Note the following details of the code protection feature on Microchip devices:
•
Microchip products meet the specification contained in their particular Microchip Data Sheet.
•
Microchip believes that its family of products is one of the most secure families of its kind on the market today, when used in the
intended manner and under normal conditions.
•
There are dishonest and possibly illegal methods used to breach the code protection feature. All of these methods, to our
knowledge, require using the Microchip products in a manner outside the operating specifications contained in Microchip’s Data
Sheets. Most likely, the person doing so is engaged in theft of intellectual property.
•
Microchip is willing to work with the customer who is concerned about the integrity of their code.
•
Neither Microchip nor any other semiconductor manufacturer can guarantee the security of their code. Code protection does not
mean that we are guaranteeing the product as “unbreakable.”
Code protection is constantly evolving. We at Microchip are committed to continuously improving the code protection features of our
products. Attempts to break Microchip’s code protection feature may be a violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. If such acts
allow unauthorized access to your software or other copyrighted work, you may have a right to sue for relief under that Act.
Information contained in this publication regarding device
applications and the like is provided only for your convenience
and may be superseded by updates. It is your responsibility to
ensure that your application meets with your specifications.

Data Memory Organization
The data memory is partitioned into multiple banks
which contain the General Purpose Registers (GPRs)
and the Special Function Registers (SFRs). Bits RP0
and RP1 are bank select bits.

The register file is organized as 128 x 8 bits in the
PIC16F720/LF720, 256 x 8 bits in the PIC16F721/
LF721. Each register is accessed either directly or
indirectly through the File Select Register (FSR), (Refer
to Section 2.5 “Indirect Addressing, INDF and FSR
Registers”).
2.2.2
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.
GENERAL PURPOSE REGISTER
FILE
SPECIAL FUNCTION REGISTERS
The Special Function Registers are registers used by
the CPU and peripheral functions for controlling the
desired operation of the device (refer to Table 2-1).
These registers are static RAM.
The Special Function 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.

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)
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.
REGISTER 2-1:
R/W-0
It is recommended, therefore, that only BCF, BSF,
SWAPF and MOVWF instructions are used to alter the
STATUS register, because these instructions do not
affect any Status bits. For other instructions not
affecting any Status bits (Refer to Section 21.0
“Instruction Set Summary”).
Note 1: The C and DC bits operate as Borrow
and Digit Borrow out bits, respectively, in
subtraction.
STATUS: STATUS REGISTER

For example, CLRF STATUS will clear the upper three

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 2-5
shows the two situations for the loading of the PC. The
upper example in Figure 2-5 shows how the PC is
loaded on a write to PCL (PCLATH<4:0>  PCH).
The lower example in Figure 2-5 shows how the PC is
loaded during a CALL or GOTO instruction
(PCLATH<4:3>  PCH).

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.
2.4
Program Memory Paging
All devices are capable of addressing a continuous 8K
word block of program memory. The CALL and GOTO
instructions provide only 11 bits of address to allow
branching within any 2K program memory page. When
doing a CALL or GOTO instruction, the upper 2 bits of
the address are provided by PCLATH<4:3>. When
doing a CALL or GOTO instruction, the user must ensure
that the page select bits are programmed so that the
desired program memory page is addressed. If a return
from a CALL instruction (or interrupt) is executed, the
entire 13-bit PC is POPed off the stack. Therefore,
manipulation of the PCLATH<4:3> bits is not required
for the RETURN instructions (which POPs the address
from the stack).
Note:
The contents of the PCLATH register are
unchanged after a RETURN or RETFIE
instruction is executed. The user must
rewrite the contents of the PCLATH register for any subsequent subroutine calls or
GOTO instructions.
Opcode<10:0>
PCLATH
2.3.1
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).
2.3.2
Example 2-1 shows the calling of a subroutine in
page 1 of the program memory. This example assumes
that PCLATH is saved and restored by the Interrupt
Service Routine (if interrupts are used).
EXAMPLE 2-1:
ORG 500h
PAGESEL SUB_P1 ;Select page 1
;(800h-FFFh)
CALL
SUB1_P1 ;Call subroutine in
:
;page 1 (800h-FFFh)
:
ORG
900h
;page 1 (800h-FFFh)
STACK
All devices have an 8-level x 13-bit wide hardware
stack (refer to Figures 2-1 and 2-2). 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.
SUB1_P1
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).

The INDF register is not a physical register. Addressing
the INDF register will cause indirect addressing.
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 of
the STATUS register, as shown in Figure 2-6.
A simple program to clear RAM location 020h-02Fh
using indirect addressing is shown in Example 2-2.

Most registers 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 3-5.
These bits are used in software to determine the nature
of the Reset.

3.1
MCLR
3.3
The PIC16(L)F720/721 has a noise filter in the MCLR
Reset path. The filter will detect and ignore small
pulses.
It should be noted that a Reset does not drive the
MCLR pin low.
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 3-2, is suggested.
An internal MCLR option is enabled by clearing the
MCLRE bit in the Configuration Word register. When
MCLRE = 0, the Reset signal to the chip is generated
internally. When the MCLRE = 1, the RA3/MCLR pin
becomes an external Reset input. In this mode, the
RA3/MCLR pin has a weak pull-up to VDD. In-Circuit
Serial Programming™ is not affected by selecting the
internal MCLR option.
The Power-up Timer provides a fixed 72 ms (nominal)
time out on power-up only, from POR or Brown-out
Reset. The Power-up Timer operates from the WDT
oscillator. For more information, see Section 7.3
“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 Reset is enabled,
although it is not required.
The Power-up Timer delay will vary from chip-to-chip
and vary due to:
• VDD variation
• Temperature variation
• Process variation
See DC parameters for details
“Electrical Specifications”).

WDT OSCILLATOR
The WDT derives its time base from 31 kHz internal

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. A
maximum rise time for VDD is required. See
Section 23.0 “Electrical Specifications” for details. If
the BOR is enabled, the maximum rise time specification
does not apply. The BOR circuitry will keep the device in
Reset until VDD reaches VBOR (see Section 3.5
“Brown-Out Reset (BOR)”).
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.

AN607, “Power-up Trouble Shooting” (DS00607).

implemented.
Two bits are used to enable the BOR. When
BOREN = 11, the BOR is always enabled. When
BOREN = 10, the BOR is enabled, but disabled during
Sleep. When BOREN = 0X, the BOR is disabled.
If VDD falls below VBOR for greater than parameter
(TBOR) (see Section 23.0 “Electrical Specifications”), the Brown-out situation will reset the device.
This will occur regardless of VDD slew rate. A Reset is
not ensured to occur if VDD falls below VBOR for more
than parameter (TBOR).
If VDD drops below VBOR while the Power-up Timer is
running, the chip will go back into a Brown-out Reset
and the Power-up Timer will be re-initialized. Once VDD
rises above VBOR, the Power-up Timer will execute a
64 ms Reset.

Time-out Sequence
3.7
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 = 1 (PWRT disabled), there will be no
time-out at all. Figure 3-4, Figure 3-5 and Figure 3-6
depict time-out sequences.
The Power Control (PCON) register has two Status bits
to indicate what type of Reset that last occurred.
Bit 0 is BOR (Brown-out Reset). BOR is unknown on
Power-on Reset. It must then be set by the user and
checked on subsequent Resets to see if BOR = 0,
indicating that a Brown-out has occurred. The BOR
Status bit is a “don’t care” and is not necessarily
predictable if the brown-out circuit is disabled
(BOREN<1:0> = 00 in the Configuration Word register).
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 3-5). This is useful for testing purposes or
to synchronize more than one PIC16(L)F720/721
device operating in parallel.
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).
Table 3-5 shows the Reset conditions for some special
registers.

INTERRUPTS
The PIC16(L)F720/721 device family features an
interruptible core, allowing certain events to preempt
normal program flow. An Interrupt Service Routine
(ISR) is used to determine the source of the interrupt
and act accordingly. Some interrupts can be configured
to wake the MCU from Sleep mode.
The PIC16(L)F720/721 device family has 12 interrupt
sources, differentiated by corresponding interrupt
enable and flag bits:

Some peripherals depend upon the

Operation
interrupts. Because the GIE bit is cleared, any interrupt
that occurs while executing the ISR will be recorded
through its Interrupt Flag, but will not cause the
processor to redirect to the interrupt vector.
Interrupts are disabled upon any device Reset. They
are enabled by setting the following bits:
• GIE bit of the INTCON register
• Interrupt Enable bit(s) for the specific interrupt
event(s)
• PEIE bit of the INTCON register (if the Interrupt
Enable bit of the interrupt event is contained in the
PIE1 register)
The RETFIE instruction exits the ISR by popping the
previous address from the stack and setting the GIE bit.
For additional information on a specific interrupt’s
operation, refer to its peripheral chapter.
Note 1: Individual interrupt flag bits are set,
regardless of the state of any other
enable bits.
The INTCON and PIR1 registers record individual
interrupts via interrupt flag bits. Interrupt flag bits will be
set, regardless of the status of the GIE, PEIE and
individual Interrupt Enable bits.
2: All interrupts will be ignored while the GIE
bit is cleared. Any interrupt occurring
while the GIE bit is clear will be serviced
when the GIE bit is set again.
The following events happen when an interrupt event
occurs while the GIE bit is set:
• Current prefetched instruction is flushed
• GIE bit is cleared
• Current Program Counter (PC) is pushed onto the
stack
• PC is loaded with the interrupt vector 0004h
4.2
Interrupt latency is defined as the time from when the
interrupt event occurs to the time code execution at the
interrupt vector begins. The latency for synchronous
interrupts is 3 instruction cycles. For asynchronous
interrupts, the latency is 3 to 4 instruction cycles,
depending on when the interrupt occurs. See Figure 4-2
for timing details.
The ISR determines the source of the interrupt by
polling the interrupt flag bits. The interrupt flag bits must
be cleared before exiting the ISR to avoid repeated

4.3
Interrupts During Sleep
Some interrupts can be used to wake from Sleep. To
wake from Sleep, the peripheral must be able to
operate without the system clock. The interrupt source
must have the appropriate Interrupt Enable bit(s) set
prior to entering Sleep.
On waking from Sleep, if the GIE bit is also set, the
processor will branch to the interrupt vector. Otherwise,
the processor will continue executing instructions after
the SLEEP instruction. The instruction directly after the
SLEEP instruction will always be executed before
branching to the ISR. Refer to the Section 19.0
“Power-Down Mode (Sleep)” for more details.
4.4
INT Pin
The external interrupt, INT pin, causes an
asynchronous, edge-triggered interrupt. The INTEDG bit
of the OPTION register determines on which edge the
interrupt will occur. When the INTEDG bit is set, the
rising edge will cause the interrupt. When the INTEDG
bit is clear, the falling edge will cause the interrupt. The
INTF bit of the INTCON register will be set when a valid
edge appears on the INT pin. If the GIE and INTE bits
are also set, the processor will redirect program
execution to the interrupt vector. This interrupt is
disabled by clearing the INTE bit of the INTCON register.
4.5
Context Saving
When an interrupt occurs, only the return PC value is
saved to the stack. If the ISR modifies or uses an
instruction that modifies key registers, their values
must be saved at the beginning of the ISR and restored
when the ISR completes. This prevents instructions
EXAMPLE 4-1:
following the ISR from using invalid data. Examples of
key registers include the W, STATUS, FSR and
PCLATH registers.
Note:
The microcontroller does not normally
require saving the PCLATH register.
However, if computed GOTOs are used,
the PCLATH register must be saved at the
beginning of the ISR and restored when
the ISR is complete to ensure correct
program flow.
The code shown in Example 4-1 can be used to do the
following.
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Save the W register
Save the STATUS register
Save the PCLATH register
Execute the ISR program
Restore the PCLATH register
Restore the STATUS register
Restore the W register
Since most instructions modify the W register, it must
be saved immediately upon entering the ISR. The
SWAPF instruction is used when saving and restoring
the W and STATUS registers because it will not affect
any bits in the STATUS register. It is useful to place
W_TEMP in shared memory because the ISR cannot
predict which bank will be selected when the interrupt
occurs.
The processor will branch to the interrupt vector by
loading the PC with 0004h. The PCLATH register will
remain unchanged. This requires the ISR to ensure
that the PCLATH register is set properly before using
an instruction that causes PCLATH to be loaded into
the PC. See Section 2.3 “PCL and PCLATH” for
details on PC operation.

LOW DROPOUT (LDO)
VOLTAGE REGULATOR
The PIC16F720/721 devices differ from the
PIC16LF720/721 devices due to an internal Low
Dropout (LDO) voltage regulator. The PIC16F720/721
contain an internal LDO, while the PIC16LF720/721 do
not.
The lithography of the die allows a maximum operating
voltage of 3.6V on the internal digital logic. In order to
continue to support 5.0V designs, a LDO voltage
regulator is integrated on the die. The LDO voltage
regulator allows for the internal digital logic to operate
at 3.2V, while I/O’s operate at 5.0V (VDD).

I/O PORTS
6.1.1
WEAK PULL-UPS
There are as many as eighteen general purpose I/O
pins available. Depending on which peripherals are
enabled, some or all of the pins may not be available as
general purpose I/O. In general, when a peripheral is
enabled, the associated pin may not be used as a
general purpose I/O pin.
Each of the PORTA pins has an individually
configurable internal weak pull-up. Control bits
WPUA<5:0> enable or disable each pull-up (see
Register 6-5). Each weak pull-up is automatically
turned off when the port pin is configured as an output.
All pull-ups are disabled on a Power-on Reset by the
RABPU bit of the OPTION register.
6.1
6.1.2
PORTA and the TRISA Registers
PORTA is a 8-bit wide, bidirectional port. The
corresponding data direction register is TRISA
(Register 6-2). Setting a TRISA bit (= 1) will make the
corresponding PORTA pin an input (i.e., disable the
output driver). Clearing a TRISA bit (= 0) will make the
corresponding PORTA pin an output (i.e., enables
output driver and puts the contents of the output latch
on the selected pin). Example 6-1 shows how to
initialize PORTA.
Reading the PORTA register (Register 6-1) 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.
The TRISA register (Register 6-2) controls the PORTA
pin output drivers, even when they are being used as
analog inputs. The user should ensure the bits in the
TRISA register are maintained set when using them as
analog inputs. I/O pins configured as analog input always
read ‘0’.
Note:
The ANSELA register must be initialized
to configure an analog channel as a digital
input. Pins configured as analog inputs
will read ‘0’.
For enable interrupt-on-change pins, the present value
is compared with the old value latched on the last read
of PORTA to determine which bits have changed or
mismatched the old value. The ‘mismatch’ outputs of
the last read are OR’d together to set the PORTA
Change Interrupt Flag bit (RABIF) in the INTCON
register. This interrupt can wake the device from Sleep.
The user, in the Interrupt Service Routine, clears the
interrupt by:
1.
Any read or write of PORTA. This will end the
mismatch condition.
Clear the flag bit RABIF.
2.
A mismatch condition will continue to set flag bit RABIF.
Reading or writing PORTA will end the mismatch
condition and allow flag bit RABIF to be cleared. The
latch holding the last read value is not affected by a
MCLR or Brown-out Reset. After these Resets, the
RABIF flag will continue to be set if a mismatch is
present.

