GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The PIC12F529T39A device from Microchip
Technology is a low-cost, high-performance, 8-bit, fullystatic, Flash-based CMOS microcontroller. It employs a
RISC architecture with only 34 single-word/single-cycle
instructions. All instructions are single cycle except for
program branches, which take two cycles. The
PIC12F529T39A device delivers performance an order
of magnitude higher than its competitors in the same
price category. The 12-bit wide instructions are highly
symmetrical, resulting in a typical 2:1 code
compression over other 8-bit microcontrollers in its
class. The easy-to-use and easy to remember
instruction set reduces development time significantly.
The PIC12F529T39A product is equipped with special
features that reduce system cost and power
requirements. The Power-on Reset (POR) and Device
Reset Timer (DRT) eliminate the need for external
Reset circuitry. There are four oscillator configurations
to choose from including INTRC Internal Oscillator
mode and the power-saving LP (Low-power) Oscillator
mode. Power-Saving Sleep mode, Watchdog Timer
and code protection features improve system cost,
power and reliability.
TABLE 1-1:
The PIC12F529T39A device is available in the costeffective Flash programmable version, which is
suitable for production in any volume. The customer
can take full advantage of Microchip’s price leadership
in Flash programmable microcontrollers, while
benefiting from the Flash programmable flexibility.
The PIC12F529T39A product is supported by a fullfeatured macro assembler, a software simulator, a lowcost development programmer and a full-featured
programmer. All the tools are supported on PC and
compatible machines.
1.1
Applications
The PIC12F529T39A device fits in applications ranging
from personal care appliances and security systems to
low-power remote transmitters/receivers. The Flash
technology makes customizing application programs
(transmitter codes, appliance settings, receiver
frequencies, etc.) extremely fast and convenient. The
small footprint packages, for through hole or surface
mounting, make these microcontrollers perfect for
applications with space limitations. Low cost, low
power, high performance, ease of use and I/O flexibility
make the PIC12F529T39A device very versatile even
in areas where no microcontroller use has been
considered before (e.g., timer functions, logic and
PLDs in larger systems and coprocessor applications).

Devices
Serialized Quick Turn
ProgrammingSM (SQTPSM) Devices
Microchip offers a unique programming service, where a
few user-defined locations in each device are
programmed with different serial numbers. The serial
numbers may be random, pseudo-random or sequential.
Serial programming allows each device to have a
unique number, which can serve as an entry code,
password or ID number.
Microchip offers a QTP programming service for factory
production orders. This service is made available for
users who choose not to program medium-to-high
quantity units and whose code patterns have stabilized.
The devices are identical to the Flash devices but with
all Flash locations and fuse options already
programmed by the factory. Certain code and prototype
verification procedures do apply before production
shipments are available. Please contact your local
Microchip Technology sales office for more details.

ARCHITECTURAL OVERVIEW
The high performance of the PIC12F529T39A device
can be attributed to a number of architectural features
commonly found in RISC microprocessors. To begin
with, the PIC12F529T39A device uses a Harvard
architecture in which program and data are accessed
on separate buses. This improves bandwidth over traditional von Neumann architectures where program
and data are fetched on the same bus. Separating
program and data memory further allows instructions
to be sized differently than the 8-bit wide data word.
Instruction opcodes are 12 bits wide, making it possible to have all single-word instructions. A 12-bit wide
program memory access bus fetches a 12-bit instruction in a single cycle. A two-stage pipeline overlaps
fetch and execution of instructions. Consequently, all
instructions (34) execute in a single cycle (500 ns @
8 MHz, 1 s @ 4 MHz) except for program branches.
The ALU is 8 bits wide and capable of addition,
subtraction, shift and logical operations. Unless
otherwise mentioned, arithmetic operations are two’s
complement in nature. In two-operand instructions, one
operand is typically the W (working) register. The other
operand is either a file register or an immediate
constant. In single operand instructions, the operand is
either the W register or a file register.
The W register is an 8-bit working register used for ALU
operations. It is not an addressable register.
Depending on the instruction executed, the ALU may
affect the values of the Carry (C), Digit Carry (DC) and
Zero (Z) bits in the STATUS register. The C and DC bits
operate as a borrow and digit borrow out bit, respectively, in subtraction. See the SUBWF and ADDWF
instructions for examples.
A simplified block diagram is shown in Figure 3-1, with
the corresponding device pins described in Table 3-2.
Table 3-1 below lists memory supported by the
PIC12F529T39A device.

The PIC12F529T39A device can directly or indirectly
address its register files and data memory. All Special
Function Registers (SFR), including the PC, are
mapped in the data memory. The PIC12F529T39A
device has a highly orthogonal (symmetrical) instruction set that makes it possible to carry out any operation, on any register, using any addressing mode. This
symmetrical nature and lack of “special optimal situations” make programming with the PIC12F529T39A
device simple, yet efficient. In addition, the learning
curve is reduced significantly.
The PIC12F529T39A device contains an 8-bit ALU and
working register. The ALU is a general purpose arithmetic unit. It performs arithmetic and Boolean functions
between data in the working register and any register
file.

Clocking Scheme/Instruction
Cycle
3.2
Instruction Flow/Pipelining
An instruction cycle consists of four Q cycles (Q1, Q2,
Q3 and Q4). The instruction fetch and execute are
pipelined such that fetch takes one instruction cycle,
while decode and execute take another instruction
cycle. However, due to the pipelining, each instruction
effectively executes in one cycle. If an instruction
causes the PC to change (e.g., GOTO), then two cycles
are required to complete the instruction (Example 3-1).
The clock input (OSC1/CLKIN pin) is internally divided
by four to generate four non-overlapping quadrature
clocks, namely Q1, Q2, Q3 and Q4. Internally, the PC
is incremented every Q1 and the instruction is fetched
from program memory and latched into the instruction
register in Q4. It is decoded and executed during the
following Q1 through Q4. The clocks and instruction
execution flow is shown in Figure 3-2 and Example 3-1.
A fetch cycle begins with the PC incrementing in Q1.
In the execution cycle, the fetched instruction is latched
into the Instruction Register (IR) in cycle Q1. This
instruction is then decoded and executed during the
Q2, Q3 and Q4 cycles. Data memory is read during Q2
(operand read) and written during Q4 (destination
write).

