Note the following details of the code protection feature on Microchip devices:  
Microchip products meet the specification contained in their particular Microchip Data Sheet.  
Microchip believes that its family of products is one of the most secure families of its kind on the market today, when used in the  
intended manner and under normal conditions.  
There are dishonest and possibly illegal methods used to breach the code protection feature. All of these methods, to our  
knowledge, require using the Microchip products in a manner outside the operating specifications contained in Microchip’s Data  
Sheets. Most likely, the person doing so is engaged in theft of intellectual property.  
Microchip is willing to work with the customer who is concerned about the integrity of their code.  
Neither Microchip nor any other semiconductor manufacturer can guarantee the security of their code. Code protection does not  
mean that we are guaranteeing the product as “unbreakable.”  
Code protection is constantly evolving. We at Microchip are committed to continuously improving the code protection features of our  
products. Attempts to break Microchip’s code protection feature may be a violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. If such acts

1.1.2  
MULTIPLE OSCILLATOR OPTIONS  
AND FEATURES  
1.0  
DEVICE OVERVIEW  
This document contains device specific information for  
the following devices:  
All of the devices in the PIC18F2X1X/4X1X family offer  
ten different oscillator options, allowing users a wide  
range of choices in developing application hardware.  
These include:  
• PIC18F2410  
• PIC18F2510  
• PIC18F2515  
• PIC18F2610  
• PIC18F4410  
• PIC18F4510  
• PIC18F4515  
• PIC18F4610  
• PIC18LF2410  
• PIC18LF2510  
• PIC18LF2515  
• PIC18LF2610  
• PIC18LF4410  
• PIC18LF4510  
• PIC18LF4515  
• PIC18LF4610  
• Four Crystal modes, using crystals or ceramic  
resonators  
• Two External Clock modes, offering the option of  
using two pins (oscillator input and a divide-by-4  
clock output) or one pin (oscillator input, with the  
second pin reassigned as general I/O)  
• Two External RC Oscillator modes with the same  
pin options as the External Clock modes  
This family offers the advantages of all PIC18  
microcontrollers namely, high computational  
• An internal oscillator block which provides an  
8 MHz clock and an INTRC source (approxi-  
mately 31 kHz), as well as a range of 6 user  
selectable clock frequencies, between 125 kHz to  
4 MHz, for a total of 8 clock frequencies. This  
option frees the two oscillator pins for use as  
additional general purpose I/O.  
performance at an economical price – with the addition  
of high-endurance, Flash program memory. On top of  
these features, the PIC18F2X1X/4X1X family introduces  
design enhancements that make these microcontrollers  
a logical choice for many high-performance, power  
sensitive applications.  
• A Phase Lock Loop (PLL) frequency multiplier,  
available to both the high-speed crystal and Inter-  
nal Oscillator modes, which allows clock speeds of  
up to 40 MHz. Used with the internal oscillator, the  
PLL gives users a complete selection of clock  
speeds, from 31 kHz to 32 MHz – all without using  
an external crystal or clock circuit.  
1.1  
New Core Features  
1.1.1  
nanoWatt TECHNOLOGY  
All of the devices in the PIC18F2X1X/4X1X family  
incorporate a range of features that can significantly  
reduce power consumption during operation. Key  
items include:  
Besides its availability as a clock source, the internal  
oscillator block provides a stable reference source that  
gives the family additional features for robust  
operation:  
Alternate Run Modes: By clocking the controller  
from the Timer1 source or the internal oscillator  
block, power consumption during code execution  
can be reduced by as much as 90%.  
Fail-Safe Clock Monitor: This option constantly  
monitors the main clock source against a  
reference signal provided by the internal  
oscillator. If a clock failure occurs, the controller is  
switched to the internal oscillator block, allowing  
for continued low-speed operation or a safe  
application shutdown.  
Multiple Idle Modes: The controller can also run  
with its CPU core disabled but the peripherals still  
active. In these states, power consumption can be  
reduced even further, to as little as 4% of normal  
operation requirements.  
On-the-fly Mode Switching: The power-  
managed modes are invoked by user code during  
operation, allowing the user to incorporate power-  
saving ideas into their application’s software  
design.  
Two-Speed Start-up: This option allows the  
internal oscillator to serve as the clock source  
from Power-on Reset, or wake-up from Sleep  
mode, until the primary clock source is available.  
Lower Consumption in Key Modules: The  
power requirements for both Timer1 and the

Other Special Features

Details on Individual Family  
Members  
Memory Endurance: The Flash cells for program  
memory are rated to 100,000 erase/write cycles.  
Data retention without refresh is conservatively  
estimated to be greater than 40 years.  
Devices in the PIC18F2X1X/4X1X family are available  
in 28-pin and 40/44-pin packages. Block diagrams for  
the two groups are shown in Figure 1-1 and Figure 1-2.  
Extended Instruction Set: The PIC18F2X1X/  
4X1X family introduces an optional extension to  
the PIC18 instruction set, which adds 8 new  
instructions and an Indexed Addressing mode.  
This extension, enabled as a device configuration  
option, has been specifically designed to optimize  
re-entrant application code originally developed in  
high-level languages, such as C.  
The devices are differentiated from each other in five  
ways:  
1. Flash program memory  
• 16 Kbytes for PIC18F2410/4410 devices  
• 32 Kbytes for PIC18F2510/4510 devices  
• 48 Kbytes for PIC18F2515/4515 devices  
• 64 Kbytes for PIC18F2610/4610 devices  
Enhanced CCP Module: In PWM mode, this  
module provides 1, 2 or 4 modulated outputs for  
controlling half-bridge and full-bridge drivers.  
Other features include Auto-Shutdown, for  
disabling PWM outputs on interrupt or other select  
conditions and Auto-Restart, to reactivate outputs  
once the condition has cleared.  
2. A/D channels (10 for 28-pin devices, 13 for  
40/44-pin devices).  
3. I/O ports (3 bidirectional ports on 28-pin devices,  
5 bidirectional ports on 40/44-pin devices).  
4. CCP and Enhanced CCP implementation (28-pin  
devices have 2 standard CCP modules; 40/44-pin  
devices have one standard CCP module and one  
ECCP module).  
Enhanced Addressable USART: This serial  
communication module is capable of standard  
RS-232 operation and provides support for the LIN  
bus protocol. Other enhancements include auto-  
matic baud rate detection and a 16-bit Baud Rate  
Generator for improved resolution. When the  
microcontroller is using the internal oscillator  
block, the USART provides stable operation for  
applications that talk to the outside world without  
using an external crystal (or its accompanying  
power requirement).  
5. Parallel Slave Port (present only on 40/44-pin  
devices).  
All other features for devices in this family are identical.  
These are summarized in Table 1-1.  
The pinouts for all devices are listed in Table 1-3 and  
Table 1-4.  
Like all Microchip PIC18 devices, members of the  
PIC18F2X1X/4X1X family are available as both  
standard and low-voltage devices. Standard devices  
with Flash memory, designated with an “F” in the part  
number (such as PIC18F2610), accommodate an  
operating VDD range of 4.2V to 5.5V. Low-voltage  
parts, designated by “LF” (such as PIC18LF2610),  
function over an extended VDD range of 2.0V to 5.5V.  
10-bit A/D Converter: This module incorporates  
programmable acquisition time, allowing for a  
channel to be selected and a conversion to be  
initiated without waiting for a sampling period and  
thus, reduce code overhead.  
Extended Watchdog Timer (WDT): This  
enhanced version incorporates a 16-bit prescaler,  
allowing an extended time-out range that is stable  
across operating voltage and temperature. See  
Section 25.0 “Electrical Characteristics” for  
time-out periods.

Crystal Oscillator/Ceramic  
Resonators

In XT, LP, HS or HSPLL Oscillator modes, a crystal or  
ceramic resonator is connected to the OSC1 and  
OSC2 pins to establish oscillation. Figure 2-1 shows  
the pin connections.  
Capacitor values are for design guidance only.  
Different capacitor values may be required to produce  
acceptable oscillator operation. The user should test  
the performance of the oscillator over the expected  
VDD and temperature range for the application.  
The oscillator design requires the use of a parallel cut  
crystal.  
See the notes following Table 2-2 for additional  
information.  
Note:  
Use of a series cut crystal may give a  
frequency out of the crystal manufacturer’s  
specifications.  
Note:  
When using resonators with frequencies  
above 3.5 MHz, the use of HS mode,  
rather than XT mode, is recommended.  
HS mode may be used at any VDD for  
which the controller is rated. If HS is  
selected, it is possible that the gain of the  
oscillator will overdrive the resonator.  
Therefore, a series resistor should be  
placed between the OSC2 pin and the  
resonator. As a good starting point, the  
recommended value of RS is 330Ω.

External Clock Input  
Different capacitor values may be required to produce  
acceptable oscillator operation. The user should test  
the performance of the oscillator over the expected  
VDD and temperature range for the application.  
The EC and ECIO Oscillator modes require an external  
clock source to be connected to the OSC1 pin. There is  
no oscillator start-up time required after a Power-on  
Reset or after an exit from Sleep mode.  
See the notes following this table for additional  
information.  
In the EC Oscillator mode, the oscillator frequency  
divided by 4 is available on the OSC2 pin. This signal  
may be used for test purposes or to synchronize other  
logic. Figure 2-3 shows the pin connections for the EC  
Oscillator mode.  
Note 1: Higher capacitance increases the stability  
of the oscillator but also increases the  
start-up time.  
FIGURE 2-3:  
EXTERNAL CLOCK  
INPUT OPERATION  
(EC CONFIGURATION)  
2: When operating below 3V VDD, or when  
using certain ceramic resonators at any  
voltage, it may be necessary to use the  
HS mode or switch to a crystal oscillator.  
3: Since each resonator/crystal has its own  
characteristics, the user should consult

PORTA (RA6). Figure 2-4 shows the pin connections

PLL Frequency Multiplier  
For timing insensitive applications, the “RC” and  
“RCIO” device options offer additional cost savings.  
The actual oscillator frequency is a function of several  
factors:  
A Phase Locked Loop (PLL) circuit is provided as an  
option for users who wish to use a lower frequency  
oscillator circuit or to clock the device up to its highest  
rated frequency from a crystal oscillator. This may be  
useful for customers who are concerned with EMI due  
to high-frequency crystals or users who require higher  
clock speeds from an internal oscillator.

• values of the external resistor (REXT) and  
capacitor (CEXT)  
• operating temperature  
2.5.1  
HSPLL OSCILLATOR MODE  
Given the same device, operating voltage and tempera-  
ture and component values, there will also be unit-to-unit  
frequency variations. These are due to factors such as:  
The HSPLL mode makes use of the HS mode oscillator  
for frequencies up to 10 MHz. A PLL then multiplies the  
oscillator output frequency by 4 to produce an internal  
clock frequency up to 40 MHz. The PLLEN bit is not  
available in this oscillator mode.  
• normal manufacturing variation  
• difference in lead frame capacitance between  
package types (especially for low CEXT values)  
The PLL is only available to the crystal oscillator when  
the FOSC3:FOSC0 Configuration bits are programmed  
for HSPLL mode (= 0110).  
• variations within the tolerance of limits of REXT  
and CEXT  
In the RC Oscillator mode, the oscillator frequency  
divided by 4 is available on the OSC2 pin. This signal  
may be used for test purposes or to synchronize other  
logic. Figure 2-5 shows how the R/C combination is  
connected.

The RCIO Oscillator mode (Figure 2-6) functions like

becomes bit 6 of PORTA (RA6).

PLL AND INTOSC  
The PLL is also available to the internal oscillator block  
in selected oscillator modes. In this configuration, the  
PLL is enabled in software and generates a clock  
output of up to 32 MHz. The operation of INTOSC with  
the PLL is described in Section 2.6.4 “PLL in INTOSC  
Modes”.

PIC18F2X1X/4X1X  
When the OSCTUNE register is modified, the INTOSC  
frequency will begin shifting to the new frequency. The  
INTRC clock will reach the new frequency within  
8 clock cycles (approximately 8 * 32 μs = 256 μs). The  
INTOSC clock will stabilize within 1 ms. Code execu-  
tion continues during this shift. There is no indication  
that the shift has occurred.  
2.6  
Internal Oscillator Block  
The PIC18F2X1X/4X1X devices include an internal  
oscillator block which generates two different clock  
signals; either can be used as the microcontroller’s  
clock source. This may eliminate the need for external  
oscillator circuits on the OSC1 and/or OSC2 pins.  
The main output (INTOSC) is an 8 MHz clock source,  
which can be used to directly drive the device clock. It  
also drives a postscaler, which can provide a range of  
clock frequencies from 31 kHz to 4 MHz. The INTOSC  
output is enabled when a clock frequency from 125 kHz  
to 8 MHz is selected.  
The OSCTUNE register also implements the INTSRC  
and PLLEN bits, which control certain features of the  
internal oscillator block. The INTSRC bit allows users  
to select which internal oscillator provides the clock  
source when the 31 kHz frequency option is selected.  
This is covered in greater detail in Section 2.7.1  
“Oscillator Control Register”.  
The other clock source is the internal RC oscillator  
(INTRC), which provides a nominal 31 kHz output.  
INTRC is enabled if it is selected as the device clock  
source; it is also enabled automatically when any of the  
following are enabled:  
The PLLEN bit controls the operation of the frequency  
multiplier, PLL, in Internal Oscillator modes.  
2.6.4  
PLL IN INTOSC MODES  
• Power-up Timer  
The 4x frequency multiplier can be used with the  
internal oscillator block to produce faster device clock  
speeds than are normally possible with an internal  
oscillator. When enabled, the PLL produces a clock  
speed of up to 32 MHz.  
• Fail-Safe Clock Monitor  
• Watchdog Timer  
• Two-Speed Start-up  
These features are discussed in greater detail in  
Section 22.0 “Special Features of the CPU”.  
Unlike HSPLL mode, the PLL is controlled through  
software. The control bit, PLLEN (OSCTUNE<6>), is  
used to enable or disable its operation.  
The clock source frequency (INTOSC direct, INTRC  
direct or INTOSC postscaler) is selected by configuring  
the IRCF bits of the OSCCON register (page 30).  
The PLL is available when the device is configured to  
use the internal oscillator block as its primary clock  
source (FOSC3:FOSC0 = 1001or 1000). Additionally,  
the PLL will only function when the selected output fre-  
quency is either 4 MHz or 8 MHz (OSCCON<6:4> = 111  
or 110). If both of these conditions are not met, the PLL  
is disabled.  
2.6.1  
INTIO MODES  
Using the internal oscillator as the clock source elimi-  
nates the need for up to two external oscillator pins,  
which can then be used for digital I/O. Two distinct  
configurations are available:  
The PLLEN control bit is only functional in those  
internal Oscillator modes where the PLL is available. In  
all other modes, it is forced to ‘0’ and is effectively  
unavailable.  
• In INTIO1 mode, the OSC2 pin outputs FOSC/4,  
while OSC1 functions as RA7 for digital input and  
output.  
• In INTIO2 mode, OSC1 functions as RA7 and  
OSC2 functions as RA6, both for digital input and  
output.  
2.6.5  
INTOSC FREQUENCY DRIFT  
The factory calibrates the internal oscillator block  
output (INTOSC) for 8 MHz. However, this frequency  
may drift as VDD or temperature changes, which can  
affect the controller operation in a variety of ways. It is  
possible to adjust the INTOSC frequency by modifying  
the value in the OSCTUNE register. This has no effect  
on the INTRC clock source frequency.  
2.6.2  
INTOSC OUTPUT FREQUENCY  
The internal oscillator block is calibrated at the factory  
to produce an INTOSC output frequency of 8.0 MHz.  
The INTRC oscillator operates independently of the  
INTOSC source. Any changes in INTOSC across  
voltage and temperature are not necessarily reflected  
by changes in INTRC and vice versa.  
Tuning the INTOSC source requires knowing when to  
make the adjustment, in which direction it should be  
made and in some cases, how large a change is  
needed. Three compensation techniques are  
discussed in Section 2.6.5.1 “Compensating with  
the USART”, Section 2.6.5.2 “Compensating with  
the Timers” and Section 2.6.5.3 “Compensating  
with the CCP Module in Capture Mode”, but other  
techniques may be used.  
2.6.3  
OSCTUNE REGISTER  
The internal oscillator’s output has been calibrated at  
the factory but can be adjusted in the user’s applica-  
tion. This is done by writing to the OSCTUNE register  
(Register 2-1). The tuning sensitivity is constant  
throughout the tuning range.

2.6.5.1  
Compensating with the USART  
2.6.5.3  
Compensating with the CCP Module  
in Capture Mode  
An adjustment may be required when the USART  
begins to generate framing errors or receives data with  
errors while in Asynchronous mode. Framing errors  
indicate that the device clock frequency is too high; to  
adjust for this, decrement the value in OSCTUNE to  
reduce the clock frequency. On the other hand, errors  
in data may suggest that the clock speed is too low; to  
compensate, increment OSCTUNE to increase the  
clock frequency.  
A CCP module can use free running Timer1 (or  
Timer3), clocked by the internal oscillator block and an  
external event with a known period (i.e., AC power  
frequency). The time of the first event is captured in the  
CCPRxH:CCPRxL registers and is recorded for use  
later. When the second event causes a capture, the  
time of the first event is subtracted from the time of the  
second event. Since the period of the external event is  
known, the time difference between events can be  
calculated.  
2.6.5.2  
Compensating with the Timers  
This technique compares device clock speed to some  
reference clock. Two timers may be used; one timer is  
clocked by the peripheral clock, while the other is  
clocked by a fixed reference source, such as the  
Timer1 oscillator.  
If the measured time is much greater than the calcu-  
lated time, the internal oscillator block is running too  
fast; to compensate, decrement the OSCTUNE register.  
If the measured time is much less than the calculated  
time, the internal oscillator block is running too slow; to  
compensate, increment the OSCTUNE register.  
Both timers are cleared, but the timer clocked by the  
reference generates interrupts. When an interrupt  
occurs, the internally clocked timer is read and both  
timers are cleared. If the internally clocked timer value  
is greater than expected, then the internal oscillator  
block is running too fast. To adjust for this, decrement  
the OSCTUNE register.

PIC18F2X1X/4X1X  
The secondary oscillators are those external sources  
not connected to the OSC1 or OSC2 pins. These  
sources may continue to operate even after the  
controller is placed in a power-managed mode.  
2.7  
Clock Sources and Oscillator  
Switching  
Like previous PIC18 devices, the PIC18F2X1X/4X1X  
family includes a feature that allows the device clock  
source to be switched from the main oscillator to an  
alternate low-frequency clock source. PIC18F2X1X/  
4X1X devices offer two alternate clock sources. When  
an alternate clock source is enabled, the various  
power-managed operating modes are available.  
PIC18F2X1X/4X1X devices offer the Timer1 oscillator  
as a secondary oscillator. This oscillator, in all power-  
managed modes, is often the time base for functions  
such as a real-time clock.  
Most often, a 32.768 kHz watch crystal is connected  
between the RC0/T1OSO/T13CKI and RC1/T1OSI  
pins. Like the LP mode oscillator circuit, loading  
capacitors are also connected from each pin to ground.  
Essentially, there are three clock sources for these  
devices:  
• Primary oscillators  
The Timer1 oscillator is discussed in greater detail in  
Section 11.3 “Timer1 Oscillator”.  
• Secondary oscillators  
• Internal oscillator block  
In addition to being a primary clock source, the internal  
oscillator block is available as a power-managed  
mode clock source. The INTRC source is also used as  
the clock source for several special features, such as  
the WDT and Fail-Safe Clock Monitor.  
The primary oscillators include the External Crystal  
and Resonator modes, the External RC modes, the  
External Clock modes and the internal oscillator block.  
The particular mode is defined by the FOSC3:FOSC0  
Configuration bits. The details of these modes are  
covered earlier in this chapter.  
The clock sources for the PIC18F2X1X/4X1X devices  
are shown in Figure 2-8. See Section 22.0 “Special  
Features of the CPU” for Configuration register details.

The IDLEN bit determines if the device goes into Sleep  
mode or one of the Idle modes when the SLEEP  
instruction is executed.  
2.7.1  
OSCILLATOR CONTROL REGISTER  
The OSCCON register (Register 2-2) controls several  
aspects of the device clock’s operation, both in full  
power operation and in power-managed modes.  
The use of the flag and control bits in the OSCCON  
register is discussed in more detail in Section 3.0  
“Power-Managed Modes”.  
The System Clock Select bits, SCS1:SCS0, select the  
clock source. The available clock sources are the  
primary clock (defined by the FOSC3:FOSC0 Configu-  
ration bits), the secondary clock (Timer1 oscillator) and  
the internal oscillator block. The clock source changes  
immediately after one or more of the bits is written to,  
following a brief clock transition interval. The SCS bits  
are cleared on all forms of Reset.  
Note 1: The Timer1 oscillator must be enabled to  
select the secondary clock source. The  
Timer1 oscillator is enabled by setting the  
T1OSCEN bit in the Timer1 Control regis-  
ter (T1CON<3>). If the Timer1 oscillator  
is not enabled, then any attempt to select  
a secondary clock source will be ignored.  
The Internal Oscillator Frequency Select bits  
(IRCF2:IRCF0) select the frequency output of the  
internal oscillator block to drive the device clock. The  
choices are the INTRC source, the INTOSC source  
(8 MHz) or one of the frequencies derived from the  
INTOSC postscaler (31.25 kHz to 4 MHz). If the  
internal oscillator block is supplying the device clock,  
changing the states of these bits will have an immedi-  
ate change on the internal oscillator’s output. On  
device Resets, the default output frequency of the  
internal oscillator block is set at 1 MHz.  
2: It is recommended that the Timer1  
oscillator be operating and stable before  
selecting the secondary clock source or a  
very long delay may occur while the  
Timer1 oscillator starts.  
2.7.2  
OSCILLATOR TRANSITIONS  
PIC18F2X1X/4X1X devices contain circuitry to prevent  
clock “glitches” when switching between clock sources.  
A short pause in the device clock occurs during the  
clock switch. The length of this pause is the sum of two  
cycles of the old clock source and three to four cycles  
of the new clock source. This formula assumes that the  
new clock source is stable.  
When a nominal output frequency of 31 kHz is selected  
(IRCF2:IRCF0 = 000), users may choose which inter-  
nal oscillator acts as the source. This is done with the  
INTSRC bit in the OSCTUNE register (OSCTUNE<7>).  
Setting this bit selects INTOSC as a 31.25 kHz clock  
source by enabling the divide-by-256 output of the  
INTOSC postscaler. Clearing INTSRC selects INTRC  
(nominally 31 kHz) as the clock source.  
Clock transitions are discussed in greater detail in  
Section 3.1.2 “Entering Power-Managed Modes”.  
This option allows users to select the tunable and more  
precise INTOSC as a clock source, while maintaining  
power savings with a very low clock speed. Regardless  
of the setting of INTSRC, INTRC always remains the  
clock source for features such as the Watchdog Timer  
and the Fail-Safe Clock Monitor.  
The OSTS, IOFS and T1RUN bits indicate which clock  
source is currently providing the device clock. The  
OSTS bit indicates that the Oscillator Start-up Timer  
has timed out and the primary clock is providing the  
device clock in Primary Clock modes. The IOFS bit  
indicates when the internal oscillator block has stabi-  
lized and is providing the device clock in RC Clock  
modes. The T1RUN bit (T1CON<6>) indicates when  
the Timer1 oscillator is providing the device clock in  
Secondary Clock modes. In power-managed modes,  
only one of these three bits will be set at any time. If  
none of these bits are set, the INTRC is providing the  
clock or the internal oscillator block has just started and  
is not yet stable.

time clock. Other features may be operating that do not  
require a device clock source (i.e., SSP slave, PSP,  
INTn pins and others). Peripherals that may add  
significant current consumption are listed in  
Section 25.2 “DC Characteristics”.  
2.8  
Effects of Power-Managed Modes  
on the Various Clock Sources  
When PRI_IDLE mode is selected, the designated  
primary oscillator continues to run without interruption.  
For all other power-managed modes, the oscillator  
using the OSC1 pin is disabled. The OSC1 pin (and  
OSC2 pin, if used by the oscillator) will stop oscillating.  
2.9  
Power-up Delays  
Power-up delays are controlled by two timers, so that  
no external Reset circuitry is required for most applica-  
tions. The delays ensure that the device is kept in  
Reset until the device power supply is stable under nor-  
mal circumstances and the primary clock is operating  
and stable. For additional information on power-up  
delays, see Section 4.5 “Device Reset Timers”.  
In Secondary Clock modes (SEC_RUN and  
SEC_IDLE), the Timer1 oscillator is operating and  
providing the device clock. The Timer1 oscillator may  
also run in all power-managed modes if required to  
clock Timer1 or Timer3.  
In Internal Oscillator modes (RC_RUN and RC_IDLE),  
the internal oscillator block provides the device clock  
source. The 31 kHz INTRC output can be used directly  
to provide the clock and may be enabled to support  
various special features, regardless of the power-  
managed mode (see Section 22.2 “Watchdog Timer  
(WDT)”, Section 22.3 “Two-Speed Start-up” and  
Section 22.4 “Fail-Safe Clock Monitor” for more  
information on WDT, Fail-Safe Clock Monitor and Two-  
Speed Start-up). The INTOSC output at 8 MHz may be  
used directly to clock the device or may be divided  
down by the postscaler. The INTOSC output is disabled  
if the clock is provided directly from the INTRC output.  
The first timer is the Power-up Timer (PWRT), which  
provides a fixed delay on power-up (parameter 33,  
Table 25-10). It is enabled by clearing (= 0) the  
PWRTEN Configuration bit.  
The second timer is the Oscillator Start-up Timer  
(OST), intended to keep the chip in Reset until the  
crystal oscillator is stable (LP, XT and HS modes). The  
OST does this by counting 1024 oscillator cycles  
before allowing the oscillator to clock the device.  
When the HSPLL Oscillator mode is selected, the  
device is kept in Reset for an additional 2 ms, following  
the HS mode OST delay, so the PLL can lock to the  
incoming clock frequency.  
If the Sleep mode is selected, all clock sources are  
stopped. Since all the transistor switching currents  
have been stopped, Sleep mode achieves the lowest  
current consumption of the device (only leakage  
currents).  
There is a delay of interval TCSD (parameter 38,  
Table 25-10), following POR, while the controller  
becomes ready to execute instructions. This delay runs  
concurrently with any other delays. This may be the  
only delay that occurs when any of the EC, RC or INTIO  
modes are used as the primary clock source.  
Enabling any on-chip feature that will operate during  
Sleep will increase the current consumed during Sleep.  
The INTRC is required to support WDT operation. The  
Timer1 oscillator may be operating to support a real-

CLOCK SOURCES

POWER-MANAGED MODES  
The SCS1:SCS0 bits allow the selection of one of three  
clock sources for power-managed modes. They are:  
PIC18F2X1X/4X1X devices offer a total of seven oper-  
ating modes for more efficient power management.  
These modes provide a variety of options for selective  
power conservation in applications where resources  
may be limited (i.e., battery-powered devices).  
• the primary clock, as defined by the  
FOSC3:FOSC0 Configuration bits  
• the secondary clock (the Timer1 oscillator)  
• the internal oscillator block (for RC modes)  
There are three categories of power-managed modes:  
• Run modes  
• Idle modes  
• Sleep mode  
3.1.2  
ENTERING POWER-MANAGED  
MODES  
Switching from one power-managed mode to another  
begins by loading the OSCCON register. The  
SCS1:SCS0 bits select the clock source and determine  
which Run or Idle mode is to be used. Changing these  
bits causes an immediate switch to the new clock  
source, assuming that it is running. The switch may  
also be subject to clock transition delays. These are  
discussed in Section 3.1.3 “Clock Transitions and  
Status Indicators” and subsequent sections.  
These categories define which portions of the device  
are clocked and sometimes, what speed. The Run and  
Idle modes may use any of the three available clock  
sources (primary, secondary or internal oscillator  
block); the Sleep mode does not use a clock source.  
The power-managed modes include several power-  
saving features offered on previous PIC® devices. One  
is the clock switching feature, offered in other PIC18  
devices, allowing the controller to use the Timer1 oscil-  
lator in place of the primary oscillator. Also included is  
the Sleep mode, offered by all PIC devices, where all  
device clocks are stopped.  
Entry to the power-managed Idle or Sleep modes is  
triggered by the execution of a SLEEPinstruction. The  
actual mode that results depends on the status of the  
IDLEN bit.  
Depending on the current mode and the mode being  
switched to, a change to a power-managed mode does  
not always require setting all of these bits. Many  
transitions may be done by changing the oscillator select  
bits, or changing the IDLEN bit, prior to issuing a SLEEP  
instruction. If the IDLEN bit is already configured  
correctly, it may only be necessary to perform a SLEEP  
instruction to switch to the desired mode.  
3.1  
Selecting Power-Managed Modes  
Selecting  
a power-managed mode requires two  
decisions: if the CPU is to be clocked or not and the  
selection of clock source. The IDLEN bit  
(OSCCON<7>) controls CPU clocking, while the  
SCS1:SCS0 bits (OSCCON<1:0>) select the clock  
source. The individual modes, bit settings, clock sources  
and affected modules are summarized in Table 3-1.

CLOCK TRANSITIONS AND  
STATUS INDICATORS  
3.2  
Run Modes  
In the Run modes, clocks to both the core and  
peripherals are active. The difference between these  
modes is the clock source.  
The length of the transition between clock sources is  
the sum of two cycles of the old clock source and three  
to four cycles of the new clock source. This formula  
assumes that the new clock source is stable.  
3.2.1  
PRI_RUN MODE  
Three bits indicate the current clock source and its  
status. They are:  
The PRI_RUN mode is the normal, full power execution  
mode of the microcontroller. This is also the default  
mode upon a device Reset, unless Two-Speed Start-up  
is enabled (see Section 22.3 “Two-Speed Start-up”  
for details). In this mode, the OSTS bit is set. The IOFS  
bit may be set if the internal oscillator block is the  
primary clock source (see Section 2.7.1 “Oscillator  
Control Register”).  
• OSTS (OSCCON<3>)  
• IOFS (OSCCON<2>)  
• T1RUN (T1CON<6>)  
In general, only one of these bits will be set while in a  
given power-managed mode. When the OSTS bit is  
set, the primary clock is providing the device clock.  
When the IOFS bit is set, the INTOSC output is  
providing a stable 8 MHz clock source to a divider that  
actually drives the device clock. When the T1RUN bit is  
set, the Timer1 oscillator is providing the clock. If none  
of these bits are set, then either the INTRC clock  
source is clocking the device, or the INTOSC source is  
not yet stable.  
3.2.2  
SEC_RUN MODE  
The SEC_RUN mode is the compatible mode to the  
“clock switching” feature offered in other PIC18  
devices. In this mode, the CPU and peripherals are  
clocked from the Timer1 oscillator. This gives users the  
option of lower power consumption while still using a  
high accuracy clock source.  
If the internal oscillator block is configured as the  
primary clock source by the FOSC3:FOSC0 Configura-  
tion bits, then both the OSTS and IOFS bits may be set  
when in PRI_RUN or PRI_IDLE modes. This indicates  
that the primary clock (INTOSC output) is generating a  
stable 8 MHz output. Entering another power-managed  
RC mode at the same frequency would clear the OSTS  
bit.  
SEC_RUN mode is entered by setting the SCS1:SCS0  
bits to ‘01’. The device clock source is switched to the  
Timer1 oscillator (see Figure 3-1), the primary oscilla-  
tor is shut down, the T1RUN bit (T1CON<6>) is set and  
the OSTS bit is cleared.  
Note:  
The Timer1 oscillator should already be  
running prior to entering SEC_RUN mode.  
If the T1OSCEN bit is not set when the  
SCS1:SCS0 bits are set to ‘01’, entry to  
SEC_RUN mode will not occur. If the  
Timer1 oscillator is enabled but not yet  
running, device clocks will be delayed until  
the oscillator has started. In such situa-  
tions, initial oscillator operation is far from  
stable and unpredictable operation may  
result.  
Note 1: Caution should be used when modifying a  
single IRCF bit. If VDD is less than 3V, it is  
possible to select a higher clock speed  
than is supported by the low VDD.  
Improper device operation may result if  
the VDD/FOSC specifications are violated.  
2: Executing a SLEEP instruction does not  
necessarily place the device into Sleep  
mode. It acts as the trigger to place the  
controller into either the Sleep mode or  
one of the Idle modes, depending on the  
setting of the IDLEN bit.  
On transitions from SEC_RUN mode to PRI_RUN, the  
peripherals and CPU continue to be clocked from the  
Timer1 oscillator while the primary clock is started.  
When the primary clock becomes ready, a clock switch  
back to the primary clock occurs (see Figure 3-2).  
When the clock switch is complete, the T1RUN bit is  
cleared, the OSTS bit is set and the primary clock is  
providing the clock. The IDLEN and SCS bits are not  
affected by the wake-up; the Timer1 oscillator  
continues to run.  
3.1.4  
MULTIPLE SLEEP COMMANDS  
The power-managed mode that is invoked with the  
SLEEP instruction is determined by the setting of the  
IDLEN bit at the time the instruction is executed. If  
another SLEEPinstruction is executed, the device will  
enter the power-managed mode specified by IDLEN at  
that time. If IDLEN has changed, the device will enter  
the new power-managed mode specified by the new  
setting.

This mode is entered by setting SCS1 to ‘1’. Although  
3.2.3  
RC_RUN MODE  
it is ignored, it is recommended that SCS0 also be  
cleared; this is to maintain software compatibility with  
future devices. When the clock source is switched to  
the INTOSC multiplexer (see Figure 3-3), the primary  
oscillator is shut down and the OSTS bit is cleared. The  
IRCF bits may be modified at any time to immediately  
change the clock speed.  
In RC_RUN mode, the CPU and peripherals are  
clocked from the internal oscillator block using the  
INTOSC multiplexer. In this mode, the primary clock is  
shut down. When using the INTRC source, this mode  
provides the best power conservation of all the Run  
modes, while still executing code. It works well for user  
applications which are not highly timing sensitive or do  
not require high-speed clocks at all times.  
Note:  
Caution should be used when modifying a  
single IRCF bit. If VDD is less than 3V, it is  
possible to select a higher clock speed  
than is supported by the low VDD.  
Improper device operation may result if  
the VDD/FOSC specifications are violated.  
If the primary clock source is the internal oscillator  
block (either INTRC or INTOSC), there are no  
distinguishable differences between PRI_RUN and  
RC_RUN modes during execution. However, a clock  
switch delay will occur during entry to and exit from  
RC_RUN mode. Therefore, if the primary clock source  
is the internal oscillator block, the use of RC_RUN  
mode is not recommended.

If the IRCF bits and the INTSRC bit are all clear, the  
INTOSC output is not enabled and the IOFS bit will  
remain clear; there will be no indication of the current  
clock source. The INTRC source is providing the  
device clocks.  
On transitions from RC_RUN mode to PRI_RUN mode,  
the device continues to be clocked from the INTOSC  
multiplexer while the primary clock is started. When the  
primary clock becomes ready, a clock switch to the  
primary clock occurs (see Figure 3-4). When the clock  
switch is complete, the IOFS bit is cleared, the OSTS  
bit is set and the primary clock is providing the device  
clock. The IDLEN and SCS bits are not affected by the  
switch. The INTRC source will continue to run if either  
the WDT or the Fail-Safe Clock Monitor is enabled.  
If the IRCF bits are changed from all clear (thus,  
enabling the INTOSC output) or if INTSRC is set, the  
IOFS bit becomes set after the INTOSC output  
becomes stable. Clocks to the device continue while  
the INTOSC source stabilizes after an interval of  
TIOBST.  
If the IRCF bits were previously at a non-zero value, or  
if INTSRC was set before setting SCS1 and the  
INTOSC source was already stable, the IOFS bit will  
remain set.

