Note the following details of the code protection feature on Microchip devices:
•
Microchip products meet the specification contained in their particular Microchip Data Sheet.
•
Microchip believes that its family of products is one of the most secure families of its kind on the market today, when used in the
intended manner and under normal conditions.
•
There are dishonest and possibly illegal methods used to breach the code protection feature. All of these methods, to our
knowledge, require using the Microchip products in a manner outside the operating specifications contained in Microchip's Data
Sheets. Most likely, the person doing so is engaged in theft of intellectual property.
•
Microchip is willing to work with the customer who is concerned about the integrity of their code.
•
Neither Microchip nor any other semiconductor manufacturer can guarantee the security of their code. Code protection does not
mean that we are guaranteeing the product as “unbreakable.”
Code protection is constantly evolving. We at Microchip are committed to continuously improving the code protection features of our
products. Attempts to break microchip’s code protection feature may be a violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. If such acts
allow unauthorized access to your software or other copyrighted work, you may have a right to sue for relief under that Act.

DEVICE OVERVIEW
This document contains device specific information for
the following devices:
• PIC18F2331
• PIC18F2431
• PIC18F4331
• PIC18F4431
This family offers the advantages of all PIC18 microcontrollers – namely, high computational performance
at an economical price, with the addition of high endurance enhanced Flash program memory and a highspeed 10-bit A/D converter. On top of these features,
the PIC18F2331/2431/4331/4431 family introduces
design enhancements that make these microcontrollers a logical choice for many high performance, power
control and motor control applications. These special
peripherals include:
• 14-bit resolution Power Control PWM Module
(PCPWM) with programmable dead time insertion
• Motion Feedback Module (MFM), including a
3-channel Input Capture (IC) Module and
Quadrature Encoder Interface (QEI)
• High-speed 10-bit A/D Converter (HSADC)
The PCPWM can generate up to eight complementary
PWM outputs with dead-band time insertion. Overdrive
current is detected by off-chip analog comparators or
the digital fault inputs (FLTA, FLTB).
The MFM Quadrature Encoder Interface provides
precise rotor position feedback and/or velocity
measurement. The MFM 3 X input capture or external
interrupts can be used to detect the rotor state for
electrically commutated motor applications using Hall
Sensor feedback, such as BLDC motor drives.
PIC18F2331/2431/4331/4431 devices also feature
Flash program memory and an internal RC oscillator
with built-in LP modes.

1.1.1
New Core Features
nanoWatt TECHNOLOGY
All of the devices in the PIC18F2331/2431/4331/4431
family incorporate a range of features that can significantly reduce power consumption during operation.
Key items include:
• Alternate Run Modes: By clocking the controller
from the Timer1 source or the internal oscillator
block, power consumption during code execution
can be reduced by as much as 90%.
• Multiple Idle Modes: The controller can also run
with its CPU core disabled, but the peripherals are
still active. In these states, power consumption
can be reduced even further, to as little as 4% of
normal operation requirements.
 2003 Microchip Technology Inc.
• On-the-fly Mode Switching: The power-managed modes are invoked by user code during
operation, allowing the user to incorporate power
saving ideas into their application’s software
design.
• Lower Consumption in Key Modules: The
power requirements for both Timer1 and the
Watchdog Timer have been reduced by up to
80%, with typical values of 1.1 and 2.1 µA,
respectively.
1.1.2
MULTIPLE OSCILLATOR OPTIONS
AND FEATURES
All of the devices in the PIC18F2331/2431/4331/4431
family offer nine different oscillator options, allowing
users a wide range of choices in developing application
hardware. These include:
• Four crystal modes, using crystals or ceramic
resonators.
• Two external clock modes, offering the option of
using two pins (oscillator input and a divide-by-4
clock output) or one pin (oscillator input, with the
second pin reassigned as general I/O).
• Two external RC oscillator modes, with the same
pin options as the external clock modes.
• An internal oscillator block, which provides an
8 MHz clock and an INTRC source (approximately 31 kHz, stable over temperature and VDD),
as well as a range of 6 user-selectable clock frequencies (from 125 kHz to 4 MHz) for a total of 8
clock frequencies.
Besides its availability as a clock source, the internal
oscillator block provides a stable reference source that
gives the family additional features for robust
operation:
• Fail-Safe Clock Monitor: This option constantly
monitors the main clock source against a
reference signal provided by the internal
oscillator. If a clock failure occurs, the controller is
switched to the internal oscillator block, allowing
for continued low speed operation or a safe
application shutdown.
• Two-Speed Start-up: This option allows the
internal oscillator to serve as the clock source
from Power-on Reset or wake-up from Sleep
mode, until the primary clock source is available.
This allows for code execution during what would
otherwise be the clock start-up interval, and can
even allow an application to perform routine
background activities and return to Sleep without
returning to full power operation.

Other Special Features
• Memory Endurance: The enhanced Flash cells
for both program memory and data EEPROM are
rated to last for many thousands of erase/write
cycles – up to 100,000 for program memory and
1,000,000 for EEPROM. Data retention without
refresh is conservatively estimated to be greater
than 100 years.
• Self-programmability: These devices can write
to their own program memory spaces under internal software control. By using a bootloader routine
located in the protected Boot Block at the top of
program memory, it becomes possible to create
an application that can update itself in the field.
• Power Control PWM Module: In PWM mode,
this module provides 1, 2 or 4 modulated outputs
for controlling half-bridge and full-bridge drivers.
Other features include Auto-Shutdown on fault
detection and Auto-Restart to reactivate outputs
once the condition has cleared.
• Enhanced USART: This serial communication
module is capable of standard RS-232 operation
using the internal oscillator block, removing the
need for an external crystal (and its accompanying power requirement) in applications that talk to
the outside world. This module also includes autobaud detect and LIN capability.
DS39616B-page 8
• High-speed 10-bit A/D Converter: This module
incorporates Programmable Acquisition Time,
allowing for a channel to be selected and a
conversion to be initiated without waiting for a
sampling period and thus, reducing code
overhead.
• Motion Feedback Module (MFM): This module
features a Quadrature Encoder Interface (QEI)
and an Input Capture (IC) module. The QEI
accepts two phase inputs (QEA, QEB) and one
index input (INDX) from an incremental encoder.
The QEI supports high and low precision position
tracking, direction status and change of direction
interrupt, and velocity measurement. The input
capture features 3 channels of independent input
capture with Timer5 as the time base, a special
event trigger to other modules, and an adjustable
noise filter on each IC input.
• Extended Watchdog Timer (WDT): This
enhanced version incorporates a 16-bit prescaler,
allowing a time-out range from 4 ms to over 2
minutes, that is stable across operating voltage
and temperature.

A Phase Locked Loop (PLL) circuit is provided as an
option for users who wish to use a lower frequency
crystal oscillator circuit, or to clock the device up to its
highest rated frequency from a crystal oscillator. This
may be useful for customers who are concerned with
EMI due to high-frequency crystals.
The HSPLL mode makes use of the HS mode oscillator
for frequencies up to 10 MHz. A PLL then multiplies the
oscillator output frequency by 4 to produce an internal
clock frequency up to 40 MHz.
The PLL is enabled only when the oscillator configuration bits are programmed for HSPLL mode. If
programmed for any other mode, the PLL is not
enabled.
Note 1: Higher capacitance increases the stability
of oscillator, but also increases the startup time.
FIGURE 2-3:
2: When operating below 3V VDD, or when
using certain ceramic resonators at any
voltage, it may be necessary to use the
HS mode or switch to a crystal oscillator.
3: Since each resonator/crystal has its own
characteristics, the user should consult
the resonator/crystal manufacturer for
appropriate

4: Rs may be required to avoid overdriving

The EC and ECIO oscillator modes require an external
clock source to be connected to the OSC1 pin. There is
no oscillator start-up time required after a Power-on
Reset or after an exit from Sleep mode.
In the EC Oscillator mode, the oscillator frequency
divided by 4 is available on the OSC2 pin. This signal
may be used for test purposes or to synchronize other
logic. Figure 2-4 shows the pin connections for the EC
Oscillator mode.

For timing insensitive applications, the “RC” and
“RCIO” device options offer additional cost savings.
The RC oscillator frequency is a function of the supply
voltage, the resistor (REXT) and capacitor (CEXT)
values and the operating temperature. In addition to
this, the oscillator frequency will vary from unit to unit
due to normal manufacturing variation. Furthermore,
the difference in lead frame capacitance between
package types will also affect the oscillation frequency,
especially for low CEXT values. The user also needs to
take into account variation due to tolerance of external
R and C components used. Figure 2-6 shows how the
R/C combination is connected.
In the RC Oscillator mode, the oscillator frequency
divided by 4 is available on the OSC2 pin. This signal
may be used for test purposes or to synchronize other
logic.

2.6.2
Internal Oscillator Block
The PIC18F2331/2431/4331/4431 devices include an
internal oscillator block, which generates two different
clock signals; either can be used as the system’s clock
source. This can eliminate the need for external
oscillator circuits on the OSC1 and/or OSC2 pins.
The main output (INTOSC) is an 8 MHz clock source,
which can be used to directly drive the system clock. It
also drives a postscaler, which can provide a range of
clock frequencies from 125 kHz to 4 MHz. The
INTOSC output is enabled when a system clock
frequency from 125 kHz to 8 MHz is selected.
The other clock source is the internal RC oscillator
(INTRC), which provides a 31 kHz output. The INTRC
oscillator is enabled by selecting the internal oscillator
block as the system clock source, or when any of the
following are enabled:
•
•
•
•
Power-up Timer
Fail-Safe Clock Monitor
Watchdog Timer
Two-Speed Start-up
These features are discussed in greater detail in
Section 22.0 “Special Features of the CPU”.
INTRC OUTPUT FREQUENCY
The internal oscillator block is calibrated at the factory
to produce an INTOSC output frequency of 8.0 MHz.
This changes the frequency of the INTRC source from
its nominal 31.25 kHz. Peripherals and features that
depend on the INTRC source will be affected by this
shift in frequency.
2.6.3
OSCTUNE REGISTER
The internal oscillator’s output has been calibrated at
the factory, but can be adjusted in the user's application. This is done by writing to the OSCTUNE register
(Register 2-1). The tuning sensitivity is constant
throughout the tuning range.
When the OSCTUNE register is modified, the INTOSC
and INTRC frequencies will begin shifting to the new
frequency. The INTRC clock will reach the new frequency within 8 clock cycles (approximately
8 * 32 µs = 256 µs). The INTOSC clock will stabilize
within 1 ms. Code execution continues during this shift.
There is no indication that the shift has occurred. Operation of features that depend on the INTRC clock
source frequency, such as the WDT, Fail-Safe Clock
Monitor and peripherals, will also be affected by the
change in frequency.
The clock source frequency (INTOSC direct, INTRC
direct or INTOSC postscaler) is selected by configuring
the IRCF bits of the OSCCON register (Register 2-2).
2.6.1
INTIO MODES
Using the internal oscillator as the clock source can
eliminate the need for up to two external oscillator pins,
which can then be used for digital I/O. Two distinct
configurations are available:
• In INTIO1 mode, the OSC2 pin outputs FOSC/4,
while OSC1 functions as RA7 for digital input and
output.
• In INTIO2 mode, OSC1 functions as RA7 and
OSC2 functions as RA6, both for digital input and
output.

2.7.1
Clock Sources and Oscillator
Switching
Like previous PIC18 devices, the PIC18F2331/2431/
4331/4431 devices include a feature that allows the
system clock source to be switched from the main
oscillator to an alternate low frequency clock source.
PIC18F2331/2431/4331/4431 devices offer two alternate clock sources. When enabled, these give additional options for switching to the various powermanaged operating modes.
Essentially, there are three clock sources for these
devices:
• Primary oscillators
• Secondary oscillators
• Internal oscillator block
The primary oscillators include the external crystal
and resonator modes, the external RC modes, the
external clock modes and the internal oscillator block.
The particular mode is defined on POR by the contents
of Configuration Register 1H. The details of these
modes are covered earlier in this chapter.
The secondary oscillators are those external sources
not connected to the OSC1 or OSC2 pins. These
sources may continue to operate even after the
controller is placed in a power-managed mode.
PIC18F2331/2431/4331/4431 devices offer only the
Timer1 oscillator as a secondary oscillator. This
oscillator, in all power-managed modes, is often the
time base for functions such as a real-time clock.
Most often, a 32.768 kHz watch crystal is connected
between the RC0/T1OSO and RC1/T1OSI pins. Like
the LP mode oscillator circuit, loading capacitors are
also connected from each pin to ground.
The Timer1 oscillator is discussed in greater detail in
Section 12.2 “Timer1 Oscillator”.
In addition to being a primary clock source, the internal
oscillator block is available as a power-managed
mode clock source. The INTRC source is also used as
the clock source for several special features, such as
the WDT and Fail-Safe Clock Monitor.
The clock sources for the PIC18F2331/2431/4331/
4431 devices are shown in Figure 2-8. See
Section 12.0 “Timer1 Module” for further details of
the Timer1 oscillator. See Section 22.1 “Configuration Bits” for Configuration register details.
OSCILLATOR CONTROL REGISTER
The OSCCON register (Register 2-2) controls several
aspects of the system clock’s operation, both in full
power operation and in power-managed modes.
The System Clock Select bits, SCS1:SCS0, select the
clock source that is used when the device is operating
in power-managed modes. The available clock sources
are the primary clock (defined in Configuration register
1H), the secondary clock (Timer1 oscillator) and the
internal oscillator block. The clock selection has no
effect until a SLEEP instruction is executed and the
device enters a power-managed mode of operation.
The SCS bits are cleared on all forms of Reset.
The Internal Oscillator Select bits, IRCF2:IRCF0, select
the frequency output of the internal oscillator block that
is used to drive the system clock. The choices are the
INTRC source, the INTOSC source (8 MHz) or one of
the six frequencies derived from the INTOSC
postscaler (125 kHz to 4 MHz). If the internal oscillator
block is supplying the system clock, changing the
states of these bits will have an immediate change on
the internal oscillator’s output.
The OSTS, IOFS and T1RUN bits indicate which clock
source is currently providing the system clock. The
OSTS indicates that the Oscillator Start-up Timer has
timed out, and the primary clock is providing the system
clock in primary clock modes. The IOFS bit indicates
when the internal oscillator block has stabilized, and is
providing the system clock in RC clock modes. The
T1RUN bit (T1CON<6>) indicates when the Timer1
oscillator is providing the system clock in secondary
clock modes. In power-managed modes, only one of
these three bits will be set at any time. If none of these
bits are set, the INTRC is providing the system clock, or
the internal oscillator block has just started and is not
yet stable.
The IDLEN bit controls the selective shut down of the
controller’s CPU in power-managed modes. The use of
these bits is discussed in more detail in Section 3.0
“Power-Managed Modes”
Note 1: The Timer1 oscillator must be enabled to
select the secondary clock source. The
Timer1 oscillator is enabled by setting the
T1OSCEN bit in the Timer1 Control register (T1CON<3>). If the Timer1 oscillator
is not enabled, then any attempt to select
a secondary clock source when executing a SLEEP instruction will be ignored.
2: It is recommended that the Timer1 oscillator be operating and stable before executing the SLEEP instruction, or a very
long delay may occur while the Timer1
oscillator starts.

OSCILLATOR TRANSITIONS
The PIC18F2331/2431/4331/4431 devices contain
circuitry to prevent clocking “glitches” when switching
between clock sources. A short pause in the system
clock occurs during the clock switch. The length of this
pause is between 8 and 9 clock periods of the new
clock source. This ensures that the new clock source is
stable and that its pulse width will not be less than the
shortest pulse width of the two clock sources.
Clock transitions are discussed in greater detail in
Section 3.1.2 “Entering Power-Managed Modes”.

Effects of Power-Managed Modes
on the Various Clock Sources
When the device executes a SLEEP instruction, the
system is switched to one of the power-managed
modes, depending on the state of the IDLEN and
SCS1:SCS0 bits of the OSCCON register. See
Section 3.0 “Power-Managed Modes” for details.
When PRI_IDLE mode is selected, the designated
primary oscillator continues to run without interruption.
For all other power-managed modes, the oscillator
using the OSC1 pin is disabled. The OSC1 pin (and
OSC2 pin, if used by the oscillator) will stop oscillating.
In secondary clock modes (SEC_RUN and
SEC_IDLE), the Timer1 oscillator is operating and
providing the system clock. The Timer1 oscillator may
also run in all power-managed modes if required to
clock Timer1.
In internal oscillator modes (RC_RUN and RC_IDLE),
the internal oscillator block provides the system clock
source. The INTRC output can be used directly to
provide the system clock, and may be enabled to
support various special features, regardless of the
power-managed mode (see Sections 22.2 through
22.4). The INTOSC output at 8 MHz may be used
directly to clock the system, or may be divided down
first. The INTOSC output is disabled if the system clock
is provided directly from the INTRC output.
2.9
Power-up Delays
Power-up delays are controlled by two timers, so that
no external Reset circuitry is required for most
applications. The delays ensure that the device is kept
in Reset until the device power supply is stable under
normal circumstances, and the primary clock is
operating and stable. For additional information on
power-up delays, see Sections 4.1 through 4.5.
The first timer is the Power-up Timer (PWRT), which
provides a fixed delay on power-up (parameter 33,
Table 25-8), if enabled, in Configuration register 2L.
The second timer is the Oscillator Start-up Timer
(OST), intended to keep the chip in Reset until the crystal oscillator is stable (LP, XT and HS modes). The OST
does this by counting 1024 oscillator cycles before
allowing the oscillator to clock the device.
When the HSPLL Oscillator mode is selected, the
device is kept in Reset for an additional 2 ms, following
the HS mode OST delay, so the PLL can lock to the
incoming clock frequency.
There is a delay of 5 to 10 µs following POR, while the
controller becomes ready to execute instructions. This
delay runs concurrently with any other delays. This
may be the only delay that occurs when any of the EC,
RC or INTIO modes are used as the primary clock
source.
If the Sleep mode is selected, all clock sources are
stopped. Since all the transistor switching currents
have been stopped, Sleep mode achieves the lowest
current consumption of the device (only leakage
currents).
Enabling any on-chip feature that will operate during
Sleep will increase the current consumed during Sleep.
The INTRC is required to support WDT operation. The
Timer1 oscillator may be operating to support a realtime clock. Other features may be operating that do not
require a system clock source (i.e., SSP slave, PSP,
INTn pins, A/D conversions and others).

POWER-MANAGED MODES
3.1
Selecting Power-Managed Modes
The PIC18F2331/2431/4331/4431 devices offer a total
of six operating modes for more efficient power
management (see Table 3-1). These operating modes
provide a variety of options for selective power
conservation in applications where resources may be
limited (i.e., battery-powered devices).
Selecting a power-managed mode requires deciding if
the CPU is to be clocked or not, and selecting a clock
source. The IDLEN bit controls CPU clocking, while the
SC1:SCS0 bits select a clock source. The individual
modes, bit settings, clock sources and affected
modules are summarized in Table 3-1.
There are three categories of power-managed modes:
3.1.1
• Sleep mode
• Idle modes
• Run modes
CLOCK SOURCES
The clock source is selected by setting the SCS bits of
the OSCCON register. Three clock sources are available for use in power-managed idle modes: the primary
clock (as configured in Configuration Register 1H), the
secondary clock (Timer1 oscillator), and the internal
oscillator block. The secondary and internal oscillator
block sources are available for the power-managed
modes (PRI_RUN mode is the normal full power execution mode; the CPU and peripherals are clocked by
the primary oscillator source).
These categories define which portions of the device
are clocked and sometimes, what speed. The run and
idle modes may use any of the three available clock
sources (Primary, Secondary or INTOSC multiplexer);
the Sleep mode does not use a clock source.
The clock switching feature offered in other PIC18
devices (i.e., using the Timer1 oscillator in place of the
primary oscillator), and the Sleep mode offered by all
PICmicro® devices (where all system clocks are
stopped) are both offered in the PIC18F2331/2431/
4331/4431 devices (SEC_RUN and Sleep modes,
respectively). However, additional power-managed
modes are available that allow the user greater flexibility in determining what portions of the device are operating. The power-managed modes are event driven;
that is, some specific event must occur for the device to
enter or (more particularly) exit these operating modes.
For PIC18F2331/2431/4331/4431 devices, the powermanaged modes are invoked by using the existing
SLEEP instruction. All modes exit to PRI_RUN mode
when triggered by an interrupt, a Reset or a WDT timeout (PRI_RUN mode is the normal full power execution
mode; the CPU and peripherals are clocked by the primary oscillator source). In addition, power-managed
run modes may also exit to Sleep mode or their
corresponding idle mode.

3.1.2
ENTERING POWER-MANAGED
MODES
In general, entry, exit and switching between powermanaged clock sources requires clock source switching. In each case, the sequence of events is the same.
Any change in the power-managed mode begins with
loading the OSCCON register and executing a SLEEP
instruction. The SCS1:SCS0 bits select one of three
power-managed clock sources; the primary clock (as
defined in Configuration Register 1H), the secondary
clock (the Timer1 oscillator) and the internal oscillator
block (used in RC modes). Modifying the SCS bits will
have no effect until a SLEEP instruction is executed.
Entry to the power-managed mode is triggered by the
execution of a SLEEP instruction.
Figure 3-5 shows how the system is clocked while
switching from the primary clock to the Timer1 oscillator. When the SLEEP instruction is executed, clocks to
the device are stopped at the beginning of the next
instruction cycle. Eight clock cycles from the new clock
source are counted to synchronize with the new clock
source. After eight clock pulses from the new clock
source are counted, clocks from the new clock source
resume clocking the system. The actual length of the
pause is between eight and nine clock periods from the
new clock source. This ensures that the new clock
source is stable and that its pulse width will not be less
than the shortest pulse width of the two clock sources.
Three bits indicate the current clock source: OSTS and
IOFS in the OSCCON register, and T1RUN in the
T1CON register. Only one of these bits will be set while
in a power-managed mode other than PRI_RUN. When
the OSTS bit is set, the primary clock is providing the
system clock. When the IOFS bit is set, the INTOSC
output is providing a stable 8 MHz clock source and is
providing the system clock. When the T1RUN bit is set,
the Timer1 oscillator is providing the system clock. If
none of these bits are set, then either the INTRC clock
source is clocking the system, or the INTOSC source is
not yet stable.
If the internal oscillator block is configured as the primary clock source in Configuration Register 1H, then
both the OSTS and IOFS bits may be set when in
PRI_RUN or PRI_IDLE modes. This indicates that the
primary clock (INTOSC output) is generating a stable
8 MHz output. Entering an RC power-managed mode
(same frequency) would clear the OSTS bit.
DS39616B-page 32
Note 1: Caution should be used when modifying a
single IRCF bit. If VDD is less than 3V, it is
possible to select a higher clock speed
than is supported by the low VDD.
Improper device operation may result if
the VDD/FOSC specifications are violated.
2: Executing a SLEEP instruction does not
necessarily place the device into Sleep
mode; executing a SLEEP instruction is
simply a trigger to place the controller into
a power-managed mode selected by the
OSCCON register, one of which is Sleep
mode.
3.1.3
MULTIPLE SLEEP COMMANDS
The power-managed mode that is invoked with the
SLEEP instruction is determined by the settings of the
IDLEN and SCS bits at the time the instruction is executed. If another SLEEP instruction is executed, the
device will enter the power-managed mode specified
by these same bits at that time. If the bits have
changed, the device will enter the new power-managed
mode specified by the new bit settings.
3.1.4
COMPARISONS BETWEEN RUN
AND IDLE MODES
Clock source selection for the run modes is identical to
the corresponding idle modes. When a SLEEP instruction is executed, the SCS bits in the OSCCON register
are used to switch to a different clock source. As a
result, if there is a change of clock source at the time a
SLEEP instruction is executed, a clock switch will occur.
In idle modes, the CPU is not clocked and is not running. In run modes, the CPU is clocked and executing
code. This difference modifies the operation of the
WDT when it times out. In idle modes, a WDT time-out
results in a wake from power-managed modes. In run
modes, a WDT time-out results in a WDT Reset (see
Table 3-2).
During a wake-up from an idle mode, the CPU starts
executing code by entering the corresponding run
mode, until the primary clock becomes ready. When the
primary clock becomes ready, the clock source is automatically switched to the primary clock. The IDLEN and
SCS bits are unchanged during and after the wake-up.
Figure 3-2 shows how the system is clocked during the
clock source switch. The example assumes the device
was in SEC_IDLE or SEC_RUN mode when a wake is
triggered (the primary clock was configured in HSPLL
mode).

Idle Modes
The power-managed Sleep mode in the PIC18F2331/
2431/4331/4431 devices is identical to that offered in
all other PICmicro® controllers. It is entered by clearing
the IDLEN and SCS1:SCS0 bits (this is the Reset
state), and executing the SLEEP instruction. This shuts
down the primary oscillator and the OSTS bit is cleared
(see Figure 3-1).
The IDLEN bit allows the controller’s CPU to be selectively shut down while the peripherals continue to operate. Clearing IDLEN allows the CPU to be clocked.
Setting IDLEN disables clocks to the CPU, effectively
stopping program execution (see Register 2-2). The
peripherals continue to be clocked regardless of the
setting of the IDLEN bit.
When a wake event occurs in Sleep mode (by interrupt,
Reset, or WDT time-out), the system will not be clocked
until the primary clock source becomes ready (see
Figure 3-2), or it will be clocked from the internal oscillator block if either the Two-Speed Start-up or the FailSafe Clock Monitor are enabled (see Section 22.0
“Special Features of the CPU”). In either case, the
OSTS bit is set when the primary clock provides the
system clocks. The IDLEN and SCS bits are not
affected by the wake-up.
There is one exception to how the IDLEN bit functions.
When all the low-power OSCCON bits are cleared
(IDLEN:SCS1:SCS0 = 000), the device enters Sleep
mode upon the execution of the SLEEP instruction. This
is both the Reset state of the OSCCON register and the
setting that selects Sleep mode. This maintains compatibility with other PICmicro devices that do not offer
power-managed modes.
If the Idle Enable bit, IDLEN (OSCCON<7>), is set to a
‘1’ when a SLEEP instruction is executed, the
peripherals will be clocked from the clock source
selected using the SCS1:SCS0 bits; however, the CPU
will not be clocked. Since the CPU is not executing
instructions, the only exits from any of the idle modes
are by interrupt, WDT time-out or a Reset.
When a wake event occurs, CPU execution is delayed
approximately 10 µs while it becomes ready to execute
code. When the CPU begins executing code, it is
clocked by the same clock source as was selected in
the power-managed mode (i.e., when waking from
RC_IDLE mode, the internal oscillator block will clock
the CPU and peripherals until the primary clock source
becomes ready – this is essentially RC_RUN mode).
This continues until the primary clock source becomes
ready. When the primary clock becomes ready, the
OSTS bit is set, and the system clock source is
switched to the primary clock (see Figure 3-4). The
IDLEN and SCS bits are not affected by the wake-up.
While in any idle mode or the Sleep mode, a WDT timeout will result in a WDT wake-up to full power operation.

3.3.1
PRI_IDLE MODE
This mode is unique among the three low-power idle
modes, in that it does not disable the primary system
clock. For timing sensitive applications, this allows for
the fastest resumption of device operation with its more
accurate primary clock source, since the clock source
does not have to “warm up” or transition from another
oscillator.
When a wake event occurs, the CPU is clocked from the
primary clock source. A delay of approximately 10 µs is
required between the wake event and when code execution starts. This is required to allow the CPU to
become ready to execute instructions. After the wakeup, the OSTS bit remains set. The IDLEN and SCS bits
are not affected by the wake-up (see Figure 3-4).
PRI_IDLE mode is entered by setting the IDLEN bit,
clearing the SCS bits, and executing a SLEEP instruction. Although the CPU is disabled, the peripherals
continue to be clocked from the primary clock source
specified in Configuration Register 1H. The OSTS bit
remains set in PRI_IDLE mode (see Figure 3-3).

SEC_IDLE MODE
When a wake event occurs, the peripherals continue to
be clocked from the Timer1 oscillator. After a 10 µs
delay following the wake event, the CPU begins executing code, being clocked by the Timer1 oscillator. The
microcontroller operates in SEC_RUN mode until the
primary clock becomes ready. When the primary clock
becomes ready, a clock switch back to the primary clock
occurs (see Figure 3-6). When the clock switch is complete, the T1RUN bit is cleared, the OSTS bit is set and
the primary clock is providing the system clock. The
IDLEN and SCS bits are not affected by the wake-up;
the Timer1 oscillator continues to run.
In SEC_IDLE mode, the CPU is disabled, but the
peripherals continue to be clocked from the Timer1
oscillator. This mode is entered by setting the Idle bit,
modifying to SCS1:SCS0 = 01, and executing a SLEEP
instruction. When the clock source is switched (see
Figure 3-5) to the Timer1 oscillator, the primary oscillator is shut down, the OSTS bit is cleared and the
T1RUN bit is set.
Note:
The Timer1 oscillator should already be
running prior to entering SEC_IDLE mode.
If the T1OSCEN bit is not set when the
SLEEP instruction is executed, a forced
NOP will be executed instead and entry to
SEC_IDLE mode will not occur. If the
Timer1 oscillator is enabled, but not yet
running, peripheral clocks will be delayed
until the oscillator has started; in such situations, initial oscillator operation is far
from stable and unpredictable operation
may result.

was executed, and the INTOSC source was already
stable, the IOFS bit will remain set. If the IRCF bits are
all clear, the INTOSC output is not enabled and the
IOFS bit will remain clear; there will be no indication of
the current clock source.
In RC_IDLE mode, the CPU is disabled, but the peripherals continue to be clocked from the internal oscillator
block using the INTOSC multiplexer. This mode allows
for controllable power conservation during Idle periods.
When a wake event occurs, the peripherals continue to
be clocked from the INTOSC multiplexer. After a 10 µs
delay following the wake event, the CPU begins executing code, being clocked by the INTOSC multiplexer.
The microcontroller operates in RC_RUN mode until
the primary clock becomes ready. When the primary
clock becomes ready, a clock switch back to the primary clock occurs (see Figure 3-8). When the clock
switch is complete, the IOFS bit is cleared, the OSTS
bit is set, and the primary clock is providing the system
clock. The IDLEN and SCS bits are not affected by the
wake-up. The INTRC source will continue to run if
either the WDT or the Fail-Safe Clock Monitor is
enabled.
This mode is entered by setting the IDLEN bit, setting
SCS1 (SCS0 is ignored), and executing a SLEEP
instruction. The INTOSC multiplexer may be used to
select a higher clock frequency by modifying the IRCF
bits before executing the SLEEP instruction. When the
clock source is switched to the INTOSC multiplexer
(see Figure 3-7), the primary oscillator is shut down,
and the OSTS bit is cleared.
If the IRCF bits are set to a non-zero value (thus
enabling the INTOSC output), the IOFS bit becomes
set after the INTOSC output becomes stable, in about
1 ms. Clocks to the peripherals continue while the
INTOSC source stabilizes. If the IRCF bits were previously at a non-zero value before the SLEEP instruction

3.4
Run Modes
SEC_RUN mode is entered by clearing the IDLEN bit,
setting SCS1:SCS0 = 01, and executing a SLEEP
instruction. The system clock source is switched to the
Timer1 oscillator (see Figure 3-9), the primary oscillator is shut down, the T1RUN bit (T1CON<6>) is set and
the OSTS bit is cleared.
If the IDLEN bit is clear when a SLEEP instruction is
executed, the CPU and peripherals are both clocked
from the source selected using the SCS1:SCS0 bits.
While these operating modes may not afford the power
conservation of Idle or Sleep modes, they do allow the
device to continue executing instructions by using a
lower frequency clock source. RC_RUN mode also
offers the possibility of executing code at a frequency
greater than the primary clock.
Note:
Wake-up from a power-managed run mode can be triggered by an interrupt, or any Reset, to return to full
power operation. As the CPU is executing code in run
modes, several additional exits from run modes are
possible. They include exit to Sleep mode, exit to a corresponding idle mode, and exit by executing a RESET
instruction. While the device is in any of the powermanaged run modes, a WDT time-out will result in a
WDT Reset.
3.4.1
When a wake event occurs, the peripherals and CPU
continue to be clocked from the Timer1 oscillator while
the primary clock is started. When the primary clock
becomes ready, a clock switch back to the primary clock
occurs (see Figure 3-6). When the clock switch is complete, the T1RUN bit is cleared, the OSTS bit is set, and
the primary clock is providing the system clock. The
IDLEN and SCS bits are not affected by the wake-up;
the Timer1 oscillator continues to run.
PRI_RUN MODE
The PRI_RUN mode is the normal full power execution
mode. If the SLEEP instruction is never executed, the
microcontroller operates in this mode (a SLEEP instruction is executed to enter all other power-managed
modes). All other power-managed modes exit to
PRI_RUN mode when an interrupt or WDT time-out
occur.
Firmware can force an exit from SEC_RUN mode. By
clearing the T1OSCEN bit (T1CON<3>), an exit from
SEC_RUN back to normal full power operation is triggered. The Timer1 oscillator will continue to run and
provide the system clock even though the T1OSCEN bit
is cleared. The primary clock is started. When the primary clock becomes ready, a clock switch back to the
primary clock occurs (see Figure 3-6). When the clock
switch is complete, the Timer1 oscillator is disabled, the
T1RUN bit is cleared, the OSTS bit is set and the primary clock provides the system clock. The IDLEN and
SCS bits are not affected by the wake-up.
There is no entry to PRI_RUN mode. The OSTS bit is
set. The IOFS bit may be set if the internal oscillator
block is the primary clock source (see Section 2.7.1
“Oscillator Control Register”).
3.4.2
SEC_RUN MODE
The SEC_RUN mode is the compatible mode to the
“clock switching” feature offered in other PIC18
devices. In this mode, the CPU and peripherals are
clocked from the Timer1 oscillator. This gives users the
option of lower power consumption while still using a

The Timer1 oscillator should already be
running prior to entering SEC_RUN mode.
If the T1OSCEN bit is not set when the
SLEEP instruction is executed, a forced
NOP will be executed instead and entry to
SEC_IDLE mode will not occur. If the
Timer1 oscillator is enabled, but not yet
running, system clocks will be delayed
until the oscillator has started. In such
situations, initial oscillator operation is far
from stable and unpredictable operation
may result.

