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and may be superseded by updates.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

ENHANCED MID-RANGE CPU  
This family of devices contain an enhanced mid-range  
8-bit CPU core. The CPU has 49 instructions. Interrupt  
capability includes automatic context saving. The  
hardware stack is 16 levels deep and has Overflow and  
Underflow Reset capability. Direct, Indirect, and  
Relative Addressing modes are available. Two File  
Select Registers (FSRs) provide the ability to read  
program and data memory.  
• Automatic Interrupt Context Saving  
• 16-level Stack with Overflow and Underflow  
• File Select Registers  
• Instruction Set  
2.1  
Automatic Interrupt Context  
Saving  
During interrupts, certain registers are automatically  
saved in shadow registers and restored when returning  
from the interrupt. This saves stack space and user  
code. See Section 7.5 “Automatic Context Saving”,  
for more information.  
2.2  
16-Level Stack with Overflow and  
Underflow  
These devices have an external stack memory 15 bits  
wide and 16 words deep. A Stack Overflow or Under-  
flow will set the appropriate bit (STKOVF or STKUNF)  
in the PCON register and, if enabled, will cause a  
software Reset. See Section 3.4 “Stack” for more  
details.  
2.3  
File Select Registers  
There are two 16-bit File Select Registers (FSR). FSRs  
can access all file registers and program memory,  
which allows one Data Pointer for all memory. When an  
FSR points to program memory, there is one additional  
instruction cycle in instructions using INDF to allow the  
data to be fetched. General purpose memory can now  
also be addressed linearly, providing the ability to  
access contiguous data larger than 80 bytes. There are  
also new instructions to support the FSRs. See  
Section 3.5 “Indirect Addressing” for more details.  
2.4  
Instruction Set  
There are 49 instructions for the enhanced mid-range  
CPU to support the features of the CPU. See  
Section 24.0 “Instruction Set Summary” for more  
details.

MEMORY ORGANIZATION  
The enhanced mid-range core has a 15-bit program  
counter capable of addressing a 32K x 14 program  
memory space. Table 3-1 shows the memory sizes  
implemented for these devices. Accessing a location  
above these boundaries will cause a wrap-around within  
the implemented memory space. The Reset vector is at  
0000h and the interrupt vector is at 0004h (see  
Figure 3-1 and Figure 3-2).  
These devices contain the following types of memory:  
• Program Memory  
- Configuration Words  
- Device ID  
- User ID  
- Flash Program Memory  
• Data Memory  
- Core Registers  
- Special Function Registers  
- General Purpose RAM  
- Common RAM  
The following features are associated with access and  
control of program memory and data memory:  
• PCL and PCLATH  
• Stack  
• Indirect Addressing

READING PROGRAM MEMORY AS  
DATA  
EXAMPLE 3-2:  
ACCESSING PROGRAM  
MEMORY VIA FSR  
constants  
RETLW DATA0  
There are two methods of accessing constants in  
program memory. The first method is to use tables of  
RETLW instructions. The second method is to set an  
FSR to point to the program memory.  
;Index0 data  
;Index1 data

RETLW DATA2  
RETLW DATA3

MOVLW  
MOVWF

LOW constants  
FSR1L  
HIGH constants  
FSR1H  
The RETLWinstruction can be used to provide access  
to tables of constants. The recommended way to create  
such a table is shown in Example 3-1.  
MOVIW 0[FSR1]  
;THE PROGRAM MEMORY IS IN W

RETLW DATA3  
;Index0 data  
;Index1 data  
my_function  
;… LOTS OF CODE…  
MOVLW DATA_INDEX  
CALL constants  
;… THE CONSTANT IS IN W  
The BRW instruction makes this type of table very  
simple to implement. If your code must remain portable  
with previous generations of microcontrollers, then the  
BRWinstruction is not available so the older table read  
method must be used.  
3.1.1.2  
Indirect Read with FSR  
The program memory can be accessed as data by  
setting bit 7 of the FSRxH register and reading the  
matching INDFx register. The MOVIW instruction will  
place the lower eight bits of the addressed word in the  
W register. Writes to the program memory cannot be  
performed via the INDF registers. Instructions that  
access the program memory via the FSR require one  
extra instruction cycle to complete. Example 3-2  
demonstrates accessing the program memory via an  
FSR.  
The High directive will set bit<7> if a label points to a  
location in program memory.

3.2.1  
CORE REGISTERS  
3.2  
Data Memory Organization  
The core registers contain the registers that directly  
affect the basic operation. The core registers occupy  
the first 12 addresses of every data memory bank  
(addresses x00h/x08h through x0Bh/x8Bh). These  
registers are listed below in Table 3-2. For detailed  
information, see Table 3-8.  
The data memory is partitioned in 32 memory banks  
with 128 bytes in a bank. Each bank consists of  
(Figure 3-3):  
• 12 core registers  
• 20 Special Function Registers (SFR)  
• Up to 80 bytes of General Purpose RAM (GPR)  
• 16 bytes of common RAM  
TABLE 3-2:  
CORE REGISTERS  
The active bank is selected by writing the bank number  
into the Bank Select Register (BSR). Unimplemented  
memory will read as ‘0’. All data memory can be  
accessed either directly (via instructions that use the  
file registers) or indirectly via the two File Select  
Registers (FSR). See Section 3.5 “Indirect  
Addressing” for more information.

For example, CLRF STATUSwill clear the upper three  
bits and set the Z bit. This leaves the STATUS register  
as ‘000u u1uu’ (where u= unchanged).  
3.2.1.1  
STATUS Register  
The STATUS register, shown in Register 3-1, contains:  
• the arithmetic status of the ALU  
• the Reset status  
It is recommended, therefore, that only BCF, BSF,  
SWAPF and MOVWF instructions are used to alter the  
STATUS register, because these instructions do not  
affect any Status bits. For other instructions not  
affecting any Status bits (Refer to Section 24.0  
“Instruction Set Summary”).  
The STATUS register can be the destination for any  
instruction, like any other register. If the STATUS  
register is the destination for an instruction that affects  
the Z, DC or C bits, then the write to these three bits is  
disabled. These bits are set or cleared according to the  
device logic. Furthermore, the TO and PD bits are not  
writable. Therefore, the result of an instruction with the  
STATUS register as destination may be different than  
intended.  
Note 1: The C and DC bits operate as Borrow  
and Digit Borrow out bits, respectively, in  
subtraction.

