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.”
Code protection is constantly evolving. We at Microchip are committed to continuously improving the code protection features of our
products. Attempts to break Microchip’s code protection feature may be a violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. If such acts
allow unauthorized access to your software or other copyrighted work, you may have a right to sue for relief under that Act.
Information contained in this publication regarding device
applications and the like is provided only for your convenience
and may be superseded by updates. It is your responsibility to
ensure that your application meets with your specifications.

This family of devices contain an enhanced mid-range
8-bit CPU core. The CPU has 49 instructions. Interrupt
capability includes automatic context saving. The
hardware stack is 16 levels deep and has Overflow and
Underflow Reset capability. Direct, Indirect, and
Relative addressing modes are available. Two File
Select Registers (FSRs) provide the ability to read
program and data memory.

Instruction Set
2.1
Automatic Interrupt Context
Saving
During interrupts, certain registers are automatically
saved in shadow registers and restored when returning
from the interrupt. This saves stack space and user
code. See Section 7.5 “Automatic Context Saving”,
for more information.
2.2
16-level Stack with Overflow and
Underflow
These devices have an external stack memory 15 bits
wide and 16 words deep. A Stack Overflow or Underflow will set the appropriate bit (STKOVF or STKUNF)
in the PCON register, and if enabled will cause a software Reset. See section Section 3.5 “Stack” for more
details.
2.3
File Select Registers
There are two 16-bit File Select Registers (FSR). FSRs
can access all file registers and program memory,
which allows one Data Pointer for all memory. When an
FSR points to program memory, there is one additional
instruction cycle in instructions using INDF to allow the
data to be fetched. General purpose memory can now
also be addressed linearly, providing the ability to
access contiguous data larger than 80 bytes. There are
also new instructions to support the FSRs. See
Section 3.6 “Indirect Addressing” for more details.
2.4
Instruction Set
There are 49 instructions for the enhanced mid-range
CPU to support the features of the CPU. See
Section 29.0 “Instruction Set Summary” for more
details.

Program Memory Organization
The enhanced mid-range core has a 15-bit program
counter capable of addressing a 32K x 14 program
memory space. Table 3-1 shows the memory sizes
implemented for the PIC16(L)F1946/47 family.
Accessing a location above these boundaries will cause
a wrap-around within the implemented memory space.
The Reset vector is at 0000h and the interrupt vector is
at 0004h (see Figures 3-1 and 3-2).
Note 1: The Data EEPROM Memory and the
method to access Flash memory through
the EECON registers is described in

3.1.1
READING PROGRAM MEMORY AS
DATA
There are two methods of accessing constants in program memory. The first method is to use tables of
RETLW instructions. The second method is to set an
FSR to point to the program memory.
3.1.1.1
RETLW Instruction
The RETLW instruction can be used to provide access
to tables of constants. The recommended way to create
such a table is shown in Example 3-1.
EXAMPLE 3-1:
constants
BRW
RETLW

;program counter to
;select data
;Index0 data
;Index1 data
my_function
;… LOTS OF CODE…
MOVLW
DATA_INDEX
CALL constants
;… THE CONSTANT IS IN W
The BRW instruction makes this type of table very
simple to implement. If your code must remain portable
with previous generations of microcontrollers, then the
BRW instruction is not available so the older table read
method must be used.

DS41414D-page 23
PIC16(L)F1946/1947
3.1.1.2
Indirect Read with FSR
The program memory can be accessed as data by setting bit 7 of the FSRxH register and reading the matching INDFx register. The MOVIW instruction will place the
lower 8 bits of the addressed word in the W register.
Writes to the program memory cannot be performed via
the INDF registers. Instructions that access the program memory via the FSR require one extra instruction
cycle to complete. Example 3-2 demonstrates accessing the program memory via an FSR.
The HIGH directive will set bit<7> if a label points to a
location in program memory.

CORE REGISTERS
The core registers contain the registers that directly
affect the basic operation. The core registers occupy
the first 12 addresses of every data memory bank
(addresses x00h/x08h through x0Bh/x8Bh). These registers are listed below in Table 3-2. For detailed information, see Table 3-4.

Data Memory Organization
The data memory is partitioned in 32 memory banks
with 128 bytes in a bank. Each bank consists of
(Figure 3-3):
•
•
•
•
12 core registers
20 Special Function Registers (SFR)
Up to 80 bytes of General Purpose RAM (GPR)
16 bytes of common RAM
The active bank is selected by writing the bank number
into the Bank Select Register (BSR). Unimplemented
memory will read as ‘0’. All data memory can be
accessed either directly (via instructions that use the
file registers) or indirectly via the two File Select
Registers (FSR). See Section 3.6 “Indirect
Addressing” for more information.
Data Memory uses a 12-bit address. The upper 7-bits
of the address define the Bank address and the lower
5-bits select the registers/RAM in that bank.

3.2.1.1
STATUS Register
The STATUS register, shown in Register 3-1, contains:
• the arithmetic status of the ALU
• the Reset status
The STATUS register can be the destination for any
instruction, like any other register. If the STATUS
register is the destination for an instruction that affects
the Z, DC or C bits, then the write to these three bits is
disabled. These bits are set or cleared according to the
device logic. Furthermore, the TO and PD bits are not
writable. Therefore, the result of an instruction with the
STATUS register as destination may be different than
intended.
3.3
For example, CLRF STATUS will clear the upper three
bits and set the Z bit. This leaves the STATUS register
as ‘000u u1uu’ (where u = unchanged).
It is recommended, therefore, that only BCF, BSF,
SWAPF and MOVWF instructions are used to alter the
STATUS register, because these instructions do not
affect any Status bits. For other instructions not
affecting any Status bits (Refer to Section 29.0
“Instruction Set Summary”).
Note 1: The C and DC bits operate as Borrow
and Digit Borrow out bits, respectively, in
subtraction.

Note 1:
For Borrow, the polarity is reversed. A subtraction is executed by adding the two’s complement of the
second operand. For rotate (RRF, RLF) instructions, this bit is loaded with either the high-order or low-order
bit of the source register.

SPECIAL FUNCTION REGISTER
The Special Function Registers are registers used by
the application to control the desired operation of
peripheral functions in the device. The Special Function
Registers occupy the 20 bytes after the core registers of
every data memory bank (addresses x0Ch/x8Ch
through x1Fh/x9Fh). The registers associated with the
operation of the peripherals are described in the appropriate peripheral chapter of this data sheet.

PCL and PCLATH
3.4.3
COMPUTED FUNCTION CALLS
The Program Counter (PC) is 15 bits wide. The low byte
comes from the PCL register, which is a readable and
writable register. The high byte (PC<14:8>) is not directly
readable or writable and comes from PCLATH. On any
Reset, the PC is cleared. Figure 3-4 shows the five
situations for the loading of the PC.
A computed function CALL allows programs to maintain
tables of functions and provide another way to execute
state machines or look-up tables. When performing a
table read using a computed function CALL, care
should be exercised if the table location crosses a PCL
memory boundary (each 256-byte block).
FIGURE 3-4:
If using the CALL instruction, the PCH<2:0> and PCL
registers are loaded with the operand of the CALL
instruction. PCH<6:3> is loaded with PCLATH<6:3>.

BRANCHING
The branching instructions add an offset to the PC.
This allows relocatable code and code that crosses
page boundaries. There are two forms of branching,
BRW and BRA. The PC will have incremented to fetch
the next instruction in both cases. When using either
branching instruction, a PCL memory boundary may be
crossed.
If using BRW, load the W register with the desired
unsigned address and execute BRW. The entire PC will
be loaded with the address PC + 1 + W.
If using BRA, the entire PC will be loaded with PC + 1 +,
the signed value of the operand of the BRA instruction.
15
PC + W
PC
The CALLW instruction enables computed calls by combining PCLATH and W to form the destination address.
A computed CALLW is accomplished by loading the W
register with the desired address and executing CALLW.
The PCL register is loaded with the value of W and
PCH is loaded with PCLATH.

3.4.1
MODIFYING PCL
Executing any instruction with the PCL register as the
destination simultaneously causes the Program Counter PC<14:8> bits (PCH) to be replaced by the contents
of the PCLATH register. This allows the entire contents
of the program counter to be changed by writing the
desired upper 7 bits to the PCLATH register. When the
lower 8 bits are written to the PCL register, all 15 bits of
the program counter will change to the values contained in the PCLATH register and those being written
to the PCL register.
3.4.2
COMPUTED GOTO
A computed GOTO is accomplished by adding an offset to
the program counter (ADDWF PCL). When performing a
table read using a computed GOTO method, care should
be exercised if the table location crosses a PCL memory
boundary (each 256-byte block). Refer to the Application
Note AN556, “Implementing a Table Read” (DS00556).

Stack
3.5.1
The stack is available through the TOSH, TOSL and
STKPTR registers. STKPTR is the current value of the
Stack Pointer. TOSH:TOSL register pair points to the
TOP of the stack. Both registers are read/writable. TOS
is split into TOSH and TOSL due to the 15-bit size of the
PC. To access the stack, adjust the value of STKPTR,
which will position TOSH:TOSL, then read/write to
TOSH:TOSL. STKPTR is 5 bits to allow detection of
overflow and underflow.
All devices have a 16-level x 15-bit wide hardware
stack (refer to Figures 3-4 and 3-5). The stack space is
not part of either program or data space. The PC is
PUSHed onto the stack when CALL or CALLW instructions are executed or an interrupt causes a branch. The
stack is POPed in the event of a RETURN, RETLW or a
RETFIE instruction execution. PCLATH is not affected
by a PUSH or POP operation.
The stack operates as a circular buffer if the STVREN
bit is programmed to ‘0‘ (Configuration Words). This
means that after the stack has been PUSHed sixteen
times, the seventeenth PUSH overwrites the value that
was stored from the first PUSH. The eighteenth PUSH
overwrites the second PUSH (and so on). The
STKOVF and STKUNF flag bits will be set on an Overflow/Underflow, regardless of whether the Reset is
enabled.
Note:
Care should be taken when modifying the
STKPTR while interrupts are enabled.
During normal program operation, CALL, CALLW and
Interrupts will increment STKPTR while RETLW,
RETURN, and RETFIE will decrement STKPTR. At any
time STKPTR can be inspected to see how much stack
is left. The STKPTR always points at the currently used
place on the stack. Therefore, a CALL or CALLW will
increment the STKPTR and then write the PC, and a
return will unload the PC and then decrement the STKPTR.
Note 1: There are no instructions/mnemonics
called PUSH or POP. These are actions
that occur from the execution of the
CALL, CALLW, RETURN, RETLW and
RETFIE instructions or the vectoring to
an interrupt address.

When the stack is full, the next CALL or

so the stack will wrap and overwrite the
return address at 0x00. If the Stack
Overflow/Underflow Reset is enabled, a
Reset will occur and location 0x00 will
not be overwritten.
STKPTR = 0x10
OVERFLOW/UNDERFLOW RESET
If the STVREN bit in Configuration Words is
programmed to ‘1’, the device will be reset if the stack
is PUSHed beyond the sixteenth level or POPed
beyond the first level, setting the appropriate bits
(STKOVF or STKUNF, respectively) in the PCON
register.
3.6
Indirect Addressing
The INDFn registers are not physical registers. Any
instruction that accesses an INDFn register actually
accesses the register at the address specified by the
File Select Registers (FSR). If the FSRn address
specifies one of the two INDFn registers, the read will
return ‘0’ and the write will not occur (though Status bits
may be affected). The FSRn register value is created
by the pair FSRnH and FSRnL.
The FSR registers form a 16-bit address that allows an
addressing space with 65536 locations. These locations
are divided into three memory regions:
• Traditional Data Memory
• Linear Data Memory
• Program Flash Memory

LINEAR DATA MEMORY
The linear data memory is the region from FSR
address 0x2000 to FSR address 0x29AF. This region is
a virtual region that points back to the 80-byte blocks of
GPR memory in all the banks.
Unimplemented memory reads as 0x00. Use of the
linear data memory region allows buffers to be larger
than 80 bytes because incrementing the FSR beyond
one bank will go directly to the GPR memory of the next
bank.
The 16 bytes of common memory are not included in
the linear data memory region.

PROGRAM FLASH MEMORY
To make constant data access easier, the entire
program Flash memory is mapped to the upper half of
the FSR address space. When the MSB of FSRnH is
set, the lower 15 bits are the address in program
memory which will be accessed through INDF. Only the
lower 8 bits of each memory location is accessible via
INDF. Writing to the program Flash memory cannot be
accomplished via the FSR/INDF interface. All
instructions that access program Flash memory via the
FSR/INDF interface will require one additional
instruction cycle to complete.

Code Protection
Code protection allows the device to be protected from
unauthorized access. Program memory protection and
data EEPROM protection are controlled independently.
Internal access to the program memory and data
EEPROM are unaffected by any code protection
setting.
4.3.1
PROGRAM MEMORY PROTECTION
The entire program memory space is protected from
external reads and writes by the CP bit in Configuration
Words. When CP = 0, external reads and writes of
program memory are inhibited and a read will return all
‘0’s. The CPU can continue to read program memory,
regardless of the protection bit settings. Writing the
program memory is dependent upon the write
protection
setting.
See
Section 4.4
“Write
Protection” for more information.
4.3.2
DATA EEPROM PROTECTION
The entire data EEPROM is protected from external
reads and writes by the CPD bit. When CPD = 0,
external reads and writes of data EEPROM are
inhibited. The CPU can continue to read and write data
EEPROM regardless of the protection bit settings.
4.4
Write Protection
Write protection allows the device to be protected from
unintended self-writes. Applications, such as
bootloader software, can be protected while allowing
other regions of the program memory to be modified.
The WRT<1:0> bits in Configuration Words define the
size of the program memory block that is protected.
4.5
User ID
Four memory locations (8000h-8003h) are designated
as ID locations where the user can store checksum or
other code identification numbers. These locations are
readable and writable during normal execution. See
Section 4.6 “Device ID and Revision ID” for more
information on accessing these memory locations. For
more information on checksum calculation, see the

OSCILLATOR MODULE (WITH
FAIL-SAFE CLOCK MONITOR)
5.1
Overview
The oscillator module has a wide variety of clock
sources and selection features that allow it to be used
in a wide range of applications while maximizing performance and minimizing power consumption. Figure 5-1
illustrates a block diagram of the oscillator module.
Clock sources can be supplied from external oscillators,
quartz crystal resonators, ceramic resonators and
Resistor-Capacitor (RC) circuits. In addition, the system
clock source can be supplied from one of two internal
oscillators and PLL circuits, with a choice of speeds
selectable via software. Additional clock features
include:
• Selectable system clock source between external
or internal sources via software.
• Two-Speed Start-up mode, which minimizes
latency between external oscillator start-up and
code execution.
• Fail-Safe Clock Monitor (FSCM) designed to
detect a failure of the external clock source (LP,
XT, HS, EC or RC modes) and switch
automatically to the internal oscillator.
• Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) ensures stability
of crystal oscillator sources
 2010-2012 Microchip Technology Inc.
The oscillator module can be configured in one of eight
clock modes.

ECL – External Clock Low Power mode
(0 MHz to 0.5 MHz)
ECM – External Clock Medium Power mode
(0.5 MHz to 4 MHz)
ECH – External Clock High Power mode
(4 MHz to 32 MHz)
LP – 32 kHz Low-Power Crystal mode.
XT – Medium Gain Crystal or Ceramic Resonator
Oscillator mode (up to 4 MHz)
HS – High Gain Crystal or Ceramic Resonator
mode (4 MHz to 20 MHz)
RC – External Resistor-Capacitor (RC).
INTOSC – Internal oscillator (31 kHz to 32 MHz).
Clock Source modes are selected by the FOSC<2:0>
bits in the Configuration Words. The FOSC bits
determine the type of oscillator that will be used when
the device is first powered.
The EC clock mode relies on an external logic level
signal as the device clock source. The LP, XT, and HS
clock modes require an external crystal or resonator to
be connected to the device. Each mode is optimized for
a different frequency range. The RC clock mode
requires an external resistor and capacitor to set the
oscillator frequency.
The INTOSC internal oscillator block produces low,
medium, and high frequency clock sources, designated
LFINTOSC, MFINTOSC, and HFINTOSC. (see
Internal Oscillator Block, Figure 5-1). A wide selection
of device clock frequencies may be derived from these
three clock sources.

Clock Source Types
Clock sources can be classified as external or internal.
External clock sources rely on external circuitry for the
clock source to function. Examples are: oscillator modules (EC mode), quartz crystal resonators or ceramic
resonators (LP, XT and HS modes) and Resistor-Capacitor (RC) mode circuits.
Internal clock sources are contained within the
oscillator module. The internal oscillator block has two
internal oscillators and a dedicated Phase-Lock Loop
(HFPLL) that are used to generate three internal
system clock sources: the 16 MHz High-Frequency
Internal Oscillator (HFINTOSC), 500 kHZ (MFINTOSC)
and the 31 kHz Low-Frequency Internal Oscillator
(LFINTOSC).
The system clock can be selected between external or
internal clock sources via the System Clock Select
(SCS) bits in the OSCCON register. See Section 5.3
“Clock Switching” for additional information.

EXTERNAL CLOCK SOURCES
An external clock source can be used as the device
system clock by performing one of the following
actions:
• Program the FOSC<2:0> bits in the Configuration
Words to select an external clock source that will
be used as the default system clock upon a
device Reset.
• Write the SCS<1:0> bits in the OSCCON register
to switch the system clock source to:
- Timer1 oscillator during run-time, or
- An external clock source determined by the
value of the FOSC bits.
See Section 5.3 “Clock Switching”for more information.
5.2.1.1
The Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) is disabled when
EC mode is selected. Therefore, there is no delay in
operation after a Power-on Reset (POR) or wake-up
from Sleep. Because the PIC® MCU design is fully
static, stopping the external clock input will have the
effect of halting the device while leaving all data intact.
Upon restarting the external clock, the device will
resume operation as if no time had elapsed.
EC Mode
The External Clock (EC) mode allows an externally
generated logic level signal to be the system clock
source. When operating in this mode, an external clock
source is connected to the OSC1 input.
OSC2/CLKOUT is available for general purpose I/O or
CLKOUT. Figure 5-2 shows the pin connections for EC
mode.
5.2.1.2
LP, XT, HS Modes
The LP, XT and HS modes support the use of quartz
crystal resonators or ceramic resonators connected to
OSC1 and OSC2 (Figure 5-3). The three modes select
a low, medium or high gain setting of the internal
inverter-amplifier to support various resonator types
and speed.
LP Oscillator mode selects the lowest gain setting of the
internal inverter-amplifier. LP mode current consumption
is the least of the three modes. This mode is designed to
drive only 32.768 kHz tuning-fork type crystals (watch
crystals).
XT Oscillator mode selects the intermediate gain
setting of the internal inverter-amplifier. XT mode
current consumption is the medium of the three modes.
This mode is best suited to drive resonators with a
medium drive level specification.
HS Oscillator mode selects the highest gain setting of the
internal inverter-amplifier. HS mode current consumption
is the highest of the three modes. This mode is best
suited for resonators that require a high drive setting.
Figure 5-3 and Figure 5-4 show typical circuits for
quartz crystal and ceramic resonators, respectively.
EC mode has 3 power modes to select from through
Configuration Words:
• High power, 4-32 MHz (FOSC = 111)
• Medium power, 0.5-4 MHz (FOSC = 110)
• Low power, 0-0.5 MHz (FOSC = 101)

5.2.1.3
Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST)
If the oscillator module is configured for LP, XT or HS
modes, the Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) counts
1024 oscillations from OSC1. This occurs following a
Power-on Reset (POR) and when the Power-up Timer
(PWRT) has expired (if configured), or a wake-up from
Sleep. During this time, the program counter does not
increment and program execution is suspended. The
OST ensures that the oscillator circuit, using a quartz
crystal resonator or ceramic resonator, has started and
is providing a stable system clock to the oscillator
module.
In order to minimize latency between external oscillator
start-up and code execution, the Two-Speed Clock
Start-up mode can be selected (see Section 5.4
“Two-Speed Clock Start-up Mode”).
5.2.1.4
4x PLL
The oscillator module contains a 4x PLL that can be
used with both external and internal clock sources to
provide a system clock source. The input frequency for
the 4x PLL must fall within specifications. See the PLL
Clock Timing Specifications in Section 30.0
“Electrical Specifications”.
The 4x PLL may be enabled for use by one of two
methods:

TIMER1 Oscillator
External RC Mode
The Timer1 Oscillator is a separate crystal oscillator
that is associated with the Timer1 peripheral. It is optimized for timekeeping operations with a 32.768 kHz
crystal connected between the T1OSO and T1OSI
device pins.
The external Resistor-Capacitor (RC) modes support
the use of an external RC circuit. This allows the
designer maximum flexibility in frequency choice while
keeping costs to a minimum when clock accuracy is not
required.
The Timer1 Oscillator can be used as an alternate system clock source and can be selected during run-time
using clock switching. Refer to Section 5.3 “Clock
Switching” for more information.
The RC circuit connects to OSC1. OSC2/CLKOUT is
available for general purpose I/O or CLKOUT. The
function of the OSC2/CLKOUT pin is determined by the
CLKOUTEN bit in Configuration Words.

INTERNAL CLOCK SOURCES
The device may be configured to use the internal oscillator block as the system clock by performing one of the
following actions:
• Program the FOSC<2:0> bits in Configuration
Words to select the INTOSC clock source, which
will be used as the default system clock upon a
device Reset.
• Write the SCS<1:0> bits in the OSCCON register
to switch the system clock source to the internal
oscillator during run-time. See Section 5.3
“Clock Switching”for more information.
In INTOSC mode, OSC1/CLKIN is available for general
purpose I/O. OSC2/CLKOUT is available for general
purpose I/O or CLKOUT.
The function of the OSC2/CLKOUT pin is determined
by the CLKOUTEN bit in Configuration Words.
The internal oscillator block has two independent
oscillators and a dedicated Phase-Lock Loop, HFPLL
that can produce one of three internal system clock
sources.

The HFINTOSC (High-Frequency Internal
Oscillator) is factory calibrated and operates at
16 MHz. The HFINTOSC source is generated
from the 500 kHz MFINTOSC source and the
dedicated Phase-Lock Loop, HFPLL. The
frequency of the HFINTOSC can be
user-adjusted via software using the OSCTUNE
register (Register 5-3).
The MFINTOSC (Medium-Frequency Internal
Oscillator) is factory calibrated and operates at
500 kHz. The frequency of the MFINTOSC can
be user-adjusted via software using the
OSCTUNE register (Register 5-3).
The LFINTOSC (Low-Frequency Internal
Oscillator) is uncalibrated and operates at
31 kHz.
5.2.2.1
HFINTOSC
The High-Frequency Internal Oscillator (HFINTOSC) is
a factory calibrated 16 MHz internal clock source. The
frequency of the HFINTOSC can be altered via
software using the OSCTUNE register (Register 5-3).
The output of the HFINTOSC connects to a postscaler
and multiplexer (see Figure 5-1). One of multiple
frequencies derived from the HFINTOSC can be
selected via software using the IRCF<3:0> bits of the
OSCCON register. See Section 5.2.2.7 “Internal
Oscillator Clock Switch Timing” for more information.
The HFINTOSC is enabled by:
• Configure the IRCF<3:0> bits of the OSCCON
register for the desired HF frequency, and
• FOSC<2:0> = 100, or
• Set the System Clock Source (SCS) bits of the
OSCCON register to ‘1x’.
A fast start-up oscillator allows internal circuits to
power-up and stabilize before switching to HFINTOSC.
The High-Frequency Internal Oscillator Ready bit
(HFIOFR) of the OSCSTAT register indicates when the
HFINTOSC is running.
The High-Frequency Internal Oscillator Status Locked
bit (HFIOFL) of the OSCSTAT register indicates when
the HFINTOSC is running within 2% of its final value.
The High-Frequency Internal Oscillator Stable bit
(HFIOFS) of the OSCSTAT register indicates when the
HFINTOSC is running within 0.5% of its final value.
5.2.2.2
MFINTOSC
The
Medium-Frequency
Internal
Oscillator
(MFINTOSC) is a factory calibrated 500 kHz internal

The output of the MFINTOSC connects to a postscaler
and multiplexer (see Figure 5-1). One of nine
frequencies derived from the MFINTOSC can be
selected via software using the IRCF<3:0> bits of the
OSCCON register. See Section 5.2.2.7 “Internal
Oscillator Clock Switch Timing” for more information.
The MFINTOSC is enabled by:
• Configure the IRCF<3:0> bits of the OSCCON
register for the desired HF frequency, and
• FOSC<2:0> = 100, or
• Set the System Clock Source (SCS) bits of the
OSCCON register to ‘1x’
The Medium-Frequency Internal Oscillator Ready bit
(MFIOFR) of the OSCSTAT register indicates when the
MFINTOSC is running.

5.2.2.3
Internal Oscillator Frequency
Adjustment
The 500 kHz internal oscillator is factory calibrated.
This internal oscillator can be adjusted in software by
writing to the OSCTUNE register (Register 5-3). Since
the HFINTOSC and MFINTOSC clock sources are
derived from the 500 kHz internal oscillator a change in
the OSCTUNE register value will apply to both.
The default value of the OSCTUNE register is ‘0’. The
value is a 6-bit two’s complement number. A value of
1Fh will provide an adjustment to the maximum
frequency. A value of 20h will provide an adjustment to
the minimum frequency.
When the OSCTUNE register is modified, the oscillator
frequency will begin shifting to the new frequency. Code
execution continues during this shift. There is no
indication that the shift has occurred.
OSCTUNE does not affect the LFINTOSC frequency.
Operation of features that depend on the LFINTOSC
clock source frequency, such as the Power-up Timer
(PWRT), Watchdog Timer (WDT), Fail-Safe Clock
Monitor (FSCM) and peripherals, are not affected by the
change in frequency.
5.2.2.4
LFINTOSC
The Low-Frequency Internal Oscillator (LFINTOSC) is
an uncalibrated 31 kHz internal clock source.
The output of the LFINTOSC connects to a postscaler
and multiplexer (see Figure 5-1). Select 31 kHz, via
software, using the IRCF<3:0> bits of the OSCCON
register. See Section 5.2.2.7 “Internal Oscillator
Clock Switch Timing” for more information. The
LFINTOSC is also the frequency for the Power-up Timer
(PWRT), Watchdog Timer (WDT) and Fail-Safe Clock
Monitor (FSCM).
The LFINTOSC is enabled by selecting 31 kHz
(IRCF<3:0> bits of the OSCCON register = 000) as the
system clock source (SCS bits of the OSCCON
register = 1x), or when any of the following are
enabled:

the following frequencies can be selected via software:
• HFINTOSC
- 32 MHz (requires 4x PLL)
- 16 MHz
- 8 MHz
- 4 MHz
- 2 MHz

Note:
Following any Reset, the IRCF<3:0> bits
of the OSCCON register are set to ‘0111’
and the frequency selection is set to
500 kHz. The user can modify the IRCF
bits to select a different frequency.
The IRCF<3:0> bits of the OSCCON register allow
duplicate selections for some frequencies. These duplicate choices can offer system design trade-offs. Lower
power consumption can be obtained when changing
oscillator sources for a given frequency. Faster transition times can be obtained between frequency changes
that use the same oscillator source.
• Configure the IRCF<3:0> bits of the OSCCON
register for the desired LF frequency, and
• FOSC<2:0> = 100, or
• Set the System Clock Source (SCS) bits of the

• The IRCF bits in the OSCCON register must be
set to the 8 MHz HFINTOSC set to use
(IRCF<3:0> = 1110).
• The SPLLEN bit in the OSCCON register must be

Note:
When using the PLLEN bit of the
Configuration Words, the 4xPLL cannot
be disabled by software and the 8 MHz

Internal Oscillator Clock Switch
Timing
When switching between the HFINTOSC, MFINTOSC
and the LFINTOSC, the new oscillator may already be
shut down to save power (see Figure 5-7). If this is the
case, there is a delay after the IRCF<3:0> bits of the
OSCCON register are modified before the frequency
selection takes place. The OSCSTAT register will
reflect the current active status of the HFINTOSC,
MFINTOSC and LFINTOSC oscillators. The sequence
of a frequency selection is as follows:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
IRCF<3:0> bits of the OSCCON register are
modified.
If the new clock is shut down, a clock start-up
delay is started.
Clock switch circuitry waits for a falling edge of
the current clock.
The current clock is held low and the clock
switch circuitry waits for a rising edge in the new
clock.
The new clock is now active.
The OSCSTAT register is updated as required.
Clock switch is complete.
See Figure 5-7 for more details.
If the internal oscillator speed is switched between two
clocks of the same source, there is no start-up delay
before the new frequency is selected. Clock switching
time delays are shown in Table 5-1.
Start-up delay specifications are located in the
oscillator tables of Section 30.0 “Electrical
Specifications”

Clock Switching
5.3.3
TIMER1 OSCILLATOR
The system clock source can be switched between
external and internal clock sources via software using
the System Clock Select (SCS) bits of the OSCCON
register. The following clock sources can be selected
using the SCS bits:
The Timer1 oscillator is a separate crystal oscillator
associated with the Timer1 peripheral. It is optimized
for timekeeping operations with a 32.768 kHz crystal
connected between the T1OSO and T1OSI device
pins.
• Default system oscillator determined by FOSC
bits in Configuration Words
• Timer1 32 kHz crystal oscillator
• Internal Oscillator Block (INTOSC)
The Timer1 oscillator is enabled using the T1OSCEN
control bit in the T1CON register. See Section 21.0
“Timer1 Module with Gate Control” for more
information about the Timer1 peripheral.
5.3.1
SYSTEM CLOCK SELECT (SCS)
BITS
The System Clock Select (SCS) bits of the OSCCON
register selects the system clock source that is used for
the CPU and peripherals.
• When the SCS bits of the OSCCON register = 00,
the system clock source is determined by value of
the FOSC<2:0> bits in the Configuration Words.
• When the SCS bits of the OSCCON register = 01,
the system clock source is the Timer1 oscillator.
• When the SCS bits of the OSCCON register = 1x,
the system clock source is chosen by the internal
oscillator frequency selected by the IRCF<3:0>
bits of the OSCCON register. After a Reset, the
SCS bits of the OSCCON register are always
cleared.
Note:
5.3.4
TIMER1 OSCILLATOR READY
(T1OSCR) BIT
The user must ensure that the Timer1 oscillator is
ready to be used before it is selected as a system clock
source. The Timer1 Oscillator Ready (T1OSCR) bit of
the OSCSTAT register indicates whether the Timer1
oscillator is ready to be used. After the T1OSCR bit is
set, the SCS bits can be configured to select the Timer1
oscillator.
Any automatic clock switch, which may
occur from Two-Speed Start-up or
Fail-Safe Clock Monitor, does not update
the SCS bits of the OSCCON register. The
user can monitor the OSTS bit of the
OSCSTAT register to determine the current
system clock source.
When switching between clock sources, a delay is
required to allow the new clock to stabilize. These oscillator delays are shown in Table 5-1.
5.3.2
OSCILLATOR START-UP TIME-OUT
STATUS (OSTS) BIT
The Oscillator Start-up Time-out Status (OSTS) bit of
the OSCSTAT register indicates whether the system
clock is running from the external clock source, as
defined by the FOSC<2:0> bits in the Configuration
Words, or from the internal clock source. In particular,
OSTS indicates that the Oscillator Start-up Timer
(OST) has timed out for LP, XT or HS modes. The OST
does not reflect the status of the Timer1 oscillator.

5.4
Two-Speed Clock Start-up Mode
5.4.1
Two-Speed Start-up mode provides additional power
savings by minimizing the latency between external
oscillator start-up and code execution. In applications
that make heavy use of the Sleep mode, Two-Speed
Start-up will remove the external oscillator start-up
time from the time spent awake and can reduce the
overall power consumption of the device. This mode
allows the application to wake-up from Sleep, perform
a few instructions using the INTOSC internal oscillator
block as the clock source and go back to Sleep without
waiting for the external oscillator to become stable.
Two-Speed Start-up provides benefits when the oscillator module is configured for LP, XT, or HS modes.
The Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) is enabled for
these modes and must count 1024 oscillations before
the oscillator can be used as the system clock source.
TWO-SPEED START-UP MODE
CONFIGURATION
Two-Speed Start-up mode is configured by the
following settings:
• IESO (of the Configuration Words) = 1; Internal/External Switchover bit (Two-Speed Start-up
mode enabled).
• SCS (of the OSCCON register) = 00.
• FOSC<2:0> bits in the Configuration Words
configured for LP, XT or HS mode.
Two-Speed Start-up mode is entered after:
• Power-on Reset (POR) and, if enabled, after
Power-up Timer (PWRT) has expired, or
• Wake-up from Sleep.
If the oscillator module is configured for any mode
other than LP, XT or HS mode, then Two-Speed
Start-up is disabled. This is because the external clock
oscillator does not require any stabilization time after
POR or an exit from Sleep.
If the OST count reaches 1024 before the device
enters Sleep mode, the OSTS bit of the OSCSTAT register is set and program execution switches to the
external oscillator. However, the system may never
operate from the external oscillator if the time spent
awake is very short.
Note:
Executing a SLEEP instruction will abort
the oscillator start-up time and will cause
the OSTS bit of the OSCSTAT register to
remain clear.