RC_RUN MODE
Note:
In RC_RUN mode, the CPU and peripherals are
clocked from the internal oscillator block using the
INTOSC multiplexer, and the primary clock is shut
down. When using the INTRC source, this mode provides the best power conservation of all the run modes,
while still executing code. This mode works well for
user applications that are not highly timing sensitive, or
do not require high-speed clocks at all times.
If the IRCF bits are all clear, the INTOSC output is not
enabled, and the IOFS bit will remain clear; there will
be no indication of the current clock source. The INTRC
source is providing the system clocks.
If the primary clock source is the internal oscillator
block (either of the INTIO1 or INTIO2 oscillators), there
are no distinguishable differences between PRI_RUN
and RC_RUN modes during execution. However, a
clock switch delay will occur during entry to, and exit
from, RC_RUN mode. Therefore, if the primary clock
source is the internal oscillator block, the use of
RC_RUN mode is not recommended.
If the IRCF bits are changed from all clear (thus
enabling the INTOSC output), the IOFS bit becomes
set after the INTOSC output becomes stable. Clocks to
the system continue while the INTOSC source
stabilizes in approximately 1 ms.
If the IRCF bits were previously at a non-zero value
before the SLEEP instruction was executed, and the
INTOSC source was already stable, the IOFS bit will
remain set.
This mode is entered by clearing the IDLEN bit, setting
SCS1 (SCS0 is ignored) and executing a SLEEP
instruction. The IRCF bits may select the clock
frequency before the SLEEP instruction is executed.
When the clock source is switched to the INTOSC
multiplexer (see Figure 3-10), the primary oscillator is
shut down and the OSTS bit is cleared.
When a wake event occurs, the system continues to be
clocked from the INTOSC multiplexer while the primary
clock is started. When the primary clock becomes
ready, a clock switch to the primary clock occurs (see
Figure 3-8). When the clock switch is complete, the
IOFS bit is cleared, the OSTS bit is set and the primary
clock provides the system clock. The IDLEN and SCS
bits are not affected by the wake-up. The INTRC
source will continue to run if either the WDT or the
Fail-Safe Clock Monitor is enabled.
The IRCF bits may be modified at any time to immediately change the system clock speed. Executing a
SLEEP instruction is not required to select a new clock
frequency from the INTOSC multiplexer.
FIGURE 3-10:
Caution should be used when modifying a
single IRCF bit. If VDD is less than 3V, it is
possible to select a higher clock speed
than is supported by the low VDD.
Improper device operation may result if
the VDD/FOSC specifications are violated.

3.4.4
EXIT TO IDLE MODE
3.5
An exit from a power-managed run mode to its corresponding idle mode is executed by setting the IDLEN
bit and executing a SLEEP instruction. The CPU is
halted at the beginning of the instruction following the
SLEEP instruction. There are no changes to any of the
clock source status bits (OSTS, IOFS, or T1RUN).
While the CPU is halted, the peripherals continue to be
clocked from the previously selected clock source.
An exit from any of the power-managed modes is triggered by an interrupt, a Reset or a WDT time-out. This
section discusses the triggers that cause exits from
power-managed modes. The clocking subsystem
actions are discussed in each of the power-managed
modes (see Sections 3.2 through 3.4).
Note:
3.4.5
EXIT TO SLEEP MODE
An exit from a power-managed run mode to Sleep
mode is executed by clearing the IDLEN and
SCS1:SCS0 bits and executing a SLEEP instruction.
The code is no different than the method used to invoke
Sleep mode from the normal operating (full power)
mode.
The primary clock and internal oscillator block are disabled. The INTRC will continue to operate if the WDT
is enabled. The Timer1 oscillator will continue to run, if
enabled, in the T1CON register. All clock source status
bits are cleared (OSTS, IOFS and T1RUN).
DS39616B-page 40
Wake From Power-Managed
Modes
If application code is timing sensitive, it
should wait for the OSTS bit to become set
before continuing. Use the interval during
the Low-power exit sequence (before
OSTS is set) to perform timing insensitive
“housekeeping” tasks.
Device behavior during Low-power mode exits is
summarized in Table 3-3.
3.5.1
EXIT BY INTERRUPT
Any of the available interrupt sources can cause the
device to exit a power-managed mode and resume full
power operation. To enable this functionality, an interrupt source must be enabled by setting its enable bit in
one of the INTCON or PIE registers. The exit sequence
is initiated when the corresponding interrupt flag bit is
set. On all exits from Low-power mode by interrupt,
code execution branches to the interrupt vector if the
GIE/GIEH bit (INTCON<7>) is set. Otherwise, code
execution continues or resumes without branching
(see Section 9.0 “Interrupts”).

3.5.2
EXIT BY RESET
3.5.4
Normally, the device is held in Reset by the Oscillator
Start-up Timer (OST) until the primary clock (defined in
Configuration register 1H) becomes ready. At that time,
the OSTS bit is set and the device begins executing
code.
Code execution can begin before the primary clock
becomes ready. If either the Two-Speed Start-up (see
Section 22.3 “Two-Speed Start-up”) or Fail-Safe
Clock Monitor (see Section 22.4 “Fail-Safe Clock
Monitor”) are enabled in Configuration Register 1H,
the device may begin execution as soon as the Reset
source has cleared. Execution is clocked by the
INTOSC multiplexer driven by the internal oscillator
block. Since the OSCCON register is cleared following
all Resets, the INTRC clock source is selected. A
higher speed clock may be selected by modifying the
IRCF bits in the OSCCON register. Execution is
clocked by the internal oscillator block until either the
primary clock becomes ready, or a power-managed
mode is entered before the primary clock becomes
ready; the primary clock is then shut down.
3.5.3
EXIT BY WDT TIME-OUT
A WDT time-out will cause different actions depending
on which power-managed mode the device is in when
the time-out occurs.
If the device is not executing code (all idle modes and
Sleep mode), the time-out will result in a wake from the
power-managed mode (see Section 3.2 “Sleep
Mode” through Section 3.4 “Run Modes”).
If the device is executing code (all run modes), the
time-out will result in a WDT Reset (see Section 22.2
“Watchdog Timer (WDT)”).
The WDT timer and postscaler are cleared by executing a SLEEP or CLRWDT instruction, the loss of a currently selected clock source (if the Fail-Safe Clock
Monitor is enabled), and modifying the IRCF bits in the
OSCCON register if the internal oscillator block is the
system clock source.
DS39616B-page 42
EXIT WITHOUT AN OSCILLATOR
START-UP DELAY
Certain exits from power-managed modes do not
invoke the OST at all. These are:
• PRI_IDLE mode where the primary clock source
is not stopped; and
• the primary clock source is not any of LP, XT, HS
or HSPLL modes.
In these cases, the primary clock source either does
not require an oscillator start-up delay, since it is
already running (PRI_IDLE), or normally does not
require an oscillator start-up delay (RC, EC, and INTIO
oscillator modes).
However, a fixed delay (approximately 10 µs) following
the wake event is required when leaving Sleep and idle
modes. This delay is required for the CPU to prepare
for execution. Instruction execution resumes on the first
clock cycle following this delay.
3.6
INTOSC Frequency Drift
The factory calibrates the internal oscillator block output (INTOSC) for 8 MHz. However, this frequency may
drift as VDD or temperature changes, which can affect
the controller operation in a variety of ways.
It is possible to adjust the INTOSC frequency by modifying the value in the OSCTUNE register. This has the
side effect that the INTRC clock source frequency is
also affected. However, the features that use the
INTRC source often do not require an exact frequency.
These features include the Fail-Safe Clock Monitor, the
Watchdog Timer and the RC_RUN/RC_IDLE modes
when the INTRC clock source is selected.
Being able to adjust the INTOSC requires knowing
when an adjustment is required, in which direction it
should be made, and in some cases, how large a
change is needed. Three examples follow, but other
techniques may be used.

3.6.1
EXAMPLE – USART
3.6.3
An adjustment may be indicated when the USART
begins to generate framing errors, or receives data with
errors while in Asynchronous mode. Framing errors
indicate that the system clock frequency is too high –
try decrementing the value in the OSCTUNE register to
reduce the system clock frequency. Errors in data
may suggest that the system clock speed is too low –
increment OSCTUNE.
3.6.2
EXAMPLE – TIMERS
This technique compares system clock speed to some
reference clock. Two timers may be used; one timer is
clocked by the peripheral clock, while the other is
clocked by a fixed reference source, such as the
Timer1 oscillator.
Both timers are cleared, but the timer clocked by the
reference generates interrupts. When an interrupt
occurs, the internally clocked timer is read and both
timers are cleared. If the internally clocked timer value
is greater than expected, then the internal oscillator
block is running too fast – decrement OSCTUNE.
 2003 Microchip Technology Inc.
EXAMPLE – CCP IN CAPTURE
MODE
A CCP module can use free running Timer1, clocked by
the internal oscillator block and an external event with
a known period (i.e., AC power frequency). The time of
the first event is captured in the CCPRxH:CCPRxL
registers and is recorded for use later. When the
second event causes a capture, the time of the first
event is subtracted from the time of the second event.
Since the period of the external event is known, the
time difference between events can be calculated.
If the measured time is much greater than the
calculated time, the internal oscillator block is running
too fast – decrement OSCTUNE. If the measured time
is much less than the calculated time, the internal
oscillator block is running too slow – increment
OSCTUNE.

A simplified block diagram of the On-Chip Reset Circuit
is shown in Figure 4-1.
The enhanced MCU devices have a MCLR noise filter
in the MCLR Reset path. The filter will detect and
ignore small pulses.
Most registers are unaffected by a Reset. Their status
is unknown on POR and unchanged by all other
Resets. The other registers are forced to a “Reset
state” depending on the type of Reset that occurred.
FIGURE 4-1:
Most registers are not affected by a WDT wake-up,
since this is viewed as the resumption of normal
operation. Status bits from the RCON register, RI, TO,
PD, POR and BOR, are set or cleared differently in
different Reset situations, as indicated in Table 4-2.
These bits are used in software to determine the nature
of the Reset. See Table 4-3 for a full description of the
Reset states of all registers.
The MCLR pin is not driven low by any internal Resets,
including the WDT.
The MCLR input provided by the MCLR pin can be disabled with the MCLRE bit in Configuration Register 3H
(CONFIG3H<7>). See Section 22.1 “Configuration
Bits” for more information.

Power-on Reset (POR)
4.3
A Power-on Reset pulse is generated on-chip when
VDD rise is detected. To take advantage of the POR circuitry, just tie the MCLR pin through a resistor (1k to
10 kΩ) to VDD. This will eliminate external RC components usually needed to create a Power-on Reset
delay. A minimum rise rate for VDD is specified
(parameter D004). For a slow rise time, see Figure 4-2.
When the device starts normal operation (i.e., exits the
Reset condition), device operating parameters (voltage, frequency, temperature, etc.) must be met to
ensure operation. If these conditions are not met, the
device must be held in Reset until the operating
conditions are met.

Note 1: External Power-on Reset circuit is

2: R < 40 kΩ is recommended to make
sure that the voltage drop across R does
not violate the device’s electrical specification.
3: R1 ≥ 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).
4.2
Power-up Timer (PWRT)
The Power-up Timer (PWRT) of the PIC18F2331/2431/
4331/4431 devices is an 11-bit counter, which uses the
INTRC source as the clock input. This yields a count of
2048 x 32 µs = 65.6 ms. While the PWRT is counting,
the device is held in Reset.
The power-up time delay depends on the INTRC clock
and will vary from chip-to-chip due to temperature and
process variation. See DC parameter #33 for details.
The PWRT is enabled by clearing configuration bit
PWRTEN.
DS39616B-page 46
The Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) provides a 1024
oscillator cycle (from OSC1 input) delay after the
PWRT delay is over (parameter #33). This ensures that
the crystal oscillator or resonator has started and
stabilized.
The OST time-out is invoked only for XT, LP, HS and
HSPLL modes, and only on Power-on Reset or on exit
from most power-managed modes.
4.4
PLL Lock Time-out
With the PLL enabled in its PLL mode, the time-out
sequence following a Power-on Reset is slightly different from other oscillator modes. A portion of the Powerup Timer is used to provide a fixed time-out that is sufficient for the PLL to lock to the main oscillator frequency. This PLL lock time-out (TPLL) is typically 2 ms
and follows the oscillator start-up time-out.
4.5
VDD
VDD
Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST)
Brown-out Reset (BOR)
A configuration bit, BOREN, can disable (if clear/
programmed) or enable (if set) the Brown-out Reset circuitry. If VDD falls below VBOR (parameter D005) for
greater than TBOR (parameter #35), the brown-out situation will reset the chip. A Reset may not occur if VDD
falls below VBOR for less than TBOR. The chip will
remain in Brown-out Reset until VDD rises above VBOR.
If the Power-up Timer is enabled, it will be invoked after
VDD rises above VBOR; it then will keep the chip in
Reset for an additional time delay TPWRT (parameter
#33). If VDD drops below VBOR while the Power-up
Timer is running, the chip will go back into a Brown-out
Reset and the Power-up Timer will be initialized. Once
VDD rises above VBOR, the Power-up Timer will execute
the additional time delay. Enabling BOR Reset does
not automatically enable the PWRT.
4.6
Time-out Sequence
On power-up, the time-out sequence is as follows:
First, after the POR pulse has cleared, PWRT time-out
is invoked (if enabled). Then, the OST is activated. The
total time-out will vary based on oscillator configuration
and the status of the PWRT. For example, in RC mode
with the PWRT disabled, there will be no time-out at all.
Figures 4-3 through 4-7 depict time-out sequences on
power-up.
Since the time-outs occur from the POR pulse, if MCLR
is kept low long enough, all time-outs will expire. Bringing MCLR high will begin execution immediately
(Figure 4-5). This is useful for testing purposes or to
synchronize more than one PIC18FXXXX device
operating in parallel.
Table 4-2 shows the Reset conditions for some Special
Function registers, while Table 4-3 shows the Reset
conditions for all the registers.

Legend: u = unchanged, x = unknown, - = unimplemented bit, read as ‘0’, q = value depends on condition.
Shaded cells indicate conditions do not apply for the designated device.
Note 1: One or more bits in the INTCONx or PIRx registers will be affected (to cause wake-up).
2: When the wake-up is due to an interrupt and the GIEL or GIEH bit is set, the PC is loaded with the interrupt
vector (0008h or 0018h).
3: When the wake-up is due to an interrupt and the GIEL or GIEH bit is set, the TOSU, TOSH and TOSL are
updated with the current value of the PC. The STKPTR is modified to point to the next location in the
hardware stack.
4: See Table 4-2 for Reset value for specific condition.
5: Bits 6 and 7 of PORTA, LATA and TRISA are enabled, depending on the Oscillator mode selected. When
not enabled as PORTA pins, they are disabled and read ‘0’.
6: Bit 3 of PORTE and LATE are enabled if MCLR functionality is disabled. When not enabled as the PORTE
pin, they are disabled and read as ‘0’. The 28-pin devices have only RE3 on PORTE when MCLR is
disabled.

MEMORY ORGANIZATION
5.1
There are three memory types in enhanced MCU
devices. These memory types are:
• Program Memory
• Data RAM
• Data EEPROM
Program Memory Organization
A 21-bit program counter is capable of addressing the
2-Mbyte program memory space. Accessing a location
between the physically implemented memory and the
2-Mbyte address will cause a read of all ‘0’s (a NOP
instruction).
Data and program memory use separate busses,
which allows for concurrent access of these types.
The PIC18F2331 and PIC18F4331 each have
8 Kbytes of Flash memory and can store up to 4,096
single-word instructions.
Additional detailed information for Flash program memory and data EEPROM is provided in Section 6.0
“Flash Program Memory” and Section 7.0 “Data
EEPROM Memory”, respectively.
The PIC18F2431 and PIC18F4431 each have
16 Kbytes of Flash memory and can store up to 8,192
single-word instructions.
The Reset vector address is at 000000h and the
interrupt vector addresses are at 000008h and
000018h.
The Program Memory Maps for PIC18F2X31 and
PIC18F4X31 devices are shown in Figure 5-1 and
Figure 5-2, respectively.

5.2.2
Return Address Stack
The return address stack allows any combination of up
to 31 program calls and interrupts to occur. The PC
(Program Counter) is pushed onto the stack when a
CALL or RCALL instruction is executed, or an interrupt
is acknowledged. The PC value is pulled off the stack
on a RETURN, RETLW or a RETFIE instruction.
PCLATU and PCLATH are not affected by any of the
RETURN or CALL instructions.
The STKPTR register (Register 5-1) contains the stack
pointer value, the STKFUL (stack full) status bit, and
the STKUNF (stack underflow) status bits. The value of
the stack pointer can be 0 through 31. The stack pointer
increments before values are pushed onto the stack
and decrements after values are popped off the stack.
At Reset, the stack pointer value will be zero. The user
may read and write the stack pointer value. This feature
can be used by a Real-Time Operating System for
return stack maintenance.
The stack operates as a 31-word by 21-bit RAM and a
5-bit stack pointer, with the stack pointer initialized to
00000b after all Resets. There is no RAM associated
with stack pointer 00000b. This is only a Reset value.
During a CALL type instruction, causing a push onto the
stack, the stack pointer is first incremented and the
RAM location pointed to by the stack pointer is written
with the contents of the PC (already pointing to the
instruction following the call). During a RETURN type
instruction, causing a pop from the stack, the contents
of the RAM location pointed to by the STKPTR are
transferred to the PC and then the stack pointer is
decremented.
After the PC is pushed onto the stack 31 times (without
popping any values off the stack), the STKFUL bit is
set. The STKFUL bit is cleared by software or by a
POR.
The action that takes place when the stack becomes
full depends on the state of the STVREN (Stack Overflow Reset Enable) configuration bit. (Refer to
Section 22.1 “Configuration Bits” for a description of
the device configuration bits.) If STVREN is set
(default), the 31st push will push the (PC + 2) value
onto the stack, set the STKFUL bit, and reset the
device. The STKFUL bit will remain set and the stack
pointer will be set to zero.
The stack space is not part of either program or data
space. The stack pointer is readable and writable, and
the address on the top of the stack is readable and writable through the top-of-stack Special File registers.
Data can also be pushed to, or popped from, the stack
using the top-of-stack SFRs. Status bits indicate if the
stack is full, has overflowed or underflowed.
5.2.1
If STVREN is cleared, the STKFUL bit will be set on the
31st push and the stack pointer will increment to 31.
Any additional pushes will not overwrite the 31st push,
and STKPTR will remain at 31.
When the stack has been popped enough times to
unload the stack, the next pop will return a value of zero
to the PC and set the STKUNF bit, while the stack
pointer remains at zero. The STKUNF bit will remain
set until cleared by software or a POR occurs.
TOP-OF-STACK ACCESS
The top of the stack is readable and writable. Three
register locations, TOSU, TOSH and TOSL hold the
contents of the stack location pointed to by the
STKPTR register (Figure 5-3). This allows users to
implement a software stack if necessary. After a CALL,
RCALL or interrupt, the software can read the pushed
value by reading the TOSU, TOSH and TOSL registers.
These values can be placed on a user-defined software
stack. At return time, the software can replace the
TOSU, TOSH and TOSL and do a return.
Note:
The user must disable the global interrupt enable bits
while accessing the stack to prevent inadvertent stack
corruption.
FIGURE 5-3:
RETURN STACK POINTER
(STKPTR)
Returning a value of zero to the PC on an
underflow has the effect of vectoring the
program to the Reset vector, where the
stack conditions can be verified and
appropriate actions can be taken. This is
not the same as a Reset, as the contents
of the SFRs are not affected.

PUSH AND POP INSTRUCTIONS
5.2.4
Since the Top-of-Stack (TOS) is readable and writable,
the ability to push values onto the stack and pull values
off the stack without disturbing normal program execution is a desirable option. To push the current PC value
onto the stack, a PUSH instruction can be executed.
This will increment the stack pointer and load the current PC value onto the stack. TOSU, TOSH and TOSL
can then be modified to place data or a return address
on the stack.
STACK FULL/UNDERFLOW RESETS
These Resets are enabled by programming the
STVREN bit in Configuration Register 4L. When the
STVREN bit is cleared, a full or underflow condition will
set the appropriate STKFUL or STKUNF bit, but not
cause a device Reset. When the STVREN bit is set, a
full or underflow will set the appropriate STKFUL or
STKUNF bit and then cause a device Reset. The
STKFUL or STKUNF bits are cleared by the user
software or a POR Reset.
The ability to pull the TOS value off of the stack and
replace it with the value that was previously pushed
onto the stack, without disturbing normal execution, is
achieved by using the POP instruction. The POP instruction discards the current TOS by decrementing the
stack pointer. The previous value pushed onto the
stack then becomes the TOS value.

5.3
Fast Register Stack
5.4
A “fast return” option is available for interrupts. A fast
register stack is provided for the Status, WREG and
BSR registers and are only one in depth. The stack is
not readable or writable and is loaded with the current
value of the corresponding register when the processor
vectors for an interrupt. The values in the registers are
then loaded back into the working registers, if the
RETFIE, FAST instruction is used to return from the
interrupt.
All interrupt sources will push values into the stack registers. If both low and high priority interrupts are
enabled, the stack registers cannot be used reliably to
return from low priority interrupts. If a high priority interrupt occurs while servicing a low priority interrupt, the
stack register values stored by the low priority interrupt
will be overwritten. Users must save the key registers
in software during a low priority interrupt.
If interrupt priority is not used, all interrupts may use the
fast register stack for returns from interrupt.
If no interrupts are used, the fast register stack can be
used to restore the Status, WREG and BSR registers at
the end of a subroutine call. To use the fast register
stack for a subroutine call, a CALL label, FAST
instruction must be executed to save the Status,
WREG and BSR registers to the fast register stack. A
RETURN, FAST instruction is then executed to restore
these registers from the fast register stack.
PCL, PCLATH and PCLATU
The program counter (PC) specifies the address of the
instruction to fetch for execution. The PC is 21-bits
wide. The low byte, known as the PCL register, is both
readable and writable. The high byte, or PCH register,
contains the PC<15:8> bits and is not directly readable
or writable. Updates to the PCH register may be performed through the PCLATH register. The upper byte is
called PCU. This register contains the PC<20:16> bits
and is not directly readable or writable. Updates to the
PCU register may be performed through the PCLATU
register.
The contents of PCLATH and PCLATU will be transferred to the program counter by any operation that
writes PCL. Similarly, the upper two bytes of the program counter will be transferred to PCLATH and
PCLATU by an operation that reads PCL. This is useful
for computed offsets to the PC (see Section 5.8.1
“Computed GOTO”).
The PC addresses bytes in the program memory. To
prevent the PC from becoming misaligned with word
instructions, the LSB of PCL is fixed to a value of ‘0’.
The PC increments by 2 to address sequential
instructions in the program memory.
The CALL, RCALL, GOTO and program branch
instructions write to the program counter directly. For
these instructions, the contents of PCLATH and
PCLATU are not transferred to the program counter.
Example 5-1 shows a source code example that uses
the fast register stack during a subroutine call and
return.

Clocking Scheme/Instruction
Cycle
5.6
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 5-2).
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, 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 5-4.
A fetch cycle begins with the program counter (PC)
incrementing in Q1.
In the execution cycle, the fetched instruction is latched
into the “Instruction register” (IR) in cycle Q1. This
instruction is then decoded and executed during the
Q2, Q3, and Q4 cycles. Data memory is read during Q2
(operand read) and written during Q4 (destination
write).

Instructions in Program Memory
The program memory is addressed in bytes. Instructions are stored as two bytes or four bytes in program
memory. The Least Significant Byte of an instruction
word is always stored in a program memory location
with an even address (LSB = 0). Figure 5-5 shows an
example of how instruction words are stored in the program memory. To maintain alignment with instruction
boundaries, the PC increments in steps of 2 and the
LSB will always read ‘0’ (see Section 5.4 “PCL,
PCLATH and PCLATU”).
FIGURE 5-5:
The CALL and GOTO instructions have the absolute program memory address embedded into the instruction.
Since instructions are always stored on word boundaries, the data contained in the instruction is a word
address. The word address is written to PC<20:1>,
which accesses the desired byte address in program
memory. Instruction #2 in Figure 5-5 shows how the
instruction ‘GOTO 000006h’ is encoded in the program
memory. Program branch instructions, which encode a
relative address offset, operate in the same manner.
The offset value stored in a branch instruction represents the number of single-word instructions that the
PC will be offset by. Section 23.0 “Instruction Set
Summary” provides further details of the instruction
set.

12 bits of the second word contain data to be used by

Look-up Tables
5.9
Look-up tables are implemented two ways:
The data memory is implemented as static RAM. Each
register in the data memory has a 12-bit address,
allowing up to 4096 bytes of data memory. Figure 5-6
shows the data memory organization for the
PIC18F2331/2431/4331/4431 devices.
• Computed GOTO
• Table Reads
5.8.1
COMPUTED GOTO
A computed GOTO is accomplished by adding an offset
to the program counter. An example is shown in
Example 5-4.
A look-up table can be formed with an ADDWF PCL
instruction and a group of RETLW 0xnn instructions.
WREG is loaded with an offset into the table before
executing a call to that table. The first instruction of the
called routine is the ADDWF PCL instruction. The next
instruction executed will be one of the RETLW 0xnn
instructions, which returns the value 0xnn to the calling
function.
The offset value (in WREG) specifies the number of
bytes that the program counter should advance, and
should be multiples of 2 (LSB = 0).
In this method, only one data byte may be stored in
each instruction location and room on the return
address stack is required.

5.8.2
The data memory map is divided into as many as 16
banks that contain 256 bytes each. The lower 4 bits of
the Bank Select Register (BSR<3:0>) select which
bank will be accessed. The upper 4 bits for the BSR are
not implemented.
The data memory contains Special Function Registers
(SFR) and General Purpose Registers (GPR). The
SFRs are used for control and status of the controller
and peripheral functions, while GPRs are used for data
storage and scratch pad operations in the user’s
application. The SFRs start at the last location of Bank
15 (FFFh) and extend to F60h. Any remaining space
beyond the SFRs in the bank may be implemented as
GPRs. GPRs start at the first location of Bank 0 and
grow upwards. Any read of an unimplemented location
will read as ‘0’s.
The entire data memory may be accessed directly or
indirectly. Direct addressing may require the use of the
BSR register. Indirect addressing requires the use of a
File Select Register (FSRn) and a corresponding
Indirect File Operand (INDFn). Each FSR holds a 12bit address value that can be used to access any
location in the Data Memory map without banking. See
Section 5.12 “Indirect Addressing, INDF and FSR
Registers” for indirect addressing details.
The instruction set and architecture allow operations
across all banks. This may be accomplished by indirect
addressing or by the use of the MOVFF instruction. The
MOVFF instruction is a two-word/two-cycle instruction
that moves a value from one register to another.
TABLE READS/TABLE WRITES
A better method of storing data in program memory
allows two bytes of data to be stored in each instruction
location.
Look-up table data may be stored two bytes per program word by using table reads and writes. The table
pointer (TBLPTR) specifies the byte address and the
table latch (TABLAT) contains the data that is read
from, or written to program memory. Data is transferred
to/from program memory, one byte at a time.
The Table Read/Table Write operation is discussed
further in Section 6.1 “Table Reads and Table
Writes”.

Data Memory Organization
To ensure that commonly used registers (SFRs and
select GPRs) can be accessed in a single cycle,
regardless of the current BSR values, an Access Bank
is implemented. A segment of Bank 0 and a segment of
Bank 15 comprise the Access RAM. Section 5.10
“Access Bank” provides a detailed description of the
Access RAM.
5.9.1
GENERAL PURPOSE REGISTER
FILE
Enhanced MCU devices may have banked memory in
the GPR area. GPRs are not initialized by a Power-on
Reset and are unchanged on all other Resets.
Data RAM is available for use as GPR registers by all
instructions. The second half of Bank 15 (F60h to
FFFh) contains SFRs. All other banks of data memory
contain GPRs, starting with Bank 0.

SPECIAL FUNCTION REGISTERS
The Special Function Registers (SFRs) are registers
used by the CPU and Peripheral Modules for controlling the desired operation of the device. These registers are implemented as static RAM. A list of these
registers is given in Table 5-1 and Table 5-2.
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
TABLE 5-1:
Address
“core” are described in this section, while those related
to the operation of the peripheral features are
described in the section of that peripheral feature.
The SFRs are typically distributed among the
peripherals whose functions they control.
The unused SFR locations will be unimplemented and
read as ‘0’s.

Access Bank
5.11
The Access Bank is an architectural enhancement
which is very useful for C compiler code optimization.
The techniques used by the C compiler may also be
useful for programs written in assembly.
The need for a large general purpose memory space
dictates a RAM banking scheme. The data memory is
partitioned into as many as sixteen banks. When using
direct addressing, the BSR should be configured for the
desired bank.
This data memory region can be used for:
•
•
•
•
•
BSR<3:0> holds the upper 4 bits of the 12-bit RAM
address. The BSR<7:4> bits will always read ‘0’s, and
writes will have no effect (see Figure 5-7).
Intermediate computational values
Local variables of subroutines
Faster context saving/switching of variables
Common variables
Faster evaluation/control of SFRs (no banking)
A MOVLB instruction has been provided in the
instruction set to assist in selecting banks.
If the currently selected bank is not implemented, any
read will return all ‘0’s and all writes are ignored. The
Status register bits will be set/cleared as appropriate for
the instruction performed.
The Access Bank is comprised of the last 128 bytes in
Bank 15 (SFRs) and the first 128 bytes in Bank 0.
These two sections will be referred to as Access RAM
High and Access RAM Low, respectively. Figure 5-6
indicates the Access RAM areas.
Each Bank extends up to FFh (256 bytes). All data
memory is implemented as static RAM.
A bit in the instruction word specifies if the operation is
to occur in the bank specified by the BSR register or in
the Access Bank. This bit is denoted as the ‘a’ bit (for
access bit).
A MOVFF instruction ignores the BSR, since the 12-bit
addresses are embedded into the instruction word.
Section 5.12 “Indirect Addressing, INDF and FSR
Registers” provides a description of indirect addressing, which allows linear addressing of the entire RAM
space.
When forced in the Access Bank (a = 0), the last
address in Access RAM Low is followed by the first
address in Access RAM High. Access RAM High maps
the Special Function Registers, so these registers can
be accessed without any software overhead. This is
useful for testing status flags and modifying control bits.

