GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The PIC16C9XX is a family of low-cost, high-performance, CMOS, fully-static, 8-bit microcontrollers with
an integrated LCD Driver module, in the PIC16CXXX
mid-range family.
All PICmicro™ microcontrollers employ an advanced
RISC architecture. The PIC16CXXX microcontroller
family has enhanced core features, eight-level deep
stack, and multiple internal and external interrupt
sources. The separate instruction and data buses of the
Harvard architecture allow a 14-bit wide instruction
word with the separate 8-bit wide data. The two stage
instruction pipeline allows all instructions to execute in
a single cycle, except for program branches (which
require two cycles). A total of 35 instructions (reduced
instruction set) are available. Additionally, a large register set gives some of the architectural innovations used
to achieve a very high performance.
PIC16CXXX microcontrollers typically achieve a 2:1
code compression and a 4:1 speed improvement over
other 8-bit microcontrollers in their class.
The PIC16C923 devices have 176 bytes of RAM and
25 I/O pins. In addition several peripheral features are
available including: three timer/counters, one Capture/Compare/PWM module, one serial port and one
LCD module. The Synchronous Serial Port can be configured as either a 3-wire Serial Peripheral Interface
(SPI) or the two-wire Inter-Integrated Circuit (I 2C) bus.
The LCD module features programmable multiplex
mode (static, 1/2, 1/3 and 1/4) and drive bias (static and
1/3). It is capable of driving up to 32 segments and up
to 4 commons. It can also drive the LCD panel while in
SLEEP mode.
The PIC16C924 devices have 176 bytes of RAM and
25 I/O pins. In addition several peripheral features are
available including: three timer/counters, one Capture/Compare/PWM module, one serial port and one
LCD module. The Synchronous Serial Port can be configured as either a 3-wire Serial Peripheral Interface
(SPI) or the two-wire Inter-Integrated Circuit (I 2C) bus.
The LCD module features programmable multiplex
mode (static, 1/2, 1/3 and 1/4) and drive bias (static and
1/3). It is capable of driving up to 32 segments and up
to 4 commons. It can also drive the LCD panel while in
SLEEP mode. The PIC16C924 also has an 5-channel
high-speed 8-bit A/D. The 8-bit resolution is ideally
suited for applications requiring low-cost analog interface, e.g. thermostat control, pressure sensing, and
meters.
mode. The user can wake up the chip from SLEEP
through several external and internal interrupts and
reset(s).
A highly reliable Watchdog Timer with its own on-chip
RC oscillator provides recovery in the event of a software lock-up.
A UV erasable CERQUAD (compatible with PLCC)
packaged version is ideal for code development while
the cost-effective One-Time-Programmable (OTP) version is suitable for production in any volume.
The PIC16C9XX family fits perfectly in applications
ranging from handheld meters, thermostats, to home
security products. The EPROM technology makes customization of application programs (LCD panels, calibration constants, sensor interfaces, etc.) extremely
fast and convenient. The small footprint packages make
this microcontroller series perfect for all applications
with space limitations. Low cost, low power, high performance, ease of use and I/O flexibility make the
PIC16C9XX very versatile even in areas where no
microcontroller use has been considered before (e.g.
timer functions, capture and compare, PWM functions
and coprocessor applications).
1.1
Family and Upward Compatibility
Users familiar with the PIC16C5X microcontroller family
will realize that this is an enhanced version of the
PIC16C5X architecture. Please refer to Appendix A for
a detailed list of enhancements. Code written for the
PIC16C5X can be easily ported to the PIC16CXXX
family of devices (Appendix B).
1.2
Development Support
PIC16C9XX devices are supported by the complete
line of Microchip Development tools.
Please refer to Section 16.0 for more details about
Microchip’s development tools.
The PIC16C9XX family has special features to reduce
external components, thus reducing cost, enhancing
system reliability and reducing power consumption.
There are four oscillator options, of which the single pin
RC oscillator provides a low-cost solution, the LP oscillator minimizes power consumption, XT is a standard
crystal, and the HS is for High Speed crystals. The
SLEEP (power-down) feature provides a power saving

PIC16C9XX DEVICE VARIETIES
A variety of frequency ranges and packaging options
are available. Depending on application and production
requirements, the proper device option can be selected
using the information in the PIC16C9XX Product Identification System section at the end of this data sheet.
When placing orders, please use that page of the data
sheet to specify the correct part number.
For the PIC16C9XX family, there are two device “types”
as indicated in the device number:
1.
2.
2.1
C, as in PIC16C924. These devices have
EPROM type memory and operate over the
standard voltage range.
LC, as in PIC16LC924. These devices have
EPROM type memory and operate over an
extended voltage range.
UV Erasable Devices
The UV erasable version, offered in CERQUAD package, is optimal for prototype development and pilot programs.
The UV erasable version can be erased and reprogrammed to any of the configuration modes.
Microchip's PICSTART Plus and PRO MATE II programmers both support the PIC16C9XX. Third party
programmers also are available; refer to the Microchip
Third Party Guide for a list of sources.
2.2
2.3
Quick-Turnaround-Production (QTP)
Devices
Microchip offers a QTP Programming Service for factory production orders. This service is made available
for users who choose not to program a medium to high
quantity of units and whose code patterns have stabilized. The devices are identical to the OTP devices but
with all EPROM locations and configuration options
already programmed by the factory. Certain code and
prototype verification procedures apply before production shipments are available. Please contact your local
Microchip Technology sales office for more details.
2.4
Serialized Quick-Turnaround
Production (SQTPSM) Devices
Microchip offers a unique programming service where
a few user-defined locations in each device are programmed with different serial numbers. The serial numbers may be random, pseudo-random or sequential.
Serial programming allows each device to have a
unique number which can serve as an entry-code,
password or ID number.
One-Time-Programmable (OTP)
Devices
The availability of OTP devices is especially useful for
customers who need the flexibility for frequent code
updates and small volume applications.
The OTP devices, packaged in plastic packages, permit
the user to program them once. In addition to the program memory, the configuration bits must also be programmed.

ARCHITECTURAL OVERVIEW
The high performance of the PIC16CXXX family can be
attributed to a number of architectural features commonly found in RISC microprocessors. To begin with,
the PIC16CXXX uses a Harvard architecture, in which,
program and data are accessed from separate memories using separate buses. This improves bandwidth
over traditional von Neumann architecture where program and data are fetched from the same memory
using the same bus. Separating program and data
buses further allows instructions to be sized differently
than the 8-bit wide data word. Instruction opcodes are
14-bits wide making it possible to have all single word
instructions. A 14-bit wide program memory access bus
fetches a 14-bit instruction in a single cycle. A
two-stage pipeline overlaps fetch and execution of
instructions (Example 3-1). Consequently, all instructions execute in a single cycle (500 ns @ 8 MHz) except
for program branches.
The PIC16C923 and PIC16C924 both address 4K x 14
of program memory and 176 x 8 of data memory.
PIC16CXXX devices contain an 8-bit ALU and working
register. The ALU is a general purpose arithmetic unit.
It performs arithmetic and Boolean functions between
the data in the working register and any register file.
The ALU is 8-bits wide and capable of addition, subtraction, shift and logical operations. Unless otherwise
mentioned, arithmetic operations are two's complement in nature. In two-operand instructions, typically
one operand is the working register (W register). The
other operand is a file register or an immediate constant. In single operand instructions, the operand is
either the W register or a file register.
The W register is an 8-bit working register used for ALU
operations. It is not an addressable register.
Depending on the instruction executed, the ALU may
affect the values of the Carry (C), Digit Carry (DC), and
Zero (Z) bits in the STATUS register. The C and DC bits
operate as a borrow bit and a digit borrow out bit,
respectively, in subtraction. See the SUBLW and SUBWF
instructions for examples.
The PIC16CXXX can directly or indirectly address its
register files or data memory. All special function registers, including the program counter, are mapped in the
data memory. The PIC16CXXX has an orthogonal
(symmetrical) instruction set that makes it possible to
carry out any operation on any register using any
addressing mode. This symmetrical nature and lack of
‘special optimal situations’ make programming with the
PIC16CXXX simple yet efficient, thus significantly
reducing the learning curve.

3.1
Clocking Scheme/Instruction Cycle
3.2
The clock input (from OSC1) is internally divided by
four to generate four non-overlapping quadrature
clocks namely Q1, Q2, Q3 and Q4. Internally, the program counter (PC) is incremented every Q1, the
instruction is fetched from the program memory and
latched into the instruction register in Q4. The instruction is decoded and executed during the following Q1
through Q4. The clocks and instruction execution flow
is shown in Figure 3-3.
Instruction Flow/Pipelining
An “Instruction Cycle” consists of four Q cycles (Q1,
Q2, Q3 and Q4). The instruction fetch and execute are
pipelined such that fetch takes one instruction cycle
while decode and execute takes another instruction
cycle. However, due to the pipelining, each instruction
effectively executes in one cycle. If an instruction
causes the program counter to change (e.g. GOTO)
then two cycles are required to complete the instruction
(Example 3-1).
A fetch cycle begins with the program counter (PC)
incrementing in Q1.
In the execution cycle, the fetched instruction is latched
into the “Instruction Register" in cycle Q1. This instruction is then decoded and executed during the Q2, Q3,
and Q4 cycles. Data memory is read during Q2 (operand read) and written during Q4 (destination write).

MEMORY ORGANIZATION
4.1
Program Memory Organization
The PIC16C9XX family has a 13-bit program counter
capable of addressing an 8K x 14 program memory
space.
Only the first 4K x 14 (0000h-0FFFh) is physically
implemented. Accessing a location above the physically implemented addresses will cause a wraparound.
The reset vector is at 0000h and the interrupt vector is
at 0004h.

The lower locations of each Bank are reserved for the
Special Function Registers. Above the Special Function Registers are General Purpose Registers implemented as static RAM. All four banks contain special
function registers. Some “high use” special function
registers are mirrored in other banks for code reduction
and quicker access.

SPECIAL FUNCTION REGISTERS
The Special Function Registers are registers used by
the CPU and Peripheral Modules for controlling the
desired operation of the device. These registers are
implemented as static RAM.
The special function registers can be classified into two
sets (core and peripheral). Those registers associated
with the “core” functions are described in this section,
and those related to the operation of the peripheral features are described in the section of that peripheral feature.

It is recommended, therefore, that only BCF, BSF,
SWAPF and MOVWF instructions are used to alter the
STATUS register because these instructions do not
affect the Z, C or DC bits from the STATUS register. For
other instructions, not affecting any status bits, see the
“Instruction Set Summary.”
STATUS REGISTER
The STATUS register, shown in Figure 4-3, contains the
arithmetic status of the ALU, the RESET status and the
bank select bits for data memory.
The STATUS register can be the destination for any
instruction, as with any other register. If the STATUS
register is the destination for an instruction that affects
the Z, DC or C bits, then the write to these three bits is
disabled. These bits are set or cleared according to the
device logic. Furthermore, the TO and PD bits are not
writable. Therefore, the result of an instruction with the
STATUS register as destination may be different than
intended.
Note 1: The C and DC bits operate as a borrow
and digit borrow bit, respectively, in subtraction. See the SUBLW and SUBWF
instructions for examples.
For example, CLRF STATUS will clear the upper-three
bits and set the Z bit. This leaves the STATUS register
as 000u u1uu (where u = unchanged).

PCL and PCLATH
The program counter (PC) is 13-bits wide. The low byte
comes from the PCL register, which is a readable and
writable register. The upper bits (PC<12:8>) are not
readable, but are indirectly writable through the
PCLATH register. On any reset, the upper bits of the PC
will be cleared. Figure 4-9 shows the two situations for
the loading of the PC. The upper example in the figure
shows how the PC is loaded on a write to PCL
(PCLATH<4:0> → PCH). The lower example in the figure shows how the PC is loaded during a CALL or GOTO
instruction (PCLATH<4:3> → PCH).

Note 2: There are no instructions/mnemonics
called PUSH or POP. These are actions
that occur from the execution of the
CALL, RETURN, RETLW, and RETFIE
instructions, or the vectoring to an interrupt address.
4.4
Program Memory Paging
PIC16C9XX devices are capable of addressing a continuous 8K word block of program memory. The CALL
and GOTO instructions provide only 11 bits of address
to allow branching within any 2K program memory
page. When doing a CALL or GOTO instruction the
upper 2 bits of the address are provided by
PCLATH<4:3>. When doing a CALL or GOTO instruction, the user must ensure that the page select bits are
programmed so that the desired program memory
page is addressed. If a return from a CALL instruction
(or interrupt) is executed, the entire 13-bit PC is pushed
onto the stack. Therefore, manipulation of the
PCLATH<4:3> bits are not required for the return
instructions (which POPs the address from the stack).
Note:
0
7
Note 1: There are no status bits to indicate stack
overflow or stack underflow conditions.
The PIC16C9XX ignores paging bit
PCLATH<4>, which is used to access program memory pages 2 and 3. The use of
PCLATH<4> as a general purpose
read/write bit is not recommended since
this may affect upward compatibility with
future products.
COMPUTED GOTO
A computed GOTO is accomplished by adding an offset
to the program counter (ADDWF PCL). When doing a
table read using a computed GOTO method, care
should be exercised if the table location crosses a PCL
memory boundary (each 256 byte block). Refer to the
application note “Implementing a Table Read” (AN556).
4.3.2
STACK
The PIC16CXXX family has an 8 level deep x 13-bit
wide hardware stack. The stack space is not part of
either program or data space and the stack pointer is
not readable or writable. The PC is PUSHed onto the
stack when a CALL instruction is executed or an interrupt causes a branch. The stack is POPed in the event
of a RETURN, RETLW or a RETFIE instruction execution. PCLATH is not affected by a PUSH or POP operation.
The stack operates as a circular buffer. This means that
after the stack has been PUSHed eight times, the ninth
push overwrites the value that was stored from the first
push. The tenth push overwrites the second push (and
so on).

