GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The PIC16F527 device from Microchip Technology is a
low-cost, high-performance, 8-bit, fully-static, Flashbased CMOS microcontroller. It employs a RISC
architecture with only 36 single-word/single-cycle
instructions. All instructions are single cycle except for
program branches, which take two cycles. The
PIC16F527 device delivers performance an order of
magnitude higher than its competitors in the same price
category. The 12-bit wide instructions are highly
symmetrical, resulting in a typical 2:1 code
compression over other 8-bit microcontrollers in its
class. The easy-to-use and easy to remember
instruction set reduces development time significantly.
The PIC16F527 product is equipped with special
features that reduce system cost and power
requirements. The Power-on Reset (POR) and Device
Reset Timer (DRT) eliminate the need for external
Reset circuitry. There are several oscillator
configurations to choose from, including INTRC
Internal Oscillator mode and the power-saving LP
(Low-Power) Oscillator mode. Power-Saving Sleep
mode, Watchdog Timer and code protection features
improve system cost, power and reliability.
1.1
Applications
The PIC16F527 device fits in applications ranging from
personal care appliances and security systems to lowpower remote transmitters/receivers. The Flash
technology makes customizing application programs
(transmitter codes, appliance settings, receiver
frequencies, etc.) extremely fast and convenient. The
small footprint packages, for through hole or surface
mounting, make these microcontrollers perfect for
applications with space limitations. Low cost, low
power, high performance, ease of use and I/O flexibility
make the PIC16F527 device very versatile, even in
areas where no microcontroller use has been
considered before (e.g., timer functions, logic and
PLDs in larger systems and coprocessor applications).
The PIC16F527 device is available in the cost-effective
Flash programmable version, which is suitable for
production in any volume. The customer can take full
advantage of Microchip’s price leadership in Flash
programmable microcontrollers, while benefiting from
the Flash programmable flexibility.
The PIC16F527 product is supported by a full-featured
macro assembler, a software simulator, an in-circuit
emulator, a ‘C’ compiler, a low-cost development
programmer and a full-featured programmer. All the
tools are supported on IBM® PC and compatible
machines.

Microchip offers a unique programming service, where
a few user-defined locations in each device are
programmed with different serial numbers. The serial
numbers may be random, pseudo-random or
sequential.
Serial programming allows each device to have a
unique number, which can serve as an entry code,
password or ID number.
Microchip offers a QTP programming service for
factory production orders. This service is made
available for users who choose not to program
medium-to-high quantity units and whose code
patterns have stabilized. The devices are identical to
the Flash devices but with all Flash locations and fuse
options already programmed by the factory. Certain
code and prototype verification procedures do apply
before production shipments are available. Please
contact your local Microchip Technology sales office for
more details.

ARCHITECTURAL OVERVIEW
The high performance of the PIC16F527 device can
be attributed to a number of architectural features
commonly found in RISC microprocessors. To begin
with, the PIC16F527 device uses a Harvard
architecture in which program and data are accessed
on separate buses. This improves bandwidth over
traditional von Neumann architectures where program
and data are fetched on the same bus. Separating
program and data memory further allows instructions
to be sized differently than the 8-bit wide data word.
Instruction opcodes are 12 bits wide, making it
possible to have all single-word instructions. A 12-bit
wide program memory access bus fetches a 12-bit
instruction in a single cycle. A two-stage pipeline
overlaps fetch and execution of instructions.
Consequently, all instructions execute in a single
cycle (200 ns @ 20 MHz, 1 s @ 4 MHz) except for
program branches.
The PIC16F527 device contains an 8-bit ALU and
working register. The ALU is a general purpose arithmetic unit. It performs arithmetic and Boolean functions
between data in the working register and any register
file.
The ALU is eight bits wide and capable of addition, subtraction, shift and logical operations. Unless otherwise
mentioned, arithmetic operations are two’s complement in nature. In two-operand instructions, one
operand is typically the W (working) register. The other
operand is either a file register or an immediate
constant. In single operand instructions, the operand is
either the W register or a file register.
The W register is an 8-bit working register used for ALU
operations. It is not an addressable register.
Table 3-1 below lists memory supported by the
PIC16F527 device.
Depending on the instruction executed, the ALU may
affect the values of the Carry (C), Digit Carry (DC) and
Zero (Z) bits in the STATUS register. The C and DC bits
operate as a borrow and digit borrow out bit,
respectively, in subtraction. See the SUBWF and ADDWF
instructions for examples.

A simplified block diagram is shown in Figure 3-2, with
the corresponding device pins described in Table 3-2.

The PIC16F527 device can directly or indirectly
address its register files and data memory. All Special
Function Registers (SFR), including the PC, are
mapped in the data memory. The PIC16F527 device
has a highly orthogonal (symmetrical) instruction set
that makes it possible to carry out any operation, on
any register, using any Addressing mode. This symmetrical nature and lack of “special optimal situations”
make programming with the PIC16F527 device simple,
yet efficient. In addition, the learning curve is reduced
significantly.

3.1
Clocking Scheme/Instruction
Cycle
3.2
Instruction Flow/Pipelining
An instruction cycle consists of four Q cycles (Q1, Q2,
Q3 and Q4). The instruction fetch and execute are
pipelined such that fetch takes one instruction cycle,
while decode and execute take another instruction
cycle. However, due to the pipelining, each instruction
effectively executes in one cycle. If an instruction
causes the PC to change (e.g., GOTO or an interrupt),
then two cycles are required to complete the instruction
(see Example 3-1).
The clock input (OSC1/CLKIN pin) is internally divided
by four to generate four non-overlapping quadrature
clocks, namely Q1, Q2, Q3 and Q4. Internally, the PC
is incremented every Q1 and the instruction is fetched
from program memory and latched into the instruction
register in Q4. It is decoded and executed during the
following Q1 through Q4. The clocks and instruction
execution flow is shown in Figure 3-2 and Example 3-1.
A fetch cycle begins with the 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).

All instructions are single cycle, except for any program branches. These take two cycles, since the fetch instruction
is “flushed” from the pipeline, while the new instruction is being fetched and then executed.

Program Memory Organization for
PIC16F527
The PIC16F527 device has an 11-bit Program Counter
(PC) capable of addressing a 2K x 12 program memory
space. Program memory is partitioned into user memory,
data memory and configuration memory spaces.
The user memory space is the on-chip user program
memory. As shown in Figure 4-1, it extends from 0x000
to 0x3FF and partitions into pages, including an
Interrupt vector at address 0x004 and a Reset vector at
address 0x3FF.

User Memory
Space
The PIC16F527 memories are organized into program
memory and data memory (SRAM).The self-writable
portion of the program memory called self-writable
Flash data memory is located at addresses 400h-43Fh.
All program mode commands that work on the normal
Flash memory, work on the Flash data memory. This
includes bulk erase, row/column/cycling toggles, Load
and Read data commands (Refer to Section 5.0 “SelfWritable Flash Data Memory Control” for more
details). For devices with more than 512 bytes of
program memory, a paging scheme is used. Program
memory pages are accessed using one STATUS
register bit. For the PIC16F527, with data memory
register files of more than 32 registers, a banking
scheme is used. Data memory banks are accessed
using the File Select Register (FSR).

The data memory space is the self-writable Flash data
memory block and is located at addresses PC = 400h43Fh. All program mode commands that work on the
normal Flash memory, work on the Flash data memory
block. This includes bulk erase, Load and Read data
commands.
The configuration memory space extends from 0x440
to 0x7FF. Locations from 0x448 through 0x49F are
reserved. The user ID locations extend from 0x440
through 0x443. The Backup OSCCAL locations extend
from 0x444 through 0x447. The Configuration Word is
physically located at 0x7FF.

