GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The PIC12C5XX from Microchip Technology is a family
of low-cost, high performance, 8-bit, fully static,
EPROM/ROM-based CMOS microcontrollers. It
employs a RISC architecture with only 33 single word/
single cycle instructions. All instructions are single
cycle (1 µs) except for program branches which take
two cycles. The PIC12C5XX delivers performance an
order of magnitude higher than its competitors in the
same price category. The 12-bit wide instructions are
highly symmetrical resulting in 2:1 code compression
over other 8-bit microcontrollers in its class. The easy
to use and easy to remember instruction set reduces
development time significantly.
The PIC12C5XX products are equipped with special
features that reduce system cost and power requirements. The Power-On Reset (POR) and Device Reset
Timer (DRT) eliminate the need for external reset circuitry. There are four oscillator configurations to
choose from, including INTRC internal oscillator mode
and the power-saving LP (Low Power) oscillator.
Power saving SLEEP mode, Watchdog Timer and code
protection features improve system cost, power and
reliability.
1.1
Applications
The PIC12C5XX series fits perfectly in applications
ranging from personal care appliances and security
systems to low-power remote transmitters/receivers.
The EPROM technology makes customizing application programs (transmitter codes, appliance settings,
receiver frequencies, etc.) extremely fast and convenient. The small footprint packages, for through hole or
surface mounting, make this microcontroller series perfect for applications with space limitations. Low-cost,
low-power, high performance, ease of use and I/O flexibility make the PIC12C5XX series very versatile even
in areas where no microcontroller use has been
considered before (e.g., timer functions, replacement
of “glue” logic and PLD’s in larger systems, coprocessor applications).
The PIC12C5XX are available in the cost-effective
One-Time-Programmable (OTP) versions which are
suitable for production in any volume. The customer
can take full advantage of Microchip’s price leadership
in OTP microcontrollers while benefiting from the
OTP’s flexibility.
The PIC12C5XX products are supported by a full-featured macro assembler, a software simulator, an in-circuit emulator, a ‘C’ compiler, fuzzy logic support tools,
a low-cost development programmer, and a full featured programmer. All the tools are supported on IBM
PC and compatible machines.

ARCHITECTURAL OVERVIEW
The high performance of the PIC12C5XX family can
be attributed to a number of architectural features
commonly found in RISC microprocessors. To begin
with, the PIC12C5XX uses a Harvard architecture in
which program and data are accessed on separate
buses. This improves bandwidth over traditional von
Neumann architecture where program and data are
fetched on the same bus. Separating program and
data memory further allows instructions to be sized
differently than the 8-bit wide data word. Instruction
opcodes are 12-bits wide making it possible to have all
single word instructions. A 12-bit wide program
memory access bus fetches a 12-bit instruction in a
single cycle. A two-stage pipeline overlaps fetch and
execution
of
instructions.
Consequently,
all
instructions (33) execute in a single cycle (1µs @
4MHz) except for program branches.
The PIC12C508 address 512 x 12 of program
memory, the PIC12C509 addresses 1K x 12 of
program memory. All program memory is internal.
The PIC12C5XX can directly or indirectly address its
register files and data memory. All special function
registers including the program counter are mapped in
the data memory. The PIC12C5XX has a highly
orthogonal (symmetrical) instruction set that makes it
possible to carry out any operation on any register
using any addressing mode. This symmetrical nature
and lack of ‘special optimal situations’ make
programming with the PIC12C5XX simple yet efficient.
In addition, the learning curve is reduced significantly.
 1996 Microchip Technology Inc.
The PIC12C5XX device contains an 8-bit ALU and
working register. The ALU is a general purpose
arithmetic unit. It performs arithmetic and Boolean
functions between data in the working register and any
register file.
The ALU is 8-bits wide and capable of addition,
subtraction, shift and logical operations. Unless
otherwise mentioned, arithmetic operations are two's
complement in nature. In two-operand instructions,
typically one operand is the W (working) register. The
other operand is either a file register or an immediate
constant. In single operand instructions, the operand
is either the W register or a file register.
The W register is an 8-bit working register used for
ALU operations. It is not an addressable register.
Depending on the instruction executed, the ALU may
affect the values of the Carry (C), Digit Carry (DC),
and Zero (Z) bits in the STATUS register. The C and
DC bits operate as a borrow and digit borrow out bit,
respectively, in subtraction. See the SUBWF and ADDWF
instructions for examples.
A simplified block diagram is shown in Figure 3-1, with
the corresponding device pins described in Table 3-1.