INTERRUPT-ON-CHANGE
All of the PORTA pins are individually configurable as
an interrupt-on-change pin. Control bits IOCA<5:0>
enable or disable the interrupt function for each pin
(see Register 6-6). The interrupt-on-change feature is
disabled on a Power-on Reset.
Preliminary
When a pin change occurs at the same
time as a read operation on PORTA, the
RABIF flag will always be set. If multiple
PORTA pins are configured for the interrupt-on-change, the user may not be able
to identify which pin changed state.

ANSELA REGISTER
The ANSELA register (Register 6-5) is used to
configure the Input mode of an I/O pin to analog.
Setting the appropriate ANSELA bit high will cause all
digital reads on the pin to be read as ‘0’ and allow
analog functions on the pin to operate correctly.
The state of the ANSELA bits has no affect on digital
output functions. A pin with TRIS clear and ANSEL set
will still operate as a digital output, but the Input mode
will be analog. This can cause unexpected behavior
when executing read-modify-write instructions on the
affected port.

6.2.1
PORTB and TRISB Registers
PORTB is an 8-bit wide, bidirectional port. The
corresponding data direction register is TRISB
(Register 6-7). Setting a TRISB bit (= 1) will make the
corresponding PORTB pin an input (i.e., put the
corresponding output driver in a High-Impedance mode).
Clearing a TRISB bit (= 0) will make the corresponding
PORTB pin an output (i.e., enable the output driver and
put the contents of the output latch on the selected pin).
Example 6-2 shows how to initialize PORTB.
Reading the PORTB register (Register 6-6) reads the
status of the pins, whereas writing to it will write to the
PORT latch. All write operations are read-modify-write
operations. Therefore, a write to a port implies that the
port pins are read, this value is modified and then written
to the PORT data latch.
The TRISB register (Register 6-7) controls the PORTB
pin output drivers, even when they are being used as
analog inputs. The user should ensure the bits in the
TRISB register are maintained set when using them as
analog inputs. I/O pins configured as analog input always
read ‘0’. Example 6-2 shows how to initialize PORTB.

Note:
ANSELB REGISTER
The ANSELB register (Register 6-10) is used to
configure the Input mode of an I/O pin to analog.
Setting the appropriate ANSELB bit high will cause all
digital reads on the pin to be read as ‘0’ and allow
analog functions on the pin to operate correctly.
The state of the ANSELB bits has no affect on digital
output functions. A pin with TRIS clear and ANSELB
set will still operate as a digital output, but the Input
mode will be analog. This can cause unexpected
behavior
when
executing
read-modify-write
instructions on the affected port.
6.2.2
WEAK PULL-UPS
Each of the PORTB pins has an individually configurable
internal weak pull-up. Control bits WPUB<7:4> enable or
disable each pull-up (see Register 6-8). Each weak pullup is automatically turned off when the port pin is
configured as an output. All pull-ups are disabled on a
Power-on Reset by the RABPU bit of the OPTION
register.
6.2.3
INTERRUPT-ON-CHANGE
All of the PORTB pins are individually configurable as an
interrupt-on-change pin. Control bits IOCB<7:4> enable
or disable the interrupt function for each pin. Refer to
Register 6-9. The interrupt-on-change feature is
disabled on a Power-on Reset.

The ANSELB register must be initialized
to configure an analog channel as a digital
input. Pins configured as analog inputs
will read ‘0’.
For enabled interrupt-on-change pins, the present value
is compared with the old value latched on the last read
of PORTB to determine which bits have changed or
mismatched the old value. The ‘mismatch’ outputs of
the last read are OR’d together to set the PORTB
Change Interrupt Flag bit (RABIF) 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 PORTB. This will end the
mismatch condition.
Clear the flag bit RABIF.
b)
A mismatch condition will continue to set flag bit RABIF.
Reading or writing PORTB will end the mismatch
condition and allow flag bit RABIF to be cleared. The latch
holding the last read value is not affected by a MCLR nor
Brown-out Reset. After these Resets, the RABIF flag will
continue to be set if a mismatch is present.
Note:
DS41430B-page 56
Preliminary
When a pin change occurs at the same
time as a read operation on PORTB, the
RABIF flag will always be set. If multiple
PORTB pins are configured for the
interrupt-on-change, the user may not be
able to identify which pin changed state.

PORTC and TRISC Registers
PORTC is a 8-bit wide, bidirectional port. The
corresponding data direction register is TRISC
(Register 6-12). Setting a TRISC bit (= 1) will make the
corresponding PORTC pin an input (i.e., put the
corresponding output driver in a High-Impedance mode).
Clearing a TRISC bit (= 0) will make the corresponding
PORTC pin an output (i.e., enable the output driver and
put the contents of the output latch on the selected pin).
Example 6-3 shows how to initialize PORTC.
Reading the PORTC register (Register 6-11) 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.
The TRISC register (Register 6-12) controls the PORTC
pin output drivers, even when they are being used as
analog inputs. The user should ensure the bits in the
TRISC register are maintained set when using them as
analog inputs. I/O pins configured as analog input always
read ‘0’.

ANSELC REGISTER
The ANSELC register (Register 6-13) is used to
configure the Input mode of an I/O pin to analog.
Setting the appropriate ANSELC bit high will cause all
digital reads on the pin to be read as ‘0’ and allow
analog functions on the pin to operate correctly.
The state of the ANSELC bits has no effect on digital
output functions. A pin with TRIS clear and ANSELC
set will still operate as a digital output, but the Input
mode will be analog. This can cause unexpected
behavior
when
executing
read-modify-write
instructions on the affected port.

OSCILLATOR MODULE
7.1
Overview
Clock source modes are configured by the FOSC bits
in Configuration Word 1 (CONFIG1). The oscillator
module can be configured for one of eight modes of
operation.
The oscillator module has a wide variety of clock sources
and selection features that allow it to be used in a wide
range of applications while maximizing performance and
minimizing power consumption. Figure 7-1 illustrates a
block diagram of the oscillator module.

2.
3.
Clock sources can be configured from external
oscillators, quartz crystal resonators, ceramic resonators

system can be configured to use an internal calibrated
high-frequency oscillator as clock source, with a choice
of selectable speeds via software.

Clock Source Modes
Clock source modes can be classified as external or
internal.
• Internal clock source (INTOSC) is contained
within the oscillator module and derived from a
500 kHz high precision oscillator. The oscillator
module has eight selectable output frequencies,
with a maximum internal frequency of 16 MHz.
• The external clock mode (EC) relies on an
external signal for the clock source.
Internal Clock Modes
The oscillator module has eight output frequencies
derived from a 500 kHz high precision oscillator. The
IRCF bits of the OSCCON register select the
postscaler applied to the clock source dividing the
frequency by 1, 2, 4 or 8. Setting the PLLEN bit of the
Configuration Word 1 locks the internal clock source to
16 MHz before the postscaler is selected by the IRCF
bits. The PLLEN bit must be set or cleared at the time
of programming; therefore, only the upper or low four
clock source frequencies are selectable in software.
Internal clock sources are contained internally within
the oscillator module. The internal oscillator block has
two internal oscillators and a dedicated Phase Locked
Loop that are used to generate three internal system
clock sources: the 16 MHz High-Frequency Internal
Oscillator (HFINTOSC) and the 500 kHz (MFINTOSC).
Both can be user-adjusted via software using the
OSCTUNE register (Register 7-2).
7.3.1
The output of the 500 kHz MFINTOSC and 16 MHz
HFINTOSC, with Phase Locked Loop enabled, connect
to a postscaler and multiplexer (see Figure 7-1). The
Internal Oscillator Frequency Select bits (IRCF) of the
OSCCON register select the frequency output of the
internal oscillator. Depending upon the PLLEN bit, one
of four frequencies of two frequency sets can be
selected via software:
If PLLEN = 1, HFINTOSC frequency selection is as
follows:
The system clock can be selected between external or
internal clock sources via the FOSC bits of the
Configuration Word 1.

62.5 kHz
Note:
Following any Reset, the IRCF<1:0> bits
of the OSCCON register are set to ‘10’ and
the frequency selection is set to 8 MHz or
250 kHz. The user can modify the IRCF
bits to select a different frequency.
There is no start-up delay before a new frequency
selected in the IRCF bits takes effect. This is because
the old and new frequencies are derived from INTOSC
via the postscaler and multiplexer.
Start-up delay specifications are located in the
Table 23-2
in
Section 23.0
“Electrical
Specifications”.
The INTOSC and INTOSCIO modes configure the
internal oscillators as the system clock source when
the device is programmed using the oscillator selection
or the FOSC<2:0> bits in the CONFIG1 register. See
Section 8.0 “Device Configuration” for more
information.
In INTOSC mode, CLKIN is available for general
purpose I/O. CLKOUT 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 INTOSCIO mode, CLKIN and CLKOUT are available
for general purpose I/O.

ANALOG-TO-DIGITAL
CONVERTER (ADC) MODULE
The Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) allows
conversion of an analog input signal to a 8-bit binary
representation of that signal. This device uses analog
inputs, which are multiplexed into a single sample and
hold circuit. The output of the sample and hold is
connected to the input of the converter. The converter
generates a 8-bit binary result via successive
approximation and stores the conversion result into the
ADC result register (ADRES). Figure 9-1 shows the
block diagram of the ADC.
The ADC voltage reference, FVREF, is an internally
generated supply only.
The ADC can generate an interrupt upon completion of
a conversion. This interrupt can be used to wake-up the
device from Sleep.

ADC Configuration
When changing channels, a delay is required before
starting the next conversion. Refer to Section 9.2
“ADC Operation” for more information.
When configuring and using the ADC the following
functions must be considered:
•
•
•
•
9.1.3

ADC conversion clock source
Interrupt control
9.1.1
•

PORT CONFIGURATION
When converting analog signals, the I/O pin selected
as the input channel should be configured for analog by
setting the associated TRIS and ANSEL bits. Refer to
Section 6.0 “I/O Ports” for more information.
Note:
Analog voltages on any pin that is defined
as a digital input may cause the input buffer to conduct excess current.
9.1.2
CONVERSION CLOCK
The source of the conversion clock is software
selectable via the ADCS bits of the ADCON1 register.
There are seven possible clock options:
FOSC/2
FOSC/4
FOSC/8
FOSC/16
FOSC/32
FOSC/64
FRC (dedicated internal oscillator)
The time to complete one bit conversion is defined as
TAD. One full 8-bit conversion requires 10 TAD periods
as shown in Figure 9-2.
CHANNEL SELECTION
For correct conversion, the appropriate TAD
specification must be met. Refer to the A/D conversion
requirements
in
Section 23.0
“Electrical
Specifications” for more information. Table 9-1 gives
examples of appropriate ADC clock selections.
There are 14 channel selections available:
- AN<11:0> pins
- Temperature Indicator
- FVR (Fixed Voltage Reference) Output
Note:
Refer to Section 11.0 “Temperature Indicator Module” and Section 10.0 “Fixed Voltage Reference” for
more information on these channel selections.
Unless using the FRC, any changes in the
system clock frequency will change the
ADC clock frequency, which may
adversely affect the ADC result.
The CHS bits of the ADCON0 register determine which
channel is connected to the sample and hold circuit.

The FRC source has a typical TAD time of 1.6 s for VDD.
These values violate the minimum required TAD time.
For faster conversion times, the selection of another clock source is recommended.
When the device frequency is greater than 1 MHz, the FRC clock source is only recommended if the
conversion will be performed during Sleep.
Recommended values for VDD  2.0V and temperature -40°C to 85°C. The 16.0 s setting should be
avoided for temperature > 85°C.

INTERRUPTS
9.2
The ADC module allows for the ability to generate an
interrupt upon completion of an Analog-to-Digital
conversion. The ADC Interrupt Flag is the ADIF bit in
the PIR1 register. The ADC Interrupt Enable is the
ADIE bit in the PIE1 register. The ADIF bit must be
cleared in software.
Note 1: The ADIF bit is set at the completion of
every conversion, regardless of whether
or not the ADC interrupt is enabled.
2: The ADC operates during Sleep only
when the FRC oscillator is selected.
This interrupt can be generated while the device is
operating or while in Sleep. If the device is in Sleep, the
interrupt will wake-up the device. Upon waking from
Sleep, the next instruction following the SLEEP
instruction is always executed. If the user is attempting
to wake-up from Sleep and resume in-line code
execution, the GIE and PEIE bits of the INTCON
register must be disabled. If the GIE and PEIE bits of
the INTCON register are enabled, execution will switch
to the Interrupt Service Routine.
Please refer to Section 9.1.4 “Interrupts” for more
information.
9.2.1
STARTING A CONVERSION
To enable the ADC module, the ADON bit of the
ADCON0 register must be set to a ‘1’. Setting the GO/
DONE bit of the ADCON0 register to a ‘1’ will start the
Analog-to-Digital conversion.
Note:
9.2.2
The GO/DONE bit should not be set in the
same instruction that turns on the ADC.
Refer to Section 9.2.6 “A/D Conversion
Procedure”.
COMPLETION OF A CONVERSION
When the conversion is complete, the ADC module will:
• Clear the GO/DONE bit
• Set the ADIF Interrupt Flag bit
• Update the ADRES register with new conversion
result
9.2.3
TERMINATING A CONVERSION
If a conversion must be terminated before completion,
the GO/DONE bit can be cleared in software. The
ADRES register will be updated with the partially complete Analog-to-Digital conversion sample. Incomplete
bits will match the last bit converted.
Note:
 2011 Microchip Technology Inc.
ADC Operation
Preliminary
A device Reset forces all registers to their
Reset state. Thus, the ADC module is
turned off and any pending conversion is
terminated.
DS41430B-page 79
PIC16(L)F720/721
9.2.4
ADC OPERATION DURING SLEEP
The ADC module can operate during Sleep. This
requires the ADC clock source to be set to the FRC
option. When the FRC clock source is selected, the
ADC waits one additional instruction before starting the
conversion. This allows the SLEEP instruction to be
executed, which can reduce system noise during the
conversion. If the ADC interrupt is enabled, the device
will wake-up from Sleep when the conversion
completes. If the ADC interrupt is disabled, the ADC
module is turned off after the conversion completes,
although the ADON bit remains set.
When the ADC clock source is something other than
FRC, a SLEEP instruction causes the present conversion to be aborted and the ADC module is turned off,
although the ADON bit remains set.
9.2.5
Using the Special Event Trigger does not assure
proper ADC timing. It is the user’s responsibility to
ensure that the ADC timing requirements are met.
Refer to Section 15.0 “Capture/Compare/PWM
(CCP) Module” for more information.
A/D CONVERSION PROCEDURE
This is an example procedure for using the ADC to
perform an Analog-to-Digital conversion:
1.
2.
3.
7.
8.
Note 1: The global interrupt can be disabled if the
user is attempting to wake-up from Sleep
and resume in-line code execution.
2: Refer to Section 9.3 “A/D Acquisition
Requirements”.
SPECIAL EVENT TRIGGER
The Special Event Trigger of the CCP module allows
periodic ADC measurements without software intervention. When this trigger occurs, the GO/DONE bit is
set by hardware and the Timer1 counter resets to zero.
9.2.6
Wait the required acquisition time(2).
Start conversion by setting the GO/DONE bit.
Wait for ADC conversion to complete by one of
the following:
• Polling the GO/DONE bit
• Waiting for the ADC interrupt (interrupts
enabled)
Read ADC Result.
Clear the ADC interrupt flag (required if interrupt
is enabled).
4.

