Default peripheral input. Input can be moved to any other pin with the PPS input selection registers.
All pin outputs default to PORT latch data. Any pin can be selected as a digital peripheral output with the PPS output selection registers.
These peripheral functions are bidirectional. The output pin selections must be the same as the input pin selections.
These pins are configured for I2C™ logic levels; clock and data signals may be assigned to any of these pins. Assignments to the other pins (e.g., RA5) will operate, but logic levels will be standard
TTL/ST as selected by the INLVL register.

Default peripheral input. Input can be moved to any other pin with the PPS input selection registers.
All pin outputs default to PORT latch data. Any pin can be selected as a digital peripheral output with the PPS output selection registers.
These peripheral functions are bidirectional. The output pin selections must be the same as the input pin selections.
These pins are configured for I2C™ logic levels; clock and data signals may be assigned to any of these pins. Assignments to other pins (e.g. RA5) will operate, but logic levels will be standard TTL/
ST as selected by the INLVL register.

2.1
Automatic Interrupt Context
Saving
During interrupts, certain registers are automatically
saved in shadow registers and restored when returning
from the interrupt. This saves stack space and user
code. See Section 7.5 “Automatic Context Saving”
for more information.
2.2
16-Level Stack with Overflow and
Underflow
These devices have a hardware stack memory 15-bits
wide and 16-words deep. A Stack Overflow or
Underflow will set the appropriate bit (STKOVF or
STKUNF) in the PCON register, and if enabled, will
cause a software Reset. See Section 3.4 “Stack” for
more details.
2.3
File Select Registers
There are two 16-bit File Select Registers (FSR). FSRs
can access all file registers, program memory and data
EEPROM, which allows one Data Pointer for all memory. When an FSR points to program memory, there is
one additional instruction cycle in instructions using
INDF to allow the data to be fetched. General purpose
memory can now also be addressed linearly, providing
the ability to access contiguous data larger than 80
bytes. There are also new instructions to support the
FSRs. See Section 3.5 “Indirect Addressing” for
more details.
2.4
Instruction Set
There are 49 instructions for the enhanced mid-range
CPU to support the features of the CPU. See
Section 33.0 “Instruction Set Summary” for more
details.

MEMORY ORGANIZATION
3.1
Program Memory Organization
The enhanced mid-range core has a 15-bit program
counter capable of addressing 32K x 14 program
memory space. Table 3-1 shows the memory sizes
implemented. Accessing a location above these
boundaries will cause a wrap-around within the
implemented memory space. The Reset vector is at
0000h and the interrupt vector is at 0004h (see
Figure 3-1).
These devices contain the following types of memory:
• Program Memory
- Configuration Words
- Device ID
- User ID
- Program Flash Memory
• Data Memory
- Core Registers
- Special Function Registers
- General Purpose RAM
- Common RAM
- Data EEPROM

3.1.1
READING PROGRAM MEMORY AS
DATA
There are two methods of accessing constants in
program memory. The first method is to use tables of
RETLW instructions. The second method is to set an
FSR to point to the program memory.
3.1.1.1
RETLW Instruction
Stack Level 0
Stack Level 1
The RETLW instruction can be used to provide access
to tables of constants. The recommended way to create
such a table is shown in Example 3-1.

The BRW instruction makes this type of table very
simple to implement. If your code must remain portable
with previous generations of microcontrollers, the older
table read method must be used because the BRW
instruction is not available in some devices, such as the
PIC16F6XX,
PIC16F7XX,
PIC16F8XX,
and
PIC16F9XX devices.

Indirect Read with FSR
FIGURE 3-2:
The program memory can be accessed as data by
setting bit 7 of the FSRxH register and reading the
matching INDFx register. The MOVIW instruction will
place the lower eight bits of the addressed word in the
W register. Writes to the program memory cannot be
performed via the INDF registers. Instructions that
access the program memory via the FSR require one
extra instruction cycle to complete. Example 3-2
demonstrates accessing the program memory via an
FSR.

The data memory is partitioned into 32 memory banks
with 128 bytes in each bank. Each bank consists of
(Figure 3-2):
•
•
•
•
12 core registers
Special Function Registers (SFR)
Up to 80 bytes of General Purpose RAM (GPR)
16 bytes of common RAM
The active bank is selected by writing the bank number
into the Bank Select Register (BSR). Unimplemented
memory will read as ‘0’. All data memory can be
accessed either directly (via instructions that use the
file registers) or indirectly via the two File Select
Registers (FSR). See Section 3.5 “Indirect
Addressing”” for more information.
7Fh
3.2.1
The core registers contain the registers that directly
affect the basic operation. The core registers occupy
the first 12 addresses of every data memory bank
(addresses x00h/x80h through x0Bh/x8Bh). These
registers are listed below in Table 3-2. For detailed
information, see Table 3-4.
TABLE 3-2:
Data memory uses a 12-bit address. The upper seven
bits of the address define the Bank address and the
lower five bits select the registers/RAM in that bank.

STATUS Register
The STATUS register, shown in Register 3-1, contains:
• The arithmetic status of the ALU
• The Reset status
The STATUS register can be the destination for any
instruction, like any other register. If the STATUS
register is the destination for an instruction that affects
the Z, DC or C bits, then the write to these three bits is
disabled. These bits are set or cleared according to the
device logic. Furthermore, the TO and PD bits are not
writable. Therefore, the result of an instruction with the
STATUS register as destination may be different than
intended.
REGISTER 3-1:
U-0
It is recommended, therefore, that only BCF, BSF,
SWAPF and MOVWF instructions are used to alter the
STATUS register, because these instructions do not
affect any Status bits. For other instructions not
affecting any Status bits (Refer to Section 3.0
“Memory Organization”).
Note 1: The C and DC bits operate as Borrow
and Digit Borrow out bits, respectively, in
subtraction.

For example, CLRF STATUS will clear the upper three

PCL and PCLATH
The Program Counter (PC) is 15 bits wide. The low byte
comes from the PCL register, which is a readable and
writable register. The high byte (PC<14:8>) is not directly
readable or writable and comes from PCLATH. On any
Reset, the PC is cleared. Figure 3-3 shows the five
situations for the loading of the PC.

3.3.1
BRANCHING
The branching instructions add an offset to the PC.
This allows relocatable code and code that crosses
page boundaries. There are two forms of branching,
BRW and BRA. The PC will have incremented to fetch
the next instruction in both cases. When using either
branching instruction, a PCL memory boundary may be
crossed.

PC
COMPUTED FUNCTION CALLS
A computed function CALL allows programs to maintain
tables of functions and provide another way to execute
state machines or look-up tables. When performing a
table read using a computed function CALL, care
should be exercised if the table location crosses a PCL
memory boundary (each 256-byte block).
3.3.4
8
PCLATH
3.3.3
The CALLW instruction enables computed calls by
combining PCLATH and W to form the destination
address. A computed CALLW is accomplished by
loading the W register with the desired address and
executing CALLW. The PCL register is loaded with the
value of W and PCH is loaded with PCLATH.
11
PC
A computed GOTO is accomplished by adding an offset to
the program counter (ADDWF PCL). When performing a
table read using a computed GOTO method, care should
be exercised if the table location crosses a PCL memory
boundary (each 256-byte block). Refer to Application
Note AN556, “Implementing a Table Read” (DS00556).
If using the CALL instruction, the PCH<2:0> and PCL
registers are loaded with the operand of the CALL
instruction. PCH<6:3> is loaded with PCLATH<6:3>.
0
PC
COMPUTED GOTO
If using BRA, the entire PC will be loaded with
PC + 1 + the signed value of the operand of the BRA
instruction.
MODIFYING PCL
Executing any instruction with the PCL register as the
destination simultaneously causes the Program
Counter PC<14:8> bits (PCH) to be replaced by the
contents of the PCLATH register. This allows the entire
contents of the program counter to be changed by
writing the desired upper seven bits to the PCLATH
register. When the lower eight bits are written to the
PCL register, all 15 bits of the program counter will
change to the values contained in the PCLATH register
and those being written to the PCL register.

3.4.1
Stack
The stack is available through the TOSH, TOSL and
STKPTR registers. STKPTR is the current value of the
Stack Pointer. TOSH:TOSL register pair points to the
TOP of the stack. Both registers are read/writable. TOS
is split into TOSH and TOSL due to the 15-bit size of
the PC. To access the stack, adjust the value of
STKPTR, which will position TOSH:TOSL, then
read/write to TOSH:TOSL. STKPTR is five bits to allow
detection of overflow and underflow.
All devices have a 16-level x 15-bit wide hardware
stack (refer to Figure 3-4 through Figure 3-7). The
stack space is not part of either program or data space.
The PC is PUSHed onto the stack when CALL or
CALLW instructions are executed or an interrupt causes
a branch. The stack is POPed in the event of a
RETURN, RETLW or a RETFIE instruction execution.
PCLATH is not affected by a PUSH or POP operation.
The stack operates as a circular buffer if the STVREN
bit is programmed to ‘0‘ (Configuration Words). This
means that after the stack has been PUSHed sixteen
times, the seventeenth PUSH overwrites the value that
was stored from the first PUSH. The eighteenth PUSH
overwrites the second PUSH (and so on). The
STKOVF and STKUNF flag bits will be set on an
Overflow/Underflow, regardless of whether the Reset is
enabled.
Note:
Care should be taken when modifying the
STKPTR while interrupts are enabled.
During normal program operation, CALL, CALLW and
Interrupts will increment STKPTR while RETLW,
RETURN, and RETFIE will decrement STKPTR. At any
time, STKPTR can be inspected to see how much
stack is left. The STKPTR always points at the currently
used place on the stack. Therefore, a CALL or CALLW
will increment the STKPTR and then write the PC, and
a return will unload the PC and then decrement the
STKPTR.
Note 1: There are no instructions/mnemonics
called PUSH or POP. These are actions
that occur from the execution of the
CALL, CALLW, RETURN, RETLW and
RETFIE instructions or the vectoring to
an interrupt address.

Indirect Addressing
The INDFn registers are not physical registers. Any
instruction that accesses an INDFn register actually
accesses the register at the address specified by the
File Select Registers (FSR). If the FSRn address
specifies one of the two INDFn registers, the read will
return ‘0’ and the write will not occur (though Status bits
may be affected). The FSRn register value is created
by the pair FSRnH and FSRnL.
The FSR registers form a 16-bit address that allows an
addressing space with 65536 locations. These locations
are divided into four memory regions:

LINEAR DATA MEMORY
The linear data memory is the region from FSR
address 0x2000 to FSR address 0x29AF. This region is
a virtual region that points back to the 80-byte blocks of
GPR memory in all the banks.
Unimplemented memory reads as 0x00. Use of the
linear data memory region allows buffers to be larger
than 80 bytes because incrementing the FSR beyond
one bank will go directly to the GPR memory of the next
bank.
The 16 bytes of common memory are not included in
the linear data memory region.

To make constant data access easier, the entire
Program Flash Memory is mapped to the upper half of
the FSR address space. When the MSB of FSRnH is
set, the lower 15 bits are the address in program
memory which will be accessed through INDF. Only the
lower eight bits of each memory location is accessible
via INDF. Writing to the Program Flash Memory cannot
be accomplished via the FSR/INDF interface. All
instructions that access Program Flash Memory via the
FSR/INDF interface will require one additional
instruction cycle to complete.

4.3
Code Protection
Code protection allows the device to be protected from
unauthorized access. Program memory protection and
data memory are controlled independently. Internal
access to the program memory is unaffected by any
code protection setting.
4.3.1
Development tools, such as device programmers and
debuggers, may be used to read the Device ID and
Revision ID.
PROGRAM MEMORY PROTECTION
The entire program memory space is protected from
external reads and writes by the CP bit in Configuration
Words. When CP = 0, external reads and writes of
program memory are inhibited and a read will return all
‘0’s. The CPU can continue to read program memory,
regardless of the protection bit settings. Self-write
writing the program memory is dependent upon the
write protection setting. See Section 4.4 “Write
Protection” for more information.
4.3.2
DATA MEMORY PROTECTION
The entire data EEPROM is protected from external
reads and writes by the CPD bit in the Configuration
Words. When CPD = 0, external reads and writes of
EEPROM memory are inhibited and a read will return
all ‘0’s. The CPU can continue to read and write
EEPROM memory, regardless of the protection bit
settings.
4.4
Write Protection
Write protection allows the device to be protected from
unintended self-writes. Applications, such as boot
loader software, can be protected while allowing other
regions of the program memory to be modified.
The WRT<1:0> bits in Configuration Words define the
size of the program memory block that is protected.
4.5
User ID
Four memory locations (8000h-8003h) are designated
as ID locations where the user can store checksum or
other code identification numbers. These locations are
readable and writable during normal execution. See
Section 10.4.7 “NVMREG EEPROM, User ID, Device
ID and Configuration Word Access” for more
information on accessing these memory locations. For
more information on checksum calculation, see the
“PIC16(L)F183XX
Memory
Programming
Specification” (DS40001738).
4.6
Device ID and Revision ID
The 14-bit device ID word is located at 8006h and the
14-bit revision ID is located at 8005h. These locations
are read-only and cannot be erased or modified. See
Section 10.4 “NVMREG Access” for more information on accessing these memory locations.

5.1
Power-on Reset (POR)
The POR circuit holds the device in Reset until VDD has
reached an acceptable level for minimum operation.
Slow rising VDD, fast operating speeds or analog
performance may require greater than minimum VDD.
The PWRT, BOR or MCLR features can be used to
extend the start-up period until all device operation
conditions have been met.
5.2
Brown-out Reset (BOR)
The BOR circuit holds the device in Reset while VDD is
below a selectable minimum level. Between the POR
and BOR, complete voltage range coverage for execution protection can be implemented.
The Brown-out Reset module has four operating
modes controlled by the BOREN<1:0> bits in
Configuration Words. The four operating modes are:
•
•
•
•
BOR is always on
BOR is off when in Sleep
BOR is controlled by software
BOR is always off
Refer to Table 5-1 for more information.
The Brown-out Reset voltage level is selectable by
configuring the BORV bit in Configuration Words.
A VDD noise rejection filter prevents the BOR from
triggering on small events. If VDD falls below VBOR for
a duration greater than parameter TBORDC, the device
will reset. See Figure 5-2 for more information.

Note 1: In these specific cases, “Release of POR” and “Wake-up from Sleep”, there is no delay in start-up. The
BOR ready flag, (BORRDY = 1), will be set before the CPU is ready to execute instructions because the
BOR circuit is forced on by the BOREN<1:0> bits.
5.2.1
BOR IS ALWAYS ON
5.2.2
BOR IS OFF IN SLEEP
When the BOREN bits of Configuration Words are
programmed to ‘11’, the BOR is always on. The device
start-up will be delayed until the BOR is ready and VDD
is higher than the BOR threshold.
When the BOREN bits of Configuration Words are
programmed to ‘10’, the BOR is on, except in Sleep.
The device start-up will be delayed until the BOR is
ready and VDD is higher than the BOR threshold.
BOR protection is active during Sleep. The BOR does
not delay wake-up from Sleep.
BOR protection is not active during Sleep, but device
wake-up will be delayed until the BOR can determine
that the VDD is higher than the BOR threshold. The
device wake-up will be delayed until the BOR is ready.

5.2.4
When the BOREN bits of Configuration Words are
programmed to ‘01’, the BOR is controlled by the
SBOREN bit of the BORCON register. The device
wake from sleep is not delayed by the BOR Ready
condition or the VDD level.
BOR ALWAYS OFF
When the BOREN bits of Configuration Word 2 are
programmed to ‘00’, BOR is always disabled. In this
configuration, setting the SBOREN bit will have no
effect on BOR operation.
BOR protection begins as soon as the BOR circuit is
ready. The status of the BOR circuit is reflected in the
BORRDY bit of the BORCON register.
BOR protection is unchanged by Sleep.

Low-Power Brown-out Reset
(LPBOR)
5.5
The Low-Power Brown-Out Reset (LPBOR) is an
essential part of the Reset subsystem. Refer to
Figure 5-1 to see how the BOR interacts with other
modules.
The LPBOR is used to monitor the external VDD pin.
When too low of a voltage is detected, the device is
held in Reset. When this occurs, a register bit (BOR) is
changed to indicate that a BOR Reset has occurred.
The same bit is set for both the BOR and the LPBOR.
Refer to Register 5-2.
5.3.1
ENABLING LPBOR
The LPBOR is controlled by the LPBOR bit of
Configuration Words. When the device is erased, the
LPBOR module defaults to disabled.
5.3.1.1
LPBOR Module Output
The output of the LPBOR module is a signal indicating
whether or not a Reset is to be asserted. This signal is
OR’d together with the Reset signal of the BOR
module to provide the generic BOR signal, which goes
to the PCON register and to the power control block.
5.4
MCLR
The MCLR is an optional external input that can reset
the device. The MCLR function is controlled by the
MCLRE bit of Configuration Words and the LVP bit of
Configuration Words (Table 5-2).

Watchdog Timer (WDT) Reset
The Watchdog Timer generates a Reset if the firmware
does not issue a CLRWDT instruction within the time-out
period. The TO and PD bits in the STATUS register are
changed to indicate the WDT Reset. See Section 9.0
“Watchdog Timer (WDT)” for more information.
5.6
RESET Instruction
A RESET instruction will cause a device Reset. The RI
bit in the PCON register will be set to ‘0’. See Table 5-4
for default conditions after a RESET instruction has
occurred.
5.7
Stack Overflow/Underflow Reset
The device can reset when the Stack overflows or
underflows. The STKOVF or STKUNF bits of the PCON
register indicate the Reset condition. These Resets are
enabled by setting the STVREN bit in Configuration
Words. See Section 3.4.2 “Overflow/Underflow
Reset” for more information.
5.8
Programming Mode Exit
Upon exit of programming mode, the device will
behave as if a device Reset had just occurred.
5.9
Power-up Timer
The Power-up Timer provides a nominal 64 ms
time-out on POR or Brown-out Reset.
The device is held in Reset as long as PWRT is active.
The PWRT delay allows additional time for the VDD to
rise to an acceptable level. The Power-up Timer is
enabled by clearing the PWRTE bit in Configuration
Words.
The Power-up Timer starts after the release of the POR
and BOR.
For additional information, refer to Application Note
AN607, “Power-up Trouble Shooting” (DS00607).
MCLR ENABLED
When MCLR is enabled and the pin is held low, the
device is held in Reset. The MCLR pin is connected to
VDD through an internal weak pull-up.
The device has a noise filter in the MCLR Reset path.
The filter will detect and ignore small pulses.
Note:
5.4.2
A Reset does not drive the MCLR pin low.
MCLR DISABLED
When MCLR is disabled, the pin functions as a general
purpose input and the internal weak pull-up is under
software control. See Section 11.2 “PORTA Registers” for more information.

Start-up Sequence
Upon the release of a POR or BOR, the following must
occur before the device will begin executing:
1.
2.
3.
Power-up Timer runs to completion (if enabled).
MCLR must be released (if enabled).
Oscillator start-up timer runs to completion (if
required for oscillator source).
The Power-up Timer and oscillator start-up timer run
independently of MCLR Reset. If MCLR is kept low
long enough, the Power-up Timer will expire. Upon
bringing MCLR high, the device will begin execution
after ten FOSC cycles (see Figure 5-3). This is useful for
testing purposes or to synchronize more than one
device operating in parallel.
The total time-out will vary based on oscillator
configuration and Power-up Timer Configuration. See
Section 6.0 “Oscillator Module (with Fail-Safe
Clock Monitor)” for more information.

OSCILLATOR MODULE (WITH
FAIL-SAFE CLOCK MONITOR)
6.1
Overview
The oscillator module has a wide variety of clock
sources and selection features that allow it to be used
in a wide range of applications while maximizing
performance and minimizing power consumption.
Figure 6-1 illustrates a block diagram of the oscillator
module.
The ECH, ECM, and ECL clock modes rely on an
external logic level signal as the device clock source.
The LP, XT, and HS clock modes require an external
crystal or resonator to be connected to the device.
Each mode is optimized for a different frequency range.
The INTOSC internal oscillator block produces low and
high-frequency clock sources, designated LFINTOSC
and HFINTOSC. (see Internal Oscillator Block,
Figure 6-1).
Clock sources can be supplied from external oscillators,
quartz-crystal resonators and ceramic resonators. In
addition, the system clock source can be supplied from
one of two internal oscillators and PLL circuits, with a
choice of speeds selectable via software. Additional
clock features include:
• Selectable system clock source between external
or internal sources via software.
• Fail-Safe Clock Monitor (FSCM) designed to
detect a failure of the external clock source (LP,
XT, HS, ECH, ECM, ECL) and switch
automatically to the internal oscillator.
• Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) ensures stability
of crystal oscillator sources.
The RSTOSC bits of Configuration Word 1 determine
the type of oscillator that will be used when the device
is reset, including when it is first powered up.
The internal clock modes, LFINTOSC, HFINTOSC (set
at 1 MHz), or HFINTOSC (set at 32 MHz) can be set
through the RSTOSC bits.
If an external clock source is selected, the FEXTOSC
bits of Configuration Word 1 must be used in
conjunction with the RSTOSC bits to select the
External Clock mode.
The external oscillator module can be configured in one
of the following clock modes by setting the
FEXTOSC<2:0> bits of Configuration Word 1:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
ECL – External Clock Low-Power mode
(below 100 MHz)
ECM – External Clock Medium-Power mode
(100 kHz to 8 MHz)
ECH – External Clock High-Power mode
(above 8 MHz)
LP – 32 kHz Low-Power Crystal mode.
XT – Medium Gain Crystal or Ceramic Resonator
Oscillator mode (between 100 MHz and 4 MHz)
HS – High Gain Crystal or Ceramic Resonator
mode (above 4 MHz)

6.2.1.1
Clock Source Types
Clock sources can be classified as external or internal.
External clock sources rely on external circuitry for the
clock source to function. Examples are: oscillator
modules (ECH, ECM, ECL mode), quartz crystal
resonators or ceramic resonators (LP, XT and HS
modes).
There is also a secondary oscillator block which is
optimized for a 32.768 kHz external clock source,
which can be used as an alternate clock source.
There are two internal oscillator blocks:
• HFINTOSC
• LFINTOSC
The HFINTOSC can produce clock frequencies from
1-16 MHz. The LFINTOSC generates a 31 kHz clock
frequency.
There is a PLL that can be used by the external
oscillator. See Section 6.2.1.4 “4x PLL” for more
details.
Additionally, there is a PLL that can be used by the
HFINTOSC
at
certain
frequencies.
See
Section 6.2.2.2 “2x PLL” for more details.
6.2.1
EC Mode
The External Clock (EC) mode allows an externally
generated logic level signal to be the system clock
source. When operating in this mode, an external clock
source is connected to the CLKIN input.
OSC2/CLKOUT is available for general purpose I/O or
CLKOUT. Figure 6-2 shows the pin connections for EC
mode.
EC mode has three power modes to select from through
Configuration Words:
• ECH – High power, 8-32 MHz
• ECM – Medium power, 0.1-8 MHz
• ECL – Low power, 0-0.1 MHz
The Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) is disabled when
EC mode is selected. Therefore, there is no delay in
operation after a Power-on Reset (POR) or wake-up
from Sleep. Because the PIC® MCU design is fully
static, stopping the external clock input will have the
effect of halting the device while leaving all data intact.
Upon restarting the external clock, the device will
resume operation as if no time had elapsed.
FIGURE 6-2:
EXTERNAL CLOCK (EC)
MODE OPERATION
EXTERNAL CLOCK SOURCES
An external clock source can be used as the device
system clock by performing one of the following
actions:
• Program the RSTOSC<2:0> bits in the
Configuration Words to select an external clock
source that will be used as the default system
clock upon a device Reset.
• Write the NOSC<2:0> and NDIV<3:0> bits in the
OSCCON1 register to switch the system clock
source.

LP, XT, HS Modes
The LP, XT and HS modes support the use of quartz
crystal resonators or ceramic resonators connected to
OSC1 and OSC2 (Figure 6-3). The three modes select
a low, medium or high gain setting of the internal
inverter-amplifier to support various resonator types
and speed.

characteristics
vary
according to type, package and
manufacturer. The user should consult the
manufacturer data sheets for specifications
and recommended application.
2: Always verify oscillator performance over
the VDD and temperature range that is
expected for the application.
LP Oscillator mode selects the lowest gain setting of the
internal inverter-amplifier. LP mode current consumption
is the least of the three modes. This mode is designed to
drive only 32.768 kHz tuning-fork type crystals (watch
crystals).

XT Oscillator mode selects the intermediate gain
setting of the internal inverter-amplifier. XT mode
current consumption is the medium of the three modes.
This mode is best suited to drive resonators with a
medium drive level specification.
HS Oscillator mode selects the highest gain setting of the
internal inverter-amplifier. HS mode current consumption
is the highest of the three modes. This mode is best
suited for resonators that require a high drive setting.
Figure 6-3 and Figure 6-4 show typical circuits for
quartz crystal and ceramic resonators, respectively.

Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST)
If the oscillator module is configured for LP, XT or HS
modes, the Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) counts
1024 oscillations from OSC1. This occurs following a
Power-on Reset (POR) or a wake-up from Sleep. The
OST ensures that the oscillator circuit, using a quartz
crystal resonator or ceramic resonator, has started and
is providing a stable system clock to the oscillator
module.

4x PLL
The oscillator module contains a PLL that can be used

Secondary Oscillator
The secondary oscillator is a separate oscillator block
that can be used as an alternate system clock source.
The secondary oscillator is optimized for 32.768 kHz,
and can be used with an external crystal oscillator
connected to the SOSCI and SOSCO device pins, or
an external clock source connected to the SOSCIN pin.
The secondary oscillator can be selected during

INTERNAL CLOCK SOURCES
6.2.2.2
The device may be configured to use the internal
oscillator block as the system clock by performing one
of the following actions:
• Program the RSTOSC<2:0> bits in Configuration
Words to select the INTOSC clock source, which
will be used as the default system clock upon a
device Reset.
• Write the NOSC<2:0> bits in the OSCCON1
register to switch the system clock source to the
internal oscillator during run-time. See
Section 6.3 “Clock Switching” for more
information.
The function of the OSC2/CLKOUT pin is determined
by the CLKOUTEN bit in Configuration Words.
The oscillator module contains a PLL that can be used
with the HFINTOSC clock source to provide a system
clock source. The input frequency to the PLL is limited
to 8, 12, or 16 MHz, which will yield a system clock
source of 16, 24, or 32 MHz, respectively.
The PLL may be enabled for use by one of two
methods:
1.
2.
The internal oscillator block has two independent
oscillators that can produce two internal system clock
sources.
1.
2.
The HFINTOSC (High-Frequency Internal
Oscillator) is factory calibrated and operates up
to 32 MHz. The frequency of HFINTOSC can be
selected through the OSCFRQ Frequency
Selection register, and fine-tuning can be done
via the OSCTUNE register.
The LFINTOSC (Low-Frequency Internal
Oscillator) is factory calibrated and operates at
31 kHz.
6.2.2.1
HFINTOSC
The High-Frequency Internal Oscillator (HFINTOSC) is
a precision digitally-controlled internal clock source
that produces a stable clock up to 32 MHz. The
HFINTOSC can be enabled through one of the
following methods:
2x PLL
Program the RSTOSC bits in the Configuration
Word 1 to ‘000’ to enable the HFINTOSC
(32 MHz). This setting configures the
HFFRQ<2:0> bits to ‘110’ (16 MHz) and
activates the 2x PLL.
Write ‘000’ the NOSC<2:0> bits in the
OSCCON1 register to enable the 2x PLL, and
write the correct value into the HFFRQ<2:0> bits
of the OSCFRQ register to select the desired
system clock frequency. See Register 6-6 for
more information.
6.2.2.3
Internal Oscillator Frequency
Adjustment
The internal oscillator is factory-calibrated. This
internal oscillator can be adjusted in software by writing
to the OSCTUNE register (Register 6-3).
The default value of the OSCTUNE register is 00h. The
value is a 6-bit two’s complement number. A value of
3Fh will provide an adjustment to the maximum
frequency. A value of 0h will provide an adjustment to
the minimum frequency.
When the OSCTUNE register is modified, the oscillator
frequency will begin shifting to the new frequency. Code
execution continues during this shift. There is no
indication that the shift has occurred.
OSCTUNE does not affect the LFINTOSC frequency.
Operation of features that depend on the LFINTOSC
clock source frequency, such as the Power-up Timer
(PWRT), Watchdog Timer (WDT), Fail-Safe Clock
Monitor (FSCM) and peripherals, are not affected by the
change in frequency.
• Programming the RSTOSC<2:0> bits in
Configuration Word 1 to ‘110’ (1 MHz) or ‘000’
(32 MHz) to set the oscillator upon device
Power-up or Reset
• Write to the NOSC<2:0> bits of the OSCCON1
register during run-time
The HFINTOSC frequency can be selected by setting
the HFFRQ<2:0> bits of the OSCFRQ register.
The NDIV<3:0> bits of the OSCCON1 register allow for
division of the output of the selected clock source by a
range between 1:1 and 1:512.

LFINTOSC
6.3.1
The Low-Frequency Internal Oscillator (LFINTOSC) is
a factory calibrated 31 kHz internal clock source.
The LFINTOSC is the clock source for the Power-up
Timer (PWRT), Watchdog Timer (WDT) and Fail-Safe
Clock Monitor (FSCM).
The LFINTOSC is selected as the clock source through
one of the following methods:
• Programming the RSTOSC<2:0> bits of
Configuration Word 1 to enable LFINTOSC.
• Write to the NOSC<2:0> bits of the OSCCON1
register.
6.2.2.5
Oscillator Status and Manual Enable
The ‘ready’ status of each oscillator is displayed in the
OSCSTAT1 register (Register 6-4). The oscillators can
also be manually enabled through the OSCEN register
(Register 6-5). Manual enables make it possible to verify the operation of the EXTOSC or SOSC crystal oscillators. This can be achieved by enabling the selected
oscillator, then watching the corresponding ‘ready’
state of the oscillator in the OSCSTAT1 register.
6.3
Clock Switching
The system clock source can be switched between
external and internal clock sources via software using
the New Oscillator Source (NOSC) and New Divider
Selection Request (NDIV) bits of the OSCCON1
register. The following clock sources can be selected:
•
•
•
•
•
•
External oscillator (EXTOSC)
High-Frequency Internal Oscillator (HFINTOSC)
Low-Frequency Internal Oscillator (LFINTOSC)
Secondary Oscillator (SOSC)
EXTOSC with 4x PLL
HFINTOSC with 2x PLL
NEW OSCILLATOR SOURCE
(NOSC) AND NEW DIVIDER
SELECTION REQUEST (NDIV) BITS
The New Oscillator Source (NOSC) and New Divider
Selection Request (NDIV) bits of the OSCCON1 register select the system clock source that is used for the
CPU and peripherals.
When the new values of NOSC<2:0> and NDIV<3:0>
are written to OSCCON1, the current oscillator
selection will continue to operate as the system clock
while waiting for the new source to indicate that it is
stable and ready. In some cases, the newly requested
source may already be in use, and is ready
immediately. In the case of a divider-only change, the
new and old sources are the same, so the source will
be ready immediately, as well. The device may enter
Sleep while waiting for the switch as described in
Section 6.3.3 “Clock Switch and Sleep”.
When the new oscillator is ready, the New Oscillator is
Ready (NOSCR) bit of OSCCON3 and the Clock
Switch Interrupt Flag (CSWIF) bit of PIR3 become set
(CSWIF = 1). If Clock Switch Interrupts are enabled
(CLKSIE = 1), an interrupt will be generated at that
time. The Oscillator Ready (ORDY) bit of OSCCON3
can also be polled to determine when the oscillator is
ready in lieu of an interrupt.
If the Clock Switch Hold (CSWHOLD) bit of OSCCON3
is clear, the oscillator switch will occur when the New
Oscillator Ready bit (NOSCR) is set and the interrupt (if
enabled) will be serviced at the new oscillator setting.
If CSWHOLD is set, the oscillator switch is suspended,
while execution continues using the current (old) clock
source. When the NOSCR bit is set, software should:
• Set CSWHOLD = 0 so the switch can complete,
or
• Copy COSC into NOSC<2:0> to abandon the
switch.
If DOZE is in effect, the switch occurs on the next clock
cycle, whether or not the CPU is operating during that
cycle.
Changing the clock post-divider without changing the
clock source (i.e. changing FOSC from 1 MHz to 2 MHz)
is handled in the same manner as a clock source
change, as described previously. The clock source will
already be active, so the switch is relatively quick.
CSWHOLD must be clear (CSWHOLD = 0) for the
switch to complete.
The current COSC and CDIV are indicated in the
OSCCON2 register up to the moment when the switch
actually occurs, at which time OSCCON2 is updated
and ORDY is set. NOSCR is cleared by hardware to
indicate that the switch is complete.

PLL INPUT SWITCH
6.3.3
CLOCK SWITCH AND SLEEP
Switching between the PLL and any non-PLL source is
managed as described above. The input to the PLL is
established when NOSC<2:0> selects the PLL, and
maintained by the COSC setting.
If OSCCON1 is written with a new value and the device
is put to Sleep before the switch completes, the switch
will not take place and the device will enter Sleep
mode.
When NOSC<2:0> and COSC select the PLL with different input sources, the system continues to run using
the COSC setting, and the new source is enabled per
NOSC<2:0>. When the new oscillator is ready (and
CSWHOLD = 0), system operation is suspended while
the PLL input is switched and the PLL acquires lock.
When the device wakes from Sleep and the
CSWHOLD bit is clear, the device will wake with the
‘new’ clock active, and the Clock Switch Interrupt Flag
bit (CSWIF) will be set.
FIGURE 6-6:
When the device wakes from Sleep and the

clock active and the new clock will be requested again.