Example 4-1 shows the calling of a subroutine in
page 1 of the program memory. This example assumes
that PCLATH is saved and restored by the interrupt service routine (if interrupts are used).
EXAMPLE 4-1:
The INDF register is not a physical register. Addressing
the INDF register will cause indirect addressing.
Indirect addressing is possible by using the INDF register. Any instruction using the INDF register actually
accesses the register pointed to by the File Select Register (FSR). Reading the INDF register itself indirectly
(FSR = '0') will produce 00h. Writing to the INDF register indirectly results in a no-operation (although status
bits may be affected). An effective 9-bit address is
obtained by concatenating the 8-bit FSR register and
the IRP bit (STATUS<7>), as shown in Figure 4-10.

PORTA and TRISA Register
The RA4/T0CKI pin is a Schmitt Trigger input and an
open drain output. All other RA port pins have TTL input
levels and full CMOS output drivers. All RA pins have
data direction bits (TRISA register) which can configure
these pins as output or input.
Setting a bit in the TRISA register puts the corresponding output driver in a hi-impedance mode. Clearing a bit
in the TRISA register puts the contents of the output
latch on the selected pin.

For the PIC16C924 only, other PORTA pins are multiplexed with analog inputs and the analog VREF input.
The operation of each pin is selected by clearing/setting the control bits in the ADCON1 register (A/D Control Register1).
Note:
On a Power-on Reset, these pins are configured as analog inputs and read as '0'.
The TRISA register controls the direction of the RA
pins, even when they are being used as analog inputs.
The user must ensure the bits in the TRISA register are

Reading the PORTA register reads the status of the

Therefore, a write to a port implies that the port pins are

data latch.

PORTB and TRISB Register
PORTB is an 8-bit wide bi-directional port. The corresponding data direction register is TRISB. Setting a bit
in the TRISB register puts the corresponding output
driver in a hi-impedance input mode. Clearing a bit in
the TRISB register puts the contents of the output latch
on the selected pin(s).

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 (OPTION<7>). The
weak pull-up is automatically turned off when the port
pin is configured as an output. The pull-ups are also disabled on a Power-on Reset.

This interrupt on mismatch feature, together with software configurable pull-ups on these four pins allow
easy interface to a keypad and make it possible for
wake-up on key-depression. Refer to the Embedded

The interrupt on change feature is recommended for
wake-up on key depression operation and operations
where PORTB is only used for the interrupt on change

When enabling peripheral functions, care should be
taken in defining TRIS bits for each PORTC pin. Some
peripherals override the TRIS bit to make a pin an output, while other peripherals override the TRIS bit to
make a pin an input. Since the TRIS bit override is in
effect while the peripheral is enabled, read-modify-write instructions (BSF, BCF, XORWF) with TRISC
as destination should be avoided. The user should refer
to the corresponding peripheral section for the correct
TRIS bit settings.

I/O Programming Considerations
5.8.1
BI-DIRECTIONAL I/O PORTS
EXAMPLE 5-8:
Any instruction which writes, operates internally as a
read followed by a write operation. The BCF and BSF
instructions, for example, read the register into the
CPU, execute the bit operation and write the result back
to the register. Caution must be used when these
instructions are applied to a port with both inputs and
outputs defined. For example, a BSF operation on bit5
of PORTB will cause all eight bits of PORTB to be read
into the CPU. Then the BSF operation takes place on
bit5 and PORTB is written to the output latches. If
another bit of PORTB is used as a bi-directional I/O pin
(e.g., bit0) and it is defined as an input at this time, the
input signal present on the pin itself would be read into
the CPU and rewritten to the data latch of this particular
pin, overwriting the previous content. As long as the pin
stays in the input mode, no problem occurs. However, if
bit0 is switched into output mode later on, the contents
of the data latch may now be unknown.
Reading the port register, reads the values of the port
pins. Writing to the port register writes the value to the
port latch. When using read-modify-write instructions
(ex. BCF, BSF) on a port, the value of the port pins is
read, the desired operation is done to this value, and
this value is then written to the port latch.
Example 5-8 shows the effect of two sequential
read-modify-write instructions on an I/O port.

A pin actively outputting a Low or High should not be
driven from external devices at the same time in order
to change the level on this pin (“wired-or”, “wired-and”).
The resulting high output currents may damage the
chip.
5.8.2
SUCCESSIVE OPERATIONS ON I/O PORTS
The actual write to an I/O port happens at the end of an
instruction cycle, whereas for reading, the data must be
valid at the beginning of the instruction cycle
(Figure 5-11). Therefore, care must be exercised if a
write followed by a read operation is carried out on the
same I/O port. The sequence of instructions should be
such to allow the pin voltage to stabilize (load dependent) before the next instruction which causes that file
to be read into the CPU is executed. Otherwise, the
previous state of that pin may be read into the CPU
rather than the new state. When in doubt, it is better to
separate these instructions with a NOP or another
instruction not accessing this I/O port.

OVERVIEW OF TIMER
MODULES
Each module can generate an interrupt to indicate that
an event has occurred (e.g. timer overflow). Each of
these modules is explained in full detail in the following
sections. The timer modules are:
• Timer0 Module (Section 7.0)
• Timer1 Module (Section 8.0)
• Timer2 Module (Section 9.0)
6.1
Timer0 Overview
chronous Serial Port (SSP). The prescaler option
allows Timer2 to increment at the following rates: 1:1,
1:4, 1:16.
The postscaler allows the TMR2 register to match the
period register (PR2) a programmable number of times
before generating an interrupt. The postscaler can be
programmed from 1:1 to 1:16 (inclusive).
6.4
CCP Overview
The CCP module can operate in one of these three
modes: 16-bit capture, 16-bit compare, or up to 10-bit
Pulse Width Modulation (PWM).
The Timer0 module is a simple 8-bit timer/counter. The
clock source can be either the internal system clock
(Fosc/4) or an external clock. When the clock source is
an external clock, the Timer0 module can be selected
to increment on either the rising or falling edge.
Capture mode captures the 16-bit value of TMR1 into
the CCPR1H:CCPR1L register pair. The capture event
can be programmed for either the falling edge, rising
edge, fourth rising edge, or the sixteenth rising edge of
the CCP1 pin.
The Timer0 module also has a programmable prescaler
option. This prescaler can be assigned to either the
Timer0 module or the Watchdog Timer. Bit PSA
(OPTION<3>) assigns the prescaler, and bits PS2:PS0
(OPTION<2:0>) determine the prescaler value. Timer0
can increment at the following rates: 1:1 when prescaler assigned to Watchdog timer, 1:2, 1:4, 1:8, 1:16,
1:32, 1:64, 1:128, and 1:256.
Compare mode compares the TMR1H:TMR1L register
pair to the CCPR1H:CCPR1L register pair. When a
match occurs an interrupt can be generated, and the
output pin CCP1 can be forced to given state (High or
Low), TMR1 can be reset and start A/D conversion.
This depends on the control bits CCP1M3:CCP1M0.
Synchronization of the external clock occurs after the
prescaler. When the prescaler is used, the external
clock frequency may be higher then the device’s frequency. The maximum frequency is 50 MHz, given the
high and low time requirements of the clock.
6.2
PWM mode compares the TMR2 register to a 10-bit
duty cycle register (CCPR1H:CCPR1L<5:4>) as well
as to an 8-bit period register (PR2). When the TMR2
register = Duty Cycle register, the CCP1 pin will be
forced low. When TMR2 = PR2, TMR2 is cleared to 00h,
an interrupt can be generated, and the CCP1 pin (if an
output) will be forced high.
Timer1 Overview
Timer1 is a 16-bit timer/counter. The clock source can
be either the internal system clock (Fosc/4), an external
clock, or an external crystal. Timer1 can operate as
either a timer or a counter. When operating as a counter
(external clock source), the counter can either operate
synchronized to the device or asynchronously to the
device. Asynchronous operation allows Timer1 to operate during sleep, which is useful for applications that
require a real-time clock as well as the power savings
of SLEEP mode.
Timer1 also has a prescaler option which allows Timer1
to increment at the following rates: 1:1, 1:2, 1:4, and
1:8. Timer1 can be used in conjunction with the Capture/Compare/PWM module. When used with a CCP
module, Timer1 is the time-base for 16-bit capture or
the 16-bit compare and must be synchronized to the
device. Timer1 oscillator is also one of the clock
sources for the LCD module.
6.3
Timer2 Overview
Timer2 is an 8-bit timer with a programmable prescaler
and postscaler, as well as an 8-bit period register
(PR2). Timer2 can be used with the CCP1 module (in
PWM mode) as well as the clock source for the Syn-

TIMER0 MODULE
bit T0SE selects the rising edge. Restrictions on the
external clock input are discussed in detail in
Section 7.2.
The Timer0 module has the following features:
•
•
•
•
•
•
8-bit timer/counter
Readable and writable
8-bit software programmable prescaler
Internal or external clock select
Interrupt on overflow from FFh to 00h
Edge select for external clock
The prescaler is mutually exclusively shared between
the Timer0 module and the Watchdog Timer. The prescaler assignment is controlled in software by control bit
PSA (OPTION<3>). Clearing bit PSA will assign the
prescaler to the Timer0 module. The prescaler is not
readable or writable. When the prescaler is assigned to
the Timer0 module, prescale values of 1:2, 1:4, ...,
1:256 are selectable. Section 7.3 details the operation
of the prescaler.
Figure 7-1 is a simplified block diagram of the Timer0
module.
Timer mode is selected by clearing bit T0CS
(OPTION<5>). 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 (Figure 7-2 and
Figure 7-3). The user can work around this by writing
an adjusted value to the TMR0 register.
7.1
The TMR0 interrupt is generated when the TMR0 register overflows from FFh to 00h. This overflow sets bit
T0IF (INTCON<2>). The interrupt can be masked by
clearing bit T0IE (INTCON<5>). Bit T0IF 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
since the timer is shut off during SLEEP. Figure 7-4 displays the Timer0 interrupt timing.
Counter mode is selected by setting bit T0CS
(OPTION<5>). In counter mode Timer0 will increment
either on every rising or falling edge of pin RA4/T0CKI.
The incrementing edge is determined by the Timer0
Source Edge Select bit T0SE (OPTION<4>). Clearing

Using Timer0 with an External Clock
caler so that the prescaler output is symmetrical. For
the external clock to meet the sampling requirement,
the ripple-counter must be taken into account. Therefore, it is necessary for T0CKI to have a period of at
least 4Tosc (and a small RC delay of 40 ns) divided by
the prescaler value. The only requirement on T0CKI
high and low time is that they do not violate the minimum pulse width requirement of 10 ns. Refer to parameters 40, 41 and 42 in the electrical specification of the
desired device.
When an external clock input is used for Timer0, it must
meet certain requirements. The 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.
7.2.1
EXTERNAL CLOCK SYNCHRONIZATION
When no prescaler is used, the external clock input is
the same as the prescaler output. The synchronization
of T0CKI with the internal phase clocks is accomplished by sampling the prescaler output on the Q2 and
Q4 cycles of the internal phase clocks (Figure 7-5).
Therefore, it is necessary for T0CKI to be high for at
least 2Tosc (and a small RC delay of 20 ns) and low for
at least 2Tosc (and a small RC delay of 20 ns). Refer to
the electrical specification of the desired device.
7.2.2
TMR0 INCREMENT DELAY
Since the prescaler output is synchronized with the
internal clocks, there is a small delay from the time the
external clock edge occurs to the time the Timer0 module is actually incremented. Figure 7-5 shows the delay
from the external clock edge to the timer incrementing.
When a prescaler is used, the external clock input is
divided by the asynchronous ripple-counter type pres-

Prescaler
When assigned to the Timer0 module, all instructions
writing to the TMR0 register (e.g. CLRF 1, MOVWF 1,
BSF 1,x....etc.) will clear the prescaler count. When
assigned to WDT, a CLRWDT instruction will clear the
prescaler count along with the Watchdog Timer. The
prescaler is not readable or writable.
An 8-bit counter is available as a prescaler for the
Timer0 module, or as a postscaler for the Watchdog
Timer (Figure 7-6). For simplicity, this counter is being
referred to as “prescaler” throughout this data sheet.
Note that the prescaler may be used by either the
Timer0 module or the WDT but not both. Thus, a prescaler assignment for the Timer0 module means that
there is no prescaler for the Watchdog Timer, and
vice-versa.
Note:
Writing to TMR0 when the prescaler is
assigned to Timer0 will clear the prescaler
count, but will not change the prescaler
assignment.
The PSA and PS2:PS0 bits (OPTION<3:0>) determine
the prescaler assignment and prescale ratio.

