DEVICE OVERVIEW
This document contains device-specific information for
the following devices:
• PIC18F1230
• PIC18F1330
• PIC18LF1230
• PIC18LF1330
This family offers the advantages of all PIC18 microcontrollers – namely, high computational performance at
an economical price – with the addition of highendurance Enhanced Flash program memory. On top of
these features, the PIC18F1230/1330 family introduces
design enhancements that make these microcontrollers
a logical choice for many high-performance, power
control and motor control applications.
Peripheral highlights include:
• 14-bit resolution Power Control PWM module
(PCPWM) with programmable dead-time insertion
The PCPWM can generate up to six complementary
PWM outputs with dead-band time insertion. Overdrive
current is detected by off-chip analog comparators or
the digital Fault input (FLTA).
PIC18F1230/1330 devices also feature Flash program
memory and an internal RC oscillator.

1.1.2
MULTIPLE OSCILLATOR OPTIONS
AND FEATURES
All of the devices in the PIC18F1230/1330 family offer
ten 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),
as well as a range of six user-selectable clock
frequencies, between 125 kHz to 4 MHz, for a total of
eight clock frequencies. This option frees the two
oscillator pins for use as additional general
purpose I/Os.
• A Phase Lock Loop (PLL) frequency multiplier,
available to both the High-Speed Crystal and Internal
Oscillator modes, which allows clock speeds of up to
40 MHz. Used with the internal oscillator, the PLL
gives users a complete selection of clock speeds,
from 31 kHz to 32 MHz, all without using an external
crystal or clock circuit.
All of the devices in the PIC18F1230/1330 family incorporate a range of features that can significantly reduce
power consumption during operation. Key items
include:
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:
• 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 still
active. In these states, power consumption can be
reduced even further, to as little as 4% of normal
operation requirements.
• 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.
• Low Consumption in Key Modules: The power
requirements for both Timer1 and the Watchdog
Timer are minimized. See Section 23.0 “Electrical
Characteristics” for values.
• 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.

PIC18F1230/1330
1.2
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
40 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.
• Extended Instruction Set: The PIC18F1230/1330
family introduces an optional extension to the PIC18
instruction set, which adds eight new instructions
and an Indexed Addressing mode. This extension,
enabled as a device configuration option, has been
specifically designed to optimize re-entrant
application code originally developed in high-level
languages, such as C.
• Power Control PWM Module: This module
provides up to six 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 Addressable USART: This serial
communication module is capable of standard
RS-232 operation and provides support for the
LIN/J2602 bus protocol. Other enhancements
include automatic Baud Rate Detection and a 16-bit
Baud Rate Generator for improved resolution. When
the microcontroller is using the internal oscillator
block, the EUSART provides stable operation for
applications that talk to the outside world without
using an external crystal (or its accompanying
power requirement).
• 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.
• Extended Watchdog Timer (WDT): This enhanced
version incorporates a 16-bit prescaler, allowing an
extended time-out range that is stable across
operating voltage and temperature. See
Section 23.0 “Electrical Characteristics” for
time-out periods.

Flash program memory (4 Kbytes
PIC18F1230, 8 Kbytes for PIC18F1330).
for
All other features for devices in this family are identical.
These are summarized in Table 1-1.
A block diagram of the PIC18F1220/1320 device architecture is provided in Figure 1-1. The pinouts for this
device family are listed in Table 1-2.
Like all Microchip PIC18 devices, members of the
PIC18F1230/1330 family are available as both standard and low-voltage devices. Standard devices with
Enhanced Flash memory, designated with an “F” in the
part number (such as PIC18F1330), accommodate an
operating VDD range of 4.2V to 5.5V. Low-voltage
parts, designated by “LF” (such as PIC18LF1330),
function over an extended VDD range of 2.0V to 5.5V.

PIC18F1230/1330
2.2
2.2.1
Power Supply Pins
DECOUPLING CAPACITORS
The use of decoupling capacitors on every pair of
power supply pins, such as VDD, VSS, AVDD and
AVSS, is required.
Consider the following criteria when using decoupling
capacitors:
• Value and type of capacitor: A 0.1 F (100 nF),
10-20V capacitor is recommended. The capacitor
should be a low-ESR device, with a resonance
frequency in the range of 200 MHz and higher.
Ceramic capacitors are recommended.
• Placement on the printed circuit board: The
decoupling capacitors should be placed as close
to the pins as possible. It is recommended to
place the capacitors on the same side of the
board as the device. If space is constricted, the
capacitor can be placed on another layer on the
PCB using a via; however, ensure that the trace
length from the pin to the capacitor is no greater
than 0.25 inch (6 mm).
• Handling high-frequency noise: If the board is
experiencing high-frequency noise (upward of
tens of MHz), add a second ceramic type capacitor in parallel to the above described decoupling
capacitor. The value of the second capacitor can
be in the range of 0.01 F to 0.001 F. Place this
second capacitor next to each primary decoupling
capacitor. In high-speed circuit designs, consider
implementing a decade pair of capacitances as
close to the power and ground pins as possible
(e.g., 0.1 F in parallel with 0.001 F).
• Maximizing performance: On the board layout
from the power supply circuit, run the power and
return traces to the decoupling capacitors first,
and then to the device pins. This ensures that the
decoupling capacitors are first in the power chain.
Equally important is to keep the trace length
between the capacitor and the power pins to a
minimum, thereby reducing PCB trace
inductance.
DS39758D-page 18
2.2.2
TANK CAPACITORS
On boards with power traces running longer than
six inches in length, it is suggested to use a tank capacitor for integrated circuits, including microcontrollers, to
supply a local power source. The value of the tank
capacitor should be determined based on the trace
resistance that connects the power supply source to
the device, and the maximum current drawn by the
device in the application. In other words, select the tank
capacitor so that it meets the acceptable voltage sag at
the device. Typical values range from 4.7 F to 47 F.
2.2.3
CONSIDERATIONS WHEN USING
BOR
When the Brown-out Reset (BOR) feature is enabled,
a sudden change in VDD may result in a spontaneous
BOR event. This can happen when the microcontroller
is operating under normal operating conditions, regardless of what the BOR set point has been programmed
to, and even if VDD does not approach the set point.
The precipitating factor in these BOR events is a rise or
fall in VDD with a slew rate faster than 0.15V/s.
An application that incorporates adequate decoupling
between the power supplies will not experience such
rapid voltage changes. Additionally, the use of an
electrolytic tank capacitor across VDD and VSS, as
described above, will be helpful in preventing high slew
rate transitions.
If the application has components that turn on or off,
and share the same VDD circuit as the microcontroller,
the BOR can be disabled in software by using the
SBOREN bit before switching the component. Afterwards, allow a small delay before re-enabling the BOR.
By doing this, it is ensured that the BOR is disabled
during the interval that might cause high slew rate
changes of VDD.
Note:
Not all devices incorporate software BOR
control. See Section 5.0 “Reset” for
device-specific information.
 2009 Microchip Technology Inc.
PIC18F1230/1330
2.3
Master Clear (MCLR) Pin
The MCLR pin provides two specific device
functions: Device Reset, and Device Programming
and Debugging. If programming and debugging are
not required in the end application, a direct
connection to VDD may be all that is required. The
addition of other components, to help increase the
application’s resistance to spurious Resets from
voltage sags, may be beneficial. A typical
configuration is shown in Figure 2-1. Other circuit
designs may be implemented, depending on the
application’s requirements.
During programming and debugging, the resistance
and capacitance that can be added to the pin must be
considered. Device programmers and debuggers drive
the MCLR pin. Consequently, specific voltage levels
(VIH and VIL) and fast signal transitions must not be
adversely affected. Therefore, specific values of R1
and C1 will need to be adjusted based on the
application and PCB requirements. For example, it is
recommended that the capacitor, C1, be isolated from
the MCLR pin during programming and debugging
operations by using a jumper (Figure 2-2). The jumper
is replaced for normal run-time operations.
Any components associated with the MCLR pin
should be placed within 0.25 inch (6 mm) of the pin.
FIGURE 2-2:
EXAMPLE OF MCLR PIN
CONNECTIONS
2.4
ICSP Pins
The PGC and PGD pins are used for In-Circuit Serial
Programming™ (ICSP™) and debugging purposes. It
is recommended to keep the trace length between the
ICSP connector and the ICSP pins on the device as
short as possible. If the ICSP connector is expected to
experience an ESD event, a series resistor is recommended, with the value in the range of a few tens of
ohms, not to exceed 100Ω.
Pull-up resistors, series diodes, and capacitors on the
PGC and PGD pins are not recommended as they will
interfere with the programmer/debugger communications to the device. If such discrete components are an
application requirement, they should be removed from
the circuit during programming and debugging. Alternatively, refer to the AC/DC characteristics and timing
requirements information in the respective device
Flash programming specification for information on
capacitive loading limits and pin input voltage high (VIH)
and input low (VIL) requirements.
For device emulation, ensure that the “Communication
Channel Select” (i.e., PGCx/PGDx pins) programmed
into the device matches the physical connections for
the ICSP to the Microchip debugger/emulator tool.
For more information on available Microchip
development tools connection requirements, refer to

FIGURE 2-3:
Many microcontrollers have options for at least two
oscillators: a high-frequency primary oscillator and a
low-frequency
secondary
oscillator
(refer to
Section 3.0 “Oscillator Configurations” for details).
The oscillator circuit should be placed on the same
side of the board as the device. Place the oscillator
circuit close to the respective oscillator pins with no
more than 0.5 inch (12 mm) between the circuit
components and the pins. The load capacitors should
be placed next to the oscillator itself, on the same side
of the board.
Use a grounded copper pour around the oscillator circuit to isolate it from surrounding circuits. The
grounded copper pour should be routed directly to the
MCU ground. Do not run any signal traces or power
traces inside the ground pour. Also, if using a two-sided
board, avoid any traces on the other side of the board
where the crystal is placed.

Layout suggestions are shown in Figure 2-4. In-line

that completely encompasses the oscillator pins. With
fine-pitch packages, it is not always possible to completely surround the pins and components. A suitable
solution is to tie the broken guard sections to a mirrored
ground layer. In all cases, the guard trace(s) must be
returned to ground.
In planning the application’s routing and I/O assignments, ensure that adjacent port pins and other signals
in close proximity to the oscillator are benign (i.e., free
of high frequencies, short rise and fall times, and other
similar noise).

See the notes following this table for additional

Note 1: Higher capacitance increases the stability

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

External Clock Input
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 3-3 shows the pin connections for the EC
Oscillator mode.

For timing insensitive applications, the “RC” and
“RCIO” device options offer additional cost savings.
The actual oscillator frequency is a function of several
factors:
• supply voltage
• values of the external resistor (REXT) and
capacitor (CEXT)
• operating temperature
• normal manufacturing variation
• difference in lead frame capacitance between
package types (especially for low CEXT values)
• variations within the tolerance of limits of REXT
and CEXT
In the RC Oscillator mode, the oscillator frequency

option for users who wish to use a lower frequency
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 or users who require higher
clock speeds from an internal oscillator.
3.5.1
Given the same device, operating voltage and
temperature and component values, there will also be
unit-to-unit frequency variations. These are due to
factors such as:
FIGURE 3-5:
PLL Frequency Multiplier
HSPLL OSCILLATOR MODE
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 PLLEN bit is not
available in this oscillator mode.
The PLL is only available to the crystal oscillator when
the FOSC3:FOSC0 Configuration bits are programmed
for HSPLL mode (= 0110).

Internal Oscillator Block
The PIC18F1230/1330 devices include an internal
oscillator block which generates two different clock
signals; either can be used as the microcontroller’s clock
source. This may 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 device clock. It
also drives a postscaler, which can provide a range of
clock frequencies from 31 kHz to 4 MHz. The INTOSC
output is enabled when a clock frequency from 125 kHz
to 8 MHz is selected.
The other clock source is the internal RC oscillator
(INTRC), which provides a nominal 31 kHz output.
INTRC is enabled if it is selected as the device clock
source; it is also enabled automatically 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 20.0 “Special Features of the CPU”.
The clock source frequency (INTOSC direct, INTRC
direct or INTOSC postscaler) is selected by configuring
the IRCF bits of the OSCCON register (page 28).
3.6.1
INTIO MODES
Using the internal oscillator as the clock source
eliminates 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.
3.6.2
INTOSC OUTPUT FREQUENCY
The internal oscillator block is calibrated at the factory
to produce an INTOSC output frequency of 8.0 MHz.
The INTRC oscillator operates independently of the
INTOSC source. Any changes in INTOSC across
voltage and temperature are not necessarily reflected
by changes in INTRC and vice versa.
3.6.3
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 3-1). The tuning sensitivity is
constant throughout the tuning range.
DS39758D-page 24
When the OSCTUNE register is modified, the INTOSC
frequency will begin shifting to the new frequency.
Code execution continues during this shift. There is no
indication that the shift has occurred.
The OSCTUNE register also implements the INTSRC
and PLLEN bits, which control certain features of the
internal oscillator block. The INTSRC bit allows users
to select which internal oscillator provides the clock
source when the 31 kHz frequency option is selected.
This is covered in greater detail in Section 3.7.1
“Oscillator Control Register”.
The PLLEN bit controls the operation of the frequency
multiplier, PLL, in internal oscillator modes.
3.6.4
PLL IN INTOSC MODES
The 4x frequency multiplier can be used with the
internal oscillator block to produce faster device clock
speeds than are normally possible with an internal
oscillator. When enabled, the PLL produces a clock
speed of up to 32 MHz.
Unlike HSPLL mode, the PLL is controlled through
software. The control bit, PLLEN (OSCTUNE<6>), is
used to enable or disable its operation. If PLL is
enabled and a Two-Speed Start-up from wake is performed, execution is delayed until the PLL starts.
The PLL is available when the device is configured to
use the internal oscillator block as its primary clock
source (FOSC3:FOSC0 = 1001 or 1000). Additionally,
the PLL will only function when the selected output frequency is either 4 MHz or 8 MHz (OSCCON<6:4> = 111
or 110). If both of these conditions are not met, the PLL
is disabled.
The PLLEN control bit is only functional in those internal oscillator modes where the PLL is available. In all
other modes, it is forced to ‘0’ and is effectively
unavailable.
3.6.5
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 no effect
on the INTRC clock source frequency.
Tuning the INTOSC source requires knowing when to
make the adjustment, in which direction it should be
made and in some cases, how large a change is
needed. Two compensation techniques are discussed
in Section 3.6.5.1 “Compensating with the
EUSART” and Section 3.6.5.2 “Compensating with
the Timers”, but other techniques may be used.

Compensating with the EUSART
An adjustment may be required when the EUSART
begins to generate framing errors or receives data with
errors while in Asynchronous mode. Framing errors
indicate that the device clock frequency is too high; to
adjust for this, decrement the value in OSCTUNE to
reduce the clock frequency. On the other hand, errors
in data may suggest that the clock speed is too low; to
compensate, increment OSCTUNE to increase the
clock frequency.
 2009 Microchip Technology Inc.
3.6.5.2
Compensating with the Timers
This technique compares device 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. To adjust for this, decrement
the OSCTUNE register.
DS39758D-page 25
PIC18F1230/1330
Clock Sources and Oscillator
Switching
Like previous PIC18 devices, the PIC18F1230/1330
family includes a feature that allows the device clock
source to be switched from the main oscillator to an
alternate low-frequency clock source. PIC18F1230/1330
devices offer two alternate clock sources. When an alternate clock source is enabled, the various power-managed
operating modes are available.
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 by the FOSC3:FOSC0
Configuration bits. The details of these modes are
covered earlier in this chapter.
FIGURE 3-8:
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.
PIC18F1230/1330 devices offer the Timer1 oscillator
as a secondary oscillator. This oscillator, in all powermanaged 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 T1OSO/T1CKI and 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 13.2
“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 PIC18F1230/1330 devices
are shown in Figure 3-8. See Section 20.0 “Special
Features of the CPU” for Configuration register details.

3.7.1
OSCILLATOR CONTROL REGISTER
The OSCCON register (Register 3-2) controls several
aspects of the device clock’s operation, both in full
power operation and in power-managed modes.
The System Clock Select bits, SCS1:SCS0, select the
clock source. The available clock sources are the
primary clock (defined by the FOSC3:FOSC0
Configuration bits), the secondary clock (Timer1
oscillator) and the internal oscillator block. The clock
source changes immediately after one or more of the
bits is written to, following a brief clock transition
interval. The SCS bits are cleared on all forms of Reset.
The Internal Oscillator Frequency Select bits
(IRCF2:IRCF0) select the frequency output of the
internal oscillator block to drive the device clock. The
choices are the INTRC source, the INTOSC source
(8 MHz) or one of the frequencies derived from the
INTOSC postscaler (31.25 kHz to 4 MHz). If the
internal oscillator block is supplying the device clock,
changing the states of these bits will have an immediate change on the internal oscillator’s output. On
device Resets, the default output frequency of the
internal oscillator block is set at 1 MHz.
When a nominal output frequency of 31 kHz is selected
(IRCF2:IRCF0 = 000), users may choose which
internal oscillator acts as the source. This is done with
the INTSRC bit in the OSCTUNE register
(OSCTUNE<7>). Setting this bit selects INTOSC as a
31.25 kHz clock source by enabling the divide-by-256
output of the INTOSC postscaler. Clearing INTSRC
selects INTRC (nominally 31 kHz) as the clock source.
The IDLEN bit determines if the device goes into Sleep
mode or one of the Idle modes when the SLEEP
instruction is executed.
The use of the flag and control bits in the OSCCON
register is discussed in more detail in Section 4.0
“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 will be ignored.
2: It is recommended that the Timer1
oscillator be operating and stable before
selecting the secondary clock source or a
very long delay may occur while the
Timer1 oscillator starts.
3.7.2
OSCILLATOR TRANSITIONS
PIC18F1230/1330 devices contain circuitry to prevent
clock “glitches” when switching between clock sources.
A short pause in the device clock occurs during the
clock switch. The length of this pause is the sum of two
cycles of the old clock source and three to four cycles
of the new clock source. This formula assumes that the
new clock source is stable.
Clock transitions are discussed in greater detail in
Section 4.1.2 “Entering Power-Managed Modes”.
This option allows users to select the tunable and more
precise INTOSC as a clock source, while maintaining
power savings with a very low clock speed. Regardless
of the setting of INTSRC, INTRC always remains the
clock source for features such as the Watchdog Timer
and the Fail-Safe Clock Monitor.
The OSTS, IOFS and T1RUN bits indicate which clock
source is currently providing the device clock. The
OSTS bit indicates that the Oscillator Start-up Timer
has timed out and the primary clock is providing the
device clock in primary clock modes. The IOFS bit
indicates when the internal oscillator block has
stabilized and is providing the device clock in RC Clock
modes. The T1RUN bit (T1CON<6>) indicates when
the Timer1 oscillator is providing the device 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
clock or the internal oscillator block has just started and
is not yet stable.