3.3  
Sleep Mode  
3.4  
Idle Modes  
The power-managed Sleep mode in the PIC18F2X1X/  
4X1X devices is identical to the legacy Sleep mode  
offered in all other PIC devices. It is entered by clearing  
the IDLEN bit (the default state on device Reset) and  
executing the SLEEPinstruction. This shuts down the  
selected oscillator (Figure 3-5). All clock source status  
bits are cleared.  
The Idle modes allow the controller’s CPU to be  
selectively shut down while the peripherals continue to  
operate. Selecting a particular Idle mode allows users  
to further manage power consumption.  
If the IDLEN bit is set to a ‘1’ when a SLEEPinstruction is  
executed, the peripherals will be clocked from the clock  
source selected using the SCS1:SCS0 bits; however, the  
CPU will not be clocked. The clock source status bits are  
not affected. Setting IDLEN and executing a SLEEP  
instruction provides a quick method of switching from a  
given Run mode to its corresponding Idle mode.  
Entering the Sleep mode from any other mode does not  
require a clock switch. This is because no clocks are  
needed once the controller has entered Sleep. If the  
WDT is selected, the INTRC source will continue to  
operate. If the Timer1 oscillator is enabled, it will also  
continue to run.  
If the WDT is selected, the INTRC source will continue  
to operate. If the Timer1 oscillator is enabled, it will also  
continue to run.  
When a wake event occurs in Sleep mode (by interrupt,  
Reset or WDT time-out), the device will not be clocked  
until the clock source selected by the SCS1:SCS0 bits  
becomes ready (see Figure 3-6), or it will be clocked  
from the internal oscillator block if either the Two-  
Speed Start-up or the Fail-Safe Clock Monitor are  
enabled (see Section 22.0 “Special Features of the  
CPU”). In either case, the OSTS bit is set when the pri-  
mary clock is providing the device clocks. The IDLEN  
and SCS bits are not affected by the wake-up.  
Since the CPU is not executing instructions, the only  
exits from any of the Idle modes are by interrupt, WDT  
time-out or a Reset. When a wake event occurs, CPU  
execution is delayed by an interval of TCSD  
(parameter 38, Table 25-10) while it becomes ready to  
execute code. When the CPU begins executing code,  
it resumes with the same clock source for the current  
Idle mode. For example, when waking from RC_IDLE  
mode, the internal oscillator block will clock the CPU  
and peripherals (in other words, RC_RUN mode). The  
IDLEN and SCS bits are not affected by the wake-up.  
While in any Idle mode or the Sleep mode, a WDT time-  
out will result in a WDT wake-up to the Run mode  
currently specified by the SCS1:SCS0 bits.

3.4.1  
PRI_IDLE MODE  
3.4.2  
SEC_IDLE MODE  
This mode is unique among the three low-power Idle  
modes, in that it does not disable the primary device  
clock. For timing sensitive applications, this allows for  
the fastest resumption of device operation with its more  
accurate primary clock source, since the clock source  
does not have to “warm up” or transition from another  
oscillator.  
In SEC_IDLE mode, the CPU is disabled but the  
peripherals continue to be clocked from the Timer1  
oscillator. This mode is entered from SEC_RUN by  
setting the IDLEN bit and executing  
a SLEEP  
instruction. If the device is in another Run mode, set  
IDLEN first, then set SCS1:SCS0 to ‘01’ and execute  
SLEEP. When the clock source is switched to the  
Timer1 oscillator, the primary oscillator is shut down,  
the OSTS bit is cleared and the T1RUN bit is set.  
PRI_IDLE mode is entered from PRI_RUN mode by  
setting the IDLEN bit and executing a SLEEPinstruc-  
tion. If the device is in another Run mode, set IDLEN  
first, then clear the SCS bits and execute SLEEP.  
Although the CPU is disabled, the peripherals continue  
to be clocked from the primary clock source specified  
by the FOSC3:FOSC0 Configuration bits. The OSTS  
bit remains set (see Figure 3-7).  
When a wake event occurs, the peripherals continue to  
be clocked from the Timer1 oscillator. After an interval  
of TCSD following the wake event, the CPU begins exe-  
cuting code being clocked by the Timer1 oscillator. The  
IDLEN and SCS bits are not affected by the wake-up;  
the Timer1 oscillator continues to run (see Figure 3-8).  
When a wake event occurs, the CPU is clocked from the  
primary clock source. A delay of interval TCSD is  
required between the wake event and when code  
execution starts. This is required to allow the CPU to  
become ready to execute instructions. After the wake-  
up, the OSTS bit remains set. The IDLEN and SCS bits  
are not affected by the wake-up (see Figure 3-8).  
Note:  
The Timer1 oscillator should already be  
running prior to entering SEC_IDLE mode.  
If the T1OSCEN bit is not set when the  
SLEEPinstruction is executed, the SLEEP  
instruction will be ignored and entry to  
SEC_IDLE mode will not occur. If the  
Timer1 oscillator is enabled but not yet  
running, peripheral clocks will be delayed  
until the oscillator has started. In such  
situations, initial oscillator operation is far  
from stable and unpredictable operation  
may result.

On all exits from Idle or Sleep modes by interrupt, code  
execution branches to the interrupt vector if the GIE/  
GIEH bit (INTCON<7>) is set. Otherwise, code execu-  
tion continues or resumes without branching (see  
Section 8.0 “Interrupts”).  
3.4.3  
RC_IDLE MODE  
In RC_IDLE mode, the CPU is disabled but the periph-  
erals continue to be clocked from the internal oscillator  
block using the INTOSC multiplexer. This mode allows  
for controllable power conservation during Idle periods.  
A fixed delay of interval TCSD following the wake event  
is required when leaving Sleep and Idle modes. This  
delay is required for the CPU to prepare for execution.  
Instruction execution resumes on the first clock cycle  
following this delay.  
From RC_RUN, this mode is entered by setting the  
IDLEN bit and executing a SLEEP instruction. If the  
device is in another Run mode, first set IDLEN, then set  
the SCS1 bit and execute SLEEP. Although its value is  
ignored, it is recommended that SCS0 also be cleared;  
this is to maintain software compatibility with future  
devices. The INTOSC multiplexer may be used to  
select a higher clock frequency by modifying the IRCF  
bits before executing the SLEEPinstruction. When the  
clock source is switched to the INTOSC multiplexer, the  
primary oscillator is shut down and the OSTS bit is  
cleared.  
3.5.2  
EXIT BY WDT TIME-OUT  
A WDT time-out will cause different actions depending  
on which power-managed mode the device is in when  
the time-out occurs.  
If the device is not executing code (all Idle modes and  
Sleep mode), the time-out will result in an exit from the  
powe-managed mode (see Section 3.2 “Run Modes”  
and Section 3.3 “Sleep Mode”). If the device is  
executing code (all Run modes), the time-out will result  
in a WDT Reset (see Section 22.2 “Watchdog Timer  
(WDT)”).  
If the IRCF bits are set to any non-zero value, or the  
INTSRC bit is set, the INTOSC output is enabled. The  
IOFS bit becomes set, after the INTOSC output  
becomes stable, after an interval of TIOBST  
(parameter 39, Table 25-10). Clocks to the peripherals  
continue while the INTOSC source stabilizes. If the  
IRCF bits were previously at a non-zero value, or  
INTSRC was set before the SLEEPinstruction was exe-  
cuted and the INTOSC source was already stable, the  
IOFS bit will remain set. If the IRCF bits and INTSRC  
are all clear, the INTOSC output will not be enabled, the  
IOFS bit will remain clear and there will be no indication  
of the current clock source.  
The WDT timer and postscaler are cleared by  
executing a SLEEPor CLRWDTinstruction, the loss of a  
currently selected clock source (if the Fail-Safe Clock  
Monitor is enabled) and modifying the IRCF bits in the  
OSCCON register if the internal oscillator block is the  
device clock source.  
3.5.3  
EXIT BY RESET  
When a wake event occurs, the peripherals continue to  
be clocked from the INTOSC multiplexer. After a delay  
of TCSD following the wake event, the CPU begins  
executing code being clocked by the INTOSC multi-  
plexer. The IDLEN and SCS bits are not affected by the  
wake-up. The INTRC source will continue to run if  
either the WDT or the Fail-Safe Clock Monitor is  
enabled.  
Normally, the device is held in Reset by the Oscillator  
Start-up Timer (OST) until the primary clock becomes  
ready. At that time, the OSTS bit is set and the device  
begins executing code. If the internal oscillator block is  
the new clock source, the IOFS bit is set instead.  
The exit delay time from Reset to the start of code  
execution depends on both the clock sources before  
and after the wake-up and the type of oscillator if the  
new clock source is the primary clock. Exit delays are  
summarized in Table 3-2.  
3.5  
Exiting Idle and Sleep Modes  
An exit from Sleep mode or any of the Idle modes is  
triggered by an interrupt, a Reset or a WDT time-out.  
This section discusses the triggers that cause exits  
from power-managed modes. The clocking subsystem  
actions are discussed in each of the power-managed  
modes (see Section 3.2 “Run Modes”, Section 3.3  
“Sleep Mode” and Section 3.4 “Idle Modes”).  
Code execution can begin before the primary clock  
becomes ready. If either the Two-Speed Start-up (see  
Section 22.3 “Two-Speed Start-up”) or Fail-Safe  
Clock Monitor (see Section 22.4 “Fail-Safe Clock  
Monitor”) is enabled, the device may begin execution  
as soon as the Reset source has cleared. Execution is  
clocked by the INTOSC multiplexer driven by the  
internal oscillator block. Execution is clocked by the  
internal oscillator block until either the primary clock  
becomes ready or a power-managed mode is entered  
before the primary clock becomes ready; the primary  
clock is then shut down.  
3.5.1  
EXIT BY INTERRUPT  
Any of the available interrupt sources can cause the  
device to exit from an Idle mode or the Sleep mode to  
a Run mode. To enable this functionality, an interrupt  
source must be enabled by setting its enable bit in one  
of the INTCON or PIE registers. The exit sequence is  
initiated when the corresponding interrupt flag bit is set.

PIC18F2X1X/4X1X  
In these instances, the primary clock source either  
does not require an oscillator start-up delay since it is  
already running (PRI_IDLE), or normally does not  
require an oscillator start-up delay (RC, EC and INTIO  
Oscillator modes). However, a fixed delay of interval  
TCSD following the wake event is still required when  
leaving Sleep and Idle modes to allow the CPU to  
prepare for execution. Instruction execution resumes  
on the first clock cycle following this delay.  
3.5.4  
EXIT WITHOUT AN OSCILLATOR  
START-UP DELAY  
Certain exits from power-managed modes do not  
invoke the OST at all. There are two cases:  
• PRI_IDLE mode, where the primary clock source  
is not stopped; and  
• the primary clock source is not any of the LP, XT,  
HS or HSPLL modes.

A simplified block diagram of the On-Chip Reset Circuit  
is shown in Figure 4-1.

RESET  
The PIC18F2X1X/4X1X devices differentiate between  
various kinds of Reset:  
4.1  
RCON Register  
a) Power-on Reset (POR)  
Device Reset events are tracked through the RCON  
register (Register 4-1). The lower five bits of the  
register indicate that a specific Reset event has  
occurred. In most cases, these bits can only be cleared  
by the event and must be set by the application after  
the event. The state of these flag bits, taken together,  
can be read to indicate the type of Reset that just  
occurred. This is described in more detail in  
Section 4.6 “Reset State of Registers”.  
b) MCLR Reset during normal operation  
c) MCLR Reset during power-managed modes  
d) Watchdog Timer (WDT) Reset (during  
execution)  
e) Programmable Brown-out Reset (BOR)  
f) RESETInstruction  
g) Stack Full Reset  
h) Stack Underflow Reset  
The RCON register also has control bits for setting  
interrupt priority (IPEN) and software control of the  
BOR (SBOREN). Interrupt priority is discussed in  
Section 8.0 “Interrupts”. BOR is covered in  
Section 4.4 “Brown-out Reset (BOR)”.  
This section discusses Resets generated by MCLR,  
POR and BOR and covers the operation of the various  
start-up timers. Stack Reset events are covered in  
Section 5.1.2.4 “Stack Full and Underflow Resets”.  
WDT Resets are covered in Section 22.2 “Watchdog  
Timer (WDT)”.

EXTERNAL POWER-ON  
RESET CIRCUIT (FOR  
SLOW VDD POWER-UP)  
4.2  
Master Clear (MCLR)  
The MCLR pin provides a method for triggering an  
external Reset of the device. A Reset is generated by  
holding the pin low. These devices have a noise filter in  
the MCLR Reset path which detects and ignores small  
pulses.  
VDD

The MCLR pin is not driven low by any internal Resets,  
including the WDT.

R1  
MCLR  
In PIC18F2X1X/4X1X devices, the MCLR input can be  
disabled with the MCLRE Configuration bit. When  
MCLR is disabled, the pin becomes a digital input. See  
Section 9.5 “PORTE, TRISE and LATE Registers”  
for more information.  
PIC18FXXXX  
C
Note 1: External Power-on Reset circuit is required  
only if the VDD power-up slope is too slow.  
The diode D helps discharge the capacitor  
quickly when VDD powers down.  
4.3  
Power-on Reset (POR)  
A
Power-on Reset pulse is generated on-chip  
2: R < 40 kΩ is recommended to make sure that  
the voltage drop across R does not violate  
the device’s electrical specification.  
whenever VDD rises above a certain threshold. This  
allows the device to start in the initialized state when  
VDD is adequate for operation.  
3: R1 1 kΩ will limit any current flowing into  
MCLR from external capacitor C, in the event  
of MCLR/VPP pin breakdown, due to  
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) or Electrical  
Overstress (EOS).  
To take advantage of the POR circuitry, tie the MCLR  
pin through a resistor (1 kΩ to 10 kΩ) to VDD. This will  
eliminate external RC components usually needed to  
create a Power-on Reset delay. A minimum rise rate for  
VDD is specified (parameter D004). For a slow rise  
time, see Figure 4-2.  
When the device starts normal operation (i.e., exits the  
Reset condition), device operating parameters (volt-  
age, frequency, temperature, etc.) must be met to  
ensure operation. If these conditions are not met, the  
device must be held in Reset until the operating  
conditions are met.  
POR events are captured by the POR bit (RCON<1>).  
The state of the bit is set to ‘0’ whenever a POR occurs;  
it does not change for any other Reset event. POR is  
not reset to ‘1’ by any hardware event. To capture  
multiple events, the user manually resets the bit to ‘1’  
in software following any POR.

PIC18F2X1X/4X1X  
Placing the BOR under software control gives the user  
the additional flexibility of tailoring the application to its  
environment without having to reprogram the device to  
change BOR configuration. It also allows the user to  
tailor device power consumption in software by elimi-  
nating the incremental current that the BOR consumes.  
While the BOR current is typically very small, it may  
have some impact in low-power applications.  
4.4  
Brown-out Reset (BOR)  
PIC18F2X1X/4X1X devices implement a BOR circuit  
that provides the user with a number of configuration  
and power-saving options. The BOR is controlled by  
the BORV1:BORV0 and BOREN1:BOREN0 Configu-  
ration bits. There are a total of four BOR configurations  
which are summarized in Table 4-1.  
The BOR threshold is set by the BORV1:BORV0 bits. If  
BOR is enabled (any values of BOREN1:BOREN0,  
except ‘00’), any drop of VDD below VBOR (parameter  
D005) for greater than TBOR (parameter 35) will reset  
the device. A Reset may or may not occur if VDD falls  
below VBOR for less than TBOR. The chip will remain in  
Brown-out Reset until VDD rises above VBOR.  
Note:  
Even when BOR is under software control,  
the BOR Reset voltage level is still set by  
the BORV1:BORV0 Configuration bits. It  
cannot be changed in software.  
4.4.2  
DETECTING BOR  
When BOR is enabled, the BOR bit always resets to ‘0’  
on any BOR or POR event. This makes it difficult to  
determine if a BOR event has occurred just by reading  
the state of BOR alone. A more reliable method is to  
simultaneously check the state of both POR and BOR.  
This assumes that the POR bit is reset to ‘1’ in software  
immediately after any POR event. If BOR is ‘0’ while  
POR is ‘1’, it can be reliably assumed that a BOR event  
has occurred.  
If the Power-up Timer is enabled, it will be invoked after  
VDD rises above VBOR; it then will keep the chip in  
Reset for an additional time delay, TPWRT  
(parameter 33). If VDD drops below VBOR while the  
Power-up Timer is running, the chip will go back into a  
Brown-out Reset and the Power-up Timer will be  
initialized. Once VDD rises above VBOR, the Power-up  
Timer will execute the additional time delay.  
BOR and the Power-on Timer (PWRT) are  
independently configured. Enabling BOR Reset does  
not automatically enable the PWRT.  
4.4.3  
DISABLING BOR IN SLEEP MODE  
When BOREN1:BOREN0 = 10, the BOR remains  
under hardware control and operates as previously  
described. Whenever the device enters Sleep mode,  
however, the BOR is automatically disabled. When the  
device returns to any other operating mode, BOR is  
automatically re-enabled.  
4.4.1  
SOFTWARE ENABLED BOR  
When BOREN1:BOREN0 = 01, the BOR can be  
enabled or disabled by the user in software. This is  
done with the control bit, SBOREN (RCON<6>).  
Setting SBOREN enables the BOR to function as  
previously described. Clearing SBOREN disables the  
BOR entirely. The SBOREN bit operates only in this  
mode; otherwise it is read as ‘0’.  
This mode allows for applications to recover from  
brown-out situations, while actively executing code,  
when the device requires BOR protection the most. At  
the same time, it saves additional power in Sleep mode  
by eliminating the small incremental BOR current.

4.5.3  
PLL LOCK TIME-OUT  
4.5  
Device Reset Timers  
With the PLL enabled in its PLL mode, the time-out  
sequence following a Power-on Reset is slightly differ-  
ent from other oscillator modes. A separate timer is  
used to provide a fixed time-out that is sufficient for the  
PLL to lock to the main oscillator frequency. This PLL  
lock time-out (TPLL) is typically 2 ms and follows the  
oscillator start-up time-out.  
PIC18F2X1X/4X1X devices incorporate three separate  
on-chip timers that help regulate the Power-on Reset  
process. Their main function is to ensure that the  
device clock is stable before code is executed. These  
timers are:  
• Power-up Timer (PWRT)  
• Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST)  
• PLL Lock Time-out  
4.5.4  
TIME-OUT SEQUENCE  
On power-up, the time-out sequence is as follows:  
4.5.1  
POWER-UP TIMER (PWRT)  
1. After the POR pulse has cleared, PWRT time-out  
is invoked (if enabled).  
The Power-up Timer (PWRT) of PIC18F2X1X/4X1X  
devices is an 11-bit counter which uses the INTRC  
source as the clock input. This yields an approximate  
time interval of 2048 x 32 μs = 65.6 ms. While the  
PWRT is counting, the device is held in Reset.  
2. Then, the OST is activated.  
The total time-out will vary based on oscillator configu-  
ration and the status of the PWRT. Figure 4-3,  
Figure 4-4, Figure 4-5, Figure 4-6 and Figure 4-7 all  
depict time-out sequences on power-up, with the  
Power-up Timer enabled and the device operating in  
HS Oscillator mode. Figures 4-3 through 4-6 also  
apply to devices operating in XT or LP modes. For  
devices in RC mode and with the PWRT disabled, there  
will be no time-out at all.  
The power-up time delay depends on the INTRC clock  
and will vary from chip to chip due to temperature and  
process variation. See DC parameter 33 for details.  
The PWRT is enabled by clearing the PWRTEN  
Configuration bit.  
4.5.2  
OSCILLATOR START-UP TIMER  
(OST)  
Since the time-outs occur from the POR pulse, if MCLR  
is kept low long enough, all time-outs will expire. Bring-  
ing MCLR high will begin execution immediately  
(Figure 4-5). This is useful for testing purposes or to  
synchronize more than one PIC18FXXXX device  
operating in parallel.  
The Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) provides a 1024  
oscillator cycle (from OSC1 input) delay after the  
PWRT delay is over (parameter 33). This ensures that  
the crystal oscillator or resonator has started and  
stabilized.  
The OST time-out is invoked only for XT, LP, HS and  
HSPLL modes and only on Power-on Reset, or on exit  
from most power-managed modes.

Table 4-4 describes the Reset states for all of the  
Special Function Registers. These are categorized by  
Power-on and Brown-out Resets, Master Clear and  
WDT Resets and WDT wake-ups.  
4.6  
Reset State of Registers  
Most registers are unaffected by a Reset. Their status  
is unknown on POR and unchanged by all other  
Resets. The other registers are forced to a “Reset  
state” depending on the type of Reset that occurred.  
Most registers are not affected by a WDT wake-up,  
since this is viewed as the resumption of normal oper-  
ation. Status bits from the RCON register, RI, TO, PD,  
POR and BOR, are set or cleared differently in different  
Reset situations, as indicated in Table 4-3. These bits  
are used in software to determine the nature of the  
Reset.

u= unchanged, x= unknown, -= unimplemented bit, read as ‘0’, q= value depends on condition.  
Shaded cells indicate conditions do not apply for the designated device.  
Note 1: One or more bits in the INTCONx or PIRx registers will be affected (to cause wake-up).  
2: When the wake-up is due to an interrupt and the GIEL or GIEH bit is set, the PC is loaded with the interrupt vector  
(0008h or 0018h).  
3: When the wake-up is due to an interrupt and the GIEL or GIEH bit is set, the TOSU, TOSH and TOSL are updated with  
the current value of the PC. The STKPTR is modified to point to the next location in the hardware stack.  
4: See Table 4-3 for Reset value for specific condition.  
5: Bits 6 and 7 of PORTA, LATA and TRISA are enabled, depending on the oscillator mode selected. When not enabled as  
PORTA pins, they are disabled and read ‘0’.

Program Memory Organization

MEMORY ORGANIZATION  
PIC18 microcontrollers implement a 21-bit program  
counter, which is capable of addressing a 2-Mbyte  
program memory space. Accessing a location between  
the upper boundary of the physically implemented  
memory and the 2-Mbyte address will return all ‘0’s (a  
NOPinstruction).  
There are two types of memory in PIC18F2X1X/4X1X  
microcontroller devices:  
• Program Memory  
• Data RAM  
As Harvard architecture devices, the data and program  
memories use separate busses; this allows for  
concurrent access of the two memory spaces.  
The PIC18F2410/4410 and PIC18F2510 each have  
16 Kbytes of Flash memory and can store up to 8,192  
single-word instructions. The PIC18F2510/4510 each  
have 32 Kbytes of Flash memory and can store up to  
16,384 single-word instructions. The PIC18F2515/4515  
each have 48 Kbytes of Flash memory and can store up  
to 24,576 single-word instructions. The PIC18F2610/  
4610 each have 64 Kbytes of Flash memory and can  
store up to 32,768 single-word instructions.  
Additional detailed information on the operation of the  
Flash program memory is provided in Section 6.0  
“Flash Program Memory”.  
PIC18 devices have two interrupt vectors. The Reset  
vector address is at 0000h and the interrupt vector  
addresses are at 0008h and 0018h.  
The program memory map for PIC18F2X1X/4X1X  
devices is shown in Figure 5-1.

PIC18F2X1X/4X1X  
The stack operates as a 31-word by 21-bit RAM and a  
5-bit Stack Pointer, STKPTR. The stack space is not  
part of either program or data space. The Stack Pointer  
is readable and writable and the address on the top of  
the stack is readable and writable through the top-of-  
stack Special File Registers. Data can also be pushed  
to, or popped from the stack, using these registers.  
5.1.1  
PROGRAM COUNTER  
The Program Counter (PC) specifies the address of the  
instruction to fetch for execution. The PC is 21 bits wide  
and is contained in three separate 8-bit registers. The  
low byte, known as the PCL register, is both readable  
and writable. The high byte, or PCH register, contains  
the PC<15:8> bits; it is not directly readable or writable.  
Updates to the PCH register are performed through the  
PCLATH register. The upper byte is called PCU. This  
register contains the PC<20:16> bits; it is also not  
directly readable or writable. Updates to the PCU  
register are performed through the PCLATU register.  
A CALLtype instruction causes a push onto the stack;  
the Stack Pointer is first incremented and the location  
pointed to by the Stack Pointer is written with the  
contents of the PC (already pointing to the instruction  
following the CALL). A RETURNtype instruction causes  
a pop from the stack; the contents of the location  
pointed to by the STKPTR are transferred to the PC  
and then the Stack Pointer is decremented.  
The contents of PCLATH and PCLATU are transferred  
to the program counter by any operation that writes  
PCL. Similarly, the upper two bytes of the program  
counter are transferred to PCLATH and PCLATU by an  
operation that reads PCL. This is useful for computed  
offsets to the PC (see Section 5.1.4.1 “Computed  
GOTO”).  
The Stack Pointer is initialized to ‘00000’ after all  
Resets. There is no RAM associated with the location  
corresponding to a Stack Pointer value of ‘00000’; this  
is only a Reset value. Status bits indicate if the stack is  
full or has overflowed or has underflowed.  
The PC addresses bytes in the program memory. To  
prevent the PC from becoming misaligned with word  
instructions, the Least Significant bit of PCL is fixed to  
a value of ‘0’. The PC increments by 2 to address  
sequential instructions in the program memory.  
5.1.2.1  
Only the top of the return address stack (TOS) is  
readable and writable. set of three registers,  
Top-of-Stack Access  
A
TOSU:TOSH:TOSL, hold the contents of the stack loca-  
tion pointed to by the STKPTR register (Figure 5-2). This  
allows users to implement a software stack if necessary.  
After a CALL, RCALLor interrupt, the software can read  
the pushed value by reading the TOSU:TOSH:TOSL  
registers. These values can be placed on a user defined  
software stack. At return time, the software can return  
these values to TOSU:TOSH:TOSL and do a return.  
The CALL, RCALL, GOTO and program branch  
instructions write to the program counter directly. For  
these instructions, the contents of PCLATH and  
PCLATU are not transferred to the program counter.  
5.1.2  
RETURN ADDRESS STACK  
The return address stack allows any combination of up  
to 31 program calls and interrupts to occur. The PC is  
pushed onto the stack when a CALLor RCALLinstruc-  
tion is executed or an interrupt is Acknowledged. The  
PC value is pulled off the stack on a RETURN, RETLWor  
a RETFIE instruction. PCLATU and PCLATH are not  
affected by any of the RETURNor CALLinstructions.  
The user must disable the global interrupt enable bits  
while accessing the stack to prevent inadvertent stack  
corruption.

PIC18F2X1X/4X1X  
When the stack has been popped enough times to  
unload the stack, the next pop will return a value of zero  
to the PC and sets the STKUNF bit, while the Stack  
Pointer remains at zero. The STKUNF bit will remain  
set until cleared by software or until a POR occurs.  
5.1.2.2  
Return Stack Pointer (STKPTR)  
The STKPTR register (Register 5-1) contains the Stack  
Pointer value, the STKFUL (Stack Full) status bit and  
the STKUNF (Stack Underflow) status bits. The value  
of the Stack Pointer can be 0 through 31. The Stack  
Pointer increments before values are pushed onto the  
stack and decrements after values are popped off the  
stack. On Reset, the Stack Pointer value will be zero.  
The user may read and write the Stack Pointer value.  
This feature can be used by a Real-Time Operating  
System (RTOS) for return stack maintenance.  
Note:  
Returning a value of zero to the PC on an  
underflow has the effect of vectoring the  
program to the Reset vector, where the  
stack conditions can be verified and  
appropriate actions can be taken. This is  
not the same as a Reset, as the contents  
of the SFRs are not affected.  
After the PC is pushed onto the stack 31 times (without  
popping any values off the stack), the STKFUL bit is  
set. The STKFUL bit is cleared by software or by a  
POR.  
5.1.2.3  
PUSH and POP Instructions  
Since the Top-of-Stack is readable and writable, the  
ability to push values onto the stack and pull values off  
the stack without disturbing normal program execution  
is a desirable feature. The PIC18 instruction set  
includes two instructions, PUSH and POP, that permit  
the TOS to be manipulated under software control.  
TOSU, TOSH and TOSL can be modified to place data  
or a return address on the stack.  
The action that takes place when the stack becomes  
full depends on the state of the STVREN (Stack Over-  
flow Reset Enable) Configuration bit. (Refer to  
Section 22.1 “Configuration Bits” for a description of  
the device Configuration bits.) If STVREN is set  
(default), the 31st push will push the (PC + 2) value  
onto the stack, set the STKFUL bit and reset the  
device. The STKFUL bit will remain set and the Stack  
Pointer will be set to zero.  
The PUSHinstruction places the current PC value onto  
the stack. This increments the Stack Pointer and loads  
the current PC value onto the stack.  
If STVREN is cleared, the STKFUL bit will be set on the  
31st push and the Stack Pointer will increment to 31.  
Any additional pushes will not overwrite the 31st push  
and STKPTR will remain at 31.  
The POPinstruction discards the current TOS by decre-  
menting the Stack Pointer. The previous value pushed  
onto the stack then becomes the TOS value.

Stack Full and Underflow Resets  
5.1.4  
LOOK-UP TABLES IN PROGRAM  
MEMORY  
Device Resets on stack overflow and stack underflow  
conditions are enabled by setting the STVREN bit in  
Configuration Register 4L. When STVREN is set, a full  
or underflow will set the appropriate STKFUL or  
STKUNF bit and then cause a device Reset. When  
STVREN is cleared, a full or underflow condition will set  
the appropriate STKFUL or STKUNF bit but not cause  
a device Reset. The STKFUL or STKUNF bits are  
cleared by the user software or a Power-on Reset.  
There may be programming situations that require the  
creation of data structures, or look-up tables, in  
program memory. For PIC18 devices, look-up tables  
can be implemented in two ways:  
• Computed GOTO  
Table Reads  
5.1.4.1  
Computed GOTO  
5.1.3  
FAST REGISTER STACK  
A computed GOTOis accomplished by adding an offset  
to the program counter. An example is shown in  
Example 5-2.  
A fast register stack is provided for the STATUS,  
WREG and BSR registers, to provide a “fast return”  
option for interrupts. The stack for each register is only  
one level deep and is neither readable nor writable. It is  
loaded with the current value of the corresponding reg-  
ister when the processor vectors for an interrupt. All  
interrupt sources will push values into the stack regis-  
ters. The values in the registers are then loaded back  
into their associated registers if the RETFIE, FAST  
instruction is used to return from the interrupt.  
A look-up table can be formed with an ADDWF PCL  
instruction and a group of RETLW nninstructions. The  
W register is loaded with an offset into the table before  
executing a call to that table. The first instruction of the  
called routine is the ADDWF PCLinstruction. The next  
instruction executed will be one of the RETLW nn  
instructions that returns the value ‘nn’ to the calling  
function.  
If both low and high priority interrupts are enabled, the  
stack registers cannot be used reliably to return from  
low priority interrupts. If a high priority interrupt occurs  
while servicing a low priority interrupt, the stack register  
values stored by the low priority interrupt will be  
overwritten. In these cases, users must save the key  
registers in software during a low priority interrupt.  
The offset value (in WREG) specifies the number of  
bytes that the program counter should advance and  
should be multiples of 2 (LSb = 0).  
In this method, only one data byte may be stored in  
each instruction location and room on the return  
address stack is required.  
If interrupt priority is not used, all interrupts may use the  
fast register stack for returns from interrupt. If no inter-  
rupts are used, the fast register stack can be used to  
restore the STATUS, WREG and BSR registers at the  
end of a subroutine call. To use the fast register stack  
for a subroutine call, a CALLlabel, FASTinstruction  
must be executed to save the STATUS, WREG and

Table Reads and Table Writes  
A better method of storing data in program memory  
allows two bytes of data to be stored in each instruction  
location.

Table Pointer (TBLPTR) register specifies the byte  
address and the Table Latch (TABLAT) register  
contains the data that is read from or written to program  
memory. Data is transferred to or from program  
memory one byte at a time.

INSTRUCTION FLOW/PIPELINING  
5.2  
PIC18 Instruction Cycle  
An “Instruction Cycle” consists of four Q cycles: Q1  
through Q4. The instruction fetch and execute are  
pipelined in such a manner that a fetch takes one  
instruction cycle, while the decode and execute take  
another instruction cycle. However, due to the pipe-  
lining, each instruction effectively executes in one  
cycle. If an instruction causes the program counter to  
change (e.g., GOTO), then two cycles are required to  
complete the instruction (Example 5-3).  
5.2.1  
CLOCKING SCHEME  
The microcontroller clock input, whether from an  
internal or external source, is internally divided by four  
to generate four non-overlapping quadrature clocks  
(Q1, Q2, Q3 and Q4). Internally, the program counter is  
incremented on every Q1; the instruction is fetched  
from the program memory and latched into the instruc-  
tion register during Q4. The instruction is decoded and  
executed during the following Q1 through Q4. The  
clocks and instruction execution flow are shown in  
Figure 5-3.  
A fetch cycle begins with the Program Counter (PC)  
incrementing in Q1.  
In the execution cycle, the fetched instruction is latched  
into the Instruction Register (IR) in cycle Q1. This  
instruction is then decoded and executed during the  
Q2, Q3 and Q4 cycles. Data memory is read during Q2  
(operand read) and written during Q4 (destination  
write).

PIC18F2X1X/4X1X  
The CALL and GOTO instructions have the absolute  
program memory address embedded into the instruc-  
tion. Since instructions are always stored on word  
boundaries, the data contained in the instruction is a  
word address. The word address is written to PC<20:1>,  
which accesses the desired byte address in program  
memory. Instruction #2 in Figure 5-4 shows how the  
instruction GOTO 0006h is encoded in the program  
memory. Program branch instructions, which encode a  
relative address offset, operate in the same manner. The  
offset value stored in a branch instruction represents the  
number of single-word instructions that the PC will be  
offset by. Section 23.0 “Instruction Set Summary”  
provides further details of the instruction set.  
5.2.3  
INSTRUCTIONS IN PROGRAM  
MEMORY  
The program memory is addressed in bytes. Instruc-  
tions are stored as two bytes or four bytes in program  
memory. The Least Significant Byte of an instruction  
word is always stored in a program memory location  
with an even address (LSb = 0). To maintain alignment  
with instruction boundaries, the PC increments in steps  
of 2 and the LSb will always read ‘0’ (see Section 5.1.1  
“Program Counter”).  
Figure 5-4 shows an example of how instruction words  
are stored in the program memory.

when the two-word instruction is preceded by a condi-  
tional instruction that changes the PC. Example 5-4  
shows how this works.  
5.2.4  
TWO-WORD INSTRUCTIONS  
The standard PIC18 instruction set has four two-word  
instructions: CALL, MOVFF, GOTO and LSFR. In all  
cases, the second word of the instructions always has  
1111’ as its four Most Significant bits; the other 12 bits  
are literal data, usually a data memory address.  
Note:  
See Section 5.6 “PIC18 Instruction  
Execution and the Extended Instruc-  
tion Set” for information on two-word  
instructions in the extended instruction  
set.  
The use of ‘1111’ in the 4 MSbs of an instruction spec-  
ifies a special form of NOP. If the instruction is executed  
in proper sequence – immediately after the first word –  
the data in the second word is accessed and used by  
the instruction sequence. If the first word is skipped for

5.3.1  
BANK SELECT REGISTER (BSR)  
5.3  
Data Memory Organization  
Large areas of data memory require an efficient  
addressing scheme to make rapid access to any  
address possible. Ideally, this means that an entire  
address does not need to be provided for each read or  
write operation. For PIC18 devices, this is accom-  
plished with a RAM banking scheme. This divides the  
memory space into 16 contiguous banks of 256 bytes.  
Depending on the instruction, each location can be  
addressed directly by its full 12-bit address, or an 8-bit  
low-order address and a 4-bit Bank Pointer.  
Note:  
The operation of some aspects of data  
memory are changed when the PIC18  
extended instruction set is enabled. See  
Section 5.5 “Data Memory and the  
Extended Instruction Set” for more  
information.  
The data memory in PIC18 devices is implemented as  
static RAM. Figures 5-5, 5-6 and 5-7 show the data  
memory organization for the PIC18F2X1X/4X1X  
devices.  
Most instructions in the PIC18 instruction set make use  
of the Bank Pointer, known as the Bank Select Register  
(BSR). This SFR holds the 4 Most Significant bits of a  
location’s address; the instruction itself includes the  
8 Least Significant bits. Only the four lower bits of the  
BSR are implemented (BSR3:BSR0). The upper four  
bits are unused; they will always read ‘0’ and cannot be  
written to. The BSR can be loaded directly by using the  
MOVLBinstruction.  
The data memory contains Special Function Registers  
(SFRs) and General Purpose Registers (GPRs). The  
SFRs are used for control and status of the controller  
and peripheral functions, while GPRs are used for data  
storage and scratchpad operations in the user’s  
application. Any read of an unimplemented location will  
read as ‘0’s.  
The instruction set and architecture allow operations  
across all banks. The entire data memory may be  
accessed by Direct, Indirect or Indexed Addressing  
modes. Addressing modes are discussed later in this  
subsection.  
The value of the BSR indicates the bank in data  
memory; the 8 bits in the instruction show the location  
in the bank and can be thought of as an offset from the  
bank’s lower boundary. The relationship between the  
BSR’s value and the bank division in data memory is  
shown in Figure 5-8.  
To ensure that commonly used registers (SFRs and  
select GPRs) can be accessed in a single cycle, PIC18  
devices implement an Access Bank. This is a 256-byte  
memory space that provides fast access to SFRs and  
the lower portion of GPR Bank 0 without using the  
Since up to 16 registers may share the same low-order  
address, the user must always be careful to ensure that  
the proper bank is selected before performing a data  
read or write. For example, writing what should be  
program data to an 8-bit address of F9h, while the BSR  
is 0Fh, will end up resetting the program counter.  
BSR. Section 5.3.2 “Access Bank” provides  
detailed description of the Access RAM.  
a
While any bank can be selected, only those banks that  
are actually implemented can be read or written to.  
Writes to unimplemented banks are ignored, while  
reads from unimplemented banks will return ‘0’s. Even  
so, the STATUS register will still be affected as if the  
operation was successful. The data memory map in  
Figure 5-5 indicates which banks are implemented.  
In the core PIC18 instruction set, only the MOVFF  
instruction fully specifies the 12-bit address of the  
source and target registers. This instruction ignores the  
BSR completely when it executes. All other instructions  
include only the low-order address as an operand and  
must use either the BSR or the Access Bank to locate  
their target registers.