Indirect Addressing, INDF and
FSR Registers
Indirect addressing is a mode of addressing data memory, where the data memory address in the instruction
is not fixed. An FSR register is used as a pointer to the
data memory location that is to be read or written. Since
this pointer is in RAM, the contents can be modified by
the program. This can be useful for data tables in the
data memory and for software stacks. Figure 5-8
shows how the fetched instruction is modified prior to
being executed.
Indirect addressing is possible by using one of the
INDF registers. Any instruction using the INDF register
actually accesses the register pointed to by the File
Select Register, FSR. Reading the INDF register itself,
indirectly (FSR = 0), will read 00h. Writing to the INDF
register indirectly, results in a no operation. The FSR
register contains a 12-bit address, which is shown in
Figure 5-9.
The INDFn register is not a physical register. Addressing INDFn actually addresses the register whose
address is contained in the FSRn register (FSRn is a
pointer). This is indirect addressing.
Example 5-5 shows a simple use of indirect addressing
to clear the RAM in Bank 1 (locations 100h-1FFh) in a
minimum number of instructions.

There are three indirect addressing registers. To
address the entire data memory space (4096 bytes),
these registers are 12-bits wide. To store the 12 bits of
addressing information, two 8-bit registers are
required:
1.
2.
3.
FSR0: composed of FSR0H:FSR0L
FSR1: composed of FSR1H:FSR1L
FSR2: composed of FSR2H:FSR2L
In addition, there are registers INDF0, INDF1 and
INDF2, which are not physically implemented. Reading
or writing to these registers activates indirect addressing, with the value in the corresponding FSR register
being the address of the data. If an instruction writes a
value to INDF0, the value will be written to the address
pointed to by FSR0H:FSR0L. A read from INDF1 reads
the data from the address pointed to by
FSR1H:FSR1L. INDFn can be used in code anywhere
an operand can be used.
 2003 Microchip Technology Inc.
If INDF0, INDF1 or INDF2 are read indirectly via a FSR,
all ‘0’s are read (zero bit is set). Similarly, if INDF0,
INDF1 or INDF2 are written to indirectly, the operation
will be equivalent to a NOP instruction and the Status
bits are not affected.
5.12.1
INDIRECT ADDRESSING
OPERATION
Each FSR register has an INDF register associated
with it, plus four additional register addresses. Performing an operation using one of these five registers determines how the FSR will be modified during indirect
addressing.
When data access is performed using one of the five
INDFn locations, the address selected will configure
the FSRn register to:
• Do nothing to FSRn after an indirect access (no
change) – INDFn
• Auto-decrement FSRn after an indirect access
(post-decrement) – POSTDECn
• Auto-increment FSRn after an indirect access
(post-increment) – POSTINCn
• Auto-increment FSRn before an indirect access
(pre-increment) – PREINCn
• Use the value in the WREG register as an offset
to FSRn. Do not modify the value of the WREG or
the FSRn register after an indirect access (no
change) – PLUSWn
When using the auto-increment or auto-decrement features, the effect on the FSR is not reflected in the Status
register. For example, if the indirect address causes the
FSR to equal ‘0’, the Z bit will not be set.
Auto-incrementing or auto-decrementing a FSR affects
all 12 bits. That is, when FSRnL overflows from an
increment, FSRnH will be incremented automatically.
Adding these features allows the FSRn to be used as a
stack pointer, in addition to its uses for table operations
in data memory.
Each FSR has an address associated with it that performs an indexed indirect access. When a data access
to this INDFn location (PLUSWn) occurs, the FSRn is
configured to add the signed value in the WREG register and the value in FSR to form the address before an
indirect access. The FSR value is not changed. The
WREG offset range is -128 to +127.
If an FSR register contains a value that points to one of
the INDFn, an indirect read will read 00h (zero bit is
set), while an indirect write will be equivalent to a NOP
(Status bits are not affected).
If an indirect addressing write is performed when the
target address is an FSRnH or FSRnL register, the data
is written to the FSR register, but no pre- or postincrement/decrement is performed.

Status Register
The Status register, shown in Register 5-2, contains the
arithmetic status of the ALU. The Status register can be
the operand for any instruction, as with any other register. If the Status register is the destination for an
instruction that affects the Z, DC, C, OV or N bits, then
the write to these five bits is disabled. These bits are set
or cleared according to the device logic. Therefore, the
result of an instruction with the Status register as destination may be different than intended.
REGISTER 5-2:
For example, CLRF STATUS will clear the upper three
bits and set the Z bit. This leaves the Status register as
000u u1uu (where u = unchanged).
It is recommended, therefore, that only BCF, BSF,
SWAPF, MOVFF and MOVWF instructions are used to
alter the Status register, because these instructions do
not affect the Z, C, DC, OV or N bits in the Status register. For other instructions not affecting any status bits,
see Table 23-2.
Note:
The C and DC bits operate as a borrow
and digit borrow bit respectively, in subtraction.

FLASH PROGRAM MEMORY
The program memory space is 16-bits wide, while the
data RAM space is 8-bits wide. Table reads and table
writes move data between these two memory spaces
through an 8-bit register (TABLAT).
The Flash program memory is readable, writable and
erasable during normal operation over the entire VDD
range.
Table read operations retrieve data from program
memory and place it into TABLAT in the data RAM
space. Figure 6-1 shows the operation of a table read
with program memory and data RAM.
A read from program memory is executed on one byte
at a time. A write to program memory is executed on
blocks of 8 bytes at a time. Program memory is erased
in blocks of 64 bytes at a time. A bulk erase operation
may not be issued from user code.
Table write operations store data from TABLAT in the
data memory space into holding registers in program
memory. The procedure to write the contents of the
holding registers into program memory is detailed in
Section 6.5 “Writing to Flash Program Memory”.
Figure 6-2 shows the operation of a table write with
program memory and data RAM.
While writing or erasing program memory, instruction
fetches cease until the operation is complete. The
program memory cannot be accessed during the write
or erase, therefore, code cannot execute. An internal
programming timer terminates program memory writes
and erases.
Table operations work with byte entities. A table block
containing data, rather than program instructions, is not
required to be word aligned. Therefore, a table block
can start and end at any byte address. If a table write is
being used to write executable code into program
memory, program instructions will need to be word
aligned, (TBLPTRL<0> = 0).
A value written to program memory does not need to be
a valid instruction. Executing a program memory
location that forms an invalid instruction results in a
NOP.
6.1
Table Reads and Table Writes
The EEPROM on-chip timer controls the write and
erase times. The write and erase voltages are generated by an on-chip charge pump rated to operate over
the voltage range of the device for byte or word
operations.
In order to read and write program memory, there are
two operations that allow the processor to move bytes
between the program memory space and the data
RAM:
• Table Read (TBLRD)
• Table Write (TBLWT)

Table Pointer actually points to one of eight holding registers, the address of which is determined by
TBLPTRL<2:0>. The process for physically writing data to the Program Memory Array is discussed in
Section 6.5 “Writing to Flash Program Memory”.
Control Registers
Several control registers are used in conjunction with
the TBLRD and TBLWT instructions. These include the:
•
•
•
•
EECON1 register
EECON2 register
TABLAT register
TBLPTR registers
6.2.1
EECON1 AND EECON2 REGISTERS
EECON1 is the control register for memory accesses.
EECON2 is not a physical register. Reading EECON2
will read all ‘0’s. The EECON2 register is used
exclusively in the memory write and erase sequences.
Control bit EEPGD determines if the access will be to
program or data EEPROM memory. When clear, operations will access the data EEPROM memory. When
set, program memory is accessed.
Control bit CFGS determines if the access will be to the
configuration registers or to program memory/data
EEPROM memory. When set, subsequent operations
access configuration registers. When CFGS is clear,
the EEPGD bit selects either program Flash or data
EEPROM memory.
The FREE bit controls program memory erase operations. When the FREE bit is set, the erase operation is
initiated on the next WR command. When FREE is
clear, only writes are enabled.
DS39616B-page 76
The WREN bit enables and disables erase and write
operations. When set, erase and write operations are
allowed. When clear, erase and write operations are
disabled – the WR bit cannot be set while the WREN bit
is clear. This process helps to prevent accidental writes
to memory due to errant (unexpected) code execution.
Firmware should keep the WREN bit clear at all times,
except when starting erase or write operations. Once
firmware has set the WR bit, the WREN bit may be
cleared. Clearing the WREN bit will not affect the
operation in progress.
The WRERR bit is set when a write operation is interrupted by a Reset. In these situations, the user can
check the WRERR bit and rewrite the location. It will be
necessary to reload the data and address registers
(EEDATA and EEADR) as these registers have cleared
as a result of the Reset.
Control bits RD and WR start read and erase/write
operations, respectively. These bits are set by firmware, and cleared by hardware at the completion of the
operation.
The RD bit cannot be set when accessing program
memory (EEPGD = 1). Program memory is read using
table read instructions. See Section 6.3 “Reading the
Flash Program Memory” regarding table reads.
Note:
Preliminary
Interrupt flag bit EEIF, in the PIR2 register,
is set when the write is complete. It must
be cleared in software.

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

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

Erasing Flash Program Memory
The minimum erase block size is 32 words or 64 bytes
under firmware control. Only through the use of an
external programmer, or through ICSP control can
larger blocks of program memory be bulk erased. Word
erase in Flash memory is not supported.
The sequence of events for erasing a block of internal
program memory location is:
1.
When initiating an erase sequence from the microcontroller itself, a block of 64 bytes of program memory
is erased. The Most Significant 16 bits of the
TBLPTR<21:6> point to the block being erased.
TBLPTR<5:0> are ignored.
2.
The EECON1 register commands the erase operation.
The EEPGD bit must be set to point to the Flash program memory. The CFGS bit must be clear to access
program Flash and data EEPROM memory. The
WREN bit must be set to enable write operations. The
FREE bit is set to select an erase operation. The WR
bit is set as part of the required instruction sequence
(as shown in Example 6-2), and starts the actual erase
operation. It is not necessary to load the TABLAT
register with any data, as it is ignored.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
For protection, the write initiate sequence using
EECON2 must be used.
8.
9.
A long write is necessary for erasing the internal Flash.
Instruction execution is halted while in a long write
cycle. The long write will be terminated by the internal
programming timer.

Writing to Flash Program Memory
The programming block size is 4 words or 8 bytes.
Word or byte programming is not supported.
Table writes are used internally to load the holding
registers needed to program the Flash memory. There
are 8 holding registers used by the table writes for
programming.
FIGURE 6-5:
Since the Table Latch (TABLAT) is only a single byte,
the TBLWT instruction has to be executed 8 times for
each programming operation. All of the table write
operations will essentially be short writes, because only
the holding registers are written. At the end of updating
8 registers, the EECON1 register must be written to, to
start the programming operation with a long write.
The long write is necessary for programming the
internal Flash. Instruction execution is halted while in a
long write cycle. The long write will be terminated by
the internal programming timer.

Depending on the application, good programming
practice may dictate that the value written to the

This should be used in applications where excessive
writes can stress bits near the specification limit.

UNEXPECTED TERMINATION OF
WRITE OPERATION
If a write is terminated by an unplanned event, such as
loss of power or an unexpected Reset, the memory
location just programmed should be verified and reprogrammed if needed. The WRERR bit is set when a
write operation is interrupted by a MCLR Reset, or a
WDT Time-out Reset during normal operation. In these
situations, users can check the WRERR bit and rewrite
the location.

DATA EEPROM MEMORY
The Data EEPROM is readable and writable during
normal operation over the entire VDD range. The data
memory is not directly mapped in the register file
space. Instead, it is indirectly addressed through the
Special Function Registers (SFR).
There are four SFRs used to read and write the
program and data EEPROM memory. These registers
are:
•
•
•
•
EECON1
EECON2
EEDATA
EEADR
The EEPROM data memory allows byte read and write.
When interfacing to the data memory block, EEDATA
holds the 8-bit data for read/write and EEADR holds the
address of the EEPROM location being accessed.
These devices have 256 bytes of data EEPROM with
an address range from 00h to FFh.
The EEPROM data memory is rated for high erase/
write cycle endurance. A byte write automatically
erases the location and writes the new data (erasebefore-write). The write time is controlled by an on-chip
timer. The write time will vary with voltage and temperature, as well as from chip-to-chip. Please refer to
parameter D122 (Table 25-1 in Section 25.0 “Electrical Characteristics”) for exact limits.
7.1
EEADR
The address register can address 256 bytes of data
EEPROM.
7.2
EECON1 and EECON2 Registers
Control bit CFGS determines if the access will be to the
configuration registers or to program memory/data
EEPROM memory. When set, subsequent operations
access configuration registers. When CFGS is clear,
the EEPGD bit selects either program Flash or data
EEPROM memory.
The WREN bit enables and disables erase and write
operations. When set, erase and write operations are
allowed. When clear, erase and write operations are
disabled; the WR bit cannot be set while the WREN bit
is clear. This mechanism helps to prevent accidental
writes to memory due to errant (unexpected) code
execution.
Firmware should keep the WREN bit clear at all times,
except when starting erase or write operations. Once
firmware has set the WR bit, the WREN bit may be
cleared. Clearing the WREN bit will not affect the
operation in progress.
The WRERR bit is set when a write operation is
interrupted by a Reset. In these situations, the user can
check the WRERR bit and rewrite the location. It is
necessary to reload the data and address registers
(EEDATA and EEADR), as these registers have
cleared as a result of the Reset.
Control bits RD and WR start read and erase/write
operations, respectively. These bits are set by firmware, and cleared by hardware at the completion of the
operation.
The RD bit cannot be set when accessing program
memory (EEPGD = 1). Program memory is read using
table read instructions. See Section 6.1 “Table Reads
and Table Writes” regarding table reads.
Note:
EECON1 is the control register for memory accesses.
Interrupt flag bit, EEIF in the PIR2 register,
is set when write is complete. It must be
cleared in software.
EECON2 is not a physical register. Reading EECON2
will read all ‘0’s. The EECON2 register is used
exclusively in the memory write and erase sequences.
Control bit EEPGD determines if the access will be to
program or data EEPROM memory. When clear, operations will access the data EEPROM memory. When
set, program memory is accessed.

7.3
Reading the Data EEPROM
Memory
To read a data memory location, the user must write the
address to the EEADR register, clear the EEPGD control bit (EECON1<7>) and then set control bit RD
(EECON1<0>). The data is available for the very next
instruction cycle; therefore, the EEDATA register can
be read by the next instruction. EEDATA will hold this
value until another read operation, or until it is written to
by the user (during a write operation).
7.4
To write an EEPROM data location, the address must
first be written to the EEADR register and the data written to the EEDATA register. The sequence in
Example 7-2 must be followed to initiate the write cycle.
The write will not begin if this sequence is not exactly
followed (write 55h to EECON2, write AAh to EECON2,
then set WR bit) for each byte. It is strongly recommended that interrupts be disabled during this
code segment.
Additionally, the WREN bit in EECON1 must be set to
enable writes. This mechanism prevents accidental
writes to data EEPROM due to unexpected code execution (i.e., runaway programs). The WREN bit should
be kept clear at all times, except when updating the
EEPROM. The WREN bit is not cleared by hardware.

Write Verify
Depending on the application, good programming
practice may dictate that the value written to the memory should be verified against the original value. This
should be used in applications where excessive writes
can stress bits near the specification limit.
7.6
Protection Against Spurious Write
There are conditions when the device may not want to
write to the data EEPROM memory. To protect against
spurious EEPROM writes, various mechanisms have
been built-in. On power-up, the WREN bit is cleared.
Also, the Power-up Timer (72 ms duration) prevents
EEPROM write.
The write initiate sequence and the WREN bit together
help prevent an accidental write during brown-out,
power glitch, or software malfunction.

Sequence
At the completion of the write cycle, the WR bit is

or poll this bit. EEIF must be cleared by software.

Writing to the Data EEPROM
Memory
EXAMPLE 7-1:
After a write sequence has been initiated, EECON1,
EEADR and EEDATA cannot be modified. The WR bit
will be inhibited from being set unless the WREN bit is
set. The WREN bit must be set on a previous instruction. Both WR and WREN cannot be set with the same
instruction.

7.7
Operation During Code-Protect
7.8
Data EEPROM memory has its own code-protect bits in
configuration words. External Read and Write operations are disabled if either of these mechanisms are
enabled.
Using the Data EEPROM
The Data EEPROM is a high-endurance, byte
addressable array that has been optimized for the
storage of frequently changing information (e.g.,
program variables or other data that are updated
often). Frequently changing values will typically be
updated more often than specification D124 or D124A.
If this is not the case, an array refresh must be
performed. For this reason, variables that change
infrequently (such as constants, IDs, calibration, etc.)
should be stored in Flash program memory.
The microcontroller itself can both read and write to the
internal data EEPROM, regardless of the state of the
code-protect configuration bit. Refer to Section 22.0
“Special Features of the CPU” for additional
information.
A simple data EEPROM refresh routine is shown in
Example 7-3.

8 X 8 HARDWARE MULTIPLIER
Making the 8 x 8 multiplier execute in a single cycle
gives the following advantages:
8.1
Introduction
• Higher computational throughput
• Reduces code size requirements for multiply
algorithms
An 8 x 8 hardware multiplier is included in the ALU of
the PIC18F2331/2431/4331/4431 devices. By making
the multiply a hardware operation, it completes in a
single instruction cycle. This is an unsigned multiply
that gives a 16-bit result. The result is stored into the
16-bit product register pair (PRODH:PRODL). The
multiplier does not affect any flags in the Status
register.
TABLE 8-1:
Table 8-1 shows a performance comparison between
enhanced devices using the single cycle hardware multiply, and performing the same function without the

9.0
INTERRUPTS
The PIC18F2331/2431/4331/4431 devices have
multiple interrupt sources and an interrupt priority
feature that allows each interrupt source to be assigned
a high priority level or a low priority level. The high
priority interrupt vector is at 000008h and the low
priority interrupt vector is at 000018h. High priority
interrupt events will interrupt any low priority interrupts
that may be in progress.
There are ten registers which are used to control
interrupt operation. These registers are:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
RCON
INTCON
INTCON2
INTCON3
PIR1, PIR2, PIR3
PIE1, PIE2, PIE3
IPR1, IPR2, IPR3
It is recommended that the Microchip header files supplied with MPLAB® IDE be used for the symbolic bit
names in these registers. This allows the assembler/
compiler to automatically take care of the placement of
these bits within the specified register.
In general, each interrupt source has three bits to control its operation. The functions of these bits are:
• Flag bit to indicate that an interrupt event
occurred
• Enable bit that allows program execution to
branch to the interrupt vector address when the
flag bit is set
• Priority bit to select high priority or low priority
(most interrupt sources have priority bits)
When the IPEN bit is cleared (default state), the interrupt priority feature is disabled and interrupts are compatible with PICmicro® mid-range devices. In
Compatibility mode, the interrupt priority bits for each
source have no effect. INTCON<6> is the PEIE bit,
which enables/disables all peripheral interrupt sources.
INTCON<7> is the GIE bit, which enables/disables all
interrupt sources. All interrupts branch to address
000008h in Compatibility mode.
When an interrupt is responded to, the Global Interrupt
Enable bit is cleared to disable further interrupts. If the
IPEN bit is cleared, this is the GIE bit. If interrupt priority
levels are used, this will be either the GIEH or GIEL bit.
High priority interrupt sources can interrupt a low
priority interrupt. Low priority interrupts are not
processed while high priority interrupts are in progress.
The return address is pushed onto the stack and the
PC is loaded with the interrupt vector address
(000008h or 000018h). Once in the interrupt service
routine, the source(s) of the interrupt can be
determined by polling the interrupt flag bits. The
interrupt flag bits must be cleared in software before reenabling interrupts to avoid recursive interrupts.
The “return from interrupt” instruction, RETFIE, exits
the interrupt routine and sets the GIE bit (GIEH or GIEL
if priority levels are used), which re-enables interrupts.
For external interrupt events, such as the INT pins or
the PORTB input change interrupt, the interrupt latency
will be three to four instruction cycles. The exact
latency is the same for one or two-cycle instructions.
Individual interrupt flag bits are set, regardless of the
status of their corresponding enable bit or the GIE bit.
Note:
The interrupt priority feature is enabled by setting the
IPEN bit (RCON<7>). When interrupt priority is
enabled, there are two bits which enable interrupts
globally. Setting the GIEH bit (INTCON<7>) enables all
interrupts that have the priority bit set (high priority).
Setting the GIEL bit (INTCON<6>) enables all
interrupts that have the priority bit cleared (low priority).
When the interrupt flag, enable bit and appropriate
global interrupt enable bit are set, the interrupt will
vector immediately to address 000008h or 000018h,
depending on the priority bit setting. Individual
interrupts can be disabled through their corresponding
enable bits.

Preliminary
Do not use the MOVFF instruction to modify
any of the interrupt control registers while
any interrupt is enabled. Doing so may
cause erratic microcontroller behavior.

Interrupt flag bits are set when an interrupt condition occurs, regardless of the state
of its corresponding enable bit or the global enable bit. User software should ensure
the appropriate interrupt flag bits are clear prior to enabling an interrupt. This feature
allows for software polling.

PIR Registers
Note 1: Interrupt flag bits are set when an interrupt
condition occurs, regardless of the state of
its corresponding enable bit or the global
enable bit, GIE (INTCON<7>).
The PIR registers contain the individual flag bits for the
peripheral interrupts. Due to the number of peripheral
interrupt sources, there are two Peripheral Interrupt
Flag Registers (PIR1, PIR2).
REGISTER 9-4:
2: User software should ensure the appropriate interrupt flag bits are cleared prior to
enabling an interrupt, and after servicing
that interrupt.

INTn Pin Interrupts
9.7
External interrupts on the RC3/INT0, RC4/INT1 and
RC5/INT2 pins are edge triggered: either rising, if the
corresponding INTEDGx bit is set in the INTCON2
register, or falling, if the INTEDGx bit is clear. When a
valid edge appears on the RC3/INT0 pin, the
corresponding flag bit INTxF is set. This interrupt can
be disabled by clearing the corresponding enable bit
INTxE. Flag bit INTxF must be cleared in software in
the interrupt service routine before re-enabling the
interrupt. All external interrupts (INT0, INT1 and INT2)
can wake-up the processor from the power-managed
modes, if bit INTxE was set prior to going into powermanaged modes. If the global interrupt enable bit GIE
is set, the processor will branch to the interrupt vector
following wake-up.
Interrupt priority for INT1 and INT2 is determined by the
value contained in the interrupt priority bits, INT1IP
(INTCON3<6>) and INT2IP (INTCON3<7>). There is
no priority bit associated with INT0. It is always a high
priority interrupt source.
TMR0 Interrupt
In 8-bit mode (which is the default), an overflow
(FFh → 00h) in the TMR0 register will set flag bit
TMR0IF. In 16-bit mode, an overflow (FFFFh → 0000h)
in the TMR0H:TMR0L registers will set flag bit TMR0IF.
The interrupt can be enabled/disabled by setting/clearing enable bit TMR0IE (INTCON<5>). Interrupt priority
for Timer0 is determined by the value contained in the
interrupt priority bit TMR0IP (INTCON2<2>). See
Section 11.0 “Timer0 Module” for further details.
9.8
PORTB Interrupt-on-Change
An input change on PORTB<7:4> sets flag bit RBIF
(INTCON<0>). The interrupt can be enabled/disabled
by setting/clearing enable bit, RBIE (INTCON<3>).
Interrupt priority for PORTB interrupt-on-change is
determined by the value contained in the interrupt
priority bit, RBIP (INTCON2<0>).
9.9
Context Saving During Interrupts
During interrupts, the return PC address is saved on
the stack. Additionally, the WREG, Status and BSR
registers are saved on the fast return stack. If a fast
return from interrupt is not used (See Section 5.3
“Fast Register Stack”), the user may need to save the
WREG, Status and BSR registers on entry to the
interrupt service routine. Depending on the user’s
application, other registers may also need to be saved.
Example 9-1 saves and restores the WREG, Status
and BSR registers during an interrupt service routine.

I/O PORTS
10.1
Depending on the device selected and features
enabled, there are up to five ports available. Some pins
of the I/O ports are multiplexed with an alternate
function from the peripheral features on the device. In
general, when a peripheral is enabled, that pin may not
be used as a general purpose I/O pin.
Each port has three registers for its operation. These
registers are:
• TRIS register (data direction register)
• PORT register (reads the levels on the pins of the
device)
• LAT register (output latch)
The data latch (LAT register) is useful for read-modifywrite operations on the value that the I/O pins are
driving.
A simplified model of a generic I/O port without the
interfaces to other peripherals is shown in Figure 10-1.

PORTA, TRISA and LATA
Registers
PORTA is a 8-bit wide, bidirectional port. The corresponding data direction register is TRISA. Setting a
TRISA bit (= 1) will make the corresponding PORTA pin
an input (i.e., put the corresponding output driver in a
High-Impedance mode). Clearing a TRISA bit (= 0) will
make the corresponding PORTA pin an output (i.e., put
the contents of the output latch on the selected pin).
Reading the PORTA register reads the status of the
pins, whereas writing to it, will write to the port latch.
The Data Latch register (LATA) is also memory mapped.
Read-modify-write operations on the LATA register read
and write the latched output value for PORTA.
The RA<2:4> pins are multiplexed with three input
capture pins and Quadrature Encoder Interface pins.
Pins RA6 and RA7 are multiplexed with the main
oscillator pins; they are enabled as oscillator or I/O pins
by the selection of the main oscillator in Configuration
Register 1H (see Section 22.1 “Configuration Bits”
for details). When they are not used as port pins, RA6
and RA7 and their associated TRIS and LAT bits are
read as ‘0’.
The other PORTA pins are multiplexed with analog
inputs, the analog VREF+ and VREF- inputs and the comparator voltage reference output. The operation of pins
RA3:RA0 and RA5 as A/D converter inputs is selected
by clearing/setting the control bits in the ANSEL0 and
ANSEL1 registers.

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

This interrupt can wake the device from Sleep. The
user, in the interrupt service routine, can clear the
interrupt in the following manner:

b)
Initialize PORTB by

Set RB<3:0> as inputs
RB<5:4> as outputs
RB<7:6> as inputs
Any read or write of PORTB (except with the
MOVFF (ANY), PORTB instruction). This will
end the mismatch condition.
Clear flag bit RBIF.
A mismatch condition will continue to set flag bit RBIF.
Reading PORTB will end the mismatch condition and
allow flag bit RBIF to be cleared.
The interrupt-on-change feature is recommended for
wake-up on key depression operation and operations
where PORTB is only used for the interrupt-on-change
feature. Polling of PORTB is not recommended while
using the interrupt-on-change feature.
Each of the PORTB pins has a weak internal pull-up. A
single control bit can turn on all the pull-ups. This is
performed by clearing bit RBPU (INTCON2<7>). The
weak pull-up is automatically turned off when the port
pin is configured as an output. The pull-ups are
disabled on a Power-on Reset.
DS39616B-page 112
Four of the PORTB pins (RB7:RB4) have an interrupton-change feature. Only pins configured as inputs can
cause this interrupt to occur (i.e., any RB7:RB4 pin
configured as an output is excluded from the interrupton-change comparison). The input pins (of RB7:RB4)
are compared with the old value latched on the last
read of PORTB. The “mismatch” outputs of RB7:RB4
are ORed together to generate the RB port change
interrupt with flag bit, RBIF (INTCON<0>).
RB<0:3> and RB4 pins are multiplexed with the 14-bit
PWM module for PWM<0:3> and PWM5 output. The
RB5 pin can be configured by the configuration bit
PWM4MX as the alternate pin for PWM4 output.

PORTC, TRISC and LATC
Registers
External interrupts, IN0, INT1 and INT2, are placed on
RC3, RC4 and RC5 respectively.
SSP alternate interface pins, SDI/SDA, SCK/SCL and
SDO are placed on RC4, RC5, and RC7 pins respectively.
PORTC is an 8-bit wide, bidirectional port. The corresponding Data Direction register is TRISC. Setting a
TRISC bit (= 1) will make the corresponding PORTC
pin an input (i.e., put the corresponding output driver in
a High-Impedance mode). Clearing a TRISC bit (= 0)
will make the corresponding PORTC pin an output (i.e.,
put the contents of the output latch on the selected pin).
These pins are multiplexed on PORTC and PORTD by
using the SSPMX bit in the CONFIG3L register.
USART pins RX/DT and TX/CK are placed on RC7 and
RC6 respectively.
The Data Latch register (LATC) is also memory
mapped. Read-modify-write operations on the LATC
register read and write the latched output value for
PORTC.
The alternate Timer5 external clock input, T5CKI, and
the alternate TMR0 external clock input, T0CKI, are
placed on RC3 and are multiplexed with the PORTD
(RD0) pin using the EXCLKMX configuration bit in
CONFIG3L. Fault inputs to the 14-bit PWM module,
FLTA and FLTB, are located on RC1 and RC2. FLTA
input on RC1 is multiplexed with RD4 using the
FLTAMX bit.
PORTC is multiplexed with several peripheral functions
(Table 10-5). The pins have Schmitt Trigger input
buffers.
When enabling peripheral functions, care should be
taken in defining TRIS bits for each PORTC pin. Some
peripherals override the TRIS bit to make a pin an output,
while other peripherals override the TRIS bit to make a
pin an input. The user should refer to the corresponding
peripheral section for the correct TRIS bit settings.
Note:
EXAMPLE 10-3:
On a Power-on Reset, these pins are
configured as digital inputs.
The contents of the TRISC register are affected by
peripheral overrides. Reading TRISC always returns
the current contents, even though a peripheral device
may be overriding one or more of the pins.

PORTD, TRISD and LATD
Registers
Note:
PORTD includes PWM<7:6> complementary fourth
channel PWM outputs. PWM4 is the complementary
output of PWM5 (the third channel), which is multiplexed with the RB5 pin. This output can be used as the
alternate output using the PWM4MX configuration bit in
CONFIG3L when the low-voltage programming pin
(PGM) is used on RB5.
PORTD is only available on PIC18F4X31
devices.
PORTD is an 8-bit wide, bidirectional port. The
corresponding Data Direction register is TRISD.
Setting a TRISD bit (= 1) will make the corresponding
PORTD pin an input (i.e., put the corresponding output
driver in a High-Impedance mode). Clearing a TRISD
bit (= 0) will make the corresponding PORTD pin an
output (i.e., put the contents of the output latch on the
selected pin).
RD1, RD2 and RD3 can be used as the alternate output for SDO, SDI/SDA and SCK/SCL using the SSPMX
configuration bit in CONFIG3L.
RD4 an be used as the alternate output for FLTA using
the FLTAMX configuration bit in CONFIG3L.
EXAMPLE 10-4:
The Data Latch register (LATD) is also memory
mapped. Read-modify-write operations on the LATD
register read and write the latched output value for
PORTD.
All pins on PORTD are implemented with Schmitt
Trigger input buffers. Each pin is individually
configurable as an input or output.
Note:
On a Power-on Reset, these pins are
configured as digital inputs.

