PIC18F2420/2520/4420/4520 PIC18F2420/2520/4420/4520 Rev. B2 Silicon Errata The PIC18F2420/2520/4420/4520 Rev. B2 parts you have received conform functionally to the Device Data Sheet (DS39631C), except for the anomalies described below. Any Data Sheet Clarification issues related to the PIC18F2420/2520/4420/4520 will be reported in a separate Data Sheet errata. Please check the Microchip web site for any existing issues. The following silicon errata apply only to PIC18F2420/2520/4420/4520 devices with these Device/Revision IDs: Part Number Device ID Revision ID PIC18F2420 0001 0001 010 0 0101 PIC18F2520 0001 0001 000 0 0101 PIC18F4420 0001 0000 110 0 0101 PIC18F4520 0001 0000 100 0 0101 The Device IDs (DEVID1 and DEVID2) are located at addresses 3FFFFEh:3FFFFFh in the device’s configuration space. They are shown in binary in the format “DEVID2 DEVID1”. TABLE 1: Param No. 70 1. Module: MSSP In SPI Slave mode with slave select enabled (SSPM<3:0> = 0100), the minimum time between the falling edge of the SS pin and first SCK edge is greater than specified in parameter 70 in Table 26-16 and Table 26-17. The updated specification is shown in bold in Table 1. The minimum time between the SS pin low and an SSPBUF write is also 3 TCY. If the falling edge of the SS pin occurs greater than 3 TCY before the first SCK edge, or loading SSPBUF, the peripheral will function correctly. Also, if SSPBUF is written prior to the SS pin going low, the peripheral will function correctly. Work around None. Date Codes that pertain to this issue: All engineering and production devices.

Min 3 TCY Max Units Conditions — ns DS80288G-page 1 PIC18F2420/2520/4420/4520 2. Module: MSSP 4. Module: ECCP (PWM Mode) With MSSP in SPI Master mode, FOSC/64 or Timer2/2 clock rate, and CKE = 0, a write collision may occur if SSPBUF is loaded immediately after the transfer is complete. A delay may be required after the MSSP Interrupt Flag bit, SSPIF, is set or the Buffer Full bit, BF, is set and before writing SSPBUF. If the delay is insufficiently short, a write collision may occur, as indicated by the WCOL bit being set. Work around Add a software delay of one SCK period after detecting the completed transfer and prior to updating the SSPBUF contents. Verify the WCOL bit is clear after writing SSPBUF. If the WCOL is set, clear the bit in software and rewrite the SSPBUF register. Date Codes that pertain to this issue: All engineering and production devices. 3. Module: Timer1 and Timer3 For Timer1 or Timer3, if the TMRxH and TMRxL registers are written to in consecutive instruction cycles, the timer may not be updated with the correct value when configured for externally clocked 8-Bit Asynchronous mode (T1CON<7:0> or T3CON<7:0> = 0xxx x111). Work around Insert a delay of one or more instruction cycles between writes to TMRxH and TMRxL. This delay can be a NOP, or any instruction that does not access the Timer registers (Example 1). EXAMPLE 1: CLRF MOVLW MOVWF TMR1H T1Offset TMR1L ; 1 Tcy delay Date Codes that pertain to this issue: All engineering and production devices. Note: The ECCP module is implemented only in 40/44-pin devices. When configured for half-bridge operation with dead band (CCPxCON<7:6> = 10), the PWM output may be corrupted for certain values of the PWM duty cycle. This occurs when these additional criteria are also met: • a non-zero, dead-band delay is specified (PDC6:PDC0 > 0); and • the duty cycle has a value of 0 through 3, or 4n + 3 (n ≥ 1). Work around None. Date Codes that pertain to this issue: All engineering and production devices. 5. Module: Power-up Timer The Power-up Timer (PWRT) may not function as expected during a Power-on Reset (POR) when the Brown-out Reset (BOR) is disabled. Work around Use either of the following work arounds: • Enable the BOR using any desired mode and setpoint. • If BOR operation is not desired: - Configure the BOR using BOREN<1:0> = 01 (CONFIG2L<2:1>) – BOR controlled by SBOREN. - Configure the BOR for the lowest voltage setpoint by clearing the BORV<1:0> bits (CONFIG2L<4:3>). In this configuration, the SBOREN bit resets to ‘1’, enabling the BOR. - When code execution begins following all Resets, disable the BOR by clearing the SBOREN bit (RCON<6>). Date Codes that pertain to this issue: All engineering and production devices. DS80288G-page 2 © 2007 Microchip Technology Inc. PIC18F2420/2520/4420/4520 6. Module: Enhanced Universal Synchronous Receiver Transmitter (EUSART) Register 18-3, on page 204, will be changed as shown. Work around One bit has been added to the BAUDCON register and one bit has been renamed. The added bit is RXDTP and is in the location, BAUDCON<5>. The renamed bit is the TXCKP bit (BAUDCON<4>), which had been named SCKP. The TXCKP (BAUDCON<4>) and RXDTP (BAUDCON<5>) bits enable the Synchronous mode TX and RX signals to be inverted (polarity reversed). RXDTP has no effect on the Synchronous mode DT signal. REGISTER 18-3: None required. Date Codes that pertain to this issue: All engineering and production devices.

Module: 10-Bit Analog-to-Digital Converter When the AD clock source is selected as 2 TOSC or RC (when ADCS2:ADCS0 = 000 or x11), in extremely rare cases, the EIL (Integral Linearity Error) and EDL (Differential Linearity Error) may exceed the data sheet specification at codes 511 and 512 only. 8. Module: MSSP (SPI Mode) When the SPI is using Timer2/2 as the clock source, a shorter than expected SCK pulse may occur on the first bit of the transmitted/received data (Figure 1). FIGURE 1: Work around SCK PULSE VARIATION USING TIMER2/2 Write SSPBUF Select the AD clock source as 4 TOSC, 8 TOSC, 16 TOSC, 32 TOSC or 64 TOSC and avoid selecting 2 TOSC or RC.

SCK Work around To avoid producing the short pulse, turn off Timer2 and clear the TMR2 register, load the SSPBUF with the data to transmit and then turn Timer2 back on.
