit word divided  
into an OPCODE which specifies the instruction type  
and one or more operands which further specify the  
operation of the instruction. The PIC16CXX instruction  
set summary in Table 12-2 lists byte-oriented, bit-ori-  
ented, and literal and control operations. Table 12-1  
shows the opcode field descriptions.  
Table 12-2 lists the instructions recognized by the  
MPASM assembler.  
Figure 12-1 shows the general formats that the instruc-  
tions can have.  
Note: To maintain upward compatibility with  
future PIC16CXX products, do not use the  
OPTIONand TRISinstructions.  
For byte-oriented instructions, ’f’ represents a file reg-  
ister designator and ’d’ represents a destination desig-  
nator. The file register designator specifies which file  
register is to be used by the instruction.  
All examples use the following format to represent a  
hexadecimal number:  
The destination designator specifies where the result of  
the operation is to be placed. If ’d’ is zero, the result is  
placed in the W register. If ’d’ is one, the result is placed  
in the file register specified in the instruction.  
0xhh  
where h signifies a hexadecimal digit.  
FIGURE 12-1: GENERAL FORMAT FOR  
INSTRUCTIONS  
For bit-oriented instructions, ’b’ represents a bit field  
designator which selects the number of the bit affected  
by the operation, while ’f’ represents the number of the  
file in which the bit is located.

All instructions are executed within one single instruc-  
tion cycle, unless a conditional test is true or the pro-  
gram counter is changed as a result of an instruction.  
In this case, the execution takes two instruction cycles  
with the second cycle executed as a NOP. One instruc-  
tion cycle consists of four oscillator periods. Thus, for  
an oscillator frequency of 4 MHz, the normal instruction

Note 1: When an I/O register is modified as a function of itself ( e.g., MOVF PORTB, 1), the value used will be that value present  
on the pins themselves. For example, if the data latch is ’1’ for a pin configured as input and is driven low by an external  
device, the data will be written back with a ’0’.  
2: If this instruction is executed on the TMR0 register (and, where applicable, d = 1), the prescaler will be cleared if assigned  
to the Timer0 Module.  
3: If Program Counter (PC) is modified or a conditional test is true, the instruction requires two cycles. The second cycle is  
executed as a NOP.

cessors. The universal architecture of the MPLAB-ICE  
allows expansion to support new PICmicro microcon-  
trollers.  
13.4  
MPLINK/MPLIB Linker/Librarian  
MPLINK is a relocatable linker for MPASM and  
MPLAB-C17 and MPLAB-C18. It can link relocatable  
objects from assembly or C source files along with pre-  
compiled libraries using directives from a linker script.  
The MPLAB-ICE Emulator System has been designed  
as a real-time emulation system with advanced fea-  
tures that are generally found on more expensive devel-  
opment tools. The PC platform and Microsoft® Windows  
3.x/95/98 environment were chosen to best make these  
features available to you, the end user.  
MPLIB is a librarian for pre-compiled code to be used  
with MPLINK. When a routine from a library is called  
from another source file, only the modules that contains  
that routine will be linked in with the application. This  
allows large libraries to be used efficiently in many dif-  
ferent applications. MPLIB manages the creation and  
modification of library files.  
MPLAB-ICE 2000 is a full-featured emulator system  
with enhanced trace, trigger, and data monitoring fea-  
tures. Both systems use the same processor modules  
and will operate across the full operating speed range  
of the PICmicro MCU.  
MPLINK features include:  
• MPLINK works with MPASM and MPLAB-C17  
and MPLAB-C18.  
• MPLINK allows all memory areas to be defined as  
sections to provide link-time flexibility.