Clocking Scheme/Instruction Cycle
3.2
The clock input (OSC1/CLKIN pin) is internally divided
by four to generate four non-overlapping quadrature
clocks namely Q1, Q2, Q3 and Q4. Internally, the
program counter is incremented every Q1, and the
instruction is fetched from program memory and
latched into instruction register in Q4. It is decoded
and executed during the following Q1 through Q4. The
clocks and instruction execution flow is shown in
Figure 3-2 and Example 3-1.
Instruction Flow/Pipelining
An Instruction Cycle consists of four Q cycles (Q1, Q2,
Q3 and Q4). The instruction fetch and execute are
pipelined such that fetch takes one instruction cycle
while decode and execute takes another instruction
cycle. However, due to the pipelining, each instruction
effectively executes in one cycle. If an instruction
causes the program counter to change (e.g., GOTO)
then two cycles are required to complete the
instruction (Example 3-1).
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).

MEMORY ORGANIZATION
PIC12C5XX memory is organized into program memory and data memory. For devices with more than 512
bytes of program memory, a paging scheme is used.
Program memory pages are accessed using one STATUS register bit. For the PIC12C509 with a data memory register file of more than 32 registers, a banking
scheme is used. Data memory banks are accessed
using the File Select Register (FSR).

The special function registers include the TMR0
register, the Program Counter (PC), the Status
Register, the I/O registers (ports), and the File Select
Register (FSR). In addition, special purpose registers
are used to control the I/O port configuration and
prescaler options.
The general purpose registers are used for data and

STATUS Register
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).
This register contains the arithmetic status of the ALU,
the RESET status, and the page preselect bit for
program memories larger than 512 words.
It is recommended, therefore, that only BCF, BSF and
MOVWF instructions be used to alter the STATUS
register because these instructions do not affect the Z,
DC or C bits from the STATUS register. For other
instructions, which do affect STATUS bits, see Table 82, Instruction Set Summary.
The STATUS register can be the destination for any
instruction, as with any other register. If the STATUS
register is the destination for an instruction that affects
the Z, DC or C bits, then the write to these three bits is
disabled. These bits are set or cleared according to
the device logic. Furthermore, the TO and PD bits are
not writable. Therefore, the result of an instruction with
the STATUS register as destination may be different
than intended.

OPTION Register
Note that TRIS overrides OPTION control if GPPU is
enabled and GPWU is disabled.
The OPTION register is a 8-bit wide, write-only
register which contains various control bits to
configure the Timer0/WDT prescaler and Timer0.
Note:
By executing the OPTION instruction, the contents of
the W register will be transferred to the OPTION
register. A RESET sets the OPTION<7:0> bits.
If TRIS bit is set to ‘0’, the wake-up on
change and pull-up functions are disabled
for that pin.
Note:
If the TOCS bit is set to ‘1’, GP2 is forced
to be an input even if TRIS GP2 = ‘0’

Program Counter
4.5.1
EFFECTS OF RESET
As a program instruction is executed, the Program
Counter (PC) will contain the address of the next
program instruction to be executed. The PC value is
increased by one every instruction cycle, unless an
instruction changes the PC.
The Program Counter is set upon a RESET, which
means that the PC addresses the last location in the
last page i.e., the oscillator calibration instruction. After
executing MOVLW XX, the PC will roll over to location
00h, and begin executing user code.
For a GOTO instruction, bits 8:0 of the PC are provided
by the GOTO instruction word. The PC Latch (PCL) is
mapped to PC<7:0>. Bit 5 of the STATUS register
provides page information to bit 9 of the PC (Figure 46).
The STATUS register page preselect bits are cleared
upon a RESET, which means that page 0 is preselected.
For a CALL instruction, or any instruction where the
PCL is the destination, bits 7:0 of the PC again are
provided by the instruction word. However, PC<8>
does not come from the instruction word, but is always
cleared (Figure 4-6).
Instructions where the PCL is the destination, or
Modify PCL instructions, include MOVWF PC, ADDWF
PC, and BSF PC,5.
Note:
Because PC<8> is cleared in the CALL
instruction, or any Modify PCL instruction,
all subroutine calls or computed jumps are
limited to the first 256 locations of any program memory page (512 words long).

Therefore, upon a RESET, a GOTO instruction will
automatically cause the program to jump to page 0
until the value of the page bits is altered.
4.6
Stack
PIC12C5XX devices have a 12-bit wide hardware
push/pop stack.
A CALL instruction will push the current value of stack
1 into stack 2 and then push the current program
counter value, incremented by one, into stack level 1.
If more than two sequential CALL’s are executed, only
the most recent two return addresses are stored.
A RETLW instruction will pop the contents of stack level
1 into the program counter and then copy stack level 2
contents into level 1. If more than two sequential
RETLW’s are executed, the stack will be filled with the
address previously stored in level 2. Note that the
W register will be loaded with the literal value specified
in the instruction. This is particularly useful for the
implementation of data look-up tables within the
program memory.