6.
Configure Port:
• Disable pin output driver (Refer to the TRIS
register)
• Configure pin as analog (Refer to the ANSEL
register)
Configure the ADC module:
• Select ADC conversion clock

A/D Acquisition Requirements
For the ADC to meet its specified accuracy, the charge
holding capacitor (CHOLD) must be allowed to fully
charge to the input channel voltage level. The Analog
Input model is shown in Figure 9-3. The source
impedance (RS) and the internal sampling switch (RSS)
impedance directly affect the time required to charge
the capacitor CHOLD. The sampling switch (RSS)
impedance varies over the device voltage (VDD), refer
to Figure 9-3. The maximum recommended
impedance for analog sources is 10 k. As the
source impedance is decreased, the acquisition time
may be decreased. After the analog input channel is
EQUATION 9-1:
Assumptions:
selected (or changed), an A/D acquisition must be
done before the conversion can be started. To
calculate the minimum acquisition time, Equation 9-1
may be used. This equation assumes that 1/2 LSb error
is used (256 steps for the ADC). The 1/2 LSb error is
the maximum error allowed for the ADC to meet its
specified resolution. It is noted that if the device is
operated at or below 2.0V VDD with the FRC clock
selected for the ADC and if the analog input changes
by more than 1 or 2 LSBs from the previous
conversion, then the use of at least 16 s TACQ time is
recommended.
ACQUISITION TIME EXAMPLE
Temperature = 50°C and external impedance of 10k  5.0V V DD
T ACQ = Amplifier Settling Time + Hold Capacitor Charging Time + Temperature Coefficient
= T AMP + T C + T COFF
= 2µs + T C +   Temperature - 25°C   0.05µs/°C  
Note: TCOFF is zero for temperatures below 25 degrees C.
The value for TC can be approximated with the following equations:

= 2.25 µs
Therefore:
T ACQ = 2µs + 2.25µs +   50°C- 25°C   0.05µs/°C  
= 5.5µs

TEMPERATURE INDICATOR
MODULE
FIGURE 11-1:
This family of devices is equipped with a temperature
circuit designed to measure the operating temperature
of the silicon die. The circuit’s range of operating
temperature falls between -40°C and +85°C. The
output is a voltage that is proportional to the device
temperature. The output of the temperature indicator is
internally connected to the device ADC.
VDD
TSEN
TSRNG
The circuit may be used as a temperature threshold
detector or a more accurate temperature indicator,
depending on the level of calibration performed. A onepoint calibration allows the circuit to indicate a
temperature closely surrounding that point. A two-point
calibration allows the circuit to sense the entire range
of temperature more accurately. Reference Application

Temperature Indicator” (DS01333) for more details
regarding the calibration process.

Circuit Operation
Figure 11-1 shows a simplified block diagram of the
temperature circuit. The proportional voltage output is
achieved by measuring the forward voltage drop across
multiple silicon junctions.
Equation 11-1 describes the output characteristics of
the temperature indicator.

High Range: VOUT = VDD - 4VT
11.2
Minimum Operating VDD vs.
Minimum Sensing Temperature
When the temperature circuit is operated in low range,
the device may be operated at any operating voltage
that is within specifications.
When the temperature circuit is operated in high range,
the device operating voltage, VDD, must be high
enough to ensure that the temperature circuit is
correctly biased.
Table 11-1 shows the recommended minimum VDD vs.
range setting.
Low Range: VOUT = VDD - 2VT
TABLE 11-1:
The temperature sense circuit is integrated with the
Fixed Voltage Reference (FVR) module. See
Section 10.0 “Fixed Voltage Reference” for more
information.
The circuit is enabled by setting the TSEN bit of the
FVRCON register. When disabled, the circuit draws no
current.
The circuit operates in either high or low range. The high
range, selected by setting the TSRNG bit of the
FVRCON register, provides a wider output voltage. This
provides more resolution over the temperature range,
but may be less consistent from part to part. This range
requires a higher bias voltage to operate and thus, a
higher VDD is needed.

Temperature Output
The output of the circuit is measured using the internal
Analog-to-Digital converter. Channel 14 is reserved for
the temperature circuit output. Refer to Section 9.0
“Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) Module” for
detailed information.
Note:
The low range is selected by clearing the TSRNG bit of
the FVRCON register. The low range generates a lower
voltage drop and thus, a lower bias voltage is needed to
operate the circuit. The low range is provided for low
voltage operation.

TIMER0 MODULE
12.1.1
The Timer0 module will increment every instruction
cycle, if used without a prescaler. 8-Bit Timer mode is
selected by clearing the T0CS bit of the OPTION
register.
The Timer0 module is an 8-bit timer/counter with the
following features:
•
•
•
•
•
•
8-bit timer/counter register (TMR0)
8-bit prescaler (shared with Watchdog Timer)
Programmable internal or external clock source
Programmable external clock edge selection
Interrupt on overflow
TMR0 can be used to gate Timer1
When TMR0 is written, the increment is inhibited for
two instruction cycles immediately following the write.
Note:
Figure 12-1 is a block diagram of the Timer0 module.

8-BIT TIMER MODE
12.1.2
Timer0 Operation
The value written to the TMR0 register
can be adjusted, in order to account for
the two instruction cycle delay when
TMR0 is written.
8-BIT COUNTER MODE
In 8-Bit Counter mode, the Timer0 module will increment
on every rising or falling edge of the T0CKI pin.
The Timer0 module can be used as either an 8-bit timer
or an 8-bit counter.
8-Bit Counter mode using the T0CKI pin is selected by
setting the T0CS bit in the OPTION register to ‘1’.
The rising or falling transition of the incrementing edge
for either input source is determined by the T0SE bit in
the OPTION register.

SOFTWARE PROGRAMMABLE
PRESCALER
12.1.4
A single software programmable prescaler is available
for use with either Timer0 or the Watchdog Timer
(WDT), but not both simultaneously. The prescaler
assignment is controlled by the PSA bit of the OPTION
register. To assign the prescaler to Timer0, the PSA bit
must be cleared to a ‘0’.
There are 8 prescaler options for the Timer0 module
ranging from 1:2 to 1:256. The prescale values are
selectable via the PS<2:0> bits of the OPTION register.
In order to have a 1:1 prescaler value for the Timer0
module, the prescaler must be assigned to the WDT
module.
The prescaler is not readable or writable. When
assigned to the Timer0 module, all instructions writing to
the TMR0 register will clear the prescaler.
Note:
When the prescaler is assigned to WDT, a
CLRWDT instruction will clear the prescaler
along with the WDT.
DS41430B-page 92
TIMER0 INTERRUPT
Timer0 will generate an interrupt when the TMR0
register overflows from FFh to 00h. The TMR0IF
interrupt flag bit of the INTCON register is set every
time the TMR0 register overflows, regardless of
whether or not the Timer0 interrupt is enabled. The
TMR0IF bit can only be cleared in software. The Timer0
interrupt enable is the TMR0IE bit of the INTCON
register.
Note:
12.1.5
The Timer0 interrupt cannot wake the
processor from Sleep since the timer is
frozen during Sleep.
8-BIT COUNTER MODE
SYNCHRONIZATION
When in 8-Bit Counter Mode, the incrementing edge on
the T0CKI pin must be synchronized to the instruction
clock. Synchronization can be accomplished by
sampling the prescaler output on the Q2 and Q4 cycles
of the instruction clock. The high and low periods of the
external clocking source must meet the timing
requirements as shown in Section 23.0 “Electrical
Specifications”.

Timer1 Operation
13.2
The Timer1 module is a 16-bit incrementing counter
which is accessed through the TMR1H:TMR1L register
pair. Writes to TMR1H or TMR1L directly update the
counter.
When used with an internal clock source, the module is
a timer and increments on every instruction cycle.
When used with an external clock source, the module
can be used as either a timer or counter and
increments on every selected edge of the external
source.
Timer1 is enabled by configuring the TMR1ON and
TMR1GE bits in the T1CON and T1GCON registers,
respectively. Table 13-1 displays the Timer1 enable
selections.
The TMR1CS<1:0> bits of the T1CON register are used
to select the clock source for Timer1. Table 13-2 displays
the clock source selections.

Timer1 Prescaler
13.5
Timer1 Gate
Timer1 has four prescaler options allowing 1, 2, 4 or 8
divisions of the clock input. The T1CKPS bits of the
T1CON register control the prescale counter. The
prescale counter is not directly readable or writable;
however, the prescaler counter is cleared upon a write to
TMR1H or TMR1L.
Timer1 can be configured to count freely or the count
can be enabled and disabled using Timer1 gate
circuitry. This is also referred to as Timer1 gate count
enable.
13.4
13.5.1
Timer1 Operation in
Asynchronous Counter Mode
If control bit T1SYNC of the T1CON register is set, the
external clock input is not synchronized. The timer
increments asynchronously to the internal phase
clocks. If external clock source is selected then the
timer will continue to run during Sleep and can
generate an interrupt on overflow, which will wake-up
the processor. However, special precautions in
software are needed to read/write the timer (see
Section 13.4.1 “Reading and Writing Timer1 in
Asynchronous Counter Mode”).
Note:
13.4.1
When switching from synchronous to
asynchronous operation, it is possible to
skip an increment. When switching from
asynchronous to synchronous operation,
it is possible to produce an additional
increment.
READING AND WRITING TIMER1 IN
ASYNCHRONOUS COUNTER
MODE
Reading TMR1H or TMR1L while the timer is running
from an external asynchronous clock will ensure a valid
read (taken care of in hardware). However, the user
should keep in mind that reading the 16-bit timer in two
8-bit values itself, poses certain problems, since the
timer may overflow between the reads.
For writes, it is recommended that the user simply stop
the timer and write the desired values. A write
contention may occur by writing to the timer registers,
while the register is incrementing. This may produce an
unpredictable value in the TMR1H:TMR1L register pair.
 2011 Microchip Technology Inc.
Timer1 gate can also be driven by multiple selectable
sources.
TIMER1 GATE COUNT ENABLE
The Timer1 gate is enabled by setting the TMR1GE bit
of the T1GCON register. The polarity of the Timer1 gate
is configured using the T1GPOL bit of the T1GCON
register.
When Timer1 Gate (T1G) input is active, Timer1 will
increment on the rising edge of the Timer1 clock
source. When Timer1 gate input is inactive, no
incrementing will occur and Timer1 will hold the current
count. See Figure 13-3 for timing details.

TIMER1 GATE SOURCE
SELECTION
The Timer1 gate source can be selected from one of
four different sources. Source selection is controlled by
the T1GSS bits of the T1GCON register. The polarity
for each available source is also selectable. Polarity
selection is controlled by the T1GPOL bit of the
T1GCON register.

T1G Pin Gate Operation
13.5.2.4
The T1G pin is one source for Timer1 gate control. It
can be used to supply an external source to the Timer1
gate circuitry.
13.5.2.2
Timer0 Overflow Gate Operation
When Timer0 increments from FFh to 00h, a low-tohigh pulse will automatically be generated and
internally supplied to the Timer1 gate circuitry.
13.5.2.3
Timer2 Match Gate Operation
The TMR2 register will increment until it matches the
value in the PR2 register. On the very next increment
cycle, TMR2 will be reset to 00h. When this Reset
occurs, a low-to-high pulse will automatically be
generated and internally supplied to the Timer1 gate
circuitry.
Watchdog Overflow Gate Operation
The Watchdog Timer oscillator, prescaler and counter
will be automatically turned on when TMR1GE = 1 and
T1GSS selects the WDT as a gate source for Timer1
(T1GSS = 11). TMR1ON does not factor into the oscillator, prescaler and counter enable. See Table 13-5.
The PSA and PS bits of the OPTION register still
control what time-out interval is selected. Changing the
prescaler during operation may result in a spurious
capture.
Enabling the Watchdog Timer oscillator does not
automatically enable a Watchdog Reset or Wake-up
from Sleep upon counter overflow.
Note:
When using the WDT as a gate source for
Timer1, operations that clear the Watchdog
Timer (CLRWDT, SLEEP instructions) will
affect the time interval being measured.
This includes waking from Sleep. All other
interrupts that might wake the device from
Sleep should be disabled to prevent them
from disturbing the measurement period.
As the gate signal coming from the WDT counter will
generate different pulse widths depending on if the
WDT is enabled, when the CLRWDT instruction is
executed, and so on, Toggle mode must be used. A
specific sequence is required to put the device into the
correct state to capture the next WDT counter interval.

13.5.3
TIMER1 GATE TOGGLE MODE
13.5.5
When Timer1 Gate Toggle mode is enabled, it is
possible to measure the full-cycle length of a Timer1
gate signal, as opposed to the duration of a single level
pulse.
The Timer1 gate source is routed through a flip-flop that
changes state on every incrementing edge of the signal. See Figure 13-4 for timing details.
Timer1 Gate Toggle mode is enabled by setting the
T1GTM bit of the T1GCON register. When the T1GTM
bit is cleared, the flip-flop is cleared and held clear. This
is necessary in order to control which edge is
measured.
Note:
13.5.4
Enabling Toggle mode at the same time
as changing the gate polarity may result in
indeterminate operation.
TIMER1 GATE VALUE STATUS
When Timer1 gate value status is utilized, it is possible
to read the most current level of the gate control value.
The value is stored in the T1GVAL bit in the T1GCON
register. The T1GVAL bit is valid even when the Timer1
gate is not enabled (TMR1GE bit is cleared).
13.5.6
TIMER1 GATE EVENT INTERRUPT
When Timer1 gate event interrupt is enabled, it is
possible to generate an interrupt upon the completion
of a gate event. When the falling edge of T1GVAL
occurs, the TMR1GIF flag bit in the PIR1 register will be
set. If the TMR1GIE bit in the PIE1 register is set, then
an interrupt will be recognized.
The TMR1GIF flag bit operates even when the Timer1
gate is not enabled (TMR1GE bit is cleared).
TIMER1 GATE SINGLE-PULSE
MODE
When Timer1 Gate Single-Pulse mode is enabled, it is
possible to capture a single pulse gate event. Timer1
Gate Single-Pulse mode is first enabled by setting the
T1GSPM bit in the T1GCON register. Next, the
T1GGO/DONE bit in the T1GCON register must be set.
The Timer1 will be fully enabled on the next
incrementing edge. On the next trailing edge of the
pulse, the T1GGO/DONE bit will automatically be
cleared. No other gate events will be allowed to
increment Timer1 until the T1GGO/DONE bit is once
again set in software.
Clearing the T1GSPM bit of the T1GCON register will
also clear the T1GGO/DONE bit. See Figure 13-5 for
timing details.
Enabling the Toggle mode and the Single-Pulse mode
simultaneously will permit both sections to work
together. This allows the cycle times on the Timer1 gate
source to be measured. See Figure 13-6 for timing
details.

