NOTES:  
DS39778D-page 8  
© 2009 Microchip Technology Inc.  
PIC18F87J11 FAMILY  
• A Phase Lock Loop (PLL) frequency multiplier,  
available to all of the oscillator modes, which  
allows a wide range of clock speeds from 16 MHz  
to 40 MHz  
1.0  
DEVICE OVERVIEW  
This document contains device-specific information for  
the following devices:  
The internal oscillator block provides a stable reference  
source that gives the family additional features for  
robust operation:  
• PIC18F66J11  
• PIC18F66J16  
• PIC18F67J11  
• PIC18F86J11  
• PIC18F86J16  
• PIC18F87J11  
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, allowing for continued low-speed  
operation or a safe application shutdown.  
This family introduces a line of low-voltage, general  
purpose microcontrollers with the main traditional  
advantage of all PIC18 microcontrollers – namely, high  
computational performance and a rich feature set – at  
an extremely competitive price point. These features  
make the PIC18F87J11 Family a logical choice for  
many high-performance applications, where an  
extended peripheral feature set is required, and cost is  
a primary consideration.  
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.  
1.1  
Core Features  
1.1.3  
EXPANDED MEMORY  
The PIC18F87J11 family provides ample room for  
application code, from 64 Kbytes to 128 Kbytes of code  
space. The Flash cells for program memory are rated  
to last up to 10,000 erase/write cycles. Data retention  
without refresh is conservatively estimated to be  
greater than 20 years.  
1.1.1  
nanoWatt TECHNOLOGY  
All of the devices in the PIC18F87J11 family incorporate  
a range of features that can significantly reduce power  
consumption during operation. Key items include:  
Alternate Run Modes: By clocking the controller  
from the Timer1 source or the internal RC oscilla-  
tor, power consumption during code execution  
can be reduced by as much as 90%.  
The Flash program memory is readable, writable, and  
during normal operation, the PIC18F87J11 Family also  
provides plenty of room for dynamic application data  
with up to 3930 bytes of data RAM.  
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.  
1.1.4  
EXTERNAL MEMORY BUS  
In the event that 128 Kbytes of memory are inadequate  
for an application, the 80-pin members of the  
PIC18F87J11 Family also implement an External Mem-  
ory Bus (EMB). This allows the controller’s internal  
program counter to address a memory space of up to  
2 Mbytes, permitting a level of data access that few  
8-bit devices can claim. This allows additional memory  
options, including:  
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.  
1.1.2  
OSCILLATOR OPTIONS AND  
FEATURES  
• Using combinations of on-chip and external  
memory up to the 2-Mbyte limit  
• Using external Flash memory for reprogrammable  
application code or large data tables  
All of the devices in the PIC18F87J11 Family offer four  
different oscillator options, allowing users a range of  
choices in developing application hardware. These  
include:  
• Using external RAM devices for storing large  
amounts of variable data  
• Two Crystal modes, using crystals or ceramic  
resonators.  
1.1.5  
EXTENDED INSTRUCTION SET  
The PIC18F87J11 Family implements the optional  
extension to the PIC18 instruction set, adding 8 new  
instructions and an Indexed Addressing mode.  
Enabled as a device configuration option, the extension  
has been specifically designed to optimize re-entrant  
application code originally developed in high-level  
languages, such as ‘C’.  
• Two External Clock modes, offering the option of  
a divide-by-4 clock output.  
• An internal oscillator block which provides an  
8 MHz clock and an INTRC source (approxi-  
mately 31 kHz, stable over temperature and VDD),  
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 an  
oscillator pin for use as an additional general  
purpose I/O.

PIC18F87J11 FAMILY  
1.1.6  
EASY MIGRATION  
1.3  
Details on Individual Family  
Members  
Regardless of the memory size, all devices share the  
same rich set of peripherals, allowing for a smooth  
migration path as applications grow and evolve.  
Devices in the PIC18F87J11 Family are available in  
64-pin and 80-pin packages. Block diagrams for the  
two groups are shown in Figure 1-1 and Figure 1-2.  
The devices are differentiated from each other in three  
ways:  
The consistent pinout scheme used throughout the  
entire family also aids in migrating to the next larger  
device. This is true when moving between the 64-pin  
members, between the 80-pin members, or even  
jumping from 64-pin to 80-pin devices.  
1. Flash program memory (three sizes, ranging  
from 64 Kbytes for PIC18FX6J11 devices to  
128 Kbytes for PIC18FX7J11 devices).  
The PIC18F87J11 Family is also pin compatible with  
other PIC18 families, such as the PIC18F87J10,  
PIC18F85J11, PIC18F8720 and PIC18F8722. This  
allows a new dimension to the evolution of applications,  
allowing developers to select different price points  
within Microchip’s PIC18 portfolio, while maintaining  
the same feature set.  
2. I/O ports (7 bidirectional ports on 64-pin devices,  
9 bidirectional ports on 80-pin devices).  
3. A/D input channels (11 on 64-pin devices, 15 on  
80-pin devices).  
All other features for devices in this family are identical.  
These are summarized in Table 1-1 and Table 1-2.  
The pinouts for all devices are listed in Table 1-3 and  
Table 1-4.  
1.2  
Other Special Features  
Communications: The PIC18F87J11 Family  
incorporates a range of serial and parallel com-  
munication peripherals. These devices all include  
2 independent Enhanced USARTs and 2 Master  
SSP modules, capable of both SPI and I2C™  
(Master and Slave) modes of operation. The  
devices also have a parallel port and can be  
configured to function as either a Parallel Master  
Port or as a Parallel Slave Port.  
CCP Modules: All devices in the family incorporate  
two Capture/Compare/PWM (CCP) modules and  
three Enhanced CCP (ECCP) modules to maximize  
flexibility in control applications. Up to four different  
time bases may be used to perform several  
different operations at once. Each of the three  
ECCP modules offers up to four PWM outputs,  
allowing for a total of 12 PWMs. The ECCPs also  
offer many beneficial features, including polarity  
selection, programmable dead time, auto-shutdown  
and restart, and Half-Bridge and Full-Bridge Output  
modes.  
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, reducing 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 27.0 “Electrical Characteristics” for  
time-out periods.

CONFIGURATIONS  
In addition, PIC18F87J11 Family devices can switch  
between different clock sources, either under software  
control or automatically under certain conditions. This  
allows for additional power savings by managing  
device clock speed in real time without resetting the  
application.  
Oscillator Types  
The PIC18F87J11 family of devices can be operated in  
eight different oscillator modes:  
1. HS  
High-Speed Crystal/Resonator

The OSCTUNE register (Register 2-2) controls the  
tuning and operation of the internal oscillator block. It  
also implements the PLLEN bits which control the  
operation of the Phase Locked Loop (PLL) (see  
Section 2.4.3 “PLL Frequency Multiplier”).  
2.2  
Control Registers  
The OSCCON register (Register 2-1) controls the main  
aspects of the device clock’s operation. It selects the  
oscillator type to be used, which of the power-managed  
modes to invoke and the output frequency of the  
INTOSC source. It also provides status on the oscillators.

Clock Sources and  
Oscillator Switching  
Essentially, PIC18F87J11 Family devices have three  
independent clock sources:  
In addition to being a primary clock source in some cir-  
cumstances, the internal oscillator 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 internal oscillator block is discussed in  
more detail in Section 2.5 “Internal Oscillator  
Block”.  
• Primary oscillators  
• Secondary oscillators  
• Internal oscillator  
The primary oscillators can be thought of as the main  
device oscillators. These are any external oscillators  
connected to the OSC1 and OSC2 pins, and include  
the External Crystal and Resonator modes and the  
External Clock modes. If selected by the  
FOSC2:FOSC0 Configuration bits, the internal  
oscillator block (either the 31 kHz INTRC or the 8 MHz  
INTOSC source) may be considered a primary  
oscillator. The particular mode is defined by the FOSC  
Configuration bits. The details of these modes are  
covered in Section 2.4 “External Oscillator Modes”.  
The PIC18F87J11 Family includes features that allow  
the device clock source to be switched from the main  
oscillator, chosen by device configuration, to one of the  
alternate clock sources. When an alternate clock  
source is enabled, various power-managed operating  
modes are available.  
The secondary oscillators are external clock sources  
that are 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.  
PIC18F87J11 Family devices offer the Timer1 oscillator  
as a secondary oscillator source. This oscillator, in all  
power-managed modes, is often the time base for

2.3.1  
CLOCK SOURCE SELECTION  
2.3.1.1  
System Clock Selection and Device  
Resets  
The System Clock Select bits, SCS1:SCS0  
(OSCCON<1:0>), select the clock source. The avail-  
able clock sources are the primary clock defined by the  
FOSC2:FOSC0 Configuration bits, the secondary  
clock (Timer1 oscillator) and the internal oscillator. The  
clock source changes after one or more of the bits are  
written to, following a brief clock transition interval.  
Since the SCS bits are cleared on all forms of Reset,  
this means the primary oscillator defined by the  
FOSC2:FOSC0 Configuration bits is used as the  
primary clock source on device Resets. This could  
either be the internal oscillator block by itself, or one of  
the other primary clock source (HS, EC, HSPLL,  
ECPLL1/2 or INTPLL1/2).  
The OSTS (OSCCON<3>) and T1RUN (T1CON<6>)  
bits indicate which clock source is currently providing  
the device clock. The OSTS bit indicates that the  
Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) has timed out and the  
primary clock is providing the device clock in primary  
clock modes. The T1RUN bit indicates when the  
Timer1 oscillator is providing the device clock in sec-  
ondary clock modes. In power-managed modes, only  
one of these bits will be set at any time. If neither of  
these bits is set, the INTRC is providing the clock, or  
the internal oscillator has just started and is not yet  
stable.  
In those cases when the internal oscillator block, with-  
out PLL, is the default clock on Reset, the Fast RC  
oscillator (INTOSC) will be used as the device clock  
source. It will initially start at 4 MHz; the postscaler  
selection that corresponds to the Reset value of the  
IRCF2:IRCF0 bits (‘110’).  
Regardless of which primary oscillator is selected,  
INTRC will always be enabled on device power-up. It  
serves as the clock source until the device has loaded  
its configuration values from memory. It is at this point  
that the FOSC Configuration bits are read and the  
oscillator selection of the operational mode is made.  
The IDLEN bit determines if the device goes into Sleep  
mode or one of the Idle modes when the SLEEP  
instruction is executed.  
Note that either the primary clock source, or the internal  
oscillator, will have two bit setting options for the possible  
values of the SCS1:SCS0 bits at any given time.  
The use of the flag and control bits in the OSCCON  
register is discussed in more detail in Section 3.0  
“Power-Managed Modes”.  
2.3.2  
OSCILLATOR TRANSITIONS  
PIC18F87J11 family devices contain circuitry to  
prevent clock “glitches” when switching between clock  
sources. A short pause in the device clock occurs dur-  
ing 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.  
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 when executing a  
SLEEPinstruction will be ignored.  
Clock transitions are discussed in greater detail in  
Section 3.1.2 “Entering Power-Managed Modes”.  
2: It is recommended that the Timer1  
oscillator be operating and stable before  
executing the SLEEPinstruction or a very  
long delay may occur while the Timer1  
oscillator starts.

EXTERNAL CLOCK INPUT  
(EC MODES)  
2.4.3.1  
HSPLL and ECPLL Modes  
The HSPLL and ECPLL modes provide the ability to  
selectively run the device at 4 times the external  
oscillating source to produce frequencies up to  
40 MHz.  
The EC and ECPLL 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.  
The PLL is enabled by programming the  
FOSC2:FOSC0 Configuration bits to either ‘111’ (for  
ECPLL) or ‘101’ (for HSPLL). In addition, the PLLEN bit  
(OSCTUNE<6>) must also be set. Clearing PLLEN  
disables the PLL, regardless of the chosen oscillator  
configuration. It also allows additional flexibility for  
controlling the application’s clock speed in software.  
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.

Internal Oscillator Block  
The PIC18F87J11 Family of devices includes an  
internal oscillator block which generates two different  
clock signals; either can be used as the microcon-  
troller’s clock source. This may eliminate the need for  
an external oscillator circuit on the OSC1 and/or OSC2  
pins.

The main output is the Fast RC oscillator, or INTOSC,  
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. INTOSC is enabled when a clock frequency  
from 125 kHz to 8 MHz is selected. The INTOSC out-  
put can also be enabled when 31 kHz is selected,  
depending on the INTSRC bit (OSCTUNE<7>).

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:  
2.5.2  
INTPLL MODES  
The 4x Phase Locked Loop (PLL) can be used with the  
internal oscillator block to produce faster device clock  
speeds than are normally possible with the internal  
oscillator sources. When enabled, the PLL produces a  
clock speed of 16 MHz or 32 MHz.  
• Power-up Timer  
• Fail-Safe Clock Monitor  
• Watchdog Timer  
PLL operation is controlled through software. The con-  
trol bit, PLLEN (OSCTUNE<6>), is used to enable or  
disable its operation. The PLL is available only to  
INTOSC when the device is configured to use one of  
the INTPLL modes as the primary clock source  
(FOSC2:FOSC0 = 011 or 010). Additionally, the PLL  
will only function when the selected output frequency is  
either 4 MHz or 8 MHz (OSCCON<6:4> = 111or 110).  
• Two-Speed Start-up  
These features are discussed in greater detail in  
Section 24.0 “Special Features of the CPU”.  
The clock source frequency (INTOSC direct, INTOSC  
with postscaler or INTRC direct) is selected by config-  
uring the IRCF bits of the OSCCON register. The  
default frequency on device Resets is 4 MHz.  
Like the INTIO modes, there are two distinct INTPLL  
modes available:  
2.5.1  
INTIO MODES  
• In INTPLL1 mode, the OSC2 pin outputs FOSC/4,  
while OSC1 functions as RA7 for digital input and  
output. Externally, this is identical in appearance  
to INTIO1 (Figure 2-6).  
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  
oscillator configurations, which are determined by the  
FOSC Configuration bits, are available:  
• In INTPLL2 mode, OSC1 functions as RA7 and  
OSC2 functions as RA6, both for digital input and  
output. Externally, this is identical to INTIO2  
(Figure 2-7).  
• In INTIO1 mode, the OSC2 pin outputs FOSC/4,  
while OSC1 functions as RA7 (see Figure 2-6) for  
digital input and output.  
• In INTIO2 mode, OSC1 functions as RA7 and  
OSC2 functions as RA6 (see Figure 2-7), both for  
digital input and output.

2.5.3  
INTERNAL OSCILLATOR OUTPUT  
FREQUENCY AND TUNING  
2.5.4.3  
Compensating with the CCP Module  
in Capture Mode  
The internal oscillator block is calibrated at the factory  
to produce an INTOSC output frequency of 8 MHz. It  
can be adjusted in the user’s application by writing to  
TUN5:TUN0 (OSCTUNE<5:0>) in the OSCTUNE  
register (Register 2-2).  
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.  
When the OSCTUNE register is modified, the INTOSC  
frequency will begin shifting to the new frequency. The  
oscillator will stabilize within 1 ms. Code execution  
continues during this shift and there is no indication that  
the shift has occurred.  
If the measured time is much greater than the  
calculated 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.  
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 or vice versa. The frequency of  
INTRC is not affected by OSCTUNE.  
2.5.4  
INTOSC FREQUENCY DRIFT  
The INTOSC frequency may drift as VDD or tempera-  
ture changes, and 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 reg-  
ister. Depending on the device, this may have no effect  
on the INTRC clock source frequency.  
2.6  
Reference Clock Output  
In addition to the FOSC/4 clock output in certain oscilla-  
tor modes, the device clock in the PIC18F87J11 family  
can also be configured to provide a reference clock out-  
put signal to a port pin. This feature is available in all  
oscillator configurations and allows the user to select a  
greater range of clock sub-multiples to drive external  
devices in the application.  
Tuning INTOSC 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 shown here.  
This reference clock output is controlled by the  
REFOCON register (Register 2-3). Setting the ROON  
bit (REFOCON<7>) makes the clock signal available  
on the REFO (RE3) pin. The RODIV3:RODIV0 bits  
enable the selection of 16 different clock divider  
options.  
2.5.4.1  
Compensating with the EUSART  
An adjustment may be required when the EUSART  
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.  
The ROSSLP and ROSEL bits (REFOCON<5:4>) con-  
trol the availability of the reference output during Sleep  
mode. The ROSEL bit determines if the oscillator on  
OSC1 and OSC2, or the current system clock source,  
is used for the reference clock output. The ROSSLP bit  
determines if the reference source is available on RE3  
when the device is in Sleep mode.  
2.5.4.2  
Compensating with the Timers  
To use the reference clock output in Sleep mode, both  
the ROSSLP and ROSEL bits must be set. The device  
clock must also be configured for an EC or HS mode;  
otherwise, the oscillator on OSC1 and OSC2 will be  
powered down when the device enters Sleep mode.  
Clearing the ROSEL bit allows the reference output  
frequency to change as the system clock changes  
during any clock switches.  
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.  
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 much greater than expected, then the internal  
oscillator block is running too fast. To adjust for this,  
decrement the OSCTUNE register.  
The REFOCON register is an alternate SFR, and  
shares the same memory address as the OSCCON  
register. It is accessed by setting the ADSHR bit in the  
WDTCON register (WDTCON<4>).

Timer1 oscillator may be operating to support a Real-  
Time Clock (RTC). Other features may be operating  
that do not require a device clock source (i.e., MSSP  
slave, PSP, INTx pins and others). Peripherals that  
may add significant current consumption are listed in  
Section 27.2 “DC Characteristics: Power-Down and  
Supply Current”.  
2.7  
Effects of Power-Managed Modes  
on the Various Clock Sources  
When PRI_IDLE mode is selected, the designated pri-  
mary 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.  
2.8  
Power-up Delays  
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.  
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 4.6 “Power-up Timer (PWRT)”.  
In RC_RUN and RC_IDLE modes, the internal  
oscillator 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 24.2 “Watchdog Timer (WDT)” through  
Section 24.5 “Fail-Safe Clock Monitor” for more  
information on WDT, Fail-Safe Clock Monitor and  
Two-Speed Start-up).  
The first timer is the Power-up Timer (PWRT), which  
provides a fixed delay on power-up (parameter 33,  
Table 27-12); it is always enabled.  
The second timer is the Oscillator Start-up Timer  
(OST), intended to keep the chip in Reset until the  
crystal oscillator is stable (HS modes). The OST does  
this by counting 1024 oscillator cycles before allowing  
the oscillator to clock the device.  
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 27-12), following POR, while the controller  
becomes ready to execute instructions.  
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

3.1.1  
CLOCK SOURCES  
3.0  
POWER-MANAGED MODES  
The SCS1:SCS0 bits allow the selection of one of three  
clock sources for power-managed modes. They are:  
The PIC18F87J11 Family of devices provides the ability  
to manage power consumption by simply managing  
clocking to the CPU and the peripherals. In general, a  
lower clock frequency and a reduction in the number of  
circuits being clocked constitutes lower consumed  
power. For the sake of managing power in an  
application, there are three primary modes of operation:  
• the primary clock, as defined by the  
FOSC2:FOSC0 Configuration bits  
• the secondary clock (Timer1 oscillator)  
• the internal oscillator  
3.1.2  
ENTERING POWER-MANAGED  
MODES  
• Run mode  
• Idle mode  
• Sleep mode  
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 modes define which portions of the device are  
clocked and at what speed. The Run and Idle modes  
may use any of the three available clock sources (pri-  
mary, 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 devices.  
One is the clock switching feature, offered in other  
PIC18 devices, allowing the controller to use the  
Timer1 oscillator 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 which  
clock source is to be used. 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.

3.1.3  
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  
Two bits indicate the current clock source and its status:  
OSTS (OSCCON<3>) and 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  
T1RUN bit is set, the Timer1 oscillator is providing the  
clock. If neither of these bits is set, INTRC is clocking the  
device.  
The PRI_RUN mode is the normal, full-power execu-  
tion mode of the microcontroller. This is also the default  
mode upon a device Reset unless Two-Speed Start-up  
is enabled (see Section 24.4 “Two-Speed Start-up”  
for details). In this mode, the OSTS bit is set. (see  
Section 2.2 “Control Registers”).  
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.  
Note:  
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.  
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.  
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.

PIC18F87J11 FAMILY  
On transitions from SEC_RUN mode to PRI_RUN  
mode, 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.  
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.

PIC18F87J11 FAMILY  
On transitions from RC_RUN mode to PRI_RUN mode,  
the device continues to be clocked from the INTOSC  
block while the primary clock is started. When the  
primary clock becomes ready, a clock switch to the pri-  
mary clock occurs (see Figure 3-4). When the clock  
switch is complete, 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  
block source will continue to run if either the WDT or the  
Fail-Safe Clock Monitor is enabled.  
3.2.3  
RC_RUN MODE  
In RC_RUN mode, the CPU and peripherals are  
clocked from the internal oscillator; the primary clock is  
shut down. This mode provides the best power conser-  
vation 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.  
This mode is entered by setting SCS<1:0> to ‘11’.  
When the clock source is switched to the internal  
oscillator block (see Figure 3-3), the primary oscillator  
is shut down and the OSTS bit is cleared.

3.3  
Sleep Mode  
3.4  
Idle Modes  
The power-managed Sleep mode is identical to the leg-  
acy 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 SLEEP instruction.  
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 ‘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 if either the Two-Speed  
Start-up or the Fail-Safe Clock Monitor are enabled  
(see Section 24.0 “Special Features of the CPU”). In  
either case, the OSTS bit is set when the primary 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 27-12) 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 set-  
ting the IDLEN bit and executing a SLEEPinstruction. 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 SLEEP instruc-  
tion. If the device is in another Run mode, set IDLEN  
first, then set the SCS bits to ‘10’ and execute SLEEP.  
Although the CPU is disabled, the peripherals continue  
to be clocked from the primary clock source specified  
by the FOSC1: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 exe-  
cution 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.

3.4.3  
RC_IDLE MODE  
3.5.2  
EXIT BY WDT TIME-OUT  
In RC_IDLE mode, the CPU is disabled but the  
peripherals continue to be clocked from the internal  
oscillator block. This mode allows for controllable  
power conservation during Idle periods.  
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  
power-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 24.2 “Watchdog  
Timer (WDT)”).  
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  
clear the SCS bits and execute SLEEP. When the clock  
source is switched to the INTOSC block, the primary  
oscillator is shut down and the OSTS bit is cleared.  
When a wake event occurs, the peripherals continue to  
be clocked from the internal oscillator block. After a  
delay of TCSD following the wake event, the CPU  
begins executing code being clocked by the INTRC.  
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.  
The Watchdog Timer and postscaler are cleared by one  
of the following events:  
• Executing a SLEEPor CLRWDTinstruction  
• The loss of a currently selected clock source (if  
the Fail-Safe Clock Monitor is enabled)  
3.5.3  
EXIT BY RESET  
Exiting an Idle or Sleep mode by Reset automatically  
forces the device to run from the INTRC.  
3.5  
Exiting Idle and Sleep Modes  
3.5.4  
EXIT WITHOUT AN OSCILLATOR  
START-UP DELAY  
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 sections (see Section 3.2 “Run Modes”,  
Section 3.3 “Sleep Mode” and Section 3.4 “Idle  
Modes”).  
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 either the EC or  
ECPLL mode.  
3.5.1  
EXIT BY INTERRUPT  
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 (EC). 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.  
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.  
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  
execution continues or resumes without branching  
(see Section 9.0 “Interrupts”).  
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.

A simplified block diagram of the on-chip Reset circuit  
is shown in Figure 4-1.  
4.0  
RESET  
The PIC18F87J11 Family of 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 set by  
the event and must be cleared 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 4.7 “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) Configuration Mismatch (CM)  
f) Brown-out Reset (BOR)  
g) RESETInstruction  
h) Stack Full Reset  
The RCON register also has a control bit for setting  
interrupt priority (IPEN). Interrupt priority is discussed  
in Section 9.0 “Interrupts”.  
i) Stack Underflow Reset  
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 5.1.6.4 “Stack Full and Underflow Resets”.  
WDT Resets are covered in Section 24.2 “Watchdog  
Timer (WDT)”.

Master Clear (MCLR)  
The MCLR pin provides a method for triggering a hard

which detects and ignores small pulses.

4.3  
Power-on Reset (POR)  
A Power-on Reset condition is generated on-chip  
whenever VDD rises above a certain threshold. This  
allows the device to start in the initialized state when  
VDD is adequate for operation.  
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.  
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.  
2: R < 40 kΩ is recommended to make sure that  
the voltage drop across R does not violate  
the device’s electrical specification.  
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).  
When the device starts normal operation (i.e., exits the  
Reset condition), device operating parameters  
(voltage, 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.  
4.4.1  
DETECTING BOR  
The BOR bit always resets to ‘0’ on any Brown-out  
Reset or Power-on Reset event. This makes it difficult  
to determine if a Brown-out Reset 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 Power-on Reset  
event. If BOR is ‘0’ while POR is ‘1’, it can be reliably  
assumed that a Brown-out Reset event has occurred.  
Power-on Reset events are captured by the POR bit  
(RCON<1>). The state of the bit is set to ‘0’ whenever  
a Power-on Reset 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  
Power-on Reset.  
If the voltage regulator is disabled, Brown-out Reset  
functionality is disabled. In this case, the BOR bit  
cannot be used to determine a Brown-out Reset event.  
The BOR bit is still cleared by a Power-on Reset event.  
4.4  
Brown-out Reset (BOR)  
The PIC18F87J11 family of devices incorporates a  
simple Brown-out Reset function when the internal reg-  
ulator is enabled (ENVREG pin is tied to VDD). Any  
drop of VDD below VBOR (parameter D005)) for greater  
than time 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.  
4.5  
Configuration Mismatch (CM)  
The Configuration Mismatch (CM) Reset is designed to  
detect and attempt to recover from random, memory  
corrupting events. These include Electrostatic Discharge  
(ESD) events, which can cause widespread, single-bit  
changes throughout the device and result in catastrophic  
failure.  
Once a Brown-out Reset has occurred, the Power-up  
Timer will keep the chip in Reset for 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.  
In PIC18FXXJ Flash devices, the device Configuration  
registers (located in the configuration memory space)  
are continuously monitored during operation by  
comparing their values to complimentary shadow reg-  
isters. If a mismatch is detected between the two sets  
of registers, a CM Reset automatically occurs. These  
events are captured by the CM bit (RCON<5>). The  
state of the bit is set to ‘0’ whenever a CM event occurs;  
it does not change for any other Reset event.

A CM Reset behaves similarly to a Master Clear Reset,  
RESET instruction, WDT time-out or Stack Event  
Resets. As with all hard and power Reset events, the  
device Configuration Words are reloaded from the  
Flash Configuration Words in program memory as the  
device restarts.  
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.  
4.6.1  
TIME-OUT SEQUENCE  
If enabled, the PWRT time-out is invoked after the POR  
pulse has cleared. The total time-out will vary based on  
the status of the PWRT. Figure 4-3, Figure 4-4,  
Figure 4-5 and Figure 4-6 all depict time-out  
sequences on power-up with the Power-up Timer  
enabled.  
4.6  
Power-up Timer (PWRT)  
PIC18F87J11 Family devices incorporate an on-chip  
Power-up Timer (PWRT) to help regulate the Power-on  
Reset process. The PWRT is always enabled. The  
main function is to ensure that the device voltage is  
stable before code is executed.  
Since the time-outs occur from the POR pulse, if MCLR  
is kept low long enough, the PWRT will expire. Bringing  
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 Power-up Timer (PWRT) of the PIC18F87J11  
Family 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 = 66 ms.  
While the PWRT is counting, the device is held in  
Reset.

different Reset situations, as indicated in Table 4-1.  
These bits are used in software to determine the nature  
of the Reset.  
4.7  
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.  
Table 4-2 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.  
Most registers are not affected by a WDT wake-up,  
since this is viewed as the resumption of normal  
operation. Status bits from the RCON register (CM, RI,  
TO, PD, POR and BOR) are set or cleared differently in

Program Memory Organization  
5.0  
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 PIC18 Flash  
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 entire PIC18F87J11 Family of devices offers three  
different on-chip Flash program memory sizes, from  
64 Kbytes (up to 16,384 single-word instructions) to  
128 Kbytes (65,536 single-word instructions). The  
program memory maps for individual family members  
are shown in Figure 5-3.  
Additional detailed information on the operation of the  
Flash program memory is provided in Section 6.0  
“Flash Program Memory”.

5.1.1  
HARD MEMORY VECTORS  
5.1.2  
FLASH CONFIGURATION WORDS  
All PIC18 devices have a total of three hard-coded  
return vectors in their program memory space. The  
Reset vector address is the default value to which the  
program counter returns on all device Resets; it is  
located at 0000h.  
Because PIC18F87J11 Family devices do not have  
persistent configuration memory, the top four words of  
on-chip program memory are reserved for configuration  
information. On Reset, the configuration information is  
copied into the Configuration registers.  
PIC18 devices also have two interrupt vector  
addresses for the handling of high-priority and  
low-priority interrupts. The high-priority interrupt vector  
is located at 0008h and the low-priority interrupt vector  
is at 0018h. Their locations in relation to the program  
memory map are shown in Figure 5-2.  
The Configuration Words are stored in their program  
memory location in numerical order, starting with the  
lower byte of CONFIG1 at the lowest address and  
ending with the upper byte of CONFIG4. For these  
devices, only Configuration Words, CONFIG1 through  
CONFIG3, are used; CONFIG4 is reserved. The actual  
addresses of the Flash Configuration Word for devices  
in the PIC18F87J11 Family are shown in Table 5-1.  
Their location in the memory map is shown with the  
other memory vectors in Figure 5-2.

