PIC18F458
These devices are available in 28-pin, 40-pin and
44-pin packages. They are differentiated from each
other in four ways:
1.
PIC18FX58 devices have twice the FLASH program memory and data RAM of PIC18FX48
devices (32 Kbytes and 1536 bytes vs.
16 Kbytes and 768 bytes, respectively).
TABLE 1-1:
PIC18F2X8 devices implement 5 A/D channels,
as opposed to 8 for PIC18F4X8 devices.
PIC18F2X8 devices implement 3 I/O ports,
while PIC18F4X8 devices implement 5.
Only PIC18F4X8 devices implement the
Enhanced CCP module, analog comparators
and the Parallel Slave Port.
All other features for devices in the PIC18FXX8 family,
including the serial communications modules, are
identical. These are summarized in Table 1-1.

RC Oscillator
For timing insensitive applications, the “RC” and
"RCIO" device options offer 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 2-2 shows how the RC
combination is connected.
In the RC Oscillator mode, the oscillator frequency
divided by 4 is available on the OSC2 pin. This signal
may be used for test purposes or to synchronize other
logic.

These values are for design guidance only.

Recommended values:
Note 1: Recommended values of C1 and C2 are
identical to the ranges tested (Table 2-1).
2: Higher capacitance increases the stability
of the oscillator, but also increases the
start-up time.
3: Since each resonator/crystal has its own
characteristics, the user should consult the
resonator/crystal manufacturer for
appropriate values of external components.
4: Rs may be required in HS mode, as well as
XT mode, to avoid overdriving crystals with
low drive level specification.

External Clock Input
The EC and ECIO Oscillator modes require an external
clock source to be connected to the OSC1 pin. The
feedback device between OSC1 and OSC2 is turned
off in these modes to save current. There is no oscillator start-up time required after a Power-on Reset or
after a recovery from SLEEP mode.
In the EC Oscillator mode, the oscillator frequency
divided by 4 is available on the OSC2 pin. This signal
may be used for test purposes or to synchronize other
logic. Figure 2-3 shows the pin connections for the EC
Oscillator mode.

HS4 (PLL)
A Phase Locked Loop circuit is provided as a programmable option for users that want to multiply the frequency of the incoming crystal oscillator signal by 4.
For an input clock frequency of 10 MHz, the internal
clock frequency will be multiplied to 40 MHz. This is
useful for customers who are concerned with EMI due
to high frequency crystals.
The PLL can only be enabled when the oscillator configuration bits are programmed for HS mode. If they are
programmed for any other mode, the PLL is not
enabled and the system clock will come directly from
OSC1.
The PLL is one of the modes of the FOSC2:FOSC0
configuration bits. The Oscillator mode is specified during device programming.
A PLL lock timer is used to ensure that the PLL has
locked before device execution starts. The PLL lock
timer has a time-out referred to as TPLL.

Oscillator Switching Feature
The PIC18FXX8 devices include a feature that allows
the system clock source to be switched from the main
oscillator to an alternate low frequency clock source.
For the PIC18FXX8 devices, this alternate clock source
is the Timer1 oscillator. If a low frequency crystal
(32 kHz, for example) has been attached to the Timer1
oscillator pins and the Timer1 oscillator has been
enabled, the device can switch to a Low Power Execution mode. Figure 2-6 shows a block diagram of the system clock sources. The clock switching feature is
enabled by programming the Oscillator Switching
Enable (OSCSEN) bit in Configuration register,
CONFIG1H, to a ’0’. Clock switching is disabled in an
erased device. See Section 12.2 for further details of
the Timer1 oscillator, and Section 24.1 for Configuration
Register details.
FIGURE 2-6:
SYSTEM CLOCK SWITCH BIT
The system clock source switching is performed under
software control. The system clock switch bit, SCS
(OSCCON register), controls the clock switching. When
the SCS bit is ’0’, the system clock source comes from
the main oscillator selected by the FOSC2:FOSC0 configuration bits. When the SCS bit is set, the system clock
source comes from the Timer1 oscillator. The SCS bit is
cleared on all forms of RESET.
Note:
The Timer1 oscillator must be enabled to
switch the system clock source. The
Timer1 oscillator is enabled by setting the
T1OSCEN bit in the Timer1 control register
(T1CON). If the Timer1 oscillator is not
enabled, any write to the SCS bit will be
ignored (SCS bit forced cleared) and the
main oscillator continues to be the system
clock source.

OSCILLATOR TRANSITIONS
The sequence of events that takes place when switching from the Timer1 oscillator to the main oscillator will
depend on the mode of the main oscillator. In addition
to eight clock cycles of the main oscillator, additional
delays may take place.
The PIC18FXX8 devices contain circuitry to prevent
"glitches" when switching between oscillator sources.
Essentially, the circuitry waits for eight rising edges of
the clock source that the processor is switching to. This
ensures that the new clock source is stable and that its
pulse width will not be less than the shortest pulse
width of the two clock sources.
If the main oscillator is configured for an external crystal (HS, XT, LP), the transition will take place after an
oscillator start-up time (TOST) has occurred. A timing
diagram indicating the transition from the Timer1 oscillator to the main oscillator for HS, XT, and LP modes is
shown in Figure 2-8.
Figure 2-7 shows a timing diagram indicating the transition from the main oscillator to the Timer1 oscillator.
The Timer1 oscillator is assumed to be running all the
time. After the SCS bit is set, the processor is frozen at
the next occurring Q1 cycle. After eight synchronization
cycles are counted from the Timer1 oscillator, operation resumes. No additional delays are required after
the synchronization cycles.

If the main oscillator is configured for HS4 (PLL) mode,
an oscillator start-up time (TOST) plus an additional PLL
time-out (TPLL) will occur. The PLL time-out is typically
2 ms and allows the PLL to lock to the main oscillator
frequency. A timing diagram indicating the transition
from the Timer1 oscillator to the main oscillator for HS4
mode is shown in Figure 2-9.
FIGURE 2-9:
If the main oscillator is configured in the RC, RCIO, EC

Effects of SLEEP Mode on the
On-Chip Oscillator
RESET until the device power supply and clock are stable. For additional information on RESET operation,
see Section 3.0.
When the device executes a SLEEP instruction, the
on-chip clocks and oscillator are turned off and the
device is held at the beginning of an instruction cycle
(Q1 state). With the oscillator off, the OSC1 and OSC2
signals will stop oscillating. Since all the transistor
switching currents have been removed, SLEEP mode
achieves the lowest current consumption of the device
(only leakage currents). Enabling any on-chip feature
that will operate during SLEEP will increase the current
consumed during SLEEP. The user can wake from
SLEEP through external RESET, Watchdog Timer
Reset, or through an interrupt.
2.8
Power-up Delays
Power-up delays are controlled by two timers, so that
no external RESET circuitry is required for most applications. The delays ensure that the device is kept in
TABLE 2-3:
The first timer is the Power-up Timer (PWRT), which
optionally provides a fixed delay of TPWRT (parameter
#D033) on power-up only (POR and BOR). The second
timer is the Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST), intended to
keep the chip in RESET until the crystal oscillator is
stable.
With the PLL enabled (HS4 Oscillator mode), the timeout sequence following a Power-on Reset is different
from other Oscillator modes. The time-out sequence is
as follows: the PWRT time-out is invoked after a POR
time delay has expired, then the Oscillator Start-up
Timer (OST) is invoked. However, this is still not a sufficient amount of time to allow the PLL to lock at high
frequencies. The PWRT timer is used to provide an
additional time-out. This time is called TPLL (parameter
#7) to allow the PLL ample time to lock to the incoming
clock frequency.

Most registers are not affected by a WDT wake-up,
since this is viewed as the resumption of normal operation. Status bits from the RCON register, RI, TO, PD,
POR and BOR are set or cleared differently in different
RESET situations, as indicated in Table 3-2. These bits
are used in software to determine the nature of the
RESET. See Table 3-3 for a full description of the
RESET states of all registers.
A simplified block diagram of the on-chip RESET circuit
is shown in Figure 3-1.
The Enhanced MCU devices have a MCLR noise filter
in the MCLR Reset path. The filter will detect and
ignore small pulses.
A WDT Reset does not drive MCLR pin low.

3.1
Power-on Reset (POR)
3.3
A Power-on Reset pulse is generated on-chip when a
VDD rise is detected. To take advantage of the POR circuitry, connect the MCLR pin directly (or through a
resistor) to VDD. This eliminates external RC components usually needed to create a Power-on Reset
delay. A minimum rise rate for VDD is specified (refer to
parameter D004). For a slow rise time, see Figure 3-2.
When the device starts normal operation (exits the
RESET condition), device operating parameters (voltage, frequency, temperature, etc.) must be met to
ensure operation. If these conditions are not met, the
device must be held in RESET until the operating conditions are met. Brown-out Reset may be used to meet
the voltage start-up condition.
3.2
MCLR
PIC18FXX8 devices have a noise filter in the MCLR
Reset path. The filter will detect and ignore small
pulses.
It should be noted that a WDT Reset does not drive
MCLR pin low.
The behavior of the ESD protection on the MCLR pin
differs from previous devices of this family. Voltages
applied to the pin that exceed its specification can
result in both resets and current draws outside of
device specification during the RESET event. For this
reason, Microchip recommends that the MCLR pin no
longer be tied directly to VDD. The use of an RC
network, as shown in Figure 3-2, is suggested.

Power-up Timer (PWRT)
The Power-up Timer provides a fixed nominal time-out
(parameter #33), only on power-up from the POR. The
Power-up Timer operates on an internal RC oscillator.
The chip is kept in RESET as long as the PWRT is
active. The PWRT’s time delay allows VDD to rise to an
acceptable level. A configuration bit (PWRTEN in
CONFIG2L register) is provided to enable/disable the
PWRT.
The power-up time delay will vary from chip to chip due
to VDD, temperature and process variation. See DC
parameter #33 for details.
3.4
Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST)
The Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) provides 1024
oscillator cycle (from OSC1 input) delay after the
PWRT delay is over (parameter #32). This additional
delay ensures that the crystal oscillator or resonator
has started and stabilized.
The OST time-out is invoked only for XT, LP, HS and
HS4 modes and only on Power-on Reset or wake-up
from SLEEP.
3.5
PLL Lock Time-out
With the PLL enabled, the time-out sequence following
a Power-on Reset is different from other oscillator
modes. A portion of the Power-up Timer is used to provide a fixed time-out that is sufficient for the PLL to lock
to the main oscillator frequency. This PLL lock time-out
(TPLL) is typically 2 ms and follows the oscillator
start-up time-out (OST).
3.6
Brown-out Reset (BOR)
A configuration bit, BOREN, can disable (if clear/
programmed), or enable (if set), the Brown-out Reset
circuitry. If VDD falls below parameter D005 for greater
than parameter #35, the brown-out situation resets the
chip. A RESET may not occur if VDD falls below parameter D005 for less than parameter #35. The chip will
remain in Brown-out Reset until VDD rises above BVDD.
The Power-up Timer will then be invoked and will keep
the chip in RESET an additional time delay (parameter
#33). If VDD drops below BVDD while the Power-up
Timer is running, the chip will go back into a Brown-out
Reset and the Power-up Timer will be initialized. Once
VDD rises above BVDD, the Power-up Timer will
execute the additional time delay.
Preliminary
 2002 Microchip Technology Inc.
PIC18FXX8
3.7
Time-out Sequence
Since the time-outs occur from the POR pulse, if MCLR
is kept low long enough, the time-outs will expire.
Bringing MCLR high will begin execution immediately
(Figure 3-5). This is useful for testing purposes or to
synchronize more than one PIC18FXX8 device
operating in parallel.
On power-up, the time-out sequence is as follows:
First, PWRT time-out is invoked after the POR time
delay has expired, then OST is activated. The total
time-out will vary based on oscillator configuration and
the status of the PWRT. For example, in RC mode with
the PWRT disabled, there will be no time-out at all.
Figure 3-3, Figure 3-4, Figure 3-5, Figure 3-6 and
Figure 3-7 depict time-out sequences on power-up.

Legend: u = unchanged, x = unknown, - = unimplemented bit, read as ’0’, q = value depends on condition.
Shaded cells indicate conditions do not apply for the designated device.
Note 1: One or more bits in the INTCONx or PIRx registers will be affected (to cause wake-up).
2: When the wake-up is due to an interrupt and the GIEL or GIEH bit is set, the PC is loaded with the interrupt
vector (0008h or 0018h).
3: When the wake-up is due to an interrupt and the GIEL or GIEH bit is set, the TOSU, TOSH and TOSL are
updated with the current value of the PC. The STKPTR is modified to point to the next location in the
hardware stack.
4: See Table 3-2 for RESET value for specific condition.
5: Bit 6 of PORTA, LATA, and TRISA are enabled in ECIO and RCIO Oscillator modes only. In all other
Oscillator modes, they are disabled and read ’0’.
6: Values for CANSTAT also apply to to its other instances (CANSTATRO1 through CANSTATRO4).

MEMORY ORGANIZATION
There are three memory blocks in Enhanced MCU
devices. These memory blocks are:
• Enhanced FLASH Program Memory
• Data Memory
• EEPROM Data Memory
4.1.1
Data and program memory use separate busses,
which allows concurrent access of these blocks. Additional detailed information on Data EEPROM and
FLASH program memory is provided in Section 5.0 and
Section 6.0, respectively.
4.1
Figure 4-1 shows the diagram for program memory
map and stack for the PIC18F258 and PIC18F458.
Figure 4-2 shows the the diagram for the program
memory map and stack for the PIC18F248 and
PIC18F448.
Program Memory Organization
The PIC18F258/458 devices have a 21-bit program
counter that is capable of addressing a 2 Mbyte
program memory space.
INTERNAL PROGRAM MEMORY
OPERATION
The PIC18F258 and the PIC18F458 have 32 Kbytes of
internal Enhanced FLASH program memory. This
means that the PIC18F258 and the PIC18F458 can
store up to 16K of single word instructions. The
PIC18F248 and PIC18F448 have 16 Kbytes of
Enhanced FLASH program memory. This translates
into 8192 single-word instructions, which can be stored
in the Program memory. Accessing a location between
the physically implemented memory and the 2 Mbyte
address will cause a read of all '0's (a NOP instruction).
The RESET vector address is at 0000h and the
interrupt vector addresses are at 0008h and 0018h.

4.2.2
Return Address Stack
The return address stack allows any combination of up
to 31 program calls and interrupts to occur. The PC
(Program Counter) is pushed onto the stack when a
PUSH, CALL or RCALL instruction is executed, or an
interrupt is acknowledged. The PC value is pulled off
the stack on a RETURN, RETLW or a RETFIE instruction. PCLATU and PCLATH are not affected by any of
the return instructions.
The stack operates as a 31-word by 21-bit stack memory and a 5-bit stack pointer, with the stack pointer initialized to 00000b after all RESETS. There is no RAM
associated with stack pointer 00000b. This is only a
RESET value. During a CALL type instruction causing
a push onto the stack, the stack pointer is first incremented and the RAM location pointed to by the stack
pointer is written with the contents of the PC. During a
RETURN type instruction causing a pop from the stack,
the contents of the RAM location indicated by the
STKPTR is transferred to the PC and then the stack
pointer is decremented.
The stack space is not part of either program or data
space. The stack pointer is readable and writable, and
the data on the top of the stack is readable and writable
through SFR registers. Status bits indicate if the stack
pointer is at or beyond the 31 levels provided.
4.2.1
TOP-OF-STACK ACCESS
The top of the stack is readable and writable. Three
register locations, TOSU, TOSH and TOSL allow
access to the contents of the stack location indicated by
the STKPTR register. This allows users to implement a
software stack, if necessary. After a CALL, RCALL or
interrupt, the software can read the pushed value by
reading the TOSU, TOSH and TOSL registers. These
values can be placed on a user defined software stack.
At return time, the software can replace the TOSU,
TOSH and TOSL and do a return.
The STKPTR register contains the stack pointer value,
the STKFUL (stack full) status bit, and the STKUNF
(stack underflow) status bits. Register 4-1 shows the
STKPTR register. The value of the stack pointer can be
0 through 31. The stack pointer increments when values are pushed onto the stack and decrements when
values are popped off the stack. At RESET, the stack
pointer value will be 0. The user may read and write the
stack pointer value. This feature can be used by a Real
Time Operating System for return stack maintenance.
After the PC is pushed onto the stack 31 times (without
popping any values off the stack), the STKFUL bit is
set. The STKFUL bit can only be cleared in software or
by a POR.
The action that takes place when the stack becomes
full depends on the state of the STVREN (Stack Overflow Reset Enable) configuration bit. Refer to
Section 21.0 for a description of the device configuration bits. If STVREN is set (default), the 31st push will
push the (PC + 2) value onto the stack, set the STKFUL
bit, and reset the device. The STKFUL bit will remain
set and the stack pointer will be set to 0.
If STVREN is cleared, the STKFUL bit will be set on the
31st push and the stack pointer will increment to 31.
The 32nd push will overwrite the 31st push (and so on),
while STKPTR remains at 31.
When the stack has been popped enough times to
unload the stack, the next pop will return a value of zero
to the PC and sets the STKUNF bit, while the stack
pointer remains at 0. The STKUNF bit will remain set
until cleared in software or a POR occurs.
Note:
The user should disable the global interrupt enable bits
during this time to prevent inadvertent stack
operations.

Returning a value of zero to the PC on an

PUSH AND POP INSTRUCTIONS
EXAMPLE 4-1:
Since the Top-of-Stack (TOS) is readable and writable,
the ability to push values onto the stack and pull values
off the stack without disturbing normal program execution is a desirable option. To push the current PC value
onto the stack, a PUSH instruction can be executed.
This will increment the stack pointer and load the current PC value onto the stack. TOSU, TOSH and TOSL
can then be modified to place a return address on the
stack.
CALL SUB1, FAST
STACK FULL/UNDERFLOW RESETS
These RESETS are enabled by programming the
STVREN configuration bit. When the STVREN bit is
disabled, a full or underflow condition will set the appropriate STKFUL or STKUNF bit, but not cause a device
RESET. When the STVREN bit is enabled, a full or
underflow condition will set the appropriate STKFUL or
STKUNF bit and then cause a device RESET. The
STKFUL or STKUNF bits are only cleared by the user
software or a POR.
4.3
Fast Register Stack
A “fast return” option is available for interrupts and
calls. A fast register stack is provided for the STATUS,
WREG and BSR registers and is only one layer in
depth. The stack is not readable or writable and is
loaded with the current value of the corresponding register when the processor vectors for an interrupt. The
values in the fast register stack are then loaded back
into the working registers if the fast
return
instruction is used to return from the interrupt.
A low or high priority interrupt source will push values
into the stack registers. If both low and high priority
interrupts are enabled, the stack registers cannot be
used reliably for low priority interrupts. If a high priority
interrupt occurs while servicing a low priority interrupt,
the stack register values stored by the low priority
interrupt will be overwritten.

PCL, PCLATH and PCLATU
The program counter (PC) specifies the address of the
instruction to fetch for execution. The PC is 21-bits
wide. The low byte is called the PCL register. This register is readable and writable. The high byte is called
the PCH register. This register contains the PC<15:8>
bits and is not directly readable or writable. Updates to
the PCH register may be performed through the
PCLATH register. The upper byte is called PCU. This
register contains the PC<20:16> bits and is not directly
readable or writable. Updates to the PCU register may
be performed through the PCLATU register.
The PC addresses bytes in the program memory. To
prevent the PC from becoming misaligned with word
instructions, the LSb of PCL is fixed to a value of ’0’.
The PC increments by 2 to address sequential instructions in the program memory.
The CALL, RCALL, GOTO and program branch
instructions write to the program counter directly. For
these instructions, the contents of PCLATH and
PCLATU are not transferred to the program counter.
The contents of PCLATH and PCLATU will be transferred to the program counter by an operation that
writes PCL. Similarly, the upper two bytes of the program counter will be transferred to PCLATH and
PCLATU by an operation that reads PCL. This is useful
for computed offsets to the PC (see Section 4.8.1).
If high priority interrupts are not disabled during low priority interrupts, users must save the key registers in
software during a low priority interrupt.
If no interrupts are used, the fast register stack can be
used to restore the STATUS, WREG and BSR registers
at the end of a subroutine call. To use the fast register
stack for a subroutine call, a fast call instruction
must be executed.
Example 4-1 shows a source code example that uses
the fast register stack.

Cycle
instruction is fetched from the program memory and
latched into the instruction register in Q4. The instruction is decoded and executed during the following Q1
through Q4. The clocks and instruction execution flow
are shown in Figure 4-4.
The clock input (from OSC1) is internally divided by
four to generate four non-overlapping quadrature
clocks, namely Q1, Q2, Q3 and Q4. Internally, the program counter (PC) is incremented every Q1, the

Instructions in Program Memory
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 program counter to change (e.g., GOTO),
two cycles are required to complete the instruction
(Example 4-2).
The program memory is addressed in bytes. Instructions are stored as two bytes or four bytes in program
memory. The Least Significant Byte of an instruction
word is always stored in a program memory location
with an even address (LSB = ’0’). Figure 4-3 shows an
example of how instruction words are stored in the program memory. To maintain alignment with instruction
boundaries, the PC increments in steps of 2 and the
LSB will always read ’0’ (see Section 4.4).
A fetch cycle begins with the program counter (PC)
incrementing in Q1.
The CALL and GOTO instructions have an absolute program memory address embedded into the instruction.
Since instructions are always stored on word boundaries, the data contained in the instruction is a word
address. The word address is written to PC<20:1>,
which accesses the desired byte address in program
memory. Instruction #2 in Example 4-3 shows how the
instruction “GOTO 000006h” is encoded in the program
memory. Program branch instructions that encode a
relative address offset operate in the same manner.
The offset value stored in a branch instruction represents the number of single word instructions by which
the PC will be offset. Section 25.0 provides further
details of the instruction set.
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).

4.7.1
TWO-WORD INSTRUCTIONS
The PIC18FXX8 devices have 4 two-word instructions:
MOVFF, CALL, GOTO and LFSR. The 4 Most Significant bits of the second word are set to ‘1’s, and indicate
a special NOP instruction. The lower 12 bits of the second word contain the data to be used by the instruction.
If the first word of the instruction is executed, the data
in the second word is accessed. If the second word of
the instruction is executed by itself (first word was
skipped), it will execute as a NOP. This action is necessary when the two-word instruction is preceded by a
conditional instruction that changes the PC. A program
example that demonstrates this concept is shown in
Example 4-4. Refer to Section 25.0 for further details of
the instruction set.
4.8
Lookup Tables
A lookup table can be formed with an ADDWF PCL
instruction and a group of RETLW 0xnn instructions.
WREG is loaded with an offset into the table before
executing a call to that table. The first instruction of the
called routine is the ADDWF PCL instruction. The next
instruction executed will be one of the RETLW 0xnn
instructions that returns the value 0xnn to the calling
function.
The offset value (value in WREG) specifies the number
of bytes that the program counter should advance.
In this method, only one data byte may be stored in
each instruction location and room on the return
address stack is required.
Warning: The LSb of PCL is fixed to a value of ‘0’.
Hence, computed GOTO to an odd
address is not possible.
Lookup tables are implemented two ways. These are:
4.8.2
• Computed GOTO
• Table Reads
A better method of storing data in program memory
allows 2 bytes of data to be stored in each instruction
location.
4.8.1
COMPUTED GOTO
A computed GOTO is accomplished by adding an offset
to the program counter (ADDWF PCL).
The ADDWF PCL instruction does not update PCLATH/
PCLATU. A read operation on PCL must be performed
prior to the ADDWF PCL.
TABLE READS/TABLE WRITES
Lookup table data may be stored as 2 bytes per program word by using table reads and writes. The table
pointer (TBLPTR) specifies the byte address and the
table latch (TABLAT) contains the data that is read
from, or written to, program memory. Data is
transferred to/from program memory, one byte at a
time.
A description of the Table Read/Table Write operation
is shown in Section 6.1.

Data Memory Organization
The data memory is implemented as static RAM. Each
register in the data memory has a 12-bit address,
allowing up to 4096 bytes of data memory. Figure 4-6
shows the data memory organization for the
PIC18FXX8 devices.
The data memory map is divided into as many as 16
banks that contain 256 bytes each. The lower 4 bits of
the Bank Select Register (BSR<3:0>) select which
bank will be accessed. The upper 4 bits for the BSR are
not implemented.
The data memory contains Special Function Registers
(SFRs) and General Purpose Registers (GPRs). The
SFRs are used for control and status of the controller
and peripheral functions, while GPR’s are used for data
storage and scratch pad operations in the user’s application. The SFR’s start at the last location of Bank 15
(FFFh) and grow downwards. GPRs start at the first
location of Bank 0 and grow upwards. Any read of an
unimplemented location will read as ’0’s.
The entire data memory may be accessed directly, or
indirectly. Direct addressing may require the use of the
BSR register. Indirect addressing requires the use of
the File Select Register (FSR). Each FSR holds a
12-bit address value that can be used to access any
location in the Data Memory map without banking.
The instruction set and architecture allow operations
across all banks. This may be accomplished by indirect
addressing or by the use of the MOVFF instruction. The
MOVFF instruction is a two-word/two-cycle instruction,
that moves a value from one register to another.
GENERAL PURPOSE REGISTER
FILE
The register file can be accessed either directly, or indirectly. Indirect addressing operates through the File
Select Registers (FSR). The operation of indirect
addressing is shown in Section 4.12.
Enhanced MCU devices may have banked memory in
the GPR area. GPRs are not initialized by a Power-on
Reset and are unchanged on all other RESETS.
Data RAM is available for use as GPR registers by all
instructions. Bank 15 (F00h to FFFh) contains SFRs.
All other banks of data memory contain GPR registers,
starting with bank 0.
4.9.2
SPECIAL FUNCTION REGISTERS
The Special Function Registers (SFRs) are registers
used by the CPU and Peripheral Modules for controlling the desired operation of the device. These registers are implemented as static RAM. A list of these
registers is given in Table 4-1.
The SFRs can be classified into two sets: those associated with the “core” function and those related to the
peripheral functions. Those registers related to the
“core” are described in this section, while those related
to the operation of the peripheral features are
described in the section of that peripheral feature.
The SFRs are typically distributed among the
peripherals whose functions they control.
The unused SFR locations will be unimplemented and
read as '0's. See Table 4-1 for addresses for the SFRs.
To ensure that commonly used registers (SFRs and
select GPRs) can be accessed in a single cycle,
regardless of the current BSR values, an Access Bank
is implemented. A segment of Bank 0 and a segment of
Bank 15 comprise the Access RAM. Section 4.10
provides a detailed description of the Access RAM.