Note 1: The Access RAM bit of the instruction can be used to force an override of the selected bank (BSR<3:0>) to  
the registers of the Access Bank.  
2: The MOVFF instruction embeds the entire 12-bit address in the instruction.  
Using this “forced” addressing allows the instruction to  
operate on a data address in a single cycle, without  
updating the BSR first. For 8-bit addresses of 80h and  
above, this means that users can evaluate and operate  
on SFRs more efficiently. The Access RAM below 80h  
is a good place for data values that the user might need  
to access rapidly, such as immediate computational  
results or common program variables. Access RAM  
also allows for faster and more code efficient context  
saving and switching of variables.  
5.3.2  
ACCESS BANK  
While the use of the BSR with an embedded 8-bit  
address allows users to address the entire range of  
data memory, it also means that the user must always  
ensure that the correct bank is selected. Otherwise,  
data may be read from or written to the wrong location.  
This can be disastrous if a GPR is the intended target  
of an operation, but an SFR is written to instead.  
Verifying and/or changing the BSR for each read or  
write to data memory can become very inefficient.  
The mapping of the Access Bank is slightly different  
when the extended instruction set is enabled (XINST  
Configuration bit = 1). This is discussed in more detail  
in Section 5.5.3 “Mapping the Access Bank in  
Indexed Literal Offset Addressing Mode”.  
To streamline access for the most commonly used data  
memory locations, the data memory is configured with  
an Access Bank, which allows users to access a  
mapped block of memory without specifying a BSR.  
The Access Bank consists of the first 128 bytes of  
memory (00h-7Fh) in Bank 0 and the last 128 bytes of  
memory (80h-FFh) in Block 15. The lower half is known  
as the “Access RAM” and is composed of GPRs. This  
upper half is also where the device’s SFRs are  
mapped. These two areas are mapped contiguously in  
the Access Bank and can be addressed in a linear  
fashion by an 8-bit address (Figure 5-5).  
5.3.3  
GENERAL PURPOSE REGISTER  
FILE  
PIC18 devices may have banked memory in the GPR  
area. This is data RAM, which is available for use by all  
instructions. GPRs start at the bottom of Bank 0  
(address 000h) and grow upwards towards the bottom of  
the SFR area. GPRs are not initialized by a Power-on  
Reset and are unchanged on all other Resets.  
The Access Bank is used by core PIC18 instructions  
that include the Access RAM bit (the ‘a’ parameter in  
the instruction). When ‘a’ is equal to ‘1’, the instruction  
uses the BSR and the 8-bit address included in the  
opcode for the data memory address. When ‘a’ is ‘0’,  
however, the instruction is forced to use the Access  
Bank address map; the current value of the BSR is  
ignored entirely.

PIC18F2X1X/4X1X  
The SFRs can be classified into two sets: those asso-  
ciated with the “core” device functionality (ALU, Resets  
and interrupts) and those related to the peripheral func-  
tions. The reset and interrupt registers are described in  
their respective chapters, while the ALU’s STATUS reg-  
ister is described later in this section. Registers related  
to the operation of a peripheral feature are described in  
the chapter for that peripheral.  
5.3.4  
SPECIAL FUNCTION REGISTERS  
The Special Function Registers (SFRs) are registers  
used by the CPU and peripheral modules for controlling  
the desired operation of the device. These registers are  
implemented as static RAM. SFRs start at the top of  
data memory (FFFh) and extend downward to occupy  
the top half of Bank 15 (F80h to FFFh). A list of these  
registers is given in Table 5-1 and Table 5-2.  
The SFRs are typically distributed among the  
peripherals whose functions they control. Unused SFR  
locations are unimplemented and read as ‘0’s.

It is recommended that only BCF, BSF, SWAPF, MOVFF  
and MOVWFinstructions are used to alter the STATUS  
register, because these instructions do not affect the Z,  
C, DC, OV or N bits in the STATUS register.  
5.3.5  
STATUS REGISTER  
The STATUS register, shown in Register 5-2, contains  
the arithmetic status of the ALU. As with any other SFR,  
it can be the operand for any instruction.  
For other instructions that do not affect Status bits, see  
the instruction set summaries in Table 23-2 and  
Table 23-3.  
If the STATUS register is the destination for an instruc-  
tion that affects the Z, DC, C, OV or N bits, the results  
of the instruction are not written; instead, the status is  
updated according to the instruction performed. There-  
fore, the result of an instruction with the STATUS  
register as its destination may be different than  
intended. As an example, CLRF STATUSwill set the Z  
bit and leave the remaining Status bits unchanged  
(‘000u u1uu’).  
Note:  
The C and DC bits operate as the borrow  
and digit borrow bits, respectively, in  
subtraction.

PIC18F2X1X/4X1X  
The Access RAM bit ‘a’ determines how the address is  
interpreted. When ‘a’ is ‘1’, the contents of the BSR  
(Section 5.3.1 “Bank Select Register (BSR)”) are  
used with the address to determine the complete 12-bit  
address of the register. When ‘a’ is ‘0’, the address is  
interpreted as being a register in the Access Bank.  
Addressing that uses the Access RAM is sometimes  
also known as Direct Forced Addressing mode.  
5.4  
Data Addressing Modes  
Note:  
The execution of some instructions in the  
core PIC18 instruction set are changed  
when the PIC18 extended instruction set is  
enabled. See Section 5.5 “Data Memory  
and the Extended Instruction Set” for  
more information.  
A few instructions, such as MOVFF, include the entire  
12-bit address (either source or destination) in their  
opcodes. In these cases, the BSR is ignored entirely.  
The data memory space can be addressed in several  
ways. For most instructions, the addressing mode is  
fixed. Other instructions may use up to three modes,  
depending on which operands are used and whether or  
not the extended instruction set is enabled.  
The destination of the operation’s results is determined  
by the destination bit ‘d’. When ‘d’ is ‘1’, the results are  
stored back in the source register, overwriting its origi-  
nal contents. When ‘d’ is ‘0’, the results are stored in  
the W register. Instructions without the ‘d’ argument  
have a destination that is implicit in the instruction; their  
destination is either the target register being operated  
on or the W register.  
The addressing modes are:  
• Inherent  
• Literal  
• Direct  
• Indirect  
An additional addressing mode, Indexed Literal Offset,  
is available when the extended instruction set is  
enabled (XINST Configuration bit = 1). Its operation is  
discussed in greater detail in Section 5.5.1 “Indexed  
Addressing with Literal Offset”.  
5.4.3  
INDIRECT ADDRESSING  
Indirect addressing allows the user to access a location  
in data memory without giving a fixed address in the  
instruction. This is done by using File Select Registers  
(FSRs) as pointers to the locations to be read or written  
to. Since the FSRs are themselves located in RAM as  
Special File Registers, they can also be directly manip-  
ulated under program control. This makes FSRs very  
useful in implementing data structures, such as tables  
and arrays in data memory.  
5.4.1  
INHERENT AND LITERAL  
ADDRESSING  
Many PIC18 control instructions do not need any  
argument at all; they either perform an operation that  
globally affects the device or they operate implicitly on  
one register. This addressing mode is known as  
Inherent Addressing. Examples include SLEEP, RESET  
and DAW.  
The registers for indirect addressing are also  
implemented with Indirect File Operands (INDFs) that  
permit automatic manipulation of the pointer value with  
auto-incrementing, auto-decrementing or offsetting  
with another value. This allows for efficient code, using  
loops, such as the example of clearing an entire RAM  
bank in Example 5-5.  
Other instructions work in a similar way but require an  
additional explicit argument in the opcode. This is  
known as Literal Addressing mode because they  
require some literal value as an argument. Examples  
include ADDLWand MOVLWwhich, respectively, add or  
move a literal value to the W register. Other examples  
include CALL and GOTO, which include a 20-bit  
program memory address.

and/or destination address of the operation within the  
opcode itself. The options are specified by the  
arguments accompanying the instruction.

In the core PIC18 instruction set, bit-oriented and byte-  
oriented instructions use some version of direct  
addressing by default. All of these instructions include  
some 8-bit literal address as their Least Significant  
Byte. This address specifies either a register address in  
one of the banks of data RAM (Section 5.3.3 “General  
Purpose Register File”) or a location in the Access  
Bank (Section 5.3.2 “Access Bank”) as the data  
source for the instruction.

5.4.3.1  
FSR Registers and the INDF  
Operand  
5.4.3.2  
FSR Registers and POSTINC,  
POSTDEC, PREINC and PLUSW  
At the core of indirect addressing are three sets of  
registers: FSR0, FSR1 and FSR2. Each represents a  
pair of 8-bit registers, FSRnH and FSRnL. The four  
upper bits of the FSRnH register are not used so each  
FSR pair holds a 12-bit value. This represents a value  
that can address the entire range of the data memory  
in a linear fashion. The FSR register pairs, then, serve  
as pointers to data memory locations.  
In addition to the INDF operand, each FSR register pair  
also has four additional indirect operands. Like INDF,  
these are “virtual” registers that cannot be indirectly  
read or written to. Accessing these registers actually  
accesses the associated FSR register pair, but also  
performs a specific action on its stored value. They are:  
• POSTDEC: accesses the FSR value, then  
automatically decrements it by 1 afterwards  
Indirect addressing is accomplished with a set of  
Indirect File Operands, INDF0 through INDF2. These  
can be thought of as “virtual” registers: they are  
mapped in the SFR space but are not physically imple-  
mented. Reading or writing to a particular INDF register  
actually accesses its corresponding FSR register pair.  
A read from INDF1, for example, reads the data at the  
address indicated by FSR1H:FSR1L. Instructions that  
use the INDF registers as operands actually use the  
contents of their corresponding FSR as a pointer to the  
instruction’s target. The INDF operand is just a  
convenient way of using the pointer.  
• POSTINC: accesses the FSR value, then  
automatically increments it by 1 afterwards  
• PREINC: increments the FSR value by 1, then  
uses it in the operation  
• PLUSW: adds the signed value of the W register  
(range of -127 to 128) to that of the FSR and uses  
the new value in the operation.  
In this context, accessing an INDF register uses the  
value in the FSR registers without changing them. Sim-  
ilarly, accessing a PLUSW register gives the FSR value  
offset by that in the W register; neither value is actually  
changed in the operation. Accessing the other virtual  
registers changes the value of the FSR registers.  
Because indirect addressing uses a full 12-bit address,  
data RAM banking is not necessary. Thus, the current  
contents of the BSR and the Access RAM bit have no  
effect on determining the target address.  
Operations on the FSRs with POSTDEC, POSTINC  
and PREINC affect the entire register pair; that is, roll-  
overs of the FSRnL register from FFh to 00h carry over  
to the FSRnH register. On the other hand, results of  
these operations do not change the value of any flags  
in the STATUS register (e.g., Z, N, OV, etc.).

The PLUSW register can be used to implement a form  
of indexed addressing in the data memory space. By  
manipulating the value in the W register, users can  
reach addresses that are fixed offsets from pointer  
addresses. In some applications, this can be used to  
implement some powerful program control structure,  
such as software stacks, inside of data memory.  
5.5.1  
INDEXED ADDRESSING WITH  
LITERAL OFFSET  
Enabling the PIC18 extended instruction set changes  
the behavior of indirect addressing using the FSR2  
register pair within access RAM. Under the proper  
conditions, instructions that use the Access Bank – that  
is, most bit-oriented and byte-oriented instructions –  
can invoke a form of indexed addressing using an  
offset specified in the instruction. This special address-  
ing mode is known as Indexed Addressing with Literal  
Offset, or Indexed Literal Offset mode.  
5.4.3.3  
Operations by FSRs on FSRs  
Indirect addressing operations that target other FSRs  
or virtual registers represent special cases. For exam-  
ple, using an FSR to point to one of the virtual registers  
will not result in successful operations. As a specific  
case, assume that FSR0H:FSR0L contains FE7h, the  
address of INDF1. Attempts to read the value of the  
INDF1 using INDF0 as an operand will return 00h.  
Attempts to write to INDF1 using INDF0 as the operand  
will result in a NOP.  
When using the extended instruction set, this  
addressing mode requires the following:  
• The use of the Access Bank is forced (‘a’ = 0);  
and  
• The file address argument is less than or equal to  
5Fh.  
On the other hand, using the virtual registers to write to  
an FSR pair may not occur as planned. In these cases,  
the value will be written to the FSR pair but without any  
incrementing or decrementing. Thus, writing to INDF2  
or POSTDEC2 will write the same value to the  
FSR2H:FSR2L.  
Under these conditions, the file address of the instruc-  
tion is not interpreted as the lower byte of an address  
(used with the BSR in direct addressing), or as an 8-bit  
address in the Access Bank. Instead, the value is  
interpreted as an offset value to an Address Pointer,  
specified by FSR2. The offset and the contents of  
FSR2 are added to obtain the target address of the  
operation.  
Since the FSRs are physical registers mapped in the  
SFR space, they can be manipulated through all direct  
operations. Users should proceed cautiously when  
working on these registers, particularly if their code  
uses indirect addressing.  
5.5.2  
INSTRUCTIONS AFFECTED BY  
INDEXED LITERAL OFFSET MODE  
Any of the core PIC18 instructions that can use direct  
addressing are potentially affected by the Indexed Literal  
Offset Addressing mode. This includes all byte-oriented  
and bit-oriented instructions, or almost one-half of the  
standard PIC18 instruction set. Instructions that only use  
Inherent or Literal Addressing modes are unaffected.  
Similarly, operations by indirect addressing are gener-  
ally permitted on all other SFRs. Users should exercise  
the appropriate caution that they do not inadvertently  
change settings that might affect the operation of the  
device.  
Additionally, byte-oriented and bit-oriented instructions  
are not affected if they do not use the Access Bank  
(Access RAM bit is ‘1’), or include a file address of 60h  
or above. Instructions meeting these criteria will  
continue to execute as before. A comparison of the  
different possible addressing modes when the  
extended instruction set is enabled is shown in  
Figure 5-10.  
5.5  
Data Memory and the Extended  
Instruction Set  
Enabling the PIC18 extended instruction set (XINST  
Configuration bit = 1) significantly changes certain  
aspects of data memory and its addressing. Specifi-  
cally, the use of the Access Bank for many of the core  
PIC18 instructions is different; this is due to the  
introduction of a new addressing mode for the data  
memory space.  
Those who desire to use bit-oriented or byte-oriented  
instructions in the Indexed Literal Offset mode should  
note the changes to assembler syntax for this mode.  
This is described in more detail in Section 23.2.1  
“Extended Instruction Syntax”.  
What does not change is just as important. The size of  
the data memory space is unchanged, as well as its  
linear addressing. The SFR map remains the same.  
Core PIC18 instructions can still operate in both Direct  
and Indirect Addressing mode; inherent and literal  
instructions do not change at all. Indirect addressing  
with FSR0 and FSR1 also remain unchanged.

Remapping of the Access Bank applies only to opera-  
tions using the Indexed Literal Offset Addressing  
mode. Operations that use the BSR (Access RAM bit is  
1’) will continue to use direct addressing as before.  
5.5.3  
MAPPING THE ACCESS BANK IN  
INDEXED LITERAL OFFSET  
ADDRESSING MODE  
The use of Indexed Literal Offset Addressing mode  
effectively changes how the first 96 locations of access  
RAM (00h to 5Fh) are mapped. Rather than containing  
just the contents of the bottom half of Bank 0, this mode  
maps the contents from Bank 0 and a user defined  
“window” that can be located anywhere in the data  
memory space. The value of FSR2 establishes the  
lower boundary of the addresses mapped into the  
window, while the upper boundary is defined by FSR2  
plus 95 (5Fh). Addresses in the Access RAM above  
5Fh are mapped as previously described (see  
Section 5.3.2 “Access Bank”). An example of Access  
Bank remapping in this addressing mode is shown in  
Figure 5-11.

PIC18 Instruction Execution and

Enabling the extended instruction set adds eight  
additional commands to the existing PIC18 instruction

Table reads work with byte entities. A table block  
containing data, rather than program instructions, is not  
required to be word-aligned. Therefore, a table block can  
start and end at any byte address.  
6.0  
FLASH PROGRAM MEMORY  
In PIC18F2X1X/4X1X devices, the program memory is  
implemented as read-only Flash memory. It is readable  
over the entire VDD range during normal operation. A  
read from program memory is executed on one byte at  
a time.  
Because the program memory cannot be written to or  
erased under normal operation, the TBLWToperation is  
not discussed here.  
Note 1: Although it cannot be used in  
PIC18F2X1X/4X1X devices in normal  
operation, the TBLWT instruction is still  
implemented in the instruction set.  
Executing the instruction takes two  
instruction cycles, but effectively results  
in a NOP.  
6.1  
Table Reads  
For PIC18 devices, there are two operations that allow  
the processor to move bytes between the program  
memory space and the data RAM: table read (TBLRD)  
and table write (TBLWT).  
Table read operations retrieve data from program  
memory and place it into the data RAM space.  
Figure 6-1 shows the operation of a table read with  
program memory and data RAM.  
2: The TBLWTinstruction is available only in  
programming modes and is used during  
In-Circuit Serial Programming™ (ICSP™).  
The program memory space is 16 bits wide, while the  
data RAM space is 8 bits wide. Table reads and table  
writes move data between these two memory spaces  
through an 8-bit register, TABLAT.

6.2.2  
TBLPTR – TABLE POINTER  
REGISTER  
The TBLRD instruction is used to retrieve data from  
program memory and place it into data RAM. Table  
reads from program memory are performed one byte at  
a time.  
The Table Pointer register (TBLPTR) addresses a byte  
within the program memory. It is comprised of three  
SFR registers: Table Pointer Upper Byte, Table Pointer  
High Byte and Table Pointer Low Byte  
(TBLPTRU:TBLPTRH:TBLPTRL). Only the lower six  
bits of TBLPTRU are used with TBLPTRH and  
TBLPTRL, to form a 22-bit wide pointer.  
TBLPTR points to a byte address in program space.  
Executing TBLRD places the byte pointed to into  
TABLAT. In addition, TBLPTR can be modified  
automatically for the next table read operation.  
The contents of TBLPTR indicate a location in program  
memory space. The low-order 21 bits allow the device  
to address the full 2 Mbytes of program memory space.  
The 22nd bit allows access to the configuration space,  
including the Device ID, user ID locations and the  
Configuration bits.  
The internal program memory is typically organized by  
words. The Least Significant bit of the address selects  
between the high and low bytes of the word. Figure 6-2  
shows the interface between the internal program  
memory and the TABLAT.  
The TBLPTR register set is updated when executing a  
TBLRDin one of four ways, based on the instruction’s  
arguments. These are detailed in Table 6-1. These  
operations on the TBLPTR only affect the low-order  
21 bits.  
A typical method for reading data from program memory  
is shown in Example 6-1.  
When a TBLRDis executed, all 22 bits of the TBLPTR  
determine which byte is read from program memory  
into TABLAT.

All PIC18 devices include an 8 x 8 hardware multiplier  
as part of the ALU. The multiplier performs an unsigned  
operation and yields a 16-bit result that is stored in the  
product register pair, PRODH:PRODL. The multiplier’s  
operation does not affect any flags in the STATUS  
register.  
EXAMPLE 7-2:  
8 x 8 SIGNED MULTIPLY  
ROUTINE  
Making multiplication a hardware operation allows it to  
be completed in a single instruction cycle. This has the  
advantages of higher computational throughput and  
reduced code size for multiplication algorithms and  
allows the PIC18 devices to be used in many applica-  
tions previously reserved for digital signal processors.  
A comparison of various hardware and software  
multiply operations, along with the savings in memory  
and execution time, is shown in Table 7-1.

PIC18F2X1X/4X1X  
When the IPEN bit is cleared (default state), the  
interrupt priority feature is disabled and interrupts are  
compatible with PIC® mid-range devices. In  
Compatibility mode, the interrupt priority bits for each  
source have no effect. INTCON<6> is the PEIE bit,  
which enables/disables all peripheral interrupt sources.  
INTCON<7> is the GIE bit, which enables/disables all  
interrupt sources. All interrupts branch to address  
0008h in Compatibility mode.  
8.0  
INTERRUPTS  
The PIC18F2X1X/4X1X devices have multiple interrupt  
sources and an interrupt priority feature that allows  
most interrupt sources to be assigned a high priority  
level or a low priority level. The high priority interrupt  
vector is at 0008h and the low priority interrupt vector is  
at 0018h. High priority interrupt events will interrupt any  
low priority interrupts that may be in progress.  
There are ten registers which are used to control  
interrupt operation. These registers are:  
When an interrupt is responded to, the global interrupt  
enable bit is cleared to disable further interrupts. If the  
IPEN bit is cleared, this is the GIE bit. If interrupt priority  
levels are used, this will be either the GIEH or GIEL bit.  
High priority interrupt sources can interrupt a low  
priority interrupt. Low priority interrupts are not  
processed while high priority interrupts are in progress.  
• RCON  
• INTCON  
• INTCON2  
• INTCON3  
• PIR1, PIR2  
• PIE1, PIE2  
• IPR1, IPR2  
The return address is pushed onto the stack and the  
PC is loaded with the interrupt vector address (0008h  
or 0018h). Once in the Interrupt Service Routine, the  
source(s) of the interrupt can be determined by polling  
the interrupt flag bits. The interrupt flag bits must be  
cleared in software before re-enabling interrupts to  
avoid recursive interrupts.  
It is recommended that the Microchip header files  
supplied with MPLAB® IDE be used for the symbolic bit  
names in these registers. This allows the assembler/  
compiler to automatically take care of the placement of  
these bits within the specified register.  
The “return from interrupt” instruction, RETFIE, exits  
the interrupt routine and sets the GIE bit (GIEH or GIEL  
if priority levels are used), which re-enables interrupts.  
In general, interrupt sources have three bits to control  
their operation. They are:  
For external interrupt events, such as the INT pins or  
the PORTB input change interrupt, the interrupt latency  
will be three to four instruction cycles. The exact  
latency is the same for one or two-cycle instructions.  
Individual interrupt flag bits are set, regardless of the  
status of their corresponding enable bit or the GIE bit.  
Flag bit to indicate that an interrupt event  
occurred  
Enable bit that allows program execution to  
branch to the interrupt vector address when the  
flag bit is set  
Priority bit to select high priority or low priority  
Note:  
Do not use the MOVFFinstruction to modify  
any of the interrupt control registers while  
any interrupt is enabled. Doing so may  
cause erratic microcontroller behavior.  
The interrupt priority feature is enabled by setting the  
IPEN bit (RCON<7>). When interrupt priority is  
enabled, there are two bits which enable interrupts  
globally. Setting the GIEH bit (INTCON<7>) enables all  
interrupts that have the priority bit set (high priority).  
Setting the GIEL bit (INTCON<6>) enables all  
interrupts that have the priority bit cleared (low priority).  
When the interrupt flag, enable bit and appropriate  
global interrupt enable bit are set, the interrupt will vec-  
tor immediately to address 0008h or 0018h, depending  
on the priority bit setting. Individual interrupts can be  
disabled through their corresponding enable bits.

Note:  
Interrupt flag bits are set when an interrupt  
condition occurs regardless of the state of  
its corresponding enable bit or the global  
interrupt enable bit. User software should  
ensure the appropriate interrupt flag bits  
are clear prior to enabling an interrupt.  
This feature allows for software polling.  
The INTCON registers are readable and writable  
registers, which contain various enable, priority and

INTn Pin Interrupts  
8.7  
TMR0 Interrupt  
External interrupts on the RB0/INT0, RB1/INT1 and  
RB2/INT2 pins are edge-triggered. If the corresponding  
INTEDGx bit in the INTCON2 register is set (= 1), the  
interrupt is triggered by a rising edge; if the bit is clear,  
the trigger is on the falling edge. When a valid edge  
appears on the RBx/INTx pin, the corresponding flag  
bit INTxF is set. This interrupt can be disabled by clear-  
ing the corresponding enable bit INTxE. Flag bit INTxF  
must be cleared in software in the Interrupt Service  
Routine before re-enabling the interrupt.  
In 8-bit mode (which is the default), an overflow in the  
TMR0 register (FFh 00h) will set flag bit TMR0IF. In  
16-bit mode, an overflow in the TMR0H:TMR0L regis-  
ter pair (FFFFh 0000h) will set TMR0IF. The interrupt  
can be enabled/disabled by setting/clearing enable bit,  
TMR0IE (INTCON<5>). Interrupt priority for Timer0 is  
determined by the value contained in the interrupt  
priority bit, TMR0IP (INTCON2<2>). See Section 10.0  
“Timer0 Module” for further details on the Timer0  
module.  
All external interrupts (INT0, INT1 and INT2) can wake-  
up the processor from Idle or Sleep modes if bit INTxE  
was set prior to going into those modes. If the Global  
Interrupt Enable bit, GIE, is set, the processor will  
branch to the interrupt vector following wake-up.  
8.8  
PORTB Interrupt-on-Change  
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<3>).  
Interrupt priority for PORTB interrupt-on-change is  
determined by the value contained in the interrupt  
priority bit, RBIP (INTCON2<0>).  
Interrupt priority for INT1 and INT2 is determined by the  
value contained in the interrupt priority bits, INT1IP  
(INTCON3<6>) and INT2IP (INTCON3<7>). There is  
no priority bit associated with INT0. It is always a high  
priority interrupt source.  
8.9  
Context Saving During Interrupts  
During interrupts, the return PC address is saved on  
the stack. Additionally, the WREG, STATUS and BSR  
registers are saved on the fast return stack. If a fast  
return from interrupt is not used (see Section 5.3  
“Data Memory Organization”), the user may need to  
save the WREG, STATUS and BSR registers on entry  
to the Interrupt Service Routine. Depending on the  
user’s application, other registers may also need to be  
saved. Example 8-1 saves and restores the WREG,  
STATUS and BSR registers during an Interrupt Service  
Routine.

Reading the PORTA register reads the status of the  
pins, whereas writing to it will write to the port latch.  
9.0  
I/O PORTS  
Depending on the device selected and features  
enabled, there are up to five ports available. Some pins  
of the I/O ports are multiplexed with an alternate  
function from the peripheral features on the device. In  
general, when a peripheral is enabled, that pin may not  
be used as a general purpose I/O pin.  
The Data Latch (LATA) register is also memory mapped.  
Read-modify-write operations on the LATA register read  
and write the latched output value for PORTA.  
The RA4 pin is multiplexed with the Timer0 module  
clock input and one of the comparator outputs to  
become the RA4/T0CKI/C1OUT pin. Pins RA6 and  
RA7 are multiplexed with the main oscillator pins; they  
are enabled as oscillator or I/O pins by the selection of  
the main oscillator in the Configuration register (see  
Section 22.1 “Configuration Bits” for details). When  
they are not used as port pins, RA6 and RA7 and their  
associated TRIS and LAT bits are read as ‘0’.  
Each port has three registers for its operation. These  
registers are:  
• TRIS register (data direction register)  
• PORT register (reads the levels on the pins of the  
device)  
• LAT register (output latch)  
The other PORTA pins are multiplexed with analog  
inputs, the analog VREF+ and VREF- inputs and the com-  
parator voltage reference output. The operation of pins  
RA3:RA0 and RA5 as A/D converter inputs is selected  
by clearing or setting the control bits in the ADCON1  
register (A/D Control Register 1).  
The Data Latch (LAT register) is useful for read-modify-  
write operations on the value that the I/O pins are  
driving.  
A simplified model of a generic I/O port, without the  
interfaces to other peripherals, is shown in Figure 9-1.  
Pins RA0 through RA5 may also be used as comparator  
inputs or outputs by setting the appropriate bits in the  
CMCON register. To use RA3:RA0 as digital inputs, it is  
also necessary to turn off the comparators.

Four of the PORTB pins (RB7:RB4) have an interrupt-  
on-change feature. Only pins configured as inputs can  
cause this interrupt to occur (i.e., any RB7:RB4 pin  
configured as an output is excluded from the interrupt-  
on-change comparison). The input pins (of RB7:RB4)  
are compared with the old value latched on the last  
read of PORTB. The “mismatch” outputs of RB7:RB4  
are ORed together to generate the RB Port Change  
Interrupt with Flag bit, RBIF (INTCON<0>).  
9.2  
PORTB, TRISB and LATB  
Registers  
PORTB is an 8-bit wide, bidirectional port. The  
corresponding data direction register is TRISB. Setting  
a TRISB bit (= 1) will make the corresponding PORTB  
pin an input (i.e., put the corresponding output driver in  
a high-impedance mode). Clearing a TRISB bit (= 0)  
will make the corresponding PORTB pin an output (i.e.,  
put the contents of the output latch on the selected pin).  
This interrupt can wake the device from the Sleep  
mode, or any of the Idle modes. The user, in the  
Interrupt Service Routine, can clear the interrupt in the  
following manner:  
The Data Latch register (LATB) is also memory  
mapped. Read-modify-write operations on the LATB  
register read and write the latched output value for  
PORTB.  
a) Any read or write of PORTB (except with the  
MOVFF (ANY), PORTBinstruction).  
EXAMPLE 9-2:  
INITIALIZING PORTB

; data latches  
; Alternate method  
; to clear output  
; data latches  
b) Clear flag bit RBIF.  
CLRF  
PORTB  
LATB  
0Fh  
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.  
CLRF  
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.

RB3 can be configured by the Configuration bit,

module (CCP2MX = 0).  
TRISB  
Each of the PORTB pins has a weak internal pull-up. A  
single control bit can turn on all the pull-ups. This is  
performed by clearing bit, RBPU (INTCON2<7>). The  
weak pull-up is automatically turned off when the port  
pin is configured as an output. The pull-ups are  
disabled on a Power-on Reset.  
Note:  
On a Power-on Reset, RB4:RB0 are  
configured as analog inputs by default and  
read as ‘0’; RB7:RB5 are configured as  
digital inputs.  
By programming the Configuration bit,  
PBADEN, RB4:RB0 will alternatively be  
configured as digital inputs on POR.

The contents of the TRISC register are affected by  
peripheral overrides. Reading TRISC always returns  
the current contents, even though a peripheral device  
may be overriding one or more of the pins.  
9.3  
PORTC, TRISC and LATC  
Registers  
PORTC is an 8-bit wide, bidirectional 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 high-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).

TRISC  
PORTC is multiplexed with several peripheral functions  
(Table 9-5). The pins have Schmitt Trigger input  
buffers. RC1 is normally configured by Configuration  
bit, CCP2MX, as the default peripheral pin of the CCP2  
module (default/erased state, CCP2MX = 1).  
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 output,  
while other peripherals override the TRIS bit to make a  
pin an input. The user should refer to the corresponding  
peripheral section for additional information.  
Note:  
On a Power-on Reset, these pins are  
configured as digital inputs.

PORTD can also be configured as an 8-bit wide micro-  
processor port (Parallel Slave Port) by setting control  
bit, PSPMODE (TRISE<4>). In this mode, the input  
buffers are TTL. See Section 9.6 “Parallel Slave  
Port” for additional information on the Parallel Slave  
Port (PSP).

PORTD, TRISD and LATD  
Registers  
Note:  
PORTD is only available on 40/44-pin  
devices.  
PORTD is an 8-bit wide, bidirectional port. The corre-  
sponding data direction register is TRISD. Setting a  
TRISD bit (= 1) will make the corresponding PORTD  
pin an input (i.e., put the corresponding output driver in  
a high-impedance mode). Clearing a TRISD bit (= 0)  
will make the corresponding PORTD pin an output (i.e.,  
put the contents of the output latch on the selected pin).  
Note:  
When the enhanced PWM mode is used  
with either dual or quad outputs, the PSP  
functions of PORTD are automatically  
disabled.

PIC18F2X1X/4X1X  
The fourth pin of PORTE (MCLR/VPP/RE3) is an input  
only pin. Its operation is controlled by the MCLRE Con-  
figuration bit. When selected as a port pin (MCLRE = 0),  
it functions as a digital input only pin; as such, it does not  
have TRIS or LAT bits associated with its operation.  
Otherwise, it functions as the device’s Master Clear  
input. In either configuration, RE3 also functions as the  
programming voltage input during programming.  
9.5  
PORTE, TRISE and LATE  
Registers  
Depending on the particular PIC18F2X1X/4X1X device  
selected, PORTE is implemented in two different ways.  
For 40/44-pin devices, PORTE is a 4-bit wide port.  
Three pins (RE0/RD/AN5, RE1/WR/AN6 and RE2/CS/  
AN7) are individually configurable as inputs or outputs.  
These pins have Schmitt Trigger input buffers. When  
selected as an analog input, these pins will read as ‘0’s.  
Note:  
On a Power-on Reset, RE3 is enabled as  
digital input only if Master Clear  
functionality is disabled.  
a
The corresponding data direction register is TRISE.  
Setting a TRISE bit (= 1) will make the corresponding  
PORTE pin an input (i.e., put the corresponding output  
driver in a high-impedance mode). Clearing a TRISE bit  
(= 0) will make the corresponding PORTE pin an output  
(i.e., put the contents of the output latch on the selected  
pin).

using them as analog inputs.

The upper four bits of the TRISE register also control  
the operation of the Parallel Slave Port. Their operation  
is explained in Register 9-1.  
9.5.1  
PORTE IN 28-PIN DEVICES  
The Data Latch register (LATE) is also memory  
mapped. Read-modify-write operations on the LATE  
register, read and write the latched output value for  
PORTE.  
For 28-pin devices, PORTE is only available when  
Master Clear functionality is disabled (MCLRE = 0). In  
these cases, PORTE is a single bit, input only port  
comprised of RE3 only. The pin operates as previously  
described.

(PARALLEL SLAVE PORT)  
In addition to its function as a general I/O port, PORTD  
can also operate as an 8-bit wide Parallel Slave Port  
(PSP) or microprocessor port. PSP operation is con-  
trolled by the 4 upper bits of the TRISE register  
(Register 9-1). Setting control bit, PSPMODE  
(TRISE<4>), enables PSP operation as long as the  
enhanced CCP module is not operating in dual output  
or quad output PWM mode. In Slave mode, the port is  
asynchronously readable and writable by the external  
world.

