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 intended through suggestion only
and may be superseded by updates. It is your responsibility to
ensure that your application meets with your specifications.

MEMORY ORGANIZATION
2.1
Program Memory Organization
2.2
The PIC16F688 has a 13-bit program counter capable
of addressing a 4k x 14 program memory space. Only
the first 4k x 14 (0000h-01FFF) for the PIC16F688 is
physically implemented. Accessing a location above
these boundaries will cause a wrap around within the
first 4k x 14 space. The Reset vector is at 0000h and
the interrupt vector is at 0004h (see Figure 2-1).

The data memory is partitioned into multiple banks,
which contain the General Purpose Registers (GPR)
and the Special Function Registers (SFR). Bits RP0
and RP1 are bank select bits.

Each bank extends up to 7Fh (128 bytes). The lower
locations of each bank are reserved for the Special
Function Registers. Above the Special Function
Registers are the General Purpose Registers,
implemented as static RAM. All implemented banks
contain Special Function Registers. Some frequently
used Special Function Registers from one bank are
mirrored in another bank for code reduction and
quicker access.

Data Memory Organization
GENERAL PURPOSE REGISTER
FILE
The register file is organized as 256 x 8 in the
PIC16F688. Each register is accessed, either directly
or indirectly, through the File Select Register (FSR)
(see Section 2.4 “Indirect Addressing, INDF and
FSR Registers”).
2.2.2
SPECIAL FUNCTION REGISTERS
The Special Function Registers are registers used by
the CPU and peripheral functions for controlling the
desired operation of the device (see Tables 2-1, 2-2,
2-3 and 2-4). These registers are static RAM.
The special registers can be classified into two sets:
core and peripheral. The Special Function Registers
associated with the “core” are described in this section.
Those related to the operation of the peripheral
features are described in the section of that peripheral
feature.

2.2.2.1
Status Register
The Status register, shown in Register 2-1, contains:
• the arithmetic status of the ALU
• the Reset status
• the bank select bits for data memory (SRAM)
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 (see Section 12.0 “Instruction Set Summary”).
Note 1: Bits IRP and RP1 (Status<7:6>) are not
used by the PIC16F688 and should be
maintained as clear. Use of these bits is
not recommended, since this may affect
upward compatibility with future products.
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.
2: The C and DC bits operate as a Borrow
and Digit Borrow out bit, respectively, in
subtraction. See the SUBLW and SUBWF
instructions for examples.
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).

bit 0
C: Carry/borrow bit (ADDWF, ADDLW, SUBLW, SUBWF instructions)
1 = A carry-out from the Most Significant bit of the result occurred
0 = No carry-out from the Most Significant bit of the result occurred
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 or low-order bit of the source register.

Note:
Interrupt flag bits are set when an interrupt
condition occurs, regardless of the state of
its corresponding enable bit or the global
enable bit, GIE (INTCON<7>). User
software should ensure the appropriate

PCL and PCLATH
The program counter (PC) is 13 bits wide. The low byte
comes from the PCL register, which is a readable and
writable register. The high byte (PC<12:8>) is not
directly readable or writable and comes from PCLATH.
On any Reset, the PC is cleared. Figure 2-3 shows the
two situations for the loading of the PC. The upper
example in Figure 2-3 shows how the PC is loaded on a
write to PCL (PCLATH<4:0> → PCH). The lower example in Figure 2-3 shows how the PC is loaded during a
CALL or GOTO instruction (PCLATH<4:3> → PCH).

PC
The PIC16F688 family has an 8-level x 13-bit wide
hardware stack (see Figure 2-1). The stack space is
not part of either program or data space and the stack
pointer is not readable or writable. The PC is PUSHed
onto the stack when a CALL instruction is 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. This means that
after the stack has been PUSHed eight times, the ninth
push overwrites the value that was stored from the first
push. The tenth push overwrites the second push (and
so on).
Note 1: There are no Status bits to indicate stack
overflow or stack underflow conditions.
2: There are no instructions/mnemonics
called PUSH or POP. These are actions
that occur from the execution of the
CALL, RETURN, RETLW and RETFIE
instructions or the vectoring to an
interrupt address.

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).

Indirect Addressing, INDF and
FSR Registers
A simple program to clear RAM location 20h-2Fh using
indirect addressing is shown in Example 2-1.
The INDF register is not a physical register. Addressing
the INDF register will cause indirect addressing.
EXAMPLE 2-1:
MOVLW
MOVWF
NEXT CLRF
INCF
BTFSS
GOTO
CONTINUE
Indirect addressing is possible by using the INDF
register. Any instruction using the INDF register
actually accesses data pointed to by the File Select
Register (FSR). Reading INDF itself indirectly will
produce 00h. Writing to the INDF register indirectly
results in a no operation (although Status bits may be
affected). An effective 9-bit address is obtained by
concatenating the 8-bit FSR register and the IRP bit
(Status<7>), as shown in Figure 2-4.

CLOCK SOURCES
The PIC16F688 can be configured in one of eight clock
modes.
3.1
Overview
1.
2.
The PIC16F688 has a wide variety of clock sources
and selection features to allow it to be used in a wide
range of applications while maximizing performance
and minimizing power consumption. Figure 3-1
illustrates a block diagram of the PIC16F688 clock
sources.
3.
4.
5.
Clock sources can be configured from external
oscillators, quartz crystal resonators, ceramic
resonators, and Resistor-Capacitor (RC) circuits. In
addition, the system clock source can be configured
from one of two internal oscillators, with a choice of
speeds selectable via software. Additional clock
features include:
6.
7.
8.
• Selectable system clock source between external
or internal via software.
• Two-Speed Clock 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 to the
Internal Oscillator.
FIGURE 3-1:
EC – External clock with I/O on RA4.

INTRCIO – Internal oscillator with I/O on RA4
and RA5.
Clock source modes are configured by the FOSC<2:0>
bits in the Configuration Word register (see
Section 11.0 “Special Features Of The CPU”). The
internal clock can be generated by two oscillators. The
HFINTOSC is a high-frequency calibrated oscillator.
The LFINTOSC is a low-frequency uncalibrated
oscillator.

Clock Source Modes
Clock source modes can be classified as external or
internal.
• External clock modes rely on external circuitry for
the clock source. 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 internally
within the PIC16F688. The PIC16F688 has two
internal oscillators: the 8 MHz High-Frequency
Internal Oscillator (HFINTOSC) and 31 kHz
Low-Frequency Internal Oscillator (LFINTOSC).
The system clock can be selected between external or
internal clock sources via the System Clock Selection
(SCS) bit (see Section 3.5 “Clock Switching”).
TABLE 3-1:
3.3
External Clock Modes
3.3.1
OSCILLATOR START-UP TIMER (OST)
If the PIC16F688 is configured for LP, XT or HS modes,
the Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) counts 1024 oscillations from the OSC1 pin, following a Power-on Reset
(POR) and 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 PIC16F688. When switching
between clock sources a delay is required to allow the
new clock to stabilize. These oscillator delays are
shown in Table 3-1.
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 3.6
“Two-Speed Clock Start-up Mode”).

The Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) is disabled when

operation after a Power-on Reset (POR) or wake-up
from Sleep. Because the PIC16F688 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.

FIGURE 3-4:
LP, XT, HS MODES
The LP, XT and HS modes support the use of quartz
crystal resonators or ceramic resonators connected to
the OSC1 and OSC2 pins (Figure 3-1). The mode
selects 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
best suited to drive resonators with a low drive level
specification, for example, tuning fork type 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, for example,
low-frequency/AT-cut quartz crystal resonators.
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, for example, high-frequency/AT-cut
quartz crystal resonators or ceramic resonators.

EXTERNAL RC MODES
3.4
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. There are two modes, RC and RCIO.
In RC mode, the RC circuit connects to the OSC1 pin.
The OSC2/CLKOUT pin outputs the RC oscillator
frequency divided by 4. This signal may be used to
provide a clock for external circuitry, synchronization,
calibration, test or other application requirements.
Figure 3-5 shows the RC mode connections.

In RCIO mode, the RC circuit is connected to the OSC1
pin. The OSC2 pin becomes an additional general
purpose I/O pin. The I/O pin becomes bit 4 of PORTA
(RA4). Figure 3-6 shows the RCIO mode connections.
RCIO MODE
In INTRC mode, the OSC1 pin is available for general
purpose I/O. The OSC2/CLKOUT pin outputs the
selected internal oscillator frequency divided by 4. The
CLKOUT signal may be used to provide a clock for
external circuitry, synchronization, calibration, test or
other application requirements.
In INTRCIO mode, the OSC1 and OSC2 pins are
available for general purpose I/O.

The RC oscillator frequency is a function of the supply
voltage, the resistor (REXT) and capacitor (CEXT)
values and the operating temperature. Other factors
affecting the oscillator frequency are:
• threshold voltage variation
• component tolerances
• packaging variations in capacitance
The output of the HFINTOSC connects to a postscaler
and multiplexer (see Figure 3-1). One of seven
frequencies can be selected via software using the
IRCF bits (see Section 3.4.4 “Frequency Select Bits
(IRCF)”).
The HFINTOSC is enabled by selecting any frequency
between 8 MHz and 125 kHz (IRCF ≠ 000) as the
system clock source (SCS = 1), or when Two-Speed
Start-up is enabled (IESO = 1 and IRCF ≠ 000).
The HF Internal Oscillator (HTS) bit (OSCCON<2>)
indicates whether the HFINTOSC is stable or not.
The user also needs to take into account variation due
to tolerance of external RC components used.

OSCTUNE Register
The HFINTOSC is factory calibrated but can be
adjusted in software by writing to the OSCTUNE
register (Register 3-1).
The OSCTUNE register has a tuning range of ±12%.
The default value of the OSCTUNE register is ‘0’. The
value is a 5-bit two's complement number. Due to
process variation, the monotonicity and frequency step
cannot be specified.

OSCTUNE does not affect the LFINTOSC frequency.
Operation of features that depend on the LFINTOSC
clock source frequency, such as the Power-up Timer

change in frequency.

3.4.5
The Low-Frequency Internal Oscillator (LFINTOSC) is
an uncalibrated (approximate) 31 kHz internal clock
source.
The output of the LFINTOSC connects to a postscaler
and multiplexer (see Figure 3-1). 31 kHz can be
selected via software using the IRCF bits (see
Section 3.4.4 “Frequency Select Bits (IRCF)”). 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

FREQUENCY SELECT BITS (IRCF)
The output of the 8 MHz HFINTOSC and 31 kHz
LFINTOSC connect to a postscaler and multiplexer

select bits, IRCF<2:0> (OSCCON<6:4>), select the
frequency output of the internal oscillators. One of eight
frequencies can be selected via software:
•

•
When switching between the LFINTOSC and the
HFINTOSC, the new oscillator may already be shut
down to save power. If this is the case, there is a 10 µs
delay after the IRCF bits are modified before the
frequency selection takes place. The LTS/HTS bits will
reflect the current active status of the LFINTOSC and
the HFINTOSC oscillators. The timing of a frequency
selection is as follows:

IRCF bits are modified.
If the new clock is shut down, a 10 µs clock
start-up delay is started.
Clock switch circuitry waits for a falling edge of
the current clock.
CLKOUT is held low and the clock switch
circuitry waits for a rising edge in the new clock.
CLKOUT is now connected with the new clock.
HTS/LTS bits are updated as required.
Clock switch is complete.
If the internal oscillator speed selected is between
8 MHz and 125 kHz, there is no start-up delay before
the new frequency is selected. This is because the old
and the new frequencies are derived from the
HFINTOSC via the postscaler and multiplexer.