TIMER1 MODULE
Timer1 is a 16-bit timer/counter consisting of two 8-bit
registers (TMR1H and TMR1L) which are readable and
writable. The TMR1 Register pair (TMR1H:TMR1L)
increments from 0000h to FFFFh and rolls over to
0000h. The TMR1 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 TMR1 interrupt enable bit TMR1IE
(PIE1<0>).
Timer1 can be turned on and off using the control bit
TMR1ON (T1CON<0>).
Timer1 also has an internal “reset input”. This reset can
be generated by the CCP module (Section 10.0).
Figure 8-1 shows the Timer1 control register.
When the Timer1 oscillator is enabled (T1OSCEN is
set), the RC1/T1OSI and RC0/T1OSO/T1CKI pins
become inputs.
Timer1 can operate in one of two modes:
• As a timer
• As a counter
The operating mode is determined by the clock select
bit, TMR1CS (T1CON<1>).
In timer mode, Timer1 increments every instruction
cycle. In counter mode, it increments on every rising
edge of the external clock input.

8.1
Timer1 Operation in Timer Mode
8.2.1
Timer mode is selected by clearing the TMR1CS
(T1CON<1>) bit. In this mode, the input clock to the
timer is Fosc/4. The synchronize control bit T1SYNC
(T1CON<2>) has no effect since the internal clock is
always in sync.
8.2
When an external clock input is used for Timer1 in synchronized counter mode, it must meet certain requirements. The external clock requirement is due to
internal phase clock (Tosc) synchronization. Also, there
is a delay in the actual incrementing of TMR1 after synchronization.
Timer1 Operation in Synchronized
Counter Mode
When the prescaler is 1:1, the external clock input is
the same as the prescaler output. The synchronization
of T1CKI with the internal phase clocks is accomplished by sampling the prescaler output on the Q2 and
Q4 cycles of the internal phase clocks. Therefore, it is
necessary for T1CKI to be high for at least 2Tosc (and
a small RC delay of 20 ns) and low for at least 2Tosc
(and a small RC delay of 20 ns). Refer to the appropriate electrical specifications, parameters 45, 46, and 47.
Counter mode is selected by setting bit TMR1CS. In
this mode the timer increments on every rising edge of
clock input on pin RC1/T1OSI when bit T1OSCEN is
set or pin RC0/T1OSO/T1CKI when bit T1OSCEN is
cleared.
If T1SYNC is cleared, then the external clock input is
synchronized with internal phase clocks. The synchronization is done after the prescaler stage. The prescaler is an asynchronous ripple-counter.
When a prescaler other than 1:1 is used, the external
clock input is divided by the asynchronous ripple-counter type prescaler so that the prescaler output
is symmetrical. In order for the external clock to meet
the sampling requirement, the ripple-counter must be
taken into account. Therefore, it is necessary for T1CKI
to have a period of at least 4Tosc (and a small RC delay
of 40 ns) divided by the prescaler value. The only
requirement on T1CKI high and low time is that they do
not violate the minimum pulse width requirements of
10 ns). Refer to the appropriate electrical specifications, parameters 40, 42, 45, 46, and 47.
In this configuration, during SLEEP mode, Timer1 will
not increment even if the external clock is present,
since the synchronization circuit is shut off. The prescaler however will continue to increment.

8.3
Timer1 Operation in Asynchronous
Counter Mode
If control bit T1SYNC (T1CON<2>) is set, the external
clock input is not synchronized. The timer continues to
increment asynchronous to the internal phase clocks.
The timer will continue to run during SLEEP and can
generate an interrupt on overflow which will wake-up
the processor. However, special precautions in software are needed to read-from or write-to the Timer1
register pair (TMR1H:TMR1L) (Section 8.3.2).
In asynchronous counter mode, Timer1 cannot be used
as a time-base for capture or compare operations.
8.3.1
EXTERNAL CLOCK INPUT TIMING WITH
UNSYNCHRONIZED CLOCK
If control bit T1SYNC is set, the timer will increment
completely asynchronously. The input clock must meet
certain minimum high time and low time requirements,
as specified in timing parameters 45, 46, and 47.
8.3.2
READING AND WRITING TMR1 IN
ASYNCHRONOUS COUNTER MODE
Reading TMR1H or TMR1L while the timer is running,
from an external asynchronous clock, will ensure a
valid read (taken care of in hardware). However, the
user should keep in mind that reading the 16-bit timer
in two 8-bit values itself poses certain problems since
the timer may overflow between the reads.
For writes, it is recommended that the user simply stop
the timer and write the desired values. A write contention may occur by writing to the timer registers while the
register is incrementing. This may produce an unpredictable value in the timer register.
Reading the 16-bit value requires some care.
Example 8-1 is an example routine to read the 16-bit
timer value. This is useful if the timer cannot be
stopped.

Timer1 Oscillator
A crystal oscillator circuit is built in between pins T1OSI
(input) and T1OSO (amplifier output). It is enabled by
setting control bit T1OSCEN (T1CON<3>). The oscillator is a low power oscillator rated up to 200 kHz. It will
continue to run during SLEEP. It is primarily intended
for a 32 kHz crystal. Table 8-1 shows the capacitor
selection for the Timer1 oscillator.
The Timer1 oscillator is identical to the LP oscillator.
The user must provide a software time delay to ensure
proper oscillator start-up.

Resetting Timer1 using the CCP
Trigger Output
8.6
If the CCP1 module is configured in compare mode to
generate a “special event trigger" (CCP1M3:CCP1M0
= 1011), this signal will reset Timer1.
Note:
Resetting of Timer1 Register Pair
(TMR1H:TMR1L)
TMR1H and TMR1L registers are not reset on a POR
or any other reset except by the CCP1 special event
trigger.
T1CON register is reset to 00h on a Power-on Reset. In
any other reset, the register is unaffected.
The special event trigger from the CCP1
module will not set interrupt flag bit
TMR1IF (PIR1<0>).
8.7
Timer1 must be configured for either timer or synchronized counter mode to take advantage of this feature. If
Timer1 is running in asynchronous counter mode, this
reset operation may not work.
Timer1 Prescaler
The prescaler counter is cleared on writes to the
TMR1H or TMR1L registers.
In the event that a write to Timer1 coincides with a special event trigger from CCP1, the write will take precedence.
In this mode of operation, the CCPR1H:CCPR1L registers pair effectively becomes the period register for
Timer1.

TIMER2 MODULE
9.1
Timer2 is an 8-bit timer with a prescaler and a
postscaler. It can be used as the PWM time-base for
the PWM mode of the CCP module. The TMR2 register
is readable and writable, and is cleared on any device
reset.
The input clock (FOSC/4) has a prescale option of 1:1,
1:4
or
1:16
(selected
by
control
bits
T2CKPS1:T2CKPS0 (T2CON<1:0>)).
The Timer2 module has an 8-bit period register, PR2.
TMR2 increments from 00h until it matches PR2 and
then resets to 00h on the next increment cycle. PR2 is
a readable and writable register. The PR2 register is set
during RESET.
The match output of TMR2 goes through a 4-bit
postscaler (which gives a 1:1 to 1:16 scaling inclusive)
to generate a TMR2 interrupt (latched in flag bit
TMR2IF, (PIR1<1>)).
Timer2 Prescaler and Postscaler
The prescaler and postscaler counters are cleared
when any of the following occurs:
• a write to the TMR2 register
• a write to the T2CON register
• any device reset (Power-on Reset, MCLR Reset,
or Watchdog Timer Reset)
TMR2 will not clear when T2CON is written.
9.2
Output of TMR2
The output of TMR2 (before the postscaler) is fed to the
Synchronous Serial Port module which optionally uses
it to generate shift clock.
FIGURE 9-1:
Timer2 can be shut off by clearing control bit TMR2ON
(T2CON<2>) to minimize power consumption.

CAPTURE/COMPARE/PWM
(CCP) MODULE
For use of the CCP module, refer to the Embedded
Control Handbook, "Using the CCP Modules" (AN594).
The CCP (Capture/Compare/PWM) module contains a
16-bit register which can operate as a 16-bit capture
register, as a 16-bit compare register, or as a PWM
master/slave duty cycle register. Table 10-1 shows the
timer resources used by the CCP module.
TABLE 10-1: CCP MODE - TIMER RESOURCE
Capture/Compare/PWM Register1 (CCPR1) is comprised of two 8-bit registers: CCPR1L (low byte) and
CCPR1H (high byte). The CCP1CON register controls
the operation of CCP1. All three are readable and writable.

10.1
Capture Mode
In Capture mode, CCPR1H:CCPR1L captures the
16-bit value of the TMR1 register when an event occurs
on pin RC2/CCP1 (Figure 10-2). An event is defined as:
•
•
•
•
Every falling edge
Every rising edge
Every 4th rising edge
Every 16th rising edge
An event is selected by control bits CCP1M3:CCP1M0
(CCP1CON<3:0>). When a capture is made, the interrupt request flag bit CCP1IF (PIR1<2>) is set. It must
be cleared in software. If another capture occurs before
the value in register CCPR1 is read, the old captured
value will be lost.
10.1.1
CCP PIN CONFIGURATION
If the RC2/CCP1 pin is configured as an
output, a write to the port can cause a capture condition.

Compare Mode
In Compare mode, the 16-bit CCPR1 register value is
constantly compared against the TMR1 register pair
value. When a match occurs, the RC2/CCP1 pin is:
• Driven High
• Driven Low
• Remains Unchanged
The action on the pin is based on the value of control
bits CCP1M3:CCP1M0 (CCP1CON<3:0>). At the
same time, a compare interrupt is also generated.

10.2
In capture mode, the RC2/CCP1 pin should be configured as an input by setting the TRISC<2> bit.
Note:
Switching from one capture prescaler to another may
generate an interrupt. Also, the prescaler counter will
not be cleared, therefore the first capture may be from
a non-zero prescaler. Example 10-1 shows the recommended method for switching between capture prescalers. This example also clears the prescaler counter and
will not generate the “false” interrupt.

The user must configure the RC2/CCP1 pin as an output by clearing the TRISC<2> bit.

SPECIAL EVENT TRIGGER
RC1/CCP1
TMR2
In this mode, an internal hardware trigger is generated
which may be used to initiate an action.
The special event trigger output of CCP1 resets the
TMR1 register pair and starts an A/D conversion. This
allows the CCPR1H:CCPR1L register pair to effectively
be a 16-bit programmable period register for Timer1.
Note:
10.3
The "special event trigger" from the CCP1
module will not set interrupt flag bit
TMR1IF (PIR1<0>).
PWM Mode
In Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) mode, the CCP1 pin
produces up to a 10-bit resolution PWM output. Since
the CCP1 pin is multiplexed with the PORTC data latch,
the TRISC<2> bit must be cleared to make the CCP1
pin an output.

PR2
Note 1: 8-bit timer is concatenated with 2-bit internal Q clock
or 2 bits of the prescaler to create 10-bit time-base.
A PWM output (Figure 10-5) has a time-base (period)
and a time that the output stays high (duty cycle). The
frequency of the PWM is the inverse of the period
(1/period).
FIGURE 10-5: PWM OUTPUT

Clearing the CCP1CON register will force
the CCP1 PWM output latch to the default
low level. This is not the PORTC I/O data
latch.
Figure 10-4 shows a simplified block diagram of the
CCP module in PWM mode.
Duty Cycle
For a step by step procedure on how to set up the CCP
module for PWM operation, see Section 10.3.3.
TMR2 = PR2
TMR2 = PR2
TMR2 = Duty Cycle
10.3.1
PWM PERIOD
The PWM period is specified by writing to the PR2 register. The PWM period can be calculated using the following formula:
PWM period = [ (PR2) + 1 ] • 4 • TOSC •
(TMR2 prescale value)
PWM frequency is defined as 1 / [PWM period].
When TMR2 is equal to PR2, the following three events
occur on the next increment cycle:
• TMR2 is cleared
• The CCP1 pin is set (exception: if PWM duty
cycle = 0%, the CCP1 pin will not be set)
• The PWM duty cycle is latched from CCPR1L into
CCPR1H

EXAMPLE 10-2: PWM PERIOD AND DUTY
CYCLE CALCULATION
The Timer2 postscaler (Section 9.0) is not
used in the determination of the PWM frequency. The postscaler could be used to
have a servo update rate at a different frequency than the PWM output.
Desired PWM frequency is 31.25 kHz,
Fosc = 8 MHz
TMR2 prescale = 1
PWM DUTY CYCLE
The PWM duty cycle is specified by writing to the
CCPR1L register and to the CCP1CON<5:4> bits. Up
to 10-bit resolution is available: the CCPR1L contains
the eight MSbs and CCP1CON<5:4> contains the two
LSbs. This 10-bit value is represented by
CCPR1L:CCP1CON<5:4>. The following equation is
used to calculate the PWM duty cycle in time:
CCPR1L and CCP1CON<5:4> can be written to at any
time, but the duty cycle value is not latched into
CCPR1H until after a match between PR2 and TMR2
occurs (i.e., the period is complete). In PWM mode,
CCPR1H is a read-only register.

