DEVICE OVERVIEW
With the addition of new operating modes, the external
memory interface offers many new options, including:
This document contains device specific information for
the following devices:
•
•
•
•
PIC18F6525
PIC18F6621
PIC18F8525
PIC18F8621
This family offers the advantages of all
PIC18 microcontrollers - namely, high computational
performance at an economical price - with the
addition of high endurance enhanced FLASH program
memory. The PIC18F6X2X/8X2X family also provides
an enhanced range of program memory options and
versatile analog features that make it ideal for complex,
high performance applications.
1.1
1.1.1
Key Features
EXPANDED MEMORY
The PIC18F6X2X/8X2X family provides ample room
for application code, and includes members with
48 Kbytes or 64 Kbytes of code space.
Other memory features are:
• Data
RAM
and
Data
EEPROM:
The
PIC18F6X2X/8X2X family also provides plenty of
room for application data. The devices have
3840 bytes of data RAM as well as 1024 bytes of
data EEPROM for long term retention of non-volatile
data.
• Memory Endurance: The enhanced FLASH cells
for both program memory and data EEPROM are
rated to last for many thousands of erase/write
cycles - up to 100,000 for program memory, and
1,000,000 for EEPROM. Data retention without
refresh is conservatively estimated to be greater
than 40 years.
1.1.2
EXTERNAL MEMORY INTERFACE
In the unlikely event that 64 Kbytes of program memory
is inadequate for an application, the PIC18F8X2X
members of the family also implement an external
memory interface. This allows the controller’s internal
program counter to address a memory space of up to
2 MBytes, permitting a level of data access that few
8-bit devices can claim.
 2003 Microchip Technology Inc.
• Operating the microcontroller entirely from external
memory
• Using combinations of on-chip and external
memory, up to the 2-Mbyte limit
• Using external FLASH memory for reprogrammable
application code or large data tables
• Using external RAM devices for storing large
amounts of variable data
1.1.3
EASY MIGRATION
Regardless of the memory size, all devices share the
same rich set of peripherals, allowing for a smooth
migration path as applications grow and evolve.
The consistent pinout scheme used throughout the
entire family also aids in migrating to the next larger
device. This is true when moving between the 64-pin
members, between the 80-pin members, or even
jumping from 64-pin to 80-pin devices.
1.1.4
OTHER SPECIAL FEATURES
• Communications: The PIC18F6X2X/8X2X family
incorporates a range of serial communication
peripherals, including 2 independent enhanced
USARTs and a Master SSP module capable of both
SPI and I2C (Master and Slave) modes of operation.
Also, for PIC18F6X2X/8X2X devices, one of the
general purpose I/O ports can be reconfigured as an
8-bit parallel slave port for direct processor to
processor communications.
• CCP Modules: All devices in the family incorporate
two Capture/Compare/PWM (CCP) modules and
three enhanced CCP modules to maximize flexibility
in control applications. Up to four different time
bases may be used to perform several different
operations at once. Each of the three ECCPs offer
up to four PWM outputs, allowing for a total of 12
PWMs. The ECCPs also offer many beneficial features, including polarity selection, programmable
dead-time, auto shutdown and restart, and
Half-Bridge and Full-Bridge Output modes.
• Analog Features: All devices in the family feature
10-bit A/D converters with up to 16 input channels,
as well as the ability to perform conversions during
SLEEP mode and auto-acquisition conversions.
Also included are dual analog comparators with
programmable input and output configuration, a
programmable Low Voltage Detect module, and a
Programmable Brown-out Reset module.
• Self-programmability: These devices can write to
their own program memory spaces under internal
software control. By using a bootloader routine
located in the protected boot block at the top of
program memory, it becomes possible to create an
application that can update itself in the field.

2: When operating below 3V VDD, or when
using certain ceramic resonators at any
voltage, it may be necessary to use high
gain HS mode, try a lower frequency
resonator, or switch to a crystal oscillator.
3: Since each resonator/crystal has its own
characteristics, the user should consult the
resonator/crystal manufacturer for appropriate values of external components, or
verify oscillator performance.

RC Oscillator
For timing insensitive applications, the “RC” and
“RCIO” device options offer 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 2-3 shows how the
R/C combination is connected.
In the RC Oscillator mode, the oscillator frequency
divided by 4 is available on the OSC2 pin. This signal
may be used for test purposes or to synchronize other
logic.

External Clock Input
2.5
The EC, ECIO, EC+PLL and EC+SPLL Oscillator
modes require an external clock source to be connected to the OSC1 pin. The feedback device between
OSC1 and OSC2 is turned off in these modes to save
current. There is a maximum 1.5 µs start-up required
after a Power-on Reset or Wake-up from SLEEP mode.
In the EC Oscillator mode, the oscillator frequency

may be used for test purposes or to synchronize other
logic. Figure 2-4 shows the pin connections for the EC

The ECIO Oscillator mode functions like the EC mode
except that the OSC2 pin becomes an additional general purpose I/O pin. The I/O pin becomes bit 6 of
PORTA (RA6). Figure 2-5 shows the pin connections
for the ECIO Oscillator mode.

A phase locked loop circuit is provided as a
programmable option for users that want to multiply the
frequency of the incoming oscillator signal by 4. For an
input clock frequency of 10 MHz, the internal clock
frequency will be multiplied to 40 MHz. This is useful for
customers who are concerned with EMI due to high
frequency crystals.
The PLL can only be enabled when the oscillator configuration bits are programmed for High Speed Oscillator or External Clock mode. If they are programmed for
any other mode, the PLL is not enabled and the system
clock will come directly from OSC1. There are two
types of PLL modes - Software Controlled PLL and
Configuration bits Controlled PLL. In Software Controlled PLL mode, PIC18F6X2X/8X2X executes at regular clock frequency after all RESET conditions. During
execution, the application can enable PLL and switch
to 4x clock frequency operation by setting the PLLEN
bit in the OSCCON register. In Configuration bits Controlled PLL, the PLL operation cannot be changed “onthe-fly”. To enable or disable it, the controller must
either cycle through a Power-on Reset, or switch the
clock source from the main oscillator to the Timer1
oscillator and back again (see Section 2.6 for details on
oscillator switching).
The type of PLL is selected by programming
FOSC<3:0> configuration bits in CONFIG1H Configuration register. The Oscillator mode is specified during
device programming.
A PLL lock timer is used to ensure that the PLL has
locked before device execution starts. The PLL lock
timer has a time-out that is called TPLL.

Oscillator Switching Feature
The PIC18F6X2X/8X2X devices include a feature that
allows the system clock source to be switched from the
main oscillator to an alternate low frequency clock
source. For the PIC18F6X2X/8X2X devices, this
alternate clock source is the Timer1 oscillator. If a low
frequency crystal (32 kHz, for example) has been
attached to the Timer1 oscillator pins and the Timer1
oscillator has been enabled, the device can switch to a
FIGURE 2-7:
Low Power Execution mode. Figure 2-7 shows a block
diagram of the system clock sources. The clock
switching feature is enabled by programming the
Oscillator Switching Enable (OSCSEN) bit in the
CONFIG1H Configuration register to a ‘0’. Clock
switching is disabled in an erased device. See
Section 12.0 for further details of the Timer1 oscillator.

SYSTEM CLOCK SWITCH BIT
Note:
The Timer1 oscillator must be enabled
and operating to switch the system clock
source. The Timer1 oscillator is enabled
by setting the T1OSCEN bit in the Timer1
Control register (T1CON). If the Timer1
oscillator is not enabled, then any write to
the SCS0 bit will be ignored (SCS0 bit
forced cleared) and the main oscillator will
continue to be the system clock source.
The system clock source switching is performed under
software control. The system clock switch bits,
SCS1:SCS0 (OSCCON<1:0>), control the clock
switching. When the SCS0 bit is ‘0’, the system clock
source comes from the main oscillator that is selected
by the FOSC configuration bits in CONFIG1H Configuration register. When the SCS0 bit is set, the system
clock source will come from the Timer1 oscillator. The
SCS0 bit is cleared on all forms of RESET.
When FOSC bits are programmed for Software PLL
mode, SCS1 bit can be used to select between primary
oscillator/clock and PLL output. SCS1 bit will only have
an effect on the system clock if the PLL is enabled
(PLLEN = 1) and locked (LOCK = 1), else it will be
forced cleared. When programmed with Configuration
Controlled PLL, SCS1 bit will be forced clear.

OSCILLATOR TRANSITIONS
A timing diagram indicating the transition from the main
oscillator to the Timer1 oscillator is shown in Figure 2-8.
The Timer1 oscillator is assumed to be running all the
time. After the SCS0 bit is set, the processor is frozen at
the next occurring Q1 cycle. After eight synchronization
cycles are counted from the Timer1 oscillator, operation
resumes. No additional delays are required after the
synchronization cycles.
PIC18F6X2X/8X2X devices contain circuitry to prevent
“glitches” when switching between oscillator sources.
Essentially, the circuitry waits for eight rising edges of
the clock source that the processor is switching to. This
ensures that the new clock source is stable and that its
pulse width will not be less than the shortest pulse
width of the two clock sources.

Effects of SLEEP Mode on the
On-Chip Oscillator
When the device executes a SLEEP instruction, the onchip clocks and oscillator are turned off and the device
is held at the beginning of an instruction cycle (Q1
state). With the oscillator off, the OSC1 and OSC2
signals will stop oscillating. Since all the transistor
TABLE 2-3:
switching currents have been removed, SLEEP mode
achieves the lowest current consumption of the device
(only leakage currents). Enabling any on-chip feature
that will operate during SLEEP will increase the current
consumed during SLEEP. The user can wake from
SLEEP through external RESET, Watchdog Timer
Reset, or through an interrupt.

Power-up Delays
Power-up delays are controlled by two timers so that no
external RESET circuitry is required for most applications. The delays ensure that the device is kept in
RESET until the device power supply and clock are stable. For additional information on RESET operation,
see Section 3.0, “Reset”.
The first timer is the Power-up Timer (PWRT) which
optionally provides a fixed delay of 72 ms (nominal) on
power-up only (POR and BOR). The second timer is
the Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST), intended to keep
the chip in RESET until the crystal oscillator is stable.
 2003 Microchip Technology Inc.
With the PLL enabled (HS+PLL and EC+PLL Oscillator
mode), the time-out sequence following a Power-on
Reset is different from other Oscillator modes. The
time-out sequence is as follows: First, the PWRT timeout is invoked after a POR time delay has expired.
Then, the Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) is invoked.
However, this is still not a sufficient amount of time to
allow the PLL to lock at high frequencies. The PWRT
timer is used to provide an additional fixed 2 ms (nominal) time-out to allow the PLL ample time to lock to the
incoming clock frequency.

Most registers are not affected by a WDT wake-up
since this is viewed as the resumption of normal operation. Status bits from the RCON register, RI, TO, PD,
POR and BOR, are set or cleared differently in different
RESET situations as indicated in Table 3-2. These bits
are used in software to determine the nature of the
RESET. See Table 3-3 for a full description of the
RESET states of all registers.
A simplified block diagram of the On-Chip Reset Circuit
is shown in Figure 3-1.
The enhanced MCU devices have a MCLR noise filter
in the MCLR Reset path. The filter will detect and
ignore small pulses. The MCLR pin is not driven low by
any internal RESETS, including the WDT.
Most registers are unaffected by a RESET. Their status
is unknown on POR and unchanged by all other
RESETS. The other registers are forced to a “RESET
state” on Power-on Reset, MCLR, WDT Reset, Brownout Reset, MCLR Reset during SLEEP and by the
RESET instruction.

Power-on Reset (POR)
3.3
A Power-on Reset pulse is generated on-chip when
VDD rise is detected. To take advantage of the POR circuitry, tie the MCLR pin through a 1 kΩ to 10 kΩ resistor to VDD. This will eliminate external RC components
usually needed to create a Power-on Reset delay. A
minimum rise rate for VDD is specified (parameter
D004). For a slow rise time, see Figure 3-2.
When the device starts normal operation (i.e., exits 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.

The Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) provides 1024
oscillator cycle (from OSC1 input) delays after the
PWRT delay is over (parameter #32). This ensures that
the crystal oscillator or resonator has started and
stabilized.
The OST time-out is invoked only for XT, LP and HS
modes and only on Power-on Reset, or wake-up from
SLEEP.
3.4
PIC18F6X2X/8X2X
External Power-on Reset circuit is required
only if the VDD power-up slope is too slow.
The diode D helps discharge the capacitor
quickly when VDD powers down.
R < 40 kΩ is recommended to make sure
that the voltage drop across R does not
violate the device’s electrical specification.
R1 = 1 kΩ to 10 kΩ will limit any current
flowing into MCLR from external capacitor
C in the event of MCLR/VPP pin breakdown,
due to Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) or
Electrical Overstress (EOS).
Power-up Timer (PWRT)
The Power-up Timer provides a fixed nominal time-out
(parameter #33) only on power-up from the POR. The
Power-up Timer operates on an internal RC oscillator.
The chip is kept in RESET as long as the PWRT is
active. The PWRT’s time delay allows VDD to rise to an
acceptable level. A configuration bit is provided to
enable/disable the PWRT.
The power-up time delay will vary from chip-to-chip due
to VDD, temperature and process variation. See DC
parameter #33 for details.
PLL Lock Time-out
With the PLL enabled, the time-out sequence following
a Power-on Reset is different from other Oscillator
modes. A portion of the Power-up Timer is used to provide a fixed time-out that is sufficient for the PLL to lock
to the main oscillator frequency. This PLL lock time-out
(TPLL) is typically 2 ms and follows the oscillator
start-up time-out.
3.5
VDD
Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST)
Brown-out Reset (BOR)
A configuration bit, BOREN, can disable (if clear/
programmed) or enable (if set) the Brown-out Reset
circuitry. If VDD falls below parameter D005 for greater
than parameter #35, the brown-out situation will reset
the chip. A RESET may not occur if VDD falls below
parameter D005 for less than parameter #35. The chip
will remain in Brown-out Reset until VDD rises above
BVDD. If the Power-up Timer is enabled, it will be
invoked after VDD rises above BVDD; it then will keep
the chip in RESET for an additional time delay
(parameter #33). If VDD drops below BVDD while the
Power-up Timer is running, the chip will go back into a
Brown-out Reset and the Power-up Timer will be
initialized. Once VDD rises above BVDD, the Power-up
Timer will execute the additional time delay.
3.6
Time-out Sequence
On power-up, the time-out sequence is as follows:
First, PWRT time-out is invoked after the POR time
delay has expired. Then, OST is activated. The total
time-out will vary based on oscillator configuration and
the status of the PWRT. For example, in RC mode with
the PWRT disabled, there will be no time-out at all.
Figure 3-3, Figure 3-4, Figure 3-5, Figure 3-6 and
Figure 3-7 depict time-out sequences on power-up.
Since the time-outs occur from the POR pulse, the
time-outs will expire if MCLR is kept low long enough.
Bringing MCLR high will begin execution immediately
(Figure 3-5). This is useful for testing purposes or to
synchronize more than one PIC18F6X2X/8X2X device
operating in parallel.
Table 3-2 shows the RESET conditions for some
Special Function Registers, while Table 3-3 shows the

u = unchanged, x = unknown, - = unimplemented bit, read as ‘0’, q = value depends on condition.
Shaded cells indicate conditions do not apply for the designated device.
One or more bits in the INTCONx or PIRx registers will be affected (to cause wake-up).
When the wake-up is due to an interrupt and the GIEL or GIEH bit is set, the PC is loaded with the interrupt
vector (0008h or 0018h).
When the wake-up is due to an interrupt and the GIEL or GIEH bit is set, the TOSU, TOSH and TOSL are
updated with the current value of the PC. The STKPTR is modified to point to the next location in the
hardware stack.
See Table 3-2 for RESET value for specific condition.
Bit 6 of PORTA, LATA, and TRISA are enabled in ECIO and RCIO Oscillator modes only. In all other
Oscillator modes, they are disabled and read ‘0’.
Bit 6 of PORTA, LATA and TRISA are not available on all devices. When unimplemented, they are read ‘0’.
If MCLR function is disabled, PORTG<5> is a read only bit.

One or more bits in the INTCONx or PIRx registers will be affected (to cause wake-up).
When the wake-up is due to an interrupt and the GIEL or GIEH bit is set, the PC is loaded with the interrupt
vector (0008h or 0018h).
When the wake-up is due to an interrupt and the GIEL or GIEH bit is set, the TOSU, TOSH and TOSL are
updated with the current value of the PC. The STKPTR is modified to point to the next location in the
hardware stack.
See Table 3-2 for RESET value for specific condition.
Bit 6 of PORTA, LATA, and TRISA are enabled in ECIO and RCIO Oscillator modes only. In all other
Oscillator modes, they are disabled and read ‘0’.
Bit 6 of PORTA, LATA and TRISA are not available on all devices. When unimplemented, they are read ‘0’.
If MCLR function is disabled, PORTG<5> is a read only bit.

MEMORY ORGANIZATION
There are three memory blocks in PIC18F6X2X/8X2X
devices. They are:
• Program Memory
• Data RAM
• Data EEPROM
Data and program memory use separate busses which
allows for concurrent access of these blocks. Additional
detailed information for FLASH program memory and
data EEPROM is provided in Section 5.0 and
Section 7.0, respectively.
In addition to on-chip FLASH, the PIC18F8X2X devices
are also capable of accessing external program memory through an external memory bus. Depending on the
selected operating mode (discussed in Section 4.1.1),
the controllers may access either internal or external
program memory exclusively, or both internal and
external memory in selected blocks. Additional information on the external memory interface is provided in
Section 6.0.
4.1
Program Memory Organization
A 21-bit program counter is capable of addressing the
2-Mbyte program memory space. Accessing a location
between the physically implemented memory and the
2-Mbyte address will cause a read of all ‘0’s (a NOP
instruction).
The PIC18F6525 and PIC18F8525 each have
48 Kbytes of on-chip FLASH memory, while the
PIC18F6621 and PIC18F8621 have 64 Kbytes of
FLASH. This means that PIC18FX525 devices can
store internally up to 24,576 single word instructions,
and PIC18FX621 devices can store up to 32,768 single
word instructions.
The RESET vector address is at 0000h, and the
interrupt vector addresses are at 0008h and 0018h.
Figure 4-1 shows the program memory map for
PIC18FX525 devices, while Figure 4-2 shows the
program memory map for PIC18FX621 devices.
4.1.1
PIC18F6X2X/8X2X PROGRAM
MEMORY MODES
PIC18F8X2X devices differ significantly from their
PIC18 predecessors in their utilization of program
memory. In addition to available on-chip FLASH program memory, these controllers can also address up to
2 Mbytes of external program memory through the
external memory interface. There are four distinct
operating modes available to the controllers:
•
•
•
•
Microprocessor (MP)
Microprocessor with Boot Block (MPBB)
Extended Microcontroller (EMC)
Microcontroller (MC)
The Program Memory mode is determined by setting
the two Least Significant bits of the CONFIG3L
Configuration Byte register as shown in Register 4-1.
(See also Section 24.1 for additional details on the
device configuration bits.)
The Program Memory modes operate as follows:
• The Microprocessor Mode permits access only
to external program memory; the contents of the
on-chip FLASH memory are ignored. The 21-bit
program counter permits access to a 2-MByte
linear program memory space.
• The Microprocessor with Boot Block Mode
accesses on-chip FLASH memory from addresses
000000h to 0007FFh. Above this, external program
memory is accessed all the way up to the 2-MByte
limit. Program execution automatically switches
between the two memories as required.
• The Microcontroller Mode accesses only
on-chip FLASH memory. Attempts to read above
the physical limit of the on-chip FLASH (BFFFh for
the PIC18FX525, FFFFh for the PIC18FX621)
causes a read of all ‘0’s (a NOP instruction).
The Microcontroller mode is also the only operating
mode available to PIC18F6X2X devices.
• The Extended Microcontroller Mode allows
access to both internal and external program
memories as a single block. The device can
access its entire on-chip FLASH memory; above
this, the device accesses external program memory up to the 2-MByte program space limit. As
with Boot Block mode, execution automatically
switches between the two memories as required.
In all modes, the microcontroller has complete access
to data RAM and EEPROM.
Figure 4-3 compares the memory maps of the different
Program Memory modes. The differences between
on-chip and external memory access limitations are
more fully explained in Table 4-1.

4.2.2
Return Address Stack
The return address stack allows any combination of up
to 31 program calls and interrupts to occur. The PC
(Program Counter) is pushed onto the stack when a
CALL or RCALL instruction is executed, or an interrupt
is Acknowledged. The PC value is pulled off the stack
on a RETURN, RETLW, or a RETFIE instruction.
PCLATU and PCLATH are not affected by any of the
RETURN or CALL instructions.
The stack operates as a 31-word by 21-bit RAM and a
5-bit stack pointer, with the stack pointer initialized to
00000b after all RESETS. There is no RAM associated
with stack pointer 00000b. This is only a RESET value.
During a CALL type instruction causing a push onto the
stack, the stack pointer is first incremented and the
RAM location pointed to by the stack pointer is written
with the contents of the PC. During a RETURN type
instruction causing a pop from the stack, the contents
of the RAM location pointed to by the STKPTR are
transferred to the PC and then the stack pointer is
decremented.
The stack space is not part of either program or data
space. The stack pointer is readable and writable, and
the address on the top of the stack is readable and writable through SFR registers. Data can also be pushed
to, or popped from the stack using the top-of-stack
SFRs. Status bits indicate if the stack pointer is at, or
beyond the 31 levels provided.
4.2.1
TOP-OF-STACK ACCESS
The top of the stack is readable and writable. Three
register locations, TOSU, TOSH and TOSL hold the
contents of the stack location pointed to by the
STKPTR register. This allows users to implement a
software stack if necessary. After a CALL, RCALL or
interrupt, the software can read the pushed value by
reading the TOSU, TOSH and TOSL registers. These
values can be placed on a user defined software stack.
At return time, the software can replace the TOSU,
TOSH and TOSL and do a return.
RETURN STACK POINTER
(STKPTR)
The STKPTR register contains the stack pointer value,
the STKFUL (stack full) status bit, and the STKUNF
(stack underflow) status bits. Register 4-2 shows the
STKPTR register. The value of the stack pointer can be
0 through 31. The stack pointer increments when values are pushed onto the stack and decrements when
values are popped off the stack. At RESET, the stack
pointer value will be ‘0’. The user may read and write
the stack pointer value. This feature can be used by a
real-time operating system for return stack
maintenance.
After the PC is pushed onto the stack 31 times (without
popping any values off the stack), the STKFUL bit is
set. The STKFUL bit can only be cleared in software or
by a POR.
The action that takes place when the stack becomes
full depends on the state of the STVREN (Stack Overflow Reset Enable) configuration bit. Refer to
Section 25.0 for a description of the device configuration bits. If STVREN is set (default), the 31st push will
push the (PC + 2) value onto the stack, set the STKFUL
bit, and reset the device. The STKFUL bit will remain
set and the stack pointer will be set to ‘0’.
If STVREN is cleared, the STKFUL bit will be set on the
31st push and the stack pointer will increment to 31.
Any additional pushes will not overwrite the 31st push,
and STKPTR will remain at 31.
When the stack has been popped enough times to
unload the stack, the next pop will return a value of zero
to the PC and sets the STKUNF bit, while the stack
pointer remains at ‘0’. The STKUNF bit will remain set
until cleared in software or a POR occurs.
Note:
Returning a value of zero to the PC on an
underflow has the effect of vectoring the
program to the RESET vector, where the
stack conditions can be verified and
appropriate actions can be taken.
The user must disable the global interrupt enable bits
during this time to prevent inadvertent stack
operations.

PUSH AND POP INSTRUCTIONS
Since the Top-of-Stack (TOS) is readable and writable,
the ability to push values onto the stack and pull values
off the stack, without disturbing normal program execution, is a desirable option. To push the current PC value
onto the stack, a PUSH instruction can be executed.
This will increment the stack pointer and load the current PC value onto the stack. TOSU, TOSH and TOSL
can then be modified to place a return address on the
stack.
4.2.4
STACK FULL/UNDERFLOW RESETS
These RESETS are enabled by programming the
STVREN configuration bit. When the STVREN bit is
disabled, a full or underflow condition will set the appropriate STKFUL or STKUNF bit, but not cause a device
RESET. When the STVREN bit is enabled, a full or
underflow condition will set the appropriate STKFUL or
STKUNF bit and then cause a device RESET. The
STKFUL or STKUNF bits are only cleared by the user
software or a POR Reset.
The ability to pull the TOS value off of the stack and
replace it with the value that was previously pushed
onto the stack, without disturbing normal execution, is
achieved by using the POP instruction. The POP instruction discards the current TOS by decrementing the
stack pointer. The previous value pushed onto the
stack then becomes the TOS value.

4.3
Fast Register Stack
4.4
A “fast interrupt return” option is available for interrupts.
A fast register stack is provided for the STATUS,
WREG and BSR registers and is only one in depth. The
stack is not readable or writable and is loaded with the
current value of the corresponding register when the
processor vectors for an interrupt. The values in the
registers are then loaded back into the working registers if the FAST RETURN instruction is used to return
from the interrupt.
PCL, PCLATH and PCLATU
The program counter (PC) specifies the address of the
instruction to fetch for execution. The PC is 21 bits
wide. The low byte is called the PCL register; this register is readable and writable. The high byte is called
the PCH register. This register contains the PC<15:8>
bits and is not directly readable or writable; updates to
the PCH register may be performed through the
PCLATH register. The upper byte is called PCU. This
register contains the PC<20:16> bits and is not directly
readable or writable; updates to the PCU register may
be performed through the PCLATU register.
A low or high priority interrupt source will push values
into the stack registers. If both low and high priority
interrupts are enabled, the stack registers cannot be
used reliably for low priority interrupts. If a high priority
interrupt occurs while servicing a low priority interrupt,
the stack register values stored by the low priority
interrupt will be overwritten.
The PC addresses bytes in the program memory. To
prevent the PC from becoming misaligned with word
instructions, the LSB of the PCL is fixed to a value of
‘0’. The PC increments by 2 to address sequential
instructions in the program memory.
If high priority interrupts are not disabled during low priority interrupts, users must save the key registers in
software during a low priority interrupt.
The CALL, RCALL, GOTO and program branch
instructions write to the program counter directly. For
these instructions, the contents of PCLATH and
PCLATU are not transferred to the program counter.
If no interrupts are used, the fast register stack can be
used to restore the STATUS, WREG and BSR registers
at the end of a subroutine call. To use the fast register
stack for a subroutine call, a FAST CALL instruction
must be executed.
Example 4-1 shows a source code example that uses
the fast register stack.
The contents of PCLATH and PCLATU will be transferred to the program counter by an operation that
writes PCL. Similarly, the upper two bytes of the program counter will be transferred to PCLATH and
PCLATU by an operation that reads PCL. This is useful
for computed offsets to the PC (see Section 4.8.1).

