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

Core Features
nanoWatt TECHNOLOGY
All of the devices in the PIC18F46J11 family incorporate
a range of features that can significantly reduce power
consumption during operation. Key features are:
• Alternate Run Modes: By clocking the controller
from the Timer1 source or the internal RC
oscillator, power consumption during code
execution can be reduced by as much as 90%.
• Multiple Idle Modes: The controller can also run
with its CPU core disabled but the peripherals still
active. In these states, power consumption can be
reduced even further, to as little as 4% of normal
operational requirements.
• On-the-Fly Mode Switching: The
power-managed modes are invoked by user code
during operation, allowing the users to incorporate
power-saving ideas into their application’s
software design.
1.1.2
OSCILLATOR OPTIONS AND
FEATURES
All of the devices in the PIC18F46J11 family offer five
different oscillator options, allowing users a range of
choices in developing application hardware. These
include:
• Two Crystal modes using crystals or ceramic
resonators.
• Two External Clock modes offering the option of a
divide-by-4 clock output.
• An internal oscillator block, which provides an
8 MHz clock and an INTRC source (approximately 31 kHz, stable over temperature and VDD),
as well as a range of six user-selectable clock
frequencies, between 125 kHz to 4 MHz, for a
total of eight clock frequencies. This option frees
an oscillator pin for use as an additional general
purpose I/O.
• A Phase Lock Loop (PLL) frequency multiplier,
available to the high-speed crystal, and external
and internal oscillators, providing a clock speed
up to 48 MHz.
The internal oscillator block provides a stable reference
source that gives the PIC18F46J11 family additional
features for robust operation:
• Fail-Safe Clock Monitor: This option constantly
monitors the main clock source against a reference
signal provided by the internal oscillator. If a clock
failure occurs, the controller is switched to the
internal oscillator, allowing for continued low-speed
operation or a safe application shutdown.
• Two-Speed Start-up: This option allows the
internal oscillator to serve as the clock source
from Power-on Reset (POR), or wake-up from
Sleep mode, until the primary clock source is
available.
1.1.3
EXPANDED MEMORY
The PIC18F46J11 family provides ample room for
application code, from 16 Kbytes to 64 Kbytes of code
space. The Flash cells for program memory are rated
to last in excess of 10000 erase/write cycles. Data
retention without refresh is conservatively estimated to
be greater than 20 years.
The Flash program memory is readable and writable
during normal operation. The PIC18F46J11 family also
provides plenty of room for dynamic application data
with up to 3.8 Kbytes of data RAM.

PIC18F46J11 FAMILY
1.1.4
EXTENDED INSTRUCTION SET
The PIC18F46J11 family implements the optional
extension to the PIC18 instruction set, adding eight
new instructions and an Indexed Addressing mode.
Enabled as a device configuration option, the extension
has been specifically designed to optimize re-entrant
application code originally developed in high-level
languages, such as C.
1.1.5
EASY MIGRATION
Regardless of the memory size, all devices share the
same rich set of peripherals, allowing for a smooth
migration path as applications grow and evolve.
The consistent pinout scheme used throughout the
entire family also aids in migrating to the next larger
device.
The PIC18F46J11 family is also pin compatible with
other PIC18 families, such as the PIC18F4620,
PIC18F4520 and PIC18F45J10. This allows a new
dimension to the evolution of applications, allowing
developers to select different price points within
Microchip’s PIC18 portfolio, while maintaining the
same feature set.
1.2
Other Special Features
• Communications: The PIC18F46J11 family
incorporates a range of serial and parallel
communication peripherals. This device also
includes two independent Enhanced USARTs and
two Master Synchronous Serial Port (MSSP)
modules, capable of both Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) and I2C™ (Master and Slave) modes of
operation. The device also has a parallel port and
can be configured to serve as either a Parallel
Master Port (PMP) or as a Parallel Slave Port
(PSP).
• ECCP Modules: All devices in the family
incorporate three Enhanced
Capture/Compare/PWM (ECCP) modules to
maximize flexibility in control applications. Up to
four different time bases may be used to perform
several different operations at once. Each of the
ECCPs offers up to four PWM outputs, allowing for
a total of eight PWMs. The ECCPs also offer many
beneficial features, including polarity selection, programmable dead time, auto-shutdown and restart
and Half-Bridge and Full-Bridge Output modes.
DS39932D-page 12
• 10-Bit A/D Converter: This module incorporates
programmable acquisition time, allowing for a
channel to be selected and a conversion to be
initiated without waiting for a sampling period, and
thus, reducing code overhead.
• Extended Watchdog Timer (WDT): This
enhanced version incorporates a 16-bit prescaler,
allowing an extended time-out range that is stable
across operating voltage and temperature. See
Section 29.0 “Electrical Characteristics” for
time-out periods.
1.3
Details on Individual Family
Devices
Devices in the PIC18F46J11 family are available in
28-pin and 44-pin packages. Block diagrams for the
two groups are shown in Figure 1-1 and Figure 1-2.
The devices are differentiated from each other in two
ways:
• Flash program memory (three sizes: 16 Kbytes
for the PIC18FX4J11, 32 Kbytes for PIC18FX5J11
devices and 64 Kbytes for PIC18FX6J11)
• I/O ports (three bidirectional ports on 28-pin
devices, five bidirectional ports on 44-pin devices)
All other features for devices in this family are identical.
These are summarized in Table 1-1 and Table 1-2.
The pinouts for the PIC18F2XJ11 devices are listed in
Table 1-3 and the pinouts for the PIC18F4XJ11 devices
are listed in Table 1-4.
The PIC18F46J11 family of devices provides an
on-chip voltage regulator to supply the correct voltage
levels to the core. Parts designated with an “F” part
number (such as PIC18F46J11) have the voltage
regulator enabled.
These parts can run from 2.15V-3.6V on VDD, but should
have the VDDCORE pin connected to VSS through a
low-ESR capacitor. Parts designated with an “LF” part
number (such as PIC18LF46J11) do not enable the voltage regulator. For “LF” parts, an external supply of
2.0V-2.7V has to be supplied to the VDDCORE pin with
2.0V-3.6V supplied to VDD (VDDCORE should never
exceed VDD).
For more details about the internal voltage regulator,
see Section 26.3 “On-Chip Voltage Regulator”.

(see Section 2.5 “ICSP Pins”)
• OSCI and OSCO pins when an external oscillator
source is used
(see Section 2.6 “External Oscillator Pins”)
C7: 10 F, 6.3V or greater, tantalum or ceramic
Additionally, the following pins may be required:
• VREF+/VREF- pins are used when external voltage
reference for analog modules is implemented
Note:
C1 through C6: 0.1 F, 20V ceramic
R1: 10 kΩ
R2: 100Ω to 470Ω
Note 1:
The example shown is for a PIC18F device
with five VDD/VSS and AVDD/AVSS pairs.
Other devices may have more or less pairs;
adjust the number of decoupling capacitors
appropriately.
The AVDD and AVSS pins must always be
connected, regardless of whether any of
the analog modules are being used.
The minimum mandatory connections are shown in
Figure 2-1.

2.2
2.2.1
Power Supply Pins
DECOUPLING CAPACITORS
The use of decoupling capacitors on every pair of
power supply pins, such as VDD, VSS, AVDD and
AVSS, is required.
Consider the following criteria when using decoupling
capacitors:
• Value and type of capacitor: A 0.1 F (100 nF),
10-20V capacitor is recommended. The capacitor
should be a low-ESR device, with a resonance
frequency in the range of 200 MHz and higher.
Ceramic capacitors are recommended.
• Placement on the printed circuit board: The
decoupling capacitors should be placed as close
to the pins as possible. It is recommended to
place the capacitors on the same side of the
board as the device. If space is constricted, the
capacitor can be placed on another layer on the
PCB using a via; however, ensure that the trace
length from the pin to the capacitor is no greater
than 0.25 inch (6 mm).
• Handling high-frequency noise: If the board is
experiencing high-frequency noise (upward of
tens of MHz), add a second ceramic type capacitor in parallel to the above described decoupling
capacitor. The value of the second capacitor can
be in the range of 0.01 F to 0.001 F. Place this
second capacitor next to each primary decoupling
capacitor. In high-speed circuit designs, consider
implementing a decade pair of capacitances as
close to the power and ground pins as possible
(e.g., 0.1 F in parallel with 0.001 F).
• Maximizing performance: On the board layout
from the power supply circuit, run the power and
return traces to the decoupling capacitors first,
and then to the device pins. This ensures that the
decoupling capacitors are first in the power chain.
Equally important is to keep the trace length
between the capacitor and the power pins to a
minimum, thereby reducing PCB trace
inductance.
2.2.2
TANK CAPACITORS
On boards with power traces running longer than
six inches in length, it is suggested to use a tank capacitor for integrated circuits, including microcontrollers, to
supply a local power source. The value of the tank
capacitor should be determined based on the trace
resistance that connects the power supply source to
the device, and the maximum current drawn by the
device in the application. In other words, select the tank
capacitor so that it meets the acceptable voltage sag at
the device. Typical values range from 4.7 F to 47 F.
DS39932D-page 32
2.3
Master Clear (MCLR) Pin
The MCLR pin provides two specific device
functions: Device Reset, and Device Programming
and Debugging. If programming and debugging are
not required in the end application, a direct
connection to VDD may be all that is required. The
addition of other components, to help increase the
application’s resistance to spurious Resets from
voltage sags, may be beneficial. A typical
configuration is shown in Figure 2-1. Other circuit
designs may be implemented, depending on the
application’s requirements.
During programming and debugging, the resistance
and capacitance that can be added to the pin must
be considered. Device programmers and debuggers
drive the MCLR pin. Consequently, specific voltage
levels (VIH and VIL) and fast signal transitions must
not be adversely affected. Therefore, specific values
of R1 and C1 will need to be adjusted based on the
application and PCB requirements. For example, it is
recommended that the capacitor, C1, be isolated
from the MCLR pin during programming and
debugging operations by using a jumper (Figure 2-2).
The jumper is replaced for normal run-time
operations.
Any components associated with the MCLR pin
should be placed within 0.25 inch (6 mm) of the pin.

2:

MCLR from the external capacitor, C, in the
event of MCLR pin breakdown, due to

Overstress (EOS). Ensure that the MCLR pin
VIH and VIL specifications are met.

2.4
Voltage Regulator Pins (VCAP/
VDDCORE)
When the regulator is enabled (“F” devices), a low-ESR
(< 5Ω) capacitor is required on the VCAP/VDDCORE pin to
stabilize the voltage regulator output voltage. The VCAP/
VDDCORE pin must not be connected to VDD and must
use a capacitor of 10 µF connected to ground. The type
can be ceramic or tantalum. Suitable examples of
capacitors are shown in Table 2-1. Capacitors with
equivalent specifications can be used.
Note that the “LF” versions are provided with the
voltage regulator permanently disabled; they must
always be provided with a supply voltage on the
VDDCORE pin.

When the regulator is disabled (“LF” devices), the

CONSIDERATIONS FOR CERAMIC
CAPACITORS
In recent years, large value, low-voltage, surface-mount
ceramic capacitors have become very cost effective in
sizes up to a few tens of microfarad. The low-ESR, small
physical size and other properties make ceramic
capacitors very attractive in many types of applications.
Ceramic capacitors are suitable for use with the
VDDCORE voltage regulator of this microcontroller.
However, some care is needed in selecting the capacitor to ensure that it maintains sufficient capacitance
over the intended operating range of the application.
Typical low-cost, 10 µF ceramic capacitors are available
in X5R, X7R and Y5V dielectric ratings (other types are
also available, but are less common). The initial tolerance specifications for these types of capacitors are
often specified as ±10% to ±20% (X5R and X7R), or 20%/+80% (Y5V). However, the effective capacitance
that these capacitors provide in an application circuit will
also vary based on additional factors, such as the
applied DC bias voltage and the temperature. The total
in-circuit tolerance is, therefore, much wider than the
initial tolerance specification.
The X5R and X7R capacitors typically exhibit satisfactory temperature stability (ex: ±15% over a wide
temperature range, but consult the manufacturer's data
sheets for exact specifications). However, Y5V capacitors typically have extreme temperature tolerance
specifications of +22%/-82%. Due to the extreme
temperature tolerance, a 10 µF nominal rated Y5V type
capacitor may not deliver enough total capacitance to
meet minimum VDDCORE voltage regulator stability and
transient response requirements. Therefore, Y5V
capacitors are not recommended for use with the
VDDCORE regulator if the application must operate over
a wide temperature range.
In addition to temperature tolerance, the effective
capacitance of large value ceramic capacitors can vary
substantially, based on the amount of DC voltage
applied to the capacitor. This effect can be very significant, but is often overlooked or is not always
documented.
A typical DC bias voltage vs. capacitance graph for
X7R type and Y5V type capacitors is shown in
Figure 2-4.

DC Bias Voltage (VDC)
When selecting a ceramic capacitor to be used with the
VDDCORE voltage regulator, it is suggested to select a
high-voltage rating, so that the operating voltage is a
small percentage of the maximum rated capacitor voltage. For example, choose a ceramic capacitor rated at
16V for the 2.5V VDDCORE voltage. Suggested
capacitors are shown in Table 2-1.
2.5
ICSP Pins
The PGC and PGD pins are used for In-Circuit Serial
Programming™ (ICSP™) and debugging purposes. It
is recommended to keep the trace length between the
ICSP connector and the ICSP pins on the device as
short as possible. If the ICSP connector is expected to
experience an ESD event, a series resistor is recommended, with the value in the range of a few tens of
ohms, not to exceed 100Ω.
Pull-up resistors, series diodes, and capacitors on the
PGC and PGD pins are not recommended as they will
interfere with the programmer/debugger communications to the device. If such discrete components are an
application requirement, they should be removed from
the circuit during programming and debugging. Alternatively, refer to the AC/DC characteristics and timing
requirements information in the respective device
Flash programming specification for information on
capacitive loading limits, and pin input voltage high
(VIH) and input low (VIL) requirements.
For device emulation, ensure that the “Communication
Channel Select” (i.e., PGCx/PGDx pins), programmed
into the device, matches the physical connections for
the ICSP to the Microchip debugger/emulator tool.
For more information on available Microchip
development tools connection requirements, refer to
Section 28.0 “Development Support”.

The oscillator circuit should be placed on the same

circuit close to the respective oscillator pins with no
more than 0.5 inch (12 mm) between the circuit
components and the pins. The load capacitors should
be placed next to the oscillator itself, on the same side
of the board.
Use a grounded copper pour around the oscillator circuit to isolate it from surrounding circuits. The
grounded copper pour should be routed directly to the
MCU ground. Do not run any signal traces or power
traces inside the ground pour. Also, if using a two-sided
board, avoid any traces on the other side of the board
where the crystal is placed.

In planning the application’s routing and I/O assignments, ensure that adjacent port pins, and other

(i.e., free of high frequencies, short rise and fall times,
and other similar noise).

3.1.1
OSCILLATOR CONTROL
The operation of the oscillator in PIC18F46J11 family
devices is controlled through three Configuration registers and two control registers. Configuration registers,
CONFIG1L, CONFIG1H and CONFIG2L, select the
oscillator mode, PLL prescaler and CPU divider
options. As Configuration bits, these are set when the
device is programmed and left in that configuration until
the device is reprogrammed.
The OSCCON register (Register 3-2) selects the Active
Clock mode; it is primarily used in controlling clock
switching in power-managed modes. Its use is
discussed in Section 3.3.1 “Oscillator Control
Register”.
The OSCTUNE register (Register 3-1) is used to trim the
INTOSC frequency source and select the low-frequency
clock source that drives several special features. The
OSCTUNE register is also used to activate or disable the
Phase Locked Loop (PLL). Its use is described in
Section 3.2.5.1 “OSCTUNE Register”.

modes listed in Table 3-1. For oscillator modes which
produce a clock output (CLKO) on pin RA6, the output
frequency will be one fourth of the peripheral clock
frequency. The clock output stops when in Sleep mode,
but will continue during Idle mode (see Figure 3-1).

3.2.5
INTERNAL OSCILLATOR BLOCK
The PIC18F46J11 family devices include an internal
oscillator block which generates two different clock
signals; either can be used as the microcontroller’s
clock source. The internal oscillator may eliminate the
need for external oscillator circuits on the OSC1 and/or
OSC2 pins.
The main output (INTOSC) is an 8 MHz clock source
which can be used to directly drive the device clock. It
also drives the INTOSC postscaler, which can provide
a range of clock frequencies from 31 kHz to 8 MHz.
Additionally, the INTOSC may be used in conjunction
with the PLL to generate clock frequencies up to
32 MHz.
The other clock source is the internal RC oscillator
(INTRC), which provides a nominal 31 kHz output.
INTRC is enabled if it is selected as the device clock
source. It is also enabled automatically when any of the
following are enabled:
•
•
•
•
Power-up Timer
Fail-Safe Clock Monitor
Watchdog Timer
Two-Speed Start-up
These features are discussed in more detail in
Section 26.0 “Special Features of the CPU”.
The clock source frequency (INTOSC direct, INTRC
direct or INTOSC postscaler) is selected by configuring
the IRCF bits of the OSCCON register (page 44).
 2011 Microchip Technology Inc.
PIC18F46J11 FAMILY
3.2.5.1
OSCTUNE Register
The internal oscillator’s output has been calibrated at
the factory but can be adjusted in the user’s application. This is done by writing to the OSCTUNE register
(Register 3-1).
When the OSCTUNE register is modified, the INTOSC
frequency will begin shifting to the new frequency.
Code execution continues during this shift. There is no
indication that the shift has completed.
The OSCTUNE register also contains the INTSRC bit.
The INTSRC bit allows users to select which internal
oscillator provides the clock source when the 31 kHz
frequency option is selected. This is covered in more
detail in Section 3.3.1 “Oscillator Control Register”.
The 4x Phase Locked Loop (PLL) can be used with
the internal oscillator block to produce faster device
clock speeds than are normally possible with the
internal oscillator sources. When enabled, the PLL
produces a clock speed up to 32 MHz.
PLL operation is controlled through software. The
control bit, PLLEN (OSCTUNE<6>), is used to enable
or disable its operation. The PLL is available only to
INTOSC when the device is configured to use one of
the INTPLL modes as the primary clock source,
SCS<1:0> = 00 (FOSC<2:0> = 011 or 010).
Additionally, the PLL will only function when the
selected output frequency is either 4 MHz or 8 MHz
(OSCCON<6:4> = 111 or 110).
When configured for one of the PLL enabled modes, setting the PLLEN bit does not immediately switch the
device clock to the PLL output. The PLL requires up to
two milliseconds to start-up and lock, during which time,
the device continues to be clocked. Once the PLL output
is ready, the microcontroller core will automatically
switch to the PLL derived frequency.
3.2.5.2
Internal Oscillator Output Frequency
and Drift
The internal oscillator block is calibrated at the factory
to produce an INTOSC output frequency of 8.0 MHz.
However, this frequency may drift as VDD or temperature changes, which can affect the controller operation
in a variety of ways.
3.2.5.3
Compensating for INTOSC Drift
It is possible to adjust the INTOSC frequency by
modifying the value in the OSCTUNE register. This has
no effect on the INTRC clock source frequency.
Tuning the INTOSC source requires knowing when to
make the adjustment, in which direction it should be
made, and in some cases, how large a change is
needed. When using the EUSART, for example, an
adjustment may be required when it begins to generate
framing errors or receives data with errors while in
Asynchronous mode. Framing errors indicate that the
device clock frequency is too high; to adjust for this,
decrement the value in OSCTUNE to reduce the clock
frequency. On the other hand, errors in data may suggest that the clock speed is too low; to compensate,
increment OSCTUNE to increase the clock frequency.
It is also possible to verify device clock speed against
a reference clock. Two timers may be used: one timer
is clocked by the peripheral clock, while the other is
clocked by a fixed reference source, such as the
Timer1 oscillator. Both timers are cleared, but the timer
clocked by the reference generates interrupts. When
an interrupt occurs, the internally clocked timer is read
and both timers are cleared. If the internally clocked
timer value is greater than expected, then the internal
oscillator block is running too fast. To adjust for this,
decrement the OSCTUNE register.
Finally, an ECCP module can use free-running Timer1
(or Timer3), clocked by the internal oscillator block and
an external event with a known period (i.e., AC power
frequency). The time of the first event is captured in the
CCPRxH:CCPRxL registers and is recorded for use
later. When the second event causes a capture, the
time of the first event is subtracted from the time of the
second event. Since the period of the external event is
known, the time difference between events can be
calculated.
If the measured time is greater than the calculated time,
the internal oscillator block is running too fast; to
compensate, decrement the OSCTUNE register. If the
measured time is less than the calculated time, the internal oscillator block is running too slow; to compensate,
increment the OSCTUNE register.
The low-frequency INTRC oscillator operates independently of the INTOSC source. Any changes in INTOSC
across voltage and temperature are not necessarily
reflected by changes in INTRC and vice versa.

Clock Sources and Oscillator
Switching
Like previous PIC18 enhanced devices, the
PIC18F46J11 family includes a feature that allows the
device clock source to be switched from the main
oscillator to an alternate, low-frequency clock source.
PIC18F46J11 family devices offer two alternate clock
sources. When an alternate clock source is enabled,
the various power-managed operating modes are
available.
Essentially, there are three clock sources for these
devices:
• Primary Oscillators
• Secondary Oscillators
• Internal Oscillator Block
The Primary Oscillators include the External Crystal
and Resonator modes, the External Clock modes and
the internal oscillator block. The particular mode is
defined by the FOSC<2:0> Configuration bits. The
details of these modes are covered earlier in this
chapter.
DS39932D-page 42
The Secondary Oscillators are external sources that
are not connected to the OSC1 or OSC2 pins. These
sources may continue to operate even after the
controller is placed in a power-managed mode.
PIC18F46J11 family devices offer the Timer1 oscillator
as a secondary oscillator. This oscillator, in all
power-managed modes, is often the time base for
functions such as a Real-Time Clock (RTC). Most often,
a 32.768 kHz watch crystal is connected between the
RC0/T1OSO/T1CKI/RP11 and RC1/T1OSI/RP12 pins.
Like the HS Oscillator mode circuits, loading capacitors
are also connected from each pin to ground. The Timer1
oscillator is discussed in more detail in Section 13.5
“Timer1 Oscillator”.
In addition to being a primary clock source, the
postscaled internal clock is available as a
power-managed mode clock source. The INTRC
source is also used as the clock source for several
special features, such as the WDT and Fail-Safe Clock
Monitor (FSCM).
 2011 Microchip Technology Inc.
PIC18F46J11 FAMILY
3.3.1
OSCILLATOR CONTROL REGISTER
The OSCCON register (Register 3-2) controls several
aspects of the device clock’s operation, both in
full-power operation and in power-managed modes.
The System Clock Select bits, SCS<1:0>, select the
clock source. The available clock sources are the
primary clock (defined by the FOSC<2:0> Configuration bits), the secondary clock (Timer1 oscillator) and
the postscaled internal clock.The clock source changes
immediately, after one or more of the bits is written to,
following a brief clock transition interval. The SCS bits
are cleared on all forms of Reset.
The Internal Oscillator Frequency Select bits,
IRCF<2:0>, select the frequency output provided on the
postscaled internal clock line. The choices are the
INTRC source, the INTOSC source (8 MHz) or one of
the frequencies derived from the INTOSC postscaler
(31 kHz to 4 MHz). If the postscaled internal clock is
supplying the device clock, changing the states of these
bits will have an immediate change on the internal oscillator’s output. On device Resets, the default output
frequency of the INTOSC postscaler is set at 4 MHz.
When an output frequency of 31 kHz is selected
(IRCF<2:0> = 000), users may choose the internal
oscillator, which acts as the source. This is done with
the INTSRC bit in the OSCTUNE register
(OSCTUNE<7>). Setting this bit selects INTOSC as a
31.25 kHz clock source by enabling the divide-by-256
output of the INTOSC postscaler. Clearing INTSRC
selects INTRC (nominally 31 kHz) as the clock source.
This option allows users to select the tunable and more
precise INTOSC as a clock source, while maintaining
power savings with a very low clock speed. Regardless
of the setting of INTSRC, INTRC always remains the
clock source for features such as the WDT and the
FSCM.
The IDLEN bit determines if the device goes into Sleep
mode, or one of the Idle modes, when the SLEEP
instruction is executed.
The use of the flag and control bits in the OSCCON
register is discussed in more detail in Section 4.0
“Low-Power Modes”.
Note 1: The Timer1 crystal driver is enabled by
setting the T1OSCEN bit in the Timer1
Control register (T1CON<3>). If the
Timer1 oscillator is not enabled, then any
attempt to select the Timer1 clock source
will be ignored, unless the CONFIG2L
register’s T1DIG bit is set.
2: If Timer1 is driving a crystal, it is recommended that the Timer1 oscillator be
operating and stable prior to switching to
it as the clock source; otherwise, a very
long delay may occur while the Timer1
oscillator starts.
3.3.2
OSCILLATOR TRANSITIONS
PIC18F46J11 family devices contain circuitry to
prevent clock “glitches” when switching between clock
sources. A short pause in the device clock occurs during the clock switch. The length of this pause is the sum
of two cycles of the old clock source and three to four
cycles of the new clock source. This formula assumes
that the new clock source is stable.
Clock transitions are discussed in more detail in
Section 4.1.2 “Entering Power-Managed Modes”.
The OSTS and T1RUN bits indicate which clock source
is currently providing the device clock. The OSTS bit
indicates that the Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) has
timed out and the primary clock is providing the device
clock in primary clock modes. The T1RUN bit
(T1CON<6>) indicates when the Timer1 oscillator is
providing the device clock in secondary clock modes.
In power-managed modes, only one of these bits will
be set at any time. If none of these bits are set, the
INTRC is providing the clock or the internal oscillator
block has just started and is not yet stable.

The ROSSLP and ROSEL bits (REFOCON<5:4>)
control the availability of the reference output during
Sleep mode. The ROSEL bit determines if the oscillator
is on OSC1 and OSC2, or the current system clock
source is used for the reference clock output. The
ROSSLP bit determines if the reference source is
available on RB2 when the device is in Sleep mode.
Reference Clock Output
In addition to the peripheral clock/4 output in certain
oscillator modes, the device clock in the PIC18F46J11
family can also be configured to provide a reference
clock output signal to a port pin. This feature is available in all oscillator configurations and allows the user
to select a greater range of clock submultiples to drive
external devices in the application.
To use the reference clock output in Sleep mode, both
the ROSSLP and ROSEL bits must be set. The device
clock must also be configured for an EC or HS mode;
otherwise, the oscillator on OSC1 and OSC2 will be
powered down when the device enters Sleep mode.
Clearing the ROSEL bit allows the reference output
frequency to change as the system clock changes
during any clock switches.
This reference clock output is controlled by the
REFOCON register (Register 3-3). Setting the ROON
bit (REFOCON<7>) makes the clock signal available
on the REFO (RB2) pin. The RODIV<3:0> bits enable
the selection of 16 different clock divider options.

Effects of Power-Managed Modes
on Various Clock Sources
When the PRI_IDLE mode is selected, the designated
primary oscillator continues to run without
interruption. In secondary clock modes (SEC_RUN
and SEC_IDLE), the Timer1 oscillator is operating and
providing the device clock. The Timer1 oscillator may
also run in all power-managed modes if required to
clock Timer1 or Timer3.
In internal oscillator modes (RC_RUN and RC_IDLE),
the internal oscillator block provides the device clock
source. The 31 kHz INTRC output can be used directly
to provide the clock and may be enabled to support
various special features regardless of the
power-managed mode (see Section 26.2 “Watchdog
Timer (WDT)”, Section 26.4 “Two-Speed Start-up”
and Section 26.5 “Fail-Safe Clock Monitor” for more
information on WDT, FSCM and Two-Speed Start-up).
The INTOSC output at 8 MHz may be used directly to
clock the device or may be divided down by the
postscaler. The INTOSC output is disabled if the clock
is provided directly from the INTRC output.
If Sleep mode is selected, all clock sources, which are
no longer required, are stopped. Since all the transistor
switching currents have been stopped, Sleep mode
achieves the lowest current consumption of the device
(only leakage currents) outside of Deep Sleep mode.
3.6
Power-up Delays
Power-up delays are controlled by two timers so that no
external Reset circuitry is required for most applications. The delays ensure that the device is kept in
Reset until the device power supply is stable under
normal circumstances and the primary clock is operating and stable. For additional information on power-up
delays, see Section 5.6 “Power-up Timer (PWRT)”.
The first timer is the Power-up Timer (PWRT), which
provides a fixed delay on power-up (parameter 33,
Table 29-15).
The second timer is the Oscillator Start-up Timer
(OST), intended to keep the chip in Reset until the
crystal oscillator is stable (HS mode). The OST does
this by counting 1024 oscillator cycles before allowing
the oscillator to clock the device.
There is a delay of interval, TCSD (parameter 38,
Table 29-15), following POR, while the controller
becomes ready to execute instructions. This delay runs
concurrently with any other delays. This may be the only
delay that occurs when any of the internal oscillator or
EC modes are used as the primary clock source.
Enabling any on-chip feature that will operate during
Sleep mode increases the current consumed during
Sleep mode. The INTRC is required to support WDT
operation. The Timer1 oscillator may be operating to
support an RTC. Other features may be operating that
do not require a device clock source (i.e., MSSP slave,
PMP, INTx pins, etc.). Peripherals that may add
significant current consumption are listed in
Section 29.2 “DC Characteristics: Power-Down and
Supply Current PIC18F46J11 Family (Industrial)”.

LOW-POWER MODES
The IDLEN bit (OSCCON<7>) controls CPU clocking
and the SCS<1:0> bits (OSCCON<1:0>) select the
clock source. The individual modes, bit settings, clock
sources and affected modules are summarized in
Table 4-1.
The PIC18F46J11 family devices can manage power
consumption through clocking to the CPU and the
peripherals. In general, reducing the clock frequency
and the amount of circuitry being clocked reduces power
consumption.
4.1.1
For managing power in an application, the primary
modes of operation are:
The SCS<1:0> bits allow the selection of one of three
clock sources for power-managed modes. They are:
•
•
•
•
• Primary clock source – Defined by the
FOSC<2:0> Configuration bits
• Timer1 clock – Provided by the secondary
oscillator
• Postscaled internal clock – Derived from the
internal oscillator block
Run Mode
Idle Mode
Sleep Mode
Deep Sleep Mode
Additionally, there is an Ultra Low-Power Wake-up
(ULPWU) mode for generating an interrupt-on-change
on RA0.
These modes define which portions of the device are
clocked and at what speed.
• The Run and Idle modes can use any of the three
available clock sources (primary, secondary or
internal oscillator blocks).
• The Sleep mode does not use a clock source.
The ULPWU mode on RA0 allows a slow falling voltage
to generate an interrupt-on-change on RA0 without
excess current consumption. See Section 4.7 “Ultra
Low-Power Wake-up”.
The power-managed modes include several
power-saving features offered on previous PIC®
devices, such as clock switching, ULPWU and Sleep
mode. In addition, the PIC18F46J11 family devices add
a new power-managed Deep Sleep mode.
4.1
Selecting Power-Managed Modes
Selecting a power-managed mode requires these
decisions:
• Will the CPU be clocked?
• If so, which clock source will be used?
 2011 Microchip Technology Inc.
4.1.2
CLOCK SOURCES
ENTERING POWER-MANAGED
MODES
Switching from one clock source to another begins by
loading the OSCCON register. The SCS<1:0> bits
select the clock source.
Changing these bits causes an immediate switch to the
new clock source, assuming that it is running. The
switch also may be subject to clock transition delays.
These delays are discussed in Section 4.1.3 “Clock
Transitions and Status Indicators” and subsequent
sections.
Entry to the power-managed Idle or Sleep modes is
triggered by the execution of a SLEEP instruction. The
actual mode that results depends on the status of the
IDLEN bit.
Depending on the current mode and the mode being
switched to, a change to a power-managed mode does
not always require setting all of these bits. Many transitions may be done by changing the oscillator select
bits, the IDLEN bit or the DSEN bit prior to issuing a
SLEEP instruction.
If the IDLEN and DSEN bits are already configured
correctly, it may only be necessary to perform a SLEEP
instruction to switch to the desired mode.

4.1.3
CLOCK TRANSITIONS AND STATUS
INDICATORS
The length of the transition between clock sources is
the sum of two cycles of the old clock source and three
to four cycles of the new clock source. This formula
assumes that the new clock source is stable.
Two bits indicate the current clock source and its
status:
OSTS
(OSCCON<3>)
and
T1RUN
(T1CON<6>). In general, only one of these bits will be
set in a given power-managed mode. When the OSTS
bit is set, the primary clock would be providing the
device clock. When the T1RUN bit is set, the Timer1
oscillator would be providing the clock. If neither of
these bits is set, INTRC would be clocking the device.
Note:
4.1.4
Executing a SLEEP instruction does not
necessarily place the device into Sleep
mode. It acts as the trigger to place the
controller into either the Sleep or Deep
Sleep mode, or one of the Idle modes,
depending on the setting of the IDLEN bit.
MULTIPLE SLEEP COMMANDS
The power-managed mode that is invoked with the
SLEEP instruction is determined by the setting of the
IDLEN and DSEN bits at the time the instruction is executed. If another SLEEP instruction is executed, the
device will enter the power-managed mode specified
by IDLEN and DSEN at that time. If IDLEN or DSEN
have changed, the device will enter the new
power-managed mode specified by the new setting.
4.2
4.2.1
PRI_RUN MODE
The PRI_RUN mode is the normal, full-power execution mode of the microcontroller. This is also the default
mode upon a device Reset unless Two-Speed Start-up
is enabled (see Section 26.4 “Two-Speed Start-up”
for details). In this mode, the OSTS bit is set (see
Section 3.3.1 “Oscillator Control Register”).
4.2.2
SEC_RUN MODE
The SEC_RUN mode is the compatible mode to the
“clock switching” feature offered in other PIC18
devices. In this mode, the CPU and peripherals are
clocked from the Timer1 oscillator. This gives users the
option of low-power consumption while still using a
high-accuracy clock source.
SEC_RUN mode is entered by setting the SCS<1:0>
bits to ‘01’. The device clock source is switched to the
Timer1 oscillator (see Figure 4-1), the primary
oscillator is shut down, the T1RUN bit (T1CON<6>) is
set and the OSTS bit is cleared.
Note:
The Timer1 oscillator should already be
running prior to entering SEC_RUN
mode. If the T1OSCEN bit is not set when
the SCS<1:0> bits are set to ‘01’, entry to
SEC_RUN mode will not occur. If the
Timer1 oscillator is enabled, but not yet
running, device clocks will be delayed until
the oscillator has started. In such situations, initial oscillator operation is far from
stable and unpredictable operation may
result.
Run Modes
In the Run modes, clocks to both the core and
peripherals are active. The difference between these
modes is the clock source.
DS39932D-page 48
 2011 Microchip Technology Inc.
PIC18F46J11 FAMILY
On transitions from SEC_RUN mode to PRI_RUN
mode, the peripherals and CPU continue to be clocked
from the Timer1 oscillator while the primary clock is
started. When the primary clock becomes ready, a
clock switch back to the primary clock occurs (see
FIGURE 4-1:
Figure 4-2). When the clock switch is complete, the
T1RUN bit is cleared, the OSTS bit is set and the
primary clock would be providing the clock. The IDLEN
and SCS bits are not affected by the wake-up; the
Timer1 oscillator continues to run.

4.2.3
RC_RUN MODE
On transitions from RC_RUN mode to PRI_RUN mode,
the device continues to be clocked from the INTOSC
block while the primary clock is started. When the
primary clock becomes ready, a clock switch to the
primary clock occurs (see Figure 4-4). When the clock
switch is complete, the OSTS bit is set and the primary
clock is providing the device clock. The IDLEN and
SCS bits are not affected by the switch. The INTRC
clock source will continue to run if either the WDT or the
FSCM is enabled.
In RC_RUN mode, the CPU and peripherals are
clocked from the internal oscillator; the primary clock is
shut down. This mode provides the best power conservation of all the Run modes while still executing code.
It works well for user applications, which are not highly
timing-sensitive or do not require high-speed clocks at
all times.
This mode is entered by setting the SCS<1:0> bits
(OSCCON<1:0>) to ‘11’. When the clock source is
switched to the internal oscillator block (see
Figure 4-3), the primary oscillator is shut down and the
OSTS bit is cleared.

4.3
When a wake event occurs in Sleep mode (by interrupt,
Reset or WDT time-out), the device will not be clocked
until the clock source selected by the SCS<1:0> bits
becomes ready (see Figure 4-6), or it will be clocked
from the internal oscillator if either the Two-Speed
Start-up or the FSCM is enabled (see Section 26.0
“Special Features of the CPU”). In either case, the
OSTS bit is set when the primary clock is providing the
device clocks. The IDLEN and SCS bits are not
affected by the wake-up.
Sleep Mode
The power-managed Sleep mode is identical to the
legacy Sleep mode offered in all other PIC devices. It is
entered by clearing the IDLEN bit (the default state on
device Reset) and executing the SLEEP instruction.
This shuts down the selected oscillator (Figure 4-5). All
clock source status bits are cleared.
Entering the Sleep mode from any other mode does not
require a clock switch. This is because no clocks are
needed once the controller has entered Sleep mode. If
the WDT is selected, the INTRC source will continue to
operate. If the Timer1 oscillator is enabled, it will also
continue to run.

4.4
Idle Modes
The Idle modes allow the controller’s CPU to be
selectively shut down while the peripherals continue to
operate. Selecting a particular Idle mode allows users
to further manage power consumption.
If the IDLEN bit is set to ‘1’ when a SLEEP instruction is
executed, the peripherals will be clocked from the clock
source selected using the SCS<1:0> bits; however, the
CPU will not be clocked. The clock source status bits are
not affected. Setting IDLEN and executing a SLEEP
instruction provides a quick method of switching from a
given Run mode to its corresponding Idle mode.
If the WDT is selected, the INTRC source will continue
to operate. If the Timer1 oscillator is enabled, it will also
continue to run.
Since the CPU is not executing instructions, the only
exits from any of the Idle modes are by interrupt, WDT
time-out or a Reset. When the CPU begins executing
code, it resumes with the same clock source for the
current Idle mode. For example, when waking from
RC_IDLE mode, the internal oscillator block will clock
the CPU and peripherals (in other words, RC_RUN
mode). The IDLEN and SCS bits are not affected by the
wake-up.
While in any Idle or Sleep mode, a WDT time-out will
result in a WDT wake-up to the Run mode currently
specified by the SCS<1:0> bits.
4.4.1
PRI_IDLE MODE
This mode is unique among the three low-power Idle
modes, in that it does not disable the primary device
clock. For timing-sensitive applications, this allows for
the fastest resumption of device operation with its more
accurate primary clock source, since the clock source
does not have to “warm up” or transition from another
oscillator.
execution starts. This is required to allow the CPU to
become ready to execute instructions. After the
wake-up, the OSTS bit remains set. The IDLEN and
SCS bits are not affected by the wake-up (see
Figure 4-8).
4.4.2
SEC_IDLE MODE
In SEC_IDLE mode, the CPU is disabled but the
peripherals continue to be clocked from the Timer1
oscillator. This mode is entered from SEC_RUN by setting the IDLEN bit and executing a SLEEP instruction. If
the device is in another Run mode, set IDLEN first, then
set SCS<1:0> to ‘01’ and execute SLEEP. When the
clock source is switched to the Timer1 oscillator, the
primary oscillator is shut down, the OSTS bit is cleared
and the T1RUN bit is set.
When a wake event occurs, the peripherals continue to
be clocked from the Timer1 oscillator. After the wake
event, the CPU begins executing code being clocked
by the Timer1 oscillator. The IDLEN and SCS bits are
not affected by the wake-up; the Timer1 oscillator continues to run (see Figure 4-8).
Note:
The Timer1 oscillator should already be
running prior to entering SEC_IDLE
mode. If the T1OSCEN bit is not set when
the SLEEP instruction is executed, the
SLEEP instruction will be ignored and
entry to SEC_IDLE mode will not occur. If
the Timer1 oscillator is enabled, but not
yet running, peripheral clocks will be
delayed until the oscillator has started. In
such situations, initial oscillator operation
is far from stable and unpredictable operation may result.
PRI_IDLE mode is entered from PRI_RUN mode by
setting the IDLEN bit and executing a SLEEP instruction. If the device is in another Run mode, set IDLEN
first, then set the SCS bits to ‘00’ and execute SLEEP.
Although the CPU is disabled, the peripherals continue
to be clocked from the primary clock source specified
by the FOSC<1:0> Configuration bits. The OSTS bit
remains set (see Figure 4-7).
When a wake event occurs, the CPU is clocked from the
primary clock source. A delay of interval, TCSD, is
required between the wake event and when code

RC_IDLE MODE
In RC_IDLE mode, the CPU is disabled but the
peripherals continue to be clocked from the internal
oscillator block. This mode allows for controllable
power conservation during Idle periods.
From RC_RUN, this mode is entered by setting the
IDLEN bit and executing a SLEEP instruction. If the
device is in another Run mode, first set IDLEN, then
clear the SCS bits and execute SLEEP. When the clock
source is switched to the INTOSC block, the primary
oscillator is shut down and the OSTS bit is cleared.
When a wake event occurs, the peripherals continue to
be clocked from the internal oscillator block. After the
wake event, the CPU begins executing code being
clocked by the INTRC. The IDLEN and SCS bits are not
affected by the wake-up. The INTRC source will continue to run if either the WDT or the FSCM is enabled.
4.5
EXIT BY INTERRUPT
Any of the available interrupt sources can cause the
device to exit from an Idle mode, or the Sleep mode, to
a Run mode. To enable this functionality, an interrupt
source must be enabled by setting its enable bit in one
of the INTCON or PIE registers. The exit sequence is
initiated when the corresponding interrupt flag bit is set.
On all exits from Idle or Sleep modes by interrupt, code
execution branches to the interrupt vector if the
GIE/GIEH bit (INTCON<7>) is set. Otherwise, code
execution continues or resumes without branching
(see Section 9.0 “Interrupts”).
4.5.2
The WDT and postscaler are cleared by one of the
following events:
• Executing a SLEEP or CLRWDT instruction
• The loss of a currently selected clock source (if
the FSCM is enabled)
4.5.3
EXIT BY WDT TIME-OUT
A WDT time-out will cause different actions depending
on which power-managed mode the device is in when
the time-out occurs.
DS39932D-page 54
EXIT BY RESET
Exiting an Idle or Sleep mode by Reset automatically
forces the device to run from the INTRC.
4.5.4
Exiting Idle and Sleep Modes
An exit from Sleep mode, or any of the Idle modes, is
triggered by an interrupt, a Reset or a WDT time-out.
This section discusses the triggers that cause exits
from power-managed modes. The clocking subsystem
actions are discussed in each of the power-managed
modes sections (see Section 4.2 “Run Modes”,
Section 4.3 “Sleep Mode” and Section 4.4 “Idle
Modes”).
4.5.1
If the device is not executing code (all Idle modes and
Sleep mode), the time-out will result in an exit from the
power-managed mode (see Section 4.2 “Run
Modes” and Section 4.3 “Sleep Mode”). If the device
is executing code (all Run modes), the time-out will
result in a WDT Reset (see Section 26.2 “Watchdog
Timer (WDT)”).
EXIT WITHOUT AN OSCILLATOR
START-UP DELAY
Certain exits from power-managed modes do not
invoke the OST at all. There are two cases:
• PRI_IDLE mode (where the primary clock source
is not stopped) and the primary clock source is
the EC mode
• PRI_IDLE mode and the primary clock source is
the ECPLL mode
In these instances, the primary clock source either does
not require an oscillator start-up delay, since it is already
running (PRI_IDLE), or normally does not require an
oscillator start-up delay (EC).
4.6
Deep Sleep Mode
Deep Sleep mode brings the device into its lowest
power consumption state without requiring the use of
external switches to remove power from the device.
During deep sleep, the on-chip VDDCORE voltage
regulator is powered down, effectively disconnecting
power to the core logic of the microcontroller.
Note:
Since Deep Sleep mode powers down the
microcontroller by turning off the on-chip
VDDCORE voltage regulator, Deep Sleep
capability is available only on PIC18FXXJ
members in the device family. The on-chip
voltage regulator is not available in
PIC18LFXXJ members of the device
family, and therefore, they do not support
Deep Sleep.
 2011 Microchip Technology Inc.
PIC18F46J11 FAMILY
On devices that support it, the Deep Sleep mode is
entered by:
• Setting the REGSLP (WDTCON<7>) bit (the
default state on device Reset)
• Clearing the IDLEN bit (the default state on device
Reset)
• Setting the DSEN bit (DSCONH<7>)
• Executing the SLEEP instruction immediately after
setting DSEN (no delay in between)
In order to minimize the possibility of inadvertently entering Deep Sleep, the DSEN bit is cleared in hardware
two instruction cycles after having been set. Therefore,
in order to enter Deep Sleep, the SLEEP instruction must
be executed in the immediate instruction cycle after setting DSEN. If DSEN is not set when Sleep is executed,
the device will enter conventional Sleep mode instead.
During Deep Sleep, the core logic circuitry of the
microcontroller is powered down to reduce leakage
current. Therefore, most peripherals and functions of
the microcontroller become unavailable during Deep
Sleep. However, a few specific peripherals and functions are powered directly from the VDD supply rail of
the microcontroller, and therefore, can continue to
function in Deep Sleep.
Entering Deep Sleep mode clears the DSWAKEL register. However, if the Real-Time Clock and Calendar
(RTCC) is enabled prior to entering Deep Sleep, it will
continue to operate uninterrupted.
The device has dedicated low-power Brown-out Reset
(DSBOR) and Watchdog Timer Reset (DSWDT) for
monitoring voltage and time-out events in Deep Sleep.
The DSBOR and DSWDT are independent of the standard BOR and WDT used with other power-managed
modes (Run, Idle and Sleep).
When a wake event occurs in Deep Sleep mode (by
MCLR Reset, RTCC alarm, INT0 interrupt, ULPWU or
DSWDT), the device will exit Deep Sleep mode and
perform a Power-on Reset (POR). When the device is
released from Reset, code execution will resume at the
device’s Reset vector.
4.6.1
PREPARING FOR DEEP SLEEP
Because VDDCORE could fall below the SRAM retention
voltage while in Deep Sleep mode, SRAM data could
be lost in Deep Sleep. Exiting Deep Sleep mode
causes a POR; as a result, most Special Function
Registers will reset to their default POR values.
4.6.2
I/O PINS DURING DEEP SLEEP
During Deep Sleep, the general purpose I/O pins will
retain their previous states.
Pins that are configured as inputs (TRIS bit set) prior to
entry into Deep Sleep will remain high-impedance
during Deep Sleep.
Pins that are configured as outputs (TRIS bit clear)
prior to entry into Deep Sleep will remain as output pins
during Deep Sleep. While in this mode, they will drive
the output level determined by their corresponding LAT
bit at the time of entry into Deep Sleep.
When the device wakes back up, the I/O pin behavior
depends on the type of wake-up source.
If the device wakes back up by an RTCC alarm, INT0
interrupt, DSWDT or ULPWU event, all I/O pins will
continue to maintain their previous states, even after the
device has finished the POR sequence and is executing
application code again. Pins configured as inputs during
Deep Sleep will remain high-impedance, and pins configured as outputs will continue to drive their previous
value.
After waking up, the TRIS and LAT registers will be
reset, but the I/O pins will still maintain their previous
states. If firmware modifies the TRIS and LAT values for
the I/O pins, they will not immediately go to the newly
configured states. Once the firmware clears the
RELEASE bit (DSCONL<0>), the I/O pins will be
“released”. This causes the I/O pins to take the states
configured by their respective TRIS and LAT bit values.
If the Deep Sleep BOR (DSBOR) circuit is enabled, and
VDD drops below the DSBOR and VDD rail POR thresholds, the I/O pins will be immediately released similar to
clearing the RELEASE bit. All previous state information will be lost, including the general purpose DSGPR0
and DSGPR1 contents. See Section 4.6.5 “Deep
Sleep Brown Out Reset (DSBOR)” for additional
details about this scenario.
If a MCLR Reset event occurs during Deep Sleep, the I/O
pins will also be released automatically, but in this case,
the DSGPR0 and DSGPR1 contents will remain valid.
In all other Deep Sleep wake-up cases, application
firmware needs to clear the RELEASE bit in order to
reconfigure the I/O pins.
Applications needing to save a small amount of data
throughout a Deep Sleep cycle can save the data to the
general purpose DSGPR0 and DSGPR1 registers. The
contents of these registers are preserved while the
device is in Deep Sleep, and will remain valid throughout
an entire Deep Sleep entry and wake-up sequence.