PARTITIONING  
The Special Function Registers are registers used by  
the application to control the desired operation of  
peripheral functions in the device. The Special Function  
Registers occupy the 20 bytes after the core registers of  
every data memory bank (addresses x0Ch/x8Ch  
through x1Fh/x9Fh). The registers associated with the  
operation of the peripherals are described in the  
appropriate peripheral chapter of this data sheet.

COMPUTED FUNCTION CALLS  
3.3  
PCL and PCLATH  
A computed function CALLallows programs to maintain  
tables of functions and provide another way to execute  
state machines or look-up tables. When performing a  
table read using a computed function CALL, care  
should be exercised if the table location crosses a PCL  
memory boundary (each 256-byte block).  
The Program Counter (PC) is 15 bits wide. The low byte  
comes from the PCL register, which is a readable and  
writable register. The high byte (PC<14:8>) is not directly  
readable or writable and comes from PCLATH. On any  
Reset, the PC is cleared. Figure 3-4 shows the five  
situations for the loading of the PC.  
If using the CALLinstruction, the PCH<2:0> and PCL  
registers are loaded with the operand of the CALL  
instruction. PCH<6:3> is loaded with PCLATH<6:3>.  
FIGURE 3-4:  
LOADING OF PC IN  
DIFFERENT SITUATIONS  
The CALLW instruction enables computed calls by  
combining PCLATH and W to form the destination  
address. A computed CALLW is accomplished by  
loading the W register with the desired address and  
executing CALLW. The PCL register is loaded with the  
value of W and PCH is loaded with PCLATH.

BRANCHING  
GOTO, CALL  
PC  
The branching instructions add an offset to the PC.  
This allows relocatable code and code that crosses  
page boundaries. There are two forms of branching,  
BRW and BRA. The PC will have incremented to fetch  
the next instruction in both cases. When using either  
branching instruction, a PCL memory boundary may be  
crossed.

3.3.1  
MODIFYING PCL  
Executing any instruction with the PCL register as the  
destination simultaneously causes the Program  
Counter PC<14:8> bits (PCH) to be replaced by the  
contents of the PCLATH register. This allows the entire  
contents of the PC to be changed by writing the desired  
upper seven bits to the PCLATH register. When the  
lower eight bits are written to the PCL register, all 15  
bits of the PC will change to the values contained in the  
PCLATH register and those being written to the PCL  
register.  
3.3.2  
COMPUTED GOTO  
A computed GOTOis accomplished by adding an offset to  
the PC (ADDWF PCL). When performing a table read  
using a computed GOTO method, care should be  
exercised if the table location crosses a PCL memory  
boundary (each 256-byte block). Refer to the Application  
Note AN556, “Implementing a Table Read” (DS00556).

3.4.1  
ACCESSING THE STACK  
3.4  
Stack  
The stack is available through the TOSH, TOSL and  
STKPTR registers. STKPTR is the current value of the  
Stack Pointer. TOSH:TOSL register pair points to the  
TOP of the stack. Both registers are read/writable. TOS  
is split into TOSH and TOSL due to the 15-bit size of the  
PC. To access the stack, adjust the value of STKPTR,  
which will position TOSH:TOSL, then read/write to  
TOSH:TOSL. STKPTR is five bits to allow detection of  
overflow and underflow.  
All devices have a 16-level x 15-bit wide hardware  
stack (refer to Figures 3-5 through 3-8). The stack  
space is not part of either program or data space. The  
PC is PUSHed onto the stack when CALL or CALLW  
instructions are executed or an interrupt causes a  
branch. The stack is POPed in the event of a RETURN,  
RETLWor a RETFIEinstruction execution. PCLATH is  
not affected by a PUSH or POP operation.  
The stack operates as a circular buffer if the STVREN  
bit is programmed to ‘0‘ (Configuration Word 2). This  
means that after the stack has been PUSHed sixteen  
times, the seventeenth PUSH overwrites the value that  
was stored from the first PUSH. The eighteenth PUSH  
overwrites the second PUSH (and so on). The  
STKOVF and STKUNF flag bits will be set on an  
Overflow/Underflow, regardless of whether the Reset is  
enabled.  
Note:  
Care should be taken when modifying the  
STKPTR while interrupts are enabled.  
During normal program operation, CALL, CALLWand  
Interrupts will increment STKPTR while RETLW,  
RETURN, and RETFIEwill decrement STKPTR. At any  
time STKPTR can be inspected to see how much stack  
is left. The STKPTR always points at the currently used  
place on the stack. Therefore, a CALL or CALLW will  
increment the STKPTR and then write the PC, and a  
return will unload the PC and then decrement STKPTR.  
Note 1: There are no instructions/mnemonics  
called PUSH or POP. These are actions  
that occur from the execution of the  
CALL, CALLW, RETURN, RETLW and  
RETFIE instructions or the vectoring to  
an interrupt address.  
Reference Figure 3-5 through 3-8 for examples of  
accessing the stack.

the Stack Overflow/Underflow Reset is  
disabled, the TOSH/TOSL registers will

When the stack is full, the next CALLor  
an interrupt will set the Stack Pointer to  
0x10. This is identical to address 0x00  
so the stack will wrap and overwrite the  
return address at 0x00. If the Stack  
Overflow/Underflow Reset is enabled, a  
Reset will occur and location 0x00 will  
not be overwritten.

STKPTR = 0x10  
3.4.2  
OVERFLOW/UNDERFLOW RESET  
If the STVREN bit in Configuration Word 2 is  
programmed to ‘1’, the device will be reset if the stack  
is PUSHed beyond the sixteenth level or POPed  
beyond the first level, setting the appropriate bits  
(STKOVF or STKUNF, respectively) in the PCON  
register.  
3.5  
Indirect Addressing  
The INDFn registers are not physical registers. Any  
instruction that accesses an INDFn register actually  
accesses the register at the address specified by the  
File Select Registers (FSR). If the FSRn address  
specifies one of the two INDFn registers, the read will  
return ‘0’ and the write will not occur (though Status bits  
may be affected). The FSRn register value is created  
by the pair FSRnH and FSRnL.  
The FSR registers form a 16-bit address that allows an  
addressing space with 65536 locations. These locations  
are divided into three memory regions:  
• Traditional Data Memory  
• Linear Data Memory  
• Program Flash Memory