Fail-Safe Clock Monitor
The Fail-Safe Clock Monitor (FSCM) allows the device
to continue operating should the external oscillator fail.
The FSCM is enabled by setting the FCMEN bit in the
Configuration Words. The FSCM is applicable to all
external Oscillator modes (LP, XT, HS, EC and
Secondary Oscillator).

FAIL-SAFE OPERATION
When the external clock fails, the FSCM switches the
device clock to the HFINTOSC at 1 MHz clock
frequency and sets the bit flag OSFIF of the PIR3
register. Setting this flag will generate an interrupt if the
OSFIE bit of the PIE3 register is also set. The device
firmware can then take steps to mitigate the problems
that may arise from a failed clock. The system clock will
continue to be sourced from the internal clock source
until the device firmware successfully restarts the
external oscillator and switches back to external
operation, by writing to the NOSC<2:0> and
NDIV<3:0>bits of the OSCCON1 register.

FAIL-SAFE DETECTION
The FSCM module detects a failed oscillator by
comparing the external oscillator to the FSCM sample
clock. The sample clock is generated by dividing the
LFINTOSC by 64. See Figure 6-9. Inside the fail
detector block is a latch. The external clock sets the
latch on each falling edge of the external clock. The
sample clock clears the latch on each rising edge of the
sample clock. A failure is detected when an entire
half-cycle of the sample clock elapses before the
external clock goes low.
FIGURE 6-10:
FAIL-SAFE CONDITION CLEARING
The Fail-Safe condition is cleared after a Reset,
executing a SLEEP instruction or changing the
NOSC<2:0> and NDIV<3:0> bits of the OSCCON1
register. When switching to the external oscillator or
PLL, the OST is restarted. While the OST is running,
the device continues to operate from the INTOSC
selected in OSCCON1. When the OST times out, the
Fail-Safe condition is cleared after successfully
switching to the external clock source. The OSFIF bit
should be cleared prior to switching to the external
clock source. If the Fail-Safe condition still exists, the
OSFIF flag will again become set by hardware.
6.4.4
RESET OR WAKE-UP FROM SLEEP
The FSCM is designed to detect an oscillator failure
after the Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) has expired.
The OST is used after waking up from Sleep and after
any type of Reset. The OST is not used with the EC
Clock modes so that the external clock signal can be
stopped if required. Therefore, the device will always
be executing code while the OST is operating.

INTERRUPTS
The interrupt feature allows certain events to preempt
normal program flow. Firmware is used to determine
the source of the interrupt and act accordingly. Some
interrupts can be configured to wake the MCU from
Sleep mode.

7.1
Operation
7.2
Interrupts are disabled upon any device Reset. They
are enabled by setting the following bits:
• GIE bit of the INTCON register
• Interrupt Enable bit(s) for the specific interrupt
event(s)
• PEIE bit of the INTCON register (if the Interrupt
Enable bit of the interrupt event is contained in the
PIEx registers)
Interrupt Latency
Interrupt latency is defined as the time from when the
interrupt event occurs to the time code execution at the
interrupt vector begins. The latency for synchronous
interrupts is three or four instruction cycles. For
asynchronous interrupts, the latency is three to five
instruction cycles, depending on when the interrupt
occurs. See Figure 7-2 and Figure 7-3 for more details.
The PIR1, PIR2, PIR3 and PIR4 registers record
individual interrupts via interrupt flag bits. Interrupt flag
bits will be set, regardless of the status of the GIE, PEIE
and individual interrupt enable bits.
The following events happen when an interrupt event
occurs while the GIE bit is set:
• Current prefetched instruction is flushed
• GIE bit is cleared
• Current Program Counter (PC) is pushed onto the
stack
• Critical registers are automatically saved to the
shadow registers (See “Section 7.5 “Automatic
Context Saving”)
• PC is loaded with the interrupt vector 0004h
The firmware within the Interrupt Service Routine (ISR)
should determine the source of the interrupt by polling
the interrupt flag bits. The interrupt flag bits must be
cleared before exiting the ISR to avoid repeated
interrupts. Because the GIE bit is cleared, any interrupt
that occurs while executing the ISR will be recorded
through its interrupt flag, but will not cause the
processor to redirect to the interrupt vector.
The RETFIE instruction exits the ISR by popping the
previous address from the stack, restoring the saved
context from the shadow registers and setting the GIE
bit.
For additional information on a specific interrupt’s
operation, refer to its peripheral chapter.
Note 1: Individual interrupt flag bits are set,
regardless of the state of any other
enable bits.
2: All interrupts will be ignored while the GIE
bit is cleared. Any interrupt occurring
while the GIE bit is clear will be serviced
when the GIE bit is set again.

7.3
Interrupts During Sleep
Some interrupts can be used to wake from Sleep. To
wake from Sleep, the peripheral must be able to
operate without the system clock. The interrupt source
must have the appropriate Interrupt Enable bit(s) set
prior to entering Sleep.
On waking from Sleep, if the GIE bit is also set, the
processor will branch to the interrupt vector. Otherwise,
the processor will continue executing instructions after
the SLEEP instruction. The instruction directly after the
SLEEP instruction will always be executed before
branching to the ISR. Refer to Section 8.0
“Power-Saving Operation Modes” for more details.
7.4
INT Pin
The INT pin can be used to generate an asynchronous
edge-triggered interrupt. This interrupt is enabled by
setting the INTE bit of the PIE0 register. The INTEDG bit
of the INTCON register determines on which edge the
interrupt will occur. When the INTEDG bit is set, the
rising edge will cause the interrupt. When the INTEDG
bit is clear, the falling edge will cause the interrupt. The
INTF bit of the PIR0 register will be set when a valid
edge appears on the INT pin. If the GIE and INTE bits
are also set, the processor will redirect program
execution to the interrupt vector.
7.5
Automatic Context Saving
Upon entering an interrupt, the return PC address is
saved on the stack. Additionally, the following registers
are automatically saved in the shadow registers:
•
•
•
•
•
W register
STATUS register (except for TO and PD)
BSR register
FSR registers
PCLATH register
Upon exiting the Interrupt Service Routine, these
registers are automatically restored. Any modifications
to these registers during the ISR will be lost. If
modifications to any of these registers are desired, the
corresponding shadow register should be modified and
the value will be restored when exiting the ISR. The
shadow registers are available in Bank 31 and are
readable and writable. Depending on the user’s
application, other registers may also need to be saved.

POWER-SAVING OPERATION
MODES
The purpose of the Power-Down modes is to reduce
power consumption. There are two Power-Down
modes: Doze mode and Sleep mode.
8.1
Doze Mode
Doze mode allows for power savings by reducing CPU
operation and program memory access, without
affecting peripheral operation. Doze mode differs from
Sleep mode because the system oscillators continue to
operate, while only the CPU and program memory are
affected. The reduced execution saves power by
eliminating unnecessary operations within the CPU
and memory.
When the Doze Enable (DOZEN) bit is set
(DOZEN = 1), the CPU executes only one instruction
cycle out of every N cycles as defined by the
DOZE<2:0> bits of the CPUDOZE register. For
example, if DOZE<2:0> = 100, the instruction cycle
ratio is 1:32. The CPU and memory execute for one
instruction cycle and then lay idle for 31 instruction
cycles. During the unused cycles, the peripherals
continue to operate at the system clock speed.

8.1.1
DOZE OPERATION
8.2
The Doze operation is illustrated in Figure 8-1. For this
example:
• Doze enable (DOZEN) bit set (DOZEN = 1)
• DOZE<2:0> = 001 (1:4) ratio
• Recover-on-Interrupt (ROI) bit set (ROI = 1)
As with normal operation, the program memory fetches
for the next instruction cycle. The instruction clocks to
the peripherals continue throughout.
8.1.2
Sleep Mode
Sleep mode is entered by executing the SLEEP
instruction, while the Idle Enable (IDLEN) bit of the
CPUDOZE register is clear (IDLEN = 0). If the SLEEP
instruction is executed while the IDLEN bit is set
(IDLEN = 1), the CPU will enter the Idle mode
(Section 8.2.3 “Low Power Sleep Mode”).
Upon entering Sleep mode, the following conditions
exist:
1.
INTERRUPTS DURING DOZE
If an interrupt occurs and the Recover-on-Interrupt
(ROI) bit is clear (ROI = 0) at the time of the interrupt,
the Interrupt Service Routine (ISR) continues to execute at the rate selected by DOZE<2:0>. Interrupt
latency is extended by the DOZE<2:0> ratio.
If an interrupt occurs and the ROI bit is set (ROI = 1) at
the time of the interrupt, the DOZEN bit is cleared and
the CPU executes at full speed. The prefetched instruction is executed and then the interrupt vector sequence
is executed. In Figure 8-1, the interrupt occurs during
the 2nd instruction cycle of the Doze period, and immediately brings the CPU out of Doze. If the Doze-on-Exit
(DOE) bit is set (DOE = 1) when the RETFIE operation
is executed, DOZEN is set, and the CPU executes at
the reduced rate based on the DOZE<2:0> ratio.
WDT will be cleared but keeps running if
enabled for operation during Sleep
2. The PD bit of the STATUS register is cleared
3. The TO bit of the STATUS register is set
4. The CPU clock is disabled
5. 31 kHz LFINTOSC, HFINTOSC and SOSC are
unaffected and peripherals using them may
continue operation in Sleep.
6. Timer1 and peripherals that use it continue to
operate in Sleep when the Timer1 clock source
selected is:
• LFINTOSC
• T1CKI
• Secondary Oscillator
7. ADC is unaffected if the dedicated ADCRC
oscillator is selected
8. I/O ports maintain the status they had before
SLEEP was executed (driving high, low, or
high-impedance)
9. Resets other than WDT are not affected by
Sleep mode
Refer to individual chapters for more details on
peripheral operation during Sleep.
To minimize current consumption, the following
conditions should be considered:
- I/O pins should not be floating
- External circuitry sinking current from I/O pins
- Internal circuitry sourcing current from I/O
pins
- Current draw from pins with internal weak
pull-ups
- Modules using any oscillator
I/O pins that are high-impedance inputs should be
pulled to VDD or VSS externally to avoid switching
currents caused by floating inputs.
Examples of internal circuitry that might be sourcing
current include modules such as the DAC and FVR
modules. See Section 23.0 “5-Bit Digital-to-Analog
Converter (DAC1) Module” and Section 15.0 “Fixed
Voltage Reference (FVR)” for more information on
these modules.

8.2.1
WAKE-UP FROM SLEEP
8.2.2
The device can wake-up from Sleep through one of the
following events:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
External Reset input on MCLR pin, if enabled
BOR Reset, if enabled.
POR Reset.
Watchdog Timer, if enabled
Any external interrupt.
Interrupts by peripherals capable of running
during Sleep (see individual peripheral for more
information).
The first three events will cause a device Reset. The
last three events are considered a continuation of
program execution. To determine whether a device
Reset or wake-up event occurred, refer to Section 5.11
“Determining the Cause of a Reset”.
When the SLEEP instruction is being executed, the next
instruction (PC + 1) is prefetched. For the device to
wake-up through an interrupt event, the corresponding
interrupt enable bit must be enabled. Wake-up will
occur regardless of the state of the GIE bit. If the GIE
bit is disabled, the device continues execution at the
instruction after the SLEEP instruction. If the GIE bit is
enabled, the device executes the instruction after the
SLEEP instruction, the device will then call the Interrupt
Service Routine. In cases where the execution of the
instruction following Sleep is not desirable, the user
should have a NOP after the SLEEP instruction.
WAKE-UP USING INTERRUPTS
When global interrupts are disabled (GIE cleared) and
any interrupt source, with the exception of the clock
switch interrupt, has both its interrupt enable bit and
interrupt flag bit set, one of the following will occur:
• If the interrupt occurs before the execution of a
SLEEP instruction
- SLEEP instruction will execute as a NOP
- WDT and WDT prescaler will not be cleared
- TO bit of the STATUS register will not be set
- PD bit of the STATUS register will not be
cleared
• If the interrupt occurs during or after the
execution of a SLEEP instruction
- SLEEP instruction will be completely
executed
- Device will immediately wake-up from Sleep
- WDT and WDT prescaler will be cleared
- TO bit of the STATUS register will be set
- PD bit of the STATUS register will be cleared
Even if the flag bits were checked before executing a
SLEEP instruction, it may be possible for flag bits to
become set before the SLEEP instruction completes.
To determine whether a SLEEP instruction executed,
test the PD bit. If the PD bit is set, the SLEEP instruction
was executed as a NOP.
The WDT is cleared when the device wakes-up from
Sleep, regardless of the source of wake-up.

PIC16(L)F18324/18344
8.2.3
LOW POWER SLEEP MODE
8.2.4
The PIC16F18324/18344 device contains an internal
Low Dropout (LDO) voltage regulator, which allows the
device I/O pins to operate at voltages up to 5.5V while
the internal device logic operates at a lower voltage.
The LDO and its associated reference circuitry must
remain active when the device is in Sleep mode.
The PIC16F18324/18344 allows the user to optimize
the operating current in Sleep, depending on the
application requirements.
Low-Power Sleep mode can be selected by setting the
VREGPM<1:0> bits of the VREGCON register.
Depending on the configuration of these bits, the LDO
and reference circuitry are placed in a low-power state
when the device is in Sleep.
8.2.3.1
Sleep Current vs. Wake-up Time
In the default operating mode, the LDO and reference
circuitry remain in the normal configuration while in
Sleep. The device is able to exit Sleep mode quickly
since all circuits remain active. In Low-Power Sleep
mode, when waking-up from Sleep, an extra delay time
is required for these circuits to return to the normal
configuration and stabilize.
The Low-Power Sleep mode is beneficial for
applications that stay in Sleep mode for long periods of
time. The Normal mode is beneficial for applications
that need to wake from Sleep quickly and frequently.
8.2.3.2
Peripheral Usage in Sleep
Some peripherals that can operate in Sleep mode will
not operate properly with the Low-Power Sleep mode
selected. The Low-Power Sleep mode is intended for
use with these peripherals:
•
•
•
•
IDLE MODE
When the Idle Enable (IDLEN) bit is clear (IDLEN = 0),
the SLEEP instruction will put the device into full Sleep
mode (see Section 8.2 “Sleep Mode”). When IDLEN
is set (IDLEN = 1), the SLEEP instruction will put the
device into Idle mode. In Idle mode, the CPU and memory operations are halted, but the peripheral clocks
continue to run. This mode is similar to Doze mode,
except that in IDLE both the CPU and program memory
are shut off.
Note:
Peripherals using FOSC will continue
running while in Idle (but not in Sleep).
Note:
If CLKOUT is enabled (CLKOUT = 0,
Configuration Word 1), the output will
continue operating while in Idle.
8.2.4.1
Idle and Interrupts
Idle mode ends when an interrupt occurs (even if
GIE = 0), but IDLEN is not changed. The device can
re-enter IDLE by executing the SLEEP instruction.
If Recover-on-Interrupt is enabled (ROI = 1), the
interrupt that brings the device out of Idle also restores
full-speed CPU execution when DOZE is also enabled.
8.2.4.2
Idle and WDT
When in Idle, the WDT Reset is blocked and will
instead wake the device. The WDT wake-up is not an
interrupt, therefore ROI does not apply.
Note:
Brown-out Reset (BOR)
Watchdog Timer (WDT)
External interrupt pin/Interrupt-on-change pins
Timer1 (with external clock source)
The WDT can bring the device out of Idle,
in the same way it brings the device out of
Sleep. The DOZEN bit is not affected.
It is the responsibility of the end user to determine what
is acceptable for their application when setting the
VREGPM settings in order to ensure operation in
Sleep.
Note:
The PIC16LF18324/18344 does not have
a configurable Low-Power Sleep mode.
PIC16LF18324/18344 is an unregulated
device and is always in the lowest power
state when in Sleep, with no wake-up time
penalty. This device has a lower maximum
VDD and I/O voltage than the
PIC16F18324/18344. See Section 34.0
“Electrical Specifications” for more
information.

WATCHDOG TIMER (WDT)
The Watchdog Timer is a system timer that generates
a Reset if the firmware does not issue a CLRWDT
instruction within the time-out period. The Watchdog
Timer is typically used to recover the system from
unexpected events.
The WDT has the following features:
• Independent clock source
• Multiple operating modes
- WDT is always on
- WDT is off when in Sleep
- WDT is controlled by software
- WDT is always off
• Configurable time-out period is from 1 ms to 256
seconds (nominal)
• Multiple Reset conditions
• Operation during Sleep

Independent Clock Source
9.3
Time-out Period
The WDT derives its time base from the 31 kHz
LFINTOSC internal oscillator. Time intervals in this
chapter are based on a nominal interval of 1 ms. See
Table 34-8 for the LFINTOSC specification.
The WDTPS<4:0> bits of the WDTCON register set the
time-out period from 1 ms to 256 seconds (nominal).
After a Reset, the default time-out period is two
seconds.
9.2
9.4
WDT Operating Modes
The Watchdog Timer module has four operating modes
controlled by the WDTE<1:0> bits in Configuration
Words. See Table 9-1.
9.2.1
WDT IS ALWAYS ON
When the WDTE bits of Configuration Words are set to
‘11’, the WDT is always on.
WDT protection is active during Sleep.
9.2.2
WDT IS OFF IN SLEEP
Clearing the WDT
The WDT is cleared when any of the following
conditions occur:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Any Reset
CLRWDT instruction is executed
Device enters Sleep
Device wakes up from Sleep
Oscillator fail
WDT is disabled
Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) is running
When the WDTE bits of Configuration Words are set to
‘10’, the WDT is on, except in Sleep.
See Table 9-2 for more information.
WDT protection is not active during Sleep.
9.5
9.2.3
WDT CONTROLLED BY SOFTWARE
When the WDTE bits of Configuration Words are set to
‘01’, the WDT is controlled by the SWDTEN bit of the
WDTCON register.
WDT protection is unchanged by Sleep. See Table 9-1
for more details.

Operation During Sleep
When the device enters Sleep, the WDT is cleared. If
the WDT is enabled during Sleep, the WDT resumes
counting.
When the device exits Sleep, the WDT is cleared
again. The WDT remains clear until the OST, if
enabled, completes. See Section 6.0 “Oscillator
Module (with Fail-Safe Clock Monitor)” for more
information on the OST.
When a WDT time-out occurs while the device is in
Sleep, no Reset is generated. Instead, the device
wakes up and resumes operation. The TO and PD bits
in the STATUS register are changed to indicate the
event. See STATUS Register (Register 3-1) for more
information.

NONVOLATILE MEMORY
(NVM) CONTROL
TABLE 10-1:
NVM is separated into two types: Program Flash
Memory and Data EEPROM.
NVM is accessible by using both the FSR and INDF
registers, or through the NVMREG register interface.
The write time is controlled by an on-chip timer. The
write/erase voltages are generated by an on-chip
charge pump rated to operate over the operating
voltage range of the device.
NVM can be protected in two ways; by either code
protection or write protection.
Code protection (CP and CPD bits in Configuration
Word 4) disables access, reading and writing, to both
the Program Flash Memory and EEPROM via external
device programmers. Code protection does not affect
the self-write and erase functionality. Code protection
can only be Reset by a device programmer performing
a Bulk Erase to the device, clearing all nonvolatile
memory, Configuration bits, and User IDs.
Write protection prohibits self-write and erase to a
portion or all of the Program Flash Memory, as defined
by the WRT<1:0> bits of Configuration Word 3. Write
protection does not affect a device programmer’s
ability to read, write, or erase the device.

To modify only a portion of a previously
programmed row, then the contents of the
entire row must be read and saved in
RAM prior to the erase. Then, the new
data and retained data can be written into
the write latches to reprogram the row of
Program Flash Memory. However, any
unprogrammed locations can be written
without first erasing the row. In this case,
it is not necessary to save and rewrite the
other previously programmed locations
PROGRAM MEMORY VOLTAGES
The Program Flash Memory is readable and writable
during normal operation over the full VDD range.
10.1.1.1
Programming Externally
The program memory cell and control logic support
write and Bulk Erase operations down to the minimum
device operating voltage. Special BOR operation is
enabled during Bulk Erase (Section 5.2.3 “BOR
Controlled by Software”).
Read operations return a single word of memory. When
write and erase operations are done on a row basis, the
row size is defined in Table 10-1. Program Flash
Memory will erase to a logic ‘1’ and program to a logic
‘0’.
DS40001800A-page 118
Write
Latches
(words)
After a row has been erased, all or a portion of this row
can be programmed. Data to be written into the
program memory row is written to 14-bit wide data write
latches. These latches are not directly accessible to the
user, but may be loaded via sequential writes to the
NVMDATH:NVMDATL register pair.
Program Flash Memory consists of 8192 14-bit words
as user memory, with additional words for User ID
information, Configuration Words, and interrupt
vectors. Program Flash Memory provides storage
locations for:
Program Flash Memory data can be read and/or written
to through:
Row Erase
(words)
It is important to understand the Program Flash
Memory structure for erase and programming
operations. Program Flash Memory is arranged in
rows. A row consists of 32 14-bit program memory
words. A row is the minimum size that can be erased
by user software.

• User program instructions
• User defined data

Data EEPROM
10.3
Data EEPROM consists of 256 bytes of user data
memory. The EEPROM provides storage locations for
8-bit user defined data.
EEPROM can be read and/or written through:
FSR and INDF Access
The FSR and INDF registers allow indirect access to
the Program Flash Memory or EEPROM.
10.3.1
FSR READ
With the intended address loaded into an FSR register
a MOVIW instruction or read of INDF will read data from
the Program Flash Memory or EEPROM.
• FSR/INDF indirect access (Section 10.3 “FSR
and INDF Access”)
• NVMREG access (Section 10.4 “NVMREG
Access”)
• In-Circuit Serial Programming (ICSP)
Unlike Program Flash Memory, which must be written
to by row, EEPROM can be written to word by word.
Reading from NVM requires one instruction cycle. The
CPU operation is suspended during the read, and
resumes immediately after. Read operations return a
single word of memory.
10.3.2
FSR WRITE
Writing/erasing the NVM through the FSR registers (ex.
MOVWI instruction) is not supported in the
PIC16(L)F18324/18344 devices.

NVMREG Access
The NVMREG interface allows read/write access to all
the locations accessible by FSRs, and also read/write
access to the User ID locations, and read-only access
to the device identification, revision, and Configuration
data.
NVMDATH:NVMDATL register pair will hold this value
until another read or until it is written to by the user.
Upon completion, the RD bit is cleared by hardware.
FIGURE 10-1:
Reading, writing, or erasing of NVM via the NVMREG
interface is prevented when the device is
code-protected.
10.4.1
NVMREG READ OPERATION
To read a NVM location using the NVMREG interface,
the user must:
1.
2.
3.
Start Read Operation
Select Memory:
Program Flash Memory, EEPROM,
Config. Words, User ID (NVMREGS)
Clear the NVMREGS bit of the NVMCON1
register if the user intends to access Program
Flash Memory locations, or set NVMREGS if the
user intends to access User ID, Configuration,
or EEPROM locations.
Write the desired address
into the
NVMADRH:NVMADRL
register
pair
(Table 10-2).
Set the RD bit of the NVMCON1 register to
initiate the read.
Once the read control bit is set, the CPU operation is
suspended during the read, and resumes immediately
after. The data is available in the very next cycle, in the
NVMDATH:NVMDATL register pair; therefore, it can be
read as two bytes in the following instructions.

NVM UNLOCK SEQUENCE
FIGURE 10-2:
The unlock sequence is a mechanism that protects the
NVM from unintended self-write programming or erasing. The sequence must be executed and completed
without interruption to successfully complete any of the
following operations:
Start Unlock Sequence
• Program Flash Memory Row Erase
• Load of Program Flash Memory write latches
• Write of Program Flash Memory write latches to
PFM memory
• Write of Program Flash Memory write latches to
User IDs
• Write to EEPROM
Write 55h to NVMCON2
The unlock sequence consists of the following steps
and must be completed in order:
Write AAh to NVMCON2
• Write 55h to NVMCON2
• Write AAh to NMVCON2
• Set the WR bit of NVMCON1
Initiate Write or Erase Operation
(WR = 1)
Once the WR bit is set, the processor will stall internal
operations until the operation is complete and then
resume with the next instruction.

the NVMADRH:NVMADRL register pair
(Table 10-2).
Perform the unlock sequence as described in
Section 10.4.2 “NVM Unlock Sequence”.
A single EEPROM word is written with NVMDATA. The
operation includes an implicit erase cycle for that word
(it is not necessary to set the FREE bit), and requires
many instruction cycles to finish. CPU execution
continues in parallel and, when complete, WR is
cleared by hardware, NVMIF is set, and an interrupt will
occur if NVMIE is also set. Software must poll the WR
bit to determine when writing is complete, or wait for the
interrupt to occur. WREN will remain unchanged.
Once the EEPROM write operation begins, clearing the
WR bit will have no effect; the operation will continue to
run to completion.
10.4.4
NVMREG ERASE OF PROGRAM
FLASH MEMORY
Before writing to Program Flash Memory, the word(s) to
be written must be erased or previously unwritten.
Program Flash Memory can only be erased one row at
a time. No automatic erase occurs upon the initiation of
the write to Program Flash Memory.

While erasing Program Flash Memory, CPU operation
is suspended, and resumes when the operation is
complete. Upon completion, the NVMIF is set, and an
interrupt will occur if the NVMIE bit is also set.
Write latch data is not affected by erase operations,
and WREN will remain unchanged.

NVMREG WRITE TO PROGRAM
FLASH MEMORY
1.
2.
Program memory is programmed using the following
steps:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Load the address of the row to be programmed
into NVMADRH:NVMADRL.
Load each write latch with data.
Initiate a programming operation.
Repeat steps 1 through 3 until all data is written.
Before writing to program memory, the word(s) to be
written must be erased or previously unwritten.
Program memory can only be erased one row at a time.
No automatic erase occurs upon the initiation of the
write.
Program memory can be written one or more words at
a time. The maximum number of words written at one
time is equal to the number of write latches. See
Figure 10-4 (row writes to program memory with 32
write latches) for more details.
The write latches are aligned to the Flash row address
boundary defined by the upper ten bits of
NVMADRH:NVMADRL, (NVMADRH<6:0>:NVMADRL<7:5>)
with the lower five bits of NVMADRL, (NVMADRL<4:0>)
determining the write latch being loaded. Write operations do not cross these boundaries. At the completion
of a program memory write operation, the data in the
write latches is reset to contain 0x3FFF.
The following steps should be completed to load the
write latches and program a row of program memory.
These steps are divided into two parts. First, each write
latch
is
loaded
with
data
from
the
NVMDATH:NVMDATL using the unlock sequence with
LWLO = 1. When the last word to be loaded into the
write latch is ready, the LWLO bit is cleared and the
unlock sequence executed. This initiates the
programming operation, writing all the latches into
Flash program memory.
Note:
The special unlock sequence is required
to load a write latch with data or initiate a
Flash programming operation. If the
unlock sequence is interrupted, writing to
the latches or program memory will not be
initiated.
DS40001800A-page 124
Set the WREN bit of the NVMCON1 register.
Clear the NVMREGS bit of the NVMCON1
register.
3. Set the LWLO bit of the NVMCON1 register.
When the LWLO bit of the NVMCON1 register is
‘1’, the write sequence will only load the write
latches and will not initiate the write to Flash
program memory.
4. Load the NVMADRH:NVMADRL register pair
with the address of the location to be written.
5. Load the NVMDATH:NVMDATL register pair
with the program memory data to be written.
6. Execute the unlock sequence (Section 10.4.2
“NVM Unlock Sequence”). The write latch is
now loaded.
7. Increment the NVMADRH:NVMADRL register
pair to point to the next location.
8. Repeat steps 5 through 7 until all but the last
write latch has been loaded.
9. Clear the LWLO bit of the NVMCON1 register.
When the LWLO bit of the NVMCON1 register is
‘0’, the write sequence will initiate the write to
Flash program memory.
10. Load the NVMDATH:NVMDATL register pair
with the program memory data to be written.
11. Execute the unlock sequence (Section 10.4.2
“NVM Unlock Sequence”). The entire program
memory latch content is now written to Flash
program memory.
Note:
The program memory write latches are
reset to the blank state (0x3FFF) at the
completion of every write or erase
operation. As a result, it is not necessary
to load all the program memory write
latches. Unloaded latches will remain in
the blank state.
An example of the complete write sequence is shown in
Example 10-4. The initial address is loaded into the
NVMADRH:NVMADRL register pair; the data is loaded
using indirect addressing.

MODIFYING PROGRAM FLASH
MEMORY
When modifying existing data in a program memory
row, and data within that row must be preserved, it must
first be read and saved in a RAM image. Program
memory is modified using the following steps:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
Load the starting address of the row to be
modified.
Read the existing data from the row into a RAM
image.
Modify the RAM image to contain the new data
to be written into program memory.
Load the starting address of the row to be
rewritten.
Erase the program memory row.
Load the write latches with data from the RAM
image.
Initiate a programming operation.

WRITE VERIFY
It is considered good programming practice to verify that
program memory writes agree with the intended value.
Since program memory is stored as a full page then the
stored program memory contents are compared with
the intended data stored in RAM after the last write is
complete.

11.0
Disabling the input buffer prevents analog signal levels
on the pin between a logic high and low from causing
excessive current in the logic input circuitry. A
simplified model of a generic I/O port, without the
interfaces to other peripherals, is shown in Figure 11-1.
FIGURE 11-1:
GENERIC I/O PORT
OPERATION

●
Each port has ten standard registers for its operation.
These registers are:
D
• PORTx registers (reads the levels on the pins of
the device)
• LATx registers (output latch)
• TRISx registers (data direction)
• ANSELx registers (analog select)
• WPUx registers (weak pull-up)
• INLVLx (input level control)
• SLRCONx registers (slew rate)
• ODCONx registers (open-drain)

To digital peripherals
Most port pins share functions with device peripherals,
both analog and digital. In general, when a peripheral
is enabled on a port pin, that pin cannot be used as a
general purpose output; however, the pin can still be
read.
The Data Latch (LATx registers) is useful for
read-modify-write operations on the value that the I/O
pins are driving.
A write operation to the LATx register has the same
effect as a write to the corresponding PORTx register.
A read of the LATx register reads of the values held in
the I/O PORT latches, while a read of the PORTx
register reads the actual I/O pin value.
Ports that support analog inputs have an associated
ANSELx register. When an ANSEL bit is set, the digital
input buffer associated with that bit is disabled.

I/O Priorities
Each pin defaults to the PORT data latch after Reset.
Other functions are selected with the peripheral pin
select logic. See Section 12.0 “Peripheral Pin Select
(PPS) Module” for more information.
Analog input functions, such as ADC and comparator
inputs, are not shown in the peripheral pin select lists.
These inputs are active when the I/O pin is set for
Analog mode using the ANSELx register. Digital output
functions may continue to control the pin when it is in
Analog mode.
Analog outputs, when enabled, take priority over the
digital outputs and force the digital output driver to the
high-impedance state.

11.2.3
PORTA Registers
11.2.1
DATA REGISTER
PORTA is a 6-bit wide, bidirectional port. The
corresponding data direction register is TRISA
(Register 11-2). Setting a TRISA bit (= 1) will make the
corresponding PORTA pin an input (i.e., disable the
output driver). Clearing a TRISA bit (= 0) will make the
corresponding PORTA pin an output (i.e., enables
output driver and puts the contents of the output latch
on the selected pin). The exception is RA3, which is
input-only and its TRIS bit will always read as ‘1’.
Example 11-1 shows how to initialize PORTA.
Reading the PORTA register (Register 11-1) reads the
status of the pins, whereas writing to it will write to the
PORT latch. All write operations are read-modify-write
operations. Therefore, a write to a port implies that the
port pins are read, this value is modified and then
written to the PORT data latch (LATA).
OPEN-DRAIN CONTROL
The ODCONA register (Register 11-6) controls the
open-drain feature of the port. Open-drain operation is
independently selected for each pin. When an
ODCONA bit is set, the corresponding port output
becomes an open-drain driver capable of sinking
current only. When an ODCONA bit is cleared, the
corresponding port output pin is the standard push-pull
drive capable of sourcing and sinking current.
Note:
11.2.4
It is not necessary to set open-drain
control when using the pin for I2C™; the
I2C module controls the pin and makes
the pin open-drain.
SLEW RATE CONTROL
The PORT data latch LATA (Register 11-3) holds the
output port data, and contains the latest value of a
LATA or PORTA write.
The SLRCONA register (Register 11-7) controls the
slew rate option for each port pin. Slew rate control is
independently selectable for each port pin. When an
SLRCONA bit is set, the corresponding port pin drive is
slew rate limited. When an SLRCONA bit is cleared,
The corresponding port pin drive slews at the maximum
rate possible.