13.6
Timer1 Interrupt
13.8
The Timer1 register pair (TMR1H:TMR1L) increments
to FFFFh and rolls over to 0000h. When Timer1 rolls
over, the Timer1 interrupt flag bit of the PIR1 register is
set. To enable the interrupt on rollover, you must set
these bits:
•
•
•
•
TMR1ON bit of the T1CON register
TMR1IE bit of the PIE1 register
PEIE bit of the INTCON register
GIE bit of the INTCON register
The interrupt is cleared by clearing the TMR1IF bit in
the Interrupt Service Routine.
Note:
13.7
The TMR1H:TMR1L register pair and the
TMR1IF bit should be cleared before
enabling interrupts.
Timer1 Operation During Sleep
Timer1 can only operate during Sleep when setup in
Asynchronous Counter mode. In this mode, the clock
source can be used to increment the counter. To set up
the timer to wake the device:
•
•
•
•
•
TMR1ON bit of the T1CON register must be set
TMR1IE bit of the PIE1 register must be set
PEIE bit of the INTCON register must be set
T1SYNC bit of the T1CON register must be set
TMR1CS bits of the T1CON register must be
configured
• TMR1GE bit of the T1GCON register must be
configured
The CCP module uses the TMR1H:TMR1L register
pair as the time base when operating in Capture or
Compare mode.
In Capture mode, the value in the TMR1H:TMR1L
register pair is copied into the CCPR1H:CCPR1L
register pair on a configured event.
In Compare mode, an event is triggered when the value
CCPR1H:CCPR1L register pair matches the value in
the TMR1H:TMR1L register pair. This event can be a
Special Event Trigger.
For more information, see Section 15.0 “Capture/
Compare/PWM (CCP) Module”.
13.9
CCP Special Event Trigger
When the CCP is configured to trigger a special event,
the trigger will clear the TMR1H:TMR1L register pair.
This special event does not cause a Timer1 interrupt.
The CCP module may still be configured to generate a
CCP interrupt.
In this mode of operation, the CCPR1H:CCPR1L
register pair becomes the period register for Timer1.
Timer1 should be synchronized to the FOSC/4 to utilize
the Special Event Trigger. Asynchronous operation of
Timer1 can cause a Special Event Trigger to be
missed.
In the event that a write to TMR1H or TMR1L coincides
with a Special Event Trigger from the CCP, the write will
take precedence.
The device will wake-up on an overflow and execute
the next instructions. If the GIE bit of the INTCON
register is set, the device will call the Interrupt Service
Routine (0004h).

TIMER2 MODULE
The Timer2 module is an 8-bit timer with the following
features:
•
•
•
•
•
8-bit timer register (TMR2)
8-bit period register (PR2)
Interrupt on TMR2 match with PR2
Software programmable prescaler (1:1, 1:4, 1:16)
Software programmable postscaler (1:1 to 1:16)
Timer2 is turned on by setting the TMR2ON bit in the
T2CON register to a ‘1’. Timer2 is turned off by clearing
the TMR2ON bit to a ‘0’.
The Timer2 prescaler is controlled by the T2CKPS bits
in the T2CON register. The Timer2 postscaler is
controlled by the TOUTPS bits in the T2CON register.
The prescaler and postscaler counters are cleared
when:
See Figure 14-1 for a block diagram of Timer2.
14.1
The TMR2 and PR2 registers are both fully readable
and writable. On any Reset, the TMR2 register is set to
00h and the PR2 register is set to FFh.
Timer2 Operation
The clock input to the Timer2 module is the system
instruction clock (FOSC/4). The clock is fed into the
Timer2 prescaler, which has prescale options of 1:1,
1:4 or 1:16. The output of the prescaler is then used to
increment the TMR2 register.
• A write to TMR2 occurs.
• A write to T2CON occurs.
• Any device Reset occurs (Power-on Reset, MCLR
Reset, Watchdog Timer Reset, or Brown-out
Reset).
Note:
The values of TMR2 and PR2 are constantly compared
to determine when they match. TMR2 will increment
from 00h until it matches the value in PR2. When a
match occurs, two things happen:
TMR2 is not cleared when T2CON is
written.
• TMR2 is reset to 00h on the next increment cycle.
• The Timer2 postscaler is incremented.
The match output of the Timer2/PR2 comparator is
then fed into the Timer2 postscaler. The postscaler has
postscale options of 1:1 to 1:16 inclusive. The output of
the Timer2 postscaler is used to set the TMR2IF
interrupt flag bit in the PIR1 register.

CAPTURE/COMPARE/PWM
(CCP) MODULE
TABLE 15-1:
The Capture/Compare/PWM module is a peripheral
which allows the user to time and control different
events. In Capture mode, the peripheral allows the
timing of the duration of an event. The Compare mode
allows the user to trigger an external event when a
predetermined amount of time has expired. The PWM
mode can generate a Pulse-Width Modulated signal of
varying frequency and duty cycle.

Capture Mode
In Capture mode, CCPR1H:CCPR1L captures the
16-bit value of the TMR1 register when an event occurs
on pin CCP1. An event is defined as one of the
following and is configured by the CCP1M<3:0> bits of
the CCP1CON register:
•
•
•
•
Every falling edge
Every rising edge
Every 4th rising edge
Every 16th rising edge
15.1.1
CCP1 PIN CONFIGURATION
In Capture mode, the CCP1 pin should be configured
as an input by setting the associated TRIS control bit.
Note:
If the CCP1 pin is configured as an output,
a write to the port can cause a capture
condition.

CAPTURE DURING SLEEP
Capture mode depends upon the Timer1 module for
proper operation. There are two options for driving the
Timer1 module in Capture mode. It can be driven by the
instruction clock (FOSC/4), or by an external clock
source.
If Timer1 is clocked by FOSC/4, then Timer1 will not
increment during Sleep. When the device wakes from
Sleep, Timer1 will continue from its previous state.
TMR1L
CCP1CON<3:0>
System Clock (FOSC)
15.1.2
Switching from one capture prescaler to another does not
clear the prescaler and may generate a false interrupt. To
avoid this unexpected operation, turn the module off by
clearing the CCP1CON register before changing the
prescaler (refer to Example 15-1).
15.1.5
CCPR1L
CCP PRESCALER
There are four prescaler settings specified by the
CCP1M<3:0> bits of the CCP1CON register.
Whenever the CCP module is turned off, or the CCP
module is not in Capture mode, the prescaler counter
is cleared. Any Reset will clear the prescaler counter.
MOVWF
Set Flag bit CCP1IF
(PIR1 register)
CCP1
When the Capture mode is changed, a false capture
interrupt may be generated. The user should keep the
CCP1IE interrupt enable bit of the PIE1 register clear to
avoid false interrupts. Additionally, the user should
clear the CCP1IF interrupt flag bit of the PIR1 register
following any change in operating mode
15.1.4
When a capture is made, the Interrupt Request Flag bit
CCP1IF of the PIR1 register is set. The interrupt flag
must be cleared in software. If another capture occurs
before the value in the CCPR1H, CCPR1L register pair
is read, the old captured value is overwritten by the new
captured value (refer to Figure 15-1).
SOFTWARE INTERRUPT
If Timer1 is clocked by an external clock source, then
Capture mode will operate as defined in Section 15.1
“Capture Mode”.
Clocking Timer1 from the system clock
(FOSC) should not be used in Capture
mode. In order for Capture mode to
recognize the trigger event on the CCP1
pin, Timer1 must be clocked from the
Instruction Clock (FOSC/4) or from an
external clock source.

Compare Mode
In Compare mode, the 16-bit CCPR1 register value is
constantly compared against the TMR1 register pair
value. When a match occurs, the CCP1 module may:
•
•
•
•
•
Toggle the CCP1 output
Set the CCP1 output
Clear the CCP1 output
Generate a Special Event Trigger
Generate a Software Interrupt
In Compare mode, Timer1 must be running in either
Timer mode or Synchronized Counter mode. The
compare operation may not work in Asynchronous
Counter mode.
Note:
The action on the pin is based on the value of the
CCP1M<3:0> control bits of the CCP1CON register.
All Compare modes can generate an interrupt.

SPECIAL EVENT TRIGGER
When Special Event Trigger mode is chosen
(CCP1M<3:0> = 1011), the CCP1 module does the
following:
• Resets Timer1
• Starts an ADC conversion if ADC is enabled
The Special Event Trigger output of the CCP occurs
immediately upon a match between the TMR1H,
TMR1L register pair and the CCPR1H, CCPR1L
register pair. The TMR1H, TMR1L register pair is not
reset until the next rising edge of the Timer1 clock. This
allows the CCPR1H, CCPR1L register pair to
effectively provide a 16-bit programmable period
register for Timer1.
Special Event Trigger will:
• Clear TMR1H and TMR1L registers.
• NOT set interrupt flag bit TMR1IF of the PIR1 register.
• Set the GO/DONE bit to start the ADC conversion.
CCP1 PIN CONFIGURATION
The user must configure the CCP1 pin as an output by
clearing the associated TRIS bit.
Note:
SOFTWARE INTERRUPT MODE
The CCP1 module does not assert control of the CCP1
pin in this mode (refer to the CCP1CON register).
Special Event Trigger
15.2.1
Clocking Timer1 from the system clock
(FOSC) should not be used in Compare
mode. For the Compare operation of the
TMR1 register to the CCPR1 register to
occur, Timer1 must be clocked from the
instruction clock (FOSC/4) or from an
external clock source.
When Software Interrupt mode is chosen
(CCP1M<3:0> = 1010), the CCP1IF bit in the PIR1
register is set and the CCP1 module does not assert
control of the CCP1 pin (refer to the CCP1CON
register).

TIMER1 MODE SELECTION
Clearing the CCP1CON register will force

data latch.
Note 1: The Special Event Trigger from the CCP
module does not set interrupt flag bit
TMR1IF of the PIR1 register.
2: Removing the match condition by
changing the contents of the CCPR1H
and CCPR1L register pair, between the
clock edge that generates the Special
Event Trigger and the clock edge that
generates the Timer1 Reset, will
preclude the Reset from occurring.
15.2.5
COMPARE DURING SLEEP
The Compare mode is dependent upon the system
clock (FOSC) for proper operation. Since FOSC is shut
down during Sleep mode, the Compare mode will not
function properly during Sleep.

signal on the CCP1 pin. The duty cycle, period and
resolution are determined by the following registers:
•
•
•
•
The PWM output (Figure 15-4) has a time base
(period) and a time that the output stays high (duty
cycle).
FIGURE 15-4:

Figure 15-3 shows a simplified block diagram of PWM
operation.

Figure 15-4 shows a typical waveform of the PWM
signal.
In PWM mode, the CCP1 pin is multiplexed with the
PORT data latch. The user must configure the CCP1
pin as an output by clearing the associated TRIS bit.
For a step-by-step procedure on how to set up the CCP
module for PWM operation, refer to Section 15.3.8

PWM PERIOD
15.3.3
The PWM period is specified by the PR2 register of
Timer2. The PWM period can be calculated using the
formula of Equation 15-1.
EQUATION 15-1:
PWM PERIOD
PWM Period =   PR2  + 1   4  T OSC 
(TMR2 Prescale Value)
Note:
TOSC = 1/FOSC
When TMR2 is equal to PR2, the following three events
occur on the next increment cycle:
• TMR2 is cleared
• The CCP1 pin is set. (Exception: If the PWM duty
cycle = 0%, the pin will not be set.)
• The PWM duty cycle is latched from CCPR1L into
CCPR1H.
PWM DUTY CYCLE
The PWM duty cycle is specified by writing a 10-bit value
to multiple registers: CCPR1L register and DC1 and B1
bits of the CCP1CON register. The CCPR1L contains
the eight MSbs and the DC1 and B1 bits of the
CCP1CON register contain the two LSbs. CCPR1L and
DC1 and B1 bits of the CCP1CON register can be
written to at any time. The duty cycle value is not latched
into CCPR1H until after the period completes (i.e., a
match between PR2 and TMR2 registers occurs). While
using the PWM, the CCPR1H register is read-only.
Equation 15-2 is used to calculate the PWM pulse
width.
Equation 15-3 is used to calculate the PWM duty cycle
ratio.
EQUATION 15-2:
PULSE WIDTH
Pulse Width =  CCPR1L:CCP1CON<5:4>  
T OSC  (TMR2 Prescale Value)
Note:
The

(refer
to
Section 14.1 “Timer2 Operation”) is not
used in the determination of the PWM
frequency.
Note: TOSC = 1/FOSC
EQUATION 15-3:
DUTY CYCLE RATIO
 CCPR1L:CCP1CON<5:4> 
Duty Cycle Ratio = ----------------------------------------------------------------------4  PR2 + 1 
The CCPR1H register and a 2-bit internal latch are
used to double buffer the PWM duty cycle. This double
buffering is essential for glitchless PWM operation.
The 8-bit timer TMR2 register is concatenated with
either the 2-bit internal system clock (FOSC), or 2 bits of
the prescaler, to create the 10-bit time base. The system
clock is used if the Timer2 prescaler is set to 1:1.
When the 10-bit time base matches the CCPR1H and
2-bit latch, then the CCP1 pin is cleared (refer to
Figure 15-3).

PWM RESOLUTION
EQUATION 15-4:
The resolution determines the number of available duty
cycles for a given period. For example, a 10-bit resolution
will result in 1024 discrete duty cycles, whereas an 8-bit
resolution will result in 256 discrete duty cycles.
log  4  PR2 + 1  

The maximum PWM resolution is 10 bits when PR2 is

OPERATION IN SLEEP MODE
15.3.8
In Sleep mode, the TMR2 register will not increment
and the state of the module will not change. If the CCP1

When the device wakes up, TMR2 will continue from its
previous state.

The

Universal
Synchronous
Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter (AUSART)
module is a serial I/O communications peripheral. It
contains all the clock generators, shift registers and
data buffers necessary to perform an input or output
serial data transfer independent of device program
execution. The AUSART, also known as a Serial
Communications Interface (SCI), can be configured as
a full-duplex asynchronous system or half-duplex
synchronous system. Full-Duplex mode is useful for
communications with peripheral systems, such as CRT
terminals and personal computers. Half-Duplex
Synchronous mode is intended for communications
with peripheral devices, such as A/D or D/A integrated
circuits, serial EEPROMs or other microcontrollers.
These devices typically do not have internal clocks for
baud rate generation and require the external clock
signal provided by a master synchronous device.

