PIC17C4X
1.0
OVERVIEW
This data sheet covers the PIC17C4X group of the
PIC17CXX family of microcontrollers. The following
devices are discussed in this data sheet:
•
•
•
•
•
•
PIC17C42
PIC17CR42
PIC17C42A
PIC17C43
PIC17CR43
PIC17C44
There are four configuration options for the device operational modes:
•
•
•
•
The
PIC17CR42,
PIC17C42A,
PIC17C43,
PIC17CR43, and PIC17C44 devices include architectural enhancements over the PIC17C42. These
enhancements will be discussed throughout this data
sheet.
The
PIC17C4X
devices
are
40/44-Pin,
EPROM/ROM-based members of the versatile
PIC17CXX family of low-cost, high-performance,
CMOS, fully-static, 8-bit microcontrollers.
All PIC16/17 microcontrollers employ an advanced
RISC architecture. The PIC17CXX has enhanced core
features, 16-level deep stack, and multiple internal and
external interrupt sources. The separate instruction and
data buses of the Harvard architecture allow a 16-bit
wide instruction word with a separate 8-bit wide data.
The two stage instruction pipeline allows all instructions
to execute in a single cycle, except for program
branches (which require two cycles). A total of 55
instructions (reduced instruction set) are available in
the PIC17C42 and 58 instructions in all the other
devices. Additionally, a large register set gives some of
the architectural innovations used to achieve a very
high performance. For mathematical intensive applications all devices, except the PIC17C42, have a single
cycle 8 x 8 Hardware Multiplier.
PIC17CXX microcontrollers typically achieve a 2:1
code compression and a 4:1 speed improvement over
other 8-bit microcontrollers in their class.
PIC17C4X devices have up to 454 bytes of RAM and
33 I/O pins. In addition, the PIC17C4X adds several
peripheral features useful in many high performance
applications including:
•
•
•
•
power saving. The user can wake-up the chip from
SLEEP through several external and internal interrupts
and device resets.
Four timer/counters
Two capture inputs
Two PWM outputs
A Universal Synchronous Asynchronous Receiver
Transmitter (USART)
These special features reduce external components,
thus reducing cost, enhancing system reliability and
reducing power consumption. There are four oscillator
options, of which the single pin RC oscillator provides a
low-cost solution, the LF oscillator is for low frequency
crystals and minimizes power consumption, XT is a
standard crystal, and the EC is for external clock input.
The SLEEP (power-down) mode offers additional
Microprocessor
Microcontroller
Extended microcontroller
Protected microcontroller
The microprocessor and extended microcontroller
modes allow up to 64K-words of external program
memory.
A highly reliable Watchdog Timer with its own on-chip
RC oscillator provides protection against software malfunction.
Table 1-1 lists the features of the PIC17C4X devices.
A UV-erasable CERDIP-packaged version is ideal for
code development while the cost-effective One-Time
Programmable (OTP) version is suitable for production
in any volume.
The PIC17C4X fits perfectly in applications ranging
from precise motor control and industrial process control to automotive, instrumentation, and telecom applications. Other applications that require extremely fast
execution of complex software programs or the flexibility of programming the software code as one of the last
steps of the manufacturing process would also be well
suited. The EPROM technology makes customization
of application programs (with unique security codes,
combinations, model numbers, parameter storage,
etc.) fast and convenient. Small footprint package
options make the PIC17C4X ideal for applications with
space limitations that require high performance. High
speed execution, powerful peripheral features, flexible
I/O, and low power consumption all at low cost make
the PIC17C4X ideal for a wide range of embedded control applications.
1.1
Family and Upward Compatibility
Those users familiar with the PIC16C5X and
PIC16CXX families of microcontrollers will see the
architectural enhancements that have been implemented. These enhancements allow the device to be
more efficient in software and hardware requirements.
Please refer to Appendix A for a detailed list of
enhancements and modifications. Code written for
PIC16C5X or PIC16CXX can be easily ported to
PIC17CXX family of devices (Appendix B).
1.2
Development Support
The PIC17CXX family is supported by a full-featured
macro assembler, a software simulator, an in-circuit
emulator, a universal programmer, a “C” compiler, and
fuzzy logic support tools.

PIC17C4X
3.0
ARCHITECTURAL OVERVIEW
The high performance of the PIC17C4X can be attributed to a number of architectural features commonly
found in RISC microprocessors. To begin with, the
PIC17C4X uses a modified Harvard architecture. This
architecture has the program and data accessed from
separate memories. So the device has a program
memory bus and a data memory bus. This improves
bandwidth over traditional von Neumann architecture,
where program and data are fetched from the same
memory (accesses over the same bus). Separating
program and data memory further allows instructions to
be sized differently than the 8-bit wide data word.
PIC17C4X opcodes are 16-bits wide, enabling single
word instructions. The full 16-bit wide program memory
bus fetches a 16-bit instruction in a single cycle. A twostage pipeline overlaps fetch and execution of instructions. Consequently, all instructions execute in a single
cycle (121 ns @ 33 MHz), except for program branches
and two special instructions that transfer data between
program and data memory.
The PIC17C4X can address up to 64K x 16 of program
memory space.
The PIC17C42 and PIC17C42A integrate 2K x 16 of
EPROM program memory on-chip, while the
PIC17CR42 has 2K x 16 of ROM program memory onchip.
The PIC17C43 integrates 4K x 16 of EPROM program
memory, while the PIC17CR43 has 4K x 16 of ROM
program memory.
The PIC17C44 integrates 8K x 16 EPROM program
memory.
Program execution can be internal only (microcontroller or protected microcontroller mode), external only
(microprocessor mode) or both (extended microcontroller mode). Extended microcontroller mode does not
allow code protection.
The PIC17CXX can directly or indirectly address its
register files or data memory. All special function registers, including the Program Counter (PC) and Working
Register (WREG), are mapped in the data memory.
The PIC17CXX has an orthogonal (symmetrical)
instruction set that makes it possible to carry out any
operation on any register using any addressing mode.
This symmetrical nature and lack of ‘special optimal situations’ make programming with the PIC17CXX simple
yet efficient. In addition, the learning curve is reduced
significantly.
One of the PIC17CXX family architectural enhancements from the PIC16CXX family allows two file registers to be used in some two operand instructions. This
allows data to be moved directly between two registers
without going through the WREG register. This
increases performance and decreases program memory usage.
The PIC17CXX devices contain an 8-bit ALU and working register. The ALU is a general purpose arithmetic
unit. It performs arithmetic and Boolean functions
between data in the working register and any register
file.
The ALU is 8-bits wide and capable of addition, subtraction, shift, and logical operations. Unless otherwise
mentioned, arithmetic operations are two's complement in nature.
The WREG register is an 8-bit working register used for
ALU operations.
All PIC17C4X devices (except the PIC17C42) have an
8 x 8 hardware multiplier. This multiplier generates a
16-bit result in a single cycle.
Depending on the instruction executed, the ALU may
affect the values of the Carry (C), Digit Carry (DC), and
Zero (Z) bits in the STATUS register. The C and DC bits
operate as a borrow and digit borrow out bit, respectively, in subtraction. See the SUBLW and SUBWF
instructions for examples.
Although the ALU does not perform signed arithmetic,
the Overflow bit (OV) can be used to implement signed
math. Signed arithmetic is comprised of a magnitude
and a sign bit. The overflow bit indicates if the magnitude overflows and causes the sign bit to change state.
Signed math can have greater than 7-bit values (magnitude), if more than one byte is used. The use of the
overflow bit only operates on bit6 (MSb of magnitude)
and bit7 (sign bit) of the value in the ALU. That is, the
overflow bit is not useful if trying to implement signed
math where the magnitude, for example, is 11-bits. If
the signed math values are greater than 7-bits (15-, 24or 31-bit), the algorithm must ensure that the low order
bytes ignore the overflow status bit.
Care should be taken when adding and subtracting
signed numbers to ensure that the correct operation is
executed. Example 3-1 shows an item that must be
taken into account when doing signed arithmetic on an
ALU which operates as an unsigned machine.
EXAMPLE 3-1:

= ?
-127
+
1
= -126 (FEh)
255
+

0 (00h);
Carry bit = 1
Signed math requires the result in REG to
be FEh (-126). This would be accomplished
by subtracting one as opposed to adding
one.
Simplified block diagrams are shown in Figure 3-1 and
Figure 3-2. The descriptions of the device pins are
listed in Table 3-1.

Clocking Scheme/Instruction Cycle
3.1
3.2
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, and the
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 3-3.
Instruction Flow/Pipelining
An “Instruction Cycle” consists of four Q cycles (Q1,
Q2, Q3, and Q4). The instruction fetch and execute are
pipelined such that fetch takes one instruction cycle
while decode and execute takes 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) then
two cycles are required to complete the instruction
(Example 3-2).
A fetch cycle begins with the program counter incrementing in Q1.
In the execution cycle, the fetched instruction is latched
into the “Instruction Register (IR)” in cycle Q1. This
instruction is then decoded and executed during the
Q2, Q3, and Q4 cycles. Data memory is read during Q2
(operand read) and written during Q4 (destination
write).

4.1
Power-on Reset (POR), Power-up
Timer (PWRT), and Oscillator Start-up
Timer (OST)
4.1.1
POWER-ON RESET (POR)
The PIC17CXX differentiates between various kinds of
reset:
• Power-on Reset (POR)
• MCLR reset during normal operation
• WDT Reset (normal operation)
Some registers are not affected in any reset condition;
their status is unknown on POR and unchanged in any
other reset. Most other registers are forced to a “reset
state” on Power-on Reset (POR), on MCLR or WDT
Reset and on MCLR reset during SLEEP. They are not
affected by a WDT Reset during SLEEP, since this reset
is viewed as the resumption of normal operation. The
TO and PD bits are set or cleared differently in different
reset situations as indicated in Table 4-3. These bits are
used in software to determine the nature of reset. See
Table 4-4 for a full description of reset states of all registers.
Note:
While the device is in a reset state, the
internal phase clock is held in the Q1 state.
Any processor mode that allows external
execution will force the RE0/ALE pin as a
low output and the RE1/OE and RE2/WR
pins as high outputs.
A simplified block diagram of the on-chip reset circuit is
shown in Figure 4-1.
FIGURE 4-1:
The Power-on Reset circuit holds the device in reset
until VDD is above the trip point (in the range of 1.4V 2.3V). The PIC17C42 does not produce an internal
reset when VDD declines. All other devices will produce
an internal reset for both rising and falling VDD. To take
advantage of the POR, just tie the MCLR/VPP pin
directly (or through a resistor) to VDD. This will eliminate
external RC components usually needed to create
Power-on Reset. A minimum rise time for VDD is
required. See Electrical Specifications for details.
4.1.2
POWER-UP TIMER (PWRT)
The Power-up Timer provides a fixed 96 ms time-out
(nominal) on power-up. This occurs from rising edge of
the POR signal and after the first rising edge of MCLR
(detected high). The Power-up Timer operates on an
internal RC oscillator. The chip is kept in RESET as
long as the PWRT is active. In most cases the PWRT
delay allows the VDD to rise to an acceptable level.
The power-up time delay will vary from chip to chip and
to VDD and temperature. See DC parameters for
details.

4.1.3
OSCILLATOR START-UP TIMER (OST)
The Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) provides a 1024
oscillator cycle (1024TOSC) delay after MCLR is
detected high or a wake-up from SLEEP event occurs.

The OST time-out is invoked only for XT and LF oscillator modes on a Power-on Reset or a Wake-up from
SLEEP.
The OST counts the oscillator pulses on the
OSC1/CLKIN pin. The counter only starts incrementing
after the amplitude of the signal reaches the oscillator
input thresholds. This delay allows the crystal oscillator
or resonator to stabilize before the device exits reset.
The length of time-out is a function of the crystal/resonator frequency.
4.1.4
TIME-OUT SEQUENCE
On power-up the time-out sequence is as follows: First
the internal POR signal goes high when the POR trip
point is reached. If MCLR is high, then both the OST
and PWRT timers start. In general the PWRT time-out
is longer, except with low frequency crystals/resonators. The total time-out also varies based on oscillator
configuration. Table 4-1 shows the times that are associated with the oscillator configuration. Figure 4-2 and
Figure 4-3 display these time-out sequences.
If the device voltage is not within electrical specification
at the end of a time-out, the MCLR/VPP pin must be
held low until the voltage is within the device specification. The use of an external RC delay is sufficient for
many of these applications.
TIME-OUT IN VARIOUS
SITUATIONS
The time-out sequence begins from the first rising edge
of MCLR.
Table 4-3 shows the reset conditions for some special
registers, while Table 4-4 shows the initialization conditions for all the registers. The shaded registers (in
Table 4-4) are for all devices except the PIC17C42. In
the PIC17C42, the PRODH and PRODL registers are
general purpose RAM.

This figure shows in greater detail the timings involved

Note 1: An external Power-on Reset circuit is
required only if VDD power-up time is too
slow. The diode D helps discharge the
capacitor quickly when VDD powers
down.
2: R < 40 kΩ is recommended to ensure
that the voltage drop across R does not
exceed 0.2V (max. leakage current spec.
on the MCLR/VPP pin is 5 µA). A larger
voltage drop will degrade VIH level on the
MCLR/VPP pin.
3: R1 = 100Ω to 1 kΩ will limit any current
flowing into MCLR from external capacitor C in the event of MCLR/VPP pin
breakdown due to Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) or (Electrical Overstress)
EOS.

INTERRUPTS
The PIC17C4X devices have 11 sources of interrupt:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
External interrupt from the RA0/INT pin
Change on RB7:RB0 pins
TMR0 Overflow
TMR1 Overflow
TMR2 Overflow
TMR3 Overflow
USART Transmit buffer empty
USART Receive buffer full
Capture1
Capture2
T0CKI edge occurred
There are four registers used in the control and status
of interrupts. These are:
•
•
•
•
CPUSTA
INTSTA
PIE
PIR
The CPUSTA register contains the GLINTD bit. This is
the Global Interrupt Disable bit. When this bit is set, all
interrupts are disabled. This bit is part of the controller
core functionality and is described in the Memory Organization section.
When an interrupt is responded to, the GLINTD bit is
automatically set to disable any further interrupt, the
return address is pushed onto the stack and the PC is
loaded with the interrupt vector address. There are four
interrupt vectors. Each vector address is for a specific
interrupt source (except the peripheral interrupts which
have the same vector address). These sources are:
•
•
•
•
External interrupt from the RA0/INT pin
TMR0 Overflow
T0CKI edge occurred
Any peripheral interrupt
When program execution vectors to one of these interrupt vector addresses (except for the peripheral interrupt address), the interrupt flag bit is automatically
cleared. Vectoring to the peripheral interrupt vector
address does not automatically clear the source of the
interrupt. In the peripheral interrupt service routine, the
source(s) of the interrupt can be determined by testing
the interrupt flag bits. The interrupt flag bit(s) must be
cleared in software before re-enabling interrupts to
avoid infinite interrupt requests.
All of the individual interrupt flag bits will be set regardless of the status of their corresponding mask bit or the
GLINTD bit.
For external interrupt events, there will be an interrupt
latency. For two cycle instructions, the latency could be
one instruction cycle longer.
The “return from interrupt” instruction, RETFIE, can be
used to mark the end of the interrupt service routine.
When this instruction is executed, the stack is
“POPed”, and the GLINTD bit is cleared (to re-enable
interrupts).