Access Bank
4.11
The Access Bank is an architectural enhancement that
is very useful for C compiler code optimization. The
techniques used by the C compiler are also useful for
programs written in assembly.
The need for a large general purpose memory space
dictates a RAM banking scheme. The data memory is
partitioned into sixteen banks. When using direct
addressing, the BSR should be configured for the
desired bank.
This data memory region can be used for:
•
•
•
•
•
BSR<3:0> holds the upper 4 bits of the 12-bit RAM
address. The BSR<7:4> bits will always read ’0’s, and
writes will have no effect.
Intermediate computational values
Local variables of subroutines
Faster context saving/switching of variables
Common variables
Faster evaluation/control of SFRs (no banking)
A MOVLB instruction has been provided in the
instruction set to assist in selecting banks.
If the currently selected bank is not implemented, any
read will return all '0's and all writes are ignored. The
STATUS register bits will be set/cleared as appropriate
for the instruction performed.
The Access Bank is comprised of the upper 160 bytes
in Bank 15 (SFRs) and the lower 96 bytes in Bank 0.
These two sections will be referred to as Access Bank
High and Access Bank Low, respectively. Figure 4-6
indicates the Access Bank areas.
Each Bank extends up to FFh (256 bytes). All data
memory is implemented as static RAM.
A bit in the instruction word specifies if the operation is
to occur in the bank specified by the BSR register, or in
the Access Bank.
A MOVFF instruction ignores the BSR, since the 12-bit
addresses are embedded into the instruction word.
Section 4.12 provides a description of indirect addressing, which allows linear addressing of the entire RAM
space.
When forced in the Access Bank (a = ’0’), the last
address in Access Bank Low is followed by the first
address in Access Bank High. Access Bank High maps
most of the Special Function Registers so that these
registers can be accessed without any software
overhead.

Indirect Addressing, INDF and
FSR Registers
Indirect addressing is a mode of addressing data memory, where the data memory address in the instruction
is not fixed. A SFR register is used as a pointer to the
data memory location that is to be read or written. Since
this pointer is in RAM, the contents can be modified by
the program. This can be useful for data tables in the
data memory and for software stacks. Figure 4-8
shows the operation of indirect addressing. This shows
the moving of the value to the data memory address
specified by the value of the FSR register.
Indirect addressing is possible by using one of the INDF
registers. Any instruction using the INDF register actually
accesses the register indicated by the File Select Register, FSR. Reading the INDF register itself, indirectly (FSR
= ’0’), will read 00h. Writing to the INDF register indirectly,
results in a no operation. The FSR register contains a
12-bit address, which is shown in Figure 4-8.
The INDFn (0 ≤ n ≤ 2) register is not a physical register.
Addressing INDFn actually addresses the register
whose address is contained in the FSRn register
(FSRn is a pointer). This is indirect addressing.
Example 4-5 shows a simple use of indirect addressing
to clear the RAM in Bank 1 (locations 100h-1FFh) in a
minimum number of instructions.

There are three indirect addressing registers. To
address the entire data memory space (4096 bytes),
these registers are 12-bits wide. To store the 12 bits of
addressing information, two 8-bit registers are
required. These indirect addressing registers are:
1. FSR0: composed of FSR0H:FSR0L
2. FSR1: composed of FSR1H:FSR1L
3. FSR2: composed of FSR2H:FSR2L
In addition, there are registers INDF0, INDF1 and
INDF2, which are not physically implemented. Reading
or writing to these registers activates indirect addressing, with the value in the corresponding FSR register
being the address of the data.
If INDF0, INDF1 or INDF2 are read indirectly via an
FSR, all ’0’s are read (zero bit is set). Similarly, if
INDF0, INDF1 or INDF2 are written to indirectly, the
operation will be equivalent to a NOP instruction and the
STATUS bits are not affected.
4.12.1
INDIRECT ADDRESSING
OPERATION
Each FSR register has an INDF register associated with
it, plus four additional register addresses. Performing an
operation on one of these five registers determines how
the FSR will be modified during indirect addressing.
• When data access is done to one of the five
INDFn locations, the address selected will
configure the FSRn register to:
- Do nothing to FSRn after an indirect access
(no change) - INDFn
- Auto-decrement FSRn after an indirect
access (post-decrement) - POSTDECn
- Auto-increment FSRn after an indirect
access (post-increment) - POSTINCn
- Auto-increment FSRn before an indirect
access (pre-increment) - PREINCn
- Use the value in the WREG register as an offset to FSRn. Do not modify the value of the
WREG or the FSRn register after an indirect
access (no change) - PLUSWn
When using the auto-increment or auto-decrement features, the effect on the FSR is not reflected in the
STATUS register. For example, if the indirect address
causes the FSR to equal '0', the Z bit will not be set.
Incrementing or decrementing an FSR affects all 12
bits. That is, when FSRnL overflows from an increment,
FSRnH will be incremented automatically.
Adding these features allows the FSRn to be used as a
software stack pointer, in addition to its uses for table
operations in data memory.
Each FSR has an address associated with it that performs an indexed indirect access. When a data access to
this INDFn location (PLUSWn) occurs, the FSRn is configured to add the 2’s complement value in the WREG
register and the value in FSR to form the address before
an indirect access. The FSR value is not changed.
If an FSR register contains a value that indicates one of
the INDFn, an indirect read will read 00h (zero bit is
set), while an indirect write will be equivalent to a NOP
(STATUS bits are not affected).
If an indirect addressing operation is done where the
target address is an FSRnH or FSRnL register, the
write operation will dominate over the pre- or postincrement/decrement functions.
If an instruction writes a value to INDF0, the value will
be written to the address indicated by FSR0H:FSR0L.
A read from INDF1 reads the data from the address
indicated by FSR1H:FSR1L. INDFn can be used in
code anywhere an operand can be used.

STATUS Register
The STATUS register, shown in Register 4-2, contains
the arithmetic status of the ALU. 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, C, OV, or N bits,
then the write to these five bits is disabled. These bits
are set or cleared according to the device logic. Therefore, the result of an instruction with the STATUS
register as destination may be different than intended.
REGISTER 4-2:
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).
It is recommended, therefore, that only BCF, BSF,
SWAPF, MOVFF and MOVWF instructions are used to
alter the STATUS register, because these instructions
do not affect the Z, C, DC, OV, or N bits from the
STATUS register. For other instructions which do not
affect the status bits, see Table 25-2.
Note:
The C and DC bits operate as a borrow and
digit borrow bit respectively, in subtraction.

DATA EEPROM MEMORY
5.1
The Data EEPROM is readable and writable during
normal operation over the entire VDD range. The data
memory is not directly mapped in the register file
space. Instead, it is indirectly addressed through the
Special Function Registers (SFR).
There are four SFRs used to read and write the
program and data EEPROM memory. These registers
are:
•
•
•
•
EECON1
EECON2
EEDATA
EEADR
The EEPROM data memory allows byte read and write.
When interfacing to the data memory block, EEDATA
holds the 8-bit data for read/write and EEADR holds the
address of the EEPROM location being accessed. The
PIC18FXX8 devices have 256 bytes of data EEPROM,
with an address range from 00h to FFh.
The EEPROM data memory is rated for high erase/
write cycles. A byte write automatically erases the location and writes the new data (erase-before-write). The
write time is controlled by an on-chip timer. The write
time will vary with voltage and temperature, as well as
from chip-to-chip. Please refer to the specifications for
exact limits.
 2002 Microchip Technology Inc.
EEADR Register
The address register can address up to a maximum of
256 bytes of data EEPROM.
5.2
EECON1 and EECON2 Registers
EECON1 is the control register for EEPROM memory
accesses.
EECON2 is not a physical register. Reading EECON2
will read all '0's. The EECON2 register is used
exclusively in the EEPROM write sequence.
Control bits RD and WR initiate read and write operations, respectively. These bits cannot be cleared, only
set, in software. They are cleared in hardware at the
completion of the read or write operation. The inability
to clear the WR bit in software prevents the accidental
or premature termination of a write operation.
The WREN bit, when set, will allow a write operation.
On power-up, the WREN bit is clear. The WRERR bit is
set when a write operation is interrupted by a MCLR
Reset, or a WDT Time-out Reset, during normal operation. In these situations, following RESET, the user
can check the WRERR bit and rewrite the location. The
data and address registers (EEDATA and EEADR)
remain unchanged.
Note:

Interrupt flag bit EEIF in the PIR2 register
is set when write is complete. It must be

Reading the Data EEPROM
Memory
5.4
To read a data memory location, the user must write the
address to the EEADR register, clear the EEPGD and
CFGS control bits (EECON1<7:6>) and then set control bit RD (EECON1<0>). The data is available in the
very next instruction cycle of the EEDATA register;
therefore, it can be read by the next instruction.
EEDATA will hold this value until another read operation, or until it is written to by the user (during a write
operation).

Writing to the Data EEPROM
Memory
To write an EEPROM data location, the address must
first be written to the EEADR register and the data written to the EEDATA register. Then, the sequence in
Example 5-2 must be followed to initiate the write cycle.
The write will not initiate if the above sequence is not
exactly followed (write 55h to EECON2, write 0AAh to
EECON2, then set WR bit) for each byte. It is strongly
recommended that interrupts be disabled during this
code segment.
Additionally, the WREN bit in EECON1 must be set to
enable writes. This mechanism prevents accidental
writes to data EEPROM due to unexpected code execution (i.e., runaway programs). The WREN bit should
be kept clear at all times, except when updating the
EEPROM. The WREN bit is not cleared by hardware.
After a write sequence has been initiated, clearing the
WREN bit will not affect the current write cycle. The WR
bit will be inhibited from being set unless the WREN bit
is set. The WREN bit must be set on a previous instruction. Both WR and WREN cannot be set with the same
instruction.
At the completion of the write cycle, the WR bit is
cleared in hardware and the EEPROM Write Complete
Interrupt Flag bit (EEIF) is set. The user may either
enable this interrupt, or roll this bit. EEIF must be
cleared by software.

Write Verify
5.7
Depending on the application, good programming
practice may dictate that the value written to the memory should be verified against the original value. This
should be used in applications where excessive writes
can stress bits near the specification limit.
Generally, a write failure will be a bit which was written
as a ’1’, but reads back as a ’0’ (due to leakage off the
cell).
Data EEPROM memory has its own code protect
mechanism. External read and write operations are
disabled if either of these mechanisms are enabled.
The microcontroller itself can both read and write to the
internal data EEPROM, regardless of the state of the
code protect configuration bit. Refer to Section 24.0,
Special Features of the CPU for additional information.
5.8
5.6
Protection Against Spurious Write
There are conditions when the device may not want to
write to the data EEPROM memory. To protect against
spurious EEPROM writes, various mechanisms have
been built-in. On power-up, the WREN bit is cleared.
Also, the Power-up Timer (72 ms duration) prevents
EEPROM write.
The write initiate sequence and the WREN bit together
reduce the probability of an accidental write during
brown-out, power glitch, or software malfunction.
If Data EEPROM is only used to store constants and/or data that changes rarely, an
array refresh is likely not required. See
specification D124 or D124A.

Using the Data EEPROM
The data EEPROM is a high-endurance, byte addressable array that has been optimized for the storage of
frequently changing information (e.g., program variables or other data that are updated often). Frequently
changing values will typically be updated more often
than specification D124 or D124A. If this is not the
case, an array refresh must be performed. For this reason, variables that change infrequently (such as constants, IDs, calibration, etc.) should be stored in FLASH
program memory. A simple data EEPROM refresh
routine is shown in Example 5-3.

FLASH PROGRAM MEMORY
6.1
Table Reads and Table Writes
In order to read and write program memory, there are
two operations that allow the processor to move bytes
between the program memory space and the data
RAM:
The FLASH Program Memory is readable, writable,
and erasable during normal operation over the entire
VDD range.
A read from program memory is executed on one byte
at a time. A write to program memory is executed on
blocks of 8 bytes at a time. Program memory is erased
in blocks of 64 bytes at a time. A bulk erase operation
may not be issued from user code.
• Table Read (TBLRD)
• Table Write (TBLWT)
The program memory space is 16-bits wide, while the
data RAM space is 8-bits wide. Table Reads and Table
Writes move data between these two memory spaces
through an 8-bit register (TABLAT).
Writing or erasing program memory will cease instruction fetches until the operation is complete. The program memory cannot be accessed during the write or
erase, therefore, code cannot execute. An internal programming timer terminates program memory writes
and erases.
Table Read operations retrieve data from program
memory and places it into the data RAM space.
Figure 6-1 shows the operation of a Table Read with
program memory and data RAM.
A value written to program memory does not need to be
a valid instruction. Executing a program memory
location that forms an invalid instruction results in a
NOP.
Table Write operations store data from the data memory space into holding registers in program memory.
The procedure to write the contents of the holding registers into program memory is detailed in Section 6.5,
Writing to FLASH Program Memory. Figure 6-2 shows
the operation of a Table Write with program memory
and data RAM.
Table operations work with byte entities. A table block
containing data, rather than program instructions, is not
required to be word aligned. Therefore, a table block
can start and end at any byte address. If a Table Write
is being used to write executable code into program
memory, program instructions will need to be word
aligned.

6.2
Control Registers
Several control registers are used in conjunction with
the TBLRD and TBLWT instructions. These include the:
•
•
•
•
EECON1 register
EECON2 register
TABLAT register
TBLPTR registers
6.2.1
EECON1 AND EECON2 REGISTERS
EECON1 is the control register for memory accesses.
EECON2 is not a physical register. Reading EECON2
will read all '0's. The EECON2 register is used
exclusively in the memory write and erase sequences.
Control bit EEPGD determines if the access will be a
program or data EEPROM memory access. When
clear, any subsequent operations will operate on the
data EEPROM memory. When set, any subsequent
operations will operate on the program memory.
Control bit CFGS determines if the access will be to the
configuration/calibration registers or to program
memory/data EEPROM memory. When set, subsequent operations will operate on configuration registers, regardless of EEPGD (see Section 24.0, Special
Features of the CPU). When clear, memory selection
access is determined by EEPGD.
DS41159B-page 66
The FREE bit, when set, will allow a program memory
erase operation. When the FREE bit is set, the erase
operation is initiated on the next WR command. When
FREE is clear, only writes are enabled.
The WREN bit, when set, will allow a write operation.
On power-up, the WREN bit is clear. The WRERR bit is
set when a write operation is interrupted by a MCLR
Reset or a WDT Time-out Reset during normal operation. In these situations, the user can check the
WRERR bit and rewrite the location. It is necessary to
reload the data and address registers (EEDATA and
EEADR), due to RESET values of zero.
Control bits RD and WR initiate read and write operations, respectively. These bits cannot be cleared, only
set, in software. They are cleared in hardware at the
completion of the read or write operation. The inability
to clear the WR bit in software prevents the accidental
or premature termination of a write operation. The RD
bit cannot be set when accessing program memory
(EEPGD = 1).
Note:
Preliminary
If interrupts are enabled before the WR
command, interrupt flag bit EEIF in the
PIR2 register, is set when the write is complete. It must be cleared in software. This
interrupt is not required to determine the
end of a FLASH program memory write
cycle.

TABLAT - TABLE LATCH REGISTER
6.2.4
The Table Latch (TABLAT) is an 8-bit register mapped
into the SFR space. The Table Latch is used to hold
8-bit data during data transfers between program
memory and data RAM.
6.2.3
TBLPTR is used in reads, writes, and erases of the
FLASH program memory.
When a TBLRD is executed, all 22 bits of the Table
Pointer determine which byte is read from program
memory into TABLAT.
TBLPTR - TABLE POINTER
REGISTER
When a TBLWT is executed, the three LSbs of the Table
Pointer (TBLPTR<2:0>) determine which of the eight
program memory holding registers is written to. When
the timed write to program memory (long write) begins,
the 19 MSbs of the Table Pointer, TBLPTR
(TBLPTR<21:3>), will determine which program memory block of 8 bytes is written to. For more detail, see
Section 6.5,Writing to FLASH Program Memory.
The Table Pointer (TBLPTR) addresses a byte within
the program memory. The TBLPTR is comprised of
three SFR registers: Table Pointer Upper Byte, Table
Pointer High Byte and Table Pointer Low Byte
(TBLPTRU:TBLPTRH:TBLPTRL). These three registers join to form a 22-bit wide pointer. The low order 21
bits allow the device to address up to 2 Mbytes of program memory space. The 22nd bit allows access to the
Device ID, the User ID and the Configuration bits.
When an erase of program memory is executed, the 16
MSbs of the Table Pointer (TBLPTR<21:6>) point to the
64-byte block that will be erased. The Least Significant
bits (TBLPTR<5:0>) are ignored.
The table pointer, TBLPTR, is used by the TBLRD and
TBLWT instructions. These instructions can update the
TBLPTR in one of four ways, based on the table operation. These operations are shown in Table 6-1. These
operations on the TBLPTR only affect the low order 21
bits.

Reading the FLASH Program
Memory
The TBLRD instruction is used to retrieve data from program memory and place into data RAM. Table Reads
from program memory are performed one byte at a
time.
FIGURE 6-4:
TBLPTR points to a byte address in program space.
Executing TBLRD places the byte pointed to into
TABLAT. In addition, TBLPTR can be modified
automatically for the next Table Read operation.
The internal program memory is typically organized by
words. The Least Significant bit of the address selects
between the high and low bytes of the word. Figure 6-4
shows the interface between the internal program
memory and the TABLAT.

Erasing FLASH Program memory
The minimum erase block is 32 words or 64 bytes. Only
through the use of an external programmer, or through
ICSP control, can larger blocks of program memory be
bulk erased. Word erase in the FLASH array is not
supported.
The sequence of events for erasing a block of internal
program memory location is:
1.
When initiating an erase sequence from the microcontroller itself, a block of 64 bytes of program memory
is erased. The Most Significant 16 bits of the
TBLPTR<21:6> point to the block being erased.
TBLPTR<5:0> are ignored.
Load table pointer with address of row being
erased.
Set the EECON1 register for the erase operation:
• set the EEPGD bit to point to program memory;
• clear the CFGS bit to access program memory;
• set the WREN bit to enable writes;
• set the FREE bit to enable the erase.
Disable interrupts.
Write 55h to EECON2.
Write 0AAh to EECON2.
Set the WR bit. This will begin the row erase
cycle.
The CPU will stall for duration of the erase
(about 2 ms using internal timer).
Execute a NOP.
Re-enable interrupts.
2.
The EECON1 register commands the erase operation.
The EEPGD bit must be set to point to the FLASH program memory. The WREN bit must be set to enable
write operations. The FREE bit is set to select an erase
operation.
3.
4.
5.
6.
For protection, the write initiate sequence for EECON2
must be used.
7.
A long write is necessary for erasing the internal
FLASH. Instruction execution is halted while in a long
write cycle. The long write will be terminated by the
internal programming timer.

Writing to FLASH Program
Memory
5.
The minimum programming block is 4 words or 8 bytes.
Word or byte programming is not supported.
Table Writes are used internally to load the holding registers needed to program the FLASH memory. There
are 8 holding registers used by the Table Writes for
programming.
6.
7.
Since the Table Latch (TABLAT) is only a single byte,
the TBLWT instruction has to be executed 8 times for
each programming operation. All of the Table Write
operations will essentially be short writes, because only
the holding registers are written. At the end of updating
8 registers, the EECON1 register must be written to, to
start the programming operation with a long write.
8.
9.
10.

12.
The long write is necessary for programming the internal FLASH. Instruction execution is halted while in a

The EEPROM on-chip timer controls the write time.
The write/erase voltages are generated by an on-chip
charge pump rated to operate over the voltage range of
the device for byte or word operations.
16.
6.5.1
Load Table Pointer with address of first byte
being written.
Write the first 8 bytes into the holding registers
using the TBLWT instruction, auto-increment
may be used.
Set the EECON1 register for the write operation:
• set the EEPGD bit to point to program memory;
• clear the CFGS bit to access program memory;
• set the WREN to enable byte writes.
Disable interrupts.
Write 55h to EECON2.
Write AAh to EECON2.
Set the WR bit. This will begin the write cycle.
The CPU will stall for duration of the write (about
2 ms using internal timer).
Execute a NOP.
Re-enable interrupts.
Repeat steps 6-14 seven times, to write 64
bytes.
Verify the memory (Table Read).
This procedure will require about 18 ms to update one
row of 64 bytes of memory. An example of the required
code is given in Example 6-3.

WRITE VERIFY
PROTECTION AGAINST SPURIOUS
WRITES
Depending on the application, good programming
practice may dictate that the value written to the memory should be verified against the original value. This
should be used in applications where excessive writes
can stress bits near the specification limit.
To reduce the probability against spurious writes to
FLASH program memory, the write initiate sequence
must also be followed. See Section 24.0, Special
Features of the CPU for more detail.

8 X 8 HARDWARE MULTIPLIER
7.2
7.1
Introduction
Example 7-1 shows the sequence to do an 8 x 8
unsigned multiply. Only one instruction is required
when one argument of the multiply is already loaded in
the WREG register.
An 8 x 8 hardware multiplier is included in the ALU of
the PIC18FXX8 devices. By making the multiply a
hardware operation, it completes in a single instruction
cycle. This is an unsigned multiply that gives a 16-bit
result. The result is stored into the 16-bit product register pair (PRODH:PRODL). The multiplier does not
affect any flags in the ALUSTA register.
Operation
Example 7-2 shows the sequence to do an 8 x 8 signed
multiply. To account for the sign bits of the arguments,
each argument’s Most Significant bit (MSb) is tested
and the appropriate subtractions are done.
EXAMPLE 7-1:
Making the 8 x 8 multiplier execute in a single cycle
gives the following advantages:
• Higher computational throughput
• Reduces code size requirements for multiply

INTERRUPTS
The PIC18FXX8 devices have multiple interrupt
sources and an interrupt priority feature that allows
each interrupt source to be assigned a high priority
level or a low priority level. The high priority interrupt
vector is at 000008h, and the low priority interrupt vector is at 000018h. High priority interrupt events will
override any low priority interrupts that may be in
progress.
There are 13 registers that are used to control interrupt
operation. These registers are:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
RCON
INTCON
INTCON2
INTCON3
PIR1, PIR2, PIR3
PIE1, PIE2, PIE3
IPR1, IPR2, IPR3
It is recommended that the Microchip header files supplied with MPLAB® IDE, be used for the symbolic bit
names in these registers. This allows the assembler/
compiler to automatically take care of the placement of
these bits within the specified register.
Each interrupt source has three bits to control its
operation. The functions of these bits are:
• Flag bit to indicate that an interrupt event
occurred
• Enable bit that allows program execution to
branch to the interrupt vector address when the
flag bit is set
• Priority bit to select high priority or low priority
When the IPEN bit is cleared (default state), the interrupt priority feature is disabled and interrupts are compatible with PICmicro® mid-range devices. In
Compatibility mode, the interrupt priority bits for each
source have no effect. The PEIE bit (INTCON register)
enables/disables all peripheral interrupt sources. The
GIE bit (INTCON register) enables/disables all interrupt
sources. All interrupts branch to address 000008h in
Compatibility mode.
When an interrupt is responded to, the Global Interrupt
Enable bit is cleared to disable further interrupts. If the
IPEN bit is cleared, this is the GIE bit. If interrupt priority levels are used, this will be either the GIEH or GIEL
bit. High priority interrupt sources can interrupt a low
priority interrupt.
The return address is pushed onto the stack and the
PC is loaded with the interrupt vector address
(000008h or 000018h). Once in the Interrupt Service
Routine, the source(s) of the interrupt can be determined by polling the interrupt flag bits. The interrupt
flag bits must be cleared in software before re-enabling
interrupts, to avoid recursive interrupts.
The "return from interrupt" instruction, RETFIE, exits
the interrupt routine and sets the GIE bit (GIEH or GIEL
if priority levels are used), which re-enables interrupts.
For external interrupt events, such as the INT pins or
the PORTB input change interrupt, the interrupt latency
will be three to four instruction cycles. The exact
latency is the same for one or two-cycle instructions.
Individual interrupt flag bits are set, regardless of the
status of their corresponding enable bit, or the GIE bit.
Note:
The interrupt priority feature is enabled by setting the
IPEN bit (RCON register). When interrupt priority is
enabled, there are two bits that enable interrupts globally. Setting the GIEH bit (INTCON<7>) enables all
interrupts. Setting the GIEL bit (INTCON register)
enables all interrupts that have the priority bit cleared.
When the interrupt flag, enable bit and appropriate global interrupt enable bit are set, the interrupt will vector
immediately to address 000008h or 000018h, depending on the priority level. Individual interrupts can be
disabled through their corresponding enable bits.
 2002 Microchip Technology Inc
Preliminary
Do not use the MOVFF instruction to modify
any of the interrupt control registers while
any interrupt is enabled. Doing so may
cause erratic microcontroller behavior.

INTCON Registers
Note:
The INTCON Registers are readable and writable registers, which contain various enable, priority, and flag
bits. Because of the number of interrupts to be controlled, PIC18FXX8 devices have three INTCON registers. They are detailed in Register 8-1 through
Register 8-3.
REGISTER 8-1:
Interrupt flag bits are set when an interrupt
condition occurs, regardless of the state of
its corresponding enable bit, or the global
enable bit. User software should ensure
the appropriate interrupt flag bits are clear
prior to enabling an interrupt. This feature

PIE Registers
The Peripheral Interrupt Enable (PIE) registers contain
the individual enable bits for the peripheral interrupts
(Register 8-7 through Register 8-9). Due to the number
of peripheral interrupt sources, there are three Peripheral Interrupt Enable registers (PIE1, PIE2, PIE3).
When IPEN is clear, the PEIE bit must be set to enable
any of these peripheral interrupts.

INT Interrupts
8.8
External interrupts on the RB0/INT0, RB1/INT1 and
RB2/INT2 pins are edge triggered: either rising, if the
corresponding INTEDGx bit is set in the INTCON2 register, or falling, if the INTEDGx bit is clear. When a valid
edge appears on the RBx/INTx pin, the corresponding
flag bit INTxIF is set. This interrupt can be disabled by
clearing the corresponding enable bit INTxIE. Flag bit
INTxIF must be cleared in software in the Interrupt Service Routine before re-enabling the interrupt. All external interrupts (INT0, INT1 and INT2) can wake-up the
processor from SLEEP, if bit INTxIE was set prior to
going into SLEEP. If the global interrupt enable bit GIE
is set, the processor will branch to the interrupt vector
following wake-up.
Interrupt priority for INT1 and INT2 is determined by the
value contained in the interrupt priority bits INT1IP
(INTCON3<6>) and INT2IP (INTCON3<7>). There is
no priority bit associated with INT0; it is always a high
priority interrupt source.
8.7
PORTB Interrupt-on-Change
An input change on PORTB<7:4> sets flag bit RBIF
(INTCON register). The interrupt can be enabled/
disabled by setting/clearing enable bit RBIE (INTCON
register). Interrupt priority for PORTB interrupt-onchange is determined by the value contained in the
interrupt priority bit RBIP (INTCON2 register).
8.9
Context Saving During Interrupts
During an interrupt, the return PC value is saved on the
stack. Additionally, the WREG, STATUS and BSR registers are saved on the fast return stack. If a fast return
from interrupt is not used (see Section 4.3), the user
may need to save the WREG, STATUS and BSR registers in software. Depending on the user’s application,
other registers may also need to be saved. Example 8-1
saves and restores the WREG, STATUS and BSR
registers during an Interrupt Service Routine.
TMR0 Interrupt
In 8-bit mode (which is the default), an overflow (FFh →
00h) in the TMR0 register will set flag bit TMR0IF. In 16bit mode, an overflow (FFFFh → 0000h) in the
TMR0H:TMR0L registers will set flag bit TMR0IF. The
interrupt can be enabled/disabled by setting/clearing
enable bit TMR0IE (INTCON register). Interrupt priority
for Timer0 is determined by the value contained in the
interrupt priority bit TMR0IP (INTCON2 register). See
Section 11.0 for further details on the Timer0 module.