Maximum PWM resolution (bits) for a given PWM frequency:

In order to achieve higher resolution, the PWM frequency must be decreased. In order to achieve higher
PWM frequency, the resolution must be decreased.
When the CCPR1H and 2-bit latch match TMR2 concatenated with an internal 2-bit Q clock or 2 bits of the
TMR2 prescaler, the CCP1 pin is cleared.

At most, an 8-bit resolution duty cycle can be obtained
from a 31.25 kHz frequency and a 8 MHz oscillator, i.e.,
0 ≤ CCPR1L:CCP1CON<5:4> ≤ 255. Any value greater
than 255 will result in a 100% duty cycle.
The CCPR1H register and a 2-bit internal latch are
used to double buffer the PWM duty cycle. This double
buffering is essential for glitchless PWM operation.
(

Find the maximum resolution of the duty cycle that can

If the PWM duty cycle value is longer than

Set the PWM duty cycle by writing to the

11.1
SPI Mode
The SPI mode allows 8-bits of data to be synchronously transmitted and received simultaneously. To
accomplish communication, typically three pins are
used:
• Serial Data Out (SDO) RC5/SDO
• Serial Data In (SDI) RC4/SDI
• Serial Clock (SCK) RC3/SCK
Additionally a fourth pin may be used when in a slave
mode of operation:
• Slave Select (SS) RA5/AN4/SS (the AN4 function
is implemented on the PIC16C924 only)
When initializing the SPI, several options need to be
specified. This is done by programming the appropriate
control bits in the SSPCON register (SSPCON<5:0>)
and SSPSTAT<7:6>. These control bits allow the following to be specified:
•
•
•
•
Master Mode (SCK is the clock output)
Slave Mode (SCK is the clock input)
Clock Polarity (Idle state of SCK)
Clock edge (output data on rising/falling edge of
SCK)
• Clock Rate (Master mode only)
• Slave Select Mode (Slave mode only)
The SSP consists of a transmit/receive Shift Register
(SSPSR) and a buffer register (SSPBUF). The SSPSR
shifts the data in and out of the device, MSb first. The
SSPBUF holds the data that was written to the SSPSR,
until the received data is ready. Once the 8-bits of data
have been received, that byte is moved to the SSPBUF
register. Then the buffer full detect bit BF
(SSPSTAT<0>) and interrupt flag bit SSPIF (PIR1<3>)
are set. This double buffering of the received data
(SSPBUF) allows the next byte to start reception before
reading the data that was just received. Any write to the
SSPBUF register during transmission/reception of data
will be ignored, and the write collision detect bit WCOL
(SSPCON<7>) will be set. User software must clear the
WCOL bit so that it can be determined if the following
write(s) to the SSPBUF register completed successfully. When the application software is expecting to
receive valid data, the SSPBUF should be read before
the next byte of data to transfer is written to the
SSPBUF. Buffer full bit BF (SSPSTAT<0>) indicates
when SSPBUF has been loaded with the received data
(transmission is complete). When the SSPBUF is read,
bit BF is cleared. This data may be irrelevant if the SPI
is only a transmitter. Generally the SSP Interrupt is
used to determine when the transmission/reception
has completed. The SSPBUF must be read and/or written. If the interrupt method is not going to be used, then
software polling can be done to ensure that a write collision does not occur. Example 11-1 shows the loading
of the SSPBUF (SSPSR) for data transmission. The
shaded instruction is only required if the received data
is meaningful.

The block diagram of the SSP module, when in SPI
mode (Figure 11-3), shows that the SSPSR is not
directly readable or writable, and can only be accessed
from addressing the SSPBUF register. Additionally, the
SSP status register (SSPSTAT) indicates the various
status conditions.

To enable the serial port, SSP Enable bit, SSPEN
(SSPCON<5>) must be set. To reset or reconfigure SPI
mode, clear bit SSPEN, re-initialize the SSPCON register, and then set bit SSPEN. This configures the SDI,
SDO, SCK, and SS pins as serial port pins. For the pins
to behave as the serial port function, they must have
their data direction bits (in the TRISC register) appropriately programmed. That is:
• SDI must have TRISC<4> set
• SDO must have TRISC<5> cleared
• SCK (Master mode) must have TRISC<3>
cleared
• SCK (Slave mode) must have TRISC<3> set
• SS must have TRISA<5> set
Any serial port function that is not desired may be overridden by programming the corresponding data direction (TRIS) register to the opposite value. An example
would be in master mode where you are only sending
data (to a display driver), then both SDI and SS could
be used as general purpose outputs by clearing their
corresponding TRIS register bits.
The master can initiate the data transfer at any time
because it controls the SCK. The master determines
when the slave (Processor 2) is to broadcast data by
the firmware protocol.
In master mode the data is transmitted/received as
soon as the SSPBUF register is written to. If the SPI is
only going to receive, the SCK output could be disabled
(programmed as an input). The SSPSR register will
continue to shift in the signal present on the SDI pin at
the programmed clock rate. As each byte is received, it
will be loaded into the SSPBUF register as if a normal
received byte (interrupts and status bits appropriately
set). This could be useful in receiver applications as a
“line activity monitor” mode.
In slave mode, the data is transmitted and received as
the external clock pulses appear on SCK. When the last
bit is latched the interrupt flag bit SSPIF (PIR1<3>) is
set.
The clock polarity is selected by appropriately programming bit CKP (SSPCON<4>). This then would give
waveforms for SPI communication as shown in
Figure 11-5, Figure 11-6, and Figure 11-7 where the
MSB is transmitted first. In master mode, the SPI clock
rate (bit rate) is user programmable to be one of the following:
Figure 11-4 shows a typical connection between two
microcontrollers. The master controller (Processor 1)
initiates the data transfer by sending the SCK signal.
Data is shifted out of both shift registers on their programmed clock edge, and latched on the opposite edge
of the clock. Both processors should be programmed to
same Clock Polarity (CKP), then both controllers would
send and receive data at the same time. Whether the
data is meaningful (or dummy data) depends on the
application software. This leads to three scenarios for
data transmission:
•
•
•
•
• Master sends data — Slave sends dummy data
• Master sends data — Slave sends data
• Master sends dummy data — Slave sends data
In sleep mode, the slave can transmit and receive data
and wake the device from sleep.
FOSC/4 (or TCY)
FOSC/16 (or 4 • TCY)
FOSC/64 (or 16 • TCY)

This allows a maximum bit clock frequency (at 8 MHz)
of 2 MHz. When in slave mode the external clock must
meet the minimum high and low times.

The SS pin allows a synchronous slave mode. The
SPI must be in slave mode (SSPCON<3:0> = 04h)
and the TRISA<5> bit must be set for the synchronous slave mode to be enabled. When the SS pin is
low, transmission and reception are enabled and the
SDO pin is driven. When the SS pin goes high, the
SDO pin is no longer driven, even if in the middle of
a transmitted byte, and becomes a floating output.
External pull-up/ pull-down resistors may be desirable,
depending on the application.
Note:
When the SPI is in Slave Mode with SS pin
control enabled, (SSPCON<3:0> = 0100)
the SPI module will reset if the SS pin is set
to VDD.
Note:
If the SPI is used in Slave Mode with
CKE = '1', then the SS pin control must be
enabled.
To emulate two-wire communication, the SDO pin can
be connected to the SDI pin. When the SPI needs to
operate as a receiver the SDO pin can be configured as
an input. This disables transmissions from the SDO.
The SDI can always be left as an input (SDI function)
since it cannot create a bus conflict.

I 2C Overview
11.2
This section provides an overview of the Inter-Integrated Circuit (I 2C) bus, with Section 11.3 discussing
the operation of the SSP module in I 2C mode.
The I 2C bus is a two-wire serial interface developed by
the Philips Corporation. The original specification, or
standard mode, was for data transfers of up to 100
Kbps. An enhanced specification, or fast mode is not
supported. This device will communicate with fast
mode devices if attached to the same bus.
The I 2C interface employs a comprehensive protocol to
ensure reliable transmission and reception of data.
When transmitting data, one device is the “master”
which initiates transfer on the bus and generates the
clock signals to permit that transfer, while the other
device(s) acts as the “slave.” All portions of the slave
protocol are implemented in the SSP module’s hardware, except general call support, while portions of the
master protocol need to be addressed in the
PIC16CXXX software. Table 11-2 defines some of the
I 2C bus terminology. For additional information on the
I 2C interface specification, refer to the Philips document “The I 2C bus and how to use it.” #939839340011,
which can be obtained from the Philips Corporation.
In the I 2C interface protocol each device has an
address. When a master wishes to initiate a data transfer, it first transmits the address of the device that it
wishes to “talk” to. All devices “listen” to see if this is
their address. Within this address, a bit specifies if the
master wishes to read-from/write-to the slave device.
The master and slave are always in opposite modes
(transmitter/receiver) of operation during a data transfer. That is they can be thought of as operating in either
of these two relations:
The output stages of the clock (SCL) and data (SDA)
lines must have an open-drain or open-collector in
order to perform the wired-AND function of the bus.
External pull-up resistors are used to ensure a high
level when no device is pulling the line down. The number of devices that may be attached to the I 2C bus is
limited only by the maximum bus loading specification
of 400 pF.
11.2.1
INITIATING AND TERMINATING DATA
TRANSFER
During times of no data transfer (idle time), both the
clock line (SCL) and the data line (SDA) are pulled high
through the external pull-up resistors. The START and
STOP conditions determine the start and stop of data
transmission. The START condition is defined as a high
to low transition of the SDA when the SCL is high. The
STOP condition is defined as a low to high transition of
the SDA when the SCL is high. Figure 11-8 shows the
START and STOP conditions. The master generates
these conditions for starting and terminating data transfer. Due to the definition of the START and STOP conditions, when data is being transmitted, the SDA line
can only change state when the SCL line is low.

FIGURE 11-11: SLAVE-RECEIVER

There are two address formats. The simplest is the 7-bit
address format with a R/W bit (Figure 11-9). The more
complex is the 10-bit address with a R/W bit
(Figure 11-10). For 10-bit address format, two bytes
must be transmitted with the first five bits specifying this
to be a 10-bit address.

If the slave needs to delay the transmission of the next
byte, holding the SCL line low will force the master into
a wait state. Data transfer continues when the slave
releases the SCL line. This allows the slave to move the
received data or fetch the data it needs to transfer
before allowing the clock to start. This wait state technique can also be implemented at the bit level,
Figure 11-12. The slave will inherently stretch the clock,
when it is a transmitter, but will not when it is a receiver.
The slave will have to clear the SSPCON<4> bit to
enable clock stretching when it is a receiver.

TRANSFER ACKNOWLEDGE
All data must be transmitted per byte, with no limit to the
number of bytes transmitted per data transfer. After
each byte, the slave-receiver generates an acknowledge bit (ACK) (Figure 11-11). When a slave-receiver
doesn’t acknowledge the slave address or received
data, the master must abort the transfer. The slave
must leave SDA high so that the master can generate
the STOP condition (Figure 11-8).
FIGURE 11-12:
Clock Pulse for
Acknowledgment
If the master is receiving the data (master-receiver), it
generates an acknowledge signal for each received
byte of data, except for the last byte. To signal the end
of data to the slave-transmitter, the master does not
generate an acknowledge (not acknowledge). The
slave then releases the SDA line so the master can
generate the STOP condition. The master can also
generate the STOP condition during the acknowledge
pulse for valid termination of data transfer.

pulse (not the bus-free state). This allows a master to
send “commands” to the slave and then receive the
requested information or to address a different slave
device. This sequence is shown in Figure 11-15.
Figure 11-13 and Figure 11-14 show Master-transmitter and Master-receiver data transfer sequences.
When a master does not wish to relinquish the bus (by
generating a STOP condition), a repeated START condition (Sr) must be generated. This condition is identical
to the start condition (SDA goes high-to-low while SCL

MULTI-MASTER
11.2.4.2 Clock Synchronization
The I2C protocol allows a system to have more than
one master. This is called multi-master. When two or
more masters try to transfer data at the same time, arbitration and synchronization occur.
11.2.4.1
ARBITRATION
Arbitration takes place on the SDA line, while the SCL
line is high. The master which transmits a high when the
other master transmits a low loses arbitration
(Figure 11-16), and turns off its data output stage. A
master which lost arbitration can generate clock pulses
until the end of the data byte where it lost arbitration.
When the master devices are addressing the same
device, arbitration continues into the data.
FIGURE 11-16: MULTI-MASTER
ARBITRATION
(TWO MASTERS)
Clock synchronization occurs after the devices have
started arbitration. This is performed using a
wired-AND connection to the SCL line. A high to low
transition on the SCL line causes the concerned
devices to start counting off their low period. Once a
device clock has gone low, it will hold the SCL line low
until its SCL high state is reached. The low to high transition of this clock may not change the state of the SCL
line, if another device clock is still within its low period.
The SCL line is held low by the device with the longest
low period. Devices with shorter low periods enter a
high wait-state, until the SCL line comes high. When the
SCL line comes high, all devices start counting off their
high periods. The first device to complete its high period
will pull the SCL line low. The SCL line high time is
determined by the device with the shortest high period,
Figure 11-17.