The INLVLA register (Register 11-8) controls the input
voltage threshold for each of the available PORTA input
pins. A selection between the Schmitt Trigger CMOS or
the TTL Compatible thresholds is available. The input
threshold is important in determining the value of a read
of the PORTA register and also the level at which an
interrupt-on-change occurs, if that feature is enabled.
See Table 34-4 for more information on threshold
levels.
Note:
DIRECTION CONTROL
The TRISA register (Register 11-2) controls the
PORTA pin output drivers, even when they are being
used as analog inputs. The user should ensure the bits
in the TRISA register are maintained set when using
them as analog inputs. I/O pins configured as analog
inputs always read ‘0’.
 2015 Microchip Technology Inc.
INPUT THRESHOLD CONTROL
Preliminary
Changing the input threshold selection
should be performed while all peripheral
modules are disabled. Changing the
threshold level during the time a module is
active may inadvertently generate a
transition associated with an input pin,
regardless of the actual voltage level on
that pin.
DS40001800A-page 137
PIC16(L)F18324/18344
11.2.6
ANALOG CONTROL
The ANSELA register (Register 11-4) is used to
configure the Input mode of an I/O pin to analog.
Setting the appropriate ANSELA bit high will cause all
digital reads on the pin to be read as ‘0’ and allow
analog functions on the pin to operate correctly.
The state of the ANSELA bits has no effect on digital
output functions. A pin with TRIS clear and ANSEL set
will still operate as a digital output, but the Input mode
will be analog. This can cause unexpected behavior
when executing read-modify-write instructions on the
affected port.
Note:
11.2.7
The ANSELA bits default to the Analog
mode after Reset. To use any pins as
digital general purpose or peripheral
inputs, the corresponding ANSEL bits
must be initialized to ‘0’ by user software.
WEAK PULL-UP CONTROL
The WPUA register (Register 11-5) controls the
individual weak pull-ups for each port pin.
PORTA pin RA3 includes the MCLR/VPP input. The
MCLR input allows the device to be reset, and can be
disabled by the MCLRE bit of Configuration Word 2. A
weak pull-up is present on the RA3 port pin. This weak
pull-up is enabled when MCLR is enabled (MCLRE = 1)
or the WPUA3 bit is set. The weak pull-up is disabled
when is disabled and the WPUA3 bit is clear.
11.2.8
PORTA FUNCTIONS AND OUTPUT
PRIORITIES
Each PORTA pin is multiplexed with other functions.
Each pin defaults to the PORT latch data after Reset.
Other output functions are selected with the peripheral
pin select logic. See Section 12.0 “Peripheral Pin
Select (PPS) Module” for more information.
Analog input functions, such as ADC and comparator
inputs are not shown in the peripheral pin select lists.
Digital output functions may continue to control the pin
when it is in Analog mode.

available in the PIC16(L)F18344 devices. The
corresponding data direction register is TRISB
(Register 11-10). 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., enable the
output driver and put the contents of the output latch on
the selected pin). Example 11-1 shows how to initialize
an I/O port.
Reading the PORTB register (Register 11-9) reads the
status of the pins, whereas writing to it will write to the
PORT latch. All write operations are read-modify-write
operations. Therefore, a write to a port implies that the
port pins are read; this value is modified and then
written to the PORT data latch (LATB).
The PORT data latch LATB (Register 11-11) holds the
output port data, and contains the latest value of a
LATB or PORTB write.
11.4.2
DIRECTION CONTROL
The TRISB register (Register 11-10) controls the
PORTB pin output drivers, even when they are being
used as analog inputs. The user should ensure the bits
in the TRISB register are maintained set when using
them as analog inputs. I/O pins configured as analog
inputs always read ‘0’.
11.4.3
INPUT THRESHOLD CONTROL
The INLVLB register (Register 11-16) controls the input
voltage threshold for each of the available PORTB
input pins. A selection between the Schmitt Trigger
CMOS or the TTL Compatible thresholds is available.
The input threshold is important in determining the
value of a read of the PORTB register and also the level
at which an interrupt-on-change occurs, if that feature
is enabled. See Table 34-4 for more information on
threshold levels.
Note:
Changing the input threshold selection
should be performed while all peripheral
modules are disabled. Changing the
threshold level during the time a module is
active may inadvertently generate a
transition associated with an input pin,
regardless of the actual voltage level on
that pin.
11.4.4
OPEN-DRAIN CONTROL
The ODCONB register (Register 11-14) controls the
open-drain feature of the port. Open-drain operation is
independently selected for each pin. When an
ODCONB bit is set, the corresponding port output
becomes an open-drain driver capable of sinking
current only. When an ODCONB bit is cleared, the
corresponding port output pin is the standard push-pull
drive capable of sourcing and sinking current.
Note:
11.4.5
It is not necessary to set open-drain
control when using the pin for I2C™; the
I2C module controls the pin and makes
the pin open-drain.
SLEW RATE CONTROL
The SLRCONB register (Register 11-15) controls the
slew rate option for each port pin. Slew rate control is
independently selectable for each port pin. When an
SLRCONB bit is set, the corresponding port pin drive is
slew rate limited. When an SLRCONB bit is cleared,
the corresponding port pin drive slews at the maximum
rate possible.
11.4.6
ANALOG CONTROL
The ANSELB register (Register 11-12) is used to
configure the Input mode of an I/O pin to analog.
Setting the appropriate ANSELB bit high will cause all
digital reads on the pin to be read as ‘0’ and allow
analog functions on the pin to operate correctly.
The state of the ANSELB bits has no effect on digital
output functions. A pin with TRIS clear and ANSELB
set will still operate as a digital output, but the Input
mode will be analog. This can cause unexpected
behavior
when
executing
read-modify-write
instructions on the affected port.
Note:
11.4.7
The ANSELB bits default to the Analog
mode after Reset. To use any pins as
digital general purpose or peripheral
inputs, the corresponding ANSEL bits
must be initialized to ‘0’ by user software.
WEAK PULL-UP CONTROL
The WPUB register (Register 11-13) controls the
individual weak pull-ups for each port pin.
11.4.8
PORTB FUNCTIONS AND OUTPUT
PRIORITIES
Each pin defaults to the PORT latch data after Reset.
Other output functions are selected with the peripheral
pin select logic. See Section 12.0 “Peripheral Pin
Select (PPS) Module” for more information.
Analog input functions, such as ADC and comparator
inputs, are not shown in the peripheral pin select lists.
Digital output functions may continue to control the pin
when it is in Analog mode.

PORTC Registers
DATA REGISTER
PORTC is a bidirectional port that is either 6-bit wide
(PIC16(L)F18324) or 8-bit wide (PIC16(L)F18344). The
corresponding data direction register is TRISC
(Register 11-18). 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., enable the output driver and
put the contents of the output latch on the selected pin).
Example 11-1 shows how to initialize an I/O port.
Reading the PORTC register (Register 11-17) reads the
status of the pins, whereas writing to it will write to the
PORT latch. All write operations are read-modify-write
operations. Therefore, a write to a port implies that the
port pins are read, this value is modified and then written
to the PORT data latch (LATC).
OPEN-DRAIN CONTROL
The ODCONC register (Register 11-22) controls the
open-drain feature of the port. Open-drain operation is
independently selected for each pin. When an
ODCONC bit is set, the corresponding port output
becomes an open-drain driver capable of sinking
current only. When an ODCONC bit is cleared, the
corresponding port output pin is the standard push-pull
drive capable of sourcing and sinking current.
Note:
11.6.5
It is not necessary to set open-drain
control when using the pin for I2C™; the
I2C module controls the pin and makes
the pin open-drain.
SLEW RATE CONTROL
The PORT data latch LATC (Register 11-19) holds the
output port data, and contains the latest value of a LATC
or PORTC write.
The SLRCONC register (Register 11-23) controls the
slew rate option for each port pin. Slew rate control is
independently selectable for each port pin. When an
SLRCONC bit is set, the corresponding port pin drive is
slew rate limited. When an SLRCONC bit is cleared,
The corresponding port pin drive slews at the maximum
rate possible.
11.6.2
11.6.6
DIRECTION CONTROL
The TRISC register (Register 11-18) controls the
PORTC pin output drivers, even when they are being
used as analog inputs. The user should ensure the bits in
the TRISC register are maintained set when using them
as analog inputs. I/O pins configured as analog inputs
always read ‘0’.
11.6.3
INPUT THRESHOLD CONTROL
The INLVLC register (Register 11-24) controls the input
voltage threshold for each of the available PORTC
input pins. A selection between the Schmitt Trigger
CMOS or the TTL Compatible thresholds is available.
The input threshold is important in determining the
value of a read of the PORTC register and also the
level at which an interrupt-on-change occurs, if that
feature is enabled. See Table 34-4 for more information
on threshold levels.
Note:
Changing the input threshold selection
should be performed while all peripheral
modules are disabled. Changing the
threshold level during the time a module is
active may inadvertently generate a
transition associated with an input pin,
regardless of the actual voltage level on
that pin.
ANALOG CONTROL
The ANSELC register (Register 11-20) is used to
configure the Input mode of an I/O pin to analog.
Setting the appropriate ANSELC bit high will cause all
digital reads on the pin to be read as ‘0’ and allow
analog functions on the pin to operate correctly.
The state of the ANSELC bits has no effect on digital output functions. A pin with TRIS clear and ANSELC set will
still operate as a digital output, but the Input mode will be
analog. This can cause unexpected behavior when executing read-modify-write instructions on the affected
port.
Note:
11.6.7
The ANSELC bits default to the Analog
mode after Reset. To use any pins as
digital general purpose or peripheral
inputs, the corresponding ANSEL bits
must be initialized to ‘0’ by user software.
WEAK PULL-UP CONTROL
The WPUC register (Register 11-21) controls the
individual weak pull-ups for each port pin.
11.6.8
PORTC FUNCTIONS AND OUTPUT
PRIORITIES
Each pin defaults to the PORT latch data after Reset.
Other functions are selected with the peripheral pin
select logic. See Section 12.0 “Peripheral Pin Select
(PPS) Module” for more information.
Analog output functions, such as ADC and comparator
inputs, are not shown in the peripheral pin select lists.
Digital output functions may continue to control the pin
when it is in Analog mode.

PERIPHERAL PIN SELECT
(PPS) MODULE
12.2
The Peripheral Pin Select (PPS) module connects
peripheral inputs and outputs to the device I/O pins.
Only digital signals are included in the selections. All
analog inputs and outputs remain fixed to their
assigned pins. Input and output selections are
independent as shown in the simplified block diagram
Figure 12-1.
12.1
PPS Inputs
Each peripheral has a PPS register with which the
inputs to the peripheral are selected. Inputs include the
device pins.
Each I/O pin has a PPS register with which the pin
output source is selected. With few exceptions, the port
TRIS control associated with that pin retains control
over the pin output driver. Peripherals that control the
pin output driver as part of the peripheral operation will
override the TRIS control as needed. These
peripherals include:
• EUSART (synchronous operation)
• MSSP (I2C)
Although every pin has its own PPS peripheral
selection register, the selections are identical for every
pin as shown in Register 12-2.
Note:
Although every peripheral has its own PPS input selection register, the selections are identical for every
peripheral as shown in Register 12-1.
Note:
PPS Outputs
The notation “Rxy” is a place holder for the
pin identifier. For example, RA0PPS.
The notation “xxx” in the register name is
a place holder for the peripheral identifier.
For example, CLC1PPS.

12.3
Bidirectional Pins
12.5
PPS selections for peripherals with bidirectional
signals on a single pin must be made so that the PPS
input and PPS output select the same pin. Peripherals
that have bidirectional signals include:
• EUSART (synchronous operation)
• MSSP (I2C)
Note:
12.4
The I2C™ default input pins are I2C and
SMBus compatible and are the only pins
on the PIC16(L)F18324 with this
compatibility. For the PIC16(L)F18344, in
addition to the default pins as described
above, RC0, RC1, RC4, and RC5 are also
I2C and SMBus compatible. Clock and
data signals can be routed to any pin,
however pins without I2C compatibility will
operate at standard TTL/ST logic levels as
selected by the INVLV register.
PPS Lock
PPS Permanent Lock
The PPS can be permanently locked by setting the
PPS1WAY Configuration bit. When this bit is set, the
PPSLOCKED bit can only be cleared and set one time
after a device Reset. This allows for clearing the
PPSLOCKED bit so that the input and output selections
can be made during initialization. When the
PPSLOCKED bit is set after all selections have been
made, it will remain set and cannot be cleared until
after the next device Reset event.
12.6
Operation During Sleep
PPS input and output selections are unaffected by
Sleep.
12.7
Effects of a Reset
A device Power-On-Reset (POR) clears all PPS input
and output selections to their default values. All other
Resets leave the selections unchanged. Default input
selections are shown in pin allocation Table 1 and
Table 2.
The PPS includes a mode in which all input and output
selections can be locked to prevent inadvertent
changes. PPS selections are locked by setting the
PPSLOCKED bit of the PPSLOCK register. Setting and
clearing this bit requires a special sequence as an extra
precaution against inadvertent changes. Examples of
setting and clearing the PPSLOCKED bit are shown in
Example 12-1.

PERIPHERAL MODULE
DISABLE
13.2
When the register bit is cleared, the module is reenabled and will be in its Reset state; SFR data will
reflect the POR Reset values.
The PIC16(L)F18324/18344 provides the ability to
disable selected modules, placing them into the lowest
possible power mode.
Depending on the module, it may take up to one full
instruction cycle for the module to become active.
There should be no interaction with the module
(e.g., writing to registers) for at least one instruction
after it has been re-enabled.
For legacy reasons, all modules are ON by default
following any Reset.
13.1
Enabling a Module
Disabling a Module
Disabling a module has the following effects:
13.3
• All clock and control inputs to the module are
suspended; there are no logic transitions, and the
module will not function.
• The module is held in Reset.
• Any SFRs become “unimplemented”
- Writing is disabled
- Reading returns 00h
• Module outputs are disabled; I/O goes to the next
module according to pin priority
When a module is disabled, any and all associated
input selection registers (ISMs) are also disabled.

Disabling a Module
System Clock Disable
Setting SYSCMD (PMD0, Register 13-1) disables the
system clock (FOSC) distribution network to the
peripherals. Not all peripherals make use of SYSCLK,
so not all peripherals are affected. Refer to the specific
peripheral description to see if it will be affected by this

INTERRUPT-ON-CHANGE
14.3
All pins on all ports can be configured to operate as
Interrupt-On-Change (IOC) pins. An interrupt can be
generated by detecting a signal that has either a rising
edge or a falling edge. Any individual pin, or combination
of pins, can be configured to generate an interrupt. The
interrupt-on-change module has the following features:
•
•
•
•
Interrupt-on-Change enable (Master Switch)
Individual pin configuration
Rising and falling edge detection
Individual pin interrupt flags
The bits located in the IOCxF registers are status flags
that correspond to the interrupt-on-change pins of each
port. If an expected edge is detected on an appropriately
enabled pin, then the status flag for that pin will be set,
and an interrupt will be generated if the IOCIE bit is set.
The IOCIF bit of the PIR0 register reflects the status of
all IOCxF bits.
14.4
Clearing Interrupt Flags
The individual status flags, (IOCxF register bits), can be
cleared by resetting them to zero. If another edge is
detected during this clearing operation, the associated
status flag will be set at the end of the sequence,
regardless of the value actually being written.
Figure 14-1 is a block diagram of the IOC module.
14.1
Interrupt Flags
Enabling the Module
To allow individual pins to generate an interrupt, the
IOCIE bit of the PIE0 register must be set. If the IOCIE
bit is disabled, the edge detection on the pin will still
occur, but an interrupt will not be generated.
In order to ensure that no detected edge is lost while
clearing flags, only AND operations masking out known
changed bits should be performed. The following
sequence is an example of what should be performed.
14.2
Individual Pin Configuration
EXAMPLE 14-1:
For each pin, a rising edge detector and a falling edge
detector are present. To enable a pin to detect a rising
edge, the associated bit of the IOCxP register is set. To
enable a pin to detect a falling edge, the associated bit
of the IOCxN register is set.
MOVLW
XORWF
ANDWF
A pin can be configured to detect rising and falling
edges simultaneously by setting the associated bits in
both of the IOCxP and IOCxN registers.
14.5
CLEARING INTERRUPT
FLAGS
(PORTA EXAMPLE)
0xff
IOCAF, W
IOCAF, F
Operation in Sleep
The interrupt-on-change interrupt sequence will wake
the device from Sleep mode, if the IOCIE bit is set.
If an edge is detected while in Sleep mode, the affected
IOCxF register will be updated prior to the first instruction
executed out of Sleep.

FIXED VOLTAGE REFERENCE
(FVR)
15.1
The output of the FVR, which is supplied to the ADC,
Comparators and DAC, is routed through two
independent programmable gain amplifiers. Each
amplifier can be programmed for a gain of 1x, 2x or 4x,
to produce the three possible voltage levels.
The Fixed Voltage Reference, or FVR, is a stable
voltage reference, independent of VDD, with 1.024V,
2.048V or 4.096V selectable output levels. The output
of the FVR can be configured to supply a reference
voltage to the following:
•
•
•
•
The ADFVR<1:0> bits of the FVRCON register are
used to enable and configure the gain amplifier settings
for the reference supplied to the ADC module.
Reference Section 21.0 “Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) Module” for additional information.
ADC input channel
ADC positive reference
Comparator positive input
Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC)
The CDAFVR<1:0> bits of the FVRCON register are
used to enable and configure the gain amplifier settings
for the reference supplied to the DAC and comparator
module. Reference Section 23.0 “5-Bit Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC1) Module” and
Section 17.0 “Comparator Module” for additional
information.
The FVR can be enabled by setting the FVREN bit of
the FVRCON register.
Note:
Independent Gain Amplifiers
Fixed Voltage Reference output cannot
exceed VDD.
15.2
FVR Stabilization Period
When the Fixed Voltage Reference module is enabled, it
requires time for the reference and amplifier circuits to
stabilize. Once the circuits stabilize and are ready for use,
the FVRRDY bit of the FVRCON register will be set.

TEMPERATURE INDICATOR
MODULE
FIGURE 16-1:
This family of devices is equipped with a temperature
circuit designed to measure the operating temperature
of the silicon die. The circuit’s range of operating
temperature falls between -40°C and +85°C. The
output is a voltage that is proportional to the device
temperature. The output of the temperature indicator is
internally connected to the device ADC.
VDD
TSEN
TSRNG
The circuit may be used as a temperature threshold
detector or a more accurate temperature indicator,
depending on the level of calibration performed. A onepoint calibration allows the circuit to indicate a
temperature closely surrounding that point. A two-point
calibration allows the circuit to sense the entire range
of temperature more accurately. Reference Application
Note AN1333, “Use and Calibration of the Internal
Temperature Indicator” (DS01333) for more details
regarding the calibration process.

Minimum Operating VDD
When the temperature circuit is operated in low range,
the device may be operated at any operating voltage
that is within specifications.
When the temperature circuit is operated in high range,
the device operating voltage, VDD, must be high
enough to ensure that the temperature circuit is
correctly biased.
Table 16-1 shows the recommended minimum VDD vs.
range setting.
High Range: VOUT = VDD - 4VT
TABLE 16-1:
Low Range: VOUT = VDD - 2VT
The temperature sense circuit is integrated with the
Fixed Voltage Reference (FVR) module. See
Section 15.0 “Fixed Voltage Reference (FVR)” for
more information.
The circuit is enabled by setting the TSEN bit of the
FVRCON register. When disabled, the circuit draws no
current.
The circuit operates in either high or low range. The high
range, selected by setting the TSRNG bit of the
FVRCON register, provides a wider output voltage. This
provides more resolution over the temperature range,
but may be less consistent from part to part. This range
requires a higher bias voltage to operate and thus, a
higher VDD is needed.

Temperature Output
The output of the circuit is measured using the internal
Analog-to-Digital Converter. A channel is reserved for
the temperature circuit output. Refer to Section 21.0
“Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) Module” for
detailed information.
The low range is selected by clearing the TSRNG bit of
the FVRCON register. The low range generates a lower
voltage drop and thus, a lower bias voltage is needed to
operate the circuit. The low range is provided for low
voltage operation.

ADC Acquisition Time
To ensure accurate temperature measurements, the
user must wait at least 200 s after the ADC input
multiplexer is connected to the temperature indicator
output before the conversion is performed. In addition,
the user must wait 200 s between consecutive
conversions of the temperature indicator output.

COMPARATOR MODULE
Comparators are used to interface analog circuits to a
digital circuit by comparing two analog voltages and
providing a digital indication of their relative magnitudes.
Comparators are very useful mixed signal building
blocks because they provide analog functionality
independent of program execution. The analog
comparator module includes the following features:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Programmable input selection
Programmable output polarity
Rising/falling output edge interrupts
Wake-up from Sleep
Programmable Speed/Power optimization
CWG Auto-shutdown source
Selectable voltage reference
17.1
Comparator Overview
A single comparator is shown in Figure 17-1 along with
the relationship between the analog input levels and
the digital output. When the analog voltage at VIN+ is
less than the analog voltage at VIN-, the output of the
comparator is a digital low level. When the analog
voltage at VIN+ is greater than the analog voltage at
VIN-, the output of the comparator is a digital high level.
The comparators available for this device are located in
Table 17-1.

Comparator Control
Each comparator has two control registers: CMxCON0
and CMxCON1.
The CMxCON0 register (see Register 17-1) contains
Control and Status bits for the following:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Enable
Output
Output polarity
Speed/Power selection
Hysteresis enable
Timer1 output synchronization
Inverting the output of the comparator is functionally
equivalent to swapping the comparator inputs. The
polarity of the comparator output can be inverted by
setting the CxPOL bit of the CMxCON0 register.
Clearing the CxPOL bit results in a non-inverted output.
Table 17-2 shows the output state versus input
conditions, including polarity control.

17.3
Setting the CxON bit of the CMxCON0 register enables
the comparator for operation. Clearing the CxON bit
disables the comparator resulting in minimum current
consumption.
17.2.2
COMPARATOR OUTPUT
The output of the comparator can be monitored by
reading either the CxOUT bit of the CMxCON0 register
or the MCxOUT bit of the CMOUT register.
The comparator output can also be routed to an
external pin through the RxyPPS register
(Register 12-2). The corresponding TRIS bit must be
clear to enable the pin as an output.
Note 1: The internal output of the comparator is
latched with each instruction cycle.
Unless otherwise specified, external outputs are not latched.
COMPARATOR OUTPUT
STATE VS. INPUT
CONDITIONS
Input Condition
The CMxCON1 register (see Register 17-2) contains
Control bits for the following:
17.2.1
COMPARATOR OUTPUT POLARITY
Comparator Hysteresis
A selectable amount of separation voltage can be
added to the input pins of each comparator to provide a
hysteresis function to the overall operation. Hysteresis
is enabled by setting the CxHYS bit of the CMxCON0
register.
See Comparator Specifications in Table 34-14 for more
information.
17.4
Timer1 Gate Operation
The output resulting from a comparator operation can
be used as a source for gate control of Timer1. See
Section 26.6 “Timer1 Gate” for more information.
This feature is useful for timing the duration or interval
of an analog event.
It is recommended that the comparator output be
synchronized to Timer1. This ensures that Timer1 does
not increment while a change in the comparator is
occurring.
17.4.1
COMPARATOR OUTPUT
SYNCHRONIZATION
The output from a comparator can be synchronized
with Timer1 by setting the CxSYNC bit of the
CMxCON0 register.
Once enabled, the comparator output is latched on the
falling edge of the Timer1 source clock. If a prescaler is
used with Timer1, the comparator output is latched after
the prescaling function. To prevent a race condition, the
comparator output is latched on the falling edge of the
Timer1 clock source and Timer1 increments on the
rising edge of its clock source. See the Comparator
Block Diagram (Figure 17-2) and the Timer1 Block
Diagram (Figure 26-1) for more information.

17.5
Comparator Interrupt
17.7
An interrupt can be generated upon a change in the
output value of the comparator for each comparator, a
rising edge detector and a falling edge detector are
present.
When either edge detector is triggered and its associated enable bit is set (CxINTP and/or CxINTN bits of
the CMxCON1 register), the Corresponding Interrupt
Flag bit (CxIF bit of the PIR2 register) will be set.
To enable the interrupt, you must set the following bits:
• CxON, CxPOL and CxSP bits of the CMxCON0
register
• CxIE bit of the PIE2 register
• CxINTP bit of the CMxCON1 register (for a rising
edge detection)
• CxINTN bit of the CMxCON1 register (for a falling
edge detection)
• PEIE and GIE bits of the INTCON register
The associated interrupt flag bit, CxIF bit of the PIR2
register, must be cleared in software. If another edge is
detected while this flag is being cleared, the flag will still
be set at the end of the sequence.
Note:
17.6
Although a comparator is disabled, an
interrupt can be generated by changing
the output polarity with the CxPOL bit of
the CMxCON0 register, or by switching
the comparator on or off with the CxON bit
of the CMxCON0 register.
Comparator Positive Input
Selection
Comparator Negative Input
Selection
The CxNCH<2:0> bits of the CMxCON1 register direct
an analog input pin and internal reference voltage or
analog ground to the inverting input of the comparator:
• CxIN- pin
• FVR (Fixed Voltage Reference)
• Analog Ground
Some inverting input selections share a pin with the
operational amplifier output function. Enabling both
functions at the same time will direct the operational
amplifier output to the comparator inverting input.
Note:
17.8
To use CxINy+ and CxINy- pins as analog
input, the appropriate bits must be set in
the ANSEL register and the corresponding TRIS bits must also be set to disable
the output drivers.
Comparator Response Time
The comparator output is indeterminate for a period of
time after the change of an input source or the selection
of a new reference voltage. This period is referred to as
the response time. 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 time to a comparator
input change. See the Comparator and Voltage
Reference Specifications in Table 34-14 for more
details.
Configuring the CxPCH<2:0> bits of the CMxCON1
register directs an internal voltage reference or an
analog pin to the non-inverting input of the comparator:

input signal.
Any time the comparator is disabled (CxON = 0), all
comparator inputs are disabled.

Analog Input Connection
Considerations
A simplified circuit for an analog input is shown in
Figure 17-3. Since the analog input pins share their
connection with a digital input, they have reverse
biased ESD protection 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 may occur.
Note 1: When reading a PORT register, all pins
configured as analog inputs will read as a
‘0’. Pins configured as digital inputs will
convert as an analog input, according to
the input specification.
2: Analog levels on any pin defined as a
digital input, may cause the input buffer to
consume more current than is specified.
A maximum source impedance of 10 k is recommended
for the analog sources. Also, any external component
connected to an analog input pin, such as a capacitor or
a Zener diode, should have very little leakage current to
minimize inaccuracies introduced.

17.10 CWG Auto-shutdown Source
The output of the comparator module can be used as
an auto-shutdown source for the CWG module. When
the output of the comparator is active and the
corresponding ASxE is enabled, the CWG operation
will be suspended immediately (Section 19.7.1.2
“External Input Source Shutdown”).
17.11 Operation in Sleep Mode
The comparator module can operate during Sleep. The
comparator clock source is based on the Timer1 clock
source. If the Timer1 clock source is either the system
clock (FOSC) or the instruction clock (FOSC/4), Timer1
will not operate during Sleep, and synchronized
comparator outputs will not operate.
A comparator interrupt will wake the device from Sleep.
The CxIE bits of the PIE2 register must be set to enable
comparator interrupts.

PULSE-WIDTH MODULATION
(PWM)
The PWMx modules generate Pulse-Width Modulated
(PWM) signals of varying frequency and duty cycle.
In
addition
to
the
CCP
modules,
the
PIC16(L)F18324/18344 devices contain two PWM
modules. These modules are essentially the same as
the CCP modules without the Capture or Compare
functionality.
Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) is a scheme that
provides power to a load by switching quickly between
fully on and fully off states. The PWM signal resembles
a square wave where the high portion of the signal is
considered the ‘on’ state (pulse width), and the low
portion of the signal is considered the ‘off’ state. The
term duty cycle describes the proportion of the ‘on’ time
to the ‘off’ time and is expressed in percentages, where
0% is fully off and 100% is fully on. A lower duty cycle
corresponds to less power applied and a higher duty
cycle corresponds to more power applied. The PWM
period is defined as the duration of one complete cycle
or the total amount of on and off time combined.
PWM resolution defines the maximum number of steps
that can be present in a single PWM period. A higher
resolution allows for more precise control of the
pulse-width time and in turn the power that is applied to
the load.
18.1
The standard PWM mode generates a Pulse-Width
Modulation (PWM) signal on the PWMx pin with up to
ten bits of resolution. The period, duty cycle, and
resolution are controlled by the following registers:
•
•
•
•
•
TMR2, TMR4 or TMR6 registers
PR2, PR4 or PR6 registers
PWMxCON registers
PWMxDCH registers
PWMxDCL registers
Figure 28-2, "Compare Mode Operation Block Diagram" shows a simplified block diagram of the PWM
operation.
If PWMPOL = 0, the default state of the output is ‘0‘. If
PWMPOL = 1, the default state is ‘1’. If PWMEN = ‘0’,
the output will be the default state.
Note:
The corresponding TRIS bit must be
cleared to enable the PWM output on the
PWMx pin
Note:
The formulas and text refer to TMR2 and
PR2, for simplicity. The same formulas
and text apply to TMR4/6 and PR4/6. The
timer sources can be selected in
Register 18-4. For additional information

PWM PERIOD
18.1.2
Referring to Figure 18-1, the PWM output has a period
and a pulse width. The frequency of the PWM is the
inverse of the period (1/period).
The PWM period is specified by writing to the PR2
register. The PWM period can be calculated using the
following formula:
EQUATION 18-1:
PWM PERIOD
The PWM duty cycle is specified by writing a 10-bit
value to the PWMxDC register. The PWMxDCH
contains the eight MSbs and bits <7:6> of the
PWMxDCL register contain the two LSbs.
The PWMDC register is double-buffered and can be
updated at any time. This double buffering is essential
for glitch-free PWM operation. New values take effect
when TMR2 = PR2. Note that PWMDC is left-justified.
The 8-bit timer TMR2 register is concatenated with
either the 2-bit internal system clock (FOSC), or two
bits of the prescaler, to create the 10-bit time base. The
system clock is used if the Timer2 prescaler is set to
1:1.
PWM Period =   PR2  + 1   4  T OSC 
(TMR2 Prescale Value)
Note:
PWM DUTY CYCLE
TOSC = 1/FOSC
When TMR2 is equal to PR2, the following three events
occur on the next increment cycle:
Equation 18-2 is used to calculate the PWM pulse
width.
• TMR2 is cleared
• The PWMx pin is set (Exception: If the PWM duty
cycle = 0%, the pin will not be set.)
• The PWM pulse width is latched from PWMxDC.
Equation 18-3 is used to calculate the PWM duty cycle
ratio.

18.1.3
PWM RESOLUTION
18.1.7
The resolution determines the number of available duty
cycles for a given period. For example, a 10-bit
resolution will result in 1024 discrete duty cycles,
whereas an 8-bit resolution will result in 256 discrete
duty cycles.
The maximum PWM resolution is ten bits when PR2 is
255. The resolution is a function of the PR2 register
value as shown by Equation 18-4.
EQUATION 18-4:
log  4  PR2 + 1  
Resolution = ----------------------------------------- bits
log  2 
Note:
18.1.4
If the pulse-width value is greater than the
period the assigned PWM pin(s) will
remain unchanged.
OPERATION IN SLEEP MODE
In Sleep mode, the TMR2 register will not increment
and the state of the module will not change. If the
PWMx pin is driving a value, it will continue to drive that
value. When the device wakes up, TMR2 will continue
from its previous state.
18.1.5
CHANGES IN SYSTEM CLOCK
FREQUENCY
The PWM frequency is derived from the system clock
frequency. Any changes in the system clock frequency
will result in changes to the PWM frequency. See
Section 6.0, Oscillator Module (with Fail-Safe Clock
Monitor) for additional details.
18.1.6
SETUP FOR PWM OPERATION
The following steps should be taken when configuring
the module for using the PWMx outputs:
1. Disable the PWMx pin output driver(s) by setting
the associated TRIS bit(s).
2. Configure the PWM output polarity by
configuring the PWMxPOL bit of the PWMxCON
register.
3. Load the PR2 register with the PWM period
value, as determined by Equation 18-1.
4. Load the PWMxDCH register and bits <7:6> of
the PWMxDCL register with the PWM duty cycle
value, as determined by Equation 18-2.
5. Configure and start Timer2:
• Clear the TMR2IF interrupt flag bit of the
PIR1 register.
• Select the Timer2 prescale value by
configuring the T2CKPS bit of the T2CON
register.
• Enable Timer2 by setting the TMR2ON bit of
the T2CON register.
6. Wait until the TMR2IF is set.
7. When the TMR2IF flag bit is set:
• Clear the associated TRIS bit(s) to enable
the output driver.
• Route the signal to the desired pin by
configuring the RxyPPS register.
• Enable the PWMx module by setting the
PWMxEN bit of the PWMxCON register.
In order to send a complete duty cycle and period on
the first PWM output, the above steps must be followed
in the order given. If it is not critical to start with a
complete PWM signal, then the PWM module can be
enabled during Step 2 by setting the PWMxEN bit of
the PWMxCON register.
EFFECTS OF RESET
Any Reset will force all ports to Input mode and the
PWMx registers to their Reset states.

