PIC16(L)F1526/1527 PIC16(L)F1526/1527 Family Silicon Errata and Data Sheet Clarification The PIC16(L)F1526/1527 family devices that you have received conform functionally to the current Device Data Sheet (DS41458C), except for the anomalies described in this document. For example, to identify the silicon revision level using MPLAB IDE in conjunction with a hardware debugger: 1. The silicon issues discussed in the following pages are for silicon revisions with the Device and Revision IDs listed in Table 1. The silicon issues are summarized in Table 2. 2. 3. The errata described in this document will be addressed in future revisions of the PIC16(L)F1526/1527 silicon. 4. Note: This document summarizes all silicon errata issues from all revisions of silicon, previous as well as current. Only the issues indicated in the last column of Table 2 apply to the current silicon revision (A5). Using the appropriate interface, connect the device to the hardware debugger. Open an MPLAB IDE project. Configure the MPLAB IDE project for the appropriate device and hardware debugger. Based on the version of MPLAB IDE you are using, do one of the following: a) For MPLAB IDE 8, select Programmer > Reconnect. b) For MPLAB X IDE, select Window > Dashboard and click the Refresh Debug Tool Status icon ( ). Depending on the development tool used, the part number and Device Revision ID value appear in the Output window. 5. Data Sheet clarifications and corrections start on page 6, following the discussion of silicon issues. The silicon revision level can be identified using the current version of MPLAB® IDE and Microchip’s programmers, debuggers, and emulation tools, which are available at the Microchip corporate web site (www.microchip.com).

PIC16(L)F1526/1527 Silicon Errata Issues Note: This document summarizes all silicon errata issues from all revisions of silicon, previous as well as current. Only the issues indicated by the shaded column in the following tables apply to the current silicon revision (A5). 1. Module: High-Frequency Internal Oscillator (HFINTOSC) 1.1 Internal Oscillator Min. VDD The High-Frequency Internal Oscillator requires a minimum voltage of 2.3V to operate. Work around A3 A5 X 1.2 HFINTOSC Max. VDD at -40°C For the LF devices only, the High-Frequency Internal Oscillator may stop working at -40°C when VDD is 3.6V. In order to minimize current consumption when the FVR is disabled, the gain amplifier(s) should be turned off by clearing the Buffer Gain Selection bits. Affected Silicon Revisions A2 A3 A5 X X X None. Affected Silicon Revisions A3 A5 X Work around Affected Silicon Revisions A2 A3 A5 X 2. Module: FVR 2.1 FVR Stable Bit After the FVR is stabilized, the FVR Ready bit may not be set when the temperature is -40°C and VDD = 1.8V. Work around Operate above -30°C or with VDD >2.0V. Affected Silicon Revisions A3 In Asynchronous mode, when the SENDB bit is set during an active character transmission, then the TX pin will improperly be forced low and the transmit time will be extended to a total of 13-bit times. During the extension, both the TRMT and TXIF flags will be set, thus giving a false indication that the transmitter is inactive. Ensure that the transmitter is not active by sensing if the TRMT flag is set before setting the SENDB bit. Work around A2 Work around 3.1 Break Generation – SREN bit Affected Silicon Revisions A2 Higher than expected, current consumption can be experienced if one or both (if available) gain amplifiers are enabled when the FVR is not is use. 3. Module: EUSART None. A2 2.2. Gain Amplifier A5 X 3.2 Auto-baud – WUE and ABDEN bits Setting WUE and ABDEN simultaneously does not perform auto-baud correctly. The resulting number in SPBRG, after the Break and Sync character, is indeterminate. Work around Set only the WUE bit to enable wake from Sleep. Upon waking, immediately set the ABDEN bit to activate auto-baud. Affected Silicon Revisions A2 A3 A5 X 2011-2014 Microchip Technology Inc. DS80000520E-page 3 PIC16(L)F1526/1527 4. Module: Oscillator 4.1 OSCSTAT bits: HFIOFR and HFIOFS When HFINTOSC is selected, the HFIOFR and the HFIOFS bits will become set when the oscillator becomes ready and stable. Once these bits are set, they become “stuck”, indicating that HFINTOSC is always ready and stable. If the HFINTOSC is disabled, the bits fail to be cleared. Work around None. Affected Silicon Revisions A2 A3 X X A5 4.2 Clock Switching When switching clock sources between INTOSC clock source and an external clock source, one corrupted instruction may be executed after the switch occurs. This issue does not affect the Two-Speed start-up or the Fail-Safe Clock Monitor operation. Work around When switching from an external oscillator clock source, first switch to 16 MHz HFINTOSC. Once running at 16 MHz HFINTOSC, configure IRCF to run at desired internal oscillator frequency. 4.3 Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) bit During the Two-Speed Start-up sequence, the OST is enabled to count 1024 clock cycles. After the count is reached, the OSTS bit is set, and the system clock is held low until the next falling edge of the external crystal (LP, XT or HS mode), before switching to the external clock source. When an external oscillator is configured as primary clock and Fail-Safe Clock mode is enabled (FCMEN = 1), any of the following conditions will result in the Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) failing to restart: • MCLR Reset • Wake from Sleep • Clock change from INTOSC to Primary Clock This anomaly will manifest itself as a clock failure condition for external oscillators, which takes longer than the clock failure time-out period to start. Work around None. Affected Silicon Revisions A2 A3 A5 X X X When switching from an internal oscillator (INTOSC) to an external oscillator clock source, first switch to HFINTOSC High-Power mode (8 MHz or 16 MHz). Once running from HFINTOSC, switch to the external oscillator clock source. Affected Silicon Revisions A2 A3 A5 X X X DS80000520E-page 4 2011-2014 Microchip Technology Inc. PIC16(L)F1526/1527 5. Module: MSSP (Master Synchronous Serial Port) 5.1 SPI Master mode When the MSSP is used in SPI Master mode and the CKE bit is clear (CKE = 0), the Buffer Full (BF) bit and the MSSP Interrupt Flag (SSPIF) bit becomes set half an SCK cycle early. If the user software immediately reacts to either of the bits being set, a write collision may occur as indicated by the WCOL bit being set. Work around To avoid a write collision one of the following methods should be used: Method 1: Add a software delay of one SCK period after detecting the completed transfer (the BF bit or SSPIF bit becomes set) and prior to writing to the SSPBUF register. Verify the WCOL bit is clear after writing to SSPBUF. If the WCOL bit is set, clear the bit in software and rewrite the SSPBUF register. Method 2: As part of the MSSP initialization procedure, set the CKE bit (CKE = 1). Affected Silicon Revisions A2 A3 A5 X X X 2011-2014 Microchip Technology Inc.