Note:
PORTE, TRISE and LATE
Registers
PORTE is only available on PIC18F4X31
devices.
PORTE is a 4-bit wide bidirectional port. Three pins
(RE0/AN6, RE1/AN67 and RE2/AN8) are individually
configurable as inputs or outputs. These pins have
Schmitt Trigger input buffers. When selected as an
analog input, these pins will read as ‘0’s.
The corresponding Data Direction register is TRISE.
Setting a TRISE bit (= 1) will make the corresponding
PORTE pin an input (i.e., put the corresponding output
driver in a High-Impedance mode). Clearing a TRISE
bit (= 0) will make the corresponding PORTE pin an
output (i.e., put the contents of the output latch on the
selected pin).
TRISE controls the direction of the RE pins, even when
they are being used as analog inputs. The user must
make sure to keep the pins configured as inputs when
using them as analog inputs.
Note:
On a Power-on Reset, RE2:RE0 are
configured as analog inputs.
The Data Latch register (LATE) is also memory
mapped. Read-modify-write operations on the LATE
register read and write the latched output value for
PORTE.
The fourth pin of PORTE (MCLR/VPP/RE3) is an input
only pin. Its operation is controlled by the MCLRE configuration bit in Configuration Register 3H
(CONFIG3H<7>). When selected as a port pin
(MCLRE = 0), it functions as a digital input only pin. As
such, it does not have TRIS or LAT bits associated with
its operation. Otherwise, it functions as the device’s
master clear input. In either configuration, RE3 also
functions as the programming voltage input during
programming.
Note:
On a Power-on Reset, RE3 is enabled as a
digital input only if Master Clear functionality
is disabled.

11.1
11.2.1
Timer0 Operation
Timer0 can operate as a timer or as a counter.
The prescaler assignment is fully under software control (i.e., it can be changed “on-the-fly” during program
execution).
Timer mode is selected by clearing the T0CS bit. In
Timer mode, the Timer0 module will increment every
instruction cycle (without prescaler). If the TMR0 register is written, the increment is inhibited for the following
two instruction cycles. The user can work around this
by writing an adjusted value to the TMR0 register.
11.3
When an external clock input is used for Timer0, it must
meet certain requirements. The requirements ensure
the external clock can be synchronized with the internal
phase clock (TOSC). Also, there is a delay in the actual
incrementing of Timer0 after synchronization.
11.4
The PSA and T0PS2:T0PS0 bits determine the
prescaler assignment and prescale ratio.
Clearing bit PSA will assign the prescaler to the Timer0
module. When the prescaler is assigned to the Timer0
module, prescale values of 1:2, 1:4, ..., 1:256 are
selectable.
A write to the high byte of Timer0 must also take place
through the TMR0H buffer register. Timer0 high byte is
updated with the contents of TMR0H when a write
occurs to TMR0L. This allows all 16 bits of Timer0 to be
updated at once.
When assigned to the Timer0 module, all instructions
writing to the TMR0 register (e.g., CLRF TMR0, MOVWF
TMR0, BSF TMR0, x....etc.) will clear the prescaler
count.
Writing to TMR0 when the prescaler is
assigned to Timer0 will clear the prescaler
count, but will not change the prescaler
assignment.
TABLE 11-1:
Name
16-Bit Mode Timer Reads and
Writes
TMR0H is not the high byte of the timer/counter in
16-bit mode, but is actually a buffered version of the
high byte of Timer0 (refer to Figure 11-2). The high byte
of the Timer0 counter/timer is not directly readable nor
writable. TMR0H is updated with the contents of the
high byte of Timer0 during a read of TMR0L. This provides the ability to read all 16 bits of Timer0 without
having to verify that the read of the high and low byte
were valid due to a rollover between successive reads
of the high and low byte.
Prescaler
An 8-bit counter is available as a prescaler for the Timer0
module. The prescaler is not readable or writable.
Note:
Timer0 Interrupt
The TMR0 interrupt is generated when the TMR0
register overflows from FFh to 00h in 8-bit mode, or
FFFFh to 0000h in 16-bit mode. This overflow sets the
TMR0IF bit. The interrupt can be masked by clearing
the TMR0IE bit. The TMR0IF bit must be cleared in
software by the Timer0 module interrupt service routine
before re-enabling this interrupt. The TMR0 interrupt
cannot awaken the processor from Sleep mode, since
the timer requires clock cycles, even when T0CS is set.
Counter mode is selected by setting the T0CS bit. In
Counter mode, Timer0 will increment, either on every
rising or falling edge of pin RC3/T0CKI. The incrementing edge is determined by the Timer0 Source Edge
Select bit (T0SE). Clearing the T0SE bit selects the
rising edge.

TIMER1 MODULE
The Timer1 module timer/counter has the following
features:
• 16-bit timer/counter
(two 8-bit registers; TMR1H and TMR1L)
• Readable and writable (both registers)
• Internal or external clock select
• Interrupt-on-overflow from FFFFh to 0000h
• Reset from CCP module special event trigger
• Status of system clock operation
Figure 12-1 is a simplified block diagram of the Timer1
module.
REGISTER 12-1:
Register 12-1 details the Timer1 control register. This
register controls the Operating mode of the Timer1
module, and contains the Timer1 Oscillator Enable bit
(T1OSCEN). Timer1 can be enabled or disabled by
setting or clearing control bit TMR1ON (T1CON<0>).
The Timer1 oscillator can be used as a secondary clock
source in power-managed modes. When the T1RUN
bit is set, the Timer1 oscillator provides the system
clock. If the Fail-Safe Clock Monitor is enabled and the
Timer1 oscillator fails while providing the system clock,
polling the T1RUN bit will indicate whether the clock is
being provided by the Timer1 oscillator or another
source.
Timer1 can also be used to provide Real-Time Clock
(RTC) functionality to applications with only a minimal
addition of external components and code overhead.

Timer1 Operation
When TMR1CS = 0, Timer1 increments every instruction cycle. When TMR1CS = 1, Timer1 increments on
every rising edge of the external clock input or the
Timer1 oscillator, if enabled.
Timer1 can operate in one of these modes:
• As a timer
• As a synchronous counter
• As an asynchronous counter
When the Timer1 oscillator is enabled (T1OSCEN is
set), the RC1/T1OSI/CCP2/FLTA and RC0/T1OSO/
T1CKI pins become inputs. That is, the
TRISC1:TRISC0 value is ignored, and the pins are
read as ‘0’.
The Operating mode is determined by the Clock Select
bit, TMR1CS (T1CON<1>).
Timer1 also has an internal “Reset input”. This Reset
can be generated by the CCP module (see
Section 15.4.4 “Special Event Trigger”).

Timer1 Oscillator
12.3
A crystal oscillator circuit is built-in between pins T1OSI
(input) and T1OSO (amplifier output). It is enabled by
setting control bit T1OSCEN (T1CON<3>). The oscillator is a low-power oscillator rated for 32 kHz crystals. It
will continue to run during all power-managed modes.
The circuit for a typical LP oscillator is shown in
Figure 12-3. Table 12-1 shows the capacitor selection
for the Timer1 oscillator.
The user must provide a software time delay to ensure
proper start-up of the Timer1 oscillator.

The low-power option is enabled by clearing the
T1OSCMX bit (CONFIG3L<5>). By default, the option
is disabled, which results in a more-or-less constant
current draw for the Timer1 oscillator.
The oscillator circuit, shown in Figure 12-3, should be
located as close as possible to the microcontroller.
There should be no circuits passing within the oscillator
circuit boundaries other than VSS or VDD.

TABLE 12-1:
The Timer1 oscillator for PIC18F2331/2431/4331/4431
devices incorporates an additional low-power feature.
When this option is selected, it allows the oscillator to
automatically reduce its power consumption when the
microcontroller is in Sleep mode. During normal device
operation, the oscillator draws full current. As high
noise environments may cause excessive oscillator
instability in Sleep mode, this option is best suited for
low noise applications where power conservation is an
important design consideration.
Due to the low power nature of the oscillator, it may also
be sensitive to rapidly changing signals in close
proximity.

CAPACITOR SELECTION FOR

If a high-speed circuit must be located near the oscillator (such as the CCP1 pin in output compare or PWM
mode, or the primary oscillator using the OSC2 pin), a
grounded guard ring around the oscillator circuit, as
shown in Figure 12-4, may be helpful when used on a
single sided PCB, or in addition to a ground plane.

Timer1 Interrupt
12.7
The TMR1 register pair (TMR1H:TMR1L) increments
from 0000h to FFFFh and rolls over to 0000h. The
Timer1 interrupt, if enabled, is generated on overflow,
which is latched in interrupt flag bit, TMR1IF
(PIR1<0>). This interrupt can be enabled/disabled by
setting/clearing Timer1 interrupt enable bit, TMR1IE
(PIE1<0>).
12.5
Resetting Timer1 Using a CCP
Trigger Output
If the CCP module is configured in Compare mode to
generate a “special event trigger” (CCP1M3:CCP1M0
= 1011), this signal will reset Timer1 and start an A/D
conversion if the A/D module is enabled (see
Section 15.4.4 “Special Event Trigger” for more
information.).
Note:
The special event triggers from the CCP1
module will not set interrupt flag bit
TMR1IF (PIR1<0>).
Timer1 must be configured for either Timer or Synchronized Counter mode to take advantage of this feature.
If Timer1 is running in Asynchronous Counter mode,
this Reset operation may not work.
In the event that a write to Timer1 coincides with a
special event trigger from CCP1, the write will take
precedence.
In this mode of operation, the CCPR1H:CCPR1L registers pair effectively becomes the period register for
Timer1.
12.6
Timer1 16-Bit Read/Write Mode
Using Timer1 as a Real-Time
Clock
Adding an external LP oscillator to Timer1 (such as the
one described in Section 12.2 “Timer1 Oscillator”),
gives users the option to include RTC functionality to
their applications. This is accomplished with an
inexpensive watch crystal to provide an accurate time
base, and several lines of application code to calculate
the time. When operating in Sleep mode and using a
battery or supercapacitor as a power source, it can
completely eliminate the need for a separate RTC
device and battery backup.
The application code routine RTCisr, shown in
Example 12-1, demonstrates a simple method to
increment a counter at one-second intervals using an
interrupt service routine. Incrementing the TMR1
register pair to overflow triggers the interrupt and calls
the routine, which increments the seconds counter by
one. Additional counters for minutes and hours are
incremented as the previous counter overflow.
Since the register pair is 16-bits wide, counting up to
overflow the register directly from a 32.768 kHz clock
would take 2 seconds. To force the overflow at the
required one-second intervals, it is necessary to preload it; the simplest method is to set the MSbit of
TMR1H with a BSF instruction. Note that the TMR1L
register is never preloaded or altered; doing so may
introduce cumulative error over many cycles.
For this method to be accurate, Timer1 must operate in
Asynchronous mode, and the Timer1 overflow interrupt
must be enabled (PIE1<0> = 1), as shown in the routine RTCinit. The Timer1 oscillator must also be
enabled and running at all times.
Timer1 can be configured for 16-bit reads and writes
(see Figure 12-2). When the RD16 control bit
(T1CON<7>) is set, the address for TMR1H is mapped
to a buffer register for the high byte of Timer1. A read
from TMR1L will load the contents of the high byte of
Timer1 into the Timer1 high byte buffer. This provides
the user with the ability to accurately read all 16 bits of
Timer1 without having to determine whether a read of
the high byte, followed by a read of the low byte, is
valid, due to a rollover between reads.
A write to the high byte of Timer1 must also take place
through the TMR1H buffer register. Timer1 high byte is
updated with the contents of TMR1H when a write
occurs to TMR1L. This allows a user to write all 16 bits
to both the high and low bytes of Timer1 at once.
The high byte of Timer1 is not directly readable or writable in this mode. All reads and writes must take place
through the Timer1 high byte buffer register. Writes to
TMR1H do not clear the Timer1 prescaler. The
prescaler is only cleared on writes to TMR1L.

Timer2 has a control register shown in Register 13-1.
TMR2 can be shut off by clearing control bit TMR2ON
(T2CON<2>) to minimize power consumption.
Figure 13-1 is a simplified block diagram of the Timer2
module. Register 13-1 shows the Timer2 control
register. The prescaler and postscaler selection of
Timer2 are controlled by this register.
REGISTER 13-1:
Timer2 Operation
Timer2 can be used as the PWM time base for the
PWM mode of the CCP module. The TMR2 register is
readable and writable, and is cleared on any device
Reset. The input clock (FOSC/4) has a prescale option
of 1:1, 1:4 or 1:16, selected by control bits
T2CKPS1:T2CKPS0 (T2CON<1:0>). The match output of TMR2 goes through a 4-bit postscaler (which
gives a 1:1 to 1:16 scaling inclusive) to generate a
TMR2 interrupt (latched in flag bit TMR2IF, (PIR1<1>)).
The prescaler and postscaler counters are cleared
when any of the following occurs:
• A write to the TMR2 register
• A write to the T2CON register
• Any device Reset (Power-on Reset, MCLR Reset,
Watchdog Timer Reset or Brown-out Reset)
TMR2 is not cleared when T2CON is written.

Timer5 Operation
Timer5 supports three configurations:
Timer5 combines two 8-bit registers to function as a 16bit timer. The TMR5L register is the actual low byte of
the timer; it can be read and written to directly. The high
byte is contained in an unmapped register; it is read
and written to through TMR5H, which serves as a
buffer. Each register increments from 00h to FFh.
A second register pair, PR5H and PR5L, serves as a
period register; it sets the maximum count for the
TMR5 register pair. When TMR5 reaches the value of
PR5, the timer rolls over to 00h and sets the TMR5IF
interrupt flag. A simplified block diagram of the Timer5
module is shown in Figure 2-1.
Note:
The TIMER5 may be used as a general
purpose timer and as the time base
resource to the Motion Feedback module
(Input Capture or Quadrature Encoder
Interface).
DS39616B-page 146
PR5H
• 16-bit Synchronous Timer
• 16-bit Synchronous Counter
• 16-bit Asynchronous Counter
In Synchronous Timer configuration, the timer is
clocked by the internal device clock. The optional
Timer5 prescaler divides the input by 2, 4, 8, or not at
all (1:1). The TMR5 register pair increments on Q1.
Clearing TMR5CS (= 0) selects the internal device
clock as the timer sampling clock.
In Synchronous Counter configuration, the timer is
clocked by the external clock (T5CKI) with the optional
prescaler. The external T5CKI is selected by setting the
TMR5CS bit (TMR5CS = 1); the internal clock is
selected by clearing TMR5CS. The external clock is
synchronized to the internal clock by clearing the
T5SYNC bit. The input on T5CKI is sampled on every
Q2 and Q4 of the internal clock. The low to rise
transition is decoded on three adjacent samples and
Preliminary
 2003 Microchip Technology Inc.
PIC18F2331/2431/4331/4431
the Timer5 is incremented on the next Q1. The T5CKI
minimum pulse width high and low time must be
greater than TCY/2.
In Asynchronous Counter configuration, Timer5 is
clocked by the external clock (T5CKI) with the optional
prescaler. In this mode, T5CKI is not synchronized to
the internal clock. By setting TMR5CS, the external
input clock (T5CKI) can be used as the counter sampling clock. When T5SYNC is set, the external clock is
not synchronized to the internal device clock.
The timer count is not reset automatically when the
module is disabled. The user may write the counter
register to initialize the counter.

writes to the PR5 registers (PR5H:PR5L)
while the timer is enabled. Writing to PR5
while the timer is enabled may result in
unexpected period match events.
CONTINUOUS AND SINGLE-SHOT
OPERATION
Timer5 has two operating modes: Continuous-count
and Single-shot.
Continuous-count mode is selected by clearing the
T5MOD control bit (= 0). In this mode, the Timer5 time
base will start incrementing according to the prescaler
settings until a TMR5/PR5 match occurs, or until TMR5
rolls over (FFFFh to 0000h). The TMR5IF interrupt flag
is set, the TMR5 register is reset on the following input
clock edge, and the timer continues to count for as long
as the TMR5ON bit remains set.
Single-shot mode is selected by setting T5MOD (= 1).
In this mode, the Timer5 time base begins to increment
according to the prescaler settings until a TMR5/PR5
match occurs. This causes the TMR5IF interrupt flag to
be set, the TMR5 register pair to be cleared on the
following input clock edge, and the TMR5ON bit to be
cleared by the hardware to halt the timer.
The Timer5 time base can only start incrementing in
Single-shot mode under two conditions:
1.
2.
Timer5 is enabled (TMR5ON is set), or
Timer5 is disabled, and a Special Event Reset
trigger is present on the Timer5 reset input. (See
Section 14.7 “Timer5 Special Event Reset
Input” for additional information).
14.2
16-bit Read/Write and Write Modes
As noted, the actual high byte of the Timer5 register
pair is mapped to TMR5H, which serves as a buffer.
Reading TMR5L will load the contents of the high byte
of the register pair into the TMR5H register. This allows
the user to accurately read all 16 bits of the register
pair, without having to determine whether a read of the
high byte followed by the low byte is valid due to a
rollover between reads.
 2003 Microchip Technology Inc.
Since the actual high byte of the Timer5 register pair is
not directly readable or writable, it must be read and
written to through the Timer5 High Byte Buffer register
(TMR5H). The T5 high byte is updated with the contents of TMR5H when a write occurs to TMR5L. This
allows a user to write all 16 bits to both the high and low
bytes of Timer5 at once. Writes to TMR5H do not clear
the Timer5 prescaler. The prescaler is only cleared on
writes to TMR5L.
14.2.1
16-BIT READ-MODIFY-WRITE
Read-modify-write instructions like BSF and BCF will
read the contents of a register, make the appropriate
changes, and place the result back into the register.
The write portion of a read-modify-write instruction of
TMR5H will not update the contents of the high byte of
TMR5 until a write of TMR5L takes place. Only then will
the contents of TMR5H be placed into the high byte of
TMR5.
14.3
Timer5 Prescaler
The Timer5 clock input (either TCY or the external clock)
may be divided by using the Timer5 programmable
prescaler. The prescaler control bits T5PS1:T5PS0
(T5CON<4:3>) select a prescale factor of 2, 4, 8 or no
prescale.
The Timer5 prescaler is cleared by any of the following:
• A write to the Timer5 register
• Disabling Timer5 (TMR5ON = 0)
• A device Reset such as Master Clear, POR or
BOR
Note:
14.4
Writing to the T5CON register does not
clear the Timer5.
Noise Filter
The Timer5 module includes an optional input noise
filter, designed to reduce spurious signals in noisy
operating environments. The filter ensures that the
input is not permitted to change until a stable value has
been registered for three consecutive sampling clock
cycles.
The noise filter is part of the input filter network associated with the Motion Feedback Module (see
Section 16.0 “Motion Feedback Module”). All of the
filters are controlled using the Digital Filter Control
(DFLTCON) register (Register 16-3). The Timer5 filter
can be individually enabled or disabled by setting or
clearing the FLT4EN bit (DFLTCON<7>). It is disabled
on all BOR and BOR resets.
For additional information, refer to Section 16.3
“Noise Filters” in the Motion Feedback module.

14.7.2
Timer5 Interrupt
Timer5 has the ability to generate an interrupt on a
period match. When the PR5 register is loaded with a
new period value (00FFh), the Timer5 time base increments until its value is equal to the value of PR5. When
a match occurs, the Timer5 interrupt is generated on
the rising edge of Q4; TMR5IF is set on the next TCY.
The interrupt latency (i.e., the time elapsed from the
moment Timer5 rolls over until TMR5IF is set) will not
exceed 1 TCY. When the Timer5 clock input is
prescaled and a TMR5/PR5 match occurs, the interrupt
will be generated on the first Q4 rising edge after TMR5
resets.
14.6
Timer5 Special Event Trigger
Output
A Timer5 special event trigger is generated on a TMR5/
PR5 match. The special event trigger is generated on
the falling edge of Q3.
Timer5 must be configured for either Synchronous
mode (counter or timer) to take advantage of the
special event trigger feature. If Timer5 is running in
Asynchronous Counter mode, the special event trigger
may not work and should not be used.
14.7
Timer5 Special Event Reset Input
In addition to the special event output, Timer5 has a
Special Event Reset input that may be used with Input
Capture channel 1 (IC1) of the Motion Feedback
module. To use the Special Event Reset, the Capture 1
Control register CAP1CON must be configured for one
of the special event trigger modes (CAP1M3:CAP1M0
= 1110 or 1111). The Special Event Reset trigger can
be disabled by setting the RESEN control bit
(T5CON<6>).
The Special Event Reset resets the Timer5 time base.
This reset occurs in either Continuous-count or Singleshot modes.
14.7.1
An active edge on CAP1 can also be used to initiate
some later action delayed by the Timer5 time base. In
this case, Timer5 increments as before after being
triggered. When the hardware time-out occurs, the
special event trigger output is generated and used to
trigger another action, such as an A/D conversion. This
allows a given hardware action to be referenced from a
capture edge on CAP1 and delayed by the timer.
The event timing for the delayed action event trigger is
discussed further in Section 16.1 “Input Capture”.
14.7.3
DS39616B-page 148
SPECIAL EVENT RESET WHILE
TIMER5 IS INCREMENTING
In the event that a bus write to Timer5 coincides with a
Special Event Reset trigger, the bus write will always
take precedence over Special Event Reset trigger.
14.8
Operation in Sleep Mode
When Timer5 is configured for asynchronous operation, it will continue to increment each timer clock (or
prescale multiple of clocks). Executing the SLEEP
instruction will either stop the timer or let the timer continue, depending on the setting of the Timer5 Sleep
Enable bit, T5SE. If T5SE is set (= 1), the timer continues to run when the SLEEP instruction is executed and
the external clock is selected (TMR5CS = 1). If T5SE is
cleared, the timer stops when a SLEEP instruction is
executed, regardless of the state of the GTPCS bit.
To summarize, Timer5 will continue to increment when
a SLEEP instruction is executed only if all of these bits
are set:
•
•
•
•
TMR5ON
T5SE
TMR5CS
T5SYNC
14.8.1
WAKE-UP ON IC1 EDGE
The Timer5 Special Event Reset input can act as a
Timer5 wake-up and a start-up pulse. Timer5 must be
in Single-shot mode and disabled (TMR5ON = 0). An
active edge on the CAP1 input pin will set TMR5ON;
the timer is subsequently incremented on the next following clock according to the prescaler and the Timer5
clock settings. A subsequent hardware time-out (such
as TMR5/PR5 match) will clear the TMR5ON bit and
stop the timer.
DELAYED-ACTION EVENT
TRIGGER
INTERRUPT DETECT IN SLEEP
MODE
When configured as described above, Timer5 will
continue to increment on each rising edge on T5CKI
while in Sleep mode. When a TMR5/PR5 match
occurs, an interrupt is generated which can wake the
part.

CAPTURE/COMPARE/PWM
(CCP) MODULES
The CCP (Capture/Compare/PWM) module contains a
16-bit register that can operate as a 16-bit Capture register, a 16-bit Compare register or a PWM Master/Slave
Duty Cycle register. Table 15-1 shows the timer
resources required for each of the CCP module modes.
The operation of CCP1 is identical to that of CCP2, with
the exception of the special event trigger. Therefore,
operation of a CCP module is described with respect to
CCP1, except where noted.

15.3.3
Capture Mode
In Capture mode, CCPR1H:CCPR1L captures the 16bit value of the TMR1 register when an event occurs on
pin RC2/CCP1. An event is defined as one of the
following:
•
•
•
•
every falling edge
every rising edge
every 4th rising edge
every 16th rising edge
CCP PIN CONFIGURATION
In Capture mode, the RC2/CCP1 pin should be
configured as an input by setting the TRISC<2> bit.
Note:
15.3.2
If the RC2/CCP1 is configured as an output, a write to the port can cause a capture
condition.
TIMER1 MODE SELECTION
Timer 1 must be running in Timer mode or Synchronized Counter mode to be used with the capture feature. In Asynchronous Counter mode, the capture
operation may not work.
FIGURE 15-1:
When the Capture mode is changed, a false capture
interrupt may be generated. The user should keep bit
CCP1IE (PIE1<2>) clear to avoid false interrupts and
should clear the flag bit, CCP1IF, following any such
change in operating mode.
15.3.4
The event is selected by control bits CCP1M3:CCP1M0
(CCP1CON<3:0>). When a capture is made, the
interrupt request flag bit CCP1IF (PIR1<2>) is set; it
must be cleared in software. If another capture occurs
before the value in register CCPR1 is read, the old
captured value is overwritten by the new captured value.
15.3.1
SOFTWARE INTERRUPT
CCP PRESCALER
There are four prescaler settings, specified by bits
CCP1M3:CCP1M0. Whenever the CCP module is
turned off or the CCP module is not in Capture mode,
the prescaler counter is cleared. This means that any
Reset will clear the prescaler counter.
Switching from one capture prescaler to another may
generate an interrupt. Also, the prescaler counter will
not be cleared, therefore, the first capture may be from
a non-zero prescaler. Example 15-1 shows the recommended method for switching between capture prescalers. This example also clears the prescaler counter
and will not generate the “false” interrupt.

Compare Mode
TIMER1 MODE SELECTION
In Compare mode, the 16-bit CCPR1 (CCPR2) register
value is constantly compared against the TMR1
register pair value. When a match occurs, the RC2/
CCP1 (RC1/CCP2) pin:
Timer1 must be running in Timer mode or Synchronized Counter mode if the CCP module is using the
compare feature. In Asynchronous Counter mode, the
compare operation may not work.

When generate software interrupt is chosen, the CCP1
pin is not affected. Only a CCP interrupt is generated (if
enabled).
The action on the pin is based on the value of control
bits CCP1M3:CCP1M0 (CCP2M3:CCP2M0). At the
same time, interrupt flag bit CCP1IF (CCP2IF) is set.
15.4.1
15.4.4
The special event trigger output of CCP1 resets the
TMR1 register pair. This allows the CCPR1 register to
effectively be a 16-bit programmable period register for
Timer1.
The user must configure the CCPx pin as an output by
clearing the appropriate TRISC bit.
Clearing the CCP1CON register will force
the RC2/CCP1 compare output latch to
the default low level. This is not the
PORTC I/O data latch.
The special trigger output of CCP2 resets the TMR1
register pair. Additionally, the CCP2 special event
trigger will start an A/D conversion if the A/D module is
enabled.

15.5.1
PWM Mode
In Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) mode, the CCP1 pin
produces up to a 10-bit resolution PWM output. Since
the CCP1 pin is multiplexed with the PORTC data latch,
the TRISC<2> bit must be cleared to make the CCP1
pin an output.
Note:
Clearing the CCP1CON register will force
the CCP1 PWM output latch to the default
low level. This is not the PORTC I/O data
latch.
Figure 15-3 shows a simplified block diagram of the
CCP module in PWM mode.
For a step-by-step procedure on how to set up the CCP
module for PWM operation, see Section 15.5.3
“Setup for PWM Operation”.
FIGURE 15-3:
SIMPLIFIED PWM BLOCK

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

The Timer2 postscaler (see Section 13.0
“Timer2 Module”) is not used in the determination of the PWM frequency. The
postscaler could be used to have a servo
update rate at a different frequency than
the PWM output.
PWM DUTY CYCLE
The PWM duty cycle is specified by writing to the
CCPR1L register and to the CCP1CON<5:4> bits. Up
to 10-bit resolution is available. The CCPR1L contains
the eight MSbs and the CCP1CON<5:4> contains the
two LSbs. This 10-bit value is represented by
CCPR1L:CCP1CON<5:4>. The PWM duty cycle is
calculated by the following equation.
EQUATION 15-2:
PWM duty cycle = (CCPR1L:CCP1CON<5:4>) •
Tosc • (TMR2 prescale value)
Note: 8-bit timer is concatenated with 2-bit internal Q clock or
2 bits of the prescaler to create 10-bit time base.
A PWM output (Figure 15-4) has a time base
(period) and a time that the output is high (duty
cycle). The frequency of the PWM is the inverse of
the period (1/period).
FIGURE 15-4:
PWM PERIOD
CCPR1L and CCP1CON<5:4> can be written to at any
time, but the duty cycle value is not copied into
CCPR1H until a match between PR2 and TMR2 occurs
(i.e., the period is complete). In PWM mode, CCPR1H
is a read-only register.

The CCPR1H register and a 2-bit internal latch are
used to double buffer the PWM duty cycle. This double
buffering is essential for glitchless PWM operation.
When the CCPR1H and 2-bit latch match TMR2,
concatenated with an internal 2-bit Q clock or two bits
of the TMR2 prescaler, the CCP1 pin is cleared. The
maximum PWM resolution (bits) for a given PWM

MOTION FEEDBACK MODULE
The Motion Feedback module is a special-purpose
peripheral designed for motion feedback applications.
Together with the Power Control PWM module (see
Section 17.0 “Power Control PWM Module”), it provides a variety of control solutions for a wide range of
electric motors.
The module actually consists of two hardware
sub-modules:
Many of the features for the IC and QEI submodules
are fully programmable, creating a flexible peripheral
structure that can accommodate a wide range of
in-system uses. An overview of the available features
is presented in Table 16-1. A simplified block diagram
of the entire Motion Feedback module is shown in
Figure 16-1.
Note:
• Input Capture module (IC)
• Quadrature Encoder Interface (QEI).
Because the same input pins are common
to the IC and QEI submodules, only one of
these two submodules may be used at any
given time. If both modules are on, the QEI
submodule will take precedence.
Together with Timer5 (see Section 14.0 “Timer5 Module”), these modules provide a number of options for
motion and control applications.

Input Capture
The Input Capture (IC) submodule implements the
following features:
• Three channels of independent input capture
(16-bits/channel) on the CAP1, CAP2 and CAP3
pins
• Edge-trigger, period or pulse width measurement
operating modes for each channel
• Programmable prescaler on every input capture
channel
• Special event trigger output (IC1 only)
• Selectable noise filters on each capture input
FIGURE 16-2:
Input channel (IC1) includes a special event trigger
that can be configured for use in Velocity Measurement mode. Its block diagram is shown in Figure 16-2.
IC2 and IC3 are similar, but lack the special event trigger features or additional velocity-measurement logic.
A representative block diagram is shown in
Figure 16-3. Please note that the time base is Timer5.

through the Input Capture Control Registers
CAP1CON, CAP2CON, and CAP3CON. Each channel
is configured independently with its dedicated register.
The implementation of the registers is identical, except

Note 1: Input capture prescalers are reset
(cleared) when the Input Capture module
is disabled (CAPxM = 0000).
2: When the Input Capture mode is changed
without first disabling the module and
entering the new Input Capture mode, a
false interrupt (or special event trigger on
IC1) may be generated. The user should
either (1) disable the Input Capture before
entering another mode or (2) disable IC
interrupts to avoid false interrupts during
IC mode changes.
3: During IC mode changes, the prescaler
count will not be cleared, therefore the
first capture in the new IC mode may be
from the non-zero prescaler.
FIGURE 16-4:
16.1.1
EDGE CAPTURE MODE
In this mode, the value of the time base is captured
either on every rising edge, every falling edge, every
4th rising edge, or every 16th rising edge. The edge
present on the input capture pin (CAP1, CAP2 or
CAP3) is sampled by the synchronizing latch. The
signal is used to load the input capture buffer (ICxBUF
register) on the following Q1 clock (see Figure 16-4).
Consequently, Timer5 is either reset to ‘0’ (Q1
immediately following the capture event) or left free
running, depending on the setting of Capture Reset
Enable, CAPxREN, in the CAPxCON register.
Note:
On the first capture edge following the
setting of the Input Capture mode (i.e.,
MOVWF CAP1CON), Timer5 contents are
always captured into the corresponding
input capture buffer (i.e., CAPxBUF).
Timer5 can optionally be reset; however,
this is dependent on the setting of the
Capture Reset Enable bit (CAPxREN),
see Figure 16-4.

TMR5 is a synchronous time base input to the Input Capture, prescaler = 1:1. It increments on Q1 rising edge.
2:
IC1 is configured in Edge Capture mode (CAP1M3:CAP1M0 = 0010) with the time base reset upon edge capture
(CAP1REN = 1) and no noise filter.
3:
TMR5 value is latched by CAP1BUF on TCY. In the event that a write to TMR5 coincides with an input capture event,
the write will always take precedence. All input capture buffers, CAP1BUF, CAP2BUF and CAP3BUF, are updated with
the incremented value of the time base on the next TCY clock edge when the capture event takes place (see Note 4
when Reset occurs).
4:
TMR5 Reset is normally an asynchronous reset signal to TMR5. When used with the input capture, it is active immediately after the time base value is captured.
5:
TMR5 Reset pulse is disabled by clearing CAP1REN bit (e.g, BCF CAP1CON, CAP1REN).