Interrupt Status Register (INTSTA)
The Interrupt Status/Control register (INTSTA) records
the individual interrupt requests in flag bits, and contains the individual interrupt enable bits (not for the
peripherals).
The PEIF bit is a read only, bit wise OR of all the peripheral flag bits in the PIR register (Figure 5-4).
Note:
T0IF, INTF, T0CKIF, or PEIF will be set by
the specified condition, even if the corresponding interrupt enable bit is clear (interrupt disabled) or the GLINTD bit is set (all
interrupts disabled).
Care should be taken when clearing any of the INTSTA
register enable bits when interrupts are enabled
(GLINTD is clear). If any of the INTSTA flag bits (T0IF,
INTF, T0CKIF, or PEIF) are set in the same instruction
cycle as the corresponding interrupt enable bit is
cleared, the device will vector to the reset address
(0x00).
When disabling any of the INTSTA enable bits, the
GLINTD bit should be set (disabled).

Interrupt Operation
Global Interrupt Disable bit, GLINTD (CPUSTA<4>),
enables all unmasked interrupts (if clear) or disables all
interrupts (if set). Individual interrupts can be disabled
through their corresponding enable bits in the INTSTA
register. Peripheral interrupts need either the global
peripheral enable PEIE bit disabled, or the specific
peripheral enable bit disabled. Disabling the peripherals via the global peripheral enable bit, disables all
peripheral interrupts. GLINTD is set on reset (interrupts
disabled).
The RETFIE instruction allows returning from interrupt
and re-enable interrupts at the same time.
Note 1: Individual interrupt flag bits are set regardless of the status of their corresponding
mask bit or the GLINTD bit.
Note 2: When disabling any of the INTSTA enable
bits, the GLINTD bit should be set
(disabled).
Note 3: For the PIC17C42 only:
If an interrupt occurs while the Global Interrupt Disable (GLINTD) bit is being set, the
GLINTD bit may unintentionally be reenabled by the user’s Interrupt Service
Routine (the RETFIE instruction). The
events that would cause this to occur are:
When an interrupt is responded to, the GLINTD bit is
automatically set to disable any further interrupt, the
return address is pushed onto the stack and the PC is
loaded with interrupt vector. There are four interrupt
vectors to reduce interrupt latency.
The peripheral interrupt vector has multiple interrupt
sources. Once in the peripheral interrupt service routine, the source(s) of the interrupt can be determined by
polling the interrupt flag bits. The peripheral interrupt
flag bit(s) must be cleared in software before reenabling interrupts to avoid continuous interrupts.
The PIC17C4X devices have four interrupt vectors.
These vectors and their hardware priority are shown in
Table 5-1. If two enabled interrupts occur “at the same
time”, the interrupt of the highest priority will be serviced first. This means that the vector address of that
interrupt will be loaded into the program counter (PC).

An interrupt occurs simultaneously
with an instruction that sets the
GLINTD bit.
2.
The program branches to the Interrupt
vector and executes the Interrupt Service Routine.
3.
The Interrupt Service Routine completes with the execution of the RETFIE instruction. This causes the
GLINTD bit to be cleared (enables
interrupts), and the program returns to
the instruction after the one which was
meant to disable interrupts.

RA0/INT Interrupt
5.7
The external interrupt on the RA0/INT pin is edge triggered. Either the rising edge, if INTEDG bit
(T0STA<7>) is set, or the falling edge, if INTEDG bit is
clear. When a valid edge appears on the RA0/INT pin,
the INTF bit (INTSTA<4>) is set. This interrupt can be
disabled by clearing the INTE control bit (INTSTA<0>).
The INT interrupt can wake the processor from SLEEP.
See Section 14.4 for details on SLEEP operation.
5.6
The external interrupt on the RA1/T0CKI pin is edge
triggered. Either the rising edge, if the T0SE bit
(T0STA<6>) is set, or the falling edge, if the T0SE bit is
clear. When a valid edge appears on the RA1/T0CKI
pin, the T0CKIF bit (INTSTA<6>) is set. This interrupt
can be disabled by clearing the T0CKIE control bit
(INTSTA<2>). The T0CKI interrupt can wake up the
processor from SLEEP. See Section 14.4 for details on
SLEEP operation.
TMR0 Interrupt
5.8
An overflow (FFFFh → 0000h) in TMR0 will set the
T0IF (INTSTA<5>) bit. The interrupt can be enabled/
disabled by setting/clearing the T0IE control bit
(INTSTA<1>). For operation of the Timer0 module, see
Section 11.0.
FIGURE 5-5:
T0CKI Interrupt
Peripheral Interrupt
The peripheral interrupt flag indicates that at least one
of the peripheral interrupts occurred (PEIF is set). The
PEIF bit is a read only bit, and is a bit wise OR of all the
flag bits in the PIR register AND’ed with the corresponding enable bits in the PIE register. Some of the
peripheral interrupts can wake the processor from
SLEEP. See Section 14.4 for details on SLEEP operation.

Context Saving During Interrupts
During an interrupt, only the returned PC value is saved
on the stack. Typically, users may wish to save key registers during an interrupt; e.g. WREG, ALUSTA and the
BSR registers. This requires implementation in software.
EXAMPLE 5-1:
Example 5-1 shows the saving and restoring of information for an interrupt service routine. The PUSH and
POP routines could either be in each interrupt service
routine or could be subroutines that were called.
Depending on the application, other registers may also
need to be saved, such as PCLATH.
SAVING STATUS AND WREG IN RAM
;
; The addresses that are used to store the CPUSTA and WREG values
; must be in the data memory address range of 18h - 1Fh. Up to
; 8 locations can be saved and restored using
; the MOVFP instruction. This instruction neither affects the status
; bits, nor corrupts the WREG register.

MEMORY ORGANIZATION
There are two memory blocks in the PIC17C4X; program memory and data memory. Each block has its
own bus, so that access to each block can occur during
the same oscillator cycle.
The data memory can further be broken down into General Purpose RAM and the Special Function Registers
(SFRs). The operation of the SFRs that control the
“core” are described here. The SFRs used to control
the peripheral modules are described in the section discussing each individual peripheral module.

PROGRAM MEMORY OPERATION
The PIC17C4X can operate in one of four possible program memory configurations. The configuration is
selected by two configuration bits. The possible modes
are:
FFFh
(PIC17C43
PIC17CR43)
Microprocessor
Microcontroller
Extended Microcontroller
Protected Microcontroller
1FFFh
(PIC17C44)
The microcontroller and protected microcontroller
modes only allow internal execution. Any access
beyond the program memory reads unknown data.
The protected microcontroller mode also enables the
code protection feature.
The extended microcontroller mode accesses both the
internal program memory as well as external program
memory. Execution automatically switches between
internal and external memory. The 16-bits of address
allow a program memory range of 64K-words.

The microprocessor mode only accesses the external
program memory. The on-chip program memory is
ignored. The 16-bits of address allow a program memory range of 64K-words. Microprocessor mode is the
default mode of an unprogrammed device.
The different modes allow different access to the configuration bits, test memory, and boot ROM. Table 6-1
lists which modes can access which areas in memory.
Test Memory and Boot Memory are not required for
normal operation of the device. Care should be taken to
ensure that no unintended branches occur to these
areas.

EXTERNAL MEMORY INTERFACE
In extended microcontroller mode, when the device is
executing out of internal memory, the control signals
will continue to be active. That is, they indicate the
action that is occurring in the internal memory. The
external memory access is ignored.
When either microprocessor or extended microcontroller mode is selected, PORTC, PORTD and PORTE are
configured as the system bus. PORTC and PORTD are
the multiplexed address/data bus and PORTE is for the
control signals. External components are needed to
demultiplex the address and data. This can be done as
shown in Figure 6-4. The waveforms of address and
data are shown in Figure 6-3. For complete timings,
please refer to the electrical specification section.

The system bus requires that there is no bus conflict
(minimal leakage), so the output value (address) will be
capacitively held at the desired value.
As the speed of the processor increases, external
EPROM memory with faster access time must be used.

Data Memory Organization
6.2.1
GENERAL PURPOSE REGISTER (GPR)
Data memory is partitioned into two areas. The first is
the General Purpose Registers (GPR) area, while the
second is the Special Function Registers (SFR) area.
The SFRs control the operation of the device.
All devices have some amount of GPR area. The GPRs
are 8-bits wide. When the GPR area is greater than
232, it must be banked to allow access to the additional
memory space.
Portions of data memory are banked, this is for both
areas. The GPR area is banked to allow greater than
232 bytes of general purpose RAM. SFRs are for the
registers that control the peripheral functions. Banking
requires the use of control bits for bank selection.
These control bits are located in the Bank Select Register (BSR). If an access is made to a location outside
this banked region, the BSR bits are ignored.
Figure 6-5 shows the data memory map organization
for the PIC17C42 and Figure 6-6 for all of the other
PIC17C4X devices.
Only the PIC17C43 and PIC17C44 devices have
banked memory in the GPR area. To facilitate switching
between these banks, the MOVLR bank instruction has
been added to the instruction set. GPRs are not initialized by a Power-on Reset and are unchanged on all
other resets.
Instructions MOVPF and MOVFP provide the means to
move values from the peripheral area (“P”) to any location in the register file (“F”), and vice-versa. The definition of the “P” range is from 0h to 1Fh, while the “F”
range is 0h to FFh. The “P” range has six more locations than peripheral registers (eight locations for the
PIC17C42 device) which can be used as General Purpose Registers. This can be useful in some applications
where variables need to be copied to other locations in
the general purpose RAM (such as saving status information during an interrupt).
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 here, while those related to a
peripheral feature are described in the section for each
peripheral feature.
6.2.2
SPECIAL FUNCTION REGISTERS (SFR)
The SFRs are used by the CPU and peripheral functions to control the operation of the device (Figure 6-5
and Figure 6-6). These registers are static RAM.
The peripheral registers are in the banked portion of
memory, while the core registers are in the unbanked
region. To facilitate switching between the peripheral
banks, the MOVLB bank instruction has been provided.
The entire data memory can be accessed either directly
or indirectly through file select registers FSR0 and
FSR1 (Section 6.4). Indirect addressing uses the
appropriate control bits of the BSR for accesses into the
banked areas of data memory. The BSR is explained in
greater detail in Section 6.8.

ALU STATUS REGISTER (ALUSTA)
The ALUSTA register contains the status bits of the
Arithmetic and Logic Unit and the mode control bits for
the indirect addressing register.
As with all the other registers, the ALUSTA register can
be the destination for any instruction. If the ALUSTA
register is the destination for an instruction that affects
the Z, DC or C bits, then the write to these three bits is
disabled. These bits are set or cleared according to the
device logic. Therefore, the result of an instruction with
the ALUSTA register as destination may be different
than intended.
For example, CLRF ALUSTA will clear the upper four bits
and set the Z bit. This leaves the ALUSTA register as
0000u1uu (where u = unchanged).
FIGURE 6-7:
It is recommended, therefore, that only BCF, BSF, SWAPF
and MOVWF instructions be used to alter the ALUSTA
register because these instructions do not affect any
status bit. To see how other instructions affect the status bits, see the “Instruction Set Summary.”
Note 1: The C and DC bits operate as a borrow
out bit in subtraction. See the SUBLW and
SUBWF instructions for examples.
Note 2: The overflow bit will be set if the 2’s complement result exceeds +127 or is less
than -128.
Arithmetic and Logic Unit (ALU) is capable of carrying
out arithmetic or logical operations on two operands or
a single operand. All single operand instructions operate either on the WREG register or a file register. For
two operand instructions, one of the operands is the
WREG register and the other one is either a file register
or an 8-bit immediate constant.

CPU STATUS REGISTER (CPUSTA)
The CPUSTA register contains the status and control
bits for the CPU. This register is used to globally
enable/disable interrupts. If only a specific interrupt is
desired to be enabled/disabled, please refer to the
INTerrupt STAtus (INTSTA) register and the Peripheral
Interrupt Enable (PIE) register. This register also indicates if the stack is available and contains the
Power-down (PD) and Time-out (TO) bits. The TO, PD,
and STKAV bits are not writable. These bits are set and
cleared according to device logic. Therefore, the result
of an instruction with the CPUSTA register as destination may be different than intended.

Stack Operation
6.4
Indirect Addressing
The PIC17C4X devices have a 16 x 16-bit wide hardware stack (Figure 6-1). The stack is not part of either
the program or data memory space, and the stack
pointer is neither readable nor writable. The PC is
“PUSHed” onto the stack when a CALL instruction is
executed or an interrupt is acknowledged. The stack is
“POPed” in the event of a RETURN, RETLW, or a RETFIE
instruction execution. PCLATH is not affected by a
“PUSH” or a “POP” operation.
Indirect addressing is a mode of addressing data
memory where the data memory address in the
instruction is not fixed. That is, the register that is to be
read or written can be modified by the program. This
can be useful for data tables in the data memory.
Figure 6-10 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.
The stack operates as a circular buffer, with the stack
pointer initialized to '0' after all resets. There is a stack
available bit (STKAV) to allow software to ensure that
the stack has not overflowed. The STKAV bit is set after
a device reset. When the stack pointer equals Fh,
STKAV is cleared. When the stack pointer rolls over
from Fh to 0h, the STKAV bit will be held clear until a
device reset.
Example 6-1 shows the use of indirect addressing to
clear RAM in a minimum number of instructions. A
similar concept could be used to move a defined number of bytes (block) of data to the USART transmit register (TXREG). The starting address of the block of
data to be transmitted could easily be modified by the
program.
FIGURE 6-10: INDIRECT ADDRESSING
Note 1: There is not a status bit for stack underflow. The STKAV bit can be used to detect
the underflow which results in the stack
pointer being at the top of stack.
Note 2: There are no instruction mnemonics
called PUSH or POP. These are actions
that occur from the execution of the CALL,
RETURN, RETLW, and RETFIE instructions, or the vectoring to an interrupt vector.
Note 3: After a reset, if a “POP” operation occurs
before a “PUSH” operation, the STKAV bit
will be cleared. This will appear as if the
stack is full (underflow has occurred). If a
“PUSH” operation occurs next (before
another “POP”), the STKAV bit will be
locked clear. Only a device reset will
cause this bit to set.