4.2.1
Data Memory (SRAM and SFRs)
Data memory is composed of registers or bytes of
SRAM. Therefore, data memory for a device is
specified by its register file. The register file is divided
into two functional groups: Special Function Registers
(SFR) and General Purpose Registers (GPR).
GENERAL PURPOSE REGISTER
FILE
The General Purpose Register file is accessed directly
or indirectly. See Section 4.8 “Direct and Indirect
Addressing”.
4.2.2
The Special Function Registers are registers used by
the CPU and peripheral functions for controlling
desired operations of the PIC16F527. See Section 4.3
“STATUS Register” for details.
SPECIAL FUNCTION REGISTERS
The Special Function Registers (SFRs) are registers
used by the CPU and peripheral functions to control the
operation of the device (see Section 4.3 “STATUS
Register”).
The Special Function Registers can be classified into
two sets. The Special Function Registers associated
with the “core” functions are described in this section.
Those related to the operation of the peripheral
features are described in the section for each
peripheral feature.

STATUS Register
This register contains the arithmetic status of the ALU,
the Reset status and the page preselect bit.
The STATUS register can be the destination for any
instruction, as with any other register. If the STATUS
register is the destination for an instruction that affects
the Z, DC or C bits, then the write to these three bits is
disabled. These bits are set or cleared according to the
device logic. Furthermore, the TO and PD bits are not
writable. Therefore, the result of an instruction with the
STATUS register as destination may be different than
intended.
REGISTER 4-1:
For example, CLRF STATUS, will clear the upper three
bits and set the Z bit. This leaves the STATUS register
as 000u u1uu (where u = unchanged).
Therefore, it is recommended that only BCF, BSF and
MOVWF instructions be used to alter the STATUS
register. These instructions do not affect the Z, DC or C
bits from the STATUS register. For other instructions
which do affect Status bits, see Section 13.0
“Instruction Set Summary”.

Program Counter
EFFECTS OF RESET
As a program instruction is executed, the Program
Counter (PC) will contain the address of the next
program instruction to be executed. The PC value is
increased by one every instruction cycle, unless an
instruction changes the PC.
The PC is set upon a Reset, which means that the PC
addresses the last location in the last page (i.e., the
oscillator calibration instruction). After executing
MOVLW XX, the PC will roll over to location 00h and
begin executing user code.
For a GOTO instruction, bits <8:0> of the PC are
provided by the GOTO instruction word. The Program
Counter (PCL) is mapped to PC<7:0>. Bit 5 of the
STATUS register provides page information to bit 9 of
the PC (see Figure 4-3).
The STATUS register page preselect bits are cleared
upon a Reset, which means that page 0 is pre-selected.
For a CALL instruction, or any instruction where the
PCL is the destination, bits <7:0> of the PC again are
provided by the instruction word. However, PC<8>
does not come from the instruction word, but is always
cleared (see Figure 4-3).
Instructions where the PCL is the destination, or modify
PCL instructions, include MOVWF PCL, ADDWF PCL
and BSF PCL,5.
Note:
Because bit 8 of the PC is cleared in the
CALL instruction or any modify PCL
instruction, all subroutine calls or computed jumps are limited to the first 256
locations of any program memory page
(512 words long).

Stack
The PIC16F527 device has a 4-deep, 12-bit wide
hardware PUSH/POP stack.
A CALL instruction or an interrupt will PUSH the current
PC value, incremented by one, into Stack Level 1. If there
was a previous value in the Stack 1 location, it will be
pushed into the Stack 2 location. This process will be
continued throughout the remaining stack locations populated with values. If more than four sequential CALLs
are executed, only the most recent four return addresses
are stored.
A RETLW, RETURN or RETFIE instruction will POP
the contents of Stack Level 1 into the PC. If there was
a previous value in the Stack 2 location, it will be copied
into the Stack Level 1 location. This process will be continued throughout the remaining stack locations populated with values. If more than four sequential RETLWs
are executed, the stack will be filled with the address
previously stored in Stack Level 4. Note that the
W register will be loaded with the literal value specified
in the instruction. This is particularly useful for the
implementation of data look-up tables within the program memory.
Note 1: There are no Status bits to indicate Stack
Overflows or Stack Underflow conditions.

Therefore, upon a Reset, a GOTO instruction will
automatically cause the program to jump to page 0 until
the value of the page bits is altered.

that occur from the execution of the

Direct and Indirect Addressing
DIRECT DATA ADDRESSING: BSR
REGISTER
Traditional data memory addressing is performed in
the Direct Addressing mode. In Direct Addressing, the
Bank Select Register bits BSR<1:0>, in the new BSR
register, are used to select the data memory bank. The
address location within that bank comes directly from
the opcode being executed.
BSR<1:0> are the bank select bits and are used to
select the bank to be addressed (00 = Bank 0, 01 =
Bank 1, 10 = Bank 2, 11 = Bank 3).
A new instruction supports the addition of the BSR
register, called the MOVLB instruction. See
Section 13.0 “Instruction Set Summary” for more
information.
4.8.2
INDIRECT DATA ADDRESSING:
INDF AND FSR REGISTERS
The INDF Register is not a physical register.
Addressing INDF actually addresses the register
whose address is contained in the FSR Register (FSR
is a pointer). This is indirect addressing.
Reading INDF itself indirectly (FSR = 0) will produce
00h. Writing to the INDF Register indirectly results in a
no-operation (although Status bits may be affected).
The FSR is an 8-bit wide register. It is used in
conjunction with the INDF Register to indirectly
address the data memory area.
The FSR<6:0> bits are used to select data memory
addresses 00h to 1Fh.
FSR<7> is unimplemented and read as ‘0’.
A simple program to clear RAM locations 10h-1Fh
using indirect addressing is shown in Example 4-1.

SELF-WRITABLE FLASH DATA
MEMORY CONTROL
Flash Data memory consists of 64 bytes of selfwritable memory and supports a self-write capability
that can write a single byte of memory at one time.
Data to be written to the self-writable data memory is
first written into a write latch before writing the data to
Flash memory.
Although each Flash data memory location is 12 bits
wide, access is limited to the lower eight bits. The
upper four bits will automatically default to ‘1’ in any
self-write procedure. The lower eight bits are fully
readable and writable during normal operation and
throughout the full VDD range.
The self-writable Flash data memory is not directly
mapped in the register file space. Instead, it is
indirectly addressed through the Special Function
Registers, EECON, EEDATA and EEADR.
Note 1: To prevent accidental corruption of the
Flash data memory, an unlock sequence
is required to initiate a write or erase
cycle. This sequence requires that the bit
set instructions used to configure the
EECON register happen exactly as
shown in Example 5-2 and Example 5-3,
depending on the operation requested.
2: In order to prevent any disruptions of selfwrites or row erases performed on the
self-writable
Flash
data
memory,
interrupts should be disabled prior to
executing those routines.
5.1.1
A row must be manually erased before writing new
data. The following sequence must be performed for a
single row erase.
1.
5.1
Reading Flash Data Memory
To read a Flash data memory location the user must:
• Write the EEADR register
• Set the RD bit of the EECON register
The value written to the EEADR register determines
which Flash data memory location is read. Setting the
RD bit of the EECON register initiates the read. Data
from the Flash data memory read is available in the
EEDATA register immediately. The EEDATA register
will hold this value until another read is initiated or it is
modified by a write operation. Program execution is
suspended while the read cycle is in progress.
Execution will continue with the instruction following the
one that sets the WR bit. See Example 5-1 for sample
code.
EXAMPLE 5-1:

5.
Load EEADR with an address in the row to be
erased.
Set the FREE bit to enable the erase.
Set the WREN bit to enable write access to the
array.
Disable interrupts.
Set the WR bit to initiate the erase cycle.
If the WREN bit is not set in the instruction cycle after
the FREE bit is set, the FREE bit will be cleared in
hardware.
If the WR bit is not set in the instruction cycle after the
WREN bit is set, the WREN bit will be cleared in
hardware.
Sample code that follows this procedure is included in
Example 5-2.
Program execution is suspended while the erase cycle
is in progress. Execution will continue with the
instruction following the one that sets the WR bit.

EXAMPLE 5-3:
Note 1: The FREE bit may be set by any
command normally used by the core.
However, the WREN and WR bits can
only be set using a series of BSF commands, as documented in Example 5-1.
No other sequence of commands will
work, no exceptions.
2: Bits <5:3> of the EEADR register indicate
which row is to be erased.