I/O PORTS
FIGURE 9-1:
Depending on the device selected, there are up to five
general purpose I/O ports available on PIC18FXX8
devices. Some pins of the I/O ports are multiplexed
with an alternate function from the peripheral features
on the device. In general, when a peripheral is enabled,
that pin may not be used as a general purpose I/O pin.
RD LATA
Each port has three registers for its operation:
WR LATA or
WR PORTA
Data Bus
• TRIS register (Data Direction register)
• PORT register (reads the levels on the pins of the
device)
• LAT register (output latch).
The data latch (LAT register) is useful for
read-modify-write operations on the value that the I/O
pins are driving.

PORTA is a 7-bit wide, bi-directional port. The corresponding Data Direction register is TRISA. Setting a

pin an input (i.e., put the corresponding output driver in
a High-Impedance mode). Clearing a TRISA bit (= ‘0’)
will make the corresponding PORTA pin an output (i.e.,
put the contents of the output latch on the selected pin).
On a Power-on Reset, these pins are configured as
inputs and read as '0'.

Note 1: I/O pins have diode protection to VDD and VSS.
Reading the PORTA register reads the status of the
pins, whereas writing to it will write to the port latch.
Read-modify-write operations on the LATA register,
reads and writes the latched output value for PORTA.
The RA4 pin is multiplexed with the Timer0 module
clock input to become the RA4/T0CKI pin. The
RA4/T0CKI pin is a Schmitt Trigger input and an open
drain output. All other RA port pins have TTL input
levels and full CMOS output drivers.
The other PORTA pins are multiplexed with analog
inputs and the analog VREF+ and VREF- inputs. The
operation of each pin is selected by clearing/setting the
control bits in the ADCON1 register (A/D Control
Register 1). On a Power-on Reset, these pins are
configured as analog inputs and read as '0'.
The TRISA register controls the direction of the RA
pins, even when they are being used as analog inputs.
The user must ensure the bits in the TRISA register are
maintained set, when using them as analog inputs.

PORTB, TRISB and LATB Registers
PORTB is an 8-bit wide, bi-directional port. The corresponding Data Direction register is TRISB. Setting a
TRISB bit (= ‘1’) will make the corresponding PORTB
pin an input (i.e., put the corresponding output driver in
a High-Impedance mode). Clearing a TRISB bit (= ‘0’)
will make the corresponding PORTB pin an output ( i.e.,
put the contents of the output latch on the selected pin).
Read-modify-write operations on the LATB register,
read and write the latched output value for PORTB.

Four of the PORTB pins (RB7:RB4) have an
interrupt-on-change feature. Only pins configured as
inputs can cause this interrupt to occur (i.e., any
RB7:RB4 pin configured as an output is excluded from
the interrupt-on-change comparison). The input pins (of
RB7:RB4) are compared with the old value latched on
the last read of PORTB. The “mismatch” outputs of
RB7:RB4 are ORed together to generate the RB Port
Change Interrupt with flag bit RBIF (INTCON register).
This interrupt can wake the device from SLEEP. The
user, in the Interrupt Service Routine, can clear the
interrupt in the following manner:
a)
Any read or write of PORTB (except with the
MOVFF instruction). This will end the mismatch
condition.
Clear flag bit RBIF.
b)
A mismatch condition will continue to set flag bit RBIF.
Reading PORTB will end the mismatch condition and
allow flag bit RBIF to be cleared.
The interrupt-on-change feature is recommended for
wake-up on key depression operation and operations
where PORTB is only used for the interrupt-on-change
feature. Polling of PORTB is not recommended while
using the interrupt-on-change feature.
VDD
RBPU(2)
Each of the PORTB pins has a weak internal pull-up. A
single control bit can turn on all the pull-ups. This is performed by clearing bit RBPU (INTCON2 register). The
weak pull-up is automatically turned off when the port
pin is configured as an output. The pull-ups are
disabled on a Power-on Reset.

PORTC, TRISC and LATC Registers
while other peripherals override the TRIS bit to make a
pin an input. The user should refer to the corresponding
peripheral section for the correct TRIS bit settings.
PORTC is an 8-bit wide, bi-directional port. The corresponding Data Direction register is TRISC. Setting a
TRISC bit (= ‘1’) will make the corresponding PORTC
pin an input (i.e., put the corresponding output driver in
a High-Impedance mode). Clearing a TRISC bit (= ‘0’)
will make the corresponding PORTC pin an output (i.e.,
put the contents of the output latch on the selected pin).
The pin override value is not loaded into the TRIS register. This allows read-modify-write of the TRIS register,
without concern due to peripheral overrides.
EXAMPLE 9-3:
Read-modify-write operations on the LATC register,
read and write the latched output value for PORTC.
PORTC is multiplexed with several peripheral functions
(Table 9-5). PORTC pins have Schmitt Trigger input
buffers.
When enabling peripheral functions, care should be
taken in defining TRIS bits for each PORTC pin. Some
peripherals override the TRIS bit to make a pin an output,

FIGURE 9-9:
PORTD can be configured as an 8-bit wide microprocessor port (Parallel Slave Port, or PSP) by setting
the control bit PSPMODE (TRISE<4>). In this mode,
the input buffers are TTL. See Section 10.0 for

on
the
PORTE pins are also multiplexed with inputs for the
A/D converter and outputs for the analog comparators.
When selected as an analog input, these pins will read
as '0's. Direction bits TRISE<2:0> control the direction
of the RE pins, even when they are being used as analog inputs. The user must make sure to keep the pins
configured as inputs when using them as analog
inputs.
PORTE is a 3-bit wide, bi-directional port. PORTE has
three pins (RE0/AN5/RD, RE1/AN6/WR/C1OUT and
RE2/AN7/CS/C2OUT), which are individually configurable as inputs or outputs. These pins have Schmitt
Trigger input buffers.
Read-modify-write operations on the LATE register,
reads and writes the latched output value for PORTE.
EXAMPLE 9-5:
The corresponding Data Direction register for the port
is TRISE. Setting a TRISE bit (= ‘1’) will make the corresponding PORTE pin an input (i.e., put the corresponding output driver in a High-Impedance mode).
Clearing a TRISE bit (= ‘0’) will make the corresponding
PORTE pin an output (i.e., put the contents of the
output latch on the selected pin).
The TRISE register also controls the operation of the
Parallel Slave Port, through the control bits in the upper
half of the register. These are shown in Register 9-1.

PORTD AND PORTE
BLOCK DIAGRAM
(PARALLEL SLAVE
PORT)
The Parallel Slave Port is only available on
PIC18F4X8 devices.
In addition to its function as a general I/O port, PORTD
can also operate as an 8-bit wide Parallel Slave Port
(PSP), or microprocessor port. PSP operation is controlled by the 4 upper bits of the TRISE register
(Register 9-1). Setting control bit PSPMODE
(TRISE<4>) enables PSP operation. In Slave mode,
the port is asynchronously readable and writable by the
external world.
One bit of PORTD

or

The PSP can directly interface to an 8-bit microprocessor data bus. The external microprocessor can read or
write the PORTD latch as an 8-bit latch. Setting the
control bit PSPMODE enables the PORTE I/O pins to
become control inputs for the microprocessor port.
When set, port pin RE0 is the RD input, RE1 is the WR
input, and RE2 is the CS (chip select) input. For this
functionality, the corresponding data direction bits of
the TRISE register (TRISE<2:0>) must be configured
as inputs (set).

11.2.1
Timer0 Operation
Timer0 can operate as a timer or as a counter.
The prescaler assignment is fully under software control (i.e., it can be changed “on-the-fly” during program
execution).
Timer mode is selected by clearing the T0CS bit. In
Timer mode, the Timer0 module will increment every
instruction cycle (without prescaler). If the TMR0L register is written, the increment is inhibited for the following two instruction cycles. The user can work around
this by writing an adjusted value to the TMR0L register.
11.3
When an external clock input is used for Timer0, it must
meet certain requirements. The requirements ensure
the external clock can be synchronized with the internal
phase clock (TOSC). Also, there is a delay in the actual
incrementing of Timer0 after synchronization.
11.4
Prescaler
TMR0H is not the high byte of the timer/counter in
16-bit mode, but is actually a buffered version of the
high byte of Timer0 (refer to Figure 11-1). The high byte
of the Timer0 counter/timer is not directly readable nor
writable. TMR0H is updated with the contents of the
high byte of Timer0 during a read of TMR0L. This provides the ability to read all 16 bits of Timer0 without
having to verify that the read of the high and low byte
were valid, due to a rollover between successive reads
of the high and low byte.
The PSA and T0PS2:T0PS0 bits determine the
prescaler assignment and prescale ratio.
Clearing bit PSA will assign the prescaler to the Timer0
module. When the prescaler is assigned to the Timer0
module, prescale values of 1:2, 1:4, ..., 1:256 are
selectable.
When assigned to the Timer0 module, all instructions
writing to the TMR0 register (e.g. CLRF TMR0, MOVWF
TMR0, BSF TMR0, x.... etc.) will clear the prescaler
count.
Name
A write to the high byte of Timer0 must also take place
through the TMR0H buffer register. Timer0 high byte is
updated with the contents of buffered value of TMR0H,
when a write occurs to TMR0L. This allows all 16 bits
of Timer0 to be updated at once.
Writing to TMR0 when the prescaler is
assigned to Timer0, will clear the prescaler
count but will not change the prescaler
assignment.
TABLE 11-1:
16-bit Mode Timer Reads and
Writes
Timer0 can be set in 16-bit mode by clearing T0CON
T08BIT. Registers TMR0H and TMR0L are used to
access 16-bit timer value.
An 8-bit counter is available as a prescaler for the
Timer0 module. The prescaler is not readable or
writable.
Note:
Timer0 Interrupt
The TMR0 interrupt is generated when the TMR0 register overflows from FFh to 00h in 8-bit mode, or FFFFh
to 0000h in 16-bit mode. This overflow sets the TMR0IF
bit. The interrupt can be masked by clearing the
TMR0IE bit. The TMR0IF bit must be cleared in software by the Timer0 module Interrupt Service Routine
before re-enabling this interrupt. The TMR0 interrupt
cannot awaken the processor from SLEEP, since the
timer is shut-off during SLEEP.
Counter mode is selected by setting the T0CS bit. In
Counter mode, Timer0 will increment either on every
rising, or falling edge of pin RA4/T0CKI. The incrementing edge is determined by the Timer0 Source Edge
Select bit (T0SE). Clearing the T0SE bit selects the rising edge. Restrictions on the external clock input are
discussed below.

12.1
Timer1 Operation
When TMR1CS is clear, Timer1 increments every
instruction cycle. When TMR1CS is set, Timer1 increments on every rising edge of the external clock input
or the Timer1 oscillator, if enabled.
Timer1 can operate in one of these modes:
• As a timer
• As a synchronous counter
• As an asynchronous counter
When the Timer1 oscillator is enabled (T1OSCEN is
set), the RC1/T1OSI and RC0/T1OSO/T1CKI pins
become inputs. That is, the TRISC<1:0> value is
ignored.
The Operating mode is determined by the clock select
bit, TMR1CS (T1CON register).
Timer1 also has an internal “RESET input”. This
RESET can be generated by the CCP module
(Section 15.1).

Timer1 Oscillator
12.4
A crystal oscillator circuit is built-in between pins T1OSI
(input) and T1OSO (amplifier output). It is enabled by
setting control bit T1OSCEN (T1CON register). The
oscillator is a low power oscillator rated up to 200 kHz.
It will continue to run during SLEEP. It is primarily
intended for a 32 kHz crystal. Table 12-1 shows the
capacitor selection for the Timer1 oscillator.
If the CCP module is configured in Compare mode to
generate a “special event trigger" (CCP1M3:CCP1M0 =
‘1011’), this signal will reset Timer1 and start an A/D
conversion (if the A/D module is enabled).
Note:
The user must provide a software time delay to ensure
proper start-up of the Timer1 oscillator.

Note 1: Microchip suggests 33 pF as a starting
point in validating the oscillator circuit.
3: Since each resonator/crystal has its own
characteristics, the user should consult
the resonator/crystal manufacturer for
appropriate values of external components.
4: Capacitor values are for design guidance
only.
A write to the high byte of Timer1 must also take place
through the TMR1H buffer register. Timer1 high byte is
updated with the contents of TMR1H when a write
occurs to TMR1L. This allows a user to write all 16 bits
to both the high and low bytes of Timer1 at once.
Timer1 Interrupt
The TMR1 register pair (TMR1H:TMR1L) increments
from 0000h to FFFFh and rolls over to 0000h. The TMR1
Interrupt, if enabled, is generated on overflow, which is
latched in interrupt flag bit TMR1IF (PIR registers). This
interrupt can be enabled/disabled by setting/clearing
TMR1 interrupt enable bit TMR1IE (PIE registers).
TABLE 12-2:
Name
Bit 7
Timer1 16-bit Read/Write Mode
Timer1 can be configured for 16-bit reads and writes
(see Figure 12-2). When the RD16 control bit (T1CON
register) is set, the address for TMR1H is mapped to a
buffer register for the high byte of Timer1. A read from
TMR1L will load the contents of the high byte of Timer1
into the Timer1 high byte buffer. This provides the user
with the ability to accurately read all 16 bits of Timer1,
without having to determine whether a read of the high
byte, followed by a read of the low byte is valid, due to
a rollover between reads.
2: Higher capacitance increases the stability
of the oscillator, but also increases the
start-up time.
12.3
The special event triggers from the CCP1
module will not set interrupt flag bit
TMR1IF (PIR registers).
Timer1 must be configured for either Timer or Synchronized Counter mode to take advantage of this feature.
If Timer1 is running in Asynchronous Counter mode,
this RESET operation may not work.

Register 13-1 shows the Timer2 Control register.
Timer2 can be shut-off by clearing control bit TMR2ON
(T2CON register) to minimize power consumption.
Figure 13-1 is a simplified block diagram of the Timer2
module. The prescaler and postscaler selection of
Timer2 are controlled by this register.
Timer2 Operation
Timer2 can be used as the PWM time-base for the
PWM mode of the CCP module. The TMR2 register is
readable and writable, and is cleared on any device
RESET. The input clock (FOSC/4) has a prescale option
of 1:1, 1:4, or 1:16, selected by control bits
T2CKPS1:T2CKPS0 (T2CON Register). The match
output of TMR2 goes through a 4-bit postscaler (which
gives a 1:1 to 1:16 scaling inclusive) to generate a
TMR2 interrupt (latched in flag bit TMR2IF, PIR
registers).
The prescaler and postscaler counters are cleared
when any of the following occurs:
• A write to the TMR2 register
• A write to the T2CON register
• Any device RESET (Power-on Reset, MCLR
Reset, Watchdog Timer Reset, or Brown-out
Reset)
TMR2 is not cleared when T2CON is written.

Timer3 Operation
When TMR3CS = 0, Timer3 increments every instruction cycle. When TMR3CS = 1, Timer3 increments on
every rising edge of the Timer1 external clock input, or
the Timer1 oscillator, if enabled.
Timer3 can operate in one of these modes:
• As a timer
• As a synchronous counter
• As an asynchronous counter
When the Timer1 oscillator is enabled (T1OSCEN is set),

Timer1 Oscillator
14.4
The Timer1 oscillator may be used as the clock source
for Timer3. The Timer1 oscillator is enabled by setting
the T1OSCEN bit (T1CON Register). The oscillator is a
low power oscillator rated up to 200 kHz. Refer to
Section 12.0, Timer1 Module for Timer1 oscillator
details.
14.3
If the CCP module is configured in Compare mode to
generate a “special event trigger" (CCP1M3:CCP1M0
= 1011), this signal will reset Timer3.
Note:
Timer3 Interrupt
TABLE 14-1:
INTCON
The special event triggers from the CCP
module will not set interrupt flag bit
TMR3IF (PIR registers).
Timer3 must be configured for either Timer or Synchronized Counter mode to take advantage of this feature. If
Timer3 is running in Asynchronous Counter mode, this
RESET operation may not work. In the event that a write
to Timer3 coincides with a special event trigger from
CCP1, the write will take precedence. In this mode of
operation, the CCPR1H:CCPR1L registers pair
becomes the period register for Timer3. Refer to
Section 15.0, “Capture/Compare/PWM (CCP) Modules
for CCP details.
The TMR3 Register pair (TMR3H:TMR3L) increments
from 0000h to FFFFh and rolls over to 0000h. The TMR3
Interrupt, if enabled, is generated on overflow, which is
latched in interrupt flag bit TMR3IF (PIR registers). This
interrupt can be enabled/disabled by setting/clearing
TMR3 interrupt enable bit TMR3IE (PIE registers).

CCP1 Module
Capture/Compare/PWM Register1 (CCPR1) is comprised of two 8-bit registers: CCPR1L (low byte) and
CCPR1H (high byte). The CCP1CON register controls
the operation of CCP1. All are readable and writable.
An event is selected by control bits CCP1M3:CCP1M0
(CCP1CON<3:0>). When a capture is made, the interrupt request flag bit CCP1IF (PIR registers) is set. It
must be cleared in software. If another capture occurs
before the value in register CCPR1 is read, the old
captured value will be lost.
Table 15-1 shows the timer resources of the CCP
module modes.

15.2.5
When the Capture mode is changed, a false capture
interrupt may be generated. The user should keep bit
CCP1IE (PIE registers) clear to avoid false interrupts
and should clear the flag bit CCP1IF, following any
such change in Operating mode.
15.2.4
CCP1 PRESCALER
There are four prescaler settings, specified by bits
CCP1M3:CCP1M0. Whenever the CCP1 module is
turned off, or the CCP1 module is not in Capture mode,
the prescaler counter is cleared. This means that any
RESET will clear the prescaler counter.
Switching from one capture prescaler to another may
generate an interrupt. Also, the prescaler counter will
not be cleared; therefore, the first capture may be from
a non-zero prescaler. Example 15-1 shows the recommended method for switching between capture prescalers. This example also clears the prescaler counter
and will not generate the “false” interrupt.
FIGURE 15-1:
CAN MESSAGE TIME-STAMP
The CAN capture event occurs when a message is
received in either of the receive buffers. The CAN module provides a rising edge to the CCP1 module to
cause a capture event. This feature is provided to
time-stamp the received CAN messages.
This feature is enabled by setting the CANCAP bit of
the CAN I/O control register (CIOCON<4>). The message receive signal from the CAN module then takes
the place of the events on RC2/CCP1.

Compare Mode
In Compare mode, the 16-bit CCPR1 and ECCPR1
register value is constantly compared against either the
TMR1 register pair value, or the TMR3 register pair
value. When a match occurs, the CCP1 pin can have
one of the following actions:
•
•
•
•
Driven high
Driven low
Toggle output (high to low or low to high)
Remains unchanged
TIMER1/TIMER3 MODE SELECTION
Timer1 and/or Timer3 must be running in Timer mode,
or Synchronized Counter mode, if the CCP module is
using the compare feature. In Asynchronous Counter
mode, the compare operation may not work.
15.3.3
SOFTWARE INTERRUPT MODE
When Generate Software Interrupt is chosen, the
CCP1 pin is not affected. Only a CCP interrupt is
generated (if enabled).
The action on the pin is based on the value of control
bits CCP1M3:CCP1M0. At the same time, interrupt flag
bit CCP1IF is set.
15.3.4
15.3.1
The special event trigger output of CCP1 resets either
the TMR1 or TMR3 register pair. Additionally, the
ECCP1 Special Event Trigger will start an A/D
conversion, if the A/D module is enabled.
CCP1 PIN CONFIGURATION
The user must configure the CCP1 pin as an output by
clearing the appropriate TRISC bit.
Note:
Clearing the CCP1CON register will force
the CCP1 compare output latch to the
default low level. This is not the data latch.

PWM Mode
In Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) mode, the CCP1 pin
produces up to a 10-bit resolution PWM output. Since
the CCP1 pin is multiplexed with the PORTC data latch,
the TRISC<2> bit must be cleared to make the CCP1
pin an output.
Note:
Clearing the CCP1CON register will force
the CCP1 PWM output latch to the default
low level. This is not the PORTC I/O data
latch.
Figure 15-3 shows a simplified block diagram of the
CCP module in PWM mode.
For a step-by-step procedure on how to set up the CCP
module for PWM operation, see Section 15.4.3.
FIGURE 15-3:

The PWM period is specified by writing to the PR2 register. The PWM period can be calculated using the
following formula.
EQUATION 15-1:
PWM period = [(PR2) + 1] • 4 • TOSC •
(TMR2 prescale value)
PWM frequency is defined as 1 / [PWM period].
When TMR2 is equal to PR2, the following three events
occur on the next increment cycle:
• TMR2 is cleared
• The CCP1 pin is set (exception: if PWM duty
cycle = 0%, the CCP1 pin will not be set)
• The PWM duty cycle is latched from CCPR1L into

EQUATION 15-2:
A PWM output (Figure 15-4) has a time-base (period)
and a time that the output stays high (duty cycle). The
frequency of the PWM is the inverse of the period
(1/period).
PWM OUTPUT
The Timer2 postscaler (see Section 13.0)
is not used in the determination of the
PWM frequency. The postscaler could be
used to have a servo update rate at a
different frequency than the PWM output.
The PWM duty cycle is specified by writing to the
CCPR1L register and to the CCP1CON<5:4> bits. Up
to 10-bit resolution is available. The CCPR1L contains
the eight MSbs and the CCP1CON<5:4> contains the
two LSbs. This 10-bit value is represented by
CCPR1L:CCP1CON<5:4>. The following equation is
used to calculate the PWM duty cycle in time.
PWM duty cycle =(CCPR1L:CCP1CON<5:4>) •
TOSC • (TMR2 prescale value)
Note 1: 8-bit timer is concatenated with 2-bit internal Q clock,
or 2 bits of the prescaler, to create 10-bit time-base.
FIGURE 15-4:
PWM PERIOD
CCPR1L and CCP1CON<5:4> can be written to at any
time, but the duty cycle value is not latched into
CCPR1H until after a match between PR2 and TMR2
occurs (i.e., the period is complete). In PWM mode,
CCPR1H is a read only register.
The CCPR1H register and a 2-bit internal latch are
used to double buffer the PWM duty cycle. This double
buffering is essential for glitchless PWM operation.
When the CCPR1H and 2-bit latch match TMR2, concatenated with an internal 2-bit Q clock, or 2 bits of the
TMR2 prescaler, the CCP1 pin is cleared.

ECCP1 Module
Enhanced Capture/Compare/PWM Register1 (ECCPR1)
is comprised of two 8-bit registers: ECCPR1L (low
byte) and ECCPR1H (high byte). The ECCP1CON register controls the operation of ECCP1; the additional
registers, ECCPAS and ECCP1DEL, control enhanced
PWM specific features. All registers are readable and
writable.
Table 16-1 shows the timer resources for the ECCP
module modes. Table 16-2 describes the interactions
of the ECCP module with the standard CCP module.
TABLE 16-2:
ECCP1 Mode
In PWM mode, the ECCP module can have up to four
available outputs, depending on which Operating mode
is selected. These outputs are multiplexed with PORTD
and the Parallel Slave Port. Both the Operating mode
and the output pin assignments are configured by setting
PWM Output Configuration bits EPWM1M1:EPWM1M0
(ECCP1CON<7:6>). The specific pin assignments for
the various Output modes are shown in Table 16-3.

Standard PWM Mode
Figure 16-1 shows a simplified block diagram of PWM
operation. All control registers are double-buffered and
are loaded at the beginning of a new PWM cycle (the
period boundary when the assigned timer resets), in
order to prevent glitches on any of the outputs. The
exception is the PWM delay register ECCP1DEL,
which is loaded at either the duty cycle boundary or the
boundary period (whichever comes first). Because of
the buffering, the module waits until the assigned timer
resets, instead of starting immediately. This means that
enhanced PWM waveforms do not exactly match the
standard PWM waveforms, but are instead offset by
one full instruction cycle (4 TOSC).
When configured in Single Output mode, the ECCP
module functions identically to the standard CCP module in PWM mode, as described in Section 15.4. The
differences in registers and ports are as described in
Section 16.2; in addition, the two Least Significant bits
of the 10-bit PWM duty cycle value are represented by
ECCP1CON<5:4>.
Note:
When setting up single output PWM operations, users are free to use either of the processes described in Section 15.4.3 or
Section 16.5.8. The latter is more generic,
but will work for either single or multi-output
PWM.
16.5
As before, the user must manually configure the appropriate TRISD bits for output.
Enhanced PWM Mode
16.5.1
The Enhanced PWM mode provides additional PWM
output options for a broader range of control applications. The module is an upwardly compatible version of
the standard CCP module and is modified to provide up
to four outputs, designated P1A through P1D. Users
are also able to select the polarity of the signal (either
active high or active low). The module’s Output mode
and polarity are configured by setting the
EPWM1M1:EPWM1M0 and ECCP1M3:ECCP1M0 bits
of the ECCP1CON register (ECCP1CON<7:6> and
ECCP1CON<3:0>, respectively).
PWM OUTPUT CONFIGURATIONS
The EPWM1M<1:0> bits in the ECCP1CON register
allow one of four configurations:
•
•
•
•
Single Output
Half-Bridge Output
Full-Bridge Output, Forward mode
Full-Bridge Output, Reverse mode
The Single Output mode is the Standard PWM mode
discussed in Section 15.4. The Half-Bridge and FullBridge Output modes are covered in detail in the
sections that follow.
The general relationship of the outputs in all
configurations is summarized in Figure 16-2.

In the Half-Bridge Output mode, two pins are used as
outputs to drive push-pull loads. The RD4/PSP4/
ECCP1/P1A pin has the PWM output signal, while the
RD5/PSP5/P1B pin has the complementary PWM output signal (Figure 16-3). This mode can be used for
half-bridge applications, as shown in Figure 16-4, or for
full-bridge applications, where four power switches are
being modulated with two PWM signals.

FULL-BRIDGE MODE
In Full-Bridge Output mode, four pins are used as outputs; however, only two outputs are active at a time. In
the Forward mode, pin RD4/PSP4/ECCP1/P1A is continuously active, and pin RD7/PSP7/P1D is modulated.
In the Reverse mode, RD6/PSP6/P1C pin is continuously active, and RD5/PSP5/P1B pin is modulated.
These are illustrated in Figure 16-5.