Fail-Safe Clock Monitor
5.5.3
The Fail-Safe Clock Monitor (FSCM) allows the device
to continue operating should the external oscillator fail.
The FSCM can detect oscillator failure any time after
the Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) has expired. The
FSCM is enabled by setting the FCMEN bit in the
Configuration Words. The FSCM is applicable to all
external Oscillator modes (LP, XT, HS, EC, Timer1
Oscillator and RC).

5.5.1
FAIL-SAFE DETECTION
The FSCM module detects a failed oscillator by
comparing the external oscillator to the FSCM sample
clock. The sample clock is generated by dividing the
LFINTOSC by 64. See Figure 5-9. Inside the fail
detector block is a latch. The external clock sets the
latch on each falling edge of the external clock. The
sample clock clears the latch on each rising edge of the
sample clock. A failure is detected when an entire
half-cycle of the sample clock elapses before the
external clock goes low.
5.5.2
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.
5.5.4
Clock
Failure
Detected
FAIL-SAFE CONDITION CLEARING
RESET OR WAKE-UP FROM SLEEP
The FSCM is designed to detect an oscillator failure
after the Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) has expired.
The OST is used after waking up from Sleep and after
any type of Reset. The OST is not used with the EC or
RC Clock modes so that the FSCM will be active as
soon as the Reset or wake-up has completed. When
the FSCM is enabled, the Two-Speed Start-up is also
enabled. Therefore, the device will always be executing
code while the OST is operating.
Note:
Due to the wide range of oscillator start-up
times, the Fail-Safe circuit is not active
during oscillator start-up (i.e., after exiting
Reset or Sleep). After an appropriate
amount of time, the user should check the
Status bits in the OSCSTAT register to
verify the oscillator start-up and that the
system clock switchover has successfully
completed.
FAIL-SAFE OPERATION
When the external clock fails, the FSCM switches the
device clock to an internal clock source and sets the bit
flag OSFIF of the PIR2 register. Setting this flag will
generate an interrupt if the OSFIE bit of the PIE2
register is also set. The device firmware can then take
steps to mitigate the problems that may arise from a
failed clock. The system clock will continue to be
sourced from the internal clock source until the device
firmware successfully restarts the external oscillator
and switches back to external operation.
The internal clock source chosen by the FSCM is
determined by the IRCF<3:0> bits of the OSCCON
register. This allows the internal oscillator to be
configured before a failure occurs.

Brown-Out Reset (BOR)
The POR circuit holds the device in Reset until VDD has
reached an acceptable level for minimum operation.
Slow rising VDD, fast operating speeds or analog
performance may require greater than minimum VDD.
The PWRT, BOR or MCLR features can be used to
extend the start-up period until all device operation

The BOR circuit holds the device in Reset when VDD
reaches a selectable minimum level. Between the
POR and BOR, complete voltage range coverage for

POWER-UP TIMER (PWRT)
The Power-up Timer provides a nominal 64 ms timeout on POR or Brown-out Reset.
The device is held in Reset as long as PWRT is active.
The PWRT delay allows additional time for the VDD to
rise to an acceptable level. The Power-up Timer is
enabled by clearing the PWRTE bit in Configuration
Words.
The Power-up Timer starts after the release of the POR
and BOR.
For additional information, refer to Application Note
AN607, “Power-up Trouble Shooting” (DS00607).
TABLE 6-1:
The Brown-out Reset module has four operating
modes controlled by the BOREN<1:0> bits in Configuration Words. The four operating modes are:
BOR is always on
BOR is off when in Sleep
BOR is controlled by software
BOR is always off
Refer to Table 6-1 for more information.
The Brown-out Reset voltage level is selectable by
configuring the BORV bit in Configuration Words.
A VDD noise rejection filter prevents the BOR from triggering on small events. If VDD falls below VBOR for a
duration greater than parameter TBORDC, the device
will reset. See Figure 6-2 for more information.

circuit is forced on by the BOREN<1:0> bits.
6.2.1
BOR IS ALWAYS ON
When the BOREN bits of Configuration Words are programmed to ‘11’, the BOR is always on. The device
start-up will be delayed until the BOR is ready and VDD
is higher than the BOR threshold.
BOR protection is active during Sleep. The BOR does
not delay wake-up from Sleep.
6.2.2
BOR IS OFF IN SLEEP
When the BOREN bits of Configuration Words are programmed to ‘10’, the BOR is on, except in Sleep. The
device start-up will be delayed until the BOR is ready
and VDD is higher than the BOR threshold.
6.2.3
BOR CONTROLLED BY SOFTWARE
When the BOREN bits of Configuration Words are programmed to ‘01’, the BOR is controlled by the SBOREN bit of the BORCON register. The device start-up
is not delayed by the BOR ready condition or the VDD
level.
BOR protection begins as soon as the BOR circuit is
ready. The status of the BOR circuit is reflected in the
BORRDY bit of the BORCON register.
BOR protection is unchanged by Sleep.
BOR protection is not active during Sleep. The device
wake-up will be delayed until the BOR is ready.

MCLR
6.8
The MCLR is an optional external input that can reset
the device. The MCLR function is controlled by the
MCLRE bit of Configuration Words and the LVP bit of
Configuration Words (Table 6-2).

6.4.1
MCLR ENABLED
When MCLR is enabled and the pin is held low, the
device is held in Reset. The MCLR pin is connected to
VDD through an internal weak pull-up.
The device has a noise filter in the MCLR Reset path.
The filter will detect and ignore small pulses.
Note:
6.4.2
A Reset does not drive the MCLR pin low.
MCLR DISABLED
When MCLR is disabled, the pin functions as a general
purpose input and the internal weak pull-up is under
software control. See Section 12.15 “PORTG
Registers” for more information.
6.5
Watchdog Timer (WDT) Reset
The Watchdog Timer generates a Reset if the firmware
does not issue a CLRWDT instruction within the time-out
period. The TO and PD bits in the STATUS register are
changed to indicate the WDT Reset. See Section 10.0
“Watchdog Timer (WDT)” for more information.
6.6
Programming Mode Exit
Upon exit of Programming mode, the device will
behave as if a POR had just occurred.
6.9
Power-Up Timer
The Power-up Timer optionally delays device execution
after a BOR or POR event. This timer is typically used to
allow VDD to stabilize before allowing the device to start
running.
The Power-up Timer is controlled by the PWRTE bit of
Configuration Words.
6.10
Start-up Sequence
Upon the release of a POR or BOR, the following must
occur before the device will begin executing:
1.
2.
3.
Power-up Timer runs to completion (if enabled).
Oscillator start-up timer runs to completion (if
required for oscillator source).
MCLR must be released (if enabled).
The total time-out will vary based on oscillator configuration and Power-up Timer configuration. See
Section 5.0 “Oscillator Module (With Fail-Safe
Clock Monitor)” for more information.
The Power-up Timer and oscillator start-up timer run
independently of MCLR Reset. If MCLR is kept low long
enough, the Power-up Timer and oscillator start-up
timer will expire. Upon bringing MCLR high, the device
will begin execution immediately (see Figure 6-3). This
is useful for testing purposes or to synchronize more
than one device operating in parallel.
RESET Instruction
A RESET instruction will cause a device Reset. The RI
bit in the PCON register will be set to ‘0’. See Table 6-4
for default conditions after a RESET instruction has
occurred.
6.7
Stack Overflow/Underflow Reset
The device can reset when the Stack Overflows or
Underflows. The STKOVF or STKUNF bits of the PCON
register indicate the Reset condition. These Resets are
enabled by setting the STVREN bit in Configuration
Words. See Section 3.5.2 “Overflow/Underflow
Reset” for more information.

INTERRUPTS
The interrupt feature allows certain events to preempt
normal program flow. Firmware is used to determine
the source of the interrupt and act accordingly. Some
interrupts can be configured to wake the MCU from
Sleep mode.

7.1
Operation
Interrupts are disabled upon any device Reset. They
are enabled by setting the following bits:
• GIE bit of the INTCON register
• Interrupt Enable bit(s) for the specific interrupt
event(s)
• PEIE bit of the INTCON register (if the Interrupt
Enable bit of the interrupt event is contained in the
PIE1, PIE2, PIE3 and PIE4 registers)
7.2
Interrupt Latency
Interrupt latency is defined as the time from when the
interrupt event occurs to the time code execution at the
interrupt vector begins. The latency for synchronous
interrupts is 3 or 4 instruction cycles. For asynchronous
interrupts, the latency is 3 to 5 instruction cycles,
depending on when the interrupt occurs. See Figure 7-2
and Figure 7-3 for more details.
The INTCON, PIR1, PIR2, PIR3 and PIR4 registers
record individual interrupts via interrupt flag bits. Interrupt flag bits will be set, regardless of the status of the
GIE, PEIE and individual interrupt enable bits.
The following events happen when an interrupt event
occurs while the GIE bit is set:
• Current prefetched instruction is flushed
• GIE bit is cleared
• Current Program Counter (PC) is pushed onto the
stack
• Critical registers are automatically saved to the
shadow registers (See “Section 7.5 “Automatic
Context Saving”.”)
• PC is loaded with the interrupt vector 0004h
The firmware within the Interrupt Service Routine (ISR)
should determine the source of the interrupt by polling
the interrupt flag bits. The interrupt flag bits must be
cleared before exiting the ISR to avoid repeated
interrupts. Because the GIE bit is cleared, any interrupt
that occurs while executing the ISR will be recorded
through its interrupt flag, but will not cause the
processor to redirect to the interrupt vector.
The RETFIE instruction exits the ISR by popping the
previous address from the stack, restoring the saved
context from the shadow registers and setting the GIE
bit.
For additional information on a specific interrupt’s
operation, refer to its peripheral chapter.
Note 1: Individual interrupt flag bits are set,
regardless of the state of any other
enable bits.
2: All interrupts will be ignored while the GIE
bit is cleared. Any interrupt occurring
while the GIE bit is clear will be serviced
when the GIE bit is set again.

7.3
Interrupts During Sleep
Some interrupts can be used to wake from Sleep. To
wake from Sleep, the peripheral must be able to
operate without the system clock. The interrupt source
must have the appropriate Interrupt Enable bit(s) set
prior to entering Sleep.
On waking from Sleep, if the GIE bit is also set, the
processor will branch to the interrupt vector. Otherwise,
the processor will continue executing instructions after
the SLEEP instruction. The instruction directly after the
SLEEP instruction will always be executed before
branching to the ISR. Refer to the Section 9.0 “PowerDown Mode (Sleep)”for more details.
7.4
INT Pin
The INT pin can be used to generate an asynchronous
edge-triggered interrupt. This interrupt is enabled by
setting the INTE bit of the INTCON register. The
INTEDG bit of the OPTION_REG register determines on
which edge the interrupt will occur. When the INTEDG
bit is set, the rising edge will cause the interrupt. When
the INTEDG bit is clear, the falling edge will cause the
interrupt. The INTF bit of the INTCON register will be set
when a valid edge appears on the INT pin. If the GIE and
INTE bits are also set, the processor will redirect
program execution to the interrupt vector.
7.5
Automatic Context Saving
Upon entering an interrupt, the return PC address is
saved on the stack. Additionally, the following registers
are automatically saved in the Shadow registers:
•
•
•
•
•
W register
STATUS register (except for TO and PD)
BSR register
FSR registers
PCLATH register
Upon exiting the Interrupt Service Routine, these registers are automatically restored. Any modifications to
these registers during the ISR will be lost. If modifications to any of these registers are desired, the corresponding Shadow register should be modified and the
value will be restored when exiting the ISR. The
Shadow registers are available in Bank 31 and are
readable and writable. Depending on the user’s application, other registers may also need to be saved.

Interrupt flag bits are set when an interrupt
condition occurs, regardless of the state of

Enable bit, GIE, of the INTCON register.
User software should ensure the appropriate interrupt flag bits are clear prior to
enabling an interrupt.

LOW DROPOUT (LDO)
VOLTAGE REGULATOR
The PIC16F1946/47 has an internal Low Dropout
Regulator (LDO) which provides operation above 3.6V.
The LDO regulates a voltage for the internal device
logic while permitting the VDD and I/O pins to operate
at a higher voltage. There is no user enable/disable
control available for the LDO, it is always active. The
PIC16LF1946/47 operates at a maximum VDD of 3.6V
and does not incorporate an LDO.
On power-up, the external capacitor will load the LDO
voltage regulator. To prevent erroneous operation, the
device is held in Reset while a constant current source
charges the external capacitor. After the cap is fully
charged, the device is released from Reset. For more
information on the constant current rate, refer to the
LDO Regulator Characteristics Table in Section 30.0
“Electrical Specifications”.
A device I/O pin may be configured as the LDO voltage
output, identified as the VCAP pin. Although not
required, an external low-ESR capacitor may be connected to the VCAP pin for additional regulator stability.
The VCAPEN bit of Configuration Words enables or disables the VCAP pin. Refer to Table 8-1.

POWER-DOWN MODE (SLEEP)
9.1
Wake-up from Sleep
The Power-Down mode is entered by executing a
SLEEP instruction.
The device can wake-up from Sleep through one of the
following events:
Upon entering Sleep mode, the following conditions
exist:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
1.
WDT will be cleared but keeps running, if
enabled for operation during Sleep.
2. PD bit of the STATUS register is cleared.
3. TO bit of the STATUS register is set.
4. CPU clock is disabled.
5. 31 kHz LFINTOSC is unaffected and peripherals
that operate from it may continue operation in
Sleep.
6. Timer1 oscillator is unaffected and peripherals
that operate from it may continue operation in
Sleep.
7. ADC is unaffected, if the dedicated FRC clock is
selected.
8. Capacitive Sensing oscillator is unaffected.
9. I/O ports maintain the status they had before
SLEEP was executed (driving high, low or highimpedance).
10. Resets other than WDT are not affected by
Sleep mode.
Refer to individual chapters for more details on
peripheral operation during Sleep.
To minimize current consumption, the following conditions should be considered:
•
•
•
•
•
•
I/O pins should not be floating
External circuitry sinking current from I/O pins
Internal circuitry sourcing current from I/O pins
Current draw from pins with internal weak pull-ups
Modules using 31 kHz LFINTOSC
Modules using Timer1 oscillator
External Reset input on MCLR pin, if enabled
BOR Reset, if enabled
POR Reset
Watchdog Timer, if enabled
Any external interrupt
Interrupts by peripherals capable of running during Sleep (see individual peripheral for more
information)
The first three events will cause a device Reset. The
last three events are considered a continuation of program execution. To determine whether a device Reset
or wake-up event occurred, refer to Section 6.11
“Determining the Cause of a Reset”.
When the SLEEP instruction is being executed, the next
instruction (PC + 1) is prefetched. For the device to
wake-up through an interrupt event, the corresponding
interrupt enable bit must be enabled. Wake-up will
occur regardless of the state of the GIE bit. If the GIE
bit is disabled, the device continues execution at the
instruction after the SLEEP instruction. If the GIE bit is
enabled, the device executes the instruction after the
SLEEP instruction, the device will then call the Interrupt
Service Routine. In cases where the execution of the
instruction following SLEEP is not desirable, the user
should have a NOP after the SLEEP instruction.
The WDT is cleared when the device wakes up from
Sleep, regardless of the source of wake-up.
I/O pins that are high-impedance inputs should be
pulled to VDD or VSS externally to avoid switching
currents caused by floating inputs.
Examples of internal circuitry that might be sourcing
current include modules such as the DAC and FVR
modules. See Section 17.0 “Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) Module” and Section 14.0 “Fixed Voltage Reference (FVR)” for more information on these
modules.

9.1.1
WAKE-UP USING INTERRUPTS
• If the interrupt occurs during or after the execution of a SLEEP instruction
- SLEEP instruction will be completely executed
- Device will immediately wake-up from Sleep
- WDT and WDT prescaler will be cleared
- TO bit of the STATUS register will be set
- PD bit of the STATUS register will be cleared.
When global interrupts are disabled (GIE cleared) and
any interrupt source has both its interrupt enable bit
and interrupt flag bit set, one of the following will occur:
• If the interrupt occurs before the execution of a
SLEEP instruction
- SLEEP instruction will execute as a NOP.
- WDT and WDT prescaler will not be cleared
- TO bit of the STATUS register will not be set
- PD bit of the STATUS register will not be
cleared.
FIGURE 9-1:
Even if the flag bits were checked before executing a
SLEEP instruction, it may be possible for flag bits to
become set before the SLEEP instruction completes. To
determine whether a SLEEP instruction executed, test
the PD bit. If the PD bit is set, the SLEEP instruction
was executed as a NOP.

WATCHDOG TIMER (WDT)
The Watchdog Timer is a system timer that generates
a Reset if the firmware does not issue a CLRWDT
instruction within the time-out period. The Watchdog
Timer is typically used to recover the system from
unexpected events.
The WDT has the following features:
• Independent clock source
• Multiple operating modes
- WDT is always on
- WDT is off when in Sleep
- WDT is controlled by software
- WDT is always off
• Configurable time-out period is from 1 ms to 256
seconds (nominal)
• Multiple Reset conditions
• Operation during Sleep

Time-Out Period
The WDT derives its time base from the 31 kHz
LFINTOSC internal oscillator. Time intervals in this
chapter are based on a nominal interval of 1 ms. See
Section 30.0 “Electrical Specifications” for the
LFINTOSC tolerances.
The WDTPS bits of the WDTCON register set the
time-out period from 1 ms to 256 seconds (nominal).
After a Reset, the default time-out period is 2 seconds.
10.2
The WDT is cleared when any of the following conditions occur:
WDT Operating Modes
The Watchdog Timer module has four operating modes
controlled by the WDTE<1:0> bits in Configuration
Words. See Table 10-1.
10.2.1
WDT IS ALWAYS ON
When the WDTE bits of Configuration Words are set to
‘11’, the WDT is always on.
WDT protection is active during Sleep.
10.2.2
WDT protection is not active during Sleep.
WDT CONTROLLED BY SOFTWARE
When the WDTE bits of Configuration Words are set to
‘01’, the WDT is controlled by the SWDTEN bit of the
WDTCON register.
WDT protection is unchanged

10.5
Operation During Sleep
When the device enters Sleep, the WDT is cleared. If
the WDT is enabled during Sleep, the WDT resumes
counting.
When the device exits Sleep, the WDT is cleared
again. The WDT remains clear until the OST, if
enabled, completes. See Section 5.0 “Oscillator
Module (With Fail-Safe Clock Monitor)” for more
information on the OST.
When a WDT time-out occurs while the device is in
Sleep, no Reset is generated. Instead, the device wakes
up and resumes operation. The TO and PD bits in the
STATUS register are changed to indicate the event. See
Section 3.0 “Memory Organization” and STATUS

DATA EEPROM AND FLASH
PROGRAM MEMORY
CONTROL
The data EEPROM and Flash program memory are
readable and writable during normal operation (full VDD
range). These memories are not directly mapped in the
register file space. Instead, they are indirectly
addressed through the Special Function Registers
(SFRs). There are six SFRs used to access these
memories:
•
•
•
•
•
•
EECON1
EECON2
EEDATL
EEDATH
EEADRL
EEADRH
When interfacing the data memory block, EEDATL
holds the 8-bit data for read/write, and EEADRL holds
the address of the EEDATL location being accessed.
These devices have 256 bytes of data EEPROM with
an address range from 0h to 0FFh.
When accessing the program memory block, the EEDATH:EEDATL register pair forms a 2-byte word that
holds the 14-bit data for read/write, and the EEADRL
and EEADRH registers form a 2-byte word that holds
the 15-bit address of the program memory location
being read.
The EEPROM data memory allows byte read and write.
An EEPROM byte write automatically erases the location and writes the new data (erase before write).
The write time is controlled by an on-chip timer. The
write/erase voltages are generated by an on-chip
charge pump rated to operate over the voltage range of
the device for byte or word operations.
Depending on the setting of the Flash Program
Memory Self Write Enable bits WRT<1:0> of the
Configuration Words, the device may or may not be
able to write certain blocks of the program memory.
However, reads from the program memory are always
allowed.
11.1
EEADRL and EEADRH Registers
The EEADRH:EEADRL register pair can address up to
a maximum of 256 bytes of data EEPROM or up to a
maximum of 32K words of program memory.
When selecting a program address value, the MSB of
the address is written to the EEADRH register and the
LSB is written to the EEADRL register. When selecting
a EEPROM address value, only the LSB of the address
is written to the EEADRL register.
11.1.1
EECON1 AND EECON2 REGISTERS
EECON1 is the control register for EE memory
accesses.
Control bit EEPGD determines if the access will be a
program or data memory access. When clear, any
subsequent operations will operate on the EEPROM
memory. When set, any subsequent operations will
operate on the program memory. On Reset, EEPROM is
selected by default.
Control bits RD and WR initiate read and write,
respectively. These bits cannot be cleared, only set, in
software. They are cleared in hardware at completion
of the read or write operation. The inability to clear the
WR bit in software prevents the accidental, premature
termination of a write operation.
The WREN bit, when set, will allow a write operation to
occur. On power-up, the WREN bit is clear. The
WRERR bit is set when a write operation is interrupted
by a Reset during normal operation. In these situations,
following Reset, the user can check the WRERR bit
and execute the appropriate error handling routine.
Interrupt flag bit EEIF of the PIR2 register is set when
write is complete. It must be cleared in the software.
Reading EECON2 will read all ‘0’s. The EECON2 register is used exclusively in the data EEPROM write
sequence. To enable writes, a specific pattern must be
written to EECON2.
When the device is code-protected, the device
programmer can no longer access data or program
memory. When code-protected, the CPU may continue
to read and write the data EEPROM memory and Flash
program memory.

11.2
Using the Data EEPROM
The data EEPROM is a high-endurance, byte addressable array that has been optimized for the storage of
frequently changing information (e.g., program variables or other data that are updated often). When variables in one section change frequently, while variables
in another section do not change, it is possible to
exceed the total number of write cycles to the
EEPROM without exceeding the total number of write
cycles to a single byte. Refer to Section 30.0 “Electrical Specifications”. If this is the case, then a refresh
of the array must be performed. For this reason, variables that change infrequently (such as constants, IDs,
calibration, etc.) should be stored in Flash program
memory.
11.2.1
READING THE DATA EEPROM
MEMORY
To read a data memory location, the user must write the
address to the EEADRL register, clear the EEPGD and
CFGS control bits of the EECON1 register, and then
set control bit RD. The data is available at the very next
cycle, in the EEDATL register; therefore, it can be read
in the next instruction. EEDATL will hold this value until
another read or until it is written to by the user (during
a write operation).

;W = EEDATL
Note:
Data EEPROM can be read regardless of
the setting of the CPD bit.
11.2.2
WRITING TO THE DATA EEPROM
MEMORY
To write an EEPROM data location, the user must first
write the address to the EEADRL register and the data
to the EEDATL register. Then the user must follow a
specific sequence to initiate the write for each byte.
The write will not initiate if the above sequence is not
followed exactly (write 55h to EECON2, write AAh to
EECON2, then set the WR bit) for each byte. Interrupts
should be disabled during this code segment.
Additionally, the WREN bit in EECON1 must be set to
enable write. This mechanism prevents accidental
writes to data EEPROM due to errant (unexpected)
code execution (i.e., lost programs). The user should
keep the WREN bit clear at all times, except when
updating EEPROM. The WREN bit is not cleared
by hardware.
After a write sequence has been initiated, clearing the
WREN bit will not affect this write cycle. The WR bit will
be inhibited from being set unless the WREN bit is set.
At the completion of the write cycle, the WR bit is
cleared in hardware and the EE Write Complete
Interrupt Flag bit (EEIF) is set. The user can either
enable this interrupt or poll this bit. EEIF must be
cleared by software.
11.2.3
PROTECTION AGAINST SPURIOUS
WRITE
There are conditions when the user may not want to
write to the data EEPROM memory. To protect against
spurious EEPROM writes, various mechanisms have
been built-in. On power-up, WREN is cleared. Also, the
Power-up Timer (64 ms duration) prevents EEPROM
write.
The write initiate sequence and the WREN bit together
help prevent an accidental write during:
• Brown-out
• Power Glitch
• Software Malfunction
11.2.4
DATA EEPROM OPERATION
DURING CODE-PROTECT
Data memory can be code-protected by programming
the CPD bit in the Configuration Words to ‘0’.
When the data memory is code-protected, only the
CPU is able to read and write data to the data
EEPROM. It is recommended to code-protect the program memory when code-protecting data memory.
This prevents anyone from replacing your program with
a program that will access the contents of the data
EEPROM.

Flash Program Memory Overview
It is important to understand the Flash program memory structure for erase and programming operations.
Flash Program memory is arranged in rows. A row consists of a fixed number of 14-bit program memory
words. A row is the minimum block size that can be
erased by user software.
Flash program memory may only be written or erased
if the destination address is in a segment of memory
that is not write-protected, as defined in bits WRT<1:0>
of Configuration Words.
After a row has been erased, the user can reprogram
all or a portion of this row. Data to be written into the
program memory row is written to 14-bit wide data write
latches. These write latches are not directly accessible
to the user, but may be loaded via sequential writes to
the EEDATH:EEDATL register pair.
Note:
If the user wants to modify only a portion
of a previously programmed row, then the
contents of the entire row must be read
and saved in RAM prior to the erase.
The number of data write latches may not be equivalent
to the number of row locations. During programming,
user software may need to fill the set of write latches
and initiate a programming operation multiple times in
order to fully reprogram an erased row. For example, a
device with a row size of 32 words and eight write
latches will need to load the write latches with data and
initiate a programming operation four times.
11.3.1
READING THE FLASH PROGRAM
MEMORY
To read a program memory location, the user must:
1.
Write the Least and Most Significant address
bits to the EEADRH:EEADRL register pair.
Clear the CFGS bit of the EECON1 register.
Set the EEPGD control bit of the EECON1
register.
Then, set control bit RD of the EECON1 register.
2.
3.
4.
Once the read control bit is set, the program memory
Flash controller will use the second instruction cycle to
read the data. This causes the second instruction
immediately following the “BSF EECON1,RD” instruction
to be ignored. The data is available in the very next cycle,
in the EEDATH:EEDATL register pair; therefore, it can
be read as two bytes in the following instructions.
EEDATH:EEDATL register pair will hold this value until
another read or until it is written to by the user.
Note 1: The two instructions following a program
memory read are required to be NOPs.
This prevents the user from executing a
two-cycle instruction on the next
instruction after the RD bit is set.
2: Flash program memory can be read
regardless of the setting of the CP bit.
The size of a program memory row and the number of
program memory write latches may vary by device.
See Table 11-1 for details.

11.3.2
ERASING FLASH PROGRAM
MEMORY
While executing code, program memory can only be
erased by rows. To erase a row:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
Load the EEADRH:EEADRL register pair with
the address of new row to be erased.
Clear the CFGS bit of the EECON1 register.
Set the EEPGD, FREE, and WREN bits of the
EECON1 register.
Write 55h, then AAh, to EECON2 (Flash
programming unlock sequence).
Set control bit WR of the EECON1 register to
begin the erase operation.
Poll the FREE bit in the EECON1 register to
determine when the row erase has completed.
See Example 11-4.
After the “BSF EECON1,WR” instruction, the processor
requires two cycles to set up the erase operation. The
user must place two NOP instructions after the WR bit is
set. The processor will halt internal operations for the
typical 2 ms erase time. This is not Sleep mode as the
clocks and peripherals will continue to run. After the
erase cycle, the processor will resume operation with
the third instruction after the EECON1 write instruction.
11.3.3
WRITING TO FLASH PROGRAM
MEMORY
Program memory is programmed using the following
steps:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Load the starting address of the word(s) to be
programmed.
Load the write latches with data.
Initiate a programming operation.
Repeat steps 1 through 3 until all data is written.
Before writing to program memory, the word(s) to be
written must be erased or previously unwritten. Program memory can only be erased one row at a time. No
automatic erase occurs upon the initiation of the write.
Program memory can be written one or more words at
a time. The maximum number of words written at one
time is equal to the number of write latches. See
Figure 11-2 (block writes to program memory with 16
write latches) for more details. The write latches are
aligned to the address boundary defined by EEADRL
as shown in Table 11-1. Write operations do not cross
these boundaries. At the completion of a program
memory write operation, the write latches are reset to
contain 0x3FFF.
The following steps should be completed to load the
write latches and program a block of program memory.
These steps are divided into two parts. First, all write
latches are loaded with data except for the last program
memory location. Then, the last write latch is loaded
and the programming sequence is initiated. A special
unlock sequence is required to load a write latch with
data or initiate a Flash programming operation. This
unlock sequence should not be interrupted.
1.
Set the EEPGD and WREN bits of the EECON1
register.
2. Clear the CFGS bit of the EECON1 register.
3. Set the LWLO bit of the EECON1 register. When
the LWLO bit of the EECON1 register is ‘1’, the
write sequence will only load the write latches
and will not initiate the write to Flash program
memory.
4. Load the EEADRH:EEADRL register pair with
the address of the location to be written.
5. Load the EEDATH:EEDATL register pair with
the program memory data to be written.
6. Write 55h, then AAh, to EECON2, then set the
WR bit of the EECON1 register (Flash
programming unlock sequence). The write latch
is now loaded.
7. Increment the EEADRH:EEADRL register pair
to point to the next location.
8. Repeat steps 5 through 7 until all but the last
write latch has been loaded.
9. Clear the LWLO bit of the EECON1 register.
When the LWLO bit of the EECON1 register is
‘0’, the write sequence will initiate the write to
Flash program memory.
10. Load the EEDATH:EEDATL register pair with
the program memory data to be written.
11. Write 55h, then AAh, to EECON2, then set the
WR bit of the EECON1 register (Flash
programming unlock sequence). The entire
latch block is now written to Flash program
memory.
It is not necessary to load the entire write latch block
with user program data. However, the entire write latch
block will be written to program memory.
An example of the complete write sequence for eight
words is shown in Example 11-5. The initial address is
loaded into the EEADRH:EEADRL register pair; the
eight words of data are loaded using indirect
addressing.
Note:
DS41414D-page 116
The code sequence provided in
Example 11-5 must be repeated multiple
times to fully program an erased program
memory row.
 2010-2012 Microchip Technology Inc.
PIC16(L)F1946/47
After the “BSF EECON1,WR” instruction, the processor
requires two cycles to set up the write operation. The
user must place two NOP instructions after the WR bit is
set. The processor will halt internal operations for the
typical 2 ms, only during the cycle in which the write
takes place (i.e., the last word of the block write). This
is not Sleep mode as the clocks and peripherals will
FIGURE 11-2:
continue to run. The processor does not stall when
LWLO = 1, loading the write latches. After the write
cycle, the processor will resume operation with the third
instruction after the EECON1 write instruction.

Modifying Flash Program Memory
When modifying existing data in a program memory
row, and data within that row must be preserved, it must
first be read and saved in a RAM image. Program
memory is modified using the following steps:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
Load the starting address of the row to be
modified.
Read the existing data from the row into a RAM
image.
Modify the RAM image to contain the new data
to be written into program memory.
Load the starting address of the row to be
rewritten.
Erase the program memory row.
Load the write latches with data from the RAM
image.
Initiate a programming operation.
Repeat steps 6 and 7 as many times as required
to reprogram the erased row.

in the EECON1 register. This is the region that would
be pointed to by PC<15> = 1, but not all addresses are
accessible. Different access may exist for reads and
writes. Refer to Table 11-2.
When read access is initiated on an address outside the

OPERATION
Each port has three standard registers for its operation.
These registers are:
• TRISx registers (data direction)
• PORTx registers (reads the levels on the pins of
the device)
• LATx registers (output latch)
Some ports may have one or more of the following
additional registers. These registers are:
• ANSELx (analog select)
• WPUx (weak pull-up)

●
The Data Latch (LATx registers) is useful for
read-modify-write operations on the value that the I/O
pins are driving.
A write operation to the LATx register has the same
effect as a write to the corresponding PORTx register.
A read of the LATx register reads of the values held in
the I/O PORT latches, while a read of the PORTx
register reads the actual I/O pin value.

Ports that support analog inputs have an associated
ANSELx register. When an ANSEL bit is set, the digital
input buffer associated with that bit is disabled.
Disabling the input buffer prevents analog signal levels
on the pin between a logic high and low from causing
excessive current in the logic input circuitry. A
simplified model of a generic I/O port, without the
interfaces to other peripherals, is shown in Figure 12-1.