The self-write operation writes one byte of data at one
time. The data must first be loaded into a write latch.
Once the write latch is loaded, the data will be written
to Flash data memory.
Note 1: Only a series of BSF commands will work
to enable the memory write sequence
documented in Example 5-3. No other
sequence of commands will work, no
exceptions.
2: For reads, erases and writes to the Flash
data memory, there is no need to insert a
NOP into the user code as is done on midrange
devices.
The
instruction
immediately
following
the
“BSF

Once a cell is erased, new data can be written.

3.
WRITING TO FLASH DATA
MEMORY
Load EEADR with the address.
Load EEDATA with the data to be written.
Set the WREN bit to enable write access to the
array.
Disable interrupts.
Set the WR bit to load the data into the write
latch.
Once the WR bit is set and the processor recognizes
that the write latch is loaded, it will immediately
perform the Flash data memory write of that byte.
The specific sequence of setting the WREN bit and
setting the WR bit must be executed to properly initiate
loading of the write latches and the write to Flash data
memory.
If the WR bit is not set in the instruction cycle after the
WREN bit is set, the WREN bit will be cleared in
hardware.
5.2
Write/Verify
Depending on the application, good programming
practice may dictate that data written to the Flash data
memory be verified. Example 5-4 is an example of a
write/verify.
EXAMPLE 5-4:

I/O PORT
As with any other register, the I/O register(s) can be
written and read under program control. However, read
instructions (e.g., MOVF PORTB,W) always read the I/O
pins independent of the pin’s Input/Output modes. On
Reset, all I/O ports are defined as input (inputs are at highimpedance) since the I/O control registers are all set.
6.1
PORTA
PORTA is a 6-bit I/O register. Only the low-order six
bits are used (RA<5:0>). Bits 7 and 6 are
unimplemented and read as ‘0’s. Please note that RA3
is an input-only pin. The Configuration Word can set
several I/Os to alternate functions. When acting as
alternate functions, the pins will read as ‘0’ during a
port read. Pins RA0, RA1, RA3 and RA4 can be
configured with weak pull-ups and also for wake-up on
change. The wake-up on change and weak pull-up
functions are not pin selectable. If RA3/MCLR is
configured as MCLR, weak pull-up is always on and
wake-up on change for this pin is not enabled.
DS40001652D-page 26
6.2
PORTB
PORTB is a 4-bit I/O register. Only the high-order four
bits are used (RB<7:4>). Bits 0 through 3 are
unimplemented and read as ‘0’s.
6.3
PORTC
PORTC is an 8-bit I/O register.
6.4
TRIS Register
The Output Driver Control register is loaded with the
contents of the W register by executing the TRIS
instruction. A ‘1’ from a TRIS register bit puts the
corresponding output driver in a High-Impedance
mode. A ‘0’ puts the contents of the output data latch
on the selected pins, enabling the output buffer. The
exceptions are RA3, which is input-only and the T0CKI
pin, which may be controlled by the OPTION register
(see Register 4-2).
TRIS registers are “write-only”. Active bits in these
registers are set (output drivers disabled) upon Reset.

PIC16F527
6.5
I/O Interfacing
The equivalent circuit for an I/O port pin is shown in
Figure 6-1. All port pins, except the MCLR pin which is
input-only, may be used for both input and output operations. For input operations, these ports are non-latching. Any input must be present until read by an input
instruction (e.g., MOVF PORTB, W). The outputs are
latched and remain unchanged until the output latch is
rewritten. To use a port pin as output, the corresponding direction control bit in TRIS must be cleared (= 0).
For use as an input, the corresponding TRIS bit must
be set. Any I/O pin (except MCLR) can be programmed
individually as input or output.

EXAMPLE 6-1:
I/O Programming Considerations
6.7.1
BIDIRECTIONAL I/O PORTS
Some instructions operate internally as read followed
by write operations. The BCF and BSF instructions, for
example, read the entire port into the CPU, execute the
bit operation and rewrite the result. Caution must be
used when these instructions are applied to a port
where one or more pins are used as input/outputs. For
example, a BSF operation on bit 5 of PORTB will cause
all eight bits of PORTB to be read into the CPU, bit 5 to
be set and the PORTB value to be written to the output
latches. If another bit of PORTB is used as a bidirectional I/O pin (say bit 0) and it is defined as an input at
this time, the input signal present on the pin itself would
be read into the CPU and rewritten to the data latch of
this particular pin, overwriting the previous content. As
long as the pin stays in the Input mode, no problem
occurs. However, if bit 0 is switched into Output mode
later on, the content of the data latch may now be
unknown.

be latched as the pin value (High).
6.7.2
A pin actively outputting a high or a low should not be
driven from external devices at the same time in order
to change the level on this pin (“wired OR”, “wired
AND”). The resulting high output currents may damage
the chip.

SUCCESSIVE OPERATIONS ON
I/O PORTS
The actual write to an I/O port happens at the end of an
instruction cycle, whereas for reading, the data must be
valid at the beginning of the instruction cycle (Figure 6-2).
Therefore, care must be exercised if a write followed by a
read operation is carried out on the same I/O port. The
sequence of instructions should allow the pin voltage to
stabilize (load dependent) before the next instruction
causes that file to be read into the CPU. Otherwise, the
previous state of that pin may be read into the CPU rather
than the new state. When in doubt, it is better to separate
these instructions with a NOP or another instruction not
accessing this I/O port.
Example 6-1 shows the effect of two sequential
Read-Modify-Write instructions (e.g., BCF, BSF, etc.)
on an I/O port.

TIMER0 MODULE AND TMR0
REGISTER
There are two types of Counter mode. The first Counter
mode uses the T0CKI pin to increment Timer0. It is
selected by setting the T0CS bit of the OPTION register, setting the C1T0CS bit of the CM1CON0 register
and setting the C1OUTEN bit of the CM1CON0 register. In this mode, Timer0 will increment either on every
rising or falling edge of pin T0CKI. The T0SE bit of the
OPTION register determines the source edge. Clearing
the T0SE bit selects the rising edge. Restrictions on the
external clock input are discussed in detail in
Section 7.1 “Using Timer0 with an External Clock”.
The Timer0 module has the following features:
•

•
•
8-bit timer/counter register, TMR0
Readable and writable
8-bit software programmable prescaler
Internal or external clock select:
- Edge select for external clock
Figure 7-1 is a simplified block diagram of the Timer0
module.
The second Counter mode uses the output of the
comparator to increment Timer0. It can be entered in by
setting the T0CS bit of the OPTION register, and
clearing the C1T0CS bit of the CM1CON0 register
(C1OUTEN [CM1CON0<6>] does not affect this mode
of operation). This enables an internal connection
between the comparator and the Timer0.
Timer mode is selected by clearing the T0CS bit of the
OPTION register. In Timer mode, the Timer0 module
will increment every instruction cycle (without prescaler). If TMR0 register is written, the increment is
inhibited for the following two cycles (see Figure 7-2
and Figure 7-3). The user can work around this by writing an adjusted value to the TMR0 register.
The prescaler may be used by either the Timer0
module or the Watchdog Timer, but not both. The
prescaler assignment is controlled in software by the
control bit, PSA of the OPTION register. Clearing the
PSA bit will assign the prescaler to Timer0. The prescaler is not readable or writable. When the prescaler is
assigned to the Timer0 module, prescale values of 1:2,
1:4,..., 1:256 are selectable. Section 7.2 “Prescaler”
details the operation of the prescaler.
A summary of registers associated with the Timer0
module is found in Table 7-1.