The FSR is a 5-bit wide register. It is used in
conjunction with the INDF register to indirectly address
the data memory area.
The FSR<4:0> bits are used to select data memory
addresses 00h to 1Fh.
PIC12C508: Does not use banking. FSR<6:5> are
unimplemented and read as '1's.
Reading INDF itself indirectly (FSR = 0) will produce
00h. Writing to the INDF register indirectly results in a
no-operation (although STATUS bits may be affected).
PIC12C509: Uses FSR<5>. Selects between bank 0
and bank 1. FSR<6> is unimplemented, read as '1’ .
A simple program to clear RAM locations 10h-1Fh

I/O PORT
5.3
As with any other register, the I/O register can be
written and read under program control. However,
read instructions (e.g., MOVF GPIO,W) always read the
I/O pins independent of the pin’s input/output modes.
On RESET, all I/O ports are defined as input (inputs
are at hi-impedance) since the I/O control registers are
all set. GP0 and GP1 can be programmed in software
with weak pull-ups.
5.1
The equivalent circuit for an I/O port pin is shown in
Figure 5-1. All port pins, except GP3 which is input
only, may be used for both input and output
operations. For input operations these ports are nonlatching. Any input must be present until read by an
input instruction (e.g., MOVF GPIO,W). The outputs are
latched and remain unchanged until the output latch is
rewritten. To use a port pin as output, the
corresponding direction control bit in TRIS must be
cleared (= 0). For use as an input, the corresponding
TRIS bit must be set. Any I/O pin (except GP3) can be
programmed individually as input or output.
GPIO
GPIO is an 8-bit I/O register. Only the low order 6 bits
are used (GP5:GP0). Bits 7 and 6 are unimplemented
and read as '0's. Please note that GP3 is an input only
pin. The configuration word can set several I/O’s to
alternate functions. When acting as alternate functions
the pins will read as ‘0’ during port read. Pins GP0,
GP1, and GP3 can be configured with weak pull-ups
and also with wake-up on change. The wake-up on
change and weak pull-up functions are not pin
selectable. If pin 4 is configured as MCLR, weak pullup is always on and wake-up on change for this pin is
not set.

I/O Programming Considerations
5.4.1
BI-DIRECTIONAL I/O PORTS
Some instructions operate internally as read followed
by write operations. The BCF and BSF instructions, for
example, read the entire port into the CPU, execute
the bit operation and re-write the result. Caution must
be used when these instructions are applied to a port
where one or more pins are used as input/outputs. For
example, a BSF operation on bit5 of GPIO will cause
all eight bits of GPIO to be read into the CPU, bit5 to
be set and the GPIO value to be written to the output
latches. If another bit of GPIO is used as a bidirectional I/O pin (say bit0) and it is defined as an
input at this time, the input signal present on the pin
itself would be read into the CPU and rewritten to the
data latch of this particular pin, overwriting the
previous content. As long as the pin stays in the input
mode, no problem occurs. However, if bit0 is switched
into output mode later on, the content of the data latch
may now be unknown.
Example 5-1 shows the effect of two sequential readmodify-write instructions (e.g., BCF, BSF, etc.) on an
I/O port.
A pin actively outputting a high or a low should not be
driven from external devices at the same time in order
to change the level on this pin (“wired-or”, “wiredand”). The resulting high output currents may damage
the chip.

5.4.2
SUCCESSIVE OPERATIONS ON I/O
PORTS
The actual write to an I/O port happens at the end of
an instruction cycle, whereas for reading, the data
must be valid at the beginning of the instruction cycle
(Figure 5-2). Therefore, care must be exercised if a
write followed by a read operation is carried out on the
same I/O port. The sequence of instructions should
allow the pin voltage to stabilize (load dependent)
before the next instruction, which causes that file to be
read into the CPU, is executed. Otherwise, the
previous state of that pin may be read into the CPU
rather than the new state. When in doubt, it is better to
separate these instructions with a NOP or another
instruction not accessing this I/O port.

TIMER0 MODULE AND
TMR0 REGISTER
Counter mode is selected by setting the T0CS bit
(OPTION<5>). In this mode, Timer0 will increment
either on every rising or falling edge of pin T0CKI. The
T0SE bit (OPTION<4>) determines the source edge.
Clearing the T0SE bit selects the rising edge.
Restrictions on the external clock input are discussed
in detail in Section 6.1.
The Timer0 module has the following features:
• 8-bit timer/counter register, TMR0
- Readable and writable
• 8-bit software programmable prescaler
• Internal or external clock select
- Edge select for external clock
Figure 6-1 is a simplified block diagram of the Timer0
module.
Timer mode is selected by clearing the T0CS bit
(OPTION<5>). In timer mode, the Timer0 module will
increment every instruction cycle (without prescaler). If
TMR0 register is written, the increment is inhibited for
the following two cycles (Figure 6-2 and Figure 6-3).
The user can work around this by writing an adjusted
value to the TMR0 register.
FIGURE 6-1:
The prescaler may be used by either the Timer0
module or the Watchdog Timer, but not both. The
prescaler assignment is controlled in software by the
control bit PSA (OPTION<3>). Clearing the PSA bit
will assign the prescaler to Timer0. The prescaler is
not readable or writable. When the prescaler is
assigned to the Timer0 module, prescale values of
1:2, 1:4,..., 1:256 are selectable. Section 6.2 details
the operation of the prescaler.
A summary of registers associated with the Timer0
module is found in Table 6-1.