All instructions are single cycle, except for any program branches. These take two cycles, since the fetch instruction

MEMORY ORGANIZATION
FIGURE 4-1:
The PIC12F529T39A memory is organized into
program memory and data memory (SRAM). The selfwritable portion of the program memory called Flash
data memory, is located at addresses 600h-63Fh. As
the device has more than 512 bytes of program
memory, a paging scheme is used. Program memory
pages are accessed using STATUS register bit, PA0.
For the PIC12F529T39A, with data memory register
files of more than 32 registers, a banking scheme is
used. Data memory banks are accessed using the File
Select Register (FSR).

SRAM. Therefore, data memory for a device is specified by its register file. The register file is divided into
two functional groups: Special Function Registers
(SFR) and General Purpose Registers (GPR).
The Special Function Registers include the TMR0
register, the Program Counter Low (PCL), the STATUS
register, the I/O register (port) and the File Select
Register (FSR). In addition, the EECON, EEDATA and
EEADR registers provide for interface with the Flash
data memory.
The PIC12F529T39A register file is composed of 10
Special Function Registers and 201 General Purpose
Registers.
4.2.1
GENERAL PURPOSE REGISTER
FILE
The General Purpose Register file is accessed, either
directly or indirectly, through the File Select Register
(FSR). See Section 4.8 “Indirect Data Addressing:
INDF and FSR Registers”.

SPECIAL FUNCTION REGISTERS
4.2.3
The Special Function Registers (SFRs) are registers
used by the CPU and peripheral functions to control the
operation of the device (Table 4-1).
The Special Function Registers can be classified into
two sets. The Special Function Registers associated
with the “core” functions are described in this section.
Those related to the operation of the peripheral
features are described in the section for each
peripheral feature.
TABLE 4-1:
Addr
Name
LINEAR RAM
The last four banks, addresses 0x80 to 0xFF, are
general purpose RAM registers, unbroken by SFRs.
This region is ideal for indirect access using the FSR
and INDF registers.
Note:
Unlike other baseline devices, the FSR
register does not contain bank bits and,
therefore, does not affect direct
addressing schemes. The FSR/INDF
registers have full access to RAM.

STATUS Register
For example, CLRF STATUS, will clear the upper three
bits and set the Z bit. This leaves the STATUS register
as ‘000u u1uu’ (where u = unchanged).
This register contains the arithmetic status of the ALU,
the Reset status and the page preselect bit.
Therefore, it is recommended that only BCF, BSF and
MOVWF instructions be used to alter the STATUS register. These instructions do not affect the Z, DC or C bits
from the STATUS register. For other instructions which
do affect Status bits, see Section 10.0 “Instruction
Set Summary”.
The STATUS register can be the destination for any
instruction, as with 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.

Program Counter
4.6.1
EFFECTS OF RESET
As a program instruction is executed, the Program
Counter (PC) will contain the address of the next
program instruction to be executed. The PC value is
increased by one every instruction cycle, unless an
instruction changes the PC.
The PC is set upon a Reset, which means that the PC
addresses the last location in the last page (i.e., the
oscillator calibration instruction). After executing
MOVLW XX, the PC will roll over to location 00h and
begin executing user code.
For a GOTO instruction, bits <8:0> of the PC are
provided by the GOTO instruction word. The Program
Counter (PCL) is mapped to PC<7:0>. Bits 5 and 6 of
the STATUS register provide page information to bits 9
and 10 of the PC. (Figure 4-3).
The STATUS register page preselect bits are cleared
upon a Reset, which means that page 0 is pre-selected.
For a CALL instruction, or any instruction where the
PCL is the destination, bits <7:0> of the PC again are
provided by the instruction word. However, PC<8>
does not come from the instruction word, but is always
cleared (Figure 4-3).
Instructions where the PCL is the destination, or modify
PCL instructions, include MOVWF PCL, ADDWF PCL
and BSF PCL,5.
Note:
Because PC<8> is cleared in the CALL
instruction or any modify PCL instruction,
all subroutine calls or computed jumps are
limited to the first 256 locations of any
program memory page (512 words long).
FIGURE 4-3:
LOADING OF PC
BRANCH INSTRUCTIONS
GOTO Instruction
10 9 8 7
PC

PCL
Therefore, upon a Reset, a GOTO instruction will
automatically cause the program to jump to page 0 until
the value of the page bits is altered.
4.7
The PIC12F529T39A device has a four-deep, 12-bit
wide hardware PUSH/POP stack.
A CALL instruction will PUSH the current value of Stack
1 into Stack 2 and then PUSH the current PC value,
incremented by one, into Stack Level 1. If more than four
sequential CALLs are executed, only the most recent
four return addresses are stored.
A RETLW instruction will POP the contents of Stack
Level 1 into the PC and then copy Stack Level 2
contents into Stack Level 1. If more than four sequential
RETLWs are executed, the stack will be filled with the
address previously stored in Stack Level 2. Note that
the W register will be loaded with the literal value
specified in the instruction. This is particularly useful for
the implementation of data look-up tables within the
program memory.
Note 1: There are no Status bits to indicate Stack
Overflow or Stack Underflow conditions.
2: There are no instruction mnemonics
called PUSH or POP. These are actions
that occur from the execution of the CALL
and RETLW instructions.

