PIC18F87K90 FAMILY
1.0
DEVICE OVERVIEW
This document contains device-specific information for
the following devices:
• PIC18F65K90
• PIC18F66K90
• PIC18F67K90
• PIC18F85K90
• PIC18F86K90
• PIC18F87K90
This family combines the traditional advantages of all
PIC18 microcontrollers – namely, high computational
performance and a rich feature set – with a versatile
on-chip LCD driver, while maintaining an extremely
competitive price point. These features make the
PIC18F87K90 family a logical choice for many
high-performance applications where price is a primary
consideration.
1.1
1.1.1
Core Features
nanoWatt TECHNOLOGY
All of the devices in the PIC18F87K90 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
oscillator, power consumption during code
execution can be reduced.
• 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.
• 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.
• nanoWatt XLP: An extra low-power BOR, RTCC
and low-power Watchdog Timer. Also, an ultra
low-power regulator for Sleep mode is provided in
regulator-enabled modes.
1.1.2
OSCILLATOR OPTIONS AND
FEATURES
All of the devices in the PIC18F87K90 family offer
different oscillator options, allowing users a range of
choices in developing application hardware. These
include:
• External Resistor/Capacitor (RC); RA6 available
• External Resistor/Capacitor with Clock Out (RCIO)
• Three External Clock modes:
- External Clock (EC); RA6 available
- External Clock with Clock Out (ECIO)
- External Crystal (XT, HS, LP)
• A Phase Lock Loop (PLL) frequency multiplier,
available to the External Oscillator modes which
allows clock speeds of up to 64 MHz. PLL can
also be used with the internal oscillator.
 2009-2011 Microchip Technology Inc.
• An internal oscillator block that provides a 16 MHz
clock (±2% accuracy) and an INTRC source
(approximately 31 kHz, stable over temperature
and VDD)
- Operates as HF-INTOSC or MF-INTOSC
when block selected for 16 MHz or 500 kHz
- Frees the two oscillator pins for use as
additional general purpose I/O
The internal oscillator block provides a stable reference
source that gives the family additional features for
robust operation:
• 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.
• 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.
1.1.3
MEMORY OPTIONS
The PIC18F87K90 family provides ample room for
application code, from 32 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 40 years.
The Flash program memory is readable and writable.
During normal operation, the PIC18F87K90 family also
provides plenty of room for dynamic application data
with up to 3,828 bytes of data RAM.
1.1.4
EXTENDED INSTRUCTION SET
The PIC18F87K90 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’.
1.1.5
EASY MIGRATION
Regardless of the memory size, all devices share the
same rich set of peripherals (except the 32-Kbyte parts,
which have two less CCPs and three less Timers),
allowing for a smooth migration path as applications
grow and evolve.
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.
DS39957D-page 9
PIC18F87K90 FAMILY
The PIC18F87K90 family is also largely
pin-compatible with other PIC18 families, such as the
PIC18F8720, PIC18F8722, PIC18F85J11, PIC18F8490,
PIC18F85J90, PIC18F87J90 and PIC18F87J93 families
of microcontrollers with LCD drivers. This allows a new
dimension to the evolution of applications, allowing
developers to select different price points within
Microchip’s PIC18 portfolio, while maintaining a similar
feature set.
1.2
LCD Driver
The on-chip LCD driver includes many features that
ease the integration of displays in low-power
applications. These include an integrated internal
resistor ladder, so bias voltages can be generated
internally. This enables software-controlled contrast
control and eliminates the need for external bias
voltage resistors.
1.3
Other Special Features
• Communications: The PIC18F87K90 family
incorporates a range of serial communication
peripherals including two Enhanced USART, that
support LIN/J2602, and two Master SSP modules
capable of both SPI and I2C™ (Master and Slave)
modes of operation.
• CCP Modules: PIC18F87K90 family devices
incorporate up to seven or five Capture/
Compare/PWM (CCP) modules. Up to six different time bases can be used to perform several
different operations at once.
• ECCP Modules: The PIC18F87K90 family has
three Enhanced CCP (ECCP) modules to
maximize flexibility in control applications:
- Up to eight different time bases for performing
several different operations at once
- Up to four PWM outputs for each module, for
a total of 12 PWMs
- Other beneficial features, such as polarity
selection, programmable dead time,
auto-shutdown and restart, and Half-Bridge
and Full-Bridge Output modes
• 12-Bit A/D Converter: The PIC18F87K90 family
has differential ADC. It 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.
• Charge Time Measurement Unit (CTMU): The
CTMU is a flexible analog module that provides accurate differential time measurement between pulse
sources, as well as asynchronous pulse generation.
Together with other on-chip analog modules, the
CTMU can precisely measure time, measure
capacitance or relative changes in capacitance, or
generate output pulses that are independent of the
system clock.
DS39957D-page 10
• LP Watchdog Timer (WDT): This enhanced
version incorporates a 22-bit prescaler, allowing
an extended time-out range that is stable across
operating voltage and temperature. See
Section 31.0 “Electrical Characteristics” for
time-out periods.
• Real-Time Clock and Calendar Module (RTCC):
The RTCC module is intended for applications
requiring that accurate time be maintained for
extended periods of time with minimum to no
intervention from the CPU.
The module is a 100-year clock and calendar with
automatic leap year detection. The range of the
clock is from 00:00:00 (midnight) on January 1, 2000
to 23:59:59 on December 31, 2099.

2.2
2.2.1
Power Supply Pins
DECOUPLING CAPACITORS
The use of decoupling capacitors on every pair of
power supply pins, such as VDD, VSS, AVDD and
AVSS, is required.
Consider the following criteria when using decoupling
capacitors:
• Value and type of capacitor: A 0.1 F (100 nF),
10-20V capacitor is recommended. The capacitor
should be a low-ESR device, with a resonance
frequency in the range of 200 MHz and higher.
Ceramic capacitors are recommended.
• Placement on the printed circuit board: The
decoupling capacitors should be placed as close
to the pins as possible. It is recommended to
place the capacitors on the same side of the
board as the device. If space is constricted, the
capacitor can be placed on another layer on the
PCB using a via; however, ensure that the trace
length from the pin to the capacitor is no greater
than 0.25 inch (6 mm).
• Handling high-frequency noise: If the board is
experiencing high-frequency noise (upward of
tens of MHz), add a second ceramic type capacitor in parallel to the above described decoupling
capacitor. The value of the second capacitor can
be in the range of 0.01 F to 0.001 F. Place this
second capacitor next to each primary decoupling
capacitor. In high-speed circuit designs, consider
implementing a decade pair of capacitances as
close to the power and ground pins as possible
(e.g., 0.1 F in parallel with 0.001 F).
• Maximizing performance: On the board layout
from the power supply circuit, run the power and
return traces to the decoupling capacitors first,
and then to the device pins. This ensures that the
decoupling capacitors are first in the power chain.
Equally important is to keep the trace length
between the capacitor and the power pins to a
minimum, thereby reducing PCB trace
inductance.
2.2.2
TANK CAPACITORS
On boards with power traces running longer than
six inches in length, it is suggested to use a tank capacitor for integrated circuits, including microcontrollers, to
supply a local power source. The value of the tank
capacitor should be determined based on the trace
resistance that connects the power supply source to
the device, and the maximum current drawn by the
device in the application. In other words, select the tank
capacitor so that it meets the acceptable voltage sag at
the device. Typical values range from 4.7 F to 47 F.
DS39957D-page 36
2.3
Master Clear (MCLR) Pin
The MCLR pin provides two specific device
functions: Device Reset, and Device Programming
and Debugging. If programming and debugging are
not required in the end application, a direct
connection to VDD may be all that is required. The
addition of other components, to help increase the
application’s resistance to spurious Resets from
voltage sags, may be beneficial. A typical
configuration is shown in Figure 2-1. Other circuit
designs may be implemented, depending on the
application’s requirements.
During programming and debugging, the resistance
and capacitance that can be added to the pin must
be considered. Device programmers and debuggers
drive the MCLR pin. Consequently, specific voltage
levels (VIH and VIL) and fast signal transitions must
not be adversely affected. Therefore, specific values
of R1 and C1 will need to be adjusted based on the
application and PCB requirements. For example, it is
recommended that the capacitor, C1, be isolated
from the MCLR pin during programming and
debugging operations by using a jumper (Figure 2-2).
The jumper is replaced for normal run-time
operations.
Any components associated with the MCLR pin
should be placed within 0.25 inch (6 mm) of the pin.

2.4
Some PIC18FXXKXX families, or some devices within
a family, do not provide the option of enabling or
disabling the on-chip voltage regulator:
Voltage Regulator Pins (ENVREG
and VCAP/VDDCORE)
The on-chip voltage regulator enable pin, ENVREG,
must always be connected directly to either a supply
voltage or to ground. Tying ENVREG to VDD enables
the regulator, while tying it to ground disables the
regulator. Refer to Section 28.3 “On-Chip Voltage
Regulator” for details on connecting and using the
on-chip regulator.
When the regulator is enabled, a low-ESR (< 5Ω)
capacitor is required on the VCAP/VDDCORE pin to
stabilize the voltage regulator output voltage. The
VCAP/VDDCORE pin must not be connected to VDD and
must use a capacitor of 10 µF connected to ground. The
type can be ceramic or tantalum. Suitable examples of
capacitors are shown in Table 2-1. Capacitors with
equivalent specifications can be used.
• Some devices (with the name, PIC18LFXXKXX)
permanently disable the voltage regulator.
These devices do not have the ENVREG pin and
require a 0.1 F capacitor on the VCAP/VDDCORE
pin. The VDD level of these devices must comply
with the “voltage regulator disabled” specification
for Parameter D001, in Section 31.0 “Electrical
Characteristics”.
• Some devices permanently enable the voltage

CONSIDERATIONS FOR CERAMIC
CAPACITORS
In recent years, large value, low-voltage, surface-mount
ceramic capacitors have become very cost effective in
sizes up to a few tens of microfarad. The low-ESR, small
physical size and other properties make ceramic
capacitors very attractive in many types of applications.
Ceramic capacitors are suitable for use with the internal voltage regulator of this microcontroller. However,
some care is needed in selecting the capacitor to
ensure that it maintains sufficient capacitance over the
intended operating range of the application.
Typical low-cost, 10 F ceramic capacitors are available
in X5R, X7R and Y5V dielectric ratings (other types are
also available, but are less common). The initial tolerance specifications for these types of capacitors are
often specified as ±10% to ±20% (X5R and X7R), or
-20%/+80% (Y5V). However, the effective capacitance
that these capacitors provide in an application circuit will
also vary based on additional factors, such as the
applied DC bias voltage and the temperature. The total
in-circuit tolerance is, therefore, much wider than the
initial tolerance specification.
The X5R and X7R capacitors typically exhibit satisfactory temperature stability (ex: ±15% over a wide
temperature range, but consult the manufacturer’s data
sheets for exact specifications). However, Y5V capacitors typically have extreme temperature tolerance
specifications of +22%/-82%. Due to the extreme
temperature tolerance, a 10 F nominal rated Y5V type
capacitor may not deliver enough total capacitance to
meet minimum internal voltage regulator stability and
transient response requirements. Therefore, Y5V
capacitors are not recommended for use with the
internal regulator if the application must operate over a
wide temperature range.
In addition to temperature tolerance, the effective
capacitance of large value ceramic capacitors can vary
substantially, based on the amount of DC voltage
applied to the capacitor. This effect can be very significant, but is often overlooked or is not always
documented.
A typical DC bias voltage vs. capacitance graph for
X7R type and Y5V type capacitors is shown in
Figure 2-4.

DC Bias Voltage (VDC)
When selecting a ceramic capacitor to be used with the
internal voltage regulator, it is suggested to select a
high-voltage rating, so that the operating voltage is a
small percentage of the maximum rated capacitor voltage. For example, choose a ceramic capacitor rated at
16V for the 2.5V core voltage. Suggested capacitors
are shown in Table 2-1.
2.5
ICSP Pins
The PGC and PGD pins are used for In-Circuit Serial
Programming™ (ICSP™) and debugging purposes. It
is recommended to keep the trace length between the
ICSP connector and the ICSP pins on the device as
short as possible. If the ICSP connector is expected to
experience an ESD event, a series resistor is recommended, with the value in the range of a few tens of
ohms, not to exceed 100Ω.
Pull-up resistors, series diodes and capacitors on the
PGC and PGD pins are not recommended as they will
interfere with the programmer/debugger communications to the device. If such discrete components are an
application requirement, they should be removed from
the circuit during programming and debugging. Alternatively, refer to the AC/DC characteristics and timing
requirements information in the respective device
Flash programming specification for information on
capacitive loading limits, and pin input voltage high
(VIH) and input low (VIL) requirements.
For device emulation, ensure that the “Communication
Channel Select” (i.e., PGCx/PGDx pins), programmed
into the device, matches the physical connections for
the ICSP to the Microchip debugger/emulator tool.
For more information on available Microchip
development tools connection requirements, refer to
Section 30.0 “Development Support”.

Many microcontrollers have options for at least two
oscillators: a high-frequency primary oscillator and a
low-frequency
secondary
oscillator
(refer to
Section 3.0 “Oscillator Configurations” for details).
The oscillator circuit should be placed on the same
side of the board as the device. Place the oscillator
circuit close to the respective oscillator pins with no
more than 0.5 inch (12 mm) between the circuit
components and the pins. The load capacitors should
be placed next to the oscillator itself, on the same side
of the board.
Use a grounded copper pour around the oscillator circuit to isolate it from surrounding circuits. The
grounded copper pour should be routed directly to the
MCU ground. Do not run any signal traces or power
traces inside the ground pour. Also, if using a two-sided
board, avoid any traces on the other side of the board
where the crystal is placed.

Layout suggestions are shown in Figure 2-4. In-line

that completely encompasses the oscillator pins. With
fine-pitch packages, it is not always possible to completely surround the pins and components. A suitable
solution is to tie the broken guard sections to a mirrored
ground layer. In all cases, the guard trace(s) must be
returned to ground.
In planning the application’s routing and I/O assignments, ensure that adjacent port pins, and other
signals in close proximity to the oscillator, are benign
(i.e., free of high frequencies, short rise and fall times,
and other similar noise).

on RA6 and I/O on RA7
There is also an option for running the 4xPLL on any of
the clock sources in the input frequency range of 4 to
16 MHz.
To optimize power consumption when using EC/HS/
XT/LP/RC as the primary oscillator, the frequency input
range can be configured to yield an optimized power
bias:
• Low-Power Bias – External frequency less than
160 kHz
• Medium Power Bias – External frequency
between 160 kHz and 16 MHz
• High-Power Bias – External frequency greater
than 16 MHz
All of these modes are selected by the user by
programming the OSC<3:0> Configuration bits
(CONFIG1H<3:0>). In addition, PIC18F87K90 family
devices can switch between different clock sources,
either under software control or under certain conditions, automatically. This allows for additional power
savings by managing device clock speed in real time
without resetting the application. The clock sources for
the PIC18F87K90 family of devices are shown in
Figure 3-1.
For the HS and EC mode, there are additional power
modes of operation – depending on the frequency of
operation.
For the EC and HS mode, the PLLEN (software) or
PLLCFG (CONFIG) bit can be used to enable the PLL.
HS1 is the Medium Power mode with a frequency
range of 4 MHz to 16 MHz. HS2 is the High-Power
mode where the oscillator frequency can go from
16 MHz to 25 MHz. HS1 and HS2 are achieved by
setting the CONFIG1H<3:0> correctly. (For details, see
Register 28-2 on page 428.)
For the INTIOx modes (HF-INTOSC):
EC mode has these modes of operation:
• Only the PLLEN can enable the PLL (PLLCFG is
ignored).
• When the oscillator is configured for the internal
oscillator (OSC<3:0> = 100x), the PLL can be
enabled only when the HF-INTOSC frequency is
8 or 16 MHz.
• EC1 – For low power with a frequency range up to
160 kHz
• EC2 – Medium power with a frequency range of
160 kHz to 16 MHz
• EC3 – High power with a frequency range of
16 MHz to 64 MHz
When the RA6 and RA7 pins are not used for an oscillator function or CLKOUT function, they are available
as general purpose I/Os.
EC1, EC2 and EC3 are achieved by setting the
CONFIG1H<3:0> correctly. (For details, see
Register 28-2 on page 428.)
The PLL is enabled by setting the PLLCFG bit
(CONFIG1H<4>) or the PLLEN bit (OSCTUNE<6>).
Table 3-1 shows the HS and EC modes’ frequency
range and OSC<3:0> settings.

Clock Sources and
Oscillator Switching
Essentially, PIC18F87K90 family devices have these
independent clock sources:
• 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 OSC<3:0>
Configuration bits (CONFIG1H<3:0>), the internal
oscillator block may be considered a primary oscillator.
The internal oscillator block can be one of the following:
• 31 kHz LF-INTRC source
• 31 kHz to 500 kHz MF-INTOSC source
• 31 kHz to 16 MHz HF-INTOSC source
The particular mode is defined by the OSC
Configuration bits. The details of these modes are
covered in Section 3.4 “External Oscillator Modes”.
The secondary oscillators are external clock
sources that are not connected to the OSC1 or OSC2
pin. These sources may continue to operate, even
after the controller is placed in a power-managed
 2009-2011 Microchip Technology Inc.
mode. PIC18F87K90 family devices offer the SOSC
(Timer1/3/5/7) oscillator as a secondary oscillator
source. This oscillator, in all power-managed modes, is
often the time base for functions, such as a Real-Time
Clock (RTC).
The SOSCEN bit in the corresponding timer should be
set correctly for the enabled SOSC. The
SOSCEL<1:0> bits (CONFIG1L<4:3>) decide the
SOSC mode of operation:
• 11 = High-power SOSC circuit
• 10 = Digital (SCLKI) mode
• 01 = Low-power SOSC circuit
In addition to being a primary clock source in some
circumstances, the internal oscillator is available as a
power-managed mode clock source. The LF-INTOSC
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 3.6 “Internal Oscillator
Block”.
The PIC18F87K90 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.

XT

HS
4 MHz to 25 MHz
EC

The crystal-based oscillators (XT, HS and LP) have a
built-in start-up time. The operation of the EC and
EXTRC clocks is immediate.
3.3.2
CLOCK SOURCE SELECTION
The System Clock Select bits, SCS<1:>0
(OSCCON2<1:0>), select the clock source. The available clock sources are the primary clock defined by the
OSC<3:0> Configuration bits, the secondary clock
(SOSC oscillator) and the internal oscillator. The clock
source changes after one or more of the bits is written
to, following a brief clock transition interval.
The
OSTS
(OSCCON<3>)
and
SOSCRUN
(OSCCON2<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 SOSCRUN bit
indicates when the SOSC oscillator (from Timer1/3/5/7)
is providing the device clock in secondary 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.
The IDLEN bit (OSCCON<7>) determines if the device
goes into Sleep mode or one of the Idle modes when
the SLEEP instruction is executed.
The use of the flag and control bits in the OSCCON
register is discussed in more detail in Section 4.0
“Power-Managed Modes”.
Note 1: The secondary oscillator must be enabled
to select the secondary clock source. The
SOSC oscillator is enabled by setting the
SOSCGO bit in the OSCCON2 register
(OSCCON<3>). If the SOSC oscillator is
not enabled, then any attempt to select a
secondary clock source when executing a
SLEEP instruction will be ignored.
2: It is recommended that the secondary
oscillator be operating and stable before
executing the SLEEP instruction or a very
long delay may occur while the SOSC
oscillator starts.

System Clock Selection and Device
Resets
Since the SCS bits are cleared on all forms of Reset,
this means the primary oscillator, defined by the
OSC<3:0> 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, XT, LP, External RC and
PLL-enabled modes).
In those cases when the internal oscillator block, without 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 8 MHz; the postscaler
selection that corresponds to the Reset value of the
IRCF<2:0> 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 OSC Configuration bits are read and the
oscillator selection of the operational mode is made.
Note that either the primary clock source or the internal
oscillator will have two bit setting options for the possible
values of the SCS<1:0> bits, at any given time.
3.3.3
OSCILLATOR TRANSITIONS
PIC18F87K90 family devices contain circuitry to
prevent clock “glitches” when switching between clock
sources. A short pause in the device clock occurs during the clock switch. The length of this pause is the sum
of two cycles of the old clock source and three to four
cycles of the new clock source. This formula assumes
that the new clock source is stable.
Clock transitions are discussed in greater detail in
Section 4.1.2 “Entering Power-Managed Modes”.

External Oscillator Modes
CRYSTAL OSCILLATOR/CERAMIC
RESONATORS (HS MODES)
In HS or HSPLL Oscillator modes, a crystal or ceramic
resonator is connected to the OSC1 and OSC2 pins to
establish oscillation. Figure 3-2 shows the pin
connections.
The oscillator design requires the use of a crystal rated
for parallel resonant operation.
Note:
Use of a crystal rated for series resonant
operation may give a frequency out of the
crystal manufacturer’s specifications.

RC Oscillator
For timing-insensitive applications, the RC and RCIO
Oscillator modes offer additional cost savings. The
actual oscillator frequency is a function of several
factors:
• Supply voltage
• Values of the external resistor (REXT) and
capacitor (CEXT)
• Operating temperature – Given the same device,
operating voltage and temperature and
component values, there will also be unit-to-unit
frequency variations. These are due to factors,
such as:
- Normal manufacturing variation
- Difference in lead frame capacitance
between package types (especially for low
CEXT values)
- Variations within the tolerance of limits of
REXT and CEXT
DS39957D-page 47
PIC18F87K90 FAMILY
In the RC Oscillator mode, the oscillator frequency
divided by 4 is available on the OSC2 pin. This signal
may be used for test purposes or to synchronize other
logic. Figure 3-3 shows how the R/C combination is
connected.

EXTERNAL CLOCK INPUT
(EC MODES)
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.
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 3-5 shows the pin connections for the EC
Oscillator mode.

PLL FREQUENCY MULTIPLIER
A Phase Lock Loop (PLL) circuit is provided as an
option for users who want to use a lower frequency
oscillator circuit, or to clock the device up to its highest
rated frequency from a crystal oscillator. This may be
useful for customers who are concerned with EMI due
to high-frequency crystals, or users who require higher
clock speeds from an internal oscillator.
3.5.2.1
HSPLL and ECPLL Modes
The HSPLL and ECPLL modes provide the ability to
selectively run the device at four times the external
oscillating source to produce frequencies up to 64 MHz.
The PLL is enabled by setting the PLLEN bit
(OSCTUNE<6>) or the PLLCFG bit (CONFIG1H<4>).
The PLLEN bit provides software control for the PLL,
even if PLLCFG is set to ‘0’. The PLL is enabled only
when the HS or EC oscillator frequency is within the
4 MHz to 16 MHz input range.
This enables additional flexibility for controlling the
application’s clock speed in software. The PLLEN
should be enabled in HS or EC Oscillator mode only if
the input frequency is in the range of 4 MHz-16 MHz.

PLL and HF-INTOSC
The PLL is available to the internal oscillator block
when the internal oscillator block is configured as the
primary clock source. In this configuration, the PLL is
enabled in software and generates a clock output of up
to 64 MHz.
The operation of INTOSC with the PLL is described in
Section 3.6.2 “INTPLL Modes”. Care should be taken
that the PLL is enabled only if the HF-INTOSC
postscaler is configured for 8 MHz or 16 MHz.
3.6
Internal Oscillator Block
The PIC18F87K90 family of devices includes an
internal oscillator block which generates two different
clock signals. Either clock can be used as the microcontroller’s clock source, which may eliminate the need
for an external oscillator circuit on the OSC1 and/or
OSC2 pins.
The internal oscillator consists of three blocks, depending on the frequency of operation. They are
HF-INTOSC, MF-INTOSC and LF-INTRC.
In HF-INTOSC mode, the internal oscillator can provide
a frequency, ranging from 31 kHz to 16 MHz, with the
postscaler
deciding
the
selected
frequency
(IRCF<2:0>).
The INTSRC bit (OSCTUNE<7>) and MFIOSEL bit
(OSCCON2<0>) also decide which INTOSC provides
the lower frequency (500 kHz to 31 kHz). For the
HF-INTOSC to provide these frequencies, INTSRC = 1
and MFI0SEL = 0.
In HF-INTOSC, the postscaler (IRCF<2:0>) provides the
frequency range of 31 kHz to 16 MHz. If HF-INTOSC is
used with the PLL, the input frequency to the PLL should
be 8 MHz or 16 MHz (IRCF<2:0> = 111, 110).
 2009-2011 Microchip Technology Inc.
For MF-INTOSC mode to provide a frequency range of
500 kHz to 31 kHz, INTSRC = 1 and MFIOSEL = 1.
The postscaler (IRCF<2:0>), in this mode, provides the
frequency range of 31 kHz to 500 kHz.
The LF-INTRC can provide only 31 kHz if INTSRC = 0.
The LF-INTRC provides 31 kHz and is enabled if it
selected as the device clock source. The mode
enabled automatically when any of the following
enabled:
• Power-up Timer
• Fail-Safe Clock Monitor
• Watchdog Timer
• Two-Speed Start-up
These features are discussed in greater detail

The clock source frequency (HF-INTOSC, MF-INTOSC
or LF-INTRC direct) is selected by configuring the IRCF
bits of the OSCCON register, as well the INTSRC and
MFIOSEL bits. The default frequency on device Resets
is 8 MHz.
3.6.1
INTIO MODES
Using the internal oscillator as the clock source eliminates 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
OSC Configuration bits, are available:
• In INTIO1 mode, the OSC2 pin (RA6) outputs
FOSC/4, while OSC1 functions as RA7 (see
Figure 3-8) for digital input and output.
• In INTIO2 mode, OSC1 functions as RA7 and
OSC2 functions as RA6 (see Figure 3-9). Both
are available as digital input and output ports.

3.6.2
INTPLL MODES
The 4x Phase Locked Loop (PLL) can be used with the
HF-INTOSC to produce faster device clock speeds
than are normally possible with the internal oscillator
sources. When enabled, the PLL produces a clock
speed of 32 MHz or 64 MHz.
PLL operation is controlled through software. The control bit, PLLEN (OSCTUNE<6>) is used to enable or
disable its operation. Additionally, the PLL will only function when the selected HF-INTOSC frequency is either
8 MHz or 16 MHz (OSCCON<6:4> = 111 or 110).
Like the INTIO modes, there are two distinct INTPLL
modes available:
• 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 3-8).
• 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 3-9).
3.6.3
INTERNAL OSCILLATOR OUTPUT
FREQUENCY AND TUNING
The internal oscillator block is calibrated at the factory
to produce an INTOSC output frequency of 16 MHz. It
can be adjusted in the user’s application by writing to
TUN<5:0> (OSCTUNE<5:0>) in the OSCTUNE
register (Register 3-3).
When the OSCTUNE register is modified, the INTOSC
(HF-INTOSC and MF-INTOSC) frequency will begin
shifting to the new frequency. The oscillator will require
some time to stabilize. Code execution continues
during this shift and there is no indication that the shift
has occurred.
The LF-INTOSC oscillator operates independently of
the HF-INTOSC or the MF-INTOSC source. Any
changes in the HF-INTOSC or the MF-INTOSC source,
across voltage and temperature, are not necessarily
reflected by changes in LF-INTOSC or vice versa. The
frequency of LF-INTOSC is not affected by OSCTUNE.
3.6.4
INTOSC FREQUENCY DRIFT
The INTOSC frequency may drift as VDD or temperature 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
register. Depending on the device, this may have no
effect on the LF-INTOSC clock source frequency.
DS39957D-page 50
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.
3.6.4.1
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.
3.6.4.2
Compensating with the Timers
This technique compares device clock speed to some
reference clock. Two timers may be used; one timer is
clocked by the peripheral clock, while the other is
clocked by a fixed reference source, such as the SOSC
oscillator.
Both timers are cleared, but the timer clocked by the
reference source 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.
3.6.4.3
Compensating with the CCP Module
in Capture Mode
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.
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.

3.7
Reference Clock Output
In addition to the FOSC/4 clock output in certain oscillator modes, the device clock in the PIC18F87K90 family
can also be configured to provide a reference clock output signal to a port pin. This feature is available in all
oscillator configurations and allows the user to select a
greater range of clock submultiples to drive external
devices in the application.
This reference clock output is controlled by the
REFOCON register (Register 3-4). Setting the ROON
bit (REFOCON<7>) makes the clock signal available
on the REFO (RE3) pin. The RODIV<3:0> bits enable
the selection of 16 different clock divider options.
REGISTER 3-4:
R/W-0
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.

The ROSSLP and ROSEL bits (REFOCON<5:4>) control the availability of the reference output during Sleep

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.

Effects of Power-Managed Modes
on the Various Clock Sources
When PRI_IDLE mode is selected, the designated primary oscillator continues to run without interruption.
For all other power-managed modes, the oscillator
using the OSC1 pin is disabled. The OSC1 pin (and
OSC2 pin if used by the oscillator) will stop oscillating.
In secondary clock modes (SEC_RUN and
SEC_IDLE), the SOSC oscillator is operating and
providing the device clock. The SOSC oscillator may
also run in all power-managed modes if required to
clock SOSC.
In RC_RUN and RC_IDLE modes, the internal
oscillator provides the device clock source. The 31 kHz
LF-INTOSC 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 28.2 “Watchdog Timer (WDT)” through
Section 28.5 “Fail-Safe Clock Monitor” for more
information on WDT, Fail-Safe Clock Monitor and
Two-Speed Start-up).
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).
Enabling any on-chip feature that will operate during
Sleep will increase the current consumed during Sleep.
The INTOSC is required to support WDT operation.
The SOSC oscillator may be operating to support a
TABLE 3-4:
Real-Time Clock (RTC). Other features may be operating that do not require a device clock source (i.e.,
MSSP slave, INTx pins and others). Peripherals that
may add significant current consumption are listed in
Section 31.2 “DC Characteristics: Power-Down and
Supply Current PIC18F87K90 Family (Industrial/
Extended)”.
3.9
Power-up Delays
Power-up delays are controlled by two timers, so that
no external Reset circuitry is required for most applications. The delays ensure that the device is kept in
Reset until the device power supply is stable under normal circumstances and the primary clock is operating
and stable. For additional information on power-up
delays, see Section 5.6 “Power-up Timer (PWRT)”.
The first timer is the Power-up Timer (PWRT), which
provides a fixed delay on a power-up time of about
64 ms (Parameter 33, Table 31-10); 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, XT or LP modes). The
OST does this by counting 1,024 oscillator cycles
before allowing the oscillator to clock the device.
There is a delay of interval, TCSD (Parameter 38,
Table 31-10), following POR, while the controller
becomes ready to execute instructions.

POWER-MANAGED MODES
The PIC18F87K90 family of devices offers a total of
seven operating modes for more efficient power management. These modes provide a variety of options for
selective power conservation in applications where
resources may be limited (such as battery-powered
devices).
There are three categories of power-managed modes:
• Run modes
• Idle modes
• Sleep mode
There is an Ultra Low-Power Wake-up (ULPWU) for
waking from the Sleep mode.
These categories define which portions of the device
are clocked, and sometimes, at what speed. The Run
and Idle modes may use any of the three available
clock sources (primary, secondary or internal oscillator
block). The Sleep mode does not use a clock source.
The ULPWU mode, on the RA0 pin, enables a slow falling voltage to generate a wake-up, even from Sleep,
without excess current consumption. (See Section 4.7
“Ultra Low-Power Wake-up”.)
The power-managed modes include several powersaving features offered on previous PIC® devices. One
is the clock switching feature, offered in other PIC18
devices. This feature allows the controller to use the
SOSC oscillator instead of the primary one. Another
power-saving feature is Sleep mode, offered by all PIC
devices, where all device clocks are stopped.
4.1
Selecting Power-Managed Modes
Selecting a power-managed mode requires two
decisions:
• Will the CPU be clocked or not
• What will be the clock source
TABLE 4-1:
4.1.1
CLOCK SOURCES
The SCS<1:0> bits select one of three clock sources
for power-managed modes. Those sources are:
• The primary clock, as defined by the OSC<3:0>
Configuration bits
• The secondary clock (the SOSC oscillator)
• The internal oscillator block (for LF-INTOSC
modes)
4.1.2
ENTERING POWER-MANAGED
MODES
Switching from one power-managed mode to another
begins by loading the OSCCON register. The
SCS<1:0> bits select the clock source and determine
which Run or Idle mode is 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 considerations
are discussed in Section 4.1.3 “Clock Transitions
and Status Indicators” and subsequent sections.
Entering the power-managed Idle or Sleep modes is
triggered by the execution of a SLEEP instruction. The
actual mode that results depends on the status of the
IDLEN bit.
Depending on the current and impending mode, a
change to a power-managed mode does not always
require setting all of the previously discussed bits. Many
transitions can 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 as
desired, it may only be necessary to perform a SLEEP
instruction to switch to the desired mode.