Data Latch

The PSP can directly interface to an 8-bit micro-  
processor data bus. The external microprocessor can  
read or write the PORTD latch as an 8-bit latch. Setting  
the control bit PSPMODE enables the PORTE I/O pins  
to become control inputs for the microprocessor port.  
When set, port pin RE0 is the RD input, RE1 is the WR  
input and RE2 is 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 control bits,  
PFCG3:PFCG0 (ADCON1<3:0>), must also be set to a  
value in the range of ‘1010’ through ‘1111’.

A read from the PSP occurs when both the CS and RD  
lines are first detected low. The data in PORTD is read  
out and the OBF bit is clear. If the user writes new data  
to PORTD to set OBF, the data is immediately read out;  
however, the OBF bit is not set.

Note:  
I/O pins have diode protection to VDD and VSS.  
When either the CS or RD lines are detected high, the  
PORTD pins return to the input state and the PSPIF bit  
is set. User applications should wait for PSPIF to be set  
before servicing the PSP; when this happens, the IBF  
and OBF bits can be polled and the appropriate action  
taken.

internal phase clock (TOSC). There is a delay between  
synchronization and the onset of incrementing the  
timer/counter.  
10.1 Timer0 Operation  
Timer0 can operate as either a timer or a counter; the  
mode is selected with the T0CS bit (T0CON<5>). In  
Timer mode (T0CS = 0), the module increments on  
every clock by default unless a different prescaler value  
is selected (see Section 10.3 “Prescaler”). If the  
TMR0 register is written to, 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.  
10.2 Timer0 Reads and Writes in  
16-Bit Mode  
TMR0H is not the actual high byte of Timer0 in 16-Bit  
mode; it is actually a buffered version of the real high  
byte of Timer0 which is not directly readable nor  
writable (refer to Figure 10-2). TMR0H is updated with  
the contents of the high byte of Timer0 during a read of  
TMR0L. This provides the ability to read all 16 bits of  
Timer0 without having to verify that the read of the high  
and low byte were valid, due to a rollover between  
successive reads of the high and low byte.  
The Counter mode is selected by setting the T0CS bit  
(= 1). In this mode, Timer0 increments either on every  
rising or falling edge of pin RA4/T0CKI. The increment-  
ing edge is determined by the Timer0 Source Edge  
Select bit, T0SE (T0CON<4>); clearing this bit selects  
the rising edge. Restrictions on the external clock input  
are discussed below.  
Similarly, a write to the high byte of Timer0 must also  
take place through the TMR0H Buffer register. The high  
byte is updated with the contents of TMR0H when a  
write occurs to TMR0L. This allows all 16 bits of Timer0  
to be updated at once.  
An external clock source can be used to drive Timer0;  
however, it must meet certain requirements to ensure  
that the external clock can be synchronized with the

10.3.1  
SWITCHING PRESCALER  
ASSIGNMENT  
10.3 Prescaler  
An 8-bit counter is available as a prescaler for the Timer0  
module. The prescaler is not directly readable or writable;  
its value is set by the PSA and T0PS2:T0PS0 bits  
(T0CON<3:0>), which determine the prescaler  
assignment and prescale ratio.  
The prescaler assignment is fully under software  
control and can be changed “on-the-fly” during program  
execution.  
10.4 Timer0 Interrupt  
Clearing the PSA bit assigns the prescaler to the  
Timer0 module. When it is assigned, prescale values  
from 1:2 through 1:256 in power-of-2 increments are  
selectable.  
The TMR0 interrupt is generated when the TMR0  
register overflows from FFh to 00h in 8-Bit mode, or from  
FFFFh to 0000h in 16-Bit mode. This overflow sets the  
TMR0IF flag bit. The interrupt can be masked by clear-  
ing the TMR0IE bit (INTCON<5>). Before re-enabling  
the interrupt, the TMR0IF bit must be cleared in software  
by the Interrupt Service Routine.  
When assigned to the Timer0 module, all instructions  
writing to the TMR0 register (e.g., CLRF TMR0, MOVWF  
TMR0, BSF TMR0, etc.) clear the prescaler count.  
Note:  
Writing to TMR0 when the prescaler is  
assigned to Timer0 will clear the prescaler  
count but will not change the prescaler  
assignment.  
Since Timer0 is shut down in Sleep mode, the TMR0  
interrupt cannot awaken the processor from Sleep.

operation in Read/Write mode is shown in Figure 11-2.  
11.0 TIMER1 MODULE  
The Timer1 timer/counter module incorporates these  
features:  
The module incorporates its own low-power oscillator  
to provide an additional clocking option. The Timer1  
oscillator can also be used as a low-power clock source  
for the microcontroller in power-managed operation.  
• Software selectable operation as a 16-bit timer or  
counter  
• Readable and writable 8-bit registers (TMR1H  
and TMR1L)  
Timer1 can also be used to provide Real-Time Clock  
(RTC) functionality to applications with only a minimal  
addition of external components and code overhead.  
• Selectable clock source (internal or external) with  
device clock or Timer1 oscillator internal options  
• Interrupt-on-overflow  
Timer1 is controlled through the T1CON Control  
register (Register 11-1). It also contains the Timer1  
Oscillator Enable bit (T1OSCEN). Timer1 can be  
enabled or disabled by setting or clearing control bit,  
TMR1ON (T1CON<0>).  
• Reset on CCP special event trigger  
• Device clock status flag (T1RUN)

11.1 Timer1 Operation  
Timer1 can operate in one of these modes:  
• Timer  
When Timer1 is enabled, the RC1/T1OSI and RC0/  
T1OSO/T13CKI pins become inputs. This means the  
values of TRISC<1:0> are ignored and the pins are  
read as ‘0’.  
• Synchronous Counter  
• Asynchronous Counter  
The operating mode is determined by the clock select  
bit, TMR1CS (T1CON<1>). When TMR3CS is cleared  
(= 0), Timer1 increments on every internal instruction

11.2 Timer1 16-Bit Read/Write Mode  
Timer1 can be configured for 16-bit reads and writes  
(see Figure 11-2). When the RD16 control bit  
(T1CON<7>) is set, the address for TMR1H is mapped  
to a buffer register for the high byte of Timer1. A read  
from TMR1L will load the contents of the high byte of  
Timer1 into the Timer1 high byte buffer. This provides  
the user with the ability to accurately read all 16 bits of  
Timer1 without having to determine whether a read of  
the high byte, followed by a read of the low byte, has  
become invalid due to a rollover between reads.

Note 1: Microchip suggests these values as a  
starting point in validating the oscillator  
circuit.  
2: Higher capacitance increases the stability  
of the oscillator but also increases the  
start-up time.  
A write to the high byte of Timer1 must also take place  
through the TMR1H Buffer register. The Timer1 high  
byte is updated with the contents of TMR1H when a  
write occurs to TMR1L. This allows a user to write all  
16 bits to both the high and low bytes of Timer1 at once.  
3: Since each resonator/crystal has its own  
characteristics, the user should consult  
the resonator/crystal manufacturer for  
appropriate  
values  
of  
external  
components.  
The high byte of Timer1 is not directly readable or  
writable in this mode. All reads and writes must take  
place through the Timer1 High Byte Buffer register.  
Writes to TMR1H do not clear the Timer1 prescaler.  
The prescaler is only cleared on writes to TMR1L.  
4: Capacitor values are for design guidance  
only.  
11.3.1  
USING TIMER1 AS A  
CLOCK SOURCE  
The Timer1 oscillator is also available as a clock source  
in power-managed modes. By setting the clock select  
bits, SCS1:SCS0 (OSCCON<1:0>), to ‘01’, the device  
switches to SEC_RUN mode; both the CPU and  
peripherals are clocked from the Timer1 oscillator. If the  
IDLEN bit (OSCCON<7>) is cleared and a SLEEP  
instruction is executed, the device enter SEC_IDLE  
mode. Additional details are available in Section 3.0  
“Power-Managed Modes”.  
11.3 Timer1 Oscillator  
An on-chip crystal oscillator circuit is incorporated  
between pins T1OSI (input) and T1OSO (amplifier  
output). It is enabled by setting the Timer1 Oscillator  
Enable bit, T1OSCEN (T1CON<3>). The oscillator is a  
low-power circuit rated for 32 kHz crystals. It will  
continue to run during all power-managed modes. The  
circuit for a typical LP oscillator is shown in Figure 11-3.  
Table 11-1 shows the capacitor selection for the Timer1  
oscillator.  
Whenever the Timer1 oscillator is providing the clock  
source, the Timer1 system clock status flag, T1RUN  
(T1CON<6>), is set. This can be used to determine the  
controller’s current clocking mode. It can also indicate  
the clock source being currently used by the Fail-Safe  
Clock Monitor. If the Clock Monitor is enabled and the  
Timer1 oscillator fails while providing the clock, polling  
the T1RUN bit will indicate whether the clock is being  
provided by the Timer1 oscillator or another source.  
The user must provide a software time delay to ensure  
proper start-up of the Timer1 oscillator.

LOW-POWER TIMER1 OPTION  
T1OSI  
The Timer1 oscillator can operate at two distinct levels  
of power consumption based on device configuration.  
When the LPT1OSC Configuration bit is set, the Timer1  
oscillator operates in a low-power mode. When  
LPT1OSC is not set, Timer1 operates at a higher power  
level. Power consumption for a particular mode is rela-  
tively constant, regardless of the device’s operating  
mode. The default Timer1 configuration is the higher  
power mode.

Note:  
See the Notes with Table 11-1 for additional

As the low-power Timer1 mode tends to be more sen-  
sitive to interference, high noise environments may  
cause some oscillator instability. The low-power option  
is, therefore, best suited for low noise applications  
where power conservation is an important design  
consideration.

11.3.3  
TIMER1 OSCILLATOR LAYOUT  
CONSIDERATIONS  
11.5 Resetting Timer1 Using the CCP  
Special Event Trigger  
The Timer1 oscillator circuit draws very little power  
during operation. Due to the low-power nature of the  
oscillator, it may also be sensitive to rapidly changing  
signals in close proximity.  
If either of the CCP modules is configured to use Timer1  
and generate a Special Event Trigger in Compare mode  
(CCP1M3:CCP1M0 or CCP2M3:CCP2M0 = 1011), this  
signal will reset Timer1. The trigger from CCP2 will also  
start an A/D conversion if the A/D module is enabled  
(see Section 14.3.4 “Special Event Trigger” for more  
information).  
The oscillator circuit, shown in Figure 11-3, should be  
located as close as possible to the microcontroller.  
There should be no circuits passing within the oscillator  
circuit boundaries other than VSS or VDD.  
The module must be configured as either a timer or a  
synchronous counter to take advantage of this feature.  
When used this way, the CCPRH:CCPRL register pair  
effectively becomes a period register for Timer1.  
If a high-speed circuit must be located near the oscilla-  
tor (such as the CCP1 pin in Output Compare or PWM  
mode, or the primary oscillator using the OSC2 pin), a  
grounded guard ring around the oscillator circuit, as  
shown in Figure 11-4, may be helpful when used on a  
single-sided PCB or in addition to a ground plane.  
If Timer1 is running in Asynchronous Counter mode,  
this Reset operation may not work.  
In the event that a write to Timer1 coincides with a  
special event trigger, the write operation will take  
precedence.

The special event triggers from the CCP2  
module will not set the TMR1IF interrupt  
flag bit (PIR1<0>).

11.6 Using Timer1 as a Real-Time Clock  
OSC1  
OSC2  
Adding an external LP oscillator to Timer1 (such as the  
one described in Section 11.3 “Timer1 Oscillator”  
above) gives users the option to include RTC function-  
ality to their applications. This is accomplished with an  
inexpensive watch crystal to provide an accurate time  
base and several lines of application code to calculate  
the time. When operating in Sleep mode and using a  
battery or supercapacitor as a power source, it can  
completely eliminate the need for a separate RTC  
device and battery backup.  
RC0  
RC1  
RC2  
The application code routine, RTCisr, shown in  
Example 11-1, demonstrates a simple method to  
increment a counter at one-second intervals using an  
Interrupt Service Routine. Incrementing the TMR1  
register pair to overflow triggers the interrupt and calls  
the routine, which increments the seconds counter by  
one; additional counters for minutes and hours are  
incremented as the previous counter overflow.  
Note: Not drawn to scale.  
11.4 Timer1 Interrupt  
The TMR1 register pair (TMR1H:TMR1L) increments  
from 0000h to FFFFh and rolls over to 0000h. The  
Timer1 interrupt, if enabled, is generated on overflow,  
which is latched in interrupt flag bit, TMR1IF  
(PIR1<0>). This interrupt can be enabled or disabled  
by setting or clearing the Timer1 Interrupt Enable bit,  
TMR1IE (PIE1<0>).  
Since the register pair is 16 bits wide, counting up to  
overflow the register directly from a 32.768 kHz clock  
would take 2 seconds. To force the overflow at the  
required one-second intervals, it is necessary to  
preload it. The simplest method is to set the MSb of  
TMR1H with a BSF instruction. Note that the TMR1L  
register is never preloaded or altered. Doing so may  
introduce cumulative errors over many cycles.  
For this method to be accurate, Timer1 must operate in  
Asynchronous mode and the Timer1 overflow interrupt  
must be enabled (PIE1<0> = 1), as shown in the  
routine, RTCinit. The Timer1 oscillator must also be  
enabled and running at all times.

12.1 Timer2 Operation  
12.0 TIMER2 MODULE  
In normal operation, TMR2 is incremented from 00h on  
each clock (FOSC/4). A 4-bit counter/prescaler on the  
clock input gives direct input, divide-by-4 and divide-by-  
16 prescale options; these are selected by the prescaler  
control bits, T2CKPS1:T2CKPS0 (T2CON<1:0>). The  
value of TMR2 is compared to that of the period register,  
PR2, on each clock cycle. When the two values match,  
the comparator generates a match signal as the timer  
output. This signal also resets the value of TMR2 to 00h  
on the next cycle and drives the output counter/  
postscaler (see Section 12.2 “Timer2 Interrupt”).  
The Timer2 module timer incorporates the following  
features:  
• 8-bit timer and period registers (TMR2 and PR2,  
respectively)  
• Readable and writable (both registers)  
• Software programmable prescaler (1:1, 1:4 and  
1:16)  
• Software programmable postscaler (1:1 through  
1:16)  
• Interrupt on TMR2-to-PR2 match  
• Optional use as the shift clock for the MSSP  
module  
The TMR2 and PR2 registers are both directly readable  
and writable. The TMR2 register is cleared on any  
device Reset, while the PR2 register initializes at FFh.  
Both the prescaler and postscaler counters are cleared  
on the following events:  
The module is controlled through the T2CON register  
(Register 12-1), which enables or disables the timer  
and configures the prescaler and postscaler. Timer2  
can be shut off by clearing control bit, TMR2ON  
(T2CON<2>), to minimize power consumption.  
• a write to the TMR2 register  
• a write to the T2CON register  
A simplified block diagram of the module is shown in  
Figure 12-1.  
• any device Reset (Power-on Reset, MCLR Reset,  
Watchdog Timer Reset or Brown-out Reset)  
TMR2 is not cleared when T2CON is written.

12.2 Timer2 Interrupt  
12.3 Timer2 Output  
Timer2 also can generate an optional device interrupt.  
The Timer2 output signal (TMR2-to-PR2 match)  
provides the input for the 4-bit output counter/  
postscaler. This counter generates the TMR2 match  
interrupt flag which is latched in TMR2IF (PIR1<1>).  
The interrupt is enabled by setting the TMR2 Match  
Interrupt Enable bit, TMR2IE (PIE1<1>).  
The unscaled output of TMR2 is available primarily to  
the CCP modules, where it is used as a time base for  
operations in PWM mode.  
Timer2 can be optionally used as the shift clock source  
for the MSSP module operating in SPI mode. Addi-  
tional information is provided in Section 16.0 “Master  
Synchronous Serial Port (MSSP) Module”.  
A range of 16 postscale options (from 1:1 through 1:16  
inclusive) can be selected with the postscaler control  
bits, T2OUTPS3:T2OUTPS0 (T2CON<6:3>).

The Timer3 module is controlled through the T3CON  
register (Register 13-1). It also selects the clock source  
options for the CCP modules (see Section 14.1.1  
“CCP Modules and Timer Resources” for more  
information).  
• Software selectable operation as a 16-bit timer or  
counter  
• Readable and writable 8-bit registers (TMR3H  
and TMR3L)  
• Selectable clock source (internal or external) with  
device clock or Timer1 oscillator internal options

The operating mode is determined by the clock select  
bit, TMR3CS (T3CON<1>). When TMR3CS is cleared  
(= 0), Timer3 increments on every internal instruction  
cycle (FOSC/4). When the bit is set, Timer3 increments  
on every rising edge of the Timer1 external clock input  
or the Timer1 oscillator, if enabled.  
13.1 Timer3 Operation  
Timer3 can operate in one of three modes:  
• Timer  
• Synchronous Counter  
• Asynchronous Counter  
As with Timer1, the RC1/T1OSI and RC0/T1OSO/  
T13CKI pins become inputs when the Timer1 oscillator  
is enabled. This means the values of TRISC<1:0> are  
ignored and the pins are read as ‘0’.

13.2 Timer3 16-Bit Read/Write Mode  
13.4 Timer3 Interrupt  
Timer3 can be configured for 16-bit reads and writes  
(see Figure 13-2). When the RD16 control bit  
(T3CON<7>) is set, the address for TMR3H is mapped  
to a buffer register for the high byte of Timer3. A read  
from TMR3L will load the contents of the high byte of  
Timer3 into the Timer3 High Byte Buffer register. This  
provides the user with the ability to accurately read all  
16 bits of Timer1 without having to determine whether  
a read of the high byte, followed by a read of the low  
byte, has become invalid due to a rollover between  
reads.  
The TMR3 register pair (TMR3H:TMR3L) increments  
from 0000h to FFFFh and overflows to 0000h. The  
Timer3 interrupt, if enabled, is generated on overflow  
and is latched in interrupt flag bit, TMR3IF (PIR2<1>).  
This interrupt can be enabled or disabled by setting or  
clearing the Timer3 Interrupt Enable bit, TMR3IE  
(PIE2<1>).  
13.5 Resetting Timer3 Using the CCP  
Special Event Trigger  
If either of the CCP modules is configured to use Timer3  
and to generate a special event trigger in Compare mode  
(CCP1M3:CCP1M0 or CCP2M3:CCP2M0 = 1011), this  
signal will reset Timer3. It will also start an A/D conversion  
if the A/D module is enabled (see Section 14.3.4  
“Special Event Trigger” for more information).  
A write to the high byte of Timer3 must also take place  
through the TMR3H Buffer register. The Timer3 high  
byte is updated with the contents of TMR3H when a  
write occurs to TMR3L. This allows a user to write all  
16 bits to both the high and low bytes of Timer3 at once.  
The high byte of Timer3 is not directly readable or  
writable in this mode. All reads and writes must take  
place through the Timer3 High Byte Buffer register.  
The module must be configured as either a timer or  
synchronous counter to take advantage of this feature.  
When used this way, the CCPR2H:CCPR2L register  
pair effectively becomes a period register for Timer3.  
Writes to TMR3H do not clear the Timer3 prescaler.  
The prescaler is only cleared on writes to TMR3L.  
If Timer3 is running in Asynchronous Counter mode,  
the Reset operation may not work.  
13.3 Using the Timer1 Oscillator as the  
Timer3 Clock Source  
In the event that a write to Timer3 coincides with a  
special event trigger from a CCP module, the write will  
take precedence.  
The Timer1 internal oscillator may be used as the clock  
source for Timer3. The Timer1 oscillator is enabled by  
setting the T1OSCEN (T1CON<3>) bit. To use it as the  
Timer3 clock source, the TMR3CS bit must also be set.  
As previously noted, this also configures Timer3 to  
increment on every rising edge of the oscillator source.  
Note:  
The special event triggers from the CCP2  
module will not set the TMR3IF interrupt  
flag bit (PIR1<0>).  
The Timer1 oscillator is described in Section 11.0  
“Timer1 Module”.

The Capture and Compare operations described in this  
chapter apply to all standard and Enhanced CCP  
modules.  
14.0 CAPTURE/COMPARE/PWM  
(CCP) MODULES  
PIC18F2X1X/4X1X devices all have two CCP  
(Capture/Compare/PWM) modules. Each module con-  
tains a 16-bit register which can operate as a 16-bit  
Capture register, a 16-bit Compare register or a PWM  
Master/Slave Duty Cycle register.  
Note: Throughout this section and Section 15.0  
“Enhanced Capture/Compare/PWM (ECCP)  
Module”, references to the register and bit  
names for CCP modules are referred to gener-  
ically by the use of ‘x’ or ‘y’ in place of the  
specific module number. Thus, “CCPxCON”  
might refer to the control register for CCP1,  
CCP2 or ECCP1. “CCPxCON” is used  
throughout these sections to refer to the  
module control register, regardless of whether  
the CCP module is a standard or Enhanced  
implementation.  
In 28-pin devices, the two standard CCP modules  
(CCP1 and CCP2) operate as described in this chapter.  
In 40/44-pin devices, CCP1 is implemented as an  
Enhanced CCP module with standard Capture and  
Compare modes and Enhanced PWM modes. The  
ECCP implementation is discussed in Section 15.0  
“Enhanced  
Capture/Compare/PWM

The assignment of a particular timer to a module is  
determined by the Timer-to-CCP enable bits in the  
T3CON register (Register 13-1). Both modules may be  
active at any given time and may share the same timer  
resource if they are configured to operate in the same  
mode (Capture/Compare or PWM) at the same time. The  
interactions between the two modules are summarized in  
Figure 14-1 and Figure 14-2. In Timer1 in Asynchronous  
Counter mode, the capture operation will not work.  
14.1 CCP Module Configuration  
Each Capture/Compare/PWM module is associated  
with a control register (generically, CCPxCON) and a  
data register (CCPRx). The data register, in turn, is  
comprised of two 8-bit registers: CCPRxL (low byte)  
and CCPRxH (high byte). All registers are both  
readable and writable.  
14.1.1  
CCP MODULES AND TIMER  
RESOURCES  
14.1.2  
CCP2 PIN ASSIGNMENT  
The CCP modules utilize Timers 1, 2 or 3, depending  
on the mode selected. Timer1 and Timer3 are available  
to modules in Capture or Compare modes, while  
Timer2 is available for modules in PWM mode.  
The pin assignment for CCP2 (Capture input, Compare  
and PWM output) can change, based on device config-  
uration. The CCP2MX Configuration bit determines  
which pin CCP2 is multiplexed to. By default, it is  
assigned to RC1 (CCP2MX = 1). If the Configuration bit  
is cleared, CCP2 is multiplexed with RB3.  
TABLE 14-1: CCP MODE – TIMER  
RESOURCE  
Changing the pin assignment of CCP2 does not auto-  
matically change any requirements for configuring the  
port pin. Users must always verify that the appropriate  
TRIS register is configured correctly for CCP2  
operation, regardless of where it is located.

14.2.3  
SOFTWARE INTERRUPT  
14.2 Capture Mode  
When the Capture mode is changed, a false capture  
interrupt may be generated. The user should keep the  
CCPxIE interrupt enable bit clear to avoid false inter-  
rupts. The interrupt flag bit, CCPxIF, should also be  
cleared following any such change in operating mode.  
In Capture mode, the CCPRxH:CCPRxL register pair  
captures the 16-bit value of the TMR1 or TMR3  
registers when an event occurs on the corresponding  
CCPx pin. An event is defined as one of the following:  
• every falling edge  
• every rising edge  
14.2.4  
CCP PRESCALER  
• every 4th rising edge  
• every 16th rising edge  
There are four prescaler settings in Capture mode; they  
are specified as part of the operating mode selected by  
the mode select bits (CCPxM3:CCPxM0). Whenever  
the CCP module is turned off or Capture mode is dis-  
abled, the prescaler counter is cleared. This means  
that any Reset will clear the prescaler counter.  
The event is selected by the mode select bits,  
CCPxM3:CCPxM0 (CCPxCON<3:0>). When a capture  
is made, the interrupt request flag bit, CCPxIF, is set; it  
must be cleared in software. If another capture occurs  
before the value in register CCPRx is read, the old  
captured value is overwritten by the new captured value.  
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  
14.2.1  
CCP PIN CONFIGURATION  
a
non-zero prescaler. Example 14-1 shows the  
recommended method for switching between capture  
prescalers. This example also clears the prescaler  
counter and will not generate the “false” interrupt.  
In Capture mode, the appropriate CCPx pin should be  
configured as an input by setting the corresponding  
TRIS direction bit.  
Note:  
If RB3/CCP2 or RC1/CCP2 is configured  
as an output, a write to the port can cause  
a capture condition.

TIMER1/TIMER3 MODE SELECTION  
14.3 Compare Mode  
Timer1 and/or Timer3 must be running in Timer mode  
or Synchronized Counter mode if the CCP module is  
using the compare feature. In Asynchronous Counter  
mode, the compare operation may not work.  
In Compare mode, the 16-bit CCPRx register value is  
constantly compared against either the TMR1 or TMR3  
register pair value. When a match occurs, the CCPx pin  
can be:  
• driven high  
14.3.3  
SOFTWARE INTERRUPT MODE  
• driven low  
When the Generate Software Interrupt mode is chosen  
(CCPxM3:CCPxM0 = 1010), the corresponding CCPx  
pin is not affected. Only a CCP interrupt is generated,  
if enabled and the CCPxIE bit is set.  
• toggled (high-to-low or low-to-high)  
• remain unchanged (that is, reflects the state of the  
I/O latch)  
The action on the pin is based on the value of the mode  
select bits (CCPxM3:CCPxM0). At the same time, the  
interrupt flag bit CCPxIF is set.  
14.3.4  
SPECIAL EVENT TRIGGER  
Both CCP modules are equipped with a special event  
trigger. This is an internal hardware signal generated  
in Compare mode to trigger actions by other modules.  
The special event trigger is enabled by selecting the  
Compare  
(CCPxM3:CCPxM0 = 1011).  
14.3.1  
CCP PIN CONFIGURATION  
The user must configure the CCPx pin as an output by  
clearing the appropriate TRIS bit.

Event  
Trigger  
mode  
Note:  
Clearing the CCP2CON register will force  
the RB3 or RC1 compare output latch  
(depending on device configuration) to the  
default low level. This is not the PORTB or  
PORTC I/O data latch.  
For either CCP module, the special event trigger resets  
the timer register pair for whichever timer resource is  
currently assigned as the module’s time base. This  
allows the CCPRx registers to serve as a programma-  
ble period register for either timer.  
The special event trigger for CCP2 can also start an A/D  
conversion. In order to do this, the A/D converter must  
already be enabled.

14.4.1  
PWM PERIOD  
14.4 PWM Mode  
The PWM period is specified by writing to the PR2  
register. The PWM period can be calculated using the  
following formula:  
In Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) mode, the CCPx pin  
produces up to a 10-bit resolution PWM output. Since  
the CCP2 pin is multiplexed with a PORTB or PORTC  
data latch, the appropriate TRIS bit must be cleared to  
make the CCP2 pin an output.  
EQUATION 14-1:  
PWM Period = [(PR2) + 1] • 4 • TOSC •  
(TMR2 Prescale Value)  
Note:  
Clearing the CCP2CON register will force  
the RB3 or RC1 output latch (depending  
on device configuration) to the default  
low level. This is not the PORTB or  
PORTC I/O data latch.  
PWM frequency is defined as 1/[PWM period].  
When TMR2 is equal to PR2, the following three events  
occur on the next increment cycle:  
Figure 14-3 shows a simplified block diagram of the  
CCP module in PWM mode.  
• TMR2 is cleared  
For a step-by-step procedure on how to set up the CCP  
module for PWM operation, see Section 14.4.4  
“Setup for PWM Operation”.  
• The CCPx pin is set (exception: if PWM duty  
cycle = 0%, the CCPx pin will not be set)  
• The PWM duty cycle is latched from CCPRxL into  
CCPRxH  
FIGURE 14-3:  
SIMPLIFIED PWM BLOCK  
DIAGRAM  
Note:  
The Timer2 postscalers (see Section 12.0  
“Timer2 Module”) are not used in the  
determination of the PWM frequency. The  
postscaler could be used to have a servo  
update rate at a different frequency than  
the PWM output.

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

EQUATION 14-2:  
PWM Duty Cycle = (CCPRXL:CCPXCON<5:4>) •  
TOSC • (TMR2 Prescale Value)  
Note 1: The 8-bit TMR2 value is concatenated with 2-bit  
internal Q clock, or 2 bits of the prescaler, to create the  
10-bit time base.  
CCPRxL and CCPxCON<5:4> can be written to at any  
time but the duty cycle value is not latched into  
CCPR2H until after a match between PR2 and TMR2  
occurs (i.e., the period is complete). In PWM mode,  
CCPRxH is a read-only register.  
A PWM output (Figure 14-4) 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 CCPRxH 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 CCPRxH and 2-bit latch match TMR2,  
concatenated with an internal 2-bit Q clock or 2 bits of  
the TMR2 prescaler, the CCPx pin is cleared.  
Note:  
If the PWM duty cycle value is longer than  
the PWM period, the CCP2 pin will not be  
cleared.

devices. The operation of this feature is  
discussed in detail in Section 15.4.7 “Enhanced  
PWM Auto-Shutdown”.  
1. Set the PWM period by writing to the PR2  
register.  
2. Set the PWM duty cycle by writing to the  
CCPRxL register and CCPxCON<5:4> bits.  
Auto-shutdown features are not available for CCP2.  
3. Make the CCPx pin an output by clearing the  
appropriate TRIS bit.  
4. Set the TMR2 prescale value, then enable  
Timer2 by writing to T2CON.  
5. Configure the CCPx module for PWM operation.

PIC18F2X1X/4X1X  
In addition to the expanded range of modes available  
through the CCP1CON and ECCP1AS registers, the  
ECCP module has an additional register associated  
with Enhanced PWM operation and auto-shutdown  
features. This register is:  
15.2 Capture and Compare Modes  
Except for the operation of the special event trigger  
discussed below, the Capture and Compare modes of  
the ECCP module are identical in operation to that of  
CCP2. These are discussed in detail in Section 14.2  
“Capture Mode” and Section 14.3 “Compare  
Mode”. No changes are required when moving  
between 28-pin and 40/44-pin devices.  
• PWM1CON (PWM Configuration register)  
15.1 ECCP Outputs and Configuration  
The Enhanced CCP module may have up to four PWM  
outputs, depending on the selected operating mode.  
These outputs, designated P1A through P1D, are  
multiplexed with I/O pins on PORTC and PORTD. The  
outputs that are active depend on the CCP operating  
mode selected. The pin assignments are summarized  
in Table 15-1.  
15.2.1  
SPECIAL EVENT TRIGGER  
The special event trigger output of ECCP1 resets the  
TMR1 or TMR3 register pair, depending on which timer  
resource is currently selected. This allows the CCPR1  
register to effectively be a 16-bit programmable period  
register for Timer1 or Timer3.  
To configure the I/O pins as PWM outputs, the proper  
PWM mode must be selected by setting the  
P1M1:P1M0 and CCP1M3:CCP1M0 bits. The  
appropriate TRISC and TRISD direction bits for the port  
pins must also be set as outputs.  
15.3 Standard PWM Mode  
When configured in Single Output mode, the ECCP  
module functions identically to the standard CCP  
module in PWM mode, as described in Section 14.4  
“PWM Mode”. This is also sometimes referred to as  
“Compatible CCP” mode, as in Table 15-1.  
15.1.1  
ECCP MODULES AND TIMER  
RESOURCES  
Note:  
When setting up single output PWM  
operations, users are free to use either of  
the processes described in Section 14.4.4  
“Setup for PWM Operation” or  
Section 15.4.9 “Setup for PWM Opera-  
tion”. The latter is more generic and will  
work for either single or multi-output PWM.  
Like the standard CCP modules, the ECCP module can  
utilize Timers 1, 2 or 3, depending on the mode  
selected. Timer1 and Timer3 are available for modules  
in Capture or Compare modes, while Timer2 is  
available for modules in PWM mode. Interactions  
between the standard and Enhanced CCP modules are  
identical to those described for standard CCP modules.  
Additional details on timer resources are provided in  
Section 14.1.1

Modules  
and

Resources”.

15.4 Enhanced PWM Mode  
The PWM period is specified by writing to the PR2  
register. The PWM period can be calculated using the  
following equation.  
The Enhanced PWM mode provides additional PWM  
output options for a broader range of control applica-  
tions. The module is a backward compatible version of  
the standard CCP module and offers up to four outputs,  
designated P1A through P1D. Users are also able to  
select the polarity of the signal (either active-high or  
active-low). The module’s output mode and polarity are  
configured by setting the P1M1:P1M0 and  
CCP1M3:CCP1M0 bits of the CCP1CON register.  
EQUATION 15-1:  
PWM Period = [(PR2) + 1] • 4 • TOSC •  
(TMR2 Prescale Value)  
PWM frequency is defined as 1/[PWM period]. When  
TMR2 is equal to PR2, the following three events occur  
on the next increment cycle:  
Figure 15-1 shows a simplified block diagram of PWM  
operation. All control registers are double-buffered and  
are loaded at the beginning of a new PWM cycle (the  
period boundary when Timer2 resets) in order to  
prevent glitches on any of the outputs. The exception is  
the PWM Delay register, PWM1CON, which is loaded  
at either the duty cycle boundary or the period bound-  
ary (whichever comes first). Because of the buffering,  
the module waits until the assigned timer resets instead  
of starting immediately. This means that Enhanced  
PWM waveforms do not exactly match the standard  
PWM waveforms, but are instead offset by one full  
instruction cycle (4 TOSC).  
• TMR2 is cleared  
• The CCP1 pin is set (if PWM duty cycle = 0%, the  
CCP1 pin will not be set)  
• The PWM duty cycle is copied from CCPR1L into  
CCPR1H  
Note:  
The Timer2 postscaler (see Section 12.0  
“Timer2 Module”) is not used in the  
determination of the PWM frequency. The  
postscaler could be used to have a servo  
update rate at a different frequency than  
the PWM output.  
As before, the user must manually configure the  
appropriate TRIS bits for output.

PWM DUTY CYCLE  
EQUATION 15-3:  
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 PWM duty cycle is  
calculated by the following equation.

Note:  
If the PWM duty cycle value is longer than  
the PWM period, the CCP1 pin will not be  
cleared.  
EQUATION 15-2:  
PWM Duty Cycle = (CCPR1L:CCP1CON<5:4>) •  
TOSC • (TMR2 Prescale Value)  
15.4.3  
PWM OUTPUT CONFIGURATIONS  
The P1M1:P1M0 bits in the CCP1CON register allow  
one of four configurations:  
CCPR1L and CCP1CON<5:4> can be written to at any  
time, but the duty cycle value is not copied into  
CCPR1H until a match between PR2 and TMR2 occurs  
(i.e., the period is complete). In PWM mode, CCPR1H  
is a read-only register.  
• Single Output  
• Half-Bridge Output  
• Full-Bridge Output, Forward mode  
• Full-Bridge Output, Reverse mode  
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, concatenated with an internal 2-bit Q clock or  
two bits of the TMR2 prescaler, the CCP1 pin is  
cleared. The maximum PWM resolution (bits) for a  
given PWM frequency is given by the following  
equation.  
The Single Output mode is the standard PWM mode  
discussed in Section 15.4 “Enhanced PWM Mode”.  
The Half-Bridge and Full-Bridge Output modes are  
covered in detail in the sections that follow.  
The general relationship of the outputs in all  
configurations is summarized in Figure 15-2.

HALF-BRIDGE MODE  
FIGURE 15-4:  
HALF-BRIDGE PWM  
OUTPUT  
In the Half-Bridge Output mode, two pins are used as  
outputs to drive push-pull loads. The PWM output  
signal is output on the P1A pin, while the complemen-  
tary PWM output signal is output on the P1B pin  
(Figure 15-4). This mode can be used for half-bridge  
applications, as shown in Figure 15-5, or for full-bridge  
applications where four power switches are being  
modulated with two PWM signals.

In Half-Bridge Output mode, the programmable dead-

PDC6:PDC0 sets the number of instruction cycles  
before the output is driven active. If the value is greater  
than the duty cycle, the corresponding output remains  
inactive during the entire cycle. See Section 15.4.6

In Full-Bridge Output mode, four pins are used as

In the Forward mode, pin P1A is continuously active

P1C is continuously active and pin P1B is modulated.  
These are illustrated in Figure 15-6.

