1.1
In the High-Voltage ICSP mode, the PIC16F88X
devices require two programmable power supplies:
one for VDD and one for MCLR/VPP. (See Section 6.0
“Program/Verify Mode Electrical Characteristics”
for more details.)

Program/Verify Mode
The Program/Verify mode for the PIC16F88X devices
allows programming of the user program memory, data
memory, user ID locations and the Configuration Word.
PROGRAMMING THE
PIC16F88X DEVICES
Programming and verification can take place in any
memory region, independent of the remaining regions.
This allows independent programming of program and
data memory regions.
The PIC16F88X can be programmed using the highvoltage In-Circuit Serial Programming™ (ICSP™)
method or the low-voltage ICSP method. Both of these
can be done with the device in the user’s system. The
low-voltage ICSP method is slightly different than the
high-voltage method and these differences are noted
where applicable. This programming specification
applies to these devices in all package types.

Note 1: In the PIC16F88X, the programming high voltage is internally generated. To activate the Program/Verify
mode, high voltage needs to be applied to MCLR input. Since the MCLR is used for a level source, MCLR
does not draw any significant current.

MEMORY DESCRIPTION
2.1
Program Memory Map
The user memory space extends from 0x0000-0x07FF
for the PIC16F882, 0x0000-0x0FFF for the
PIC16F883/884, and from 0x0000-0x1FFF for
PIC16F886/887. In Program/Verify mode, the program
memory space extends from 0x0000 to 0x3FFF, with
the first half being user program memory and the
second half (0x2000-0x3FFF) being configuration
memory. The PC will increment from 0x0000 to 0x1FFF
and wrap to 0x0000, 0x2000 to 0x3FFF and wrap
around to 0x2000 (not to 0x0000). Once in configuration memory, the highest bit of the PC stays a ‘1’, thus
always pointing to the configuration memory. The only
way to point to user program memory is to reset the
part and re-enter Program/Verify mode as described in
Section 3.0 “Program/Verify Mode”.
For the PIC16F88X devices, the configuration memory
space, 0x2000-0x2009, is physically implemented.
However, only locations 0x2000-0x2003 and 0x20070x2009 are available. Other locations are reserved.
2.2
User ID Locations
A user may store identification information (user ID) in
four designated locations. The user ID locations are
mapped in 0x2000-0x2003. It is recommended that the
user use only the seven Least Significant bits (LSb) of
each user ID location. The user ID locations read out
normally, even after code protection is enabled. It is
recommended that ID locations are written as
‘xx xxxx xbbb bbbb’ where ‘bbb bbbb’ is user ID
information.
The 14 bits may be programmed, but only the 7 LSbs
are displayed by MPLAB® IDE. The xxxx’s are “don’t
care” bits and are not read by MPLAB IDE.
2.3
Calibration Word
For the PIC16F88X devices, the 8 MHz Internal
Oscillator (INTOSC), the Power-on Reset (POR) and
the Brown-out Reset (BOR) modules are factory
calibrated and stored in the Calibration Word (0x2009).
See the applicable device data sheet for more
information.
The Calibration Word locations are written at the time
of manufacturing and are not erased when a Bulk
Erase is performed. See Section 3.2.6.10 “Bulk
Erase Program Memory” for more information on the
various erase sequences. However, it is possible to
inadvertently write to these locations. The device may
not function properly or may operate outside of specifications if the Calibration Word locations do not contain
the correct value. Therefore, it is recommended that
the Calibration Words be read prior to any programming procedure and verified after programming is complete. See Figure 3-22 for a flowchart of the
recommended verification procedure.
The device should not be used if the verification of the
Calibration Word values fail after the device is
programmed. The 0x3FFF value is a special case, it is
a valid calibration value but, it is also the erased state
of the register.

PROGRAM/VERIFY MODE
Two methods are available to enter Program/Verify
mode. The “VPP-first” is entered by holding ICSPDAT
and ICSPCLK low while raising MCLR pin from VIL to
VIHH (high voltage), then applying VDD and data. This
method can be used for any Configuration Word
selection and must be used if the INTOSC and internal
MCLR options are selected (FOSC<2:0> = 100 or 101
and MCLRE = 0). The VPP-first entry prevents the
device from executing code prior to entering Program/
Verify mode. See the timing diagram in Figure 3-1.
The second entry method, “VDD-first”, is entered by
applying VDD, holding ICSPDAT and ICSPCLK low,
then raising MCLR pin from VIL to VIHH (high voltage),
followed by data. This technique is useful when
programming the device when VDD is already applied,
for it is not necessary to disconnect VDD to enter
Program/Verify mode. See the timing diagram in
Figure 3-2.
Once in this mode, the program memory, data memory,
and configuration memory can be accessed and
programmed in serial fashion. ICSPDAT and ICSPCLK
are Schmitt Trigger inputs in this mode. RB6 is tri-state,
regardless of fuse setting.
The sequence that enters the device into the
Programming/Verify mode places all other logic into the
Reset state (the MCLR pin was initially at VIL).
Therefore, all I/O’s are in the Reset state (highimpedance inputs) and the Program Counter (PC) is
cleared.
When powering down VDD, make sure VDD does not
undershoot VSS. If VDD undershoots VSS while VPP is
applied, damage could be done to the device. To prevent possible damage to the device, power-down VPP
either before VDD or at the same time as VDD.
When programming a device with the internal MCLR
and INTOSC, care must be taken to prevent code
execution during power-down. If VDD is powered down
before VPP, there is a possibility for a VDD undershoot
to cause device damage. If VPP is powered down
before VDD, there is the possibility of code execution. If
VDD is powered down at the same time as VPP or just
slightly after VPP, code execution is prevented. See
Figure 3-3 for the timing.