Instruction Flow/Pipelining
A fetch cycle begins with the program counter (PC)
incrementing in Q1.
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 program counter to change (e.g., GOTO),
then two cycles are required to complete the instruction
(Example 4-2).
EXAMPLE 4-2:

2. MOVWF PORTB
TCY2

TCY5
Execute 2
Fetch 3
3. BRA SUB_1
4. BSF
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).
Execute 3
Fetch 4
PORTA, BIT3 (Forced NOP)
Flush (NOP)
Fetch SUB_1 Execute SUB_1
5. Instruction @ address SUB_1
All instructions are single cycle except for any program branches. These take two cycles since the fetch instruction
is “flushed” from the pipeline, while the new instruction is being fetched and then executed.
4.7
Instructions in Program Memory
The program memory is addressed in bytes. Instructions are stored as two bytes or four bytes in program
memory. The Least Significant Byte of an instruction
word is always stored in a program memory location
with an even address (LSB = 0). Figure 4-6 shows an
example of how instruction words are stored in the program memory. To maintain alignment with instruction
boundaries, the PC increments in steps of 2 and the
LSB will always read ‘0’ (see Section 4.4).
word boundaries, the data contained in the instruction
is a word address. The word address is written to
PC<20:1> which accesses the desired byte address in
program memory. Instruction #2 in Figure 4-6 shows
how the instruction “GOTO 000006h” is encoded in the
program memory. Program branch instructions, which
encode a relative address offset, operate in the same
manner. The offset value stored in a branch instruction
represents the number of single word instructions that
the PC will be offset by. Section 25.0 provides further
details of the instruction set.
The CALL and GOTO instructions have an absolute
program memory address embedded into the
instruction. Since instructions are always stored on

TWO-WORD INSTRUCTIONS
The PIC18F6X2X/8X2X devices have four two-word
instructions: MOVFF, CALL, GOTO and LFSR. The
second word of these instructions has the 4 MSBs set
to ‘1’s and is a special kind of NOP instruction. The
lower 12 bits of the second word contain data to be
used by the instruction. If the first word of the instruction is executed, the data in the second word is

a NOP. This action is necessary when the two-word
instruction is preceded by a conditional instruction that
changes the PC. A program example that demonstrates this concept is shown in Example 4-3. Refer to
Section 25.0 for further details of the instruction set.

Lookup tables are implemented two ways. These are:

COMPUTED GOTO
A computed GOTO is accomplished by adding an offset
to the program counter (ADDWF PCL).
A lookup table can be formed with an ADDWF PCL
instruction and a group of RETLW 0xnn instructions.
WREG is loaded with an offset into the table before
executing a call to that table. The first instruction of the
called routine is the ADDWF PCL instruction. The next
instruction executed will be one of the RETLW 0xnn
instructions that returns the value 0xnn to the calling
function.
TABLE READS/TABLE WRITES
A better method of storing data in program memory
allows 2 bytes of data to be stored in each instruction
location.
Lookup table data may be stored 2 bytes per program
word by using table reads and writes. The table pointer
(TBLPTR) specifies the byte address and the table
latch (TABLAT) contains the data that is read from, or
written to program memory. Data is transferred to/from
program memory, one byte at a time.
A description of the table read/table write operation is
shown in Section 5.0.
The offset value (value in WREG) specifies the number
of bytes that the program counter should advance.
In this method, only one data byte may be stored in
each instruction location and room on the return
address stack is required.

Data Memory Organization
The data memory is implemented as static RAM. Each
register in the data memory has a 12-bit address,
allowing up to 4096 bytes of data memory. Figure 4-7
shows the data memory organization for the
PIC18F6X2X/8X2X devices.
The data memory map is divided into 16 banks that
contain 256 bytes each. The lower 4 bits of the Bank
Select Register (BSR<3:0>) select which bank will be
accessed. The upper 4 bits for the BSR are not
implemented.
The data memory contains Special Function Registers
(SFR) and General Purpose Registers (GPR). The
SFRs are used for control and status of the controller
and peripheral functions, while GPRs are used for data
storage and scratch pad operations in the user’s application. The SFRs start at the last location of Bank 15
(0FFFh) and extend downwards. Any remaining space
beyond the SFRs in the bank may be implemented as
GPRs. GPRs start at the first location of Bank 0 and
grow upwards. Any read of an unimplemented location
will read as ‘0’s.
The entire data memory may be accessed directly or
indirectly. Direct addressing may require the use of the
BSR register. Indirect addressing requires the use of a
File Select Register (FSRn) and a corresponding Indirect File Operand (INDFn). Each FSR holds a 12-bit
address value that can be used to access any location
in the data memory map without banking.
The instruction set and architecture allow operations
across all banks. This may be accomplished by indirect
addressing or by the use of the MOVFF instruction. The
MOVFF instruction is a two-word/two-cycle instruction
that moves a value from one register to another.
4.9.1
GENERAL PURPOSE REGISTER
FILE
The register file can be accessed either directly or indirectly. Indirect addressing operates using a File Select
Register and corresponding Indirect File Operand. The
operation of indirect addressing is shown in
Section 4.12.
Enhanced MCU devices may have banked memory in
the GPR area. GPRs are not initialized by a Power-on
Reset and are unchanged on all other RESETS.
Data RAM is available for use as general purpose registers by all instructions. The top section of Bank 15
(F60h to FFFh) contains SFRs. All other banks of data
memory contain GPRs, starting with Bank 0.
4.9.2
SPECIAL FUNCTION REGISTERS
The Special Function Registers (SFRs) are registers
used by the CPU and peripheral modules for controlling
the desired operation of the device. These registers are
implemented as static RAM. A list of these registers is
given in Table 4-2 and Table 4-3.
The SFRs can be classified into two sets: those associated with the “core” function and those related to the
peripheral functions. Those registers related to the
“core” are described in this section, while those related
to the operation of the peripheral features are
described in the section of that peripheral feature. The
SFRs are typically distributed among the peripherals
whose functions they control.
The unused SFR locations are unimplemented and
read as ‘0’s. The addresses for the SFRs are listed in
Table 4-2.
To ensure that commonly used registers (SFRs and
select GPRs) can be accessed in a single cycle
regardless of the current BSR values, an Access Bank
is implemented. A segment of Bank 0 and a segment of
Bank 15 comprise the Access RAM. Section 4.10
provides a detailed description of the Access RAM.

Access Bank
4.11
The Access Bank is an architectural enhancement,
which is very useful for C compiler code optimization.
The techniques used by the C compiler may also be
useful for programs written in assembly.
The need for a large general purpose memory space
dictates a RAM banking scheme. The data memory is
partitioned into sixteen banks. When using direct
addressing, the BSR should be configured for the
desired bank.
This data memory region can be used for:
•
•
•
•
•
BSR<3:0> holds the upper 4 bits of the 12-bit RAM
address. The BSR<7:4> bits will always read ‘0’s, and
writes will have no effect.
Intermediate computational values
Local variables of subroutines
Faster context saving/switching of variables
Common variables
Faster evaluation/control of SFRs (no banking)
A MOVLB instruction has been provided in the
instruction set to assist in selecting banks.
If the currently selected bank is not implemented, any
read will return all ‘0’s and all writes are ignored. The
STATUS register bits will be set/cleared as appropriate
for the instruction performed.
The Access Bank is comprised of the upper 160 bytes
in Bank 15 (SFRs) and the lower 96 bytes in Bank 0.
These two sections will be referred to as Access RAM
High and Access RAM Low, respectively. Figure 4-7
indicates the Access RAM areas.
Each Bank extends up to FFh (256 bytes). All data
memory is implemented as static RAM.
A bit in the instruction word specifies if the operation is
to occur in the bank specified by the BSR register or in
the Access Bank. This bit is denoted by the ‘a’ bit (for
access bit).
A MOVFF instruction ignores the BSR since the 12-bit
addresses are embedded into the instruction word.
Section 4.12 provides a description of indirect addressing which allows linear addressing of the entire RAM
space.
When forced in the Access Bank (a = 0), the last
address in Access RAM Low is followed by the first
address in Access RAM High. Access RAM High maps
the Special Function Registers so that these registers
can be accessed without any software overhead. This is
useful for testing status flags and modifying control bits.

Indirect Addressing, INDF and
FSR Registers
Indirect addressing is a mode of addressing data memory, where the data memory address in the instruction
is not fixed. An FSR register is used as a pointer to the
data memory location that is to be read or written. Since
this pointer is in RAM, the contents can be modified by
the program. This can be useful for data tables in the
data memory and for software stacks. Figure 4-9
shows the operation of indirect addressing. This shows
the moving of the value to the data memory address
specified by the value of the FSR register.
Indirect addressing is possible by using one of the INDF
registers. Any instruction using the INDF register actually accesses the register pointed to by the File Select
Register, FSR. Reading the INDF register itself indirectly
(FSR = 0), will read 00h. Writing to the INDF register
indirectly, results in a no operation. The FSR register
contains a 12-bit address which is shown in Figure 4-10.
The INDFn register is not a physical register. Addressing INDFn actually addresses the register whose
address is contained in the FSRn register (FSRn is a
pointer). This is indirect addressing.
Example 4-4 shows a simple use of indirect addressing
to clear the RAM in Bank 1 (locations 100h-1FFh) in a
minimum number of instructions.

CLRF
There are three indirect addressing registers. To
address the entire data memory space (4096 bytes),
these registers are 12 bits wide. To store the 12 bits of
addressing information, two 8-bit registers are
required. These indirect addressing registers are:
1.
2.
3.
FSR0: composed of FSR0H:FSR0L
FSR1: composed of FSR1H:FSR1L
FSR2: composed of FSR2H:FSR2L
In addition, there are registers INDF0, INDF1 and
INDF2, which are not physically implemented. Reading
or writing to these registers activates indirect addressing, with the value in the corresponding FSR register
being the address of the data. If an instruction writes a
value to INDF0, the value will be written to the address
pointed to by FSR0H:FSR0L. A read from INDF1 reads
the data from the address pointed to by
FSR1H:FSR1L. INDFn can be used in code anywhere
an operand can be used.
DS39612A-page 58
If INDF0, INDF1, or INDF2 are read indirectly via an
FSR, all ‘0’s are read (zero bit is set). Similarly, if
INDF0, INDF1, or INDF2 are written to indirectly, the
operation will be equivalent to a NOP instruction and the
STATUS bits are not affected.
4.12.1
INDIRECT ADDRESSING
OPERATION
Each FSR register has an INDF register associated
with it, plus four additional register addresses. Performing an operation on one of these five registers determines how the FSR will be modified during indirect
addressing.
When data access is done to one of the five INDFn
locations, the address selected will configure the FSRn
register to:
• Do nothing to FSRn after an indirect access (no
change) - INDFn.
• Auto-decrement FSRn after an indirect access
(post-decrement) - POSTDECn.
• Auto-increment FSRn after an indirect access
(post-increment) - POSTINCn.
• Auto-increment FSRn before an indirect access
(pre-increment) - PREINCn.
• Use the value in the WREG register as an offset
to FSRn. Do not modify the value of the WREG or
the FSRn register after an indirect access (no
change) - PLUSWn.
When using the auto-increment or auto-decrement features, the effect on the FSR is not reflected in the
STATUS register. For example, if the indirect address
causes the FSR to equal ‘0’, the Z bit will not be set.
Incrementing or decrementing an FSR affects all 12
bits. That is, when FSRnL overflows from an increment,
FSRnH will be incremented automatically.
Adding these features allows the FSRn to be used as a
stack pointer in addition to its uses for table operations
in data memory.
Each FSR has an address associated with it that performs an indexed indirect access. When a data access
to this INDFn location (PLUSWn) occurs, the FSRn is
configured to add the signed value in the WREG register and the value in FSR to form the address before an
indirect access. The FSR value is not changed.
If an FSR register contains a value that points to one of
the INDFn, an indirect read will read 00h (zero bit is
set), while an indirect write will be equivalent to a NOP
(STATUS bits are not affected).
If an indirect addressing operation is done where the
target address is an FSRnH or FSRnL register,
the write operation will dominate over the pre- or
post-increment/decrement functions.

STATUS Register
The STATUS register, shown in Register 4-3, contains
the arithmetic status of the ALU. 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, C, OV, or N bits,
then the write to these five bits is disabled. These bits
are set or cleared according to the device logic.
Therefore, the result of an instruction with the STATUS
register as destination may be different than intended.
REGISTER 4-3:
For example, CLRF STATUS will clear the upper three
bits and set the Z bit. This leaves the STATUS register
as 000u u1uu (where u = unchanged).
It is recommended, therefore, that only BCF, BSF,
SWAPF, MOVFF and MOVWF instructions are used to
alter the STATUS register because these instructions
do not affect the Z, C, DC, OV, or N bits from the
STATUS register. For other instructions not affecting
any STATUS bits, see Table 25-2.
Note:
The C and DC bits operate as a borrow
and digit borrow bit respectively, in
subtraction.

FLASH PROGRAM MEMORY
5.1
Table Reads and Table Writes
The FLASH program memory is readable, writable, and
erasable, during normal operation over the entire VDD
range.
In order to read and write program memory, there are
two operations that allow the processor to move bytes
between the program memory space and the data RAM:
A read from program memory is executed on one byte
at a time. A write to program memory is executed on
blocks of 8 bytes at a time. Program memory is erased
in blocks of 64 bytes at a time. A bulk erase operation
may not be issued from user code.
• Table Read (TBLRD)
• Table Write (TBLWT)
Writing or erasing program memory will cease instruction fetches until the operation is complete. The program memory cannot be accessed during the write or
erase, therefore, code cannot execute. An internal
programming timer terminates program memory writes
and erases.
A value written to program memory does not need to be
a valid instruction. Executing a program memory
location that forms an invalid instruction results in a
NOP.
The program memory space is 16 bits wide, while the
data RAM space is 8 bits wide. Table reads and table
writes move data between these two memory spaces
through an 8-bit register (TABLAT).
Table read operations retrieve data from program
memory and places it into the data RAM space.
Figure 5-1 shows the operation of a table read with
program memory and data RAM.
Table write operations store data from the data memory
space into holding registers in program memory. The
procedure to write the contents of the holding registers
into program memory is detailed in Section 5.5, “Writing
to FLASH Program Memory”. Figure 5-2 shows the
operation of a table write with program memory and data
RAM.
Table operations work with byte entities. A table block
containing data, rather than program instructions, is not
required to be word aligned. Therefore, a table block can
start and end at any byte address. If a table write is being
used to write executable code into program memory,
program instructions will need to be word aligned.

5.2
Control Registers
Several control registers are used in conjunction with
the TBLRD and TBLWT instructions. These include the:
•
•
•
•
EECON1 register
EECON2 register
TABLAT register
TBLPTR registers
5.2.1
EECON1 AND EECON2 REGISTERS
EECON1 is the control register for memory accesses.
EECON2 is not a physical register. Reading EECON2
will read all ‘0’s. The EECON2 register is used
exclusively in the memory write and erase sequences.
Control bit EEPGD determines if the access will be a
program or data EEPROM memory access. When
clear, any subsequent operations will operate on the
data EEPROM memory. When set, any subsequent
operations will operate on the program memory.
The FREE bit, when set, will allow a program memory
erase operation. When the FREE bit is set, the erase
operation is initiated on the next WR command. When
FREE is clear, only writes are enabled.
The WREN bit, when set, will allow a write operation.
On power-up, the WREN bit is clear. The WRERR bit is
set when a write operation is interrupted by a MCLR
Reset or a WDT Time-out Reset during normal operation. In these situations, the user can check the
WRERR bit and rewrite the location. It is necessary to
reload the data and address registers (EEDATA and
EEADR) due to RESET values of zero.
The WR control bit initiates write operations. The bit
cannot be cleared, only set, in software; it is cleared in
hardware at the completion of the write operation. The
inability to clear the WR bit in software prevents the
accidental or premature termination of a write
operation.
Note:
Control bit CFGS determines if the access will be to the
configuration/calibration registers or to program
memory/data EEPROM memory. When set,
subsequent operations will operate on configuration
registers regardless of EEPGD (see Section 24.0,
“Special Features of the CPU”). When clear, memory
selection access is determined by EEPGD.

TABLAT - TABLE LATCH REGISTER
5.2.4
The Table Latch (TABLAT) is an 8-bit register mapped
into the SFR space. The Table Latch register is used to
hold 8-bit data during data transfers between program
memory and data RAM.
5.2.3
TBLPTR is used in reads, writes, and erases of the
FLASH program memory.
When a TBLRD is executed, all 22 bits of the TBLPTR
determine which byte is read from program memory
into TABLAT.
TBLPTR - TABLE POINTER
REGISTER
When a TBLWT is executed, the three LSbs of the Table
Pointer register (TBLPTR<2:0>) determine which of the
eight program memory holding registers is written to.
When the timed write to program memory (long write)
begins, the 19 MSbs of the TBLPTR (TBLPTR<21:3>)
will determine which program memory block of 8 bytes
is written to. For more detail, see Section 5.5, “Writing
to FLASH Program Memory”.
The Table Pointer register (TBLPTR) addresses a byte
within the program memory. The TBLPTR is comprised
of three SFR registers: Table Pointer Upper Byte, Table
Pointer High Byte and Table Pointer Low Byte
(TBLPTRU:TBLPTRH:TBLPTRL). These three registers join to form a 22-bit wide pointer. The low order
21 bits allow the device to address up to 2 Mbytes of
program memory space. The 22nd bit allows access to
the device ID, the user ID and the configuration bits.
When an erase of program memory is executed, the
16 MSbs of the Table Pointer register (TBLPTR<21:6>)
point to the 64-byte block that will be erased. The Least
Significant bits (TBLPTR<5:0>) are ignored.
The table pointer, TBLPTR, is used by the TBLRD and
TBLWT instructions. These instructions can update the
TBLPTR in one of four ways based on the table operation. These operations are shown in Table 5-1. These
operations on the TBLPTR only affect the low order
21 bits.

Reading the FLASH Program
Memory
The TBLRD instruction is used to retrieve data from program memory and places it into data RAM. Table reads
from program memory are performed one byte at a
time.
FIGURE 5-4:
TBLPTR points to a byte address in program space.
Executing TBLRD places the byte pointed to into
TABLAT. In addition, TBLPTR can be modified
automatically for the next table read operation.
The internal program memory is typically organized by
words. The Least Significant bit of the address selects
between the high and low bytes of the word. Figure 5-4
shows the interface between the internal program
memory and the TABLAT.

Erasing FLASH Program Memory
The minimum erase block is 32 words or 64 bytes. Only
through the use of an external programmer, or through
ICSP control, can larger blocks of program memory be
bulk erased. Word erase in the FLASH array is not
supported.
The sequence of events for erasing a block of internal
program memory location is:
1.
When initiating an erase sequence from the microcontroller itself, a block of 64 bytes of program memory
is erased. The Most Significant 16 bits of the
TBLPTR<21:6> point to the block being erased.
TBLPTR<5:0> are ignored.
2.
The EECON1 register commands the erase operation.
The EEPGD bit must be set to point to the FLASH program memory. The WREN bit must be set to enable
write operations. The FREE bit is set to select an erase
operation.
3.
4.
5.
6.
For protection, the write initiate sequence for EECON2
must be used.
7.
A long write is necessary for erasing the internal
FLASH. Instruction execution is halted while in a long
write cycle. The long write will be terminated by the
internal programming timer.

the holding registers are written. At the end of updating
8 registers, the EECON1 register must be written to, to
start the programming operation with a long write.
The minimum programming block is 4 words or 8 bytes.
Word or byte programming is not supported.
Table writes are used internally to load the holding
registers needed to program the FLASH memory.
There are 8 holding registers used by the Table Writes
for programming.
Since the Table Latch (TABLAT) is only a single byte,
the TBLWT instruction has to be executed 8 times for
each programming operation. All of the table write
operations will essentially be short writes because only

EXTERNAL MEMORY
INTERFACE
6.1
Note: The external memory interface is not
implemented on PIC18F6X2X (64-pin) devices.
The external memory interface is a feature of the
PIC18F8X2X devices that allows the controller to
access external memory devices (such as FLASH,
EPROM, SRAM, etc.) as program or data memory.
The physical implementation of the interface uses 27
pins. These pins are reserved for external address/data
bus functions; they are multiplexed with I/O port pins on
four ports. Three I/O ports are multiplexed with the
address/data bus, while the fourth port is multiplexed
with the bus control signals. The I/O port functions are
enabled when the EBDIS bit in the MEMCON register
is set (see Register 6-1). A list of the multiplexed pins
and their functions is provided in Table 6-1.
As implemented in the PIC18F8X2X devices, the interface operates in a similar manner to the external
memory interface introduced on PIC18C601/801
microcontrollers. The most notable difference is that
the interface on PIC18F8X2X devices only operates in
16-bit modes. The 8-bit mode is not supported.
For a more complete discussion of the operating
modes that use the external memory interface, refer to
Section 4.1.1, “PIC18F6X2X/8X2X Program Memory
Modes”.
REGISTER 6-1:
Program Memory Modes and the
External Memory Interface
As previously noted, PIC18F8X2X controllers are
capable of operating in any one of four Program Memory modes using combinations of on-chip and external
program memory. The functions of the multiplexed port
pins depends on the Program Memory mode selected,
as well as the setting of the EBDIS bit.
In Microprocessor Mode, the external bus is always
active and the port pins have only the external bus
function.
In Microcontroller Mode, the bus is not active and
the pins have their port functions only. Writes to the
MEMCOM register are not permitted.
In Microprocessor with Boot Block or Extended
Microcontroller Mode, the external program memory
bus shares I/O port functions on the pins. When the
device is fetching or doing table read/table write operations on the external program memory space, the
pins will have the external bus function. If the device is
fetching and accessing internal program memory locations only, the EBDIS control bit will change the pins
from external memory to I/O port functions. When
EBDIS = 0, the pins function as the external bus.
When EBDIS = 1, the pins function as I/O ports.

If the device fetches or accesses external memory
while EBDIS = 1, the pins will switch to external bus. If
the EBDIS bit is set by a program executing from

16-bit Mode
The external memory interface implemented in
PIC18F8X2X devices operates only in 16-bit mode.
The mode selection is not software configurable but is
programmed via the configuration bits.
The WM1:WM0 bits in the MEMCON register determine three types of connections in 16-bit mode. They
are referred to as:
• 16-bit Byte Write
• 16-bit Word Write
• 16-bit Byte Select
These three different configurations allow the designer
maximum flexibility in using 8-bit and 16-bit memory
devices.
For all 16-bit modes, the Address Latch Enable (ALE)
pin indicates that the address bits A15:A0 are available
on the external memory interface bus. Following the
address latch, the Output Enable signal (OE) will
enable both bytes of program memory at once to form
a 16-bit instruction word. The Chip Enable signal (CE)
is active at any time that the microcontroller accesses
external memory, whether reading or writing; it is inactive (asserted high) whenever the device is in SLEEP
mode.
FIGURE 6-1:
In Byte Select mode, JEDEC standard FLASH memories will require BA0 for the byte address line and one
I/O line, to select between Byte and Word mode. The
other 16-bit modes do not need BA0. JEDEC standard
static RAM memories will use the UB or LB signals for
byte selection.
6.2.1
16-BIT BYTE WRITE MODE
Figure 6-1 shows an example of 16-bit Byte Write
mode for PIC18F8X2X devices. This mode is used for
two separate 8-bit memories connected for 16-bit operation. This generally includes basic EPROM and
FLASH devices. It allows table writes to byte-wide
external memories.
During a TBLWT instruction cycle, the TABLAT data is
presented on the upper and lower bytes of the
AD15:AD0 bus. The appropriate WRH or WRL control
line is strobed on the LSb of the TBLPTR.

16-BIT WORD WRITE MODE
Figure 6-2 shows an example of 16-bit Word Write
mode for PIC18F8X2X devices. This mode is used for
word-wide memories which includes some of the
EPROM and FLASH type memories. This mode allows
opcode fetches and table reads from all forms of 16-bit
memory, and table writes to any type of word-wide
external memories. This method makes a distinction
between TBLWT cycles to even or odd addresses.
During a TBLWT cycle to an even address
(TBLPTR<0> = 0), the TABLAT data is transferred to a
holding latch and the external address data bus is tristated for the data portion of the bus cycle. No write
signals are activated.
FIGURE 6-2:
During a TBLWT cycle to an odd address
(TBLPTR<0> = 1), the TABLAT data is presented on
the upper byte of the AD15:AD0 bus. The contents of
the holding latch are presented on the lower byte of the
AD15:AD0 bus.
The WRH signal is strobed for each write cycle; the
WRL pin is unused. The signal on the BA0 pin indicates
the LSbit of the TBLPTR but it is left unconnected.
Instead, the UB and LB signals are active to select both
bytes. The obvious limitation to this method is that the
table write must be done in pairs on a specific word
boundary to correctly write a word location.

16-BIT BYTE SELECT MODE
Figure 6-3 shows an example of 16-bit Byte Select
mode for PIC18F8X2X devices. This mode allows table
write operations to word-wide external memories with
byte selection capability. This generally includes both
word-wide FLASH and SRAM devices.
During a TBLWT cycle, the TABLAT data is presented
on the upper and lower byte of the AD15:AD0 bus. The
WRH signal is strobed for each write cycle; the WRL
pin is not used. The BA0 or UB/LB signals are used to
select the byte to be written based on the Least
Significant bit of the TBLPTR register.
FIGURE 6-3:
FLASH and SRAM devices use different control signal
combinations to implement Byte Select mode. JEDEC
standard FLASH memories require that a controller I/O
port pin be connected to the memory’s BYTE/WORD
pin to provide the select signal. They also use the BA0
signal from the controller as a byte address. JEDEC
standard static RAM memories, on the other hand, use
the UB or LB signals to select the byte.