COMPLEMENTARY WAVEFORM
GENERATOR (CWG) MODULE
The Complementary Waveform Generator (CWGx)
produces complementary waveforms with dead-band
delay from a selection of input sources.
The CWGx module has the following features:
•
•
•
•
•
Selectable dead-band clock source control
Selectable input sources
Output enable control
Output polarity control
Dead-band control with independent 6-bit rising
and falling edge dead-band counters
• Auto-shutdown control with:
- Selectable shutdown sources
- Auto-restart enable
- Auto-shutdown pin override control
19.2
The CWGx module can operate in six different modes,
as specified by the MODE<2:0> bits of the
CWGxCON0 register:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Half-Bridge mode
Push-Pull mode
Asynchronous Steering mode
Synchronous Steering mode
Full-Bridge mode, Forward
Full-Bridge mode, Reverse
All modes accept a single pulse data input, and
provide up to four outputs as described in the following
sections.
All modes include auto-shutdown control as described
in Section 19.11 “Register Definitions: CWG
Control”
Note:
19.1
Fundamental Operation
The CWG generates two output waveforms from the
selected input source.
The off-to-on transition of each output can be delayed
from the on-to-off transition of the other output, thereby,
creating a time delay immediately where neither output
is driven. This is referred to as dead time and is covered
in Section 19.6 “Dead-Band Control”.
It may be necessary to guard against the possibility of
circuit faults or a feedback event arriving too late or not
at all. In this case, the active drive must be terminated
before the Fault condition causes damage. This is
referred to as auto-shutdown and is covered in
Section 19.7 “Auto-Shutdown Control”.
FIGURE 19-1:
Operating Modes
19.2.1
Except as noted for Full-bridge mode
(Section 19.2.4 “Full-Bridge Modes”),
mode changes should only be performed
while EN = 0 (Register 19-1).
HALF-BRIDGE MODE
In Half-Bridge mode, two output signals are generated
as true and inverted versions of the input as illustrated
in Figure 19-1. A non-overlap (dead-band) time is
inserted between the two outputs to prevent shoot
through current in various power supply applications.
Dead-band control is described in Section 19.6
“Dead-Band Control”. Steering modes are not used
in Half-Bridge mode.
The unused outputs, CWGxC and CWGxD, drive
similar signals, with polarity independently controlled
by POLC and POLD respectively.

PUSH-PULL MODE
In Push-Pull mode, two output signals are generated,
alternating copies of the input as illustrated in
Figure 19-2. This alternation creates the push-pull
effect required for driving some transformer based
power supply designs. Dead-band control is not used in
Push-Pull mode. Steering modes are not used in
Push-Pull mode.
The push-pull sequencer is reset whenever EN = 0 or
if an auto-shutdown event occurs. The sequencer is
clocked by the first input pulse, and the first output
appears on CWGxA.
The unused outputs CWGxC and CWGxD drive copies
of CWGxA and CWGxB, respectively, but with polarity
controlled by POLC and POLD.

STEERING MODES
In both Synchronous and Asynchronous Steering
modes, the modulated input signal can be steered to
any combination of four CWG outputs and a fixed-value
will be presented on all the outputs not used for the
PWM output. Each output has independent polarity,
steering, and shutdown options. Dead-band control is
not used in either Steering mode.
When STRy = 0 (Register 19-5), the corresponding pin
is held at the level defined by SDATy (Register 19-5).
When STRy = 1, the pin is driven by the modulated
input signal.
The POLy bits (Register 19-2) control the signal
polarity only when STRy = 1.
The CWG auto-shutdown operation also applies to
Steering modes as described in Section 19.11
“Register Definitions: CWG Control”.
Note:
Only the WGSTRy bits are synchronized;
the WGSDATy (data) bits are not
synchronized.

Synchronous Steering Mode
In Synchronous Steering mode (MODE<2:0> bits
= 001, Register 19-1), changes to steering selection
registers take effect on the next rising edge of the
modulated data input (Figure 19-3). In Synchronous
Steering mode, the output will always produce a
complete waveform.

19.2.3.2
Asynchronous Steering Mode
In Asynchronous mode (MODE<2:0> bits = 000,
Register 19-1), steering takes effect at the end of the
instruction cycle that writes to WGxSTR. In
Asynchronous Steering mode, the output signal may
be an incomplete waveform (Register 19-4). This
operation may be useful when the user firmware needs
to immediately remove a signal from the output pin.

Start-up Considerations
The application hardware must use the proper external
pull-up and/or pull-down resistors on the CWG output
pins. This is required because all I/O pins are forced to
high-impedance at Reset.
The POLy bits (Register 19-2) allow the user to choose
whether the output signals are active-high or activelow.

FULL-BRIDGE MODES
In Forward and Reverse Full-Bridge modes, three outputs drive static values while the fourth is modulated by
the data input. Dead-band control is described in
Section 19.2.3 “Steering Modes” and Section 19.6
“Dead-Band Control”. Steering modes are not used
with either of the full-bridge modes.
The mode selection may be toggled between forward
and reverse (changing MODE<2:0>) without clearing
EN.
When connected as shown in Figure 19-5, the outputs
are appropriate for a full-bridge motor driver. Each
CWG output signal has independent polarity control, so
the circuit can be adapted to high-active and low-active
drivers.

Direction Change in Full-Bridge
Mode
In Full-Bridge mode, changing MODE<2:0> controls
the forward/reverse direction. Changes to MODE<2:0>
change to the new direction on the next rising edge of
the modulated input.
A direction change is initiated in software by changing
the MODE<2:0> bits of the WGxCON0 register. The
sequence is illustrated in Figure 19-7.
 2015 Microchip Technology Inc.
• The associated active output CWGxA and the
inactive output CWGxC are switched to drive in
the opposite direction.
• The previously modulated output CWGxD is
switched to the inactive state, and the previously
inactive output CWGxB begins to modulate.
• CWG modulation resumes after the
direction-switch dead band has elapsed.

the power device and driver circuit, is greater
than the turn-on time.
The dead-band delay is inserted only when changing
directions, and only the modulated output is affected.
The statically-configured outputs (CWGxA and
CWGxC) are not afforded dead band, and switch
essentially simultaneously.
FIGURE 19-7:
Figure 19-7 shows an example of the CWG outputs
changing directions from forward to reverse, at near
100% duty cycle. In this example, at time t1, the output
of CWGxA and CWGxD become inactive, while output
CWGxC becomes active. Since the turn-off time of the
power devices is longer than the turn-on time, a shootthrough current will flow through power devices QC and
QD for the duration of ‘t’. The same phenomenon will
occur to power devices QA and QB for the CWG
direction change from reverse to forward.
If changing the CWG direction at high duty cycle is
required for an application, two possible solutions for
eliminating the shoot-through current are:
1. Reduce the CWG duty cycle for one period
before changing directions.
2. Use switch drivers that can drive the switches off
faster than they can drive them on.

Clock Source
The clock source is used to drive the dead-band timing
circuits. The CWGx module allows the following clock
sources to be selected:
• FOSC (system clock)
• HFINTOSC (16 MHz only)
When the HFINTOSC is selected the HFINTOSC will
be kept running during Sleep. Therefore, CWG modes
requiring dead band can operate in Sleep provided that
the CWG data input is also active during Sleep. The
clock sources are selected using the CS bit of the
CWGxCLKCON register (Register 19-3).
19.4
Selectable Input Sources
The CWG generates the output waveforms from the
input sources in Table 19-1.

Output Control
Immediately after the CWG module is enabled, the
complementary drive is configured with all output
drives cleared.
19.5.1
CWGx OUTPUTS
Each CWG output can be routed to a Peripheral Pin
Select (PPS) output via the RxyPPS register (see
Section 12.0 “Peripheral Pin Select (PPS)
Module”).
 2015 Microchip Technology Inc.
19.6
Dead-Band Control
Dead-band control provides for non-overlapping output
signals to prevent current shoot-through in power
switches. The CWGx modules contain two 6-bit
dead-band counters. These counters can be loaded
with values that will determine the length of the dead
band initiated on either the rising or falling edges of the
input source. Dead-band control is used in either HalfBridge or Full-Bridge modes.
19.6.1
PWM6
CLC2
The polarity of each CWG output can be selected
independently. When the output polarity bit is set, the
corresponding output is active-low. Clearing the output
polarity bit configures the corresponding output as
active-high. However, polarity does not affect the
override levels. Output polarity is selected with the
POLy bits of the CWGxCON1 register.
The rising-edge dead-band delay is determined by the
rising dead-band count register (Register 19-8,
CWGxDBR) and the falling-edge dead-band delay is
determined by the falling dead-band count register
(Register 19-9, CWGxDBF). Dead-band duration is
established by counting the CWG clock periods from
zero up to the value loaded into either the rising or falling dead-band counter registers. The dead-band
counters are incremented on every rising edge of the
CWG clock source.

POLARITY CONTROL
RISING EDGE AND REVERSE
DEAD BAND
In Half-Bridge mode, the rising edge dead band delays
the turn-on of the CWGxA output after the rising edge
of the CWG data input. In Full-Bridge mode, the
reverse dead-band delay is only inserted when
changing directions from Forward mode to Reverse
mode, and only the modulated output CWGxB is
affected.
The CWGxDBR register determines the duration of the
dead-band interval on the rising edge of the input
source signal. This duration is from 0 to 64 periods of
the CWG clock.
Dead band is always initiated on the edge of the input
source signal. A count of zero indicates that no dead
band is present.
If the input source signal reverses polarity before the
dead-band count is completed then no output will be
seen on the respective output.
The CWGxDBR register value is double-buffered. If
EN = 0 (Register 19-1), the buffer is loaded when
CWGxDBR is written. If EN = 1, then the buffer will be
loaded at the rising edge, following the first falling edge
of the data input after the LD bit (Register 19-1) is set.

DEAD BAND
EQUATION 19-1:
In Half-Bridge mode, the falling edge dead band delays
the turn-on of the CWGxB output at the falling edge of
the CWGx data input. In Full-Bridge mode, the forward
dead-band delay is only inserted when changing directions from Reverse mode to Forward mode, and only
the modulated output CWGxD is affected.
The CWGxDBF register determines the duration of the
dead-band interval on the falling edge of the input
source signal. This duration is from zero to 64 periods
of the CWG clock.

T DEAD – BAND_MIN = ---------------------------------  DBx  4:0>
F CWG_CLOCK

TDEAD – BAND_MAX = ---------------------------------  DBx  4:0> + 1
F CWG_CLOCK
T JITTER = T DEAD – BAND_MAX – T DEAD – BAND_MIN
Dead band is always initiated on the edge of the input
source signal. A count of zero indicates that no dead
band is present.
1
T JITTER = --------------------------------F CWG_CLOCK
If the input source signal reverses polarity before the
dead-band count is completed, then no output will be
seen on the respective output.
T DEAD – BAND_MAX = T DEAD – BAND_MIN + T JITTER
The CWGxDBF register value is double-buffered.
When EN = 0 (Register 19-1), the buffer is loaded when
CWGxDBF is written. If EN = 1, then the buffer will be
loaded at the rising edge following the first falling edge
of the data input after the LD (Register 19-1) is set.
19.6.3
DEAD-BAND JITTER
The CWG input data signal may be asynchronous to
the CWG input clock, so some jitter may occur in the
observed dead band in each cycle. The maximum jitter
is equal to one CWG clock period. See Equation 19-1
for details and an example.
Example:
DBR  4:0> = 0x0A = 10
F CWG_CLOCK = 8 MHz
1
T JITTER = -----------------8 MHz
TDEAD – BAND_MIN = 125 ns  10 = 1.25 s
T DEAD – BAND_MAX = 1.25 s + 0.125 s = 1.37 s

19.7.1.3
Auto-Shutdown Control
Auto-shutdown is a method to immediately override the
CWG output levels with specific overrides that allow for
safe shutdown of the circuit. The shutdown state can
be either cleared automatically or held until cleared by
software.
19.7.1
SHUTDOWN
The shutdown state can be entered by either of the
following two methods:
• Software generated
• External input
Pin Override Levels
The levels driven to the CWG outputs during an autoshutdown event are controlled by the LSBD<1:0> and
LSAC<1:0> bits of the CWGxAS0 register
(Register 19-6). The LSBD<1:0> bits control CWGxB/D
output levels, while the LSAC<1:0> bits control the
CWGxA/C output levels.
19.7.1.4
Auto-Shutdown Interrupts
When an auto-shutdown event occurs, either by
software or hardware setting SHUTDOWN, the CWGxIF
flag bit of the PIR4 register is set (Register 7-11).
The SHUTDOWN bit indicates when a Shutdown
condition exists. The bit may be set or cleared in
software or by hardware.
19.8
19.7.1.1
• Software controlled
• Auto-restart
Software-Generated Shutdown
Setting the SHUTDOWN bit of the CWGxAS0 register
will force the CWG into the shutdown state.
When auto-restart is disabled, the shutdown state will
persist as long as the SHUTDOWN bit is set.
When auto-restart is enabled, the SHUTDOWN bit will
clear automatically and resume operation on the next
rising edge event.
19.7.1.2
External Input Source Shutdown
Any of the auto-shutdown external inputs can be
selected to suspend the CWG operation. These
sources are individually enabled by the ASxE bits of the
CWGxAS1 register (Register 19-7). When any of the
selected inputs goes active (pins are active-low), the
CWG outputs will immediately switch to the override
levels selected by the LSBD<1:0> and LSAC<1:0> bits
without any software delay (Section 19.7.1.3 “Pin
Override Levels”). Any of the following external input
sources can be selected to cause a Shutdown
condition:
•

•
•
Comparator C1
Comparator C2
CLC2
CWGxPPS
Note:
After an auto-shutdown event has occurred, there are
two ways to resume operation:
In either case, the shut-down source must be cleared
before the restart can take place. That is, either the
Shutdown condition must be removed, or the
corresponding WGASxE bit must be cleared.
19.8.1
SOFTWARE-CONTROLLED
RESTART
If the REN bit of the CWGxASD0 register is clear
(REN = 0), the CWGx module must be restarted after
an auto-shutdown event through software.
Once all Auto-Shutdown conditions are removed, the
software must clear SHUTDOWN. Once SHUTDOWN
is cleared, the CWG module will resume operation
upon the first rising edge of the CWG data input.
Note:
19.8.2
SHUTDOWN bit cannot be cleared in
software if the auto-shutdown condition is
still present.
AUTO-RESTART
If the REN bit of the CWGxASD0 register is set
(REN = 1), the CWGx module will restart from the shutdown state automatically.
Shutdown inputs are level sensitive, not
edge sensitive. The shutdown state
cannot be cleared, except by disabling
auto-shutdown, as long as the shutdown
input level persists.
Once all Auto-Shutdown conditions are removed, the
hardware will automatically clear SHUTDOWN. Once
SHUTDOWN is cleared, the CWG module will resume
operation upon the first rising edge of the CWG data
input.

Operation During Sleep
The CWGx module will operate during Sleep, provided
that the input sources remain active.
If the HFINTOSC is selected as the module clock
source, dead-band generation will remain active. This
will have a direct effect on the Sleep mode current.

Configuring the CWG
Ensure that the TRIS control bits corresponding
to CWG outputs are set so that all are
configured as inputs, ensuring that the outputs
are inactive during setup. External hardware
should ensure that pin levels are held to safe
levels.
Clear the EN bit, if not already cleared.
Configure the MODE<2:0> bits of the
CWGxCON0 register to set the output operating
mode.
Configure the POLy bits of the CWGxCON1
register to set the output polarities.
Configure the DAT<3:0> bits of the CWGxDAT
register to select the data input source.
If a Steering mode is selected, configure the
STRy bits to select the desired output on the
CWG outputs.
Configure the LSBD<1:0> and LSAC<1:0> bits
of the CWGxAS0 register to select the autoshutdown output override states (this is
necessary even if not using auto-shutdown
because start-up will be from a shutdown state).
If auto-restart is desired, set the REN bit of
CWGxAS0.
If auto-shutdown is desired, configure the ASxE
bits of the CWGxAS1 register to select the
shutdown source.
Set the desired rising and falling dead-band
times with the CWGxDBR and CWGxDBF
registers.
Select the clock source in the CWGxCLKCON
register.
Set the EN bit to enable the module.
Clear the TRIS bits that correspond to the CWG
outputs to set them as outputs.
If auto-restart is to be used, set the REN bit and
the SHUTDOWN bit will be cleared
automatically.
Otherwise,
clear
the
SHUTDOWN bit in software to start the CWG.

The Configurable Logic Cell (CLCx) provides
programmable logic that operates outside the speed
limitations of software execution. The logic cell takes
up to 32 input signals and, through the use of
configurable gates, reduces the 32 inputs to four logic
lines that drive one of eight selectable single-output
logic functions.

CLCx Setup
Programming the CLCx module is performed by configuring the four stages in the logic signal flow. The four
stages are:
•
•
•
•
Data selection
Data gating
Logic function selection
Output polarity
Each stage is setup at run time by writing to the corresponding CLCx Special Function Registers. This has
the added advantage of permitting logic reconfiguration
on-the-fly during program execution.
20.1.1
DATA SELECTION
There are 36 signals available as inputs to the configurable logic. Four 36-input multiplexers are used to
select the inputs to pass on to the next stage.

20.1.2
DATA GATING
Outputs from the input multiplexers are directed to the
desired logic function input through the data gating
stage. Each data gate can direct any combination of
the four selected inputs.
Note:
20.1.3
Data gating is undefined at power-up.
The gate stage is more than just signal direction. The
gate can be configured to direct each input signal as
inverted or non-inverted data. Directed signals are
ANDed together in each gate. The output of each gate
can be inverted before going on to the logic function
stage.
The gating is in essence a 1-to-4 input
AND/NAND/OR/NOR gate. When every input is
inverted and the output is inverted, the gate is an OR of
all enabled data inputs. When the inputs and output are
not inverted, the gate is an AND or all enabled inputs.
Table 20-2 summarizes the basic logic that can be
obtained in gate 1 by using the gate logic select bits.
The table shows the logic of four input variables, but
each gate can be configured to use less than four. If
no inputs are selected, the output will be zero or one,
depending on the gate output polarity bit.

•
•
•
•
•
•
•
AND-OR
OR-XOR
AND
S-R Latch
D Flip-Flop with Set and Reset
D Flip-Flop with Reset
J-K Flip-Flop with Reset
Transparent Latch with Set and Reset
Logic functions are shown in Figure 20-3. Each logic
function has four inputs and one output. The four inputs
are the four data gate outputs of the previous stage.
The output is fed to the inversion stage and from there
to other peripherals, an output pin, and back to the
CLCx itself.
20.1.4
OUTPUT POLARITY
The last stage in the configurable logic cell is the output
polarity. Setting the LCxPOL bit of the CLCxPOL
register inverts the output signal from the logic stage.
Changing the polarity while the interrupts are enabled
will cause an interrupt for the resulting output transition.
DATA GATING LOGIC
CLCxGLSy
Data gating is indicated in the right side of Figure 20-2.
Only one gate is shown in detail. The remaining three
gates are configured identically with the exception that
the data enables correspond to the enables for that
gate.
It is possible (but not recommended) to select both the
true and negated values of an input. When this is done,
the gate output is zero, regardless of the other inputs,
but may emit logic glitches (transient-induced pulses).
If the output of the channel must be zero or one, the
recommended method is to set all gate bits to zero and
use the gate polarity bit to set the desired level.
Data gating is configured with the logic gate select
registers as follows:
•
•
•
•
Gate 1: CLCxGLS0 (Register 20-7)
Gate 2: CLCxGLS1 (Register 20-8)
Gate 3: CLCxGLS2 (Register 20-9)
Gate 4: CLCxGLS3 (Register 20-10)
Register number suffixes are different than the gate
numbers because other variations of this module have
multiple gate selections in the same register.

20.2
CLCx Interrupts
20.6
An interrupt will be generated upon a change in the
output value of the CLCx when the appropriate interrupt
enables are set. A rising edge detector and a falling
edge detector are present in each CLC for this purpose.
The CLCxIF bit of the associated PIR3 register will be
set when either edge detector is triggered and its associated enable bit is set. The LCxINTP bit enables rising
edge interrupts and the LCxINTN bit enables falling
edge interrupts. Both are located in the CLCxCON
register.
To fully enable the interrupt, set the following bits:
• CLCxIE bit of the PIE3 register
• LCxINTP bit of the CLCxCON register (for a rising
edge detection)
• LCxINTN bit of the CLCxCON register (for a
falling edge detection)
• PEIE and GIE bits of the INTCON register
The CLCxIF bit of the PIR3 register, must be cleared in
software as part of the interrupt service. If another edge
is detected while this flag is being cleared, the flag will
still be set at the end of the sequence.
20.3
Output Mirror Copies
Mirror copies of all LCxCON output bits are contained
in the CLCDATA register. Reading this register reads
the outputs of all CLCs simultaneously. This prevents
any reading skew introduced by testing or reading the
LCxOUT bits in the individual CLCxCON registers.
20.4
Effects of a Reset
The CLCxCON register is cleared to zero as the result
of a Reset. All other selection and gating values remain
unchanged.
20.5
CLCx Setup Steps
The following steps should be followed when setting up
the CLCx:
• Disable CLCx by clearing the LCxEN bit.
• Select desired inputs using CLCxSEL0 through
CLCxSEL3 registers (See Table 20-1).
• Clear any associated ANSEL bits.
• Set all TRIS bits associated with inputs.
• Clear all TRIS bits associated with outputs.
• Enable the chosen inputs through the four gates
using CLCxGLS0, CLCxGLS1, CLCxGLS2, and
CLCxGLS3 registers.
• Select the gate output polarities with the
LCxGyPOL bits of the CLCxPOL register.
• Select the desired logic function with the
LCxMODE<2:0> bits of the CLCxCON register.
• Select the desired polarity of the logic output with
the LCxPOL bit of the CLCxPOL register. (This
step may be combined with the previous gate output polarity step).
• If driving a device pin, set the desired pin PPS
control register and also clear the TRIS bit
corresponding to that output.
• If interrupts are desired, configure the following
bits:
- Set the LCxINTP bit in the CLCxCON register
for rising event.
- Set the LCxINTN bit in the CLCxCON
register for falling event.
- Set the CLCxIE bit of the PIE3 register.
- Set the GIE and PEIE bits of the INTCON
register.
• Enable the CLCx by setting the LCxEN bit of the
CLCxCON register.
Operation During Sleep
The CLC module operates independently from the
system clock and will continue to run during Sleep,
provided that the input sources selected remain active.
The HFINTOSC remains active during Sleep when the
CLC module is enabled and the HFINTOSC is
selected as an input source, regardless of the system
clock source selected.
In other words, if the HFINTOSC is simultaneously
selected as the system clock and as a CLC input
source, when the CLC is enabled, the CPU will go idle
during Sleep, but the CLC will continue to operate and
the HFINTOSC will remain active.
This will have a direct effect on the Sleep mode current.

The ADC can generate an interrupt upon completion of
a conversion. This interrupt can be used to wake-up the
device from Sleep.
ANALOG-TO-DIGITAL
CONVERTER (ADC) MODULE
The Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) allows
conversion of an analog input signal to a 10-bit binary
representation of that signal. This device uses analog
inputs, which are multiplexed into a single sample and
hold circuit. The output of the sample and hold is
connected to the input of the converter. The converter
generates a 10-bit binary result via successive
approximation and stores the conversion result into the
ADC result registers (ADRESH:ADRESL register pair).
Figure 21-1 shows the block diagram of the ADC.
The ADC voltage reference is software selectable to be
either internally generated or externally supplied.

ADCRC (dedicated RC oscillator)
The time to complete one bit conversion is defined as
TAD. One full 10-bit conversion requires 11.5 TAD
periods as shown in Figure 21-2.
The CHS<5:0> bits of the ADCON0 register
(Register 21-1) determine which channel is connected
to the sample and hold circuit.
When changing channels, a delay is required before
starting the next conversion. Refer to Section 21.2
“ADC Operation” for more information.

The ADPREF<1:0> bits of the ADCON1 register
provides control of the positive voltage reference. The
positive voltage reference can be:

The ADC can be used to convert both analog and
digital signals. When converting analog signals, the I/O
pin should be configured for analog by setting the
associated TRIS and ANSEL bits. Refer to
Section 11.0 “I/O Ports” for more information.
Note:
ADC VOLTAGE REFERENCE
For correct conversion, the appropriate TAD specification
must be met. Refer to Table 34-13 for more information.
Table 21-1 gives examples of appropriate ADC clock
selections.
Note:
Preliminary
Unless using the ADCRC, any changes in
the system clock frequency will change
the ADC clock frequency, which may
adversely affect the ADC result.

INTERRUPTS
21.1.6
The ADC module allows for the ability to generate an
interrupt upon completion of an Analog-to-Digital
conversion. The ADC Interrupt Flag is the ADIF bit in
the PIR1 register. The ADC Interrupt Enable is the
ADIE bit in the PIE1 register. The ADIF bit must be
cleared in software.
RESULT FORMATTING
The 10-bit ADC conversion result can be supplied in
two formats, left justified or right justified. The ADFM bit
of the ADCON1 register controls the output format.
Figure 21-3 shows the two output formats.
Note 1: The ADIF bit is set at the completion of
every conversion, regardless of whether
or not the ADC interrupt is enabled.
2: The ADC operates during Sleep only
when the ADCRC oscillator is selected.
This interrupt can be generated while the device is
operating or while in Sleep. If the device is in Sleep, the
interrupt will wake-up the device. Upon waking from
Sleep, the next instruction following the SLEEP
instruction is always executed. If the user is attempting
to wake-up from Sleep and resume in-line code
execution, the ADIE bit of the PIE1 register and the
PEIE bit of the INTCON register must both be set and
the GIE bit of the INTCON register must be cleared. If
all three of these bits are set, the execution will switch
to the Interrupt Service Routine.

ADC Operation
STARTING A CONVERSION
To enable the ADC module, the ADON bit of the
ADCON0 register must be set to a ‘1’. Setting the
GO/DONE bit of the ADCON0 register to a ‘1’ will start
the Analog-to-Digital conversion.
Note:
21.2.2
The GO/DONE bit should not be set in the
same instruction that turns on the ADC.
Refer to Section 21.2.6 “ADC Conversion Procedure”.
COMPLETION OF A CONVERSION
When the conversion is complete, the ADC module will:
• Clear the GO/DONE bit
• Set the ADIF Interrupt Flag bit
• Update the ADRESH and ADRESL registers with
new conversion result
21.2.3
TERMINATING A CONVERSION
If a conversion must be terminated before completion,
the GO/DONE bit can be cleared in software. The
ADRESH and ADRESL registers will be updated with
the partially complete Analog-to-Digital conversion
sample. Incomplete bits will match the last bit
converted.
Note:
A device Reset forces all registers to their
Reset state. Thus, the ADC module is
turned off and any pending conversion is
terminated.
ADC OPERATION DURING SLEEP
The ADC module can operate during Sleep. This
requires the ADC clock source to be set to the ADCRC
option. When the ADCRC oscillator source is selected,
the ADC waits one additional instruction before starting
the conversion. This allows the SLEEP instruction to be
executed, which can reduce system noise during the
conversion. If the ADC interrupt is enabled, the device
will wake-up from Sleep when the conversion
completes. If the ADC interrupt is disabled, the ADC
module is turned off after the conversion completes,
although the ADON bit remains set.
When the ADC clock source is something other than
ADCRC, a SLEEP instruction causes the present
conversion to be aborted and the ADC module is
turned off, although the ADON bit remains set.
21.2.5
AUTO-CONVERSION TRIGGER
The Auto-conversion Trigger allows periodic ADC
measurements without software intervention. When a
rising edge of the selected source occurs, the
GO/DONE bit is set by hardware.
The Auto-conversion Trigger source is selected with
the ADACT<4:0> bits of the ADACT register.
Using the Auto-conversion Trigger does not assure
proper ADC timing. It is the user’s responsibility to
ensure that the ADC timing requirements are met.
See Table 21-2 for auto-conversion sources.

ADC Acquisition Requirements
For the ADC to meet its specified accuracy, the charge
holding capacitor (CHOLD) must be allowed to fully
charge to the input channel voltage level. The Analog
Input model is shown in Figure 21-4. The source
impedance (RS) and the internal sampling switch (RSS)
impedance directly affect the time required to charge
the capacitor CHOLD. The sampling switch (RSS)
impedance varies over the device voltage (VDD), refer
to Figure 21-4. The maximum recommended
impedance for analog sources is 10 k. As the
EQUATION 21-1:
Assumptions:
source impedance is decreased, the acquisition time
may be decreased. After the analog input channel is
selected (or changed), an ADC acquisition must be
done before the conversion can be started. To calculate
the minimum acquisition time, Equation 21-1 may be
used. This equation assumes that 1/2 LSb error is used
(1,024 steps for the ADC). The 1/2 LSb error is the
maximum error allowed for the ADC to meet its
specified resolution.
ACQUISITION TIME EXAMPLE
Temperature = 50°C and external impedance of 10k  5.0V V DD
T ACQ = Amplifier Settling Time + Hold Capacitor Charging Time + Temperature Coefficient

Note: Where n = number of bits of the ADC.
Solving for TC:

= – 10pF  1k  + 7k  + 10k   ln(0.0004885)
= 1.37 µs
Therefore:
T A CQ = 2µs + 892ns +   50°C- 25°C   0.05 µs/°C  
= 4.62µs
Note 1: The reference voltage (VREF) has no effect on the equation, since it cancels itself out.
2: The charge holding capacitor (CHOLD) is not discharged after each conversion.
3: The maximum recommended impedance for analog sources is 10 k. This is required to meet the pin
leakage specification.

NUMERICALLY CONTROLLED
OSCILLATOR (NCO)
The Numerically Controlled Oscillator (NCO) module is
a timer that uses the overflow from the addition of an
increment value to divide the input frequency. The
advantage of the addition method over simple
counter-driven timer is that the output frequency
resolution does not vary with the divider value. The
NCO is most useful for applications that require
frequency accuracy and fine resolution at a fixed duty
cycle.
Features of the NCO include:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
20-bit increment function
Fixed Duty Cycle (FDC) mode
Pulse Frequency (PF) mode
Output pulse-width control
Multiple clock input sources
Output polarity control
Interrupt capability
Figure 22-1 is a simplified block diagram of the NCO
module.

22.1
NCO Operation
The NCO operates by repeatedly adding a fixed value
to an accumulator. Additions occur at the input clock
rate. The accumulator will overflow with a carry
periodically, which is the raw NCO output
(NCO_overflow). This effectively reduces the input
clock by the ratio of the addition value to the maximum
accumulator value. See Equation 22-1.
The NCO output can be further modified by stretching
the pulse or toggling a flip-flop. The modified NCO
output is then distributed internally to other peripherals
and can optionally be output to a pin. The accumulator
overflow also generates an interrupt (NCO_interrupt).
The NCO period changes in discrete steps to create an
average frequency. This output depends on the ability
of the receiving circuit (i.e., CWG or external resonant
converter circuitry) to average the NCO output to
reduce uncertainty.
EQUATION 22-1:
NCO Clock Frequency  Increment Value
F OVERFLOW = ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------20

22.1.1
NCO CLOCK SOURCES
22.1.4
Clock sources available to the NCO include:
The increment value is stored in three registers making
up a 20-bit increment. In order of LSB to MSB they are:
• HFINTOSC
• FOSC
• LC1_out
The NCO clock source is selected by configuring the
N1CKS<1:0> bits in the NCO1CLK register.
22.1.2
ACCUMULATOR
The accumulator is a 20-bit register. Read and write
access to the accumulator is available through three
registers:
ADDER
The NCO adder is a full adder, which operates
independently from the system clock. The addition of
the previous result and the increment value replaces
the accumulator value on the rising edge of each input
clock.
DS40001800A-page 248
• NCO1INCL
• NCO1INCH
• NCO1INCU
When the NCO module is enabled, the NCO1INCU and
NCO1INCH registers should be written first, then the
NCO1INCL register. Writing to the NCO1INCL register
initiates the increment buffer registers to be loaded
simultaneously on the second rising edge of the
NCO_clk signal.
The registers are readable and writable. The increment
registers are double-buffered to allow value changes to
be made without first disabling the NCO module.
• NCO1ACCL
• NCO1ACCH
• NCO1ACCU
22.1.3
INCREMENT REGISTERS
When the NCO module is disabled, the increment
buffers are loaded immediately after a write to the
increment registers.
Note:
Preliminary
The increment buffer registers are not
user-accessible.