12.3
PORTA Registers
PORTA is an 8-bit wide, bidirectional port. The
corresponding data direction register is TRISA
(Register 12-3). Setting a TRISA bit (= 1) will make the
corresponding PORTA pin an input (i.e., disable the
output driver). Clearing a TRISA bit (= 0) will make the
corresponding PORTA pin an output (i.e., enables
output driver and puts the contents of the output latch
on the selected pin). Example 12-1 shows how to
initialize PORTA.
Reading the PORTA register (Register 12-2) reads the
status of the pins, whereas writing to it will write to the
PORT latch. All write operations are read-modify-write
operations. Therefore, a write to a port implies that the
port pins are read, this value is modified and then
written to the PORT data latch (LATA).
The TRISA register (Register 12-3) controls the
PORTA pin output drivers, even when they are being
used as analog inputs. The user should ensure the bits
in the TRISA register are maintained set when using
them as analog inputs. I/O pins configured as analog
input always read ‘0’.
12.3.1
ANSELA REGISTER
The ANSELA register (Register 12-5) is used to
configure the Input mode of an I/O pin to analog.
Setting the appropriate ANSELA bit high will cause all
digital reads on the pin to be read as ‘0’ and allow
analog functions on the pin to operate correctly.
The state of the ANSELA bits has no effect on digital
output functions. A pin with TRIS clear and ANSEL set
will still operate as a digital output, but the Input mode
will be analog. This can cause unexpected behavior
when executing read-modify-write instructions on the
affected port.
Note:
The ANSELA bits default to the Analog
mode after Reset. To use any pins as
digital general purpose or peripheral
inputs, the corresponding ANSEL bits
must be initialized to ‘0’ by user software.
DS41414D-page 130
12.3.2
PORTA FUNCTIONS AND OUTPUT
PRIORITIES
Each PORTA pin is multiplexed with other functions. The
pins, their combined functions and their output priorities
are shown in Table 12-2.
When multiple outputs are enabled, the actual pin
control goes to the peripheral with the highest priority.
Analog input functions, such as ADC, comparator and
CapSense inputs, are not shown in the priority lists.
These inputs are active when the I/O pin is set for
Analog mode using the ANSELx registers. Digital
output functions may control the pin when it is in Analog
mode with the priority list.

PORTB Registers
PORTB is an 8-bit wide, bidirectional port. The
corresponding data direction register is TRISB
(Register 12-7). Setting a TRISB bit (= 1) will make the
corresponding PORTB pin an input (i.e., put the
corresponding output driver in a High-Impedance mode).
Clearing a TRISB bit (= 0) will make the corresponding
PORTB pin an output (i.e., enable the output driver and
put the contents of the output latch on the selected pin).
Example 12-1 shows how to initialize an I/O port.
Reading the PORTB register (Register 12-6) reads the
status of the pins, whereas writing to it will write to the
PORT latch. All write operations are read-modify-write
operations. Therefore, a write to a port implies that the
port pins are read, this value is modified and then written
to the PORT data latch (LATB).
The TRISB register (Register 12-7) controls the PORTB
pin output drivers, even when they are being used as
analog inputs. The user should ensure the bits in the
TRISB register are maintained set when using them as
analog inputs. I/O pins configured as analog inputs
always read ‘0’.
12.5.1
WEAK PULL-UPS
Each of the PORTB pins has an individually configurable
internal weak pull-up. Control bits WPUB<7:0> enable or
disable each pull-up (see Register 12-9). Each weak
pull-up is automatically turned off when the port pin is
configured as an output. All pull-ups are disabled on a
Power-on Reset by the WPUEN bit of the OPTION_REG
register.
12.5.2
INTERRUPT-ON-CHANGE
All of the PORTB pins are individually configurable as
an interrupt-on-change pin. Control bits IOCB<7:0>
enable or disable the interrupt function for each pin.
The interrupt-on-change feature is disabled on a
Power-on
Reset.
Reference
Section 13.0
“Interrupt-On-Change” for more information.
12.5.3
Each PORTB pin is multiplexed with other functions. The
pins, their combined functions and their output priorities
are shown in Table 12-5.
When multiple outputs are enabled, the actual pin
control goes to the peripheral with the highest priority.
Analog input and some digital input functions are not
included in the list below. These input functions can
remain active when the pin is configured as an output.
Certain digital input functions, such as the EUSART RX
signal, override other port functions and are included in
the priority list.

PORTC Registers
PORTC is an 8-bit wide, bidirectional port. The
corresponding data direction register is TRISC
(Register 12-11). Setting a TRISC bit (= 1) will make the
corresponding PORTC pin an input (i.e., put the
corresponding output driver in a High-Impedance mode).
Clearing a TRISC bit (= 0) will make the corresponding
PORTC pin an output (i.e., enable the output driver and
put the contents of the output latch on the selected pin).
Example 12-1 shows how to initialize an I/O port.
Reading the PORTC register (Register 12-10) reads the
status of the pins, whereas writing to it will write to the
PORT latch. All write operations are read-modify-write
operations. Therefore, a write to a port implies that the
port pins are read, this value is modified and then written

The TRISC register (Register 12-11) controls the

PORTD is an 8-bit wide, bidirectional port. The
corresponding data direction register is TRISB
(Register 12-13). Setting a TRISD bit (= 1) will make the

12.11 PORTE Registers
PORTE is an 8-bit wide, bidirectional port. The
corresponding data direction register is TRISE. Setting a
TRISE bit (= 1) will make the corresponding PORTE pin
an input (i.e., put the corresponding output driver in a
High-Impedance mode). Clearing a TRISE bit (= 0) will
make the corresponding PORTE pin an output (i.e.,
enable the output driver and put the contents of the
output latch on the selected pin). Example 12-1 shows
how to initialize an I/O port.
Reading the PORTE register (Register 12-16) reads
the status of the pins, whereas writing to it will write to
the PORT latch. All write operations are
read-modify-write operations. Therefore, a write to a
port implies that the port pins are read, this value is
modified and then written to the PORT data latch
(LATE).
12.11.1
ANSELE REGISTER
The ANSELE register (Register 12-19) is used to
configure the Input mode of an I/O pin to analog.
Setting the appropriate ANSELE bit high will cause all
digital reads on the pin to be read as ‘0’ and allow
analog functions on the pin to operate correctly.
The state of the ANSELE bits has no effect on digital
output functions. A pin with TRIS clear and ANSEL set
will still operate as a digital output, but the Input mode
will be analog. This can cause unexpected behavior
when executing read-modify-write instructions on the
affected port.
The TRISE register (Register 12-17) controls the PORTE
pin output drivers, even when they are being used as
analog inputs. The user should ensure the bits in the
TRISE register are maintained set when using them as
analog inputs. I/O pins configured as analog inputs
always read ‘0’.
Note:
The ANSELE register must be initialized
to configure an analog channel as a digital
input. Pins configured as analog inputs
will read ‘0’.
12.11.2
Each PORTE pin is multiplexed with other functions. The
pins, their combined functions and their output priorities
are shown in Table 12-11.
When multiple outputs are enabled, the actual pin
control goes to the peripheral with the highest priority.
Each PORTE pin is multiplexed with other functions. The
pins, their combined functions and their output priorities
are briefly described here. For additional information,
refer to the appropriate section in this data sheet.
When multiple outputs are enabled, the actual pin
control goes to the peripheral with the lowest number in
the following lists.
Analog input and some digital input functions are not
included in the list below. These input functions can
remain active when the pin is configured as an output.
Certain digital input functions, such as the EUSART RX
signal, override other port functions and are included in
the priority list.

corresponding data direction register is TRISF
(Register 12-21). Setting a TRISF bit (= 1) will make the

Example 12-1 shows how to initialize an I/O port.
Reading the PORTF register (Register 12-13) reads the

12.15 PORTG Registers
PORTG is an 8-bit wide, bidirectional port. The
corresponding data direction register is TRISG
(Register 12-25). Setting a TRISG bit (= 1) will make the
corresponding PORTG pin an input (i.e., put the
corresponding output driver in a High-Impedance mode).
Clearing a TRISG bit (= 0) will make the corresponding
PORTG pin an output (i.e., enable the output driver and
put the contents of the output latch on the selected pin).
The exception is RG5, which is input only and its TRIS
bit will always read as ‘1’. Example 12-1 shows how to
initialize an I/O port.
Reading the PORTG register (Register 12-24) reads the
status of the pins, whereas writing to it will write to the
PORT latch. All write operations are read-modify-write
operations. Therefore, a write to a port implies that the
port pins are read, this value is modified and then written
to the PORT data latch (LATG). RG5 reads ‘0’ when
MCLRE = 1.
The TRISG register (Register 12-25) controls the
PORTG pin output drivers, even when they are being
used as analog inputs. The user should ensure the bits
in the TRISG register are maintained set when using
them as analog inputs. I/O pins configured as analog
inputs always read ‘0’.
12.15.1
ANSELG REGISTER
The ANSELG register (Register 12-27) is used to
configure the Input mode of an I/O pin to analog.
Setting the appropriate ANSELG bit high will cause all
digital reads on the pin to be read as ‘0’ and allow
analog functions on the pin to operate correctly.
The state of the ANSELG bits has no effect on digital
output functions. A pin with TRIS clear and ANSEL set
will still operate as a digital output, but the Input mode
will be analog. This can cause unexpected behavior
when executing read-modify-write instructions on the
affected port.
Note:
The ANSELG register must be initialized
to configure an analog channel as a digital
input. Pins configured as analog inputs
will read ‘0’.

INTERRUPT-ON-CHANGE
The PORTB pins can be configured to operate as
Interrupt-On-Change (IOC) pins. An interrupt can be
generated by detecting a signal that has either a rising
edge or a falling edge. Any individual PORTB pin, or
combination of PORTB pins, can be configured to
generate an interrupt. The interrupt-on-change module
has the following features:
•
•
•
•
Interrupt-on-change enable (Master Switch)
Individual pin configuration
Rising and falling edge detection
Individual pin interrupt flags
Figure 13-1 is a block diagram of the IOC module.
13.1
Enabling the Module
To allow individual PORTB pins to generate an interrupt,
the IOCIE bit of the INTCON register must be set. If the
IOCIE bit is disabled, the edge detection on the pin will
still occur, but an interrupt will not be generated.
13.2
Individual Pin Configuration
13.3
The IOCBFx bits located in the IOCBF register are
status flags that correspond to the Interrupt-on-change
pins of PORTB. If an expected edge is detected on an
appropriately enabled pin, then the status flag for that pin
will be set, and an interrupt will be generated if the IOCIE
bit is set. The IOCIF bit of the INTCON register reflects
the status of all IOCBFx bits.
13.4
Clearing Interrupt Flags
The individual status flags, (IOCBFx bits), can be
cleared by resetting them to zero. If another edge is
detected during this clearing operation, the associated
status flag will be set at the end of the sequence,
regardless of the value actually being written.
In order to ensure that no detected edge is lost while
clearing flags, only AND operations masking out known
changed bits should be performed. The following
sequence is an example of what should be performed.
EXAMPLE 13-1:
For each PORTB pin, a rising edge detector and a falling
edge detector are present. To enable a pin to detect a
rising edge, the associated IOCBPx bit of the IOCBP
register is set. To enable a pin to detect a falling edge,
the associated IOCBNx bit of the IOCBN register is set.
A pin can be configured to detect rising and falling
edges simultaneously by setting both the IOCBPx bit
and the IOCBNx bit of the IOCBP and IOCBN registers,
respectively.

Operation in Sleep
The interrupt-on-change interrupt sequence will wake
the device from Sleep mode, if the IOCIE bit is set.
If an edge is detected while in Sleep mode, the IOCBF
register will be updated prior to the first instruction
executed out of Sleep.

FIXED VOLTAGE REFERENCE
(FVR)
14.1
The output of the FVR supplied to the ADC,
Comparators, DAC and CPS module is routed through
two independent programmable gain amplifiers. Each
amplifier can be configured to amplify the reference
voltage by 1x, 2x or 4x, to produce the three possible
voltage levels.
The Fixed Voltage Reference, or FVR, is a stable
voltage reference, independent of VDD, with 1.024V,
2.048V or 4.096V selectable output levels. The output
of the FVR can be configured to supply a reference
voltage to the following:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Independent Gain Amplifiers
The ADFVR<1:0> bits of the FVRCON register are
used to enable and configure the gain amplifier settings
for the reference supplied to the ADC module. Reference Section 16.0 “Analog-to-Digital Converter
(ADC) Module” for additional information.
ADC input channel
ADC positive reference
Comparator positive input
Comparator negative input
Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC)
Capacitive Sensing (CPS) module
LCD bias generator
The CDAFVR<1:0> bits of the FVRCON register are
used to enable and configure the gain amplifier settings
for the reference supplied to the Comparators, DAC
and CPS module. Reference Section 17.0 “Digital-toAnalog Converter (DAC) Module”, Section 18.0
“Comparator Module” and Section 26.0 “Capacitive
Sensing (CPS) Module” for additional information.
The FVR can be enabled by setting the FVREN bit of
the FVRCON register.
14.2
FVR Stabilization Period
When the Fixed Voltage Reference module is enabled, it
requires time for the reference and amplifier circuits to
stabilize. Once the circuits stabilize and are ready for use,
the FVRRDY bit of the FVRCON register will be set. See
Section 30.0 “Electrical Specifications” for the
minimum delay requirement.

TEMPERATURE INDICATOR
MODULE
FIGURE 15-1:
This family of devices is equipped with a temperature
circuit designed to measure the operating temperature
of the silicon die. The circuit’s range of operating
temperature falls between -40°C and +85°C. The
output is a voltage that is proportional to the device
temperature. The output of the temperature indicator is
internally connected to the device ADC.
TEMPERATURE CIRCUIT
DIAGRAM
VDD
TSEN
TSRNG
The circuit may be used as a temperature threshold
detector or a more accurate temperature indicator,
depending on the level of calibration performed. A onepoint calibration allows the circuit to indicate a
temperature closely surrounding that point. A two-point
calibration allows the circuit to sense the entire range
of temperature more accurately. Reference Application
Note AN1333, “Use and Calibration of the Internal
Temperature Indicator” (DS01333) for more details
regarding the calibration process.
15.1
Circuit Operation
Figure 15-1 shows a simplified block diagram of the
temperature circuit. The proportional voltage output is
achieved by measuring the forward voltage drop across
multiple silicon junctions.
Equation 15-1 describes the output characteristics of
the temperature indicator.

Minimum Operating VDD
When the temperature circuit is operated in low range,
the device may be operated at any operating voltage
that is within specifications.
When the temperature circuit is operated in high range,
the device operating voltage, VDD, must be high
enough to ensure that the temperature circuit is
correctly biased.
Table 15-1 shows the recommended minimum VDD vs.
range setting.
High Range: VOUT = VDD - 4VT
TABLE 15-1:
Low Range: VOUT = VDD - 2VT
The temperature sense circuit is integrated with the
Fixed Voltage Reference (FVR) module. See
Section 14.0 “Fixed Voltage Reference (FVR)” for
more information.
The circuit is enabled by setting the TSEN bit of the
FVRCON register. When disabled, the circuit draws no
current.
The circuit operates in either high or low range. The high
range, selected by setting the TSRNG bit of the
FVRCON register, provides a wider output voltage. This
provides more resolution over the temperature range,
but may be less consistent from part to part. This range
requires a higher bias voltage to operate and thus, a
higher VDD is needed.
The low range is selected by clearing the TSRNG bit of
the FVRCON register. The low range generates a lower
voltage drop and thus, a lower bias voltage is needed to
operate the circuit. The low range is provided for low
voltage operation.

The output of the circuit is measured using the internal

“Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) Module” for
detailed information.
Note:
Every time the ADC MUX is changed to
the temperature indicator output selection
(CHS bit in the ADCCON0 register), wait
500 sec for the sampling capacitor to fully
charge before sampling the temperature
indicator output.

ADC Acquisition Time
To ensure accurate temperature measurements, the
user must wait at least 200 s after the ADC input
multiplexer is connected to the temperature indicator
output before the conversion is performed. In addition,
the user must wait 200 s between sequential
conversions of the temperature indicator output.

ANALOG-TO-DIGITAL
CONVERTER (ADC) MODULE
The Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) allows
conversion of an analog input signal to a 10-bit binary
representation of that signal. This device uses analog
inputs, which are multiplexed into a single sample and
hold circuit. The output of the sample and hold is
connected to the input of the converter. The converter
generates a 10-bit binary result via successive
approximation and stores the conversion result into the
ADC result registers (ADRESH:ADRESL register pair).
Figure 16-1 shows the block diagram of the ADC.
The ADC voltage reference is software selectable to be
either internally generated or externally supplied.
The ADC can generate an interrupt upon completion of
a conversion. This interrupt can be used to wake-up the
device from Sleep.

as a digital input may cause the input buffer to conduct excess current.
CHANNEL SELECTION
There are 20 selections available:
•
•
•
•
AN<16:0> pins
Temperature Indicator
DAC Output
FVR (Fixed Voltage Reference) Output

CONVERSION CLOCK
The source of the conversion clock is software selectable via the ADCS bits of the ADCON1 register. There
are seven possible clock options:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
FOSC/2
FOSC/4
FOSC/8
FOSC/16
FOSC/32
FOSC/64
FRC (dedicated internal oscillator)
The time to complete one bit conversion is defined as
TAD. One full 10-bit conversion requires 11.5 TAD periods as shown in Figure 16-2.
For correct conversion, the appropriate TAD specification must be met. Refer to the A/D conversion requirements in Section 30.0 “Electrical Specifications” for
more information. Table 16-1 gives examples of appropriate ADC clock selections.
Note:
Unless using the FRC, any changes in the
system clock frequency will change the
ADC clock frequency, which may
adversely affect the ADC result.
Refer to Section 15.0 “Temperature Indicator Module”, Section 17.0 “Digital-to-Analog Converter
(DAC) Module” and Section 14.0 “Fixed Voltage
Reference (FVR)” for more information on these channel selections.
The CHS bits of the ADCON0 register determine which
channel is connected to the sample and hold circuit.
When changing channels, a delay is required before
starting the next conversion. Refer to Section 16.2
“ADC Operation” for more information.
16.1.3
ADC VOLTAGE REFERENCE
The ADPREF bit of the ADCON1 register provides
control of the positive voltage reference. The positive
voltage reference can be:
• VREF+ pin
• VDD
The ADNREF bit of the ADCON1 register provides
control of the negative voltage reference. The negative
voltage reference can be:
• VREF- pin
• VSS
See Section 14.0 “Fixed Voltage Reference (FVR)”
for more details on the fixed voltage reference.

Shaded cells are outside of recommended range.
The FRC source has a typical TAD time of 1.6 s for VDD.
These values violate the minimum required TAD time.
For faster conversion times, the selection of another clock source is recommended.
The ADC clock period (TAD) and total ADC conversion time can be minimized when the ADC clock is derived from the
system clock FOSC. However, the FRC clock source must be used when conversions are to be performed with the
device in Sleep mode.

INTERRUPTS
16.1.6
The ADC module allows for the ability to generate an
interrupt upon completion of an Analog-to-Digital
conversion. The ADC Interrupt Flag is the ADIF bit in
the PIR1 register. The ADC Interrupt Enable is the
ADIE bit in the PIE1 register. The ADIF bit must be
cleared in software.
RESULT FORMATTING
The 10-bit A/D conversion result can be supplied in two
formats, left justified or right justified. The ADFM bit of
the ADCON1 register controls the output format.
Figure 16-3 shows the two output formats.
Note 1: The ADIF bit is set at the completion of
every conversion, regardless of whether
or not the ADC interrupt is enabled.
2: The ADC operates during Sleep only
when the FRC oscillator is selected.
This interrupt can be generated while the device is
operating or while in Sleep. If the device is in Sleep, the
interrupt will wake-up the device. Upon waking from
Sleep, the next instruction following the SLEEP instruction is always executed. If the user is attempting to
wake-up from Sleep and resume in-line code execution, the GIE and PEIE bits of the INTCON register
must be disabled. If the GIE and PEIE bits of the
INTCON register are enabled, execution will switch to
the Interrupt Service Routine.

16.2.1
ADC Operation
STARTING A CONVERSION
To enable the ADC module, the ADON bit of the
ADCON0 register must be set to a ‘1’. Setting the GO/
DONE bit of the ADCON0 register to a ‘1’ will start the
Analog-to-Digital conversion.
Note:
16.2.2
The GO/DONE bit should not be set in the
same instruction that turns on the ADC.
Refer to Section 16.3.2 “A/D Conversion Procedure”.
COMPLETION OF A CONVERSION
When the conversion is complete, the ADC module will:
• Clear the GO/DONE bit
• Set the ADIF Interrupt Flag bit
• Update the ADRESH and ADRESL registers with
new conversion result
16.2.3
TERMINATING A CONVERSION
If a conversion must be terminated before completion,
the GO/DONE bit can be cleared in software. The
ADRESH and ADRESL registers will be updated with
the partially complete Analog-to-Digital conversion
sample. Incomplete bits will match the last bit
converted.
Note:
A device Reset forces all registers to their
Reset state. Thus, the ADC module is
turned off and any pending conversion is
terminated.
DS41414D-page 166
16.3
ADC Operation During Sleep
The ADC module can operate during Sleep. This
requires the ADC clock source to be set to the FRC
option. When the FRC clock source is selected, the
ADC waits one additional instruction before starting the
conversion. This allows the SLEEP instruction to be
executed, which can reduce system noise during the
conversion. If the ADC interrupt is enabled, the device
will wake-up from Sleep when the conversion
completes. If the ADC interrupt is disabled, the ADC
module is turned off after the conversion completes,
although the ADON bit remains set.
When the ADC clock source is something other than
FRC, a SLEEP instruction causes the present conversion to be aborted and the ADC module is turned off,
although the ADON bit remains set.
16.3.1
SPECIAL EVENT TRIGGER
The Special Event Trigger of the CCPx/ECCPX module
allows periodic ADC measurements without software
intervention. When this trigger occurs, the GO/DONE
bit is set by hardware and the Timer1 counter resets to
zero.

Using the Special Event Trigger does not assure proper

the ADC timing requirements are met.

A/D Acquisition Requirements
For the ADC to meet its specified accuracy, the charge
holding capacitor (CHOLD) must be allowed to fully
charge to the input channel voltage level. The Analog
Input model is shown in Figure 16-4. The source
impedance (RS) and the internal sampling switch (RSS)
impedance directly affect the time required to charge
the capacitor CHOLD. The sampling switch (RSS)
impedance varies over the device voltage (VDD), refer
to Figure 16-4. The maximum recommended
impedance for analog sources is 10 k. As the
EQUATION 16-1:
Assumptions:
source impedance is decreased, the acquisition time
may be decreased. After the analog input channel is
selected (or changed), an A/D acquisition must be
done before the conversion can be started. To calculate
the minimum acquisition time, Equation 16-1 may be
used. This equation assumes that 1/2 LSb error is used
(1,024 steps for the ADC). The 1/2 LSb error is the
maximum error allowed for the ADC to meet its
specified resolution.
ACQUISITION TIME EXAMPLE
Temperature = 50°C and external impedance of 10k  5.0V V DD
T ACQ = Amplifier Settling Time + Hold Capacitor Charging Time + Temperature Coefficient
= T AMP + T C + T COFF
= 2µs + T C +   Temperature - 25°C   0.05µs/°C  

DIGITAL-TO-ANALOG
CONVERTER (DAC) MODULE
The Digital-to-Analog Converter supplies a variable
voltage reference, ratiometric with the input source,
with 32 selectable output levels.
The input of the DAC can be connected to:
17.1
Output Voltage Selection
The DAC has 32 voltage level ranges. The 32 levels
are set with the DACR<4:0> bits of the DACCON1
register.
The DAC output voltage is determined by the following
equations:
• External VREF pins
• VDD supply voltage
• FVR (Fixed Voltage Reference)
The output of the DAC can be configured to supply a
reference voltage to the following:
•
•
•
•
Comparator positive input
ADC input channel
DACOUT pin
Capacitive Sensing module (CPS)
The Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) can be enabled
by setting the DACEN bit of the DACCON0 register.

V OUT = V SOURCE –
VSOURCE+ = VDD, VREF, or FVR BUFFER 2

17.2
Ratiometric Output Level
The DAC output value is derived using a resistor ladder
with each end of the ladder tied to a positive and
negative voltage reference input source. If the voltage
of either input source fluctuates, a similar fluctuation will
result in the DAC output value.
The value of the individual resistors within the ladder
can be found in Section 30.0 “Electrical
Specifications”.
17.3
DAC Voltage Reference Output
The DAC can be output to the DACOUT pin by setting
the DACOE bit of the DACCON0 register to ‘1’.
Selecting the DAC reference voltage for output on the
DACOUT pin automatically overrides the digital output
buffer and digital input threshold detector functions of
that pin. Reading the DACOUT pin when it has been
configured for DAC reference voltage output will
always return a ‘0’.
Due to the limited current drive capability, a buffer must
be used on the DAC voltage reference output for
external connections to DACOUT. Figure 17-2 shows
an example buffering technique.

Low-Power Voltage State
In order for the DAC module to consume the least
amount of power, one of the two voltage reference input
sources to the resistor ladder must be disconnected.
Either the positive voltage source, (VSOURCE+), or the
negative voltage source, (VSOURCE-) can be disabled.
The negative voltage source is disabled by setting the
DACLPS bit in the DACCON0 register. Clearing the
DACLPS bit in the DACCON0 register disables the
positive voltage source.
17.4.1
OUTPUT CLAMPED TO POSITIVE
VOLTAGE SOURCE
The DAC output voltage can be set to VSOURCE+ with
the least amount of power consumption by performing
the following:
• Clearing the DACEN bit in the DACCON0 register.
• Setting the DACLPS bit in the DACCON0 register.
• Configuring the DACPSS bits to the proper
positive source.
• Configuring the DACR<4:0> bits to ‘11111’ in the
DACCON1 register.
FIGURE 17-3:
This is also the method used to output the voltage level
from the FVR to an output pin. See Section 17.5
“Operation During Sleep” for more information.
Reference Figure 17-3 for output clamping examples.
17.4.2
OUTPUT CLAMPED TO NEGATIVE
VOLTAGE SOURCE
The DAC output voltage can be set to VSOURCE- with
the least amount of power consumption by performing
the following:
• Clearing the DACEN bit in the DACCON0 register.
• Clearing the DACLPS bit in the DACCON0 register.
• Configuring the DACNSS bits to the proper
negative source.
• Configuring the DACR<4:0> bits to ‘00000’ in the
DACCON1 register.
This allows the comparator to detect a zero-crossing
while not consuming additional current through the DAC
module.
Reference Figure 17-3 for output clamping examples.

When the device wakes up from Sleep through an
interrupt or a Watchdog Timer time-out, the contents of
the DACCON0 register are not affected. To minimize
current consumption in Sleep mode, the voltage
reference should be disabled.

Effects of a Reset
A device Reset affects the following:
• DAC is disabled.
• DAC output voltage is removed from the
DACOUT pin.
• The DACR<4:0> range select bits are cleared.

Comparator Control
Each comparator has 2 control registers: CMxCON0 and
CMxCON1.
The CMxCON0 registers (see Register 18-1) contain
Control and Status bits for the following:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Enable
Output selection
Output polarity
Speed/Power selection
Hysteresis enable
Output synchronization
The CMxCON1 registers (see Register 18-2) contain
Control bits for the following:
•
•
•
•
Interrupt enable
Interrupt edge polarity
Positive input channel selection
Negative input channel selection
18.2.1
COMPARATOR ENABLE
Setting the CxON bit of the CMxCON0 register enables
the comparator for operation. Clearing the CxON bit
disables the comparator resulting in minimum current
consumption.

COMPARATOR OUTPUT

18.2.3
COMPARATOR OUTPUT POLARITY
Inverting the output of the comparator is functionally
equivalent to swapping the comparator inputs. The
polarity of the comparator output can be inverted by
setting the CxPOL bit of the CMxCON0 register.
Clearing the CxPOL bit results in a non-inverted output.
Table 18-2 shows the output state versus input
conditions, including polarity control.

COMPARATOR SPEED/POWER
SELECTION
The trade-off between speed or power can be optimized during program execution with the CxSP control
bit. The default state for this bit is ‘1’ which selects the
normal speed mode. Device power consumption can
be optimized at the cost of slower comparator propagation delay by clearing the CxSP bit to ‘0’.
The output of the comparator can be monitored by
reading either the CxOUT bit of the CMxCON0 register
or the MCxOUT bit of the CMOUT register. In order to
make the output available for an external connection,
the following conditions must be true:
• CxOE bit of the CMxCON0 register must be set
• Corresponding TRIS bit must be cleared
• CxON bit of the CMxCON0 register must be set
Note 1: The CxOE bit of the CMxCON0 register
overrides the PORT data latch. Setting
the CxON bit of the CMxCON0 register
has no impact on the port override.
2: The internal output of the comparator is
latched with each instruction cycle.
Unless otherwise specified, external
outputs are not latched.

PIC16(L)F1946/47
18.3
Comparator Hysteresis
A selectable amount of separation voltage can be
added to the input pins of each comparator to provide a
hysteresis function to the overall operation. Hysteresis
is enabled by setting the CxHYS bit of the CMxCON0
register.
18.5
Comparator Interrupt
An interrupt can be generated upon a change in the
output value of the comparator for each comparator, a
rising edge detector and a Falling edge detector are
present.
See Section 30.0 “Electrical Specifications” for
more information.
When either edge detector is triggered and its associated enable bit is set (CxINTP and/or CxINTN bits of
the CMxCON1 register), the Corresponding Interrupt
Flag bit (CxIF bit of the PIR2 register) will be set.
18.4
To enable the interrupt, you must set the following bits:
Timer1 Gate Operation
The output resulting from a comparator operation can
be used as a source for gate control of Timer1. See
Section 21.6 “Timer1 Gate” for more information.
This feature is useful for timing the duration or interval
of an analog event.
It is recommended that the comparator output be synchronized to Timer1. This ensures that Timer1 does not
increment while a change in the comparator is occurring.
18.4.1
COMPARATOR OUTPUT
SYNCHRONIZATION
The output from a comparator can be synchronized
with Timer1 by setting the CxSYNC bit of the
CMxCON0 register.
Once enabled, the comparator output is latched on the
falling edge of the Timer1 source clock. If a prescaler is
used with Timer1, the comparator output is latched after
the prescaling function. To prevent a race condition, the
comparator output is latched on the falling edge of the
Timer1 clock source and Timer1 increments on the
rising edge of its clock source. See the Comparator
Block Diagram (Figure 18-2) and the Timer1 Block
Diagram (Figure 21-1) for more information.
• CxON, CxPOL and CxSP bits of the CMxCON0
register
• CxIE bit of the PIE2 register
• CxINTP bit of the CMxCON1 register (for a rising
edge detection)
• CxINTN bit of the CMxCON1 register (for a falling
edge detection)
• PEIE and GIE bits of the INTCON register
The associated interrupt flag bit, CxIF bit of the PIR2
register, must be cleared in software. If another edge is
detected while this flag is being cleared, the flag will still
be set at the end of the sequence.
Note:
18.6
Although a comparator is disabled, an
interrupt can be generated by changing
the output polarity with the CxPOL bit of
the CMxCON0 register, or by switching
the comparator on or off with the CxON bit
of the CMxCON0 register.
Comparator Positive Input
Selection
Configuring the CxPCH<1:0> bits of the CMxCON1

(DAC) Module” for more information on the DAC input
signal.
Any time the comparator is disabled (CxON = 0), all
comparator inputs are disabled.

18.7
Comparator Negative Input
Selection
The CxNCH<1:0> bits of the CMxCON0 register direct
one of four analog pins to the comparator inverting
input.
Note:
18.8
To use CxIN+ and CxINx- pins as analog
input, the appropriate bits must be set in
the ANSEL register and the corresponding TRIS bits must also be set to disable
the output drivers.
Comparator Response Time
The comparator output is indeterminate for a period of
time after the change of an input source or the selection
of a new reference voltage. This period is referred to as
the response time. The response time of the comparator
differs from the settling time of the voltage reference.
Therefore, both of these times must be considered when
determining the total response time to a comparator
input change. See the Comparator and Voltage Reference Specifications in Section 30.0 “Electrical Specifications” for more details.
18.9
Interaction with ECCP Logic
18.10 Analog Input Connection
Considerations
A simplified circuit for an analog input is shown in
Figure 18-3. Since the analog input pins share their
connection with a digital input, they have reverse
biased ESD protection diodes to VDD and VSS. The
analog input, therefore, must be between VSS and VDD.
If the input voltage deviates from this range by more
than 0.6V in either direction, one of the diodes is forward biased and a latch-up may occur.
A maximum source impedance of 10 k is recommended
for the analog sources. Also, any external component
connected to an analog input pin, such as a capacitor or
a Zener diode, should have very little leakage current to
minimize inaccuracies introduced.
Note 1: When reading a PORT register, all pins
configured as analog inputs will read as a
‘0’. Pins configured as digital inputs will
convert as an analog input, according to
the input specification.
2: Analog levels on any pin defined as a
digital input, may cause the input buffer to
consume more current than is specified.
The comparators can be used as general purpose
comparators. Their outputs can be brought out to the
CxOUT pins. When the ECCP Auto-Shutdown is
active it can use one or both comparator signals. If
auto-restart is also enabled, the comparators can be
configured as a closed loop analog feedback to the
ECCP, thereby, creating an analog controlled PWM.
Note:
When the Comparator module is first
initialized the output state is unknown.
Upon initialization, the user should verify
the output state of the comparator prior to
relying on the result, primarily when using
the result in connection with other
peripheral features, such as the ECCP
Auto-Shutdown mode.