FLASH DATA MEMORY
CONTROL
3.
4.
The Flash data memory is readable and writable during
normal operation (full VDD range). This memory is not
directly mapped in the register file space. Instead, it is
indirectly addressed through the Special Function
Registers (SFRs).
5.1
Reading Flash Data Memory
To read a Flash data memory location the user must:
• Write the EEADR register
• Set the RD bit of the EECON register
The value written to the EEADR register determines
which Flash data memory location is read. Setting the
RD bit of the EECON register initiates the read. Data
from the Flash data memory read is available in the
EEDATA register immediately. The EEDATA register
will hold this value until another read is initiated or it is
modified by a write operation. Program execution is
suspended while the read cycle is in progress. Execution will continue with the instruction following the one
that sets the WR bit. See Example 5-1 for sample code.

Writing and Erasing Flash Data
Memory
Generally, the procedure to write a byte of data to Flash
data memory is:
Identify the row containing the address where
the byte will be written.
If there is other information in that row that must
be saved, copy those bytes from Flash data
memory to RAM.
 2012 Microchip Technology Inc.
ERASING FLASH DATA MEMORY
A row must be manually erased before writing new
data. The following sequence must be performed for a
single row erase.
1.
Load EEADR with an address in the row to be
erased.
Set the FREE bit to enable the erase.
Set the WREN bit to enable write access to the
array.
Set the WR bit to initiate the erase cycle.
2.
3.
4.
If the WREN bit is not set in the instruction cycle after
the FREE bit is set, the FREE bit will be cleared in
hardware.
If the WR bit is not set in the instruction cycle after the
WREN bit is set, the WREN bit will be cleared in
hardware.
EXAMPLE 5-2:
Flash data memory is erased one row at a time and
written one byte at a time. The 64-byte array is made
up of eight rows. A row contains eight sequential bytes.
Row boundaries exist every eight bytes.
2.
5.2.1
Program execution is suspended while the erase cycle
is in progress. Execution will continue with the instruction following the one that sets the WR bit.
Note: Only a BSF command will work to enable
the Flash data memory read documented in
Example 5-1. No other sequence of
commands will work, no exceptions.
1.
To prevent accidental corruption of the Flash data
memory, an unlock sequence is required to initiate a
write or erase cycle. This sequence requires that the bit
set instructions used to configure the EECON register
happen exactly as shown in Example 5-2 and
Example 5-3, depending on the operation requested.
Sample code that follows this procedure is included in
Example 5-2.

I/O PORT
6.2
As with any other register, the I/O register(s) can be
written and read under program control. However, read
instructions (e.g., MOVF PORTB,W) always read the I/O
pins independent of the pin’s Input/Output modes. On
Reset, all I/O ports are defined as input (inputs are at
high-impedance) since the I/O control registers are all
set.
6.1
GPIO
GPIO is an 8-bit I/O register. Only the low-order 6 bits
are used (GP<5:0>). Bits 7 and 6 are unimplemented
and read as ‘0’s. Please note that GP3 is an input-only
pin. The Configuration Word can set several I/O’s to
alternate functions. When acting as alternate functions,
the pins will read as ‘0’ during a port read. Pins GP0,
GP1, and GP3 can be configured with weak pull-ups
and also for wake-up on change. The wake-up on
change and weak pull-up functions are not pin selectable. If GP3/MCLR is configured as MCLR, weak pullup is always on and wake-up on change for this pin is
not enabled.
TRIS Registers
The Output Driver Control registers are loaded with
the contents of the W register by executing the TRIS f
instruction. A ‘1’ from a TRISGPIO register bit puts the
corresponding output driver in a high-impedance
(Input) mode. A ‘0’ puts the contents of the output data
latch on the selected pins, enabling the output buffer.
The TRISGPIO register is “write-only”. Bits <5:0> are
set (output drivers disabled) upon Reset.
Note:
If the T0CS bit is set to ‘1’, it will override
the TRISGPIO function on the T0CKI pin.

I/O Interfacing
The equivalent circuit for an I/O port pin is shown in
Figure 6-1. All port pins, except GP3 which is input
only, may be used for both input and output operations.
For input operations, these ports are non-latching. Any
input must be present until read by an input instruction
(e.g., MOVF GPIO, W). The outputs are latched and
remain unchanged until the output latch is rewritten. To
use a port pin as output, the corresponding direction
control bit in TRISGPIO must be cleared (= 0). For use
as an input, the corresponding TRISGPIO bit must be
set. Any I/O pin (except GP3) can be programmed
individually as input or output.

I/O Programming Considerations
6.4.1
EXAMPLE 6-1:
BIDIRECTIONAL I/O PORTS
Some instructions operate internally as read followed
by write operations. The BCF and BSF instructions, for
example, read the entire port into the CPU, execute the
bit operation and re-write the result. Caution must be
used when these instructions are applied to a port
where one or more pins are used as input/outputs. For
example, a BSF operation on bit 5 of GPIO will cause
all eight bits of GPIO to be read into the CPU, bit 5 to
be set and the GPIO value to be written to the output
latches. If another bit of GPIO is used as a bidirectional
I/O pin (say bit 0) and it is defined as an input at this
time, the input signal present on the pin itself would be
read into the CPU and rewritten to the data latch of this
particular pin, overwriting the previous content. As long
as the pin stays in the Input mode, no problem occurs.
However, if bit 0 is switched into Output mode later on,
the content of the data latch may now be unknown.

Note 1: The user may have expected the pin values to
be ‘--00 pppp’. The 2nd BCF caused GP5 to
be latched as the pin value (High).
6.4.2
A pin actively outputting a high or a low should not be
driven from external devices at the same time in order
to change the level on this pin (“wired OR”, “wired
AND”). The resulting high output currents may damage
the chip.