Effects of Power-Managed Modes
on the Various Clock Sources
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 device clock. The Timer1 oscillator may
also run in all power-managed modes if required to
clock Timer1 or Timer3.
In internal oscillator modes (RC_RUN and RC_IDLE),
the internal oscillator block provides the device clock
source. The 31 kHz INTRC output can be used directly
to provide the clock and may be enabled to support
various special features, regardless of the powermanaged mode (see Section 20.2 “Watchdog Timer
(WDT)”, Section 20.3 “Two-Speed Start-up” and
Section 20.4 “Fail-Safe Clock Monitor” for more
information on WDT, Fail-Safe Clock Monitor and TwoSpeed Start-up). The INTOSC output at 8 MHz may be
used directly to clock the device or may be divided
down by the postscaler. The INTOSC output is disabled
if the clock is provided directly from the INTRC output.
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 real-
TABLE 3-3:
time clock. Other features may be operating that do not
require a device clock source (i.e., INTx pins and
others). Peripherals that may add significant current
consumption are listed in Section 23.0 “Electrical
Characteristics”.
3.9
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 Section 5.5 “Device Reset Timers”.
The first timer is the Power-up Timer (PWRT), which
provides a fixed delay on power-up (parameter 33,
Table 23-10). It is enabled by clearing (= 0) the
PWRTEN Configuration bit.
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 interval TCSD (parameter 38,
Table 23-10), 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.

4.1.1
POWER-MANAGED MODES
The SCS1:SCS0 bits allow the selection of one of three
clock sources for power-managed modes. They are:
PIC18F1230/1330 devices offer a total of seven
operating modes for more efficient power
management. These modes provide a variety of
options for selective power conservation in applications
where resources may be limited (i.e., battery-powered
devices).
• the primary clock, as defined by the
FOSC3:FOSC0 Configuration bits
• the secondary clock (the Timer1 oscillator)
• the internal oscillator block (for RC modes)
There are three categories of power-managed modes:
4.1.2
• Run modes
• Idle modes
• Sleep mode
The power-managed modes include several powersaving features offered on previous PIC® devices. One
is the clock switching feature, offered in other PIC18
devices, allowing the controller to use the Timer1
oscillator in place of the primary oscillator. Also
included is the Sleep mode, offered by all PIC devices,
where all device clocks are stopped.
Entry to the power-managed Idle or Sleep modes is
triggered by the execution of a SLEEP instruction. The
actual mode that results depends on the status of the
IDLEN bit.
Depending on the current mode and the mode being
switched to, a change to a power-managed mode does
not always require setting all of these bits. Many
transitions may be done by changing the oscillator select
bits, or changing the IDLEN bit, prior to issuing a SLEEP
instruction. If the IDLEN bit is already configured
correctly, it may only be necessary to perform a SLEEP
instruction to switch to the desired mode.
Selecting Power-Managed Modes
Selecting a power-managed mode requires two
decisions: if the CPU is to be clocked or not and the
selection of a clock source. The IDLEN bit
(OSCCON<7>) controls CPU clocking, while the
SCS1:SCS0 bits (OSCCON<1:0>) select the clock
source. The individual modes, bit settings, clock sources
and affected modules are summarized in Table 4-1.
TABLE 4-1:
POWER-MANAGED MODES
OSCCON Bits

Sleep
ENTERING POWER-MANAGED
MODES
Switching from one power-managed mode to another
begins by loading the OSCCON register. The
SCS1:SCS0 bits select the clock source and determine
which Run or Idle mode is to be used. Changing these
bits causes an immediate switch to the new clock
source, assuming that it is running. The switch may
also be subject to clock transition delays. These are
discussed in Section 4.1.3 “Clock Transitions and
Status Indicators” and subsequent sections.
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 internal oscillator
block); the Sleep mode does not use a clock source.

4.1.3
CLOCK TRANSITIONS AND STATUS
INDICATORS
The length of the transition between clock sources is
the sum of two cycles of the old clock source and three
to four cycles of the new clock source. This formula
assumes that the new clock source is stable.
Three bits indicate the current clock source and its
status. They are:
• OSTS (OSCCON<3>)
• IOFS (OSCCON<2>)
• T1RUN (T1CON<6>)
In general, only one of these bits will be set while in a
given power-managed mode. When the OSTS bit is
set, the primary clock is providing the device clock.
When the IOFS bit is set, the INTOSC output is
providing a stable 8 MHz clock source to a divider that
actually drives the device clock. When the T1RUN bit is
set, the Timer1 oscillator is providing the clock. If none
of these bits are set, then either the INTRC clock
source is clocking the device, or the INTOSC source is
not yet stable.
If the internal oscillator block is configured as the primary
clock source by the FOSC3:FOSC0 Configuration bits,
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 another power-managed RC
mode at the same frequency would clear the OSTS bit.
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. It acts as the trigger to place the
controller into either the Sleep mode or
one of the Idle modes, depending on the
setting of the IDLEN bit.
4.1.4
MULTIPLE SLEEP COMMANDS
The power-managed mode that is invoked with the
SLEEP instruction is determined by the setting of the
IDLEN bit at the time the instruction is executed. If
another SLEEP instruction is executed, the device will
enter the power-managed mode specified by IDLEN at
that time. If IDLEN has changed, the device will enter
the new power-managed mode specified by the new
setting.
DS39758D-page 32
4.2
Run Modes
In the Run modes, clocks to both the core and
peripherals are active. The difference between these
modes is the clock source.
4.2.1
PRI_RUN MODE
The PRI_RUN mode is the normal, full power execution
mode of the microcontroller. This is also the default
mode upon a device Reset unless Two-Speed Start-up
is enabled (see Section 20.3 “Two-Speed Start-up”
for details). In this mode, the OSTS bit is set. The IOFS
bit may be set if the internal oscillator block is the
primary clock source (see Section 3.7.1 “Oscillator
Control Register”).
4.2.2
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
high accuracy clock source.
SEC_RUN mode is entered by setting the SCS1:SCS0
bits to ‘01’. The device clock source is switched to the
Timer1 oscillator (see Figure 4-1), the primary oscillator
is shut down, the T1RUN bit (T1CON<6>) is set and the
OSTS bit is cleared.
Note:
The Timer1 oscillator should already be
running prior to entering SEC_RUN mode.
If the T1OSCEN bit is not set when the
SCS1:SCS0 bits are set to ‘01’, entry to
SEC_RUN mode will not occur. If the
Timer1 oscillator is enabled, but not yet
running, device clocks will be delayed until
the oscillator has started. In such situations, initial oscillator operation is far from
stable and unpredictable operation may
result.
On transitions from SEC_RUN to PRI_RUN mode, 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 4-2).
When the clock switch is complete, the T1RUN bit is
cleared, the OSTS bit is set and the primary clock is
providing the clock. The IDLEN and SCS bits are not
affected by the wake-up; the Timer1 oscillator
continues to run.

Clock transition typically occurs within 2-4 TOSC.
RC_RUN MODE
In RC_RUN mode, the CPU and peripherals are
clocked from the internal oscillator block using the
INTOSC multiplexer. In this mode, 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. It works well for user
applications which are not highly timing sensitive or do
not require high-speed clocks at all times.
If the primary clock source is the internal oscillator block
(either INTRC or INTOSC), 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.
 2009 Microchip Technology Inc.
This mode is entered by setting the SCS1 bit to ‘1’.
Although it is ignored, it is recommended that the SCS0
bit also be cleared; this is to maintain software compatibility with future devices. When the clock source is
switched to the INTOSC multiplexer (see Figure 4-3),
the primary oscillator is shut down and the OSTS bit is
cleared. The IRCF bits may be modified at any time to
immediately change the clock speed.
Note:
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.
DS39758D-page 33
PIC18F1230/1330
If the IRCF bits and the INTSRC bit 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
device clocks.
On transitions from RC_RUN mode to PRI_RUN mode,
the device 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 4-4). When the clock
switch is complete, the IOFS bit is cleared, the OSTS
bit is set and the primary clock is providing the device
clock. The IDLEN and SCS bits are not affected by the
switch. The INTRC source will continue to run if either
the WDT or the Fail-Safe Clock Monitor is enabled.
If the IRCF bits are changed from all clear (thus,
enabling the INTOSC output), or if INTSRC is set, the
IOFS bit becomes set after the INTOSC output
becomes stable. Clocks to the device continue while
the INTOSC source stabilizes after an interval of
TIOBST.
If the IRCF bits were previously at a non-zero value, or
if INTSRC was set before setting SCS1 and the
INTOSC source was already stable, the IOFS bit will
remain set.

4.3
Sleep Mode
4.4
The power-managed Sleep mode in the PIC18F1230/
1330 devices is identical to the legacy Sleep mode
offered in all other PIC devices. It is entered by clearing
the IDLEN bit (the default state on device Reset) and
executing the SLEEP instruction. This shuts down the
selected oscillator (Figure 4-5). All clock source status
bits are cleared.
Entering the Sleep mode from any other mode does not
require a clock switch. This is because no clocks are
needed once the controller has entered Sleep. If the
WDT is selected, the INTRC source will continue to
operate. If the Timer1 oscillator is enabled, it will also
continue to run.
When a wake event occurs in Sleep mode (by interrupt,
Reset or WDT time-out), the device will not be clocked
until the clock source selected by the SCS1:SCS0 bits
becomes ready (see Figure 4-6), or it will be clocked
from the internal oscillator block if either the Two-Speed
Start-up or the Fail-Safe Clock Monitor are enabled
(see Section 20.0 “Special Features of the CPU”). In
either case, the OSTS bit is set when the primary clock
is providing the device clocks. The IDLEN and SCS bits
are not affected by the wake-up.
Idle Modes
The Idle modes allow the controller’s CPU to be
selectively shut down while the peripherals continue to
operate. Selecting a particular Idle mode allows users
to further manage power consumption.
If the IDLEN bit 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. The clock source status bits are
not affected. Setting IDLEN and executing a SLEEP
instruction provides a quick method of switching from a
given Run mode to its corresponding Idle mode.
If the WDT is selected, the INTRC source will continue
to operate. If the Timer1 oscillator is enabled, it will also
continue to run.
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 by an interval of TCSD
(parameter 38, Table 23-10) while it becomes ready to
execute code. When the CPU begins executing code,
it resumes with the same clock source for the current
Idle mode. For example, when waking from RC_IDLE
mode, the internal oscillator block will clock the CPU
and peripherals (in other words, RC_RUN mode). The
IDLEN and SCS bits are not affected by the wake-up.
While in any Idle mode or the Sleep mode, a WDT
time-out will result in a WDT wake-up to the Run mode
currently specified by the SCS1:SCS0 bits.

4.4.1
PRI_IDLE MODE
This mode is unique among the three low-power Idle
modes, in that it does not disable the primary device
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.
PRI_IDLE mode is entered from PRI_RUN mode by
setting the IDLEN bit and executing a SLEEP instruction. If the device is in another Run mode, set IDLEN
first, then clear the SCS bits and execute SLEEP.
Although the CPU is disabled, the peripherals continue
to be clocked from the primary clock source specified
by the FOSC3:FOSC0 Configuration bits. The OSTS
bit remains set (see Figure 4-7).
setting the IDLEN bit and executing a SLEEP
instruction. If the device is in another Run mode, set the
IDLEN bit first, then set the SCS1:SCS0 bits to ‘01’ and
execute SLEEP. When the clock source is switched to
the Timer1 oscillator, the primary oscillator is shut
down, the OSTS bit is cleared and the T1RUN bit is set.
When a wake event occurs, the peripherals continue to
be clocked from the Timer1 oscillator. After an interval
of TCSD following the wake event, the CPU begins
executing code being clocked by the Timer1 oscillator.
The IDLEN and SCS bits are not affected by the
wake-up; the Timer1 oscillator continues to run (see
Figure 4-8).
Note:
When a wake event occurs, the CPU is clocked from the
primary clock source. A delay of interval TCSD 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 4-8).
4.4.2
SEC_IDLE MODE
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, the SLEEP
instruction will be ignored 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.
In SEC_IDLE mode, the CPU is disabled but the
peripherals continue to be clocked from the Timer1
oscillator. This mode is entered from SEC_RUN by

RC_IDLE MODE
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.
From RC_RUN, this mode is entered by setting the
IDLEN bit and executing a SLEEP instruction. If the
device is in another Run mode, first set IDLEN, then set
the SCS1 bit and execute SLEEP. Although its value is
ignored, it is recommended that SCS0 also be cleared;
this is to maintain software compatibility with future
devices. 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, the
primary oscillator is shut down and the OSTS bit is
cleared.
If the IRCF bits are set to any non-zero value, or the
INTSRC bit is set, the INTOSC output is enabled. The
IOFS bit becomes set, after the INTOSC output
becomes stable, after an interval of TIOBST
(parameter 39, Table 23-10). Clocks to the peripherals
continue while the INTOSC source stabilizes. If the
IRCF bits were previously at a non-zero value, or
INTSRC was set before the SLEEP instruction was
executed and the INTOSC source was already stable,
the IOFS bit will remain set. If the IRCF bits and
INTSRC are all clear, the INTOSC output will not be
enabled, the IOFS bit will remain clear and there will be
no indication of the current clock source.
When a wake event occurs, the peripherals continue to
be clocked from the INTOSC multiplexer. After a delay of
TCSD following the wake event, the CPU begins
executing code being clocked by the INTOSC
multiplexer. 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.
4.5
Exiting Idle and Sleep Modes
An exit from Sleep mode or any of the Idle 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 Section 4.2 “Run Modes”, Section 4.3
“Sleep Mode” and Section 4.4 “Idle Modes”).
4.5.1
EXIT BY INTERRUPT
Any of the available interrupt sources can cause the
device to exit from an Idle mode or the Sleep mode to
a Run mode. 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.
 2009 Microchip Technology Inc.
On all exits from Idle or Sleep modes 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 11.0 “Interrupts”).
A fixed delay of interval TCSD 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.
4.5.2
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 an exit from the
power-managed mode (see Section 4.2 “Run
Modes” and Section 4.3 “Sleep Mode”). If the device
is executing code (all Run modes), the time-out will
result in a WDT Reset (see Section 20.2 “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
device clock source.
4.5.3
EXIT BY RESET
Normally, the device is held in Reset by the Oscillator
Start-up Timer (OST) until the primary clock becomes
ready. At that time, the OSTS bit is set and the device
begins executing code. If the internal oscillator block is
the new clock source, the IOFS bit is set instead.
The exit delay time from Reset to the start of code
execution depends on both the clock sources before
and after the wake-up and the type of oscillator if the
new clock source is the primary clock. Exit delays are
summarized in Table 4-2.
Code execution can begin before the primary clock
becomes ready. If either the Two-Speed Start-up (see
Section 20.3 “Two-Speed Start-up”) or Fail-Safe
Clock Monitor (see Section 20.4 “Fail-Safe Clock
Monitor”) is enabled, 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. 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.
DS39758D-page 37
PIC18F1230/1330
4.5.4
EXIT WITHOUT AN OSCILLATOR
START-UP DELAY
Certain exits from power-managed modes do not
invoke the OST at all. There are two cases:
• PRI_IDLE mode, where the primary clock source is
not stopped; and
• the primary clock source is not any of the LP, XT,
HS or HSPLL modes.
TABLE 4-2:
In these instances, 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 of interval
TCSD following the wake event is still required when
leaving Sleep and Idle modes to allow the CPU to
prepare for execution. Instruction execution resumes
on the first clock cycle following this delay.

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.
Power-on Reset events are captured by the POR bit
(RCON<1>). The state of the bit is set to ‘0’ whenever
a Power-on Reset occurs; it does not change for any
other Reset event. POR is not reset to ‘1’ by any hardware event. To capture multiple events, the user
manually resets the bit to ‘1’ in software following any
Power-on Reset.