DS39932D-page 55
PIC18F46J11 FAMILY
4.6.3
DEEP SLEEP WAKE-UP SOURCES
While in Deep Sleep mode, the device can be awakened
by a MCLR, POR, RTCC, INT0 I/O pin interrupt,
DSWDT or ULPWU event. After waking, the device performs a POR. When the device is released from Reset,
code execution will begin at the device’s Reset vector.
The software can determine if the wake-up was caused
from an exit from Deep Sleep mode by reading the DS
bit (WDTCON<3>). If this bit is set, the POR was
caused by a Deep Sleep exit. The DS bit must be
manually cleared by the software.
The software can determine the wake event source by
reading the DSWAKEH and DSWAKEL registers.
When the application firmware is done using the
DSWAKEH and DSWAKEL status registers, individual
bits do not need to be manually cleared before entering
Deep Sleep again. When entering Deep Sleep mode,
these registers are automatically cleared.
4.6.3.1
Wake-up Event Considerations
Deep Sleep wake-up events are only monitored while
the processor is fully in Deep Sleep mode. If a wake-up
event occurs before Deep Sleep mode is entered, the
event status will not be reflected in the DSWAKE registers. If the wake-up source asserts prior to entering
Deep Sleep, the CPU may go to the interrupt vector (if
the wake source has an interrupt bit and the interrupt is
fully enabled), and may abort the Deep Sleep entry
sequence by executing past the SLEEP instruction. In
this case, a wake-up event handler should be placed
after the SLEEP instruction to process the event and
re-attempt entry into Deep Sleep if desired.
When the device is in Deep Sleep with more than one
wake-up source simultaneously enabled, only the first
wake-up source to assert will be detected and logged
in the DSWAKEH/DSWAKEL status registers.
DS39932D-page 56
4.6.4
DEEP SLEEP WATCHDOG TIMER
(DSWDT)
Deep Sleep has its own dedicated WDT (DSWDT) with
a postscaler for time-outs of 2.1 ms to 25.7 days,
configurable through the bits, DSWDTPS<3:0>
(CONFIG3L<7:4>).
The DSWDT can be clocked from either the INTRC or
the T1OSC/T1CKI input. If the T1OSC/T1CKI source will
be used with a crystal, the T1OSCEN bit in the T1CON
register needs to be set prior to entering Deep Sleep.
The reference clock source is configured through the
DSWDTOSC bit (CONFIG3L<0>).
DSWDT is enabled through the DSWDTEN bit
(CONFIG3L<3>). Entering Deep Sleep mode automatically clears the DSWDT. See Section 26.0 “Special
Features of the CPU” for more information.
4.6.5
DEEP SLEEP BROWN OUT RESET
(DSBOR)
The Deep Sleep module contains a dedicated Deep
Sleep BOR (DSBOR) circuit. This circuit may be
optionally enabled through the DSBOREN Configuration
bit (CONFIG3L<2>).
The DSBOR circuit monitors the VDD supply rail
voltage. The behavior of the DSBOR circuit is
described in Section 5.4 “Brown-out Reset (BOR)”.
4.6.6
RTCC PERIPHERAL AND DEEP
SLEEP
The RTCC can operate uninterrupted during Deep
Sleep mode. It can wake the device from Deep Sleep by
configuring an alarm.
The RTCC clock source is configured with the RTCOSC
bit (CONFIG3L<1>). The available reference clock
sources are the INTRC and T1OSC/T1CKI. If the INTRC
is used, the RTCC accuracy will directly depend on the
INTRC tolerance. For more information on configuring
the RTCC peripheral, see Section 17.0 “Real-Time
Clock and Calendar (RTCC)”.

4.6.8
DEEP SLEEP FAULT DETECTION
If during Deep Sleep the device is subjected to unusual
operating conditions, such as an Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) event, it is possible that the internal
circuit states used by the Deep Sleep module could
become corrupted. If this were to happen, the device
may exhibit unexpected behavior, such as a failure to
wake back up.
In order to prevent this type of scenario from occurring,
the Deep Sleep module includes automatic
self-monitoring capability. During Deep Sleep, critical
internal nodes are continuously monitored in order to
detect possible Fault conditions (which would not
ordinarily occur). If a Fault condition is detected, the
circuitry will set the DSFLT status bit (DSWAKEL<7>)
and automatically wake the microcontroller from Deep
Sleep, causing a POR Reset.
During Deep Sleep, the Fault detection circuitry is
always enabled and does not require any specific
configuration prior to entering Deep Sleep.
Note 1: DSWDT and DSBOR are enabled
through the devices’ Configuration bits.
For more information, see Section 26.1
“Configuration Bits”.
2: The DSWDT and RTCC clock sources
are selected through the devices’ Configuration bits. For more information, see

Ultra Low-Power Wake-up
The Ultra Low-Power Wake-up (ULPWU) on RA0 allows
a slow falling voltage to generate an interrupt without
excess current consumption.
See Example 4-1 for initializing the ULPWU module.
Note:
Follow these steps to use this feature:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
Configure a remappable output pin to output the
ULPOUT signal.
Map an INTx interrupt-on-change input function
to the same pin as used for the ULPOUT output
function. Alternatively, in step 1, configure
ULPOUT to output onto a PORTB
interrupt-on-change pin.
Charge the capacitor on RA0 by configuring the
RA0 pin to an output and setting it to ‘1’.
Enable interrupt for the corresponding pin
selected in step 2.
Stop charging the capacitor by configuring RA0
as an input.
Discharge the capacitor by setting the ULPEN
and ULPSINK bits in the WDTCON register.
Configure Sleep mode.
Enter Sleep mode.
When the voltage on RA0 drops below VIL, an interrupt
will be generated, which will cause the device to
wake-up and execute the next instruction.
This feature provides a low-power technique for
periodically waking up the device from Sleep mode.
The time-out is dependent on the discharge time of the
RC circuit on RA0.
When the ULPWU module causes the device to
wake-up from Sleep mode, the WDTCON<ULPLVL>
bit is set. When the ULPWU module causes the device
to wake-up from Deep Sleep, the DSULP
(DSWAKEL<5>) bit is set. Software can check these
bits upon wake-up to determine the wake-up source.
Also in Sleep mode, only the remappable output function, ULPWU, will output this bit value to an RPn pin for
externally detecting wake-up events.
 2011 Microchip Technology Inc.
For module-related bit definitions, see the
WDTCON register in Section 26.2
“Watchdog Timer (WDT)” and the
DSWAKEL register (Register 4-6).
A series resistor between RA0 and the external
capacitor provides overcurrent protection for the
RA0/AN0/C1INA/ULPWU/RP0 pin and can allow for
software calibration of the time-out (see Figure 4-9).
FIGURE 4-9:
RA0
SERIAL RESISTOR

C1
A timer can be used to measure the charge time and
discharge time of the capacitor. The charge time can
then be adjusted to provide the desired interrupt delay.
This technique will compensate for the affects of
temperature, voltage and component accuracy. The
peripheral can also be configured as a simple Programmable Low-Voltage Detect (LVD) or temperature
sensor.

5.1
RCON Register
Device Reset events are tracked through the RCON
register (Register 5-1). The lower five bits of the register
indicate that a specific Reset event has occurred. In
most cases, these bits can only be set by the event and
must be cleared by the application after the event. The
state of these flag bits, taken together, can be read to
indicate the type of Reset that just occurred. This is
described in more detail in Section 5.7 “Reset State of
Registers”.
The ECON register also has a control bit for setting
interrupt priority (IPEN). Interrupt priority is discussed
in Section 9.0 “Interrupts”.

5.2
Master Clear (MCLR)
The Master Clear Reset (MCLR) pin provides a method
for triggering a hard external Reset of the device. A
Reset is generated by holding the pin low. PIC18
extended microcontroller devices have a noise filter in
the MCLR Reset path, which detects and ignores small
pulses.
The MCLR pin is not driven low by any internal Resets,
including the WDT.
5.3
Power-on Reset (POR)
A POR condition is generated on-chip whenever VDD
rises above a certain threshold. This allows the device
to start in the initialized state when VDD is adequate for
operation.
To take advantage of the POR circuitry, tie the MCLR
pin through a resistor (1 k to 10 k) to VDD. This will
eliminate external RC components usually needed to
create a POR delay.
When the device starts normal operation (i.e., exits the
Reset condition), device operating parameters
(voltage, frequency, temperature, etc.) must be met to
ensure operation. If these conditions are not met, the
device must be held in Reset until the operating
conditions are met.
POR events are captured by the POR bit (RCON<1>).
The state of the bit is set to ‘0’ whenever a Power-on
Reset occurs; it does not change for any other Reset
event. POR is not reset to ‘1’ by any hardware event.
To capture multiple events, the user manually resets
the bit to ‘1’ in software following any POR.
5.4
Brown-out Reset (BOR)
“F” devices incorporate two types of BOR circuits: one
which monitors VDDCORE and one which monitors VDD.
Only one BOR circuit can be active at a time. When in
normal Run mode, Idle or normal Sleep modes, the
BOR circuit that monitors VDDCORE is active and will
cause the device to be held in BOR if VDDCORE drops
below VBOR (parameter D005). Once VDDCORE rises
back above VBOR, the device will be held in Reset until
the expiration of the Power-up Timer, with period,
TPWRT (parameter 33).
Additionally, if any I/O pins had been configured as outputs during Deep Sleep, these pins will be tri-stated
and the device will no longer be held in Deep Sleep.
Once the VDD voltage recovers back above the
VDSBOR threshold, and once the core voltage regulator
achieves a VDDCORE voltage above VBOR, the device
will begin executing code again normally, but the DS bit
in the WDTCON register will not be set. The device
behavior will be similar to hard cycling all power to the
device.
On “LF” devices, the VDDCORE BOR circuit is always
disabled because the internal core voltage regulator is
disabled. Instead of monitoring VDDCORE, PIC18LF
devices in this family can use the VDD BOR circuit to
monitor VDD excursions below the VDSBOR threshold.
The VDD BOR circuit can be disabled by setting the
DSBOREN bit = 0.
The VDD BOR circuit is enabled when DSBOREN = 1
on “LF” devices, or on “F” devices while in Deep Sleep
with DSBOREN = 1. When enabled, the VDD BOR
circuit is extremely low power (typ. 40 nA) during normal operation above ~2.3V on VDD. If VDD drops below
this DSBOR arming level when the VDD BOR circuit is
enabled, the device may begin to consume additional
current (typ. 50 A) as internal features of the circuit
power up. The higher current is necessary to achieve
more accurate sensing of the VDD level. However, the
device will not enter Reset until VDD falls below the
VDSBOR threshold.
5.4.1
DETECTING BOR
The BOR bit always resets to ‘0’ on any VDDCORE, BOR
or POR event. This makes it difficult to determine if a
Brown-out Reset event has occurred just by reading
the state of BOR alone. A more reliable method is to
simultaneously check the state of both POR and BOR.
This assumes that the POR bit is reset to ‘1’ in software
immediately after any Power-on Reset event. If BOR is
‘0’ while POR is ‘1’, it can be reliably assumed that a
Brown-out Reset event has occurred.
If the voltage regulator is disabled (LF devices), the
VDDCORE BOR functionality is disabled. In this case,
the BOR bit cannot be used to determine a Brown-out
Reset event. The BOR bit is still cleared by a Power-on
Reset event.
During Deep Sleep operation, the on-chip core voltage
regulator is disabled and VDDCORE is allowed to drop to
ground levels. If the Deep Sleep BOR circuit is enabled
by the DSBOREN Configuration bit (CONFIG3L<2> = 1),
it will monitor VDD. If VDD drops below the VDSBOR
threshold, the device will be held in a Reset state
similar to POR. All registers will be set back to their POR
Reset values and the contents of the DSGPR0 and
DSGPR1 holding registers will be lost.

5.5
Configuration Mismatch (CM)
5.6
The Configuration Mismatch (CM) Reset is designed to
detect, and attempt to recover from, random memory
corrupting events. These include Electrostatic
Discharge (ESD) events, which can cause widespread
single bit changes throughout the device and result in
catastrophic failure.
In PIC18FXXJ Flash devices, the device Configuration
registers (located in the configuration memory space)
are continuously monitored during operation by comparing their values to complimentary shadow registers.
If a mismatch is detected between the two sets of
registers, a CM Reset automatically occurs. These
events are captured by the CM bit (RCON<5>). The
state of the bit is set to ‘0’ whenever a CM event occurs;
it does not change for any other Reset event.
A CM Reset behaves similarly to a MCLR, RESET
instruction, WDT time-out or Stack Event Resets. As
with all hard and power Reset events, the device
Configuration Words are reloaded from the Flash
Configuration Words in program memory as the device
restarts.
FIGURE 5-2:
Power-up Timer (PWRT)
PIC18F46J11 family devices incorporate an on-chip
PWRT to help regulate the POR process. The PWRT is
always enabled. The main function is to ensure that the
device voltage is stable before code is executed.
The Power-up Timer (PWRT) of the PIC18F46J11 family
devices is a 5-bit counter which uses the INTRC source
as the clock input. This yields an approximate time
interval of 32 x 32 s = 1 ms. While the PWRT is
counting, the device is held in Reset.
The power-up time delay depends on the INTRC clock
and will vary from chip-to-chip due to temperature and
process variation. See DC parameter 33 (TPWRT) for
details.
5.6.1
TIME-OUT SEQUENCE
The PWRT time-out is invoked after the POR pulse has
cleared. The total time-out will vary based on the status
of the PWRT. Figure 5-2, Figure 5-3, Figure 5-4 and
Figure 5-5 all depict time-out sequences on power-up
with the PWRT.
Since the time-outs occur from the POR pulse, if MCLR
is kept low long enough, the PWRT will expire. Bringing
MCLR high will begin execution immediately if a clock
source is available (Figure 5-4). This is useful for
testing purposes, or to synchronize more than one
PIC18FXXXX device operating in parallel.

TO, PD, POR and BOR) are set or cleared differently in
different Reset situations, as indicated in Table 5-1.
These bits are used in software to determine the nature
of the Reset.
Reset State of Registers
Most registers are unaffected by a Reset. Their status
is unknown on POR and unchanged by all other
Resets. The other registers are forced to a “Reset
state” depending on the type of Reset that occurred.
Table 5-2 describes the Reset states for all of the
Special Function Registers. These are categorized by
POR and BOR, MCLR and WDT Resets, and WDT
wake-ups.
Most registers are not affected by a WDT wake-up,
since this is viewed as the resumption of normal
operation. Status bits from the RCON register (CM, RI,

Legend: u = unchanged, x = unknown, - = unimplemented bit, read as ‘0’, q = value depends on condition.
Note 1: When the wake-up is due to an interrupt and the GIEL or GIEH bit is set, the TOSU, TOSH and TOSL are
updated with the current value of the PC. The STKPTR is modified to point to the next location in the
hardware stack.
2: When the wake-up is due to an interrupt and the GIEL or GIEH bit is set, the PC is loaded with the
interrupt vector (0008h or 0018h).
3: One or more bits in the INTCONx or PIRx registers will be affected (to cause wake-up).
4: See Table 5-1 for Reset value for specific condition.

MEMORY ORGANIZATION
There are two types of memory in PIC18 Flash
microcontrollers:
• Program Memory
• Data RAM
As Harvard architecture devices, the data and program
memories use separate busses; this allows for
concurrent access of the two memory spaces.
Section 7.0 “Flash Program Memory” provides
additional information on the operation of the Flash
program memory.
FIGURE 6-1:
6.1
Program Memory Organization
PIC18 microcontrollers implement a 21-bit program
counter, which is capable of addressing a 2-Mbyte
program memory space. Accessing a location between
the upper boundary of the physically implemented
memory and the 2-Mbyte address returns all ‘0’s (a
NOP instruction).
The PIC18F46J11 family offers a range of on-chip
Flash program memory sizes, from 16 Kbytes (up to
8,192 single-word instructions) to 64 Kbytes
(32,768 single-word instructions).
Figure 6-1 provides the program memory maps for
individual family devices.

HARD MEMORY VECTORS
6.1.2
FLASH CONFIGURATION WORDS
All PIC18 devices have a total of three hard-coded
return vectors in their program memory space. The
Reset vector address is the default value to which the
program counter returns on all device Resets; it is
located at 0000h.
Because PIC18F46J11 family devices do not have
persistent configuration memory, the top four words of
on-chip program memory are reserved for configuration
information. On Reset, the configuration information is
copied into the Configuration registers.
PIC18 devices also have two interrupt vector
addresses for handling high-priority and low-priority
interrupts. The high-priority interrupt vector is located at
0008h and the low-priority interrupt vector at 0018h.
Figure 6-2 provides their locations in relation to the
program memory map.
The Configuration Words are stored in their program
memory location in numerical order, starting with the
lower byte of CONFIG1 at the lowest address and
ending with the upper byte of CONFIG4.

6.1.3
PROGRAM COUNTER
The Program Counter (PC) specifies the address of the
instruction to fetch for execution. The PC is 21 bits wide
and is contained in three separate 8-bit registers. The
low byte, known as the PCL register, is both readable
and writable. The high byte, or PCH register, contains
the PC<15:8> bits; it is not directly readable or writable.
Updates to the PCH register are performed through the
PCLATH register. The upper byte is called PCU. This
register contains the PC<20:16> bits; it is also not
directly readable or writable. Updates to the PCU
register are performed through the PCLATU register.
The contents of PCLATH and PCLATU are transferred
to the program counter by any operation that writes to
PCL. Similarly, the upper 2 bytes of the program
counter are transferred to PCLATH and PCLATU by an
operation that reads PCL. This is useful for computed
offsets to the PC (see Section 6.1.6.1 “Computed
GOTO”).
The PC addresses bytes in the program memory. To
prevent the PC from becoming misaligned with word
instructions, the Least Significant bit (LSb) of PCL is
fixed to a value of ‘0’. The PC increments by two to
address sequential instructions in the program
memory.
The CALL, RCALL, GOTO and program branch
instructions write to the program counter directly. For
these instructions, the contents of PCLATH and
PCLATU are not transferred to the program counter.
6.1.4
RETURN ADDRESS STACK
The return address stack allows any combination of up
to 31 program calls and interrupts to occur. The PC is
pushed onto the stack when a CALL or RCALL instruction is executed, or an interrupt is Acknowledged. The
PC value is pulled off the stack on a RETURN, RETLW
or a RETFIE instruction (and on ADDULNK and
SUBULNK instructions if the extended instruction set is
enabled). PCLATU and PCLATH are not affected by
any of the RETURN or CALL instructions.
FIGURE 6-3:
The stack operates as a 31-word by 21-bit RAM and a
5-bit Stack Pointer (SP), STKPTR. The stack space is
not part of either program or data space. The Stack
Pointer is readable and writable, and the address on
the top of the stack is readable and writable through the
Top-of-Stack Special Function Registers (SFRs). Data
can also be pushed to, or popped from, the stack using
these registers.
A CALL type instruction causes a push onto the stack.
The Stack Pointer is first incremented and the location
pointed to by the Stack Pointer is written with the
contents of the PC (already pointing to the instruction
following the CALL). A RETURN type instruction causes
a pop from the stack. The contents of the location
pointed to by the STKPTR are transferred to the PC
and then the Stack Pointer is decremented.
The Stack Pointer is initialized to ‘00000’ after all
Resets. There is no RAM associated with the location
corresponding to a Stack Pointer value of ‘00000’; this
is only a Reset value. Status bits indicate if the stack is
full, has overflowed or has underflowed.
6.1.4.1
Top-of-Stack Access
Only the top of the return address stack (TOS) is readable and writable. A set of three registers,
TOSU:TOSH:TOSL, holds the contents of the stack
location pointed to by the STKPTR register
(Figure 6-3). This allows users to implement a software
stack if necessary. After a CALL, RCALL or interrupt
(and ADDULNK and SUBULNK instructions if the
extended instruction set is enabled), the software can
read
the
pushed
value
by
reading
the
TOSU:TOSH:TOSL registers. These values can be
placed on a user-defined software stack. At return time,
the software can return these values to
TOSU:TOSH:TOSL and do a return.
The user must disable the Global Interrupt Enable
(GIE) bits while accessing the stack to prevent inadvertent stack corruption.

6.1.4.2
Return Stack Pointer (STKPTR)
The STKPTR register (Register 6-1) contains the Stack
Pointer value, the STKFUL (Stack Full) and the
STKUNF (Stack Underflow) status bits. The value of
the Stack Pointer can be 0 through 31. The Stack
Pointer increments before values are pushed onto the
stack and decrements after values are popped off the
stack. On Reset, the Stack Pointer value will be zero.
The user may read and write the Stack Pointer value.
This feature can be used by a Real-Time Operating
System (RTOS) for return stack maintenance.
After the PC is pushed onto the stack 31 times (without
popping any values off the stack), the STKFUL bit is
set. The STKFUL bit is cleared by software or by a
Power-on Reset (POR).
The action that takes place when the stack becomes
full depends on the state of the Stack Overflow Reset
Enable (STVREN) Configuration bit.
Refer to Section 26.1 “Configuration Bits” for device
Configuration bits’ description.
If STVREN is set (default), the 31st push will push the
(PC + 2) value onto the stack, set the STKFUL bit and
reset the device. The STKFUL bit will remain set and
the Stack Pointer will be set to zero.
If STVREN is cleared, the STKFUL bit will be set on the
31st push and the Stack Pointer will increment to 31.
Any additional pushes will not overwrite the 31st push
and the STKPTR will remain at 31.
REGISTER 6-1:
When the stack has been popped enough times to
unload the stack, the next pop will return zero to the PC
and set the STKUNF bit, while the Stack Pointer
remains at zero. The STKUNF bit will remain set until
cleared by software or until a POR occurs.
Note:
6.1.4.3
Returning a value of zero to the PC on an
underflow has the effect of vectoring the
program to the Reset vector, where the
stack conditions can be verified and
appropriate actions can be taken. This is
not the same as a Reset, as the contents
of the SFRs are not affected.
PUSH and POP Instructions
Since the Top-of-Stack is readable and writable, the
ability to push values onto the stack and pull values off
the stack, without disturbing normal program execution
is necessary. The PIC18 instruction set includes two
instructions, PUSH and POP, that permit the TOS to be
manipulated under software control. TOSU, TOSH and
TOSL can be modified to place data or a return address
on the stack.
The PUSH instruction places the current PC value onto
the stack. This increments the Stack Pointer and loads
the current PC value onto the stack.
The POP instruction discards the current TOS by
decrementing the Stack Pointer. The previous value
pushed onto the stack then becomes the TOS value.

Stack Full and Underflow Resets
Device Resets on stack overflow and stack underflow
conditions are enabled by setting the STVREN bit in
Configuration register 1L. When STVREN is set, a full
or underflow condition sets the appropriate STKFUL or
STKUNF bit and then causes a device Reset. When
STVREN is cleared, a full or underflow condition sets
the appropriate STKFUL or STKUNF bit, but does not
cause a device Reset. The STKFUL or STKUNF bits
are cleared by the user software or a POR.
6.1.5
FAST REGISTER STACK (FRS)
6.1.6
LOOK-UP TABLES IN PROGRAM
MEMORY
There may be programming situations that require the
creation of data structures or look-up tables in program
memory. For PIC18 devices, look-up tables can be
implemented in two ways:
• Computed GOTO
• Table Reads
6.1.6.1
Computed GOTO
A computed GOTO is accomplished by adding an offset
to the PC. An example is shown in Example 6-2.
A Fast Register Stack (FRS) is provided for the
STATUS, WREG and BSR registers to provide a “fast
return” option for interrupts. This stack is only one level
deep and is neither readable nor writable. It is loaded
with the current value of the corresponding register
when the processor vectors for an interrupt. All interrupt sources push values into the Stack registers. The
values in the registers are then loaded back into the
working registers if the RETFIE, FAST instruction is
used to return from the interrupt.
A look-up table can be formed with an ADDWF PCL
instruction and a group of RETLW nn instructions. The
W register is loaded with an offset into the table before
executing a call to that table. The first instruction of the
called routine is the ADDWF PCL instruction. The next
executed instruction will be one of the RETLW nn
instructions that returns the value ‘nn’ to the calling
function.
If both low-priority and high-priority interrupts are
enabled, the Stack registers cannot be used reliably to
return from low-priority interrupts. If a high-priority
interrupt occurs while servicing a low-priority interrupt,
the Stack register values stored by the low-priority
interrupt will be overwritten. In these cases, users must
save the key registers in software during a low-priority
interrupt.
In this method, only one byte may be stored in each
instruction location; room on the return address stack is
required.
If interrupt priority is not used, all interrupts may use the
FRS for returns from interrupt. If no interrupts are used,
the FRS can be used to restore the STATUS, WREG
and BSR registers at the end of a subroutine call. To
use the Fast Register Stack for a subroutine call, a
CALL label, FAST instruction must be executed to
save the STATUS, WREG and BSR registers to the
Fast Register Stack. A RETURN, FAST instruction is
then executed to restore these registers from the FRS.
Example 6-1 provides a source code example that
uses the FRS during a subroutine call and return.

The offset value (in WREG) specifies the number of
bytes that the PC should advance and should be
multiples of 2 (LSb = 0).

Table Reads
A better method of storing data in program memory
allows two bytes to be stored in each instruction
location.
Look-up table data may be stored two bytes per
program word while programming. The Table Pointer
(TBLPTR) specifies the byte address and the Table
Latch (TABLAT) contains the data that is read from the
program memory. Data is transferred from program
memory one byte at a time.
Table read operation is discussed further

6.2.2
PIC18 Instruction Cycle
6.2.1
An “Instruction Cycle” consists of four Q cycles, Q1
through Q4. The instruction fetch and execute are pipelined in such a manner that a fetch takes one instruction
cycle, while the decode and execute take another
instruction cycle. However, due to the pipelining, each
instruction effectively executes in one cycle. If an
instruction causes the PC to change (e.g., GOTO), then
two cycles are required to complete the instruction
(Example 6-3).
CLOCKING SCHEME
The microcontroller clock input, whether from an
internal or external source, is internally divided by ‘4’ to
generate four non-overlapping quadrature clocks (Q1,
Q2, Q3 and Q4). Internally, the PC is incremented on
every Q1; the instruction is fetched from the program
memory and latched into the Instruction Register (IR)
during Q4. The instruction is decoded and executed
during the following Q1 through Q4. Figure 6-4
illustrates the clocks and instruction execution flow.
FIGURE 6-4:
INSTRUCTION FLOW/PIPELINING
A fetch cycle begins with the PC incrementing in Q1.
In the execution cycle, the fetched instruction is latched
into the IR in cycle Q1. This instruction is then decoded
and executed during the Q2, Q3 and Q4 cycles. Data
memory is read during Q2 (operand read) and written
during Q4 (destination write).

6.2.3
INSTRUCTIONS IN PROGRAM
MEMORY
The program memory is addressed in bytes. Instructions are stored as 2 bytes or 4 bytes in program
memory. The Least Significant Byte (LSB) of an
instruction word is always stored in a program memory
location with an even address (LSB = 0). To maintain
alignment with instruction boundaries, the PC
increments in steps of 2 and the LSB will always read
‘0’ (see Section 6.1.3 “Program Counter”).
Figure 6-5 provides an example of how instruction
words are stored in the program memory.
FIGURE 6-5:
INSTRUCTIONS IN PROGRAM MEMORY
Program Memory
Byte Locations 
6.2.4
The CALL and GOTO instructions have the absolute
program memory address embedded into the instruction. Since instructions are always stored on word
boundaries, the data contained in the instruction is a
word address. The word address is written to PC<20:1>,
which accesses the desired byte address in program
memory. Instruction #2 in Figure 6-5 displays how the
instruction, GOTO 0006h, is encoded in the program
memory. Program branch instructions, which encode a
relative address offset, operate in the same manner. The
offset value stored in a branch instruction represents the
number of single-word instructions that the PC will be
offset by. Section 27.0 “Instruction Set Summary”
provides further details of the instruction set.

TWO-WORD INSTRUCTIONS
The standard PIC18 instruction set has four two-word
instructions: CALL, MOVFF, GOTO and LSFR. In all
cases, the second word of the instructions always has
‘1111’ as its four Most Significant bits (MSbs); the other
12 bits are literal data, usually a data memory address.
The use of ‘1111’ in the 4 MSbs of an instruction
specifies a special form of NOP. If the instruction is
executed in proper sequence immediately after the first
word, the data in the second word is accessed and

used by the instruction sequence. If the first word is
skipped for some reason, and the second word is
executed by itself, a NOP is executed instead. This is
necessary for cases when the two-word instruction is
preceded by a conditional instruction that changes the
PC. Example 6-4 illustrates how this works.

Data Memory Organization
The operation of some aspects of data
memory is changed when the PIC18
extended instruction set is enabled. See
Section 6.6 “Data Memory and the
Extended Instruction Set” for more
information.
The data memory in PIC18 devices is implemented as
static RAM. Each register in the data memory has a
12-bit address, allowing up to 4096 bytes of data
memory. The memory space is divided into as many as
16 banks that contain 256 bytes each. The
PIC18F46J11 family implements all available banks
and provides 3.8 Kbytes of data memory available to
the user. Figure 6-6 provides the data memory
organization for the devices.
The data memory contains Special Function Registers
(SFRs) and General Purpose Registers (GPRs). The
SFRs are used for control and status of the controller
and peripheral functions, while GPRs are used for data
storage and scratchpad operations in the user’s
application. Any read of an unimplemented location will
read as ‘0’s.
The instruction set and architecture allow operations
across all banks. The entire data memory may be
accessed by Direct, Indirect or Indexed Addressing
modes. Addressing modes are discussed later in this
section.
To ensure that commonly used registers (select SFRs
and select GPRs) can be accessed in a single cycle,
PIC18 devices implement an Access Bank. This is a
256-byte memory space that provides fast access to
select SFRs and the lower portion of GPR Bank 0 without using the BSR. Section 6.3.2 “Access Bank”
provides a detailed description of the Access RAM.
6.3.1
Most instructions in the PIC18 instruction set make use
of the Bank Pointer, known as the Bank Select Register
(BSR). This SFR holds the 4 MSbs of a location’s
address; the instruction itself includes the 8 LSbs. Only
the four lower bits of the BSR are implemented
(BSR<3:0>). The upper four bits are unused; they will
always read ‘0’ and cannot be written to. The BSR can
be loaded directly by using the MOVLB instruction.
The value of the BSR indicates the bank in data
memory. The 8 bits in the instruction show the location
in the bank and can be thought of as an offset from the
bank’s lower boundary. The relationship between the
BSR’s value and the bank division in data memory is
illustrated in Figure 6-7.
Since, up to 16 registers may share the same low-order
address, the user must always be careful to ensure that
the proper bank is selected before performing a data
read or write. For example, writing what should be
program data to an 8-bit address of F9h while the BSR
is 0Fh, will end up resetting the PC.
While any bank can be selected, only those banks that
are actually implemented can be read or written to.
Writes to unimplemented banks are ignored, while
reads from unimplemented banks will return ‘0’s. Even
so, the STATUS register will still be affected as if the
operation was successful. The data memory map in
Figure 6-6 indicates which banks are implemented.
In the core PIC18 instruction set, only the MOVFF
instruction fully specifies the 12-bit address of the
source and target registers. This instruction ignores the
BSR completely when it executes. All other instructions
include only the low-order address as an operand and
must use either the BSR or the Access Bank to locate
their target registers.
BANK SELECT REGISTER
Large areas of data memory require an efficient
addressing scheme to make rapid access to any
address possible. Ideally, this means that an entire
address does not need to be provided for each read or
write operation. For PIC18 devices, this is
accomplished with a RAM banking scheme. This
divides the memory space into 16 contiguous banks of
256 bytes. Depending on the instruction, each location
can be addressed directly by its full 12-bit address, or
an 8-bit low-order address and a 4-bit Bank Pointer.

The Access RAM bit of the instruction can be used to force an override of the selected bank (BSR<3:0>) to
the registers of the Access Bank.
The MOVFF instruction embeds the entire 12-bit address in the instruction.
ACCESS BANK
While the use of the BSR with an embedded 8-bit
address allows users to address the entire range of
data memory, it also means that the user must always
ensure that the correct bank is selected. Otherwise,
data may be read from or written to the wrong location.
This can be disastrous if a GPR is the intended target
of an operation, but an SFR is written to instead.
Verifying and/or changing the BSR for each read or
write to data memory can become very inefficient.
To streamline access for the most commonly used data
memory locations, the data memory is configured with
an Access Bank, which allows users to access a
mapped block of memory without specifying a BSR.
The Access Bank consists of the first 96 bytes of
memory (00h-5Fh) in Bank 0 and the last 160 bytes of
memory (60h-FFh) in Bank 15. The lower half is known
as the Access RAM and is composed of GPRs. The
upper half is where the device’s SFRs are mapped.
These two areas are mapped contiguously in the
Access Bank and can be addressed in a linear fashion
by an 8-bit address (Figure 6-6).
The Access Bank is used by core PIC18 instructions
that include the Access RAM bit (the ‘a’ parameter in
the instruction). When ‘a’ is equal to ‘1’, the instruction
uses the BSR and the 8-bit address included in the
opcode for the data memory address. When ‘a’ is ‘0’,
however, the instruction is forced to use the Access
Bank address map; the current value of the BSR is
ignored entirely.
DS39932D-page 86
Using this “forced” addressing allows the instruction to
operate on a data address in a single cycle without
updating the BSR first. For 8-bit addresses of 60h and
above, this means that users can evaluate and operate
on SFRs more efficiently. The Access RAM below 60h
is a good place for data values that the user might need
to access rapidly, such as immediate computational
results or common program variables. Access RAM
also allows for faster and more code efficient context
saving and switching of variables.
The mapping of the Access Bank is slightly different
when the extended instruction set is enabled (XINST
Configuration bit = 1). This is discussed in more detail
in Section 6.6.3 “Mapping the Access Bank in
Indexed Literal Offset Mode”.
6.3.3
GENERAL PURPOSE
REGISTER FILE
PIC18 devices may have banked memory in the GPR
area. This is data RAM, which is available for use by all
instructions. GPRs start at the bottom of Bank 0
(address 000h) and grow upward toward the bottom of
the SFR area. GPRs are not initialized by a POR and
are unchanged on all other Resets.

6.3.4
SPECIAL FUNCTION REGISTERS
The SFRs are registers used by the CPU and peripheral modules for controlling the desired operation of the
device. These registers are implemented as static
RAM. SFRs start at the top of data memory (FFFh) and
extend downward to occupy more than the top half of
Bank 15 (F40h to FFFh). Table 6-2 and Table 6-3 provide a list of these registers.
ALU’s STATUS register is described later in this section.
Registers related to the operation of the peripheral
features are described in the chapter for that peripheral.
The SFRs are typically distributed among the
peripherals whose functions they control. Unused SFR
locations are unimplemented and read as ‘0’s
Note:
The SFRs can be classified into two sets: those
associated with the “core” device functionality (ALU,
Resets and interrupts) and those related to the
peripheral functions. The Reset and Interrupt registers
are described in their corresponding chapters, while the
TABLE 6-2:
The SFRs located between EC0h and
F5Fh are not part of the Access Bank.
Either banked instructions (using BSR) or
the MOVFF instruction should be used to
access these locations. When programming in MPLAB® C18, the compiler will
automatically use the appropriate
addressing mode.

Context Defined SFRs
There are several registers that share the same
address in the SFR space. The register’s definition and
usage depends on the operating mode of its associated
peripheral. These registers are:
• SSPxADD and SSPxMSK: These are two
separate hardware registers, accessed through a
single SFR address. The operating mode of the
MSSP modules determines which register is
being accessed. See Section 19.5.3.4 “7-Bit
Address Masking Mode” for additional details.
• PMADDRH/L and PMDOUT2H/L: In this case,
these named buffer pairs are actually the same
physical registers. The Parallel Master Port (PMP)
module’s operating mode determines what function the registers take on. See Section 11.1.2
“Data Registers” for additional details.

Indirect Data Memory Address Pointer 2 High Byte
x = unknown, u = unchanged, - = unimplemented, q = value depends on condition, r = reserved. Bold indicates shared access SFRs.
Bit 21 of the PC is only available in Serial Programming (SP) modes.
Reset value is ‘0’ when Two-Speed Start-up is enabled and ‘1’ if disabled.
The SSPxMSK registers are only accessible when SSPxCON2<3:0> = 1001.
Alternate names and definitions for these bits when the MSSP module is operating in I2C™ Slave mode. See Section 19.5.3.2 “Address
Masking Modes” for details.
These bits and/or registers are only available in 44-pin devices; otherwise, they are unimplemented and read as ‘0’. Reset values are shown for
44-pin devices.
The PMADDRH/PMDOUT1H and PMADDRL/PMDOUT1L register pairs share the same physical registers and addresses, but have different
functions determined by the module’s operating mode. See Section 11.1.2 “Data Registers” for more information.

STATUS REGISTER
The STATUS register in Register 6-2, contains the
arithmetic status of the ALU. The STATUS register can
be the operand for any instruction, as with any other
register. If the STATUS register is the destination for an
instruction that affects the Z, DC, C, OV or N bits, then
the write to these five bits is disabled.
These bits are set or cleared according to the device
logic. Therefore, the result of an instruction with the
STATUS register as destination may be different than
intended. For example, CLRF STATUS will set the Z bit
but leave the other bits unchanged. The STATUS
REGISTER 6-2:
U-0
For other instructions not affecting any Status bits, see
the instruction set summary in Table 27-2 and
Table 27-3.
Note:
The C and DC bits operate as a borrow
and digit borrow bits respectively, in
subtraction.

and MOVWF instructions are used to alter the STATUS
register because these instructions do not affect the Z,

Data Addressing Modes
Note:
The execution of some instructions in the
core PIC18 instruction set is changed
when the PIC18 extended instruction set is
enabled. See Section 6.6 “Data Memory
and the Extended Instruction Set” for
more information.
While the program memory can be addressed in only
one way, through the PC, information in the data
memory space can be addressed in several ways. For
most instructions, the addressing mode is fixed. Other
instructions may use up to three modes, depending on
which operands are used and whether or not the
extended instruction set is enabled.
The addressing modes are:
•
•
•
•
Inherent
Literal
Direct
Indirect
An additional addressing mode, Indexed Literal Offset,
is available when the extended instruction set is
enabled (XINST Configuration bit = 1). Its operation is
discussed in more detail in Section 6.6.1 “Indexed
Addressing with Literal Offset”.
6.4.1
INHERENT AND LITERAL
ADDRESSING
Many PIC18 control instructions do not need any
argument at all; they either perform an operation that
globally affects the device, or they operate implicitly on
one register. This addressing mode is known as
Inherent Addressing. Examples include SLEEP, RESET
and DAW.
Other instructions work in a similar way, but require an
additional explicit argument in the opcode. This is
known as Literal Addressing mode, because they
require some literal value as an argument. Examples
include ADDLW and MOVLW, which respectively, add or
move a literal value to the W register. Other examples
include CALL and GOTO, which include a 20-bit
program memory address.
6.4.2
DIRECT ADDRESSING
Direct Addressing specifies all or part of the source
and/or destination address of the operation within the
opcode itself. The options are specified by the
arguments accompanying the instruction.
In the core PIC18 instruction set, bit-oriented and
byte-oriented instructions use some version of Direct
Addressing by default. All of these instructions include
some 8-bit Literal Address as their LSB. This address
specifies either a register address in one of the banks
of data RAM (Section 6.3.3 “General Purpose
 2011 Microchip Technology Inc.
Register File”), or a location in the Access Bank
(Section 6.3.2 “Access Bank”) as the data source for
the instruction.
The Access RAM bit, ‘a’, determines how the address
is interpreted. When ‘a’ is ‘1’, the contents of the BSR
(Section 6.3.1 “Bank Select Register”) are used with
the address to determine the complete 12-bit address
of the register. When ‘a’ is ‘0’, the address is interpreted
as being a register in the Access Bank. Addressing that
uses the Access RAM is sometimes also known as
Direct Forced Addressing mode.
A few instructions, such as MOVFF, include the entire
12-bit address (either source or destination) in their
opcodes. In these cases, the BSR is ignored entirely.
The destination of the operation’s results is determined
by the destination bit, ‘d’. When ‘d’ is ‘1’, the results are
stored back in the source register, overwriting its
original contents. When ‘d’ is ‘0’, the results are stored
in the W register. Instructions without the ‘d’ argument
have a destination that is implicit in the instruction; their
destination is either the target register being operated
on or the W register.
6.4.3
INDIRECT ADDRESSING
Indirect Addressing allows the user to access a location
in data memory without giving a fixed address in the
instruction. This is done by using File Select Registers
(FSRs) as pointers to the locations to be read or written
to. Since the FSRs are themselves located in RAM as
SFRs, they can also be directly manipulated under
program control. This makes FSRs very useful in
implementing data structures such as tables and arrays
in data memory.
The registers for Indirect Addressing are also
implemented with Indirect File Operands (INDFs) that
permit automatic manipulation of the pointer value with
auto-incrementing, auto-decrementing or offsetting
with another value. This allows for efficient code using
loops, such as the example of clearing an entire RAM
bank in Example 6-5. It also enables users to perform
Indexed Addressing and other Stack Pointer
operations for program memory in data memory.