Figure 15-9 shows an example where the PWM  
direction changes from forward to reverse at a near  
100% duty cycle. At time t1, the outputs P1A and P1D  
become inactive, while output P1C becomes active. In  
this example, since the turn-off time of the power  
devices is longer than the turn-on time, a shoot-through  
current may flow through power devices, QC and QD  
(see Figure 15-7), for the duration of ‘t’. The same  
phenomenon will occur to power devices, QA and QB,  
for PWM direction change from reverse to forward.  
15.4.5.1  
Direction Change in Full-Bridge Mode  
In the Full-Bridge Output mode, the P1M1 bit in the  
CCP1CON register allows user to control the forward/  
reverse direction. When the application firmware  
changes this direction control bit, the module will  
assume the new direction on the next PWM cycle.  
Just before the end of the current PWM period, the  
modulated outputs (P1B and P1D) are placed in their  
inactive state, while the unmodulated outputs (P1A and  
P1C) are switched to drive in the opposite direction.  
This occurs in a time interval of 4 TOSC * (Timer2  
Prescale Value) before the next PWM period begins.  
The Timer2 prescaler will be either 1, 4 or 16, depend-  
ing on the value of the T2CKPS bit (T2CON<1:0>).  
During the interval from the switch of the unmodulated  
outputs to the beginning of the next period, the  
modulated outputs (P1B and P1D) remain inactive.  
This relationship is shown in Figure 15-8.  
If changing PWM direction at high duty cycle is required  
for an application, one of the following requirements  
must be met:  
1. Reduce PWM for  
changing directions.  
a PWM period before  
2. Use switch drivers that can drive the switches off  
faster than they can drive them on.  
Other options to prevent shoot-through current may  
exist.  
Note that in the Full-Bridge Output mode, the CCP1  
module does not provide any dead-band delay. In  
general, since only one output is modulated at all times,  
dead-band delay is not required. However, there is a  
situation where a dead-band delay might be required.  
This situation occurs when both of the following  
conditions are true:  
1. The direction of the PWM output changes when  
the duty cycle of the output is at or near 100%.  
2. The turn-off time of the power switch, including  
the power device and driver circuit, is greater  
than the turn-on time.

A shutdown event can be caused by either of the  
comparator modules, a low level on the Fault input pin  
(FLT0) or any combination of these three sources. The  
comparators may be used to monitor a voltage input  
proportional to a current being monitored in the bridge

PROGRAMMABLE DEAD-BAND  
DELAY  
Note:  
Programmable dead-band delay is not

circuit. If the voltage exceeds  
a threshold, the  
comparator switches state and triggers a shutdown.  
Alternatively, a low digital signal on FLT0 can also trigger  
a shutdown. The auto-shutdown feature can be disabled  
by not selecting any auto-shutdown sources. The auto-  
shutdown sources to be used are selected using the  
ECCPAS2:ECCPAS0 bits (bits<6:4> of the ECCP1AS  
register).  
In half-bridge applications where all power switches are  
modulated at the PWM frequency at all times, the  
power switches normally require more time to turn off  
than to turn on. If both the upper and lower power  
switches are switched at the same time (one turned on  
and the other turned off), both switches may be on for  
a short period of time until one switch completely turns  
off. During this brief interval, a very high current (shoot-  
through current) may flow through both power  
switches, shorting the bridge supply. To avoid this  
potentially destructive shoot-through current from  
flowing during switching, turning on either of the power  
switches is normally delayed to allow the other switch  
to completely turn off.  
When  
asynchronously placed in their shutdown states,  
specified by the PSSAC1:PSSAC0 and  
a shutdown occurs, the output pins are  
PSSBD1:PSSBD0 bits (ECCPAS3:ECCPAS0). Each  
pin pair (P1A/P1C and P1B/P1D) may be set to drive  
high, drive low or be tri-stated (not driving). The  
ECCPASE bit (ECCPAS<7>) is also set to hold the  
Enhanced PWM outputs in their shutdown states.  
In the Half-Bridge Output mode, a digitally program-  
mable dead-band delay is available to avoid shoot-  
through current from destroying the bridge power  
switches. The delay occurs at the signal transition from  
the non-active state to the active state. See Figure 15-4  
for illustration. Bits PDC6:PDC0 of the PWM1CON  
register (Register 15-2) set the delay period in terms of  
microcontroller instruction cycles (TCY or 4 TOSC).  
These bits are not available on 28-pin devices as the  
standard CCP module does not support half-bridge  
operation.  
The ECCPASE bit is set by hardware when a shutdown  
event occurs. If automatic restarts are not enabled, the  
ECCPASE bit is cleared by firmware when the cause of  
the shutdown clears. If automatic restarts are enabled,  
the ECCPASE bit is automatically cleared when the  
cause of the auto-shutdown has cleared.  
If the ECCPASE bit is set when a PWM period begins,  
the PWM outputs remain in their shutdown state for that  
entire PWM period. When the ECCPASE bit is cleared,  
the PWM outputs will return to normal operation at the  
beginning of the next PWM period.  
15.4.7  
ENHANCED PWM AUTO-SHUTDOWN  
Note:  
Writing to the ECCPASE bit is disabled  
while a shutdown condition is active.  
When the CCP1 is programmed for any of the Enhanced  
PWM modes, the active output pins may be configured  
for auto-shutdown. Auto-shutdown immediately places  
the Enhanced PWM output pins into a defined shutdown  
state when a shutdown event occurs.

15.4.7.1  
Auto-Shutdown and  
Automatic Restart  
15.4.8  
START-UP CONSIDERATIONS  
When the ECCP module is used in the PWM mode, the  
application hardware must use the proper external pull-  
up and/or pull-down resistors on the PWM output pins.  
When the microcontroller is released from Reset, all of  
the I/O pins are in the high-impedance state. The external  
circuits must keep the power switch devices in the off  
state until the microcontroller drives the I/O pins with the  
proper signal levels, or activates the PWM output(s).  
The auto-shutdown feature can be configured to allow  
automatic restarts of the module following a shutdown  
event. This is enabled by setting the PRSEN bit of the  
PWM1CON register (PWM1CON<7>).  
In Shutdown mode with PRSEN = 1(Figure 15-10), the  
ECCPASE bit will remain set for as long as the cause  
of the shutdown continues. When the shutdown condi-  
tion clears, the ECCP1ASE bit is cleared. If PRSEN = 0  
(Figure 15-11), once a shutdown condition occurs, the  
ECCPASE bit will remain set until it is cleared by firm-  
ware. Once ECCPASE is cleared, the Enhanced PWM  
will resume at the beginning of the next PWM period.  
The CCP1M1:CCP1M0 bits (CCP1CON<1:0>) allow  
the user to choose whether the PWM output signals are  
active-high or active-low for each pair of PWM output  
pins (P1A/P1C and P1B/P1D). The PWM output  
polarities must be selected before the PWM pins are  
configured as outputs. Changing the polarity configura-  
tion while the PWM pins are configured as outputs is  
not recommended, since it may result in damage to the  
application circuits.  
Note:  
Writing to the ECCPASE bit is disabled  
while a shutdown condition is active.  
Independent of the PRSEN bit setting, if the auto-  
shutdown source is one of the comparators, the  
shutdown condition is a level. The ECCPASE bit  
cannot be cleared as long as the cause of the shutdown  
persists.  
The P1A, P1B, P1C and P1D output latches may not be  
in the proper states when the PWM module is initialized.  
Enabling the PWM pins for output at the same time as  
the ECCP module may cause damage to the applica-  
tion circuit. The ECCP module must be enabled in the  
proper output mode and complete a full PWM cycle  
before configuring the PWM pins as outputs. The com-  
pletion of a full PWM cycle is indicated by the TMR2IF  
bit being set as the second PWM period begins.  
The Auto-Shutdown mode can be forced by writing a ‘1’  
to the ECCPASE bit.

the ECCP module for PWM operation:  
In Sleep mode, all clock sources are disabled. Timer2  
will not increment and the state of the module will not  
change. If the ECCP pin is driving a value, it will  
continue to drive that value. When the device wakes  
up, it will continue from this state. If Two-Speed Start-  
ups are enabled, the initial start-up frequency from  
INTOSC and the postscaler may not be stable  
immediately.  
1. Configure the PWM pins, P1A and P1B (and  
P1C and P1D, if used), as inputs by setting the  
corresponding TRIS bits.  
2. Set the PWM period by loading the PR2 register.  
3. If auto-shutdown is required:  
• Disable auto-shutdown (ECCP1AS = 0)  
• Configure source (FLT0, Comparator 1 or  
Comparator 2)  
In PRI_IDLE mode, the primary clock will continue to  
clock the ECCP module without change. In all other  
power-managed modes, the selected power-managed  
mode clock will clock Timer2. Other power-managed  
mode clocks will most likely be different than the  
primary clock frequency.  
• Wait for non-shutdown condition  
4. Configure the ECCP module for the desired  
PWM mode and configuration by loading the  
CCP1CON register with the appropriate values:  
• Select one of the available output  
configurations and direction with the  
P1M1:P1M0 bits.  
15.4.10.1 Operation with Fail-Safe  
Clock Monitor  
• Select the polarities of the PWM output  
signals with the CCP1M3:CCP1M0 bits.  
If the Fail-Safe Clock Monitor is enabled, a clock failure  
will force the device into the power-managed RC_RUN  
mode and the OSCFIF bit (PIR2<7>) will be set. The  
ECCP will then be clocked from the internal oscillator  
clock source, which may have a different clock  
frequency than the primary clock.  
5. Set the PWM duty cycle by loading the CCPR1L  
register and CCP1CON<5:4> bits.  
6. For Half-Bridge Output mode, set the dead-  
band delay by loading ECCPDEL<6:0> with the  
appropriate value.  
See the previous section for additional details.  
7. If auto-shutdown operation is required, load the  
ECCP1AS register:  
15.4.11 EFFECTS OF A RESET  
• Select the auto-shutdown sources using the  
ECCPAS2:ECCPAS0 bits.  
Both Power-on Reset and subsequent Resets will force  
all ports to Input mode and the CCP registers to their  
Reset states.  
• Select the shutdown states of the PWM  
output pins using the PSSAC1:PSSAC0 and  
PSSBD1:PSSBD0 bits.  
This forces the Enhanced CCP module to reset to a  
state compatible with the standard CCP module.  
• Set the ECCPASE bit (ECCPAS<7>).  
• Configure the comparators using the CMCON  
register.  
• Configure the comparator inputs as analog  
inputs.  
8. If auto-restart operation is required, set the  
PRSEN bit (ECCPDEL<7>).  
9. Configure and start TMR2:  
• Clear the TMR2 interrupt flag bit by clearing  
the TMR2IF bit (PIR1<1>).  
• Set the TMR2 prescale value by loading the  
T2CKPS bits (T2CON<1:0>).  
• Enable Timer2 by setting the TMR2ON bit  
(T2CON<2>).  
10. Enable PWM outputs after a new PWM cycle  
has started:  
• Wait until TMRn overflows (TMRnIF bit is set).  
• Enable the CCP1/P1A, P1B, P1C and/or P1D  
pin outputs by clearing the respective TRIS  
bits.  
• Clear the ECCPASE bit (ECCPAS<7>).

16.3 SPI Mode  
16.0 MASTER SYNCHRONOUS  
SERIAL PORT (MSSP)  
MODULE  
The SPI mode allows 8 bits of data to be synchronously  
transmitted and received simultaneously. All four SPI  
modes are supported. To accomplish communication,  
typically three pins are used:  
16.1 MSSP Module Overview  
• Serial Data Out (SDO) – RC5/SDO  
• Serial Data In (SDI) – RC4/SDI/SDA  
• Serial Clock (SCK) – RC3/SCK/SCL  
The Master Synchronous Serial Port (MSSP) module is  
a serial interface, useful for communicating with other  
peripheral or microcontroller devices. These peripheral  
devices may be serial EEPROMs, shift registers,  
display drivers, A/D converters, etc. The MSSP module  
can operate in one of two modes:  
Additionally, a fourth pin may be used when in a Slave  
mode of operation:  
• Slave Select (SS) – RA5/SS  
• Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI)  
• Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C)  
- Full Master mode  
Figure 16-1 shows the block diagram of the MSSP  
module when operating in SPI mode.  
- Slave mode (with general address call)  
The I2C interface supports the following modes in  
hardware:

16.2 Control Registers  
RC4/SDI/SDA  
RC5/SDO  
The MSSP module has three associated registers.  
These include a status register (SSPSTAT) and two  
control registers (SSPCON1 and SSPCON2). The use  
of these registers and their individual Configuration bits  
differ significantly depending on whether the MSSP  
module is operated in SPI or I2C mode.

SSPSR is the shift register used for shifting data in or  
out. SSPBUF is the buffer register to which data bytes  
are written to or read from.  
16.3.1  
REGISTERS  
The MSSP module has four registers for SPI mode  
operation. These are:  
In receive operations, SSPSR and SSPBUF together  
create a double-buffered receiver. When SSPSR  
receives a complete byte, it is transferred to SSPBUF  
and the SSPIF interrupt is set.  
• MSSP Control Register 1 (SSPCON1)  
• MSSP Status Register (SSPSTAT)  
• Serial Receive/Transmit Buffer Register  
(SSPBUF)  
During transmission, the SSPBUF is not double-  
buffered. A write to SSPBUF will write to both SSPBUF  
and SSPSR.  
• MSSP Shift Register (SSPSR) – Not directly  
accessible  
SSPCON1 and SSPSTAT are the control and status  
registers in SPI mode operation. The SSPCON1  
register is readable and writable. The lower 6 bits of  
the SSPSTAT are read-only. The upper two bits of the  
SSPSTAT are read/write.

reading the data that was just received. Any write to the  
SSPBUF register during transmission/reception of data  
will be ignored and the write collision detect bit, WCOL  
(SSPCON1<7>), will be set. User software must clear  
the WCOL bit so that it can be determined if the follow-  
ing write(s) to the SSPBUF register completed  
successfully.  
16.3.2  
OPERATION  
When initializing SPI operation, several options need to  
be specified. This is done by programming the  
appropriate control bits (SSPCON1<5:0> and  
SSPSTAT<7:6>). These control bits allow the following  
to be specified:  
• Master mode (SCK is the clock output)  
• Slave mode (SCK is the clock input)  
• Clock Polarity (Idle state of SCK)  
When the application software is expecting to receive  
valid data, the SSPBUF should be read before the next  
byte of data to transfer is written to the SSPBUF. The  
Buffer Full bit, BF (SSPSTAT<0>), indicates when  
SSPBUF has been loaded with the received data  
(transmission is complete). When the SSPBUF is read,  
the BF bit is cleared. This data may be irrelevant if the  
SPI interface is only a transmitter. Generally, the MSSP  
interrupt is used to determine when the transmission/  
reception has completed. The SSPBUF must be read  
and/or written. If the interrupt method is not going to be  
used, then software polling can be done to ensure that  
a write collision does not occur. Example 16-1 shows  
the loading of the SSPBUF (SSPSR) for data  
transmission.  
• Data Input Sample Phase (middle or end of data  
output time)  
• Clock Edge (output data on rising/falling edge of  
SCK)  
• Clock Rate (Master mode only)  
• Slave Select mode (Slave mode only)  
The MSSP consists of a Transmit/Receive Shift regis-  
ter (SSPSR) and a Buffer register (SSPBUF). The  
SSPSR shifts the data in and out of the device, MSb  
first. The SSPBUF holds the data that was written to the  
SSPSR until the received data is ready. Once the 8 bits  
of data have been received, that byte is moved to the  
SSPBUF register. Then, the Buffer Full detect bit, BF  
(SSPSTAT<0>) and the interrupt flag bit, SSPIF, are  
set. This double-buffering of the received data  
(SSPBUF) allows the next byte to start reception before  
The SSPSR is not directly readable or writable and can  
only be accessed by addressing the SSPBUF register.  
Additionally, the MSSP Status register (SSPSTAT)  
indicates the various status conditions.

16.3.3  
ENABLING SPI I/O  
16.3.4  
TYPICAL CONNECTION  
To enable the serial port, SSP Enable bit, SSPEN  
(SSPCON1<5>), must be set. To reset or reconfigure  
SPI mode, clear the SSPEN bit, reinitialize the  
SSPCON registers and then set the SSPEN bit. This  
configures the SDI, SDO, SCK and SS pins as serial  
port pins. For the pins to behave as the serial port func-  
tion, some must have their data direction bits (in the  
TRIS register) appropriately programmed as follows:  
Figure 16-2 shows a typical connection between two  
microcontrollers. The master controller (Processor 1)  
initiates the data transfer by sending the SCK signal.  
Data is shifted out of both shift registers on their pro-  
grammed clock edge and latched on the opposite edge  
of the clock. Both processors should be programmed to  
the same Clock Polarity (CKP), then both controllers  
would send and receive data at the same time.  
Whether the data is meaningful (or dummy data)  
depends on the application software. This leads to  
three scenarios for data transmission:  
• SDI is automatically controlled by the SPI module  
• SDO must have TRISC<5> bit cleared  
• SCK (Master mode) must have TRISC<3> bit  
cleared  
• Master sends data – Slave sends dummy data  
• Master sends data – Slave sends data  
• SCK (Slave mode) must have TRISC<3> bit set  
• SS must have TRISA<5> bit set  
• Master sends dummy data – Slave sends data  
Any serial port function that is not desired may be  
overridden by programming the corresponding Data  
Direction (TRIS) register to the opposite value.

The clock polarity is selected by appropriately  
programming the CKP bit (SSPCON1<4>). This then,  
would give waveforms for SPI communication as  
shown in Figure 16-3, Figure 16-5 and Figure 16-6,  
where the MSB is transmitted first. In Master mode, the  
SPI clock rate (bit rate) is user programmable to be one  
of the following:  
16.3.5  
MASTER MODE  
The master can initiate the data transfer at any time  
because it controls the SCK. The master determines  
when the slave (Processor 2, Figure 16-2) is to  
broadcast data by the software protocol.  
In Master mode, the data is transmitted/received as  
soon as the SSPBUF register is written to. If the SPI  
interface is only going to receive, the SDO output could  
be disabled (programmed as an input). The SSPSR  
register will continue to shift in the signal present on the  
SDI pin at the programmed clock rate. As each byte is  
received, it will be loaded into the SSPBUF register as  
if a normal received byte (interrupts and status bits  
appropriately set). This could be useful in receiver  
applications as a “Line Activity Monitor” mode.  
• FOSC/4 (or TCY)  
• FOSC/16 (or 4 • TCY)  
• FOSC/64 (or 16 • TCY)  
• Timer2 output/2  
This allows a maximum data rate (at 40 MHz) of  
10.00 Mbps.  
Figure 16-3 shows the waveforms for Master mode.  
When the CKE bit is set, the SDO data is valid before  
there is a clock edge on SCK. The change of the input  
sample is shown based on the state of the SMP bit. The  
time when the SSPBUF is loaded with the received  
data is shown.

the SDO pin is driven. When the SS pin goes high, the  
SDO pin is no longer driven, even if in the middle of a  
transmitted byte and becomes a floating output.  
External pull-up/pull-down resistors may be desirable  
depending on the application.  
16.3.6  
SLAVE MODE  
In Slave mode, the data is transmitted and received as  
the external clock pulses appear on SCK. When the  
last bit is latched, the SSPIF interrupt flag bit is set.  
Before enabling the module in SPI Slave mode, the  
clock line must match the proper Idle state. The clock  
line can be observed by reading the SCK pin. The Idle  
state is determined by the CKP bit (SSPCON1<4>).  
Note 1: When the SPI operation is in Slave mode  
with  
SS  
pin  
control  
enabled  
(SSPCON<3:0> = 0100), the SPI module  
will reset if the SS pin is set to VDD.  
While in Slave mode, the external clock is supplied by  
the external clock source on the SCK pin. This external  
clock must meet the minimum high and low times as  
specified in the electrical specifications.  
2: If the SPI operation is used in Slave mode  
with CKE set, then the SS pin control  
must be enabled.  
When the SPI module resets, the bit counter is forced  
to ‘0’. This can be done by either forcing the SS pin to  
a high level or clearing the SSPEN bit.  
While in Sleep mode, the slave can transmit/receive  
data. When a byte is received, the device will wake-up  
from Sleep.  
To emulate two-wire communication, the SDO pin can  
be connected to the SDI pin. When the SPI module  
needs to operate as a receiver, the SDO pin can be  
configured as an input. This disables transmissions  
from the SDO. The SDI can always be left as an input  
(SDI function) since it cannot create a bus conflict.  
16.3.7  
SLAVE SELECT  
SYNCHRONIZATION  
The SS pin allows a Synchronous Slave mode. The  
SPI operation must be in Slave mode with SS pin  
control enabled (SSPCON1<3:0> = 04h). When the SS  
pin is low, transmission and reception are enabled and

OPERATION IN POWER-MANAGED  
MODES  
16.3.9  
EFFECTS OF A RESET  
A Reset disables the MSSP module and terminates the  
current transfer.  
In SPI Master mode, module clocks may be operating  
at a different speed than when in full power mode. In  
the case of the Sleep mode, all clocks are halted.  
16.3.10 BUS MODE COMPATIBILITY  
Table 16-1 shows the compatibility between the  
standard SPI modes and the states of the CKP and  
CKE control bits.  
In Idle modes, a clock is provided to the peripherals.  
That clock should be from the primary clock source, the  
secondary clock (Timer1 oscillator at 32.768 kHz) or  
the INTOSC source. See Section 2.7 “Clock Sources  
and Oscillator Switching” for additional information.  
TABLE 16-1: SPI BUS MODES

In most cases, the speed that the master clocks SPI  
data is not important; however, this should be  
evaluated for each system.

If MSSP interrupts are enabled, they can wake the  
controller from Sleep mode, or one of the Idle modes,  
when the master completes sending data. If an exit  
from Sleep or Idle mode is not desired, MSSP  
interrupts should be disabled.  
There is also an SMP bit which controls when the data  
is sampled.  
If the Sleep mode is selected, all module clocks are  
halted and the transmission/reception will remain in  
that state until the devices wakes. After the device  
returns to Run mode, the module will resume  
transmitting and receiving data.  
In SPI Slave mode, the SPI Transmit/Receive Shift  
register operates asynchronously to the device. This  
allows the device to be placed in any power-managed  
mode and data to be shifted into the SPI Transmit/  
Receive Shift register. When all 8 bits have been  
received, the MSSP interrupt flag bit will be set and if  
enabled, will wake the device.

REGISTERS  
16.4 I C Mode  
The MSSP module has six registers for I2C operation.  
These are:  
The MSSP module in I2C mode fully implements all  
master and slave functions (including general call  
support) and provides interrupts on Start and Stop bits  
in hardware to determine a free bus (multi-master  
function). The MSSP module implements the standard  
mode specifications, as well as 7-bit and 10-bit  
addressing.  
• MSSP Control Register 1 (SSPCON1)  
• MSSP Control Register 2 (SSPCON2)  
• MSSP Status Register (SSPSTAT)  
• Serial Receive/Transmit Buffer Register  
(SSPBUF)  
Two pins are used for data transfer:  
• MSSP Shift Register (SSPSR) – Not directly  
accessible  
• Serial clock (SCL) – RC3/SCK/SCL  
• Serial data (SDA) – RC4/SDI/SDA  
• MSSP Address Register (SSPADD)  
The user must configure these pins as inputs or outputs  
through the TRISC<4:3> bits.  
SSPCON1, SSPCON2 and SSPSTAT are the control  
and status registers in I2C mode operation. The  
SSPCON1 and SSPCON2 registers are readable and  
writable. The lower 6 bits of the SSPSTAT are read-only.  
The upper two bits of the SSPSTAT are read/write.  
FIGURE 16-7:

SSPSR is the shift register used for shifting data in or

16.4.2  
OPERATION  
16.4.3.1  
Addressing  
The MSSP module functions are enabled by setting  
MSSP Enable bit, SSPEN (SSPCON<5>).  
The SSPCON1 register allows control of the I2C  
operation. Four mode selection bits (SSPCON<3:0>)  
allow one of the following I2C modes to be selected:  
• I2C Master mode clock  
• I2C Slave mode (7-bit address)  
• I2C Slave mode (10-bit address)  
Once the MSSP module has been enabled, it waits for  
a Start condition to occur. Following the Start condition,  
the 8-bits are shifted into the SSPSR register. All  
incoming bits are sampled with the rising edge of the  
clock (SCL) line. The value of register SSPSR<7:1> is  
compared to the value of the SSPADD register. The  
address is compared on the falling edge of the eighth  
clock (SCL) pulse. If the addresses match and the BF  
and SSPOV bits are clear, the following events occur:  
• I2C Slave mode (7-bit address) with Start and  
Stop bit interrupts enabled  
• I2C Slave mode (10-bit address) with Start and  
Stop bit interrupts enabled  
• I2C Firmware Controlled Master mode, slave is  
Idle  
Selection of any I2C mode with the SSPEN bit set,  
forces the SCL and SDA pins to be open-drain,  
provided these pins are programmed to inputs by  
setting the appropriate TRISC bits. To ensure proper  
operation of the module, pull-up resistors must be  
provided externally to the SCL and SDA pins.  
1. The SSPSR register value is loaded into the  
SSPBUF register.  
2. The Buffer Full bit, BF, is set.  
3. An ACK pulse is generated.  
4. MSSP Interrupt Flag bit, SSPIF (PIR1<3>), is  
set (interrupt is generated, if enabled) on the  
falling edge of the ninth SCL pulse.  
In 10-Bit Address mode, two address bytes need to be  
received by the slave. The five Most Significant bits  
(MSbs) of the first address byte specify if this is a 10-bit  
address. Bit R/W (SSPSTAT<2>) must specify a write so  
the slave device will receive the second address byte.  
For a 10-bit address, the first byte would equal ‘11110  
A9 A8 0’, where ‘A9’ and ‘A8’ are the two MSbs of the  
address. The sequence of events for 10-bit address is as  
follows, with steps 7 through 9 for the slave-transmitter:  
16.4.3  
SLAVE MODE  
In Slave mode, the SCL and SDA pins must be config-  
ured as inputs (TRISC<4:3> set). The MSSP module  
will override the input state with the output data when  
required (slave-transmitter).  
The I2C Slave mode hardware will always generate an  
interrupt on an address match. Through the mode  
select bits, the user can also choose to interrupt on  
Start and Stop bits  
1. Receive first (high) byte of address (bits SSPIF,  
BF and UA (SSPSTAT<1>) are set).  
2. Update the SSPADD register with second (low)  
byte of address (clears bit UA and releases the  
SCL line).  
3. Read the SSPBUF register (clears bit BF) and  
clear flag bit SSPIF.  
When an address is matched, or the data transfer after  
an address match is received, the hardware automati-  
cally will generate the Acknowledge (ACK) pulse and  
load the SSPBUF register with the received value  
currently in the SSPSR register.  
4. Receive second (low) byte of address (bits  
SSPIF, BF and UA are set).  
5. Update the SSPADD register with the first (high)  
byte of address. If match releases SCL line, this  
will clear bit UA.  
Any combination of the following conditions will cause  
the MSSP module not to give this ACK pulse:  
6. Read the SSPBUF register (clears bit BF) and  
clear flag bit SSPIF.  
• The Buffer Full bit, BF (SSPSTAT<0>), was set  
before the transfer was received.  
7. Receive Repeated Start condition.  
• The overflow bit, SSPOV (SSPCON<6>), was set  
before the transfer was received.  
8. Receive first (high) byte of address (bits SSPIF  
and BF are set).  
9. Read the SSPBUF register (clears bit BF) and  
clear flag bit SSPIF.  
In this case, the SSPSR register value is not loaded  
into the SSPBUF, but bit SSPIF (PIR1<3>) is set. The  
BF bit is cleared by reading the SSPBUF register, while  
bit SSPOV is cleared through software.  
The SCL clock input must have a minimum high and  
low for proper operation. The high and low times of the  
I2C specification, as well as the requirement of the  
MSSP module, are shown in timing parameter 100 and  
parameter 101.

16.4.3.2  
Reception  
16.4.3.3  
Transmission  
When the R/W bit of the address byte is clear and an  
address match occurs, the R/W bit of the SSPSTAT  
register is cleared. The received address is loaded into  
the SSPBUF register and the SDA line is held low  
(ACK).  
When the R/W bit of the incoming address byte is set  
and an address match occurs, the R/W bit of the  
SSPSTAT register is set. The received address is  
loaded into the SSPBUF register. The ACK pulse will  
be sent on the ninth bit and pin RC3/SCK/SCL is held  
low regardless of SEN (see Section 16.4.4 “Clock  
Stretching” for more detail). By stretching the clock,  
the master will be unable to assert another clock pulse  
until the slave is done preparing the transmit data. The  
transmit data must be loaded into the SSPBUF register  
which also loads the SSPSR register. Then pin RC3/  
SCK/SCL should be enabled by setting bit CKP  
(SSPCON1<4>). The eight data bits are shifted out on  
the falling edge of the SCL input. This ensures that the  
SDA signal is valid during the SCL high time  
(Figure 16-9).  
When the address byte overflow condition exists, then  
the no Acknowledge (ACK) pulse is given. An overflow  
condition is defined as either bit BF (SSPSTAT<0>) is  
set, or bit SSPOV (SSPCON1<6>) is set.  
An MSSP interrupt is generated for each data transfer  
byte. Flag bit, SSPIF (PIR1<3>), must be cleared in  
software. The SSPSTAT register is used to determine  
the status of the byte.  
If SEN is enabled (SSPCON2<0> = 1), RC3/SCK/SCL  
will be held low (clock stretch) following each data  
transfer. The clock must be released by setting bit CKP  
(SSPCON<4>). See Section 16.4.4 “Clock Stretching”  
for more detail.  
The ACK pulse from the master-receiver is latched on  
the rising edge of the ninth SCL input pulse. If the SDA  
line is high (not ACK), then the data transfer is com-  
plete. In this case, when the ACK is latched by the  
slave, the slave logic is reset (resets SSPSTAT regis-  
ter) and the slave monitors for another occurrence of  
the Start bit. If the SDA line was low (ACK), the next  
transmit data must be loaded into the SSPBUF register.  
Again, pin RC3/SCK/SCL must be enabled by setting  
bit CKP.  
An MSSP interrupt is generated for each data transfer  
byte. The SSPIF bit must be cleared in software and  
the SSPSTAT register is used to determine the status  
of the byte. The SSPIF bit is set on the falling edge of  
the ninth clock pulse.

CLOCK STRETCHING  
16.4.4.3  
Clock Stretching for 7-Bit Slave  
Transmit Mode  
Both 7-bit and 10-Bit Slave modes implement  
automatic clock stretching during a transmit sequence.  
7-Bit Slave Transmit mode implements clock stretch-  
ing by clearing the CKP bit after the falling edge of the  
ninth clock if the BF bit is clear. This occurs regardless  
of the state of the SEN bit.  
The SEN bit (SSPCON2<0>) allows clock stretching to  
be enabled during receives. Setting SEN will cause  
the SCL pin to be held low at the end of each data  
receive sequence.  
The user’s ISR must set the CKP bit before transmis-  
sion is allowed to continue. By holding the SCL line  
low, the user has time to service the ISR and load the  
contents of the SSPBUF before the master device can  
initiate another transmit sequence (see Figure 16-9).  
16.4.4.1  
Clock Stretching for 7-Bit Slave  
Receive Mode (SEN = 1)  
In 7-Bit Slave Receive mode, on the falling edge of the  
ninth clock at the end of the ACK sequence if the BF  
bit is set, the CKP bit in the SSPCON1 register is  
automatically cleared, forcing the SCL output to be  
held low. The CKP being cleared to ‘0’ will assert the  
SCL line low. The CKP bit must be set in the user’s  
ISR before reception is allowed to continue. By holding  
the SCL line low, the user has time to service the ISR  
and read the contents of the SSPBUF before the  
master device can initiate another receive sequence.  
This will prevent buffer overruns from occurring (see  
Figure 16-13).  
Note 1: If the user loads the contents of SSPBUF,  
setting the BF bit before the falling edge of  
the ninth clock, the CKP bit will not be  
cleared and clock stretching will not occur.  
2: The CKP bit can be set in software  
regardless of the state of the BF bit.  
16.4.4.4  
Clock Stretching for 10-Bit Slave  
Transmit Mode  
In 10-Bit Slave Transmit mode, clock stretching is  
controlled during the first two address sequences by  
the state of the UA bit, just as it is in 10-Bit Slave  
Receive mode. The first two addresses are followed  
by a third address sequence which contains the high-  
order bits of the 10-bit address and the R/W bit set to  
1’. After the third address sequence is performed, the  
UA bit is not set, the module is now configured in  
Transmit mode and clock stretching is controlled by  
the BF flag as in 7-Bit Slave Transmit mode (see  
Figure 16-11).  
Note 1: If the user reads the contents of the  
SSPBUF before the falling edge of the  
ninth clock, thus clearing the BF bit, the  
CKP bit will not be cleared and clock  
stretching will not occur.  
2: The CKP bit can be set in software  
regardless of the state of the BF bit. The  
user should be careful to clear the BF bit  
in the ISR before the next receive  
sequence in order to prevent an overflow  
condition.  
16.4.4.2  
Clock Stretching for 10-Bit Slave  
Receive Mode (SEN = 1)  
In 10-Bit Slave Receive mode during the address  
sequence, clock stretching automatically takes place  
but CKP is not cleared. During this time, if the UA bit is  
set after the ninth clock, clock stretching is initiated.  
The UA bit is set after receiving the upper byte of the  
10-bit address and following the receive of the second  
byte of the 10-bit address with the R/W bit cleared to  
0’. The release of the clock line occurs upon updating  
SSPADD. Clock stretching will occur on each data  
receive sequence as described in 7-Bit Slave mode.  
Note:  
If the user polls the UA bit and clears it by  
updating the SSPADD register before the  
falling edge of the ninth clock occurs and if  
the user hasn’t cleared the BF bit by read-  
ing the SSPBUF register before that time,  
then the CKP bit will still NOT be asserted  
low. Clock stretching on the basis of the  
state of the BF bit only occurs during a  
data sequence, not an address sequence.

already asserted the SCL line. The SCL output will  
remain low until the CKP bit is set and all other  
devices on the I2C bus have deasserted SCL. This  
ensures that a write to the CKP bit will not violate the  
minimum high time requirement for SCL (see  
Figure 16-12).  
16.4.4.5  
Clock Synchronization and  
the CKP bit  
When the CKP bit is cleared, the SCL output is forced  
to ‘0’. However, clearing the CKP bit will not assert the  
SCL output low until the SCL output is already  
sampled low. Therefore, the CKP bit will not assert the  
SCL line until an external I2C master device has

If the general call address matches, the SSPSR is  
transferred to the SSPBUF, the BF flag bit is set (eighth  
bit) and on the falling edge of the ninth bit (ACK bit), the  
SSPIF interrupt flag bit is set.  
16.4.5  
GENERAL CALL ADDRESS  
SUPPORT  
The addressing procedure for the I2C bus is such that  
the first byte after the Start condition usually deter-  
mines which device will be the slave addressed by the  
master. The exception is the general call address which  
can address all devices. When this address is used, all  
devices should, in theory, respond with an  
Acknowledge.  
When the interrupt is serviced, the source for the  
interrupt can be checked by reading the contents of the  
SSPBUF. The value can be used to determine if the  
address was device specific or a general call address.  
In 10-Bit Address mode, the SSPADD is required to be  
updated for the second half of the address to match  
and the UA bit is set (SSPSTAT<1>). If the general call  
address is sampled when the GCEN bit is set, while the  
slave is configured in 10-Bit Address mode, then the  
second half of the address is not necessary, the UA bit  
will not be set and the slave will begin receiving data  
after the Acknowledge (Figure 16-15).  
The general call address is one of eight addresses  
reserved for specific purposes by the I2C protocol. It  
consists of all ‘0’s with R/W = 0.  
The general call address is recognized when the  
General Call Enable bit (GCEN) is enabled  
(SSPCON2<7> set). Following a Start bit detect, 8 bits  
are shifted into the SSPSR and the address is  
compared against the SSPADD. It is also compared to  
the general call address and fixed in hardware.