7.1
Using Timer0 with an External
Clock
When an external clock input is used for Timer0, it must
meet certain requirements. The external clock
requirement is due to internal phase clock (TOSC)
synchronization. Also, there is a delay in the actual
incrementing of Timer0 after synchronization.
7.1.1
EXTERNAL CLOCK
SYNCHRONIZATION
When no prescaler is used, the external clock input is
the same as the prescaler output. The synchronization
of T0CKI with the internal phase clocks is accomplished by sampling the prescaler output on the Q2 and
Q4 cycles of the internal phase clocks (see Figure 7-4).
Therefore, it is necessary for T0CKI to be high for at
least 2 TOSC (and a small RC delay of 2 Tt0H) and low
for at least 2 TOSC (and a small RC delay of 2 Tt0H).
Refer to the electrical specification of the desired
device.
FIGURE 7-4:
When a prescaler is used, the external clock input is
divided by the asynchronous ripple counter-type
prescaler, so that the prescaler output is symmetrical.
For the external clock to meet the sampling requirement, the ripple counter must be taken into account.
Therefore, it is necessary for T0CKI to have a period of
at least 4 TOSC (and a small RC delay of 4 Tt0H) divided
by the prescaler value. The only requirement on T0CKI
high and low time is that they do not violate the
minimum pulse width requirement of Tt0H. Refer to
parameters 40, 41 and 42 in the electrical specification
of the desired device.
7.1.2
TIMER0 INCREMENT DELAY
Since the prescaler output is synchronized with the
internal clocks, there is a small delay from the time the
external clock edge occurs to the time the Timer0
module is actually incremented. Figure 7-4 shows the
delay from the external clock edge to the timer
incrementing.

7.2
Prescaler
An 8-bit counter is available as a prescaler for the
Timer0 module or as a postscaler for the Watchdog
Timer (WDT), respectively (see Section 8.7 “Watchdog Timer (WDT)”). For simplicity, this counter is
being referred to as “prescaler” throughout this data
sheet.
Note:
The prescaler may be used by either the
Timer0 module or the WDT, but not both.
Thus, a prescaler assignment for the
Timer0 module means that there is no
prescaler for the WDT and vice versa.
The PSA and PS<2:0> bits of the OPTION register
determine prescaler assignment and prescale ratio.
When assigned to the Timer0 module, all instructions
writing to the TMR0 register (e.g., CLRF TMR0,
MOVWF TMR0, etc.) will clear the prescaler. When
assigned to WDT, a CLRWDT instruction will clear the
prescaler along with the WDT. The prescaler is neither
readable nor writable. On a Reset, the prescaler
contains all ‘0’s.

To change the prescaler from the WDT to the Timer0

sequence must be used even if the WDT is disabled. A
CLRWDT instruction should be executed before
switching the prescaler.

The prescaler assignment is fully under software
control (i.e., it can be changed “on-the-fly” during

Reset, the following instruction sequence
(see
Example 7-1) must be executed when changing the
prescaler assignment from Timer0 to the WDT.

SPECIAL FEATURES OF THE
CPU
What sets a microcontroller apart from other
processors are special circuits that deal with the needs
of
real-time
applications.
The
PIC16F527
microcontrollers have a host of such features intended
to maximize system reliability, minimize cost through
elimination of external components, provide powersaving operating modes and offer code protection.
These features are:
• Oscillator Selection
• Reset:
- Power-on Reset (POR)
- Brown-out Reset (BOR)
- Device Reset Timer (DRT)
- Wake-up from Sleep on Pin Change
• Interrupts
• Automatic Context Saving
• Watchdog Timer (WDT)
• Sleep
• Code Protection
• ID Locations
• In-Circuit Serial Programming™
• Clock Out
8.1
Configuration Bits
The PIC16F527 Configuration Words consist of 12 bits,
although some bits may be unimplemented and read as
‘1’. Configuration bits can be programmed to select
various device configurations (see Register 8-1).
Note:
For QTP and SQTP code applications, if
the device is configured such that the
Internal Oscillator is selected and the
MCLRE fuse is cleared, it is possible for
code to execute when memory is verified
in ICSP™ mode. If customer code writes
to Flash data memory, the potential exists
for corruption of addresses 400h to 43Fh
during code verification. In this configuration, Flash data memory should be erased
in code prior to being written in code.
The device has a Watchdog Timer, which can be shut
off only through Configuration bit WDTE. The
Watchdog Timer runs off of its own RC oscillator for
added reliability.
There is also a Device Reset Timer (DRT), intended to
keep the chip in Reset until the crystal oscillator is
stable. The DRT can be enabled with the DRTEN
Configuration bit. For the HS, XT or LP oscillator
options, the 18 ms (nominal) delay is always provided
by the Device Reset Timer and the DRTEN bit is
ignored. When using the EC clock, INTRC or EXTRC
oscillator options, there is a standard delay of 10 us on
power-up, which can be extended to 18 ms with the
use of the DRT timer. With the DRT timer on-chip,
most applications require no additional external Reset
circuitry.
The Sleep mode is designed to offer a very low current
Power-Down mode. The user can wake-up from Sleep
through a change on input pin or through a Watchdog
Timer time-out. Several oscillator options are also
made available to allow the part to fit the application,
including an internal 4/8 MHz oscillator. The EXTRC
oscillator option saves system cost while the LP crystal
option saves power. A set of Configuration bits are
used to select various options.

CRYSTAL OSCILLATOR/CERAMIC

In HS, XT or LP modes, a crystal or ceramic resonator
is connected to the OSC1/CLKIN and OSC2/CLKOUT
pins to establish oscillation (see Figure 8-1). The
PIC16F527 oscillator designs require the use of a
parallel cut crystal. Use of a series cut crystal may give
a frequency out of the crystal manufacturers
specifications. When in HS, XT or LP modes, the
device can have an external clock source drive the
OSC1/CLKIN pin (see Figure 8-2). In this mode, the
output drive levels on the OSC2 pin are very weak. If
the part is used in this fashion, then this pin should be
left open and unloaded. Also when using this mode, the
external clock should observe the frequency limits for
the Clock mode chosen (HS, XT or LP).

EXTERNAL CRYSTAL OSCILLATOR
CIRCUIT
Either a prepackaged oscillator or a simple oscillator
circuit with TTL gates can be used as an external
crystal oscillator circuit. Prepackaged oscillators
provide a wide operating range and better stability. A
well-designed crystal oscillator will provide good
performance with TTL gates. Two types of crystal
oscillator circuits can be used: one with parallel
resonance, or one with series resonance.
Figure 8-3 shows implementation of a parallel resonant
oscillator circuit. The circuit is designed to use the
fundamental frequency of the crystal. The 74AS04
inverter performs the 180-degree phase shift that a
parallel oscillator requires. The 4.7 k resistor provides
the negative feedback for stability. The 10 k
potentiometers bias the 74AS04 in the linear region.
This circuit could be used for external oscillator
designs.

EXTERNAL RC OSCILLATOR
For timing insensitive applications, the RC device
option offers additional cost savings. The RC oscillator
frequency is a function of the supply voltage, the resistor (REXT) and capacitor (CEXT) values, and the operating temperature. In addition to this, the oscillator
frequency will vary from unit-to-unit due to normal process parameter variation. Furthermore, the difference
in lead frame capacitance between package types will
also affect the oscillation frequency, especially for low
CEXT values. The user also needs to take into account
variation due to tolerance of external R and C
components used.
Figure 8-5 shows how the R/C combination is
connected to the PIC16F527 device. For REXT values
below 3.0 k, the oscillator operation may become
unstable, or stop completely. For very high REXT values
(e.g., 1 M), the oscillator becomes sensitive to noise,
humidity and leakage. Thus, we recommend keeping
REXT between 5.0 k and 100 k.
 2012-2016 Microchip Technology Inc.
DS40001652D-page 39
PIC16F527
Although the oscillator will operate with no external
capacitor (CEXT = 0 pF), we recommend using values
above 20 pF for noise and stability reasons. With no
external capacitance or with values below 20 pF, the
oscillation frequency can vary dramatically due to
changes in external capacitances, such as PCB trace
capacitance or package lead frame capacitance.
Section 15.0 “Electrical Characteristics” shows RC
frequency variation from part-to-part due to normal
process variation. The variation is larger for larger values of R (since leakage current variation will affect RC
frequency more for large R) and for smaller values of C
(since variation of input capacitance will affect RC
frequency more).
Also, see the Electrical Specifications section for
variation of oscillator frequency due to VDD for given
REXT/CEXT values, as well as frequency variation due
to operating temperature for given R, C and VDD
values.