PIC16(L)F18324/18344
22.2
Fixed Duty Cycle (FDC) Mode
In Fixed Duty Cycle (FDC) mode, every time the
accumulator overflows (NCO_overflow), the output is
toggled. This provides a 50% duty cycle, provided that
the increment value remains constant. For more
information, see Figure 22-2.
The FDC mode is selected by clearing the N1PFM bit
in the NCO1CON register.
22.3
Pulse Frequency (PF) Mode
In Pulse Frequency (PF) mode, every time the
accumulator overflows (NCO_overflow), the output
becomes active for one or more clock periods. Once
the clock period expires, the output returns to an
inactive state. This provides a pulsed output. The
output becomes active on the rising clock edge
immediately following the overflow event. For more
information, see Figure 22-2.
The value of the active and inactive states depends on
the polarity bit, N1POL, in the NCO1CON register.
The PF mode is selected by setting the N1PFM bit in
the NCO1CON register.
22.3.1
OUTPUT PULSE-WIDTH CONTROL
When operating in PF mode, the active state of the
output can vary in width by multiple clock periods.
Various pulse widths are selected with the
N1PWS<2:0> bits in the NCO1CLK register.
When the selected pulse width is greater than the
accumulator overflow time frame, the output of the
NCO operation is indeterminate.
22.4
Output Polarity Control
The last stage in the NCO module is the output polarity.
The N1POL bit in the NCO1CON register selects the
output polarity. Changing the polarity while the
interrupts are enabled will cause an interrupt for the
resulting output transition.
The NCO output can be used internally by source code
or other peripherals. Accomplish this by reading the
N1OUT (read-only) bit of the NCO1CON register.
The NCO output signal is available to the following
peripherals:
• CLC
• CWG

Interrupts
When the accumulator overflows (NCO_overflow), the
NCO Interrupt Flag bit, NCO1IF, of the PIR2 register is
set. To enable the interrupt event (NCO_interrupt), the
following bits must be set:
•
•
•
•
N1EN bit of the NCO1CON register
NCO1IE bit of the PIE2 register
PEIE bit of the INTCON register
GIE bit of the INTCON register
The interrupt must be cleared by software by clearing
the NCO1IF bit in the Interrupt Service Routine.
22.6
Effects of a Reset
All of the NCO registers are cleared to zero as the
result of a Reset.
22.7
Operation in Sleep
The NCO module operates independently from the
system clock and will continue to run during Sleep,
provided that the clock source selected remains active.
The HFINTOSC remains active during Sleep when the
NCO module is enabled and the HFINTOSC is
selected as the clock source, regardless of the system
clock source selected.
In other words, if the HFINTOSC is simultaneously
selected as the system clock and the NCO clock
source, when the NCO is enabled, the CPU will go idle
during Sleep, but the NCO will continue to operate and
the HFINTOSC will remain active.
This will have a direct effect on the Sleep mode current.

5-BIT DIGITAL-TO-ANALOG
CONVERTER (DAC1) MODULE
The Digital-to-Analog Converter supplies a variable
voltage reference, ratiometric with the input source,
with 32 selectable output levels.
23.1
Output Voltage Selection
The DAC has 32 voltage level ranges. The 32 levels
are set with the DAC1R<4:0> bits of the DAC1CON1
register.
The DAC output voltage is determined by Equation 23-1:
The input of the DAC can be connected to:
• External VREF pins
• VDD supply voltage
• FVR (Fixed Voltage Reference)
The output of the DAC can be configured to supply a
reference voltage to the following:
• Comparator positive input
• ADC input channel
• DAC1OUT pin
The Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) is enabled by
setting the DAC1EN bit of the DAC1CON0 register.

Ratiometric Output Level
The DAC output value is derived using a resistor ladder
with each end of the ladder tied to a positive and
negative voltage reference input source. If the voltage
of either input source fluctuates, a similar fluctuation will
result in the DAC output value.
The value of the individual resistors within the ladder
can be found in Table 34-15.
23.3
DAC Voltage Reference Output
The DAC voltage can be output to the DAC1OUT pin
by setting the DAC1OE bit of the DAC1CON0 register.
Selecting the DAC reference voltage for output on the
DAC1OUT pin automatically overrides the digital
output buffer and digital input threshold detector
functions, it disables the weak pull-up and the
constant-current drive function of that pin. Reading the
DAC1OUT pin when it has been configured for DAC
reference voltage output will always return a ‘0’.
Due to the limited current drive capability, a buffer must
be used on the DAC voltage reference output for
external connections to the DAC1OUT pin. Figure 23-2
shows an example buffering technique.

DATA SIGNAL MODULATOR
(DSM) MODULE
The Data Signal Modulator (DSM) is a peripheral which
allows the user to mix a data stream, also known as a
modulator signal, with a carrier signal to produce a
modulated output.
Both the carrier and the modulator signals are supplied
to the DSM module either internally, from the output of
a peripheral, or externally through an input pin.
The modulated output signal is generated by
performing a logical “AND” operation of both the carrier
and modulator signals and then provided to the MDOUT
pin.
The carrier signal is comprised of two distinct and
separate signals. A carrier high (CARH) signal and a
carrier low (CARL) signal. During the time in which the
modulator (MOD) signal is in a logic-high state, the
DSM mixes the carrier high signal with the modulator
signal. When the modulator signal is in a logic-low
state, the DSM mixes the carrier low signal with the
modulator signal.
Using this method, the DSM can generate the following
types of Key Modulation schemes:
• Frequency-Shift Keying (FSK)
• Phase-Shift Keying (PSK)
• On-Off Keying (OOK)
Additionally, the following features are provided within
the DSM module:

24.1
DSM Operation
24.3
The DSM module can be enabled by setting the MDEN
bit in the MDCON register. Clearing the MDEN bit in the
MDCON register, disables the DSM module by automatically switching the carrier high and carrier low signals to the VSS signal source. The modulator signal
source is also switched to the MDBIT in the MDCON
register. This not only assures that the DSM module is
inactive, but that it is also consuming the least amount
of current.
The values used to select the carrier high, carrier low,
and modulator sources held by the Modulation Source,
Modulation High Carrier, and Modulation Low Carrier
control registers are not affected when the MDEN bit is
cleared and the DSM module is disabled. The values
inside these registers remain unchanged while the
DSM is inactive. The sources for the carrier high,
carrier low and modulator signals will once again be
selected when the MDEN bit is set and the DSM
module is again enabled and active.
The modulated output signal can be disabled without
shutting down the DSM module. The DSM module will
remain active and continue to mix signals, but the output value will not be sent to the DSM pin. During the
time that the output is disabled, the DSM pin will remain
low. The modulated output can be disabled by clearing
the MDEN bit in the MDCON register.
24.2

The carrier high signal is selected by configuring the
MDCH <3:0> bits in the MDCARH register. The carrier
low signal is selected by configuring the MDCL <3:0>
bits in the MDCARL register.
24.4
Carrier Synchronization
During the time when the DSM switches between
carrier high and carrier low signal sources, the carrier
data in the modulated output signal can become
truncated. To prevent this, the carrier signal can be
synchronized to the modulator signal. When the
modulator signal transitions away from the
synchronized carrier, the unsynchronized carrier
source is immediately active, while the synchronized
carrier remains active until its next falling edge. When
the modulator signal transitions back to the
synchronized carrier, the unsynchronized carrier is
immediately disabled, and the modulator waits until the
next falling edge of the synchronized carrier before the
synchronized carrier becomes active.
Synchronization is enabled separately for the carrier
high and carrier low signal sources. Synchronization for
the carrier high signal is enabled by setting the
MDCHSYNC bit in the MDCARH register.
Synchronization for the carrier low signal is enabled by
setting the MDCLSYNC bit in the MDCARL register.
Figure 24-1 through Figure 24-6 show timing diagrams
of using various synchronization methods.
The modulator signal is selected by configuring the
MDMS <3:0> bits in the MDSRC register.

Carrier Source Polarity Select
The signal provided from any selected input source for
the carrier high and carrier low signals can be inverted.
Inverting the signal for the carrier high source is
enabled by setting the MDCHPOL bit of the MDCARH
register. Inverting the signal for the carrier low source is
enabled by setting the MDCLPOL bit of the MDCARL
register.
24.6
Programmable Modulator Data
The MDBIT of the MDCON register can be selected as
the source for the modulator signal. This gives the user
the ability to program the value used for modulation.
24.7
Modulated Output Polarity
The modulated output signal provided on the DSM pin
can also be inverted. Inverting the modulated output
signal is enabled by setting the MDOPOL bit of the
MDCON register.
24.8
Slew Rate Control
The slew rate limitation on the output port pin can be
disabled. The slew rate limitation can be removed by
clearing the SLR bit of the SLRCON register
associated with that pin. For example, clearing the slew
rate limitation for pin RA5 would require clearing the
SLRA5 bit of the SLRCONA register.
24.9
Operation in Sleep Mode
The DSM module is not affected by Sleep mode. The
DSM can still operate during Sleep, if the Carrier and
Modulator input sources are also still operable during
Sleep.
24.10 Effects of a Reset
Upon any device Reset, the DSM module is disabled.
The user’s firmware is responsible for initializing the
module before enabling the output. The registers are
reset to their default values.

25.1.2
TIMER0 MODULE
The Timer0 module is an 8/16-bit timer/counter with the
following features:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
16-bit timer/counter
8-bit timer/counter with programmable period
Synchronous or asynchronous operation
Selectable clock sources
Programmable
prescaler
(independent
of
Watchdog Timer)
Programmable postscaler
Operation during Sleep mode
Interrupt on match or overflow
Output on I/O pin (via PPS) or to other peripherals
25.1
Timer0 Operation
Timer0 can operate as either an 8-bit timer/counter or
a 16-bit timer/counter. The mode is selected with the
T016BIT bit of the T0CON register.
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 a counter and
increments on every rising edge of the external source.
25.1.1
16-BIT MODE
In normal operation, TMR0 increments on the rising
edge of the clock source. A 15-bit prescaler on the
clock input gives several prescale options (see
prescaler control bits, T0CKPS<3:0> in the T0CON1
register).
25.1.1.1
Timer0 Reads and Writes in 16-Bit
Mode
8-BIT MODE
In normal operation, TMR0 increments on the rising
edge of the clock source. A 15-bit prescaler on the
clock input gives several prescale options (see
prescaler control bits, T0CKPS<3:0> in the T0CON1
register).
The value of TMR0L is compared to that of the Period
buffer, a copy of TMR0H, on each clock cycle. When
the two values match, the following events happen:
• TMR0_out goes high for one prescaled clock
period
• TMR0L is reset
• The contents of TMR0H are copied to the period
buffer
In 8-bit mode, the TMR0L and TMR0H registers are
both directly readable and writable. The TMR0L
register is cleared on any device Reset, while the
TMR0H register initializes at FFh.
Both the prescaler and postscaler counters are cleared
on the following events:
• A write to the TMR0L register
• A write to either the T0CON0 or T0CON1
registers.
• Any device Reset – Power-on Reset
(POR),MCLR Reset, Watchdog Timer Reset
(WDTR) or Brown-out Reset (BOR)
25.1.3
COUNTER MODE
In Counter mode, the prescaler is normally disabled by
setting the T0CKPS bits of the T0CON1 register to
‘0000’. Each rising edge of the clock input (or the
output of the prescaler if the prescaler is used)
increments the counter by ‘1’.
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 neither directly readable nor
writable (see Figure 25-1). 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 was valid, due to a rollover between
successive reads of the high and low byte.
25.1.4
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.
When the T0ASYNC bit of the T0CON1 register is set
(T0ASYNC = 1), the counter increments with each
rising edge of the input source (or output of the
prescaler, if used). Asynchronous mode allows the
counter to continue operation during Sleep mode
provided that the clock also continues to operate during
Sleep.
DS40001800A-page 272
TIMER MODE
In Timer mode, the Timer0 module will increment every
instruction cycle as long as there is a valid clock signal
and the T0CKPS bits of the T0CON1 register
(Register 25-4) are set to ‘0000’. When a prescaler is
added, the timer will increment at the rate based on the
prescaler value.
25.1.5
Preliminary
ASYNCHRONOUS MODE
 2015 Microchip Technology Inc.
PIC16(L)F18324/18344
25.1.6
SYNCHRONOUS MODE
25.6
When the T0ASYNC bit of the T0CON1 register is clear
(T0ASYNC = 0), the counter clock is synchronized to
the system oscillator (FOSC/4). When operating in
Synchronous mode, the counter clock frequency
cannot exceed FOSC/4.
25.2
Clock Source Selection
The T0CS<2:0> bits of the T0CON1 register are used
to select the clock source for Timer0. Register 25-4
displays the clock source selections.
25.2.1
INTERNAL CLOCK SOURCE
When the internal clock source is selected, Timer0
operates as a timer and will increment on multiples of
the clock source, as determined by the Timer0
prescaler.
25.2.2
EXTERNAL CLOCK SOURCE
When an external clock source is selected, Timer0 can
operate as either a timer or a counter. Timer0 will
increment on multiples of the rising edge of the external
clock source, as determined by the Timer0 prescaler.
25.3
Programmable Prescaler
A software programmable prescaler is available for
exclusive use with Timer0. There are 16 prescaler
options for Timer0 ranging in powers of two from 1:1 to
1:32768. The prescaler values are selected using the
T0CKPS<3:0> bits of the T0CON1 register.
The prescaler is not directly readable or writable.
Clearing the prescaler register can be done by writing
to the TMR0L register or the T0CON1 register.
25.4
Timer0 Interrupts
The Timer0 Interrupt Flag bit (TMR0IF) is set when
either of the following conditions occur:
• 8-bit TMR0L matches the TMR0H value
• 16-bit TMR0 rolls over from FFFFh
When the postscaler bits (T0OUTPS<3:0>) are set to
1:1 operation (no division), the T0IF Flag bit will be set
with every TMR0 match or rollover. In general, the
TMR0IF Flag bit will be set every T0OUTPS +1
matches or rollovers.
If Timer0 interrupts are enabled (TMR0IE bit of the
PIE0 register = 1), the CPU will be interrupted and the
device may wake from Sleep (see Section 25.5
“Operation During Sleep” for more details).
25.7
Timer0 Output
The Timer0 output can be routed to any I/O pin via the
RxyPPS output selection register (see Section 12.0
“Peripheral Pin Select (PPS) Module” for additional
information). The Timer0 output can also be used by
other peripherals, such as the auto-conversion trigger
of the Analog-to-Digital Converter. Finally, the Timer0
output can be monitored through software via the
Timer0 Output bit (T0OUT) of the T0CON0 register
(Register 25-3).
TMR0_out will be one postscaled clock period when a
match occurs between TMR0L and TMR0H in 8-bit
mode, or when TMR0 rolls over in 16-bit mode. The
Timer0 output is a 50% duty cycle that toggles on each
TMR0_out rising clock edge.
Programmable Postscaler
A software programmable postscaler (output divider) is
available for exclusive use with Timer0. There are 16
postscaler options for Timer0 ranging from 1:1 to 1:16.
The postscaler values are selected using the
T0OUTPS<3:0> bits of the T0CON0 register.
The postscaler is not directly readable or writable.
Clearing the postscaler register can be done by writing
to the TMR0L register or the T0CON0 register.
25.5
Operation During Sleep
When operating synchronously, Timer0 will halt. When
operating asynchronously, Timer0 will continue to
increment and wake the device from Sleep (if Timer0
interrupts are enabled) provided that the input clock
source is active.

attention to the register names used. A
number placed after the module acronym
is used to distinguish between separate
modules. For example, the T1CON and
T3CON control the same operational
aspects of two completely different Timer
modules.
2: Throughout
this
section,
generic
references to Timer1 module in any of its
operating modes may be interpreted as
being equally applicable to Timerx
module. Register names, module
signals, I/O pins and bit names may use
the generic designator ‘x’ to indicate the
use of a numeral to distinguish a
particular module, when required.

Timer1 Operation
26.2
The Timer1 module is a 16-bit incrementing counter
which is accessed through the TMR1H:TMR1L register
pair. Writes to TMR1H or TMR1L directly update the
counter.
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.
Timer1 is enabled by configuring the TMR1ON and
TMR1GE bits in the T1CON and T1GCON registers,
respectively. Table 26-1 displays the Timer1 enable
selections.
TABLE 26-1:
TIMER1 ENABLE
SELECTIONS
Clock Source Selection
The TMR1CS<1:0> and T1SOSC bits of the T1CON
register are used to select the clock source for Timer1.
Table 26-2 displays the clock source selections.
26.2.1
INTERNAL CLOCK SOURCE
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 the FOSC internal clock source is selected, the
Timer1 register value will increment by four counts every
instruction clock cycle. Due to this condition, a 2 LSB
error in resolution will occur when reading the Timer1
value. To utilize the full resolution of Timer1, an
asynchronous input signal must be used to gate the
Timer1 clock input.
The following asynchronous sources may be used:
• Asynchronous event on the T1G pin to Timer1
gate
• C1 or C2 comparator input to Timer1 gate

When the external clock source is selected, the Timer1
module may work as a timer or a counter.
EXTERNAL CLOCK SOURCE
When enabled to count, Timer1 is incremented on the
rising edge of the external clock input, T1CKI, which can
be either synchronized to the microcontroller system
clock or run asynchronously.
When used as a timer with a clock oscillator, an
external 32.768 kHz crystal can be connected to the
SOSCI/SOSCO pins.
Note:
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:

26.5.1
Timer1 Prescaler
Timer1 has four prescaler options allowing 1, 2, 4 or 8
divisions of the clock input. The T1CKPS bits of the
T1CON register control the prescale counter. The
prescale counter is not directly readable or writable;
however, the prescaler counter is cleared upon a write to
TMR1H or TMR1L.
26.4
Timer1 (Secondary) Oscillator
A dedicated low-power 32.768 kHz oscillator circuit is
built-in between pins SOSCI (input) and SOSCO
(amplifier output). This internal circuit is designed to be
used in conjunction with an external 32.768 kHz
crystal.
The oscillator circuit is enabled by setting the T1SOSC
bit of the T1CON register. The oscillator will continue to
run during Sleep.
Note:
26.5
The oscillator requires a start-up and
stabilization time before use. Thus,
T1SOSC should be set and a suitable
delay observed prior to using Timer1. A
suitable delay similar to the OST delay
can be implemented in software by
clearing the TMR1IF bit then presetting
the TMR1H:TMR1L register pair to
FC00h. The TMR1IF flag will be set when
1024 clock cycles have elapsed, thereby
indicating that the oscillator is running and
reasonably stable.
Timer1 Operation in
Asynchronous Counter Mode
If the control bit T1SYNC of the T1CON register is set,
the external clock input is not synchronized. The timer
increments asynchronously to the internal phase
clocks. If the external clock source is selected then the
timer will continue to run during Sleep and can
generate an interrupt on overflow, which will wake-up
the processor. However, special precautions in
software are needed to read/write the timer (see
Section 26.5.1 “Reading and Writing Timer1 in
Asynchronous Counter Mode”).
Note:
READING AND WRITING TIMER1 IN
ASYNCHRONOUS COUNTER
MODE
Reading TMR1H or TMR1L while the timer is running
from an external asynchronous clock will ensure a valid
read (taken care of in hardware). However, the user
should keep in mind that reading the 16-bit timer in two
8-bit values itself, poses certain problems, since the
timer may overflow between the reads.
For writes, it is recommended that the user simply stop
the timer and write the desired values. A write
contention may occur by writing to the timer registers,
while the register is incrementing. This may produce an
unpredictable value in the TMR1H:TMR1L register pair.
26.6
Timer1 Gate
Timer1 can be configured to count freely or the count
can be enabled and disabled using Timer1 gate
circuitry. This is also referred to as Timer1 Gate Enable.
Timer1 gate can also be driven by multiple selectable
sources.
26.6.1
TIMER1 GATE ENABLE
The Timer1 Gate Enable mode is enabled by setting
the TMR1GE bit of the T1GCON register. The polarity
of the Timer1 Gate Enable mode is configured using
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 26-3 for timing details.

26.6.2.2
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 Timer1 gate circuitry.
26.6.2.3
Comparator C1 Gate Operation
The output resulting from a Comparator 1 operation can
be selected as a source for Timer1 gate control. The
Comparator 1 output can be synchronized to the Timer1
clock or left asynchronous. For more information see
Section 17.4.1
“Comparator

Synchronization”.
26.6.2.4
Comparator C2 Gate Operation
The output resulting from a Comparator 2 operation
can be selected as a source for Timer1 gate control.

Synchronization”.
26.6.3

26.6.2.1
Timer1 Gate Toggle mode is enabled by setting the
T1GTM bit of the T1GCON register. When the T1GTM
bit is cleared, the flip-flop is cleared and held clear. This
is necessary in order to control which edge is
measured.
TIMER1 GATE TOGGLE MODE
When Timer1 Gate Toggle mode is enabled, it is
possible to measure the full-cycle length of a Timer1
gate signal, as opposed to the duration of a single level
pulse.
Enabling Toggle mode at the same time
as changing the gate polarity may result in
indeterminate operation.
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/DONE 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/DONE bit will automatically be
cleared. No other gate events will be allowed to
increment Timer1 until the T1GGO/DONE bit is once
again set in software. See Figure 26-5 for timing details.
If the Single-Pulse Gate mode is disabled by clearing the
T1GSPM bit in the T1GCON register, the T1GGO/DONE
bit should also be cleared.
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 26-6 for timing
details.
26.6.5
TIMER1 GATE VALUE STATUS
When Timer1 Gate Value Status is utilized, it is possible to read the most current level of the gate control
value. The value is stored in the T1GVAL bit in the
T1GCON register. The T1GVAL bit is valid even when
the Timer1 gate is not enabled (TMR1GE bit is
cleared).
26.6.6
TIMER1 GATE EVENT INTERRUPT
When Timer1 Gate Event Interrupt is enabled, it is
possible to generate an interrupt upon the completion
of a gate event. When the falling edge of T1GVAL
occurs, the TMR1GIF flag bit in the PIR1 register will be
set. If the TMR1GIE bit in the PIE1 register is set, then
an interrupt will be recognized.
The TMR1GIF flag bit operates even when the Timer1
gate is not enabled (TMR1GE bit is cleared).
The Timer1 gate source is routed through a flip-flop
that changes state on every incrementing edge of the
signal. See Figure 26-4 for timing details.

Timer1 Interrupt
26.9
The Timer1 register pair (TMR1H:TMR1L) increments
to FFFFh and rolls over to 0000h. When Timer1 rolls
over, the Timer1 interrupt flag bit of the PIR1 register is
set. To enable the interrupt on rollover, you must set
these bits:
•
•
•
•
TMR1ON bit of the T1CON register
TMR1IE bit of the PIE1 register
PEIE bit of the INTCON register
GIE bit of the INTCON register
The interrupt is cleared by clearing the TMR1IF bit in
the Interrupt Service Routine.
The TMR1H:TMR1L register pair and the
TMR1IF bit should be cleared before
enabling interrupts.
Note:
26.8
Timer1 Operation During Sleep
Timer1 can only operate during Sleep when setup in
Asynchronous Counter mode. In this mode, an external
crystal or clock source can be used to increment the
counter. To set up the timer to wake the device:
•
•
•
•
•
TMR1ON bit of the T1CON register must be set
TMR1IE bit of the PIE1 register must be set
PEIE bit of the INTCON register must be set
T1SYNC bit of the T1CON register must be set
TMR1CS bits of the T1CON register must be
configured
• T1SOSC bit of the T1CON register must be
configured
CCP Capture/Compare Time Base
The CCP modules use the TMR1H:TMR1L register
pair as the time base when operating in Capture or
Compare mode.
In Capture mode, the value in the TMR1H:TMR1L
register pair is copied into the CCPR1H:CCPR1L
register pair on a configured event.
In Compare mode, an event is triggered when the value
CCPR1H:CCPR1L register pair matches the value in
the TMR1H:TMR1L register pair. This event can be an
Auto-conversion Trigger.
For
more
information,
see
“Capture/Compare/PWM Modules”.
Section 28.0
26.10 CCP Auto-Conversion Trigger
When any of the CCP’s are configured to trigger an
auto-conversion, the trigger will clear the
TMR1H:TMR1L register pair. This auto-conversion
does not cause a Timer1 interrupt. The CCP module
may still be configured to generate a CCP interrupt.
In this mode of operation, the CCPR1H:CCPR1L
register pair becomes the period register for Timer1.
Timer1 should be synchronized and FOSC/4 should be
selected as the clock source in order to utilize the
Auto-conversion Trigger. Asynchronous operation of
Timer1 can cause an Auto-conversion Trigger to be
missed.
In the event that a write to TMR1H or TMR1L coincides
with an Auto-conversion Trigger from the CCP, the
write will take precedence.
The device will wake-up on an overflow and execute
the next instructions. If the GIE bit of the INTCON
register is set, the device will call the Interrupt Service
Routine.
For more information, see Section 28.3.3 “Auto-Conversion Trigger”.
Secondary oscillator will continue to operate in Sleep
regardless of the T1SYNC bit setting.

TIMER2/4/6 MODULE
Note 1: In devices with more than one Timer
module, it is very important to pay close
attention to the register names used. A
number placed after the module acronym
is used to distinguish between separate
modules. For example, the T2CON and
T4CON control the same operational
aspects of two completely different Timer
modules.
Timer2/4/6 modules are 8-bit timers that incorporate
the following features:
• 8-bit Timer and Period registers (TMR2/4/6 and
PR2/4/6, respectively)
• Readable and writable (both registers)
• Software programmable prescaler (1:1, 1:4, 1:16,
and 1:64)
• Software programmable postscaler (1:1 to 1:16)
• Interrupt on TMR2/4/6 match with PR2/4/6
• Optional use as the shift clock for the MSSP
module
2: Throughout
this
section,
generic
references to Timer2 module in any of its
operating modes may be interpreted as
being equally applicable to Timerx
module. Register names, module
signals, I/O pins and bit names may use
the generic designator ‘x’ to indicate the
use of a numeral to distinguish a
particular module, when required.

Timer2 Operation
27.3
The clock input to the Timer2 modules is the system
instruction clock (FOSC/4).
A 4-bit counter/prescaler on the clock input allows direct
input, divide-by-4 and divide-by-16 prescale options.
These options are selected by the prescaler control bits,
T2CKPS<1:0> of the T2CON register. 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 27.2
“Timer2
Interrupt”).
The TMR2 and PR2 registers are both directly readable
and writable. The TMR2 register is cleared on any
device Reset, whereas the PR2 register initializes to
FFh. Both the prescaler and postscaler counters are
cleared on the following events:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Timer2 Output
The unscaled output of TMR2 is available primarily to
the CCP 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 module operating in SPI mode.
Additional information is provided in Section 29.0
“Master Synchronous Serial Port (MSSP1) Module”
27.4
Timer2 Operation During Sleep
The Timer2 timers cannot be operated while the
processor is in Sleep mode. The contents of the TMR2
and PR2 registers will remain unchanged while the
processor is in Sleep mode.

Note:
27.2
TMR2 is not cleared when T2CON is
written.
Timer2 Interrupt
Timer2 can also generate an optional device interrupt.
The Timer2 output signal (TMR2-to-PR2 match)
provides the input for the 4-bit counter/postscaler. This
counter generates the TMR2 match interrupt flag which
is latched in TMR2IF of the PIR1 register. The interrupt
is enabled by setting the TMR2 Match Interrupt Enable
bit, TMR2IE, of the PIE1 register.
A range of 16 postscale options (from 1:1 through 1:16
inclusive) can be selected with the postscaler control
bits, T2OUTPS<3:0>, of the T2CON register.

CAPTURE/COMPARE/PWM
MODULES
28.2
The Capture/Compare/PWM module is a peripheral
that allows the user to time and control different events
and to generate Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM)
signals. In Capture mode, the peripheral allows the
timing of the duration of an event. The Compare mode
allows the user to trigger an external event when a
predetermined amount of time has expired. The PWM
mode can generate Pulse-Width Modulated signals of
varying frequency and duty cycle.
This family of devices contains four standard
Capture/Compare/PWM modules (CCP1, CCP2, CCP3
and CCP4).
The Capture and Compare functions are identical for all
CCP modules.
28.1
CCP/PWM Clock Selection
The PIC16(L)F18324/18344 devices allow each individual CCP and PWM module to select the timer
source that controls the module. Each module has an
independent
selection.
As there are up to three 8-bit timers with auto-reload
(Timer2, Timer4, and Timer6), PWM mode on the CCP
and PWM modules can use any of these timers.
The CCPTMRS register is used to select which timer is
used.
Note 1: In devices with more than one CCP
module, it is very important to pay close
attention to the register names used. A
number placed after the module acronym
is used to distinguish between separate
modules. For example, the CCP1CON
and CCP2CON control the same
operational aspects of two completely
different CCP modules.
2: Throughout
this
section,
generic
references to a CCP module in any of its
operating modes may be interpreted as
being equally applicable to CCPx module.
Register names, module signals, I/O pins,
and bit names may use the generic
designator ‘x’ to indicate the use of a
numeral to distinguish a particular module,
when required.
 2015 Microchip Technology Inc.
Capture Mode
The Capture mode function described in this section is
available and identical for all CCP modules.
Capture mode makes use of either the 16-bit Timer0 or
the 16-bit Timer1/3/5 resource. When an event occurs
on the capture source, the 16-bit CCPRxH:CCPRxL
register pair captures and stores the 16-bit value of the
TMR1H:TMR1L register pair, respectively. An event is
defined as one of the following and is configured by the
CCPxMODE<3:0> bits of the CCPxCON register:
•
•
•
•
Every falling edge
Every rising edge
Every 4th rising edge
Every 16th rising edge
When a capture is made, the Interrupt Request Flag bit
CCPxIF of the PIR4 register is set. The interrupt flag
must be cleared in software. If another capture occurs
before the value in the CCPRxH, CCPRxL register pair
is read, the old captured value is overwritten by the new
captured value.
Figure 28-1 shows a simplified diagram of the capture
operation.
28.2.1
CAPTURE SOURCES
In Capture mode, the CCPx pin should be configured
as an input by setting the associated TRIS control bit.
Note:
If the CCPx pin is configured as an output,
a write to the port can cause a Capture
condition.
The capture source is selected by configuring the
CCPxCTS<3:0> bits of the CCPxCAP register. The
following sources can be selected:

TIMER1/3/5 MODE RESOURCE
28.2.5
Timer1/3/5 must be running in Timer mode or
Synchronized Counter mode for the CCP module to use
the capture feature. In Asynchronous Counter mode, the
capture operation may not work.
See Section 26.0 “Timer1/3/5 Module with Gate
Control” for more information on configuring
Timer1/3/5.
28.2.3
SOFTWARE INTERRUPT MODE
When the Capture mode is changed, a false capture
interrupt may be generated. The user should keep the
CCPxIE interrupt enable bit of the PIE4 register clear to
avoid false interrupts. Additionally, the user should
clear the CCPxIF interrupt flag bit of the PIR4 register
following any change in Operating mode.
Note:
28.2.4
CAPTURE DURING SLEEP
Capture mode depends upon the Timer1/3/5 module for
proper operation. There are two options for driving the
Timer1/3/5 module in Capture mode. It can be driven by
the instruction clock (FOSC/4), or by an external clock
source.
When Timer1/3/5 is clocked by FOSC/4, Timer1/3/5 will
not increment during Sleep. When the device wakes
from Sleep, Timer1/3/5 will continue from its previous
state.
Capture mode will operate during Sleep when
Timer1/3/5 is clocked by an external clock source.
Clocking Timer1/3/5 from the system clock
(FOSC) should not be used in Capture
mode. In order for Capture mode to
recognize the trigger event on the CCPx
pin, Timer1/3/5 must be clocked from the
instruction clock (FOSC/4) or from an
external clock source.
CCP PRESCALER
There are four prescaler settings specified by the
CCPxMODE<3:0> bits of the CCPxCON register.
Whenever the CCP module is turned off, or the CCP
module is not in Capture mode, the prescaler counter
is cleared. Any Reset will clear the prescaler counter.
Switching from one capture prescaler to another does not
clear the prescaler and may generate a false interrupt. To
avoid this unexpected operation, turn the module off by
clearing the CCPxCON register before changing the
prescaler. Example 28-1 demonstrates the code to
perform this function.

Compare Mode
The Compare mode function described in this section
is available and identical for all CCP modules.
Compare mode makes use of either the 16-bit Timer0
or the 16-bit Timer1/3/5 resource. The 16-bit value of
the CCPRxH:CCPRxL register pair is constantly
compared against the 16-bit value of the
TMR1/3/5H:TMR1/3/5L register pair. When a match
occurs, one of the following events can occur:
•
•
•
•
•
In Compare mode, Timer1/3/5 must be running in either
Timer mode or Synchronized Counter mode. The
compare operation may not work in Asynchronous
Counter mode.
See Section 26.0 “Timer1/3/5 Module with Gate
Control” for more information on configuring
Timer1/3/5.
Note:
Toggle the CCPx output

Generate an Auto-conversion Trigger
Generate a Software Interrupt
The action on the pin is based on the value of the
CCPxMODE<3:0> control bits of the CCPxCON register. At the same time, the interrupt flag CCPxIF bit is
set, and an ADC conversion can be triggered, if
selected.
All Compare modes can generate an interrupt and
trigger an ADC conversion.

operation.