SR LATCH
The module consists of a single SR Latch with multiple
Set and Reset inputs as well as separate latch outputs.
The SR Latch module includes the following features:
•
•
•
•
Programmable input selection
SR Latch output is available externally
Separate Q and Q outputs
Firmware Set and Reset
The SR Latch can be used in a variety of analog applications, including oscillator circuits, one-shot circuit,
hysteretic controllers, and analog timing applications.
19.1
Latch Operation
19.2
Latch Output
The SRQEN and SRNQEN bits of the SRCON0 register control the Q and Q latch outputs. Both of the SR
Latch outputs may be directly output to an I/O pin at the
same time.
The applicable TRIS bit of the corresponding port must
be cleared to enable the port pin output driver.
19.3
Effects of a Reset
Upon any device Reset, the SR Latch output is not initialized to a known state. The user’s firmware is
responsible for initializing the latch output before
enabling the output pins.
The latch is a Set-Reset Latch that does not depend on
a clock source. Each of the Set and Reset inputs are
active-high. The latch can be set or reset by:
•
•
•
•
•
Software control (SRPS and SRPR bits)
Comparator C1 output (sync_C1OUT)
Comparator C2 output (sync_C2OUT)
SRI pin
Programmable clock (SRCLK)
The SRPS and the SRPR bits of the SRCON0 register
may be used to set or reset the SR Latch, respectively.
The latch is Reset-dominant. Therefore, if both Set and
Reset inputs are high, the latch will go to the Reset
state. Both the SRPS and SRPR bits are self resetting
which means that a single write to either of the bits is all
that is necessary to complete a latch Set or Reset operation.
The output from Comparator C1 or C2 can be used as
the Set or Reset inputs of the SR Latch. The output of
either comparator can be synchronized to the Timer1
clock source. See Section 18.0 “Comparator Module” and Section 21.0 “Timer1 Module with Gate
Control” for more information.
An external source on the SRI pin can be used as the
Set or Reset inputs of the SR Latch.
An internal clock source is available that can periodically
set or reset the SR Latch. The SRCLK<2:0> bits in the
SRCON0 register are used to select the clock source
period. The SRSCKE and SRRCKE bits of the SRCON1
register enable the clock source to set or reset the SR
Latch, respectively.

TIMER0 MODULE
When TMR0 is written, the increment is inhibited for
two instruction cycles immediately following the write.
The Timer0 module is an 8-bit timer/counter with the
following features:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Note:
8-bit timer/counter register (TMR0)
8-bit prescaler (independent of Watchdog Timer)
Programmable internal or external clock source
Programmable external clock edge selection
Interrupt on overflow
TMR0 can be used to gate Timer1
20.1.2
8-Bit Counter mode using the T0CKI pin is selected by
setting the TMR0CS bit in the OPTION_REG register to
‘1’ and resetting the T0XCS bit in the CPSCON0 register
to ‘0’.
Timer0 Operation
The Timer0 module can be used as either an 8-bit timer
or an 8-bit counter.
20.1.1
8-Bit Counter mode using the Capacitive Sensing
Oscillator (CPSCLK) signal is selected by setting the
TMR0CS bit in the OPTION_REG register to ‘1’ and
setting the T0XCS bit in the CPSCON0 register to ‘1’.
8-BIT TIMER MODE
The Timer0 module will increment every instruction
cycle, if used without a prescaler. 8-bit Timer mode is
selected by clearing the TMR0CS bit of the
OPTION_REG register.
FIGURE 20-1:
8-BIT COUNTER MODE
In 8-Bit Counter mode, the Timer0 module will increment
on every rising or falling edge of the T0CKI pin or the
Capacitive Sensing Oscillator (CPSCLK) signal.
Figure 20-1 is a block diagram of the Timer0 module.
20.1
The value written to the TMR0 register
can be adjusted, in order to account for
the two instruction cycle delay when
TMR0 is written.
The rising or falling transition of the incrementing edge
for either input source is determined by the TMR0SE bit
in the OPTION_REG register.

SOFTWARE PROGRAMMABLE
PRESCALER
A software programmable prescaler is available for
exclusive use with Timer0. The prescaler is enabled by
clearing the PSA bit of the OPTION_REG register.
Note:
The Watchdog Timer (WDT) uses its own
independent prescaler.
There are 8 prescaler options for the Timer0 module
ranging from 1:2 to 1:256. The prescale values are
selectable via the PS<2:0> bits of the OPTION_REG
register. In order to have a 1:1 prescaler value for the
Timer0 module, the prescaler must be disabled by setting the PSA bit of the OPTION_REG register.
The prescaler is not readable or writable. All instructions
writing to the TMR0 register will clear the prescaler.
20.1.4
TIMER0 INTERRUPT
Timer0 will generate an interrupt when the TMR0
register overflows from FFh to 00h. The TMR0IF
interrupt flag bit of the INTCON register is set every
time the TMR0 register overflows, regardless of
whether or not the Timer0 interrupt is enabled. The
TMR0IF bit can only be cleared in software. The Timer0
interrupt enable is the TMR0IE bit of the INTCON
register.
Note:
20.1.5
The Timer0 interrupt cannot wake the
processor from Sleep since the timer is
frozen during Sleep.
8-BIT COUNTER MODE
SYNCHRONIZATION
When in 8-Bit Counter mode, the incrementing edge on
the T0CKI pin must be synchronized to the instruction
clock. Synchronization can be accomplished by
sampling the prescaler output on the Q2 and Q4 cycles
of the instruction clock. The high and low periods of the
external clocking source must meet the timing
requirements as shown in Section 30.0 “Electrical
Specifications”.
20.1.6
OPERATION DURING SLEEP
Timer0 cannot operate while the processor is in Sleep
mode. The contents of the TMR0 register will remain
unchanged while the processor is in Sleep mode.

21.1
Timer1 Operation
21.2
The Timer1 module is a 16-bit incrementing counter
which is accessed through the TMR1H:TMR1L register
pair. Writes to TMR1H or TMR1L directly update the
counter.
The TMR1CS<1:0> and T1OSCEN bits of the T1CON
register are used to select the clock source for Timer1.
Table 21-2 displays the clock source selections.
21.2.1
When used with an internal clock source, the module is
a timer and increments on every instruction cycle.
When used with an external clock source, the module
can be used as either a timer or counter and increments on every selected edge of the external source.
INTERNAL CLOCK SOURCE
When the internal clock source is selected, the
TMR1H:TMR1L register pair will increment on multiples
of FOSC as determined by the Timer1 prescaler.
When the FOSC internal clock source is selected, the
Timer1 register value will increment by four counts every
instruction clock cycle. Due to this condition, a 2 LSB
error in resolution will occur when reading the Timer1
value. To utilize the full resolution of Timer1, an
asynchronous input signal must be used to gate the
Timer1 clock input.
Timer1 is enabled by configuring the TMR1ON and
TMR1GE bits in the T1CON and T1GCON registers,
respectively. Table 21-1 displays the Timer1 enable
selections.

Count Enabled
When the external clock source is selected, the Timer1
module may work as a timer or a counter.
EXTERNAL CLOCK SOURCE
When enabled to count, Timer1 is incremented on the
rising edge of the external clock input T1CKI or the
capacitive sensing oscillator signal. Either of these
external clock sources can be synchronized to the
microcontroller system clock or they can run
asynchronously.
When used as a timer with a clock oscillator, an
external 32.768 kHz crystal can be used in conjunction
with the dedicated internal oscillator circuit.
Note:
In Counter mode, a falling edge must be
registered by the counter prior to the first
incrementing rising edge after any one or
more of the following conditions:

21.3
Timer1 Prescaler
Timer1 has four prescaler options allowing 1, 2, 4 or 8
divisions of the clock input. The T1CKPS bits of the
T1CON register control the prescale counter. The
prescale counter is not directly readable or writable;
however, the prescaler counter is cleared upon a write to
TMR1H or TMR1L.
21.4
Timer1 Oscillator
21.5.1
READING AND WRITING TIMER1 IN
ASYNCHRONOUS COUNTER
MODE
Reading TMR1H or TMR1L while the timer is running
from an external asynchronous clock will ensure a valid
read (taken care of in hardware). However, the user
should keep in mind that reading the 16-bit timer in two
8-bit values itself, poses certain problems, since the
timer may overflow between the reads.
A dedicated low-power 32.768 kHz oscillator circuit is
built-in between pins T1OSI (input) and T1OSO
(amplifier output). This internal circuit is to be used in
conjunction with an external 32.768 kHz crystal.
For writes, it is recommended that the user simply stop
the timer and write the desired values. A write
contention may occur by writing to the timer registers,
while the register is incrementing. This may produce an
unpredictable value in the TMR1H:TMR1L register pair.
The oscillator circuit is enabled by setting the
T1OSCEN bit of the T1CON register. The oscillator will
continue to run during Sleep.
21.6
Note:
21.5
The oscillator requires a start-up and
stabilization time before use. Thus,
T1OSCEN should be set and a suitable
delay observed prior to using Timer1. A
suitable delay, similar to the OST delay
can be implemented in software by
clearing the TMR1IF bit, then presetting
the TMR1H:TMR1L register pair to
FC00h. The TMR1IF flag will be set when
1024 clock cycles have elapsed, thereby
indicating that the oscillator is running and
is reasonably stable.
Timer1 Operation in
Asynchronous Counter Mode
If control bit T1SYNC of the T1CON register is set, the
external clock input is not synchronized. The timer
increments asynchronously to the internal phase
clocks. If the external clock source is selected then the
timer will continue to run during Sleep and can
generate an interrupt on overflow, which will wake-up
the processor. However, special precautions in
software are needed to read/write the timer (see
Section 21.5.1 “Reading and Writing Timer1 in
Asynchronous Counter Mode”).
Note:
When switching from synchronous to
asynchronous operation, it is possible to
skip an increment. When switching from
asynchronous to synchronous operation,
it is possible to produce an additional
increment.

Timer1 Gate
Timer1 can be configured to count freely or the count
can be enabled and disabled using Timer1 gate
circuitry. This is also referred to as Timer1 Gate Enable.
Timer1 gate can also be driven by multiple selectable
sources.
21.6.1
TIMER1 GATE ENABLE
The Timer1 Gate Enable mode is enabled by setting
the TMR1GE bit of the T1GCON register. The polarity
of the Timer1 Gate Enable mode is configured using
the T1GPOL bit of the T1GCON register.
When Timer1 Gate Enable mode is enabled, Timer1
will increment on the rising edge of the Timer1 clock
source. When Timer1 Gate Enable mode is disabled,
no incrementing will occur and Timer1 will hold the
current count. See Figure 21-3 for timing details.

TIMER1 GATE SOURCE
SELECTION
Timer1 gate source selections are shown in Table 21-4.
Source selection is controlled by the T1GSS bits of the
T1GCON register. The polarity for each available source
is also selectable. Polarity selection is controlled by the
T1GPOL bit of the T1GCON register.

T1G Pin Gate Operation
The T1G pin is one source for Timer1 gate control. It
can be used to supply an external source to the Timer1
gate circuitry.
21.6.2.2
Timer0 Overflow Gate Operation
When Timer0 increments from FFh to 00h, a
low-to-high pulse will automatically be generated and
internally supplied to the Timer1 gate circuitry.
21.6.2.3
Comparator C1 Gate Operation
The output resulting from a Comparator 1 operation can
be selected as a source for Timer1 gate control. The
Comparator 1 output (sync_C1OUT) can be
synchronized to the Timer1 clock or left asynchronous.
For more information see Section 18.4.1 “Comparator
Output Synchronization”.
21.6.2.4
Comparator C2 Gate Operation
The output resulting from a Comparator 2 operation
can be selected as a source for Timer1 gate control.
The Comparator 2 output (sync_C2OUT) can be
synchronized to the Timer1 clock or left asynchronous.
For more information see Section 18.4.1 “Comparator
Output Synchronization”.
21.6.3
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, as opposed to the duration of a single level
pulse.
The Timer1 gate source is routed through a flip-flop that
changes state on every incrementing edge of the signal. See Figure 21-4 for timing details.
Timer1 Gate Toggle mode is enabled by setting the
T1GTM bit of the T1GCON register. When the T1GTM
bit is cleared, the flip-flop is cleared and held clear. This
is necessary in order to control which edge is
measured.
Note:
21.6.4
Enabling Toggle mode at the same time
as changing the gate polarity may result in
indeterminate operation.
TIMER1 GATE SINGLE-PULSE
MODE
When Timer1 Gate Single-Pulse mode is enabled, it is
possible to capture a single-pulse gate event. Timer1
Gate Single-Pulse mode is first enabled by setting the
T1GSPM bit in the T1GCON register. Next, the
T1GGO/DONE bit in the T1GCON register must be set.
The Timer1 will be fully enabled on the next incrementing
edge. On the next trailing edge of the pulse, the
T1GGO/DONE bit will automatically be cleared. No other
gate events will be allowed to increment Timer1 until the
T1GGO/DONE bit is once again set in software. See
Figure 21-5 for timing details.
If the Single-Pulse Gate mode is disabled by clearing the
T1GSPM bit in the T1GCON register, the T1GGO/DONE
bit should also be cleared.
Enabling the Toggle mode and the Single-Pulse mode
simultaneously will permit both sections to work
together. This allows the cycle times on the Timer1 gate
source to be measured. See Figure 21-6 for timing
details.
21.6.5
TIMER1 GATE VALUE STATUS
When Timer1 Gate Value Status is utilized, it is possible
to read the most current level of the gate control value.
The value is stored in the T1GVAL bit in the T1GCON
register. The T1GVAL bit is valid even when the Timer1
gate is not enabled (TMR1GE bit is cleared).
21.6.6
TIMER1 GATE EVENT INTERRUPT
When Timer1 Gate Event Interrupt is enabled, it is possible to generate an interrupt upon the completion of a
gate event. When the falling edge of T1GVAL occurs,
the TMR1GIF flag bit in the PIR1 register will be set. If
the TMR1GIE bit in the PIE1 register is set, then an
interrupt will be recognized.
The TMR1GIF flag bit operates even when the Timer1
gate is not enabled (TMR1GE bit is cleared).

21.7
Timer1 Interrupt
The Timer1 register pair (TMR1H:TMR1L) increments
to FFFFh and rolls over to 0000h. When Timer1 rolls
over, the Timer1 interrupt flag bit of the PIR1 register is
set. To enable the interrupt on rollover, you must set
these bits:
•
•
•
•
TMR1ON bit of the T1CON register
TMR1IE bit of the PIE1 register
PEIE bit of the INTCON register
GIE bit of the INTCON register
The interrupt is cleared by clearing the TMR1IF bit in
the Interrupt Service Routine.
The TMR1H:TMR1L register pair and the
TMR1IF bit should be cleared before
enabling interrupts.
Note:
21.8
Timer1 Operation During Sleep
Timer1 can only operate during Sleep when setup in
Asynchronous Counter mode. In this mode, an external
crystal or clock source can be used to increment the
counter. To set up the timer to wake the device:
•
•
•
•
•
TMR1ON bit of the T1CON register must be set
TMR1IE bit of the PIE1 register must be set
PEIE bit of the INTCON register must be set
T1SYNC bit of the T1CON register must be set
TMR1CS bits of the T1CON register must be
configured
• T1OSCEN bit of the T1CON register must be
configured
The device will wake-up on an overflow and execute
the next instructions. If the GIE bit of the INTCON
register is set, the device will call the Interrupt Service
Routine.
21.9
ECCP/CCP Capture/Compare Time
Base
The CCP modules use the TMR1H:TMR1L register
pair as the time base when operating in Capture or
Compare mode.
In Capture mode, the value in the TMR1H:TMR1L
register pair is copied into the CCPR1H:CCPR1L
register pair on a configured event.
In Compare mode, an event is triggered when the value
CCPR1H:CCPR1L register pair matches the value in
the TMR1H:TMR1L register pair. This event can be a
Special Event Trigger.
For
more
information,
see
“Capture/Compare/PWM Modules”.
Section 23.0
21.10 ECCP/CCP Special Event Trigger
When any of the CCP’s are configured to trigger a special event, the trigger will clear the TMR1H:TMR1L register pair. This special event does not cause a Timer1
interrupt. The CCP module may still be configured to
generate a CCP interrupt.
In this mode of operation, the CCPR1H:CCPR1L
register pair becomes the period register for Timer1.
Timer1 should be synchronized and FOSC/4 should be
selected as the clock source in order to utilize the Special Event Trigger. Asynchronous operation of Timer1
can cause a Special Event Trigger to be missed.
In the event that a write to TMR1H or TMR1L coincides
with a Special Event Trigger from the CCP, the write will
take precedence.
For more information, see Section 16.3.1 “Special
Event Trigger”.
Timer1 oscillator will continue to operate in Sleep
regardless of the T1SYNC bit setting.

TIMER2/4/6 MODULES
There are up to three identical Timer2-type modules
available. To maintain pre-existing naming conventions,
the Timers are called Timer2, Timer4 and Timer6 (also
Timer2/4/6).
Note:
The ‘x’ variable used in this section is
used to designate Timer2, Timer4, or
Timer6. For example, TxCON references
T2CON, T4CON or T6CON. PRx references PR2, PR4 or PR6.
The Timer2/4/6 modules incorporate the following
features:
• 8-bit Timer and Period registers (TMRx and PRx,
respectively)
• Readable and writable (both registers)
• Software programmable prescaler (1:1, 1:4, 1:16
and 1:64)
• Software programmable postscaler (1:1 to 1:16)
• Interrupt on TMRx match with PRx, respectively
• Optional use as the shift clock for the MSSPx
modules (Timer2 only)
See Figure 22-1 for a block diagram of Timer2/4/6.

22.1
Timer2/4/6 Operation
The clock input to the Timer2/4/6 modules is the
system instruction clock (FOSC/4).
TMRx increments from 00h on each clock edge.
A 4-bit counter/prescaler on the clock input allows direct
input, divide-by-4 and divide-by-16 prescale options.
These options are selected by the prescaler control bits,
TxCKPS<1:0> of the TxCON register. The value of
TMRx is compared to that of the Period register, PRx, on
each clock cycle. When the two values match, the
comparator generates a match signal as the timer
output. This signal also resets the value of TMRx to 00h
on the next cycle and drives the output
counter/postscaler (see Section 22.2 “Timer2/4/6
Interrupt”).
22.3
Timer2/4/6 Output
The unscaled output of TMRx is available primarily to
the CCP modules, where it is used as a time base for
operations in PWM mode.
Timer2 can be optionally used as the shift clock source
for the MSSPx modules operating in SPI mode.
Additional information is provided in Section 24.0
“Master Synchronous Serial Port (MSSP1 and
MSSP2) Module”.
22.4
Timer2/4/6 Operation During Sleep
The Timer2/4/6 timers cannot be operated while the
processor is in Sleep mode. The contents of the TMRx
and PRx registers will remain unchanged while the
processor is in Sleep mode.
The TMRx and PRx registers are both directly readable
and writable. The TMRx register is cleared on any
device Reset, whereas the PRx register initializes to
FFh. Both the prescaler and postscaler counters are
cleared on the following events:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•

Stack Underflow Reset
RESET Instruction
Note:
22.2
TMRx is not cleared when TxCON is
written.
Timer2/4/6 Interrupt
Timer2/4/6 can also generate an optional device
interrupt. The Timer2/4/6 output signal (TMRx-to-PRx
match)
provides
the
input
for
the
4-bit
counter/postscaler. This counter generates the TMRx
match interrupt flag which is latched in TMRxIF of the
PIRx register. The interrupt is enabled by setting the
TMRx Match Interrupt Enable bit, TMRxIE of the PIEx
register.
A range of 16 postscale options (from 1:1 through 1:16
inclusive) can be selected with the postscaler control
bits, TxOUTPS<3:0>, of the TxCON register.

CAPTURE/COMPARE/PWM
MODULES
The Capture/Compare/PWM module is a peripheral
which allows the user to time and control different
events, and to generate Pulse-Width Modulation
(PWM) signals. In Capture mode, the peripheral allows
the timing of the duration of an event. The Compare
mode allows the user to trigger an external event when
a predetermined amount of time has expired. The
PWM mode can generate Pulse-Width Modulated
signals of varying frequency and duty cycle.
This family of devices contains three Enhanced
Capture/Compare/PWM modules (ECCP1, ECCP2,
and ECCP3) and two standard Capture/Compare/PWM
modules (CCP4 and CCP5).
The Capture and Compare functions are identical for all
five CCP modules (ECCP1, ECCP2, ECCP3, CCP4,
and CCP5). The only differences between CCP
modules are in the Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM)
function. The standard PWM function is identical in
modules, CCP4 and CCP5. In CCP modules ECCP1,
ECCP2, and ECCP3, the Enhanced PWM function has
slight variations from one another. Full-Bridge ECCP
modules have four available I/O pins while Half-Bridge
ECCP modules only have two available I/O pins. See
Table 23-1 for more information.
TABLE 23-1:
Note 1: In devices with more than one CCP
module, it is very important to pay close
attention to the register names used. A
number placed after the module acronym
is used to distinguish between separate
modules. For example, the CCP1CON
and CCP2CON control the same
operational aspects of two completely
different CCP modules.
2: Throughout
this
section,
generic
references to a CCP module in any of its
operating modes may be interpreted as
being equally applicable to ECCP1,
ECCP2, ECCP3, CCP4 and CCP5.
Register names, module signals, I/O pins,
and bit names may use the generic
designator 'x' to indicate the use of a
numeral to distinguish a particular module,
when required.

Capture Mode
23.1.2
The Capture mode function described in this section is
available and identical for CCP modules ECCP1,
ECCP2, ECCP3, CCP4 and CCP5.
Capture mode makes use of the 16-bit Timer1
resource. When an event occurs on the CCPx pin, the
16-bit CCPRxH:CCPRxL register pair captures and
stores the 16-bit value of the TMR1H:TMR1L register
pair, respectively. An event is defined as one of the
following and is configured by the CCPxM<3:0> bits of
the CCPxCON register:
•
•
•
•
Every falling edge
Every rising edge
Every 4th rising edge
Every 16th rising edge
When a capture is made, the Interrupt Request Flag bit
CCPxIF of the PIRx register is set. The interrupt flag
must be cleared in software. If another capture occurs
before the value in the CCPRxH, CCPRxL register pair
is read, the old captured value is overwritten by the new
captured value.
Figure 23-1 shows a simplified diagram of the Capture
operation.
23.1.1
CCP PIN CONFIGURATION
In Capture mode, the CCPx pin should be configured
as an input by setting the associated TRIS control bit.
Also, the CCPx pin function can be moved to
alternative pins using the APFCON register. Refer to
Section 12.1 “Alternate Pin Function” for more
details.
Note:
If the CCPx pin is configured as an output,
a write to the port can cause a capture
condition.

Timer1 must be running in Timer mode or Synchronized

for more information on configuring Timer1.

Note:
23.1.4
TMR1H
Clocking Timer1 from the system clock
(FOSC) should not be used in Capture
mode. In order for Capture mode to
recognize the trigger event on the CCPx
pin, Timer1 must be clocked from the
instruction clock (FOSC/4) or from an
external clock source.
CCP PRESCALER
There are four prescaler settings specified by the
CCPxM<3:0> bits of the CCPxCON register. Whenever
the CCP module is turned off, or the CCP module is not
in Capture mode, the prescaler counter is cleared. Any
Reset will clear the prescaler counter.
Switching from one capture prescaler to another does not
clear the prescaler and may generate a false interrupt. To
avoid this unexpected operation, turn the module off by
clearing the CCPxCON register before changing the
prescaler. Example 23-1 demonstrates the code to
perform this function.

When the Capture mode is changed, a false capture

following any change in Operating mode.

CAPTURE DURING SLEEP
23.1.6
Capture mode depends upon the Timer1 module for
proper operation. There are two options for driving the
Timer1 module in Capture mode. It can be driven by the
instruction clock (FOSC/4), or by an external clock source.
ALTERNATE PIN LOCATIONS
This module incorporates I/O pins that can be moved to
other locations with the use of the alternate pin function
register, APFCON. To determine which pins can be
moved and what their default locations are upon a
reset, see Section 12.1 “Alternate Pin Function” for
more information.
When Timer1 is clocked by FOSC/4, Timer1 will not
increment during Sleep. When the device wakes from
Sleep, Timer1 will continue from its previous state.
Capture mode will operate during Sleep when Timer1
is clocked by an external clock source.

Compare Mode
23.2.2
The Compare mode function described in this section
is available and identical for CCP modules ECCP1,
ECCP2, ECCP3, CCP4 and CCP5.
Compare mode makes use of the 16-bit Timer1
resource. The 16-bit value of the CCPRxH:CCPRxL
register pair is constantly compared against the 16-bit
value of the TMR1H:TMR1L register pair. When a
match occurs, one of the following events can occur:
•
•
•
•
•
In Compare mode, Timer1 must be running in either
Timer mode or Synchronized Counter mode. The
compare operation may not work in Asynchronous
Counter mode.
See Section 21.0 “Timer1 Module with Gate Control”
for more information on configuring Timer1.
Note:

TIMER1 MODE RESOURCE
23.2.3
Clocking Timer1 from the system clock
(FOSC) should not be used in Capture
mode. In order for Capture mode to
recognize the trigger event on the CCPx
pin, TImer1 must be clocked from the
instruction clock (FOSC/4) or from an
external clock source.
SOFTWARE INTERRUPT MODE
When Generate Software Interrupt mode is chosen
(CCPxM<3:0> = 1010), the CCPx module does not
assert control of the CCPx pin (see the CCPxCON
register).
23.2.4
SPECIAL EVENT TRIGGER
When Special Event Trigger mode is chosen
(CCPxM<3:0> = 1011), the CCPx module does the
following:
• Resets Timer1
• Starts an ADC conversion if ADC is enabled
The CCPx module does not assert control of the CCPx
pin in this mode.
The Special Event Trigger output of the CCP occurs
immediately upon a match between the TMR1H,
TMR1L register pair and the CCPRxH, CCPRxL register pair. The TMR1H, TMR1L register pair is not reset
until the next rising edge of the Timer1 clock. The Special Event Trigger output starts an A/D conversion (if
the A/D module is enabled). This allows the CCPRxH,
CCPRxL register pair to effectively provide a 16-bit programmable period register for Timer1.

2: Removing the match condition by
changing the contents of the CCPRxH
and CCPRxL register pair, between the
clock edge that generates the Special

generates the Timer1 Reset, will
preclude the Reset from occurring.

PWM Overview
Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) is a scheme that
provides power to a load by switching quickly between
fully on and fully off states. The PWM signal resembles
a square wave where the high portion of the signal is
considered the on state and the low portion of the signal
is considered the off state. The high portion, also known
as the pulse width, can vary in time and is defined in
steps. A larger number of steps applied, which
lengthens the pulse width, also supplies more power to
the load. Lowering the number of steps applied, which
shortens the pulse width, supplies less power. The
PWM period is defined as the duration of one complete
cycle or the total amount of on and off time combined.
PWM resolution defines the maximum number of steps
that can be present in a single PWM period. A higher
resolution allows for more precise control of the pulse
width time and in turn the power that is applied to the
load.

TMRx = PRx
TMRx = CCPRxH:CCPxCON<5:4>
The term duty cycle describes the proportion of the on
time to the off time and is expressed in percentages,
where 0% is fully off and 100% is fully on. A lower duty
cycle corresponds to less power applied and a higher
duty cycle corresponds to more power applied.

signal.

SETUP FOR PWM OPERATION
The following steps should be taken when configuring
the CCP module for standard PWM operation:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
Disable the CCPx pin output driver by setting the
associated TRIS bit.
Timer2/4/6 resource selection:
• Select the Timer2/4/6 resource to be used
for PWM generation by setting the
CxTSEL<1:0> bits in the CCPTMRSx
register.
Load the PRx register with the PWM period
value.
Configure the CCP module for the PWM mode
by loading the CCPxCON register with the
appropriate values.
Load the CCPRxL register and the DCxBx bits
of the CCPxCON register, with the PWM duty
cycle value.
Configure and start Timer2/4/6:
• Clear the TMRxIF interrupt flag bit of the
PIRx register. See Note below.
• Configure the TxCKPS bits of the TxCON
register with the Timer prescale value.
• Enable the Timer by setting the TMRxON
bit of the TxCON register.
Enable PWM output pin:
• Wait until the Timer overflows and the
TMRxIF bit of the PIRx register is set. See
Note below.
• Enable the CCPx pin output driver by clearing the associated TRIS bit.
Note:
23.3.3
In order to send a complete duty cycle and
period on the first PWM output, the above
steps must be included in the setup
sequence. If it is not critical to start with a
complete PWM signal on the first output,
then step 6 may be ignored.
TIMER2/4/6 TIMER RESOURCE
The PWM standard mode makes use of one of the 8-bit
Timer2/4/6 timer resources to specify the PWM period.
Configuring the CxTSEL<1:0> bits in the CCPTMRSx
register selects which Timer2/4/6 timer is used.
23.3.4
PWM PERIOD
The PWM period is specified by the PRx register of
Timer2/4/6. The PWM period can be calculated using
the formula of Equation 23-1.
EQUATION 23-1:
PWM PERIOD
When TMRx is equal to PRx, the following three events
occur on the next increment cycle:
• TMRx is cleared
• The CCPx pin is set. (Exception: If the PWM duty
cycle = 0%, the pin will not be set.)
• The PWM duty cycle is latched from CCPRxL into
CCPRxH.
Note:
23.3.5
The Timer postscaler (see Section 22.1
“Timer2/4/6 Operation”) is not used in the
determination of the PWM frequency.
PWM DUTY CYCLE
The PWM duty cycle is specified by writing a 10-bit
value to multiple registers: CCPRxL register and
DCxB<1:0> bits of the CCPxCON register. The
CCPRxL contains the eight MSbs and the DCxB<1:0>
bits of the CCPxCON register contain the two LSbs.
CCPRxL and DCxB<1:0> bits of the CCPxCON
register can be written to at any time. The duty cycle
value is not latched into CCPRxH until after the period
completes (i.e., a match between PRx and TMRx
registers occurs). While using the PWM, the CCPRxH
register is read-only.
Equation 23-2 is used to calculate the PWM pulse
width.
Equation 23-3 is used to calculate the PWM duty cycle
ratio.
EQUATION 23-2:
PULSE WIDTH
Pulse Width =  CCPRxL:CCPxCON<5:4>  
T OSC  (TMRx Prescale Value)
EQUATION 23-3:
DUTY CYCLE RATIO
 CCPRxL:CCPxCON<5:4> 
Duty Cycle Ratio = ----------------------------------------------------------------------4  PRx + 1 
The CCPRxH register and a 2-bit internal latch are
used to double buffer the PWM duty cycle. This double
buffering is essential for glitchless PWM operation.
The 8-bit timer TMRx register is concatenated with either
the 2-bit internal system clock (FOSC), or 2 bits of the
prescaler, to create the 10-bit time base. The system
clock is used if the Timer2/4/6 prescaler is set to 1:1.
When the 10-bit time base matches the CCPRxH and
2-bit latch, then the CCPx pin is cleared (see
Figure 23-4).

23.3.6
PWM RESOLUTION
EQUATION 23-4:
The resolution determines the number of available duty
cycles for a given period. For example, a 10-bit resolution
will result in 1024 discrete duty cycles, whereas an 8-bit
resolution will result in 256 discrete duty cycles.

OPERATION IN SLEEP MODE
23.3.10
In Sleep mode, the TMRx register will not increment
and the state of the module will not change. If the CCPx
pin is driving a value, it will continue to drive that value.
When the device wakes up, TMRx will continue from its
previous state.

FREQUENCY
ALTERNATE PIN LOCATIONS
This module incorporates I/O pins that can be moved to
other locations with the use of the alternate pin function
register, APFCON. To determine which pins can be
moved and what their default locations are upon a
reset, see Section 12.1 “Alternate Pin Function” for
more information.
The PWM frequency is derived from the system clock
frequency. Any changes in the system clock frequency
will result in changes to the PWM frequency. See
Section 5.0 “Oscillator Module (With Fail-Safe
Clock Monitor)” for additional details.