3.1
Low-Voltage ICSP™ Mode
The Low-Voltage ICSP Programming mode allows the
PIC16F88X devices to be programmed using VDD only.
However, when this mode is enabled by a
Configuration bit (LVP), the PIC16F88X device
dedicates RB3 to control entry/exit into Programming
mode. When LVP bit is set to ‘1’, the low-voltage ICSP
programming entry is enabled. Since the LVP
Configuration
bit
allows
low-voltage
ICSP
programming entry in its erased state, an erased
device will have the LVP bit enabled at the factory.
While LVP is ‘1’, RB3 is dedicated to low-voltage ICSP
programming. Bring RB3 and then MCLR to VDD to
enter Programming mode. All other specifications for
high-voltage ICSP apply. To disable the Low-Voltage
ICSP mode, the LVP bit must be programmed to ‘0’.
This must be done while entered in the High-Voltage
Entry mode (LVP bit = ‘1’). RB3 is now a general
purpose I/O pin.
3.2
Program/Erase Algorithms
The PIC16F88X devices’ program memory may be
written in three ways. The PIC16F882/883/884 uses
one-word and four-word writes. The PIC16F886/887
uses one-word, four-word and eight-word writes. The
four-word or eight-word algorithm is used to program
the program memory only. The one-word algorithm can
write any available memory location (i.e., program
memory, configuration memory and data memory).
After writing the array, the PC may be reset and read
back to verify the write. It is not possible to verify
immediately following the write because the PC can
only increment, not decrement.
A device Reset will clear the PC and set the address to
‘0’. The Increment Address command will increment
the PC. The Load Configuration command will set the
PC to 0x2000. The available commands are shown in
Table 3-1.
3.2.1
EIGHT-WORD PROGRAMMING
Only the program memory on PIC16F886/887 can be
written using this algorithm. Data and configuration
memory (>0x2000) must use the one-word
programming agorithm (Section 3.2.3 “One-Word
Programming”).
This algorithm writes eight sequential addresses in
program memory. The eight addresses must point to an
eight-word block with addresses modulo 8 of 0, 1, 2, 3,
4, 5, 6 and 7. For example, programming address 8
through 15 can be programmed together.
Programming addresses 2 through 9 will create an
unexpected result.
The sequence for programming eight words of program
memory at a time is as follows:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
Load a word at the current program memory
address using Load Data for Program Memory
command.
Issue an Increment Address command.
Load a word at the current program memory
address using Load Data for Program Memory
command.
Repeat Step 2 and Step 3 six times.
Issue a Begin Programming command either
internally or externally timed.
Wait TPROG1 (internally timed) or TPROG2
(externally timed).
Issue End Programming if externally timed.
Issue an Increment Address command.
Repeat this sequence as required to write
program memory.
See Figure 3-18 for more information.
3.2.2
FOUR-WORD PROGRAMMING
Four-word programming can be used on all devices in
the PIC16F88X family. Only the program memory can
be written using this algorithm. Data and configuration
memory (>0x2000) must use the one-word
programming algorithm (Section 3.2.3 “One-Word
Programming”).
This algorithm writes four sequential addresses in
program memory. The four addresses must point to a
four-word block with addresses modulo 4 of 0, 1, 2 and
3. For example, programming address 4 through 7 can
be programmed together. Programming addresses 2
through 5 will create an unexpected result.
The sequence for programming four words of program
memory at a time is as follows:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
Load a word at the current program memory
address using Load Data for Program Memory
command.
Issue an Increment Address command.
Load a word at the current program memory
address using Load Data for Program Memory
command.
Repeat Step 2 and Step 3 two times.
Issue a Begin Programming command either
internally or externally timed.
Wait TPROG1 (internally timed) or TPROG2
(externally timed).
Issue End Programming if externally timed.
Issue an Increment Address command.
Repeat this sequence as required to write
program memory.
See Figure 3-17 for more information.