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.
The HF-INTOSC and MF-INTOSC are termed as
INTOSC in this chapter.
Three bits indicate the current clock source and its
status, as shown in Table 4-2. The three bits are:
• OSTS (OSCCON<3>)
• HFIOFS (OSCCON<2>)
• SOSCRUN (OSCCON2<6>)

When the OSTS bit is set, the primary clock is providing
the device clock. When the HFIOFS or MFIOFS bit is
set, the INTOSC output is providing a stable clock
source to a divider that actually drives the device clock.
When the SOSCRUN bit is set, the SOSC oscillator is
providing the clock. If none of these bits are set, either
the LF-INTOSC clock source is clocking the device or
the INTOSC source is not yet stable.
If the internal oscillator block is configured as the
primary clock source by the OSC<3:0> Configuration
bits (CONFIG1H<3:0>), then the OSTS and HFIOFS or
MFIOFS bits can be set when in PRI_RUN or
PRI_IDLE modes. This indicates that the primary clock
(INTOSC output) is generating a stable output.
Entering another INTOSC power-managed mode at
the same frequency would clear the OSTS bit.
Note 1: Caution should be used when modifying
a single IRCF bit. At a lower VDD, it is
possible to select a higher clock speed
than is supportable by that VDD. Improper
device operation may result if the VDD/
FOSC specifications are violated.
2: Executing a SLEEP instruction does not
necessarily place the device into Sleep
mode. It acts as the trigger to place the
controller into either the Sleep mode or
one of the Idle modes, depending on the
setting of the IDLEN bit.
DS39957D-page 54
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 SLEEP instruction 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.
4.2
Run Modes
In the Run modes, clocks to both the core and
peripherals are active. The difference between these
modes is the clock source.
SYSTEM CLOCK INDICATOR
Main Clock Source
4.1.4
4.2.1
PRI_RUN MODE
The PRI_RUN mode is the normal, Full-Power Execution mode of the microcontroller. This is also the default
mode upon a device Reset, unless Two-Speed Start-up
is enabled. (For details, see Section 28.4 “Two-Speed
Start-up”.) In this mode, the OSTS bit is set. The
HFIOFS or MFIOFS bit may be set if the internal
oscillator block is the primary clock source. (See
Section 3.2 “Control Registers”.)
4.2.2
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 SOSC oscillator. This enables lower
power consumption while retaining a high-accuracy
clock source.
SEC_RUN mode is entered by setting the SCS<1:0>
bits to ‘01’. The device clock source is switched to the
SOSC oscillator (see Figure 4-1), the primary oscillator
is shut down, the SOSCRUN bit (OSCCON2<6>) is set
and the OSTS bit is cleared.
Note:
The SOSC oscillator can be enabled by
setting the SOSCGO bit (OSCCON2<3>).
If this bit is set, the clock switch to the
SEC_RUN mode can switch immediately
once SCS<1:0> are set to ‘01’.
On transitions from SEC_RUN mode to PRI_RUN
mode, the peripherals and CPU continue to be clocked
from the SOSC oscillator while the primary clock is
started. When the primary clock becomes ready, a
clock switch back to the primary clock occurs (see
Figure 4-2). When the clock switch is complete, the
SOSCRUN 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 and the
SOSC oscillator continues to run.

4.2.3
RC_RUN MODE
In RC_RUN mode, the CPU and peripherals are
clocked from the internal oscillator block using the
INTOSC multiplexer. In this mode, the primary clock is
shut down. When using the LF-INTOSC source, this
mode provides the best power conservation of all the
Run modes, while still executing code. It works well for
user applications which are not highly timing-sensitive
or do not require high-speed clocks at all times.
If the primary clock source is the internal oscillator
block – either LF-INTOSC or INTOSC (MF-INTOSC or
HF-INTOSC) – there are no distinguishable differences
between the PRI_RUN and RC_RUN modes during
execution. Entering or exiting RC_RUN mode,
however, causes a clock switch delay. Therefore, if the
primary clock source is the internal oscillator block,
using RC_RUN mode is not recommended.
 2009-2011 Microchip Technology Inc.
This mode is entered by setting the SCS1 bit to ‘1’. To
maintain software compatibility with future devices, it is
recommended that the SCS0 bit also be cleared, even
though the bit is ignored. When the clock source is
switched to the INTOSC multiplexer (see Figure 4-3),
the primary oscillator is shut down and the OSTS bit is
cleared. The IRCF bits may be modified at any time to
immediately change the clock speed.
Note:
Caution should be used when modifying a
single IRCF bit. At a lower VDD, it is
possible to select a higher clock speed
than is supportable by that VDD. Improper
device operation may result if the VDD/
FOSC specifications are violated.
DS39957D-page 55
PIC18F87K90 FAMILY
If the IRCF bits and the INTSRC bit are all clear, the
INTOSC output (HF-INTOSC/MF-INTOSC) is not
enabled, and the HFIOFS and MFIOFS bits will remain
clear. There will be no indication of the current clock
source. The LF-INTOSC source is providing the device
clocks.
TABLE 4-3:
If the IRCF bits are changed from all clear (thus,
enabling the INTOSC output) or if INTSRC or
MFIOSEL is set, the HFIOFS or MFIOFS bit is set after
the INTOSC output becomes stable. For details, see
Table 4-3.

Clocks to the device continue while the INTOSC source
stabilizes after an interval of TIOBST (Parameter 39,

If the IRCF bits were previously at a non-zero value, or
if INTSRC was set before setting SCS1, and the
INTOSC source was already stable, the HFIOFS or
MFIOFS bit will remain set.
DS39957D-page 56
On transitions from RC_RUN mode to PRI_RUN mode,
the device continues to be clocked from the INTOSC
multiplexer while the primary clock is started. When the
primary clock becomes ready, a clock switch to the
primary clock occurs (see Figure 4-4). When the clock
switch is complete, the HFIOFS or MFIOFS bit is
cleared, the OSTS bit is set and the primary clock is
providing the device clock. The IDLEN and SCS bits
are not affected by the switch. The LF-INTOSC source
will continue to run if either the WDT or the Fail-Safe
Clock Monitor is enabled.

4.3
Sleep Mode
4.4
The power-managed Sleep mode in the PIC18F87K90
family of devices is identical to the legacy Sleep mode
offered in all other PIC devices. It is entered by clearing
the IDLEN bit (the default state on device Reset) and
executing the SLEEP instruction. This shuts down the
selected oscillator (Figure 4-5). All clock source status
bits are cleared.
Idle Modes
The Idle modes allow the controller’s CPU to be
selectively shut down while the peripherals continue to
operate. Selecting a particular Idle mode allows users
to further manage power consumption.
If the IDLEN bit is set to a ‘1’ when a SLEEP instruction is
executed, the peripherals will be clocked from the clock
source selected using the SCS<1:0> bits. The CPU,
however, will not be clocked. The clock source status bits
are not affected. This approach is a quick method to
switch from a given Run mode to its corresponding Idle
mode.
Entering 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 LF-INTOSC source will continue
to operate. If the SOSC oscillator is enabled, it will also
continue to run.
If the WDT is selected, the LF-INTOSC source will
continue to operate. If the SOSC 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 SCS<1:0> bits
becomes ready (see Figure 4-6). Alternately, the device
will be clocked from the internal oscillator block if either
the Two-Speed Start-up or the Fail-Safe Clock Monitor is
enabled (see Section 28.0 “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 31-10) while it becomes ready to
execute code. When the CPU begins executing code,
it resumes with the same clock source for the current
Idle mode. For example, when waking from RC_IDLE
mode, the internal oscillator block will clock the CPU
and peripherals (in other words, RC_RUN mode). The
IDLEN and SCS bits are not affected by the wake-up.
While in any Idle mode or Sleep mode, a WDT timeout will result in a WDT wake-up to the Run mode
currently specified by the SCS<1:0> bits.

4.4.1
PRI_IDLE MODE
4.4.2
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.
PRI_IDLE mode is entered from PRI_RUN mode by
setting the IDLEN bit and executing a SLEEP instruction. If the device is in another Run mode, set IDLEN
first, then clear the SCS bits and execute SLEEP.
Although the CPU is disabled, the peripherals continue
to be clocked from the primary clock source specified
by the OSC<3:0> Configuration bits. The OSTS bit
remains set (see Figure 4-7).
SEC_IDLE MODE
In SEC_IDLE mode, the CPU is disabled but the
peripherals continue to be clocked from the SOSC
oscillator. This mode is entered from SEC_RUN by setting the IDLEN bit and executing a SLEEP instruction. If
the device is in another Run mode, set the IDLEN bit
first, then set the SCS<1:0> bits to ‘01’ and execute
SLEEP. When the clock source is switched to the SOSC
oscillator, the primary oscillator is shut down, the OSTS
bit is cleared and the SOSCRUN bit is set.
When a wake event occurs, the peripherals continue to
be clocked from the SOSC oscillator. After an interval of
TCSD following the wake event, the CPU begins executing code being clocked by the SOSC oscillator. The
IDLEN and SCS bits are not affected by the wake-up and
the SOSC oscillator continues to run (see Figure 4-8).
When a wake event occurs, the CPU is clocked from the
primary clock source. A delay of interval, TCSD
(Parameter 39, Table 31-10), is required between the
wake event and the start of code execution. 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 4-8).

4.4.3
RC_IDLE MODE
In RC_IDLE mode, the CPU is disabled but the peripherals continue to be clocked from the internal oscillator
block using the INTOSC multiplexer. This mode
provides controllable power conservation during Idle
periods.
From RC_RUN, this mode is entered by setting the
IDLEN bit and executing a SLEEP instruction. If the
device is in another Run mode, first set IDLEN, then set
the SCS1 bit and execute SLEEP. To maintain software
compatibility with future devices, it is recommended
that SCS0 also be cleared, though its value is ignored.
The INTOSC multiplexer may be used to select a
higher clock frequency by modifying the IRCF bits
before executing the SLEEP instruction. When the
clock source is switched to the INTOSC multiplexer, the
primary oscillator is shut down and the OSTS bit is
cleared.
If the IRCF bits are set to any non-zero value, or the
INTSRC/MFIOSEL bit is set, the INTOSC output is
enabled. The HFIOFS/MFIOFS bits become set, after
the INTOSC output becomes stable after an interval of
TIOBST (Parameter 38, Table 31-10). (For information
on the HFIOFS/MFIOFS bits, see Table 4-3.)
Clocks to the peripherals continue while the INTOSC
source stabilizes. The HFIOFS/MFIOFS bits will
remain set if the IRCF bits were previously at a nonzero value or if INTSRC was set before the SLEEP
instruction was executed and the INTOSC source was
already stable. If the IRCF bits and INTSRC are all
clear, the INTOSC output will not be enabled, the
HFIOFS/MFIOFS bits will remain clear and there will be
no indication of the current clock source.
When a wake event occurs, the peripherals continue to
be clocked from the INTOSC multiplexer. After a delay
of TCSD (Parameter 38, Table 31-10), following the
wake event, the CPU begins executing code clocked
by the INTOSC multiplexer. 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.
DS39957D-page 60
4.5
Selective Peripheral Module
Control
Idle mode allows users to substantially reduce power
consumption by stopping the CPU clock. Even so,
peripheral modules still remain clocked, and thus,
consume power. There may be cases where the
application needs what this mode does not provide: the
allocation of power resources to the CPU, processing
with minimal power consumption from the peripherals.
PIC18F87K90 family devices address this requirement
by allowing peripheral modules to be selectively
disabled, reducing or eliminating their power
consumption. This can be done with two control bits:
• Peripheral Enable bit, generically named XXXEN –
Located in the respective module’s main control
register
• Peripheral Module Disable (PMD) bit, generically
named XXXMD – Located in one of the PMDx
Control registers (PMD0, PMD1, PMD2 or PMD3)
Disabling a module by clearing its XXXEN bit disables
the module’s functionality, but leaves its registers
available to be read and written to. This reduces power
consumption, but not by as much as the second
approach.
Most peripheral modules have an enable bit.
In contrast, setting the PMD bit for a module disables all
clock sources to that module, reducing its power
consumption to an absolute minimum. In this state, the
control and status registers associated with the
peripheral are also disabled, so writes to those registers
have no effect and read values are invalid. Many
peripheral modules have a corresponding PMD bit.
There are four PMD registers in the PIC18F87K90 family
devices: PMD0, PMD1, PMD2 and PMD3. These
registers have bits associated with each module for
disabling or enabling a particular peripheral.

Exiting Idle and Sleep Modes
An exit from Sleep mode or any of the Idle modes is
triggered by an interrupt, a Reset or a WDT time-out.
This section discusses the triggers that cause exits
from power-managed modes. The clocking subsystem
actions are discussed in each of the power-managed
modes (see Section 4.2 “Run Modes”, Section 4.3
“Sleep Mode” and Section 4.4 “Idle Modes”).
4.6.1
EXIT BY INTERRUPT
Any of the available interrupt sources can cause the
device to exit from an Idle or 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
INTCONx or PIEx 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 10.0 “Interrupts”).
4.6.2
EXIT BY WDT TIME-OUT
A WDT time-out will cause different actions depending
on which power-managed mode the device is in when
the time-out occurs.
If the device is not executing code (all Idle modes and
Sleep mode), the time-out will result in an exit from the
power-managed mode (see Section 4.2 “Run
Modes” and Section 4.3 “Sleep Mode”). If the device
is executing code (all Run modes), the time-out will
result in a WDT Reset (see Section 28.2 “Watchdog
Timer (WDT)”).
Executing a SLEEP or CLRWDT instruction clears the
WDT timer and postscaler, loses the currently selected
clock source (if the Fail-Safe Clock Monitor is enabled)
and modifies the IRCF bits in the OSCCON register (if
the internal oscillator block is the device clock source).
 2009-2011 Microchip Technology Inc.
4.6.3
EXIT BY RESET
Normally, the device is held in Reset by the Oscillator
Start-up Timer (OST) until the primary clock becomes
ready. At that time, the OSTS bit is set and the device
begins executing code. If the internal oscillator block is
the new clock source, the HFIOFS/MFIOFS bits are set
instead.
The exit delay time from Reset to the start of code
execution depends on both the clock sources before
and after the wake-up, and the type of oscillator if the
new clock source is the primary clock. Exit delays are
summarized in Table 4-4.
Code execution can begin before the primary clock
becomes ready. If either the Two-Speed Start-up (see
Section 28.4 “Two-Speed Start-up”) or Fail-Safe
Clock Monitor (see Section 28.5 “Fail-Safe Clock
Monitor”) is enabled, the device may begin execution
as soon as the Reset source has cleared. Execution is
clocked by the INTOSC multiplexer, driven by the internal oscillator block. Execution is clocked by the internal
oscillator block until either the primary clock becomes
ready or a power-managed mode is entered before the
primary clock becomes ready; the primary clock is then
shut down.
4.6.4
EXIT WITHOUT AN OSCILLATOR
START-UP DELAY
Certain exits from power-managed modes do not
invoke the OST at all. The two cases are:
• When in PRI_IDLE mode, where the primary
clock source is not stopped
• When the primary clock source is not any of the
LP, XT, HS or HSPLL modes
In these instances, the primary clock source either
does not require an oscillator start-up delay, since it is
already running (PRI_IDLE), or normally does not
require an oscillator start-up delay (RC, EC and INTIO
Oscillator modes). However, a fixed delay of interval,
TCSD, following the wake event, is still required when
leaving Sleep and Idle modes to allow the CPU to
prepare for execution. Instruction execution resumes
on the first clock cycle following this delay.

4.7
Ultra Low-Power Wake-up
The Ultra Low-Power Wake-up (ULPWU) on pin, RA0,
allows a slow falling voltage to generate an interrupt
without excess current consumption.
To use this feature:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
A series resistor, between RA0 and the external capacitor, provides overcurrent protection for the RA0/AN0/
ULPWU pin and enables software calibration of the
time-out (see Figure 4-9).
FIGURE 4-9:
Charge the capacitor on RA0 by configuring the
RA0 pin to an output and setting it to ‘1’.
Stop charging the capacitor by configuring RA0
as an input.
Discharge the capacitor by setting the ULPEN
and ULPSINK bits in the WDTCON register.
Configure Sleep mode.
Enter Sleep mode.
ULTRA LOW-POWER
WAKE-UP INITIALIZATION
RA0/AN0/ULPWU
When the voltage on RA0 drops below VIL, the device
wakes up and executes the next instruction.
This feature provides a low-power technique for
periodically waking up the device from Sleep mode.
The time-out is dependent on the discharge time of the
RC circuit on RA0.
When the ULPWU module wakes the device from
Sleep mode, the ULPLVL bit (WDTCON<5>) is set.
Software can check this bit upon wake-up to determine
the wake-up source.
See Example 4-1 for initializing the ULPWU module.
EXAMPLE 4-1:

//***************************

DS39957D-page 66
A timer can be used to measure the charge time and
discharge time of the capacitor. The charge time can
then be adjusted to provide the desired delay in Sleep.
This technique compensates for the affects of
temperature, voltage and component accuracy. The
peripheral can also be configured as a simple
programmable Low-Voltage Detect (LVD) or
temperature sensor.

TCSD (Parameter 38, Table 31-10) is a required delay when waking from Sleep and all Idle modes, and
runs concurrently with any other required delays (see Section 4.4 “Idle Modes”).
Includes postscaler derived frequencies. On Reset, INTOSC defaults to HF-INTOSC at 8 MHz.
TOST is the Oscillator Start-up Timer (Parameter 32, Table 31-10). TRC is the PLL Lock-out Timer
(Parameter F12, Table 31-7); it is also designated as TPLL.
Execution continues during TIOBST (Parameter 39, Table 31-10), the INTOSC stabilization period.
The clock source is dependent upon the settings of the SCS (OSCCON<1:0>), IRCF (OSCCON<6:4>)
and FOSC (CONFIG1H<3:0>) bits.

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 5.7 “Reset State
of Registers”.
The RCON register also has a control bit for setting
interrupt priority (IPEN). Interrupt priority is discussed
in Section 10.0 “Interrupts”.

5.2
Master Clear (MCLR)
The MCLR pin provides a method for triggering a hard
external Reset of the device. A Reset is generated by
holding the pin low. PIC18 extended microcontroller
devices have a noise filter in the MCLR Reset path
which detects and ignores small pulses.
The MCLR pin is not driven low by any internal Resets,
including the WDT.
5.3
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.
To take advantage of the POR circuitry, tie the MCLR
pin through a resistor (1 k to 10 k) 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 5-2.
When the device starts normal operation (exiting the
Reset condition), device operating parameters (such
as voltage, frequency and temperature) must be met to
ensure operation. If these conditions are not met, the
device must be held in Reset until the operating
conditions are met.
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 and 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.
5.4
In Zero-Power BOR (ZPBORMV), the module monitors
the VDD voltage and re-arms the POR at about 2V.
ZPBORMV does not cause a Reset, but re-arms the
POR.
The BOR accuracy varies with its power level. The
lower the power setting, the less accurate the BOR trip
levels are. So, the high-power BOR has the highest
accuracy and the low-power BOR has the lowest accuracy. The trip levels (BVDD, Parameter D005), current
consumption (Section 31.2 “DC Characteristics:
Power-Down and Supply Current PIC18F87K90
Family (Industrial/Extended)”) and time required
below BVDD (TBOR, Parameter 35) can all be found in
Section 31.0 “Electrical Characteristics”
FIGURE 5-2:
D
Each power mode is selected by the BORPWR<1:0>
bits setting (CONFIG2L<6:5>). For low, medium and
high-power BOR, the module monitors the VDD depending on the BORV<1:0> setting (CONFIG1L<3:2>). A
BOR event re-arms the Power-on Reset. It also causes
a Reset depending on which of the trip levels has been
set: 1.8V, 2V, 2.7V or 3V. The typical (IBOR) trip level for
the Low and Medium Power BOR will be 0.75 A and
3 A.

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.
LP-BOR cannot be detected with the BOR bit in the
RCON register. LP-BOR can rearm the POR and can
cause a Power-on Reset.

Configuration Mismatch (CM)
5.6
Power-up Timer (PWRT)
The Configuration Mismatch (CM) Reset is designed to
detect, and attempt to recover from, random, memory
corrupting events. These include Electrostatic Discharge
(ESD) events that can cause widespread, single bit
changes throughout the device and result in catastrophic
failure.
PIC18F87K90 family devices incorporate an on-chip
Power-up Timer (PWRT) to help regulate the Power-on
Reset process. The PWRT is enabled by setting the
PWRTEN bit (CONFIG2L<0>). The main function is to
ensure that the device voltage is stable before code is
executed.
In PIC18F87K90 family Flash devices, the device
Configuration registers (located in the configuration
memory space) are continuously monitored during
operation by comparing their values to complimentary
shadow registers. 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 and does not change for any other
Reset event.
The Power-up Timer (PWRT) of the PIC18F87K90
family devices is a 13-bit counter that uses the
LF-INTOSC source as the clock input. This yields an
approximate time interval of 2,048 x 32 s = 66 ms.
While the PWRT is counting, the device is held in
Reset.
A CM Reset behaves similarly to a Master Clear Reset,
RESET instruction, WDT time-out or Stack Event Reset.
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 LF-INTOSC
clock and will vary from chip-to-chip due to temperature
and process variation. See DC Parameter 33 for
details.
5.6.1
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 5-3, Figure 5-4,
Figure 5-5 and Figure 5-6 all depict time-out
sequences on power-up with the Power-up Timer
enabled.
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 5-5). This is useful for testing purposes or for
synchronizing more than one PIC18 device operating
in parallel.

These bits are used in software to determine the nature
of the Reset.
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 5-2 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,

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

MEMORY ORGANIZATION
PIC18F87K90 family devices have these types of
memory:
• Program Memory
• Data RAM
• Data EEPROM
As Harvard architecture devices, the data and program
memories use separate busses. This enables
concurrent access of the two memory spaces.
FIGURE 6-1:
The data EEPROM, for practical purposes, can be
regarded as a peripheral device because it is
addressed and accessed through a set of control
registers.
Additional detailed information on the operation of the
Flash program memory is provided in Section 7.0
“Flash Program Memory”. The data EEPROM is
discussed separately in Section 8.0 “Data EEPROM
Memory”.

Program Memory Organization
PIC18 microcontrollers implement a 21-bit Program
Counter that 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
NOP instruction).
The entire PIC18F87K90 family offers a range of
on-chip Flash program memory sizes, from 32 Kbytes
(up to 16,384 single-word instructions) to 128 Kbytes
(65,536 single-word instructions).
• PIC18F65K90 and PIC18F85K90 – 32 Kbytes of
Flash memory, storing up to 16,384 single-word
instructions
• PIC18F66K90 and PIC18F86K90 – 64 Kbytes of
Flash memory, storing up to 32,768 single-word
instructions
• PIC18F67K90 and PIC18F87K90 – 128 Kbytes of
Flash memory, storing up to 65,536 single-word
instructions
The program memory maps for individual family
members are shown in Figure 6-1.

HARD MEMORY VECTORS

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.
PIC18 devices also have two interrupt vector
addresses for handling high-priority and low-priority
interrupts. The high-priority interrupt vector is located at
0008h and the low-priority interrupt vector is at 0018h.
The locations of these vectors are shown, in relation to
the program memory map, in Figure 6-2.

PROGRAM COUNTER
The Program Counter (PC) specifies the address of the
instruction to fetch for execution. The PC is 21 bits wide
and 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 and 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.
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 6.1.5.1 “Computed GOTO”).
The PC addresses bytes in the program memory. To
prevent the PC from becoming misaligned with word
instructions, the Least Significant bit (LSb) of PCL is
fixed to a value of ‘0’. The PC increments by two to
address sequential instructions in the program
memory.
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.
6.1.3
RETURN ADDRESS STACK
The return address stack enables execution of any
combination of up to 31 program calls and interrupts.
The PC is pushed onto the stack when a CALL or
RCALL instruction is executed, or an interrupt is
Acknowledged. The PC value is pulled off the stack on
a RETURN, RETLW or a RETFIE instruction. The value
also is pulled off the stack on ADDULNK and SUBULNK
instructions, if the extended instruction set is enabled.
PCLATU and PCLATH are not affected by any of the
RETURN or CALL instructions.
FIGURE 6-3:
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.
A CALL type 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 RETURN type 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 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.
6.1.3.1
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, holds the contents of the stack
location pointed to by the STKPTR register
(Figure 6-3). This allows users to implement a software
stack, if necessary. After a CALL, RCALL or interrupt (or
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.
While accessing the stack, users must disable the
Global Interrupt Enable bits to prevent inadvertent
stack corruption.

6.1.3.2
Return Stack Pointer (STKPTR)
The STKPTR register (Register 6-1) contains the Stack
Pointer value, the STKFUL (Stack Full) status bit and
the STKUNF (Stack Underflow) status bits. The value
of the Stack Pointer can be 0 through 31. The Stack
Pointer increments before values are pushed onto the
stack and decrements after values are popped off the
stack. On Reset, the Stack Pointer value will be zero.
When the stack has been popped enough times to
unload the stack, the next pop will return a value of zero
to the PC and sets the STKUNF bit while the Stack
Pointer remains at zero. The STKUNF bit will remain
set until cleared by software or until a POR occurs.
Note:
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.
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.
What happens when the stack becomes full depends
on the state of the STVREN (Stack Overflow Reset
Enable) Configuration bit. (For a description of the
device Configuration bits, see Section 28.1 “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.
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.
REGISTER 6-1:
6.1.3.3
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.
PUSH and POP Instructions
Since the Top-of-Stack is readable and writable, the
ability to push values onto the stack and pull values off
the stack, without disturbing normal program execution, is a desirable feature. The PIC18 instruction set
includes two instructions, PUSH and POP, that permit
the TOS to be manipulated under software control.
TOSU, TOSH and TOSL can be modified to place data
or a return address on the stack.
The PUSH instruction places the current PC value onto
the stack. This increments the Stack Pointer and loads
the current PC value onto the stack.
The POP instruction discards the current TOS by
decrementing the Stack Pointer. The previous value
pushed onto the stack then becomes the TOS value.

Stack Full and Underflow Resets
Device Resets on stack overflow and stack underflow
conditions are enabled by setting the STVREN bit
(CONFIG4L<0>). 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.
6.1.4
FAST REGISTER STACK
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.
6.1.5
LOOK-UP TABLES IN PROGRAM
MEMORY
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
6.1.5.1
Computed GOTO
A computed GOTO is accomplished by adding an offset
to the Program Counter. An example is shown in
Example 6-2.
A look-up table can be formed with an ADDWF PCL
instruction and a group of RETLW nn instructions. 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 PCL instruction. 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 two (LSb = 0).
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, FAST instruction is then executed to restore
these registers from the Fast Register Stack.
EXAMPLE 6-2:
Example 6-1 shows a source code example that uses
the Fast Register Stack during a subroutine call and
return.

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
program word, while programming. The Table Pointer
(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.
The table read operation is discussed further in
Section 7.1 “Table Reads and Table Writes”.

PIC18 Instruction Cycle
6.2.1
An “Instruction Cycle” consists of four Q cycles, Q1
through Q4. The instruction fetch and execute are pipelined in such a manner that a fetch takes one instruction
cycle, while the decode and execute take another
instruction cycle. However, due to the pipelining, each
instruction effectively executes in one cycle. If an
instruction (such as GOTO) causes the Program
Counter to change, two cycles are required to complete
the instruction. (See Example 6-3.)
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, with the instruction
fetched from the program memory and latched into the
Instruction 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 6-4.
FIGURE 6-4:
INSTRUCTION FLOW/PIPELINING
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).

INSTRUCTIONS IN PROGRAM
MEMORY
The program memory is addressed in bytes. Instructions
are stored as two or four bytes in program memory. The
Least Significant Byte (LSB) 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
two and the LSB will always read ‘0’ (see Section 6.1.2
“Program Counter”).
Figure 6-5 shows an example of how instruction words
are stored in the program memory.
FIGURE 6-5:
The CALL and GOTO instructions have the absolute
program memory address embedded into the instruction. 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 6-5 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. For more details on the instruction set, see
Section 29.0 “Instruction Set Summary”.

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.
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 and

used by the instruction sequence. If the first word 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 6-4 shows how this works.

Note:
Data Memory Organization
The operation of some aspects of data
memory are changed when the PIC18
extended instruction set is enabled. See
Section 6.6 “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 4,096 bytes of data
memory. The memory space is divided into as many as
16 banks that contain 256 bytes each. PIC18FX6K90
and PIC18FX7K90 devices implement all 16 complete
banks, for a total of 4 Kbytes. PIC18FX5K90 devices
implement only the first eight complete banks, for a
total of 2 Kbytes.
Figure 6-6 and Figure 6-7 show the data memory
organization for the devices.
The data memory contains Special Function Registers
(SFRs) and General Purpose Registers (GPRs). The
SFRs are used for control and status of the controller
and peripheral functions, while GPRs are used for data
storage and scratchpad operations in the user’s
application. Any read of an unimplemented location will
read as ‘0’s.
The instruction set and architecture allow operations
across all banks. The entire data memory may be
accessed by Direct, Indirect or Indexed Addressing
modes. Addressing modes are discussed later in this
section.
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 without using the Bank Select Register. For details on the
Access RAM, see Section 6.3.2 “Access Bank”.
6.3.1
BANK SELECT REGISTER
Large areas of data memory require an efficient
addressing scheme to make possible rapid access to
any address. Ideally, this means that an entire address
does not need to be provided for each read or write
operation. For PIC18 devices, this is accomplished 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.
Most instructions in the PIC18 instruction set make use
of the Bank Pointer, known as the Bank Select Register
(BSR). This SFR holds the four Most Significant bits of
a location’s address. The instruction itself includes the
eight Least Significant bits. Only the four lower bits of
the BSR are implemented (BSR<3:0>). The upper four
bits are unused, always read as ‘0’ and cannot be
written to. The BSR can be loaded directly by using the
MOVLB instruction.
The value of the BSR indicates the bank in data
memory. The eight 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 6-7.
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.
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 6-6 indicates which banks are implemented.
In the core PIC18 instruction set, only the MOVFF
instruction fully specifies the 12-bit address of the
source and target registers. When this instruction
executes, it ignores the BSR completely. 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.

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.
The MOVFF instruction embeds the entire 12-bit address in the instruction.
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 ensure that the
correct bank is selected. If not, 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. But verifying and/or changing
the BSR for each read or write to data memory can
become very inefficient.
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 6-6).
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. In that case, the current value of
the BSR is ignored entirely.
DS39957D-page 94
FFh
00h
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.
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 6.6.3 “Mapping the Access Bank in
Indexed Literal Offset Mode”.
6.3.3
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.

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
all of Bank 15 (F00h to FFFh) and the top part of
Bank 14 (EF4h to EFFh).
A list of these registers is given in Table 6-1 and
Table 6-2.
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
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.
The SFRs are typically distributed among the
peripherals whose functions they control. Unused SFR
locations are unimplemented and read as ‘0’s.

STATUS REGISTER
The STATUS register, shown in Register 6-2, 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,
the write to these five bits is disabled.
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 STATUS will set the Z bit
but leave the other bits unchanged. The STATUS
register then reads back as ‘000u u1uu’.
REGISTER 6-2:
U-0
For other instructions not affecting any Status bits, see
the instruction set summaries in Table 29-2 and
Table 29-3.
Note:
The C and DC bits operate in subtraction,
as borrow and digit borrow bits, respectively.

It is recommended, therefore, that only BCF, BSF,
SWAPF, MOVFF and MOVWF instructions be used to
alter the STATUS register because these instructions
do not affect the Z, C, DC, OV or N bits in the STATUS
register.