6.1
Using Timer0 with an External Clock
When a prescaler is used, the external clock input is
divided by the asynchronous ripple counter-type
prescaler so that the prescaler output is symmetrical.
For the external clock to meet the sampling
requirement, the ripple counter must be taken into
account. Therefore, it is necessary for T0CKI to have a
period of at least 4TOSC (and a small RC delay of
40 ns) divided by the prescaler value. The only
requirement on T0CKI high and low time is that they
do not violate the minimum pulse width requirement of
10 ns. Refer to parameters 40, 41 and 42 in the
electrical specification of the desired device.
When an external clock input is used for Timer0, it
must meet certain requirements. The external clock
requirement is due to internal phase clock (TOSC)
synchronization. Also, there is a delay in the actual
incrementing of Timer0 after synchronization.
6.1.1
EXTERNAL CLOCK SYNCHRONIZATION
When no prescaler is used, the external clock input is
the same as the prescaler output. The synchronization
of T0CKI with the internal phase clocks is
accomplished by sampling the prescaler output on the
Q2 and Q4 cycles of the internal phase clocks
(Figure 6-4). Therefore, it is necessary for T0CKI to be
high for at least 2TOSC (and a small RC delay of 20 ns)
and low for at least 2TOSC (and a small RC delay of
20 ns). Refer to the electrical specification of the
desired device.
6.1.2
TIMER0 INCREMENT DELAY
Since the prescaler output is synchronized with the
internal clocks, there is a small delay from the time the
external clock edge occurs to the time the Timer0
module is actually incremented. Figure 6-4 shows the
delay from the external clock edge to the timer
incrementing.
6.1.3
OPTION REGISTER EFFECT ON GP2 TRIS
If the option register is set to read TIMER0 from the pin,
the port is forced to an input regardless of the TRIS register setting.

Prescaler
EXAMPLE 6-1:
An 8-bit counter is available as a prescaler for the
Timer0 module, or as a postscaler for the Watchdog
Timer (WDT), respectively (Section 7.6). For simplicity,
this counter is being referred to as “prescaler”
throughout this data sheet. Note that the prescaler
may be used by either the Timer0 module or the WDT,
but not both. Thus, a prescaler assignment for the
Timer0 module means that there is no prescaler for
the WDT, and vice-versa.

To change prescaler from the WDT to the Timer0
module, use the sequence shown in Example 6-2. This
sequence must be used even if the WDT is disabled. A
CLRWDT instruction should be executed before switching
the prescaler.
The PSA and PS2:PS0 bits (OPTION<3:0>)
determine prescaler assignment and prescale ratio.
EXAMPLE 6-2:
When assigned to the Timer0 module, all instructions
writing to the TMR0 register (e.g., CLRF 1, MOVWF 1,
BSF 1,x, etc.) will clear the prescaler. When
assigned to WDT, a CLRWDT instruction will clear the
prescaler along with the WDT. The prescaler is neither
readable nor writable. On a RESET, the prescaler
contains all '0's.

The prescaler assignment is fully under software control

execution). To avoid an unintended device RESET, the
following instruction sequence (Example 6-1) must be
executed when changing the prescaler assignment from
Timer0 to the WDT.

SPECIAL FEATURES OF THE
CPU
The PIC12C5XX has a Watchdog Timer which can be
shut off only through configuration bit WDTE. It runs
off of its own RC oscillator for added reliability. If using
XT or LP selectable oscillator options, there is always
an 18 ms delay provided by the Device Reset Timer
(DRT), intended to keep the chip in reset until the
crystal oscillator is stable. If using INTRC or EXTRC
there is an 18 ms delay only on VDD power-up. With
this timer on-chip, most applications need no external
reset circuitry.
What sets a microcontroller apart from other
processors are special circuits to deal with the needs
of real-time applications. The PIC12C5XX family of
microcontrollers has a host of such features intended
to maximize system reliability, minimize cost through
elimination of external components, provide power
saving operating modes and offer code protection.
These features are:
The SLEEP mode is designed to offer a very low
current power-down mode. The user can wake-up
from SLEEP through a change on input pins or
through a Watchdog Timer time-out. Several oscillator
options are also made available to allow the part to fit
the application, including an internal 4 MHz oscillator.
The EXTRL RC oscillator option saves system cost
while the LP crystal option saves power. A set of
configuration bits are used to select various options.
• Oscillator selection
• Reset
- Power-On Reset (POR)
- Device Reset Timer (DRT)
- Wake-up from SLEEP on pin change
• Watchdog Timer (WDT)
• SLEEP
• Code protection
• ID locations
• In-circuit Serial Programming

Configuration Bits
The PIC12C5XX configuration word consists of 5 bits.
Configuration bits can be programmed to select
various device configurations. Two bits are for the
selection of the oscillator type, one bit is the Watchdog
Timer enable bit, and one bit is the MCLR enable bit.
One bit is the code protection bit (Figure 7-1).
OTP devices have the oscillator configuration
programmed at the factory and these parts are tested
accordingly (see “Product Identification System” on
the inside back cover).