DATA EEPROM MEMORY
The data EEPROM is readable and writable during normal operation over the entire VDD range. The data
memory is not directly mapped in the register file
space. Instead, it is indirectly addressed through the
Special Function Registers (SFR).
There are five SFRs used to read and write the
program and data EEPROM memory. These registers
are:
•
•
•
•
•
7.1
EEADR and EEADRH
The address register pair can address up to a maximum of 1024 bytes of data EEPROM. The two MSbits
of the address are stored in EEADRH, while the
remaining eight LSbits are stored in EEADR. The six
Most Significant bits of EEADRH are unused and are
read as ‘0’.
7.2
EECON1 and EECON2 Registers
EECON1 is the control register for EEPROM memory
accesses.
EECON1
EECON2
EEDATA
EEADRH
EEADR
EECON2 is not a physical register. Reading EECON2
will read all ‘0’s. The EECON2 register is used
exclusively in the EEPROM write sequence.
The EEPROM data memory allows byte read and write.
When interfacing to the data memory block, EEDATA
holds the 8-bit data for read/write. EEADR and
EEADRH hold the address of the EEPROM location
being accessed. These devices have 1024 bytes of
data EEPROM with an address range from 00h to
3FFh.
The EEPROM data memory is rated for high erase/
write cycles. A byte write automatically erases the location and writes the new data (erase-before-write). The
write time is controlled by an on-chip timer. The write
time will vary with voltage and temperature, as well as
from chip to chip. Please refer to parameter D122
(Section 27.0, “Electrical Characteristics”) for exact
limits.
Control bits RD and WR initiate read and write operations, respectively. These bits cannot be cleared, 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
or premature termination of a write operation.
The WREN bit, when set, will allow a write operation.
On power-up, the WREN bit is clear. The WRERR bit is
set when a write operation is interrupted by a MCLR
Reset or a WDT Time-out Reset during normal
operation. In these situations, the user can check the
WRERR bit and rewrite the location. It is necessary to
reload the data and address registers (EEDATA and
EEADR) due to the RESET condition forcing the
contents of the registers to zero.

Writing to the Data EEPROM
Memory
should be kept clear at all times except when updating
the EEPROM. The WREN bit is not cleared
by hardware
To write an EEPROM data location, the address must
first be written to the EEADRH:EEADR register pair
and the data written to the EEDATA register. Then the
sequence in Example 7-2 must be followed to initiate
the write cycle.
The write will not initiate if the above sequence is not
exactly followed (write 55h to EECON2, write AAh to
EECON2, then set WR bit) for each byte. It is strongly
recommended that interrupts be disabled during this
code segment.
Additionally, the WREN bit in EECON1 must be set to
enable writes. This mechanism prevents accidental
writes to data EEPROM due to unexpected code
execution (i.e., runaway programs). The WREN bit
EXAMPLE 7-2:
Required
Sequence
control bit (EECON1<6>), and then set the RD control
bit (EECON1<0>). The data is available for the very
next instruction cycle; therefore, the EEDATA register
can be read by the next instruction. EEDATA will hold
this value until another read operation or until it is
written to by the user (during a write operation).
After a write sequence has been initiated, EECON1,
EEADRH, EEADR and EEDATA cannot be modified.
The WR bit will be inhibited from being set unless the
WREN bit is set. The WREN bit must be set on a previous instruction. Both WR and WREN cannot be set
with the same instruction.
At the completion of the write cycle, the WR bit is
cleared in hardware and the EEPROM Write Complete
Interrupt Flag bit (EEIF) is set. The user may either
enable this interrupt or poll this bit. EEIF must be
cleared by software.

Write Verify
7.8
Depending on the application, good programming
practice may dictate that the value written to the memory should be verified against the original value. This
should be used in applications where excessive writes
can stress bits near the specification limit.
7.6
Protection Against Spurious Write
There are conditions when the device may not want to
write to the data EEPROM memory. To protect against
spurious EEPROM writes, various mechanisms have
been built-in. On power-up, the WREN bit is cleared.
Also, the Power-up Timer (72 ms duration) prevents
EEPROM write.
Using the Data EEPROM
The data EEPROM is a high endurance, byte addressable array that has been optimized for the storage of
frequently changing information (e.g., program variables or other data that are updated often). Frequently
changing values will typically be updated more often
than specification D124. If this is not the case, an array
refresh must be performed. For this reason, variables
that change infrequently (such as constants, IDs, calibration, etc.) should be stored in FLASH program
memory.
A simple data EEPROM refresh routine is shown in
Example 7-3.
Note:
The write initiate sequence and the WREN bit together
help prevent an accidental write during brown-out,
power glitch, or software malfunction.
7.7
If data EEPROM is only used to store constants and/or data that changes rarely, an
array refresh is likely not required. See
specification D124.
Operation During Code Protect
Data EEPROM memory has its own code protect
mechanism. External read and write operations are
disabled if either of these mechanisms are enabled.
The microcontroller itself can both read and write to the
internal data EEPROM regardless of the state of the
code protect configuration bit. Refer to Section 24.0,
“Special Features of the CPU” for additional
information.

8 X 8 HARDWARE MULTIPLIER
8.1
Introduction
8.2
Example 8-1 shows the sequence to do an 8 x 8
unsigned multiply. Only one instruction is required
when one argument of the multiply is already loaded in
the WREG register.
An 8 x 8 hardware multiplier is included in the ALU of
the PIC18F6X2X/8X2X devices. By making the multiply a hardware operation, it completes in a single
instruction cycle. This is an unsigned multiply that gives
a 16-bit result. The result is stored in the 16-bit product
register pair (PRODH:PRODL). The multiplier does not
affect any flags in the ALUSTA register.
Example 8-2 shows the sequence to do an 8 x 8 signed
multiply. To account for the sign bits of the arguments,
each argument’s Most Significant bit (MSb) is tested
and the appropriate subtractions are done.
EXAMPLE 8-1:
Making the 8 x 8 multiplier execute in a single cycle
gives the following advantages:
MOVF
MULWF
• Higher computational throughput
• Reduces code size requirements for multiply
algorithms
The performance increase allows the device to be used
in applications previously reserved for Digital Signal
Processors.

INTERRUPTS
The PIC18F6X2X/8X2X devices have multiple interrupt
sources and an interrupt priority feature that allows
each interrupt source to be assigned a high or a low priority level. The high priority interrupt vector is at
000008h, while the low priority interrupt vector is at
000018h. High priority interrupt events will override any
low priority interrupts that may be in progress.
There are thirteen registers which are used to control
interrupt operation. They are:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
RCON
INTCON
INTCON2
INTCON3
PIR1, PIR2, PIR3
PIE1, PIE2, PIE3
IPR1, IPR2, IPR3
It is recommended that the Microchip header files supplied with MPLAB® IDE be used for the symbolic bit
names in these registers. This allows the assembler/
compiler to automatically take care of the placement of
these bits within the specified register.
Each interrupt source has three bits to control its
operation. The functions of these bits are:
• Flag bit to indicate that an interrupt event
occurred
• Enable bit that allows program execution to
branch to the interrupt vector address when the
flag bit is set
• Priority bit to select high priority or low priority
When the IPEN bit is cleared (default state), the interrupt priority feature is disabled and interrupts are
compatible with PICmicro® mid-range devices. In Compatibility mode, the interrupt priority bits for each source
have no effect. INTCON<6> is the PEIE bit which
enables/disables all peripheral interrupt sources.
INTCON<7> is the GIE bit which enables/disables all
interrupt sources. All interrupts branch to address
000008h in Compatibility mode.
When an interrupt is responded to, the global interrupt
enable bit is cleared to disable further interrupts. If the
IPEN bit is cleared, this is the GIE bit. If interrupt priority
levels are used, this will be either the GIEH or GIEL bit.
High priority interrupt sources can interrupt a low
priority interrupt.
The return address is pushed onto the stack and the
PC is loaded with the interrupt vector address
(000008h or 000018h). Once in the Interrupt Service
Routine, the source(s) of the interrupt can be determined by polling the interrupt flag bits. The interrupt
flag bits must be cleared in software before re-enabling
interrupts to avoid recursive interrupts.
The “return from interrupt” instruction, RETFIE, exits
the interrupt routine and sets the GIE bit (GIEH or GIEL
if priority levels are used) which re-enables interrupts.
For external interrupt events, such as the INT pins or
the PORTB input change interrupt, the interrupt latency
will be three to four instruction cycles. The exact
latency is the same for one or two-cycle instructions.
Individual interrupt flag bits are set regardless of the
status of their corresponding enable bit or the GIE bit.
The interrupt priority feature is enabled by setting the
IPEN bit (RCON<7>). When interrupt priority is
enabled, there are two bits which enable interrupts globally. Setting the GIEH bit (INTCON<7>) enables all
interrupts that have the priority bit set. Setting the GIEL
bit (INTCON<6>) enables all interrupts that have the
priority bit cleared. When the interrupt flag, enable bit
and appropriate global interrupt enable bit are set, the
interrupt will vector immediately to address 000008h or
000018h, depending on the priority level. Individual
interrupts can be disabled through their corresponding
enable bits.

INT0 Interrupt
9.8
External interrupts on the RB0/INT0, RB1/INT1,
RB2/INT2 and RB3/INT3 pins are edge-triggered:
either rising, if the corresponding INTEDGx bit is set in
the INTCON2 register or falling, if the INTEDGx bit is
clear. When a valid edge appears on the RBx/INTx pin,
the corresponding flag bit, INTxF, is set. This interrupt
can be disabled by clearing the corresponding enable
bit, INTxE. Flag bit, INTxF, must be cleared in software
in the Interrupt Service Routine before re-enabling the
interrupt. All external interrupts (INT0, INT1, INT2 and
INT3) can wake-up the processor from SLEEP if bit
INTxIE was set prior to going into SLEEP. If the global
interrupt enable bit GIE is set, the processor will branch
to the interrupt vector following wake-up.
The interrupt priority for INT1, INT2 and INT3 is
determined by the value contained in the interrupt
priority bits: INT1IP (INTCON3<6>), INT2IP
(INTCON3<7>) and INT3IP (INTCON2<1>). There is
no priority bit associated with INT0; it is always a high
priority interrupt source.
9.7
PORTB Interrupt-on-Change
An input change on PORTB<7:4> sets flag bit RBIF
(INTCON<0>). The interrupt can be enabled/disabled
by setting/clearing enable bit, RBIE (INTCON<3>).
Interrupt priority for PORTB interrupt-on-change is
determined by the value contained in the interrupt
priority bit, RBIP (INTCON2<0>).
9.9
Context Saving During Interrupts
During an interrupt, the return PC value is saved on the
stack. Additionally, the WREG, STATUS and BSR
registers are saved on the fast return stack. If a fast
return from interrupt is not used (see Section 4.3), the
user may need to save the WREG, STATUS and BSR
registers in software. Depending on the user’s
application, other registers may also need to be saved.
Example 9-1 saves and restores the WREG, STATUS
and BSR registers during an Interrupt Service Routine.
TMR0 Interrupt
In 8-bit mode (which is the default), an overflow in the
TMR0 register (FFh → 00h) will set flag bit TMR0IF. In
16-bit mode, an overflow in the TMR0H:TMR0L
registers (FFFFh → 0000h) will set flag bit TMR0IF. The
interrupt can be enabled/disabled by setting/clearing
enable bit, TMR0IE (INTCON<5>). Interrupt priority for
Timer0 is determined by the value contained in the
interrupt priority bit, TMR0IP (INTCON2<2>). See
Section 11.0 for further details on the Timer0 module.

I/O PORTS
10.1
Depending on the device selected, there are either
seven
or
nine
I/O
ports
available
on
PIC18F6X2X/8X2X devices. Some of their pins are
multiplexed with one or more alternate functions from
the other peripheral features on the device. In general,
when a peripheral is enabled, that pin may not be used
as a general purpose I/O pin.
Each port has three registers for its operation. These
registers are:
• TRIS register (Data Direction register)
• PORT register (reads the levels on the pins of the
device)
• LAT register (Output Latch register)
The Data Latch (LAT) register is useful for
read-modify-write operations on the value that the I/O
pins are driving.
A simplified version of a generic I/O port and its
operation is shown in Figure 10-1.
FIGURE 10-1:
SIMPLIFIED BLOCK

PORT/LAT/TRIS
OPERATION

PORTA is a 7-bit wide, bi-directional port. The corresponding Data Direction register is TRISA. Setting a
TRISA bit (= 1) will make the corresponding PORTA pin
an input (i.e., put the corresponding output driver in a
high-impedance mode). Clearing a TRISA bit (= 0) will
make the corresponding PORTA pin an output (i.e., put
the contents of the output latch on the selected pin).
Reading the PORTA register reads the status of the
pins, whereas writing to it will write to the port latch.
The Data Latch register (LATA) is also memory
mapped. Read-modify-write operations on the LATA
register, read and write the latched output value for
PORTA.
The RA4 pin is multiplexed with the Timer0 module
clock input to become the RA4/T0CKI pin. The
RA4/T0CKI pin is a Schmitt Trigger input and an open
drain output. All other RA port pins have TTL input
levels and full CMOS output drivers.
The RA6 pin is only enabled as a general I/O pin in
ECIO and RCIO Oscillator modes.
The other PORTA pins are multiplexed with analog
inputs and the analog VREF+ and VREF- inputs. The
operation of each pin is selected by clearing/setting the
control bits in the ADCON1 register (A/D Control
Register 1).

PORTB, TRISB and LATB
Registers
A mismatch condition will continue to set flag bit, RBIF.
Reading PORTB will end the mismatch condition and
allow flag bit RBIF to be cleared.
PORTB is an 8-bit wide, bi-directional port. The corresponding Data Direction register is TRISB. 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.,
put the contents of the output latch on the selected pin).
The Data Latch register (LATB) is also memory
mapped. Read-modify-write operations on the LATB
register, read and write the latched output value for
PORTB.

The interrupt-on-change feature is recommended for
wake-up on key depression operation and operations
where PORTB is only used for the interrupt-on-change
feature. Polling of PORTB is not recommended while
using the interrupt-on-change feature.
For PIC18F8X2X devices, RB3 can be configured by
the configuration bit, CCP2MX, as the alternate
peripheral pin for the CCP2 module. This is only
available when the device is configured in
Microprocessor, Microprocessor with Boot Block, or
Extended Microcontroller operating modes.
The RB5 pin is used as the LVP programming pin.
When the LVP configuration bit is programmed, this pin
loses the I/O function and become a programming test
function.
Note:
When LVP is enabled, the weak pull-up on
RB5 is disabled.
FIGURE 10-5:
BLOCK DIAGRAM OF
RB7:RB4 PINS
VDD
RBPU(2)
Each of the PORTB pins has a weak internal pull-up. A
single control bit can turn on all the pull-ups. This is
performed by clearing bit RBPU (INTCON2<7>). The
weak pull-up is automatically turned off when the port
pin is configured as an output. The pull-ups are
disabled on a Power-on Reset.
Note:
On a Power-on Reset, these pins are
configured as digital inputs.
Four of the PORTB pins (RB3:RB0) are the external
interrupt pins, INT3 through INT0. In order to use these
pins as external interrupts, the corresponding TRISB
bit must be set to ‘1’.
The other four PORTB pins (RB7:RB4) have an
interrupt-on-change feature. Only pins configured as
inputs can cause this interrupt to occur (i.e., any
RB7:RB4 pin configured as an output is excluded from
the interrupt-on-change comparison). The input pins (of
RB7:RB4) are compared with the old value latched on
the last read of PORTB. The “mismatch” outputs of
RB7:RB4 are ORed together to generate the RB port
change interrupt with flag bit, RBIF (INTCON<0>).
This interrupt can wake the device from SLEEP. The
user, in the Interrupt Service Routine, can clear the
interrupt in the following manner:
a)
b)
Any read or write of PORTB (except with the

PORTC, TRISC and LATC
Registers
The pin override value is not loaded into the TRIS register. This allows read-modify-write of the TRIS register
without concern due to peripheral overrides.
PORTC is an 8-bit wide, bi-directional port. The corresponding Data Direction register is TRISC. 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.,
put the contents of the output latch on the selected pin).
RC1 is normally configured by configuration bit,
CCP2MX, as the default peripheral pin of the CCP2
module (default/erased state, CCP2MX = 1).
EXAMPLE 10-3:
The Data Latch register (LATC) is also memory
mapped. Read-modify-write operations on the LATC
register, read and write the latched output value for
PORTC.
PORTC is multiplexed with several peripheral functions
(Table 10-5). PORTC pins have Schmitt Trigger input
buffers.

When enabling peripheral functions, care should be
taken in defining TRIS bits for each PORTC pin. Some
peripherals override the TRIS bit to make a pin an
output, while other peripherals override the TRIS bit to
make a pin an input. The user should refer to the
corresponding peripheral section for the correct TRIS
bit settings.

PORTE, TRISE and LATE
Registers
PORTE is an 8-bit wide, bi-directional port. The corresponding Data Direction register is TRISE. Setting a
TRISE bit (= 1) will make the corresponding PORTE
pin an input (i.e., put the corresponding output driver in
a high-impedance mode). Clearing a TRISE bit (= 0)
will make the corresponding PORTE pin an output (i.e.,
put the contents of the output latch on the selected pin).
Read-modify-write operations on the LATE register,
read and write the latched output value for PORTE.
PORTE is an 8-bit port with Schmitt Trigger input buffers. Each pin is individually configurable as an input or
output. PORTE is multiplexed with the CCP module
(Table 10-9).
On PIC18F8X2X devices, PORTE is also multiplexed
with the system bus as the external memory interface;
the I/O bus is available only when the system bus is
disabled by setting the EBDIS bit in the MEMCON
register (MEMCON<7>). If the device is configured in
Microprocessor or Extended Microcontroller mode,
then the PORTE<7:0> becomes the high byte of the
address/data bus for the external program memory
interface. In Microcontroller mode, the PORTE<2:0>
pins become the control inputs for the parallel slave
port when bit PSPMODE (PSPCON<4>) is set. (Refer
to Section 4.1.1 for more information on Program
Memory modes.)
DS39612A-page 116
When the parallel slave port is active, three PORTE
pins (RE0/AD8/RD, RE1/AD9/WR, and RE2/AD10/CS)
function as its control inputs. This automatically occurs
when the PSPMODE bit (PSPCON<4>) is set. Users
must also make certain that bits TRISE<2:0> are set to
configure the pins as digital inputs, and the ADCON1
register is configured for digital I/O. The PORTE PSP
control functions are summarized in Table 10-9.
Pin RE7 can be configured as the alternate peripheral
pin for the CCP2 module when the device is operating
in Microcontroller mode. This is done by clearing the
configuration bit CCP2MX in the CONFIG3H
Configuration register (CONFIG3H<0>).
Note:
For PIC18F8X2X (80-pin) devices operating in Extended Microcontroller mode,
PORTE defaults to the system bus on
Power-on Reset.

PORTG, TRISG and LATG
Registers
The sixth pin of PORTG (MCLR/VPP/RG5) is a digital
input pin. Its operation is controlled by the MCLRE
configuration bit in Configuration Register 3H
(CONFIG3H<7>). In its default configuration
(MCLRE = 1), the pin functions as the device Master
Clear input. When selected as a port pin (MCLRE = 0),
it functions as an input only pin; as such, it does not
have TRISG or LATG bits associated with it.
PORTG is a 6-bit wide port with 5 bi-directional pins
(RG0:RG4) and one optional input only pin (RG5). The
corresponding Data Direction register is TRISG. Setting
a TRISG bit (= 1) will make the corresponding PORTG
pin an input (i.e., put the corresponding output driver in
a high-impedance mode). Clearing a TRISG bit (= 0)
will make the corresponding PORTC pin an output (i.e.,
put the contents of the output latch on the selected pin).
In either configuration, RG5 also functions as the
programming voltage input during device programming.
Note 1: On a Power-on Reset, RG5 is enabled as
a digital input only if Master Clear
functionality is disabled (MCLRE = 0).
The Data Latch register (LATG) is also memory
mapped. Read-modify-write operations on the LATG
register, read and write the latched output value for
PORTG.
2: If the device Master Clear is disabled,
verify that either of the following is done to
ensure proper entry into ICSP mode:
a.) disable low voltage programming
(CONFIG4L<2> = 0); or
b.) make certain that RB5/KBI1/PGM is
held low during entry into ICSP.
PORTG is multiplexed with both CCP and USART
functions (Table 10-13). PORTG pins have Schmitt
Trigger input buffers.
When enabling peripheral functions, care should be
taken in defining TRIS bits for each PORTG pin. Some
peripherals override the TRIS bit to make a pin an output, while other peripherals override the TRIS bit to
make a pin an input. The user should refer to the corresponding peripheral section for the correct TRIS bit
settings.
Note:
EXAMPLE 10-7:
On a Power-on Reset, these pins are
configured as digital inputs.
The pin override value is not loaded into the TRIS register. This allows read-modify-write operations of the
TRIS register without concern due to peripheral
overrides.

PORTJ, TRISJ and LATJ Registers
PORTJ BLOCK DIAGRAM
IN I/O MODE
PORTJ is available only on PIC18F8X2X
devices.
PORTJ is an 8-bit wide, bi-directional port. The corresponding Data Direction register is TRISJ. Setting a
TRISJ bit (= 1) will make the corresponding PORTJ pin
an input (i.e., put the corresponding output driver in a
high-impedance mode). Clearing a TRISJ bit (= 0) will
make the corresponding PORTJ pin an output (i.e., put
the contents of the output latch on the selected pin).
The Data Latch register (LATJ) is also memory
mapped. Read-modify-write operations on the LATJ
register, read and write the latched output value for
PORTJ.
PORTJ is multiplexed with the system bus as the external memory interface; I/O port functions are only available when the system bus is disabled. When operating
as the external memory interface, PORTJ provides the
control signal to external memory devices. The RJ5 pin
is not multiplexed with any system bus functions.
When enabling peripheral functions, care should be
taken in defining TRIS bits for each PORTJ pin. Some
peripherals override the TRIS bit to make a pin an output, while other peripherals override the TRIS bit to
make a pin an input. The user should refer to the corresponding peripheral section for the correct TRIS bit

10.10 Parallel Slave Port
PORTD also operates as an 8-bit wide parallel slave
port, or microprocessor port, when control bit
PSPMODE (PSPCON<4>) is set. It is asynchronously
readable and writable by the external world through RD
control input pin, RE0/RD and WR control input pin,
RE1/WR.
Note:
For PIC18F8X2X devices, the parallel
slave port is available only in
Microcontroller mode.
The PSP can directly interface to an 8-bit microprocessor data bus. The external microprocessor can
read or write the PORTD latch as an 8-bit latch. Setting
bit PSPMODE enables port pin RE0/RD to be the RD
input, RE1/WR to be the WR input and RE2/CS to be
the CS (chip select) input. For this functionality, the corresponding data direction bits of the TRISE register
(TRISE<2:0>) must be configured as inputs (set). The
A/D
port
configuration
bits
PCFG2:PCFG0
(ADCON1<2:0>) must be set, which will configure pins
RE2:RE0 as digital I/O.
A write to the PSP occurs when both the CS and WR
lines are first detected low. A read from the PSP occurs
when both the CS and RD lines are first detected low.

Timer0 Operation
SWITCHING PRESCALER
ASSIGNMENT
Timer0 can operate as a timer or as a counter.
The prescaler assignment is fully under software control, (i.e., it can be changed “on-the-fly” during program
execution).
Timer mode is selected by clearing the T0CS bit. 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 instruction cycles. The user can work around this
by writing an adjusted value to the TMR0 register.
11.3
The TMR0 interrupt is generated when the TMR0 register overflows from FFh to 00h in 8-bit mode, or FFFFh
to 0000h in 16-bit mode. This overflow sets the TMR0IF
bit. The interrupt can be masked by clearing the
TMR0IE bit. The TMR0IE bit must be cleared in software by the Timer0 module Interrupt Service Routine
before re-enabling this interrupt. The TMR0 interrupt
cannot awaken the processor from SLEEP since the
timer is shut-off during SLEEP.
Counter mode is selected by setting the T0CS bit. In
Counter mode, Timer0 will increment, either on every
rising or falling edge of pin RA4/T0CKI. The incrementing edge is determined by the Timer0 Source Edge
Select bit (T0SE). Clearing the T0SE bit selects the rising edge. Restrictions on the external clock input are
discussed below.
When an external clock input is used for Timer0, it must
meet certain requirements. The requirements ensure
the external clock can be synchronized with the internal
phase clock (TOSC). Also, there is a delay in the actual
incrementing of Timer0 after synchronization.
11.2
11.4
An 8-bit counter is available as a prescaler for the Timer0
module. The prescaler is not readable or writable.
The PSA and T0PS2:T0PS0 bits determine the
prescaler assignment and prescale ratio.
Clearing bit PSA will assign the prescaler to the Timer0
module. When the prescaler is assigned to the Timer0
module, prescale values of 1:2, 1:4,..., 1:256 are
selectable.
A write to the high byte of Timer0 must also take place
through the TMR0H Buffer register. Timer0 high byte is
updated with the contents of TMR0H when a write
occurs to TMR0L. This allows all 16 bits of Timer0 to be
updated at once.
When assigned to the Timer0 module, all instructions
writing to the TMR0 register (e.g., CLRF TMR0, MOVWF
TMR0, BSF TMR0, x, and so on) will clear the
prescaler count.
Writing to TMR0 when the prescaler is
assigned to Timer0 will clear the prescaler
count, but will not change the prescaler
assignment.
TABLE 11-1:
Name
16-Bit Mode Timer Reads and
Writes
TMR0H is not the high byte of the timer/counter in
16-bit mode, but is actually a buffered version of the
high byte of Timer0 (refer to Figure 11-2). The high byte
of the Timer0 counter/timer is not directly readable nor
writable. TMR0H is updated with the contents of the
high byte of Timer0 during a read of TMR0L. This provides the ability to read all 16 bits of Timer0 without
having to verify that the read of the high and low byte
were valid, due to a rollover between successive reads
of the high and low byte.