After the device is “PUSHed” sixteen times (without a

PIC17C4X
6.4.1
INDIRECT ADDRESSING REGISTERS
The PIC17C4X has four registers for indirect addressing. These registers are:
A simple program to clear RAM from 20h - FFh is
shown in Example 6-1.
EXAMPLE 6-1:
• INDF0 and FSR0
• INDF1 and FSR1
Registers INDF0 and INDF1 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. The
FSR is an 8-bit register and allows addressing anywhere in the 256-byte data memory address range.
For banked memory, the bank of memory accessed is
specified by the value in the BSR.
If file INDF0 (or INDF1) itself is read indirectly via an
FSR, all '0's are read (Zero bit is set). Similarly, if
INDF0 (or INDF1) is written to indirectly, the operation
will be equivalent to a NOP, and the status bits are not
affected.
6.4.2
INDIRECT ADDRESSING OPERATION
The indirect addressing capability has been enhanced
over that of the PIC16CXX family. There are two control bits associated with each FSR register. These two
bits configure the FSR register to:
• Auto-decrement the value (address) in the FSR
after an indirect access
• Auto-increment the value (address) in the FSR
after an indirect access
• No change to the value (address) in the FSR after
an indirect access
These control bits are located in the ALUSTA register.
The FSR1 register is controlled by the FS3:FS2 bits
and FSR0 is controlled by the FS1:FS0 bits.
When using the auto-increment or auto-decrement
features, the effect on the FSR is not reflected in the
ALUSTA register. For example, if the indirect address
causes the FSR to equal '0', the Z bit will not be set.

Table Pointer (TBLPTRL and
TBLPTRH)
File registers TBLPTRL and TBLPTRH form a 16-bit
pointer to address the 64K program memory space.
The table pointer is used by instructions TABLWT and
TABLRD.
The TABLRD and the TABLWT instructions allow transfer of data between program and data space. The table
pointer serves as the 16-bit address of the data word
within the program memory. For a more complete
description of these registers and the operation of Table
Reads and Table Writes, see Section 7.0.
6.6
Table Latch (TBLATH, TBLATL)
The table latch (TBLAT) is a 16-bit register, with
TBLATH and TBLATL referring to the high and low
bytes of the register. It is not mapped into data or program memory. The table latch is used as a temporary
holding latch during data transfer between program and
data memory (see descriptions of instructions TABLRD,
TABLWT, TLRD and TLWT). For a more complete
description of these registers and the operation of Table
Reads and Table Writes, see Section 7.0.
If the FSR register contains a value of 0h, an indirect
read will read 0h (Zero bit is set) while an indirect write
will be equivalent to a NOP (status bits are not
affected).
Indirect addressing allows single cycle data transfers
within the entire data space. This is possible with the
use of the MOVPF and MOVFP instructions, where either
'p' or 'f' is specified as INDF0 (or INDF1).
If the source or destination of the indirect address is in
banked memory, the location accessed will be determined by the value in the BSR.

Program Counter Module
Using Figure 6-11, the operations of the PC and
PCLATH for different instructions are as follows:
The Program Counter (PC) is a 16-bit register. PCL, the
low byte of the PC, is mapped in the data memory. PCL
is readable and writable just as is any other register.
PCH is the high byte of the PC and is not directly
addressable. Since PCH is not mapped in data or program memory, an 8-bit register PCLATH (PC high latch)
is used as a holding latch for the high byte of the PC.
PCLATH is mapped into data memory. The user can
read or write PCH through PCLATH.
The 16-bit wide PC is incremented after each instruction fetch during Q1 unless:
• Modified by GOTO, CALL, LCALL, RETURN, RETLW,
or RETFIE instruction
• Modified by an interrupt response
• Due to destination write to PCL by an instruction
“Skips” are equivalent to a forced NOP cycle at the
skipped address.

The read-modify-write only affects the PCL with the
result. PCH is loaded with the value in the PCLATH.
For example, ADDWF PCL will result in a jump within the
current page. If PC = 03F0h, WREG = 30h and
PCLATH = 03h before instruction, PC = 0320h after the
instruction. To accomplish a true 16-bit computed jump,
the user needs to compute the 16-bit destination
address, write the high byte to PCLATH and then write
the low value to PCL.

Bank Select Register (BSR)
For the PIC17C43, PIC17CR43, and PIC17C44
devices, the need for a large general purpose memory
space dictated a general purpose RAM banking
scheme. The upper nibble of the BSR selects the currently active general purpose RAM bank. To assist this,
a MOVLR bank instruction has been provided in the
instruction set.
The BSR is used to switch between banks in the data
memory area (Figure 6-13). In the PIC17C42,
PIC17CR42, and PIC17C42A only the lower nibble is
implemented. While in the PIC17C43, PIC17CR43,
and PIC17C44 devices, the entire byte is implemented.
The lower nibble is used to select the peripheral register bank. The upper nibble is used to select the general
purpose memory bank.
If the currently selected bank is not implemented (such
as Bank 13), any read will read all '0's. Any write is completed to the bit bucket and the ALU status bits will be
set/cleared as appropriate.
All the Special Function Registers (SFRs) are mapped
into the data memory space. In order to accommodate
the large number of registers, a banking scheme has
been used. A segment of the SFRs, from address 10h
to address 17h, is banked. The lower nibble of the bank
select register (BSR) selects the currently active
“peripheral bank.” Effort has been made to group the
peripheral registers of related functionality in one bank.
However, it will still be necessary to switch from bank
to bank in order to address all peripherals related to a
single task. To assist this, a MOVLB bank instruction is
in the instruction set.
Note:
Registers in Bank 15 in the Special Function Register area, are reserved for
Microchip use. Reading of registers in this
bank may cause random values to be read.

TABLE READS AND TABLE
WRITES
FIGURE 7-2:
The PIC17C4X has four instructions that allow the processor to move data from the data memory space to
the program memory space, and vice versa. Since the
program memory space is 16-bits wide and the data
memory space is 8-bits wide, two operations are
required to move 16-bit values to/from the data memory.
The TLWT t,f and TABLWT t,i,f instructions are
used to write data from the data memory space to the
program memory space. The TLRD t,f and TABLRD
t,i,f instructions are used to write data from the program memory space to the data memory space.
The program memory can be internal or external. For
the program memory access to be external, the device
needs to be operating in extended microcontroller or
microprocessor mode.
Figure 7-1 through Figure 7-4 show the operation of
these four instructions.

Table Writes to Internal Memory
7.1
7.1.1
An interrupt source or reset are the only events that
terminate a long write operation. Terminating the long
write from an interrupt source requires that the interrupt enable and flag bits are set. The GLINTD bit only
enables the vectoring to the interrupt address.
A table write operation to internal memory causes a
long write operation. The long write is necessary for
programming the internal EPROM. Instruction execution is halted while in a long write cycle. The long write
will be terminated by any enabled interrupt. To ensure
that the EPROM location has been well programmed,
a minimum programming time is required (see specification #D114 ). Having only one interrupt enabled to
terminate the long write ensures that no unintentional
interrupts will prematurely terminate the long write.
If the T0CKI, RA0/INT, or TMR0 interrupt source is
used to terminate the long write; the interrupt flag, of
the highest priority enabled interrupt, will terminate the
long write and automatically be cleared.
The sequence of events for programming an internal
program memory location should be:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Note 1: If an interrupt is pending, the TABLWT is
aborted (an NOP is executed). The
highest priority pending interrupt, from
the T0CKI, RA0/INT, or TMR0 sources
that is enabled, has its flag cleared.
Disable all interrupt sources, except the source
to terminate EPROM program write.
Raise MCLR/VPP pin to the programming voltage.
Clear the WDT.
Do the table write. The interrupt will terminate
the long write.
Verify the memory location (table read).
Note:
TERMINATING LONG WRITES
Note 2: If the interrupt is not being used for the
program write timing, the interrupt
should be disabled. This will ensure that
the interrupt is not lost, nor will it terminate the long write prematurely.
If a peripheral interrupt source is used to terminate the
long write, the interrupt enable and flag bits must be
set. The interrupt flag will not be automatically cleared
upon the vectoring to the interrupt vector address.
Programming requirements must be met.
See timing specification in electrical specifications for the desired device. Violating
these specifications (including temperature) may result in EPROM locations that
are not fully programmed and may lose
their state over time.
If the GLINTD bit is cleared prior to the long write,
when the long write is terminated, the program will
branch to the interrupt vector.
If the GLINTD bit is set prior to the long write, when
the long write is terminated, the program will not vector
to the interrupt address.

Table Writes to External Memory
7.2.2
Table writes to external memory are always two-cycle
instructions. The second cycle writes the data to the
external memory location. The sequence of events for
an external memory write are the same for an internal
write.
TABLE WRITE CODE
The “i” operand of the TABLWT instruction can specify
that the value in the 16-bit TBLPTR register is automatically incremented for the next write. In
Example 7-1, the TBLPTR register is not automatically
incremented.
EXAMPLE 7-1:
Note:
If an interrupt is pending or occurs during
the TABLWT, the two cycle table write
completes. The RA0/INT, TMR0, or T0CKI
interrupt flag is automatically cleared or
the pending peripheral interrupt is
acknowledged.

Table Reads
EXAMPLE 7-2:
The table read allows the program memory to be read.
This allows constant data to be stored in the program
memory space, and retrieved into data memory when
needed. Example 7-2 reads the 16-bit value at program memory address TBLPTR. After the dummy byte
has been read from the TABLATH, the TABLATH is
loaded with the 16-bit data from program memory
address TBLPTR + 1. The first read loads the data into
the latch, and can be considered a dummy read
(unknown data loaded into 'f'). INDF0 should be configured for either auto-increment or auto-decrement.

HARDWARE MULTIPLIER
Example 8-2 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.
All PIC17C4X devices except the PIC17C42, have an
8 x 8 hardware multiplier included in the ALU of the
device. 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
(PRODH:PRODL). The multiplier does not affect any
flags in the ALUSTA register.

Making the 8 x 8 multiplier execute in a single cycle

9.0
I/O PORTS
The PIC17C4X devices have five I/O ports, PORTA
through PORTE. PORTB through PORTE have a corresponding Data Direction Register (DDR), which is used
to configure the port pins as inputs or outputs. These
five ports are made up of 33 I/O pins. Some of these
ports pins are multiplexed with alternate functions.
PORTC, PORTD, and PORTE are multiplexed with the
system bus. These pins are configured as the system
bus when the device’s configuration bits are selected to
Microprocessor or Extended Microcontroller modes. In
the two other microcontroller modes, these pins are
general purpose I/O.
PORTA and PORTB are multiplexed with the peripheral
features of the device. These peripheral features are:
•
•
•
•
•
Timer modules
Capture module
PWM module
USART/SCI module
External Interrupt pin
PORTA is a 6-bit wide latch. PORTA does not have a
corresponding Data Direction Register (DDR).
Reading PORTA reads the status of the pins.
The RA1 pin is multiplexed with TMR0 clock input, and
RA4 and RA5 are multiplexed with the USART functions. The control of RA4 and RA5 as outputs is automatically configured by the USART module.
9.1.1
• PWM module
• USART/SCI module
When a pin is automatically configured as an output by
a peripheral module, the pins data direction (DDR) bit
is unknown. After disabling the peripheral module, the
user should re-initialize the DDR bit to the desired configuration.
The other peripheral modules (which require an input)
must have their data direction bit configured appropriately.
USING RA2, RA3 AS OUTPUTS
The RA2 and RA3 pins are open drain outputs. To use
the RA2 or the RA3 pin(s) as output(s), simply write to
the PORTA register the desired value. A '0' will cause
the pin to drive low, while a '1' will cause the pin to float
(hi-impedance). An external pull-up resistor should be
used to pull the pin high. Writes to PORTA will not affect
the other pins.
Note:
When some of these peripheral modules are turned on,
the port pin will automatically configure to the alternate
function. The modules that do this are:
Note:
PORTA Register
9.1
When using the RA2 or RA3 pin(s) as output(s), read-modify-write instructions (such
as BCF, BSF, BTG) on PORTA are not recommended.
Such operations read the port pins, do the
desired operation, and then write this value
to the data latch. This may inadvertently
cause the RA2 or RA3 pins to switch from
input to output (or vice-versa).
It is recommended to use a shadow register for PORTA. Do the bit operations on this
shadow register and then move it to
PORTA.
FIGURE 9-1:
RA0 AND RA1 BLOCK

A pin that is a peripheral input, can be configured as an output (DDRx<y> is cleared).
The peripheral events will be determined
by the action output on the port pin.

PORTB and DDRB Registers
This interrupt can wake the device from SLEEP. The
user, in the interrupt service routine, can clear the interrupt by:
PORTB is an 8-bit wide bi-directional port. The corresponding data direction register is DDRB. A '1' in DDRB
configures the corresponding port pin as an input. A '0'
in the DDRB register configures the corresponding port
pin as an output. Reading PORTB reads the status of
the pins, whereas writing to it will write to the port latch.
a)
b)
A mismatch condition will continue to set the RBIF bit.
Reading then writing PORTB will end the mismatch
condition, and allow the RBIF bit to be cleared.
Each of the PORTB pins has a weak internal pull-up. A
single control bit can turn on all the pull-ups. This is
done by clearing the RBPU (PORTA<7>) bit. The weak
pull-up is automatically turned off when the port pin is
configured as an output. The pull-ups are enabled on
any reset.
This interrupt on mismatch feature, together with software configurable pull-ups on this port, allows easy
interface to a key pad and make it possible for wake-up
on key-depression. For an example, refer to AN552 in
the Embedded Control Handbook.
PORTB also has an interrupt on change feature. Only
pins configured as inputs can cause this interrupt to
occur (i.e. any RB7:RB0 pin configured as an output is
excluded from the interrupt on change comparison).
The input pins (of RB7:RB0) are compared with the
value in the PORTB data latch. The “mismatch” outputs
of RB7:RB0 are OR’ed together to generate the
PORTB Interrupt Flag RBIF (PIR<7>).
FIGURE 9-4:
Read-Write PORTB (such as; MOVPF PORTB,
PORTB). This will end mismatch condition.
Then, clear the RBIF bit.
The interrupt on change feature is recommended for
wake-up on operations where PORTB is only used for
the interrupt on change feature and key depression
operation.

