PIC16(L)F72X PIC16(L)F72X Family Silicon Errata and Data Sheet Clarification The PIC16(L)F72X family devices that you have received conform functionally to the current Device Data Sheet (DS41341E), 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)F72X 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 (AK). 5. Data Sheet clarifications and corrections start on page 7, 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). TABLE 1: 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. Note: If you are unable to extract the silicon revision level, please contact your local Microchip sales office for assistance. The DEVREV values for the various PIC16(L)F72X silicon revisions are shown in Table 1.

PIC16(L)F72X Silicon Errata Issues Note: 1.3 Incorrect Conversion below 0°C 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 (as applicable). 1. Module: ADC (Analog-to-Digital Converter) The ADC module incorrectly fails to power-down after a conversion if the device is in Sleep and the ADC interrupt is disabled. The proper operation is to power the ADC off after the conversion is complete if the device is sleeping and the ADC interrupt is disabled. Work around Use the ADC conversion complete interrupt (ADIF) to wake-up and explicitly shut down the ADC by clearing the ADON bit. Affected Silicon Revisions A9 AA AB X X X X AC AD Work around Set the ADC clock source to FOSC/2, FOSC/4 or RC. Affected Silicon Revisions 1.1 ADC Power-down in Sleep A7 In some devices, the ADC may improperly convert if the temperature is below 0°C and the ADC clock source is set to FOSC/8, FOSC/16, FOSC/32, FOSC/ 64.

Affected Silicon Revisions A7 A9 AA AB AC AD AK X X X X X X X 3. Module: Internal Oscillator 1.2 Error on Infrequent Conversions The offset error incorrectly exceeds the data sheet specifications if time between conversions is longer than 10 ms. If the time between conversions is greater than 10 ms, the offset error is 1 LSb typical and 3.3 LSb maximum. 3.1 Frequency Shift on Reset The internal oscillator module may experience a ±1% frequency shift after a Reset. The frequency shift is not consistent and could cause the oscillator to operate outside of the 2% specification. Work around Work around The time dependent error is insignificant when the time between conversions is less than 10 ms. When the time between conversions is greater than 10 ms, take two back-to-back ADC conversions and discard the results of the first conversion. To minimize the chances of experiencing the frequency shift, the following steps should be taken: Affected Silicon Revisions A7 A9 AA AB AC X X X X X AD AK 1. Operate the internal oscillator at 8 MHz or 2 MHz. 2. Use an external pull-up on MCLR or use internal MCLR mode. 3. Disable the Power Reset Timer (PWRT). 4. The bypass capacitor and the Voltage Regulator Capacitor (VCAP) should be used appropriately to minimize noise in the device.

DS80000382K-page 3 PIC16(L)F72X 3.2 Failure to Wake from Sleep 3.3 Frequency Tolerance Due to internal race conditions upon entering Sleep mode, the device will occasionally fail to wake-up from Sleep. Only a device Power-on Reset will force the device to exit Sleep mode. The frequency tolerance of the internal oscillator is ±2% from 0-60°C and ±3% from 60-85°C (see Figure 1). Work around None. Work around None. Do not use Sleep command.

Module: WDT 4.1 Minimum Operating Voltage for HS Mode 7.1 CLRWDT Instruction after WDT Time-out The minimum device VDD when using the external crystal oscillator in HS mode is 2.7V. Work around Use the internal oscillator or an external clock source if operation below 2.7V is required for the frequency range supported by HS mode. Affected Silicon Revisions A7 A9 AA AB AC AD AK X X X X X X X 5. Module: CPU 5.1 Reset on Wake Work around 1. Disable all asynchronous interrupt before going to Sleep. 2. Make sure the timing of an asynchronous interrupt will not happen during the execution of the Sleep instruction. Affected Silicon Revisions A9 X X AA Work around Wait at least 20 S after a WDT Reset before using the CLRWDT instruction. Affected Silicon Revisions A7 A9 AA AB AC X X X X X AD AK 8. Module: Interrupts If a wake from Sleep event occurs during the execution of a Sleep command, the device may reset. This Reset will be seen as a Power-on Reset to the device. A7 After a WDT Reset, the TO bit of the STATUS register remains clear until a SLEEP instruction or CLRWDT instruction is issued, then, the TO bit will be set. If the CLRWDT instruction is issued within 20 S of the Reset, the TO bit will remain clear. AB AC AD AK 8.1 Stack Push The interrupt logic incorrectly pushes two addresses to the stack when vectoring to the interrupt vector. Specifically, the interrupt vector address 0x4 is incorrectly pushed to the stack after the current PC, at the time the interrupt was received, is pushed. This will cause the stack to overflow if the user program is operating seven calls deep when an interrupt arrives. Because the stack is circular, the overflow causes the first stack address to be overwritten. Work around 6. Module: BOR Disable interrupts by clearing the GIE bit in the INTCON register whenever the user program is operating seven calls deep. This ensures that interrupts will not cause the stack to overflow. 6.1 Current Draw in Sleep Affected Silicon Revisions With the BOR set to “Enabled during operation and disabled during Sleep”, the device draws 2 A more during Sleep than when the BOR is set to “Disabled”.