LINEAR DATA MEMORY

PROGRAM FLASH MEMORY  
The linear data memory is the region from FSR  
address 0x2000 to FSR address 0x29AF. This region is  
a virtual region that points back to the 80-byte blocks of  
GPR memory in all the banks.  
To make constant data access easier, the entire  
program Flash memory is mapped to the upper half of  
the FSR address space. When the MSB of FSRnH is  
set, the lower 15 bits are the address in program  
memory which will be accessed through INDF. Only the  
lower eight bits of each memory location is accessible  
via INDF. Writing to the program Flash memory cannot  
be accomplished via the FSR/INDF interface. All  
instructions that access program Flash memory via the  
FSR/INDF interface will require one additional  
instruction cycle to complete.  
Unimplemented memory reads as 0x00. Use of the  
linear data memory region allows buffers to be larger  
than 80 bytes because incrementing the FSR beyond  
one bank will go directly to the GPR memory of the next  
bank.  
The 16 bytes of common memory are not included in  
the linear data memory region.

DEVICE CONFIGURATION  
Device Configuration consists of Configuration Words,  
Code Protection and Device ID.  
4.1  
Configuration Words  
There are several Configuration Word bits that allow  
different oscillator and memory protection options.  
These are implemented as Configuration Word 1 at  
8007h and Configuration Word 2 at 8008h.  
Note:  
The DEBUG bit in Configuration Word 2 is  
managed automatically by device  
development tools including debuggers  
and programmers. For normal device  
operation, this bit should be maintained as  
a ‘1’.

Code Protection  
Code protection allows the device to be protected from  
unauthorized access. Program memory protection is  
controlled independently. Internal access to the  
program memory is unaffected by any code protection  
setting.  
4.2.1  
PROGRAM MEMORY PROTECTION  
The entire program memory space is protected from  
external reads and writes by the CP bit in Configuration  
Words. When CP = 0, external reads and writes of  
program memory are inhibited and a read will return all  
0’s. The CPU can continue to read program memory,  
regardless of the protection bit settings. Writing the  
program memory is dependent upon the write  
protection  
setting.  
See  
Section 4.3  
“Write  
Protection” for more information.  
4.3  
Write Protection  
Write protection allows the device to be protected from  
unintended self-writes. Applications, such as  
bootloader software, can be protected while allowing  
other regions of the program memory to be modified.  
The WRT<1:0> bits in Configuration Words define the  
size of the program memory block that is protected.  
4.4  
User ID  
Four memory locations (8000h-8003h) are designated as  
ID locations where the user can store checksum or other  
code identification numbers. These locations are  
readable and writable during normal execution. See  
Section 11.4 “User ID, Device ID and Configuration  
Word Access” for more information on accessing these  
memory locations. For more information on checksum  
calculation, see the PIC16(L)F151X/152X Memory

Revision ID are stored. The upper nine bits hold the  
Device ID. The lower five bits hold the Revision ID. See

The oscillator module can be configured in one of eight  
clock modes.  
5.0  
5.1  
OSCILLATOR MODULE (WITH  
FAIL-SAFE CLOCK MONITOR)  
1. ECL – External Clock Low-Power mode  
(0 MHz to 0.5 MHz)  
Overview  
2. ECM – External Clock Medium-Power mode  
(0.5 MHz to 4 MHz)  
The oscillator module has a wide variety of clock  
sources and selection features that allow it to be used  
in a wide range of applications while maximizing  
performance and minimizing power consumption.  
Figure 5-1 illustrates a block diagram of the oscillator  
module.  
3. ECH – External Clock High-Power mode  
(4 MHz to 20 MHz)  
4. LP – 32 kHz Low-Power Crystal mode.  
5. XT – Medium Gain Crystal or Ceramic Resonator  
Oscillator mode (up to 4 MHz)  
Clock sources can be supplied from external oscillators,  
quartz crystal resonators, ceramic resonators and  
Resistor-Capacitor (RC) circuits. In addition, the system  
clock source can be supplied from one of two internal  
oscillators, with a choice of speeds selectable via  
software. Additional clock features include:  
6. HS – High Gain Crystal or Ceramic Resonator  
mode (4 MHz to 20 MHz)  
7. RC – External Resistor-Capacitor (RC).  
8. INTOSC – Internal oscillator (31 kHz to 16 MHz).  
Clock Source modes are selected by the FOSC<2:0>  
bits in the Configuration Words. The FOSC bits  
determine the type of oscillator that will be used when  
the device is first powered.  
• Selectable system clock source between external  
or internal sources via software.  
• Two-Speed Start-up mode, which minimizes  
latency between external oscillator start-up and  
code execution.  
The EC clock mode relies on an external logic level  
signal as the device clock source. The LP, XT and HS  
clock modes require an external crystal or resonator to  
be connected to the device. Each mode is optimized for  
a different frequency range. The RC clock mode  
requires an external resistor and capacitor to set the  
oscillator frequency.  
• Fail-Safe Clock Monitor (FSCM) designed to  
detect a failure of the external clock source (LP,  
XT, HS, EC or RC modes) and switch  
automatically to the internal oscillator.  
• Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) ensures stability  
of crystal oscillator sources  
The INTOSC internal oscillator block produces a low  
and high frequency clock source, designated  
LFINTOSC and HFINTOSC. (see Internal Oscillator  
Block, Figure 5-1). A wide selection of device clock  
frequencies may be derived from these two clock  
sources.  
• Fast start-up oscillator allows internal circuits to  
power up and stabilize before switching to the 16  
MHz HFINTOSC

The Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) is disabled when  
EC mode is selected. Therefore, there is no delay in  
operation after a Power-on Reset (POR) or wake-up  
from Sleep. Because the PIC® MCU design is fully  
static, stopping the external clock input will have the  
effect of halting the device while leaving all data intact.  
Upon restarting the external clock, the device will  
resume operation as if no time had elapsed.  
5.2  
Clock Source Types  
Clock sources can be classified as external or internal.  
External clock sources rely on external circuitry for the  
clock source to function. Examples are: oscillator  
modules (EC mode), quartz crystal resonators or  
ceramic resonators (LP, XT and HS modes) and  
Resistor-Capacitor (RC) mode circuits.  
Internal clock sources are contained within the oscillator  
module. The internal oscillator block has two internal  
oscillators that are used to generate the internal system  
clock sources: the 16 MHz High-Frequency Internal  
Oscillator and the 31 kHz Low-Frequency Internal  
Oscillator (LFINTOSC).