Brown-out Reset (BOR)
PIC18F1230/1330 devices implement a BOR circuit that
provides the user with a number of configuration and
power-saving options. The BOR is controlled by the
BORV1:BORV0 and BOREN1:BOREN0 Configuration
bits. There are a total of four BOR configurations which
are summarized in Table 5-1.
The BOR threshold is set by the BORV1:BORV0 bits.
If BOR is enabled (any values of BOREN1:BOREN0
except ‘00’), any drop of VDD below VBOR (parameter
D005) for greater than TBOR (parameter 35) will reset
the device. A Reset may or 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.
BOR and the Power-on Timer (PWRT) are
independently configured. Enabling Brown-out Reset
does not automatically enable the PWRT.
5.4.1
SOFTWARE ENABLED BOR
When BOREN1:BOREN0 = 01, the BOR can be
enabled or disabled by the user in software. This is
done with the control bit, SBOREN (RCON<6>).
Setting SBOREN enables the BOR to function as
previously described. Clearing SBOREN disables the
BOR entirely. The SBOREN bit operates only in this
mode; otherwise it is read as ‘0’.
change BOR configuration. It also allows the user to
tailor device power consumption in software by
eliminating the incremental current that the BOR
consumes. While the BOR current is typically very
small, it may have some impact in low-power
applications.
Note:
5.4.2
Even when BOR is under software control,
the Brown-out Reset voltage level is still
set by the BORV1:BORV0 Configuration
bits. It cannot be changed in software.
DETECTING BOR
When Brown-out Reset is enabled, the BOR bit always
resets to ‘0’ on any Brown-out Reset or Power-on
Reset event. This makes it difficult to determine if a
Brown-out Reset event has occurred just by reading
the state of BOR alone. A more reliable method is to
simultaneously check the state of both POR and BOR.
This assumes that the POR bit is reset to ‘1’ in software
immediately after any Power-on Reset event. If BOR is
‘0’ while POR is ‘1’, it can be reliably assumed that a
Brown-out Reset event has occurred.
5.4.3
DISABLING BOR IN SLEEP MODE
When BOREN1:BOREN0 = 10, the BOR remains
under hardware control and operates as previously
described. Whenever the device enters Sleep mode,
however, the BOR is automatically disabled. When the
device returns to any other operating mode, BOR is
automatically re-enabled.
This mode allows for applications to recover from
brown-out situations, while actively executing code,
when the device requires BOR protection the most. At
the same time, it saves additional power in Sleep mode
by eliminating the small incremental BOR current.
Placing the BOR under software control gives the user
the additional flexibility of tailoring the application to its
environment without having to reprogram the device to

Device Reset Timers
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 separate 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.
PIC18F1230/1330 devices incorporate three separate
on-chip timers that help regulate the Power-on Reset
process. Their main function is to ensure that the device
clock is stable before code is executed. These timers
are:
• Power-up Timer (PWRT)
• Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST)
• PLL Lock Time-out
5.5.1
5.5.4
TIME-OUT SEQUENCE
On power-up, the time-out sequence is as follows:
POWER-UP TIMER (PWRT)
1.
The Power-up Timer (PWRT) of PIC18F1230/1330
devices is an 11-bit counter which uses the INTRC
source as the clock input. This yields an approximate
time interval of 2048 x 32 s = 65.6 ms. While the
PWRT is counting, the device is held in Reset.
2.
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. Figure 5-3,
Figure 5-4, Figure 5-5, Figure 5-6 and Figure 5-7 all
depict time-out sequences on power-up, with the
Power-up Timer enabled and the device operating in
HS Oscillator mode. Figures 5-3 through 5-6 also apply
to devices operating in XT or LP modes. For devices in
RC mode and with the PWRT disabled, there will be no
time-out at all.
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 the PWRTEN
Configuration bit.
5.5.2
PLL LOCK TIME-OUT
OSCILLATOR START-UP TIMER
(OST)
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 5-5). This is useful for testing purposes or to
synchronize more than one PIC18FXXXX device
operating in parallel.
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.

Reset State of Registers
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.
Table 5-4 describes the Reset states for all of the
Special Function Registers. These are categorized by
Power-on and Brown-out Resets, Master Clear and
WDT Resets and WDT wake-ups.
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 5-3. These bits
are used in software to determine the nature of the
Reset.

MEMORY ORGANIZATION
6.1
There are three types of memory in PIC18 Enhanced
microcontroller devices:
• Program Memory
• Data RAM
• Data EEPROM
As Harvard architecture devices, the data and program
memories use separate busses; this allows for
concurrent access of the two memory spaces. The data
EEPROM, for practical purposes, can be regarded as
a peripheral device, since it is addressed and accessed
through a set of control registers.
Additional detailed information on the operation of the
Flash program memory is provided in Section 7.0
“Flash Program Memory”. Data EEPROM is
discussed separately in Section 8.0 “Data EEPROM
Memory”.
FIGURE 6-1:
Program Memory Organization
PIC18 microcontrollers implement a 21-bit program
counter, which is capable of addressing a 2-Mbyte
program memory space. Accessing a location between
the upper boundary of the physically implemented
memory and the 2-Mbyte address will return all ‘0’s (a
NOP instruction).
The PIC18F1230 has 4 Kbytes of Flash memory and
can store up to 2,048 single-word instructions. The
PIC18F1330 has 8 Kbytes of Flash memory and can
store up to 4,096 single-word instructions.
PIC18 devices have two interrupt vectors. The Reset
vector address is at 0000h and the interrupt vector
addresses are at 0008h and 0018h.
The program memory maps for PIC18F1230 and
PIC18F1330 devices are shown in Figure 6-1.

6.1.1
PROGRAM COUNTER
The Program Counter (PC) specifies the address of the
instruction to fetch for execution. The PC is 21 bits wide
and is contained in three separate 8-bit registers. 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; it is not directly readable or writable.
Updates to the PCH register are performed through the
PCLATH register. The upper byte is called PCU. This
register contains the PC<20:16> bits; it is also not
directly readable or writable. Updates to the PCU
register are performed through the PCLATU register.
The contents of PCLATH and PCLATU are transferred
to the program counter by any operation that writes to
the PCL. Similarly, the upper two bytes of the program
counter are transferred to PCLATH and PCLATU by an
operation that reads the PCL. This is useful for
computed offsets to the PC (see Section 6.1.4.1
“Computed GOTO”).
The PC addresses bytes in the program memory. To
prevent the PC from becoming misaligned with word
instructions, the Least Significant bit 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.
6.1.2
RETURN ADDRESS STACK
The return address stack allows any combination of up
to 31 program calls and interrupts to occur. The PC 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.
FIGURE 6-2:
The stack operates as a 31-word by 21-bit RAM and a
5-bit Stack Pointer, STKPTR. 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-ofStack Special Function Registers. Data can also be
pushed to, or popped from the stack, using these
registers.
A CALL type instruction causes a push onto the stack;
the Stack Pointer is first incremented and the location
pointed to by the Stack Pointer is written with the
contents of the PC (already pointing to the instruction
following the CALL). A RETURN type instruction causes
a pop from the stack; the contents of the location
pointed to by the STKPTR are transferred to the PC
and then the Stack Pointer is decremented.
The Stack Pointer is initialized to ‘00000’ after all
Resets. There is no RAM associated with the location
corresponding to a Stack Pointer value of ‘00000’; this
is only a Reset value. Status bits indicate if the stack is
full, has overflowed or has underflowed.
6.1.2.1
Top-of-Stack Access
Only the top of the return address stack (TOS) is
readable and writable. A set of three registers,
TOSU:TOSH:TOSL, hold the contents of the stack
location pointed to by the STKPTR register (Figure 6-2).
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:TOSL registers. These values can be
placed on a user-defined software stack. At return time,
the software can return these values to
TOSU:TOSH:TOSL and do a return.
The user must disable the global interrupt enable bits
while accessing the stack to prevent inadvertent stack
corruption.

6.1.2.2
Return Stack Pointer (STKPTR)
When the stack has been popped enough times to
unload the stack, the next pop will return a value of zero
to the PC and sets the STKUNF bit, while the Stack
Pointer remains at zero. The STKUNF bit will remain
set until cleared by software or until a POR occurs.
The STKPTR register (Register 6-1) 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. On 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 (RTOS) for return stack maintenance.
Note:
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.
6.1.2.3
PUSH and POP Instructions
Since the Top-of-Stack 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 feature. The PIC18 instruction set
includes two instructions, PUSH and POP, that permit
the TOS to be manipulated under software control.
TOSU, TOSH and TOSL can be modified to place data
or a return address on the stack.
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 20.1 “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 PUSH instruction places the current PC value onto
the stack. This increments the Stack Pointer and loads
the current PC value onto the stack.
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.
REGISTER 6-1:
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.
The POP instruction discards the current TOS by
decrementing the Stack Pointer. The previous value
pushed onto the stack then becomes the TOS value.

6.1.2.4
Stack Full and Underflow Resets
Device Resets on stack overflow and stack underflow
conditions are enabled by setting the STVREN bit in
Configuration Register 4L. When STVREN is set, a full
or underflow will set the appropriate STKFUL or
STKUNF bit and then cause a device Reset. When
STVREN is cleared, a full or underflow condition will set
the appropriate STKFUL or STKUNF bit but not cause
a device Reset. The STKFUL or STKUNF bit is cleared
by the user software or a Power-on Reset.
6.1.3
FAST REGISTER STACK
A Fast Register Stack is provided for the STATUS,
WREG and BSR registers, to provide a “fast return”
option for interrupts. The stack for each register is only
one level deep and is neither readable nor writable. It is
loaded with the current value of the corresponding
register when the processor vectors for an interrupt. All
interrupt sources will push values into the Stack
registers. The values in the registers are then loaded
back into their associated registers if the
RETFIE, FAST instruction is used to return from the
interrupt.
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. In these cases, 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.
Example 6-1 shows a source code example that uses
the Fast Register Stack during a subroutine call and
return.

6.1.4
LOOK-UP TABLES IN PROGRAM
MEMORY
There may be programming situations that require the
creation of data structures, or look-up tables, in
program memory. For PIC18 devices, look-up tables
can be implemented in two ways:
• Computed GOTO
• Table Reads
6.1.4.1
Computed GOTO
A computed GOTO is accomplished by adding an offset
to the program counter. An example is shown in
Example 6-2.
A look-up table can be formed with an ADDWF PCL
instruction and a group of RETLW nn instructions. The
W register 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 nn
instructions that returns the value ‘nn’ 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.

Table Reads and 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) register specifies the byte
address and the Table Latch (TABLAT) register
contains the data that is read from or written to program
memory. Data is transferred to or from program
memory one byte at a time.
Table read and table write operations are discussed
further in Section 7.1 “Table Reads and Table
Writes”.

PIC18 Instruction Cycle
6.2.1
CLOCKING SCHEME
The microcontroller clock input, whether from an
internal or external source, is internally divided by four
to generate four non-overlapping quadrature clocks
(Q1, Q2, Q3 and Q4). Internally, the program counter is
incremented on every Q1; the instruction is fetched
from the program memory and latched into the Instruction Register (IR) during Q4. The instruction is decoded
and executed during the following Q1 through Q4. The
clocks and instruction execution flow are shown in
Figure 6-3.
FIGURE 6-3:
INSTRUCTION FLOW/PIPELINING
An “Instruction Cycle” consists of four Q cycles: Q1
through Q4. The instruction fetch and execute are
pipelined in such a manner that a fetch takes one
instruction cycle, while the decode and execute take
another instruction cycle. However, due to the
pipelining, each instruction effectively executes in one
cycle. If an instruction causes the program counter to
change (e.g., GOTO), then two cycles are required to
complete the instruction (Example 6-3).
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).

6.2.3
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). To maintain
alignment with instruction boundaries, the PC
increments in steps of 2 and the LSb will always read
‘0’ (see Section 6.1.1 “Program Counter”).
Figure 6-4 shows an example of how instruction words
are stored in the program memory.
FIGURE 6-4:
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 6-4 shows how the
instruction, GOTO 0006h, 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 22.0 “Instruction Set Summary”
provides further details of the instruction set.

TWO-WORD INSTRUCTIONS
The standard PIC18 instruction set has four two-word
instructions: CALL, MOVFF, GOTO and LSFR. In all
cases, the second word of the instructions always has
‘1111’ as its four Most Significant bits; the other 12 bits
are literal data, usually a data memory address.
The use of ‘1111’ in the 4 MSbs of an instruction
specifies a special form of NOP. If the instruction is
executed in proper sequence – immediately after the
first word – the data in the second word is accessed
EXAMPLE 6-4:
and used by the instruction sequence. If the first word
is skipped for some reason and the second word is
executed by itself, a NOP is executed instead. This is
necessary for cases when the two-word instruction is
preceded by a conditional instruction that changes the
PC. Example 6-4 shows how this works.
Note:
See Section 6.6 “PIC18 Instruction
Execution and the Extended Instruction Set” for information on two-word
instructions in the extended instruction set.

extended instruction set is enabled. See
Section 6.5 “Data Memory and the
Extended Instruction Set” for more
information.
The data memory in PIC18 devices is implemented as
static RAM. Each register in the data memory has a
12-bit address, allowing up to 4096 bytes of data
memory. The memory space is divided into as many as
16 banks that contain 256 bytes each; PIC18F1230/
1330 devices implement 1 bank. Figure 6-5 shows the
data memory organization for the PIC18F1230/1330
devices.
The data memory contains Special Function Registers
(SFRs) and General Purpose Registers (GPRs). The
SFRs are used for control and status of the controller
and peripheral functions, while GPRs are used for data
storage and scratchpad operations in the user’s
application. Any read of an unimplemented location will
read as ‘0’s.
The instruction set and architecture allow operations
across all banks. The entire data memory may be
accessed by Direct, Indirect or Indexed Addressing
modes. Addressing modes are discussed later in this
subsection.
To ensure that commonly used registers (SFRs and
select GPRs) can be accessed in a single cycle, PIC18
devices implement an Access Bank. This is a 256-byte
memory space that provides fast access to SFRs and
the lower portion of GPR Bank 0 without using the
BSR. Section 6.3.2 “Access Bank” provides a
detailed description of the Access RAM.
6.3.1
BANK SELECT REGISTER (BSR)
Large areas of data memory require an efficient
addressing scheme to make rapid access to any
address possible. Ideally, this means that an entire
address does not need to be provided for each read or
write operation. For PIC18 devices, this is
accomplished with a RAM banking scheme. This
divides the memory space into 16 contiguous banks of
256 bytes. Depending on the instruction, each location
can be addressed directly by its full 12-bit address, or
an 8-bit low-order address and a 4-bit Bank Pointer.
Most instructions in the PIC18 instruction set make use
of the Bank Pointer, known as the Bank Select Register
(BSR). This SFR holds the four Most Significant bits of
a location’s address; the instruction itself includes the
eight Least Significant bits. Only the four lower bits of
the BSR are implemented (BSR3:BSR0). The upper
four bits are unused; they will always read ‘0’ and cannot be written to. The BSR can be loaded directly by
using the MOVLB instruction.
The value of the BSR indicates the bank in data
memory. The 8 bits in the instruction show the location
in the bank and can be thought of as an offset from the
bank’s lower boundary. The relationship between the
BSR’s value and the bank division in data memory is
shown in Figure 6-6.
Since up to 16 registers may share the same low-order
address, the user must always be careful to ensure that
the proper bank is selected before performing a data
read or write. For example, writing what should be
program data to an 8-bit address of F9h, while the BSR
is 0Fh, will end up resetting the program counter.
While any bank can be selected, only those banks that
are actually implemented can be read or written to.
Writes to unimplemented banks are ignored, while
reads from unimplemented banks will return ‘0’s. Even
so, the STATUS register will still be affected as if the
operation was successful. The data memory map in
Figure 6-5 indicates which banks are implemented.
In the core PIC18 instruction set, only the MOVFF
instruction fully specifies the 12-bit address of the
source and target registers. This instruction ignores the
BSR completely when it executes. All other instructions
include only the low-order address as an operand and
must use either the BSR or the Access Bank to locate
their target registers.

The Access RAM bit of the instruction can be used to force an override of the selected bank (BSR<3:0>) to
the registers of the Access Bank.
The MOVFF instruction embeds the entire 12-bit address in the instruction.
ACCESS BANK
While the use of the BSR with an embedded 8-bit
address allows users to address the entire range of
data memory, it also means that the user must always
ensure that the correct bank is selected. Otherwise,
data may be read from or written to the wrong location.
This can be disastrous if a GPR is the intended target
of an operation, but an SFR is written to instead.
Verifying and/or changing the BSR for each read or
write to data memory can become very inefficient.
To streamline access for the most commonly used data
memory locations, the data memory is configured with
an Access Bank, which allows users to access a
mapped block of memory without specifying a BSR.
The Access Bank consists of the first 128 bytes of
memory (00h-7Fh) in Bank 0 and the last 128 bytes of
memory (80h-FFh) in Block 15. The lower half is known
as the “Access RAM” and is composed of GPRs. The
upper half is where the device’s SFRs are mapped.
These two areas are mapped contiguously in the
Access Bank and can be addressed in a linear fashion
by an 8-bit address (Figure 6-5).
The Access Bank is used by core PIC18 instructions
that include the Access RAM bit (the ‘a’ parameter in
the instruction). When ‘a’ is equal to ‘1’, the instruction
uses the BSR and the 8-bit address included in the
opcode for the data memory address. When ‘a’ is ‘0’,
 2009 Microchip Technology Inc.
however, the instruction is forced to use the Access
Bank address map; the current value of the BSR is
ignored entirely.
Using this “forced” addressing allows the instruction to
operate on a data address in a single cycle without
updating the BSR first. For 8-bit addresses of 80h and
above, this means that users can evaluate and operate
on SFRs more efficiently. The Access RAM below 80h
is a good place for data values that the user might need
to access rapidly, such as immediate computational
results or common program variables. Access RAM
also allows for faster and more code efficient context
saving and switching of variables.
The mapping of the Access Bank is slightly different
when the extended instruction set is enabled (XINST
Configuration bit = 1). This is discussed in more detail
in Section 6.5.3 “Mapping the Access Bank in
Indexed Literal Offset Addressing Mode”.
6.3.3
GENERAL PURPOSE
REGISTER FILE
PIC18 devices may have banked memory in the GPR
area. This is data RAM which is available for use by all
instructions. GPRs start at the bottom of Bank 0
(address 000h) and grow upwards towards the bottom of
the SFR area. GPRs are not initialized by a Power-on
Reset and are unchanged on all other Resets.
DS39758D-page 59
PIC18F1230/1330
6.3.4
SPECIAL FUNCTION REGISTERS
The SFRs can be classified into two sets: those
associated with the “core” device functionality (ALU,
Resets and interrupts) and those related to the
peripheral functions. The Reset and Interrupt registers
are described in their respective chapters, while the
ALU’s STATUS register is described later in this section.
Registers related to the operation of a peripheral feature
are described in the chapter for that peripheral.
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. SFRs start at the top of
data memory (FFFh) and extend downward to occupy
the top half of Bank 15 (F80h to FFFh). A list of these
registers is given in Table 6-1 and Table 6-2.
TABLE 6-1:
The SFRs are typically distributed among the
peripherals whose functions they control. Unused SFR
locations are unimplemented and read as ‘0’s.