• The Extended Microcontroller Mode allows  
access to both internal and external program  
memories as a single block. The device can  
access its entire on-chip program memory; above  
this, the device accesses external program  
memory up to the 2-Mbyte program space limit.  
Execution automatically switches between the  
two memories as required.  
5.1.3  
PIC18F8XJ11/8XJ16 PROGRAM  
MEMORY MODES  
The 80-pin devices in this family can address up to a  
total of 2 Mbytes of program memory. This is achieved  
through the external memory bus. There are two  
distinct operating modes available to the controllers:  
• Microcontroller (MC)  
• Extended Microcontroller (EMC)  
The setting of the EMB Configuration bits also controls  
the address bus width of the external memory bus. This  
is covered in more detail in Section 7.0 “External  
Memory Bus”.  
The program memory mode is determined by setting  
the EMB Configuration bits (CONFIG3L<5:4>), as  
shown in Register 5-1. (See also Section 24.1  
“Configuration Bits” for additional details on the  
device Configuration bits.)  
In all modes, the microcontroller has complete access  
to data RAM.  
The program memory modes operate as follows:  
Figure 5-3 compares the memory maps of the different  
program memory modes. The differences between  
on-chip and external memory access limitations are  
more fully explained in Table 5-2.  
• The Microcontroller Mode accesses only on-chip  
Flash memory. Attempts to read above the top of  
on-chip memory causes a read of all ‘0’s (a NOP  
instruction).  
The Microcontroller mode is also the only operating  
mode available to 64-pin devices.

DS39778D-page 65  
PIC18F87J11 FAMILY  
To avoid this, the Extended Microcontroller mode  
implements an address shifting option to enable auto-  
matic address translation. In this mode, addresses  
presented on the external bus are shifted down by the  
size of the on-chip program memory and are remapped  
to start at 0000h. This allows the complete use of the  
external memory device’s memory space as an  
extension of the device’s on-chip program memory.  
5.1.4  
EXTENDED MICROCONTROLLER  
MODE AND ADDRESS SHIFTING  
By default, devices in Extended Microcontroller mode  
directly present the program counter value on the  
external address bus for those addresses in the range  
of the external memory space. In practical terms, this  
means addresses in the external memory device below  
the top of on-chip memory are unavailable.

PIC18F87J11 FAMILY  
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 Function Registers. Data can also  
be pushed to, or popped from the stack, using these  
registers.  
5.1.5  
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 5.1.8.1 “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, 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.  
5.1.6.1  
Top-of-Stack Access  
Only the top of the return address stack (TOS) is  
readable and writable. A set of three registers,  
TOSU:TOSH:TOSL, hold the contents of the stack loca-  
tion pointed to by the STKPTR register (Figure 5-4). This  
allows users to implement a software stack if necessary.  
After a CALL, RCALL or interrupt (and ADDULNK and  
SUBULNK instructions if the extended instruction set is  
enabled), 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.  
5.1.6  
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, RETLW  
or a RETFIE instruction (and on ADDULNK and  
SUBULNKinstructions if the extended instruction set is  
enabled). 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.

PIC18F87J11 FAMILY  
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 set 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.  
5.1.6.2  
Return Stack Pointer (STKPTR)  
The STKPTR register (Register 5-2) 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.  
5.1.6.3  
PUSHand POPInstructions  
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 execu-  
tion, 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 24.1 “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 the STKPTR will remain at 31.  
The POP instruction discards the current TOS by  
decrementing the Stack Pointer. The previous value  
pushed onto the stack then becomes the TOS value.

5.1.6.4  
Stack Full and Underflow Resets  
5.1.8  
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 1L. When STVREN is set, a full  
or underflow condition 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  
5.1.8.1  
Computed GOTO  
5.1.7  
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. This stack is only one level deep  
and is neither readable nor writable. It is loaded with the  
current value of the corresponding register when the  
processor vectors for an interrupt. All interrupt sources  
will push values into the Stack registers. The values in  
the registers are then loaded back into the working  
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  
interrupts 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 CALL label, FAST  
instruction must be executed to save the STATUS,  
WREG and BSR registers to the Fast Register Stack. A  
RETURN, FASTinstruction is then executed to restore  
these registers from the Fast Register Stack.

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

Look-up table data may be stored two bytes per

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

5.2.2  
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 pipe-  
lined in such a manner that a fetch takes one instruction  
cycle, while the decode and execute takes another  
instruction cycle. However, due to the pipelining, 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 (IR) during Q4. The instruction is decoded  
and executed during the following Q1 through Q4. The  
clocks and instruction execution flow are shown in  
Figure 5-5.  
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).

PIC18F87J11 FAMILY  
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 5-6 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 25.0 “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 5.1.5  
“Program Counter”).  
Figure 5-6 shows an example of how instruction words  
are stored in the program memory.

is skipped for some reason and the second word is  
executed by itself, a NOP is executed instead. This is  
necessary for cases when the two-word instruction is  
preceded by a conditional 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 5.5 “Program Memory and  
the Extended Instruction Set” for  
information on two-word instructions in the  
extended instruction set.  
The use of ‘1111’ in the 4 MSbs of an instruction  
specifies 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

PIC18F87J11 FAMILY  
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.  
5.3  
Data Memory Organization  
Note:  
The operation of some aspects of data  
memory are changed when the PIC18  
extended instruction set is enabled. See  
Section 5.6 “Data Memory and the  
Extended Instruction Set” for more  
information.  
The data memory in PIC18 devices is implemented as  
static RAM. Each register in the data memory has a  
12-bit address, allowing up to 4096 bytes of data  
memory. The memory space is divided into as many as  
16 banks that contain 256 bytes each. The  
PIC18F87J11 family implements all available banks  
and provide 3936 bytes of data memory available to the  
user. Figure 5-7 shows the data memory organization  
for the devices.  
The value of the BSR indicates the bank in data mem-  
ory. 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.  
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.  
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.  
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 5-7 indicates which banks are implemented.  
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  
section.  
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.  
To ensure that commonly used registers (select 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  
select SFRs and the lower portion of GPR Bank 0 with-  
out using the BSR. Section 5.3.2 “Access Bank”  
provides a detailed description of the Access RAM.  
5.3.1  
BANK SELECT REGISTER  
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 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 60h and  
above, this means that users can evaluate and operate  
on SFRs more efficiently. The Access RAM below 60h  
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 5.6.3 “Mapping the Access Bank in  
Indexed Literal Offset 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 96 bytes of  
memory (00h-5Fh) in Bank 0 and the last 160 bytes of  
memory (60h-FFh) in Bank 15. The lower half is known  
as the “Access RAM” and is composed of GPRs. The  
upper half is 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 5-7).  
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.

ALU’s STATUS register is described later in this  
section. Registers related to the operation of the  
peripheral features 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  
more than the top half of Bank 15 (F5Ah to FFFh). A list  
of these registers is given inTable 5-3, Table 5-4 and  
Table 5-5.  
The SFRs are typically distributed among the  
peripherals whose functions they control. Unused SFR  
locations are unimplemented and read as ‘0’s  
Note:  
Addresses, F5Ah through F5Fh, are not  
part of the Access Bank. These registers  
must always be accessed using the Bank  
Select Register.  
The SFRs can be classified into two sets: those  
associated with the “core” device functionality (ALU,  
Resets and interrupts) and those related to the  
peripheral functions. The Reset and interrupt registers  
are described in their respective chapters, while the

5.3.4.1  
Shared Address SFRs  
5.3.4.2  
Context Defined SFRs  
In several locations in the SFR bank, a single address  
is used to access two different hardware registers. In  
these cases, a “legacy” register of the standard PIC18  
SFR set (such as OSCCON, T1CON, etc.) shares its  
address with an alternate register. These alternate reg-  
isters are associated with enhanced configuration  
options for peripherals, or with new device features not  
included in the standard PIC18 SFR map. A complete  
list of shared register addresses and the registers  
associated with them is provided in Table 5-4.  
In addition to the shared address SFRs, there are  
several registers that share the same address in the  
SFR space, but are not accessed with the ADSHR bit.  
Instead, the register’s definition and use depends on  
the operating mode of its associated peripheral. These  
registers are:  
• SSPxADD and SSPxMSK: These are two  
separate hardware registers, accessed through a  
single SFR address. The operating mode of the  
MSSP module determines which register is being  
accessed. See Section 19.4.3.4 “7-Bit Address  
Masking Mode” for additional details.  
Access to the alternate registers is enabled in software  
by setting the ADSHR bit in the WDTCON register  
(Register 5-3). ADSHR must be manually set or  
cleared to access the alternate or legacy registers, as  
required. Since the bit remains in a given state until  
changed, users should always verify the state of  
ADSHR before writing to any of the shared SFR  
addresses.  
• PMADDRH/L and PMDOUT2H/L: In this case,  
these named buffer pairs are actually the same  
physical registers. The PMP module’s operating  
mode determines what function the registers take  
on. See Section 11.1.2 “Data Registers” for  
additional details.

These bits and/or registers are only available in 80-pin devices; otherwise, they are unimplemented and read as ‘0’. Reset values are  
shown for 80-pin devices.  
8:  
9:  
These bits are only available in select oscillator modes (FOSC2 Configuration bit = 0); otherwise, they are unimplemented.  
The PMADDRH/PMDOUT1H and PMADDRL/PMDOUT1L register pairs share the physical registers and addresses, but have different  
functions determined by the module’s operating mode. See Section 11.1.2 “Data Registers” for more information.

recommended, therefore, that only BCF, BSF, SWAPF,  
MOVFF and MOVWF instructions 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 5-4, contains  
the arithmetic status of the ALU. The STATUS register  
can be the operand for any instruction, as with any  
other register. If the STATUS register is the destination  
for an instruction that affects the Z, DC, C, OV or N bits,  
then the write to these five bits is disabled.  
For other instructions not affecting any Status bits, see  
the instruction set summaries in Table 25-2 and  
Table 25-3.  
These bits are set or cleared according to the device  
logic. Therefore, the result of an instruction with the  
STATUS register as destination may be different than  
intended. For example, CLRF STATUSwill set the Z bit  
but leave the other bits unchanged. The STATUS  
register then reads back as ‘000u u1uu’. It is

digit borrow bit respectively, in subtraction.

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  
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 5.6 “Data Memory  
and the Extended Instruction Set” for  
more information.  
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”) 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.  
While the program memory can be addressed in only  
one way – through the program counter – information  
in 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.  
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 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 5.6.1 “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 Function Registers, they can also be directly  
manipulated 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. It also enables users to perform  
Indexed Addressing and other Stack Pointer  
operations for program memory in data memory.  
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 MOVLW, which 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

the SFR space but are not physically implemented.  
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 instruc-  
tion’s target. The INDF operand is just a convenient  
way of using the pointer.  
5.4.3.1  
FSR Registers and the  
INDF Operand  
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.  
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.  
Indirect Addressing is accomplished with a set of Indi-  
rect File Operands, INDF0 through INDF2. These can  
be thought of as “virtual” registers: they are mapped in

FSR Registers and POSTINC,  
5.4.3.3  
Operations by FSRs on FSRs  
POSTDEC, PREINC and PLUSW  
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.  
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  
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.  
• 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  
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.  
In this context, accessing an INDF register uses the  
value in the FSR registers without changing them.  
Similarly, accessing a PLUSW register gives the FSR  
value offset by the value in the W register; neither value  
is actually changed in the operation. Accessing the  
other virtual registers changes the value of the FSR  
registers.  
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.  
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.

PIC18F87J11 FAMILY  
When using the extended instruction set, this  
addressing mode requires the following:  
5.5  
Program Memory and the  
Extended Instruction Set  
• The use of the Access Bank is forced (‘a’ = 0);  
and  
The operation of program memory is unaffected by the  
use of the extended instruction set.  
• The file address argument is less than or equal to  
5Fh.  
Enabling the extended instruction set adds five  
additional two-word commands to the existing PIC18  
instruction set: ADDFSR, CALLW, MOVSF, MOVSS and  
SUBFSR. These instructions are executed as described  
in Section 5.2.4 “Two-Word Instructions”.  
Under these conditions, the file address of the  
instruction 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.  
5.6  
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 intro-  
duction of a new addressing mode for the data memory  
space. This mode also alters the behavior of Indirect  
Addressing using FSR2 and its associated operands.  
5.6.2  
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. Instruc-  
tions that only use Inherent or Literal Addressing  
modes are unaffected.  
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 remains unchanged.  
Additionally, byte-oriented and bit-oriented instructions  
are not affected if they 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 pos-  
sible addressing modes when the extended instruction  
set is enabled is shown in Figure 5-10.  
5.6.1  
INDEXED ADDRESSING WITH  
LITERAL OFFSET  
Enabling the PIC18 extended instruction set changes  
the behavior of Indirect Addressing using the FSR2  
register pair and its associated file operands. 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  
addressing mode is known as Indexed Addressing with  
Literal Offset, or Indexed Literal Offset mode.  
Those who desire to use byte-oriented or bit-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 25.2.1  
“Extended Instruction Syntax”.

Remapping of the Access Bank applies only to opera-  
tions using the Indexed Literal Offset mode. Operations  
that use the BSR (Access RAM bit is ‘1’) will continue  
to use Direct Addressing as before. Any Indirect or  
Indexed Addressing operation that explicitly uses any  
of the indirect file operands (including FSR2) will con-  
tinue to operate as standard Indirect Addressing. Any  
instruction that uses the Access Bank, but includes a  
register address of greater than 05Fh, will use Direct  
Addressing and the normal Access Bank map.  
5.6.3  
MAPPING THE ACCESS BANK IN  
INDEXED LITERAL OFFSET MODE  
The use of Indexed Literal Offset Addressing mode  
effectively changes how the lower part of Access RAM  
(00h to 5Fh) is mapped. Rather than containing just the  
contents of the bottom part 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 bound-  
ary 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.  
5.6.4  
BSR IN INDEXED LITERAL  
OFFSET MODE  
Although the Access Bank is remapped when the  
extended instruction set is enabled, the operation of the  
BSR remains unchanged. Direct Addressing, using the  
BSR to select the data memory bank, operates in the  
same manner as previously described.

Table Reads and Table Writes  
6.0  
FLASH PROGRAM MEMORY  
In order to read and write program memory, there are  
two operations that allow the processor to move bytes  
between the program memory space and the data RAM:  
The Flash program memory is readable, writable and  
erasable during normal operation over the entire VDD  
range.  
Table Read (TBLRD)  
Table Write (TBLWT)  
A read from program memory is executed on one byte  
at a time. A write to program memory is executed on  
blocks of 64 bytes at a time or two bytes at a time. Pro-  
gram memory is erased in blocks of 1024 bytes at a  
time. A bulk erase operation may not be issued from  
user code.  
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).  
Writing or erasing program memory will cease  
instruction fetches until the operation is complete. The  
program memory cannot be accessed during the write  
or erase, therefore, code cannot execute. An internal  
programming timer terminates program memory writes  
and erases.  
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.  
Table write operations store data from the data memory  
space into holding registers in program memory. The  
procedure to write the contents of the holding registers  
into program memory is detailed in Section 6.5 “Writing  
to Flash Program Memory”. Figure 6-2 shows the  
operation of a table write with program memory and data  
RAM.  
A value written to program memory does not need to be  
a valid instruction. Executing a program memory  
location that forms an invalid instruction results in a  
NOP.  
Table operations 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. If a table write is being  
used to write executable code into program memory,  
program instructions will need to be word-aligned.

Section 6.5 “Writing to Flash Program Memory”.  
The FREE bit, when set, will allow a program memory  
erase operation. When FREE is set, the erase  
operation is initiated on the next WR command. When  
FREE is clear, only writes are enabled.  
6.2  
Control Registers  
Several control registers are used in conjunction with  
the TBLRDand TBLWTinstructions. These include the:  
• EECON1 register  
• EECON2 register  
• TABLAT register  
• TBLPTR registers  
The WREN bit, when set, will allow a write operation.  
On power-up, the WREN bit is clear. The WRERR bit is  
set in hardware when the WR bit is set and cleared  
when the internal programming timer expires and the  
write operation is complete.  
6.2.1  
EECON1 AND EECON2 REGISTERS  
Note:  
During normal operation, the WRERR is  
read as ‘1’. This can indicate that a write  
operation was prematurely terminated by  
The EECON1 register (Register 6-1) is the control  
register for memory accesses. The EECON2 register is  
not a physical register; it is used exclusively in the  
memory write and erase sequences. Reading  
EECON2 will read all ‘0’s.  
a
Reset, or  
a write operation was  
attempted improperly.  
The WR control bit initiates write operations. The bit  
cannot be cleared, only set, in software. It is cleared in  
hardware at the completion of the write operation.  
The WPROG bit, when set, allows the user to program  
a single word (two bytes) upon the execution of the WR  
command. If this bit is cleared, the WR command  
programs a block of 64 bytes.

TABLE LATCH REGISTER (TABLAT)  
6.2.4  
TABLE POINTER BOUNDARIES  
The Table Latch (TABLAT) is an 8-bit register mapped  
into the SFR space. The Table Latch register is used to  
hold 8-bit data during data transfers between program  
memory and data RAM.  
TBLPTR is used in reads, writes and erases of the  
Flash program memory.  
When a TBLRDis executed, all 22 bits of the TBLPTR  
determine which byte is read from program memory  
into TABLAT.  
6.2.3  
TABLE POINTER REGISTER  
(TBLPTR)  
When a TBLWT is executed, the seven LSbs of the  
Table Pointer register (TBLPTR<6:0>) determine which  
of the 64 program memory holding registers is written  
to. When the timed write to program memory begins  
(via the WR bit), the 12 MSbs of the TBLPTR  
(TBLPTR<21:10>) determine which program memory  
block of 1024 bytes is written to. For more detail, see  
Section 6.5 “Writing to Flash Program Memory”.  
The Table Pointer (TBLPTR) register addresses a byte  
within the program memory. The TBLPTR is comprised  
of three SFR registers: Table Pointer Upper Byte, Table  
Pointer High Byte and Table Pointer Low Byte  
(TBLPTRU:TBLPTRH:TBLPTRL). These three regis-  
ters join to form a 22-bit wide pointer. The low-order  
21 bits allow the device to address up to 2 Mbytes of  
program memory space. The 22nd bit allows access to  
the device ID, the user ID and the Configuration bits.  
When an erase of program memory is executed, the  
12 MSbs of the Table Pointer register point to the  
1024-byte block that will be erased. The Least  
Significant bits are ignored.  
The Table Pointer register, TBLPTR, is used by the  
TBLRDand TBLWTinstructions. These instructions can  
update the TBLPTR in one of four ways based on the  
table operation. These operations are shown in  
Table 6-1. These operations on the TBLPTR only affect  
the low-order 21 bits.  
Figure 6-3 describes the relevant boundaries of  
TBLPTR based on Flash program memory operations.

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.  
6.3  
Reading the Flash Program  
Memory  
The TBLRD instruction is used to retrieve data from  
program memory and places it into data RAM. Table  
reads from program memory are performed one byte at  
a time.  
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 6-4  
shows the interface between the internal program  
memory and the TABLAT.

FLASH PROGRAM MEMORY  
ERASE SEQUENCE  
6.4  
Erasing Flash Program Memory  
The minimum erase block is 512 words or 1024 bytes.  
Only through the use of an external programmer, or  
through ICSP control, can larger blocks of program  
memory be bulk erased. Word erase in the Flash array  
is not supported.  
The sequence of events for erasing a block of internal  
program memory location is:  
1. Load Table Pointer register with address of row  
being erased.  
When initiating an erase sequence from the micro-  
controller itself, a block of 1024 bytes of program  
memory is erased. The Most Significant 12 bits of the  
TBLPTR<21:10> point to the block being erased.  
TBLPTR<9:0> are ignored.  
2. Set the WREN and FREE bits (EECON1<2,4>)  
to enable the erase operation.  
3. Disable interrupts.  
4. Write 55h to EECON2.  
5. Write 0AAh to EECON2.  
The EECON1 register commands the erase operation.  
The WREN bit must be set to enable write operations.  
The FREE bit is set to select an erase operation. For  
protection, the write initiate sequence for EECON2  
must be used.  
6. Set the WR bit. This will begin the row erase  
cycle.  
7. The CPU will stall for duration of the erase for  
TIW (see parameter D133A).  
8. Re-enable interrupts.  
A long write is necessary for erasing the internal Flash.  
Instruction execution is halted while in a long write  
cycle. The long write will be terminated by the internal  
programming timer.

The on-chip timer controls the write time. The  
write/erase voltages are generated by an on-chip  
charge pump, rated to operate over the voltage range  
of the device.  
6.5  
Writing to Flash Program Memory  
The programming block is 32 words or 64 bytes.  
Programming one word or two bytes at a time is also  
supported.  
Note 1: Unlike previous PIC18 Flash devices,  
members of the PIC18F87J11 family do  
not reset the holding registers after a  
write occurs. The holding registers must

registers needed to program the Flash memory. There  
are 64 holding registers used by the table writes for

be cleared or overwritten before  
programming sequence.  
a
Since the Table Latch (TABLAT) is only a single byte, the  
TBLWTinstruction may need to be executed 64 times for  
each programming operation (if WPROG = 0). All of the  
table write operations will essentially be short writes  
because only the holding registers are written. At the  
end of updating the 64 holding registers, the EECON1  
register must be written to in order to start the  
programming operation with a long write.  
2: To maintain the endurance of the program  
memory cells, each Flash byte should not  
be programmed more than one time  
between erase operations. Before  
attempting to modify the contents of the  
target cell a second time, a row erase of  
the target row, or a bulk erase of the entire  
memory, must be performed.  
The long write is necessary for programming the inter-  
nal Flash. Instruction execution is halted while in a long  
write cycle. The long write will be terminated by the  
internal programming timer.

WRITE VERIFY  
6.6  
Flash Program Operation During  
Code Protection  
Depending on the application, good programming  
practice may dictate that the value written to the  
memory should be verified against the original value.  
This should be used in applications where excessive  
writes can stress bits near the specification limit.  
See Section 24.6 “Program Verification and Code  
Protection” for details on code protection of Flash  
program memory.  
6.5.4  
UNEXPECTED TERMINATION OF  
WRITE OPERATION  
If a write is terminated by an unplanned event, such as  
loss of power or an unexpected Reset, the memory  
location just programmed should be verified and repro-  
grammed if needed. If the write operation is interrupted  
by a MCLR Reset or a WDT time-out Reset during  
normal operation, the user can check the WRERR bit  
and rewrite the location(s) as needed.

The bus is implemented with 28 pins, multiplexed  
across four I/O ports. Three ports (PORTD, PORTE  
and PORTH) are multiplexed with the address/data bus  
for a total of 20 available lines, while PORTJ is  
multiplexed with the bus control signals.

EXTERNAL MEMORY BUS  
Note:  
The external memory bus is not  
implemented on 64-pin devices.  
The External Memory Bus (EMB) allows the device to  
access external memory devices (such as Flash,  
EPROM, SRAM, etc.) as program or data memory. It  
supports both 8 and 16-Bit Data Width modes and  
three address widths of up to 20 bits.  
A list of the pins and their functions is provided in  
Table 7-1.

PIC18F87J11 FAMILY  
The WAIT bits allow for the addition of wait states to  
external memory operations. The use of these bits is  
discussed in Section 7.3 “Wait States”.  
7.1  
External Memory Bus Control  
The operation of the interface is controlled by the  
MEMCON register (Register 7-1). This register is  
available in all program memory operating modes  
except Microcontroller mode. In this mode, the register  
is disabled and cannot be written to.  
The WM bits select the particular operating mode used  
when the bus is operating in 16-Bit Data Width mode.  
These are discussed in more detail in Section 7.6  
“16-Bit Data Width Modes”. These bits have no effect  
when an 8-bit Data Width mode is selected.  
The EBDIS bit (MEMCON<7>) controls the operation  
of the bus and related port functions. Clearing EBDIS  
enables the interface and disables the I/O functions of  
the ports, as well as any other functions multiplexed to  
those pins. Setting the bit enables the I/O ports and  
other functions, but allows the interface to override  
everything else on the pins when an external memory  
operation is required. By default, the external bus is  
always enabled and disables all other I/O.  
The MEMCON register (see Register 7-1) shares the  
same memory space as the PR2 register and can be  
alternately selected based on the designation of the  
ADSHR bit in the WDTCON register (see  
Register 24-9).  
The operation of the EBDIS bit is also influenced by the  
program memory mode being used. This is discussed  
in more detail in Section 7.5 “Program Memory  
Modes and the External Memory Bus”.

7.2.1  
ADDRESS SHIFTING ON THE  
EXTERNAL BUS  
7.2  
Address and Data Width  
The PIC18F87J11 Family of devices can be indepen-  
dently configured for different address and data widths  
on the same memory bus. Both address and data width  
are set by Configuration bits in the CONFIG3L register.  
As Configuration bits, this means that these options  
can only be configured by programming the device and  
are not controllable in software.  
By default, the address presented on the external bus  
is the value of the PC. In practical terms, this means  
that addresses in the external memory device below  
the top of on-chip memory are unavailable to the micro-  
controller. To access these physical locations, the glue  
logic between the microcontroller and the external  
memory must somehow translate addresses.  
The BW bit selects an 8-bit or 16-bit data bus width.  
Setting this bit (default) selects a data width of 16 bits.  
To simplify the interface, the external bus offers an  
extension of Extended Microcontroller mode that  
automatically performs address shifting. This feature is  
controlled by the EASHFT Configuration bit. Setting  
this bit offsets addresses on the bus by the size of the  
microcontroller’s on-chip program memory and sets  
the bottom address at 0000h. This allows the device to  
use the entire range of physical addresses of the  
external memory.  
The EMB1:EMB0 bits determine both the program  
memory operating mode and the address bus width.  
The available options are 20-bit, 16-bit and 12-bit, as  
well as Microcontroller mode (external bus disabled).  
Selecting a 16-bit or 12-bit width makes a correspond-  
ing number of high-order lines available for I/O  
functions. These pins are no longer affected by the  
setting of the EBDIS bit. For example, selecting a  
16-Bit Addressing mode (EMB1:EMB0 = 01) disables  
A19:A16 and allows PORTH<3:0> to function without  
interruptions from the bus. Using the smaller address  
widths allows users to tailor the memory bus to the size  
of the external memory space for a particular design  
while freeing up pins for dedicated I/O operation.  
7.2.2  
21-BIT ADDRESSING  
As an extension of 20-bit address width operation, the  
external memory bus can also fully address a 2-Mbyte  
memory space. This is done by using the Bus Address  
bit 0 (BA0) control line as the Least Significant bit of the  
address. The UB and LB control signals may also be  
used with certain memory devices to select the upper  
and lower bytes within a 16-bit wide data word.  
Because the EMB bits have the effect of disabling pins  
for memory bus operations, it is important to always  
select an address width at least equal to the data width.  
If a 12-bit address width is used with a 16-bit data  
width, the upper four bits of data will not be available on  
the bus.  
This addressing mode is available in both 8-bit and  
certain 16-Bit Data Width modes. Additional details are  
provided in Section 7.6.3 “16-Bit Byte Select Mode”  
and Section 7.7 “8-Bit Data Width Mode”.  
All combinations of address and data widths require  
multiplexing of address and data information on the  
same lines. The address and data multiplexing, as well  
as I/O ports made available by the use of smaller  
address widths, are summarized in Table 7-2.

functions. When EBDIS = 0, the pins function as the  
external bus. When EBDIS = 1, the pins function as I/O  
ports.  
7.3  
Wait States  
While it may be assumed that external memory devices  
will operate at the microcontroller clock rate, this is  
often not the case. In fact, many devices require longer  
times to write or retrieve data than the time allowed by  
the execution of table read or table write operations.  
If the device fetches or accesses external memory  
while EBDIS = 1, the pins will switch to external bus. If  
the EBDIS bit is set by a program executing from exter-  
nal memory, the action of setting the bit will be delayed  
until the program branches into the internal memory. At  
that time, the pins will change from external bus to I/O  
ports.  
To compensate for this, the external memory bus can  
be configured to add a fixed delay to each table opera-  
tion using the bus. Wait states are enabled by setting  
the WAIT Configuration bit. When enabled, the amount  
of delay is set by the WAIT1:WAIT0 bits  
(MEMCON<5:4>). The delay is based on multiples of  
microcontroller instruction cycle time and are added  
following the instruction cycle when the table operation  
is executed. The range is from no delay to 3 TCY  
(default value).  
If the device is executing out of internal memory when  
EBDIS = 0, the memory bus address/data and control  
pins will not be active. They will go to a state where the  
active address/data pins are tri-state; the CE, OE,  
WRH, WRL, UB and LB signals are ‘1’ and ALE and  
BA0 are ‘0’. Note that only those pins associated with  
the current address width are forced to tri-state; the  
other pins continue to function as I/O. In the case of  
16-bit address width, for example, only AD<15:0>  
(PORTD and PORTE) are affected; A19:A16  
(PORTH<3:0>) continue to function as I/O.  
7.4  
Port Pin Weak Pull-ups  
With the exception of the upper address lines,  
A19:A16, the pins associated with the external memory  
bus are equipped with weak pull-ups. The pull-ups are  
controlled by the upper three bits of the PORTG  
register (PORTG<7:5>). They are named RDPU,  
REPU and RJPU and control pull-ups on PORTD,  
PORTE and PORTJ, respectively. Setting one of these  
bits enables the corresponding pull-ups for that port. All  
pull-ups are disabled by default on all device Resets.  
In all external memory modes, the bus takes priority  
over any other peripherals that may share pins with it.  
This includes the Parallel Master Port and serial  
communication modules which would otherwise take  
priority over the I/O port.  
7.6  
16-Bit Data Width Modes  
In Extended Microcontroller mode, the port pull-ups  
can be useful in preserving the memory state on the  
external bus while the bus is temporarily disabled  
(EBDIS = ‘1’).  
In 16-Bit Data Width mode, the external memory  
interface can be connected to external memories in  
three different configurations:  
• 16-Bit Byte Write  
• 16-Bit Word Write  
• 16-Bit Byte Select  
7.5  
Program Memory Modes and the  
External Memory Bus  
The configuration to be used is determined by the  
WM1:WM0 bits in the MEMCON register  
(MEMCON<1:0>). These three different configurations  
allow the designer maximum flexibility in using both  
8-bit and 16-bit devices with 16-bit data.  
The PIC18F87J11 Family of devices is capable of  
operating in one of two program memory modes, using  
combinations of on-chip and external program memory.  
The functions of the multiplexed port pins depend on  
the program memory mode selected, as well as the  
setting of the EBDIS bit.  
For all 16-bit modes, the Address Latch Enable (ALE)  
pin indicates that the address bits, AD<15:0>, are avail-  
able on the external memory interface bus. Following  
the address latch, the Output Enable signal (OE) will  
enable both bytes of program memory at once to form  
a 16-bit instruction word. The Chip Enable signal (CE)  
is active at any time that the microcontroller accesses  
external memory, whether reading or writing; it is  
inactive (asserted high) whenever the device is in  
Sleep mode.  
In Microcontroller Mode, the bus is not active and the  
pins have their port functions only. Writes to the  
MEMCOM register are not permitted. The Reset value  
of EBDIS (‘0’) is ignored and EMB pins behave as I/O  
ports.  
In Extended Microcontroller Mode, the external  
program memory bus shares I/O port functions on the  
pins. When the device is fetching or doing table  
read/table write operations on the external program  
memory space, the pins will have the external bus  
function.  
In Byte Select mode, JEDEC standard Flash memories  
will require BA0 for the byte address line and one I/O  
line to select between Byte and Word mode. The other  
16-bit modes do not need BA0. JEDEC standard static  
RAM memories will use the UB or LB signals for byte  
selection.  
If the device is fetching and accessing internal program  
memory locations only, the EBDIS control bit will  
change the pins from external memory to I/O port

During a TBLWTinstruction cycle, the TABLAT data is  
presented on the upper and lower bytes of the  
AD15:AD0 bus. The appropriate WRH or WRL control  
line is strobed on the LSb of the TBLPTR.  
7.6.1  
16-BIT BYTE WRITE MODE  
Figure 7-1 shows an example of 16-Bit Byte Write  
mode for PIC18F87J11 Family devices. This mode is  
used for two separate 8-bit memories connected for  
16-bit operation. This generally includes basic EPROM  
and Flash devices. It allows table writes to byte-wide  
external memories.

During

7.6.2  
16-BIT WORD WRITE MODE  
(TBLPTR<0> = 1), the TABLAT data is presented on  
the upper byte of the AD15:AD0 bus. The contents of  
the holding latch are presented on the lower byte of the  
AD15:AD0 bus.  
Figure 7-2 shows an example of 16-Bit Word Write  
mode for PIC18F87J11 Family devices. This mode is  
used for word-wide memories which include some of  
the EPROM and Flash-type memories. This mode  
allows opcode fetches and table reads from all forms of  
16-bit memory and table writes to any type of  
word-wide external memories. This method makes a  
distinction between TBLWT cycles to even or odd  
addresses.  
The WRH signal is strobed for each write cycle; the  
WRL pin is unused. The signal on the BA0 pin indicates  
the LSb of the TBLPTR, but it is left unconnected.  
Instead, the UB and LB signals are active to select both  
bytes. The obvious limitation to this method is that the  
table write must be done in pairs on a specific word  
boundary to correctly write a word location.  
During  
a
TBLWT cycle to an even address  
(TBLPTR<0> = 0), the TABLAT data is transferred to a  
holding latch and the external address data bus is  
tri-stated for the data portion of the bus cycle. No write  
signals are activated.

Flash and SRAM devices use different control signal  
combinations to implement Byte Select mode. JEDEC  
standard Flash memories require that a controller I/O  
port pin be connected to the memory’s BYTE/WORD  
pin to provide the select signal. They also use the BA0  
signal from the controller as a byte address. JEDEC  
standard static RAM memories, on the other hand, use  
the UB or LB signals to select the byte.  
7.6.3  
16-BIT BYTE SELECT MODE  
Figure 7-3 shows an example of 16-Bit Byte Select  
mode. This mode allows table write operations to  
word-wide external memories with byte selection  
capability. This generally includes both word-wide  
Flash and SRAM devices.  
During a TBLWTcycle, the TABLAT data is presented  
on the upper and lower byte of the AD15:AD0 bus. The  
WRH signal is strobed for each write cycle; the WRL  
pin is not used. The BA0 or UB/LB signals are used to  
select the byte to be written, based on the Least  
Significant bit of the TBLPTR register.

will enable one byte of program memory for a portion of  
the instruction cycle, then BA0 will change and the  
second byte will be enabled to form the 16-bit instruc-  
tion word. The Least Significant bit of the address, BA0,  
must be connected to the memory devices in this  
mode. The Chip Enable signal (CE) is active at any  
time that the microcontroller accesses external  
memory, whether reading or writing. It is inactive  
(asserted high) whenever the device is in Sleep mode.  
7.7  
8-Bit Data Width Mode  
In 8-Bit Data Width mode, the external memory bus  
operates only in Multiplexed mode; that is, data shares  
the 8 Least Significant bits of the address bus.  
Figure 7-6 shows an example of 8-Bit Multiplexed  
mode for 80-pin devices. This mode is used for a single  
8-bit memory connected for 16-bit operation. The  
instructions will be fetched as two 8-bit bytes on a  
shared data/address bus. The two bytes are sequen-  
tially fetched within one instruction cycle (TCY).  
Therefore, the designer must choose external memory  
devices according to timing calculations based on  
1/2 TCY (2 times the instruction rate). For proper mem-  
ory speed selection, glue logic propagation delay times  
must be considered, along with setup and hold times.  
This generally includes basic EPROM and Flash  
devices. It allows table writes to byte-wide external  
memories.  
During a TBLWTinstruction cycle, the TABLAT data is  
presented on the upper and lower bytes of the  
AD15:AD0 bus. The appropriate level of the BA0  
control line is strobed on the LSb of the TBLPTR.  
The Address Latch Enable (ALE) pin indicates that the  
address bits, AD<15:0>, are available on the external  
memory interface bus. The Output Enable signal (OE)

In Sleep and Idle modes, the microcontroller core does  
not need to access data; bus operations are  
suspended. The state of the external bus is frozen, with  
the address/data pins and most of the control pins hold-  
ing at the same state they were in when the mode was  
invoked. The only potential changes are the CE, LB  
and UB pins, which are held at logic high.  
7.8  
Operation in Power-Managed  
Modes  
In alternate, power-managed Run modes, the external  
bus continues to operate normally. If a clock source  
with a lower speed is selected, bus operations will run  
at that speed. In these cases, excessive access times  
for the external memory may result if wait states have  
been enabled and added to external memory opera-  
tions. If operations in a lower power Run mode are  
anticipated, users should provide in their applications  
for adjusting memory access times at the lower clock  
speeds.

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 8-2:  
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 8-1.

Operation  
Example 8-1 shows the instruction sequence for an 8 x 8  
unsigned multiplication. Only one instruction is required  
when one of the arguments is already loaded in the  
WREG register.  
Example 8-2 shows the sequence to do an 8 x 8 signed  
multiplication. To account for the sign bits of the argu-  
ments, each argument’s Most Significant bit (MSb) is  
tested and the appropriate subtractions are done.

PIC18F87J11 FAMILY  
When the IPEN bit is cleared (default state), the  
interrupt priority feature is disabled and interrupts are  
compatible with PIC16 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.  
9.0  
INTERRUPTS  
Members of the PIC18F87J11 Family of devices have  
multiple interrupt sources and an interrupt priority fea-  
ture 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.  
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.  
There are thirteen registers which are used to control  
interrupt operation. These registers are:  
• RCON  
High-priority interrupt sources can interrupt  
a
• INTCON  
low-priority interrupt. Low-priority interrupts are not  
processed while high-priority interrupts are in progress.  
• INTCON2  
• INTCON3  
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.  
• PIR1, PIR2, PIR3  
• PIE1, PIE2, PIE3  
• IPR1, IPR2, IPR3  
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 INTx 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  
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.  
Priority bit to select high-priority or low-priority  
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  
vector immediately to address 0008h or 0018h,  
depending on the priority bit setting. Individual  
interrupts can be disabled through their corresponding  
enable bits.

PIR Registers  
Note 1: Interrupt flag bits are set when an interrupt  
condition occurs regardless of the state of  
its corresponding enable bit or the Global  
Interrupt Enable bit, GIE (INTCON<7>).  
The PIR registers contain the individual flag bits for the  
peripheral interrupts. Due to the number of peripheral  
interrupt sources, there are three Peripheral Interrupt  
Request (Flag) registers (PIR1, PIR2, PIR3).  
2: User software should ensure the  
appropriate interrupt flag bits are cleared  
prior to enabling an interrupt and after  
servicing that interrupt.

INTx Pin Interrupts  
9.7  
TMR0 Interrupt  
External interrupts on the RB0/INT0, RB1/INT1,  
RB2/INT2 and RB3/INT3 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, INTxIF, is set. This interrupt can  
be disabled by clearing the corresponding enable bit,  
INTxIE. Flag bit, INTxIF, 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 register  
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 prior-  
ity bit, TMR0IP (INTCON2<2>). See Section 12.0  
“Timer0 Module” for further details on the Timer0  
module.  
9.8  
PORTB Interrupt-on-Change  
All external interrupts (INT0, INT1, INT2 and INT3) can  
wake-up the processor from the power-managed  
modes if bit INTxIE was set prior to going into the  
power-managed modes. If the Global Interrupt Enable  
bit, GIE, is set, the processor will branch to the interrupt  
vector following wake-up.  
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, INT2 and INT3 is determined  
by the value contained in the interrupt priority bits,  
INT1IP (INTCON3<6>), INT2IP (INTCON3<7>) and  
INT3IP (INTCON2<1>). There is no priority bit  
associated with INT0. It is always a high-priority  
interrupt source.  
9.9  
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 9-1 saves and restores the WREG,  
STATUS and BSR registers during an Interrupt Service  
Routine.

10.1 I/O Port Pin Capabilities  
10.0 I/O PORTS  
When developing an application, the capabilities of the  
port pins must be considered. Outputs on some pins  
have higher output drive strength than others. Similarly,  
some pins can tolerate higher than VDD input levels.  
Depending on the device selected and features  
enabled, there are up to nine 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.  
10.1.1  
INPUT PINS AND VOLTAGE  
CONSIDERATIONS  
Each port has three memory-mapped registers for its  
operation:  
The voltage tolerance of pins used as device inputs is  
dependent on the pin’s input function. Pins that are  
used as digital only inputs are able to handle DC  
voltages up to 5.5V, a level typical for digital logic  
circuits. In contrast, pins that also have analog input  
functions of any kind (such as A/D and comparator  
inputs) can only tolerate voltages up to VDD. Voltage  
excursions beyond VDD on these pins should be  
avoided.

• PORT register (reads the levels on the pins of the  
device)  
• LAT register (Output Latch register)  
Reading the PORT register reads the current status of  
the pins, whereas writing to the PORT register writes to  
the Output Latch (LAT) register.  
Table 10-1 summarizes the input capabilities. Refer to  
Section 27.0 “Electrical Characteristics” for more  
details.  
Setting a TRIS bit (= 1) makes the corresponding  
PORT pin an input (i.e., puts the corresponding output  
driver in a high-impedance mode). Clearing a TRIS bit  
(= 0) makes the corresponding PORT pin an output  
(i.e., puts the contents of the corresponding LAT bit on  
the selected pin).

Description  
The Output Latch (LAT register) is useful for  
read-modify-write operations on the value that the I/O  
pins are driving. Read-modify-write operations on the  
LAT register read and write the latched output value for  
the PORT register.

PIN OUTPUT DRIVE  
When used as digital I/O, the output pin drive strengths  
vary for groups of pins intended to meet the needs for  
a variety of applications. In general, there are three  
classes of output pins in terms of drive capability.

Buffer  
PORTB and PORTC, as well as PORTA<7:6>, are  
designed to drive higher current loads, such as LEDs.  
PORTD, PORTE and PORTJ are capable of driving  
digital circuits associated with external memory  
devices; they can also drive LEDs, but only those with  
smaller current requirements. PORTF, PORTG and  
PORTH, along with PORTA<5:0>, have the lowest  
drive level, but are capable of driving normal digital  
circuit loads with a high input impedance.

Table 10-2 summarizes the output capabilities of the  
ports. Refer to the “Absolute Maximum Ratings” in  
Section 27.0 “Electrical Characteristics” for more  
details.  
When the open-drain option is required, the output pin  
must also be tied through an external pull-up resistor  
provided by the user to a higher voltage level, up to 5V  
on digital only pins (Figure 10-2). When a digital logic  
high signal is output, it is pulled up to the higher voltage  
level.

10.1.3  
PULL-UP CONFIGURATION  
Four of the I/O ports (PORTB, PORTD, PORTE and  
PORTJ) implement configurable weak pull-ups on all  
pins. These are internal pull-ups that allow floating  
digital input signals to be pulled to a consistent level,  
without the use of external resistors.  
10.1.5  
TTL INPUT BUFFER OPTION  
Many of the digital I/O ports use Schmitt Trigger (ST)  
input buffers. While this form of buffering works well  
with many types of input, some applications may  
require TTL-level signals to interface with external logic  
devices. This is particularly true with the EMB and the  
Parallel Master Port (PMP), which are particularly likely  
to be interfaced to TTL-level logic or memory devices.  
The pull-ups are enabled with a single bit for each of the  
ports: RBPU (INTCON2<7>) for PORTB, and RDPU,  
REPU and RJPU (PORTG<7:5>) for the other ports.  
The inputs for the PMP can be optionally configured for  
TTL buffers with the PMPTTL bit in the PADCFG1 reg-  
ister (Register 10-4). Setting this bit configures all data  
and control input pins for the PMP to use TTL buffers.  
By default, these PMP inputs use the port’s ST buffers.  
10.1.4  
OPEN-DRAIN OUTPUTS  
The output pins for several peripherals are also  
equipped with a configurable, open-drain output option.  
This allows the peripherals to communicate with  
external digital logic operating at a higher voltage level,  
without the use of level translators.  
As with the ODCON registers, the PADCFG1 register  
resides in the SFR configuration space; it shares the  
same memory address as the TMR2 register.  
PADCFG1 is accessed by setting the ADSHR bit  
(WDTCON<4>).  
The open-drain option is implemented on port pins spe-  
cifically associated with the data and clock outputs of  
the EUSARTs, the MSSP modules (in SPI mode) and  
the CCP and ECCP modules. It is selectively enabled  
by setting the open-drain control bit for the correspond-  
ing module in the ODCON registers (Register 10-1,  
Register 10-2 and Register 10-3). Their configuration  
is discussed in more detail with the individual port  
where these peripherals are multiplexed.  
The ODCON registers all reside in the SFR configuration  
space and share the same SFR addresses as the Timer1  
registers (see Section 5.3.4.1 “Shared Address SFRs”  
for more details). The ODCON registers are accessed by  
setting the ADSHR bit (WDTCON<4>).

For INTIO and INTPLL Oscillator modes (FOSC2 Con-  
figuration bit is ‘0’), either RA7 or both RA6 and RA7  
automatically become available as digital I/O, depend-  
ing on the oscillator mode selected. When RA6 is not  
configured as a digital I/O, in these cases, it provides a  
clock output at FOSC/4. A list of the possible configura-  
tions for RA6 and RA7, based on oscillator mode, is  
provided in Table 10-3. For these pins, the correspond-  
ing PORTA, TRISA and LATA bits are only defined  
when the pins are configured as I/O.  
10.2 PORTA, TRISA and  
LATA Registers  
PORTA is an 8-bit wide, bidirectional port. It may func-  
tion as a 6-bit or 7-bit port, depending on the oscillator  
mode selected. The corresponding Data Direction and  
Output Latch registers are TRISA and LATA.  
The RA4 pin is multiplexed with the Timer0 module  
clock input to become the RA4/T0CKI pin; it is also mul-  
tiplexed as the Parallel Master Port data pin (in 80-pin  
devices). The other PORTA pins are multiplexed with  
the analog VREF+ and VREF- inputs. The operation of  
pins, RA<5,3:0>, as A/D Converter inputs is selected  
by clearing or setting the appropriate PCFG control bits  
in the ANCON0 register.

The interrupt-on-change feature is recommended for  
10.3 PORTB, TRISB and  
LATB Registers  
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.  
PORTB is an 8-bit wide, bidirectional port. The corre-  
sponding Data Direction register is TRISB. All pins on  
PORTB are digital only and tolerate voltages up to  
5.5V.  
For 80-pin devices, RB3 can be configured as the  
alternate peripheral pin for the ECCP2 module and  
Enhanced PWM output 2A by clearing the CCP2MX  
Configuration bit. This applies only to 80-pin devices  
operating in Extended Microcontroller mode. If the  
device is in Microcontroller mode, the alternate  
assignment for ECCP2 is RE7. As with other ECCP2  
configurations, the user must ensure that the TRISB<3>  
bit is set appropriately for the intended operation. Ports,  
RB1, RB2, RB3, RB4 and RB5, are multiplexed with  
the Parallel Master Port address.  
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.  
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>).

This interrupt can wake the device from  
power-managed modes. The user, in the Interrupt  
Service Routine, can clear the interrupt in the following  
manner:  
a) Any read or write of PORTB (except with the  
MOVFF (ANY), PORTB instruction). This will  
end the mismatch condition.  
b) Clear flag bit, RBIF.  
A mismatch condition will continue to set flag bit, RBIF.  
Reading PORTB will end the mismatch condition and  
allow flag bit, RBIF, to be cleared.

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.  
10.4 PORTC, TRISC and  
LATC Registers  
PORTC is an 8-bit wide, bidirectional port. Only  
PORTC pins, RC2 through RC7, are digital only pins  
and can tolerate input voltages up to 5.5V.  
EXAMPLE 10-3:  
INITIALIZING PORTC  
PORTC is multiplexed with ECCP, MSSP and EUSART  
peripheral functions (Table 10-8). The pins have  
Schmitt Trigger input buffers. The pins for ECCP, SPI  
and EUSART are also configurable for open-drain out-  
put whenever these functions are active. Open-drain  
configuration is selected by setting the SPIxOD,  
ECCPxOD, and UxOD control bits in the ODCON reg-  
isters (see Section 10.1.3 “Pull-up Configuration”  
for more information).

RC1 is normally configured as the default peripheral  
pin for the ECCP2 module. Assignment of ECCP2 is  
controlled by Configuration bit, CCP2MX (default 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 the correct TRIS bit settings.  
Note:  
These pins are configured as digital inputs  
on any device Reset.

10.5 PORTD, TRISD and  
LATD Registers  
Each of the PORTD pins has a weak internal pull-up.  
This is performed by clearing bit RDPU (PORTG<7>).  
The weak pull-up is automatically turned off when the  
port pin is configured as an output. The pull-ups are  
disabled on all device Resets.  
PORTD is an 8-bit wide, bidirectional port. All pins on  
PORTD are digital only and tolerate voltages up to  
5.5V.  
All pins on PORTD are implemented with Schmitt  
Trigger input buffers. Each pin is individually  
configurable as an input or output.

TRISD  
On 80-pin devices, PORTD is multiplexed with the  
system bus as part of the external memory interface.  
I/O port and other functions are only available when the  
interface is disabled by setting the EBDIS bit  
(MEMCON<7>). When the interface is enabled,  
PORTD is the low-order byte of the multiplexed  
address/data bus (AD7:AD0). The TRISD bits are also  
overridden.  
MOVLW  
MOVWF  
PORTD is also multiplexed with the data functions of  
the Parallel Master Port data. In this mode, Parallel  
Master Port takes priority over the other digital I/O (but  
not the external memory bus). This multiplexing is  
available when PMPMX = 1. When the Parallel Master  
Port is active, the input buffers are TTL. For more  
information, refer to Section 11.0 “Parallel Master  
Port”.

PORTE is also multiplexed with Enhanced PWM  
outputs B and C for ECCP1 and ECCP3 and outputs B,  
C and D for ECCP2. For all devices, their default  
assignments are on PORTE<6:0>. On 80-pin devices,  
the multiplexing for the outputs of ECCP1 and ECCP3  
is controlled by the ECCPMX Configuration bit.  
Clearing this bit reassigns the P1B/P1C and P3B/P3C  
outputs to PORTH.  
10.6 PORTE, TRISE and  
LATE Registers  
PORTE is an 8-bit wide, bidirectional port. All pins on  
PORTE are digital only and tolerate voltages up to  
5.5V.  
All pins on PORTE are implemented with Schmitt  
Trigger input buffers. Each pin is individually  
configurable as an input or output.  
For devices operating in Microcontroller mode, pin RE7  
can be configured as the alternate peripheral pin for the  
ECCP2 module and Enhanced PWM output 2A. This is  
done by clearing the CCP2MX Configuration bit.  
Note:  
These pins are configured as digital inputs  
on any device Reset.  
On 80-pin devices, PORTE is multiplexed with the  
system bus as part of the external memory interface.  
I/O port and other functions are only available when the  
interface is disabled, by setting the EBDIS bit  
(MEMCON<7>). When the interface is enabled,  
PORTE is the high-order byte of the multiplexed  
address/data bus (AD15:AD8). The TRISE bits are also  
overridden.  
PORTE is also multiplexed with the Parallel Master  
Port address lines. When PMPMX = 0, RE1 and RE0  
are multiplexed with the control signals PMWR and  
PMRD.  
RE3 can also be configured as the Reference Clock  
Output (REFO) from the system clock. For further  
details, refer to Section 2.6 “Reference Clock  
Output”.  
Each of the PORTE pins has a weak internal pull-up. A  
single control bit can turn off all the pull-ups. This is  
performed by clearing bit REPU (PORTG<6>). The  
weak pull-up is automatically turned off when the port  
pin is configured as an output. The pull-ups are  
disabled on any device Reset.

When Configuration bit, PMPMX = 0, PORTF is  
multiplexed with the Parallel Master Port data. This  
multiplexing is available only in 80-pin devices.  
10.7 PORTF, LATF and TRISF Registers  
PORTF is a 7-bit wide, bidirectional port. Only pin 7 of  
PORTF has no analog input; it is the only pin that can  
tolerate voltages up to 5.5V.  
EXAMPLE 10-6:  
INITIALIZING PORTF  
All pins on PORTF are implemented with Schmitt  
Trigger input buffers. Each pin is individually  
configurable as an input or output.  
CLRF PORTF  
; Initialize PORTF by  
; clearing output  
; data latches  
CLRF LATF  
; Alternate method to  
; clear output latches  
PORTF is multiplexed with analog peripheral functions.  
RF1 through RF6 may also be used as analog input  
channels for the A/D Converter. All pins may be used as  
comparator inputs or outputs by setting the appropriate  
bits in the CMCON register. To use RF<6:3> as digital  
inputs, it is also necessary to turn off the comparators.

buffers. PORTG is also multiplexed with address and  
control functions of the Parallel Master Port.  
EXAMPLE 10-7:  
INITIALIZING PORTG  
When enabling peripheral functions, care should be  
taken in defining TRIS bits for each PORTG 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 the correct TRIS  
bit settings. The pin override value is not loaded into  
the TRIS register. This allows read-modify-write of the  
TRIS register without concern due to peripheral  
overrides.

Each of the PORTJ pins has a weak internal pull-up. A  
single control bit can turn off all the pull-ups. This is  
performed by clearing bit RJPU (PORTG<5>). The  
weak pull-up is automatically turned off when the port  
pin is configured as an output. The pull-ups are  
disabled on any device Reset.  
10.10 PORTJ, TRISJ and  
LATJ Registers  
Note: PORTJ is available only on 80-pin devices.  
PORTJ is an 8-bit wide, bidirectional port. All pins on  
PORTJ are digital only and tolerate voltages up to 5.5V.  
All pins on PORTJ are implemented with Schmitt  
Trigger input buffers. Each pin is individually  
configurable as an input or output.

When the external memory interface is enabled, all of  
the PORTJ pins function as control outputs for the  
interface. This occurs automatically when the interface  
is enabled by clearing the EBDIS control bit  
(MEMCON<7>). The TRISJ bits are also overridden.

The  
PMCON  
registers  
(Register 11-1  
and  
11.1 Module Registers  
Register 11-2) control basic module operations, includ-  
ing turning the module on or off. They also configure  
address multiplexing and control strobe configuration.  
The PMP module has a total of 14 Special Function  
Registers for its operation, plus one additional register  
to set configuration options. Of these, 8 registers are  
used for control and 6 are used for PMP data transfer.  
The  
PMMODE  
registers  
(Register 11-3  
and  
Register 11-4) configure the various Master and Slave  
Operating modes, the data width and interrupt  
generation.  
11.1.1  
CONTROL REGISTERS  
The eight PMP Control registers are:  
The PMEH and PMEL registers (Register 11-5 and  
Register 11-6) configure the module’s operation at the  
hardware (I/O pin) level.  
• PMCONH and PMCONL  
• PMMODEH and PMMODEL  
• PMSTATL and PMSTATH  
• PMEH and PMEL  
The  
PMSTAT  
registers  
(Register 11-7  
and  
Register 11-8) provide status flags for the module’s  
input and output buffers, depending on the operating  
mode.

PIC18F87J11 FAMILY  
upper two bits of the register can be used to determine  
the operation of chip select signals. If chip select  
signals are not used, PMADDR simply functions to hold  
the upper 8 bits of the address. The function of the  
individual bits in PMADDRH is shown in Register 11-9.  
11.1.2  
DATA REGISTERS  
The PMP module uses 6 registers for transferring data  
into and out of the microcontroller. They are arranged  
as three pairs to allow the option of 16-bit data  
operations:  
The PMDOUT2H and PMDOUT2L registers are only  
used in buffered Slave modes and serve as a buffer for  
outgoing data.  
• PMDIN1H and PMDIN1L  
• PMDIN2H and PMDIN2L  
• PMADDRH/PMDOUT1H and PMADDRL/PMDOUT1L  
• PMDOUT2H and PMDOUT2L  
11.1.3  
PAD CONFIGURATION CONTROL  
REGISTER  
The PMDIN1 register is used for incoming data in Slave  
modes, and both input and output data in Master  
modes. The PMDIN2 register is used for buffering input  
data in select Slave modes.  
In addition to the module level configuration options,  
the PMP module can also be configured at the I/O pin  
for electrical operation. This option allows users to  
select either the normal Schmitt Trigger input buffer on  
digital I/O pins shared with the PMP, or use TTL level  
compatible buffers instead. Buffer configuration is  
controlled by the PMPTTL bit in the PADCFG1 register.  
The PMADDRx/PMDOUT1x registers are actually a  
single register pair; the name and function is dictated  
by the module’s operating mode. In Master modes, the  
registers functions as the PMADDRH and PMADDRL  
registers, and contain the address of any incoming or  
outgoing data. In Slave modes, the registers function  
as PMDOUT1H and PMDOUT1L and are used for  
outgoing data.  
The PADCFG1 register is one of the shared address  
SFRs, and has the same address as the TMR2 regis-  
ter. PADCFG1 is accessed by setting the ADSHR bit  
(WDTCON<4>). Refer to Section 5.3.4.1 “Shared  
Address SFRs” for more information.  
PMADDRH differs from PMADDRL in that it can also  
have limited PMP control functions. When the module

PMP MULTIPLEXING OPTIONS  
(80-PIN DEVICES)  
11.2  
Slave Port Modes  
The primary mode of operation for the module is con-  
figured using the MODE1:MODE0 bits in the  
PMMODEH register. The setting affects whether the  
module acts as a slave or a master and it determines  
the usage of the control pins.  
By default, the PMP and the external memory bus  
multiplex some of their signals to the same I/O pins on  
PORTD and PORTE. It is possible that some applica-  
tions may require the PMP signals to be located  
elsewhere. For these instances, the 80-pin devices can  
be configured to multiplex the PMP to different I/O  
ports. PMP configuration is determined by the PMPMX  
Configuration bit setting; by default, the PMP and EMB  
modules share PORTD and PORTE. The optional pin  
configuration is shown in Table 11-1.  
11.2.1  
LEGACY MODE (PSP)  
In Legacy mode (PMMODEH<1:0> = 00 and  
PMPEN = 1), the module is configured as a Parallel  
Slave Port with the associated enabled module pins  
dedicated to the module. In this mode, an external  
device, such as another microcontroller or micropro-  
cessor, can asynchronously read and write data using  
the 8-bit data bus (PMD<7:0>), the read (PMRD), write  
(PMWR) and chip select (PMCS1) inputs. It acts as a  
slave on the bus and responds to the read/write control  
signals.