16.1
AUSART Asynchronous Mode
The AUSART transmits and receives data using the
standard non-return-to-zero (NRZ) format. NRZ is
implemented with two levels: a VOH mark state which
represents a ‘1’ data bit, and a VOL space state which
represents a ‘0’ data bit. NRZ refers to the fact that
consecutively transmitted data bits of the same value
stay at the output level of that bit without returning to a
neutral level between each bit transmission. An NRZ
transmission port idles in the mark state. Each character
transmission consists of one Start bit followed by eight
or nine data bits and is always terminated by one or
more Stop bits. The Start bit is always a space and the
Stop bits are always marks. The most common data
format is 8 bits. Each transmitted bit persists for a period
of 1/(baud rate). An on-chip dedicated 8-bit Baud Rate
Generator is used to derive standard baud rate
frequencies from the system oscillator. Refer to
Table 16-5 for examples of baud rate configurations.
The AUSART transmits and receives the LSb first. The
AUSART’s transmitter and receiver are functionally
independent, but share the same data format and baud
rate. Parity is not supported by the hardware, but can
be implemented in software and stored as the ninth
data bit.
16.1.1
AUSART ASYNCHRONOUS
TRANSMITTER
Enabling the Transmitter
The AUSART transmitter is enabled for asynchronous
operations by configuring the following three control
bits:
• TXEN = 1
• SYNC = 0
• SPEN = 1
All other AUSART control bits are assumed to be in
their default state.
Setting the TXEN bit of the TXSTA register enables the
transmitter circuitry of the AUSART. Clearing the SYNC
bit of the TXSTA register configures the AUSART for
asynchronous operation. Setting the SPEN bit of the
RCSTA register enables the AUSART and automatically
configures the TX/CK I/O pin as an output.
 2011 Microchip Technology Inc.
2: The TXIF transmitter interrupt flag is set
when the TXEN enable bit is set.
16.1.1.2
Transmitting Data
A transmission is initiated by writing a character to the
TXREG register. If this is the first character, or the
previous character has been completely flushed from
the TSR, the data in the TXREG is immediately
transferred to the TSR register. If the TSR still contains
all or part of a previous character, the new character
data is held in the TXREG until the Stop bit of the
previous character has been transmitted. The pending
character in the TXREG is then transferred to the TSR
in one TCY immediately following the Stop bit
transmission. The transmission of the Start bit, data bits
and Stop bit sequence commences immediately
following the transfer of the data to the TSR from the
TXREG.
16.1.1.3
The AUSART transmitter block diagram is shown in
Figure 16-1. The heart of the transmitter is the serial
Transmit Shift Register (TSR), which is not directly
accessible by software. The TSR obtains its data from
the transmit buffer, which is the TXREG register.
16.1.1.1
Note 1: When the SPEN bit is set the RX/DT I/O
pin is automatically configured as an input,
regardless of the state of the corresponding TRIS bit and whether or not the AUSART receiver is enabled. The RX/DT pin
data can be read via a normal PORT read
but PORT latch data output is precluded.
Transmit Interrupt Flag
The TXIF interrupt flag bit of the PIR1 register is set
whenever the AUSART transmitter is enabled and no
character is being held for transmission in the TXREG.
In other words, the TXIF bit is only clear when the TSR
is busy with a character and a new character has been
queued for transmission in the TXREG. The TXIF flag bit
is not cleared immediately upon writing TXREG. TXIF
becomes valid in the second instruction cycle following
the write execution. Polling TXIF immediately following
the TXREG write will return invalid results. The TXIF bit
is read-only, it cannot be set or cleared by software.
The TXIF interrupt can be enabled by setting the TXIE
interrupt enable bit of the PIE1 register. However, the
TXIF flag bit will be set whenever the TXREG is empty,
regardless of the state of TXIE enable bit.
To use interrupts when transmitting data, set the TXIE
bit only when there is more data to send. Clear the
TXIE interrupt enable bit upon writing the last character
of the transmission to the TXREG.
Preliminary
DS41430B-page 121
PIC16(L)F720/721
16.1.1.4
TSR Status
16.1.1.6
The TRMT bit of the TXSTA register indicates the
status of the TSR register. This is a read-only bit. The
TRMT bit is set when the TSR register is empty and is
cleared when a character is transferred to the TSR
register from the TXREG. The TRMT bit remains clear
until all bits have been shifted out of the TSR register.
No interrupt logic is tied to this bit, so the user has to
poll this bit to determine the TSR status.
Note:
1.
2.
3.
The TSR register is not mapped in data
memory, so it is not available to the user.
4.
16.1.1.5
Transmitting 9-Bit Characters
The AUSART supports 9-bit character transmissions.
When the TX9 bit of the TXSTA register is set, the
AUSART will shift 9 bits out for each character transmitted. The TX9D bit of the TXSTA register is the ninth,
and Most Significant, data bit. When transmitting 9-bit
data, the TX9D data bit must be written before writing
the 8 Least Significant bits into the TXREG. All nine bits
of data will be transferred to the TSR shift register
immediately after the TXREG is written.
5.
6.
7.
Asynchronous Transmission Setup:
Initialize the SPBRG register and the BRGH bit to
achieve the desired baud rate (Refer to
Section 16.2 “AUSART Baud Rate Generator
(BRG)”).
Enable the asynchronous serial port by clearing
the SYNC bit and setting the SPEN bit.
If 9-bit transmission is desired, set the TX9 control bit. A set ninth data bit will indicate that the 8
Least Significant data bits are an address when
the receiver is set for address detection.
Enable the transmission by setting the TXEN
control bit. This will cause the TXIF interrupt bit
to be set.
If interrupts are desired, set the TXIE interrupt
enable bit of the PIE1 register. An interrupt will
occur immediately provided that the GIE and
PEIE bits of the INTCON register are also set.
If 9-bit transmission is selected, the ninth bit
should be loaded into the TX9D data bit.
Load 8-bit data into the TXREG register. This
will start the transmission.
A special 9-bit Address mode is available for use with
multiple receivers. Refer to Section 16.1.2.7 “Address
Detection” for more information on the Address mode.

AUSART ASYNCHRONOUS
RECEIVER
16.1.2.1
The Asynchronous mode is typically used in RS-232
systems. The receiver block diagram is shown in
Figure 16-2. The data is received on the 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 serial Receive Shift
Register (RSR) operates at the bit rate. When all 8 or 9
bits of the character have been shifted in, they are
immediately transferred to a two character First-In
First-Out (FIFO) memory. The FIFO buffering allows
reception of two complete characters and the start of a
third character before software must start servicing the
AUSART receiver. The FIFO and RSR registers are not
directly accessible by software. Access to the received
data is via the RCREG register.
The AUSART receiver is enabled for asynchronous
operation by configuring the following three control bits:
• CREN = 1
• SYNC = 0
• SPEN = 1
All other AUSART control bits are assumed to be in
their default state.
Setting the CREN bit of the RCSTA register enables the
receiver circuitry of the AUSART. Clearing the SYNC bit
of the TXSTA register configures the AUSART for
asynchronous operation. Setting the SPEN bit of the
RCSTA register enables the AUSART and
automatically configures the RX/DT I/O pin as an input.
Note:
 2011 Microchip Technology Inc.
Enabling the Receiver
Preliminary
When the SPEN bit is set, the TX/CK I/O
pin is automatically configured as an
output, regardless of the state of the
corresponding TRIS bit and whether or
not the AUSART transmitter is enabled.
The PORT latch is disconnected from the
output driver so it is not possible to use the
TX/CK pin as a general purpose output.
DS41430B-page 123
PIC16(L)F720/721
16.1.2.2
Receiving Data
16.1.2.4
The receiver data recovery circuit initiates character
reception on the falling edge of the first bit. The first bit,
also known as the Start bit, is always a zero. The data
recovery circuit counts one-half bit time to the center of
the Start bit and verifies that the bit is still a zero. If it is
not a zero then the data recovery circuit aborts
character reception, without generating an error, and
resumes looking for the falling edge of the Start bit. If
the Start bit zero verification succeeds then the data
recovery circuit counts a full bit time to the center of the
next bit. The bit is then sampled by a majority detect
circuit and the resulting ‘0’ or ‘1’ is shifted into the RSR.
This repeats until all data bits have been sampled and
shifted into the RSR. One final bit time is measured and
the level sampled. This is the Stop bit, which is always
a ‘1’. If the data recovery circuit samples a ‘0’ in the
Stop bit position then a framing error is set for this
character, otherwise the framing error is cleared for this
character. Refer to Section 16.1.2.4 “Receive
Framing Error” for more information on framing
errors.
Immediately after all data bits and the Stop bit have
been received, the character in the RSR is transferred
to the AUSART receive FIFO and the RCIF interrupt
flag bit of the PIR1 register is set. The top character in
the FIFO is transferred out of the FIFO by reading the
RCREG register.
Note:
16.1.2.3
If the receive FIFO is overrun, no additional
characters will be received until the overrun
condition
is
cleared.
Refer
to
Section 16.1.2.5 “Receive Overrun
Error” for more information on overrun
errors.
Receive Interrupts
The RCIF interrupt flag bit of the PIR1 register is set
whenever the AUSART receiver is enabled and there is
an unread character in the receive FIFO. The RCIF
interrupt flag bit is read-only, it cannot be set or cleared
by software.
RCIF interrupts are enabled by setting all of the
following bits:
• RCIE interrupt enable bit of the PIE1 register
• PEIE, Peripheral Interrupt Enable bit of the
INTCON register
• GIE, Global Interrupt Enable bit of the INTCON
register
Receive Framing Error
Each character in the receive FIFO buffer has a
corresponding framing error Status bit. A framing error
indicates that a Stop bit was not seen at the expected
time. The framing error status is accessed via the
FERR bit of the RCSTA register. The FERR bit
represents the status of the top unread character in the
receive FIFO. Therefore, the FERR bit must be read
before reading the RCREG.
The FERR bit is read-only and only applies to the top
unread character in the receive FIFO. A framing error
(FERR = 1) does not preclude reception of additional
characters. It is not necessary to clear the FERR bit.
Reading the next character from the FIFO buffer will
advance the FIFO to the next character and the next
corresponding framing error.
The FERR bit can be forced clear by clearing the SPEN
bit of the RCSTA register which resets the AUSART.
Clearing the CREN bit of the RCSTA register does not
affect the FERR bit. A framing error by itself does not
generate an interrupt.
Note:
16.1.2.5
If all receive characters in the receive
FIFO have framing errors, repeated reads
of the RCREG will not clear the FERR bit.
Receive Overrun Error
The receive FIFO buffer can hold two characters. An
overrun error will be generated if a third character, in its
entirety, is received before the FIFO is accessed. When
this happens the OERR bit of the RCSTA register is set.
The characters already in the FIFO buffer can be read
but no additional characters will be received until the
error is cleared. The error must be cleared by either
clearing the CREN bit of the RCSTA register or by
setting the AUSART by clearing the SPEN bit of the
RCSTA register.
16.1.2.6
Receiving 9-bit Characters
The AUSART supports 9-bit character reception. When
the RX9 bit of the RCSTA register is set, the AUSART
will shift 9 bits into the RSR for each character
received. The RX9D bit of the RCSTA register is the
ninth and Most Significant data bit of the top unread
character in the receive FIFO. When reading 9-bit data
from the receive FIFO buffer, the RX9D data bit must
be read before reading the 8 Least Significant bits from
the RCREG.
The RCIF interrupt flag bit of the PIR1 register will be
set when there is an unread character in the FIFO,
regardless of the state of interrupt enable bits.

16.1.2.7
Address Detection
16.1.2.9
A special Address Detection mode is available for use
when multiple receivers share the same transmission
line, such as in RS-485 systems. Address detection is
enabled by setting the ADDEN bit of the RCSTA
register.
Address detection requires 9-bit character reception.
When address detection is enabled, only characters
with the ninth data bit set will be transferred to the
receive FIFO buffer, thereby setting the RCIF interrupt
bit of the PIR1 register. All other characters will be
ignored.
Upon receiving an address character, user software
determines if the address matches its own. Upon
address match, user software must disable address
detection by clearing the ADDEN bit before the next
Stop bit occurs. When user software detects the end of
the message, determined by the message protocol
used, software places the receiver back into the
Address Detection mode by setting the ADDEN bit.

6. Enable reception by setting the CREN bit.
7. The RCIF interrupt flag bit of the PIR1 register
will be set when a character with the ninth bit set
is transferred from the RSR to the receive buffer.
An interrupt will be generated if the RCIE interrupt enable bit of the PIE1 register was also set.
8. Read the RCSTA register to get the error flags.
The ninth data bit will always be set.
9. Get the received 8 Least Significant data bits
from the receive buffer by reading the RCREG
register. Software determines if this is the
device’s address.
10. If an overrun occurred, clear the OERR flag by
clearing the CREN receiver enable bit.
11. If the device has been addressed, clear the
ADDEN bit to allow all received data into the

EXAMPLE 16-1:
AUSART Baud Rate Generator
(BRG)
CALCULATING BAUD
RATE ERROR
For a device with FOSC of 16 MHz, desired baud rate of
9600, and Asynchronous mode with SYNC = 0 and BRGH
= 0 (as seen in Table 16-5):
The Baud Rate Generator (BRG) is an 8-bit timer that
is dedicated to the support of both the asynchronous
and synchronous AUSART operation.
F OS C
Desired Baud Rate = --------------------------------------64  SPBRG + 1 
The SPBRG register determines the period of the free
running baud rate timer. In Asynchronous mode the
multiplier of the baud rate period is determined by the
BRGH bit of the TXSTA register. In Synchronous mode,
the BRGH bit is ignored.
Solving for SPBRG:
F OS C
SPBRG =  --------------------------------------------------------- – 1
 64  Desired Baud Rate 
Table 16-3 contains the formulas for determining the
baud rate. Example 16-1 provides a sample calculation
for determining the baud rate and baud rate error.
16000000
=  ------------------------ – 1
 64  9600 
Typical baud rates and error values for various
asynchronous modes have been computed for your
convenience and are shown in Table 16-5. It may be
advantageous to use the high baud rate (BRGH = 1), to
reduce the baud rate error.
=  25.042  = 25
16000000
Actual Baud Rate = --------------------------64  25 + 1 
Writing a new value to the SPBRG register causes the
BRG timer to be reset (or cleared). This ensures that
the BRG does not wait for a timer overflow before
outputting the new baud rate.
= 9615
Actual Baud Rate – Desired Baud Rate
% Error =  -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 100


Desired Baud Rate
9615 – 9600
=  ------------------------------ 100 = 0.16%

16.3.1.2
AUSART Synchronous Mode
Synchronous serial communications are typically used
in systems with a single master and one or more
slaves. The master device contains the necessary circuitry for baud rate generation and supplies the clock
for all devices in the system. Slave devices can take
advantage of the master clock by eliminating the
internal clock generation circuitry.
There are two signal lines in Synchronous mode: a
bidirectional data line and a clock line. Slaves use the
external clock supplied by the master to shift the serial
data into and out of their respective receive and transmit shift registers. Since the data line is bidirectional,
synchronous operation is half-duplex only. Half-duplex
refers to the fact that master and slave devices can
receive and transmit data but not both simultaneously.
The AUSART can operate as either a master or slave
device.
Data is transferred out of the device on the RX/DT pin.
The RX/DT and TX/CK pin output drivers are automatically enabled when the AUSART is configured for
synchronous master transmit operation.
A transmission is initiated by writing a character to the
TXREG register. If the TSR still contains all or part of a
previous character, the new character data is held in
the TXREG until the last bit of the previous character
has been transmitted. If this is the first character, or the
previous character has been completely flushed from
the TSR, the data in the TXREG is immediately transferred to the TSR. The transmission of the character
commences immediately following the transfer of the
data to the TSR from the TXREG.
Each data bit changes on the leading edge of the
master clock and remains valid until the subsequent
leading clock edge.
Start and Stop bits are not used in synchronous
transmissions.
16.3.1
SYNCHRONOUS MASTER MODE
The following bits are used to configure the AUSART
for Synchronous Master operation:
•
•
•
•
•
SYNC = 1
CSRC = 1
SREN = 0 (for transmit); SREN = 1 (for receive)
CREN = 0 (for transmit); CREN = 1 (for receive)
SPEN = 1
16.3.1.1
Note:
The TSR register is not mapped in data
memory, so it is not available to the user.
16.3.1.3
Synchronous Master Transmission
Setup:
1.
2.
Setting the SYNC bit of the TXSTA register configures
the device for synchronous operation. Setting the CSRC
bit of the TXSTA register configures the device as a
master. Clearing the SREN and CREN bits of the RCSTA
register ensures that the device is in the Transmit mode,
otherwise the device will be configured to receive. Setting
the SPEN bit of the RCSTA register enables the
AUSART.