MASTER MODE  
Note:  
The MSSP module, when configured in  
I2C Master mode, does not allow queueing  
of events. For instance, the user is not  
allowed to initiate a Start condition and  
immediately write the SSPBUF register to  
initiate transmission before the Start condi-  
tion is complete. In this case, the SSPBUF  
will not be written to and the WCOL bit will  
be set, indicating that a write to the  
SSPBUF did not occur.  
Master mode is enabled by setting and clearing the  
appropriate SSPM bits in SSPCON1 and by setting the  
SSPEN bit. In Master mode, the SCL and SDA lines  
are manipulated by the MSSP hardware.  
Master mode of operation is supported by interrupt  
generation on the detection of the Start and Stop  
conditions. The Stop (P) and Start (S) bits are cleared  
from a Reset or when the MSSP module is disabled.  
Control of the I2C bus may be taken when the P bit is  
set, or the bus is Idle, with both the S and P bits clear.  
The following events will cause the SSP Interrupt Flag  
bit, SSPIF, to be set (SSP interrupt, if enabled):  
In Firmware Controlled Master mode, user code  
conducts all I2C bus operations based on Start and  
Stop bit conditions.  
• Start condition  
• Stop condition  
Once Master mode is enabled, the user has six  
options.  
• Data transfer byte transmitted/received  
• Acknowledge transmit  
• Repeated Start  
1. Assert a Start condition on SDA and SCL.  
2. Assert a Repeated Start condition on SDA and  
SCL.  
3. Write to the SSPBUF register initiating  
transmission of data/address.  
4. Configure the I2C port to receive data.  
5. Generate an Acknowledge condition at the end  
of a received byte of data.  
6. Generate a Stop condition on SDA and SCL.

PIC18F2X1X/4X1X  
I2C Master Mode Operation  
A typical transmit sequence would go as follows:  
16.4.6.1  
1. The user generates a Start condition by setting  
the Start Enable bit, SEN (SSPCON2<0>).  
The master device generates all of the serial clock  
pulses and the Start and Stop conditions. A transfer is  
ended with a Stop condition or with a Repeated Start  
condition. Since the Repeated Start condition is also  
the beginning of the next serial transfer, the I2C bus will  
not be released.  
2. SSPIF is set. The MSSP module will wait the  
required start time before any other operation  
takes place.  
3. The user loads the SSPBUF with the slave  
address to transmit.  
In Master Transmitter mode, serial data is output  
through SDA, while SCL outputs the serial clock. The  
first byte transmitted contains the slave address of the  
receiving device (7 bits) and the Read/Write (R/W) bit.  
In this case, the R/W bit will be logic ‘0’. Serial data is  
transmitted 8 bits at a time. After each byte is transmit-  
ted, an Acknowledge bit is received. Start and Stop  
conditions are output to indicate the beginning and the  
end of a serial transfer.  
4. Address is shifted out the SDA pin until all 8 bits  
are transmitted.  
5. The MSSP module shifts in the ACK bit from the  
slave device and writes its value into the  
SSPCON2 register (SSPCON2<6>).  
6. The MSSP module generates an interrupt at the  
end of the ninth clock cycle by setting the SSPIF  
bit.  
In Master Receive mode, the first byte transmitted  
contains the slave address of the transmitting device  
(7 bits) and the R/W bit. In this case, the R/W bit will be  
logic ‘1’. Thus, the first byte transmitted is a 7-bit slave  
address followed by a ‘1’ to indicate the receive bit.  
Serial data is received via SDA, while SCL outputs the  
serial clock. Serial data is received 8 bits at a time. After  
each byte is received, an Acknowledge bit is transmit-  
ted. Start and Stop conditions indicate the beginning  
and end of transmission.  
7. The user loads the SSPBUF with eight bits of  
data.  
8. Data is shifted out the SDA pin until all 8 bits are  
transmitted.  
9. The MSSP module shifts in the ACK bit from the  
slave device and writes its value into the  
SSPCON2 register (SSPCON2<6>).  
10. The MSSP module generates an interrupt at the  
end of the ninth clock cycle by setting the SSPIF  
bit.  
The Baud Rate Generator used for the SPI mode oper-  
ation is used to set the SCL clock frequency for either  
100 kHz, 400 kHz or 1 MHz I2C operation. See  
Section 16.4.7 “Baud Rate” for more detail.  
11. The user generates a Stop condition by setting  
the Stop Enable bit, PEN (SSPCON2<2>).  
12. Interrupt is generated once the Stop condition is  
complete.

PIC18F2X1X/4X1X  
Once the given operation is complete (i.e., transmis-  
sion of the last data bit is followed by ACK), the internal  
clock will automatically stop counting and the SCL pin  
will remain in its last state.  
16.4.7  
BAUD RATE  
In I2C Master mode, the Baud Rate Generator (BRG)  
reload value is placed in the lower 7 bits of the  
SSPADD register (Figure 16-17). When a write occurs  
to SSPBUF, the Baud Rate Generator will automatically  
begin counting. The BRG counts down to ‘0’ and stops  
until another reload has taken place. The BRG count is  
decremented twice per instruction cycle (TCY) on the  
Q2 and Q4 clocks. In I2C Master mode, the BRG is  
reloaded automatically.  
Table 16-3 demonstrates clock rates based on  
instruction cycles and the BRG value loaded into  
SSPADD.

SCL pin is sampled high, the Baud Rate Generator is  
reloaded with the contents of SSPADD<6:0> and  
begins counting. This ensures that the SCL high time  
will always be at least one BRG rollover count in the  
event that the clock is held low by an external device  
(Figure 16-18).  
16.4.7.1  
Clock Arbitration  
Clock arbitration occurs when the master, during any  
receive, transmit or Repeated Start/Stop condition,  
deasserts the SCL pin (SCL allowed to float high).  
When the SCL pin is allowed to float high, the Baud  
Rate Generator (BRG) is suspended from counting

I2C MASTER MODE START  
CONDITION TIMING  
Note:  
If at the beginning of the Start condition,  
the SDA and SCL pins are already sam-  
pled low, or if during the Start condition, the  
SCL line is sampled low before the SDA  
line is driven low, a bus collision occurs,  
the Bus Collision Interrupt Flag, BCLIF, is  
set, the Start condition is aborted and the  
I2C module is reset into its Idle state.  
To initiate a Start condition, the user sets the Start  
Enable bit, SEN (SSPCON2<0>). If the SDA and SCL  
pins are sampled high, the Baud Rate Generator is  
reloaded with the contents of SSPADD<6:0> and starts  
its count. If SCL and SDA are both sampled high when  
the Baud Rate Generator times out (TBRG), the SDA  
pin is driven low. The action of the SDA being driven  
low while SCL is high is the Start condition and causes  
the S bit (SSPSTAT<3>) to be set. Following this, the  
Baud Rate Generator is reloaded with the contents of  
SSPADD<6:0> and resumes its count. When the Baud  
Rate Generator times out (TBRG), the SEN bit  
(SSPCON2<0>) will be automatically cleared by  
hardware; the Baud Rate Generator is suspended,  
leaving the SDA line held low and the Start condition is  
complete.  
16.4.8.1  
WCOL Status Flag  
If the user writes the SSPBUF when a Start sequence  
is in progress, the WCOL is set and the contents of the

Note:  
Because queueing of events is not  
allowed, writing to the lower 5 bits of  
SSPCON2 is disabled until the Start

I2C MASTER MODE REPEATED  
START CONDITION TIMING  
Note 1: If RSEN is programmed while any other  
event is in progress, it will not take effect.  
A Repeated Start condition occurs when the RSEN bit  
(SSPCON2<1>) is programmed high and the I2C logic  
module is in the Idle state. When the RSEN bit is set,  
the SCL pin is asserted low. When the SCL pin is sam-  
pled low, the Baud Rate Generator is loaded with the  
contents of SSPADD<5:0> and begins counting. The  
SDA pin is released (brought high) for one Baud Rate  
Generator count (TBRG). When the Baud Rate Genera-  
tor times out, if SDA is sampled high, the SCL pin will  
be deasserted (brought high). When SCL is sampled  
high, the Baud Rate Generator is reloaded with the  
contents of SSPADD<6:0> and begins counting. SDA  
and SCL must be sampled high for one TBRG. This  
action is then followed by assertion of the SDA pin  
(SDA = 0) for one TBRG while SCL is high. Following  
this, the RSEN bit (SSPCON2<1>) will be automatically  
cleared and the Baud Rate Generator will not be  
reloaded, leaving the SDA pin held low. As soon as a  
Start condition is detected on the SDA and SCL pins,  
the S bit (SSPSTAT<3>) will be set. The SSPIF bit will  
not be set until the Baud Rate Generator has timed out.  
2: A bus collision during the Repeated Start  
condition occurs if:  
• SDA is sampled low when SCL goes  
from low-to-high.  
• SCL goes low before SDA is  
asserted low. This may indicate that  
another master is attempting to  
transmit a data ‘1’.  
Immediately following the SSPIF bit getting set, the user  
may write the SSPBUF with the 7-bit address in 7-Bit  
Address mode or the default first address in 10-Bit  
Address mode. After the first eight bits are transmitted  
and an ACK is received, the user may then transmit an  
additional eight bits of address (10-Bit Address mode) or  
eight bits of data (7-Bit Address mode).  
16.4.9.1  
WCOL Status Flag  
If the user writes the SSPBUF when a Repeated Start

allowed, writing of the lower 5 bits of

16.4.10 I2C MASTER MODE  
TRANSMISSION  
16.4.10.3 ACKSTAT Status Flag  
In Transmit mode, the ACKSTAT bit (SSPCON2<6>) is  
cleared when the slave has sent an Acknowledge  
(ACK = 0) and is set when the slave does not Acknowl-  
edge (ACK = 1). A slave sends an Acknowledge when  
it has recognized its address (including a general call),  
or when the slave has properly received its data.  
Transmission of a data byte, a 7-bit address or the  
other half of a 10-bit address is accomplished by simply  
writing a value to the SSPBUF register. This action will  
set the Buffer Full flag bit, BF and allow the Baud Rate  
Generator to begin counting and start the next trans-  
mission. Each bit of address/data will be shifted out  
onto the SDA pin after the falling edge of SCL is  
asserted (see data hold time specification  
parameter 106). SCL is held low for one Baud Rate  
Generator rollover count (TBRG). Data should be valid  
before SCL is released high (see data setup time spec-  
ification parameter 107). When the SCL pin is released  
high, it is held that way for TBRG. The data on the SDA  
pin must remain stable for that duration and some hold  
time after the next falling edge of SCL. After the eighth  
bit is shifted out (the falling edge of the eighth clock),  
the BF flag is cleared and the master releases SDA.  
This allows the slave device being addressed to  
respond with an ACK bit during the ninth bit time if an  
address match occurred, or if data was received  
properly. The status of ACK is written into the ACKDT  
bit on the falling edge of the ninth clock. If the master  
receives an Acknowledge, the Acknowledge Status bit,  
ACKSTAT, is cleared. If not, the bit is set. After the ninth  
clock, the SSPIF bit is set and the master clock (Baud  
Rate Generator) is suspended until the next data byte  
is loaded into the SSPBUF, leaving SCL low and SDA  
unchanged (Figure 16-21).  
16.4.11 I2C MASTER MODE RECEPTION  
Master mode reception is enabled by programming the  
Receive Enable bit, RCEN (SSPCON2<3>).  
Note:  
The MSSP module must be in an Idle state  
before the RCEN bit is set or the RCEN bit  
will be disregarded.  
The Baud Rate Generator begins counting and on each  
rollover, the state of the SCL pin changes (high-to-low/  
low-to-high) and data is shifted into the SSPSR. After  
the falling edge of the eighth clock, the receive enable  
flag is automatically cleared, the contents of the  
SSPSR are loaded into the SSPBUF, the BF flag bit is  
set, the SSPIF flag bit is set and the Baud Rate Gener-  
ator is suspended from counting, holding SCL low. The  
MSSP is now in Idle state awaiting the next command.  
When the buffer is read by the CPU, the BF flag bit is  
automatically cleared. The user can then send an  
Acknowledge bit at the end of reception by setting the  
Acknowledge Sequence Enable bit, ACKEN  
(SSPCON2<4>).  
16.4.11.1 BF Status Flag  
After the write to the SSPBUF, each bit of the address  
will be shifted out on the falling edge of SCL until all  
seven address bits and the R/W bit are completed. On  
the falling edge of the eighth clock, the master will  
deassert the SDA pin, allowing the slave to respond  
with an Acknowledge. On the falling edge of the ninth  
clock, the master will sample the SDA pin to see if the  
address was recognized by a slave. The status of the  
ACK bit is loaded into the ACKSTAT status bit  
(SSPCON2<6>). Following the falling edge of the ninth  
clock transmission of the address, the SSPIF is set, the  
BF flag is cleared and the Baud Rate Generator is  
turned off until another write to the SSPBUF takes  
place, holding SCL low and allowing SDA to float.  
In receive operation, the BF bit is set when an address  
or data byte is loaded into SSPBUF from SSPSR. It is  
cleared when the SSPBUF register is read.  
16.4.11.2 SSPOV Status Flag  
In receive operation, the SSPOV bit is set when 8 bits  
are received into the SSPSR and the BF flag bit is  
already set from a previous reception.  
16.4.11.3 WCOL Status Flag  
If the user writes the SSPBUF when a receive is  
already in progress (i.e., SSPSR is still shifting in a data  
byte), the WCOL bit is set and the contents of the buffer  
are unchanged (the write doesn’t occur).  
16.4.10.1 BF Status Flag  
In Transmit mode, the BF bit (SSPSTAT<0>) is set  
when the CPU writes to SSPBUF and is cleared when  
all 8 bits are shifted out.  
16.4.10.2 WCOL Status Flag  
If the user writes the SSPBUF when a transmit is  
already in progress (i.e., SSPSR is still shifting out a  
data byte), the WCOL is set and the contents of the  
buffer are unchanged (the write doesn’t occur).  
WCOL must be cleared in software.

16.4.12 ACKNOWLEDGE SEQUENCE  
TIMING  
16.4.13 STOP CONDITION TIMING  
A Stop bit is asserted on the SDA pin at the end of a  
receive/transmit by setting the Stop Sequence Enable  
bit, PEN (SSPCON2<2>). At the end of a receive/  
transmit, the SCL line is held low after the falling edge  
of the ninth clock. When the PEN bit is set, the master  
will assert the SDA line low. When the SDA line is sam-  
pled low, the Baud Rate Generator is reloaded and  
counts down to ‘0’. When the Baud Rate Generator  
times out, the SCL pin will be brought high and one  
TBRG (Baud Rate Generator rollover count) later, the  
SDA pin will be deasserted. When the SDA pin is sam-  
pled high while SCL is high, the P bit (SSPSTAT<4>) is  
set. A TBRG later, the PEN bit is cleared and the SSPIF  
bit is set (Figure 16-24).  
An Acknowledge sequence is enabled by setting the  
Acknowledge Sequence Enable bit, ACKEN  
(SSPCON2<4>). When this bit is set, the SCL pin is  
pulled low and the contents of the Acknowledge data bit  
are presented on the SDA pin. If the user wishes to gen-  
erate an Acknowledge, then the ACKDT bit should be  
cleared. If not, the user should set the ACKDT bit before  
starting an Acknowledge sequence. The Baud Rate  
Generator then counts for one rollover period (TBRG)  
and the SCL pin is deasserted (pulled high). When the  
SCL pin is sampled high (clock arbitration), the Baud  
Rate Generator counts for TBRG. The SCL pin is then  
pulled low. Following this, the ACKEN bit is automatically  
cleared, the Baud Rate Generator is turned off and the  
MSSP module then goes into Idle mode (Figure 16-23).  
16.4.13.1 WCOL Status Flag  
If the user writes the SSPBUF when a Stop sequence  
is in progress, then the WCOL bit is set and the  
contents of the buffer are unchanged (the write doesn’t  
occur).  
16.4.12.1 WCOL Status Flag  
If the user writes the SSPBUF when an Acknowledge  
sequence is in progress, then WCOL is set and the  
contents of the buffer are unchanged (the write doesn’t  
occur).

16.4.14 SLEEP OPERATION  
16.4.17 MULTI -MASTER COMMUNICATION,  
BUS COLLISION AND BUS  
While in Sleep mode, the I2C module can receive  
addresses or data and when an address match or  
complete byte transfer occurs, wake the processor  
from Sleep (if the MSSP interrupt is enabled).  
ARBITRATION  
Multi-Master mode support is achieved by bus arbitra-  
tion. When the master outputs address/data bits onto  
the SDA pin, arbitration takes place when the master  
outputs a ‘1’ on SDA, by letting SDA float high and  
another master asserts a ‘0’. When the SCL pin floats  
high, data should be stable. If the expected data on  
SDA is a ‘1’ and the data sampled on the SDA pin = 0,  
then a bus collision has taken place. The master will set  
the Bus Collision Interrupt Flag, BCLIF and reset the  
I2C port to its Idle state (Figure 16-25).  
16.4.15 EFFECTS OF A RESET  
A Reset disables the MSSP module and terminates the  
current transfer.  
16.4.16 MULTI-MASTER MODE  
In Multi-Master mode, the interrupt generation on the  
detection of the Start and Stop conditions allows the  
determination of when the bus is free. The Stop (P) and  
Start (S) bits are cleared from a Reset or when the  
MSSP module is disabled. Control of the I2C bus may  
be taken when the P bit (SSPSTAT<4>) is set, or the  
bus is Idle, with both the S and P bits clear. When the  
bus is busy, enabling the SSP interrupt will generate  
the interrupt when the Stop condition occurs.  
If a transmit was in progress when the bus collision  
occurred, the transmission is halted, the BF flag is  
cleared, the SDA and SCL lines are deasserted and the  
SSPBUF can be written to. When the user services the  
bus collision Interrupt Service Routine and if the I2C  
bus is free, the user can resume communication by  
asserting a Start condition.  
In multi-master operation, the SDA line must be  
monitored for arbitration to see if the signal level is the  
expected output level. This check is performed in  
hardware with the result placed in the BCLIF bit.  
If a Start, Repeated Start, Stop or Acknowledge  
condition was in progress when the bus collision  
occurred, the condition is aborted, the SDA and SCL  
lines are deasserted and the respective control bits in  
the SSPCON2 register are cleared. When the user ser-  
vices the bus collision Interrupt Service Routine and if  
the I2C bus is free, the user can resume communication  
by asserting a Start condition.  
The states where arbitration can be lost are:  
• Address Transfer  
• Data Transfer  
• A Start Condition  
The master will continue to monitor the SDA and SCL  
pins. If a Stop condition occurs, the SSPIF bit will be set.  
• A Repeated Start Condition  
• An Acknowledge Condition  
A write to the SSPBUF will start the transmission of  
data at the first data bit regardless of where the  
transmitter left off when the bus collision occurred.  
In Multi-Master mode, the interrupt generation on the  
detection of Start and Stop conditions allows the deter-  
mination of when the bus is free. Control of the I2C bus  
can be taken when the P bit is set in the SSPSTAT  
register, or the bus is Idle and the S and P bits are  
cleared.

If the SDA pin is sampled low during this count, the  
BRG is reset and the SDA line is asserted early  
(Figure 16-28). If, however, a ‘1’ is sampled on the SDA  
pin, the SDA pin is asserted low at the end of the BRG  
count. The Baud Rate Generator is then reloaded and  
counts down to 0; if the SCL pin is sampled as ‘0’  
during this time, a bus collision does not occur. At the  
end of the BRG count, the SCL pin is asserted low.  
16.4.17.1 Bus Collision During a Start  
Condition  
During a Start condition, a bus collision occurs if:  
a) SDA or SCL are sampled low at the beginning of  
the Start condition (Figure 16-26).  
b) SCL is sampled low before SDA is asserted low  
(Figure 16-27).  
During a Start condition, both the SDA and the SCL  
pins are monitored.  
Note:  
The reason that bus collision is not a factor  
during a Start condition is that no two bus  
masters can assert a Start condition at the  
exact same time. Therefore, one master  
will always assert SDA before the other.  
This condition does not cause a bus  
collision because the two masters must be  
allowed to arbitrate the first address  
following the Start condition. If the address  
is the same, arbitration must be allowed to  
continue into the data portion, Repeated  
Start or Stop conditions.  
If the SDA pin is already low, or the SCL pin is already  
low, then all of the following occur:  
• the Start condition is aborted,  
• the BCLIF flag is set and  
the MSSP module is reset to its Idle state  
(Figure 16-26).  
The Start condition begins with the SDA and SCL pins  
deasserted. When the SDA pin is sampled high, the  
Baud Rate Generator is loaded from SSPADD<6:0>  
and counts down to 0. If the SCL pin is sampled low  
while SDA is high, a bus collision occurs because it is  
assumed that another master is attempting to drive a  
data ‘1’ during the Start condition.

If SDA is low, a bus collision has occurred (i.e., another  
master is attempting to transmit a data ‘0’, Figure 16-29).  
If SDA is sampled high, the BRG is reloaded and begins  
counting. If SDA goes from high-to-low before the BRG  
times out, no bus collision occurs because no two  
masters can assert SDA at exactly the same time.  
16.4.17.2 Bus Collision During a Repeated  
Start Condition  
During a Repeated Start condition, a bus collision  
occurs if:  
a) A low level is sampled on SDA when SCL goes  
from low level to high level.  
If SCL goes from high-to-low before the BRG times out  
and SDA has not already been asserted, a bus collision  
occurs. In this case, another master is attempting to  
transmit a data ‘1’ during the Repeated Start condition,  
see Figure 16-30.  
b) SCL goes low before SDA is asserted low,  
indicating that another master is attempting to  
transmit a data ‘1’.  
When the user deasserts SDA and the pin is allowed to  
float high, the BRG is loaded with SSPADD<6:0> and  
counts down to 0. The SCL pin is then deasserted and  
when sampled high, the SDA pin is sampled.  
If, at the end of the BRG time-out, both SCL and SDA  
are still high, the SDA pin is driven low and the BRG is  
reloaded and begins counting. At the end of the count,  
regardless of the status of the SCL pin, the SCL pin is  
driven low and the Repeated Start condition is  
complete.

The Stop condition begins with SDA asserted low.  
When SDA is sampled low, the SCL pin is allowed to  
float. When the pin is sampled high (clock arbitration),  
the Baud Rate Generator is loaded with SSPADD<6:0>  
and counts down to 0. After the BRG times out, SDA is  
sampled. If SDA is sampled low, a bus collision has  
occurred. This is due to another master attempting to  
drive a data ‘0’ (Figure 16-31). If the SCL pin is  
sampled low before SDA is allowed to float high, a bus  
collision occurs. This is another case of another master  
attempting to drive a data ‘0’ (Figure 16-32).  
16.4.17.3 Bus Collision During a Stop  
Condition  
Bus collision occurs during a Stop condition if:  
a) After the SDA pin has been deasserted and  
allowed to float high, SDA is sampled low after  
the BRG has timed out.  
b) After the SCL pin is deasserted, SCL is sampled  
low before SDA goes high.

The pins of the Enhanced USART are multiplexed with  
PORTC. In order to configure RC6/TX/CK and  
RC7/RX/DT as a USART:  
17.0 ENHANCED UNIVERSAL  
SYNCHRONOUS RECEIVER  
TRANSMITTER (EUSART)  
• bit SPEN (RCSTA<7>) must be set (= 1)  
• bit TRISC<7> must be set (= 1)  
• bit TRISC<6> must be set (= 1)  
The Enhanced Universal Synchronous Asynchronous  
Receiver Transmitter (EUSART) module is one of the  
two serial I/O modules. (Generically, the USART is also  
known as a Serial Communications Interface or SCI.)  
The EUSART can be configured as a full-duplex  
asynchronous system that can communicate with  
peripheral devices, such as CRT terminals and  
personal computers. It can also be configured as a half-  
duplex synchronous system that can communicate  
with peripheral devices, such as A/D or D/A integrated  
circuits, serial EEPROMs, etc.  
Note:  
The EUSART control will automatically  
reconfigure the pin from input to output as  
needed.  
The operation of the Enhanced USART module is  
controlled through three registers:  
• Transmit Status and Control (TXSTA)  
• Receive Status and Control (RCSTA)  
• Baud Rate Control (BAUDCON)  
The Enhanced USART module implements additional  
features, including automatic baud rate detection and  
calibration, automatic wake-up on Sync Break recep-  
tion and 12-bit Break character transmit. These make it  
ideally suited for use in Local Interconnect Network bus  
(LIN bus) systems.  
These are detailed on the following pages in  
Register 17-1, Register 17-2 and Register 17-3,  
respectively.  
The EUSART can be configured in the following  
modes:  
• Asynchronous (full duplex) with:  
- Auto-wake-up on character reception  
- Auto-baud calibration  
- 12-bit Break character transmission  
• Synchronous – Master (half duplex) with  
selectable clock polarity  
• Synchronous – Slave (half duplex) with selectable  
clock polarity

advantageous to use the high baud rate (BRGH = 1) or  
the 16-bit BRG to reduce the baud rate error, or  
achieve a slow baud rate for a fast oscillator frequency.  
17.1  
Baud Rate Generator (BRG)  
The BRG is a dedicated 8-bit or 16-bit generator that  
supports both the Asynchronous and Synchronous  
modes of the EUSART. By default, the BRG operates  
in 8-Bit mode; setting the BRG16 bit (BAUDCON<3>)  
selects 16-Bit mode.  
Writing a new value to the SPBRGH:SPBRG registers  
causes the BRG timer to be reset (or cleared). This  
ensures the BRG does not wait for a timer overflow  
before outputting the new baud rate.  
The SPBRGH:SPBRG register pair controls the period  
of a free running timer. In Asynchronous mode, bits  
BRGH (TXSTA<2>) and BRG16 (BAUDCON<3>) also  
control the baud rate. In Synchronous mode, BRGH is  
ignored. Table 17-1 shows the formula for computation  
of the baud rate for different EUSART modes which  
only apply in Master mode (internally generated clock).  
17.1.1  
OPERATION IN POWER-MANAGED  
MODES  
The device clock is used to generate the desired baud  
rate. When one of the power-managed modes is  
entered, the new clock source may be operating at a  
different frequency. This may require an adjustment to  
the value in the SPBRG register pair.  
Given the desired baud rate and FOSC, the nearest  
integer value for the SPBRGH:SPBRG registers can be  
calculated using the formulas in Table 17-1. From this,  
the error in baud rate can be determined. An example  
calculation is shown in Example 17-1. Typical baud  
rates and error values for the various Asynchronous  
modes are shown in Table 17-2. It may be  
17.1.2  
SAMPLING  
The data on the RX 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.

17.1.3  
AUTO-BAUD RATE DETECT  
Note 1: If the WUE bit is set with the ABDEN bit,  
Auto-Baud Rate Detection will occur on  
the byte following the Break character.  
The Enhanced USART module supports the automatic  
detection and calibration of baud rate. This feature is  
active only in Asynchronous mode and while the WUE  
bit is clear.  
2: It is up to the user to determine that the  
incoming character baud rate is within the  
range of the selected BRG clock source.  
Some combinations of oscillator frequency  
and EUSART baud rates are not possible  
due to bit error rates. Overall system  
timing and communication baud rates  
must be taken into consideration when  
using the Auto-Baud Rate Detection  
feature.  
The automatic baud rate measurement sequence  
(Figure 17-1) begins whenever a Start bit is received  
and the ABDEN bit is set. The calculation is  
self-averaging.  
In the Auto-Baud Rate Detect (ABD) mode, the clock to  
the BRG is reversed. Rather than the BRG clocking the  
incoming RX signal, the RX signal is timing the BRG. In  
ABD mode, the internal Baud Rate Generator is used  
as a counter to time the bit period of the incoming serial  
byte stream.  
TABLE 17-4: BRG COUNTER  
CLOCK RATES  
Once the ABDEN bit is set, the state machine will clear  
the BRG and look for a Start bit. The Auto-Baud Rate  
Detect must receive a byte with the value 55h (ASCII  
“U”, which is also the LIN bus Sync character) in order to  
calculate the proper bit rate. The measurement is taken  
over both a low and a high bit time in order to minimize  
any effects caused by asymmetry of the incoming signal.  
After a Start bit, the SPBRG begins counting up, using  
the preselected clock source on the first rising edge of  
RX. After eight bits on the RX pin or the fifth rising edge,  
an accumulated value totalling the proper BRG period is  
left in the SPBRGH:SPBRG register pair. Once the 5th  
edge is seen (this should correspond to the Stop bit), the  
ABDEN bit is automatically cleared.

Note:  
During the ABD sequence, SPBRG and  
SPBRGH are both used as a 16-bit  
counter, independent of BRG16 setting.  
17.1.3.1  
ABD and EUSART Transmission  
Since the BRG clock is reversed during ABD acquisi-  
tion, the EUSART transmitter cannot be used during  
ABD. This means that whenever the ABDEN bit is set,  
TXREG cannot be written to. Users should also ensure  
that ABDEN does not become set during a transmit  
sequence. Failing to do this may result in unpredictable  
EUSART operation.  
If a rollover of the BRG occurs (an overflow from FFFFh  
to 0000h), the event is trapped by the ABDOVF status  
bit (BAUDCON<7>). It is set in hardware by BRG roll-  
overs and can be set or cleared by the user in software.  
ABD mode remains active after rollover events and the  
ABDEN bit remains set (Figure 17-2).  
While calibrating the baud rate period, the BRG  
registers are clocked at 1/8th the preconfigured clock  
rate. Note that the BRG clock will be configured by the  
BRG16 and BRGH bits. Independent of the BRG16 bit  
setting, both the SPBRG and SPBRGH will be used as  
a 16-bit counter. This allows the user to verify that no  
carry occurred for 8-Bit modes by checking for 00h in  
the SPBRGH register. Refer to Table 17-4 for counter  
clock rates to the BRG.  
While the ABD sequence takes place, the EUSART  
state machine is held in Idle. The RCIF interrupt is set  
once the fifth rising edge on RX is detected. The value  
in the RCREG needs to be read to clear the RCIF  
interrupt. ThecontentsofRCREG shouldbediscarded.

Once the TXREG register transfers the data to the TSR  
register (occurs in one TCY), the TXREG register is empty  
and the TXIF flag bit (PIR1<4>) is set. This interrupt can  
be enabled or disabled by setting or clearing the interrupt  
enable bit, TXIE (PIE1<4>). TXIF will be set regardless of  
the state of TXIE; it cannot be cleared in software. TXIF  
is also not cleared immediately upon loading TXREG, but  
becomes valid in the second instruction cycle following  
the load instruction. Polling TXIF immediately following a  
load of TXREG will return invalid results.  
17.2 EUSART Asynchronous Mode  
The Asynchronous mode of operation is selected by  
clearing the SYNC bit (TXSTA<4>). In this mode, the  
EUSART 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/16-bit Baud Rate Generator can be used  
to derive standard baud rate frequencies from the  
oscillator.  
The EUSART transmits and receives the LSb first. The  
EUSART’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 the BRGH  
and BRG16 bits (TXSTA<2> and BAUDCON<3>). Parity  
is not supported by the hardware but can be  
implemented in software and stored as the 9th data bit.  
While 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 register is empty. No interrupt logic is  
tied to this bit so the user has to poll this bit in order to  
determine if the TSR register is empty.  
Note 1: The TSR register is not mapped in data  
When operating in Asynchronous mode, the EUSART  
module consists of the following important elements:  
memory so it is not available to the user.  
2: Flag bit TXIF is set when enable bit TXEN  
• Baud Rate Generator  
• Sampling Circuit  
is set.  
To set up an Asynchronous Transmission:  
• Asynchronous Transmitter  
• Asynchronous Receiver  
• Auto-Wake-up on Sync Break Character  
• 12-bit Break Character Transmit  
• Auto-Baud Rate Detection  
1. Initialize the SPBRGH:SPBRG registers for the  
appropriate baud rate. Set or clear the BRGH  
and BRG16 bits, as required, to achieve the  
desired baud rate.  
2. Enable the asynchronous serial port by clearing  
bit SYNC and setting bit SPEN.  
3. If interrupts are desired, set enable bit TXIE.  
4. If 9-bit transmission is desired, set transmit bit  
TX9. Can be used as address/data bit.  
5. Enable the transmission by setting bit TXEN  
which will also set bit TXIF.  
6. If 9-bit transmission is selected, the ninth bit  
should be loaded in bit TX9D.  
7. Load data to the TXREG register (starts  
transmission).  
8. If using interrupts, ensure that the GIE and PEIE  
bits in the INTCON register (INTCON<7:6>) are  
set.

EUSART ASYNCHRONOUS  
TRANSMITTER  
The EUSART transmitter block diagram is shown in  
Figure 17-3. The heart of the transmitter is the Transmit  
(Serial) Shift Register (TSR). The Shift register obtains  
its data from the Read/Write Transmit Buffer register,  
TXREG. The TXREG register is loaded with data in  
software. The TSR register is not loaded until the Stop  
bit has been transmitted from the previous load. As  
soon as the Stop bit is transmitted, the TSR is loaded  
with new data from the TXREG register (if available).