EXTERNAL CRYSTAL OSCILLATOR
CIRCUIT
Either a prepackaged oscillator or a simple oscillator
circuit with TTL gates can be used as an external
crystal oscillator circuit. Prepackaged oscillators
provide a wide operating range and better stability. A
well-designed crystal oscillator will provide good
performance with TTL gates. Two types of crystal
oscillator circuits can be used: one with parallel
resonance, or one with series resonance.
Figure 7-4 shows implementation of a parallel
resonant oscillator circuit. The circuit is designed to
use the fundamental frequency of the crystal. The
74AS04 inverter performs the 180-degree phase shift
that a parallel oscillator requires. The 4.7 kΩ resistor
provides the negative feedback for stability. The 10 kΩ
potentiometers bias the 74AS04 in the linear region.
This circuit could be used for external oscillator
designs.

This circuit is also designed to use the fundamental

circuit. The 330 Ω resistors provide the negative
feedback to bias the inverters in their linear region.
FIGURE 7-5:
7.2.4
EXTERNAL RC OSCILLATOR
For timing insensitive applications, the RC device
option offers additional cost savings. The RC oscillator
frequency is a function of the supply voltage, the
resistor (Rext) and capacitor (Cext) values, and the
operating temperature. In addition to this, the oscillator
frequency will vary from unit to unit due to normal
process parameter variation. Furthermore, the
difference in lead frame capacitance between package
types will also affect the oscillation frequency,
especially for low Cext values. The user also needs to
take into account variation due to tolerance of external
R and C components used.
Figure 7-6 shows how the R/C combination is
connected to the PIC12C5XX. For Rext values below
2.2 kΩ, the oscillator operation may become unstable,
or stop completely. For very high Rext values
(e.g., 1 MΩ) the oscillator becomes sensitive to noise,
humidity and leakage. Thus, we recommend keeping
Rext between 3 kΩ and 100 kΩ.
Although the oscillator will operate with no external
capacitor (Cext = 0 pF), we recommend using values
above 20 pF for noise and stability reasons. With no or
small external capacitance, the oscillation frequency
can vary dramatically due to changes in external
capacitances, such as PCB trace capacitance or
package lead frame capacitance.
The Electrical Specifications sections show RC
frequency variation from part to part due to normal
process variation. The variation is larger for larger R
(since leakage current variation will affect RC
frequency more for large R) and for smaller C (since
variation of input capacitance will affect RC frequency
more).
Also, see the Electrical Specifications sections for
variation of oscillator frequency due to VDD for given
Rext/Cext values as well as frequency variation due to
operating temperature for given R, C, and VDD values.

INTERNAL 4 MHZ RC OSCILLATOR
The internal RC oscillator provides a fixed 4 MHz (nominal) system clock.
In addition, a calibration instruction is programmed into
the top of memory which indicates the calibration value
for the internal RC oscillator. This value, OSCCAL, is
programmed as a MOVLW XX instruction where XX is the
calibration value, and is placed at the reset vector. This
will load the W register with the calibration value upon
reset and the PC will then roll over to 0x000. The user
then has the option of writing the value to the OSCCAL
Register (05h) or ignoring it.
TABLE 7-3:
Some registers are not reset in any way; they are
unknown on POR and unchanged in any other reset.
Most other registers are reset to “reset state” on poweron reset (POR), on MCLR or WDT reset during normal
operation . They are not affected by a WDT reset during
SLEEP or MCLR reset during SLEEP, since these
resets are viewed as resumption of normal operation.
The exceptions to this are TO, PD, and GPWUF bits.
They are set or cleared differently in different reset situations. These bits are used in software to determine
the nature of reset. See Table 7-3 for a full description
of reset states of all registers.