the Configuration Words.  
An external clock source can be used as the device  
system clock by performing one of the following  
actions:  
5.2.1.2  
LP, XT, HS Modes  
The LP, XT and HS modes support the use of quartz  
crystal resonators or ceramic resonators connected to  
OSC1 and OSC2 (Figure 5-3). The three modes select  
a low, medium or high gain setting of the internal  
inverter-amplifier to support various resonator types  
and speed.  
• Program the FOSC<2:0> bits in the Configuration  
Words to select an external clock source that will  
be used as the default system clock upon a  
device Reset.  
• Write the SCS<1:0> bits in the OSCCON register  
to switch the system clock source to:  
LP Oscillator mode selects the lowest gain setting of the  
internal inverter-amplifier. LP mode current consumption  
is the least of the three modes. This mode is designed to  
drive only 32.768 kHz tuning-fork type crystals (watch  
crystals).  
- Secondary oscillator during run-time, or  
- An external clock source determined by the  
value of the FOSC bits.  
See Section 5.3 “Clock Switching”for more informa-  
tion.  
XT Oscillator mode selects the intermediate gain  
setting of the internal inverter-amplifier. XT mode  
current consumption is the medium of the three modes.  
This mode is best suited to drive resonators with a  
medium drive level specification.  
5.2.1.1  
EC Mode  
The External Clock (EC) mode allows an externally  
generated logic level signal to be the system clock  
source. When operating in this mode, an external clock  
source is connected to the OSC1 input.  
OSC2/CLKOUT is available for general purpose I/O or  
CLKOUT. Figure 5-2 shows the pin connections for EC  
mode.  
HS Oscillator mode selects the highest gain setting of the  
internal inverter-amplifier. HS mode current consumption  
is the highest of the three modes. This mode is best  
suited for resonators that require a high drive setting.  
Figure 5-3 and Figure 5-4 show typical circuits for  
quartz crystal and ceramic resonators, respectively.  
EC mode has three power modes to select from through  
Configuration Words:  
• High power, 4-20 MHz (FOSC = 111)  
• Medium power, 0.5-4 MHz (FOSC = 110)  
• Low power, 0-0.5 MHz (FOSC = 101)

5.2.1.3  
Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST)  
If the oscillator module is configured for LP, XT or HS  
modes, the Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) counts  
1024 oscillations from OSC1. This occurs following a  
Power-on Reset (POR) and when the Power-up Timer  
(PWRT) has expired (if configured), or a wake-up from  
Sleep. During this time, the program counter does not  
increment and program execution is suspended unless  
either FSCM or Two-Speed Start-up are enabled, in  
which case code will continue to execute while the OST  
is counting. The OST ensures that the oscillator circuit,  
using a quartz crystal resonator or ceramic resonator,  
has started and is providing a stable system clock to  
the oscillator module.  
2: Always verify oscillator performance over  
the VDD and temperature range that is  
expected for the application.  
3: For oscillator design assistance, reference  
the following Microchip Applications Notes:  
• AN826, “Crystal Oscillator Basics and  
Crystal Selection for rfPIC® and PIC®  
Devices” (DS00826)

In order to minimize latency between external oscillator  
start-up and code execution, the Two-Speed Clock  
Start-up mode can be selected (see Section 5.4  
“Two-Speed Clock Start-up Mode”).

Secondary Oscillator  
5.2.1.5  
External RC Mode  
The secondary oscillator is a separate crystal oscillator  
that is associated with the Timer1 peripheral. It is  
optimized for timekeeping operations with a 32.768  
kHz crystal connected between the SOSCO and  
SOSCI device pins.  
The external Resistor-Capacitor (RC) modes support  
the use of an external RC circuit. This allows the  
designer maximum flexibility in frequency choice while  
keeping costs to a minimum when clock accuracy is not  
required.  
The secondary oscillator can be used as an alternate  
system clock source and can be selected during  
run-time using clock switching. Refer to Section 5.3  
“Clock Switching” for more information.  
The RC circuit connects to OSC1. OSC2/CLKOUT is  
available for general purpose I/O or CLKOUT. The  
function of the OSC2/CLKOUT pin is determined by the  
CLKOUTEN bit in Configuration Words.  
Figure 5-6 shows the external RC mode connections.

INTERNAL CLOCK SOURCES  
5.2.2.2  
LFINTOSC  
The device may be configured to use the internal  
oscillator block as the system clock by performing one  
of the following actions:  
The Low-Frequency Internal Oscillator (LFINTOSC) is  
an uncalibrated 31 kHz internal clock source.  
The output of the LFINTOSC connects to a postscaler  
and multiplexer (see Figure 5-1). Select 31 kHz, via  
software, using the IRCF<3:0> bits of the OSCCON  
register. See Section 5.2.2.4 “Internal Oscillator  
Clock Switch Timing” for more information. The  
LFINTOSC is also the frequency for the Power-up Timer  
(PWRT), Watchdog Timer (WDT) and Fail-Safe Clock  
Monitor (FSCM).  
• Program the FOSC<2:0> bits in Configuration  
Words to select the INTOSC clock source, which  
will be used as the default system clock upon a  
device Reset.  
• Write the SCS<1:0> bits in the OSCCON register  
to switch the system clock source to the internal  
oscillator during run-time. See Section 5.3  
“Clock Switching”for more information.  
The LFINTOSC is enabled by selecting 31 kHz  
(IRCF<3:0> bits of the OSCCON register = 000)as the  
system clock source (SCS bits of the OSCCON  
register = 1x), or when any of the following are  
enabled:  
In INTOSC mode, OSC1/CLKIN is available for general  
purpose I/O. OSC2/CLKOUT is available for general  
purpose I/O or CLKOUT.  
The function of the OSC2/CLKOUT pin is determined  
by the CLKOUTEN bit in Configuration Words.  
• Configure the IRCF<3:0> bits of the OSCCON  
register for the desired LF frequency, and  
The internal oscillator block has two independent  
oscillators that provides the internal system clock  
source.  
• FOSC<2:0> = 100, or  
• Set the System Clock Source (SCS) bits of the  
OSCCON register to ‘1x’  
1. The HFINTOSC (High-Frequency Internal  
Oscillator) is factory calibrated and operates at  
16 MHz.  
Peripherals that use the LFINTOSC are:  
• Power-up Timer (PWRT)  
• Watchdog Timer (WDT)  
2. The LFINTOSC (Low-Frequency Internal  
Oscillator) is uncalibrated and operates at  
31 kHz.  
• Fail-Safe Clock Monitor (FSCM)  
The Low-Frequency Internal Oscillator Ready bit  
(LFIOFR) of the OSCSTAT register indicates when the  
LFINTOSC is running.  
5.2.2.1  
HFINTOSC  
The High-Frequency Internal Oscillator (HFINTOSC) is  
a factory calibrated 16 MHz internal clock source.  
The output of the HFINTOSC connects to a postscaler  
and multiplexer (see Figure 5-1). The frequency derived  
from the HFINTOSC can be selected via software using  
the IRCF<3:0> bits of the OSCCON register. See  
Section 5.2.2.4 “Internal Oscillator Clock Switch  
Timing” for more information.  
The HFINTOSC is enabled by:  
• Configure the IRCF<3:0> bits of the OSCCON  
register for the desired HF frequency, and  
• FOSC<2:0> = 100, or  
• Set the System Clock Source (SCS) bits of the  
OSCCON register to ‘1x’.  
A fast start-up oscillator allows internal circuits to power  
up and stabilize before switching to HFINTOSC.  
The High-Frequency Internal Oscillator Ready bit  
(HFIOFR) of the OSCSTAT register indicates when the  
HFINTOSC is running.  
The High-Frequency Internal Oscillator Stable bit  
(HFIOFS) of the OSCSTAT register indicates when the  
HFINTOSC is running within 0.5% of its final value.