SUCCESSIVE OPERATIONS ON
I/O PORTS
The actual write to an I/O port happens at the end of an
instruction cycle, whereas for reading, the data must be
valid at the beginning of the instruction cycle (Figure 6-6).
Therefore, care must be exercised if a write, followed by
a read operation, is carried out on the same I/O port. The
sequence of instructions should allow the pin voltage to
stabilize (load dependent) before the next instruction
causes that file to be read into the CPU. Otherwise, the
previous state of that pin may be read into the CPU rather
than the new state. When in doubt, it is better to separate
these instructions with a NOP or another instruction not
accessing this I/O port.
Example 6-1 shows the effect of two sequential
Read-Modify-Write instructions (e.g., BCF, BSF, etc.)
on an I/O port.

TIMER0 MODULE AND TMR0
REGISTER
Counter mode is selected by setting the T0CS bit
(OPTION<5>). In this mode, Timer0 will increment
either on every rising or falling edge of pin T0CKI. The
T0SE bit (OPTION<4>) determines the source edge.
Clearing the T0SE bit selects the rising edge. Restrictions on the external clock input are discussed in detail
in Section 7.1 “Using Timer0 with an External
Clock”.
The Timer0 module has the following features:
•

•
8-bit timer/counter register, TMR0
Readable and writable
8-bit software programmable prescaler
Internal or external clock select:
- Edge select for external clock
Figure 7-1 is a simplified block diagram of the Timer0
module.
Timer mode is selected by clearing the T0CS bit
(OPTION<5>). In Timer mode, the Timer0 module will
increment every instruction cycle (without prescaler). If
the TMR0 register is written, the increment is inhibited
for the following two cycles (Figure 7-2 and Figure 7-3).
The user can work around this by writing an adjusted
value to the TMR0 register.
The prescaler may be used by either the Timer0
module or the Watchdog Timer, but not both. The
prescaler assignment is controlled in software by the
control bit, PSA (OPTION<3>). Clearing the PSA bit
will assign the prescaler to Timer0. The prescaler is not
readable or writable. When the prescaler is assigned to
the Timer0 module, prescale values of 1:2, 1:4,...,
1:256 are selectable. Section 7.2 “Prescaler” details
the operation of the prescaler.
A summary of registers associated with the Timer0
module is found in Table 7-1.
The Timer0 contained in the CPU core follows the
standard baseline definition.

7.1
Using Timer0 with an External
Clock
When an external clock input is used for Timer0, it must
meet certain requirements. The external clock requirement is due to internal phase clock (TOSC) synchronization. Also, there is a delay in the actual incrementing of
Timer0 after synchronization.
7.1.1
EXTERNAL CLOCK
SYNCHRONIZATION
When no prescaler is used, the external clock input is
the same as the prescaler output. The synchronization
of T0CKI with the internal phase clocks is accomplished by sampling the prescaler output on the Q2 and
Q4 cycles of the internal phase clocks (Figure 7-4).
Therefore, it is necessary for T0CKI to be high for at
least two TOSC (and a small RC delay of two Tt0H) and
low for at least two TOSC (and a small RC delay of two
Tt0H). Refer to the electrical specification of the
desired device.
FIGURE 7-4:
When a prescaler is used, the external clock input is
divided by the asynchronous ripple counter-type
prescaler, so that the prescaler output is symmetrical.
For the external clock to meet the sampling requirement, the ripple counter must be taken into account.
Therefore, it is necessary for T0CKI to have a period of
at least four TOSC (and a small RC delay of four Tt0H)
divided by the prescaler value. The only requirement
on T0CKI high and low time is that they do not violate
the minimum pulse width requirement of Tt0H. Refer to
parameters 40, 41 and 42 in the electrical specification
of the desired device.
7.1.2
TIMER0 INCREMENT DELAY
Since the prescaler output is synchronized with the
internal clocks, there is a small delay from the time the
external clock edge occurs to the time the Timer0
module is actually incremented. Figure 7-4 shows the
delay from the external clock edge to the timer
incrementing.

7.2
Prescaler
EXAMPLE 7-1:
An 8-bit counter is available as a prescaler for the
Timer0 module or as a postscaler for the Watchdog
Timer (WDT), respectively (see Section 8.6 “Watchdog Timer (WDT)”). For simplicity, this counter is
being referred to as “prescaler” throughout this data
sheet.
Note:
The prescaler may be used by either the
Timer0 module or the WDT, but not both.
Thus, a prescaler assignment for the
Timer0 module means that there is no
prescaler for the WDT and vice versa.
The PSA and PS<2:0> bits (OPTION<3:0>) determine
prescaler assignment and prescale ratio.
When assigned to the Timer0 module, all instructions
writing to the TMR0 register (e.g., CLRF TMR0,
MOVWF TMR0, etc.) will clear the prescaler. When
assigned to WDT, a CLRWDT instruction will clear the
prescaler along with the WDT. The prescaler is neither
readable nor writable. On a Reset, the prescaler
contains all ‘0’s.

To change the prescaler from the WDT to the Timer0
module, use the sequence shown in Example 7-2. This
sequence must be used even if the WDT is disabled. A
CLRWDT instruction should be executed before
switching the prescaler.

The prescaler assignment is fully under software

the following instruction sequence (Example 7-1) must
be executed when changing the prescaler assignment
from Timer0 to the WDT.