PIC16F88X
3.2.3
ONE-WORD PROGRAMMING
The program memory may also be written one word at
a time to allow compatibility with other 8-pin and 14-pin
Flash PIC® MCU devices. Configuration memory
(>0x2000) and data memory must be written one word
(or byte) at a time.
Note:
The write latches must be reset after
programming the user IDs (0x2000-0x2003)
or Configuration Words (0x2007-0x2008).
See Section 3.2.4 “Resetting Write
Latches”.
The sequence for programming one word of program
memory at a time is as follows:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
Load a word at the current program memory
address using Load Data For Program Memory
command.
Issue a Begin Programming command either
internally or externally timed.
Wait TPROG1 (internally timed) or TPROG2
(externally timed).
Issue End Programming if externally timed.
Issue an Increment Address command.
Repeat this sequence as required to write
program, data or configuration memory.
See Figure 3-16 for more information.
3.2.4
RESETTING WRITE LATCHES
The user IDs (0x2000-0x2003) and Configuration
Words (0x2007-0x2008) are mapped into the
configuration memory, but do not physically reside in it.
As a result, the write latches are not reset when
programming these locations and must be reset by the
programmer. This can be done in two ways, either
loading all eight latches with ‘1’s or by exiting Program/
Verify mode.
3.2.5
ERASE ALGORITHMS
The PIC16F88X will erase different memory locations
depending on the Program Counter (PC), CP and CPD
values, and which erase command is executed. The
following sequences can be used to erase noted
memory locations. In each sequence, the data memory
will be erased if the CPD bit in the Configuration Word
is programmed (clear).
To erase the program memory and Configuration
Words (0x2007-0x2008), the following sequence must
be performed. Note the Calibration Word (0x2009) and
user ID (0x2000-0x2003) will not be erased.
1.
2.
Do a Bulk Erase Program Memory command.
Wait TERA to complete erase.
To erase the user ID (0x2000-0x2003), Configuration
Words (0x2007-0x2008) and program memory, use the
following sequence.
Note:
1.
2.
3.
The Calibration Word (0x2009) will not be
erased.

SERIAL PROGRAM/VERIFY
OPERATION
During a read operation, the LSb will be transmitted
onto ICSPDAT pin on the rising edge of the second
cycle. For a load operation, the LSb will be latched on
the falling edge of the second cycle. A minimum TDLY1
delay is also specified between consecutive
commands, except for the End Programming
command, which requires a TDIS.
The ICSPCLK pin is used as a clock input and the
ICSPDAT pin is used for entering command bits and
data input/output during serial operation. To input a
command, ICSPCLK is cycled six times. Each
command bit is latched on the falling edge of the clock
with the LSb of the command being input first. The data
input onto the ICSPDAT pin is required to have a
minimum setup and hold time (see Table 6-1), with
respect to the falling edge of the clock. Commands that
have data associated with them (Read and Load) are
specified to have a minimum delay of TDLY1 between
the command and the data. After this delay, the clock
pin is cycled 16 times with the first cycle being a Start
bit and the last cycle being a Stop bit.
TABLE 3-1:
All commands and data words are transmitted LSb first.
Data is transmitted on the rising edge and latched on
the falling edge of the ICSPCLK. To allow for decoding
of commands and reversal of data pin configuration, a
time separation of at least TDLY1 is required between a
command and a data word.
The commands that are available are described in
Table 3-1.

Load Configuration
After the 6-bit command is input, ICSPCLK pin is
cycled an additional 16 times for the Start bit, 14 bits of
data and a Stop bit (see Figure 3-4).
The Load Configuration command is used to access
the Configuration Words (0x2007-0x2008) and user ID
(0x2000-0x2003). This command sets the Program
Counter (PC) to address 0x2000 and loads the data
latches with one word of data.
After the configuration memory is entered, the only way
to get back to the program memory is to exit the
Program/Verify mode by taking MCLR low (VIL).
After receiving a Load Configuration command, the
Configuration Word is accessed by performing an
Increment Address command 7 or 8 times to point the
PC to Configuration Word 0x2007 or 0x2008. It can
then be programmed with the loaded data using a
Begin Programming command either internally or
externally timed.

Load Data for Data Memory
After receiving this command, the chip will load in a
14-bit “data word” when 16 cycles are applied.
However, the data memory is only 8 bits wide and thus,
only the first 8 bits of data after the Start bit will be
programmed into the data memory. It is still necessary
to cycle the clock the full 16 cycles in order to allow the
internal circuitry to reset properly. The data memory
contains 256 bytes.

After receiving this command, the chip will transmit

second rising edge of the clock input. The data pin will
go into Output mode on the second rising clock edge,
and it will revert to Input mode (high-impedance) after
the 16th rising edge.
If the program memory is code-protected (CP = 0), the
data is read as zeros.