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. For more information, see
Section 6.6 “Data Memory and the
Extended Instruction Set”.
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.
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). For details on
this mode’s operation, see Section 6.6.1 “Indexed
Addressing with Literal Offset”.
6.4.1
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 of this mode include SLEEP,
RESET and DAW.
Other instructions work in a similar way, but require an
additional explicit argument in the opcode. This method
is known as the Literal Addressing mode because the
instructions require some literal value as an argument.
Examples of this include ADDLW and 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.
6.4.2
DIRECT ADDRESSING
Direct Addressing specifies all or part of the source
and/or destination address of the operation within the
opcode itself. The options are specified by the
arguments accompanying the instruction.
In the core PIC18 instruction set, bit-oriented and
byte-oriented instructions use some version of Direct
Addressing by default. All of these instructions include
some 8-bit literal address as their Least Significant
Byte. This address specifies the instruction’s data
source as either a register address in one of the banks
DS39957D-page 104
of data RAM (see Section 6.3.3 “General Purpose
Register File”) or a location in the Access Bank (see
Section 6.3.2 “Access Bank”).
The Access RAM bit ‘a’ determines how the address is
interpreted. When ‘a’ is ‘1’, the contents of the BSR
(Section 6.3.1 “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.
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 original 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,
either the target register is being operated on or the W
register.
6.4.3
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.
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 6-5. It also enables users to perform
Indexed Addressing and other Stack Pointer
operations for program memory in data memory.

6.4.3.1
FSR Registers and the
INDF Operand
are mapped in 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.
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.
Instructions that use the INDF registers as operands
actually use the contents of their corresponding FSR as
a pointer to the instruction’s target. The INDF operand
is just a convenient way of using the pointer.
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
Indirect File Operands, INDF0 through INDF2. These
can be thought of as “virtual” registers. The operands

6.4.3.2
FSR Registers and POSTINC,
POSTDEC, PREINC and PLUSW
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.
These operands are:
• POSTDEC – Accesses the FSR value, then
automatically decrements it by ‘1’ afterwards
• POSTINC – Accesses the FSR value, then
automatically increments it by ‘1’ afterwards
• PREINC – Increments the FSR value by ‘1’, then
uses it in the operation
• PLUSW – Adds the signed value of the W register
(range of -127 to 128) to that of the FSR and uses
the new value in the operation
In this context, accessing an INDF register uses the
value in the FSR registers without changing them.
Similarly, accessing a PLUSW register gives the FSR
value, offset by the value in the W register – with
neither value actually changed in the operation.
Accessing the other virtual registers changes the value
of the FSR registers.
Operations on the FSRs with POSTDEC, POSTINC
and PREINC affect the entire register pair. Rollovers 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 (for example, Z, N and OV bits).
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.
DS39957D-page 106
6.4.3.3
Operations by FSRs on FSRs
Indirect Addressing operations that target other FSRs
or virtual registers represent special cases. For
example, using an FSR to point to one of the virtual
registers will not result in successful operations.
As a specific case, assume that the FSR0H:FSR0L
registers contain 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.
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.
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, however, particularly if their
code uses Indirect Addressing.
Similarly, operations by Indirect Addressing are
generally permitted on all other SFRs. Users should
exercise the appropriate caution, so that they do not
inadvertently change settings that might affect the
operation of the device.
6.5
Program Memory and the
Extended Instruction Set
The operation of program memory is unaffected by the
use of the extended instruction set.
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 6.2.4 “Two-Word Instructions”.
 2009-2011 Microchip Technology Inc.
PIC18F87K90 FAMILY
6.6
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. Using the
Access Bank for many of the core PIC18 instructions
introduces a new addressing mode for the data memory
space. This mode also alters the behavior of Indirect
Addressing using FSR2 and its associated operands.
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.
6.6.2
INSTRUCTIONS AFFECTED BY
INDEXED LITERAL OFFSET MODE
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.
Any of the core PIC18 instructions that can use Direct
Addressing are potentially affected by the Indexed
Literal Offset Addressing mode. This includes all
byte-oriented and bit-oriented instructions, or almost
one-half of the standard PIC18 instruction set. Instructions that only use Inherent or Literal Addressing
modes are unaffected.
6.6.1
Additionally, byte-oriented and bit-oriented instructions
are not affected if they do not use the Access Bank
(Access RAM bit = 1) or include a file address of 60h or
above. Instructions meeting these criteria will continue
to execute as before. A comparison of the different
possible addressing modes, when the extended
instruction set is enabled, is shown in Figure 6-9.
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 the Indexed Literal Offset mode.
When using the extended instruction set, this
addressing mode requires the following:
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 29.2.1
“Extended Instruction Syntax”.
• Use of the Access Bank (‘a’ = 0)
• A file address argument that is less than or equal
to 5Fh

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 boundary of
the addresses mapped into the window, while the
upper boundary is defined by FSR2 plus 95 (5Fh).
Addresses in the Access RAM above 5Fh are mapped
as previously described. (See Section 6.3.2 “Access
Bank”.) An example of Access Bank remapping in this
addressing mode is shown in Figure 6-10.
FIGURE 6-10:
Remapping the Access Bank applies only to operations
using the Indexed Literal Offset mode. Operations that
use the BSR (Access RAM bit = 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 continue 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.
6.6.4
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.

FLASH PROGRAM MEMORY
7.1
Table Reads and Table Writes
The Flash program memory is readable, writable and
erasable during normal operation over the entire VDD
range.
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:
A read from program memory is executed on one byte
at a time. For execution of a write to, or erasure of,
program memory:
• Table Read (TBLRD)
• Table Write (TBLWT)
• Memory of 32 Kbytes and 64 Kbytes
(PIC18FX5K90 and PIC18FX6K90 devices) –
Blocks of 64 bytes
• Memory of 128 Kbytes (PIC18FX7K90 devices) –
Blocks of 128 bytes
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.
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.
FIGURE 7-1:
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).
Table read operations retrieve data from program
memory and place it into the data RAM space.
Figure 7-1 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 7.5 “Writing
to Flash Program Memory”. Figure 7-2 shows the
operation of a table write with program memory and data
RAM.
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.

7.2
Control Registers
Several control registers are used in conjunction with
the TBLRD and TBLWT instructions. These include the:
•
•
•
•
EECON1 register
EECON2 register
TABLAT register
TBLPTR registers
7.2.1
EECON1 AND EECON2 REGISTERS
The EECON1 register (Register 7-1) is the control
register for memory accesses. The EECON2 register,
not a physical register, is used exclusively in the
memory write and erase sequences. Reading
EECON2 will read all ‘0’s.
The EEPGD control bit determines if the access is a
program or data EEPROM memory access. When
clear, any subsequent operations operate on the data
EEPROM memory. When set, any subsequent
operations operate on the program memory.
The CFGS control bit determines if the access is to the
Configuration/Calibration registers or to program
memory/data EEPROM memory. When set,
subsequent operations operate on Configuration
registers regardless of EEPGD (see Section 28.0
“Special Features of the CPU”). When clear, memory
selection access is determined by EEPGD.
DS39957D-page 112
The FREE bit, when set, allows 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.
The WREN bit, when set, allows 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.
Note:
During normal operation, the WRERR is
read as ‘1’. This can indicate that a write
operation was prematurely terminated by
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.
Note:
The EEIF interrupt flag bit (PIR6<4>) is
set when the write is complete. It must be
cleared in software.

7.2.2
TABLAT – TABLE LATCH REGISTER
7.2.4
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.
7.2.3
The TBLPTR is used in reads, writes and erases of the
Flash program memory.
When a TBLRD is executed, all 22 bits of the TBLPTR
determine which byte is read from program memory
into the TABLAT.
TBLPTR – TABLE POINTER
REGISTER
When a TBLWT is executed, the six LSbs of the Table
Pointer register (TBLPTR<5:0>) 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 16 MSbs of the TBLPTR
(TBLPTR<21:6>) determine which program memory
block of 64 bytes is written to. For more details, see
Section 7.5 “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 registers 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
16 MSbs of the Table Pointer register (TBLPTR<21:6>)
point to the 64-byte block that will be erased. The Least
Significant bits (TBLPTR<5:0>) are ignored.
The Table Pointer register, TBLPTR, is used by the
TBLRD and TBLWT instructions. These instructions can
update the TBLPTR in one of four ways, based on the
table operation. These operations are shown in
Table 7-1 and only affect the low-order 21 bits.
TABLE 7-1:

TBLPTR based on Flash program memory operations.

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.
FIGURE 7-4:
The TBLPTR points to a byte address in program
memory space. Executing TBLRD places the byte
pointed to into TABLAT. In addition, TBLPTR can be
modified automatically for the next table read
operation.
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 7-4
shows the interface between the internal program
memory and the TABLAT.

Erasing Flash Program Memory
The erase block is 32 words or 64 bytes for the
PIC18FX5K90 and PIC18FX6K90 devices, and
64 words or 128 bytes for the PIC18FX7K90 devices.
Word erase in the Flash array is not supported.
When initiating an erase sequence from the microcontroller itself, a block of 64 or 128 bytes of program
memory is erased. The Most Significant 16 bits of the
TBLPTR<21:6> point to the block being erased. The
TBLPTR<5:0> bits are ignored.
The EECON1 register commands the erase operation.
The EEPGD bit must be set to point to the Flash
program memory. The WREN bit must be set to enable
write operations. The FREE bit is set to select an erase
operation.
For protection, the write initiate sequence for EECON2
must be used.
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.

Writing to Flash Program Memory
The programming block is 32 words or 64 bytes for
PIC18FX5K90 and PIC18FX6K90 devices, and
64 words or 128 bytes for PIC18FX7K90 devices.
Word or byte programming is not supported.
Table writes are used internally to load the holding
registers needed to program the Flash memory. There
are 64 holding registers for PIC18FX5K90 and
PIC18FX6K90 devices and 128 holding registers for
PIC18FX7K90 used by the table writes for programming.
Since the Table Latch (TABLAT) is only a single byte, the
TBLWT instruction may need to be executed 64 times for
each programming operation. 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 or 128 holding registers, the EECON1 register must
be written to in order to start the programming operation
with a long write.
FIGURE 7-5:
The long write is necessary for programming the internal Flash. Instruction execution is halted while in a long
write cycle. The long write is terminated by the internal
programming timer.
The EEPROM 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.
Note: The default value of the holding registers on
device Resets, and after write operations, is
FFh. A write of FFh to a holding register does
not modify that byte. This means that individual bytes of program memory may be
modified, provided that the change does not
attempt to change any bit from a ‘0’ to a ‘1’.
When modifying individual bytes, it is not necessary to load all 64 or 128 holding registers
before executing a write operation.

An example of the required code is shown in
Example 7-3.
Note:
Before setting the WR bit, the Table
Pointer address needs to be within the
intended address range of 64 or 128 bytes
in the holding register.
Note:
Self-write execution to Flash and
EEPROM memory cannot be done while
running in LP Oscillator mode (Low-Power
mode). Therefore, executing a self-write
will put the device into High-Power mode.

7.5.4
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.
7.5.3
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 reprogrammed 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.

DATA EEPROM MEMORY
The data EEPROM is a nonvolatile memory array,
separate from the data RAM and program memory, that
is used for long-term storage of program data. The
PIC18F87K90 family of devices has a 1024-byte data
EEPROM. It is not directly mapped in either the register
file or program memory space, but is indirectly
addressed through the Special Function Registers
(SFRs). The EEPROM is readable and writable during
normal operation over the entire VDD range.
Five SFRs are used to read and write to the data
EEPROM, as well as the program memory. They are:
•
•
•
•
•
EECON1
EECON2
EEDATA
EEADR
EEADRH
The data EEPROM allows byte read and write. When
interfacing to the data memory block, EEDATA holds
the 8-bit data for read/write and the EEADRH:EEADR
register pair holds the address of the EEPROM location
being accessed.
The EEPROM data memory is rated for high erase/write
cycle endurance. A byte write automatically erases the
location and writes the new data (erase-before-write).
The write time is controlled by an on-chip timer; it will
vary with voltage and temperature, as well as from chipto-chip. Please refer to Parameter D122 (Table 31-1 in
Section 31.0 “Electrical Characteristics”) for exact
limits.
8.1
EEADR and EEADRH Registers
The EEADRH:EEADR register pair is used to address
the data EEPROM for read and write operations.
EEADRH holds the two MSbs of the address; the upper
6 bits are ignored. The 10-bit range of the pair can
address a memory range of 1024 bytes (00h to 3FFh).
8.2
EECON1 and EECON2 Registers
Access to the data EEPROM is controlled by two
registers: EECON1 and EECON2. These are the same
registers which control access to the program memory
and are used in a similar manner for the data
EEPROM.
The EECON1 register (Register 8-1) is the control
register for data and program memory access. Control
bit, EEPGD, determines if the access will be to program
memory or data EEPROM memory. When clear,
operations will access the data EEPROM memory.
When set, program memory is accessed.
Control bit, CFGS, determines if the access will be to
the Configuration registers or to program memory/data
EEPROM memory. When set, subsequent operations
access Configuration registers. When CFGS is clear,
the EEPGD bit selects either program Flash or data
EEPROM memory.
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 WREN bit is set, and cleared,
when the internal programming timer expires and the
write operation is complete.
Note:
During normal operation, the WRERR is
read as ‘1’. This can indicate that a write
operation was prematurely terminated by
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.
Note:
The EEIF interrupt flag bit (PIR6<4>) is
set when the write is complete. It must be
cleared in software.
Control bits, RD and WR, start read and erase/write
operations, respectively. These bits are set by firmware
and cleared by hardware at the completion of the
operation.
The RD bit cannot be set when accessing program
memory (EEPGD = 1). Program memory is read using
table read instructions. See Section 7.1 “Table Reads
and Table Writes” regarding table reads.
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.

8.3
Reading the Data EEPROM Memory
To read a data memory location, the user must write the
address to the EEADRH:EEADR register pair, clear the
EEPGD control bit (EECON1<7>) and then set control
bit, RD (EECON1<0>). After one cycle, the data is
available in the EEDATA register; therefore, it can be
read after one NOP instruction. EEDATA will hold this
value until another read operation, or until it is written to
by the user (during a write operation). The basic
process is shown in Example 8-1.
8.4
Writing to the Data EEPROM
Memory
To write an EEPROM data location, the address must first
be written to the EEADRH:EEADR register pair and the
data written to the EEDATA register. The sequence in
Example 8-2 must be followed to initiate the write cycle.
The write will not begin if this sequence is not exactly
followed (write 0x55 to EECON2, write 0xAA to
EECON2, then set WR bit) for each byte. It is strongly
recommended that interrupts be disabled during this
code segment.
execution (i.e., runaway programs). The WREN bit
should be kept clear at all times, except when updating
the EEPROM. The WREN bit is not cleared by hardware.
After a write sequence has been initiated, EECON1,
EEADRH:EEADR and EEDATA cannot be modified.
The WR bit will be inhibited from being set unless the
WREN bit is set. The WREN bit must be set on a
previous instruction. Both WR and WREN cannot be
set with the same instruction.
At the completion of the write cycle, the WR bit is
cleared in hardware and the EEPROM Interrupt Flag bit
(EEIF) is set. The user may either enable this interrupt,
or poll this bit. EEIF must be cleared by software.
8.5
Write Verify
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.
Note:
Additionally, the WREN bit in EECON1 must be set to
enable writes. This mechanism prevents accidental
writes to data EEPROM due to unexpected code

8.6
Operation During Code-Protect
Data EEPROM memory has its own code-protect bits in
the Configuration Words. External read and write
operations are disabled if code protection is enabled.
The microcontroller itself can both read and write to the
internal data EEPROM, regardless of the state of the
code-protect Configuration bit. Refer to Section 28.0
“Special Features of the CPU” for additional
information.
8.7
Protection Against Spurious Write
There are conditions when the device may not want to
write to the data EEPROM memory. To protect against
spurious EEPROM writes, various mechanisms have
been implemented. On power-up, the WREN bit is
cleared. In addition, writes to the EEPROM are
blocked during the Power-up Timer period (TPWRT,
Parameter 33 in Section 31.3 “DC Characteristics:
PIC18F87K90 Family (Industrial/Extended)”).
8.8
Using the Data EEPROM
The data EEPROM is a high-endurance, byte addressable array that has been optimized for the storage of
frequently changing information (e.g., program
variables or other data that are updated often).
Frequently changing values will typically be updated
more often than Specification D124. If this is the case,
an array refresh must be performed. For this reason,
variables that change infrequently (such as constants,
IDs, calibration, etc.) should be stored in Flash program
memory.
A simple data EEPROM refresh routine is shown in
Example 8-3.
Note:
If data EEPROM is only used to store
constants and/or data that changes often,
an array refresh is likely not required. See
Specification D124 in Table 31-1.
The write initiate sequence, and the WREN bit
together, help prevent an accidental write during
brown-out, power glitch or software malfunction. The
WREN bit is not cleared by hardware.

Introduction
EXAMPLE 9-1:
MOVF
MULWF
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 9-2:
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 PIC18 devices to be used in many applications
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 9-1.

PIC18F87K90 FAMILY
10.0
INTERRUPTS
Members of the PIC18F87K90 family of devices have
multiple interrupt sources and an interrupt priority
feature that allows most interrupt sources to be
assigned a high-priority level or a low-priority level. The
high-priority interrupt vector is at 0008h and the
low-priority interrupt vector is at 0018h. High-priority
interrupt events will interrupt any low-priority interrupts
that may be in progress.
The registers for controlling interrupt operation are:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
RCON
INTCON
INTCON2
INTCON3
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.
In general, interrupt sources have three bits to control
their operation. They are:
• Flag bit – Indicating that an interrupt event
occurred
• Enable bit – Enabling program execution to
branch to the interrupt vector address when the
flag bit is set
• Priority bit – Specifying 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 that 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>) and GIEH bit
(INTCON<7>) 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.
 2009-2011 Microchip Technology Inc.
When the IPEN bit is cleared (default state), the
interrupt priority feature is disabled and interrupts are
compatible with PIC® mid-range devices. In
Compatibility mode, the interrupt priority bits for each
source have no effect. INTCON<6> is the PEIE bit that
enables/disables all peripheral interrupt sources.
INTCON<7> is the GIE bit that enables/disables all
interrupt sources. All interrupts branch to address,
0008h, in Compatibility mode.
When an interrupt is responded to, the Global Interrupt
Enable bit is cleared to disable further interrupts. If the
IPEN bit is cleared, this is the GIE bit. If interrupt priority
levels are used, this will be either the GIEH or GIEL bit.
High-priority interrupt sources can interrupt a
low-priority interrupt. Low-priority interrupts are not
processed while high-priority interrupts are in progress.
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 (ISR),
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.
The “return from interrupt” instruction, RETFIE, exits
the interrupt routine and sets the GIE bit (GIEH or GIEL
if priority levels are used) that re-enables interrupts.
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.
Note:
Do not use the MOVFF instruction to
modify any of the Interrupt Control registers while any interrupt is enabled. Doing
so may cause erratic microcontroller
behavior.

INTCON Registers
Note:
The INTCON registers are readable and writable
registers that contain various enable, priority and flag
bits.
REGISTER 10-1:
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. User software should
ensure the appropriate interrupt flag bits
are clear prior to enabling an interrupt.
This feature allows for software polling.

PIR Registers
The PIR registers contain the individual flag bits for the
peripheral interrupts. Due to the number of peripheral
interrupt sources, there are six Peripheral Interrupt
Request (Flag) registers (PIR1 through PIR6).
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>).
2: User software should ensure the
appropriate interrupt flag bits are cleared
prior to enabling an interrupt and after
servicing that interrupt.

IPR Registers
The IPR registers contain the individual priority bits for
the peripheral interrupts. Due to the number of
peripheral interrupt sources, there are six Peripheral
Interrupt Priority registers (IPR1 through IPR6). Using
the priority bits requires that the Interrupt Priority
Enable (IPEN) bit (RCON<7>) be set.

INTx Pin Interrupts
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
that 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. Before re-enabling the interrupt, the flag bit
(INTxIF) must be cleared in software in the Interrupt
Service Routine.
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.
The 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.
10.7
TMR0 Interrupt
In 8-bit mode (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.
EXAMPLE 10-1:
MOVWF
MOVFF
MOVFF
;
; USER
;
MOVFF
MOVF
MOVFF
The interrupt can be enabled/disabled by setting/clearing
enable bit, TMR0IE (INTCON<5>). Interrupt priority for
Timer0 is determined by the value contained in the
interrupt priority bit, TMR0IP (INTCON2<2>). For further
details on the Timer0 module, see Section 12.0 “Timer0
Module”.
10.8
PORTB Interrupt-on-Change
An input change on PORTB<7:4> sets flag bit, RBIF
(INTCON<0>). The interrupt can be enabled/disabled
by setting/clearing enable bit, RBIE (INTCON<3>).
Interrupt priority for PORTB interrupt-on-change is
determined by the value contained in the interrupt
priority bit, RBIP (INTCON2<0>).
10.9
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 6.3 “Data Memory Organization”), the user
may need to save the WREG, STATUS and BSR registers on entry to the Interrupt Service Routine (ISR).
Depending on the user’s application, other registers
may also need to be saved.
Example 10-1 saves and restores the WREG, STATUS
and BSR registers during an Interrupt Service Routine.

I/O PORTS
11.1
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.
Each port has three memory mapped registers for its
operation:
• TRIS register (Data Direction register)
• 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.
Setting a TRIS bit (= 1) makes the corresponding port
pin an input (putting 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).
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.
A simplified model of a generic I/O port, without the
interfaces to other peripherals, is shown in Figure 11-1.
FIGURE 11-1:
GENERIC I/O PORT
OPERATION
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.
All of the digital ports are 5.5V input tolerant. The analog ports have the same tolerance, having clamping
diodes implemented internally.

PIN OUTPUT DRIVE
When used as digital I/O, the output pin drive strengths
vary, according to the pins’ grouping, to meet the needs
for a variety of applications. In general, there are two
classes of output pins, in terms of drive capability:
• Outputs designed to drive higher current loads,
such as LEDs:
- PORTA
- PORTB
- PORTC
• Outputs with lower drive levels, but capable of
driving normal digital circuit loads with a high input
impedance. Also, able to drive LEDs, but only
those with smaller current requirements:
- PORTD
- PORTE
- PORTF
- PORTG
- PORTH(†)
- PORTJ(†)
† These ports are not available in 64-pin devices.
For more details, see “Absolute Maximum Ratings” in
Section 31.0 “Electrical Characteristics”.
Regardless of its port, all output pins in LCD Segment
or common-mode have sufficient output to directly
drive a display.
11.1.2
RD LAT
I/O Port Pin Capabilities
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.
The pull-ups are enabled with a single bit for each of the
ports: RBPU (INTCON2<7>) for PORTB, and RDPU,
REPU and RJPU (PADCFG1<7:5>) for the other ports.
By setting RDPU, REPU and RJPU, each of the
pull-ups on these ports can be enabled. The pull-ups
are disabled on a POR event.

OPEN-DRAIN OUTPUTS
FIGURE 11-2:
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.
USING THE OPEN-DRAIN
OUTPUT (USART SHOWN
AS EXAMPLE)
3.3V
+5V
PIC18F67K90
The open-drain option is implemented on port pins
specifically associated with the data and clock outputs
of the USARTs, the MSSP module (in SPI mode) and
the CCP modules. This option is selectively enabled by
setting the open-drain control bits in the registers:
ODCON1, ODCON2 and ODCON3.
VDD
TXX
(at logic ‘1’)
3.3V
5V
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

it is pulled up to the higher voltage level.

ANALOG AND DIGITAL PORTS
Many of the ports multiplex analog and digital functionality, providing a lot of flexibility for hardware designers.
PIC18F87K90 family devices can make any analog pin,
analog or digital, depending on an application’s needs.
The ports’ analog/digital functionality is controlled by
the registers: ANCON0, ANCON1 and ANCON2.
DS39957D-page 156
x = Bit is unknown
Setting these registers makes the corresponding pins
analog and clearing the registers makes the ports digital. For details on these registers, see Section 23.0
“12-Bit Analog-to-Digital Converter (A/D) Module”.

11.2
PORTA, TRISA and
LATA Registers
PORTA is an 8-bit wide, bidirectional port. The corresponding Data Direction and Output Latch registers are
TRISA and LATA.
RA4/T0CKI is a Schmitt Trigger input. All other PORTA
pins have TTL input levels and full CMOS output
drivers.
The RA4 pin is multiplexed with the Timer0 clock input
and one of the LCD segment drives. RA5 and RA<3:0>
are multiplexed with analog inputs for the A/D
Converter. RA1 is multiplexed with analog as well as
the LCD segment drive.
The operation of the analog inputs as A/D Converter
inputs is selected by clearing or setting the
ANSEL<3:0> control bits in the ANCON1 register. The
corresponding TRISA bits control the direction of these
pins, even when they are being used as analog inputs.
The user must ensure the bits in the TRISA register are
maintained set when using them as analog inputs.
Note:
RA5 and RA<3:0> are configured as
analog inputs on any Reset and are read
as ‘0’. RA4 is configured as a digital input.
OSC2/CLKO/RA6 and OSC1/CLKI/RA7 normally
serve as the external circuit connections for the external (primary) oscillator circuit (HS Oscillator modes) or
the external clock input and output (EC Oscillator
modes). In these cases, RA6 and RA7 are not available
as digital I/O and their corresponding TRIS and LAT
bits are read as ‘0’. When the device is configured to
use HF-INTOSC, MF-INTOSC or LF-INTOSC as the
default oscillator mode, RA6 and RA7 are automatically
configured as digital I/O; the oscillator and clock
in/clock out functions are disabled.
RA1, RA4 and RA5 are multiplexed with LCD segment
drives that are controlled by bits in the LCDSE1 and
LCDSE2 registers. I/O port functionality is only
available when the LCD segments are disabled.
RA5 has additional functionality for Timer1 and Timer3.
It can be configured as the Timer1 clock input or the
Timer3 external clock gate input.

Set RB<3:0> as inputs

RB<7:6> as inputs
Four of the PORTB pins (RB<7:4>) have an
interrupt-on-change feature. Only pins configured as
inputs can cause this interrupt to occur. Any RB<7:4>
pin configured as an output will be excluded from the
interrupt-on-change comparison.
Comparisons with the input pins (of RB<7:4>) are
made with the old value latched on the last read of
PORTB. The “mismatch” outputs of RB<7:4> 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. To clear the interrupt in the
Interrupt Service Routine (ISR):
a)
b)
c)
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.
Any read or write of PORTB (except with the
MOVFF (ANY), PORTB instruction). This will end
the mismatch condition.
Wait one instruction cycle (such as executing a
NOP instruction).
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 after one TCY delay.
The interrupt-on-change feature is recommended for
wake-up on key depression operation and operations
where PORTB is only used for the interrupt-on-change
feature. Polling of PORTB is not recommended while
using the interrupt-on-change feature.
The RB<3:2> pins are multiplexed as CTMU edge
inputs. RB5 has an additional function for Timer3 and
Timer1. It can be configured for the Timer3 clock input
or Timer1 external clock gate input.
The RB<5:0> pins also are multiplexed with LCD segment drives that are controlled by bits in the registers,
LCDSE1 and LCDSE3. I/O port functionality is only
available when the LCD segments are disabled.

PORTC, TRISC and
LATC Registers
PORTC is an 8-bit wide, bidirectional port. The
corresponding Data Direction and Output Latch registers
are TRISC and LATC. Only PORTC pins, RC2 through
RC7, are digital only pins.
PORTC is multiplexed with ECCP, MSSP and EUSART
peripheral functions (Table 11-5). The pins have
Schmitt Trigger input buffers. The pins for ECCP, SPI
and EUSART are also configurable for open-drain output whenever these functions are active. Open-drain
configuration is selected by setting the SSP1OD,
CCPxOD and U1OD control bits in the registers,
ODCON1 and ODCON3.
RC1 is normally configured as the default peripheral
pin for the ECCP2 module. The assignment of ECCP2
is controlled by Configuration bit, CCP2MX (default
state, CCP2MX = 1).
When enabling peripheral functions, use care in defining
TRIS bits for each PORTC pin. Some peripherals can
override the TRIS bit to make a pin an output or input.
Consult the corresponding peripheral section for the
correct TRIS bit settings.
Note:
These pins are configured as digital inputs
on any device Reset.
 2009-2011 Microchip Technology Inc.
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.
The RC<7:1> pins are multiplexed with LCD segment
drives that are controlled by bits in the registers:
LCDSE1, LCDSE2, LCDSE3 and LCDSE4.
RC0 and RC1 pins serve as the input pins for the
SOSC oscillator. On a power-up, these pins are defined
as SOSC pins. In order to make these ports have digital
I/O port functionality, the CONFI1L<4:3> should be set
to ‘10’ (Digital SCLKI mode). I/O port functionality is
only available when the LCD segments are disabled.

PORTD, TRISD and
LATD Registers
PORTD is an 8-bit wide, bidirectional port. The
corresponding Data Direction and Output Latch registers
are TRISD and LATD.
All pins on PORTD are implemented with Schmitt
Trigger input buffers. Each pin is individually
configurable as an input or output.
Note:
These pins are configured as digital inputs
on any device Reset.
Each of the PORTD pins has a weak internal pull-up. A
single control bit can turn off all the pull-ups. This is
performed by clearing bit, RDPU (PADCFG1<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.
All of the PORTD pins are multiplexed with LCD
segment drives that are controlled by bits in the
LCDSE0 register. RD0 is multiplexed with the CTMU
pulse generator output.
DS39957D-page 166
I/O port functionality is only available when the LCD
segments are disabled.
The PORTD also has the I2C and SPI functionality on
RD4, RD5 and RD6. The pins for SPI are also configurable for open-drain output. Open-drain configuration is
selected by setting the SSPxOD control bits in the
ODCON1 register.
RD0 has a CTMU functionality. RD1 has the functionality
for a Timer5 clock input and also Timer7 has functionality
for an external clock gate input.

PORTE, TRISE and
LATE Registers
PORTE is an 8-bit wide, bidirectional port. The
corresponding Data Direction and Output Latch registers
are TRISE and LATE.
All pins on PORTE are implemented with Schmitt
Trigger input buffers. Each pin is individually
configurable as an input or output. The RE7 pin is also
configurable for open-drain output when ECCP2 is
active on this pin. Open-drain configuration is selected
by setting the CCP2OD control bit (ODCON1<6>)
Note:
These pins are configured as digital inputs
on any device Reset.
Pins, RE2, RE1 and RE0, are multiplexed with the
functions of LCDBIAS3, LCDBIAS2 and LCDBIAS1.
When LCD bias generation is required (in any application where the device is connected to an external LCD),
these pins cannot be used as digital I/O. These pins
can be used as digital I/O, however, when the internal
resistor ladder is used for bias generation.
PORTE is also multiplexed with the 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.
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 (PADCFG1<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.
RE7 is multiplexed with the LCD segment drive
(SEG31) that is controlled by the LCDSE3<7> bit. I/O
port function is only available when the segment is disabled. RE7 can also be configured as the alternate
peripheral pin for the ECCP2 module. This is done by
clearing the CCP2MX Configuration bit.
Pins, RE<6:3>, are multiplexed with the LCD common
drives. I/O port functions are available only on those
PORTE pins according to which commons are active.
The configuration is determined by the LMUX<1:0>
control bits (LCDCON<1:0>). The availability is
summarized in Table 11-9.
RE3 can also be configured as the Reference Clock
Output (REFO) from the system clock. For further details,
refer to Section 3.7 “Reference Clock Output”.

PORTF, LATF and TRISF Registers
PORTF is a 7-bit wide, bidirectional port. The
corresponding Data Direction and Output Latch registers
are TRISF and LATF. All pins on PORTF are
implemented with Schmitt Trigger input buffers. Each pin
is individually configurable as an input or output.
PORTF is multiplexed with analog peripheral functions,
as well as LCD segments. Pins, RF1 through RF6, may
be used as comparator inputs or outputs by setting the
appropriate bits in the CMCON register. To use
RF<7:1> as digital inputs, it is also necessary to turn off
the comparators.
Note 1: On device Resets, pins, RF<7:1>, are
configured as analog inputs and are read
as ‘0’.
2: To configure PORTF as a digital I/O, turn
off the comparators and clear ANCON1
and ANCON2 to digital.
DS39957D-page 172
PORTF is also multiplexed with LCD segment drives
controlled by bits in the LCDSE2 and LCDSE3
registers. I/O port functions are only available when the
segments are disabled.

PORTG, TRISG and
LATG Registers
PORTG is a 5-bit wide, bidirectional port. The
corresponding Data Direction and Output Latch registers
are TRISG and LATG.
PORTG is multiplexed with EUSART, LCD and
CCP/ECCP/Analog/Comparator/RTCC/Timer input functions (Table 11-14). When operating as I/O, all PORTG
pins have Schmitt Trigger input buffers. The open-drain
functionality for the CCPx and UART can be configured
using ODCONx.
RG4 is multiplexed with LCD segment drives controlled
by bits in the LCDSE2 register and as the
RG4/SEG26/RTCC/T7CKI/T5G/CCP5/AN16/P1D/C3INC
pin. The I/O port function is only available when the
segments are disabled.
The RG5 pin is multiplexed with the MCLR pin and is
available only as an input port. To configure this port for
input only, set the MCLRE pin (CONFIG3H<7>).
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.