The internal RC oscillator provides a fixed 4/8 MHz
(nominal) system clock at VDD = 5V and 25°C, (see
Section 15.0 “Electrical Characteristics” for
information on variation overvoltage and temperature).
In addition, a calibration instruction is programmed into
the last address of memory, which contains the
calibration value for the internal RC oscillator. This
location is always non-code protected, regardless of
the code-protect settings. This value is programmed as
a MOVLW XX instruction where XX is the calibration
value, and is placed at the Reset vector. This will load
the W register with the calibration value upon Reset
and the PC will then roll over to the users program at
address 0x000. The user then has the option of writing
the value to the OSCCAL Register or ignoring it.
OSCCAL, when written to with the calibration value, will
“trim” the internal oscillator to remove process variation
from the oscillator frequency.

Some registers are not reset in any way, they are
unknown on POR/BOR and unchanged in any other
Reset. Most other registers are reset to “Reset state”
on Power-on Reset (POR)/Brown-out Reset (BOR),
MCLR, WDT or Wake-up on pin change Reset during
normal operation. They are not affected by a WDT
Reset during Sleep or MCLR Reset during Sleep, since
these Resets are viewed as resumption of normal operation. The exceptions to this are the TO and PD bits.
They are set or cleared differently in different Reset situations. These bits are used in software to determine
the nature of Reset. See Table 4-1 for a full description
of Reset states of all registers.

MCLR ENABLE
This Configuration bit, when set to a ‘1’, enables the
external MCLR Reset function. When cleared to ‘0’, the
MCLR function is tied to the internal VDD and the pin is
assigned to be an input-only pin function. See Figure 8-6.

Internal MCLR
Power-on Reset (POR)
The PIC16F527 device incorporates an on-chip Poweron Reset (POR) circuitry, which provides an internal
chip Reset for most power-up situations.
The on-chip POR circuit holds the chip in Reset until
VDD has reached a high enough level for proper operation. To take advantage of the internal POR, program
the MCLR/VPP pin as MCLR and tie through a resistor
to VDD, or program the pin as an input pin. An internal
weak pull-up resistor is implemented using a transistor
(refer to Table 15-8 for the pull-up resistor ranges). This
will eliminate external RC components usually needed
to create a Power-on Reset. A maximum rise time for
VDD is specified. See Section 15.0 “Electrical Characteristics” for details.
When the device starts normal operation (exit the
Reset condition), device operating parameters (voltage, frequency, temperature,...) must be met to ensure
operation. If these conditions are not met, the device
must be held in Reset until the operating parameters
are met.
The Power-on Reset circuit and the Device Reset
Timer (see Section 8.6 “Device Reset Timer (DRT)”)
circuit are closely related. On power-up, the Reset latch
is set and the DRT is reset. The DRT timer begins
counting once it detects MCLR to be high. After the
time-out period, it will reset the Reset latch and thus
end the on-chip Reset signal.
A power-up example where MCLR is held low is shown
in Figure 8-8. VDD is allowed to rise and stabilize before
bringing MCLR high. The chip will actually come out of
Reset TDRT msec after MCLR goes high.
In Figure 8-9, the on-chip Power-on Reset feature is
being used (MCLR and VDD are tied together or the pin
is programmed to be an input pin). The VDD is stable
before the start-up timer times out and there is no problem in getting a proper Reset. However, Figure 8-10
depicts a problem situation where VDD rises too slowly.
The time between when the DRT senses that MCLR is
high and when MCLR and VDD actually reach their full
value, is too long. In this situation, when the start-up
timer times out, VDD has not reached the VDD (min)
value and the chip may not function correctly. For such
situations, we recommend that external RC circuits be
used to achieve longer POR delay times (see Figure 89).
Note:
When the device starts normal operation
(exit the Reset condition), device operating parameters (voltage, frequency, temperature, etc.) must be met to ensure
operation. If these conditions are not met,
the device must be held in Reset until the
operating conditions are met.
For additional information, refer to Application Notes
AN522, Power-Up Considerations (DS00522) and
AN607, Power-up Trouble Shooting (DS00607).

Device Reset Timer (DRT)
On the PIC16F527 device, the DRT runs any time the
device is powered up. DRT runs from Reset and varies
based on oscillator selection and Reset type (see
Table 8-4).
The DRT operates on an internal RC oscillator. The
processor is kept in Reset as long as the DRT is active.
The DRT delay allows VDD to rise above VDD min. and
for the oscillator to stabilize.
Oscillator circuits based on crystals or ceramic resonators require a certain time after power-up to establish a
stable oscillation. The on-chip DRT keeps the device in
a Reset condition after MCLR has reached a logic high
(VIH MCLR) level. Programming MCLR/VPP as MCLR
and using an external RC network connected to the
MCLR input is not required in most cases. This allows
savings in cost-sensitive and/or space restricted applications, as well as allowing the use of that pin as a general
purpose input.
The Device Reset Time delays will vary from chip-tochip due to VDD, temperature and process variation.
See AC parameters for details.
The DRT will also be triggered upon a Watchdog Timer
time-out from Sleep. This is particularly important for
applications using the WDT to wake from Sleep mode
automatically.
Reset sources are POR, MCLR, WDT time-out and
wake-up on pin or comparator change. See
Section 8.10.2 “Wake-up from Sleep”, Notes 1, 2
and 3.

WDT PERIOD
The WDT has a nominal time-out period of 18 ms, (with
no prescaler). If a longer time-out period is desired, a
prescaler with a division ratio of up to 1:128 can be
assigned to the WDT (under software control) by
writing to the OPTION register. Thus, a time-out period
of a nominal 2.3 seconds can be realized. These
periods vary with temperature, VDD and part-to-part
process variations (see DC specs).
Under worst-case conditions (VDD = Min., Temperature
= Max., max. WDT prescaler), it may take several
seconds before a WDT time-out occurs.
8.7.2
WDT PROGRAMMING
CONSIDERATIONS
The CLRWDT instruction clears the WDT and the
postscaler, if assigned to the WDT, and prevents it from
timing out and generating a device Reset.
The SLEEP instruction resets the WDT and the
postscaler, if assigned to the WDT. This gives the
maximum Sleep time before a WDT wake-up Reset.
Watchdog Timer (WDT)
The Watchdog Timer (WDT) is a free running on-chip
RC oscillator, which does not require any external
components. This RC oscillator is separate from the
external RC oscillator of the OSC1/CLKIN pin and the
internal 4/8 MHz oscillator. This means that the WDT
will run even if the main processor clock has been
stopped, for example, by execution of a SLEEP
instruction. During normal operation or Sleep, a WDT
Reset or wake-up Reset, generates a device Reset.
The TO bit of the STATUS register will be cleared upon
a Watchdog Timer Reset.
The WDT can be permanently disabled by
programming the configuration WDTE as a ‘0’ (see
Section 8.1 “Configuration Bits”). Refer to the
PIC16F527 Programming Specifications to determine
how to access the Configuration Word.

Brown-out Reset (BOR)
On any Reset (Power-on, Brown-out Reset, Watchdog
Timer, etc.), the chip will remain in Reset until VDD rises
above VBOR (see Figure 8-12). If enabled, the Device
Reset Timer will now be invoked, and will keep the chip
in Reset an additional 18 ms.
A brown-out is a condition where device power (VDD)
dips below its minimum value, but not to zero, and
then recovers. The device should be reset in the event
of a brown-out. The Brown-out Reset feature is
enabled by the BOREN Configuration bit.
Note:
If VDD falls below VBOR for greater than parameter
(TBOR) (see Figure 8-12), the brown-out situation will
reset the device. This will occur regardless of VDD slew
rate. A Reset is not insured to occur if VDD falls below
VBOR for less than parameter (TBOR).
If VDD drops below VBOR while the Device Reset Timer
is running, the chip will go back into a Brown-out Reset
and the Device Reset Timer will be re-initialized. Once
VDD rises above VBOR, the Device Reset Timer will
execute a 18 ms Reset.
Please see Section 15.0 “Electrical Characteristics”
for the VBOR specification and other parameters shown