STATUS REGISTER
The STATUS register, shown in Register 6-2, contains
the arithmetic status of the ALU. As with any other SFR,
it can be the operand for any instruction.
If the STATUS register is the destination for an instruction that affects the Z, DC, C, OV or N bits, the results
of the instruction are not written; instead, the STATUS
register is updated according to the instruction
performed. Therefore, the result of an instruction with
the STATUS register as its destination may be different
than intended. As an example, CLRF STATUS will set
the Z bit and leave the remaining Status bits
unchanged (‘000u u1uu’).
REGISTER 6-2:
It is recommended 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 that do not affect Status bits, see
the instruction set summaries in Table 22-2 and
Table 22-3.
Note:
The C and DC bits operate as the borrow
and digit borrow bits, respectively, in
subtraction.

Data Addressing Modes
Note:
The execution of some instructions in the
core PIC18 instruction set are changed
when the PIC18 extended instruction set is
enabled. See Section 6.5 “Data Memory
and the Extended Instruction Set” for
more information.
The data memory space can be addressed in several
ways. For most instructions, the addressing mode is
fixed. Other instructions may use up to three modes,
depending on which operands are used and whether or
not the extended instruction set is enabled.
The addressing modes are:
•
•
•
•
Inherent
Literal
Direct
Indirect
An additional addressing mode, Indexed Literal Offset,
is available when the extended instruction set is
enabled (XINST Configuration bit = 1). Its operation is
discussed in greater detail in Section 6.5.1 “Indexed
Addressing with Literal Offset”.
6.4.1
INHERENT AND LITERAL
ADDRESSING
Many PIC18 control instructions do not need any
argument at all; they either perform an operation that
globally affects the device or they operate implicitly on
one register. This addressing mode is known as Inherent
Addressing. Examples include SLEEP, RESET and DAW.
Other instructions work in a similar way but require an
additional explicit argument in the opcode. This is
known as Literal Addressing mode because they
require some literal value as an argument. Examples
include ADDLW and MOVLW, which respectively, add or
move a literal value to the W register. Other examples
include CALL and GOTO, which include a 20-bit
program memory address.
6.4.2
The Access RAM bit ‘a’ determines how the address is
interpreted. When ‘a’ is ‘1’, the contents of the BSR
(Section 6.3.1 “Bank Select Register (BSR)”) are
used with the address to determine the complete 12-bit
address of the register. When ‘a’ is ‘0’, the address is
interpreted as being a register in the Access Bank.
Addressing that uses the Access RAM is sometimes
also known as Direct Forced Addressing mode.
A few instructions, such as MOVFF, include the entire
12-bit address (either source or destination) in their
opcodes. In these cases, the BSR is ignored entirely.
The destination of the operation’s results is determined
by the destination bit ‘d’. When ‘d’ is ‘1’, the results are
stored back in the source register, overwriting its
original contents. When ‘d’ is ‘0’, the results are stored
in the W register. Instructions without the ‘d’ argument
have a destination that is implicit in the instruction; their
destination is either the target register being operated
on or the W register.
6.4.3
Indirect Addressing allows the user to access a location
in data memory without giving a fixed address in the
instruction. This is done by using File Select Registers
(FSRs) as pointers to the locations to be read or written
to. Since the FSRs are themselves located in RAM as
Special Function Registers, they can also be directly
manipulated under program control. This makes FSRs
very useful in implementing data structures, such as
tables and arrays in data memory.
The registers for Indirect Addressing are also
implemented with Indirect File Operands (INDFs) that
permit automatic manipulation of the pointer value with
auto-incrementing, auto-decrementing or offsetting
with another value. This allows for efficient code, using
loops, such as the example of clearing an entire RAM
bank in Example 6-5.
EXAMPLE 6-5:
DIRECT ADDRESSING
Direct Addressing specifies all or part of the source
and/or destination address of the operation within the
opcode itself. The options are specified by the
arguments accompanying the instruction.
In the core PIC18 instruction set, bit-oriented and byteoriented instructions use some version of Direct
Addressing by default. All of these instructions include
some 8-bit literal address as their Least Significant
Byte. This address specifies either a register address in
one of the banks of data RAM (Section 6.3.3 “General
Purpose Register File”) or a location in the Access
Bank (Section 6.3.2 “Access Bank”) as the data
source for the instruction.

6.4.3.1
FSR Registers and the
INDF Operand
6.4.3.2
At the core of Indirect Addressing are three sets of
registers: FSR0, FSR1 and FSR2. Each represents a
pair of 8-bit registers, FSRnH and FSRnL. The four
upper bits of the FSRnH register are not used so each
FSR pair holds a 12-bit value. This represents a value
that can address the entire range of the data memory
in a linear fashion. The FSR register pairs, then, serve
as pointers to data memory locations.
In addition to the INDF operand, each FSR register pair
also has four additional indirect operands. Like INDF,
these are “virtual” registers that cannot be indirectly
read or written to. Accessing these registers actually
accesses the associated FSR register pair, but also
performs a specific action on its stored value. They are:
• POSTDEC: accesses the FSR value, then
automatically decrements it by 1 afterwards
• POSTINC: accesses the FSR value, then
automatically increments it by 1 afterwards
• PREINC: increments the FSR value by 1, then
uses it in the operation
• PLUSW: adds the signed value of the W register
(range of -127 to 128) to that of the FSR and uses
the new value in the operation.
Indirect Addressing is accomplished with a set of
Indirect File Operands, INDF0 through INDF2. These
can be thought of as “virtual” registers: they are
mapped in the SFR space but are not physically
implemented. Reading or writing to a particular INDF
register actually accesses its corresponding FSR
register pair. A read from INDF1, for example, reads
the data at the address indicated by FSR1H:FSR1L.
Instructions that use the INDF registers as operands
actually use the contents of their corresponding FSR as
a pointer to the instruction’s target. The INDF operand
is just a convenient way of using the pointer.
In this context, accessing an INDF register uses the
value in the FSR registers without changing them. Similarly, accessing a PLUSW register gives the FSR value
offset by that in the W register; neither value is actually
changed in the operation. Accessing the other virtual
registers changes the value of the FSR registers.
Because Indirect Addressing uses a full 12-bit address,
data RAM banking is not necessary. Thus, the current
contents of the BSR and the Access RAM bit have no
effect on determining the target address.
FIGURE 6-7:
FSR Registers and POSTINC,
POSTDEC, PREINC and PLUSW
Operations on the FSRs with POSTDEC, POSTINC
and PREINC affect the entire register pair; that is, rollovers of the FSRnL register from FFh to 00h carry over
to the FSRnH register. On the other hand, results of
these operations do not change the value of any flags
in the STATUS register (e.g., Z, N, OV, etc.).

PIC18F1230/1330
The PLUSW register can be used to implement a form
of Indexed Addressing in the data memory space. By
manipulating the value in the W register, users can
reach addresses that are fixed offsets from pointer
addresses. In some applications, this can be used to
implement some powerful program control structure,
such as software stacks, inside of data memory.
6.4.3.3
Operations by FSRs on FSRs
Indirect Addressing operations that target other FSRs
or virtual registers represent special cases. For
example, using an FSR to point to one of the virtual
registers will not result in successful operations. As a
specific case, assume that FSR0H:FSR0L contains
FE7h, the address of INDF1. Attempts to read the
value of the INDF1 using INDF0 as an operand will
return 00h. Attempts to write to INDF1 using INDF0 as
the operand will result in a NOP.
On the other hand, using the virtual registers to write to
an FSR pair may not occur as planned. In these cases,
the value will be written to the FSR pair but without any
incrementing or decrementing. Thus, writing to INDF2
or POSTDEC2 will write the same value to the
FSR2H:FSR2L.
Since the FSRs are physical registers mapped in the
SFR space, they can be manipulated through all direct
operations. Users should proceed cautiously when
working on these registers, particularly if their code
uses Indirect Addressing.
Similarly, operations by Indirect Addressing are generally permitted on all other SFRs. Users should exercise
the appropriate caution that they do not inadvertently
change settings that might affect the operation of the
device.
6.5
Data Memory and the Extended
Instruction Set
Enabling the PIC18 extended instruction set (XINST
Configuration bit = 1) significantly changes certain
aspects of data memory and its addressing. Specifically,
the use of the Access Bank for many of the core PIC18
instructions is different; this is due to the introduction of
a new addressing mode for the data memory space.
What does not change is just as important. The size of
the data memory space is unchanged, as well as its
linear addressing. The SFR map remains the same.
Core PIC18 instructions can still operate in both Direct
and Indirect Addressing mode; inherent and literal
instructions do not change at all. Indirect Addressing
with FSR0 and FSR1 also remains unchanged.
 2009 Microchip Technology Inc.
6.5.1
INDEXED ADDRESSING WITH
LITERAL OFFSET
Enabling the PIC18 extended instruction set changes
the behavior of Indirect Addressing using the FSR2
register pair within Access RAM. Under the proper
conditions, instructions that use the Access Bank – that
is, most bit-oriented and byte-oriented instructions – can
invoke a form of Indexed Addressing using an offset
specified in the instruction. This special addressing
mode is known as Indexed Addressing with Literal
Offset, or Indexed Literal Offset mode.
When using the extended instruction set, this
addressing mode requires the following:
• The use of the Access Bank is forced (‘a’ = 0);
and
• The file address argument is less than or equal to
5Fh.
Under these conditions, the file address of the
instruction is not interpreted as the lower byte of an
address (used with the BSR in Direct Addressing), or
as an 8-bit address in the Access Bank. Instead, the
value is interpreted as an offset value to an Address
Pointer, specified by FSR2. The offset and the contents
of FSR2 are added to obtain the target address of the
operation.
6.5.2
INSTRUCTIONS AFFECTED BY
INDEXED LITERAL OFFSET MODE
Any of the core PIC18 instructions that can use Direct
Addressing are potentially affected by the Indexed
Literal Offset Addressing mode. This includes all
byte-oriented and bit-oriented instructions, or almost
one-half of the standard PIC18 instruction set.
Instructions that only use Inherent or Literal Addressing
modes are unaffected.
Additionally, byte-oriented and bit-oriented instructions
are not affected if they do not use the Access Bank
(Access RAM bit is ‘1’), or include a file address of 60h
or above. Instructions meeting these criteria will
continue to execute as before. A comparison of the
different possible addressing modes when the
extended instruction set is enabled is shown in
Figure 6-8.
Those who desire to use bit-oriented or byte-oriented
instructions in the Indexed Literal Offset mode should
note the changes to assembler syntax for this mode.
This is described in more detail in Section 22.2.1
“Extended Instruction Syntax”.

MAPPING THE ACCESS BANK IN
INDEXED LITERAL OFFSET
ADDRESSING MODE
The use of Indexed Literal Offset Addressing mode
effectively changes how the first 96 locations of Access
RAM (00h to 5Fh) are mapped. Rather than containing
just the contents of the bottom half of Bank 0, this mode
maps the contents from Bank 0 and a user-defined
“window” that can be located anywhere in the data
memory space. The value of FSR2 establishes the
lower boundary of the addresses mapped into the
window, while the upper boundary is defined by FSR2
plus 95 (5Fh). Addresses in the Access RAM above
5Fh are mapped as previously described (see
Section 6.3.2 “Access Bank”). An example of Access
Bank remapping in this addressing mode is shown in
Figure 6-9.
FIGURE 6-9:
Remapping of the Access Bank applies only to
operations using the Indexed Literal Offset Addressing
mode. Operations that use the BSR (Access RAM bit is
‘1’) will continue to use Direct Addressing as before.

FLASH PROGRAM MEMORY
7.1
Table Reads and Table Writes
The Flash program memory is readable, writable and
erasable during normal operation over the entire VDD
range.
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:
A read from program memory is executed on one byte
at a time. A write to program memory is executed on
blocks of 8 bytes at a time. Program memory is erased
in blocks of 64 bytes at a time. A bulk erase operation
may not be issued from user code.
• Table Read (TBLRD)
• Table Write (TBLWT)
Writing or erasing program memory will cease
instruction fetches until the operation is complete. The
program memory cannot be accessed during the write
or erase, therefore, code cannot execute. An internal
programming timer terminates program memory writes
and erases.
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.
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).
Table read operations retrieve data from program
memory and place it into the data RAM space.
Figure 7-1 shows the operation of a table read with
program memory and data RAM.
Table write operations store data from the data memory
space into holding registers in program memory. The
procedure to write the contents of the holding registers
into program memory is detailed in Section 7.5 “Writing
to Flash Program Memory”. Figure 7-2 shows the
operation of a table write with program memory and data
RAM.
Table operations work with byte entities. A table block
containing data, rather than program instructions, is not
required to be word-aligned. Therefore, a table block can
start and end at any byte address. If a table write is being
used to write executable code into program memory,
program instructions will need to be word-aligned.

7.2
Control Registers
Several control registers are used in conjunction with
the TBLRD and TBLWT instructions. These include the:
•
•
•
•
EECON1 register
EECON2 register
TABLAT register
TBLPTR registers
7.2.1
EECON1 AND EECON2 REGISTERS
The EECON1 register (Register 7-1) is the control
register for memory accesses. The EECON2 register is
not a physical register; it is used exclusively in the
memory write and erase sequences. Reading
EECON2 will read all ‘0’s.
The EEPGD control bit determines if the access will be
a program or data EEPROM memory access. When
clear, any subsequent operations will operate on the
data EEPROM memory. When set, any subsequent
operations will operate on the program memory.
The CFGS control bit determines if the access will be
to the Configuration/Calibration registers or to program
memory/data EEPROM memory. When set,
subsequent operations will operate on Configuration
registers regardless of EEPGD (see Section 20.0
“Special Features of the CPU”). When clear, memory
selection access is determined by EEPGD.
DS39758D-page 72
The FREE bit, when set, will allow a program memory
erase operation. When FREE is set, the erase
operation is initiated on the next WR command. When
FREE is clear, only writes are enabled.
The WREN bit, when set, will allow a write operation.
On power-up, the WREN bit is clear. The WRERR bit is
set in hardware when the WR bit is set and cleared
when the internal programming timer expires and the
write operation is complete.
Note:
During normal operation, the WRERR
may read as ‘1’. This can indicate that a
write operation was prematurely terminated by a Reset, or a write operation was
attempted improperly.
The WR control bit initiates write operations. The bit
cannot be cleared, only set, in software; it is cleared in
hardware at the completion of the write operation.
Note:
The EEIF interrupt flag bit (PIR2<4>) is set
when the write is complete. It must be
cleared in software.

7.2.2
TABLAT – TABLE LATCH REGISTER
7.2.4
The Table Latch (TABLAT) is an 8-bit register mapped
into the SFR space. The Table Latch register is used to
hold 8-bit data during data transfers between program
memory and data RAM.
7.2.3
TBLPTR is used in reads, writes and erases of the
Flash program memory.
When a TBLRD is executed, all 22 bits of the TBLPTR
determine which byte is read from program memory
into TABLAT.
TBLPTR – TABLE POINTER
REGISTER
When the timed write to program memory begins (via
the WR bit), the 19 MSbs of the TBLPTR
(TBLPTR<21:3>) determine which program memory
block of 8 bytes is written to. The Table Pointer register’s three LSBs (TBLPTR<2:0>) are ignored. For more
detail, see Section 7.5 “Writing to Flash Program
Memory”.
The Table Pointer (TBLPTR) register 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 loworder 21 bits allow the device to address up to
2 Mbytes of program memory space. The 22nd bit
allows access to the device ID, the user ID and the
Configuration bits.
When an erase of program memory is executed, the
16 MSbs of the Table Pointer register (TBLPTR<21:6>)
point to the 64-byte block that will be erased. The Least
Significant bits (TBLPTR<5:0>) are ignored.
Figure 7-3 describes the relevant boundaries of
TBLPTR based on Flash program memory operations.
The Table Pointer register, 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 7-1. These operations on the TBLPTR only affect
the low-order 21 bits.

7.3
Reading the Flash Program
Memory
The TBLRD instruction is used to retrieve data from
program memory and places it 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 7-4
shows the interface between the internal program
memory and the TABLAT.
TBLPTR points to a byte address in program space.
Executing TBLRD places the byte pointed to into
TABLAT. In addition, TBLPTR can be modified
automatically for the next table read operation.

7.4.1
Erasing Flash Program Memory
The minimum erase block is 32 words or 64 bytes. Only
through the use of an external programmer, or through
ICSP control, can larger blocks of program memory be
bulk erased. Word erase in the Flash array is not
supported.
The sequence of events for erasing a block of internal
program memory location is:
1.
When initiating an erase sequence from the microcontroller itself, a block of 64 bytes of program memory
is erased. The Most Significant 16 bits of the
TBLPTR<21:6> point to the block being erased.
TBLPTR<5:0> are ignored.
2.
The EECON1 register commands the erase operation.
The EEPGD bit must be set to point to the Flash
program memory. The WREN bit must be set to enable
write operations. The FREE bit is set to select an erase
operation.
3.
4.
5.
6.
For protection, the write initiate sequence for EECON2
must be used.
7.
A long write is necessary for erasing the internal Flash.
Instruction execution is halted while in a long write
cycle. The long write will be terminated by the internal
programming timer.