Masters that also incorporate the slave function, and
have lost arbitration must immediately switch over to
slave-receiver mode. This is because the winning master-transmitter may be addressing it.
Arbitration is not allowed between:
• A repeated START condition
• A STOP condition and a data bit
• A repeated START condition and a STOP condition
Care needs to be taken to ensure that these conditions
do not occur.

SSP I 2C Operation
The SSP module in I 2C mode fully implements all slave
functions, except general call support, and provides
interrupts on start and stop bits in hardware to facilitate
firmware implementations of the master functions. The
SSP module implements the standard mode specifications as well as 7-bit and 10-bit addressing. Two pins
are used for data transfer. These are the RC3/SCK/SCL
pin, which is the clock (SCL), and the RC4/SDI/SDA
pin, which is the data (SDA). The user must configure
these pins as inputs or outputs through the
TRISC<4:3> bits. The SSP module functions are
enabled by setting SSP Enable bit SSPEN (SSPCON<5>).

The SSP module has five registers for I2C operation.
These are the:
The SSPCON register allows control of the I 2C operation. Four mode selection bits (SSPCON<3:0>) allow
one of the following I 2C modes to be selected:
• I 2C Slave mode (7-bit address)
• I 2C Slave mode (10-bit address)
• I 2C Slave mode (7-bit address), with start and
stop bit interrupts enabled
• I 2C Slave mode (10-bit address), with start and
stop bit interrupts enabled
• I 2C Firmware controlled Master Mode, slave is
idle
Selection of any I 2C mode, with the SSPEN bit set,
forces the SCL and SDA pins to be open drain, provided these pins are programmed to inputs by setting
the appropriate TRISC bits.
The SSPSTAT register gives the status of the data
transfer. This information includes detection of a START
or STOP bit, specifies if the received byte was data or
address if the next byte is the completion of 10-bit
address, and if this will be a read or write data transfer.
The SSPSTAT register is read only.
The SSPBUF is the register to which transfer data is
written to or read from. The SSPSR register shifts the
data in or out of the device. In receive operations, the
SSPBUF and SSPSR create a doubled buffered
receiver. This allows reception of the next byte to begin
before reading the last byte of received data. When the
complete byte is received, it is transferred to the
SSPBUF register and flag bit SSPIF is set. If another
complete byte is received before the SSPBUF register
is read, a receiver overflow has occurred and bit
SSPOV (SSPCON<6>) is set and the byte in the
SSPSR is lost.
The SSPADD register holds the slave address. In 10-bit
mode, the user needs to write the high byte of the
address (1111 0 A9 A8 0). Following the high byte
address match, the low byte of the address needs to be
loaded (A7:A0).

In slave mode, the SCL and SDA pins must be configured as inputs (TRISC<4:3> set). The SSP module will
override the input state with the output data when
required (slave-transmitter).
When an address is matched or the data transfer after
an address match is received, the hardware automatically will generate the acknowledge (ACK) pulse, and
then load the SSPBUF register with the received value
currently in the SSPSR register.
There are certain conditions that will cause the SSP
module not to give this ACK pulse. These are if either
(or both):
a)
b)
The buffer full bit BF (SSPSTAT<0>) was set
before the transfer was received.
The overflow bit SSPOV (SSPCON<6>) was set
before the transfer was received.
In this case, the SSPSR register value is not loaded into
the SSPBUF, but bit SSPIF (PIR1<3>) is set. Table 11-3
shows what happens when a data transfer byte is
received, given the status of bits BF and SSPOV. The
shaded cells show the condition where user software
did not properly clear the overflow condition. Flag bit BF
is cleared by reading the SSPBUF register while bit
SSPOV is cleared through software.
The SCL clock input must have a minimum high and
low time for proper operation. The high and low times of
the I2C specification as well as the requirement of the
SSP module is shown in timing parameter #100 and
parameter #101.
11.3.1.1
address is compared on the falling edge of the eighth
clock (SCL) pulse. If the addresses match, and the BF
and SSPOV bits are clear, the following events occur:
a)
b)
c)
d)
In 10-bit address mode, two address bytes need to be
received by the slave (Figure 11-10). The five Most Significant bits (MSbs) of the first address byte specify if
this is a 10-bit address. Bit R/W (SSPSTAT<2>) must
specify a write so the slave device will receive the second address byte. For a 10-bit address the first byte
would equal ‘1111 0 A9 A8 0’, where A9 and A8 are
the two MSbs of the address. The sequence of events
for a 10-bit address is as follows, with steps 7- 9 for
slave-transmitter:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
ADDRESSING
Once the SSP module has been enabled, it waits for a
START condition to occur. Following the START condition, the 8-bits are shifted into the SSPSR register. All
incoming bits are sampled with the rising edge of the
clock (SCL) line. The value of register SSPSR<7:1> is
compared to the value of the SSPADD register. The
The SSPSR register value is loaded into the
SSPBUF register.
The buffer full bit, BF is set.
An ACK pulse is generated.
SSP interrupt flag bit, SSPIF (PIR1<3>) is set
(interrupt is generated if enabled) - on the falling
edge of the ninth SCL pulse.

Receive first (high) byte of Address (bits SSPIF,
BF, and bit UA (SSPSTAT<1>) are set).

clear flag bit SSPIF.
Receive second (low) byte of Address (bits
SSPIF, BF, and UA are set).
Update the SSPADD register with the first (high)

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

11.3.1.3
An SSP interrupt is generated for each data transfer
byte. Flag bit SSPIF must be cleared in software, and
the SSPSTAT register is used to determine the status of
the byte. Flag bit SSPIF is set on the falling edge of the
ninth clock pulse.
TRANSMISSION
When the R/W bit of the incoming address byte is set
and an address match occurs, the R/W bit of the
SSPSTAT register is set. The received address is
loaded into the SSPBUF register. The ACK pulse will be
sent on the ninth bit, and pin RC3/SCK/SCL is held low.
The transmit data must be loaded into the SSPBUF
register, which also loads the SSPSR register. Then pin
RC3/SCK/SCL should be enabled by setting bit CKP
(SSPCON<4>). The master must monitor the SCL pin
prior to asserting another clock pulse. The slave
devices may be holding off the master by stretching the
clock. The eight data bits are shifted out on the falling
edge of the SCL input. This ensures that the SDA signal
is valid during the SCL high time (Figure 11-20).
As a slave-transmitter, the ACK pulse from the master-receiver is latched on the rising edge of the ninth
SCL input pulse. If the SDA line was high (not ACK),
then the data transfer is complete. When the ACK is
latched by the slave, the slave logic is reset and the
slave then monitors for another occurrence of the
START bit. If the SDA line was low (ACK), the transmit
data must be loaded into the SSPBUF register, which
also loads the SSPSR register. Then pin
RC3/SCK/SCL should be enabled by setting bit CKP.

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

ANALOG-TO-DIGITAL
CONVERTER (A/D) MODULE
The A/D module has three registers. These registers
are:
• A/D Result Register (ADRES)
• A/D Control Register 0 (ADCON0)
• A/D Control Register 1 (ADCON1)
This section applies to the PIC16C924 only.
The analog-to-digital (A/D) converter module has five
inputs.
The ADCON0 register, shown in Figure 12-1, controls
the operation of the A/D module. The ADCON1 register, shown in Figure 12-2, configures the functions of
the port pins. The port pins can be configured as analog inputs (RA3 can also be a voltage reference) or as
digital I/O.
The A/D allows conversion of an analog input signal to
a corresponding 8-bit digital number (refer to Application Note AN546 for use of A/D Converter). The output
of the sample and hold is the input into the converter,
which generates the result via successive approximation. The analog reference voltage is software selectable to either the device’s AVDD pin or the voltage level
on the RA3/AN3/VREF pin. The A/D converter has a
unique feature of being able to operate while the device
is in SLEEP mode.
To operate in sleep, the A/D conversion clock must be
derived from the A/D’s internal RC oscillator.

The ADRES register contains the result of the A/D conversion. When the A/D conversion is complete, the
result is loaded into the ADRES register, the GO/DONE
bit (ADCON0<2>) is cleared, and A/D interrupt flag bit
ADIF is set. The block diagram of the A/D module is
shown in Figure 12-3.
After the A/D module has been configured as desired,
the selected channel must be acquired before the conversion is started. The analog input channels must
have their corresponding TRIS bits selected as an
input. To determine acquisition time, see Section 12.1.
After this acquisition time has elapsed the A/D conversion can be started. The following steps should be followed for doing an A/D conversion:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Wait the required acquisition time.
Start conversion:
• Set GO/DONE bit (ADCON0)
Wait for A/D conversion to complete, by either:
• Polling for the GO/DONE bit to be cleared
OR
6.
7.
• Waiting for the A/D interrupt
Read A/D Result register (ADRES), clear bit
ADIF if required.
For next conversion, go to step 1 or step 2 as
required. The A/D conversion time per bit is
defined as TAD. A minimum wait of 2TAD is
required before next acquisition starts.
Configure the A/D module:
• Configure analog pins / voltage reference /
and digital I/O (ADCON1)
• Select A/D input channel (ADCON0)
• Select A/D conversion clock (ADCON0)
• Turn on A/D module (ADCON0)
Configure A/D interrupt (if desired):
• Clear ADIF bit
• Set ADIE bit
• Set GIE bit

A/D Acquisition Requirements
Note 1: The reference voltage (VREF) has no
effect on the equation, since it cancels
itself out.
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 12-4. 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),
(Figure 12-4). The source impedance affects the offset
voltage at the analog input (due to pin leakage current).
The maximum recommended impedance for analog sources is 10 kΩ. After the analog input channel is
selected (changed) this acquisition must be done
before the conversion can be started.
To calculate the minimum acquisition time,
Equation 12-1 may be used. This equation calculates
the acquisition time to within 1/2 LSb error (512 steps
for the A/D). The 1/2 LSb error is the maximum error
allowed for the A/D to meet its specified accuracy.
EQUATION 12-1:
Note 2: The charge holding capacitor (CHOLD) is
not discharged after each conversion.
Note 3: The maximum recommended impedance
for analog sources is 10 kΩ. This is
required to meet the pin leakage specification.
Note 4: After a conversion has completed, a
2.0 TAD delay must complete before
acquisition can begin again. During this
time the holding capacitor is not connected to the selected A/D input channel.

The above equation reduces to:
-51.2 pF (1 kΩ + 7 kΩ + 10 kΩ) ln(0.0020)
TC = -(51.2 pF)(1 kΩ - RSS + RS) ln(1/511)

Selecting the A/D Conversion Clock
The A/D conversion time per bit is defined as TAD. The
A/D conversion requires 9.5 TAD per 8-bit conversion.
The source of the A/D conversion clock is software
selected. The four possible options for TAD are:
•
•
•
•
2TOSC
8TOSC
32TOSC
Internal RC oscillator
12.3
Configuring Analog Port Pins
The ADCON1 and TRISA registers control the operation of the A/D port pins. The port pins that are desired
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
CHS2:CHS0 bits and the TRIS bits.
For correct A/D conversions, the A/D conversion clock
(TAD) must be selected to ensure a minimum TAD time
of 1.6 µs.
Table 12-1 shows the resultant TAD times derived from
the device operating frequencies and the A/D clock
source selected.
Note 1: When reading the port register, all pins
configured as analog inputs will read as
cleared (a low level). Pins configured as
digital inputs, will convert an analog input.
Analog levels on a digitally configured
input will not affect the conversion accuracy.
Note 2: Analog levels on any pin that is defined as
a digital input (including the AN4:AN0
pins), may cause the input buffer to consume current that is out of the devices
specification.

The RC source has a typical TAD time of 4 µs.
These values violate the minimum required TAD time.
For faster conversion times, the selection of another clock source is recommended.
When derived frequency is greater than 1 MHz, the RC A/D conversion clock source is recommended for
sleep mode only

A/D Conversions
Example 12-2 show how to perform an A/D conversion.
The RA pins are configured as analog inputs. The analog reference (VREF) is the device VDD. The A/D interrupt is enabled, and the A/D conversion clock is FRC.
The conversion is performed on the RA0 pin
(channel0).
Note:
The GO/DONE bit should NOT be set in
the same instruction that turns on the A/D.
Clearing the GO/DONE bit during a conversion will
abort the current conversion. The ADRES register will
NOT be updated with the partially completed A/D conversion sample. That is, the ADRES register will continue to contain the value of the last completed
conversion (or the last value written to the ADRES register). After the A/D conversion is aborted, a 2TAD wait
is required before the next acquisition is started. After
this 2TAD wait, an acquisition is automatically started on
the selected channel.