SPECIAL FEATURES OF THE
CPU
What sets a microcontroller apart from other processors
are special circuits that deal with the needs of real-time
applications. The PIC12F529T39A microcontroller has
a host of such features intended to maximize system
reliability, minimize cost through elimination of external
components, provide power-saving operating modes
and offer code protection. These features are:
• Oscillator Selection
• Reset:
- Power-on Reset (POR)
- Device Reset Timer (DRT)
- Wake-up from Sleep on Pin Change
• Watchdog Timer (WDT)
• Sleep
• Code Protection
• ID Locations
• In-Circuit Serial Programming™
The Sleep mode is designed to offer a very low-current
Power-Down mode. The user can wake-up from Sleep
through a change-on-input-pins or through a Watchdog
Timer time-out. Several oscillator options are also made
available to allow the part to fit the application, including
an internal 4 MHz or 8 MHz oscillator. The EXTRC
oscillator option saves system cost while the LP crystal
option saves power. A set of Configuration bits are used
to select various options.
8.1
Configuration Bits
The PIC12F529T39A Configuration Words consist of
12 bits. Configuration bits can be programmed to select
various device configurations. Two bits are for the
selection of the oscillator type; one bit is the Watchdog
Timer enable bit, one bit is the MCLR enable bit and six
bits are for code protection (Register 8-1).
The PIC12F529T39A device has a Watchdog Timer,
which can be shut off only through Configuration bit
WDTE. It runs off of its own RC oscillator for added
reliability. If using XT or LP selectable oscillator options,
there is always an 18 ms (nominal) delay provided by
the Device Reset Timer (DRT), intended to keep the
chip in Reset until the crystal oscillator is stable. If using
INTRC or EXTRC, the DRT provides a 1 ms (nominal)
delay.

In XT or LP modes, a crystal or ceramic resonator is
connected
to
the
(GP5)/OSC1/(CLKIN)
and
(GP4)/OSC2 pins to establish oscillation (Figure 8-1).
The PIC12F529T39A oscillator designs require the use
of a parallel cut crystal. Use of a series cut crystal may
give a frequency out of the crystal manufacturers
specifications. When in XT or LP modes, the device can
have an external clock source drive the
(GP5)/OSC1/CLKIN pin (Figure 8-2). When the part is
used in this fashion, the output drive levels on the OSC2
pin are very weak. This pin should be left open and
unloaded. Also when using this mode, the external clock
should observe the frequency limits for the clock mode
chosen (XT or LP).
Note 1: The user should verify that the device
oscillator starts and performs as
expected. Adjusting the loading capacitor values and/or the Oscillator mode
may be required.

EXTERNAL CRYSTAL OSCILLATOR
CIRCUIT
Either a prepackaged oscillator or a simple oscillator
circuit with TTL gates can be used as an external
crystal oscillator circuit. Prepackaged oscillators provide
a wide operating range and better stability. A
well-designed crystal oscillator will provide good
performance with TTL gates. Two types of crystal
oscillator circuits can be used: one with parallel
resonance, or one with series resonance.
Figure 8-3 shows implementation of a parallel resonant
oscillator circuit. The circuit is designed to use the
fundamental frequency of the crystal. The 74AS04
inverter performs the 180-degree phase shift that a
parallel oscillator requires. The 4.7 k resistor provides
the negative feedback for stability. The 10 k
potentiometers bias the 74AS04 in the linear region.
This circuit could be used for external oscillator designs.

EXTERNAL RC OSCILLATOR
For timing insensitive applications, the RC circuit option
offers additional cost savings. The RC oscillator
frequency is a function of the supply voltage, the
resistor (REXT) and capacitor (CEXT) values, and the
operating temperature. In addition to this, the oscillator
frequency will vary from unit-to-unit due to normal
process parameter variation. Furthermore, the
difference in lead frame capacitance between package
types will also affect the oscillation frequency, especially
for low CEXT values. The user also needs to take into
account variation due to tolerance of external R and C
components used.
Figure 8-5 shows how the R/C combination is
connected to the PIC12F529T39A device. For REXT
values below 3.0 k, the oscillator operation may
become unstable, or stop completely. For very high
REXT values (e.g., 1 M), the oscillator becomes
sensitive to noise, humidity and leakage. It is
recommended keeping REXT between 5.0 k and
100 k.
Although the oscillator will operate with no external
capacitor (CEXT = 0 pF), it is recommended using
values above 20 pF for noise and stability reasons. With
no or small external capacitance, the oscillation
frequency can vary dramatically due to changes in
external capacitances, such as PCB trace capacitance
or package lead frame capacitance. See Figure 12-1
and Figure 12-2.

INTERNAL 4/8 MHz RC
OSCILLATOR
The internal RC oscillator provides a fixed 4/8 MHz
(nominal) system clock at VDD = 3.5V and 25°C, (see
Section 12.0
“Electrical
Characteristics”
for
information on variation over voltage and temperature).
In addition, a calibration instruction is programmed into
the last address of memory, which contains the
calibration value for the internal RC oscillator. This
location is always non-code-protected, regardless of the
code-protect settings. This value is programmed as a
MOVLW XX instruction where XX is the calibration value,
and is placed at the Reset vector. This will load the W
register with the calibration value upon Reset and the
PC will then roll over to the users program at address
0x000. The user then has the option of writing the value
to the OSCCAL register (05h) or ignoring it.
OSCCAL, when written to with the calibration value, will
“trim” the internal oscillator to remove process variation
from the oscillator frequency.
Note:
Erasing the device will also erase the
pre-programmed internal calibration value
for the internal oscillator. The calibration
value must be read prior to erasing the
part so it can be reprogrammed correctly
later.
TABLE 8-3:
Register
For the PIC12F529T39A device, only bits <7:1> of
OSCCAL are used for calibration. See Register 4-3 for
more information.
Note:
8.3
The bit 0 of the OSCCAL register is
unimplemented and should be written as
‘0’ when modifying OSCCAL for
compatibility with future devices.
Reset
The device differentiates between various kinds of
Reset:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Power-on Reset (POR)
MCLR Reset during normal operation
MCLR Reset during Sleep
WDT Time-out Reset during normal operation
WDT Time-out Reset during Sleep
Wake-up from Sleep on pin change
Some registers are not reset in any way, and they are
unknown on Power-on Reset (POR) and unchanged in
any other Reset. Most other registers are reset to
“Reset state” on Power-on Reset (POR), MCLR, WDT
or Wake-up on pin change Reset during normal
operation. They are not affected by a WDT Reset
during Sleep or MCLR Reset during Sleep, since these
Resets are viewed as resumption of normal operation.