The minimum programming block is 4 words or 8 bytes.
Word or byte programming is not supported.
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.
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.
The EEPROM on-chip timer controls the write time.
The write/erase voltages are generated by an on-chip
charge pump, rated to operate over the voltage range
of the device.
7.5
Writing to Flash Program Memory
Since the Table Latch (TABLAT) is only a single byte,
the TBLWT instruction may need 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
the 8 holding registers, the EECON1 register must be
written to in order to start the programming operation with
a long write.
FIGURE 7-5:
Note:
The default value of the holding registers on
device Resets and after write operations is
FFh. A write of FFh to a holding register
does not modify that byte. This means that
individual bytes of program memory may be
modified, provided that the change does not
attempt to change any bit from a ‘0’ to a ‘1’.
When modifying individual bytes, it is not
necessary to load all 8 holding registers
before executing a write operation.

DATA EEPROM MEMORY
8.2
EECON1 and EECON2 Registers
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).
Access to the data EEPROM is controlled by two
registers: EECON1 and EECON2. These are the same
registers which control access to the program memory
and are used in a similar manner for the data
EEPROM.
There are four SFRs used to read and write the
program and data EEPROM memory. These registers
are:
The EECON1 register (Register 7-1) is the control register for data and program memory access. 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.
•
•
•
•
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 128 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 in Section 23.0
“Electrical Characteristics”) for exact limits.
8.1
EEADR Register
The EEPROM Address register can address 256 bytes
of data EEPROM.
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, when set, will allow a write operation.
On power-up, the WREN bit is clear. The WRERR bit is
set in hardware when the WREN bit is set and cleared
when the internal programming timer expires and the
write operation is complete.
Note 1: During normal operation, the WRERR bit
is read as ‘1’. This can indicate that a
write operation was prematurely terminated by a Reset, or a write operation
was attempted improperly. The WR control bit initiates write operations. The bit
cannot be cleared, only set, in software; it
is cleared in hardware at the completion
of the write operation.
2: The Interrupt Flag bit, EEIF in the PIR2
register, is set when write is complete. It
must be cleared in the software 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 7.1 “Table Reads
and Table Writes” regarding table reads.
Note:
 2009 Microchip Technology Inc.
The EECON2 register is not a physical
register. It is used exclusively in the memory write and erase sequences. Reading
EECON2 will read all ‘0’s.

8.3
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.
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).
8.4
At the completion of the write cycle, the WR bit is
cleared in hardware and the EEPROM Interrupt Flag bit
(EEIF) is set. The user may either enable this interrupt
or poll this bit. EEIF must be cleared by software.
8.5
Writing to the Data EEPROM
Memory
Depending on the application, good programming
practice may dictate that the value written to the
memory should be verified against the original value.
This should be used in applications where excessive
writes can stress bits near the specification limit.
To 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 8-2 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 0AAh to
EECON2, then set WR bit) for each byte. It is strongly
recommended that interrupts be disabled during this
code segment.

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.
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.
EXAMPLE 8-1:
Write Verify
The write initiate sequence and the WREN bit together
help prevent an accidental write during brown-out,
power glitch, or software malfunction.

Operation During Code-Protect
8.8
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. 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 20.0
“Special Features of the CPU” for additional
information.
A simple data EEPROM refresh routine is shown in
Example 8-3.

8 x 8 HARDWARE MULTIPLIER
9.1
Introduction
EXAMPLE 9-1:
MOVF
MULWF
All PIC18 devices include an 8 x 8 hardware multiplier
as part of the ALU. The multiplier performs an unsigned
operation and yields a 16-bit result that is stored in the
Product register pair, PRODH:PRODL. The multiplier’s
operation does not affect any flags in the STATUS
register.

;
; ARG1 * ARG2 ->
; PRODH:PRODL
EXAMPLE 9-2:
Making multiplication a hardware operation allows it to
be completed in a single instruction cycle. This has the
advantages of higher computational throughput and
reduced code size for multiplication algorithms and
allows the PIC18 devices to be used in many
applications previously reserved for digital signal
processors. A comparison of various hardware and
software multiply operations, along with the savings in
memory and execution time, is shown in Table 9-1.

Operation
Example 9-1 shows the instruction sequence for an 8 x 8
unsigned multiplication. Only one instruction is required
when one of the arguments is already loaded in the
WREG register.
Example 9-2 shows the sequence to do an 8 x 8 signed
multiplication. To account for the sign bits of the
arguments, each argument’s Most Significant bit (MSb)
is tested and the appropriate subtractions are done.

I/O PORTS
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 register)
The Output Latch (LAT register) is useful for readmodify-write 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.

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 the Configuration register (see Section 20.1 “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 RA0 pin is multiplexed with one of the analog
inputs, one of the external interrupt inputs, one of the
interrupt-on-change inputs and one of the analog
comparator inputs to become RA0/AN0/INT0/KBI0/
CMP0 pin.
The RA1 pin is multiplexed with one of the analog
inputs, one of the external interrupt inputs and one of
the interrupt-on-change inputs to become RA1/AN1/
INT1/KBI1 pin.
D
The RA4 pin is multiplexed with the Timer0 module
clock input, one of the analog inputs and the analog
VREF+ input to become the RA4/T0CKI/AN2/VREF+ pin.
The Fault detect input for PWM FLTA is multiplexed with
pins RA5 and RA7. Its placement is decided by clearing
or setting the FLTAMX bit of Configuration Register 3H.
Data Latch
WR TRIS
The Output Latch (LATA) register is also memory
mapped. Read-modify-write operations on the LATA
register read and write the latched output value for
PORTA.
Pins RA2 and RA3 are multiplexed with the Enhanced
USART transmission and reception input (see
Section 20.1 “Configuration Bits” for details).
RD LAT

Reading the PORTA register reads the status of the
pins, whereas writing to it, will write to the port latch.

On a Power-on Reset, RA0, RA1, RA4
and RA5 are configured as analog inputs
and read as ‘0’. RA2 and RA3 are
configured as digital inputs.
The TRISA register controls the direction of the PORTA
pins, even when they are being used as analog inputs.
The user must ensure the bits in the TRISA register are
maintained set when using them as analog inputs.

PORTA, TRISA and LATA Registers
PORTA is an 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).

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 Output Latch register (LATB) is also memory
mapped. Read-modify-write operations on the LATB
register read and write the latched output value for
PORTB.

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.
Note:
Pins RB0, RB1 and RB4:RB7 are multiplexed with the
Power Control PWM outputs.
Pins RB2 and RB3 are multiplexed with external interrupt
inputs, interrupt-on-change input, the analog comparator
inputs and the Timer1 oscillator input and output to
become RB2/INT2/KBI2/CMP2/T1OSO/T1CKI and
RB3/INT3/KNBI3/CMP1/T1OSI, respectively.
When the interrupt-on-change feature is enabled, only
pins configured as inputs can cause this interrupt to
occur (i.e., any RB2, RB3, RA0 and RA1 pin configured
as an output is excluded from the interrupt-on-change
comparison). The input pins (RB2, RB3, RA0 and RA1)
are compared with the old value latched on the last
read of PORTA and PORTB. The “mismatch” outputs of
these pins are ORed together to generate the RB Port
Change Interrupt with Flag bit, RBIF (INTCON<0>).
This interrupt can wake the device from Sleep mode, or
any of the Idle modes. The user, in the Interrupt Service
Routine, can clear the interrupt in the following manner:
a)
b)
c)
Any read or write of PORTB (except with the
MOVFF (ANY), PORTB instruction).
1 TCY
Clear flag bit, RBIF.
A mismatch condition will continue to set flag bit, RBIF.
Reading PORTB and waiting 1 TCY will end the mismatch condition and allow flag bit, RBIF, to be cleared.
Additionally, if the port pin returns to its original state,
the mismatch condition will be cleared.
The interrupt-on-change feature is recommended for
wake-up on key depression operation and operations
where PORTA and PORTB are used for the interrupton-change feature. Polling of PORTA and PORTB is
not recommended while using the interrupt-on-change
feature.
On a Power-on Reset, PORTB is
configured as digital inputs except for RB2
and RB3.
RB2 and RB3 are configured as analog
inputs when the T1OSCMX bit of Configuration Register 3H is cleared. Otherwise,
RB2 and RB3 are also configured as
digital inputs.

INTERRUPTS
The PIC18F1230/1330 devices have multiple interrupt
sources and an interrupt priority feature that allows
most interrupt sources to be assigned a high-priority
level or a low-priority level. The high-priority interrupt
vector is at 0008h and the low-priority interrupt vector
is at 0018h. High-priority interrupt events will interrupt
any low-priority interrupts that may be in progress.
There are thirteen 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, interrupt sources have three bits to control
their operation. They 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
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 0008h or 0018h,
depending on the priority bit setting. Individual
interrupts can be disabled through their corresponding
enable bits.
 2009 Microchip Technology Inc.
When the IPEN bit is cleared (default state), the
interrupt priority feature is disabled and interrupts are
compatible with PIC® 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
0008h 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 lowpriority 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 (0008h
or 0018h). Once in the Interrupt Service Routine, the
source(s) of the interrupt can be determined by polling
the interrupt flag bits. The interrupt flag bits must be
cleared in software before re-enabling interrupts to
avoid recursive interrupts.
The “return from interrupt” instruction, RETFIE, exits
the interrupt routine and sets the GIE bit (GIEH or GIEL
if priority levels are used), which re-enables interrupts.
For external interrupt events, such as the INT pins or
the PORTB input change interrupt, the interrupt latency
will be three to four instruction cycles. The exact
latency is the same for one or two-cycle instructions.
Individual interrupt flag bits are set, regardless of the
status of their corresponding enable bit or the GIE bit.
Note:
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.

INTx Pin Interrupts
11.7
External interrupts on the RA0/INT0, RA1/INT1, RB2/
INT2 and RB3/INT3 pins are edge-triggered. If the
corresponding INTEDGx bit in the INTCON2 register is
set (= 1), the interrupt is triggered by a rising edge; if
the bit is clear, the trigger is on the falling edge. When
a valid edge appears on the pin, the corresponding flag
bit, INTxIF, is set. This interrupt can be disabled by
clearing the corresponding enable bit, INTxIE. Flag bit,
INTxIF, must be cleared in software in the Interrupt
Service Routine before re-enabling the interrupt.
All external interrupts (INT0, INT1, INT2 and INT3) can
wake-up the processor from Idle or Sleep modes if bit
INTxIE was set prior to going into those 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, INT2 and INT3 is determined
by the value contained in the interrupt priority bits,
INT1IP (INTCON3<6>), INT2IP (INTCON3<7>) and
INT3IP (INTCON2<1>). 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 in the
TMR0 register (FFh  00h) will set flag bit, TMR0IF. In
16-bit mode, an overflow in the TMR0H:TMR0L
register pair (FFFFh  0000h) will set 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 12.0 “Timer0 Module” for further details on
the Timer0 module.
11.8
Interrupt-on-Change
An input change on PORTA<1:0> and/or PORTB<2:3>
sets flag bit, RBIF (INTCON<0>). The interrupt can be
enabled/disabled by setting/clearing enable bit, RBIE
(INTCON<3>). Interrupt priority for interrupt-on-change
is determined by the value contained in the interrupt
priority bit, RBIP (INTCON2<0>).
11.9
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 6.3
“Data Memory Organization”), 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 11-1 saves and restores the WREG,
STATUS and BSR registers during an Interrupt Service
Routine.

12.2.1
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.
12.3
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.
12.4
An 8-bit counter is available as a prescaler for the Timer0
module. The prescaler is not readable or writable.
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 12-1:
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 12-2). 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
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 RA4/T0CKI/AN2/VREF+.
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 timer/counter module 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
• Status of system clock operation
Figure 13-1 is a simplified block diagram of the Timer1
module.
REGISTER 13-1:
Register 13-1 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.

13.1
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 Operation
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 T1OSI and T1OSO/T1CKI pins become
inputs. That is, the corresponding TRISA bit value is
ignored, and the pins are read as ‘0’.
The operating mode is determined by the Clock Select
bit, TMR1CS (T1CON<1>).

Timer1 Oscillator
A crystal oscillator circuit is built-in between pins T1OSI
(input) and T1OSO/TICKI (amplifier output). The placement of these pins depends on the value of Configuration
bit, T1OSCMX (see Section 20.1 “Configuration
Bits”). 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 13-3. Table 13-1 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 Timer1 oscillator is also available as a clock source
in power-managed modes. By setting the System
Clock Select bits, SCS1:SCS0 (OSCCON<1:0>), to
‘01’, the device switches to SEC_RUN mode; both the
CPU and peripherals are clocked from the Timer1 oscillator. If the IDLEN bit (OSCCON<7>) is cleared and a
SLEEP instruction is executed, the device enters
SEC_IDLE mode. Additional details are available in
Section 4.0 “Power-Managed Modes”.
Whenever the Timer1 oscillator is providing the clock
source, the Timer1 system clock status flag, T1RUN
(T1CON<6>), is set. This can be used to determine the
controller’s current clocking mode. It can also indicate
the clock source being currently used by the Fail-Safe
Clock Monitor. If the Clock Monitor is enabled and the
Timer1 oscillator fails while providing the clock, polling
the T1RUN bit will indicate whether the clock is being
provided by the Timer1 oscillator or another source.

Considerations
The oscillator circuit, shown in Figure 13-3, 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.
If a high-speed circuit must be located near the
oscillator (such as the PWM pin, or the primary
oscillator using the OSC2 pin), a grounded guard ring
around the oscillator circuit, as shown in Figure 13-4,
may be helpful when used on a single-sided PCB, or in
addition to a ground plane.

Timer1 Interrupt
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>).
13.5
Timer1 16-Bit Read/Write Mode
Timer1 can be configured for 16-bit reads and writes
(see Figure 13-2). 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 register. 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.
DS39758D-page 114
13.6
Using Timer1 as a Real-Time Clock
Adding an external LP oscillator to Timer1 (such as the
one described in Section 13.2 “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 super capacitor 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 13-1, 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 MSb 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.

POWER CONTROL PWM
MODULE
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
The PWM module has the following features:
• Up to six PWM I/O pins with three duty cycle
generators. Pins can be paired to acquire 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 Trigger comparator for triggering A/D
conversion.
• 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 PIC18F1230/
1330 devices. A simplified block diagram of the module
is shown in Figure 14-1. Figure 14-2 and Figure 14-3
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 three duty cycle generators,
numbered 0 through 2. The module has six PWM
output pins, numbered 0 through 5. The six PWM
outputs are grouped into output pairs of even and odd
numbered outputs. In Complementary modes, the
even PWM pins must always be the complement of the
corresponding odd PWM pins. For example, PWM0 will
be the complement of PWM1 and PWM2 will be the
complement of PWM3. The dead-time generator
 2009 Microchip Technology Inc.
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 14-4.
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:
The PTMR register pair (PTMRL:PTMRH)
is not cleared when the PTEN bit is
cleared in software.

•
•

•
Free-Running mode

for double updates
 2009 Microchip Technology Inc.
These four modes are selected by the
PTMOD1:PTMOD0 bits in the PTCON0 register. The
Free-Running mode produces edge-aligned PWM
generation. The Continuous Up/Down Count modes
produce center-aligned PWM generation. The SingleShot mode allows the PWM module to support pulse
control of certain Electronically Commutated Motors
(ECMs) and produces edge-aligned operation.

14.3.1
FREE-RUNNING MODE
In the Free-Running mode, the PWM time base
(PTMRL and PTMRH) will begin counting upwards until
the value in the PWM Time Base Period register,
PTPER (PTPERL and PTPERH), is matched. The
PTMR registers will be reset on the following input
clock edge and the time base will continue counting
upwards as long as the PTEN bit remains set.
14.3.2
SINGLE-SHOT MODE
In the Single-Shot mode, the PWM time base will begin
counting upwards when the PTEN bit is set. When the
value in the PTMR register matches the PTPER
register, the PTMR register will be reset on the
following input clock edge and the PTEN bit will be
cleared by the hardware to halt the time base.
14.3.3
14.3.4
Since the PWM compare outputs are
driven to the active state when the PWM
time-base is counting downwards and
matches the duty cycle value, the PWM
outputs are held inactive during the first
half of the first period of the Continuous
Up/Down Count mode until the PTMR
begins to count down from the PTPER
value.
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

PTDIR bit in the PTCON1 register is read-only and
indicates the counting direction. The PTDIR bit is set
when the timer counts downwards.
Note:
Table 14-1 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 are 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 POSTSCALER
The match output of PTMR can optionally be
postscaled 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 PTCONx register
• Any device Reset
The PTMR register is not cleared when PTCONx is
written.
14.4
PWM Time Base Interrupts
The PWM timer can generate interrupts based on the
modes of operation selected by the PTMOD<1:0> bits
and the postscaler bits (PTOPS<3:0>).
14.4.1
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.
Using a postscaler selection other than 1:1 will reduce
the frequency of interrupt events.

INTERRUPTS IN SINGLE-SHOT
MODE
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 Time Base 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 Timer mode.

INTERRUPTS IN CONTINUOUS
UP/DOWN COUNT MODE
In the Continuous Up/Down Count mode
(PTMOD<1:0> = 10), an interrupt event is generated
each time the value of the PTMR register becomes
zero and the PWM time base begins to count upwards.
The postscaler selection bits may be used in this Timer
mode to reduce the frequency of the interrupt events.
Figure 14-7 shows the interrupts in Continuous Up/

INTERRUPTS IN DOUBLE UPDATE
MODE
2.
This mode is available in Continuous Up/Down Count
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 the PTPER register. Figure 14-8 shows the
interrupts in Continuous Up/Down Count mode with
double updates.
Asymmetrical center-aligned PWM waveforms
can be generated, which are useful for
minimizing output waveform distortion in certain
motor control applications.
Do not change the PTMOD bits while
PTEN is active. It will yield unexpected
results. To change the PWM Timer mode
of operation, first clear the PTEN bit, load
PTMOD bits with required data and then
set PTEN.
Note:
The Double Update mode provides two additional
functions to the user in Center-Aligned mode.
1.
The control loop bandwidth is doubled because
the PWM duty cycles can be updated twice per
period.