FASTER CONVERSION - LOWER
RESOLUTION TRADE-OFF
Not all applications require a result with 8-bits of resolution, but may instead require a faster conversion time.
The A/D module allows users to make the trade-off of
conversion speed to resolution. Regardless of the resolution required, the acquisition time is the same. To
speed up the conversion, the clock source of the A/D
module may be switched so that the TAD time violates
the minimum specified time (see the applicable electrical specification). Once the TAD time violates the minimum specified time, all the following A/D result bits are
not valid (see A/D Conversion Timing in the Electrical
Specifications section.) The clock sources may only be
switched between the three oscillator versions (cannot
be switched from/to RC). The equation to determine
the time before the oscillator can be switched is as follows:
Since the TAD is based from the device oscillator, the
user must use some method (a timer, software loop,
etc.) to determine when the A/D oscillator may be
changed. Example 12-3 shows a comparison of time
required for a conversion with 4-bits of resolution, versus the 8-bit resolution conversion. The example is for
devices operating at 8 MHz (The A/D clock is programmed for 32TOSC), and assumes that immediately
after 6TAD, the A/D clock is programmed for 2TOSC.
The 2TOSC violates the minimum TAD time, therefore
the last 4-bits will not be converted to correct values.
Conversion time = 2TAD + N • TAD + (8 - N)(2TOSC)
Where: N = number of bits of resolution required.

12.5
A/D Operation During Sleep
The A/D module can operate during SLEEP mode. This
requires that the A/D clock source be set to RC
(ADCS1:ADCS0 = 11). When the RC clock source is
selected, the A/D module waits one instruction cycle
before starting the conversion. This allows the SLEEP
instruction to be executed, which eliminates all digital
switching noise from the conversion. When the conversion is completed the GO/DONE bit will be cleared, and
the result loaded into the ADRES register. If the A/D
interrupt is enabled, the device will wake-up from
SLEEP. If the A/D interrupt is not enabled, the A/D module will then be turned off, although the ADON bit will
remain set.
When the A/D clock source is another clock option (not
RC), a SLEEP instruction will cause the present conversion to be aborted and the A/D module to be turned off,
though the ADON bit will remain set.
Turning off the A/D places the A/D module in its lowest
current consumption state.
Note:
12.6
For the A/D module to operate in SLEEP,
the A/D clock source must be set to RC
(ADCS1:ADCS0 = 11). To perform an A/D
conversion in SLEEP, ensure the SLEEP
instruction immediately follows the instruction that sets the GO/DONE bit.
A/D Accuracy/Error
The absolute accuracy specified for the A/D converter
includes the sum of all contributions for quantization
error, integral error, differential error, full scale error, offset error, and monotonicity. It is defined as the maximum deviation from an actual transition versus an ideal
transition for any code. The absolute error of the A/D
converter is specified at < ±1 LSb for VDD = VREF (over
the device’s specified operating range). However, the
accuracy of the A/D converter will degrade as VDD
diverges from VREF.
scale error is that full scale does not take offset error
into account. Gain error can be calibrated out in software.
Linearity error refers to the uniformity of the code
changes. Linearity errors cannot be calibrated out of
the system. Integral non-linearity error measures the
actual code transition versus the ideal code transition
adjusted by the gain error for each code.
Differential non-linearity measures the maximum actual
code width versus the ideal code width. This measure
is unadjusted.
The maximum pin leakage current is ± 1 µA.
In systems where the device frequency is low, use of
the A/D RC clock is preferred. At moderate to high frequencies, TAD should be derived from the device oscillator. TAD must not violate the minimum and should be
≤ 8 µs for preferred operation. This is because TAD,
when derived from TOSC, is kept away from on-chip
phase clock transitions. This reduces, to a large extent,
the effects of digital switching noise. This is not possible
with the RC derived clock. The loss of accuracy due to
digital switching noise can be significant if many I/O
pins are active.
In systems where the device will enter SLEEP mode
after the start of the A/D conversion, the RC clock
source selection is required. In this mode, the digital
noise from the modules in SLEEP are stopped. This
method gives high accuracy.
12.7
Effects of a RESET
A device reset forces all registers to their reset state.
This forces the A/D module to be turned off, and any
conversion is aborted.
The value that is in the ADRES register is not modified
for a Power-on Reset. The ADRES register will contain
unknown data after a Power-on Reset.
For a given range of analog inputs, the output digital
code will be the same. This is due to the quantization of
the analog input to a digital code. Quantization error is
typically ± 1/2 LSb and is inherent in the analog to digital conversion process. The only way to reduce quantization error is to increase the resolution of the A/D
converter.
Offset error measures the first actual transition of a
code versus the first ideal transition of a code. Offset
error shifts the entire transfer function. Offset error can
be calibrated out of a system or introduced into a system through the interaction of the total leakage current
and source impedance at the analog input.
Gain error measures the maximum deviation of the last
actual transition and the last ideal transition adjusted for
offset error. This error appears as a change in slope of
the transfer function. The difference in gain error to full

Use of the CCP Trigger
An A/D conversion can be started by the “special event
trigger” of the CCP1 module. This requires that the
CCP1M3:CCP1M0 bits (CCP1CON<3:0>) be programmed as 1011 and that the A/D module is enabled
(ADON bit is set). When the trigger occurs, the
GO/DONE bit will be set, starting the A/D conversion,
and the Timer1 counter will be reset to zero. Timer1 is
reset to automatically repeat the A/D acquisition period
with minimal software overhead (moving the ADRES to
the desired location). The appropriate analog input
channel must be selected and the minimum acquisition
done before the “special event trigger” sets the
GO/DONE bit (starts a conversion).
If the A/D module is not enabled (ADON is cleared),
then the “special event trigger” will be ignored by the
A/D module, but will still reset the Timer1 counter.

Connection Considerations
12.10
Transfer Function
The ideal transfer function of the A/D converter is as follows: the first transition occurs when the analog input
voltage (VAIN) is Analog VREF / 256 (Figure 12-5).

An external RC filter is sometimes added for anti-aliasing of the input signal. The R component should be
selected to ensure that the total source impedance is
kept under the 10 kΩ recommended specification. Any
external components connected (via hi-impedance) to
an analog input pin (capacitor, zener diode, etc.) should
have very little leakage current at the pin.

LCD MODULE
Once the module is initialized for the LCD panel, the
individual bits of the LCD data registers are cleared/set
to represent a clear/dark pixel respectively.
The LCD module generates the timing control to drive
a static or multiplexed LCD panel, with support for up to
32 segments multiplexed with up to 4 commons. It also
provides control of the LCD pixel data.
Once the module is configured, the LCDEN
(LCDCON<7>) bit is used to enable or disable the LCD
module. The LCD panel can also operate during sleep
by clearing the SLPEN (LCDCON<6>) bit.
The interface to the module consists of 3 control registers (LCDCON, LCDSE, and LCDPS) used to define
the timing requirements of the LCD panel and up to 16
LCD data registers (LCD00-LCD15) that represent the
array of the pixel data. In normal operation, the control
registers are configured to match the LCD panel being
used. Primarily, the initialization information consists of
selecting the number of commons required by the LCD
panel, and then specifying the LCD Frame clock rate to
be used by the panel.
Figure 13-4 through Figure 13-7 provides waveforms
for Static, 1/2, 1/3, and 1/4 MUX drives.

LCD Timing
The LCD module has 3 possible clock source inputs
and supports static, 1/2, 1/3, and 1/4 multiplexing.
13.1.1
TIMING CLOCK SOURCE SELECTION
The clock sources for the LCD timing generation are:
• Internal RC oscillator
• Timer1 oscillator
• System clock divided by 256
The first timing source is an internal RC oscillator which
runs at a nominal frequency of 14 kHz. This oscillator
provides a lower speed clock which may be used to
continue running the LCD while the processor is in
sleep. The RC oscillator will power-down when it is not
selected or when the LCD module is disabled.
The second source is the Timer1 external oscillator.
This oscillator provides a lower speed clock which may
be used to continue running the LCD while the processor is in sleep. It is assumed that the frequency provided on this oscillator will be 32 kHz. To use the
Timer1 oscillator as a LCD module clock source, it is
only necessary to set the T1OSCEN (T1CON<3>) bit.
The third source is the system clock divided by 256.
This divider ratio is chosen to provide about 32 kHz
output when the external oscillator is 8 MHz. The
divider is not programmable. Instead the LCDPS register is used to set the LCD frame clock rate.
All of the clock sources are selected with bits CS1:CS0
(LCDCON<3:2>). Refer to Figure 13-1 for details of the
register programming.

LCD Interrupts
The LCD timing generation provides an interrupt that
defines the LCD frame timing. This interrupt can be
used to coordinate the writing of the pixel data with the
start of a new frame. Writing pixel data at the frame
boundary allows a visually crisp transition of the image.
This interrupt can also be used to synchronize external
events to the LCD. For example, the interface to an
external segment driver, such as a Microchip AY0438,
can be synchronized for segment data update to the
LCD frame.
A new frame is defined to begin at the leading edge of
the COM0 common signal. The interrupt will be set
immediately after the LCD controller completes
accessing all pixel data required for a frame. This will
occur at a certain fixed time before the frame boundary
as shown in Figure 13-9. The LCD controller will begin
to access data for the next frame within TFWR after the
interrupt.

Operation During Sleep
The LCD module can operate during sleep. The selection is controlled by bit SLPEN (LCDCON<6>). Setting
the SLPEN bit allows the LCD module to go to sleep.
Clearing the SLPEN bit allows the module to continue
to operate during sleep.
If a SLEEP instruction is executed and SLPEN = '1', the
LCD module will cease all functions and go into a very
low current consumption mode. The module will stop
operation immediately and drive the minimum LCD
voltage on both segment and common lines. Figure
13-11 shows this operation. To ensure that the LCD
completes the frame, the SLEEP instruction should be
executed immediately after a LCD frame boundary.
The LCD interrupt can be used to determine the frame
boundary. See Section 13.2 for the formulas to calculate the delay.
If a SLEEP instruction is executed and SLPEN = '0', the
module will continue to display the current contents of
the LCDD registers. To allow the module to continue
operation while in sleep, the clock source must be
either the internal RC oscillator or Timer1 external
oscillator. While in sleep, the LCD data cannot be
changed. The LCD module current consumption will
not decrease in this mode, however the overall consumption of the device will be lower due to shutdown of
the core and other peripheral functions.
Note:
The internal RC oscillator or external
Timer1 oscillator must be used to operate
the LCD module during sleep.

Voltage Generation
There are two methods for LCD voltage generation,
internal charge pump, or external resistor ladder.
2*VLCD1 and VLCD3 = 3 * VLCD1. When the charge pump
is not operating, Vlcd3 will be internally tied to VDD. See
the Electrical Specifications section for charge pump
capacitor and potentiometer values.
13.5.1
13.5.2
CHARGE PUMP
The LCD charge pump is shown in Figure 13-13. The
1.0V - 2.3V regulator will establish a stable base voltage from the varying battery voltage. This regulator is
adjustable through the range by connecting a variable
external resistor from VLCDADJ to ground. The potentiometer provides contrast adjustment for the LCD. This
base voltage is connected to VLCD1 on the charge
pump. The charge pump boosts VLCD1 into VLCD2 =
EXTERNAL R-LADDER
The LCD module can also use an external resistor ladder (R-Ladder) to generate the LCD voltages.
Figure 13-13 shows external connections for static and
1/3 bias. The VGEN (LCDCON<4>) bit must be cleared
to use an external R-Ladder.

SPECIAL FEATURES OF THE
CPU
What sets a microcontroller apart from other processors are special circuits to deal with the needs of
real-time applications. The PIC16CXXX family has a
host of such features intended to maximize system reliability, minimize cost through elimination of external
components, provide power saving operating modes
and offer code protection. These are:
• Oscillator selection
• Reset
- Power-on Reset (POR)
- Power-up Timer (PWRT)
- Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST)
• Interrupts
• Watchdog Timer (WDT)
• SLEEP
• Code protection
• ID locations
• In-circuit serial programming
the Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST), intended to keep
the chip in reset until the crystal oscillator is stable. The
other is the Power-up Timer (PWRT), which provides a
fixed delay of 72 ms (nominal) on power-up only,
designed to keep the part in reset while the power supply stabilizes. With these two timers on-chip, most
applications need no external reset circuitry.
SLEEP mode is designed to offer a very low current
power-down mode. The user can wake-up from SLEEP
through external reset, Watchdog Timer Wake-up or
through an interrupt. Several oscillator options are also
made available to allow the part to fit the application.
The RC oscillator option saves system cost while the
LP crystal option saves power. A set of configuration
bits are used to select various options.
14.1
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 in program memory location 2007h.
The PIC16CXXX has a Watchdog Timer which can be
shut off only through configuration bits. It runs off its
own RC oscillator for added reliability. There are two
timers that offer necessary delays on power-up. One is
The user will note that address 2007h is beyond the
user program memory space. In fact, it belongs to the
special test/configuration memory space (2000h 3FFFh), which can be accessed only during programming.

EXTERNAL CRYSTAL OSCILLATOR
CIRCUIT
Either a prepackaged oscillator can be used or a simple
oscillator circuit with TTL gates can be built. Prepackaged oscillators provide a wide operating range and
better stability. A well-designed crystal oscillator will
provide good performance with TTL gates. Two types of
crystal oscillator circuits can be used; one with series
resonance, or one with parallel resonance.
Figure 14-4 shows implementation of a parallel resonant oscillator circuit. The circuit is designed to use the
fundamental frequency of the crystal. The 74AS04
inverter performs the 180-degree phase shift that a parallel oscillator requires. The 4.7 kΩ resistor provides the
negative feedback for stability. The 10 kΩ potentiometer
biases the 74AS04 in the linear region. This could be
used for external oscillator designs.

