SDO 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. Refer to Example 1 for sample code. EXAMPLE 1: 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 of the above referenced data sheet.

Module: Enhanced Universal Synchronous Receiver Transmitter (EUSART) Register 18-3, on page 194, 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 TX and RX signals to be inverted (polarity reversed).

Module: 10-Bit Analog-to-Digital Converter 5. Module: Enhanced Universal Synchronous Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter (EUSART) In rare situations when interrupts are enabled, unexpected results may occur if: 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. • The EUSART is disabled (the SPEN bit, RCSTA <7>, = 0) • The EUSART is re-enabled (RCSTA <7> = 1) • A two-cycle instruction is executed Work around Work around Select the AD clock source as 4 TOSC, 8 TOSC, 16 TOSC, 32 TOSC or 64 TOSC and avoid selecting 2 TOSC or RC.

Module: Master Synchronous Serial Port (MSSP) When configured for I2C™ slave reception, the MSSP module may not receive the correct data, in extremely rare cases. This occurs only if the Serial Receive/Transmit Buffer Register (SSPBUF) is not read after the SSPIF interrupt (PIR1<3>) has occurred, but before the first rising clock edge of the next byte being received. Work around The issue can be resolved in either of these ways: • Prior to the I2C slave reception, enable the clock stretching feature. This is done by (SSPCON2<0>). setting the SEN REVISION HISTORY Rev A Document (2/2007) First revision of this document. Silicon issue 1 (MSSP) and 2 (MSSP [SPI Master] ).