LATJ Registers
Note:
PORTJ is available only on 80-pin devices.
PORTJ is an 8-bit wide, bidirectional port. The
corresponding Data Direction and Output Latch registers
are TRISJ and LATJ.
All pins on PORTJ are implemented with Schmitt
Trigger input buffers. Each pin is individually
configurable as an input or output.
Note:
These pins are configured as digital inputs
on any device Reset.
All PORTJ pins, except RJ0, are multiplexed with LCD
segment drives controlled by the LCDSE4 register. I/O
port functions are only available on these pins when the
segments are disabled.
DS39957D-page 180
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 (PADCFG1<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.

counter in both 8-bit or 16-bit modes
• Readable and writable registers
• Dedicated 8-bit, software programmable
prescaler
• Selectable clock source (internal or external)
• Edge select for external clock
• Interrupt-on-overflow
REGISTER 12-1:
The T0CON register (Register 12-1) controls all
aspects of the module’s operation, including the
prescale selection. It is both readable and writable.
Figure 12-1 provides a simplified block diagram of the
Timer0 module in 8-bit mode. Figure 12-2 provides a

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.
The Counter mode is selected by setting the T0CS bit
(= 1). In this mode, Timer0 increments, either on every
rising edge or falling edge, of the T0CKI pin. The
incrementing 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.
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
FIGURE 12-1:
internal phase clock (TOSC). There is a delay between
synchronization and the onset of incrementing the
timer/counter.
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
writable (see 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.
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.

12.3.1
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 T0PS<2:0> bits
(T0CON<3:0>), which determine the prescaler
assignment and prescale ratio.
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-two increments,
are selectable.
When assigned to the Timer0 module, all instructions
writing to the TMR0 register (for example, CLRF TMR0,
MOVWF TMR0, BSF TMR0) 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.

The prescaler assignment is fully under software
control and can be changed “on-the-fly” during program

12.4
Timer0 Interrupt
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 reenabling the interrupt, the TMR0IF bit must be cleared
in software by the Interrupt Service Routine (ISR).
Since Timer0 is shut down in Sleep mode, the TMR0
interrupt cannot awaken the processor from Sleep.

TIMER1 MODULE
The Timer1 timer/counter module incorporates these
features:
• Software-selectable operation as a 16-bit timer or
counter
• Readable and writable 8-bit registers (TMR1H
and TMR1L)
• Selectable clock source (internal or external) with
device clock or SOSC oscillator internal options
• Interrupt-on-overflow
• Reset on ECCP Special Event Trigger
• Timer with gated control
REGISTER 13-1:
Figure 13-1 displays a simplified block diagram of the
Timer1 module.
The SOSC oscillator can also be used as a low-power
clock source for the microcontroller in power-managed
operation. Timer1 can also work on the SOSC oscillator.
Timer1 is controlled through the T1CON Control
register (Register 13-1), which also contains the SOSC
Oscillator Enable bit (SOSCEN). Timer1 can be
enabled or disabled by setting or clearing control bit,
TMR1ON (T1CON<0>).
The FOSC clock source should not be used with the
ECCP capture/compare features. If the timer will be
used with the capture or compare features, always
select one of the other timer clocking options.

13.3.2
Timer1 Operation
The Timer1 module is an 8 or 16-bit incrementing
counter that is accessed through the TMR1H:TMR1L
register pair.
When used with an internal clock source, the module is
a timer and increments on every instruction cycle.
When used with an external clock source, the module
can be used as either a timer or counter. It increments
on every selected edge of the external source.
Timer1 is enabled by configuring the TMR1ON and
TMR1GE bits in the T1CON and T1GCON registers,
respectively.
When the external clock source is selected, the Timer1
module may work as a timer or a counter.
When enabled to count, Timer1 is incremented on the
rising edge of the external clock input, T1CKI. Either of
these external clock sources can be synchronized to the
microcontroller system clock or they can run
asynchronously.
When used as a timer with a clock oscillator, an
external, 32.768 kHz crystal can be used in conjunction
with the dedicated internal oscillator circuit.
Note:
When SOSC is selected as a Crystal mode (by
SOSCEL), the RC1/SOSCI/ECCP2/P2A/SEG32 and
RC0/SOSCO/SCLKI pins become inputs. This means
the values of TRISC<1:0> are ignored and the pins are
read as ‘0’.
13.3
Clock Source Selection
The TMR1CS<1:0> and SOSCEN bits of the T1CON
register are used to select the clock source for Timer1.
Register 13-1 displays the clock source selections.
13.3.1
EXTERNAL CLOCK SOURCE
In Counter mode, a falling edge must be
registered by the counter prior to the first
incrementing rising edge after any one or
more of the following conditions:
• Timer1 is enabled after a POR Reset
• Write to TMR1H or TMR1L
• Timer1 is disabled
• Timer1 is disabled (TMR1ON = 0)
When T1CKI is high, Timer1 is enabled
(TMR1ON = 1) when T1CKI is low.
INTERNAL CLOCK SOURCE
When the internal clock source is selected, the
TMR1H:TMR1L register pair will increment on multiples
of FOSC, as determined by the Timer1 prescaler.

Timer1 16-Bit Read/Write Mode
Timer1 can be configured for 16-bit reads and writes.
When the RD16 control bit (T1CON<1>) is set, the
address for TMR1H is mapped to a buffer register for
the high byte of Timer1. A read from TMR1L loads 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.
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 at once to both the high and low bytes of Timer1.
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.
13.5
SOSC Oscillator
An on-chip crystal oscillator circuit is incorporated
between pins, SOSCI (input) and SOSCO (amplifier
output). It is enabled by setting one of five bits: any of the
four SOSCEN bits in the TxCON registers (TxCON<3>)
or the SOSCGO bit in the OSCCON2 register
(OSCCON2<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 depicted in Figure 13-2. Table 13-2 provides
the capacitor selection for the SOSC oscillator.
The user must provide a software time delay to ensure
proper start-up of the SOSC oscillator.

components.
4: Capacitor values are for design
guidance only. Values listed would be
typical of a CL = 10 pF rated crystal
when SOSCSEL<1:0> = 11.
5: Incorrect capacitance value may result in
a frequency not meeting the crystal
manufacturer’s tolerance specification.
The SOSC crystal oscillator drive level is determined
based on the SOSCSEL<1:0> (CONFIG1L<4:3>)
Configuration bits. The High Drive Level mode,
SOSCSEL<1:0> = 11, is intended to drive a wide
variety of 32.768 kHz crystals with a variety of load
capacitance (CL) ratings.
The Low Drive Level mode is highly optimized for
extremely low-power consumption. It is not intended to
drive all types of 32.768 kHz crystals. In the Low Drive
Level mode, the crystal oscillator circuit may not work
correctly if excessively large discrete capacitors are
placed on the SOSCO and SOSCI pins. This mode is
designed to work only with discrete capacitances of
approximately 3 pF-10 pF on each pin.
Crystal manufacturers usually specify a CL (Capacitance Load) rating for their crystals. This value is
related to, but not necessarily the same as, the values
that should be used for C1 and C2 in Figure 13-2.
For more details on selecting the optimum C1 and C2
for a given crystal, see the crystal manufacture’s
applications information. The optimum value depends,
in part, on the amount of parasitic capacitance in the
circuit, which is often unknown. For that reason, it is
highly recommended that thorough testing and
validation of the oscillator be performed after values
have been selected.

USING SOSC AS A
CLOCK SOURCE
FIGURE 13-3:
The SOSC oscillator is also available as a clock source
in power-managed modes. By setting the System
Clock Select bits, SCS<1:0> (OSCCON<1:0>), to ‘01’,
the device switches to SEC_RUN mode, and both the
CPU and peripherals are clocked from the SOSC 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 4.0 “Power-Managed Modes”.

Whenever the SOSC oscillator is providing the clock
source, the SOSC System Clock Status Flag, SOSCRUN (OSCCON2<6>), is set. This can be used to
determine the controller’s current clocking mode. It can
also indicate the clock source currently being used by
the Fail-Safe Clock Monitor (FSCM).
If the Clock Monitor is enabled and the SOSC oscillator
fails while providing the clock, polling the SOCSRUN
bit will indicate whether the clock is being provided by
the SOSC oscillator or another source.
13.5.2
SOSC OSCILLATOR LAYOUT
CONSIDERATIONS
The SOSC oscillator circuit draws very little power
during operation. Due to the low-power nature of the
oscillator, it may also be sensitive to rapidly changing
signals in close proximity. This is especially true when
the oscillator is configured for extremely low-power
mode (CONFIG1L<4:3> (SOSCSEL) = 01).
The oscillator circuit, displayed in Figure 13-2, should
be located as close as possible to the microcontroller.
There should be no circuits passing within the oscillator
circuit boundaries other than VSS or VDD.
If a high-speed circuit must be located near the oscillator,
it may help to have a grounded guard ring around the
oscillator circuit. The guard, as displayed in Figure 13-3,
could be used on a single-sided PCB or in addition to a
ground plane. (Examples of a high-speed circuit include
the ECCP1 pin, in Output Compare or PWM mode, or
the primary oscillator using the OSC2 pin.)
DS39957D-page 192
RC0
RC1
RC2
Note: Not drawn to scale.
In the Low Drive Level mode, SOSCSEL<1:0> = 01, it
is critical that RC2 I/O pin signals be kept away from the
oscillator circuit. Configuring RC2 as a digital output,
and toggling it, can potentially disturb the oscillator circuit, even with a relatively good PCB layout. If possible,
either leave RC2 unused or use it as an input pin with
a slew rate limited signal source. If RC2 must be used
as a digital output, it may be necessary to use the High
Drive Level Oscillator mode (SOSCSEL<1:0> = 11)
with many PCB layouts.
Even in the High Drive Level mode, careful layout
procedures should still be followed when designing the
oscillator circuit.
In addition to dV/dt induced noise considerations, it is
important to ensure that the circuit board is clean. Even
a very small amount of conductive soldering flux
residue can cause PCB leakage currents that can
overwhelm the oscillator circuit.
13.6
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 the Timer1 Overflow 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>).

13.7
13.8.1
Resetting Timer1 Using the ECCP
Special Event Trigger
The Timer1 Gate Enable mode is enabled by setting
the TMR1GE bit of the T1GCON register. The polarity
of the Timer1 Gate Enable mode is configured using
the T1GPOL bit (T1GCON<6>).
If ECCP modules are configured to use Timer1 and to
generate a Special Event Trigger in Compare mode
(CCPxM<3:0> = 1011), this signal will reset Timer1. The
trigger from ECCP2 will also start an A/D conversion, if
the A/D module is enabled. (For more information, see
Section 19.3.4 “Special Event Trigger”.)
When Timer1 Gate Enable mode is enabled, Timer1
will increment on the rising edge of the Timer1 clock
source. When Timer1 Gate Enable mode is disabled,
no incrementing will occur and Timer1 will hold the
current count. See Figure 13-4 for timing details.
To take advantage of this feature, the module must be
configured as either a timer or a synchronous counter.
When used this way, the CCPRxH:CCPRxL register
pair effectively becomes a Period register for Timer1.
TABLE 13-3:
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.
Note:

register’s content, but not set the TMR1IF

TIMER1 GATE SOURCE
SELECTION
The Timer1 gate source can be selected from one of
four sources. Source selection is controlled by the
T1GSSx bits, T1GCON<1:0> (see Table 13-4).

13.8.2.1
T1G Pin Gate Operation
The T1G pin is one source for Timer1 gate control. It
can be used to supply an external source to the Timer1
gate circuitry.
DS39957D-page 194
13.8.2.2
Timer2 Match Gate Operation
The TMR2 register will increment until it matches the
value in the PR2 register. On the very next increment
cycle, TMR2 will be reset to 00h. When this Reset
occurs, a low-to-high pulse will automatically be generated and internally supplied to the Timer1 gate circuitry.
The pulse will remain high for one instruction cycle and
will return back to a low state until the next match.
Depending on T1GPOL, Timer1 increments differently
when TMR2 matches PR2. When T1GPOL = 1, Timer1
increments for a single instruction cycle following a
TMR2 match with PR2. When T1GPOL = 0, Timer1
increments continuously, except for the cycle following
the match, when the gate signal goes from low-to-high.
13.8.2.3
Comparator 1 Output Gate Operation
The output of Comparator 1 can be internally supplied
to the Timer1 gate circuitry. After setting up
Comparator 1 with the CM1CON register, Timer1 will
increment depending on the transition of the
CMP1OUT (CMSTAT<5>) bit.
13.8.2.4
Comparator 2 Output Gate Operation
The output of Comparator 2 can be internally supplied
to the Timer1 gate circuitry. After setting up
Comparator 2 with the CM2CON register, Timer1 will
increment depending on the transition of the
CMP2OUT (CMSTAT<6>) bit.

13.8.3
TIMER1 GATE TOGGLE MODE
When Timer1 Gate Toggle mode is enabled, it is
possible to measure the full cycle length of a Timer1
gate signal, as opposed to the duration of a single level
pulse.
The Timer1 gate source is routed through a flip-flop that
changes state on every incrementing edge of the
signal. (For timing details, see Figure 13-5.)
FIGURE 13-5:
The T1GVAL bit (T1GCON<2>) indicates when the
Toggled mode is active and the timer is counting.
The Timer1 Gate Toggle mode is enabled by setting the
T1GTM bit (T1GCON<5>). When T1GTM is cleared,
the flip-flop is cleared and held clear. This is necessary
in order to control which edge is measured.

TIMER1 GATE SINGLE PULSE
MODE
When Timer1 Gate Single Pulse mode is enabled, it is
possible to capture a single pulse gate event. Timer1
Gate Single Pulse mode is enabled by setting the
T1GSPM bit (T1GCON<4>) and the T1GGO/T1DONE
bit (T1GCON<3>). The Timer1 will be fully enabled on
the next incrementing edge.
On the next trailing edge of the pulse, the T1GGO/
T1DONE bit will automatically be cleared. No other
gate events will be allowed to increment Timer1 until
the T1GGO/T1DONE bit is once again set in software.
FIGURE 13-6:
Clearing the T1GSPM bit of the T1GCON register will
also clear the T1GGO/T1DONE bit. (For timing details,
see Figure 13-6.)
Simultaneously enabling the Toggle and Single Pulse
modes will permit both sections to work together. This
allows the cycle times on the Timer1 gate source to be
measured. (For timing details, see Figure 13-7.)
13.8.5
TIMER1 GATE VALUE STATUS
When the Timer1 gate value status is utilized, it is
possible to read the most current level of the gate
control value. The value is stored in the T1GVAL bit
(T1GCON<2>). This bit is valid even when the Timer1
gate is not enabled (TMR1GE bit is cleared).

TIMER2 MODULE
The Timer2 module incorporates the following features:
• 8-bit Timer and Period registers (TMR2 and PR2,
respectively)
• Both registers are readable and writable
• 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
This module is controlled through the T2CON register
(Register 14-1) that 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.
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 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:
• A write to the TMR2 register
• A write to the T2CON register
• Any device Reset (Power-on Reset (POR), MCLR
Reset, Watchdog Timer Reset (WDTR) or
Brown-out Reset [BOR])
TMR2 is not cleared when T2CON is written.
Note:
A simplified block diagram of the module is shown in
Figure 14-1.
14.1
Timer2 Operation
In normal operation, TMR2 is incremented from 00h on
each clock (FOSC/4). A 4-bit counter/prescaler on the
clock input gives the prescale options of direct input,
divide-by-4 or divide-by-16. These are selected by the
prescaler control bits, T2CKPS<1:0> (T2CON<1:0>).
REGISTER 14-1:
The CCP and ECCP modules use Timers,
1 through 8, for some modes. The assignment of a particular timer to a CCP/ECCP
module is determined by the Timer to CCP
enable bits in the CCPTMRSx registers.
For more details, see Register 18-2,
Register 18-3 and Register 19-2.

Timer2 Interrupt
14.3
Timer2 can also generate an optional device interrupt.
The Timer2 output signal (TMR2 to PR2 match) provides the input for the 4-bit output counter/postscaler.
This counter generates the TMR2 match interrupt flag,
which is latched in TMR2IF (PIR1<1>). The interrupt is
enabled by setting the TMR2 Match Interrupt Enable
bit, TMR2IE (PIE1<1>).
Timer2 Output
The unscaled output of TMR2 is available primarily to
the ECCP modules, where it is used as a time base for
operations in PWM mode.
Timer2 can optionally be used as the shift clock source
for the MSSP modules operating in SPI mode.
Additional information is provided in Section 21.0
“Master Synchronous Serial Port (MSSP) Module”.
A range of 16 postscaler options (from 1:1 through 1:16
inclusive) can be selected with the postscaler control
bits, T2OUTPS<3:0> (T2CON<6:3>).

TIMER3/5/7 MODULES
The Timer3/5/7 timer/counter modules incorporate
these features:
• Software-selectable operation as a 16-bit timer or
counter
• Readable and writable 8-bit registers (TMRxH
and TMRxL)
• Selectable clock source (internal or external) with
device clock or SOSC oscillator internal options
• Interrupt-on-overflow
• Module Reset on ECCP Special Event Trigger
A simplified block diagram of the Timer3/5/7 module is
shown in Figure 15-1.
The Timer3/5/7 module is controlled through the
TxCON register (Register 15-1). It also selects the
clock source options for the ECCP modules. (For more
information, see Section 19.1.1 “ECCP Module and
Timer Resources”.)
The FOSC clock source should not be used with the
ECCP capture/compare features. If the timer will be
used with the capture or compare features, always
select one of the other timer clocking options.
Timer7 is unimplemented for devices with a program
memory of 32 Kbytes (PIC18FX5K90).
Note: Throughout this section, generic references
are used for register and bit names that are the
same, except for an ‘x’ variable that indicates
the item’s association with the Timer3, Timer5
or Timer7 module. For example, the control
register is named TxCON and refers to
T3CON, T5CON and T7CON.

The operating mode is determined by the clock select
bits, TMRxCSx (TxCON<7:6>). When the TMRxCSx bits
are cleared (= 00), Timer3/5/7 increments on every internal instruction cycle (FOSC/4). When TMRxCSx = 01, the
Timer3/5/7 clock source is the system clock (FOSC), and
when it is ‘10’, Timer3/5/7 works as a counter from the
external clock on the TxCKI pin (on the rising edge after
the first falling edge) or the SOSC oscillator.

Timer3/5/7 16-Bit Read/Write Mode
15.5
Timer3/5/7 can be configured for 16-bit reads and
writes (see Figure 15.3). When the RD16 control bit
(TxCON<1>) is set, the address for TMRxH is mapped
to a buffer register for the high byte of Timer3/5/7. A
read from TMRxL will load the contents of the high byte
of Timer3/5/7 into the Timerx High Byte Buffer register.
This provides users with the ability to accurately read
all 16 bits of Timer3/5/7 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.
Timer3/5/7 can be configured to count freely or the
count can be enabled and disabled using the Timer3/
5/7 gate circuitry. This is also referred to as the
Timer3/5/7 gate count enable.
The Timer3/5/7 gate can also be driven by multiple
selectable sources.
15.5.1
TIMER3/5/7 GATE COUNT ENABLE
The Timerx Gate Enable mode is enabled by setting
the TMRxGE bit (TxGCON<7>). The polarity of the
Timerx Gate Enable mode is configured using the
TxGPOL bit (TxGCON<6>).
A write to the high byte of Timer3/5/7 must also take
place through the TMRxH Buffer register. The Timer3/
5/7 high byte is updated with the contents of TMRxH
when a write occurs to TMRxL. This allows users to
write all 16 bits to both the high and low bytes of
Timer3/5/7 at once.
When Timerx Gate Enable mode is enabled, Timer3/5/7
will increment on the rising edge of the Timer3/5/7 clock
source. When Timerx Gate Enable mode is disabled, no
incrementing will occur and Timer3/5/7 will hold the
current count. See Figure 15-2 for timing details.
The high byte of Timer3/5/7 is not directly readable or
writable in this mode. All reads and writes must take
place through the Timerx High Byte Buffer register.
TABLE 15-1:
Writes to TMRxH do not clear the Timer3/5/7 prescaler.
The prescaler is only cleared on writes to TMRxL.

Timer3/5/7 Gates
Using the SOSC Oscillator as the
Timer3/5/7 Clock Source
The SOSC internal oscillator may be used as the clock
source for Timer3/5/7. The SOSC oscillator is enabled by
setting one of five bits: any of the four SOSCEN bits in the
TxCON registers (TxCON<3>) or the SOSCGO bit in the
OSCCON2 register (OSCCON2<3>). To use it as the
Timer3/5/7 clock source, the TMRxCS bit must also be
set. As previously noted, this also configures Timer3/5/7
to increment on every rising edge of the oscillator source.

TIMER3/5/7 GATE SOURCE
SELECTION
The Timer3/5/7 gate source can be selected from one
of four different sources. Source selection is controlled
by the TxGSS<1:0> bits (TxGCON<1:0>). The polarity
for each available source is also selectable and is
controlled by the TxGPOL bit (TxGCON <6>).

TxG Pin Gate Operation
The TxG pin is one source for Timer3/5/7 gate control.
It can be used to supply an external source to the
Timerx gate circuitry.
15.5.2.2
Timer4/6/8 Match Gate Operation
The Timer4/6/8 register will increment until it matches
the value in the PRx register. On the very next increment
cycle, TMRx will be reset to 00h. When this Reset
occurs, a low-to-high pulse will automatically be generated and internally supplied to the Timerx gate circuitry.
The pulse will remain high for one instruction cycle and
will return back to a low state until the next match.
FIGURE 15-3:
Depending on TxGPOL, Timerx increments differently
when TMR(x + 1) matches PR(x + 1). When
TxGPOL = 1, Timerx increments for a single instruction
cycle following a TMR(x + 1) match with PR(x + 1).
When TxGPOL = 0, Timerx increments continuously
except for the cycle following the match when the gate
signal goes from low-to-high.
15.5.2.3
Comparator 1 Output Gate Operation
The output of Comparator 1 can be internally supplied
to the Timerx gate circuitry. After setting up
Comparator 1 with the CM1CON register, Timerx will
increment depending on the transitions of the
CMP1OUT (CMSTAT<5>) bit.
15.5.2.4
Comparator 2 Output Gate Operation
The output of Comparator 2 can be internally supplied
to the Timerx gate circuitry. After setting up
Comparator 2 with the CM2CON register, Timerx will
increment depending on the transitions of the
CMP2OUT (CMSTAT<6>) bit.
15.5.3
TIMER3/5/7 GATE TOGGLE MODE
When Timer3/5/7 Gate Toggle mode is enabled, it is
possible to measure the full cycle length of a Timer3/5/
7 gate signal, as opposed to the duration of a single
level pulse.
The Timerx gate source is routed through a flip-flop that
changes state on every incrementing edge of the
signal. (For timing details, see Figure 15-3.)
The TxGVAL bit will indicate when the Toggled mode is
active and the timer is counting.
Timer3/5/7 Gate Toggle mode is enabled by setting the
TxGTM bit (TxGCON<5>). When the TxGTM bit is
cleared, the flip-flop is cleared and held clear. This is
necessary in order to control which edge is measured.

TIMER3/5/7 GATE SINGLE PULSE
MODE
No other gate events will be allowed to increment
Timer3/5/7 until the TxGGO/TxDONE bit is once again
set in software.
When Timer3/5/7 Gate Single Pulse mode is enabled,
it is possible to capture a single pulse gate event.
Timer3/5/7 Gate Single Pulse mode is first enabled by
setting the TxGSPM bit (TxGCON<4>). Next, the
TxGGO/TxDONE bit (TxGCON<3>) must be set.
Clearing the TxGSPM bit also will clear the TxGGO/
TxDONE bit. (For timing details, see Figure 15-4.)
Simultaneously enabling the Toggle mode and the
Single Pulse mode will permit both sections to work
together. This allows the cycle times on the Timer3/5/7
gate source to be measured. (For timing details, see
Figure 15-5.)
The Timer3/5/7 will be fully enabled on the next incrementing edge. On the next trailing edge of the pulse,
the TxGGO/TxDONE bit will automatically be cleared.

TIMER3/5/7 GATE EVENT
INTERRUPT
When the Timer3/5/7 gate event interrupt is enabled, it
is possible to generate an interrupt upon the completion of a gate event. When the falling edge of TxGVAL
occurs, the TMRxGIF flag bit in the PIRx register will be
set. If the TMRxGIE bit in the PIEx register is set, then
an interrupt will be recognized.
The TMRxGIF flag bit operates even when the Timer3/
5/7 gate is not enabled (TMRxGE bit is cleared).

Timer3/5/7 Interrupt
The TMRx register pair (TMRxH:TMRxL) increments
from 0000h to FFFFh and overflows to 0000h. The
Timerx interrupt, if enabled, is generated on overflow
and is latched in the interrupt flag bit, TMRxIF.

Resetting Timer3/5/7 Using the
ECCP Special Event Trigger
If the ECCP modules are configured to use Timerx and
to generate a Special Event Trigger in Compare mode
(CCPxM<3:0> = 1011), this signal will reset Timerx. The
trigger from ECCP2 will also start an A/D conversion if
the A/D module is enabled. (For more information, see
Section 19.3.4 “Special Event Trigger”.)
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 Timerx.
If Timerx is running in Asynchronous Counter mode,
the Reset operation may not work.
In the event that a write to Timerx coincides with a
Special Event Trigger from an ECCP module, the write
will take precedence.
Note:
The Special Event Triggers from the
ECCPx module will only clear the TMR3
register’s content, but not set the TMR3IF
interrupt flag bit (PIR1<0>).
Note:
The CCP and ECCP modules use Timers,
1 through 8, for some modes. The assignment of a particular timer to a CCP/ECCP
module is determined by the Timer to CCP
enable bits in the CCPTMRSx registers.
For more details, see Register 19-2,
Register 18-2 and Register 18-3.

TIMER4/6/8/10/12 MODULES
The Timer4/6/8/10/12 timer modules have the following
features:
•
•
•
•
•
•
8-Bit Timer register (TMRx)
8-Bit Period register (PRx)
Readable and writable (all registers)
Software programmable prescaler (1:1, 1:4, 1:16)
Software programmable postscaler (1:1 to 1:16)
Interrupt on TMRx match of PRx
Timer10 and Timer12 are unimplemented for devices
with a program memory of 32 Kbytes (PIC18FX5K90).
Note: Throughout this section, generic references
are used for register and bit names that are the
same, except for an ‘x’ variable that indicates
the item’s association with the Timer4, Timer6,
Timer8, Timer10 or Timer12 module. For
example, the control register is named TxCON
and refers to T4CON, T6CON, T8CON,
T10CON and T12CON.
The Timer4/6/8/10/12 modules have a control register,
which is shown in Register 16-1. Timer4/6/8/10/12 can
be shut off by clearing control bit, TMRxON (TxCON<2>),
to minimize power consumption. The prescaler and postscaler selection of Timer4/6/8/10/12 are also controlled
by this register. Figure 16-1 is a simplified block diagram
of the Timer4/6/8/10/12 modules.
16.1
Timer4/6/8/10/12 Operation
Timer4/6/8/10/12 can be used as the PWM time base
for the PWM mode of the ECCP modules. The TMRx
registers are readable and writable, and are 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, TxCKPS<1:0> (TxCON<1:0>). The match output
of TMRx goes through a 4-bit postscaler (that gives a
1:1 to 1:16 inclusive scaling) to generate a TMRx
interrupt, latched in the flag bit, TMRxIF. Table 16-1
shows each module’s flag bit.

BCD format for compact firmware
Optimized for low-power operation
User calibration with auto-adjust
Calibration range: 2.64 seconds error per month
Requirements: external 32.768 kHz clock crystal
Alarm pulse or seconds clock output on RTCC pin
FIGURE 17-1:
The RTCC module is intended for applications where
accurate time must be maintained for an extended
period with minimum to no intervention from the CPU.
The module is optimized for low-power usage in order
to provide extended battery life while keeping track of
time.
The module is a 100-year clock and calendar with automatic leap year detection. The range of the clock is
from 00:00:00 (midnight) on January 1, 2000 to
23:59:59 on December 31, 2099.
Hours are measured in 24-hour (military time) format.
The clock provides a granularity of one second with
half-second visibility to the user.

RTCEN BIT WRITE
17.2
RTCWREN (RTCCFG<5>) must be set before a write
to RTCEN can take place. Any write to the RTCEN bit,
while RTCWREN = 0, will be ignored.
Like the RTCEN bit, the RTCVALH and RTCVALL
registers can only be written to when RTCWREN = 1.
A write to these registers, while RTCWREN = 0, will be
ignored.
FIGURE 17-2:
FIGURE 17-3:
The register interface for the RTCC and alarm values is
implemented using the Binary Coded Decimal (BCD)
format. This simplifies the firmware when using the
module as each of the digits is contained within its own
4-bit value (see Figure 17-2 and Figure 17-3).

CLOCK SOURCE
As previously mentioned, the RTCC module is intended
to be clocked by an external Real-Time Clock (RTC)
crystal oscillating at 32.768 kHz, but an internal oscillator
can be used. The RTCC clock selection is decided by
the RTCOSC bit (CONFIG3L<0>).
FIGURE 17-4:
Calibration of the crystal can be done through this
module to yield an error of 3 seconds or less per month.
(For further details, see Section 17.2.9 “Calibration”.)

DIGIT CARRY RULES
This section explains which timer values are affected
when there is a rollover:
• Time of Day: From 23:59:59 to 00:00:00 with a
carry to the Day field
• Month: From 12/31 to 01/01 with a carry to the
Year field
• Day of Week: From 6 to 0 with no carry (see
Table 17-1)
• Year Carry: From 99 to 00; this also surpasses the
use of the RTCC
DAY OF WEEK SCHEDULE
Day of Week
If the external clock is used, the SOSC oscillator should
be enabled via the SOSCGO bit (OSCCON2<3>). If
LF-INTOSC is providing the clock, the INTOSC clock
can be brought out to the RTCC pin by the RTSECSEL<1:0> bits (PADCFG<2:1>).

17.2.4
LEAP YEAR
Since the year range on the RTCC module is 2000 to
2099, the leap year calculation is determined by any year
divisible by four in the above range. Only February is
affected in a leap year.
February will have 29 days in a leap year and 28 days in
any other year.
17.2.5
GENERAL FUNCTIONALITY
All Timer registers containing a time value of seconds or
greater are writable. The user configures the time by
writing the required year, month, day, hour, minutes and
seconds to the Timer registers, via Register Pointers.
(See Section 17.2.8 “Register Mapping”.)
The timer uses the newly written values and proceeds
with the count from the required starting point.
The RTCC is enabled by setting the RTCEN bit
(RTCCFG<7>). If enabled, while adjusting these registers, the timer still continues to increment. However, any
time the MINSEC register is written to, both of the timer
prescalers are reset to ‘0’. This allows fraction of a
second synchronization.
The Timer registers are updated in the same cycle as
the write instruction’s execution by the CPU. The user
must ensure that when RTCEN = 1, the updated
registers will not be incremented at the same time. This
can be accomplished in several ways:
• By checking the RTCSYNC bit (RTCCFG<4>)
• By checking the preceding digits from which a
carry can occur
• By updating the registers immediately following
the seconds pulse (or an alarm interrupt)
The user has visibility to the half-second field of the
counter. This value is read-only and can be reset only
by writing to the lower half of the SECONDS register.
17.2.6
SAFETY WINDOW FOR REGISTER
READS AND WRITES
The RTCSYNC bit indicates a time window during
which the RTCC Clock Domain registers can be safely
read and written without concern about a rollover.
When RTCSYNC = 0, the registers can be safely
accessed by the CPU.
Whether RTCSYNC = 1 or 0, the user should employ a
firmware solution to ensure that the data read did not
fall on a rollover boundary, resulting in an invalid or
partial read. This firmware solution would consist of
reading each register twice and then comparing the two
values. If the two values matched, then a rollover did
not occur.
 2009-2011 Microchip Technology Inc.
17.2.7
WRITE LOCK
In order to perform a write to any of the RTCC Timer
registers, the RTCWREN bit (RTCCFG<5>) must be set.
To avoid accidental writes to the RTCC Timer register,
it is recommended that the RTCWREN bit
(RTCCFG<5>) be kept clear when not writing to the
register. For the RTCWREN bit to be set, there is only
one instruction cycle time window allowed between the
55h/AA sequence and the setting of RTCWREN. For
that reason, it is recommended that users follow the
code example in Example 17-1.

