DEVICE OVERVIEW
2.1
In High Voltage ICSP mode, the PIC18FXX31 requires
two programmable power supplies: one for VDD and
one for MCLR/VPP. Both supplies should have a
minimum resolution of 0.25V. Refer to Section 6.0 for
additional hardware parameters.

PROGRAMMING OVERVIEW
OF THE PIC18FXX31
LOW VOLTAGE ICSP
PROGRAMMING
In Low Voltage ICSP mode, the PIC18FXX31 can be
programmed using a VDD source in the operating
range. This only means that MCLR/VPP does not have
to be brought to a different voltage but can instead be
left at the normal operating voltage. Refer to
Section 6.0 for additional hardware parameters.
PIC18FXX31 devices can be programmed using either
the high voltage In-Circuit Serial ProgrammingTM
(ICSPTM) method, or the low voltage ICSP method.
Both of these can be done with the device in the users’
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 PIC18FXX31 devices in all
package types.

In addition to the code memory space, there are three
blocks in the configuration and ID space that are accessible to the user through table reads and table writes.
Their locations in the memory map are shown in
Figure 2-5.
Users may store identification information (ID) in eight
ID registers. These ID registers are mapped in
addresses 200000h through 200007h. The ID locations
read out normally even after code protection is applied.
Locations 300000h through 30000Dh are reserved for
the configuration bits. These bits select various device
options and are described in Section 5.0. These
configuration bits read out normally even after code
protection.
Locations 3FFFFEh and 3FFFFFh are reserved for the
device ID bits. These bits may be used by the programmer to identify what device type is being programmed
and are described in Section 5.0. These device ID bits
read out normally even after code protection.

FIGURE 2-7:
Figure 2-7 shows the high level overview of the programming process. First, a bulk erase is performed.
Next, the code memory, ID locations, and data
EEPROM are programmed. These memories are then
verified to ensure that programming was successful. If
no errors are detected, the configuration bits are then
programmed and verified.

memory may be erased portions at a time, or the user
may erase the entire device in one action. “Bulk Erase”
operations will also clear any code protect settings
associated with the memory block erased. Erase
options are detailed in Table 3-1.

The actual bulk erase function is a self-timed operation.
Once the erase has started (falling edge of the 4th
SCLK after the NOP command), serial execution will
cease until the erase completes (parameter P11). During this time, SCLK may continue to toggle but SDATA
must be held low.

A bulk erase is the only way to reprogram
code protect bits from an on-state to an

Irrespective of whether high or low voltage ICSP is
used, it is possible to erase single row (64 bytes of
data) in all panels at once. For example, in the case of
a 16-Kbyte device (4 panels), 512 bytes through 64
bytes in each panel can be erased simultaneously during each erase sequence. In this case, the offset of the
erase within each panel is the same (see Figure 3-5).
Multi-panel single row erase is enabled by appropriately configuring the Programming Control register
located at 3C0006h.
DS30500B-page 10
The multi-panel single row erase duration is externally
timed and is controlled by SCLK. After a “Start Programming” command is issued (4-bit, ‘1111’), a NOP is
issued, where the 4th SCLK is held high for the
duration of the programming time, P9.
After SCLK is brought low, the programming sequence
is terminated. SCLK must be held low for the time specified by parameter P10 to allow high voltage discharge
of the memory array.
The code sequence to program a PIC18FXX31 device
is shown in Table 3-3. The flowchart shown in
Figure 3-3 depicts the logic necessary to completely
erase a PIC18FXX31 device. The timing diagram that
details the “Start Programming” command, and
parameters P9 and P10 is shown in Figure 3-6.
Note:
The TBLPTR register must contain the
same offset value when initiating the programming sequence as it did when the
write buffers were loaded.

Code Memory Programming
Programming code memory is accomplished by first
loading data into the appropriate write buffers and then
initiating a programming sequence. Each panel in the
code memory space (see Figure 2-4) has an 8-byte
deep write buffer that must be loaded prior to initiating
a write sequence. The actual memory write sequence
takes the contents of these buffers and programs the
associated EEPROM code memory.
Typically, all of the program buffers are written in parallel (Multi-Panel Write mode). In other words, in the case
of a 16-Kbyte device (2 panels with an 8-byte buffer per
panel), 16 bytes will be simultaneously programmed
during each programming sequence. In this case, the
offset of the write within each panel is the same (see
Figure 3-4). Multi-Panel Write mode is enabled by
appropriately configuring the Programming Control
register located at 3C0006h.
FIGURE 3-4:
The programming duration is externally timed and is
controlled by SCLK. After a “Start Programming” command is issued (4-bit command, ‘1111’), a NOP is

After SCLK is brought low, the programming sequence
is terminated. SCLK must be held low for the time specified by parameter P10 to allow high voltage discharge