READ FROM SLAVE PORT  
When chip select is active and a write strobe occurs  
(PMCS = 1and PMWR = 1), the data from PMD<7:0>

the control signals in Write mode is shown in  
Figure 11-3. The polarity of the control signals are  
configurable.  
When chip select is active and a read strobe occurs  
(PMCS = 1 and PMRD = 1), the data from the

set. If all 4 OBxE status bits are set, then the Output  
Buffer Empty flag (OBE) will also be set.  
11.2.2  
BUFFERED PARALLEL SLAVE  
PORT MODE  
Buffered Parallel Slave Port mode is functionally iden-  
tical to the Legacy Parallel Slave Port mode with one  
exception: the implementation of 4-level read and write  
buffers. Buffered PSP mode is enabled by setting the  
INCM bits in the PMMODE register. If the INCM<1:0>  
bits are set to ‘11’, the PMP module will act as the  
Buffered Parallel Slave Port.  
11.2.2.2  
WRITE TO SLAVE PORT  
For write operations, the data is be stored sequentially,  
starting with Buffer 0 (PMDIN1L<7:0>) and ending with  
Buffer 3 (PMDIN2H<7:0). As with read operations, the  
module maintains an internal pointer to the buffer that  
is to be written next.  
When the Buffered mode is active, the  
PMDIN1L,PMDIN1H, PMDIN2L and PMDIN2H regis-  
ters become the write buffers and the PMDOUT1L,  
PMDOUT1H, PMDOUT2L and PMDOUT2H registers  
become the read buffers. Buffers are numbered 0  
through 3, starting with the lower byte of PMDIN1L to  
PMDIN2H as the read buffers, and PMDOUT1L to  
PMDOUT2H as the write buffers.  
The input buffers have their own write status bits, IBxF  
in the PMSTATH register. The bit is set when the buffer  
contains unread incoming data, and cleared when the  
data has been read. The flag bit is set on the write  
strobe. If a write occurs on a buffer when its associated  
IBxF bit is set, the Buffer Overflow flag, IBOV, is set;  
any incoming data in the buffer will be lost. If all 4 IBxF  
flags are set, the Input Buffer Full Flag (IBF) is set.  
11.2.2.1  
READ FROM SLAVE PORT  
In Buffered Slave mode, the module can be configured  
to generate an interrupt on every read or write strobe  
(IRQM1:IRQM0 = 01). It can be configured to generate  
an interrupt on a read from Read Buffer 3 or a write to  
Write Buffer 3, which is essentially an interrupt every  
fourth read or write strobe (RQM1:IRQM0 = 11). When  
interrupting every fourth byte for input data, all input  
buffer registers should be read to clear the IBxF flags.  
If these flags are not cleared, then their is a risk of  
hitting an overflow condition.  
For read operations, the bytes will be sent out sequen-  
tially, starting with Buffer 0 (PMDOUT1L<7:0>) and  
ending with Buffer 3 (PMDOUT2H<7:0>) for every read  
strobe. The module maintains an internal pointer to  
keep track of which buffer is to be read. Each of the buf-  
fers has a corresponding read status bit, OBxE, in the  
PMSTATL register. This bit is cleared when a buffer  
contains data that has not been written to the bus, and  
is set when data is written to the bus. If the current buf-  
fer location being read from is empty, a buffer underflow

ADDRESSING  
In the Addressable Parallel Slave Port mode  
(PMMODEH<1:0> = 01), the module is configured with  
two extra inputs, PMA<1:0>, which are the address  
lines 1 and 0. This makes the 4-byte buffer space  
directly addressable as fixed pairs of read and write  
buffers. As with Buffered Legacy mode, data is output  
from PMDOUT1L, PMDOUT1H, PMDOUT2L and  
PMDOUT2H, and is read in PMDIN1L, PMDIN1H,  
PMDIN2L and PMDIN2H. Table 11-2 shows the buffer  
addressing for the incoming address to the input and

When an output buffer is read, the corresponding  
OBxE bit is set. The OBE flag bit is set when all the buf-  
fers are empty. If any buffer is already empty (OBxE =  
1), the next read to that buffer will generate an OBUF  
event.  
11.2.3.1  
READ FROM SLAVE PORT  
When chip select is active and a read strobe occurs  
(PMCS = 1and PMRD = 1), the data from one of the  
four output bytes is presented onto PMD<7:0>. Which  
byte is read depends on the 2-bit address placed on  
ADDR<1:0>. Table 11-2 shows the corresponding  
output registers and their associated address.

When an input buffer is written, the corresponding IBxF

event and the byte will be discarded.

WRITE TO SLAVE PORT  
When chip select is active and a write strobe occurs  
(PMCS = 1and PMWR = 1), the data from PMD<7:0>

All control signals (PMRD, PMWR, PMBE, PMENB,  
PMAL and PMCSx) can be individually configured as  
either positive or negative polarity. Configuration is  
controlled by separate bits in the PMCONL register.  
Note that the polarity of control signals that share the  
same output pin (for example, PMWR and PMENB) are  
controlled by the same bit; the configuration depends  
on which Master Port mode is being used.  
11.3 Master Port Modes  
In its Master modes, the PMP module provides an 8-bit  
data bus, up to 16 bits of address, and all the necessary  
control signals to operate a variety of external parallel  
devices, such as memory devices, peripherals and  
slave microcontrollers. To use the PMP as a master,  
the module must be enabled (PMPEN = 1) and the  
mode must be set to one of the two possible Master  
modes (PMMODEH<1:0> = 10or 11).  
11.3.3  
DATA WIDTH  
Because there are a number of parallel devices with a  
variety of control methods, the PMP module is  
designed to be extremely flexible to accommodate a  
range of configurations. Some of these features  
include:  
The PMP supports data widths of both 8 and 16 bits.  
The data width is selected by the MODE16 bit  
(PMMODEH<2>). Because the data path into and out  
of the module is only 8 bits wide, 16-bit operations are  
always handled in a multiplexed fashion, with the Least  
Significant Byte of data being presented first. To differ-  
entiate data bytes, the Byte Enable (PMBE) control  
strobe is used to signal when the Most Significant Byte  
of data is being presented on the data lines.  
• 8 and 16-Bit Data modes on an 8-bit data bus  
• Configurable address/data multiplexing  
• Up to two chip select lines  
• Up to 16 selectable address lines  
11.3.4  
ADDRESS MULTIPLEXING  
• Address auto-increment and auto-decrement  
• Selectable polarity on all control lines  
In either of the Master modes (PMMODEH<1:0> = 1x),  
the user can configure the address bus to be multiplexed  
together with the data bus. This is accomplished using  
the ADRMUX1:ADRMUX0 bits (PMCONH<4:3>). There  
are three address multiplexing modes available; typical  
pinout configurations for these modes are shown in  
Figure 11-9, Figure 11-10 and Figure 11-11.  
• Configurable wait states at different stages of the  
read/write cycle  
11.3.1  
PMP AND I/O PIN CONTROL  
Multiple control bits are used to configure the presence  
or absence of control and address signals in the mod-  
ule. These bits are PTBEEN, PTWREN, PTRDEN, and  
PTEN<15:0>. They give the user the ability to conserve  
pins for other functions and allow flexibility to control  
the external address. When any one of these bits is set,  
the associated function is present on its associated pin;  
when clear, the associated pin reverts to its defined I/O  
port function.  
In Demultiplexed mode (PMCONH<4:3> = 00), data  
and address information are completely separated.  
Data bits are presented on PMD<7:0>, and address  
bits are presented on PMADDRH<7:0> and  
PMADDRL<7:0>.  
In Partially Multiplexed mode (PMCONH<4:3> = 01),  
the lower eight bits of the address are multiplexed with  
the data pins on PMD<7:0>. The upper eight bits of  
address are unaffected and are presented on  
PMADDRH<7:0>. The PMA0 pin is used as an address  
latch and presents the Address Latch Low (PMALL)  
enable strobe. The read and write sequences are  
extended by a complete CPU cycle during which the  
address is presented on the PMD<7:0> pins.  
Setting a PTEN bit will enable the associated pin as an  
address pin and drive the corresponding data con-  
tained in the PMADDR register. Clearing the PTENx bit  
will force the pin to revert to its original I/O function.  
For the pins configured as chip select (PMCS1 or  
PMCS2) with the corresponding PTENx bit set, chip  
select pins drive inactive data (with polarity defined by  
the CS1P and CS2P bits) when a read or write opera-  
tion is not being performed. The PTEN0 and PTEN1  
bits also control the PMALL and PMALH signals. When  
multiplexing is used, the associated address latch  
signals should be enabled.  
In Fully Multiplexed mode (PMCONH<4:3> = 10), the  
entire 16 bits of the address are multiplexed with the  
data pins on PMD<7:0>. The PMA0 and PMA1 pins are  
used to present Address Latch Low (PMALL) enable  
and Address Latch High (PMALH) enable strobes,  
respectively. The read and write sequences are  
extended by two complete CPU cycles. During the first  
cycle, the lower eight bits of the address are presented  
on the PMD<7:0> pins with the PMALL strobe active.  
During the second cycle, the upper eight bits of the  
address are presented on the PMD<7:0> pins with the  
PMALH strobe active. In the event the upper address  
bits are configured as chip select pins, the  
corresponding address bits are automatically forced  
to ‘0’.  
11.3.2  
READ/WRITE CONTROL  
The PMP module supports two distinct read/write  
_signaling methods. In Master mode 1, read and write  
strobes are combined into a single control line,  
PMRD/PMWR. A second control line, PMENB, deter-  
mines when a read or write action is to be taken. In  
Master mode 2, separate read and write strobes  
(PMRD and PMWR) are supplied on separate pins.

If the 16-bit mode is enabled (MODE16 = 1), the read  
of the low byte of the PMDIN1L register will initiate two  
bus reads. The first read data byte is placed into the  
PMDIN1L register, and the second read data is placed  
into the PMDIN1H.  
11.3.5  
CHIP SELECT FEATURES  
Up to two chip select lines, PMCS1 and PMCS2, are  
available for the Master modes of the PMP. The two  
chip select lines are multiplexed with the Most Signifi-  
cant bits of the address bus (PMADDRH<6> and  
PMADDRH<7>). When a pin is configured as a chip  
select, it is not included in any address  
auto-increment/decrement. The function of the chip  
select signals is configured using the chip select  
function bits (PMCONL <7:6>).  
Note that the read data obtained from the PMDIN1L  
register is actually the read value from the previous  
read operation. Hence, the first user read will be a  
dummy read to initiate the first bus read and fill the read  
register. Also, the requested read value will not be  
ready until after the BUSY bit is observed low. Thus, in  
a back-to-back read operation, the data read from the  
register will be the same for both reads. The next read  
of the register will yield the new value.  
11.3.6  
AUTO-INCREMENT/DECREMENT  
While the module is operating in one of the Master  
modes, the INCM bits (PMMODEH<3:4>) control the  
behavior of the address value. The address can be  
made to automatically increment or decrement after  
each read and write operation. The address increments  
once each operation is completed and the BUSY bit  
goes to ‘0’. If the chip select signals are disabled and  
configured as address bits, the bits will participate in  
the increment and decrement operations; otherwise,  
the CS2 and CS1 bit values will be unaffected.  
11.3.9  
WRITE OPERATION  
To perform a write onto the parallel bus, the user writes  
to the PMDIN1L register. This causes the module to  
first output the desired values on the chip select lines  
and the address bus. The write data from the PMDIN1L  
register is placed onto the PMD<7:0> data bus. Then  
the write line (PMWR) is strobed. If the 16-bit mode is  
enabled (MODE16 = 1), the write to the PMDIN1L reg-  
ister will initiate two bus writes. First write will consist of  
the data contained in PMDIN1L and the second write  
will contain the PMDIN1H.  
11.3.7  
WAIT STATES  
In Master mode, the user has control over the duration  
of the read, write and address cycles by configuring the  
module wait states. Three portions of the cycle, the  
beginning, middle, and end, are configured using the  
corresponding WAITBx, WAITMx and WAITEx bits in  
the PMMODEL register.  
11.3.10 PARALLEL MASTER PORT STATUS  
11.3.10.1 The BUSY Bit  
In addition to the PMP interrupt, a BUSY bit is provided  
to indicate the status of the module. This bit is only  
used in Master mode. While any read or write operation  
is in progress, the BUSY bit is set for all but the very last  
CPU cycle of the operation. In effect, if a single-cycle  
read or write operation is requested, the BUSY bit will  
never be active. This allows back-to-back transfers.  
While the bit is set, any request by the user to initiate a  
new operation will be ignored (i.e., writing or reading  
the lower byte of the PMDIN1L register will not initiate  
either a read nor a write).  
The WAITB1:WAITB0 bits (PMMODEL<7:6>) set the  
number of wait cycles for the data setup prior to the  
PMRD/PMWT strobe in Mode 10, or prior to the  
PMENB strobe in Mode 11. The WAITM3:WAITM0 bits  
(PMMODEL<5:2>) set the number of wait cycles for the  
PMRD/PMWT strobe in Mode 10, or for the PMENB  
strobe in Mode 11. When this wait state setting is 0,  
then WAITB and WAITE have no effect. The  
WAITE1:WAITE0 bits (PMMODEL<1:0>) define the  
number of wait cycles for the data hold time after the  
PMRD/PMWT strobe in Mode 10, or after the PMENB  
strobe in Mode 11.  
11.3.10.2 INTERRUPTS  
When the PMP module interrupt is enabled for Master  
mode, the module will interrupt on every completed  
read or write cycle; otherwise, the BUSY bit is available  
to query the status of the module.  
11.3.8  
READ OPERATION  
To perform a read on the Parallel Master Port, the user  
reads the PMDIN1L register. This causes the PMP to  
output the desired values on the chip select lines and  
the address bus. Then the read line (PMRD) is strobed.  
The read data is placed into the PMDIN1L register.

options. These options vary from 8-bit to 16-bit data,

as wait states.

PERIPHERAL  
11.4 Application Examples  
This section introduces some potential applications for  
the PMP module.  
Figure 11-27 demonstrates the hookup of a memory or  
other addressable peripheral in Full Multiplex mode.  
Consequently, this mode achieves the best pin saving  
from the microcontroller perspective. However, for this  
configuration, there needs to be some external latches  
to maintain the address.

shown in Figure 11-29, then no extra circuitry is  
required except for the peripheral itself.

MEMORY OR PERIPHERAL  
Partial multiplexing implies using more pins; however,  
for a few extra pins, some extra performance can be  
achieved. Figure 11-28 shows an example of a mem-

LCD CONTROLLER EXAMPLE  
The PMP module can be configured to connect to a  
typical LCD controller interface, as shown in  
Figure 11-32. In this case, the PMP module is config-  
ured for active-high control signals since common LCD  
displays require active-high control.

internal phase clock (TOSC). There is a delay between  
synchronization and the onset of incrementing the  
timer/counter.  
12.1 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 12.3 “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.  
12.2 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 writ-  
able (refer to Figure 12-2). 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

12.3.1  
SWITCHING PRESCALER  
ASSIGNMENT  
12.3 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.  
12.4 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  
clearing 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.

A simplified block diagram of the Timer1 module is  
shown in Figure 13-1. A block diagram of the module’s  
operation in Read/Write mode is shown in Figure 13-2.  
13.0 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 13-1). 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 ECCPx Special Event Trigger  
• Device clock status flag (T1RUN)

cycle (FOSC/4). When the bit is set, Timer1 increments  
on every rising edge of the Timer1 external clock input  
or the Timer1 oscillator, if enabled.  
13.1 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 TMR1CS is cleared  
(= 0), Timer1 increments on every internal instruction

13.2 Timer1 16-Bit Read/Write Mode  
Timer1 can be configured for 16-bit reads and writes  
(see Figure 13-2). 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 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.

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.  
13.3.1  
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 enters SEC_IDLE  
mode. Additional details are available in Section 3.0  
“Power-Managed Modes”.  
13.3 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 13-3.  
Table 13-1 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.

PIC18F87J11 FAMILY  
If a high-speed circuit must be located near the oscilla-  
tor (such as the ECCP1 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 13-4, may be helpful when used on a  
single-sided PCB or in addition to a ground plane.  
Note:  
The Special Event Triggers from the  
ECCPx module will not set the TMR1IF  
interrupt flag bit (PIR1<0>).  
13.6 Using Timer1 as a Real-Time Clock  
Adding an external LP oscillator to Timer1 (such as the  
one described in Section 13.3 “Timer1 Oscillator”)  
gives users the option to include RTC functionality 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.

The application code routine, RTCisr, shown in  
Example 13-1, 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 overflows.  
RC0  
RC1  
RC2  
Since the register pair is 16 bits wide, counting up to  
overflow the register directly from a 32.768 kHz clock  
would take 2 seconds. To force the overflow at the  
required one-second intervals, it is necessary to pre-  
load it. The simplest method is to set the MSb of  
TMR1H with a BSF instruction. Note that the TMR1L  
register is never preloaded or altered; doing so may  
introduce cumulative error over many cycles.  
Note: Not drawn to scale.  
13.4 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>).  
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.  
13.5 Resetting Timer1 Using the  
ECCPx Special Event Trigger  
If ECCP1 or ECCP2 is configured to use Timer1 and to  
generate a Special Event Trigger in Compare mode  
(CCPxM3:CCPxM0 = 1011), this signal will reset  
Timer3. The trigger from ECCP2 will also start an A/D  
conversion if the A/D module is enabled (see  
Section 18.2.1 “Special Event Trigger” for more  
information).  
The module must be configured as either a timer or a  
synchronous counter to take advantage of this feature.  
When used this way, the CCPRxH:CCPRxL register  
pair effectively becomes a period register for Timer1.  
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.

PIC18F87J11 FAMILY  
lowing a later Timer1 increment. This can be done by  
monitoring TMR1L within the interrupt routine until it  
increments, and then updating the TMR1H:TMR1L reg-  
ister pair while the clock is low, or one-half of the period  
of the clock source. Assuming that Timer1 is being  
used as a Real-Time Clock, the clock source is a  
32.768 kHz crystal oscillator. In this case, one-half  
period of the clock is 15.25 μs.  
13.7 Considerations in Asynchronous  
Counter Mode  
Following a Timer1 interrupt and an update to the  
TMR1 registers, the Timer1 module uses a falling edge  
on its clock source to trigger the next register update on  
the rising edge. If the update is completed after the  
clock input has fallen, the next rising edge will not be  
counted.  
The Real-Time Clock application code in Example 13-1  
shows a typical ISR for Timer1, as well as the optional  
code required if the update cannot be done reliably  
within the required interval.  
If the application can reliably update TMR1 before the  
timer input goes low, no additional action is needed.  
Otherwise, an adjusted update can be performed fol-

14.1 Timer2 Operation  
14.0 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 14.2  
“Timer2 Interrupt”).  
The Timer2 module incorporates the following features:  
• 8-Bit Timer and Period registers (TMR2 and PR2,  
respectively)  
• Readable and writable (both registers)  
• Software programmable prescaler  
(1:1, 1:4 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 modules  
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 14-1) 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 14-1.  
• any device Reset (Power-on Reset, MCLR Reset,  
Watchdog Timer Reset or Brown-out Reset)  
TMR2 is not cleared when T2CON is written.

14.2 Timer2 Interrupt  
14.3 Timer2 Output  
Timer2 can also generate an optional device interrupt.  
The Timer2 output signal (TMR2 to PR2 match) pro-  
vides 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 ECCPx/CCPx 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 modules operating in SPI mode.  
Additional information is provided in Section 19.0  
“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 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.  
15.1 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’.

15.2 Timer3 16-Bit Read/Write Mode  
15.4 Timer3 Interrupt  
Timer3 can be configured for 16-bit reads and writes  
(see Figure 15-2). 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>).  
15.5 Resetting Timer3 Using the  
ECCPx Special Event Trigger  
If ECCP1 or ECCP2 is configured to use Timer3 and to  
generate a Special Event Trigger in Compare mode  
(CCPxM3:CCPxM0 = 1011), this signal will reset  
Timer3. The trigger from ECCP2 will also start an A/D  
conversion if the A/D module is enabled (see  
Section 18.2.1 “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 CCPRxH:CCPRxL 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.  
15.3 Using the Timer1 Oscillator as the  
Timer3 Clock Source  
In the event that a write to Timer3 coincides with a  
Special Event Trigger from an ECCPx 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  
ECCPx module will not set the TMR3IF  
interrupt flag bit (PIR1<0>).  
The Timer1 oscillator is described in Section 13.0  
“Timer1 Module”.

16.1 Timer4 Operation  
16.0 TIMER4 MODULE  
Timer4 can be used as the PWM time base for the  
PWM mode of the ECCPx/CCPx modules. The TMR4  
register is readable and writable and is cleared on any  
device Reset. The input clock (FOSC/4) has a prescale  
option of 1:1, 1:4 or 1:16, selected by control bits  
T4CKPS1:T4CKPS0 (T4CON<1:0>). The match out-  
put of TMR4 goes through a 4-bit postscaler (which  
gives a 1:1 to 1:16 scaling inclusive) to generate a  
TMR4 interrupt, latched in flag bit, TMR4IF (PIR3<3>).  
The Timer4 timer module has the following features:  
• 8-bit timer register (TMR4)  
• 8-bit period register (PR4)  
• Readable and writable (both registers)  
• Software programmable prescaler (1:1, 1:4, 1:16)  
• Software programmable postscaler (1:1 to 1:16)  
• Interrupt on TMR4 match of PR4  
Timer4 has a control register shown in Register 16-1.  
Timer4 can be shut off by clearing control bit, TMR4ON  
(T4CON<2>), to minimize power consumption. The  
prescaler and postscaler selection of Timer4 are also  
controlled by this register. Figure 16-1 is a simplified  
block diagram of the Timer4 module.  
The prescaler and postscaler counters are cleared  
when any of the following occurs:  
• a write to the TMR4 register  
• a write to the T4CON register  
• any device Reset (Power-on Reset, MCLR Reset,  
Watchdog Timer Reset or Brown-out Reset)  
TMR4 is not cleared when T4CON is written.

16.2 Timer4 Interrupt  
16.3 Output of TMR4  
The Timer4 module has an 8-bit period register, PR4,  
which is both readable and writable. Timer4 increments  
from 00h until it matches PR4 and then resets to 00h on  
the next increment cycle. The PR4 register is initialized  
to FFh upon Reset.  
The output of TMR4 (before the postscaler) is used  
only as a PWM time base for the ECCPx/CCPx mod-  
ules. It is not used as a baud rate clock for the MSSP  
modules as is the Timer2 output.

Capture and Compare operations described in this  
chapter apply to all standard and Enhanced CCP  
modules. The operations of PWM mode, described in  
Section 17.4 “PWM Mode”, apply to CCP4 and CCP5  
only.  
17.0 CAPTURE/COMPARE/PWM  
(CCP) MODULES  
Members of the PIC18F87J11 family of devices all have  
a total of five CCP (Capture/Compare/PWM) modules.  
Two of these (CCP4 and CCP5) implement standard  
Capture, Compare and Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM)  
modes and are discussed in this section. The other three  
modules (ECCP1, ECCP2, ECCP3) implement  
standard Capture and Compare modes, as well as  
Enhanced PWM modes. These are discussed in  
Section 18.0 “Enhanced Capture/Compare/PWM  
(ECCP) Module”.  
Note: Throughout this section and Section 18.0  
“Enhanced Capture/Compare/PWM (ECCP)  
Module”, references to register and bit names  
that may be associated with a specific CCP  
module are referred to generically by the use of  
‘x’ or ‘y’ in place of the specific module number.  
Thus, “CCPxCON” might refer to the control  
register for ECCP1, ECCP2, ECCP3, CCP4 or  
CCP5.  
Each CCP/ECCP module contains 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. For the sake of clarity, all CCP module opera-  
tion in the following sections is described with respect  
to CCP4, but is equally applicable to CCP5.

The assignment of a particular timer to a module is  
determined by the timer to CCP enable bits in the  
T3CON register (Register 15-1, page 191). Depending  
on the configuration selected, up to four timers may be  
active at once, with modules in the same configuration  
(Capture/Compare or PWM) sharing timer resources.  
The possible configurations are shown in Figure 17-1.  
17.1 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.  
17.1.2  
OPEN-DRAIN OUTPUT OPTION  
17.1.1  
CCP MODULES AND TIMER  
RESOURCES  
When operating in Output mode (i.e., in Compare or  
PWM modes), the drivers for the CCP pins can be  
optionally configured as open-drain outputs. This feature  
allows the voltage level on the pin to be pulled to a higher  
level through an external pull-up resistor, and allows the  
output to communicate with external circuits without the  
need for additional level shifters. For more information,  
see Section 10.1.4 “Open-Drain Outputs”.  
The ECCP/CCP modules utilize Timers 1, 2, 3 or 4,  
depending on the mode selected. Timer1 and Timer3  
are available to modules in Capture or Compare  
modes, while Timer2 and Timer4 are available for  
modules in PWM mode.  
TABLE 17-1: CCP MODE – TIMER  
RESOURCE  
The open-drain output option is controlled by the bits in  
the ODCON1 register. Setting the appropriate bit con-  
figures the pin for the corresponding module for  
open-drain operation. The ODCON1 memory shares  
the same address space as TMR1H. The ODCON1  
register can be accessed by setting the ADSHR bit in  
the WDTCON register (WDTCON<4>).

17.2.3  
SOFTWARE INTERRUPT  
17.2 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  
interrupts. 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  
CCP pin. An event is defined as one of the following:  
• every falling edge  
• every rising edge  
17.2.4  
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 disabled, 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  
17.2.1  
CCP PIN CONFIGURATION  
a
non-zero prescaler. Example 17-1 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 CCP pin should be  
configured as an input by setting the corresponding  
TRIS direction bit.  
Note:  
If RG4/CCP5 is configured as an output, a  
write to the port can cause a capture  
condition.

17.3 Compare Mode  
Note:  
Clearing the CCP5CON register will force  
the RG4 compare output latch (depend-  
ing on device configuration) to the default  
low level. This is not the PORTB or  
PORTC I/O data latch.  
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 CCP pin  
can be:  
• driven high  
17.3.2  
TIMER1/TIMER3 MODE SELECTION  
• driven low  
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.  
• toggled (high-to-low or low-to-high)  
• remains 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.  
17.3.3  
SOFTWARE INTERRUPT MODE  
When the Generate Software Interrupt mode is chosen  
(CCPxM3:CCPxM0 = 1010), the corresponding CCP  
pin is not affected. Only a CCP interrupt is generated,  
if enabled, and the CCPxIE bit is set.  
17.3.1  
CCP PIN CONFIGURATION  
The user must configure the CCP pin as an output by  
clearing the appropriate TRIS bit.

17.4.1  
PWM PERIOD  
17.4 PWM Mode  
The PWM period is specified by writing to the PR2  
(PR4) register. The PWM period can be calculated  
using Equation 17-1:  
In Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) mode, the CCP pin  
produces up to a 10-bit resolution PWM output. Since  
the CCP4 and CCP5 pins are multiplexed with a  
PORTG data latch, the appropriate TRISG bit must be  
cleared to make the CCP4 or CCP5 pin an output.  
EQUATION 17-1:  
PWM Period = [(PR2) + 1] • 4 • TOSC •  
(TMR2 Prescale Value)  
Note:  
Clearing the CCP4CON or CCP5CON  
register will force the RG3 or RG4 output  
latch (depending on device configuration)  
to the default low level. This is not the  
PORTG I/O data latch.  
PWM frequency is defined as 1/[PWM period].  
When TMR2 (TMR4) is equal to PR2 (PR4), the  
following three events occur on the next increment  
cycle:  
Figure 17-4 shows a simplified block diagram of the  
CCP module in PWM mode.  
For a step-by-step procedure on how to set up a CCP  
module for PWM operation, see Section 17.4.3  
“Setup for PWM Operation”.  
• TMR2 (TMR4) is cleared  
• The CCP pin is set (exception: if PWM duty  
cycle = 0%, the CCP pin will not be set)  
• The PWM duty cycle is latched from CCPRxL into  
CCPRxH  
FIGURE 17-4:

Note:  
The Timer2 and Timer 4 postscalers (see  
Section 14.0 “Timer2 Module” and  
Section 16.0 “Timer4 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.

The PWM duty cycle is specified by writing to the

the eight MSbs and the CCPxCON<5:4> contains the  
two LSbs. This 10-bit value is represented by  
CCPRxL:CCPxCON<5:4>. Equation 17-2 is used to  
calculate the PWM duty cycle in time.

TOSC • (TMR2 Prescale Value)  
A PWM output (Figure 17-5) 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).  
CCPRxL and CCPxCON<5:4> can be written to at any  
time, but the duty cycle value is not latched into  
CCPRxH until after a match between PR2 (PR4) and  
TMR2 (TMR4) occurs (i.e., the period is complete). In  
PWM mode, CCPRxH is a read-only register.