PWM (Enhanced Mode)
To select an Enhanced PWM Output mode, the PxM bits
of the CCPxCON register must be configured
appropriately.
The enhanced PWM function described in this section is
available for CCP modules ECCP1, ECCP2 and
ECCP3, with any differences between modules noted.
The PWM outputs are multiplexed with I/O pins and are
designated PxA, PxB, PxC and PxD. The polarity of the
PWM pins is configurable and is selected by setting the
CCPxM bits in the CCPxCON register appropriately.
The enhanced PWM mode generates a Pulse-Width
Modulation (PWM) signal on up to four different output
pins with up to 10 bits of resolution. The period, duty
cycle, and resolution are controlled by the following
registers:
•
•
•
•
Figure 23-5 shows an example of a simplified block
diagram of the Enhanced PWM module.
Table 23-9 shows the pin assignments for various
Enhanced PWM modes.
PRx registers
TxCON registers
CCPRxL registers
CCPxCON registers
Note 1: The corresponding TRIS bit must be
cleared to enable the PWM output on the
CCPx pin.
The ECCP modules have the following additional PWM
registers which control Auto-shutdown, Auto-restart,
Dead-band Delay and PWM Steering modes:
2: Clearing the CCPxCON register will
relinquish control of the CCPx pin.
3: Any pin not used in the enhanced PWM
mode is available for alternate pin
functions, if applicable.
• CCPxAS registers
• PSTRxCON registers
• PWMxCON registers
4: To prevent the generation of an
incomplete waveform when the PWM is
first enabled, the ECCP module waits
until the start of a new PWM period
before generating a PWM signal.
The enhanced PWM module can generate the following
five PWM Output modes:

23.4.1
HALF-BRIDGE MODE
In Half-Bridge mode, two pins are used as outputs to
drive push-pull loads. The PWM output signal is output
on the CCPx/PxA pin, while the complementary PWM
output signal is output on the PxB pin (see
Figure 23-9). This mode can be used for Half-Bridge
applications, as shown in Figure 23-9, or for Full-Bridge
applications, where four power switches are being
modulated with two PWM signals.
In Half-Bridge mode, the programmable dead-band delay
can be used to prevent shoot-through current in
Half-Bridge power devices. The value of the PDC<6:0>
bits of the PWMxCON register sets the number of
instruction cycles before the output is driven active. If the
value is greater than the duty cycle, the corresponding
output remains inactive during the entire cycle. See
Section 23.4.5 “Programmable Dead-Band Delay
Mode” for more details of the dead-band delay
operations.
Since the PxA and PxB outputs are multiplexed with the
PORT data latches, the associated TRIS bits must be
cleared to configure PxA and PxB as outputs.

FULL-BRIDGE MODE
In Full-Bridge mode, all four pins are used as outputs.
An example of Full-Bridge application is shown in
Figure 23-10.
In the Forward mode, pin CCPx/PxA is driven to its active
state, pin PxD is modulated, while PxB and PxC will be
driven to their inactive state as shown in Figure 23-11.
In the Reverse mode, PxC is driven to its active state, pin
PxB is modulated, while PxA and PxD will be driven to
their inactive state as shown Figure 23-11.
PxA, PxB, PxC and PxD outputs are multiplexed with
the PORT data latches. The associated TRIS bits must
be cleared to configure the PxA, PxB, PxC and PxD
pins as outputs.

23.4.2.1
Direction Change in Full-Bridge
Mode
In the Full-Bridge mode, the PxM1 bit in the CCPxCON
register allows users to control the forward/reverse
direction. When the application firmware changes this
direction control bit, the module will change to the new
direction on the next PWM cycle.
A direction change is initiated in software by changing
the PxM1 bit of the CCPxCON register. The following
sequence occurs four Timer cycles prior to the end of
the current PWM period:
• The modulated outputs (PxB and PxD) are placed
in their inactive state.
• The associated unmodulated outputs (PxA and
PxC) are switched to drive in the opposite
direction.
• PWM modulation resumes at the beginning of the
next period.
See Figure 23-12 for an illustration of this sequence.
The Full-Bridge mode does not provide dead-band
delay. As one output is modulated at a time, dead-band
delay is generally not required. There is a situation
where dead-band delay is required. This situation
occurs when both of the following conditions are true:
1.
2.
The direction of the PWM output changes when
the duty cycle of the output is at or near 100%.
The turn off time of the power switch, including
the power device and driver circuit, is greater
than the turn on time.
Figure 23-13 shows an example of the PWM direction
changing from forward to reverse, at a near 100% duty
cycle. In this example, at time t1, the output PxA and
PxD become inactive, while output PxC becomes
active. Since the turn off time of the power devices is
longer than the turn on time, a shoot-through current
will flow through power devices QC and QD (see
Figure 23-10) for the duration of ‘t’. The same
phenomenon will occur to power devices QA and QB
for PWM direction change from reverse to forward.
If changing PWM direction at high duty cycle is required
for an application, two possible solutions for eliminating
the shoot-through current are:
1.
2.
Reduce PWM duty cycle for one PWM period
before changing directions.
Use switch drivers that can drive the switches off
faster than they can drive them on.
Other options to prevent shoot-through current may
exist.

23.4.3
ENHANCED PWM
AUTO-SHUTDOWN MODE
The PWM mode supports an Auto-Shutdown mode that
will disable the PWM outputs when an external
shutdown event occurs. Auto-Shutdown mode places
the PWM output pins into a predetermined state. This
mode is used to help prevent the PWM from damaging
the application.
The auto-shutdown sources are selected using the
CCPxAS<2:0> bits of the CCPxAS register. A shutdown
event may be generated by:
• A logic ‘0’ on the INT pin
• A logic ‘0’ on a Comparator (async_CxOUT) output
A shutdown condition is indicated by the CCPxASE
(Auto-Shutdown Event Status) bit of the CCPxAS
register. If the bit is a ‘0’, the PWM pins are operating
normally. If the bit is a ‘1’, the PWM outputs are in the
shutdown state.
When a shutdown event occurs, two things happen:
The CCPxASE bit is set to ‘1’. The CCPxASE will
remain set until cleared in firmware or an auto-restart
occurs (see Section 23.4.4 “Auto-Restart Mode”).
The enabled PWM pins are asynchronously placed in
their shutdown states. The PWM output pins are
grouped into pairs [PxA/PxC] and [PxB/PxD]. The state
of each pin pair is determined by the PSSxAC and
PSSxBD bits of the CCPxAS register. Each pin pair may
be placed into one of three states:
Note 1: The auto-shutdown condition is a
level-based signal, not an edge-based
signal. As long as the level is present, the
auto-shutdown will persist.
2: Writing to the CCPxASE bit of the
CCPxAS register is disabled while an
auto-shutdown condition persists.
3: Once the auto-shutdown condition has
been removed and the PWM restarted
(either through firmware or auto-restart)
the PWM signal will always restart at the
beginning of the next PWM period.
4: Prior to an auto-shutdown event caused
by a comparator output or INT pin event,
a software shutdown can be triggered in
firmware by setting the CCPxASE bit of
the CCPxAS register to ‘1’. The
Auto-Restart feature tracks the active
status of a shutdown caused by a
comparator output or INT pin event only.
If it is enabled at this time, it will
immediately clear this bit and restart the
ECCP module at the beginning of the
next PWM period.

PROGRAMMABLE DEAD-BAND
DELAY MODE
FIGURE 23-16:
In Half-Bridge applications where all power switches
are modulated at the PWM frequency, the power
switches normally require more time to turn off than to
turn on. If both the upper and lower power switches are
switched at the same time (one turned on, and the
other turned off), both switches may be on for a short
period of time until one switch completely turns off.
During this brief interval, a very high current
(shoot-through current) will flow through both power
switches, shorting the bridge supply. To avoid this
potentially destructive shoot-through current from
flowing during switching, turning on either of the power
switches is normally delayed to allow the other switch
to completely turn off.

Note 1:
In Half-Bridge mode, a digitally programmable
dead-band delay is available to avoid shoot-through
current from destroying the bridge power switches. The
delay occurs at the signal transition from the non-active
state to the active state. See Figure 23-16 for
illustration. The lower seven bits of the associated
PWMxCON register (Register 23-5) sets the delay
period in terms of microcontroller instruction cycles
(TCY or 4 TOSC).

PWM STEERING MODE
In Single Output mode, PWM steering allows any of the
PWM pins to be the modulated signal. Additionally, the
same PWM signal can be simultaneously available on
multiple pins.
Once the Single Output mode is selected
(CCPxM<3:2> = 11 and PxM<1:0> = 00 of the
CCPxCON register), the user firmware can bring out
the same PWM signal to one, two, three or four output
pins by setting the appropriate STRx<D:A> bits of the
PSTRxCON register, as shown in Table 23-9.
The associated TRIS bits must be set to
output (‘0’) to enable the pin output driver
in order to see the PWM signal on the pin.
Note:
While the PWM Steering mode is active, CCPxM<1:0>
bits of the CCPxCON register select the PWM output
polarity for the Px<D:A> pins.
The PWM auto-shutdown operation also applies to
PWM Steering mode as described in Section 23.4.3
“Enhanced PWM Auto-shutdown mode”. An
auto-shutdown event will only affect pins that have
PWM outputs enabled.

the user two selections of when the steering event will
happen. When the STRxSYNC bit is ‘0’, the steering
event will happen at the end of the instruction that
writes to the PSTRxCON register. In this case, the
output signal at the Px<D:A> pins may be an
incomplete PWM waveform. This operation is useful
when the user firmware needs to immediately remove
a PWM signal from the pin.
When the STRxSYNC bit is ‘1’, the effective steering
update will happen at the beginning of the next PWM
period. In this case, steering on/off the PWM output will
always produce a complete PWM waveform.
Figures 23-19 and 23-20 illustrate the timing diagrams
of the PWM steering depending on the STRxSYNC
setting.
23.4.7
drivers are enabled. Changing the polarity
configuration while the PWM pin output drivers are
enable is not recommended since it may result in
damage to the application circuits.
The PxA, PxB, PxC and PxD output latches may not be
in the proper states when the PWM module is
initialized. Enabling the PWM pin output drivers at the
same time as the Enhanced PWM modes may cause
damage to the application circuit. The Enhanced PWM
modes must be enabled in the proper Output mode and
complete a full PWM cycle before enabling the PWM
pin output drivers. The completion of a full PWM cycle
is indicated by the TMRxIF bit of the PIRx register
being set as the second PWM period begins.
Note:
START-UP CONSIDERATIONS
When any PWM mode is used, the application
hardware must use the proper external pull-up and/or
pull-down resistors on the PWM output pins.
When the microcontroller is released from
Reset, all of the I/O pins are in the
high-impedance state. The external circuits must keep the power switch devices
in the Off state until the microcontroller
drives the I/O pins with the proper signal
levels or activates the PWM output(s).
The CCPxM<1:0> bits of the CCPxCON register allow
the user to choose whether the PWM output signals are
active-high or active-low for each pair of PWM output
pins (PxA/PxC and PxB/PxD). The PWM output
polarities must be selected before the PWM pin output

ALTERNATE PIN LOCATIONS
This module incorporates I/O pins that can be moved to
other locations with the use of the alternate pin function
register, APFCON. To determine which pins can be
moved and what their default locations are upon a
reset, see Section 12.1 “Alternate Pin Function” for
more information.

Master SSPx (MSSPx) Module
Overview
The Master Synchronous Serial Port (MSSPx) module
is a serial interface useful for communicating with other
peripheral or microcontroller devices. These peripheral
devices may be serial EEPROMs, shift registers, display drivers, A/D converters, etc. The MSSPx module
can operate in one of two modes:
• Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI)
• Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C™)
The SPI interface supports the following modes and
features:
•
•
•
•
•
Master mode
Slave mode
Clock Parity
Slave Select Synchronization (Slave mode only)
Daisy-chain connection of slave devices

attention to SSPxCONx register names.
SSP1CON1 and SSP1CON2 registers
control different operational aspects of
the same module, while SSP1CON1 and
SSP2CON1 control the same features for
two different modules.
2: Throughout this section, generic references to an MSSP module in any of its
operating modes may be interpreted as
being equally applicable to MSSP1 or
MSSP2. Register names, module I/O signals, and bit names may use the generic
designator ‘x’ to indicate the use of a
numeral to distinguish a particular module
when required.

24.2
SPI Mode Overview
The Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) bus is a
synchronous serial data communication bus that
operates in Full Duplex mode. Devices communicate in
a master/slave environment where the master device
initiates the communication. A slave device is
controlled through a chip select known as Slave Select.
The SPI bus specifies four signal connections:
•
•
•
•
Serial Clock (SCKx)
Serial Data Out (SDOx)
Serial Data In (SDIx)
Slave Select (SSx)
Figure 24-1 shows the block diagram of the MSSPx
module when operating in SPI Mode.
The SPI bus operates with a single master device and
one or more slave devices. When multiple slave
devices are used, an independent Slave Select connection is required from the master device to each
slave device.
Figure 24-4 shows a typical connection between a
master device and multiple slave devices.
The master selects only one slave at a time. Most slave
devices have tri-state outputs so their output signal
appears disconnected from the bus when they are not
selected.
Transmissions involve two shift registers, eight bits in
size, one in the master and one in the slave. With either
the master or the slave device, data is always shifted
out one bit at a time, with the Most Significant bit (MSb)
shifted out first. At the same time, a new Least
Significant bit (LSb) is shifted into the same register.
its SDOx pin) and the slave device is reading this bit
and saving it as the LSb of its shift register, that the
slave device is also sending out the MSb from its shift
register (on its SDOx pin) and the master device is
reading this bit and saving it as the LSb of its shift
register.
After 8 bits have been shifted out, the master and slave
have exchanged register values.
If there is more data to exchange, the shift registers are
loaded with new data and the process repeats itself.
Whether the data is meaningful or not (dummy data),
depends on the application software. This leads to
three scenarios for data transmission:
• Master sends useful data and slave sends dummy
data.
• Master sends useful data and slave sends useful
data.
• Master sends dummy data and slave sends useful
data.
Transmissions may involve any number of clock
cycles. When there is no more data to be transmitted,
the master stops sending the clock signal and it
deselects the slave.
Every slave device connected to the bus that has not
been selected through its slave select line must disregard the clock and transmission signals and must not
transmit out any data of its own.
Figure 24-5 shows a typical connection between two
processors configured as master and slave devices.
Data is shifted out of both shift registers on the programmed clock edge and latched on the opposite edge
of the clock.
The master device transmits information out on its
SDOx output pin which is connected to, and received
by, the slave’s SDIx input pin. The slave device transmits information out on its SDOx output pin, which is
connected to, and received by, the master’s SDIx input
pin.
To begin communication, the master device first sends
out the clock signal. Both the master and the slave
devices should be configured for the same clock polarity.
The master device starts a transmission by sending out
the MSb from its shift register. The slave device reads
this bit from that same line and saves it into the LSb
position of its shift register.
During each SPI clock cycle, a full duplex data
transmission occurs. This means that while the master
device is sending out the MSb from its shift register (on

24.2.1 SPI MODE REGISTERS
The MSSPx module has five registers for SPI mode
operation. These are:
•
•
•
•
•
•
MSSPx STATUS register (SSPxSTAT)
MSSPx Control Register 1 (SSPxCON1)
MSSPx Control Register 3 (SSPxCON3)
MSSPx Data Buffer register (SSPxBUF)
MSSPx Address register (SSPxADD)
MSSPx Shift register (SSPxSR)
(Not directly accessible)
SSPxCON1 and SSPxSTAT are the control and
STATUS registers in SPI mode operation. The
SSPxCON1 register is readable and writable. The
lower 6 bits of the SSPxSTAT are read-only. The upper
two bits of the SSPxSTAT are read/write.
In SPI master mode, SSPxADD can be loaded with a
value used in the Baud Rate Generator. More information on the Baud Rate Generator is available in
Section 24.7 “Baud Rate Generator”.
SSPxSR is the shift register used for shifting data in
and out. SSPxBUF provides indirect access to the
SSPxSR register. SSPxBUF is the buffer register to
which data bytes are written, and from which data
bytes are read.
In receive operations, SSPxSR and SSPxBUF
together create a buffered receiver. When SSPxSR
receives a complete byte, it is transferred to SSPxBUF
and the SSPxIF interrupt is set.
During transmission, the SSPxBUF is not buffered. A
write to SSPxBUF will write to both SSPxBUF and
SSPxSR.

24.2.2 SPI MODE OPERATION
When initializing the SPI, several options need to be
specified. This is done by programming the appropriate
control bits (SSPxCON1<5:0> and SSPxSTAT<7:6>).
These control bits allow the following to be specified:
•
•
•
•
Master mode (SCKx is the clock output)
Slave mode (SCKx is the clock input)
Clock Polarity (Idle state of SCKx)
Data Input Sample Phase (middle or end of data
output time)
• Clock Edge (output data on rising/falling edge of
SCKx)
• Clock Rate (Master mode only)
• Slave Select mode (Slave mode only)
To enable the serial port, SSPx Enable bit, SSPEN of
the SSPxCON1 register, must be set. To reset or reconfigure SPI mode, clear the SSPEN bit, re-initialize the
SSPxCONx registers and then set the SSPEN bit. This
configures the SDIx, SDOx, SCKx and SSx pins as
serial port pins. For the pins to behave as the serial port
function, some must have their data direction bits (in
the TRIS register) appropriately programmed as
follows:
• SDIx must have corresponding TRIS bit set
• SDOx must have corresponding TRIS bit cleared
• SCKx (Master mode) must have corresponding
TRIS bit cleared
• SCKx (Slave mode) must have corresponding
TRIS bit set
• SSx must have corresponding TRIS bit set
FIGURE 24-5:
Any serial port function that is not desired may be
overridden by programming the corresponding data
direction (TRIS) register to the opposite value.
The MSSPx consists of a transmit/receive shift register
(SSPxSR) and a buffer register (SSPxBUF). The
SSPxSR shifts the data in and out of the device, MSb
first. The SSPxBUF holds the data that was written to
the SSPxSR until the received data is ready. Once the
8 bits of data have been received, that byte is moved to
the SSPxBUF register. Then, the Buffer Full Detect bit,
BF of the SSPxSTAT register, and the interrupt flag bit,
SSPxIF, are set. This double-buffering of the received
data (SSPxBUF) allows the next byte to start reception
before reading the data that was just received. Any
write
to
the
SSPxBUF
register
during
transmission/reception of data will be ignored and the
write collision detect bit WCOL of the SSPxCON1
register, will be set. User software must clear the
WCOL bit to allow the following write(s) to the
SSPxBUF register to complete successfully.
When the application software is expecting to receive
valid data, the SSPxBUF should be read before the
next byte of data to transfer is written to the SSPxBUF.
The Buffer Full bit, BF of the SSPxSTAT register,
indicates when SSPxBUF has been loaded with the
received data (transmission is complete). When the
SSPxBUF is read, the BF bit is cleared. This data may
be irrelevant if the SPI is only a transmitter. Generally,
the MSSPx interrupt is used to determine when the
transmission/reception has completed. If the interrupt
method is not going to be used, then software polling
can be done to ensure that a write collision does not
occur.

SPI MASTER MODE
The master can initiate the data transfer at any time
because it controls the SCKx line. The master
determines when the slave (Processor 2, Figure 24-5)
is to broadcast data by the software protocol.
In Master mode, the data is transmitted/received as
soon as the SSPxBUF register is written to. If the SPI
is only going to receive, the SDOx output could be disabled (programmed as an input). The SSPxSR register
will continue to shift in the signal present on the SDIx
pin at the programmed clock rate. As each byte is
received, it will be loaded into the SSPxBUF register as
if a normal received byte (interrupts and Status bits
appropriately set).
The clock polarity is selected by appropriately
programming the CKP bit of the SSPxCON1 register
and the CKE bit of the SSPxSTAT register. This then,
would give waveforms for SPI communication as
shown in Figure 24-6, Figure 24-8 and Figure 24-9,
where the MSb is transmitted first. In Master mode, the
SPI clock rate (bit rate) is user programmable to be one
of the following:
•
•
•
•
•
FOSC/4 (or TCY)
FOSC/16 (or 4 * TCY)
FOSC/64 (or 16 * TCY)
Timer2 output/2
Fosc/(4 * (SSPxADD + 1))
Figure 24-6 shows the waveforms for Master mode.
When the CKE bit is set, the SDOx data is valid before
there is a clock edge on SCKx. The change of the input
sample is shown based on the state of the SMP bit. The
time when the SSPxBUF is loaded with the received
data is shown.

24.2.4
SPI SLAVE MODE
In Slave mode, the data is transmitted and received as
external clock pulses appear on SCKx. When the last
bit is latched, the SSPxIF interrupt flag bit is set.
Before enabling the module in SPI Slave mode, the clock
line must match the proper Idle state. The clock line can
be observed by reading the SCKx pin. The Idle state is
determined by the CKP bit of the SSPxCON1 register.
While in Slave mode, the external clock is supplied by
the external clock source on the SCKx pin. This external clock must meet the minimum high and low times
as specified in the electrical specifications.
While in Sleep mode, the slave can transmit/receive
data. The shift register is clocked from the SCKx pin
input and when a byte is received, the device will generate an interrupt. If enabled, the device will wake-up
from Sleep.
24.2.4.1
Daisy-Chain Configuration
The SPI bus can sometimes be connected in a
daisy-chain configuration. The first slave output is connected to the second slave input, the second slave
output is connected to the third slave input, and so on.
The final slave output is connected to the master input.
Each slave sends out, during a second group of clock
pulses, an exact copy of what was received during the
first group of clock pulses. The whole chain acts as
one large communication shift register. The
daisy-chain feature only requires a single Slave Select
line from the master device.
Figure 24-7 shows the block diagram of a typical
daisy-chain connection when operating in SPI Mode.
In a daisy-chain configuration, only the most recent
byte on the bus is required by the slave. Setting the
BOEN bit of the SSPxCON3 register will enable writes
to the SSPxBUF register, even if the previous byte has
not been read. This allows the software to ignore data
that may not apply to it.
24.2.5
SLAVE SELECT
SYNCHRONIZATION
The Slave Select can also be used to synchronize communication. The Slave Select line is held high until the
master device is ready to communicate. When the
Slave Select line is pulled low, the slave knows that a
new transmission is starting.
If the slave fails to receive the communication properly,
it will be reset at the end of the transmission, when the
Slave Select line returns to a high state. The slave is
then ready to receive a new transmission when the
Slave Select line is pulled low again. If the Slave Select
line is not used, there is a risk that the slave will eventually become out of sync with the master. If the slave
misses a bit, it will always be one bit off in future transmissions. Use of the Slave Select line allows the slave
and master to align themselves at the beginning of
each transmission.
The SSx pin allows a Synchronous Slave mode. The
SPI must be in Slave mode with SSx pin control
enabled (SSPxCON1<3:0> = 0100).
When the SSx pin is low, transmission and reception
are enabled and the SDOx pin is driven.
When the SSx pin goes high, the SDOx pin is no longer
driven, even if in the middle of a transmitted byte and
becomes a floating output. External pull-up/pull-down
resistors may be desirable depending on the application.
Note 1: When the SPI is in Slave mode with SSx
pin control enabled (SSPxCON1<3:0> =
0100), the SPI module will reset if the SSx
pin is set to VDD.
2: When the SPI is used in Slave mode with
CKE set; the user must enable SSx pin
control.
3: While operated in SPI Slave mode the
SMP bit of the SSPxSTAT register must
remain clear.
When the SPI module resets, the bit counter is forced
to ‘0’. This can be done by either forcing the SSx pin to
a high level or clearing the SSPEN bit.

24.2.6 SPI OPERATION IN SLEEP MODE
In SPI Master mode, module clocks may be operating
at a different speed than when in full power mode; in
the case of the Sleep mode, all clocks are halted.
Special care must be taken by the user when the
MSSPx clock is much faster than the system clock.
In Slave mode, when MSSPx interrupts are enabled,
after the master completes sending data, an MSSPx
interrupt will wake the controller from Sleep.
If an exit from Sleep mode is not desired, MSSPx interrupts should be disabled.
TABLE 24-1:
In SPI Master mode, when the Sleep mode is selected,
all module clocks are halted and the transmission/reception will remain in that state until the device
wakes. After the device returns to Run mode, the module will resume transmitting and receiving data.
In SPI Slave mode, the SPI Transmit/Receive Shift
register operates asynchronously to the device. This
allows the device to be placed in Sleep mode and data
to be shifted into the SPI Transmit/Receive Shift
register. When all 8 bits have been received, the
MSSPx interrupt flag bit will be set and if enabled, will
wake the device.

24.3
I2C MODE OVERVIEW
The Inter-Integrated Circuit Bus (I²C) is a multi-master
serial data communication bus. Devices communicate
in a master/slave environment where the master
devices initiate the communication. A Slave device is
controlled through addressing.
VDD
SCLx
The I2C bus specifies two signal connections:
• Serial Clock (SCLx)
• Serial Data (SDAx)
Figure 24-2 and Figure 24-3 show the block diagrams
of the MSSPx module when operating in I2C mode.
Both the SCLx and SDAx connections are bidirectional
open-drain lines, each requiring pull-up resistors for the
supply voltage. Pulling the line to ground is considered
a logical zero and letting the line float is considered a
logical one.
Figure 24-11 shows a typical connection between two
processors configured as master and slave devices.
The I2C bus can operate with one or more master
devices and one or more slave devices.
There are four potential modes of operation for a given
device:
• Master Transmit mode
(master is transmitting data to a slave)
• Master Receive mode
(master is receiving data from a slave)
• Slave Transmit mode
(slave is transmitting data to a master)
• Slave Receive mode
(slave is receiving data from the master)
To begin communication, a master device starts out in
Master Transmit mode. The master device sends out a
Start bit followed by the address byte of the slave it
intends to communicate with. This is followed by a single Read/Write bit, which determines whether the master intends to transmit to or receive data from the slave
device.
If the requested slave exists on the bus, it will respond
with an Acknowledge bit, otherwise known as an ACK.
The master then continues in either Transmit mode or
Receive mode and the slave continues in the complement, either in Receive mode or Transmit mode,
respectively.
A Start bit is indicated by a high-to-low transition of the
SDAx line while the SCLx line is held high. Address and
data bytes are sent out, Most Significant bit (MSb) first.
The Read/Write bit is sent out as a logical one when the
master intends to read data from the slave, and is sent
out as a logical zero when it intends to write data to the
slave.
DS41414D-page 254
I2C MASTER/
SLAVE CONNECTION
FIGURE 24-11:
SCLx
VDD
Master
Slave
SDAx
SDAx
The Acknowledge bit (ACK) is an active-low signal,
which holds the SDAx line low to indicate to the transmitter that the slave device has received the transmitted data and is ready to receive more.
The transition of a data bit is always performed while
the SCLx line is held low. Transitions that occur while
the SCLx line is held high are used to indicate Start and
Stop bits.
If the master intends to write to the slave, then it repeatedly sends out a byte of data, with the slave responding
after each byte with an ACK bit. In this example, the
master device is in Master Transmit mode and the
slave is in Slave Receive mode.
If the master intends to read from the slave, then it
repeatedly receives a byte of data from the slave, and
responds after each byte with an ACK bit. In this example, the master device is in Master Receive mode and
the slave is Slave Transmit mode.
On the last byte of data communicated, the master
device may end the transmission by sending a Stop bit.
If the master device is in Receive mode, it sends the
Stop bit in place of the last ACK bit. A Stop bit is indicated by a low-to-high transition of the SDAx line while
the SCLx line is held high.
In some cases, the master may want to maintain control of the bus and re-initiate another transmission. If
so, the master device may send another Start bit in
place of the Stop bit or last ACK bit when it is in receive
mode.
The I2C bus specifies three message protocols;
• Single message where a master writes data to a
slave.
• Single message where a master reads data from
a slave.
• Combined message where a master initiates a
minimum of two writes, or two reads, or a
combination of writes and reads, to one or more
slaves.
 2010-2012 Microchip Technology Inc.
PIC16(L)F1946/47
When one device is transmitting a logical one, or letting
the line float, and a second device is transmitting a logical zero, or holding the line low, the first device can
detect that the line is not a logical one. This detection,
when used on the SCLx line, is called clock stretching.
Clock stretching gives slave devices a mechanism to
control the flow of data. When this detection is used on
the SDAx line, it is called arbitration. Arbitration
ensures that there is only one master device communicating at any single time.
Slave Transmit mode can also be arbitrated, when a
master addresses multiple slaves, but this is less common.
24.3.1
Arbitration usually occurs very rarely, but it is a necessary process for proper multi-master support.
CLOCK STRETCHING
When a slave device has not completed processing
data, it can delay the transfer of more data through the
process of Clock Stretching. An addressed slave
device may hold the SCLx clock line low after receiving
or sending a bit, indicating that it is not yet ready to continue. The master that is communicating with the slave
will attempt to raise the SCLx line in order to transfer
the next bit, but will detect that the clock line has not yet
been released. Because the SCLx connection is
open-drain, the slave has the ability to hold that line low
until it is ready to continue communicating.
Clock stretching allows receivers that cannot keep up
with a transmitter to control the flow of incoming data.
24.3.2
ARBITRATION
Each master device must monitor the bus for Start and
Stop bits. If the device detects that the bus is busy, it
cannot begin a new message until the bus returns to an
Idle state.
However, two master devices may try to initiate a transmission on or about the same time. When this occurs,
the process of arbitration begins. Each transmitter
checks the level of the SDAx data line and compares it
to the level that it expects to find. The first transmitter to
observe that the two levels don’t match, loses arbitration, and must stop transmitting on the SDAx line.
For example, if one transmitter holds the SDAx line to
a logical one (lets it float) and a second transmitter
holds it to a logical zero (pulls it low), the result is that
the SDAx line will be low. The first transmitter then
observes that the level of the line is different than
expected and concludes that another transmitter is
communicating.
The first transmitter to notice this difference is the one
that loses arbitration and must stop driving the SDAx
line. If this transmitter is also a master device, it also
must stop driving the SCLx line. It then can monitor the
lines for a Stop condition before trying to reissue its
transmission. In the meantime, the other device that
has not noticed any difference between the expected
and actual levels on the SDAx line continues with its
original transmission. It can do so without any complications, because so far, the transmission appears
exactly as expected with no other transmitter disturbing
the message.
 2010-2012 Microchip Technology Inc.
If two master devices are sending a message to two different slave devices at the address stage, the master
sending the lower slave address always wins arbitration. When two master devices send messages to the
same slave address, and addresses can sometimes
refer to multiple slaves, the arbitration process must
continue into the data stage.
24.4
I2C Mode Operation
All MSSPx I2C communication is byte oriented and
shifted out MSb first. Six SFR registers and 2 interrupt
flags interface the module with the PIC® microcontroller and user software. Two pins, SDAx and SCLx,
are exercised by the module to communicate with
other external I2C devices.
24.4.1 BYTE FORMAT
All communication in I2C is done in 9-bit segments. A
byte is sent from a Master to a Slave or vice-versa, followed by an Acknowledge bit sent back. After the 8th
falling edge of the SCLx line, the device outputting data
on the SDAx changes that pin to an input and reads in
an acknowledge value on the next clock pulse.
The clock signal, SCLx, is provided by the master.
Data is valid to change while the SCLx signal is low,
and sampled on the rising edge of the clock. Changes
on the SDAx line while the SCLx line is high define
special conditions on the bus, explained below.
24.4.2 DEFINITION OF I2C TERMINOLOGY
There is language and terminology in the description of
I2C communication that have definitions specific to I2C.
That word usage is defined below and may be used in
the rest of this document without explanation. This table
was adapted from the Philips I2C specification.
24.4.3 SDAX AND SCLX PINS
Selection of any I2C mode with the SSPEN bit set,
forces the SCLx and SDAx pins to be open-drain.
These pins should be set by the user to inputs by setting the appropriate TRIS bits.
Note: Data is tied to output zero when an I2C
mode is enabled.
DS41414D-page 255
PIC16(L)F1946/47
24.4.4 SDAX HOLD TIME
The hold time of the SDAx pin is selected by the
SDAHT bit of the SSPxCON3 register. Hold time is the
time SDAx is held valid after the falling edge of SCLx.
Setting the SDAHT bit selects a longer 300 ns minimum hold time and may help on buses with large
capacitance.