MCLR ENABLE
This configuration bit when unprogrammed (left in the
‘1’ state) enables the external MCLR function. When
programmed, the MCLR function is tied to the internal
VDD, and the pin is assigned to be a GPIO. See
Figure 7-7.
FIGURE 7-7:
MCLR SELECT
A power-up example where MCLR is tied to VSS is
shown in Figure 7-9. VDD is allowed to rise and
stabilize before bringing MCLR high. The chip will
actually come out of reset TDRT msec after MCLR
goes high.
MCLRE
WEAK
PULL-UP
GP3/MCLR/VPP
7.4
The Power-On Reset circuit and the Device Reset
Timer (Section 7.5) circuit are closely related. On
power-up, the reset latch is set and the DRT is reset.
The DRT timer begins counting once it detects MCLR
to be high. After the time-out period, which is typically
18 ms, it will reset the reset latch and thus end the onchip reset signal.
INTERNAL MCLR
Power-On Reset (POR)
The PIC12C5XX family incorporates on-chip PowerOn Reset (POR) circuitry which provides an internal
chip reset for most power-up situations.
A Power-on Reset pulse is generated on-chip when
VDD rise is detected (in the range of 1.5V - 2.1V). To
take advantage of the POR, tie the MCLR pin directly
to VDD. An internal weak pull-up resistor is implemented using a transistor. Refer to Table 10-5 for the
pull-up resistor ranges. This will eliminate external RC
components usually needed to create a Power-on
Reset. A maximum rise time for VDD is specified. See
Electrical Specifications for details.
When the device starts normal operation (exits the
reset condition), device operating parameters (voltage,
frequency, temperature, ...) must be met to ensure
operation. If these conditions are not met, the device
must be held in reset until the operating parameters are
met.
In Figure 7-10, the on-chip Power-On Reset feature is
being used (MCLR and VDD are tied together). The
VDD is stable before the start-up timer times out and
there is no problem in getting a proper reset. However,
Figure 7-11 depicts a problem situation where VDD
rises too slowly. The time between when the DRT
senses a high on the GP3/MCLR/VPP pin, and when
the GP3/MCLR/VPP pin (and VDD) actually reach their
full value, is too long. In this situation, when the startup timer times out, VDD has not reached the VDD (min)
value and the chip is, therefore, not guaranteed to
function correctly. For such situations, we recommend
that external RC circuits be used to achieve longer
POR delay times (Figure 7-10).
Note:
When the device starts normal operation
(exits the reset condition), device operating parameters (voltage, frequency, temperature, etc.) must be meet to ensure
operation. If these conditions are not met,
the device must be held in reset until the
operating conditions are met.
For additional information refer to Application Notes
“Power-Up Considerations” - AN522 and “Power-up
Trouble Shooting” - AN607.

7.5
Device Reset Timer (DRT)
7.6
In the PIC12C5XX, the DRT runs any time the device
is powered up. DRT runs from RESET only in XT and
LP modes. It is disabled from RESET in INTRC and
EXTRC modes.
The Device Reset Timer (DRT) provides a fixed 18 ms
nominal time-out on reset. The DRT operates on an
internal RC oscillator. The processor is kept in RESET
as long as the DRT is active. The DRT delay allows
VDD to rise above VDD min., and for the oscillator to
stabilize.
Oscillator circuits based on crystals or ceramic
resonators require a certain time after power-up to
establish a stable oscillation. The on-chip DRT keeps
the device in a RESET condition for approximately 18
ms after the voltage on the GP3/MCLR/VPP pin has
reached a logic high (VIHMC) level. Thus, external RC
networks connected to the MCLR input are not
required in most cases, allowing for savings in costsensitive and/or space restricted applications.
Watchdog Timer (WDT)
The Watchdog Timer (WDT) is a free running on-chip
RC oscillator which does not require any external
components. This RC oscillator is separate from the
external RC oscillator of the GP5/OSC1/CLKIN pin
and the internal 4 MHz oscillator. That means that the
WDT will run even if the clock on the GP5/OSC1/
CLKIN and GP4/OSC2 pins have been stopped, for
example, by execution of a SLEEP instruction. During
normal operation or SLEEP, a WDT reset or wake-up
reset generates a device RESET.
The TO bit (STATUS<4>) will be cleared upon a
Watchdog Timer reset.
The WDT can be permanently disabled by
programming the configuration bit WDTE as a '0'
(Section 7.1). Refer to the PIC12C5XX Programming
Specifications to determine how to access the
configuration word.
The Device Reset time delay will vary from chip to chip
due to VDD, temperature, and process variation. See
AC parameters for details.
The DRT will also be triggered upon a Watchdog
Timer time-out (only in XT and LP modes). This is
particularly important for applications using the WDT
to wake from SLEEP mode automatically.

7.6.2
WDT PERIOD
WDT PROGRAMMING CONSIDERATIONS
The CLRWDT instruction clears the WDT and the
postscaler, if assigned to the WDT, and prevents it
from timing out and generating a device RESET.
The WDT has a nominal time-out period of 18 ms,
(with no prescaler). If a longer time-out period is
desired, a prescaler with a division ratio of up to 1:128
can be assigned to the WDT (under software control)
by writing to the OPTION register. Thus, time-out a
period of a nominal 2.3 seconds can be realized.
These periods vary with temperature, VDD and part-topart process variations (see DC specs).
The SLEEP instruction resets the WDT and the
postscaler, if assigned to the WDT. This gives the
maximum SLEEP time before a WDT wake-up reset.
Under worst case conditions (VDD = Min., Temperature
= Max., max. WDT prescaler), it may take several
seconds before a WDT time-out occurs.