PORTC and DDRC Registers
Example 9-2 shows the instruction sequence to initialize PORTC. The Bank Select Register (BSR) must be
selected to Bank 1 for the port to be initialized.
PORTC is an 8-bit bi-directional port. The corresponding data direction register is DDRC. A '1' in DDRC configures the corresponding port pin as an input. A '0' in
the DDRC register configures the corresponding port
pin as an output. Reading PORTC reads the status of
the pins, whereas writing to it will write to the port latch.
PORTC is multiplexed with the system bus. When
operating as the system bus, PORTC is the low order
byte of the address/data bus (AD7:AD0). The timing for
the system bus is shown in the Electrical Characteristics section.

PORTD and DDRD Registers
Example 9-3 shows the instruction sequence to initialize PORTD. The Bank Select Register (BSR) must be

PORTD is an 8-bit bi-directional port. The corresponding data direction register is DDRD. A '1' in DDRD configures the corresponding port pin as an input. A '0' in
the DDRC register configures the corresponding port
pin as an output. Reading PORTD reads the status of
the pins, whereas writing to it will write to the port latch.
PORTD is multiplexed with the system bus. When
operating as the system bus, PORTD is the high order

PORTE AND DDRE REGISTER
Example 9-4 shows the instruction sequence to initialize PORTE. The Bank Select Register (BSR) must be
selected to Bank 1 for the port to be initialized.
PORTE is a 3-bit bi-directional port. The corresponding
data direction register is DDRE. A '1' in DDRE configures the corresponding port pin as an input. A '0' in the
DDRE register configures the corresponding port pin
as an output. Reading PORTE reads the status of the
pins, whereas writing to it will write to the port latch.
PORTE is multiplexed with the system bus. When
operating as the system bus, PORTE contains the control signals for the address/data bus (AD15:AD0).
These control signals are Address Latch Enable (ALE),
Output Enable (OE), and Write (WR). The control signals OE and WR are active low signals. The timing for
the system bus is shown in the Electrical Characteristics section.

I/O Programming Considerations
9.5.1
BI-DIRECTIONAL I/O PORTS
EXAMPLE 9-5:
Any instruction which writes, operates internally as a
read followed by a write operation. For example, the
BCF and BSF instructions read the register into the
CPU, execute the bit operation, and write the result
back to the register. Caution must be used when these
instructions are applied to a port with both inputs and
outputs defined. For example, a BSF operation on bit5
of PORTB will cause all eight bits of PORTB to be read
into the CPU. Then the BSF operation takes place on
bit5 and PORTB is written to the output latches. If
another bit of PORTB is used as a bi-directional I/O pin
(e.g. bit0) and it is defined as an input at this time, the
input signal present on the pin itself would be read into
the CPU and re-written to the data latch of this particular pin, overwriting the previous content. As long as the
pin stays in the input mode, no problem occurs. However, if bit0 is switched into output mode later on, the
content of the data latch may now be unknown.

Note:
Reading a port reads the values of the port pins. Writing
to the port register writes the value to the port latch.
When using read-modify-write instructions (BCF, BSF,
BTG, etc.) on a port, the value of the port pins is read,
the desired operation is performed with this value, and
the value is then written to the port latch.
9.5.2
Example 9-5 shows the effect of two sequential
read-modify-write instructions on an I/O port.
FIGURE 9-9:
A pin actively outputting a Low or High
should not be driven from external devices
in order to change the level on this pin (i.e.
“wired-or”, “wired-and”). The resulting high
output currents may damage the device.
SUCCESSIVE OPERATIONS ON I/O PORTS
The actual write to an I/O port happens at the end of an
instruction cycle, whereas for reading, the data must be
valid at the beginning of the instruction cycle (Figure 99). Therefore, care must be exercised if a write followed
by a read operation is carried out on the same I/O port.
The sequence of instructions should be such to allow
the pin voltage to stabilize (load dependent) before
executing the instruction that reads the values on that
I/O port. Otherwise, the previous state of that pin may
be read into the CPU rather than the “new” state. When
in doubt, it is better to separate these instructions with
a NOP or another instruction not accessing this I/O port.

OVERVIEW OF TIMER
RESOURCES
The PIC17C4X has four timer modules. Each module
can generate an interrupt to indicate that an event has
occurred. These timers are called:
• Timer0 - 16-bit timer with programmable 8-bit
prescaler
• Timer1 - 8-bit timer
• Timer2 - 8-bit timer
• Timer3 - 16-bit timer
For enhanced time-base functionality, two input Captures and two Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) outputs
are possible. The PWMs use the TMR1 and TMR2
resources and the input Captures use the TMR3
resource.
10.1
The Timer0 module also has a programmable prescaler option. The PS3:PS0 bits (T0STA<4:1>) determine the prescaler value. TMR0 can increment at the
following rates: 1:1, 1:2, 1:4, 1:8, 1:16, 1:32, 1:64,
1:128, 1:256.
When TImer0’s clock source is an external clock, the
Timer0 module can be selected to increment on either
the rising or falling edge.
Synchronization of the external clock occurs after the
prescaler. When the prescaler is used, the external
clock frequency may be higher then the device’s frequency. The maximum frequency is 50 MHz, given the
high and low time requirements of the clock.
Timer2 Overview
The TMR2 module is an 8-bit timer/counter with an 8bit period register (PR2). When the TMR2 value rolls
over from the period match value to 0h, the TMR2IF
flag is set, and an interrupt will be generated when
enabled. In counter mode, the clock comes from the
RB4/TCLK12 pin, which can also be selected to be the
clock for the TMR1 module.
TMR1 can be concatenated to TMR2 to form a 16-bit
timer. The TMR2 register is the MSB and TMR1 is the
LSB. When in the 16-bit timer mode, there is a corresponding 16-bit period register (PR2:PR1). When the
TMR2:TMR1 value rolls over from the period match
value to 0h, the TMR1IF flag is set, and an interrupt
will be generated when enabled.
10.4
Timer0 Overview
The Timer0 module is a simple 16-bit overflow counter.
The clock source can be either the internal system
clock (Fosc/4) or an external clock.
10.2
10.3
Timer3 Overview
The TImer3 module is a 16-bit timer/counter with a 16bit period register. When the TMR3H:TMR3L value
rolls over to 0h, the TMR3IF bit is set and an interrupt
will be generated when enabled. In counter mode, the
clock comes from the RB5/TCLK3 pin.
When operating in the dual capture mode, the period
registers become the second 16-bit capture register.
10.5
Role of the Timer/Counters
The timer modules are general purpose, but have dedicated resources associated with them. TImer1 and
Timer2 are the time-bases for the two Pulse Width
Modulation (PWM) outputs, while Timer3 is the timebase for the two input captures.
Timer1 Overview
The TImer0 module is an 8-bit timer/counter with an 8bit period register (PR1). When the TMR1 value rolls
over from the period match value to 0h, the TMR1IF
flag is set, and an interrupt will be generated when
enabled. In counter mode, the clock comes from the
RB4/TCLK12 pin, which can also be selected to be the
clock for the Timer2 module.
TMR1 can be concatenated to TMR2 to form a 16-bit
timer. The TMR1 register is the LSB and TMR2 is the
MSB. When in the 16-bit timer mode, there is a corresponding 16-bit period register (PR2:PR1). When the
TMR2:TMR1 value rolls over from the period match
value to 0h, the TMR1IF flag is set, and an interrupt
will be generated when enabled.

TIMER0
The Timer0 module consists of a 16-bit timer/counter,
TMR0. The high byte is TMR0H and the low byte is
TMR0L. A software programmable 8-bit prescaler
makes an effective 24-bit overflow timer. The clock
source is also software programmable as either the
internal instruction clock or the RA1/T0CKI pin. The
control bits for this module are in register T0STA
(Figure 11-1).

Timer0 Operation
11.2
When the T0CS (T0STA<5>) bit is set, TMR0 increments on the internal clock. When T0CS is clear, TMR0
increments on the external clock (RA1/T0CKI pin). The
external clock edge can be configured in software.
When the T0SE (T0STA<6>) bit is set, the timer will
increment on the rising edge of the RA1/T0CKI pin.
When T0SE is clear, the timer will increment on the falling edge of the RA1/T0CKI pin. The prescaler can be
programmed to introduce a prescale of 1:1 to 1:256.
The timer increments from 0000h to FFFFh and rolls
over to 0000h. On overflow, the TMR0 Interrupt Flag bit
(T0IF) is set. The TMR0 interrupt can be masked by
clearing the corresponding TMR0 Interrupt Enable bit
(T0IE). The TMR0 Interrupt Flag bit (T0IF) is automatically cleared when vectoring to the TMR0 interrupt vector.
Using Timer0 with External Clock
When the external clock input is used for Timer0, it is
synchronized with the internal phase clocks.
Figure 11-3 shows the synchronization of the external
clock. This synchronization is done after the prescaler.
The output of the prescaler (PSOUT) is sampled twice
in every instruction cycle to detect a rising or a falling
edge. The timing requirements for the external clock
are detailed in the electrical specification section for the
desired device.
11.2.1
DELAY FROM EXTERNAL CLOCK EDGE
Since the prescaler output is synchronized with the
internal clocks, there is a small delay from the time the
external clock edge occurs to the time TMR0 is actually
incremented. Figure 11-3 shows that this delay is
between 3TOSC and 7TOSC. Thus, for example, measuring the interval between two edges (e.g. period) will
be accurate within ±4TOSC (±121 ns @ 33 MHz).

Read/Write Consideration for TMR0
11.3
11.3.2
Since writing to either TMR0L or TMR0H will effectively
inhibit increment of that half of the TMR0 in the next
cycle (following write), but not inhibit increment of the
other half, the user must write to TMR0L first and
TMR0H next in two consecutive instructions, as shown
in Example 11-2. The interrupt must be disabled. Any
write to either TMR0L or TMR0H clears the prescaler.
Although TMR0 is a 16-bit timer/counter, only 8-bits at
a time can be read or written during a single instruction
cycle. Care must be taken during any read or write.
11.3.1
READING 16-BIT VALUE
The problem in reading the entire 16-bit value is that
after reading the low (or high) byte, its value may
change from FFh to 00h.
EXAMPLE 11-2: 16-BIT WRITE
Example 11-1 shows a 16-bit read. To ensure a proper
read, interrupts must be disabled during this routine.

Prescaler Assignments
Timer0 has an 8-bit prescaler. The prescaler assignment is fully under software control; i.e., it can be
changed “on the fly” during program execution. When
changing the prescaler assignment, clearing the prescaler is recommended before changing assignment.
The value of the prescaler is “unknown,” and assigning
a value that is less then the present value makes it difficult to take this unknown time into account.

TIMER1, TIMER2, TIMER3,
PWMS AND CAPTURES
The PIC17C4X has a wealth of timers and time-based
functions to ease the implementation of control applications. These time-base functions include two PWM outputs and two Capture inputs.
Timer1 and Timer2 are two 8-bit incrementing timers,
each with a period register (PR1 and PR2 respectively)
and separate overflow interrupt flags. Timer1 and
Timer2 can operate either as timers (increment on
internal Fosc/4 clock) or as counters (increment on falling edge of external clock on pin RB4/TCLK12). They
are also software configurable to operate as a single
16-bit timer. These timers are also used as the
time-base for the PWM (pulse width modulation) module.
Timer3 is a 16-bit timer/counter consisting of the
TMR3H and TMR3L registers. This timer has four other
associated registers. Two registers are used as a 16-bit
period register or a 16-bit Capture1 register
(PR3H/CA1H:PR3L/CA1L). The other two registers are
strictly the Capture2 registers (CA2H:CA2L). Timer3 is
the time-base for the two 16-bit captures.
TMR3 can be software configured to increment from
the internal system clock or from an external signal on
the RB5/TCLK3 pin.
Figure 12-1 and Figure 12-2 are the control registers
for the operation of Timer1, Timer2, and Timer3, as well
as PWM1, PWM2, Capture1, and Capture2.

12.1.1
TIMER1, TIMER2 IN 8-BIT MODE
12.1.1.1
Both Timer1 and Timer2 will operate in 8-bit mode
when the T16 bit is clear. These two timers can be independently configured to increment from the internal
instruction cycle clock or from an external clock source
on the RB4/TCLK12 pin. The timer clock source is configured by the TMRxCS bit (x = 1 for Timer1 or = 2 for
Timer2). When TMRxCS is clear, the clock source is
internal and increments once every instruction cycle
(Fosc/4). When TMRxCS is set, the clock source is the
RB4/TCLK12 pin, and the timer will increment on every
falling edge of the RB4/TCLK12 pin.
EXTERNAL CLOCK INPUT FOR TIMER1
OR TIMER2
When TMRxCS is set, the clock source is the
RB4/TCLK12 pin, and the timer will increment on every
falling edge on the RB4/TCLK12 pin. The TCLK12 input
is synchronized with internal phase clocks. This causes
a delay from the time a falling edge appears on TCLK12
to the time TMR1 or TMR2 is actually incremented. For
the external clock input timing requirements, see the
Electrical Specification section.
The timer increments from 00h until it equals the Period
register (PRx). It then resets to 00h at the next increment cycle. The timer interrupt flag is set when the timer
is reset. TMR1 and TMR2 have individual interrupt flag
bits. The TMR1 interrupt flag bit is latched into TMR1IF,
and the TMR2 interrupt flag bit is latched into TMR2IF.
Each timer also has a corresponding interrupt enable
bit (TMRxIE). The timer interrupt can be enabled by setting this bit and disabled by clearing this bit. For peripheral interrupts to be enabled, the Peripheral Interrupt
Enable bit must be enabled (PEIE is set) and global
interrupts must be enabled (GLINTD is cleared).
The timers can be turned on and off under software
control. When the Timerx On control bit (TMRxON) is
set, the timer increments from the clock source. When
TMRxON is cleared, the timer is turned off and cannot
cause the timer interrupt flag to be set.

TIMER1 & TIMER2 IN 16-BIT MODE
To select 16-bit mode, the T16 bit must be set. In this
mode TMR1 and TMR2 are concatenated to form a
16-bit timer (TMR2:TMR1). The 16-bit timer increments until it matches the 16-bit period register
(PR2:PR1). On the following timer clock, the timer
value is reset to 0h, and the TMR1IF bit is set.
EXTERNAL CLOCK INPUT FOR
TMR1:TMR2
When TMR1CS is set, the 16-bit TMR2:TMR1 increments on the falling edge of clock input TCLK12. The
input on the RB4/TCLK12 pin is sampled and synchronized by the internal phase clocks twice every instruction cycle. This causes a delay from the time a falling
edge appears on RB4/TCLK12 to the time
TMR2:TMR1 is actually incremented. For the external
clock input timing requirements, see the Electrical
Specification section.
When selecting the clock source for the16-bit timer, the
TMR1CS bit controls the entire 16-bit timer and
TMR2CS is a “don’t care.” When TMR1CS is clear, the
timer increments once every instruction cycle (Fosc/4).
When TMR1CS is set, the timer increments on every
falling edge of the RB4/TCLK12 pin. For the 16-bit timer
to increment, both TMR1ON and TMR2ON bits must be
set (Table 12-1).