REGISTER MAPPING
To limit the register interface, the RTCC Timer and
Alarm Timer registers are accessed through
corresponding Register Pointers. The RTCC Value
register window (RTCVALH and RTCVALL) uses the
RTCPTRx bits (RTCCFG<1:0>) to select the required
Timer register pair.
By reading or writing to the RTCVALH register, the
RTCC Pointer value (RTCPTR<1:0>) decrements by ‘1’
until it reaches ‘00’. When ‘00’ is reached, the
MINUTES and SECONDS value is accessible through
RTCVALH and RTCVALL until the pointer value is
manually changed.

The Alarm Value register windows (ALRMVALH and

to select the desired alarm register pair.
By reading or writing to the ALRMVALH register, the
Alarm Pointer value, ALRMPTR<1:0>, decrements by
one until it reaches ‘00’. When it reaches ‘00’, the
ALRMMIN and ALRMSEC value is accessible through
ALRMVALH and ALRMVALL until the pointer value is
manually changed.

Writes to the RTCCAL register should occur only when
the timer is turned off or immediately after the rising
edge of the seconds pulse.

17.2.9
CALIBRATION
The real-time crystal input can be calibrated using the
periodic auto-adjust feature. When properly calibrated,
the RTCC can provide an error of less than three
seconds per month.
To perform this calibration, find the number of error
clock pulses and store the value into the lower half of
the RTCCAL register. The 8-bit, signed value, loaded
into RTCCAL, is multiplied by four and will be either
added or subtracted from the RTCC timer, once every
minute.
To calibrate the RTCC module:
1.
2.
Use another timer resource on the device to find
the error of the 32.768 kHz crystal.
Convert the number of error clock pulses per
minute (see Equation 17-1).
EQUATION 17-1:
CONVERTING ERROR
CLOCK PULSES
(Ideal Frequency (32,758) – Measured Frequency) * 60 =
Error Clocks per Minute
3.
• If the oscillator is faster than ideal (negative
result from Step 2), the RCFGCALL register
value needs to be negative. This causes the
specified number of clock pulses to be
subtracted from the timer counter, once every
minute.
• If the oscillator is slower than ideal (positive
result from Step 2), the RCFGCALL register
value needs to be positive. This causes the
specified number of clock pulses to be added to
the timer counter, once every minute.
Load the RTCCAL register with the correct
value.
DS39957D-page 232
• Configurable from half a second to one year
• Enabled using the ALRMEN bit (ALRMCFG<7>,
Register 17-4)
• Offers one-time and repeat alarm options
17.3.1
CONFIGURING THE ALARM
The alarm feature is enabled using the ALRMEN bit.
This bit is cleared when an alarm is issued. The bit will
not be cleared if the CHIME bit = 1 or if ALRMRPT  0.
The interval selection of the alarm is configured
through the ALRMCFG bits (AMASK<3:0>) (see
Figure 17-5). These bits determine which, and how
many, digits of the alarm must match the clock value for
the alarm to occur.
The alarm can also be configured to repeat based on a
preconfigured interval. The number of times this
occurs, after the alarm is enabled, is stored in the
ALRMRPT register.
Note:
While the alarm is enabled (ALRMEN = 1),
changing any of the registers, other than
the RTCCAL, ALRMCFG and ALRMRPT
registers and the CHIME bit, can result in a
false alarm event leading to a false alarm
interrupt. To avoid this, only change the
timer and alarm values while the alarm is
disabled (ALRMEN = 0). It is recommended
that the ALRMCFG and ALRMRPT registers and CHIME bit be changed when
RTCSYNC = 0.

Annually, except when configured for February 29.
When ALRMCFG = 00 and the CHIME bit = 0
(ALRMCFG<6>), the repeat function is disabled and
only a single alarm will occur. The alarm can be
repeated up to 255 times by loading the ALRMRPT
register with FFh.
After each alarm is issued, the ALRMRPT register is
decremented by one. Once the register has reached
‘00’, the alarm will be issued one last time.
After the alarm is issued a last time, the ALRMEN bit is
cleared automatically and the alarm is turned off. Indefinite repetition of the alarm can occur if the CHIME bit = 1.
When CHIME = 1, the alarm is not disabled when the
ALRMRPT register reaches ‘00’, but it rolls over to FF
and continues counting indefinitely.
17.3.2
ALARM INTERRUPT
At every alarm event, an interrupt is generated.
Additionally, an alarm pulse output is provided that
operates at half the frequency of the alarm.
The alarm pulse output is completely synchronous with
the RTCC clock and can be used as a trigger clock to
other peripherals. This output is available on the RTCC
pin. The output pulse is a clock with a 50% duty cycle
and a frequency half that of the alarm event (see
Figure 17-6).
The RTCC pin also can output the seconds clock. The
user can select between the alarm pulse, generated by
the RTCC module, or the seconds clock output.
The RTSECSEL<1:0> bits (PADCFG1<2:1>) select
between these two outputs:
• Alarm pulse – RTSECSEL<1:0> = 00
• Seconds clock – RTSECSEL<1:0> = 01

to the SECONDS register. No device Reset can affect
the prescalers.
DEVICE RESET
When a device Reset occurs, the ALRMRPT register is
forced to its Reset state, causing the alarm to be
disabled (if enabled prior to the Reset). If the RTCC
was enabled, it will continue to operate when a basic
device Reset occurs.

CAPTURE/COMPARE/PWM
(CCP) MODULES
PIC18F87K90 family devices have seven CCP
(Capture/Compare/PWM) modules, designated CCP4
through CCP10. All the modules implement standard
Capture, Compare and Pulse-Width Modulation
(PWM) modes.
Note:
Each CCP module contains a 16-bit register that 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 operation in the
following sections is described with respect to CCP4,
but is equally applicable to CCP5 through CCP10.
Note:
Throughout this section, generic references
are used for register and bit names that are
the same, except for an ‘x’ variable that
indicates the item’s association with the
specific CCP module. For example, the
control register is named CCPxCON and
refers to CCP4CON through CCP10CON.

and CCPRxH (high byte). All registers are both
readable and writable.

The assignment of a particular timer to a module is
determined by the Timer to CCP enable bits in the
CCPTMRSx registers (see Register 18-2 and
Register 18-3). All of the modules may be active at
once and may share the same timer resource if they
are configured to operate in the same mode
(Capture/Compare or PWM) at the same time.
CCP MODULES AND TIMER
RESOURCES
The CCP modules utilize Timers, 1 through 8, which
varies with the selected mode. Various timers are available to the CCP modules in Capture, Compare or PWM
modes, as shown in Table 18-1.
The CCPTMRS1 register selects the timers for CCP
modules, 7, 6, 5 and 4, and the CCPTMRS2 register
selects the timers for CCP modules, 10, 9 and 8. The
possible configurations are shown in Table 18-2 and
Table 18-3.

18.1.2
OPEN-DRAIN OUTPUT OPTION
When operating in Output mode (the Compare or PWM
modes), the drivers for the CCPx 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.
The open-drain output option is controlled by the
CCPxOD bits (ODCON2<7:2>). Setting the appropriate
bit configures the pin for the corresponding module for
open-drain operation.
18.1.3
PIN ASSIGNMENT FOR CCP6,
CCP7, CCP8 AND CCP9
The pin assignment for CCP6/7/8/9 (Capture input,
Compare and PWM output) can change, based on the
device configuration.
The ECCPMX Configuration bit (CONFIG3H<1>)
determines the pin to which CCP6/7/8/9 is multiplexed.
The pin assignments for these CCP modules are given
in Table 18-4.
TABLE 18-4:
ECCPMX
Value
CCP PIN ASSIGNMENT
18.2
In Capture mode, the CCPR4H:CCPR4L register pair
captures the 16-bit value of the TMR1 or TMR3 register
when an event occurs on the CCP4 pins. An event is
defined as one of the following:
•
•
•
•
Every falling edge
Every rising edge
Every 4th rising edge
Every 16th rising edge
The event is selected by the mode select bits,
CCP4M<3:0> (CCP4CON<3:0>). When a capture is
made, the interrupt request flag bit, CCP4IF (PIR4<1>),
is set. (It must be cleared in software.) If another
capture occurs before the value in CCPR4 is read, the
old captured value is overwritten by the new captured
value.
Figure 18-1 shows the Capture mode block diagram.

TIMER1/3/5/7 MODE SELECTION
For the available timers (1/3/5/7) to be used for the capture feature, the used timers must be running in Timer
mode or Synchronized Counter mode. In Asynchronous
Counter mode, the capture operation may not work.
The timer to be used with each CCP module is selected
in the CCPTMRSx registers. (See Section 18.1.1 “CCP
Modules and Timer Resources”.)
Details of the timer assignments for the CCP modules
are given in Table 18-2 and Table 18-3.

SOFTWARE INTERRUPT
When the Capture mode is changed, a false capture
interrupt may be generated. The user should keep the
CCP4IE bit (PIE4<1>) clear to avoid false interrupts
and should clear the flag bit, CCP4IF, following any
such change in operating mode.
18.2.4
TMR1H
CCP PRESCALER
There are four prescaler settings in Capture mode.
They are specified as part of the operating mode
selected by the mode select bits (CCP4M<3:0>).
Whenever the CCP module is turned off, or the CCP
module is not in Capture mode, the prescaler counter
is cleared. This means that any Reset will clear the
prescaler counter.
 2009-2011 Microchip Technology Inc.
Switching from one capture prescaler to another may
generate an interrupt. Doing that also will not clear the
prescaler counter – meaning the first capture may be
from a non-zero prescaler.
Example 18-1 shows the recommended method for
switching between capture prescalers. This example
also clears the prescaler counter and will not generate
the “false” interrupt.

18.3.1
CCP PIN CONFIGURATION
The user must configure the CCPx pin as an output by
clearing the appropriate TRIS bit.
Note:
18.3.2
Clearing the CCP4CON register will force
the RC1 or RE7 compare output latch
(depending on device configuration) to the
default low level. This is not the PORTC or
PORTE I/O data latch.
TIMER1/3/5/7 MODE SELECTION
SPECIAL EVENT TRIGGER
Both CCP modules are equipped with a Special Event
Trigger. This is an internal hardware signal generated
in Compare mode to trigger actions by other modules.
The Special Event Trigger is enabled by selecting
the Compare Special Event Trigger mode
(CCP4M<3:0> = 1011).
For either CCP module, the Special Event Trigger resets
the timer register pair for whichever timer resource is
currently assigned as the module’s time base. This
allows the CCPRx registers to serve as a programmable
Period register for either timer.
The Special Event Trigger for CCP4 cannot start an
A/D conversion.
Note:
The Special Event Trigger of ECCP1 can
start an A/D conversion, but the A/D
Converter needs to be enabled. For
more information, see Section 19.0
“Enhanced
Capture/Compare/PWM
(ECCP) Module”.
If the CCP module is using the compare feature in
conjunction with any of the Timer1/3/5/7 timers, the timers must be running in Timer mode or Synchronized
Counter mode. In Asynchronous Counter mode, the
compare operation may not work.
Note:
Details of the timer assignments for the
CCP modules are given in Table 18-2 and
Table 18-3.

PWM Mode
In Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) mode, the CCP4 pin
produces up to a 10-bit resolution PWM output. Since
the CCP4 pin is multiplexed with a PORTC or PORTE
data latch, the appropriate TRIS bit must be cleared to
make the CCP4 pin an output.
Note:
Clearing the CCP4CON register will force
the RC1 or RE7 output latch (depending
on device configuration) to the default low
level. This is not the PORTC or PORTE
I/O data latch.

A PWM output (Figure 18-4) has a time base (period)
and a time that the output stays high (duty cycle). The
frequency of the PWM is the inverse of the period
(1/period).
FIGURE 18-4:
PWM OUTPUT
Period
Duty Cycle
TMR2 = PR2
PWM PERIOD
The PWM period is specified by writing to the PR2
register. The PWM period can be calculated using the
following formula:
EQUATION 18-1:
PWM Period = [(PR2) + 1] • 4 • TOSC •
(TMR2 Prescale Value)
CCPR4L and CCP4CON<5:4> can be written to at any
time, but the duty cycle value is not latched into
CCPR4H until after a match between PR2 and TMR2
occurs (that is, the period is complete). In PWM mode,
CCPR4H is a read-only register.
The CCPR4H register and a 2-bit internal latch are
used to double-buffer the PWM duty cycle. This
double-buffering is essential for glitchless PWM
operation.
When the CCPR4H and 2-bit latch match TMR2,
concatenated with an internal 2-bit Q clock or two bits
of the TMR2 prescaler, the CCP4 pin is cleared.
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
• The CCP4 pin is set
(An exception: If PWM duty cycle = 0%, the CCP4
pin will not be set)
• The PWM duty cycle is latched from CCPR4L into
CCPR4H
The maximum PWM resolution (bits) for a given PWM
frequency is given by Equation 18-3:
EQUATION 18-3:
F OSC
log  ---------------
 F PWM
PWM Resolution (max) = -----------------------------bits
log  2 
The
Timer2
postscalers
(see
Section 14.0 “Timer2 Module”) are not
used in the determination of the PWM
frequency. The postscaler could be used
to have a servo update rate at a different
frequency than the PWM output.
TABLE 18-6:
The PWM duty cycle is specified by writing to the
CCPR4L register (using CCP4 as an example) and to
the CCP4CON<5:4> bits. Up to 10-bit resolution is available. The CCPR4L contains the eight MSbs and the
CCP4CON<5:4> bits contain the two LSbs. This 10-bit
value is represented by CCPR4L:CCP4CON<5:4>. The
following equation is used to calculate the PWM duty
cycle in time:
PWM Duty Cycle = (CCPR4L:CCP4CON<5:4>) •

ENHANCED
CAPTURE/COMPARE/PWM
(ECCP) MODULE
PIC18F87K90 family devices have three Enhanced
Capture/Compare/PWM (ECCP) modules: ECCP1,
ECCP2 and ECCP3. These modules contain 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. These ECCP modules are upward
compatible with CCP
Note:
Throughout this section, generic references
are used for register and bit names that are
the same, except for an ‘x’ variable that indicates the item’s association with the
ECCP1, ECCP2 or ECCP3 module. For
example, the control register is named
CCPxCON and refers to CCP1CON,
CCP2CON and CCP3CON.
 2009-2011 Microchip Technology Inc.
ECCP1, ECCP2 and ECCP3 are implemented as
standard CCP modules with Enhanced PWM
capabilities. These include:
•
•
•
•
•
Provision for two or four output channels
Output Steering modes
Programmable polarity
Programmable dead-band control
Automatic shutdown and restart
The enhanced features are discussed in detail in
Section 19.4 “PWM (Enhanced Mode)”.
The ECCP1, ECCP2 and ECCP3 modules use the
control registers, CCP1CON, CCP2CON and
CCP3CON. The control registers, CCP4CON through
CCP10CON, are for the CCP4 through CCP10
modules.

PIC18F87K90 FAMILY
In addition to the expanded range of modes available
through the CCPxCON and ECCPxAS registers, the
ECCP modules have two additional registers associated
with Enhanced PWM operation and auto-shutdown
features. They are:
• ECCPxDEL – Enhanced PWM Control
• PSTRxCON – Pulse Steering Control
19.1
ECCP Outputs and Configuration
The Enhanced CCP module may have up to four PWM
outputs, depending on the selected operating mode.
The CCPxCON register is modified to allow control
over four PWM outputs: ECCPx/PxA, PxB, PxC and
PxD. Applications can use one, two or four of these
outputs.
The outputs that are active depend on the selected
ECCP operating mode. The pin assignments are
summarized in Table 19-3.
To configure the I/O pins as PWM outputs, the proper
PWM mode must be selected by setting the PxM<1:0>
and CCPxM<3:0> bits. The appropriate TRIS direction
bits for the PORT pins must also be set as outputs.
19.1.1
ECCP MODULE AND TIMER
RESOURCES
The ECCP modules use Timers, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10 or 12,
depending on the mode selected. These timers are
available to CCP modules in Capture, Compare or PWM
modes, as shown in Table 19-1.
TABLE 19-1:
ECCP MODE – TIMER
RESOURCE
ECCP Mode
Timer Resource
Capture
Timer1 or Timer3
Compare
PWM
The assignment of a particular timer to a module is
determined by the timer to ECCP enable bits in the
CCPTMRSx register (Register 19-2). The interactions
between the two modules are depicted in Figure 19-1.
Capture operations are designed to be used when the
timer is configured for Synchronous Counter mode.
Capture operations may not work as expected if the
associated timer is configured for Asynchronous Counter
mode.
19.1.2
ECCP PIN ASSIGNMENT
The pin assignment for ECCPx (capture input,
compare and PWM output) can change, based on
device configuration. The ECCPMX (CONFIG3H<1>)
Configuration bit determines which pins, ECCP1 and
ECCP3, are multiplexed to.
• Default/ECCPMX = 1:
- ECCP1 (P1B/P1C) is multiplexed onto RE6
and RE5
- ECCP3 (P3B/P3C) is multiplexed onto RE4
and RE3
• ECCPMX = 0:
- ECCP1 (P1B/P1C) is multiplexed onto RH7
and RH6
- ECCP3 (P3B/P3C) is multiplexed onto RH5
and RH4.
The pin assignment for ECCP2 (capture input,
compare and PWM output) can change, based on
device configuration.
The CCP2MX Configuration bit (CONFIG3H<0>)
determines which pin, ECCP2, is multiplexed to.
• If CCP2MX = 1 (default) – ECCP2 is multiplexed
to RC1
• If CCP2MX = 0 – ECCP2 is multiplexed to:
- RE7 is the ECCP2 pin with CCP2MX = 0

19.2.2
Capture 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
ECCPx pin. An event is defined as one of the following:
•
•
•
•
Every falling edge
Every rising edge
Every fourth rising edge
Every 16th rising edge

19.2.1
ECCP PIN CONFIGURATION
In Capture mode, the appropriate ECCPx pin should be
configured as an input by setting the corresponding
TRIS direction bit.
Note:
The timers that are to be used with the capture feature
(Timer1 and/or Timer3) must be running in Timer mode
or Synchronized Counter mode. In Asynchronous
Counter mode, the capture operation may not work.
The timer to be used with each ECCP module is
selected in the CCPTMRS0 register (Register 19-2).
19.2.3
The event is selected by the mode select bits,
CCPxM<3:0> (CCPxCON register<3:0>). When a
capture is made, the interrupt request flag bit, CCPxIF,
is set (see Table 19-2). The flag must be cleared by
software. If another capture occurs before the value in
the CCPRxH/L register is read, the old captured value
is overwritten by the new captured value.
If the ECCPx pin is configured as an
output, a write to the PORT can cause a
capture condition.
SOFTWARE INTERRUPT
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.
19.2.4
ECCP PRESCALER
There are four prescaler settings in Capture mode; they
are specified as part of the operating mode selected by
the mode select bits (CCPxM<3:0>). Whenever the
ECCP module is turned off, or Capture mode is
disabled, the prescaler counter is cleared. This means
that any Reset will clear the prescaler counter.
Switching from one capture prescaler to another may
generate an interrupt. Also, the prescaler counter will
not be cleared; therefore, the first capture may be from
a non-zero prescaler. Example 19-1 provides the
recommended method for switching between capture
prescalers. This example also clears the prescaler
counter and will not generate the “false” interrupt.

register pair value. When a match occurs, the ECCPx
pin can be:

The action on the pin is based on the value of the mode
select bits (CCPxM<3:0>). At the same time, the
interrupt flag bit, CCPxIF, is set.
19.3.1
ECCP PIN CONFIGURATION
Users must configure the ECCPx pin as an output by
clearing the appropriate TRIS bit.
Note:
Clearing the CCPxCON register will force
the ECCPx compare output latch
(depending on device configuration) to the
default low level. This is not the PORTx
I/O data latch.
FIGURE 19-2:

When the Generate Software Interrupt mode is chosen
(CCPxM<3:0> = 1010), the ECCPx pin is not affected;
only the CCPxIF interrupt flag is affected.
19.3.4
SPECIAL EVENT TRIGGER
The ECCP module is equipped with a Special Event
Trigger. This is an internal hardware signal generated
in Compare mode to trigger actions by other modules.
The Special Event Trigger is enabled by selecting
the Compare Special Event Trigger mode
(CCPxM<3:0> = 1011).
The Special Event Trigger resets the Timer register pair
for whichever timer resource is currently assigned as the
module’s time base. This allows the CCPRx registers to
serve as a programmable Period register for either timer.
The Special Event Trigger can also start an A/D conversion. In order to do this, the A/D Converter must
already be enabled.

The PWM outputs are multiplexed with I/O pins and are
designated: PxA, PxB, PxC and PxD. The polarity of the
PWM pins is configurable and is selected by setting the
CCPxM bits in the CCPxCON register appropriately.
PWM (Enhanced Mode)
The Enhanced PWM mode can generate a PWM signal
on up to four different output pins with up to 10 bits of
resolution. It can do this through four different PWM
Output modes:

19.4.1
HALF-BRIDGE MODE
In Half-Bridge mode, two pins are used as outputs to
drive push-pull loads. The PWM output signal is output
on the PxA pin, while the complementary PWM output
signal is output on the PxB pin (see Figure 19-6). This
mode can be used for half-bridge applications, as
shown in Figure 19-7, or for full-bridge applications,
where four power switches are being modulated with
two PWM signals.
In Half-Bridge mode, the programmable dead-band delay
can be used to prevent shoot-through current in
half-bridge power devices. The value of the PxDC<6:0>
bits of the ECCPxDEL register 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. For more
details on the dead-band delay operations, see
Section 19.4.6 “Programmable Dead-Band Delay
Mode”.
Since the PxA and PxB outputs are multiplexed with the
PORT data latches, the associated TRIS bits must be
cleared to configure PxA and PxB as outputs.

FULL-BRIDGE MODE
In the Reverse mode, the PxC pin is driven to its active
state and the PxB pin is modulated, while the PxA and
PxD pins are driven to their inactive state, as provided
Figure 19-9.
In Full-Bridge mode, all four pins are used as outputs.
An example of a full-bridge application is provided in
Figure 19-8.
The PxA, PxB, PxC and PxD outputs are multiplexed
with the PORT data latches. The associated TRIS bits
must be cleared to configure the PxA, PxB, PxC and
PxD pins as outputs.
In the Forward mode, the PxA pin is driven to its active
state and the PxD pin is modulated, while the PxB and
PxC pins are driven to their inactive state, as provided in
Figure 19-9.

19.4.2.1
Direction Change in Full-Bridge Mode
In the Full-Bridge mode, the PxM1 bit in the CCPxCON
register allows users to control the forward/reverse
direction. When the application firmware changes this
direction control bit, the module will change to the new
direction on the next PWM cycle.
A direction change is initiated in software by changing
the PxM1 bit of the CCPxCON register. The following
sequence occurs prior to the end of the current PWM
period:
• The modulated outputs (PxB and PxD) are placed
in their inactive state.
• The associated unmodulated outputs (PxA and
PxC) are switched to drive in the opposite
direction.
• PWM modulation resumes at the beginning of the
next period.
For an illustration of this sequence, see Figure 19-10.
The Full-Bridge mode does not provide a dead-band
delay. As one output is modulated at a time, a
dead-band delay is generally not required. There is a
situation where a dead-band delay is required. This
situation occurs when both of the following conditions
are true:
FIGURE 19-10:
• The direction of the PWM output changes when
the duty cycle of the output is at or near 100%.
• The turn-off time of the power switch, including
the power device and driver circuit, is greater than
the turn-on time.
Figure 19-11 shows an example of the PWM direction
changing from forward to reverse, at a near 100% duty
cycle. In this example, at time, t1, the PxA and PxD
outputs become inactive, while the PxC output
becomes active. Since the turn-off time of the power
devices is longer than the turn-on time, a shoot-through
current will flow through power devices, QC and QD
(see Figure 19-8), for the duration of ‘t’. The same
phenomenon will occur to power devices, QA and QB,
for PWM direction change from reverse to forward.
If changing PWM direction at high duty cycle is required
for an application, two possible solutions for eliminating
the shoot-through current are:
• Reduce PWM duty cycle for one PWM period
before changing directions.
• 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.

START-UP CONSIDERATIONS
When any PWM mode is used, the application
hardware must use the proper external pull-up and/or
pull-down resistors on the PWM output pins.
Note:
T = TOFF – TON(2,3)
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 CCPxM<1:0> bits of the CCPxCON register allow
the user to choose whether the PWM output signals are
active-high or active-low for each pair of PWM output
pins (PxA/PxC and PxB/PxD). The PWM output
polarities must be selected before the PWM pin output
drivers are enabled. Changing the polarity configuration while the PWM pin output drivers are enabled is
not recommended since it may result in damage to the
application circuits.
The PxA, PxB, PxC and PxD output latches may not be
in the proper states when the PWM module is
initialized. Enabling the PWM pin output drivers at the
same time as the Enhanced PWM modes may cause
damage to the application circuit. The Enhanced PWM
modes must be enabled in the proper Output mode and
DS39957D-page 264
complete a full PWM cycle before enabling the PWM
pin output drivers. The completion of a full PWM cycle
is indicated by the TMR2IF or TMR4IF bit of the PIR1
or PIR5 register being set as the second PWM period
begins.
19.4.4
ENHANCED PWM
AUTO-SHUTDOWN MODE
The PWM mode supports an Auto-Shutdown mode that
will disable the PWM outputs when an external
shutdown event occurs. Auto-Shutdown mode places
the PWM output pins into a predetermined state. This
mode is used to help prevent the PWM from damaging
the application.
The auto-shutdown sources are selected using the
ECCPxAS<2:0> bits (ECCPxAS<6:4>). A shutdown
event may be generated by:
• A logic ‘0’ on the pin that is assigned the FLT0
input function
• Comparator C1
• Comparator C2
• Setting the ECCPxASE bit in firmware
A shutdown condition is indicated by the ECCPxASE
(Auto-Shutdown Event Status) bit (ECCPxAS<7>). If
the bit is a ‘0’, the PWM pins are operating normally. If
the bit is a ‘1’, the PWM outputs are in the shutdown
state.
 2009-2011 Microchip Technology Inc.
PIC18F87K90 FAMILY
When a shutdown event occurs, two things happen:
Each pin pair may be placed into one of three states:
• The ECCPxASE bit is set to ‘1’. The ECCPxASE
will remain set until cleared in firmware or an
auto-restart occurs. (See Section 19.4.5
“Auto-Restart Mode”.)
• The enabled PWM pins are asynchronously
placed in their shutdown states. The PWM output
pins are grouped into pairs: PxA/PxC and
PxB/PxD. The state of each pin pair is determined
by the PSSxAC and PSSxBD bits
(ECCPxAS<3:2> and <1:0>, respectively).
• Drive logic ‘1’
• Drive logic ‘0’
• Tri-state (high-impedance)

auto-shutdown condition has been removed and the PWM restarted (either through firmware or
auto-restart), the PWM signal will always restart at the beginning of the next PWM period.

PROGRAMMABLE DEAD-BAND
DELAY MODE
FIGURE 19-14:
In half-bridge applications, where all power switches
are modulated at the PWM frequency, 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
until one switch completely turns off. During this brief
interval, a very high current (shoot-through current) will
flow through both power switches, shorting the bridge
supply. To avoid this potentially destructive
shoot-through current from flowing during switching,
turning on either of the power switches is normally
delayed to allow the other switch to completely turn off.
In Half-Bridge mode, a digitally programmable
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. For an illustration, see
Figure 19-14. The lower seven bits of the associated
ECCPxDEL register (Register 19-4) set the delay
period in terms of microcontroller instruction cycles
(TCY or 4 TOSC).

PULSE STEERING MODE
In Single Output mode, pulse steering allows any of the
PWM pins to be the modulated signal. Additionally, the
same PWM signal can simultaneously be available on
multiple pins.
Once the Single Output mode is selected
(CCPxM<3:2> = 11 and PxM<1:0> = 00 of the
CCPxCON register), the user firmware can bring out
the same PWM signal to one, two, three or four output
pins by setting the appropriate STR<D:A> bits
(PSTRxCON<3:0>), as provided in Table 19-3.
Note:
While the PWM Steering mode is active, the
CCPxM<1:0> bits (CCPxCON<1:0>) select the PWM
output polarity for the Px<D:A> pins.
The PWM auto-shutdown operation also applies to the
PWM Steering mode, as described in Section 19.4.4
“Enhanced PWM Auto-shutdown mode”. An
auto-shutdown event will only affect pins that have
PWM outputs enabled.
The associated TRIS bits must be set to
output (‘0’) to enable the pin output driver
in order to see the PWM signal on the pin.

OPERATION IN POWER-MANAGED
MODES
19.4.8.1
Operation with Fail-Safe
Clock Monitor (FSCM)
In Sleep mode, all clock sources are disabled.
Timer2/4/6/8 will not increment and the state of the
module will not change. If the ECCPx pin is driving a
value, it will continue to drive that value. When the
device wakes up, it will continue from this state. If
Two-Speed Start-ups are enabled, the initial start-up
frequency from HF-INTOSC and the postscaler may
not be immediately stable.
If the Fail-Safe Clock Monitor (FSCM) is enabled, a clock
failure will force the device into the power-managed
RC_RUN mode and the OSCFIF bit of the PIR2/4/6/8
register will be set. The ECCPx will then be clocked from
the internal oscillator clock source, which may have a
different clock frequency than the primary clock.
In PRI_IDLE mode, the primary clock will continue to
clock the ECCPx module without change.
Both Power-on Reset and subsequent Resets will force
all ports to Input mode and the ECCP registers to their
Reset states. This forces the ECCP module to reset to
a state compatible with previous, non-Enhanced CCP
modules used on other PIC18 and PIC16 devices.

LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY
(LCD) DRIVER MODULE
The Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) driver module
generates the timing control to drive a static or
multiplexed LCD panel. In the 80-pin devices
(PIC18F8XK90), the module drives the panels of up to
four commons and up to 48 segments and in the 64-pin
devices (PIC18F6XK90), the module drives the panels
of up to four commons and up to 33 segments. It also
provides control of the LCD pixel data.
The LCD driver module supports:
• Direct driving of LCD panel
• Three LCD clock sources with selectable prescaler
• Up to four commons:
- Static (One common)
- 1/2 multiplex (two commons)
- 1/3 multiplex (three commons)
- 1/4 multiplex (four commons)
• Up to 48 (in 80-pin devices), 32 (in 64-pin
devices) segments
• Static, 1/2 or 1/3 LCD bias
• Internal resistors for bias voltage generation
• Software contrast control for LCD using the
internal biasing
A simplified block diagram of the module is shown in
Figure 20-1.

The LCDCON register, shown in Register 20-1,
controls the overall operation of the module. Once the
module is configured, the LCDEN (LCDCON<7>) bit is
used to enable or disable the LCD module. The LCD
panel can also operate during Sleep by clearing the
SLPEN (LCDCON<6>) bit.

LCD Clock Source Selection
The LCD driver module has three possible clock
sources:
• (FOSC/4)/8192
• SOSC Clock/32
• INTRC/32
The second clock source is the SOSC oscillator/32.
This also outputs about 1 kHz when a 32.768 kHz
crystal is used with the SOSC oscillator. To use the
SOSC oscillator as a clock source, set the SOSCEN
(T1CON<3>) bit.
20.2.1
LCD PRESCALER
A 16-bit counter is available as a prescaler for the LCD
clock. The prescaler is not directly readable or writable.
Its value is set by the LP<3:0> bits (LCDPS<3:0>) that
determines the prescaler assignment and prescale ratio.
Selectable prescale values are from 1:1 through
1:32,768, in power-of-2 increments.

The second and third clock sources may be used to

Sleep.
These clock sources are selected through the bits
CS<1:0> (LCDCON<3:2>).
The first clock source is the system clock divided by
8,192 ((FOSC/4)/8192). This divider ratio is chosen to
provide about 1 kHz output when the system clock is
8 MHz. The divider is not programmable. Instead, the
LCD prescaler bits, LCDPS<3:0>, are used to set the
LCD frame clock rate.

LCD Bias Types
The LCD module can be configured in one of three bias
types:
• Static bias (two voltage levels: VSS and VDD)
• 1/2 bias (three voltage levels: VSS, 1/2 VDD and
VDD)
• 1/3 bias (four voltage levels: VSS, 1/3 VDD,
2/3 VDD and VDD)
LCD bias voltages can be generated with an internal or
external resistor ladder. The internal resistor ladder
eliminates the external solution’s use of up to three
pins.
FIGURE 20-3:
If the internal reference ladder is used to generate bias
voltages, it also can provide software contrast control
(using LCDCST<2:0>). An external resistor ladder can
not do this.
20.3.1
EXTERNAL RESISTOR BIASING
The external resistor ladder should be connected to the
VLCD1 pin (Bias 1), VLCD2 pin (Bias 2), VLCD3 pin
(Bias 3) and VSS. The VLCD3 pin is used to set the
highest voltage to the LCD glass and can be connected
to VDD or a lower voltage.
Figure 20-3 shows the proper way to connect the
resistor ladder to the Bias pins.