16.1.2
PERIOD MEASUREMENT MODE
The Period Measurement mode is selected by setting
CAPxM3:CAPxM0 = 0101. In this mode, the value of
Timer5 is latched into the CAPxBUF register on the rising edge of the input capture trigger and Timer5 is subsequently reset to 0000h (optional by setting
CAPxREN = 1) on the next TCY (see capture and reset
relationship in Figure 16-4).
16.1.3
PULSE WIDTH MEASUREMENT
MODE
The Pulse Width Measurement mode can be configured for two different edge sequences, such that the
pulse width is based on either the falling to rising edge
FIGURE 16-5:
of the CAPx input pin (CAPxM3:CAPxM0 = 0110), or
on the rising to falling edge (CAPxM3:CAPxM0 =
0111).
Timer5 is always reset on the edge when the
measurement is first initiated. For example, when the
measurement is based on the falling to rising edge,
Timer5 is first reset on the falling edge and the timer
value is captured on the rising edge thereafter. Upon
entry into the Pulse Width Measurement mode, the
very first edge detected on the CAPx pin is always
captured. The TMR5 value is reset on the first active
edge (see Figure 16-5).

IC1 is configured in Pulse Width Measurement mode (CAP1M3:CAP1M0 = 0111, rising to falling pulse width measurement). No noise filter on CAP1 input is used. MOVWF instruction loads CAP1CON when W = 0111.
3:
TMR5 value is latched by CAP1BUF on TCY rising edge. In the event that a write to TMR5 coincides with an input capture event, the write will always take precedence. All input capture buffers, CAP1BUF, CAP2BUF and CAP3BUF, are

always present on the edge that first initiates the pulse width measurement (i.e., when configured in the rising to falling
Pulse Width Measurement mode, it is active on each rising edge detected. In the falling to rising Pulse Width Measurement mode, it is active on each falling edge detected.

16.1.3.1
Pulse Width Measurement Timing
16.1.4
Pulse width measurement accuracy can be only
ensured when the pulse width high and low present on
CAPx input exceeds one TCY clock cycle. The
limitations depend on the mode selected:
INPUT CAPTURE ON STATE
CHANGE
When CAPxM3:CAPxM0 = 1000, the value is captured
on every signal change on the CAPx input. If all three
capture channels are configured in this mode, the
three-input-capture can be used as the Hall-effect
sensor state transition detector. The value of Timer5
can be captured, Timer5 reset and the interrupt
generated. Any change on CAP1, CAP2 or CAP3 is
detected and the associated time base count is
captured.
• When CAPxM3:CAPxM0 = 0110 (rising-to-falling
edge delay), the CAPx input high pulse width
(TccH) must exceed TCY + 10 ns.
• When CAPxM3:CAPxM0 = 0111 (falling-to-rising
edge delay), the CAPx input low pulse width
(TccL) must exceed TCY + 10 ns.
For position and velocity measurement in this mode,
the timer can be optionally reset (see Section 16.1.6
“Timer5 Reset” for Reset options).
Note 1: The Period Measurement mode will
produce valid results upon sampling of
the second rising edge of the input
capture. CAPxBUF values latched during
the first active edge after initialization are
invalid.
2: The Pulse Width Measurement mode will
latch the value of the timer upon sampling
of the first input signal edge by the input
capture.

ENTERING INPUT CAPTURE MODE
AND CAPTURE TIMING
The following is a summary of functional operation
upon entering any of the Input Capture modes:
1.
2.
After the module is configured for one of the
capture modes by setting the Mode Select bits
(CAPxM3:CAPxM0), the first detected edge
captures Timer5 value and stores it in the CAPxBUF register. The timer is then reset (depending
on the setting of CAPxREN bit) and starts to
increment according to its settings, see
Figure 16-4, Figure 16-5 and Figure 16-6.
On all edges, the capture logic performs the following:
a) Input Capture mode is decoded and the
active edge is identified
b) The CAPxREN bit is checked to determine
whether Timer5 is reset or not.
c) On every active edge, the Timer5 value is
recorded in the input capture buffer (CAPxBUF).
d) Reset Timer5 after capturing the value of
the timer when CAPxREN bit is enabled.
Timer5 is reset on every active capture
edge in this case.
e) On all continuing capture edge events
repeat steps 1 through 4 until the Operational mode is terminated either by user
firmware, POR or BOR.
f) The timer value is not affected when switching into and out of various input capture
modes.
 2003 Microchip Technology Inc.
16.1.6
TIMER5 RESET
Every Input Capture trigger can optionally reset
(TMR5). Capture Reset Enable bit, CAPxREN, gates
the automatic Reset of the time base of the capture
event with this enable Reset signal. All capture events
reset the selected timer when CAPxREN is set. Resets
are disabled when CAPxREN is cleared (see
Figure 16-4, Figure 16-5 and Figure 16-6).
Note:
16.1.7
The CAPxREN bit has no effect in Pulse
Width Measurement mode.
IC INTERRUPTS
There are four operating modes for which the IC
module can generate an interrupt and set one of the
Interrupt Capture flag bits (IC1IF, IC2QEIF or
IC3DRIF). The interrupt flag that is set depends on the
channel in which the event occurs. The modes are:
• Edge capture (CAPxM3:CAPxM0 = 0001, 0010,
0011 or 0100)
• Period measurement event
(CAPxM3:CAPxM0 = 0101)
• Pulse width measurement event
(CAPxM3:CAPxM0 = 0110 or 0111)
• State change event (CAPxM3:CAPxM0 = 1000)
Note:
The special event trigger is generated only
in the Special Event Trigger mode on
CAP1 input (CAP1M2:CAP1M0> = 1110
and 1111). IC1IF interrupt is not set in this
mode.
The timing of interrupt and special trigger events is
shown in Figure 16-7. Any active edge is detected on
the rising edge of Q2 and propagated on the rising
edge of Q4 rising edge. If an active edge happens to
occur any later than this (on the falling edge of Q2, for
example), then it will be recognized on the next Q2
rising edge.

event capture. With the Special Event Reset Trigger disabled, Timer5 cannot be reset by the Special Event Reset
Trigger on CAP1 input. In order for the Special Event Reset Trigger to work as the Reset trigger to Timer5, IC1 must be
configured in the Special Event Trigger mode (CAP1M<3:0> = 1110 or 1111).

exclusive, the IC can be reconfigured to work with the
QEI module to perform specific functions. In effect, the
QEI “borrows” hardware from the IC to perform these
operations.
For velocity measurement, the QEI uses dedicated
hardware in channel IC1. The CAP1BUF registers are
remapped, becoming the VREG registers. Its operation
and use are described in Section 16.2.6 “Velocity
Measurement”.
While in QEI mode, the CAP2BUF and CAP3BUF registers of channel IC2 and IC3 are used for position
determination. They are remapped as the POSCNT
and MAXCNT buffer registers, respectively.

Quadrature Encoder Interface
The QEI control logic detects the leading edge on the
QEA or QEB phase input pins, and generates the count
pulse which is sent to the position counter logic. It also
samples the index input signal (INDX), and generates
the direction of rotation signal (up/down) and the velocity event signals.
The Quadrature Encoder Interface (QEI) decodes
speed and motion sensor information. It can be used in
any application that uses a quadrature encoder for
feedback. The interface implements these features:
• Three QEI inputs: two phase signals (QEA and
QEB) and one index signal (INDX)
• Direction of movement detection with a direction
change interrupt (IC3DRIF)
• 16-bit up/down position counter
• Standard and high-precision position tracking
modes
• Two position update modes (x2 and x4)
• Velocity measurement with a programmable
postscaler for high-speed velocity measurement
• Position counter interrupt (IC2QEIF in the PIR3
register)
• Velocity control interrupt (IC1IF in the PIR3
register)
The position counter acts as an integrator for tracking
distance traveled. The QEA and QEB input edges
serve as the stimulus to create the input clock which
advances the Position Counter Register (POSCNT).
The register is incremented on either the QEA input
edge, or the QEA and QEB input edges, depending on
the operating mode. It is reset either by a rollover on
match to the Period Register, MAXCNT, or on the external index pulse input signal (INDX). An interrupt is generated on a reset of POSCNT if the position counter
interrupt is enabled.
The velocity postscaler down-samples the velocity
pulses used to increment the velocity counter by a
specified ratio. It essentially divides down the number
of velocity pulses to one output per so many input, preserving the pulse width in the process.
The QEI sub-module has three main components: the
QEI control logic block, the position counter and
velocity postscaler.

QEI CONFIGURATION
The QEI module shares its input pins with the Input
Capture module. The inputs are mutually exclusive;
only the IC module or the QEI module (but not both)
can be enabled at one time. Also, because the IC and
QEI are multiplexed to the same input pins, the
programmable noise filters can be dedicated to one
module only.
REGISTER 16-2:
The operation of the QEI is controlled by the QEICON
configuration register. See Register 16-2.
Note:
In the event that both QEI and IC are
enabled, QEI will take precedence and IC
will remain disabled.

Position measurement resolution depends on how

QEI x2 Update Mode
QEI x2 Update mode is selected by setting the QEI
Mode Select bits (QEIM2:QEIM0) to ‘001’ or ‘010’. In
this mode, the QEI logic detects every edge on the
QEA input only. Every rising and falling edge on the
QEA signal clocks the position counter.
The position counter can be reset by either an input on
the INDX pin (QEIM2:QEIM0 = 001), or by a
period-match, even when the POSCNT register pair
equals MAXCNT (QEIM2:QEIM0 = 010).
16.2.2.2
The Position Counter register pair (POSCNTH:
POSCNTL) acts as an integrator, whose value is proportional to the position of the sensor rotor that corresponds to the number of active edges detected.
POSCNT can either increment or decrement, depending on a number of selectable factors which are
decoded by the QEI logic block. These include the
Count mode selected, the phase relationship of QEA to
QEB (“lead/lag”), the direction of rotation, and if a reset
event occurs. The logic is detailed in the sections that
follow.
16.2.3.1
Like QEI x2 mode, the position counter can be reset by
an input on the pin (QEIM2:QEIM0 = 101), or by the
period-match event (QEIM2:QEIM0 = 010).
DS39616B-page 172
Edge and Phase Detect
In the first step, the active edges of QEA and QEB are
detected, and the phase relationship between them is
determined. The position counter is changed based on
the selected QEI mode.
In QEI x2 Update mode, the position counter increments or decrements on every QEA edge based on the
phase relationship of the QEA and QEB signals.
In QEI x4 Update mode, the position counter
increments or decrements on every QEA and QEB
edge based on the phase relationship of the QEA and
QEB signals. For example, if QEA leads QEB, the
position counter is incremented by 1. If QEB lags QEA,
the position counter is decremented by 1.
16.2.3.2
Direction of Count
The QEI control logic generates a signal that sets
the UP/DOWN bit (QEICON<5>); this in turn
determines the direction of the count. When QEA
leads QEB, UP/DOWN is set (= 1), and the position
counter increments on every active edge. When
QEA lags QEB, UP/DOWN is cleared, and the
position counter decrements on every active edge.
TABLE 16-5:
Current

Detected
QEI 4x Update Mode
QEI x4 Update mode provides for a finer resolution of
the rotor position, since the counter increments or
decrements more frequently for each QEA/QEB input
pulse pair than in QEI x2 mode. This mode is selected
by setting the QEI Mode Select bits to 101 or 110. In
QEI x4, the phase measurement is made on the rising
and the falling edges of both QEA and QEB inputs. The
position counter is clocked on every QEA and QEB
edge.

16.2.3.3
The position counter interrupt occurs, and the interrupt
flag (IC2QEIF) is set, based on the following events:
Reset and Update Events
The position counter will continue to increment or decrement until one of the following events takes place.
The type of event and the direction of rotation when it
happens determines if a register reset or update
occurs.
1.
An index pulse is detected on the INDX input
(QEIM2:QEIM0 = 001).
If the encoder is traveling in the forward direction, POSCNT is reset (00h) on the next clock
edge after the index marker, INDX, has been
detected. The position counter resets on the
QEA or QEB edge once the INDX rising edge
has been detected.
If the encoder is traveling in the reverse direction, the value in the MAXCNT register is loaded
into POSCNT on the next quadrature pulse
edge (QEA or QEB) after the falling edge on
INDX has been detected.
2.
A POSTCNT/MAXCNT period match occurs
(QEIM2:QEIM0 = 010).
If the encoder is traveling in the forward direction, POSCNT is reset (00h) on the next clock
edge when POSCNT = MAXCNT. An interrupt
event is triggered on the next TCY after the reset
(see Figure 16-10)
If the encoder is traveling in the reverse
direction and the value of POSCNT reaches
00h, POSCNT is loaded with the contents of
MAXCNT register on the next clock edge. An
interrupt event is triggered on the next TCY after
the load operation (see Figure 16-10).
The value of the position counter is not affected during
QEI mode changes, nor when the QEI is disabled
altogether.
 2003 Microchip Technology Inc.
QEI INTERRUPTS
• A POSCNT/MAXCNT period match event
(QEIM2:QEIM0 = 010 or 110)
• A POSCNT rollover (FFFFh to 0000h) in Period
mode only (QEIM2:QEIM0 = 010 or 110)
• An index pulse detected on INDX.
The interrupt timing diagrams for IC2QEIF are shown in
Figure 16-10 and Figure 16-11.
When the direction has changed, the direction change
Interrupt flag (IC3DRIF) is set on the following TCY
clock (see Figure 16-10).
If the position counter rolls over in Index mode, the
ERROR bit will be set.
16.2.5
QEI SAMPLE TIMING
The quadrature input signals, QEA and QEB, may vary
in quadrature frequency. The minimum quadrature
input period TQEI is 16TCY.
The position count rate, FPOS, is directly proportional to
the rotor’s RPM, line count D and QEI Update mode (x2
vs. x4); that is,
4D ⋅ RPM
F POS = -----------------------60
Note:
The number of incremental lines in the
position encoder is typically set at
D = 1024 and the QEI Update mode = x4.
The maximum position count rate (i.e., 4x QEI
Update mode, D = 1024) with F CY = 10 MIPS is equal
to 2.5 MHz, which corresponds to FQEI of 625 kHz.
Figure 16-9 shows QEA and QEB quadrature inputs
timing when sampled by the noise filter.

Velocity Event Timing
Each velocity pulse serves as a capture pulse. With the
TMR5 in Synchronous Timer mode, the value of TMR5
is captured on every output pulse of the postscaler. The
counter is subsequently reset to ‘0’. TMR5 is reset
upon a capture event.
The event pulses are reduced by a fixed ratio by the
velocity pulse divider. The divider is useful for
high-speed measurements where the velocity events
happen frequently. By producing a single output pulse
for a given number of input event pulses, the counter
can track larger pulse counts (i.e., distance travelled)
for a given time interval. Time is measured by utilizing
the TMR5 time base.

Timing shown is for QEIM<2:0> = 101, 110 or 111 (x4 Update mode enabled) and the velocity postscaler divide ratio
is set to divide by 4 (PDEC<1:0> = 01).
2:
VELR register latches the TMR5 count on the “velcap” capture pulse. Timer5 must be set to the synchronous timer or
Counter mode. In this example, it is set to the Synchronous Timer mode where the TMR5 prescaler divide ratio = 1
(i.e., Timer5 clock = TCY).
3:
The TMR5 counter is reset on the next Q1 clock cycle following the “velcap” pulse. TMR5 value is unaffected when the
Velocity Measurement mode is first enabled (VELM = 0). The velocity postscaler values must be reconfigured to their
previous settings when re-entering Velocity Measurement mode. While making speed measurements of very slow
rotational speeds (e.g., servo-controller applications), the Velocity Measurement mode may not provide sufficient
precision. The Pulse Width Measurement mode may have to be used to provide the additional precision. In this case,
the input pulse is measured on the CAP1 input pin.
4:

Velocity Postscaler
The velocity event pulse (velcap, see Figure 16-12)
serves as the TMR5 capture trigger to IC1 while in the
Velocity mode. The number of velocity events are
reduced by the velocity postscaler before they are used
as the input capture clock. The velocity event reduction
ratio can be set with the PDEC1:PDEC0 control bits
(QEICON<1:0>) to 1:4, 1:16, 1:64 or no reduction (1:1).
CAP1REN in Velocity Mode
The TMR5 value can be reset (TMR5 register pair =
0000h) on a velocity event capture by setting the
CAP1REN bit (CAP1CON<6>). When CAP1REN is
cleared, the TMR5 time base will not be reset on any
velocity event capture pulse. The VELR register pair,
however, will continue to be updated with the current
TMR5 value.
The velocity postscaler settings are automatically
reloaded from their previous values as the Velocity
mode is re-enabled.

Noise Filters
The Motion Feedback module includes three noise
rejection filters on CAP1/INDX, CAP2/QEA and
CAP3/QEB. The filter block also includes a fourth filter
for the T5CKI pin. They are intended to help reduce
spurious noise spikes which may cause the input signals to become corrupted at the inputs. The filter
ensures that the input signals are not permitted to
change until a stable value has been registered for
three consecutive sampling clock cycles.
The filters are controlled using the Digital Filter Control
(DFLTCON) register (see Register 16-3). The filters
can be individually enabled or disabled by setting or
clearing the corresponding FLTxEN bit in the
DFLTCON register. The sampling frequency, which
must be the same for all three noise filters, can be
REGISTER 16-3:
programmed by the FLTCK2:FLTCK0 configuration
bits. TCY is used as the clock reference to the clock
divider block.
The noise filters can either be added or removed from
the input capture or QEI signal path by setting or
clearing the appropriate FLTxEN bit, respectively. Each
capture channel provides for individual enable control
of the filter output. The FLT4EN bit enables or disabled
the noise filter available on TMR5CKI input in the
Timer5 module.
The filter network for all channels is disabled on POR
and BOR resets , as the DFLTCON register is cleared
on resets. The operation of the filter is shown in the
timing diagram in Figure 16-14.

IC and QEI Shared Interrupts
16.5
The IC and QEI sub-modules can each generate three
distinct interrupt signals; however, they share the use
of the same three interrupt flags in register PIR3. The
meaning of a particular interrupt flag at any given time
depends on which module is active at the time the
interrupt is set. The meaning of the flags in context are
summarized in Table 16-7.
When the IC submodule is active, the three flags
(IC1IF, IC2QEIF and IC3DRIF) function as
interrupt-on-capture event flags for their respective
input capture channels. The channel must be
configured for one of the events that will generate an
interrupt (see Section 16.1.7 “IC Interrupts” for more
information).
When the QEI is enabled, the IC1IF interrupt flag
indicates an interrupt caused by a velocity
measurement event, usually an update of the VELR
register. The IC2QEIF interrupt indicates that a position
measurement event has occurred. IC3DRIF indicates
that a direction change has been detected.

Operation in Sleep Mode
3X INPUT CAPTURE IN SLEEP
MODE
Since the input capture can operate only when its time
base is configured in a Synchronous mode, the input
capture will not capture any events. This is because the
device’s internal clock has been stopped, and any
internal timers in synchronous modes will not increment. The prescaler will continue to count the events
(not synchronized).
When the specified capture event occurs, the CAPxIF
interrupt will be set. The Capture Buffer register will be
updated upon wake-up from sleep to the current TMR5
value. If the CAPxIF interrupt is enabled, the device will
wake-up from sleep. This effectively enables all input
capture channels to be used as the external interrupts.

POWER CONTROL PWM
MODULE
The PWM module has the following features:
The Power Control PWM module simplifies the task of
generating multiple, synchronized pulse width
modulated (PWM) outputs for use in the control of
motor controllers and power conversion applications.
In particular, the following power and motion control
applications are supported by the PWM module:
• Three-phase and Single-phase AC Induction
Motors
• Switched Reluctance Motors
• Brushless DC (BLDC) Motors
• Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS)
• Multiple DC Brush Motors
• Up to eight PWM I/O pins with four duty cycle
generators. Pins can be paired to get a complete
half-bridge control.
• Up to 14-bit resolution, depending upon the PWM
period.
• “On-the-fly” PWM frequency changes.
• Edge- and Center-aligned Output modes.
• Single-pulse Generation mode.
• Programmable dead time control between paired
PWMs.
• Interrupt support for asymmetrical updates in
Center-aligned mode.
• Output override for Electrically Commutated
Motor (ECM) operation; for example, BLDC.
• Special Event comparator for scheduling other
peripheral events.
• PWM outputs disable feature sets PWM outputs
to their inactive state when in Debug mode.
The Power Control PWM module supports three PWM
generators and six output channels on PIC18F2X31
devices, and four generators and eight channels on
PIC18F4X31 devices. A simplified block diagram of the
module is shown in Figure 17-1. Figure 17-2 and
Figure 17-3 show how the module hardware is configured for each PWM output pair for the complementary
and independent output modes.
Each functional unit of the PWM module will be
discussed in subsequent sections.

This module contains four duty-cycle generators,
numbered 0 through 3. The module has eight PWM
output pins, numbered 0 through 7. The eight PWM
outputs are grouped into output pairs of even and odd
numbered outputs. In complimentary modes, the even
PWM pins must always be the complement of the
corresponding odd PWM pin. For example, PWM0 will
be the complement of PWM1, PWM2 will be the
complement of PWM3, and so on. The dead time
 2003 Microchip Technology Inc.
generator inserts an “off” period called “dead time”
between the going off of one pin to the going on of the
complementary pin of the paired pins. This is to prevent
damage to the power switching devices that will be
connected to the PWM output pins.
The time base for the PWM module is provided by its
own 12-bit timer, which also incorporates selectable
prescaler and postscaler options.

PWM Time Base
The PWM time base is provided by a 12-bit timer with
prescaler and postscaler functions. A simplified block
diagram of the PWM time base is shown in Figure 17-4.
The PWM time base is configured through the
PTCON0 and PTCON1 registers. The time base is
enabled or disabled by respectively setting or clearing
the PTEN bit in the PTCON1 register.
Note:
All of these register pairs are double-buffered.

The PWM time base can be configured for four different
modes of operation:
•
•
•
•
Free Running mode
Single-shot mode
Continuous Up/Down Count mode
Continuous Up/Down Count mode with interrupts
for double updates
These four modes are selected by the
PTMOD1:PTMOD0 bits in the PTCON0 register. The
Free Running mode produces edge-aligned PWM
generation. The up/down counting modes produce
center-aligned PWM generation. The Single-shot
mode allows the PWM module to support pulse control
of certain electronically commutated motors (ECMs)
and produces edge-aligned operation.

FREE RUNNING MODE
Note:
In the Free Running mode, the PWM time base
(PTMRL and PTMRH) will begin counting upwards until
the value in the Time Base Period Register, PTPER
(PTPERL and PTPERH), is matched. The PTMR registers will be reset on the following input clock edge and

hardware to halt the time base.
17.3.3
CONTINUOUS UP/DOWN
COUNTING MODES
In continuous up/down counting modes, the PWM time
base counts upwards until the value in the PTPER
register matches with PTMR. On the following input
clock edge, the timer counts downwards. The PTDIR
bit in the PTCON1 register is read-only and indicates
the counting direction. The PTDIR bit is set when the
timer counts downwards.

x = bit is unknown
When the PWM timer is enabled in
Up/Down Count mode, during the first half
of the first period of the up/down counting
modes, the PWM outputs are kept
inactive. By doing this, PWM pins will
output garbage duty cycle due to unknown
value in the PTMR registers.
PWM TIME BASE PRESCALER
The input clock to PTMR (FOSC/4) has prescaler
options of 1:1, 1:4, 1:16 or 1:64. These are selected by
control bits PTCKPS<1:0> in the PTCON0 register. The
prescaler counter is cleared when any of the following
occurs:
• Write to the PTMR register
• Write to the PTCON (PTCON0 or PTCON1)
register
• Any device Reset
Note:
The PTMR register is not cleared when
PTCON is written.
Table 17-1 shows the minimum PWM frequencies that
can be generated with the PWM time base and the
prescaler. An operating frequency of 40 MHz
(FCYC = 10 MHz) and PTPER = 0xFFF is assumed in
the table. The PWM module must be capable of generating PWM signals at the line frequency (50 Hz or
60 Hz) for certain power control applications.

PWM Time Base Interrupts
The PWM timer can generate interrupts based on the
modes of operation selected by PTMOD<1:0> bits and
the postscaler bits (PTOPS<3:0>).
17.4.1
INTERRUPTS IN FREE RUNNING
MODE
When the PWM time base is in the Free Running mode
(PTMOD<1:0> = 00), an interrupt event is generated
each time a match with the PTPER register occurs. The
PTMR register is reset to zero in the following clock
edge.
PWM TIME BASE POSTSCALER
Using a postscaler selection other than 1:1 will reduce
the frequency of interrupt events.
The match output of PTMR can optionally be
post-scaled through a 4-bit postscaler (which gives a
1:1 to 1:16 scaling inclusive) to generate an interrupt.
The postscaler counter is cleared when any of the
following occurs:
• Write to the PTMR register
• Write to the PTCON register
• Any device Reset
The PTMR register is not cleared when PTCON is
written.

When the PWM time base is in the Single-shot mode
(PTMOD<1:0> = 01), an interrupt event is generated
when a match with the PTPER register occurs. The
PWM timer register (PTMR) is reset to zero on the
following input clock edge, and the PTEN bit is cleared.
The postscaler selection bits have no effect in this

INTERRUPTS IN DOUBLE UPDATE
MODE
Note:
This mode is available in Up/Down Counting mode. In
the Double Update mode (PTMOD<1:0> = 11), an
interrupt event is generated each time the PTMR
register is equal to zero and each time the PTMR
matches with PTPER register. Figure 17-8 shows the
interrupts in Up/Down Counting mode with double
updates.
Do not change PTMOD while PTEN is
active. It will yield unexpected results. To
change PWM Timer mode of operation,
first clear PTEN bit, load PTMOD with
required data and then set PTEN.
The Double Update mode provides two additional
functions to the user in Center-Aligned mode.
1.
2.
The control loop bandwidth is doubled because
the PWM duty cycles can be updated twice per
period.
Asymmetrical center-aligned PWM waveforms
can be generated, which are useful for
minimizing output waveform distortion in certain
motor control applications.

PWM Period
The PWM period is defined by the PTPER register pair
(PTPERL and PTPERH). The PWM period has 12-bit
resolution by combining 4 LSBs of PTPERH and 8-bits
of PTPERL. PTPER is a double-buffered register used
to set the counting period for the PWM time base.
The maximum resolution (in bits) for a given device
oscillator and PWM frequency can be determined from
the following formula:
EQUATION 17-3:
Fosc/4
log Fpwm
The PTPER buffer contents are loaded into the PTPER
register at the following times:
• Free Running and Single-shot modes: when the
PTMR register is reset to zero after a match with
the PTPER register.
• Up/Down Counting modes: When the PTMR
register is zero. The value held in the PTPER
buffer is automatically loaded into the PTPER
register when the PWM time base is disabled
(PTEN = 0). Figure 17-9 and Figure 17-10
indicate the times when the contents of the
PTPER buffer are loaded into the actual PTPER
register.
PWM RESOLUTION
Resolution =
log(2)
The PWM resolutions and frequencies are shown for a
selection of execution speeds and PTPER values in
Table 17-2. The PWM frequencies in Table 17-2 are
calculated for Edge-aligned PWM mode. For
Center-aligned mode, the PWM frequencies will be
approximately one-half the values indicated in this
table.

17.6
PWM Duty Cycle
The value in each Duty Cycle register determines the
amount of time that the PWM output is in the active
state. The upper 12 bits of PDCn hold the actual duty
cycle value from PTMRH/L<11:0>, while the lower 2
bits control which internal Q-clock the duty cycle match
occurs. This 2-bit value is decoded from the Q-clocks
as shown in Figure 17-11 (when the prescaler is 1:1
(PTCKPS = 00)).
PWM duty cycle is defined by PDCx (PDCxL and
PDCxH) registers. There are a total of 4 PWM Duty
Cycle registers for 4 pairs of PWM channels. The Duty
Cycle registers have 14-bit resolution by combining
6 LSbs of PDCxH with the 8 bits of PDCxL. PDCx is a
double-buffered register used to set the counting
period for the PWM time base.
17.6.1
In Edge-aligned mode, the PWM period starts at Q1
and ends when the Duty Cycle register matches the
PTMR register as follows. The duty cycle match is considered when the upper 12 bits of the PDC is equal to
the PTMR and the lower 2 bits are equal to Q1, Q2, Q3
or Q4, depending on the lower two bits of the PDC
(when the prescaler is 1:1, or PTCKPS = 00).
PWM DUTY CYCLE REGISTERS
There are four 14-bit special function registers used to
specify duty cycle values for the PWM module:
•
•
•
•
PDC0 (PDC0L and PDC0H)
PDC1 (PDC1L and PDC1H)
PDC2 (PDC2L and PDC2H)
PDC3 (PDC3L and PDC3H)
Note:
When prescaler is not 1:1 (PTCKPS ≠
~00), the duty cycle match occurs at Q1
clock of the instruction cycle when the
PTMR and PDC match occurs.
Each compare unit has logic that allows override of the
PWM signals. This logic also ensures that the PWM
signals will complement each other (with dead time
insertion) in Complementary mode (see Section 17.7
“Dead Time Generators”).

17.6.2
DUTY CYCLE REGISTER BUFFERS
The four PWM Duty Cycle registers are
double-buffered to allow glitchless updates of the PWM
outputs. For each duty cycle block, there is a Duty
Cycle Buffer register that is accessible by the user and
a second Duty Cycle register that holds the actual
compare value used in the present PWM period.
In edge-aligned PWM Output mode, a new duty cycle
value will be updated whenever a PTMR match with the
PTPER register occurs and PTMR is reset as shown in
Figure 17-12. Also, the contents of the duty cycle
buffers are automatically loaded into the Duty Cycle
registers when the PWM time base is disabled
(PTEN = 0).
When the PWM time base is in the Up/Down Counting
mode, new duty cycle values will be updated when the
value of the PTMR register is zero and the PWM time
base begins to count upwards. The contents of the duty
cycle buffers are automatically loaded into the Duty
Cycle registers when the PWM time base is disabled
(PTEN = 0). Figure 17-13 shows the timings when the
duty cycle update occur for the Up/Down Count mode.
In this mode, up to one entire PWM period is available
for calculating and loading the new PWM duty cycle
before changes take effect.
When the PWM time base is in the Up/Down Counting
mode with double updates, new duty cycle values will
be updated when the value of the PTMR register is zero
and when the value of the PTMR register matches the
value in the PTPER register. The contents of the duty
cycle buffers are automatically loaded into the Duty
Cycle registers during both of the above said
conditions. Figure 17-14 shows the duty cycle updates
for Up/Down mode with double update. In this mode,
only up to half of a PWM period is available for
calculating and loading the new PWM duty cycle before
changes take effect.
FIGURE 17-13:
17.6.3
EDGE-ALIGNED PWM
Edge-aligned PWM signals are produced by the
module when the PWM time base is in the Free
Running mode or the Single-shot mode. For
edge-aligned PWM outputs, the output for a given
PWM channel has a period specified by the value
loaded in PTPER and a duty cycle specified by the
appropriate Duty Cycle register (see Figure 17-12).
The PWM output is driven active at the beginning of the
period (PTMR = 0) and is driven inactive when the
value in the Duty Cycle register matches PTMR. A new
cycle is started when PTMR matches the PTPER as
explained in the PWM period section.
If the value in a particular Duty Cycle register is zero,
then the output on the corresponding PWM pin will be
inactive for the entire PWM period. In addition, the output on the PWM pin will be active for the entire PWM
period if the value in the Duty Cycle register is greater
than the value held in the PTPER register.

CENTER-ALIGNED PWM
Center-aligned PWM signals are produced by the
module when the PWM time base is configured in an
Up/Down Counting mode (see Figure 17-15). The
PWM compare output is driven to the active state when
the value of the Duty Cycle register matches the value
of PTMR and the PWM time base is counting
downwards (PTDIR = 1). The PWM compare output
will be driven to the inactive state when the PWM time
base is counting upwards (PTDIR = 0) and the value in
the PTMR register matches the duty cycle value. If the
value in a particular Duty Cycle register is zero, then
the output on the corresponding PWM pin will be
FIGURE 17-15:
inactive for the entire PWM period. In addition, the
output on the PWM pin will be active for the entire PWM
period if the value in the Duty Cycle register is equal to
or greater than the value in the PTPER register.
Note:
When the PWM
is
started in
Center-aligned mode, the period register
(PTPER) is loaded into the PWM Timer
register (PTMR) and the PTMR is
configured
automatically
to
start
down-counting. This is done to ensure that
all the PWM signals don’t start at the same
time.