PWM Overview
Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) is a scheme that
provides power to a load by switching quickly between
fully on and fully off states. The PWM signal resembles
a square wave where the high portion of the signal is
considered the on state and the low portion of the signal
is considered the off state. The high portion, also known
as the pulse width, can vary in time and is defined in
steps. A larger number of steps applied, which
lengthens the pulse width, also supplies more power to
the load. Lowering the number of steps applied, which
shortens the pulse width, supplies less power. The
PWM period is defined as the duration of one complete
cycle or the total amount of on and off time combined.
PWM resolution defines the maximum number of steps
that can be present in a single PWM period. A higher
resolution allows for more precise control of the
pulse-width time and in turn the power that is applied to
the load.
The term duty cycle describes the proportion of the on
time to the off time and is expressed in percentages,
where 0% is fully off and 100% is fully on. A lower duty
cycle corresponds to less power applied and a higher
duty cycle corresponds to more power applied.
STANDARD PWM OPERATION
The standard PWM function described in this section is
available and identical for all CCP modules.
The standard PWM mode generates a Pulse-Width
Modulation (PWM) signal on the CCPx pin with up to 10
bits of resolution. The period, duty cycle, and resolution
are controlled by the following registers:
•
•
•
•
PR2/4/6 registers
T2/4/6CON registers

SETUP FOR PWM OPERATION
28.4.4
The following steps should be taken when configuring
the CCP module for standard PWM operation:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
Use the desired output pin RxyPPS control to
select CCPx as the source and disable the
CCPx pin output driver by setting the associated
TRIS bit.
Load the PR2 register with the PWM period
value.
Configure the CCP module for the PWM mode
by loading the CCPxCON register with the
appropriate values.
Load the CCPRxL register and the CCPRxH
register bits, with the PWM duty cycle value and
configure the CCPxFMT bit of the CCPxCON
register to set the proper register alignment.
Configure and start Timer2, 4 or 6.
• Clear the TMR2/4/6IF interrupt flag bits of
the PIR4 register. See Note below.
• Configure the T2/4/6CKPS bits of the
T2/4/6CON register with the Timer
prescale value.
• Enable the Timer by setting the
TMR2/4/6ON bit of the T2/4/6CON
register.
Enable PWM output pin:
• Wait until the Timer overflows and the
TMR2/4/6IF bits of the PIR4 register is set.
See Note below.
• Enable the CCPx pin output driver by
clearing the associated TRIS bit.
Note:
In order to send a complete duty cycle and
period on the first PWM output, the above
steps must be included in the setup
sequence. If it is not critical to start with a
complete PWM signal on the first output,
then step 6 may be ignored.
PWM PERIOD
The PWM period is specified by the PRx register of
Timer2/4/6. The PWM period can be calculated using
the formula of Equation 28-1.
EQUATION 28-1:
PWM Period =   PR2x  + 1   4  T OSC 
(TMR2/4/6 Prescale Value)
TOSC = 1/FOSC
Note:
When TMR2/4/6 is equal to PR2/4/6, the following
three events occur on the next increment cycle:
• TMR2/4/6 is cleared
• The CCPx pin is set. (Exception: If the PWM duty
cycle = 0%, the pin will not be set.)
• The PWM duty cycle is transferred from the
CCPRxL/H register pair into a 10-bit buffer.
Note:
28.4.5
The Timer postscaler (see Section 27.1
“Timer2 Operation”) is not used in the
determination of the PWM frequency.
PWM DUTY CYCLE
The PWM duty cycle is specified by writing a 10-bit
value to the CCPRxH:CCPRxL register pair. The
alignment of the 10-bit value is determined by the
CCPRxFMT bit of the CCPxCON register (see
Figure 28-5). The CCPRxH:CCPRxL register pair can
be written to at any time; however, the duty cycle value
is not latched into the 10-bit buffer until after a match
between PR2/4/6 and TMR2/4/6.
Equation 28-2 is used to calculate the PWM pulse
width.
Equation 28-3 is used to calculate the PWM duty cycle
ratio.

PULSE WIDTH
The resolution determines the number of available duty
cycles for a given period. For example, a 10-bit resolution
will result in 1024 discrete duty cycles, whereas an 8-bit
resolution will result in 256 discrete duty cycles.

EQUATION 28-3:
PWM RESOLUTION
The maximum PWM resolution is ten bits when PRx is
255. The resolution is a function of the PRx register
value as shown by Equation 28-4.

log  2 
The CCPRxH:CCPRxL register pair and a 2-bit internal
latch are used to double buffer the PWM duty cycle.
This double buffering is essential for glitchless PWM
operation.
The 8-bit timer TMR2/4/6 register is concatenated with
either the 2-bit internal system clock (FOSC), or two bits
of the prescaler, to create the 10-bit time base. The
system clock is used if the Timer2/4/6 prescaler is set to
1:1.
PWM RESOLUTION
Note:
If the pulse-width value is greater than the
period the assigned PWM pin(s) will
remain unchanged.
When the 10-bit time base matches the
CCPRxH:CCPRxL register pair, then the CCPx pin is
cleared (see Figure 28-4).

OPERATION IN SLEEP MODE
28.4.8
In Sleep mode, the TMR2/4/6 register will not increment and the state of the module will not change. If the
CCPx pin is driving a value, it will continue to drive that
value. When the device wakes up, TMR2/4/6 will
continue from its previous state.
CHANGES IN SYSTEM CLOCK
FREQUENCY
The PWM frequency is derived from the system clock
frequency. Any changes in the system clock frequency
will result in changes to the PWM frequency. See
Section 6.0 “Oscillator Module (with Fail-Safe
Clock Monitor)” for additional details.
28.4.9
EFFECTS OF RESET
Any Reset will force all ports to Input mode and the
CCP registers to their Reset states.

SPI Mode Overview
The Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) bus is a
synchronous serial data communication bus that
operates in Full-Duplex mode. Devices communicate
in a master/slave environment where the master device
initiates the communication. A slave device is
controlled through a Chip Select known as Slave
Select.
The SPI bus specifies four signal connections:
•
•
•
•
During each SPI clock cycle, a full-duplex data
transmission occurs. This means that while the master
device is sending out the MSb from its shift register (on
its SDO pin) and the slave device is reading this bit and
saving it as the LSb of its shift register, that the slave
device is also sending out the MSb from its shift
register (on its SDO pin) and the master device is
reading this bit and saving it as the LSb of its shift
register.
After eight bits have been shifted out, the master and
slave have exchanged register values.
Serial Clock (SCK)
Serial Data Out (SDO)
Serial Data In (SDI)
Slave Select (SS)
If there is more data to exchange, the shift registers are
loaded with new data and the process repeats itself.
Figure 29-1 shows the block diagram of the MSSP
module when operating in SPI mode.
The SPI bus operates with a single master device and
one or more slave devices. When multiple slave
devices are used, an independent Slave Select
connection is required from the master device to each
slave device.
Figure 29-4 shows a typical connection between a
master device and multiple slave devices.
The master selects only one slave at a time. Most slave
devices have tri-state outputs so their output signal
appears disconnected from the bus when they are not
selected.
Transmissions involve two shift registers, eight bits in
size, one in the master and one in the slave. With either
the master or the slave device, data is always shifted
out one bit at a time, with the Most Significant bit (MSb)
shifted out first. At the same time, a new Least
Significant bit (LSb) is shifted into the same register.
Whether the data is meaningful or not (dummy data),
depends on the application software. This leads to
three scenarios for data transmission:
• Master sends useful data and slave sends
dummy data.
• Master sends useful data and slave sends useful
data.
• Master sends dummy data and slave sends useful
data.
Transmissions may involve any number of clock
cycles. When there is no more data to be transmitted,
the master stops sending the clock signal and it
deselects the slave.
Every slave device connected to the bus that has not
been selected through its slave select line must disregard the clock and transmission signals and must not
transmit out any data of its own.
Figure 29-5 shows a typical connection between two
processors configured as master and slave devices.
Data is shifted out of both shift registers on the
programmed clock edge and latched on the opposite
edge of the clock.
The master device transmits information out on its SDO
output pin which is connected to, and received by, the
slave’s SDI input pin. The slave device transmits information out on its SDO output pin, which is connected
to, and received by, the master’s SDI input pin.
To begin communication, the master device first sends
out the clock signal. Both the master and the slave
devices should be configured for the same clock polarity.
The master device starts a transmission by sending out
the MSb from its shift register. The slave device reads
this bit from that same line and saves it into the LSb
position of its shift register.

SPI MODE REGISTERS
29.2.2
The MSSP module has five registers for SPI mode
operation. These are:
•
•
•
•
•
•
MSSP1 STATUS register (SSP1STAT)
MSSP1 Control register 1 (SSP1CON1)
MSSP1 Control register 3 (SSP1CON3)
MSSP1 Data Buffer register (SSP1BUF)
MSSP1 Address register (SSP1ADD)
MSSP1 Shift register (SSP1SR)
(Not directly accessible)
SSP1CON1 and SSPSTAT are the control
STATUS registers in SPI mode operation.
SSP1CON1 register is readable and writable.
lower six bits of the SSP1STAT are read-only.
upper two bits of the SSP1STAT are read/write.
When initializing the SPI, several options need to be
specified. This is done by programming the appropriate
control bits (SSP1CON1<5:0> and SSP1STAT<7:6>).
These control bits allow the following to be specified:
•

The
In one SPI Master mode, SSP1ADD can be loaded
with a value used in the Baud Rate Generator. More
information on the Baud Rate Generator is available in
Section 29.7 “Baud Rate Generator”.
SSP1SR is the shift register used for shifting data in
and out. SSP1BUF provides indirect access to the
SSP1SR register. SSP1BUF is the buffer register to
which data bytes are written, and from which data
bytes are read.
In receive operations, SSP1SR and SSP1BUF
together create a buffered receiver. When SSP1SR
receives a complete byte, it is transferred to SSP1BUF
and the SSP1IF interrupt is set.
During transmission, the SSP1BUF is not buffered. A
write to SSP1BUF will write to both SSP1BUF and
SSP1SR.

SPI MODE OPERATION
Master mode (SCK is the clock output)
Slave mode (SCK is the clock input)
Clock Polarity (Idle state of SCK)
Data Input Sample Phase (middle or end of data
output time)
• Clock Edge (output data on rising/falling edge of
SCK)
• Clock Rate (Master mode only)
• Slave Select mode (Slave mode only)
To enable the serial port, SSP Enable bit, SSPEN of
the SSP1CON1 register, must be set. To reset or
reconfigure SPI mode, clear the SSPEN bit, re-initialize
the SSP1CONy registers and then set the SSPEN bit.
This configures the SDI, SDO, SCK and SS pins as
serial port pins. For the pins to behave as the serial port
function, some must have their data direction bits (in
the TRIS register) appropriately programmed as
follows:
• SDI must have corresponding TRIS bit set
• SDO must have corresponding TRIS bit cleared
• SCK (Master mode) must have corresponding
TRIS bit cleared
• SCK (Slave mode) must have corresponding
TRIS bit set
• SS must have corresponding TRIS bit set
Any serial port function that is not desired may be
overridden by programming the corresponding data
direction (TRIS) register to the opposite value.

The MSSP consists of a transmit/receive shift register
(SSP1SR) and a buffer register (SSP1BUF). The
SSP1SR shifts the data in and out of the device, MSb
first. The SSP1BUF holds the data that was written to
the SSP1SR until the received data is ready. Once the
eight bits of data have been received, that byte is
moved to the SSP1BUF register. Then, the Buffer Full
Detect bit, BF of the SSP1STAT register, and the
interrupt flag bit, SSP1IF, are set. This double-buffering
of the received data (SSP1BUF) allows the next byte to
start reception before reading the data that was just
received. Any write to the SSP1BUF register during
transmission/reception of data will be ignored and the
write collision detect bit WCOL of the SSP1CON1
register, will be set. User software must clear the
WCOL bit to allow the following write(s) to the
SSP1BUF register to complete successfully.
FIGURE 29-5:
When the application software is expecting to receive
valid data, the SSP1BUF should be read before the
next byte of data to transfer is written to the SSP1BUF.
The Buffer Full bit, BF of the SSP1STAT register,
indicates when SSP1BUF has been loaded with the
received data (transmission is complete). When the
SSP1BUF 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.
The SSP1SR is not directly readable or writable and
can only be accessed by addressing the SSP1BUF
register. Additionally, the SSP1STAT register indicates
the various Status conditions.

SPI MASTER MODE
The master can initiate the data transfer at any time
because it controls the SCK line. The master
determines when the slave (Processor 2, Figure 29-5)
is to broadcast data by the software protocol.
In Master mode, the data is transmitted/received as
soon as the SSP1BUF register is written to. If the SPI
is only going to receive, the SDO output could be
disabled (programmed as an input). The SSP1SR
register will continue to shift in the signal present on the
SDI pin at the programmed clock rate. As each byte is
received, it will be loaded into the SSP1BUF register as
if a normal received byte (interrupts and Status bits
appropriately set).
The clock polarity is selected by appropriately
programming the CKP bit of the SSP1CON1 register
and the CKE bit of the SSP1STAT register. This then,
would give waveforms for SPI communication as
shown in Figure 29-6, Figure 29-8, Figure 29-9 and
Figure 29-10, where the 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
FOSC/(4 * (SSPADD + 1))
Figure 29-6 shows the waveforms for Master mode.
When the CKE bit is set, the SDO data is valid before
there is a clock edge on SCK. The change of the input
sample is shown based on the state of the SMP bit. The
time when the SSP1BUF is loaded with the received
data is shown.

SPI SLAVE MODE
29.2.5
In Slave mode, the data is transmitted and received as
external clock pulses appear on SCK. When the last
bit is latched, the SSP1IF interrupt flag bit is set.
Before enabling the module in SPI Slave mode, the clock
line must match the proper Idle state. The clock line can
be observed by reading the SCK pin. The Idle state is
determined by the CKP bit of the SSP1CON1 register.
While in Slave mode, the external clock is supplied by
the external clock source on the SCK pin. This external
clock must meet the minimum high and low times as
specified in the electrical specifications.
While in Sleep mode, the slave can transmit/receive
data. The shift register is clocked from the SCK pin
input and when a byte is received, the device will
generate an interrupt. If enabled, the device will
wake-up from Sleep.
29.2.4.1
Daisy-Chain Configuration
The SPI bus can sometimes be connected in a
daisy-chain configuration. The first slave output is
connected to the second slave input, the second slave
output is connected to the third slave input, and so on.
The final slave output is connected to the master input.
Each slave sends out, during a second group of clock
pulses, an exact copy of what was received during the
first group of clock pulses. The whole chain acts as
one large communication shift register. The
daisy-chain feature only requires a single Slave Select
line from the master device.
Figure 29-7 shows the block diagram of a typical
daisy-chain connection when operating in SPI mode.
In a daisy-chain configuration, only the most recent
byte on the bus is required by the slave. Setting the
BOEN bit of the SSP1CON3 register will enable writes
to the SSP1BUF register, even if the previous byte has
not been read. This allows the software to ignore data
that may not apply to it.
SLAVE SELECT
SYNCHRONIZATION
The Slave Select can also be used to synchronize
communication. The Slave Select line is held high until
the master device is ready to communicate. When the
Slave Select line is pulled low, the slave knows that a
new transmission is starting.
If the slave fails to receive the communication properly,
it will be reset at the end of the transmission, when the
Slave Select line returns to a high state. The slave is
then ready to receive a new transmission when the
Slave Select line is pulled low again. If the Slave Select
line is not used, there is a risk that the slave will
eventually become out of sync with the master. If the
slave misses a bit, it will always be one bit off in future
transmissions. Use of the Slave Select line allows the
slave and master to align themselves at the beginning
of each transmission.
The SS pin allows a Synchronous Slave mode. The
SPI must be in Slave mode with SS pin control enabled
(SSP1CON1<3:0> = 0100).
When the SS pin is low, transmission and reception are
enabled and the SDO pin is driven.
When the SS pin goes high, the SDO pin is no longer
driven, even if in the middle of a transmitted byte and
becomes a floating output. External pull-up/pull-down
resistors may be desirable depending on the application.
Note 1: When the SPI is in Slave mode with SS pin
control enabled (SSP1CON1<3:0> =
0100), the SPI module will reset if the SS
pin is set to VDD.
2: When the SPI is used in Slave mode with
CKE set; the user must enable SS pin
control.
3: While operated in SPI Slave mode the
SMP bit of the SSP1STAT register must
remain clear.
When the SPI module resets, the bit counter is forced
to ‘0’. This can be done by either forcing the SS pin to
a high level or clearing the SSPEN bit.

SPI OPERATION IN SLEEP MODE
In SPI Master mode, module clocks may be operating
at a different speed than when in Full-Power mode; in
the case of the Sleep mode, all clocks are halted.
Special care must be taken by the user when the
MSSP clock is much faster than the system clock.
In Slave mode, when MSSP interrupts are enabled,
after the master completes sending data, an MSSP
interrupt will wake the controller from Sleep.
If an exit from Sleep mode is not desired, MSSP
interrupts should be disabled.
In SPI Master mode, when 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 Sleep mode and data
to be shifted into the SPI Transmit/Receive Shift
register. When all eight bits have been received, the
MSSP interrupt flag bit will be set and if enabled, will
wake the device.
29.3 I2C Mode Overview
To begin communication, a master device starts out in
Master Transmit mode. The master device sends out a
Start bit followed by the address byte of the slave it
intends to communicate with. This is followed by a
single Read/Write bit, which determines whether the
master intends to transmit to or receive data from the
slave device.
If the requested slave exists on the bus, it will respond
with an Acknowledge bit, otherwise known as an ACK.
The master then continues in either Transmit mode or
Receive mode and the slave continues in the complement, either in Receive mode or Transmit mode,
respectively.
A Start bit is indicated by a high-to-low transition of the
SDA line while the SCL line is held high. Address and
data bytes are sent out, Most Significant bit (MSb) first.
The Read/Write bit is sent out as a logical one when the
master intends to read data from the slave, and is sent
out as a logical zero when it intends to write data to the
slave.
FIGURE 29-11:
I2C™ MASTER/
SLAVE CONNECTION
VDD
The Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C) bus is a multi-master
serial data communication bus. Devices communicate
in a master/slave environment where the master
devices initiate the communication. A slave device is
controlled through addressing.
SCL
VDD
Master
The I2C bus specifies two signal connections:
SCL
Slave
SDA
SDA
• Serial Clock (SCL)
• Serial Data (SDA)
Figure 29-11 shows the block diagram of the MSSP
module when operating in I2C mode.
Both the SCL and SDA connections are bidirectional
open-drain lines, each requiring pull-up resistors for the
supply voltage. Pulling the line to ground is considered
a logical zero and letting the line float is considered a
logical one.
Figure 29-11 shows a typical connection between two
processors configured as master and slave devices.
The I2C bus can operate with one or more master
devices and one or more slave devices.
There are four potential modes of operation for a given
device:
• Master Transmit mode
(master is transmitting data to a slave)
• Master Receive mode
(master is receiving data from a slave)
• Slave Transmit mode
(slave is transmitting data to a master)
• Slave Receive mode
(slave is receiving data from the master)
DS40001800A-page 320
The Acknowledge bit (ACK) is an active-low signal,
which holds the SDA line low to indicate to the
transmitter that the slave device has received the
transmitted data and is ready to receive more.
The transition of a data bit is always performed while
the SCL line is held low. Transitions that occur while the
SCL line is held high are used to indicate Start and Stop
bits.
If the master intends to write to the slave, then it
repeatedly sends out a byte of data, with the slave
responding after each byte with an ACK bit. In this
example, the master device is in Master Transmit mode
and the slave is in Slave Receive mode.
If the master intends to read from the slave, then it
repeatedly receives a byte of data from the slave, and
responds after each byte with an ACK bit. In this example, the master device is in Master Receive mode and
the slave is Slave Transmit mode.
Preliminary
 2015 Microchip Technology Inc.
PIC16(L)F18324/18344
On the last byte of data communicated, the master
device may end the transmission by sending a Stop bit.
If the master device is in Receive mode, it sends the
Stop bit in place of the last ACK bit. A Stop bit is
indicated by a low-to-high transition of the SDA line
while the SCL line is held high.
In some cases, the master may want to maintain
control of the bus and re-initiate another transmission.
If so, the master device may send another Start bit in
place of the Stop bit or last ACK bit when it is in Receive
mode.
The I2C bus specifies three message protocols;
• Single message where a master writes data to a
slave.
• Single message where a master reads data from
a slave.
• Combined message where a master initiates a
minimum of two writes, or two reads, or a
combination of writes and reads, to one or more
slaves.
When one device is transmitting a logical one, or letting
the line float, and a second device is transmitting a logical zero, or holding the line low, the first device can
detect that the line is not a logical one. This detection,
when used on the SCL line, is called clock stretching.
Clock stretching gives slave devices a mechanism to
control the flow of data. When this detection is used on
the SDA line, it is called arbitration. Arbitration ensures
that there is only one master device communicating at
any single time.
29.3.1
CLOCK STRETCHING
When a slave device has not completed processing
data, it can delay the transfer of more data through the
process of clock stretching. An addressed slave device
may hold the SCL clock line low after receiving or sending a bit, indicating that it is not yet ready to continue.
The master that is communicating with the slave will
attempt to raise the SCL line in order to transfer the
next bit, but will detect that the clock line has not yet
been released. Because the SCL connection is
open-drain, the slave has the ability to hold that line low
until it is ready to continue communicating.
Clock stretching allows receivers that cannot keep up
with a transmitter to control the flow of incoming data.
 2015 Microchip Technology Inc.
29.3.2
ARBITRATION
Each master device must monitor the bus for Start and
Stop bits. If the device detects that the bus is busy, it
cannot begin a new message until the bus returns to an
Idle state.
However, two master devices may try to initiate a
transmission on or about the same time. When this
occurs, the process of arbitration begins. Each
transmitter checks the level of the SDA data line and
compares it to the level that it expects to find. The first
transmitter to observe that the two levels do not match,
loses arbitration, and must stop transmitting on the
SDA line.
For example, if one transmitter holds the SDA line to a
logical one (lets it float) and a second transmitter holds
it to a logical zero (pulls it low), the result is that the
SDA line will be low. The first transmitter then observes
that the level of the line is different than expected and
concludes that another transmitter is communicating.
The first transmitter to notice this difference is the one
that loses arbitration and must stop driving the SDA
line. If this transmitter is also a master device, it also
must stop driving the SCL line. It then can monitor the
lines for a Stop condition before trying to reissue its
transmission. In the meantime, the other device that
has not noticed any difference between the expected
and actual levels on the SDA line continues with its
original transmission. It can do so without any complications, because so far, the transmission appears
exactly as expected with no other transmitter disturbing
the message.
Slave Transmit mode can also be arbitrated, when a
master addresses multiple slaves, but this is less
common.
If two master devices are sending a message to two
different slave devices at the address stage, the master
sending the lower slave address always wins arbitration. When two master devices send messages to the
same slave address, and addresses can sometimes
refer to multiple slaves, the arbitration process must
continue into the data stage.
Arbitration usually occurs very rarely, but it is a
necessary process for proper multi-master support.

I2C MODE OPERATION
29.4.4
All MSSP I2C communication is byte oriented and
shifted out MSb first. Six SFR registers and two
interrupt flags interface the module with the PIC®
microcontroller and user software. Two pins, SDA and
SCL, are exercised by the module to communicate
with other external I2C devices.
29.4.1
The clock signal, SCL, is provided by the master. Data
is valid to change while the SCL signal is low, and
sampled on the rising edge of the clock. Changes on
the SDA line while the SCL line is high define special
conditions on the bus, explained below.
DEFINITION OF I2C TERMINOLOGY
There is language and terminology in the description
of I2C communication that have definitions specific to
I2C. That word usage is defined below and may be
used in the rest of this document without explanation.
This table was adapted from the Philips I2C
specification.
29.4.3
SDA AND SCL PINS
Selection of any I2C mode with the SSPEN bit set,
forces the SCL and SDA pins to be open-drain. These
pins should be set by the user to inputs by setting the
appropriate TRIS bits.
Note 1: Data is tied to output zero when an I
mode is enabled.
The hold time of the SDA pin is selected by the SDAHT
bit of the SSP1CON3 register. Hold time is the time
SDA is held valid after the falling edge of SCL. Setting
the SDAHT bit selects a longer 300 ns minimum hold
time and may help on buses with large capacitance.
TABLE 29-1:
BYTE FORMAT
All communication in I2C is done in 9-bit segments. A
byte is sent from a master to a slave or vice-versa, followed by an Acknowledge bit sent back. After the
eighth falling edge of the SCL line, the device outputting data on the SDA changes that pin to an input and
reads in an acknowledge value on the next clock
pulse.
29.4.2
SDA HOLD TIME
2C™
2: Any device pin can be selected for SDA
and SCL functions with the PPS peripheral.
These functions are bidirectional. The SDA
input is selected with the SSPDATPPS
registers. The SCL input is selected with
the SSPCLKPPS registers. Outputs are
selected with the RxyPPS registers. It is the
user’s responsibility to make the selections
so that both the input and the output for
each function is on the same pin.

START CONDITION
29.4.7
2
The I C specification defines a Start condition as a
transition of SDA from a high to a low state while SCL
line is high. A Start condition is always generated by
the master and signifies the transition of the bus from
an Idle to an Active state. Figure 29-12 shows wave
forms for Start and Stop conditions.
A Restart is valid any time that a Stop would be valid.
A master can issue a Restart if it wishes to hold the
bus after terminating the current transfer. A Restart
has the same effect on the slave that a Start would,
resetting all slave logic and preparing it to clock in an
address. The master may want to address the same or
another slave. Figure 29-13 shows the wave form for a
Restart condition.
A bus collision can occur on a Start condition if the
module samples the SDA line low before asserting it
low. This does not conform to the I2C Specification
that states no bus collision can occur on a Start.
29.4.6
RESTART CONDITION
In 10-bit Addressing Slave mode a Restart is required
for the master to clock data out of the addressed
slave. Once a slave has been fully addressed, matching both high and low address bytes, the master can
issue a Restart and the high address byte with the
R/W bit set. The slave logic will then hold the clock
and prepare to clock out data.
STOP CONDITION
A Stop condition is a transition of the SDA line from
low-to-high state while the SCL line is high.
Note: At least one SCL low time must appear
before a Stop is valid, therefore, if the SDA
line goes low then high again while the SCL
line stays high, only the Start condition is
detected.
After a full match with R/W clear in 10-bit mode, a prior
match flag is set and maintained until a Stop condition, a
high address with R/W clear, or high address match fails.
29.4.8
START/STOP CONDITION
INTERRUPT MASKING
The SCIE and PCIE bits of the SSP1CON3 register
can enable the generation of an interrupt in Slave
modes that do not typically support this function. Slave
modes where interrupt on Start and Stop detect are
already enabled, these bits will have no effect.

29.4.9
ACKNOWLEDGE SEQUENCE
29.5
The ninth SCL pulse for any transferred byte in I2C is
dedicated as an Acknowledge. It allows receiving
devices to respond back to the transmitter by pulling
the SDA line low. The transmitter must release control
of the line during this time to shift in the response. The
Acknowledge (ACK) is an active-low signal, pulling the
SDA line low indicates to the transmitter that the
device has received the transmitted data and is ready
to receive more.
The result of an ACK is placed in the ACKSTAT bit of
the SSP1CON2 register.
Slave software, when the AHEN and DHEN bits are
set, allow the user to set the ACK value sent back to
the transmitter. The ACKDT bit of the SSP1CON2
register is set/cleared to determine the response.
Slave hardware will generate an ACK response if the
AHEN and DHEN bits of the SSP1CON3 register are
clear.
There are certain conditions where an ACK will not be
sent by the slave. If the BF bit of the SSP1STAT
register or the SSPOV bit of the SSP1CON1 register
are set when a byte is received.
When the module is addressed, after the eighth falling
edge of SCL on the bus, the ACKTIM bit of the
SSP1CON3 register is set. The ACKTIM bit indicates
the acknowledge time of the active bus. The ACKTIM
Status bit is only active when the AHEN bit or DHEN
bit is enabled.
I2C SLAVE MODE OPERATION
The MSSP Slave mode operates in one of four modes
selected by the SSPM bits of SSP1CON1 register. The
modes can be divided into 7-bit and 10-bit Addressing
mode. 10-bit Addressing modes operate the same as
7-bit with some additional overhead for handling the
larger addresses.
Modes with Start and Stop bit interrupts operate the
same as the other modes with SSP1IF additionally
getting set upon detection of a Start, Restart, or Stop
condition.
29.5.1
SLAVE MODE ADDRESSES
The SSP1ADD register (Register 29-6) contains the
Slave mode address. The first byte received after a
Start or Restart condition is compared against the
value stored in this register. If the byte matches, the
value is loaded into the SSP1BUF register and an
interrupt is generated. If the value does not match, the
module goes idle and no indication is given to the
software that anything happened.
The SSP Mask register (Register 29-5) affects the
address matching process. See Section 29.5.9 “SSP
Mask Register” for more information.
29.5.1.1
I2C Slave 7-Bit Addressing Mode
In 7-bit Addressing mode, the LSb of the received data
byte is ignored when determining if there is an address
match.
29.5.1.2
I2C Slave 10-Bit Addressing Mode
In 10-bit Addressing mode, the first received byte is
compared to the binary value of ‘1 1 1 1 0 A9 A8 0’. A9
and A8 are the two MSb’s of the 10-bit address and
stored in bits 2 and 1 of the SSP1ADD register.
After the acknowledge of the high byte the UA bit is set
and SCL is held low until the user updates SSP1ADD
with the low address. The low address byte is clocked
in and all eight bits are compared to the low address
value in SSP1ADD. Even if there is not an address
match; SSPIF and UA are set, and SCL is held low
until SSP1ADD is updated to receive a high byte
again. When SSP1ADD is updated the UA bit is
cleared. This ensures the module is ready to receive
the high address byte on the next communication.
A high and low address match as a write request is
required at the start of all 10-bit addressing communication. A transmission can be initiated by issuing a
Restart once the slave is addressed, and clocking in
the high address with the R/W bit set. The slave
hardware will then acknowledge the read request and
prepare to clock out data. This is only valid for a slave
after it has received a complete high and low address
byte match.

SLAVE RECEPTION
29.5.2.2
When the R/W bit of a matching received address byte
is clear, the R/W bit of the SSP1STAT register is
cleared. The received address is loaded into the
SSP1BUF register and acknowledged.
When the Overflow condition exists for a received
address, then not Acknowledge is given. An Overflow
condition is defined as either bit BF of the SSP1STAT
register is set, or bit SSPOV of the SSP1CON1 register
is set. The BOEN bit of the SSP1CON3 register modifies this operation. For more information see
Register 29-4.
An MSSP interrupt is generated for each transferred
data byte. Flag bit, SSP1IF, must be cleared by
software.
When the SEN bit of the SSP1CON2 register is set,
SCL will be held low (clock stretch) following each
received byte. The clock must be released by setting
the CKP bit of the SSP1CON1 register, except
sometimes in 10-bit mode. See Section 29.5.6.2
“10-Bit Addressing Mode” for more detail.

7-Bit Reception with AHEN and
DHEN
Slave device reception with AHEN and DHEN set
operate the same as without these options with extra
interrupts and clock stretching added after the eighth
falling edge of SCL. These additional interrupts allow
the slave software to decide whether it wants to ACK
the receive address or data byte, rather than the hardware. This functionality adds support for PMBus™ that
was not present on previous versions of this module.
This list describes the steps that need to be taken by
slave software to use these options for I2C communication. Figure 29-16 displays a module using both
address and data holding. Figure 29-17 includes the
operation with the SEN bit of the SSP1CON2 register
set.
1.
S bit of SSP1STAT is set; SSP1IF is set if interrupt on Start detect is enabled.
2. Matching address with R/W bit clear is clocked
in. SSP1IF is set and CKP cleared after the
eighth falling edge of SCL.
3. Slave clears the SSP1IF.
4. Slave can look at the ACKTIM bit of the
SSP1CON3 register to determine if the SSP1IF
was after or before the ACK.
5. Slave reads the address value from SSP1BUF,
clearing the BF flag.
6. Slave sets ACK value clocked out to the master
by setting ACKDT.
7. Slave releases the clock by setting CKP.
8. SSP1IF is set after an ACK, not after a NACK.
9. If SEN = 1 the slave hardware will stretch the
clock after the ACK.
10. Slave clears SSP1IF.
Note: SSP1IF is still set after the ninth falling edge
of SCL even if there is no clock stretching
and BF has been cleared. Only if NACK is
sent to master is SSPIF not set
11. SSP1IF set and CKP cleared after eighth falling
edge of SCL for a received data byte.
12. Slave looks at ACKTIM bit of SSP1CON3 to
determine the source of the interrupt.
13. Slave reads the received data from SSP1BUF
clearing BF.
14. Steps 7-14 are the same for each received data
byte.
15. Communication is ended by either the slave
sending an ACK = 1, or the master sending a
Stop condition. If a Stop is sent and Interrupt on
Stop Detect is disabled, the slave will only know
by polling the P bit of the SSP1STAT register.

SLAVE TRANSMISSION
29.5.3.2
7-Bit Transmission
When the R/W bit of the incoming address byte is set
and an address match occurs, the R/W bit of the
SSP1STAT register is set. The received address is
loaded into the SSP1BUF register, and an ACK pulse
is sent by the slave on the ninth bit.
A master device can transmit a read request to a
slave, and then clock data out of the slave. The list
below outlines what software for a slave will need to
do to accomplish a standard transmission.
Figure 29-18 can be used as a reference to this list.
Following the ACK, slave hardware clears the CKP bit
and the SCL pin is held low (see Section 29.5.6
“Clock Stretching” for more detail). By stretching the
clock, the master will be unable to assert another clock
pulse until the slave is done preparing the transmit
data.
1.
The transmit data must be loaded into the SSP1BUF
register which also loads the SSP1SR register. Then
the SCL pin should be released by setting the CKP bit
of the SSP1CON1 register. The eight data bits are
shifted out on the falling edge of the SCL input. This
ensures that the SDA signal is valid during the SCL
high time.
The ACK pulse from the master-receiver is latched on
the rising edge of the ninth SCL input pulse. This ACK
value is copied to the ACKSTAT bit of the SSP1CON2
register. If ACKSTAT is set (not ACK), then the data
transfer is complete. In this case, when the not ACK is
latched by the slave, the slave goes idle and waits for
another occurrence of the Start bit. If the SDA line was
low (ACK), the next transmit data must be loaded into
the SSP1BUF register. Again, the SCL pin must be
released by setting bit CKP.
An MSSP interrupt is generated for each data transfer
byte. The SSP1IF bit must be cleared by software and
the SSP1STAT register is used to determine the status
of the byte. The SSP1IF bit is set on the falling edge of
the ninth clock pulse.
29.5.3.1
Slave Mode Bus Collision
A slave receives a Read request and begins shifting
data out on the SDA line. If a bus collision is detected
and the SBCDE bit of the SSP1CON3 register is set,
the BCLIF bit of the PIR register is set. Once a bus collision is detected, the slave goes idle and waits to be
addressed again. User software can use the BCLIF bit
to handle a slave bus collision.
DS40001800A-page 330
Master sends a Start condition on SDA and
SCL.
2. S bit of SSP1STAT is set; SSP1IF is set if
interrupt on Start detect is enabled.
3. Matching address with R/W bit set is received by
the Slave setting SSP1IF bit.
4. Slave hardware generates an ACK and sets
SSP1IF.
5. SSP1IF bit is cleared by user.
6. Software reads the received address from
SSP1BUF, clearing BF.
7. R/W is set so CKP was automatically cleared
after the ACK.
8. The slave software loads the transmit data into
SSP1BUF.
9. CKP bit is set releasing SCL, allowing the
master to clock the data out of the slave.
10. SSP1IF is set after the ACK response from the
master is loaded into the ACKSTAT register.
11. SSP1IF bit is cleared.
12. The slave software checks the ACKSTAT bit to
see if the master wants to clock out more data.
Note 1: If the master ACKs the clock will be
stretched.
2: ACKSTAT is the only bit updated on the
rising edge of SCL (9th) rather than the
falling.
13. Steps 9-13 are repeated for each transmitted
byte.
14. If the master sends a not ACK; the clock is not
held, but SSP1IF is still set.
15. The master sends a Restart condition or a Stop.
16. The slave is no longer addressed.