INTERNAL RESISTOR BIASING
This mode does not use external resistors, but rather
internal resistor ladders that are configured to generate
the bias voltage.
The internal reference ladder actually consists of three
separate ladders. Disabling the internal reference
ladder disconnects all of the ladders, allowing external
voltages to be supplied.
Table 20-3 shows the total resistance of each of the
ladders. Figure 20-4 shows the internal resister ladder
connections. When the internal resistor ladder is
selected, the bias voltage can either be from VDD or
from VDDCORE, depending on the LCDIRS setting.
TABLE 20-3:
Depending on the total resistance of the resistor
ladders, the biasing can be classified as low, medium
or high power.

20.3.2.1
There are two power modes designated as “Mode A”
and “Mode B”. Mode A is set by the bits, LRLAP<1:0>
and Mode B by LRLB<1:0>. The resistor ladder to use
for Modes A and B are selected by the bits,
LRLAP<1:0> and LRLBP<1:0>, respectively
As an LCD segment is electrically only a capacitor, current is drawn only during the interval when the voltage
is switching. To minimize total device current, the LCD
reference ladder can be operated in a different power
mode for the transition portion of the duration. This is
controlled by the LCDRL register.
Each ladder has a matching contrast control ladder,
tuned to the nominal resistance of the reference ladder.
This contrast control resistor can be controlled by
LCDREF<5:3> (LCDCST<2:0>). Disabling the internal
reference ladder results in all of the ladders being
disconnected, allowing external voltages to be
supplied.
Mode A Power mode is active for a programmable time,
beginning at the time when the LCD segment waveform
is transitioning. The LCDRL<2:1> (LRLAT<2:0>) bits
select how long, or if the Mode A is active. Mode B
Power mode is active for the remaining time before the
segments or commons change again.
To get additional current in High-Power mode, when
LCDRL<7:6> (LRLAP<1:0>) = 11, both the medium
and high-power resistor ladders are activated.
As shown in Figure 20-5, there are 32 counts in a single
segment time. Type-A can be chosen during the time

used when the clock is stable or not in transition.
Whenever the LCD module is inactive (LCDA

Contrast Control
The LCD contrast control circuit consists of a 7-tap
resistor ladder, controlled by the LCDCST bits (see

20.3.2.3
Internal Reference
Under firmware control, an internal reference for the
LCD bias voltages can be enabled. When enabled, the
source of this voltage can be VDD.
When no internal reference is selected, the LCD
contrast control circuit is disabled and LCD bias must
be provided externally. Whenever the LCD module is
inactive (LCDA = 0), the internal reference will be
turned off.
20.3.2.4
Each VLCD pin has an independent control in the
LCDREF register, allowing access to any or all of the
LCD bias signals.
This architecture allows for maximum flexibility in
different applications. The VLCDx pins could be used
to add capacitors to the internal reference ladder for
increasing the drive capacity. For applications where
the internal contrast control is insufficient, the firmware
can choose to enable only the VLCD3 pin, allowing an
external contrast control circuit to use the internal
reference divider.
LCD Multiplex Types
The LCD driver module can be configured into four
multiplex types:
•

Note:
On a Power-on Reset, the LMUX<1:0>
bits are ‘00’.

The VLCD3, VLCD2 and VLCD1 pins provide the

does not prevent use of the internal ladder.

If the pin is a digital I/O, the corresponding TRIS bit
controls the data direction. If the pin is a COM drive, the

The LCDSEx registers are used to select the pin
function for each segment pin. The selection allows
each pin to operate as either an LCD segment driver or
a digital only pin. To configure the pin as a segment pin,
the corresponding bits in the LCDSEx registers must
be set to ‘1’.
If the pin is a digital I/O, the corresponding TRIS bit
controls the data direction. Any bit set in the LCDSEx
registers overrides any bit settings in the corresponding
TRIS register.
Note:

On a Power-on Reset, these pins are

The LCDDATAx registers contain bits that define the
state of each pixel. Each bit defines one unique pixel.
The LMUX<1:0> setting (LCDCON<1:0>) decides the
function of the PORTE<6:4> bits. (For details, see
Table 20-4.)
Any LCD pixel location not being used for display can
be used as general purpose RAM.

LCD Waveform Generation
LCD waveform generation is based on the philosophy
that the net AC voltage across the dark pixel should be
maximized and the net AC voltage across the clear
pixel should be minimized. The net DC voltage across
any pixel should be zero.
The COM signal represents the time slice for each
common, while the SEG contains the pixel data.
The pixel signal (COM-SEG) will have no DC
component and can take only one of the two rms values.
The higher rms value will create a dark pixel and a lower
rms value will create a clear pixel.
As the number of commons increases, the delta
between the two rms values decreases. The delta
represents the maximum contrast that the display can
have.
The LCDs can be driven by two types of waveforms:
Type-A and Type-B. In a Type-A waveform, the phase
changes within each common type, whereas a Type-B
waveform’s phase changes on each frame boundary.
Thus, Type-A waveforms maintain 0 VDC over a single
frame, whereas Type-B waveforms take two frames.
Note 1: If Sleep has to be executed with
LCD
Sleep
enabled
(SLPEN
(LCDCON<6>) = 1), care must be taken
to execute Sleep only when VDC on all
the pixels is ‘0’.
2: When the LCD clock source is (FOSC/4)/
8192, if Sleep is executed irrespective of
the LCDCON<SLPEN> setting, the LCD
goes into Sleep. Thus, take care to see
that VDC on all pixels is ‘0’ when Sleep is
executed.
Figure 20-7 through Figure 20-17 provide waveforms
for static, half-multiplex, one-third multiplex and quarter
multiplex drives for Type-A and Type-B waveforms.

20.9
When the LCD driver is running with Type-B waveforms
and the LMUX<1:0> bits are not equal to ‘00’, there are
some additional issues.
LCD Interrupts
The LCD timing generation provides an interrupt that
defines the LCD frame timing. This interrupt can be
used to coordinate the writing of the pixel data with the
start of a new frame, which produces a visually crisp
transition of the image.
Since the DC voltage on the pixel takes two frames to
maintain 0V, the pixel data must not change between
subsequent frames. If the pixel data were allowed to
change, the waveform for the odd frames would not
necessarily be the complement of the waveform generated in the even frames and a DC component would be
introduced into the panel.
This interrupt can also be used to synchronize external
events to the LCD. For example, the interface to an
external segment driver can be synchronized for
segment data updates to the LCD frame.
Because of this, using Type-B waveforms requires
synchronizing the LCD pixel updates to occur within a
subframe after the frame interrupt.
A new frame is defined as beginning at the leading
edge of the COM0 common signal. The interrupt will be
set immediately after the LCD controller completes
accessing all pixel data required for a frame. This will
occur at a fixed interval before the frame boundary
(TFINT), as shown in Figure 20-18.
To correctly sequence writing in Type-B, the interrupt
only occurs on complete phase intervals. If the user
attempts to write when the write is disabled, the WERR
bit (LCDCON<5>) is set.
The LCD controller will begin to access data for the
next frame within the interval from the interrupt to when
the controller begins accessing data after the interrupt
(TFWR). New data must be written within TFWR, as this
is when the LCD controller will begin to access the data
for the next frame.
FIGURE 20-18:
Note:
The interrupt is not generated when the
Type-A waveform is selected and when
the Type-B with no multiplex (static) is
selected.

20.10 Operation During Sleep
The LCD module can operate during Sleep. Setting the
SLPEN bit (LCDCON<6>) allows the LCD module to go
to Sleep. Clearing this bit allows the module to continue
operating during Sleep.
If a SLEEP instruction is executed and SLPEN = 1, the
LCD module will cease all functions and go into a very
low-current consumption mode. The module will stop
operation immediately and drive the minimum LCD voltage on both segment and common lines. Figure 20-19
shows this operation.
The LCD module current consumption will not
decrease in this mode, but the overall consumption of
the device will be lower due to shut down of the core
and other peripheral functions.
To ensure that no DC component is introduced on the
panel, the SLEEP instruction should be executed
immediately after an LCD frame boundary. The LCD
FIGURE 20-19:
interrupt can be used to determine the frame boundary.
For the formulas to calculate the delay, see
Section 20.9 “LCD Interrupts”.
If a SLEEP instruction is executed and SLPEN = 0, the
module will continue to display the current contents of
the LCDDATA registers. The LCD data cannot be
changed.
To allow the module to continue operation while in
Sleep, the clock source must be either the internal RC
oscillator or Timer1 external oscillator.
If the system clock is selected and the module is
programmed to not Sleep, the module will ignore the
SLPEN bit and stop operation immediately. The
minimum LCD voltage then will be driven onto the
segments and commons.
Note:
The internal RC oscillator or external
SOSC oscillator must be used to operate
the LCD module during Sleep.

MASTER SYNCHRONOUS
SERIAL PORT (MSSP)
MODULE
Master SSP (MSSP) Module
Overview
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 Peripheral Interface (SPI)
• Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C™)
- Full Master mode
- Slave mode (with general address call)
The I2C interface supports the following modes in
hardware:
• Master mode
• Multi-Master mode
• Slave mode with 5-bit and 7-bit address masking
(with address masking for both 10-bit and 7-bit
addressing)
21.3
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:
• Serial Data Out (SDOx) – RC5/SDO1/SEG12 or
RD4/SEG4/SDO2
• Serial Data In (SDIx) – RC4/SDI1/SDA1/SEG16
or RD5/SEG5/SDI2/SDA2
• Serial Clock (SCKx) – RC3/SCK1/SCL1/SEG17
or RD6/SEG6/SCK2/SCL2
Additionally, a fourth pin may be used when in a Slave
mode of operation:
• Slave Select (SSx) – RF7/AN5/SS1/SEG25 or
RD7/SEG7/SS2
Figure 21-1 shows the block diagram of the MSSP
module when operating in SPI mode.
FIGURE 21-1:
21.2
Throughout this section, generic references to an MSSP module in any of its
operating modes may be interpreted as
being equally applicable to MSSP1 or
MSSP2. Register names and module I/O
signals use the generic designator ‘x’ to
indicate the use of a numeral to distinguish
a particular module when required. Control
bit names are not individuated.
Read
Additional details are provided under the individual
sections.
Note:
In devices with more than one MSSP
module, it is very important to pay close
attention to SSPxCON register names.
SSP1CON1 and SSP1CON2 control
different operational aspects of the same
module,
while
SSP1CON1
and
SSP2CON1 control the same features for

Control Registers
Each MSSP module has three associated control registers. These include a status register (SSPxSTAT) and
two control registers (SSPxCON1 and SSPxCON2). The
use of these registers and their individual configuration
bits differ significantly depending on whether the MSSP
module is operated in SPI or I2C mode.

21.3.1
REGISTERS
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.
Each MSSP module has four registers for SPI mode
operation. These are:
• MSSPx Control Register 1 (SSPxCON1)
• MSSPx Status Register (SSPxSTAT)
• Serial Receive/Transmit Buffer Register
(SSPxBUF)
• MSSPx Shift Register (SSPxSR) – Not directly
accessible
During transmission, the SSPxBUF is not
double-buffered. A write to SSPxBUF will write to both
SSPxBUF and SSPxSR.
Note:
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.
The SSPxBUF register cannot be used
with read-modify-write instructions, such
as BCF, COMF, etc.
To avoid lost data in Master mode, a read of
the SSPxBUF must be performed to clear the
Buffer Full (BF) detect bit (SSPxSTAT<0>)
between each transmission.
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.

21.3.2
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)
• Slave Select mode (Slave mode only)
Each MSSP module consists of a Transmit/Receive
Shift register (SSPxSR) and a Serial Receive Transmit
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 transmission/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.
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 21-1 shows the
loading of the SSPxBUF (SSPxSR) for data
transmission.
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.
21.3.3
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 11.1.3
“Open-Drain Outputs”.
The open-drain output option is controlled by the
SSP2OD
(ODCON1<0>)
and SSP1OD
bits
(ODCON1<7>). Setting an SSPxOD bit configures the
SDOx and SCKx pins for the corresponding module for
open-drain operation.
Note:
EXAMPLE 21-1:

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:
• SDIx must have TRISC<4> or TRISD<5> bit set
• SDOx must have the TRISC<5> or TRISD<4> bit
cleared
• SCKx (Master mode) must have the TRISC<3> or
TRISD<6>bit cleared
• SCKx (Slave mode) must have the TRISC<3> or
TRISD<6> bit set
• SSx must have the TRISF<7> or TRISD<7> bit set
FIGURE 21-2:
Any serial port function that is not desired may be
overridden by programming the corresponding Data
Direction (TRIS) register to the opposite value.
21.3.5
TYPICAL CONNECTION
Figure 21-2 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 programmed 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:
• Master sends data–Slave sends dummy data
• Master sends data–Slave sends data
• Master sends dummy data–Slave sends data

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 21-2) is to
broadcast data by the software protocol.
In Master mode, the data is transmitted/received as
soon as the SSPxBUF register is written to. If the SPI
is only going to receive, the SDOx output could be disabled (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.
The clock polarity is selected by appropriately
programming the CKP bit (SSPxCON1<4>). This, then,
would give waveforms for SPI communication as
FIGURE 21-3:
shown in Figure 21-3, Figure 21-5 and Figure 21-6,
where the MSB is transmitted first. In Master mode, the
SPI clock rate (bit rate) is user-programmable to be one
of the following:
•
•
•
•
FOSC/4 (or TCY)
FOSC/16 (or 4 • TCY)
FOSC/64 (or 16 • TCY)
Timer2 output/2
This allows a maximum data rate (at 40 MHz) of
10.00 Mbps.
Figure 21-3 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.

External pull-up/pull-down resistors may be desirable
depending on the application.
While in Slave mode, the external clock is supplied by
the external clock source on the SCKx pin. This external clock must meet the minimum high and low times
as specified in the electrical specifications.

enabled

(SSPxCON1<3:0> = 0100), the SPI
module will reset if the SSx pin is set to

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.
2: If the SPI is used in Slave mode, with CKE
set, then the SSx pin control must be
enabled.
21.3.8
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.
SLAVE SELECT
SYNCHRONIZATION
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
FIGURE 21-4:
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 (SDIx
function) since it cannot create a bus conflict.

source. See Section 3.3 “Clock Sources and
Oscillator Switching” for additional information.
TABLE 21-1:
In most cases, the speed that the master clocks SPI
data is not important; however, this should be
evaluated for each system.
If MSSP interrupts are enabled, they can wake the
controller from Sleep mode, or one of the Idle modes,
when the master completes sending data. If an exit
from Sleep or Idle mode is not desired, MSSP
interrupts should be disabled.
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.
In SPI Slave mode, the SPI Transmit/Receive Shift
register operates asynchronously to the device. This
allows the device to be placed in any power-managed
mode and data to be shifted into the SPI
Transmit/Receive Shift register. When all 8 bits have
been received, the MSSP interrupt flag bit will be set,
and if enabled, will wake the device.

SPI CLOCK SPEED AND MODULE
INTERACTIONS
Because MSSP1 and MSSP2 are independent
modules, they can operate simultaneously at different
data rates. Setting the SSPM<3:0> bits of the
SSPxCON1 register determines the rate for the
corresponding module.
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.
EFFECTS OF A RESET
A Reset disables the MSSP module and terminates the
current transfer.

I2C™ Mode
21.4.1
The MSSP module in I 2C 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.
Two pins are used for data transfer:
• Serial Clock (SCLx) – RC3/SCK1/SCL1/SEG17
or RD6/SEG6/SCK2/SCL2
• Serial Data (SDAx) – RC4/SDI1/SDA1/SEG16 or
RD5/SEG5/SDI2/SDA2
The user must configure these pins as inputs by setting
the associated TRIS bits.

REGISTERS
The MSSP module has seven registers for I2C
operation. These are:
•
•
•
•
MSSPx Control Register 1 (SSPxCON1)
MSSPx Control Register 2 (SSPxCON2)
MSSPx Status Register (SSPxSTAT)
Serial Receive/Transmit Buffer Register
(SSPxBUF)
• MSSPx Shift Register (SSPxSR) – Not directly
accessible
• MSSPx Address Register (SSPxADD)
• I2C Slave Address Mask Register (SSPxMSK)
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.
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.
SSPxADD contains the slave device address when the
MSSP is configured in I2C Slave mode. When the
MSSP is configured in Master mode, the lower seven
bits of SSPxADD act as the Baud Rate Generator
reload value.
SSPxMSK holds the slave address mask value when
the module is configured for 7-Bit Address Masking
mode. While it is a separate register, it shares the same
SFR address as SSPxADD. It is only accessible when
the SSPM<3:0> bits are specifically set to permit
access. Additional details are provided in
Section 21.4.3.4 “7-Bit Address Masking Mode”.
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.
During transmission, the SSPxBUF is not
double-buffered. A write to SSPxBUF will write to both
SSPxBUF and SSPxSR.
Only port I/O names are used in this diagram for
the sake of brevity. Refer to the text for a full list of
multiplexed functions.

21.4.2
OPERATION
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
I 2C Slave mode (7-bit address)
I 2C Slave mode (10-bit address)
I 2C Slave mode (7-bit address) with Start and
Stop bit interrupts enabled
• I 2C Slave mode (10-bit address) with Start and
Stop bit interrupts enabled
• I 2C Firmware Controlled Master mode, slave is
Idle
•
•
•
•
Selection of any I 2C 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.
21.4.3
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 I 2C 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.
When an address is matched, or the data transfer after
an address match is received, the hardware automatically will generate the Acknowledge (ACK) pulse
and load the SSPxBUF register with the received value
currently in the SSPxSR register.
Any combination of the following conditions will cause
the MSSP module not to give this ACK pulse:
• The Buffer Full bit, BF (SSPxSTAT<0>), was set
before the transfer was received.
• The overflow bit, SSPOV (SSPxCON1<6>), was
set before the transfer was received.
21.4.3.1
Addressing
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:
1.
2.
3.
4.
The SSPxSR register value is loaded into the
SSPxBUF register.
The Buffer Full bit, BF, is set.
An ACK pulse is generated.
The MSSP Interrupt Flag bit, SSPxIF, is set (and
an 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. The R/W bit (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:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
Receive first (high) byte of address (bits,
SSPxIF, BF and UA, are set on address match).
Update the SSPxADD register with second (low)
byte of address (clears bit, UA, and releases the
SCLx line).
Read the SSPxBUF register (clears bit, BF) and
clear flag bit, SSPxIF.
Receive second (low) byte of address (bits,
SSPxIF, BF and UA, are set).
Update the SSPxADD register with the first
(high) byte of address. If match releases the
SCLx line, this will clear bit, UA.
Read the SSPxBUF register (clears bit, BF) and
clear flag bit, SSPxIF.
Receive Repeated Start condition.
Receive first (high) byte of address (bits,
SSPxIF and BF, are set).
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.

21.4.3.2
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 PIC18F87K90 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.
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.
21.4.3.3
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 21-2:
Acknowledge up to 31 addresses when using 7-bit
addressing, or 63 addresses with 10-bit addressing
(see Example 21-2). This Masking mode is selected
when the MSSPMSK Configuration bit is programmed
(‘0’).
The address mask in this mode is stored in the
SSPxCON2 register, which stops functioning as a
control register in I2C Slave mode (Register 21-6). In
7-Bit Address Masking mode, address mask bits,
ADMSK<5:1> (SSPxCON2<5:1>), mask the corresponding address bits in the SSPxADD register. For
any ADMSK bits that are set (ADMSK<n> = 1), the corresponding 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.
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 corresponding 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.
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.
ADDRESS MASKING EXAMPLES IN 5-BIT MASKING MODE

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 that can be Acknowledged, using the lowest bits of the incoming address.
This allows the module to Acknowledge up to 127 different addresses with 7-bit addressing, or 255 with
10-bit addressing (see Example 21-3). This mode is
the default configuration of the module and is selected
when MSSPMSK is unprogrammed (‘1’).
The address mask for 7-Bit Address Masking mode is
stored in the SSPxMSK register, instead of the
SSPxCON2 register. SSPxMSK is a separate hardware 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’ (SSPxCON1<3:0> = 1001) and then
read or write to the location of SSPxADD.
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:
1.
2.
3.
Select
SSPxMSK
Access
mode
(SSPxCON2<3:0> = 1001).
Write the mask value to the appropriate
SSPxADD register address (FC8h for MSSP1,
F6Eh for MSSP2).
Set the appropriate I2C Slave mode
(SSPxCON2<3:0> = 0111 for 10-bit addressing,
‘0110’ for 7-bit addressing).
EXAMPLE 21-3:
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.
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
sufficient to match only on addresses that do not have
an active address mask.
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
corresponding SSPxADD address bit is ignored
(SSPxADD<n> = x).
Note:
The two Most Significant bits of the
address are not affected by address
masking.
ADDRESS MASKING EXAMPLES IN 7-BIT MASKING MODE
7-Bit Addressing:
SSPxADD<7:1> = 1010 000
SSPxMSK<7:1> = 1111 001
Addresses Acknowledged = ACh, A8h, A4h, A0h
10-Bit Addressing:
SSPxADD<7:0> = 1010 0000
SSPxMSK<7:0> = 1111 0011
Addresses Acknowledged = ACh, A8h, A4h, A0h

21.4.3.5
Reception
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 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
(SSPxCON1<4>). See Section 21.4.4 “Clock
Stretching” for more details.
21.4.3.6
Transmission
When the R/W bit of the incoming address byte is set
and an address match occurs, the R/W bit of the
SSPxSTAT register is set. The received address is
loaded into the SSPxBUF register. The ACK pulse will
be sent on the ninth bit and pin, SCLx, is held low
regardless of SEN (see Section 21.4.4 “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 21-10).
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.
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.

PIC18F87K90 FAMILY
21.4.4
CLOCK STRETCHING
Both 7-Bit and 10-Bit Slave modes implement
automatic clock stretching during a transmit sequence.
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.
21.4.4.1
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 21-15).
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.
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.
21.4.4.2
21.4.4.3
Clock Stretching for 7-Bit Slave
Transmit Mode
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 user’s ISR must set the CKP bit before transmission 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 21-10).
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.
21.4.4.4
Clock Stretching for 10-Bit Slave
Transmit Mode
In 10-Bit Slave Transmit mode, clock stretching is
controlled during the first two address sequences by
the state of the UA bit, just as it is in 10-Bit Slave
Receive mode. The first two addresses are followed
by a third address sequence, which contains the
high-order bits of the 10-bit address and the R/W bit
set to ‘1’. After the third address sequence is
performed, the UA bit is not set, the module is now
configured in Transmit mode and clock stretching is
controlled by the BF flag as in 7-Bit Slave Transmit
mode (see Figure 21-13).
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.

21.4.4.5
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
FIGURE 21-14:
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 21-14).

GENERAL CALL ADDRESS
SUPPORT
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.
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 general 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 21-17).
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:
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 I 2C 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 MSSPx Interrupt
Flag bit, SSPxIF, to be set (and MSSP interrupt, if
enabled):

I2C Master Mode Operation
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.
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 transmitted, an Acknowledge bit is received. Start and Stop
conditions are output to indicate the beginning and the
end of a serial transfer.
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.
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 21.4.7 “Baud Rate” for more details.
DS39957D-page 334
A typical transmit sequence would go as follows:
1.
The user generates a Start condition by setting
the Start Enable bit, SEN (SSPxCON2<0>).
2. SSPxIF is set. The MSSPx 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.
4. Address is shifted out the SDAx pin until all 8 bits
are transmitted.
5. The MSSPx module shifts in the ACK bit from
the slave device and writes its value into the
SSPxCON2 register (SSPxCON2<6>).
6. The MSSPx module generates an interrupt at
the end of the ninth clock cycle by setting the
SSPxIF bit.
7. The user loads the SSPxBUF with 8 bits of data.
8. Data is shifted out the SDAx pin until all 8 bits
are transmitted.
9. The MSSPx module shifts in the ACK bit from
the slave device and writes its value into the
SSPxCON2 register (SSPxCON2<6>).
10. The MSSPx module generates an interrupt at
the end of the ninth clock cycle by setting the
SSPxIF bit.
11. The user generates a Stop condition by setting
the Stop Enable bit, PEN (SSPxCON2<2>).
12. An interrupt is generated once the Stop condition
is complete.

BAUD RATE
21.4.7.1
2
In I C Master mode, the Baud Rate Generator (BRG)
reload value is placed in the lower 7 bits of the
SSPxADD register (Figure 21-19). 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.
Baud Rate and Module
Interdependence
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., transmission 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 21-3 demonstrates clock rates based on
instruction cycles and the BRG value loaded into
SSPxADD. The SSPxADD BRG value of ‘0x00’ is not
supported.

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
until the SCLx pin is actually sampled high. When the
FIGURE 21-20:
SDAx
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 21-20).

I2C™ MASTER MODE START
CONDITION TIMING
Note:
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 condition 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.
FIGURE 21-21:
21.4.8.1
If, at the beginning of the Start condition,
the SDAx and SCLx pins are already
sampled 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.

If the user writes the SSPxBUF when a Start sequence

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).
21.4.9.1
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).

I2C™ MASTER MODE
TRANSMISSION
Transmission of a data byte, a 7-bit address or the
other half of a 10-bit address, is accomplished by
simply writing a value to the SSPxBUF register. This
action will set the Buffer Full flag bit, BF, and allow the
Baud Rate Generator to begin counting and start the
next 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 21-23).
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.
21.4.10.1
BF Status Flag
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.
21.4.10.2
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
 2009-2011 Microchip Technology Inc.
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.
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.
21.4.10.3
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 Acknowledge (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.
21.4.11
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 contents 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>).
21.4.11.1

If the user writes the SSPxBUF when a receive is
already in progress (i.e., SSPxSR is still shifting in a

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 (see Figure 21-26).
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 automatically cleared, the Baud Rate Generator is turned off
and the MSSP module then goes into an inactive state
(Figure 21-25).

SLEEP OPERATION
21.4.17

While in Sleep mode, the I C 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).
21.4.15
EFFECTS OF A RESET
A Reset disables the MSSP module and terminates the
current transfer.
21.4.16
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 I 2C 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.
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.
The states where arbitration can be lost are:
•
•
•
•
•

A Start Condition
A Repeated Start Condition
An Acknowledge Condition
MULTI -MASTER COMMUNICATION,
BUS COLLISION AND BUS
ARBITRATION
Multi-Master mode support is achieved by bus arbitration. 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 21-27).
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.
If a Start, Repeated Start, Stop or Acknowledge condition
was in progress when the bus collision occurred, the condition 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 master will continue to monitor the SDAx and SCLx
pins. If a Stop condition occurs, the SSPxIF bit will be set.
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 determination 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.

21.4.17.1
Bus Collision During a Start
Condition
During a Start condition, a bus collision occurs if:
a)
b)
SDAx or SCLx is sampled low at the beginning
of the Start condition (Figure 21-28).
SCLx is sampled low before SDAx is asserted
low (Figure 21-29).
During a Start condition, both the SDAx and the SCLx
pins are monitored.
If the SDAx pin is sampled low during this count, the
BRG is reset and the SDAx line is asserted early
(Figure 21-30). 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.
Note:
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
• The MSSP module is reset to its inactive state
(see Figure 21-28)
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.
FIGURE 21-28:
The reason that a 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
collision because the two masters must be
allowed to arbitrate the first address
following the Start condition. If the address
is the same, arbitration must be allowed to
continue into the data portion, Repeated
Start or Stop conditions.

21.4.17.2
Bus Collision During a Repeated
Start Condition
If SDAx is low, a bus collision has occurred (i.e., another
master is attempting to transmit a data ‘0’,
Figure 21-31). 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)
b)
A low level is sampled on SDAx when SCLx
goes from a low level to a high level.
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 21-32).
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.
FIGURE 21-31:
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.

21.4.17.3
Bus Collision During a Stop
Condition
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 21-33). 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 21-34).
Bus collision occurs during a Stop condition if:
a)
b)
After the SDAx pin has been deasserted and
allowed to float high, SDAx is sampled low after
the BRG has timed out.
After the SCLx pin is deasserted, SCLx is
sampled low before SDAx goes high.

ENHANCED UNIVERSAL
SYNCHRONOUS
ASYNCHRONOUS RECEIVER
TRANSMITTER (EUSART)
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.
The Enhanced USART module implements additional
features, including automatic baud rate detection and
calibration, automatic wake-up on Sync Break reception and 12-bit Break character transmit. These make it
ideally suited for use in Local Interconnect Network bus
(LIN/J2602 bus) systems.
All members of the PIC18F87K90 family are equipped
with two independent EUSART modules, referred to as
EUSART1 and EUSART2. They can be configured in
the following modes:
• Asynchronous (full duplex) with:
- Auto-wake-up on character reception
- Auto-baud calibration
- 12-bit Break character transmission
• Synchronous – Master (half duplex) with
selectable clock polarity
• Synchronous – Slave (half duplex) with selectable
clock polarity
The pins of EUSART1 and EUSART2 are multiplexed
with the functions of PORTC (RC6/TX1/CK1/
SEG27 and RC7/RX1/DT1/SEG28) and PORTG
(RG1/TX2/CK2/AN19/C3OUT and RG2/RX2/DT2/
AN18/C3INA), respectively. In order to configure
these pins as an EUSART:
• For EUSART1:
- SPEN (RCSTA1<7>) bit must be set (= 1)
- TRISC<7> bit must be set (= 1)
- TRISC<6> bit must be cleared (= 0) for
Asynchronous and Synchronous Master
modes
- TRISC<6> bit must be set (= 1) for
Synchronous Slave mode
• For EUSART2:
- SPEN (RCSTA2<7>) bit must be set (= 1)
- TRISG<2> bit must be set (= 1)
- TRISG<1> bit must be cleared (= 0) for
Asynchronous and Synchronous Master
modes
- TRISC<6> bit must be set (= 1) for
Synchronous Slave mode
Note:
The operation of each Enhanced USART module is
controlled through three registers:
• Transmit Status and Control (TXSTAx)
• Receive Status and Control (RCSTAx)
• Baud Rate Control (BAUDCONx)
These are detailed in Register 22-1, Register 22-2 and
Register 22-3, respectively, on the following pages.
Note:
 2009-2011 Microchip Technology Inc.
The EUSART control will automatically
reconfigure the pin from input to output as
needed.
Throughout this section, references to
register and bit names that may be associated with a specific EUSART module are
referred to generically by the use of ‘x’ in
place of the specific module number.
Thus, “RCSTAx” might refer to the
Receive Status register for either
EUSART1 or EUSART2.

22.1
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.
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 22-1 shows the formula for computation
of the baud rate for different EUSART modes which only
apply in Master mode (internally generated clock).
Given the desired baud rate and FOSC, the nearest
integer value for the SPBRGHx:SPBRGx registers can
be calculated using the formulas in Table 22-1. From this,
the error in baud rate can be determined. An example
calculation is shown in Example 22-1. Typical baud rates
and error values for the various Asynchronous modes
are shown in Table 22-2. It may be advantageous to use
the high baud rate (BRGH = 1) or the 16-bit BRG to
reduce the baud rate error, or achieve a slow baud rate
for a fast oscillator frequency.
TABLE 22-1:
Writing a new value to the SPBRGHx:SPBRGx registers
causes the BRG timer to be reset (or cleared). This
ensures the BRG does not wait for a timer overflow
before outputting the new baud rate. When operated in
Synchronous mode, SPBRGH:SPBRG values of 0000h
and 0001h are not supported. In the Asynchronous
mode, all BRG values may be used.
22.1.1
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.
22.1.2
SAMPLING
The data on the RXx pin (either RC7/RX1/DT1/SEG28
or RG2/RX2/DT2/AN18/C3INA) 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 22-1:
CALCULATING BAUD RATE ERROR
For a device with FOSC of 16 MHz, desired baud rate of 9600, Asynchronous mode, and 8-bit BRG:
Desired Baud Rate
= FOSC/(64 ([SPBRGHx:SPBRGx] + 1))
Solving for SPBRGHx:SPBRGx:
X = ((FOSC/Desired Baud Rate)/64) – 1
= ((16000000/9600)/64) – 1
= [25.042] = 25
Calculated Baud Rate = 16000000/(64 (25 + 1))
= 9615
Error
= (Calculated Baud Rate – Desired Baud Rate)/Desired Baud Rate
= (9615 – 9600)/9600 = 0.16%

22.1.3
AUTO-BAUD RATE DETECT
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.
The automatic baud rate measurement sequence
(Figure 22-1) begins whenever a Start bit is received
and the ABDEN bit is set. The calculation is
self-averaging.
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.
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.
2: It is up to the user to determine that the
incoming character baud rate is within the
range of the selected BRG clock source.
Some combinations of oscillator frequency and EUSART baud rates are not
possible due to bit error rates. Overall
system timing and communication baud
rates must be taken into consideration
when using the Auto-Baud Rate Detection
feature.
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.
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/J2602 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.
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 rollovers 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 22-2).
While calibrating the baud rate period, the BRG
registers are clocked at 1/8th the preconfigured clock
rate. Note that the BRG clock can be configured by the
BRG16 and BRGH bits. The BRG16 bit must be set to
use both SPBRG1 and SPBRGH1 as a 16-bit counter.
This allows the user to verify that no carry occurred for
8-bit modes by checking for 00h in the SPBRGHx
register. Refer to Table 22-4 for counter clock rates to
the BRG.

recommended to set the BRG16

feature is used.