• 16-bit timer/counter
(two 8-bit registers; TMR1H and TMR1L)
• Readable and writable (both registers)
• Internal or external clock select
• Interrupt-on-overflow from FFFFh to 0000h
• RESET from CCP module special event trigger
Register 12-1 details the Timer1 Control register. This
register controls the operating mode of the Timer1
module, and contains the Timer1 oscillator enable bit
(T1OSCEN). Timer1 can be enabled or disabled by
setting or clearing control bit, TMR1ON (T1CON<0>).
Timer1 can also be used to provide Real-Time Clock
(RTC) functionality to applications with only a minimal
addition of external components and code overhead.

Timer1 Operation
When TMR1CS = 0, Timer1 increments every instruction cycle. When TMR1CS = 1, Timer1 increments on
every rising edge of the external clock input or the
Timer1 oscillator, if enabled.
Timer1 can operate in one of these modes:
• As a timer
• As a synchronous counter
• As an asynchronous counter
When the Timer1 oscillator is enabled (T1OSCEN is
set), the RC1/T1OSI and RC0/T1OSO/T13CKI pins
become inputs. That is, the TRISC<1:0> value is
ignored, and the pins are read as ‘0’.
The operating mode is determined by the clock select
bit, TMR1CS (T1CON<1>).
Timer1 also has an internal “RESET input”. This
RESET can be generated by ECCP1 or ECCP2 special
event trigger. This is discussed in detail in Section 12.4.

12.3
Timer1 Interrupt
A crystal oscillator circuit is built-in between pins T1OSI
(input) and T1OSO (amplifier output). It is enabled by
setting control bit T1OSCEN (T1CON<3>). The oscillator is a low power oscillator rated up to 200 kHz. It will
continue to run during SLEEP. It is primarily intended
for a 32 kHz crystal. The circuit for a typical LP oscillator is shown in Figure 12-3. Table 12-1 shows the
capacitor selection for the Timer1 oscillator.
The TMR1 register pair (TMR1H:TMR1L) increments
from 0000h to FFFFh and rolls over to 0000h. The
TMR1 interrupt, if enabled, is generated on overflow
which is latched in interrupt flag bit, TMR1IF
(PIR1<0>). This interrupt can be enabled/disabled by
setting/clearing TMR1 interrupt enable bit, TMR1IE
(PIE1<0>).
The user must provide a software time delay to ensure
proper start-up of the Timer1 oscillator

Note:
Resetting Timer1 Using an ECCP
Special Trigger Output
In the event that a write to Timer1 coincides with a
special event trigger from ECCP1, the write will take
precedence.
In this mode of operation, the CCPR1H:CCPR1L register pair effectively becomes the period register for
Timer1.
12.5
Timer1 16-Bit Read/Write Mode
Timer1 can be configured for 16-bit reads and writes
(see Figure 12-2). When the RD16 control bit
(T1CON<7>) is set, the address for TMR1H is mapped
to a buffer register for the high byte of Timer1. A read
from TMR1L will load the contents of the high byte of
Timer1 into the Timer1 high byte buffer. This provides
the user with the ability to accurately read all 16 bits of
Timer1 without having to determine whether a read of
the high byte, followed by a read of the low byte, is valid
due to a rollover between reads.
A write to the high byte of Timer1 must also take place
through the TMR1H Buffer register. Timer1 high byte is
updated with the contents of TMR1H when a write
occurs to TMR1L. This allows a user to write all 16 bits
to both the high and low bytes of Timer1 at once.
The high byte of Timer1 is not directly readable or writable in this mode. All reads and writes must take place
through the Timer1 High Byte Buffer register. Writes to
TMR1H do not clear the Timer1 prescaler. The
prescaler is only cleared on writes to TMR1L.

Using Timer1 as a Real-Time
Clock
tine which increments the seconds counter by one;
additional counters for minutes and hours are
incremented as the previous counter overflow.
Adding an external LP oscillator to Timer1 (such as the
one described in Section 12.2) gives users the option
to include RTC functionality to their applications. This is
accomplished with an inexpensive watch crystal to provide an accurate time base, and several lines of application code to calculate the time. When operating in
SLEEP mode and using a battery or supercapacitor as
a power source, it can completely eliminate the need
for a separate RTC device and battery backup.
Since the register pair is 16 bits wide, counting up to
overflow the register directly from a 32.768 kHz clock
would take 2 seconds. To force the overflow at the
required one-second intervals, it is necessary to preload it; the simplest method is to set the MSbit of
TMR1H with a BSF instruction. Note that the TMR1L
register is never preloaded or altered; doing so may
introduce cumulative error over many cycles.
The application code routine, RTCisr, shown in
Example 12-1, demonstrates a simple method to increment a counter at one-second intervals using an Interrupt Service Routine. Incrementing the TMR1 register
pair to overflow, triggers the interrupt and calls the rou-
EXAMPLE 12-1:
For this method to be accurate, Timer1 must operate in
Asynchronous mode, and the Timer1 overflow interrupt
must be enabled (PIE1<0> = 1), as shown in the routine, RTCinit. The Timer1 oscillator must also be
enabled and running at all times.

of 1:1, 1:4 or 1:16, selected by control bits
T2CKPS1:T2CKPS0 (T2CON<1:0>). The match output of TMR2 goes through a 4-bit postscaler (which
gives a 1:1 to 1:16 scaling inclusive) to generate a
TMR2 interrupt, latched in flag bit TMR2IF (PIR1<1>).
The prescaler and postscaler counters are cleared
when any of the following occurs:
• a write to the TMR2 register
• a write to the T2CON register
• any device RESET (Power-on Reset, MCLR
Reset, Watchdog Timer Reset, or Brown-out
Reset)
TMR2 is not cleared when T2CON is written.

TIMER3 MODULE
Figure 14-1 is a simplified block diagram of the Timer3
module.
The Timer3 module timer/counter has the following
features:
• 16-bit timer/counter
(two 8-bit registers: TMR3H and TMR3L)
• Readable and writable (both registers)
• Internal or external clock select
• Interrupt-on-overflow from FFFFh to 0000h
• RESET from CCP module trigger
REGISTER 14-1:
Register 14-1 shows the Timer3 Control register. This
register controls the operating mode of the Timer3
module and sets the CCP clock source.
Register 12-1 shows the Timer1 Control register. This
register controls the operating mode of the Timer1
module, as well as contains the Timer1 oscillator
enable bit (T1OSCEN) which can be a clock source for
Timer3.

Timer3 Operation
When TMR3CS = 0, Timer3 increments every instruction cycle. When TMR3CS = 1, Timer3 increments on
every rising edge of the Timer1 external clock input or
the Timer1 oscillator, if enabled.
Timer3 can operate in one of these modes:
• As a timer
• As a synchronous counter
• As an asynchronous counter
When the Timer1 oscillator is enabled (T1OSCEN is
set), the RC1/T1OSI and RC0/T1OSO/T13CKI pins
become inputs. That is, the TRISC<1:0> value is
ignored and the pins are read as ‘0’.
The operating mode is determined by the clock select
bit, TMR3CS (T3CON<1>).
Timer3 also has an internal “RESET input”. This RESET
can be generated by the CCP module (Section 14.0).

Timer1 Oscillator
14.4
The Timer1 oscillator may be used as the clock source
for Timer3. The Timer1 oscillator is enabled by setting
the T1OSCEN (T1CON<3>) bit. The oscillator is a low
power oscillator rated up to 200 kHz. See Section 12.0
for further details.
14.3
If either the ECCP1 or ECCP2 module is configured in
Compare mode to generate a special event trigger
(CCP1M3:CCP1M0 = 1011), this signal will reset
Timer3.
Note:
Timer3 Interrupt
The TMR3 register pair (TMR3H:TMR3L) increments
from 0000h to FFFFh and rolls over to 0000h. The
TMR3 interrupt, if enabled, is generated on overflow
which is latched in interrupt flag bit, TMR3IF
(PIR2<1>). This interrupt can be enabled/disabled by
setting/clearing TMR3 interrupt enable bit, TMR3IE
(PIE2<1>).
TABLE 14-1:
Resetting Timer3 Using an ECCP
Special Trigger Output
The special event triggers from the CCP
module will not set interrupt flag bit,
TMR3IF (PIR1<0>).
Timer3 must be configured for either Timer or Synchronized Counter mode to take advantage of this feature.
If Timer3 is running in Asynchronous Counter mode,
this RESET operation may not work. In the event that a
write to Timer3 coincides with a special event trigger
from ECCP1, the write will take precedence. In this
mode of operation, the CCPR1H:CCPR1L register pair
effectively becomes the period register for Timer3.

•
•
•
•
•
8-bit timer (TMR4 register)
8-bit period register (PR4)
Readable and writable (both registers)
Software programmable prescaler (1:1, 1:4, 1:16)
Software programmable postscaler (1:1 to 1:16)
Interrupt on TMR4 match of PR4
Timer4 has a control register shown in Register 15-1.
Timer4 can be shut-off by clearing control bit, TMR4ON
(T4CON<2>), to minimize power consumption. The
prescaler and postscaler selection of Timer4 are also
controlled by this register. Figure 15-1 is a simplified
block diagram of the Timer4 module.
Timer4 Operation
Timer4 can be used as the PWM time base for the
PWM mode of the CCP module. The TMR4 register is
readable and writable and is cleared on any device
RESET. The input clock (FOSC/4) has a prescale option
of 1:1, 1:4 or 1:16, selected by control bits
T4CKPS1:T4CKPS0 (T4CON<1:0>). The match output of TMR4 goes through a 4-bit postscaler (which
gives a 1:1 to 1:16 scaling inclusive) to generate a
TMR4 interrupt, latched in flag bit TMR4IF (PIR3<3>).
The prescaler and postscaler counters are cleared
when any of the following occurs:
• a write to the TMR4 register
• a write to the T4CON register
• any device RESET (Power-on Reset, MCLR
Reset, Watchdog Timer Reset, or Brown-out
Reset)
TMR4 is not cleared when T4CON is written.

CAPTURE/COMPARE/PWM
(CCP) MODULES
PIC18F6X2X/8X2X devices all have a total of five CCP
(Capture/Compare/PWM) modules. Two of these
(CCP4 and CCP5) implement standard Capture, Compare and Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) modes, and
are discussed in this section. The other three modules
(ECCP1, ECCP2, ECCP3) implement standard Capture and Compare modes, as well as enhanced PWM
modes. These are discussed in Section 17.0.
Capture and Compare operations described in this
chapter apply to all standard and enhanced CCP modules. The operations of PWM mode described in
Section 16.4 applies to CCP4 and CCP5 only.
Note:
Throughout this section and Section 17.0,
references to register and bit names that
may be associated with a specific CCP
module are referred to generically by the
use of ‘x’ or ‘y’ in place of the specific module number. Thus, “CCPxCON” might refer
to the control register for CCP4 or CCP5, or
ECCP1, ECCP2 or ECCP3. “CCPxCON” is
used throughout these sections to refer to
the module control register, regardless of
whether the CCP module is a standard or
enhanced implementation.
Each CCP/ECCP module contains a 16-bit register
which can operate as a 16-bit Capture register, a 16-bit
Compare register or a PWM Master/Slave Duty Cycle
register. For the sake of clarity, all CCP module operation in the following sections is described with respect
to CCP4, but is equally applicable to CCP5.

CCP MODULES AND TIMER
RESOURCES
The CCP/ECCP modules utilize Timers 1, 2, 3 or 4,
depending on the mode selected. Timer1 and Timer3
are available to modules in Capture or Compare
modes, while Timer2 and Timer4 are available for
modules in PWM mode.

The assignment of a particular timer to a module is
determined by the Timer-to-CCP enable bits in the
T3CON register (Register 14-1, page 145). Depending
on the configuration selected, up to four timers may be
active at once, with modules in the same configuration
(Capture/Compare or PWM) sharing timer resources.

In Capture mode, the RG3/CCP4 pin should be
configured as an input by setting the TRISG<3> bit.
Note:
16.2.2
If the RG3/CCP4 is configured as an output, a write to the port can cause a capture
condition.
TIMER1/TIMER3 MODE SELECTION
The timers that are to be used with the capture feature
(Timer1 and/or Timer3) must be running in Timer mode
or Synchronized Counter mode. In Asynchronous
Counter mode, the capture operation may not work.
The timer to be used with each CCP module is selected
in the T3CON register (see Section 16.1.1).
FIGURE 16-2:
When the Capture mode is changed, a false capture
interrupt may be generated. The user should keep bit
CCP4IE (PIE3<1>) clear to avoid false interrupts and
should clear the flag bit, CCP4IF, following any such
change in operating mode.
16.2.4
The event is selected by the mode select bits,
CCP4M3:CCP4M0 (CCP4CON<3:0>). When a capture is made, the interrupt request flag bit CCP4IF
(PIR3<1>) is set; it must be cleared in software. If
another capture occurs before the value in register
CCPR4 is read, the old captured value is overwritten by
the new captured value.
16.2.1
SOFTWARE INTERRUPT
CCP PRESCALER
There are four prescaler settings in Capture mode; they
are specified as part of the operating mode selected by
the mode select bits (CCP4M3:CCP4M0). Whenever
the CCP module is turned off or the CCP module is not
in Capture mode, the prescaler counter is cleared. This
means that any RESET will clear the prescaler counter.
Switching from one capture prescaler to another may
generate an interrupt. Also, the prescaler counter will
not be cleared, therefore, the first capture may be from
a non-zero prescaler. Example 16-1 shows the recommended method for switching between capture prescalers. This example also clears the prescaler counter
and will not generate the “false” interrupt.

In Compare mode, the 16-bit CCPR1 register value is
constantly compared against either the TMR1 or TMR3
register pair value. When a match occurs, the CCP4
pin can be:
Timer1 and/or Timer3 must be running in Timer mode
or Synchronized Counter mode, if the CCP module is
using the compare feature. In Asynchronous Counter
mode, the compare operation may not work.

When the Generate Software Interrupt mode is chosen
(CCP4M3:CCP4M0 = 1010), the CCP4 pin is not
affected. Only a CCP interrupt is generated if enabled
and the CCP4IE bit is set.
The action on the pin is based on the value of the mode
select bits (CCP4M3:CCP4M0). At the same time, the
interrupt flag bit CCP4IF is set.

SPECIAL EVENT TRIGGER
Although shown in Figure 16-3, the compare on match
special event triggers are not implemented on CCP4 or

Their operation is discussed in detail in Section 17.2.1.
CCP PIN CONFIGURATION
The user must configure the CCPx pin as an output by
clearing the appropriate TRIS bit.
Note:
SOFTWARE INTERRUPT MODE
Clearing the CCP4CON register will force
the RG3/CCP4 compare output latch to
the default low level. This is not the
PORTG I/O data latch.

16.4.1
PWM Mode
In Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) mode, the CCP4 pin
produces up to a 10-bit resolution PWM output. Since
the CCP4 pin is multiplexed with the PORTG data
latch, the TRISG<3> bit must be cleared to make the
CCP4 pin an output.
Note:
Clearing the CCP4CON register will force
the CCP4 PWM output latch to the default
low level. This is not the PORTG I/O data
latch.
Figure 16-4 shows a simplified block diagram of the
CCP module in PWM mode.
For a step-by-step procedure on how to set up the CCP
module for PWM operation, see Section 16.4.3.
FIGURE 16-4:
SIMPLIFIED PWM BLOCK
DIAGRAM
The PWM period is specified by writing to the PR2
(PR4) register. The PWM period can be calculated
using the following formula:
PWM period = (PR2) + 1] • 4 • TOSC •
(TMR2 prescale value)
PWM frequency is defined as 1 / [PWM period].
When TMR2 (TMR4) is equal to PR2 (PR2), the
following three events occur on the next increment
cycle:
• TMR2 (TMR4) is cleared
• The CCP4 pin is set (exception: if PWM duty
cycle = 0%, the CCP4 pin will not be set)
• The PWM duty cycle is latched from CCPR4L into
CCPR4H

Note 1: 8-bit timer TMR2 or TMR4 is concatenated with 2-bit

10-bit time base.
A PWM output (Figure 16-5) has a time base (period)
and a time that the output stays high (duty cycle). The
frequency of the PWM is the inverse of the period
(1/period).
FIGURE 16-5:
PWM OUTPUT
Period
PWM PERIOD
The Timer2 and Timer4 postscalers (see
Section 13.0) are not used in the determination of the PWM frequency. The
postscaler could be used to have a servo
update rate at a different frequency than
the PWM output.
PWM DUTY CYCLE
The PWM duty cycle is specified by writing to the
CCPR4L register and to the CCP4CON<5:4> bits. Up
to 10-bit resolution is available. The CCPR1L contains
the eight MSbs and the CCP4CON<5:4> contains the
two LSbs. This 10-bit value is represented by
CCPR4L:CCP4CON<5:4>. The following equation is
used to calculate the PWM duty cycle in time:
PWM duty cycle
= (CCPR4L:CCP4CON<5:4>) •
TOSC • (TMR2 prescale value)
CCPR4L and CCP4CON<5:4> can be written to at any
time, but the duty cycle value is not latched into
CCPR4H until after a match between PR2 and TMR2
occurs (i.e., the period is complete). In PWM mode,
CCPR4H is a read only register.
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.
When the CCPR4H and 2-bit latch match TMR2, concatenated with an internal 2-bit Q clock or 2 bits of the
TMR2 prescaler, the CCP4 pin is cleared.
The maximum PWM resolution (bits) for a given PWM
frequency is given by the equation:
Duty Cycle
TMR2 = PR2
F OSC
log  ---------------
 F PWM
PWM Resolution (max) = -----------------------------bits
log ( 2 )
TMR2 = Duty Cycle
TMR2 = PR2
DS39612A-page 156
Note:

If the PWM duty cycle value is longer than
the PWM period, the CCP4 pin will not be
cleared.

ENHANCED
CAPTURE/COMPARE/PWM
(ECCP) MODULE
Compare functions of the ECCP module are the same
as the standard CCP module.
The prototype control register for the enhanced CCP
module is shown in Register 17-1. In addition to the
expanded range of modes available through the
CCPxCON register, the ECCP modules each have two
additional registers associated with enhanced PWM
operation and auto shutdown features. They are:
• ECCPxDEL (Dead band delay)
• ECCPxAS (Auto shutdown configuration)
The enhanced CCP (ECCP) modules differ from the
standard CCP modules by the addition of enhanced
PWM capabilities. These allow for 2 or 4 output
channels, user selectable polarity, dead band control,
and automatic shutdown and restart, and are
discussed in detail in Section 17.4. Except for the

17.1
ECCP Outputs and Configuration
ECCP1 and ECCP3, on the other hand, only have
three dedicated output pins: CCPx/P3A, PxB, and PxC.
Whenever these modules are configured for Quad
PWM mode, the pin normally used for CCP4 or CCP5
becomes the D output pins for ECCP3 and ECCP1,
respectively. The CCP4 and CCP5 modules remain
functional but their outputs are overridden.
Each of the enhanced CCP modules may have up to
four PWM outputs, depending on the selected
operating mode. These outputs, designated PxA
through PxD, are multiplexed with various I/O pins.
Some ECCP pin assignments are constant, while
others change based on device configuration. For
those pins that do change, the controlling bits are:
17.1.2
• CCP2MX configuration bit (CONFIG3H<0>)
• ECCPMX configuration bit (CONFIG3H<1>)
• Program Memory mode (set by configuration bits
CONFIG3L<1:0>)
For PIC18F8X2X devices, the Program Memory mode
of the device (Section 4.1.1) impacts both pin
multiplexing and the operation of the module.
The pin assignments for the enhanced CCP modules
are summarized in Table 17-1, Table 17-2 and
Table 17-3. To configure the I/O pins as PWM outputs,
the proper PWM mode must be selected by setting the
PxMx and CCPxMx bits (CCPxCON<7:6> and <3:0>,
respectively). The appropriate TRIS direction bits for
the corresponding port pins must also be set as
outputs.
17.1.1
USE OF CCP4 AND CCP5 WITH
ECCP1 AND ECCP3
Only ECCP2 module has four dedicated output pins
available for use. Assuming that the I/O ports or other
multiplexed functions on those pins are not needed,
they may be used whenever needed without interfering
with any other CCP module.
TABLE 17-1:
ECCP MODULE OUTPUTS AND
PROGRAM MEMORY MODES
The ECCP2 input/output (CCP2/P2A) can be multiplexed to one of three pins. By default, this is RC1 for
all devices; in this case, the default is when CCP2MX
is set and the device is operating in Microcontroller
mode. With PIC18F8X2X devices, three other options
exist. When CCP2MX is not set (= 0) and the device is
in Microcontroller mode, CCP2/P2A is multiplexed to
RE7; in all other Program Memory modes, it is
multiplexed to RB3.
The final option is for CCP2MX to be set while the
device is operating in one of the three other Program
Memory modes. In this case, ECCP1 and ECCP3 operate as compatible (i.e., single output) CCP modules.
The pins used by their other outputs (PxB through PxD)
are available for other multiplexed functions. ECCP2
continues to operate as an enhanced CCP module
regardless of the Program Memory mode.

17.1.3
ECCP MODULES AND TIMER
RESOURCES
Like the standard CCP modules, the ECCP modules
can utilize Timers 1, 2, 3 or 4, depending on the mode
selected. Timer1 and Timer3 are available for modules
in Capture or Compare modes, while Timer2 and
Timer4 are available for modules in PWM mode. Additional details on timer resources are provided in
Section 16.1.1.
17.2
Capture and Compare Modes
Except for the operation of the special event trigger discussed below, the Capture and Compare modes of the
ECCP module are identical in operation to that of
CCP4. These are discussed in detail in Section 16.2
and Section 16.3.
17.2.1
SPECIAL EVENT TRIGGER
In this mode, an internal hardware trigger is generated
in Compare mode, on a match between the CCPR register pair and the selected timer. This can be used in
turn to initiate an action.
The special event trigger output of either ECCP1 or
ECCP2 resets the TMR1 or TMR3 register pair,
depending on which timer resource is currently
selected. This allows the CCPRx register to effectively
be a 16-bit programmable period register for Timer1 or
Timer3. In addition, the ECCP2 special event trigger
will also start an A/D conversion if the A/D module is
enabled.
The triggers are not implemented for ECCP3, CCP4 or
CCP5. Selecting the Special Event mode
(CCPxM3:CCPxM0 = 1011) for these modules has the
same effect as selecting the Compare with Software
Interrupt mode (CCPxM3:CCPxM0 = 1010).
Note:
17.3
The special event trigger from ECCP2 will
not set the Timer1 or Timer3 interrupt flag
bits.
When setting up single output PWM operations, users are free to use either of the
processes described in Section 16.4.3 or
Section 17.4.9. The latter is more generic
but will work for either single or multi-output
PWM.
DS39612A-page 162
Enhanced PWM Mode
The Enhanced PWM mode provides additional PWM
output options for a broader range of control applications. The module is a backward compatible version of
the standard CCP module and offers up to four outputs,
designated PxA through PxD. Users are also able to
select the polarity of the signal (either active high or
active low). The module’s output mode and polarity
are configured by setting the PxM1:PxM0 and
CCPxM3CCPxM0 bits of the CCPxCON register
(CCPxCON<7:6> and CCPxCON<3:0>, respectively).
For the sake of clarity, Enhanced PWM mode operation
is described generically throughout this section with
respect to ECCP1 and TMR2 modules. Control register
names are presented in terms of ECCP1. All three
enhanced modules, as well as the two timer resources,
can be used interchangeably and function identically.
TMR2 or TMR4 can be selected for PWM operation by
selecting the proper bits in T3CON.
Figure 17-1 shows a simplified block diagram of PWM
operation. All control registers are double-buffered and
are loaded at the beginning of a new PWM cycle (the
period boundary when Timer2 resets) in order to prevent glitches on any of the outputs. The exception is the
PWM delay register, ECCP1DEL, which is loaded at
either the duty cycle boundary or the boundary period
(whichever comes first). Because of the buffering, the
module waits until the assigned timer resets instead of
starting immediately. This means that enhanced PWM
waveforms do not exactly match the standard PWM
waveforms but are instead offset by one full instruction
cycle (4 TOSC).
As before, the user must manually configure the
appropriate TRIS bits for output.
17.4.1
PWM PERIOD
The PWM period is specified by writing to the PR2
register. The PWM period can be calculated using the
equation:
PWM Period = [(PR2) + 1] • 4 • TOSC •
(TMR2 Prescale Value)
Standard PWM Mode
When configured in Single Output mode, the ECCP
module functions identically to the standard CCP
module in PWM mode as described in Section 16.4.
This is also sometimes referred to as “Compatible
CCP” mode as in Tables 17-1 through 17-3.
Note:
17.4
PWM frequency is defined as 1 / [PWM period]. When
TMR2 is equal to PR2, the following three events occur
on the next increment cycle:
• TMR2 is cleared
• The CCP1 pin is set (if PWM duty cycle = 0%, the
CCP1 pin will not be set)
• The PWM duty cycle is copied from CCPR1L into
CCPR1H
Note:
Advance Information
The Timer2 postscaler (see Section 13.0)
is not used in the determination of the
PWM frequency. The postscaler could be
used to have a servo update rate at a
different frequency than the PWM output.

17.4.2
PWM DUTY CYCLE
The PWM duty cycle is specified by writing to the
CCPR1L register and to the CCP1CON<5:4> bits. Up
to 10-bit resolution is available. The CCPR1L contains
the eight MSbs and the CCP1CON<5:4> contains the
two LSbs. This 10-bit value is represented by
CCPRxL:CCPxCON<5:4>. The PWM duty cycle is
calculated by the equation:
PWM Duty Cycle =
log FOSC
FPWM
PWM Resolution (max) =
log(2)
(
(CCPR1L:CCP1CON<5:4>) •
TOSC • (TMR2 Prescale Value)
CCPR1L and CCP1CON<5:4> can be written to at any
time but the duty cycle value is not copied into
CCPR1H until a match between PR2 and TMR2 occurs
(i.e., the period is complete). In PWM mode, CCPR1H
is a read only register.
TABLE 17-4:
The CCPRxH register and a 2-bit internal latch are
used to double-buffer the PWM duty cycle. This
double-buffering is essential for glitchless PWM operation. When the CCPR1H and 2-bit latch match TMR2,
concatenated with an internal 2-bit Q clock or two bits
of the TMR2 prescaler, the CCP1 pin is cleared. The
maximum PWM resolution (bits) for a given PWM
frequency is given by the equation:
Note:
) bits
If the PWM duty cycle value is longer than
the PWM period, the CCP1 pin will not be
cleared.