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.  
17.4.3  
SETUP FOR PWM OPERATION  
The following steps should be taken when configuring  
the CCP module for PWM operation:  
1. Set the PWM period by writing to the PR2 (PR4)  
register.  
When the CCPRxH and 2-bit latch match TMR2  
(TMR4), concatenated with an internal 2-bit Q clock or  
2 bits of the TMR2 (TMR4) prescaler, the CCP pin is  
cleared.  
2. Set the PWM duty cycle by writing to the  
CCPRxL register and CCPxCON<5:4> bits.  
3. Make the CCP pin an output by clearing the  
appropriate TRIS bit.  
The maximum PWM resolution (bits) for a given PWM  
frequency is given by Equation 17-3:  
4. Set the TMR2 (TMR4) prescale value, then  
enable Timer2 (Timer4) by writing to T2CON  
(T4CON).

PIC18F87J11 FAMILY  
The control register for the Enhanced CCP module is  
shown in Register 18-1. It differs from the CCP4CON/  
CCP5CON registers in that the two Most Significant  
bits are implemented to control PWM functionality.  
18.0 ENHANCED CAPTURE/  
COMPARE/PWM (ECCP)  
MODULE  
In the PIC18F87J11 family of devices, three of the CCP  
modules are implemented as standard CCP modules  
with Enhanced PWM capabilities. These include the  
provision for 2 or 4 output channels, user-selectable  
polarity, dead-band control and automatic shutdown  
and restart. The Enhanced features are discussed in  
detail in Section 18.4 “Enhanced PWM Mode”.  
Capture, Compare and single-output PWM functions of  
the ECCP module are the same as described for the  
standard CCP module.  
In addition to the expanded range of modes available  
through the Enhanced CCPxCON register, the ECCP  
modules each have two additional registers associated  
with Enhanced PWM operation and auto-shutdown  
features. They are:  
• ECCPxDEL (ECCPx PWM Delay)  
• ECCPxAS (ECCPx Auto-Shutdown Control)

Note 1: Implemented only for ECCP1 and ECCP2; same as ‘1010’ for ECCP3.  
An exception to this configuration is when a 12-bit  
18.1 ECCP Outputs and Configuration  
address width is selected for the external bus  
(EMB1:EMB0 Configuration bits = 01). In this case, the  
upper pins of PORTE continue to operate as digital I/O,  
even when the external bus is active. P1B/P1C and  
P3B/P3C remain available for use as Enhanced PWM  
outputs.  
Each of the Enhanced CCP modules may have up to  
four PWM outputs, depending on the selected  
operating mode. These outputs, designated PxA  
through PxD, are multiplexed with various I/O pins.  
Some ECCP pin assignments are constant, while  
others change based on device configuration. For  
those pins that do change, the controlling bits are:  
If an application requires the use of additional PWM  
outputs during enhanced microcontroller operation, the  
P1B/P1C and P3B/P3C outputs can be reassigned to  
the upper bits of PORTH. This is done by clearing the  
ECCPMX Configuration bit.  
• CCP2MX Configuration bit  
• ECCPMX Configuration bit (80-pin devices only)  
• Program Memory Operating mode, set by the  
EMB Configuration bits (80-pin devices only)  
18.1.2  
ECCP2 OUTPUTS AND PROGRAM  
MEMORY MODES  
The pin assignments for the Enhanced CCP modules  
are summarized in Table 18-1, Table 18-2 and  
Table 18-3. To configure the I/O pins as PWM outputs,  
the proper PWM mode must be selected by setting the  
PxMx and CCPxMx bits (CCPxCON<7:6> and <3:0>,  
respectively). The appropriate TRIS direction bits for  
the corresponding port pins must also be set as  
outputs.  
For 80-pin devices, the program memory mode of the  
device (Section 5.1.3 “PIC18F8xJ11/8XJ16 Program  
Memory Modes”) also impacts pin multiplexing for the  
module.  
The ECCP2 input/output (ECCP2/P2A) can be  
multiplexed to one of three pins. The default  
assignment (CCP2MX Configuration bit is set) for all  
devices is RC1. Clearing CCP2MX reassigns ECCP2/  
P2A to RE7.  
18.1.1  
ECCP1/ECCP3 OUTPUTS AND  
PROGRAM MEMORY MODE  
In 80-pin devices, the use of Extended Microcontroller  
mode has an indirect effect on the use of ECCP1 and  
ECCP3 in Enhanced PWM modes. By default, PWM  
outputs, P1B/P1C and P3B/P3C, are multiplexed to  
PORTE pins along with the high-order byte of the  
external memory bus. When the bus is active in  
Extended Microcontroller mode, it overrides the  
Enhanced CCP outputs and makes them unavailable.  
Because of this, ECCP1 and ECCP3 can only be used  
in compatible (single output) PWM modes when the  
device is in Extended Microcontroller mode and default  
pin configuration.  
An additional option exists for 80-pin devices. When  
these devices are operating in Microcontroller mode,  
the multiplexing options described above still apply. In  
Extended Microcontroller mode, clearing CCP2MX  
reassigns ECCP2/P2A to RB3.  
Changing the pin assignment of ECCP2 does not  
automatically change any requirements for configuring  
the port pin. Users must always verify that the  
appropriate TRIS register is configured correctly for  
ECCP2 operation regardless of where it is located.

18.1.3  
USE OF CCP4 AND CCP5 WITH  
ECCP1 AND ECCP3  
18.1.5  
OPEN-DRAIN OUTPUT OPTION  
When operating in compare or standard PWM modes,  
the drivers for the ECCP pins can be optionally  
configured as open-drain outputs. This feature allows  
the voltage level on the pin to be pulled to a higher level  
through an external pull-up resistor, and allows the  
output to communicate with external circuits without the  
need for additional level shifters. For more information,  
see Section 10.1.4 “Open-Drain Outputs”  
Only the ECCP2 module has four dedicated output pins  
that are available for use. Assuming that the I/O ports  
or other multiplexed functions on those pins are not  
needed, they may be used whenever needed without  
interfering with any other CCP module.  
ECCP1 and ECCP3, on the other hand, only have  
three dedicated output pins: ECCPx/PxA, PxB and  
PxC. Whenever these modules are configured for  
Quad PWM mode, the pin normally used for CCP4 or  
CCP5 becomes the PxD output pins for ECCP3 and  
ECCP1, respectively. The CCP4 and CCP5 modules  
remain functional but their outputs are overridden.  
The open-drain output option is controlled by the bits in  
the ODCON1 register. Setting the appropriate bit  
configures the pin for the corresponding module for  
open-drain operation. The ODCON1 memory shares  
the same address space as of TMR1H. The ODCON1  
register can be accessed by setting the ADSHR bit in  
the WDTCON register (WDTCON<4>).  
18.1.4  
ECCP MODULES AND TIMER  
RESOURCES  
Like the standard CCP modules, the ECCP modules  
can utilize Timers 1, 2, 3 or 4, depending on the mode  
selected. Timer1 and Timer3 are available for modules  
in Capture or Compare modes, while Timer2 and  
Timer4 are available for modules in PWM mode.  
Additional details on timer resources are provided in  
Section 17.1.1

18.2 Capture and Compare Modes  
18.3 Standard PWM Mode  
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  
CCP4. These are discussed in detail in Section 17.2  
“Capture Mode” and Section 17.3 “Compare  
Mode”.  
When configured in Single Output mode, the ECCP  
module functions identically to the standard CCP  
module in PWM mode, as described in Section 17.4  
“PWM Mode”. This is also sometimes referred to as  
“Compatible CCP” mode as in Tables 18-1  
through 18-3.  
Note:  
When setting up single output PWM  
operations, users are free to use either of  
the processes described in Section 17.4.3  
“Setup for PWM Operation” or  
Section 18.4.9 “Setup for PWM Opera-  
tion”. The latter is more generic but will  
work for either single or multi-output PWM.  
18.2.1  
SPECIAL EVENT TRIGGER  
ECCP1 and ECCP2 incorporate an internal hardware  
trigger that is generated in Compare mode on a match  
between the CCPRx register pair and the selected  
timer. This can be used in turn to initiate an action. This  
mode is selected by setting CCPxCON<3:0> to ‘1011’.  
The Special Event Trigger output of either ECCP1 or  
ECCP2 resets the TMR1 or TMR3 register pair, depend-  
ing on which timer resource is currently selected. This  
allows the CCPRx register pair to effectively be a 16-bit  
programmable period register for Timer1 or Timer3. In  
addition, the ECCP2 Special Event Trigger will also start  
an A/D conversion if the A/D module is enabled.  
Special Event Triggers are not implemented for  
ECCP3, CCP4 or CCP5. Selecting the Special Event  
Trigger mode for these modules has the same effect as  
selecting the Compare with Software Interrupt mode  
(CCPxM3:CCPxM0 = 1010).  
Note:  
The Special Event Trigger from ECCP2  
will not set the Timer1 or Timer3 interrupt  
flag bits.

DS39778D-page 209  
PIC18F87J11 FAMILY  
Enhanced PWM waveforms do not exactly match the  
standard PWM waveforms, but are instead offset by  
one full instruction cycle (4 TOSC).  
18.4 Enhanced PWM Mode  
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 PxA through PxD. 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 PxM1:PxM0 and  
CCPxM3:CCPxM0 bits of the CCPxCON register  
(CCPxCON<7:6> and CCPxCON<3:0>, respectively).  
As before, the user must manually configure the  
appropriate TRIS bits for output.  
18.4.1  
PWM PERIOD  
The PWM period is specified by writing to the PR2  
register. The PWM period can be calculated using the  
equation:  
EQUATION 18-1:  
For the sake of clarity, Enhanced PWM mode operation  
is described generically throughout this section with  
respect to the ECCP1 and TMR2 modules. Control reg-  
ister names are presented in terms of ECCP1. All three  
Enhanced modules, as well as the two timer resources,  
can be used interchangeably and function identically.  
TMR2 or TMR4 can be selected for PWM operation by  
selecting the proper bits in T3CON.  
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:  
• TMR2 is cleared  
Figure 18-1 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 ECCPx PWM Delay register, ECCPxDEL, which is  
loaded at either the duty cycle boundary or the bound-  
ary period (whichever comes first). Because of the  
buffering, the module waits until the assigned timer  
resets instead of starting immediately. This means that  
• The ECCP1 pin is set (if PWM duty cycle = 0%,  
the ECCP1 pin will not be set)  
• The PWM duty cycle is copied from CCPR1L into  
CCPR1H  
Note:  
The Timer2 postscaler (see Section 14.0  
“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.

18.4.2  
PWM DUTY CYCLE  
Note:  
If the PWM duty cycle value is longer than  
the PWM period, the ECCP1 pin will not  
be cleared.  
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:  
18.4.3  
PWM OUTPUT CONFIGURATIONS  
The P1M1:P1M0 bits in the CCP1CON register allow  
one of four configurations:  
• Single Output  
EQUATION 18-2:  
• Half-Bridge Output  
PWM Duty Cycle = (CCPR1L:CCP1CON<5:4>) •  
TOSC • (TMR2 Prescale Value)  
• Full-Bridge Output, Forward mode  
• Full-Bridge Output, Reverse mode  
The Single Output mode is the standard PWM mode  
discussed in Section 18.4 “Enhanced PWM Mode”.  
The Half-Bridge and Full-Bridge Output modes are  
covered in detail in the sections that follow.  
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.  
The general relationship of the outputs in all  
configurations is summarized in Figure 18-2.  
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 opera-  
tion. 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 ECCP1 pin is cleared. The  
maximum PWM resolution (bits) for a given PWM  
frequency is given by the equation:

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 18-4). This mode can be used for half-bridge  
applications, as shown in Figure 18-5, or for full-bridge  
applications, where four power switches are being  
modulated with two PWM signals.

In Half-Bridge Output mode, the programmable  
dead-band delay can be used to prevent shoot-through  
current in half-bridge power devices. The value of bits  
P1DC6:P1DC0 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 18.4.6  
“Programmable Dead-Band Delay” for more details

FULL-BRIDGE MODE  
In Full-Bridge Output mode, four pins are used as  
outputs; however, only two outputs are active at a time.  
In the Forward mode, pin P1A is continuously active  
and pin P1D is modulated. In the Reverse mode, pin  
P1C is continuously active and pin P1B is modulated.  
These are illustrated in Figure 18-6.

Figure 18-9 shows an example where the PWM direc-  
tion 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 18-7), for the duration of ‘t’. The same  
phenomenon will occur to power devices, QA and QB,  
for PWM direction change from reverse to forward.  
18.4.5.1  
Direction Change in Full-Bridge  
Output Mode  
In the Full-Bridge Output mode, the P1M1 bit in the  
CCP1CON register allows users 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 bits (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 18-8.  
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 ECCP1  
module does not provide any dead-band delay. In gen-  
eral, 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.

PROGRAMMABLE DEAD-BAND  
DELAY  
18.4.7  
ENHANCED PWM  
AUTO-SHUTDOWN  
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 flow-  
ing during switching, turning on either of the power  
switches is normally delayed to allow the other switch  
to completely turn off.  
When the ECCP1 is programmed for any of the  
Enhanced PWM modes, the active output pins may be  
configured for auto-shutdown. Auto-shutdown immedi-  
ately places the Enhanced PWM output pins into a  
defined shutdown state when a shutdown event  
occurs.  
A shutdown event can be caused by either of the two  
comparator modules or the FLT0 pin (or any combina-  
tion of these three sources). The comparators may be  
used to monitor a voltage input proportional to a current  
being monitored in the bridge circuit. If the voltage  
exceeds a threshold, the comparator switches state and  
triggers a shutdown. Alternatively, a low-level digital sig-  
nal on the FLT0 pin 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  
ECCP1AS2:ECCP1AS0 bits (ECCP1AS<6:4>).  
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 18-4 for illustration). The lower seven bits of  
the ECCPxDEL register (Register 18-2) set the delay  
period in terms of microcontroller instruction cycles  
(TCY or 4 TOSC).  
When a shutdown occurs, the output pins are  
asynchronously placed in their shutdown states,  
specified  
by  
the  
PSS1AC1:PSS1AC0  
and  
PSS1BD1:PSS1BD0 bits (ECCP1AS3:ECCP1AS0).  
Each pin pair (P1A/P1C and P1B/P1D) may be set to  
drive high, drive low or be tri-stated (not driving). The  
ECCP1ASE bit (ECCP1AS<7>) is also set to hold the  
Enhanced PWM outputs in their shutdown states.  
The ECCP1ASE bit is set by hardware when a  
shutdown event occurs. If automatic restarts are not  
enabled, the ECCP1ASE bit is cleared by firmware  
when the cause of the shutdown clears. If automatic  
restarts are enabled, the ECCP1ASE bit is automati-  
cally cleared when the cause of the auto-shutdown has  
cleared.  
If the ECCP1ASE bit is set when a PWM period begins,  
the PWM outputs remain in their shutdown state for that  
entire PWM period. When the ECCP1ASE bit is  
cleared, the PWM outputs will return to normal  
operation at the beginning of the next PWM period.  
Note:  
Writing to the ECCP1ASE bit is disabled  
while a shutdown condition is active.

18.4.7.1  
Auto-Shutdown and Automatic  
Restart  
18.4.8  
START-UP CONSIDERATIONS  
When the ECCP1 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 P1RSEN bit of the  
ECCP1DEL register (ECCP1DEL<7>).  
In Shutdown mode with P1RSEN = 1 (Figure 18-10),  
the ECCP1ASE bit will remain set for as long as the  
cause of the shutdown continues. When the shutdown  
condition clears, the ECCP1ASE bit is cleared. If  
P1RSEN = 0 (Figure 18-11), once a shutdown condi-  
tion occurs, the ECCP1ASE bit will remain set until it is  
cleared by firmware. Once ECCP1ASE 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 ECCP1ASE bit is disabled  
while a shutdown condition is active.  
Independent of the P1RSEN bit setting, if the  
auto-shutdown source is one of the comparators, the  
shutdown condition is a level. The ECCP1ASE 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 ECCP1 module may cause damage to the applica-  
tion circuit. The ECCP1 module must be enabled in the  
proper output mode and complete a full PWM cycle  
before configuring the PWM pins as outputs. The  
completion 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 ECCP1ASE bit.

PxRSEN bit (ECCPxDEL<7>).  
18.4.9  
SETUP FOR PWM OPERATION  
The following steps should be taken when configuring  
the ECCP module for PWM operation:  
9. Configure and start TMRn (TMR2 or TMR4):  
• Clear the TMRn interrupt flag bit by clearing  
the TMRnIF bit (PIR1<1> for Timer2 or  
PIR3<3> for Timer4).  
1. Configure the PWM pins PxA and PxB (and PxC  
and PxD, if used) as inputs by setting the  
corresponding TRIS bits.  
• Set the TMRn prescale value by loading the  
TnCKPS bits (TnCON<1:0>).  
2. Set the PWM period by loading the PR2 (PR4)  
register.  
• Enable Timer2 (or Timer4) by setting the  
TMRnON bit (TnCON<2>).  
3. Configure the ECCP module for the desired  
PWM mode and configuration by loading the  
CCPxCON register with the appropriate values:  
10. Enable PWM outputs after a new PWM cycle  
has started:  
• Select one of the available output  
configurations and direction with the  
PxM1:PxM0 bits.  
• Wait until TMRn overflows (TMRnIF bit is set).  
• Enable the ECCPx/PxA, PxB, PxC and/or  
PxD pin outputs by clearing the respective  
TRIS bits.  
• Select the polarities of the PWM output  
signals with the CCPxM3:CCPxM0 bits.  
• Clear the ECCPxASE bit (ECCPxAS<7>).  
4. Set the PWM duty cycle by loading the CCPRxL  
register and the CCPxCON<5:4> bits.  
18.4.10 EFFECTS OF A RESET  
5. For auto-shutdown:  
Both Power-on Reset and subsequent Resets will force  
all ports to Input mode and the ECCP registers to their  
Reset states.  
• Disable auto-shutdown; ECCPxASE = 0  
• Configure auto-shutdown source  
• Wait for Run condition  
This forces the Enhanced CCP module to reset to a  
state compatible with the standard CCP module.  
6. For Half-Bridge Output mode, set the  
dead-band delay by loading ECCPxDEL<6:0>  
with the appropriate value.  
7. If auto-shutdown operation is required, load the  
ECCPxAS register:  
• Select the auto-shutdown sources using the  
ECCPxAS2:ECCPxAS0 bits.  
• Select the shutdown states of the PWM  
output pins using the PSSxAC1:PSSxAC0  
and PSSxBD1:PSSxBD0 bits.  
• Set the ECCPxASE bit (ECCPxAS<7>).

19.0 MASTER SYNCHRONOUS  
SERIAL PORT (MSSP)  
MODULE  
The SPI mode allows 8 bits of data to be synchronously  
transmitted and received simultaneously. All four  
modes of SPI are supported. To accomplish  
communication, typically three pins are used:  
19.1 Master SSP (MSSP) Module  
Overview  
• Serial Data Out (SDOx) – RC5/SDO1 or  
RD4/SDO2  
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:  
• Serial Data In (SDIx) – RC4/SDI1/SDA1 or  
RD5/SDI2/SDA2  
• Serial Clock (SCKx) – RC3/SCK1/SCL1 or  
RD6/SCK2/SCL2  
Additionally, a fourth pin may be used when in a Slave  
mode of operation:  
• Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI)  
• Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C™)  
- Full Master mode  
• Slave Select (SSx) – RF7/SS1 or RD7/SS2  
Figure 19-1 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:

SSPxSR is the shift register used for shifting data in or  
out. SSPxBUF is the buffer register to which data  
bytes are written to or read from.  
19.3.1  
REGISTERS  
Each MSSP module has four registers for SPI mode  
operation. These are:  
In receive operations, SSPxSR and SSPxBUF  
together create a double-buffered receiver. When  
SSPxSR receives a complete byte, it is transferred to  
SSPxBUF and the SSPxIF interrupt is set.  
• MSSPx Control Register 1 (SSPxCON1)  
• MSSPx Status Register (SSPxSTAT)  
• Serial Receive/Transmit Buffer Register  
(SSPxBUF)  
During transmission, the SSPxBUF is not  
double-buffered. A write to SSPxBUF will write to both  
SSPxBUF and SSPxSR.  
• MSSPx Shift Register (SSPxSR) – Not directly  
accessible  
SSPxCON1 and SSPxSTAT are the control and status  
registers in SPI mode operation. The SSPxCON1  
register is readable and writable. The lower 6 bits of  
the SSPxSTAT are read-only. The upper two bits of the  
SSPxSTAT are read/write.

When the application software is expecting to receive  
valid data, the SSPxBUF should be read before the next  
byte of data to transfer is written to the SSPxBUF. The  
Buffer Full bit, BF (SSPxSTAT<0>), indicates when  
SSPxBUF has been loaded with the received data  
(transmission is complete). When the SSPxBUF is read,  
the BF bit is cleared. This data may be irrelevant if the  
SPI is only a transmitter. Generally, the MSSP interrupt  
is used to determine when the transmission/reception  
has completed. If the interrupt method is not going to be  
used, then software polling can be done to ensure that a  
write collision does not occur. Example 19-1 shows the  
loading of the SSPxBUF (SSPxSR) for data  
transmission.  
19.3.2  
OPERATION  
When initializing the SPI, several options need to be  
specified. This is done by programming the appropriate  
control bits (SSPxCON1<5:0> and SSPxSTAT<7:6>).  
These control bits allow the following to be specified:  
• Master mode (SCKx is the clock output)  
• Slave mode (SCKx is the clock input)  
• Clock Polarity (Idle state of SCKx)  
• Data Input Sample Phase (middle or end of data  
output time)  
• Clock Edge (output data on rising/falling edge of  
SCKx)  
• Clock Rate (Master mode only)  
The SSPxSR is not directly readable or writable and  
can only be accessed by addressing the SSPxBUF  
register. Additionally, the SSPxSTAT register indicates  
the various status conditions.  
• Slave Select mode (Slave mode only)  
Each MSSP module consists of a transmit/receive shift  
register (SSPxSR) and a buffer register (SSPxBUF).  
The SSPxSR shifts the data in and out of the device,  
MSb first. The SSPxBUF holds the data that was  
written to the SSPxSR until the received data is ready.  
Once the 8 bits of data have been received, that byte is  
moved to the SSPxBUF register. Then, the Buffer Full  
detect bit, BF (SSPxSTAT<0>) and the interrupt flag bit,  
SSPxIF, are set. This double-buffering of the received  
data (SSPxBUF) allows the next byte to start reception  
before reading the data that was just received. Any  
write to the SSPxBUF register during transmis-  
sion/reception of data will be ignored and the Write  
Collision Detect bit, WCOL (SSPxCON1<7>), will be  
set. User software must clear the WCOL bit so that it  
can be determined if the following write(s) to the  
SSPxBUF register completed successfully.  
19.3.3  
OPEN-DRAIN OUTPUT OPTION  
The drivers for the SDOx output and SCKx clock pins  
can be optionally configured as open-drain outputs.  
This feature allows the voltage level on the pin to be  
pulled to a higher level through an external pull-up  
resistor, and allows the output to communicate with  
external circuits without the need for additional level  
shifters. For more information, see Section 10.1.4  
“Open-Drain Outputs”.  
The open-drain output option is controlled by the  
SPI2OD and SPI1OD bits (ODCON3<1:0>). Setting an  
SPIxOD bit configures the SDOx and SCKx pins for the  
corresponding module for open-drain operation.  
The ODCON3 register shares the same address as the  
T1CON register. The ODCON3 register is accessed by  
setting the ADSHR bit in the WDTCON register  
(WDTCON<4>).

Any serial port function that is not desired may be  
overridden by programming the corresponding Data  
Direction (TRIS) register to the opposite value.  
19.3.4  
ENABLING SPI I/O  
To enable the serial port, MSSP Enable bit, SSPEN  
(SSPxCON1<5>), must be set. To reset or reconfigure  
SPI mode, clear the SSPEN bit, reinitialize the  
SSPxCON registers and then set the SSPEN bit. This  
configures the SDIx, SDOx, SCKx and SSx pins as  
serial port pins. For the pins to behave as the serial port  
function, some must have their data direction bits (in  
the TRIS register) appropriately programmed as  
follows:  
19.3.5  
TYPICAL CONNECTION  
Figure 19-2 shows a typical connection between two  
microcontrollers. The master controller (Processor 1)  
initiates the data transfer by sending the SCKx 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:  
• SDIx is automatically controlled by the  
SPI module  
• SDOx must have the TRISC<5> or TRISD<4> bit  
cleared  
• SCKx (Master mode) must have the TRISC<3> or  
TRISD<6>bit cleared  
• Master sends data – Slave sends dummy data  
• Master sends data – Slave sends data  
• SCKx (Slave mode) must have the TRISC<3> or  
TRISD<6> bit set  
• Master sends dummy data – Slave sends data  
• SSx must have the TRISF<7> or TRISD<7> bit  
set

shown in Figure 19-3, Figure 19-5 and Figure 19-6,  
where the MSB is transmitted first. In Master mode, the  
SPI clock rate (bit rate) is user programmable to be one  
of the following:  
19.3.6  
MASTER MODE  
The master can initiate the data transfer at any time  
because it controls the SCKx. The master determines  
when the slave (Processor 1, Figure 19-2) is to  
broadcast data by the software protocol.  
• FOSC/4 (or TCY)  
• FOSC/16 (or 4 • TCY)  
• FOSC/64 (or 16 • TCY)  
• Timer2 output/2  
In Master mode, the data is transmitted/received as  
soon as the SSPxBUF register is written to. If the SPI  
is only going to receive, the SDOx output could be dis-  
abled (programmed as an input). The SSPxSR register  
will continue to shift in the signal present on the SDIx  
pin at the programmed clock rate. As each byte is  
received, it will be loaded into the SSPxBUF register as  
if a normal received byte (interrupts and status bits  
appropriately set). This could be useful in receiver  
applications as a “Line Activity Monitor” mode.  
This allows a maximum data rate (at 40 MHz) of  
10.00 Mbps.  
Figure 19-3 shows the waveforms for Master mode.  
When the CKE bit is set, the SDOx data is valid before  
there is a clock edge on SCKx. The change of the input  
sample is shown based on the state of the SMP bit. The  
time when the SSPxBUF is loaded with the received  
data is shown.  
The clock polarity is selected by appropriately  
programming the CKP bit (SSPxCON1<4>). This then,  
would give waveforms for SPI communication as

transmitted byte and becomes a floating output. Exter-  
nal pull-up/pull-down resistors may be desirable  
depending on the application.  
19.3.7  
SLAVE MODE  
In Slave mode, the data is transmitted and received as  
the external clock pulses appear on SCKx. When the  
last bit is latched, the SSPxIF interrupt flag bit is set.  
Note 1: When the SPI is in Slave mode  
with  
SSx pin  
control  
enabled  
While in Slave mode, the external clock is supplied by  
the external clock source on the SCKx pin. This exter-  
nal clock must meet the minimum high and low times  
as specified in the electrical specifications.  
(SSPxCON1<3:0> = 0100), the SPI  
module will reset if the SSx pin is set to VDD.  
2: If the SPI is used in Slave mode with CKE  
set, then the SSx pin control must be  
enabled.  
While in Sleep mode, the slave can transmit/receive  
data. When a byte is received, the device can be  
configured to wake-up from Sleep.  
When the SPI module resets, the bit counter is forced  
to ‘0’. This can be done by either forcing the SSx pin to  
a high level or clearing the SSPEN bit.  
19.3.8  
SLAVE SELECT  
SYNCHRONIZATION  
To emulate two-wire communication, the SDOx pin can  
be connected to the SDIx pin. When the SPI needs to  
operate as a receiver, the SDOx pin can be configured  
as an input. This disables transmissions from the  
SDOx. The SDIx can always be left as an input (SDI  
function) since it cannot create a bus conflict.  
The SSx pin allows a Synchronous Slave mode. The  
SPI must be in Slave mode with the SSx pin control  
enabled (SSPxCON1<3:0> = 04h). When the SSx pin  
is low, transmission and reception are enabled and the  
SDOx pin is driven. When the SSx pin goes high, the  
SDOx pin is no longer driven, even if in the middle of a

OPERATION IN POWER-MANAGED  
MODES  
19.3.11 BUS MODE COMPATIBILITY  
Table 19-1 shows the compatibility between the  
standard SPI modes and the states of the CKP and  
CKE control bits.  
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.  
TABLE 19-1: SPI BUS MODES  
In Idle modes, a clock is provided to the peripherals.  
That clock can be from the primary clock source, the  
secondary clock (Timer1 oscillator) or the INTOSC  
source. See Section 2.3 “Clock Sources and  
Oscillator Switching” for additional information.

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 con-  
troller 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.  
19.3.12 SPI CLOCK SPEED AND MODULE  
INTERACTIONS  
If the Sleep mode is selected, all module clocks are  
halted and the transmission/reception will remain in  
that state until the device wakes. After the device  
returns to Run mode, the module will resume  
transmitting and receiving data.  
Because MSSP1 and MSSP2 are independent  
modules, they can operate simultaneously at different  
data rates. Setting the SSPM3:SSPM0 bits of the  
SSPxCON1 register determines the rate for the  
corresponding module.  
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 Trans-  
mit/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.  
An exception is when both modules use Timer2 as a  
time base in Master mode. In this instance, any  
changes to the Timer2 module’s operation will affect  
both MSSP modules equally. If different bit rates are  
required for each module, the user should select one of  
the other three time base options for one of the  
modules.  
19.3.10 EFFECTS OF A RESET  
A Reset disables the MSSP module and terminates the  
current transfer.