ABD and EUSART Transmission
Since the BRG clock is reversed during ABD acquisition, 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.

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.
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 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 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
memory, so it is not available to the user.
When operating in Asynchronous mode, the EUSART
module consists of the following important elements:

EUSART ASYNCHRONOUS
RECEIVER
22.2.3
The receiver block diagram is shown in Figure 22-6.
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.
2. Enable the asynchronous serial port by clearing
the SYNC bit and setting the SPEN bit.
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.
7. The RCxIF bit will be set when reception is
complete. The interrupt will be Acknowledged if
the RCxIE and GIE bits are set.
8. Read the RCSTAx register to determine if any
error occurred during reception, as well as read
bit 9 of data (if applicable).
9. Read RCREGx to determine if the device is
being addressed.
10. If any error occurred, clear the CREN bit.
11. If the device has been addressed, clear the
ADDEN bit to allow all received data into the
receive buffer and interrupt the CPU.
To set up an Asynchronous Reception:
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.
2. Enable the asynchronous serial port by clearing
bit, SYNC, and setting bit, SPEN.
3. If interrupts are desired, set enable bit, RCxIE.
4. If 9-bit reception is desired, set bit, RX9.
5. Enable the reception by setting bit, CREN.
6. Flag bit, RCxIF, will be set when reception is
complete and an interrupt will be generated if
enable bit, RCxIE, was set.
7. Read the RCSTAx register to get the 9th bit (if
enabled) and determine if any error occurred
during reception.
8. Read the 8-bit received data by reading the
RCREGx register.
9. If any error occurred, clear the error by clearing
enable bit, CREN.
10. If using interrupts, ensure that the GIE and PEIE
bits in the INTCON register (INTCON<7:6>) are
set.

22.2.4
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 performed. 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.
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 RXx/DTx line. (This coincides with the start of a
Sync Break or a Wake-up Signal character for the
LIN/J2602 protocol.)
22.2.4.1
Special Considerations Using
Auto-Wake-up
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 bits) for standard RS-232 devices or 000h (12 bits)
for LIN/J2602 bus.
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.
Following a wake-up event, the module generates an
RCxIF interrupt. The interrupt is generated synchronously to the Q clocks in normal operating modes
(Figure 22-8) and asynchronously if the device is in
Sleep mode (Figure 22-9). The interrupt condition is
cleared by reading the RCREGx register.
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.
DS39957D-page 364
 2009-2011 Microchip Technology Inc.
PIC18F87K90 FAMILY
22.2.4.2
Special Considerations Using
the WUE Bit
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.
FIGURE 22-8:
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 Sleep mode.

22.2.5
BREAK CHARACTER SEQUENCE
The EUSART module has the capability of sending the
special Break character sequences that are required by
the LIN/J2602 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>, respectively) 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.
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/J2602 specification).
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 TRMT bit indicates when the transmit operation is
active or Idle, just as it does during normal transmission. See Figure 22-10 for the timing of the Break
character sequence.
22.2.5.1
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/J2602 bus
master.

Load the TXREGx with a dummy character to
initiate transmission (the value is ignored).
Write ‘55h’ to TXREGx to load the Sync
character into the transmit FIFO buffer.
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.
22.2.6
RECEIVING A BREAK CHARACTER
The Enhanced USART module can receive a Break
character in two ways.
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 second method uses the auto-wake-up feature
described in Section 22.2.4 “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.
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.
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 transmits 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 clearing the bit sets the Idle state as low. This option is
provided to support Microwire devices with this module.

The EUSART transmitter block diagram is shown in
Figure 22-3. The heart of the transmitter is the Transmit
(Serial) Shift Register (TSR). The TSR 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).

If a single reception is required, set bit, SREN.
For continuous reception, set bit, CREN.
7. Interrupt flag bit, RCxIF, will be set when reception is complete and an interrupt will be generated
if the enable bit, RCxIE, was set.
8. Read the RCSTAx register to get the 9th bit (if
enabled) and determine if any error occurred
during reception.
9. Read the 8-bit received data by reading the

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.
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.

EUSART Synchronous
Slave Mode
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 supplied 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.
22.4.1

The operation of the Synchronous Master and Slave
modes is identical, except in the case of Sleep mode.
To set up a Synchronous Slave Transmission:

If two words are written to the TXREGx and then the
SLEEP instruction is executed, the following will occur:
6.
a)
7.
b)
c)
d)
The first word will immediately transfer to the
TSR register and transmit.
The second word will remain in the TXREGx
register.
Flag bit, TXxIF, will not be set.
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.
TABLE 22-9:

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.

Enable the synchronous slave serial port by
setting bits, SYNC and SPEN, and clearing bit,
CSRC.
Clear bits, CREN and SREN.
If interrupts are desired, set enable bit, TXxIE.
If 9-bit transmission is desired, set bit, TX9.
Enable the transmission by setting enable bit,
TXEN.
If 9-bit transmission is selected, the ninth bit
should be loaded in bit, TX9D.
Start transmission by loading data to the

RECEPTION
To set up a Synchronous Slave Reception:
1.
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.
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.

3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
Enable the synchronous master serial port by
setting bits, SYNC and SPEN, and clearing bit,
CSRC.
If interrupts are desired, set enable bit, RCxIE.
If 9-bit reception is desired, set bit, RX9.
To enable reception, set enable bit, CREN.
Flag bit, RCxIF, will be set when reception is
complete. An interrupt will be generated if
enable bit, RCxIE, was set.
Read the RCSTAx register to get the 9th bit (if
enabled) and determine if any error occurred
during reception.
Read the 8-bit received data by reading the
RCREGx register.
If any error occurred, clear the error by clearing
bit, CREN.
If using interrupts, ensure that the GIE and PEIE

12-BIT ANALOG-TO-DIGITAL
CONVERTER (A/D) MODULE
The Analog-to-Digital (A/D) Converter module in the
PIC18F87K90 family of devices has 16 inputs for the
64-pin devices and 24 inputs for the 80-pin devices.
This module allows conversion of an analog input
signal to a corresponding signed 12-bit digital number.
The module has these registers:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•

A/D Control Register 0 (ADCON0)
A/D Control Register 1 (ADCON1)
A/D Control Register 2 (ADCON2)

A/D Port Configuration Register 1 (ANCON1)
A/D Port Configuration Register 2 (ANCON2)
ADRESH (the upper A/D Results register)
ADRESL (the lower A/D Results register)
The ADCON0 register, shown in Register 23-1, controls the operation of the A/D module. The ADCON1
register, shown in Register 23-2, configures the voltage
reference and special trigger selection. The ADCON2
register, shown in Register 23-3, configures the A/D
clock source and programmed acquisition time and
justification.
23.1
Differential A/D Converter
The converter in PIC18F87K90 family devices is
implemented as a differential A/D where the differential
voltage between two channels is measured and
converted to digital values (see Figure 23-1).
The converter can also be configured to measure a
voltage from a single input by clearing the CHSN bits
(ADCON1<2:0>). With this configuration, the negative
channel input is connected internally to AVSS (see
Figure 23-2).
FIGURE 23-1:

Differential conversion feeds the two input channels to
a unity gain differential amplifier. The positive channel
input is selected using the CHS bits (ADCON0<6:2>)
and the negative channel input is selected using the
CHSN bits (ADCON1<2:0>).
The output from the amplifier is fed to the A/D convert,
as shown in Figure 23-1. The 12-bit result is available
on the ADRESH and ADRESL registers. There is also
a sign bit, along with the 12-bit result, indicating if the
result is a positive or negative value.

a two's compliment binary value. This means that when
sign bits and magnitude bits are considered together in
right justification, the ADRESH and ADRESL can be
read as a single signed integer value.
When the A/D Converter is disabled, these 8-bit registers
can be used as two general purpose registers.

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. VREF+ has
two additional internal voltage reference selections:
2.048V and 4.096V.
The A/D Converter can uniquely operate while the
device is in Sleep mode. To operate in Sleep, the A/D
conversion clock must be derived from the A/D
Converter’s internal RC oscillator.
The output of the Sample-and-Hold (S/H) is the input
into the converter, which generates the result via
successive approximation.
Each port pin associated with the A/D Converter can be
configured as an analog input or a digital I/O. The
ADRESH and ADRESL registers contain the result of
the A/D conversion. When the A/D conversion is complete, the result is loaded into the ADRESH:ADRESL
register pair, the GO/DONE bit (ADCON0<1>) is
cleared and the A/D Interrupt Flag bit, ADIF (PIR1<6>),
is set.
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 block diagram of the A/D module is shown in

After the A/D module has been configured as desired,
the selected channel must be acquired before the
conversion can start. The analog input channels must
have their corresponding TRIS bits selected as inputs.
To determine acquisition time, see Section 23.3 “A/D
Acquisition Requirements”. After this acquisition
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.

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 23-5. 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 k. After the analog input channel is selected or
changed, the channel must be sampled for at least the
minimum acquisition time before starting a conversion.

Selecting and Configuring
Automatic Acquisition Time
The ADCON2 register allows the user to select an
acquisition time that occurs each time the GO/DONE
bit is set.
When the GO/DONE bit is set, sampling is stopped and
a conversion begins. The user is responsible for ensuring the required acquisition time has passed between
selecting the desired input channel and setting the
GO/DONE bit.
This
occurs
when
the
ACQT<2:0>
bits
(ADCON2<5:3>) remain in their Reset state (‘000’),
which is compatible with devices that do not offer
programmable acquisition times.

Operation
Note 1:
The RC source has a typical TAD time of
4 s.
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.
If desired, the ACQTx bits can be set to select a programmable 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 acquisition time is programmed, there may be no need to wait
for an acquisition time between selecting a channel and
setting the GO/DONE bit.
23.6
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, ANCON2, TRISA, TRISF,
TRISG and TRISH registers control the operation of the
A/D port pins. The port pins needed as analog inputs
must have their corresponding TRISx bits set (input). If
the TRISx bit is cleared (output), the digital output level
(VOH or VOL) will be converted.
23.5
The A/D operation is independent of the state of the
CHS<3:0> bits and the TRISx bits.
Selecting the A/D Conversion
Clock
The A/D conversion time per bit is defined as TAD. The
A/D conversion requires 14 TAD per 12-bit conversion.
The source of the A/D conversion clock is
software-selectable.
The possible options for TAD are:

Configuring Analog Port Pins
Note 1: When reading the PORT register, all pins
configured as analog input channels will
read as cleared (a low level). Pins configured as digital inputs will convert an
analog input. Analog levels on a digitally
configured input will be accurately
converted.
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.
For correct A/D conversions, the A/D conversion clock
(TAD) must be as short as possible but greater than the
minimum TAD. (For more information, see
Parameter 130 in Table 31-26.)
Table 23-1 shows the resultant TAD times derived from
the device operating frequencies and the A/D clock
source selected.

A/D Conversions
Figure 23-6 shows the operation of the A/D Converter
after the GO/DONE bit has been set and the
ACQT<2:0> bits are cleared. A conversion is started
after the following instruction to allow entry into Sleep
mode before the conversion begins.
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.
Figure 23-7 shows the operation of the A/D Converter
after the GO/DONE bit has been set, the ACQT<2:0>
bits set to ‘010’ and a 4 TAD acquisition time selected.

Use of the Special Event Triggers
A/D conversion can be started by the Special Event
Trigger of any of these modules:
• ECCP2 – Requires CCP2M<3:0> bits
(CCP2CON<3:0>) set at ‘1011’
• CTMU – Requires the setting of the CTTRIG bit
(CTMUCONH<0>)
• Timer1
• RTCC
To start an A/D conversion:
• The A/D module must be enabled (ADON = 1)
• The appropriate analog input channel is selected
• The minimum acquisition period is set in one of
these ways:
- Timing provided by the user
- Selection made of an appropriate TACQ time
With these conditions met, the trigger sets the
GO/DONE bit and the A/D acquisition starts.
If the A/D module is not enabled (ADON = 0), the
module ignores the Special Event Trigger.
Note:
With an ECCP2 trigger, Timer1 or Timer3
is cleared. The timers reset to automatically repeat the A/D acquisition period
with minimal software overhead (moving
ADRESH:ADRESL to the desired location). If the A/D module is not enabled, the
Special Event Trigger is ignored by the
module, but the timer’s counter resets.
 2009-2011 Microchip Technology Inc.
23.9
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.
If the A/D is expected to operate while the device is in
a power-managed mode, the ACQT<2:0> and
ADCS<2:0> bits in ADCON2 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 completed. If desired, the
device may be placed into the corresponding
power-managed Idle mode during the conversion.
If the power-managed mode clock frequency is less
than 1 MHz, the A/D RC clock source should be
selected.
Operation in Sleep mode requires that the A/D RC
clock be selected. If bits, ACQT<2:0>, are set to ‘000’
and a conversion is started, the conversion will be
delayed one instruction cycle to allow execution of the
SLEEP instruction and entry into Sleep mode. The
IDLEN and SCS<1:0> bits in the OSCCON register
must have already been cleared prior to starting the
conversion.

COMPARATOR MODULE
24.1
The analog comparator module contains three comparators 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 24-1.
Registers
The CMxCON registers (CM1CON, CM2CON and
CM3CON) select the input and output configuration for
each comparator, as well as the settings for interrupt
generation (see Register 24-1).
The CMSTAT register (Register 24-2) provides the output 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

Comparator Operation
24.3
Comparator Response Time
A single comparator is shown in Figure 24-2, 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 24-2, 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 comparator output has a valid level. The response time of
the comparator differs from the settling time of the
voltage reference. Therefore, both of these times must
be considered when determining the total response to
a comparator input change. Otherwise, the maximum
delay of the comparators should be used (see
Section 31.0 “Electrical Characteristics”).
FIGURE 24-2:
SINGLE COMPARATOR
24.4
–
A simplified circuit for an analog input is shown in
Figure 24-3. 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.

Comparator Control and
Configuration
Each comparator has up to eight possible combinations of inputs: up to four external analog inputs and
one of two internal voltage references.
All of the comparators allow a selection of the signal from
pin, CxINA, or the voltage from the Comparator Voltage
Reference (CVREF) on the non-inverting channel. This is
compared to either CxINB, CxINC, C2INB/C2IND or the
microcontroller’s fixed internal reference voltage (VBG,
1.024V nominal) on the inverting channel. The
comparator inputs and outputs are tied to fixed I/O pins,
defined in Table 24-1. The available comparator configurations and their corresponding bit settings are shown
in Figure 24-4.

COMPARATOR ENABLE AND
INPUT SELECTION
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 CCH<1:0> bits in the CMxCON register
(CMxCON<1:0>) direct either one of three analog input
pins, or the Internal Reference Voltage (VBG), to the
comparator, VIN-. Depending on the comparator
 2009-2011 Microchip Technology Inc.
operating mode, either an external or internal voltage
reference may be used. For external analog pins that
are unavailable in 64-pin devices (C1INC, C2INC and
C2IND), the corresponding configurations that use
them as inputs are unavailable.
The analog signal present at VIN- is compared to the
signal at VIN+ and the digital output of the comparator
is adjusted accordingly.
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
reference sources externally. The reference signal
must be between VSS and VDD, and can be applied to
either pin of the comparator.
The comparator module also allows the selection of an
internally generated voltage reference from the Comparator Voltage Reference (CVREF) module. This module is
described in more detail in Section 25.0 “Comparator
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.
Note:
24.5.2
The comparator input pin, selected by
CCH<1:0>, must be configured as an input
by setting both the corresponding TRISF,
TRISG or TRISH bit and the corresponding
ANSELx bit in the ANCONx register.
COMPARATOR ENABLE AND
OUTPUT SELECTION
The comparator outputs are read through the CMSTAT
register. The CMSTAT<5> bit reads the Comparator 1
output, CMSTAT<6> reads Comparator 2 output and
CMSTAT<7> reads Comparator 3 output. These bits
are read-only.
The comparator outputs may also be directly output to
the RF2, RF1 and RG1 I/O pins by setting the COE bit
(CMxCON<6>). When enabled, multiplexers in the
output path of the pins switch to the output of the
comparator. While in this mode, the TRISF<2:1> and
TRISG<1> bits still function as the digital output enable
bits for the RF2, RF1 and RG1 pins.
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 24.2
“Comparator Operation”.

Comparator Interrupts
The comparator interrupt flag is set whenever any of
the following occurs:
• 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
EVPOL<1:0> 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.
An interrupt is generated on the low-to-high or high-tolow transition of the comparator output. This mode of
interrupt generation is dependent on EVPOL<1:0> in
the CMxCON register. When EVPOL<1:0> = 01 or 10,
the interrupt is generated on a low-to-high or high-tolow transition of the comparator output. Once the
interrupt is generated, it is required to clear the interrupt
flag by software.
TABLE 24-2:
CPOL
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 information about the status of the output bits, as read from
CMSTAT<7:5>, to determine the actual change that
occurred.
The CMPxIF bits (PIR6<2:0>) are the Comparator
Interrupt Flags. The CMPxIF 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 24-2 shows the interrupt generation with respect
to comparator input voltages and EVPOL bit settings.
Both the CMPxIE bits (PIE6<2:0>) and the PEIE bit
(INTCON<6>) must be set to enable the interrupt. In
addition, the GIE bit (INTCON<7>) must also be set. If
any of these bits are clear, the interrupt is not enabled,
though the CMPxIF bits will still be set if an interrupt
condition occurs.
A simplified diagram of the interrupt section is shown in
Figure 24-3.
Note: CMPxIF will not be set when EVPOL<1:0> = 00.

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.
Comparator Operation
During Sleep
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.

COMPARATOR VOLTAGE
REFERENCE MODULE
EQUATION 25-1:
If CVRSS = 1:
The comparator voltage reference is a 32-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.
A block diagram of the module is shown in Figure 25-1.
The resistor ladder is segmented to provide a range 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.
25.1
Configuring the Comparator
Voltage Reference
The comparator voltage reference module is controlled
through the CVRCON register (Register 25-1). The
comparator voltage reference provides a range of
output voltage with 32 levels.
CVREF = (VREF-) + (CVR<4:0>/32) • (VREF+ – VREF-)
If CVRSS = 0:
CVREF = (AVSS) + (CVR<4:0>/32) • (AVDD – AVSS)
The comparator reference supply voltage can come
from either VDD and VSS, or the external VREF+ and
VREF- that are multiplexed with RA3 and RA2. The
voltage source is selected by the CVRSS bit
(CVRCON<5>).
The settling time of the comparator voltage reference
must be considered when changing the CVREF
output (see Table 31-2 in Section 31.0 “Electrical
Characteristics”).
The CVR<4:0> selection bits (CVRCON<4:0>) offer a
range of output voltages. Equation 25-1 shows how the
comparator voltage reference is computed.

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 25-1) keep CVREF from approaching the reference 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 31.0 “Electrical Characteristics”.
25.3
Operation During Sleep
When the device wakes up from Sleep through an
interrupt or a Watchdog Timer time-out, the contents of
the CVRCON register are not affected. To minimize
current consumption in Sleep mode, the voltage
reference should be disabled.
DS39957D-page 398
25.4
Effects of a Reset
A device Reset disables the voltage reference by
clearing bit, CVREN (CVRCON<7>). This Reset also
disconnects the reference from the RF5 pin by clearing
bit, CVROE (CVRCON<6>).
25.5
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 output onto RF5, 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.
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 25-2 shows an example buffering technique.

HIGH/LOW-VOLTAGE DETECT
(HLVD)
The PIC18F87K90 family of devices has a High/LowVoltage Detect module (HLVD). This is a programmable
circuit that sets both a device voltage trip point and the
direction of change from that point. If the device experiences an excursion past the trip point in that direction, an
interrupt flag is set. If the interrupt is enabled, the
program execution branches to the interrupt vector
address and the software responds to the interrupt.

The module is enabled by setting the HLVDEN bit
(HLVDCON<4>). Each time the HLVD module is
enabled, the circuitry requires some time to stabilize.
The IRVST bit (HLVDCON<5>) is a read-only bit used
to indicate when the circuit is stable. The module can
only generate an interrupt after the circuit is stable and
IRVST is set.
trip point voltage. The “trip point” voltage is the voltage
level at which the device detects a high or low-voltage
event, depending on the configuration of the module.
When the supply voltage is equal to the trip point, the
voltage tapped off of the resistor array is equal to the
internal reference voltage generated by the voltage
reference module. The comparator then generates an
interrupt signal by setting the HLVDIF bit.
The VDIRMAG bit (HLVDCON<7>) determines the
overall operation of the module. When VDIRMAG is
cleared, the module monitors for drops in VDD below a
predetermined set point. When the bit is set, the
module monitors for rises in VDD above the set point.
26.1
The trip point voltage is software programmable to any of
16 values. The trip point is selected by programming the
HLVDL<3:0> bits (HLVDCON<3:0>).
The HLVD module has an additional feature that allows
the user to supply the trip voltage to the module from an
external source. This mode is enabled when bits,
HLVDL<3:0>, are set to ‘1111’. In this state, the
comparator input is multiplexed from the external input
pin, HLVDIN. This gives users the flexibility of configuring the High/Low-Voltage Detect interrupt to occur at
any voltage in the valid operating range.
Operation
When the HLVD module is enabled, a comparator uses
an internally generated reference voltage as the set
point. The set point is compared with the trip point,
where each node in the resistor divider represents a

26.2
Depending on the application, the HLVD module does
not need to operate constantly. To reduce current
requirements, the HLVD circuitry may only need to be
enabled for short periods where the voltage is checked.
After such a check, the module could be disabled.
HLVD Setup
To set up the HLVD module:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Select the desired HLVD trip point by writing the
value to the HLVDL<3:0> bits.
Set the VDIRMAG bit to detect high voltage
(VDIRMAG = 1) or low voltage (VDIRMAG = 0).
Enable the HLVD module by setting the
HLVDEN bit.
Clear the HLVD interrupt flag (PIR2<2>), which
may have been set from a previous interrupt.
If interrupts are desired, enable the HLVD
interrupt by setting the HLVDIE and GIE bits
(PIE2<2> and INTCON<7>, respectively).
26.4
The internal reference voltage of the HLVD module,
specified in electrical specification Parameter 37
(Section 31.0 “Electrical Characteristics”), may be
used by other internal circuitry, such as the
programmable Brown-out Reset. If the HLVD or other
circuits using the voltage reference are disabled to
lower the device’s current consumption, the reference
voltage circuit will require time to become stable before
a low or high-voltage condition can be reliably
detected. This start-up time, TIRVST, is an interval that
is independent of device clock speed. It is specified in
electrical specification Parameter 36 (Table 31-10).
An interrupt will not be generated until the
IRVST bit is set.
Note:
26.3
HLVD Start-up Time
Before changing any module settings
(VDIRMAG, HLVDL<3:0>), first disable the
module (HLVDEN = 0), make the changes
and re-enable the module. This prevents
the generation of false HLVD events.
The HLVD interrupt flag is not enabled until TIRVST has
expired and a stable reference voltage is reached. For
this reason, brief excursions beyond the set point may
not be detected during this interval (see Figure 26-2 or
Figure 26-3).
Current Consumption
When the module is enabled, the HLVD comparator
and voltage divider are enabled and consume static
current. The total current consumption, when enabled,
is specified in electrical specification Parameter D022B
(Table 31-10).

Applications
In many applications, it is desirable to detect a drop
below, or rise above, a particular voltage threshold. For
example, the HLVD module could be periodically
enabled to detect Universal Serial Bus (USB) attach or
detach. This assumes the device is powered by a lower
voltage source than the USB when detached. An attach
would indicate a High-Voltage Detect from, for
example, 3.3V to 5V (the voltage on USB) and vice
versa for a detach. This feature could save a design a
few extra components and an attach signal (input pin).
For general battery applications, Figure 26-4 shows a
possible voltage curve. Over time, the device voltage
decreases. When the device voltage reaches voltage,
VA, the HLVD logic generates an interrupt at time, TA.
The interrupt could cause the execution of an ISR
(Interrupt Service Routine), which would allow the
application to perform “housekeeping tasks” and a
controlled shutdown before the device voltage exits the
valid operating range at TB. This would give the application a time window, represented by the difference
between TA and TB, to safely exit.

26.7
When enabled, the HLVD circuitry continues to operate
during Sleep. If the device voltage crosses the trip
point, the HLVDIF bit will be set and the device will
wake-up from Sleep. Device execution will continue

been globally enabled.

CHARGE TIME
MEASUREMENT UNIT (CTMU)
The Charge Time Measurement Unit (CTMU) is a
flexible analog module that provides accurate differential time measurement between pulse sources, as well
as asynchronous pulse generation. By working with
other on-chip analog modules, the CTMU can precisely
measure time, capacitance and relative changes in
capacitance or generate output pulses with a specific
time delay. The CTMU is ideal for interfacing with
capacitive-based sensors.
The CTMU works in conjunction with the A/D Converter
to provide up to 24 channels for time or charge
measurement, depending on the specific device and
the number of A/D channels available. When configured for time delay, the CTMU is connected to one of
the analog comparators. The level-sensitive input edge
sources can be selected from four sources: two
external inputs or the ECCP1/ECCP2 Special Event
Triggers.
The module includes these key features:
• Up to 24 channels available for capacitive or time
measurement input
• On-chip precision current source
• Four-edge input trigger sources
• Polarity control for each edge source
• Control of edge sequence

CTMU Operation
The CTMU works by using a fixed current source to
charge a circuit. The type of circuit depends on the type
of measurement being made.
In the case of charge measurement, the current is fixed
and the amount of time the current is applied to the circuit is fixed. The amount of voltage read by the A/D
becomes a measurement of the circuit’s capacitance.
In the case of time measurement, the current, as well
as the capacitance of the circuit, is fixed. In this case,
the voltage read by the A/D is representative of the
amount of time elapsed from the time the current
source starts and stops charging the circuit.
If the CTMU is being used as a time delay, both capacitance and current source are fixed, as well as the voltage
supplied to the comparator circuit. The delay of a signal
is determined by the amount of time it takes the voltage
to charge to the comparator threshold voltage.
27.2.1
THEORY OF OPERATION
The operation of the CTMU is based on the equation
for charge:
C=I•
dV
dT
More simply, the amount of charge measured in
coulombs in a circuit is defined as current in amperes
(I) multiplied by the amount of time in seconds that the
current flows (t). Charge is also defined as the capacitance in farads (C) multiplied by the voltage of the
circuit (V). It follows that:
I•t=C•V
The CTMU module provides a constant, known current
source. The A/D Converter is used to measure (V) in
the equation, leaving two unknowns: capacitance (C)
and time (t). The above equation can be used to calculate capacitance or time, by either the relationship
using the known fixed capacitance of the circuit:
t = (C • V)/I
or by:
C = (I • t)/V
using a fixed time that the current source is applied to
the circuit.
27.2.2
CURRENT SOURCE
At the heart of the CTMU is a precision current source,
designed to provide a constant reference for measurements. The level of current is user-selectable across
three ranges or a total of two orders of magnitude, with
the ability to trim the output in ±2% increments
(nominal). The current range is selected by the
IRNG<1:0> bits (CTMUICON<1:0>), with a value of
‘00’ representing the lowest range.
 2009-2011 Microchip Technology Inc.
Current trim is provided by the ITRIM<5:0> bits
(CTMUICON<7:2>). These six bits allow trimming of
the current source in steps of approximately 2% per
step. Half of the range adjusts the current source positively and the other half reduces the current source. A
value of ‘000000’ is the neutral position (no change). A
value of ‘100000’ is the maximum negative adjustment
(approximately -62%) and ‘011111’ is the maximum
positive adjustment (approximately +62%).
27.2.3
EDGE SELECTION AND CONTROL
CTMU measurements are controlled by edge events
occurring on the module’s two input channels. Each
channel, referred to as Edge 1 and Edge 2, can be configured to receive input pulses from one of the edge
input pins (CTED1 and CTED2) or CCPx Special Event
Triggers. The input channels are level-sensitive,
responding to the instantaneous level on the channel
rather than a transition between levels. The inputs are
selected using the EDG1SEL and EDG2SEL bit pairs
(CTMUCONL<3:2, 6:5>).
In addition to source, each channel can be configured for
event polarity using the EDGE2POL and EDGE1POL
bits (CTMUCONL<7,4>). The input channels can also
be filtered for an edge event sequence (Edge 1
occurring before Edge 2) by setting the EDGSEQEN bit
(CTMUCONH<2>).
27.2.4
EDGE STATUS
The CTMUCON register also contains two status bits,
EDG2STAT and EDG1STAT (CTMUCONL<1:0>).
Their primary function is to show if an edge response
has occurred on the corresponding channel. The
CTMU automatically sets a particular bit when an edge
response is detected on its channel. The level-sensitive
nature of the input channels also means that the status
bits become set immediately if the channel’s configuration is changed and matches the channel’s current
state.
The module uses the edge status bits to control the current source output to external analog modules (such as
the A/D Converter). Current is only supplied to external
modules when only one (not both) of the status bits is
set. Current is shut off when both bits are either set or
cleared. This allows the CTMU to measure current only
during the interval between edges. After both status
bits are set, it is necessary to clear them before another
measurement is taken. Both bits should be cleared
simultaneously, if possible, to avoid re-enabling the
CTMU current source.
In addition to being set by the CTMU hardware, the
edge status bits can also be set by software. This permits a user application to manually enable or disable
the current source. Setting either (but not both) of the
bits enables the current source. Setting or clearing both
bits at once disables the source.
DS39957D-page 411
PIC18F87K90 FAMILY
27.2.5
INTERRUPTS
The CTMU sets its interrupt flag (PIR3<3>) whenever
the current source is enabled, then disabled. An interrupt is generated only if the corresponding interrupt
enable bit (PIE3<3>) is also set. If edge sequencing is
not enabled (i.e., Edge 1 must occur before Edge 2), it
is necessary to monitor the edge status bits and
determine which edge occurred last and caused the
interrupt.
27.3
CTMU Module Initialization
The following sequence is a general guideline used to
initialize the CTMU module:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Select the current source range using the
IRNGx bits (CTMUICON<1:0>).
Adjust the current source trim using the ITRIMx
bits (CTMUICON<7:2>).
Configure the edge input sources for Edge 1 and
Edge 2 by setting the EDG1SEL and EDG2SEL
bits (CTMUCONL<3:2> and <6:5>, respectively).
Configure the input polarities for the edge inputs
using the EDG2POL and EDG1POL bits
(CTMUCONL<7,4>).
The default configuration is for negative edge
polarity (high-to-low transitions).
5.
Enable edge sequencing using the EDGSEQEN
bit (CTMUCONH<2>).
By default, edge sequencing is disabled.
6.
Select the operating mode (Measurement or
Time Delay) with the TGEN bit.
The default mode is the Time/Capacitance
Measurement.
7.
Configure the module to automatically trigger
an A/D conversion when the second edge
event has occurred using the CTTRIG bit
(CTMUCONH<0>).
The conversion trigger is disabled by default.
8.
9.
10.
11.
12.
13.
Discharge the connected circuit by setting the
IDISSEN bit (CTMUCONH<1>).
After waiting a sufficient time for the circuit to
discharge, clear IDISSEN.
Disable the module by clearing the CTMUEN bit
(CTMUCONH<7>).
Clear the Edge Status bits, EDG2STAT and
EDG1STAT (CTMUCONL<1:0>).
Enable both edge inputs by setting the EDGEN
bit (CTMUCONH<3>).
Enable the module by setting the CTMUEN bit.
DS39957D-page 412
Depending on the type of measurement or pulse
generation being performed, one or more additional
modules may also need to be initialized and configured
with the CTMU module:
• Edge Source Generation: In addition to the
external edge input pins, CCPx Special Event
Triggers can be used as edge sources for the
CTMU.
• Capacitance or Time Measurement: The CTMU
module uses the A/D Converter to measure the
voltage across a capacitor that is connected to one
of the analog input channels.
• Pulse Generation: When generating system clock
independent, output pulses, the CTMU module
uses Comparator 2 and the associated
comparator voltage reference.
27.4
Calibrating the CTMU Module
The CTMU requires calibration for precise measurements of capacitance and time, as well as for accurate
time delay. If the application only requires measurement
of a relative change in capacitance or time, calibration is
usually not necessary. An example of a lesser precision
application is a capacitive touch switch, in which the
touch circuit has a baseline capacitance and the added
capacitance of the human body changes the overall
capacitance of a circuit.
If actual capacitance or time measurement is required,
two hardware calibrations must take place:
• The current source needs calibration to set it to a
precise current.
• The circuit being measured needs calibration to
measure or nullify any capacitance other than that
to be measured.
27.4.1
CURRENT SOURCE CALIBRATION
The current source on board the CTMU module has a
range of ±60% nominal for each of three current
ranges. For precise measurements, it is possible to
measure and adjust this current source by placing a
high-precision resistor, RCAL, onto an unused analog
channel. An example circuit is shown in Figure 27-2.
To measure the current source:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
Initialize the A/D Converter.
Initialize the CTMU.
Enable the current source by setting EDG1STAT
(CTMUCONL<0>).
Issue the settling time delay.
Perform the A/D conversion.
Calculate the current source current using
I = V/RCAL, where RCAL is a high-precision
resistance and V is measured by performing an
A/D conversion.
 2009-2011 Microchip Technology Inc.
PIC18F87K90 FAMILY
The CTMU current source may be trimmed with the
trim bits in CTMUICON using an iterative process to get
the exact current desired. Alternatively, the nominal
value without adjustment may be used. That value may
be stored by software for use in all subsequent
capacitive or time measurements.
To calculate the value for RCAL, the nominal current
must be chosen. Then, the resistance can be
calculated.
For example, if the A/D Converter reference voltage is
3.3V, use 70% of full scale (or 2.31V) as the desired
approximate voltage to be read by the A/D Converter. If
the range of the CTMU current source is selected to be
0.55 A, the resistor value needed is calculated as,
RCAL = 2.31V/0.55 A, for a value of 4.2 MΩ. Similarly,
if the current source is chosen to be 5.5 A, RCAL would
be 420,000Ω, and 42,000Ω if the current source is set
to 55 A.
FIGURE 27-2:
CTMU CURRENT SOURCE
CALIBRATION CIRCUIT
PIC18F87K90
Current Source
A value of 70% of full-scale voltage is chosen to make
sure that the A/D Converter was in a range that is well
above the noise floor. If an exact current is chosen to
incorporate the trimming bits from CTMUICON, the
resistor value of RCAL may need to be adjusted accordingly. RCAL may also be adjusted to allow for available
resistor values. RCAL should be of the highest precision
available, in light of the precision needed for the circuit
that the CTMU will be measuring. A recommended
minimum would be 0.1% tolerance.
The following examples show a typical method for
performing a CTMU current calibration.
• Example 27-1 demonstrates how to initialize the
A/D Converter and the CTMU.
This routine is typical for applications using both
modules.
• Example 27-2 demonstrates one method for the
actual calibration routine.
This method manually triggers the A/D Converter to
demonstrate the entire step-wise process. It is also
possible to automatically trigger the conversion by
setting the CTMU’s CTTRIG bit (CTMUCONH<0>).