16. Steps 10-15 are repeated for each byte transmitted to the master from the slave.
17. If the master sends a not ACK the slave
releases the bus allowing the master to send a

CLOCK STRETCHING
29.5.6.2
Clock stretching occurs when a device on the bus
holds the SCL line low, effectively pausing communication. The slave may stretch the clock to allow more
time to handle data or prepare a response for the
master device. A master device is not concerned with
stretching as anytime it is active on the bus and not
transferring data it is stretching. Any stretching done
by a slave is invisible to the master software and
handled by the hardware that generates SCL.
The CKP bit of the SSP1CON1 register is used to
control stretching in software. Any time the CKP bit is
cleared, the module will wait for the SCL line to go low
and then hold it. Setting CKP will release SCL and
allow more communication.
29.5.6.1
Normal Clock Stretching
Following an ACK if the R/W bit of SSP1STAT is set, a
read request, the slave hardware will clear CKP. This
allows the slave time to update SSP1BUF with data to
transfer to the master. If the SEN bit of SSP1CON2 is
set, the slave hardware will always stretch the clock
after the ACK sequence. Once the slave is ready; CKP
is set by software and communication resumes.
Note 1: The BF bit has no effect on if the clock will
be stretched or not. This is different than
previous versions of the module that
would not stretch the clock, clear CKP, if
SSP1BUF was read before the ninth
falling edge of SCL.
2: Previous versions of the module did not
stretch the clock for a transmission if
SSP1BUF was loaded before the ninth
falling edge of SCL. It is now always
cleared for read requests.
FIGURE 29-23:
10-Bit Addressing Mode
In 10-bit Addressing mode, when the UA bit is set the
clock is always stretched. This is the only time the SCL
is stretched without CKP being cleared. SCL is
released immediately after a write to SSP1ADD.
Note: Previous versions of the module did not
stretch the clock if the second address byte
did not match.
29.5.6.3
Byte NACKing
When AHEN bit of SSP1CON3 is set; CKP is cleared
by hardware after the eighth falling edge of SCL for a
received matching address byte. When DHEN bit of
SSP1CON3 is set; CKP is cleared after the eighth
falling edge of SCL for received data.
Stretching after the eighth falling edge of SCL allows
the slave to look at the received address or data and
decide if it wants to ACK the received data.
29.5.7
CLOCK SYNCHRONIZATION AND
THE CKP BIT
Any time the CKP bit is cleared, the module will wait
for the SCL line to go low and then hold it. However,
clearing the CKP bit will not assert the SCL output low
until the SCL output is already sampled low. Therefore, the CKP bit will not assert the SCL line until an
external I2C master device has already asserted the
SCL line. The SCL output will remain low until the CKP
bit is set and all other devices on the I2C bus have
released SCL. This ensures that a write to the CKP bit
will not violate the minimum high time requirement for
SCL (see Figure 29-23).

GENERAL CALL ADDRESS
SUPPORT
the R/W bit clear, an interrupt is generated and slave
software can read SSP1BUF and respond.
Figure 29-24 shows a general call reception
sequence.
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 device. 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.
In 10-bit Address mode, the UA bit will not be set on
the reception of the general call address. The slave
will prepare to receive the second byte as data, just as
it would in 7-bit mode.
If the AHEN bit of the SSP1CON3 register is set, just
as with any other address reception, the slave hardware will stretch the clock after the eighth falling edge
of SCL. The slave must then set its ACKDT value and
release the clock with communication progressing as it
would normally.
The general call address is a reserved address in the
I2C protocol, defined as address 0x00. When the
GCEN bit of the SSP1CON2 register is set, the slave
module will automatically ACK the reception of this
address regardless of the value stored in SSP1ADD.
After the slave clocks in an address of all zeros with

SSP MASK REGISTER
An SSP Mask (SSPMSK) register (Register 29-5) is
available in I2C Slave mode as a mask for the value
held in the SSP1SR register during an address
comparison operation. A zero (‘0’) bit in the SSP1MSK
register has the effect of making the corresponding bit
of the received address a “don’t care”.
This register is reset to all ‘1’s upon any Reset
condition and, therefore, has no effect on standard
SSP operation until written with a mask value.
The SSP Mask register is active during:
• 7-bit Address mode: address compare of A<7:1>.
• 10-bit Address mode: address compare of A<7:0>
only. The SSP mask has no effect during the
reception of the first (high) byte of the address.

I2C Master Mode
29.6.1
Master mode is enabled by setting and clearing the
appropriate SSPM<3:0> bits in the SSP1CON1 register and by setting the SSPEN bit. In Master mode, the
SDA and SCK pins must be configured as inputs. The
MSSP peripheral hardware will override the output
driver TRIS controls when necessary to drive the pins
low.
Master mode of operation is supported by interrupt
generation on the detection of the Start and Stop
conditions. The Stop (P) and Start (S) bits are cleared
from a Reset or when the MSSP module is disabled.
Control of the I 2C bus may be taken when the P bit is
set, or the bus is Idle.
In Firmware Controlled Master mode, user code
conducts all I 2C bus operations based on Start and
Stop bit condition detection. Start and Stop condition
detection is the only active circuitry in this mode. All
other communication is done by the user software
directly manipulating the SDA and SCL lines.
The following events will cause the SSP Interrupt Flag
bit, SSP1IF, to be set (SSP interrupt, if enabled):
•
•
•
•
•
Start condition detected
Stop condition detected
Data transfer byte transmitted/received
Acknowledge transmitted/received
Repeated Start generated
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 SDA, while SCL 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 eight bits at a time. After each byte is
transmitted, an Acknowledge bit is received. Start and
Stop 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 SDA, while SCL outputs the
serial clock. Serial data is received eight bits at a time.
After each byte is received, an Acknowledge bit is
transmitted. Start and Stop conditions indicate the
beginning and end of transmission.
A Baud Rate Generator is used to set the clock
frequency output on SCL. See Section 29.7 “Baud
Rate Generator” for more detail.
Note 1: The MSSP module, when configured in
I2C™ Master mode, does not allow
queuing of events. For instance, the user
is not allowed to initiate a Start condition
and immediately write the SSP1BUF
register to initiate transmission before the
Start condition is complete. In this case,
the SSP1BUF will not be written to and
the WCOL bit will be set, indicating that a
write to the SSP1BUF did not occur
2: When in Master mode, Start/Stop
detection is masked and an interrupt is
generated when the SEN/PEN bit is
cleared and the generation is complete.

CLOCK ARBITRATION
Clock arbitration occurs when the master, during any
receive, transmit or Repeated Start/Stop condition,
releases the SCL pin (SCL allowed to float high). When
the SCL pin is allowed to float high, the Baud Rate
Generator (BRG) is suspended from counting until the
FIGURE 29-25:
SCL pin is actually sampled high. When the SCL pin is
sampled high, the Baud Rate Generator is reloaded
with the contents of SSP1ADD<7:0> and begins counting. This ensures that the SCL high time will always be
at least one BRG rollover count in the event that the
clock is held low by an external device (Figure 29-25).

I2C MASTER MODE START
CONDITION TIMING
To initiate a Start condition (Figure 29-26), the user
sets the Start Enable bit, SEN bit of the SSP1CON2
register. If the SDA and SCL pins are sampled high,
the Baud Rate Generator is reloaded with the contents
of SSP1ADD<7:0> and starts its count. If SCL and
SDA are both sampled high when the Baud Rate
Generator times out (TBRG), the SDA pin is driven low.
The action of the SDA being driven low while SCL is
high is the Start condition and causes the S bit of the
SSP1STAT register to be set. Following this, the Baud
Rate Generator is reloaded with the contents of
SSP1ADD<7:0> and resumes its count. When the
Baud Rate Generator times out (TBRG), the SEN bit of
the SSP1CON2 register will be automatically cleared
by hardware; the Baud Rate Generator is suspended,
leaving the SDA line held low and the Start condition is
complete.
Note 1: If at the beginning of the Start condition,
the SDA and SCL pins are already
sampled low, or if during the Start condition, the SCL line is sampled low before
the SDA line is driven low, a bus collision
occurs, the Bus Collision Interrupt Flag,
BCLIF, is set, the Start condition is
aborted and the I2C™ module is reset into
its Idle state.
2: The Philips I2C specification states that a
bus collision cannot occur on a Start.

START CONDITION TIMING
A Repeated Start condition (Figure 29-27) occurs when
the RSEN bit of the SSP1CON2 register is
programmed high and the master state machine is no
longer active. When the RSEN bit is set, the SCL pin is
asserted low. When the SCL pin is sampled low, the
Baud Rate Generator is loaded and begins counting.
The SDA pin is released (brought high) for one Baud
Rate Generator count (TBRG). When the Baud Rate
Generator times out, if SDA is sampled high, the SCL
pin will be deasserted (brought high). When SCL is
sampled high, the Baud Rate Generator is reloaded
and begins counting. SDA and SCL must be sampled
high for one TBRG. This action is then followed by
assertion of the SDA pin (SDA = 0) for one TBRG while
SCL is high. SCL is asserted low. Following this, the
RSEN bit of the SSP1CON2 register will be
automatically cleared and the Baud Rate Generator will
not be reloaded, leaving the SDA pin held low. As soon
as a Start condition is detected on the SDA and SCL
pins, the S bit of the SSP1STAT register will be set. The
SSP1IF bit will not be set until the Baud Rate Generator
has timed out.
Note 1: If RSEN is programmed while any other
event is in progress, it will not take effect.
2: A bus collision during the Repeated Start
condition occurs if:
• SDA is sampled low when SCL
goes from low-to-high.
• SCL goes low before SDA is
asserted low. This may indicate
that another master is attempting
to transmit a data ‘1’.

TRANSMISSION
29.6.6.3
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 SSP1BUF register. This action will
set the Buffer Full flag bit, BF, and allow the Baud Rate
Generator to begin counting and start the next
transmission. Each bit of address/data will be shifted
out onto the SDA pin after the falling edge of SCL is
asserted. SCL is held low for one Baud Rate Generator
rollover count (TBRG). Data should be valid before SCL
is released high. When the SCL pin is released high, it
is held that way for TBRG. The data on the SDA pin
must remain stable for that duration and some hold
time after the next falling edge of SCL. After the eighth
bit is shifted out (the falling edge of the eighth clock),
the BF flag is cleared and the master releases SDA.
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
ACKSTAT bit on the rising 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 SSPIF bit is set and the master
clock (Baud Rate Generator) is suspended until the
next data byte is loaded into the SSP1BUF, leaving
SCL low and SDA unchanged (Figure 29-28).
After the write to the SSP1BUF, each bit of the address
will be shifted out on the falling edge of SCL until all
seven address bits and the R/W bit are completed. On
the falling edge of the eighth clock, the master will
release the SDA pin, allowing the slave to respond with
an Acknowledge. On the falling edge of the ninth clock,
the master will sample the SDA pin to see if the address
was recognized by a slave. The status of the ACK bit is
loaded into the ACKSTAT Status bit of the SSP1CON2
register. Following the falling edge of the ninth clock
transmission of the address, the SSP1IF is set, the BF
flag is cleared and the Baud Rate Generator is turned
off until another write to the SSP1BUF takes place,
holding SCL low and allowing SDA to float.
29.6.6.1
ACKSTAT Status Flag
In Transmit mode, the ACKSTAT bit of the SSP1CON2
register 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.

Typical Transmit Sequence
The user generates a Start condition by setting
the SEN bit of the SSP1CON2 register.
SSP1IF is set by hardware on completion of the
Start.
SSP1IF is cleared by software.
The MSSP module will wait the required start
time before any other operation takes place.
The user loads the SSP1BUF with the slave
address to transmit.
Address is shifted out the SDA pin until all eight
bits are transmitted. Transmission begins as
soon as SSP1BUF is written to.
The MSSP module shifts in the ACK bit from the
slave device and writes its value into the
ACKSTAT bit of the SSP1CON2 register.
The MSSP module generates an interrupt at the
end of the ninth clock cycle by setting the
SSP1IF bit.
The user loads the SSP1BUF with eight bits of
data.
Data is shifted out the SDA pin until all eight bits
are transmitted.
The MSSP module shifts in the ACK bit from the
slave device and writes its value into the
ACKSTAT bit of the SSP1CON2 register.
Steps 8-11 are repeated for all transmitted data
bytes.
The user generates a Stop or Restart condition
by setting the PEN or RSEN bits of the
SSP1CON2 register. Interrupt is generated
once the Stop/Restart condition is complete.
In Transmit mode, the BF bit of the SSP1STAT register
is set when the CPU writes to SSP1BUF and is cleared
when all eight bits are shifted out.
29.6.6.2
WCOL Status Flag
If the user writes the SSP1BUF when a transmit is
already in progress (i.e., SSP1SR 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).
WCOL must be cleared by software before the next
transmission.

Master mode reception (Figure 29-29) is enabled by
programming the Receive Enable bit, RCEN bit of the
SSP1CON2 register.
Note:
The MSSP module must be in an Idle
state before the RCEN bit is set or the
RCEN bit will be disregarded.
The Baud Rate Generator begins counting and on each
rollover, the state of the SCL pin changes
(high-to-low/low-to-high) and data is shifted into the
SSP1SR. After the falling edge of the eighth clock, the
receive enable flag is automatically cleared, the
contents of the SSP1SR are loaded into the SSP1BUF,
the BF flag bit is set, the SSP1IF flag bit is set and the
Baud Rate Generator is suspended from counting,
holding SCL 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, ACKEN bit of the SSP1CON2 register.

Preliminary
Typical Receive Sequence:
The user generates a Start condition by setting
the SEN bit of the SSP1CON2 register.
SSP1IF is set by hardware on completion of the
Start.
SSP1IF is cleared by software.
User writes SSP1BUF with the slave address to
transmit and the R/W bit set.
Address is shifted out the SDA pin until all eight
bits are transmitted. Transmission begins as
soon as SSP1BUF is written to.
The MSSP module shifts in the ACK bit from the
slave device and writes its value into the
ACKSTAT bit of the SSP1CON2 register.
The MSSP module generates an interrupt at the
end of the ninth clock cycle by setting the
SSP1IF bit.
User sets the RCEN bit of the SSP1CON2 register and the master clocks in a byte from the slave.
After the eighth falling edge of SCL, SSP1IF and
BF are set.
Master clears SSP1IF and reads the received
byte from SSP1BUF, clears BF.
Master sets ACK value sent to slave in ACKDT
bit of the SSP1CON2 register and initiates the
ACK by setting the ACKEN bit.
Master’s ACK is clocked out to the slave and
SSP1IF is set.
User clears SSPIF.
Steps 8-13 are repeated for each received byte
from the slave.
Master sends a not ACK or Stop to end
communication.

ACKNOWLEDGE SEQUENCE
TIMING
29.6.9
A Stop bit is asserted on the SDA pin at the end of a
receive/transmit by setting the Stop Sequence Enable
bit, PEN bit of the SSP1CON2 register. At the end of a
receive/transmit, the SCL line is held low after the
falling edge of the ninth clock. When the PEN bit is set,
the master will assert the SDA line low. When the SDA
line is sampled low, the Baud Rate Generator is
reloaded and counts down to ‘0’. When the Baud Rate
Generator times out, the SCL pin will be brought high
and one TBRG (Baud Rate Generator rollover count)
later, the SDA pin will be deasserted. When the SDA
pin is sampled high while SCL is high, the P bit of the
SSP1STAT register is set. A TBRG later, the PEN bit is
cleared and the SSP1IF bit is set (Figure 29-31).
An Acknowledge sequence is enabled by setting the
Acknowledge Sequence Enable bit, ACKEN bit of the
SSP1CON2 register. When this bit is set, the SCL pin is
pulled low and the contents of the Acknowledge data bit
are presented on the SDA 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 Baud
Rate Generator then counts for one rollover period
(TBRG) and the SCL pin is deasserted (pulled high).
When the SCL pin is sampled high (clock arbitration),
the Baud Rate Generator counts for TBRG. The SCL pin
is then pulled low. Following this, the ACKEN bit is automatically cleared, the Baud Rate Generator is turned off
and the MSSP module then goes into Idle mode
(Figure 29-30).

MULTI-MASTER MODE
In Multi-Master mode, the interrupt generation on the
detection of the Start and Stop conditions allows the
determination of when the bus is free. The Stop (P) and
Start (S) bits are cleared from a Reset or when the
MSSP module is disabled. Control of the I 2C bus may
be taken when the P bit of the SSP1STAT register is
set, or the bus is Idle, with both the S and P bits clear.
When the bus is busy, enabling the SSP interrupt will
generate the interrupt when the Stop condition occurs.
In multi-master operation, the SDA line must be
monitored for arbitration to see if the signal level is the
expected output level. This check is performed by
hardware with the result placed in the BCL1IF bit.
The states where arbitration can be lost are:

•
•

MULTI -MASTER COMMUNICATION,
BUS COLLISION AND BUS
ARBITRATION
Multi-Master mode support is achieved by bus arbitration. When the master outputs address/data bits onto
the SDA pin, arbitration takes place when the master
outputs a ‘1’ on SDA, by letting SDA float high and
another master asserts a ‘0’. When the SCL pin floats
high, data should be stable. If the expected data on
SDA is a ‘1’ and the data sampled on the SDA pin is ‘0’,
then a bus collision has taken place. The master will set
the Bus Collision Interrupt Flag, BCLIF and reset the
I2C port to its Idle state (Figure 29-32).
If a transmit was in progress when the bus collision
occurred, the transmission is halted, the BF flag is
cleared, the SDA and SCL lines are deasserted and the
SSP1BUF 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 SDA and SCL
lines are deasserted and the respective control bits in
the SSP1CON2 register are cleared. 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.
The master will continue to monitor the SDA and SCL
pins. If a Stop condition occurs, the SSP1IF bit will be set.
A write to the SSP1BUF will start the transmission of
data at the first data bit, regardless of where the
transmitter left off when the bus collision occurred.
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 P bit is set in the SSP1STAT
register, or the bus is Idle and the S and P bits are
cleared.

Bus Collision During a Start
Condition
During a Start condition, a bus collision occurs if:
a)
b)
SDA or SCL are sampled low at the beginning of
the Start condition (Figure 29-33).
SCL is sampled low before SDA is asserted low
(Figure 29-34).
During a Start condition, both the SDA and the SCL
pins are monitored.
If the SDA pin is sampled low during this count, the
BRG is reset and the SDA line is asserted early
(Figure 29-35). If, however, a ‘1’ is sampled on the SDA
pin, the SDA pin is asserted low at the end of the BRG
count. The Baud Rate Generator is then reloaded and
counts down to zero; if the SCL pin is sampled as ‘0’
during this time, a bus collision does not occur. At the
end of the BRG count, the SCL pin is asserted low.
Note:
If the SDA pin is already low, or the SCL pin is already
low, then all of the following occur:
• the Start condition is aborted,
• the BCL1IF flag is set and
• the MSSP module is reset to its Idle state
(Figure 29-33).
The Start condition begins with the SDA and SCL pins
deasserted. When the SDA pin is sampled high, the
Baud Rate Generator is loaded and counts down. If the
SCL pin is sampled low while SDA 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 29-33:
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 SDA 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.

Bus Collision During a Repeated
Start Condition
counting. If SDA goes from high-to-low before the BRG
times out, no bus collision occurs because no two
masters can assert SDA at exactly the same time.
During a Repeated Start condition, a bus collision
occurs if:
a)
b)
If SCL goes from high-to-low before the BRG times out
and SDA 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 29-37.
A low level is sampled on SDA when SCL goes
from low level to high level (Case 1).
SCL goes low before SDA is asserted low,
indicating that another master is attempting to
transmit a data ‘1’ (Case 2).
If, at the end of the BRG time-out, both SCL and SDA
are still high, the SDA pin is driven low and the BRG is
reloaded and begins counting. At the end of the count,
regardless of the status of the SCL pin, the SCL pin is
driven low and the Repeated Start condition is
complete.
When the user releases SDA and the pin is allowed to
float high, the BRG is loaded with SSP1ADD and
counts down to zero. The SCL pin is then deasserted
and when sampled high, the SDA pin is sampled.
If SDA is low, a bus collision has occurred (i.e., another
master is attempting to transmit a data ‘0’, Figure 29-36).

Bus Collision During a Stop
Condition
The Stop condition begins with SDA asserted low.
When SDA is sampled low, the SCL pin is allowed to
float. When the pin is sampled high (clock arbitration),
the Baud Rate Generator is loaded with SSP1ADD and
counts down to zero. After the BRG times out, SDA is
sampled. If SDA is sampled low, a bus collision has
occurred. This is due to another master attempting to
drive a data ‘0’ (Figure 29-38). If the SCL pin is sampled
low before SDA is allowed to float high, a bus collision
occurs. This is another case of another master
attempting to drive a data ‘0’ (Figure 29-39).
Bus collision occurs during a Stop condition if:
a)
b)
After the SDA pin has been deasserted and
allowed to float high, SDA is sampled low after
the BRG has timed out (Case 1).
After the SCL pin is deasserted, SCL is sampled
low before SDA goes high (Case 2).

Baud Rate Generator
The MSSP module has a Baud Rate Generator available for clock generation in both I2C and SPI Master
modes. The Baud Rate Generator (BRG) reload value
is placed in the SSP1ADD register (Register 29-6).
When a write occurs to SSP1BUF, the Baud Rate
Generator will automatically begin counting down.
Once the given operation is complete, the internal clock
will automatically stop counting and the clock pin will
remain in its last state.
An internal signal “Reload” in Figure 29-40 triggers the
value from SSP1ADD to be loaded into the BRG
counter. This occurs twice for each oscillation of the
module clock line. The logic dictating when the reload
signal is asserted depends on the mode the MSSP is
being operated in.
Table 29-4 demonstrates clock rates based on
instruction cycles and the BRG value loaded into
SSPADD.

the SSPBUF, even if only transmitting data, to avoid setting overflow. In Master mode, the overflow bit
is not set since each new reception (and transmission) is initiated by writing to the SSPBUF register
(must be cleared in software).

The Enhanced Universal Synchronous Asynchronous
Receiver Transmitter (EUSART) module is a serial I/O
communications peripheral. It contains all the clock
generators, shift registers and data buffers necessary
to perform an input or output serial data transfer
independent of device program execution. The
EUSART, also known as a Serial Communications
Interface (SCI), can be configured as a full-duplex
asynchronous system or half-duplex synchronous
system.
Full-Duplex
mode
is
useful
for
communications with peripheral systems, such as CRT
terminals and personal computers. Half-Duplex
Synchronous mode is intended for communications
with peripheral devices, such as A/D or D/A integrated
circuits, serial EEPROMs or other microcontrollers.
These devices typically do not have internal clocks for
baud rate generation and require the external clock
signal provided by a master synchronous device.
The EUSART module implements the following
additional features, making it ideally suited for use in
Local Interconnect Network (LIN) bus systems:
• Automatic detection and calibration of the baud rate
• Wake-up on Break reception
• 13-bit Break character transmit
Block diagrams of the EUSART transmitter and
receiver are shown in Figure 30-1 and Figure 30-2.
The EUSART transmit output (TX_out) is available to
the TX/CK pin and internally to the following peripherals:
• Configurable Logic Cell (CLC)

The operation of the EUSART module is controlled
through three registers:
• Transmit Status and Control (TX1STA)
• Receive Status and Control (RC1STA)
• Baud Rate Control (BAUD1CON)
These registers are detailed in Register 30-1,
Register 30-2 and Register 30-3, respectively.
The RX and CK input pins are selected with the RXPPS
and CKPPS registers, respectively. TX, CK, and DT
output pins are selected with each pin’s RxyPPS register.
Since the RX input is coupled with the DT output in
Synchronous mode, it is the user’s responsibility to select
the same pin for both of these functions when operating
in Synchronous mode. The EUSART control logic will
control the data direction drivers automatically.

30.1
30.1.1.2
EUSART Asynchronous Mode
The EUSART transmits and receives data using the
standard non-return-to-zero (NRZ) format. NRZ is
implemented with two levels: a VOH mark state which
represents a ‘1’ data bit, and a VOL space state which
represents a ‘0’ data bit. NRZ refers to the fact that
consecutively transmitted data bits of the same value
stay at the output level of that bit without returning to a
neutral level between each bit transmission. An NRZ
transmission port idles in the Mark state. Each character
transmission consists of one Start bit followed by eight
or nine data bits and is always terminated by one or
more Stop bits. The Start bit is always a space and the
Stop bits are always marks. The most common data
format is eight bits. Each transmitted bit persists for a
period of 1/(Baud Rate). An on-chip dedicated
8-bit/16-bit Baud Rate Generator is used to derive
standard baud rate frequencies from the system
oscillator. See Table 30-3 for examples of baud rate
configurations.
Transmitting Data
A transmission is initiated by writing a character to the
TX1REG register. If this is the first character, or the
previous character has been completely flushed from
the TSR, the data in the TX1REG is immediately
transferred to the TSR register. If the TSR still contains
all or part of a previous character, the new character
data is held in the TX1REG until the Stop bit of the
previous character has been transmitted. The pending
character in the TX1REG is then transferred to the TSR
in one TCY immediately following the Stop bit
transmission. The transmission of the Start bit, data bits
and Stop bit sequence commences immediately
following the transfer of the data to the TSR from the
TX1REG.
30.1.1.3
Transmit Data Polarity
The EUSART transmits and receives the LSb first. The
EUSART’s transmitter and receiver are functionally
independent, but share the same data format and baud
rate. Parity is not supported by the hardware, but can
be implemented in software and stored as the ninth
data bit.
The polarity of the transmit data can be controlled with
the SCKP bit of the BAUD1CON register. The default
state of this bit is ‘0’ which selects high true transmit idle
and data bits. Setting the SCKP bit to ‘1’ will invert the
transmit data resulting in low true idle and data bits. The
SCKP bit controls transmit data polarity in
Asynchronous mode only. In Synchronous mode, the
SCKP bit has a different function. See Section 30.4.1.2
“Clock Polarity”.
30.1.1
30.1.1.4
EUSART ASYNCHRONOUS
TRANSMITTER
The EUSART transmitter block diagram is shown in
Figure 30-1. The heart of the transmitter is the serial
Transmit Shift Register (TSR), which is not directly
accessible by software. The TSR obtains its data from
the transmit buffer, which is the TX1REG register.
30.1.1.1
Enabling the Transmitter
The EUSART transmitter is enabled for asynchronous
operations by configuring the following three control
bits:
• TXEN = 1
• SYNC = 0
• SPEN = 1
All other EUSART control bits are assumed to be in
their default state.
Setting the TXEN bit of the TX1STA register enables the
transmitter circuitry of the EUSART. Clearing the SYNC
bit of the TX1STA register configures the EUSART for
asynchronous operation. Setting the SPEN bit of the
RC1STA register enables the EUSART and
automatically configures the TX/CK I/O pin as an output.
If the TX/CK pin is shared with an analog peripheral, the
analog I/O function must be disabled by clearing the
corresponding ANSEL bit.
Note:
Transmit Interrupt Flag
The TXIF interrupt flag bit of the PIR1 register is set
whenever the EUSART transmitter is enabled and no
character is being held for transmission in the TX1REG.
In other words, the TXIF bit is only clear when the TSR
is busy with a character and a new character has been
queued for transmission in the TX1REG. The TXIF flag
bit is not cleared immediately upon writing TX1REG.
TXIF becomes valid in the second instruction cycle
following the write execution. Polling TXIF immediately
following the TX1REG write will return invalid results.
The TXIF bit is read-only, it cannot be set or cleared by
software.
The TXIF interrupt can be enabled by setting the TXIE
interrupt enable bit of the PIE1 register. However, the
TXIF flag bit will be set whenever the TX1REG is
empty, regardless of the state of TXIE enable bit.
To use interrupts when transmitting data, set the TXIE
bit only when there is more data to send. Clear the
TXIE interrupt enable bit upon writing the last character
of the transmission to the TX1REG.
The TXIF Transmitter Interrupt flag is set
when the TXEN enable bit is set.

TSR Status
30.1.1.7
The TRMT bit of the TX1STA register indicates the
status of the TSR register. This is a read-only bit. The
TRMT bit is set when the TSR register is empty and is
cleared when a character is transferred to the TSR
register from the TX1REG. The TRMT bit remains clear
until all bits have been shifted out of the TSR register.
No interrupt logic is tied to this bit, so the user has to
poll this bit to determine the TSR status.

memory, so it is not available to the user.
Transmitting 9-Bit Characters
The EUSART supports 9-bit character transmissions.
When the TX9 bit of the TX1STA register is set, the
EUSART will shift nine bits out for each character transmitted. The TX9D bit of the TX1STA register is the
ninth, and Most Significant data bit. When transmitting
9-bit data, the TX9D data bit must be written before
writing the eight Least Significant bits into the TX1REG.
All nine bits of data will be transferred to the TSR shift
register immediately after the TX1REG is written.
A special 9-bit Address mode is available for use with
multiple receivers. See Section 30.1.2.7 “Address
Detection” for more information on the Address mode.

EUSART ASYNCHRONOUS
RECEIVER
30.1.2.2
The Asynchronous mode is typically used in RS-232
systems. The receiver block diagram is shown in
Figure 30-2. The data is received on the RX/DT pin and
drives the data recovery block. The data recovery block
is actually a high-speed shifter operating at 16 times
the baud rate, whereas the serial Receive Shift
Register (RSR) operates at the bit rate. When all eight
or nine bits of the character have been shifted in, they
are immediately transferred to a two character
First-In-First-Out (FIFO) memory. The FIFO buffering
allows reception of two complete characters and the
start of a third character before software must start
servicing the EUSART receiver. The FIFO and RSR
registers are not directly accessible by software.
Access to the received data is via the RC1REG
register.
30.1.2.1
Enabling the Receiver
The EUSART receiver is enabled for asynchronous
operation by configuring the following three control bits:
• CREN = 1
• SYNC = 0
• SPEN = 1
All other EUSART control bits are assumed to be in
their default state.
Setting the CREN bit of the RC1STA register enables
the receiver circuitry of the EUSART. Clearing the SYNC
bit of the TX1STA register configures the EUSART for
asynchronous operation. Setting the SPEN bit of the
RC1STA register enables the EUSART. The
programmer must set the corresponding TRIS bit to
configure the RX/DT I/O pin as an input.
Note:

Note:
30.1.2
Word 2
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. The data
recovery circuit counts one-half bit time to the center of
the Start bit and verifies that the bit is still a zero. If it is
not a zero then the data recovery circuit aborts
character reception, without generating an error, and
resumes looking for the falling edge of the Start bit. If
the Start bit zero verification succeeds then the data
recovery circuit counts a full bit time to the center of the
next bit. The bit is then sampled by a majority detect
circuit and the resulting ‘0’ or ‘1’ is shifted into the RSR.
This repeats until all data bits have been sampled and
shifted into the RSR. One final bit time is measured and
the level sampled. This is the Stop bit, which is always
a ‘1’. If the data recovery circuit samples a ‘0’ in the
Stop bit position then a framing error is set for this
character, otherwise the framing error is cleared for this
character. See Section 30.1.2.4 “Receive Framing
Error” for more information on framing errors.
Immediately after all data bits and the Stop bit have
been received, the character in the RSR is transferred
to the EUSART receive FIFO and the RCIF interrupt
flag bit of the PIR1 register is set. The top character in
the FIFO is transferred out of the FIFO by reading the
RC1REG register.
Note:
If the receive FIFO is overrun, no additional
characters will be received until the
Overrun condition is cleared. See
Section 30.1.2.5 “Receive Overrun
Error” for more information on overrun
errors.
If the RX/DT function is on an analog pin,
the corresponding ANSEL bit must be
cleared for the receiver to function.