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 14-4:
Resolution =
The PWM resolutions and frequencies are shown for a
selection of execution speeds and PTPER values in
Table 14-2. The PWM frequencies in Table 14-2 are
calculated for Edge-Aligned PWM mode. For CenterAligned mode, the PWM frequencies will be
approximately one-half the values indicated in this
table.

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

• Continuous Up/Down Count modes: When the
PTMR register is zero. The value held in the PTPER
buffer is automatically loaded into the PTPER

PWM Duty Cycle
PWM duty cycle is defined by the PDCx (PDCxL and
PDCxH) registers. There are a total of three PWM Duty
Cycle registers for four pairs of PWM channels. The
Duty Cycle registers have 14-bit resolution by combining the six 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.
14.6.1
PWM DUTY CYCLE REGISTERS
There are three 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)
PTMR and the lower 2 bits are equal to Q1, Q2, Q3 or
Q4, depending on the lower two bits of the PDCx (when
the prescaler is 1:1 or PTCKPS<1:0> = 00).
Note:
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 14.7
“Dead-Time Generators”).
Note:
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 PDCx hold the actual duty
cycle value from PTMRH/L<11:0>, while the lower two
bits control which internal Q clock the duty cycle match
will occur. This 2-bit value is decoded from the Q
clocks, as shown in Figure 14-11, when the prescaler is
1:1 (PTCKPS<1:0> = 00).
When the prescaler is not 1:1
(PTCKPS<1:0>  ~00), the duty cycle
match occurs at the Q1 clock of the
instruction cycle when the PTMR and
PDCx match occurs.
To get the correct PWM duty cycle, always
multiply the calculated PWM duty cycle
value by four before writing it to the PWM
Duty Cycle registers. This is due to the two
additional LSBs in the PWM Duty Cycle
registers which are compared against the
internal Q clock for the PWM duty cycle
match.
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 PDCx are equal to the

14.6.2
DUTY CYCLE REGISTER BUFFERS
The three PWM Duty Cycle registers are doublebuffered 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 14-12. 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 Continuous Up/
Down Count 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 14-13 shows
the timings when the duty cycle update occurs for the
Continuous 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 Continuous Up/
Down Count 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
previously described conditions. Figure 14-14 shows
the duty cycle updates for Continuous Up/Down Count
mode with double updates. In this mode, up to half of a
PWM period is available for calculating and loading the
new PWM duty cycle before changes take effect.
FIGURE 14-13:
14.6.3
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 14-12). 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 a
Continuous Up/Down Count mode (see Figure 14-15).
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 14-15:
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 CenterAligned mode, the PWM Time Base
Period register (PTPER) is loaded into the
PWM Time Base 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.

In Complementary mode, the duty cycle comparison
units are assigned to the PWM outputs as follows:
• PDC0 register controls PWM1/PWM0 outputs
• PDC1 register controls PWM3/PWM2 outputs
• PDC2 register controls PWM5/PWM4 outputs
PWM1/3/5 are the main PWMs that are controlled by
the PDCx registers and PWM0/2/4 are the
complemented outputs. When using the PWMs to
control the half-bridge, the odd number PWMs can be
used to control the upper power switch and the even
numbered PWMs can be used for the lower switches.
DS39758D-page 134
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.

14.7.1
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. The following sections explain the
dead-time block in detail.
FIGURE 14-17:
Each complementary output pair for the PWM module
has a 6-bit down counter used to produce the deadtime insertion. As shown in Figure 14-17, each deadtime 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 14-18.

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.
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.

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<1:0>) 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 (PTCKPS<1:0> = 00, FOSC/4)
and the dead-time counter is clocked by the
FOSC/2 (DTPS<1:0> = 00).
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 DTPS<1:0> 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.

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
output 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 an undesirable situation. Disable
the PWM (PTEN = 0) before changing the
dead-time value.

register is set. No dead-time control is implemented
between the PWM I/O pins when the module is operating in the Independent PWM mode and both I/O pins

DUTY CYCLE ASSIGNMENT IN THE
INDEPENDENT PWM MODE
In the Independent PWM 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 the PDC0 register to set the duty cycle,
PWM3 and PWM2 with PDC1, and PWM5 and PWM4
with PDC2 (see Figure 14-3 and Register 14-3).

14.8.2
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 PWM mode:
• I/O pin outputs PWM signal
• I/O pin inactive
• I/O pin active
Refer to Section 14.10 “PWM Output Override” for
details for all the override functions.

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 the 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 PDCx values are held as they
are after the single-pulse output. To have
another cycle of single pulse, only PTEN
has to be enabled.
14.10 PWM Output Override
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.
DS39758D-page 138
OVDCOND and OVDCONS registers are used to
define the PWM override options. The OVDCOND
register contains six bits, POVD5:POVD0, that
determine which PWM I/O pins will be overridden. The
OVDCONS register contains six bits, POUT5: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 PDCx 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.
14.10.1
COMPLEMENTARY OUTPUT MODE
The even numbered PWM I/O pins have 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 the POUT bits in the 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 14-2 for details).
14.10.2
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
the 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 14-20.
2: Dead time inserted in the PWM channels
even when they are in Override mode.

OUTPUT OVERRIDE EXAMPLES
Figure 14-21 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 14-16.
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 14-21 are given in
Table 14-4.
REGISTER 14-6:
The PWM Duty Cycle registers may be used in
conjunction with the OVDCOND and OVDCONS
registers. The Duty Cycle registers control the average

sequence. Figure 14-22 shows the waveforms, while

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 to ‘100’ on a device Reset:
All PWM pins will be enabled for PWM output and will
have the output polarity defined by the HPOL and
LPOL Configuration bits.
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.
The PWM Fault input is FLTA, which can come from
I/O pins, the CPU or another module. The FLTA pin is
an active-low input so it is easy to “OR” many sources
to the same input.
The FLTCONFIG register (Register 14-8) defines the
settings of the FLTA input.
Note:
The inactive state of the PWM pins is
dependent on the HPOL and LPOL Configuration bit settings, which define the
active and inactive state for PWM outputs.
14.12 PWM Fault Input
14.12.1
There is one Fault input associated with the PWM
module. The main purpose of the input Fault pin is to
disable the PWM output signals and drive them into an
inactive state. The action of the Fault input is performed
By setting the bit FLTAEN in the FLTCONFIG register,
the corresponding Fault input is enabled. If FLTAEN bit
is cleared, then the Fault input has no effect on the
PWM module.

FAULT INPUT MODE
14.12.3
The FLTAMOD bit in the FLTCONFIG register
determines whether the PWM I/O pins are deactivated
when they are overridden by a Fault input.
FLTAS bit in the FLTCONFIG register gives the status
of the Fault A input.
The Fault input has two modes of operation:
• Inactive Mode (FLTAMOD = 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
(FLTAS) is cleared.
• Cycle-by-Cycle Mode (FLTAMOD = 1)
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 FLTAS bit is
automatically cleared.

While in the Fault state (i.e., FLTA input is active), the
PWM output signals are driven into their inactive

14.12.4
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 an In-Circuit
Debugger (ICD). Setting the BRFEN bit 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.
Note:
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, the
BRFEN bit can be disabled.

14.13 PWM Update Lockout
For a complex PWM application, the user may need to
write up to four Duty Cycle registers and the PWM 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.
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
register, PTPER.
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 a
Continuous Up/Down Count 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 only effects this operation
when the PWM timer is in the Continuous Up/Down
Count mode.
Note:
The Special Event Trigger will take place
only for non-zero values in the SEVTCMP
registers.
14.14.1
SPECIAL EVENT TRIGGER ENABLE
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.
14.14 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 module will always produce Special Event
Trigger pulses. This signal may optionally be used by
the A/D module. Refer to Chapter 16.0 "10-Bit
Analog-to-Digital Converter (A/D) Module" for
details.
14.14.2
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 Trigger output postscaler is cleared
on any write to the SEVTCMP register pair, or on any
device Reset.
The PWM 16-bit Special Event Trigger register,
SEVTCMP (high and low), and five control bits in the
PWMCON1 register are used to control its operation.

ENHANCED UNIVERSAL
SYNCHRONOUS
ASYNCHRONOUS RECEIVER
TRANSMITTER (EUSART)
The Enhanced Universal Synchronous Asynchronous
Receiver Transmitter (EUSART) module is one of the
two serial I/O modules. (Generically, the USART 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 Enhanced USART 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 features
make it ideally suited for use in Local Interconnect
Network bus (LIN/J2602 bus) systems.
The pins of the Enhanced USART are multiplexed
with PORTA. In order to configure RA2/TX/CK and
RA3/RX/DT as an EUSART:
• bit SPEN (RCSTA<7>) must be set (= 1)
• bit TRISA<3> must be set (= 1)
• bit TRISA<2> must be set (= 1)
Note:
The EUSART 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 (BAUDCON)
These are detailed on the following pages in
Register 15-1, Register 15-2 and Register 15-3,
respectively.
The EUSART 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

15.1
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 EUSART. By default, the BRG operates
in 8-bit mode; setting the BRG16 bit (BAUDCON<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 (BAUDCON<3>) also
control the baud rate. In Synchronous mode, BRGH is
ignored. Table 15-1 shows the formula for computation
of the baud rate for different EUSART 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 15-1. From this,
the error in baud rate can be determined. An example
calculation is shown in Example 15-1. Typical baud
rates and error values for the various Asynchronous
modes are shown in Table 15-2. It may be advantageous
to use the high baud rate (BRGH = 1), or the 16-bit BRG
to reduce the baud rate error, or achieve a slow baud
rate for a fast oscillator frequency.
TABLE 15-1:
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.
Note:
15.1.1
A BRG value of ‘0’ is not supported.
OPERATION IN POWER-MANAGED
MODES
The device clock is used to generate the desired baud
rate. When one of the power-managed modes is
entered, the new clock source may be operating at a
different frequency. This may require an adjustment to
the value in the SPBRG register pair.
15.1.2
SAMPLING
The data on the RX 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 when SYNC is clear or
when both BRG16 and BRGH are not set. The data on
the RX pin is sampled once when SYNC is set or when
BRGH16 and BRGH are both set.

EXAMPLE 15-1:
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.
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.
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 EUSART 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.
The automatic baud rate measurement sequence
(Figure 15-1) begins whenever a Start bit is received
and the ABDEN bit is set. The calculation is
self-averaging.
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 Rate
Detect must receive a byte with the value 55h (ASCII
“U”, which is also the LIN/J2602 bus Sync character) in
order to calculate the proper bit rate. The measurement
is taken 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 register pair. Once
the 5th edge is seen (this should correspond to the Stop
bit), the ABDEN bit is automatically cleared.
If a rollover of the BRG occurs (an overflow from FFFFh
to 0000h), the event is trapped by the ABDOVF status
bit (BAUDCON<7>). It is set in hardware by BRG
rollovers and can be set or cleared by the user in
software. ABD mode remains active after rollover
events and the ABDEN bit remains set (Figure 15-2).
3: To maximize baud rate range, it is recommended to set the BRG16 bit if the autobaud feature is used.

ABD and EUSART Transmission
Since the BRG clock is reversed during ABD
acquisition, the EUSART transmitter cannot be used
during ABD. This means that whenever the ABDEN bit
is set, TXREG cannot be written to. Users should also
ensure that ABDEN does not become set during a
transmit sequence. Failing to do this may result in
unpredictable EUSART operation.
While calibrating the baud rate period, the BRG
registers are clocked at 1/8th the preconfigured clock
rate. Note that the BRG clock can be configured by the
BRG16 and BRGH bits. The BRG16 bit must be set to
use both SPBRG1 and SPBRGH1 as a 16-bit counter.
This allows the user to verify that no carry occurred for
8-bit modes by checking for 00h in the SPBRGH register. Refer to Table 15-4 for counter clock rates to the
BRG.
While the ABD sequence takes place, the EUSART
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. The contents of RCREG should be discarded.

EUSART Asynchronous Mode
The Asynchronous mode of operation is selected by
clearing the SYNC bit (TXSTA<4>). In this mode, the
EUSART 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 EUSART transmits and receives the LSb first. The
EUSART’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 BAUDCON<3>). Parity is not supported by the hardware but can be
implemented in software and stored as the 9th data bit.
In Asynchronous mode, clock polarity is selected with
the TXCKP bit (BAUDCON<4>). Setting TXCKP sets
the Idle state on CK as high, while clearing the bit sets
the Idle state as low. Data polarity is selected with the
RXDTP bit (BAUDCON<5>).
Setting RXDTP inverts data on RX, while clearing the bit
has no affect on received data.

15.2.1
The EUSART transmitter block diagram is shown in
Figure 15-3. The heart of the transmitter is the Transmit
(Serial) Shift Register (TSR). The Shift register obtains
its data from the Read/Write Transmit Buffer register,
TXREG. The TXREG register is loaded with data in
software. The TSR register is not loaded until the Stop
bit has been transmitted from the previous load. As
soon as the Stop bit is transmitted, the TSR is loaded
with new data from the TXREG register (if available).
Once the TXREG register transfers the data to the TSR
register (occurs in one TCY), the TXREG register is empty
and the TXIF flag bit (PIR1<4>) is set. This interrupt can
be enabled or disabled by setting or clearing the interrupt
enable bit, TXIE (PIE1<4>). TXIF will be set regardless of
the state of TXIE; it cannot be cleared in software. TXIF
is also not cleared immediately upon loading TXREG but
becomes valid in the second instruction cycle following
the load instruction. Polling TXIF immediately following a
load of TXREG will return invalid results.
While 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 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.

EUSART ASYNCHRONOUS
RECEIVER
15.2.3
The receiver block diagram is shown in Figure 15-6.
The data is received on the RX 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

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.

15.2.4
AUTO-WAKE-UP ON SYNC
BREAK CHARACTER
During Sleep mode, all clocks to the EUSART 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 EUSART is operating in Asynchronous mode.
The auto-wake-up feature is enabled by setting the
WUE bit (BAUDCON<1>). Once set, the typical receive
sequence on RX/DT is disabled and the EUSART
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/J2602 protocol.)
 2009 Microchip Technology Inc.
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 15-8) and asynchronously if the device
is in Sleep mode (Figure 15-9). 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 EUSART module is in
Idle mode and returns to normal operation. This signals
to the user that the Sync Break event is over.
DS39758D-page 161
PIC18F1230/1330
15.2.4.1
Special Considerations Using
Auto-Wake-up
15.2.4.2
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-of-Character
and cause data or framing errors. To work properly,
therefore, the initial characters in the transmission must
be all ‘0’s. This can be 00h (8 bits) for standard RS-232
devices or 000h (12 bits) for LIN/J2602 bus.
Oscillator start-up time must also be considered,
especially in applications using oscillators with longer
start-up intervals (i.e., XT or HS 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 EUSART.
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
EUSART 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.

BREAK CHARACTER SEQUENCE
The EUSART module has the capability of sending the
special Break character sequences that are required by
the LIN/J2602 bus standard. The Break character
transmit consists of a Start bit, followed by twelve ‘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/J2602 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 15-10 for the timing of the
Break character sequence.
3.
4.
5.
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 preconfigured mode.
When the TXREG becomes empty, as indicated by the
TXIF, the next data byte can be written to TXREG.
15.2.6
RECEIVING A BREAK CHARACTER
The Enhanced USART module can receive a Break
character in two ways.
The first method forces configuration of 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).
Break and Sync Transmit Sequence
The second method uses the auto-wake-up feature
described in Section 15.2.4 “Auto-wake-up on Sync
Break Character”. By enabling this feature, the
EUSART will sample the next two transitions on RX/DT,
cause an RCIF interrupt and receive the next data byte
followed by another interrupt.
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/J2602 bus
master.
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 ABDEN
bit once the TXIF interrupt is observed.
15.2.5.1

2.
Configure the EUSART for the desired mode.
Set the TXEN and SENDB bits to set up the
Break character.

Once the TXREG register transfers the data to the TSR
register (occurs in one TCY), the TXREG is empty and
the TXIF flag bit (PIR1<4>) is set. The interrupt can be
enabled or disabled by setting or clearing the interrupt
enable bit, TXIE (PIE1<4>). TXIF is set regardless of
the state of enable bit, TXIE; it cannot be cleared in
software. It will reset only when new data is loaded into
the TXREG register.
EUSART Synchronous
Master Mode
The Master mode indicates that the processor transmits the master clock on the CK line. 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 TX and RX 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 has to poll this bit in order to
determine if the TSR register is empty. The TSR is not
mapped in data memory so it is not available to the user.
The Master mode indicates that the processor
transmits the master clock on the CK line. Clock
polarity is selected with the SCKP bit (BAUDCON<4>).
Setting SCKP sets the Idle state on CK as high, while
clearing the bit sets the Idle state as low.

The EUSART transmitter block diagram is shown in
Figure 15-3. The heart of the transmitter is the Transmit
(Serial) Shift Register (TSR). The Shift register obtains
its data from the Read/Write Transmit Buffer 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).

4.
Enable the synchronous master serial port by
setting bits, SYNC, SPEN and CSRC.
5. Ensure bits, CREN and SREN, are clear.
6. If the signal from the CK pin is to be inverted, set
the TXCKP bit.
7. If interrupts are desired, set enable bit, RCIE.
8. If 9-bit reception is desired, set bit, RX9.
9. If a single reception is required, set bit, SREN.
For continuous reception, set bit, CREN.
10. Interrupt flag bit, RCIF, will be set when reception
is complete and an interrupt will be generated if
the enable bit, RCIE, was set.
11. Read the RCSTA register to get the 9th bit (if
enabled) and determine if any error occurred
during reception.
12. Read the 8-bit received data by reading the
RCREG register.
Once Synchronous mode is selected, reception is
enabled by setting either the Single Receive Enable bit,
SREN (RCSTA<5>), or the Continuous Receive
Enable bit, CREN (RCSTA<4>). Data is sampled on the
RX pin on the falling edge of the clock.
If enable bit, SREN, is set, only a single word is
received. If enable bit, CREN, is set, the reception is
continuous until CREN is cleared. If both bits are set,
then CREN takes precedence.
To set up a Synchronous Master Reception:

To set up a Synchronous Slave Transmission:
EUSART Synchronous
Slave Mode
1.
Synchronous Slave mode is entered by clearing bit,
CSRC (TXSTA<7>). This mode differs from the
Synchronous Master mode in that the shift clock is
supplied externally at the CK pin (instead of being
supplied internally in Master mode). This allows the
device to transfer or receive data while in any low-power
mode.
15.4.1
EUSART SYNCHRONOUS
SLAVE TRANSMISSION
The operation of the Synchronous Master and Slave
modes are identical, except in the case of the Sleep
mode.
If two words are written to the TXREG and then the
SLEEP instruction is executed, the following will occur:
a)
b)
c)
d)
e)
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
The first word will immediately transfer to the
TSR register and transmit.
The second word will remain in the 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.