27.4.2
CAPACITANCE CALIBRATION
There is a small amount of capacitance from the
internal A/D Converter sample capacitor, as well as
stray capacitance from the circuit board traces and
pads that affect the precision of capacitance measurements. A measurement of the stray capacitance can be
taken by making sure the desired capacitance to be
measured has been removed.
After removing the capacitance to be measured:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
Initialize the A/D Converter and the CTMU.
Set EDG1STAT (= 1).
Wait for a fixed delay of time, t.
Clear EDG1STAT.
Perform an A/D conversion.
Calculate the stray and A/D sample capacitances:
COFFSET = CSTRAY + CAD = (I • t)/V
This measured value is then stored and used for
calculations of time measurement or subtracted for
capacitance measurement. For calibration, it is
expected that the capacitance of CSTRAY + CAD is
approximately known; CAD is approximately 4 pF.
An iterative process may be required to adjust the time,
t, that the circuit is charged to obtain a reasonable voltage reading from the A/D Converter. The value of t may
be determined by setting COFFSET to a theoretical value
and solving for t. For example, if CSTRAY is theoretically
calculated to be 11 pF, and V is expected to be 70% of
VDD or 2.31V, t would be:
(4 pF + 11 pF) • 2.31V/0.55 A
or 63 s.
See Example 27-3 for a typical routine for CTMU
capacitance calibration.

• I is known from the current source measurement

27.5
Measuring Capacitance with the
CTMU
There are two ways to measure capacitance with the
CTMU. The absolute method measures the actual
capacitance value. The relative method only measures
for any change in the capacitance.
27.5.1
ABSOLUTE CAPACITANCE
MEASUREMENT
For absolute capacitance measurements, both the
current and capacitance calibration steps, found in
Section 27.4 “Calibrating the CTMU Module”,
should be followed.
To perform these measurements:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
Initialize the A/D Converter.
Initialize the CTMU.
Set EDG1STAT.
Wait for a fixed delay, T.
Clear EDG1STAT.
Perform an A/D conversion.
Calculate the total capacitance, CTOTAL = (I * T)/V,
where:
• I is known from the current source
measurement step (Section 27.4.1 “Current
Source Calibration”)
• T is a fixed delay
• V is measured by performing an A/D
conversion
Subtract the stray and A/D capacitance
(COFFSET from Section 27.4.2 “Capacitance
Calibration”) from CTOTAL to determine the
measured capacitance.
DS39957D-page 418
27.5.2
RELATIVE CHARGE
MEASUREMENT
Not all applications require precise capacitance
measurements. When detecting a valid press of a
capacitance-based switch, only a relative change of
capacitance needs to be detected.
In such an application, when the switch is open (or not
touched), the total capacitance is the capacitance of the
combination of the board traces, the A/D Converter and
other elements. A larger voltage will be measured by the
A/D Converter. When the switch is closed (or touched),
the total capacitance is larger due to the addition of the
capacitance of the human body to the above listed
capacitances and a smaller voltage will be measured by
the A/D Converter.
To detect capacitance changes simply:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Initialize the A/D Converter and the CTMU.
Set EDG1STAT.
Wait for a fixed delay.
Clear EDG1STAT.
Perform an A/D conversion.
The voltage measured by performing the A/D conversion is an indication of the relative capacitance. In this
case, no calibration of the current source or circuit
capacitance measurement is needed. (For a sample
software routine for a capacitive touch switch, see
Example 27-4.)

Measuring Time with the CTMU
Module
Time can be precisely measured after the ratio (C/I) is
measured from the current and capacitance calibration
step. To do that:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Initialize the A/D Converter and the CTMU.
Set EDG1STAT.
Set EDG2STAT.
Perform an A/D conversion.
Calculate the time between edges as T = (C/I) • V,
where:
• I is calculated in the current calibration step
(Section 27.4.1 “Current Source Calibration”)
• C is calculated in the capacitance calibration step
(Section 27.4.2 “Capacitance Calibration”)
• V is measured by performing the A/D conversion
FIGURE 27-3:
It is assumed that the time measured is small enough
that the capacitance, COFFSET, provides a valid voltage
to the A/D Converter. For the smallest time measurement, always set the A/D Channel Select register
(AD1CHS) to an unused A/D channel, the corresponding pin for which is not connected to any circuit board
trace. This minimizes added stray capacitance,
keeping the total circuit capacitance close to that of the
A/D Converter itself (25 pF).
To measure longer time intervals, an external capacitor
may be connected to an A/D channel and that channel
selected whenever making a time measurement.

27.7
An example use of the external capacitor feature is
interfacing with variable capacitive-based sensors,
such as a humidity sensor. As the humidity varies, the
pulse-width output on CTPLS will vary. An example use
of the CTDIN feature is interfacing with a digital sensor.
The CTPLS output pin can be connected to an input
capture pin and the varying pulse width measured to
determine the humidity in the application.
Creating a Delay with the CTMU
Module
A unique feature on board the CTMU module is its ability
to generate system clock independent output pulses,
based on either an internal voltage or an external capacitor value. When using an external voltage, this is
accomplished using the CTDIN input pin as a trigger for
the pulse delay. When using an internal capacitor
value, this is accomplished using the internal comparator voltage reference module and Comparator 2 input
pin. The pulse is output onto the CTPLS pin. To enable
this mode, set the TGEN bit.
To use this feature:
1.
2.
3.
See Figure 27-4 for an example circuit. When
CTMUDS (ODCON3<0>) is cleared, the pulse delay is
determined by the output of Comparator 2, and when it
is set, the pulse delay is determined by the input of
CTDIN. CDELAY is chosen by the user to determine the
output pulse width on CTPLS. The pulse width is calculated by T = (CDELAY/I) * V, where I is known from the
current source measurement step (Section 27.4.1
“Current Source Calibration”) and V is the internal
reference voltage (CVREF).
FIGURE 27-4:

If CTMUDS is cleared, initialize Comparator 2.
If CTMUDS is cleared, initialize the comparator
voltage reference.
Initialize the CTMU and enable time delay
generation by setting the TGEN bit.
Set EDG1STAT.
When CTMUDS is cleared, as soon as CDELAY charges
to the value of the voltage reference trip point, an output
pulse is generated on CTPLS. When CTMUDS is set, as
soon as CTDIN is set, an output pulse is generated on
CTPLS.

Measuring Temperature Using the
CTMU Module
The CTMU, along with an internal diode, can be used
to measure the temperature. The ADC can be connected to the internal diode and the CTMU module can
EXAMPLE 27-5:
source the current to the diode. The ADC reading will
reflect the temperature. With the increase, the ADC
readings will go low. This can be used for low-cost
temperature measurement applications.
ROUTINE FOR TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT USING INTERNAL DIODE
//Initialize CTMU
CTMUICON=0x03;
CTMUCONHbits.CTMUEN=1;

//Initialize ADC

ADCON2=0xBE;
//ADCON and connect to Internal diode
//Right justified
ADCON0bits.GO=1;
while(ADCON0bits.GO==1);
Temp=ADRES;
;//read ADC results ( inversely proportional to temperature)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: The temperature diode is not calibrated; the user will have to calibrate the diode to their application.

27.9
Operation During Sleep/Idle Modes
27.9.1
SLEEP MODE
When the device enters any Sleep mode, the CTMU
module current source is always disabled. If the CTMU
is performing an operation that depends on the current
source when Sleep mode is invoked, the operation may
not terminate correctly. Capacitance and time
measurements may return erroneous values.
27.9.2
IDLE MODE
The behavior of the CTMU in Idle mode is determined
by the CTMUSIDL bit (CTMUCONH<5>). If CTMUSIDL
is cleared, the module will continue to operate in Idle
mode. If CTMUSIDL is set, the module’s current source
is disabled when the device enters Idle mode. If the
TABLE 27-1:
Name
module is performing an operation when Idle mode is
invoked, in this case, the results will be similar to those
with Sleep mode.
27.10 Effects of a Reset on CTMU
Upon Reset, all registers of the CTMU are cleared. This
disables the CTMU module, turns off its current source
and returns all configuration options to their default settings. The module needs to be re-initialized following
any Reset.
If the CTMU is in the process of taking a measurement at
the time of Reset, the measurement will be lost. A partial
charge may exist on the circuit that was being measured,
which should be properly discharged before the CTMU
makes subsequent attempts to make a measurement.
The circuit is discharged by setting and clearing the
IDISSEN bit (CTMUCONH<1>) while the A/D Converter
is connected to the appropriate channel.

PIC18F87K90 FAMILY
28.0
SPECIAL FEATURES OF THE
CPU
The PIC18F87K90 family of devices includes several
features intended to maximize reliability and minimize
cost through elimination of external components.
These include:
• Oscillator Selection
• Resets:
- Power-on Reset (POR)
- Power-up Timer (PWRT)
- Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST)
- Brown-out Reset (BOR)
• Interrupts
• Watchdog Timer (WDT) and On-Chip Regulator
• Fail-Safe Clock Monitor
• Two-Speed Start-up
• Code Protection
• ID Locations
• In-Circuit Serial Programming™ (ICSP™)
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 3.0
“Oscillator Configurations”.
28.1
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.
The user will note that address, 300000h, is beyond the
user program memory space. In fact, it belongs to the
configuration memory space (300000h-3FFFFFh),
which can only be accessed using table reads and
table writes.
Software programming the Configuration registers is
done in a manner similar to programming the Flash
memory. The WR bit in the EECON1 register starts a
self-timed write to the Configuration register. In normal
operation mode, a TBLWT instruction, with the TBLPTR
pointing to the Configuration register, sets up the
address and the data for the Configuration register write.
Setting the WR bit starts a long write to the Configuration
register. The Configuration registers are written a byte at
a time. To write or erase a configuration cell, a TBLWT
instruction can write a ‘1’ or a ‘0’ into the cell. For
additional details on Flash programming, refer to
Section 7.5 “Writing to Flash 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 PIC18F87K90 family of
devices has a Watchdog Timer, which is either permanently enabled via the Configuration bits or software
controlled (if configured as disabled).
The inclusion of an internal RC (LF-INTOSC) 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.
All of these features are enabled and configured by
setting the appropriate Configuration register bits.

Watchdog Timer (WDT)
For the PIC18F87K90 family of devices, the WDT is
driven by the LF-INTOSC source. When the WDT is
enabled, the clock source is also enabled. The nominal
WDT period is 4 ms and has the same stability as the
LF-INTOSC oscillator.
The 4 ms period of the WDT is multiplied by a 16-bit
postscaler. Any output of the WDT postscaler is
selected by a multiplexer, controlled by bits in
Configuration Register 2H. Available periods range
from 4 ms to 4,194 seconds (about one hour). The
WDT and postscaler are cleared when any of the
following events occur: a SLEEP or CLRWDT instruction
is executed, the IRCF bits (OSCCON<6:4>) are
changed or a clock failure has occurred.
The WDT can be operated in one of four modes as
determined by the CONFIG2H bits (WDTEN<1:0>) The
four modes are:
• WDT Enabled
• WDT Disabled
• WDT under Software Control (WDTCON<0>,
SWDTEN)
• WDT
- Enabled during normal operation
- Disabled during Sleep
Note 1: The CLRWDT and SLEEP instructions
clear the WDT and postscaler counts
when executed.
2: Changing the setting of the IRCF bits
(OSCCON<6:4>) clears the WDT and
postscaler counts.
3: When a CLRWDT instruction is executed,
the postscaler count will be cleared.

On-Chip Voltage Regulator
All of the PIC18F87K90 family devices power their core
digital logic at a nominal 3.3V. For designs that are
required to operate at a higher typical voltage, such as
5V, all family devices incorporate two on-chip regulators that allow the device to run its core logic from VDD.
Those regulators are:

• Normal On-Chip Regulator
• Ultra Low-Power, On-Chip Regulator
The hardware configuration of these regulators is the
same and is explained in Section 28.3.1 “Regulator

differences relate to when the device enters Sleep, as
explained in Section 28.3.2.

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 capacitor must be connected to the VDDCORE/VCAP pin (see
Figure 28-2). This helps maintain the regulator’s
stability. The recommended value for the filter capacitor
is given in Section 31.2 DC Characteristics.
28.3.1.2
VSS
Note 1:
These are typical operating voltages. For the
full operating ranges of VDD and VDDCORE,
see Section 31.2 “DC Characteristics”.
Regulator Disable Mode
If ENVREG is tied to VSS, the regulator is disabled. In
this case, a 0.1 F capacitor should be connected to
the VDDCORE/VCAP pin (see Figure 28-2).
When the regulator is being used, the overall voltage
budget is very tight. The regulator should operate the
device down to 1.8V. When VDD drops below 3.3V, the
regulator no longer regulates, but the output voltage follows the input until VDD reaches 1.8V. Below this voltage,
the output of the regulator output may drop to 0V.

28.3.2
OPERATION OF REGULATOR IN
SLEEP
The difference in the two regulators’ operation arises
with Sleep mode. The ultra low-power regulator gives
the device the lowest current in the Regulator Enabled
mode.
The on-chip regulator can go into a lower power mode,
when the device goes to Sleep, by setting the REGSLP
bit (WDTCON<7>). This puts the regulator in a standby
mode so that the device consumes much less current.
The on-chip regulator can also go into the Ultra LowPower mode, which consumes the lowest current
possible with the regulator enabled. This mode is
controlled by the RETEN bit (CONFIG1L<0>) and
SRETEN bit (WDTCON<4>).
TABLE 28-3:
Regulator
The various modes of regulator operation are shown in
Table 28-3.
When the ultra low-power regulator is in Sleep mode,
the internal reference voltages in the chip will be shut
off and any interrupts referring to the internal reference
will not wake up the device. If the BOR or LVD is
enabled, the regulator will keep the internal references
on and the lowest possible current will not be achieved.
When using the ultra low-power regulator in Sleep
mode, the device will take about 250 s, typical, to start
executing the code after it wakes up.

In all other power-managed modes, Two-Speed Startup 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.
Two-Speed Start-up
The Two-Speed Start-up feature helps to minimize the
latency period, from oscillator start-up to code execution,
by allowing the microcontroller to use the INTOSC
(LF-INTOSC, MF-INTOSC, HF-INTOSC) oscillator as a
clock source, until the primary clock source is available.
It is enabled by setting the IESO Configuration bit.
28.4.1
Two-Speed Start-up should be enabled only if the
primary oscillator mode is LP, XT or HS (Crystal-Based
modes). Other sources do not require an OST start-up
delay; for these, Two-Speed Start-up should be disabled.
While using the INTOSC oscillator in Two-Speed Startup, the device still obeys the normal command
sequences for entering power-managed modes,
including multiple SLEEP instructions (refer to
Section 4.1.4 “Multiple Sleep Commands”). In
practice, this means that user code can change the
SCS<1:0> bit settings or issue SLEEP instructions
before the OST times out. This would allow an
application to briefly wake-up, perform routine
“housekeeping” tasks and return to Sleep before the
device starts to operate from the primary oscillator.
When enabled, Resets and wake-ups from Sleep mode
cause the device to configure itself to run from the
internal oscillator block as the clock source, following
the time-out of the Power-up Timer after a Power-on
Reset is enabled. This allows almost immediate code
execution while the primary oscillator starts and the
OST is running. Once the OST times out, the device
automatically switches to PRI_RUN mode.
User code can also check if the primary clock source is
currently providing the device clocking by checking the
status of the OSTS bit (OSCCON<3>). If the bit is set,
the primary oscillator is providing the clock. Otherwise,
the internal oscillator block is providing the clock during
wake-up from Reset or Sleep mode.
To use a higher clock speed on wake-up, the INTOSC
or postscaler clock sources can be selected to provide
a higher clock speed by setting bits, IRCF<2:0>,
immediately after Reset. For wake-ups from Sleep, the
INTOSC or postscaler clock sources can be selected
by setting the IRCF<2:0> bits prior to entering Sleep
mode.

Fail-Safe Clock Monitor
The Fail-Safe Clock Monitor (FSCM) allows the microcontroller to continue operation in the event of an external
oscillator failure by automatically switching the device
clock to the internal oscillator block. The FSCM function
is enabled by setting the FCMEN Configuration bit.
When FSCM is enabled, the LF-INTOSC 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 28-4) is accomplished by
creating a sample clock signal, which is the output from
the LF-INTOSC, 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.

The FSCM will detect only failures of the primary or
secondary clock sources. If the internal oscillator block
fails, no failure would be detected nor would any action
be possible.
28.5.1
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 28-5). This causes the following:
• The FSCM generates an oscillator fail interrupt by
setting bit, OSCFIF (PIR2<7>)
• The device clock source switches to the internal
oscillator block (OSCCON is not updated to show
the current clock source – this is the Fail-Safe
condition)
• 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 4.1.4 “Multiple Sleep Commands”
and Section 28.4.1 “Special Considerations for
Using Two-Speed Start-up” for more details.
FSCM AND THE WATCHDOG TIMER
Both the FSCM and the WDT are clocked by the
INTOSC oscillator. Since the WDT operates with a
separate divider and counter, disabling the WDT has
no effect on the operation of the INTOSC oscillator
when the FSCM is enabled.
As already noted, the clock source is switched to the
INTOSC clock when a clock failure is detected.
Depending on the frequency selected by the
IRCF<2:0> bits, this may mean a substantial change in
the speed of code execution. If the WDT is enabled
with a small prescale value, a decrease in clock speed
allows a WDT time-out to occur and a subsequent
device Reset. For this reason, Fail-Safe Clock events
also reset the WDT and postscaler, allowing it to start
timing from when execution speed was changed, and
decreasing the likelihood of an erroneous time-out.

or postscaler clock sources can be selected to provide
a higher clock speed by setting bits, IRCF<2:0>,
immediately after Reset. For wake-ups from Sleep, the
INTOSC or postscaler clock sources can be selected
by setting the IRCF<2:0> bits prior to entering Sleep
mode.
EXITING FAIL-SAFE OPERATION
The Fail-Safe condition is terminated by either a device
Reset or by entering a power-managed mode. On
Reset, the controller starts the primary clock source
specified in Configuration Register 1H (with any
required start-up delays that are required for the
oscillator mode, such as the OST or PLL timer). The
INTOSC multiplexer provides the device clock until the
primary clock source becomes ready (similar to a TwoSpeed 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 primary clock source may never become ready
during start-up. In this case, operation is clocked by the
INTOSC multiplexer. The OSCCON register will remain
in its Reset state until a power-managed mode is
entered.

FSCM INTERRUPTS IN
POWER-MANAGED MODES
By entering a power-managed mode, the clock
multiplexer selects the clock source selected by the
OSCCON register. Fail-Safe Monitoring of the powermanaged 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 Flag is enabled. If
enabled (OSCFIF = 1), code execution will be clocked
by the INTOSC multiplexer. An automatic transition
back to the failed clock source will not occur.
If the interrupt is disabled, subsequent interrupts while
in Idle mode will cause the CPU to begin executing
instructions while being clocked by the INTOSC
source.
28.5.4
CM Test
CM Test
The device clock is normally at a much higher frequency than the sample clock. The relative frequencies in this
example have been chosen for clarity.
POR OR WAKE FROM SLEEP
The FSCM is designed to detect oscillator failure at any
point after the device has exited Power-on Reset
(POR) or low-power Sleep mode. When the primary
device clock is EC, RC or INTRC modes, monitoring
can begin immediately following these events.
DS39957D-page 446
For oscillator modes involving a crystal or resonator
(HS, HSPLL, LP or XT), the situation is somewhat
different. Since the oscillator may require a start-up
time considerably longer than the FCSM sample clock
time, a false clock failure may be detected. To prevent
this, the internal oscillator block is automatically configured as the device clock and functions until the primary
clock is stable (when the OST and PLL timers have
timed out).
This is identical to Two-Speed Start-up mode. Once the
primary clock is stable, the INTOSC returns to its role
as the FSCM source.
Note:
The same logic that prevents false oscillator failure interrupts on POR, or wake from
Sleep, also prevents 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.
As noted in Section 28.4.1 “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 powermanaged mode is selected, the primary clock is
disabled.

Each of the blocks has three code protection bits
associated with them. They are:
Program Verification and
Code Protection
• Code-Protect bit (CPn)
• Write-Protect bit (WRTn)
• External Block Table Read bit (EBTRn)
The user program memory is divided into four blocks
for the PIC18FX5K90 device and PIC18FX6K90
devices, and eight blocks for PIC18FX7K90 devices.
One of these is a boot block of 1 or 2 Kbytes. The
remainder of the memory is divided into blocks on
binary boundaries.

DATA EEPROM
CODE PROTECTION
The entire data EEPROM is protected from external
reads and writes by two bits: CPD and WRTD. CPD
inhibits external reads and writes of data EEPROM.
WRTD inhibits internal and external writes to data
EEPROM. The CPU can always read data EEPROM
under normal operation, regardless of the protection bit
settings.

CONFIGURATION REGISTER
PROTECTION
The Configuration registers can be write-protected.
The WRTC bit controls protection of the Configuration
registers. In Normal Execution mode, the WRTC bit is
readable only. WRTC can only be written via ICSP or
an external programmer.

ID Locations
Eight memory locations (200000h-200007h) are
designated as ID locations, where the user can store
checksum or other code identification numbers. These
locations are both readable and writable, during Normal Execution mode through the TBLRD and TBLWT
instructions, or during program/verify. The ID locations
can be read when the device is code-protected.

In-Circuit Debugger
When the DEBUG Configuration bit is programmed to
a ‘0’, the In-Circuit Debugger (ICD) 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 28-5
shows which resources are required by the background
debugger.

To use the In-Circuit Debugger function of the microcontroller, the design must implement In-Circuit Serial
Programming connections to MCLR/RG5/VPP, VDD,
VSS, RB7 and RB6. This will interface to the In-Circuit
Debugger module, available from Microchip or one of
the third party development tool companies.
In-Circuit Serial Programming
The PIC18F87K90 family of devices 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 the various
programming modes, please refer to the device
programming specification.

INSTRUCTION SET SUMMARY
The PIC18F87K90 family of devices incorporates the
standard set of 75 PIC18 core instructions, as well as
an extended set of 8 new instructions for the optimization of code that is recursive or that utilizes a software
stack. The extended set is discussed later in this
section.
29.1
Standard Instruction Set
The standard PIC18 MCU instruction set adds many
enhancements to the previous PIC® MCU instruction
sets, while maintaining an easy migration from these
PIC MCU instruction sets. Most instructions are a
single program memory word (16 bits), but there are
four instructions that require two program memory
locations.
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.
The instruction set is highly orthogonal and is grouped
into four basic categories:
•
•
•
•
Byte-oriented operations
Bit-oriented operations
Literal operations
Control operations
The PIC18 instruction set summary in Table 29-2 lists
byte-oriented, bit-oriented, literal and control
operations. Table 29-1 shows the opcode field
descriptions.
Most byte-oriented instructions have three operands:
1.
2.
3.
The file register (specified by ‘f’)
The destination of the result (specified by ‘d’)
The accessed memory (specified by ‘a’)
The file register designator, ‘f’, specifies which file register 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 zero, the result is
placed in the WREG register. If ‘d’ is one, the result is
placed in the file register specified in the instruction.
All bit-oriented instructions have three operands:
1.
2.
3.
The file register (specified by ‘f’)
The bit in the file register (specified by ‘b’)
The accessed memory (specified by ‘a’)
The literal instructions may use some of the following
operands:
• 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 ‘—’)
The control instructions may use some of the following
operands:
• A program memory address (specified by ‘n’)
• The mode of the CALL or RETURN instructions
(specified by ‘s’)
• The mode of the table read and table write
instructions (specified by ‘m’)
• 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.
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 instruction. In these cases, the execution takes two instruction
cycles with the additional instruction cycle(s) executed
as a NOP.
The double-word instructions execute in two instruction
cycles.
One instruction cycle consists of four oscillator periods.
Thus, for an oscillator frequency of 4 MHz, the normal
instruction execution time is 1 s. If a conditional test is
true, or the Program Counter is changed as a result of
an instruction, the instruction execution time is 2 s.
Two-word branch instructions (if true) would take 3 s.
Figure 29-1 shows the general formats that the instructions can have. All examples use the convention ‘nnh’
to represent a hexadecimal number.
The Instruction Set Summary, shown in Table 29-2,
lists the standard instructions recognized by the
Microchip MPASMTM Assembler.
Section 29.1.1 “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 designator, ‘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’.
If this instruction is executed on the TMR0 register (and, where applicable, d = 1), the prescaler will be cleared if
assigned.
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.
Some instructions are two-word instructions. The second word of these instructions will be executed as a NOP
unless the first word of the instruction retrieves the information embedded in these 16 bits. This ensures that all
program memory locations have a valid instruction.

Description:
The TOS value is pulled off the return
stack and is discarded. The TOS value
then becomes the previous value that
was pushed onto the return stack.
This instruction is provided to enable
the user to properly manage the return
stack to incorporate a software stack.
Description:
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.

29.2
A summary of the instructions in the extended instruction set is provided in Table 29-3. Detailed descriptions
are provided in Section 29.2.2 “Extended Instruction
Set”. The opcode field descriptions in Table 29-1
(page 452) apply to both the standard and extended
PIC18 instruction sets.
Extended Instruction Set
In addition to the standard 75 instructions of the PIC18
instruction set, the PIC18F87K90 family of devices also
provides an optional extension to the core CPU functionality. The added features include eight additional
instructions that augment Indirect and Indexed
Addressing operations and the implementation of
Indexed Literal Offset Addressing for many of the
standard PIC18 instructions.
Note:
The additional features of the extended instruction set
are enabled by default on unprogrammed devices.
Users must properly set or clear the XINST Configuration 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.
29.2.1
EXTENDED INSTRUCTION SYNTAX
Most of the extended instructions use indexed arguments, using one of the File Select Registers and some
offset to specify a source or destination register. When
an argument for an instruction serves as part of
Indexed Addressing, it is enclosed in square brackets
(“[ ]”). This is done to indicate that the argument is used
as an index or offset. The MPASM™ Assembler will
flag an error if it determines that an index or offset value
is not bracketed.
The extended instructions are specifically implemented
to optimize re-entrant program code (that is, code that
is recursive or that uses a software stack) written in
high-level languages, particularly C. Among other
things, they allow users working in high-level
languages to perform certain operations on data
structures more efficiently. These include:
When the extended instruction set is enabled, brackets
are also used to indicate index arguments in
byte-oriented and bit-oriented instructions. This is in
addition to other changes in their syntax. For more
details, see Section 29.2.3.1 “Extended Instruction
Syntax with Standard PIC18 Commands”.
• Dynamic allocation and deallocation of software
stack space when entering and leaving
subroutines
• Function Pointer invocation
• Software Stack Pointer manipulation
• Manipulation of variables located in a software
stack
TABLE 29-3:
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.
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 (“{ }”).

Note:
BYTE-ORIENTED AND
BIT-ORIENTED INSTRUCTIONS IN
INDEXED LITERAL OFFSET MODE
Enabling the PIC18 instruction set extension may cause legacy applications to
behave erratically or fail entirely.
In addition to eight new commands in the extended set,
enabling the extended instruction set also enables
Indexed Literal Offset Addressing (Section 6.6.1
“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 embedded 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 instructions – may behave differently when the extended
instruction set is enabled.
When the content of FSR2 is 00h, the boundaries of the
Access RAM are essentially remapped to their original
values. This may be useful in creating backward
compatible code. If this technique is used, it may be
necessary to save the value of FSR2 and restore it
when moving back and forth between C and assembly
routines in order to preserve the Stack Pointer. Users
must also keep in mind the syntax requirements of the
extended instruction set (see Section 29.2.3.1
“Extended Instruction Syntax with Standard PIC18
Commands”).
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 operation is carried out on the wrong register. Users who are
accustomed to the PIC18 programming must keep in
mind, that when the extended instruction set is
enabled, register addresses of 5Fh or less are used for
Indexed Literal Offset Addressing.
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.
DS39957D-page 498
29.2.3.1
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.
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.
29.2.4
CONSIDERATIONS WHEN
ENABLING THE EXTENDED
INSTRUCTION SET
It is important to note that the extensions to the instruction 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.
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.
When porting an application to the PIC18F87K90 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 PIC18F87K90 family family. This includes
the MPLAB C18 C Compiler, MPASM assembly
language 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.
DS39957D-page 500
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 accompanying their development systems for the appropriate
information.

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 a high-impedance state and tied to VDD or VSS, and all features that add delta
current are disabled (such as WDT, SOSC oscillator, BOR, etc.).
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.
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.
Voltage regulator disabled (ENVREG = 0, tied to VSS, RETEN (CONFIG1L<0>) = 1).
Voltage regulator enabled (ENVREG = 1, tied to VDD, SRETEN (WDTCON<4>) = 1 and RETEN (CONFIG1L<0>) = 0).
LCD glass is not connected; resistor current is not included.
48 MHz maximum frequency at 125°C.