RC OSCILLATOR
For timing insensitive applications the “RC” device
option offers additional cost savings. The RC oscillator
frequency is a function of the supply voltage, the resistor (REXT) and capacitor (CEXT) values, and the operating temperature. In addition to this, the oscillator
frequency will vary from unit to unit due to normal process parameter variation. Furthermore, the difference
in lead frame capacitance between package types will
also affect the oscillation frequency, especially for low
CEXT values. The user also needs to take into account
variation due to tolerance of external R and C components used. Figure 14-6 shows how the R/C combination is connected to the PIC16CXXX. For REXT values
below 2.2 kΩ, the oscillator operation may become
unstable, or stop completely. For very high REXT values
(e.g. 1 MΩ), the oscillator becomes sensitive to noise,
humidity and leakage. Thus, we recommend to keep
Rext between 3 kΩ and 100 kΩ.
Although the oscillator will operate with no external
capacitor (CEXT = 0 pF), we recommend using values
above 20 pF for noise and stability reasons. With no or
small external capacitance, the oscillation frequency
can vary dramatically due to changes in external
capacitances, such as PCB trace capacitance or package lead frame capacitance.
See characterization data for desired device for RC frequency variation from part to part due to normal process variation. The variation is larger for larger R (since
leakage current variation will affect RC frequency more
for large R) and for smaller C (since variation of input
capacitance will affect RC frequency more).
10k
20 pF
See characterization data for desired device for variation of oscillator frequency due to VDD for given
REXT/CEXT values as well as frequency variation due to
operating temperature for given R, C, and VDD values.
20 pF
Figure 14-5 shows a series resonant oscillator circuit.
This circuit is also designed to use the fundamental frequency of the crystal. The inverter performs a
180-degree phase shift in a series resonant oscillator
circuit. The 330 kΩ resistors provide the negative feedback to bias the inverters in their linear region.
The oscillator frequency, divided by 4, is available on
the OSC2/CLKOUT pin, and can be used for test purposes or to synchronize other logic (see Figure 3-3 for
waveform).

in software to determine the nature of the reset. See
Table 14-6 for a full description of reset states of all registers.
A simplified block diagram of the on-chip reset circuit is
shown in Figure 14-7.
Some registers are not affected in any reset condition;
their status is unknown on POR and unchanged in any
other reset. Most other registers are reset to a “reset
state” on Power-on Reset (POR), on the MCLR and
WDT Reset, and on MCLR Reset during SLEEP. They
are not affected by a WDT Wake-up, which is viewed as
The devices all have a MCLR noise filter in the MCLR
reset path. The filter will detect and ignore small pulses.
It should be noted that a WDT Reset does not drive
MCLR pin low.

14.4.1
Power-on Reset (POR), Power-up
Timer (PWRT) and Oscillator Start-up
Timer (OST)
14.4.3
The Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) provides 1024
oscillator cycle (from OSC1 input) delay after the
PWRT delay is over. This ensures that the crystal oscillator or resonator has started and stabilized.
POWER-ON RESET (POR)
A Power-on Reset pulse is generated on-chip when
VDD rise is detected (in the range of 1.5V - 2.1V). To
take advantage of the POR, just tie the MCLR pin
directly (or through a resistor) to VDD. This will eliminate external RC components usually needed to create
a Power-on Reset. A maximum rise time for VDD is
specified. See Electrical Specifications for details.
The OST time-out is invoked only for XT, LP and HS
modes and only on Power-on Reset or wake-up from
SLEEP.
14.4.4
TIME-OUT SEQUENCE
On power-up the time-out sequence is as follows: First
PWRT time-out is invoked after the POR time delay has
expired. Then OST is activated. The total time-out will
vary based on oscillator configuration and the status of
the PWRT. For example, in RC mode with the PWRT
disabled, there will be no time-out at all. Figure 14-8,
Figure 14-9, and Figure 14-10 depict time-out
sequences on power-up.
When the device starts normal operation (exits the
reset condition), device operating parameters (voltage,
frequency, temperature, ...) must be met to ensure
operation. If these conditions are not met, the device
must be held in reset until the operating conditions are
met.
For additional information, refer to Application Note
AN607, “Power-up Trouble Shooting.”
14.4.2
OSCILLATOR START-UP TIMER (OST)
Since the time-outs occur from the POR pulse, if MCLR
is kept low long enough, the time-outs will expire. Then
bringing MCLR high will begin execution immediately
(Figure 14-9). This is useful for testing purposes or to
synchronize more than one PIC16CXXX device operating in parallel.
POWER-UP TIMER (PWRT)
The Power-up Timer provides a fixed 72 ms nominal
time-out on power-up only, from the POR. The
Power-up Timer operates on an internal RC oscillator.
The chip is kept in reset as long as the PWRT is active.
The PWRT’s time delay allows VDD to rise to an acceptable level. A configuration bit is provided to enable/disable the PWRT.
Table 14-5 shows the reset conditions for some special
function registers, while Table 14-6 shows the reset
conditions for all the registers.
14.4.5
The power-up time delay will vary from chip to chip due
to VDD, temperature, and process variation. See DC
parameters for details.
POWER CONTROL/STATUS REGISTER
(PCON)
Bit1 is Power-on Reset Status bit POR. It is cleared on
a Power-on Reset and unaffected otherwise. The user
must set this bit following a Power-on Reset.

The interrupt control register (INTCON) records individual interrupt requests in flag bits. It also has individual
and global interrupt enable bits.
Note:
Individual interrupt flag bits are set regardless of the status of their corresponding
mask bit or the GIE bit.
A global interrupt enable bit, GIE (INTCON<7>)
enables (if set) all un-masked interrupts or disables (if
cleared) all interrupts. When bit GIE is enabled, and an
interrupt’s flag bit and mask bit are set, the interrupt will
vector immediately. Individual interrupts can be disabled through their corresponding enable bits in various
registers. Individual interrupt bits are set regardless of
the status of the GIE bit. The GIE bit is cleared on reset.
The “return from interrupt” instruction, RETFIE, exits
the interrupt routine as well as sets the GIE bit, which
re-enables interrupts.
The RB0/INT pin interrupt, the RB port change interrupt
and the TMR0 overflow interrupt flags are contained in
the INTCON register.
The peripheral interrupt flags are contained in the special function register PIR1. The corresponding interrupt
enable bits are contained in special function register
PIE1, and the peripheral interrupt enable bit is contained in special function register INTCON.
When an interrupt is responded to, the GIE bit is
cleared to disable any further interrupts, the return
address is pushed onto the stack and the PC is loaded
with 0004h. Once in the interrupt service routine the
source(s) of the interrupt can be determined by polling
the interrupt flag bits. The interrupt flag bit(s) must be
cleared in software before re-enabling interrupts to
avoid recursive interrupts.
For external interrupt events, such as the RB0/INT pin
or RB Port change interrupt, the interrupt latency will be
three or four instruction cycles. The exact latency
depends when the interrupt event occurs
(Figure 14-15). The latency is the same for one or two
cycle instructions. Individual interrupt flag bits are set
regardless of the status of their corresponding mask bit
or the GIE bit.

14.6
INT INTERRUPT
External interrupt on RB0/INT pin is edge triggered:
either rising if bit INTEDG (OPTION<6>) is set, or falling, if the INTEDG bit is clear. When a valid edge
appears on the RB0/INT pin, flag bit INTF
(INTCON<1>) is set. This interrupt can be disabled by
clearing enable bit INTE (INTCON<4>). Flag bit INTF
must be cleared in software in the interrupt service routine before re-enabling this interrupt. The INT interrupt
can wake-up the processor from SLEEP, if bit INTE was
set prior to going into SLEEP. The status of global interrupt enable bit GIE decides whether or not the processor branches to the interrupt vector following wake-up.
See Section 14.8 for details on SLEEP mode.
14.5.2
TMR0 INTERRUPT
An overflow (FFh → 00h) in the TMR0 register will set
flag bit T0IF (INTCON<2>). The interrupt can be
enabled/disabled by setting/clearing enable bit T0IE
(INTCON<5>). (Section 7.0)
14.5.3
Context Saving During Interrupts
During an interrupt, only the return PC value is saved
on the stack. Typically, users may wish to save key registers during an interrupt i.e., W register and STATUS
register. This will have to be implemented in software.
Example 14-1 stores and restores the STATUS, W, and
PCLATH registers. The register, W_TEMP, must be
defined in each bank and must be defined at the same
offset from the bank base address (i.e., if W_TEMP is
defined at 0x20 in bank 0, it must also be defined at
0xA0 in bank 1).
The example:
a)
b)
c)
d)
e)
f)
Stores the W register.
Stores the STATUS register in bank 0.
Stores the PCLATH register.
Executes the ISR code.
Restores the STATUS register (and bank select
bit).
Restores the W and PCLATH registers.
PORTB INTCON CHANGE
An input change on PORTB<7:4> sets flag bit RBIF
(INTCON<0>). The interrupt can be enabled/disabled
by setting/clearing enable bit RBIE (INTCON<4>).

Watchdog Timer (WDT)
assigned to the WDT under software control by writing
to the OPTION register. Thus, time-out periods up to
2.3 seconds can be realized.
The Watchdog Timer is as a free running on-chip RC
oscillator which does not require any external components. This RC oscillator is separate from the RC oscillator of the OSC1/CLKIN pin. That means that the WDT
will run, even if the clock on the OSC1/CLKIN and
OSC2/CLKOUT pins of the device has been stopped,
for example, by execution of a SLEEP instruction. During normal operation, a WDT time-out generates a
device RESET (Watchdog Timer Reset). If the device is
in SLEEP mode, a WDT time-out causes the device to
wake-up and continue with normal operation (Watchdog Timer Wake-up). The WDT can be permanently
disabled by clearing configuration bit WDTE
(Section 14.1).
14.7.1
The CLRWDT and SLEEP instructions clear the WDT
and the postscaler, if assigned to the WDT, and prevent
it from timing out and generating a device RESET condition.
The TO bit in the STATUS register will be cleared upon
a Watchdog Timer time-out.
14.7.2
WDT PROGRAMMING CONSIDERATIONS
It should also be taken into account that under worst
case conditions (VDD = Min., Temperature = Max., and
max. WDT prescaler) it may take several seconds
before a WDT time-out occurs.
WDT PERIOD
Note:
When a CLRWDT instruction is executed
and the prescaler is assigned to the WDT,
the prescaler count will be cleared, but the
prescaler assignment is not changed.
The WDT has a nominal time-out period of 18 ms, (with
no prescaler). The time-out periods vary with temperature, VDD and process variations from part to part (see
DC specs). If longer time-out periods are desired, a
prescaler with a division ratio of up to 1:128 can be

Power-down Mode (SLEEP)
Power-down mode is entered by executing a SLEEP
instruction.
If enabled, the Watchdog Timer will be cleared but
keeps running, the PD bit (STATUS<3>) is cleared, the
TO (STATUS<4>) bit is set, and the oscillator driver is
turned off. The I/O ports maintain the status they had,
before the SLEEP instruction was executed (driving
high, low, or hi-impedance).
For lowest current consumption in this mode, place all
I/O pins at either VDD, or VSS, ensure no external circuitry is drawing current from the I/O pin, power-down
the A/D, disable external clocks. Pull all I/O pins, that
are hi-impedance inputs, high or low externally to avoid
switching currents caused by floating inputs. The T0CKI
input should also be at VDD or VSS for lowest current
consumption. The contribution from on-chip pull-ups on
PORTB should be considered.
The MCLR pin must be at a logic high level (VIHMC).
14.8.1
WAKE-UP FROM SLEEP
The device can wake up from SLEEP through one of
the following events:
1.
2.
3.
External reset input on MCLR pin.
Watchdog Timer Wake-up (if WDT was
enabled).
Interrupt from RB0/INT pin, RB port change, or
some peripheral interrupts.
Other peripherals can not generate interrupts since
during SLEEP, no on-chip Q clocks are present.
When the SLEEP instruction is being executed, the next
instruction (PC + 1) is pre-fetched. For the device to
wake-up through an interrupt event, the corresponding
interrupt enable bit must be set (enabled). Wake-up is
regardless of the state of the GIE bit. If the GIE bit is
clear (disabled), the device continues execution at the
instruction after the SLEEP instruction. If the GIE bit is
set (enabled), the device executes the instruction after
the SLEEP instruction and then branches to the interrupt address (0004h). In cases where the execution of
the instruction following SLEEP is not desirable, the
user should have a NOP after the SLEEP instruction.
14.8.2
WAKE-UP USING INTERRUPTS
When global interrupts are disabled (GIE cleared) and
any interrupt source has both its interrupt enable bit
and interrupt flag bit set, one of the following will occur:
• If the interrupt occurs before the execution of a
SLEEP instruction, the SLEEP instruction will complete as a NOP. Therefore, the WDT and WDT
postscaler will not be cleared, the TO bit will not
be set and PD bits will not be cleared.
• If the interrupt occurs during or after the execution of a SLEEP instruction, the device will immediately wake up from sleep. The SLEEP instruction
will be completely executed before the wake-up.
Therefore, the WDT and WDT postscaler will be
cleared, the TO bit will be set and the PD bit will
be cleared.
External MCLR Reset will cause a device reset. All
other events are considered a continuation of program
execution and cause a “wake-up”. The TO and PD bits
in the STATUS register can be used to determine the
cause of device reset. The PD bit, which is set on
power-up is cleared when SLEEP is invoked. The TO bit
is cleared if a WDT time-out occurred (and caused
wake-up).
Even if the flag bits were checked before executing a
SLEEP instruction, it may be possible for flag bits to
become set before the SLEEP instruction completes. To
determine whether a SLEEP instruction executed, test
the PD bit. If the PD bit is set, the SLEEP instruction was
executed as a NOP.
The following peripheral interrupts can wake the device
from SLEEP:
To ensure that the WDT is cleared, a CLRWDT instruction should be executed before a SLEEP instruction.

