However, only locations 0x200-0x203 and 0x400-0x403 are available. Other locations are reserved. 2.3 Configuration Word The Configuration Word is physically located at 0x3FF and 0x7FF, respectively. It is only available upon Program mode entry. Once an Increment Address command is issued, the Configuration Word is no longer accessible, regardless of the address of the program counter. Note: By convention, the Configuration Word is stored at the logical address location of 0xFFF within the hex file generated for the PIC12F508/509. This logical address location may not reflect the actual physical address for the part itself. It is the responsibility of the programming software to retrieve the Configuration Word from the logical address within the hex file and granulate the address to the proper physical location when programming.

The user ID locations are mapped in [0x200:0x203] and [0x400:0x403], respectively. It is recommended that the user use only the four Least Significant bits (LSb) of each user ID location and program the upper 8 bits as ‘1’s. The user ID locations read out normally, even after code protection is enabled. It is recommended that user ID location is written as ‘1111 1111 bbbb’ where ‘bbbb’ is user ID information.

In Program/Verify mode, the program memory space extends from (0x000-0x3FF) for the PIC12F508 and (0x000-0x7FF) for the PIC12F509. The first half, (0x000-0x1FF) and (0x000-0x3FF), respectively, is user program memory. The second half, (0x200-0x3FF) and (0x400-0x7FF), respectively, is configuration memory. The PC will increment from (0x000-0x1FF) and (0x000-0x3FF), respectively, then to 0x200 and 0x400, respectively (not to 0x000). PIC12F508 PROGRAM MEMORY MAP 000h User Memory Space 2.0 7FEh 7FFh Oscillator Calibration Bits The oscillator Calibration bits are stored at the Reset vector as the operand of a MOVLW instruction. Programming interfaces must allow users to program the Calibration bits themselves for custom trimming of the INTOSC. Capability for programming the Calibration bits when programming the entire memory array must also be maintained for backwards compatibility. 2.5 Backup OSCCAL Value The backup OSCCAL value, 0x204/0x404, is a factory location where the OSCCAL value is stored during testing of the INTOSC. This location is not erased during a standard Bulk Erase, but is erased if the PC is moved into configuration memory prior to invoking a Bulk Erase. If this value is erased, it is the user’s responsibility to rewrite it back to this location for future use. Preliminary © 2007 Microchip Technology Inc. PIC12F508/509 3.0 COMMANDS AND ALGORITHMS 3.1 Program/Verify Mode 3.1.2 The ICSPCLK pin is used for clock input and the ICSPDAT pin is used for data input/output during serial operation. To input a command, the clock pin is cycled six times. Each command bit is latched on the falling edge of the clock with the LSb of the command being input first. The data must adhere to the setup (TSET1) and hold (THLD1) times with respect to the falling edge of the clock (see Table 6-1). The Program/Verify mode is entered by holding pins ICSPCLK and ICSPDAT low while raising VDD pin from VIL to VDD. Then raise VPP from VIL to VIHH. Once in this mode, the user program memory and configuration memory can be accessed and programmed in serial fashion. Clock and data are Schmitt Trigger input in this mode. Commands that do not have data associated with them are required to wait a minimum of TDLY2 measured from the falling edge of the last command clock to the rising edge of the next command clock (see Table 6-1). Commands that do have data associated with them (Read and Load) are also required to wait TDLY2 between the command and the data segment measured from the falling edge of the last command clock to the rising edge of the first data clock. The data segment, consisting of 16 clock cycles, can begin after this delay. The sequence that enters the device into the Programming/Verify mode places all other logic into the Reset state (the MCLR pin was initially at VIL). This means that all I/O are in the Reset state (high-impedance inputs). 3.1.1 PROGRAMMING The programming sequence loads a word, programs, verifies and finally increments the PC. Program/Verify mode entry will set the address to 0x3FF for the PIC12F508 and 0x7FF for the PIC12F509. The Increment Address command will increment the PC. The available commands are shown in Table 3-1. FIGURE 3-1: Note: After every End Programming command, a delay of TDIS is required. The first and last clock pulses during the data segment correspond to the Start and Stop bits, respectively. Input data is a “don't care” during the Start and Stop cycles. The 14 clock pulses between the Start and Stop cycles clock the 14 bits of input/output data. Data is transferred LSb first. ENTERING HIGH VOLTAGE PROGRAM/ VERIFY MODE TPPDP SERIAL PROGRAM/VERIFY OPERATION During Read commands, in which the data is output from the PIC12F508/509, the ICSPDAT pin transitions from the high-impedance input state to the low-impedance output state at the rising edge of the second data clock (first clock edge after the Start cycle). The ICSPDAT pin returns to the high-impedance state at the rising edge of the 16th data clock (first edge of the Stop cycle). See Figure 3-3. THLD0 VPP VDD The commands that are available are described in Table 3-1.