6.4.3.1
FSR Registers and the INDF
Operand (INDF)
SFR space but are not physically implemented. Reading or writing to a particular INDF register actually
accesses its corresponding FSR register pair. A read
from INDF1, for example, reads the data at the address
indicated by FSR1H:FSR1L. Instructions that use the
INDF registers as operands actually use the contents
of their corresponding FSR as a pointer to the instruction’s target. The INDF operand is just a convenient
way of using the pointer.
At the core of Indirect Addressing are three sets of
registers: FSR0, FSR1 and FSR2. Each represents a
pair of 8-bit registers, FSRnH and FSRnL. The four
upper bits of the FSRnH register are not used, so each
FSR pair holds a 12-bit value. This represents a value
that can address the entire range of the data memory
in a linear fashion. The FSR register pairs, then, serve
as pointers to data memory locations.
Because Indirect Addressing uses a full 12-bit address,
data RAM banking is not necessary. Thus, the current
contents of the BSR and the Access RAM bit have no
effect on determining the target address.
Indirect Addressing is accomplished with a set of INDF
operands, INDF0 through INDF2. These can be presumed to be “virtual” registers: they are mapped in the
FIGURE 6-8:

6.4.3.2
FSR Registers and POSTINC,
POSTDEC, PREINC and PLUSW
In addition to the INDF operand, each FSR register pair
also has four additional indirect operands. Like INDF,
these are “virtual” registers that cannot be indirectly
read or written to. Accessing these registers actually
accesses the associated FSR register pair, but also
performs a specific action on its stored value. They are:
• POSTDEC: accesses the FSR value, then
automatically decrements it by ‘1’ thereafter
• POSTINC: accesses the FSR value, then
automatically increments it by ‘1’ thereafter
• PREINC: increments the FSR value by ‘1’, then
uses it in the operation
• PLUSW: adds the signed value of the W register
(range of -128 to 127) to that of the FSR and uses
the new value in the operation
In this context, accessing an INDF register uses the
value in the FSR registers without changing them.
Similarly, accessing a PLUSW register gives the FSR
value offset by the value in the W register; neither value
is actually changed in the operation. Accessing the
other virtual registers changes the value of the FSR
registers.
Operations on the FSRs with POSTDEC, POSTINC
and PREINC affect the entire register pair; that is, rollovers of the FSRnL register from FFh to 00h carry over
to the FSRnH register. On the other hand, results of
these operations do not change the value of any flags
in the STATUS register (e.g., Z, N, OV, etc.).
The PLUSW register can be used to implement a form
of Indexed Addressing in the data memory space. By
manipulating the value in the W register, users can
reach addresses that are fixed offsets from pointer
addresses. In some applications, this can be used to
implement some powerful program control structure,
such as software stacks, inside of data memory.
6.4.3.3
Operations by FSRs on FSRs
Since the FSRs are physical registers mapped in the
SFR space, they can be manipulated through all direct
operations. Users should proceed cautiously when
working on these registers, particularly if their code
uses Indirect Addressing.
Similarly, operations by Indirect Addressing are generally permitted on all other SFRs. Users should exercise
appropriate caution that they do not inadvertently
change settings that might affect the operation of the
device.
6.5
Program Memory and the
Extended Instruction Set
The operation of program memory is unaffected by the
use of the extended instruction set.
Enabling the extended instruction set adds five
additional two-word commands to the existing PIC18
instruction set: ADDFSR, CALLW, MOVSF, MOVSS and
SUBFSR. These instructions are executed as described
in Section 6.2.4 “Two-Word Instructions”.
6.6
Data Memory and the Extended
Instruction Set
Enabling the PIC18 extended instruction set (XINST
Configuration bit = 1) significantly changes certain
aspects of data memory and its addressing. Specifically,
the use of the Access Bank for many of the core PIC18
instructions is different. This is due to the introduction of
a new addressing mode for the data memory space.
This mode also alters the behavior of Indirect
Addressing using FSR2 and its associated operands.
What does not change is just as important. The size of
the data memory space is unchanged, as well as its
linear addressing. The SFR map remains the same.
Core PIC18 instructions can still operate in both Direct
and Indirect Addressing mode; inherent and literal
instructions do not change at all. Indirect Addressing
with FSR0 and FSR1 also remains unchanged.
Indirect Addressing operations that target other FSRs
or virtual registers represent special cases. For
example, using an FSR to point to one of the virtual
registers will not result in successful operations. As a
specific case, assume that FSR0H:FSR0L contains
FE7h, the address of INDF1. Attempts to read the
value of the INDF1, using INDF0 as an operand, will
return 00h. Attempts to write to INDF1, using INDF0 as
the operand, will result in a NOP.
On the other hand, using the virtual registers to write to
an FSR pair may not occur as planned. In these cases,
the value will be written to the FSR pair but without any
incrementing or decrementing. Thus, writing to INDF2
or POSTDEC2 will write the same value to
FSR2H:FSR2L.

6.6.1
INDEXED ADDRESSING WITH
LITERAL OFFSET
Enabling the PIC18 extended instruction set changes
the behavior of Indirect Addressing using the FSR2
register pair and its associated file operands. Under
proper conditions, instructions that use the Access
Bank, that is, most bit and byte-oriented instructions,
can invoke a form of Indexed Addressing using an
offset specified in the instruction. This special addressing mode is known as Indexed Addressing with Literal
Offset, or Indexed Literal Offset mode.
When using the extended instruction set, this
addressing mode requires the following:
• The use of the Access Bank is forced (‘a’ = 0);
and
• The file address argument is less than or equal to
5Fh.
Under these conditions, the file address of the instruction is not interpreted as the lower byte of an address
(used with the BSR in Direct Addressing) or as an 8-bit
address in the Access Bank. Instead, the value is interpreted as an offset value to an Address Pointer
specified by FSR2. The offset and the contents of
FSR2 are added to obtain the target address of the
operation.
DS39932D-page 100
6.6.2
INSTRUCTIONS AFFECTED BY
INDEXED LITERAL OFFSET MODE
Any of the core PIC18 instructions that can use Direct
Addressing are potentially affected by the Indexed
Literal Offset Addressing mode. This includes all byte
and bit-oriented instructions, or almost one-half of the
standard PIC18 instruction set. Instructions that only
use Inherent or Literal Addressing modes are
unaffected.
Additionally, byte and bit-oriented instructions are not
affected if they do not use the Access Bank (Access
RAM bit is ‘1’) or include a file address of 60h or above.
Instructions meeting these criteria will continue to
execute as before. A comparison of the different possible addressing modes when the extended instruction set
is enabled is provided in Figure 6-9.
Those who desire to use byte or bit-oriented instructions in the Indexed Literal Offset mode should note the
changes to assembler syntax for this mode. This is
described in more detail in Section 27.2.1 “Extended
Instruction Syntax”.

6.6.3
MAPPING THE ACCESS BANK IN
INDEXED LITERAL OFFSET MODE
The use of Indexed Literal Offset Addressing mode
effectively changes how the lower part of Access RAM
(00h to 5Fh) is mapped. Rather than containing just the
contents of the bottom part of Bank 0, this mode maps
the contents from Bank 0 and a user-defined “window”
that can be located anywhere in the data memory
space. The value of FSR2 establishes the lower
boundary of the addresses mapped to the window,
while the upper boundary is defined by FSR2 plus 95
(5Fh). Addresses in the Access RAM above 5Fh are
mapped as previously described (see Section 6.3.2
“Access Bank”). Figure 6-10 provides an example of
Access Bank remapping in this addressing mode.
FIGURE 6-10:
Remapping of the Access Bank applies only to operations using the Indexed Literal Offset mode. Operations
that use the BSR (Access RAM bit is ‘1’) will continue
to use Direct Addressing as before. Any Indirect or
Indexed Addressing operation that explicitly uses any
of the indirect file operands (including FSR2) will continue to operate as standard Indirect Addressing. Any
instruction that uses the Access Bank, but includes a
register address of greater than 05Fh, will use Direct
Addressing and the normal Access Bank map.
6.6.4
BSR IN INDEXED LITERAL OFFSET
MODE
Although the Access Bank is remapped when the
extended instruction set is enabled, the operation of the
BSR remains unchanged. Direct Addressing, using the
BSR to select the data memory bank, operates in the
same manner as previously described.

FLASH PROGRAM MEMORY
7.1
Table Reads and Table Writes
The Flash program memory is readable, writable and
erasable during normal operation over the entire VDD
range.
In order to read and write program memory, there are
two operations that allow the processor to move bytes
between the program memory space and the data RAM:
A read from program memory is executed on 1 byte at
a time. A write to program memory is executed on
blocks of 64 bytes at a time or 2 bytes at a time.
Program memory is erased in blocks of 1024 bytes at
a time. A bulk erase operation may not be issued from
user code.
• Table Read (TBLRD)
• Table Write (TBLWT)
Writing or erasing program memory will cease
instruction fetches until the operation is complete. The
program memory cannot be accessed during the write
or erase, therefore, code cannot execute. An internal
programming timer terminates program memory writes
and erases.
A value written to program memory does not need to be
a valid instruction. Executing a program memory
location that forms an invalid instruction results in a
NOP.
The program memory space is 16 bits wide, while the
data RAM space is 8 bits wide. Table reads and table
writes move data between these two memory spaces
through an 8-bit register (TABLAT).
Table read operations retrieve data from program
memory and place it into the data RAM space.
Figure 7-1 illustrates the operation of a table read with
program memory and data RAM.
Table write operations store data from the data memory
space into holding registers in program memory. The
procedure to write the contents of the holding registers
into program memory is detailed in Section 7.5 “Writing
to Flash Program Memory”. Figure 7-2 illustrates the
operation of a table write with program memory and data
RAM.
Table operations work with byte entities. A table block
containing data, rather than program instructions, is not
required to be word-aligned. Therefore, a table block can
start and end at any byte address. If a table write is being
used to write executable code into program memory,
program instructions will need to be word-aligned.

Several control registers are used in conjunction with
the TBLRD and TBLWT instructions. Those are:
•
•
•
•
EECON1 register
EECON2 register
TABLAT register
TBLPTR registers
7.2.1
EECON1 AND EECON2 REGISTERS
The EECON1 register (Register 7-1) is the control
register for memory accesses. The EECON2 register is
not a physical register; it is used exclusively in the
memory write and erase sequences. Reading
EECON2 will read all ‘0’s.
The WPROG bit, when set, will allow programming
two bytes per word on the execution of the WR
command. If this bit is cleared, the WR command will
result in programming on a block of 64 bytes.
DS39932D-page 104
The FREE bit, when set, will allow a program memory
erase operation. When FREE is set, the erase
operation is initiated on the next WR command. When
FREE is clear, only writes are enabled.
The WREN bit, when set, will allow a write operation.
On power-up, the WREN bit is clear. The WRERR bit is
set in hardware when the WR bit is set, and cleared
when the internal programming timer expires and the
write operation is complete.
Note:
During normal operation, the WRERR is
read as ‘1’. This can indicate that a write
operation was prematurely terminated by
a Reset, or a write operation was
attempted improperly.
The WR control bit initiates write operations. The bit
cannot be cleared, only set, in software. It is cleared in
hardware at the completion of the write operation.

TABLE LATCH REGISTER (TABLAT)
7.2.4
TABLE POINTER BOUNDARIES
The Table Latch (TABLAT) is an 8-bit register mapped
into the Special Function Register (SFR) space. The
Table Latch register is used to hold 8-bit data during
data transfers between program memory and data
RAM.
TBLPTR is used in reads, writes and erases of the
Flash program memory.
7.2.3
When a TBLWT is executed, the seven Least Significant
bits (LSbs) of the Table Pointer register (TBLPTR<6:0>)
determine which of the 64 program memory holding
registers is written to. When the timed write to program
memory begins (via the WR bit), the 12 Most Significant
bits (MSbs) of the TBLPTR (TBLPTR<21:10>)
determine which program memory block of 1024 bytes
is written to. For more information, see Section 7.5
“Writing to Flash Program Memory”.
When a TBLRD is executed, all 22 bits of the TBLPTR
determine which byte is read from program memory
into TABLAT.
TABLE POINTER REGISTER
(TBLPTR)
The Table Pointer (TBLPTR) register addresses a byte
within the program memory. The TBLPTR is comprised
of three SFR registers: Table Pointer Upper Byte, Table
Pointer High Byte and Table Pointer Low Byte
(TBLPTRU:TBLPTRH:TBLPTRL). These three registers
join to form a 22-bit wide pointer. The low-order 21 bits
allow the device to address up to 2 Mbytes of program
memory space. The 22nd bit allows access to the device
ID, the user ID and the Configuration bits.
When an erase of program memory is executed, the
12 MSbs of the Table Pointer register point to the
1024-byte block that will be erased. The LSbs are
ignored.
The Table Pointer register, TBLPTR, is used by the
TBLRD and TBLWT instructions. These instructions can
update the TBLPTR in one of four ways based on the
table operation.
Figure 7-3 illustrates the relevant boundaries of
TBLPTR based on Flash program memory operations.
Table 7-1 provides these operations. These operations
on the TBLPTR only affect the low-order 21 bits.

TBLPTR points to a byte address in program space.
Executing TBLRD places the byte pointed to into
TABLAT. In addition, TBLPTR can be modified
automatically for the next table read operation.
Reading the Flash Program
Memory
The TBLRD instruction is used to retrieve data from
program memory and places it into data RAM. Table
reads from program memory are performed one byte at
a time.
The internal program memory is typically organized by
words. The LSb of the address selects between the high
and low bytes of the word.
Figure 7-4 illustrates the interface between the internal
program memory and the TABLAT.

Erasing Flash Program Memory
The minimum erase block is 512 words or 1024 bytes.
Only through the use of an external programmer, or
through ICSP control, can larger blocks of program
memory be bulk erased. Word erase in the Flash array
is not supported.
When initiating an erase sequence from the microcontroller itself, a block of 1024 bytes of program
memory is erased. The Most Significant 12 bits of the
TBLPTR<21:10> point to the block being erased.
TBLPTR<9:0> are ignored.
The EECON1 register commands the erase operation.
The WREN bit must be set to enable write operations.
The FREE bit is set to select an erase operation. For
protection, the write initiate sequence for EECON2
must be used.

The on-chip timer controls the write time. The
write/erase voltages are generated by an on-chip
charge pump, rated to operate over the voltage range
of the device.
Writing to Flash Program Memory
The programming block is 32 words or 64 bytes.
Programming one word or 2 bytes at a time is also
supported.
Note 1: Unlike previous PIC® devices, devices of
the PIC18F46J11 family do not reset the
holding registers after a write occurs. The
holding registers must be cleared or
overwritten before a programming
sequence.
Table writes are used internally to load the holding
registers needed to program the Flash memory. There
are 64 holding registers used by the table writes for
programming.
Since the Table Latch (TABLAT) is only a single byte, the
TBLWT instruction may need to be executed 64 times for
each programming operation (if WPROG = 0). All of the
table write operations will essentially be short writes
because only the holding registers are written. At the
end of updating the 64 holding registers, the EECON1
register must be written to in order to start the
programming operation with a long write.
2: To maintain the endurance of the program memory cells, each Flash byte
should not be programmed more than
once between erase operations. Before
attempting to modify the contents of the
target cell a second time, an erase of the
target page, or a bulk erase of the entire
memory, must be performed.
The long write is necessary for programming the
internal Flash. Instruction execution is halted while in a
long write cycle. The long write will be terminated by
the internal programming timer.

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

8 x 8 HARDWARE MULTIPLIER
8.1
Introduction
EXAMPLE 8-1:
MOVF
MULWF
All PIC18 devices include an 8 x 8 hardware multiplier
as part of the ALU. The multiplier performs an unsigned
operation and yields a 16-bit result that is stored in the
product register pair, PRODH:PRODL. The multiplier’s
operation does not affect any flags in the STATUS
register.
ARG1, W
ARG2
EXAMPLE 8-2:
Making multiplication a hardware operation allows it to
be completed in a single instruction cycle. This has the
advantages of higher computational throughput and
reduced code size for multiplication algorithms and
allows the PIC18 devices to be used in many applications previously reserved for digital signal processors.
Table 8-1 provides a comparison of various hardware
and software multiply operations, along with the
savings in memory and execution time.

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

INTERRUPTS
Devices of the PIC18F46J11 family have multiple interrupt sources and an interrupt priority feature that allows
most interrupt sources to be assigned a high-priority
level or a low-priority level. The high-priority interrupt
vector is at 0008h and the low-priority interrupt vector
is at 0018h. High-priority interrupt events will interrupt
any low-priority interrupts that may be in progress.
There are 13 registers, which are used to control
interrupt operation. These registers are:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
RCON
INTCON
INTCON2
INTCON3
PIR1, PIR2, PIR3
PIE1, PIE2, PIE3
IPR1, IPR2, IPR3
It is recommended that the Microchip header files
supplied with MPLAB® IDE be used for the symbolic bit
names in these registers. This allows the
assembler/compiler to automatically take care of the
placement of these bits within the specified register.
In general, interrupt sources have three bits to control
their operation. They are:
• Flag bit to indicate that an interrupt event
occurred
• Enable bit that allows program execution to
branch to the interrupt vector address when the
flag bit is set
• Priority bit to select high priority or low priority
The interrupt priority feature is enabled by setting the
IPEN bit (RCON<7>). When interrupt priority is
enabled, there are two bits which enable interrupts
globally. Setting the GIEH bit (INTCON<7>) enables all
interrupts that have the priority bit set (high priority).
Setting the GIEH and GIEL bits (INTCON<7:6>)
enables interrupts that have the priority bit cleared (low
priority). When the interrupt flag, enable bit and
appropriate Global Interrupt Enable (GIE) bit are set,
the interrupt will vector immediately to address 0008h
or 0018h, depending on the priority bit setting.
Individual interrupts can be disabled through their
corresponding enable bits.
 2011 Microchip Technology Inc.
When the IPEN bit is cleared (default state), the
interrupt priority feature is disabled and interrupts are
compatible with PIC® mid-range devices. In
Compatibility mode, the interrupt priority bits for each
source have no effect. INTCON<6> is the PEIE bit,
which enables/disables all peripheral interrupt sources.
INTCON<7> is the GIE bit, which enables/disables all
interrupt sources. All interrupts branch to address
0008h in Compatibility mode.
When an interrupt is responded to, the Global Interrupt
Enable bit is cleared to disable further interrupts. If the
IPEN bit is cleared, this is the GIE bit. If interrupt priority
levels are used, this will be either the GIEH or GIEL bit.
High-priority interrupt sources can interrupt a
low-priority interrupt. Low-priority interrupts are not
processed while high-priority interrupts are in progress.
The return address is pushed onto the stack and the
PC is loaded with the interrupt vector address (0008h
or 0018h). Once in the Interrupt Service Routine, the
source(s) of the interrupt can be determined by polling
the interrupt flag bits. The interrupt flag bits must be
cleared in software before re-enabling interrupts to
avoid recursive interrupts.
The “return from interrupt” instruction, RETFIE, exits
the interrupt routine and sets the GIE bit (GIEH or GIEL
if priority levels are used), which re-enables interrupts.
For external interrupt events, such as the INTx pins or
the PORTB input change interrupt, the interrupt latency
will be three to four instruction cycles. The exact
latency is the same for one or two-cycle instructions.
Individual interrupt flag bits are set regardless of the
status of their corresponding enable bit or the GIE bit.
Note:
Do not use the MOVFF instruction to modify any of the interrupt control registers
while any interrupt is enabled. Doing so
may cause erratic microcontroller behavior.

INTx Pin Interrupts
External interrupts on the INT0, INT1, INT2 and INT3
pins are edge-triggered. If the corresponding INTEDGx
bit in the INTCON2 register is set (= 1), the interrupt is
triggered by a rising edge; if the bit is clear, the trigger
is on the falling edge. When a valid edge appears on
the INTx pin, the corresponding flag bit and INTxIF are
set. This interrupt can be disabled by clearing the
corresponding enable bit, INTxIE. Flag bit, INTxIF,
must be cleared in software in the Interrupt Service
Routine before re-enabling the interrupt.
All external interrupts (INT0, INT1, INT2 and INT3) can
wake-up the processor from the Sleep and Idle modes
if bit, INTxIE, was set prior to going into the power-managed modes. After waking from Sleep or Idle mode, the
processor will branch to the interrupt vector if the
Global Interrupt Enable bit (GIE) is set. Deep Sleep
mode can wake up from INT0, but the processor will
start execution from the Power-on Reset vector rather
than branch to the interrupt vector.
Interrupt priority for INT1, INT2 and INT3 is determined
by the value contained in the Interrupt Priority bits,
INT1IP (INTCON3<6>), INT2IP (INTCON3<7>) and
INT3IP (INTCON2<1>). There is no priority bit
associated with INT0. It is always a high-priority
interrupt source.
9.7
TMR0 Interrupt
pair (FFFFh  0000h) will set TMR0IF. The interrupt
can be enabled/disabled by setting/clearing enable bit,
TMR0IE (INTCON<5>). Interrupt priority for Timer0 is
determined by the value contained in the interrupt priority bit, TMR0IP (INTCON2<2>). See Section 12.0
“Timer0 Module” for further details on the Timer0
module.
9.8
PORTB Interrupt-on-Change
An input change on PORTB<7:4> sets flag bit, RBIF
(INTCON<0>). The interrupt can be enabled/disabled
by setting/clearing enable bit, RBIE (INTCON<3>).
Interrupt priority for PORTB interrupt-on-change is
determined by the value contained in the interrupt
priority bit, RBIP (INTCON2<0>).
9.9
Context Saving During Interrupts
During interrupts, the return PC address is saved on
the stack. Additionally, the WREG, STATUS and BSR
registers are saved on the Fast Return Stack. If a fast
return from interrupt is not used (see Section 6.3
“Data Memory Organization”), the user may need to
save the WREG, STATUS and BSR registers on entry
to the Interrupt Service Routine. Depending on the
user’s application, other registers may also need to be
saved. Example 9-1 saves and restores the WREG,
STATUS and BSR registers during an Interrupt Service
Routine.
In 8-bit mode (which is the default), an overflow in the
TMR0 register (FFh  00h) will set flag bit, TMR0IF. In
16-bit mode, an overflow in the TMR0H:TMR0L register

I/O PORTS
10.1
I/O Port Pin Capabilities
Depending on the device selected and features
enabled, there are up to five ports available. Some pins
of the I/O ports are multiplexed with an alternate
function from the peripheral features on the device. In
general, when a peripheral is enabled, that pin may not
be used as a general purpose I/O pin.
When developing an application, the capabilities of the
port pins must be considered. Outputs on some pins
have higher output drive strength than others. Similarly,
some pins can tolerate higher than VDD input levels.
Each port has three registers for its operation. These
registers are:
The output pin drive strengths vary for groups of pins
intended to meet the needs for a variety of applications.
PORTB and PORTC are designed to drive higher
loads, such as LEDs. All other ports are designed for
small loads, typically indication only. Table 10-1 summarizes the output capabilities. Refer to Section 29.0
“Electrical Characteristics” for more details.
• TRIS register (Data Direction register)
• PORT register (reads the levels on the pins of the
device)
• LAT register (Data Latch)
The Data Latch (LAT register) is useful for read-modifywrite operations on the value that the I/O pins are
driving.
Figure 10-1 displays a simplified model of a generic I/O
port, without the interfaces to other peripherals.

INPUT PINS AND VOLTAGE
CONSIDERATIONS
The voltage tolerance of pins used as device inputs is
dependent on the pin’s input function. Pins that are used
as digital only inputs are able to handle DC voltages up
to 5.5V; a level typical for digital logic circuits. In contrast,
pins that also have analog input functions of any kind
can only tolerate voltages up to VDD. Voltage excursions
beyond VDD on these pins should be avoided. Table 102 summarizes the input capabilities. Refer to
Section 29.0 “Electrical Characteristics” for more
details.

INTERFACING TO A 5V SYSTEM
Though the VDDMAX of the PIC18F46J11 family is 3.6V,
these devices are still capable of interfacing with 5V
systems, even if the VIH of the target system is above
3.6V. This is accomplished by adding a pull-up resistor
to the port pin (Figure 10-2), clearing the LAT bit for that
pin and manipulating the corresponding TRIS bit
(Figure 10-1) to either allow the line to be pulled high or
to drive the pin low. Only port pins that are tolerant of
voltages up to 5.5V can be used for this type of
interface (refer to Section 10.1.2 “Input Pins and
Voltage Considerations”).
FIGURE 10-2:
+5V SYSTEM HARDWARE
INTERFACE
PIC18F46J11
+5V
The open-drain option is implemented on port pins
specifically associated with the data and clock outputs
of the EUSARTs, the MSSP modules (in SPI mode) and
the ECCP modules. It is selectively enabled by setting
the open-drain control bit for the corresponding module
in the ODCON registers (Register 10-1, Register 10-2
and Register 10-3). Their configuration is discussed in
more detail with the individual port where these
peripherals are multiplexed.
When the open-drain option is required, the output pin
must also be tied through an external pull-up resistor
provided by the user to a higher voltage level, up to
5.5V (Figure 10-3). When a digital logic high signal is
output, it is pulled up to the higher voltage level.

OPEN-DRAIN OUTPUTS
The output pins for several peripherals are also

This allows the peripherals to communicate with
external digital logic operating at a higher voltage level,
without the use of level translators.
DS39932D-page 132
10.1.5
TTL INPUT BUFFER OPTION
Many of the digital I/O ports use Schmitt Trigger (ST)
input buffers. While this form of buffering works well
with many types of input, some applications may
require TTL level signals to interface with external logic
devices. This is particularly true for the Parallel Master
Port (PMP), which is likely to be interfaced to TTL level
logic or memory devices.
The inputs for the PMP can be optionally configured for
TTL buffers with the PMPTTL bit in the PADCFG1 register (Register 10-4). Setting this bit configures all data
and control input pins for the PMP to use TTL buffers.
By default, these PMP inputs use the port’s ST buffers.

PORTA, TRISA and LATA Registers
PORTA is a 7-bit wide, bidirectional port. It may
function as a 5-bit port, depending on the oscillator
mode selected. Setting a TRISA bit (= 1) will make the
corresponding PORTA pin an input (i.e., put the
corresponding output driver in a high-impedance
mode). Clearing a TRISA bit (= 0) will make the
corresponding PORTA pin an output (i.e., put the
contents of the output latch on the selected pin).
Reading the PORTA register reads the status of the
pins, whereas writing to it, will write to the port latch.

The Data Latch (LATA) register is also memory mapped.
Read-modify-write operations on the LATA register read
and write the latched output value for PORTA.
The other PORTA pins are multiplexed with analog
inputs, the analog VREF+ and VREF- inputs and the comparator voltage reference output. The operation of pins,
RA<3:0> and RA5, as A/D converter inputs is selected
by clearing or setting the control bits in the ANCON0
register (A/D Port Configuration Register 0).
Pins, RA0 and RA3, may also be used as comparator
inputs by setting the appropriate bits in the CMCON register. To use RA<3:0> as digital inputs, it is also
necessary to turn off the comparators.
Note:
On a Power-on Reset (POR), RA5 and
RA<3:0> are configured as analog inputs
and read as ‘0’.
All PORTA pins have TTL input levels and full CMOS
output drivers.
The TRISA register controls the direction of the PORTA
pins, even when they are being used as analog inputs.
The user must ensure the bits in the TRISA register are
maintained set when using them as analog inputs.

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

Set RB<3:0> as inputs

Each of the PORTB pins has a weak internal pull-up. A
single control bit can turn on all the pull-ups. This is
performed by clearing bit, RBPU (INTCON2<7>). The
weak pull-up is automatically turned off when the port
pin is configured as an output. The pull-ups are
disabled on a POR.
Note:
Four of the PORTB pins (RB<7:4>) have an interrupton-change feature. Only pins configured as inputs can
cause this interrupt to occur (i.e., any RB<7:4> pin
configured as an output is excluded from the interrupton-change comparison). The input pins (of RB<7:4>)
are compared with the old value latched on the last
read of PORTB. The “mismatch” outputs of RB<7:4>
are ORed together to generate the RB Port Change
Interrupt with Flag bit, RBIF (INTCON<0>).
This interrupt can wake the device from Sleep mode or
any of the Idle modes. The user, in the Interrupt Service
Routine (ISR), can clear the interrupt using the following
steps:
1.
2.
3.
Any read or write of PORTB (except with the
MOVFF (ANY), PORTB instruction).
Wait one instruction cycle (such as executing a
NOP instruction).
Clear flag bit, RBIF.
A mismatch condition continues to set flag bit, RBIF.
Reading PORTB will end the mismatch condition and
allow flag bit, RBIF, to be cleared after one instruction
cycle of delay.
The interrupt-on-change feature is recommended for
wake-up on key depression operation and operations
where PORTB is only used for the interrupt-on-change
feature. Polling of PORTB is not recommended while
using the interrupt-on-change feature.
The RB5 pin is multiplexed with the Timer0 module
clock input and one of the comparator outputs to
become the RB5/KBI1/SDI1/SDA1/RP8 pin.
On a POR, the RB<3:0> bits are
configured as analog inputs by default and
read as ‘0’; RB<7:4> bits are configured
as digital inputs.

PORTC, TRISC and LATC
Registers
PORTC is an 8-bit wide, bidirectional port. The corresponding Data Direction register is TRISC. Setting a
TRISC bit (= 1) will make the corresponding PORTC
pin an input (i.e., put the corresponding output driver in
a high-impedance mode). Clearing a TRISC bit (= 0)
will make the corresponding PORTC pin an output (i.e.,
put the contents of the output latch on the selected pin).
The Data Latch register (LATC) is also memory
mapped. Read-modify-write operations on the LATC
register read and write the latched output value for
PORTC.
PORTC is multiplexed with several peripheral functions
(see Table 10-7). The pins have Schmitt Trigger input
buffers.
When enabling peripheral functions, care should be
taken in defining TRIS bits for each PORTC pin. Some
peripherals override the TRIS bit to make a pin an output,
while other peripherals override the TRIS bit to make a
pin an input. The user should refer to the corresponding
peripheral section for additional information.
DS39932D-page 142
Note:
On a Power-on Reset, PORTC pins
(except RC2) are configured as digital
inputs. RC2 will default as an analog input
(controlled by the ANCON1 register).
The contents of the TRISC register are affected by
peripheral overrides. Reading TRISC always returns
the current contents, even though a peripheral device
may be overriding one or more of the pins.

Note:
PORTD, TRISD and LATD
Registers
PORTD is available only in 44-pin
devices.
PORTD is an 8-bit wide, bidirectional port. The corresponding Data Direction register is TRISD. Setting a
TRISD bit (= 1) will make the corresponding PORTD
pin an input (i.e., put the corresponding output driver in
a high-impedance mode). Clearing a TRISD bit (= 0)
will make the corresponding PORTD pin an output (i.e.,
put the contents of the output latch on the selected pin).
The Data Latch register (LATD) is also memory
mapped. Read-modify-write operations on the LATD
register read and write the latched output value for
PORTD.
All pins on PORTD are implemented with Schmitt Trigger
input buffers. Each pin is individually configurable as an
input or output.
Note:
On a POR, these pins are configured as
digital inputs.

Each of the PORTD pins has a weak internal pull-up. A
single control bit can turn on all the pull-ups. This is performed by setting bit, RDPU (PORTE<7>). The weak
pull-up is automatically turned off when the port pin is
configured as an output. The pull-ups are disabled on a
POR.
Note that the pull-ups can be used for any set of
features, similar to the pull-ups found on PORTB.

Note:
PORTE, TRISE and LATE
Registers
PORTE is available only in 44-pin
devices.
Depending on the particular PIC18F46J11 family
device selected, PORTE is implemented in two
different ways.
For 44-pin devices, PORTE is a 3-bit wide port. Three
pins (RE0/AN5/PMRD, RE1/AN6/PMWR and RE2/
AN7/PMCS) are individually configurable as inputs or
outputs. These pins have Schmitt Trigger input buffers.
When selected as analog inputs, these pins will read as
‘0’s.
The corresponding Data Direction register is TRISE.
Setting a TRISE bit (= 1) will make the corresponding
PORTE pin an input (i.e., put the corresponding output
driver in a high-impedance mode). Clearing a TRISE bit
(= 0) will make the corresponding PORTE pin an output
(i.e., put the contents of the output latch on the selected
pin).
TRISE controls the direction of the RE pins, even when
they are being used as analog inputs. The user must
make sure to keep the pins configured as inputs when
using them as analog inputs.
Note:
The Data Latch register (LATE) is also memory
mapped. Read-modify-write operations on the LATE
register read and write the latched output value for
PORTE.

Each of the PORTE pins has a weak internal pull-up. A
single control bit can turn on all the pull-ups. This is performed by setting bit, REPU (PORTE<6>). The weak
pull-up is automatically turned off when the port pin is
configured as an output. The pull-ups are disabled on a
POR.
Note that the pull-ups can be used for any set of
features, similar to the pull-ups found on PORTB.
On a POR, RE<2:0> are configured as
analog inputs.

10.7
Peripheral Pin Select (PPS)
A major challenge in general purpose devices is providing the largest possible set of peripheral features while
minimizing the conflict of features on I/O pins. The
challenge is even greater on low pin count devices
similar to the PIC18F46J11 family. In an application
that needs to use more than one peripheral multiplexed
on single pin, inconvenient workarounds in application
code or a complete redesign may be the only option.
The Peripheral Pin Select (PPS) feature provides an
alternative to these choices by enabling the user’s
peripheral set selection and their placement on a wide
range of I/O pins. By increasing the pinout options
available on a particular device, users can better tailor
the microcontroller to their entire application, rather than
trimming the application to fit the device.
The PPS feature operates over a fixed subset of digital
I/O pins. Users may independently map the input and/
or output of any one of the many digital peripherals to
any one of these I/O pins. PPS is performed in software
and generally does not require the device to be
reprogrammed. Hardware safeguards are included that
prevent accidental or spurious changes to the
peripheral mapping once it has been established.
10.7.1
AVAILABLE PINS
The PPS feature is used with a range of up to 22 pins;
the number of available pins is dependent on the
particular device and its pin count. Pins that support the
PPS feature include the designation “RPn” in their full
pin designation, where “RP” designates a remappable
peripheral and “n” is the remappable pin number. See
Table 1-2 for pinout options in each package offering.
10.7.2
AVAILABLE PERIPHERALS
The peripherals managed by the PPS are all digital
only peripherals. These include general serial communications (UART and SPI), general purpose timer clock
inputs, timer-related peripherals (input capture and
output compare) and external interrupt inputs. Also
included are the outputs of the comparator module,
since these are discrete digital signals.
The PPS module is not applied to I2C, change notification inputs, RTCC alarm outputs or peripherals with
analog inputs. Additionally, the MSSP1 and EUSART1
modules are not routed through the PPS module.
A key difference between pin select and non-pin select
peripherals is that pin select peripherals are not associated with a default I/O pin. The peripheral must
always be assigned to a specific I/O pin before it can be
used. In contrast, non PPS peripherals are always
available on a default pin, assuming that the peripheral
is active and not conflicting with another peripheral.
10.7.2.1
Peripheral Pin Select Function
Priority
When a pin selectable peripheral is active on a given I/O
pin, it takes priority over all other digital I/O and digital
communication peripherals associated with the pin.
Priority is given regardless of the type of peripheral that
is mapped. Pin select peripherals never take priority
over any analog functions associated with the pin.
10.7.3
CONTROLLING PERIPHERAL PIN
SELECT
PPS features are controlled through two sets of Special
Function Registers (SFRs): one to map peripheral
inputs and the other to map outputs. Because they are
separately controlled, a particular peripheral’s input
and output (if the peripheral has both) can be placed on
any selectable function pin without constraint.
The association of a peripheral to a peripheral selectable
pin is handled in two different ways, depending on
whether an input or an output is being mapped.

 2011 Microchip Technology Inc.
PIC18F46J11 FAMILY
10.7.3.1
Input Mapping
The inputs of the PPS options are mapped on the basis
of the peripheral; that is, a control register associated
with a peripheral dictates the pin it will be mapped to.
The RPINRx registers are used to configure peripheral
input mapping (see Register 10-6 through Register 1020). Each register contains a 5-bit field, which is associ-
TABLE 10-13:
ated with one of the pin selectable peripherals. Programming a given peripheral’s bit field with an appropriate 5bit value maps the RPn pin with that value to that
peripheral. For any given device, the valid range of
values for any of the bit fields corresponds to the
maximum number of peripheral pin selections supported
by the device.

10.7.3.2
Output Mapping
In contrast to inputs, the outputs of the PPS options are
mapped on the basis of the pin. In this case, a control
register associated with a particular pin dictates the
peripheral output to be mapped. The RPORx registers
are used to control output mapping. The value of the bit
field corresponds to one of the peripherals and that
peripheral’s output is mapped to the pin (see Table 1014).
Because of the mapping technique, the list of
peripherals for output mapping also includes a null
value of ‘00000’. This permits any given pin to remain
disconnected from the output of any of the pin
selectable peripherals.

10.7.3.3
Mapping Limitations
The control schema of the PPS is extremely flexible.
Other than systematic blocks that prevent signal contention caused by two physical pins being configured
as the same functional input or two functional outputs
configured as the same pin, there are no hardware
enforced lock outs. The flexibility extends to the point of
allowing a single input to drive multiple peripherals or a
single functional output to drive multiple output pins.
10.7.4
CONTROLLING CONFIGURATION
CHANGES
Because peripheral remapping can be changed during
run time, some restrictions on peripheral remapping
are needed to prevent accidental configuration
changes. PIC18F devices include three features to
prevent alterations to the peripheral map:
• Control register lock sequence
• Continuous state monitoring
• Configuration bit remapping lock
10.7.4.1
Control Register Lock
Under normal operation, writes to the RPINRx and
RPORx registers are not allowed. Attempted writes will
appear to execute normally, but the contents of the
registers will remain unchanged. To change these registers, they must be unlocked in hardware. The register
lock is controlled by the IOLOCK bit (PPSCON<0>).
Setting IOLOCK prevents writes to the control
registers; clearing IOLOCK allows writes.
To set or clear IOLOCK, a specific command sequence
must be executed:
1.
2.
3.
Write 55h to EECON2<7:0>.
Write AAh to EECON2<7:0>.
Clear (or set) IOLOCK as a single operation.
IOLOCK remains in one state until changed. This
allows all of the PPS registers to be configured with a
single unlock sequence followed by an update to all
control registers, then locked with a second lock
sequence.
10.7.4.2
Continuous State Monitoring
In addition to being protected from direct writes, the
contents of the RPINRx and RPORx registers are
constantly monitored in hardware by shadow registers.
If an unexpected change in any of the registers occurs
(such as cell disturbances caused by ESD or other
external events), a Configuration Mismatch Reset will
be triggered.
 2011 Microchip Technology Inc.
10.7.4.3
Configuration Bit Pin Select Lock
As an additional level of safety, the device can be configured to prevent more than one write session to the
RPINRx and RPORx registers. The IOL1WAY
(CONFIG3H<0>) Configuration bit blocks the IOLOCK
bit from being cleared after it has been set once. If
IOLOCK remains set, the register unlock procedure will
not execute and the PPS control registers cannot be
written to. The only way to clear the bit and re-enable
peripheral remapping is to perform a device Reset.
In the default (unprogrammed) state, IOL1WAY is set,
restricting users to one write session. Programming
IOL1WAY allows users unlimited access (with the
proper use of the unlock sequence) to the PPS
registers.
10.7.5
CONSIDERATIONS FOR
PERIPHERAL PIN SELECTION
The ability to control peripheral pin selection introduces
several considerations into application design that
could be overlooked. This is particularly true for several
common peripherals that are available only as
remappable peripherals.
The main consideration is that the PPS is not available
on default pins in the device’s default (Reset) state.
Since all RPINRx registers reset to ‘11111’ and all
RPORx registers reset to ‘00000’, all PPS inputs are
tied to RP31 and all PPS outputs are disconnected.
Note:
In tying PPS inputs to RP31, RP31 does
not have to exist on a device for the
registers to be reset to it.
This situation requires the user to initialize the device
with the proper peripheral configuration before any
other application code is executed. Since the IOLOCK
bit resets in the unlocked state, it is not necessary to
execute the unlock sequence after the device has
come out of Reset.
For application safety, however, it is best to set
IOLOCK and lock the configuration after writing to the
control registers.
Because the unlock sequence is timing critical, it must
be executed as an assembly language routine. If the
bulk of the application is written in C or another highlevel language, the unlock sequence should be
performed by writing in-line assembly.

PIC18F46J11 FAMILY
Choosing the configuration requires the review of all
PPSs and their pin assignments, especially those that
will not be used in the application. In all cases, unused
pin selectable peripherals should be disabled completely. Unused peripherals should have their inputs
assigned to an unused RPn pin function. I/O pins with
unused RPn functions should be configured with the
null peripheral output.
The assignment of a peripheral to a particular pin does
not automatically perform any other configuration of the
pin’s I/O circuitry. In theory, this means adding a pin
selectable output to a pin may mean inadvertently driving an existing peripheral input when the output is
driven. Users must be familiar with the behavior of
other fixed peripherals that share a remappable pin and
know when to enable or disable them. To be safe, fixed
digital peripherals that share the same pin should be
disabled when not in use.
Along these lines, configuring a remappable pin for a
specific peripheral does not automatically turn that
feature on. The peripheral must be specifically configured for operation and enabled, as if it were tied to a
fixed pin. Where this happens in the application code
(immediately following device Reset and peripheral
configuration or inside the main application routine)
depends on the peripheral and its use in the
application.
A final consideration is that the PPS functions neither
override analog inputs nor reconfigure pins with analog
functions for digital I/O. If a pin is configured as an
analog input on device Reset, it must be explicitly
reconfigured as digital I/O when used with a PPS.
Example 10-7 provides a configuration for bidirectional
communication with flow control using EUSART2. The
following input and output functions are used:
• Input Function RX2
• Output Function TX2

If the Configuration bit, IOL1WAY = 1,
once the IOLOCK bit is set, it cannot be
cleared, preventing any future RP register
changes. The IOLOCK bit is cleared back
to ‘0’ on any device Reset.

PARALLEL MASTER PORT
(PMP)
The Parallel Master Port module (PMP) is an 8-bit
parallel I/O module, specifically designed to communicate with a wide variety of parallel devices, such as
communication peripherals, LCDs, external memory
devices and microcontrollers. Because the interface to
parallel peripherals varies significantly, the PMP is
highly configurable. The PMP module can be
configured to serve as either a PMP or as a Parallel
Slave Port (PSP).
FIGURE 11-1:
Key features of the PMP module are:
• Up to 16 bits of Addressing when Using
Data/Address Multiplexing
• Up to 8 Programmable Address Lines
• One Chip Select Line
• Programmable Strobe Options:
- Individual Read and Write Strobes or;
- Read/Write Strobe with Enable Strobe
• Address Auto-Increment/Auto-Decrement
• Programmable Address/Data Multiplexing
• Programmable Polarity on Control Signals
• Legacy Parallel Slave Port Support
• Enhanced Parallel Slave Support:
- Address Support
- 4-Byte Deep, Auto-Incrementing Buffer
• Programmable Wait States
• Selectable Input Voltage Levels

11.1
The
PMCON
registers
(Register 11-1
and
Register 11-2) control basic module operations, including turning the module on or off. They also configure
address multiplexing and control strobe configuration.
Module Registers
The PMP module has a total of 14 Special Function
Registers (SFRs) for its operation, plus one additional
register to set configuration options. Of these, eight
registers are used for control and six are used for PMP
data transfer.
11.1.1
The
PMMODE
registers
(Register 11-3
and
Register 11-4) configure the various Master and Slave
modes, the data width and interrupt generation.
CONTROL REGISTERS
The PMEH and PMEL registers (Register 11-5 and
Register 11-6) configure the module’s operation at the
hardware (I/O pin) level.
The eight PMP Control registers are:
• PMCONH and PMCONL
• PMEH and PMEL
The
PMSTAT
registers
(Register 11-5
and
Register 11-6) provide status flags for the module’s
input and output buffers, depending on the operating
mode.

11.1.2
DATA REGISTERS
The PMP module uses eight registers for transferring
data into and out of the microcontroller. They are
arranged as four pairs to allow the option of 16-bit data
operations:
•
•
•
•
PMDIN1H and PMDIN1L
PMDIN2H and PMDIN2L
PMADDRH/PMDOUT1H and PMADDRL/PMDOUT1L
PMDOUT2H and PMDOUT2L
The PMDIN1 register is used for incoming data in Slave
modes and both input and output data in Master
modes. The PMDIN2 register is used for buffering input
data in select Slave modes.
The PMADDR/PMDOUT1 registers are actually a
single register pair; the name and function are dictated
by the module’s operating mode. In Master modes, the
registers function as the PMADDRH and PMADDRL
registers and contain the address of any incoming or
outgoing data. In Slave modes, the registers function
as PMDOUT1H and PMDOUT1L and are used for
outgoing data.
DS39932D-page 178
PMADDRH differs from PMADDRL in that it can also
have limited PMP control functions. When the module is
operating in select Master mode configurations, the
upper two bits of the register can be used to determine
the operation of chip select signals. If these are not
used, PMADDR simply functions to hold the upper 8 bits
of the address. Register 11-9 provides the function of
the individual bits in PMADDRH.
The PMDOUT2H and PMDOUT2L registers are only
used in Buffered Slave modes and serve as a buffer for
outgoing data.
11.1.3
PAD CONFIGURATION CONTROL
REGISTER
In addition to the module level configuration options,
the PMP module can also be configured at the I/O pin
for electrical operation. This option allows users to
select either the normal Schmitt Trigger input buffer on
digital I/O pins shared with the PMP, or use TTL level
compatible buffers instead. Buffer configuration is
controlled by the PMPTTL bit in the PADCFG1 register.

Slave Port Modes
The primary mode of operation for the module is
configured using the MODE<1:0> bits in the
PMMODEH register. The setting affects whether the
module acts as a slave or a master, and it determines
the usage of the control pins.
11.2.1
LEGACY MODE (PSP)
In Legacy mode (PMMODEH<1:0> = 00 and
PMPEN = 1), the module is configured as a Parallel
Slave Port (PSP) with the associated enabled module
FIGURE 11-2:
pins dedicated to the module. In this mode, an external
device, such as another microcontroller or microprocessor, can asynchronously read and write data
using the 8-bit data bus (PMD<7:0>), the read (PMRD),
write (PMWR) and chip select (PMCS1) inputs. It acts
as a slave on the bus and responds to the read/write
control signals.
Figure 11-2 displays the connection of the PSP.
When chip select is active and a write strobe occurs
(PMCS = 1 and PMWR = 1), the data from
PMD<7:0> is captured into the PMDIN1L register.

ends.The timing for the control signals in Write mode is

11.2.4
BUFFERED PARALLEL SLAVE
PORT MODE
11.2.4.2
Buffered Parallel Slave Port mode is functionally
identical to the legacy PSP mode with one exception,
the implementation of 4-level read and write buffers.
Buffered PSP mode is enabled by setting the INCM bits
in the PMMODEH register. If the INCM<1:0> bits are
set to ‘11’, the PMP module will act as the Buffered
PSP.
When the Buffered mode is active, the PMDIN1L,
PMDIN1H, PMDIN2L and PMDIN2H registers become
the write buffers and the PMDOUT1L, PMDOUT1H,
PMDOUT2L and PMDOUT2H registers become the
read buffers. Buffers are numbered 0 through 3, starting with the lower byte of PMDIN1L to PMDIN2H as the
read buffers and PMDOUT1L to PMDOUT2H as the
write buffers.
11.2.4.1
READ FROM SLAVE PORT
For read operations, the bytes will be sent out
sequentially, starting with Buffer 0 (PMDOUT1L<7:0>)
and ending with Buffer 3 (PMDOUT2H<7:0>) for every
read strobe. The module maintains an internal pointer
to keep track of which buffer is to be read. Each buffer
has a corresponding read status bit, OBxE, in the
PMSTATL register. This bit is cleared when a buffer
contains data that has not been written to the bus, and
is set when data is written to the bus. If the current buffer location being read from is empty, a buffer underflow
is generated, and the Buffer Overflow flag bit, OBUF, is
set. If all four OBxE status bits are set, then the Output
Buffer Empty flag (OBE) will also be set.
FIGURE 11-5:
WRITE TO SLAVE PORT
For write operations, the data has to be stored
sequentially, starting with Buffer 0 (PMDIN1L<7:0>)
and ending with Buffer 3 (PMDIN2H<7:0>). As with
read operations, the module maintains an internal
pointer to the buffer that is to be written next.
The input buffers have their own write status bits, IBxF
in the PMSTATH register. The bit is set when the buffer
contains unread incoming data, and cleared when the
data has been read. The flag bit is set on the write
strobe. If a write occurs on a buffer when its associated
IBxF bit is set, the Buffer Overflow flag, IBOV, is set;
any incoming data in the buffer will be lost. If all four
IBxF flags are set, the Input Buffer Full Flag (IBF) is set.
In Buffered Slave mode, the module can be configured
to generate an interrupt on every read or write strobe
(IRQM<1:0> = 01). It can be configured to generate an
interrupt on a read from Read Buffer 3 or a write to
Write Buffer 3, which is essentially an interrupt every
fourth read or write strobe (RQM<1:0> = 11). When
interrupting every fourth byte for input data, all input
buffer registers should be read to clear the IBxF flags.
If these flags are not cleared, then there is a risk of
hitting an overflow condition.