Clock Switching
The system clock source can be switched between
external and internal clock sources via software using
the System Clock Select (SCS) bit.
3.5.1
SYSTEM CLOCK SELECT (SCS) BIT
The System Clock Select (SCS) bit (OSCCON<0>)
selects the system clock source that is used for the
CPU and peripherals.
• When SCS = 0, the system clock source is
determined by configuration of the FOSC<2:0>
bits in the Configuration Word register (CONFIG).
• When SCS = 1, the system clock source is
chosen by the internal oscillator frequency
selected by the IRCF bits. After a Reset, SCS is
always cleared.
Note:
3.5.2
Any automatic clock switch, which may
occur from Two-Speed Start-up or
Fail-Safe Clock Monitor, does not update
the SCS bit. The user can monitor the
OSTS (OSCCON<3>) to determine the
current system clock source.
OSCILLATOR START-UP TIME-OUT
STATUS BIT
The Oscillator Start-up Time-out Status (OSTS) bit
(OSCCON<3>) indicates whether the system clock is
running from the external clock source, as defined by
the FOSC bits, or from internal clock source. In
particular, OSTS indicates that the Oscillator Start-up
Timer (OST) has timed out for LP, XT or HS modes.
3.6
Two-Speed Clock Start-up Mode
When the PIC16F688 is configured for LP, XT or HS
modes, the Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) is enabled
(see Section 3.3.1 “Oscillator Start-up Timer
(OST)”). The OST timer will suspend program
execution until 1024 oscillations are counted.
Two-Speed Start-up mode minimizes the delay in code
execution by operating from the internal oscillator as
the OST is counting. When the OST count reaches
1024 and the OSTS bit (OSCCON<3>) is set, program
execution switches to the external oscillator.
3.6.1
Two-Speed Start-up mode is configured by the
following settings:
• IESO = 1 (CONFIG<10>) Internal/External Switch
Over bit.
• SCS = 0.
• FOSC configured for LP, XT or HS mode.
Two-Speed Start-up mode is entered after:
• Power-on Reset (POR) and, if enabled, after
PWRT has expired, or
• Wake-up from Sleep.
If the external clock oscillator is configured to be anything 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.
3.6.2
1.
2.
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.
3.
4.
This mode allows the application to wake-up from
Sleep, perform a few instructions using the INTOSC
as the clock source and go back to Sleep without
waiting for the primary oscillator to become stable.
7.
Note:
Executing a SLEEP instruction will abort
the oscillator start-up time and will cause
the OSTS bit (OSCCON<3>) to remain
clear.

Fail-Safe Clock Monitor
The Fail-Safe Clock Monitor (FSCM) is designed to
allow the device to continue to operate in the event of
an oscillator failure. The FSCM can detect oscillator
failure at any point after the device has exited a Reset
or Sleep condition and the Oscillator Start-up Timer
(OST) has expired.

The FSCM function is enabled by setting the FCMEN
bit in the Configuration Word (CONFIG). It is applicable
to all external clock options (LP, XT, HS, EC, RC or IO
modes).
The frequency of the internal oscillator will depend
upon the value contained in the IRCF bits
(OSCCON<6:4>). Upon entering the Fail-Safe
condition, the OSTS bit (OSCCON<3>) is automatically cleared to reflect that the internal oscillator is
active and the WDT is cleared. The SCS bit
(OSCCON<0>) is not updated. Enabling FSCM does
not affect the LTS bit.
The FSCM sample clock is generated by dividing the
INTRC clock by 64. This will allow enough time
between FSCM sample clocks for a system clock edge
to occur. Figure 3-8 shows the FSCM block diagram.
On the rising edge of the sample clock, the monitoring
latch (CM = 0) will be cleared. On a falling edge of the
primary system clock, the monitoring latch will be set
(CM = 1). In the event that a falling edge of the sample
clock occurs, and the monitoring latch is not set, a clock
failure has been detected. The assigned internal
oscillator is enabled when FSCM is enabled as
reflected by the IRCF.
Note:
Two-Speed Start-up is automatically
enabled when the Fail-Safe Clock Monitor
mode is enabled.
Note:
Primary clocks with a frequency ≤ ~488 Hz
will be considered failed by the FSCM. A
slow starting oscillator can cause an
FSCM interrupt.
In the event of an external clock failure, the FSCM will
set the OSFIF bit (PIR1<2>) and generate an oscillator
fail interrupt if the OSFIE bit (PIE1<2>) is set. The
device will then switch the system clock to the internal
oscillator. The system clock will continue to come from
the internal oscillator unless the external clock recovers
and the Fail-Safe condition is exited.

FAIL-SAFE CONDITION CLEARING
The Fail-Safe condition is cleared after a Reset, the
execution of a SLEEP instruction, or a modification of
the SCS bit. While in Fail-Safe condition, the
PIC16F688 uses the internal oscillator as the system
clock source. The IRCF bits (OSCCON<6:4>) can be
modified to adjust the internal oscillator frequency
without exiting the Fail-Safe condition.
The Fail-Safe condition must be cleared before the
OSFIF flag can be cleared.

The system clock is normally at a much higher frequency than the sample clock. The relative frequencies in

RESET OR WAKE-UP FROM SLEEP
The FSCM is designed to detect oscillator failure at
any point after the device has exited a Reset or Sleep
condition and the Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) has
expired. If the external clock is EC or RC mode,
monitoring will begin immediately following these
events.
For LP, XT or HS mode the external oscillator may
require a start-up time considerably longer than the
FSCM sample clock time, a false clock failure may be
detected (see Figure 3-9). To prevent this, the internal
oscillator is automatically configured as the system
clock and functions until the external clock is stable
(the OST has timed out). This is identical to
Two-Speed Start-up mode. Once the external
oscillator is stable, the LFINTOSC returns to its role as
the FSCM source.
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
OSTS bit (OSCCON<3>) to verify the
oscillator start-up and system clock
switchover has successfully completed.

PORTA and the TRISA Registers
PORTA is a 6-bit wide, bidirectional port. The
corresponding data direction register is TRISA. Setting
a TRISA bit (= 1) will make the corresponding PORTA
pin an input (i.e., put the corresponding output driver in
a Hi-impedance mode). Clearing a TRISA bit (= 0) will
make the corresponding PORTA pin an output (i.e., put
the contents of the output latch on the selected pin).
The exception is RA3, which is input only and its TRISA
bit will always read as ‘1’. Example 4-1 shows how to
initialize PORTA.
Reading the PORTA register 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. RA3 reads ‘0’ when MCLRE = 1.

Additional Pin Functions
Every PORTA pin on the PIC16F688 has an interrupton-change option and a weak pull-up option. PORTA
also provides an Ultra Low-Power Wake-up option. The
next three sections describe these functions.
4.2.1
WEAK PULL-UPS
Each of the PORTA pins, except RA3, has an individually configurable internal weak pull-up. Control bits
WPUAx enable or disable each pull-up. Refer to
Register 4-3. Each weak pull-up is automatically turned
off when the port pin is configured as an output. The
pull-ups are disabled on a Power-on Reset by the
RAPU bit (Option<7>). A weak pull-up is automatically
enabled for RA3 when configured as MCLR and
_disabled when RA3 is an I/O. There is no software
control of the MCLR pull-up.
The TRISA register controls the direction of the
PORTA pins, even when they are being used as analog
inputs. The user must 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’.
Note:
The ANSEL (91h) and CMCON0 (19h)
registers must be initialized to configure
an analog channel as a digital input. Pins
configured as analog inputs will read ‘0’.

4.2.2
INTERRUPT-ON-CHANGE
Each of the PORTA pins is individually configurable as
an interrupt-on-change pin. Control bits IOCAx enable
or disable the interrupt function for each pin. Refer to
Register 4-4. The interrupt-on-change is disabled on a
Power-on Reset.
For enabled interrupt-on-change pins, the values are
compared with the old value latched on the last read of
PORTA. The ‘mismatch’ outputs of the last read are
OR’d together to set the PORTA Change Interrupt Flag
bit (RAIF) in the INTCON register.
This interrupt can wake the device from Sleep. The
user, in the Interrupt Service Routine, clears the
interrupt by:
a)
Any read or write of PORTA. This will end the
mismatch condition, then
Clear the flag bit RAIF.
b)
A mismatch condition will continue to set flag bit RAIF.
Reading PORTA will end the mismatch condition and
allow flag bit RAIF to be cleared. The latch holding the
last read value is not affected by a MCLR nor BOD
Reset. After these Resets, the RAIF flag will continue
to be set if a mismatch is present.
Note:
REGISTER 4-4:
If a change on the I/O pin should occur
when the read operation is being executed
(start of the Q2 cycle), then the RAIF
interrupt flag may not get set.

ULTRA LOW-POWER WAKE-UP
EXAMPLE 4-2:
The Ultra Low-Power Wake-up (ULPWU) on RA0
allows a slow falling voltage to generate an interrupton-change on RA0 without excess current consumption. The mode is selected by setting the ULPWUE bit
(PCON<5>). This enables a small current sink which
can be used to discharge a capacitor on RA0.
To use this feature, the RA0 pin is configured to output
‘1’ to charge the capacitor, interrupt-on-change for RA0
is enabled, and RA0 is configured as an input. The
ULPWUE bit is set to begin the discharge and a SLEEP
instruction is performed. When the voltage on RA0 drops
below VIL, an interrupt will be generated which will cause
the device to wake-up. Depending on the state of the
GIE bit (INTCON<7>), the device will either jump to the
interrupt vector (0004h) or execute the next instruction
when the interrupt event occurs. See Section 4.2.2
“INTERRUPT-ON-CHANGE” and Section 11.5.3
“PORTA Interrupt” for more information.

This feature provides a low-power technique for
periodically waking up the device from Sleep. The
time-out is dependent on the discharge time of the RC
circuit on RA0. See Example 4-2 for initializing the
Ultra Low-Power Wake-up module.
The series resistor provides overcurrent protection for
the RA0 pin and can allow for software calibration of
the time-out. (see Figure 4-1). A timer can be used to
measure the charge time and discharge time of the
capacitor. The charge time can then be adjusted to
provide the desired interrupt delay. This technique will
compensate for the affects of temperature, voltage and
component accuracy. The Ultra Low-Power Wake-up
peripheral can also be configured as a simple
programmable low voltage detect or temperature
sensor.

TIMER0 MODULE
Counter mode is selected by setting the T0CS bit
(OPTION_REG<5>). In this mode, the Timer0 module
will increment either on every rising or falling edge of
pin RA2/T0CKI. The incrementing edge is determined
by
the
source
edge
(T0SE)
control
bit
(OPTION_REG<4>). Clearing the T0SE bit selects the
rising edge.

Additional information on the Timer0
module is available in the “PICmicro® MidRange MCU Family Reference Manual”
(DS33023).
Timer0 Interrupt
A Timer0 interrupt is generated when the TMR0 register timer/counter overflows from FFh to 00h. This overflow sets the T0IF bit (INTCON<2>). The interrupt can
be masked by clearing the T0IE bit (INTCON<5>). The
T0IF bit must be cleared in software by the Timer0
module Interrupt Service Routine before re-enabling
this interrupt. The Timer0 interrupt cannot wake the
processor from Sleep, since the timer is shut off during
Sleep.
Timer0 Operation
Timer mode is selected by clearing the T0CS bit
(OPTION_REG<5>). In Timer mode, the Timer0
module will increment every instruction cycle (without
prescaler). If TMR0 is written, the increment is inhibited
for the following two instruction cycles. The user can
work around this by writing an adjusted value to the
TMR0 register.

Counter mode has specific external clock
requirements. Additional information on

Using Timer0 with an External
Clock
When no prescaler is used, the external clock input is
the same as the prescaler output. The synchronization
of T0CKI, with the internal phase clocks, is accomplished by sampling the prescaler output on the Q2 and
Q4 cycles of the internal phase clocks. Therefore, it is
necessary for T0CKI to be high for at least 2 TOSC (and
a small RC delay of 20 ns) and low for at least 2 TOSC
(and a small RC delay of 20 ns). Refer to the electrical
specification of the desired device.
Note:
The ANSEL (91h) and CMCON0 (19h)
registers must be initialized to configure
an analog channel as a digital input. Pins
configured as analog inputs will read ‘0’.