MCLR ENABLE
This Configuration bit, when unprogrammed (left in the
‘1’ state), enables the external MCLR function. When
programmed, the MCLR function is tied to the internal
VDD and the pin is assigned to be a I/O. See Figure 8-6.
FIGURE 8-6:
MCLR SELECT
A power-up example where MCLR is held low is shown
in Figure 8-8. VDD is allowed to rise and stabilize before
bringing MCLR high. The chip will actually come out of
Reset TDRT after MCLR goes high.
GPPU
GP3/MCLR/VPP
MCLRE
8.4
The Power-on Reset circuit and the Device Reset Timer
(see Section 8.5 “Device Reset Timer (DRT)”) circuit
are closely related. On power-up, the Reset latch is set
and the DRT is reset. The DRT timer begins counting
once it detects MCLR to be high. After the time-out
period, which is typically 18 ms or 1 ms, it will reset the
Reset latch and thus end the on-chip Reset signal.
Internal MCLR
Power-on Reset (POR)
The PIC12F529T39A device incorporates an on-chip
Power-on Reset (POR) circuitry, which provides an
internal chip Reset for most power-up situations.
The on-chip POR circuit holds the chip in Reset until
VDD has reached a high enough level for proper
operation. To take advantage of the internal POR,
program the GP3/MCLR/VPP pin as MCLR and tie
through a resistor to VDD, or program the pin as GP3, in
which case, an internal weak pull-up resistor is
implemented using a transistor (refer to Table 12-4 for
the pull-up resistor ranges). This will eliminate external
RC components usually needed to create a Power-on
Reset. A maximum rise time for VDD is specified. See
Section 12.0 “Electrical Characteristics” for details.
In Figure 8-9, the on-chip Power-on Reset feature is
being used (MCLR and VDD are tied together or the pin
is programmed to be GP3). The VDD is stable before
the Start-up timer times out and there is no problem in
getting a proper Reset. However, Figure 8-10 depicts a
problem situation where VDD rises too slowly. The time
between when the DRT senses that MCLR is high and
when MCLR and VDD actually reach their full value, is
too long. In this situation, when the start-up timer times
out, VDD has not reached the VDD (min) value and the
chip may not function correctly. For such situations, we
recommend that external RC circuits be used to
achieve longer POR delay times (Figure 8-9).
Note:
When the devices start normal operation
(exit the Reset condition), device operating parameters (voltage, frequency, temperature, etc.) must be met to ensure
operation. If these conditions are not met,
the device must be held in Reset until the
operating conditions are met.
For additional information, refer to Application Note
AN522, “Power-Up Considerations” (DS00522).
When the devices start normal operation (exit the Reset
condition), device operating parameters (voltage,
frequency, temperature,...) must be met to ensure
operation. If these conditions are not met, the devices
must be held in Reset until the operating parameters
are met.

Reset circuit is shown in Figure 8-7.

Device Reset Timer (DRT)
8.6
On the PIC12F529T39A device, the DRT runs any time
the device is powered up. DRT runs from Reset and
varies based on oscillator selection and Reset type (see
Table 8-5).
The DRT operates on an internal RC oscillator. The
processor is kept in Reset as long as the DRT is active.
The DRT delay allows VDD to rise above VDD min. and
for the oscillator to stabilize.
Oscillator circuits based on crystals or ceramic
resonators require a certain time after power-up to
establish a stable oscillation. The on-chip DRT keeps
the devices in a Reset condition after MCLR has
reached a logic high (VIH MCLR) level. Programming
GP3/MCLR/VPP as MCLR and using an external RC
network connected to the MCLR input is not required in
most cases. This allows savings in cost-sensitive and/or
space restricted applications, as well as allowing the
use of the GP3/MCLR/VPP pin as a general purpose
input.
The Device Reset Time delays will vary from
chip-to-chip due to VDD, temperature and process
variation. See AC parameters for details.
The DRT will also be triggered upon a Watchdog Timer
time-out from Sleep. This is particularly important for
applications using the WDT to wake from Sleep mode
automatically.
Reset sources are POR, MCLR, WDT time-out and
wake-up on pin change. See Section 8.8.2 “Wake-up
from Sleep”, Notes 1, 2 and 3.

Watchdog Timer (WDT)
The Watchdog Timer (WDT) is a free running on-chip
RC oscillator, which does not require any external
components. This RC oscillator is separate from the
external RC oscillator of the (GP5)/OSC1/CLKIN pin
and the internal 4 or 8 MHz oscillator. This means that
the WDT will run even if the main processor clock has
been stopped, for example, by execution of a SLEEP
instruction. During normal operation or Sleep, a WDT
Reset or wake-up Reset, generates a device Reset.
The TO bit (STATUS<4>) will be cleared upon a
Watchdog Timer Reset.
The WDT can be permanently disabled by
programming the configuration WDTE as a ‘0’ (see
Section 8.1 “Configuration Bits”). Refer to the
PIC12F529T39A
Programming
Specification
(DS41316) to determine how to access the
Configuration Word.
8.6.1
WDT PERIOD
The WDT has a nominal time-out period of 18 ms, (with
no prescaler). If a longer time-out period is desired, a
prescaler with a division ratio of up to 1:128 can be
assigned to the WDT (under software control) by writing
to the OPTION register. Thus, a time-out period of a
nominal 2.3 seconds can be realized. These periods
vary with temperature, VDD and part-to-part process
variations (see DC specs).
Under worst-case conditions (VDD = Min., Temperature
= Max., max. WDT prescaler), it may take several
seconds before a WDT time-out occurs.
8.6.2
WDT PROGRAMMING
CONSIDERATIONS
The CLRWDT instruction clears the WDT and the
postscaler, if assigned to the WDT, and prevents it from
timing out and generating a device Reset.
The SLEEP instruction resets the WDT and the
postscaler, if assigned to the WDT. This gives the
maximum Sleep time before a WDT wake-up Reset.