PORT MODE
In the Addressable Parallel Slave Port mode
(PMMODEH<1:0> = 01), the module is configured with
two extra inputs, PMA<1:0>, which are the address
lines 1 and 0. This makes the 4-byte buffer space
directly addressable as fixed pairs of read and write
buffers. As with Legacy Buffered mode, data is output
from PMDOUT1L, PMDOUT1H, PMDOUT2L and
PMDOUT2H, and is read in on PMDIN1L, PMDIN1H,
PMDIN2L and PMDIN2H. Table 11-1 provides the

11.3
MASTER PORT MODES
In its Master modes, the PMP module provides an 8-bit
data bus, up to 16 bits of address, and all the necessary
control signals to operate a variety of external parallel
devices, such as memory devices, peripherals and
slave microcontrollers. To use the PMP as a master,
the module must be enabled (PMPEN = 1) and the
mode must be set to one of the two possible Master
modes (PMMODEH<1:0> = 10 or 11).
Because there are a number of parallel devices with a
variety of control methods, the PMP module is designed
to be extremely flexible to accommodate a range of
configurations. Some of these features include:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
8-Bit and 16-Bit Data modes on an 8-bit data bus
Configurable address/data multiplexing
Up to two chip select lines
Up to 16 selectable address lines
Address auto-increment and auto-decrement
Selectable polarity on all control lines
Configurable Wait states at different stages of the
read/write cycle
11.3.1
PMP AND I/O PIN CONTROL
Multiple control bits are used to configure the presence
or absence of control and address signals in the
module. These bits are PTBEEN, PTWREN, PTRDEN
and PTEN<15:0>. They give the user the ability to conserve pins for other functions and allow flexibility to
control the external address. When any one of these
bits is set, the associated function is present on its
associated pin; when clear, the associated pin reverts
to its defined I/O port function.
Setting a PTENx bit will enable the associated pin as
an address pin and drive the corresponding data
contained in the PMADDR register. Clearing a PTENx
bit will force the pin to revert to its original I/O function.
For the pins configured as chip select (PMCS) with the
corresponding PTENx bit set, the PTEN0 and PTEN1
bits will also control the PMALL and PMALH signals.
When multiplexing is used, the associated address
latch signals should be enabled.
11.3.2
READ/WRITE CONTROL
The PMP module supports two distinct read/write
signaling methods. In Master Mode 1, read and write
strobes are combined into a single control line,
PMRD/PMWR. A second control line, PMENB, determines when a read or write action is to be taken. In
Master Mode 2, separate read and write strobes
(PMRD and PMWR) are supplied on separate pins.
All control signals (PMRD,
PMAL and PMCS) can be
either positive or negative
controlled by separate bits
Note that the polarity of control signals that share the
same output pin (for example, PMWR and PMENB) are
controlled by the same bit; the configuration depends
on which Master Port mode is being used.
11.3.3
DATA WIDTH
The PMP supports data widths of both 8 bits and
16 bits. The data width is selected by the MODE16 bit
(PMMODEH<2>). Because the data path into and out
of the module is only 8 bits wide, 16-bit operations are
always handled in a multiplexed fashion, with the Least
Significant Byte (LSB) of data being presented first. To
differentiate data bytes, the byte enable control strobe,
PMBE, is used to signal when the Most Significant Byte
(MSB) of data is being presented on the data lines.
11.3.4
ADDRESS MULTIPLEXING
In either of the Master modes (PMMODEH<1:0> = 1x),
the user can configure the address bus to be multiplexed
together with the data bus. This is accomplished by
using the ADRMUX<1:0> bits (PMCONH<4:3>). There
are three address multiplexing modes available; typical
pinout configurations for these modes are displayed in
Figure 11-9, Figure 11-10 and Figure 11-11.
In Demultiplexed mode (PMCONH<4:3> = 00), data and
address information are completely separated. Data bits
are presented on PMD<7:0> and address bits are
presented on PMADDRH<6:0> and PMADDRL<7:0>.
In Partially Multiplexed mode (PMCONH<4:3> = 01), the
lower eight bits of the address are multiplexed with the
data pins on PMD<7:0>. The upper eight bits of address
are unaffected and are presented on PMADDRH<6:0>.
The PMA0 pin is used as an address latch, and presents
the address latch low enable strobe (PMALL). The read
and write sequences are extended by a complete CPU
cycle during which the address is presented on the
PMD<7:0> pins.
In Fully Multiplexed mode (PMCONH<4:3> = 10), the
entire 16 bits of the address are multiplexed with the
data pins on PMD<7:0>. The PMA0 and PMA1 pins are
used to present address latch low enable (PMALL) and
address latch high enable (PMALH) strobes,
respectively. The read and write sequences are
extended by two complete CPU cycles. During the first
cycle, the lower eight bits of the address are presented
on the PMD<7:0> pins with the PMALL strobe active.
During the second cycle, the upper eight bits of the
address are presented on the PMD<7:0> pins with the
PMALH strobe active. In the event the upper address
bits are configured as chip select pins, the
corresponding address bits are automatically forced
to ‘0’.
PMWR, PMBE, PMENB,
individually configured as
polarity. Configuration is
in the PMCONL register.

CHIP SELECT FEATURES
One chip select line, PMCS, is available for the Master
modes of the PMP. The chip select line is multiplexed
with the second Most Significant bit (MSb) of the
address bus (PMADDRH<6>). When configured for
chip select, the PMADDRH<7:6> bits are not included
in any address auto-increment/decrement. The
function of the chip select signal is configured using the
chip select function bits (PMCONL<7:6>).
11.3.6
AUTO-INCREMENT/DECREMENT
While the module is operating in one of the Master
modes, the INCMx bits (PMMODEH<4:3>) control the
behavior of the address value. The address can be
made to automatically increment or decrement after
each read and write operation. The address increments
once each operation is completed and the BUSY bit
goes to ‘0’. If the chip select signals are disabled and
configured as address bits, the bits will participate in
the increment and decrement operations; otherwise,
the CS1 bit values will be unaffected.
11.3.7
WAIT STATES
In Master mode, the user has control over the duration
of the read, write and address cycles by configuring the
module Wait states. Three portions of the cycle, the
beginning, middle and end, are configured using the
corresponding WAITBx, WAITMx and WAITEx bits in
the PMMODEL register.
The WAITBx bits (PMMODEL<7:6>) set the number of
Wait cycles for the data setup prior to the
PMRD/PMWT strobe in Mode 10, or prior to the
PMENB strobe in Mode 11. The WAITMx bits
(PMMODEL<5:2>) set the number of Wait cycles for
the PMRD/PMWT strobe in Mode 10, or for the PMENB
strobe in Mode 11. When this Wait state setting is ‘0’,
then WAITB and WAITE have no effect. The WAITE
bits (PMMODEL<1:0>) define the number of Wait
cycles for the data hold time after the PMRD/PMWT
strobe in Mode 10, or after the PMENB strobe in
Mode 11.
11.3.8
Note that the read data obtained from the PMDIN1L
register is actually the read value from the previous
read operation. Hence, the first user read will be a
dummy read to initiate the first bus read and fill the read
register. Also, the requested read value will not be
ready until after the BUSY bit is observed low. Thus, in
a back-to-back read operation, the data read from the
register will be the same for both reads. The next read
of the register will yield the new value.
11.3.9
WRITE OPERATION
To perform a write onto the parallel bus, the user writes
to the PMDIN1L register. This causes the module to
first output the desired values on the chip select lines
and the address bus. The write data from the PMDIN1L
register is placed onto the PMD<7:0> data bus. Then
the write line (PMWR) is strobed. If the 16-bit mode is
enabled (MODE16 = 1), the write to the PMDIN1L
register will initiate two bus writes. The first write will
consist of the data contained in PMDIN1L and the
second write will contain the PMDIN1H.
11.3.10
11.3.10.1
PARALLEL MASTER PORT STATUS
The BUSY Bit
In addition to the PMP interrupt, a BUSY bit is provided
to indicate the status of the module. This bit is used
only in Master mode. While any read or write operation
is in progress, the BUSY bit is set for all but the very last
CPU cycle of the operation. In effect, if a single-cycle
read or write operation is requested, the BUSY bit will
never be active. This allows back-to-back transfers.
While the bit is set, any request by the user to initiate a
new operation will be ignored (i.e., writing or reading
the lower byte of the PMDIN1L register will neither
initiate a read nor a write).
11.3.10.2
Interrupts
When the PMP module interrupt is enabled for Master
mode, the module will interrupt on every completed
read or write cycle; otherwise, the BUSY bit is available
to query the status of the module.
READ OPERATION
To perform a read on the PMP, the user reads the
PMDIN1L register. This causes the PMP to output the
desired values on the chip select lines and the address
bus. Then the read line (PMRD) is strobed. The read
data is placed into the PMDIN1L register.
If the 16-bit mode is enabled (MODE16 = 1), the read
of the low byte of the PMDIN1L register will initiate two
bus reads. The first read data byte is placed into the
PMDIN1L register, and the second read data is placed
into the PMDIN1H.

This section introduces some potential applications for
the PMP module.
FIGURE 11-27:
Figure 11-27 demonstrates the hookup of a memory or
another addressable peripheral in Full Multiplex mode.
Consequently, this mode achieves the best pin saving
from the microcontroller perspective. However, for this
configuration, there needs to be some external latches
to maintain the address.

12.1
Timer0 Operation
Timer0 can operate as either a timer or a counter. The
mode is selected with the T0CS bit (T0CON<5>). In
Timer mode (T0CS = 0), the module increments on
every clock by default unless a different prescaler value
is selected (see Section 12.3 “Prescaler”). If the
TMR0 register is written to, the increment is inhibited
for the following two instruction cycles. The user can
work around this by writing an adjusted value to the
TMR0 register.
The Counter mode is selected by setting the T0CS bit
(= 1). In this mode, Timer0 increments either on every
rising edge or falling edge of pin, T0CKI. The
incrementing edge is determined by the Timer0 Source
Edge Select bit, T0SE (T0CON<4>); clearing this bit
selects the rising edge. Restrictions on the external
clock input are discussed below.
An external clock source can be used to drive Timer0;
however, it must meet certain requirements to ensure
that the external clock can be synchronized with the
FIGURE 12-1:
internal phase clock (TOSC). There is a delay between
synchronization and the onset of incrementing the
timer/counter.
12.2
Timer0 Reads and Writes in 16-Bit
Mode
TMR0H is not the actual high byte of Timer0 in 16-bit
mode. It is actually a buffered version of the real high
byte of Timer0, which is not directly readable nor
writable (refer to Figure 12-2). TMR0H is updated with
the contents of the high byte of Timer0 during a read of
TMR0L. This provides the ability to read all 16 bits of
Timer0 without having to verify that the read of the high
and low byte were valid, due to a rollover between
successive reads of the high and low byte.
Similarly, a write to the high byte of Timer0 must also
take place through the TMR0H Buffer register. The high
byte is updated with the contents of TMR0H when a
write occurs to TMR0L. This allows all 16 bits of Timer0
to be updated at once.

12.3.1
Prescaler
An 8-bit counter is available as a prescaler for the Timer0
module. The prescaler is not directly readable or writable.
Its value is set by the PSA and T0PS<2:0> bits
(T0CON<3:0>), which determine the prescaler
assignment and prescale ratio.
Clearing the PSA bit assigns the prescaler to the
Timer0 module. When it is assigned, prescale values
from 1:2 through 1:256 in power-of-2 increments are
selectable.
When assigned to the Timer0 module, all instructions
writing to the TMR0 register (e.g., CLRF TMR0, MOVWF

Timer0 Interrupt
The TMR0 interrupt is generated when the TMR0
register overflows from FFh to 00h in 8-bit mode, or
from FFFFh to 0000h in 16-bit mode. This overflow sets
the TMR0IF flag bit. The interrupt can be masked by
clearing the TMR0IE bit (INTCON<5>). Before
re-enabling the interrupt, the TMR0IF bit must be
cleared in software by the Interrupt Service Routine
(ISR).
Since Timer0 is shut down in Sleep mode, the TMR0
interrupt cannot awaken the processor from Sleep.

TIMER1 MODULE
The Timer1 timer/counter module incorporates these
features:
• Software selectable operation as a 16-bit timer or
counter
• Readable and writable 8-bit registers (TMR1H
and TMR1L)
• Selectable clock source (internal or external) with
device clock or Timer1 oscillator internal options
• Interrupt-on-overflow
• Reset on ECCP Special Event Trigger
• Device clock status flag (T1RUN)
• Timer with gated control
REGISTER 13-1:
Figure 13-1 displays a simplified block diagram of the
Timer1 module.
The module incorporates its own low-power oscillator
to provide an additional clocking option. The Timer1
oscillator can also be used as a low-power clock source
for the microcontroller in power-managed operation.
Timer1 is controlled through the T1CON Control
register (Register 13-1). It also contains the Timer1
oscillator Enable bit (T1OSCEN). Timer1 can be
enabled or disabled by setting or clearing control bit,
TMR1ON (T1CON<0>).
The FOSC clock source (TMR1CS<1:0> = 01) should
not be used with the ECCP capture/compare features.
If the timer will be used with the capture or compare
features, always select one of the other timer clocking
options.

Timer1 Operation
INTERNAL CLOCK SOURCE
The Timer1 module is an 8-bit or 16-bit incrementing
counter,
which
is
accessed
through
the
TMR1H:TMR1L register pair.
When the internal clock source is selected, the
TMR1H:TMR1L register pair will increment on multiples
of FOSC as determined by the Timer1 prescaler.
When used with an internal clock source, the module is
a timer and increments on every instruction cycle.
When used with an external clock source, the module
can be used as either a timer or counter and
increments on every selected edge of the external
source.
13.3.2
Timer1 is enabled by configuring the TMR1ON and
TMR1GE bits in the T1CON and T1GCON registers,
respectively.
When Timer1 is enabled, the RC1/T1OSI/RP12 and
RC0/T1OSO/T1CKI/RP11 pins become inputs. This
means the values of TRISC<1:0> are ignored and the
pins are read as ‘0’.
When the external clock source is selected, the Timer1
module may work as a timer or a counter.
When enabled to count, Timer1 is incremented on the
rising edge of the external clock input, T1CKI, or the
capacitive sensing oscillator signal. Either of these
external clock sources can be synchronized to the
microcontroller system clock or they can run
asynchronously.
When used as a timer with a clock oscillator, an
external 32.768 kHz crystal can be used in conjunction
with the dedicated internal oscillator circuit.
Note:
13.3
Clock Source Selection
The TMR1CS<1:0> and T1OSCEN bits of the T1CON
register are used to select the clock source for Timer1.
Register 13-1 displays the clock source selections.
When switching clock sources and using the clock
prescaler, write to TMR1L afterwards to reset the
internal prescaler count to 0.
TABLE 13-1:
EXTERNAL CLOCK SOURCE
In Counter mode, a falling edge must be
registered by the counter prior to the first
incrementing rising edge after any one or
more of the following conditions:
• Timer1 enabled after POR Reset
• Write to TMR1H or TMR1L
• Timer1 is disabled
• Timer1 is disabled (TMR1ON = 0)

Timer1 16-Bit Read/Write Mode
Timer1 can be configured for 16-bit reads and writes.
When the RD16 control bit (T1CON<1>) is set, the
address for TMR1H is mapped to a buffer register for
the high byte of Timer1. A read from TMR1L loads the
contents of the high byte of Timer1 into the Timer1 High
Byte Buffer register. This provides the user with the
ability to accurately read all 16 bits of Timer1 without
having to determine whether a read of the high byte,
followed by a read of the low byte, has become invalid
due to a rollover between reads.
A write to the high byte of Timer1 must also take place
through the TMR1H Buffer register. The Timer1 high
byte is updated with the contents of TMR1H when a
write occurs to TMR1L. This allows a user to write all
16 bits to both the high and low bytes of Timer1 at once.
The high byte of Timer1 is not directly readable or
writable in this mode. All reads and writes must take
place through the Timer1 High Byte Buffer register.
Writes to TMR1H do not clear the Timer1 prescaler.
The prescaler is only cleared on writes to TMR1L.
13.5
Timer1 Oscillator
An on-chip crystal oscillator circuit is incorporated
between pins, T1OSI (input) and T1OSO (amplifier
output). It is enabled by setting the Timer1 Oscillator
Enable bit, T1OSCEN (T1CON<3>). The oscillator is a
low-power circuit rated for 32 kHz crystals. It will
continue to run during all power-managed modes. The
circuit for a typical LP oscillator is depicted in
Figure 13-2. Table 13-2 provides the capacitor selection
for the Timer1 oscillator.
The user must provide a software time delay to ensure
proper start-up of the Timer1 oscillator.

2: Higher capacitance increases the stability of the oscillator but also increases the
start-up time.

characteristics, the user should consult
the resonator/crystal manufacturer for
appropriate
values
of
external
components.
4: Capacitor values are for design
guidance only. Values listed would be
typical of a CL = 10 pF rated crystal,
when LPT1OSC = 1.
5: Incorrect capacitance value may result in
a frequency not meeting the crystal
manufacturer’s tolerance specification.
The Timer1 crystal oscillator drive level is determined
based on the LPT1OSC (CONFIG2L<4>) Configuration bit. The higher drive level mode, LPT1OSC = 1, is
intended to drive a wide variety of 32.768 kHz crystals
with a variety of load capacitance (CL) ratings.
The lower drive level mode is highly optimized for
extremely low-power consumption. It is not intended to
drive all types of 32.768 kHz crystals. In the low drive
level mode, the crystal oscillator circuit may not work if
excessively large discrete capacitors are placed on the
T1OSI and T1OSO pins. This mode is only designed to
work with discrete capacitances of approximately
3 pF-10 pF on each pin.
Crystal manufacturers usually specify a CL (load
capacitance) rating for their crystals. This value is
related to, but not necessarily the same as, the values
that should be used for C1 and C2 in Figure 13-2. See
the crystal manufacturer’s applications’ information for
more details on how to select the optimum C1 and C2
for a given crystal. The optimum value depends in part
on the amount of parasitic capacitance in the circuit,
which is often unknown. Therefore, after values have
been selected, it is highly recommended that thorough
testing and validation of the oscillator be performed.

13.5.1
USING TIMER1 AS A
CLOCK SOURCE
FIGURE 13-3:
The Timer1 oscillator is also available as a clock source
in power-managed modes. By setting the clock select
bits, SCS<1:0> (OSCCON<1:0>), to ‘01’, the device
switches to SEC_RUN mode; both the CPU and
peripherals are clocked from the Timer1 oscillator. If the
IDLEN bit (OSCCON<7>) is cleared and a SLEEP
instruction is executed, the device enters SEC_IDLE
mode. Additional details are available in Section 4.0
“Low-Power Modes”.
Whenever the Timer1 oscillator is providing the clock
source, the Timer1 system clock status flag, T1RUN
(TCLKCON<4>), is set. This can be used to determine
the controller’s current clocking mode. It can also
indicate the clock source currently being used by the
Fail-Safe Clock Monitor. If the Clock Monitor is enabled
and the Timer1 oscillator fails while providing the clock,
polling the T1RUN bit will indicate whether the clock is
being provided by the Timer1 oscillator or another
source.
13.5.2
TIMER1 OSCILLATOR LAYOUT
CONSIDERATIONS
The Timer1 oscillator circuit draws very little power
during operation. Due to the low-power nature of the
oscillator, it may also be sensitive to rapidly changing
signals in close proximity. This is especially true when
the oscillator is configured for extremely low power
mode (LPT1OSC = 0).
The oscillator circuit, displayed in Figure 13-2, should
be located as close as possible to the microcontroller.
There should be no circuits passing within the oscillator
circuit boundaries other than VSS or VDD.
If a high-speed circuit must be located near the
oscillator (such as the ECCP1 pin in Output Compare
or PWM mode, or the primary oscillator using the
OSC2 pin), a grounded guard ring around the oscillator
circuit, as displayed in Figure 13-3, may be helpful
when used on a single-sided PCB or in addition to a
ground plane.

Note: Not drawn to scale.
In the low drive level mode, LPT1OSC = 0, it is critical
that RC2 I/O pin signals be kept away from the oscillator
circuit. Configuring RC2 as a digital output, and toggling
it, can potentially disturb the oscillator circuit, even with
relatively good PCB layout. If possible, it is recommended to either leave RC2 unused, or use it as an input
pin with a slew rate limited signal source. If RC2 must be
used as a digital output, it may be necessary to use the
higher drive level oscillator mode (LPT1OSC = 1) with
many PCB layouts. Even in the higher drive level mode,
careful layout procedures should still be followed when
designing the oscillator circuit.
In addition to dV/dt induced noise considerations, it is
also important to ensure that the circuit board is clean.
Even a very small amount of conductive soldering flux
residue can cause PCB leakage currents, which can
overwhelm the oscillator circuit.
13.6
Timer1 Interrupt
The TMR1 register pair (TMR1H:TMR1L) increments
from 0000h to FFFFh and rolls over to 0000h. The
Timer1 interrupt, if enabled, is generated on overflow
which is latched in interrupt flag bit, TMR1IF
(PIR1<0>). This interrupt can be enabled or disabled
by setting or clearing the Timer1 Interrupt Enable bit,
TMR1IE (PIE1<0>).
DS39932D-page 207
PIC18F46J11 FAMILY
13.7
Resetting Timer1 Using the ECCP
Special Event Trigger
If ECCP1 or ECCP2 is configured to use Timer1 and to
generate a Special Event Trigger in Compare mode
(CCPxM<3:0> = 1011), this signal will reset Timer3.
The trigger from ECCP2 will also start an A/D conversion if the A/D module is enabled (see Section 18.3.4
“Special Event Trigger” for more information).
The module must be configured as either a timer or a
synchronous counter to take advantage of this feature.
When used this way, the CCPRxH:CCPRxL register
pair effectively becomes a Period register for Timer1.
If Timer1 is running in Asynchronous Counter mode,
this Reset operation may not work.
In the event that a write to Timer1 coincides with a
Special Event Trigger, the write operation will take
precedence.
Note:
13.8
The Special Event Trigger from the
ECCPx module will not set the TMR1IF
interrupt flag bit (PIR1<0>).

TIMER1 GATE COUNT ENABLE
The Timer1 Gate Enable mode is enabled by setting
the TMR1GE bit of the T1GCON register. The polarity

the T1GPOL bit of the T1GCON register.
When Timer1 Gate Enable mode is enabled, Timer1
will increment on the rising edge of the Timer1 clock
source. When Timer1 Gate Enable mode is disabled,
no incrementing will occur and Timer1 will hold the
current count. See Figure 13-4 for timing details.

TIMER1 GATE SINGLE PULSE
MODE
When Timer1 Gate Single Pulse mode is enabled, it is
possible to capture a single pulse gate event. Timer1
Gate Single Pulse mode is first enabled by setting the
T1GSPM bit in the T1GCON register. Next, the
T1GGO/T1DONE bit in the T1GCON register must be
set. The Timer1 will be fully enabled on the next incrementing edge. On the next trailing edge of the pulse,
the T1GGO/T1DONE bit will automatically be cleared.
No other gate events will be allowed to increment
Timer1 until the T1GGO/T1DONE bit is once again set
in software.
FIGURE 13-6:
Clearing the T1GSPM bit of the T1GCON register will
also clear the T1GGO/T1DONE bit. See Figure 13-6
for timing details.
Enabling the Toggle mode and the Single Pulse mode,
simultaneously, will permit both sections to work together.
This allows the cycle times on the Timer1 gate source to
be measured. See Figure 13-7 for timing details.
13.8.5
TIMER1 GATE VALUE STATUS
When the Timer1 gate value status is utilized, it is

TIMER2 MODULE
14.1
Timer2 Operation
• 8-bit Timer and Period registers (TMR2 and PR2,
respectively)
• Readable and writable (both registers)
• Software programmable prescaler
(1:1, 1:4 and 1:16)
• Software programmable postscaler
(1:1 through 1:16)
• Interrupt on TMR2 to PR2 match
• Optional use as the shift clock for the
MSSP modules
In normal operation, TMR2 is incremented from 00h on
each clock (FOSC/4). A 4-bit counter/prescaler on the
clock input gives direct input, divide-by-4 and
divide-by-16 prescale options. These are selected by
the
prescaler
control
bits,
T2CKPS<1:0>
(T2CON<1:0>). The value of TMR2 is compared to that
of the Period register, PR2, on each clock cycle. When
the two values match, the comparator generates a
match signal as the timer output. This signal also resets
the value of TMR2 to 00h on the next cycle and drives
the output counter/postscaler (see Section 14.2
“Timer2 Interrupt”).
The module is controlled through the T2CON register
(Register 14-1) which enables or disables the timer and
configures the prescaler and postscaler. Timer2 can be
shut off by clearing control bit, TMR2ON (T2CON<2>),
to minimize power consumption.
The TMR2 and PR2 registers are both directly readable
and writable. The TMR2 register is cleared on any
device Reset, while the PR2 register initializes at FFh.
Both the prescaler and postscaler counters are cleared
on the following events:
A simplified block diagram of the module is shown in
Figure 14-1.
• a write to the TMR2 register
• a write to the T2CON register
• any device Reset (Power-on Reset (POR), MCLR
Reset, Watchdog Timer Reset (WDTR) or
Brown-out Reset (BOR))
The Timer2 module incorporates the following features:
TMR2 is not cleared when T2CON is written.

Timer2 Interrupt
14.3
Timer2 can also generate an optional device interrupt.
The Timer2 output signal (TMR2 to PR2 match) provides the input for the 4-bit output counter/postscaler.
This counter generates the TMR2 Match Interrupt Flag,
which is latched in TMR2IF (PIR1<1>). The interrupt is
enabled by setting the TMR2 Match Interrupt Enable
bit, TMR2IE (PIE1<1>).
Timer2 Output
The unscaled output of TMR2 is available primarily to
the ECCP modules, where it is used as a time base for
operations in PWM mode.
Timer2 can be optionally used as the shift clock source
for the MSSP modules operating in SPI mode.
Additional information is provided in Section 19.0
“Master Synchronous Serial Port (MSSP) Module”.
A range of 16 postscaler options (from 1:1 through 1:16
inclusive) can be selected with the postscaler control
bits, T2OUTPS<3:0> (T2CON<6:3>).

The operating mode is determined by the clock select
bits, TMR3CSx (T3CON<7:6>). When the TMR3CSx bits
are cleared (= 00), Timer3 increments on every internal
instruction cycle (FOSC/4). When TMR3CSx = 01, the
Timer3 clock source is the system clock (FOSC), and
when it is ‘10’, Timer3 works as a counter from the
external clock from the T3CKI pin (on the rising edge
after the first falling edge) or the Timer1 oscillator.

The Timer1 oscillator is described in Section 13.0
“Timer1 Module”.
Timer3 16-Bit Read/Write Mode
Timer3 can be configured for 16-bit reads and writes
(see Section 15.3 “Timer3 16-Bit Read/Write
Mode”). When the RD16 control bit (T3CON<1>) is
set, the address for TMR3H is mapped to a buffer register for the high byte of Timer3. A read from TMR3L
will load the contents of the high byte of Timer3 into the
Timer3 High Byte Buffer register. This provides the user
with the ability to accurately read all 16 bits of Timer3
without having to determine whether a read of the high
byte, followed by a read of the low byte, has become
invalid due to a rollover between reads.
15.5
Timer3 Gate
Timer3 can be configured to count freely, or the count
can be enabled and disabled using Timer3 gate
circuitry. This is also referred to as Timer3 gate count
enable.
Timer3 gate can also be driven by multiple selectable
sources.
15.5.1
A write to the high byte of Timer3 must also take place
through the TMR3H Buffer register. The Timer3 high
byte is updated with the contents of TMR3H when a
write occurs to TMR3L. This allows a user to write all
16 bits to both the high and low bytes of Timer3 at once.
TIMER3 GATE COUNT ENABLE
The Timer3 Gate Enable mode is enabled by setting
the TMR3GE bit of the T3GCON register. The polarity
of the Timer3 Gate Enable mode is configured using
the T3GPOL bit of the T3GCON register.
When Timer3 Gate Enable mode is enabled, Timer3
will increment on the rising edge of the Timer3 clock
source. When Timer3 Gate Enable mode is disabled,
no incrementing will occur and Timer3 will hold the
current count. See Figure 15-2 for timing details.
The high byte of Timer3 is not directly readable or
writable in this mode. All reads and writes must take
place through the Timer3 High Byte Buffer register.
Writes to TMR3H do not clear the Timer3 prescaler.
The prescaler is only cleared on writes to TMR3L.

The Timer1 internal oscillator may be used as the clock
source for Timer3. The Timer1 oscillator is enabled by
setting the T1OSCEN (T1CON<3>) bit. To use it as the
Timer3 clock source, the TMR3CS bit must also be set.
As previously noted, this also configures Timer3 to
increment on every rising edge of the oscillator source.

The Timer3 gate source can be selected from one of
four different sources. Source selection is controlled by
the T3GSSx bits of the T3GCON register. The polarity
for each available source is also selectable. Polarity

15.5.2.3
Timer2 Match Gate Operation
The TMR2 register will increment until it matches the
value in the PR2 register. On the very next increment
cycle, TMR2 will be reset to 00h. When this Reset
occurs, a low-to-high pulse will automatically be
generated and internally supplied to the Timer3 gate
circuitry.
15.5.3
TIMER3 GATE TOGGLE MODE
When Timer3 Gate Toggle mode is enabled, it is
possible to measure the full cycle length of a Timer3
gate signal, as opposed to the duration of a single level
pulse.
The Timer1 gate source is routed through a flip-flop that
changes state on every incrementing edge of the
signal. See Figure 15-3 for timing details.
The T3GVAL bit will indicate when the Toggled mode is
active and the timer is counting.
Timer3 Gate Toggle mode is enabled by setting the
T3GTM bit of the T3GCON register. When the T3GTM
bit is cleared, the flip-flop is cleared and held clear. This
is necessary in order to control which edge is
measured.
Timer0 Overflow Gate Operation
When Timer0 increments from FFh to 00h, a
low-to-high pulse will automatically be generated and
internally supplied to the Timer3 gate circuitry.

TIMER3 GATE SINGLE PULSE
MODE
When Timer3 Gate Single Pulse mode is enabled, it is
possible to capture a single pulse gate event. Timer3
Gate Single Pulse mode is first enabled by setting the
T3GSPM bit in the T3GCON register. Next, the
T3GGO/T3DONE bit in the T3GCON register must be
set.
The Timer3 will be fully enabled on the next incrementing edge. On the next trailing edge of the pulse, the
T3GGO/T3DONE bit will automatically be cleared. No
FIGURE 15-4:
other gate events will be allowed to increment Timer3
until the T3GGO/T3DONE bit is once again set in
software.
Clearing the T3GSPM bit of the T3GCON register will
also clear the T3GGO/T3DONE bit. See Figure 15-4
for timing details.
Enabling the Toggle mode and the Single Pulse mode,
simultaneously, will permit both sections to work
together. This allows the cycle times on the Timer3 gate
source to be measured. See Figure 15-5 for timing
details.

occurs, the TMR3GIF flag bit in the PIR3 register will be
set. If the TMR3GIE bit in the PIE3 register is set, then
an interrupt will be recognized.

Timer3 Interrupt
The TMR3 register pair (TMR3H:TMR3L) increments
from 0000h to FFFFh and overflows to 0000h. The
Timer3 interrupt, if enabled, is generated on overflow
and is latched in interrupt flag bit, TMR3IF (PIR2<1>).
This interrupt can be enabled or disabled by setting or
clearing the Timer3 Interrupt Enable bit, TMR3IE
(PIE2<1>).
15.7
Resetting Timer3 Using the ECCP
Special Event Trigger
If ECCP1 or ECCP2 is configured to use Timer3 and to
generate a Special Event Trigger in Compare mode
(CCPxM<3:0> = 1011), this signal will reset Timer3.
TABLE 15-3:
Name
The trigger from ECCP2 will also start an A/D conversion if the A/D module is enabled (see Section 18.3.4
“Special Event Trigger” for more information).
The module must be configured as either a timer or
synchronous counter to take advantage of this feature.
When used this way, the CCPRxH:CCPRxL register
pair effectively becomes a Period register for Timer3.
If Timer3 is running in Asynchronous Counter mode,
the Reset operation may not work.
In the event that a write to Timer3 coincides with a
Special Event Trigger from an ECCP module, the write
will take precedence.
Note:
The Special Event Triggers from the
ECCPx module will not set the TMR3IF
interrupt flag bit (PIR1<0>).

TIMER4 MODULE
16.1
The Timer4 timer module has the following features:
•
•
•
•
•
•
8-Bit Timer register (TMR4)
8-Bit Period register (PR4)
Readable and writable (both registers)
Software programmable prescaler (1:1, 1:4, 1:16)
Software programmable postscaler (1:1 to 1:16)
Interrupt on TMR4 match of PR4
Timer4 has a control register shown in Register 16-1.
Timer4 can be shut off by clearing control bit, TMR4ON
(T4CON<2>), to minimize power consumption. The
prescaler and postscaler selection of Timer4 is also
controlled by this register. Figure 16-1 is a simplified
block diagram of the Timer4 module.
Timer4 Operation
Timer4 can be used as the PWM time base for the
PWM mode of the ECCP modules. The TMR4 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,
T4CKPS<1:0> (T4CON<1:0>). The match output of
TMR4 goes through a 4-bit postscaler (which gives a
1:1 to 1:16 scaling inclusive) to generate a TMR4
interrupt, latched in flag bit, TMR4IF (PIR3<3>).
The prescaler and postscaler counters are cleared
when any of the following occurs:
• a write to the TMR4 register
• a write to the T4CON register
• any device Reset (Power-on Reset (POR), MCLR
Reset, Watchdog Timer Reset (WDTR) or
Brown-out Reset (BOR))
TMR4 is not cleared when T4CON is written.

Timer4 Interrupt
16.3
The Timer4 module has an 8-bit Period register, PR4,
which is both readable and writable. Timer4 increments
from 00h until it matches PR4 and then resets to 00h on
the next increment cycle. The PR4 register is initialized
to FFh upon Reset.
FIGURE 16-1:
Output of TMR4
The output of TMR4 (before the postscaler) is used
only as a PWM time base for the ECCP modules. It is
not used as a baud rate clock for the MSSP modules as
is the Timer2 output.

RTCEN BIT WRITE
17.2
An attempt to write to the RTCEN bit while
RTCWREN = 0 will be ignored. RTCWREN must be
set before a write to RTCEN can take place.
Like the RTCEN bit, the RTCVALH<15:8> and
RTCVALL<7:0> registers can only be written to when
RTCWREN = 1. A write to these registers, while
RTCWREN = 0, will be ignored.
FIGURE 17-2:
FIGURE 17-3:
The register interface for the RTCC and alarm values is
implemented using the Binary Coded Decimal (BCD)
format. This simplifies the firmware, when using the
module, as each of the digits is contained within its own
4-bit value (see Figure 17-2 and Figure 17-3).

CLOCK SOURCE
As mentioned earlier, the RTCC module is intended to
be clocked by an external Real-Time Clock crystal
oscillating at 32.768 kHz, but also can be clocked by
the INTRC oscillator. The RTCC clock selection is
decided by the RTCOSC bit (CONFIG3L<1>).
FIGURE 17-4:
Calibration of the crystal can be done through this
module to yield an error of 3 seconds or less per month.
(For further details, see Section 17.2.9 “Calibration”.)

Writing to the lower half of the MINSEC register resets all counters, allowing fraction of a second synchronization;
the clock prescaler is held in Reset when RTCEN = 0.
Real-Time Clock Enable
For the day to month rollover schedule, see Table 17-2.
The RTCC module can be clocked by an external,
32.768 kHz crystal (Timer1 oscillator) or the INTRC
oscillator, which can be selected in CONFIG3L<1>.
Considering that the following values are in BCD
format, the carry to the upper BCD digit will occur at a
count of 10 and not at 16 (SECONDS, MINUTES,
HOURS, WEEKDAY, DAYS and MONTHS).
If the Timer1 oscillator will be used as the clock source
for the RTCC, make sure to enable it by setting
T1CON<3> (T1OSCEN). The selected clock can be
brought out to the RTCC pin by the RTSECSEL<1:0>
bits in the PADCFG1 register.
17.2.3
DIGIT CARRY RULES
This section explains which timer values are affected
when there is a rollover.
• Time of Day: From 23:59:59 to 00:00:00 with a
carry to the Day field
• Month: From 12/31 to 01/01 with a carry to the
Year field
• Day of Week: From 6 to 0 with no carry (see
Table 17-1)
• Year Carry: From 99 to 00; this also surpasses the
use of the RTCC

SAFETY WINDOW FOR REGISTER
READS AND WRITES
The RTCSYNC bit indicates a time window during
which the RTCC Clock Domain registers can be safely
read and written without concern about a rollover.
When RTCSYNC = 0, the registers can be safely
accessed by the CPU.
Whether RTCSYNC = 1 or 0, the user should employ a
firmware solution to ensure that the data read did not
fall on a rollover boundary, resulting in an invalid or
partial read. This firmware solution would consist of
reading each register twice and then comparing the two
values. If the two values matched, then, a rollover did
not occur.

In order to perform a write to any of the RTCC Timer
registers, the RTCWREN bit (RTCCFG<5>) must be
set.
Note 1:
17.2.4
See Section 17.2.4 “Leap Year”.
LEAP YEAR
Since the year range on the RTCC module is 2000 to
2099, the leap year calculation is determined by any
year divisible by ‘4’ in the above range. Only February
is effected in a leap year.
February will have 29 days in a leap year and 28 days in
any other year.
17.2.5
GENERAL FUNCTIONALITY
All Timer registers containing a time value of seconds or
greater are writable. The user configures the time by
writing the required year, month, day, hour, minutes and
seconds to the Timer registers, via Register Pointers
(see Section 17.2.8 “Register Mapping”).
The timer uses the newly written values and proceeds
with the count from the required starting point.
The RTCC is enabled by setting the RTCEN bit
(RTCCFG<7>). If enabled, while adjusting these
registers, the timer still continues to increment. However,
any time the MINSEC register is written to, both of the
timer prescalers are reset to ‘0’. This allows fraction of a
second synchronization.
The Timer registers are updated in the same cycle as
the write instruction’s execution by the CPU. The user
must ensure that when RTCEN = 1, the updated
registers will not be incremented at the same time. This
can be accomplished in several ways:
• By checking the RTCSYNC bit (RTCCFG<4>)
• By checking the preceding digits from which a
carry can occur
• By updating the registers immediately following
the seconds pulse (or alarm interrupt)
WRITE LOCK
To avoid accidental writes to the RTCC Timer register,
it is recommended that the RTCWREN bit
(RTCCFG<5>) be kept clear at any time other than
while writing to. For the RTCWREN bit to be set, there
is only one instruction cycle time window allowed
between the 55h/AA sequence and the setting of
RTCWREN. For that reason, it is recommended that
users follow the code example in Example 17-1.

REGISTER MAPPING
To limit the register interface, the RTCC Timer and
Alarm Timer registers are accessed through
corresponding register pointers. The RTCC Value register window (RTCVALH and RTCVALL) uses the
RTCPTR bits (RTCCFG<1:0>) to select the required
Timer register pair.
By reading or writing to the RTCVALH register, the
RTCC Pointer value (RTCPTR<1:0>) decrements by 1
until it reaches ‘00’. Once it reaches ‘00’, the MINUTES
and SECONDS value will be accessible through
RTCVALH and RTCVALL until the pointer value is
manually changed.
The user has visibility to the half-second field of the
counter. This value is read-only and can be reset only
by writing to the lower half of the SECONDS register.

CALIBRATION
CONVERTING ERROR
CLOCK PULSES
(Ideal Frequency (32,768) – Measured Frequency) *
The Alarm Value register window (ALRMVALH and
ALRMVALL) uses the ALRMPTR bits (ALRMCFG<1:0>)
to select the desired Alarm register pair.
TABLE 17-4:
Use another timer resource on the device to find
the error of the 32.768 kHz crystal.
Convert the number of error clock pulses per
minute (see Equation 17-1).
• If the oscillator is faster than ideal (negative
result from step 2), the RTCCALL register value
needs to be negative. This causes the specified
number of clock pulses to be subtracted from
the timer counter once every minute.
• If the oscillator is slower than ideal (positive
result from step 2), the RTCCALL register value
needs to be positive. This causes the specified
number of clock pulses to be added to the timer
counter once every minute.
Load the RTCCAL register with the correct
value.
Writes to the RTCCAL register should occur only when
the timer is turned off, or immediately after the rising
edge of the seconds pulse.
Note:
In determining the crystal’s error value, it
is the user’s responsibility to include the
crystal’s initial error from drift due to
temperature or crystal aging.
The real-time crystal input can be calibrated using the
periodic auto-adjust feature. When properly calibrated,
the RTCC can provide an error of less than three
seconds per month.
To perform this calibration, find the number of error
clock pulses and store the value in the lower half of the
RTCCAL register. The 8-bit, signed value – loaded into
RTCCAL – is multiplied by ‘4’ and will either be added
or subtracted from the RTCC timer, once every minute.

The alarm can also be configured to repeat based on a
preconfigured interval. The number of times this occurs
after the alarm is enabled is stored in the ALRMRPT
register.
Alarm
The alarm features and characteristics are:
• Configurable from half a second to one year
• Enabled using the ALRMEN bit (ALRMCFG<7>,
Register 17-4)
• Offers one-time and repeat alarm options
17.3.1
While the alarm is enabled (ALRMEN =
1), changing any of the registers – other
than the RTCCAL, ALRMCFG and ALRMRPT registers and the CHIME bit – can
result in a false alarm event leading to a
false alarm interrupt. To avoid this, only
change the timer and alarm values while
the alarm is disabled (ALRMEN = 0). It is
recommended that the ALRMCFG and
ALRMRPT registers and CHIME bit be
changed when RTCSYNC = 0.
Note:
CONFIGURING THE ALARM
The alarm feature is enabled using the ALRMEN bit.
This bit is cleared when an alarm is issued. The bit will
not be cleared if the CHIME bit = 1 or if ALRMRPT  0.
The interval selection of the alarm is configured
through the ALRMCFG bits (AMASK<3:0>). (See
Figure 17-5.) These bits determine which and how
many digits of the alarm must match the clock value for
the alarm to occur.

When ALRMCFG = 00 and the CHIME bit = 0
(ALRMCFG<6>), the repeat function is disabled and
only a single alarm will occur. The alarm can be
repeated up to 255 times by loading the ALRMRPT
register with FFh.
After each alarm is issued, the ALRMRPT register is
decremented by one. Once the register has reached
‘00’, the alarm will be issued one last time.
After the alarm is issued a last time, the ALRMEN bit is
cleared automatically and the alarm turned off. Indefinite
repetition of the alarm can occur if the CHIME bit = 1.
When CHIME = 1, the alarm is not disabled when the
ALRMRPT register reaches ‘00’, but it rolls over to FF
and continues counting indefinitely.
17.3.2
ALARM INTERRUPT
At every alarm event, an interrupt is generated. Additionally, an alarm pulse output is provided that operates
at half the frequency of the alarm.
The alarm pulse output is completely synchronous with
the RTCC clock and can be used as a trigger clock to
other peripherals. This output is available on the RTCC
pin. The output pulse is a clock with a 50% duty cycle
and a frequency half that of the alarm event (see
Figure 17-6).
The RTCC pin also can output the seconds clock. The
user can select between the alarm pulse, generated by
the RTCC module, or the seconds clock output.
The RTSECSEL (PADCFG1<1:0>) bits select between
these two outputs:
• Alarm pulse – RTSECSEL<1:0> = 00
• Seconds clock – RTSECSEL<1:0> = 0

POWER-ON RESET (POR)
The timer and alarm can optionally continue to operate

The RTCCFG and ALRMRPT registers are reset only
on a POR. Once the device exits the POR state, the
clock registers should be reloaded with the desired
values.

The timer prescaler values can be reset only by writing
to the SECONDS register. No device Reset can affect
the prescalers.

DEVICE RESET
When a device Reset occurs, the ALRMCFG and

causing the alarm to be disabled (if enabled prior to the
Reset). If the RTCC was enabled, it will continue to
operate when a basic device Reset occurs.