EXAMPLE 5-1:
Prescaler
An 8-bit counter is available as a prescaler for the
Timer0 module, or as a postscaler for the Watchdog
Timer. For simplicity, this counter will be referred to as
“prescaler” throughout this data sheet. The prescaler
assignment is controlled in software by the control bit
PSA (OPTION_REG<3>). Clearing the PSA bit will
assign the prescaler to Timer0. Prescale values are
selectable via the PS<2:0> bits (OPTION_REG<2:0>).
The prescaler is not readable or writable. When
assigned to the Timer0 module, all instructions writing
to the TMR0 register (e.g., CLRF 1, MOVWF 1,
BSF 1, x....etc.) will clear the prescaler. When
assigned to WDT, a CLRWDT instruction will clear the
prescaler along with the Watchdog Timer.
5.4.1
SWITCHING PRESCALER
ASSIGNMENT
The prescaler assignment is fully under software control
(i.e., it can be changed “on-the-fly” during program
execution). To avoid an unintended device Reset, the
following instruction sequence (Example 5-1 and
Example 5-2) must be executed when changing the
prescaler assignment from Timer0 to WDT.

6.1
Timer1 Modes of Operation
6.3
Timer1 can operate in one of three modes:
• 16-bit timer with prescaler
• 16-bit synchronous counter
• 16-bit asynchronous counter
In Timer mode, Timer1 is incremented on every instruction cycle. In Counter mode, Timer1 is incremented on
the rising edge of the external clock input T1CKI. In
addition, the Counter mode clock can be synchronized
to the microcontroller system clock or run
asynchronously.
In Counter and Timer modules, the counter/timer clock
can be gated by the Timer1 gate, which can be
selected as either the T1G pin or Comparator 2 output.
If an external clock oscillator is needed (and the
microcontroller is using the INTOSC without CLKOUT),
Timer1 can use the LP oscillator as a clock source.
Note:
6.2
In Counter mode, a falling edge must be
registered by the counter prior to the first
incrementing rising edge.
Timer1 has four prescaler options allowing 1, 2, 4 or 8
divisions of the clock input. The T1CKPS bits
(T1CON<5:4>) 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.
6.4
Timer1 Gate
Timer1 gate source is software configurable to be the
T1G pin or the output of Comparator 2. This allows the
device to directly time external events using T1G or
analog events using Comparator 2. See CMCON1
(Register 7-2) for selecting the Timer1 gate source.
This feature can simplify the software for a Delta-Sigma
A/D converter and many other applications. For more
information on Delta-Sigma A/D converters, see the
Microchip web site (www.microchip.com).
Note:
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 (PIR1<0>) is set. To
enable the interrupt on rollover, you must set these bits:
Timer1 Prescaler
TMR1GE bit (T1CON<6>) must be set to
use either T1G or C2OUT as the Timer1
gate source. See Register 7-2 for more
information on selecting the Timer1 gate
source.
Timer1 gate can be inverted using the T1GINV bit
(T1CON<7>), whether it originates from the T1G pin or
Comparator 2 output. This configures Timer1 to
measure either the active-high or active-low time
between events.
• Timer1 Interrupt Enable bit (PIE1<0>)
• PEIE bit (INTCON<6>)
• GIE bit (INTCON<7>)
The interrupt is cleared by clearing the TMR1IF bit in
the Interrupt Service Routine.
Note:
The TMR1H:TTMR1L register pair and the
TMR1IF bit should be cleared before
enabling interrupts.

Timer1 Operation in
Asynchronous Counter Mode
6.6
A crystal oscillator circuit is built-in between pins OSC1
(input) and OSC2 (amplifier output). It is enabled by
setting control bit, T1OSCEN (T1CON<3>). The oscillator is a low power oscillator rated up to 32 kHz. It will
continue to run during Sleep. It is primarily intended for
a 32 kHz crystal. Table 3-1 shows the capacitor selection for the Timer1 oscillator.
If control bit T1SYNC (T1CON<2>) is set, the external
clock input is not synchronized. The timer continues to
increment asynchronous to the internal phase clocks.
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 6.5.1 “Reading and Writing Timer1 in
Asynchronous Counter Mode”).
Note:
6.5.1
The Timer1 oscillator is shared with the system LP
oscillator. Thus, Timer1 can use this mode only when
the primary system clock is derived from the internal
oscillator. As with the system LP oscillator, the user
must provide a software time delay to ensure proper
oscillator start-up.
The ANSEL (91h) and CMCON0 (19h)
registers must be initialized to configure an
analog channel as a digital input. Pins
configured as analog inputs will read ‘0’.
TRISA5 and TRISA4 bits are set when the Timer1
oscillator is enabled. RA5 and RA4 read as ‘0’ and
TRISA5 and TRISA4 bits read as ‘1’.
READING AND WRITING TIMER1 IN
ASYNCHRONOUS COUNTER
MODE
Note:
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.
6.7
0Bh/
8Bh
Timer1 Operation During Sleep
• Timer1 must be on (T1CON<0>)
• TMR1IE bit (PIE1<0>) must be set
• PEIE bit (INTCON<6>) must be set
Reading the 16-bit value requires some care.
Examples in the “PICmicro® Mid-Range MCU Family
Reference Manual” (DS33023) show how to read and
write Timer1 when it is running in Asynchronous mode.
Addr
The oscillator requires a start-up and
stabilization time before use. Thus,
T1OSCEN should be set and a suitable
delay observed prior to enabling Timer1.
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:
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 timer register.
TABLE 6-1:
Timer1 Oscillator
The device will wake-up on an overflow. If the GIE bit
(INTCON<7>) is set, the device will wake-up and jump
to the Interrupt Service Routine (0004h) on an overflow.
If the GIE bit is clear, execution will continue with the
next instruction.

COMPARATOR MODULE
The comparator module contains two analog
comparators. The inputs to the comparators are
multiplexed with I/O port pins RA0, RA1, RC0 and RC1,
while the outputs are multiplexed to pins RA2 and RC4.
An on-chip Comparator Voltage Reference (CVREF)
can also be applied to the inputs of the comparators.
REGISTER 7-1:
The CMCON0 register (Register 7-1) controls the
comparator input and output multiplexers. A block

Comparator Operation
7.2
A single comparator is shown in Figure 7-1 along with
the relationship between the analog input levels and
the digital output. When the analog input at VIN+ is less
than the analog input VIN-, the output of the comparator
is a digital low level. When the analog input at VIN+ is
greater than the analog input VIN-, the output of the
comparator is a digital high level. The shaded areas of
the output of the comparator in Figure 7-1 represent
the uncertainty due to input offsets and response time.
Note:
To use CIN+ and CIN- pins as analog
inputs, the appropriate bits must be
programmed in the CMCON0 (19h)
register.
The polarity of the comparator output can be inverted
by setting the CxINV bits (CMCON0<5:4>). Clearing
CxINV results in a non-inverted output. A complete
table showing the output state versus input conditions
and the polarity bit is shown in Table 7-1.
TABLE 7-1:
A simplified circuit for an analog input is shown in
Figure 7-2. Since the analog pins are connected to a
digital output, they have reverse biased 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 kΩ is recommended
for the analog sources. Any external component
connected to an analog input pin, such as a capacitor
or a Zener diode, should have very little leakage
current.
Note 1: When reading the PORT register, all pins
configured as analog inputs will read as a
‘0’. Pins configured as digital inputs will
convert as analog inputs 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.

Comparator Outputs
7.5
The comparator outputs are read through the
CMCON0 register. These bits are read-only. The
comparator outputs may also be directly output to the
RA2 and RC4 I/O pins. When enabled, multiplexors in
the output path of the RA2 and RC4 pins will switch
and the output of each pin will be the unsynchronized
output of the comparator. The uncertainty of each of
the comparators is related to the input offset voltage
and the response time given in the specifications.
Figure 7-4 and Figure 7-5 show the output block
diagram for Comparator 1 and 2.
The TRIS bits will still function as an output enable/
disable for the RA2 and RC4 pins while in this mode.
The polarity of the comparator outputs can be changed
using the C1INV and C2INV bits (CMCON0<5:4>).
Timer1 gate source can be configured to use the T1G
pin or Comparator 2 output as selected by the T1GSS
bit (CMCON1<1>). This feature can be used to time the
duration or interval of analog events. The output of
Comparator 2 can also be synchronized with Timer1 by
setting the C2SYNC bit (CMCON1<0>). When
enabled, the output of Comparator 2 is latched on the
falling edge of Timer1 clock source. If a prescaler is
used with Timer1, Comparator 2 is latched after the
prescaler. To prevent a race condition, the Comparator
2 output is latched on the falling edge of the Timer1
clock source and Timer1 increments on the rising edge
of its clock source. See (Figure 7-5), Comparator 2
Block Diagram and (Figure 6-1), Timer1 Block Diagram
for more information.
x = Bit is unknown
Comparator Interrupts
The comparator interrupt flags are set whenever there
is a change in the output value of its respective comparator. Software will need to maintain information about
the status of the output bits, as read from
CMCON0<7:6>, to determine the actual change that
has occurred. The CxIF bits, PIR1<4:3>, are the
Comparator Interrupt flags. This bit must be reset in
software by clearing it to ‘0’. Since it is also possible to
write a ‘1’ to this register, a simulated interrupt may be
initiated.
The CxIE bits (PIE1<4:3>) and the PEIE bit
(INTCON<6>) must be set to enable the interrupts. In
addition, the GIE bit must also be set. If any of these
bits are cleared, the interrupt is not enabled, though the
CxIF bits will still be set if an interrupt condition occurs.
The user, in the Interrupt Service Routine, can clear the
interrupt in the following manner:
a)
Any read or write of CMCON0. This will end the
mismatch condition.
Clear flag bit CxIF
b)
A mismatch condition will continue to set flag bit CxIF.
Reading CMCON0 will end the mismatch condition and
allow flag bits CxIF to be cleared.
Note:
If a change in the CMCON0 register
(CxOUT) should occur when a read
operation is being executed (start of the Q2
cycle), then the CxIF (PIR1<3>) interrupt
flag may not get set.
It is recommended to synchronize Comparator 2 with
Timer1 by setting the C2SYNC bit when Comparator 2
is used as the Timer1 gate source. This ensures Timer1
does not miss an increment if Comparator 2 changes
during an increment.

Comparator Reference
The comparator module also allows the selection of an
internally generated voltage reference for one of the
comparator inputs. The VRCON register, Register 7-3,
controls the voltage reference module shown in
Figure 7-6.
7.6.1
CONFIGURING THE VOLTAGE
REFERENCE
The voltage reference can output 32 distinct voltage
levels, 16 in a high range and 16 in a low range.
The following equation determines the output voltages:
EQUATION 7-1:
VRR = 1 (low range): CVREF = (VR3:VR0/24) x VDD
VOLTAGE REFERENCE
ACCURACY/ERROR
The full range of VSS to VDD cannot be realized due to
the construction of the module. The transistors on the
top and bottom of the resistor ladder network
(Figure 7-6) keep CVREF from approaching VSS or
VDD. The exception is when the module is disabled by
clearing the VREN bit (VRCON<7>). When disabled,
the reference voltage is VSS when VR<3:0> = 0000.
This allows the comparators to detect a zero-crossing
and not consume CVREF module current.
The voltage reference is VDD derived and therefore, the
CVREF output changes with fluctuations in VDD. The
tested absolute accuracy of the comparator voltage
reference can be found in Section 14.0 “Electrical
Specifications”.
VRR = 0 (high range):
CVREF = (VDD/4) + (VR3:VR0 x VDD/32)

7.7
Comparator Response Time
7.9
Response time is the minimum time, after selecting a
new reference voltage or input source, before the
comparator output is ensured to have a valid level. If
the internal reference is changed, the maximum delay
of the internal voltage reference must be considered
when using the comparator outputs. Otherwise, the
maximum delay of the comparators should be used
(Table 14-9).
7.8
Effects of a Reset
A device Reset forces the CMCON0, CMCON1 and
VRCON registers to their Reset states. This forces the
comparator module to be in the Comparator Reset
mode, CM<2:0> = 000 and the voltage reference to its
off state. Thus, all potential inputs are analog inputs
with the comparator and voltage reference disabled to
consume the smallest current possible.
Operation During Sleep
The comparators and voltage reference, if enabled
before entering Sleep mode, remain active during
Sleep. This results in higher Sleep currents than shown
in the power-down specifications. The additional
current consumed by the comparator and the voltage
reference is shown separately in the specifications. To
minimize power consumption while in Sleep mode, turn
off the comparator, CM<2:0> = 111, and voltage
reference, VRCON<7> = 0.
While the comparator is enabled during Sleep, an
interrupt will wake-up the device. If the GIE bit
(INTCON<7>) is set, the device will jump to the interrupt vector (0004h), and if clear, continues execution
with the next instruction. If the device wakes up from
Sleep, the contents of the CMCON0, CMCON1 and
VRCON registers are not affected.