USING PULSE WIDTH MODULATION
(PWM) OUTPUTS WITH TMR1 AND TMR2
Two high speed pulse width modulation (PWM) outputs
are provided. The PWM1 output uses Timer1 as its
time-base, while PWM2 may be software configured to
use either Timer1 or Timer2 as the time-base. The
PWM outputs are on the RB2/PWM1 and RB3/PWM2
pins.

Each PWM output has a maximum resolution of
10-bits. At 10-bit resolution, the PWM output frequency
is 24.4 kHz (@ 25 MHz clock) and at 8-bit resolution the
PWM output frequency is 97.7 kHz. The duty cycle of
the output can vary from 0% to 100%.
Figure 12-5 shows a simplified block diagram of the
PWM module. The duty cycle register is double buffered for glitch free operation. Figure 12-6 shows how a
glitch could occur if the duty cycle registers were not

The user needs to set the PWM1ON bit (TCON2<4>)
to enable the PWM1 output. When the PWM1ON bit is
set, the RB2/PWM1 pin is configured as PWM1 output
and forced as an output irrespective of the data direction bit (DDRB<2>). When the PWM1ON bit is clear,
the pin behaves as a port pin and its direction is controlled by its data direction bit (DDRB<2>). Similarly,
the PWM2ON (TCON2<5>) bit controls the configuration of the RB3/PWM2 pin.

12.1.3.1
PWM PERIODS
The period of the PWM1 output is determined by
Timer1 and its period register (PR1). The period of the
PWM2 output can be software configured to use either
Timer1 or Timer2 as the time-base. When TM2PW2 bit
(PW2DCL<5>) is clear, the time-base is determined by
TMR1 and PR1. When TM2PW2 is set, the time-base
is determined by Timer2 and PR2.
Running two different PWM outputs on two different
timers allows different PWM periods. Running both
PWMs from Timer1 allows the best use of resources by
freeing Timer2 to operate as an 8-bit timer. Timer1 and
Timer2 can not be used as a 16-bit timer if either PWM
is being used.
The PWM periods can be calculated as follows:
period of PWM1 =[(PR1) + 1] x 4TOSC
The duty cycle of PWMx is determined by the 10-bit
value DCx<9:0>. The upper 8-bits are from register
PWxDCH and the lower 2-bits are from PWxDCL<7:6>
(PWxDCH:PWxDCL<7:6>). Table 12-3 shows the
maximum PWM frequency (FPWM) given the value in
the period register.
The number of bits of resolution that the PWM can
achieve depends on the operation frequency of the
device as well as the PWM frequency (FPWM).

If DCx = 0, then the duty cycle is zero. If PRx =

four Q-clock (depending on the state of the
PWxDCL<7:6> bits). For a Duty Cycle to be 100%, the
PWxDCH value must be greater then the PRx value.

PWM INTERRUPTS
The PWM module makes use of TMR1 or TMR2 interrupts. A timer interrupt is generated when TMR1 or
TMR2 equals its period register and is cleared to zero.
This interrupt also marks the beginning of a PWM
cycle. The user can write new duty cycle values before
the timer roll-over. The TMR1 interrupt is latched into
the TMR1IF bit and the TMR2 interrupt is latched into
the TMR2IF bit. These flags must be cleared in software.
12.1.3.3
EXTERNAL CLOCK SOURCE
The PWMs will operate regardless of the clock source
of the timer. The use of an external clock has ramifications that must be understood. Because the external
TCLK12 input is synchronized internally (sampled once
per instruction cycle), the time TCLK12 changes to the
time the timer increments will vary by as much as TCY
(one instruction cycle). This will cause jitter in the duty
cycle as well as the period of the PWM output.
This jitter will be ±TCY, unless the external clock is synchronized with the processor clock. Use of one of the
PWM outputs as the clock source to the TCLKx input,
will supply a synchronized clock.
In general, when using an external clock source for
PWM, its frequency should be much less than the
device frequency (Fosc).
The duty cycle registers for both PWM outputs are double buffered. When the user writes to these registers,
they are stored in master latches. When TMR1 (or
TMR2) overflows and a new PWM period begins, the
master latch values are transferred to the slave latches
and the PWMx pin is forced high.
Note:
For PW1DCH, PW1DCL, PW2DCH and
PW2DCL registers, a write operation
writes to the "master latches" while a read
operation reads the "slave latches". As a
result, the user may not read back what
was just written to the duty cycle registers.

12.1.3.3.1 MAX RESOLUTION/FREQUENCY FOR
EXTERNAL CLOCK INPUT
Timer3 has two modes of operation, depending on the
CA1/PR3 bit (TCON2<3>). These modes are:
The use of an external clock for the PWM time-base
(Timer1 or Timer2) limits the PWM output to a maximum resolution of 8-bits. The PWxDCL<7:6> bits must
be kept cleared. Use of any other value will distort the
PWM output. All resolutions are supported when internal clock mode is selected. The maximum attainable
frequency is also lower. This is a result of the timing
requirements of an external clock input for a timer (see
the Electrical Specification section). The maximum
PWM frequency, when the timers clock source is the
RB4/TCLK12 pin, is shown in Table 12-3 (standard resolution mode).
• One capture and one period register mode
• Dual capture register mode
12.2
Each 16-bit capture register has an interrupt flag associated with it. The flag is set when a capture is made.
The capture module is truly part of the Timer3 block.
Figure 12-7 and Figure 12-8 show the block diagrams
for the two modes of operation.
The PIC17C4X has up to two 16-bit capture registers
that capture the 16-bit value of TMR3 when events are
detected on capture pins. There are two capture pins
(RB0/CAP1 and RB1/CAP2), one for each capture register. The capture pins are multiplexed with PORTB
pins. An event can be:
•

Timer3
Timer3 is a 16-bit timer consisting of the TMR3H and
TMR3L registers. TMR3H is the high byte of the timer
and TMR3L is the low byte. This timer has an associated 16-bit period register (PR3H/CA1H:PR3L/CA1L).
This period register can be software configured to be a
second 16-bit capture register.

When the TMR3CS bit (TCON1<2>) is clear, the timer
increments every instruction cycle (Fosc/4). When
TMR3CS is set, the timer increments on every falling
edge of the RB5/TCLK3 pin. In either mode, the
TMR3ON bit must be set for the timer to increment.
When TMR3ON is clear, the timer will not increment or
set the TMR3IF bit.

12.2.1
Capture pin RB1/CAP2 is a multiplexed pin. When used
as a port pin, Capture2 is not disabled. However, the
user can simply disable the Capture2 interrupt by clearing CA2IE. If RB1/CAP2 is used as an output pin, the
user can activate a capture by writing to the port pin.
This may be useful during development phase to emulate a capture interrupt.
ONE CAPTURE AND ONE PERIOD
REGISTER MODE
In this mode registers PR3H/CA1H and PR3L/CA1L
constitute a 16-bit period register. A block diagram is
shown in Figure 12-7. The timer increments until it
equals the period register and then resets to 0000h.
TMR3 Interrupt Flag bit (TMR3IF) is set at this point.
This interrupt can be disabled by clearing the TMR3
Interrupt Enable bit (TMR3IE). TMR3IF must be
cleared in software.
The input on capture pin RB1/CAP2 is synchronized
internally to internal phase clocks. This imposes certain
restrictions on the input waveform (see the Electrical
Specification section for timing).
This mode is selected if control bit CA1/PR3 is clear. In
this mode, the Capture1 register, consisting of high
byte (PR3H/CA1H) and low byte (PR3L/CA1L), is configured as the period control register for TMR3.
Capture1 is disabled in this mode, and the corresponding Interrupt bit CA1IF is never set. TMR3 increments
until it equals the value in the period register and then
resets to 0000h.
The Capture2 overflow status flag bit is double buffered. The master bit is set if one captured word is
already residing in the Capture2 register and another
“event” has occurred on the RB1/CA2 pin. The new
event will not transfer the Timer3 value to the capture
register, protecting the previous unread capture value.
When the user reads both the high and the low bytes (in
any order) of the Capture2 register, the master overflow
bit is transferred to the slave overflow bit (CA2OVF) and
then the master bit is reset. The user can then read
TCON2 to determine the value of CA2OVF.
Capture2 is active in this mode. The CA2ED1 and
CA2ED0 bits determine the event on which capture will
occur. The possible events are:
•
•
•
•
Capture on every falling edge
Capture on every rising edge
Capture every 4th rising edge
Capture every 16th rising edge
The recommended sequence to read capture registers
and capture overflow flag bits is shown in
Example 12-1.
EXAMPLE 12-1: SEQUENCE TO READ
CAPTURE REGISTERS
When a capture takes place, an interrupt flag is latched
into the CA2IF bit. This interrupt can be enabled by setting the corresponding mask bit CA2IE. The Peripheral
Interrupt Enable bit (PEIE) must be set and the Global
Interrupt Disable bit (GLINTD) must be cleared for the
interrupt to be acknowledged. The CA2IF interrupt flag
bit must be cleared in software.

When the capture prescale select is changed, the prescaler is not reset and an event may be generated.
Therefore, the first capture after such a change will be
ambiguous. However, it sets the time-base for the next
capture. The prescaler is reset upon chip reset.

The Capture2 overflow status flag bit is double buffered. The master bit is set if one captured word is
already residing in the Capture2 register and another
“event” has occurred on the RB1/CA2 pin. The new
event will not transfer the TMR3 value to the capture
register which protects the previous unread capture
value. When the user reads both the high and the low
bytes (in any order) of the Capture2 register, the master
overflow bit is transferred to the slave overflow bit
(CA2OVF) and then the master bit is reset. The user
can then read TCON2 to determine the value of
CA2OVF.
DUAL CAPTURE REGISTER MODE
This mode is selected by setting CA1/PR3. A block diagram is shown in Figure 12-8. In this mode, TMR3 runs
without a period register and increments from 0000h to
FFFFh and rolls over to 0000h. The TMR3 interrupt
Flag (TMR3IF) is set on this roll over. The TMR3IF bit
must be cleared in software.
Registers PR3H/CA1H and PR3L/CA1L make a 16-bit
capture register (Capture1). It captures events on pin
RB0/CAP1. Capture mode is configured by the
CA1ED1 and CA1ED0 bits. Capture1 Interrupt Flag bit
(CA1IF) is set on the capture event. The corresponding
interrupt mask bit is CA1IE. The Capture1 Overflow
Status bit is CA1OVF.
The operation of the Capture1 feature is identical to
Capture2 (as described in Section 12.2.1).

When TMR3CS is set, the 16-bit TMR3 increments on
the falling edge of clock input TCLK3. The input on the
RB5/TCLK3 pin is sampled and synchronized by the
internal phase clocks twice every instruction cycle. This
causes a delay from the time a falling edge appears on
TCLK3 to the time TMR3 is actually incremented. For
the external clock input timing requirements, see the
Electrical Specification section. Figure 12-9 shows the
timing diagram when operating from an external clock.

READING/WRITING TIMER3
Since Timer3 is a 16-bit timer and only 8-bits at a time
can be read or written, care should be taken when
reading or writing while the timer is running. The best
method to read or write the timer is to stop the timer,
perform any read or write operation, and then restart
Timer3 (using the TMR3ON bit). However, if it is necessary to keep Timer3 free-running, care must be taken.
For writing to the 16-bit TMR3, Example 12-2 may be
used. For reading the 16-bit TMR3, Example 12-3 may
be used. Interrupts must be disabled during this routine.

UNIVERSAL SYNCHRONOUS
ASYNCHRONOUS RECEIVER
TRANSMITTER (USART)
MODULE
The SPEN (RCSTA<7>) bit has to be set in order to
configure RA4 and RA5 as the Serial Communication
Interface.
The USART module will control the direction of the
RA4/RX/DT and RA5/TX/CK pins, depending on the
states of the USART configuration bits in the RCSTA
and TXSTA registers. The bits that control I/O direction
are:
The USART module is a serial I/O module. 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. The
USART can be configured in the following modes:
•
•
•
•
•
• Asynchronous (full duplex)
• Synchronous - Master (half duplex)
• Synchronous - Slave (half duplex)

USART Baud Rate Generator (BRG)
Example 13-1 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. Table 13-1 shows
the formula for computation of the baud rate for different USART modes. These only apply when the USART
is in synchronous master mode (internal clock) and
asynchronous mode.
FOSC = 16 MHz
Desired Baud Rate = 9600
SYNC = 0
EXAMPLE 13-1: CALCULATING BAUD
RATE ERROR
Desired Baud rate=Fosc / (64 (X + 1))
Given the desired baud rate and Fosc, the nearest integer value between 0 and 255 can be calculated using
the formula below. The error in baud rate can then be
determined.
9600 =
16000000 /(64 (X + 1))
X
25.042 = 25
Calculated Baud Rate=16000000 / (64 (25 + 1))

Desired Baud Rate
=
(9615 - 9600) / 9600
=
0.16%
Writing a new value to the SPBRG, causes the BRG
timer to be reset (or cleared), this ensures that the BRG
does not wait for a timer overflow before outputting the
new baud rate.