3.2.1
SINGLE PANEL PROGRAMMING
The programming example presented in Section 3.2
utilizes multi-panel programming. This technique
greatly decreases the total amount of time necessary to
completely program a device and is the recommended
method of completely programming a device.
There may be situations, however, where it is advantageous to limit writes to a single panel. In such cases,
the user only needs to disable the multi-panel write
feature of the device by appropriately configuring the
Programming Control register located at 3C0006h.
The single panel that will be written will automatically
be enabled based on the value of the table pointer.
Note:
3.2.2
Even though multi-panel writes are disabled, the user must still fill the 8-byte
write buffer for the given panel.
MODIFYING CODE MEMORY
All of the programming examples up to this point have
assumed that the device has been bulk erased prior to
programming (see Section 3.1). It may be the case,
however, that the user wishes to modify only a section
of an already programmed device.
The minimum amount of data that can be written to the
device is 8 bytes. This is accomplished by placing the
device in Single Panel Write mode (see Section 3.2.1),
loading the 8-byte write buffer for the panel, and then
initiating a write sequence. In this case, however, it is
assumed that the address space to be written already
has data in it (i.e., it is not blank).
 2010 Microchip Technology Inc.
The minimum amount of code memory that may be
erased at a given time is 64 bytes. Again, the device must
be placed in Single Panel Write mode. The EECON1
register must then be used to erase the 64-byte target
space prior to writing the data.
When using the EECON1 register to act on code
memory, the EEPGD bit must be set (EECON1<7> = 1)
and the CFGS bit must be cleared (EECON1<6> = 0).
The WREN bit must be set (EECON1<2> = 1) to
enable writes of any sort (e.g., erases), and this must
be done prior to initiating a write sequence. The FREE
bit must be set (EECON1<4> = 1) in order to erase the
program space being pointed to by the table pointer.
The erase sequence is initiated by the setting the WR
bit (EECON1<1> = 1). It is strongly recommended that
the WREN bit be set only when absolutely necessary.
To help prevent inadvertent writes when using the
EECON1 register, EECON2 is used to “enable” the WR
bit. This register must be sequentially loaded with 55h
and then AAh, immediately prior to asserting the WR bit
in order for the write to occur.
The erase will begin on the falling edge of the 4th SCLK
after the WR bit is set. After the erase sequence terminates, SCLK must still be held low for the time specified
by parameter #P10 to allow high voltage discharge of
the memory array.

Data EEPROM Programming
PROGRAM DATA FLOW
Data EEPROM is accessed one byte at a time via an
Address Pointer (register pair EEADR:EEADRH) and a
data latch (EEDATA). Data EEPROM is written by loading EEADR:EEADRH with the desired memory location, EEDATA with the data to be written, and initiating
a memory write by appropriately configuring the
EECON1 and EECON2 registers. A byte write automatically erases the location and writes the new data
(erase-before-write).

When using the EECON1 register to perform a data

and this must be done prior to initiating a write

Boot Block Programming
3.6
The boot block segment is programmed in exactly the
same manner as the ID locations (see Section 3.4).
Multi-panel writes must be disabled so that only
addresses in the range 0000h to 01FFh will be written.
The code sequence detailed in Table 3-7 should be
used, except that the address data used in “Step 2” will
be in the range 000000h to 0001FFh.
TABLE 3-8:
Configuration Bits Programming
Unlike code memory, the configuration bits are
programmed a byte at a time. The “Table Write, Begin
Programming” 4-bit command (1111) is used but only
8 bits of the following 16-bit payload will be written. The
LSB of the payload will be written to even addresses,
and the MSB will be written to odd addresses. The code
sequence to program two consecutive configuration
locations is shown in Table 3-8.

If the code protection bits are programmed while the program counter resides in the same block, then the interaction of
code protection logic may prevent further table write. To avoid this situation, move the program counter outside the
code protection area (e.g., GOTO 100000h).
Enabling the write protection of configuration bits (WRTC = 0 in CONFIG6H) will prevent further writing of configuration
bits. Always write all the configuration bits before enabling the write protection for configuration bits.

READING THE DEVICE
4.1
Read Code Memory, ID Locations,
and Configuration Bits
The 4-bit command is shifted in LSb first. The table
read is executed during the next 8 clocks, then shifted
out on SDATA during the last 8 clocks, LSb to MSb. A
delay of P6 must be introduced after the falling edge of
the 8th SCLK of the operand to allow SDATA to transition from an input to an output. During this time, SCLK
must be held low (see Figure 4-1). This operation also
increments the table pointer by one, pointing to the next
byte in code memory for the next read.
Code memory is accessed one byte at a time via the
4-bit command, ‘1001’ (table read, post-increment).
The contents of memory pointed to by the table pointer
(TBLPTRU:TBLPTRH:TBLPTRL) are loaded into the
table latch and then serially output on SDATA.
TABLE 4-1:
This technique will work to read any memory in the
000000h to 3FFFFFh address space, so it also applies
to the reading of the ID and Configuration registers.