ANALOG-TO-DIGITAL
CONVERTER (A/D) MODULE
The output of the sample and hold is connected to the
input of the converter. The converter generates a
binary result via successive approximation and stores
the result in a 10-bit register. The voltage reference
used in the conversion is software selectable to either
VDD or a voltage applied by the VREF pin. Figure 8-1
shows the block diagram of the A/D on the PIC16F688.
The analog-to-digital converter (A/D) allows conversion
of an analog input signal to a 10-bit binary representation of that signal. The PIC16F688 has eight analog
inputs, multiplexed into one sample and hold circuit.

A/D Configuration and Operation
There are three registers available to control the
functionality of the A/D module:

ADCON0 (Register 8-2)
ADCON1 (Register 8-3)
8.1.1
8.1.3
VOLTAGE REFERENCE
There are two options for the voltage reference to the
A/D converter: either VDD is used, or an analog voltage
applied to VREF is used. The VCFG bit (ADCON0<6>)
controls the voltage reference selection. If VCFG is set,
then the voltage on the VREF pin is the reference;
otherwise, VDD is the reference.
ANALOG PORT PINS
The ANS<7:0> bits (ANSEL<7:0>) and the TRIS bits
control the operation of the A/D port pins. Set the
corresponding TRIS bits to set the pin output driver to
its high-impedance state. Likewise, set the
corresponding ANSEL bit to disable the digital input
buffer.
Note:
8.1.2
Analog voltages on any pin that is defined
as a digital input may cause the input
buffer to conduct excess current.
CHANNEL SELECTION
There are eight analog channels on the PIC16F688,
AN0
through
AN7.
The
CHS<2:0>
bits
(ADCON0<4:2>) control which channel is connected to
the sample and hold circuit.

CONVERSION CLOCK
The A/D conversion cycle requires 11 TAD. The source
of the conversion clock is software selectable via the
ADCS bits (ADCON1<6:4>). There are seven possible
clock options:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
For correct conversion, the A/D conversion clock
(1/TAD) must be selected to ensure a minimum TAD of
1.6 µs. Table 8-1 shows a few TAD calculations for
selected frequencies.

4: When the device frequency is greater than 1 MHz, the A/D RC clock source is only recommended if the
conversion will be performed during Sleep.
8.1.5
STARTING A CONVERSION
The A/D conversion is initiated by setting the
GO/DONE bit (ADCON0<1>). When the conversion is
complete, the A/D module:
• Clears the GO/DONE bit
• Sets the ADIF flag (PIR1<6>)
• Generates an interrupt (if enabled)
If the conversion must be aborted, the GO/DONE bit
can be cleared in software. The ADRESH:ADRESL
registers will not be updated with the partially complete
A/D
conversion
sample.
Instead,
the
ADRESH:ADRESL registers will retain the value of the
previous conversion. After an aborted conversion, a
2 TAD delay is required before another acquisition can
be initiated. Following the delay, an input acquisition is
automatically started on the selected channel.
Note:
The GO/DONE bit should not be set in the
same instruction that turns on the A/D.

CONFIGURING THE A/D
EXAMPLE 8-1:
After the A/D module has been configured as desired,
the selected channel must be acquired before the
conversion is started. The analog input channels must
have their corresponding TRIS bits selected as inputs.
To determine sample time, see Section 14.0 “Electrical
Specifications”. After this sample time has elapsed, the
A/D conversion can be started.
These steps should be followed for an A/D conversion:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
Configure the A/D module:
• Configure analog/digital I/O (ANSEL)
• Configure voltage reference (ADCON0)
• Select A/D input channel (ADCON0)
• Select A/D conversion clock (ADCON1)
• Turn on A/D module (ADCON0)
Configure A/D interrupt (if desired):
• Clear ADIF bit (PIR1<6>)
• Set ADIE bit (PIE1<6>)
• Set PEIE and GIE bits (INTCON<7:6>)
Wait the required acquisition time.
Start conversion:
• Set GO/DONE bit (ADCON0<0>)
Wait for A/D conversion to complete, by either:
• Polling for the GO/DONE bit to be cleared
(with interrupts disabled); OR
• Waiting for the A/D interrupt
Read A/D Result register pair
(ADRESH:ADRESL), clear bit ADIF if required.
For next conversion, go to step 1 or step 2 as
required. The A/D conversion time per bit is
defined as TAD. A minimum wait of 2 TAD is
required before the next acquisition starts.

A/D Acquisition Requirements
For the A/D converter 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 8-4. 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), see
Figure 8-4.
The
maximum
recommended
impedance for analog sources is 10 kΩ.
EQUATION 8-1:
As the impedance is decreased, the acquisition time
may be decreased. After the analog input channel is
selected (changed), this acquisition must be done
before the conversion can be started.
To calculate the minimum acquisition time, Equation 8-1
may be used. This equation assumes that 1/2 LSb error is
used (1024 steps for the A/D). The 1/2 LSb error is the
maximum error allowed for the A/D to meet its specified
resolution.
To calculate the minimum acquisition time, TACQ, see
the “PICmicro® Mid-Range MCU Family Reference
Manual” (DS33023).
ACQUISITION TIME
TACQ = Amplifier Settling Time + Hold Capacitor Charging Time + Temperature Coefficient
= TAMP + TC + TCOFF
= 2 µs + TC + [(Temperature -25°C)(0.05 µs/°C)]
TC = CHOLD (RIC + RSS + RS) In(1/2047)
= -120 pF(1 kΩ + 7 kΩ + 10 kΩ) In(0.0004885)
= 16.47 µs
TACQ = 2 µs + 16.47 µs + [(50°C -25°C)(0.05 µs/°C)]
= 19.72 µs
Note 1: The reference voltage (VREF) has no effect on the equation, since it cancels itself out.
2: The charge holding capacitor (CHOLD) is not discharged after each conversion.
3: The maximum recommended impedance for analog sources is 10 kΩ. This is required to meet the pin
leakage specification.

A/D Operation During Sleep
The A/D converter module can operate during Sleep.
This requires the A/D clock source to be set to the
internal oscillator. When the RC clock source is
selected, the A/D waits one instruction before starting
the conversion. This allows the SLEEP instruction to be
executed, thus eliminating much of the switching noise
from the conversion. When the conversion is complete,
the GO/DONE bit is cleared and the result is loaded
into the ADRESH:ADRESL registers. If the A/D
FIGURE 8-5:
interrupt is enabled, the device awakens from Sleep. If
the GIE bit (INTCON<7>) is set, the program counter is
set to the interrupt vector (0004h), if GIE is clear, the
next instruction is executed. If the A/D interrupt is not
enabled, the A/D module is turned off, although the
ADON bit remains set.
When the A/D clock source is something other than
RC, a SLEEP instruction causes the present conversion
to be aborted, and the A/D module is turned off. The
ADON bit remains set.

DATA EEPROM AND FLASH
PROGRAM MEMORY
CONTROL
9.1
Data EEPROM memory is readable and writable and
the Flash program memory is readable 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. There are six SFRs used to access these
memories:
•
•
•
•
•
•
EECON1
EECON2
EEDAT
EEDATH
EEADR
EEADRH
EEADR and EEADRH Registers
The EEADR and EEADRH registers can address up to
a maximum of 256 bytes of data EEPROM or up to a
maximum of 4K words of program EEPROM.
When selecting a program address value, the MSB of
the address is written to the EEADRH register and the
LSB is written to the EEADR register. When selecting a
data address value, only the LSB of the address is
written to the EEADR register.
9.1.1
EECON1 AND EECON2 REGISTERS
EECON1 is the control register for EE memory
accesses.
When interfacing the data memory block, EEDAT holds
the 8-bit data for read/write, and EEADR holds the
address of the EE data location being accessed. This
device has 256 bytes of data EEPROM with an address
range from 0h to 0FFh.
When interfacing the program memory block, the
EEDAT and EEDATH registers form a 2-byte word that
holds the 14-bit data for read/write, and the EEADR
and EEADRH registers form a 2-byte word that holds
the 12-bit address of the EEPROM location being
accessed. This device has 4K words of program
EEPROM with an address range from 0h to 0FFFh.
The program memory allows one word reads.
The EEPROM data memory allows byte read and write.
A 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.
When the device is code-protected, the CPU may
continue to read and write the data EEPROM memory
and read the program memory. When code-protected,
the device programmer can no longer access data or
program memory.
Control bit EEPGD determines if the access will be a
program or data memory access. When clear, as it is
when reset, any subsequent operations will operate on
the data memory. When set, any subsequent operations will operate on the program memory. Program
memory can only be read.
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
data EEPROM. On power-up, the WREN bit is clear.
The WRERR bit is set when a write operation is
interrupted by a MCLR or a WDT Time-out Reset
during normal operation. In these situations, following
Reset, the user can check the WRERR bit and rewrite
the location. The data and address will be unchanged
in the EEDAT and EEADR registers.
Interrupt flag bit EEIF (PIR1<7>), is set when write is
complete. It must be cleared in the software.
EECON2 is not a physical register. Reading EECON2
will read all ‘0’s. The EECON2 register is used
exclusively in the data EEPROM write sequence.
Additional information on the data EEPROM is
available in the “PICmicro® Mid-Range MCU Family
Reference Manual” (DS33023).

READING THE DATA EEPROM
MEMORY
9.1.3
WRITING TO THE DATA EEPROM
MEMORY
To read a data memory location, the user must write the
address to the EEADR register, clear the EEPGD
control bit (EECON1<7>), and then set control bit RD
(EECON1<0>). The data is available in the very next
cycle, in the EEDAT register; therefore, it can be read
in the next instruction. EEDAT will hold this value until
another read or until it is written to by the user (during
a write operation).
To write an EEPROM data location, the user must first
write the address to the EEADR register and the data
to the EEDAT register. Then the user must follow a
specific sequence to initiate the write for each byte.
EXAMPLE 9-1:
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.

The write will not initiate if the above sequence is not
followed exactly (write 55h to EECON2, write AAh to
EECON2, then set WR bit) for each byte. Interrupts
should be disabled during this code segment.
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.

READING THE FLASH PROGRAM
MEMORY
To read a program memory location, the user must
write two bytes of the address to the EEADR and
EEADRH registers, set the EEPGD control bit
(EECON1<7>), and then set control bit RD
(EECON1<0>). 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 EEDAT and
EEDATH registers; therefore, it can be read as two
bytes in the following instructions.
EXAMPLE 9-3:

BCF

EEDAT and EEDATH registers will hold this value until
another read or until it is written to by the user (during
a write operation).
Note 1: The two instructions following a program
memory read are required to be NOP’s.
This prevents the user from executing a
two-cycle instruction on the next
instruction after the RD bit is set.
2: If the WR bit is set when EEPGD = 1, it
will be immediately reset to ‘0’ and no
operation will take place.