24.4.5 START CONDITION
has the same effect on the slave that a Start would,
resetting all slave logic and preparing it to clock in an
address. The master may want to address the same or
another slave.
The I2C specification defines a Start condition as a
transition of SDAx from a high to a low state while
SCLx line is high. A Start condition is always generated by the master and signifies the transition of the
bus from an Idle to an Active state. Figure 24-10
shows wave forms for Start and Stop conditions.
In 10-bit Addressing Slave mode a Restart is required
for the master to clock data out of the addressed
slave. Once a slave has been fully addressed, matching both high and low address bytes, the master can
issue a Restart and the high address byte with the
R/W bit set. The slave logic will then hold the clock
and prepare to clock out data.
A bus collision can occur on a Start condition if the
module samples the SDAx line low before asserting it
low. This does not conform to the I2C Specification that
states no bus collision can occur on a Start.
After a full match with R/W clear in 10-bit mode, a prior
match flag is set and maintained. Until a Stop condition, a high address with R/W clear, or high address
match fails.
24.4.6 STOP CONDITION
A Stop condition is a transition of the SDAx line from
low-to-high state while the SCLx line is high.
24.4.8 START/STOP CONDITION INTERRUPT
MASKING
Note: At least one SCLx low time must appear
before a Stop is valid, therefore, if the SDAx
line goes low then high again while the SCLx
line stays high, only the Start condition is
detected.
24.4.7
The SCIE and PCIE bits of the SSPxCON3 register
can enable the generation of an interrupt in Slave
modes that do not typically support this function. Slave
modes where interrupt on Start and Stop detect are
already enabled, these bits will have no effect.
RESTART CONDITION
A Restart is valid any time that a Stop would be valid.
A master can issue a Restart if it wishes to hold the
bus after terminating the current transfer. A Restart

I2C SLAVE MODE OPERATION
24.4.9 ACKNOWLEDGE SEQUENCE
24.5
The 9th SCLx pulse for any transferred byte in I2C is
dedicated as an Acknowledge. It allows receiving
devices to respond back to the transmitter by pulling
the SDAx line low. The transmitter must release control of the line during this time to shift in the response.
The Acknowledge (ACK) is an active-low signal, pulling the SDAx line low indicated to the transmitter that
the device has received the transmitted data and is
ready to receive more.
The MSSPx Slave mode operates in one of four
modes selected in the SSPM bits of SSPxCON1 register. The modes can be divided into 7-bit and 10-bit
Addressing mode. 10-bit Addressing modes operate
the same as 7-bit with some additional overhead for
handling the larger addresses.
The result of an ACK is placed in the ACKSTAT bit of
the SSPxCON2 register.
Slave software, when the AHEN and DHEN bits are
set, allow the user to set the ACK value sent back to
the transmitter. The ACKDT bit of the SSPxCON2 register is set/cleared to determine the response.
Slave hardware will generate an ACK response if the
AHEN and DHEN bits of the SSPxCON3 register are
clear.
There are certain conditions where an ACK will not be
sent by the slave. If the BF bit of the SSPxSTAT register or the SSPOV bit of the SSPxCON1 register are
set when a byte is received.
When the module is addressed, after the 8th falling
edge of SCLx on the bus, the ACKTIM bit of the
SSPxCON3 register is set. The ACKTIM bit indicates
the acknowledge time of the active bus. The ACKTIM
Status bit is only active when the AHEN bit or DHEN
bit is enabled.
Modes with Start and Stop bit interrupts operated the
same as the other modes with SSPxIF additionally
getting set upon detection of a Start, Restart, or Stop
condition.
24.5.1 SLAVE MODE ADDRESSES
The SSPxADD register (Register 24-6) contains the
Slave mode address. The first byte received after a
Start or Restart condition is compared against the
value stored in this register. If the byte matches, the
value is loaded into the SSPxBUF register and an
interrupt is generated. If the value does not match, the
module goes idle and no indication is given to the software that anything happened.
The SSPx Mask register (Register 24-5) affects the
address matching process. See Section 24.5.9
“SSPx Mask Register” for more information.
24.5.1.1 I2C Slave 7-bit Addressing Mode
In 7-bit Addressing mode, the LSb of the received data
byte is ignored when determining if there is an address
match.
24.5.1.2 I2C Slave 10-bit Addressing Mode
In 10-bit Addressing mode, the first received byte is
compared to the binary value of ‘1 1 1 1 0 A9 A8 0’. A9
and A8 are the two MSb of the 10-bit address and
stored in bits 2 and 1 of the SSPxADD register.
After the acknowledge of the high byte, the UA bit is
set and SCLx is held low until the user updates
SSPxADD with the low address. The low address byte
is clocked in and all 8 bits are compared to the low
address value in SSPxADD. Even if there is not an
address match; SSPxIF and UA are set, and SCLx is
held low until SSPxADD is updated to receive a high
byte again. When SSPxADD is updated, the UA bit is
cleared. This ensures the module is ready to receive
the high address byte on the next communication.
A high and low address match as a write request is
required at the start of all 10-bit addressing communication. A transmission can be initiated by issuing a
Restart once the slave is addressed, and clocking in
the high address with the R/W bit set. The slave hardware will then acknowledge the read request and prepare to clock out data. This is only valid for a slave
after it has received a complete high and low address
byte match.

24.5.2 SLAVE RECEPTION
24.5.2.2 7-bit Reception with AHEN and DHEN
When the R/W bit of a matching received address byte
is clear, the R/W bit of the SSPxSTAT register is
cleared. The received address is loaded into the
SSPxBUF register and acknowledged.
Slave device reception with AHEN and DHEN set
operate the same as without these options with extra
interrupts and clock stretching added after the 8th falling edge of SCLx. These additional interrupts allow the
slave software to decide whether it wants to ACK the
receive address or data byte, rather than the hardware. This functionality adds support for PMBus™ that
was not present on previous versions of this module.
When the overflow condition exists for a received
address, then not Acknowledge is given. An overflow
condition is defined as either bit BF of the SSPxSTAT
register is set, or bit SSPOV of the SSPxCON1 register
is set. The BOEN bit of the SSPxCON3 register modifies this operation. For more information see
Register 24-4.
An MSSPx interrupt is generated for each transferred
data byte. Flag bit, SSPxIF, must be cleared by
software.
When the SEN bit of the SSPxCON2 register is set,
SCLx will be held low (clock stretch) following each
received byte. The clock must be released by setting
the CKP bit of the SSPxCON1 register, except
sometimes in 10-bit mode. See Section 24.2.3 “SPI
Master Mode” for more detail.
24.5.2.1 7-bit Addressing Reception
This section describes a standard sequence of events
for the MSSPx module configured as an I2C Slave in
7-bit Addressing mode. Figure 24-13 and Figure 24-14

This list describes the steps that need to be taken by
slave software to use these options for I2C communication. Figure 24-15 displays a module using both
address and data holding. Figure 24-16 includes the
operation with the SEN bit of the SSPxCON2 register
set.
1.
S bit of SSPxSTAT is set; SSPxIF is set if interrupt on Start detect is enabled.
2. Matching address with R/W bit clear is clocked
in. SSPxIF is set and CKP cleared after the 8th
falling edge of SCLx.
3. Slave clears the SSPxIF.
4. Slave can look at the ACKTIM bit of the
SSPxCON3 register to determine if the SSPxIF
was after or before the ACK.
5. Slave reads the address value from SSPxBUF,
clearing the BF flag.
6. Slave sets ACK value clocked out to the master
by setting ACKDT.
7. Slave releases the clock by setting CKP.
8. SSPxIF is set after an ACK, not after a NACK.
9. If SEN = 1 the slave hardware will stretch the
clock after the ACK.
10. Slave clears SSPxIF.
Note: SSPxIF is still set after the 9th falling edge of
SCLx even if there is no clock stretching and
BF has been cleared. Only if NACK is sent
to Master is SSPxIF not set
11. SSPxIF set and CKP cleared after 8th falling
edge of SCLx for a received data byte.
12. Slave looks at ACKTIM bit of SSPxCON3 to
determine the source of the interrupt.
13. Slave reads the received data from SSPxBUF
clearing BF.
14. Steps 7-14 are the same for each received data
byte.
15. Communication is ended by either the slave
sending an ACK = 1, or the master sending a
Stop condition. If a Stop is sent and Interrupt on
Stop Detect is disabled, the slave will only know
by polling the P bit of the SSTSTAT register.

SLAVE TRANSMISSION
24.5.3.2
7-bit Transmission
When the R/W bit of the incoming address byte is set
and an address match occurs, the R/W bit of the
SSPxSTAT register is set. The received address is
loaded into the SSPxBUF register, and an ACK pulse is
sent by the slave on the ninth bit.
A master device can transmit a read request to a
slave, and then clock data out of the slave. The list
below outlines what software for a slave will need to
do to accomplish a standard transmission.
Figure 24-17 can be used as a reference to this list.
Following the ACK, slave hardware clears the CKP bit
and the SCLx pin is held low (see Section 24.5.6
“Clock Stretching” for more detail). By stretching the
clock, the master will be unable to assert another clock
pulse until the slave is done preparing the transmit
data.
1.
The transmit data must be loaded into the SSPxBUF
register which also loads the SSPxSR register. Then
the SCLx pin should be released by setting the CKP bit
of the SSPxCON1 register. The eight data bits are
shifted out on the falling edge of the SCLx input. This
ensures that the SDAx signal is valid during the SCLx
high time.
The ACK pulse from the master-receiver is latched on
the rising edge of the ninth SCLx input pulse. This ACK
value is copied to the ACKSTAT bit of the SSPxCON2
register. If ACKSTAT is set (not ACK), then the data
transfer is complete. In this case, when the not ACK is
latched by the slave, the slave goes idle and waits for
another occurrence of the Start bit. If the SDAx line was
low (ACK), the next transmit data must be loaded into
the SSPxBUF register. Again, the SCLx pin must be
released by setting bit CKP.
An MSSPx interrupt is generated for each data transfer
byte. The SSPxIF bit must be cleared by software and
the SSPxSTAT register is used to determine the status
of the byte. The SSPxIF bit is set on the falling edge of
the ninth clock pulse.
24.5.3.1
Slave Mode Bus Collision
A slave receives a Read request and begins shifting
data out on the SDAx line. If a bus collision is detected
and the SBCDE bit of the SSPxCON3 register is set,
the BCLxIF bit of the PIRx register is set. Once a bus
collision is detected, the slave goes Idle and waits to be
addressed again. User software can use the BCLxIF bit
to handle a slave bus collision.
DS41414D-page 264
Master sends a Start condition on SDAx and
SCLx.
2. S bit of SSPxSTAT is set; SSPxIF is set if interrupt on Start detect is enabled.
3. Matching address with R/W bit set is received by
the Slave setting SSPxIF bit.
4. Slave hardware generates an ACK and sets
SSPxIF.
5. SSPxIF bit is cleared by user.
6. Software reads the received address from
SSPxBUF, clearing BF.
7. R/W is set so CKP was automatically cleared
after the ACK.
8. The slave software loads the transmit data into
SSPxBUF.
9. CKP bit is set releasing SCLx, allowing the
master to clock the data out of the slave.
10. SSPxIF is set after the ACK response from the
master is loaded into the ACKSTAT register.
11. SSPxIF bit is cleared.
12. The slave software checks the ACKSTAT bit to
see if the master wants to clock out more data.
Note 1: If the master ACKs the clock will be
stretched.
2: ACKSTAT is the only bit updated on the
rising edge of SCLx (9th) rather than the
falling.
13. Steps 9-13 are repeated for each transmitted
byte.
14. If the master sends a not ACK; the clock is not
held, but SSPxIF is still set.
15. The master sends a Restart condition or a Stop.
16. The slave is no longer addressed.

24.5.6 CLOCK STRETCHING
24.5.6.2 10-bit Addressing Mode
Clock stretching occurs when a device on the bus
holds the SCLx line low effectively pausing communication. The slave may stretch the clock to allow more
time to handle data or prepare a response for the master device. A master device is not concerned with
stretching as anytime it is active on the bus and not
transferring data it is stretching. Any stretching done
by a slave is invisible to the master software and handled by the hardware that generates SCLx.
In 10-bit Addressing mode, when the UA bit is set, the
clock is always stretched. This is the only time the
SCLx is stretched without CKP being cleared. SCLx is
released immediately after a write to SSPxADD.
The CKP bit of the SSPxCON1 register is used to control stretching in software. Any time the CKP bit is
cleared, the module will wait for the SCLx line to go
low and then hold it. Setting CKP will release SCLx
and allow more communication.
24.5.6.1 Normal Clock Stretching
Following an ACK if the R/W bit of SSPxSTAT is set, a
read request, the slave hardware will clear CKP. This
allows the slave time to update SSPxBUF with data to
transfer to the master. If the SEN bit of SSPxCON2 is
set, the slave hardware will always stretch the clock
after the ACK sequence. Once the slave is ready; CKP
is set by software and communication resumes.
Note 1: The BF bit has no effect on if the clock will
be stretched or not. This is different than
previous versions of the module that
would not stretch the clock, clear CKP, if
SSPxBUF was read before the 9th falling
edge of SCLx.
2: Previous versions of the module did not
stretch the clock for a transmission if
SSPxBUF was loaded before the 9th falling edge of SCLx. It is now always cleared
for read requests.
FIGURE 24-23:
Note: Previous versions of the module did not
stretch the clock if the second address byte
did not match.
24.5.6.3 Byte NACKing
When AHEN bit of SSPxCON3 is set; CKP is cleared
by hardware after the 8th falling edge of SCLx for a
received matching address byte. When DHEN bit of
SSPxCON3 is set; CKP is cleared after the 8th falling
edge of SCLx for received data.
Stretching after the 8th falling edge of SCLx allows the
slave to look at the received address or data and
decide if it wants to ACK the received data.
24.5.7 CLOCK SYNCHRONIZATION AND
THE CKP BIT
Any time the CKP bit is cleared, the module will wait
for the SCLx line to go low and then hold it. However,
clearing the CKP bit will not assert the SCLx output
low until the SCLx output is already sampled low.
Therefore, the CKP bit will not assert the SCLx line
until an external I2C master device has already
asserted the SCLx line. The SCLx output will remain
low until the CKP bit is set and all other devices on the
I2C bus have released SCLx. This ensures that a write
to the CKP bit will not violate the minimum high time
requirement for SCLx (see Figure 24-22).

24.5.8 GENERAL CALL ADDRESS SUPPORT
In 10-bit Address mode, the UA bit will not be set on
the reception of the general call address. The slave
will prepare to receive the second byte as data, just as
it would in 7-bit mode.
The addressing procedure for the I2C bus is such that
the first byte after the Start condition usually determines which device will be the slave addressed by the
master device. The exception is the general call
address which can address all devices. When this
address is used, all devices should, in theory, respond
with an acknowledge.
If the AHEN bit of the SSPxCON3 register is set, just
as with any other address reception, the slave hardware will stretch the clock after the 8th falling edge of
SCLx. The slave must then set its ACKDT value and
release the clock with communication progressing as it
would normally.
The general call address is a reserved address in the
I2C protocol, defined as address 0x00. When the
GCEN bit of the SSPxCON2 register is set, the slave
module will automatically ACK the reception of this
address regardless of the value stored in SSPxADD.
After the slave clocks in an address of all zeros with
the R/W bit clear, an interrupt is generated and slave
software can read SSPxBUF and respond.
Figure 24-23 shows a general call reception
sequence.

24.5.9 SSPX MASK REGISTER
An SSPx Mask (SSPxMSK) register (Register 24-5) is
available in I2C Slave mode as a mask for the value
held in the SSPxSR register during an address
comparison operation. A zero (‘0’) bit in the SSPxMSK
register has the effect of making the corresponding bit
of the received address a “don’t care”.
This register is reset to all ‘1’s upon any Reset
condition and, therefore, has no effect on standard
SSPx operation until written with a mask value.
The SSPx Mask register is active during:
• 7-bit Address mode: address compare of A<7:1>.
• 10-bit Address mode: address compare of A<7:0>
only. The SSPx mask has no effect during the
reception of the first (high) byte of the address.

I2C MASTER MODE
Master mode is enabled by setting and clearing the
appropriate SSPM bits in the SSPxCON1 register and
by setting the SSPEN bit. In Master mode, the SDAx
and SCKx pins must be configured as inputs. The
MSSP peripheral hardware will override the output
driver TRIS controls when necessary to drive the pins
low.
Master mode of operation is supported by interrupt
generation on the detection of the Start and Stop conditions. The Stop (P) and Start (S) bits are cleared from
a Reset or when the MSSPx module is disabled. Control of the I 2C bus may be taken when the P bit is set,
or the bus is Idle.
In Firmware Controlled Master mode, user code
conducts all I 2C bus operations based on Start and
Stop bit condition detection. Start and Stop condition
detection is the only active circuitry in this mode. All
other communication is done by the user software
directly manipulating the SDAx and SCLx lines.
The following events will cause the SSPx Interrupt Flag
bit, SSPxIF, to be set (SSPx interrupt, if enabled):
•
•
•
•
•
Start condition detected
Stop condition detected
Data transfer byte transmitted/received
Acknowledge transmitted/received
Repeated Start generated
24.6.1 I2C MASTER MODE OPERATION
The master device generates all of the serial clock
pulses and the Start and Stop conditions. A transfer is
ended with a Stop condition or with a Repeated Start
condition. Since the Repeated Start condition is also
the beginning of the next serial transfer, the I2C bus will
not be released.
In Master Transmitter mode, serial data is output
through SDAx, while SCLx outputs the serial clock. The
first byte transmitted contains the slave address of the
receiving device (7 bits) and the Read/Write (R/W) bit.
In this case, the R/W bit will be logic ‘0’. Serial data is
transmitted 8 bits at a time. After each byte is transmitted, an Acknowledge bit is received. Start and Stop
conditions are output to indicate the beginning and the
end of a serial transfer.
In Master Receive mode, the first byte transmitted contains the slave address of the transmitting device
(7 bits) and the R/W bit. In this case, the R/W bit will be
logic ‘1’. Thus, the first byte transmitted is a 7-bit slave
address followed by a ‘1’ to indicate the receive bit.
Serial data is received via SDAx, while SCLx outputs
the serial clock. Serial data is received 8 bits at a time.
After each byte is received, an Acknowledge bit is
transmitted. Start and Stop conditions indicate the
beginning and end of transmission.
A Baud Rate Generator is used to set the clock
frequency output on SCLx. See Section 24.7 “Baud
Rate Generator” for more detail.
Note 1: The MSSPx module, when configured in
I2C Master mode, does not allow queueing of events. For instance, the user is not
allowed to initiate a Start condition and
immediately write the SSPxBUF register
to initiate transmission before the Start
condition is complete. In this case, the
SSPxBUF will not be written to and the
WCOL bit will be set, indicating that a
write to the SSPxBUF did not occur
2: When in Master mode, Start/Stop detection is masked and an interrupt is generated when the SEN/PEN bit is cleared and
the generation is complete.

24.6.2 CLOCK ARBITRATION
Clock arbitration occurs when the master, during any
receive, transmit or Repeated Start/Stop condition,
releases the SCLx pin (SCLx allowed to float high).
When the SCLx pin is allowed to float high, the Baud
Rate Generator (BRG) is suspended from counting
until the SCLx pin is actually sampled high. When the
SCLx pin is sampled high, the Baud Rate Generator is
reloaded with the contents of SSPxADD<7:0> and
begins counting. This ensures that the SCLx high time
will always be at least one BRG rollover count in the
event that the clock is held low by an external device
(Figure 24-25).

If the user writes the SSPxBUF when a Start, Restart,

Because queueing of events is not
allowed, writing to the lower 5 bits of

CONDITION TIMING
by hardware; the Baud Rate Generator is suspended,
leaving the SDAx line held low and the Start condition

To initiate a Start condition, the user sets the Start
Enable bit, SEN bit of the SSPxCON2 register. If the
SDAx and SCLx pins are sampled high, the Baud Rate
Generator is reloaded with the contents of
SSPxADD<7:0> and starts its count. If SCLx and
SDAx are both sampled high when the Baud Rate
Generator times out (TBRG), the SDAx pin is driven
low. The action of the SDAx being driven low while
SCLx is high is the Start condition and causes the S bit
of the SSPxSTAT1 register to be set. Following this,
the Baud Rate Generator is reloaded with the contents
of SSPxADD<7:0> and resumes its count. When the
Baud Rate Generator times out (TBRG), the SEN bit of
the SSPxCON2 register will be automatically cleared
FIGURE 24-26:
Note 1: If at the beginning of the Start condition,
the SDAx and SCLx pins are already sampled low, or if during the Start condition,
the SCLx line is sampled low before the

BCLxIF, is set, the Start condition is
aborted and the I2C module is reset into

START CONDITION TIMING
SSPxCON2 register will be automatically cleared and
the Baud Rate Generator will not be reloaded, leaving
the SDAx pin held low. As soon as a Start condition is
detected on the SDAx and SCLx pins, the S bit of the
SSPxSTAT register will be set. The SSPxIF bit will not
be set until the Baud Rate Generator has timed out.
A Repeated Start condition occurs when the RSEN bit
of the SSPxCON2 register is programmed high and the
Master state machine is no longer active. When the
RSEN bit is set, the SCLx pin is asserted low. When the
SCLx pin is sampled low, the Baud Rate Generator is
loaded and begins counting. The SDAx pin is released
(brought high) for one Baud Rate Generator count
(TBRG). When the Baud Rate Generator times out, if
SDAx is sampled high, the SCLx pin will be deasserted
(brought high). When SCLx is sampled high, the Baud
Rate Generator is reloaded and begins counting. SDAx
and SCLx must be sampled high for one TBRG. This
action is then followed by assertion of the SDAx pin
(SDAx = 0) for one TBRG while SCLx is high. SCLx is
asserted low. Following this, the RSEN bit of the

24.6.6 I2C MASTER MODE TRANSMISSION
24.6.6.3
Transmission of a data byte, a 7-bit address or the
other half of a 10-bit address is accomplished by simply
writing a value to the SSPxBUF register. This action will
set the Buffer Full flag bit, BF, and allow the Baud Rate
Generator to begin counting and start the next transmission. Each bit of address/data will be shifted out
onto the SDAx pin after the falling edge of SCLx is
asserted. SCLx is held low for one Baud Rate Generator rollover count (TBRG). Data should be valid before
SCLx is released high. When the SCLx pin is released
high, it is held that way for TBRG. The data on the SDAx
pin must remain stable for that duration and some hold
time after the next falling edge of SCLx. After the eighth
bit is shifted out (the falling edge of the eighth clock),
the BF flag is cleared and the master releases SDAx.
This allows the slave device being addressed to
respond with an ACK bit during the ninth bit time if an
address match occurred, or if data was received properly. The status of ACK is written into the ACKSTAT bit
on the rising edge of the ninth clock. If the master
receives an Acknowledge, the Acknowledge Status bit,
ACKSTAT, is cleared. If not, the bit is set. After the ninth
clock, the SSPxIF bit is set and the master clock (Baud
Rate Generator) is suspended until the next data byte
is loaded into the SSPxBUF, leaving SCLx low and
SDAx unchanged (Figure 24-27).
In Transmit mode, the ACKSTAT bit of the SSPxCON2
register is cleared when the slave has sent an Acknowledge (ACK = 0) and is set when the slave does not
Acknowledge (ACK = 1). A slave sends an Acknowledge when it has recognized its address (including a
general call), or when the slave has properly received
its data.
After the write to the SSPxBUF, each bit of the address
will be shifted out on the falling edge of SCLx until all
seven address bits and the R/W bit are completed. On
the falling edge of the eighth clock, the master will
release the SDAx pin, allowing the slave to respond
with an Acknowledge. On the falling edge of the ninth
clock, the master will sample the SDAx pin to see if the
address was recognized by a slave. The status of the
ACK bit is loaded into the ACKSTAT Status bit of the
SSPxCON2 register. Following the falling edge of the
ninth clock transmission of the address, the SSPxIF is
set, the BF flag is cleared and the Baud Rate Generator
is turned off until another write to the SSPxBUF takes
place, holding SCLx low and allowing SDAx to float.

I2C MASTER MODE RECEPTION
Master mode reception is enabled by programming the
Receive Enable bit, RCEN bit of the SSPxCON2
register.
Note:
The MSSPx module must be in an Idle
state before the RCEN bit is set or the
RCEN bit will be disregarded.
The Baud Rate Generator begins counting and on each
rollover, the state of the SCLx pin changes
(high-to-low/low-to-high) and data is shifted into the
SSPxSR. After the falling edge of the eighth clock, the
receive enable flag is automatically cleared, the contents of the SSPxSR are loaded into the SSPxBUF, the
BF flag bit is set, the SSPxIF flag bit is set and the Baud
Rate Generator is suspended from counting, holding
SCLx low. The MSSPx is now in Idle state awaiting the
next command. When the buffer is read by the CPU,
the BF flag bit is automatically cleared. The user can
then send an Acknowledge bit at the end of reception
by setting the Acknowledge Sequence Enable, ACKEN
bit of the SSPxCON2 register.

The user generates a Start condition by setting
the SEN bit of the SSPxCON2 register.
SSPxIF is set by hardware on completion of the
Start.
SSPxIF is cleared by software.
User writes SSPxBUF with the slave address to
transmit and the R/W bit set.
Address is shifted out the SDAx pin until all 8 bits
are transmitted. Transmission begins as soon
as SSPxBUF is written to.
The MSSPx module shifts in the ACK bit from
the slave device and writes its value into the
ACKSTAT bit of the SSPxCON2 register.
The MSSPx module generates an interrupt at
the end of the ninth clock cycle by setting the
SSPxIF bit.
User sets the RCEN bit of the SSPxCON2 register and the Master clocks in a byte from the slave.
After the 8th falling edge of SCLx, SSPxIF and
BF are set.
Master clears SSPxIF and reads the received
byte from SSPxUF, clears BF.
Master sets ACK value sent to slave in ACKDT
bit of the SSPxCON2 register and initiates the
ACK by setting the ACKEN bit.
Masters ACK is clocked out to the Slave and
SSPxIF is set.
User clears SSPxIF.
Steps 8-13 are repeated for each received byte
from the slave.
Master sends a not ACK or Stop to end
communication.

ACKNOWLEDGE SEQUENCE
TIMING
24.6.9
A Stop bit is asserted on the SDAx pin at the end of a
receive/transmit by setting the Stop Sequence Enable
bit, PEN bit of the SSPxCON2 register. At the end of a
receive/transmit, the SCLx line is held low after the
falling edge of the ninth clock. When the PEN bit is set,
the master will assert the SDAx line low. When the
SDAx line is sampled low, the Baud Rate Generator is
reloaded and counts down to ‘0’. When the Baud Rate
Generator times out, the SCLx pin will be brought high
and one TBRG (Baud Rate Generator rollover count)
later, the SDAx pin will be deasserted. When the SDAx
pin is sampled high while SCLx is high, the P bit of the
SSPxSTAT register is set. A TBRG later, the PEN bit is
cleared and the SSPxIF bit is set (Figure 24-30).
An Acknowledge sequence is enabled by setting the
Acknowledge Sequence Enable bit, ACKEN bit of the
SSPxCON2 register. When this bit is set, the SCLx pin is
pulled low and the contents of the Acknowledge data bit
are presented on the SDAx pin. If the user wishes to
generate an Acknowledge, then the ACKDT bit should
be cleared. If not, the user should set the ACKDT bit
before starting an Acknowledge sequence. The Baud
Rate Generator then counts for one rollover period
(TBRG) and the SCLx pin is deasserted (pulled high).
When the SCLx pin is sampled high (clock arbitration),
the Baud Rate Generator counts for TBRG. The SCLx pin
is then pulled low. Following this, the ACKEN bit is automatically cleared, the Baud Rate Generator is turned off
and the MSSPx module then goes into Idle mode
(Figure 24-29).

addresses or data and when an address match or

from Sleep (if the MSSPx interrupt is enabled).

EFFECTS OF A RESET
A Reset disables the MSSPx module and terminates

24.6.12
MULTI-MASTER MODE
In Multi-Master mode, the interrupt generation on the
detection of the Start and Stop conditions allows the
determination of when the bus is free. The Stop (P) and
Start (S) bits are cleared from a Reset or when the
MSSPx module is disabled. Control of the I 2C bus may
be taken when the P bit of the SSPxSTAT register is
set, or the bus is Idle, with both the S and P bits clear.
When the bus is busy, enabling the SSPx interrupt will
generate the interrupt when the Stop condition occurs.
In multi-master operation, the SDAx line must be
monitored for arbitration to see if the signal level is the
expected output level. This check is performed by
hardware with the result placed in the BCLxIF bit.
The states where arbitration can be lost are:

24.6.13
MULTI -MASTER COMMUNICATION,
BUS COLLISION AND BUS
ARBITRATION
Multi-Master mode support is achieved by bus arbitration. When the master outputs address/data bits onto
the SDAx pin, arbitration takes place when the master
outputs a ‘1’ on SDAx, by letting SDAx float high and
another master asserts a ‘0’. When the SCLx pin floats
high, data should be stable. If the expected data on
SDAx is a ‘1’ and the data sampled on the SDAx pin is
‘0’, then a bus collision has taken place. The master will
set the Bus Collision Interrupt Flag, BCLxIF, and reset
the I2C port to its Idle state (Figure 24-31).
If a transmit was in progress when the bus collision
occurred, the transmission is halted, the BF flag is
cleared, the SDAx and SCLx lines are deasserted and
the SSPxBUF can be written to. When the user services the bus collision Interrupt Service Routine and if
the I2C bus is free, the user can resume communication by asserting a Start condition.
If a Start, Repeated Start, Stop or Acknowledge condition was in progress when the bus collision occurred, the
condition is aborted, the SDAx and SCLx lines are deasserted and the respective control bits in the SSPxCON2
register are cleared. When the user services the bus collision Interrupt Service Routine and if the I2C bus is free,
the user can resume communication by asserting a Start
condition.
The master will continue to monitor the SDAx and SCLx
pins. If a Stop condition occurs, the SSPxIF bit will be set.
A write to the SSPxBUF will start the transmission of
data at the first data bit, regardless of where the
transmitter left off when the bus collision occurred.
In Multi-Master mode, the interrupt generation on the
detection of Start and Stop conditions allows the determination of when the bus is free. Control of the I2C bus
can be taken when the P bit is set in the SSPxSTAT
register, or the bus is Idle and the S and P bits are
cleared.

Bus Collision During a Start
Condition
During a Start condition, a bus collision occurs if:
a)
b)
SDAx or SCLx are sampled low at the beginning
of the Start condition (Figure 24-32).
SCLx is sampled low before SDAx is asserted
low (Figure 24-33).
During a Start condition, both the SDAx and the SCLx
pins are monitored.
If the SDAx pin is sampled low during this count, the
BRG is reset and the SDAx line is asserted early
(Figure 24-34). If, however, a ‘1’ is sampled on the
SDAx pin, the SDAx pin is asserted low at the end of
the BRG count. The Baud Rate Generator is then
reloaded and counts down to zero; if the SCLx pin is
sampled as ‘0’ during this time, a bus collision does not
occur. At the end of the BRG count, the SCLx pin is
asserted low.
Note:
If the SDAx pin is already low, or the SCLx pin is
already low, then all of the following occur:
• the Start condition is aborted,
• the BCLxIF flag is set and
• the MSSPx module is reset to its Idle state
(Figure 24-32).
The Start condition begins with the SDAx and SCLx
pins deasserted. When the SDAx pin is sampled high,
the Baud Rate Generator is loaded and counts down. If
the SCLx pin is sampled low while SDAx is high, a bus
collision occurs because it is assumed that another
master is attempting to drive a data ‘1’ during the Start
condition.
FIGURE 24-33:
The reason that bus collision is not a factor during a Start condition is that no two
bus masters can assert a Start condition
at the exact same time. Therefore, one
master will always assert SDAx before the
other. This condition does not cause a bus
collision because the two masters must be
allowed to arbitrate the first address following the Start condition. If the address is
the same, arbitration must be allowed to
continue into the data portion, Repeated
Start or Stop conditions.

24.6.13.2
Bus Collision During a Repeated
Start Condition
If SDAx is low, a bus collision has occurred (i.e., another
master is attempting to transmit a data ‘0’, Figure 24-35).
If SDAx is sampled high, the BRG is reloaded and
begins counting. If SDAx goes from high-to-low before
the BRG times out, no bus collision occurs because no
two masters can assert SDAx at exactly the same time.
During a Repeated Start condition, a bus collision
occurs if:
a)
b)
A low level is sampled on SDAx when SCLx
goes from low level to high level.
SCLx goes low before SDAx is asserted low,
indicating that another master is attempting to
transmit a data ‘1’.
If SCLx goes from high-to-low before the BRG times
out and SDAx has not already been asserted, a bus
collision occurs. In this case, another master is
attempting to transmit a data ‘1’ during the Repeated
Start condition, see Figure 24-36.
When the user releases SDAx and the pin is allowed to
float high, the BRG is loaded with SSPxADD and
counts down to zero. The SCLx pin is then deasserted
and when sampled high, the SDAx pin is sampled.
FIGURE 24-36:
If, at the end of the BRG time-out, both SCLx and SDAx
are still high, the SDAx pin is driven low and the BRG
is reloaded and begins counting. At the end of the
count, regardless of the status of the SCLx pin, the
SCLx pin is driven low and the Repeated Start
condition is complete.

Bus Collision During a Stop
Condition
The Stop condition begins with SDAx asserted low.
When SDAx is sampled low, the SCLx pin is allowed to
float. When the pin is sampled high (clock arbitration),
the Baud Rate Generator is loaded with SSPxADD and
counts down to 0. After the BRG times out, SDAx is
sampled. If SDAx is sampled low, a bus collision has
occurred. This is due to another master attempting to
drive a data ‘0’ (Figure 24-37). If the SCLx pin is
sampled low before SDAx is allowed to float high, a bus
collision occurs. This is another case of another master
attempting to drive a data ‘0’ (Figure 24-38).
Bus collision occurs during a Stop condition if:
a)
b)
After the SDAx pin has been deasserted and
allowed to float high, SDAx is sampled low after
the BRG has timed out.
After the SCLx pin is deasserted, SCLx is
sampled low before SDAx goes high.