30.1.2.3
Receive Interrupts
30.1.2.6
The RCIF interrupt flag bit of the PIR1 register is set
whenever the EUSART receiver is enabled and there is
an unread character in the receive FIFO. The RCIF
interrupt flag bit is read-only, it cannot be set or cleared
by software.
RCIF interrupts are enabled by setting all of the
following bits:
• RCIE, Interrupt Enable bit of the PIE1 register
• PEIE, Peripheral Interrupt Enable bit of the
INTCON register
• GIE, Global Interrupt Enable bit of the INTCON
register
30.1.2.4
The EUSART supports 9-bit character reception. When
the RX9 bit of the RC1STA register is set the EUSART
will shift nine bits into the RSR for each character
received. The RX9D bit of the RC1STA register is the
ninth and Most Significant data bit of the top unread
character in the receive FIFO. When reading 9-bit data
from the receive FIFO buffer, the RX9D data bit must
be read before reading the eight Least Significant bits
from the RC1REG.
30.1.2.7
The RCIF interrupt flag bit will be set when there is an
unread character in the FIFO, regardless of the state of
interrupt enable bits.
Receive Framing Error
Each character in the receive FIFO buffer has a
corresponding framing error Status bit. A framing error
indicates that a Stop bit was not seen at the expected
time. The framing error status is accessed via the
FERR bit of the RC1STA register. The FERR bit
represents the status of the top unread character in the
receive FIFO. Therefore, the FERR bit must be read
before reading the RC1REG.
The FERR bit is read-only and only applies to the top
unread character in the receive FIFO. A framing error
(FERR = 1) does not preclude reception of additional
characters. It is not necessary to clear the FERR bit.
Reading the next character from the FIFO buffer will
advance the FIFO to the next character and the next
corresponding framing error.
Receiving 9-Bit Characters
Address Detection
A special Address Detection mode is available for use
when multiple receivers share the same transmission
line, such as in RS-485 systems. Address detection is
enabled by setting the ADDEN bit of the RC1STA
register.
Address detection requires 9-bit character reception.
When address detection is enabled, only characters
with the ninth data bit set will be transferred to the
receive FIFO buffer, thereby setting the RCIF interrupt
bit. All other characters will be ignored.
Upon receiving an address character, user software
determines if the address matches its own. Upon
address match, user software must disable address
detection by clearing the ADDEN bit before the next
Stop bit occurs. When user software detects the end of
the message, determined by the message protocol
used, software places the receiver back into the
Address Detection mode by setting the ADDEN bit.
The FERR bit can be forced clear by clearing the SPEN
bit of the RC1STA register which resets the EUSART.
Clearing the CREN bit of the RC1STA register does not
affect the FERR bit. A framing error by itself does not
generate an interrupt.
Note:
30.1.2.5
If all receive characters in the receive
FIFO have framing errors, repeated reads
of the RC1REG will not clear the FERR bit.
Receive Overrun Error
The receive FIFO buffer can hold two characters. An
overrun error will be generated if a third character, in its
entirety, is received before the FIFO is accessed. When
this happens the OERR bit of the RC1STA register is
set. The characters already in the FIFO buffer can be
read but no additional characters will be received until
the error is cleared. The error must be cleared by either
clearing the CREN bit of the RC1STA register or by
resetting the EUSART by clearing the SPEN bit of the
RC1STA register.

EXAMPLE 30-1:
Clock Accuracy with
Asynchronous Operation
The factory calibrates the internal oscillator block
output (INTOSC). However, the INTOSC frequency
may drift as VDD or temperature changes, and this
directly affects the asynchronous baud rate. Two
methods may be used to adjust the baud rate clock, but
both require a reference clock source of some kind.
For a device with FOSC of 16 MHz, desired baud rate
of 9600, Asynchronous mode, 8-bit SPR1BRG:
F OS C
Desired Baud Rate = -----------------------------------------------------------------------64  [SPBRGH:SPBRGL] + 1 
Solving for SP1BRGH:SP1BRGL:
FOSC
--------------------------------------------Desired Baud Rate
X = --------------------------------------------- – 1
64
The first (preferred) method uses the OSCTUNE
register to adjust the INTOSC output. Adjusting the
value in the OSCTUNE register allows for fine resolution
changes to the system clock source. See
Section 6.2.2.3 “Internal Oscillator Frequency
Adjustment” for more information.
The other method adjusts the value in the Baud Rate
Generator. This can be done automatically with the
Auto-Baud Detect feature (see Section 30.3.1
“Auto-Baud Detect”). There may not be fine enough
resolution when adjusting the Baud Rate Generator to
compensate for a gradual change in the peripheral
clock frequency.

EUSART Baud Rate Generator
(BRG)
The Baud Rate Generator (BRG) is an 8-bit or 16-bit
timer that is dedicated to the support of both the
asynchronous and synchronous EUSART operation.
By default, the BRG operates in 8-bit mode. Setting the
BRG16 bit of the BAUD1CON register selects 16-bit
mode.
The SP1BRGH, SP1BRGL register pair determines the
period of the free running baud rate timer. In
Asynchronous mode the multiplier of the baud rate
period is determined by both the BRGH bit of the
TX1STA register and the BRG16 bit of the BAUD1CON
register. In Synchronous mode, the BRGH bit is ignored.
Table 30-1 contains the formulas for determining the
baud rate. Example 30-1 provides a sample calculation
for determining the baud rate and baud rate error.
Typical baud rates and error values for various
asynchronous modes have been computed for your
convenience and are shown in Table 30-3. It may be
advantageous to use the high baud rate (BRGH = 1),
or the 16-bit BRG (BRG16 = 1) to reduce the baud rate
error. The 16-bit BRG mode is used to achieve slow
baud rates for fast oscillator frequencies.
Writing a new value to the SP1BRGH, SP1BRGL register pair causes the BRG timer to be reset (or cleared).
This ensures that the BRG does not wait for a timer
overflow before outputting the new baud rate.
If the system clock is changed during an active receive
operation, a receive error or data loss may result. To
avoid this problem, check the status of the RCIDL bit to
make sure that the receive operation is idle before
changing the system clock.

AUTO-BAUD DETECT
The EUSART module supports automatic detection
and calibration of the baud rate.
1/8th the BRG base clock rate. The resulting byte measurement is the average bit time when clocked at full
speed.
In the Auto-Baud Detect (ABD) mode, the clock to the
BRG is reversed. Rather than the BRG clocking the
incoming RX signal, the RX signal is timing the BRG.
The Baud Rate Generator is used to time the period of
a received 55h (ASCII “U”) which is the Sync character
for the LIN bus. The unique feature of this character is
that it has five rising edges including the Stop bit edge.
Setting the ABDEN bit of the BAUD1CON register
starts the auto-baud calibration sequence. While the
ABD sequence takes place, the EUSART state
machine is held in Idle. On the first rising edge of the
receive line, after the Start bit, the SPBRG begins
counting up using the BRG counter clock as shown in
Figure 30-6. The fifth rising edge will occur on the RX
pin at the end of the eighth bit period. At that time, an
accumulated value totaling the proper BRG period is
left in the SP1BRGH, SP1BRGL register pair, the
ABDEN bit is automatically cleared and the RCIF
interrupt flag is set. The value in the RC1REG needs to
be read to clear the RCIF interrupt. RC1REG content
should be discarded. When calibrating for modes that
do not use the SP1BRGH register the user can verify
that the SP1BRGL register did not overflow by
checking for 00h in the SP1BRGH register.
Note 1: If the WUE bit is set with the ABDEN bit,
auto-baud detection will occur on the byte
following the Break character (see
Section 30.3.3
“Auto-Wake-up
on
Break”).
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.
3: During the auto-baud process, the
auto-baud counter starts counting at one.
Upon completion of the auto-baud
sequence, to achieve maximum accuracy,
subtract 1 from the SP1BRGH:SP1BRGL
register pair.

The BRG auto-baud clock is determined by the BRG16

AUTO-BAUD OVERFLOW
30.3.3.1
During the course of automatic-baud detection, the
ABDOVF bit of the BAUDxCON register will be set if
the baud rate counter overflows before the fifth rising
edge is detected on the RX pin. The ABDOVF bit
indicates that the counter has exceeded the maximum
count that can fit in the 16 bits of the
SPxBRGH:SPxBRGL register pair. The Overflow
condition will set the RCIF flag. The counter continues
to count until the fifth rising edge is detected on the RX
pin. The RCIDL bit will remain false (‘0’) until the fifth
rising edge at which time the RCIDL bit will be set. If the
RCREG is read after the overflow occurs but before the
fifth rising edge, then the fifth rising edge will set the
RCIF again.
Terminating the auto-baud process early to clear an
Overflow condition will prevent proper detection of the
sync character fifth rising edge. If any falling edges of
the sync character have not yet occurred when the
ABDEN bit is cleared, then those will be falsely
detected as Start bits. The following steps are
recommended to clear the Overflow condition:

30.3.3
Special Considerations
Break Character
To avoid character errors or character fragments
during a wake-up event, the wake-up character must
be all zeros.
When the wake-up is enabled the function works
independent of the low time on the data stream. If the
WUE bit is set and a valid non-zero character is
received, the low time from the Start bit to the first rising
edge will be interpreted as the wake-up event. The
remaining bits in the character will be received as a
fragmented character and subsequent characters can
result in framing or overrun errors.
Therefore, the initial character in the transmission must
be all ‘0’s. This must be ten or more bit times, 13-bit
times recommended for LIN bus, or any number of bit
times for standard RS-232 devices.
Oscillator Start-up Time
Oscillator start-up time must be considered, especially
in applications using oscillators with longer start-up
intervals (i.e., LP, XT or HS/PLL 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.
WUE Bit
AUTO-WAKE-UP ON BREAK
During Sleep mode, all clocks to the EUSART are
suspended. Because of this, the Baud Rate Generator
is inactive and a proper character reception cannot be
performed. The Auto-Wake-up feature allows the
controller to wake-up due to activity on the RX/DT line.
This feature is available only in Asynchronous mode.
The Auto-Wake-up feature is enabled by setting the
WUE bit of the BAUD1CON register. Once set, the
normal receive sequence on RX/DT is disabled, and the
EUSART remains in an Idle state, monitoring for a
wake-up event independent of the CPU mode. A
wake-up event consists of a high-to-low transition on the
RX/DT line. (This coincides with the start of a Sync Break
or a wake-up signal character for the LIN protocol.)
The wake-up event causes a receive interrupt by
setting the RCIF bit. The WUE bit is cleared in
hardware by a rising edge on RX/DT. The Interrupt
condition is then cleared in software by reading the
RC1REG register and discarding its contents.
To ensure that no actual data is lost, check the RCIDL
bit to verify that a receive operation is not in process
before setting the WUE bit. If a receive operation is not
occurring, the WUE bit may then be set just prior to
entering the Sleep mode.
The EUSART module generates an RCIF interrupt
coincident with the wake-up event. The interrupt is
generated synchronously to the Q clocks in normal CPU
operating modes (Figure 30-7), and asynchronously if
the device is in Sleep mode (Figure 30-8). The Interrupt
condition is cleared by reading the RC1REG register.
The WUE bit is automatically cleared by the low-to-high
transition on the RX line at the end of the Break. This
signals to the user that the Break event is over. At this
point, the EUSART module is in Idle mode waiting to
receive the next character.

BREAK CHARACTER SEQUENCE
30.3.4.1
Break and Sync Transmit Sequence
The EUSART module has the capability of sending the
special Break character sequences that are required by
the LIN bus standard. A Break character consists of a
Start bit, followed by 12 ‘0’ bits and a Stop bit.
The following sequence will start a message frame
header made up of a Break, followed by an auto-baud
Sync byte. This sequence is typical of a LIN bus
master.
To send a Break character, set the SENDB and TXEN
bits of the TX1STA register. The Break character transmission is then initiated by a write to the TX1REG. The
value of data written to TX1REG will be ignored and all
‘0’s will be transmitted.
1.
2.
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 specification).
4.
The TRMT bit of the TX1STA register indicates when the
transmit operation is active or idle, just as it does during
normal transmission. See Figure 30-9 for the timing of
the Break character sequence.
When the TX1REG becomes empty, as indicated by
the TXIF, the next data byte can be written to TX1REG.

RECEIVING A BREAK CHARACTER
The Enhanced EUSART module can receive a Break
character in two ways.
The first method to detect a Break character uses the
FERR bit of the RC1STA register and the received data
as indicated by RC1REG. The Baud Rate Generator is
assumed to have been initialized to the expected baud
rate.
A Break character has been received when;
• RCIF bit is set
• FERR bit is set
• RC1REG = 00h
The second method uses the Auto-Wake-up feature
described in Section 30.3.3 “Auto-Wake-up on
Break”. By enabling this feature, the EUSART will
sample the next two transitions on RX/DT, cause an
RCIF interrupt, and receive the next data byte followed
by another interrupt.
Note that following a Break character, the user will
typically want to enable the Auto-Baud Detect feature.
For both methods, the user can set the ABDEN bit of
the BAUD1CON register before placing the EUSART in
Sleep mode.

EUSART Synchronous Mode
Synchronous serial communications are typically used
in systems with a single master and one or more
slaves. The master device contains the necessary
circuitry for baud rate generation and supplies the clock
for all devices in the system. Slave devices can take
advantage of the master clock by eliminating the
internal clock generation circuitry.
There are two signal lines in Synchronous mode: a
bidirectional data line and a clock line. Slaves use the
external clock supplied by the master to shift the serial
data into and out of their respective receive and transmit shift registers. Since the data line is bidirectional,
synchronous operation is half-duplex only. Half-duplex
refers to the fact that master and slave devices can
receive and transmit data but not both simultaneously.
The EUSART can operate as either a master or slave
device.
Start and Stop bits are not used in synchronous
transmissions.
30.4.1
SYNCHRONOUS MASTER MODE
The following bits are used to configure the EUSART
for synchronous master operation:
•
•
•
•
•
SYNC = 1
CSRC = 1
SREN = 0 (for transmit); SREN = 1 (for receive)
CREN = 0 (for transmit); CREN = 1 (for receive)
SPEN = 1
Master Clock
Synchronous data transfers use a separate clock line,
which is synchronous with the data. A device configured as a master transmits the clock on the TX/CK line.
The TX/CK pin output driver is automatically enabled
when the EUSART is configured for synchronous
transmit or receive operation. Serial data bits change
on the leading edge to ensure they are valid at the
trailing edge of each clock. One clock cycle is generated for each data bit. Only as many clock cycles are
generated as there are data bits.
DS40001800A-page 376
A clock polarity option is provided for Microwire
compatibility. Clock polarity is selected with the SCKP
bit of the BAUD1CON register. Setting the SCKP bit
sets the clock Idle state as high. When the SCKP bit is
set, the data changes on the falling edge of each clock.
Clearing the SCKP bit sets the Idle state as low. When
the SCKP bit is cleared, the data changes on the rising
edge of each clock.
30.4.1.3
Synchronous Master Transmission
Data is transferred out of the device on the RX/DT pin.
The RX/DT and TX/CK pin output drivers are automatically enabled when the EUSART is configured for
synchronous master transmit operation.
A transmission is initiated by writing a character to the
TX1REG register. If the TSR still contains all or part of
a previous character the new character data is held in
the TX1REG until the last bit of the previous character
has been transmitted. If this is the first character, or the
previous character has been completely flushed from
the TSR, the data in the TX1REG is immediately transferred to the TSR. The transmission of the character
commences immediately following the transfer of the
data to the TSR from the TX1REG.
Each data bit changes on the leading edge of the
master clock and remains valid until the subsequent
leading clock edge.
Setting the SYNC bit of the TX1STA register configures
the device for synchronous operation. Setting the CSRC
bit of the TX1STA register configures the device as a
master. Clearing the SREN and CREN bits of the
RC1STA register ensures that the device is in the
Transmit mode, otherwise the device will be configured
to receive. Setting the SPEN bit of the RC1STA register
enables the EUSART.

Synchronous Master Reception
Data is received at the RX/DT pin. The RX/DT pin
output driver is automatically disabled when the
EUSART is configured for synchronous master receive
operation.
In Synchronous mode, reception is enabled by setting
either the Single Receive Enable bit (SREN of the
RC1STA register) or the Continuous Receive Enable
bit (CREN of the RC1STA register).
When SREN is set and CREN is clear, only as many
clock cycles are generated as there are data bits in a
single character. The SREN bit is automatically cleared
at the completion of one character. When CREN is set,
clocks are continuously generated until CREN is
cleared. If CREN is cleared in the middle of a character
the CK clock stops immediately and the partial character is discarded. If SREN and CREN are both set, then
SREN is cleared at the completion of the first character
and CREN takes precedence.
 2015 Microchip Technology Inc.
To initiate reception, set either SREN or CREN. Data is
sampled at the RX/DT pin on the trailing edge of the
TX/CK clock pin and is shifted into the Receive Shift
Register (RSR). When a complete character is
received into the RSR, the RCIF bit is set and the character is automatically transferred to the two character
receive FIFO. The Least Significant eight bits of the top
character in the receive FIFO are available in
RC1REG. The RCIF bit remains set as long as there
are unread characters in the receive FIFO.
Note:
Preliminary
If the RX/DT function is on an analog pin,
the corresponding ANSEL bit must be
cleared for the receiver to function.

received. The RX9D bit of the RC1STA register is the
ninth, and Most Significant, data bit of the top unread
character in the receive FIFO. When reading 9-bit data
from the receive FIFO buffer, the RX9D data bit must
be read before reading the eight Least Significant bits
from the RC1REG.
Synchronous data transfers use a separate clock line,
which is synchronous with the data. A device configured
as a slave receives the clock on the TX/CK line. The
TX/CK pin output driver is automatically disabled when
the device is configured for synchronous slave transmit
or receive operation. Serial data bits change on the
leading edge to ensure they are valid at the trailing edge
of each clock. One data bit is transferred for each clock
cycle. Only as many clock cycles should be received as
there are data bits.

Initialize the SP1BRGH, SP1BRGL register pair

2. Clear the ANSEL bit for the RX pin (if applicable).
3. Enable the synchronous master serial port by
setting bits SYNC, SPEN and CSRC.
4. Ensure bits CREN and SREN are clear.
5. If interrupts are desired, set the RCIE bit of the
PIE1 register and the GIE and PEIE bits of the
INTCON register.
6. If 9-bit reception is desired, set bit RX9.
7. Start reception by setting the SREN bit or for
continuous reception, set the CREN bit.
8. Interrupt flag bit RCIF will be set when reception
of a character is complete. An interrupt will be
generated if the enable bit RCIE was set.
9. Read the RC1STA register to get the ninth bit (if
enabled) and determine if any error occurred
during reception.
10. Read the 8-bit received data by reading the
RC1REG register.
11. If an overrun error occurs, clear the error by
either clearing the CREN bit of the RC1STA
register or by clearing the SPEN bit which resets
the EUSART.
If the device is configured as a slave and
the TX/CK function is on an analog pin, the
corresponding ANSEL bit must be cleared.
Receive Overrun Error
The receive FIFO buffer can hold two characters. An
overrun error will be generated if a third character, in its
entirety, is received before RC1REG is read to access
the FIFO. When this happens the OERR bit of the
RC1STA register is set. Previous data in the FIFO will
not be overwritten. The two characters in the FIFO
buffer can be read, however, no additional characters
will be received until the error is cleared. The OERR bit
can only be cleared by clearing the Overrun condition.
If the overrun error occurred when the SREN bit is set
and CREN is clear then the error is cleared by reading
RC1REG. If the overrun occurred when the CREN bit
is set then the Error condition is cleared by either
clearing the CREN bit of the RC1STA register or by
clearing the SPEN bit which resets the EUSART.
30.4.1.8
Receiving 9-bit Characters
The EUSART supports 9-bit character reception. When
the RX9 bit of the RC1STA register is set the EUSART
will shift nine bits into the RSR for each character

SYNCHRONOUS SLAVE MODE
30.4.2.3
The following bits are used to configure the EUSART
for synchronous slave operation:
•
•
•
•
•
SYNC = 1
CSRC = 0
SREN = 0 (for transmit); SREN = 1 (for receive)
CREN = 0 (for transmit); CREN = 1 (for receive)
SPEN = 1
Setting the SYNC bit of the TX1STA register configures
the device for synchronous operation. Clearing the
CSRC bit of the TX1STA register configures the device
as a slave. Clearing the SREN and CREN bits of the
RC1STA register ensures that the device is in the
Transmit mode, otherwise the device will be configured to
receive. Setting the SPEN bit of the RC1STA register
enables the EUSART.
30.4.2.1
The operation of the Synchronous Master and Slave
modes is identical (Section 30.4.1.5 “Synchronous
Master Reception”), with the following exceptions:
• Sleep
• CREN bit is always set, therefore the receiver is
never idle
• SREN bit, which is a “don’t care” in Slave mode
A character may be received while in Sleep mode by
setting the CREN bit prior to entering Sleep. Once the
word is received, the RSR register will transfer the data
to the RC1REG register. If the RCIE enable bit is set,
the interrupt generated will wake the device from Sleep
and execute the next instruction. If the GIE bit is also
set, the program will branch to the interrupt vector.

The operation of the Synchronous Master and Slave

The TXIF bit will not be set.
After the first character has been shifted out of
TSR, the TX1REG register will transfer the
second character to the TSR and the TXIF bit will
now be set.
If the PEIE and TXIE bits are set, the interrupt
will wake the device from Sleep and execute the
next instruction. If the GIE bit is also set, the
program will call the Interrupt Service Routine.

EUSART Operation During Sleep
The EUSART will remain active during Sleep only in the
Synchronous Slave mode. All other modes require the
system clock and therefore cannot generate the necessary signals to run the Transmit or Receive Shift
registers during Sleep.
Synchronous Slave mode uses an externally generated
clock to run the Transmit and Receive Shift registers.
30.5.1
SYNCHRONOUS RECEIVE DURING
SLEEP
To receive during Sleep, all the following conditions
must be met before entering Sleep mode:
• RC1STA and TX1STA Control registers must be
configured for Synchronous Slave Reception (see
Section 30.4.2.4 “Synchronous Slave
Reception Set-up”).
• If interrupts are desired, set the RCIE bit of the
PIE1 register and the GIE and PEIE bits of the
INTCON register.
• The RCIF interrupt flag must be cleared by reading RC1REG to unload any pending characters in
the receive buffer.
Upon entering Sleep mode, the device will be ready to
accept data and clocks on the RX/DT and TX/CK pins,
respectively. When the data word has been completely
clocked in by the external device, the RCIF interrupt
flag bit of the PIR1 register will be set. Thereby, waking
the processor from Sleep.
30.5.2
SYNCHRONOUS TRANSMIT
DURING SLEEP
To transmit during Sleep, all the following conditions
must be met before entering Sleep mode:
• The RC1STA and TX1STA Control registers must
be configured for synchronous slave transmission
(see Section 30.4.2.2 “Synchronous Slave
Transmission Set-up”).
• The TXIF interrupt flag must be cleared by writing
the output data to the TX1REG, thereby filling the
TSR and transmit buffer.
• If interrupts are desired, set the TXIE bit of the
PIE1 register and the PEIE bit of the INTCON
register.
• Interrupt enable bits TXIE of the PIE1 register and
PEIE of the INTCON register must set.
Upon entering Sleep mode, the device will be ready to
accept clocks on TX/CK pin and transmit data on the
RX/DT pin. When the data word in the TSR has been
completely clocked out by the external device, the
pending byte in the TX1REG will transfer to the TSR
and the TXIF flag will be set. Thereby, waking the processor from Sleep. At this point, the TX1REG is available to accept another character for transmission,
which will clear the TXIF flag.
Upon waking from Sleep, the instruction following the
SLEEP instruction will be executed. If the Global
Interrupt Enable (GIE) bit is also set then the Interrupt
Service Routine at address 0004h will be called.
Upon waking from Sleep, the instruction following the
SLEEP instruction will be executed. If the Global
Interrupt Enable (GIE) bit of the INTCON register is
also set, then the Interrupt Service Routine at address
004h will be called.

REFERENCE CLOCK OUTPUT
MODULE
The Reference Clock Output module provides the
ability to send a clock signal to the clock reference
output pin (CLKR). The Reference Clock Output can
also be used as a signal for other peripherals, such as
the Data Signal Modulator (DSM).
The Reference Clock Output module has the following
features:
• System clock is the module source clock
• Programmable clock divider
• Selectable duty cycle
31.1
Selectable Duty Cycle
The CLKRDC<1:0> bits of the CLKRCON register can
be used to modify the duty cycle of the output clock. A
duty cycle of 25%, 50%, or 75% can be selected for all
clock rates, with the exception of the undivided base
FOSC value.
The duty cycle can be changed while the module is
enabled; however, in order to prevent glitches on the
output, the CLKRDC<1:0> bits should only be changed
when the module is disabled (CLKREN = 0).
Note:
The CLKRDC1 bit is reset to ‘1’. This
makes the default duty cycle 50% and not
0%.
Clock Source
The Reference Clock Output module uses the system
clock (FOSC) as the clock source. Any device clock
switching will be reflected in the clock output.
31.1.1
31.3
CLOCK SYNCHRONIZATION
Once the reference clock enable (CLKREN) is set, the
module is ensured to be glitch-free at start-up.
31.4
Operation in Sleep Mode
The Reference Clock Output module clock is based on
the system clock. When the device goes to Sleep, the
module outputs will remain in their current state. This
will have a direct effect on peripherals using the
Reference Clock Output as an input signal.
When the Reference Clock Output is disabled, the
output signal will be disabled immediately.
Clock dividers and clock duty cycles can be changed
while the module is enabled, but glitches may occur on
the output. To avoid possible glitches, clock dividers
and clock duty cycles should be changed only when the
CLKREN is clear.
31.2
Programmable Clock Divider
The module takes the system clock input and divides it
based on the value of the CLKRDIV<2:0> bits of the
CLKRCON register (Register 31-1).
The following configurations can be made based on the
CLKRDIV<2:0> bits:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Base FOSC value
FOSC divided by 2
FOSC divided by 4
FOSC divided by 8
FOSC divided by 16
FOSC divided by 32
FOSC divided by 64
FOSC divided by 128
The clock divider values can be changed while the
module is enabled; however, in order to prevent
glitches on the output, the CLKRDIV<2:0> bits should
only be changed when the module is disabled
(CLKREN = 0).

IN-CIRCUIT SERIAL
PROGRAMMING™ (ICSP™)
32.3
ICSP™ programming allows customers to manufacture
circuit boards with unprogrammed devices. Programming
can be done after the assembly process, allowing the
device to be programmed with the most recent firmware
or a custom firmware. Five pins are needed for ICSP™
programming:
• ICSPCLK
• ICSPDAT
• MCLR/VPP
• VDD
• VSS
Connection to a target device is typically done through
an ICSP™ header. A commonly found connector on
development tools is the RJ-11 in the 6P6C (6-pin,
6-connector) configuration. See Figure 32-1.
FIGURE 32-1:
VDD
In Program/Verify mode the program memory, User IDs
and the Configuration Words are programmed through
serial communications. The ICSPDAT pin is a
bidirectional I/O used for transferring the serial data
and the ICSPCLK pin is the clock input. For more
information on ICSP™ refer to the “PIC16(L)F183XX
Memory Programming Specification” (DS40001738).
32.1
The Low-Voltage Programming Entry mode allows the
PIC® Flash MCUs to be programmed using VDD only,
without high voltage. When the LVP bit of Configuration
Words is set to ‘1’, the low-voltage ICSP programming
entry is enabled. To disable the Low-Voltage ICSP
mode, the LVP bit must be programmed to ‘0’.
Entry into the Low-Voltage Programming Entry mode
requires the following steps:
1.
2.
MCLR is brought to VIL.
A 32-bit key sequence is presented on
ICSPDAT, while clocking ICSPCLK.

The device is placed into High-Voltage Programming
Entry mode by holding the ICSPCLK and ICSPDAT
pins low then raising the voltage on MCLR/VPP to VIHH.
32.2
Common Programming Interfaces
5 = ICSPCLK
6 = No Connect
Another connector often found in use with the PICkit™
programmers is a standard 6-pin header with 0.1 inch
spacing. Refer to Figure 32-2.
For additional interface recommendations, refer to your
specific device programmer manual prior to PCB
design.
It is recommended that isolation devices be used to
separate the programming pins from other circuitry.
The type of isolation is highly dependent on the specific
application and may include devices such as resistors,
diodes, or even jumpers. See Figure 32-3 for more
information.
Once the key sequence is complete, MCLR must be
held at VIL for as long as Program/Verify mode is to be
maintained.
If low-voltage programming is enabled (LVP = 1), the
MCLR Reset function is automatically enabled and
cannot be disabled. See Section 5.4 “MCLR” for more
information.
The LVP bit can only be reprogrammed to ‘0’ by using
the High-Voltage Programming mode.

INSTRUCTION SET SUMMARY
Each instruction is a 14-bit word containing the operation code (opcode) and all required operands. The
opcodes are broken into three broad categories.
• Byte Oriented
• Bit Oriented
• Literal and Control
The literal and control category contains the most
varied instruction word format.
Table 33-3 lists the instructions recognized by the
MPASM™ assembler.
All instructions are executed within a single instruction
cycle, with the following exceptions, which may take
two or three cycles:
• Subroutine takes two cycles (CALL, CALLW)
• Returns from interrupts or subroutines take two
cycles (RETURN, RETLW, RETFIE)
• Program branching takes two cycles (GOTO, BRA,
BRW, BTFSS, BTFSC, DECFSZ, INCSFZ)
• One additional instruction cycle will be used when
any instruction references an indirect file register
and the file select register is pointing to program
memory.
One instruction cycle consists of 4 oscillator cycles; for
an oscillator frequency of 4 MHz, this gives a nominal
instruction execution rate of 1 MHz.
All instruction examples use the format ‘0xhh’ to
represent a hexadecimal number, where ‘h’ signifies a
hexadecimal digit.
33.1
Read-Modify-Write Operations
Any instruction that specifies a file register as part of
the instruction performs a Read-Modify-Write (R-M-W)
operation. The register is read, the data is modified,
and the result is stored according to either the instruction, or the destination designator ‘d’. A read operation
is performed on a register even if the instruction writes
to that register.

Maximum current rating requires even load distribution across I/O pins. Maximum current rating may be
limited by the device package power dissipation characterizations, see Table 34-3 to calculate device
specifications.
Power dissipation is calculated as follows:
PDIS = VDD x {IDD – ∑ IOH} + ∑ {(VDD – VOH) x IOH} + ∑(VOL x IOL).
† NOTICE: Stresses above those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the
device. This is a stress rating only and functional operation of the device at those or any other conditions above those
indicated in the operation listings of this specification is not implied. Exposure above maximum rating conditions for
extended periods may affect device reliability.

Data in “Typ.” column is at 3.0V, 25°C unless otherwise stated. These parameters are for design guidance
only and are not tested.
Note 1: 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; MCLR = VDD; WDT disabled.
2: The supply current is mainly a function of the operating voltage and frequency. Other factors, such as I/O
pin loading and switching rate, oscillator type, internal code execution pattern and temperature, also have
an impact on the current consumption.
3: IDDDOZE = [IDDIDLE*(N-1)/N] + IDDHFO16/N where N = DOZE Ration (see Register 8-2).

* These parameters are characterized but not tested.
† Data in “Typ.” column is at 3.0V, 25°C unless otherwise stated. These parameters are for design guidance only
and are not tested.
Note 1: The peripheral current is the sum of the base IPD and the additional current consumed when this peripheral is
enabled. The peripheral  current can be determined by subtracting the base IDD or IPD current from this limit.
Max values should be used when calculating total current consumption.
2: 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 VSS.
3: All peripheral currents listed are on a per-peripheral basis if more than one instance of a peripheral is available.
4: ADC clock source is ADCRC.

These parameters are characterized but not tested.
Data in “Typ.” column is at 3.0V, 25°C unless otherwise stated. These parameters are for design guidance
only and are not tested.
Instruction cycle period (TCY) equals four times the input oscillator time base period. All specified values
are based on characterization data for that particular oscillator type under standard operating conditions
with the device executing code. Exceeding these specified limits may result in an unstable oscillator
operation and/or higher than expected current consumption. All devices are tested to operate at “min”
values with an external clock applied to OSC1 pin. When an external clock input is used, the “max” cycle
time limit is “DC” (no clock) for all devices.
The system clock frequency (FOSC) is selected by the “main clock switch controls” as described in
Section 6.3 “Clock Switching”.
The system clock frequency (FOSC) must meet the voltage requirements defined in the Section 34.2
“Standard Operating Conditions”. LP, XT and HS oscillator modes require an appropriate crystal or
resonator to be connected to the device.
For clocking the device with an external square wave, one of the EC mode selections must be used.

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 SCL to avoid unintended generation of Start or Stop conditions.
A Fast mode (400 kHz) I2C™ bus device can be used in a Standard mode (100 kHz) 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 SCL signal. If such a device does stretch the low period of the SCL signal,
it must output the next data bit to the SDA line TR max. + TSU:DAT = 1000 + 250 = 1250 ns (according to
the Standard mode I2C bus specification), before the SCL line is released.

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.
Information contained in this publication regarding device
applications and the like is provided only for your convenience
and may be superseded by updates. It is your responsibility to
ensure that your application meets with your specifications.
MICROCHIP MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR
WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND WHETHER EXPRESS OR
IMPLIED, WRITTEN OR ORAL, STATUTORY OR
OTHERWISE, RELATED TO THE INFORMATION,
INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ITS CONDITION,
QUALITY, PERFORMANCE, MERCHANTABILITY OR
FITNESS FOR PURPOSE. Microchip disclaims all liability
arising from this information and its use. Use of Microchip
devices in life support and/or safety applications is entirely at

hold harmless Microchip from any and all damages, claims,