ENHANCED UNIVERSAL
ASYNCHRONOUS RECEIVER
TRANSMITTER (EUSART)
The Enhanced Universal Synchronous Asynchronous
Receiver Transmitter (EUSART) module is the serial
I/O module available for PIC16F688 . (EUSART is also
known as a Serial Communications Interface or SCI).
The EUSART can be configured as a full-duplex
asynchronous system that can communicate with
peripheral devices, such as CRT terminals and
personal computers. It can also be configured as a
half-duplex synchronous system that can communicate
with peripheral devices, such as A/D or D/A integrated
circuits, serial EEPROMs, etc.
The EUSART module implements additional features,
including automatic baud rate detection and
calibration, automatic wake-up on Break reception and
13-bit Break character transmit. These make it ideally
suited for use in Local Interconnect Network (LIN) bus
systems.
10.1
Clock Accuracy With
Asynchronous Operation
The factory calibrates the internal oscillator block output (INTOSC) for 8 MHz. However, this 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 INTOSC output back to 8 MHz.
Adjusting the value in the OSCTUNE register allows for
fine resolution changes to the system clock source (see
Section 3.4 “Internal Clock Modes” for more
information).
The other method adjusts the value in the baud rate
generator. There may not be fine enough resolution
when adjusting the Baud Rate Generator to compensate
for a gradual change in the peripheral clock frequency.
The USART can be configured in the following modes:
• Asynchronous (full-duplex) with:
- Auto-wake-up on Break
- Auto baud calibration
- 13-bit Break character transmission
• Synchronous – Master (half-duplex) with
selectable clock polarity
• Synchronous – Slave (half-duplex) with selectable
clock polarity
In order to configure pins RC4/C2OUT/TX/CK and
RC5/RX/DT
as
the
Universal
Synchronous
Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter:
• SPEN (RCSTA<7>) bit must be set (= 1),
• TRISC<5> bit must be set (= 1), and
• TRISC<4> bit must be set (= 1).
Note:
The USART control will automatically
reconfigure the pin from input to output as
needed.
The operation of the EUSART module is controlled
through three registers:
• Transmit Status and Control (TXSTA)
• Receive Status and Control (RCSTA)
• Baud Rate Control (BAUDCTL)
These are detailed in on the following pages in
Register 10-1, Register 10-2 and Register 10-3,
respectively.

10.2.1
USART Baud Rate Generator
(BRG)
The BRG is a dedicated 8-bit or 16-bit generator, that
supports both the Asynchronous and Synchronous
modes of the USART. By default, the BRG operates in
8-bit mode; setting the BRG16 bit (BAUDCTL<3>)
selects 16-bit mode.
The data on the RC5/RX/DT pin is sampled three times
by a majority detect circuit to determine if a high or a
low level is present at the RX pin.
EXAMPLE 10-1:
The SPBRGH:SPBRG register pair controls the period
of a free running timer. In Asynchronous mode, bits
BRGH (TXSTA<2>) and BRG16 also control the baud
rate. In Synchronous mode, bit BRGH is ignored.
Table 10-1 shows the formula for computation of the
baud rate for different USART modes, which only apply
in Master mode (internally generated clock).
Given the desired baud rate and FOSC, the nearest
integer value for the SPBRGH:SPBRG registers can be
calculated using the formulas in Table 10-1. From this,
the error in baud rate can be determined. An example
calculation is shown in Example 10-1. Typical baud
rates and error values for the various asynchronous
modes are shown in Table 10-2. It may be advantageous to use the high baud rate (BRGH = 1), or the
16-bit BRG to reduce the baud rate error, or achieve a
slow baud rate for a fast oscillator frequency.
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
and make sure that the receive operation is IDLE
before changing the system clock.
CALCULATING BAUD
RATE ERROR
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 ( [SPBRGH:SPBRG] + 1 )
Solving for SPBRGH:SPBRG:
FOSC
-------------------------------------------Desired Baud Rate
X = --------------------------------------------- – 1
64
16000000
-----------------------9600
= ------------------------ – 1
64
= [ 25.042 ] = 25
16000000
Calculated Baud Rate = --------------------------64 ( 25 + 1 )
= 9615
Writing a new value to the SPBRGH:SPBRG registers
causes the BRG timer to be reset (or cleared). This
ensures the BRG does not wait for a timer overflow
before outputting the new baud rate.
TABLE 10-1:
SAMPLING
Calc. Baud Rate – Desired Baud Rate
Error = -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Desired Baud Rate
( 9615 – 9600 )
= ---------------------------------- = 0.16%

When BRGH = 1 and BRG16 = 1 then
SPBRGH:SPBRG values ≤ 4 are invalid.

AUTO BAUD RATE DETECT
The EUSART module supports the automatic detection
and calibration of baud rate. This feature is active only
in Asynchronous mode and while the WUE bit is clear.
The automatic baud rate measurement sequence
(Figure 10-1) begins whenever a Start bit is received
and the ABDEN bit is set. The calculation is selfaveraging.
In the Auto Baud Rate Detect (ABD) mode, the clock to
the BRG is reversed. Rather than the BRG clocking the
incoming RX signal, the RX signal is timing the BRG. In
ABD mode, the internal baud rate generator is used as
a counter to time the bit period of the incoming serial
byte stream.
Once the ABDEN bit is set, the state machine will clear
the BRG and look for a Start bit. The Auto Baud Detect
must receive a byte with the value 55h (ASCII “U”,
which is also the LIN bus sync character), in order to
calculate the proper bit rate. The measurement takes
over both a low and a high bit time in order to minimize
any effects caused by asymmetry of the incoming
signal. After a Start bit, the SPBRG begins counting up
using the preselected clock source on the first rising
edge of RX. After eight bits on the RX pin, or the fifth
rising edge, an accumulated value totalling the proper
BRG period is left in the SPBRGH:SPBRG registers.
Once the 5th edge is seen (should correspond to the
Stop bit), the ABDEN bit is automatically cleared.
While calibrating the baud rate period, the BRG
registers are clocked at 1/8th the pre-configured clock
rate. Note that the BRG clock will be configured by the
BRG16 and BRGH bits. Independent of the BRG16 bit
setting, both the SPBRG and SPBRGH will be used as
a 16-bit counter. This allows the user to verify that no
carry occurred for 8-bit modes, by checking for 00h in
the SPBRGH register. Refer to Table 10-4 for counter
clock rates to the BRG.
DS41203B-page 84
While the ABD sequence takes place, the USART state
machine is held in IDLE. The RCIF interrupt is set once
the fifth rising edge on RX is detected. The value in the
RCREG needs to be read to clear the RCIF interrupt.
RCREG content should be discarded.
Note 1: If the WUE bit is set with the ABDEN bit,
auto baud rate detection will occur on the
byte following the Break character (see
Section 10.3.4
“Auto-Wake-up
on
SYNC Break Character”).
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 USART baud rates are not
possible due to bit error rates. Overall
system timing and communication baud
rates must be taken into consideration
when using the Auto Baud Rate Detection
feature.

USART Asynchronous Mode
The Asynchronous mode of operation is selected by
clearing the SYNC bit (TXSTA<4>). In this mode, the
USART uses standard non-return-to-zero (NRZ) format
(one Start bit, eight or nine data bits and one Stop bit).
The most common data format is 8 bits. An on-chip
dedicated 8-bit/16-bit baud rate generator can be used
to derive standard baud rate frequencies from the
oscillator.
The USART transmits and receives the LSb first. The
USART’s transmitter and receiver are functionally independent, but use the same data format and baud rate.
The baud rate generator produces a clock, either x16
or x64 of the bit shift rate, depending on the BRGH and
BRG16 bits (TXSTA<2> and BAUDCTL<3>). Parity is
not supported by the hardware, but can be
implemented in software and stored as the 9th data bit.
Asynchronous mode is available in all times. It is available in Sleep mode only when auto-wake-up on Sync
Break is enabled. The baud rate generator values may
need to be adjusted if the clocks are changed.
When operating in Asynchronous mode, the USART
module consists of the following important elements:

TRANSMITTER
The USART transmitter block diagram is shown in
Figure 10-2. The heart of the transmitter is the Transmit
(serial) Shift Register (TSR). The shift register obtains
its data from the read/write transmit buffer, TXREG. The
TXREG register is loaded with data in software. The
TSR register is not loaded until the Stop bit has been
transmitted from the previous load. As soon as the Stop
bit is transmitted, the TSR is loaded with new data from
the TXREG register (if available).
Once the TXREG register transfers the data to the TSR
register (occurs in one TCY), the TXREG register is
empty and flag bit TXIF (PIR1<4>) is set. This interrupt
can be enabled/disabled by setting/clearing enable bit
TXIE (PIE1<4>). Flag bit TXIF will be set, regardless of
the state of enable bit TXIE and cannot be cleared in
software. Flag bit TXIF is not cleared immediately upon
loading the transmit buffer register TXREG. TXIF
becomes valid in the second instruction cycle following
the load instruction. Polling TXIF immediately following
a load of TXREG will return invalid results.
While flag bit TXIF indicates the status of the TXREG
register, another bit, TRMT (TXSTA<1>), shows the
status of the TSR register. Status bit TRMT is a read
only bit, which is set when the TSR register is empty.
No interrupt logic is tied to this bit, so the user has to
poll this bit in order to determine if the TSR register is
empty.
Note 1: The TSR register is not mapped in data
memory, so it is not available to the user.
2: Flag bit TXIF is set when enable bit TXEN
is set.
To set up an Asynchronous Transmission:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
Initialize the SPBRGH:SPBRG registers for the
appropriate baud rate. Set or clear the BRGH
and BRG16 bits, as required, to achieve the
desired baud rate.
Enable the asynchronous serial port by clearing
bit SYNC and setting bit SPEN.
If interrupts are desired, set enable bit TXIE.
If 9-bit transmission is desired, set transmit bit
TX9. Can be used as address/data bit.
Enable the transmission by setting bit TXEN,
which will also set bit TXIF.
If 9-bit transmission is selected, the ninth bit
should be loaded in bit TX9D.
Load data to the TXREG register (starts
transmission).
If using interrupts, ensure that the GIE and PEIE bits in
the INTCON register (INTCON<7:6>) are set.

USART ASYNCHRONOUS
RECEIVER
10.3.3
The receiver block diagram is shown in Figure 10-5.
The data is received on the RC5/RX/DT 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 main receive serial shifter operates at the bit rate or at FOSC. This mode would typically be used in RS-232 systems.
This mode would typically be used in RS-485 systems.
To set up an Asynchronous Reception with Address
Detect Enable:
1.
Initialize the SPBRGH:SPBRG registers for the
appropriate baud rate. Set or clear the BRGH
and BRG16 bits, as required, to achieve the
desired baud rate.
2. Enable the asynchronous serial port by clearing
the SYNC bit and setting the SPEN bit.
3. If interrupts are required, set the RCEN bit and
select the desired priority level with the RCIP bit.
4. Set the RX9 bit to enable 9-bit reception.
5. Set the ADDEN bit to enable address detect.
6. Enable reception by setting the CREN bit.
7. The RCIF bit will be set when reception is
complete. The interrupt will be acknowledged if
the RCIE and GIE bits are set.
8. Read the RCSTA register to determine if any
error occurred during reception, as well as read
bit 9 of data (if applicable).
9. Read RCREG to determine if the device is being
addressed.
10. If any error occurred, clear the CREN bit.
11. If the device has been addressed, clear the
ADDEN bit to allow all received data into the
receive buffer and interrupt the CPU.
To set up an Asynchronous Reception:
1.
Initialize the SPBRGH:SPBRG registers for the
appropriate baud rate. Set or clear the BRGH
and BRG16 bits, as required, to achieve the
desired baud rate.
2. Enable the asynchronous serial port by clearing
bit SYNC and setting bit SPEN.
3. If interrupts are desired, set enable bit RCIE.
4. If 9-bit reception is desired, set bit RX9.
5. Enable the reception by setting bit CREN.
6. Flag bit RCIF will be set when reception is
complete and an interrupt will be generated if
enable bit RCIE was set.
7. Read the RCSTA register to get the 9th bit (if
enabled) and determine if any error occurred
during reception.
8. Read the 8-bit received data by reading the
RCREG register.
9. If any error occurred, clear the error by clearing
enable bit CREN.
10. If using interrupts, ensure that the GIE and PEIE
bits in the INTCON register (INTCON<7:6>) are
set.