BAUD RATE GENERATOR
The MSSPx module has a Baud Rate Generator available for clock generation in both I2C and SPI Master
modes. The Baud Rate Generator (BRG) reload value
is placed in the SSPxADD register (Register 24-6).
When a write occurs to SSPxBUF, the Baud Rate Generator will automatically begin counting down.
Once the given operation is complete, the internal clock
will automatically stop counting and the clock pin will
remain in its last state.
module clock line. The logic dictating when the reload
signal is asserted depends on the mode the MSSPx is
being operated in.
Table 24-4 demonstrates clock rates based on
instruction cycles and the BRG value loaded into
SSPxADD.
EQUATION 24-1:
FOSC
FCLOCK = ------------------------------------------------ SSPxADD + 1   4 
An internal signal “Reload” in Figure 24-39 triggers the
value from SSPxADD to be loaded into the BRG
counter. This occurs twice for each oscillation of the

ENHANCED UNIVERSAL
SYNCHRONOUS
ASYNCHRONOUS RECEIVER
TRANSMITTER (EUSART)
These devices typically do not have internal clocks for
baud rate generation and require the external clock
signal provided by a master synchronous device.
The EUSART module includes the following capabilities:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Full-duplex asynchronous transmit and receive
Two-character input buffer
One-character output buffer
Programmable 8-bit or 9-bit character length

Half-duplex synchronous master
Half-duplex synchronous slave
Programmable clock polarity in synchronous
modes
• Sleep operation
The PIC16(L)F1946/47 devices have two
EUSARTs. Therefore, all information in
this section refers to both EUSART 1 and
EUSART 2.
The Enhanced Universal Synchronous Asynchronous
Receiver Transmitter (EUSART) module is a serial I/O
communications peripheral. It contains all the clock
generators, shift registers and data buffers necessary
to perform an input or output serial data transfer
independent of device program execution. The
EUSART, also known as a Serial Communications
Interface (SCI), can be configured as a full-duplex
asynchronous system or half-duplex synchronous
system.
Full-Duplex
mode
is
useful
for
communications with peripheral systems, such as CRT
terminals and personal computers. Half-Duplex
Synchronous mode is intended for communications
with peripheral devices, such as A/D or D/A integrated
circuits, serial EEPROMs or other microcontrollers.
FIGURE 25-1:
The EUSART module implements the following
additional features, making it ideally suited for use in
Local Interconnect Network (LIN) bus systems:
• Automatic detection and calibration of the baud rate
• Wake-up on Break reception
• 13-bit Break character transmit
Block diagrams of the EUSART transmitter and
receiver are shown in Figure 25-1 and Figure 25-2.

The operation of the EUSART module is controlled
through three registers:
• Transmit Status and Control (TXxSTA)
• Receive Status and Control (RCxSTA)
• Baud Rate Control (BAUDxCON)
These registers are detailed in Register 25-1,
Register 25-2 and Register 25-3, respectively.
For all modes of EUSART operation, the TRIS control
bits corresponding to the RXx/DTx and TXx/CKx pins
should be set to ‘1’. The EUSART control will
automatically reconfigure the pin from input to output, as
needed.
When the receiver or transmitter section is not enabled
then the corresponding RXx/DTx or TXx/CKx pin may be
used for general purpose input and output.

25.1
EUSART Asynchronous Mode
The EUSART transmits and receives data using the
standard non-return-to-zero (NRZ) format. NRZ is
implemented with two levels: a VOH mark state which
represents a ‘1’ data bit, and a VOL space state which
represents a ‘0’ data bit. NRZ refers to the fact that
consecutively transmitted data bits of the same value
stay at the output level of that bit without returning to a
neutral level between each bit transmission. An NRZ
transmission port idles in the mark state. Each character
transmission consists of one Start bit followed by eight
or nine data bits and is always terminated by one or
more Stop bits. The Start bit is always a space and the
Stop bits are always marks. The most common data
format is 8 bits. Each transmitted bit persists for a period
of 1/(Baud Rate). An on-chip dedicated 8-bit/16-bit Baud
Rate Generator is used to derive standard baud rate
frequencies from the system oscillator. See Table 25-5
for examples of baud rate configurations.
The EUSART transmits and receives the LSb first. The
EUSART’s transmitter and receiver are functionally
independent, but share the same data format and baud
rate. Parity is not supported by the hardware, but can
be implemented in software and stored as the ninth
data bit.
25.1.1
EUSART ASYNCHRONOUS
TRANSMITTER
The EUSART transmitter block diagram is shown in
Figure 25-1. The heart of the transmitter is the serial
Transmit Shift Register (TSR), which is not directly
accessible by software. The TSR obtains its data from
the transmit buffer, which is the TXxREG register.
25.1.1.1
Enabling the Transmitter
The EUSART transmitter is enabled for asynchronous
operations by configuring the following three control
bits:
• TXEN = 1
• SYNC = 0
• SPEN = 1
All other EUSART control bits are assumed to be in
their default state.
Setting the TXEN bit of the TXxSTA register enables the
transmitter circuitry of the EUSART. Clearing the SYNC
bit of the TXxSTA register configures the EUSART for
asynchronous operation. Setting the SPEN bit of the
RCxSTA register enables the EUSART. The programmer must set the corresponding TRIS bit to configure the
TXx/CKx I/O pin as an output. If the TXx/CKx pin is
shared with an analog peripheral, the analog I/O function
must be disabled by clearing the corresponding ANSEL
bit.
Note:
25.1.1.2
Transmitting Data
A transmission is initiated by writing a character to the
TXxREG register. If this is the first character, or the
previous character has been completely flushed from
the TSR, the data in the TXxREG is immediately
transferred to the TSR register. If the TSR still contains
all or part of a previous character, the new character
data is held in the TXxREG until the Stop bit of the
previous character has been transmitted. The pending
character in the TXxREG is then transferred to the TSR
in one TCY immediately following the Stop bit
transmission. The transmission of the Start bit, data bits
and Stop bit sequence commences immediately
following the transfer of the data to the TSR from the
TXxREG.
25.1.1.3
Transmit Data Polarity
The polarity of the transmit data can be controlled with
the CKTXP bit of the BAUDxCON register. The default
state of this bit is ‘0’ which selects high true transmit
idle and data bits. Setting the CKTXP bit to ‘1’ will invert
the transmit data resulting in low true idle and data bits.
The CKTXP bit controls transmit data polarity only in
Asynchronous mode. In Synchronous mode the
CKTXP bit has a different function. See
Section 25.5.1.2 “Clock Polarity”.
25.1.1.4
Transmit Interrupt Flag
The TXxIF interrupt flag bit of the PIR1/PIR3 register is
set whenever the EUSART transmitter is enabled and
no character is being held for transmission in the
TXxREG. In other words, the TXxIF bit is only clear
when the TSR is busy with a character and a new
character has been queued for transmission in the
TXxREG. The TXxIF flag bit is not cleared immediately
upon writing TXxREG. TXxIF becomes valid in the
second instruction cycle following the write execution.
Polling TXxIF immediately following the TXxREG write
will return invalid results. The TXxIF bit is read-only, it
cannot be set or cleared by software.
The TXxIF interrupt can be enabled by setting the
TXxIE interrupt enable bit of the PIE1/PIE4 register.
However, the TXxIF flag bit will be set whenever the
TXxREG is empty, regardless of the state of TXxIE
enable bit.
To use interrupts when transmitting data, set the TXxIE
bit only when there is more data to send. Clear the
TXxIE interrupt enable bit upon writing the last
character of the transmission to the TXxREG.
The TXxIF transmitter interrupt flag is set
when the TXEN enable bit is set.

PIC16(L)F1946/47
25.1.1.5
TSR Status
25.1.1.7
The TRMT bit of the TXxSTA register indicates the
status of the TSR register. This is a read-only bit. The
TRMT bit is set when the TSR register is empty and is
cleared when a character is transferred to the TSR
register from the TXxREG. The TRMT bit remains clear
until all bits have been shifted out of the TSR register.
No interrupt logic is tied to this bit, so the user needs to
poll this bit to determine the TSR status.
Note:
25.1.1.6
The TSR register is not mapped in data
memory, so it is not available to the user.

4.
Transmitting 9-Bit Characters
The EUSART supports 9-bit character transmissions.
When the TX9 bit of the TXxSTA register is set the
EUSART will shift 9 bits out for each character transmitted. The TX9D bit of the TXxSTA register is the ninth,
and Most Significant, data bit. When transmitting 9-bit
data, the TX9D data bit must be written before writing
the 8 Least Significant bits into the TXxREG. All nine
bits of data will be transferred to the TSR shift register
immediately after the TXxREG is written.
5.
A special 9-bit Address mode is available for use with
multiple receivers. See Section 25.1.2.8 “Address
Detection” for more information on the Address mode.

and the BRGH and BRG16 bits to achieve the
desired baud rate (see Section 25.4 “EUSART
Baud Rate Generator (BRG)”).
Set the RXx/DTx and TXx/CKx TRIS controls to
‘1’.
Enable the asynchronous serial port by clearing
the SYNC bit and setting the SPEN bit.
If 9-bit transmission is desired, set the TX9
control bit. A set ninth data bit will indicate that
the 8 Least Significant data bits are an address
when the receiver is set for address detection.
Set the CKTXP control bit if inverted transmit
data polarity is desired.
Enable the transmission by setting the TXEN
control bit. This will cause the TXxIF interrupt bit
to be set.
If interrupts are desired, set the TXxIE interrupt
enable bit. An interrupt will occur immediately
provided that the GIE and PEIE bits of the
INTCON register are also set.
If 9-bit transmission is selected, the ninth bit
should be loaded into the TX9D data bit.
Load 8-bit data into the TXxREG register. This
will start the transmission.

25.1.2
EUSART ASYNCHRONOUS
RECEIVER
The Asynchronous mode would typically be used in
RS-232 systems. The receiver block diagram is shown
in Figure 25-2. The data is received on the RXx/DTx
pin and drives the data recovery block. The data
recovery block is actually a high-speed shifter
operating at 16 times the baud rate, whereas the serial
Receive Shift Register (RSR) operates at the bit rate.
When all 8 or 9 bits of the character have been shifted
in, they are immediately transferred to a two character
First-In-First-Out (FIFO) memory. The FIFO buffering
allows reception of two complete characters and the
start of a third character before software must start
servicing the EUSART receiver. The FIFO and RSR
registers are not directly accessible by software.
Access to the received data is via the RCxREG
register.
25.1.2.1
Enabling the Receiver
The EUSART receiver is enabled for asynchronous
operation by configuring the following three control bits:
• CREN = 1
• SYNC = 0
• SPEN = 1
All other EUSART control bits are assumed to be in
their default state.
Setting the CREN bit of the RCxSTA register enables
the receiver circuitry of the EUSART. Clearing the SYNC
bit of the TXxSTA register configures the EUSART for
asynchronous operation. Setting the SPEN bit of the
RCxSTA register enables the EUSART. The
programmer must set the corresponding TRIS bit to
configure the RXx/DTx I/O pin as an input.
Note 1: If the RX/DT function is on an analog pin,
the corresponding ANSEL bit must be
cleared for the receiver to function.
If the RXx/DTx pin is shared with an analog peripheral
the analog I/O function must be disabled by clearing the
corresponding ANSEL bit.
DS41414D-page 302
25.1.2.2
Receiving Data
The receiver data recovery circuit initiates character
reception on the falling edge of the first bit. The first bit,
also known as the Start bit, is always a zero. The data
recovery circuit counts one-half bit time to the center of
the Start bit and verifies that the bit is still a zero. If it is
not a zero then the data recovery circuit aborts
character reception, without generating an error, and
resumes looking for the falling edge of the Start bit. If
the Start bit zero verification succeeds then the data
recovery circuit counts a full bit time to the center of the
next bit. The bit is then sampled by a majority detect
circuit and the resulting ‘0’ or ‘1’ is shifted into the RSR.
This repeats until all data bits have been sampled and
shifted into the RSR. One final bit time is measured and
the level sampled. This is the Stop bit, which is always
a ‘1’. If the data recovery circuit samples a ‘0’ in the
Stop bit position then a framing error is set for this
character, otherwise the framing error is cleared for this
character. See Section 25.1.2.5 “Receive Framing
Error” for more information on framing errors.
Immediately after all data bits and the Stop bit have
been received, the character in the RSR is transferred
to the EUSART receive FIFO and the RCxIF interrupt
flag bit of the PIR1/PIR3 register is set. The top character in the FIFO is transferred out of the FIFO by reading
the RCxREG register.
Note:
25.1.2.3
If the receive FIFO is overrun, no additional
characters will be received until the overrun
condition is cleared. See Section 25.1.2.6
“Receive Overrun Error” for more
information on overrun errors.
Receive Data Polarity
The polarity of the receive data can be controlled with
the DTRXP bit of the BAUDxCON register. The default
state of this bit is ‘0’ which selects high true receive idle
and data bits. Setting the DTRXP bit to ‘1’ will invert the
receive data resulting in low true idle and data bits. The
DTRXP bit controls receive data polarity only in
Asynchronous mode. In synchronous mode the
DTRXP bit has a different function.
 2010-2012 Microchip Technology Inc.
PIC16(L)F1946/47
25.1.2.4
Receive Interrupts
The RCxIF interrupt flag bit of the PIR1/PIR3 register is
set whenever the EUSART receiver is enabled and
there is an unread character in the receive FIFO. The
RCxIF interrupt flag bit is read-only, it cannot be set or
cleared by software.
RCxIF interrupts are enabled by setting the following
bits:
• RCxIE interrupt enable bit of the PIE1/PIE4
register
• PEIE peripheral interrupt enable bit of the INTCON
register
• GIE global interrupt enable bit of the INTCON
register
The RCxIF interrupt flag bit will be set when there is an
unread character in the FIFO, regardless of the state of
interrupt enable bits.
25.1.2.5
Receive Framing Error
Each character in the receive FIFO buffer has a
corresponding framing error Status bit. A framing error
indicates that a Stop bit was not seen at the expected
time. The framing error status is accessed via the
FERR bit of the RCxSTA register. The FERR bit
represents the status of the top unread character in the
receive FIFO. Therefore, the FERR bit must be read
before reading the RCxREG.
The FERR bit is read-only and only applies to the top
unread character in the receive FIFO. A framing error
(FERR = 1) does not preclude reception of additional
characters. It is not necessary to clear the FERR bit.
Reading the next character from the FIFO buffer will
advance the FIFO to the next character and the next
corresponding framing error.
25.1.2.7
Receiving 9-bit Characters
The EUSART supports 9-bit character reception. When
the RX9 bit of the RCxSTA register is set, the EUSART
will shift 9 bits into the RSR for each character
received. The RX9D bit of the RCxSTA register is the
ninth and Most Significant data bit of the top unread
character in the receive FIFO. When reading 9-bit data
from the receive FIFO buffer, the RX9D data bit must
be read before reading the 8 Least Significant bits from
the RCxREG.
25.1.2.8
Address Detection
A special Address Detection mode is available for use
when multiple receivers share the same transmission
line, such as in RS-485 systems. Address detection is
enabled by setting the ADDEN bit of the RCxSTA
register.
Address detection requires 9-bit character reception.
When address detection is enabled, only characters
with the ninth data bit set will be transferred to the
receive FIFO buffer, thereby setting the RCxIF interrupt
bit. All other characters will be ignored.
Upon receiving an address character, user software
determines if the address matches its own. Upon
address match, user software must disable address
detection by clearing the ADDEN bit before the next
Stop bit occurs. When user software detects the end of
the message, determined by the message protocol
used, software places the receiver back into the
Address Detection mode by setting the ADDEN bit.
The FERR bit can be forced clear by clearing the SPEN
bit of the RCxSTA register which resets the EUSART.
Clearing the CREN bit of the RCxSTA register does not
affect the FERR bit. A framing error by itself does not
generate an interrupt.
Note:
25.1.2.6
If all receive characters in the receive
FIFO have framing errors, repeated reads
of the RCxREG will not clear the FERR
bit.
Receive Overrun Error
The receive FIFO buffer can hold two characters. An
overrun error will be generated If a third character, in its
entirety, is received before the FIFO is accessed. When
this happens the OERR bit of the RCxSTA register is
set. The characters already in the FIFO buffer can be
read but no additional characters will be received until
the error is cleared. The error must be cleared by either
clearing the CREN bit of the RCxSTA register or by
resetting the EUSART by clearing the SPEN bit of the
RCxSTA register.

25.2
Clock Accuracy with
Asynchronous Operation
The factory calibrates the internal oscillator block
output (HFINTOSC). However, the HFINTOSC
frequency may drift as VDD or temperature changes,
and this directly affects the asynchronous baud rate.
Two methods may be used to adjust the baud rate
clock, but both require a reference clock source of
some kind.
The first (preferred) method uses the OSCTUNE
register to adjust the HFINTOSC output. Adjusting the
value in the OSCTUNE register allows for fine resolution
changes to the system clock source. See Section 5.2
“Clock Source Types” for more information.
The other method adjusts the value in the Baud Rate
Generator. This can be done automatically with the
Auto-Baud Detect feature (see Section 25.4.1
“Auto-Baud Detect”). There may not be fine enough
resolution when adjusting the Baud Rate Generator to
compensate for a gradual change in the peripheral
clock frequency.

EUSART Baud Rate Generator
(BRG)
The Baud Rate Generator (BRG) is an 8-bit or 16-bit
timer that is dedicated to the support of both the
asynchronous and synchronous EUSART operation.
By default, the BRG operates in 8-bit mode. Setting the
BRG16 bit of the BAUDxCON register selects 16-bit
mode.
The SPxBRGH:SPxBRGL register pair determines the
period of the free running baud rate timer. In
Asynchronous mode the multiplier of the baud rate
period is determined by both the BRGH bit of the
TXxSTA register and the BRG16 bit of the BAUDxCON
register. In Synchronous mode, the BRGH bit is ignored.
If the system clock is changed during an active receive
operation, a receive error or data loss may result. To
avoid this problem, check the status of the RCIDL bit to
make sure that the receive operation is Idle before
changing the system clock.
EXAMPLE 25-1:
For a device with FOSC of 16 MHz, desired baud rate
of 9600, Asynchronous mode, 8-bit BRG:
F OS C
Desired Baud Rate = -------------------------------------------------------------------------64  [SPxBRGH:SPxBRG] + 1 
Solving for SPxBRGH:SPxBRGL:
F OS C
--------------------------------------------Desired Baud Rate
SPxBRGH: SPxBRGL = --------------------------------------------- – 1
64
Example 25-1 provides a sample calculation for determining the desired baud rate, actual baud rate, and
baud rate % error.
Typical baud rates and error values for various
asynchronous modes have been computed for your
convenience and are shown in Table 25-5. It may be
advantageous to use the high baud rate (BRGH = 1),
or the 16-bit BRG (BRG16 = 1) to reduce the baud rate
error. The 16-bit BRG mode is used to achieve slow
baud rates for fast oscillator frequencies.
Writing a new value to the SPxBRGH, SPxBRGL
register pair causes the BRG timer to be reset (or
cleared). This ensures that the BRG does not wait for a
timer overflow before outputting the new baud rate.

25.4.1
AUTO-BAUD DETECT
The EUSART module supports automatic detection
and calibration of the baud rate.
In the Auto-Baud Detect (ABD) mode, the clock to the
BRG is reversed. Rather than the BRG clocking the
incoming RXx signal, the RXx signal is timing the BRG.
The Baud Rate Generator is used to time the period of
a received 55h (ASCII “U”) which is the Sync character
for the LIN bus. The unique feature of this character is
that it has five rising edges including the Stop bit edge.
Setting the ABDEN bit of the BAUDxCON register
starts
the
auto-baud
calibration
sequence
(Figure 25.4.2). While the ABD sequence takes place,
the EUSART state machine is held in Idle. On the first
rising edge of the receive line, after the Start bit, the
SPxBRGL begins counting up using the BRG counter
clock as shown in Table 25-6. The fifth rising edge will
occur on the RXx/DTx pin at the end of the eighth bit
period. At that time, an accumulated value totaling the
proper BRG period is left in the SPxBRGH:SPxBRGL
register pair, the ABDEN bit is automatically cleared,
and the RCxIF interrupt flag is set. A read operation on
the RCxREG needs to be performed to clear the RCxIF
interrupt. RCxREG content should be discarded. When
calibrating for modes that do not use the SPxBRGH
register the user can verify that the SPxBRGL register
did not overflow by checking for 00h in the SPxBRGH
register.
The BRG auto-baud clock is determined by the BRG16
and BRGH bits as shown in Table 25-6. During ABD,
both the SPxBRGH and SPxBRGL registers are used
as a 16-bit counter, independent of the BRG16 bit setting. While calibrating the baud rate period, the
SPxBRGH and SPxBRGL registers are clocked at
FIGURE 25-6:
Note 1: If the WUE bit is set with the ABDEN bit,
auto-baud detection will occur on the byte
following the Break character (see
Section 25.4.3 “Auto-Wake-up on
Break”).
2: It is up to the user to determine that the
incoming character baud rate is within the
range of the selected BRG clock source.
Some combinations of oscillator frequency
and EUSART baud rates are not possible.
3: During the auto-baud process, the
auto-baud counter starts counting at 1.
Upon completion of the auto-baud
sequence, to achieve maximum accuracy, subtract 1 from the SPxBRGH:SPxBRGL register pair.

AUTO-BAUD OVERFLOW
During the course of automatic baud detection, the
ABDOVF bit of the BAUDxCON register will be set if the
baud rate counter overflows before the fifth rising edge
is detected on the RX pin. The ABDOVF bit indicates
that the counter has exceeded the maximum count that
can fit in the 16 bits of the SPxBRGH:SPxBRGL
register pair. After the ABDOVF bit has been set, the
counter continues to count until the fifth rising edge is
detected on the RXx/DTx pin. Upon detecting the fifth
RXx/DTx edge, the hardware will set the RCxIF interrupt flag and clear the ABDEN bit of the BAUDxCON
register. The RCxIF flag can be subsequently cleared
by reading the RCxREG. The ABDOVF flag can be
cleared by software directly.
To terminate the auto-baud process before the RCxIF
flag is set, clear the ABDEN bit then clear the ABDOVF
bit. The ABDOVF bit will remain set if the ABDEN bit is
not cleared first.
25.4.3
AUTO-WAKE-UP ON BREAK
During Sleep mode, all clocks to the EUSART are
suspended. Because of this, the Baud Rate Generator
is inactive and a proper character reception cannot be
performed. The Auto-Wake-up feature allows the
controller to wake-up due to activity on the RXx/DTx
line. This feature is available only in Asynchronous
mode.
The Auto-Wake-up feature is enabled by setting the
WUE bit of the BAUDxCON register. Once set, the
normal receive sequence on RXx/DTx is disabled, and
the EUSART remains in an Idle state, monitoring for a
wake-up event independent of the CPU mode. A
wake-up event consists of a high-to-low transition on the
RXx/DTx line. (This coincides with the start of a Sync
Break or a wake-up signal character for the LIN
protocol.)
The EUSART module generates an RCxIF interrupt
coincident with the wake-up event. The interrupt is
generated synchronously to the Q clocks in normal CPU
operating modes (Figure 25-7), and asynchronously if
the device is in Sleep mode (Figure 25-8). The interrupt
condition is cleared by reading the RCxREG register.
25.4.3.1
Special Considerations
Break Character
To avoid character errors or character fragments during
a wake-up event, the wake-up character must be all
zeros.
When the wake-up is enabled the function works
independent of the low time on the data stream. If the
WUE bit is set and a valid non-zero character is
received, the low time from the Start bit to the first rising
edge will be interpreted as the wake-up event. The
remaining bits in the character will be received as a
fragmented character and subsequent characters can
result in framing or overrun errors.
Therefore, the initial character in the transmission must
be all ‘0’s. This must be 10 or more bit times, 13-bit
times recommended for LIN bus, or any number of bit
times for standard RS-232 devices.
Oscillator Startup Time
Oscillator start-up time must be considered, especially
in applications using oscillators with longer start-up
intervals (i.e., LP, XT or HS/PLL mode). The Sync
Break (or wake-up signal) character must be of
sufficient length, and be followed by a sufficient
interval, to allow enough time for the selected oscillator
to start and provide proper initialization of the EUSART.
WUE Bit
The wake-up event causes a receive interrupt by
setting the RCxIF bit. The WUE bit is cleared by
hardware by a rising edge on RXx/DTx. The interrupt
condition is then cleared by software by reading the
RCxREG register and discarding its contents.
To ensure that no actual data is lost, check the RCIDL
bit to verify that a receive operation is not in process
before setting the WUE bit. If a receive operation is not
occurring, the WUE bit may then be set just prior to
entering the Sleep mode.
The WUE bit is automatically cleared by the low-to-high
transition on the RXx line at the end of the Break. This
signals to the user that the Break event is over. At this
point, the EUSART module is in Idle mode waiting to
receive the next character.

25.4.4
BREAK CHARACTER SEQUENCE
The EUSART module has the capability of sending the
special Break character sequences that are required by
the LIN bus standard. A Break character consists of a
Start bit, followed by 12 ‘0’ bits and a Stop bit.
To send a Break character, set the SENDB and TXEN
bits of the TXxSTA register. The Break character transmission is then initiated by a write to the TXxREG. The
value of data written to TXxREG will be ignored and all
‘0’s will be transmitted.
The SENDB bit is automatically reset by hardware after
the corresponding Stop bit is sent. This allows the user
to preload the transmit FIFO with the next transmit byte
following the Break character (typically, the Sync
character in the LIN specification).
The TRMT bit of the TXxSTA register indicates when the
transmit operation is active or Idle, just as it does during
normal transmission. See Figure 25-9 for the timing of
the Break character sequence.
25.4.4.1
Break and Sync Transmit Sequence
The following sequence will start a message frame
header made up of a Break, followed by an auto-baud
Sync byte. This sequence is typical of a LIN bus
master.

Configure the EUSART for the desired mode.
Set the TXEN and SENDB bits to enable the
Break sequence.
Load the TXxREG with a dummy character to
initiate transmission (the value is ignored).
Write ‘55h’ to TXxREG to load the Sync character into the transmit FIFO buffer.
After the Break has been sent, the SENDB bit is
reset by hardware and the Sync character is
then transmitted.
FIGURE 25-9:
Write to TXxREG
When the TXxREG becomes empty, as indicated by
the TXxIF, the next data byte can be written to TXxREG.
25.4.5
RECEIVING A BREAK CHARACTER
The Enhanced EUSART module can receive a Break
character in two ways.
The first method to detect a Break character uses the
FERR bit of the RCxSTA register and the Received
data as indicated by RCxREG. The Baud Rate
Generator is assumed to have been initialized to the
expected baud rate.
A Break character has been received when;
• RCxIF bit is set
• FERR bit is set
• RCxREG = 00h
The second method uses the Auto-Wake-up feature
described in Section 25.4.3 “Auto-Wake-up on
Break”. By enabling this feature, the EUSART will
sample the next two transitions on RXx/DTx, cause an
RCxIF interrupt, and receive the next data byte
followed by another interrupt.
Note that following a Break character, the user will
typically want to enable the Auto-Baud Detect feature.
For both methods, the user can set the ABDEN bit of
the BAUDxCON register before placing the EUSART in
Sleep mode.

25.5
EUSART Synchronous Mode
Synchronous serial communications are typically used
in systems with a single master and one or more
slaves. The master device contains the necessary
circuitry for baud rate generation and supplies the clock
for all devices in the system. Slave devices can take
advantage of the master clock by eliminating the
internal clock generation circuitry.
There are two signal lines in Synchronous mode: a
bidirectional data line and a clock line. Slaves use the
external clock supplied by the master to shift the serial
data into and out of their respective receive and
transmit shift registers. Since the data line is
bidirectional, synchronous operation is half-duplex
only. Half-duplex refers to the fact that master and
slave devices can receive and transmit data but not
both simultaneously. The EUSART can operate as
either a master or slave device.
Start and Stop bits are not used in synchronous
transmissions.
25.5.1
SYNCHRONOUS MASTER MODE
The following bits are used to configure the EUSART
for Synchronous Master operation:
•
•
•
•
•
SYNC = 1
CSRC = 1
SREN = 0 (for transmit); SREN = 1 (for receive)
CREN = 0 (for transmit); CREN = 1 (for receive)
SPEN = 1
Setting the SYNC bit of the TXxSTA register configures
the device for synchronous operation. Setting the CSRC
bit of the TXxSTA register configures the device as a
master. Clearing the SREN and CREN bits of the
RCxSTA register ensures that the device is in the
Transmit mode, otherwise the device will be configured
to receive. Setting the SPEN bit of the RCxSTA register
enables the EUSART. If the RXx/DTx or TXx/CKx pins
are shared with an analog peripheral the analog I/O
functions must be disabled by clearing the corresponding
ANSEL bits.
25.5.1.2
Clock Polarity
A clock polarity option is provided for Microwire
compatibility. Clock polarity is selected with the CKTXP
bit of the BAUDxCON register. Setting the CKTXP bit
sets the clock Idle state as high. When the CKTXP bit
is set, the data changes on the falling edge of each
clock and is sampled on the rising edge of each clock.
Clearing the CKTXP bit sets the Idle state as low. When
the CKTXP bit is cleared, the data changes on the
rising edge of each clock and is sampled on the falling
edge of each clock.
25.5.1.3
Synchronous Master Transmission
Data is transferred out of the device on the RXx/DTx
pin. The RXx/DTx and TXx/CKx pin output drivers are
automatically enabled when the EUSART is configured
for synchronous master transmit operation.
A transmission is initiated by writing a character to the
TXxREG register. If the TSR still contains all or part of
a previous character the new character data is held in
the TXxREG until the last bit of the previous character
has been transmitted. If this is the first character, or the
previous character has been completely flushed from
the TSR, the data in the TXxREG is immediately transferred to the TSR. The transmission of the character
commences immediately following the transfer of the
data to the TSR from the TXxREG.
Each data bit changes on the leading edge of the
master clock and remains valid until the subsequent
leading clock edge.
Note:
25.5.1.4
The TSR register is not mapped in data
memory, so it is not available to the user.
Data Polarity
The polarity of the transmit and receive data can be
controlled with the DTRXP bit of the BAUDxCON
register. The default state of this bit is ‘0’ which selects
high true transmit and receive data. Setting the DTRXP
bit to ‘1’ will invert the data resulting in low true transmit
and receive data.
The TRIS bits corresponding to the RXx/DTx and
TXx/CKx pins should be set.
25.5.1.1
Master Clock
Synchronous data transfers use a separate clock line,
which is synchronous with the data. A device configured
as a master transmits the clock on the TXx/CKx line. The
TXx/CKx pin output driver is automatically enabled when
the EUSART is configured for synchronous transmit or
receive operation. Serial data bits change on the leading
edge to ensure they are valid at the trailing edge of each
clock. One clock cycle is generated for each data bit.
Only as many clock cycles are generated as there are
data bits.

25.5.1.6
Synchronous Master Reception
Data is received at the RXx/DTx pin. The RXx/DTx pin
output driver must be disabled by setting the
corresponding TRIS bits when the EUSART is
configured for synchronous master receive operation.
In Synchronous mode, reception is enabled by setting
either the Single Receive Enable bit (SREN of the
RCxSTA register) or the Continuous Receive Enable
bit (CREN of the RCxSTA register).
When SREN is set and CREN is clear, only as many
clock cycles are generated as there are data bits in a
single character. The SREN bit is automatically cleared
at the completion of one character. When CREN is set,
clocks are continuously generated until CREN is
cleared. If CREN is cleared in the middle of a character
the CK clock stops immediately and the partial character is discarded. If SREN and CREN are both set, then
SREN is cleared at the completion of the first character
and CREN takes precedence.
To initiate reception, set either SREN or CREN. Data is
sampled at the RXx/DTx pin on the trailing edge of the
TXx/CKx clock pin and is shifted into the Receive Shift
Register (RSR). When a complete character is
received into the RSR, the RCxIF bit is set and the
character is automatically transferred to the two
character receive FIFO. The Least Significant eight bits
of the top character in the receive FIFO are available in
RCxREG. The RCxIF bit remains set as long as there
are un-read characters in the receive FIFO.
25.5.1.7
Slave Clock
Synchronous data transfers use a separate clock line,
which is synchronous with the data. A device configured
as a slave receives the clock on the TXx/CKx line. The
TXx/CKx pin output driver must be disabled by setting
the associated TRIS bit when the device is configured
for synchronous slave transmit or receive operation.
Serial data bits change on the leading edge to ensure
they are valid at the trailing edge of each clock. One data
bit is transferred for each clock cycle. Only as many
clock cycles should be received as there are data bits.
25.5.1.8
Receive Overrun Error
The receive FIFO buffer can hold two characters. An
overrun error will be generated if a third character, in its
entirety, is received before RCxREG is read to access
the FIFO. When this happens the OERR bit of the
RCxSTA register is set. Previous data in the FIFO will
not be overwritten. The two characters in the FIFO
buffer can be read, however, no additional characters
will be received until the error is cleared. The OERR bit
can only be cleared by clearing the overrun condition.
If the overrun error occurred when the SREN bit is set
and CREN is clear then the error is cleared by reading
RCxREG.
 2010-2012 Microchip Technology Inc.
If the overrun occurred when the CREN bit is set then
the error condition is cleared by either clearing the
CREN bit of the RCxSTA register or by clearing the
SPEN bit which resets the EUSART.
25.5.1.9
Receiving 9-bit Characters
The EUSART supports 9-bit character reception. When
the RX9 bit of the RCxSTA register is set the EUSART
will shift 9-bits into the RSR for each character
received. The RX9D bit of the RCxSTA register is the
ninth, and Most Significant, data bit of the top unread
character in the receive FIFO. When reading 9-bit data
from the receive FIFO buffer, the RX9D data bit must
be read before reading the 8 Least Significant bits from
the RCxREG.
25.5.1.10
Synchronous Master Reception
Set-up:
1.
Initialize the SPxBRGH, SPxBRGL register pair
for the appropriate baud rate. Set or clear the
BRGH and BRG16 bits, as required, to achieve
the desired baud rate.
2. Set the RXx/DTx and TXx/CKx TRIS controls to
‘1’.
3. Enable the synchronous master serial port by
setting bits SYNC, SPEN and CSRC. Disable
RXx/DTx and TXx/CKx output drivers by setting
the corresponding TRIS bits.
4. Ensure bits CREN and SREN are clear.
5. If using interrupts, set the GIE and PEIE bits of
the INTCON register and set RCxIE.
6. If 9-bit reception is desired, set bit RX9.
7. Start reception by setting the SREN bit or for
continuous reception, set the CREN bit.
8. Interrupt flag bit RCxIF will be set when reception of a character is complete. An interrupt will
be generated if the enable bit RCxIE was set.
9. Read the RCxSTA register to get the ninth bit (if
enabled) and determine if any error occurred
during reception.
10. Read the 8-bit received data by reading the
RCxREG register.
11. If an overrun error occurs, clear the error by
either clearing the CREN bit of the RCxSTA
register or by clearing the SPEN bit which resets
the EUSART.