The Complementary mode of PWM operation is useful
to drive one or more power switches in half-bridge
configuration as shown in Figure 17-16. This inverter
topology is typical for a 3-phase induction motor,
brushless DC motor or a 3-phase Uninterruptible
Power Supply (UPS) control applications. Each
upper/lower power switch pair is fed by a
complementary PWM signal. Dead time may be
optionally inserted during device switching where both
outputs are inactive for a short period (see
Section 17.7 “Dead Time Generators”). In
Complementary mode, the duty cycle comparison units
are assigned to the PWM outputs as follows:
PWM1
COMPLEMENTARY PWM
OPERATION
PWM0

The Complementary mode is selected for each PWM
I/O pin pair by clearing the appropriate PMODx bit in
the PWMCON0 register. The PWM I/O pins are set to
Complementary mode by default upon all kinds of
device resets.

Dead Time Generators
In power inverter applications where the PWMs are
used in Complementary mode to control the upper and
lower switches of a half-bridge, a dead time insertion is
highly recommended. The dead time insertion keeps
both outputs in inactive state for a brief time. This
avoids any overlap in the switching during the state
change of the power devices due to TON and TOFF
characteristics.
Because the power output devices cannot switch
instantaneously, some amount of time must be provided between the turn-off event of one PWM output in
a complementary pair and the turn-on event of the
other transistor. The PWM module allows dead time to
be programmed. Following sections explain the dead
time block in detail.
FIGURE 17-17:
Each complementary output pair for the PWM module
has a 6-bit down counter used to produce the dead
time insertion. As shown in Figure 17-17, each dead
time unit has a rising and falling edge detector connected to the duty cycle comparison output. The dead
time is loaded into the timer on the detected PWM edge
event. Depending on whether the edge is rising or falling, one of the transitions on the complementary outputs is delayed until the timer counts down to zero. A
timing diagram indicating the dead time insertion for
one pair of PWM outputs is shown in Figure 17-18.

DEAD TIME RANGES
The amount of dead time provided by the dead time
unit is selected by specifying the input clock prescaler
value and a 6-bit unsigned value defined in the DTCON
register. Four input clock prescaler selections have
been provided to allow a suitable range of dead times
based on the device operating frequency. FOSC/2,
FOSC/4, FOSC/8 and FOSC/16 are the clock prescaler
options available using the DTPS1:DTPS0 control bits
in the DTCON register.
4.
After selecting an appropriate prescaler value, the
dead time is adjusted by loading a 6-bit unsigned value
into DTCON<5:0>. The dead time unit prescaler is
cleared on any of the following events:
• On a load of the down timer due to a duty cycle
comparison edge event;
• On a write to the DTCON register; or
• On any device Reset.
17.7.3
2.
The dead time counter is clocked using every
other Q-clock depending on the two LSbs in the
Duty Cycle registers:
• If the PWM duty cycle match occurs on Q1 or
Q3, then the dead time counter is clocked
using every Q1 and Q3.
• If the PWM duty cycles match occurs on Q2
or Q4, then the dead time counter is clocked
using every Q2 and Q4.
When the DTPS1:DTPS0 bits are set to any of
the other dead time prescaler settings, (i.e.,
FOSC/4, FOSC/8 or FOSC/16) and the PWM Time
Base Prescaler is set to 1:1, the dead time
counter is clocked by the Q-clock corresponding
to the Q-clocks on which the PWM duty cycle
match occurs.
The actual dead time is calculated from the DTCON
register as follows:
Dead Time = Dead time value / (FOSC/prescaler)
DECREMENTING THE DEAD TIME
COUNTER
The dead time counter is clocked from any of the Q
clocks based on the following conditions.
1.
x = bit is unknown
Table 17-3 shows example dead time ranges as a
function of the input clock prescaler selected and the
device operating frequency.
The dead time counter is clocked on Q1 when:
• The DTPS bits are set to any of the following
dead time prescaler settings: Fosc/4, FOSC/8,
FOSC/16
• The PWM Time Base Prescale bits
(PTCKPS) are set to any of the following
prescale ratios: FOSC/16, FOSC/64,
FOSC/256.
The dead time counter is clocked by a pair of
Q-clocks when the PWM Time Base Prescale
bits are set to 1:1 (PTCKPS1:PTCKPS0 = 00,
FOSC/4) and the dead time counter is clocked by
the FOSC/2 (DTPS1:DTPS0 = 00).

DEAD TIME DISTORTION
Note 1: For small PWM duty cycles, the ratio of
dead time to the active PWM time may
become large. In this case, the inserted
dead time will introduce distortion into
waveforms produced by the PWM module. The user can ensure that dead time
distortion is minimized by keeping the
PWM duty cycle at least three times
larger than the dead time. A similar effect
occurs for duty cycles at or near 100%.
The maximum duty cycle used in the
application should be chosen such that
the minimum inactive time of the signal is
at least three times larger than the dead
time. If the dead time is greater or equal
to the duty cycle of one of the PWM outputs pairs, then that PWM pair will be
inactive for the whole period.
2: Changing the dead time values in
DTCON when the PWM is enabled may
result in undesired situation. Disable the
PWM (PTEN = 0) before changing the
dead time value
17.8
Independent PWM Output
Independent PWM mode is used for driving the loads
as shown in Figure 17-19 for driving one winding of a
switched reluctance motor. A particular PWM output
pair is configured in the Independent Output mode
when the corresponding PMOD bit in the PWMCON0
register is set. No dead time control is implemented
between the PWM I/O pins when the module is operating in the Independent mode and both I/O pins are
allowed to be active simultaneously. This mode can
also be used to drive stepper motors.
17.8.1
DUTY CYCLE ASSIGNMENT IN THE
INDEPENDENT MODE
In the Independent mode, each duty cycle generator is
connected to both PWM output pins in a given PWM
output pair. The odd and the even PWM output pins are
driven with a single PWM duty cycle generator. PWM1
and PWM0 are driven by the PWM channel which uses
PDC0 register to set the duty cycle, PWM3 and PWM2
with PDC1, PWM5 and PWM4 with PDC2, PWM7 and
PWM6 with PDC3, see Figure 17-3 and Register 17-3.

17.8.2
PWM CHANNEL OVERRIDE
PWM output may be manually overridden for each
PWM channel by using the appropriate bits in the
OVDCOND and OVDCONS registers. The user may
select the following signal output options for each PWM
output pin operating in the Independent mode:
• I/O pin outputs PWM signal
• I/O pin inactive
• I/O pin active
Refer to Section 17.10 “PWM Output Override” for
details for all the override functions.
FIGURE 17-19:
CENTER-CONNECTED
LOAD
+V
PWM1
OVDCOND and OVDCONS registers are used to
define the PWM override options. The OVDCOND
register contains eight bits, POVD7:POVD0, that
determine which PWM I/O pins will be overridden. The
OVDCONS
register
contains
eight
bits,
POUT7:POUT0, that determine the state of the PWM
I/O pins when a particular output is overridden via the
POVD bits.
The POVD bits are active-low control bits. When the
POVD bits are set, the corresponding POUT bit will
have no effect on the PWM output. In other words, the
pins corresponding to POVD bits that are set will have
the duty PWM cycle set by the PDC registers. When
one of the POVD bits is cleared, the output on the corresponding PWM I/O pin will be determined by the
state of the POUT bit. When a POUT bit is set, the
PWM pin will be driven to its active state. When the
POUT bit is cleared, the PWM pin will be driven to its
inactive state.

Single-Pulse PWM Operation
The single pulse PWM operation is available only in
Edge-aligned mode. In this mode, the PWM module will
produce single pulse output. Single-pulse operation is
configured when the PTMOD1:PTMOD0 bits are set to
‘01’ in PTCON0 register. This mode of operation is useful for driving certain types of ECMs.
In Single-pulse mode, the PWM I/O pin(s) are driven to
the active state when the PTEN bit is set. When the
PWM timer match with Duty Cycle register occurs, the
PWM I/O pin is driven to the inactive state. When the
PWM timer match with the PTPER register occurs, the
PTMR register is cleared, all active PWM I/O pins are
driven to the inactive state, the PTEN bit is cleared, and
an interrupt is generated, if the corresponding interrupt
bit is set.
Note:
PTPER and PDC values are held as it is
after the single pulse output. To have
another cycle of single pulse, only PTEN
has to be enabled.
17.10 PWM Output Override
17.10.2
OVERRIDE SYNCHRONIZATION
If the OSYNC bit in the PWMCON1 register is set, all
output overrides performed via the OVDCOND and
OVDCONS registers will be synchronized to the PWM
time base. Synchronous output overrides will occur on
following conditions:
• When the PWM is in Edge-aligned mode, synchronization occurs when PTMR is zero.
• When the PWM is in Center-aligned mode,
synchronization occurs when PTMR is zero and
when the value of PTMR matches PTPER.
Note 1: In the Complementary mode, the even
channel cannot be forced active by a fault
or override event when the odd channel is
active. The even channel is always the
complement of the odd channel with dead
time inserted, before the odd channel can
be driven to its active state as shown in
Figure 17-20.
The PWM output override bits allow the user to manually drive the PWM I/O pins to specified logic states
independent of the duty cycle comparison units. The
PWM override bits are useful when controlling various
types of ECMs like a BLDC motor.
DS39616B-page 202
COMPLEMENTARY OUTPUT MODE
The even-numbered PWM I/O pin has override restrictions when a pair of PWM I/O pins are operating in the
Complementary mode (PMODx = 0). In Complementary mode, if the even-numbered pin is driven active by
clearing the corresponding POVD bit and by setting
POUT bits in OVDCOND and OVDCONS registers, the
output signal is forced to be the complement of the
odd-numbered I/O pin in the pair (see Figure 17-2 for
details).

OUTPUT OVERRIDE EXAMPLES
Figure 17-21 shows an example of a waveform that
might be generated using the PWM output override
feature. The figure shows a six-step commutation
sequence for a BLDC motor. The motor is driven
through a 3-phase inverter as shown in Figure 17-16.
When the appropriate rotor position is detected, the
PWM outputs are switched to the next commutation
state in the sequence. In this example, the PWM outputs are driven to specific logic states. The OVDCOND
and OVDCONS register values used to generate the
signals in Figure 17-21 are given in Table 17-4.

17.11 PWM Output and Polarity Control
17.11.1
OUTPUT PIN CONTROL
There are three device configuration bits associated
with the PWM module that provide PWM output pin
control defined in CONFIG3L configuration register.
The PWMEN2:PWMEN0 control bits enable each
PWM output pin as required in the application.
All PWM I/O pins are general purpose I/O. When a pair
of pins are enabled for PWM output, the PORT and
TRIS registers controlling the pin are disabled. Refer to
Figure 17-23 for details.
• HPOL configuration bit
• LPOL configuration bit
• PWMPIN configuration bit
These three configuration bits work in conjunction with
the three PWM enable bits (PWMEN2:PWMEN0) in the
PWMCON0 register. The configuration bits and PWM
enable bits ensure that the PWM pins are in the correct
states after a device Reset occurs.

OUTPUT POLARITY CONTROL
The polarity of the PWM I/O pins is set during device
programming via the HPOL and LPOL configuration
bits in the CONFIG3L device configuration register.
The HPOL configuration bit sets the output polarity for
the high-side PWM outputs, PWM1, PWM3, PWM5
and PWM7. The polarity is active-high when HPOL is
cleared (= 0), and active-low when it is set (= 1).
The LPOL configuration bit sets the output polarity for
the low-side PWM outputs, PWM0, PWM2, PWM4 and
PWM6. As with HPOL, they are active-high when LPOL
is cleared, and active-low when set.
All output signals generated by the PWM module are
referenced to the polarity control bits, including those
generated by fault inputs or manual override (see
Section 17.10 “PWM Output Override”).
The default polarity configuration bits have the PWM
I/O pins in active-high output polarity.

17.11.3
PWM OUTPUT PIN RESET STATES
The PWMPIN configuration bit determines the PWM
output pins to be PWM output pins or digital I/O pins,
after the device comes out of reset. If the PWMPIN configuration bit is unprogrammed (default), the
PWMEN2:PWMEN0 control bits will be cleared on a
device Reset. Consequently, all PWM outputs will be
tri-stated and controlled by the corresponding PORT
and TRIS registers. If the PWMPIN configuration bit is
programmed low, the PWMEN2:PWMEN0 control bits
will be set as follows on a device Reset:
• PWMEN2:PWMEN0 = 101 if device has 8 PWM
pins (PIC18F4X31 devices)
• PWMEN2:PWMEN0 = 100 if device has 6 PWM
pins (PIC18F2X31 devices)
All PWM pins will be enabled for PWM output and will
have the output polarity defined by the HPOL and
LPOL configuration bits.
17.12.2
MFAULT INPUT MODES
The FLTAMOD and FLTBMOD bits in the FLTCONFIG
register determine the modes of PWM I/O pins that are
deactivated when they are overridden by fault input.
FLTAS and FLTBS bits in the FLTCONFIG register give
the status of FaultA and FaultB inputs.
Each of the fault inputs have two modes of operation:
• Inactive Mode (FLTxMOD = 0)
This is a catastrophic Fault Management mode.
When the fault occurs in this mode, the PWM outputs are deactivated. The PWM pins will remain in
Inactivated mode until the fault is cleared (fault
input is driven high) and the corresponding fault
status bit has been cleared in software. The PWM
outputs are enabled immediately at the beginning
of the following PWM period, after Fault Status bit
(FLTxS) is cleared.
• Cycle-by-Cycle Mode (FLTxMOD = 1)
17.12 PWM Fault Inputs
There are two fault inputs associated with the PWM
module. The main purpose of the input fault pins is to
disable the PWM output signals and drive them into an
inactive state. The action of the fault inputs is
performed directly in hardware so that when a fault
occurs, it can be managed quickly and the PWMs
outputs are put into an inactive state to save the power
devices connected to the PWMs.
When the fault occurs in this mode, the PWM outputs are deactivated. The PWM outputs will
remain in the defined fault states (all PWM outputs
inactive) for as long as the fault pin is held low.
After the fault pin is driven high, the PWM outputs
will return to normal operation at the beginning of
the following PWM period, and the FLTS bit is
automatically cleared.
The PWM fault inputs are FLTA and FLTB, which can
come from I/O pins, the CPU or another module. The
FLTA and FLTB pins are active-low inputs so it is easy
to “OR” many sources to the same input.
The FLTCONFIG register (Register 17-8) defines the
settings of FLTA and FLTB inputs.
Note:
17.12.1
The inactive state of the PWM pins are
dependent on the HPOL and LPOL configuration bit settings, which defines the
active and inactive state for PWM outputs.
FAULT PIN ENABLE BITS
By setting the bits FLTAEN and FLTBEN in the
FLTCONFIG register, the corresponding fault inputs
are enabled. If both bits are cleared, then the fault
inputs have no effect on the PWM module.

17.12.3
PWM OUTPUTS WHILE IN FAULT
CONDITION
Note:
While in the fault state (i.e., one or both FLTA and FLTB
inputs are active), the PWM output signals are driven
into their inactive states. The selection of which PWM
outputs are deactivated (while in the fault state) is
determined by the FLTCON bit in the FLTCONFIG
register as follows:
It is highly recommended to enable the
fault condition on breakpoint if a debugging tool is used, while developing the
firmware and the high-power circuitry is
used. When the device is ready to program after debugging the firmware,
BRFEN bit can be disabled.
• FLTCON = 1. When FLTA or FLTB is asserted,
the PWM outputs (i.e., PWM[7:0]) are driven into
their inactive state
• FLTCON = 0. When FLTA or FLTB is asserted,
only PWM[5:0] outputs are driven inactive, leaving
PWM[7:6] activated.
Note:
17.12.4
Disabling only three PWM channels and
leaving one PWM channel enabled when
in the fault state, allows the flexibility to
have at least one PWM channel enabled.
None of the PWM outputs can be enabled
(driven with the PWM Duty Cycle registers) while FLTCON = 1 and the fault condition is present.
PWM OUTPUTS IN DEBUG MODE
The BRFEN bit in the FLTCONFIG register controls the
simulation of fault condition when a breakpoint is hit,
while debugging the application using a In-Circuit
Emulator (ICE) or a In-Circuit Debugger (ICD). Setting
the BRFEN to high, enables the fault condition on
breakpoint, thus driving the PWM outputs to inactive
state. This is done to avoid any continuous keeping of
status on the PWM pin, which may result in damage of
the power devices connected to the PWM outputs.
If BRFEN = 0, the fault condition on breakpoint is
disabled.

write up to four Duty Cycle registers and the Time Base
Period Register, PTPER, at a given time. In some
applications, it is important that all buffer registers be
written before the new duty cycle and period values are
loaded for use by the module.
The PWM module will always produce special event
trigger pulses. This signal may optionally be used by
the A/D module. Refer to Chapter 20.0 "10-bit
High-Speed Analog-to-Digital Converter (A/D)
Module" for details.
A PWM update lockout feature may optionally be
enabled so the user may specify when new duty cycle
buffer values are valid. The PWM update lockout
feature is enabled by setting the control bit UDIS in the
PWMCON1 register. This bit affects all Duty Cycle
Buffer registers and the PWM time base period buffer,
PTPER.
To perform a PWM update lockout:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Set the UDIS bit.
Write all Duty Cycle registers and PTPER, if
applicable.
Clear the UDIS bit to re-enable updates.
With this, when UDIS bit is cleared, the buffer
values will be loaded to the actual registers. This
makes a synchronous loading of the registers.
17.14.2
SPECIAL EVENT TRIGGER ENABLE
SPECIAL EVENT TRIGGER
POSTSCALER
The PWM special event trigger has a postscaler that
allows a 1:1 to 1:16 postscale ratio. The postscaler is
configured by writing the SEVOPS3:SEVOPS0 control
bits in the PWMCON1 register.
The special event output postscaler is cleared on any
write to the SEVTCMP register pair, or on any device
Reset.
17.14 PWM Special Event Trigger
The PWM module has a special event trigger capability
that allows A/D conversions to be synchronized to the
PWM time base. The A/D sampling and conversion
time may be programmed to occur at any point within
the PWM period. The special event trigger allows the
user to minimize the delay between the time when A/D
conversion results are acquired and the time when the
duty cycle value is updated.
The PWM 16-bit Special Event Trigger register
SEVTCMP (high and low), and five control bits in
PWMCON1 register are used to control its operation.
The PTMR value for which a special event trigger
should occur is loaded into the SEVTCMP register pair.
SEVTDIR bit in PWMCON1 register specifies the
counting phase when the PWM time base is in an
Up/Down Counting mode.
If the SEVTDIR bit is cleared, the special event trigger
will occur on the upward counting cycle of the PWM
time base. If SEVTDIR is set, the special event trigger
will occur on the downward count cycle of the PWM
time base. The SEVTDIR bit has effect only when PWM
timer is in the Up/Down Counting mode.

SYNCHRONOUS SERIAL PORT
(SSP) MODULE
SSP Module Overview
The Synchronous Serial Port (SSP) module is a serial
interface useful for communicating with other peripheral or microcontroller devices. These peripheral
devices may be Serial EEPROMs, shift registers, display drivers, A/D converters, etc. The SSP module can
operate in one of two modes:
• Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI™)
• Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C™)
An overview of I2C operations and additional information on the SSP module can be found in the PICmicro®
Mid-Range
MCU
Family
Reference Manual
(DS33023).
Refer to Application Note AN578, “Use of the SSP
module in the I 2C™ Multi-Master Environment”
(DS00578).
18.2
SPI Mode
This section contains register definitions and operational characteristics of the SPI module. Additional
information on the SPI module can be found in the
PICmicro® Mid-Range MCU Family Reference Manual
(DS33023A).
SPI mode allows 8 bits of data to be synchronously
transmitted and received simultaneously. To accomplish communication, typically three pins are used:
• Serial Data Out (SDO) – RC7/RX/DT/SDO
• Serial Data In (SDI) – RC4/INT1/SDI/SDA
• Serial Clock (SCK) – RC5/INT2/SCK/SCL
Additionally, a fourth pin may be used when in a Slave
mode of operation:
• Slave Select (SS) – RC6/TX/CK/SS
When initializing the SPI, several options need to be
specified. This is done by programming the appropriate
control bits in the SSPCON register (SSPCON<5:0>)
and SSPSTAT<7:6>. These control bits allow the
following to be specified:
•
•
•
•
Master mode (SCK is the clock output)
Slave mode (SCK is the clock input)
Clock polarity (Idle state of SCK)
Clock edge (output data on rising/falling edge of
SCK)
• Clock rate (Master mode only)
• Slave Select mode (Slave mode only)

To enable the serial port, SSP enable bit SSPEN
(SSPCON<5>) must be set. To reset or reconfigure SPI
mode, clear bit SSPEN, reinitialize the SSPCON
register, and then set bit SSPEN. This configures the
SDI, SDO, SCK, and SS pins as serial port pins. For the

SSP I2 C Operation
The SSP module in I2C mode, fully implements all slave
functions, except general call support, and provides
interrupts on Start and Stop bits in hardware to facilitate
firmware implementations of the master functions. The
SSP module implements the standard mode
specifications, as well as 7-bit and 10-bit addressing.
Two pins are used for data transfer. These are the SCK/
SCL pin, which is the clock (SCL), and the SDI/SDA
pin, which is the data (SDA). The user must configure
these pins as inputs or outputs through the
TRISC<5:4> or TRISD<3:2> bits.
The SSP module functions are enabled by setting SSP
enable bit SSPEN (SSPCON<5>).

Selection of any I 2C mode with the SSPEN bit set,
forces the SCL and SDA pins to be open-drain,
provided these pins are programmed to inputs by
setting the appropriate TRISC or TRISD bits. Pull-up

SSPBUF reg
SCK/SCL(1)
The SSPCON register allows control of the I 2C operation. Four mode selection bits (SSPCON<3:0>) allow
one of the following I 2C modes to be selected:
The buffer full bit BF (SSPSTAT<0>) was set
before the transfer was received.
The overflow bit SSPOV (SSPCON<6>) was set
before the transfer was received.
In this case, the SSPSR register value is not loaded
into the SSPBUF, but bit SSPIF (PIR1<3>) is set.
Table 18-2 shows what happens when a data transfer
byte is received, given the status of bits BF and
SSPOV. The shaded cells show the condition where
user software did not properly clear the overflow
condition. Flag bit BF is cleared by reading the
SSPBUF register, while bit SSPOV is cleared through
software.
The SCL clock input must have a minimum high and
low for proper operation. The high and low times of the
I2C specification, as well as the requirements of the
SSP module, are shown in timing parameter #100 and
parameter #101.

18.3.1.1
Addressing
Once the SSP module has been enabled, it waits for a
Start condition to occur. Following the Start condition,
the 8-bits are shifted into the SSPSR register. All
incoming bits are sampled with the rising edge of the
clock (SCL) line. The value of register SSPSR<7:1> is
compared to the value of the SSPADD register. The
address is compared on the falling edge of the eighth
clock (SCL) pulse. If the addresses match, and the BF
and SSPOV bits are clear, the following events occur:
a)
b)
c)
d)
The SSPSR register value is loaded into the
SSPBUF register.
The buffer full bit, BF is set.
An ACK pulse is generated.
SSP interrupt flag bit, SSPIF (PIR1<3>), is set
(interrupt is generated if enabled) on the falling
edge of the ninth SCL pulse.
In 10-bit Address mode, two address bytes need to be
received by the slave (Figure 18-7). The five Most
Significant bits (MSbs) of the first address byte specify
if this is a 10-bit address. Bit R/W (SSPSTAT<2>) must
specify a write so the slave device will receive the
second address byte. For a 10-bit address, the first
byte would equal ‘1111 0 A9 A8 0’, where A9 and
A8 are the two MSbs of the address.

Reception
When the R/W bit of the address byte is clear and an
address match occurs, the R/W bit of the SSPSTAT
register is cleared. The received address is loaded into
the SSPBUF register.
When the address byte overflow condition exists, then
no Acknowledge (ACK) pulse is given. An overflow
condition is defined as either bit BF (SSPSTAT<0>) is
set, or bit SSPOV (SSPCON<6>) is set. This is an error
condition due to the user’s firmware.
An SSP interrupt is generated for each data transfer
byte. Flag bit, SSPIF (PIR1<3>), must be cleared in
software. The SSPSTAT register is used to determine
the status of the byte.

Transmission
An SSP interrupt is generated for each data transfer
byte. Flag bit SSPIF must be cleared in software, and
the SSPSTAT register is used to determine the status
of the byte. Flag bit SSPIF is set on the falling edge of
the ninth clock pulse.
When the R/W bit of the incoming address byte is set
and an address match occurs, the R/W bit of the
SSPSTAT register is set. The received address is
loaded into the SSPBUF register. The ACK pulse will
be sent on the ninth bit, and pin SCK/SCL is held low.
The transmit data must be loaded into the SSPBUF
register, which also loads the SSPSR register. Then,
pin SCK/SCL should be enabled by setting bit CKP
(SSPCON<4>). The master must monitor the SCL pin
prior to asserting another clock pulse. The slave
devices may be holding off the master by stretching the
clock. The eight data bits are shifted out on the falling
edge of the SCL input. This ensures that the SDA signal
is valid during the SCL high time (Figure 18-7).

As a slave-transmitter, the ACK pulse from the masterreceiver is latched on the rising edge of the ninth SCL
input pulse. If the SDA line was high (not ACK), then
the data transfer is complete. When the ACK is latched
by the slave, the slave logic is reset (resets SSPSTAT
register) and the slave then monitors for another
occurrence of the Start bit. If the SDA line was low
(ACK), the transmit data must be loaded into the
SSPBUF register, which also loads the SSPSR
register. Then pin SCK/SCL should be enabled by
setting bit CKP.

18.3.2
MASTER MODE
18.3.3
Master mode of operation is supported in firmware
using interrupt generation on the detection of the Start
and Stop conditions. The Stop (P) and Start (S) bits are
cleared from a Reset or when the SSP module is
disabled. The Stop (P) and Start (S) bits will toggle
based on the Start and Stop conditions. Control of the
I 2C bus may be taken when the P bit is set, or the bus
is Idle and both the S and P bits are clear.
In Master mode, the SCL and SDA lines are manipulated by clearing the corresponding TRISC<5:4> or
TRISD<3:2> bits. The output level is always low, irrespective of the value(s) in PORTC<5:4> or
PORTD<3:2>. So when transmitting data, a '1' data bit
must have the TRISC<4> bit set (input) and a '0' data
bit must have the TRISC<4> bit cleared (output). The
same scenario is true for the SCL line with the
TRISC<4> or TRISD<2> bit. Pull-up resistors must be
provided externally to the SCL and SDA pins for proper
operation of the I2C module.
The following events will cause SSP interrupt flag bit,
SSPIF, to be set (SSP Interrupt will occur if enabled):
• Start condition
• Stop condition
• Data transfer byte transmitted/received
Master mode of operation can be done with either the
Slave mode Idle (SSPM3:SSPM0 = 1011), or with the
Slave active. When both Master and Slave modes are
enabled, the software needs to differentiate the
source(s) of the interrupt.
TABLE 18-3:
MULTI-MASTER MODE
In Multi-Master mode, the interrupt generation on the
detection of the Start and Stop conditions, allows the
determination of when the bus is free. The Stop (P) and
Start (S) bits are cleared from a Reset or when the SSP
module is disabled. The Stop (P) and Start (S) bits will
toggle based on the Start and Stop conditions. Control
of the I 2C bus may be taken when bit P (SSPSTAT<4>)
is set, or the bus is Idle and both the S and P bits clear.
When the bus is busy, enabling the SSP interrupt will
generate the interrupt when the Stop condition occurs.
In Multi-Master operation, the SDA line must be monitored to see if the signal level is the expected output
level. This check only needs to be done when a high
level is output. If a high level is expected and a low level
is present, the device needs to release the SDA and
SCL lines (set TRISC<5:4> or TRISD<3:2> ). There are
two stages where this arbitration can be lost, these are:
• Address Transfer
• Data Transfer
When the slave logic is enabled, the slave continues to
receive. If arbitration was lost during the address transfer stage, communication to the device may be in
progress. If addressed, an ACK pulse will be generated. If arbitration was lost during the data transfer
stage, the device will need to retransfer the data at a
later time.

ENHANCED UNIVERSAL
SYNCHRONOUS
ASYNCHRONOUS RECEIVER
TRANSMITTER (EUSART)
The Universal Synchronous Asynchronous Receiver
Transmitter (EUSART) module is one of the two serial
I/O modules available in the PIC18F2331/2431/4331/
4431 family of microcontrollers. EUSART is also known
as a Serial Communications Interface or SCI.
The EUSART can be configured as a full-duplex
asynchronous system that can communicate with
peripheral devices, such as CRT terminals and
personal computers. It can also be configured as a halfduplex synchronous system that can communicate
with peripheral devices, such as A/D or D/A integrated
circuits, serial EEPROMs, etc.
The EUSART module implements additional features,
including automatic baud rate detection and
calibration, automatic wake-up on sync break reception
and 12-bit break character transmit. These make it
ideally suited for use in Local Interconnect Network
(LIN) bus systems.
The USART can be configured in the following modes:
• Asynchronous (full-duplex) with:
- Auto-Wake-up on character reception
- Auto-Baud calibration
- 12-bit break character transmission
• Synchronous – Master (half-duplex) with
selectable clock polarity
• Synchronous – Slave (half-duplex) with selectable
clock polarity
19.1
Asynchronous Operation in
Power-Managed Modes
The USART may operate in Asynchronous mode, while
the peripheral clocks are being provided by the internal
oscillator block. This makes it possible to remove the
crystal or resonator that is commonly connected as the
primary clock on the OSC1 and OSC2 pins.
The factory calibrates the internal oscillator block output (INTOSC) for 8 MHz (see Table 25-6). However,
this frequency may drift as VDD or temperature
changes, and this directly affects the asynchronous
baud rate. Two methods may be used to adjust the
baud rate clock, but both require a reference clock
source of some kind.
The first (preferred) method uses the OSCTUNE
register to adjust the INTOSC output back to 8 MHz.
Adjusting the value in the OSCTUNE register allows for
fine resolution changes to the system clock source (see
Section 3.6 “INTOSC Frequency Drift” for more
information).
The other method adjusts the value in the baud rate
generator. There may not be fine enough resolution
when adjusting the Baud Rate Generator to compensate for a gradual change in the peripheral clock
frequency.
In order to configure pins RC6/TX/CK/SS and RC7/RX/
DT/SDO as the Universal Synchronous Asynchronous
Receiver Transmitter:
• SPEN (RCSTA<7>) bit must be set ( = 1),
• TRISC<6> bit must be set ( = 1), and
• TRISC<1> bit must be set ( = 1).
Note:
The USART control will automatically
reconfigure the pin from input to output as
needed.
The operation of the enhanced USART module is
controlled through three registers:
• Transmit Status and Control (TXSTA)
• Receive Status and Control (RCSTA)
• Baud Rate Control (BAUDCTL)
These are detailed in on the following pages in
Register 19-1, Register 19-2 and Register 19-3,
respectively.