Program Verification/Code Protection
Microchip does not recommend code protecting windowed devices.
ID Locations
Four memory locations (2000h - 2003h) are designated
as ID locations where the user can store checksum or
other code-identification numbers. These locations are
not accessible during normal execution but are readable and writable during program/verify. It is recommended that only the 4 least significant bits of the ID
location are used.

GIE = '1' assumed. In this case after wake- up, the processor jumps to the interrupt routine. If GIE = '0', execution will continue in-line.

In-Circuit Serial Programming
PIC16CXXX microcontrollers can be serially programmed while in the end application circuit. This is
simply done with two lines for clock and data, and three
other lines for power, ground, and the programming
voltage. This allows customers to manufacture boards
with unprogrammed devices, and then program the
microcontroller just before shipping the product. This
also allows the most recent firmware or a custom firmware to be programmed.
The device is placed into a program/verify mode by
holding the RB6 and RB7 pins low while raising the
MCLR (VPP) pin from VIL to VIHH (see programming
specification). RB6 becomes the programming clock
and RB7 becomes the programming data. Both RB6
and RB7 are Schmitt Trigger inputs in this mode.
DS30444E - page 118
After reset, to place the device into program/verify
mode, the program counter (PC) is at location 00h. A
6-bit command is then supplied to the device. Depending on the command, 14-bits of program data are then
supplied to or from the device, depending if the command was a load or a read. For complete details of
serial programming, please refer to the PIC16C6X/7X
Programming Specifications (Literature #DS30228).

INSTRUCTION SET SUMMARY
Each PIC16CXXX instruction is a 14-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 PIC16CXX instruction
set summary in Table 15-2 lists byte-oriented, bit-oriented, and literal and control operations. Table 15-1
shows the opcode field descriptions.
For byte-oriented instructions, 'f' represents a file register designator and 'd' represents a destination designator. The file register designator specifies which file
register is to be used by the instruction.
The destination designator specifies where the result of
the operation is to be placed. If 'd' is zero, the result is
placed in the W register. If 'd' is one, the result is placed
in the file register specified in the instruction.
For bit-oriented instructions, 'b' represents a bit field
designator which selects the number of the bit affected
by the operation, while 'f' represents the number of the
file in which the bit is located.
For literal and control operations, 'k' represents an
eight or eleven bit constant or literal value.
The instruction set is highly orthogonal and is grouped
into three basic categories:
• Byte-oriented operations
• Bit-oriented operations
• Literal and control operations

All instructions are executed within one single instruction cycle, unless a conditional test is true or the program counter is changed as a result of an instruction. In
this case, the execution takes two instruction cycles
with the second cycle executed as a NOP. One instruction cycle consists of four oscillator periods. Thus, for an
oscillator frequency of 4 MHz, the normal instruction
execution time is 1 µs. If a conditional test is true or the
program counter is changed as a result of an instruction, the instruction execution time is 2 µs.
Table 15-2 lists the instructions recognized by the
MPASM assembler.

1: When an I/O register is modified as a function of itself ( e.g., MOVF PORTB, 1), the value used will be that value present
on the pins themselves. For example, if the data latch is '1' for a pin configured as input and is driven low by an external
device, the data will be written back with a '0'.
2: If this instruction is executed on the TMR0 register (and, where applicable, d = 1), the prescaler will be cleared if assigned
to the Timer0 Module.
3: If Program Counter (PC) is modified or a conditional test is true, the instruction requires two cycles. The second cycle is
executed as a NOP.

These parameters are characterized but not tested.
Data in "Typ" column is at 5V, 25˚C unless otherwise stated. These parameters are for design guidance only
and are not tested.
Note 1: This is the limit to which VDD can be lowered in SLEEP mode without losing RAM data.
2: The supply current is mainly a function of the operating voltage and frequency. Other factors such as I/O pin
loading and switching rate, oscillator type, internal code execution pattern, and temperature also have an
impact on the current consumption.
The test conditions for all IDD measurements in active operation mode are:
OSC1 = external square wave, from rail to rail; all I/O pins tristated, pulled to VDD
MCLR = VDD.
3: The power-down current in SLEEP mode does not depend on the oscillator type. Power-down current is
measured with the part in SLEEP mode, with all I/O pins in hi-impedance state and tied to VDD and VSS.
4: For RC osc configuration, current through Rext is not included. The current through the resistor can be estimated by the formula Ir = VDD/2Rext (mA) with Rext in kOhm.
5: The ∆ current is the additional current consumed when this peripheral is enabled. This current should be
added to the base IDD or IPD measurement.
6: PWRT must be enabled for slow ramps.
7: ∆ΙLCDT1 and ∆ΙLCDRC includes the current consumed by the LCD Module and the voltage generation circuitry. This does not include current dissipated by the LCD panel.

Note 1: In RC oscillator configuration, the OSC1/CLKIN pin is a Schmitt Trigger input. It is not recommended that the
PIC16C9XX be driven with external clock in RC mode.
2: 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.
3: Negative current is defined as current sourced by the pin.

Data in "Typ" column is at 5V, 25˚C unless otherwise stated. These parameters are for design guidance only and are not
tested.
Note 1: Instruction cycle period (TCY) equals four times the input oscillator time-base period. All specified values are based on
characterization data for that particular oscillator type under standard operating conditions with the device executing code.
Exceeding these specified limits may result in an unstable oscillator operation and/or higher than expected current consumption. All devices are tested to operate at "min." values with an external clock applied to the OSC1/CLKIN pin.
When an external clock input is used, the "Max." cycle time limit is "DC" (no clock) for all devices.

Note:
Microchip part number information
Customer specific information*
Year code (last 2 digits of calender year)
Week code (week of January 1 is week '01’)
Facility code of the plant at which wafer is manufactured.
C = Chandler, Arizona, U.S.A.
S = Tempe, Arizona, U.S.A.
Mask revision number for microcontroller
Assembly code of the plant or country of origin in which
part was assembled.
In the event the full Microchip part number cannot be marked on one
line, it will be carried over to the next line thus limiting the number of
available characters for customer specific information.
* Standard OTP marking consists of Microchip part number, year code, week code,
facility code, mask revision number, and assembly code. For OTP marking beyond
this, certain price adders apply. Please check with your Microchip Sales Office.
For QTP devices, any special marking adders are included in QTP price.

APPENDIX A:
APPENDIX B: COMPATIBILITY
The following are the list of modifications over the
PIC16C5X microcontroller family:
To convert code written for PIC16C5X to PIC16CXX,
the user should take the following steps:
1.
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
10.
11.
12.
13.
14.
15.
16.
17.
Instruction word length is increased to 14-bits.
This allows larger page sizes both in program
memory (4K now as opposed to 512 before) and
register file (192 bytes now versus 32 bytes
before).
A PC high latch register (PCLATH) is added to
handle program memory paging. Bits PA2, PA1,
PA0 are removed from STATUS register.
Data memory paging is redefined slightly. STATUS register is modified.
Four new instructions have been added:
RETURN, RETFIE, ADDLW, and SUBLW.
Two instructions TRIS and OPTION are being
phased out although they are kept for compatibility with PIC16C5X.
OPTION and TRIS registers are made addressable.
Interrupt capability is added. Interrupt vector is
at 0004h.
Stack size is increased to 8 deep.
Reset vector is changed to 0000h.
Reset of all registers is revisited. Five different
reset (and wake-up) types are recognized. Registers are reset differently.
Wake up from SLEEP through interrupt is
added.
Two separate timers, Oscillator Start-up Timer
(OST) and Power-up Timer (PWRT) are
included for more reliable power-up. These timers are invoked selectively to avoid unnecessary
delays on power-up and wake-up.
PORTB has weak pull-ups and interrupt on
change feature.
T0CKI pin is also a port pin (RA4) now.
FSR is made a full eight bit register.
“In-circuit programming” is made possible. The
user can program PIC16CXX devices using only
five pins: VDD, VSS, MCLR/VPP, RB6 (clock) and
RB7 (data in/out).
PCON status register is added with a Power-on
Reset status bit (POR).
Code protection scheme is enhanced such that
portions of the program memory can be protected, while the remainder is unprotected.

5.
Remove any program memory page select operations (PA2, PA1, PA0 bits) for CALL, GOTO.
Revisit any computed jump operations (write to
PC or add to PC, etc.) to make sure page bits are
set properly under the new scheme.
Eliminate any data memory page switching.
Redefine data variables to reallocate them.
Verify all writes to STATUS, OPTION, and FSR
registers since these have changed.
Change reset vector to 0000h.

ON-LINE SUPPORT
Microchip provides two methods of on-line support.
These are the Microchip BBS and the Microchip World
Wide Web (WWW) site.
Use Microchip's Bulletin Board Service (BBS) to get
current information and help about Microchip products.
Microchip provides the BBS communication channel for
you to use in extending your technical staff with microcontroller and memory experts.
To provide you with the most responsive service possible, the Microchip systems team monitors the BBS,
posts the latest component data and software tool
updates, provides technical help and embedded systems insights, and discusses how Microchip products
provide project solutions.
The web site, like the BBS, is used by Microchip as a
means to make files and information easily available to
customers. To view the site, the user must have access
to the Internet and a web browser, such as Netscape or
Microsoft Explorer. Files are also available for FTP
download from our FTP site.
Connecting to the Microchip Internet Web Site
The Microchip web site is available by using your favorite Internet browser to attach to:
www.microchip.com
The file transfer site is available by using an FTP service to connect to:
ftp.mchip.com/biz/mchip
The web site and file transfer site provide a variety of
services. Users may download files for the latest Development Tools, Datasheets, Application Notes, User's
Guides, Articles and Sample Programs. A variety of
Microchip specific business information is also available, including listings of Microchip sales offices, distributors and factory representatives. Other data
available for consideration is:
• Latest Microchip Press Releases
• Technical Support Section with Frequently Asked
Questions
• Design Tips
• Device Errata
• Job Postings
• Microchip Consultant Program Member Listing
• Links to other useful web sites related to
Microchip Products
Connecting to the Microchip BBS
Connect worldwide to the Microchip BBS using either
the Internet or the CompuServe communications network.
Internet:
You can telnet or ftp to the Microchip BBS at the
address: mchipbbs.microchip.com
CompuServe Communications Network:
When using the BBS via the Compuserve Network, in
most cases, a local call is your only expense. The
Microchip BBS connection does not use CompuServe
membership services, therefore you do not need CompuServe membership to join Microchip's BBS. There is
no charge for connecting to the Microchip BBS.
 1997 Microchip Technology Inc.
The procedure to connect will vary slightly from country
to country. Please check with your local CompuServe
agent for details if you have a problem. CompuServe
service allow multiple users various baud rates
depending on the local point of access.
The following connect procedure applies in most locations.
1. Set your modem to 8-bit, No parity, and One stop
(8N1). This is not the normal CompuServe setting
which is 7E1.
2. Dial your local CompuServe access number.
3. Depress the <Enter> key and a garbage string will
appear because CompuServe is expecting a 7E1
setting.
4. Type +, depress the <Enter> key and “Host Name:”
will appear.
5. Type MCHIPBBS, depress the <Enter> key and you
will be connected to the Microchip BBS.
In the United States, to find CompuServe's phone number closest to you, set your modem to 7E1 and dial
(800) 848-4480 for 300-2400 baud or (800) 331-7166
for 9600-14400 baud connection. After the system
responds with “Host Name:”, type NETWORK, depress
the <Enter> key and follow CompuServe's directions.
For voice information (or calling from overseas), you
may call (614) 723-1550 for your local CompuServe
number.
Microchip regularly uses the Microchip BBS to distribute technical information, application notes, source
code, errata sheets, bug reports, and interim patches
for Microchip systems software products. For each SIG,
a moderator monitors, scans, and approves or disapproves files submitted to the SIG. No executable files
are accepted from the user community in general to
limit the spread of computer viruses.
Systems Information and Upgrade Hot Line
The Systems Information and Upgrade Line provides
system users a listing of the latest versions of all of
Microchip's development systems software products.
Plus, this line provides information on how customers
can receive any currently available upgrade kits.The
Hot Line Numbers are:
1-800-755-2345 for U.S. and most of Canada, and
1-602-786-7302 for the rest of the world.