Verify Code Memory and ID
Locations
The verify step involves reading back the code memory
space and comparing against the copy held in the programmer’s buffer. Memory reads occur a single byte at
a time, so two bytes must be read to compare against
the word in the programmer’s buffer. Refer to
Section 4.1 for implementation details of reading code
memory.
FIGURE 4-2:
The table pointer must be manually set to 200000h
(base address of the ID locations) once the code memory has been verified. The post-increment feature of
the table read 4-bit command may not be used to increment the table pointer beyond the code memory space.
In a 16-Kbyte device, for example, a post-increment
read of address 3FFFh will wrap the table pointer back
to 0000h, rather than point to unimplemented address
4000h.

READ DATA EEPROM
FLOW
A configuration address may be read and output on
SDATA via the 4-bit command, ‘1001’. Configuration
data is read and written in a byte-wise fashion, so it is
not necessary to merge two bytes into a word prior to a
compare. The result may then be immediately
compared to the appropriate configuration data in the
programmer’s memory for verification. Refer to

Read Data EEPROM Memory
Data EEPROM is accessed one byte at a time via an
Address Pointer (register pair EEADR:EEADRH) and a
data latch (EEDATA). Data EEPROM is read by loading
EEADR:EEADRH with the desired memory location
and initiating a memory read by appropriately configuring the EECON1 register. The data will be loaded into
EEDATA, where it may be serially output on SDATA via
the 4-bit command, ‘0010’ (Shift Out Data Holding register). A delay of P6 must be introduced after the falling
edge of the 8th SCLK of the operand to allow SDATA to
transition from an input to an output. During this time,
SCLK must be held low (see Figure 4-4).

Verify Data EEPROM
A data EEPROM address may be read via a sequence
of core instructions (4-bit command, ‘0000’) and then
output on SDATA via the 4-bit command, ‘0010’ (Shift
Out Data Holding register). The result may then be
immediately compared to the appropriate data in the
programmer’s memory for verification. Refer to
Section 4.4 for implementation details of reading data
EEPROM.
4.6
Given that “Blank Checking” is merely code and data
EEPROM verification with FFh expect data, refer to
Section 4.4 and Section 4.2 for implementation details.
FIGURE 4-5:
BLANK CHECK FLOW
Start
Blank Check Device
Blank Check
The term “Blank Check” means to verify that the device
has no programmed memory cells. All memories must
be verified: code memory, data EEPROM, ID locations,
and configuration bits. The Device ID registers
(3FFFFEh:3FFFFFh) should be ignored.
Is
Device
Blank?
A “blank” or “erased” memory cell will read as a ‘1’. So,
“Blank Checking” a device merely means to verify that
all bytes read as FFh except the configuration bits.
Unused (reserved) configuration bits will read ‘0’ (programmed). Refer to Table 5-2 and Table 5-3 for blank
configuration expect data for the various PIC18FXX31
devices.

CONFIGURATION WORD
5.3
The PIC18FXX31 devices have several configuration
words. These bits can be set or cleared to select various device configurations. All other memory areas
should be programmed and verified prior to setting configuration words. These bits may be read out normally
even after read or code protection.
5.1
The LVP bit in Configuration register, CONFIG4L,
enables low voltage ICSP programming. The LVP bit
defaults to a ‘1’ from the factory.
If Low Voltage Programming mode is not used, the LVP
bit can be programmed to a ‘0’ and RB5/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.
ID Locations
A user may store identification information (ID) in eight
ID locations mapped in 200000h:200007h. It is recommended that the Most Significant nibble of each ID be
0Fh. In doing so, if the user code inadvertently tries to
execute from the ID space, the ID data will execute as
NOP.
5.2
Note 1: The normal ICSP mode is always available, regardless of the state of the LVP
bit, by applying VIHH to the MCLR/VPP
pin.
Device ID Word
2: While in Low Voltage ICSP mode, the
RB5 pin can no longer be used as a
general purpose I/O.
The device ID word for the PIC18FXX31 is located at
3FFFFEh:3FFFFFh. These bits may be used by the
programmer to identify what device type is being
programmed and read out normally even after code or
read protection.

Embedding Configuration Word
Information in the HEX File
To allow portability of code, a PIC18FXX31 programmer is required to read the configuration word locations
from the HEX file. If configuration word information is
not present in the HEX file, then a simple warning message should be issued. Similarly, while saving a HEX
file, all configuration word information must be
included. An option to not include the configuration
word information may be provided. When embedding
configuration word information in the HEX file, it should
start at address 300000h.
Microchip Technology Inc. feels strongly that this
feature is important for the benefit of the end customer.
 2010 Microchip Technology Inc.
5.5
Checksum Computation
The checksum is calculated by summing the following:
• The contents of all code memory locations
• The configuration word, appropriately masked
• ID locations
The Least Significant 16 bits of this sum are the
checksum.
Table 5-5 (pages 34 through 36) describes how to
calculate the checksum for each device.
Note 1: The checksum calculation differs depending on the code protect setting. Since the
code memory locations read out differently depending on the code protect setting, the table describes how to
manipulate the actual code memory values to simulate the values that would be
read from a protected device. When calculating a checksum by reading a device,
the entire code memory can simply be
read and summed. The configuration
word and ID locations can always be
read.

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.
•