4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
Synchronous data transfers use a separate clock line,
which is synchronous with the data. A device configured as a master transmits the clock on the TX/CK line.
The TX/CK pin output driver is automatically enabled
when the AUSART is configured for synchronous
transmit or receive operation. Serial data bits change
on the leading edge to ensure they are valid at the trailing edge of each clock. One clock cycle is generated
for each data bit. Only as many clock cycles are
generated as there are data bits.

Synchronous Master Transmission
Preliminary
Initialize the SPBRG register and the BRGH bit
to achieve the desired baud rate (refer to
Section 16.2 “AUSART Baud Rate Generator
(BRG)”).
Enable the synchronous master serial port by
setting bits SYNC, SPEN and CSRC.
Disable Receive mode by clearing bits SREN
and CREN.
Enable Transmit mode by setting the TXEN bit.
If 9-bit transmission is desired, set the TX9 bit.
If interrupts are desired, set the TXIE bit of the
PIE1 register and the GIE and PEIE bits of the
INTCON register.
If 9-bit transmission is selected, the ninth bit
should be loaded in the TX9D bit.
Start transmission by loading data to the TXREG
register.

Synchronous Master Reception
16.3.1.7
Data is received at the RX/DT pin. The RX/DT pin
output driver is automatically disabled when the
AUSART is configured for synchronous master receive
operation.
In Synchronous mode, reception is enabled by setting
either the Single Receive Enable bit (SREN of the
RCSTA register) or the Continuous Receive Enable bit
(CREN of the RCSTA register).
When SREN is set and CREN is clear, only as many
clock cycles are generated as there are data bits in a
single character. The SREN bit is automatically cleared
at the completion of one character. When CREN is set,
clocks are continuously generated until CREN is
cleared. If CREN is cleared in the middle of a character
the CK clock stops immediately and the partial character is discarded. If SREN and CREN are both set, then
SREN is cleared at the completion of the first character
and CREN takes precedence.
To initiate reception, set either SREN or CREN. Data is
sampled at the RX/DT pin on the trailing edge of the
TX/CK clock pin and is shifted into the Receive Shift
Register (RSR). When a complete character is
received into the RSR, the RCIF bit of the PIR1 register
is set and the character is automatically transferred to
the two character receive FIFO. The Least Significant
eight bits of the top character in the receive FIFO are
available in RCREG. The RCIF bit remains set as long
as there are un-read characters in the receive FIFO.
16.3.1.5
Slave Clock
Synchronous data transfers use a separate clock line,
which is synchronous with the data. A device configured
as a slave receives the clock on the TX/CK line. The TX/
CK pin output driver is automatically disabled when the
device is configured for synchronous slave transmit or
receive operation. Serial data bits change on the leading
edge to ensure they are valid at the trailing edge of each
clock. One data bit is transferred for each clock cycle.
Only as many clock cycles should be received as there
are data bits.
16.3.1.6
Receive Overrun Error
The receive FIFO buffer can hold two characters. An
overrun error will be generated if a third character, in its
entirety, is received before RCREG is read to access
the FIFO. When this happens the OERR bit of the
RCSTA register is set. Previous data in the FIFO will
not be overwritten. The two characters in the FIFO
buffer can be read, however, no additional characters
will be received until the error is cleared. The OERR bit
can only be cleared by clearing the overrun condition.
If the overrun error occurred when the SREN bit is set
and CREN is clear then the error is cleared by reading
RCREG. If the overrun occurred when the CREN bit is
set then the error condition is cleared by either clearing
the CREN bit of the RCSTA register.
DS41430B-page 134
Receiving 9-bit Characters
The AUSART supports 9-bit character reception. When
the RX9 bit of the RCSTA register is set, the AUSART
will shift 9-bits into the RSR for each character
received. The RX9D bit of the RCSTA register is the
ninth, and Most Significant, data bit of the top unread
character in the receive FIFO. When reading 9-bit data
from the receive FIFO buffer, the RX9D data bit must
be read before reading the 8 Least Significant bits from
the RCREG.
Address detection in Synchronous modes is not
supported, therefore the ADDEN bit of the RCSTA
register must be cleared.
16.3.1.8
Synchronous Master Reception
Setup
1.
Initialize the SPBRG register for the appropriate
baud rate. Set or clear the BRGH bit, 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 the RCIE bit of the
PIE1 register and the GIE and PEIE bits of the
INTCON register.
5. If 9-bit reception is desired, set bit RX9.
6. Verify address detection is disabled by clearing
the ADDEN bit of the RCSTA register.
7. Start reception by setting the SREN bit or for
continuous reception, set the CREN bit.
8. Interrupt flag bit RCIF of the PIR1 register will be
set when reception of a character is complete.
An interrupt will be generated if the RCIE interrupt enable bit of the PIE1 register was set.
9. Read the RCSTA register to get the ninth bit (if
enabled) and determine if any error occurred
during reception.
10. Read the 8-bit received data by reading the
RCREG register.
11. If an overrun error occurs, clear the error by
either clearing the CREN bit of the RCSTA
register or by clearing the SPEN bit, which
resets the AUSART.

AUSART Operation During Sleep
The AUSART will remain active during Sleep only in the
Synchronous Slave mode. All other modes require the
system clock and therefore cannot generate the
necessary signals to run the Transmit or Receive Shift
registers during Sleep.
Synchronous Slave mode uses an externally generated
clock to run the Transmit and Receive Shift registers.
16.4.1
SYNCHRONOUS RECEIVE DURING
SLEEP
To receive during Sleep, all the following conditions
must be met before entering Sleep mode:
• RCSTA and TXSTA Control registers must be
configured for synchronous slave reception (refer
to Section 16.3.2.4 “Synchronous Slave
Reception Setup”).
• If interrupts are desired, set the RCIE bit of the
PIE1 register and the PEIE bit of the INTCON
register.
• The RCIF interrupt flag must be cleared by
reading RCREG to unload any pending
characters in the receive buffer.
Upon entering Sleep mode, the device will be ready to
accept data and clocks on the RX/DT and TX/CK pins,
respectively. When the data word has been completely
clocked in by the external device, the RCIF interrupt
flag bit of the PIR1 register will be set. Thereby, waking
the processor from Sleep.
16.4.2
SYNCHRONOUS TRANSMIT
DURING SLEEP
To transmit during Sleep, all the following conditions
must be met before entering Sleep mode:
• RCSTA and TXSTA Control registers must be
configured for synchronous slave transmission
(refer to Section 16.3.2.2 “Synchronous Slave
Transmission Setup”).
• The TXIF interrupt flag must be cleared by writing
the output data to the TXREG, thereby filling the
TSR and transmit buffer.
• If interrupts are desired, set the TXIE bit of the
PIE1 register and the PEIE bit of the INTCON
register.
Upon entering Sleep mode, the device will be ready to
accept clocks on the TX/CK pin and transmit data on
the RX/DT pin. When the data word in the TSR has
been completely clocked out by the external device, the
pending byte in the TXREG will transfer to the TSR and
the TXIF flag will be set. Thereby, waking the processor
from Sleep. At this point, the TXREG is available to
accept another character for transmission, which will
clear the TXIF flag.
Upon waking from Sleep, the instruction following the
SLEEP instruction will be executed. If the GIE, Global
Interrupt Enable bit is also set then the Interrupt
Service Routine at address 0004h will be called.
Upon waking from Sleep, the instruction following the

SSP MODULE OVERVIEW
The Synchronous Serial Port (SSP) module is a serial
interface useful for communicating with other peripherals or microcontroller devices. These peripheral
devices may be serial EEPROMs, shift registers, display drivers, A/D converters, etc. The SSP module can
operate in one of two modes:
• Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI)
• Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C™)
17.1
A typical SPI connection between microcontroller
devices is shown in Figure 17-1. Addressing of more
than one slave device is accomplished via multiple
hardware slave select lines. External hardware and
additional I/O pins must be used to support multiple
slave select addressing. This prevents extra overhead
in software for communication.
For SPI communication, typically three pins are used:
• Serial Data Out (SDO)
• Serial Data In (SDI)
• Serial Clock (SCK)
SPI Mode
The SPI mode allows 8 bits of data to be synchronously
transmitted and received, simultaneously. The SSP
module can be operated in one of two SPI modes:
Additionally, a fourth pin may be used when in a Slave
mode of operation:
• Slave Select (SS)
• Master mode
• Slave mode
SPI is a full-duplex protocol, with all communication
being bidirectional and initiated by a master device. All
clocking is provided by the master device and all bits
are transmitted, MSb first. Care must be taken to
ensure that all devices on the SPI bus are setup to
allow all controllers to send and receive data at the
same time.

17.1.1
MASTER MODE
17.1.1.3
In Master mode, data transfer can be initiated at any
time because the master controls the SCK line. Master
mode determines when the slave (Figure 17-1,
Processor 2) transmits data via control of the SCK line.
17.1.1.1
Master Mode Operation
The SSP consists of a transmit/receive shift register
(SSPSR) and a buffer register (SSPBUF). The SSPSR
register shifts the data in and out of the device, MSb
first. The SSPBUF register holds the data that is written
out of the master until the received data is ready. Once
the eight bits of data have been received, the byte is
moved to the SSPBUF register. The Buffer Full Status
bit, BF of the SSPSTAT register, and the SSP Interrupt
Flag bit, SSPIF of the PIR1 register, are then set.
Any write to the SSPBUF register during transmission/
reception of data will be ignored and the Write Collision
Detect bit, WCOL of the SSPCON register, will be set.
User software must clear the WCOL bit so that it can be
determined if the following write(s) to the SSPBUF
register completed successfully.
When the application software is expecting to receive
valid data, the SSPBUF should be read before the next
byte of data is written to the SSPBUF. The BF bit of the
SSPSTAT register is set when SSPBUF has been
loaded with the received data (transmission is
complete). When the SSPBUF is read, the BF bit is
cleared. This data may be irrelevant if the SPI is only a
transmitter. The SSP interrupt may be used to
determine when the transmission/reception is
complete and the SSPBUF must be read and/or
written. If interrupts are not used, then software polling
can be done to ensure that a write collision does not
occur. Example 17-1 shows the loading of the SSPBUF
(SSPSR) for data transmission.
Note:
17.1.1.2
The SSPSR is not directly readable or
writable and can only be accessed by
addressing the SSPBUF register.
Enabling Master I/O
To enable the serial port, the SSPEN bit of the
SSPCON register, must be set. To reset or reconfigure
SPI mode, clear the SSPEN bit, re-initialize the
SSPCON register and then set the SSPEN bit. If a
Master mode of operation is selected in the SSPM bits
of the SSPCON register, the SDI, SDO and SCK pins
will be assigned as serial port pins.
Master Mode Setup
In Master mode, the data is transmitted/received as
soon as the SSPBUF register is loaded with a byte
value. If the master is only going to receive, SDO output
could be disabled (programmed and used as an input).
The SSPSR register will continue to shift in the signal
present on the SDI pin at the programmed clock rate.
When initializing SPI Master mode operation, several
options need to be specified. This is accomplished by
programming the appropriate control bits in the
SSPCON and SSPSTAT registers. These control bits
allow the following to be specified:
•
•
•
•
•
SCK as clock output
Idle state of SCK (CKP bit)
Data input sample phase (SMP bit)
Output data on rising/falling edge of SCK (CKE bit)
Clock bit rate
In Master mode, the SPI clock rate (bit rate) is user
selectable to be one of the following:
•
•
•
•
FOSC/4 (or TCY)
FOSC/16 (or 4  TCY)
FOSC/64 (or 16  TCY)
(Timer2 output)/2
This allows a maximum data rate of 5 Mbps
(at FOSC = 16 MHz).
Figure 17-3 shows the waveforms for Master mode.
The clock polarity is selected by appropriately programming the CKP bit of the SSPCON register. When the
CKE bit is set, the SDO data is valid before there is a
clock edge on SCK. The sample time of the input data
is shown based on the state of the SMP bit and can
occur at the middle or end of the data output time. The
time when the SSPBUF is loaded with the received
data is shown.
17.1.1.4
Sleep in Master Mode
In Master mode, all module clocks are halted and the
transmission/reception will remain in their current state,
paused, until the device wakes from Sleep. After the
device wakes up from Sleep, the module will continue
to transmit/receive data.
For these pins to function as serial port pins, they must
have their corresponding data direction bits set or
cleared in the associated TRIS register as follows:
• SDI configured as input
• SDO configured as output
• SCK configured as output