USART Asynchronous Mode
In this mode, the USART uses standard nonreturn-to-zero (NRZ) format (one start bit, eight or nine
data bits, and one stop bit). The most common data format is 8-bits. An on-chip dedicated 8-bit baud rate generator can be used to derive standard baud rate
frequencies from the oscillator. 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 x64 of the bit shift rate. 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.
The asynchronous mode is selected by clearing the
SYNC bit (TXSTA<4>).
The USART Asynchronous module consists of the following important elements:

13.2.1
USART ASYNCHRONOUS TRANSMITTER
The USART transmitter block diagram is shown in
Figure 13-3. The heart of the transmitter is the transmit
shift register (TSR). The shift register obtains its data
from the read/write transmit buffer (TXREG). TXREG is
loaded with data in software. The TSR 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 (if available).
Once TXREG transfers the data to the TSR (occurs in
one TCY at the end of the current BRG cycle), the
TXREG is empty and an interrupt bit, TXIF (PIR<1>) is
set. This interrupt can be enabled or disabled by the
TXIE bit (PIE<1>). TXIF will be set regardless of TXIE
and cannot be reset in software. It will reset only when
new data is loaded into TXREG. While TXIF indicates
the status of the TXREG, the TRMT (TXSTA<1>) bit
shows the status of the TSR. 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 is empty.
Note:
Transmission
is
enabled
by
setting
the
TXEN (TXSTA<5>) bit. The actual transmission will not
occur until TXREG has been loaded with data and the
baud rate generator (BRG) has produced a shift clock
(Figure 13-5). The transmission can also be started by
first loading TXREG and then setting TXEN. Normally
when transmission is first started, the TSR is empty, so
a transfer to TXREG will result in an immediate transfer
to TSR resulting in an empty TXREG. A back-to-back
transfer is thus possible (Figure 13-6). Clearing TXEN
during a transmission will cause the transmission to be
aborted. This will reset the transmitter and the
RA5/TX/CK pin will revert to hi-impedance.
In order to select 9-bit transmission, the
TX9 (TXSTA<6>) bit should be set and the ninth bit
should be written to TX9D (TXSTA<0>). The ninth bit
must be written before writing the 8-bit data to the
TXREG. This is because a data write to TXREG can
result in an immediate transfer of the data to the TSR
(if the TSR is empty).
Steps to follow when setting up an Asynchronous
Transmission:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
Initialize the SPBRG register for the appropriate
baud rate.
Enable the asynchronous serial port by clearing
the SYNC bit and setting the SPEN bit.
If interrupts are desired, then set the TXIE bit.
If 9-bit transmission is desired, then set the TX9
bit.
Load data to the TXREG register.
If 9-bit transmission is selected, the ninth bit
should be loaded in TX9D.
Enable the transmission by setting TXEN (starts
transmission).
Writing the transmit data to the TXREG, then enabling
the transmit (setting TXEN) allows transmission to start
sooner then doing these two events in the opposite
order.
Note:
To terminate a transmission, either clear
the SPEN bit, or the TXEN bit. This will
reset the transmit logic, so that it will be in
the proper state when transmit is
re-enabled.
The TSR is not mapped in data memory,
so it is not available to the user.

13.2.2
USART ASYNCHRONOUS RECEIVER
Note:
The receiver block diagram is shown in Figure 13-4.
The data comes in the RA4/RX/DT pin and drives the
data recovery block. The data recovery block is actually
a high speed shifter operating at 16 times the baud
rate, whereas the main receive serial shifter operates
at the bit rate or at FOSC.
Once asynchronous mode is selected, reception is
enabled by setting bit CREN (RCSTA<4>).
13.2.3
The heart of the receiver is the receive (serial) shift register (RSR). After sampling the stop bit, the received
data in the RSR is transferred to the RCREG (if it is
empty). If the transfer is complete, the interrupt bit
RCIF (PIR<0>) is set. The actual interrupt can be
enabled/disabled by setting/clearing the RCIE
(PIE<0>) bit. RCIF is a read only bit which is cleared by
the hardware. It is cleared when RCREG has been
read and is empty. RCREG is a double buffered register; (i.e. it is a two deep FIFO). It is possible for two
bytes of data to be received and transferred to the
RCREG FIFO and a third byte begin shifting to the
RSR. On detection of the stop bit of the third byte, if the
RCREG is still full, then the overrun error bit,
OERR (RCSTA<1>) will be set. The word in the RSR
will be lost. RCREG can be read twice to retrieve the
two bytes in the FIFO. The OERR bit has to be cleared
in software which is done by resetting the receive logic
(CREN is set). If the OERR bit is set, transfers from the
RSR to RCREG are inhibited, so it is essential to clear
the OERR bit if it is set. The framing error bit
FERR (RCSTA<2>) is set if a stop bit is not detected.
The FERR and the 9th receive bit are buffered the same way as the receive data.
Reading the RCREG register will allow the
RX9D and FERR bits to be loaded with values for the next received Received data;
therefore, it is essential for the user to read
the RCSTA register before reading
RCREG in order not to lose the old FERR
and RX9D information.
SAMPLING
The data on the RA4/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 RA4/RX/DT pin. The sampling is done on the seventh, eighth and ninth falling
edges of a x16 clock (Figure 11-3).
The x16 clock is a free running clock, and the three
sample points occur at a frequency of every 16 falling
edges.

13.3
USART Synchronous Master Mode
In Master Synchronous 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. The synchronous mode is entered by setting the SYNC
(TXSTA<4>) bit. In addition, the SPEN (RCSTA<7>) bit
is set in order to configure the RA5 and RA4 I/O ports
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 the CSRC (TXSTA<7>) bit.
13.3.1
USART SYNCHRONOUS MASTER
TRANSMISSION
The USART transmitter block diagram is shown in
Figure 13-3. The heart of the transmitter is the transmit
(serial) shift register (TSR). The shift register obtains its
data from the read/write transmit buffer TXREG.
TXREG is loaded with data in software. The TSR 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 TXREG (if available).
Once TXREG transfers the data to the TSR (occurs in
one TCY at the end of the current BRG cycle), TXREG
is empty and the TXIF (PIR<1>) bit is set. This interrupt
can be enabled/disabled by setting/clearing the TXIE
bit (PIE<1>). TXIF will be set regardless of the state of
bit TXIE and cannot be cleared in software. It will reset
only when new data is loaded into TXREG. While TXIF
indicates the status of TXREG, TRMT (TXSTA<1>)
shows the status of the TSR. 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 is empty. The TSR is not
mapped in data memory, so it is not available to the
user.
Transmission is enabled by setting the TXEN
(TXSTA<5>) bit. The actual transmission will not occur
until TXREG has been loaded with data. The first data
bit will be shifted out on the next available rising edge
of the clock on the RA5/TX/CK pin. Data out is stable
around the falling edge of the synchronous clock
(Figure 13-10). The transmission can also be started
by first loading TXREG and then setting TXEN. This is
advantageous when slow baud rates are selected,
since BRG is kept in RESET when the TXEN, CREN,
and SREN bits are clear. Setting the TXEN bit will start
the BRG, creating a shift clock immediately. Normally
when transmission is first started, the TSR is empty, so
a transfer to TXREG will result in an immediate transfer
to the TSR, resulting in an empty TXREG.
Back-to-back transfers are possible.
RA4/RX/DT pin reverts to a hi-impedance state (for a
reception). The RA5/TX/CK pin will remain an output if
the CSRC bit is set (internal clock). The transmitter
logic is not reset, although it is disconnected from the
pins. In order to reset the transmitter, the user has to
clear the TXEN bit. If the SREN bit is set (to interrupt an
ongoing transmission and receive a single word), then
after the single word is received, SREN will be cleared
and the serial port will revert back to transmitting, since
the TXEN bit is still set. The DT line will immediately
switch from hi-impedance receive mode to transmit
and start driving. To avoid this, TXEN should be
cleared.
In order to select 9-bit transmission, the
TX9 (TXSTA<6>) bit should be set and the ninth bit
should be written to TX9D (TXSTA<0>). The ninth bit
must be written before writing the 8-bit data to TXREG.
This is because a data write to TXREG can result in an
immediate transfer of the data to the TSR (if the TSR is
empty). If the TSR was empty and TXREG was written
before writing the “new” TX9D, the “present” value of
TX9D is loaded.
Steps to follow when setting up a Synchronous Master
Transmission:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
Initialize the SPBRG register for the appropriate
baud rate (see Baud Rate Generator Section for
details).
Enable the synchronous master serial port by
setting the SYNC, SPEN, and CSRC bits.
Ensure that the CREN and SREN bits are clear
(these bits override transmission when set).
If interrupts are desired, then set the TXIE bit
(the GLINTD bit must be clear and the PEIE bit
must be set).
If 9-bit transmission is desired, then set the TX9
bit.
Start transmission by loading data to the
TXREG register.
If 9-bit transmission is selected, the ninth bit
should be loaded in TX9D.
Enable the transmission by setting TXEN.
Writing the transmit data to the TXREG, then enabling
the transmit (setting TXEN) allows transmission to start
sooner then doing these two events in the reverse
order.
Note:
To terminate a transmission, either clear
the SPEN bit, or the TXEN bit. This will
reset the transmit logic, so that it will be in
the proper state when transmit is
re-enabled.
Clearing TXEN during a transmission will cause the
transmission to be aborted and will reset the transmitter. The RA4/RX/DT and RA5/TX/CK pins will revert to
hi-impedance. If either CREN or SREN are set during
a transmission, the transmission is aborted and the

Steps to follow when setting up a Synchronous Master
Reception:
USART SYNCHRONOUS MASTER
RECEPTION
1.
Once synchronous mode is selected, reception is
enabled by setting either the SREN (RCSTA<5>) bit or
the CREN (RCSTA<4>) bit. Data is sampled on the
RA4/RX/DT pin on the falling edge of the clock. If
SREN is set, then only a single word is received. If
CREN is set, the reception is continuous until CREN is
reset. If both bits are set, then CREN takes precedence. After clocking the last bit, the received data in
the Receive Shift Register (RSR) is transferred to
RCREG (if it is empty). If the transfer is complete, the
interrupt bit RCIF (PIR<0>) is set. The actual interrupt
can be enabled/disabled by setting/clearing the
RCIE (PIE<0>) bit. RCIF is a read only bit which is
RESET by the hardware. In this case it is reset when
RCREG has been read and is empty. RCREG is a double buffered register; i.e., it is a two deep FIFO. It is
possible for two bytes of data to be received and transferred to the RCREG FIFO and a third byte to begin
shifting into the RSR. On the clocking of the last bit of
the third byte, if RCREG is still full, then the overrun
error bit OERR (RCSTA<1>) is set. The word in the
RSR will be lost. RCREG can be read twice to retrieve
the two bytes in the FIFO. The OERR bit has to be
cleared in software. This is done by clearing the CREN
bit. If OERR bit is set, transfers from RSR to RCREG
are inhibited, so it is essential to clear OERR bit if it is
set. The 9th receive bit is buffered the same way as the
receive data. Reading the RCREG register will allow
the RX9D and FERR bits to be loaded with values for
the next received data; therefore, it is essential for the
user to read the RCSTA register before reading
RCREG in order not to lose the old FERR and RX9D
information.

Initialize the SPBRG register for the appropriate

Enable the synchronous master serial port by

If interrupts are desired, then set the RCIE bit.
If 9-bit reception is desired, then set the RX9 bit.
If a single reception is required, set bit SREN.
For continuous reception set bit CREN.
The RCIF bit will be set when reception is complete and an interrupt will be generated if the
RCIE bit was set.
Read RCSTA to get the ninth bit (if enabled) and
determine if any error occurred during reception.
Read the 8-bit received data by reading
RCREG.
If any error occurred, clear the error by clearing
CREN.
Note:
To terminate a reception, either clear the
SREN and CREN bits, or the SPEN bit.
This will reset the receive logic, so that it
will be in the proper state when receive is
re-enabled.

USART Synchronous Slave Mode
The synchronous slave mode differs from the master
mode in the fact that the shift clock is supplied externally at the RA5/TX/CK pin (instead of being supplied
internally in the master mode). This allows the device
to transfer or receive data in the SLEEP mode. The
slave
mode
is
entered
by
clearing
the
CSRC (TXSTA<7>) bit.
13.4.1
USART SYNCHRONOUS SLAVE
TRANSMIT
The operation of the sync master and slave modes are
identical except in the case of the SLEEP mode.
If two words are written to TXREG and then the SLEEP
instruction executes, the following will occur. The first
word will immediately transfer to the TSR and will transmit as the shift clock is supplied. The second word will
remain in TXREG. TXIF will not be set. When the first
word has been shifted out of TSR, TXREG will transfer
the second word to the TSR and the TXIF flag will now
be set. If TXIE is enabled, the interrupt will wake the
chip from SLEEP and if the global interrupt is enabled,
then the program will branch to interrupt vector
(0020h).

Operation of the synchronous master and slave modes
are identical except in the case of the SLEEP mode.
Also, SREN is a don't care in slave mode.
If receive is enabled (CREN) prior to the SLEEP instruction, then a word may be received during SLEEP. On
completely receiving the word, the RSR will transfer the
data to RCREG (setting RCIF) and if the 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 (0020h).

The RCIF bit will be set when reception is complete and an interrupt will be generated if the

Read RCSTA to get the ninth bit (if enabled) and
determine if any error occurred during reception.
Read the 8-bit received data by reading
RCREG.
If any error occurred, clear the error by clearing

Note:
To abort reception, either clear the SPEN
bit, the SREN bit (when in single receive
mode), or the CREN bit (when in continuous receive mode). This will reset the
receive logic, so that it will be in the proper
state when receive is re-enabled.
Writing the transmit data to the TXREG, then enabling

SPECIAL FEATURES OF THE
CPU
The PIC17CXX has a Watchdog Timer which can be
shut off only through EPROM bits. 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 Power-up Timer (PWRT), which provides a fixed
delay of 96 ms (nominal) 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.
What sets a microcontroller apart from other processors are special circuits to deal with the needs of real
time applications. The PIC17CXX family has a host of
such 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)
• Interrupts
• Watchdog Timer (WDT)
• SLEEP
• Code protection
The SLEEP mode is designed to offer a very low current power-down mode. The user can wake from
SLEEP through external reset, Watchdog Timer Reset
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 LF crystal option saves power. Configuration bits
are used to select various options. This configuration
word has the format shown in Figure 14-1.

Configuration Bits
The PIC17CXX has up to seven configuration locations
(Table 14-1). These locations can be programmed
(read as '0') or left unprogrammed (read as '1') to select
various device configurations. Any write to a configuration location, regardless of the data, will program that
configuration bit. A TABLWT instruction is required to
write to program memory locations. The configuration
bits can be read by using the TABLRD instructions.
Reading any configuration location between FE00h
and FE07h will read the low byte of the configuration
word (Figure 14-1) into the TABLATL register. The TABLATH register will be FFh. Reading a configuration
location between FE08h and FE0Fh will read the high
byte of the configuration word into the TABLATL register. The TABLATH register will be FFh.
Addresses FE00h thorough FE0Fh are only in the program memory space for microcontroller and code protected microcontroller modes. A device programmer
will be able to read the configuration word in any processor mode. See programming specifications for more
detail.

RESONATORS
In XT or LF modes, a crystal or ceramic resonator is
connected to the OSC1/CLKIN and OSC2/CLKOUT
pins to establish oscillation (Figure 14-2). The
PIC17CXX Oscillator design requires the use of a parallel cut crystal. Use of a series cut crystal may give a
frequency out of the crystal manufacturers specifications.
For frequencies above 20 MHz, it is common for the
crystal to be an overtone mode crystal. Use of overtone
mode crystals require a tank circuit to attenuate the
gain at the fundamental frequency. Figure 14-3 shows
an example of this.