5.2.2.4  
Internal Oscillator Clock Switch  
Timing  
The system clock speed can be selected via software  
using the Internal Oscillator Frequency Select bits  
IRCF<3:0> of the OSCCON register.  
When switching between the HFINTOSC and the  
LFINTOSC, the new oscillator may already be shut  
down to save power (see Figure 5-7). If this is the case,  
there is a delay after the IRCF<3:0> bits of the  
OSCCON register are modified before the frequency  
selection takes place. The OSCSTAT register will  
reflect the current active status of the HFINTOSC and  
LFINTOSC oscillators. The sequence of a frequency  
selection is as follows:  
The output of the 16 MHz HFINTOSC and 31 kHz  
LFINTOSC connects to a postscaler and multiplexer  
(see Figure 5-1). The Internal Oscillator Frequency  
Select bits IRCF<3:0> of the OSCCON register select  
the frequency output of the internal oscillators. One of  
the following frequencies can be selected via software:  
1. IRCF<3:0> bits of the OSCCON register are  
modified.  
• HFINTOSC  
- 16 MHz  
2. If the new clock is shut down, a clock start-up  
delay is started.  
- 8 MHz  
- 4 MHz  
3. Clock switch circuitry waits for a falling edge of  
the current clock.  
- 2 MHz  
- 1 MHz  
4. The current clock is held low and the clock  
switch circuitry waits for a rising edge in the new  
clock.  
- 500 kHz (default after Reset)  
- 250 kHz  
5. The new clock is now active.  
- 125 kHz  
6. The OSCSTAT register is updated as required.  
7. Clock switch is complete.  
- 62.5 kHz  
- 31.25 kHz  
• LFINTOSC  
• 31 kHz  
See Figure 5-7 for more details.  
If the internal oscillator speed is switched between two  
clocks of the same source, there is no start-up delay  
before the new frequency is selected. Clock switching  
time delays are shown in Table 5-1.  
Note:  
Following any Reset, the IRCF<3:0> bits  
of the OSCCON register are set to ‘0111’  
and the frequency selection is set to  
500 kHz. The user can modify the IRCF  
bits to select a different frequency.  
Start-up delay specifications are located in the  
oscillator tables of Section 25.0 “Electrical  
Specifications”  
The IRCF<3:0> bits of the OSCCON register allow  
duplicate selections for some frequencies. These  
duplicate choices can offer system design trade-offs.  
Lower power consumption can be obtained when  
changing oscillator sources for a given frequency.  
Faster transition times can be obtained between  
frequency changes that use the same oscillator source.

SECONDARY OSCILLATOR  
5.3  
Clock Switching  
The secondary oscillator is a separate crystal oscillator  
associated with the Timer1 peripheral. It is optimized  
for timekeeping operations with a 32.768 kHz crystal  
connected between the SOSCO and SOSCI device  
pins.  
The system clock source can be switched between  
external and internal clock sources via software using  
the System Clock Select (SCS) bits of the OSCCON  
register. The following clock sources can be selected  
using the SCS bits:  
The secondary oscillator is enabled using the  
T1OSCEN control bit in the T1CON register. See  
Section 18.0 “Timer1 Module with Gate Control” for  
more information about the Timer1 peripheral.  
• Default system oscillator determined by FOSC  
bits in Configuration Words  
• Secondary oscillator 32 kHz crystal  
• Internal Oscillator Block (INTOSC)  
5.3.4  
SECONDARY OSCILLATOR READY  
(SOSCR) BIT  
5.3.1  
SYSTEM CLOCK SELECT (SCS)  
BITS  
The user must ensure that the secondary oscillator is  
ready to be used before it is selected as a system clock  
source. The Secondary Oscillator Ready (SOSCR) bit  
of the OSCSTAT register indicates whether the  
secondary oscillator is ready to be used. After the  
SOSCR bit is set, the SCS bits can be configured to  
select the secondary oscillator.  
The System Clock Select (SCS) bits of the OSCCON  
register selects the system clock source that is used for  
the CPU and peripherals.  
• When the SCS bits of the OSCCON register = 00,  
the system clock source is determined by value of  
the FOSC<2:0> bits in the Configuration Words.  
• When the SCS bits of the OSCCON register = 01,  
the system clock source is the secondary  
oscillator.  
• When the SCS bits of the OSCCON register = 1x,  
the system clock source is chosen by the internal  
oscillator frequency selected by the IRCF<3:0>  
bits of the OSCCON register. After a Reset, the  
SCS bits of the OSCCON register are always  
cleared.  
Note:  
Any automatic clock switch, which may  
occur from Two-Speed Start-up or  
Fail-Safe Clock Monitor, does not update  
the SCS bits of the OSCCON register. The  
user can monitor the OSTS bit of the  
OSCSTAT register to determine the current  
system clock source.  
When switching between clock sources, a delay is  
required to allow the new clock to stabilize. These  
oscillator delays are shown in Table 5-1.  
5.3.2  
OSCILLATOR START-UP TIMER  
STATUS (OSTS) BIT  
The Oscillator Start-up Timer Status (OSTS) bit of the  
OSCSTAT register indicates whether the system clock  
is running from the external clock source, as defined by  
the FOSC<2:0> bits in the Configuration Words, or  
from the internal clock source. In particular, OSTS  
indicates that the Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) has  
timed out for LP, XT or HS modes. The OST does not  
reflect the status of the secondary oscillator.