17.2.3  
SETTING UP 9-BIT MODE WITH  
ADDRESS DETECT  
The receiver block diagram is shown in Figure 17-6.  
The data is received on the RX 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. This mode would typically be used  
in RS-232 systems.  
This mode would typically be used in RS-485 systems.  
To set up an Asynchronous Reception with Address  
Detect Enable:  
1. Initialize the SPBRGH:SPBRG registers for the  
appropriate baud rate. Set or clear the BRGH  
and BRG16 bits, as required, to achieve the  
desired baud rate.  
To set up an Asynchronous Reception:  
2. Enable the asynchronous serial port by clearing  
the SYNC bit and setting the SPEN bit.  
1. Initialize the SPBRGH:SPBRG registers for the

3. If interrupts are required, set the RCEN bit and  
select the desired priority level with the RCIP bit.  
4. Set the RX9 bit to enable 9-bit reception.  
5. Set the ADDEN bit to enable address detect.  
6. Enable reception by setting the CREN bit.  
2. Enable the asynchronous serial port by clearing  
bit SYNC and setting bit SPEN.  
3. If interrupts are desired, set enable bit RCIE.  
4. If 9-bit reception is desired, set bit RX9.  
5. Enable the reception by setting bit CREN.  
7. The RCIF bit will be set when reception is  
complete. The interrupt will be Acknowledged if  
the RCIE and GIE bits are set.  
6. 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 determine if any  
error occurred during reception, as well as read  
bit 9 of data (if applicable).  
7. Read the RCSTA register to get the 9th bit (if  
enabled) and determine if any error occurred  
during reception.  
9. Read RCREG to determine if the device is being  
addressed.  
10. If any error occurred, clear the CREN bit.  
8. Read the 8-bit received data by reading the  
RCREG register.  
11. If the device has been addressed, clear the  
ADDEN bit to allow all received data into the  
receive buffer and interrupt the CPU.  
9. If any error occurred, clear the error by clearing  
enable bit CREN.  
10. If using interrupts, ensure that the GIE and PEIE

character and cause data or framing errors. To work  
properly, therefore, the initial character in the transmis-  
sion must be all ‘0’s. This can be 00h (8 bytes) for  
standard RS-232 devices or 000h (12 bits) for LIN bus.  
17.2.4  
AUTO-WAKE-UP ON SYNC BREAK  
CHARACTER  
During Sleep mode, all clocks to the EUSART are  
suspended. Because of this, the Baud Rate Generator  
is inactive and a proper byte reception cannot be per-  
formed. The auto-wake-up feature allows the controller  
to wake-up due to activity on the RX/DT line while the  
EUSART is operating in Asynchronous mode.  
Oscillator start-up time must also be considered,  
especially in applications using oscillators with longer  
start-up intervals (i.e., XT or HS mode). The Sync  
Break (or Wake-up Signal) character must be of  
sufficient length and be followed by a sufficient interval  
to allow enough time for the selected oscillator to start  
and provide proper initialization of the EUSART.  
The auto-wake-up feature is enabled by setting the  
WUE bit (BAUDCON<1>). Once set, the typical receive  
sequence on RX/DT is disabled and the EUSART  
remains in an Idle state, monitoring for a wake-up event  
independent of the CPU mode. A wake-up event con-  
sists of a high-to-low transition on the RX/DT line. (This  
coincides with the start of a Sync Break or a Wake-up  
Signal character for the LIN protocol.)  
17.2.4.2  
Special Considerations Using  
the WUE Bit  
The timing of WUE and RCIF events may cause some  
confusion when it comes to determining the validity of  
received data. As noted, setting the WUE bit places the  
EUSART in an Idle mode. The wake-up event causes  
a receive interrupt by setting the RCIF bit. The WUE bit  
is cleared after this when a rising edge is seen on  
RX/DT. The interrupt condition is then cleared by  
reading the RCREG register. Ordinarily, the data in  
RCREG will be dummy data and should be  
discarded.  
Following a wake-up event, the module generates an  
RCIF interrupt. The interrupt is generated synchro-  
nously to the Q clocks in normal operating modes  
(Figure 17-8) and asynchronously, if the device is in  
Sleep mode (Figure 17-9). The interrupt condition is  
cleared by reading the RCREG register.  
The WUE bit is automatically cleared once a low-to-high  
transition is observed on the RX line following the wake-  
up event. At this point, the EUSART module is in Idle  
mode and returns to normal operation. This signals to  
the user that the Sync Break event is over.  
The fact that the WUE bit has been cleared (or is still  
set) and the RCIF flag is set should not be used as an  
indicator of the integrity of the data in RCREG. Users  
should consider implementing a parallel method in  
firmware to verify received data integrity.  
17.2.4.1  
Special Considerations Using  
Auto-Wake-up  
To assure that no actual data is lost, check the RCIDL  
bit to verify that a receive operation is not in process. If  
a receive operation is not occurring, the WUE bit may  
then be set just prior to entering the Sleep mode.  
Since auto-wake-up functions by sensing rising edge  
transitions on RX/DT, information with any state  
changes before the Stop bit may signal a false end-of-

1. Configure the EUSART for the desired mode.  
17.2.5  
BREAK CHARACTER SEQUENCE  
2. Set the TXEN and SENDB bits to set up the  
Break character.  
The EUSART module has the capability of sending the  
special Break character sequences that are required by  
the LIN bus standard. The Break character transmit  
consists of a Start bit, followed by twelve ‘0’ bits and a  
Stop bit. The frame Break character is sent whenever  
the SENDB and TXEN bits (TXSTA<3> and  
TXSTA<5>) are set while the Transmit Shift register is  
loaded with data. Note that the value of data written to  
TXREG will be ignored and all ‘0’s will be transmitted.  
3. Load the TXREG with a dummy character to  
initiate transmission (the value is ignored).  
4. Write ‘55h’ to TXREG to load the Sync character  
into the transmit FIFO buffer.  
5. After the Break has been sent, the SENDB bit is  
reset by hardware. The Sync character now  
transmits in the preconfigured mode.  
The SENDB bit is automatically reset by hardware after  
the corresponding Stop bit is sent. This allows the user  
to preload the transmit FIFO with the next transmit byte  
following the Break character (typically, the Sync  
character in the LIN specification).  
When the TXREG becomes empty, as indicated by the  
TXIF, the next data byte can be written to TXREG.  
17.2.6  
RECEIVING A BREAK CHARACTER  
The Enhanced USART module can receive a Break  
character in two ways.  
Note that the data value written to the TXREG for the  
Break character is ignored. The write simply serves the  
purpose of initiating the proper sequence.  
The first method forces configuration of the baud rate  
at a frequency of 9/13 the typical speed. This allows for  
the Stop bit transition to be at the correct sampling  
location (13 bits for Break versus Start bit and 8 data  
bits for typical data).  
The TRMT bit indicates when the transmit operation is  
active or Idle, just as it does during normal transmis-  
sion. See Figure 17-10 for the timing of the Break  
character sequence.  
The second method uses the auto-wake-up feature  
described in Section 17.2.4 “Auto-Wake-up on Sync  
Break Character”. By enabling this feature, the  
EUSART will sample the next two transitions on RX/DT,  
cause an RCIF interrupt and receive the next data byte  
followed by another interrupt.  
17.2.5.1  
Break and Sync Transmit Sequence  
The following sequence will send a message frame  
header made up of a Break, followed by an Auto-Baud  
Sync byte. This sequence is typical of a LIN bus  
master.  
Note that following a Break character, the user will  
typically want to enable the Auto-Baud Rate Detect  
feature. For both methods, the user can set the ABD bit  
once the TXIF interrupt is observed.

Once the TXREG register transfers the data to the TSR  
register (occurs in one TCY), the TXREG is empty and  
the TXIF flag bit (PIR1<4>) is set. The interrupt can be  
enabled or disabled by setting or clearing the interrupt  
enable bit, TXIE (PIE1<4>). TXIF is set regardless of  
the state of enable bit TXIE; it cannot be cleared in  
software. It will reset only when new data is loaded into  
the TXREG register.  
17.3 EUSART Synchronous  
Master Mode  
The Synchronous Master mode is entered by setting  
the CSRC bit (TXSTA<7>). In this mode, the data is  
transmitted in a half-duplex manner (i.e., transmission  
and reception do not occur at the same time). When  
transmitting data, the reception is inhibited and vice  
versa. Synchronous mode is entered by setting bit  
SYNC (TXSTA<4>). In addition, enable bit SPEN  
(RCSTA<7>) is set in order to configure the TX and RX  
pins to CK (clock) and DT (data) lines, respectively.  
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 interrupt logic is tied to  
this bit so the user has to poll this bit in order to deter-  
mine if the TSR register is empty. The TSR is not  
mapped in data memory so it is not available to the user.  
The Master mode indicates that the processor trans-  
mits the master clock on the CK line. Clock polarity is  
selected with the SCKP bit (BAUDCON<4>); setting  
SCKP sets the Idle state on CK as high, while clearing  
the bit sets the Idle state as low. This option is provided  
to support Microwire devices with this module.  
To set up a Synchronous Master Transmission:  
1. Initialize the SPBRGH:SPBRG registers for the  
appropriate baud rate. Set or clear the BRG16  
bit, as required, to achieve the desired baud rate.  
17.3.1  
EUSART SYNCHRONOUS MASTER  
TRANSMISSION  
2. Enable the synchronous master serial port by  
setting bits SYNC, SPEN and CSRC.  
The EUSART transmitter block diagram is shown in  
Figure 17-3. 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).  
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.  
8. If using interrupts, ensure that the GIE and PEIE  
bits in the INTCON register (INTCON<7:6>) are  
set.

3. Ensure bits CREN and SREN are clear.  
4. If interrupts are desired, set enable bit RCIE.  
5. If 9-bit reception is desired, 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  
the enable bit RCIE was set.  
8. Read the RCSTA register to get the 9th bit (if  
enabled) and determine if any error occurred  
during reception.  
17.3.2  
EUSART SYNCHRONOUS  
MASTER RECEPTION  
Once Synchronous mode is selected, reception is  
enabled by setting either the Single Receive Enable bit,  
SREN (RCSTA<5>), or the Continuous Receive  
Enable bit, CREN (RCSTA<4>). Data is sampled on the  
RX pin on the falling edge of the clock.  
If enable bit SREN is set, 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, then CREN  
takes precedence.  
9. Read the 8-bit received data by reading the  
RCREG register.  
10. If any error occurred, clear the error by clearing  
bit CREN.  
11. If using interrupts, ensure that the GIE and PEIE  
bits in the INTCON register (INTCON<7:6>) are  
set.  
To set up a Synchronous Master Reception:  
1. Initialize the SPBRGH:SPBRG registers for the  
appropriate baud rate. Set or clear the BRG16  
bit, as required, to achieve the desired baud rate.  
2. Enable the synchronous master serial port by  
setting bits SYNC, SPEN and CSRC.

To set up a Synchronous Slave Transmission:  
17.4 EUSART Synchronous  
Slave Mode  
1. Enable the synchronous slave serial port by  
setting bits SYNC and SPEN and clearing bit  
CSRC.  
Synchronous Slave mode is entered by clearing bit,  
CSRC (TXSTA<7>). This mode differs from the  
Synchronous Master mode in that the shift clock is sup-  
plied externally at the CK pin (instead of being supplied  
internally in Master mode). This allows the device to  
transfer or receive data while in any low-power mode.  
2. Clear bits CREN and SREN.  
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 enable bit  
TXEN.  
17.4.1  
EUSART SYNCHRONOUS  
SLAVE TRANSMIT  
6. If 9-bit transmission is selected, the ninth bit  
should be loaded in bit TX9D.  
The operation of the Synchronous Master and Slave  
modes are identical, except in the case of the Sleep  
mode.  
7. Start transmission by loading data to the  
TXREGx register.  
8. If using interrupts, ensure that the GIE and PEIE  
bits in the INTCON register (INTCON<7:6>) are  
set.  
If two words are written to the TXREG and then the  
SLEEPinstruction is executed, the following will occur:  
a) The first word will immediately transfer to the  
TSR register and transmit.  
b) The second word will remain in the TXREG  
register.  
c) Flag bit TXIF will not be set.  
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.  
e) If enable bit TXIE is set, the interrupt will wake the  
chip from Sleep. If the global interrupt is enabled,  
the program will branch to the interrupt vector.

To set up a Synchronous Slave Reception:  
17.4.2  
EUSART SYNCHRONOUS SLAVE  
RECEPTION  
1. Enable the synchronous master serial port by  
setting bits SYNC and SPEN and clearing bit  
CSRC.  
The operation of the Synchronous Master and Slave  
modes is identical, except in the case of Sleep, or any  
Idle mode and bit SREN, which is a “don’t care” in  
Slave mode.  
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.  
If receive is enabled by setting the CREN bit prior to  
entering Sleep or any Idle mode, then a word may be  
received while in this low-power mode. Once the word  
is received, the RSR register will transfer the data to the  
RCREG register; if the RCIE enable bit is set, the inter-  
rupt generated will wake the chip from the low-power  
mode. If the global interrupt is enabled, the program will  
branch to the interrupt vector.  
5. Flag bit RCIF will be set when reception is  
complete. An interrupt will be generated if  
enable bit RCIE was set.  
6. Read the RCSTA register to get the 9th bit (if  
enabled) and determine if any error occurred  
during reception.  
7. Read the 8-bit received data by reading the  
RCREG register.  
8. If any error occurred, clear the error by clearing  
bit CREN.  
9. If using interrupts, ensure that the GIE and PEIE  
bits in the INTCON register (INTCON<7:6>) are  
set.

The analog reference voltage is software selectable  
to either the device’s positive and negative supply  
voltage (VDD and VSS), or the voltage level on the  
RA3/AN3/VREF+ and RA2/AN2/VREF-/CVREF pins.  
A device Reset forces all registers to their Reset state.  
This forces the A/D module to be turned off and any  
conversion in progress is aborted.  
Each port pin associated with the A/D converter can  
be configured as an analog input, or as a digital I/O.  
The ADRESH and ADRESL registers contain the  
result of the A/D conversion. When the A/D  
conversion is complete, the result is loaded into the  
ADRESH:ADRESL register pair, the GO/DONE bit  
(ADCON0 register) is cleared and A/D Interrupt Flag  
bit ADIF is set. The block diagram of the A/D module  
is shown in Figure 18-1.  
The A/D converter has a unique feature of being able  
to operate while the device is in Sleep mode. To oper-  
ate in Sleep, the A/D conversion clock must be derived  
from the A/D’s internal RC oscillator.  
The output of the sample and hold is the input into the  
converter, which generates the result via successive  
approximation.

The value 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.  
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  
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 an  
input. To determine acquisition time, see Section 18.1  
“A/D Acquisition Requirements”. After this acquisi-  
tion time has elapsed, the A/D conversion can be  
started. An acquisition time can be programmed to  
occur between setting the GO/DONE bit and the actual  
start of the conversion.  
6. Read A/D Result registers (ADRESH:ADRESL);  
clear bit ADIF, if required.  
7. For next conversion, go to step 1 or step 2, as  
required. The A/D conversion time per bit is  
defined as TAD. A minimum wait of 2 TAD is  
required before the next acquisition starts.  
FIGURE 18-2:

To calculate the minimum acquisition time,  
Equation 18-1 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.  
18.1 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 18-3. 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). The source impedance affects the offset voltage  
at the analog input (due to pin leakage current). The  
maximum recommended impedance for analog  
sources is 2.5 kΩ. After the analog input channel is  
selected (changed), the channel must be sampled for  
at least the minimum acquisition time before starting a  
conversion.  
Example 18-3 shows the calculation of the minimum  
required acquisition time TACQ. This calculation is  
based on the following application system

18.2 Selecting and Configuring  
Acquisition Time  
18.3 Selecting the A/D Conversion  
Clock  
The ADCON2 register allows the user to select an  
acquisition time that occurs each time the GO/DONE  
bit is set. It also gives users the option to use an  
automatically determined acquisition time.  
The A/D conversion time per bit is defined as TAD. The  
A/D conversion requires 11 TAD per 10-bit conversion.  
The source of the A/D conversion clock is software  
selectable. There are seven possible options for TAD:  
Acquisition time may be set with the ACQT2:ACQT0  
bits (ADCON2<5:3>), which provides a range of 2 to  
20 TAD. When the GO/DONE bit is set, the A/D module  
continues to sample the input for the selected acquisi-  
tion time, then automatically begins a conversion.  
Since the acquisition time is programmed, there may  
be no need to wait for an acquisition time between  
selecting a channel and setting the GO/DONE bit.

when  
For correct A/D conversions, the A/D conversion clock  
(TAD) must be as short as possible, but greater than the  
minimum TAD (see parameter 130 for more  
information).  
ACQT2:ACQT0 = 000. When the GO/DONE bit is set,  
sampling is stopped and a conversion begins. The user  
is responsible for ensuring the required acquisition time  
has passed between selecting the desired input channel  
and setting the GO/DONE bit. This option is also the  
default Reset state of the ACQT2:ACQT0 bits and is  
compatible with devices that do not offer programmable  
acquisition times.  
Table 18-1 shows the resultant TAD times derived from  
the device operating frequencies and the A/D clock  
source selected.  
In either case, when the conversion is completed, the  
GO/DONE bit is cleared, the ADIF flag is set and the  
A/D begins sampling the currently selected channel  
again. If an acquisition time is programmed, there is  
nothing to indicate if the acquisition time has ended or  
if the conversion has begun.

18.4 Operation in Power-Managed  
Modes  
18.5 Configuring Analog Port Pins  
The ADCON1, TRISA, TRISB and TRISE registers all  
configure the A/D port pins. The port pins needed 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 selection of the automatic acquisition time and A/  
D conversion clock is determined in part by the clock  
source and frequency while in a power-managed  
mode.  
The A/D operation is independent of the state of the  
CHS3:CHS0 bits and the TRIS bits.  
If the A/D is expected to operate while the device is in  
a power-managed mode, the ACQT2:ACQT0 and  
ADCS2:ADCS0 bits in ADCON2 should be updated in  
accordance with the clock source to be used in that  
mode. After entering the mode, an A/D acquisition or  
conversion may be started. Once started, the device  
should continue to be clocked by the same clock  
source until the conversion has been completed.  
Note 1: When reading the Port register, all pins  
configured as analog input channels will  
read as cleared (a low level). Pins config-  
ured as digital inputs will convert as  
analog inputs. Analog levels on a digitally  
configured input will be accurately  
converted.  
If desired, the device may be placed into the  
corresponding Idle mode during the conversion. If the  
device clock frequency is less than 1 MHz, the A/D RC  
clock source should be selected.  
2: Analog levels on any pin defined as a  
digital input may cause the digital input  
buffer to consume current out of the  
device’s specification limits.  
Operation in the Sleep mode requires the A/D FRC  
clock to be selected. If bits ACQT2:ACQT0 are set to  
000’ and a conversion is started, the conversion will be  
delayed one instruction cycle to allow execution of the  
SLEEPinstruction and entry to Sleep mode. The IDLEN  
bit (OSCCON<7>) must have already been cleared  
prior to starting the conversion.  
3: The PBADEN bit in Configuration  
Register 3H configures PORTB pins to  
reset as analog or digital pins by control-  
ling how the PCFG0 bits in ADCON1 are  
reset.

PIC18F2X1X/4X1X  
After the A/D conversion is completed or aborted, a  
2 TAD wait is required before the next acquisition can be  
started. After this wait, acquisition on the selected  
channel is automatically started.  
18.6 A/D Conversions  
Figure 18-4 shows the operation of the A/D converter  
after the GO bit has been set and the ACQT2:ACQT0  
bits are cleared. A conversion is started after the follow-  
ing instruction to allow entry into Sleep mode before the  
conversion begins.  
Note:  
The GO/DONE bit should NOT be set in  
the same instruction that turns on the A/D.  
Figure 18-5 shows the operation of the A/D converter  
after the GO bit has been set and the ACQT2:ACQT0  
bits are set to ‘010’ and selecting a 4 TAD acquisition  
time before the conversion starts.  
18.7 Discharge  
The discharge phase is used to initialize the value of  
the capacitor array. The array is discharged before  
every sample. This feature helps to optimize the unity-  
gain amplifier, as the circuit always needs to charge the  
capacitor array, rather than charge/discharge based on  
previous measure values.  
Clearing the GO/DONE bit during a conversion will  
abort the current conversion. The A/D Result register  
pair will NOT be updated with the partially completed  
A/D  
conversion  
sample.  
This  
means  
the  
ADRESH:ADRESL registers will continue to contain  
the value of the last completed conversion (or the last  
value written to the ADRESH:ADRESL registers).

desired location). The appropriate analog input  
channel must be selected and the minimum acquisition  
period is either timed by the user, or an appropriate  
TACQ time selected before the special event trigger sets  
the GO/DONE bit (starts a conversion).  
18.8 Use of the CCP2 Trigger  
An A/D conversion can be started by the special event  
trigger of the CCP2 module. This requires that the  
CCP2M3:CCP2M0 bits (CCP2CON<3:0>) be pro-  
grammed as ‘1011’ and that the A/D module is enabled  
(ADON bit is set). When the trigger occurs, the GO/  
DONE bit will be set, starting the A/D acquisition and  
conversion and the Timer1 (or Timer3) counter will be  
reset to zero. Timer1 (or Timer3) is reset to automati-  
cally repeat the A/D acquisition period with minimal  
If the A/D module is not enabled (ADON is cleared), the  
special event trigger will be ignored by the A/D module  
but will still reset the Timer1 (or Timer3) counter.

19.3.2  
INTERNAL REFERENCE SIGNAL  
19.2 Comparator Operation  
The comparator module also allows the selection of an  
internally generated voltage reference from the  
comparator voltage reference module. This module is  
described in more detail in Section 20.0 “Comparator  
Voltage Reference Module”.  
A single comparator is shown in Figure 19-2, along with  
the relationship between the analog input levels and  
the digital output. When the analog input at VIN+ is less  
than the analog input VIN-, the output of the comparator  
is a digital low level. When the analog input at VIN+ is  
greater than the analog input VIN-, the output of the  
comparator is a digital high level. The shaded areas of  
the output of the comparator in Figure 19-2 represent  
the uncertainty, due to input offsets and response time.  
The internal reference is only available in the mode  
where four inputs are multiplexed to two comparators  
(CM2:CM0 = 110). In this mode, the internal voltage  
reference is applied to the VIN+ pin of both  
comparators.  
19.3 Comparator Reference  
19.4 Comparator Response Time  
Depending on the comparator operating mode, either  
an external or internal voltage reference may be used.  
The analog signal present at VIN- is compared to the  
signal at VIN+ and the digital output of the comparator  
is adjusted accordingly (Figure 19-2).  
Response time is the minimum time, after selecting a  
new reference voltage or input source, before the  
comparator output has a valid level. If the internal  
reference is changed, the maximum delay of the  
internal voltage reference must be considered when  
using the comparator outputs. Otherwise, the  
maximum delay of the comparators should be used  
(see Section 25.0 “Electrical Characteristics”).

19.5 Comparator Outputs  
Output  
The comparator outputs are read through the CMCON  
register. These bits are read-only. The comparator  
outputs may also be directly output to the RA4 and RA5  
I/O pins. When enabled, multiplexors in the output path  
of the RA4 and RA5 pins will switch and the output of  
each pin will be the unsynchronized output of the  
comparator. The uncertainty of each of the  
comparators is related to the input offset voltage and  
the response time given in the specifications.  
Figure 19-3 shows the comparator output block  
diagram.  
VIN-  
VIN+  
Output  
The TRISA bits will still function as an output enable/  
disable for the RA4 and RA5 pins while in this mode.  
The polarity of the comparator outputs can be changed  
using the C2INV and C1INV bits (CMCON<4:5>).  
19.3.1  
EXTERNAL REFERENCE SIGNAL  
When external voltage references are used, the  
comparator module can be configured to have the com-  
parators operate from the same or different reference  
sources. However, threshold detector applications may  
require the same reference. The reference signal must  
be between VSS and VDD and can be applied to either  
pin of the comparator(s).  
Note 1: When reading the Port register, all pins  
configured as analog inputs will read as a  
0’. Pins configured as digital inputs will  
convert an analog input according to the  
Schmitt Trigger input specification.  
2: Analog levels on any pin defined as a  
digital input may cause the input buffer to  
consume more current than is specified.

19.6 Comparator Interrupts  
19.7 Comparator Operation  
During Sleep  
The comparator interrupt flag is set whenever there is  
a change in the output value of either comparator.  
Software will need to maintain information about the  
status of the output bits, as read from CMCON<7:6>, to  
determine the actual change that occurred. The CMIF  
bit (PIR2<6>) is the Comparator Interrupt Flag. The  
CMIF bit must be reset by clearing it. Since it is also  
possible to write a ‘1’ to this register, a simulated  
interrupt may be initiated.  
When a comparator is active and the device is placed  
in Sleep mode, the comparator remains active and the  
interrupt is functional if enabled. This interrupt will  
wake-up the device from Sleep mode, when enabled.  
Each operational comparator will consume additional  
current, as shown in the comparator specifications. To  
minimize power consumption while in Sleep mode, turn  
off the comparators (CM2:CM0 = 111) before entering  
Sleep. If the device wakes up from Sleep, the contents  
of the CMCON register are not affected.  
Both the CMIE bit (PIE2<6>) and the PEIE bit  
(INTCON<6>) must be set to enable the interrupt. In  
addition, the GIE bit (INTCON<7>) must also be set. If  
any of these bits are clear, the interrupt is not enabled,  
though the CMIF bit will still be set if an interrupt  
condition occurs.  
19.8 Effects of a Reset  
A device Reset forces the CMCON register to its Reset  
state, causing the comparator modules to be turned off  
(CM2:CM0 = 111). However, the input pins (RA0  
through RA3) are configured as analog inputs by  
default on device Reset. The I/O configuration for these  
pins is determined by the setting of the PCFG3:PCFG0  
bits (ADCON1<3:0>). Therefore, device current is  
minimized when analog inputs are present at Reset  
time.  
Note:  
If a change in the CMCON register  
(C1OUT or C2OUT) should occur when a  
read operation is being executed (start of  
the Q2 cycle), then the CMIF (PIR  
registers) interrupt flag may not get set.  
The user, in the Interrupt Service Routine, can clear the  
interrupt in the following manner:  
a) Any read or write of CMCON will end the  
mismatch condition.  
b) Clear flag bit CMIF.  
A mismatch condition will continue to set flag bit CMIF.  
Reading CMCON will end the mismatch condition and  
allow flag bit CMIF to be cleared.

range by more than 0.6V in either direction, one of the  
diodes is forward biased and a latch-up condition may  
occur. A maximum source impedance of 10 kΩ is  
recommended for the analog sources. Any external  
component connected to an analog input pin, such as  
a capacitor or a Zener diode, should have very little  
leakage current.  
19.9 Analog Input Connection  
Considerations  
A simplified circuit for an analog input is shown in  
Figure 19-4. Since the analog pins are connected to a  
digital output, they have reverse biased diodes to VDD  
and VSS. The analog input, therefore, must be between  
VSS and VDD. If the input voltage deviates from this

used is selected by the CVRR bit (CVRCON<5>). The  
primary difference between the ranges is the size of the  
steps selected by the CVREF selection bits  
(CVR3:CVR0), with one range offering finer resolution.  
The equations used to calculate the output of the  
comparator voltage reference are as follows:  
20.0 COMPARATOR VOLTAGE  
REFERENCE MODULE  
The comparator voltage reference is a 16-tap resistor  
ladder network that provides a selectable reference  
voltage. Although its primary purpose is to provide a  
reference for the analog comparators, it may also be  
used independently of them.  
If CVRR = 1:  
CVREF = ((CVR3:CVR0)/24) x CVRSRC  
A block diagram of the module is shown in Figure 20-1.  
The resistor ladder is segmented to provide two ranges  
of CVREF values and has a power-down function to  
conserve power when the reference is not being used.  
The module’s supply reference can be provided from  
either device VDD/VSS or an external voltage reference.  
If CVRR = 0:  
CVREF = (CVRSRC x 1/4) + (((CVR3:CVR0)/32) x  
CVRSRC)  
The comparator reference supply voltage can come  
from either VDD and VSS, or the external VREF+ and  
VREF- that are multiplexed with RA2 and RA3. The  
voltage source is selected by the CVRSS bit  
(CVRCON<4>).  
20.1 Configuring the Comparator  
Voltage Reference  
The settling time of the comparator voltage reference  
must be considered when changing the CVREF  
output (see Table 25-3 in Section 25.0 “Electrical  
Characteristics”).  
The voltage reference module is controlled through the  
CVRCON register (Register 20-1). The comparator  
voltage reference provides two ranges of output  
voltage, each with 16 distinct levels. The range to be

20.2 Voltage Reference Accuracy/Error  
20.4 Effects of a Reset  
The full range of voltage reference cannot be realized  
due to the construction of the module. The transistors  
on the top and bottom of the resistor ladder network  
(Figure 20-1) keep CVREF from approaching the refer-  
ence source rails. The voltage reference is derived  
from the reference source; therefore, the CVREF output  
changes with fluctuations in that source. The tested  
absolute accuracy of the voltage reference can be  
found in Section 25.0 “Electrical Characteristics”.  
A device Reset disables the voltage reference by  
clearing bit CVREN (CVRCON<7>). This Reset also  
disconnects the reference from the RA2 pin by clearing  
bit CVROE (CVRCON<6>) and selects the high-voltage  
range by clearing bit CVRR (CVRCON<5>). The CVR  
value select bits are also cleared.  
20.5 Connection Considerations  
The voltage reference module operates independently  
of the comparator module. The output of the reference  
generator may be connected to the RA2 pin if the  
CVROE bit is set. Enabling the voltage reference out-  
put onto RA2 when it is configured as a digital input will  
increase current consumption. Connecting RA2 as a  
digital output with CVRSS enabled will also increase  
current consumption.  
20.3 Operation During Sleep  
When the device wakes up from Sleep through an  
interrupt or a Watchdog Timer time-out, the contents of  
the CVRCON register are not affected. To minimize  
current consumption in Sleep mode, the voltage  
reference should be disabled.  
The RA2 pin can be used as a simple D/A output with  
limited drive capability. Due to the limited current drive  
capability, a buffer must be used on the voltage  
reference output for external connections to VREF.  
Figure 20-2 shows an example buffering technique.

PIC18F2X1X/4X1X  
The High/Low-Voltage Detect Control register  
(Register 21-1) completely controls the operation of the  
HLVD module. This allows the circuitry to be “turned  
off” by the user under software control, which  
minimizes the current consumption for the device.  
21.0 HIGH/LOW-VOLTAGE DETECT  
(HLVD)  
PIC18F2X1X/4X1X devices have a High/Low-Voltage  
Detect module (HLVD). This is a programmable circuit  
that allows the user to specify both a device voltage trip  
point and the direction of change from that point. If the  
device experiences an excursion past the trip point in  
that direction, an interrupt flag is set. If the interrupt is  
enabled, the program execution will branch to the inter-  
rupt vector address and the software can then respond  
to the interrupt.  
The block diagram for the HLVD module is shown in  
Figure 21-1.

The module is enabled by setting the HLVDEN bit.  
Each time that the HLVD module is enabled, the  
circuitry requires some time to stabilize. The IRVST bit  
is a read-only bit and is used to indicate when the circuit  
is stable. The module can only generate an interrupt  
after the circuit is stable and IRVST is set.  
event, depending on the configuration of the module.  
When the supply voltage is equal to the trip point, the  
voltage tapped off of the resistor array is equal to the  
internal reference voltage generated by the voltage  
reference module. The comparator then generates an  
interrupt signal by setting the HLVDIF bit.  
The VDIRMAG bit determines the overall operation of  
the module. When VDIRMAG is cleared, the module  
monitors for drops in VDD below a predetermined set  
point. When the bit is set, the module monitors for rises  
in VDD above the set point.  
The trip point voltage is software programmable to any  
one of 16 values. The trip point is selected by  
programming  
the  
HLVDL3:HLVDL0  
bits  
(HLVDCON<3:0>).  
The HLVD module has an additional feature that allows  
the user to supply the trip voltage to the module from an  
external source. This mode is enabled when bits  
HLVDL3:HLVDL0 are set to ‘1111’. In this state, the  
comparator input is multiplexed from the external input  
pin, HLVDIN. This gives users flexibility because it  
allows them to configure the High/Low-Voltage Detect  
interrupt to occur at any voltage in the valid operating  
range.  
21.1 Operation  
When the HLVD module is enabled, a comparator uses  
an internally generated reference voltage as the set  
point. The set point is compared with the trip point,  
where each node in the resistor divider represents a  
trip point voltage. The “trip point” voltage is the voltage  
level at which the device detects a high or low-voltage

Depending on the application, the HLVD module does  
not need to be operating constantly. To decrease the  
current requirements, the HLVD circuitry may only  
need to be enabled for short periods where the voltage  
is checked. After doing the check, the HLVD module  
may be disabled.  
21.2 HLVD Setup  
The following steps are needed to set up the HLVD  
module:  
1. Disable the module by clearing the HLVDEN bit  
(HLVDCON<4>).  
2. Write the value to the HLVDL3:HLVDL0 bits that  
selects the desired HLVD trip point.  
21.4 HLVD Start-up Time  
3. Set the VDIRMAG bit to detect high voltage  
The internal reference voltage of the HLVD module,  
specified in electrical specification parameter D420,  
may be used by other internal circuitry, such as the  
Programmable Brown-out Reset. If the HLVD or other  
circuits using the voltage reference are disabled to  
lower the device’s current consumption, the reference  
voltage circuit will require time to become stable before  
a low or high-voltage condition can be reliably  
detected. This start-up time, TIRVST, is an interval that  
is independent of device clock speed. It is specified in  
electrical specification parameter 36.  
(VDIRMAG = 1) or low voltage (VDIRMAG = 0).  
4. Enable the HLVD module by setting the  
HLVDEN bit.  
5. Clear the HLVD interrupt flag (PIR2<2>), which  
may have been set from a previous interrupt.  
6. Enable the HLVD interrupt if interrupts are  
desired by setting the HLVDIE and GIE bits  
(PIE<2> and INTCON<7>). An interrupt will not  
be generated until the IRVST bit is set.  
The HLVD interrupt flag is not enabled until TIRVST has  
expired and a stable reference voltage is reached. For  
this reason, brief excursions beyond the set point may  
not be detected during this interval. Refer to  
Figure 21-2 or Figure 21-3.  
21.3 Current Consumption  
When the module is enabled, the HLVD comparator  
and voltage divider are enabled and will consume static  
current. The total current consumption, when enabled,  
is specified in electrical specification parameter D022B.

21.5 Applications  
HIGH/LOW-VOLTAGE  
DETECT APPLICATION  
In many applications, the ability to detect a drop below  
or rise above a particular threshold is desirable. For  
example, the HLVD module could be periodically  
enabled to detect a Universal Serial Bus (USB) attach  
or detach. This assumes the device is powered by a  
lower voltage source than the USB when detached. An  
attach would indicate a high-voltage detect from, for  
example, 3.3V to 5V (the voltage on USB) and vice  
versa for a detach. This feature could save a design a  
few extra components and an attach signal (input pin).  
VA  
VB  
For general battery applications, Figure 21-4 shows a  
possible voltage curve. Over time, the device voltage  
decreases. When the device voltage reaches voltage  
VA, the HLVD logic generates an interrupt at time TA.  
The interrupt could cause the execution of an ISR,  
which would allow the application to perform “house-  
keeping tasks” and perform a controlled shutdown  
before the device voltage exits the valid operating  
range at TB. The HLVD thus would give the application  
a time window, represented by the difference between  
TA and TB, to safely exit.

21.6 Operation During Sleep  
21.7 Effects of a Reset  
When enabled, the HLVD circuitry continues to operate  
during Sleep. If the device voltage crosses the trip  
point, the HLVDIF bit will be set and the device will  
wake-up from Sleep. Device execution will continue  
from the interrupt vector address if interrupts have  
been globally enabled.  
A device Reset forces all registers to their Reset state.  
This forces the HLVD module to be turned off.

PIC18F2X1X/4X1X  
A complete discussion of device Resets and interrupts  
is available in previous sections of this data sheet.  
22.0 SPECIAL FEATURES OF  
THE CPU  
In addition to their Power-up and Oscillator Start-up  
Timers provided for Resets, PIC18F2X1X/4X1X  
devices have a Watchdog Timer, which is either  
permanently enabled via the Configuration bits or  
software controlled (if configured as disabled).  
PIC18F2X1X/4X1X devices include several features  
intended to maximize reliability and minimize cost  
through elimination of external components. These are:  
• Oscillator Selection  
• Resets:  
The inclusion of an internal RC oscillator also provides  
the additional benefits of a Fail-Safe Clock Monitor  
(FSCM) and Two-Speed Start-up. FSCM provides for  
background monitoring of the peripheral clock and  
automatic switchover in the event of its failure. Two-  
Speed Start-up enables code to be executed almost  
immediately on start-up, while the primary clock source  
completes its start-up delays.  
- Power-on Reset (POR)  
- Power-up Timer (PWRT)  
- Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST)  
- Brown-out Reset (BOR)  
• Interrupts  
• Watchdog Timer (WDT)  
• Fail-Safe Clock Monitor  
• Two-Speed Start-up  
• Code Protection  
All of these features are enabled and configured by  
setting the appropriate Configuration register bits.  
22.1 Configuration Bits  
• ID Locations  
• In-Circuit Serial Programming  
The Configuration bits can be programmed (read as  
0’) or left unprogrammed (read as ‘1’) to select various  
device configurations. These bits are mapped starting  
at program memory location 300000h.  
The oscillator can be configured for the application  
depending on frequency, power, accuracy and cost. All  
of the options are discussed in detail in Section 2.0  
“Oscillator Configurations”.  
The user will note that address 300000h is beyond the  
user program memory space. In fact, it belongs to the  
configuration memory space (300000h-3FFFFFh), which  
can only be accessed using table reads.

22.2 Watchdog Timer (WDT)  
Note 1: The CLRWDT and SLEEP instructions  
clear the WDT and postscaler counts  
when executed.  
For PIC18F2X1X/4X1X devices, the WDT is driven by  
the INTRC source. When the WDT is enabled, the  
clock source is also enabled. The nominal WDT period  
is 4 ms and has the same stability as the INTRC  
oscillator.  
2: Changing the setting of the IRCF bits  
(OSCCON<6:4>) clears the WDT and  
postscaler counts.  
The 4 ms period of the WDT is multiplied by a 16-bit  
postscaler. Any output of the WDT postscaler is  
selected by a multiplexer, controlled by bits in Configu-  
ration Register 2H. Available periods range from 4 ms  
to 131.072 seconds (2.18 minutes). The WDT and  
postscaler are cleared when any of the following events  
occur: a SLEEPor CLRWDTinstruction is executed, the  
IRCF bits (OSCCON<6:4>) are changed or a clock  
failure has occurred.  
3: When a CLRWDTinstruction is executed,  
the postscaler count will be cleared.  
22.2.1  
CONTROL REGISTER  
Register 22-14 shows the WDTCON register. This is a  
readable and writable register which contains a control  
bit that allows software to override the WDT Configura-  
tion bit, but only if the Configuration bit has disabled the  
WDT.