AUTO-WAKE-UP ON SYNC BREAK
CHARACTER
The auto-wake-up feature allows the controller to
wake-up due to activity on the RX/DT line, despite the
baud clock being turned off. This allows communications systems to save power by only responding to
direct requests.
Setting the WUE bit (BAUDCTL<1>) enables the
auto-wake-up feature. When the auto-wake-up feature
is enabled, the next falling edge on the RX/DT line will
trigger an RCIF interrupt. The WUE bit will automatically clear after the rising RX/DT edge after triggering a
falling edge. Receiving a RCIF interrupt after setting
the WUE bit signals to the user that the wake-up event
has occurred. See Figure 10-7 and Figure 10-8 for
timing details of the auto-wake-up process.
10.3.4.1
Special Considerations Using
Auto- Wake-up
application must wait before receiving valid data.
Special care should be taken when using the
two-speed start-up or the fail-safe clock monitor
because the application will start running from the
internal oscillator before the primary oscillator is ready.
Because the auto-wake-up feature uses the RCIF flag
to signify the wake-up event, the application should
discard the data read from RCREG when servicing the
RCIF flag after setting the WUE bit.
When entering Sleep with auto-wake-up enabled, the
following procedure should be used.
1.
2.
Clear all interrupt flags including RCIF.
Check RCIDL to ensure no receive is currently
in progress.
No characters are being received so the WUE
bit can be set.
Sleep.
3.
4.
The auto-wake-up function is edge sensitive. To
prevent data errors or framing errors, the data following
the Break should be all ‘0’s until the baud clock is
stable. If the LP, XT or HS oscillators are used, the
oscillator start-up time will affect the amount of time the

10.3.5
BREAK CHARACTER SEQUENCE
The EUSART module has the capability of sending the
special Break character sequences that are required by
the LIN bus standard. The Break character transmit
consists of a Start bit, followed by 12 ‘0’ bits and a Stop
bit. The frame Break character is sent whenever the
SENDB and TXEN bits (TXSTA<3> and TXSTA<5>)
are set, while the Transmit Shift register is loaded with
data. Note that the value of data written to TXREG 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).
Note that the data value written to the TXREG for the
Break character is ignored. The write simply serves the
purpose of initiating the proper sequence.
The TRMT bit indicates when the transmit operation is
active or IDLE, just as it does during normal transmission. See Figure 10-9 for the timing of the Break
character sequence.
10.3.5.1
Break and Sync Transmit Sequence
The following sequence will send 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.
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Configure the USART for the desired mode.
Set the TXEN and SENDB bits to setup the
Break character.
Load the TXREG with a dummy character to
initiate transmission (the value is ignored).
Write ‘55h’ to TXREG to load the Sync character
into the transmit FIFO buffer.
After the Break has been sent, the SENDB bit is
reset by hardware. The Sync character now
transmits in the Pre-Configured mode.
When the TXREG becomes empty, as indicated by the
TXIF, the next data byte can be written to TXREG.
10.3.6
RECEIVING A BREAK CHARACTER
The Enhanced USART module can receive a Break
character in two ways.
The first method forces to configure the baud rate at a
frequency of 9/13 the typical speed. This allows for the
Stop bit transition to be at the correct sampling location
(13 bits for Break versus Start bit and 8 data bits for
typical data).
The second method uses the auto-wake-up feature
described in Section 10.3.4 “Auto-Wake-up on
SYNC Break Character”. By enabling this feature, the
USART will sample the next two transitions on RX/DT,
cause an RCIF 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 Rate Detect
feature. For both methods, the user can set the ABD bit
before placing the USART in its Sleep mode.

USART Synchronous Master
Mode
Once the TXREG register transfers the data to the TSR
register (occurs in one TCYCLE), the TXREG is empty
and interrupt bit TXIF (PIR1<4>) is set. The interrupt
can be enabled/disabled by setting/clearing enable bit
TXIE (PIE1<4>). Flag bit TXIF will be set, regardless of
the state of enable bit TXIE, and cannot be cleared in
software. It will reset only when new data is loaded into
the TXREG register.
The Synchronous Master mode is entered by setting
the CSRC bit (TXSTA<7>). In this mode, the data is
transmitted in a half-duplex manner (i.e., transmission
and reception do not occur at the same time). When
transmitting data, the reception is inhibited and vice
versa. Synchronous mode is entered by setting bit
SYNC (TXSTA<4>). In addition, enable bit SPEN
(RCSTA<7>) is set in order to configure the
RC4/C2OUT/TX/CK and RC5/RX/DT I/O pins to CK
(clock) and DT (data) lines, respectively.
While flag bit TXIF indicates the status of the TXREG
register, another bit, TRMT (TXSTA<1>), shows the
status of the TSR register. TRMT is a read-only bit,
which is set when the TSR is empty. No interrupt logic
is tied to this bit, so the user has to poll this bit in order
to determine if the TSR register is empty. The TSR is
not mapped in data memory, so it is not available to the
user.
The Master mode indicates that the processor transmits the master clock on the CK line. Clock polarity is
selected with the SCKP bit (BAUDCTL<5>); setting
SCKP sets the IDLE state on CK as high, while clearing
the bit, sets the IDLE state low. This option is provided
to support Microwire® devices with this module.

2.
The USART transmitter block diagram is shown in
Figure 10-2. The heart of the transmitter is the Transmit
(serial) Shift Register (TSR). The shift register obtains
its data from the read/write transmit buffer register
TXREG. The TXREG register is loaded with data in
software. The TSR register is not loaded until the last
bit has been transmitted from the previous load. As
soon as the last bit is transmitted, the TSR is loaded
with new data from the TXREG (if available).

USART SYNCHRONOUS MASTER
RECEPTION
To set up a Synchronous Master Reception:
1.
Initialize the SPBRGH:SPBRG registers for the
appropriate baud rate. Set or clear the BRGH
and BRG16 bits, as required, to achieve the
desired baud rate.
2. Enable the synchronous master serial port by
setting bits SYNC, SPEN and CSRC.
3. Ensure bits CREN and SREN are clear.
4. If interrupts are desired, set enable bit RCIE.
5. If 9-bit reception is desired, set bit RX9.
6. If a single reception is required, set bit SREN.
For continuous reception, set bit CREN.
7. Interrupt flag bit RCIF will be set when reception
is complete and an interrupt will be generated if
the enable bit RCIE was set.
8. Read the RCSTA register to get the 9th bit (if
enabled) and determine if any error occurred
during reception.
9. Read the 8-bit received data by reading the
RCREG register.
10. If any error occurred, clear the error by clearing
bit CREN.
11. If using interrupts, ensure that the GIE and PEIE
bits in the INTCON register (INTCON<7:6>) are
set.
Once Synchronous mode is selected, reception is
enabled by setting either the Single Receive Enable bit
SREN (RCSTA<5>), or the Continuous Receive
Enable bit, CREN (RCSTA<4>). Data is sampled on the
RC5/RX/DT pin on the falling edge of the clock.
If enable bit SREN is set, only a single word is received.
If enable bit CREN is set, the reception is continuous
until CREN is cleared. If both bits are set, then CREN
takes precedence.

USART Synchronous Slave Mode
To set up a Synchronous Slave Transmission:
1.
Synchronous Slave mode is entered by clearing bit
CSRC (TXSTA<7>). This mode differs from the
Synchronous Master mode in that the shift clock is
supplied externally at the RC4/C2OUT/TX/CK pin
(instead of being supplied internally in Master mode).
This allows the device to transfer or receive data while
in any Low-power mode.
10.5.1
Enable the synchronous slave serial port by
setting bits SYNC and SPEN and clearing bit
CSRC.
Clear bits CREN and SREN.
If interrupts are desired, set enable bit TXIE.
If 9-bit transmission is desired, set bit TX9.
Enable the transmission by setting enable bit
TXEN.
If 9-bit transmission is selected, the ninth bit
should be loaded in bit TX9D.
Start transmission by loading data to the TXREG
register.
If using interrupts, ensure that the GIE and PEIE
bits in the INTCON register (INTCON<7:6>) are
set.

6.
The operation of the Synchronous Master and Slave

If two words are written to the TXREG and then the
SLEEP instruction is executed, the following will occur:
a)
b)
c)
d)
e)
The first word will immediately transfer to the
TSR register and transmit.
The second word will remain in TXREG register.
Flag bit TXIF will not be set.
When the first word has been shifted out of TSR,
the TXREG register will transfer the second
word to the TSR and flag bit TXIF will now be
set.
If enable bit TXIE is set, the interrupt will wake
the chip from Sleep. If the global interrupt is
enabled, the program will branch to the interrupt
vector.

To set up a Synchronous Slave Reception:
1.
The operation of the Synchronous Master and Slave
modes is identical, except in the case of Sleep, or any
IDLE mode and bit SREN, which is a “don't care” in
Slave mode.
Enable the synchronous master serial port by

If interrupts are desired, set enable bit RCIE.
If 9-bit reception is desired, set bit RX9.
To enable reception, set enable bit CREN.
Flag bit RCIF will be set when reception is
complete. An interrupt will be generated if
enable bit RCIE was set.
Read the RCSTA register to get the 9th bit (if
enabled) and determine if any error occurred
during reception.
Read the 8-bit received data by reading the

SPECIAL FEATURES OF THE
CPU
The PIC16F688 has a host of features intended to
maximize system reliability, minimize cost through
elimination of external components, provide power
saving features and offer code protection.
These features are:
• Reset
- Power-on Reset (POR)
- Power-up Timer (PWRT)
- Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST)
- Brown-out Detect (BOD)
• Interrupts
• Watchdog Timer (WDT)
• Oscillator Selection
• Sleep
• Code Protection
• ID Locations
• In-Circuit Serial Programming
 2004 Microchip Technology Inc.
The PIC16F688 has two timers that offer necessary
delays on power-up. One is the Oscillator Start-up
Timer (OST), intended to keep the chip in Reset until
the crystal oscillator is stable. The other is the Powerup Timer (PWRT), which provides a fixed delay of
64 ms (nominal) on power-up only, designed to keep
the part in Reset while the power supply stabilizes.
There is also circuitry to reset the device if a brownout occurs, which can use the Power-up Timer to
provide at least a 64 ms Reset. With these three
functions-on-chip, most applications need no external
Reset circuitry.
The Sleep mode is designed to offer a very low -current
Power-down mode. The user can wake-up from Sleep
through:
• External Reset
• Watchdog Timer Wake-up
• An interrupt
Several oscillator options are also made available to
allow the part to fit the application. The INTOSC option
saves system cost while the LP crystal option saves
power. A set of configuration bits are used to select
various options (see Register 11-1).

b)
c)
d)
e)
f)
Power-on Reset (POR)
WDT Reset during normal operation
WDT Reset during Sleep
MCLR Reset during normal operation
MCLR Reset during Sleep
Brown-out Detect (BOD)
A simplified block diagram of the On-Chip Reset Circuit
is shown in Figure 11-1.
Some registers are not affected in any Reset condition;
their status is unknown on POR and unchanged in any
other Reset. Most other registers are reset to a “Reset
state” on:
•
•
•
•
•
They are not affected by a WDT wake-up since this is
viewed as the resumption of normal operation. TO and
PD bits are set or cleared differently in different Reset
situations, as indicated in Table 11-2. These bits are
used in software to determine the nature of the Reset.
See Table 11-4 for a full description of Reset states of
all registers.
The MCLR Reset path has a noise filter to detect and
ignore small pulses. See Section 14.0 “Electrical
Specifications” for pulse width specifications.