17.4.4
FIGURE 17-4:
HALF-BRIDGE MODE
In the Half-Bridge Output mode, two pins are used as
outputs to drive push-pull loads. The PWM output signal is output on the P1A pin, while the complementary
PWM output signal is output on the P1B pin
(Figure 17-4). This mode can be used for half-bridge
applications, as shown in Figure 17-5, or for full-bridge
applications, where four power switches are being
modulated with two PWM signals.
In Half-Bridge Output mode, the programmable dead
band delay can be used to prevent shoot-through
current in half-bridge power devices. The value of bits
PDC6:PDC0 sets the number of instruction cycles
before the output is driven active. If the value is greater
than the duty cycle, the corresponding output remains
inactive during the entire cycle. See Section 17.4.6 for
more details of the dead band delay operations.

In the Forward mode, pin P1A is continuously active

P1C is continuously active and pin P1B is modulated.
These are illustrated in Figure 17-6.

Direction Change in Full-Bridge Mode
In the Full-Bridge Output mode, the P1M1 bit in the
CCP1CON register allows user to control the
forward/reverse direction. When the application firmware changes this direction control bit, the module will
assume the new direction on the next PWM cycle.
Just before the end of the current PWM period, the
modulated outputs (P1B and P1D) are placed in their
inactive state, while the unmodulated outputs (P1A and
P1C) are switched to drive in the opposite direction.
This occurs in a time interval of (4 TOSC * (Timer2
Prescale value) before the next PWM period begins.
The Timer2 prescaler will be either 1, 4 or 16, depending on the value of the T2CKPS bit (T2CON<1:0>).
During the interval from the switch of the unmodulated
outputs to the beginning of the next period, the
modulated outputs (P1B and P1D) remain inactive.
This relationship is shown in Figure 17-8.
Note that in the Full-Bridge Output mode, the CCP1
module does not provide any dead band delay. In general, since only one output is modulated at all times,
dead band delay is not required. However, there is a
situation where a dead band delay might be required.
This situation occurs when both of the following
conditions are true:
1.
2.
Figure 17-9 shows an example where the PWM direction changes from forward to reverse at a near 100%
duty cycle. At time t1, the output P1A and P1D become
inactive, while output P1C becomes active. In this
example, since the turn off time of the power devices is
longer than the turn on time, a shoot-through current
may flow through power devices QC and QD (see
Figure 17-7) for the duration of ‘t’. The same phenomenon will occur to power devices QA and QB for PWM
direction change from reverse to forward.
If changing PWM direction at high duty cycle is required
for an application, one of the following requirements
must be met:
1.
2.
Reduce PWM for a PWM period before
changing directions.
Use switch drivers that can drive the switches off
faster than they can drive them on.
Other options to prevent shoot-through current may
exist.
The direction of the PWM output changes when
the duty cycle of the output is at or near 100%.
The turn off time of the power switch, including
the power device and driver circuit, is greater
than the turn on time.

17.4.6
PROGRAMMABLE DEAD BAND
DELAY
In half-bridge applications where all power switches are
modulated at the PWM frequency at all times, the
power switches normally require more time to turn off
than to turn on. If both the upper and lower power
switches are switched at the same time (one turned on,
and the other turned off), both switches may be on for
a short period of time until one switch completely turns
off. During this brief interval, a very high current
(shoot-through current) may flow through both power
switches, shorting the bridge supply. To avoid this
potentially destructive shoot-through current from flowing during switching, turning on either of the power
switches is normally delayed to allow the other switch
to completely turn off.
In the Half-Bridge Output mode, a digitally programmable dead band delay is available to avoid
shoot-through current from destroying the bridge
power switches. The delay occurs at the signal transition from the non-active state to the active state. See
Figure 17-4 for illustration. The lower seven bits of the
ECCPxDEL register (Register 17-2) set the delay
period in terms of microcontroller instruction cycles
(TCY or 4 TOSC).
17.4.7
ENHANCED PWM
AUTO SHUTDOWN
When the CCP1 is programmed for any of the
enhanced PWM modes, the active output pins may be
configured for auto shutdown. Auto shutdown immediately places the enhanced PWM output pins into a
defined shutdown state when a shutdown event
occurs.
REGISTER 17-2:
A shutdown event can be caused by either of the two
comparator modules or the INT0 pin (or any combination
of these three sources). The comparators may be used
to monitor a voltage input proportional to a current being
monitored in the bridge circuit. If the voltage exceeds a
threshold, the comparator switches state and triggers a
shutdown. Alternatively, a digital signal on the INT0 pin
can also trigger a shutdown. The auto shutdown feature
can be disabled by not selecting any auto shutdown
sources. The auto shutdown sources to be used are
selected using the ECCP1AS2:ECCP1AS0 bits
(bits<6:4> of the ECCP1AS register).
When a shutdown occurs, the output pins are
asynchronously placed in their shutdown states,
specified
by
the
PSS1AC1:PSS1AC0
and
PSS1BD1:PSS1BD0 bits (ECCP1AS3:ECCP1AS0).
Each pin pair (P1A/P1C and P1B/P1D) may be set to
drive high, drive low, or be tri-stated (not driving). The
ECCP1ASE bit (ECCP1AS<7>) is also set to hold the
enhanced PWM outputs in their shutdown states.
The ECCP1ASE bit is set by hardware when a shutdown event occurs. If automatic restarts are not
enabled, the ECCPASE bit is cleared by firmware when
the cause of the shutdown clears. If automatic restarts
are enabled, the ECCPASE bit is automatically cleared
when the cause of the auto shutdown has cleared.
If the ECCPASE bit is set when a PWM period begins,
the PWM outputs remain in their shutdown state for that
entire PWM period. When the ECCPASE bit is cleared,
the PWM outputs will return to normal operation at the
beginning of the next PWM period.
Note:
Writing to the ECCPASE bit is disabled
while a shutdown condition is active.

Auto Shutdown and Automatic
Restart
17.4.8
The auto shutdown feature can be configured to allow
automatic restarts of the module following a shutdown
event. This is enabled by setting the P1RSEN bit of the
ECCP1DEL register (ECCP1DEL<7>).
In Shutdown mode with PRSEN = 1 (Figure 17-10), the
ECCPASE bit will remain set for as long as the cause
of the shutdown continues. When the shutdown condition clears, the ECCP1ASE bit is cleared. If PRSEN = 0
(Figure 17-11), once a shutdown condition occurs, the
ECCP1ASE bit will remain set until it is cleared by firmware. Once ECCP1ASE is cleared, the enhanced
PWM will resume at the beginning of the next PWM
period.
Note:
Writing to the ECCPASE bit is disabled
while a shutdown condition is active.
Independent of the P1RSEN bit setting, if the auto shutdown source is one of the comparators, the shutdown
condition is a level. The ECCP1ASE bit cannot be
cleared as long as the cause of the shutdown persists.
The Auto Shutdown mode can be forced by writing a ‘1’
to the ECCPASE bit.
FIGURE 17-10:
START-UP CONSIDERATIONS
When the ECCP module is used in the PWM mode, the
application hardware must use the proper external
pull-up and/or pull-down resistors on the PWM output
pins. When the microcontroller is released from
RESET, all of the I/O pins are in the high-impedance
state. The external circuits must keep the power switch
devices in the off state until the microcontroller drives
the I/O pins with the proper signal levels, or activates
the PWM output(s).
The CCP1M1:CCP1M0 bits (CCP1CON<1:0>) allow
the user to choose whether the PWM output signals are
active high or active low for each pair of PWM output
pins (P1A/P1C and P1B/P1D). The PWM output polarities must be selected before the PWM pins are configured as outputs. Changing the polarity configuration
while the PWM pins are configured as outputs is not
recommended since it may result in damage to the
application circuits.
The P1A, P1B, P1C and P1D output latches may not be
in the proper states when the PWM module is initialized.
Enabling the PWM pins for output at the same time as
the ECCP module may cause damage to the application circuit. The ECCP module must be enabled in the
proper output mode and complete a full PWM cycle
before configuring the PWM pins as outputs. The completion of a full PWM cycle is indicated by the TMR2IF
bit being set as the second PWM period begins.

SETUP FOR PWM OPERATION
The following steps should be taken when configuring
the ECCPx module for PWM operation:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
Configure the PWM pins PxA and PxB (and PxC
and PxD, if used) as inputs by setting the
corresponding TRIS bits.
Set the PWM period by loading the PR2 (PR4)
register.
Configure the ECCPx module for the desired
PWM mode and configuration by loading the
CCPxCON register with the appropriate values:
• Select one of the available output
configurations and direction with the
PxM1:PxM0 bits.
• Select the polarities of the PWM output
signals with the CCPxM3:CCPxM0 bits.
Set the PWM duty cycle by loading the CCPRxL
register and CCPxCON<5:4> bits.
For Half-Bridge Output mode, set the dead band
delay by loading ECCPxDEL<6:0> with the
appropriate value.
If auto shutdown operation is required, load the
ECCPxAS register:
• Select the auto shutdown sources using the
ECCPxAS2:ECCPxAS0 bits.
• Select the shutdown states of the PWM
output pins using PSSxAC1:PSSxAC0 and
PSSxBD1:PSSxBD0 bits.
• Set the ECCPxASE bit (ECCPxAS<7>).
• Configure the comparators using the CMCON
register.
• Configure the comparator inputs as analog
inputs.
 2003 Microchip Technology Inc.
7.
8.
9.
If auto restart operation is required, set the
PxRSEN bit (ECCPxDEL<7>).
Configure and start TMRn (TMR2 or TMR4):
• Clear the TMRn interrupt flag bit by clearing
the TMRnIF bit (PIR1<1> for Timer2 or
PIR3<3> for Timer4).
• Set the TMRn prescale value by loading the
TnCKPS bits (TnCON<1:0>).
• Enable Timer2 (or Timer4) by setting the
TMRnON bit (TnCON<2>).
Enable PWM outputs after a new PWM cycle
has started:
• Wait until TMRn overflows (TMRnIF bit is set).
• Enable the CCPx/PxA, PxB, PxC and/or PxD
pin outputs by clearing the respective TRIS
bits.
• Clear the ECCPASE bit (ECCPxAS<7>).
17.4.10
EFFECTS OF A RESET
Both Power-on Reset and subsequent RESETS will
force all ports to Input mode and the CCP registers to
their RESET states.
This forces the enhanced CCP module to reset to a
state compatible with the standard CCP module.

MASTER SYNCHRONOUS
SERIAL PORT (MSSP)
MODULE
Master SSP (MSSP) Module
Overview
The Master Synchronous Serial Port (MSSP) module is
a serial interface, useful for communicating with other
peripheral or microcontroller devices. These peripheral
devices may be serial EEPROMs, shift registers, display drivers, A/D converters, etc. The MSSP module
can operate in one of two modes:
• Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI)
• Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C)
- Full Master mode
- Slave mode (with general address call)
18.3
SPI Mode
The SPI mode allows 8 bits of data to be synchronously
transmitted and received simultaneously. All four
modes of SPI are supported. To accomplish
communication, typically three pins are used:
• Serial Data Out (SDO) - RC5/SDO
• Serial Data In (SDI) - RC4/SDI/SDA
• Serial Clock (SCK) - RC3/SCK/SCL
Additionally, a fourth pin may be used when in a Slave
mode of operation:
• Slave Select (SS) - RF7/SS
Figure 18-1 shows the block diagram of the MSSP
module when operating in SPI mode.
FIGURE 18-1:

The MSSP module has three associated registers.
These include a status register (SSPSTAT) and two
control registers (SSPCON1 and SSPCON2). The use
of these registers and their individual configuration bits
differ significantly depending on whether the MSSP
module is operated in SPI or I2C mode.
Additional details are provided under the individual

REGISTERS
The MSSP module has four registers for SPI mode
operation. These are:
SSPSR is the shift register used for shifting data in or
out. SSPBUF is the buffer register to which data bytes
are written to or read from.
In receive operations, SSPSR and SSPBUF together
create a double-buffered receiver. When SSPSR
receives a complete byte, it is transferred to SSPBUF
and the SSPIF interrupt is set.
• MSSP Control Register 1 (SSPCON1)
• MSSP Status Register (SSPSTAT)
• Serial Receive/Transmit Buffer Register
(SSPBUF)
• MSSP Shift Register (SSPSR) - Not directly
accessible
During transmission, the SSPBUF is not doublebuffered. A write to SSPBUF will write to both SSPBUF
and SSPSR.
SSPCON1 and SSPSTAT are the control and status
registers in SPI mode operation. The SSPCON1 register is readable and writable. The lower 6 bits of the
SSPSTAT are read only. The upper two bits of the
SSPSTAT are read/write.

18.3.2
OPERATION
When initializing the SPI, several options need to be
specified. This is done by programming the appropriate
control bits (SSPCON1<5:0>) and SSPSTAT<7:6>.
These control bits allow the following to be specified:
•
•
•
•
Master mode (SCK is the clock output)
Slave mode (SCK is the clock input)
Clock Polarity (IDLE state of SCK)
Data Input Sample Phase (middle or end of data
output time)
• Clock Edge (output data on rising/falling edge of
SCK)
• Clock Rate (Master mode only)
• Slave Select mode (Slave mode only)
The MSSP 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. Once the 8 bits
of data have been received, that byte is moved to the
SSPBUF register. Then the buffer full detect bit, BF
(SSPSTAT<0>), and the interrupt flag bit, SSPIF, are
set. This double-buffering of the received data
(SSPBUF) allows the next byte to start reception before
EXAMPLE 18-1:
LOOP
reading the data that was just received. Any write to the
SSPBUF register during transmission/reception of data
will be ignored, and the write collision detect bit, WCOL
(SSPCON1<7>), 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 to transfer is written to the SSPBUF. Buffer
full bit, BF (SSPSTAT<0>), indicates 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. Generally, the MSSP interrupt is used to
determine when the transmission/reception has completed. The SSPBUF must be read and/or written. If the
interrupt method is not going to be used, then software
polling can be done to ensure that a write collision does
not occur. Example 18-1 shows the loading of the
SSPBUF (SSPSR) for data transmission.
The SSPSR is not directly readable or writable, and
can only be accessed by addressing the SSPBUF register. Additionally, the MSSP status register (SSPSTAT)
indicates the various status conditions.

ENABLING SPI I/O
18.3.4
To enable the serial port, SSP enable bit, SSPEN
(SSPCON1<5>), must be set. To reset or reconfigure
SPI mode, clear the SSPEN bit, re-initialize the
SSPCON registers, and then set the SSPEN bit. This
configures the SDI, SDO, SCK, and SS pins as serial
port pins. For the pins to behave as the serial port function, some must have their data direction bits (in the
TRIS register) appropriately programmed as follows:
• SDI is automatically controlled by the SPI module
• SDO must have TRISC<5> bit cleared
• SCK (Master mode) must have TRISC<3> bit
cleared
• SCK (Slave mode) must have TRISC<3> bit set
• SS must have TRISF<7> bit set
TYPICAL CONNECTION
Figure 18-2 shows a typical connection between two
microcontrollers. The master controller (Processor 1)
initiates the data transfer by sending the SCK signal.
Data is shifted out of both shift registers on their programmed clock edge, and latched on the opposite
edge of the clock. Both processors should be programmed to the same Clock Polarity (CKP), then both
controllers would send and receive data at the same
time. Whether the data is meaningful (or dummy data)
depends on the application software. This leads to
three scenarios for data transmission:
• Master sends data — Slave sends dummy data
• Master sends data — Slave sends data
• Master sends dummy data — Slave sends data
Any serial port function that is not desired may be
overridden by programming the corresponding Data
Direction (TRIS) register to the opposite value.

MASTER MODE
The clock polarity is selected by appropriately
programming the CKP bit (SSPCON1<4>). This then,
would give waveforms for SPI communication as
shown in Figure 18-3, Figure 18-5, and Figure 18-6,
where the MSB is transmitted first. In Master mode, the
SPI clock rate (bit rate) is user programmable to be one
of the following:
The master can initiate the data transfer at any time
because it controls the SCK. The master determines
when the slave (Processor 2, Figure 18-2) is to
broadcast data by the software protocol.
In Master mode, the data is transmitted/received as
soon as the SSPBUF register is written to. If the SPI is
only going to receive, the SDO output could be disabled (programmed as an input). The SSPSR register
will continue to shift in the signal present on the SDI pin
at the programmed clock rate. As each byte is
received, it will be loaded into the SSPBUF register as
if a normal received byte (interrupts and status bits
appropriately set). This could be useful in receiver
applications as a “Line Activity Monitor” mode.

the external clock pulses appear on SCK. When the
last bit is latched, the SSPIF interrupt flag bit is set.
even if in the middle of a transmitted byte, and
becomes a floating output. External pull-up/pull-down
resistors may be desirable, depending on the
application.
While in Slave mode, the external clock is supplied by
the external clock source on the SCK pin. This external
clock must meet the minimum high and low times as
specified in the electrical specifications.
Note 1: When the SPI is in Slave mode with SS
pin control enabled (SSPCON<3:0> =
0100), the SPI module will reset if the SS
pin is set to VDD.
While in SLEEP mode, the slave can transmit/receive
data. When a byte is received, the device will wake-up
from SLEEP.
2: If the SPI is used in Slave mode with CKE
set, then the SS pin control must be
enabled.
18.3.7
When the SPI module resets, the bit counter is forced
to ‘0’. This can be done by either forcing the SS pin to
a high level or clearing the SSPEN bit.
SLAVE SELECT
SYNCHRONIZATION
The SS pin allows a Synchronous Slave mode. The
SPI must be in Slave mode with SS pin control enabled
(SSPCON1<3:0> = 04h). The pin must not be driven
low for the SS pin to function as an input. The data latch
must be high. When the SS pin is low, transmission and
reception are enabled and the SDO pin is driven. When
the SS pin goes high, the SDO pin is no longer driven
FIGURE 18-4:
To emulate two-wire communication, the SDO pin can
be connected to the SDI pin. When the SPI needs to
operate as a receiver, the SDO pin can be configured
as an input. This disables transmissions from the SDO.
The SDI can always be left as an input (SDI function)
since it cannot create a bus conflict.

SLEEP OPERATION
18.3.10
In Master mode, all module clocks are halted and the
transmission/reception will remain in that state until the
device wakes from SLEEP. After the device returns to
normal mode, the module will continue to transmit/
receive data.
Table 18-1 shows the compatibility between the
standard SPI modes and the states of the CKP and
CKE control bits.
TABLE 18-1:
In Slave mode, the SPI Transmit/Receive Shift register
operates asynchronously to the device. This allows the
device to be placed in SLEEP mode and data to be
shifted into the SPI Transmit/Receive Shift register.
When all 8 bits have been received, the MSSP interrupt
flag bit will be set and if enabled, will wake the device
from SLEEP.

I2C Mode
18.4.1
The MSSP module in I 2C mode fully implements all
master and slave functions (including general call support) and provides interrupts on START and STOP bits
in hardware to determine a free bus (multi-master function). The MSSP module implements the standard
mode specifications as well as 7-bit and 10-bit
addressing.
Two pins are used for data transfer:
• Serial clock (SCL) - RC3/SCK/SCL
• Serial data (SDA) - RC4/SDI/SDA
The user must configure these pins as inputs or outputs
through the TRISC<4:3> bits.
FIGURE 18-7:

The MSSP module has six registers for I2C operation.
These are:
•
•

•
MSSP Control Register 1 (SSPCON1)
MSSP Control Register 2 (SSPCON2)
MSSP Status Register (SSPSTAT)
Serial Receive/Transmit Buffer Register
(SSPBUF)
• MSSP Shift Register (SSPSR) - Not directly
accessible
• MSSP Address Register (SSPADD)
SSPCON1, SSPCON2 and SSPSTAT are the control
and status registers in I2C mode operation. The
SSPCON1 and SSPCON2 registers are readable and
writable. The lower 6 bits of the SSPSTAT are
read only. The upper two bits of the SSPSTAT are
read/write.
SSPSR is the shift register used for shifting data in or
out. SSPBUF is the buffer register to which data bytes
are written to or read from.
SSPADD register holds the slave device address
when the SSP is configured in I2C Slave mode. When
the SSP is configured in Master mode, the lower
seven bits of SSPADD act as the baud rate generator
reload value.

18.4.2
OPERATION
18.4.3.1
The MSSP module functions are enabled by setting
MSSP enable bit, SSPEN (SSPCON<5>).
The SSPCON1 register allows control of the I 2C operation. Four mode selection bits (SSPCON<3:0>) allow
one of the following I 2C modes to be selected:
• I2C Master mode, clock = (FOSC / 4) x
(SSPADD + 1)
• I 2C Slave mode (7-bit address)
• I 2C Slave mode (10-bit address)
• I 2C Slave mode (7-bit address), with START and
STOP bit interrupts enabled
• I 2C Slave mode (10-bit address), with START and
STOP bit interrupts enabled
• I 2C firmware controlled master operation, slave is
IDLE
Selection of any I 2C mode with the SSPEN bit set,
forces the SCL and SDA pins to be open drain,
provided these pins are programmed to inputs by
setting the appropriate TRISC bits. To ensure proper
operation of the module, pull-up resistors must be
provided externally to the SCL and SDA pins.
18.4.3
SLAVE MODE
In Slave mode, the SCL and SDA pins must be configured as inputs (TRISC<4:3> set). The MSSP module
will override the input state with the output data when
required (slave-transmitter).
The I 2C Slave mode hardware will always generate an
interrupt on an address match. Through the mode
select bits, the user can also choose to interrupt on
START and STOP bits
Once the MSSP 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 (SCL) line. The value of register SSPSR<7:1> is
compared to the value of the SSPADD register. 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:
1.
2.
3.
4.
The SSPSR register value is loaded into the
SSPBUF register.
The buffer full bit BF is set.
An ACK pulse is generated.
MSSP interrupt flag bit, SSPIF (PIR1<3>), is set
(interrupt is generated, if enabled) on the falling
edge of the ninth SCL pulse.
In 10-bit Address mode, two address bytes need to be
received by the slave. The five Most Significant bits
(MSbs) of the first address byte specify if this is a 10-bit
address. Bit R/W (SSPSTAT<2>) must specify a write so
the slave device will receive the second address byte.
For a 10-bit address, the first byte would equal ‘11110
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, with steps 7 through 9 for the slave-transmitter:
1.
2.
3.
When an address is matched or the data transfer after
an address match is received, the hardware automatically will generate the Acknowledge (ACK) pulse and
load the SSPBUF register with the received value
currently in the SSPSR register.
4.
Any combination of the following conditions will cause
the MSSP module not to give this ACK pulse:
6.
• The buffer full bit BF (SSPSTAT<0>) was set
before the transfer was received.
• The overflow bit SSPOV (SSPCON<6>) was set
before the transfer was received.
7.
8.
In this case, the SSPSR register value is not loaded
into the SSPBUF, but bit SSPIF (PIR1<3>) is set. The
BF bit is cleared by reading the SSPBUF register, while
bit SSPOV is cleared through software.
Addressing
5.
9.
Receive first (high) byte of address (bits SSPIF,
BF and bit UA (SSPSTAT<1>) are set).
Update the SSPADD register with second (low)
byte of address (clears bit UA and releases the
SCL line).
Read the SSPBUF register (clears bit BF) and
clear flag bit SSPIF.
Receive second (low) byte of address (bits
SSPIF, BF, and UA are set).
Update the SSPADD register with the first (high)
byte of address. If match releases SCL line, this
will clear bit UA.
Read the SSPBUF register (clears bit BF) and
clear flag bit SSPIF.
Receive Repeated START condition.
Receive first (high) byte of address (bits SSPIF
and BF are set).
Read the SSPBUF register (clears bit BF) and
clear flag bit SSPIF.
The SCL clock input must have a minimum high and
low for proper operation. The high and low times of the
I2C specification, as well as the requirement of the
MSSP module, are shown in timing parameter #100
and parameter #101.

18.4.3.2
Reception
18.4.3.3
When the R/W bit of the address byte is clear and an
address match occurs, the R/W bit of the SSPSTAT
register is cleared. The received address is loaded into
the SSPBUF register and the SDA line is held low
(ACK).
When the address byte overflow condition exists, then
the no Acknowledge (ACK) pulse is given. An overflow
condition is defined as either bit BF (SSPSTAT<0>) is
set, or bit SSPOV (SSPCON1<6>) is set.
An MSSP interrupt is generated for each data transfer
byte. Flag bit SSPIF (PIR1<3>) must be cleared in software. The SSPSTAT register is used to determine the
status of the byte.
If SEN is enabled (SSPCON1<0> = 1), RC3/SCK/SCL
will be held low (clock stretch) following each data
transfer. The clock must be released by setting bit CKP
(SSPCON<4>). See Section 18.4.4, “Clock Stretching”
for more detail.
Transmission
When the R/W bit of the incoming address byte is set
and an address match occurs, the R/W bit of the
SSPSTAT register is set. The received address is
loaded into the SSPBUF register. The ACK pulse will
be sent on the ninth bit and pin RC3/SCK/SCL is held
low regardless of SEN (see Section 18.4.4, “Clock
Stretching” for more detail). By stretching the clock, the
master will be unable to assert another clock pulse until
the slave is done preparing the transmit data. The
transmit data must be loaded into the SSPBUF register
which also loads the SSPSR register. Then pin RC3/
SCK/SCL should be enabled by setting bit CKP
(SSPCON1<4>). The eight data bits are shifted out on
the falling edge of the SCL input. This ensures that the
SDA signal is valid during the SCL high time
(Figure 18-9).
The ACK pulse from the master-receiver is latched on
the rising edge of the ninth SCL input pulse. If the SDA
line is high (not ACK), then the data transfer is complete. In this case, when the ACK is latched by the
slave, the slave logic is reset (resets SSPSTAT register) and the slave monitors for another occurrence of
the START bit. If the SDA line was low (ACK), the next
transmit data must be loaded into the SSPBUF register.
Again, pin RC3/SCK/SCL must be enabled by setting
bit CKP.
An MSSP interrupt is generated for each data transfer
byte. The SSPIF bit must be cleared in software and
the SSPSTAT register is used to determine the status
of the byte. The SSPIF bit is set on the falling edge of
the ninth clock pulse.