PIC18F2X1X/4X1X  
In all other power-managed modes, Two-Speed Start-  
up is not used. The device will be clocked by the  
currently selected clock source until the primary clock  
source becomes available. The setting of the IESO bit  
is ignored.  
22.3 Two-Speed Start-up  
The Two-Speed Start-up feature helps to minimize the  
latency period from oscillator start-up to code execution  
by allowing the microcontroller to use the INTOSC  
oscillator as a clock source until the primary clock  
source is available. It is enabled by setting the IESO  
Configuration bit.  
22.3.1  
SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR  
USING TWO-SPEED START-UP  
Two-Speed Start-up should be enabled only if the  
Primary Oscillator mode is LP, XT, HS or HSPLL  
(Crystal-Based modes). Other sources do not require  
an OST start-up delay; for these, Two-Speed Start-up  
should be disabled.  
While using the INTOSC oscillator in Two-Speed Start-  
up, the device still obeys the normal command  
sequences for entering power-managed modes,  
including multiple SLEEP instructions (refer to  
Section 3.1.4 “Multiple Sleep Commands”). In  
practice, this means that user code can change the  
SCS1:SCS0 bit settings or issue SLEEP instructions  
before the OST times out. This would allow an  
application to briefly wake-up, perform routine  
“housekeeping” tasks and return to Sleep before the  
device starts to operate from the primary oscillator.  
When enabled, Resets and wake-ups from Sleep mode  
cause the device to configure itself to run from the  
internal oscillator block as the clock source, following  
the time-out of the Power-up Timer after a Power-on  
Reset is enabled. This allows almost immediate code  
execution while the primary oscillator starts and the  
OST is running. Once the OST times out, the device  
automatically switches to PRI_RUN mode.  
User code can also check if the primary clock source is  
currently providing the device clocking by checking the  
status of the OSTS bit (OSCCON<3>). If the bit is set,  
the primary oscillator is providing the clock. Otherwise,  
the internal oscillator block is providing the clock during  
wake-up from Reset or Sleep mode.  
To use a higher clock speed on wake-up, the INTOSC  
or postscaler clock sources can be selected to provide  
a higher clock speed by setting bits IRCF2:IRCF0  
immediately after Reset. For wake-ups from Sleep, the  
INTOSC or postscaler clock sources can be selected  
by setting the IRCF2:IRCF0 bits prior to entering Sleep  
mode.

To use a higher clock speed on wake-up, the INTOSC  
or postscaler clock sources can be selected to provide  
a higher clock speed by setting bits, IRCF2:IRCF0,  
immediately after Reset. For wake-ups from Sleep, the  
INTOSC or postscaler clock sources can be selected  
by setting the IRCF2:IRCF0 bits prior to entering Sleep  
mode.  
22.4 Fail-Safe Clock Monitor  
The Fail-Safe Clock Monitor (FSCM) allows the  
microcontroller to continue operation in the event of an  
external oscillator failure by automatically switching the  
device clock to the internal oscillator block. The FSCM  
function is enabled by setting the FCMEN Configuration  
bit.  
The FSCM will detect failures of the primary or second-  
ary clock sources only. If the internal oscillator block  
fails, no failure would be detected, nor would any action  
be possible.  
When FSCM is enabled, the INTRC oscillator runs at  
all times to monitor clocks to peripherals and provide a  
backup clock in the event of a clock failure. Clock  
monitoring (shown in Figure 22-3) is accomplished by  
creating a sample clock signal, which is the INTRC out-  
put divided by 64. This allows ample time between  
FSCM sample clocks for a peripheral clock edge to  
occur. The peripheral device clock and the sample  
clock are presented as inputs to the Clock Monitor latch  
(CM). The CM is set on the falling edge of the device  
clock source, but cleared on the rising edge of the  
sample clock.  
22.4.1  
FSCM AND THE WATCHDOG TIMER  
Both the FSCM and the WDT are clocked by the  
INTRC oscillator. Since the WDT operates with a  
separate divider and counter, disabling the WDT has  
no effect on the operation of the INTRC oscillator when  
the FSCM is enabled.  
As already noted, the clock source is switched to the  
INTOSC clock when a clock failure is detected.  
Depending on the frequency selected by the  
IRCF2:IRCF0 bits, this may mean a substantial change  
in the speed of code execution. If the WDT is enabled  
with a small prescale value, a decrease in clock speed  
allows a WDT time-out to occur and a subsequent  
device Reset. For this reason, fail-safe clock events  
also reset the WDT and postscaler, allowing it to start  
timing from when execution speed was changed and  
decreasing the likelihood of an erroneous time-out.

EXITING FAIL-SAFE OPERATION  
(32 μs)  
488 Hz  
(2.048 ms)  
The fail-safe condition is terminated by either a device  
Reset or by entering a power-managed mode. On  
Reset, the controller starts the primary clock source  
specified in Configuration Register 1H (with any  
required start-up delays that are required for the oscil-  
lator mode, such as OST or PLL timer). The INTOSC  
multiplexer provides the device clock until the primary  
clock source becomes ready (similar to a Two-Speed  
Start-up). The clock source is then switched to the pri-  
mary clock (indicated by the OSTS bit in the OSCCON  
register becoming set). The Fail-Safe Clock Monitor  
then resumes monitoring the peripheral clock.  
Clock  
Failure  
Detected  
Clock failure is tested for on the falling edge of the  
sample clock. If a sample clock falling edge occurs  
while CM is still set, a clock failure has been detected  
(Figure 22-4). This causes the following:  
• the FSCM generates an oscillator fail interrupt by  
setting bit OSCFIF (PIR2<7>);  
• the device clock source is switched to the internal  
oscillator block (OSCCON is not updated to show  
the current clock source – this is the fail-safe  
condition); and  
The primary clock source may never become ready  
during start-up. In this case, operation is clocked by the  
INTOSC multiplexer. The OSCCON register will remain  
in its Reset state until a power-managed mode is  
entered.  
• the WDT is reset.  
During switchover, the postscaler frequency from the  
internal oscillator block may not be sufficiently stable  
for timing sensitive applications. In these cases, it may  
be desirable to select another clock configuration and  
enter an alternate power-managed mode. This can be  
done to attempt a partial recovery or execute a  
controlled shutdown. See Section 3.1.4 “Multiple  
Sleep Commands” and Section 22.3.1 “Special  
Considerations for Using Two-Speed Start-up” for  
more details.

22.4.3  
FSCM INTERRUPTS IN  
22.4.4  
POR OR WAKE FROM SLEEP  
POWER-MANAGED MODES  
The FSCM is designed to detect oscillator failure at any  
point after the device has exited Power-on Reset  
(POR) or low-power Sleep mode. When the primary  
device clock is EC, RC or INTRC modes, monitoring  
can begin immediately following these events.  
By entering a power-managed mode, the clock  
multiplexer selects the clock source selected by the  
OSCCON register. Fail-Safe Monitoring of the power-  
managed clock source resumes in the power-managed  
mode.  
For oscillator modes involving a crystal or resonator  
(HS, HSPLL, LP or XT), the situation is somewhat  
different. Since the oscillator may require a start-up  
time considerably longer than the FCSM sample clock  
time, a false clock failure may be detected. To prevent  
this, the internal oscillator block is automatically config-  
ured as the device clock and functions until the primary  
clock is stable (the OST and PLL timers have timed  
out). This is identical to Two-Speed Start-up mode.  
Once the primary clock is stable, the INTRC returns to  
its role as the FSCM source.  
If an oscillator failure occurs during power-managed  
operation, the subsequent events depend on whether  
or not the oscillator failure interrupt is enabled. If  
enabled (OSCFIF = 1), code execution will be clocked  
by the INTOSC multiplexer. An automatic transition  
back to the failed clock source will not occur.  
If the interrupt is disabled, subsequent interrupts while  
in Idle mode will cause the CPU to begin executing  
instructions while being clocked by the INTOSC  
source.  
Note:  
The same logic that prevents false oscilla-  
tor failure interrupts on POR or wake from  
Sleep, will also prevent the detection of  
the oscillator’s failure to start at all follow-  
ing these events. This can be avoided by  
monitoring the OSTS bit and using a  
timing routine to determine if the oscillator  
is taking too long to start. Even so, no  
oscillator failure interrupt will be flagged.  
As noted in Section 22.3.1 “Special Considerations  
for Using Two-Speed Start-up”, it is also possible to  
select another clock configuration and enter an  
alternate power-managed mode while waiting for the  
primary clock to become stable. When the new power-  
managed mode is selected, the primary clock is  
disabled.

PROGRAM MEMORY  
CODE PROTECTION  
The program memory may be read to or written from  
any location using the table read and table write  
instructions. The Device ID may be read with table  
reads. The Configuration registers may be read and  
written with the table read and table write instructions.  
Note:  
Code protection bits may only be written to  
a ‘0’ from a ‘1’ state. It is not possible to  
write a ‘1’ to a bit in the ‘0’ state. Code  
protection bits are only set to ‘1’ by a full  
chip erase or block erase function. The full  
chip erase and block erase functions can  
only be initiated via ICSP or an external  
programmer.  
In Normal Execution mode, the CPn bits have no direct  
effect. CPn bits inhibit external reads and writes. The  
EBTRn bits control table reads. For a block of user  
memory with the EBTRn bit set to ‘0’, a table read  
instruction that executes from within that block is  
allowed to read. A table read instruction that executes

this feature enabled, some resources are not available  
for general use. Table 22-4 shows which resources are  
required by the background debugger.  
The Configuration registers can be write-protected.

locations are both readable and writable during normal  
execution through the TBLRD instruction; during  
program/verify these locations are readable and  
writable. The ID locations can be read when the device  
is code-protected.

To use the In-Circuit Debugger function of the micro-  
controller, the design must implement In-Circuit Serial  
Programming connections to MCLR/VPP/RE3, VDD,  
VSS, RB7 and RB6. This will interface to the In-Circuit  
Debugger module available from Microchip or one of  
the third party development tool companies.  
22.7  
In-Circuit Serial Programming  
PIC18F2X1X/4X1X microcontrollers can be serially  
programmed 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  
firmware to be programmed.

If Single-Supply ICSP Programming mode will not be  
used, the LVP bit can be cleared. RB5/KBI1/PGM then  
becomes available as the digital I/O pin, RB5. The LVP  
bit may be set or cleared only when using standard  
high-voltage programming (VIHH applied to the MCLR/  
VPP/RE3 pin). Once LVP has been disabled, only the  
standard high-voltage programming is available and  
must be used to program the device.  
22.9 Single-Supply ICSP Programming  
The LVP Configuration bit enables Single-Supply ICSP  
Programming (formerly known as Low-Voltage ICSP  
Programming or LVP). When Single-Supply Program-  
ming is enabled, the microcontroller can be programmed  
without requiring high voltage being applied to the  
MCLR/VPP/RE3 pin, but the RB5/KBI1/PGM pin is then  
dedicated to controlling Program mode entry and is not  
available as a general purpose I/O pin.  
Memory that is not code-protected can be erased using  
either a block erase, or erased row by row, then written  
at any specified VDD. If code-protected memory is to be  
erased, a block erase is required. If a block erase is to  
be performed when using Low-Voltage Programming,  
the device must be supplied with VDD of 4.5V to 5.5V.  
While programming, using Single-Supply Program-  
ming mode, VDD is applied to the MCLR/VPP/RE3 pin  
as in Normal Execution mode. To enter Programming  
mode, VDD is applied to the PGM pin.  
Note 1: High-voltage programming is always  
available, regardless of the state of the  
LVP bit or the PGM pin, by applying VIHH  
to the MCLR pin.  
2: By default, Single-Supply ICSP is  
enabled in unprogrammed devices (as  
supplied from Microchip) and erased  
devices.  
3: When Single-Supply Programming is  
enabled, the RB5 pin can no longer be  
used as a general purpose I/O pin.  
4: When LVP is enabled, externally pull the  
PGM pin to VSS to allow normal program  
execution.

PIC18F2X1X/4X1X  
The literal instructions may use some of the following  
operands:  
23.0 INSTRUCTION SET SUMMARY  
PIC18F2X1X/4X1X devices incorporate the standard  
set of 75 PIC18 core instructions, as well as an  
extended set of 8 new instructions for the optimization  
of code that is recursive or that utilizes a software  
stack. The extended set is discussed later in this  
section.  
• A literal value to be loaded into a file register  
(specified by ‘k’)  
• The desired FSR register to load the literal value  
into (specified by ‘f’)  
• No operand required  
(specified by ‘—’)  
23.1 Standard Instruction Set  
The control instructions may use some of the following  
operands:  
The standard PIC18 instruction set adds many  
enhancements to the previous PIC® MCU instruction  
sets, while maintaining an easy migration from these  
PIC MCU instruction sets. Most instructions are a  
single program memory word (16 bits), but there are  
four instructions that require two program memory  
locations.  
• A program memory address (specified by ‘n’)  
• The mode of the CALLor RETURNinstructions  
(specified by ‘s’)  
• The mode of the table read and table write  
instructions (specified by ‘m’)  
• No operand required  
(specified by ‘—’)  
Each single-word instruction is a 16-bit word divided  
into an opcode, which specifies the instruction type and  
one or more operands, which further specify the  
operation of the instruction.  
All instructions are a single word, except for four  
double-word instructions. These instructions were  
made double-word to contain the required information  
in 32 bits. In the second word, the 4 MSbs are ‘1’s. If  
this second word is executed as an instruction (by  
itself), it will execute as a NOP.  
The instruction set is highly orthogonal and is grouped  
into four basic categories:  
Byte-oriented operations  
Bit-oriented operations  
Literal operations  
All single-word instructions are executed in a single  
instruction cycle, unless a conditional test is true or the  
program counter is changed as a result of the instruc-  
tion. In these cases, the execution takes two instruction  
cycles, with the additional instruction cycle(s) executed  
as a NOP.  
Control operations  
The PIC18 instruction set summary in Table 23-2 lists  
byte-oriented, bit-oriented, literal and control  
operations. Table 23-1 shows the opcode field  
descriptions.  
The double-word instructions execute in two instruction  
cycles.  
Most byte-oriented instructions have three operands:  
One instruction cycle consists of four oscillator periods.  
Thus, for an oscillator frequency of 4 MHz, the normal  
instruction execution time is 1 μs. If a conditional test is  
true, or the program counter is changed as a result of  
an instruction, the instruction execution time is 2 μs.  
Two-word branch instructions (if true) would take 3 μs.  
1. The file register (specified by ‘f’)  
2. The destination of the result (specified by ‘d’)  
3. The accessed memory (specified by ‘a’)  
The file register designator ‘f’ specifies which file regis-  
ter is to be used by the instruction. The destination  
designator ‘d’ specifies where the result of the opera-  
tion is to be placed. If ‘d’ is zero, the result is placed in  
the WREG register. If ‘d’ is one, the result is placed in  
the file register specified in the instruction.  
Figure 23-1 shows the general formats that the instruc-  
tions can have. All examples use the convention ‘nnh’  
to represent a hexadecimal number.  
The Instruction Set Summary, shown in Table 23-2,  
lists the standard instructions recognized by the  
Microchip MPASM™ Assembler.  
All bit-oriented instructions have three operands:  
1. The file register (specified by ‘f’)  
Section 23.1.1 “Standard Instruction Set” provides  
a description of each instruction.  
2. The bit in the file register (specified by ‘b’)  
3. The accessed memory (specified by ‘a’)  
The bit field designator ‘b’ selects the number of the bit  
affected by the operation, while the file register desig-  
nator ‘f’ represents the number of the file in which the  
bit is located.

Note 1: When a Port register is modified as a function of itself (e.g., MOVF PORTB, 1, 0), 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.  
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.  
4: Some instructions are two-word instructions. The second word of these instructions will be executed as a NOP  
unless the first word of the instruction retrieves the information embedded in these 16 bits. This ensures that all  
program memory locations have a valid instruction.

Note 1: When a Port register is modified as a function of itself (e.g., MOVF PORTB, 1, 0), 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.  
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.  
4: Some instructions are two-word instructions. The second word of these instructions will be executed as a NOP  
unless the first word of the instruction retrieves the information embedded in these 16 bits. This ensures that all  
program memory locations have a valid instruction.

Description:  
GOTOallows an unconditional branch  
anywhere within entire  
2-Mbyte memory range. The 20-bit  
value ‘k’ is loaded into PC<20:1>.  
GOTOis always a two-cycle  
instruction.  
Description:  
The contents of register ‘f’ are  
incremented. If ‘d’ is ‘0’, the result is  
placed in W. If ‘d’ is ‘1’, the result is  
placed back in register ‘f’ (default).  
If ‘a’ is ‘0’, the Access Bank is selected.  
If ‘a’ is ‘1’, the BSR is used to select the  
GPR bank (default).  
If ‘a’ is ‘0’ and the extended instruction  
set is enabled, this instruction operates  
in Indexed Literal Offset Addressing  
mode whenever f 95 (5Fh). See  
Section 23.2.3 “Byte-Oriented and  
Bit-Oriented Instructions in Indexed

The TOS value is pulled off the return  
stack and is discarded. The TOS value  
then becomes the previous value that  
was pushed onto the return stack.  
This instruction is provided to enable  
the user to properly manage the return  
stack to incorporate a software stack.  
The PC + 2 is pushed onto the top of  
the return stack. The previous TOS  
value is pushed down on the stack.  
This instruction allows implementing a  
software stack by modifying TOS and  
then pushing it onto the return stack.

placed in register ‘f’ (default).  
If ‘a’ is ‘0’, the Access Bank is selected.  
If ‘a’ is ‘1’, the BSR is used to select the  
GPR bank (default).  
If ‘a’ is ‘0’ and the extended instruction  
set is enabled, this instruction operates  
in Indexed Literal Offset Addressing  
mode whenever f 95 (5Fh). See  
Section 23.2.3 “Byte-Oriented and  
Bit-Oriented Instructions in Indexed  
Literal Offset Mode” for details.

PIC18F2X1X/4X1X  
A summary of the instructions in the extended instruc-  
tion set is provided in Table 23-3. Detailed descriptions  
are provided in Section 23.2.2 “Extended Instruction  
Set”. The opcode field descriptions in Table 23-1  
(page 258) apply to both the standard and extended  
PIC18 instruction sets.  
23.2 Extended Instruction Set  
In addition to the standard 75 instructions of the PIC18  
instruction set, PIC18F2X1X/4X1X devices also  
provide an optional extension to the core CPU function-  
ality. The added features include eight additional  
instructions that augment indirect and indexed  
addressing operations and the implementation of  
Indexed Literal Offset Addressing mode for many of the  
standard PIC18 instructions.  
Note:  
The instruction set extension and the  
Indexed Literal Offset Addressing mode  
were designed for optimizing applications  
written in C. The user may likely never use  
these instructions directly in assembler.  
The syntax for these commands is pro-  
vided as a reference for users who may be  
reviewing code that has been generated  
by a compiler.  
The additional features of the extended instruction set  
are disabled by default. To enable them, users must set  
the XINST Configuration bit.  
The instructions in the extended set (with the exception  
of CALLW, MOVSFand MOVSS) can all be classified as  
literal operations, which either manipulate the File  
Select Registers, or use them for indexed addressing.  
Two of the instructions, ADDFSR and SUBFSR, each  
have an additional special instantiation for using FSR2.  
These versions (ADDULNK and SUBULNK) allow for  
automatic return after execution.  
23.2.1  
EXTENDED INSTRUCTION SYNTAX  
Most of the extended instructions use indexed  
arguments, using one of the File Select Registers and  
some offset to specify a source or destination register.  
When an argument for an instruction serves as part of  
indexed addressing, it is enclosed in square brackets  
(“[ ]”). This is done to indicate that the argument is used  
as an index or offset. The MPASM™ Assembler will  
flag an error if it determines that an index or offset value  
is not bracketed.  
The extended instructions are specifically implemented  
to optimize re-entrant program code (that is, code that  
is recursive or that uses a software stack) written in  
high-level languages, particularly C. Among other  
things, they allow users working in high-level  
languages to perform certain operations on data  
structures more efficiently. These include:  
When the extended instruction set is enabled, brackets  
are also used to indicate index arguments in byte-  
oriented and bit-oriented instructions. This is in addition  
to other changes in their syntax. For more details, see  
Section 23.2.3.1 “Extended Instruction Syntax with  
Standard PIC18 Commands”.  
• Dynamic allocation and deallocation of software  
stack space when entering and leaving  
subroutines  
• Function Pointer invocation  
• Software Stack Pointer manipulation  
Note:  
In the past, square brackets have been  
used to denote optional arguments in the  
PIC18 and earlier instruction sets. In this  
text and going forward, optional  
arguments are denoted by braces (“{ }”).  
• Manipulation of variables located in a software  
stack

Description  
First, the return address (PC + 2) is  
pushed onto the return stack. Next, the  
contents of W are written to PCL; the  
existing value is discarded. Then the  
contents of PCLATH and PCLATU are  
latched into PCH and PCU,  
respectively. The second cycle is  
executed as a NOPinstruction while the  
new next instruction is fetched.  
Description:  
The contents of the source register are  
moved to destination register ‘f ’. The  
d
actual address of the source register is  
determined by adding the 7-bit literal  
offset ‘z ’ in the first word to the value of  
s
FSR2. The address of the destination  
register is specified by the 12-bit literal  
‘f ’ in the second word. Both addresses  
d
can be anywhere in the 4096-byte data  
space (000h to FFFh).  
The MOVSFinstruction cannot use the  
PCL, TOSU, TOSH or TOSL as the  
destination register.  
If the resultant source address points to  
an indirect addressing register, the  
value returned will be 00h.  
Unlike CALL, there is no option to  
update W, STATUS or BSR.

23.2.3  
BYTE-ORIENTED AND  
BIT-ORIENTED INSTRUCTIONS IN  
INDEXED LITERAL OFFSET MODE  
23.2.3.1  
Extended Instruction Syntax with  
Standard PIC18 Commands  
When the extended instruction set is enabled, the file  
register argument, ‘f’, in the standard byte-oriented and  
bit-oriented commands is replaced with the literal offset  
value, ‘k’. As already noted, this occurs only when ‘f’ is  
less than or equal to 5Fh. When an offset value is used,  
it must be indicated by square brackets (“[ ]”). As with  
the extended instructions, the use of brackets indicates  
to the compiler that the value is to be interpreted as an  
index or an offset. Omitting the brackets, or using a  
value greater than 5Fh within brackets, will generate an  
error in the MPASM Assembler.  
Note: Enabling the PIC18 instruction set  
extension may cause legacy applications  
to behave erratically or fail entirely.  
In addition to eight new commands in the extended set,  
enabling the extended instruction set also enables  
Indexed Literal Offset Addressing mode (Section 5.5.1  
“Indexed Addressing with Literal Offset”). This has  
a significant impact on the way that many commands of  
the standard PIC18 instruction set are interpreted.  
When the extended set is disabled, addresses embed-  
ded in opcodes are treated as literal memory locations:  
either as a location in the Access Bank (‘a’ = 0) or in a  
GPR bank designated by the BSR (‘a’ = 1). When the  
extended instruction set is enabled and ‘a’ = 0,  
however, a file register argument of 5Fh or less is  
interpreted as an offset from the pointer value in FSR2  
and not as a literal address. For practical purposes, this  
means that all instructions that use the Access RAM bit  
as an argument – that is, all byte-oriented and bit-  
oriented instructions, or almost half of the core PIC18  
If the index argument is properly bracketed for Indexed  
Literal Offset Addressing, the Access RAM argument is  
never specified; it will automatically be assumed to be  
0’. This is in contrast to standard operation (extended  
instruction set disabled) when ‘a’ is set on the basis of  
the target address. Declaring the Access RAM bit in  
this mode will also generate an error in the MPASM  
Assembler.  
The destination argument, ‘d’, functions as before.  
In the latest versions of the MPASM Assembler,  
language support for the extended instruction set must  
be explicitly invoked. This is done with either the  
command line option, /y, or the PE directive in the  
source listing.  
instructions  
– may behave differently when the  
extended instruction set is enabled.  
When the content of FSR2 is 00h, the boundaries of the  
Access RAM are essentially remapped to their original  
values. This may be useful in creating backward  
compatible code. If this technique is used, it may be  
necessary to save the value of FSR2 and restore it  
when moving back and forth between C and assembly  
routines in order to preserve the Stack Pointer. Users  
must also keep in mind the syntax requirements of the  
extended instruction set (see Section 23.2.3.1  
“Extended Instruction Syntax with Standard PIC18  
Commands”).  
23.2.4  
CONSIDERATIONS WHEN  
ENABLING THE EXTENDED  
INSTRUCTION SET  
It is important to note that the extensions to the instruc-  
tion set may not be beneficial to all users. In particular,  
users who are not writing code that uses a software  
stack may not benefit from using the extensions to the  
instruction set.  
Although the Indexed Literal Offset Addressing mode  
can be very useful for dynamic stack and pointer  
manipulation, it can also be very annoying if a simple  
arithmetic operation is carried out on the wrong  
register. Users who are accustomed to the PIC18  
programming must keep in mind that when the  
extended instruction set is enabled, register addresses  
of 5Fh or less are used for Indexed Literal Offset  
Addressing.  
Additionally, the Indexed Literal Offset Addressing  
mode may create issues with legacy applications  
written to the PIC18 assembler. This is because  
instructions in the legacy code may attempt to address  
registers in the Access Bank below 5Fh. Since these  
addresses are interpreted as literal offsets to FSR2  
when the instruction set extension is enabled, the  
application may read or write to the wrong data  
addresses.  
Representative examples of typical byte-oriented and  
bit-oriented instructions in the Indexed Literal Offset  
Addressing mode are provided on the following page to  
show how execution is affected. The operand condi-  
tions shown in the examples are applicable to all  
instructions of these types.  
When porting an application to the PIC18F2X1X/4X1X,  
it is very important to consider the type of code. A large,  
re-entrant application that is written in ‘C’ and would  
benefit from efficient compilation will do well when  
using the instruction set extensions. Legacy applica-  
tions that heavily use the Access Bank will most likely  
not benefit from using the extended instruction set.

PIC18F2X1X/4X1X  
To develop software for the extended instruction set,  
the user must enable support for the instructions and  
the Indexed Addressing mode in their language tool(s).  
Depending on the environment being used, this may be  
done in several ways:  
23.2.5  
SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS WITH  
MICROCHIP MPLAB® IDE TOOLS  
The latest versions of Microchip’s software tools have  
been designed to fully support the extended instruction  
set of the PIC18F2X1X/4X1X family of devices. This  
includes the MPLAB C18  
assembly language and  
Development Environment (IDE).  
• A menu option, or dialog box within the  
environment, that allows the user to configure the  
language tool and its settings for the project  
C
compiler, MPASM  
MPLAB Integrated  
• A command line option  
When selecting target device for software  
a
• A directive in the source code  
development, MPLAB IDE will automatically set default  
Configuration bits for that device. The default setting for  
the XINST Configuration bit is ‘0’, disabling the  
extended instruction set and Indexed Literal Offset  
Addressing mode. For proper execution of applications  
developed to take advantage of the extended  
instruction set, XINST must be set during  
programming.  
These options vary between different compilers,  
assemblers and development environments. Users are  
encouraged to review the documentation accompany-  
ing their development systems for the appropriate  
information.

generates relocatable object files that can then be  
archived or linked with other relocatable object files and  
archives to create an executable file. Notable features  
of the assembler include:  
The MPASM Assembler generates relocatable object  
files for the MPLINK Object Linker, Intel® standard HEX  
files, MAP files to detail memory usage and symbol  
reference, absolute LST files that contain source lines  
and generated machine code and COFF files for  
debugging.  
The MPASM Assembler features include:  
• Integration into MPLAB IDE projects  
• Support for the entire dsPIC30F instruction set  
• Support for fixed-point and floating-point data  
• Command line interface  
• User-defined macros to streamline

24.6 MPLAB SIM Software Simulator  
24.3 MPLAB C18 and MPLAB C30  
C Compilers  
The MPLAB SIM Software Simulator allows code  
development in a PC-hosted environment by simulat-  
ing the PIC MCUs and dsPIC® DSCs on an instruction  
level. On any given instruction, the data areas can be  
examined or modified and stimuli can be applied from  
a comprehensive stimulus controller. Registers can be  
logged to files for further run-time analysis. The trace  
buffer and logic analyzer display extend the power of  
the simulator to record and track program execution,  
actions on I/O, most peripherals and internal registers.  
The MPLAB C18 and MPLAB C30 Code Development  
Systems are complete ANSI  
C
compilers for  
Microchip’s PIC18 and PIC24 families of microcontrol-  
lers and the dsPIC30 and dsPIC33 family of digital sig-  
nal controllers. These compilers provide powerful  
integration capabilities, superior code optimization and  
ease of use not found with other compilers.  
For easy source level debugging, the compilers provide  
symbol information that is optimized to the MPLAB IDE  
debugger.  
The MPLAB SIM Software Simulator fully supports  
symbolic debugging using the MPLAB C18 and  
MPLAB C30 C Compilers, and the MPASM and  
MPLAB ASM30 Assemblers. The software simulator  
offers the flexibility to develop and debug code outside  
of the hardware laboratory environment, making it an  
excellent, economical software development tool.  
24.4 MPLINK Object Linker/  
MPLIB Object Librarian  
The MPLINK Object Linker combines relocatable  
objects created by the MPASM Assembler and the  
MPLAB C18 C Compiler. It can link relocatable objects  
from precompiled libraries, using directives from a  
linker script.  
The MPLIB Object Librarian manages the creation and  
modification of library files of precompiled code. When  
a routine from a library is called from a source file, only  
the modules that contain that routine will be linked in  
with the application. This allows large libraries to be  
used efficiently in many different applications.  
The object linker/library features include:  
• Efficient linking of single libraries instead of many  
smaller files  
• Enhanced code maintainability by grouping  
related modules together  
• Flexible creation of libraries with easy module  
listing, replacement, deletion and extraction

Ambient temperature under bias.............................................................................................................-40°C to +125°C  
Storage temperature .............................................................................................................................. -65°C to +150°C  
Voltage on any pin with respect to VSS (except VDD and MCLR) ................................................... -0.3V to (VDD + 0.3V)  
Voltage on VDD with respect to VSS ......................................................................................................... -0.3V to +7.5V  
Voltage on MCLR with respect to VSS (Note 2) ......................................................................................... 0V to +13.25V  
Total power dissipation (Note 1) ...............................................................................................................................1.0W  
Maximum current out of VSS pin ...........................................................................................................................300 mA  
Maximum current into VDD pin ..............................................................................................................................250 mA  
Input clamp current, IIK (VI < 0 or VI > VDD)...................................................................................................................... 20 mA  
Output clamp current, IOK (VO < 0 or VO > VDD) .............................................................................................................. 20 mA  
Maximum output current sunk by any I/O pin..........................................................................................................25 mA  
Maximum output current sourced by any I/O pin ....................................................................................................25 mA  
Maximum current sunk by all ports .......................................................................................................................200 mA  
Maximum current sourced by all ports ..................................................................................................................200 mA  
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/VPP/RE3 pin, inducing currents greater than 80 mA, may cause  
latch-up. Thus, a series resistor of 50-100Ω should be used when applying a “low” level to the MCLR/VPP/  
RE3 pin, rather than pulling this pin directly to VSS.  
NOTICE: Stresses above those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the  
device. This is a stress rating only and functional operation of the device at those or any other conditions above those  
indicated in the operation listings of this specification is not implied. Exposure to maximum rating conditions for  
extended periods may affect device reliability.

Note 1: The power-down current in Sleep mode does not depend on the oscillator type. Power-down current is measured  
with the part in Sleep mode, with all I/O pins in high-impedance state and tied to VDD or VSS and all features that  
add delta current disabled (such as WDT, Timer1 Oscillator, BOR, etc.).  
2: The supply current is mainly a function of operating voltage, frequency and mode. Other factors, such as I/O pin  
loading and switching rate, oscillator type and circuit, internal code execution pattern and temperature, also have  
an impact on the current consumption.  
The test conditions for all IDD measurements in active operation mode are:  
OSC1 = external square wave, from rail-to-rail; all I/O pins tri-stated, pulled to VDD;  
MCLR = VDD; WDT enabled/disabled as specified.  
3: For RC oscillator configurations, current through REXT is not included. The current through the resistor can be  
estimated by the formula Ir = VDD/2REXT (mA) with REXT in kΩ.  
4: Low-power Timer1 oscillator selected.  
5: BOR and HLVD enable internal band gap reference. With both modules enabled, current consumption will be less  
than the sum of both specifications.

2: The supply current is mainly a function of operating voltage, frequency and mode. Other factors, such as I/O pin  
loading and switching rate, oscillator type and circuit, internal code execution pattern and temperature, also have  
an impact on the current consumption.  
The test conditions for all IDD measurements in active operation mode are:  
OSC1 = external square wave, from rail-to-rail; all I/O pins tri-stated, pulled to VDD;  
MCLR = VDD; WDT enabled/disabled as specified.  
3: For RC oscillator configurations, current through REXT is not included. The current through the resistor can be  
estimated by the formula Ir = VDD/2REXT (mA) with REXT in kΩ.  
4: Low-power Timer1 oscillator selected.  
5: BOR and HLVD enable internal band gap reference. With both modules enabled, current consumption will be less  
than the sum of both specifications.

Note 1: Instruction cycle period (TCY) equals four times the input oscillator time base period for all configurations  
except PLL. 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/CLKI pin. When an external clock  
input is used, the “max.” cycle time limit is “DC” (no clock) for all devices.

Note 1: As a transmitter, the device must provide this internal minimum delay time to bridge the undefined region  
(min. 300 ns) of the falling edge of SCL to avoid unintended generation of Start or Stop conditions.  
2: A Fast mode I2C bus device can be used in a Standard mode I2C bus system, but the requirement  
TSU:DAT 250 ns must then be met. This will automatically be the case if the device does not stretch the  
LOW period of the SCL signal. If such a device does stretch the LOW period of the SCL signal, it must  
output the next data bit to the SDA line, TR max. + TSU:DAT = 1000 + 250 = 1250 ns (according to the  
Standard mode I2C bus specification), before the SCL line is released.

Note 1: Maximum pin capacitance = 10 pF for all I2C pins.  
2: A Fast mode I2C bus device can be used in a Standard mode I2C bus system, but parameter 107 250 ns  
must then be met. This will automatically be the case if the device does not stretch the LOW period of the  
SCL signal. If such a device does stretch the LOW period of the SCL signal, it must output the next data bit  
to the SDA line, parameter 102 + parameter 107 = 1000 + 250 = 1250 ns (for 100 kHz mode), before the  
SCL line is released.

APPENDIX C: CONVERSION  
CONSIDERATIONS  
APPENDIX D: MIGRATION FROM  
BASELINE TO  
ENHANCED DEVICES  
This appendix discusses the considerations for  
converting from previous versions of a device to the  
ones listed in this data sheet. Typically, these changes  
are due to the differences in the process technology  
used. An example of this type of conversion is from a  
PIC16C74A to a PIC16C74B.  
This section discusses how to migrate from a Baseline  
device (i.e., PIC16C5X) to an Enhanced MCU device  
(i.e., PIC18FXXX).  
The following are the list of modifications over the  
PIC16C5X microcontroller family:

APPENDIX F: MIGRATION FROM  
HIGH-END TO  
ENHANCED DEVICES  
ENHANCED DEVICES  
A detailed discussion of the differences between the  
mid-range MCU devices (i.e., PIC16CXXX) and the  
enhanced devices (i.e., PIC18FXXX) is provided in  
AN716, “Migrating Designs from PIC16C74A/74B to  
PIC18C442.” The changes discussed, while device  
specific, are generally applicable to all mid-range to  
enhanced device migrations.  
A detailed discussion of the migration pathway and  
differences between the high-end MCU devices (i.e.,  
PIC17CXXX) and the enhanced devices (i.e.,  
PIC18FXXX) is provided in AN726, “PIC17CXXX to  
PIC18CXXX Migration.” This Application Note is  
available as Literature Number DS00726.