Higher capacitance increases the stability of the
oscillator but also increases the start-up time and the

overdriving the crystals with low drive level specification. Since each crystal has its own characteristics,
the user should consult the crystal manufacturer for
appropriate values for external components.

EXTERNAL CRYSTAL OSCILLATOR
CIRCUIT
Either a prepackaged oscillator can be used or a simple
oscillator circuit with TTL gates can be built. Prepackaged oscillators provide a wide operating range and
better stability. A well-designed crystal oscillator will
provide good performance with TTL gates. Two types of
crystal oscillator circuits can be used: one with series
resonance, or one with parallel resonance.
Figure 14-5 shows implementation of a parallel resonant oscillator circuit. The circuit is designed to use the
fundamental frequency of the crystal. The 74AS04
inverter performs the 180-degree phase shift that a parallel oscillator requires. The 4.7 kΩ resistor provides the
negative feedback for stability. The 10 kΩ potentiometer
biases the 74AS04 in the linear region. This could be
used for external oscillator designs.

RC OSCILLATOR
For timing insensitive applications, the RC device
option offers additional cost savings. 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, 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
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 14-6 shows how the R/C combination is connected to the PIC17CXX. For Rext values below 2.2 kΩ,
the oscillator operation may become unstable, or stop
completely. For very high Rext values (e.g. 1 MΩ), the
oscillator becomes sensitive to noise, humidity and
leakage. Thus, we recommend to keep Rext between 3
kΩ and 100 kΩ.
Although the oscillator will operate with no external
capacitor (Cext = 0 pF), we recommend using values
above 20 pF for noise and stability reasons. With little
or no external capacitance, oscillation frequency can
vary dramatically due to changes in external capacitances, such as PCB trace capacitance or package
lead frame capacitance.
See Section 18.0 for RC frequency variation from part
to part due to normal process variation. The variation
is larger for larger R (since leakage current variation will
affect RC frequency more for large R) and for smaller C
(since variation of input capacitance will affect RC frequency more).

Watchdog Timer (WDT)
The Watchdog Timer’s function is to recover from software malfunction. The WDT uses an internal free running on-chip RC oscillator for its clock source. This
does not require any external components. This RC
oscillator is separate from the RC oscillator of the
OSC1/CLKIN pin. That means that the WDT will run,
even if the clock on the OSC1/CLKIN and OSC2/CLKOUT pins of the device has been stopped, for example,
by execution of a SLEEP instruction. During normal
operation and SLEEP mode, a WDT time-out generates a device RESET. The WDT can be permanently
disabled by programming the configuration bits
WDTPS1:WDTPS0 as '00' (Section 14.1).
Under normal operation, the WDT must be cleared on
a regular interval. This time is less the minimum WDT
overflow time. Not clearing the WDT in this time frame
will cause the WDT to overflow and reset the device.
14.3.1
WDT PERIOD
The WDT has a nominal time-out period of 12 ms, (with
postscaler = 1). The time-out periods vary with temperature, VDD and process variations from part to part (see
DC specs). If longer time-out periods are desired, a
postscaler with a division ratio of up to 1:256 can be
assigned to the WDT. Thus, typical time-out periods up
to 3.0 seconds can be realized.
The CLRWDT and SLEEP instructions clear the WDT
and the postscaler (if assigned to the WDT) and prevent it from timing out thus generating a device RESET
condition.
14.3.2
CLEARING THE WDT AND POSTSCALER
The WDT and postscaler are cleared when:
•
•
•
•
The device is in the reset state
A SLEEP instruction is executed
A CLRWDT instruction is executed
Wake-up from SLEEP by an interrupt
The WDT counter/postscaler will start counting on the
first edge after the device exits the reset state.
14.3.3
WDT PROGRAMMING CONSIDERATIONS
It should also be taken in account that under worst case
conditions (VDD = Min., Temperature = Max., max.
WDT postscaler) it may take several seconds before a
WDT time-out occurs.
The WDT and postscaler is the Power-up Timer during
the Power-on Reset sequence.
14.3.4
WDT AS NORMAL TIMER
When the WDT is selected as a normal timer, the clock
source is the device clock. Neither the WDT nor the
postscaler are directly readable or writable. The overflow time is 65536 TOSC cycles. On overflow, the TO bit
is cleared (device is not reset). The CLRWDT instruction
can be used to set the TO bit. This allows the WDT to
be a simple overflow timer. When in sleep, the WDT
does not increment.
The TO bit in the CPUSTA register will be cleared upon
a WDT time-out.

Power-down Mode (SLEEP)
14.4
PD bit, which is set on power-up, is cleared when
SLEEP is invoked. The TO bit is cleared if WDT
time-out occurred (and caused wake-up).
The Power-down mode is entered by executing a
SLEEP instruction. This clears the Watchdog Timer and
postscaler (if enabled). The PD bit is cleared and the
TO bit is set (in the CPUSTA register). In SLEEP mode,
the oscillator driver is turned off. The I/O ports maintain
their status (driving high, low, or hi-impedance).
When the SLEEP instruction is being executed, the next
instruction (PC + 1) 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 GLINTD bit. If the GLINTD
bit is set (disabled), the device continues execution at
the instruction after the SLEEP instruction. If the
GLINTD bit is clear (enabled), the device executes the
instruction after the SLEEP instruction and then
branches to the interrupt vector address. In cases
where the execution of the instruction following SLEEP
is not desirable, the user should have a NOP after the
SLEEP instruction.
The MCLR/VPP pin must be at a logic high level
(VIHMC). A WDT time-out RESET does not drive the
MCLR/VPP pin low.
14.4.1
WAKE-UP FROM SLEEP
The device can wake up from SLEEP through one of
the following events:
•
•
•
•
A POR reset
External reset input on MCLR/VPP pin
WDT Reset (if WDT was enabled)
Interrupt from RA0/INT pin, RB port change,
T0CKI interrupt, or some Peripheral Interrupts
Note:
If the global interrupts are disabled
(GLINTD is set), but any interrupt source
has both its interrupt enable bit and the corresponding interrupt flag bits set, the
device will immediately wake-up from
sleep. The TO bit is set, and the PD bit is
cleared.
The following peripheral interrupts can wake-up from
SLEEP:
•
•
•
•
The WDT is cleared when the device wake from
SLEEP, regardless of the source of wake-up.
Capture1 interrupt
Capture2 interrupt
USART synchronous slave transmit interrupt
USART synchronous slave receive interrupt
14.4.1.1
WAKE-UP DELAY
When the oscillator type is configured in XT or LF
mode, the Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) is activated
on wake-up. The OST will keep the device in reset for
1024TOSC. This needs to be taken into account when
considering the interrupt response time when coming
out of SLEEP.
Other peripherals can not generate interrupts since
during SLEEP, no on-chip Q clocks are present.
Any reset event will cause a device reset. Any interrupt
event is considered a continuation of program execution. The TO and PD bits in the CPUSTA register can
be used to determine the cause of device reset. The

MINIMIZING CURRENT CONSUMPTION
To minimize current consumption, all I/O pins should be
either at VDD, or VSS, with no external circuitry drawing
current from the I/O pin. I/O pins that are hi-impedance
inputs should be pulled high or low externally to avoid
switching currents caused by floating inputs. The
T0CKI input should be at VDD or VSS. The contributions
from on-chip pull-ups on PORTB should also be considered, and disabled when possible.
14.5
Code Protection
The code in the program memory can be protected by
selecting the microcontroller in code protected mode
(PM2:PM0 = '000').
Note:
PM2 does not exist on the PIC17C42. To
select code protected microcontroller
mode, PM1:PM0 = '00'.
In this mode, instructions that are in the on-chip program memory space, can continue to read or write the
program memory. An instruction that is executed outside of the internal program memory range will be inhibited from writing to or reading from program memory.
Note:
Microchip does not recommend code protecting windowed devices.
If the code protection bit(s) have not been programmed, the on-chip program memory can be read
out for verification purposes.

INSTRUCTION SET SUMMARY
The PIC17CXX instruction set consists of 58 instructions. Each instruction is a 16-bit word divided into an
OPCODE and one or more operands. The opcode
specifies the instruction type, while the operand(s) further specify the operation of the instruction. The
PIC17CXX instruction set can be grouped into three
types:
• byte-oriented
• bit-oriented
• literal and control operations.
These formats are shown in Figure 15-1.
Table 15-1 shows the field descriptions for the
opcodes. These descriptions are useful for understanding the opcodes in Table 15-2 and in each specific instruction descriptions.
byte-oriented instructions, 'f' represents a file register designator and 'd' represents a destination designator. The file register designator specifies which file
register is to be used by the instruction.
The destination designator specifies where the result of
the operation is to be placed. If 'd' = '0', the result is
placed in the WREG register. If 'd' = '1', the result is
placed in the file register specified by the instruction.
bit-oriented instructions, 'b' represents a bit field designator which selects the number of the bit affected by
the operation, while 'f' represents the number of the file
in which the bit is located.
literal and control operations, 'k' represents an 8- or
11-bit constant or literal value.
The instruction set is highly orthogonal and is grouped
into:
• byte-oriented operations
• bit-oriented operations
• literal and control operations

All instructions are executed within one single instruction cycle, unless:
• a conditional test is true
• the program counter is changed as a result of an
instruction
• a table read or a table write instruction is executed (in this case, the execution takes two
instruction cycles with the second cycle executed
as a NOP)
One instruction cycle consists of four oscillator periods.
Thus, for an oscillator frequency of 25 MHz, the normal
instruction execution time is 160 ns. If a conditional test
is true or the program counter is changed as a result of
an instruction, the instruction execution time is 320 ns.

Special Function Registers as
Source/Destination
The PIC17C4X’s orthogonal instruction set allows read
and write of all file registers, including special function
registers. There are some special situations the user
should be aware of:
15.1.1
ALUSTA AS DESTINATION
If an instruction writes to ALUSTA, the Z, C, DC and OV
bits may be set or cleared as a result of the instruction
and overwrite the original data bits written. For example, executing CLRF
ALUSTA will clear register
ALUSTA, and then set the Z bit leaving 0000 0100b in
the register.
where b signifies a binary string.

Q Cycle Activity
The 4 Q cycles that make up an instruction cycle (Tcy)
can be generalized as:
Each instruction cycle (Tcy) is comprised of four Q
cycles (Q1-Q4). The Q cycles provide the timing/designation for the Decode, Read, Execute, Write etc., of
each instruction cycle. The following diagram shows
the relationship of the Q cycles to the instruction cycle.

If s = '1', only the file is affected: If s = '0', both the WREG register and the file are affected; If only the Working
register (WREG) is required to be affected, then f = WREG must be specified.
During an LCALL, the contents of PCLATH are loaded into the MSB of the PC and kkkk kkkk is loaded into
the LSB of the PC (PCL)
Multiple cycle instruction for EPROM programming when table pointer selects internal EPROM. The instruction is terminated by an interrupt event. When writing to external program memory, it is a two-cycle instruction.
Two-cycle instruction when condition is true, else single cycle instruction.
Two-cycle instruction except for TABLRD to PCL (program counter low byte) in which case it takes 3 cycles.
A “skip” means that instruction fetched during execution of current instruction is not executed, instead an
NOP is executed.
These instructions are not available on the PIC17C42.

Description:
GOTO allows an unconditional branch
anywhere within an 8K page boundary.
The thirteen bit immediate value is
loaded into PC bits <12:0>. Then the
upper eight bits of PC are loaded into
PCLATH. GOTO is always a two-cycle
instruction.

enter commands and a modular detachable socket
assembly to support various package types. In standalone mode the PRO MATE II can read, verify or program PIC16C5X, PIC16CXXX, PIC17CXX and
PIC14000 devices. It can also set configuration and
code-protect bits in this mode.
The PICMASTER Universal In-Circuit Emulator is
intended to provide the product development engineer
with a complete microcontroller design tool set for all
microcontrollers in the PIC12C5XX, PIC14000,
PIC16C5X, PIC16CXXX and PIC17CXX families.
PICMASTER is supplied with the MPLAB Integrated
Development Environment (IDE), which allows editing,
“make” and download, and source debugging from a
single environment.
16.5
Interchangeable target probes allow the system to be
easily reconfigured for emulation of different processors. The universal architecture of the PICMASTER
allows expansion to support all new Microchip microcontrollers.
PICSTART Plus supports all PIC12C5XX, PIC14000,

MPLAB Integrated Development
Environment Software
The MPLAB IDE Software brings an ease of software
development previously unseen in the 8-bit microcontroller market. MPLAB is a windows based application
which contains:
• A full featured editor
• Three operating modes
- editor
- emulator
- simulator
• A project manager
• Customizable tool bar and key mapping
• A status bar with project information
• Extensive on-line help
MPLAB allows you to:
• Edit your source files (either assembly or ‘C’)
• One touch assemble (or compile) and download
to PIC16/17 tools (automatically updates all
project information)
• Debug using:
- source files
- absolute listing file
• Transfer data dynamically via DDE (soon to be
replaced by OLE)
• Run up to four emulators on the same PC
The ability to use MPLAB with Microchip’s simulator
allows a consistent platform and the ability to easily
switch from the low cost simulator to the full featured
emulator with minimal retraining due to development
tools.

Note 1: Power dissipation is calculated as follows: Pdis = VDD x {IDD - ∑ IOH} + ∑ {(VDD-VOH) x IOH} + ∑(VOL x IOL)
Note 2: Voltage spikes below VSS at the MCLR pin, inducing currents greater than 80 mA, may cause latch-up.
Thus, a series resistor of 50-100Ω should be used when applying a "low" level to the MCLR pin rather than
pulling this pin directly to VSS.
† NOTICE: 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.

Data in "Typ" column is at 5V, 25˚C unless otherwise stated. These parameters are for design guidance
only and are not tested.
Note 1: This is the limit to which VDD can be lowered in SLEEP mode 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 tristated, pulled to VDD or VSS, T0CKI = VDD,
MCLR = VDD; WDT enabled/disabled as specified.
Current consumed from the oscillator and I/O’s driving external capacitive or resistive loads need to be considered.
For the RC oscillator, the current through the external pull-up resistor (R) can be estimated as: VDD / (2 • R).
For capacitive loads, The current can be estimated (for an individual I/O pin) as (CL • VDD) • f
CL = Total capacitive load on the I/O pin; f = average frequency on the I/O pin switches.
The capacitive currents are most significant when the device is configured for external execution (includes
extended microcontroller mode).
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, all I/O pins in hi-impedance state and tied to VDD or VSS.
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.