always program the upper 8 bits as '1's.
It should be noted that a RESET generated by a WDT
time-out does not drive the GP3/MCLR/VPP pin low.
For lowest current consumption while powered down,
the T0CKI input should be at VDD or VSS and the GP3/
MCLR/VPP pin must be at a logic high level (VIHMC) if
MCLR is enabled.
7.9.2
WAKE-UP FROM SLEEP
The device can wake-up from SLEEP through one of
the following events:
1.
2.
3.
An external reset input on GP3/MCLR/VPP pin.
A Watchdog Timer time-out reset (if WDT was
enabled).
A change on input pin GP0, GP1, or GP3
These events cause a device reset. The TO, PD, and
GPWUF bits can be used to determine the cause of
device reset.. The TO bit is cleared if a WDT time-out
occurred (and caused wake-up). The PD bit, which is
set on power-up, is cleared when SLEEP is invoked.
The GPWUF bit indicates a change in state while in
SLEEP at pins GP0, GP1, or GP3 (since the last time
there was a file or bit operation on GP port).
Caution: Right before entering SLEEP, read the
input pins. When in SLEEP, wake up
occurs when the values at the pins change
from the state they were in at the last
reading. If a wake-up on change occurs
and the pins are not read before
reentering SLEEP, a wake up will occur
immediately even if no pins change while
in SLEEP mode.
The WDT is cleared when the device wakes from
sleep, regardless of the wake-up source.

In-Circuit Serial Programming
The PIC12C5XX 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.
The device is placed into a program/verify mode by
holding the GP1 and GP0 pins low while raising the
MCLR (VPP) pin from VIL to VIHH (see programming
specification). GP1 becomes the programming clock
and GP0 becomes the programming data. Both GP1
and GP0 are Schmitt Trigger inputs in this mode.

After reset, a 6-bit command is then supplied to the
device. Depending on the command, 14-bits of program data are then supplied to or from the device,

INSTRUCTION SET SUMMARY
Each PIC12C5XX instruction is a 12-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 PIC12C5XX
instruction set summary in Table 8-2 groups the
instructions into byte-oriented, bit-oriented, and literal
and control operations. Table 8-1 shows the opcode
field descriptions.
For byte-oriented instructions, 'f' represents a file
register designator and 'd' represents a destination
designator. The file register designator is used to
specify which one of the 32 file registers is to be used
by the instruction.
The destination designator specifies where the result
of the operation is to be placed. If 'd' is '0', the result is
placed in the W register. If 'd' is '1', the result is placed
in the file register specified in the instruction.
For bit-oriented instructions, 'b' represents a bit field
designator which selects the number of the bit affected
by the operation, while 'f' represents the number of the
file in which the bit is located.
For literal and control operations, 'k' represents an
8 or 9-bit constant or literal value.
TABLE 8-1:
Working register (accumulator)
b
Bit address within an 8-bit file register
k
Literal field, constant data or label
x
Don't care location (= 0 or 1)
The assembler will generate code with x = 0. It is
the recommended form of use for compatibility
with all Microchip software tools.

OPCODE FIELD
DESCRIPTIONS
Field
All instructions are executed within a single instruction
cycle, unless a conditional test is true or the program
counter is changed as a result of an instruction. In this
case, the execution takes 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.

Note 1: The 9th bit of the program counter will be forced to a '0' by any instruction that writes to the PC except forGOTO.
(Section 4.5)
2: When an I/O register is modified as a function of itself (e.g. MOVF GPIO, 1), 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'.
3: The instruction TRIS f, where f = 5, 6, or 7 causes the contents of the W register to be written to the tristate
latches of GPIO. A '1' forces the pin to a hi-impedance state and disables the output buffers.
4: If this instruction is executed on the TMR0 register (and, where applicable, d = 1), the prescaler will be cleared
(if assigned to TMR0).

Note 1: Power Dissipation is calculated as follows: PDIS = VDD x {IDD - ∑ IOH} + ∑ {(VDD-VOH) x IOH} + ∑(VOL x IOL)
Note 2: Voltage spikes below Vss at the MCLR pin, inducing currents greater than 80 mA may cause latch-up. Thus,
a series resistor of 50 to 100W should be used when applying a low level to the MCLR pin rather than pulling
this pin directly to Vss.
†NOTICE:
Stresses above those listed under "Maximum Ratings" may cause permanent damage to the device.
This is a stress rating only and functional operation of the device at those or any other conditions above those
indicated in the operation listings of this specification is not implied. Exposure to maximum rating conditions for
extended periods may affect device reliability.

* These parameters are characterized but not tested.
Note 1: Data in the Typical (“Typ”) column is based on characterization results at 25°C. This data is for design guidance only and is not tested.
2: This is the limit to which VDD can be lowered in SLEEP mode without losing RAM data.
3: The supply current is mainly a function of the operating voltage and frequency. Other factors such as bus
loading, oscillator type, bus rate, internal code execution pattern, and temperature also have an impact on
the current consumption.
a) The test conditions for all IDD measurements in active operation mode are:
OSC1 = external square wave, from rail-to-rail; all I/O pins tristated, pulled to
Vss, T0CKI = VDD, MCLR = VDD; WDT enabled/disabled as specified.
b) For standby current measurements, the conditions are the same, except that
the device is in SLEEP mode.
4: Does not include current through Rext. The current through the resistor can be estimated by the
formula: IR = VDD/2Rext (mA) with Rext in kOhm.
5: The power down current in SLEEP mode does not depend on the oscillator type. Power down current is measured with the part in SLEEP mode, with all I/O pins in hi-impedance state and tied to VDD or VSS.