ENHANCED
CAPTURE/COMPARE/PWM
(ECCP) MODULE
PIC18F46J11 family devices have two Enhanced
Capture/Compare/PWM (ECCP) modules: ECCP1 and
ECCP2. These modules contain a 16-bit register, which
can operate as a 16-bit Capture register, a 16-bit
Compare register or a PWM Master/Slave Duty Cycle
register. These ECCP modules are upward compatible
with CCP
Note:
Register and bit names referencing one of
the two ECCP modules substitute an ‘x’
for the module number. For example, registers CCP1CON and CCP2CON, which
have the same definitions, are called
CCPxCON. Figures and diagrams use
ECCP1-based names, but those names
also apply to ECCP2, with a “2” replacing
the illustration name’s “1”.
When writing firmware, the “x” in register
and bit names must be replaced with the
appropriate module number.
 2011 Microchip Technology Inc.
ECCP1 and ECCP2 are implemented as standard CCP
modules with enhanced PWM capabilities. These
include:
•
•
•
•
•
Provision for two or four output channels
Output Steering modes
Programmable polarity
Programmable dead-band control
Automatic shutdown and restart
The enhanced features are discussed in detail in
Section 18.5 “PWM (Enhanced Mode)”.
Note:
PxA, PxB, PxC and PxD are associated
with the remappable pins (RPn).

PIC18F46J11 FAMILY
In addition to the expanded range of modes available
through the CCPxCON and ECCPxAS registers, the
ECCP modules have two additional registers associated
with Enhanced PWM operation and auto-shutdown
features. They are:
• ECCPxDEL (Enhanced PWM Control)
• PSTRxCON (Pulse Steering Control)
18.1
ECCP Outputs and Configuration
The Enhanced CCP module may have up to four PWM
outputs, depending on the selected operating mode.
These outputs, designated PxA through PxD, are
routed through the Peripheral Pin Select (PPS)
module. Therefore, individual functions may be
mapped to any of the remappable I/O pins, RPn. The
outputs that are active depend on the ECCP operating
mode selected. The pin assignments are summarized
in Table 18-4.
To configure the I/O pins as PWM outputs, the proper
PWM mode must be selected by setting the PxM<1:0>
and CCPxM<3:0> bits. The appropriate TRIS direction
bits for the port pins must also be set as outputs and the
output functions need to be assigned to I/O pins in the
PPS module. (For details on configuring the module,
see Section 10.7 “Peripheral Pin Select (PPS)”.)
18.1.1
ECCP MODULE AND TIMER
RESOURCES
The ECCP modules utilize Timers 1, 2, 3 or 4, depending
on the mode selected. Timer1 and Timer3 are available
to modules in Capture or Compare modes, while Timer2
and Timer4 are available for modules in PWM mode.
TABLE 18-1:
ECCP MODE – TIMER
RESOURCE
ECCP Mode
Timer Resource
Capture
Timer1 or Timer3
Compare

Timer2 or Timer4
The assignment of a particular timer to a module is
determined by the Timer-to-ECCP enable bits in the
TCLKCON register (Register 13-3). The interactions
between the two modules are depicted in Figure 18-1.
Capture operations are designed to be used when the
timer is configured for Synchronous Counter mode.
Capture operations may not work as expected if the
associated timer is configured for Asynchronous Counter
mode.
 2011 Microchip Technology Inc.
18.2
Capture Mode
In Capture mode, the CCPRxH:CCPRxL register pair
captures the 16-bit value of the TMR1 or TMR3
registers when an event occurs on the corresponding
ECCPx pin. An event is defined as one of the following:
•
•
•
•
Every falling edge
Every rising edge
Every 4th rising edge
Every 16th rising edge
The event is selected by the mode select bits,
CCPxM<3:0>, of the CCPxCON register. When a
capture is made, the interrupt request flag bit, CCPxIF,
is set; it must be cleared by software. If another capture
occurs before the value in register CCPRx is read, the
old captured value is overwritten by the new captured
value.
18.2.1
ECCP PIN CONFIGURATION
In Capture mode, the appropriate ECCPx pin should be
configured as an input by setting the corresponding
TRIS direction bit.
Additionally, the ECCPx input function needs to be
assigned to an I/O pin through the Peripheral Pin
Select module. For details on setting up the
remappable pins, see Section 10.7 “Peripheral Pin
Select (PPS)”.
Note:
18.2.2
If the ECCPx pin is configured as an output, a write to the port can cause a capture
condition.
TIMER1/TIMER3 MODE SELECTION
The timers that are to be used with the capture feature
(Timer1 and/or Timer3) must be running in Timer mode
or Synchronized Counter mode. In Asynchronous
Counter mode, the capture operation may not work.
The timer to be used with each ECCP module is
selected in the TCLKCON register (Register 13-3).
18.2.3
SOFTWARE INTERRUPT
When the Capture mode is changed, a false capture
interrupt may be generated. The user should keep the
CCPxIE interrupt enable bit clear to avoid false interrupts.
The interrupt flag bit, CCPxIF, should also be cleared
following any such change in operating mode.
DS39932D-page 249
PIC18F46J11 FAMILY
18.2.4
ECCP PRESCALER
recommended method for switching between capture
prescalers. This example also clears the prescaler
counter and will not generate the “false” interrupt.
There are four prescaler settings in Capture mode; they
are specified as part of the operating mode selected by
the mode select bits (CCPxM<3:0>). Whenever the
ECCP module is turned off, or Capture mode is disabled, the prescaler counter is cleared. This means
that any Reset will clear the prescaler counter.
EXAMPLE 18-1:
CLRF
MOVLW
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 18-1 provides the

TIMER1/TIMER3 MODE SELECTION
In Compare mode, the 16-bit CCPRx register value is
constantly compared against either the TMR1 or TMR3
register pair value. When a match occurs, the ECCPx
pin can be:
Timer1 and/or Timer3 must be running in Timer mode
or Synchronized Counter mode if the ECCP module is
using the compare feature. In Asynchronous Counter
mode, the compare operation will not work reliably.

Remain unchanged (that is, reflects the state of
the I/O latch)
The action on the pin is based on the value of the mode
select bits (CCPxM<3:0>). At the same time, the
interrupt flag bit, CCPxIF, is set.
18.3.1
ECCP PIN CONFIGURATION
Users must configure the ECCPx pin as an output by
clearing the appropriate TRIS bit.
Note:
Clearing the CCPxCON register will force
the ECCPx compare output latch
(depending on device configuration) to the
default low level. This is not the PORTx
I/O data latch.
FIGURE 18-2:
SOFTWARE INTERRUPT MODE
When the Generate Software Interrupt mode is chosen
(CCPxM<3:0> = 1010), the ECCPx pin is not affected;
only the CCPxIF interrupt flag is affected.
18.3.4
SPECIAL EVENT TRIGGER
The ECCP module is equipped with a Special Event
Trigger. This is an internal hardware signal generated
in Compare mode to trigger actions by other modules.
The Special Event Trigger is enabled by selecting
the Compare Special Event Trigger mode
(CCPxM<3:0> = 1011).
The Special Event Trigger resets the Timer register pair
for whichever timer resource is currently assigned as the
module’s time base. This allows the CCPRx registers to
serve as a programmable period register for either timer.
The Special Event Trigger can also start an A/D conversion. In order to do this, the A/D converter must already
be enabled.

PWM Mode
In Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) mode, the CCPx pin
produces up to a 10-bit resolution PWM output.
Clearing the CCPxCON register will force
the output latch (depending on device
configuration) to the default low level. This
is not the LATx data latch.
Note:
Figure 18-3 shows a simplified block diagram of the
CCP module in PWM mode.
For a step-by-step procedure on how to set up a CCP
module for PWM operation, see Section 18.4.3
“Setup for PWM Operation”.

Duty Cycle
The two LSbs of the Duty Cycle register are held by a
2-bit latch that is part of the module’s hardware. It is
physically separate from the CCPRx registers.
A PWM output (Figure 18-4) 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).

18.4.2
The Timer2 and Timer 4 postscalers (see
Section 14.0 “Timer2 Module” and
Section 16.0 “Timer4 Module”) are not
used in the determination of the PWM
frequency. The postscaler could be used
to have a servo update rate at a different
frequency than the PWM output.
PWM DUTY CYCLE
The PWM duty cycle is specified by writing to the
CCPRxL register and to the CCPxCON<5:4> bits. Up
to 10-bit resolution is available. The CCPRxL contains
the eight MSbs and the CCPxCON<5:4> contains the
two LSbs. This 10-bit value is represented by
CCPRxL:CCPxCON<5:4>. Equation 18-2 is used to
calculate the PWM duty cycle in time.
EQUATION 18-2:
PWM Duty Cycle = (CCPRXL:CCPXCON<5:4>) •
TOSC • (TMR2 Prescale Value)
CCPRxL and CCPxCON<5:4> can be written to at any
time, but the duty cycle value is not latched into
CCPRxH until after a match between PR2 (PR4) and
TMR2 (TMR4) occurs (i.e., the period is complete). In
PWM mode, CCPRxH is a read-only register.

The CCPRxH register and a 2-bit internal latch are
used to double-buffer the PWM duty cycle. This
double-buffering is essential for glitchless PWM
operation.
When the CCPRxH and 2-bit latch match TMR2
(TMR4), concatenated with an internal 2-bit Q clock or
2 bits of the TMR2 (TMR4) prescaler, the CCPx pin is
cleared.
The maximum PWM resolution (bits) for a given PWM

The PWM outputs are multiplexed with I/O pins and are

PWM pins is configurable and is selected by setting the
CCPxM bits in the CCPxCON register appropriately.
PWM (Enhanced Mode)
The Enhanced PWM mode can generate a PWM signal
on up to four different output pins with up to 10 bits of
resolution. It can do this through four different PWM
Output modes:

HALF-BRIDGE MODE
In Half-Bridge mode, two pins are used as outputs to
drive push-pull loads. The PWM output signal is output
on the PxA pin, while the complementary PWM output
signal is output on the PxB pin (see Figure 18-8). This
mode can be used for half-bridge applications, as
shown in Figure 18-9, or for full-bridge applications,
where four power switches are being modulated with
two PWM signals.
Since the PxA and PxB outputs are multiplexed with the
PORT data latches, the associated TRIS bits must be
cleared to configure PxA and PxB as outputs.

In Half-Bridge mode, the programmable dead-band delay
can be used to prevent shoot-through current in
half-bridge power devices. The value of the PxDC<6:0>
bits of the ECCPxDEL register sets the number of
instruction cycles before the output is driven active. If the
value is greater than the duty cycle, the corresponding
output remains inactive during the entire cycle. See
Section 18.5.6 “Programmable Dead-Band Delay
Mode” for more details of the dead-band delay
operations.

18.5.2.1
Direction Change in Full-Bridge
Mode
In the Full-Bridge mode, the PxM1 bit in the CCPxCON
register allows users to control the forward/reverse
direction. When the application firmware changes this
direction control bit, the module will change to the new
direction on the next PWM cycle.
A direction change is initiated in software by changing
the PxM1 bit of the CCPxCON register. The following
sequence occurs prior to the end of the current PWM
period:
• The modulated outputs (PxB and PxD) are placed
in their inactive state.
• The associated unmodulated outputs (PxA and
PxC) are switched to drive in the opposite
direction.
• PWM modulation resumes at the beginning of the
next period.
See Figure 18-12 for an illustration of this sequence.
The Full-Bridge mode does not provide a dead-band
delay. As one output is modulated at a time, a
dead-band delay is generally not required. There is a
situation where a dead-band delay is required. This
situation occurs when both of the following conditions
are true:
FIGURE 18-12:
1.
2.
The direction of the PWM output changes when
the duty cycle of the output is at or near 100%.
The turn-off time of the power switch, including
the power device and driver circuit, is greater
than the turn-on time.
Figure 18-13 shows an example of the PWM direction
changing from forward to reverse, at a near 100% duty
cycle. In this example, at time, t1, the PxA and PxD
outputs become inactive, while the PxC output
becomes active. Since the turn-off time of the power
devices is longer than the turn-on time, a shoot-through
current will flow through power devices, QC and QD
(see Figure 18-10), for the duration of ‘t’. The same
phenomenon will occur to power devices, QA and QB,
for PWM direction change from reverse to forward.
If changing PWM direction at high duty cycle is required
for an application, two possible solutions for eliminating
the shoot-through current are:
1.
2.
Reduce PWM duty cycle for one PWM period
before changing directions.
Use switch drivers that can drive the switches off
faster than they can drive them on.
Other options to prevent shoot-through current may
exist.

START-UP CONSIDERATIONS
When any PWM mode is used, the application
hardware must use the proper external pull-up and/or
pull-down resistors on the PWM output pins.
Note:
T = TOFF – TON
When the microcontroller is released from
Reset, all of the I/O pins are in the
high-impedance state. The external
circuits must keep the power switch
devices in the OFF state until the microcontroller drives the I/O pins with the
proper signal levels or activates the PWM
output(s).
The CCPxM<1:0> bits of the CCPxCON register allow
the user to choose whether the PWM output signals are
active-high or active-low for each pair of PWM output
pins (PxA/PxC and PxB/PxD). The PWM output
DS39932D-page 262
polarities must be selected before the PWM pin output
drivers are enabled. Changing the polarity configuration while the PWM pin output drivers are enabled is
not recommended since it may result in damage to the
application circuits.
The PxA, PxB, PxC and PxD output latches may not be
in the proper states when the PWM module is
initialized. Enabling the PWM pin output drivers at the
same time as the Enhanced PWM modes may cause
damage to the application circuit. The Enhanced PWM
modes must be enabled in the proper Output mode and
complete a full PWM cycle before enabling the PWM
pin output drivers. The completion of a full PWM cycle
is indicated by the TMR2IF or TMR4IF bit of the PIR1
or PIR3 register being set as the second PWM period
begins.

ENHANCED PWM
AUTO-SHUTDOWN MODE
The PWM mode supports an Auto-Shutdown mode that
will disable the PWM outputs when an external
shutdown event occurs. Auto-Shutdown mode places
the PWM output pins into a predetermined state. This
mode is used to help prevent the PWM from damaging
the application.
The auto-shutdown sources are selected using the
ECCPxAS<2:0> bits of the ECCPAS register. A
shutdown event may be generated by:
• A logic ‘0’ on the pin that is assigned the FLT0
input function
• Comparator C1
• Comparator C2
• Setting the ECCPxASE bit in firmware
REGISTER 18-2:
A shutdown condition is indicated by the ECCPxASE
(Auto-Shutdown Event Status) bit of the ECCPxAS
register. If the bit is a ‘0’, the PWM pins are operating
normally. If the bit is a ‘1’, the PWM outputs are in the
shutdown state.
When a shutdown event occurs, two things happen:
The ECCPxASE bit is set to ‘1’. The ECCPxASE will
remain set until cleared in firmware or an auto-restart
occurs (see Section 18.5.5 “Auto-Restart Mode”).
The enabled PWM pins are asynchronously placed in
their shutdown states. The PWM output pins are
grouped into pairs [PxA/PxC] and [PxB/PxD]. The state
of each pin pair is determined by the PSSxAC and
PSSxBD bits of the ECCPxAS register. Each pin pair
may be placed into one of three states:
• Drive logic ‘1’
• Drive logic ‘0’
• Tri-state (high-impedance)

PROGRAMMABLE DEAD-BAND
DELAY MODE
FIGURE 18-16:
In half-bridge applications, where all power switches
are modulated at the PWM frequency, the power
switches normally require more time to turn off than to
turn on. If both the upper and lower power switches are
switched at the same time (one turned on and the other
turned off), both switches may be on for a short period
until one switch completely turns off. During this brief
interval, a very high current (shoot-through current) will
flow through both power switches, shorting the bridge
supply. To avoid this potentially destructive
shoot-through current from flowing during switching,
turning on either of the power switches is normally
delayed to allow the other switch to completely turn off.
In Half-Bridge mode, a digitally programmable
dead-band delay is available to avoid shoot-through
current from destroying the bridge power switches. The
delay occurs at the signal transition from the non-active
state to the active state. See Figure 18-16 for
illustration. The lower seven bits of the associated
ECCPxDEL register (Register 18-3) sets the delay
period in terms of microcontroller instruction cycles
(TCY or 4 TOSC).

PULSE STEERING MODE
In Single Output mode, pulse steering allows any of the
PWM pins to be the modulated signal. Additionally, the
same PWM signal can simultaneously be available on
multiple pins.
Once the Single Output mode is selected
(CCPxM<3:2> = 11 and PxM<1:0> = 00 of the
CCPxCON register), the user firmware can bring out
the same PWM signal to one, two, three or four output
pins by setting the appropriate STR<D:A> bits of the
PSTRxCON register, as provided in Table 18-4.
Note:
While the PWM Steering mode is active, the
CCPxM<1:0> bits of the CCPxCON register select the
PWM output polarity for the Px<D:A> pins.
The PWM auto-shutdown operation also applies to
PWM Steering mode as described in Section 18.5.4
“Enhanced PWM Auto-shutdown mode”. An
auto-shutdown event will only affect pins that have
PWM outputs enabled.
The associated TRIS bits must be set to
output (‘0’) to enable the pin output driver
in order to see the PWM signal on the pin.

In Sleep mode, all clock sources are disabled. Timer2
will not increment and the state of the module will not

Both Power-on Reset and subsequent Resets will force

The MSSP module can operate in one of two modes:
• Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI)
• Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C™)
- Full Master mode
- Slave mode (with general address call)
The I2C interface supports the following modes in
hardware:
• Master mode
• Multi-Master mode
• Slave mode with 5-bit and 7-bit address masking
(with address masking for both 10-bit and 7-bit
addressing)
All of the MSSP1 module-related SPI and I2C I/O
functions are hard-mapped to specific I/O pins.
For MSSP2 functions:
• SPI I/O functions (SDO2, SDI2, SCK2 and SS2)
are all routed through the Peripheral Pin Select
(PPS) module.
These functions may be configured to use any of
the RPn remappable pins, as described in
Section 10.7 “Peripheral Pin Select (PPS)”.
• I2C functions (SCL2 and SDA2) have fixed pin
locations.
On all PIC18F46J11 family devices, the SPI DMA capability can only be used in conjunction with MSSP2. The
SPI DMA feature is described in Section 19.4 “SPI
DMA Module”.
Note:
Throughout
this
section,
generic
references to an MSSP module in any of its
operating modes may be interpreted as
being equally applicable to MSSP1 or
MSSP2. Register names and module I/O
signals use the generic designator ‘x’ to
indicate the use of a numeral to distinguish
a particular module when required. Control
bit names are not individuated.
All members of the PIC18F46J11 family have two
MSSP modules, designated as MSSP1 and MSSP2.
The modules operate independently:
• PIC18F4XJ11 devices – Both modules can be
configured for either I2C or SPI communication
• PIC18F2XJ11 devices:
- MSSP1 can be used for either I2C or SPI
communication
- MSSP2 can be used only for SPI
communication

Control Registers
FIGURE 19-1:
Each MSSP module has three associated control
registers. These include a status register (SSPxSTAT)
and two control registers (SSPxCON1 and SSPxCON2).
The use of these registers and their individual Configuration bits differ significantly depending on whether the
MSSP module is operated in SPI or I2C mode.
Additional details are provided under the individual
sections.
Note:
19.3
In devices with more than one MSSP
module, it is very important to pay close
attention to the SSPxCON register
names. SSP1CON1 and SSP1CON2
control different operational aspects of the
same module, while SSP1CON1 and
SSP2CON1 control the same features for
two different modules.

REGISTERS
In receive operations, SSPxSR and SSPxBUF
together create a double-buffered receiver. When
SSPxSR receives a complete byte, it is transferred to
SSPxBUF and the SSPxIF interrupt is set.
Each MSSP module has four registers for SPI mode
operation. These are:
• MSSPx Control Register 1 (SSPxCON1)
• MSSPx Status Register (SSPxSTAT)
• Serial Receive/Transmit Buffer Register
(SSPxBUF)
• MSSPx Shift Register (SSPxSR) – Not directly
accessible
During transmission, the SSPxBUF is not
double-buffered. A write to SSPxBUF will write to both
SSPxBUF and SSPxSR.
Note:
SSPxCON1 and SSPxSTAT are the control and status
registers in SPI mode operation. The SSPxCON1
register is readable and writable. The lower six bits of
the SSPxSTAT are read-only. The upper two bits of the
SSPxSTAT are read/write.
SSPxSR is the shift register used for shifting data in or
out. SSPxBUF is the buffer register to which data
bytes are written to or read from.
REGISTER 19-1:
R/W-0
SMP
Because the SSPxBUF register is double-buffered, using read-modify-write
instructions such as BCF, COMF, etc., will
not work.
Similarly, when debugging under an in-circuit debugger, performing actions that
cause reads of SSPxBUF (mouse
hovering, watch, etc.) can consume data
that the application code was expecting to
receive.

19.3.2
OPERATION
When initializing the SPI, several options need to be
specified. This is done by programming the appropriate
control bits (SSPxCON1<5:0> and SSPxSTAT<7:6>).
These control bits allow the following to be specified:
•
•
•
•
Master mode (SCKx is the clock output)
Slave mode (SCKx is the clock input)
Clock Polarity (Idle state of SCKx)
Data Input Sample Phase (middle or end of data
output time)
• Clock Edge (output data on rising/falling edge of
SCKx)
• Clock Rate (Master mode only)
• Slave Select mode (Slave mode only)
The Buffer Full bit, BF (SSPxSTAT<0>), indicates when
SSPxBUF has been loaded with the received data
(transmission is complete). When the SSPxBUF is read,
the BF bit is cleared. This data may be irrelevant if the
SPI is only a transmitter. Generally, the MSSP interrupt
is used to determine when the transmission/reception
has completed. 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 19-1 provides the loading of the SSPxBUF
(SSPxSR) for data transmission.
The SSPxSR is not directly readable or writable and
can only be accessed by addressing the SSPxBUF
register. Additionally, the SSPxSTAT register indicates
the various status conditions.
Each MSSP module consists of a transmit/receive shift
register (SSPxSR) and a buffer register (SSPxBUF).
The SSPxSR shifts the data in and out of the device,
MSb first. The SSPxBUF holds the data that was written
to the SSPxSR until the received data is ready. Once the
8 bits of data have been received, that byte is moved to
the SSPxBUF register. Then, the Buffer Full (BF) detect
bit (SSPxSTAT<0>) and the interrupt flag bit, SSPxIF,
are set. This double-buffering of the received data
(SSPxBUF) allows the next byte to start reception before
reading the data that was just received.
19.3.3
Any write to the SSPxBUF register during transmission/reception of data will be ignored and the Write
Collision Detect bit, WCOL (SSPxCON1<7>), will be set.
User software must clear the WCOL bit so that it can be
determined if the following write(s) to the SSPxBUF
register completed successfully.
The open-drain output option is controlled by the
SPI2OD and SPI1OD bits (ODCON3<1:0>). Setting an
SPIxOD bit configures both SDOx and SCKx pins for the
corresponding open-drain operation.
Note:
The drivers for the SDOx output and SCKx clock pins
can be optionally configured as open-drain outputs.
This feature allows the voltage level on the pin to be
pulled to a higher level through an external pull-up
resistor, provided the SDOx or SCKx pin is not multiplexed with an ANx analog function. This allows the
output to communicate with external circuits without the
need for additional level shifters. For more information,
see Section 10.1.4 “Open-Drain Outputs”.
When the application software is expecting
to receive valid data, the SSPxBUF should
be read before the next byte of transfer
data is written to the SSPxBUF. Application
software should follow this process even
when the current contents of SSPxBUF
are not important.

ENABLING SPI I/O
To enable the serial port, MSSP Enable bit, SSPEN
(SSPxCON1<5>), must be set. To reset or reconfigure
SPI mode, clear the SSPEN bit, reinitialize the
SSPxCON1 registers and then set the SSPEN bit. This
configures the SDIx, SDOx, SCKx and SSx pins as
serial port pins. For the pins to behave as the serial port
function, the appropriate TRIS bits, ANCON/PCFG bits
and Peripheral Pin Select registers (if using MSSP2)
should be correctly initialized prior to setting the
SSPEN bit.
Any MSSP1 serial port function that is not desired may
be overridden by programming the corresponding Data
Direction (TRIS) register to the opposite value. If
individual MSSP2 serial port functions will not be used,
they may be left unmapped.
Note:
A typical SPI serial port initialization process follows:
• Initialize ODCON3 register (optional open-drain
output control)
• Initialize remappable pin functions (if using
MSSP2, see Section 10.7 “Peripheral Pin
Select (PPS)”)
• Initialize SCKx LAT value to desired Idle SCK
level (if master device)
• Initialize SCKx ANCON/PCFG bit (if Slave mode
and multiplexed with ANx function)
• Initialize SCKx TRIS bit as output (Master mode)
or input (Slave mode)
• Initialize SDIx ANCON/PCFG bit (if SDIx is
multiplexed with ANx function)
• Initialize SDIx TRIS bit
• Initialize SSx ANCON/PCFG bit (if Slave mode
and multiplexed with ANx function)
• Initialize SSx TRIS bit (Slave modes)
• Initialize SDOx TRIS bit
• Initialize SSPxSTAT register
• Initialize SSPxCON1 register
• Set SSPEN bit to enable the module
FIGURE 19-2:
19.3.5
When MSSP2 is used in SPI Master
mode, the SCK2 function must be configured as both an output and input in the
PPS module. SCK2 must be initialized as
an output pin (by writing 0x0A to one of
the RPORx registers). Additionally,
SCK2IN must also be mapped to the
same pin, by initializing the RPINR22 register. Failure to initialize SCK2/SCK2IN as
both output and input will prevent the
module from receiving data on the SDI2
pin, as the module uses the SCK2IN signal to latch the received data.
TYPICAL CONNECTION
Figure 19-2 illustrates a typical connection between two
microcontrollers. The master controller (Processor 1)
initiates the data transfer by sending the SCKx 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
the 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 valid data–Slave sends dummy
data
• Master sends valid data–Slave sends valid data
• Master sends dummy data–Slave sends valid
data

MASTER MODE
The master can initiate the data transfer at any time
because it controls the SCKx. The master determines
when the slave (Processor 2, Figure 19-2) is to
broadcast data by the software protocol.
In Master mode, the data is transmitted/received as
soon as the SSPxBUF register is written to. If the SPI
is only going to receive, the SDOx output could be disabled (programmed as an input). The SSPxSR register
will continue to shift in the signal present on the SDIx
pin at the programmed clock rate. As each byte is
received, it will be loaded into the SSPxBUF 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.
Note:
To avoid lost data in Master mode, a read
of the SSPxBUF must be performed to
clear the Buffer Full (BF) detect bit
(SSPxSTAT<0>)
between
each
transmission.
FIGURE 19-3:
The CKP is selected by appropriately programming the
CKP bit (SSPxCON1<4>). This then, would give
waveforms for SPI communication as illustrated in
Figure 19-3, Figure 19-5 and Figure 19-6, where the
Most Significant Byte (MSB) is transmitted first. In
Master mode, the SPI clock rate (bit rate) is
user-programmable to be one of the following:
•
•
•
•
FOSC/4 (or TCY)
FOSC/16 (or 4 • TCY)
FOSC/64 (or 16 • TCY)
Timer2 output/2
When using the Timer2 output/2 option, the Period
Register 2 (PR2) can be used to determine the SPI bit
rate. However, only PR2 values of 0x01 to 0xFF are
valid in this mode.
Figure 19-3 illustrates the waveforms for Master mode.
When the CKE bit is set, the SDOx data is valid before
there is a clock edge on SCKx. The change of the input
sample is shown based on the state of the SMP bit. The
time when the SSPxBUF is loaded with the received
data is shown.

External pull-up/pull-down resistors may be desirable
depending on the application.
While in Slave mode, the external clock is supplied by
the external clock source on the SCKx pin. This
external clock must meet the minimum high and low
times as specified in the electrical specifications.

configured to wake-up from Sleep.

set, then the SSx pin control must be

19.3.8
When the SPI module resets, the bit counter is forced
to ‘0’. This can be done by either forcing the SSx pin to

SYNCHRONIZATION
The SSx pin allows a Synchronous Slave mode. The
SPI must be in Slave mode with the SSx pin control
enabled (SSPxCON1<3:0> = 04h). When the SSx pin
is low, transmission and reception are enabled and the
SDOx pin is driven. When the SSx pin goes high, the
SDOx pin is no longer driven, even if in the middle of a

To emulate two-wire communication, the SDOx pin can
be connected to the SDIx pin. When the SPI needs to
operate as a receiver, the SDOx pin can be configured
as an input. This disables transmissions from the
SDOx. The SDIx can always be left as an input (SDIx
function) since it cannot create a bus conflict.

OPERATION IN POWER-MANAGED
MODES
In SPI Master mode, module clocks may be operating
at a different speed than when in full-power mode. In
the case of Sleep mode, all clocks are halted.
In Idle modes, a clock is provided to the peripherals.
That clock can be from the primary clock source, the
secondary clock (Timer1 oscillator) or the INTOSC
source. See Section 3.3 “Clock Sources and
Oscillator Switching” for additional information.
19.3.11
Table 19-1 provides the compatibility between the
standard SPI modes and the states of the CKP and
CKE control bits.
TABLE 19-1:
If the Sleep mode is selected, all module clocks are
halted and the transmission/reception will remain in
that state until the device wakes. After the device
returns to Run mode, the module will resume
transmitting and receiving data.
In SPI Slave mode, the SPI Transmit/Receive Shift
register operates asynchronously to the device. This
allows the device to be placed in any power-managed
mode and data to be shifted into the SPI
Transmit/Receive Shift register. When all 8 bits have
been received, the MSSP interrupt flag bit will be set,
and if enabled, will wake the device.

In most cases, the speed that the master clocks SPI
data is not important; however, this should be
evaluated for each system.
If MSSP interrupts are enabled, they can wake the
controller from Sleep mode, or one of the Idle modes,
when the master completes sending data. If an exit
from Sleep or Idle mode is not desired, MSSP
interrupts should be disabled.
BUS MODE COMPATIBILITY
There is also an SMP bit, which controls when the data
is sampled.
19.3.12
SPI CLOCK SPEED AND MODULE
INTERACTIONS
Because MSSP1 and MSSP2 are independent
modules, they can operate simultaneously at different
data rates. Setting the SSPM<3:0> bits of the
SSPxCON1 register determines the rate for the
corresponding module.
An exception is when both modules use Timer2 as a
time base in Master mode. In this instance, any
changes to the Timer2 module’s operation will affect
both MSSP modules equally. If different bit rates are
required for each module, the user should select one of
the other three time base options for one of the
modules.
A Reset disables the MSSP module and terminates the
current transfer.

SPI DMA Module
The SPI DMA module contains control logic to allow the
MSSP2 module to perform SPI direct memory access
transfers. This enables the module to quickly transmit
or receive large amounts of data with relatively little
CPU intervention. When the SPI DMA module is used,
MSSP2 can directly read and write to general purpose
SRAM. When the SPI DMA module is not enabled,
MSSP2 functions normally, but without DMA capability.
The SPI DMA module is composed of control logic, a
Destination Receive Address Pointer, a Transmit
Source Address Pointer, an interrupt manager and a
Byte Count register for setting the size of each DMA
transfer. The DMA module may be used with all SPI
Master and Slave modes, and supports both
half-duplex and full-duplex transfers.
19.4.1
I/O PIN CONSIDERATIONS
When enabled, the SPI DMA module uses the MSSP2
module. All SPI related input and output signals related
to MSSP2 are routed through the Peripheral Pin Select
module. The appropriate initialization procedure as
described in Section 19.4.6 “Using the SPI DMA
Module” will need to be followed prior to using the SPI
DMA module. The output pins assigned to the SDO2
and SCK2 functions can optionally be configured as
open-drain outputs, such as for level shifting operations
mentioned in the same section.
19.4.2
RAM TO RAM COPY OPERATIONS
Although the SPI DMA module is primarily intended to
be used for SPI communication purposes, the module
can also be used to perform RAM to RAM copy operations. To do this, configure the module for Full-Duplex
Master mode operation, but assign the SDO2 output
and SDI2 input functions onto the same RPn pin in the
PPS module. This will allow the module to operate in
Loopback mode, providing RAM copy capability.
19.4.3
IDLE AND SLEEP
CONSIDERATIONS
The SPI DMA module remains fully functional when the
microcontroller is in Idle mode.
During normal sleep, the SPI DMA module is not functional and should not be used. To avoid corrupting a
transfer, user firmware should be careful to make
certain that pending DMA operations are complete by
polling the DMAEN bit in the DMACON1 register prior
to putting the microcontroller into Sleep.
DS39932D-page 282
In SPI Slave modes, the MSSP2 module is capable of
transmitting and/or receiving one byte of data while in
Sleep mode. This allows the SSP2IF flag in the PIR3
register to be used as a wake-up source. When the
DMAEN bit is cleared, the SPI DMA module is
effectively disabled, and the MSSP2 module functions
normally, but without DMA capabilities. If the DMAEN
bit is clear prior to entering Sleep, it is still possible to
use the SSP2IF as a wake-up source without any data
loss.
Neither MSSP2 nor the SPI DMA module will provide
any functionality in Deep Sleep. Upon exiting from
Deep Sleep, all of the I/O pins, MSSP2 and SPI DMA
related registers will need to be fully reinitialized before
the SPI DMA module can be used again.
19.4.4
REGISTERS
The SPI DMA engine is enabled and controlled by the
following Special Function Registers:
• DMACON1
• DMACON2
• TXADDRH
• TXADDRL
• RXADDRH
• RXADDRL
• DMABCH
• DMABCL
19.4.4.1
DMACON1
The DMACON1 register is used to select the main
operating mode of the SPI DMA module. The SSCON1
and SSCON0 bits are used to control the slave select
pin.
When MSSP2 is used in SPI Master mode with the SPI
DMA module, SSDMA can be controlled by the DMA
module as an output pin. If MSSP2 will be used to communicate with an SPI slave device that needs the SS
pin to be toggled periodically, the SPI DMA hardware
can automatically be used to deassert SS between
each byte, every two bytes or every four bytes.
Alternatively, user firmware can manually generate
slave select signals with normal general purpose I/O
pins, if required by the slave device(s).
When the TXINC bit is set, the TXADDR register will
automatically increment after each transmitted byte.
Automatic transmit address increment can be disabled
by clearing the TXINC bit. If the automatic transmit
address increment is disabled, each byte which is output on SDO2, will be the same (the contents of the
SRAM pointed to by the TXADDR register) for the
entire DMA transaction.
 2011 Microchip Technology Inc.
PIC18F46J11 FAMILY
When the RXINC bit is set, the RXADDR register will
automatically increment after each received byte. Automatic receive address increment can be disabled by
clearing the RXINC bit. If RXINC is disabled in
Full-Duplex or Half-Duplex Receive modes, all incoming data bytes on SDI2 will overwrite the same memory
location pointed to by the RXADDR register. After the
SPI DMA transaction has completed, the last received
byte will reside in the memory location pointed to by the
RXADDR register.
The SPI DMA module can be used for either half-duplex
receive only communication, half-duplex transmit only
communication or full-duplex simultaneous transmit and
receive operations. All modes are available for both SPI
master and SPI slave configurations. The DUPLEX0
and DUPLEX1 bits can be used to select the desired
operating mode.
The behavior of the DLYINTEN bit varies greatly
depending on the SPI operating mode. For example
behavior for each of the modes, see Figure 19-3
through Figure 19-6.
SPI Slave mode, DLYINTEN = 1: In this mode, an
SSP2IF interrupt will be generated during a transfer if
the time between successful byte transmission events
is longer than the value set by the DLYCYC<3:0> bits
in the DMACON2 register. This interrupt allows slave
firmware to know that the master device is taking an
unusually large amount of time between byte transmissions. For example, this information may be useful for
implementing application-defined communication
protocols involving time-outs if the bus remains Idle for
too long. When DLYINTEN = 1, the DLYLVL<3:0>
interrupts occur normally according to the selected
setting.
SPI Slave mode, DLYINTEN = 0: In this mode, the
time-out based interrupt is disabled. No additional
SSP2IF interrupt events will be generated by the SPI
DMA module, other than those indicated by the
INTLVL<3:0> bits in the DMACON2 register. In this
mode, always set DLYCYC<3:0> = 0000.
 2011 Microchip Technology Inc.
SPI Master mode, DLYINTEN = 0: The DLYCYC<3:0>
bits in the DMACON2 register determine the amount of
additional inter-byte delay, which is added by the SPI
DMA module during a transfer. The Master mode SS2
output feature may be used.
SPI Master mode, DLYINTEN = 1: The amount of
hardware overhead is slightly reduced in this mode,
and the minimum inter-byte delay is 8 TCY for FOSC/4,
9 TCY for FOSC/16 and 15 TCY for FOSC/64. This mode
can potentially be used to obtain slightly higher
effective SPI bandwidth. In this mode, the SS2 control
feature cannot be used, and should always be disabled
(DMACON1<7:6> = 00). Additionally, the interrupt
generating hardware (used in Slave mode) remains
active. To avoid extraneous SSP2IF interrupt events,
set the DMACON2 delay bits, DLYCYC<3:0> = 1111,
and ensure that the SPI serial clock rate is no slower
than FOSC/64.
In SPI Master modes, the DMAEN bit is used to enable
the SPI DMA module and to initiate an SPI DMA transaction. After user firmware sets the DMAEN bit, the
DMA hardware will begin transmitting and/or receiving
data bytes according to the configuration used. In SPI
Slave modes, setting the DMAEN bit will finish the
initialization steps needed to prepare the SPI DMA
module for communication (which must still be initiated
by the master device).
To avoid possible data corruption, once the DMAEN bit
is set, user firmware should not attempt to modify any
of the MSSP2 or SPI DMA related registers, with the
exception of the INTLVL bits in the DMACON2 register.
If user firmware wants to halt an ongoing DMA transaction, the DMAEN bit can be manually cleared by the
firmware. Clearing the DMAEN bit while a byte is
currently being transmitted will not immediately halt the
byte in progress. Instead, any byte currently in
progress will be completed before the MSSP2 and SPI
DMA modules go back to their Idle conditions. If user
firmware clears the DMAEN bit, the TXADDR,
RXADDR and DMABC registers will no longer update,
and the DMA module will no longer make any
additional read or writes to SRAM; therefore, state
information can be lost.

DMABCH and DMABCL
The DMABCH and DMABCL register pair forms a 10-bit
Byte Count register, which is used by the SPI DMA
module to send/receive up to 1,024 bytes for each DMA
transaction. When the DMA module is actively running
(DMAEN = 1), the DMA Byte Count register decrements
after each byte is transmitted/received. The DMA transaction will halt and the DMAEN bit will be automatically
cleared by hardware after the last byte has completed.
After a DMA transaction is complete, the DMABC
register will read 0x000.
Prior to initiating a DMA transaction by setting the
DMAEN bit, user firmware should load the appropriate
value into the DMABCH/DMABCL registers. The
DMABC is a “base zero” counter, so the actual number
of bytes which will be transmitted follows in
Equation 19-1.
For example, if user firmware wants to transmit 7 bytes
in one transaction, DMABC should be loaded with
006h. Similarly, if user firmware wishes to transmit
1,024 bytes, DMABC should be loaded with 3FFh.
EQUATION 19-1:
BYTES TRANSMITTED
FOR A GIVEN DMABC
Bytes XMIT   DMABC + 1 
19.4.4.4
19.4.5
The SPI DMA module can read from and transmit data
from all general purpose memory on the device. The SPI
DMA module cannot be used to read from the Special
Function Registers (SFRs) contained in banks 14 and
15.
RXADDRH and RXADDRL
INTERRUPTS
The SPI DMA module alters the behavior of the SSP2IF
interrupt flag. In normal/non-DMA modes, the SSP2IF is
set once after every single byte is transmitted/received
through the MSSP2 module. When MSSP2 is used with
the SPI DMA module, the SSP2IF interrupt flag will be
set according to the user-selected INTLVL<3:0> value
specified in the DMACON2 register. The SSP2IF interrupt condition will also be generated once the SPI DMA
transaction has fully completed, and the DMAEN bit has
been cleared by hardware.
The SSP2IF flag becomes set once the DMA byte count
value indicates that the specified INTLVL has been
reached. For example, if DMACON2<3:0> = 0101
(16 bytes remaining), the SSP2IF interrupt flag will
become set once DMABC reaches 00Fh. If user
firmware then clears the SSP2IF interrupt flag, the flag
will not be set again by the hardware until after all bytes
have been fully transmitted and the DMA transaction is
complete.
Note:
TXADDRH and TXADDRL
The TXADDRH and TXADDRL registers pair together
to form a 12-bit Transmit Source Address Pointer
register. In modes that use TXADDR (Full-Duplex and
Half-Duplex Transmit), the TXADDR will be incremented after each byte is transmitted. Transmitted data
bytes will be taken from the memory location pointed to
by the TXADDR register. The contents of the memory
locations pointed to by TXADDR will not be modified by
the DMA module during a transmission.
19.4.4.5
The SPI DMA module can write received data to all
general purpose memory on the device. The SPI DMA
module cannot be used to modify the Special Function
Registers contained in banks 14 and 15.
User firmware may modify the INTLVL bits
while a DMA transaction is in progress
(DMAEN = 1). If an INTLVL value is
selected which is higher than the actual
remaining number of bytes (indicated by
DMABC + 1), the SSP2IF interrupt flag
will immediately become set.
For example, if DMABC = 00Fh (implying 16 bytes are
remaining) and user firmware writes ‘1111’ to
INTLVL<3:0> (interrupt when 576 bytes remaining),
the SSP2IF interrupt flag will immediately become set.
If user firmware clears this interrupt flag, a new interrupt condition will not be generated until either: user
firmware again writes INTLVL with an interrupt level
higher than the actual remaining level, or the DMA
transaction completes and the DMAEN bit is cleared.
Note:
If the INTLVL bits are modified while a
DMA transaction is in progress, care
should be taken to avoid inadvertently
changing the DLYCYC<3:0> value.
The RXADDRH and RXADDRL register pair together
to form a 12-bit Receive Destination Address Pointer.
In modes that use RXADDR (Full-Duplex and
Half-Duplex Receive), the RXADDR register will be
incremented after each byte is received. Received data
bytes will be stored at the memory location pointed to
by the RXADDR register.

USING THE SPI DMA MODULE
The following steps would typically be taken to enable
and use the SPI DMA module:
1.
2.
3.
Configure the I/O pins, which will be used by
MSSP2.
a) Assign SCK2, SDO2, SDI2 and SS2 to RPn
pins as appropriate for the SPI mode which
will be used. Only functions which will be
used need to be assigned to a pin.
b) Initialize the associated LATx registers for
the desired Idle SPI bus state.
c) If Open-Drain Output mode on SDO2 and
SCK2 (Master mode) is desired, set
ODCON3<1>.
d) Configure corresponding TRISx bits for
each I/O pin used
Configure and enable MSSP2 for the desired
SPI operating mode.
a) Select the desired operating mode (Master
or Slave, SPI Mode 0, 1, 2 and 3) and
configure the module by writing to the
SSP2STAT and SSP2CON1 registers.
b) Enable MSSP2 by setting SSP2CON1<5> = 1.
Configure the SPI DMA engine.
a) Select the desired operating mode by
writing the appropriate values to
DMACON2 and DMACON1.
b) Initialize the TXADDRH/TXADDRL Pointer
(Full-Duplex or Half-Duplex Transmit Only
mode).
c) Initialize the RXADDRH/RXADDRL Pointer
(Full-Duplex or Half-Duplex Receive Only
mode).
d) Initialize the DMABCH/DMABCL Byte Count
register with the number of bytes to be
transferred in the next SPI DMA operation.
e) Set the DMAEN bit (DMACON1<0>).
4.
Detect the SSP2IF interrupt condition (PIR3<7).
a) If the interrupt was configured to occur at
the completion of the SPI DMA transaction,
the DMAEN bit (DMACON1<0>) will be
clear. User firmware may prepare the
module for another transaction by repeating
steps 3.b through 3.e.
b) If the interrupt was configured to occur prior
to the completion of the SPI DMA transaction, the DMAEN bit may still be set,
indicating the transaction is still in progress.
User firmware would typically use this interrupt condition to begin preparing new data
for the next DMA transaction. Firmware
should not repeat steps 3.b. through 3.e.
until the DMAEN bit is cleared by the
hardware, indicating the transaction is
complete.
Example 19-2 provides example code demonstrating
the initialization process and the steps needed to use
the SPI DMA module to perform a 512-byte
Full-Duplex, Master mode transfer.
In SPI Master modes, this will initiate a DMA
transaction. In SPI Slave modes, this will
complete the initialization process, and the
module will now be ready to begin receiving
and/or transmitting data to the master
device once the master starts the
transaction.

I2C Mode
19.5.1
The MSSP module in I2C mode fully implements all
master and slave functions (including general call
support), and provides interrupts on Start and Stop bits
in hardware to determine a free bus (multi-master
function). The MSSP module implements the standard
mode specifications and 7-bit and 10-bit addressing.
Two pins are used for data transfer:
• Serial Clock (SCLx) – RC3/SCK1/SCL1/RP14 or
RD0/PMD0/SCL2
• Serial Data (SDAx) – RC4/SDI1/SDA1/RP15 or
RD1/PMD1/SDA2
The user must configure these pins as inputs by setting
the associated TRIS bits.

