PROGRAMMING THE
PIC16F87X
The PIC16F87X is programmed using a serial method.
The Serial mode will allow the PIC16F87X to be programmed while in the user’s system. This allows for
increased design flexibility. This programming specification applies to PIC16F87X devices in all packages.
1.1
Programming Algorithm
Requirements
The programming algorithm used depends on the
operating voltage (VDD) of the PIC16F87X device.
Algorithm 1 is designed for a VDD range of
2.2V ≤ VDD < 5.5V. Algorithm 2 is for a range of
4.5V ≤ VDD ≤ 5.5V. Either algorithm can be used with
the two available programming entry methods. The first
method follows the normal Microchip Programming
mode entry of applying a VPP voltage of 13V ± .5V. The
second method, called Low Voltage ICSPTM or LVP for
short, applies VDD to MCLR and uses the I/O pin RB3
to enter Programming mode. When RB3 is driven to
VDD from ground, the PIC16F87X device enters
Programming mode.

* In the PIC16F87X, the programming high voltage is internally generated. To activate the Programming mode, high
voltage needs to be applied to the MCLR input. Since the MCLR is used for a level source, this means that MCLR
does not draw any significant current.

PROGRAM MODE ENTRY
The contents of data EEPROM memory have the capability to be embedded into the HEX file.
2.1
User Program Memory Map
The programmer should be able to read data EEPROM
information from a HEX file and conversely (as an
option), write data EEPROM contents to a HEX file,
along with program memory information and configuration bit information.
The user memory space extends from 0x0000 to
0x1FFF (8K). In Programming mode, the program
memory space extends from 0x0000 to 0x3FFF, with
the first half (0x0000-0x1FFF) being user program
memory and the second half (0x2000-0x3FFF) being
configuration memory. The PC will increment from
0x0000 to 0x1FFF and wrap to 0x0000, 0x2000 to
0x3FFF and wrap around to 0x2000 (not to 0x0000).
Once in configuration memory, the highest bit of the PC
stays a ‘1’, thus always pointing to the configuration
memory. The only way to point to user program memory is to reset the part and re-enter Program/Verify
mode, as described in Section 2.4.
In the configuration memory space, 0x2000-0x200F
are physically implemented. However, only locations
0x2000 through 0x2007 are available. Other locations
are reserved. Locations beyond 0x200F will physically
access user memory (see Figure 2-1).
2.2
Data EEPROM Memory
The EEPROM data memory space is a separate block
of high endurance memory that the user accesses
using a special sequence of instructions. The amount
of data EEPROM memory depends on the device and
is shown below in number of bytes.

The 256 data memory locations are logically mapped
starting at address 0x2100. The format for data memory storage is one data byte per address location, LSB
aligned.
2.3
ID Locations
A user may store identification information (ID) in four
ID locations. The ID locations are mapped in [0x2000 :
0x2003]. It is recommended that the user use only the
four Least Significant bits of each ID location. In some
devices, the ID locations read out in an unscrambled
fashion after code protection is enabled. For these
devices, it is recommended that ID location is written as
“11 1111 1000 bbbb” where ‘bbbb’ is ID information.
In other devices, the ID locations read out normally,
even after code protection. To understand how the
devices behave, refer to Table 5-1.
To understand the scrambling mechanism after code
protection, refer to Section 4.0.