These parameters are for design guidance only and are not tested, nor characterized.
Design guidance to attain the AC timing specifications. These loads are not tested.
In RC oscillator configuration, the OSC1 pin is a Schmitt Trigger input. It is not recommended that the
PIC17CXX devices be driven with external clock in RC mode.
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.
Negative current is defined as coming out of the pin.
These specifications are for the programming of the on-chip program memory EPROM through the use of the
table write instructions. The complete programming specifications can be found in: PIC17CXX Programming
Specifications (Literature number DS30139).
The MCLR/Vpp pin may be kept in this range at times other than programming, but this is not recommended.
For TTL buffers, the better of the two specifications may be used.

In RC oscillator configuration, the OSC1 pin is a Schmitt Trigger input. It is not recommended that the
PIC17CXX devices be driven with external clock in RC mode.
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.
Negative current is defined as coming out of the pin.
These specifications are for the programming of the on-chip program memory EPROM through the use of the

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 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 pin.
When an external clock input is used, the “Max.” cycle time limit is “DC” (no clock) for all devices.

Note 1: Power dissipation is calculated as follows: Pdis = VDD x {IDD - ∑ IOH} + ∑ {(VDD-VOH) x IOH} + ∑(VOL x IOL)
Note 2: Voltage spikes below VSS at the MCLR pin, inducing currents greater than 80 mA, may cause latch-up.
Thus, a series resistor of 50-100Ω should be used when applying a "low" level to the MCLR pin rather than
pulling this pin directly to VSS.
† NOTICE: 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.

These parameters are characterized but not tested.
†
Data in "Typ" column is at 5V, 25˚C unless otherwise stated. These parameters are for design guidance only
and are not tested.
Note 1: This is the limit to which VDD can be lowered in SLEEP mode 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 tristated, pulled to VDD or VSS, T0CKI = VDD,
MCLR = VDD; WDT enabled/disabled as specified.
Current consumed from the oscillator and I/O’s driving external capacitive or resistive loads needs to be considered.
For the RC oscillator, the current through the external pull-up resistor (R) can be estimated as: VDD / (2 • R).
For capacitive loads, the current can be estimated (for an individual I/O pin) as (CL • VDD) • f
CL = Total capacitive load on the I/O pin; f = average frequency the I/O pin switches.
The capacitive currents are most significant when the device is configured for external execution (includes
extended microcontroller mode).
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 and VSS.
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.

Data in "Typ" column is at 5V, 25˚C unless otherwise stated. These parameters are for design guidance only
and are not tested.
Note 1: This is the limit to which VDD can be lowered in SLEEP mode 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 tristated, pulled to VDD or VSS, T0CKI = VDD, MCLR
= VDD; WDT enabled/disabled as specified.
Current consumed from the oscillator and I/O’s driving external capacitive or resistive loads needs to be considered.
For the RC oscillator, the current through the external pull-up resistor (R) can be estimated as: VDD / (2 • R).
For capacitive loads, the current can be estimated (for an individual I/O pin) as (CL • VDD) • f
CL = Total capacitive load on the I/O pin; f = average frequency the I/O pin switches.
The capacitive currents are most significant when the device is configured for external execution (includes
extended microcontroller mode).
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.
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.

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/CLKIN pin.
When an external clock input is used, the “max.” cycle time limit is “DC” (no clock) for all devices.

The graphs and tables provided in this section are for design guidance and are not tested nor guaranteed. In some
graphs or tables the data presented is outside specified operating range (e.g. outside specified VDD range). This is for
information only and devices are ensured to operate properly only within the specified range.
The data presented in this section is a statistical summary of data collected on units from different lots over a period of
time. "Typical" represents the mean of the distribution while "max" or "min" represents (mean + 3σ) and (mean - 3σ)
respectively where σ is standard deviation.

Microchip part number information
Customer specific information*
Year code (last 2 digits of calendar year)
Week code (week of January 1 is week ‘01’)
Facility code of the plant at which wafer is manufactured
C = Chandler, Arizona, U.S.A.,
S = Tempe, Arizona, U.S.A.
D
Mask revision number
E
Assembly code of the plant or country of origin in which

APPENDIX A: MODIFICATIONS
APPENDIX B: COMPATIBILITY
The following is the list of modifications over the
PIC16CXX microcontroller family:
To convert code written for PIC16CXX to PIC17CXX,
the user should take the following steps:
1.
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
10.
11.
12.
13.
14.
15.
16.
17.
18.
19.
20.
21.
22.
23.
Instruction word length is increased to 16-bit.
This allows larger page sizes both in program
memory (8 Kwords verses 2 Kwords) and register file (256 bytes versus 128 bytes).
Four modes of operation: microcontroller, protected microcontroller, extended microcontroller,
and microprocessor.
22 new instructions.
The MOVF, TRIS and OPTION instructions have
been removed.
4 new instructions for transferring data between
data memory and program memory. This can be
used to “self program” the EPROM program
memory.
Single cycle data memory to data memory transfers possible (MOVPF and MOVFP instructions).
These instructions do not affect the Working register (WREG).
W register (WREG) is now directly addressable.
A PC high latch register (PCLATH) is extended
to 8-bits. The PCLATCH register is now both
readable and writable.
Data memory paging is redefined slightly.
DDR registers replaces function of TRIS registers.
Multiple Interrupt vectors added. This can
decrease the latency for servicing the interrupt.
Stack size is increased to 16 deep.
BSR register for data memory paging.
Wake up from SLEEP operates slightly differently.
The Oscillator Start-Up Timer (OST) and
Power-Up Timer (PWRT) operate in parallel and
not in series.
PORTB interrupt on change feature works on all
eight port pins.
TMR0 is 16-bit plus 8-bit prescaler.
Second indirect addressing register added
(FSR1 and FSR2). Configuration bits can select
the FSR registers to auto-increment, auto-decrement, remain unchanged after an indirect
address.
Hardware multiplier added (8 x 8 → 16-bit)
(PIC17C43 and PIC17C44 only).
Peripheral modules operate slightly differently.
Oscillator modes slightly redefined.
Control/Status bits and registers have been
placed in different registers and the control bit
for globally enabling interrupts has inverse
polarity.
Addition of a test mode pin.
In-circuit serial programming is not implemented.
2.
3.
4.
Remove any TRIS and OPTION instructions,
and implement the equivalent code.
Separate the interrupt service routine into its
four vectors.
Replace:
MOVF
REG1, W
with:
MOVFP
REG1, WREG
Replace:
MOVF
REG1, W
MOVWF
REG2
with:
MOVPF
REG1, REG2 ; Addr(REG1)<20h
or
MOVFP
REG1, REG2 ; Addr(REG2)<20h
Note:
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
If REG1 and REG2 are both at addresses
greater then 20h, two instructions are
required.
MOVFP
REG1, WREG ;
MOVPF
WREG, REG2 ;
Ensure that all bit names and register names are
updated to new data memory map location.
Verify data memory banking.
Verify mode of operation for indirect addressing.
Verify peripheral routines for compatibility.
Weak pull-ups are enabled on reset.
To convert code from the PIC17C42 to all the other
PIC17C4X devices, the user should take the following
steps.
1.
2.
3.
If the hardware multiply is to be used, ensure
that any variables at address 18h and 19h are
moved to another address.
Ensure that the upper nibble of the BSR was not
written with a non-zero value. This may cause
unexpected operation since the RAM bank is no
longer 0.
The disabling of global interrupts has been
enhanced so there is no additional testing of the
GLINTD bit after a BSF CPUSTA, GLINTD
instruction.

APPENDIX C: WHAT’S NEW
APPENDIX D: WHAT’S CHANGED
The structure of the document has been made consistent with other data sheets. This ensures that important
topics are covered across all PIC16/17 families. Here is
an overview of new features.
To make software more portable across the different
PIC16/17 families, the name of several registers and
control bits have been changed. This allows control bits
that have the same function, to have the same name
(regardless of processor family). Care must still be
taken, since they may not be at the same special function register address. The following shows the register
and bit names that have been changed:
Added the following devices:
PIC17CR42
PIC17C42A
PIC17CR43
A 33 MHz option is now available.
Old Name
New Name
TX8/9
TX9
RC8/9
RX9
RCD8
RX9D
TXD8
TX9D
Instruction DECFSNZ corrected to DCFSNZ
Instruction INCFSNZ corrected to INFSNZ
Enhanced discussion on PWM to include equation for
determining bits of PWM resolution.
Section 13.2.2 and 13.3.2 have had the description of
updating the FERR and RX9 bits enhanced.
The location of configuration bit PM2 was changed
(Figure 6-1 and Figure 14-1).
Enhanced description of the operation of the INTSTA
register.
Added note to discussion of interrupt operation.
Tightened electrical spec D110.
Corrected steps for setting up USART Asynchronous
Reception.

PIN COMPATIBILITY
Devices that have the same package type and VDD,
VSS and MCLR pin locations are said to be pin
compatible. This allows these different devices to
operate in the same socket. Compatible devices may
only requires minor software modification to allow
proper operation in the application socket
(ex., PIC16C56 and PIC16C61 devices). Not all
devices in the same package size are pin compatible;
for example, the PIC16C62 is compatible with the
PIC16C63, but not the PIC16C55.
Pin compatibility does not mean that the devices offer
the same features. As an example, the PIC16C54 is
pin compatible with the PIC16C71, but does not have
an A/D converter, weak pull-ups on PORTB, or
interrupts.

APPENDIX F: ERRATA FOR
PIC17C42 SILICON
The PIC17C42 devices that you have received have the
following anomalies. At present there is no intention for
future revisions to the present PIC17C42 silicon. If
these cause issues for the application, it is recommended that you select the PIC17C42A device.
Note:
1.
Design considerations
The device must not be operated outside of the specified voltage range. An external reset circuit must be
used to ensure the device is in reset when a brown-out
occurs or the VDD rise time is too long. Failure to
ensure that the device is in reset when device voltage
is out of specification may cause the device to lock-up
and ignore the MCLR pin.
New designs should use the PIC17C42A.
When the Oscillator Start-Up Timer (OST) is
enabled (in LF or XT oscillator modes), any interrupt that wakes the processor may cause a WDT
reset. This occurs when the WDT is greater than
or equal to 50% time-out period when the SLEEP
instruction is executed. This will not occur in
either the EC or RC oscillator modes.
Work-arounds
a)
b)
Always ensure that the CLRWDT instruction is
executed before the WDT increments past 50%
of the WDT period. This will keep the “false”
WDT reset from occurring.
When using the WDT as a normal timer (WDT
disabled), ensure that the WDT is less than or
equal to 50% time-out period when the SLEEP
instruction is executed. This can be done by
monitoring the TO bit for changing state from set
to clear. Example 1 shows putting the PIC17C42
to sleep.

selected to external clock, the overflow interrupt
flag will be set twice, once when the timer equals
the period, and again when the timer value is
reset to 0h. If the latency to clear TMRxIF is
greater than the time to the next clock pulse, no
problems will be noticed. If the latency is less
than the time to the next timer clock pulse, the
interrupt will be serviced twice.
Work-arounds
a)
b)
Ensure that the timer has rolled over to 0h before
clearing the flag bit.
Clear the timer in software. Clearing the timer in
software causes the period to be one count less
than expected.

ON-LINE SUPPORT
Microchip provides two methods of on-line support.
These are the Microchip BBS and the Microchip World
Wide Web (WWW) site.
Use Microchip's Bulletin Board Service (BBS) to get
current information and help about Microchip products.
Microchip provides the BBS communication channel for
you to use in extending your technical staff with microcontroller and memory experts.
To provide you with the most responsive service possible,
the Microchip systems team monitors the BBS, posts
the latest component data and software tool updates,
provides technical help and embedded systems
insights, and discusses how Microchip products provide project solutions.
The web site, like the BBS, is used by Microchip as a
means to make files and information easily available to
customers. To view the site, the user must have access
to the Internet and a web browser, such as Netscape or
Microsoft Explorer. Files are also available for FTP
download from our FTP site.
Connecting to the Microchip Internet Web Site
The Microchip web site is available by using your
favorite Internet browser to attach to:
www.microchip.com
The file transfer site is available by using an FTP service to connect to:
ftp.mchip.com/biz/mchip
The web site and file transfer site provide a variety of
services. Users may download files for the latest
Development Tools, Data Sheets, Application Notes,
User's Guides, Articles and Sample Programs. A variety of Microchip specific business information is also
available, including listings of Microchip sales offices,
distributors and factory representatives. Other data
available for consideration is:
• Latest Microchip Press Releases
• Technical Support Section with Frequently Asked
Questions
• Design Tips
• Device Errata
• Job Postings
• Microchip Consultant Program Member Listing
• Links to other useful web sites related to
Microchip Products
The procedure to connect will vary slightly from country
to country. Please check with your local CompuServe
agent for details if you have a problem. CompuServe
service allow multiple users various baud rates
depending on the local point of access.
The following connect procedure applies in most locations.
1. Set your modem to 8-bit, No parity, and One stop
(8N1). This is not the normal CompuServe setting
which is 7E1.
2. Dial your local CompuServe access number.
3. Depress the <Enter> key and a garbage string will
appear because CompuServe is expecting a 7E1
setting.
4. Type +, depress the <Enter> key and “Host Name:”
will appear.
5. Type MCHIPBBS, depress the <Enter> key and you
will be connected to the Microchip BBS.
In the United States, to find the CompuServe phone
number closest to you, set your modem to 7E1 and dial
(800) 848-4480 for 300-2400 baud or (800) 331-7166
for 9600-14400 baud connection. After the system
responds with “Host Name:”, type NETWORK, depress
the <Enter> key and follow CompuServe's directions.
For voice information (or calling from overseas), you
may call (614) 723-1550 for your local CompuServe
number.
Microchip regularly uses the Microchip BBS to distribute
technical information, application notes, source code,
errata sheets, bug reports, and interim patches for
Microchip systems software products. For each SIG, a
moderator monitors, scans, and approves or disapproves files submitted to the SIG. No executable files
are accepted from the user community in general to
limit the spread of computer viruses.
Systems Information and Upgrade Hot Line
The Systems Information and Upgrade Line provides
system users a listing of the latest versions of all of
Microchip's development systems software products.
Plus, this line provides information on how customers
can receive any currently available upgrade kits.The
Hot Line Numbers are:
1-800-755-2345 for U.S. and most of Canada, and
1-602-786-7302 for the rest of the world.
960513
Connecting to the Microchip BBS
Connect worldwide to the Microchip BBS using either
the Internet or the CompuServe communications network.
Internet:
You can telnet or ftp to the Microchip BBS at the
address:
mchipbbs.microchip.com
CompuServe Communications Network:
When using the BBS via the Compuserve Network,
in most cases, a local call is your only expense.
The Microchip BBS connection does not use CompuServe
membership services, therefore you do not need
CompuServe membership to join Microchip's BBS.
There is no charge for connecting to the Microchip BBS.