The MSSP module has six registers for I2C operation.
These are:
•
•
•
•
MSSPx Control Register 1 (SSPxCON1)
MSSPx Control Register 2 (SSPxCON2)
MSSPx Status Register (SSPxSTAT)
Serial Receive/Transmit Buffer Register
(SSPxBUF)
• MSSPx Shift Register (SSPxSR) – Not directly
accessible
• MSSPx Address Register (SSPxADD)
• MSSPx 7-Bit Address Mask Register (SSPxMSK)
SSPxCON1, SSPxCON2 and SSPxSTAT are the
control and status registers in I2C mode operation. The
SSPxCON1 and SSPxCON2 registers are readable and
writable. The lower six bits of the SSPxSTAT are
read-only. The upper two bits of the SSPxSTAT are
read/write.
SSPxSR is the shift register used for shifting data in or
out. SSPxBUF is the buffer register to which data
bytes are written to or read from.
SSPxADD contains the slave device address when the
MSSP is configured in I2C Slave mode. When the
MSSP is configured in Master mode, the lower seven
bits of SSPxADD act as the Baud Rate Generator
(BRG) reload value.
SSPxBUF reg
SCLx
REGISTERS
SSPxMSK holds the slave address mask value when
the module is configured for 7-Bit Address Masking
mode. While it is a separate register, it shares the same
SFR address as SSPxADD; it is only accessible when
the SSPM<3:0> bits are specifically set to permit
access. Additional details are provided in
Section 19.5.3.4 “7-Bit Address Masking Mode”.
In receive operations, SSPxSR and SSPxBUF
together, create a double-buffered receiver. When
SSPxSR receives a complete byte, it is transferred to
SSPxBUF and the SSPxIF interrupt is set.
During transmission, the SSPxBUF is not
double-buffered. A write to SSPxBUF will write to both
SSPxBUF and SSPxSR.

OPERATION
The MSSP module functions are enabled by setting the
MSSP Enable bit, SSPEN (SSPxCON1<5>).
The SSPxCON1 register allows control of the I2C
operation. Four mode selection bits (SSPxCON1<3:0>)
allow one of the following I2C modes to be selected:
2
The SCLx clock input must have a minimum high and
low for proper operation. The high and low times of the
I2C specification, as well as the requirement of the
MSSP module, are shown in timing parameter 100 and
parameter 101.

• I2C Slave mode (10-bit address) with Start and
Stop bit interrupts enabled
• I2C Firmware Controlled Master mode, slave is

Once the MSSP module has been enabled, it waits for
a Start condition to occur. Following the Start condition,
the 8 bits are shifted into the SSPxSR register. All
incoming bits are sampled with the rising edge of the
clock (SCLx) line. The value of register, SSPxSR<7:1>,
is compared to the value of the SSPxADD register. The
address is compared on the falling edge of the eighth
clock (SCLx) pulse. If the addresses match and the BF
and SSPOV bits are clear, the following events occur:
Selection of any I2C mode with the SSPEN bit set
forces the SCLx and SDAx pins to be open-drain,
provided these pins are programmed as inputs by
setting the appropriate TRISB or TRISD bits. To ensure
proper operation of the module, pull-up resistors must
be provided externally to the SCLx and SDAx pins.

SLAVE MODE
In Slave mode, the SCLx and SDAx pins must be
configured as inputs (TRISB<5:4> set). The MSSP
module will override the input state with the output data
when required (slave-transmitter).
The I2C Slave mode hardware will always generate an
interrupt on an address match. Address masking will
allow the hardware to generate an interrupt for more
than one address (up to 31 in 7-bit addressing and up
to 63 in 10-bit addressing). Through the mode select
bits, the user can also choose to interrupt on Start and
Stop bits.
1.
In 10-Bit Addressing mode, two address bytes need to
be received by the slave. The five Most Significant bits
(MSbs) of the first address byte specify if this is a 10-bit
address. Bit R/W (SSPxSTAT<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
‘11110 A9 A8 0’, where ‘A9’ and ‘A8’ are the two
MSbs of the address. The sequence of events for 10-bit
addressing is as follows, with steps 7 through 9 for the
slave-transmitter:
1.
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 load the SSPxBUF register with the received value
currently in the SSPxSR register.
2.
Any combination of the following conditions will cause
the MSSP module not to give this ACK pulse:
4.
• The Buffer Full bit, BF (SSPxSTAT<0>), was set
before the transfer was received.
• The overflow bit, SSPOV (SSPxCON1<6>), was
set before the transfer was received.
In this case, the SSPxSR register value is not loaded
into the SSPxBUF, but bit, SSPxIF, is set. The BF bit is
cleared by reading the SSPxBUF register, while bit,
SSPOV, is cleared through software.
DS39932D-page 296
The SSPxSR register value is loaded into the
SSPxBUF register.
The Buffer Full bit, BF, is set.
An ACK pulse is generated.

19.5.3.2
Address Masking Modes
Masking an address bit causes that bit to become a
“don’t care”. When one address bit is masked, two
addresses will be Acknowledged and cause an interrupt. It is possible to mask more than one address bit at
a time, which greatly expands the number of addresses
Acknowledged.
The I2C slave behaves the same way, whether address
masking is used or not. However, when address masking is used, the I2C slave can Acknowledge multiple
addresses and cause interrupts. When this occurs, it is
necessary to determine which address caused the
interrupt by checking SSPxBUF.
The PIC18F46J11 family of devices is capable of using
two different Address Masking modes in I2C slave
operation: 5-Bit Address Masking and 7-Bit Address
Masking. The Masking mode is selected at device
configuration using the MSSPMSK Configuration bit.
The default device configuration is 7-Bit Address
Masking.
Both Masking modes, in turn, support address masking
of 7-bit and 10-bit addresses. The combination of
Masking modes and addresses provide different
ranges of Acknowledgable addresses for each
combination.
While both Masking modes function in roughly the
same manner, the way they use address masks is
different.
19.5.3.3
5-Bit Address Masking Mode
As the name implies, 5-Bit Address Masking mode uses
an address mask of up to five bits to create a range of
addresses to be Acknowledged, using bits 5 through 1 of
EXAMPLE 19-3:
the incoming address. This allows the module to
Acknowledge up to 31 addresses when using 7-bit
addressing, or 63 addresses with 10-bit addressing (see
Example 19-3). This Masking mode is selected when
the MSSPMSK Configuration bit is programmed (‘0’).
The address mask in this mode is stored in the
SSPxCON2 register, which stops functioning as a control
register in I2C Slave mode (Register 19-8). In 7-Bit
Address Masking mode, address mask bits,
ADMSK<5:1>
(SSPxCON2<5:1>),
mask
the
corresponding address bits in the SSPxADD register. For
any ADMSK bits that are set (ADMSK<n> = 1), the corresponding address bit is ignored (SSPxADD<n> = x).
For the module to issue an address Acknowledge, it is
sufficient to match only on addresses that do not have an
active address mask.
In 10-Bit Address Masking mode, bits, ADMSK<5:2>,
mask the corresponding address bits in the SSPxADD
register. In addition, ADMSK1 simultaneously masks
the two LSbs of the address (SSPxADD<1:0>). For any
ADMSK bits that are active (ADMSK<n> = 1), the corresponding address bit is ignored (SPxADD<n> = x).
Also note, that although in 10-Bit Address Masking
mode, the upper address bits reuse part of the
SSPxADD register bits. The address mask bits do not
interact with those bits; they only affect the lower
address bits.
Note 1: ADMSK1 masks the two Least Significant bits of the address.
2: The two MSbs of the address are not
affected by address masking.
ADDRESS MASKING EXAMPLES IN 5-BIT MASKING MODE
7-Bit Addressing:
SSPxADD<7:1>= A0h (1010000) (SSPxADD<0> is assumed to be ‘0’)
ADMSK<5:1> = 00111
Addresses Acknowledged: A0h, A2h, A4h, A6h, A8h, AAh, ACh, AEh
10-Bit Addressing:
SSPxADD<7:0> = A0h (10100000) (The two MSbs of the address are ignored in this example, since
they are not affected by masking)
ADMSK<5:1> = 00111
Addresses Acknowledged: A0h, A1h, A2h, A3h, A4h, A5h, A6h, A7h, A8h, A9h, AAh, ABh, ACh, ADh,
AEh, AFh

PIC18F46J11 FAMILY
19.5.3.4
7-Bit Address Masking Mode
Unlike 5-Bit Address Masking mode, 7-Bit Address
Masking mode uses a mask of up to eight bits (in 10-bit
addressing) to define a range of addresses than can be
Acknowledged, using the lowest bits of the incoming
address. This allows the module to Acknowledge up to
127 different addresses with 7-bit addressing, or
255 with 10-bit addressing (see Example 19-4). This
mode is the default configuration of the module, and is
selected when MSSPMSK is unprogrammed (‘1’).
The address mask for 7-Bit Address Masking mode is
stored in the SSPxMSK register, instead of the
SSPxCON2 register. SSPxMSK is a separate hardware register within the module, but it is not directly
addressable. Instead, it shares an address in the SFR
space with the SSPxADD register. To access the
SSPxMSK register, it is necessary to select MSSP
mode, ‘1001’ (SSPCON1<3:0> = 1001), and then read
or write to the location of SSPxADD.
To use 7-Bit Address Masking mode, it is necessary to
initialize SSPxMSK with a value before selecting the
I2C Slave Addressing mode. Thus, the required
sequence of events is:
1.
2.
3.
Setting or clearing mask bits in SSPxMSK behaves in
the opposite manner of the ADMSK bits in 5-Bit
Address Masking mode. That is, clearing a bit in
SSPxMSK causes the corresponding address bit to be
masked; setting the bit requires a match in that
position. SSPxMSK resets to all ‘1’s upon any Reset
condition and, therefore, has no effect on the standard
MSSP operation until written with a mask value.
With 7-Bit Address Masking mode, SSPxMSK<7:1>
bits mask the corresponding address bits in the
SSPxADD register. For any SSPxMSK bits that are
active
(SSPxMSK<n> = 0),
the
corresponding
SSPxADD address bit is ignored (SSPxADD<n> = x).
For the module to issue an address Acknowledge, it is
sufficient to match only on addresses that do not have
an active address mask.
With 10-Bit Address Masking mode, SSPxMSK<7:0>
bits mask the corresponding address bits in the
SSPxADD register. For any SSPxMSK bits that are
active (= 0), the corresponding SSPxADD address bit
is ignored (SSPxADD<n> = x).
Note:
The two MSbs of the address are not
affected by address masking.

19.5.3.5
Reception
When the R/W bit of the address byte is clear and an
address match occurs, the R/W bit of the SSPxSTAT
register is cleared. The received address is loaded into
the SSPxBUF register and the SDAx line is held low
(ACK).
When the address byte overflow condition exists, then
the no Acknowledge (ACK) pulse is given. An overflow
condition is defined as either bit, BF (SSPxSTAT<0>),
is set or bit, SSPOV (SSPxCON1<6>), is set.
An MSSP interrupt is generated for each data transfer
byte. The interrupt flag bit, SSPxIF, must be cleared in
software. The SSPxSTAT register is used to determine
the status of the byte.
If SEN is enabled (SSPxCON2<0> = 1), SCLx will be
held low (clock stretch) following each data transfer.
The clock must be released by setting bit, CKP
(SSPxCON1<4>). See Section 19.5.4 “Clock
Stretching” for more details.
19.5.3.6
Transmission
When the R/W bit of the incoming address byte is set
and an address match occurs, the R/W bit of the
SSPxSTAT register is set. The received address is
loaded into the SSPxBUF register. The ACK pulse will
be sent on the ninth bit and pin SCLx is held low regardless of SEN (see Section 19.5.4 “Clock Stretching”
for more details). By stretching the clock, the master
will be unable to assert another clock pulse until the
slave is done preparing the transmit data. The transmit
data must be loaded into the SSPxBUF register, which
also loads the SSPxSR register. Then, the SCLx pin
should be enabled by setting bit, CKP
(SSPxCON1<4>). The eight data bits are shifted out on
the falling edge of the SCLx input. This ensures that the
SDAx signal is valid during the SCLx high time
(Figure 19-10).
The ACK pulse from the master-receiver is latched on
the rising edge of the ninth SCLx input pulse. If the
SDAx line is high (not ACK), then the data transfer is
complete. In this case, when the ACK is latched by the
slave, the slave monitors for another occurrence of the
Start bit. If the SDAx line was low (ACK), the next transmit data must be loaded into the SSPxBUF register.
Again, the SCLx pin must be enabled by setting bit,
CKP.
An MSSP interrupt is generated for each data transfer
byte. The SSPxIF bit must be cleared in software and
the SSPxSTAT register is used to determine the status
of the byte. The SSPxIF bit is set on the falling edge of
the ninth clock pulse.

DS39932D-page 305
PIC18F46J11 FAMILY
19.5.4
CLOCK STRETCHING
Both 7-Bit and 10-Bit Slave modes implement
automatic clock stretching during a transmit sequence.
The SEN bit (SSPxCON2<0>) allows clock stretching
to be enabled during receives. Setting SEN will cause
the SCLx pin to be held low at the end of each data
receive sequence.
19.5.4.1
Clock Stretching for 7-Bit Slave
Receive Mode (SEN = 1)
In 7-Bit Slave Receive mode, on the falling edge of the
ninth clock at the end of the ACK sequence, if the BF
bit is set, the CKP bit in the SSPxCON1 register is
automatically cleared, forcing the SCLx output to be
held low. The CKP bit being cleared to ‘0’ will assert
the SCLx line low. The CKP bit must be set in the
user’s ISR before reception is allowed to continue. By
holding the SCLx line low, the user has time to service
the ISR and read the contents of the SSPxBUF before
the master device can initiate another receive
sequence. This will prevent buffer overruns from
occurring (see Figure 19-15).
Note 1: If the user reads the contents of the
SSPxBUF before the falling edge of the
ninth clock, thus clearing the BF bit, the
CKP bit will not be cleared and clock
stretching will not occur.
2: The CKP bit can be set in software
regardless of the state of the BF bit. The
user should be careful to clear the BF bit
in the ISR before the next receive
sequence in order to prevent an overflow
condition.
19.5.4.2
19.5.4.3
Clock Stretching for 7-Bit Slave
Transmit Mode
The 7-Bit Slave Transmit mode implements clock
stretching by clearing the CKP bit after the falling edge
of the ninth clock if the BF bit is clear. This occurs
regardless of the state of the SEN bit.
The user’s Interrupt Service Routine (ISR) must set
the CKP bit before transmission is allowed to continue.
By holding the SCLx line low, the user has time to
service the ISR and load the contents of the SSPxBUF
before the master device can initiate another transmit
sequence (see Figure 19-10).
Note 1: If the user loads the contents of
SSPxBUF, setting the BF bit before the
falling edge of the ninth clock, the CKP bit
will not be cleared and clock stretching
will not occur.
2: The CKP bit can be set in software
regardless of the state of the BF bit.
19.5.4.4
Clock Stretching for 10-Bit Slave
Transmit Mode
In 10-Bit Slave Transmit mode, clock stretching is
controlled during the first two address sequences by
the state of the UA bit, just as it is in 10-Bit Slave
Receive mode. The first two addresses are followed
by a third address sequence, which contains the
high-order bits of the 10-bit address and the R/W bit
set to ‘1’. After the third address sequence is
performed, the UA bit is not set, the module is now
configured in Transmit mode and clock stretching is
controlled by the BF flag as in 7-Bit Slave Transmit
mode (see Figure 19-13).
Clock Stretching for 10-Bit Slave
Receive Mode (SEN = 1)
In 10-Bit Slave Receive mode, during the address
sequence, clock stretching automatically takes place
but CKP is not cleared. During this time, if the UA bit is
set after the ninth clock, clock stretching is initiated.
The UA bit is set after receiving the upper byte of the
10-bit address and following the receive of the second
byte of the 10-bit address with the R/W bit cleared to
‘0’. The release of the clock line occurs upon updating
SSPxADD. Clock stretching will occur on each data
receive sequence as described in 7-bit mode.
Note:
If the user polls the UA bit and clears it by
updating the SSPxADD register before the
falling edge of the ninth clock occurs, and
if the user has not cleared the BF bit by
reading the SSPxBUF register before that
time, then the CKP bit will still NOT be
asserted low. Clock stretching on the basis
of the state of the BF bit only occurs during
a data sequence, not an address
sequence.

19.5.4.5
Clock Synchronization and CKP bit
already asserted the SCLx line. The SCLx output will
remain low until the CKP bit is set and all other
devices on the I2C bus have deasserted SCLx. This
ensures that a write to the CKP bit will not violate the
minimum high time requirement for SCLx (see
Figure 19-14).
When the CKP bit is cleared, the SCLx output is forced
to ‘0’. However, clearing the CKP bit will not assert the
SCLx output low until the SCLx output is already
sampled low. Therefore, the CKP bit will not assert the
SCLx line until an external I2C master device has

GENERAL CALL ADDRESS
SUPPORT
If the general call address matches, the SSPxSR is
transferred to the SSPxBUF, the BF flag bit is set (eighth
bit), and on the falling edge of the ninth bit (ACK bit), the
SSPxIF interrupt flag bit is set.
The addressing procedure for the I2C bus is such that
the first byte after the Start condition usually
determines which device will be the slave addressed by
the master. The exception is the general call address
which can address all devices. When this address is
used, all devices should, in theory, respond with an
Acknowledge.
When the interrupt is serviced, the source for the
interrupt can be checked by reading the contents of the
SSPxBUF. The value can be used to determine if the
address was device-specific or a general call address.
In 10-bit mode, the SSPxADD is required to be updated
for the second half of the address to match and the UA
bit is set (SSPxSTAT<1>). If the general call address is
sampled when the GCEN bit is set, while the slave is
configured in 10-Bit Addressing mode, then the second
half of the address is not necessary, the UA bit will not
be set and the slave will begin receiving data after the
Acknowledge (Figure 19-17).
The general call address is one of eight addresses
reserved for specific purposes by the I2C protocol. It
consists of all ‘0’s with R/W = 0.
The general call address is recognized when the
General Call Enable bit, GCEN, is enabled
(SSPxCON2<7> set). Following a Start bit detect, 8 bits
are shifted into the SSPxSR and the address is
compared against the SSPxADD. It is also compared to
the general call address and fixed in hardware.

MASTER MODE
Master mode is enabled by setting and clearing the
appropriate SSPM bits in SSPxCON1 and by setting
the SSPEN bit. In Master mode, the SCLx and SDAx
lines are manipulated by the MSSP hardware if the
TRIS bits are set.
Master mode of operation is supported by interrupt
generation on the detection of the Start and Stop conditions. The Start (S) and Stop (P) bits are cleared from
a Reset or when the MSSP module is disabled. Control
of the I2C bus may be taken when the Stop bit is set, or
the bus is Idle, with both the Start and Stop bits clear.
Once Master mode is enabled, the user has six
options.

The following events will cause the MSSP Interrupt
Flag bit, SSPxIF, to be set (and MSSP interrupt, if
enabled):
The MSSP module, when configured in
I2C Master mode, does not allow queueing
of events. For instance, the user is not
allowed to initiate a Start condition and
immediately write the SSPxBUF register
to initiate transmission before the Start
condition is complete. In this case, the
SSPxBUF will not be written to and the
WCOL bit will be set, indicating that a write
to the SSPxBUF did not occur.

I2C Master Mode Operation
The master device generates all of the serial clock
pulses and the Start and Stop conditions. A transfer is
ended with a Stop condition or with a Repeated Start
condition. Since the Repeated Start condition is also
the beginning of the next serial transfer, the I2C bus will
not be released.
In Master Transmitter mode, serial data is output
through SDAx while SCLx outputs the serial clock. The
first byte transmitted contains the slave address of the
receiving device (7 bits) and the Read/Write (R/W) bit.
In this case, the R/W bit will be logic ‘0’. Serial data is
transmitted 8 bits at a time. After each byte is transmitted, an Acknowledge bit is received. S and P conditions
are output to indicate the beginning and the end of a
serial transfer.

In Master Receive mode, the first byte transmitted
contains the slave address of the transmitting device
(7 bits) and the R/W bit. In this case, the R/W bit will be
logic ‘1’. Thus, the first byte transmitted is a 7-bit slave
address, followed by a ‘1’ to indicate the receive bit.
Serial data is received via SDAx, while SCLx outputs
the serial clock. Serial data is received 8 bits at a time.
After each byte is received, an Acknowledge bit is
transmitted. S and P conditions indicate the beginning
and end of transmission.
The BRG, used for the SPI mode operation, is used to
set the SCLx clock frequency for either 100 kHz,
400 kHz or 1 MHz I2C operation. See Section 19.5.7
“Baud Rate” for more details.

A typical transmit sequence would go as follows:
1.
The user generates a Start condition by setting
the Start Enable bit, SEN (SSPxCON2<0>).
2. SSPxIF is set. The MSSP module will wait for
the required start time before any other
operation takes place.
3. The user loads the SSPxBUF with the slave
address to transmit.
4. Address is shifted out of the SDAx pin until all
8 bits are transmitted.
5. The MSSP module shifts in the ACK bit from the
slave device and writes its value into the
SSPxCON2 register (SSPxCON2<6>).
6. The MSSP module generates an interrupt at the
end of the ninth clock cycle by setting the
SSPxIF bit.
7. The user loads the SSPxBUF with 8 bits of data.
8. Data is shifted out the SDAx pin until all 8 bits

BAUD RATE
2
In I C Master mode, the BRG reload value is placed in
the lower seven bits of the SSPxADD register
(Figure 19-19). When a write occurs to SSPxBUF, the
Baud Rate Generator will automatically begin counting.
The BRG counts down to 0 and stops until another
reload has taken place. The BRG count is decremented twice per instruction cycle (TCY) on the Q2 and
Q4 clocks. In I2C Master mode, the BRG is reloaded
automatically.
Once the given operation is complete (i.e., transmission of the last data bit is followed by ACK), the internal
clock will automatically stop counting and the SCLx pin
will remain in its last state.
Table 19-3 demonstrates clock rates based on
instruction cycles and the BRG value loaded into
SSPxADD. The SSPADD BRG value of 0x00 is not
supported.

Baud Rate and Module
Interdependence
Because this mode derives its basic clock source from
the system clock, any changes to the clock will affect
both modules in the same proportion. It may be
possible to change one or both baud rates back to a
previous value by changing the BRG reload value.
Because MSSP1 and MSSP2 are independent, they
can operate simultaneously in I2C Master mode at
different baud rates. This is done by using different
BRG reload values for each module.

BRG is reloaded with the contents of SSPxADD<6:0>
and begins counting. This ensures that the SCLx high
time will always be at least one BRG rollover count in
the event that the clock is held low by an external

Clock arbitration occurs when the master, during any

Note:
To initiate a Start condition, the user sets the Start
Enable bit, SEN (SSPxCON2<0>). If the SDAx and
SCLx pins are sampled high, the BRG is reloaded with
the contents of SSPxADD<6:0> and starts its count. If
SCLx and SDAx are both sampled high when the Baud
Rate Generator times out (TBRG), the SDAx pin is
driven low. The action of the SDAx being driven low
while SCLx is high is the Start condition and causes the
Start bit (SSPxSTAT<3>) to be set. Following this, the
BRG is reloaded with the contents of SSPxADD<6:0>
and resumes its count. When the BRG times out
(TBRG), the SEN bit (SSPxCON2<0>) will be
automatically cleared by hardware. The BRG is

START CONDITION TIMING
Note 1: If RSEN is programmed while any other
event is in progress, it will not take effect.
A Repeated Start condition occurs when the RSEN bit
(SSPxCON2<1>) is programmed high and the I2C logic
module is in the Idle state. When the RSEN bit is set,
the SCLx pin is asserted low. When the SCLx pin is
sampled low, the BRG is loaded with the contents of
SSPxADD<5:0> and begins counting. The SDAx pin is
released (brought high) for one BRG count (TBRG).
When the BRG times out, and if SDAx is sampled high,
the SCLx pin will be deasserted (brought high). When
SCLx is sampled high, the BRG is reloaded with the
contents of SSPxADD<6:0> and begins counting.
SDAx and SCLx must be sampled high for one TBRG.
This action is then followed by assertion of the SDAx
pin (SDAx = 0) for one TBRG while SCLx is high.
Following this, the RSEN bit (SSPxCON2<1>) will be
automatically cleared and the BRG will not be
reloaded, leaving the SDAx pin held low. As soon as a
Start condition is detected on the SDAx and SCLx pins,
the Start bit (SSPxSTAT<3>) will be set. The SSPxIF bit
will not be set until the BRG has timed out.
2: A bus collision during the Repeated Start
condition occurs if:
• SDAx is sampled low when SCLx
goes from low-to-high.
• SCLx goes low before SDAx is
asserted low. This may indicate that
another master is attempting to
transmit a data ‘1’.
Immediately following the SSPxIF bit getting set, the
user may write the SSPxBUF with the 7-bit address in
7-bit mode, or the default first address in 10-bit mode.
After the first eight bits are transmitted and an ACK is
received, the user may then transmit an additional 8 bits
of address (10-bit mode) or 8 bits of data (7-bit mode).
19.5.9.1
If the user writes the SSPxBUF when a Repeated Start
sequence is in progress, the WCOL is set and the

I2C MASTER MODE
TRANSMISSION
Transmission of a data byte, a 7-bit address or the
other half of a 10-bit address, is accomplished by
simply writing a value to the SSPxBUF register. This
action will set the Buffer Full flag bit, BF, and allow the
BRG to begin counting and start the next transmission.
Each bit of address/data will be shifted out onto the
SDAx pin after the falling edge of SCLx is asserted (see
data hold time specification parameter 106). SCLx is
held low for one BRG rollover count (TBRG). Data
should be valid before SCLx is released high (see data
setup time specification parameter 107). When the
SCLx pin is released high, it is held that way for TBRG.
The data on the SDAx pin must remain stable for that
duration and some hold time after the next falling edge
of SCLx. After the eighth bit is shifted out (the falling
edge of the eighth clock), the BF flag is cleared and the
master releases SDAx. This allows the slave device
being addressed to respond with an ACK bit during the
ninth bit time if an address match occurred, or if data
was received properly. The status of ACK is written into
the ACKDT bit on the falling edge of the ninth clock.
If the master receives an Acknowledge, the Acknowledge Status bit, ACKSTAT, is cleared; if not, the bit is
set. After the ninth clock, the SSPxIF bit is set and the
master clock (BRG) is suspended until the next data
byte is loaded into the SSPxBUF, leaving SCLx low and
SDAx unchanged (Figure 19-23).
After the write to the SSPxBUF, each bit of the address
will be shifted out on the falling edge of SCLx until all
seven address bits and the R/W bit are completed. On
the falling edge of the eighth clock, the master will
deassert the SDAx pin, allowing the slave to respond
with an Acknowledge. On the falling edge of the ninth
clock, the master will sample the SDAx pin to see if the
address was recognized by a slave. The status of the
ACK bit is loaded into the ACKSTAT status bit
(SSPxCON2<6>). Following the falling edge of the
ninth clock transmission of the address, the SSPxIF
flag is set, the BF flag is cleared and the BRG is turned
off until another write to the SSPxBUF takes place,
holding SCLx low and allowing SDAx to float.
19.5.10.1
BF Status Flag
In Transmit mode, the BF bit (SSPxSTAT<0>) is set
when the CPU writes to SSPxBUF and is cleared when
all eight bits are shifted out.
19.5.10.2
The user should verify that the WCOL bit is clear after
each write to SSPxBUF to ensure the transfer is correct.
In all cases, WCOL must be cleared in software.
19.5.10.3
ACKSTAT Status Flag
In Transmit mode, the ACKSTAT bit (SSPxCON2<6>)
is cleared when the slave has sent an Acknowledge
(ACK = 0) and is set when the slave does not Acknowledge (ACK = 1). A slave sends an Acknowledge when
it has recognized its address (including a general call),
or when the slave has properly received its data.
19.5.11
I2C MASTER MODE RECEPTION
Master mode reception is enabled by programming the
Receive Enable bit, RCEN (SSPxCON2<3>).
Note:
The MSSP module must be in an inactive
state before the RCEN bit is set or the
RCEN bit will be disregarded.
The BRG begins counting and on each rollover, the
state of the SCLx pin changes (high-to-low/low-to-high)
and data is shifted into the SSPxSR. After the falling
edge of the eighth clock, the receive enable flag is
automatically cleared, the contents of the SSPxSR are
loaded into the SSPxBUF, the BF flag bit is set, the
SSPxIF flag bit is set and the BRG is suspended from
counting, holding SCLx low. The MSSP is now in Idle
state awaiting the next command. When the buffer is
read by the CPU, the BF flag bit is automatically
cleared. The user can then send an Acknowledge bit at
the end of reception by setting the Acknowledge
Sequence Enable bit, ACKEN (SSPxCON2<4>).
19.5.11.1
BF Status Flag
In receive operation, the BF bit is set when an address
or data byte is loaded into SSPxBUF from SSPxSR. It
is cleared when the SSPxBUF register is read.
19.5.11.2
SSPOV Status Flag
In receive operation, the SSPOV bit is set when 8 bits
are received into the SSPxSR and the BF flag bit is
already set from a previous reception.
19.5.11.3
WCOL Status Flag
If users write the SSPxBUF when a receive is already
in progress (i.e., SSPxSR is still shifting in a data byte),
the WCOL bit is set and the contents of the buffer are
unchanged (the write does not occur).
WCOL Status Flag
If the user writes the SSPxBUF when a transmit is
already in progress (i.e., SSPxSR is still shifting out a
data byte), the WCOL bit is set and the contents of the
buffer are unchanged (the write does not occur) after
2 TCY after the SSPxBUF write. If SSPxBUF is rewritten
within 2 TCY, the WCOL bit is set and SSPxBUF is
updated. This may result in a corrupted transfer.

ACKNOWLEDGE SEQUENCE
TIMING
19.5.13
A Stop bit is asserted on the SDAx pin at the end of a
receive/transmit by setting the Stop Sequence Enable
bit, PEN (SSPxCON2<2>). At the end of a
receive/transmit, the SCLx line is held low after the
falling edge of the ninth clock. When the PEN bit is set,
the master will assert the SDAx line low. When the
SDAx line is sampled low, the BRG is reloaded and
counts down to 0. When the BRG times out, the SCLx
pin will be brought high and one Baud Rate Generator
rollover count (TBRG) later, the SDAx pin will be deasserted. When the SDAx pin is sampled high while SCLx
is high, the Stop bit (SSPxSTAT<4>) is set. A TBRG
later, the PEN bit is cleared and the SSPxIF bit is set
(Figure 19-26).
An Acknowledge sequence is enabled by setting the
Acknowledge Sequence Enable bit, ACKEN
(SSPxCON2<4>). When this bit is set, the SCLx pin is
pulled low and the contents of the Acknowledge data bit
are presented on the SDAx pin. If the user wishes to
generate an Acknowledge, then the ACKDT bit should
be cleared. If not, the user should set the ACKDT bit
before starting an Acknowledge sequence. The BRG
then counts for one rollover period (TBRG) and the SCLx
pin is deasserted (pulled high). When the SCLx pin is
sampled high (clock arbitration), the BRG counts for
TBRG; the SCLx pin is then pulled low. Following this, the
ACKEN bit is automatically cleared, the BRG is turned
off and the MSSP module then goes into an inactive

with both the Start and Stop bits clear. When the bus is
busy, enabling the MSSP interrupt will generate the
interrupt when the Stop condition occurs.
In multi-master operation, the SDAx line must be
monitored for arbitration to see if the signal level is the
expected output level. This check is performed in
hardware with the result placed in the BCLxIF bit.

19.5.17
If a transmit was in progress when the bus collision
occurred, the transmission is halted, the BF flag is
cleared, the SDAx and SCLx lines are deasserted and
the SSPxBUF can be written to. When the user services
the bus collision Interrupt Service Routine and if the I2C
bus is free, the user can resume communication by
asserting a Start condition.
If a Start, Repeated Start, Stop or Acknowledge condition
was in progress when the bus collision occurred, the condition is aborted, the SDAx and SCLx lines are
deasserted and the respective control bits in the
SSPxCON2 register are cleared. When the user services
the bus collision Interrupt Service Routine (ISR), and if
the I2C bus is free, the user can resume communication
by asserting a Start condition.
The master will continue to monitor the SDAx and SCLx
pins. If a Stop condition occurs, the SSPxIF bit will be set.
A write to the SSPxBUF will start the transmission of
data at the first data bit regardless of where the
transmitter left off when the bus collision occurred.
The states where arbitration can be lost are:
•
•
•
•
•
puts a ‘1’ on SDAx, by letting SDAx float high and
another master asserts a ‘0’. When the SCLx pin floats
high, data should be stable. If the expected data on
SDAx is a ‘1’ and the data sampled on the SDAx pin = 0,
then a bus collision has taken place. The master will set
the Bus Collision Interrupt Flag, BCLxIF, and reset the
I2C port to its Idle state (Figure 19-27).
MULTI -MASTER
COMMUNICATION, BUS COLLISION
AND BUS ARBITRATION
In Multi-Master mode, the interrupt generation on the
detection of Start and Stop conditions allows the determination of when the bus is free. Control of the I2C bus
can be taken when the Stop bit is set in the SSPxSTAT
register, or the bus is Idle and the Start and Stop bits
are cleared.
Multi-Master mode support is achieved by bus arbitration. When the master outputs address/data bits onto the
SDAx pin, arbitration takes place when the master out-

Bus Collision During a Start
Condition
During a Start condition, a bus collision occurs if:
a)
b)
SDAx or SCLx is sampled low at the beginning
of the Start condition (Figure 19-28).
SCLx is sampled low before SDAx is asserted
low (Figure 19-29).
During a Start condition, both the SDAx and the SCLx
pins are monitored.
If the SDAx pin is sampled low during this count, the
BRG is reset and the SDAx line is asserted early
(Figure 19-30). If, however, a ‘1’ is sampled on the
SDAx pin, the SDAx pin is asserted low at the end of
the BRG count. The BRG is then reloaded and counts
down to 0. If the SCLx pin is sampled as ‘0’ during this
time, a bus collision does not occur. At the end of the
BRG count, the SCLx pin is asserted low.
Note:
If the SDAx pin is already low, or the SCLx pin is
already low, then all of the following occur:
• The Start condition is aborted
• The BCLxIF flag is set
• The MSSP module is reset to its inactive state
(Figure 19-28)
The Start condition begins with the SDAx and SCLx
pins deasserted. When the SDAx pin is sampled high,
the BRG is loaded from SSPxADD<6:0> and counts
down to 0. If the SCLx pin is sampled low while SDAx
is high, a bus collision occurs because it is assumed
that another master is attempting to drive a data ‘1’
during the Start condition.
FIGURE 19-28:
The reason that bus collision is not a factor during a Start condition is that no two
bus masters can assert a Start condition
at the exact same time. Therefore, one
master will always assert SDAx before the
other. This condition does not cause a bus
collision because the two masters must be
allowed to arbitrate the first address
following the Start condition. If the address
is the same, arbitration must be allowed to
continue into the data portion, Repeated
Start or Stop conditions.

19.5.17.2
Bus Collision During a Repeated
Start Condition
If SDAx is low, a bus collision has occurred (i.e., another
master is attempting to transmit a data ‘0’, see
Figure 19-31). If SDAx is sampled high, the BRG is
reloaded and begins counting. If SDAx goes from
high-to-low before the BRG times out, no bus collision
occurs because no two masters can assert SDAx at
exactly the same time.
During a Repeated Start condition, a bus collision
occurs if:
a)
b)
A low level is sampled on SDAx when SCLx
goes from a low level to a high level.
SCLx goes low before SDAx is asserted low,
indicating that another master is attempting to
transmit a data ‘1’.
If SCLx goes from high-to-low before the BRG times
out and SDAx has not already been asserted, a bus
collision occurs. In this case, another master is
attempting to transmit a data ‘1’ during the Repeated
Start condition (see Figure 19-32).
When the user deasserts SDAx and the pin is allowed
to float high, the BRG is loaded with SSPxADD<6:0>
and counts down to 0. The SCLx pin is then deasserted
and when sampled high, the SDAx pin is sampled.
FIGURE 19-31:
If, at the end of the BRG time-out, both SCLx and SDAx
are still high, the SDAx pin is driven low and the BRG is
reloaded and begins counting. At the end of the count,
regardless of the status of the SCLx pin, the SCLx pin is
driven low and the Repeated Start condition is complete.

Bus Collision During a Stop
Condition
The Stop condition begins with SDAx asserted low.
When SDAx is sampled low, the SCLx pin is allowed to
float. When the pin is sampled high (clock arbitration),
the BRG is loaded with SSPxADD<6:0> and counts
down to 0. After the BRG times out, SDAx is sampled. If
SDAx is sampled low, a bus collision has occurred. This
is due to another master attempting to drive a data ‘0’
(Figure 19-33). If the SCLx pin is sampled low before
SDAx is allowed to float high, a bus collision occurs. This
is another case of another master attempting to drive a
data ‘0’ (Figure 19-34).
Bus collision occurs during a Stop condition if:
a)
b)
After the SDAx pin has been deasserted and
allowed to float high, SDAx is sampled low after
the BRG has timed out.
After the SCLx pin is deasserted, SCLx is
sampled low before SDAx goes high.

ENHANCED UNIVERSAL
SYNCHRONOUS
ASYNCHRONOUS RECEIVER
TRANSMITTER (EUSART)
The Enhanced Universal Synchronous Asynchronous
Receiver Transmitter (EUSART) module is one of two
serial I/O modules. (Generically, the EUSART is also
known as a Serial Communications Interface or SCI.)
The EUSART can be configured as a full-duplex
asynchronous system that can communicate with
peripheral devices, such as CRT terminals and
personal computers. It can also be configured as a
half-duplex synchronous system that can communicate
with peripheral devices, such as A/D or D/A integrated
circuits, serial EEPROMs and so on.
The Enhanced USART module implements additional
features, including automatic baud rate detection and
calibration, automatic wake-up on Sync Break reception and 12-bit Break character transmit. These make it
ideally suited for use in Local Interconnect Network bus
(LIN/J2602 bus) systems.
All members of the PIC18F46J11 family are equipped
with two independent EUSART modules, referred to as
EUSART1 and EUSART2. They can be configured in
the following modes:
• Asynchronous (full-duplex) with:
- Auto-wake-up on character reception
- Auto-baud calibration
- 12-bit Break character transmission
• Synchronous – Master (half-duplex) with
selectable clock polarity
• Synchronous – Slave (half-duplex) with selectable
clock polarity
The pins of EUSART1 and EUSART2 are multiplexed
with the functions of PORTC (RC6/PMA5/TX1/CK1/RP17
and RC7/PMA4/RX1/DT1/RP18) and remapped
(RPn1/TX2/CK2 and RPn2/RX2/DT2), respectively. In
order to configure these pins as an EUSART:
• For EUSART1:
- SPEN bit (RCSTA1<7>) must be set (= 1)
- TRISC<7> bit must be set (= 1)
- TRISC<6> bit must be cleared (= 0) for
Asynchronous and Synchronous Master
modes
- TRISC<6> bit must be set (= 1) for
Synchronous Slave mode
• For EUSART2:
- SPEN bit (RCSTA2<7>) must be set (= 1)
- TRIS bit for RPn2/RX2/DT2 = 1
- TRIS bit for RPn1/TX2/CK2 = 0 for
Asynchronous and Synchronous Master
modes
- TRISC<6> bit must be set (= 1) for
Synchronous Slave mode
Note:
The EUSART control will automatically
reconfigure the pin from input to output as
needed.
The TXx/CKx I/O pins have an optional open-drain
output capability. By default, when this pin is used by
the EUSART as an output, it will function as a standard
push-pull CMOS output. The TXx/CKx I/O pins’
open-drain, output feature can be enabled by setting
the corresponding UxOD bit in the ODCON2 register.
For more details, see Section 19.3.3 “Open-Drain
Output Option”.
The operation of each Enhanced USART module is
controlled through three registers:
• Transmit Status and Control (TXSTAx)
• Receive Status and Control (RCSTAx)
• Baud Rate Control (BAUDCONx)
These are covered in detail in Register 20-1,
Register 20-2 and Register 20-3, respectively.
Note:
 2011 Microchip Technology Inc.
Throughout this section, references to
register and bit names that may be associated with a specific EUSART module are
referred to generically by the use of ‘x’ in
place of the specific module number.
Thus, “RCSTAx” might refer to the
Receive Status register for either
EUSART1 or EUSART2.

Baud Rate Generator (BRG)
The BRG is a dedicated, 8-bit or 16-bit generator that
supports both the Asynchronous and Synchronous
modes of the EUSART. By default, the BRG operates
in 8-bit mode; setting the BRG16 bit (BAUDCONx<3>)
selects 16-bit mode.
The SPBRGHx:SPBRGx register pair controls the period
of a free-running timer. In Asynchronous mode, bits,
BRGH (TXSTAx<2>) and BRG16 (BAUDCONx<3>),
also control the baud rate. In Synchronous mode, BRGH
is ignored.
Table 20-1 provides the formula for computation of the
baud rate for different EUSART modes, which only apply
in Master mode (internally generated clock).
Given the desired baud rate and FOSC, the nearest
integer value for the SPBRGHx:SPBRGx registers can
be calculated using the formulas in Table 20-1. From
this, the error in baud rate can be determined. An
example calculation is provided in Example 20-1.
Typical baud rates and error values for the various
Asynchronous modes are provided in Table 20-2. It
may be advantageous to use the high baud rate
(BRGH = 1) or the 16-bit BRG to reduce the baud rate
error, or achieve a slow baud rate for a fast oscillator
frequency.
TABLE 20-1:
Writing a new value to the SPBRGHx:SPBRGx
registers causes the BRG timer to be reset (or cleared).
This ensures the BRG does not wait for a timer
overflow before outputting the new baud rate.
When operated in the Synchronous mode,
SPBRGH:SPBRG values of 0000h and 0001h are not
supported. In the Asynchronous mode, all BRG values
may be used.
20.1.1
OPERATION IN POWER-MANAGED
MODES
The device clock is used to generate the desired baud
rate. When one of the power-managed modes is
entered, the new clock source may be operating at a
different frequency. This may require an adjustment to
the value in the SPBRGx register pair.

SAMPLING
The
data

the
RXx
pin
(either
RC7/PMA4/RX1/DT1/RP18 or RPn/RX2/DT2) is sampled three times by a majority detect circuit to

pin.

EXAMPLE 20-1:
CALCULATING BAUD RATE ERROR
For a device with Fosc of 16 MHz, desired baud rate of 9600, Asynchronous mode, and
8-bit BRG:
Desired Baud Rate = Fosc/(64 ([SPBRGHx:SPBRGx] + 1))
Solving for SPBRGHx:SPBRGx:
X = ((Fosc/Desired Baud Rate)/64) – 1
= ((16000000/9600)/64) – 1
= [25.042] = 25
Calculated Baud Rate=16000000/(64 (25 + 1))
= 9615
Error = (Calculated Baud Rate – Desired Baud Rate)/Desired Baud Rate
= (9615 – 9600)/9600 = 0.16%

AUTO-BAUD RATE DETECT
The Enhanced USART module supports the automatic
detection and calibration of baud rate. This feature is
active only in Asynchronous mode and while the WUE
bit is clear.
Note 1: If the WUE bit is set with the ABDEN bit,
Auto-Baud Rate Detection will occur on
the byte following the Break character.
2: It is up to the user to determine that the
incoming character baud rate is within the
range of the selected BRG clock source.
Some
combinations
of
oscillator
frequency and EUSART baud rates are
not possible due to bit error rates. Overall
system timing and communication baud
rates must be taken into consideration
when using the Auto-Baud Rate Detection
feature.
The automatic baud rate measurement sequence
(Figure 20-1) begins whenever a Start bit is received
and the ABDEN bit is set. The calculation is
self-averaging.
In the Auto-Baud Rate Detect (ABD) mode, the clock to
the BRG is reversed. Rather than the BRG clocking the
incoming RXx signal, the RXx signal is timing the BRG.
In ABD mode, the internal BRG is used as a counter to
time the bit period of the incoming serial byte stream.
Once the ABDEN bit is set, the state machine will clear
the BRG and look for a Start bit. The ABD must receive
a byte with the value, 55h (ASCII “U”, which is also the
LIN/J2602 bus Sync character), in order to calculate the
proper bit rate. The measurement is taken over both a
low and high bit time in order to minimize any effects
caused by asymmetry of the incoming signal. After a
Start bit, the SPBRGx begins counting up, using the preselected clock source on the first rising edge of RXx.
After eight bits on the RXx pin or the fifth rising edge, an
accumulated value totaling the proper BRG period is left
in the SPBRGHx:SPBRGx register pair. Once the 5th
edge is seen (this should correspond to the Stop bit), the
ABDEN bit is automatically cleared.
If a rollover of the BRG occurs (an overflow from FFFFh
to 0000h), the event is trapped by the ABDOVF status
bit (BAUDCONx<7>). It is set in hardware by BRG rollovers and can be set or cleared by the user in software.
ABD mode remains active after rollover events and the
ABDEN bit remains set (Figure 20-2).
While calibrating the baud rate period, the BRG
registers are clocked at 1/8th the preconfigured clock
rate. Note that the BRG clock can be configured by the
BRG16 and BRGH bits. The BRG16 bit must be set to
use both SPBRG1 and SPBRGH1 as a 16-bit counter.
This allows the user to verify that no carry occurred for
8-bit modes by checking for 00h in the SPBRGHx
register.
3: To maximize the baud rate range, it is
recommended to set the BRG16 bit if the
auto-baud feature is used.

ABD and EUSART Transmission
Since the BRG clock is reversed during ABD acquisition, the EUSART transmitter cannot be used during
ABD. This means that whenever the ABDEN bit is set,
TXREGx cannot be written to. Users should also
ensure that ABDEN does not become set during a
transmit sequence. Failing to do this may result in
unpredictable EUSART operation.
Refer to Table 20-4 for counter clock rates to the BRG.
While the ABD sequence takes place, the EUSART
state machine is held in Idle. The RCxIF interrupt is set
once the fifth rising edge on RXx is detected. The value
in the RCREGx needs to be read to clear the RCxIF
interrupt. The contents of RCREGx should be
discarded.