FIGURE 11-2:
Power-On Reset
The on-chip POR circuit holds the chip in Reset until
VDD has reached a high enough level for proper
operation. To take advantage of the POR, simply
connect the MCLR pin through a resistor to VDD. This
will eliminate external RC components usually needed
to create Power-on Reset. A maximum rise time for
VDD is required. See Section 14.0 “Electrical Specifications” for details. If the BOD is enabled, the maximum rise time specification does not apply. The BOD
circuitry will keep the device in Reset until VDD reaches
VBOD (see Section 11.4.4 “Brown-Out Detect
(BOD)”).
Note:
The POR circuit does not produce an
internal Reset when VDD declines. To
re-enable the POR, VDD must reach Vss
for a minimum of 100 µs.
When the device starts normal operation (exits the
Reset condition), device operating parameters (i.e.,
voltage, frequency, temperature, etc.) must be met to
ensure operation. If these conditions are not met, the
device must be held in Reset until the operating
conditions are met.
For additional information, refer to Application Note
AN607, “Power-up Trouble Shooting” (DS00607).

POWER-ON RESET (POR)
The on-chip POR circuit holds the chip in Reset until
VDD has reached a high enough level for proper
operation. To take advantage of the POR, simply
connect the MCLR pin through a resistor to VDD. This
will eliminate external RC components usually needed
to create Power-on Reset. A maximum rise time for
VDD is required. See Section 14.0 “Electrical Specifications” for details. If the BOD is enabled, the
maximum rise time specification does not apply. The
BOD circuitry will keep the device in Reset until VDD
reaches VBOD (see Section 11.4.4 “Brown-Out
Detect (BOD)”).
Note:
It should be noted that a WDT Reset does not drive
MCLR pin low.
The behavior of the ESD protection on the MCLR pin
has been altered from early devices of this family.
Voltages applied to the pin that exceed its specification
can result in both MCLR Resets and excessive current
beyond the device specification during the ESD event.
For this reason, Microchip recommends that the MCLR
pin no longer be tied directly to VDD. The use of an RC
network, as shown in Figure 11-2, is suggested.
RECOMMENDED MCLR
CIRCUIT
The POR circuit does not produce an
internal Reset when VDD declines. To
re-enable the POR, VDD must reach Vss
for a minimum of 100 µs.
When the device starts normal operation (exits the
Reset condition), device operating parameters (i.e.,
voltage, frequency, temperature, etc.) must be met to
ensure operation. If these conditions are not met, the
device must be held in Reset until the operating
conditions are met.
For additional information, refer to Application Note
AN607, “Power-up Trouble Shooting” (DS00607).
An internal MCLR option is enabled by clearing the
MCLRE bit in the Configuration Word register. When
cleared, MCLR is internally tied to VDD and an internal
weak pull-up is enabled for the MCLR pin. In-Circuit
Serial Programming is not affected by selecting the
internal MCLR option.

11.4.3
POWER-UP TIMER (PWRT)
If VDD falls below VBOD for greater than parameter
(TBOD) (see Section 14.0 “Electrical Specifications”), the Brown-out situation will reset the device.
This will occur regardless of VDD slew rate. A Reset is
not insured to occur if VDD falls below VBOD for less
than parameter (TBOD).
The Power-up Timer provides a fixed 64 ms (nominal)
time-out on power-up only, from POR or Brown-out
Detect. The Power-up Timer operates from the 31 kHz
LFINTOSC oscillator. For more information, see
Section 3.4 “Internal Clock Modes”. The chip is kept
in Reset as long as PWRT is active. The PWRT delay
allows the VDD to rise to an acceptable level. A configuration bit, PWRTE, can disable (if set) or enable (if
cleared or programmed) the Power-up Timer. The
Power-up Timer should be enabled when Brown-out
Detect is enabled, although it is not required.
On any Reset (Power-on, Brown-out Detect, Watchdog
Timer, etc.), the chip will remain in Reset until VDD rises
above VBOD (see Figure 11-3). The Power-up Timer
will now be invoked, if enabled and will keep the chip in
Reset an additional 64 ms.
Note:
The Power-up Timer delay will vary from chip-to-chip
and vary due to:
If VDD drops below VBOD while the Power-up Timer is
running, the chip will go back into a Brown-out Detect
and the Power-up Timer will be re-initialized. Once VDD
rises above VBOD, the Power-up Timer will execute a
64 ms Reset.
• VDD variation
• Temperature variation
• Process variation
See DC parameters for details
“Electrical Specifications”).
11.4.4
(Section 14.0
11.4.5
The BODEN0 and BODEN1 bits in the Configuration
Word register selects one of four BOD modes. Two
modes have been added to allow software or hardware
control of the BOD enable. When BODEN<1:0> = 01,
the SBODEN bit (PCON<4>) enables/disables the
BOD allowing it to be controlled in software. By selecting BODEN<1:0>, the BOD is automatically disabled in
Sleep to conserve power and enabled on wake-up. In
this mode, the SBODEN bit is disabled. See
Register 11-1 for the configuration word definition.

TIME-OUT SEQUENCE
11.4.7
On power-up, the time-out sequence is as follows: first,
PWRT time-out is invoked after POR has expired, then
OST is activated after the PWRT time-out has expired.
The total time-out will vary based on oscillator configuration and PWRTE bit status. For example, in EC mode
with PWRTE bit erased (PWRT disabled), there will be
no time-out at all. Figure 11.4, Figure 11-5 and
Figure 11-6 depict time-out sequences. The device can
execute code from the INTOSC while OST is active by
enabling Two-Speed Start-up or Fail-Safe Monitor (see
Section 3.6.2 “Two-Speed Start-up Sequence” and
Section 3.7 “Fail-Safe Clock Monitor”).
The Power Control (PCON) register (address 8Eh) has
two status bits to indicate what type of Reset that last
occurred.
Bit 0 is BOD (Brown-out). BOD is unknown on Poweron Reset. It must then be set by the user and checked
on subsequent Resets to see if BOD = 0, indicating that
a Brown-out has occurred. The BOD status bit is a
“don’t care” and is not necessarily predictable if the
brown-out circuit is disabled (BODEN<1:0> = 00 in the
Configuration Word register).
Bit 1 is POR (Power-on Reset). It is a ‘0’ on Power-on
Reset and unaffected otherwise. The user must write a
‘1’ to this bit following a Power-on Reset. On a
subsequent Reset, if POR is ‘0’, it will indicate that a
Power-on Reset has occurred (i.e., VDD may have
gone too low).
Since the time-outs occur from the POR pulse, if MCLR
is kept low long enough, the time-outs will expire. Then,
bringing MCLR high will begin execution immediately
(see Figure 11-5). This is useful for testing purposes or
to synchronize more than one PIC16F688 device
operating in parallel.
For more information, see Section 4.2.3 “Ultra LowPower Wake-up” and Section 11.4.4 “Brown-Out
Detect (BOD)”.

If VDD goes too low, Power-on Reset will be activated and registers will be affected differently.
One or more bits in INTCON and/or PIR1 will be affected (to cause wake-up).
When the wake-up is due to an interrupt and the GIE bit is set, the PC is loaded with the interrupt
vector (0004h).
See Table 11-5 for Reset value for specific condition.
If Reset was due to brown-out, then bit 0 = 0. All other Resets will cause bit 0 = u.

Interrupts
For external interrupt events, such as the INT pin or
PORTA change interrupt, the interrupt latency will be
three or four instruction cycles. The exact latency
depends upon when the interrupt event occurs (see
Figure 11-8). The latency is the same for one or twocycle instructions. Once in the Interrupt Service
Routine, the source(s) of the interrupt can be
determined by polling the interrupt flag bits. The
interrupt flag bit(s) must be cleared in software before
re-enabling interrupts to avoid multiple interrupt
requests.
The PIC16F688 has 11 sources of interrupt:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
External Interrupt RA2/INT
TMR0 Overflow Interrupt
PORTA Change Interrupts
2 Comparator Interrupts
A/D Interrupt
Timer1 Overflow Interrupt
EEPROM Data Write Interrupt
Fail-Safe Clock Monitor Interrupt
The Interrupt Control (INTCON) register and Peripheral
Interrupt Request 1 (PIR1) register record individual
interrupt requests in flag bits. The INTCON register
also has individual and global interrupt enable bits.
A Global Interrupt Enable bit, GIE (INTCON<7>),
enables (if set) all unmasked interrupts, or disables (if
cleared) all interrupts. Individual interrupts can be
disabled through their corresponding enable bits in the
INTCON register and PIE1 register. GIE is cleared on
Reset.
The Return from Interrupt instruction, RETFIE, exits
the interrupt routine, as well as sets the GIE bit, which
re-enables unmasked interrupts.
Note 1: Individual interrupt flag bits are set,
regardless of the status of their
corresponding mask bit or the GIE bit.
2: When an instruction that clears the GIE
bit is executed, any interrupts that were
pending for execution in the next cycle
are ignored. The interrupts, which were
ignored, are still pending to be serviced
when the GIE bit is set again.
For additional information on Timer1, A/D or data
EEPROM modules, refer to the respective peripheral
section.
The following interrupt flags are contained in the
INTCON register:
• INT Pin Interrupt
• PORTA Change Interrupt
• TMR0 Overflow Interrupt
The peripheral interrupt flags are contained in the
special register, PIR1. The corresponding interrupt
enable bit is contained in special register, PIE1.
The following interrupt flags are contained in the PIR1
register:
•
•
•
•
•
EEPROM Data Write Interrupt
A/D Interrupt
2 Comparator Interrupts
Timer1 Overflow Interrupt
Fail-Safe Clock Monitor Interrupt
When an interrupt is serviced:
• The GIE is cleared to disable any further interrupt.
• The return address is pushed onto the stack.
• The PC is loaded with 0004h.

11.5.1
RA2/INT INTERRUPT
11.5.2
External interrupt on RA2/INT pin is edge-triggered;
either rising if the INTEDG bit (OPTION<6>) is set, or
falling, if the INTEDG bit is clear. When a valid edge
appears on the RA2/INT pin, the INTF bit
(INTCON<1>) is set. This interrupt can be disabled by
clearing the INTE control bit (INTCON<4>). The INTF
bit must be cleared in software in the Interrupt Service
Routine before re-enabling this interrupt. The RA2/INT
interrupt can wake-up the processor from Sleep if the
INTE bit was set prior to going into Sleep. The status of
the GIE bit decides whether or not the processor
branches to the interrupt vector following wake-up
(0004h). See Section 11.8 “Power-Down Mode
(Sleep)” for details on Sleep and Figure 11-10 for
timing of wake-up from Sleep through RA2/INT
interrupt.
Note:
TMR0 INTERRUPT
An overflow (FFh → 00h) in the TMR0 register will set
the T0IF (INTCON<2>) bit. The interrupt can be
enabled/disabled
by
setting/clearing
T0IE
(INTCON<5>) bit. See Section 5.0 “Timer0 Module”
for operation of the Timer0 module.
11.5.3
PORTA INTERRUPT
An input change on PORTA change sets the RAIF
(INTCON<0>) bit. The interrupt can be enabled/
disabled by setting/clearing the RAIE (INTCON<3>)
bit. Plus, individual pins can be configured through the
IOCA register.
Note:
If a change on the I/O pin should occur
when the read operation is being executed
(start of the Q2 cycle), then the RAIF
interrupt flag may not get set.
The ANSEL (91h) and CMCON0 (19h)
registers must be initialized to configure
an analog channel as a digital input. Pins
configured as analog inputs will read ‘0’.