EUSART 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.
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 the lowpower mode. If the global interrupt is enabled, the
program will branch to the interrupt vector.
Enable the synchronous master serial port by
setting bits, SYNC and SPEN, and clearing bit,
CSRC.
2. If interrupts are desired, set enable bit, RCIE.
3. If the signal from the CK pin is to be inverted, set
the TXCKP bit.
4. If 9-bit reception is desired, set bit, RX9.
5. To enable reception, set enable bit, CREN.
6. Flag bit, RCIF, will be set when reception is
complete. 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
bit, CREN.
10. If using interrupts, ensure that the GIE and PEIE
bits in the INTCON register (INTCON<7:6>) are
set.

The analog reference voltage is software selectable to
the device’s positive supply voltage (VDD), or the
voltage level on the RA4/T0CKI/AN2/VREF+ pin.
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.
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 Converter’s internal RC oscillator.
Each port pin associated with the A/D Converter can be
configured as an analog input or as a digital I/O. The
ADRESH and ADRESL registers contain the result of
the A/D conversion. When the A/D conversion is
complete,
the
result
is
loaded
into
the
ADRESH:ADRESL register pair, the GO/DONE bit
(ADCON0 register) is cleared and A/D Interrupt Flag bit,
ADIF, is set. The block diagram of the A/D module is
shown in Figure 16-1.
The output of the sample and hold is the input into the
A/D Converter, which generates the result via successive approximation.

have their corresponding TRIS bits selected as inputs.
To determine acquisition time, see Section 16.2 “A/D

Triggering A/D Conversions
The A/D conversion can be triggered by setting the GO/
DONE bit. This bit can either be set manually by the
programmer or by setting the SEVTEN bit of ADCON0.
When the SEVTEN bit is set, the Special Event Trigger
from the Power Control PWM module triggers the A/D
conversion. For more information, see Section 14.14
“PWM Special Event Trigger”.
16.2
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 16-3. 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 k. After the analog input channel is
EQUATION 16-1:
TACQ
Note:
When the conversion is started, the
holding capacitor is disconnected from the
input pin.
To calculate the minimum acquisition time,
Equation 16-1 may be used. This equation assumes
that 1/2 LSb error is used (1024 steps for the A/D). The
1/2 LSb error is the maximum error allowed for the A/D
to meet its specified resolution.

Selecting and Configuring
Acquisition Time
16.4
Selecting the A/D Conversion
Clock
The ADCON2 register allows the user to select an
acquisition time that occurs each time the GO/DONE
bit is set. It also gives users the option to use an
automatically determined acquisition time.
The A/D conversion time per bit is defined as TAD. The
A/D conversion requires 11 TAD per 10-bit conversion.
The source of the A/D conversion clock is software
selectable. There are seven possible options for TAD:
Acquisition time may be set with the ACQT2:ACQT0 bits
(ADCON2<5:3>), which provide a range of 2 to 20 TAD.
When the GO/DONE bit is set, 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 setting the GO/DONE bit.

is
selected
when
ACQT2:ACQT0 = 000. 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 setting the GO/DONE bit. This option is
also the default Reset state of the ACQT2:ACQT0 bits
and is compatible with devices that do not offer
programmable acquisition times.
For correct A/D conversions, the A/D conversion clock
(TAD) must be as short as possible, but greater than the
minimum TAD (see parameter 130 for more
information).

Table 16-1 shows the resultant TAD times derived from

In either case, when the conversion is completed, the
GO/DONE bit is cleared, the ADIF flag is set and the
A/D begins sampling the currently selected channel
again. If an acquisition time is programmed, there is
nothing to indicate if the acquisition time has ended or
if the conversion has begun.

Operation in Power-Managed
Modes
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 ACQT2:ACQT0 and
ADCS2:ADCS0 bits in ADCON2 should be updated in
accordance with the clock source to be used in that
mode. After entering the mode, an A/D acquisition or
conversion may be started. Once started, the device
should continue to be clocked by the same clock
source until the conversion has been completed.
If desired, the device may be placed into the
corresponding Idle mode during the conversion. If the
device clock frequency is less than 1 MHz, the A/D RC
clock source should be selected.
Operation in Sleep mode requires the A/D FRC clock to
be selected. If bits ACQT2:ACQT0 are set to ‘000’ 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 bit
(OSCCON<7>) must have already been cleared prior
to starting the conversion.
DS39758D-page 176
16.6
Configuring Analog Port Pins
The ADCON1 and TRISA registers 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
CHS1:CHS0 bits 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 as
analog inputs. Analog levels on a digitally
configured input will be accurately
converted.
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.
 2009 Microchip Technology Inc.
PIC18F1230/1330
16.7
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.
A/D Conversions
Figure 16-4 shows the operation of the A/D Converter
after the GO/DONE 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.
Figure 16-5 shows the operation of the A/D Converter
after the GO/DONE bit has been set, the ACQT2:ACQT0
bits are set to ‘010’ and a 4 TAD acquisition time is
selected before the conversion starts.
16.8
Discharge
The discharge phase is used to initialize the value of
the capacitor array. The array is discharged before
every sample. This feature helps to optimize the unitygain amplifier, as the circuit always needs to charge the
capacitor array, rather than charge/discharge based on
previous measure values.
Clearing the GO/DONE bit during a conversion will abort
the current conversion. The A/D Result register pair will
NOT be updated with the partially completed A/D
conversion
sample.
This
means
that
the
ADRESH:ADRESL registers will continue to contain the
value of the last completed conversion (or the last value
written to the ADRESH:ADRESL registers).

Comparator Configuration
For every analog comparator, there is a control bit
called CMENx in the CMCON register. By setting the
CMENx bit, the corresponding comparator can be
enabled. If the Comparator mode is changed, the
comparator output level may not be valid for the
specified mode change delay shown in Section 23.0
“Electrical Characteristics”.
Note 1: When reading the PORT register, all pins
configured as analog inputs will read as a
‘0’. Pins configured as digital inputs will
convert an analog input according to the
Schmitt Trigger input specification.
2: Analog levels on any pin defined as a
digital input may cause the input buffer to
consume more current than is specified.
Comparator Operation
A single comparator is shown in Figure 17-1, along with
the relationship between the analog input levels and
the digital output. When the analog input at VIN+
(CMPx) is less than the analog input VIN- (CVREF), the
output of the comparator is a digital low level. When the
analog input at VIN+ (CMPx) is greater than the analog
input VIN- (CVREF), the output of the comparator is a
digital high level. The shaded areas of the output of the
comparator in Figure 17-1 represent the uncertainty
due to input offsets and response time.
17.3
Comparator Reference
In this comparator module, an internal voltage
reference is used (see Section 18.0 “Comparator
Voltage Reference Module”).

Comparator Outputs
The comparator outputs are read through the CxOUT
bits of the CMCON register. These bits are read-only.
The uncertainty of each of the comparators is related to
the input offset voltage and the response time given in
the specifications.
Comparator interrupts should be disabled
during a Comparator mode change;
otherwise, a false interrupt may occur.
Note:
17.2
17.5
17.6
Comparator Interrupts
The comparator interrupt flag is set whenever there is
a change in the output value of the corresponding
comparator. Software will need to maintain information
about the status of the output bits, as read from
CMCON<7:5>, to determine the actual change that
occurred. The CMPxIF bit (PIR1<3:1>) is the
Comparator Interrupt Flag. The CMPxIF bit must be
reset by clearing it. Since it is also possible to write a ‘1’
to this register, a simulated interrupt may be initiated.
Both the CMPxIE bit (PIE1<3:1>) and the PEIE bit
(INTCON<6>) must be set to enable the interrupt for
the corresponding comparator. In addition, the GIE bit
(INTCON<7>) must also be set. If any of these bits are
clear, the interrupt is not enabled, though the CMPxIF
bit will still be set if an interrupt condition occurs.
Note:
Output
If a change in the CMCON register
(C2OUT, C1OUT or C0OUT) should occur
when a read operation is being executed
(start of the Q2 cycle), then the CMPxIF
(PIR1 register) interrupt flag may not get
set.

Clear flag bit CMPxIF.
Input returning to original state.
A mismatch condition will continue to set flag bit
CMPxIF. Reading CMCON will end the mismatch
condition and allow flag bit CMPxIF to be cleared.
Response time is the minimum time, after selecting a
new reference voltage or input source, before the
comparator output has a valid level. If the internal
reference is changed, the maximum delay of the
internal voltage reference must be considered when
using the comparator outputs. Otherwise, the
maximum delay of the comparators should be used
(see Section 23.0 “Electrical Characteristics”).

Comparator Operation
During Sleep
17.9
When a comparator is active and the device is placed
in Sleep mode, the comparator remains active and the
interrupt is functional if enabled. This interrupt will
wake-up the device from Sleep mode when enabled.
Each operational comparator will consume additional
current, as shown in the comparator specifications. To
minimize power consumption while in Sleep mode, turn
off the comparators (CMEN2:CMEN0 = 000) before
entering Sleep. If the device wakes up from Sleep, the
contents of the CMCON register are not affected.
17.8
Analog Input Connection
Considerations
A simplified circuit for an analog input is shown in
Figure 17-2. Since the analog pins are connected to a
digital output, they have reverse biased diodes to VDD
and VSS. The analog input, therefore, must be between
VSS and VDD. If the input voltage deviates from this
range by more than 0.6V in either direction, one of the
diodes is forward biased and a latch-up condition may
occur. A maximum source impedance of 10 k is
recommended for the analog sources. Any external
component connected to an analog input pin, such as
a capacitor or Zener diode, should have very little
leakage current.
Effects of a Reset
A device Reset forces the CMCON register to its Reset
state, causing the comparator modules to be turned off
(CMEN2:CMEN0 = 000).

COMPARATOR VOLTAGE
REFERENCE MODULE
The comparator voltage reference is a 16-tap resistor
ladder network that provides a selectable reference
voltage. Its purpose is to provide a reference for the
analog comparators.
A block diagram of the module is shown in Figure 18-1.
The resistor ladder is segmented to provide two ranges
of CVREF values and has a power-down function to
conserve power when the reference is not being used.
The module’s supply reference can be provided from
either device VDD/VSS or an external voltage reference.
18.1
Configuring the Comparator
Voltage Reference
The voltage reference module is controlled through the
CVRCON register (Register 18-1). The comparator
voltage reference provides two ranges of output
voltage, each with 16 distinct levels. The range to be
used is selected by the CVRR bit (CVRCON<5>). The
primary difference between the ranges is the size of the
steps selected by the CVREF selection bits
(CVR3:CVR0), with one range offering finer resolution.
The equations used to calculate the output of the
comparator voltage reference are as follows:
The comparator reference supply voltage can come
from either AVDD or AVSS, or the external VREF+ that is
multiplexed with RA4 and AVSS. The voltage source is
selected by the CVRSS bit (CVRCON<4>).
Additionally, the voltage reference can select the
unscaled VREF+ input for use by the comparators,
bypassing the CVREF module. (See Table 18-1 and
Figure 18-1.)
The settling time of the comparator voltage reference
must be considered when changing the CVREF
output (see Table 23-3 in Section 23.0 “Electrical
Characteristics”).

Voltage Reference Accuracy/Error
The full range of voltage reference cannot be realized
due to the construction of the module. The transistors
on the top and bottom of the resistor ladder network
(Figure 18-1) keep CVREF from approaching the
reference source rails. The voltage reference is derived
from the reference source; therefore, the CVREF output
changes with fluctuations in that source. The tested
absolute accuracy of the voltage reference can be
found in Section 23.0 “Electrical Characteristics”.

18.3
Operation During Sleep
When the device wakes up from Sleep through an
interrupt or a Watchdog Timer time-out, the contents of
the CVRCON register are not affected. To minimize
current consumption in Sleep mode, the voltage
reference should be disabled.
18.4
Effects of a Reset
A device Reset disables the voltage reference by clearing
bit, CVREN (CVRCON<7>). This Reset selects the highvoltage range by clearing bit, CVRR (CVRCON<5>). The
CVR value select bits are also cleared.

The Low-Voltage Detect Control register (Register 19-1)
completely controls the operation of the LVD module.
This allows the circuitry to be “turned off” by the user
under software control, which minimizes the current
consumption for the device.
LOW-VOLTAGE DETECT (LVD)
PIC18F1230/1330 devices have a Low-Voltage
Detect module (LVD). This is a programmable circuit
that allows the user to specify the device voltage trip
point. If the device experiences an excursion past the
trip 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 the interrupt.

The module is enabled by setting the LVDEN bit. Each
time that the LVD module is enabled, the circuitry
requires some time to stabilize. The IRVST bit is a
read-only bit and is used to indicate when the circuit is
stable. The module can only generate an interrupt after
the circuit is stable and IRVST is set.
19.1
trip point voltage. The “trip point” voltage is the voltage
level at which the device detects a low-voltage event
depending on the configuration of the module. When
the supply voltage is equal to the trip point, the voltage
tapped off of the resistor array is equal to the internal
reference voltage generated by the voltage reference
module. The comparator then generates an interrupt
signal by setting the LVDIF bit.
Operation
The trip point voltage is software programmable to any 1 of
15 values. The trip point is selected by programming the
LVDL3:LVDL0 bits (LVDCON<3:0>).
When the LVD module is enabled, a comparator uses
an internally generated reference voltage as the set
point. The set point is compared with the trip point,
where each node in the resistor divider represents a

19.2
Depending on the application, the LVD module does
not need to be operating constantly. To decrease the
current requirements, the LVD circuitry may only need
to be enabled for short periods where the voltage is
checked. After doing the check, the LVD module may
be disabled.
LVD Setup
The following steps are needed to set up the LVD
module:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Disable the module by clearing the LVDEN bit
(LVDCON<4>).
Write the value to the LVDL3:LVDL0 bits that
selects the desired LVD trip point.
Enable the LVD module by setting the LVDEN
bit.
Clear the LVD interrupt flag (PIR2<2>) which
may have been set from a previous interrupt.
Enable the LVD interrupt, if interrupts are
desired, by setting the LVDIE and GIE bits
(PIE2<2> and INTCON<7>). An interrupt will not
be generated until the IRVST bit is set.
19.3
19.4
The internal reference voltage of the LVD module,
specified in electrical specification parameter D420,
may be used by other internal circuitry, such as the
programmable Brown-out Reset. If the LVD or other
circuits using the voltage reference are disabled to
lower the device’s current consumption, the reference
voltage circuit will require time to become stable before
a low-voltage condition can be reliably detected. This
start-up time, TIRVST, is an interval that is independent
of device clock speed. It is specified in electrical
specification parameter 36.
Current Consumption
When the module is enabled, the LVD comparator and
voltage divider are enabled and will consume static current. The total current consumption, when enabled, is
specified in electrical specification parameter D022B.
FIGURE 19-2:
LVD Start-up Time
The LVD interrupt flag is not enabled until TIRVST has
expired and a stable reference voltage is reached. For
this reason, brief excursions beyond the set point may
not be detected during this interval (refer to Figure 19-2).

Applications
19.6
In many applications, the ability to detect a drop below
a particular threshold is desirable.
For general battery applications, Figure 19-3 shows a
possible voltage curve. Over time, the device voltage
decreases. When the device voltage reaches voltage
VA, the LVD logic generates an interrupt at time TA. The
interrupt could cause the execution of an ISR, which
would allow the application to perform “housekeeping
tasks” and perform a controlled shutdown before the
device voltage exits the valid operating range at TB.
The LVD, thus, would give the application a time window, represented by the difference between TA and TB,
to safely exit.
FIGURE 19-3:
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.
19.7
Effects of a Reset
A device Reset forces all registers to their Reset state.
This forces the LVD module to be turned off.

SPECIAL FEATURES OF
THE CPU
PIC18F1230/1330 devices include several features
intended to maximize 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
All of these features are enabled and configured by
setting the appropriate Configuration register bits.
20.1
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.
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 3.0
“Oscillator Configurations”.
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, PIC18F1230/1330 devices
have a Watchdog Timer, which is either permanently
enabled via the Configuration bits or software
controlled (if configured as disabled).
TABLE 20-1:
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.
Programming the Configuration registers is done in a
manner similar to programming the Flash memory. The
WR bit in the EECON1 register 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 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 7.5 “Writing
to Flash Program Memory”.

Watchdog Timer (WDT)
For PIC18F1230/1330 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.
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. 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: a SLEEP or CLRWDT instruction is executed, the
IRCF bits (OSCCON<6:4>) are changed or a clock
failure has occurred.
FIGURE 20-1:
Note 1: The CLRWDT and SLEEP instructions
clear the WDT and postscaler counts
when executed.
2: Changing the setting of the IRCF bits
(OSCCON<6:4>) clears the WDT and

3: When a CLRWDT instruction is executed,
the postscaler count will be cleared.