Because this is a 12-bit core, the two MSbs of the data word are ignored. A timing diagram for the Load Data command is shown in Figure 3-1.

The data pin will go into Output mode on the second rising clock edge, and it will revert to Input mode (high-impedance) after the 16th rising edge. Because this is a 12-bit core, the two MSbs of the 14-bit word will be read as ‘0’s. If the program memory is code-protected (CP = 0), portions of the program memory will be read as zeros. See Section 5.0 “Code Protection” for details.

PIC12F508/509 3.1.2.3 Increment Address The PC is incremented when this command is received. A timing diagram of this command is shown in Figure 3-4. It is not possible to decrement the address counter. To reset this counter, the user must either exit and re-enter Program/Verify mode or increment the PC from 0x3FF for the PIC12F508 or 0x7FF for the PIC12F509 to 0x000.

Note 1: A fully erased part will read ‘1’s in every program memory location. 2: The oscillator Calibration bits are erased if a Bulk Erase is invoked. They must be read and saved prior to erasing the device and restored during the programming operation. Oscillator Calibration bits are stored at the Reset vector as the operand of a MOVLW instruction.

PIC12F508/509 5.0 CODE PROTECTION 5.3 For the PIC12F508/509, once code protection is enabled, all program memory locations, 0x040-0x1FE (F508) and 0x040-0x3FE (F509) inclusive, read all ‘0’s. Program memory locations 0x000-0x03F, 0x1FF (F508) and 0x3FF (F509) are always unprotected. The user ID locations, backup OSCCAL location and the Configuration Word read out in an unprotected fashion. It is possible to program the user ID locations, backup OSCCAL location and the Configuration Word after code-protect is enabled. 5.3.1 Checksum Computation CHECKSUM Checksum is calculated by reading the contents of the PIC12F508/509 memory locations and adding up the opcodes up to the maximum user addressable location (e.g., 0x1FF for the PIC12F508). Any Carry bits exceeding 16 bits are neglected. Finally, the Configuration Word (appropriately masked) is added to the checksum. Checksum computation for the PIC12F508/ 509 is shown in Table 5-1. The checksum is calculated by summing the following: 5.1 Disabling Code Protection It is recommended that the following procedure be performed before any other programming is attempted. It is also possible to turn code protection off (CP = 1) using this procedure. However, all data within the program memory will be erased when this procedure is executed, and thus, the security of the code is not compromised. Enter Program mode Execute Bulk Erase command (001001) Wait TERA c) 5.2 Note: The Least Significant 16 bits of this sum is the checksum. The following table describes how to calculate the checksum for each device. Note: To disable code-protect: a) b) • The contents of all program memory locations • The Configuration Word, appropriately masked • Masked user ID locations (when applicable) Program Memory The checksum calculation differs depending on the code-protect setting. The Configuration Word and user ID locations can always be read regardless of the code-protect settings. Embedding Configuration Word and User ID Information in the Hex File To allow portability of code, the programmer is required to read the Configuration Word and user ID locations from the hex file when loading the hex file. If Configuration Word information was not present in the hex file, then a simple warning message may be issued. Similarly, while saving a hex file, Configuration Word and user ID information must be included. An option to not include this information may be provided. Microchip Technology Incorporated feels strongly that this feature is important for the benefit of the end customer. © 2007 Microchip Technology Inc.