Context Saving During Interrupts
During an interrupt, only the return PC value is saved
on the stack. Typically, users may wish to save key
registers during an interrupt (e.g., W and Status
registers). This must be implemented in software.
Since the lower 16 bytes of all banks are common in the
PIC16F688 (see Figure 2-2), temporary holding
registers, W_TEMP and STATUS_TEMP, should be
placed in here. These 16 locations do not require
banking and therefore, make it easier to context save
and restore. The same code shown in Example 11-1
can be used to:
•
•
•
•
•
Store the W register
Store the Status register
Execute the ISR code
Restore the Status (and Bank Select Bit register)
Restore the W register
Note:
The PIC16F688 normally does not require
saving the PCLATH. However, if
computed GOTO’s are used in the ISR and
the main code, the PCLATH must be
saved and restored in the ISR.

Watchdog Timer (WDT)
For PIC16F688, the WDT has been modified from
previous 16F devices. The new WDT is code and
functionally compatible with previous 16F WDT
modules and adds a 16-bit prescaler to the WDT. This
allows the user to have a scaler value for the WDT and
TMR0 at the same time. In addition, the WDT time-out
value can be extended to 268 seconds. WDT is cleared
under certain conditions described in Table 11-7.
A new prescaler has been added to the path between
the INTRC and the multiplexers used to select the path
for the WDT. This prescaler is 16 bits and can be
programmed to divide the INTRC by 32 to 65536,
giving the WDT a nominal range of 1 ms to 268s.
11.7.2
WDT CONTROL
The WDTE bit is located in the Configuration Word
register. When set, the WDT runs continuously.
The WDT derives its time base from the 31 kHz
LFINTOSC. The LTS bit does not reflect that the
LFINTOSC is enabled.
When the WDTE bit in the Configuration Word register
is set, the SWDTEN bit (WDTCON<0>) has no effect.
If WDTE is clear, then the SWDTEN bit can be used to
enable and disable the WDT. Setting the bit will enable
it and clearing the bit will disable it.
The value of WDTCON is ‘---0 1000’ on all Resets.
This gives a nominal time base of 16 ms, which is
compatible with the time base generated with previous
16F microcontroller versions.
The PSA and PS<2:0> bits (OPTION_REG) have the
same function as in previous versions of the 16F family
of microcontrollers. See Section 5.0 “Timer0 Module”
for more information.
11.7.1
Note:
WDT OSCILLATOR
When the Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST)
is invoked, the WDT is held in Reset,
because the WDT Ripple Counter is used
by the OST to perform the oscillator delay
count. When the OST count has expired,
the WDT will begin counting (if enabled).

Power-Down Mode (Sleep)
The Power-down mode is entered by executing a
SLEEP instruction.
If the Watchdog Timer is enabled:
•
•
•
•
•
WDT will be cleared but keeps running.
PD bit in the Status register is cleared.
TO bit is set.
Oscillator driver is turned off.
I/O ports maintain the status they had before
SLEEP was executed (driving high, low or highimpedance).
Other peripherals cannot generate interrupts since
during Sleep, no on-chip clocks are present.
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 set (enabled). Wake-up is
regardless of the state of the GIE bit. If the GIE bit is
clear (disabled), the device continues execution at the
instruction after the SLEEP instruction. If the GIE bit is
set (enabled), the device executes the instruction after
the SLEEP instruction, then branches to the interrupt
address (0004h). In cases where the execution of the
instruction following SLEEP is not desirable, the user
should have a NOP after the SLEEP instruction.
For lowest current consumption in this mode, all I/O
pins should be either at VDD or VSS, with no external
circuitry drawing current from the I/O pin, and the
comparators and CVREF should be disabled. I/O pins
that are high-impedance inputs should be pulled high
or low externally to avoid switching currents caused by
floating inputs. The T0CKI input should also be at VDD
or VSS for lowest current consumption. The
contribution from on-chip pull-ups on PORTA should be
considered.
The WDT is cleared when the device wakes up from
Sleep, regardless of the source of wake-up.
The MCLR pin must be at a logic high level.
11.8.2
Note:
11.8.1
3.
WAKE-UP FROM SLEEP
• If the interrupt occurs before the execution of a
SLEEP instruction, the SLEEP instruction will
complete as a NOP. Therefore, the WDT and WDT
prescaler and postscaler (if enabled) will not be
cleared, the TO bit will not be set and the PD bit
will not be cleared.
• If the interrupt occurs during or after the
execution of a SLEEP instruction, the device will
immediately wake-up from Sleep. The SLEEP
instruction will be completely executed before the
wake-up. Therefore, the WDT and WDT prescaler
and postscaler (if enabled) will be cleared, the TO
bit will be set and the PD bit will be cleared.
External Reset input on MCLR pin.
Watchdog Timer wake-up (if WDT was
enabled).
Interrupt from RA2/INT pin, PORTA change or a
peripheral interrupt.
The following peripheral interrupts can wake the device
from Sleep:
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
WAKE-UP USING INTERRUPTS
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:
The first event will cause a device Reset. The two latter
events are considered a continuation of program
execution. The TO and PD bits in the Status register
can be used to determine the cause of device Reset.
The PD bit, which is set on power-up, is cleared when
Sleep is invoked. TO bit is cleared if WDT wake-up
occurred.
1.
If the global interrupts are disabled (GIE is
cleared), but any interrupt source has both
its interrupt enable bit and the corresponding interrupt flag bits set, the device will
immediately wake-up from Sleep. The
SLEEP instruction is completely executed.
It should be noted that a Reset generated
by a WDT time-out does not drive MCLR
pin low.
The device can wake-up from Sleep through one of the
following events:
1.
2.
Note:
TMR1 Interrupt. Timer1 must be operating as an
asynchronous counter.
EUSART Receive Interrupt.
ULPWU Interrupt.
A/D conversion (when A/D clock source is RC).

Comparator output changes state.
Interrupt-on-change.
External Interrupt from INT pin.
 2004 Microchip Technology Inc.
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.
To ensure that the WDT is cleared, a CLRWDT instruction
should be executed before a SLEEP instruction.

11.11 In-Circuit Serial Programming
The PIC16F688 microcontrollers can be serially
programmed while in the end application circuit. This is
simply done with two lines for clock and data and three
other lines for:
* Isolation devices (as required)
• power
• ground
• programming voltage
This allows customers to manufacture boards with
unprogrammed devices and then program the microcontroller just before shipping the product. This also
allows the most recent firmware or a custom firmware
to be programmed.
The device is placed into a Program/Verify mode by
holding the RA0 and RA1 pins low, while raising the
MCLR (VPP) pin from VIL to VIHH. See the “PIC12F6XX/
16F6XX
Memory
Programming
Specification”
(DS41204) for more information. RA0 becomes the
programming data and RA1 becomes the programming
clock. Both RA0 and RA1 are Schmitt Trigger inputs in
this mode.
After Reset, to place the device into Program/Verify
mode, the Program Counter (PC) is at location 00h. A
6-bit command is then supplied to the device.
Depending on the command, 14 bits of program data
are then supplied to or from the device, depending on
whether the command was a load or a read. For
complete details of serial programming, please refer to
the “PIC12F6XX/16F6XX Memory Programming
Specification” (DS41204).

INSTRUCTION SET SUMMARY
The PIC16F688 instruction set is highly orthogonal and
is comprised of three basic categories:
• Byte-oriented operations
• Bit-oriented operations
• Literal and control operations
Each PIC16 instruction is a 14-bit word divided into an
opcode, which specifies the instruction type and one or
more operands, which further specify the operation of
the instruction. The formats for each of the categories
is presented in Figure 12-1, while the various opcode
fields are summarized in Table 12-1.
Table 12-2 lists the instructions recognized by the
MPASMTM assembler. A complete description of each
instruction is also available in the “PICmicro®
Mid-Range MCU Family Reference Manual”
(DS33023).
For byte-oriented instructions, ‘f’ represents a file
register designator and ‘d’ represents a destination
designator. The file register designator specifies which
file register is to be used by the instruction.
The destination designator specifies where the result of
the operation is to be placed. If ‘d’ is zero, the result is
placed in the W register. If ‘d’ is one, the result is placed
in the file register specified in the instruction.
For bit-oriented instructions, ‘b’ represents a bit field
designator, which selects the bit affected by the
operation, while ‘f’ represents the address of the file in
which the bit is located.
tion, or the destination designator ‘d’. A read operation
is performed on a register even if the instruction writes
to that register.
For example, a CLRF GPIO instruction will read GPIO,
clear all the data bits, then write the result back to
GPIO. This example would have the unintended result
of clearing the condition that set the GPIF flag.
TABLE 12-1:
Field
Register file address (0x00 to 0x7F)
W
Working register (accumulator)
b
Bit address within an 8-bit file register
k
Literal field, constant data or label
x
Don’t care location (= 0 or 1).
The assembler will generate code with x = 0.
It is the recommended form of use for
compatibility with all Microchip software tools.
d
Destination select; d = 0: store result in W,
d = 1: store result in file register f.
Default is d = 1.
PC
Program Counter
TO
Time-out bit
PD
Power-down bit
FIGURE 12-1:
One instruction cycle consists of four oscillator periods;
for an oscillator frequency of 4 MHz, this gives a normal
instruction execution time of 1 µs. All instructions are
executed within a single instruction cycle, unless a
conditional test is true, or the program counter is
changed as a result of an instruction. When this occurs,
the execution takes two instruction cycles, with the
second cycle executed as a NOP.

When an I/O register is modified as a function of itself (e.g., MOVF GPIO, 1), the value used will be that value present
on the pins themselves. For example, if the data latch is ‘1’ for a pin configured as input and is driven low by an external
device, the data will be written back with a ‘0’.
If this instruction is executed on the TMR0 register (and where applicable, d = 1), the prescaler will be cleared if
assigned to the Timer0 module.
If Program Counter (PC) is modified, or a conditional test is true, the instruction requires two cycles. The second cycle is
executed as a NOP.
Additional information on the mid-range instruction set is available in the PICmicro® Mid-Range MCU
Family Reference Manual” (DS33023).

Note:
Voltage spikes below VSS at the MCLR pin, inducing currents greater than 80 mA, may cause latch-up.
Thus, a series resistor of 50-100 Ω should be used when applying a “low” level to the MCLR pin, rather than
pulling this pin directly to VSS.

from rail-to-rail; all I/O pins tri-stated, pulled to VDD; MCLR = VDD; WDT disabled.
2: The supply current is mainly a function of the operating voltage and frequency. Other factors, such as I/O
pin loading and switching rate, oscillator type, internal code execution pattern and temperature, also have
an impact on the current consumption.

Note 3: The peripheral current is the sum of the base IDD or IPD and the additional current consumed when this
peripheral is enabled. The peripheral ∆ current can be determined by subtracting the base IDD or IPD
current from this limit. Max values should be used when calculating total current consumption.
4: The power-down current in Sleep mode does not depend on the oscillator type. Power-down current is
measured with the part in Sleep mode, with all I/O pins in hi-impedance state and tied to VDD.

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.

Note 1: Total Absolute Error includes integral, differential, offset and gain errors.
2: The A/D conversion result never decreases with an increase in the input voltage and has no missing codes.
3: VREF current is from external VREF or VDD pin, whichever is selected as reference input.
4: When A/D is off, it will not consume any current other than leakage current. The power-down current
_specification includes any such leakage from the A/D module.

In the event the full Microchip part number cannot be marked on one line, it will
be carried over to the next line thus limiting the number of available characters
for customer specific information.
Standard PICmicro device marking consists of Microchip part number, year code, week code, and
traceability code. For PICmicro device marking beyond this, certain price adders apply. Please check
with your Microchip Sales Office. For QTP devices, any special marking adders are included in QTP