Direction Change in Full-Bridge
Mode
In the Full-Bridge Output mode, the EPWM1M1 bit in
the ECCP1CON register allows user to control the
Forward/Reverse direction. When the application firmware changes this direction control bit, the ECCP1
module will assume the new direction on the next PWM
cycle. The current PWM cycle still continues, however,
the non-modulated outputs, P1A and P1C signals, will
transition to the new direction TOSC, 4 TOSC or 16 TOSC
earlier (for T2CKRS<1:0> = 00, 01 or 1x, respectively),
before the end of the period. During this transition
cycle, the modulated outputs, P1B and P1D, will go to
the inactive state (Figure 16-7).
Note that in the Full-Bridge Output mode, the ECCP
module does not provide any deadband delay. In general, since only one output is modulated at all times,
deadband delay is not required. However, there is a situation where a deadband delay might be required. This
situation occurs when all of the following conditions are
true:
1.
2.
Figure 16-8 shows an example where the PWM direction changes from forward to reverse, at a near 100%
duty cycle. At time t1, the output P1A and P1D become
inactive, while output P1C becomes active. In this
example, since the turn off time of the power devices is
longer than the turn on time, a shoot-through current
flows through power devices QB and QD (see
Figure 16-6) for the duration of ‘t’. The same phenomenon will occur to power devices QA and QC for PWM
direction change from reverse to forward.
If changing PWM direction at high duty cycle is required
for an application, one of the following requirements
must be met:
1.
2.
Avoid changing PWM output direction at or near
100% duty cycle.
Use switch drivers that compensate the slow
turn off of the power devices. The total turn off
time (toff) of the power device and the driver
must be less than the turn on time (ton).
The direction of the PWM output changes when
the duty cycle of the output is at or near 100%.
The turn off time of the power switch, including
the power device and driver circuit, is greater
than turn on time.

16.5.4
PROGRAMMABLE DEADBAND
DELAY
In half-bridge or full-bridge applications, where all
power switches are modulated at the PWM frequency
at all times, the power switches normally require longer
time to turn off than to turn on. If both the upper and
lower power switches are switched at the same time
(one turned on, and the other turned off), both switches
will be on for a short period of time until one switch
completely turns off. During this time, a very high current (shoot-through current) flows through both power
switches, shorting the bridge supply. To avoid this
potentially destructive shoot-through current from flowing during switching, turning on the power switch is normally delayed to allow the other switch to completely
turn off.
In the Half-Bridge Output mode, a digitally programmable deadband delay is available to avoid shootthrough current from destroying the bridge power
switches. The delay occurs at the signal transition from
the non-active state to the active state. See Figure 16-3
for illustration. The ECCP1DEL register (Register 16-2)
sets the amount of delay.
16.5.5
SYSTEM IMPLEMENTATION
When the ECCP module is used in the PWM mode, the
application hardware must use the proper external pullup and/or pull-down resistors on the PWM output pins.
When the microcontroller powers up, all of the I/O pins
are in the high-impedance state. The external pull-up
and pull-down resistors must keep the power switch
REGISTER 16-2:
devices in the off state, until the microcontroller drives
the I/O pins with the proper signal levels, or activates
the PWM output(s).
16.5.6
START-UP CONSIDERATIONS
Prior to enabling the PWM outputs, the P1A, P1B, P1C
and P1D latches may not be in the proper states.
Enabling the TRISD bits for output at the same time
with the ECCP1 module may cause damage to the
power switch devices. The ECCP1 module must be
enabled in the proper Output mode with the TRISD bits
enabled as inputs. Once the ECCP1 completes a full
PWM cycle, the P1A, P1B, P1C and 1PD output
latches are properly initialized. At this time, the TRISD
bits can be enabled for outputs to start driving the
power switch devices. The completion of a full PWM
cycle is indicated by the TMR2IF bit going from a ’0’ to
a ’1’.
16.5.7
OUTPUT POLARITY
CONFIGURATION
The ECCP1M<1:0> bits in the ECCP1CON register
allow user to choose the logic conventions (asserted
high/low) for each of the outputs.
The PWM output polarities must be selected before the
PWM outputs are enabled. Charging the polarity configuration while the PWM outputs are active is not recommended, since it may result in unpredictable
operation.

SETUP FOR PWM OPERATION
2.
The following steps should be taken when configuring
the ECCP1 module for PWM operation:
1.
Configure the PWM module:
a) Disable the ECCP1/P1A, P1B, P1C and/or
P1D outputs by setting the respective TRISD
bits.
b) Set the PWM period by loading the PR2
register.
c) Set the PWM duty cycle by loading the
ECCPR1L register and ECCP1CON<5:4> bits.
d) Configure the ECCP1 module for the desired
PWM operation, by loading the ECCP1CON
register with the appropriate value. With the
ECCP1M<3:0> bits, select the active high/low
levels for each PWM output. With the
EPWM1M<1:0> bits, select one of the
available Output modes.
e) For Half-Bridge Output mode, set the deadband delay by loading the ECCP1DEL
register with the appropriate value.
TABLE 16-5:
3.
Configure and start TMR2:
a) Clear the TMR2 interrupt flag bit by clearing
the TMR2IF bit in the PIR1 register.
b) Set the TMR2 prescale value by loading the
T2CKPS bits (T2CON<1:0>).
c) Enable Timer2 by setting the TMR2ON bit
(T2CON<2>) register.
Enable PWM outputs after a new cycle has
started:
a) Wait until TMR2 overflows (TMR2IF bit
becomes a ’1’). The new PWM cycle begins
here.
b) Enable the ECCP1/P1A, P1B, P1C and/or
P1D pin outputs by clearing the respective
TRISD bits.

Enhanced CCP Auto-Shutdown
When the ECCP is programmed for any of the PWM
modes, the output pins associated with its function may
be configured for Auto-Shutdown.
Auto-Shutdown allows the internal output of either of
the two comparator modules, or the external interrupt
0, to asynchronously disable the ECCP output pins.
Thus, an external analog or digital event can discontinue an ECCP sequence. The comparator output(s) to
be used is selected by setting the proper mode bits in
the ECCPAS register. To use external interrupt INT0 as
a shutdown event, INT0IE must be set. To use either of
the comparator module outputs as a shutdown event,
corresponding comparators must be enabled. When a
shutdown occurs, the selected output values
(PSSACn, PSSBDn) are written to the ECCP port pins.
REGISTER 16-3:
The internal shutdown signal is gated with the outputs
and will immediately and asynchronously disable the
outputs. If the internal shutdown is still in effect at the
time a new cycle begins, that entire cycle is
suppressed, thus eliminating narrow, glitchy pulses.
The ECCPASE bit is set by hardware upon a comparator event and can only be cleared in software. The
ECCP outputs can be re-enabled only by clearing the
ECCPASE bit.
The Auto-Shutdown mode can be manually entered by
writing a ‘1’ to the ECCPASE bit.

SPI Mode
The SPI mode allows 8 bits of data to be synchronously
transmitted and received simultaneously. All four modes
of SPI are supported. To accomplish communication,
typically three pins are used:
Master SSP (MSSP) Module
Overview
The Master Synchronous Serial Port (MSSP) module is
a serial interface useful for communicating with other
peripheral or microcontroller devices. These peripheral
devices may be serial EEPROMs, shift registers, display drivers, A/D converters, etc. The MSSP module
can operate in one of two modes:
• Serial Data Out (SDO) - RC5/SDO
• Serial Data In (SDI) - RC4/SDI/SDA
• Serial Clock (SCK) - RC3/SCK/SCL
Additionally, a fourth pin may be used when in a Slave
mode of operation:
• Slave Select (SS) - RF7/SS
Figure 17-1 shows the block diagram of the MSSP
module when operating in SPI mode.
• Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI)
• Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C)
- Full Master mode
- Slave mode (with general address call)

REGISTERS
The MSSP module has four registers for SPI mode
operation. These are:
•
•
•
•
MSSP Control Register1 (SSPCON1)
MSSP Status Register (SSPSTAT)
Serial Receive/Transmit Buffer (SSPBUF)
MSSP Shift Register (SSPSR) - Not directly
accessible
SSPCON1 and SSPSTAT are the control and status
registers in SPI mode operation. The SSPCON1 register is readable and writable. The lower 6 bits of the
SSPSTAT are read only. The upper two bits of the
SSPSTAT are read/write.
REGISTER 17-1:
SSPSR is the shift register used for shifting data in or
out. SSPBUF is the buffer register to which data bytes
are written to or read from.
In receive operations, SSPSR and SSPBUF together
create a double buffered receiver. When SSPSR
receives a complete byte, it is transferred to SSPBUF
and the SSPIF interrupt is set.
During transmission, the SSPBUF is not double buffered. A write to SSPBUF will write to both SSPBUF and
SSPSR.

17.3.2
OPERATION
When initializing the SPI, several options need to be
specified. This is done by programming the appropriate
control bits (SSPCON1<5:0>) and SSPSTAT<7:6>.
These control bits allow the following to be specified:
•
•
•
•
Master mode (SCK is the clock output)
Slave mode (SCK is the clock input)
Clock Polarity (IDLE state of SCK)
Data input sample phase (middle or end of data
output time)
• Clock edge (output data on rising/falling edge of
SCK)
• Clock Rate (Master mode only)
• Slave Select mode (Slave mode only)
The MSSP consists of a transmit/receive Shift Register
(SSPSR) and a buffer register (SSPBUF). The SSPSR
shifts the data in and out of the device, MSb first. The
SSPBUF holds the data that was written to the SSPSR,
until the received data is ready. Once the 8 bits of data
have been received, that byte is moved to the SSPBUF
register. Then the buffer full detect bit, BF
(SSPSTAT<0>), and the interrupt flag bit, SSPIF, are
set. This double buffering of the received data
(SSPBUF) allows the next byte to start reception before
reading the data that was just received. Any write to the
EXAMPLE 17-1:
SSPBUF register during transmission/reception of data
will be ignored, and the write collision detect bit, WCOL
(SSPCON1<7>), will be set. User software must clear
the WCOL bit so that it can be determined if the following write(s) to the SSPBUF register completed
successfully.
When the application software is expecting to receive
valid data, the SSPBUF should be read before the next
byte of data to transfer is written to the SSPBUF. Buffer
full bit, BF (SSPSTAT<0>), indicates when SSPBUF
has been loaded with the received data (transmission
is complete). When the SSPBUF is read, the BF bit is
cleared. This data may be irrelevant if the SPI is only a
transmitter. Generally, the MSSP Interrupt is used to
determine when the transmission/reception has completed. The SSPBUF must be read and/or written. If the
interrupt method is not going to be used, then software
polling can be done to ensure that a write collision does
not occur. Example 17-1 shows the loading of the
SSPBUF (SSPSR) for data transmission.
The SSPSR is not directly readable or writable, and
can only be accessed by addressing the SSPBUF register. Additionally, the MSSP status register (SSPSTAT)
indicates the various status conditions.

ENABLING SPI I/O
17.3.4
To enable the serial port, SSP Enable bit, SSPEN
(SSPCON1<5>), must be set. To reset or reconfigure
SPI mode, clear the SSPEN bit, re-initialize the
SSPCON registers, and then set the SSPEN bit. This
configures the SDI, SDO, SCK, and SS pins as serial
port pins. For the pins to behave as the serial port function, some must have their data direction bits (in the
TRIS register) appropriately programmed as follows:
• SDI is automatically controlled by the SPI module
• SDO must have TRISC<5> bit cleared
• SCK (Master mode) must have TRISC<3> bit
cleared
• SCK (Slave mode) must have TRISC<3> bit set
• SS must have TRISF<7> bit set
TYPICAL CONNECTION
Figure 17-2 shows a typical connection between two
microcontrollers. The master controller (Processor 1)
initiates the data transfer by sending the SCK signal.
Data is shifted out of both shift registers on their programmed clock edge, and latched on the opposite
edge of the clock. Both processors should be programmed to the same Clock Polarity (CKP), then both
controllers would send and receive data at the same
time. Whether the data is meaningful (or dummy data)
depends on the application software. This leads to
three scenarios for data transmission:
• Master sends data — Slave sends dummy data
• Master sends data — Slave sends data
• Master sends dummy data — Slave sends data
Any serial port function that is not desired may be overridden by programming the corresponding data direction (TRIS) register to the opposite value.

MASTER MODE
The clock polarity is selected by appropriately programming the CKP bit (SSPCON1<4>). This then, would
give waveforms for SPI communication as shown in
Figure 17-3, Figure 17-5, and Figure 17-6, where the
MSB is transmitted first. In Master mode, the SPI clock
rate (bit rate) is user programmable to be one of the
following:
The master can initiate the data transfer at any time
because it controls the SCK. The master determines
when the slave (Processor 2, Figure 17-2) is to broadcast data by the software protocol.
In Master mode, the data is transmitted/received as
soon as the SSPBUF register is written to. If the SPI is
only going to receive, the SDO output could be disabled (programmed as an input). The SSPSR register
will continue to shift in the signal present on the SDI pin
at the programmed clock rate. As each byte is
received, it will be loaded into the SSPBUF register as
if a normal received byte (interrupts and status bits
appropriately set). This could be useful in receiver
applications as a “Line Activity Monitor” mode.

When the CKE bit is set, the SDO data is valid before
there is a clock edge on SCK. The change of the input

SLAVE MODE
In Slave mode, the data is transmitted and received as
the external clock pulses appear on SCK. When the
last bit is latched, the SSPIF interrupt flag bit is set.
While in Slave mode, the external clock is supplied by
the external clock source on the SCK pin. This external
clock must meet the minimum high and low times as
specified in the electrical specifications.
the SDO pin is no longer driven, even if in the middle of a transmitted byte, and becomes a floating
output. External pull-up/pull-down resistors may be
desirable, depending on the application.
Note 1: When the SPI is in Slave mode with SS
pin control enabled (SSPCON<3:0> =
0100), the SPI module will reset if the SS
pin is set to VDD.
2: If the SPI is used in Slave mode with CKE
set, then the SS pin control must be
enabled.
While in SLEEP mode, the slave can transmit/receive
data. When a byte is received, the device will wake-up
from SLEEP.
17.3.7
When the SPI module resets, the bit counter is forced
to 0. This can be done by either forcing the SS pin to a
high level or clearing the SSPEN bit.
SLAVE SELECT
SYNCHRONIZATION
The SS pin allows a Synchronous Slave mode. The
SPI must be in Slave mode with SS pin control
enabled (SSPCON1<3:0> = 04h). The pin must not
be driven low for the SS pin to function as an input.
The Data Latch must be high. When the SS pin is
low, transmission and reception are enabled and
the SDO pin is driven. When the SS pin goes high,
FIGURE 17-4:
To emulate two-wire communication, the SDO pin can
be connected to the SDI pin. When the SPI needs to
operate as a receiver, the SDO pin can be configured
as an input. This disables transmissions from the SDO.
The SDI can always be left as an input (SDI function),
since it cannot create a bus conflict.

SLEEP OPERATION
17.3.10
In Master mode, all module clocks are halted and the
transmission/reception will remain in that state until the
device wakes from SLEEP. After the device returns to
normal mode, the module will continue to
transmit/receive data.
Table 17-1 shows the compatibility between the
standard SPI modes and the states of the CKP and
CKE control bits.
TABLE 17-1:
In Slave mode, the SPI transmit/receive shift register
operates asynchronously to the device. This allows the
device to be placed in SLEEP mode and data to be
shifted into the SPI transmit/receive shift register.
When all 8 bits have been received, the MSSP interrupt
flag bit will be set and if enabled, will wake the device
from SLEEP.

master and slave functions (including general call support) and provides interrupts on START and STOP bits
in hardware to determine a free bus (multi-master function). The MSSP module implements the standard
mode specifications, as well as 7-bit and 10-bit
addressing.
Two pins are used for data transfer:
• Serial clock (SCL) - RC3/SCK/SCL
• Serial data (SDA) - RC4/SDI/SDA
The user must configure these pins as inputs or outputs
through the TRISC<4:3> bits.

17.4.2
OPERATION
17.4.3.1
The MSSP module functions are enabled by setting
MSSP Enable bit, SSPEN (SSPCON<5>).
The SSPCON1 register allows control of the I 2C operation. Four mode selection bits (SSPCON<3:0>) allow
one of the following I 2C modes to be selected:
I2C Master mode, clock = OSC/4 (SSPADD +1)
I 2C Slave mode (7-bit address)
I 2C Slave mode (10-bit address)
I 2C Slave mode (7-bit address), with START and
STOP bit interrupts enabled
• I 2C Slave mode (10-bit address), with START and
STOP bit interrupts enabled
• I 2C Firmware controlled master operation, slave
is IDLE
•
•
•
•
Selection of any I 2C mode, with the SSPEN bit set,
forces the SCL and SDA pins to be open drain, provided these pins are programmed to inputs by setting
the appropriate TRISC bits. To ensure proper operation
of the module, pull-up resistors must be provided
externally to the SCL and SDA pins.
17.4.3
SLAVE MODE
In Slave mode, the SCL and SDA pins must be configured as inputs (TRISC<4:3> set). The MSSP module
will override the input state with the output data when
required (slave-transmitter).
Once the MSSP module has been enabled, it waits for
a START condition to occur. Following the START condition, the 8-bits are shifted into the SSPSR register. All
incoming bits are sampled with the rising edge of the
clock (SCL) line. The value of register SSPSR<7:1> is
compared to the value of the SSPADD register. The
address is compared on the falling edge of the eighth
clock (SCL) pulse. If the addresses match, and the BF
and SSPOV bits are clear, the following events occur:
1.
2.
3.
4.
When an address is matched or the data transfer after
an address match is received, the hardware automatically will generate the Acknowledge (ACK) pulse and
load the SSPBUF register with the received value currently in the SSPSR register.
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Any combination of the following conditions will cause
the MSSP module not to give this ACK pulse:
• The buffer full bit BF (SSPSTAT<0>) was set
before the transfer was received.
• The overflow bit SSPOV (SSPCON<6>) was set
before the transfer was received.
In this case, the SSPSR register value is not loaded
into the SSPBUF, but bit SSPIF (PIR1<3>) is set. The
BF bit is cleared by reading the SSPBUF register, while
bit SSPOV is cleared through software.
The SSPSR register value is loaded into the
SSPBUF register.
The buffer full bit BF is set.
An ACK pulse is generated.
MSSP interrupt flag bit, SSPIF (PIR1<3>) is set
(interrupt is generated if enabled) on the falling
edge of the ninth SCL pulse.
In 10-bit Address mode, two address bytes need to be
received by the slave. The five Most Significant bits
(MSbs) of the first address byte specify if this is a 10-bit
address. Bit R/W (SSPSTAT<2>) must specify a write
so the slave device will receive the second address
byte. For a 10-bit address, the first byte would equal
‘11110 A9 A8 0’, where ‘A9’ and ‘A8’ are the two
MSbs of the address. The sequence of events for 10-bit
address is as follows, with steps 7 through 9 for the
slave-transmitter:

17.4.3.2
Reception
17.4.3.3
When the R/W bit of the address byte is clear and an
address match occurs, the R/W bit of the SSPSTAT
register is cleared. The received address is loaded into
the SSPBUF register and the SDA line is held low
(ACK).
When the address byte overflow condition exists, then
the no Acknowledge (ACK) pulse is given. An overflow
condition is defined as either bit BF (SSPSTAT<0>) is
set, or bit SSPOV (SSPCON1<6>) is set.
An MSSP interrupt is generated for each data transfer
byte. Flag bit SSPIF (PIR1<3>) must be cleared in software. The SSPSTAT register is used to determine the
status of the byte.
If SEN is enabled (SSPCON1<0>=1), RC3/SCK/SCL
will be held low (clock stretch) following each data
transfer. The clock must be released by setting bit CKP
(SSPCON<4>). See Section 17.4.4, Clock Stretching
for more detail.
Transmission
When the R/W bit of the incoming address byte is set
and an address match occurs, the R/W bit of the
SSPSTAT register is set. The received address is
loaded into the SSPBUF register. The ACK pulse will
be sent on the ninth bit and pin RC3/SCK/SCL is held
low, regardless of SEN (see Section 17.4.4, Clock
Stretching for more detail). By stretching the clock, the
master will be unable to assert another clock pulse until
the slave is done preparing the transmit data.The transmit data must be loaded into the SSPBUF register,
which also loads the SSPSR register. Then pin
RC3/SCK/SCL should be enabled by setting bit CKP
(SSPCON1<4>). The eight data bits are shifted out on
the falling edge of the SCL input. This ensures that the
SDA signal is valid during the SCL high time
(Figure 17-9).
The ACK pulse from the master-receiver is latched on
the rising edge of the ninth SCL input pulse. If the SDA
line is high (not ACK), then the data transfer is complete. In this case, when the ACK is latched by the
slave, the slave logic is reset (resets SSPSTAT register) and the slave monitors for another occurrence of
the START bit. If the SDA line was low (ACK), the next
transmit data must be loaded into the SSPBUF register.
Again, pin RC3/SCK/SCL must be enabled by setting
bit CKP.
An MSSP interrupt is generated for each data transfer
byte. The SSPIF bit must be cleared in software and
the SSPSTAT register is used to determine the status
of the byte. The SSPIF bit is set on the falling edge of
the ninth clock pulse.

17.4.4
CLOCK STRETCHING
17.4.4.3
Both 7- and 10-bit Slave modes implement automatic
clock stretching during a transmit sequence.
The SEN bit (SSPCON2<0>) allows clock stretching to
be enabled during receives. Setting SEN will cause
the SCL pin to be held low at the end of each data
receive sequence.
17.4.4.1
Clock Stretching for 7-bit Slave
Receive Mode (SEN = 1)
In 7-bit Slave Receive mode, on the falling edge of the
ninth clock at the end of the ACK sequence, if the BF
bit is set, the CKP bit in the SSPCON1 register is automatically cleared, forcing the SCL output to be held
low. The CKP being cleared to ‘0’ will assert the SCL
line low. The CKP bit must be set in the user’s ISR
before reception is allowed to continue. By holding the
SCL line low, the user has time to service the ISR and
read the contents of the SSPBUF before the master
device can initiate another receive sequence. This will
prevent buffer overruns from occurring.
Note 1: If the user reads the contents of the
SSPBUF before the falling edge of the
ninth clock, thus clearing the BF bit, the
CKP bit will not be cleared and clock
stretching will not occur.
2: The CKP bit can be set in software,
regardless of the state of the BF bit. The
user should be careful to clear the BF bit
in the ISR before the next receive
sequence, in order to prevent an overflow
condition.
17.4.4.2
Clock Stretching for 7-bit Slave
Transmit Mode
7-bit Slave Transmit mode implements clock stretching
by clearing the CKP bit after the falling edge of the
ninth clock, if the BF bit is clear. This occurs, regardless of the state of the SEN bit.
The user’s ISR must set the CKP bit before transmission is allowed to continue. By holding the SCL line
low, the user has time to service the ISR and load the
contents of the SSPBUF before the master device can
initiate another transmit sequence (see Figure 17-9).
Note 1: If the user loads the contents of SSPBUF,
setting the BF bit before the falling edge of
the ninth clock, the CKP bit will not be
cleared and clock stretching will not occur.
2: The CKP bit can be set in software,
regardless of the state of the BF bit.
17.4.4.4
Clock Stretching for 10-bit Slave
Transmit Mode
In 10-bit Slave Transmit mode, clock stretching is controlled during the first two address sequences by the
state of the UA bit, just as it is in 10-bit Slave Receive
mode. The first two addresses are followed by a third
address sequence, which contains the high order bits
of the 10-bit address and the R/W bit set to ‘1’. After
the third address sequence is performed, the UA bit is
not set, the module is now configured in Transmit
mode, and clock stretching is controlled by the BF flag,
as in 7-bit Slave Transmit mode (see Figure 17-11).
Clock Stretching for 10-bit Slave
Receive Mode (SEN = 1)
In 10-bit Slave Receive mode, during the address
sequence, clock stretching automatically takes place
but CKP is not cleared. During this time, if the UA bit is
set after the ninth clock, clock stretching is initiated.
The UA bit is set after receiving the upper byte of the
10-bit address, and following the receive of the second
byte of the 10-bit address with the R/W bit cleared to
‘0’. The release of the clock line occurs upon updating
SSPADD. Clock stretching will occur on each data
receive sequence as described in 7-bit mode.
Note:
If the user polls the UA bit and clears it by
updating the SSPADD register before the
falling edge of the ninth clock occurs, and if
the user hasn’t cleared the BF bit by reading the SSPBUF register before that time,
then the CKP bit will still NOT be asserted

Clock Synchronization and
the CKP bit
If a user clears the CKP bit, the SCL output is forced to
‘0’. Setting the CKP bit will not assert the SCL output
low until the SCL output is already sampled low. If the
user attempts to drive SCL low, the CKP bit will not
FIGURE 17-12:
assert the SCL line until an external I2C master device
has already asserted the SCL line. The SCL output will
remain low until the CKP bit is set, and all other devices
on the I2C bus have de-asserted SCL. This ensures
that a write to the CKP bit will not violate the minimum
high time requirement for SCL (see Figure 17-12).

GENERAL CALL ADDRESS
SUPPORT
If the general call address matches, the SSPSR is
transferred to the SSPBUF, the BF flag bit is set (eighth
bit), and on the falling edge of the ninth bit (ACK bit),
the SSPIF interrupt flag bit is set.
The addressing procedure for the I2C bus is such that
the first byte after the START condition usually determines which device will be the slave addressed by the
master. The exception is the general call address,
which can address all devices. When this address is
used, all devices should, in theory, respond with an
Acknowledge.
When the interrupt is serviced, the source for the interrupt can be checked by reading the contents of the
SSPBUF. The value can be used to determine if the
address was device specific or a general call address.
In 10-bit mode, the SSPADD is required to be updated
for the second half of the address to match, and the UA
bit is set (SSPSTAT<1>). If the general call address is
sampled when the GCEN bit is set, while the slave is
configured in 10-bit Address mode, then the second
half of the address is not necessary, the UA bit will not
be set, and the slave will begin receiving data after the
Acknowledge (Figure 17-15).
The general call address is one of eight addresses
reserved for specific purposes by the I2C protocol. It
consists of all 0’s with R/W = 0.
The general call address is recognized when the General Call Enable bit (GCEN) is enabled (SSPCON2<7>
set). Following a START bit detect, 8-bits are shifted
into the SSPSR and the address is compared against
the SSPADD. It is also compared to the general call
address and fixed in hardware.

