Note:
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).
TABLE 1:
Using the appropriate interface, connect the
device to the hardware debugger.

An ADC conversion may not complete under these
conditions:

Method 1: Select the system clock, FOSC, as
the ADC clock source and reduce
the FOSC frequency to 8 MHz or
less when performing ADC
conversions.
When FOSC is greater than 8 MHz and it is the
clock source used for the ADC converter.
The ADC is operating from its dedicated internal
FRC oscillator and the device is not in Sleep
mode (any FOSC frequency).
When this occurs, the ADC Interrupt Flag (ADIF)
does not get set, the GO/DONE bit does not get
cleared, and the conversion result does not get
loaded into the ADRESH and ADRESL result
registers.
Method 3: This method is provided if the
application cannot use Sleep
mode and requires continuous
operation at frequencies above 8
MHz. This method requires early
termination of an ADC conversion. Provide a fixed time delay in
software to stop the A-to-D
conversion manually, after all 10
bits are converted, but before the
conversion
would
complete
automatically. The conversion is
stopped by clearing the GO/
DONE bit in software. The GO/
DONE bit must be cleared during
the last ½ TAD cycle, before the
conversion
would
have
completed automatically. Refer to
Figure 1 for details.

6.2 Oscillator Start-up Timer
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, 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 the
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 take longer
than the clock failure time-out period to start.

8.2 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. To perform this function, the Timer1 gate source is routed through a flip-flop that
changes state on every incrementing edge of the
gate signal. Timer1 Gate Toggle mode is enabled
by setting the T1GTM bit of the T1GCON register.
When working properly, clearing either the T1GTM
bit or the TMR1ON bit would also clear the output
value of this flip-flop, and hold it clear. This is done
in order to control which edge is being measured.
The issue that exists is that clearing the TMR1ON
bit does not clear the output value of the flip-flop
and hold it clear.
Work around
Clear the T1GTM bit in the T1GCON register to
clear and hold clear the output value of the flip-flop.

When using automatic baud detection (ABDEN),
on occasion, an incorrect count value can be
stored at the end of auto-baud detection in the
SPBRGH:SPBRGL (SPBRG) registers. The
SPBRG value may be off by several counts. This
condition happens sporadically when the device
clock frequency drifts to a frequency where the
SPBRG value oscillates between two different
values. The issue is present regardless of the
baud rate Configuration bit settings.
This issue only applies to the
PIC16F193X devices operating in the

When using auto-baud, it is a good practice to
always verify the obtained value of SPBRG, to
ensure it remains within the application
specifications. Two recommended methods are
shown below.
For additional auto-baud information, see
Technical Brief TB3069, “Use of Auto-Baud for
Reception of LIN Serial Communications Devices:
Mid-Range and Enhanced Mid-Range”.
EXAMPLE 2:
METHOD 1 – EUSART AUTO-BAUD DETECT WORK AROUND
In firmware, define default, minimum and maximum auto-baud (SPBRG) values according to the application requirements.
For example, if the application runs at 9600 baud at 16 MHz then, the default SPBRG value would be (assuming 16-bit/
Asynchronous mode) 0x67. The minimum and maximum allowed values can be calculated based on the application. In this
example, a +/-5% tolerance is required, so tolerance is 0x67 * 5% = 0x05.

EXAMPLE 3:
METHOD 2 – EUSART AUTO-BAUD DETECT WORK AROUND
Similar to Method 1, define default, minimum and maximum auto-baud (SPBRG) values. In firmware, compute a running average of
SPBRG. If the new SPBRG value falls outside the minimum or maximum limits, then use the current running average value
(Average_Baud), otherwise use the auto-baud SPBRG value and calculate a new running average.
For example, if the application runs at 9600 baud at 16 MHz then, the default SPBRG value would be (assuming 16-bit/
Asynchronous mode) 0x67. The minimum and maximum allowed values can be calculated based on the application. In this

11. Module: Reset
11.1 RESET Instruction
When using either the MFINTOSC or HFINTOSC
as the primary clock source, and after executing a
RESET instruction or when the device executes a
Stack Overflow/ Underflow Reset, the device might
remain in Reset.
Work around
Method 1: Use the Watchdog Timer (WDT)
to recover from this issue.
Method 2: In place of the RESET instruction,
use GOTO 0x0000.

12. Module: MSSP (Master Synchronous
Serial Port)
12.1SPI 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).

Data Sheet Clarifications
The following typographic corrections and clarifications
are to be noted for the latest version of the device data
sheet (DS41364E):
Note:
Corrections are shown in bold. Where
possible, the original bold text formatting
has been removed for clarity.
1. Module: Oscillator
5.5 Fail-Safe Clock Monitor
5.5.3
FAIL-SAFE CONDITION CLEARING
The Fail-Safe condition is cleared after a Reset,
executing a SLEEP instruction or changing the
SCS bits of the OSCCON register. When the SCS
bits are changed, the OST is restarted. While the
OST is running, the device continues to operate
from the INTOSC selected in OSCCON. 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.

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.”