17.1.2
SLAVE MODE
17.1.2.2
For any SPI device acting as a slave, the data is
transmitted and received as external clock pulses
appear on SCK pin. This external clock must meet the
minimum high and low times as specified in the
electrical specifications.
17.1.2.1
Slave Mode Operation
The SSP consists of a transmit/receive shift register
(SSPSR) and a buffer register (SSPBUF). The SSPSR
shifts the data in and out of the device, MSb first. The
SSPBUF holds the data that was written to the SSPSR
until the received data is ready.
The slave has no control as to when data will be
clocked in or out of the device. All data that is to be
transmitted, to a master or another slave, must be
loaded into the SSPBUF register before the first clock
pulse is received.
Once eight bits of data have been received:
• Received byte is moved to the SSPBUF register
• BF bit of the SSPSTAT register is set
• SSPIF bit of the PIR1 register is set
Any write to the SSPBUF register during transmission/
reception of data will be ignored and the Write Collision
Detect bit, WCOL of the SSPCON register, will be set.
User software must clear the WCOL bit so that it can be
determined if the following write(s) to the SSPBUF
register completed successfully.
The user’s firmware must read SSPBUF, clearing the
BF flag, or the SSPOV bit of the SSPCON register will
be set with the reception of the next byte and
communication will be disabled.
A SPI module transmits and receives at the same time,
occasionally causing dummy data to be transmitted/
received. It is up to the user to determine which data is
to be used and what can be discarded.
 2011 Microchip Technology Inc.
Enabling Slave I/O
To enable the serial port, the SSPEN bit of the
SSPCON register must be set. If a Slave mode of
operation is selected in the SSPM bits of the SSPCON
register, the SDI, SDO and SCK pins will be assigned
as serial port pins.
For these pins to function as serial port pins, they must
have their corresponding data direction bits set or
cleared in the associated TRIS register as follows:
• SDI configured as input
• SDO configured as output
• SCK configured as input
Optionally, a fourth pin, Slave Select (SS) may be used
in Slave mode. Slave Select may be configured to
operate on the RC6/SS pin via the SSSEL bit in the
APFCON register.
Upon selection of a Slave Select pin, the appropriate
bits must be set in the ANSELA and TRISA registers.
Slave Select must be set as an input by setting the
corresponding bit in TRISA, and digital I/O must be
enabled on the SS pin by clearing the corresponding bit
of the ANSELA register.
17.1.2.3
Slave Mode Setup
When initializing the SSP module to SPI Slave mode,
compatibility must be ensured with the master device.
This is done by programming the appropriate control
bits of the SSPCON and SSPSTAT registers. These
control bits allow the following to be specified:
•
•
•
•
SCK as clock input
Idle state of SCK (CKP bit)
Data input sample phase (SMP bit)
Output data on rising/falling edge of SCK (CKE bit)
Figure 17-4 and Figure 17-5 show example waveforms

Slave Select Operation
The SS pin allows Synchronous Slave mode operation.
The SPI must be in Slave mode with SS pin control
enabled (SSPM<3:0> = 0100). The associated TRIS bit
for the SS pin must be set, making SS an input.
Note:
In Slave Select mode, when:
• SS = 0, The device operates as specified in
Section 17.1.2 “Slave Mode”.
• SS = 1, The SPI module is held in Reset and the
SDO pin will be tri-stated.
17.1.2.5
Note 1: When the SPI is in Slave mode with SS
pin control enabled (SSPM<3:0> = 0100),
the SPI module will reset if the SS pin is
driven high.
2: If the SPI is used in Slave mode with CKE
set, the SS pin control must be enabled.
FIGURE 17-6:
When the SPI module resets, the bit counter is cleared
to ‘0’. This can be done by either forcing the SS pin to
a high level or clearing the SSPEN bit. Figure 17-6
shows the timing waveform for such a synchronization
event.
SSPSR must be reinitialized by writing to
the SSPBUF register before the data can
be clocked out of the slave again.
Sleep in Slave Mode
While in Sleep mode, the slave can transmit/receive
data. The SPI Transmit/Receive Shift register operates
asynchronously to the device on the externally supplied
clock source. This allows the device to be placed in
Sleep mode and data to be shifted into the SPI Transmit/Receive Shift register. When all 8 bits have been
received, the SSP Interrupt Flag bit will be set and, if
enabled, will wake the device from Sleep.

I2C Mode
17.2
FIGURE 17-8:
The SSP module, in I2C mode, implements all slave
functions except general call support. It provides
interrupts on Start and Stop bits in hardware to facilitate
firmware implementations of the master functions. The
SSP module implements the I2C Standard mode
specifications:
VDD
Data is sampled on the rising edge and shifted out on
the falling edge of the clock. This ensures that the SDA
signal is valid during the SCL high time. The SCL clock
input must have minimum high and low times for proper
operation. Refer to Section 23.0 “Electrical
Specifications”.

The SSP module has six registers for I2C operation.
They are:
•
•
•
•
SSP Control (SSPCON) register
SSP Status (SSPSTAT) register
Serial Receive/Transmit Buffer (SSPBUF) register
SSP Shift Register (SSPSR), not directly
accessible
• SSP Address (SSPADD) register
• SSP Address Mask (SSPMSK) register
17.2.1
HARDWARE SETUP
Selection of I2C mode, with the SSPEN bit of the
SSPCON register set, forces the SCL and SDA pins to
be open drain, provided these pins are programmed as
inputs by setting the appropriate TRISC bits. The SSP
module will override the input state with the output data,
when required, such as for Acknowledge and slavetransmitter sequences.
Note:

Two pins are used for data transfer; the SCL pin (clock
line) and the SDA pin (data line). The user must
configure the two pin’s data direction bits as inputs in
the appropriate TRIS register. Upon enabling I2C
mode, the I2C slew rate limiters in the I/O pads are
controlled by the SMP bit of SSPSTAT register. The
SSP module functions are enabled by setting the
SSPEN bit of SSPCON register.

START AND STOP CONDITIONS
During times of no data transfer (Idle time), both the
clock line (SCL) and the data line (SDA) are pulled high
through external pull-up resistors. The Start and Stop
conditions determine the start and stop of data transmission. The Start condition is defined as a high-to-low
transition of the SDA line while SCL is high. The Stop
condition is defined as a low-to-high transition of the
SDA line while SCL is high.
FIGURE 17-9:
Figure 17-9 shows the Start and Stop conditions. A
master device generates these conditions for starting
and terminating data transfer. Due to the definition of
the Start and Stop conditions, when data is being transmitted, the SDA line can only change state when the
SCL line is low.

ACKNOWLEDGE
After the valid reception of an address or data byte, the
hardware automatically will generate the Acknowledge
(ACK) pulse and load the SSPBUF register with the
received value currently in the SSPSR register. There
are certain conditions that will cause the SSP module
not to generate this ACK pulse. They include any or all
of the following:
In such a case, the SSPSR register value is not loaded
into the SSPBUF, but bit SSPIF of the PIR1 register is
set. Table 17-2 shows the results of when a data
transfer byte is received, given the status of bits BF and
SSPOV. Flag bit BF is cleared by reading the SSPBUF
register, while bit SSPOV is cleared through software.
• The Buffer Full bit, BF of the SSPSTAT register,
was set before the transfer was received.
• The SSP Overflow bit, SSPOV of the SSPCON
register, was set before the transfer was received.
• The SSP module is being operated in Firmware
Master mode.

ADDRESSING
17.2.4.2
Once the SSP module has been enabled, it waits for a
Start condition to occur. Following the Start condition,
the 8 bits are shifted into the SSPSR register. All incoming bits are sampled with the rising edge of the clock
line (SCL).
17.2.4.1
7-bit Addressing
In 7-bit Addressing mode (Figure 17-10), the value of
register SSPSR<7:1> is compared to the value of register SSPADD<7:1>. The address is compared on the
falling edge of the eighth clock (SCL) pulse. If the
addresses match, and the BF and SSPOV bits are
clear, the following events occur:
• The SSPSR register value is loaded into the
SSPBUF register.
• The BF bit is set.
• An ACK pulse is generated.
• SSP Interrupt Flag bit, SSPIF of the PIR1 register,
is set (interrupt is generated if enabled) on the
falling edge of the ninth SCL pulse.
10-bit Addressing
In 10-bit Address mode, two address bytes need to be
received by the slave (Figure 17-11). The five Most
Significant bits (MSbs) of the first address byte specify
if it is a 10-bit address. The R/W bit of the SSPSTAT
register must specify a write so the slave device will
receive the second address byte. For a 10-bit address,
the first byte would equal ‘1111 0 A9 A8 0’, where
A9 and A8 are the two MSbs of the address.
The sequence of events for 10-bit address is as follows
for reception:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
Load SSPADD register with high byte of address.
Receive first (high) byte of address (bits SSPIF,
BF and UA of the SSPSTAT register are set).
Read the SSPBUF register (clears bit BF).
Clear the SSPIF flag bit.
Update the SSPADD register with second (low)
byte of address (clears UA bit and releases the
SCL line).
Receive low byte of address (bits SSPIF, BF and
UA are set).
Update the SSPADD register with the high byte
of address. If match releases SCL line, this will
clear bit UA.
Read the SSPBUF register (clears bit BF).
Clear flag bit SSPIF.
If data is requested by the master, once the slave has
been addressed:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Receive repeated Start condition.
Receive repeat of high byte address with R/W = 1,
indicating a read.
BF bit is set and the CKP bit is cleared, stopping
SCL and indicating a read request.
SSPBUF is written, setting BF, with the data to
send to the master device.
CKP is set in software, releasing the SCL line.
17.2.4.3
Address Masking
The Address Masking register (SSPMSK) is only
accessible while the SSPM bits of the SSPCON
register are set to ‘1001’. In this register, the user can
select which bits of a received address the hardware
will compare when determining an address match. Any
bit that is set to a zero in the SSPMSK register, the
corresponding bit in the received address byte and
SSPADD register are ignored when determining an
address match. By default, the register is set to all
ones, requiring a complete match of a 7-bit address or
the lower eight bits of a 10-bit address.

17.2.5
RECEPTION
When the R/W bit of the received address byte is clear,
the master will write data to the slave. If an address
match occurs, the received address is loaded into the
SSPBUF register. An address byte overflow will occur
if that loaded address is not read from the SSPBUF
before the next complete byte is received.
An SSP interrupt is generated for each data transfer byte.
The BF, R/W and D/A bits of the SSPSTAT register are
used to determine the status of the last received byte.

TRANSMISSION
When the R/W bit of the received address byte is set
and an address match occurs, the R/W bit of the
SSPSTAT register is set and the slave will respond to
the master by reading out data. After the address match,
an ACK pulse is generated by the slave hardware and
the SCL pin is held low (clock is automatically stretched)
until the slave is ready to respond. See Section 17.2.7
“Clock Stretching”. The data the slave will transmit
must be loaded into the SSPBUF register, which sets
the BF bit. The SCL line is released by setting the CKP
bit of the SSPCON register.
Following the 8th falling clock edge, control of the SDA
line is released back to the master so that the master
can acknowledge or not acknowledge the response. If
the master sends a not acknowledge, the slave’s
transmission is complete and the slave must monitor for
the next Start condition. If the master acknowledges,
control of the bus is returned to the slave to transmit
another byte of data. Just as with the previous byte, the
clock is stretched by the slave, data must be loaded into
the SSPBUF and CKP must be set to release the clock
line (SCL).
An SSP interrupt is generated for each transferred data
byte. The SSPIF flag bit of the PIR1 register initiates an
SSP interrupt, and must be cleared by software before
the next byte is transmitted. The BF bit of the SSPSTAT
register is cleared on the falling edge of the 8th
received clock pulse. The SSPIF flag bit is set on the
falling edge of the ninth clock pulse.

17.2.7
CLOCK STRETCHING
2
During any SCL low phase, any device on the I C bus
may hold the SCL line low and delay, or pause, the
transmission of data. This “stretching” of a transmission
allows devices to slow down communication on the
bus. The SCL line must be constantly sampled by the
master to ensure that all devices on the bus have
released SCL for more data.
Stretching usually occurs after an ACK bit of a
transmission, delaying the first bit of the next byte. The
SSP module hardware automatically stretches for two
conditions:
• After a 10-bit address byte is received (update
SSPADD register)
• Anytime the CKP bit of the SSPCON register is
cleared by hardware
The module will hold SCL low until the CKP bit is set.
This allows the user slave software to update SSPBUF
with data that may not be readily available. In 10-bit
addressing modes, the SSPADD register must be
updated after receiving the first and second address
bytes. The SSP module will hold the SCL line low until
the SSPADD has a byte written to it. The UA bit of the
SSPSTAT register will be set, along with SSPIF,
indicating an address update is needed.
17.2.8
FIRMWARE MASTER MODE
Master mode of operation is supported in firmware
using interrupt generation on the detection of the Start
and Stop conditions. The Stop (P) and Start (S) bits of
the SSPSTAT register are cleared from a Reset or
when the SSP module is disabled (SSPEN cleared).
The Stop (P) and Start (S) bits will toggle based on the
Start and Stop conditions. Control of the I2C bus may
be taken when the P bit is set or the bus is Idle and both
the S and P bits are clear.
Refer to Application Note AN554, “Software
Implementation of I2C™ Bus Master” (DS00554) for more
information.
17.2.9
MULTI-MASTER MODE
In Multi-Master mode, the interrupt generation on the
detection of the Start and Stop conditions allow the
determination of when the bus is free. The Stop (P) and
Start (S) bits are cleared from a Reset or when the SSP
module is disabled. The Stop (P) and Start (S) bits will
toggle based on the Start and Stop conditions. Control
of the I2C bus may be taken when the P bit of the
SSPSTAT register is set or when the bus is Idle, and
both the S and P bits are clear. When the bus is busy,
enabling the SSP Interrupt will generate the interrupt
when the Stop condition occurs.
In Multi-Master operation, the SDA line must be monitored to see if the signal level is the expected output
level. This check only needs to be done when a high
level is output. If a high level is expected and a low level
is present, the device needs to release the SDA and
SCL lines (set TRIS bits). There are two stages where
this arbitration of the bus can be lost. They are the
Address Transfer and Data Transfer stages.
When the slave logic is enabled, the slave continues to
receive. If arbitration was lost during the address
transfer stage, communication to the device may be in
progress. If addressed, an ACK pulse will be
generated. If arbitration was lost during the data
transfer stage, the device will need to re-transfer the
data at a later time.
Refer to Application Note AN578, “Use of the SSP
Module in the I2C™ Multi-Master Environment”
(DS00578) for more information.
In Firmware Master mode, the SCL and SDA lines are
manipulated by setting/clearing the corresponding TRIS
bit(s). The output level is always low, irrespective of the
value(s) in the corresponding PORT register bit(s).
When transmitting a ‘1’, the TRIS bit must be set (input)
and a ‘0’, the TRIS bit must be clear (output).
The following events will cause the SSP Interrupt Flag
bit, SSPIF, to be set (SSP Interrupt will occur if
enabled):
• Start condition
• Stop condition
• Data transfer byte transmitted/received
Firmware Master mode of operation can be done with
either the Slave mode Idle (SSPM<3:0> = 1011), or
with either of the Slave modes in which interrupts are
enabled. When both master and slave functionality is
enabled, the software needs to differentiate the
source(s) of the interrupt.

CLOCK SYNCHRONIZATION
17.2.11
When the CKP bit is cleared, the SCL output is held low
once it is sampled low. Therefore, the CKP bit will not
stretch the SCL line until an external I2C master device
has already asserted the SCL line low. The SCL output
will remain low until the CKP bit is set and all other
devices on the I2C bus have released SCL. This
ensures that a write to the CKP bit will not violate the
minimum high time requirement for SCL (Figure 17-14).