REGISTERS  
19.4 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.  
• MSSPx Control Register 1 (SSPxCON1)  
• MSSPx Control Register 2 (SSPxCON2)  
• MSSPx Status Register (SSPxSTAT)  
• Serial Receive/Transmit Buffer Register  
(SSPxBUF)  
Two pins are used for data transfer:  
• MSSPx Shift Register (SSPxSR) – Not directly  
accessible  
• Serial Clock (SCLx) – RC3/SCK1/SCL1 or  
RD6/SCK2/SCL2  
• MSSPx Address Register (SSPxADD)  
• I2C Slave Address Mask Register (SSPxMSK)  
• Serial Data (SDAx) – RC4/SDI1/SDA1 or  
RD5/SDI2/SDA2  
SSPxCON1, SSPxCON2 and SSPxSTAT are the  
control and status registers in I2C mode operation. The  
SSPxCON1 and SSPxCON2 registers are readable and  
writable. The lower 6 bits of the SSPxSTAT are  
read-only. The upper two bits of the SSPxSTAT are  
read/write.  
The user must configure these pins as inputs by setting  
the associated TRIS bits.  
FIGURE 19-7:

19.4.2  
OPERATION  
19.4.3.1  
Addressing  
The MSSP module functions are enabled by setting the  
MSSP Enable bit, SSPEN (SSPxCON1<5>).  
The SSPxCON1 register allows control of the I2C  
operation. Four mode selection bits (SSPxCON1<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 SSPxSR register. All  
incoming bits are sampled with the rising edge of the  
clock (SCLx) line. The value of register, SSPxSR<7:1>,  
is compared to the value of the SSPxADD register. The  
address is compared on the falling edge of the eighth  
clock (SCLx) 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 SCLx and SDAx pins to be open-drain,  
provided these pins are programmed as inputs by  
setting the appropriate TRISC or TRISD bits. To ensure  
proper operation of the module, pull-up resistors must  
be provided externally to the SCLx and SDAx pins.  
1. The SSPxSR register value is loaded into the  
SSPxBUF register.  
2. The Buffer Full bit, BF, is set.  
3. An ACK pulse is generated.  
4. The MSSP Interrupt Flag bit, SSPxIF, is set (and  
interrupt is generated, if enabled) on the falling  
edge of the ninth SCLx pulse.  
In 10-Bit Addressing 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 (SSPxSTAT<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  
addressing is as follows, with steps 7 through 9 for the  
slave-transmitter:  
19.4.3  
SLAVE MODE  
In Slave mode, the SCLx and SDAx pins must be  
configured 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. Address masking will  
allow the hardware to generate an interrupt for more  
than one address (up to 31 in 7-bit addressing and up  
to 63 in 10-bit addressing). 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 SSPxIF,  
BF and UA are set on address match).  
2. Update the SSPxADD register with second (low)  
byte of address (clears bit UA and releases the  
SCLx line).  
3. Read the SSPxBUF register (clears bit, BF) and  
clear flag bit, SSPxIF.  
4. Receive second (low) byte of address (bits  
SSPxIF, BF and UA are set).  
When an address is matched, or the data transfer after  
an address match is received, the hardware auto-  
matically will generate the Acknowledge (ACK) pulse  
and load the SSPxBUF register with the received value  
currently in the SSPxSR register.  
5. Update the SSPxADD register with the first  
(high) byte of address. If match releases SCLx  
line, this will clear bit UA.  
6. Read the SSPxBUF register (clears bit BF) and  
clear flag bit SSPxIF.  
Any combination of the following conditions will cause  
the MSSP module not to give this ACK pulse:  
7. Receive Repeated Start condition.  
• The Buffer Full bit, BF (SSPxSTAT<0>), was set  
before the transfer was received.  
8. Receive first (high) byte of address (bits SSPxIF  
and BF are set).  
• The overflow bit, SSPOV (SSPxCON1<6>), was  
set before the transfer was received.  
9. Read the SSPxBUF register (clears bit BF) and  
clear flag bit, SSPxIF.  
In this case, the SSPxSR register value is not loaded  
into the SSPxBUF, but bit SSPxIF is set. The BF bit is  
cleared by reading the SSPxBUF register, while bit  
SSPOV is cleared through software.  
The SCLx 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.

PIC18F87J11 FAMILY  
Acknowledge up to 31 addresses when using 7-bit  
addressing, or 63 addresses with 10-bit addressing  
(see Example 19-2). This Masking mode is selected  
when the MSSPMSK Configuration bit is programmed  
(‘0’).  
19.4.3.2  
Address Masking Modes  
Masking an address bit causes that bit to become a  
“don’t care”. When one address bit is masked, two  
addresses will be Acknowledged and cause an  
interrupt. It is possible to mask more than one address  
bit at a time, which greatly expands the number of  
addresses Acknowledged.  
The I2C Slave behaves the same way whether address  
masking is used or not. However, when address  
masking is used, the I2C slave can Acknowledge  
multiple addresses and cause interrupts. When this  
occurs, it is necessary to determine which address  
caused the interrupt by checking the SSPxBUF.  
The address mask in this mode is stored in the  
SSPxCON2 register, which stops functioning as a con-  
trol register in I2C Slave mode (Register 19-6). In 7-Bit  
Address Masking mode, address mask bits,  
ADMSK<5:1> (SSPxCON2<5:1>), mask the corre-  
sponding address bits in the SSPxADD register. For  
any ADMSK bits that are set (ADMSK<n> = 1), the cor-  
responding address bit is ignored (SSPxADD<n> = x).  
For the module to issue an address Acknowledge, it is  
sufficient to match only on addresses that do not have  
an active address mask.  
The PIC18F87J11 Family of devices is capable of using  
two different Address Masking modes in I2C Slave  
operation: 5-Bit Address Masking and 7-Bit Address  
Masking. The Masking mode is selected at device  
configuration using the MSSPMSK Configuration bit.  
The default device configuration is 7-Bit Address  
Masking.  
In 10-Bit Address Masking mode, bits ADMSK<5:2>  
mask the corresponding address bits in the SSPxADD  
register. In addition, ADMSK1 simultaneously masks  
the two LSbs of the address (SSPxADD<1:0>). For any  
ADMSK bits that are active (ADMSK<n> = 1), the cor-  
responding address bit is ignored (SPxADD<n> = x).  
Also note, that although in 10-Bit Address Masking  
mode, the upper address bits reuse part of the  
SSPxADD register bits. The address mask bits do not  
interact with those bits; they only affect the lower  
address bits.  
Both Masking modes, in turn, support address masking  
of 7-bit and 10-bit addresses. The combination of  
Masking modes and addresses provide different  
ranges of Acknowledgable addresses for each  
combination.  
While both Masking modes function in roughly the  
same manner, the way they use address masks are  
different.  
Note 1: ADMSK1 masks the two Least Significant  
bits of the address.  
2: The two Most Significant bits of the  
address are not affected by address  
masking.  
19.4.3.3  
5-Bit Address Masking Mode  
As the name implies, 5-Bit Address Masking mode  
uses an address mask of up to 5 bits to create a range  
of addresses to be Acknowledged, using bits 5 through  
1 of the incoming address. This allows the module to  
EXAMPLE 19-2:  
7-Bit Addressing:  
ADDRESS MASKING EXAMPLES IN 5-BIT MASKING MODE  
SSPADD<7:1>= A0h (1010000) (SSPADD<0> is assumed to be ‘0’)  
ADMSK<5:1> = 00111  
Addresses Acknowledged: A0h, A2h, A4h, A6h, A8h, AAh, ACh, AEh  
10-Bit Addressing:  
SSPADD<7:0> = A0h (10100000) (The two MSb of the address are ignored in this example, since they  
are not affected by masking)  
ADMSK<5:1> = 00111  
Addresses Acknowledged: A0h, A1h, A2h, A3h, A4h, A5h, A6h, A7h, A8h, A9h, AAh, ABh, ACh, ADh,  
AEh, AFh

PIC18F87J11 FAMILY  
Setting or clearing mask bits in SSPxMSK behaves in  
the opposite manner of the ADMSK bits in 5-Bit  
Address Masking mode. That is, clearing a bit in  
SSPxMSK causes the corresponding address bit to be  
masked; setting the bit requires a match in that  
position. SSPxMSK resets to all ‘1’s upon any Reset  
condition and, therefore, has no effect on the standard  
MSSP operation until written with a mask value.  
19.4.3.4  
7-Bit Address Masking Mode  
Unlike 5-bit masking, 7-Bit Address Masking mode  
uses a mask of up to 8 bits (in 10-bit addressing) to  
define a range of addresses than can be Acknowl-  
edged, using the lowest bits of the incoming address.  
This allows the module to Acknowledge up to 127 dif-  
ferent addresses with 7-bit addressing, or 255 with  
10-bit addressing (see Example 19-3). This mode is  
the default configuration of the module, and is selected  
when MSSPMSK is unprogrammed (‘1’).  
With 7-bit addressing, SSPxMSK<7:1> bits mask the  
corresponding address bits in the SSPxADD register.  
For any SSPxMSK bits that are active  
(SSPxMSK<n> = 0), the corresponding SSPxADD  
address bit is ignored (SSPxADD<n> = x). For the  
module to issue an address Acknowledge, it is suffi-  
cient to match only on addresses that do not have an  
active address mask.  
The address mask for 7-Bit Address Masking mode is  
stored in the SSPxMSK register, instead of the  
SSPxCON2 register. SSPxMSK is a separate hard-  
ware register within the module, but it is not directly  
addressable. Instead, it shares an address in the SFR  
space with the SSPxADD register. To access the  
SSPxMSK register, it is necessary to select MSSP  
mode, ‘1001’ (SSPCON1<3:0> = 1001), and then read  
or write to the location of SSPxADD.  
With 10-bit addressing, SSPxMSK<7:0> bits mask the  
corresponding address bits in the SSPxADD register.  
For any SSPxMSK bits that are active (= 0), the corre-  
sponding SSPxADD address bit is ignored  
(SSPxADD<n> = x).  
To use 7-Bit Address Masking mode, it is necessary to  
initialize SSPxMSK with a value before selecting the  
I2C Slave Addressing mode. Thus, the required  
sequence of events is:  
Note:  
The two Most Significant bits of the  
address are not affected by address  
masking.

mode  
(SSPxCON2<3:0> = 1001).  
2. Write the mask value to the appropriate

3. Set the appropriate I2C Slave mode  
(SSPxCON2<3:0>

for  
10-bit  
addressing, 0110for 7-bit addressing).

10-Bit Addressing:  
SSPxADD<7:0> = 1010 0000(The two MSb are ignored in this example since they are not affected)  
SSPxMSK<5:1> = 1111 0

19.4.3.5  
Reception  
19.4.3.6  
Transmission  
When the R/W bit of the address byte is clear and an  
address match occurs, the R/W bit of the SSPxSTAT  
register is cleared. The received address is loaded into  
the SSPxBUF register and the SDAx 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  
SSPxSTAT register is set. The received address is  
loaded into the SSPxBUF register. The ACK pulse will  
be sent on the ninth bit and pin SCLx is held low regard-  
less of SEN (see Section 19.4.4 “Clock Stretching”  
for more details). 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 SSPxBUF register which  
also loads the SSPxSR register. Then, pin SCLx should  
be enabled by setting bit, CKP (SSPxCON1<4>). The  
eight data bits are shifted out on the falling edge of the  
SCLx input. This ensures that the SDAx signal is valid  
during the SCLx high time (Figure 19-10).  
When the address byte overflow condition exists, then  
the no Acknowledge (ACK) pulse is given. An overflow  
condition is defined as either bit, BF (SSPxSTAT<0>),  
is set or bit, SSPOV (SSPxCON1<6>), is set.  
An MSSP interrupt is generated for each data transfer  
byte. The interrupt flag bit, SSPxIF, must be cleared in  
software. The SSPxSTAT register is used to determine  
the status of the byte.  
If SEN is enabled (SSPxCON2<0> = 1), SCLx will be  
held low (clock stretch) following each data transfer. The  
clock must be released by setting bit, CKP  
The ACK pulse from the master-receiver is latched on  
the rising edge of the ninth SCLx input pulse. If the  
SDAx line is high (not ACK), then the data transfer is  
complete. In this case, when the ACK is latched by the  
slave, the slave logic is reset and the slave monitors for  
another occurrence of the Start bit. If the SDAx line was  
low (ACK), the next transmit data must be loaded into  
the SSPxBUF register. Again, pin SCLx must be  
enabled by setting bit, CKP.  
(SSPxCON1<4>).  
See  
Section 19.4.4  
“Clock  
Stretching” for more details.  
An MSSP interrupt is generated for each data transfer  
byte. The SSPxIF bit must be cleared in software and  
the SSPxSTAT register is used to determine the status  
of the byte. The SSPxIF bit is set on the falling edge of  
the ninth clock pulse.

automatic clock stretching during a transmit sequence.  
The 7-Bit Slave Transmit mode implements clock  
stretching 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 (SSPxCON2<0>) allows clock stretching  
to be enabled during receives. Setting SEN will cause  
the SCLx 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 SCLx line  
low, the user has time to service the ISR and load the  
contents of the SSPxBUF before the master device  
can initiate another transmit sequence (see  
Figure 19-10).  
19.4.4.1  
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 SSPxCON1 register is  
automatically cleared, forcing the SCLx output to be  
held low. The CKP bit being cleared to ‘0’ will assert  
the SCLx line low. The CKP bit must be set in the  
user’s ISR before reception is allowed to continue. By  
holding the SCLx line low, the user has time to service  
the ISR and read the contents of the SSPxBUF before  
the master device can initiate another receive  
sequence. This will prevent buffer overruns from  
occurring (see Figure 19-15).  
Note 1: If the user loads the contents of  
SSPxBUF, 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.  
19.4.4.4  
Clock Stretching for 10-Bit Slave  
Transmit Mode  
Note 1: If the user reads the contents of the  
SSPxBUF 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.  
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 19-13).  
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.  
19.4.4.2  
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  
SSPxADD. Clock stretching will occur on each data  
receive sequence as described in 7-bit mode.  
Note:  
If the user polls the UA bit and clears it by  
updating the SSPxADD register before the  
falling edge of the ninth clock occurs, and  
if the user hasn’t cleared the BF bit by  
reading the SSPxBUF 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 SCLx line. The SCLx output will  
remain low until the CKP bit is set and all other  
devices on the I2C bus have deasserted SCLx. This  
ensures that a write to the CKP bit will not violate the  
minimum high time requirement for SCLx (see  
Figure 19-14).  
19.4.4.5  
Clock Synchronization and  
the CKP bit  
When the CKP bit is cleared, the SCLx output is forced  
to ‘0’. However, clearing the CKP bit will not assert the  
SCLx output low until the SCLx output is already  
sampled low. Therefore, the CKP bit will not assert the  
SCLx line until an external I2C master device has

If the general call address matches, the SSPxSR is  
transferred to the SSPxBUF, the BF flag bit is set  
(eighth bit), and on the falling edge of the ninth bit (ACK  
bit), the SSPxIF interrupt flag bit is set.  
19.4.5  
GENERAL CALL ADDRESS  
SUPPORT  
The addressing procedure for the I2C bus is such that  
the first byte after the Start condition usually  
determines 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  
SSPxBUF. The value can be used to determine if the  
address was device-specific or a general call address.  
In 10-Bit Addressing mode, the SSPxADD is required  
to be updated for the second half of the address to  
match and the UA bit is set (SSPxSTAT<1>). If the gen-  
eral call address is sampled when the GCEN bit is set,  
while the slave is configured in 10-Bit Addressing  
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 19-17).  
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  
(SSPxCON2<7> set). Following a Start bit detect, 8 bits  
are shifted into the SSPxSR and the address is  
compared against the SSPxADD. 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 SSPxBUF register to  
initiate transmission before the Start  
condition is complete. In this case, the  
SSPxBUF will not be written to and the  
WCOL bit will be set, indicating that a write  
to the SSPxBUF did not occur.  
Master mode is enabled by setting and clearing the  
appropriate SSPM bits in SSPxCON1 and by setting  
the SSPEN bit. In Master mode, the SCLx and SDAx  
lines are manipulated by the MSSP hardware if the  
TRIS bits are set.  
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 MSSP Interrupt  
Flag bit, SSPxIF, to be set (and MSSP 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 transmitted  
• Repeated Start  
1. Assert a Start condition on SDAx and SCLx.  
2. Assert a Repeated Start condition on SDAx and  
SCLx.  
3. Write to the SSPxBUF 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 SDAx and SCLx.

I2C Master Mode Operation  
A typical transmit sequence would go as follows:  
19.4.6.1  
1. The user generates a Start condition by setting  
the Start Enable bit, SEN (SSPxCON2<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. SSPxIF is set. The MSSP module will wait the  
required start time before any other operation  
takes place.  
3. The user loads the SSPxBUF with the slave  
address to transmit.  
In Master Transmitter mode, serial data is output  
through SDAx while SCLx outputs the serial clock. The  
first byte transmitted contains the slave address of the  
receiving device (7 bits) and the Read/Write (R/W) bit.  
In this case, the R/W bit will be logic ‘0’. Serial data is  
transmitted 8 bits at a time. After each byte is transmit-  
ted, an Acknowledge bit is received. Start and Stop  
conditions are output to indicate the beginning and the  
end of a serial transfer.  
4. Address is shifted out the SDAx 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  
SSPxCON2 register (SSPxCON2<6>).  
6. The MSSP module generates an interrupt at the  
end of the ninth clock cycle by setting the  
SSPxIF 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 SDAx, while SCLx outputs  
the serial clock. Serial data is received 8 bits at a time.  
After each byte is received, an Acknowledge bit is  
transmitted. Start and Stop conditions indicate the  
beginning and end of transmission.  
7. The user loads the SSPxBUF with eight bits of  
data.  
8. Data is shifted out the SDAx 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  
SSPxCON2 register (SSPxCON2<6>).  
10. The MSSP module generates an interrupt at the  
end of the ninth clock cycle by setting the  
SSPxIF bit.  
The Baud Rate Generator, used for the SPI mode  
operation, is used to set the SCLx clock frequency for  
either 100 kHz, 400 kHz or 1 MHz I2C operation. See  
Section 19.4.7 “Baud Rate” for more details.  
11. The user generates a Stop condition by setting  
the Stop Enable bit, PEN (SSPxCON2<2>).  
12. Interrupt is generated once the Stop condition is  
complete.

19.4.7  
BAUD RATE  
19.4.7.1  
Baud Rate and Module  
Interdependence  
In I2C Master mode, the Baud Rate Generator (BRG)  
reload value is placed in the lower 7 bits of the  
SSPxADD register (Figure 19-19). When a write  
occurs to SSPxBUF, 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.  
Because MSSP1 and MSSP2 are independent, they  
can operate simultaneously in I2C Master mode at  
different baud rates. This is done by using different  
BRG reload values for each module.  
Because this mode derives its basic clock source from  
the system clock, any changes to the clock will affect  
both modules in the same proportion. It may be  
possible to change one or both baud rates back to a  
previous value by changing the BRG reload value.  
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 SCLx pin  
will remain in its last state.  
Table 19-3 demonstrates clock rates based on  
instruction cycles and the BRG value loaded into  
SSPxADD.

SCLx pin is sampled high, the Baud Rate Generator is  
reloaded with the contents of SSPxADD<6:0> and  
begins counting. This ensures that the SCLx high time  
will always be at least one BRG rollover count in the  
event that the clock is held low by an external device  
(Figure 19-20).  
19.4.7.2  
Clock Arbitration  
Clock arbitration occurs when the master, during any  
receive, transmit or Repeated Start/Stop condition,  
deasserts the SCLx pin (SCLx allowed to float high).  
When the SCLx pin is allowed to float high, the Baud  
Rate Generator (BRG) is suspended from counting

I2C MASTER MODE START  
CONDITION TIMING  
Note:  
If, at the beginning of the Start condition,  
the SDAx and SCLx pins are already sam-  
pled low or if during the Start condition, the  
SCLx line is sampled low before the SDAx  
line is driven low, a bus collision occurs,  
the Bus Collision Interrupt Flag, BCLxIF, is  
set, the Start condition is aborted and the  
I2C module is reset into its Idle state.  
To initiate a Start condition, the user sets the Start  
Enable bit, SEN (SSPxCON2<0>). If the SDAx and  
SCLx pins are sampled high, the Baud Rate Generator  
is reloaded with the contents of SSPxADD<6:0> and  
starts its count. If SCLx and SDAx are both sampled  
high when the Baud Rate Generator times out (TBRG),  
the SDAx pin is driven low. The action of the SDAx  
being driven low while SCLx is high is the Start condi-  
tion and causes the S bit (SSPxSTAT<3>) to be set.  
Following this, the Baud Rate Generator is reloaded  
with the contents of SSPxADD<6:0> and resumes its  
count. When the Baud Rate Generator times out  
(TBRG), the SEN bit (SSPxCON2<0>) will be  
automatically cleared by hardware. The Baud Rate  
Generator is suspended, leaving the SDAx line held low  
and the Start condition is complete.  
19.4.8.1  
WCOL Status Flag  
If the user writes the SSPxBUF when a Start sequence  
is in progress, the WCOL bit is set and the contents of  
the buffer are unchanged (the write doesn’t occur).  
Note:  
Because queueing of events is not  
allowed, writing to the lower 5 bits of  
SSPxCON2 is disabled until the Start  
condition is complete.

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  
(SSPxCON2<1>) is programmed high and the I2C logic  
module is in the Idle state. When the RSEN bit is set,  
the SCLx pin is asserted low. When the SCLx pin is  
sampled low, the Baud Rate Generator is loaded with  
the contents of SSPxADD<5:0> and begins counting.  
The SDAx pin is released (brought high) for one Baud  
Rate Generator count (TBRG). When the Baud Rate  
Generator times out and if SDAx is sampled high, the  
SCLx pin will be deasserted (brought high). When  
SCLx is sampled high, the Baud Rate Generator is  
reloaded with the contents of SSPxADD<6:0> and  
begins counting. SDAx and SCLx must be sampled  
high for one TBRG. This action is then followed by  
assertion of the SDAx pin (SDAx = 0) for one TBRG  
while SCLx is high. Following this, the RSEN bit  
(SSPxCON2<1>) will be automatically cleared and the  
Baud Rate Generator will not be reloaded, leaving the  
SDAx pin held low. As soon as a Start condition is  
detected on the SDAx and SCLx pins, the S bit  
(SSPxSTAT<3>) will be set. The SSPxIF bit will not be  
set until the Baud Rate Generator has timed out.  
2: A bus collision during the Repeated Start  
condition occurs if:  
• SDAx is sampled low when SCLx  
goes from low-to-high.  
• SCLx goes low before SDAx is  
asserted low. This may indicate that  
another master is attempting to  
transmit a data ‘1’.  
Immediately following the SSPxIF bit getting set, the  
user may write the SSPxBUF with the 7-bit address in  
7-bit mode, or the default first address in 10-bit 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 mode) or eight bits of data (7-bit  
mode).  
19.4.9.1  
WCOL Status Flag  
If the user writes the SSPxBUF when a Repeated Start  
sequence is in progress, the WCOL is set and the  
contents of the buffer are unchanged (the write doesn’t  
occur).  
Note:  
Because queueing of events is not  
allowed, writing of the lower 5 bits of  
SSPxCON2 is disabled until the Repeated  
Start condition is complete.

19.4.10 I2C MASTER MODE TRANSMISSION  
The user should verify that the WCOL bit is clear after  
each write to SSPxBUF to ensure the transfer is correct.  
In all cases, WCOL must be cleared in software.  
Transmission of a data byte, a 7-bit address or the  
other half of a 10-bit address, is accomplished by sim-  
ply writing a value to the SSPxBUF register. This action  
will set the Buffer Full flag bit, BF, and allow the Baud  
Rate Generator to begin counting and start the next  
transmission. Each bit of address/data will be shifted  
out onto the SDAx pin after the falling edge of SCLx is  
asserted (see data hold time specification  
parameter 106). SCLx is held low for one Baud Rate  
Generator rollover count (TBRG). Data should be valid  
before SCLx is released high (see data setup time  
specification parameter 107). When the SCLx pin is  
released high, it is held that way for TBRG. The data on  
the SDAx pin must remain stable for that duration and  
some hold time after the next falling edge of SCLx.  
After the eighth bit is shifted out (the falling edge of the  
eighth clock), the BF flag is cleared and the master  
releases SDAx. This allows the slave device being  
addressed to respond with an ACK bit during the ninth  
bit time if an address match occurred, or if data was  
received 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 SSPxIF bit is set and the  
master clock (Baud Rate Generator) is suspended until  
the next data byte is loaded into the SSPxBUF, leaving  
SCLx low and SDAx unchanged (Figure 19-23).  
19.4.10.3 ACKSTAT Status Flag  
In Transmit mode, the ACKSTAT bit (SSPxCON2<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.  
19.4.11 I2C MASTER MODE RECEPTION  
Master mode reception is enabled by programming the  
Receive Enable bit, RCEN (SSPxCON2<3>).  
Note:  
The MSSP module must be in an inactive  
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 SCLx pin changes  
(high-to-low/low-to-high) and data is shifted into the  
SSPxSR. After the falling edge of the eighth clock, the  
receive enable flag is automatically cleared, the con-  
tents of the SSPxSR are loaded into the SSPxBUF, the  
BF flag bit is set, the SSPxIF flag bit is set and the Baud  
Rate Generator is suspended from counting, holding  
SCLx low. The MSSP is now in Idle state awaiting the  
next command. When the buffer is read by the CPU,  
the BF flag bit is automatically cleared. The user can  
then send an Acknowledge bit at the end of reception  
by setting the Acknowledge Sequence Enable bit,  
ACKEN (SSPxCON2<4>).  
After the write to the SSPxBUF, each bit of the address  
will be shifted out on the falling edge of SCLx until all  
seven address bits and the R/W bit are completed. On  
the falling edge of the eighth clock, the master will  
deassert the SDAx pin, allowing the slave to respond  
with an Acknowledge. On the falling edge of the ninth  
clock, the master will sample the SDAx pin to see if the  
address was recognized by a slave. The status of the  
ACK bit is loaded into the ACKSTAT status bit  
(SSPxCON2<6>). Following the falling edge of the  
ninth clock transmission of the address, the SSPxIF  
flag is set, the BF flag is cleared and the Baud Rate  
Generator is turned off until another write to the  
SSPxBUF takes place, holding SCLx low and allowing  
SDAx to float.  
19.4.11.1 BF Status Flag  
In receive operation, the BF bit is set when an address  
or data byte is loaded into SSPxBUF from SSPxSR. It  
is cleared when the SSPxBUF register is read.  
19.4.11.2 SSPOV Status Flag  
In receive operation, the SSPOV bit is set when 8 bits  
are received into the SSPxSR and the BF flag bit is  
already set from a previous reception.  
19.4.11.3 WCOL Status Flag  
19.4.10.1 BF Status Flag  
If the user writes the SSPxBUF when a receive is  
already in progress (i.e., SSPxSR is still shifting in a  
data byte), the WCOL bit is set and the contents of the  
buffer are unchanged (the write doesn’t occur).  
In Transmit mode, the BF bit (SSPxSTAT<0>) is set  
when the CPU writes to SSPxBUF and is cleared when  
all 8 bits are shifted out.  
19.4.10.2 WCOL Status Flag  
If the user writes the SSPxBUF when a transmit is  
already in progress (i.e., SSPxSR is still shifting out a  
data byte), the WCOL bit is set and the contents of the  
buffer are unchanged (the write doesn’t occur) after  
2 TCY after the SSPxBUF write. If SSPxBUF is rewritten  
within 2 TCY, the WCOL bit is set and SSPxBUF is  
updated. This may result in a corrupted transfer.