Power-down Mode (Sleep)
A device may be powered down (Sleep) and later
powered up (wake-up from Sleep).
8.10.1
SLEEP
The Power-Down mode is entered by executing a
SLEEP instruction.
If enabled, the Watchdog Timer will be cleared but
keeps running, the TO bit of the STATUS register is set,
the PD bit of the STATUS register is cleared and the
oscillator driver is turned off. The I/O ports maintain the
status they had before the SLEEP instruction was executed (driving high, driving low or high-impedance).
Note:
The WDT is cleared when the device wakes from
Sleep, regardless of the wake-up source.
Note:
Caution: Right before entering Sleep,
read the comparator Configuration
register(s) CM1CON0 and CM2CON0.
When in Sleep, wake-up occurs when the
comparator output bit C1OUT and C2OUT
change from the state they were in at the
last reading. If a wake-up on comparator
change occurs and the pins are not read
before re-entering Sleep, a wake-up will
occur immediately, even if no pins change
while in Sleep mode.
A Reset generated by a WDT time-out
does not drive the MCLR pin low.
For lowest current consumption while powered down,
the T0CKI input should be at VDD or VSS and the
MCLR/VPP pin must be at a logic high level if MCLR is
enabled.
8.10.2
WAKE-UP FROM SLEEP
The device can wake-up from Sleep through one of
the following events:
1.
2.
3.
An external Reset input on RB3/MCLR/VPP pin,
when configured as MCLR.
A Watchdog Timer Time-out Reset (if WDT was
enabled).
From an interrupt source, see Section 8.11
“Interrupts” for more information.
On waking from Sleep, the processor will continue to
execute the instruction immediately following the
SLEEP instruction. If the WUR bit is also set, upon
waking from Sleep, the device will reset. If the GIE bit
is also set, upon waking from Sleep, the processor will
branch to the interrupt vector. Please see
Section 8.11 “Interrupts” for more information.
The TO and PD bits can be used to determine the
cause of the device Reset. The TO bit is cleared if a
WDT time-out occurred and subsequently caused a
wake-up. The PD bit, which is set on power-up, is
cleared when SLEEP is invoked.
.
Note:
Caution: Right before entering Sleep,
read the input pins. When in Sleep, wakeup occurs when the values at the pins
change from the state they were in at the
last reading. If a wake-up on change
occurs and the pins are not read before
re-entering Sleep, a wake-up will occur
immediately even if no pins change while
in Sleep mode.

Interrupts
The interrupt feature allows certain events to preempt
normal program flow. Firmware is used to determine
the source of the interrupt and act accordingly. Some
interrupts can be configured to wake the MCU from
Sleep mode.
These following interrupt sources are available on the
PIC16F527 device:
•
•
•
•
Timer0 Overflow
ADC Completion
Comparator Output Change
Interrupt-on-change pin
Refer to the corresponding chapters for details.
8.11.1
OPERATION
Interrupts are disabled upon any device Reset. They
are enabled by setting the following bits:
• GIE bit of the INTCON register
• Interrupt Enable bit(s) for the specific interrupt
event(s)
8.12
Automatic Context Switching
While the device is executing from the ISR, a
secondary set of W, STATUS, FSR and BSR registers
are used by the CPU. These registers are still
addressed at the same location, but hold persistent,
independent values for use inside the ISR. This allows
the contents of the primary set of registers to be
unaffected by interrupts in the main line execution. The
contents of the secondary set of context registers are
visible in the SFR map as the IW, ISTATUS, IFSR and
IBSR registers. When executing code from within the
ISR, these registers will read back the main line
context, and vice versa.
The RETFIE instruction exits the ISR by popping the
previous address from the stack, switching back to the
original set of critical registers and setting the GIE bit.
For additional information on a specific interrupt’s
operation, refer to its peripheral chapter.
Note 1: Individual interrupt flag bits may be set,
regardless of the state of any other
enable bits.
The enable bits for specific interrupts can be found in
the INTCON1 register. An interrupt is recorded for a
specific interrupt via flag bits found in the INTCON0
register.
The ADC Conversion flag and the Timer0 Overflow
flags will be set regardless of the status of the GIE and
individual interrupt enable bits.
2: All interrupts will be ignored while the GIE
bit is cleared. Any interrupt occurring
while the GIE bit is clear will be serviced
when the GIE bit is set again.
The Comparator and Interrupt-on-change flags must
be enabled for use. One or both of the comparator
outputs can be enabled to affect the interrupt flag by
clearing the C1WU bit in the CM1CON0 register and
the C2WU bit in the CM2CON0 register. The Interrupton-change flag is enabled by clearing the RAWU bit in
the OPTION register.
4: The user must manage the contents of
the context registers if they are using
interrupts that will vector to the Interrupt
Service Routine (ISR). The context registers (IW, ISTATUS, IFSR and IBSR)
power up in unknown states following
POR and BOR events.
The following events happen when an interrupt event
occurs while the GIE bit is set:
• Current prefetched instruction is flushed
• GIE bit is cleared
• Current Program Counter (PC) is pushed onto the
stack
• Several registers are automatically switched to a
secondary set of registers to store critical data.
(See Section 8.12 “Automatic Context Switching”)
• PC is loaded with the interrupt vector 0004h
The firmware within the Interrupt Service Routine (ISR)
should determine the source of the interrupt by polling
the interrupt flag bits. The interrupt flag bits must be
cleared before exiting the ISR to avoid repeated
interrupts. Because the GIE bit is cleared, any interrupt
that occurs while executing the ISR will be recorded
through its interrupt flag, but will not cause the
processor to redirect to the interrupt vector.
 2012-2016 Microchip Technology Inc.
3: All interrupts should be disabled prior to
executing writes or row erases in the selfwritable Flash data memory.
8.13
Interrupts during Sleep
Any of the interrupt sources can be used to wake from
Sleep. To wake from Sleep, the peripheral must be
operating without the system clock. The interrupt
source must have the appropriate Interrupt Enable
bit(s) set prior to entering Sleep.
On waking from Sleep, if the GIE bit is also set, the
processor will branch to the interrupt vector. Otherwise,
the processor will continue executing instructions after
the SLEEP instruction. The instruction directly after the
SLEEP instruction will always be executed before
branching to the ISR. Refer to the Section 8.10
“Power-down Mode (Sleep)” for more details.

The PIC16F527 microcontroller 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.
The devices are placed into a Program/Verify mode by
holding the ICSPCLK and ICSPDAT pins low while
raising the MCLR (VPP) pin from VIL to VIHH (see
programming specification). ICSPCLK becomes the
programming clock and ICSPDAT becomes the
programming data. Both ICSPCLK and ICSPDAT are
Schmitt Trigger inputs in this mode.
After Reset, a 6-bit command is then supplied to the
device. Depending on the command, 14 bits of program
data are then supplied to or from the device, depending
if the command was a load or a read. For complete
details of serial programming, please refer to the
PIC16F527 Programming Specifications.
A typical In-Circuit Serial Programming connection is