2.4
Program/Verify Mode
The Program/Verify mode is entered by holding pins
RB6 and RB7 low, while raising MCLR pin from VIL to
VIHH (high voltage). In this mode, the state of the RB3
pin does not effect programming. Low voltage ICSP
Programming mode is entered by raising RB3 from VIL
to VDD and then applying VDD to MCLR. Once in this
mode, the user program memory and the configuration
memory can be accessed and programmed in serial
fashion. The mode of operation is serial, and the memory that is accessed is the user program memory. RB6
and RB7 are Schmitt Trigger Inputs in this mode.
Note:
The OSC must not have 72 osc clocks
while the device MCLR is between VIL and
VIHH.
The sequence that enters the device into the Programming/Verify mode places all other logic into the RESET
state (the MCLR pin was initially at VIL). This means
that all I/O are in the RESET state (high impedance
inputs).
The normal sequence for programming is to use the
load data command to set a value to be written at the
selected address. Issue the begin programming command followed by read data command to verify, and
then increment the address.
A device RESET will clear the PC and set the address
to 0. The “increment address” command will increment
the PC. The “load configuration” command will set the
PC to 0x2000. The available commands are shown in
Table 2-2.
2.4.1
LOW VOLTAGE ICSP
PROGRAMMING MODE
Low voltage ICSP Programming mode allows a
PIC16F87X device to be programmed using VDD only.
However, when this mode is enabled by a configuration
bit (LVP), the PIC16F87X device dedicates RB3 to
control entry/exit into Programming mode.
When LVP bit is set to ‘1’, the low voltage ICSP programming entry is enabled. Since the LVP configuration bit allows low voltage ICSP programming entry in
its erased state, an erased device will have the LVP bit
enabled at the factory. While LVP is ‘1’, RB3 is dedicated to low voltage ICSP programming. Bring RB3 to
VDD and then MCLR to VDD to enter programming
mode. All other specifications for high voltage ICSP™
apply.
To disable low voltage ICSP mode, the LVP bit must be
programmed to ‘0’. This must be done while entered
with High Voltage Entry mode (LVP bit = 1). RB3 is now
a general purpose I/O pin.
 2002 Microchip Technology Inc.
2.4.2
SERIAL PROGRAM/VERIFY
OPERATION
The RB6 pin is used as a clock input pin, and the RB7
pin is used for entering command bits and data
input/output during serial operation. To input a command, the clock pin (RB6) is cycled six times. Each
command bit is latched on the falling edge of the clock,
with the Least Significant bit (LSb) of the command
being input first. The data on pin RB7 is required to
have a minimum setup and hold time (see AC/DC
specifications), with respect to the falling edge of the
clock. Commands that have data associated with them
(read and load) are specified to have a minimum delay
of 1 µs between the command and the data. After this
delay, the clock pin is cycled 16 times with the first cycle
being a START bit and the last cycle being a STOP bit.
Data is also input and output LSb first.
Therefore, during a read operation, the LSb will be
transmitted onto pin RB7 on the rising edge of the second cycle, and during a load operation, the LSb will be
latched on the falling edge of the second cycle. A minimum 1 µs delay is also specified between consecutive
commands.
All commands are transmitted LSb first. Data words are
also transmitted LSb first. The data is transmitted on
the rising edge and latched on the falling edge of the
clock. To allow for decoding of commands and reversal
of data pin configuration, a time separation of at least
1 µs is required between a command and a data word
(or another command).
The commands that are available are:
2.4.2.1
Load Configuration
After receiving this command, the program counter
(PC) will be set to 0x2000. By then applying 16 cycles
to the clock pin, the chip will load 14-bits in a “data
word,” as described above, to be programmed into the
configuration memory. A description of the memory
mapping schemes of the program memory for normal
operation and Configuration mode operation is shown
in Figure 2-1. After the configuration memory is
entered, the only way to get back to the user program
memory is to exit the Program/Verify Test mode by
taking MCLR low (VIL).
2.4.2.2
Load Data for Program Memory
After receiving this command, the chip will load in a
14-bit “data word” when 16 cycles are applied, as
described previously. A timing diagram for the load data
command is shown in Figure 6-1.
DS39025F-page 5
PIC16F87X
2.4.2.3
Load Data for Data Memory
2.4.2.6
After receiving this command, the chip will load in a
14-bit “data word” when 16 cycles are applied. However, the data memory is only 8-bits wide, and thus,
only the first 8-bits of data after the START bit will be
programmed into the data memory. It is still necessary
to cycle the clock the full 16 cycles in order to allow the
internal circuitry to reset properly. The data memory
contains up to 256 bytes. If the device is code protected, the data is read as all zeros.
2.4.2.4
The PC is incremented when this command is
received. A timing diagram of this command is shown
in Figure 6-3.
2.4.2.7
After receiving this command, the chip will transmit
data bits out of the program memory (user or configuration) currently accessed, starting with the second rising edge of the clock input. The RB7 pin will go into
Output mode on the second rising clock edge, and it
will revert back to Input mode (hi-impedance) after the
16th rising edge. A timing diagram of this command is
shown in Figure 6-2.
2.4.2.8
Begin Programming
Note:
The Begin Program operation must take
place at 4.5 to 5.5 VDD range.
A load command must be given before every begin
programming command. Programming of the appropriate memory (test program memory, user program
memory or data memory) will begin after this command
is received and decoded. An internal timing mechanism
executes a write. The user must allow for program
cycle time for programming to complete. No “end programming” command is required.
Read Data from Data Memory
After receiving this command, the chip will transmit
data bits out of the data memory starting with the second rising edge of the clock input. The RB7 pin will go
into Output mode on the second rising edge, and it will
revert back to Input mode (hi-impedance) after the 16th
rising edge. As previously stated, the data memory is
8-bits wide, and therefore, only the first 8-bits that are
output are actual data.
TABLE 2-2:
Begin Erase/Program Cycle
A load command must be given before every begin
programming command. Programming of the appropriate memory (test program memory, user program
memory or data memory) will begin after this command
is received and decoded. An internal timing mechanism
executes an erase before write. The user must allow for
both erase and programming cycle times for programming to complete. No “end programming” command is
required.
Read Data from Program Memory
2.4.2.5
Increment Address
This command is similar to the ERASE/PROGRAM
CYCLE command, except that a word erase is not
done. It is recommended that a bulk erase be performed before starting a series of programming only
cycles.