19.4.12 ACKNOWLEDGE SEQUENCE  
TIMING  
19.4.13 STOP CONDITION TIMING  
A Stop bit is asserted on the SDAx pin at the end of a  
receive/transmit by setting the Stop Sequence Enable  
bit, PEN (SSPxCON2<2>). At the end of  
An Acknowledge sequence is enabled by setting the  
Acknowledge Sequence Enable bit, ACKEN  
(SSPxCON2<4>). When this bit is set, the SCLx pin is  
pulled low and the contents of the Acknowledge data bit  
are presented on the SDAx pin. If the user wishes to  
generate an Acknowledge, then the ACKDT bit should  
be cleared. If not, the user should set the ACKDT bit  
before starting an Acknowledge sequence. The Baud  
Rate Generator then counts for one rollover period  
(TBRG) and the SCLx pin is deasserted (pulled high).  
When the SCLx pin is sampled high (clock arbitration),  
the Baud Rate Generator counts for TBRG; the SCLx pin  
is then pulled low. Following this, the ACKEN bit is auto-  
matically cleared, the Baud Rate Generator is turned off  
and the MSSP module then goes into an inactive state  
(Figure 19-25).  
a
receive/transmit, the SCLx line is held low after the  
falling edge of the ninth clock. When the PEN bit is set,  
the master will assert the SDAx line low. When the  
SDAx line is sampled low, the Baud Rate Generator is  
reloaded and counts down to 0. When the Baud Rate  
Generator times out, the SCLx pin will be brought high  
and one TBRG (Baud Rate Generator rollover count)  
later, the SDAx pin will be deasserted. When the SDAx  
pin is sampled high while SCLx is high, the P bit  
(SSPxSTAT<4>) is set. A TBRG later, the PEN bit is  
cleared and the SSPxIF bit is set (Figure 19-26).  
19.4.13.1 WCOL Status Flag  
If the user writes the SSPxBUF 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).  
19.4.12.1 WCOL Status Flag  
If the user writes the SSPxBUF when an Acknowledge  
sequence is in progress, then WCOL is set and the

19.4.14 SLEEP OPERATION  
19.4.17 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 SDAx pin, arbitration takes place when the master  
outputs a ‘1’ on SDAx, by letting SDAx float high, and  
another master asserts a ‘0’. When the SCLx pin floats  
high, data should be stable. If the expected data on  
SDAx is a ‘1’ and the data sampled on the SDAx  
pin = 0, then a bus collision has taken place. The  
master will set the Bus Collision Interrupt Flag, BCLxIF  
and reset the I2C port to its Idle state (Figure 19-27).  
19.4.15 EFFECTS OF A RESET  
A Reset disables the MSSP module and terminates the  
current transfer.  
19.4.16 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 (SSPxSTAT<4>) is set, or the  
bus is Idle, with both the S and P bits clear. When the  
bus is busy, enabling the MSSP interrupt will generate  
the interrupt when the Stop condition occurs.  
If a transmit was in progress when the bus collision  
occurred, the transmission is halted, the BF flag is  
cleared, the SDAx and SCLx lines are deasserted and  
the SSPxBUF can be written to. When the user 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 SDAx 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 BCLxIF bit.  
If a Start, Repeated Start, Stop or Acknowledge condition  
was in progress when the bus collision occurred, the con-  
dition is aborted, the SDAx and SCLx lines are  
deasserted and the respective control bits in the  
SSPxCON2 register are cleared. When the user services  
the bus collision Interrupt Service Routine, and if the I2C  
bus is free, the user can resume communication by  
asserting a Start condition.  
The states where arbitration can be lost are:  
• Address Transfer  
• Data Transfer  
• A Start Condition  
The master will continue to monitor the SDAx and SCLx  
pins. If a Stop condition occurs, the SSPxIF bit will be set.  
• A Repeated Start Condition  
• An Acknowledge Condition  
A write to the SSPxBUF will start the transmission of  
data at the first data bit regardless of where the  
transmitter left off when the bus collision occurred.  
In Multi-Master mode, the interrupt generation on the  
detection of Start and Stop conditions allows the determi-  
nation of when the bus is free. Control of the I2C bus can  
be taken when the P bit is set in the SSPxSTAT register,  
or the bus is Idle and the S and P bits are cleared.

If the SDAx pin is sampled low during this count, the  
BRG is reset and the SDAx line is asserted early  
(Figure 19-30). If, however, a ‘1’ is sampled on the  
SDAx pin, the SDAx 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 SCLx pin is  
sampled as ‘0’ during this time, a bus collision does not  
occur. At the end of the BRG count, the SCLx pin is  
asserted low.  
19.4.17.1 Bus Collision During a Start  
Condition  
During a Start condition, a bus collision occurs if:  
a) SDAx or SCLx is sampled low at the beginning  
of the Start condition (Figure 19-28).  
b) SCLx is sampled low before SDAx is asserted  
low (Figure 19-29).  
During a Start condition, both the SDAx and the SCLx  
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 SDAx before the other.  
This condition does not cause a bus colli-  
sion 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 SDAx pin is already low, or the SCLx pin is  
already low, then all of the following occur:  
• the Start condition is aborted,  
• the BCLxIF flag is set and  
• the MSSP module is reset to its inactive state  
(Figure 19-28)  
The Start condition begins with the SDAx and SCLx  
pins deasserted. When the SDAx pin is sampled high,  
the Baud Rate Generator is loaded from  
SSPxADD<6:0> and counts down to 0. If the SCLx pin  
is sampled low while SDAx is high, a bus collision  
occurs because it is assumed that another master is  
attempting to drive a data ‘1’ during the Start condition.

If SDAx is low, a bus collision has occurred (i.e., another  
19.4.17.2 Bus Collision During a Repeated  
Start Condition  
master is attempting to transmit  
a
data ‘0’,  
Figure 19-31). If SDAx is sampled high, the BRG is  
reloaded and begins counting. If SDAx goes from  
high-to-low before the BRG times out, no bus collision  
occurs because no two masters can assert SDAx at  
exactly the same time.  
During a Repeated Start condition, a bus collision  
occurs if:  
a) A low level is sampled on SDAx when SCLx  
goes from a low level to a high level.  
b) SCLx goes low before SDAx is asserted low,  
indicating that another master is attempting to  
transmit a data ‘1’.  
If SCLx goes from high-to-low before the BRG times  
out and SDAx has not already been asserted, a bus  
collision occurs. In this case, another master is  
attempting to transmit a data ‘1’ during the Repeated  
Start condition (see Figure 19-32).  
When the user deasserts SDAx and the pin is allowed  
to float high, the BRG is loaded with SSPxADD<6:0>  
and counts down to 0. The SCLx pin is then deasserted  
and when sampled high, the SDAx pin is sampled.  
If, at the end of the BRG time-out, both SCLx and SDAx  
are still high, the SDAx pin is driven low and the BRG is  
reloaded and begins counting. At the end of the count,  
regardless of the status of the SCLx pin, the SCLx pin is  
driven low and the Repeated Start condition is complete.

The Stop condition begins with SDAx asserted low.  
When SDAx is sampled low, the SCLx pin is allowed to  
float. When the pin is sampled high (clock arbitration),  
the Baud Rate Generator is loaded with  
SSPxADD<6:0> and counts down to 0. After the BRG  
times out, SDAx is sampled. If SDAx is sampled low, a  
bus collision has occurred. This is due to another  
master attempting to drive a data ‘0’ (Figure 19-33). If  
the SCLx pin is sampled low before SDAx is allowed to  
float high, a bus collision occurs. This is another case  
of another master attempting to drive a data ‘0’  
(Figure 19-34).  
19.4.17.3 Bus Collision During a Stop

Bus collision occurs during a Stop condition if:  
a) After the SDAx pin has been deasserted and  
allowed to float high, SDAx is sampled low after

b) After the SCLx pin is deasserted, SCLx is  
sampled low before SDAx goes high.

PIC18F87J11 FAMILY  
The pins of EUSART1 and EUSART2 are multiplexed  
with the functions of PORTC (RC6/TX1/CK1 and  
RC7/RX1/DT1) and PORTG (RG1/TX2/CK2 and  
RG2/RX2/DT2), respectively. In order to configure  
these pins as an EUSART:  
20.0 ENHANCED UNIVERSAL  
SYNCHRONOUS  
ASYNCHRONOUS RECEIVER  
TRANSMITTER (EUSART)  
• For EUSART1:  
The Enhanced Universal Synchronous Asynchronous  
Receiver Transmitter (EUSART) module is one of two  
serial I/O modules. (Generically, the EUSART 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.  
- bit SPEN (RCSTA1<7>) must be set (= 1)  
- bit TRISC<7> must be set (= 1)  
- bit TRISC<6> must be cleared (= 0) for  
Asynchronous and Synchronous Master  
modes  
- bit TRISC<6> must be set (= 1) for  
Synchronous Slave mode  
• For EUSART2:  
- bit SPEN (RCSTA2<7>) must be set (= 1)  
- bit TRISG<2> must be set (= 1)  
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.  
- bit TRISG<1> must be cleared (= 0) for  
Asynchronous and Synchronous Master  
modes  
- bit TRISC<6> must be set (= 1) for  
Synchronous Slave mode  
All members of the PIC18F87J11 family are equipped  
with two independent EUSART modules, referred to as  
EUSART1 and EUSART2. They can be configured in  
the following modes:  
Note:  
The EUSART control will automatically  
reconfigure the pin from input to output as  
needed.  
The operation of each Enhanced USART module is  
controlled through three registers:  
• Asynchronous (full duplex) with:  
- Auto-wake-up on character reception  
- Auto-baud calibration  
• Transmit Status and Control (TXSTAx)  
• Receive Status and Control (RCSTAx)  
• Baud Rate Control (BAUDCONx)  
- 12-bit Break character transmission  
• Synchronous – Master (half duplex) with  
selectable clock polarity  
These are detailed on the following pages in  
Register 20-1, Register 20-2 and Register 20-3,  
respectively.  
• Synchronous – Slave (half duplex) with selectable  
clock polarity  
Note:  
Throughout this section, references to  
register and bit names that may be associ-  
ated with a specific EUSART module are

place of the specific module number.  
Thus, “RCSTAx” might refer to the  
Receive Status register for either  
EUSART1 or EUSART2.

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.  
20.1  
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 (BAUDCONx<3>)  
selects 16-bit mode.  
Writing a new value to the SPBRGHx:SPBRGx regis-  
ters 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 SPBRGHx:SPBRGx register pair controls the period  
of a free-running timer. In Asynchronous mode, bits  
BRGH (TXSTAx<2>) and BRG16 (BAUDCONx<3>) also  
control the baud rate. In Synchronous mode, BRGH is  
ignored. Table 20-1 shows the formula for computation of  
the baud rate for different EUSART modes which only  
apply in Master mode (internally generated clock).  
20.1.1  
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 SPBRGx register pair.  
Given the desired baud rate and FOSC, the nearest  
integer value for the SPBRGHx:SPBRGx registers can  
be calculated using the formulas in Table 20-1. From this,  
the error in baud rate can be determined. An example  
calculation is shown in Example 20-1. Typical baud rates  
and error values for the various Asynchronous modes  
are shown in Table 20-2. It may be advantageous to use  
20.1.2  
SAMPLING  
The data on the RXx pin (either RC7/RX1/DT1 or  
RG2/RX2/DT2) is sampled three times by a majority  
detect circuit to determine if a high or a low level is  
present at the RXx pin.

EXAMPLE 20-1:  
CALCULATING BAUD RATE ERROR  
For a device with FOSC of 16 MHz, desired baud rate of 9600, Asynchronous mode, and 8-bit BRG:

Solving for SPBRGHx:SPBRGx:

20.1.3  
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 tim-  
ing and communication baud rates must  
be taken into consideration when using the  
Auto-Baud Rate Detection feature.  
The automatic baud rate measurement sequence  
(Figure 20-1) 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 RXx signal, the RXx 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.  
3: Ensure that BRG16 (BAUDCON<3>) is  
set, to enable the auto-baud feature.  
TABLE 20-4: 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 SPBRGx begins counting up, using  
the preselected clock source on the first rising edge of  
RXx. After eight bits on the RXx pin or the fifth rising  
edge, an accumulated value totalling the proper BRG  
period is left in the SPBRGHx:SPBRGx 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, SPBRGx and  
SPBRGHx are both used as a 16-bit counter,  
independent of BRG16 setting.  
20.1.3.1  
ABD and EUSART Transmission  
If a rollover of the BRG occurs (an overflow from FFFFh  
to 0000h), the event is trapped by the ABDOVF status  
bit (BAUDCONx<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 20-2).  
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,  
TXREGx 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.  
While calibrating the baud rate period, the BRG regis-  
ters are clocked at 1/8th the preconfigured clock rate.  
Note that the BRG clock will be configured by the  
BRG16 and BRGH bits. This allows the user to verify  
that no carry occurred for 8-bit modes by checking for  
00h in the SPBRGHx register. Refer to Table 20-4 for  
counter clock rates to the BRG.  
While the ABD sequence takes place, the EUSART  
state machine is held in Idle. The RCxIF interrupt is set  
once the fifth rising edge on RXx is detected. The value  
in the RCREGx needs to be read to clear the RCxIF  
interrupt. The contents of RCREGx should be  
discarded.

Once the TXREGx register transfers the data to the TSR  
register (occurs in one TCY), the TXREGx register is  
empty and the TXxIF flag bit is set. This interrupt can be  
enabled or disabled by setting or clearing the interrupt  
enable bit, TXxIE. TXxIF will be set regardless of the  
state of TXxIE; it cannot be cleared in software. TXxIF is  
also not cleared immediately upon loading TXREGx, but  
becomes valid in the second instruction cycle following  
the load instruction. Polling TXxIF immediately following  
a load of TXREGx will return invalid results.  
20.2 EUSART Asynchronous Mode  
The Asynchronous mode of operation is selected by  
clearing the SYNC bit (TXSTAx<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 (TXSTAx<2> and BAUDCONx<3>).  
Parity is not supported by the hardware but can be  
implemented in software and stored as the 9th data bit.  
While TXxIF indicates the status of the TXREGx regis-  
ter; another bit, TRMT (TXSTAx<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, TXxIF, is set when enable bit,  
• Baud Rate Generator  
TXEN, is set.  
• Sampling Circuit  
To set up an Asynchronous Transmission:  
• Asynchronous Transmitter  
• Asynchronous Receiver  
1. Initialize the SPBRGHx:SPBRGx registers for  
the appropriate baud rate. Set or clear the  
BRGH and BRG16 bits, as required, to achieve  
the desired baud rate.  
• Auto-Wake-up on Sync Break Character  
• 12-Bit Break Character Transmit  
• Auto-Baud Rate Detection  
2. Enable the asynchronous serial port by clearing  
bit SYNC and setting bit, SPEN.

EUSART ASYNCHRONOUS  
TRANSMITTER  
3. If interrupts are desired, set enable bit, TXxIE.  
4. If 9-bit transmission is desired, set transmit bit  
TX9. Can be used as address/data bit.  
The EUSART transmitter block diagram is shown in  
Figure 20-3. 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,  
TXREGx. The TXREGx 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 TXREGx register (if available).  
5. Enable the transmission by setting bit, TXEN,  
which will also set bit, TXxIF.  
6. If 9-bit transmission is selected, the ninth bit  
should be loaded in bit, TX9D.  
7. Load data to the TXREGx register (starts  
transmission).  
8. If using interrupts, ensure that the GIE and PEIE  
bits in the INTCON register (INTCON<7:6>) are  
set.

RECEIVER  
20.2.3  
SETTING UP 9-BIT MODE WITH  
ADDRESS DETECT  
The receiver block diagram is shown in Figure 20-6.  
The data is received on the RXx 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 SPBRGHx:SPBRGx 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 SPBRGHx:SPBRGx registers for

3. If interrupts are required, set the RCEN bit and  
select the desired priority level with the RCxIP 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.

6. Flag bit, RCxIF, will be set when reception is  
complete and an interrupt will be generated if  
enable bit, RCxIE, was set.  
8. Read the RCSTAx register to determine if any  
error occurred during reception, as well as read  
bit 9 of data (if applicable).  
7. Read the RCSTAx register to get the 9th bit (if  
enabled) and determine if any error occurred  
during reception.  
9. Read RCREGx 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

Sync Break or a Wake-up Signal character for the LIN  
protocol.)  
20.2.4  
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 RXx/DTx line while the  
EUSART is operating in Asynchronous mode.  
Following a wake-up event, the module generates an  
RCxIF interrupt. The interrupt is generated synchro-  
nously to the Q clocks in normal operating modes  
(Figure 20-8) and asynchronously if the device is in  
Sleep mode (Figure 20-9). The interrupt condition is  
cleared by reading the RCREGx register.  
The auto-wake-up feature is enabled by setting the  
WUE bit (BAUDCONx<1>). Once set, the typical  
receive sequence on RXx/DTx is disabled and the  
EUSART remains in an Idle state, monitoring for a  
wake-up event independent of the CPU mode. A  
wake-up event consists of a high-to-low transition on  
The WUE bit is automatically cleared once a low-to-high  
transition is observed on the RXx 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.

20.2.4.1  
Special Considerations Using  
Auto-Wake-up  
20.2.4.2  
Special Considerations Using  
the WUE Bit  
Since auto-wake-up functions by sensing rising edge  
transitions on RXx/DTx, information with any state  
changes before the Stop bit may signal a false  
End-of-Character (EOC) and cause data or framing  
errors. To work properly, therefore, the initial character  
in the transmission must be all ‘0’s. This can be 00h  
(8 bytes) for standard RS-232 devices or 000h (12 bits)  
for LIN bus.  
The timing of WUE and RCxIF 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 RCxIF bit. The WUE bit  
is cleared after this when a rising edge is seen on  
RXx/DTx. The interrupt condition is then cleared by  
reading the RCREGx register. Ordinarily, the data in  
RCREGx will be dummy data and should be discarded.  
Oscillator start-up time must also be considered,  
especially in applications using oscillators with longer  
start-up intervals (i.e., HS or HSPLL 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 fact that the WUE bit has been cleared (or is still  
set) and the RCxIF flag is set should not be used as an  
indicator of the integrity of the data in RCREGx. Users  
should consider implementing a parallel method in  
firmware to verify received data integrity.  
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.

1. Configure the EUSART for the desired mode.  
20.2.5  
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 (TXSTAx<3> and  
TXSTAx<5>) are set while the Transmit Shift Register  
is loaded with data. Note that the value of data written  
to TXREGx will be ignored and all ‘0’s will be  
transmitted.  
3. Load the TXREGx with a dummy character to  
initiate transmission (the value is ignored).  
4. Write ‘55h’ to TXREGx 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.  
When the TXREGx becomes empty, as indicated by  
the TXxIF, the next data byte can be written to  
TXREGx.  
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).  
20.2.6  
RECEIVING A BREAK CHARACTER  
The Enhanced USART module can receive a Break  
character in two ways.  
Note that the data value written to the TXREGx 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 20-10 for the timing of the Break  
character sequence.  
The second method uses the auto-wake-up feature  
described in Section 20.2.4 “Auto-Wake-up on Sync  
Break Character”. By enabling this feature, the  
EUSART will sample the next two transitions on  
RXx/DTx, cause an RCxIF interrupt and receive the  
next data byte followed by another interrupt.  
20.2.5.1  
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 ABDEN  
bit once the TXxIF interrupt is observed.

Once the TXREGx register transfers the data to the  
TSR register (occurs in one TCY), the TXREGx is empty  
and the TXxIF flag bit is set. The interrupt can be  
enabled or disabled by setting or clearing the interrupt  
enable bit, TXxIE. TXxIF is set regardless of the state  
of enable bit, TXxIE; it cannot be cleared in software. It  
will reset only when new data is loaded into the  
TXREGx register.  
20.3 EUSART Synchronous  
Master Mode  
The Synchronous Master mode is entered by setting  
the CSRC bit (TXSTAx<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 (TXSTAx<4>). In addition, enable bit, SPEN  
(RCSTAx<7>), is set in order to configure the TXx and  
RXx pins to CKx (clock) and DTx (data) lines,  
respectively.  
While flag bit, TXxIF, indicates the status of the TXREGx  
register, another bit, TRMT (TXSTAx<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 must poll this bit in order to determine  
if the TSR register is empty. The TSR is not mapped in  
data memory so it is not available to the user.  
The Master mode indicates that the processor trans-  
mits the master clock on the CKx line. Clock polarity is  
selected with the TXCKP bit (BAUDCONx<4>). Setting  
TXCKP sets the Idle state on CKx as high, while clear-  
ing 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 SPBRGHx:SPBRGx registers for the  
appropriate baud rate. Set or clear the BRG16  
bit, as required, to achieve the desired baud rate.  
20.3.1  
EUSART SYNCHRONOUS MASTER  
TRANSMISSION  
2. Enable the synchronous master serial port by  
setting bits, SYNC, SPEN and CSRC.  
3. If interrupts are desired, set enable bit, TXxIE.  
4. If 9-bit transmission is desired, set bit, TX9.  
5. Enable the transmission by setting bit, TXEN.  
The EUSART transmitter block diagram is shown in  
Figure 20-3. 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,  
TXREGx. The TXREGx 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 TXREGx (if available).  
6. If 9-bit transmission is selected, the ninth bit  
should be loaded in bit, TX9D.  
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.

20.3.2  
EUSART SYNCHRONOUS  
MASTER RECEPTION  
Once Synchronous mode is selected, reception is  
enabled by setting either the Single Receive Enable bit,  
SREN (RCSTAx<5>) or the Continuous Receive  
Enable bit, CREN (RCSTAx<4>). Data is sampled on  
the RXx 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.  
To set up a Synchronous Master Reception:  
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.  
1. Initialize the SPBRGHx:SPBRGx 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:  
20.4 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 (TXSTAx<7>). This mode differs from the  
Synchronous Master mode in that the shift clock is sup-  
plied externally at the CKx 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, TXxIE.  
4. If 9-bit transmission is desired, set bit, TX9.  
5. Enable the transmission by setting enable bit,  
TXEN.

6. If 9-bit transmission is selected, the ninth bit

modes is identical, except in the case of Sleep mode.  
7. Start transmission by loading data to the  
TXREGx register.  
If two words are written to the TXREGx and then the  
SLEEPinstruction is executed, the following will occur:  
8. If using interrupts, ensure that the GIE and PEIE  
bits in the INTCON register (INTCON<7:6>) are  
set.  
a) The first word will immediately transfer to the  
TSR register and transmit.  
b) The second word will remain in the TXREGx  
register.  
c) Flag bit, TXxIF, will not be set.  
d) When the first word has been shifted out of TSR,  
the TXREGx register will transfer the second  
word to the TSR and flag bit, TXxIF, will now be  
set.  
e) If enable bit, TXxIE, 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:  
20.4.2  
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, RCxIE.  
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  
RCREGx register. If the RCxIE enable bit is set, the  
interrupt 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, RCxIF, will be set when reception is  
complete. An interrupt will be generated if  
enable bit, RCxIE, was set.  
6. Read the RCSTAx 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  
RCREGx 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.

CONVERTER (A/D) MODULE  
The Analog-to-Digital (A/D) Converter module has  
11 inputs for the 64-pin devices and 15 for the 80-pin  
devices. This module allows conversion of an analog  
input signal to a corresponding 10-bit digital number.  
The ADCON0 register, shown in Register 21-1,  
controls the operation of the A/D module. The  
ADCON1 register, shown in Register 21-2, configures  
the A/D clock source, programmed acquisition time and  
justification.  
The module has six registers:

PIC18F87J11 FAMILY  
The ANCON0 and ANCON1 registers are used to  
configure the operation of the I/O pin associated with  
each analog channel. Setting any one of the PCFG bits  
configures the corresponding pin to operate as a digital  
only I/O. Clearing a bit configures the pin to operate as  
an analog input for either the A/D Converter or the  
comparator module; all digital peripherals are disabled,  
and digital inputs read as ‘0’. As a rule, I/O pins that are  
multiplexed with analog inputs default to analog  
operation on device Resets.  
ANCON0 and ANCON1 are shared address SFRs, and  
use the same addresses as the ADCON1 and  
ADCON0 registers. The ANCON registers are  
accessed by setting the ADSHR bit (WDTCON<4>).

The analog reference voltage is software selectable to  
either the device’s positive and negative supply voltage  
(AVDD and AVSS), or the voltage level on the  
RA3/AN3/VREF+ and RA2/AN2/VREF- pins.  
the A/D conversion. When the A/D conversion is com-  
plete, the result is loaded into the ADRESH:ADRESL  
register pair, the GO/DONE bit (ADCON0<1>) is  
cleared and A/D Interrupt Flag bit, ADIF, is set.  
The A/D Converter has a unique feature of being able  
to operate while the device is in Sleep mode. To  
operate in Sleep, the A/D conversion clock must be  
derived from the A/D’s internal RC oscillator.  
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. The value in the  
ADRESH:ADRESL register pair is not modified for a  
Power-on Reset. These registers will contain unknown  
data after a Power-on Reset.  
The output of the sample and hold is the input into the  
converter, which generates the result via successive  
approximation.  
The block diagram of the A/D module is shown in  
Figure 21-1.  
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

After the A/D module has been configured as desired,  
the selected channel must be acquired before the  
conversion is started. The analog input channels must  
have their corresponding TRIS bits selected as an  
input. To determine acquisition time, see Section 21.1  
“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.

To calculate the minimum acquisition time,  
Equation 21-1 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.  
21.1 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 21-2. The  
source impedance (RS) and the internal sampling  
switch (RSS) impedance directly affect the time  
required to charge the capacitor CHOLD. The sampling  
switch (RSS) impedance varies over the device voltage  
(VDD). 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.  
Equation 21-3 shows the calculation of the minimum  
required acquisition time, TACQ. This calculation is  
based on the following application system  
assumptions:

When the GO/DONE bit is set, sampling is stopped and  
a conversion begins. The user is responsible for ensur-  
ing the required acquisition time has passed between  
selecting the desired input channel and setting the  
GO/DONE bit. This occurs when the ACQT2:ACQT0  
bits (ADCON1<5:3>) remain in their Reset state (‘000’)  
and is compatible with devices that do not offer  
programmable acquisition times.

If desired, the ACQT bits can be set to select a pro-  
grammable acquisition time for the A/D module. When  
the GO/DONE bit is set, the A/D module continues to  
sample the input for the selected acquisition time, then  
automatically begins a conversion. Since the acquisi-  
tion time is programmed, there may be no need to wait  
for an acquisition time between selecting a channel and  
setting the GO/DONE bit.  
Note 1: The RC source has a typical TAD time of  
4 μs.  
2: For device frequencies above 1 MHz, the  
device must be in Sleep mode for the  
entire conversion or the A/D accuracy may  
be out of specification.  
21.4 Configuring Analog Port Pins  
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.  
The ANCON0, ANCON1, TRISA, TRISF and TRISH  
registers control the operation of the A/D port pins. The  
port pins needed as analog inputs must have their cor-  
responding TRIS bits set (input). If the TRIS bit is  
cleared (output), the digital output level (VOH or VOL)  
will be converted.  
21.3 Selecting the A/D Conversion  
Clock  
The A/D operation is independent of the state of the  
CHS3:CHS0 bits and the TRIS bits.  
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.  
Note 1: When reading the PORT register, all pins  
configured as analog input channels will  
read as cleared (a low level). Pins config-  
ured as digital inputs will convert an  
analog input. Analog levels on a digitally  
configured input will be accurately  
converted.  
There are seven possible options for TAD:  
• 2 TOSC  
• 4 TOSC  
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.  
• 8 TOSC  
• 16 TOSC  
• 32 TOSC  
• 64 TOSC  
• Internal RC Oscillator  
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 in Table 27-30 for  
more information).  
Table 21-1 shows the resultant TAD times derived from  
the device operating frequencies and the A/D clock  
source selected.

21.5 A/D Conversions  
21.6 Use of the ECCP2 Trigger  
Figure 21-3 shows the operation of the A/D Converter  
after the GO/DONE bit has been set and the  
ACQT2:ACQT0 bits are cleared. A conversion is  
started after the following instruction to allow entry into  
Sleep mode before the conversion begins.  
An A/D conversion can be started by the “Special Event  
Trigger” of the ECCP2 module. This requires that the  
CCP2M3:CCP2M0  
bits  
(CCP2CON<3:0>)  
be  
programmed 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 auto-  
matically repeat the A/D acquisition period with minimal  
software overhead (moving ADRESH/ADRESL to the  
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 is selected before the Special Event Trigger  
sets the GO/DONE bit (starts a conversion).  
Figure 21-4 shows the operation of the A/D Converter  
after the GO/DONE bit has been set, the  
ACQT2:ACQT0 bits are set to ‘010’ and selecting a  
4 TAD acquisition time before the conversion starts.  
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).  
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.  
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.  
Note: The GO/DONE bit should NOT be set in  
the same instruction that turns on the A/D.

PIC18F87J11 FAMILY  
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 ADCON1 should be updated in  
accordance with the power-managed mode clock that  
will be used. After the power-managed mode is entered  
(either of the power-managed Run modes), an A/D  
acquisition or conversion may be started. Once an  
acquisition or conversion is started, the device should  
continue to be clocked by the same power-managed  
mode clock source until the conversion has been com-  
pleted. If desired, the device may be placed into the  
corresponding power-managed Idle mode during the  
conversion.  
21.7 A/D Converter Calibration  
The A/D Converter in the PIC18F87J11 family of  
devices includes a self-calibration feature which com-  
pensates for any offset generated within the module.  
The calibration process is automated and is initiated by  
setting the ADCAL bit (ADCON1<6>). The next time  
the GO/DONE bit is set, the module will perform a  
“dummy” conversion (that is, with reading none of the  
input channels) and store the resulting value internally  
to compensate for the offset. Thus, subsequent offsets  
will be compensated. An example of a calibration  
routine is shown in Example 21-1.  
The calibration process assumes that the device is in a  
relatively steady-state operating condition. If A/D  
calibration is used, it should be performed after each  
device Reset or if there are other major changes in  
operating conditions.  
If the power-managed mode clock frequency is less  
than 1 MHz, the A/D RC clock source should be  
selected.  
Operation in the Sleep mode requires the A/D RC 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  
and SCS bits in the OSCCON register must have  
already been cleared prior to starting the conversion.  
21.8 Operation in Power-Managed  
Modes  
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.