MASTER MODE
Note:
Master mode is enabled by setting and clearing the
appropriate SSPM bits in SSPCON1 and by setting the
SSPEN bit. In Master mode, the SCL and SDA lines
are manipulated by the MSSP hardware.
Master mode of operation is supported by interrupt
generation on the detection of the START and STOP
conditions. The STOP (P) and START (S) bits are
cleared from a RESET or when the MSSP module is
disabled. Control of the I 2C bus may be taken when the
P bit is set or the bus is IDLE, with both the S and P bits
clear.
The following events will cause SSP interrupt flag bit,
SSPIF, to be set (SSP interrupt if enabled):

I2C Master Mode Operation
A typical transmit sequence would go as follows:
The master device generates all of the serial clock
pulses and the START and STOP conditions. A transfer is ended with a STOP condition or with a Repeated
START condition. Since the Repeated START condition is also the beginning of the next serial transfer, the
I2C bus will not be released.
In Master Transmitter mode, serial data is output
through SDA, while SCL outputs the serial clock. The
first byte transmitted contains the slave address of the
receiving device (7 bits) and the Read/Write (R/W) bit.
In this case, the R/W bit will be logic ’0’. Serial data is
transmitted 8 bits at a time. After each byte is transmitted, an Acknowledge bit is received. START and STOP
conditions are output to indicate the beginning and the
end of a serial transfer.
In Master Receive mode, the first byte transmitted contains the slave address of the transmitting device
(7 bits) and the R/W bit. In this case, the R/W bit will be
logic ’1’. Thus, the first byte transmitted is a 7-bit slave
address followed by a ’1’ to indicate receive bit. Serial
data is received via SDA, while SCL outputs the serial
clock. Serial data is received 8 bits at a time. After each
byte is received, an Acknowledge bit is transmitted.
START and STOP conditions indicate the beginning
and end of transmission.
The baud rate generator used for the SPI mode operation is used to set the SCL clock frequency for either
100 kHz, 400 kHz or 1 MHz I2C operation. See
Section 17.4.7, Baud Rate Generator for more details.

BAUD RATE GENERATOR
In I2C Master mode, the baud rate generator (BRG)
reload value is placed in the lower 7 bits of the
SSPADD register (Figure 17-17). When a write occurs
to SSPBUF, the baud rate generator will automatically
begin counting. The BRG counts down to 0 and stops
until another reload has taken place. The BRG count is
decremented twice per instruction cycle (TCY) on the
Q2 and Q4 clocks. In I2C Master mode, the BRG is
reloaded automatically.
FIGURE 17-17:
Once the given operation is complete (i.e., transmission of the last data bit is followed by ACK), the internal
clock will automatically stop counting and the SCL pin
will remain in its last state.
Table 17-3 demonstrates clock rates based on
instruction cycles and the BRG value loaded into
SSPADD.

Clock Arbitration
Clock arbitration occurs when the master, during any
receive, transmit or Repeated START/STOP condition,
de-asserts the SCL pin (SCL allowed to float high).
When the SCL pin is allowed to float high, the baud rate
generator (BRG) is suspended from counting until the
SCL pin is actually sampled high. When the SCL pin is
FIGURE 17-18:
sampled high, the baud rate generator is reloaded with
the contents of SSPADD<6:0> and begins counting.
This ensures that the SCL high time will always be at
least one BRG rollover count, in the event that the clock
is held low by an external device (Figure 17-18).

CONDITION TIMING
17.4.8.1
If the user writes the SSPBUF when a START
sequence is in progress, the WCOL is set and the contents of the buffer are unchanged (the write doesn’t
occur).
To initiate a START condition, the user sets the START
condition enable bit, SEN (SSPCON2<0>). If the SDA
and SCL pins are sampled high, the baud rate generator is reloaded with the contents of SSPADD<6:0> and
starts its count. If SCL and SDA are both sampled high
when the baud rate generator times out (TBRG), the
SDA pin is driven low. The action of the SDA being
driven low, while SCL is high, is the START condition
and causes the S bit (SSPSTAT<3>) to be set. Following this, the baud rate generator is reloaded with the
contents of SSPADD<6:0> and resumes its count.
When the baud rate generator times out (TBRG), the
SEN bit (SSPCON2<0>) will be automatically cleared
by hardware, the baud rate generator is suspended,
leaving the SDA line held low and the START condition
is complete.
Note:
WCOL Status Flag
Note:
Because queueing of events is not
allowed, writing to the lower 5 bits of
SSPCON2 is disabled until the START

If, at the beginning of the START condition,
the SDA and SCL pins are already sampled low, or if during the START condition
the SCL line is sampled low before the
SDA line is driven low, a bus collision
occurs, the Bus Collision Interrupt Flag,
BCLIF is set, the START condition is

I2C MASTER MODE REPEATED
START CONDITION TIMING
Immediately following the SSPIF bit getting set, the
user may write the SSPBUF with the 7-bit address in
7-bit mode, or the default first address in 10-bit mode.
After the first eight bits are transmitted and an ACK is
received, the user may then transmit an additional eight
bits of address (10-bit mode) or eight bits of data (7-bit
mode).
A Repeated START condition occurs when the RSEN
bit (SSPCON2<1>) is programmed high and the I2C
logic module is in the IDLE state. When the RSEN bit is
set, the SCL pin is asserted low. When the SCL pin is
sampled low, the baud rate generator is loaded with the
contents of SSPADD<5:0> and begins counting. The
SDA pin is released (brought high) for one baud rate
generator count (TBRG). When the baud rate generator
times out, if SDA is sampled high, the SCL pin will be
de-asserted (brought high). When SCL is sampled
high, the baud rate generator is reloaded with the contents of SSPADD<6:0> and begins counting. SDA and
SCL must be sampled high for one TBRG. This action is
then followed by assertion of the SDA pin (SDA = 0) for
one TBRG, while SCL is high. Following this, the RSEN
bit (SSPCON2<1>) will be automatically cleared and
the baud rate generator will not be reloaded, leaving
the SDA pin held low. As soon as a START condition is
detected on the SDA and SCL pins, the S bit
(SSPSTAT<3>) will be set. The SSPIF bit will not be set
until the baud rate generator has timed out.
17.4.9.1
WCOL Status Flag
If the user writes the SSPBUF when a Repeated
START sequence is in progress, the WCOL is set and
the contents of the buffer are unchanged (the write

Note:
Because queueing of events is not
allowed, writing of the lower 5 bits of
SSPCON2 is disabled until the Repeated
START condition is complete.
Note 1: If RSEN is programmed while any other
event is in progress, it will not take effect.
2: A bus collision during the Repeated
START condition occurs if:
• SDA is sampled low when SCL goes
from low to high.
• SCL goes low before SDA is
asserted low. This may indicate that
another master is attempting to
transmit a data "1".

I2C MASTER MODE
TRANSMISSION
17.4.10.3
Transmission of a data byte, a 7-bit address, or the
other half of a 10-bit address is accomplished by simply
writing a value to the SSPBUF register. This action will
set the buffer full flag bit, BF, and allow the baud rate
generator to begin counting and start the next transmission. Each bit of address/data will be shifted out onto
the SDA pin after the falling edge of SCL is asserted
(see data hold time specification parameter 106). SCL
is held low for one baud rate generator rollover count
(TBRG). Data should be valid before SCL is released
high (see data setup time specification parameter 107).
When the SCL pin is released high, it is held that way
for TBRG. The data on the SDA pin must remain stable
for that duration and some hold time after the next falling edge of SCL. After the eighth bit is shifted out (the
falling edge of the eighth clock), the BF flag is cleared
and the master releases SDA. This allows the slave
device being addressed to respond with an ACK bit
during the ninth bit time if an address match occurred
or if data was received properly. The status of ACK is
written into the ACKDT bit on the falling edge of the
ninth clock. If the master receives an Acknowledge, the
Acknowledge status bit, ACKSTAT, is cleared. If not,
the bit is set. After the ninth clock, the SSPIF bit is set
and the master clock (baud rate generator) is suspended until the next data byte is loaded into the
SSPBUF, leaving SCL low and SDA unchanged
(Figure 17-21).
After the write to the SSPBUF, each bit of address will
be shifted out on the falling edge of SCL until all seven
address bits and the R/W bit are completed. On the falling edge of the eighth clock, the master will de-assert
the SDA pin, allowing the slave to respond with an
Acknowledge. On the falling edge of the ninth clock, the
master will sample the SDA pin to see if the address
was recognized by a slave. The status of the ACK bit is
loaded into the ACKSTAT status bit (SSPCON2<6>).
Following the falling edge of the ninth clock transmission of the address, the SSPIF is set, the BF flag is
cleared and the baud rate generator is turned off until
another write to the SSPBUF takes place, holding SCL
low and allowing SDA to float.
17.4.10.1
BF Status Flag
ACKSTAT Status Flag
In Transmit mode, the ACKSTAT bit (SSPCON2<6>) is
cleared when the slave has sent an Acknowledge
(ACK = 0), and is set when the slave does not Acknowledge (ACK = 1). A slave sends an Acknowledge when
it has recognized its address (including a general call),
or when the slave has properly received its data.
17.4.11
I2C MASTER MODE RECEPTION
Master mode reception is enabled by programming the
receive enable bit, RCEN (SSPCON2<3>).
Note:
The RCEN bit should be set after ACK
sequence is complete, or the RCEN bit will
be disregarded.
The baud rate generator begins counting, and on each
rollover, the state of the SCL pin changes (high to
low/low to high) and data is shifted into the SSPSR.
After the falling edge of the eighth clock, the receive
enable flag is automatically cleared, the contents of the
SSPSR are loaded into the SSPBUF, the BF flag bit is
set, the SSPIF flag bit is set and the baud rate generator is suspended from counting, holding SCL low. The
MSSP is now in IDLE state, awaiting the next command. When the buffer is read by the CPU, the BF flag
bit is automatically cleared. The user can then send an
Acknowledge bit at the end of reception, by setting the
Acknowledge sequence enable bit, ACKEN
(SSPCON2<4>).
17.4.11.1

In receive operation, the BF bit is set when an address
or data byte is loaded into SSPBUF from SSPSR. It is

17.4.11.2

already in progress (i.e., SSPSR is still shifting in a data
byte), the WCOL bit is set and the contents of the buffer
are unchanged (the write doesn’t occur).
In Transmit mode, the BF bit (SSPSTAT<0>) is set
when the CPU writes to SSPBUF and is cleared when
all 8 bits are shifted out.
17.4.10.2

If the user writes the SSPBUF when a transmit is

ACKNOWLEDGE SEQUENCE
TIMING
17.4.13
A STOP bit is asserted on the SDA pin at the end of a
receive/transmit by setting the STOP sequence enable
bit, PEN (SSPCON2<2>). At the end of a receive/transmit the SCL line is held low after the falling edge of the
ninth clock. When the PEN bit is set, the master will
assert the SDA line low. When the SDA line is sampled
low, the baud rate generator is reloaded and counts
down to 0. When the baud rate generator times out, the
SCL pin will be brought high, and one TBRG (baud rate
generator rollover count) later, the SDA pin will be
de-asserted. When the SDA pin is sampled high while
SCL is high, the P bit (SSPSTAT<4>) is set. A TBRG
later, the PEN bit is cleared and the SSPIF bit is set
(Figure 17-24).
An Acknowledge sequence is enabled by setting the
Acknowledge
sequence
enable
bit,
ACKEN
(SSPCON2<4>). When this bit is set, the SCL pin is
pulled low and the contents of the Acknowledge data bit
are presented on the SDA pin. If the user wishes to generate an Acknowledge, then the ACKDT bit should be
cleared. If not, the user should set the ACKDT bit before
starting an Acknowledge sequence. The baud rate generator then counts for one rollover period (TBRG) and the
SCL pin is de-asserted (pulled high). When the SCL pin
is sampled high (clock arbitration), the baud rate generator counts for TBRG. The SCL pin is then pulled low. Following this, the ACKEN bit is automatically cleared, the
baud rate generator is turned off and the MSSP module
then goes into IDLE mode (Figure 17-23).

MULTI-MASTER MODE
In Multi-Master mode, the interrupt generation on the
detection of the START and STOP conditions allows
the determination of when the bus is free. The STOP
(P) and START (S) bits are cleared from a RESET or
when the MSSP module is disabled. Control of the I 2C
bus may be taken when the P bit (SSPSTAT<4>) is set,
or the bus is idle with both the S and P bits clear. When
the bus is busy, enabling the SSP interrupt will generate the interrupt when the STOP condition occurs.
In multi-master operation, the SDA line must be monitored for arbitration, to see if the signal level is the
expected output level. This check is performed in
hardware, with the result placed in the BCLIF bit.
The states where arbitration can be lost are:

MULTI -MASTER
COMMUNICATION, BUS COLLISION
AND BUS ARBITRATION
Multi-Master mode support is achieved by bus arbitration. When the master outputs address/data bits onto
the SDA pin, arbitration takes place when the master
outputs a '1' on SDA, by letting SDA float high and
another master asserts a '0'. When the SCL pin floats
high, data should be stable. If the expected data on
SDA is a '1' and the data sampled on the SDA pin = '0',
then a bus collision has taken place. The master will set
the Bus Collision Interrupt Flag BCLIF and reset the I2C
port to its IDLE state (Figure 17-25).
If a transmit was in progress when the bus collision
occurred, the transmission is halted, the BF flag is
cleared, the SDA and SCL lines are de-asserted, and
the SSPBUF can be written to. When the user services
the bus collision Interrupt Service Routine, and if the
I2C bus is free, the user can resume communication by
asserting a START condition.
If a START, Repeated START, STOP, or Acknowledge
condition was in progress when the bus collision
occurred, the condition is aborted, the SDA and SCL
lines are de-asserted, and the respective control bits in
the SSPCON2 register are cleared. When the user services the bus collision Interrupt Service Routine, and if
the I2C bus is free, the user can resume communication
by asserting a START condition.
The master will continue to monitor the SDA and SCL
pins. If a STOP condition occurs, the SSPIF bit will be set.
A write to the SSPBUF will start the transmission of
data at the first data bit, regardless of where the transmitter left off when the bus collision occurred.
In Multi-Master mode, the interrupt generation on the
detection of START and STOP conditions allows the
determination of when the bus is free. Control of the I2C
bus can be taken when the P bit is set in the SSPSTAT
register, or the bus is IDLE and the S and P bits are
cleared.

Bus Collision During a START
Condition
During a START condition, a bus collision occurs if:
a)
SDA or SCL are sampled low at the beginning of
the START condition (Figure 17-26).
SCL is sampled low before SDA is asserted low
(Figure 17-27).
b)
During a START condition, both the SDA and the SCL
pins are monitored.
If the SDA pin is sampled low during this count, the
BRG is reset and the SDA line is asserted early
(Figure 17-28). If, however, a '1' is sampled on the SDA
pin, the SDA pin is asserted low at the end of the BRG
count. The baud rate generator is then reloaded and
counts down to 0, and during this time, if the SCL pins
are sampled as '0', a bus collision does not occur. At
the end of the BRG count, the SCL pin is asserted low.
Note:
If the SDA pin is already low, or the SCL pin is already
low, then all of the following occur:
• the START condition is aborted,
• the BCLIF flag is set, and
• the MSSP module is reset to its IDLE state
(Figure 17-26).
The START condition begins with the SDA and SCL
pins de-asserted. When the SDA pin is sampled high,
the baud rate generator is loaded from SSPADD<6:0>
and counts down to 0. If the SCL pin is sampled low
while SDA is high, a bus collision occurs, because it is
assumed that another master is attempting to drive a
data '1' during the START condition.
FIGURE 17-26:
The reason that bus collision is not a factor
during a START condition is that no two
bus masters can assert a START condition
at the exact same time. Therefore, one
master will always assert SDA before the
other. This condition does not cause a bus
collision, because the two masters must be
allowed to arbitrate the first address following the START condition. If the address is
the same, arbitration must be allowed to
continue into the data portion, Repeated
START or STOP conditions.

low before the BRG times out, no bus collision occurs
because no two masters can assert SDA at exactly the
same time.
During a Repeated START condition, a bus collision
occurs if:
a)
b)
If SCL goes from high to low before the BRG times out
and SDA has not already been asserted, a bus collision
occurs. In this case, another master is attempting to
transmit a data ’1’ during the Repeated START
condition, Figure 17-30.
A low level is sampled on SDA when SCL goes
from low level to high level.
SCL goes low before SDA is asserted low, indicating that another master is attempting to
transmit a data ’1’.
If, at the end of the BRG time-out both SCL and SDA
are still high, the SDA pin is driven low and the BRG is
reloaded and begins counting. At the end of the count,
regardless of the status of the SCL pin, the SCL pin is
driven low and the Repeated START condition is
complete.
When the user de-asserts SDA and the pin is allowed
to float high, the BRG is loaded with SSPADD<6:0>
and counts down to 0. The SCL pin is then de-asserted,
and when sampled high, the SDA pin is sampled.
If SDA is low, a bus collision has occurred (i.e., another
master is attempting to transmit a data ’0’,
Figure 17-29). If SDA is sampled high, the BRG is

Bus Collision During a STOP
Condition
The STOP condition begins with SDA asserted low.
When SDA is sampled low, the SCL pin is allowed to
float. When the pin is sampled high (clock arbitration),
the baud rate generator is loaded with SSPADD<6:0>
and counts down to 0. After the BRG times out, SDA is
sampled. If SDA is sampled low, a bus collision has
occurred. This is due to another master attempting to
drive a data ’0’ (Figure 17-31). If the SCL pin is sampled
low before SDA is allowed to float high, a bus collision
occurs. This is another case of another master
attempting to drive a data ’0’ (Figure 17-32).
Bus collision occurs during a STOP condition if:
a)
b)
After the SDA pin has been de-asserted and
allowed to float high, SDA is sampled low after
the BRG has timed out.
After the SCL pin is de-asserted, SCL is sampled low before SDA goes high.

TRANSMITTER (USART)
The USART can be configured in the following modes:
• Asynchronous (full duplex)
• Synchronous - Master (half duplex)
• Synchronous - Slave (half duplex).
The SPEN (RCSTA register) and the TRISC<7> bits
have to be set and the TRISC<6> bit must be cleared,
in order to configure pins RC6/TX/CK and RC7/RX/DT
as the Universal Synchronous Asynchronous Receiver
Transmitter.
The Universal Synchronous Asynchronous Receiver
Transmitter (USART) module is one of the three serial
I/O modules incorporated into PIC18FXX8 devices.
(USART is also known as a Serial Communications
Interface or SCI.) The USART can be configured as a
full duplex asynchronous system that can communicate with peripheral devices, such as CRT terminals
and personal computers, or it can be configured as a
half duplex synchronous system that can communicate
with peripheral devices, such as A/D or D/A integrated
circuits, Serial EEPROMs, etc.

18.1
USART Baud Rate Generator
(BRG)
Example 18-1 shows the calculation of the baud rate
error for the following conditions:
The BRG supports both the Asynchronous and Synchronous modes of the USART. It is a dedicated 8-bit
baud rate generator. The SPBRG register controls the
period of a free running 8-bit timer. In Asynchronous
mode, bit BRGH (TXSTA register) also controls the
baud rate. In Synchronous mode, bit BRGH is ignored.
Table 18-1 shows the formula for computation of the
baud rate for different USART modes, which only apply
in Master mode (internal clock).
Given the desired baud rate and FOSC, the nearest
integer value for the SPBRG register can be calculated
using the formula in Table 18-1. From this, the error in
baud rate can be determined.
FOSC = 16 MHz
Desired Baud Rate = 9600
BRGH = 0
SYNC = 0
It may be advantageous to use the high baud rate
(BRGH = 1), even for slower baud clocks. This is
because the FOSC/(16(X + 1)) equation can reduce the
baud rate error in some cases.
Writing a new value to the SPBRG register causes the
BRG timer to be reset (or cleared). This ensures the
BRG does not wait for a timer overflow before
outputting the new baud rate.
18.1.1
SAMPLING
The data on the RC7/RX/DT pin is sampled three times
by a majority detect circuit to determine if a high or a
low level is present at the RX pin.
EXAMPLE 18-1:
CALCULATING BAUD RATE ERROR
Desired Baud Rate
= FOSC / (64 (X + 1))
Solving for X:
X
X
X
= ( (FOSC / Desired Baud Rate) / 64 ) - 1
= ((16000000 / 9600) / 64) - 1
= [25.042] = 25
Calculated Baud Rate
= 16000000 / (64 (25 + 1))
= 9615
Error
= (Calculated Baud Rate - Desired Baud Rate)
Desired Baud Rate
= (9615 - 9600) / 9600
= 0.16%

USART Asynchronous Mode
empty and flag bit TXIF (PIR registers) is set. This interrupt can be enabled/disabled by setting/clearing
enable bit TXIE (PIE registers). Flag bit TXIF will be
set, regardless of the state of enable bit TXIE and cannot be cleared in software. It will reset only when new
data is loaded into the TXREG register. While flag bit
TXIF indicated the status of the TXREG register,
another bit TRMT (TXSTA register) shows the status of
the TSR register. Status bit TRMT is a read only bit,
which is set when the TSR register is empty. No interrupt logic is tied to this bit, so the user has to poll this
bit in order to determine if the TSR register is empty.
In this mode, the USART uses standard non-return-tozero (NRZ) format (one START bit, eight or nine data
bits and one STOP bit). The most common data format
is 8 bits. An on-chip dedicated 8-bit baud rate generator
can be used to derive standard baud rate frequencies
from the oscillator. The USART transmits and receives
the LSb first. The USART’s transmitter and receiver are
functionally independent, but use the same data format
and baud rate. The baud rate generator produces a
clock, either x16 or x64 of the bit shift rate, depending
on the BRGH bit (TXSTA register). Parity is not supported by the hardware, but can be implemented in
software (and stored as the ninth data bit).
Asynchronous mode is stopped during SLEEP.
Note 1: The TSR register is not mapped in data
memory, so it is not available to the user.
2: Flag bit TXIF is set when enable bit TXEN
is set.
Asynchronous mode is selected by clearing the SYNC
bit (TXSTA register).
Steps to follow when setting up an Asynchronous
Transmission:
The USART Asynchronous module consists of the
following important elements:
•
•
•
•
1.
Baud Rate Generator
Sampling Circuit
Asynchronous Transmitter
Asynchronous Receiver.

2.

4.
USART ASYNCHRONOUS
TRANSMITTER
5.
The USART transmitter block diagram is shown in
Figure 18-1. The heart of the transmitter is the Transmit
(serial) Shift Register (TSR). The TSR register obtains
its data from the Read/Write Transmit Buffer register
(TXREG). The TXREG register is loaded with data in
software. The TSR register is not loaded until the STOP
bit has been transmitted from the previous load. As
soon as the STOP bit is transmitted, the TSR is loaded
with new data from the TXREG register (if available).
Once the TXREG register transfers the data to the TSR
register (occurs in one TCY), the TXREG register is
FIGURE 18-1:
Initialize the SPBRG register for the appropriate
baud rate. If a high speed baud rate is desired,
set bit BRGH (Section 18.1).
Enable the asynchronous serial port by clearing
bit SYNC and setting bit SPEN.
If interrupts are desired, set enable bit TXIE.
If 9-bit transmission is desired, set transmit bit
TX9. Can be used as address/data bit.
Enable the transmission by setting bit TXEN,
which will also set bit TXIF.
If 9-bit transmission is selected, the ninth bit
should be loaded in bit TX9D.
Load data to the TXREG register (starts
transmission).

7.
Note:
TXIF is not cleared immediately upon loading data into the transmit buffer TXREG. The
flag bit becomes valid in the second instruction cycle following the load instruction.

RECEIVER
18.2.3
The receiver block diagram is shown in Figure 18-4.
The data is received on the RC7/RX/DT pin and drives
the data recovery block. The data recovery block is
actually a high speed shifter, operating at x16 times the
baud rate, whereas the main receive serial shifter operates at the bit rate, or at FOSC. This mode would
typically be used in RS-232 systems.
This mode would typically be used in RS-485 systems.
Steps to follow when setting up an Asynchronous
Reception with Address Detect Enable:
1.
Initialize the SPBRG register for the appropriate
baud rate. If a high speed baud rate is required,
set the BRGH bit.
2. Enable the asynchronous serial port by clearing
the SYNC bit and setting the SPEN bit.
3. If interrupts are required, set the RCEN bit and
select the desired priority level with the RCIP bit.
4. Set the RX9 bit to enable 9-bit reception.
5. Set the ADDEN bit to enable address detect.
6. Enable reception by setting the CREN bit.
7. The RCIF bit will be set when reception is complete. The interrupt will be Acknowledged if the
RCIE and GIE bits are set.
8. Read the RCSTA register to determine if any
error occurred during reception, as well as read
bit 9 of data (if applicable).
9. Read RCREG to determine if the device is being
addressed.
10. If any error occurred, clear the CREN bit.
11. If the device has been addressed, clear the
ADDEN bit to allow all received data into the
receive buffer and interrupt the CPU.

USART Synchronous Master
Mode
(PIE registers). Flag bit TXIF will be set, regardless of
the state of enable bit TXIE and cannot be cleared in
software. It will reset only when new data is loaded into
the TXREG register. While flag bit TXIF indicates the
status of the TXREG register, another bit TRMT
(TXSTA register) shows the status of the TSR register.
TRMT is a read only bit, which is set when the TSR is
empty. No interrupt logic is tied to this bit, so the user
has to poll this bit in order to determine if the TSR register is empty. The TSR is not mapped in data memory,
so it is not available to the user.
In Synchronous Master mode, the data is transmitted in
a half-duplex manner (i.e., transmission and reception
do not occur at the same time). When transmitting data,
the reception is inhibited and vice versa. Synchronous
mode is entered by setting bit SYNC (TXSTA register).
In addition, enable bit SPEN (RCSTA register) is set, in
order to configure the RC6/TX/CK and RC7/RX/DT I/O
pins to CK (clock) and DT (data) lines, respectively. The
Master mode indicates that the processor transmits the
master clock on the CK line. The Master mode is
entered by setting bit CSRC (TXSTA register).
Steps to follow when setting up a Synchronous Master
Transmission:

18.3.1
USART SYNCHRONOUS MASTER
TRANSMISSION
2.
The USART transmitter block diagram is shown in
Figure 18-1. The heart of the transmitter is the Transmit
(serial) Shift register (TSR). The shift register obtains
its data from the Read/Write Transmit Buffer register
(TXREG). The TXREG register is loaded with data in
software. The TSR register is not loaded until the last
bit has been transmitted from the previous load. As
soon as the last bit is transmitted, the TSR is loaded
with new data from the TXREG (if available). Once the
TXREG register transfers the data to the TSR register
(occurs in one TCY), the TXREG is empty and interrupt
bit TXIF (PIR registers) is set. The interrupt can be
enabled/disabled by setting/clearing enable bit TXIE

USART SYNCHRONOUS MASTER
RECEPTION
Steps to follow when setting up a Synchronous Master
Reception:
1.
Initialize the SPBRG register for the appropriate
baud rate (Section 18.1).
2. Enable the synchronous master serial port by
setting bits SYNC, SPEN and CSRC.
3. Ensure bits CREN and SREN are clear.
4. If interrupts are desired, set enable bit RCIE.
5. If 9-bit reception is desired, set bit RX9.
6. If a single reception is required, set bit SREN.
For continuous reception, set bit CREN.
7. Interrupt flag bit RCIF will be set when reception
is complete and an interrupt will be generated if
the enable bit RCIE was set.
8. Read the RCSTA register to get the ninth bit (if
enabled) and determine if any error occurred
during reception.
9. Read the 8-bit received data by reading the
RCREG register.
10. If any error occurred, clear the error by clearing
bit CREN.
Once Synchronous Master mode is selected, reception
is enabled by setting either enable bit SREN (RCSTA
register), or enable bit CREN (RCSTA register). Data is
sampled on the RC7/RX/DT pin on the falling edge of
the clock. If enable bit SREN is set, only a single word
is received. If enable bit CREN is set, the reception is
continuous until CREN is cleared. If both bits are set,
then CREN takes precedence.