• MPLIB makes linking easier because single librar-  
ies can be included instead of many smaller files.  
• MPLIB helps keep code maintainable by grouping  
related modules together.  
• MPLIB commands allow libraries to be created  
and modules to be added, listed, replaced,  
deleted, or extracted.

programmable (OTP) microcontrollers. The modular  
system can support different subsets of PIC16C5X or  
PIC16CXXX products through the use of  
interchangeable personality modules or daughter  
boards. The emulator is capable of emulating without  
target application circuitry being present.  
13.5  
MPLAB-SIM Software Simulator  
The MPLAB-SIM Software Simulator allows code  
development in a PC host environment by simulating  
the PICmicro series microcontrollers on an instruction  
level. On any given instruction, the data areas can be  
examined or modified and stimuli can be applied from  
a file or user-defined key press to any of the pins. The  
execution can be performed in single step, execute until  
break, or trace mode.  
13.9  
MPLAB-ICD In-Circuit Debugger

MPLAB-C17 and MPLAB-C18 and MPASM. The Soft-  
ware Simulator offers the flexibility to develop and  
debug code outside of the laboratory environment mak-  
ing it an excellent multi-project software development  
tool.  
Microchip’s In-Circuit Debugger, MPLAB-ICD, is a pow-  
erful, low-cost run-time development tool. This tool is  
based on the flash PIC16F877 and can be used to  
develop for this and other PICmicro microcontrollers  
from the PIC16CXXX family. MPLAB-ICD utilizes the  
In-Circuit Debugging capability built into the  
PIC16F87X. This feature, along with Microchip’s In-Cir-  
cuit Serial Programming protocol, offers cost-effective  
in-circuit flash programming and debugging from the  
graphical user interface of the MPLAB Integrated  
Development Environment. This enables a designer to  
develop and debug source code by watching variables,  
single-stepping and setting break points. Running at  
full speed enables testing hardware in real-time. The  
MPLAB-ICD is also a programmer for the flash  
PIC16F87X family.

Note 1: Power dissipation is calculated as follows: Pdis = VDD x {IDD - IOH} + {(VDD - VOH) x IOH} + (VOl x IOL)  
2: Voltage spikes below VSS at the MCLR pin, inducing currents greater than 80 mA, may cause latch-up. Thus,  
a series resistor of 50-100should be used when applying a “low” level to the MCLR pin, rather than pulling  
this pin directly to VSS.  
3: PORTD and PORTE are not implemented on the 28-pin devices.  
† NOTICE: Stresses above those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the  
device. This is a stress rating only and functional operation of the device at those or any other conditions above those  
indicated in the operation listings of this specification is not implied. Exposure to maximum rating conditions for  
extended periods may affect device reliability.

Legend: * These parameters are characterized but not tested.

only and are not tested.  
Note 1: This is the limit to which VDD can be lowered without losing RAM data.  
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.  
The test conditions for all IDD measurements in active operation mode are:  
OSC1 = external square wave, from rail to rail; all I/O pins tristated, pulled to VDD  
MCLR = VDD; WDT enabled/disabled as specified.  
3: 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 hi-impedance state and tied to VDD and VSS.  
4: For RC osc configuration, current through Rext is not included. The current through the resistor can be esti-  
mated by the formula Ir = VDD/2Rext (mA) with Rext in kOhm.  
5: Timer1 oscillator (when enabled) adds approximately 20 µA to the specification. This value is from character-  
ization and is for design guidance only. This is not tested.  
6: The current is the additional current consumed when this peripheral is enabled. This current should be  
added to the base IDD or IPD measurement.  
7: When BOR is enabled, the device will operate correctly until the VBOR voltage trip point is reached.

Note 1: Instruction cycle period (TCY) equals four times the input oscillator time-base period. All specified values are  
based on characterization data for that particular oscillator type under standard operating conditions with the  
device executing code. Exceeding these specified limits may result in an unstable oscillator operation and/or  
higher than expected current consumption. All devices are tested to operate at "min." values with an external  
clock applied to the OSC1/CLKIN pin. When an external clock input is used, the "Max." cycle time limit is  
"DC" (no clock) for all devices.