TWO-SPEED START-UP MODE  
CONFIGURATION  
5.4  
Two-Speed Clock Start-up Mode  
Two-Speed Start-up mode provides additional power  
savings by minimizing the latency between external  
oscillator start-up and code execution. In applications  
that make heavy use of the Sleep mode, Two-Speed  
Start-up will remove the external oscillator start-up  
time from the time spent awake and can reduce the  
overall power consumption of the device. This mode  
allows the application to wake-up from Sleep, perform  
a few instructions using the INTOSC internal oscillator  
block as the clock source and go back to Sleep without  
waiting for the external oscillator to become stable.  
Two-Speed Start-up mode is configured by the  
following settings:  
• IESO (of the Configuration Words) = 1;  
Internal/External Switchover bit (Two-Speed  
Start-up mode enabled).  
• SCS (of the OSCCON register) = 00.  
• FOSC<2:0> bits in the Configuration Words  
configured for LP, XT or HS mode.  
Two-Speed Start-up mode is entered after:  
• Power-on Reset (POR) and, if enabled, after  
Power-up Timer (PWRT) has expired, or  
Two-Speed Start-up provides benefits when the  
oscillator module is configured for LP, XT or HS  
modes. The Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) is enabled  
for these modes and must count 1024 oscillations  
before the oscillator can be used as the system clock  
source.  
• Wake-up from Sleep.  
Note:  
If FSCM is enabled, Two-Speed Start-up  
will automatically be enabled.  
If the oscillator module is configured for any mode  
other than LP, XT or HS mode, then Two-Speed  
Start-up is disabled. This is because the external clock  
oscillator does not require any stabilization time after  
POR or an exit from Sleep.  
If the OST count reaches 1024 before the device  
enters Sleep mode, the OSTS bit of the OSCSTAT  
register is set and program execution switches to the  
external oscillator. However, the system may never  
operate from the external oscillator if the time spent  
awake is very short.  
Note:  
Executing a SLEEP instruction will abort  
the oscillator start-up time and will cause  
the OSTS bit of the OSCSTAT register to  
remain clear.

FAIL-SAFE CONDITION CLEARING  
5.5  
Fail-Safe Clock Monitor  
The Fail-Safe condition is cleared after a Reset or  
changing the SCS bits of the OSCCON register. When  
the SCS bits are changed, the OST is restarted. While  
the OST is running, the device continues to operate  
from the INTOSC selected in OSCCON. When the  
OST times out, the Fail-Safe condition is cleared and  
the device will be operating from the external clock  
source. The Fail-Safe condition must be cleared before  
the OSFIF flag can be cleared.  
The Fail-Safe Clock Monitor (FSCM) allows the device  
to continue operating should the external oscillator fail.  
The FSCM can detect oscillator failure any time after  
the Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) has expired. The  
FSCM is enabled by setting the FCMEN bit in the  
Configuration Words. The FSCM is applicable to all  
external Oscillator modes (LP, XT, HS, EC, RC and  
secondary oscillator).

The FSCM is designed to detect an oscillator failure  
after the Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) has expired.  
The OST is used after waking up from Sleep and after  
any type of Reset. The OST is not used with the EC or  
RC Clock modes so that the FSCM will be active as  
soon as the Reset or wake-up has completed. When  
the FSCM is enabled, the Two-Speed Start-up is also  
enabled. Therefore, the device will always be executing  
code while the OST is operating.

Due to the wide range of oscillator start-up

Reset or Sleep). After an appropriate  
amount of time, the user should check the  
Status bits in the OSCSTAT register to  
verify the oscillator start-up and that the  
system clock switchover has successfully  
completed.

5.5.1  
FAIL-SAFE DETECTION  
The FSCM module detects a failed oscillator by  
comparing the external oscillator to the FSCM sample  
clock. The sample clock is generated by dividing the  
LFINTOSC by 64. See Figure 5-9. Inside the fail  
detector block is a latch. The external clock sets the  
latch on each falling edge of the external clock. The  
sample clock clears the latch on each rising edge of the  
sample clock. A failure is detected when an entire  
half-cycle of the sample clock elapses before the  
external clock goes low.  
5.5.2  
FAIL-SAFE OPERATION  
When the external clock fails, the FSCM switches the  
device clock to an internal clock source and sets the bit  
flag OSFIF of the PIR2 register. Setting this flag will  
generate an interrupt if the OSFIE bit of the PIE2  
register is also set. The device firmware can then take  
steps to mitigate the problems that may arise from a  
failed clock. The system clock will continue to be  
sourced from the internal clock source until the device  
firmware successfully restarts the external oscillator  
and switches back to external operation.  
The internal clock source chosen by the FSCM is  
determined by the IRCF<3:0> bits of the OSCCON  
register. This allows the internal oscillator to be  
configured before a failure occurs.

RESETS  
There are multiple ways to reset this device:  
• Power-on Reset (POR)  
• Brown-out Reset (BOR)  
• Low-Power Brown-out Reset (LPBOR)  
• MCLR Reset  
• WDT Reset  
RESETinstruction  
• Stack Overflow  
• Stack Underflow  
• Programming mode exit  
To allow VDD to stabilize, an optional power-up timer  
can be enabled to extend the Reset time after a BOR  
or POR event.