USART Synchronous Slave Mode
Synchronous Slave mode differs from the Master
mode, in that the shift clock is supplied externally at the
RC6/TX/CK pin (instead of being supplied internally in
Master mode). This allows the device to transfer or
receive data while in SLEEP mode. Slave mode is
entered by clearing bit CSRC (TXSTA register).
18.4.2
USART SYNCHRONOUS SLAVE
RECEPTION
The operation of the Synchronous Master and Slave
modes is identical, except in the case of the SLEEP
mode and bit SREN, which is a "don’t care" in Slave
mode.
The operation of the Synchronous Master and Slave
modes are identical, except in the case of the SLEEP
mode.
If receive is enabled by setting bit CREN prior to the
SLEEP instruction, then a word may be received during
SLEEP. On completely receiving the word, the RSR
register will transfer the data to the RCREG register,
and if enable bit RCIE bit is set, the interrupt generated
will wake the chip from SLEEP. If the global interrupt is
enabled, the program will branch to the interrupt vector.
If two words are written to the TXREG and then the
SLEEP instruction is executed, the following will occur:

The CAN bus module consists of a protocol engine and
message buffering and control. The CAN protocol
engine handles all functions for receiving and transmitting messages on the CAN bus. Messages are transmitted by first loading the appropriate data registers.
Status and errors can be checked by reading the
appropriate registers. Any message detected on the
CAN bus is checked for errors and then matched
against filters to see if it should be received and stored
in one of the 2 receive registers.
The CAN Module supports the following frame types:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Standard Data Frame
Extended Data Frame
Remote Frame
Error Frame
Overload Frame Reception
Interframe Space
CAN module uses RB3/CANRX and RB2/CANTX/INT2
pins to interface with CAN bus. In order to configure
CANRX and CANTX as CAN interface:
• bit TRISB<3> must be set;
• bit TRISB<2> must be cleared.

TRANSMIT/RECEIVE BUFFERS
The PIC18FXX8 has three transmit and two receive buffers, two acceptance masks (one for each receive
buffer), and a total of six acceptance filters. Figure 19-1
is a block diagram of these buffers and their connection
to the protocol engine.

CAN Module Registers
Not all CAN registers are available in the
access bank.
The registers described in this section control the overall operation of the CAN module and show its
operational status.
There are many control and data registers associated
with the CAN module. For convenience, their
descriptions have been grouped into the following
sections:
•

This selects which of the CAN buffers to switch into the access bank area. This allows access
to the buffer registers from any data memory bank. After a frame has caused an interrupt, the
ICODE3:ICODE0 bits can be copied to the WIN3:WIN0 bits to select the correct buffer. See
Example 19-1 for code example.

PIC18FXX8
19.3
CAN Modes of Operation
The PIC18FXX8 has six main modes of operation:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Configuration mode
Disable mode
Normal Operation mode
Listen Only mode
Loopback mode
Error Recognition mode
All modes except Error Recognition are requested by
setting the REQOP bits (CANCON<7:5>); Error Recognition is requested through the RXM bits of the Receive
Buffer register(s). Entry into a mode is acknowledged
by monitoring the OPMODE bits.
When changing modes, the mode will not actually
change until all pending message transmissions are
complete. Because of this, the user must verify that the
device has actually changed into the requested mode
before further operations are executed.
19.3.1
CONFIGURATION MODE
The CAN module has to be initialized before the activation. This is only possible if the module is in the Configuration mode. The Configuration mode is requested by
setting REQOP2 bit. Only when the status bit
OPMODE2 has a high level, can the initialization be
performed. Afterwards, the configuration registers, the
acceptance mask registers, and the acceptance filter
registers can be written. The module is activated by
setting the REQOP control bits to zero.
The module will protect the user from accidentally violating the CAN protocol through programming errors.
All registers which control the configuration of the module can not be modified while the module is on-line.
The CAN module will not be allowed to enter the Configuration mode while a transmission is taking place.
The CONFIG bit serves as a lock to protect the
following registers.
•
•
•
•
Configuration registers
Bus Timing registers
Identifier Acceptance Filter registers
Identifier Acceptance Mask registers
In the Configuration mode, the module will not transmit
or receive. The error counters are cleared and the interrupt flags remain unchanged. The programmer will
have access to configuration registers that are access
restricted in other modes.
19.3.2
If REQOP<2:0> is set to ‘001’, the module will enter the
Module Disable mode. This mode is similar to disabling
other peripheral modules by turning off the module
enables. This causes the module internal clock to stop
unless the module is active (i.e., receiving or transmitting a message). If the module is active, the module will
wait for 11 recessive bits on the CAN bus, detect that
condition as an idle bus, then accept the module
disable command. OPMODE<2:0> = ‘001’ indicates
whether the module successfully went into Module
Disable mode.
The WAKIF interrupt is the only module interrupt that is
still active in the Module Disable mode. If the WAKIE is
set, the processor will receive an interrupt whenever
the CAN bus detects a dominant state, as occurs with
a SOF.
The I/O pins will revert to normal I/O function when the
module is in the Module Disable mode.
19.3.3
NORMAL MODE
This is the standard operating mode of the PIC18FXX8.
In this mode, the device actively monitors all bus messages and generates Acknowledge bits, error frames,
etc. This is also the only mode in which the PIC18FXX8
will transmit messages over the CAN bus.
19.3.4
LISTEN ONLY MODE
Listen Only mode provides a means for the
PIC18FXX8 to receive all messages, including messages with errors. This mode can be used for bus monitor applications, or for detecting the baud rate in ‘hot
plugging’ situations. For auto-baud detection, it is necessary that there are at least two other nodes which are
communicating with each other. The baud rate can be
detected empirically by testing different values until
valid messages are received. The Listen Only mode is
a silent mode, meaning no messages will be transmitted while in this state, including error flags or Acknowledge signals. The filters and masks can be used to
allow only particular messages to be loaded into the
receive registers, or the filter masks can be set to all
zeros to allow a message with any identifier to pass.
The error counters are reset and deactivated in this
state. The Listen Only mode is activated by setting the
mode request bits in the CANCON register.
DISABLE MODE
In Disable mode, the module will not transmit or
receive. The module has the ability to set the WAKIF bit
due to bus activity, however, any pending interrupts will
remain and the error counters will retain their value.

19.3.5
LOOPBACK MODE
19.4.2
This mode will allow internal transmission of messages
from the transmit buffers to the receive buffers, without
actually transmitting messages on the CAN bus. This
mode can be used in system development and testing.
In this mode, the ACK bit is ignored and the device will
allow incoming messages from itself, just as if they
were coming from another node. The Loopback mode
is a silent mode, meaning no messages will be transmitted while in this state, including error flags or
Acknowledge signals. The TXCAN pin will revert to port
I/O while the device is in this mode. The filters and
masks can be used to allow only particular messages
to be loaded into the receive registers. The masks can
be set to all zeros to provide a mode that accepts all
messages. The Loopback mode is activated by setting
the mode request bits in the CANCON register.
19.3.6
19.4.1
Transmit priority is a prioritization within the PIC18FXX8
of the pending transmittable messages. This is independent from, and not related to, any prioritization implicit in
the message arbitration scheme built into the CAN protocol. Prior to sending the SOF, the priority of all buffers
that are queued for transmission is compared. The transmit buffer with the highest priority will be sent first. If two
buffers have the same priority setting, the buffer with the
highest buffer number will be sent first. There are four
levels of transmit priority. If TXP bits for a particular message buffer are set to 11, that buffer has the highest possible priority. If TXP bits for a particular message buffer
are 00, that buffer has the lowest possible priority.
FIGURE 19-2:
ERROR RECOGNITION MODE
The module can be set to ignore all errors and receive
any message. The Error Recognition mode is activated
by setting the RXM<1:0> bits in the RXBnCON registers to 11. In this mode, the data which is in the message assembly buffer until the error time, is copied in
the receive buffer and can be read via the CPU interface. In addition, the data which was on the internal
sampling of the CAN bus at the error time and the state
vector of the protocol state machine and the bit counter
CntCan, are stored in registers and can be read.

For the MCU to have write access to the message
buffer, the TXREQ bit must be clear, indicating that the
message buffer is clear of any pending message to be
transmitted. At a minimum, the TXBnSIDH, TXBnSIDL,
and TXBnDLC registers must be loaded. If data bytes
are present in the message, the TXBnDm registers
must also be loaded. If the message is to use extended
identifiers, the TXBnEIDm registers must also be
loaded and the EXIDE bit set.
Prior to sending the message, the MCU must initialize
the TXInE bit to enable or disable the generation of an
interrupt when the message is sent. The MCU must
also initialize the TXP priority bits (see Section 19.4.2).

19.4.3
INITIATING TRANSMISSION
19.4.4
To initiate message transmission, the TXREQ bit must
be set for each buffer to be transmitted. When TXREQ
is set, the TXABT, TXLARB and TXERR bits will be
cleared.
Setting the TXREQ bit does not initiate a message
transmission, it merely flags a message buffer as ready
for transmission. Transmission will start when the
device detects that the bus is available. The device will
then begin transmission of the highest priority message
that is ready.
When the transmission has completed successfully, the
TXREQ bit will be cleared, the TXBnIF bit will be set, and
an interrupt will be generated if the TXBnIE bit is set.
If the message transmission fails, the TXREQ will remain
set, indicating that the message is still pending for transmission and one of the following condition flags will be
set. If the message started to transmit but encountered
an error condition, the TXERR and the IRXIF bits will be
set and an interrupt will be generated. If the message lost
arbitration, the TXLARB bit will be set.
DS41159B-page 224
ABORTING TRANSMISSION
The MCU can request to abort a message by clearing
the TXREQ bit associated with the corresponding message buffer (TXBnCON<3>). Setting the ABAT bit
(CANCON<4>) will request an abort of all pending messages. If the message has not yet started transmission,
or if the message started but is interrupted by loss of
arbitration or an error, the abort will be processed. The
abort is indicated when the module sets the ABT bits for
the corresponding buffer (TXBnCON<6>). If the message has started to transmit, it will attempt to transmit the
current message fully. If the current message is transmitted fully and is not lost to arbitration or an error, the ABT
bit will not be set, because the message was transmitted
successfully. Likewise, if a message is being transmitted
during an abort request and the message is lost to arbitration or an error, the message will not be retransmitted
and the ABT bit will be set, indicating that the message
was successfully aborted.

19.5
19.5.1
Message Reception
RECEIVE MESSAGE BUFFERING
The PIC18FXX8 includes two full receive buffers with
multiple acceptance filters for each. There is also a
separate Message Assembly Buffer (MAB), which acts
as a third receive buffer (see Figure 19-4).
19.5.2
RECEIVE BUFFERS
Of the three receive buffers, the MAB is always committed to receiving the next message from the bus. The
remaining two receive buffers are called RXB0 and
RXB1 and can receive a complete message from the
protocol engine. The MCU can access one buffer while
the other buffer is available for message reception, or
holding a previously received message.
The MAB assembles all messages received. These
messages will be transferred to the RXBn buffers, only
if the acceptance filter criteria are met.
Note:
The entire contents of the MAB are moved
into the receive buffer once a message is
accepted. This means that, regardless of
the type of identifier (standard or extended)
and the number of data bytes received, the
entire receive buffer is overwritten with the
MAB contents. Therefore, the contents of
all registers in the buffer must be assumed
to have been modified when any message
is received.
When a message is moved into either of the receive
buffers, the appropriate RXBnIF bit is set. This bit must
be cleared by the MCU when it has completed processing the message in the buffer, in order to allow a new
message to be received into the buffer. This bit provides a positive lockout to ensure that the MCU has finished with the message before the PIC18FXX8
attempts to load a new message into the receive buffer.
If the RXBnIE bit is set, an interrupt will be generated to
indicate that a valid message has been received.
19.5.3
The RXM bits set special Receive modes. Normally,
these bits are set to ‘00’ to enable reception of all valid
messages, as determined by the appropriate acceptance filters. In this case, the determination of whether
or not to receive standard or extended messages is
determined by the EXIDE bit in the acceptance filter
register. If the RXM bits are set to ‘01’ or ‘10’, the
receiver will accept only messages with standard or
extended identifiers, respectively. If an acceptance filter has the EXIDE bit set, such that it does not correspond with the RXM mode, that acceptance filter is
rendered useless. These two modes of RXM bits can
be used in systems where it is known that only standard
or extended messages will be on the bus. If the RXM
bits are set to ‘11’, the buffer will receive all messages,
regardless of the values of the acceptance filters. Also,
if a message has an error before the end of frame, that
portion of the message assembled in the MAB before
the error frame, will be loaded into the buffer. This
mode has some value in debugging a CAN system and
would not be used in an actual system environment.
19.5.4
TIME-STAMPING
The CAN module can be programmed to generate a
time-stamp for every message that is received. When
enabled, the module generates a capture signal for
CCP1, which in turns captures the value of either
Timer1 or Timer3. This value can be used as the
message time-stamp.
To use the time-stamp capability, the CANCAP bit
(CIOCAN<4>) must be set. This replaces the capture
input for CCP1 with the signal generated from the CAN
module. In addition, CCP1CON<3:0> must be set to
‘0011’ to enable the CCP special event trigger for CAN
events.
FIGURE 19-4:
RECEIVE BUFFER BLOCK
DIAGRAM
Accept Acceptance Mask
RXM1
RECEIVE PRIORITY
RXB0 is the higher priority buffer and has two message
acceptance filters associated with it. RXB1 is the lower
priority buffer and has four acceptance filters associated with it. The lower number of acceptance filters
makes the match on RXB0 more restrictive and implies
a higher priority for that buffer. Additionally, the
RXB0CON register can be configured such that if
RXB0 contains a valid message and another valid message is received, an overflow error will not occur and
the new message will be moved into RXB1, regardless
of the acceptance criteria of RXB1. There are also two
programmable acceptance filter masks available, one
for each receive buffer (see Section 4.5).
When a message is received, bits <3:0> of the
RXBnCON register will indicate the acceptance filter
number that enabled reception and whether the
received message is a remote transfer request.

Message Acceptance Filters and
Masks
The Message Acceptance Filters and Masks are used
to determine if a message in the message assembly
buffer should be loaded into either of the receive buffers. Once a valid message has been received into the
MAB, the identifier fields of the message are compared
to the filter values. If there is a match, that message will
be loaded into the appropriate receive buffer. The filter
masks are used to determine which bits in the identifier
are examined with the filters. A truth table is shown
below in Table 19-2 that indicates how each bit in the
identifier is compared to the masks and filters to determine if a message should be loaded into a receive
buffer. The mask, essentially determines which bits to
apply the acceptance filters to. If any mask bit is set to
a zero, then that bit will automatically be accepted,
regardless of the filter bit.

As shown in the Receive Buffers Block Diagram
(Figure 19-4), acceptance filters RXF0 and RXF1, and
filter mask RXM0 are associated with RXB0. Filters
RXF2, RXF3, RXF4, and RXF5 and mask RXM1 are
associated with RXB1. When a filter matches and a
message is loaded into the receive buffer, the filter number that enabled the message reception is loaded into
the FILHIT bit(s).
FIGURE 19-6:
For RXB1, the RXB1CON register contains the
FILHIT<2:0> bits. They are coded as follows:
•
•
•
•
•
•
101 = Acceptance Filter 5 (RXF5)
100 = Acceptance Filter 4 (RXF4)
011 = Acceptance Filter 3 (RXF3)
010 = Acceptance Filter 2 (RXF2)
001 = Acceptance Filter 1 (RXF1)
000 = Acceptance Filter 0 (RXF0)
Note:
000 and 001 can only occur if the
RXB0DBEN bit is set in the RXB0CON
register, allowing RXB0 messages to
rollover into RXB1.
The coding of the RXB0DBEN bit enables these three
bits to be used similarly to the FILHIT bits and to distinguish a hit on filter RXF0 and RXF1, in either RXB0, or
after a rollover into RXB1.
•
•
•
•
111 = Acceptance Filter 1 (RXF1)
110 = Acceptance Filter 0 (RXF0)
001 = Acceptance Filter 1 (RXF1)
000 = Acceptance Filter 0
If the RXB0DBEN bit is clear, there are six codes corresponding to the six filters. If the RXB0DBEN bit is set,
there are six codes corresponding to the six filters, plus
two additional codes corresponding to RXF0 and RXF1
filters that rollover into RXB1.
If more than one acceptance filter matches, the FILHIT
bits will encode the binary value of the lowest numbered filter that matched. In other words, if filter RXF2
and filter RXF4 match, FILHIT will be loaded with the
value for RXF2. This essentially prioritizes the acceptance filters with a lower number filter having higher priority. Messages are compared to filters in ascending
order of filter number.
The mask and filter registers can only be modified
when the PIC18FXX8 is in Configuration mode. The
mask and filter registers cannot be read outside of Configuration mode. When outside of Configuration mode,
all mask and filter registers will be read as ‘0’.

Baud Rate Setting
The Nominal Bit Time is defined as
All nodes on a given CAN bus must have the same
nominal bit rate. The CAN protocol uses Non-Returnto-Zero (NRZ) coding, which does not encode a clock
within the data stream. Therefore, the receive clock
must be recovered by the receiving nodes and
synchronized to the transmitters clock.
As oscillators and transmission time may vary from
node to node; the receiver must have some type of
Phase Lock Loop (PLL) synchronized to data transmission edges to synchronize and maintain the receiver
clock. Since the data is NRZ coded, it is necessary to
include bit stuffing to ensure that an edge occurs at
least every six bit times, to maintain the Digital Phase
Lock Loop (DPLL) synchronization.
The bit timing of the PIC18FXX8 is implemented using
a DPLL that is configured to synchronize to the incoming data, and provides the nominal timing for the transmitted data. The DPLL breaks each bit time into
multiple segments, made up of minimal periods of time
called the Time Quanta (TQ).
Bus timing functions executed within the bit time frame,
such as synchronization to the local oscillator, network
transmission delay compensation, and sample point
positioning, are defined by the programmable bit timing
logic of the DPLL.
All devices on the CAN bus must use the same bit rate.
However, all devices are not required to have the same
master oscillator clock frequency. For the different clock
frequencies of the individual devices, the bit rate has to
be adjusted by appropriately setting the baud rate
prescaler and number of time quanta in each segment.
The Nominal Bit Rate is the number of bits transmitted
per second, assuming an ideal transmitter with an ideal
oscillator, in the absence of resynchronization. The
nominal bit rate is defined to be a maximum of 1 Mb/s.
FIGURE 19-7:
TBIT = 1 / Nominal Bit rate
The Nominal Bit Time can be thought of as being
divided into separate, non-overlapping time segments.
These segments (Figure 19-7) include:
•
•
•
•
Synchronization Segment (Sync_Seg)
Propagation Time Segment (Prop_Seg)
Phase Buffer Segment 1 (Phase_Seg1)
Phase Buffer Segment 2 (Phase_Seg2)
The time segments (and thus the Nominal Bit Time) are
in turn made up of integer units of time called Time
Quanta or TQ (see Figure 19-7). By definition, the nominal bit time is programmable from a minimum of 8 TQ
to a maximum of 25 TQ. Also, by definition, the minimum Nominal Bit Time is 1 µs, corresponding to a maximum 1 Mb/s rate. The actual duration is given by the
relationship
Nominal Bit Time = TQ * (Sync_Seg + Prop_Seg +
Phase_Seg1 + Phase_Seg2)
The Time Quantum is a fixed unit derived from the
oscillator period. It is also defined by the programmable
baud rate prescaler with integer values from 1 to 64, in
addition to a fixed divide-by-two for clock generation.
Mathematically, this is
TQ (µs) = (2 * (BRP+1)) / FOSC (MHz)
or
TQ (µs) = (2 * (BRP+1)) * TOSC (µs)
where FOSC is the clock frequency, TOSC is the corresponding oscillator period, and BRP is an integer (0
through 63) represented by the binary values of
BRGCON1<5:0>.

EXAMPLE 19-2:
CALCULATING TQ,
NOMINAL BIT RATE AND
NOMINAL BIT TIME
PROPAGATION SEGMENT
This part of the bit time is used to compensate for physical delay times within the network. These delay times
consist of the signal propagation time on the bus line
and the internal delay time of the nodes. The length of
the Propagation Segment can be programmed from
1 TQ to 8 TQ by setting the PRSEG2:PRSEG0 bits.
19.7.4
PHASE BUFFER SEGMENTS
The Phase Buffer Segments are used to optimally
locate the sampling point of the received bit, within the
nominal bit time. The sampling point occurs between
phase segment 1 and phase segment 2. These segments can be lengthened or shortened by the resynchronization process. The end of phase segment 1
determines the sampling point within a bit time. Phase
segment 1 is programmable from 1 TQ to 8 TQ in duration. Phase segment 2 provides delay before the next
transmitted data transition and is also programmable
from 1 TQ to 8 TQ in duration. However, due to IPT
requirements, the actual minimum length of phase segment 2 is 2 TQ, or it may be defined to be equal to the
greater of phase segment 1 or the Information
Processing Time (IPT).
TQ (µs) = (2 * (BRP+1)) / FOSC (MHz)
TBIT (µs) = TQ (µs) * number of TQ per bit interval
Nominal Bit Rate (bits/s) = 1 / TBIT
CASE 1:
For FOSC = 16 MHz, BRP<5:0> = 00h, and
Nominal Bit Time = 8 TQ:
TQ = (2*1) / 16 = 0.125 µs (125 ns)
TBIT = 8 * 0.125 = 1 µs (10-6 s)
Nominal Bit Rate = 1 / 10-6 = 106 bits/s (1 Mb/s)
CASE 2:
19.7.5
For FOSC = 20 MHz, BRP<5:0> = 01h, and
Nominal Bit Time = 8 TQ:
TQ = (2*2) / 20 = 0.2 µs (200 ns)
TBIT = 8 * 0.2 = 1.6 µs (1.6 * 10-6 S)
Nominal Bit Rate = 1 / 1.6 * 10-6 s = 625,000 bits/s
(625 Kb/s)
CASE 3:
For FOSC = 25 MHz, BRP<5:0> = 3Fh, and
Nominal Bit Time = 25 TQ:
TBIT = 25 * 5.12 = 128 µs (1.28 * 10-4 s)
-4
Nominal Bit Rate = 1 / 1.28 * 10 = 7813 bits/s
(7.8 Kb/s)
The frequencies of the oscillators in the different nodes
must be coordinated in order to provide a system wide
specified nominal bit time. This means that all oscillators must have a TOSC that is an integral divisor of TQ.
It should also be noted that although the number of TQ
is programmable from 4 to 25, the usable minimum is
8 TQ. A bit time of less than 8 TQ in length is not
guaranteed to operate correctly.
19.7.2
The Sample Point is the point of time at which the bus
level is read and the value of the received bit is determined. The sampling point occurs at the end of phase
segment 1. If the bit timing is slow and contains many
TQ, it is possible to specify multiple sampling of the bus
line at the sample point. The value of the received bit is
determined to be the value of the majority decision of
three values. The three samples are taken at the sample point, and twice before, with a time of TQ/2 between
each sample.
19.7.6
TQ = (2*64) / 25 = 5.12 µs
SAMPLE POINT
INFORMATION PROCESSING TIME
The Information Processing Time (IPT) is the time segment, starting at the sample point that is reserved for
calculation of the subsequent bit level. The CAN specification defines this time to be less than or equal to
2 TQ. The PIC18FXX8 defines this time to be 2 TQ.
Thus, phase segment 2 must be at least 2 TQ long.
SYNCHRONIZATION SEGMENT
This part of the bit time is used to synchronize the various CAN nodes on the bus. The edge of the input signal is expected to occur during the sync segment. The
duration is 1 TQ.

19.8
Synchronization
To compensate for phase shifts between the oscillator
frequencies of each of the nodes on the bus, each CAN
controller must be able to synchronize to the relevant
signal edge of the incoming signal. When an edge in
the transmitted data is detected, the logic will compare
the location of the edge to the expected time (Sync
Seg). The circuit will then adjust the values of phase
segment 1 and phase segment 2, as necessary. There
are two mechanisms used for synchronization.
19.8.1
HARD SYNCHRONIZATION
Hard synchronization is only done when there is a
recessive to dominant edge during a BUS IDLE condition, indicating the start of a message. After hard synchronization, the bit time counters are restarted with
Sync Seg. Hard synchronization forces the edge which
has occurred to lie within the synchronization segment
of the restarted bit time. Due to the rules of synchronization, if a hard synchronization occurs, there will not
be a resynchronization within that bit time.
19.8.2
RESYNCHRONIZATION
As a result of resynchronization, phase segment 1 may
be lengthened, or phase segment 2 may be shortened.
The amount of lengthening or shortening of the phase
buffer segments has an upper bound given by the Synchronization Jump Width (SJW). The value of the SJW
will be added to phase segment 1 (see Figure 19-8), or
subtracted from phase segment 2 (see Figure 19-9).
The SJW is programmable between 1 TQ and 4 TQ.
Clocking information will only be derived from recessive to dominant transitions. The property, that only a
fixed maximum number of successive bits have the
same value, ensures resynchronization to the bit
stream during a frame.
FIGURE 19-8:
The phase error of an edge is given by the position of
the edge relative to Sync Seg, measured in TQ. The
phase error is defined in magnitude of TQ as follows:
• e = 0 if the edge lies within SYNCESEG.
• e > 0 if the edge lies before the SAMPLE POINT.
• e < 0 if the edge lies after the SAMPLE POINT of
the previous bit
If the magnitude of the phase error is less than, or equal
to, the programmed value of the synchronization jump
width, the effect of a resynchronization is the same as
that of a hard synchronization.
If the magnitude of the phase error is larger than the
synchronization jump width, and if the phase error is
positive, then phase segment 1 is lengthened by an
amount equal to the synchronization jump width.
If the magnitude of the phase error is larger than the
resynchronization jump width, and if the phase error is
negative, then phase segment 2 is shortened by an
amount equal to the synchronization jump width.
19.8.3
SYNCHRONIZATION RULES
• Only one synchronization within one bit time is
allowed.
• An edge will be used for synchronization only if
the value detected at the previous sample point
(previously read bus value) differs from the bus
value immediately after the edge.
• All other recessive to dominant edges fulfilling
rules 1 and 2, will be used for resynchronization,
with the exception that a node transmitting a dominant bit will not perform a resynchronization as a
result of a recessive to dominant edge with a
positive phase error.