18.4.4
CLOCK STRETCHING
18.4.4.3
Both 7 and 10-bit Slave modes implement automatic
clock stretching during a transmit sequence.
The SEN bit (SSPCON2<0>) allows clock stretching to
be enabled during receives. Setting SEN will cause
the SCL pin to be held low at the end of each data
receive sequence.
18.4.4.1
Clock Stretching for 7-bit Slave
Receive Mode (SEN = 1)
In 7-bit Slave Receive mode, on the falling edge of the
ninth clock at the end of the ACK sequence if the BF
bit is set, the CKP bit in the SSPCON1 register is
automatically cleared, forcing the SCL output to be
held low. The CKP being cleared to ‘0’ will assert the
SCL line low. The CKP bit must be set in the user’s
ISR before reception is allowed to continue. By holding
the SCL line low, the user has time to service the ISR
and read the contents of the SSPBUF before the
master device can initiate another receive sequence.
This will prevent buffer overruns from occurring (see
Figure 18-13).
Note 1: If the user reads the contents of the
SSPBUF before the falling edge of the
ninth clock, thus clearing the BF bit, the
CKP bit will not be cleared and clock
stretching will not occur.
2: The CKP bit can be set in software
regardless of the state of the BF bit. The
user should be careful to clear the BF bit
in the ISR before the next receive
sequence in order to prevent an overflow
condition.
18.4.4.2
Clock Stretching for 7-bit Slave
Transmit Mode
7-bit Slave Transmit mode implements clock stretching
by clearing the CKP bit after the falling edge of the
ninth clock if the BF bit is clear. This occurs regardless
of the state of the SEN bit.
The user’s ISR must set the CKP bit before transmission is allowed to continue. By holding the SCL line
low, the user has time to service the ISR and load the
contents of the SSPBUF before the master device can
initiate another transmit sequence (see Figure 18-9).
Note 1: If the user loads the contents of SSPBUF,
setting the BF bit before the falling edge of
the ninth clock, the CKP bit will not be
cleared and clock stretching will not occur.
2: The CKP bit can be set in software
regardless of the state of the BF bit.
18.4.4.4
Clock Stretching for 10-bit Slave
Transmit Mode
In 10-bit Slave Transmit mode, clock stretching is controlled during the first two address sequences by the
state of the UA bit, just as it is in 10-bit Slave Receive
mode. The first two addresses are followed by a third
address sequence which contains the high order bits
of the 10-bit address and the R/W bit set to ‘1’. After
the third address sequence is performed, the UA bit is
not set, the module is now configured in Transmit
mode, and clock stretching is controlled by the BF flag
as in 7-bit Slave Transmit mode (see Figure 18-11).
Clock Stretching for 10-bit Slave
Receive Mode (SEN = 1)
In 10-bit Slave Receive mode during the address
sequence, clock stretching automatically takes place
but CKP is not cleared. During this time, if the UA bit is
set after the ninth clock, clock stretching is initiated.
The UA bit is set after receiving the upper byte of the
10-bit address, and following the receive of the second
byte of the 10-bit address with the R/W bit cleared to
‘0’. The release of the clock line occurs upon updating
SSPADD. Clock stretching will occur on each data
receive sequence as described in 7-bit mode.
Note:
If the user polls the UA bit and clears it by
updating the SSPADD register before the
falling edge of the ninth clock occurs, and
if the user hasn’t cleared the BF bit by
reading the SSPBUF register before that
time, then the CKP bit will still NOT be
asserted low. Clock stretching on the basis
of the state of the BF bit only occurs during
a data sequence, not an address
sequence.

18.4.4.5
Clock Synchronization and
the CKP bit
When the CKP bit is cleared, the SCL output is forced
to ‘0’. However, setting the CKP bit will not assert the
SCL output low until the SCL output is already sampled low. Therefore, the CKP bit will not assert the
SCL line until an external I2C master device has
FIGURE 18-12:
already asserted the SCL line. The SCL output will
remain low until the CKP bit is set, and all other
devices on the I2C bus have deasserted SCL. This
ensures that a write to the CKP bit will not violate the
minimum high time requirement for SCL (see
Figure 18-12).

GENERAL CALL ADDRESS
SUPPORT
If the general call address matches, the SSPSR is
transferred to the SSPBUF, the BF flag bit is set (eighth
bit), and on the falling edge of the ninth bit (ACK bit),
the SSPIF interrupt flag bit is set.
The addressing procedure for the I2C bus is such that
the first byte after the START condition usually determines which device will be the slave addressed by the
master. The exception is the general call address which
can address all devices. When this address is used, all
devices should, in theory, respond with an
Acknowledge.
When the interrupt is serviced, the source for the interrupt can be checked by reading the contents of the
SSPBUF. The value can be used to determine if the
address was device specific or a general call address.
In 10-bit mode, the SSPADD is required to be updated
for the second half of the address to match, and the UA
bit is set (SSPSTAT<1>). If the general call address is
sampled when the GCEN bit is set, while the slave is
configured in 10-bit Address mode, then the second
half of the address is not necessary, the UA bit will not
be set, and the slave will begin receiving data after the
Acknowledge (Figure 18-15).
The general call address is one of eight addresses
reserved for specific purposes by the I2C protocol. It
consists of all ‘0’s with R/W = 0.
The general call address is recognized when the General Call Enable bit (GCEN) is enabled (SSPCON2<7>
set). Following a START bit detect, 8 bits are shifted
into the SSPSR and the address is compared against
the SSPADD. It is also compared to the general call
address and fixed in hardware.

MASTER MODE
Note:
Master mode is enabled by setting and clearing the
appropriate SSPM bits in SSPCON1 and by setting the
SSPEN bit. In Master mode, the SCL and SDA lines
are manipulated by the MSSP hardware.
Master mode of operation is supported by interrupt
generation on the detection of the START and STOP
conditions. The STOP (P) and START (S) bits are
cleared from a RESET or when the MSSP module is
disabled. Control of the I 2C bus may be taken when the
P bit is set or the bus is IDLE, with both the S and P bits
clear.
The following events will cause SSP interrupt flag bit,
SSPIF, to be set (SSP interrupt, if enabled):

I2C Master Mode Operation
The master device generates all of the serial clock
pulses and the START and STOP conditions. A transfer is ended with a STOP condition or with a Repeated
START condition. Since the Repeated START condition is also the beginning of the next serial transfer, the
I2C bus will not be released.
In Master Transmitter mode, serial data is output
through SDA, while SCL outputs the serial clock. The
first byte transmitted contains the slave address of the
receiving device (7 bits) and the Read/Write (R/W) bit.
In this case, the R/W bit will be logic ‘0’. Serial data is
transmitted 8 bits at a time. After each byte is transmitted, an Acknowledge bit is received. START and STOP
conditions are output to indicate the beginning and the
end of a serial transfer.
In Master Receive mode, the first byte transmitted contains the slave address of the transmitting device
(7 bits) and the R/W bit. In this case, the R/W bit will be
logic ‘1'’ Thus, the first byte transmitted is a 7-bit slave
address followed by a ‘1’ to indicate receive bit. Serial
data is received via SDA, while SCL outputs the serial
clock. Serial data is received 8 bits at a time. After each
byte is received, an Acknowledge bit is transmitted.
START and STOP conditions indicate the beginning
and end of transmission.
The baud rate generator used for the SPI mode operation is used to set the SCL clock frequency for either
100 kHz, 400 kHz or 1 MHz I2C operation. See
Section 18.4.7, “Baud Rate Generator” for more detail.
DS39612A-page 200
A typical transmit sequence would go as follows:
1.
The user generates a START condition by setting
the
START
enable
bit,
SEN
(SSPCON2<0>).
2. SSPIF is set. The MSSP module will wait the
required start time before any other operation
takes place.
3. The user loads the SSPBUF with the slave
address to transmit.
4. Address is shifted out the SDA pin until all 8 bits
are transmitted.
5. The MSSP Module shifts in the ACK bit from the
slave device and writes its value into the
SSPCON2 register (SSPCON2<6>).
6. The MSSP module generates an interrupt at the
end of the ninth clock cycle by setting the SSPIF
bit.
7. The user loads the SSPBUF with eight bits of
data.
8. Data is shifted out the SDA pin until all 8 bits are
transmitted.
9. The MSSP module shifts in the ACK bit from the
slave device and writes its value into the
SSPCON2 register (SSPCON2<6>).
10. The MSSP module generates an interrupt at the

11. The user generates a STOP condition by setting

BAUD RATE GENERATOR

In I C Master mode, the baud rate generator (BRG)
reload value is placed in the lower 7 bits of the
SSPADD register (Figure 18-17). When a write occurs
to SSPBUF, the baud rate generator will automatically
begin counting. The BRG counts down to ‘0’ and stops
until another reload has taken place. The BRG count is
decremented twice per instruction cycle (TCY) on the
Q2 and Q4 clocks. In I2C Master mode, the BRG is
reloaded automatically.
FIGURE 18-17:
Once the given operation is complete (i.e., transmission of the last data bit is followed by ACK), the internal
clock will automatically stop counting and the SCL pin
will remain in its last state.

Clock Arbitration
Clock arbitration occurs when the master, during any
receive, transmit or Repeated START/STOP condition,
deasserts the SCL pin (SCL allowed to float high).
When the SCL pin is allowed to float high, the Baud
Rate Generator (BRG) is suspended from counting
until the SCL pin is actually sampled high. When the
FIGURE 18-18:
SCL pin is sampled high, the baud rate generator is
reloaded with the contents of SSPADD<6:0> and
begins counting. This ensures that the SCL high time
will always be at least one BRG rollover count in the
event that the clock is held low by an external device
(Figure 18-18).

I2C MASTER MODE START
CONDITION TIMING
Note:
To initiate a START condition, the user sets the START
condition enable bit, SEN (SSPCON2<0>). If the SDA
and SCL pins are sampled high, the baud rate generator is reloaded with the contents of SSPADD<6:0> and
starts its count. If SCL and SDA are both sampled high
when the baud rate generator times out (TBRG), the
SDA pin is driven low. The action of the SDA being
driven low while SCL is high is the START condition
and causes the S bit (SSPSTAT<3>) to be set. Following this, the baud rate generator is reloaded with the
contents of SSPADD<6:0> and resumes its count.
When the baud rate generator times out (TBRG), the
SEN bit (SSPCON2<0>) will be automatically cleared
by hardware, the baud rate generator is suspended,
leaving the SDA line held low and the START condition
is complete.
FIGURE 18-19:
18.4.8.1
If at the beginning of the START condition,
the SDA and SCL pins are already sampled low, or if during the START condition,
the SCL line is sampled low before the
SDA line is driven low, a bus collision
occurs, the Bus Collision Interrupt Flag,
BCLIF, is set, the START condition is
aborted, and the I2C module is reset into
its IDLE state.
WCOL Status Flag
If the user writes the SSPBUF when a START
sequence is in progress, the WCOL is set and the contents of the buffer are unchanged (the write doesn’t
occur).
Note:
Because queueing of events is not
allowed, writing to the lower 5 bits of

START CONDITION TIMING
Note 1: If RSEN is programmed while any other
event is in progress, it will not take effect.
A Repeated START condition occurs when the RSEN
bit (SSPCON2<1>) is programmed high and the I2C
logic module is in the IDLE state. When the RSEN bit is
set, the SCL pin is asserted low. When the SCL pin is
sampled low, the baud rate generator is loaded with the
contents of SSPADD<5:0> and begins counting. The
SDA pin is released (brought high) for one baud rate
generator count (TBRG). When the baud rate generator
times out, if SDA is sampled high, the SCL pin will be
deasserted (brought high). When SCL is sampled high,
the baud rate generator is reloaded with the contents of
SSPADD<6:0> and begins counting. SDA and SCL
must be sampled high for one TBRG. This action is then
followed by assertion of the SDA pin (SDA = 0) for one
TBRG while SCL is high. Following this, the RSEN bit
(SSPCON2<1>) will be automatically cleared and the
baud rate generator will not be reloaded, leaving the
SDA pin held low. As soon as a START condition is
detected on the SDA and SCL pins, the S bit
(SSPSTAT<3>) will be set. The SSPIF bit will not be set
until the baud rate generator has timed out.
2: A bus collision during the Repeated
START condition occurs if:
• SDA is sampled low when SCL goes
from low to high.
• SCL goes low before SDA is
asserted low. This may indicate that
another master is attempting to
transmit a data ‘1’.
Immediately following the SSPIF bit getting set, the user
may write the SSPBUF with the 7-bit address in 7-bit
mode, or the default first address in 10-bit mode. After
the first eight bits are transmitted and an ACK is
received, the user may then transmit an additional eight
bits of address (10-bit mode) or eight bits of data (7-bit
mode).

I2C MASTER MODE
TRANSMISSION
18.4.10.3
Transmission of a data byte, a 7-bit address, or the
other half of a 10-bit address is accomplished by simply
writing a value to the SSPBUF register. This action will
set the buffer full flag bit, BF, and allow the baud rate
generator to begin counting and start the next transmission. Each bit of address/data will be shifted out onto
the SDA pin after the falling edge of SCL is asserted
(see data hold time specification parameter #106). SCL
is held low for one baud rate generator rollover count
(TBRG). Data should be valid before SCL is released
high (see data setup time specification parameter
#107). When the SCL pin is released high, it is held that
way for TBRG. The data on the SDA pin must remain
stable for that duration and some hold time after the
next falling edge of SCL. After the eighth bit is shifted
out (the falling edge of the eighth clock), the BF flag is
cleared and the master releases SDA. This allows the
slave device being addressed to respond with an ACK
bit during the ninth bit time if an address match
occurred, or if data was received properly. The status
of ACK is written into the ACKDT bit on the falling edge
of the ninth clock. If the master receives an Acknowledge, the Acknowledge status bit, ACKSTAT, is
cleared. If not, the bit is set. After the ninth clock, the
SSPIF bit is set and the master clock (baud rate generator) is suspended until the next data byte is loaded into
the SSPBUF, leaving SCL low and SDA unchanged
(Figure 18-21).
After the write to the SSPBUF, each bit of address will
be shifted out on the falling edge of SCL until all seven
address bits and the R/W bit are completed. On the falling edge of the eighth clock, the master will deassert
the SDA pin, allowing the slave to respond with an
Acknowledge. On the falling edge of the ninth clock, the
master will sample the SDA pin to see if the address
was recognized by a slave. The status of the ACK bit is
loaded into the ACKSTAT status bit (SSPCON2<6>).
Following the falling edge of the ninth clock transmission of the address, the SSPIF is set, the BF flag is
cleared and the baud rate generator is turned off until
another write to the SSPBUF takes place, holding SCL
low and allowing SDA to float.
18.4.10.1
BF Status Flag
In Transmit mode, the BF bit (SSPSTAT<0>) is set
when the CPU writes to SSPBUF and is cleared when
all 8 bits are shifted out.
18.4.10.2
ACKSTAT Status Flag
In Transmit mode, the ACKSTAT bit (SSPCON2<6>) is
cleared when the slave has sent an Acknowledge
(ACK = 0), and is set when the slave does not
Acknowledge (ACK = 1). A slave sends an Acknowledge when it has recognized its address (including a
general call), or when the slave has properly received
its data.
18.4.11
I2C MASTER MODE RECEPTION
Master mode reception is enabled by programming the
receive enable bit, RCEN (SSPCON2<3>).
Note:
The MSSP module must be in an IDLE
state before the RCEN bit is set or the
RCEN bit will be disregarded.
The baud rate generator begins counting, and on each
rollover, the state of the SCL pin changes (high to low/
low to high) and data is shifted into the SSPSR. After
the falling edge of the eighth clock, the receive enable
flag is automatically cleared, the contents of the
SSPSR are loaded into the SSPBUF, the BF flag bit is
set, the SSPIF flag bit is set and the baud rate generator is suspended from counting, holding SCL low. The
MSSP is now in IDLE state awaiting the next command. When the buffer is read by the CPU, the BF flag
bit is automatically cleared. The user can then send an
Acknowledge bit at the end of reception by setting the
Acknowledge sequence enable bit, ACKEN
(SSPCON2<4>).
18.4.11.1

In receive operation, the BF bit is set when an address
or data byte is loaded into SSPBUF from SSPSR. It is

In receive operation, the SSPOV bit is set when 8 bits

already in progress (i.e., SSPSR is still shifting in a data
byte), the WCOL bit is set and the contents of the buffer
are unchanged (the write doesn’t occur).

ACKNOWLEDGE SEQUENCE
TIMING
18.4.13
A STOP bit is asserted on the SDA pin at the end of a
receive/transmit by setting the STOP sequence enable
bit, PEN (SSPCON2<2>). At the end of a receive/
transmit, the SCL line is held low after the falling edge
of the ninth clock. When the PEN bit is set, the master
will assert the SDA line low. When the SDA line is sampled low, the baud rate generator is reloaded and
counts down to ‘0’. When the baud rate generator times
out, the SCL pin will be brought high, and one TBRG
(baud rate generator rollover count) later, the SDA pin
will be deasserted. When the SDA pin is sampled high
while SCL is high, the P bit (SSPSTAT<4>) is set. A
TBRG later, the PEN bit is cleared and the SSPIF bit is
set (Figure 18-24).
An Acknowledge sequence is enabled by setting the
Acknowledge
sequence
enable
bit,
ACKEN
(SSPCON2<4>). When this bit is set, the SCL pin is
pulled low and the contents of the Acknowledge data bit
are presented on the SDA pin. If the user wishes to generate an Acknowledge, then the ACKDT bit should be
cleared. If not, the user should set the ACKDT bit before
starting an Acknowledge sequence. The baud rate generator then counts for one rollover period (TBRG) and the
SCL pin is deasserted (pulled high). When the SCL pin
is sampled high (clock arbitration), the baud rate generator counts for TBRG. The SCL pin is then pulled low. Following this, the ACKEN bit is automatically cleared, the
baud rate generator is turned off and the MSSP module
then goes into IDLE mode (Figure 18-23).

EFFECT OF A RESET
A RESET disables the MSSP module and terminates

18.4.16
MULTI-MASTER MODE
In Multi-Master mode, the interrupt generation on the
detection of the START and STOP conditions allows
the determination of when the bus is free. The STOP
(P) and START (S) bits are cleared from a RESET or
when the MSSP module is disabled. Control of the I 2C
bus may be taken when the P bit (SSPSTAT<4>) is set,
or the bus is IDLE with both the S and P bits 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 for arbitration to see if the signal level is the
expected output level. This check is performed in
hardware with the result placed in the BCLIF bit.
The states where arbitration can be lost are:
•
•

MULTI -MASTER COMMUNICATION,
BUS COLLISION, AND BUS
ARBITRATION
Multi-Master mode support is achieved by bus arbitration. When the master outputs address/data bits onto
the SDA pin, arbitration takes place when the master
outputs a ‘1’ on SDA, by letting SDA float high and
another master asserts a ‘0’. When the SCL pin floats
high, data should be stable. If the expected data on
SDA is a ‘1’ and the data sampled on the SDA pin = 0,
then a bus collision has taken place. The master will set
the Bus Collision Interrupt Flag, BCLIF and reset the
I2C port to its IDLE state (Figure 18-25).
If a transmit was in progress when the bus collision
occurred, the transmission is halted, the BF flag is
cleared, the SDA and SCL lines are deasserted, and
the SSPBUF can be written to. When the user services
the bus collision Interrupt Service Routine, and if the
I2C bus is free, the user can resume communication by
asserting a START condition.
If a START, Repeated START, STOP, or Acknowledge
condition was in progress when the bus collision
occurred, the condition is aborted, the SDA and SCL
lines are deasserted, and the respective control bits in
the SSPCON2 register are cleared. When the user services the bus collision Interrupt Service Routine, and if
the I2C bus is free, the user can resume communication
by asserting a START condition.
The master will continue to monitor the SDA and SCL
pins. If a STOP condition occurs, the SSPIF bit will be set.
A write to the SSPBUF will start the transmission of
data at the first data bit regardless of where the
transmitter left off when the bus collision occurred.
In Multi-Master mode, the interrupt generation on the
detection of START and STOP conditions allows the
determination of when the bus is free. Control of the I2C
bus can be taken when the P bit is set in the SSPSTAT
register, or the bus is IDLE and the S and P bits are
cleared.

Bus Collision During a START
Condition
During a START condition, a bus collision occurs if:
a)
b)
SDA or SCL are sampled low at the beginning of
the START condition (Figure 18-26).
SCL is sampled low before SDA is asserted low
(Figure 18-27).
During a START condition, both the SDA and the SCL
pins are monitored.
If the SDA pin is sampled low during this count, the
BRG is reset and the SDA line is asserted early
(Figure 18-28). If, however, a ‘1’ is sampled on the SDA
pin, the SDA pin is asserted low at the end of the BRG
count. The baud rate generator is then reloaded and
counts down to ‘0’, and during this time, if the SCL pins
are sampled as ‘0’, a bus collision does not occur. At
the end of the BRG count, the SCL pin is asserted low.
Note:
If the SDA pin is already low, or the SCL pin is already
low, then all of the following occur:
• the START condition is aborted,
• the BCLIF flag is set, and
• the MSSP module is reset to its IDLE state
(Figure 18-26).
The START condition begins with the SDA and SCL
pins deasserted. When the SDA pin is sampled high,
the baud rate generator is loaded from SSPADD<6:0>
and counts down to ‘0’. If the SCL pin is sampled low
while SDA is high, a bus collision occurs because it is
assumed that another master is attempting to drive a
data ‘1’ during the START condition.
FIGURE 18-26:
The reason that bus collision is not a factor
during a START condition is that no two bus
masters can assert a START condition at
the exact same time. Therefore, one master will always assert SDA before the other.
This condition does not cause a bus collision because the two masters must be
allowed to arbitrate the first address following the START condition. If the address is
the same, arbitration must be allowed to
continue into the data portion, Repeated
START or STOP conditions.

Bus Collision During a Repeated
START Condition
If SDA is low, a bus collision has occurred (i.e., another
master is attempting to transmit a data ‘0’, Figure 18-29).
If SDA is sampled high, the BRG is reloaded and begins
counting. If SDA goes from high to low before the BRG
times out, no bus collision occurs because no two
masters can assert SDA at exactly the same time.
During a Repeated START condition, a bus collision
occurs if:
a)
b)
A low level is sampled on SDA when SCL goes
from low level to high level.
SCL goes low before SDA is asserted low, indicating that another master is attempting to
transmit a data ‘1’.
If SCL goes from high to low before the BRG times out
and SDA has not already been asserted, a bus collision
occurs. In this case, another master is attempting to
transmit a data ‘1’ during the Repeated START
condition, see Figure 18-30.
When the user deasserts SDA and the pin is allowed to
float high, the BRG is loaded with SSPADD<6:0> and
counts down to ‘0’. The SCL pin is then deasserted and
when sampled high, the SDA pin is sampled.
FIGURE 18-29:
If, at the end of the BRG time-out, both SCL and SDA
are still high, the SDA pin is driven low and the BRG is

driven low and the Repeated START condition is

The STOP condition begins with SDA asserted low.
When SDA is sampled low, the SCL pin is allowed to
float. When the pin is sampled high (clock arbitration),
the baud rate generator is loaded with SSPADD<6:0>
and counts down to ‘0’. After the BRG times out, SDA
is sampled. If SDA is sampled low, a bus collision has
occurred. This is due to another master attempting to

Bus collision occurs during a STOP condition if:
a)

ENHANCED UNIVERSAL
SYNCHRONOUS
ASYNCHRONOUS RECEIVER
TRANSMITTER (USART)
The Universal Synchronous Asynchronous Receiver
Transmitter (USART) module is one of the two serial
I/O modules. (USART is also known as a Serial Communications Interface or SCI.) The USART can be configured as a full-duplex asynchronous system that can
communicate with peripheral devices, such as CRT terminals and personal computers. It can also be configured as a half-duplex synchronous system that can
communicate with peripheral devices, such as A/D or
D/A integrated circuits, serial EEPROMs, etc.
The Enhanced USART module implements additional
features, including automatic baud rate detection and
calibration, automatic wake-up on Sync Break reception and 12-bit Break character transmit. These make it
ideally suited for use in Local Interconnect Network bus
(LIN bus) systems.
The USART can be configured in the following modes:
• Asynchronous (full-duplex) with:
- Auto wake-up on character reception
- Auto baud calibration
- 12-bit Break character transmission
• Synchronous - Master (half-duplex) with
selectable clock polarity
• Synchronous - Slave (half-duplex) with selectable
clock polarity
The pins of USART1 and USART2 are multiplexed with
the functions of PORTC (RC6/TX1/CK1 and RC7RX1/
DT1) and PORTG (RG1/TX2/CK2 and RG2/RX2/DT2),
respectively. In order to configure these pins as a
USART:
• For USART1:
- bit SPEN (RCSTA1<7>) must be set (= 1)
- bit TRISC<7> must be set (= 1)
- bit TRISC<6> must be cleared (= 0) for
Asynchronous and Synchronous Master
modes
- bit TRISC<6> must be set (= 1) for
Synchronous Slave mode
• For USART2:
- bit SPEN (RCSTA2<7>) must be set (= 1)
- bit TRISG<2> must be set (= 1)
- bit TRISG<1> must be cleared (= 0) for
Asynchronous and Synchronous Master
modes
- bit TRISC<6> must be set (= 1) for
Synchronous Slave mode
Note:
The USART control will automatically
reconfigure the pin from input to output as
needed.
The operation of each enhanced USART module is
controlled through three registers:
• Transmit Status and Control (TXSTAx)
• Receive Status and Control (RCSTAx)
• Baud Rate Control (BAUDCONx)
These are detailed on the following pages in
Register 19-1, Register 19-2 and Register 19-3,
respectively.