FLASH PROGRAM MEMORY
SELF READ/SELF WRITE
CONTROL
18.1
The Flash Program Memory is readable and writable
during normal operation of the device. This memory is
not directly mapped in the register file space. Instead,
it is indirectly addressed through the Special Function
Registers. There are six SFRs used to read/write this
memory:
•
•
•
•
•
•
PMCON1
PMCON2
PMDATL
PMDATH
PMADRL
PMADRH
Program Memory Read Operation
To read a program memory location, the user must
write two bytes of the address to the PMADRH and
PMADRL registers, then set control bit RD
(PMCON1<0>). Once the read control bit is set, the
Program Memory Read (PMR) controller uses the two
instruction cycles to read the data. This causes the two
instructions immediately following the ‘BSF PMCON1,
RD’ instruction to be ignored.
The data is available in the third cycle, following the set
of the RD bit, in the PMDATH and PMDATL registers.
PMDATL and PMDATH registers will hold this value
until another read is executed. See Example 18-1 and
Figure 18-1 for more information.
Note:
When interfacing the program memory block, the
PMDATL and PMDATH registers form a two byte word
which holds the 14-bit program data for reading, and
the PMADRL and PMADRH registers form a two byte
word which holds the 13-bit address of the program
Flash location being accessed. These devices have 2K
to 4K words of program memory with an address range
from 0000h to 0FFFh.
Interrupts must be disabled during the
time from setting PMCON1<0> (RD) to
the third instruction thereafter.
Devices without a full map of memory will shadow
accesses to unused blocks back to the implemented
memory.

Code Protection
18.4
When the device is code-protected, the CPU may
continue to read and write the Flash program memory.
Depending on the settings of the Flash program
memory enable (WRT<1:0>) bits, the device may or
may not be able to write certain blocks of the program
memory. However, reads of the program memory are
allowed.
When the Flash program memory Code Protection
(CP) bit in the Configuration Word register is enabled,
the program memory is code-protected, and the device
programmer (ICSP™) cannot access data or program
memory.
Note:
18.3
Code-protect does not affect the CPU
from performing a read operation on the
program memory. For more information,
refer to Section 8.2 “Code Protection”.
PMCON1 and PMCON2 Registers
PMCON1 is the control register for the data program
memory accesses.
Control bits RD and WR initiate read and write,
respectively. These bits cannot be cleared, but only set
in software. They are cleared in hardware at the
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. Setting the
control bit WR initiates a write operation. For program
memory writes, WR initiates a write cycle if FREE = 0
and an erase cycle if FREE = 1.
The WREN bit, when set, will allow a write operation.
On power-up, the WREN bit is clear. PMCON2 is not a
physical register. Reading PMCON2 will read all ‘0’s.
The PMCON2 register is used exclusively in the Flash
memory write sequence.
PMADRH and PMADRL Registers
The PMADRH:PMADRL register pair can address up
to a maximum of 4K words of program Flash. The Most
Significant Byte (MSB) of the address is written to the
PMADRH register and the Least Significant Byte (LSB)
is written to the PMADRL register.

18.5
Writing to Flash Program Memory
A word of the Flash program memory may only be
written to if the word is in an unprotected segment of
memory.
Flash program memory may only be written to if the
destination address is in a segment of memory that is
not write-protected, as defined in bits WRT<1:0> of the
Configuration Word Register 2. Flash program memory
must be written in 32-word rows. See Figure 18-2 for
more details. A row consists of 32 words with sequential addresses, with a lower boundary defined by an
address, where PMADR<4:0>= 00000. All row writes to
program memory are done as 32-word erase and one
to 32-word write operations. The write operation is
edge-aligned. Crossing boundaries is not recommended, as the operation will only affect the new
boundary, wrapping the data values at the same time.
Once the write control bit is set, the Program Memory
(PM) controller will immediately write the data. Program
execution is stalled while the write is in progress.
To erase a program memory row, the address of the
row to erase must be loaded into the
PMADRH:PMADRL register pair. A row consists of 32
words so, when selecting a row, PMADR<4:0> are
ignored. After the Address has been set up, then the
following sequence of events must be executed:
1.
2.
3.
Set the WREN and FREE control bits of the
PMCON1 register.
Write 55h, then AAh, to PMCON2 (Flash
programming sequence).
Set the WR control bit of the PMCON1 register.
To write program data, it must first be loaded into the
buffer latches (see Figure 18-2). This is accomplished
by first writing the destination address to PMADRL and
PMADRH and then writing the data to PMDATA and
PMDATH. After the address and data have been set
up, then the following sequence of events must be executed:
1.
2.
3.
Set the WREN control bit of the PMCON1
register.
Write 55h, then AAh, to PMCON2 (Flash
programming sequence).
Set the WR control bit of the PMCON1 register.
All 32 buffer register locations should be written to with
correct data. If less than 32 words are being written to
in the block of 32 words, then a read from the program
memory location(s) not being written to must be
performed. This takes the data from the program
location(s) not being written and loads it into the
PMDATL and PMDATH registers. Then, the sequence
of events to transfer data to the buffer registers must be
executed.
 2011 Microchip Technology Inc.
When the LWLO bit is ‘1’, the write sequence will only
load the buffer register and will not actually initiate the
write to program Flash:
1.
Set the WREN and LWLO bits of the PMCON1
register.
Write 55h, then AAh, to PMCON2 (Flash
programming unlock sequence).
Set control bit WR of the PMCON1 register to
begin the write operation.
2.
3.
Note:
Self-write execution to Flash memory cannot be done while running in low power
PFM and Voltage Regulator modes.
Therefore, executing a self-write will put
the PFM and voltage regulator into High
Power mode for the duration of the
sequence.
To transfer data from the buffer registers to the program
memory, the last word to be written should be written to
the PMDATH:PMDATL register pair. Then, the
following sequence of events must be executed:
1.
2.
Clear the LWLO bit of the PMCON1 Register.
Write 55h, then AAh, to PMCON2 (Flash
programming sequence).
Set control bit WR of the PMCON1 register to
begin the write operation.
Two NOP must follow the setting of the WR bit.
3.
4.
This is necessary to provide time for the address and to
be provided to the program Flash memory to be put in
the write latches.
Note:
An ICD break that occurs during the 55h AAh - Set WR bit sequence will interrupt
the timing of the sequence and prevent
the unlock sequence from occurring. In
this case, no write will be initiated, as
there was no operation to complete.
No automatic erase occurs upon the initiation of the
write; if the program Flash needs to be erased before
writing, the row (32 words) must be previously erased.
After the “BSF PMCON1, WR” instruction, the processor
requires two cycles to set up the erase/write operation.
The user must place two NOP instructions after the WR
bit is set. These two instructions will also be forced in
hardware to NOP, but if an ICD break occurs at this
point, the forcing to NOP will be lost.
Preliminary
DS41430B-page 163
PIC16(L)F720/721
Since data is being written to buffer registers, the
writing of the first 31 words of the block appears to
occur immediately. The processor will halt internal
operations for the typical 4ms, only during the cycle in
which the erase takes place (i.e., the last word of the
32-word block erase). This is not Sleep mode as the
clocks and peripherals will continue to run. After the 32word write cycle, the processor will resume operation
with the third instruction after the PMCON1 write
instruction.

Protection Against Spurious Write
There are conditions when the device should not write
to the program memory. To protect against spurious
writes, various mechanisms have been built in. On
power-up, WREN is cleared. Also, the Power-up Timer
(64 ms duration) prevents program memory writes.
The write initiates sequence and the WREN bit helps
prevent an accidental write during brown-out, power
glitch or software malfunction.
18.7
Operation During Code-Protect
When the device is code-protected, the CPU is able to
read and write unscrambled data to the program
memory.
18.8
Operation During Write-Protect
When the program memory is write-protected, the CPU
can read and execute from the program memory.
The portions of program memory that are
write-protected can be modified by the CPU using the
PMCON registers, but the protected program memory
cannot be modified using ICSP mode.

POWER-DOWN MODE (SLEEP)
19.1
Wake-up from Sleep
The Power-down mode is entered by executing a
SLEEP instruction.
The device can wake-up from Sleep through one of the
following events:
If the Watchdog Timer is enabled:
1.
2.
•
•
•
•
•
WDT will be cleared but keeps running.
PD bit of the STATUS register is cleared.
TO bit of the STATUS register is set.
Oscillator driver is turned off.
I/O ports maintain the status they had before
SLEEP was executed (driving high, low or highimpedance).
3.
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. 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 PORTB should be considered.
The MCLR pin must be at a logic high level when
external MCLR is enabled.
Note:
External Reset input on MCLR pin.
Watchdog Timer wake-up (if WDT was
enabled).
Interrupt from RA2/INT pin, PORTB change or a
peripheral interrupt.
A Reset generated by a WDT time-out
does not drive MCLR pin low.
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 a 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.
The following peripheral interrupts can wake the device
from Sleep:
1.
TMR1 interrupt. Timer1 must be operating as an
asynchronous counter.
USART Receive Interrupt (Synchronous Slave
mode only)
A/D conversion (when A/D clock source is RC)
Interrupt-on-change
External interrupt from INT pin
Capture event on CCP1
SSP interrupt in SPI or I2C Slave mode
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
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.
Note:
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.
The WDT is cleared when the device wakes up from
Sleep, regardless of the source of wake-up.

PIC16(L)F720/721
19.2
Wake-up Using Interrupts
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.
When global interrupts are disabled (GIE cleared) and
any interrupt source has both its interrupt enable bit
and interrupt flag bit set, one of the following will occur:
• If the interrupt occurs before the execution of a
SLEEP instruction, 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.
FIGURE 19-1:
To ensure that the WDT is cleared, a CLRWDT instruction
should be executed before a SLEEP instruction.

IN-CIRCUIT SERIAL
PROGRAMMING™ (ICSP™)
The device is placed into Program/Verify mode by
holding the ICSPCLK and ICSPDAT pins low then
raising the voltage on MCLR/VPP from 0V to VPP. In
Program/Verify mode the program memory, user IDs and
the Configuration Words are programmed through serial
communications. The ICSPDAT pin is a bidirectional I/O
used for transferring the serial data and the ISCPCLK pin
is the clock input. For more information on ICSP™ refer
to
the
“PIC16F72x/PIC16LF72x
Programming
Specification” (DS41332).
ICSP™ programming allows customers to manufacture
circuit boards with unprogrammed devices. Programming
can be done after the assembly process, allowing the
device to be programmed with the most recent firmware
or a custom firmware. Five pins are needed for ICSP™
programming:
• ICSPCLK
• ICSPDAT
• MCLR/VPP
• VDD
• VSS
FIGURE 20-1:
Note:
The MPLAB® ICD 2 produces a VPP voltage greater than the maximum VPP specification of the PIC16(L)F720/721. When
using this programmer, an external circuit,
such as the AC164112 MPLAB ICD 2 VPP
voltage limiter, is required to keep the VPP
voltage within the device specifications.

INSTRUCTION SET SUMMARY
The PIC16F(L)F720/721 instruction set is highly
orthogonal and is comprised of three basic categories:
TABLE 21-1:
OPCODE FIELD
DESCRIPTIONS
Field
• Byte-oriented operations
• Bit-oriented operations
• Literal and control operations
Description
Register file address (0x00 to 0x7F)
f
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.
Table 21-2 lists the instructions recognized by the
MPASMTM assembler.
d
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.
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
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 21-1, while the various opcode
fields are summarized in Table 21-1.
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.
Carry bit
C
DC
Digit carry bit
Zero bit
Z
PD
Power-down bit
FIGURE 21-1:
For literal and control operations, ‘k’ represents an 8bit or 11-bit constant, or literal value.
One instruction cycle consists of four oscillator periods;
for an oscillator frequency of 4 MHz, this gives a
nominal instruction execution time of 1 s. 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.

Literal and control operations
21.1
General
Read-Modify-Write Operations
Any instruction that specifies a file register as part of
the instruction performs a Read-Modify-Write (R-M-W)
operation. The register is read, the data is modified,
and the result is stored according to either the instruction, or the destination designator ‘d’. A read operation
is performed on a register even if the instruction writes
to that register.
For example, a CLRF PORTB instruction will read
PORTB, clear all the data bits, then write the result
back to PORTB. This example would have the unintended consequence of clearing the condition that set
the RABIF flag.

When an I/O register is modified as a function of itself (e.g., MOVF PORTA, 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 the Program Counter (PC) is modified, or a conditional test is true, the instruction requires two cycles. The second
cycle is executed as a NOP.

board and microcontroller, hookup cables and CDROM
with user’s guide, lessons, tutorial, compiler and
MPLAB IDE software.
22.12 MPLAB PM3 Device Programmer
The MPLAB PM3 Device Programmer is a universal,
CE compliant device programmer with programmable
voltage verification at VDDMIN and VDDMAX for
maximum reliability. It features a large LCD display
(128 x 64) for menus and error messages and a modular, detachable socket assembly to support various
package types. The ICSP™ cable assembly is included
as a standard item. In Stand-Alone mode, the MPLAB
PM3 Device Programmer can read, verify and program
PIC devices without a PC connection. It can also set
code protection in this mode. The MPLAB PM3
connects to the host PC via an RS-232 or USB cable.
The MPLAB PM3 has high-speed communications and
optimized algorithms for quick programming of large
memory devices and incorporates an MMC card for file
storage and data applications.
DS41430B-page 186
The boards support a variety of features, including LEDs,
temperature sensors, switches, speakers, RS-232
interfaces, LCD displays, potentiometers and additional
EEPROM memory.
The demonstration and development boards can be
used in teaching environments, for prototyping custom
circuits and for learning about various microcontroller
applications.
In addition to the PICDEM™ and dsPICDEM™ demonstration/development board series of circuits, Microchip
has a line of evaluation kits and demonstration software
for analog filter design, KEELOQ® security ICs, CAN,
IrDA®, PowerSmart battery management, SEEVAL®
evaluation system, Sigma-Delta ADC, flow rate
sensing, plus many more.
Also available are starter kits that contain everything
needed to experience the specified device. This usually
includes a single application and debug capability, all
on one board.

The test conditions for all IDD measurements in active operation mode are: OSC1 = external square wave, from
rail-to-rail (except for INTOSC mode); all I/O pins tri-stated, pulled to VDD; MCLR = VDD; WDT disabled.
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.

Data in “Typ” column is at 3.0V, 25°C unless otherwise stated. These parameters are for design guidance only and are
not tested.
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.
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 high-impedance state and tied to VDD.
Fixed Voltage Reference is automatically enabled whenever the BOR is enabled.
A/D oscillator source is FRC.

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 CLKIN pin. When an
external clock input is used, the “max” cycle time limit is “DC” (no clock) for all devices.

These parameters are characterized but not tested.
Data in ‘Typ’ column is at 5.0V, 25°C unless otherwise stated. These parameters are for design guidance
only and are not tested.
Note 1: 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 the OSC1 pin. When an external clock input is used,
the ‘max’ cycle time limit is ‘DC’ (no clock) for all devices.
2: To ensure these oscillator frequency tolerances, VDD and VSS must be capacitively decoupled as close to
the device as possible. 0.1 F and 0.01 F values in parallel are recommended.
3: The frequency tolerance of the internal oscillator is ±2% from 0-60°C and ±3% from 60-85°C
(see Figure 23-6).

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

This package is Pb-free. The Pb-free JEDEC designator ( e3 )
can be found on the outer packaging for this package.
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
price.