Programming Time Segments
19.11.1
Some requirements for programming of the time
segments:
• Prop Seg + Phase Seg 1 ≥ Phase Seg 2
• Phase Seg 2 ≥ Sync Jump Width.
The BRP bits control the baud rate prescaler. The
SJW<1:0> bits select the synchronization jump width in
terms of multiples of TQ.
19.11.2
For example, assume that a 125 kHz CAN baud rate is
desired, using 20 MHz for FOSC. With a TOSC of 50 ns,
a baud rate prescaler value of 04h gives a TQ of 500 ns.
To obtain a Nominal Bit Rate of 125 kHz, the Nominal
Bit Time must be 8 µs, or 16 TQ.
Using 1 TQ for the Sync Segment, 2 TQ for the Propagation Segment and 7 TQ for Phase Segment 1 would
place the sample point at 10 TQ after the transition.
This leaves 6 TQ for Phase Segment 2.
By the rules above, the Sync Jump Width could be the
maximum of 4 TQ. However, normally a large SJW is
only necessary when the clock generation of the different nodes is inaccurate or unstable, such as using
ceramic resonators. Typically, an SJW of 1 is enough.
19.10 Oscillator Tolerance
As a rule of thumb, the bit timing requirements allow
ceramic resonators to be used in applications with
transmission rates of up to 125 Kbit/sec. For the full bus
speed range of the CAN protocol, a quartz oscillator is
required. A maximum node-to-node oscillator variation
of 1.7% is allowed.
19.11 Bit Timing Configuration
Registers
BRGCON1
BRGCON2
The PRSEG bits set the length of the propagation segment in terms of TQ. The SEG1PH bits set the length of
phase segment 1 in TQ. The SAM bit controls how
many times the RXCAN pin is sampled. Setting this bit
to a ‘1’ causes the bus to be sampled three times; twice
at TQ/2 before the sample point, and once at the normal
sample point (which is at the end of phase segment 1).
The value of the bus is determined to be the value read
during at least two of the samples. If the SAM bit is set
to a ‘0’, then the RXCAN pin is sampled only once at
the sample point. The SEG2PHTS bit controls how the
length of phase segment 2 is determined. If this bit is
set to a ‘1’, then the length of phase segment 2 is determined by the SEG2PH bits of BRGCON3. If the
SEG2PHTS bit is set to a ‘0’, then the length of phase
segment 2 is the greater of phase segment 1 and the
information processing time (which is fixed at 2 TQ for
the PIC18FXX8).
19.11.3
BRGCON3
The PHSEG2<2:0> bits set the length (in TQ) of phase
segment 2, if the SEG2PHTS bit is set to a ‘1’. If the
SEG2PHTS bit is set to a ‘0’, then the PHSEG2<2:0>
bits have no effect.
The configuration registers (BRGCON1, BRGCON2,
BRGCON3) control the bit timing for the CAN bus interface. These registers can only be modified when the
PIC18FXX8 is in Configuration mode.

19.12 Error Detection
19.12.6
The CAN protocol provides sophisticated error detection
mechanisms. The following errors can be detected.
Detected errors are made public to all other nodes via
error frames. The transmission of the erroneous message is aborted and the frame is repeated as soon as
possible. Furthermore, each CAN node is in one of the
three error states “error-active”, “error-passive” or “busoff” according to the value of the internal error counters.
The error-active state is the usual state, where the bus
node can transmit messages and activate error frames
(made of dominant bits), without any restrictions. In the
error-passive state, messages and passive error
frames (made of recessive bits) may be transmitted.
The bus-off state makes it temporarily impossible for
the station to participate in the bus communication.
During this state, messages can neither be received
nor transmitted.
19.12.1
CRC ERROR
With the Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC), the transmitter calculates special check bits for the bit
sequence, from the start of a frame until the end of the
data field. This CRC sequence is transmitted in the
CRC field. The receiving node also calculates the CRC
sequence using the same formula and performs a comparison to the received sequence. If a mismatch is
detected, a CRC error has occurred and an error frame
is generated. The message is repeated.
19.12.2
ACKNOWLEDGE ERROR
In the Acknowledge field of a message, the transmitter
checks if the Acknowledge slot (which was sent out as
a recessive bit) contains a dominant bit. If not, no other
node has received the frame correctly. An Acknowledge Error has occurred; an error frame is generated
and the message will have to be repeated.
19.12.3
FORM ERROR
lf a node detects a dominant bit in one of the four segments, including end of frame, interframe space,
Acknowledge delimiter, or CRC delimiter, then a Form
Error has occurred and an error frame is generated.
The message is repeated.
19.12.4
BIT ERROR
A Bit Error occurs if a transmitter sends a dominant bit
and detects a recessive bit, or if it sends a recessive bit
and detects a dominant bit, when monitoring the actual
bus level and comparing it to the just transmitted bit. In
the case where the transmitter sends a recessive bit
and a dominant bit is detected during the arbitration
field and the Acknowledge slot, no bit error is
generated because normal arbitration is occurring.
19.12.5
STUFF BIT ERROR
lf, between the start of frame and the CRC delimiter, six
consecutive bits with the same polarity are detected,
the bit stuffing rule has been violated. A Stuff Bit Error
occurs and an error frame is generated. The message
is repeated.
 2002 Microchip Technology Inc.
19.12.7
ERROR STATES
ERROR MODES AND ERROR
COUNTERS
The PIC18FXX8 contains two error counters: the
Receive Error Counter (RXERRCNT), and the Transmit Error Counter (TXERRCNT). The values of both
counters can be read by the MCU. These counters are
incremented or decremented in accordance with the
CAN bus specification.
The PIC18FXX8 is error-active if both error counters
are below the error-passive limit of 128. It is errorpassive if at least one of the error counters equals or
exceeds 128. It goes to bus-off if the transmit error
counter equals or exceeds the bus-off limit of 256. The
device remains in this state until the bus-off recovery
sequence is received. The bus-off recovery sequence
consists of 128 occurrences of 11 consecutive recessive bits (see Figure 19-10). Note that the CAN module, after going bus-off, will recover back to error-active
without any intervention by the MCU, if the bus remains
IDLE for 128 X 11 bit times. If this is not desired, the
error Interrupt Service Routine should address this.
The current Error mode of the CAN module can be read
by the MCU via the COMSTAT register.
Additionally, there is an error state warning flag bit,
EWARN, which is set if at least one of the error
counters equals or exceeds the error warning limit of
96. EWARN is reset if both error counters are less than
the error warning limit.

19.13 CAN Interrupts
19.13.1
The module has several sources of interrupts. Each of
these interrupts can be individually enabled or disabled. The CANINTF register contains interrupt flags.
The CANINTE register contains the enables for the 8
main interrupts. A special set of read only bits in the
CANSTAT register, the ICODE bits, can be used in
combination with a jump table for efficient handling of
interrupts.
The source of a pending interrupt is indicated in the
ICODE (interrupt code) bits of the CANSTAT register
(ICOD<2:0>). Interrupts are internally prioritized such
that the higher priority interrupts are assigned lower
ICODE values. Once the highest priority interrupt condition has been cleared, the code for the next highest
priority interrupt that is pending (if any), will be reflected
by the ICODE bits (see Table 19-3, following page).
Note that only those interrupt sources that have their
associated CANINTE enable bit set will be reflected in
the ICODE bits.
All interrupts have one source, with the exception of the
Error Interrupt. Any of the Error Interrupt sources can set
the Error Interrupt Flag. The source of the Error Interrupt
can be determined by reading the Communication
Status register, COMSTAT.
The interrupts can be broken up into two categories:
receive and transmit interrupts.
The receive related interrupts are:
•
•
•
•
•
Receive Interrupts
Wake-up Interrupt
Receiver Overrun Interrupt
Receiver Warning Interrupt
Receiver Error-Passive Interrupt
The transmit related interrupts are:
•
•
•

Transmit Interrupts

Transmitter Error-Passive Interrupt

INTERRUPT CODE BITS
TRANSMIT INTERRUPT
When the Transmit Interrupt is enabled, an interrupt will
be generated when the associated transmit buffer
becomes empty and is ready to be loaded with a new
message. The TXBnIF bit will be set to indicate the
source of the interrupt. The interrupt is cleared by the
MCU resetting the TXBnIF bit to a ‘0’.
19.13.3
RECEIVE INTERRUPT
When the Receive Interrupt is enabled, an interrupt will
be generated when a message has been successfully
received and loaded into the associated receive buffer.
This interrupt is activated immediately after receiving
the EOF field. The RXBnIF bit will be set to indicate the
source of the interrupt. The interrupt is cleared by the
MCU resetting the RXBnIF bit to a ‘0’.

MESSAGE ERROR INTERRUPT
When an error occurs during transmission or reception
of a message, the message error flag IRXIF will be set
and if the IRXIE bit is set, an interrupt will be generated.
This is intended to be used to facilitate baud rate determination when used in conjunction with Listen Only
mode.

long as one of the flags is set. Once an interrupt flag is

On any device RESET, the port pins that are multiplexed with analog functions (ANx)
are forced to be analog inputs.

The analog reference voltage is software selectable to
either the device’s positive and negative supply voltage
(VDD and VSS), or the voltage level on the
RA3/AN3/VREF+ pin and RA2/AN2/VREF- pin.
The A/D converter has a unique feature of being able
to operate while the device is in SLEEP mode. To operate in SLEEP, the A/D conversion clock must be
derived from the A/D’s internal RC oscillator.
The output of the sample and hold is the input into the
converter, which generates the result via successive
approximation.
FIGURE 20-1:
A device RESET forces all registers to their RESET
state. This forces the A/D module to be turned off and
any conversion is aborted.
Each port pin associated with the A/D converter can be
configured as an analog input (RA3 can also be a
voltage reference), or as a digital I/O.
The ADRESH and ADRESL registers contain the result
of the A/D conversion. When the A/D conversion is complete, the result is loaded into the ADRESH/ADRESL
registers, the GO/DONE bit (ADCON0<2>) is cleared,
and A/D interrupt flag bit, ADIF, is set. The block
diagram of the A/D module is shown in Figure 20-1.

After the A/D module has been configured as desired,
the selected channel must be acquired before the conversion is started. The analog input channels must
have their corresponding TRIS bits selected as an
input. To determine acquisition time, see Section 20.1.
After this acquisition time has elapsed, the A/D conversion can be started. The following steps should be followed for doing an A/D conversion:
1.

Read A/D Result registers (ADRESH/ADRESL);
clear bit ADIF if required.
For next conversion, go to step 1 or step 2, as
required. The A/D conversion time per bit is
defined as TAD. A minimum wait of 2 TAD is
required before next acquisition starts.
20.1
A/D Acquisition Requirements
For the A/D converter to meet its specified accuracy,
the charge holding capacitor (CHOLD) must be allowed
to fully charge to the input channel voltage level. The
analog input model is shown in Figure 20-2. The
source impedance (RS) and the internal sampling
switch (RSS) impedance directly affect the time
required to charge the capacitor CHOLD. The sampling
switch (RSS) impedance varies over the device voltage
(VDD). The source impedance affects the offset voltage
at the analog input (due to pin leakage current). The
maximum recommended impedance for analog
sources is 2.5 kΩ. After the analog input channel is
selected (changed), this acquisition must be done
before the conversion can be started.
Configure the A/D module:
• Configure analog pins, voltage reference and
digital I/O (ADCON1)
• Select A/D input channel (ADCON0)
• Select A/D conversion clock (ADCON0)
• Turn on A/D module (ADCON0)
Configure A/D interrupt (if desired):
• Clear ADIF bit
• Set ADIE bit
• Set GIE bit
Wait the required acquisition time.
Start conversion:
• Set GO/DONE bit (ADCON0)
Wait for A/D conversion to complete, by either:
• Polling for the GO/DONE bit to be cleared
Note:
When the conversion is started, the holding capacitor is disconnected from the
input pin.
OR
• Waiting for the A/D interrupt

To calculate the minimum acquisition time,
Equation 20-1 may be used. This equation assumes
that 1/2 LSb error is used (1024 steps for the A/D). The
1/2 LSb error is the maximum error allowed for the A/D
to meet its specified resolution.

Selecting the A/D Conversion Clock
The A/D conversion time per bit is defined as TAD. The
A/D conversion requires 12 TAD per 10-bit conversion.
The source of the A/D conversion clock is software
selectable. The seven possible options for TAD are:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
2 TOSC
4 TOSC
8 TOSC
16 TOSC
32 TOSC
64 TOSC
Internal RC oscillator.
20.3
Configuring Analog Port Pins
The ADCON1, TRISA and TRISE registers control the
operation of the A/D port pins. The port pins that are
desired as analog inputs must have their corresponding
TRIS bits set (input). If the TRIS bit is cleared (output),
the digital output level (VOH or VOL) will be converted.
The A/D operation is independent of the state of the
CHS2:CHS0 bits and the TRIS bits.
For correct A/D conversions, the A/D conversion clock
(TAD) must be selected to ensure a minimum TAD time
of 1.6 µs.
Note 1: When reading the port register, all pins configured as analog input channels will read
as cleared (a low level). Pins configured as
digital inputs will convert an analog input.
Analog levels on a digitally configured input
will not affect the conversion accuracy.
2: Analog levels on any pin that is defined as
a digital input (including the AN4:AN0
pins) may cause the input buffer to consume current that is out of the devices
specification.
Table 20-1 shows the resultant TAD times derived from
the device operating frequencies and the A/D clock
source selected.

A/D Conversions
20.5
Figure 20-3 shows the operation of the A/D converter
after the GO bit has been set. Clearing the GO/DONE
bit during a conversion will abort the current conversion. The A/D result register pair will NOT be updated
with the partially completed A/D conversion sample.
That is, the ADRESH:ADRESL registers will continue
to contain the value of the last completed conversion
(or the last value written to the ADRESH:ADRESL registers). After the A/D conversion is aborted, a 2 TAD wait
is required before the next acquisition is started. After
this 2 TAD wait, acquisition on the selected channel is
automatically started.
Note:
An A/D conversion can be started by the “special event
trigger” of the ECCP module. This requires that the
ECCP1M3:ECCP1M0 bits (ECCP1CON<3:0>) be programmed as 1011 and that the A/D module is enabled
(ADON bit is set). When the trigger occurs, the
GO/DONE bit will be set, starting the A/D conversion and
the Timer1 (or Timer3) counter will be reset to zero.
Timer1 (or Timer3) is reset to automatically repeat the
A/D acquisition period with minimal software overhead
(moving ADRESH/ADRESL to the desired location). The
appropriate analog input channel must be selected and
the minimum acquisition done before the “special event
trigger” sets the GO/DONE bit (starts a conversion).
The GO/DONE bit should NOT be set in
the same instruction that turns on the A/D.
FIGURE 20-3:
Use of the ECCP Trigger
If the A/D module is not enabled (ADON is cleared), the
“special event trigger” will be ignored by the A/D module,
but will still reset the Timer1 (or Timer3) counter.

Comparator Operation
A single comparator is shown in Figure 21-2 along with
the relationship between the analog input levels and
the digital output. When the analog input at VIN+ is less
than the analog input VIN-, the output of the comparator
is a digital low level. When the analog input at VIN+ is
greater than the analog input VIN-, the output of the
comparator is a digital high level. The shaded areas of
the output of the comparator in Figure 21-2 represent
the uncertainty due to input offsets and response time.
21.3
Comparator Reference
An external or internal reference signal may be used
depending on the Comparator Operating mode. The
analog signal present at VIN- is compared to the signal
at VIN+, and the digital output of the comparator is
adjusted accordingly (Figure 21-2).
FIGURE 21-2:
VIN+
VIN-
SINGLE COMPARATOR
+
-
The comparator module also allows the selection of an
internally generated voltage reference for the comparators. Section 22.0 contains a detailed description of the
Comparator Voltage Reference Module that provides
this signal. The internal reference signal is used when
comparators are in mode CM<2:0> = 110 (Figure 21-1).
In this mode, the internal voltage reference is applied to
the VIN+ pin of both comparators.
21.4
Comparator Response Time
Response time is the minimum time, after selecting a
new reference voltage or input source, before the
comparator output has a valid level. If the internal reference is changed, the maximum delay of the internal
voltage reference must be considered when using the
comparator outputs. Otherwise the maximum delay of
the comparators should be used (Section 27.0).
21.5
Comparator Outputs
The comparator outputs are read through the CMCON
register. These bits are read only. The comparator
outputs may also be directly output to the RE1 and RE2
I/O pins. When enabled, multiplexors in the output path
of the RE1 and RE2 pins will switch and the output of
each pin will be the unsynchronized output of the comparator. The uncertainty of each of the comparators is
related to the input offset voltage and the response time
given in the specifications. Figure 21-3 shows the
comparator output block diagram.

The TRISE bits will still function as an output enable/

INTERNAL REFERENCE SIGNAL
EXTERNAL REFERENCE SIGNAL
When external voltage references are used, the
comparator module can be configured to have the comparators operate from the same, or different reference
sources. However, threshold detector applications may
require the same reference. The reference signal must
be between VSS and VDD, and can be applied to either
pin of the comparator(s).

Comparator Interrupts
Note:
The comparator interrupt flag is set whenever there is
a change in the output value of either comparator.
Software will need to maintain information about the
status of the output bits, as read from CMCON<7:6>, to
determine the actual change that occurred. The CMIF
bit (PIR registers) is the comparator interrupt flag. The
CMIF bit must be reset by clearing ‘0’. Since it is also
possible to write a '1' to this register, a simulated
interrupt may be initiated.
The CMIE bit (PIE registers) and the PEIE bit (INTCON
register) must be set to enable the interrupt. In addition,
the GIE bit must also be set. If any of these bits are
clear, the interrupt is not enabled, though the CMIF bit
will still be set if an interrupt condition occurs.
If a change in the CMCON register
(C1OUT or C2OUT) should occur when a
read operation is being executed (start of
the Q2 cycle), then the CMIF (PIR
registers) interrupt flag may not get set.
The user, in the Interrupt Service Routine, can clear the
interrupt in the following manner:
a)
b)
Any read or write of CMCON will end the
mismatch condition.
Clear flag bit CMIF.
A mismatch condition will continue to set flag bit CMIF.
Reading CMCON will end the mismatch condition and
allow flag bit CMIF to be cleared.

Comparator Operation During
SLEEP
21.8
A device RESET forces the CMCON register to its
RESET state, causing the comparator module to be in
the comparator RESET mode, CM<2:0> = 000. This
ensures that all potential inputs are analog inputs.
Device current is minimized when analog inputs are
present at RESET time. The comparators will be
powered down during the RESET interval.
When a comparator is active and the device is placed
in SLEEP mode, the comparator remains active and
the interrupt is functional, if enabled. This interrupt will
wake-up the device from SLEEP mode, when enabled.
While the comparator is powered up, higher SLEEP
currents than shown in the power-down current
specification will occur. Each operational comparator
will consume additional current, as shown in the comparator specifications. To minimize power consumption
while in SLEEP mode, turn off the comparators,
CM<2:0> = 111, before entering SLEEP. If the device
wakes up from SLEEP, the contents of the CMCON
register are not affected.

Analog Input Connection
Considerations
A simplified circuit for an analog input is shown in
Figure 21-4. 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 latchup condition may
occur. A maximum source impedance of 10 kΩ is recommended for the analog sources. Any external component connected to an analog input pin, such as a
capacitor or a Zener diode, should have very little
leakage current.

COMPARATOR VOLTAGE
REFERENCE MODULE
22.1
The Comparator Voltage Reference is only
available on the PIC18F448 and
PIC18F458.
This module is a 16-tap resistor ladder network that
provides a selectable voltage reference. The resistor
ladder is segmented to provide two ranges of CVREF
values and has a power-down function to conserve
power when the reference is not being used. The
CVRCON register controls the operation of the
reference as shown in Register 22-1. The block
diagram is shown in Figure 22-1.
The comparator and reference supply voltage can
come from either VDD and VSS, or the external VREF+
and VREF-, that are multiplexed with RA3 and RA2. The
comparator reference supply voltage is controlled by
the CVRSS bit.
Configuring the Comparator
Voltage Reference
The Comparator Voltage Reference can output 16 distinct voltage levels for each range. The equations used
to calculate the output of the Comparator Voltage
Reference are as follows.
EQUATION 22-1:
If CVRR = 1:
CVREF = (CVR<3:0>/24) x CVRSRC
where:
CVRSS = 1, CVRSRC = (VREF+) – (VREF-)
CVRSS = 0, CVRSRC = VDD – VSS
EQUATION 22-2:
If CVRR = 0:
CVREF = (CVRSRC x 1/4) + (CVR<3:0>/32) x CVRSRC
where:
CVRSS = 1, CVRSRC = (VREF+) – (VREF-)
CVRSS = 0, CVRSRC = VDD – VSS
The settling time of the Comparator Voltage Reference
must be considered when changing the RA0/AN0/CVREF
output (see Table 27-4 in Section 27.2).

Effects of a RESET
The full range of voltage reference cannot be realized
due to the construction of the module. The transistors
on the top and bottom of the resistor ladder network
(Figure 22-1) keep VREF from approaching the reference source rails. The voltage reference is derived
from the reference source; therefore, the VREF output
changes with fluctuations in that source. The absolute
accuracy of the voltage reference can be found in
Section 27.0.
A device RESET disables the voltage reference by
clearing bit CVREN (CVRCON register). This RESET
also disconnects the reference from the RA2 pin by
clearing bit CVROE (CVRCON register) and selects
the high voltage range by clearing bit CVRR (CVRCON
register). The CVRSS value select bits, CVRCON<3:0>,
are also cleared.
22.3
The voltage reference module operates independently
of the comparator module. The output of the reference
generator may be connected to the RA0/AN0 pin if the
TRISA<0> bit is set and the CVROE bit (CVRCON<6>)
is set. Enabling the voltage reference output onto the
RA0/AN0 pin, with an input signal present, will increase
current consumption. Connecting RA0/AN0 as a digital
output with CVRSS enabled, will also increase current
consumption.
Operation During SLEEP
When the device wakes up from SLEEP through an
interrupt or a Watchdog Timer Time-out, the contents of
the CVRCON register are not affected. To minimize
current consumption in SLEEP mode, the voltage
reference should be disabled.
22.5
Connection Considerations
The RA0/AN0 pin can be used as a simple D/A output
with limited drive capability. Due to the limited current
drive capability, a buffer must be used on the voltage
reference output for external connections to VREF.
Figure 22-2 shows an example buffering technique.

LOW VOLTAGE DETECT
In many applications, the ability to determine if the
device voltage (VDD) is below a specified voltage level
is a desirable feature. A window of operation for the
application can be created, where the application software can do “housekeeping tasks” before the device
voltage exits the valid operating range. This can be
done using the Low Voltage Detect module.
This module is a software programmable circuitry,
where a device voltage trip point can be specified.
When the voltage of the device becomes lower than the
specified point, an interrupt flag is set. If the interrupt is
enabled, the program execution will branch to the interrupt vector address and the software can then respond
to that interrupt source.
The Low Voltage Detect circuitry is completely under
software control. This allows the circuitry to be “turned
off” by the software, which minimizes the current
consumption for the device.
The block diagram for the LVD module is shown in
Figure 23-2. A comparator uses an internally generated reference voltage as the set point. When the
selected tap output of the device voltage crosses the
set point (is lower than), the LVDIF bit is set.
Each node in the resistor divider represents a “trip
point” voltage. The “trip point” voltage is the minimum
supply voltage level at which the device can operate
before the LVD module asserts an interrupt. When the
supply voltage is equal to the trip point, the voltage
tapped off of the resistor array is equal to the internal
reference voltage generated by the voltage reference
module. The comparator then generates an interrupt
signal setting the LVDIF bit. This voltage is software
programmable to any one of 16 values (see
Figure 23-2). The trip point is selected by programming
the LVDL3:LVDL0 bits (LVDCON<3:0>).
TYPICAL LOW VOLTAGE DETECT APPLICATION
Voltage
FIGURE 23-1:
Figure 23-1 shows a possible application voltage curve
(typically for batteries). Over time, the device voltage
decreases. When the device voltage equals voltage VA,
the LVD logic generates an interrupt. This occurs at
time TA. The application software then has the time,
until the device voltage is no longer in valid operating
range, to shutdown the system. Voltage point VB is the
minimum valid operating voltage specification. This
occurs at time TB. The difference TB – TA is the total
time for shutdown.

The LVD module has an additional feature that allows

LVDL3:LVDL0 are set to ‘1111’. In this state, the comparator input is multiplexed from the external input pin
LVDIN to one input of the comparator (Figure 23-3).

The other input is connected to the internally generated voltage reference (parameter D423 in

allows them to configure the Low Voltage Detect interrupt to occur at any voltage in the valid operating
range.

Operation
Depending on the power source for the device voltage,
the voltage normally decreases relatively slowly. This
means that the LVD module does not need to be constantly operating. To decrease the current requirements, the LVD circuitry only needs to be enabled for
short periods, where the voltage is checked. After
doing the check, the LVD module may be disabled.
Each time that the LVD module is enabled, the circuitry
requires some time to stabilize. After the circuitry has
stabilized, all status flags may be cleared. The module
will then indicate the proper state of the system.
The following steps are needed to set up the LVD
module:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
Write the value to the LVDL3:LVDL0 bits
(LVDCON register), which selects the desired
LVD trip point.
Ensure that LVD interrupts are disabled (the
LVDIE bit is cleared or the GIE bit is cleared).
Enable the LVD module (set the LVDEN bit in
the LVDCON register).
Wait for the LVD module to stabilize (the IRVST
bit to become set).
Clear the LVD interrupt flag, which may have
falsely become set until the LVD module has
stabilized (clear the LVDIF bit).
Enable the LVD interrupt (set the LVDIE and the
GIE bits).
Figure 23-4 shows typical waveforms that the LVD
module may be used to detect.

REFERENCE VOLTAGE SET POINT
The Internal Reference Voltage of the LVD module may
be used by other internal circuitry (the Programmable
Brown-out Reset). If these circuits are disabled (lower
current consumption), the reference voltage circuit
requires a time to become stable before a low voltage
condition can be reliably detected. This time is invariant
of system clock speed. This start-up time is specified in
electrical specification parameter 36. The low voltage
interrupt flag will not be enabled until a stable reference
voltage is reached. Refer to the waveform in Figure 23-4.
23.2.2
23.3
Operation During SLEEP
When enabled, the LVD circuitry continues to operate
during SLEEP. If the device voltage crosses the trip
point, the LVDIF bit will be set and the device will
wake-up from SLEEP. Device execution will continue
from the interrupt vector address if interrupts have
been globally enabled.
23.4
Effects of a RESET
A device RESET forces all registers to their RESET
state. This forces the LVD module to be turned off.
CURRENT CONSUMPTION
When the module is enabled, the LVD comparator and
voltage divider are enabled and will consume static current. The voltage divider can be tapped from multiple
places in the resistor array. Total current consumption,
when enabled, is specified in electrical specification
parameter D022B.