19.1
USART Baud Rate Generator (BRG)
The BRG is a dedicated 8-bit or 16-bit generator that
supports both the Asynchronous and Synchronous
modes of the USART. By default, the BRG operates in
8-bit mode; setting the BRG16 bit (BAUDCONx<3>)
selects 16-bit mode.
The SPBRGHx:SPBRGx register pair controls the
period of a free running timer. In Asynchronous mode,
bits BRGH (TXSTAx<2>) and BRG16 also control the
baud rate. In Synchronous mode, bit BRGH is ignored.
Table 19-1 shows the formula for computation of the
baud rate for different USART modes which only apply
in Master mode (internally generated clock).
Given the desired baud rate and FOSC, the nearest
integer value for the SPBRGHx:SPBRGx registers can
be calculated using the formulas in Table 19-1. From
TABLE 19-1:
this, the error in baud rate can be determined. An
example calculation is shown in Example 19-1. Typical
baud rates and error values for the various Asynchronous modes are shown in Table 19-2. It may be advantageous to use the high baud rate (BRGH = 1) or the
16-bit BRG to reduce the baud rate error, or achieve a
slow baud rate for a fast oscillator frequency.
Writing a new value to the SPBRGHx:SPBRGx registers causes the BRG timer to be reset (or cleared). This
ensures the BRG does not wait for a timer overflow
before outputting the new baud rate.
19.1.1
SAMPLING
The data on the RXx pin (either RC7/RX1/DT1 or RG2/
RX2/DT2) is sampled three times by a majority detect
circuit to determine if a high or a low level is present at
the RX pin.

EXAMPLE 19-1:
CALCULATING BAUD RATE ERROR
For a device with FOSC of 16 MHz, desired baud rate of 9600, Asynchronous mode, 8-bit BRG:
Desired Baud Rate = FOSC / (64 ([SPBRGHx:SPBRGx] + 1))
Solving for SPBRGHx:SPBRGx:
X
= ((FOSC / Desired Baud Rate)/64) – 1
= ((16000000 / 9600) / 64) – 1
= [25.042] = 25
Calculated Baud Rate= 16000000 / (64 (25 + 1))
= 9615
Error
= (Calculated Baud Rate – Desired Baud Rate) / Desired Baud Rate
= (9615 – 9600) / 9600 = 0.16%

19.1.2
AUTO BAUD RATE DETECT
The enhanced USART module supports the automatic
detection and calibration of baud rate. This feature is
active only in Asynchronous mode and while the WUE
bit is clear.
The automatic baud rate measurement sequence
(Figure 19-1) begins whenever a START bit is received
and the ABDEN bit is set. The calculation is
self-averaging.
In the Auto Baud Rate Detect (ABD) mode, the clock to
the BRG is reversed. Rather than the BRG clocking the
incoming RX signal, the RX signal is timing the BRG. In
ABD mode, the internal baud rate generator is used as
a counter to time the bit period of the incoming serial
byte stream.
Once the ABDEN bit is set, the state machine will clear
the BRG and look for a START bit. The auto baud
detect must receive a byte with the value 55h (ASCII
“U”, which is also the LIN bus Sync character), in order
to calculate the proper bit rate. The measurement is
taken over both a low and a high bit time in order to
minimize any effects caused by asymmetry of the
incoming signal. After a START bit, the SPBRGx
begins counting up using the preselected clock source
on the first rising edge of RX. After eight bits on the RX
pin or the fifth rising edge, an accumulated value totalling the proper BRG period is left in the
SPBRGHx:SPBRGx register pair. Once the 5th edge is
seen (this should correspond to the STOP bit), the
ABDEN bit is automatically cleared.
While calibrating the baud rate period, the BRG registers are clocked at 1/8th the preconfigured clock rate.
Note that the BRG clock will be configured by the
BRG16 and BRGH bits. Independent of the BRG16 bit
setting, both the SPBRGx and SPBRGHx will be used
as a 16-bit counter. This allows the user to verify that
FIGURE 19-1:
BRG Value
no carry occurred for 8-bit modes by checking for 00h
in the SPBRGHx register. Refer to Table 19-4 for
counter clock rates to the BRG.
While the ABD sequence takes place, the USART state
machine is held in IDLE. The RCIF interrupt is set once
the fifth rising edge on RX is detected. The value in the
RCREGx needs to be read to clear the RCIF interrupt.
RCREGx content should be discarded.
Note 1: If the WUE bit is set with the ABDEN bit,
auto baud rate detection will occur on the
byte following the Break character.
2: It is up to the user to determine that the
incoming character baud rate is within the
range of the selected BRG clock source.
Some combinations of oscillator frequency and USART baud rates are not
possible due to bit error rates. Overall
system timing and communication baud
rates must be taken into consideration
when using the auto baud rate detection
feature.

USART Asynchronous Mode
Once the TXREGx register transfers the data to the TSR
register (occurs in one TCY), the TXREGx register is
empty and flag bit TXIF (PIR1<4>) is set. This interrupt
can be enabled/disabled by setting/clearing enable bit
TXIE (PIE1<4>). Flag bit TXIF will be set regardless of
the state of enable bit TXIE and cannot be cleared in
software. Flag bit TXIF is not cleared immediately upon
loading the Transmit Buffer register, TXREGx. TXIF
becomes valid in the second instruction cycle following
the load instruction. Polling TXIF immediately following a
load of TXREGx will return invalid results.
The Asynchronous mode of operation is selected by
clearing the SYNC bit (TXSTAx<4>). In this mode, the
USART uses standard non-return-to-zero (NRZ) format
(one START bit, eight or nine data bits and one STOP
bit). The most common data format is 8 bits. An on-chip
dedicated 8-bit/16-bit baud rate generator can be used
to derive standard baud rate frequencies from the
oscillator.
The USART transmits and receives the LSb first. The
USART’s transmitter and receiver are functionally independent but use the same data format and baud rate.
The baud rate generator produces a clock, either x16
or x64 of the bit shift rate depending on the BRGH and
BRG16 bits (TXSTAx<2> and BAUDCONx<3>). Parity
is not supported by the hardware but can be
implemented in software and stored as the 9th data bit.
While flag bit TXIF indicates the status of the TXREGx
register, another bit, TRMT (TXSTAx<1>), shows the
status of the TSR register. Status bit TRMT is a read
only bit which is set when the TSR register is empty. No
interrupt logic is tied to this bit so the user has to poll
this bit in order to determine if the TSR register is
empty.
When operating in Asynchronous mode, the USART
module consists of the following important elements:

The USART transmitter block diagram is shown in

with new data from the TXREGx register (if available).

If interrupts are desired, set enable bit TXIE.
If 9-bit transmission is desired, set transmit bit
TX9. Can be used as address/data bit.
Enable the transmission by setting bit TXEN
which will also set bit TXIF.
If 9-bit transmission is selected, the ninth bit
should be loaded in bit TX9D.
Load data to the TXREGx register (starts

RECEIVER
19.2.3
The receiver block diagram is shown in Figure 19-5.
The data is received on the RXx pin and drives the data
recovery block. The data recovery block is actually a
high speed shifter operating at x16 times the baud rate,
whereas the main receive serial shifter operates at the
bit rate or at FOSC. This mode would typically be used
in RS-232 systems.
This mode would typically be used in RS-485 systems.
To set up an Asynchronous Reception with Address
Detect Enable:
1.
Initialize the SPBRGHx:SPBRGx registers for
the appropriate baud rate. Set or clear the
BRGH and BRG16 bits, as required, to achieve
the desired baud rate.
2. Enable the asynchronous serial port by clearing
the SYNC bit and setting the SPEN bit.
3. If interrupts are required, set the RCEN bit and
select the desired priority level with the RCIP bit.
4. Set the RX9 bit to enable 9-bit reception.
5. Set the ADDEN bit to enable address detect.
6. Enable reception by setting the CREN bit.
7. The RCIF bit will be set when reception is complete. The interrupt will be Acknowledged if the
RCIE and GIE bits are set.
8. Read the RCSTAx register to determine if any
error occurred during reception, as well as read
bit 9 of data (if applicable).
9. Read RCREGx to determine if the device is
being addressed.
10. If any error occurred, clear the CREN bit.
11. If the device has been addressed, clear the
ADDEN bit to allow all received data into the
receive buffer and interrupt the CPU.
To set up an Asynchronous Reception:
1.

19.2.4
AUTO WAKE-UP ON SYNC BREAK
CHARACTER
During SLEEP mode, all clocks to the USART are suspended. Because of this, the baud rate generator is
inactive and a proper byte reception cannot be performed. The auto wake-up feature allows the controller
to wake-up due to activity on the RX/DT line while the
USART is operating in Asynchronous mode.
The auto wake-up feature is enabled by setting the
WUE bit (BAUDCONx<1>). Once set, the typical
receive sequence on RX/DT is disabled, and the
USART remains in an IDLE state, monitoring for a
wake-up event independent of the CPU mode. A wakeup event consists of a high-to-low transition on the RX/
DT line. (This coincides with the start of a Sync Break
or a Wake-up Signal character for the LIN protocol.)
Following a wake-up event, the module generates an
RCIF interrupt. The interrupt is generated synchronously to the Q clocks in normal operating modes
(Figure 19-7) and asynchronously, if the device is in
SLEEP mode (Figure 19-8). The interrupt condition is
cleared by reading the RCREGx register.
The WUE bit is automatically cleared once a low-to-high
transition is observed on the RX line following the wakeup event. At this point, the USART module is in IDLE
mode and returns to normal operation. This signals to
the user that the Sync Break event is over.
19.2.4.1
Special Considerations Using Auto
Wake-up
Since auto wake-up functions by sensing rising edge
transitions on RX/DT, information with any state changes
before the STOP bit may signal a false end-of-character
FIGURE 19-7:
and cause data or framing errors. To work properly,
therefore, the initial character in the transmission must
be all ‘0’s. This can be 00h (8 bytes) for standard RS-232
devices, or 000h (12 bits) for LIN bus.
Oscillator start-up time must also be considered,
especially in applications using oscillators with longer
start-up intervals (i.e., XT or HS mode). The Sync
Break (or Wake-up Signal) character must be of sufficient length and be followed by a sufficient interval to
allow enough time for the selected oscillator to start
and provide proper initialization of the USART.
19.2.4.2
Special Considerations Using the
WUE Bit
The timing of WUE and RCIF events may cause some
confusion when it comes to determining the validity of
received data. As noted, setting the WUE bit places the
USART in an IDLE mode. The wake-up event causes a
receive interrupt by setting the RCIF bit. The WUE bit
is cleared after this when a rising edge is seen on RX/
DT. The interrupt condition is then cleared by reading
the RCREGx register. Ordinarily, the data in RCREGx
will be dummy data and should be discarded.
The fact that the WUE bit has been cleared (or is still
set) and the RCIF flag is set should not be used as an
indicator of the integrity of the data in RCREGx. Users
should consider implementing a parallel method in
firmware to verify received data integrity.
To assure that no actual data is lost, check the RCIDL
bit to verify that a receive operation is not in process. If
a receive operation is not occurring, the WUE bit may
then be set just prior to entering the SLEEP mode.

19.2.5
BREAK CHARACTER SEQUENCE
The enhanced USART module has the capability of
sending the special Break character sequences that
are required by the LIN bus standard. The Break character transmit consists of a START bit, followed by
twelve ‘0’ bits and a STOP bit. The frame Break character is sent whenever the SENDB and TXEN bits
(TXSTAx<3> and TXSTAx<5>) are set while the Transmit Shift register is loaded with data. Note that the value
of data written to TXREGx will be ignored and all ‘0’s
will be transmitted.
The SENDB bit is automatically reset by hardware after
the corresponding STOP bit is sent. This allows the
user to preload the transmit FIFO with the next transmit
byte following the Break character (typically, the Sync
character in the LIN specification).
Note that the data value written to the TXREGx for the
Break character is ignored. The write simply serves the
purpose of initiating the proper sequence.
The TRMT bit indicates when the transmit operation is
active or IDLE, just as it does during normal transmission. See Figure 19-9 for the timing of the Break
character sequence.
19.2.5.1
Break and Sync Transmit Sequence
The following sequence will send a message frame
header made up of a Break, followed by an auto baud
Sync byte. This sequence is typical of a LIN bus
master.

Load the TXREGx with a dummy character to
initiate transmission (the value is ignored).
Write ‘55h’ to TXREGx to load the Sync
character into the transmit FIFO buffer.
After the Break has been sent, the SENDB bit is
reset by hardware. The Sync character now
transmits in the preconfigured mode.
When the TXREGx becomes empty, as indicated by
the TXIF, the next data byte can be written to TXREGx.
19.2.6
RECEIVING A BREAK CHARACTER
The Enhanced USART module can receive a Break
character in two ways.
The first method forces configuration of the baud rate
at a frequency of 9/13 the typical speed. This allows for
the STOP bit transition to be at the correct sampling
location (13 bits for Break versus START bit and 8 data
bits for typical data).
The second method uses the auto wake-up feature
described in Section 19.2.4. By enabling this feature,
the USART will sample the next two transitions on RX/
DT, cause an RCIF interrupt, and receive the next data
byte followed by another interrupt.
Note that following a Break character, the user will typically want to enable the auto baud rate detect feature.
For both methods, the user can set the ABD bit once
the TXIF interrupt is observed.

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

The USART transmitter block diagram is shown in
Figure 19-2. The heart of the transmitter is the Transmit
(Serial) Shift Register (TSR). The Shift register obtains
its data from the Read/Write Transmit Buffer register,
TXREGx. The TXREGx register is loaded with data in
software. The TSR register is not loaded until the last
bit has been transmitted from the previous load. As
soon as the last bit is transmitted, the TSR is loaded
with new data from the TXREGx (if available).

Initialize the SPBRGHx:SPBRGx registers for
the appropriate baud rate. Set or clear the
BRG16 bit, as required, to achieve the desired
baud rate.
Enable the synchronous master serial port by
setting bits SYNC, SPEN, and CSRC.
If interrupts are desired, set enable bit TXIE.
If 9-bit transmission is desired, set bit TX9.
Enable the transmission by setting bit TXEN.
If 9-bit transmission is selected, the ninth bit
should be loaded in bit TX9D.
Start transmission by loading data to the
TXREGx register.
If using interrupts, ensure that the GIE and PEIE
bits in the INTCON register (INTCON<7:6>) are
set.

Ensure bits CREN and SREN are clear.
If interrupts are desired, set enable bit RCIE.
If 9-bit reception is desired, set bit RX9.
If a single reception is required, set bit SREN.
For continuous reception, set bit CREN.
7. Interrupt flag bit RCIF will be set when reception
is complete and an interrupt will be generated if
the enable bit RCIE was set.
8. Read the RCSTAx register to get the 9th bit (if
enabled) and determine if any error occurred
during reception.
9. Read the 8-bit received data by reading the
RCREGx register.
10. If any error occurred, clear the error by clearing
bit CREN.
11. If using interrupts, ensure that the GIE and PEIE
bits in the INTCON register (INTCON<7:6>) are
set.
Once Synchronous mode is selected, reception is
enabled by setting either the Single Receive Enable bit,
SREN (RCSTAx<5>), or the Continuous Receive
Enable bit, CREN (RCSTAx<4>). Data is sampled on
the RXx pin on the falling edge of the clock.
If enable bit SREN is set, only a single word is received.
If enable bit CREN is set, the reception is continuous
until CREN is cleared. If both bits are set, then CREN
takes precedence.

USART Synchronous Slave Mode
To set up a Synchronous Slave Transmission:
1.
Synchronous Slave mode is entered by clearing bit
CSRC (TXSTAx<7>). This mode differs from the Synchronous Master mode in that the shift clock is supplied
externally at the CKx pin (instead of being supplied
internally in Master mode). This allows the device to
transfer or receive data while in any Low Power mode.

6.
The operation of the Synchronous Master and Slave
modes are identical except in the case of the SLEEP
mode.
7.
If two words are written to the TXREGx and then the
SLEEP instruction is executed, the following will occur:
8.
a)
b)
c)
d)
e)
The first word will immediately transfer to the
TSR register and transmit.
The second word will remain in TXREGx
register.
Flag bit TXIF will not be set.
When the first word has been shifted out of TSR,
the TXREGx register will transfer the second
word to the TSR and flag bit TXIF will now be
set.
If enable bit TXIE is set, the interrupt will wake
the chip from SLEEP. If the global interrupt is
enabled, the program will branch to the interrupt
vector.

RECEPTION
To set up a Synchronous Slave Reception:
1.
The operation of the Synchronous Master and Slave
modes is identical except in the case of SLEEP or any
IDLE mode and bit SREN, which is a “don't care” in
Slave mode.
2.

If receive is enabled by setting the CREN bit prior to
entering SLEEP or any IDLE mode, then a word may
be received while in this Low Power mode. Once the
word is received, the RSR register will transfer the data
to the RCREGx register; if the RCIE enable bit is set,
the interrupt generated will wake the chip from Low
Power mode. If the global interrupt is enabled, the
program will branch to the interrupt vector.
6.
7.
8.
9.
Enable the synchronous master serial port by
setting bits SYNC and SPEN and clearing bit
CSRC.
If interrupts are desired, set enable bit RCIE.
If 9-bit reception is desired, set bit RX9.
To enable reception, set enable bit CREN.
Flag bit RCIF will be set when reception is complete. An interrupt will be generated if enable bit
RCIE was set.
Read the RCSTAx register to get the 9th bit (if
enabled) and determine if any error occurred
during reception.
Read the 8-bit received data by reading the

10-BIT ANALOG-TO-DIGITAL
CONVERTER (A/D) MODULE
The module has five registers:
•
•
•
•
•
The analog-to-digital (A/D) converter module has 12
inputs for the PIC18F6X2X devices and 16 for the
PIC18F8X2X devices. This module allows conversion
of an analog input signal to a corresponding 10-bit
digital number.
The ADCON0 register, shown in Register 20-1, controls the operation of the A/D module. The ADCON1
register, shown in Register 20-2, configures the functions of the port pins. The ADCON2, shown in
Register 20-3, configures the A/D clock source,
justification and auto-acquisition time.
A new feature for the A/D converter is the addition of programmable acquisition time. This feature allows the user
to select a new channel for conversion and setting the
GO/DONE bit immediately. When the GO/DONE bit is
set, the selected channel is sampled for the programmed acquisition time before a conversion is actually started. This removes the firmware overhead that
may have been required to allow for an acquisition
(sampling) period (see Register 20-3 and Section 20.4).

The analog reference voltage is software selectable to
either the device’s positive and negative supply voltage
(VDD and VSS), or the voltage level on the
RA3/AN3/VREF+ pin and RA2/AN2/VREF- pin.
A device RESET forces all registers to their RESET
state. This forces the A/D module to be turned off and
any conversion is aborted.
Each port pin associated with the A/D converter can be
configured as an analog input (RA3 can also be a voltage reference), or as a digital I/O. The ADRESH and
ADRESL registers contain the result of the A/D conversion. When the A/D conversion is complete, the result
is loaded into the ADRESH/ADRESL registers, the
GO/DONE bit (ADCON0 register) is cleared, and A/D
interrupt flag bit, ADIF, is set. The block diagram of the
A/D module is shown in Figure 20-1.
The A/D converter has a unique feature of being able
to operate while the device is in SLEEP mode. To operate in SLEEP, the A/D conversion clock must be
derived from the A/D’s internal RC oscillator.
The output of the sample and hold is the input into the
converter which generates the result via successive
approximation.

A/D Acquisition Requirements
For the A/D converter to meet its specified accuracy,
the charge holding capacitor (CHOLD) must be allowed
to fully charge to the input channel voltage level. The
analog input model is shown in Figure 20-2. 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). The source impedance affects the offset voltage
at the analog input (due to pin leakage current). The
maximum recommended impedance for analog
sources is 2.5 kΩ. After the analog input channel is
selected (changed), this acquisition must be done
before the conversion can be started.

Selecting the A/D Conversion
Clock
20.4
Figure 20-3 shows the operation of the A/D converter
after the GO bit has been set. Clearing the GO/DONE
bit during a conversion will abort the current conversion. The A/D result register pair will NOT be updated
with the partially completed A/D conversion sample.
That is, the ADRESH:ADRESL registers will continue
to contain the value of the last completed conversion
(or the last value written to the ADRESH:ADRESL registers). After the A/D conversion is aborted, a 2 TAD wait
is required before the next acquisition is started. After
this 2 TAD wait, acquisition on the selected channel is
automatically started.
The A/D conversion time per bit is defined as TAD. The
A/D conversion requires 12 TAD per 10-bit conversion.
The source of the A/D conversion clock is software
selectable. There are seven possible options for TAD:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
2 TOSC
4 TOSC
8 TOSC
16 TOSC
32 TOSC
64 TOSC
Internal RC oscillator
Note:
For correct A/D conversions, the A/D conversion clock
(TAD) must be selected to ensure a minimum TAD time
of 1.6 µs.
20.5
Table 20-1 shows the resultant TAD times derived from
the device operating frequencies and the A/D clock
source selected.
20.3
A/D Conversions
The GO/DONE bit should NOT be set in
the same instruction that turns on the A/D.
Use of the ECCP2 Trigger
An A/D conversion can be started by the special event
trigger of the ECCP2 module. This requires that the
CCP2M3:CCP2M0 bits (CCP2CON<3:0>) be programmed as ‘1011’ and that the A/D module is enabled
(ADON bit is set). When the trigger occurs, the
GO/DONE bit will be set, starting the A/D conversion,
and the Timer1 (or Timer3) counter will be reset to zero.
Timer1 (or Timer3) is reset to automatically repeat the
A/D acquisition period with minimal software overhead
(moving ADRESH/ADRESL to the desired location).
The appropriate analog input channel must be selected
and the minimum acquisition done before the special
event trigger sets the GO/DONE bit and starts a
conversion.
Configuring Analog Port Pins
The ADCON1, TRISA, TRISF and TRISH registers control the operation of the A/D port pins. The port pins
needed as analog inputs must have their corresponding
TRIS bits set (input). If the TRIS bit is cleared (output),
the digital output level (VOH or VOL) will be converted.
The A/D operation is independent of the state of the
CHS3:CHS0 bits and the TRIS bits.
Note 1: When reading the port register, all pins
configured as analog input channels will
read as cleared (a low level). Pins configured as digital inputs will convert an analog input. Analog levels on a digitally
configured input will not affect the
conversion accuracy.
If the A/D module is not enabled (ADON is cleared), the
special event trigger will be ignored by the A/D module
but will still reset the Timer1 (or Timer3) counter.
2: Analog levels on any pin defined as a digital input may cause the input buffer to
consume current out of the device’s
specification limits.

Comparator Operation
INTERNAL REFERENCE SIGNAL
A single comparator is shown in Figure 21-2, along with
the relationship between the analog input levels and
the digital output. When the analog input at VIN+ is less
than the analog input VIN-, the output of the comparator
is a digital low level. When the analog input at VIN+ is
greater than the analog input VIN-, the output of the
comparator is a digital high level. The shaded areas of
the output of the comparator in Figure 21-2 represent
the uncertainty due to input offsets and response time.
The comparator module also allows the selection of an
internally generated voltage reference for the
comparators. Section 22.0 contains a detailed
description of the comparator voltage reference
module that provides this signal. The internal reference
signal is used when comparators are in mode
CM<2:0> = 110 (Figure 21-1). In this mode, the
internal voltage reference is applied to the VIN+ pin of
both comparators.
21.3
21.4
Comparator Reference
An external or internal reference signal may be used
depending on the comparator operating mode. The
analog signal present at VIN- is compared to the signal
at VIN+, and the digital output of the comparator is
adjusted accordingly (Figure 21-2).
FIGURE 21-2:
SINGLE COMPARATOR
Response time is the minimum time, after selecting a
new reference voltage or input source, before the
comparator output has a valid level. If the internal reference is changed, the maximum delay of the internal
voltage reference must be considered when using the
comparator outputs. Otherwise, the maximum delay of
the comparators should be used (Section 27.0).

Comparator Outputs
The comparator outputs are read through the CMCON
register. These bits are read only. The comparator
outputs may also be directly output to the RF1 and RF2
I/O pins. When enabled, multiplexors in the output path
of the RF1 and RF2 pins will switch and the output of
each pin will be the unsynchronized output of the comparator. The uncertainty of each of the comparators is
related to the input offset voltage and the response time
given in the specifications. Figure 21-3 shows the
comparator output block diagram.
The TRISA bits will still function as an output enable/
disable for the RF1 and RF2 pins while in this mode.
The polarity of the comparator outputs can be changed
using the C2INV and C1INV bits (CMCON<4:5>).

EXTERNAL REFERENCE SIGNAL
When external voltage references are used, the
comparator module can be configured to have the comparators operate from the same, or different reference
sources. However, threshold detector applications may
require the same reference. The reference signal must
be between VSS and VDD and can be applied to either
pin of the comparator(s).

Note 1: When reading the Port register, all pins

convert an analog input according to the

Comparator Interrupts
Note:
The comparator interrupt flag is set whenever there is
a change in the output value of either comparator.
Software will need to maintain information about the
status of the output bits, as read from CMCON<7:6>, to
determine the actual change that occurred. The CMIF
bit (PIR registers) is the comparator interrupt flag. The
CMIF bit must be reset by clearing ‘0’. Since it is also
possible to write a ‘1’ to this register, a simulated
interrupt may be initiated.
The CMIE bit (PIE registers) and the PEIE bit (INTCON
register) must be set to enable the interrupt. In addition,
the GIE bit must also be set. If any of these bits are

DS39612A-page 246
If a change in the CMCON register
(C1OUT or C2OUT) should occur when a
read operation is being executed (start of
the Q2 cycle), then the CMIF (PIR
registers) interrupt flag may not get set.
The user, in the Interrupt Service Routine, can clear the
interrupt in the following manner:
a)
b)
Any read or write of CMCON will end the
mismatch condition.
Clear flag bit CMIF.
A mismatch condition will continue to set flag bit CMIF.
Reading CMCON will end the mismatch condition and
allow flag bit CMIF to be cleared.