20.2
Once the TXREGx register transfers the data to the TSR
register (occurs in one TCY), the TXREGx register is
empty and the TXxIF flag bit is set. This interrupt can be
enabled or disabled by setting or clearing the interrupt
enable bit, TXxIE. TXxIF will be set regardless of the
state of TXxIE; it cannot be cleared in software. TXxIF is
also not cleared immediately upon loading TXREGx, but
becomes valid in the second instruction cycle following
the load instruction. Polling TXxIF immediately following
a load of TXREGx will return invalid results.
EUSART Asynchronous Mode
The Asynchronous mode of operation is selected by
clearing the SYNC bit (TXSTAx<4>). In this mode, the
EUSART uses standard Non-Return-to-Zero (NRZ)
format (one Start bit, eight or nine data bits and one Stop
bit). The most common data format is 8 bits. An on-chip
dedicated 8-bit/16-bit BRG can be used to derive
standard baud rate frequencies from the oscillator.
The EUSART transmits and receives the LSb first. The
EUSART’s transmitter and receiver are functionally
independent but use the same data format and baud
rate. The BRG produces a clock, either x16 or x64 of the
bit shift rate, depending on the BRGH and BRG16 bits
(TXSTAx<2> and BAUDCONx<3>). Parity is not
supported by the hardware but can be implemented in
software and stored as the ninth data bit.
While TXxIF indicates the status of the TXREGx
register; another bit, TRMT (TXSTAx<1>), shows the
status of the TSR register. TRMT is a read-only bit,
which is set when the TSR register is empty. No interrupt logic is tied to this bit so the user has to poll this bit
in order to determine if the TSR register is empty.
When operating in Asynchronous mode, the EUSART
module consists of the following important elements:

The heart of the transmitter is the Transmit (Serial) Shift

the Read/Write Transmit Buffer register, TXREGx. The
TXREGx register is loaded with data in software. The
TSR register is not loaded until the Stop bit has been
transmitted from the previous load. As soon as the Stop
bit is transmitted, the TSR is loaded with new data from
the TXREGx register (if available).

20.2.2
EUSART ASYNCHRONOUS
RECEIVER
The receiver block diagram is displayed in Figure 20-6.
The data is received on the RXx pin and drives the data
recovery block. The data recovery block is actually a
high-speed shifter operating at x16 times the baud rate,
whereas the main receive serial shifter operates at the
bit rate or at FOSC. This mode would typically be used
in RS-232 systems.
20.2.2.1
Receiving Data
The receiver data recovery circuit initiates character
reception on the falling edge of the first bit. The first
bit, also known as the Start bit, is always a zero (after
accounting for RXDTP setting). Following the Start bit
will be the Least Significant bit of the data character
being received. As each bit is received, the value will
be sampled and shifted into the Receive Shift Register
(RSR). After all 8 or 9 data bits (user selectable option)
of the character have been shifted in, one final bit time
is measured and the level sampled. This is the Stop
bit, which should always be a ‘1’ (after accounting for
RXDTP setting). If the data recovery circuit samples a
‘0’ in the Stop bit position then a framing error (FERR)
is set for this character, otherwise the framing error is
cleared for this character.
Once all data bits of the character and the Stop bit has
been received, the data bits in the RSR will
immediately be transferred to a two character
First-In-First-Out (FIFO) memory. The FIFO buffering
allows reception of two complete characters before
software is required to service the EUSART receiver.
The RSR register is not directly accessible by
software. Firmware can read data from the FIFO by
reading the RCREGx register. Each firmware initiated
read from the RCREGx register will advance the FIFO
by one character, and will clear the receive interrupt
flag (RCxIF), if no additional data exists in the FIFO.
20.2.2.2
Receive Overrun Error
If the user firmware allows the FIFO to become full,
and a third character is received before the firmware
reads from RCREGx, a buffer overrun error condition
will occur. In this case, the hardware will block the
RSR contents (the third byte received) from being
copied into the receive FIFO, the character will be lost
and the OERR status bit in the RCSTAx register will
become set. If an OERR condition is allowed to occur,
firmware must clear the condition by clearing and then
resetting CREN, before additional characters can be
successfully received.
Note:
If the receive FIFO is overrun, no additional characters will be received until the
overrun condition is cleared.
20.2.2.3
Setting Up Asynchronous Receive
To set up an Asynchronous Reception:
1.
Initialize the SPBRGHx:SPBRGx registers for
the appropriate baud rate. Set or clear the
BRGH and BRG16 bits, as required, to achieve
the desired baud rate.
2. Enable the asynchronous serial port by clearing
bit, SYNC, and setting bit, SPEN.
3. If interrupts are desired, set enable bit, RCxIE.
4. If 9-bit reception is desired, set bit, RX9.
5. Enable the reception by setting bit, CREN.
6. Flag bit, RCxIF, will be set when reception is
complete and an interrupt will be generated if
enable bit, RCxIE, was set.
7. Read the RCSTAx register to get the ninth bit (if
enabled) and determine if any error occurred
during reception.
8. Read the 8-bit received data by reading the
RCREGx register.
9. If any error occurred, clear the error by clearing
enable bit, CREN.
10. If using interrupts, ensure that the GIE and PEIE
bits in the INTCON register (INTCON<7:6>) are
set.

20.2.4
AUTO-WAKE-UP ON SYNC BREAK
CHARACTER
During Sleep mode, all clocks to the EUSART are
suspended. Because of this, the BRG is inactive and a
proper byte reception cannot be performed. The
auto-wake-up feature allows the controller to wake-up
due to activity on the RXx/DTx line while the EUSART
is operating in Asynchronous mode.
The auto-wake-up feature is enabled by setting the
WUE bit (BAUDCONx<1>). Once set, the typical
receive sequence on RXx/DTx is disabled and the
EUSART remains in an Idle state, monitoring for a
wake-up event independent of the CPU mode. A
wake-up event consists of a high-to-low transition on
the RXx/DTx line. (This coincides with the start of a
Sync Break or a Wake-up Signal character for the
LIN/J2602 protocol.)
Following a wake-up event, the module generates an
RCxIF interrupt. The interrupt is generated synchronously to the Q clocks in normal operating modes
(Figure 20-8) and asynchronously if the device is in
Sleep mode (Figure 20-9). The interrupt condition is
cleared by reading the RCREGx register.
 2011 Microchip Technology Inc.
DS39932D-page 341
PIC18F46J11 FAMILY
20.2.4.2
The WUE bit is automatically cleared once a
low-to-high transition is observed on the RXx line
following the wake-up event. At this point, the EUSART
module is in Idle mode and returns to normal operation.
This signals to the user that the Sync Break event is
over.
20.2.4.1
The timing of WUE and RCxIF events may cause some
confusion when it comes to determining the validity of
received data. As noted, setting the WUE bit places the
EUSART in an Idle mode. The wake-up event causes a
receive interrupt by setting the RCxIF bit. The WUE bit
is cleared after this when a rising edge is seen on
RXx/DTx. The interrupt condition is then cleared by
reading the RCREGx register. Ordinarily, the data in
RCREGx will be dummy data and should be discarded.
Special Considerations Using
Auto-Wake-up
Since auto-wake-up functions by sensing rising edge
transitions on RXx/DTx, information with any state
changes before the Stop bit may signal a false
End-Of-Character (EOC) and cause data or framing
errors. To work properly, therefore, the initial character
in the transmission must be all ‘0’s. This can be 00h
(8 bits) for standard RS-232 devices or 000h (12 bits)
for LIN/J2602 bus.
The fact that the WUE bit has been cleared (or is still
set) and the RCxIF flag is set should not be used as an
indicator of the integrity of the data in RCREGx. Users
should consider implementing a parallel method in
firmware to verify received data integrity.
To assure that no actual data is lost, check the RCIDL
bit to verify that a receive operation is not in process. If
a receive operation is not occurring, the WUE bit may
then be set just prior to entering the Sleep mode.
Oscillator start-up time must also be considered,
especially in applications using oscillators with
longer start-up intervals (i.e., HS or HSPLL mode).
The Sync Break (or Wake-up Signal) character must
be of sufficient length and be followed by a sufficient
interval to allow enough time for the selected
oscillator to start and provide proper initialization of
the EUSART.

20.2.5
BREAK CHARACTER SEQUENCE
The EUSART module has the capability of sending the
special Break character sequences that are required by
the LIN/J2602 bus standard. The Break character
transmit consists of a Start bit, followed by twelve ‘0’
bits and a Stop bit. The Frame Break character is sent
whenever the SENDB and TXEN bits (TXSTAx<3> and
TXSTAx<5>) are set while the Transmit Shift Register
is loaded with data.
Note that the value of data written to TXREGx will be
ignored and all ‘0’s will be transmitted.
The SENDB bit is automatically reset by hardware after
the corresponding Stop bit is sent. This allows the user
to preload the transmit FIFO with the next transmit byte
following the Break character (typically, the Sync
character in the LIN/J2602 specification).
Note that the data value written to the TXREGx for the
Break character is ignored. The write simply serves the
purpose of initiating the proper sequence.
The TRMT bit indicates when the transmit operation is
active or Idle, just as it does during normal transmission. See Figure 20-10 for the timing of the Break
character sequence.
20.2.5.1
Break and Sync Transmit Sequence
The following sequence will send a message frame
header made up of a Break, followed by an Auto-Baud
Sync byte. This sequence is typical of a LIN/J2602 bus
master.
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Configure the EUSART for the desired mode.
Set the TXEN and SENDB bits to set up the
Break character.
Load the TXREGx with a dummy character to
initiate transmission (the value is ignored).
Write ‘55h’ to TXREGx to load the Sync
character into the transmit FIFO buffer.
After the Break has been sent, the SENDB bit is
reset by hardware. The Sync character now
transmits in the preconfigured mode.
When the TXREGx becomes empty, as indicated by the
TXxIF, the next data byte can be written to TXREGx.
20.2.6
RECEIVING A BREAK CHARACTER
The Enhanced USART module can receive a Break
character in two ways.
The first method forces configuration of the baud rate
at a frequency of 9/13 the typical speed. This allows for
the Stop bit transition to be at the correct sampling
location (13 bits for Break versus Start bit and 8 data
bits for typical data).
The second method uses the auto-wake-up feature
described in Section 20.2.4 “Auto-Wake-up on Sync
Break Character”. By enabling this feature, the
EUSART will sample the next two transitions on
RXx/DTx, cause an RCxIF interrupt and receive the
next data byte followed by another interrupt.
Note that following a Break character, the user will
typically want to enable the Auto-Baud Rate Detect
feature. For both methods, the user can set the ABDEN
bit once the TXxIF interrupt is observed.

Once the TXREGx register transfers the data to the
TSR register (occurs in one TCY), the TXREGx is empty
and the TXxIF flag bit is set. The interrupt can be
enabled or disabled by setting or clearing the interrupt
enable bit, TXxIE. TXxIF is set regardless of the state
of enable bit, TXxIE; it cannot be cleared in software. It
will reset only when new data is loaded into the
TXREGx register.
EUSART Synchronous Master
Mode
The Synchronous Master mode is entered by setting
the CSRC bit (TXSTAx<7>). In this mode, the data is
transmitted in a half-duplex manner (i.e., transmission
and reception do not occur at the same time). When
transmitting data, the reception is inhibited and vice
versa. Synchronous mode is entered by setting bit,
SYNC (TXSTAx<4>). In addition, enable bit, SPEN
(RCSTAx<7>), is set in order to configure the TXx and
RXx pins to CKx (clock) and DTx (data) lines,
respectively.
While flag bit, TXxIF, indicates the status of the TXREGx
register, another bit, TRMT (TXSTAx<1>), shows the
status of the TSR register. TRMT is a read-only bit which
is set when the TSR is empty. No interrupt logic is tied to
this bit, so the user must poll this bit in order to determine
if the TSR register is empty. The TSR is not mapped in
data memory so it is not available to the user.
The Master mode indicates that the processor transmits the master clock on the CKx line. Clock polarity is
selected with the TXCKP bit (BAUDCONx<4>). Setting
TXCKP sets the Idle state on CKx as high, while clearing the bit sets the Idle state as low. This option is
provided to support Microwire devices with this module.

The EUSART transmitter block diagram is shown in
Figure 20-3. The heart of the transmitter is the Transmit
(Serial) Shift Register (TSR). The Shift register obtains
its data from the Read/Write Transmit Buffer register,
TXREGx. The TXREGx register is loaded with data in
software. The TSR register is not loaded until the last
bit has been transmitted from the previous load. As
soon as the last bit is transmitted, the TSR is loaded
with new data from the TXREGx (if available).

EUSART SYNCHRONOUS MASTER
RECEPTION
Once Synchronous mode is selected, reception is
enabled by setting either the Single Receive Enable bit,
SREN (RCSTAx<5>) or the Continuous Receive
Enable bit, CREN (RCSTAx<4>). Data is sampled on
the RXx pin on the falling edge of the clock.
If enable bit, SREN, is set, only a single word is
received. If enable bit, CREN, is set, the reception is
continuous until CREN is cleared. If both bits are set,
then CREN takes precedence.
To set up a Synchronous Master Reception:
1.
2.
Initialize the SPBRGHx:SPBRGx registers for
the appropriate baud rate. Set or clear the
BRG16 bit, as required, to achieve the desired
baud rate.
Enable the synchronous master serial port by
setting bits, SYNC, SPEN and CSRC.
FIGURE 20-13:
3.
4.
5.
6.
Ensure bits, CREN and SREN, are clear.
If interrupts are desired, set enable bit, RCxIE.
If 9-bit reception is desired, set bit, RX9.
If a single reception is required, set bit, SREN.
For continuous reception, set bit, CREN.
7. Interrupt flag bit, RCxIF, will be set when
reception is complete and an interrupt will be
generated if the enable bit, RCxIE, was set.
8. Read the RCSTAx register to get the ninth bit (if
enabled) and determine if any error occurred
during reception.
9. Read the 8-bit received data by reading the
RCREGx register.
10. If any error occurred, clear the error by clearing
bit, CREN.
11. If using interrupts, ensure that the GIE and PEIE
bits in the INTCON register (INTCON<7:6>) are
set.

EUSART Synchronous Slave
Mode
Synchronous Slave mode is entered by clearing bit,
CSRC (TXSTAx<7>). This mode differs from the
Synchronous Master mode in that the shift clock is supplied externally at the CKx pin (instead of being supplied
internally in Master mode). This allows the device to
transfer or receive data while in any low-power mode.

TRANSMISSION
To set up a Synchronous Slave Transmission:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
The operation of the Synchronous Master and Slave
modes is identical, except in the case of Sleep mode.
7.
If two words are written to the TXREGx and then the
SLEEP instruction is executed, the following will occur:
8.
a)
b)
c)
d)
e)
The first word will immediately transfer to the
TSR register and transmit.
The second word will remain in the TXREGx
register.
Flag bit, TXxIF, will not be set.
When the first word has been shifted out of TSR,
the TXREGx register will transfer the second
word to the TSR and flag bit, TXxIF, will now be
set.
If enable bit, TXxIE, is set, the interrupt will wake
the chip from Sleep. If the global interrupt is
enabled, the program will branch to the interrupt
vector.
DS39932D-page 348
Enable the synchronous slave serial port by
setting bits, SYNC and SPEN, and clearing bit,

Clear bits, CREN and SREN.
If interrupts are desired, set enable bit, TXxIE.
If 9-bit transmission is desired, set bit, TX9.
Enable the transmission by setting enable bit,
TXEN.
If 9-bit transmission is selected, the ninth bit
should be loaded in bit, TX9D.
Start transmission by loading data to the
TXREGx register.
If using interrupts, ensure that the GIE and PEIE
bits in the INTCON register (INTCON<7:6>) are

10-BIT ANALOG-TO-DIGITAL
CONVERTER (A/D) MODULE
The Analog-to-Digital (A/D) Converter module has
10 inputs for the 28-pin devices and 13 for the 44-pin
devices. Additionally, two internal channels are
available for sampling the VDDCORE and VBG absolute
reference voltage. This module allows conversion of an
analog input signal to a corresponding 10-bit digital
number.
The module has six registers:
• A/D Control Register 0 (ADCON0)

R/W-0
A/D Control Register 1 (ADCON1)
A/D Port Configuration Register 2 (ANCON0)

The ADCON0 register, in Register 21-1, controls the
operation of the A/D module. The ADCON1 register, in
Register 21-2, configures the A/D clock source,
programmed acquisition time and justification.
The ANCON0 and ANCON1 registers, in Register 21-3

The ANCON0 and ANCON1 registers are used to
configure the operation of the I/O pin associated with
each analog channel. Setting any one of the PCFG bits
configures the corresponding pin to operate as a digital
only I/O. Clearing a bit configures the pin to operate as
an analog input for either the A/D Converter or the
comparator module; all digital peripherals are disabled
and digital inputs read as ‘0’. As a rule, I/O pins that are
multiplexed with analog inputs default to analog
operation on device Resets.
request that the band gap reference circuit should be
enabled. For best accuracy, firmware should allow a
settling time of at least 10 ms prior to performing the first
acquisition on this channel after enabling the band gap
reference.
The reference circuit may already have been turned on
if some other hardware module (such as comparators
or HLVD) has already requested it. In this case, the initial turn-on settling time may have already elapsed and
firmware does not need to wait as long before measuring VBG. Once the acquisition is complete, firmware
may clear the VBGEN bit, which will save a small
amount of power if no other modules are still requesting
the VBG reference.
In order to correctly perform A/D conversions on the VBG
band gap reference (ADCON0<5:2> = 1111), the reference circuit must be powered on first. The VBGEN bit in
the ANCON1 register allows the firmware to manually

Each port pin associated with the A/D Converter can be
configured as an analog input or as a digital I/O. The
ADRESH and ADRESL registers contain the result of
the A/D conversion. When the A/D conversion is complete, the result is loaded into the ADRESH:ADRESL
register pair, the GO/DONE bit (ADCON0<1>) is
cleared and the A/D Interrupt Flag bit, ADIF, is set.
The analog reference voltage is software selectable to either the device’s positive and negative
supply voltage (AV DD and AV SS ), or the voltage
and
level
on
the
RA3/AN3/VREF +/C1INB
RA2/AN2/VREF -/CVREF /C2INB pins.
The A/D Converter has a unique feature of being able
to operate while the device is in Sleep mode. To
operate in Sleep, the A/D conversion clock must be
derived from the A/D’s internal RC oscillator.
A device Reset forces all registers to their Reset state.
This forces the A/D module to be turned off and any
conversion in progress is aborted. The value in the
ADRESH:ADRESL register pair is not modified for a
Power-on Reset (POR). These registers will contain
unknown data after a POR.
The output of the sample and hold is the input into the
Converter, which generates the result via successive
approximation.

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 21.1
“A/D Acquisition Requirements”. After this acquisition time has elapsed, the A/D conversion can be
started. An acquisition time can be programmed to
occur between setting the GO/DONE bit and the actual
start of the conversion.

• Clear ADIF bit
• Set ADIE bit

A/D Acquisition Requirements
For the A/D Converter to meet its specified accuracy,
the charge holding capacitor (CHOLD) must be allowed
to fully charge to the input channel voltage level. The
analog input model is illustrated in Figure 21-2. The
source impedance (RS) and the internal sampling
switch (RSS) impedance directly affect the time
required to charge the capacitor CHOLD. The sampling
switch (RSS) impedance varies over the device voltage
(VDD). The source impedance affects the offset voltage
at the analog input (due to pin leakage current). The
maximum recommended impedance for analog
sources is 2.5 k. After the analog input channel is
selected (changed), the channel must be sampled for
at least the minimum acquisition time before starting a
conversion.

21.2
Selecting and Configuring
Automatic Acquisition Time
The ADCON1 register allows the user to select an
acquisition time that occurs each time the GO/DONE
bit is set.
When the GO/DONE bit is set, sampling is stopped and
a conversion begins. The user is responsible for ensuring the required acquisition time has passed between
selecting the desired input channel and setting the
GO/DONE bit. This occurs when the ACQT<2:0> bits
(ADCON1<5:3>) remain in their Reset state (‘000’) and
is compatible with devices that do not offer
programmable acquisition times.
If desired, the ACQT bits can be set to select a programmable acquisition time for the A/D module. When
the GO/DONE bit is set, the A/D module continues to
sample the input for the selected acquisition time, then
automatically begins a conversion. Since the acquisition time is programmed, there may be no need to wait
for an acquisition time between selecting a channel and
setting the GO/DONE bit.
In either case, when the conversion is completed, the
GO/DONE bit is cleared, the ADIF flag is set and the
A/D begins sampling the currently selected channel
again. If an acquisition time is programmed, there is
nothing to indicate if the acquisition time has ended or
if the conversion has begun.
21.3
Selecting the A/D Conversion
Clock
The A/D conversion time per bit is defined as TAD. The
A/D conversion requires 11 TAD per 10-bit conversion.
The source of the A/D conversion clock is software
selectable.
There are seven possible options for TAD:

•

The RC source has a typical TAD time of
4 s.
For device frequencies above 1 MHz, the
device must be in Sleep mode for the
entire conversion or the A/D accuracy may
be out of specification.
Configuring Analog Port Pins
The ANCON0, ANCON1 and TRISA registers control
the operation of the A/D port pins. The port pins needed
as analog inputs must have their corresponding TRIS
bits set (input). If the TRIS bit is cleared (output), the
digital output level (VOH or VOL) will be converted.
The A/D operation is independent of the state of the
CHS<3:0> bits and the TRIS bits.
Note 1: When reading the PORT register, all pins
configured as analog input channels will
read as cleared (a low level). Pins configured as digital inputs will convert an
analog input. Analog levels on a digitally
configured input will be accurately
converted.
2: Analog levels on any pin defined as a
digital input may cause the digital input
buffer to consume current out of the
device’s specification limits.
For correct A/D conversions, the A/D conversion clock
(TAD) must be as short as possible but greater than the
minimum TAD (see parameter 130 in Table 29-31 for
more information).
Table 21-1 provides the resultant TAD times derived
from the device operating frequencies and the A/D
clock source selected.

A/D Conversions
21.6
Figure 21-3 displays the operation of the A/D Converter
after the GO/DONE bit has been set and the
ACQT<2:0> bits are cleared. A conversion is started
after the following instruction to allow entry into Sleep
mode before the conversion begins.
An A/D conversion can be started by the Special Event
Trigger of the ECCP2 module. This requires that the
CCP2M<3:0> bits (CCP2CON<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 acquisition and conversion,
and the Timer1 (or Timer3) counter will be reset to zero.
Timer1 (or Timer3) is reset to automatically repeat the
A/D acquisition period with minimal software overhead
(moving ADRESH/ADRESL to the desired location).
The appropriate analog input channel must be selected
and the minimum acquisition period is either timed by
the user, or an appropriate TACQ time is selected before
the Special Event Trigger sets the GO/DONE bit (starts
a conversion).
Figure 21-4 displays the operation of the A/D Converter
after the GO/DONE bit has been set, the ACQT<2:0>
bits are set to ‘010’ and a 4 TAD acquisition time has
been selected before the conversion starts.
Clearing the GO/DONE bit during a conversion will
abort the current conversion. The A/D Result register
pair will NOT be updated with the partially completed
A/D
conversion
sample.
This
means
the
ADRESH:ADRESL registers will continue to contain
the value of the last completed conversion (or the last
value written to the ADRESH:ADRESL registers).
If the A/D module is not enabled (ADON is cleared), the
Special Event Trigger will be ignored by the A/D module
but will still reset the Timer1 (or Timer3) counter.
After the A/D conversion is completed or aborted, a
2 TAD wait is required before the next acquisition can be
started. After this wait, acquisition on the selected
channel is automatically started.
Note:
Use of the ECCP2 Trigger
The GO/DONE bit should NOT be set in
the same instruction that turns on the A/D.

A/D Converter Calibration
The A/D Converter in the PIC18F46J11 family of
devices includes a self-calibration feature, which compensates for any offset generated within the module.
The calibration process is automated and is initiated by
setting the ADCAL bit (ADCON1<6>). The next time
the GO/DONE bit is set, the module will perform a
“dummy” conversion (that is, with reading none of the
input channels) and store the resulting value internally
to compensate for the offset. Thus, subsequent offsets
will be compensated.
Example 21-1 provides an example of a calibration
routine.
The calibration process assumes that the device is in a
relatively steady-state operating condition. If A/D
calibration is used, it should be performed after each
device Reset or if there are other major changes in
operating conditions.
21.8
Operation in Power-Managed
Modes
The selection of the automatic acquisition time and A/D
conversion clock is determined in part by the clock
source and frequency while in a power-managed
mode.
EXAMPLE 21-1:
BCF
BSF
BSF
BSF
CALIBRATION
BTFSC
BRA
BCF
If the A/D is expected to operate while the device is in
a power-managed mode, the ACQT<2:0> and
ADCS<2:0> bits in ADCON1 should be updated in
accordance with the power-managed mode clock that
will be used. After the power-managed mode is entered
(either of the power-managed Run modes), an A/D
acquisition or conversion may be started. Once an
acquisition or conversion is started, the device should
continue to be clocked by the same power-managed
mode clock source until the conversion has been completed. If desired, the device may be placed into the
corresponding power-managed Idle mode during the
conversion.
If the power-managed mode clock frequency is less
than 1 MHz, the A/D RC clock source should be
selected.
Operation in the Sleep mode requires the A/D RC clock
to be selected. If bits, ACQT<2:0>, are set to ‘000’ and
a conversion is started, the conversion will be delayed
one instruction cycle to allow execution of the SLEEP
instruction and entry to Sleep mode. The IDLEN and
SCS bits in the OSCCON register must have already
been cleared prior to starting the conversion.

COMPARATOR MODULE
The analog comparator module contains two comparators that can be independently configured in a variety of
ways. The inputs can be selected from the analog inputs
and two internal voltage references. The digital outputs
are available at the pin level and can also be read
through the control register. Multiple output and interrupt
event generation is also available. Figure 22-1 provides
a generic single comparator from the module.
22.1
Registers
The CMxCON registers (Register 22-1) select the input
and output configuration for each comparator, as well
as the settings for interrupt generation.
The CMSTAT register (Register 22-2) provides the output results of the comparators. The bits in this register
are read-only.
Key features of the module are:
•
•
•
•
•
Independent comparator control
Programmable input configuration
Output to both pin and register levels
Programmable output polarity
Independent interrupt generation for each

Comparator Operation
22.3
Comparator Response Time
A single comparator is shown in Figure 22-2, along with
the relationship between the analog input levels and
the digital output. When the analog input at VIN+ is less
than the analog input, VIN-, the output of the comparator is a digital low level. When the analog input at VIN+
is greater than the analog input, VIN-, the output of the
comparator is a digital high level. The shaded areas of
the output of the comparator in Figure 22-2 represent
the uncertainty due to input offsets and response time.
Response time is the minimum time, after selecting a
new reference voltage or input source, before the
comparator output has a valid level. The response time
of the comparator differs from the settling time of the
voltage reference. Therefore, both of these times must
be considered when determining the total response to
a comparator input change. Otherwise, the maximum
delay of the comparators should be used (see
Section 29.0 “Electrical Characteristics”).

Figure 22-3 provides a simplified circuit for an analog
input. Since the analog pins are connected to a digital
output, they have reverse biased diodes to VDD and
VSS. The analog input, therefore, must be between VSS
and VDD. If the input voltage deviates from this range
by more than 0.6V in either direction, one of the diodes
is forward biased and a latch-up condition may occur.
A maximum source impedance of 10 k is
recommended for the analog sources. Any external
component connected to an analog input pin, such as
a capacitor or a Zener diode, should have very little
leakage current.

Comparator Control and
Configuration
Each comparator has up to eight possible combinations of inputs: up to four external analog inputs, and
one of two internal voltage references.
Both comparators allow a selection of the signal from
pin, CxINA, or the voltage from the comparator reference (CVREF) on the non-inverting channel. This is
compared to either CxINB, CTMU or the microcontroller’s fixed internal reference voltage (VIRV, 0.6V
nominal) on the inverting channel.
Table 22-1 provides the comparator inputs and outputs
tied to fixed I/O pins.
Figure 22-4 illustrates the available comparator
configurations and their corresponding bit settings.

22.5.1
The external reference is used when CREF = 0
(CMxCON<2>) and VIN+ is connected to the CxINA
pin. When external voltage references are used, the
comparator module can be configured to have the
reference sources externally. The reference signal
must be between VSS and VDD, and can be applied to
either pin of the comparator.
The comparator module also allows the selection of an
internally generated voltage reference (CVREF) from
the comparator voltage reference module. This module
is described in more detail in Section 22.0 “Comparator Module”. The reference from the comparator
voltage reference module is only available when
CREF = 1. In this mode, the internal voltage reference
is applied to the comparator’s VIN+ pin.

Setting the CON bit of the CMxCON register

(CMxCON<1:0>) direct either one of three analog input
pins, or the Internal Reference Voltage (VIRV), to the
comparator VIN-. Depending on the comparator operating mode, either an external or internal voltage
reference may be used. The analog signal present at
VIN- is compared to the signal at VIN+ and the digital
output of the comparator is adjusted accordingly.

and PCFG bits in the ANCON1 register.
COMPARATOR ENABLE AND
OUTPUT SELECTION
The comparator outputs are read through the CMSTAT
register. The CMSTAT<0> reads the Comparator 1 output and CMSTAT<1> reads the Comparator 2 output.
These bits are read-only.
The comparator outputs may also be directly output to
the RPn I/O pins by setting the COE bit (CMxCON<6>).
When enabled, multiplexers in the output path of the
pins switch to the output of the comparator.
By default, the comparator’s output is at logic high
whenever the voltage on VIN+ is greater than on VIN-.
The polarity of the comparator outputs can be inverted
using the CPOL bit (CMxCON<5>).
The uncertainty of each of the comparators is related to
the input offset voltage and the response time given in
the specifications, as discussed in Section 22.2
“Comparator Operation”.

When EVPOL<1:0> = 11, the comparator interrupt flag
is set whenever there is a change in the output value of
either comparator. Software will need to maintain
information about the status of the output bits, as read
from CMSTAT<1:0>, to determine the actual change
that occurred. The CMxIF bits (PIR2<6:5>) are the
Comparator Interrupt Flags. The CMxIF bits must be
reset by clearing them. Since it is also possible to write
a ‘1’ to this register, a simulated interrupt may be
initiated.
Comparator Interrupts
The comparator interrupt flag is set whenever any of
the following occurs:
- Low-to-high transition of the comparator
output
- High-to-low transition of the comparator
output
- Any change in the comparator output
The comparator interrupt selection is done by the
EVPOL<1:0> bits in the CMxCON register
(CMxCON<4:3>).
Table 22-2 provides the interrupt generation
corresponding to comparator input voltages and
EVPOL bit settings.
In order to provide maximum flexibility, the output of the
comparator may be inverted using the CPOL bit in the
CMxCON register (CMxCON<5>). This is functionally
identical to reversing the inverting and non-inverting
inputs of the comparator for a particular mode.
Both the CMxIE bits (PIE2<6:5>) and the PEIE bit
(INTCON<6>) must be set to enable the interrupt. In
addition, the GIE bit (INTCON<7>) must also be set.
If any of these bits are clear, the interrupt is not
enabled, though the CMxIF bits will still be set if an
interrupt condition occurs.
An interrupt is generated on the low-to-high or high-tolow transition of the comparator output. This mode of
interrupt generation is dependent on EVPOL<1:0> in
the CMxCON register. When EVPOL<1:0> = 01 or 10,
the interrupt is generated on a low-to-high or high-tolow transition of the comparator output. Once the
interrupt is generated, it is required to clear the interrupt
flag by software.

Comparator Operation During
Sleep
22.8
A device Reset forces the CMxCON registers to their
Reset state. This forces both comparators and the
voltage reference to the OFF state.
When a comparator is active and the device is placed
in Sleep mode, the comparator remains active and the
interrupt is functional if enabled. This interrupt will
wake-up the device from Sleep mode when enabled.
Each operational comparator will consume additional
current. To minimize power consumption while in Sleep
mode, turn off the comparators (CON = 0) before
entering Sleep. If the device wakes up from Sleep, the
contents of the CMxCON register are not affected.

COMPARATOR VOLTAGE
REFERENCE MODULE
The comparator voltage reference is a 16-tap resistor
ladder network that provides a selectable reference
voltage. Although its primary purpose is to provide a
reference for the analog comparators, it may also be
used independently of them.
FIGURE 23-1:
Figure 23-1 provides a block diagram of the module.
The resistor ladder is segmented to provide two ranges
of CVREF values and has a power-down function to
conserve power when the reference is not being used.
The module’s supply reference can be provided from
either device VDD/VSS or an external voltage reference.

23.1
Configuring the Comparator
Voltage Reference
The comparator voltage reference module is controlled
through the CVRCON register (Register 23-1). The
comparator voltage reference provides two ranges of
output voltage, each with 16 distinct levels. The range
to be used is selected by the CVRR bit (CVRCON<5>).
The primary difference between the ranges is the size
of the steps selected by the CVREF Selection bits
(CVR<3:0>), with one range offering finer resolution.
The equations used to calculate the output of the
comparator voltage reference are as follows:
EQUATION 23-1:
The comparator reference supply voltage can come
from either VDD and VSS, or the external VREF+ and
VREF- that are multiplexed with RA2 and RA3. The
voltage source is selected by the CVRSS bit
(CVRCON<4>).
The settling time of the comparator voltage reference
must be considered when changing the CVREF
output (see Table 29-4 in Section 29.0 “Electrical
Characteristics”).

23.2
Voltage Reference Accuracy/Error
The full range of voltage reference cannot be realized
due to the construction of the module. The transistors
on the top and bottom of the resistor ladder network
(see Figure 23-1) keep CVREF from approaching the
reference source rails. The voltage reference is derived
from the reference source; therefore, the CVREF output
changes with fluctuations in that source. The tested
absolute accuracy of the voltage reference can be
found in Section 29.0 “Electrical Characteristics”.
23.3
Connection Considerations
The voltage reference module operates independently
of the comparator module. The output of the reference
generator may be connected to the RA2 pin if the
CVROE bit is set. Enabling the voltage reference output onto RA2 when it is configured as a digital input will
increase current consumption. Connecting RA2 as a
digital output with CVRSS enabled will also increase
current consumption.
FIGURE 23-2:
The RA2 pin can be used as a simple D/A output with
limited drive capability. Due to the limited current drive
capability, a buffer must be used on the voltage
reference output for external connections to VREF. See
Figure 23-2 for an example buffering technique.
23.4
Operation During Sleep
When the device wakes up from Sleep through an
interrupt or a Watchdog Timer time-out, the contents of
the CVRCON register are not affected. To minimize
current consumption in Sleep mode, the voltage
reference should be disabled.
23.5
Effects of a Reset
A device Reset disables the voltage reference by
clearing bit, CVREN (CVRCON<7>). This Reset also
disconnects the reference from the RA2 pin by clearing
bit, CVROE (CVRCON<6>) and selects the high-voltage
range by clearing bit, CVRR (CVRCON<5>). The CVR
value select bits are also cleared.

HIGH/LOW VOLTAGE DETECT
(HLVD)
PIC18F46J11 family devices (including PIC18LF46J11
family devices) have a High/Low Voltage Detect
(HLVD) module for monitoring the absolute voltage on
VDD or the HLVDIN pin. This is a programmable circuit
that allows the user to specify both a device voltage trip
point and the direction of change from that point.
The High/Low-Voltage Detect Control register
(Register 24-1) completely controls the operation of the
HLVD module. This allows the circuitry to be “turned
off” by the user under software control, which
minimizes the current consumption for the device.
Figure 24-1 provides a block diagram for the HLVD
module.
If the module detects an excursion past the trip point in
that direction, an interrupt flag is set. If the interrupt is
enabled, the program execution will branch to the interrupt vector address and the software can then respond
to the interrupt.

The module is enabled by setting the HLVDEN bit.
Each time the module is enabled, the circuitry requires
some time to stabilize. The IRVST bit is a read-only bit
that indicates when the circuit is stable. The module
can generate an interrupt only after the circuit is stable
and IRVST is set.
 2011 Microchip Technology Inc.
The VDIRMAG bit determines the overall operation of
the module. When VDIRMAG is cleared, the module
monitors for drops in VDD below a predetermined set
point. When the bit is set, the module monitors for rises
in VDD above the set point.
DS39932D-page 373
PIC18F46J11 FAMILY
24.1
The trip point voltage is software programmable to any
one of 8 values. The trip point is selected by
programming the HLVDL<3:0> bits (HLVDCON<3:0>).
Operation
When the HLVD module is enabled, a comparator uses
an internally generated reference voltage as the set
point. The set point is compared with the trip point,
where each node in the resistor divider represents a
trip point voltage. The “trip point” voltage is the voltage
level at which the device detects a high or low-voltage
event, depending on the configuration of the module.
Additionally, the HLVD module allows the user to
supply the trip voltage to the module from an external
source. This mode is enabled when bits, HLVDL<3:0>,
are set to ‘1111’. In this state, the comparator input is
multiplexed from the external input pin, HLVDIN. This
gives users flexibility because it allows them to
configure the HLVD interrupt to occur at any voltage in
the valid operating range.
When the supply voltage is equal to the trip point, the
voltage tapped off of the resistor array is equal to the
internal reference voltage generated by the voltage
reference module. The comparator then generates an
interrupt signal by setting the LVDIF bit.

To set up the HLVD module:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
Disable the module by clearing the HLVDEN bit
(HLVDCON<4>).
Write the value to the HLVDL<3:0> bits that
selects the desired HLVD trip point.
Set the VDIRMAG bit to detect one of the
following:
• High voltage (VDIRMAG = 1)
• Low voltage (VDIRMAG = 0)
Enable the HLVD module by setting the
HLVDEN bit.
Clear the HLVD Interrupt Flag, LVDIF
(PIR2<2>), which may have been set from a
previous interrupt.
If interrupts are desired, enable the HLVD
interrupt by setting the HLVDIE and GIE/GIEH
bits (PIE2<2> and INTCON<7>).
24.4
HLVD Start-up Time
The internal reference voltage of the HLVD module,
specified in electrical specification parameter D420
(see Table 29-8 in Section 29.0 “Electrical Characteristics”), may be used by other internal circuitry,
such as the Programmable Brown-out Reset (BOR).
If the HLVD or other circuits using the voltage reference
are disabled to lower the device’s current consumption,
the reference voltage circuit will require time to become
stable before a low or high-voltage condition can be
reliably detected. This start-up time, TIRVST, is an
interval that is independent of device clock speed. It is
specified in electrical specification parameter 36
(Table 29-15).
The HLVD interrupt flag is not enabled until TIRVST has
expired and a stable reference voltage is reached. For
this reason, brief excursions beyond the set point may
not be detected during this interval. Refer to Figure 24-2
or Figure 24-3.
An interrupt will not be generated until the
IRVST bit is set.
24.3
Current Consumption
When the module is enabled, the HLVD comparator
and voltage divider are enabled and will consume static
current. The total current consumption, when enabled,
is specified in electrical specification parameter D022B
(IHLVD) (Section 29.2 “DC Characteristics: PowerDown and Supply Current PIC18F46J11 Family
(Industrial)”).
Depending on the application, the HLVD module does
not need to operate constantly. To decrease the current
requirements, the HLVD circuitry may only need to be
enabled for short periods where the voltage is checked.
After doing the check, the HLVD module may be
disabled.

For general battery applications, Figure 24-4 provides a
possible voltage curve.

Voltage
Over time, the device voltage decreases. When the
device voltage reaches voltage, VA, the HLVD logic
generates an interrupt at time, TA. The interrupt could
cause the execution of an ISR, which would allow the
application to perform “housekeeping tasks” and
perform a controlled shutdown before the device
voltage exits the valid operating range at TB.

The HLVD, thus, would give the application a time

CHARGE TIME
MEASUREMENT UNIT (CTMU)
The Charge Time Measurement Unit (CTMU) is a
flexible analog module that provides accurate differential time measurement between pulse sources, as well
as asynchronous pulse generation. By working with
other on-chip analog modules, the CTMU can be used
to precisely measure time, measure capacitance,
measure relative changes in capacitance or generate
output pulses with a specific time delay. The CTMU is
ideal for interfacing with capacitive-based sensors.
The CTMU works in conjunction with the A/D Converter
to provide up to 13 channels for time or charge
measurement, depending on the specific device and
the number of A/D channels available. When configured for time delay, the CTMU is connected to one of
the analog comparators. The level-sensitive input edge
sources can be selected from four sources: two
external inputs or ECCP1/ECCP2 Special Event
Triggers.
The module includes the following key features:
• Up to 13 channels available for capacitive or time
measurement input
• On-chip precision current source
• Four-edge input trigger sources
• Polarity control for each edge source
• Control of edge sequence

25.1
CTMU Operation
The CTMU works by using a fixed current source to
charge a circuit. The type of circuit depends on the type
of measurement being made. In the case of charge
measurement, the current is fixed, and the amount of
time the current is applied to the circuit is fixed. The
amount of voltage read by the A/D is then a measurement of the capacitance of the circuit. In the case of
time measurement, the current, as well as the capacitance of the circuit, is fixed. In this case, the voltage
read by the A/D is then representative of the amount of
time elapsed from the time the current source starts
and stops charging the circuit.
If the CTMU is being used as a time delay, both
capacitance and current source are fixed, as well as the
voltage supplied to the comparator circuit. The delay of
a signal is determined by the amount of time it takes the
voltage to charge to the comparator threshold voltage.
25.1.1
THEORY OF OPERATION
The operation of the CTMU is based on the equation
for charge:
dV
I = C  ------dT
More simply, the amount of charge measured in
coulombs in a circuit is defined as current in amperes
(I) multiplied by the amount of time in seconds that the
current flows (t). Charge is also defined as the
capacitance in farads (C) multiplied by the voltage of
the circuit (V). It follows that:
I  t = C  V.
The CTMU module provides a constant, known current
source. The A/D Converter is used to measure (V) in
the equation, leaving two unknowns: capacitance (C)
and time (t). The above equation can be used to calculate capacitance or time, by either the relationship
using the known fixed capacitance of the circuit:
t = C  V  I
or by:
C = I  t  V
using a fixed time that the current source is applied to
the circuit.
25.1.2
CURRENT SOURCE
At the heart of the CTMU is a precision current source,
designed to provide a constant reference for measurements. The level of current is user-selectable across
three ranges or a total of two orders of magnitude, with
the ability to trim the output in ±2% increments
(nominal). The current range is selected by the
IRNG<1:0> bits (CTMUICON<1:0>), with a value of
‘01’ representing the lowest range.
DS39932D-page 380
Current trim is provided by the ITRIM<5:0> bits
(CTMUICON<7:2>). These six bits allow trimming of
the current source in steps of approximately 2% per
step. Note that half of the range adjusts the current
source positively and the other half reduces the current
source. A value of ‘000000’ is the neutral position (no
change). A value of ‘100001’ is the maximum negative
adjustment (approximately -62%) and ‘011111’ is the
maximum positive adjustment (approximately +62%).
25.1.3
EDGE SELECTION AND CONTROL
CTMU measurements are controlled by edge events
occurring on the module’s two input channels. Each
channel, referred to as Edge 1 and Edge 2, can be configured to receive input pulses from one of the edge
input pins (CTED1 and CTED2) or ECCPx Special
Event Triggers. The input channels are level-sensitive,
responding to the instantaneous level on the channel
rather than a transition between levels. The inputs are
selected using the EDG1SEL and EDG2SEL bit pairs
(CTMUCONL<3:2 and 6:5>).
In addition to source, each channel can be configured for
event polarity using the EDGE2POL and EDGE1POL
bits (CTMUCONL<7,4>). The input channels can also
be filtered for an edge event sequence (Edge 1 occurring before Edge 2) by setting the EDGSEQEN bit
(CTMUCONH<2>).
25.1.4
EDGE STATUS
The CTMUCONL register also contains two status bits:
EDG2STAT and EDG1STAT (CTMUCONL<1:0>).
Their primary function is to show if an edge response
has occurred on the corresponding channel. The
CTMU automatically sets a particular bit when an edge
response is detected on its channel. The level-sensitive
nature of the input channels also means that the status
bits become set immediately if the channel’s configuration is changed and is the same as the channel’s
current state.
The module uses the edge status bits to control the current source output to external analog modules (such as
the A/D Converter). Current is only supplied to external
modules when only one (but not both) of the status bits
is set, and shuts current off when both bits are either
set or cleared. This allows the CTMU to measure current only during the interval between edges. After both
status bits are set, it is necessary to clear them before
another measurement is taken. Both bits should be
cleared simultaneously, if possible, to avoid re-enabling
the CTMU current source.
In addition to being set by the CTMU hardware, the
edge status bits can also be set by software. This is
also the user’s application to manually enable or
disable the current source. Setting either one (but not
both) of the bits enables the current source. Setting or
clearing both bits at once disables the source.
 2011 Microchip Technology Inc.
PIC18F46J11 FAMILY
25.1.5
INTERRUPTS
The CTMU sets its interrupt flag (PIR3<2>) whenever
the current source is enabled, then disabled. An interrupt is generated only if the corresponding interrupt
enable bit (PIE3<2>) is also set. If edge sequencing is
not enabled (i.e., Edge 1 must occur before Edge 2), it
is necessary to monitor the edge status bits and
determine which edge occurred last and caused the
interrupt.
25.2
CTMU Module Initialization
The following sequence is a general guideline used to
initialize the CTMU module:
1.
Select the current source range using the IRNG
bits (CTMUICON<1:0>).
2. Adjust the current source trim using the ITRIM
bits (CTMUICON<7:2>).
3. Configure the edge input sources for Edge 1 and
Edge 2 by setting the EDG1SEL and EDG2SEL
bits (CTMUCONL<3:2 and 6:5>).
4. Configure the input polarities for the edge inputs
using the EDG1POL and EDG2POL bits
(CTMUCONL<4,7>). The default configuration
is for negative edge polarity (high-to-low
transitions).
5. Enable edge sequencing using the EDGSEQEN
bit (CTMUCONH<2>). By default, edge
sequencing is disabled.
6. Select the operating mode (Measurement or
Time
Delay)
with
the
TGEN
bit
(CTMUCONH<4>). The default mode is Time/
Capacitance Measurement.
7. Discharge the connected circuit by setting the
IDISSEN bit (CTMUCONH<1>); after waiting a
sufficient time for the circuit to discharge, clear
IDISSEN.
8. Disable the module by clearing the CTMUEN bit
(CTMUCONH<7>).
9. Enable the module by setting the CTMUEN bit.
10. Clear the Edge Status bits: EDG2STAT and
EDG1STAT (CTMUCONL<1:0>). Both bits
should be cleared simultaneously, if possible, to
avoid re-enabling the CTMU current source.
11. Enable both edge inputs by setting the EDGEN
bit (CTMUCONH<3>).
Depending on the type of measurement or pulse
generation being performed, one or more additional
modules may also need to be initialized and configured
with the CTMU module:
• Edge Source Generation: In addition to the
external edge input pins, both Timer1 and the
Output Compare/PWM1 module can be used as
edge sources for the CTMU.
• Capacitance or Time Measurement: The CTMU
module uses the A/D Converter to measure the
voltage across a capacitor that is connected to one
of the analog input channels.
• Pulse Generation: When generating system clock
independent output pulses, the CTMU module
uses Comparator 2 and the associated
comparator voltage reference.
25.3
The CTMU requires calibration for precise measurements of capacitance and time, as well as for accurate
time delay. If the application only requires measurement
of a relative change in capacitance or time, calibration is
usually not necessary. An example of this type of application would include a capacitive touch switch, in which
the touch circuit has a baseline capacitance, and the
added capacitance of the human body changes the
overall capacitance of a circuit.
If actual capacitance or time measurement is required,
two hardware calibrations must take place: the current
source needs calibration to set it to a precise current,
and the circuit being measured needs calibration to
measure and/or nullify all other capacitance other than
that to be measured.
25.3.1
CURRENT SOURCE CALIBRATION
The current source on board the CTMU module has a
range of ±62% nominal for each of three current
ranges. Therefore, for precise measurements, it is
possible to measure and adjust this current source by
placing a high precision resistor, RCAL, onto an unused
analog channel. An example circuit is shown in
Figure 25-2. The current source measurement is
performed using the following steps:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
 2011 Microchip Technology Inc.
Calibrating the CTMU Module
Initialize the A/D Converter.
Initialize the CTMU.
Enable the current source by setting EDG1STAT
(CTMUCONL<0>).
Issue a time delay for voltage across RCAL to
stabilize and the ADC sample/hold capacitor to
charge.
Perform A/D conversion.
Calculate the present source current using
I = V/ RCAL, where RCAL is a high precision
resistance and V is measured by performing an
A/D conversion.
DS39932D-page 381
PIC18F46J11 FAMILY
The CTMU current source may be trimmed with the
trim bits in CTMUICON using an iterative process to get
an exact desired current. Alternatively, the nominal
value without adjustment may be used; it may be
stored by the software for use in all subsequent
capacitive or time measurements.
To calculate the optimal value for RCAL, the nominal current must be chosen. For example, if the A/D Converter
reference voltage is 3.3V, use 70% of full scale, or
2.31V as the desired approximate voltage to be read by
the A/D Converter. If the range of the CTMU current
source is selected to be 0.55 A, the resistor value
needed is calculated as RCAL = 2.31V/0.55 A, for a
value of 4.2 MΩ. Similarly, if the current source is chosen to be 5.5 A, RCAL would be 420,000Ω, and
42,000Ω if the current source is set to 55 A.
FIGURE 25-2:
A value of 70% of full-scale voltage is chosen to make
sure that the A/D Converter is in a range that is well
above the noise floor. Keep in mind that if an exact current is chosen that is to incorporate the trimming bits
from CTMUICON, the resistor value of RCAL may need
to be adjusted accordingly. RCAL may also be adjusted
to allow for available resistor values. RCAL should be of
the highest precision available, keeping in mind the
amount of precision needed for the circuit that the
CTMU will be used to measure. A recommended
minimum would be 0.1% tolerance.
The following examples show one typical method for
performing a CTMU current calibration. Example 25-1
demonstrates how to initialize the A/D Converter and
the CTMU; this routine is typical for applications using
both modules. Example 25-2 demonstrates one
method for the actual calibration routine.