be read, regardless of the setting of the program
memory's code protection bit. If the code-protect bit
specific to the Flash data memory is programmed,
then none of the contents of this memory region can
be verified externally.
Refer to PIC12F529T48A/T39A Memory Programming
Specification (DS41619) for more information on

In-Circuit Serial Programming™
The PIC12F529T39A device can be serially
programmed while in the end application circuit. This is
simply done with two lines for clock and data, and three
other lines for power, ground and the programming
voltage. This allows users to manufacture boards with
unprogrammed PIC12F519 device and then program
the PIC12F519 device just before shipping the product.
This also allows the most recent firmware, or a custom
firmware, to be programmed.
The PIC12F529T39A device is placed into a
Program/Verify mode by holding the GP1 and GP0 pins
low while raising the MCLR (VPP) pin from VIL to VIHH
(see programming specification). The GP1 pin
becomes the programming clock, and the GP0 pin
becomes the programming data. Both GP1 and GP0
pins are Schmitt Trigger inputs in this mode.
After Reset, a 6-bit command is then supplied to the
device. Depending on the command, 14 bits of program
data are then supplied to or from the device, depending
if the command was a Load or a Read. For complete
details of serial programming, please refer to the
“PIC12F529T48A/T39A
Memory
Programming
Specification,” (DS41619).
A typical In-Circuit Serial Programming connection is
shown in Figure 8-12.
ID Locations
Four memory locations are designated as ID locations
where users can store checksum or other code
identification numbers. These locations are not
accessible during normal execution, but are readable
and writable during program/verify.
Use only the lower four bits of the ID locations. The
upper bits should be programmed as ‘0’s.

tSTART
The RF transmitter contains of a sigma-delta
fractional-N Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) frequency
synthesizer. Frequency Shift Keying (FSK) modulation
is made inside the PLL bandwidth. On-Off Keying
(OOK) modulation is made by turning on and off the
Power Amplifier (PA).
The reference frequency is generated by an internal
crystal oscillator. An external quartz crystal resonator is
connected to the XTAL pin and Ground (VSSRF). The
choice of crystal frequency depends on the frequency
band of choice.
The RF transmitter can deliver 0 dBm or +10 dBm into
a 50Ω load via the RFOUT pin. An external matching
network is required for each power setting and
frequency band for the best efficiency to the antenna.
9.2
The CTRL and DATA pins are used to configure the RF
transmitter for transmit frequency, output power, modulation, FSK frequency deviation, and sleep time. Once
configured, the DATA pin is used to encode transmit
data.

CTRL
CTRL pin Sampled
If the POR settings are satisfactory for the application,

Configuring the RF Transmitter
POWER-ON RESET (POR)
At power-on, the CTRL pin is sampled as shown in
Figure 9-2 and depending on the CTRL pin logic level,
the RF transmitter will enter one of two Power-on Reset
(POR) values as shown in Table 9-3 and Table 9-4. To
continue using the RF transmitter with these POR values, maintain the CTRL pin stable and at the powered-on logic level. With the DATA pin at logic ‘0’, the
RF transmitter will enter Sleep mode.

TIMING DIAGRAM
RF TRANSMITTER REGISTERS
RF transmitter has three registers: Application,
Frequency, and Status. These are used to write and
read configuration parameters related to transmit
frequency, output power, modulation, FSK frequency
deviation, and Sleep time. A summary of register
values are shown in Table 9-2. A detailed explanation
of Application register is shown in Table 9-3, Frequency
register values in Table 9-4, and STATUS register in
Table 9-5.
To access the registers, the DATA line is sampled at
each low-to-high transition on the CTRL pin. A total of
24 transitions are required on the CTRL pin to successfully write or read a value in the registers. Register write
and read operations are shown in Figure 9-3.
Writing and reading the RF transmitter registers should
be done when the device is in Sleep mode. See
Section 9.2.4 “Sleep Mode”.
Note: It is recommended that a weak pull-up or

register (see Table 9-5)
RF data is transmitted when the DATA pin is at a logic
‘1’ for greater than tWAKE as shown in Figure 9-5. The
CTRL pin must remain stable (either logic ‘0’ or ‘1’). If
the modulation mode is OOK, the transmitted signal is
turned on and off by the DATA pin. If the modulation
mode is FSK, the transmitted signal is frequency
shifted by the DATA pin. The encoding of the transmitted signal is determined by the length of time the DATA
pin is held logic ‘0’ or ‘1’.

DIGITAL TRANSMISSION SYSTEM
(DTS)
In the United States and Canada, digital modulation
techniques are permitted (FCC Part 15.247 and
RSS-210, respectively). The RF transmitter can be
configured for DTS mode by selecting FSK and fDEV =
200 kHz. Data encoding techniques, such as data whitening, may be needed to ensure that the minimum 6 dB
bandwidth is at least 500 kHz.
FSK modulation can be configured by clearing the
modulation DA14 bit in the Application register. Frequency Deviation (fDEV) is configured by setting the
DA<12:5> bits in the Application register. Data is transmitted as stated in Section 9.2.3 “Data Transmission”.

Frequency Selection and
Configuration
9.4.1
The Band bit, DA13, in the Application register
configures the RF transmitter for a range of frequencies
for a given crystal frequency as shown in Table 9-6.
The RF transmitter is capable of generating many of
the popular RF frequencies that are permitted within
the radio regulations of the country the finished product
will be sold. The RF frequency configuration is
performed by determining which frequency band,
selecting the crystal frequency, and setting the
frequency value in the Frequency register DF<18:0>. If
FSK modulation is used, the frequency deviation is set
in the Application register DA<12:5>. See
Section 9.2.2 “RF Transmitter Registers” for
information on Configuration register settings.