19.2.1
USART Baud Rate Generator
(BRG)
The BRG is a dedicated 8-bit or 16-bit generator, that
supports both the Asynchronous and Synchronous
modes of the USART. By default, the BRG operates in
8-bit mode; setting the BRG16 bit (BAUDCTL<3>)
selects 16-bit mode.
The SPBRGH:SPBRG register pair controls the period
of a free running timer. In Asynchronous mode, bits
BRGH (TXSTA<2>) and BRG16 also control the baud
rate. In Synchronous mode, bit BRGH is ignored.
Table 19-1 shows the formula for computation of the
baud rate for different USART modes, which only apply
in Master mode (internally generated clock).
Given the desired baud rate and FOSC, the nearest
integer value for the SPBRGH:SPBRG registers can be
calculated using the formulas in Table 19-1. From this,
the error in baud rate can be determined. An example
calculation is shown in Example 19-1. Typical baud
rates and error values for the various asynchronous
modes are shown in Table 19-2. It may be advantageous to use the high baud rate (BRGH = 1), or the 16bit BRG to reduce the baud rate error, or achieve a slow
baud rate for a fast oscillator frequency.
POWER-MANAGED MODE
OPERATION
The system clock is used to generate the desired baud
rate; however, when a power-managed mode is
entered, the clock source may be operating at a
different frequency than in PRI_RUN mode. In Sleep
mode, no clocks are present and in PRI_IDLE, the
primary clock source continues to provide clocks to the
baud rate generator; however, in other powermanaged modes, the clock frequency will probably
change. This may require the value in SPBRG to be
adjusted.
If the system clock is changed during an active receive
operation, a receive error or data loss may result. To
avoid this problem, check the status of the RCIDL bit
and make sure that the receive operation is Idle before
changing the system clock.
19.2.2
SAMPLING
The data on the RC7/RX/DT/SDO pin is sampled three
times by a majority detect circuit to determine if a high
or a low level is present at the RX pin.
Writing a new value to the SPBRGH:SPBRG registers
causes the BRG timer to be reset (or cleared). This
ensures the BRG does not wait for a timer overflow
before outputting the new baud rate.

EXAMPLE 19-1:
CALCULATING BAUD RATE ERROR
For a device with FOSC of 16 MHz, desired baud rate of 9600, Asynchronous mode, 8-bit BRG:
Desired Baud Rate= FOSC / (64 ([SPBRGH:SPBRG] + 1))
Solving for SPBRGH:SPBRG:
X = ((Fosc / Desired Baud Rate)/64) – 1
= ((16000000 / 9600) / 64) – 1
= [25.042] = 25
Calculated Baud Rate=16000000 / (64 (25 + 1))
= 9615
Error = (Calculated Baud Rate – Desired Baud Rate) / Desired Baud Rate
= (9615 – 9600) / 9600 = 0.16%

AUTO-BAUD RATE DETECT
The enhanced USART module supports the automatic
detection and calibration of baud rate. This feature is
active only in Asynchronous mode and while the WUE
bit is clear.
The automatic baud rate measurement sequence
(Figure 19-1) begins whenever a Start bit is received
and the ABDEN bit is set. The calculation is selfaveraging.
carry occurred for 8-bit modes, by checking for 00h in
the SPBRGH register. Refer to Table 19-4 for counter
clock rates to the BRG.
While the ABD sequence takes place, the USART state
machine is held in Idle. The RCIF interrupt is set once
the fifth rising edge on RX is detected. The value in the
RCREG needs to be read to clear the RCIF interrupt.
RCREG content should be discarded.
Note 1: If the WUE bit is set with the ABDEN bit,
auto-baud rate detection will occur on the
byte following the Break character (see
Section 19.3.4
“Auto-Wake-up
on
SYNC BREAK Character”).
In the Auto-Baud Rate Detect (ABD) mode, the clock to
the BRG is reversed. Rather than the BRG clocking the
incoming RX signal, the RX signal is timing the BRG. In
ABD mode, the internal Baud Rate Generator is used
as a counter to time the bit period of the incoming serial
byte stream.
Once the ABDEN bit is set, the state machine will clear
the BRG and look for a Start bit. The Auto-Baud Detect
must receive a byte with the value 55h (ASCII “U”,
which is also the LIN bus Sync character), in order to
calculate the proper bit rate. The measurement takes
over both a low and a high bit time in order to minimize
any effects caused by asymmetry of the incoming
signal. After a Start bit, the SPBRG begins counting up
using the preselected clock source on the first rising
edge of RX. After eight bits on the RX pin, or the fifth
rising edge, an accumulated value totalling the proper
BRG period is left in the SPBRGH:SPBRG registers.
Once the 5th edge is seen (should correspond to the
Stop bit), the ABDEN bit is automatically cleared.
2: It is up to the user to determine that the
incoming character baud rate is within the
range of the selected BRG clock source.
Some combinations of oscillator frequency and USART baud rates are not
possible due to bit error rates. Overall
system timing and communication baud
rates must be taken into consideration
when using the Auto-Baud Rate Detection feature.
TABLE 19-4:
While calibrating the baud rate period, the BRG registers are clocked at 1/8th the pre-configured clock rate.
Note that the BRG clock will be configured by the
BRG16 and BRGH bits. Independent of the BRG16 bit
setting, both the SPBRG and SPBRGH will be used as
a 16-bit counter. This allows the user to verify that no

USART Asynchronous Mode
The Asynchronous mode of operation is selected by
clearing the SYNC bit (TXSTA<4>). In this mode, the
USART uses standard non-return-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/16-bit baud rate generator can be used
to derive standard baud rate frequencies from the
oscillator.
The USART transmits and receives the LSb first. The
USART’s transmitter and receiver are functionally independent, but use the same data format and baud rate.
The baud rate generator produces a clock, either x16
or x64 of the bit shift rate, depending on the BRGH and
BRG16 bits (TXSTA<2> and BAUDCTL<3>). Parity is
not supported by the hardware, but can be
implemented in software and stored as the 9th data bit.
Asynchronous mode is available in all low-power
modes; it is available in Sleep mode only when AutoWake-up on Sync Break is enabled. When in PRI_IDLE
mode, no changes to the baud rate generator values
are required; however, other low-power mode clocks
may operate at another frequency than the primary
clock. Therefore, the baud rate generator values may
need to be adjusted.
becomes valid in the second instruction cycle following
the load instruction. Polling TXIF immediately following
a load of TXREG will return invalid results.
While flag bit TXIF indicates the status of the TXREG
register, another bit, TRMT (TXSTA<1>), shows the
status of the TSR register. Status bit TRMT is a readonly bit, which is set when the TSR register is empty.
No interrupt logic is tied to this bit, so the user has to
poll this bit in order to determine if the TSR register is
empty.
Note 1: The TSR register is not mapped in data
memory, so it is not available to the user.
2: Flag bit TXIF is set when enable bit TXEN
is set.

Initialize the SPBRGH:SPBRG registers for the
appropriate baud rate. Set or clear the BRGH
and BRG16 bits, as required, to achieve the
desired baud rate.
Enable the asynchronous serial port by clearing
bit SYNC and setting bit SPEN.
If interrupts are desired, set enable bit TXIE.
If 9-bit transmission is desired, set transmit bit
TX9. Can be used as address/data bit.
Enable the transmission by setting bit TXEN,
which will also set bit TXIF.
If 9-bit transmission is selected, the ninth bit
should be loaded in bit TX9D.
Load data to the TXREG register (starts
transmission).
If using interrupts, ensure that the GIE and PEIE bits in
the INTCON register (INTCON<7:6>) are set.
USART ASYNCHRONOUS
TRANSMITTER
The USART transmitter block diagram is shown in
Figure 19-2. 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. The
TXREG register is loaded with data in software. The
TSR register is not loaded until the Stop bit has been
transmitted from the previous load. As soon as the Stop
bit is transmitted, the TSR is loaded with new data from
the TXREG register (if available).
Once the TXREG register transfers the data to the TSR
register (occurs in one TCY), the TXREG register is
empty and flag bit TXIF (PIR1<4>) is set. This interrupt
can be enabled/disabled by setting/clearing enable bit
TXIE (PIE1<4>). Flag bit TXIF will be set, regardless of
the state of enable bit TXIE and cannot be cleared in
software. Flag bit TXIF is not cleared immediately upon
loading the transmit buffer register TXREG. TXIF

USART ASYNCHRONOUS
RECEIVER
19.3.3
The receiver block diagram is shown in Figure 19-5.
The data is received on the RC7/RX/DT/SDO pin and
drives the data recovery block. The data recovery block
is actually a high-speed shifter operating at x16 times
the baud rate, whereas the main receive serial shifter
operates at the bit rate or at FOSC. This mode would
typically be used in RS-232 systems.
This mode would typically be used in RS-485 systems.
To set up an Asynchronous Reception with Address
Detect Enable:
1.
Initialize the SPBRGH:SPBRG registers for the
appropriate baud rate. Set or clear the BRGH
and BRG16 bits, as required, to achieve the
desired baud rate.
2. Enable the asynchronous serial port by clearing
the SYNC bit and setting the SPEN bit.
3. If interrupts are required, set the RCEN bit and
select the desired priority level with the RCIP bit.
4. Set the RX9 bit to enable 9-bit reception.
5. Set the ADDEN bit to enable address detect.
6. Enable reception by setting the CREN bit.
7. The RCIF bit will be set when reception is complete. The interrupt will be Acknowledged if the
RCIE and GIE bits are set.
8. Read the RCSTA register to determine if any
error occurred during reception, as well as read
bit 9 of data (if applicable).
9. Read RCREG to determine if the device is being
addressed.
10. If any error occurred, clear the CREN bit.
11. If the device has been addressed, clear the
ADDEN bit to allow all received data into the
receive buffer and interrupt the CPU.
To set up an Asynchronous Reception:
1.
Initialize the SPBRGH:SPBRG registers for the
appropriate baud rate. Set or clear the BRGH

3. If interrupts are desired, set enable bit RCIE.
4. If 9-bit reception is desired, set bit RX9.
5. Enable the reception by setting bit CREN.
6. Flag bit RCIF will be set when reception is complete and an interrupt will be generated if enable
bit RCIE was set.
7. Read the RCSTA register to get the 9th bit (if
enabled) and determine if any error occurred
during reception.
8. Read the 8-bit received data by reading the
RCREG register.
9. If any error occurred, clear the error by clearing
enable bit CREN.
10. If using interrupts, ensure that the GIE and PEIE
bits in the INTCON register (INTCON<7:6>) are
set.

19.3.4
AUTO-WAKE-UP ON SYNC BREAK
CHARACTER
During Sleep mode, all clocks to the USART are suspended. Because of this, the baud rate generator is
inactive and a proper byte reception cannot be performed. The Auto-Wake-up feature allows the controller to wake-up due to activity on the RX/DT line, while
the USART is operating in Asynchronous mode.
The Auto-Wake-up feature is enabled by setting the
WUE bit (BAUDCTL<1>). Once set, the typical receive
sequence on RX/DT is disabled, and the USART
remains in an Idle state, monitoring for a wake-up event
independent of the CPU mode. A wake-up event consists of a high-to-low transition on the RX/DT line. (This
coincides with the start of a Sync Break or a Wake-up
Signal character for the LIN protocol.)
Following a wake-up event, the module generates an
RCIF interrupt. The interrupt is generated synchronously to the Q clocks in normal operating modes
(Figure 19-7), and asynchronously if the device is in
Sleep mode (Figure 19-8). The interrupt condition is
cleared by reading the RCREG register.
The WUE bit is automatically cleared once a low-tohigh transition is observed on the RX line, following the
wake-up event. At this point, the USART module is in
Idle mode and returns to normal operation. This signals
to the user that the Sync Break event is over.
19.3.4.1
Special Considerations Using
Auto-Wake-up
Since Auto-Wake-up functions by sensing rising edge
transitions on RX/DT, information with any state
changes before the Stop bit may signal a false end-ofcharacter and cause data or framing errors. To work
FIGURE 19-7:
properly, therefore, the initial character in the
transmission must be all ‘0’s. This can be 00h (8 bytes)
for standard RS-232 devices, or 000h (12 bits) for LIN
bus.
Oscillator start-up time must also be considered, especially in applications using oscillators with longer startup intervals (i.e., LP, XT or HS/PLL mode). The sync
break (or wake-up signal) character must be of sufficient length, and be followed by a sufficient interval, to
allow enough time for the selected oscillator to start
and provide proper initialization of the USART.
19.3.4.2
Special Considerations Using the
WUE Bit
The timing of WUE and RCIF events may cause some
confusion when it comes to determining the validity of
received data. As noted, setting the WUE bit places the
USART in an Idle mode. The wake-up event causes a
receive interrupt by setting the RCIF bit. The WUE bit
is cleared after this when a rising edge is seen on RX/
DT. The interrupt condition is then cleared by reading
the RCREG register. Ordinarily, the data in RCREG will
be dummy data and should be discarded.
The fact that the WUE bit has been cleared (or is still
set) and the RCIF flag is set should not be used as an
indicator of the integrity of the data in RCREG. Users
should consider implementing a parallel method in
firmware to verify received data integrity.
To assure that no actual data is lost, check the RCIDL
bit to verify that a receive operation is not in process. If
a receive operation is not occurring, the WUE bit may
then be set just prior to entering the Sleep mode.

19.3.5
BREAK CHARACTER SEQUENCE
The enhanced USART module has the capability of
sending the special break character sequences that
are required by the LIN bus standard. The break character transmit consists of a Start bit, followed by 12 ‘0’
bits and a Stop bit. The frame break character is sent
whenever the SENDB and TXEN bits (TXSTA<3> and
TXSTA<5>) are set, while the transmit shift register is
loaded with data. Note that the value of data written to
TXREG will be ignored and all ‘0’s will be transmitted.
The SENDB bit is automatically reset by hardware after
the corresponding Stop bit is sent. This allows the user
to preload the transmit FIFO with the next transmit byte
following the break character (typically, the sync character in the LIN specification).
Note that the data value written to the TXREG for the
break character is ignored. The write simply serves the
purpose of initiating the proper sequence.
The TRMT bit indicates when the transmit operation is
active or idle, just as it does during normal transmission. See Figure 19-9 for the timing of the break
character sequence.
19.3.5.1
Break and Sync Transmit Sequence
The following sequence will send a message frame
header made up of a break, followed by an auto-baud
sync byte. This sequence is typical of a LIN bus master.
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Configure the USART for the desired mode.
Set the TXEN and SENDB bits to setup the
break character.
Load the TXREG with a dummy character to
initiate transmission (the value is ignored).
Write ‘55h’ to TXREG to load the Sync character
into the transmit FIFO buffer.
After the break has been sent, the SENDB bit is
reset by hardware. The sync character now
transmits in the Pre-Configured mode.
When the TXREG becomes empty, as indicated by the
TXIF, the next data byte can be written to TXREG.
19.3.6
RECEIVING A BREAK CHARACTER
The enhanced USART module can receive a break
character in two ways.
The first method forces to configure the baud rate at a
frequency of 9/13 the typical speed. This allows for the
Stop bit transition to be at the correct sampling location
(13 bits for break versus Start bit and 8 data bits for typical data).
The second method uses the auto-wake-up feature
described in Section 19.3.4 “Auto-Wake-up on
SYNC BREAK Character”. By enabling this feature,
the USART will sample the next two transitions on RX/
DT, cause an RCIF interrupt, and receive the next data
byte followed by another interrupt.
Note that following a break character, the user will
typically want to enable the auto-baud rate detect
feature. For both methods, the user can set the ABD bit
before placing the USART in its Sleep mode.

USART Synchronous Master
Mode
Once the TXREG register transfers the data to the TSR
register (occurs in one TCYCLE), the TXREG is empty
and interrupt bit TXIF (PIR1<4>) is set. The interrupt
can be enabled/disabled by setting/clearing enable bit
TXIE (PIE1<4>). Flag bit TXIF will be set, regardless of
the state of enable bit TXIE, and cannot be cleared in
software. It will reset only when new data is loaded into
the TXREG register.
The Synchronous Master mode is entered by setting
the CSRC bit (TXSTA<7>). In this mode, the data is
transmitted in a half-duplex manner (i.e., transmission
and reception do not occur at the same time). When
transmitting data, the reception is inhibited and vice
versa. Synchronous mode is entered by setting bit
SYNC (TXSTA<4>). In addition, enable bit SPEN
(RCSTA<7>) is set in order to configure the RC6/TX/
CK/SS and RC7/RX/DT/SDO I/O pins to CK (clock)
and DT (data) lines, respectively.
While flag bit TXIF indicates the status of the TXREG
register, another bit, TRMT (TXSTA<1>), shows the
status of the TSR register. TRMT is a read-only bit,
which is set when the TSR is empty. No interrupt logic
is tied to this bit, so the user must poll this bit in order
to determine if the TSR register is empty. The TSR is
not mapped in data memory, so it is not available to the
user.
The Master mode indicates that the processor transmits the master clock on the CK line. Clock polarity is
selected with the SCKP bit (BAUDCTL<5>); setting
SCKP sets the Idle state on CK as high, while clearing
the bit, sets the Idle state low. This option is provided to
support Microwire® devices with this module.

The USART transmitter block diagram is shown in
Figure 19-2. The heart of the transmitter is the Transmit
(serial) Shift Register (TSR). The shift register obtains
its data from the read/write transmit buffer register
TXREG. The TXREG register is loaded with data in
software. The TSR register is not loaded until the last
bit has been transmitted from the previous load. As
soon as the last bit is transmitted, the TSR is loaded
with new data from the TXREG (if available).

CSRC (TXSTA<7>). This mode differs from the
Synchronous Master mode in that the shift clock is
supplied externally at the RC6/TX/CK/SS pin (instead
of being supplied internally in Master mode). This
allows the device to transfer or receive data while in
any low-power mode.
19.5.1
Enable the synchronous slave serial port by
setting bits SYNC and SPEN and clearing bit
CSRC.
Clear bits CREN and SREN.
If interrupts are desired, set enable bit TXIE.
If 9-bit transmission is desired, set bit TX9.
Enable the transmission by setting enable bit
TXEN.
If 9-bit transmission is selected, the ninth bit
should be loaded in bit TX9D.
Start transmission by loading data to the TXREG
register.
If using interrupts, ensure that the GIE and PEIE
bits in the INTCON register (INTCON<7:6>) are
set.

8.
If two words are written to the TXREG and then the
SLEEP instruction is executed, the following will occur:
a)
b)
c)
d)
e)
The first word will immediately transfer to the
TSR register and transmit.
The second word will remain in TXREG register.
Flag bit TXIF will not be set.
When the first word has been shifted out of TSR,
the TXREG register will transfer the second
word to the TSR and flag bit TXIF will now be
set.
If enable bit TXIE is set, the interrupt will wake
the chip from Sleep. If the global interrupt is
enabled, the program will branch to the interrupt
vector.

USART SYNCHRONOUS SLAVE
RECEPTION
To set up a Synchronous Slave Reception:
1.
The operation of the Synchronous Master and Slave
modes is identical, except in the case of Sleep, or any
Idle mode and bit SREN, which is a “don't care” in
Slave mode.
Enable the synchronous master serial port by
setting bits SYNC and SPEN and clearing bit
CSRC.
If interrupts are desired, set enable bit RCIE.
If 9-bit reception is desired, set bit RX9.
To enable reception, set enable bit CREN.
Flag bit RCIF will be set when reception is complete. An interrupt will be generated if enable bit
RCIE was set.
Read the RCSTA register to get the 9th bit (if
enabled) and determine if any error occurred
during reception.
Read the 8-bit received data by reading the
RCREG register.
If any error occurred, clear the error by clearing
bit CREN.
If using interrupts, ensure that the GIE and PEIE
bits in the INTCON register (INTCON<7:6>) are
set.
2.
3.
4.
5.
If receive is enabled by setting the CREN bit prior to
entering Sleep or any idle mode, then a word may be
received while in this Low-Power mode. Once the word
is received, the RSR register will transfer the data to the
RCREG register; if the RCIE enable bit is set, the interrupt generated will wake the chip from Low-Power
mode. If the global interrupt is enabled, the program will
branch to the interrupt vector.

10-BIT HIGH-SPEED ANALOGTO-DIGITAL CONVERTER (A/D)
MODULE
The high-speed Analog-to-Digital (A/D) Converter
module allows conversion of an analog signal to a
corresponding 10-bit digital number.
The A/D module supports up to 5 input channels on
PIC18F2X31 devices, and up to 9 channels on the
PIC18F4X31 devices.
This high-speed 10-bit A/D module offers the following
features:
• Up to 200K samples per second
• Two sample and hold inputs for dual-channel
simultaneous sampling
• Selectable simultaneous or sequential sampling
modes
• 4-word data buffer for A/D results
• Selectable data acquisition timing
• Selectable A/D event trigger
• Operation in Sleep using internal oscillator
 2003 Microchip Technology Inc.
These features lend themselves to many applications
including motor control, sensor interfacing, data
acquisition and process control. In many cases, these
features will reduce the software overhead associated
with standard A/D modules.
The module has 9 registers:

The A/D channels are grouped into four sets of 2 or 3
channels. For the PIC18F2X31 devices, AN0 and AN4
are in Group A, AN1 is in Group B, AN2 is in Group C
and AN3 is in Group D. For the PIC18F4X31 devices,
AN0, AN4 and AN8 are in Group A, AN1 and AN5 are
in Group B, AN2 and AN6 are in Group C and AN3 and
AN7 are in Group D. The selected channel in each
group is selected by configuring the A/D Channel
Select Register, ADCHS.
The A/D converter has a unique feature of being able
to operate while the device is in Sleep mode. To
operate in Sleep, the A/D conversion clock must be
derived from the A/D’s internal RC oscillator.
A device Reset forces all registers to their Reset state.
This forces the A/D module to be turned off and any
conversion in progress is aborted.
Each port pin associated with the A/D converter can
individually be configured as an analog input or digital
I/O using the ANSEL0 and ANSEL1 registers. The
ADRESH and ADRESL registers contain the value in
the result buffer pointed to by ADPNT<1:0>
(ADCON1<1:0>). The result buffer is a 4-deep circular
buffer that has an empty status bit, BEMT
(ADCON1<3>), and an overflow status bit, BOVFL
(ADCON1<2>).
The analog voltage reference is software selectable to
either the device’s positive and negative analog supply
voltage (AVDD and AVSS), or the voltage level on the
RA3/AN3/VREF+/CAP2/QEA and RA2/AN2/VREF-/
CAP1/INDX, or some combination of supply and
external sources. Register ADCON1 controls the
voltage reference settings.

ACONV bit. Single-shot mode allows a single
conversion or sequence to be when ACONV = ‘0’. At
the end of the sequence, the GO/DONE bit will be
automatically cleared and the interrupt flag, ADIF, will
be set. When using Single-shot mode and configured
for Simultaneous mode, STNM2, acquisition time must
be used to ensure proper conversion of the analog
input signals.
CONVERSION MODE
The ACSCH bit (ADCON0<4>) controls how many
channels are used in the configured sequence. When
clear, the A/D is configured for single channel conversion and will convert the group selected by
ACMOD<1:0> and channel selected by GxSEL<1:0>
(ADCHS). When ACSCH = ‘1’, the A/D is configured for
multiple channel conversion and the sequence is
defined by ACMOD<1:0>.
Continuous Loop mode allows the defined sequence to
be executed in a continuous loop when ACONV = ‘1’.
In this mode, either the user can trigger the start of conversion by setting the GO/DONE bit or one of the A/D
triggers can start the conversion. The interrupt flag
ADIF is set based on the configuration of the bits
ADRS<1:0> (ADCON3<7:6>). In simultaneous modes,
STNM1 and STNM2, acquisition time must be configured to ensure proper conversion of the analog input
signals.

CONVERSION SEQUENCING
20.1.5
The ACMOD<1:0> bits control the sequencing of the
A/D conversions. When ACSCH = 0, the A/D is
configured to sample and convert a single channel.
The ACMOD bits select which group to perform the
conversions and the GxSEL<1:0> bits select which
channel in the group is to be converted. If Single-shot
mode is enabled, the A/D interrupt flag will be set after
the channel is converted. If Continuous Loop mode is
enabled, the A/D interrupt flag will be set according to
the ADRS<1:0> bits.
When ACSHC = 1, multiple channel sequencing is
enabled and two sub-modes can be selected. The first
mode is Sequential mode with two settings. The first
setting is called SEQM1 and first samples and converts
the selected Group A channel and then samples and
converts the selected Group B channel. The second
mode is called SEQM2, and it samples and converts a
Group A channel, Group B channel, Group C channel
and finally a Group D channel.
The second multiple channel sequencing sub-mode is
Simultaneous Sampling mode. In this mode, there are
also two settings. The first setting is called STNM1 and
uses the two sample and hold circuits on the A/D
module. The selected Group A and B channels are
simultaneously sampled and then the Group A channel
is converted followed by the conversion of the Group B
channel. The second setting is called STNM2 and
starts the same as STNM1 but follows it with a
simultaneous sample of Group C and D channels. The
A/D module will then convert the Group C channel
followed by the Group D channel.

TRIGGERING A/D CONVERSIONS
The PIC18F2331/2431/4331/4431 devices are capable
of triggering conversions from many different sources.
The same method used by all other microcontrollers of
setting the GO/DONE bit still works. The other trigger
sources are:
5.
RC3/INT0 pin
Timer5 Overflow
Input Capture 1 (IC1)
CCP2 Compare Match
Power Control PWM rising edge
These triggers are enabled using the SSRC<4:0> bits
(ADCON3<4:0>). Any combination of the five sources
can trigger a conversion by simply setting the corresponding bit in ADCON3. When the trigger occurs, the
GO/DONE bit is automatically set by the hardware and
then cleared once the conversion completes.

A/D Result Buffer
20.3
The A/D module has a 4-level result buffer with an
address range of 0 to 3, enabled by setting the FIFOEN
bit in the ADCON1 register. This buffer is implemented
in a circular fashion where the A/D result is stored in
one location and the address is incremented. If the
address is greater than 3, the pointer is wrapped back
around to 0. The result buffer has a buffer empty flag,
BEMT, indicating when any data is in the buffer. It also
has an overflow flag, BOVFL, which indicates when a
new sample has overwritten a location that was not
previously read.
Associated with the buffer is a pointer to the address for
the next read operation. The ADPNT<1:0> bits
configure the address for the next read operation.
These bits are read-only.
The Result Buffer also has a configurable interrupt
trigger level that is configured by the ADRS<1:0> bits.
The user has three selections: interrupt flag set on
every write to the buffer, interrupt on every second write
to the buffer, or interrupt on every fourth write to the
buffer. ADPNT<1:0> is reset to ‘00’ every time a
conversion sequence is started (either by setting the
GO/DONE bit, or on a trigger).
Note:
When right justified, reading ADRESL
increments ADPNT. When left justified,
reading ADRESH increments ADPNT.
A/D Acquisition Requirements
For the A/D converter to meet its specified accuracy,
the charge holding capacitor (CHOLD) must be allowed
to fully charge to the input channel voltage level. The
analog input model is shown in Figure 20-2. The
source impedance (RS) and the internal sampling
switch (RSS) impedance directly affect the time
required to charge the capacitor CHOLD. The sampling
switch (RSS) impedance varies over the device voltage
(VDD). The source impedance affects the offset voltage
at the analog input (due to pin leakage current). The
maximum recommended impedance for analog
sources is 2.5 kΩ. After the analog input channel is
selected (changed), the channel must be sampled for
at least the minimum acquisition time before starting a
conversion.
Note:
When the conversion is started, the
holding capacitor is disconnected from the
input pin.
To calculate the minimum acquisition time,
Equation 20-1 may be used. This equation assumes
that 1/2 LSb error is used (1024 steps for the A/D). The
1/2 LSb error is the maximum error allowed for the A/D
to meet its specified resolution.
Example 20-1 shows the calculation of the minimum
required acquisition time TACQ. In this case, the
converter module is fully powered up at the outset and
therefore the amplifier settling time, TAMP, is negligible.
This calculation is based on the following application

A/D Voltage References
20.6
If external voltage references are used instead of the
internal AVDD and AVSS sources, the source
impedance of the VREF+ and VREF- voltage sources
must be considered. During acquisition, currents
supplied by these sources are insignificant. However,
during conversion, the A/D module sinks and sources
current through the reference sources.
The A/D conversion time per bit is defined as TAD. The
A/D conversion requires 12 TAD per 10-bit conversion.
The source of the A/D conversion clock is software
selectable. There are eight possible options for TAD:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
In order to maintain the A/D accuracy, the voltage
reference source impedances should be kept low to
reduce voltage changes. These voltage changes occur
as reference currents flow through the reference
source impedance.
Note:
20.5
When using external references, the
source impedance of the external voltage
references must be less than 75Ω in order
to achieve the specified ADC resolution. A
higher reference source impedance will
increase the ADC offset and gain errors.
Resistive voltage dividers will not provide
a low enough source impedance. To
ensure the best possible ADC performance, external VREF inputs should be
buffered with an op-amp or other low
impedance circuit.

For correct A/D conversions, the A/D conversion clock
(TAD) must be as short as possible, but greater than the
minimum TAD (approximately 416 µs, see parameter
130 for more information).
Table 20-2 shows the resultant TAD times derived from
the device operating frequencies and the A/D clock
source selected.
Selecting and Configuring
Automatic Acquisition Time
The ADCON2 register allows the user to select an
acquisition time that occurs each time an A/D conversion is triggered.
When the GO/DONE bit is set, sampling is stopped and
a conversion begins. The user is responsible for
ensuring the required acquisition time has passed
between selecting the desired input channel and the
start of conversion. This occurs when the
ACQT3:ACQT0 bits (ADCON2<6:3>) remain in their
Reset state (‘0000’).
If desired, the ACQT bits can be set to select a
programmable acquisition time for the A/D module.
When triggered, the A/D module continues to sample
the input for the selected acquisition time, then
automatically begins a conversion. Since the
acquisition time is programmed, there may be no need
to wait for an acquisition time between selecting a
channel and triggering the A/D. If an acquisition time is
programmed, there is nothing to indicate if the
acquisition time has ended, or if the conversion has
begun.

For device frequencies above 1 MHz, the device must be in Sleep for the entire conversion or the A/D
accuracy may be out of specification, unless in Single-shot mode.
Low-power devices only.
Operation in Power-Managed
Modes
Note:
The selection of the automatic acquisition time and
A/D conversion clock is determined in part by the
clock source and frequency while in a power-managed mode.
If the A/D is expected to operate while the device is in
a power-managed mode, the ACQT3:ACQT0 and
ADCS2:ADCS0 bits in ADCON2 should be updated in
accordance with the power-managed mode clock that
will be used. After the power-managed mode is entered
(either of the power-managed run modes), an A/D
acquisition or conversion may be started. Once an
acquisition or conversion is started, the device should
continue to be clocked by the same power-managed
mode clock source until the conversion has been completed. If desired, the device may be placed into the
corresponding power-managed Idle mode during the
conversion.
If the power-managed mode clock frequency is less
than 1 MHz, the A/D RC clock source should be
selected.
Operation in Sleep mode requires the A/D RC clock to
be selected. If bits ACQT3:ACQT0 are set to ‘0000’,
and a conversion is started, the conversion will be
delayed one instruction cycle to allow execution of the
SLEEP instruction and entry to Sleep mode. The IDLEN
and SCS bits in the OSCCON register must have
already been cleared prior to starting the conversion.
DS39616B-page 256
20.8
The A/D can operate in Sleep mode only
when configured for Single-shot operation. If the part is in Sleep mode, and it is
possible for a source other than the A/D
module to wake the part, the user must
poll ADCON<GO/DONE> to ensure it is
clear before reading the result.
Configuring Analog Port Pins
The ANSEL0, ANSEL1, TRISA and TRISE registers all
configure the A/D port pins. The port pins needed as
analog inputs must have their corresponding TRIS bits
set (input). If the TRIS bit is cleared (output), the digital
output level (VOH or VOL) will be converted.
The A/D operation is independent of the state of the
ANSEL0, ANSEL1 and the TRIS bits.
Note 1: When reading the Port register, all pins
configured as analog input channels will
read as cleared (a low level). Pins
configured as digital inputs will convert an
analog input. Analog levels on a digitally
configured input will be accurately
converted.
Preliminary
2: Analog levels on any pin defined as a
digital input may cause the digital input
buffer to consume current out of the
device’s specification limits.