ANALOG-TO-DIGITAL (A/D)
CONVERTER
Note:
The A/D Converter allows conversion of an analog
signal into an 8-bit digital signal.
9.1
Clock Divisors
The ADC has four clock source settings ADCS<1:0>.
There are three divisor values 16, 8 and 4. The fourth
setting is INTOSC with a divisor of four. These settings
will allow a proper conversion when using an external
oscillator at speeds from 20 MHz to 350 kHz. Using an
external oscillator at a frequency below 350 kHz
requires the ADC oscillator setting to be INTOSC/4
(ADCS<1:0> = 11) for valid ADC results.
The ADC requires 13 TAD periods to complete a
conversion. The divisor values do not affect the number
of TAD periods required to perform a conversion. The
divisor values determine the length of the TAD period.
When the ADCS<1:0> bits are changed while an ADC
conversion is in process, the new ADC clock source will
not be selected until the next conversion is started. This
clock source selection will be lost when the device
enters Sleep.
Note:
9.1.1
The ADC clock is derived from the
instruction clock. The ADCS divisors are
then applied to create the ADC clock
VOLTAGE REFERENCE
There is no external voltage reference for the ADC. The
ADC reference voltage will always be VDD.
9.1.2
ANALOG MODE SELECTION
The ANS<7:0> bits are used to configure pins for
analog input. Upon any Reset, ANS<7:0> defaults to
FF. This configures the affected pins as analog inputs.
Pins configured as analog inputs are not available for
digital output. Users should not change the ANS bits
while a conversion is in process. ANS bits are active
regardless of the condition of ADON.
9.1.3
ADC CHANNEL SELECTION
The CHS bits are used to select the analog channel to
be sampled by the ADC. The CHS<3:0> bits can be
changed at any time without adversely effecting a conversion. To acquire an external analog signal, the
CHS<3:0> selection must match one of the pin(s)
selected by the ANS<7:0> bits. When the ADC is on
(ADON = 1) and a channel is selected that is also being
used by the comparator, then both the comparator and
the ADC will see the analog voltage on the pin.
DS40001652D-page 54
It is the user’s responsibility to ensure that
the use of the ADC and op amp
simultaneously on the same pin does not
adversely affect the signal being
monitored or adversely effect device
operation.
When the CHS<3:0> bits are changed during an ADC
conversion, the new channel will not be selected until
the current conversion is completed. This allows the
current conversion to complete with valid results. All
channel selection information will be lost when the
device enters Sleep.
9.1.4
THE GO/DONE BIT
The GO/DONE bit is used to determine the status of a
conversion, to start a conversion and to manually halt a
conversion in process. Setting the GO/DONE bit starts
a conversion. When the conversion is complete, the
ADC module clears the GO/DONE bit and sets the
ADIF bit in the INTCON0 register.
A conversion can be terminated by manually clearing
the GO/DONE bit while a conversion is in process.
Manual termination of a conversion may result in a
partially converted result in ADRES.
The GO/DONE bit is cleared when the device enters
Sleep, stopping the current conversion. The ADC does
not have a dedicated oscillator, it runs off of the
instruction clock. Therefore, no conversion can occur in
Sleep.
The GO/DONE bit cannot be set when ADON is clear.
9.1.5
A/D ACQUISITION REQUIREMENTS
For the ADC to meet its specified accuracy, the charge
holding capacitor (CHOLD) must be allowed to fully
charge to the input channel voltage level. The Analog
Input model is shown in Figure 9-1. 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), see Figure 9-1.
The maximum recommended impedance for analog
sources is 10 k. As the source impedance is
decreased, the acquisition time may be decreased.
After the analog input channel is selected (or changed),
an A/D acquisition must be done before the conversion
can be started. To calculate the minimum acquisition
time, Equation 9-1 may be used. This equation
assumes that 1/2 LSb error is used (256 steps for the
ADC). The 1/2 LSb error is the maximum error allowed
for the ADC to meet its specified resolution.
 2012-2016 Microchip Technology Inc.
PIC16F527
EQUATION 9-1:
ACQUISITION TIME EXAMPLE
Assumptions:
Temperature = 50°C and external impedance of 10 k 5.0V VDD
Tacq
= Amplifier Settling Time + Hold Capacitor Charging Time + Temperature Coefficient
= TAMP + TC + TCOFF
= 2 s + TC + [(Temperature - 25°C)(0.05 s/°C)]
Solving for Tc:
= CHOLD (RIC + RSS + RS) ln(1/512)
Tc
= -25pF (l k + 7 k + 10 k ) ln(0.00196)
= 2.81 s
Therefore:
= 2 s + 2.81 s + [(50°C-25°C)(0.0 5s/°C)]
Tacq
= 6.06 s
Note 1: The charge holding capacitor (CHOLD) is
not discharged after each conversion.
2: The maximum recommended impedance
for analog sources is 10 k. This is
required to meet the pin leakage
specification.

After the sampling period is over, ADRES is cleared

SLEEP
This ADC does not have a dedicated ADC clock, and
therefore, no conversion in Sleep is possible. If a
conversion is underway and a Sleep command is
executed, the GO/DONE and ADON bits will be
cleared. This will stop any conversion in process and
power-down the ADC module to conserve power. Due
to the nature of the conversion process, the ADRES
may contain a partial conversion. At least one bit must
have been converted prior to Sleep to have partial conversion data in ADRES. The ADCS and CHS bits are
reset to their default condition; ANS<7:0> = 1s and
CHS<3:0> = 1s.
For accurate conversions, TAD must meet the following:
• 500 ns < TAD < 50 s
• TAD = 1/(FOSC/divisor)
Shaded areas indicate TAD out of range for accurate
conversions. If analog input is desired at these
frequencies, use INTOSC/8 for the ADC clock source.

Comparator Operation
10.4
A single comparator is shown in Figure 10-2 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. The shaded area of the output of
the comparator in Figure 10-2 represent the
uncertainty due to input offsets and response time. See
Table 15-2 for Common Mode Voltage.
FIGURE 10-2:

Note:
10.5
Result
VIN-
The comparator output is read through the CxOUT bit
in the CM1CON0 or CM2CON0 register. This bit is
read-only. The comparator output may also be used
externally, see Section 10.1 “Comparator Operation”.
SINGLE COMPARATOR

Comparator Output
Analog levels on any pin that is defined as
a digital input may cause the input buffer
to consume more current than is specified.
Comparator Wake-up Flag
The Comparator Wake-up Flag bit, CWIF, in the
INTCON0 register, is set whenever all of the following
conditions are met:
• C1WU = 0 (CM1CON0<0>) or
C2WU = 0 (CM2CON0<0>)
• CM1CON0 or CM2CON0 has been read to latch
the last known state of the C1OUT and C2OUT bit
(MOVF CM1CON0, W)
• The output of a comparator has changed state
VINVIN+
The wake-up flag may be cleared in software or by
another device Reset.
Result
10.6
10.2
Comparator Reference
An internal reference signal may be used depending on
the comparator operating mode. The analog signal that
is present at VIN- is compared to the signal at VIN+, and
the digital output of the comparator is adjusted
accordingly
(see
Figure 10-2).
Please
see
Section 11.0 “Comparator Voltage Reference
Module” for internal reference specifications.
10.3
Comparator Response Time
Response time is the minimum time after selecting a
new reference voltage or input source before the
comparator output is to have a valid level. If the
comparator inputs are changed, a delay must be used
to allow the comparator to settle to its new state. Please
see Table 15-7 for comparator response time
specifications.
DS40001652D-page 60
Comparator Operation During
Sleep
When the comparator is enabled it is active. To
minimize power consumption while in Sleep mode, turn
off the comparator before entering Sleep.
10.7
Effects of Reset
A Power-on Reset (POR) forces the CMxCON0
register to its Reset state. This forces the Comparator
input pins to analog Reset mode. Device current is
minimized when analog inputs are present at Reset
time.
10.8
Analog Input Connection
Considerations
A simplified circuit for an analog input is shown in
Figure 10-3. 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 may occur. A
maximum
source
impedance
of
10 k
is
recommended for the analog sources. Any external
component connected to an analog input pin, such as
a capacitor or a Zener diode, should have very little
leakage current.

COMPARATOR VOLTAGE
REFERENCE MODULE
11.2
The Comparator Voltage Reference module also
allows the selection of an internally generated voltage
reference for one of the C2 comparator inputs. The
VRCON register (see Register 11-1) controls the
voltage reference module shown in Figure 11-1.
11.1
Configuring The Voltage
Reference
The voltage reference can output 32 voltage levels; 16
in a high range and 16 in a low range.
Equation 11-1 determines the output voltages:
EQUATION 11-1:
Voltage Reference Accuracy
The full range of VSS to VDD cannot be realized due to
construction of the module. The transistors on the top
and bottom of the resistor ladder network (see
Figure 11-1) keep CVREF from approaching VSS or
VDD. The exception is when the module is disabled by
clearing the VREN bit of the VRCON register. When
disabled, the reference voltage is VSS when VR<3:0>
is ‘0000’ and the VRR bit of the VRCON register is set.
This allows the comparator to detect a zero crossing
and not consume the CVREF module current.
The voltage reference is VDD derived and, therefore,
the CVREF output changes with fluctuations in VDD. The
tested absolute accuracy of the comparator voltage
reference can be found in Section 15.0 “Electrical
Characteristics”.

OPERATIONAL AMPLIFIER
(OPA) MODULE
The OPA module has the following features:
• Two independent Operational Amplifiers
• External connections to all ports
• 3 MHz Gain Bandwidth Product (GBWP)
12.1
OPACON Register
The OPA module is enabled by setting the OPAxON bit
of the OPACON Register.
Note:
When OPA1 or OPA2 is enabled, the OP1
pin or OP2 pin, respectively, is driven by
the op amp output, not by the port driver.
Refer to Table 15-5 for the electrical specifications for the op amp output drive
capability.