Power-on Reset (POR)  
6.2  
Brown-Out Reset (BOR)  
The POR circuit holds the device in Reset until VDD has  
reached an acceptable level for minimum operation.  
Slow rising VDD, fast operating speeds or analog  
performance may require greater than minimum VDD.  
The PWRT, BOR or MCLR features can be used to  
extend the start-up period until all device operation  
conditions have been met.  
The BOR circuit holds the device in Reset when VDD  
reaches a selectable minimum level. Between the  
POR and BOR, complete voltage range coverage for  
execution protection can be implemented.  
The Brown-out Reset module has four operating  
modes controlled by the BOREN<1:0> bits in  
Configuration Words. The four operating modes are:  
• BOR is always on  
6.1.1  
POWER-UP TIMER (PWRT)  
• BOR is off when in Sleep  
• BOR is controlled by software  
• BOR is always off  
The Power-up Timer provides a nominal 64 ms time-  
out on POR or Brown-out Reset.  
The device is held in Reset as long as PWRT is active.  
The PWRT delay allows additional time for the VDD to  
rise to an acceptable level. The Power-up Timer is  
enabled by clearing the PWRTE bit in Configuration  
Words.  
Refer to Table 6-1 for more information.  
The Brown-out Reset voltage level is selectable by  
configuring the BORV bit in Configuration Words.  
A VDD noise rejection filter prevents the BOR from  
triggering on small events. If VDD falls below VBOR for  
a duration greater than parameter TBORDC, the device  
will reset. See Figure 6-2 for more information.  
The Power-up Timer starts after the release of the POR  
and BOR.  
For additional information, refer to Application Note  
AN607, “Power-up Trouble Shooting” (DS00607).

Note 1: In these specific cases, “Release of POR” and “Wake-up from Sleep”, there is no delay in start-up. The BOR  
ready flag, (BORRDY = 1), will be set before the CPU is ready to execute instructions because the BOR  
circuit is forced on by the BOREN<1:0> bits.  
6.2.1  
BOR IS ALWAYS ON  
6.2.3  
BOR CONTROLLED BY SOFTWARE  
When the BOREN bits of Configuration Words are  
programmed to ‘11’, the BOR is always on. The device  
start-up will be delayed until the BOR is ready and VDD  
is higher than the BOR threshold.  
When the BOREN bits of Configuration Words are  
programmed to ‘01’, the BOR is controlled by the  
SBOREN bit of the BORCON register. The device start-  
up is not delayed by the BOR ready condition or the  
VDD level.  
BOR protection is active during Sleep. The BOR does  
not delay wake-up from Sleep.  
BOR protection begins as soon as the BOR circuit is  
ready. The status of the BOR circuit is reflected in the  
BORRDY bit of the BORCON register.  
6.2.2  
BOR IS OFF IN SLEEP  
When the BOREN bits of Configuration Words are  
programmed to ‘10’, the BOR is on, except in Sleep.  
The device start-up will be delayed until the BOR is  
ready and VDD is higher than the BOR threshold.  
BOR protection is unchanged by Sleep.  
BOR protection is not active during Sleep. The device  
wake-up will be delayed until the BOR is ready.

Low-Power Brown-out Reset  
(LPBOR)  
6.5  
Watchdog Timer (WDT) Reset  
The Watchdog Timer generates a Reset if the firmware  
does not issue a CLRWDTinstruction within the time-out  
period. The TO and PD bits in the STATUS register are  
changed to indicate the WDT Reset. See Section 10.0  
“Watchdog Timer (WDT)” for more information.  
The Low-Power Brown-Out Reset (LPBOR) is an  
essential part of the Reset subsystem. Refer to  
Figure 6-1 to see how the BOR interacts with other  
modules.  
The LPBOR is used to monitor the external VDD pin.  
When too low of a voltage is detected, the device is  
held in Reset. When this occurs, a register bit (BOR) is  
changed to indicate that a BOR Reset has occurred.  
The same bit is set for both the BOR and the LPBOR.  
Refer to Register 6-2.  
6.6  
RESETInstruction  
A RESETinstruction will cause a device Reset. The RI  
bit in the PCON register will be set to ‘0’. See Table 6-4  
for default conditions after a RESET instruction has  
occurred.  
6.3.1  
ENABLING LPBOR  
6.7  
Stack Overflow/Underflow Reset  
The LPBOR is controlled by the LPBOREN bit of  
Configuration Words. When the device is erased, the  
LPBOR module defaults to disabled.  
The device can reset when the Stack Overflows or  
Underflows. The STKOVF or STKUNF bits of the PCON  
register indicate the Reset condition. These Resets are  
enabled by setting the STVREN bit in Configuration  
Words. See Section 3.4.2 “Overflow/Underflow  
Reset” for more information.  
6.3.1.1  
LPBOR Module Output  
The output of the LPBOR module is a signal indicating  
whether or not a Reset is to be asserted. This signal is  
to be OR’d together with the Reset signal of the BOR  
module to provide the generic BOR signal which goes  
to the PCON register and to the power control block.  
6.8  
Programming Mode Exit  
Upon exit of Programming mode, the device will  
behave as if a POR had just occurred.  
6.4  
MCLR  
6.9  
Power-Up Timer  
The MCLR is an optional external input that can reset  
the device. The MCLR function is controlled by the  
MCLRE bit of Configuration Words and the LVP bit of  
Configuration Words (Register 4-2).  
The Power-up Timer optionally delays device execution  
after a BOR or POR event. This timer is typically used to  
allow VDD to stabilize before allowing the device to start  
running.

6.10 Start-up Sequence  
Upon the release of a POR or BOR, the following must  
occur before the device will begin executing:  
1. Power-up Timer runs to completion (if enabled).  
6.4.1  
MCLR ENABLED  
2. Oscillator start-up timer runs to completion (if  
required for oscillator source).  
When MCLR is enabled and the pin is held low, the  
device is held in Reset. The MCLR pin is connected to  
VDD through an internal weak pull-up.  
3. MCLR must be released (if enabled).  
The total time-out will vary based on oscillator configu-  
ration and Power-up Timer configuration. See  
Section 5.0 “Oscillator Module (With Fail-Safe  
Clock Monitor)” for more information.  
The device has a noise filter in the MCLR Reset path.  
The filter will detect and ignore small pulses.  
Note:  
A Reset does not drive the MCLR pin low.  
The Power-up Timer and oscillator start-up timer run  
independently of MCLR Reset. If MCLR is kept low long  
enough, the Power-up Timer and oscillator start-up  
timer will expire. Upon bringing MCLR high, the device  
will begin execution immediately (see Figure 6-3). This  
is useful for testing purposes or to synchronize more  
than one device operating in parallel.  
6.4.2  
MCLR DISABLED  
When MCLR is disabled, the pin functions as a general  
purpose input and the internal weak pull-up is under  
software control. See Section 12.5 “PORTE Registers”  
for more information.