Comparator Operation During
SLEEP
21.9
When a comparator is active and the device is placed
in SLEEP mode, the comparator remains active and
the interrupt is functional if enabled. This interrupt will
wake-up the device from SLEEP mode when enabled.
While the comparator is powered up, higher SLEEP
currents than shown in the power-down current
specification will occur. Each operational comparator
will consume additional current, as shown in the comparator specifications. To minimize power consumption
while in SLEEP mode, turn off the comparators,
CM<2:0> = 111, before entering SLEEP. If the device
wakes up from SLEEP, the contents of the CMCON
register are not affected.
21.8
Analog Input Connection
Considerations
A simplified circuit for an analog input is shown in
Figure 21-4. Since the analog pins are connected to a
digital output, they have reverse biased diodes to VDD
and VSS. The analog input, therefore, must be between
VSS and VDD. If the input voltage deviates from this
range by more than 0.6V in either direction, one of the
diodes is forward biased and a latchup condition may
occur. A maximum source impedance of 10 kΩ is
recommended for the analog sources. Any external
component connected to an analog input pin, such as
a capacitor or a Zener diode, should have very little
leakage current.
Effects of a RESET
A device RESET forces the CMCON register to its
RESET state, causing the comparator module to be in
the comparator RESET mode, CM<2:0> = 000. This
ensures that all potential inputs are analog inputs.
Device current is minimized when analog inputs are
present at RESET time. The comparators will be
powered down during the RESET interval.

COMPARATOR VOLTAGE
REFERENCE MODULE
22.1
The comparator voltage reference is a 16-tap resistor
ladder network that provides a selectable voltage reference. The resistor ladder is segmented to provide two
ranges of CVREF values and has a power-down function to conserve power when the reference is not being
used. The CVRCON register controls the operation of
the reference as shown in Register 22-1. The block
diagram is given in Figure 22-1.
The comparator reference supply voltage can come
from either VDD and VSS, or the external VREF+ and
VREF- that are multiplexed with RA3 and RA2. The
comparator reference supply voltage is controlled by
the CVRSS bit.
REGISTER 22-1:
Configuring the Comparator
Voltage Reference
The comparator voltage reference can output 16
distinct voltage levels for each range. The equations
used to calculate the output of the comparator voltage
reference are as follows:
If CVRR = 1:
CVREF = (CVR<3:0>/24) x CVRSRC
If CVRR = 0:
CVREF = (CVDD x 1/4) + (CVR<3:0>/32) x CVRSRC
The settling time of the comparator voltage reference
must be considered when changing the CVREF output
(Section 27.0).

Voltage Reference Accuracy/Error
22.4
Effects of a RESET
The full range of voltage reference cannot be realized
due to the construction of the module. The transistors
on the top and bottom of the resistor ladder network
(Figure 22-1) keep CVREF from approaching the reference source rails. The voltage reference is derived
from the reference source; therefore, the CVREF output
changes with fluctuations in that source. The tested
absolute accuracy of the voltage reference can be
found in Section 27.0.
A device RESET disables the voltage reference by
clearing bit CVREN (CVRCON<7>). This RESET also
disconnects the reference from the RA2 pin by clearing
bit CVROE (CVRCON<6>) and selects the high voltage range by clearing bit CVRR (CVRCON<5>). The
VRSS value select bits, CVRCON<3:0>, are also
cleared.
22.3
The voltage reference module operates independently
of the comparator module. The output of the reference
generator may be connected to the RF5 pin if the
TRISF<5> bit is set and the CVROE bit is set. Enabling
the voltage reference output onto the RF5 pin with an
input signal present will increase current consumption.
Connecting RF5 as a digital output with VRSS enabled
will also increase current consumption.
Operation During SLEEP
When the device wakes up from SLEEP through an
interrupt or a Watchdog Timer time-out, the contents of
the CVRCON register are not affected. To minimize
current consumption in SLEEP mode, the voltage
reference should be disabled.
22.5
Connection Considerations
The RF5 pin can be used as a simple D/A output with
limited drive capability. Due to the limited current drive
capability, a buffer must be used on the voltage reference output for external connections to VREF.
Figure 22-2 shows an example buffering technique.

LOW VOLTAGE DETECT
In many applications, the ability to determine if the
device voltage (VDD) is below a specified voltage level
is a desirable feature. A window of operation for the
application can be created, where the application software can do “housekeeping tasks” before the device
voltage exits the valid operating range. This can be
done using the Low Voltage Detect module.
This module is a software programmable circuitry,
where a device voltage trip point can be specified.
When the voltage of the device becomes lower then the
specified point, an interrupt flag is set. If the interrupt is
enabled, the program execution will branch to the interrupt vector address and the software can then respond
to that interrupt source.
Figure 23-1 shows a possible application voltage curve
(typically for batteries). Over time, the device voltage
decreases. When the device voltage equals voltage VA,
the LVD logic generates an interrupt. This occurs at
time TA. The application software then has the time,
until the device voltage is no longer in valid operating
range, to shutdown the system. Voltage point VB is the
minimum valid operating voltage specification. This
occurs at time TB. The difference TB – TA is the total
time for shut-down.
TYPICAL LOW VOLTAGE DETECT APPLICATION

The Low Voltage Detect circuitry is completely under

The block diagram for the LVD module is shown in
Figure 23-2. A comparator uses an internally generated reference voltage as the set point. When the
selected tap output of the device voltage crosses the
set point (is lower than), the LVDIF bit is set.
Each node in the resistor divider represents a “trip
point” voltage. The “trip point” voltage is the minimum
supply voltage level at which the device can operate
before the LVD module asserts an interrupt. When the
 2003 Microchip Technology Inc.
supply voltage is equal to the trip point, the voltage
tapped off of the resistor array is equal to the 1.2V
internal reference voltage generated by the voltage
reference module. The comparator then generates an
interrupt signal setting the LVDIF bit. This voltage is
software programmable to any one of 16 values (see
Figure 23-2). The trip point is selected by
programming the LVDL3:LVDL0 bits (LVDCON<3:0>).

Operation
The following steps are needed to set up the LVD
module:
Depending on the power source for the device voltage,
the voltage normally decreases relatively slowly. This
means that the LVD module does not need to be constantly operating. To decrease the current requirements, the LVD circuitry only needs to be enabled for
short periods where the voltage is checked. After doing
the check, the LVD module may be disabled.
1.
2.
3.
Each time that the LVD module is enabled, the circuitry
requires some time to stabilize. After the circuitry has
stabilized, all status flags may be cleared. The module
will then indicate the proper state of the system.
4.
5.
6.
Write the value to the LVDL3:LVDL0 bits
(LVDCON register) which selects the desired
LVD trip point.
Ensure that LVD interrupts are disabled (the
LVDIE bit is cleared or the GIE bit is cleared).
Enable the LVD module (set the LVDEN bit in
the LVDCON register).
Wait for the LVD module to stabilize (the IRVST
bit to become set).
Clear the LVD interrupt flag, which may have
falsely become set, until the LVD module has
stabilized (clear the LVDIF bit).
Enable the LVD interrupt (set the LVDIE and the
GIE bits).
Figure 23-4 shows typical waveforms that the LVD
module may be used to detect.

REFERENCE VOLTAGE SET POINT
The internal reference voltage of the LVD module, specified in electrical specification parameter #D423, may be
used by other internal circuitry (the Programmable
Brown-out Reset). If these circuits are disabled (lower
current consumption), the reference voltage circuit
requires a time to become stable before a low voltage
condition can be reliably detected. This time is invariant
of system clock speed. This start-up time is specified in
electrical specification parameter #36. The low voltage
interrupt flag will not be enabled until a stable reference
voltage is reached. Refer to the waveform in Figure 23-4.
23.2.2
23.3
Operation During SLEEP
When enabled, the LVD circuitry continues to operate
during SLEEP. If the device voltage crosses the trip
point, the LVDIF bit will be set and the device will
wake-up from SLEEP. Device execution will continue
from the interrupt vector address if interrupts have
been globally enabled.
23.4
Effects of a RESET
A device RESET forces all registers to their RESET
state. This forces the LVD module to be turned off.
CURRENT CONSUMPTION
When the module is enabled, the LVD comparator and
voltage divider are enabled and will consume static current. The voltage divider can be tapped from multiple
places in the resistor array. Total current consumption,
when enabled, is specified in electrical specification
parameter #D022B.

SPECIAL FEATURES OF THE
CPU
There are several features intended to maximize system reliability, minimize cost through elimination of
external components, provide power saving operating
modes and offer code protection. These are:
• OSC Selection
• RESET
- Power-on Reset (POR)
- Power-up Timer (PWRT)
- Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST)
- Brown-out Reset (BOR)
• Interrupts
• Watchdog Timer (WDT)
• SLEEP
• Code Protection
• ID Locations
• In-Circuit Serial Programming
All PIC18F6X2X/8X2X devices have a Watchdog Timer
which is permanently enabled via the configuration bits,
or software controlled. It runs off its own RC oscillator
for added reliability. There are two timers that offer necessary delays on power-up. One is the Oscillator Startup Timer (OST), intended to keep the chip in RESET
until the crystal oscillator is stable. The other is the
Power-up Timer (PWRT) which provides a fixed delay
on power-up only, designed to keep the part in RESET
while the power supply stabilizes. With these two timers on-chip, most applications need no external
RESET circuitry.
24.1
Configuration Bits
The configuration bits can be programmed (read as ‘0’)
or left unprogrammed (read as ‘1’), to select various
device configurations. These bits are mapped, starting
at program memory location 300000h.
The user will note that address 300000h is beyond the
user program memory space. In fact, it belongs to the
configuration memory space (300000h through
3FFFFFh) which can only be accessed using table
reads and table writes.
Programming the Configuration registers is done in a
manner similar to programming the FLASH memory.
The EECON1 register WR bit starts a self-timed write
to the Configuration register. In normal operation mode,
a TBLWT instruction, with the TBLPTR pointed to the
Configuration register, sets up the address and the
data for the Configuration register write. Setting the WR
bit starts a long write to the Configuration register. The
Configuration registers are written a byte at a time. To
write or erase a configuration cell, a TBLWT instruction
can write a ‘1’ or a ‘0’ into the cell.
SLEEP mode is designed to offer a very low current
power-down mode. The user can wake-up from SLEEP
through external RESET, Watchdog Timer wake-up, or
through an interrupt. Several oscillator options are also
made available to allow the part to fit the application.
The RC oscillator option saves system cost, while the
LP crystal option saves power. A set of configuration
bits are used to select various options.

24.2
Watchdog Timer (WDT)
The Watchdog Timer is a free running on-chip RC
oscillator which does not require any external
components. This RC oscillator is separate from the
RC oscillator of the OSC1/CLKI pin. That means that
the WDT will run even if the clock on the OSC1/CLKI
and OSC2/CLKO/RA6 pins of the device has been
stopped, for example, by execution of a SLEEP
instruction.
The WDT time-out period values may be found in the
Electrical Specifications section under parameter #31.
Values for the WDT postscaler may be assigned using
the configuration bits.
Note 1: The CLRWDT and SLEEP instructions
clear the WDT and the postscaler if
assigned to the WDT and prevent it from
timing out and generating a device
RESET condition.
2: When a CLRWDT instruction is executed
and the postscaler is assigned to the
WDT, the postscaler count will be cleared
but the postscaler assignment is not
changed.
During normal operation, a WDT time-out generates a
device RESET (Watchdog Timer Reset). If the device is
in SLEEP mode, a WDT time-out causes the device to
wake-up and continue with normal operation (Watchdog Timer wake-up). The TO bit in the RCON register
will be cleared upon a WDT time-out.
The Watchdog Timer is enabled or disabled by a device
configuration bit, WDTEN (CONFIG2H<0>). If WDTEN
is set, software execution may not disable this function.
When WDTEN is cleared, the SWDTEN bit enables or
disables the operation of the WDT.
24.2.1
CONTROL REGISTER
Register 24-15 shows the WDTCON register. This is a
readable and writable register which contains a control

configuration bit only when the configuration bit has

24.3
Power-down Mode (SLEEP)
Power-down mode is entered by executing a SLEEP
instruction.
If enabled, the Watchdog Timer will be cleared but
keeps running, the PD bit (RCON<3>) is cleared, the
TO (RCON<4>) bit is set, and the oscillator driver is
turned off. The I/O ports maintain the status they had
before the SLEEP instruction was executed (driving
high, low, or hi-impedance).
For lowest current consumption in this mode, place all
I/O pins at either VDD or VSS, ensure no external circuitry is drawing current from the I/O pin, power-down
the A/D and disable external clocks. Pull all I/O pins
that are hi-impedance inputs, 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 (VIHMC).
24.3.1
3.
When the SLEEP instruction is being executed, the next
instruction (PC + 2) 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 and then branches to the interrupt address. In cases where the execution of the
instruction following SLEEP is not desirable, the user
should have a NOP after the SLEEP instruction.
24.3.2
WAKE-UP FROM SLEEP
The device can wake-up from SLEEP through one of
the following events:
1.
2.
External MCLR Reset will cause a device RESET. All
other events are considered a continuation of program
execution and will cause a “wake-up”. The TO and PD
bits in the RCON register can be used to determine the
cause of the device RESET. The PD bit, which is set on
power-up, is cleared when SLEEP is invoked. The TO
bit is cleared if a WDT time-out occurred (and caused
wake-up).
External RESET input on MCLR pin.
Watchdog Timer wake-up (if WDT was
enabled).
Interrupt from INT pin, RB port change or a
peripheral interrupt.
The following peripheral interrupts can wake the device
from SLEEP:
1.
2.
PSP read or write.
TMR1 interrupt. Timer1 must be operating as an
asynchronous counter.
3. TMR3 interrupt. Timer3 must be operating as an
asynchronous counter.
4. CCP Capture mode interrupt.
5. Special event trigger (Timer1 in Asynchronous
mode using an external clock).
6. MSSP (START/STOP) bit detect interrupt.
7. MSSP transmit or receive in Slave mode
(SPI/I2C).
8. USART RX or TX (Synchronous Slave mode).
9. A/D conversion (when A/D clock source is RC).
10. EEPROM write operation complete.
11. LVD interrupt.
WAKE-UP USING INTERRUPTS
When global interrupts are disabled (GIE cleared) and
any interrupt source has both its interrupt enable bit
and interrupt flag bit set, one of the following will occur:
• If an interrupt condition (interrupt flag bit and
interrupt enable bits are set) occurs before the
execution of a SLEEP instruction, the SLEEP
instruction will complete as a NOP. Therefore, the
WDT and WDT postscaler will not be cleared, the
TO bit will not be set and PD bits will not be
cleared.
• If the interrupt condition 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 postscaler will be cleared, the TO bit will be
set and the PD bit will be cleared.
Even if the flag bits were checked before executing a
SLEEP instruction, it may be possible for flag bits to
become set before the SLEEP instruction completes. To
determine whether a SLEEP instruction executed, test
the PD bit. If the PD bit is set, the SLEEP instruction
was executed as a NOP.
To ensure that the WDT is cleared, a CLRWDT
instruction should be executed before a SLEEP
instruction.
Other peripherals cannot generate interrupts since
during SLEEP, no on-chip clocks are present.

Program Verification and
Code Protection
Each of the blocks has three code protection bits
associated with them. They are:
The overall structure of the code protection on the
PIC18 FLASH devices differs significantly from other
PICmicro® devices.
• Code Protect bit (CPn)
• Write Protect bit (WRTn)
• External Block Table Read bit (EBTRn)
The user program memory is divided on binary boundaries into four blocks of 16 Kbytes each. The first block is
further divided into a boot block of 2048 bytes and a
second block (Block 0) of 14 Kbytes.
Figure 24-3 shows the program memory organization
for 48 and 64-Kbyte devices and the specific code
protection bit associated with each block. The actual
locations of the bits are summarized in Table 24-3.

read instruction that executes from a location outside of
that block is not allowed to read and will result in reading ‘0’s. Figures 24-4 through 24-6 illustrate table write

In user mode, the CPn bits have no direct effect. CPn
bits inhibit external reads and writes. A block of user

DATA EEPROM CODE
PROTECTION
The entire data EEPROM is protected from external
reads and writes by two bits: CPD and WRTD. CPD
inhibits external reads and writes of data EEPROM.
WRTD inhibits external writes to data EEPROM. The
CPU can continue to read and write data EEPROM
regardless of the protection bit settings.
24.4.3
CONFIGURATION REGISTER
PROTECTION
The Configuration registers can be write protected. The
WRTC bit controls protection of the Configuration registers. In user mode, the WRTC bit is readable only. WRTC
can only be written via ICSP or an external programmer.
24.5
ID Locations
Eight memory locations (200000h - 200007h) are designated as ID locations where the user can store checksum or other code identification numbers. These
locations are accessible during normal execution
through the TBLRD and TBLWT instructions, or during
program/verify. The ID locations can be read when the
device is code protected.
24.6
In-Circuit Serial Programming
PIC18F6X2X/8X2X microcontrollers can be serially
programmed while in the end application circuit. This is
simply done with two lines for clock and data, and three
other lines for power, ground and the programming
voltage. This allows customers to manufacture boards
with unprogrammed devices and then program the
microcontroller just before shipping the product. This
also allows the most recent firmware or a custom
firmware to be programmed.
24.7
In-Circuit Debugger
When the DEBUG bit in Configuration register,
CONFIG4L, is programmed to a ‘0’, the in-circuit
debugger functionality is enabled. This function allows
simple debugging functions when used with MPLAB®
IDE. When the microcontroller has this feature
enabled, some of the resources are not available for
general use. Table 24-4 shows which features are
consumed by the background debugger.

DS39612A-page 276
To use the in-circuit debugger function of the microcontroller, the design must implement In-Circuit Serial Programming connections to MCLR/VPP, VDD, GND, RB7
and RB6. This will interface to the in-circuit debugger
module available from Microchip or one of the third
party development tool companies.
24.8
Low Voltage ICSP Programming
The LVP bit Configuration register, CONFIG4L,
enables low voltage ICSP programming. This mode
allows the microcontroller to be programmed via ICSP
using a VDD source in the operating voltage range. This
only means that VPP does not have to be brought to
VIHH, but can instead be left at the normal operating
voltage. In this mode, the RB5/PGM pin is dedicated to
the programming function and ceases to be a general
purpose I/O pin. During programming, VDD is applied to
the MCLR/VPP pin. To enter Programming mode, VDD
must be applied to the RB5/PGM pin provided the LVP
bit is set. The LVP bit defaults to a (‘1’) from the factory.
Note 1: The High Voltage Programming mode is
always available, regardless of the state
of the LVP bit, by applying VIHH to the
MCLR pin.
2: While in Low Voltage ICSP mode, the
RB5 pin can no longer be used as a general purpose I/O pin, and should be held
low during normal operation.
3: When using low voltage ICSP programming (LVP) and the pull-ups on PORTB
are enabled, bit 5 in the TRISB register
must be cleared to disable the pull-up on
RB5 and ensure the proper operation of
the device.
4: If the device Master Clear is disabled,
verify that either of the following is done to
ensure proper entry into ICSP mode:
a.) disable low voltage programming
(CONFIG4L<2> = 0); or
b.) make certain that RB5/PGM is held
low during entry into ICSP.
If Low Voltage Programming mode is not used, the LVP
bit can be programmed to a ‘0’ and RB5/PGM becomes
a digital I/O pin. However, the LVP bit may only be programmed when programming is entered with VIHH on
MCLR/VPP.
It should be noted that once the LVP bit is programmed
to ‘0’, only the High Voltage Programming mode is
available and only High Voltage Programming mode
can be used to program the device.
When using low voltage ICSP, the part must be supplied 4.5V to 5.5V if a bulk erase will be executed. This
includes reprogramming of the code protect bits from
an on-state to off-state. For all other cases of low voltage ICSP, the part may be programmed at the normal
operating voltage. This means unique user IDs or user
code can be reprogrammed or added.

INSTRUCTION SET SUMMARY
The PIC18 instruction set adds many enhancements to
the previous PICmicro instruction sets, while maintaining an easy migration from these PICmicro instruction
sets.
Most instructions are a single program memory word
(16 bits), but there are three instructions that require
two program memory locations.
Each single word instruction is a 16-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 instruction set is highly orthogonal and is grouped
into four basic categories:
•
•
•
•
Byte-oriented operations
Bit-oriented operations
Literal operations
Control operations
The PIC18 instruction set summary in Table 25-2 lists
byte-oriented, bit-oriented, literal and control
operations. Table 25-1 shows the opcode field
descriptions.
Most byte-oriented instructions have three operands:
1.
2.
3.
The literal instructions may use some of the following
operands:
• A literal value to be loaded into a file register
(specified by ‘k’)
• The desired FSR register to load the literal value
into (specified by ‘f’)
• No operand required
(specified by ‘—’)
The control instructions may use some of the following
operands:
• A program memory address (specified by ‘n’)
• The mode of the call or return instructions
(specified by ‘s’)
• The mode of the table read and table write
instructions (specified by ‘m’)
• No operand required
(specified by ‘—’)
All instructions are a single word, except for three
double-word instructions. These three instructions
were made double-word instructions so that all the
required information is available in these 32 bits. In the
second word, the 4 MSbs are ‘1’s. If this second word
is executed as an instruction (by itself), it will execute
as a NOP.
All single word instructions are executed in a single
instruction cycle unless a conditional test is true, or the
program counter is changed as a result of the instruction. In these cases, the execution takes two instruction
cycles with the additional instruction cycle(s) executed
as a NOP.
The file register (specified by ‘f’)
The destination of the result
(specified by ‘d’)
The accessed memory
(specified by ‘a’)
The file register designator ‘f’ specifies which file register is to be used by the instruction.
The destination designator ‘d’ specifies where the
result of the operation is to be placed. If ‘d’ is zero, the
result is placed in the WREG register. If ‘d’ is one, the
result is placed in the file register specified in the
instruction.
The double-word instructions execute in two instruction
cycles.
All bit-oriented instructions have three operands:
One instruction cycle consists of four oscillator periods.
Thus, for an oscillator frequency of 4 MHz, the normal
instruction execution time is 1 µs. If a conditional test is
true or the program counter is changed as a result of an
instruction, the instruction execution time is 2 µs.
Two-word branch instructions (if true) would take 3 µs.
1.
2.
Figure 25-1 shows the general formats that the
instructions can have.
3.
The file register (specified by ‘f’)
The bit in the file register
(specified by ‘b’)
The accessed memory
(specified by ‘a’)
All examples use the format ‘nnh’ to represent a hexadecimal number, where ‘h’ signifies a hexadecimal
digit.
The bit field designator ‘b’ selects the number of the bit
affected by the operation, while the file register designator ‘f’ represents the number of the file in which the
bit is located.

When a Port register is modified as a function of itself (e.g., MOVF PORTB, 1, 0), 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 an 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.
If Program Counter (PC) is modified or a conditional test is true, the instruction requires two cycles. The second
cycle is executed as a NOP.
Some instructions are 2-word instructions. The second word of these instructions will be executed as a NOP
unless the first word of the instruction retrieves the information embedded in these 16 bits. This ensures that all
program memory locations have a valid instruction.
If the table write starts the write cycle to internal memory, the write will continue until terminated.

(automatically updates all project information)
• Debug using:
- source files (assembly or C)
- absolute listing file (mixed assembly and C)
- machine code
MPLAB IDE supports multiple debugging tools in a
single development paradigm, from the cost effective
simulators, through low cost in-circuit debuggers, to
full-featured emulators. This eliminates the learning
curve when upgrading to tools with increasing flexibility
and power.

relocatable objects from pre-compiled libraries, using
directives from a linker script.
The MPLIB object librarian manages the creation and
modification of library files of pre-compiled code. When
a routine from a library is called from a source file, only
the modules that contain that routine will be linked in
with the application. This allows large libraries to be
used efficiently in many different applications.
The object linker/library features include:
• Efficient linking of single libraries instead of many
smaller files
• Enhanced code maintainability by grouping
related modules together
• Flexible creation of libraries with easy module
listing, replacement, deletion and extraction

2: Voltage spikes below VSS at the MCLR/VPP pin, inducing currents greater than 80 mA, may cause latchup.
Thus, a series resistor of 50-100Ω should be used when applying a “low” level to the MCLR/VPP pin, rather
than pulling this pin directly to VSS.
† NOTICE: Stresses above those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the

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 or VSS, and all features that add delta
current disabled (such as WDT, Timer1 Oscillator, BOR, etc.).
The supply current is mainly a function of operating voltage, frequency and mode. Other factors, such as I/O pin loading
and switching rate, oscillator type and circuit, 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; all I/O pins tri-stated, pulled to VDD;
MCLR = VDD; WDT enabled/disabled as specified.
For RC oscillator configurations, current through REXT is not included. The current through the resistor can be estimated
by the formula Ir = VDD/2REXT (mA) with REXT in kΩ.

In RC oscillator configuration, the OSC1/CLKI pin is a Schmitt Trigger input. It is not recommended that the
PICmicro device be driven with an external clock while 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 current sourced by the pin.
Parameter is characterized but not tested.

Instruction cycle period (TCY) equals four times the input oscillator time base period for all configurations except PLL. 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/CLKI pin. When an external clock input is used, the “max.” cycle time limit is “DC” (no clock)
for all devices.

Time the bus must be free
before a new transmission
can start
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 I2C bus device can be used in a standard mode 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.

cycle.
When A/D is off, it will not consume any current other than minor leakage current. The power-down current
spec includes any such leakage from the A/D module.
VREF current is from RA2/AN2/VREF- and RA3/AN3/VREF+ pins or AVDD and AVSS pins, whichever is selected
as reference input.
Vss ≤ VAIN ≤ VREF
The A/D conversion result never decreases with an increase in the input voltage, and has no missing codes.

Note 1: If the A/D clock source is selected as RC, a time of TCY is added before the A/D clock starts.
This allows the SLEEP instruction to be executed.
2: This is a minimal RC delay (typically 100 ns) which also disconnects the holding capacitor from the analog input.

See Section 20.0 for minimum conditions when input voltage has changed more than 1 LSb.
The time for the holding capacitor to acquire the “New” input voltage when the voltage changes full scale
after the conversion (AVDD to AVSS, or AVSS to AVDD). The source impedance (RS) on the input channels is
50Ω.
On the next Q4 cycle of the device clock.
The time of the A/D clock period is dependent on the device frequency and the TAD clock divider.