CRYSTAL SELECTION
Once the frequency band has been selected, the
choice of crystal frequency is flexible provided the
crystal meets the specifications summarized in
Table 9-7, the boundaries of the Frequency register
DF<18:0> are followed as shown in Figure 9-7, and RF
transmit frequency error is acceptable (see
Section 9.4.3 “Frequency Calculation”).

The crystal frequency tolerance and frequency stability
over the operating temperature range depends on the
system frequency budget. Typically, the receiver crystal
frequency tolerance, stability, and receiver bandwidth
will have the greatest influence. For OOK modulation,
the transmitted RF signal (fRF) should remain inside the
receiver bandwidth, otherwise signal degradation will
occur. For FSK modulation, fRF should remain inside
the receiver bandwidth and within 0.5 * fDEV.
As a general practice, do not choose a RF transmit
signal (fRF) with an integer or near integer multiple of
fXTAL. This will result in higher noise and spurious
emissions.
DS41635A-page 58
9.4.3
FREQUENCY CALCULATION
Once the frequency band and crystal frequency are
selected, the RF transmit signal (fRF) is calculated by
setting the Frequency register DF(18:0) bits according
to the formula shown in Figure 9-7. If the calculated
value for DF(18:0) is not an integer, there will be an
associated transmit frequency error. Ensure that this
error is within the acceptable system frequency budget.
Similarly, the frequency deviation is calculated as
shown in Figure 9-7.

INSTRUCTION SET SUMMARY
The PIC12F529T39A instruction set is highly
orthogonal and is comprised of three basic categories.
• Byte-oriented operations
• Bit-oriented operations
• Literal and control operations
Each PIC12F529T39A instruction is a 12-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 10-1, while the
various opcode fields are summarized in Table 10-1.
For byte-oriented instructions, ‘f’ represents a file register designator and ‘d’ represents a destination designator. The file register designator specifies which file
register is to be used by the instruction.
The destination designator specifies where the result of
the operation is to be placed. If ‘d’ is ‘0’, the result is
placed in the W register. If ‘d’ is ‘1’, 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 number of the bit affected
by the operation, while ‘f’ represents the number of the
file in which the bit is located.
For literal and control operations, ‘k’ represents an
8 or 9-bit constant or literal value.
TABLE 10-1:
Figure 10-1 shows the three general formats that the
instructions can have. All examples in the figure use
the following format to represent a hexadecimal
number:
0xhhh
where ‘h’ signifies a hexadecimal digit.

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. In this
case, the execution takes two instruction cycles. One
instruction cycle consists of four oscillator periods.
Thus, for an oscillator frequency of 4 MHz, the normal
instruction execution time is 1 s. If a conditional test is
true or the program counter is changed as a result of an
instruction, the instruction execution time is 2 s.

Note 1: The 9th bit of the program counter will be forced to a ‘0’ by any instruction that writes to the PC except for
GOTO. See Section 4.6 “Program Counter”.
2: When an I/O register is modified as a function of itself (e.g. MOVF GPIO, 1), the value used will be that
value present on the pins themselves. For example, if the data latch is ‘1’ for a pin configured as input and
is driven low by an external device, the data will be written back with a ‘0’.
3: The instruction TRIS f, where f = 6, causes the contents of the W register to be written to the tri-state
latches of GPIO. A ‘1’ forces the pin to a high-impedance state and disables the output buffers.
4: If this instruction is executed on the TMR0 register (and, where applicable, d = 1), the prescaler will be
cleared (if assigned to TMR0).

These parameters are characterized but not tested.
Data in the Typical (“Typ”) column is based on characterization results at 25C. This data is for design
guidance only and is not tested.
This is the limit to which VDD can be lowered in Sleep mode without losing RAM data.
The supply current is mainly a function of the operating voltage and frequency. Other factors such as bus
loading, oscillator type, bus rate, internal code execution pattern and temperature also have an impact on
the current consumption.
The test conditions for all IDD measurements in active operation mode are:
OSC1 = external square wave, from rail-to-rail for external clock modes; all I/O pins tri-stated, pulled to
VSS, T0CKI = VDD, MCLR = VDD; WDT enabled/disabled as specified.
For standby current measurements, the conditions are the same as IDD, except that the device is in Sleep
mode. If a module current is listed, the current is for that specific module enabled and the device in Sleep.

–40C  TA  +85C
Data in “Typ” column is at 5V, 25C unless otherwise stated. These parameters are for design guidance only and are
not tested.
In EXTRC oscillator configuration, the OSC1/CLKIN pin is a Schmitt Trigger input. It is not recommended that the
PIC12F529T39A be driven with external clock in RC mode.
The leakage current on the MCLR pin is strongly dependent on the applied voltage level. The specified levels represent
normal operating conditions. Higher leakage current may be measured at different input voltages.
Negative current is defined as coming out of the pin.
This specification applies to GP3/MCLR configured as GP3 with internal pull-up disabled.
This specification applies to all weak pull-up devices, including the weak pull-up found on GP3/MCLR. The current
value listed will be the same whether or not the pin is configured as GP3 with pull-up enabled or MCLR.

Note 1:
These parameters are characterized but not tested.
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. When an external clock
input is used, the “max” cycle time limit is “DC” (no clock) for all devices.

DC AND AC CHARACTERISTICS GRAPHS AND CHARTS
The graphs and tables provided in this section are for design guidance and are not tested.
In some graphs or tables, the data presented are outside specified operating range (i.e., outside specified VDD
range). This is for information only and devices are ensured to operate properly only within the specified range.
Note:
The graphs and tables provided following this note are a statistical summary based on a limited number of
samples and are provided for informational purposes only. The performance characteristics listed herein
are not tested or guaranteed. In some graphs or tables, the data presented may be outside the specified
operating range (e.g., outside specified power supply range) and therefore, outside the warranted range.
“Typical” represents the mean of the distribution at 25C. “Maximum” or “minimum” represents (mean + 3) or
(mean - 3) respectively, where  is a standard deviation, over each temperature range.