SPECIAL FEATURES OF THE
CPU
SLEEP mode is designed to offer a very low current
power-down mode. The user can wake-up from SLEEP
through external RESET, Watchdog Timer Wake-up or
through an interrupt. Several oscillator options are also
made available to allow the part to fit the application.
The RC oscillator option saves system cost, while the
LP crystal option saves power. A set of configuration
bits is used to select various options.
There are several features intended to maximize system reliability, minimize cost through elimination of
external components, provide power saving operating
modes and offer code protection. These are:
• OSC Selection
• RESET
- Power-on Reset (POR)
- Power-up Timer (PWRT)
- Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST)
- Brown-out Reset (BOR)
• Interrupts
• Watchdog Timer (WDT)
• SLEEP
• Code Protection
• ID Locations
• In-Circuit Serial Programming
24.1
The configuration bits can be programmed (read as '0'),
or left unprogrammed (read as '1'), to select various
device configurations. These bits are mapped starting
at program memory location 300000h.
The user will note that address 300000h is beyond the
user program memory space. In fact, it belongs to the
configuration memory space (300000h - 3FFFFFh),
which can only be accessed using Table Reads and
Table Writes.
Programming the configuration registers is done in a
manner similar to programming the FLASH memory.
The EECON1 register WR bit starts a self-timed write
to the configuration register. In normal operation mode,
a TBLWT instruction with the TBLPTR pointed to the
configuration register sets up the address and the data
for the configuration register write. Setting the WR bit
starts a long write to the configuration register. The configuration registers are written a byte at a time. To write
or erase a configuration cell, a TBLWT instruction can
write a ‘1’ or a ‘0’ into the cell.
All PIC18FXX8 devices have a Watchdog Timer, which
is permanently enabled via the configuration bits or
software controlled. It runs off its own RC oscillator for
added reliability. There are two timers that offer necessary delays on power-up. One is the Oscillator Start-up
Timer (OST), intended to keep the chip in RESET until
the crystal oscillator is stable. The other is the Powerup Timer (PWRT), which provides a fixed delay on
power-up only, designed to keep the part in RESET
while the power supply stabilizes. With these two timers on-chip, most applications need no external
RESET circuitry.

24.2
Watchdog Timer (WDT)
The Watchdog Timer is a free running, on-chip RC
oscillator, which does not require any external components. This RC oscillator is separate from the RC oscillator of the OSC1/CLKI pin. That means that the WDT
will run, even if the clock on the OSC1/CLKI and OSC2/
CLKO/RA6 pins of the device has been stopped, for
example, by execution of a SLEEP instruction.
The WDT time-out period values may be found in the
Electrical Specifications section under parameter #31.
Values for the WDT postscaler may be assigned using
the configuration bits.
During normal operation, a WDT time-out generates a
device RESET (Watchdog Timer Reset). If the device is
in SLEEP mode, a WDT time-out causes the device to
wake-up and continue with normal operation (Watchdog Timer Wake-up). The TO bit in the RCON register
will be cleared upon a WDT time-out.
The Watchdog Timer is enabled/disabled by a device
configuration bit. If the WDT is enabled, software execution may not disable this function. When the WDTEN
configuration bit is cleared, the SWDTEN bit enables/
disables the operation of the WDT.
Note:
The CLRWDT and SLEEP instructions clear
the WDT and the postscaler, if assigned to
the WDT and prevent it from timing out and
generating a device RESET condition.
Note:
When a CLRWDT instruction is executed
and the postscaler is assigned to the WDT,
the postscaler count will be cleared, but the
postscaler assignment is not changed.

CONTROL REGISTER
Register 24-13 shows the WDTCON register. This is a

Power-down Mode (SLEEP)
Power-down mode is entered by executing a SLEEP
instruction.
If enabled, the Watchdog Timer will be cleared, but
keeps running, the PD bit (RCON<3>) is cleared, the
TO (RCON<4>) bit is set, and the oscillator driver is
turned off. The I/O ports maintain the status they had
before the SLEEP instruction was executed (driving
high, low or hi-impedance).
For lowest current consumption in this mode, place all
I/O pins at either VDD or VSS, ensure no external circuitry is drawing current from the I/O pin, power-down
the A/D and disable external clocks. Pull all I/O pins
that are hi-impedance inputs, high or low externally, to
avoid switching currents caused by floating inputs. The
T0CKI input should also be at VDD or VSS for lowest
current consumption. The contribution from on-chip
pull-ups on PORTB should be considered.
The MCLR pin must be at a logic high level (VIHMC).
24.3.1
3.
When the SLEEP instruction is being executed, the next
instruction (PC + 2) is pre-fetched. For the device to
wake-up through an interrupt event, the corresponding
interrupt enable bit must be set (enabled). Wake-up is
regardless of the state of the GIE bit. If the GIE bit is
clear (disabled), the device continues execution at the
instruction after the SLEEP instruction. If the GIE bit is
set (enabled), the device executes the instruction after
the SLEEP instruction and then branches to the interrupt address. In cases where the execution of the
instruction following SLEEP is not desirable, the user
should have a NOP after the SLEEP instruction.
24.3.2
WAKE-UP FROM SLEEP
The device can wake-up from SLEEP through one of
the following events:
1.
2.
External MCLR Reset will cause a device RESET. All
other events are considered a continuation of program
execution and will cause a “wake-up”. The TO and PD
bits in the RCON register can be used to determine the
cause of the device RESET. The PD bit, which is set on
power-up, is cleared when SLEEP is invoked. The TO
bit is cleared, if a WDT time-out occurred (and caused
wake-up).
External RESET input on MCLR pin.
Watchdog Timer Wake-up (if WDT was
enabled).
Interrupt from INT pin, RB port change or a
peripheral interrupt.
The following peripheral interrupts can wake the device
from SLEEP:
1.
2.
PSP read or write.
TMR1 interrupt. Timer1 must be operating as an
asynchronous counter.
3. TMR3 interrupt. Timer3 must be operating as an
asynchronous counter.
4. CCP Capture mode interrupt.
5. Special event trigger (Timer1 in Asynchronous
mode using an external clock).
6. MSSP (START/STOP) bit detect interrupt.
7. MSSP transmit or receive in Slave mode
(SPI/I2C).
8. USART RX or TX (Synchronous Slave mode).
9. A/D conversion (when A/D clock source is RC).
10. EEPROM write operation complete.
11. LVD interrupt.
WAKE-UP USING INTERRUPTS
When global interrupts are disabled (GIE cleared) and
any interrupt source has both its interrupt enable bit
and interrupt flag bit set, one of the following will occur:
• If an interrupt condition (interrupt flag bit and interrupt enable bits are set) occurs before the execution of a SLEEP instruction, the SLEEP instruction
will complete as a NOP. Therefore, the WDT and
WDT postscaler will not be cleared, the TO bit will
not be set and PD bits will not be cleared.
• If the interrupt condition occurs during or after
the execution of a SLEEP instruction, the device
will immediately wake-up from SLEEP. The
SLEEP instruction will be completely executed
before the wake-up. Therefore, the WDT and
WDT postscaler will be cleared, the TO bit will be
set and the PD bit will be cleared.
Even if the flag bits were checked before executing a
SLEEP instruction, it may be possible for flag bits to
become set before the SLEEP instruction completes. To
determine whether a SLEEP instruction executed, test
the PD bit. If the PD bit is set, the SLEEP instruction
was executed as a NOP.
To ensure that the WDT is cleared, a CLRWDT
instruction should be executed before a SLEEP
instruction.
Other peripherals cannot generate interrupts, since
during SLEEP, no on-chip clocks are present.

Program Verification and
Code Protection
Each of the five blocks has three code protection bits
associated with them. They are:
The overall structure of the code protection on the
PIC18 FLASH devices differs significantly from other
PICmicro devices.
• Code Protect bit (CPn)
• Write Protect bit (WRTn)
• External Block Table Read bit (EBTRn)
The user program memory is divided into five blocks.
One of these is a boot block of 512 bytes. The remainder of the memory is divided into four blocks on binary
boundaries.
Figure 24-3 shows the program memory organization
for 16- and 32-Kbyte devices and the specific code
protection bit associated with each block. The actual
locations of the bits are summarized in Table 24-3.

PROGRAM MEMORY
CODE PROTECTION
Note:
The user memory may be read to or written from any
location using the Table Read and Table Write instructions. The device ID may be read with Table Reads.
The configuration registers may be read and written
with the Table Read and Table Write instructions.
In User mode, the CPn bits have no direct effect. CPn
bits inhibit external reads and writes. A block of user
memory may be protected from Table Writes if the
WRTn configuration bit is ‘0’. The EBTRn bits control
Table Reads. For a block of user memory with the
EBTRn bit set to ‘0’, a Table Read instruction that
executes from within that block is allowed to read. A
Table Read instruction that executes from a location
outside of that block is not allowed to read, and will
result in reading ‘0’s. Figures 24-4 through 24-6
illustrate Table Write and Table Read protection.
FIGURE 24-4:
Code protection bits may only be written to
a ‘0’ from a ‘1’ state. It is not possible to
write a ‘1’ to a bit in the ‘0’ state. Code protection bits are only set to ‘1’ by a full chip
erase or block erase function. The full chip
erase and block erase functions can only
be initiated via ICSP or an external
programmer.

DATA EEPROM
CODE PROTECTION
The entire data EEPROM is protected from external
reads and writes by two bits: CPD and WRTD. CPD
inhibits external reads and writes of data EEPROM.
WRTD inhibits external writes to data EEPROM. The
CPU can continue to read and write data EEPROM,
regardless of the protection bit settings.
24.4.3
24.8
CONFIGURATION REGISTER
PROTECTION
The configuration registers can be write protected. The
WRTC bit controls protection of the configuration registers. In User mode, the WRTC bit is readable only.
WRTC can only be written via ICSP or an external
programmer.
24.5
ID Locations
Eight memory locations (200000h - 200007h) are designated as ID locations, where the user can store
checksum or other code identification numbers. These
locations are accessible during normal execution
through the TBLRD and TBLWT instructions, or during
program/verify. The ID locations can be read when the
device is code protected.
24.6
In-Circuit Debugger
When the DEBUG bit in configuration register
CONFIG4L is programmed to a ’0’, the In-Circuit
Debugger functionality is enabled. This function allows
simple debugging functions when used with MPLAB®
IDE. When the microcontroller has this feature
enabled, some of the resources are not available for
general use. Resources used include 2 I/O pins, stack
locations, program memory and data memory. For
more information on the resources required, see the
User’s Guide for the In-Circuit Debugger you are using.
 2002 Microchip Technology Inc.
Low Voltage ICSP Programming
The LVP bit configuration register CONFIG4L enables
low voltage ICSP programming. This mode allows the
microcontroller to be programmed via ICSP using a
VDD source in the operating voltage range. This only
means that VPP does not have to be brought to VIHH,
but can instead be left at the normal operating voltage.
In this mode, the RB5/PGM pin is dedicated to the programming function and ceases to be a general purpose
I/O pin. During programming, VDD is applied to the
MCLR/VPP pin. To enter Programming mode, VDD must
be applied to the RB5/PGM, provided the LVP bit is set.
The LVP bit defaults to a (‘1’) from the factory.
Note 1: The High Voltage Programming mode is
always available, regardless of the state
of the LVP bit, by applying VIHH to the
MCLR pin.
2: While in Low Voltage ICSP mode, the
RB5 pin can no longer be used as a
general purpose I/O pin.
In-Circuit Serial Programming
PIC18FXXX microcontrollers can be serially programmed while in the end application circuit. This is
simply done with two lines for clock and data, and three
other lines for power, ground and the programming
voltage. This allows customers to manufacture boards
with unprogrammed devices, and then program the
microcontroller just before shipping the product. This
also allows the most recent firmware or a custom
firmware to be programmed.
24.7
To use the In-Circuit Debugger function of the microcontroller, the design must implement In-Circuit Serial
Programming connections to MCLR/VPP, VDD, GND,
RB7 and RB6. This will interface to the In-Circuit
Debugger module available from Microchip, or one of
the third party development tool companies. The
Microchip In-Circuit Debugger (ICD) used with the
PIC18FXXX microcontrollers is the MPLAB® ICD 2.
3: When using Low Voltage ICSP programming (LVP) and the pull-ups on PORTB
are enabled, bit 5 in the TRISB register
must be cleared to disable the pull-up on
RB5 and ensure the proper operation of
the device.
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 when programming is entered with VIHH on
MCLR/VPP. The LVP bit can only be charged when
using high voltage on MCLR.
It should be noted that once the LVP bit is programmed
to 0, only the High Voltage Programming mode is available and only High Voltage Programming mode can be
used to program the device.
When using Low Voltage ICSP, the part must be supplied 4.5V to 5.5V, if a bulk erase will be executed. This
includes reprogramming of the code protect bits from
an on-state to off-state. For all other cases of Low Voltage ICSP, the part may be programmed at the normal
operating voltage. This means unique user IDs, or user
code can be reprogrammed or added.

INSTRUCTION SET SUMMARY
The PIC18 instruction set adds many enhancements to
the previous PICmicro instruction sets, while maintaining
an easy migration from these PICmicro instruction sets.
Most instructions are a single program memory word
(16 bits), but there are three instructions that require
two program memory locations.
Each single word instruction is a 16-bit word divided
into an OPCODE, which specifies the instruction type
and one or more operands, which further specify the
operation of the instruction.
The instruction set is highly orthogonal and is grouped
into four basic categories:
•
•
•
•
Byte-oriented operations
Bit-oriented operations
Literal operations
Control operations
The PIC18 instruction set summary in Table 25-2 lists
byte-oriented, bit-oriented, literal and control
operations. Table 25-1 shows the opcode field
descriptions.
Most byte-oriented instructions have three operands:
1.
2.
3.
The file register (specified by ‘f’)
The destination of the result
(specified by ‘d’)
The accessed memory
(specified by ‘a’)
The file register designator 'f' specifies which file
register is to be used by the instruction.
The destination designator ‘d’ specifies where the
result of the operation is to be placed. If 'd' is zero, the
result is placed in the WREG register. If 'd' is one, the
result is placed in the file register specified in the
instruction.
All bit-oriented instructions have three operands:
1.
2.
3.
The file register (specified by ‘f’)
The bit in the file register
(specified by ‘b’)
The accessed memory
(specified by ‘a’)
The bit field designator 'b' selects the number of the bit
affected by the operation, while the file register designator 'f' represents the number of the file in which the
bit is located.
The literal instructions may use some of the following
operands:
• A literal value to be loaded into a file register
(specified by ‘k’)
• The desired FSR register to load the literal value
into (specified by ‘f’)
• No operand required
(specified by ‘—’)
 2002 Microchip Technology Inc.
The control instructions may use some of the following
operands:
• A program memory address (specified by ‘n’)
• The mode of the Call or Return instructions
(specified by ‘s’)
• The mode of the Table Read and Table Write
instructions (specified by ‘m’)
• No operand required
(specified by ‘—’)
All instructions are a single word, except for three
double-word instructions. These three instructions
were made double-word instructions so that all the
required information is available in these 32 bits. In the
second word, the 4 MSbs are 1’s. If this second word is
executed as an instruction (by itself), it will execute as
a NOP.
All single word instructions are executed in a single
instruction cycle, unless a conditional test is true or the
program counter is changed as a result of the instruction. In these cases, the execution takes two instruction
cycles, with the additional instruction cycle(s) executed
as a NOP.
The double-word instructions execute in two instruction
cycles.
One instruction cycle consists of four oscillator periods.
Thus, for an oscillator frequency of 4 MHz, the normal
instruction execution time is 1 µs. If a conditional test is
true, or the program counter is changed as a result of
an instruction, the instruction execution time is 2 µs.
Two-word branch instructions (if true) would take 3 µs.
Figure 25-1 shows the general formats that the
instructions can have.
All examples use the format ‘nnh’ to represent a
hexadecimal number, where ‘h’ signifies a
hexadecimal digit.
The Instruction Set Summary, shown in Table 25-2,
lists the instructions recognized by the Microchip
Assembler (MPASMTM).
Section 25.2 provides a description of each instruction.
25.1
READ-MODIFY-WRITE
OPERATIONS
Any instruction that specifies a file register as part of
the instruction performs a Read-Modify-Write (R-M-W)
operation. The register is read, the data is modified,
and the result is stored according to either the instruction or the destination designator ‘d’. A read operation
is performed on a register even if the instruction writes
to that register.
For example, a “clrf PORTB” instruction will read
PORTB, clear all the data bits, then write the result
back to PORTB. This example would have the unintended result that the condition that sets the RBIF flag
would be cleared.

Note 1: When a PORT register is modified as a function of itself (e.g., MOVF PORTB, 1, 0), the value used will be
that value present on the pins themselves. For example, if the data latch is ’1’ for a pin configured as input and
is driven low by an external device, the data will be written back with a ’0’.
2: If this instruction is executed on the TMR0 register (and, where applicable, d = 1), the prescaler will be
cleared if assigned.
3: If Program Counter (PC) is modified or a conditional test is true, the instruction requires two cycles. The
second cycle is executed as a NOP.
4: Some instructions are 2-word instructions. The second word of these instructions will be executed as a NOP,
unless the first word of the instruction retrieves the information embedded in these 16 bits. This ensures that
all program memory locations have a valid instruction.
5: If the Table Write starts the write cycle to internal memory, the write will continue until terminated.

Note 1: When a PORT register is modified as a function of itself (e.g., MOVF PORTB, 1, 0), the value used will be
that value present on the pins themselves. For example, if the data latch is '1' for a pin configured as input and
is driven low by an external device, the data will be written back with a '0'.
2: If this instruction is executed on the TMR0 register (and, where applicable, d = 1), the prescaler will be
cleared if assigned.
3: If Program Counter (PC) is modified or a conditional test is true, the instruction requires two cycles. The
second cycle is executed as a NOP.
4: Some instructions are 2-word instructions. The second word of these instructions will be executed as a NOP,
unless the first word of the instruction retrieves the information embedded in these 16 bits. This ensures that
all program memory locations have a valid instruction.
5: If the Table Write starts the write cycle to internal memory, the write will continue until terminated.

The MPASM assembler has a command line interface
and a Windows shell. It can be used as a stand-alone
application on a Windows 3.x or greater system, or it
can be used through MPLAB IDE. The MPASM assembler generates relocatable object files for the MPLINK
object linker, Intel® standard HEX files, MAP files to
detail memory usage and symbol reference, an absolute LST file that contains source lines and generated
machine code, and a COD file for debugging.
The MPASM assembler features include:

C Compilers
The MPLAB C17 and MPLAB C18 Code Development
Systems are complete ANSI ‘C’ compilers for
Microchip’s PIC17CXXX and PIC18CXXX family of
microcontrollers, respectively. These compilers provide
powerful integration capabilities and ease of use not
found with other compilers.
For easier source level debugging, the compilers provide symbol information that is compatible with the
MPLAB IDE memory display.

MPLINK Object Linker/
MPLIB Object Librarian
26.6
The MPLINK object linker combines relocatable
objects created by the MPASM assembler and the
MPLAB C17 and MPLAB C18 C compilers. It can also
link relocatable objects from pre-compiled libraries,
using directives from a linker script.
The MPLIB object librarian is a librarian for precompiled code to be used with the MPLINK object
linker. When a routine from a library is called from
another source file, only the modules that contain that
routine will be linked in with the application. This allows
large libraries to be used efficiently in many different
applications. The MPLIB object librarian manages the
creation and modification of library files.
The MPLINK object linker features include:
• Integration with MPASM assembler and MPLAB
C17 and MPLAB C18 C compilers.
• Allows all memory areas to be defined as sections
to provide link-time flexibility.
The MPLIB object librarian features include:
• Easier linking because single libraries can be
included instead of many smaller files.
• Helps keep code maintainable by grouping
related modules together.
• Allows libraries to be created and modules to be
added, listed, replaced, deleted or extracted.
26.5
The MPLAB ICE universal in-circuit emulator is intended
to provide the product development engineer with a
complete microcontroller design tool set for PICmicro
microcontrollers (MCUs). Software control of the
MPLAB ICE in-circuit emulator is provided by the
MPLAB Integrated Development Environment (IDE),
which allows editing, building, downloading and source
debugging from a single environment.
The MPLAB ICE 2000 is a full-featured emulator system with enhanced trace, trigger and data monitoring
features. Interchangeable processor modules allow the
system to be easily reconfigured for emulation of different processors. The universal architecture of the
MPLAB ICE in-circuit emulator allows expansion to
support new PICmicro microcontrollers.
The MPLAB ICE in-circuit emulator system has been
designed as a real-time emulation system, with
advanced features that are generally found on more
expensive development tools. The PC platform and
Microsoft® Windows environment were chosen to best
make these features available to you, the end user.

MPLAB SIM Software Simulator
The MPLAB SIM software simulator allows code development in a PC-hosted environment by simulating the
PICmicro series microcontrollers on an instruction
level. On any given instruction, the data areas can be
examined or modified and stimuli can be applied from
a file, or user-defined key press, to any of the pins. The
execution can be performed in single step, execute
until break, or trace mode.
MPLAB ICE High Performance
Universal In-Circuit Emulator with
MPLAB IDE
ICEPIC In-Circuit Emulator
The ICEPIC low cost, in-circuit emulator is a solution
for the Microchip Technology PIC16C5X, PIC16C6X,
PIC16C7X and PIC16CXXX families of 8-bit OneTime-Programmable (OTP) microcontrollers. The modular system can support different subsets of PIC16C5X
or PIC16CXXX products through the use of interchangeable personality modules, or daughter boards.
The emulator is capable of emulating without target
application circuitry being present.
The MPLAB SIM simulator fully supports symbolic debugging using the MPLAB C17 and the MPLAB C18 C compilers and the MPASM assembler. The software simulator
offers the flexibility to develop and debug code outside of
the laboratory environment, making it an excellent multiproject software development tool.

ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
Absolute Maximum Ratings(†)
Ambient temperature under bias.............................................................................................................-55°C to +125°C
Storage temperature .............................................................................................................................. -65°C to +150°C
Voltage on any pin with respect to VSS (except VDD, MCLR, and RA4) ......................................... -0.3V to (VDD + 0.3V)
Voltage on VDD with respect to VSS ......................................................................................................... -0.3V to +7.5V
Voltage on MCLR with respect to VSS (Note 2) ......................................................................................... 0V to +13.25V
Voltage on RA4 with respect to Vss ............................................................................................................... 0V to +8.5V
Total power dissipation (Note 1) ...............................................................................................................................1.0W
Maximum current out of VSS pin ...........................................................................................................................300 mA
Maximum current into VDD pin ..............................................................................................................................250 mA
Input clamp current, IIK (VI < 0 or VI > VDD) .......................................................................................................... ±20 mA
Output clamp current, IOK (VO < 0 or VO > VDD) ...................................................................................................±20 mA
Maximum output current sunk by any I/O pin..........................................................................................................25 mA
Maximum output current sourced by any I/O pin ....................................................................................................25 mA
Maximum current sunk by all ports (combined) ....................................................................................................200 mA
Maximum current sourced by all ports (combined) ...............................................................................................200 mA
Note 1: Power dissipation is calculated as follows:
Pdis = VDD x {IDD - ∑ IOH} + ∑ {(VDD-VOH) x IOH} + ∑(VOl x IOL)
2: Voltage spikes below VSS at the MCLR/VPP pin, inducing currents greater than 80 mA, may cause latchup.
Thus, a series resistor of 50-100Ω should be used when applying a “low” level to the MCLR/VPP pin, rather
than pulling this pin directly to VSS.
Note:
Stresses above those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the
device. This is a stress rating only and functional operation of the device at those or any other conditions
above those indicated in the operation listings of this specification is not implied. Exposure to maximum
rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

Legend: Shading of rows is to assist in readability of the table.
Note 1: This is the limit to which VDD can be lowered in SLEEP mode or during a device RESET, without losing
RAM data.
2: The supply current is mainly a function of the operating voltage and frequency. Other factors, such as I/O
pin loading and switching rate, oscillator type, internal code execution pattern and temperature, also have
an impact on the current consumption.
The test conditions for all IDD measurements in Active Operation mode are:
OSC1 = external square wave, from rail-to-rail; all I/O pins tri-stated, pulled to VDD
MCLR = VDD; WDT enabled/disabled as specified.
3: The power-down current in SLEEP mode does not depend on the oscillator type. Power-down current is
measured with the part in SLEEP mode, with all I/O pins in hi-impedance state and tied to VDD or VSS, and
all features that add delta current disabled (such as WDT, Timer1 Oscillator, BOR, ...).
4: For RC osc configuration, current through REXT is not included. The current through the resistor can be
estimated by the formula Ir = VDD/2REXT (mA) with REXT in kOhm.
5: Typical is taken at 25°C.

PICmicro device be driven with an external clock while in RC mode.
2: The leakage current on the MCLR pin is strongly dependent on the applied voltage level. The specified
levels represent normal operating conditions. Higher leakage current may be measured at different input
voltages.
3: Negative current is defined as current sourced by the pin.

Note 1: Instruction cycle period (TCY) equals four times the input oscillator time-base period. All specified values are
based on characterization data for that particular oscillator type under standard operating conditions with
the device executing code. Exceeding these specified limits may result in an unstable oscillator operation
and/or higher than expected current consumption. All devices are tested to operate at "Min." values with an
external clock applied to the OSC1/CLKI pin. When an external clock input is used, the "Max." cycle time
limit is "DC" (no clock) for all devices.

Note 1: As a transmitter, the device must provide this internal minimum delay time to bridge the undefined region
(min. 300 ns) of the falling edge of SCL to avoid unintended generation of START or STOP conditions.
2: A Fast mode I2C bus device can be used in a Standard mode I2C bus system, but the requirement
TSU;DAT ≥ 250 ns must then be met. This will automatically be the case if the device does not stretch the
LOW period of the SCL signal. If such a device does stretch the LOW period of the SCL signal, it must
output the next data bit to the SDA line.
Before the SCL line is released, TR max. + TSU;DAT = 1000 + 250 = 1250 ns (according to the Standard
mode I2C bus specification).

cycle.
Note 1: When A/D is off, it will not consume any current other than minor leakage current. The power-down current
spec includes any such leakage from the A/D module.
VREF current is from RA2/AN2/VREF- and RA3/AN3/VREF+ pins or VDD and VSS pins, whichever is selected
as reference input.
2: VSS ≤ VAIN ≤ VREF
3: The A/D conversion result never decreases with an increase in the input voltage, and has no missing codes.

If the A/D clock source is selected as RC, a time of TCY is added before the A/D clock starts.
This allows the SLEEP instruction to be executed.
This is a minimal RC delay (typically 100 ns), which also disconnects the holding capacitor from the analog input.

This may be used if the
“new” input voltage has not
changed by more than 1 LSb
(i.e., 5 mV @ 5.12V) from the
last sampled voltage (as
stated on CHOLD).
Note 1: ADRES register may be read on the following TCY cycle.
2: See Section 20.0 for minimum conditions when input voltage has changed more than 1 LSb.
3: The time for the holding capacitor to acquire the “New” input voltage when the voltage changes full scale
after the conversion (AVDD to AVSS, or AVSS to AVDD). The source impedance (RS) on the input channels
is 50Ω.
4: On the next Q4 cycle of the device clock.
5: The time of the A/D clock period is dependent on the device frequency and the TAD clock divider.

In the event the full Microchip part number cannot be marked on one line, it will
be carried over to the next line thus limiting the number of available characters
for customer specific information.
Standard PICmicro device marking consists of Microchip part number, year code, week code, and
traceability code. For PICmicro device marking beyond this, certain price adders apply. Please check
with your Microchip Sales Office. For QTP devices, any special marking adders are included in QTP