* These parameters are characterized but not tested.
Note 1: Data in the Typical (“Typ”) column is based on characterization results at 25°C. This data is for design guidance only and is not tested.
2: The leakage current on the MCLR/VPP 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
voltage.
3: Negative current is defined as coming out of the pin.
4: For PIC12C5XX devices, the OSC1/CLKIN pin is a Schmitt Trigger input. It is not recommended that the
PIC12C5XX be driven with external clock in RC mode.
5: The user may use the better of the two specifications.

* These parameters are characterized but not tested.
Note 1: Data in the Typical (“Typ”) column is at 5V, 25°C unless otherwise stated. These parameters are for design
guidance only and are not tested.
2: 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.
When an external clock input is used, the “max” cycle time limit is “DC” (no clock) for all devices.
3: Instruction cycle period (TCY) equals four times the input oscillator time base period.

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

ON-LINE SUPPORT
Microchip provides two methods of on-line support.
These are the Microchip BBS and the Microchip World
Wide Web (WWW) site.
Use Microchip's Bulletin Board Service (BBS) to get
current information and help about Microchip products.
Microchip provides the BBS communication channel
for you to use in extending your technical staff with
microcontroller and memory experts.
To provide you with the most responsive service possible, the Microchip systems team monitors the BBS,
posts the latest component data and software tool
updates, provides technical help and embedded systems insights, and discusses how Microchip products
provide project solutions.
The web site, like the BBS, is used by Microchip as a
means to make files and information easily available to
customers. To view the site, the user must have access
to the Internet and a web browser, such as Netscape or
Microsoft Explorer. Files are also available for FTP
download from our FTP site.
Connecting to the Microchip Internet Web Site
The Microchip web site is available by using your
favorite Internet browser to attach to:
www.microchip.com
The file transfer site is available by using an FTP service to connect to:
ftp.mchip.com/biz/mchip
The web site and file transfer site provide a variety of
services. Users may download files for the latest
Development Tools, Data Sheets, Application Notes,
User's Guides, Articles and Sample Programs. A variety of Microchip specific business information is also
available, including listings of Microchip sales offices,
distributors and factory representatives. Other data
available for consideration is:
• Latest Microchip Press Releases
• Technical Support Section with Frequently Asked
Questions
• Design Tips
• Device Errata
• Job Postings
• Microchip Consultant Program Member Listing
• Links to other useful web sites related to
Microchip Products
Connecting to the Microchip BBS
Connect worldwide to the Microchip BBS using either
the Internet or the CompuServe communications network.
Internet:
You can telnet or ftp to the Microchip BBS at the
address:
mchipbbs.microchip.com
CompuServe Communications Network:
When using the BBS via the Compuserve Network,
in most cases, a local call is your only expense.
The Microchip BBS connection does not use CompuServe
membership services, therefore you do not need
CompuServe membership to join Microchip's BBS.
There is no charge for connecting to the Microchip BBS.
 1996 Microchip Technology Inc.
The procedure to connect will vary slightly from country
to country. Please check with your local CompuServe
agent for details if you have a problem. CompuServe
service allow multiple users various baud rates
depending on the local point of access.
The following connect procedure applies in most locations.
1. Set your modem to 8-bit, No parity, and One stop
(8N1). This is not the normal CompuServe setting
which is 7E1.
2. Dial your local CompuServe access number.
3. Depress the <Enter> key and a garbage string will
appear because CompuServe is expecting a 7E1
setting.
4. Type +, depress the <Enter> key and “Host Name:”
will appear.
5. Type MCHIPBBS, depress the <Enter> key and you
will be connected to the Microchip BBS.
In the United States, to find the CompuServe phone
number closest to you, set your modem to 7E1 and dial
(800) 848-4480 for 300-2400 baud or (800) 331-7166
for 9600-14400 baud connection. After the system
responds with “Host Name:”, type NETWORK, depress
the <Enter> key and follow CompuServe's directions.
For voice information (or calling from overseas), you
may call (614) 723-1550 for your local CompuServe
number.
Microchip regularly uses the Microchip BBS to distribute
technical information, application notes, source code,
errata sheets, bug reports, and interim patches for
Microchip systems software products. For each SIG, a
moderator monitors, scans, and approves or disapproves files submitted to the SIG. No executable files
are accepted from the user community in general to
limit the spread of computer viruses.
Systems Information and Upgrade Hot Line
The Systems Information and Upgrade Line provides
system users a listing of the latest versions of all of
Microchip's development systems software products.
Plus, this line provides information on how customers
can receive any currently available upgrade kits.The
Hot Line Numbers are:
1-800-755-2345 for U.S. and most of Canada, and
1-602-786-7302 for the rest of the world.