22.1 Registers  
22.0 COMPARATOR MODULE  
The CMxCON registers (Register 22-1) select the input  
and output configuration for each comparator, as well  
as the settings for interrupt generation.  
The analog comparator module contains two compara-  
tors that can be independently configured in a variety of  
ways. The inputs can be selected from the analog  
inputs and two internal voltage references. The digital  
outputs are available at the pin level and can also be  
read through the control register. Multiple output and  
interrupt event generation are also available. A generic  
single comparator from the module is shown in  
Figure 22-1.  
The CMSTAT register (Register 22-2) provides the out-  
put results of the comparators. The bits in this register  
are read-only.  
Key features of the module includes:  
• Independent comparator control  
• Programmable input configuration  
• Output to both pin and register levels  
• Programmable output polarity  
• Independent interrupt generation for each  
comparator with configurable interrupt-on-change

22.2 Comparator Operation  
22.3 Comparator Response Time  
A single comparator is shown in Figure 22-2, 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 22-2 represent  
the uncertainty due to input offsets and response time.  
Response time is the minimum time, after selecting a  
new reference voltage or input source, before the com-  
parator output has a valid level. The response time of  
the comparator differs from the settling time of the volt-  
age reference. Therefore, both of these times must be  
considered when determining the total response to a  
comparator input change. Otherwise, the maximum  
delay of the comparators should be used (see  
Section 27.0 “Electrical Characteristics”).  
22.4 Analog Input Connection  
Considerations  
FIGURE 22-2:  
SINGLE COMPARATOR  
VIN+  
VIN-  
A simplified circuit for an analog input is shown in  
Figure 22-3. Since the analog pins are connected to a  
digital output, they have reverse biased diodes to VDD  
and VSS. The analog input, therefore, must be between  
VSS and VDD. If the input voltage deviates from this  
range by more than 0.6V in either direction, one of the  
diodes is forward biased and a latch-up condition may  
occur. A maximum source impedance of 10 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.

The comparator module also allows the selection of an  
internally generated voltage reference (CVREF) from  
the comparator voltage reference module. This module  
is described in more detail in Section 23.0 “Compara-  
tor Voltage Reference Module”. The reference from  
the Comparator Voltage Reference module is only  
available when CREF = 1. In this mode, the internal  
voltage reference is applied to the comparator’s VIN+  
pin.  
22.5 Comparator Control and  
Configuration  
Each comparator has up to eight possible combina-  
tions of inputs: up to four external analog inputs, and  
one of two internal voltage references.  
Both comparators allow a selection of the signal from  
pin, CxINA, or the voltage from the comparator refer-  
ence (CVREF) on the non-inverting channel. This is  
compared to either CxINB, CxINC, CxIND or the micro-  
controller’s fixed internal reference voltage (VIRV, 1.2V  
nominal) on the inverting channel. The comparator  
inputs and outputs are tied to fixed I/O pins, defined in  
Table 22-1. The available configurations and their  
corresponding bit settings are shown in Figure 22-1.  
Note:  
The comparator input pin selected by  
CCH1:CH0 must be configured as an input  
by setting both the corresponding TRISF or  
TRISH bit, and the corresponding PCFG bit  
in the ANCON1 register.

Comparator Configurations in 64-Pin  
and 80-Pin Devices  
TABLE 22-1: COMPARATOR INPUTS AND  
OUTPUTS  
In PIC18F87J11 family devices, the C and D input chan-  
nels for both comparators are linked to pins in PORTH  
and cannot be reassigned to alternate analog inputs.  
Because of this, 64-pin devices offer a total of 4 different  
configurations for each comparator. In contrast, 80-pin  
devices offer a choice of 6 configurations for Comparator  
1, and 8 configurations for Comparator 2. The configura-  
tions shown in Figure 22-1 are footnoted to indicate  
where they are not available.

COMPARATOR ENABLE AND  
OUTPUT SELECTION  
The comparator outputs are read through the CMSTAT  
register. The CMSTAT<0> reads the Comparator 1 out-  
put and CMSTAT<1> reads the Comparator 2 output.  
These bits are read-only.  
Note 1: Available in 80-pin devices only.  
22.5.1  
COMPARATOR ENABLE AND  
INPUT SELECTION  
The comparator outputs may also be directly output to  
the RF1 and RF2 I/O pins by setting the COE bit  
(CMxCON<6>). When enabled, multiplexors in the  
output path of the pins switch to the output of the com-  
parator. The TRISF<1:2> bits still function as the digital  
output enable for the RF1 and RF2 pins while in this  
mode.  
Setting the CON bit of the CMxCON register  
(CMxCON<7>) enables the comparator for operation.  
Clearing the CON bit disables the comparator resulting  
in minimum current consumption.  
The CCH1:CCH0 bits in the CMxCON register  
(CMxCON<1:0>) direct either one of three analog input  
pins, or the Internal Reference Voltage (VIRV), to the  
comparator VIN-. Depending on the comparator operat-  
ing 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.  
By default, the comparator’s output is at logic high  
whenever the voltage on VIN+ is greater than on VIN-.  
The polarity of the comparator outputs can be inverted  
using the CPOL bit (CMxCON<5>).  
The uncertainty of each of the comparators is related to  
the input offset voltage and the response time given in  
the specifications, as discussed in Section 22.2  
“Comparator Operation”.  
The external reference is used when CREF = 0  
(CMxCON<2>) and VIN+ is connected to the CxINA  
pin. When external voltage references are used, the  
comparator module can be configured to have the ref-  
erence sources externally. The reference signal must  
be between VSS and VDD, and can be applied to either  
pin of the comparator.

transition of the comparator output. Once the interrupt  
is generated, it is required to clear the interrupt flag by  
software.  
22.6 Comparator Interrupts  
The comparator interrupt flag is set whenever any of  
the following occurs:  
When EVPOL<1:0> = 11, the comparator interrupt flag  
is set whenever there is a change in the output value of  
either comparator. Software will need to maintain infor-  
mation about the status of the output bits, as read from  
CMSTAT<1:0>, to determine the actual change that  
occurred. The CMxIF bits (PIR2<6:5>) are the Compar-  
ator Interrupt Flags. The CMxIF bits must be reset by  
clearing them. Since it is also possible to write a ‘1’ to  
this register, a simulated interrupt may be initiated.  
Table 22-2 shows the interrupt generation with respect  
to comparator input voltages and EVPOL bit settings.  
• Low-to-high transition of the comparator output  
• High-to-low transition of the comparator output  
• Any change in the comparator output  
The comparator interrupt selection is done by the  
EVPOL1:EVPOL0 bits in the CMxCON register  
(CMxCON<4:3>).  
In order to provide maximum flexibility, the output of the  
comparator may be inverted using the CPOL bit in the  
CMxCON register (CMxCON<5>). This is functionally  
identical to reversing the inverting and non-inverting  
inputs of the comparator for a particular mode.  
Both the CMxIE bits (PIE2<6:5>) and the PEIE bit (INT-  
CON<6>) must be set to enable the interrupt. In addi-  
tion, the GIE bit (INTCON<7>) must also be set. If any  
of these bits are clear, the interrupt is not enabled,  
though the CMxIF bits will still be set if an interrupt  
condition occurs.  
An interrupt is generated on the low-to-high or high-to-  
low transition of the comparator output. This mode of  
interrupt generation is dependent on EVPOL<1:0> in  
the CMxCON register. If EVPOL<1:0> = 01or 10, the  
interrupt is generated on a low-to-high or high-to-low

22.7 Comparator Operation  
During Sleep  
22.8 Effects of a Reset  
A device Reset forces the CMxCON registers to their  
Reset state. This forces both comparators and the  
voltage reference to the OFF state.  
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. To minimize power consumption while in Sleep  
mode, turn off the comparators (CON = 0) before  
entering Sleep. If the device wakes up from Sleep, the  
contents of the CMxCON register are not affected.

A block diagram of the module is shown in Figure 23-1.  
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.  
23.0 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.

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>).  
23.1 Configuring the Comparator  
Voltage Reference  
The comparator voltage reference module is controlled  
through the CVRCON register (Register 23-1). The  
comparator voltage reference provides two ranges of  
output voltage, each with 16 distinct levels. The range  
to be 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:  
The settling time of the comparator voltage reference  
must be considered when changing the CVREF  
output (see Table 27-3 in Section 27.0 “Electrical  
Characteristics”).  
The CVRCON register is a shared address SFR and  
uses the same address as the PR4 register. The  
CVRCON register is accessed by setting the ADSHR  
bit (WDTCON<4>).  
If CVRR = 1:  
CVREF = ((CVR3:CVR0)/24) x (CVRSRC)  
If CVRR = 0:  
CVREF = (CVRSRC/4) + ((CVR3:CVR0)/32) x  
(CVRSRC)

PIC18F87J11 FAMILY  
The RF5 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 23-2 shows an example buffering technique.  
23.2 Voltage Reference Accuracy/Error  
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 23-1) 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 27.0 “Electrical Characteristics”.  
23.4 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.  
23.3 Connection Considerations  
The voltage reference module operates independently  
of the comparator module. The output of the reference  
generator may be connected to the RF5 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 RF5 as a  
digital output with CVRSS enabled will also increase  
current consumption.  
23.5 Effects of a Reset  
A device Reset disables the voltage reference by  
clearing CVREN (CVRCON<7>). This Reset also  
disconnects the reference from the RA2 pin by clearing  
CVROE, and selects the high-voltage range by clearing  
CVRR. The CVR value select bits are also cleared.

PIC18F87J11 FAMILY  
24.1.1  
CONSIDERATIONS FOR  
CONFIGURING THE PIC18F87J11  
FAMILY DEVICES  
24.0 SPECIAL FEATURES OF THE  
CPU  
PIC18F87J11 Family devices include several features  
intended to maximize reliability and minimize cost  
through elimination of external components. These are:  
Unlike previous PIC18 microcontrollers, devices of the  
PIC18F87J11 Family do not use persistent memory  
registers to store configuration information. The config-  
uration bytes are implemented as volatile memory  
which means that configuration data must be  
programmed each time the device is powered up.  
• Oscillator Selection  
• Resets:  
- Power-on Reset (POR)  
- Power-up Timer (PWRT)  
- Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST)  
- Brown-out Reset (BOR)  
• Interrupts  
Configuration data is stored in the four words at the top  
of the on-chip program memory space, known as the  
Flash Configuration Words. It is stored in program  
memory in the same order shown in Table 24-2, with  
CONFIG1L at the lowest address and CONFIG3H at  
the highest. The data is automatically loaded in the  
proper Configuration registers during device power-up.  
• Watchdog Timer (WDT)  
• Fail-Safe Clock Monitor  
• Two-Speed Start-up  
• Code Protection  
When creating applications for these devices, users  
should always specifically allocate the location of the  
Flash Configuration Word for configuration data. This is  
to make certain that program code is not stored in this  
address when the code is compiled.  
• In-Circuit Serial Programming  
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 volatile memory cells used for the Configuration  
bits always reset to ‘1’ on Power-on Resets. For all  
other type of Reset events, the previously programmed  
values are maintained and used without reloading from  
program memory.  
A complete discussion of device Resets and interrupts  
is available in previous sections of this data sheet. In  
addition to their Power-up and Oscillator Start-up  
Timers provided for Resets, the PIC18F87J11 Family  
of devices have a configurable Watchdog Timer which  
is controlled in software.  
The four Most Significant bits of CONFIG1H,  
CONFIG2H and CONFIG3H in program memory  
should also be ‘1111’. This makes these Configuration  
Words appear to be NOP instructions in the remote  
event that their locations are ever executed by  
accident. Since Configuration bits are not implemented  
in the corresponding locations, writing ‘1’s to these  
locations has no effect on device operation.  
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.  
To prevent inadvertent configuration changes during  
code execution, all programmable Configuration bits  
are write-once. After a bit is initially programmed during  
a power cycle, it cannot be written to again. Changing  
a device configuration requires that power to the device  
be cycled.  
All of these features are enabled and configured by  
setting the appropriate Configuration register bits.  
24.1 Configuration Bits  
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. A complete list  
is shown in Table 24-2. A detailed explanation of the  
various bit functions is provided in Register 24-1  
through Register 24-6.

24.2 Watchdog Timer (WDT)  
Note 1: The CLRWDT and SLEEP instructions  
clear the WDT and postscaler counts  
when executed.  
For PIC18F87J11 Family devices, the WDT is driven by  
the INTRC oscillator. 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: When a CLRWDT instruction is executed,  
the postscaler count will be cleared.  
24.2.1  
CONTROL REGISTER  
The 4 ms period of the WDT is multiplied by a 16-bit  
postscaler. Any output of the WDT postscaler is  
selected by a multiplexor, controlled by the WDTPS bits  
in Configuration Register 2H. Available periods range  
from about 4 ms to 135 seconds (2.25 minutes  
depending on voltage, temperature and WDT post-  
scaler). The WDT and postscaler are cleared whenever  
a SLEEPor CLRWDTinstruction is executed, or a clock  
failure (primary or Timer1 oscillator) has occurred.  
The WDTCON register (Register 24-9) is a readable  
and writable register. The SWDTEN bit enables or dis-  
ables WDT operation. This allows software to override  
the WDTEN Configuration bit and enable the WDT only  
if it has been disabled by the Configuration bit.  
The ADSHR bit selects which SFRs are currently  
selected and accessible. See Section 5.3.4.1 “Shared  
Address SFRs” for additional details.  
The LVDSTAT is a read-only status bit which is continu-  
ously updated and provides information about the current  
level of VDDCORE. This bit is only valid when the on-chip  
voltage regulator is enabled.

FIGURE 24-2:  
CONNECTIONS FOR THE  
ON-CHIP REGULATOR  
24.3 On-Chip Voltage Regulator  
All of the PIC18F87J11 family devices power their core  
digital logic at a nominal 2.5V. For designs that are  
required to operate at a higher typical voltage, such as  
3.3V, all devices in the PIC18F87J11 family incorporate  
an on-chip regulator that allows the device to run its  
core logic from VDD.  
Regulator Enabled (ENVREG tied to VDD):  
3.3V  
PIC18F87J11  
VDD  
ENVREG  
The regulator is controlled by the ENVREG pin. Tying  
VDD to the pin enables the regulator, which in turn,  
provides power to the core from the other VDD pins.  
When the regulator is enabled, a low-ESR filter capac-  
itor must be connected to the VDDCORE/VCAP pin  
(Figure 24-2). This helps to maintain the stability of the  
regulator. The recommended value for the filter capac-  
itor is provided in Section 27.3 “DC Characteristics:  
PIC18F87J11 Family (Industrial)”.  
VDDCORE/VCAP  
CF  
VSS  
Regulator Disabled (ENVREG tied to ground):  
If ENVREG is tied to VSS, the regulator is disabled. In  
this case, separate power for the core logic at a nomi-  
nal 2.5V must be supplied to the device on the  
VDDCORE/VCAP pin to run the I/O pins at higher voltage  
levels, typically 3.3V. Alternatively, the VDDCORE/VCAP  
and VDD pins can be tied together to operate at a lower  
nominal voltage. Refer to Figure 24-2 for possible  
configurations.

VOLTAGE REGULATOR TRACKING  
MODE AND LOW-VOLTAGE  
DETECTION  
When it is enabled, the on-chip regulator provides a  
constant voltage of 2.5V nominal to the digital core  
logic. The regulator can provide this level from a VDD of  
about 2.5V, all the way up to the device’s VDDMAX. It  
does not have the capability to boost VDD levels below  
2.5V. In order to prevent “brown-out” conditions, when  
the voltage drops too low for the regulator, the regulator  
enters Tracking mode. In Tracking mode, the regulator  
output follows VDD, with a typical voltage drop of  
100 mV.  
Regulator Disabled (VDD tied to VDDCORE):  
(1)  
2.5V  
PIC18F87J11  
VDD  
ENVREG  
VDDCORE/VCAP  
VSS  
The on-chip regulator includes a simple, Low-Voltage  
Detect (LVD) circuit. If VDD drops too low to maintain  
approximately 2.45V on VDDCORE, the circuit sets the  
Low-Voltage Detect Interrupt Flag, LVDIF (PIR2<2>).  
This can be used to generate an interrupt and put the  
application into a low-power operational mode, or  
trigger an orderly shutdown. Low-Voltage Detection is  
only available when the regulator is enabled.  
Note 1: These are typical operating voltages. Refer  
to Section 27.1 “DC Characteristics:  
Supply Voltage” for the full operating  
ranges of VDD and VDDCORE.  
The Low-Voltage Detect interrupt is edge-sensitive.  
The interrupt flag will only be set once per falling edge  
of VDDCORE. Firmware can clear the interrupt flag, but  
a new interrupt will not be generated until VDDCORE  
rises back above, and then falls below, the 2.45 thresh-  
old. Upon device Resets, the interrupt flag will reset to  
0’, even if VDDCORE is less than 2.45V. When the  
regulator is enabled, the LVDSTAT bit in the WDTCON  
register can be polled to determine the current level of  
VDDCORE.

PIC18F87J11 FAMILY  
Substantial Sleep mode power savings can be obtained  
by setting the REGSLP bit, but device wake-up time will  
increase in order to insure the regulator has enough time  
to stabilize. The REGSLP bit is automatically cleared by  
hardware when a Low-Voltage Detect condition occurs.  
24.3.2  
ON-CHIP REGULATOR AND BOR  
When the on-chip regulator is enabled, PIC18F87J11  
family devices also have a simple brown-out capability.  
If the voltage supplied to the regulator is inadequate to  
maintain a regulated level, the regulator Reset circuitry  
will generate a Brown-out Reset. This event is captured  
by the BOR flag bit (RCON<0>).  
24.4 Two-Speed Start-up  
The operation of the Brown-out Reset is described in  
more detail in Section 4.4 “Brown-out Reset (BOR)”  
and Section 4.4.1 “Detecting BOR”. The brown-out  
voltage levels are specific in Section 27.1 “DC Char-  
acteristics: Supply Voltage PIC18F87J11 Family  
(Industrial)”.  
The Two-Speed Start-up feature helps to minimize the  
latency period, from oscillator start-up to code execu-  
tion, by allowing the microcontroller to use the INTRC  
oscillator as a clock source until the primary clock  
source is available. It is enabled by setting the IESO  
Configuration bit.  
Two-Speed Start-up should be enabled only if the  
primary oscillator mode is HS or HSPLL  
(Crystal-Based) modes. Since the EC and ECPLL  
modes do not require an Oscillator Start-up Timer  
delay, Two-Speed Start-up should be disabled.  
24.3.3  
POWER-UP REQUIREMENTS  
The on-chip regulator is designed to meet the power-up  
requirements for the device. If the application does not  
use the regulator, then strict power-up conditions must  
be adhered to. While powering up, VDDCORE must  
never exceed VDD by 0.3 volts.  
When enabled, Resets and wake-ups from Sleep mode  
cause the device to configure itself to run from the inter-  
nal 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.  
24.3.4  
OPERATION IN SLEEP MODE  
When enabled, the on-chip regulator always consumes  
a small incremental amount of current over IDD. This  
includes when the device is in Sleep mode, even  
though the core digital logic does not require power. To  
provide additional savings in applications where power  
resources are critical, the regulator can be configured  
to automatically disable itself whenever the device  
goes into Sleep mode. This feature is controlled by the  
REGSLP bit (WDTCON<7>, Register 24-9). Setting  
this bit disables the regulator in Sleep mode and  
reduces its current consumption to a minimum.  
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.

PIC18F87J11 FAMILY  
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 24-5). This causes the following:  
24.4.1  
SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR  
USING TWO-SPEED START-UP  
While using the INTRC oscillator in Two-Speed  
Start-up, the device still obeys the normal command  
sequences for entering power-managed modes,  
including serial SLEEP instructions (refer to  
Section 3.1.4 “Multiple Sleep Commands”). In prac-  
tice, 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 applica-  
tion to briefly wake-up, perform routine “housekeeping”  
tasks and return to Sleep before the device starts to  
operate from the primary oscillator.  
• 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 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 24.4.1 “Special  
Considerations for Using Two-Speed Start-up” for  
more details.  
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.  
24.5 Fail-Safe Clock Monitor  
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.  
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.  
24.5.1  
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.  
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 24-4) 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  
(CM) latch. The CM is set on the falling edge of the  
device clock source but cleared on the rising edge of  
the sample clock.  
As already noted, the clock source is switched to the  
INTRC clock when a clock failure is detected; this may  
mean a substantial change in the speed of code execu-  
tion. 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 post-  
scaler, allowing it to start timing from when execution  
speed was changed and decreasing the likelihood of  
an erroneous time-out.

24.5.2  
EXITING FAIL-SAFE OPERATION  
24.5.4  
POR OR WAKE-UP FROM SLEEP  
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 2H (with any  
required start-up delays that are required for the oscil-  
lator mode, such as OST or PLL timer). The INTRC  
oscillator 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  
primary clock (indicated by the OSTS bit in the  
OSCCON register becoming set). The Fail-Safe Clock  
Monitor then resumes monitoring the peripheral clock.  
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 either the EC or INTRC modes, monitoring can  
begin immediately following these events.  
For HS or HSPLL modes, the situation is somewhat  
different. Since the oscillator may require a start-up  
time considerably longer than the FSCM 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.  
The primary clock source may never become ready  
during start-up. In this case, operation is clocked by the  
INTRC oscillator. The OSCCON register will remain in  
its Reset state until a power-managed mode is entered.  
Note:  
The same logic that prevents false  
oscillator failure interrupts on POR, or  
wake from Sleep, will also prevent the  
detection of the oscillator’s failure to start  
at all following these events. This can be  
avoided by monitoring the OSTS bit and  
using a timing routine to determine if the  
oscillator is taking too long to start. Even  
so, no oscillator failure interrupt will be  
flagged.  
24.5.3  
FSCM INTERRUPTS IN  
POWER-MANAGED MODES  
By entering a power-managed mode, the clock  
multiplexor selects the clock source selected by the  
OSCCON register. Fail-Safe Clock Monitoring of the  
power-managed clock source resumes in the  
power-managed mode.  
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 INTRC multiplexor. An automatic transition back  
to the failed clock source will not occur.  
As noted in Section 24.4.1 “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.  
If the interrupt is disabled, subsequent interrupts while  
in Idle mode will cause the CPU to begin executing  
instructions while being clocked by the INTRC source.

24.6 Program Verification and  
Code Protection  
24.7  
In-Circuit Serial Programming  
PIC18F87J11 Family 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.  
For all devices in the PIC18F87J11 Family of devices,  
the on-chip program memory space is treated as a  
single block. Code protection for this block is controlled  
by one Configuration bit, CP0. This bit inhibits external  
reads and writes to the program memory space. It has  
no direct effect in normal execution mode.  
24.6.1  
CONFIGURATION REGISTER  
PROTECTION  
24.8 In-Circuit Debugger  
The Configuration registers are protected against  
untoward changes or reads in two ways. The primary  
protection is the write-once feature of the Configuration  
bits which prevents reconfiguration once the bit has  
been programmed during a power cycle. To safeguard  
against unpredictable events, Configuration bit  
changes resulting from individual cell level disruptions  
(such as ESD events) will cause a parity error and  
trigger a device Reset. This is seen by the user as a  
Configuration Match Reset.  
When the DEBUG Configuration bit is programmed to  
a ‘0’, the In-Circuit Debugger functionality is enabled.  
This function allows simple debugging functions when  
used with MPLAB® IDE. When the microcontroller has  
this feature enabled, some resources are not available  
for general use. Table 24-4 shows which resources are  
required by the background debugger.  
TABLE 24-4: DEBUGGER RESOURCES  
The data for the Configuration registers is derived from  
the Flash Configuration Words in program memory.  
When the CP0 bit set, the source data for device  
configuration is also protected as a consequence.

PIC18F87J11 FAMILY  
The literal instructions may use some of the following  
operands:  
25.0 INSTRUCTION SET SUMMARY  
The PIC18F87J11 Family of devices incorporate the  
standard set of 75 PIC18 core instructions, as well as  
an extended set of 8 new instructions for the optimiza-  
tion 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 ‘—’)  
25.1 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® instruction sets,  
while maintaining an easy migration from these instruc-  
tion 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’)  
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.  
• No operand required  
(specified by ‘—’)  
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 25-2 lists  
byte-oriented, bit-oriented, literal and control  
operations. Table 25-1 shows the opcode field  
descriptions.  
The double-word instructions execute in two instruction  
cycles.  
Most byte-oriented instructions have three operands:  
1. The file register (specified by ‘f’)  
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.  
2. The destination of the result (specified by ‘d’)  
3. The accessed memory (specified by ‘a’)  
The file register designator, ‘f’, specifies which file reg-  
ister is to be used by the instruction. The destination  
designator, ‘d’, specifies where the result of the  
operation is to be placed. If ‘d’ is ‘0’, the result is placed  
in the WREG register. If ‘d’ is ‘1’, the result is placed in  
the file register specified in the instruction.  
Figure 25-1 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 25-2, lists  
the standard instructions recognized by the Microchip  
MPASMTM Assembler.  
All bit-oriented instructions have three operands:  
1. The file register (specified by ‘f’)  
2. The bit in the file register (specified by ‘b’)  
3. The accessed memory (specified by ‘a’)  
Section 25.1.1 “Standard Instruction Set” provides  
a description of each instruction.  
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 the 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  
NOPunless 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.

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.

PIC18F87J11 FAMILY  
A summary of the instructions in the extended instruc-  
tion set is provided in Table 25-3. Detailed descriptions  
are provided in Section 25.2.2 “Extended Instruction  
Set”. The opcode field descriptions in Table 25-1 (page  
332) apply to both the standard and extended PIC18  
instruction sets.  
25.2 Extended Instruction Set  
In addition to the standard 75 instructions of the PIC18  
instruction set, the PIC18F87J11 Family family of  
devices also provide an optional extension to the core  
CPU functionality. The added features include eight  
additional instructions that augment Indirect and  
Indexed Addressing operations and the implementa-  
tion of Indexed Literal Offset Addressing 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  
provided 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 enabled by default on unprogrammed devices.  
Users must properly set or clear the XINST Configura-  
tion bit during programming to enable or disable these  
features.  
The instructions in the extended set 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.  
25.2.1  
EXTENDED INSTRUCTION SYNTAX  
Most of the extended instructions use indexed argu-  
ments, 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 25.2.3.1 “Extended Instruction  
Syntax with Standard PIC18 Commands”.  
• dynamic allocation and deallocation of software  
stack space when entering and leaving  
subroutines  
• function pointer invocation  
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 (“{ }”).  
• software Stack Pointer manipulation  
• manipulation of variables located in a software  
stack

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

actual address of the source register is  
determined by adding the 7-bit literal  
offset ‘z ’, in the first word, to the value  
s
of 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).  
Unlike CALL, there is no option to  
update W, STATUS or BSR.

25.2.3  
BYTE-ORIENTED AND  
BIT-ORIENTED INSTRUCTIONS IN  
INDEXED LITERAL OFFSET MODE  
25.2.3.1  
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 the brackets, will  
generate an error in the MPASM Assembler.  
Note: Enabling the PIC18 instruction set exten-  
sion 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 (Section 5.6.1  
“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 instruc-  
tions – may behave differently when the extended  
instruction set is enabled.  
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.  
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 25.2.3.1 “Extended Instruction Syntax with  
Standard PIC18 Commands”).  
25.2.4  
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 mode can be very  
useful for dynamic stack and pointer manipulation, it  
can also be very annoying if a simple arithmetic opera-  
tion 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  
mode are provided on the following page to show how  
execution is affected. The operand conditions shown in  
the examples are applicable to all instructions of these  
types.  
When porting an application to the PIC18F87J11 Fam-  
ily family, 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  
applications that heavily use the Access Bank will most  
likely not benefit from using the extended instruction  
set.

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 for the PIC18F87J11 Family family. This includes  
the MPLAB C18 C Compiler, MPASM assembly lan-  
guage and MPLAB Integrated Development  
Environment (IDE).  
When selecting  
a
target device for software  
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. For proper execution of applications  
developed to take advantage of the extended  
instruction set, XINST must be set during  
programming.  
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:  
• A menu option or dialog box within the  
environment that allows the user to configure the  
language tool and its settings for the project  
• A command line option  
• A directive in the source code  
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.

26.2 MPASM Assembler  
26.5 MPLAB ASM30 Assembler, Linker  
and Librarian  
The MPASM Assembler is a full-featured, universal  
macro assembler for all PIC MCUs.  
MPLAB ASM30 Assembler produces relocatable  
machine code from symbolic assembly language for  
dsPIC30F devices. MPLAB C30 C Compiler uses the  
assembler to produce its object file. The assembler  
generates relocatable object files that can then be  
archived or linked with other relocatable object files and  
archives to create an executable file. Notable features  
of the assembler include:  
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  
assembly code  
• Rich directive set  
• Conditional assembly for multi-purpose  
source files  
• Flexible macro language  
• MPLAB IDE compatibility  
• Directives that allow complete control over the  
assembly process  
26.6 MPLAB SIM Software Simulator  
26.3 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 microcon-  
trollers and the dsPIC30 and dsPIC33 family of digital  
signal 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.  
26.4 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

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: Standard, low-cost 32 kHz crystals have an operating temperature range of -10°C to +70°C. Extended temperature

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: Standard, low-cost 32 kHz crystals have an operating temperature range of -10°C to +70°C. Extended temperature

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: Standard, low-cost 32 kHz crystals have an operating temperature range of -10°C to +70°C. Extended temperature  
crystals are available at a much higher cost.  
4: Voltage regulator disabled (ENVREG = 0, tied to VSS).

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.

2: A Fast mode I C™ bus device can be used in a Standard mode I C 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 SCLx signal.  
If such a device does stretch the LOW period of the SCLx signal, it must output the next data bit to the SDAx line,

TR max. + TSU:DAT = 1000 + 250 = 1250 ns (according to the Standard mode I C bus specification), before the SCLx