In all other power-managed modes, Two-Speed Start-up
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.
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 INTOSC
oscillator as a clock source until the primary clock
source is available. It is enabled by setting the IESO
Configuration bit.
20.3.1
Two-Speed Start-up should be enabled only if the
primary oscillator mode is LP, XT, HS or HSPLL
(crystal-based modes). Other sources do not require
an OST start-up delay; for these, Two-Speed Start-up
should be disabled.
While using the INTOSC oscillator in Two-Speed
Start-up, the device still obeys the normal command
sequences for entering power-managed modes,
including multiple SLEEP instructions (refer to
Section 4.1.4 “Multiple Sleep Commands”). In
practice, this means that user code can change the
SCS1:SCS0 bit settings or issue SLEEP instructions
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.
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 Power-on
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.
User code can also check if the primary clock source is
currently providing the device clocking by checking the
status of the OSTS bit (OSCCON<3>). If the bit is set,
the primary oscillator is providing the clock. Otherwise,
the internal oscillator block is providing the clock during
wake-up from Reset or Sleep mode.
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, IRCF2:IRCF0,
immediately after Reset. For wake-ups from Sleep, the
INTOSC or postscaler clock sources can be selected
by setting the IRCF2:IRCF0 bits prior to entering Sleep
mode.

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
device clock to the internal oscillator block. The FSCM
function is enabled by setting the FCMEN Configuration
bit.
When FSCM is enabled, the INTRC oscillator runs at
all times to monitor clocks to peripherals and provide a
backup clock in the event of a clock failure. Clock
monitoring (shown in Figure 20-3) 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 device 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 device
clock source, but cleared on the rising edge of the
sample clock.

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, IRCF2:IRCF0,
immediately after Reset. For wake-ups from Sleep, the
INTOSC or postscaler clock sources can be selected
by setting the IRCF2:IRCF0 bits prior to entering Sleep
mode.
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.
20.4.1
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.
20.4.2
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 20-4). This causes the following:
• The FSCM generates an oscillator fail interrupt by
setting bit, OSCFIF (PIR2<7>).
• The device 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).
• The WDT is reset.
FSCM AND THE WATCHDOG TIMER
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 the OST or PLL timer). The
INTOSC multiplexer provides the device clock until the
primary clock source becomes ready (similar to a TwoSpeed Start-up). The clock 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.
During switchover, the postscaler frequency from the
internal oscillator block may not be sufficiently stable for
timing sensitive applications. In these cases, it may be
desirable to select another clock configuration and enter
an alternate power-managed mode. This can be done to
attempt a partial recovery or execute a controlled shutdown. See Section 4.1.4 “Multiple Sleep Commands”
and Section 20.3.1 “Special Considerations for
Using Two-Speed Start-up” for more details.

The device clock is normally at a much higher frequency than the sample clock. The relative frequencies in
this example have been chosen for clarity.
FSCM INTERRUPTS IN
POWER-MANAGED MODES
By entering a power-managed mode, the clock multiplexer selects the clock source selected by the OSCCON
register. Fail-Safe Clock Monitoring of the powermanaged 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, subsequent interrupts while
in Idle mode will cause the CPU to begin executing
instructions while being clocked by the INTOSC
source.
20.4.4
CM Test
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
device clock is EC, RC or INTRC modes, monitoring
can begin immediately following these events.
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 device 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 20.3.1 “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 clock to become stable. When the new powermanaged mode is selected, the primary clock is
disabled.
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

PROGRAM MEMORY
CODE PROTECTION
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.
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 20-6 through 20-8 illustrate table
write and table read protection.
Note:
In normal execution mode, the CPx bits have no direct
effect. CPx bits inhibit external reads and writes. A
block of user memory may be protected from table
writes if the WRTx Configuration bit is ‘0’. The EBTRx
bits control table reads. For a block of user memory
with the EBTRx bit set to ‘0’, a table read instruction
that executes from within that block is allowed to read.
FIGURE 20-6:
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 operation or an
external programmer.

20.5.2
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 internal and external writes to data
EEPROM. The CPU can always read data EEPROM
under normal operation, regardless of the protection bit
settings.
20.5.3
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
read-only. WRTC can only be written via ICSP
operation or an external programmer.
20.6
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.
20.7
In-Circuit Serial Programming
PIC18F1230/1330 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.
DS39758D-page 210
20.8
In-Circuit Debugger
When the BKBUG Configuration bit 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 20-4 shows which resources are
required by the background debugger.
TABLE 20-4:
DEBUGGER RESOURCES
I/O pins:
RB6, RB7
Stack:
2 levels
Program Memory:

To use the In-Circuit Debugger function of the microcontroller, the design must implement In-Circuit Serial
Programming connections to MCLR/VPP/RA5/FLTA,
VDD, VSS, RB7/PWM5/PGD and RB6/PWM4/PGC. This
will interface to the In-Circuit Debugger module available
from Microchip or one of the third party development tool
companies.
20.9
Single-Supply ICSP Programming
The PIC18F1230/1330 device family does not support
Low-Voltage ICSP Programming or LVP. This device
family can only be programmed using high-voltage ICSP
programming. For more details, refer to the
“PIC18F1230/1330 Flash Microcontroller Programming
Specification” (DS39752).
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.

MPLAB SIM Software Simulator
The MPLAB SIM Software Simulator allows code
development in a PC-hosted environment by simulating the PIC MCUs and dsPIC® DSCs on an instruction
level. On any given instruction, the data areas can be
examined or modified and stimuli can be applied from
a comprehensive stimulus controller. Registers can be
logged to files for further run-time analysis. The trace
buffer and logic analyzer display extend the power of
the simulator to record and track program execution,
actions on I/O, most peripherals and internal registers.
The MPLAB SIM Software Simulator fully supports
symbolic debugging using the MPLAB C18 and
MPLAB C30 C Compilers, and the MPASM and
MPLAB ASM30 Assemblers. The software simulator
offers the flexibility to develop and debug code outside
of the hardware laboratory environment, making it an
excellent, economical software development tool.
The MPLIB Object Librarian manages the creation and
modification of library files of precompiled 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

INSTRUCTION SET SUMMARY
PIC18F1230/1330 devices incorporate the standard set
of 75 PIC18 core instructions, as well as an extended set
of 8 new instructions for the optimization of code that is
recursive or that utilizes a software stack. The extended
set is discussed later in this section.
22.1
Standard Instruction Set
The standard PIC18 instruction set adds many
enhancements to the previous PIC® MCU instruction
sets, while maintaining an easy migration from these
PIC MCU instruction sets. Most instructions are a
single program memory word (16 bits), but there are
four 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 22-2 lists
byte-oriented, bit-oriented, literal and control
operations. Table 22-1 shows the opcode field
descriptions.
Most byte-oriented instructions have three operands:
1.
2.
3.
The file register (specified by ‘f’)
The destination of the result (specified by ‘d’)
The accessed memory (specified by ‘a’)
The file register designator ‘f’ specifies which file
register is to be used by the instruction. The destination
designator ‘d’ specifies where the result of the
operation is to be placed. If ‘d’ is zero, the result is
placed in the WREG register. If ‘d’ is one, the result is
placed in the file register specified in the instruction.
All bit-oriented instructions have three operands:
1.
2.
3.
The file register (specified by ‘f’)
The bit in the file register (specified by ‘b’)
The accessed memory (specified by ‘a’)
The 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 ‘—’)
The control instructions may use some of the following
operands:
• A program memory address (specified by ‘n’)
• The mode of the CALL or RETURN instructions
(specified by ‘s’)
• The mode of the table read and table write
instructions (specified by ‘m’)
• No operand required
(specified by ‘—’)
All instructions are a single word, except for four
double-word instructions. These instructions were
made double-word to contain the required information
in 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 s. If a conditional test is
true, or the program counter is changed as a result of
an instruction, the instruction execution time is 2 s.
Two-word branch instructions (if true) would take 3 s.
Figure 22-1 shows the general formats that the
instructions can have. All examples use the convention
‘nnh’ to represent a hexadecimal number.
The Instruction Set Summary, shown in Table 22-2,
lists the standard instructions recognized by the
Microchip MPASM™ Assembler.
Section 22.1.1 “Standard Instruction Set” provides
a description of each instruction.
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.

Note 1:
When a PORT register is modified as a function of itself (e.g., MOVF PORTB, 1, 0), the value used will be that value
present on the pins themselves. For example, if the data latch is ‘1’ for a pin configured as input and is driven low by an
external device, the data will be written back with a ‘0’.
If this instruction is executed on the TMR0 register (and where applicable, ‘d’ = 1), the prescaler will be cleared if
assigned.
If the 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 two-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.

22.2
A summary of the instructions in the extended instruction
set is provided in Table 22-3. Detailed descriptions are
provided in Section 22.2.2 “Extended Instruction
Set”. The opcode field descriptions in Table 22-1
(page 216) apply to both the standard and extended
PIC18 instruction sets.
Extended Instruction Set
In addition to the standard 75 instructions of the PIC18
instruction set, PIC18F1230/1330 devices also provide
an optional extension to the core CPU functionality.
The added features include eight additional instructions that augment indirect and indexed addressing
operations and the implementation of Indexed Literal
Offset Addressing mode for many of the standard
PIC18 instructions.
Note:
The additional features of the extended instruction set
are disabled by default. To enable them, users must set
the XINST Configuration bit.
The instructions in the extended set (with the exception
of CALLW, MOVSF and MOVSS) can all be classified as
literal operations, which either manipulate the File
Select Registers, or use them for indexed addressing.
Two of the instructions, ADDFSR and SUBFSR, each
have an additional special instantiation for using FSR2.
These versions (ADDULNK and SUBULNK) allow for
automatic return after execution.
22.2.1
EXTENDED INSTRUCTION SYNTAX
Most of the extended instructions use indexed
arguments, using one of the File Select Registers and
some offset to specify a source or destination register.
When an argument for an instruction serves as part of
indexed addressing, it is enclosed in square brackets
(“[ ]”). This is done to indicate that the argument is used
as an index or offset. The MPASM™ Assembler will
flag an error if it determines that an index or offset value
is not bracketed.
The extended instructions are specifically implemented
to optimize re-entrant program code (that is, code that
is recursive or that uses a software stack) written in
high-level languages, particularly C. Among other
things, they allow users working in high-level
languages to perform certain operations on data
structures more efficiently. These include:
When the extended instruction set is enabled, brackets
are also used to indicate index arguments in byteoriented and bit-oriented instructions. This is in addition
to other changes in their syntax. For more details, see
Section 22.2.3.1 “Extended Instruction Syntax with
Standard PIC18 Commands”.
• Dynamic allocation and deallocation of software
stack space when entering and leaving
subroutines
• Function Pointer invocation
• Software Stack Pointer manipulation
• Manipulation of variables located in a software
stack
TABLE 22-3:
The instruction set extension and the
Indexed Literal Offset Addressing mode
were designed for optimizing applications
written in C; the user may likely never use
these instructions directly in the assembler. The syntax for these commands is
provided as a reference for users who may
be reviewing code that has been
generated by a compiler.
Note:
In the past, square brackets have been
used to denote optional arguments in the
PIC18 and earlier instruction sets. In this
text and going forward, optional
arguments are denoted by braces (“{ }”).

The contents of the source register are
moved to destination register ‘fd’. The
actual address of the source register is
determined by adding the 7-bit literal
offset ‘zs’ in the first word to the value of
FSR2. The address of the destination
register is specified by the 12-bit literal
‘fd’ in the second word. Both addresses
can be anywhere in the 4096-byte data
space (000h to FFFh).
The MOVSF instruction cannot use the
PCL, TOSU, TOSH or TOSL as the
destination register.
If the resultant source address points to
an indirect addressing register, the

executed by loading the PC with the TOS.
The instruction takes two cycles to
execute; a NOP is performed during the

This may be thought of as a special case of
the SUBFSR instruction, where f = 3 (binary
‘11’); it operates only on FSR2.

Note:
BYTE-ORIENTED AND
BIT-ORIENTED INSTRUCTIONS IN
INDEXED LITERAL OFFSET MODE
Enabling the PIC18 instruction set
extension may cause legacy applications
to behave erratically or fail entirely.
In addition to eight new commands in the extended set,
enabling the extended instruction set also enables
Indexed Literal Offset Addressing mode (Section 6.5.1
“Indexed Addressing with Literal Offset”). This has
a significant impact on the way that many commands of
the standard PIC18 instruction set are interpreted.
When the extended set is disabled, addresses embedded in opcodes are treated as literal memory locations:
either as a location in the Access Bank (‘a’ = 0) or in a
GPR bank designated by the BSR (‘a’ = 1). When the
extended instruction set is enabled and ‘a’ = 0,
however, a file register argument of 5Fh or less is
interpreted as an offset from the pointer value in FSR2
and not as a literal address. For practical purposes, this
means that all instructions that use the Access RAM bit
as an argument – that is, all byte-oriented and bitoriented instructions, or almost half of the core PIC18
instructions – may behave differently when the
extended instruction set is enabled.
When the content of FSR2 is 00h, the boundaries of the
Access RAM are essentially remapped to their original
values. This may be useful in creating backward
compatible code. If this technique is used, it may be
necessary to save the value of FSR2 and restore it
when moving back and forth between C and assembly
routines in order to preserve the Stack Pointer. Users
must also keep in mind the syntax requirements of the
extended instruction set (see Section 22.2.3.1
“Extended Instruction Syntax with Standard PIC18
Commands”).
22.2.3.1
Extended Instruction Syntax with
Standard PIC18 Commands
When the extended instruction set is enabled, the file
register argument, ‘f’, in the standard byte-oriented and
bit-oriented commands is replaced with the literal offset
value, ‘k’. As already noted, this occurs only when ‘f’ is
less than or equal to 5Fh. When an offset value is used,
it must be indicated by square brackets (“[ ]”). As with
the extended instructions, the use of brackets indicates
to the compiler that the value is to be interpreted as an
index or an offset. Omitting the brackets, or using a
value greater than 5Fh within brackets, will generate an
error in the MPASM Assembler.
If the index argument is properly bracketed for Indexed
Literal Offset Addressing mode, the Access RAM
argument is never specified; it will automatically be
assumed to be ‘0’. This is in contrast to standard
operation (extended instruction set disabled) when ‘a’
is set on the basis of the target address. Declaring the
Access RAM bit in this mode will also generate an error
in the MPASM Assembler.
The destination argument, ‘d’, functions as before.
In the latest versions of the MPASM Assembler,
language support for the extended instruction set must
be explicitly invoked. This is done with either the
command line option, /y, or the PE directive in the
source listing.
22.2.4
CONSIDERATIONS WHEN
ENABLING THE EXTENDED
INSTRUCTION SET
It is important to note that the extensions to the instruction set may not be beneficial to all users. In particular,
users who are not writing code that uses a software
stack may not benefit from using the extensions to the
instruction set.
Although the Indexed Literal Offset Addressing mode
can be very useful for dynamic stack and pointer
manipulation, it can also be very annoying if a simple
arithmetic operation is carried out on the wrong
register. Users who are accustomed to the PIC18
programming must keep in mind that, when the
extended instruction set is enabled, register addresses
of 5Fh or less are used for Indexed Literal Offset
Addressing mode.
Additionally, the Indexed Literal Offset Addressing
mode may create issues with legacy applications
written to the PIC18 assembler. This is because
instructions in the legacy code may attempt to address
registers in the Access Bank below 5Fh. Since these
addresses are interpreted as literal offsets to FSR2
when the instruction set extension is enabled, the
application may read or write to the wrong data
addresses.
Representative examples of typical byte-oriented and
bit-oriented instructions in the Indexed Literal Offset
Addressing mode are provided on the following page to
show how execution is affected. The operand
conditions shown in the examples are applicable to all
instructions of these types.
When porting an application to the PIC18F1230/1330,
it is very important to consider the type of code. A large,
re-entrant application that is written in ‘C’ and would
benefit from efficient compilation will do well when
using the instruction set extensions. Legacy
applications that heavily use the Access Bank will most
likely not benefit from using the extended instruction
set.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS WITH
MICROCHIP MPLAB® IDE TOOLS
The latest versions of Microchip’s software tools have
been designed to fully support the extended instruction
set of the PIC18F1230/1330 family of devices. This
includes the MPLAB C18 C Compiler, MPASM Assembly language and MPLAB Integrated Development
Environment (IDE).
When selecting a target device for software
development, MPLAB IDE will automatically set default
Configuration bits for that device. The default setting for
the XINST Configuration bit is ‘0’, disabling the
extended instruction set and Indexed Literal Offset
Addressing mode. For proper execution of applications
developed to take advantage of the extended
instruction set, XINST must be set during
programming.
DS39758D-page 264
To develop software for the extended instruction set,
the user must enable support for the instructions and
the Indexed Addressing mode in their language tool(s).
Depending on the environment being used, this may be
done in several ways:
• A menu option, or dialog box within the
environment, that allows the user to configure the
language tool and its settings for the project
• A command line option
• A directive in the source code
These options vary between different compilers,
assemblers and development environments. Users are
encouraged to review the documentation accompanying their development systems for the appropriate
information.

2: Voltage spikes below VSS at the MCLR/VPP/RA5/FLTA pin, inducing currents greater than 80 mA, may
cause latch-up. Thus, a series resistor of 50-100 should be used when applying a “low” level to the MCLR/
VPP/RA5/FLTA pin, rather than pulling this pin directly to VSS.
† NOTICE: Stresses above those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the
device. This is a stress rating only and functional operation of the device at those or any other conditions above those
indicated in the operation listings of this specification is not implied. Exposure to maximum rating conditions for
extended periods may affect device reliability.

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 or VSS;
MCLR = VDD; WDT enabled/disabled as specified.
Low-power Timer1 oscillator selected.
BOR and LVD enable internal band gap reference. With both modules enabled, current consumption will be less
than the sum of both specifications.

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 or VSS;
MCLR = VDD; WDT enabled/disabled as specified.
Low-power Timer1 oscillator selected.
BOR and LVD enable internal band gap reference. With both modules enabled, current consumption will be less
than the sum of both specifications.

In RC oscillator configuration, the OSC1/CLKI pin is a Schmitt Trigger input. It is not recommended that the
PIC® 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.

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.