Erasing Program and Data
Memory
Depending on the state of the code protection bits, program and data memory will be erased using different
procedures. The first set of procedures is used when
both program and data memories are not code protected. The second set of procedures must be used
when either memory is code protected. A device programmer should determine the state of the code protection bits and then apply the proper procedure to
erase the desired memory.
2.5.1
ERASING NON-CODE PROTECTED
PROGRAM AND DATA MEMORY
2.5.2
For the PIC16F87X devices, once code protection is
enabled, all protected program and data memory locations read all ’0’s and further programming is disabled.
The ID locations and configuration word read out
unscrambled and can be reprogrammed normally. The
only procedure to erase a PIC16F87X device that is
code protected is shown in the following procedure.
This method erases program memory, data memory,
configuration bits and ID locations. Since all data
within the program and data memory will be erased
when this procedure is executed, the security of
the data or code is not compromised.
When both program and data memories are not code
protected, they must be individually erased using the
following procedures. The only way that both memories
are erased using a single procedure is if code protection is enabled for one of the memories. These procedures do not erase the configuration word or ID
locations.

EMBEDDING THE CONFIGURATION WORD AND ID INFORMATION IN THE
HEX FILE
To allow portability of code, the programmer is required to read the configuration word and ID locations from the HEX
file when loading the HEX file. If configuration word information was not present in the HEX file, then a simple warning
message may be issued. Similarly, while saving a HEX file, configuration word and ID information must be included.
An option to not include this information may be provided.
Specifically for the PIC16F87X, the EEPROM data memory should also be embedded in the HEX file (see
Section 2.2).
Microchip Technology Inc. feels strongly that this feature is important for the benefit of the end customer.

CHECKSUM COMPUTATION
Checksum is calculated by reading the contents of the
PIC16F87X memory locations and adding up the
opcodes, up to the maximum user addressable location, e.g., 0x1FF for the PIC16F87X. Any carry bits
exceeding 16-bits are neglected. Finally, the configuration word (appropriately masked) is added to the
checksum. Checksum computation for each member of
the PIC16F87X devices is shown in Table 5-1.
The checksum is calculated by summing the following:
• The contents of all program memory locations
• The configuration word, appropriately masked
• Masked ID locations (when applicable)
DS39025F-page 16
The Least Significant 16 bits of this sum are the
checksum.
The following table describes how to calculate the
checksum for each device. Note that the checksum calculation differs depending on the code protect setting.
Since the program memory locations read out differently depending on the code protect setting, the table
describes how to manipulate the actual program memory values to simulate the values that would be read
from a protected device. When calculating a checksum
by reading a device, the entire program memory can
simply be read and summed. The configuration word
and ID locations can always be read.
Note that some older devices have an additional value
added in the checksum. This is to maintain compatibility with older device programmer checksums.