A/D Conversions
Figure 20-3 shows the operation of the A/D converter
after the GO bit has been set and the ACQT2:ACQT0
bits are cleared. A conversion is started after the following instruction to allow entry into Sleep mode before the
conversion begins. The internal A/D RC oscillator must
be selected to perform a conversion in Sleep.
Figure 20-4 shows the operation of the A/D converter
after the GO bit has been set and the ACQT3:ACQT0
bits are set to ‘010’, and selecting a 4 TAD acquisition
time before the conversion starts.
FIGURE 20-3:
Clearing the GO/DONE bit during a conversion will
abort the current conversion. The resulting buffer location will contain the partially completed A/D conversion
sample. This will not set the ADIF flag, therefore, the
user must read the buffer location before a conversion
sequence overwrites it.
After the A/D conversion is completed or aborted, a
2 TAD wait is required before the next acquisition can
be started. After this wait, acquisition on the selected
channel is automatically started.
Note:
The GO/DONE bit should NOT be set in
the same instruction that turns on the A/D.

LOW-VOLTAGE DETECT
In many applications, the ability to determine if the
device voltage (VDD) is below a specified voltage level
is a desirable feature. A window of operation for the
application can be created, where the application
software can do “housekeeping tasks” before the
device voltage exits the valid operating range. This can
be done using the Low-Voltage Detect module (LVD).
This module is a software programmable circuitry,
where a device voltage trip point can be specified.
When the voltage of the device becomes lower then the
specified point, an interrupt flag is set. If the interrupt is
enabled, the program execution will branch to the
interrupt vector address and the software can then
respond to that interrupt source.
The Low-Voltage Detect circuitry is completely under
software control. This allows the circuitry to be turned
off by the software, which minimizes the current
consumption for the device.
Figure 21-1 shows a possible application voltage curve
(typically for batteries). Over time, the device voltage
decreases. When the device voltage equals voltage VA,
the LVD logic generates an interrupt. This occurs at
time TA. The application software then has the time,
The block diagram for the LVD module is shown in
Figure 21-2. A comparator uses an internally generated reference voltage as the set point. When the
selected tap output of the device voltage crosses the
set point (is lower than), the LVDIF bit is set.
Each node in the resistor divider represents a “trip
point” voltage. The “trip point” voltage is the minimum
supply voltage level at which the device can operate
before the LVD module asserts an interrupt. When the
supply voltage is equal to the trip point, the voltage
tapped off of the resistor array is equal to the 1.2V
internal reference voltage generated by the voltage
reference module. The comparator then generates an
interrupt signal setting the LVDIF bit. This voltage is
software programmable to any one of 16 values (see
Figure 21-2). The trip point is selected by programming
the LVDL3:LVDL0 bits (LVDCON<3:0>).

Operation
Depending on the power source for the device voltage,
the voltage normally decreases relatively slowly. This
means that the LVD module does not need to be
constantly operating. To decrease the current
requirements, the LVD circuitry only needs to be
enabled for short periods, where the voltage is
checked. After doing the check, the LVD module may
be disabled.
Each time that the LVD module is enabled, the circuitry
requires some time to stabilize. After the circuitry has
stabilized, all status flags may be cleared. The module
will then indicate the proper state of the system.
The following steps are needed to set up the LVD
module:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
Write the value to the LVDL3:LVDL0 bits
(LVDCON register), which selects the desired
LVD Trip Point.
Ensure that LVD interrupts are disabled (the
LVDIE bit is cleared or the GIE bit is cleared).
Enable the LVD module (set the LVDEN bit in
the LVDCON register).
Wait for the LVD module to stabilize (the IRVST
bit to become set).
Clear the LVD interrupt flag, which may have
falsely become set until the LVD module has
stabilized (clear the LVDIF bit).
Enable the LVD interrupt (set the LVDIE and the
GIE bits).
Figure 21-4 shows typical waveforms that the LVD
module may be used to detect.

REFERENCE VOLTAGE SET POINT
The internal reference voltage of the LVD module may
be used by other internal circuitry (the Programmable
Brown-out Reset). If these circuits are disabled (lower
current consumption), the reference voltage circuit
requires a time to become stable before a low-voltage
condition can be reliably detected. This time is invariant
of system clock speed. This start-up time is specified in
electrical specification parameter 36. The low-voltage
interrupt flag will not be enabled until a stable reference
voltage is reached. Refer to the waveform in Figure 21-4.
21.2.2
CURRENT CONSUMPTION
21.3
Operation During Sleep
When enabled, the LVD circuitry continues to operate
during Sleep. If the device voltage crosses the trip
point, the LVDIF bit will be set and the device will wakeup from Sleep. Device execution will continue from the
interrupt vector address if interrupts have been globally
enabled.
21.4
Effects of a Reset
A device Reset forces all registers to their Reset state.
This forces the LVD module to be turned off.
When the module is enabled, the LVD comparator and
voltage divider are enabled and will consume static
current. The voltage divider can be tapped from
multiple places in the resistor array. Total current
consumption, when enabled, is specified in electrical
specification parameter #D022B.

SPECIAL FEATURES OF THE
CPU
PIC18F2331/2431/4331/4431 devices include several
features intended to maximize system reliability and
minimize cost through elimination of external components. These are:
• Oscillator Selection
• Resets:
- Power-on Reset (POR)
- Power-up Timer (PWRT)
- Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST)
- Brown-out Reset (BOR)
• Interrupts
• Watchdog Timer (WDT)
• Fail-Safe Clock Monitor
• Two-Speed Start-up
• Code Protection
• ID Locations
• In-Circuit Serial Programming™ (ICSP™)
The oscillator can be configured for the application
depending on frequency, power, accuracy and cost. All
of the options are discussed in detail in Section 2.0
“Oscillator Configurations”.
22.1
Configuration Bits
The configuration bits can be programmed (read as
‘0’), or left unprogrammed (read as ‘1’), to select
various device configurations. These bits are mapped
starting at program memory location 300000h.
The user will note that address 300000h is beyond the
user program memory space. In fact, it belongs to the
configuration memory space (300000h-3FFFFFh),
which can only be accessed using table reads and
table writes.
Programming the configuration registers is done in a
manner similar to programming the Flash memory. The
EECON1 register WR bit starts a self-timed write to the
Configuration register. In normal Operation mode, a
TBLWT instruction with the TBLPTR pointing to the
Configuration register sets up the address and the data
for the configuration register write. Setting the WR bit
starts a long write to the Configuration register. The
configuration registers are written a byte at a time. To
write or erase a configuration cell, a TBLWT instruction
can write a ‘1’ or a ‘0’ into the cell. For additional details
on Flash programming, refer to Section 6.5 “Writing
to Flash Program Memory”.
A complete discussion of device Resets and interrupts
is available in previous sections of this data sheet.
In addition to their Power-up and Oscillator start-up timers provided for Resets, PIC18F2331/2431/4331/4431
devices have a Watchdog Timer, which is either permanently enabled via the configuration bits, or software
controlled (if configured as disabled).
The inclusion of an internal RC oscillator also provides
the additional benefits of a Fail-Safe Clock Monitor
(FSCM) and Two-Speed Start-up. FSCM provides for
background monitoring of the peripheral clock and
automatic switchover in the event of its failure. TwoSpeed Start-up enables code to be executed almost
immediately on start-up, while the primary clock source
completes its start-up delays.
All of these features are enabled and configured by
setting the appropriate configuration register bits.

Watchdog Timer (WDT)
Note 1: The CLRWDT and SLEEP instructions
clear the WDT and postscaler counts
when executed.
For PIC18F2331/2431/4331/4431 devices, the WDT is
driven by the INTRC source. When the WDT is
enabled, the clock source is also enabled. The nominal
WDT period is 4 ms and has the same stability as the
INTRC oscillator.
2: Changing the setting of the IRCF bits
(OSCCON<6:4> clears the WDT and
postscaler counts.
The 4 ms period of the WDT is multiplied by a 16-bit
postscaler. Any output of the WDT postscaler is
selected by a multiplexer, controlled by bits in
Configuration Register 2H (see Register 22-3).
Available periods range from 4 ms to 131.072 seconds
(2.18 minutes). The WDT and postscaler are cleared
when any of the following events occur: execute a
SLEEP or CLRWDT instruction, the IRCF bits
(OSCCON<6:4>) are changed, or a clock failure has
occurred (see Section 22.4.1 “FSCM and the
Watchdog Timer”).
3: When a CLRWDT instruction is executed
the postscaler count will be cleared.
4: If WINEN = 0, then CLRWDT must be
executed only when WDTW = 1; otherwise, a device reset will result.
22.2.1
Register 22-15 shows the WDTCON register. This is a
readable and writable register. The SWDTEN bit allows
software to enable or disable the WDT, but only if the
configuration bit has disabled the WDT. The WDTW bit
is a read-only bit that indicates when the WDT count is
in the fourth quadrant (i.e., when the 8-bit WDT value is
b’11000000’ or greater).
Adjustments to the internal oscillator clock period using
the OSCTUNE register also affect the period of the
WDT by the same factor. For example, if the INTRC
period is increased by 3%, then the WDT period is
increased by 3%.

22.3.1
Two-Speed Start-up
The Two-Speed Start-up feature helps to minimize the
latency period from oscillator start-up to code execution
by allowing the microcontroller to use the INTRC oscillator as a clock source until the primary clock source is
available. It is enabled by setting the IESO bit in
Configuration Register 1H (CONFIG1H<7>).
Two-Speed Start-up is available only if the primary
Oscillator mode is LP, XT, HS or HSPLL (crystal-based
modes). Other sources do not require a OST start-up
delay; for these, Two-Speed Start-up is disabled.
When enabled, Resets and wake-ups from Sleep mode
cause the device to configure itself to run from the internal oscillator block as the clock source, following the
time-out of the Power-up Timer after a POR Reset is
enabled. This allows almost immediate code execution, while the primary oscillator starts and the OST is
running. Once the OST times out, the device automatically switches to PRI_RUN mode.
SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR
USING TWO-SPEED START-UP
While using the INTRC oscillator in Two-Speed Startup, the device still obeys the normal command
sequences for entering power-managed modes,
including serial SLEEP instructions (refer to
Section 3.1.3 “Multiple Sleep Commands”). In practice, this means that user code can change the
SCS1:SCS0 bit settings and issue SLEEP commands
before the OST times out. This would allow an application to briefly wake-up, perform routine “housekeeping”
tasks and return to Sleep before the device starts to
operate from the primary oscillator.
User code can also check if the primary clock source is
currently providing the system clocking by checking the
status of the OSTS bit (OSCCON<3>). If the bit is set,
the primary oscillator is providing the system clock.
Otherwise, the internal oscillator block is providing the
clock during wake-up from Reset or Sleep mode.
Because the OSCCON register is cleared on Reset
events, the INTOSC (or postscaler) clock source is not
initially available after a Reset event; the INTRC clock
is used directly at its base frequency. To use a higher
clock speed on wake-up, the INTOSC or postscaler
clock sources can be selected to provide a higher clock
speed by setting bits IFRC2:IFRC0 immediately after
Reset. For wake-ups from Sleep, the INTOSC or
postscaler clock sources can be selected by setting
IFRC2:IFRC0 prior to entering Sleep mode.
In all other power-managed modes, Two-Speed Startup is not used. The device will be clocked by the currently selected clock source until the primary clock
source becomes available. The setting of the IESO bit
is ignored.

Fail-Safe Clock Monitor
The Fail-Safe Clock Monitor (FSCM) allows the
microcontroller to continue operation in the event of an
external oscillator failure, by automatically switching
the system clock to the internal oscillator block. The
FSCM function is enabled by setting the Fail-Safe
Clock Monitor Enable bit, FCMEN (CONFIG1H<6>).
When FSCM is enabled, the INTRC oscillator runs at
all times to monitor clocks to peripherals and provide
an instant backup clock in the event of a clock failure.
Clock monitoring (shown in Figure 22-3) is
accomplished by creating a sample clock signal, which
is the INTRC output divided by 64. This allows ample
time between FSCM sample clocks for a peripheral
clock edge to occur. The peripheral system clock and
the sample clock are presented as inputs to the Clock
Monitor latch (CM). The CM is set on the falling edge of
the system clock source, but cleared on the rising edge
of the sample clock.

Adjustments to the internal oscillator block using the
OSCTUNE register also affect the period of the FSCM
by the same factor. This can usually be neglected, as
the clock frequency being monitored is generally much
higher than the sample clock frequency.
The FSCM will detect failures of the primary or secondary clock sources only. If the internal oscillator block
fails, no failure would be detected, nor would any action
be possible.
22.4.1
FSCM AND THE WATCHDOG TIMER
Both the FSCM and the WDT are clocked by the
INTRC oscillator. Since the WDT operates with a
separate divider and counter, disabling the WDT has
no effect on the operation of the INTRC oscillator when
the FSCM is enabled.
As already noted, the clock source is switched to the
INTOSC clock when a clock failure is detected.
Depending on the frequency selected by the
IRCF2:IRCF0 bits, this may mean a substantial change
in the speed of code execution. If the WDT is enabled
with a small prescale value, a decrease in clock speed
allows a WDT time-out to occur, and a subsequent
device Reset. For this reason, fail-safe clock events
also reset the WDT and postscaler, allowing it to start
timing from when execution speed was changed and
decreasing the likelihood of an erroneous time-out.
488 Hz
(2.048 ms)
Clock
Failure
Detected
Clock failure is tested for on the falling edge of the
sample clock. If a sample clock falling edge occurs
while CM is still set, a clock failure has been detected
(Figure 22-4). This causes the following:
• the FSCM generates an oscillator fail interrupt by
setting bit OSCFIF (PIR2<7>);
• the system clock source is switched to the internal
oscillator block (OSCCON is not updated to show
the current clock source – this is the fail-safe
condition); and
• the WDT is reset.
Since the postscaler frequency from the internal
oscillator block may not be sufficiently stable, it may be
desirable to select another clock configuration and
enter an alternate power-managed mode (see
Section 22.3.1 “Special Considerations for Using
Two-Speed Start-up” and Section 3.1.3 “Multiple
Sleep Commands” for more details). This can be
done to attempt a partial recovery or execute a
controlled shutdown.
 2003 Microchip Technology Inc.
To use a higher clock speed on wake-up, the INTOSC
or postscaler clock sources can be selected to provide
a higher clock speed by setting bits IFRC2:IFRC0
immediately after Reset. For wake-ups from Sleep, the
INTOSC or postscaler clock sources can be selected
by setting IFRC2:IFRC0 prior to entering Sleep mode.
22.4.2
EXITING FAIL-SAFE OPERATION
The fail-safe condition is terminated by either a device
Reset, or by entering a power-managed mode. On Reset,
the controller starts the primary clock source specified in
Configuration Register 1H (with any required start-up
delays that are required for the Oscillator mode, such as
OST or PLL timer). The INTOSC multiplexer provides the
system clock until the primary clock source becomes
ready (similar to a Two-Speed Start-up). The clock system
source is then switched to the primary clock (indicated by
the OSTS bit in the OSCCON register becoming set). The
Fail-Safe Clock Monitor then resumes monitoring the
peripheral clock.
The primary clock source may never become ready
during start-up. In this case, operation is clocked by the
INTOSC multiplexer. The OSCCON register will remain in
its Reset state until a power-managed mode is entered.
Entering a power-managed mode by loading the
OSCCON register and executing a SLEEP instruction
will clear the fail-safe condition. When the fail-safe
condition is cleared, the clock monitor will resume
monitoring the peripheral clock.

The system clock is normally at a much higher frequency than the sample clock. The relative frequencies in
this example have been chosen for clarity.
22.4.4
FSCM INTERRUPTS IN POWERMANAGED MODES
As previously mentioned, entering a power-managed
mode clears the fail-safe condition. By entering a
power-managed mode, the clock multiplexer selects
the clock source selected by the OSCCON register.
Fail-safe monitoring of the power-managed clock
source resumes in the power-managed mode.
If an oscillator failure occurs during power-managed
operation, the subsequent events depend on whether
or not the oscillator failure interrupt is enabled. If
enabled (OSCFIF = 1), code execution will be clocked
by the INTOSC multiplexer. An automatic transition
back to the failed clock source will not occur.
If the interrupt is disabled, the device will not exit the
power-managed mode on oscillator failure. Instead, the
device will continue to operate as before, but clocked
by the INTOSC multiplexer. While in Idle mode, subsequent interrupts will cause the CPU to begin executing
instructions while being clocked by the INTOSC multiplexer. The device will not transition to a different clock
source until the fail-safe condition is cleared.
POR OR WAKE FROM SLEEP
The FSCM is designed to detect oscillator failure at any
point after the device has exited Power-on Reset
(POR) or Low-Power Sleep mode. When the primary
system clock is EC, RC or INTRC modes, monitoring
can begin immediately following these events.
For oscillator modes involving a crystal or resonator
(HS, HSPLL, LP or XT), the situation is somewhat
different. Since the oscillator may require a start-up
time considerably longer than the FCSM sample clock
time, a false clock failure may be detected. To prevent
this, the internal oscillator block is automatically
configured as the system clock and functions until the
primary clock is stable (the OST and PLL timers have
timed out). This is identical to Two-Speed Start-up
mode. Once the primary clock is stable, the INTRC
returns to its role as the FSCM source.
Note:
The same logic that prevents false
oscillator failure interrupts on POR or
wake from Sleep will also prevent the
detection of the oscillator’s failure to start
at all following these events. This can be
avoided by monitoring the OSTS bit and
using a timing routine to determine if the
oscillator is taking too long to start. Even
so, no oscillator failure interrupt will be
flagged.
As noted in Section 22.3.1 “Special Considerations
for Using Two-Speed Start-up”, it is also possible to
select another clock configuration and enter an
alternate power-managed mode, while waiting for the
primary system clock to become stable. When the new
Powered Managed mode is selected, the primary clock
is disabled.

Program Verification and
Code Protection
Each of the five blocks has three code protection bits
associated with them. They are:
The overall structure of the code protection on the
PIC18 Flash devices differs significantly from other
PICmicro® devices.
• Code-Protect bit (CPn)
• Write-Protect bit (WRTn)
• External Block Table Read bit (EBTRn)
The user program memory is divided into five blocks.
One of these is a boot block of 512 bytes. The
remainder of the memory is divided into four blocks on
binary boundaries.
Figure 22-5 shows the program memory organization
for 8- and 16-Kbyte devices, and the specific code
protection bit associated with each block. The actual
locations of the bits are summarized in Table 22-3.

PROGRAM MEMORY
CODE PROTECTION
Note:
The program memory may be read to or written from
any location using the table read and table write
instructions. The device ID may be read with table
reads. The configuration registers may be read and
written with the table read and table write instructions.
In normal Execution mode, the CPn bits have no direct
effect. CPn bits inhibit external reads and writes. A block
of user memory may be protected from table writes if the
WRTn configuration bit is ‘0’. The EBTRn bits control
table reads. For a block of user memory with the EBTRn
bit set to ‘0’, a table read instruction that executes from
within that block is allowed to read. A table read instruction that executes from a location outside of that block is
not allowed to read, and will result in reading ‘0’s.
Figures 22-6 through 22-8 illustrate table write and table
read protection.
FIGURE 22-6:
Code protection bits may only be written to
a ‘0’ from a ‘1’ state. It is not possible to
write a ‘1’ to a bit in the ‘0’ state. Code
protection bits are only set to ‘1’ by a full
chip erase or block erase function. The full
chip erase and block erase functions can
only be initiated via ICSP or an external
programmer.

22.5.2
DATA EEPROM
CODE PROTECTION
The entire data EEPROM is protected from external
reads and writes by two bits: CPD and WRTD. CPD
inhibits external reads and writes of data EEPROM.
WRTD inhibits external writes to data EEPROM. The
CPU can continue to read and write data EEPROM
regardless of the protection bit settings.
22.5.3
CONFIGURATION REGISTER
PROTECTION
The configuration registers can be write-protected. The
WRTC bit controls protection of the configuration
registers. In normal Execution mode, the WRTC bit is
readable only. WRTC can only be written via ICSP or
an external programmer.
22.6
ID Locations
Eight memory locations (200000h-200007h) are
designated as ID locations, where the user can store
checksum or other code identification numbers. These
locations are both readable and writable during normal
execution through the TBLRD and TBLWT instructions,
or during program/verify. The ID locations can be read
when the device is code-protected.
22.7
22.9
In-Circuit Debugger
When the DEBUG bit in configuration register
CONFIG4L is programmed to a ‘0’, the In-Circuit
Debugger functionality is enabled. This function allows
simple debugging functions when used with MPLAB®
IDE. When the microcontroller has this feature
enabled, some resources are not available for general
use. Table 22-4 shows which resources are required by
the background debugger.
TABLE 22-4:
Low-Voltage ICSP Programming
The LVP bit in Configuration Register 4L
(CONFIG4L<2>) enables Low-Voltage ICSP Programming (LVP). When LVP is enabled, the microcontroller
can be programmed without requiring high voltage
being applied to the MCLR/VPP pin, but the RB5/PGM
pin is then dedicated to controlling Program mode entry
and is not available as a general purpose I/O pin.
LVP is enabled in erased devices.
While programming using LVP, VDD is applied to the
MCLR/VPP pin as in normal Execution mode. To enter
Programming mode, VDD is applied to the PGM pin.
Note 1: High voltage programming is always
available, regardless of the state of the
LVP bit or the PGM pin, by applying VIHH
to the MCLR pin.
2: When Low-Voltage Programming is
enabled, the RB5 pin can no longer be
used as a general purpose I/O pin.
In-Circuit Serial Programming
PIC18F2331/2431/4331/4431 microcontrollers can be
serially programmed while in the end application circuit.
This is simply done with two lines for clock and data,
and three other lines for power, ground and the programming voltage. This allows customers to manufacture boards with unprogrammed devices, and then
program the microcontroller just before shipping the
product. This also allows the most recent firmware or a
custom firmware to be programmed.
22.8
To use the In-Circuit Debugger function of the microcontroller, the design must implement In-Circuit Serial
Programming connections to MCLR/VPP, VDD, VSS,
RB7 and RB6. This will interface to the In-Circuit
Debugger module available from Microchip or one of
the third party development tool companies.
3: When LVP is enabled, externally pull the
PGM pin to VSS to allow normal program
execution.
If Low-Voltage ICSP Programming mode will not be
used, the LVP bit can be cleared and RB5/PGM
becomes available as the digital I/O pin RB5. The LVP
bit may be set or cleared only when using standard high
voltage programming (VIHH applied to the MCLR/VPP
pin). Once LVP has been disabled, only the standard
high voltage programming is available and must be
used to program the device.
Memory that is not code-protected can be erased using
either a block erase, or erased row by row, then written
at any specified VDD. If code-protected memory is to be
erased, a block erase is required. If a block erase is to
be performed when using low-voltage programming,
the device must be supplied with VDD of 4.5V to 5.5V.

INSTRUCTION SET SUMMARY
The PIC18 instruction set adds many enhancements to
the previous PICmicro instruction sets, while maintaining an easy migration from these PICmicro instruction
sets.
Most instructions are a single program memory word
(16-bits), but there are three instructions that require
two program memory locations.
Each single-word instruction is a 16-bit word divided
into an OPCODE, which specifies the instruction type
and one or more operands, which further specify the
operation of the instruction.
The instruction set is highly orthogonal and is grouped
into four basic categories:
•
•
•
•
Byte-oriented operations
Bit-oriented operations
Literal operations
Control operations
The PIC18 instruction set summary in Table 23-2 lists
byte-oriented, bit-oriented, literal and control operations. Table 23-1 shows the OPCODE field descriptions.
Most byte-oriented instructions have three operands:
1.
2.
3.
The file register (specified by ‘f’)
The destination of the result
(specified by ‘d’)
The accessed memory
(specified by ‘a’)
The file register designator 'f' specifies which file
register is to be used by the instruction.
The destination designator ‘d’ specifies where the
result of the operation is to be placed. If 'd' is zero, the
result is placed in the WREG register. If 'd' is one, the
result is placed in the file register specified in the
instruction.
All bit-oriented instructions have three operands:
1.
2.
3.
The file register (specified by ‘f’)
The bit in the file register
(specified by ‘b’)
The accessed memory
(specified by ‘a’)
• A program memory address (specified by ‘n’)
• The mode of the Call or Return instructions
(specified by ‘s’)
• The mode of the table read and table write
instructions (specified by ‘m’)
• No operand required
(specified by ‘—’)
All instructions are a single word, except for three double word instructions. These three instructions were
made double word instructions so that all the required
information is available in these 32 bits. In the second
word, the 4 MSbs are 1’s. If this second word is
executed as an instruction (by itself), it will execute as
a NOP.
All single-word instructions are executed in a single
instruction cycle, unless a conditional test is true or the
program counter is changed as a result of the instruction. In these cases, the execution takes two instruction
cycles with the additional instruction cycle(s) executed
as a NOP.
The double word instructions execute in two instruction
cycles.
One instruction cycle consists of four oscillator periods.
Thus, for an oscillator frequency of 4 MHz, the normal
instruction execution time is 1 µs. If a conditional test is
true or the program counter is changed as a result of an
instruction, the instruction execution time is 2 µs. Twoword branch instructions (if true) would take 3 µs.
Figure 23-1 shows the general formats that the instructions can have.
All examples use the format ‘nnh’ to represent a hexadecimal number, where ‘h’ signifies a hexadecimal
digit.
The Instruction Set Summary, shown in Table 23-2,
lists the instructions recognized by the Microchip
Assembler (MPASMTM assembler). Section 23.2
“Instruction Set” provides a description of each
instruction.
23.1 READ-MODIFY-WRITE OPERATIONS
The bit field designator 'b' selects the number of the bit
affected by the operation, while the file register designator 'f' represents the number of the file in which the
bit is located.
The literal instructions may use some of the following
operands:
• A literal value to be loaded into a file register
(specified by ‘k’)
• The desired FSR register to load the literal value
into (specified by ‘f’)
• No operand required
(specified by ‘—’)
 2003 Microchip Technology Inc.
The control instructions may use some of the following
operands:
Any instruction that specifies a file register as part of
the instruction performs a Read-Modify-Write (R-M-W)
operation. The register is read, the data is modified,
and the result is stored according to either the instruction or the destination designator ‘d’. A read operation
is performed on a register even if the instruction writes
to that register.
For example, a "BCF PORTB,1" instruction will read
PORTB, clear bit 1 of the data, then write the result
back to PORTB. The read operation would have the
unintended result that any condition that sets the RBIF
flag would be cleared. The R-M-W operation may also
copy the level of an input pin to its corresponding output
latch.

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

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

- in-circuit debugger (sold separately)
• A full-featured editor with color coded context
• A multiple project manager
• Customizable data windows with direct edit of
contents
• High level source code debugging
• Mouse over variable inspection
• Extensive on-line help
The MPLAB IDE allows you to:
• Edit your source files (either assembly or C)

to PICmicro emulator and simulator tools
(automatically updates all project information)
• Debug using:
- source files (assembly or C)
- absolute listing file (mixed assembly and C)
- machine code
MPLAB IDE supports multiple debugging tools in a
single development paradigm, from the cost effective
simulators, through low cost in-circuit debuggers, to
full-featured emulators. This eliminates the learning
curve when upgrading to tools with increasing flexibility
and power.

24.6
The MPLAB C17 and MPLAB C18 Code Development
Systems are complete ANSI C compilers for
Microchip’s PIC17CXXX and PIC18CXXX family of
microcontrollers. These compilers provide powerful
integration capabilities, superior code optimization and
ease of use not found with other compilers.
For easy source level debugging, the compilers provide
symbol information that is optimized to the MPLAB IDE
debugger.
24.4
MPLINK Object Linker/
MPLIB Object Librarian
The MPLINK object linker combines relocatable
objects created by the MPASM assembler and the
MPLAB C17 and MPLAB C18 C compilers. It can link
relocatable objects from pre-compiled libraries, using
directives from a linker script.
The MPLIB object librarian manages the creation and
modification of library files of pre-compiled code. When
a routine from a library is called from a source file, only
the modules that contain that routine will be linked in
with the application. This allows large libraries to be
used efficiently in many different applications.
The object linker/library features include:
• Efficient linking of single libraries instead of many
smaller files
• Enhanced code maintainability by grouping
related modules together
• Flexible creation of libraries with easy module
listing, replacement, deletion and extraction

examined or modified and stimuli can be applied from
a file, or user defined key press, to any pin. The execution can be performed in Single-step, Execute-UntilBreak or Trace mode.
The MPLAB SIM simulator fully supports symbolic
debugging using the MPLAB C17 and MPLAB C18
C Compilers, as well as the MPASM assembler. The
software simulator offers the flexibility to develop and
debug code outside of the laboratory environment,
making it an excellent, economical software
development tool.
24.8

2: Voltage spikes below VSS at the MCLR/VPP 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/VPP pin, rather
than pulling this pin directly to VSS.
† NOTICE: Stresses above those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the

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 high-impedance state and tied to VDD or VSS, and all features that add delta
current disabled (such as WDT, Timer1 Oscillator, BOR, etc.).
The supply current is mainly a function of operating voltage, frequency and mode. Other factors, such as I/O pin loading
and switching rate, oscillator type and circuit, internal code execution pattern and temperature, also have an impact on
the current consumption.
The test conditions for all IDD measurements in active Operation mode are:
OSC1 = external square wave, from rail-to-rail; all I/O pins tri-stated, pulled to VDD;
MCLR = VDD; WDT enabled/disabled as specified.
For RC oscillator configurations, current through REXT is not included. The current through the resistor can be estimated
by the formula Ir = VDD/2REXT (mA) with REXT in kΩ.
Standard low cost 32 kHz crystals have an operating temperature range of -10°C to +70°C. Extended temperature
crystals are available at a much higher cost.

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 high-impedance state and tied to VDD or VSS, and all features that add delta
current disabled (such as WDT, Timer1 Oscillator, BOR, etc.).
The supply current is mainly a function of operating voltage, frequency and mode. Other factors, such as I/O pin loading
and switching rate, oscillator type and circuit, internal code execution pattern and temperature, also have an impact on
the current consumption.
The test conditions for all IDD measurements in active Operation mode are:
OSC1 = external square wave, from rail-to-rail; all I/O pins tri-stated, pulled to VDD;
MCLR = VDD; WDT enabled/disabled as specified.
For RC oscillator configurations, current through REXT is not included. The current through the resistor can be estimated
by the formula Ir = VDD/2REXT (mA) with REXT in kΩ.
Standard low cost 32 kHz crystals have an operating temperature range of -10°C to +70°C. Extended temperature
crystals are available at a much higher cost.

Shading of rows is to assist in readability of the table.
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 high-impedance state and tied to VDD or VSS, and all features that add delta
current disabled (such as WDT, Timer1 Oscillator, BOR, etc.).
The supply current is mainly a function of operating voltage, frequency and mode. Other factors, such as I/O pin loading
and switching rate, oscillator type and circuit, internal code execution pattern and temperature, also have an impact on
the current consumption.
The test conditions for all IDD measurements in active Operation mode are:
OSC1 = external square wave, from rail-to-rail; all I/O pins tri-stated, pulled to VDD;
MCLR = VDD; WDT enabled/disabled as specified.
For RC oscillator configurations, current through REXT is not included. The current through the resistor can be estimated
by the formula Ir = VDD/2REXT (mA) with REXT in kΩ.
Standard low cost 32 kHz crystals have an operating temperature range of -10°C to +70°C. Extended temperature
crystals are available at a much higher cost.

In RC oscillator configuration, the OSC1/CLKI pin is a Schmitt Trigger input. It is not recommended that the
PICmicro device be driven with an external clock while 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 current sourced by the pin.
Parameter is characterized but not tested.

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

After this period, the first clock

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

can start
Maximum pin capacitance = 10 pF for all I2C pins.
A Fast mode I2C bus device can be used in a Standard mode I2C bus system, but parameter #107 ≥ 250 ns
must then be met. This will automatically be the case if the device does not stretch the LOW period of the
SCL signal. If such a device does stretch the LOW period of the SCL signal, it must output the next data bit
to the SDA line, parameter #102 + parameter #107 = 1000 + 250 = 1250 ns (for 100 kHz mode) before the
SCL line is released.

Conversion time does not include acquisition time. See Section 20.0 “10-bit High-Speed Analog-to-Digital Converter
(A/D) Module” for a full discussion of acquisition time requirements.
In sequential modes, Tacq should be 12Tad or greater.
For VDD < 2.7V and temperature below 0°C, VAIN should be limited to range < VDD/2.
The A/D conversion result never decreases with an incraese in the input voltage, and has no missing codes.

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