Effects of a Reset
Leakage current is a measure of the small source or
sink currents on the OP+ and OP- inputs. To minimize
the effect of leakage currents, the effective impedances
connected to the OP+ and OP- inputs should be kept
as small as possible and equal.
A device Reset forces all registers to their Reset state.
This disables both op amps.
12.3
OPA Module Performance
Input offset voltage is a measure of the voltage difference between the OP+ and OP- inputs in a closed loop
circuit with the OPA in its linear region. The offset voltage will appear as a DC offset in the output equal to the
input offset voltage, multiplied by the gain of the circuit.
The input offset voltage is also affected by the common
mode voltage.
Common AC and DC performance specifications for
the OPA module:
•
•
•
•
•
Common Mode Voltage Range
Leakage Current
Input Offset Voltage
Open Loop Gain
Gain Bandwidth Product (GBWP)
Open loop gain is the ratio of the output voltage to the
differential input voltage, (OP+) - (OP-). The gain is
greatest at DC and falls off with frequency.
Common mode voltage range is the specified voltage
range for the OP+ and OP- inputs, for which the OPA
module will perform to within its specifications. The
OPA module is designed to operate with input voltages
between 0 and VDD-1.5V. Behavior for common mode
voltages greater than VDD-1.5V, or below 0V, are
beyond the normal operating range.
TABLE 12-1:
x = Bit is unknown
Gain Bandwidth Product or GBWP is the frequency
at which the open loop gain falls off to 0 dB.
12.4
Effects of Sleep
When enabled, the op amps continue to operate and
consume current while the processor is in Sleep mode.

INSTRUCTION SET SUMMARY
The PIC16 instruction set is highly orthogonal and is
comprised of three basic categories.
• Byte-oriented operations
• Bit-oriented operations
• Literal and control operations
Each PIC16 instruction is a 12-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 formats for each of the
categories is presented in Figure 13-1, while the
various opcode fields are summarized in Table 13-1.
For byte-oriented instructions, ‘f’ represents a file
register designator and ‘d’ represents a destination
designator. The file register designator specifies which
file register is to be used by the instruction.
The destination designator specifies where the result of
the operation is to be placed. If ‘d’ is ‘0’, the result is
placed in the W register. If ‘d’ is ‘1’, the result is placed
in the file register specified in the instruction.
For bit-oriented instructions, ‘b’ represents a bit field
designator which selects the number of the bit affected
by the operation, while ‘f’ represents the number of the
file in which the bit is located.
For literal and control operations, ‘k’ represents an
8 or 9-bit constant or literal value.
TABLE 13-1:
Description
Register file address (0x00 to 0x7F)
W

b
Bit address within an 8-bit file register
k

x

The assembler will generate code with x = 0. It is
the recommended form of use for compatibility with
all Microchip software tools.
d

d = 0 (store result in W)
d = 1 (store result in file register ‘f’)

Figure 13-1 shows the three general formats that the
instructions can have. All examples in the figure use
the following format to represent a hexadecimal
number:
OPCODE FIELD
DESCRIPTIONS
Field
f
All instructions are executed within a single instruction
cycle, unless a conditional test is true or the program
counter is changed as a result of an instruction. In this
case, the execution takes 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.

Note 1: The 9th bit of the program counter will be forced to a ‘0’ by any instruction that writes to the PC except for
GOTO. See Section 4.6 “Program Counter”.
2: When an I/O register is modified as a function of itself (e.g. MOVF PORTB, 1), the value used will be that
value present on the pins themselves. For example, if the data latch is ‘1’ for a pin configured as input and
is driven low by an external device, the data will be written back with a ‘0’.
3: The instruction TRIS f, where f = 6, causes the contents of the W register to be written to the tri-state
latches of PORTA. A ‘1’ forces the pin to a high-impedance state and disables the output buffers.
4: If this instruction is executed on the TMR0 register (and, where applicable, d = 1), the prescaler will be
cleared (if assigned to TMR0).

only and is not tested.
2: This is the limit to which VDD can be lowered in Sleep mode without losing RAM data.
3: The supply current is mainly a function of the operating voltage and frequency. Other factors such as bus loading,
oscillator type, bus rate, internal code execution pattern and temperature also have an impact on the current
consumption.
4: 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 VSS, T0CKI = VDD, MCLR = VDD;
WDT enabled/disabled as specified.
5: For standby current measurements, the conditions are the same as IDD, except that the device is in Sleep mode. If
a module current is listed, the current is for that specific module enabled and the device in Sleep.
6: Does not include current through REXT. The current through the resistor can be estimated by the formula:

* These parameters are characterized but not tested.
Note 1: Data in the Typical (“Typ”) column is based on characterization results at 25°C. This data is for design guidance only and
is not tested.
2: This is the limit to which VDD can be lowered in Sleep mode without losing RAM data.
3: The supply current is mainly a function of the operating voltage and frequency. Other factors such as bus loading,
oscillator type, bus rate, internal code execution pattern and temperature also have an impact on the current consumption.
4: 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 VSS, T0CKI = VDD, MCLR = VDD; WDT
enabled/disabled as specified.
5: For standby current measurements, the conditions are the same as IDD, except that the device is in Sleep mode. If a
module current is listed, the current is for that specific module enabled and the device in Sleep.
6: Does not include current through REXT. The current through the resistor can be estimated by the formula:
I = VDD/2REXT (mA) with REXT in k.

DC AND AC CHARACTERISTICS GRAPHS AND CHARTS
The graphs and tables provided in this section are for design guidance and are not tested.
In some graphs or tables, the data presented are outside specified operating range (i.e., outside specified VDD
range). This is for information only and devices are ensured to operate properly only within the specified range.
Note:
The graphs and tables provided following this note are a statistical summary based on a limited number of
samples and are provided for informational purposes only. The performance characteristics listed herein
are not tested or guaranteed. In some graphs or tables, the data presented may be outside the specified
operating range (e.g., outside specified power supply range) and therefore, outside the warranted range.
“Typical” represents the mean of the distribution at 25C. “MAXIMUM”, “Max.”, “MINIMUM” or “Min.”
represents (mean + 3) or (mean - 3) respectively, where  is a standard deviation, over each
temperature range.

Note the following details of the code protection feature on Microchip devices:
•
Microchip products meet the specification contained in their particular Microchip Data Sheet.
•
Microchip believes that its family of products is one of the most secure families of its kind on the market today, when used in the
intended manner and under normal conditions.
•
There are dishonest and possibly illegal methods used to breach the code protection feature. All of these methods, to our
knowledge, require using the Microchip products in a manner outside the operating specifications contained in Microchip’s Data
Sheets. Most likely, the person doing so is engaged in theft of intellectual property.
•
Microchip is willing to work with the customer who is concerned about the integrity of their code.
•
Neither Microchip nor any other semiconductor manufacturer can guarantee the security of their code. Code protection does not
mean that we are guaranteeing the product as “unbreakable.”
Code protection is constantly evolving. We at Microchip are committed to continuously improving the code protection features of our
products. Attempts to break Microchip’s code protection feature may be a violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. If such acts
allow unauthorized access to your software or other copyrighted work, you may have a right to sue for relief under that Act.
Information contained in this publication regarding device
applications and the like is provided only for your convenience
and may be superseded by updates. It is your responsibility to
ensure that your application meets with your specifications.
MICROCHIP MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR
WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND WHETHER EXPRESS OR
IMPLIED, WRITTEN OR ORAL, STATUTORY OR
OTHERWISE, RELATED TO THE INFORMATION,
INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ITS CONDITION,
QUALITY, PERFORMANCE, MERCHANTABILITY OR
FITNESS FOR PURPOSE. Microchip disclaims all liability
arising from this information and its use. Use of Microchip
devices in life support and/or safety applications is entirely at
the buyer’s risk, and the buyer agrees to defend, indemnify and
hold harmless Microchip from any and all damages, claims,
suits, or expenses resulting from such use. No licenses are