SYNCHRONOUS SLAVE MODE
The following bits are used to configure the EUSART
for Synchronous slave operation:
•
•
•
•
•
SYNC = 1
CSRC = 0
SREN = 0 (for transmit); SREN = 1 (for receive)
CREN = 0 (for transmit); CREN = 1 (for receive)
SPEN = 1
Setting the SYNC bit of the TXxSTA register configures
the device for synchronous operation. Clearing the
CSRC bit of the TXxSTA register configures the device as
a slave. Clearing the SREN and CREN bits of the
RCxSTA register ensures that the device is in the
Transmit mode, otherwise the device will be configured to
receive. Setting the SPEN bit of the RCxSTA register
enables the EUSART. If the RXx/DTx or TXx/CKx pins
are shared with an analog peripheral the analog I/O
functions must be disabled by clearing the corresponding
ANSEL bits.
If two words are written to the TXxREG and then the
SLEEP instruction is executed, the following will occur:

If the PEIE and TXxIE bits are set, the interrupt
will wake the device from Sleep and execute the

25.5.2.4
The operation of the Synchronous Master and Slave
modes is identical (Section 25.5.1.6 “Synchronous

• Sleep
• CREN bit is always set, therefore the receiver is
never Idle
• SREN bit, which is a “don’t care” in Slave mode
1.
Set the SYNC and SPEN bits and clear the
CSRC bit.
Set the RXx/DTx and TXx/CKx TRIS controls to
‘1’.
If using interrupts, ensure that the GIE and PEIE
bits of the INTCON register are set and set the
RCxIE bit.
If 9-bit reception is desired, set the RX9 bit.
Set the CREN bit to enable reception.
The RCxIF bit will be set when reception is
complete. An interrupt will be generated if the
RCxIE bit was set.
If 9-bit mode is enabled, retrieve the Most
Significant bit from the RX9D bit of the RCxSTA
register.
Retrieve the 8 Least Significant bits from the
receive FIFO by reading the RCxREG register.
If an overrun error occurs, clear the error by
either clearing the CREN bit of the RCxSTA
register or by clearing the SPEN bit which resets
the EUSART.

3.
A character may be received while in Sleep mode by
setting the CREN bit prior to entering Sleep. Once the
word is received, the RSR register will transfer the data
to the RCxREG register. If the RCxIE enable bit is set,
the interrupt generated will wake the device from Sleep
and execute the next instruction. If the GIE bit is also
set, the program will branch to the interrupt vector.

CAPACITIVE SENSING (CPS)
MODULE
The Capacitive Sensing (CPS) module allows for an
interaction with an end user without a mechanical
interface. In a typical application, the CPS module is
attached to a pad on a Printed Circuit Board (PCB),
which is electrically isolated from the end user. When the
end user places their finger over the PCB pad, a
capacitive load is added, causing a frequency shift in the
CPS module. The CPS module requires software and at
least one timer resource to determine the change in
frequency. Key features of this module include:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Analog MUX for monitoring multiple inputs
Capacitive sensing oscillator
Multiple power modes
Multiple current ranges
Multiple voltage reference modes

Analog MUX
26.2.1
VOLTAGE REFERENCE MODES
The CPS module can monitor up to 16 inputs. The
capacitive sensing inputs are defined as CPS<15:0>.
To determine if a frequency change has occurred the
user must:
The capacitive sensing oscillator uses voltage references to provide two voltage thresholds for oscillation.
The upper voltage threshold is referred to as Ref+ and
the lower voltage threshold is referred to as Ref-.
• Select the appropriate CPS pin by setting the
appropriate CPSCH bits of the CPSCON1 register.
• Set the corresponding ANSEL bit.
• Set the corresponding TRIS bit.
• Run the software algorithm.
The user can elect to use fixed voltage references,
which are internal to the capacitive sensing oscillator,
or variable voltage references, which are supplied by
the Fixed Voltage Reference (FVR) module and the
Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) module.
Selection of the CPSx pin while the module is enabled
will cause the capacitive sensing oscillator to be on the
CPSx pin. Failure to set the corresponding ANSEL and
TRIS bits can cause the capacitive sensing oscillator to
stop, leading to false frequency readings.
26.2
Capacitive Sensing Oscillator
The capacitive sensing oscillator consists of a constant
current source and a constant current sink, to produce
a triangle waveform. The CPSOUT bit of the
CPSCON0 register shows the status of the capacitive
sensing oscillator, whether it is a sinking or sourcing
current. The oscillator is designed to drive a capacitive
load (single PCB pad) and at the same time, be a clock
source to either Timer0 or Timer1. The oscillator has
three different current settings as defined by
CPSRNG<1:0> of the CPSCON0 register. The different
current settings for the oscillator serve two purposes:
• Maximize the number of counts in a timer for a
fixed time base.
• Maximize the count differential in the timer during
a change in frequency.
 2010-2012 Microchip Technology Inc.
When the fixed voltage references are used, the VSS
voltage determines the lower threshold level (Ref-) and
the VDD voltage determines the upper threshold level
(Ref+).
When the variable voltage references are used, the
DAC voltage determines the lower threshold level
(Ref-) and the FVR voltage determines the upper
threshold level (Ref+). An advantage of using these reference sources is that oscillation frequency remains
constant with changes in VDD.
Different oscillation frequencies can be obtained
through the use of these variable voltage references.
The more the upper voltage reference level is lowered
and the more the lower voltage reference level is
raised, the higher the capacitive sensing oscillator
frequency becomes.
Selection between the voltage references is controlled
by the CPSRM bit of the CPSCON0 register. Setting
this bit selects the variable voltage references and
clearing this bit selects the fixed voltage references.
Please see Section 14.0 “Fixed Voltage Reference
(FVR)” and Section 17.0 “Digital-to-Analog Converter
(DAC) Module” for more information on configuring the
variable voltage levels.
DS41414D-page 329
PIC16(L)F1946/47
26.2.2
CURRENT RANGES
The remaining mode is a Noise Detection mode that
resides within the high range. The Noise Detection
mode is unique in that it disables the sinking and sourcing of current on the analog pin but leaves the rest of
the oscillator circuitry active. This reduces the oscillation frequency on the analog pin to zero and also
greatly reduces the current consumed by the oscillator
module.
The capacitive sensing oscillator can operate in one of
seven different power modes. The power modes are
separated into two ranges; the low range and the high
range.
When the oscillator’s low range is selected, the fixed
internal voltage references of the capacitive sensing
oscillator are being used. When the oscillator’s high
range is selected, the variable voltage references
supplied by the FVR and DAC modules are being used.
Selection between the voltage references is controlled
by the CPSRM bit of the CPSCON0 register. See
Section 26.2.1 “Voltage Reference Modes” for more
information.
When noise is introduced onto the pin, the oscillator is
driven at the frequency determined by the noise. This
produces a detectable signal at the comparator output,
indicating the presence of activity on the pin.
Figure 26-2 shows a more detailed drawing of the
current sources and comparators associated with the
oscillator.
Within each range there are three distinct Power modes;
low, medium and high. Current consumption is dependent
upon the range and mode selected. Selecting Power
modes within each range is accomplished by configuring
the CPSRNG <1:0> bits in the CPSCON0 register. See
Table 26-1 for proper Power mode selection.

TIMER RESOURCES
FIXED TIME BASE
To measure the frequency of the capacitive sensing
oscillator, a fixed time base is required. Any timer
resource or software loop can be used to establish the
fixed time base. It is up to the end user to determine the
method in which the fixed time base is generated.

See Section 30.0 “Electrical Specifications” for more information.
To measure the change in frequency of the capacitive
sensing oscillator, a fixed time base is required. For the
period of the fixed time base, the capacitive sensing
oscillator is used to clock either Timer0 or Timer1. The
frequency of the capacitive sensing oscillator is equal
to the number of counts in the timer divided by the
period of the fixed time base.

To select Timer0 as the timer resource for the CPS
module:
• Set the T0XCS bit of the CPSCON0 register.
• Clear the TMR0CS bit of the OPTION_REG
register.
When Timer0 is chosen as the timer resource, the
capacitive sensing oscillator will be the clock source for
Timer0. Refer to Section 20.0 “Timer0 Module” for
additional information.
The fixed time base can not be generated
by the timer resource that the capacitive
sensing oscillator is clocking.

26.2.5.2
To select Timer1 as the timer resource for the CPS
module, set the TMR1CS<1:0> of the T1CON register
to ‘11’. When Timer1 is chosen as the timer resource,
the capacitive sensing oscillator will be the clock
source for Timer1. Because the Timer1 module has a
gate control, developing a time base for the frequency
measurement can be simplified by using the Timer0
overflow flag.
It is recommend that the Timer0 overflow flag, in
conjunction with the Toggle mode of the Timer1 Gate, be
used to develop the fixed time base required by the software portion of the CPS module. Refer to Section 21.11
“Register Definitions: Timer1 Control” for additional
information.

SOFTWARE CONTROL
The software portion of the CPS module is required to
determine the change in frequency of the capacitive
sensing oscillator. This is accomplished by the
following:
• Setting a fixed time base to acquire counts on
Timer0 or Timer1.
• Establishing the nominal frequency for the
capacitive sensing oscillator.
• Establishing the reduced frequency for the capacitive sensing oscillator due to an additional capacitive load.
• Set the frequency threshold.
26.2.5.1
Reduced Frequency (additional
capacitive load)
The extra capacitive load will cause the frequency of the
capacitive sensing oscillator to decrease. To determine
the reduced frequency of the capacitive sensing
oscillator:
• Add a typical capacitive load on the selected
CPSx pin.
• Use the same fixed time base as the nominal
frequency measurement.
• At the start of the fixed time base, clear the timer
resource.
• At the end of the fixed time base save the value in
the timer resource.
The value of the timer resource is the number of oscillations of the capacitive sensing oscillator with an additional capacitive load. The frequency of the capacitive
sensing oscillator is equal to the number of counts on
in the timer divided by the period of the fixed time base.
This frequency should be less than the value obtained
during the nominal frequency measurement.
26.2.5.3
Frequency Threshold
The frequency threshold should be placed midway
between the value of nominal frequency and the
reduced frequency of the capacitive sensing oscillator.
Refer to Application Note AN1103, “Software Handling
for Capacitive Sensing” (DS01103) for more detailed
information on the software required for CPS module.
Note:
For more information on general capacitive
sensing refer to Application Notes:
• AN1101, “Introduction to Capacitive
Sensing” (DS01101)
• AN1102, “Layout and Physical
Design Guidelines for Capacitive
Sensing” (DS01102)
Nominal Frequency
(No Capacitive Load)
To determine the nominal frequency of the capacitive
sensing oscillator:
• Remove any extra capacitive load on the selected
CPSx pin.
• At the start of the fixed time base, clear the timer
resource.
• At the end of the fixed time base save the value in
the timer resource.
The value of the timer resource is the number of
oscillations of the capacitive sensing oscillator for the
given time base. The frequency of the capacitive
sensing oscillator is equal to the number of counts on
in the timer divided by the period of the fixed time base.

Operation during Sleep
The capacitive sensing oscillator will continue to run as
long as the module is enabled, independent of the part
being in Sleep. In order for the software to determine if
a frequency change has occurred, the part must be
awake. However, the part does not have to be awake
when the timer resource is acquiring counts.
Note:
Timer0 does not operate when in Sleep,
and therefore cannot be used for
capacitive sense measurements in Sleep.

LCD Clock Source Selection
Using bits CS<1:0> of the LCDCON register can select
any of these clock sources.
The LCD module has 3 possible clock sources:
27.3.1
• FOSC/256
• T1OSC
• LFINTOSC
The first clock source is the system clock divided by
256 (FOSC/256). This divider ratio is chosen to provide
about 1 kHz output when the system clock is 8 MHz.
The divider is not programmable. Instead, the LCD
prescaler bits LP<3:0> of the LCDPS register are used
to set the LCD frame clock rate.
LCD PRESCALER
A 4-bit counter is available as a prescaler for the LCD
clock. The prescaler is not directly readable or writable;
its value is set by the LP<3:0> bits of the LCDPS register,
which determine the prescaler assignment and prescale
ratio.
The prescale values are selectable from 1:1 through
1:16.
The second clock source is the T1OSC. This also gives
about 1 kHz when a 32.768 kHz crystal is used with the
Timer1 oscillator. To use the Timer1 oscillator as a
clock source, the T1OSCEN bit of the T1CON register
should be set.
The third clock source is the 31 kHz LFINTOSC, which
provides approximately 1 kHz output.
The second and third clock sources may be used to
continue running the LCD while the processor is in
Sleep.

LCD Bias Voltage Generation
The LCD module can be configured for one of three
bias types:
• Static Bias (2 voltage levels: VSS and VLCD)
• 1/2 Bias (3 voltage levels: VSS, 1/2 VLCD and
VLCD)
• 1/3 Bias (4 voltage levels: VSS, 1/3 VLCD,
2/3 VLCD and VLCD)

So that the user is not forced to place external components and use up to three pins for bias voltage generation,
internal contrast control and an internal reference ladder
are provided internally to the PIC16(L)F1946/47. Both of
these features may be used in conjunction with the external VLCD<3:1> pins, to provide maximum flexibility. Refer

LCD Bias Internal Reference
Ladder
The internal reference ladder can be used to divide the
LCD bias voltage two or three equally spaced voltages
that will be supplied to the LCD segment pins. To create
this, the reference ladder consists of three matched
resistors. Refer to Figure 27-3.
27.5.2
POWER MODES
The internal reference ladder may be operated in one of
three power modes. This allows the user to trade off LCD
contrast for power in the specific application. The larger
the LCD glass, the more capacitance is present on a
physical LCD segment, requiring more current to
maintain the same contrast level.
When in 1/2 Bias mode (BIASMD = 1), then the middle
resistor of the ladder is shorted out so that only two
voltages are generated. The current consumption of the
ladder is higher in this mode, with the one resistor
removed.
Three different power modes are available, LP, MP and
HP. The internal reference ladder can also be turned off
for applications that wish to provide an external ladder
or to minimize power consumption. Disabling the
internal reference ladder results in all of the ladders
being disconnected, allowing external voltages to be
supplied.
TABLE 27-3:
Whenever the LCD module is inactive (LCDA = 0), the
internal reference ladder will be turned off.

AUTOMATIC POWER MODE
SWITCHING
The LCDRL register allows switching between two
power modes, designated ‘A’ and ‘B’. ‘A’ Power mode
is active for a programmable time, beginning at the
time when the LCD segments transition. ‘B’ Power
mode is the remaining time before the segments or
commons change again. The LRLAT<2:0> bits select
how long, if any, that the ‘A’ Power mode is active.
Refer to Figure 27-4.
As an LCD segment is electrically only a capacitor, current is drawn only during the interval where the voltage
is switching. To minimize total device current, the LCD
internal reference ladder can be operated in a different
power mode for the transition portion of the duration.
This is controlled by the LCDRL Register
(Register 27-7).
FIGURE 27-4:
To implement this, the 5-bit prescaler used to divide
the 32 kHz clock down to the LCD controller’s 1 kHz
base rate is used to select the power mode.

CONTRAST CONTROL
The LCD contrast control circuit consists of a
seven-tap resistor ladder, controlled by the LCDCST
bits. Refer to Figure 27-7.
FIGURE 27-7:
The contrast control circuit is used to decrease the
output voltage of the signal source by a total of
approximately 10%, when LCDCST = 111.
Whenever the LCD module is inactive (LCDA = 0), the
contrast control ladder will be turned off (open).

Contrast control
INTERNAL REFERENCE
Under firmware control, an internal reference for the
LCD bias voltages can be enabled. When enabled, the
source of this voltage can be either VDDIO or a voltage
3 times the main fixed voltage reference (3.072V).
When no internal reference is selected, the LCD contrast control circuit is disabled and LCD bias must be
provided externally.
Whenever the LCD module is inactive (LCDA = 0), the
internal reference will be turned off.
When the internal reference is enabled and the Fixed
Voltage Reference is selected, the LCDIRI bit can be
used to minimize power consumption by tieing into the
LCD reference ladder automatic power mode switching.
When LCDIRI = 1 and the LCD reference ladder is in
Power mode ‘B’, the LCD internal FVR buffer is
disabled.
27.6.3
VLCD<3:1> PINS
The VLCD<3:1> pins provide the ability for an external
LCD bias network to be used instead of the internal ladder. Use of the VLCD<3:1> pins does not prevent use
of the internal ladder. Each VLCD pin has an independent control in the LCDREF register (Register 27-3),
allowing access to any or all of the LCD Bias signals.
This architecture allows for maximum flexibility in
different applications
For example, the VLCD<3:1> pins may be used to add
capacitors to the internal reference ladder, increasing
the drive capacity.
For applications where the internal contrast control is
insufficient, the firmware can choose to only enable the
VLCD3 pin, allowing an external contrast control circuit
to use the internal reference divider.
.
Note:
The LCD module automatically turns on the
Fixed Voltage Reference when needed.

LCD Multiplex Types
27.9
Pixel Control
The LCD driver module can be configured into one of
four multiplex types:
The LCDDATAx registers contain bits which define the
state of each pixel. Each bit defines one unique pixel.
•
•
•
•
Register 27-6 shows the correlation of each bit in the
LCDDATAx registers to the respective common and
segment signals.
Static (only COM0 is used)
1/2 multiplex (COM<1:0> are used)
1/3 multiplex (COM<2:0> are used)
1/4 multiplex (COM<3:0> are used)
The LMUX<1:0> bit setting of the LCDCON register
decides which of the LCD common pins are used (see
Table 27-4 for details).
If the pin is a digital I/O, the corresponding TRIS bit
controls the data direction. If the pin is a COM drive,
then the TRIS setting of that pin is overridden.
Any LCD pixel location not being used for display can
be used as general purpose RAM.
27.10 LCD Frame Frequency
The rate at which the COM and SEG outputs change is
called the LCD frame frequency.

Segment Enables
The LCDSEn registers are used to select the pin
function for each segment pin. The selection allows
each pin to operate as either an LCD segment driver or
as one of the pin’s alternate functions. To configure the
pin as a segment pin, the corresponding bits in the
LCDSEn registers must be set to ‘1’.
If the pin is a digital I/O, the corresponding TRIS bit
controls the data direction. Any bit set in the LCDSEn
registers overrides any bit settings in the corresponding
TRIS register.
Note:
On a Power-on Reset, these pins are
configured as normal I/O, not LCD pins.

27.11 LCD Waveform Generation
LCD waveforms are generated so that the net AC
voltage across the dark pixel should be maximized and
the net AC voltage across the clear pixel should be
minimized. The net DC voltage across any pixel should
be zero.
The COM signal represents the time slice for each
common, while the SEG contains the pixel data.
The pixel signal (COM-SEG) will have no DC
component and it can take only one of the two RMS
values. The higher RMS value will create a dark pixel
and a lower RMS value will create a clear pixel.
As the number of commons increases, the delta
between the two RMS values decreases. The delta
represents the maximum contrast that the display can
have.
The LCDs can be driven by two types of waveform:
Type-A and Type-B. In Type-A waveform, the phase
changes within each common type, whereas in Type-B
waveform, the phase changes on each frame
boundary. Thus, Type-A waveform maintains 0 VDC
over a single frame, whereas Type-B waveform takes
two frames.
Note 1: If Sleep has to be executed with LCD
Sleep disabled (LCDCON<SLPEN> is
‘1’), then care must be taken to execute
Sleep only when VDC on all the pixels is
‘0’.
2: When the LCD clock source is FOSC/256,
if Sleep is executed, irrespective of the
LCDCON<SLPEN> setting, the LCD
immediately goes into Sleep. Thus, take
care to see that VDC on all pixels is ‘0’
when Sleep is executed.
Figure 27-8 through Figure 27-18 provide waveforms
for static, half-multiplex, 1/3-multiplex and 1/4-multiplex
drives for Type-A and Type-B waveforms.

27.12 LCD Interrupts
The LCD module provides an interrupt in two cases. An
interrupt when the LCD controller goes from active to
inactive controller. An interrupt also provides unframe
boundaries for Type B waveform. The LCD timing generation provides an interrupt that defines the LCD
frame timing.
27.12.1
LCD INTERRUPT ON MODULE
SHUTDOWN
An LCD interrupt is generated when the module
completes shutting down (LCDA goes from ‘1’ to ‘0’).
27.12.2
LCD FRAME INTERRUPTS
A new frame is defined to begin at the leading edge of
the COM0 common signal. The interrupt will be set
immediately after the LCD controller completes accessing all pixel data required for a frame. This will occur at
a fixed interval before the frame boundary (TFINT), as
shown in Figure 27-19. The LCD controller will begin to
access data for the next frame within the interval from
the interrupt to when the controller begins to access
data after the interrupt (TFWR). New data must be written within TFWR, as this is when the LCD controller will
begin to access the data for the next frame.
When the LCD driver is running with Type-B waveforms
and the LMUX<1:0> bits are not equal to ‘00’ (static
drive), there are some additional issues that must be
addressed. Since the DC voltage on the pixel takes two
frames to maintain zero volts, the pixel data must not
change between subsequent frames. If the pixel data
were allowed to change, the waveform for the odd
frames would not necessarily be the complement of the
waveform generated in the even frames and a DC
component would be introduced into the panel.
Therefore, when using Type-B waveforms, the user
must synchronize the LCD pixel updates to occur within
a subframe after the frame interrupt.
To correctly sequence writing while in Type-B, the
interrupt will only occur on complete phase intervals. If
the user attempts to write when the write is disabled,
the WERR bit of the LCDCON register is set and the
write does not occur.
Note:
The LCD frame interrupt is not generated
when the Type-A waveform is selected
and when the Type-B with no multiplex
(static) is selected.

27.13 Operation During Sleep
The LCD module can operate during Sleep. The
selection is controlled by bit SLPEN of the LCDCON
register. Setting the SLPEN bit allows the LCD module
to go to Sleep. Clearing the SLPEN bit allows the
module to continue to operate during Sleep.
If a SLEEP instruction is executed and SLPEN = 1, the
LCD module will cease all functions and go into a very
low-current Consumption mode. The module will stop
operation immediately and drive the minimum LCD
voltage on both segment and common lines.
Figure 27-20 shows this operation.
The LCD module can be configured to operate during
Sleep. The selection is controlled by bit SLPEN of the
LCDCON register. Clearing SLPEN and correctly configuring the LCD module clock will allow the LCD module to operate during Sleep. Setting SLPEN and
correctly executing the LCD module shutdown will
disable the LCD module during Sleep and save power.
If a SLEEP instruction is executed and SLPEN = 1, the
LCD module will immediately cease all functions, drive
the outputs to Vss and go into a very low-current mode.
The SLEEP instruction should only be executed after
the LCD module has been disabled and the current
cycle completed, thus ensuring that there are no DC
voltages on the glass. To disable the LCD module,
clear the LCDEN bit. The LCD module will complete the
disabling process after the current frame, clear the
LCDA bit and optionally cause an interrupt.
The steps required to properly enter Sleep with the
LCD disabled are:
• Clear LCDEN
• Wait for LCDA = 0 either by polling or by interrupt
• Execute SLEEP
If SLPEN = 0 and SLEEP is executed while the LCD
module clock source is FOSC/4, then the LCD module
will halt with the pin driving the last LCD voltage pattern. Prolonged exposure to a fixed LCD voltage pattern will cause damage to the LCD glass. To prevent
LCD glass damage, either perform the proper LCD
module shutdown prior to Sleep, or change the LCD
module clock to allow the LCD module to continue
operation during Sleep.
If a SLEEP instruction is executed and SLPEN = 0 and
the LCD module clock is either T1OSC or LFINTOSC,
the module will continue to display the current contents
of the LCDDATA registers. While in Sleep, the LCD
data cannot be changed. If the LCDIE bit is set, the
device will wake from Sleep on the next LCD frame
boundary. The LCD module current consumption will
not decrease in this mode; however, the overall device
power consumption will be lower due to the shutdown
of the CPU and other peripherals.
 2010-2012 Microchip Technology Inc.
Table 27-8 shows the status of the LCD module during
a Sleep while using each of the three available clock
sources.
Note:
When the LCDEN bit is cleared, the LCD
module will be disabled at the completion
of frame. At this time, the port pins will
revert to digital functionality. To minimize
power consumption due to floating digital
inputs, the LCD pins should be driven low
using the PORT and TRIS registers.
If a SLEEP instruction is executed and SLPEN = 0, the
module will continue to display the current contents of
the LCDDATA registers. To allow the module to
continue operation while in Sleep, the clock source
must be either the LFINTOSC or T1OSC external
oscillator. While in Sleep, the LCD data cannot be
changed. The LCD module current consumption will
not decrease in this mode; however, the overall
consumption of the device will be lower due to shut
down of the core and other peripheral functions.

Sleep while using each of the three available clock
sources:

27.14 Configuring the LCD Module
27.16 LCD Current Consumption
The following is the sequence of steps to configure the
LCD module.
When using the LCD module the current consumption
consists of the following three factors:
1.
• Oscillator Selection
• LCD Bias Source
• Capacitance of the LCD segments
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
Select the frame clock prescale using bits
LP<3:0> of the LCDPS register.
Configure the appropriate pins to function as
segment drivers using the LCDSEn registers.
Configure the LCD module for the following
using the LCDCON register:
- Multiplex and Bias mode, bits LMUX<1:0>
- Timing source, bits CS<1:0>
- Sleep mode, bit SLPEN
Write initial values to pixel data registers,
LCDDATA0 through LCDDATA23.
Clear LCD Interrupt Flag, LCDIF bit of the PIR2
register and if desired, enable the interrupt by
setting bit LCDIE of the PIE2 register.
Configure bias voltages by setting the LCDRL,
LCDREF and the associated ANSELx
registers as needed.
Enable the LCD module by setting bit LCDEN of
the LCDCON register.
27.15 Disabling the LCD Module
To disable the LCD module, write all ‘0’s to the
LCDCON register.
 2010-2012 Microchip Technology Inc.
The current consumption of just the LCD module can
be considered negligible compared to these other
factors.
27.16.1
OSCILLATOR SELECTION
The current consumed by the clock source selected
must be considered when using the LCD module. See
Section 30.0 “Electrical Specifications” for oscillator
current consumption information.
27.16.2
LCD BIAS SOURCE
The LCD bias source, internal or external, can contribute significantly to the current consumption. Use the
highest possible resistor values while maintaining
contrast to minimize current.
27.16.3
CAPACITANCE OF THE LCD
SEGMENTS
The LCD segments which can be modeled as capacitors which must be both charged and discharged every
frame. The size of the LCD segment and its technology
determines the segment’s capacitance.

IN-CIRCUIT SERIAL
PROGRAMMING™ (ICSP™)
ICSP™ programming allows customers to manufacture
circuit boards with unprogrammed devices. Programming
can be done after the assembly process allowing the
device to be programmed with the most recent firmware
or a custom firmware. Five pins are needed for ICSP™
programming:
• ICSPCLK
• ICSPDAT
• MCLR/VPP
• VDD
• VSS
In Program/Verify mode the program memory, user IDs
and the Configuration Words are programmed through
serial communications. The ICSPDAT pin is a
bidirectional I/O used for transferring the serial data
and the ICSPCLK pin is the clock input. For more
information
on
ICSP™
refer
to
the
“PIC16F193X/LF193X/PIC16F194X/LF194X Memory
Programming Specification” (DS41397).
28.1
High-Voltage Programming Entry
Mode
The device is placed into High-Voltage Programming
Entry mode by holding the ICSPCLK and ICSPDAT
pins low then raising the voltage on MCLR/VPP to VIHH.
Some programmers produce VPP greater than VIHH
(9.0V), an external circuit is required to limit the VPP
voltage. See Figure 28-1 for example circuit.

It is recommended that isolation devices be used to
separate the programming pins from other circuitry.
The type of isolation is highly dependent on the specific
application and may include devices such as resistors,
diodes, or even jumpers. See Figure 28-4 for more

INSTRUCTION SET SUMMARY
29.1
Read-Modify-Write Operations
• Byte Oriented
• Bit Oriented
• Literal and Control
Any instruction that specifies a file register as part of
the instruction performs a Read-Modify-Write (R-M-W)
operation. The register is read, the data is modified,
and the result is stored according to either the instruction, or the destination designator ‘d’. A read operation
is performed on a register even if the instruction writes
to that register.
The literal and control category contains the most varied instruction word format.
TABLE 29-1:
Each instruction is a 14-bit word containing the operation code (opcode) and all required operands. The
opcodes are broken into three broad categories.
<Link>Table 29-3 lists the instructions recognized by
the MPASMTM assembler.
All instructions are executed within a single instruction
cycle, with the following exceptions, which may take
two or three cycles:
• Subroutine takes two cycles (CALL, CALLW)
• Returns from interrupts or subroutines take two
cycles (RETURN, RETLW, RETFIE)
• Program branching takes two cycles (GOTO, BRA,
BRW, BTFSS, BTFSC, DECFSZ, INCSFZ)
• One additional instruction cycle will be used when
any instruction references an indirect file register
and the file select register is pointing to program
memory.
One instruction cycle consists of 4 oscillator cycles; for
an oscillator frequency of 4 MHz, this gives a nominal
instruction execution rate of 1 MHz.
All instruction examples use the format ‘0xhh’ to
represent a hexadecimal number, where ‘h’ signifies a
hexadecimal digit.

These parameters are characterized but not tested.
Data in “Typ” column is at 3.0V, 25°C unless otherwise stated. These parameters are for design guidance only and are not
tested.
In RC oscillator configuration, the OSC1/CLKIN pin is a Schmitt Trigger input. It is not recommended to use an external clock in
RC mode.
Negative current is defined as current sourced by the pin.
The leakage current on the MCLR pin is strongly dependent on the applied voltage level. The specified levels represent normal
operating conditions. Higher leakage current may be measured at different input voltages.
Including OSC2 in CLKOUT mode.

These parameters are characterized but not tested.
Data in “Typ” column is at 3.0V, 25°C unless otherwise stated. These parameters are for design guidance only and are not
tested.
Note 1: Instruction cycle period (TCY) equals four times the input oscillator time base period. All specified values are based on
characterization data for that particular oscillator type under standard operating conditions with the device executing code.
Exceeding these specified limits may result in an unstable oscillator operation and/or higher than expected current consumption. All devices are tested to operate at “min” values with an external clock applied to OSC1 pin. When an external
clock input is used, the “max” cycle time limit is “DC” (no clock) for all devices.

Total Absolute Error includes integral, differential, offset and gain errors.
The A/D conversion result never decreases with an increase in the input voltage and has no missing codes.
When ADC is off, it will not consume any current other than leakage current. The power-down current specification
includes any such leakage from the ADC module.
ADC Reference Voltage (Ref+) is the selected reference input, VREF+ pin, VDD pin or the FVR Buffer1. When the FVR is
selected as the reference input, the FVR Buffer1 output selection must be 2.048V or 4.096V, (ADFVR<1:0> = 1x).

These parameters are characterized but not tested.
As a transmitter, the device must provide this internal minimum delay time to bridge the undefined region
(min. 300 ns) of the falling edge of SCL to avoid unintended generation of Start or Stop conditions.
A Fast mode (400 kHz) I2C™ bus device can be used in a Standard mode (100 kHz) I2C bus system, but
the requirement TSU:DAT 250 ns must then be met. This will automatically be the case if the device does
not stretch the low period of the SCL signal. If such a device does stretch the low period of the SCL signal,
it must output the next data bit to the SDA line TR max. + TSU:DAT = 1000 + 250 = 1250 ns (according to
the Standard mode I2C bus specification), before the SCL line is released.