CONFIGURATION WORD
The PIC16F88X has several Configuration bits. These
bits can be programmed (reads ‘0’), or left unchanged
(reads ‘1’), to select various device configurations.
4.1
Low-Voltage Programming (LVP)
Bit
The LVP bit in the Configuration Word 1 register
enables low-voltage ICSP programming. The LVP bit
defaults to a ‘1’ following an erase. If Low-Voltage Programming mode is not used, the LVP bit can be programmed to a ‘0’ and RB3/PGM becomes a digital I/O
pin. However, the LVP bit may only be programmed by
entering the High-Voltage ICSP mode, where MCLR/
VPP is raised to VIHH. Once the LVP bit is programmed
to a ‘0’, only the High-Voltage ICSP mode is available
and only the High-Voltage ICSP mode can be used to
program the device.
Note 1: The normal High-Voltage ICSP mode is
always available, regardless of the state
of the LVP bit, by applying VIHH to the
MCLR/VPP pin.
2: While in Low-Voltage ICSP mode, the
RB3 pin can no longer be used as a
general purpose I/O.
3: If the device Master Clear is disabled,
verify that either of the following is done to
ensure proper entry into ICSP mode:
a) disable Low-Voltage Programming
(Config Word 1<12> = 0); or
b) make certain that RB3/PGM is held low
during entry into ICSP.

PIC16F88X
5.0
CODE PROTECTION
For PIC16F88X, once the CP bit is programmed to ‘0’,
all program memory locations read all ‘0’s. Further
programming is disabled for the entire program
memory.
Data memory is protected with its own Code-Protect bit
(CPD). When enabled, the data memory can still be
programmed and read using the EECON1 register
(See the applicable data sheet for more information).
The user ID locations and the Configuration Word can
be programmed and read out regardless of the state of
the CP and CPD bits.
5.1
Disabling Code Protection
It is recommended to use the procedure in Figure 3-21
to disable code protection of the device. This sequence
will erase the program memory, data memory, Configuration Word (0x2007-0x2008) and user ID locations
(0x2000-0x2003). The Calibration Words (0x2009) will
not be erased.
Note:
5.2
To ensure system security, if CPD bit = 0,
Bulk Erase Program Memory command
will also erase data memory.
Embedding Configuration Words
and User ID Information in the Hex
File
To allow portability of code, the programmer is required
to read the Configuration Words and user ID locations
from the hex file when loading the hex file. If Configuration Words information was not present in the hex file,
a simple warning message may be issued. Similarly,
while saving a hex file, Configuration Words and user
ID information must be included. An option to not
include this information may be provided.
5.3
5.3.1
Checksum Computation
CHECKSUM
Checksum is calculated by reading the contents of the
PIC16F88X memory locations and adding up the
opcodes up to the maximum user addressable location,
(e.g., 0x1FFF for PIC16F886/887). Any carry bits
exceeding 16 bits are neglected. Finally, the Configuration Words (appropriately masked) are added to the
checksum. Checksum computation for the PIC16F88X
devices is shown in Table 5-1.
The checksum is calculated by summing the following:
• The contents of all program memory locations
• The Configuration Words, appropriately masked
• Masked user ID locations (when applicable)
The Least Significant 16 bits of this sum is the
checksum.
The following table describes how to calculate the
checksum for each device. Note that the checksum
calculation differs depending on the code-protect
setting. Since the program memory locations read out
zeroes when code-protected, the table describes how
to manipulate the actual program memory values to
simulate values that would be read from a protected
device. When calculating a checksum by reading a
device, the entire program memory can simply be read
and summed. The Configuration Words and user ID
locations can always be read regardless of codeprotect setting.
Note:
Some older devices have an additional
value added in the checksum. This is to
maintain compatibility with older device
programmer checksums.
Specifically for the PIC16F88X, the data memory
should also be embedded in the hex file (see
Section 5.3.2 “Embedding Data Memory Contents
In Hex File”).
Microchip Technology Incorporated feels strongly that
this feature is important for the benefit of the end
customer.

5.3.2
EMBEDDING DATA MEMORY
CONTENTS IN HEX FILE
The programmer should be able to read data memory
information from a hex file and conversely (as an
option), write data memory contents to a hex file along
with program memory information and Configuration
Words (0x2007-0x2008) and user ID (0x2000-0x2003)
information.
The physical address range of the 256 data memory is
0x0000-0x00FF. However, these addresses are
logically mapped to address 0x2100-0x21FF for use in
writing assembly code. This provides a way of
differentiating between the data and program memory
locations in this range. The format for data memory
storage is one data byte per address location, LSb
aligned. A simple example of data memory is given
below:
