PIC16F84 → PIC16F84A Migration
DEVICE MIGRATIONS
This document is intended to describe the functional differences and the electrical specification differences that are
present when migrating from one device to the next. Table 1-1 shows the considerations that must be taken into account
when migrating from the PIC16F84 to the PIC16F84A. Table 2 shows electrical and timing differences.
Note:
This device has been designed to perform to the parameters of its data sheet. It has been tested to an electrical specification designed to determine its conformance with these parameters. Due to process differences in the manufacture of this device, this device may have different performance characteristics than its
earlier version. These differences may cause this device to perform differently in your application than the
earlier version of this device.
Note:
The user should verify that the device oscillator starts and performs as expected. Adjusting the loading
capacitor values and/or the oscillator mode may be required.

Differences from PIC16F84
Oscillator
The PIC16F84 oscillator can run up to 10 MHz.
The PIC16F84A oscillator can run up to 20 MHz.
Legend:
H/W - Issues may exist with regard to the application circuit.
S/W - Issues may exist with regard to the user program.

OSCILLATOR
The PIC16F84A can use crystals up to 20 MHz, resulting in double the execution speed. No changes to the code, other
than for timing concerns, are required. No changes to the configuration word are required. The crystal loading capacitors
may need to be adjusted for the higher speed crystal, but verifying oscillator operation at the same speed is already
recommended for the transition from the PIC16F84 to the PIC16F84A.

The PICmicro family meets the specifications contained in the Microchip Data Sheet.
Microchip believes that its family of PICmicro microcontrollers is one of the most secure products 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 PICmicro microcontroller in a manner outside the operating specifications contained in the data sheet.
The person doing so may be engaged in theft of intellectual property.
Microchip is willing to work with the customer who is concerned about the integrity of their code.