25.3.2
CAPACITANCE CALIBRATION
There is a small amount of capacitance from the internal A/D Converter sample capacitor as well as stray
capacitance from the circuit board traces and pads that
affect the precision of capacitance measurements. A
measurement of the stray capacitance can be taken by
making sure the desired capacitance to be measured
has been removed. The measurement is then
performed using the following steps:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
Initialize the A/D Converter and the CTMU.
Set EDG1STAT (= 1).
Wait for a fixed delay of time t.
Clear EDG1STAT.
Perform an A/D conversion.
Calculate the stray and A/D sample capacitances:
An iterative process may need to be used to adjust the
time, t, that the circuit is charged to obtain a reasonable
voltage reading from the A/D Converter. The value of t
may be determined by setting COFFSET to a theoretical
value, then solving for t. For example, if CSTRAY is
theoretically calculated to be 11 pF, and V is expected
to be 70% of VDD, or 2.31V, then t would be:
(4 pF + 11 pF) • 2.31V/0.55 A
or 63 s.
See Example 25-3 for a typical routine for CTMU
capacitance calibration.
C OFFSET = C STRAY + CAD =  I  t   V
where I is known from the current source measurement
step, t is a fixed delay and V is measured by performing
an A/D conversion.
This measured value is then stored and used for
calculations of time measurement or subtracted for
capacitance measurement. For calibration, it is
expected that the capacitance of CSTRAY + CAD is
approximately known. CAD is approximately 4 pF.

25.4
Measuring Capacitance with the
CTMU
There are two separate methods of measuring capacitance with the CTMU. The first is the absolute method,
in which the actual capacitance value is desired. The
second is the relative method, in which the actual
capacitance is not needed, rather an indication of a
change in capacitance is required.
25.4.1
ABSOLUTE CAPACITANCE
MEASUREMENT
For absolute capacitance measurements, both the
current and capacitance calibration steps found in
Section 25.3 “Calibrating the CTMU Module”
should be followed. Capacitance measurements are
then performed using the following steps:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
Initialize the A/D Converter.
Initialize the CTMU.
Set EDG1STAT.
Wait for a fixed delay, T.
Clear EDG1STAT.
Perform an A/D conversion.
Calculate the total capacitance, CTOTAL = (I * T)/V,
where I is known from the current source
measurement step (see Section 25.3.1 “Current
Source Calibration”), T is a fixed delay and V is
measured by performing an A/D conversion.
Subtract the stray and A/D capacitance
(COFFSET from Section 25.3.2 “Capacitance
Calibration”) from CTOTAL to determine the
measured capacitance.
 2011 Microchip Technology Inc.
25.4.2
RELATIVE CHARGE
MEASUREMENT
An application may not require precise capacitance
measurements. For example, when detecting a valid
press of a capacitance-based switch, detecting a relative change of capacitance is of interest. In this type of
application, when the switch is open (or not touched),
the total capacitance is the capacitance of the combination of the board traces, the A/D Converter, etc. A larger
voltage will be measured by the A/D Converter. When
the switch is closed (or is touched), the total
capacitance is larger due to the addition of the
capacitance of the human body to the above listed
capacitances, and a smaller voltage will be measured
by the A/D Converter.
Detecting capacitance changes is easily accomplished
with the CTMU using these steps:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Initialize the A/D Converter and the CTMU.
Set EDG1STAT.
Wait for a fixed delay.
Clear EDG1STAT.
Perform an A/D conversion.
The voltage measured by performing the A/D conversion is an indication of the relative capacitance. Note
that in this case, no calibration of the current source or
circuit capacitance measurement is needed. See
Example 25-4 for a sample software routine for a
capacitive touch switch.

V is measured by performing the A/D conversion.
FIGURE 25-3:
It is assumed that the time measured is small enough
that the capacitance, CAD + CEXT, provides a valid voltage to the A/D Converter. For the smallest time measurement, always set the A/D Channel Select register
(AD1CHS) to an unused A/D channel; the corresponding pin for which is not connected to any circuit board
trace. This minimizes added stray capacitance, keeping the total circuit capacitance close to that of the A/D
Converter itself (4-5 pF). To measure longer time
intervals, an external capacitor may be connected to an
A/D channel and this channel selected when making a
time measurement.

An example use of this feature is for interfacing with
variable capacitive-based sensors, such as a humidity
sensor. As the humidity varies, the pulse width output
on CTPLS will vary. The CTPLS output pin can be connected to an input capture pin and the varying pulse
width is measured to determine the humidity in the
application.
Creating a Delay with the CTMU
Module
A unique feature on board the CTMU module is its
ability to generate system clock independent output
pulses based on an external capacitor value. This is
accomplished using the internal comparator voltage
reference module, Comparator 2 input pin and an
external capacitor. The pulse is output onto the CTPLS
pin. To enable this mode, set the TGEN bit.
Follow these steps to use this feature:

See Figure 25-4 for an example circuit. CPULSE is
chosen by the user to determine the output pulse width
on CTPLS. The pulse width is calculated by
T = (CPULSE /I)*V, where I is known from the current
source measurement step (Section 25.3.1 “Current
Source Calibration”) and V is the internal reference
voltage (CVREF).

Operation During Sleep/Idle
Modes
SLEEP MODE AND DEEP SLEEP
MODES
When the device enters any Sleep mode, the CTMU
module current source is always disabled. If the CTMU
is performing an operation that depends on the current
source when Sleep mode is invoked, the operation may
not terminate correctly. Capacitance and time
measurements may return erroneous values.
25.7.2
IDLE MODE
The behavior of the CTMU in Idle mode is determined
by the CTMUSIDL bit (CTMUCONH<5>). If CTMUSIDL
is cleared, the module will continue to operate in Idle
mode. If CTMUSIDL is set, the module’s current source
is disabled when the device enters Idle mode. If the
DS39932D-page 390
module is performing an operation when Idle mode is
invoked, in this case, the results will be similar to those
with Sleep mode.
25.8
Effects of a Reset on CTMU
Upon Reset, all registers of the CTMU are cleared. This
leaves the CTMU module disabled, its current source is
turned off and all configuration options return to their
default settings. The module needs to be re-initialized
following any Reset.
If the CTMU is in the process of taking a measurement at
the time of Reset, the measurement will be lost. A partial
charge may exist on the circuit that was being measured,
and should be properly discharged before the CTMU
makes subsequent attempts to make a measurement.
The circuit is discharged by setting and then clearing the
IDISSEN bit (CTMUCONH<1>) while the A/D Converter
is connected to the appropriate channel.

26.0
SPECIAL FEATURES OF THE
CPU
PIC18F46J11 family devices include several features
intended to maximize reliability and minimize cost
through elimination of external components. These are:
• Oscillator Selection
• Resets:
- Power-on Reset (POR)
- Power-up Timer (PWRT)
- Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST)
- Brown-out Reset (BOR)
• Interrupts
• Watchdog Timer (WDT)
• Fail-Safe Clock Monitor (FSCM)
• Two-Speed Start-up
• Code Protection
• In-Circuit Serial Programming (ICSP)
26.1.1
CONSIDERATIONS FOR
CONFIGURING THE PIC18F46J11
FAMILY DEVICES
Unlike some previous PIC18 microcontrollers, devices
of the PIC18F46J11 family do not use persistent memory registers to store configuration information. The
Configuration
registers,
CONFIG1L
through
CONFIG4H, are implemented as volatile memory.
Immediately after power-up, or after a device Reset,
the microcontroller hardware automatically loads the
CONFIG1L through CONFIG4L registers with configuration data stored in nonvolatile Flash program
memory. The last four words of Flash program memory,
known as the Flash Configuration Words (FCW), are
used to store the configuration data.
Table 26-1 provides the Flash program memory, which
will be loaded into the corresponding Configuration
register.
The oscillator can be configured for the application
depending on frequency, power, accuracy and cost. All
of the options are discussed in detail in Section 3.0
“Oscillator Configurations”.
When creating applications for these devices, users
should always specifically allocate the location of the
FCW for configuration data. This is to make certain that
program code is not stored in this address when the
code is compiled.
A complete discussion of device Resets and interrupts
is available in previous sections of this data sheet. In
addition to their Power-up and Oscillator Start-up
Timers provided for Resets, the PIC18F46J11 family of
devices have a configurable Watchdog Timer (WDT),
which is controlled in software.
The four Most Significant bits (MSb) of the FCW corresponding to CONFIG1H, CONFIG2H, CONFIG3H and
CONFIG4H should always be programmed to ‘1111’.
This makes these FCWs appear to be NOP instructions
in the remote event that their locations are ever
executed by accident.
The inclusion of an internal RC oscillator also provides
the additional benefits of a Fail-Safe Clock Monitor
(FSCM) and Two-Speed Start-up. FSCM provides for
background monitoring of the peripheral clock and
automatic switchover in the event of its failure.
Two-Speed Start-up enables code to be executed
almost immediately on start-up, while the primary clock
source completes its start-up delays.
All of these features are enabled and configured by
setting the appropriate Configuration register bits.
26.1
To prevent inadvertent configuration changes during
code execution, the Configuration registers,
CONFIG1L through CONFIG4L, are loaded only once
per power-up or Reset cycle. User’s firmware can still
change the configuration by using self-reprogramming
to modify the contents of the FCW.
Modifying the FCW will not change the active contents
being used in the CONFIG1L through CONFIG4H
registers until after the device is reset.
Configuration Bits
The Configuration bits can be programmed to select
various device configurations. The configuration data is
stored in the last four words of Flash program memory;
Figure 6-1 depicts this. The configuration data gets
loaded into the volatile Configuration registers,
CONFIG1L through CONFIG4H, which are readable
and mapped to program memory starting at location
300000h.
Table 26-2 provides a complete list. A detailed explanation of the various bit functions is provided in
Register 26-1 through Register 26-6.

Values reflect the unprogrammed state as received from the factory and following Power-on Resets. In all other Reset states, the
configuration bytes maintain their previously programmed states.
The value of these bits in program memory should always be programmed to ‘1’. This ensures that the location is executed as a NOP if it

Watchdog Timer (WDT)
PIC18F46J11 family devices have both a conventional
WDT circuit and a dedicated, Deep Sleep capable
Watchdog Timer. When enabled, the conventional
WDT operates in normal Run, Idle and Sleep modes.
This data sheet section describes the conventional
WDT circuit.
The dedicated, Deep Sleep capable WDT can only be
enabled in Deep Sleep mode. This timer is described in
Section 4.6.4 “Deep Sleep Watchdog Timer
(DSWDT)”.
The conventional WDT is driven by the INTRC oscillator. When the WDT is enabled, the clock source is also
enabled. The nominal WDT period is 4 ms and has the
same stability as the INTRC oscillator.
The 4 ms period of the WDT is multiplied by a 16-bit
postscaler. Any output of the WDT postscaler is
selected by a multiplexer, controlled by the WDTPS bits
in Configuration Register 2H. Available periods range
from about 4 ms to 135 seconds (2.25 minutes
depending on voltage, temperature and WDT
postscaler). The WDT and postscaler are cleared
FIGURE 26-1:
whenever a SLEEP or CLRWDT instruction is executed,
or a clock failure (primary or Timer1 oscillator) has

Note 1: The CLRWDT and SLEEP instructions
clear the WDT and postscaler counts
when executed.
2: When a CLRWDT instruction is executed,
the postscaler count will be cleared.

CONTROL REGISTER
The WDTCON register (Register 26-11) is a readable

the WDTEN Configuration bit and enable the WDT only

LVDSTAT is a read-only status bit that is continuously
updated and provides information about the current
level of VDDCORE. This bit is only valid when the on-chip
voltage regulator is enabled.

26.3
On-Chip Voltage Regulator
Note 1: The on-chip voltage regulator is only
available in parts designated with an “F”,
such as PIC18F25J11. The on-chip
regulator is disabled on devices with “LF”
in their part number.
2: The VDDCORE/VCAP pin must never be
left floating. On “F” devices, it must be
connected to a capacitor, of size CEFC, to
ground. On “LF” devices, VDDCORE/VCAP
must be connected to a power supply
source between 2.0V and 2.7V.
The digital core logic of the PIC18F46J11 family
devices is designed on an advanced manufacturing
process, which requires 2.0V to 2.7V. The digital core
logic obtains power from the VDDCORE/VCAP power
supply pin.
However, in many applications it may be inconvenient
to run the I/O pins at the same core logic voltage, as it
would restrict the ability of the device to interface with
other, higher voltage devices, such as those run at a
nominal 3.3V. Therefore, all PIC18F46J11 family
devices implement a dual power supply rail topology.
The core logic obtains power from the VDDCORE/VCAP
pin, while the general purpose I/O pins obtain power
from the VDD pin of the microcontroller, which may be
supplied with a voltage between 2.15V to 3.6V (“F”
devices) or 2.0V to 3.6V (“LF” devices).
This dual supply topology allows the microcontroller to
interface with standard 3.3V logic devices, while
running the core logic at a lower voltage of nominally
2.5V.
In order to make the microcontroller more convenient to
use, an integrated 2.5V low dropout, low quiescent
current linear regulator has been integrated on the die
inside PIC18F46J11 family devices. This regulator is
designed specifically to supply the core logic of the
device. It allows PIC18F46J11 family devices to
effectively run from a single power supply rail, without
the need for external regulators.
The on-chip voltage regulator is always enabled on “F”
devices. The VDDCORE/VCAP pin serves simultaneously
as the regulator output pin and the core logic supply
power input pin. A capacitor should be connected to the
VDDCORE/VCAP pin to ground and is necessary for regulator stability. For example connections for PIC18F and
PIC18LF devices, see Figure 26-2.
 2011 Microchip Technology Inc.
On “LF” devices, the on-chip regulator is always
disabled. This allows the device to save a small amount
of quiescent current consumption, which may be
advantageous in some types of applications, such as
those which will entirely be running at a nominal 2.5V.
On PIC18LF46J11 family devices, the VDDCORE/VCAP
pin still serves as the core logic power supply input pin,
and therefore, must be connected to a 2.0V to 2.7V
supply rail at the application circuit board level. On
these devices, the I/O pins may still optionally be supplied with a voltage between 2.0V to 3.6V, provided that
VDD is always greater than, or equal to,
VDDCORE/VCAP. For example connections for PIC18F
and PIC18LF devices, see Figure 26-2.
Note:
In parts designated with an “LF”, such as
PIC18LF46J11, VDDCORE must never
exceed VDD.
The specifications for core voltage and capacitance are
listed in Section 29.3 “DC Characteristics:
PIC18F46J11 Family (Industrial)”.
26.3.1
VOLTAGE REGULATOR TRACKING
MODE AND LOW-VOLTAGE
DETECTION
When it is enabled, the on-chip regulator provides a constant voltage of 2.5V nominal to the digital core logic.
The regulator can provide this level from a VDD of about
2.5V, all the way up to the device’s VDDMAX. It does not
have the capability to boost VDD levels below 2.5V.
When the VDD supply input voltage drops too low to
regulate to 2.5V, the regulator enters Tracking mode. In
Tracking mode, the regulator output follows VDD, with a
typical voltage drop of 100 mV or less.
The on-chip regulator includes a simple, Low-Voltage
Detect (LVD) circuit. This circuit is separate and independent of the High/Low-Voltage Detect (HLVD) module
described in Section 24.0 “High/Low Voltage Detect
(HLVD)”. The on-chip regulator LVD circuit continuously
monitors the VDDCORE voltage level and updates the
LVDSTAT bit in the WDTCON register. The LVD detect
threshold is set slightly below the normal regulation set
point of the on-chip regulator.
Application firmware may optionally poll the LVDSTAT
bit to determine when it is safe to run at the maximum
rated frequency, so as not to inadvertently violate the
voltage versus frequency requirements provided by
Figure 29-1.
The VDDCORE monitoring LVD circuit is only active
when the on-chip regulator is enabled. On “LF”
devices, the Analog-to-Digital Converter and the HLVD
module can still be used to provide firmware with VDD
and VDDCORE voltage level information.

ON-CHIP REGULATOR AND BOR
When the on-chip regulator is enabled, PIC18F46J11
family devices also have a simple brown-out capability.
If the voltage supplied to the regulator is inadequate to
maintain a minimum output level; the regulator Reset
circuitry will generate a Brown-out Reset (BOR). This
event is captured by the BOR flag bit (RCON<0>).
The operation of the BOR is described in more detail in
Section 5.4 “Brown-out Reset (BOR)” and
Section 5.4.1 “Detecting BOR”. The brown-out voltage
levels are specific in Section 29.1 “DC Characteristics:
Supply Voltage PIC18F46J11 Family (Industrial)”.
26.3.3
POWER-UP REQUIREMENTS
The on-chip regulator is designed to meet the power-up
requirements for the device. If the application does not
use the regulator, then strict power-up conditions must
be adhered to. While powering up, VDDCORE should not
exceed VDD by 0.3 volts.
26.3.4
OPERATION IN SLEEP MODE
When enabled, the on-chip regulator always consumes
a small incremental amount of current over IDD. This
includes when the device is in Sleep mode, even
though the core digital logic does not require much
power. To provide additional savings in applications
where power resources are critical, the regulator can
be configured to automatically enter a lower quiescent
draw standby mode whenever the device goes into
Sleep mode. This feature is controlled by the REGSLP
bit (WDTCON<7>, Register 26-11). If this bit is set
upon entry into Sleep mode, the regulator will transition
into a lower power state. In this state, the regulator still
provides a regulated output voltage necessary to
maintain SRAM state information, but consumes less
quiescent current.
Substantial Sleep mode power savings can be
obtained by setting the REGSLP bit, but device
wake-up time will increase in order to insure the
regulator has enough time to stabilize.
DS39932D-page 408
 2011 Microchip Technology Inc.
PIC18F46J11 FAMILY
The Two-Speed Start-up feature helps to minimize the
latency period, from oscillator start-up to code execution, by allowing the microcontroller to use the INTRC
oscillator as a clock source until the primary clock
source is available. It is enabled by setting the IESO
Configuration bit.
When enabled, Resets and wake-ups from Sleep mode
cause the device to configure itself to run from the internal oscillator block as the clock source, following the
time-out of the Power-up Timer after a Power-on Reset
is enabled. This allows almost immediate code
execution while the primary oscillator starts and the
OST is running. Once the OST times out, the device
automatically switches to PRI_RUN mode.
Two-Speed Start-up should be enabled only if the
primary oscillator mode is HS or HSPLL
(Crystal-Based) modes. Since the EC and ECPLL
modes do not require an Oscillator Start-up Timer
(OST) delay, Two-Speed Start-up should be disabled.
In all other power-managed modes, Two-Speed
Start-up is not used. The device will be clocked by the
currently selected clock source until the primary clock
source becomes available. The setting of the IESO bit
is ignored.

26.4.1
SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR
USING TWO-SPEED START-UP
While using the INTRC oscillator in Two-Speed
Start-up, the device still obeys the normal command
sequences for entering power-managed modes,
including serial SLEEP instructions (refer to
Section 4.1.4 “Multiple Sleep Commands”). In
practice, this means that user code can change the
SCS<1:0> bit settings or issue SLEEP instructions
before the OST times out. This would allow an application to briefly wake-up, perform routine “housekeeping”
tasks and return to Sleep before the device starts to
operate from the primary oscillator.
User code can also check if the primary clock source is
currently providing the device clocking by checking the
status of the OSTS bit (OSCCON<3>). If the bit is set,
the primary oscillator is providing the clock. Otherwise,
the internal oscillator block is providing the clock during
wake-up from Reset or Sleep mode.
 2011 Microchip Technology Inc.
26.5
Fail-Safe Clock Monitor
The Fail-Safe Clock Monitor (FSCM) allows the
microcontroller to continue operation in the event of an
external oscillator failure by automatically switching the
device clock to the internal oscillator block. The FSCM
function is enabled by setting the FCMEN Configuration
bit.
When FSCM is enabled, the INTRC oscillator runs at
all times to monitor clocks to peripherals and provide a
backup clock in the event of a clock failure. Clock
monitoring (shown in Figure 26-4) is accomplished by
creating a sample clock signal, which is the INTRC output divided by 64. This allows ample time between
FSCM sample clocks for a peripheral clock edge to
occur. The peripheral device clock and the sample
clock are presented as inputs to the clock monitor latch.
The clock monitor is set on the falling edge of the
device clock source but cleared on the rising edge of
the sample clock.

The FSCM will detect failures of the primary or secondary

Clock
Failure
Detected
Clock failure is tested for on the falling edge of the
sample clock. If a sample clock falling edge occurs
while the clock monitor is still set, and a clock failure
has been detected (Figure 26-5), the following results:
• The FSCM generates an oscillator fail interrupt by
setting bit, OSCFIF (PIR2<7>);
• The device clock source is switched to the internal
oscillator block (OSCCON is not updated to show
the current clock source – this is the Fail-safe
condition); and
• The WDT is reset.
During switchover, the postscaler frequency from the
internal oscillator block may not be sufficiently stable
for timing-sensitive applications. In these cases, it may
FIGURE 26-5:
be desirable to select another clock configuration and
enter an alternate power-managed mode. This can be
done to attempt a partial recovery or execute a
controlled shutdown. See Section 4.1.4 “Multiple
Sleep Commands” and Section 26.4.1 “Special
Considerations for Using Two-Speed Start-up” for
more details.
26.5.1
FSCM AND THE WATCHDOG TIMER
Both the FSCM and the WDT are clocked by the
INTRC oscillator. Since the WDT operates with a
separate divider and counter, disabling the WDT has
no effect on the operation of the INTRC oscillator when
the FSCM is enabled.
As already noted, the clock source is switched to the
INTRC clock when a clock failure is detected; this may
mean a substantial change in the speed of code execution. If the WDT is enabled with a small prescale value,
a decrease in clock speed allows a WDT time-out to
occur and a subsequent device Reset. For this reason,
Fail-Safe Clock Monitor events also reset the WDT and
postscaler, allowing it to start timing from when execution speed was changed and decreasing the likelihood
of an erroneous time-out.

26.5.2
EXITING FAIL-SAFE OPERATION
The Fail-Safe Clock Monitor condition is terminated by
either a device Reset or by entering a power-managed
mode. On Reset, the controller starts the primary clock
source specified in Configuration Register 2H (with any
required start-up delays that are required for the oscillator mode, such as OST or PLL timer). The INTRC
oscillator provides the device clock until the primary
clock source becomes ready (similar to a Two-Speed
Start-up). The clock source is then switched to the
primary clock (indicated by the OSTS bit in the
OSCCON register becoming set). The FSCM then
resumes monitoring the peripheral clock.
The primary clock source may never become ready
during start-up. In this case, operation is clocked by the
INTRC oscillator. The OSCCON register will remain in
its Reset state until a power-managed mode is entered.
26.5.3
FSCM INTERRUPTS IN
POWER-MANAGED MODES
By entering a power-managed mode, the clock
multiplexer selects the clock source selected by the
OSCCON register. FSCM of the power-managed clock
source resumes in the power-managed mode.
If an oscillator failure occurs during power-managed
operation, the subsequent events depend on whether
or not the oscillator failure interrupt is enabled. If
enabled (OSCFIF = 1), code execution will be clocked
by the INTRC multiplexer. An automatic transition back
to the failed clock source will not occur.
If the interrupt is disabled, subsequent interrupts while
in Idle mode will cause the CPU to begin executing
instructions while being clocked by the INTRC source.
26.5.4
POR OR WAKE-UP FROM SLEEP
The FSCM is designed to detect oscillator failure at any
point after the device has exited Power-on Reset (POR)
or low-power Sleep mode. When the primary device
clock is either the EC or INTRC modes, monitoring can
begin immediately following these events.
For HS or HSPLL modes, the situation is somewhat
different. Since the oscillator may require a start-up
time considerably longer than the FSCM sample clock
time, a false clock failure may be detected. To prevent
this, the internal oscillator block is automatically configured as the device clock and functions until the primary
clock is stable (the OST and PLL timers have timed

out). This is identical to Two-Speed Start-up mode.
Once the primary clock is stable, the INTRC returns to
its role as the FSCM source.
Note:
The same logic that prevents false
oscillator failure interrupts on POR, or
wake-up from Sleep, will also prevent the
detection of the oscillator’s failure to start
at all following these events. This can be
avoided by monitoring the OSTS bit and
using a timing routine to determine if the
oscillator is taking too long to start. Even
so, no oscillator failure interrupt will be
flagged.
As noted in Section 26.4.1 “Special Considerations
for Using Two-Speed Start-up”, it is also possible to
select another clock configuration and enter an alternate
power-managed mode while waiting for the primary
clock to become stable. When the new power-managed
mode is selected, the primary clock is disabled.
26.6
Program Verification and Code
Protection
For all devices in the PIC18F46J11 family of devices,
the on-chip program memory space is treated as a
single block. Code protection for this block is controlled
by one Configuration bit, CP0. This bit inhibits external
reads and writes to the program memory space. It has
no direct effect in normal execution mode.
26.6.1
CONFIGURATION REGISTER
PROTECTION
The Configuration registers are protected against
untoward changes or reads in two ways. The primary
protection is the write-once feature of the Configuration
bits, which prevents reconfiguration once the bit has
been programmed during a power cycle. To safeguard
against unpredictable events, Configuration bit
changes resulting from individual cell level disruptions
(such as ESD events) will cause a parity error and
trigger a device Reset. This is seen by the user as a
Configuration Mismatch (CM) Reset.
The data for the Configuration registers is derived from
the FCW in program memory. When the CP0 bit is set,
the source data for device configuration is also
protected as a consequence.

In-Circuit Serial Programming
(ICSP)
PIC18F46J11 family 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.
DS39932D-page 412
26.8
In-Circuit Debugger
When the DEBUG Configuration bit is programmed to
a ‘0’, the In-Circuit Debugger functionality is enabled.
This function allows simple debugging functions when
used with MPLAB® IDE. When the microcontroller has
this feature enabled, some resources are not available
for general use.
Table 26-4 lists the resources required by the
background debugger.

INSTRUCTION SET SUMMARY
The PIC18F46J11 family of devices incorporates the
standard set of 75 PIC18 core instructions, and an
extended set of eight new instructions for the optimization of code that is recursive or that utilizes a software
stack. The extended set is discussed later in this
section.
27.1
Standard Instruction Set
The standard PIC18 instruction set adds many
enhancements to the previous PIC® MCU instruction
sets, while maintaining an easy migration from these
PIC MCU instruction sets. Most instructions are a
single program memory word (16 bits), but there are
four instructions that require two program memory
locations.
Each single-word instruction is a 16-bit word divided
into an opcode, which specifies the instruction type and
one or more operands, which further specify the
operation of the instruction.
The instruction set is highly orthogonal and is grouped
into four basic categories:
•
•
•
•
Byte-oriented operations
Bit-oriented operations
Literal operations
Control operations
The PIC18 instruction set summary in Table 27-2 lists
the byte-oriented, bit-oriented, literal and control
operations.
Table 27-1 provides the opcode field descriptions.
Most Byte-oriented instructions have three operands:
1.
2.
3.
The file register (specified by ‘f’)
The destination of the result (specified by ‘d’)
The accessed memory (specified by ‘a’)
The file register designator, ‘f’, specifies which file
register is to be used by the instruction. The destination
designator, ‘d’, specifies where the result of the
operation is to be placed. If ‘d’ is ‘0’, the result is placed
in the WREG register. If ‘d’ is ‘1’, the result is placed in
the file register specified in the instruction.
All Bit-oriented instructions have three operands:
1.
2.
3.
The file register (specified by ‘f’)
The bit in the file register (specified by ‘b’)
The accessed memory (specified by ‘a’)
The Literal instructions may use some of the following
operands:
• A literal value to be loaded into a file register
(specified by ‘k’)
• The desired FSR register to load the literal value
into (specified by ‘f’)
• No operand required (specified by ‘—’)
The Control instructions may use some of the
following operands:
• A program memory address (specified by ‘n’)
• The mode of the CALL or RETURN instructions
(specified by ‘s’)
• The mode of the table read and table write
instructions (specified by ‘m’)
• No operand required (specified by ‘—’)
All instructions are a single word, except for four
double-word instructions. These instructions were
made double-word to contain the required information
in 32 bits. In the second word, the 4 MSbs are ‘1’s. If
this second word is executed as an instruction (by
itself), it will execute as a NOP.
All single-word instructions are executed in a single
instruction cycle, unless a conditional test is true or the
Program Counter (PC) is changed as a result of the
instruction. In these cases, the execution takes two
instruction cycles with the additional instruction
cycle(s) executed as a NOP.
The double-word instructions execute in two instruction
cycles.
One instruction cycle consists of four oscillator periods.
Thus, for an oscillator frequency of 4 MHz, the normal
instruction execution time is 1 s. If a conditional test is
true, or the program counter is changed as a result of
an instruction, the instruction execution time is 2 s.
Two-word branch instructions (if true) would take 3 s.
Figure 27-1 provides the general formats that the
instructions can have. All examples use the convention
‘nnh’ to represent a hexadecimal number.
The instruction set summary, provided in Table 27-2,
lists the standard instructions recognized by the
Microchip MPASMTM Assembler.
Section 27.1.1 “Standard Instruction Set” provides
a description of each instruction.
The bit field designator ‘b’ selects the number of the bit
affected by the operation, while the file register designator, ‘f’, represents the number of the file in which the
bit is located.

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

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

If the Zero bit is ‘1’, then the program
will branch.
The 2’s complement number ‘2n’ is
added to the PC. Since the PC will
have incremented to fetch the next
instruction, the new address will be
PC + 2 + 2n. This instruction is then a
two-cycle instruction.

PIC18 instruction sets.
Extended Instruction Set
In addition to the standard 75 instructions of the PIC18
instruction set, the PIC18F46J11 family of devices also
provides an optional extension to the core CPU functionality. The added features include eight additional
instructions that augment Indirect and Indexed
Addressing operations and the implementation of
Indexed Literal Offset Addressing for many of the
standard PIC18 instructions.
Note:
The additional features of the extended instruction
set are enabled by default on unprogrammed
devices. Users must properly set or clear the XINST
Configuration bit during programming to enable or
disable these features.
The instructions in the extended set can all be
classified as literal operations, which either manipulate
the File Select Registers (FSR), or use them for
Indexed Addressing. Two of the instructions, ADDFSR
and SUBFSR, each have an additional special instantiation for using FSR2. These versions (ADDULNK and
SUBULNK) allow for automatic return after execution.
27.2.1
EXTENDED INSTRUCTION SYNTAX
Most of the extended instructions use indexed arguments, using one of the FSRs and some offset to specify
a source or destination register. When an argument for
an instruction serves as part of Indexed Addressing, it is
enclosed in square brackets (“[ ]”). This is done to indicate that the argument is used as an index or offset. The
MPASM™ Assembler will flag an error if it determines
that an index or offset value is not bracketed.
The extended instructions are specifically implemented
to optimize re-entrant program code (that is, code that
is recursive or that uses a software stack) written in
high-level languages, particularly C. Among other
things, they allow users working in high-level
languages to perform certain operations on data
structures more efficiently. These include:
When the extended instruction set is enabled, brackets
are also used to indicate index arguments in
byte-oriented and bit-oriented instructions. This is in
addition to other changes in their syntax. For more
details, see Section 27.2.3.1 “Extended Instruction
Syntax with Standard PIC18 Commands”.
• Dynamic allocation and deallocation of software
stack space when entering and leaving
subroutines
• Function Pointer invocation
• Software Stack Pointer manipulation
• Manipulation of variables located in a software
stack
TABLE 27-3:
The instruction set extension and the
Indexed Literal Offset Addressing mode
were designed for optimizing applications
written in C; the user may likely never use
these instructions directly in assembler.
The syntax for these commands is
provided as a reference for users who
may be reviewing code that has been
generated by a compiler.
Note:
In the past, square brackets have been
used to denote optional arguments in the
PIC18 and earlier instruction sets. In this
text and going forward, optional
arguments are denoted by braces (“{ }”).

27.2.3
Note:
BYTE-ORIENTED AND
BIT-ORIENTED INSTRUCTIONS IN
INDEXED LITERAL OFFSET MODE
Enabling the PIC18 instruction set extension may cause legacy applications to
behave erratically or fail entirely
In addition to eight new commands in the extended set,
enabling the extended instruction set also enables
Indexed Literal Offset Addressing (Section 6.6.1
“Indexed Addressing with Literal Offset”). This has
a significant impact on the way that many commands of
the standard PIC18 instruction set are interpreted.
When the extended set is disabled, addresses embedded in opcodes are treated as literal memory locations:
either as a location in the Access Bank (a = 0) or in a
GPR bank designated by the BSR (a = 1). When the
extended instruction set is enabled and a = 0, however,
a file register argument of 5Fh or less is interpreted as
an offset from the pointer value in FSR2 and not as a
literal address. For practical purposes, this means that
all instructions that use the Access RAM bit as an
argument – that is, all byte-oriented and bit-oriented
instructions, or almost half of the core PIC18 instructions – may behave differently when the extended
instruction set is enabled.
When the content of FSR2 is 00h, the boundaries of the
Access RAM are essentially remapped to their original
values. This may be useful in creating
backward-compatible code. If this technique is used, it
may be necessary to save the value of FSR2 and
restore it when moving back and forth between C and
assembly routines in order to preserve the Stack
Pointer. Users must also keep in mind the syntax
requirements of the extended instruction set (see
Section 27.2.3.1 “Extended Instruction Syntax with
Standard PIC18 Commands”).
Although the Indexed Literal Offset mode can be very
useful for dynamic stack and pointer manipulation, it
can also be very annoying if a simple arithmetic operation is carried out on the wrong register. Users who are
accustomed to the PIC18 programming must keep in
mind that, when the extended instruction set is
enabled, register addresses of 5Fh or less are used for
Indexed Literal Offset Addressing.
Representative examples of typical byte-oriented and
bit-oriented instructions in the Indexed Literal Offset
mode are provided on the following page to show how
execution is affected. The operand conditions provided
in the examples are applicable to all instructions of
these types.
DS39932D-page 460
27.2.3.1
Extended Instruction Syntax with
Standard PIC18 Commands
When the extended instruction set is enabled, the file
register argument ‘f’ in the standard byte-oriented and
bit-oriented commands is replaced with the literal offset
value ‘k’. As already noted, this occurs only when ‘f’ is
less than or equal to 5Fh. When an offset value is used,
it must be indicated by square brackets (“[ ]”). As with
the extended instructions, the use of brackets indicates
to the compiler that the value is to be interpreted as an
index or an offset. Omitting the brackets, or using a
value greater than 5Fh within the brackets, will
generate an error in the MPASM Assembler.
If the index argument is properly bracketed for Indexed
Literal Offset Addressing, the Access RAM argument is
never specified; it will automatically be assumed to be
‘0’. This is in contrast to standard operation (extended
instruction set disabled) when ‘a’ is set on the basis of
the target address. Declaring the Access RAM bit in
this mode will also generate an error in the MPASM
Assembler.
The destination argument ‘d’ functions as before.
In the latest versions of the MPASM Assembler,
language support for the extended instruction set must
be explicitly invoked. This is done with either the
command line option, /y, or the PE directive in the
source listing.
27.2.4
CONSIDERATIONS WHEN
ENABLING THE EXTENDED
INSTRUCTION SET
It is important to note that the extensions to the instruction set may not be beneficial to all users. In particular,
users who are not writing code that uses a software
stack may not benefit from using the extensions to the
instruction set.
Additionally, the Indexed Literal Offset Addressing
mode may create issues with legacy applications
written to the PIC18 assembler. This is because
instructions in the legacy code may attempt to address
registers in the Access Bank below 5Fh. Since these
addresses are interpreted as literal offsets to FSR2
when the instruction set extension is enabled, the
application may read or write to the wrong data
addresses.
When porting an application to the PIC18F46J11 family, it is very important to consider the type of code. A
large, re-entrant application that is written in C and
would benefit from efficient compilation will do well
when using the instruction set extensions. Legacy
applications that heavily use the Access Bank will most
likely not benefit from using the extended instruction
set.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS WITH
MICROCHIP MPLAB® IDE TOOLS
The latest versions of Microchip’s software tools have
been designed to fully support the extended instruction
set for the PIC18F46J11 family. This includes the
MPLAB C18 C Compiler, MPASM assembly language
and MPLAB Integrated Development Environment
(IDE).
When selecting a target device for software
development, MPLAB IDE will automatically set default
Configuration bits for that device. The default setting for
the XINST Configuration bit is ‘1’, enabling the
extended instruction set and Indexed Literal Offset
Addressing. For proper execution of applications
developed to take advantage of the extended
instruction set, XINST must be set during
programming.
DS39932D-page 462
To develop software for the extended instruction set,
the user must enable support for the instructions and
the Indexed Addressing mode in their language tool(s).
Depending on the environment being used, this may be
done in several ways:
• A menu option or dialog box within the environment that allows the user to configure the
language tool and its settings for the project
• A command line option
• A directive in the source code
These options vary between different compilers,
assemblers and development environments. Users are
encouraged to review the documentation accompanying their development systems for the appropriate
information.

C Compilers
The MPLAB C18 and MPLAB C30 Code Development
Systems are complete ANSI C compilers for
Microchip’s PIC18 and PIC24 families of microcontrollers and the dsPIC30 and dsPIC33 family of digital
signal controllers. These compilers provide powerful
integration capabilities, superior code optimization and
ease of use not found with other compilers.

symbol information that is optimized to the MPLAB IDE
debugger.
28.4
MPLINK Object Linker/
MPLIB Object Librarian
The MPLINK Object Linker combines relocatable
objects created by the MPASM Assembler and the
MPLAB C18 C Compiler. It can link relocatable objects
from precompiled libraries, using directives from a
linker script.
MPLAB ASM30 Assembler, Linker
and Librarian
MPLAB SIM Software Simulator
The MPLAB SIM Software Simulator allows code
development in a PC-hosted environment by simulating the PIC MCUs and dsPIC® DSCs on an instruction
level. On any given instruction, the data areas can be
examined or modified and stimuli can be applied from
a comprehensive stimulus controller. Registers can be
logged to files for further run-time analysis. The trace
buffer and logic analyzer display extend the power of
the simulator to record and track program execution,
actions on I/O, most peripherals and internal registers.
The MPLAB SIM Software Simulator fully supports
symbolic debugging using the MPLAB C18 and
MPLAB C30 C Compilers, and the MPASM and
MPLAB ASM30 Assemblers. The software simulator
offers the flexibility to develop and debug code outside
of the hardware laboratory environment, making it an
excellent, economical software development tool.
The MPLIB Object Librarian manages the creation and
modification of library files of precompiled code. When
a routine from a library is called from a source file, only
the modules that contain that routine will be linked in
with the application. This allows large libraries to be
used efficiently in many different applications.
The object linker/library features include:
• Efficient linking of single libraries instead of many
smaller files
• Enhanced code maintainability by grouping
related modules together
• Flexible creation of libraries with easy module
listing, replacement, deletion and extraction

The power-down current in Sleep mode does not depend on the oscillator type. Power-down current is measured
with the part in Sleep mode, with all I/O pins in high-impedance state and tied to VDD or VSS and all features that
add delta current disabled (such as WDT, Timer1 oscillator, BOR, etc.).
The supply current is mainly a function of operating voltage, frequency and mode. Other factors, such as
I/O pin loading and switching rate, oscillator type and circuit, internal code execution pattern and temperature,
also have an impact on the current consumption. All features that add delta current are disabled (WDT, etc.). The
test conditions for all IDD measurements in active operation mode are:
OSC1 = external square wave, from rail-to-rail; all I/O pins tri-stated, pulled to VDD/VSS;
MCLR = VDD; WDT disabled unless otherwise specified.
Low-Power Timer1 with standard, low-cost 32 kHz crystals have an operating temperature range of -10°C to
+70°C. Extended temperature crystals are available at a much higher cost.

The power-down current in Sleep mode does not depend on the oscillator type. Power-down current is measured
with the part in Sleep mode, with all I/O pins in high-impedance state and tied to VDD or VSS and all features that
add delta current disabled (such as WDT, Timer1 oscillator, BOR, etc.).
The supply current is mainly a function of operating voltage, frequency and mode. Other factors, such as
I/O pin loading and switching rate, oscillator type and circuit, internal code execution pattern and temperature,
also have an impact on the current consumption. All features that add delta current are disabled (WDT, etc.). The
test conditions for all IDD measurements in active operation mode are:
OSC1 = external square wave, from rail-to-rail; all I/O pins tri-stated, pulled to VDD/VSS;
MCLR = VDD; WDT disabled unless otherwise specified.
Low-Power Timer1 with standard, low-cost 32 kHz crystals have an operating temperature range of -10°C to
+70°C. Extended temperature crystals are available at a much higher cost.

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

After this period, the first clock

(Note 2)
(Note 1)
Time the bus must be free
before a new transmission can
start
As a transmitter, the device must provide this internal minimum delay time to bridge the undefined region (min. 300 ns)
of the falling edge of SCLx to avoid unintended generation of Start or Stop conditions.
A Fast mode I2C™ bus device can be used in a Standard mode I2C bus system, but the requirement, TSU:DAT  250 ns,
must then be met. This will automatically be the case if the device does not stretch the LOW period of the SCLx signal.
If such a device does stretch the LOW period of the SCLx signal, it must output the next data bit to the SDAx line, TR
max. + TSU:DAT = 1000 + 250 = 1250 ns (according to the Standard mode I2C bus specification), before the SCLx line is
released.

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

If the A/D clock source is selected as RC, a time of TCY is added before the A/D clock starts.
This allows the SLEEP instruction to be executed.
This is a minimal RC delay (typically 100 ns), which also disconnects the holding capacitor from the analog input.

The time of the A/D clock period is dependent on the device frequency and the TAD clock divider.
ADRES registers may be read on the following TCY cycle.
The time for the holding capacitor to acquire the “New” input voltage when the voltage changes full scale
after the conversion (VDD to VSS or VSS to VDD). The source impedance (RS) on the input channels is 50.
On the following cycle of the device clock.