INTERRUPTS  
The interrupt feature allows certain events to preempt  
normal program flow. Firmware is used to determine  
the source of the interrupt and act accordingly. Some  
interrupts can be configured to wake the MCU from  
Sleep mode.  
This chapter contains the following information for  
Interrupts:  
• Operation  
• Interrupt Latency  
• Interrupts During Sleep  
• INT Pin  
• Automatic Context Saving  
Many peripherals produce interrupts. Refer to the  
corresponding chapters for details.  
A block diagram of the interrupt logic is shown in  
Figure 7-1.

Interrupt Latency  
Interrupts are disabled upon any device Reset. They  
are enabled by setting the following bits:  
Interrupt latency is defined as the time from when the  
interrupt event occurs to the time code execution at the  
interrupt vector begins. The latency for synchronous  
interrupts is three or four instruction cycles. For  
asynchronous interrupts, the latency is three to five  
instruction cycles, depending on when the interrupt  
occurs. See Figure 7-2 and Figure 7-3 for more details.  
• GIE bit of the INTCON register  
• Interrupt Enable bit(s) for the specific interrupt  
event(s)  
• PEIE bit of the INTCON register (if the Interrupt  
Enable bit of the interrupt event is contained in the  
PIEx register)  
The INTCON, PIR1 and PIR2 registers record individual  
interrupts via interrupt flag bits. Interrupt flag bits will be  
set, regardless of the status of the GIE, PEIE and  
individual interrupt enable bits.  
The following events happen when an interrupt event  
occurs while the GIE bit is set:  
• Current prefetched instruction is flushed  
• GIE bit is cleared  
• Current Program Counter (PC) is pushed onto the  
stack  
• Critical registers are automatically saved to the  
shadow registers (See Section 7.5 “Automatic  
Context Saving”)  
• PC is loaded with the interrupt vector 0004h  
The firmware within the Interrupt Service Routine (ISR)  
should determine the source of the interrupt by polling  
the interrupt flag bits. The interrupt flag bits must be  
cleared before exiting the ISR to avoid repeated  
interrupts. Because the GIE bit is cleared, any interrupt  
that occurs while executing the ISR will be recorded  
through its interrupt flag, but will not cause the  
processor to redirect to the interrupt vector.  
The RETFIE instruction exits the ISR by popping the  
previous address from the stack, restoring the saved  
context from the shadow registers and setting the GIE  
bit.  
For additional information on a specific interrupt’s  
operation, refer to its peripheral chapter.  
Note 1: Individual interrupt flag bits are set,  
regardless of the state of any other  
enable bits.  
2: All interrupts will be ignored while the GIE  
bit is cleared. Any interrupt occurring  
while the GIE bit is clear will be serviced  
when the GIE bit is set again.

Interrupts During Sleep  
Some interrupts can be used to wake from Sleep. To  
wake from Sleep, the peripheral must be able to  
operate without the system clock. The interrupt source  
must have the appropriate Interrupt Enable bit(s) set  
prior to entering Sleep.  
On waking from Sleep, if the GIE bit is also set, the  
processor will branch to the interrupt vector. Otherwise,  
the processor will continue executing instructions after  
the SLEEPinstruction. The instruction directly after the  
SLEEP instruction will always be executed before  
branching to the ISR. Refer to the Section 8.0 “Power-  
Down Mode (Sleep)” for more details.  
7.4  
INT Pin  
The INT pin can be used to generate an asynchronous  
edge-triggered interrupt. This interrupt is enabled by  
setting the INTE bit of the INTCON register. The  
INTEDG bit of the OPTION_REG register determines on  
which edge the interrupt will occur. When the INTEDG  
bit is set, the rising edge will cause the interrupt. When  
the INTEDG bit is clear, the falling edge will cause the  
interrupt. The INTF bit of the INTCON register will be set  
when a valid edge appears on the INT pin. If the GIE and  
INTE bits are also set, the processor will redirect  
program execution to the interrupt vector.  
7.5  
Automatic Context Saving  
Upon entering an interrupt, the return PC address is  
saved on the stack. Additionally, the following registers  
are automatically saved in the shadow registers:  
• W register  
• STATUS register (except for TO and PD)  
• BSR register  
• FSR registers  
• PCLATH register  
Upon exiting the Interrupt Service Routine, these  
registers are automatically restored. Any modifications  
to these registers during the ISR will be lost. If  
modifications to any of these registers are desired, the  
corresponding shadow register should be modified and  
the value will be restored when exiting the ISR. The  
shadow registers are available in Bank 31 and are  
readable and writable. Depending on the user’s  
application, other registers may also need to be saved.

Wake-up from Sleep  
8.0  
POWER-DOWN MODE (SLEEP)  
The device can wake-up from Sleep through one of the  
following events:  
The Power-Down mode is entered by executing a  
SLEEPinstruction.  
1. External Reset input on MCLR pin, if enabled  
2. BOR Reset, if enabled  
Upon entering Sleep mode, the following conditions  
exist:  
3. POR Reset  
1. WDT will be cleared but keeps running, if  
enabled for operation during Sleep.  
4. Watchdog Timer, if enabled  
5. Any external interrupt  
2. PD bit of the STATUS register is cleared.  
3. TO bit of the STATUS register is set.  
4. CPU clock is disabled.  
6. Interrupts by peripherals capable of running  
during Sleep (see individual peripheral for more  
information)  
5. 31 kHz LFINTOSC is unaffected and peripherals  
that operate from it may continue operation in  
Sleep.  
The first three events will cause a device Reset. The  
last three events are considered a continuation of  
program execution. To determine whether a device  
Reset or wake-up event occurred, refer to Section 6.11  
“Determining the Cause of a Reset”.  
6. Secondary oscillator is unaffected and peripherals  
that operate from it may continue operation in  
Sleep.  
7. ADC is unaffected, if the dedicated FRC clock is  
selected.  
When the SLEEPinstruction is being executed, the next  
instruction (PC + 1) is prefetched. For the device to  
wake-up through an interrupt event, the corresponding  
interrupt enable bit must be enabled. Wake-up will  
occur regardless of the state of the GIE bit. If the GIE  
bit is disabled, the device continues execution at the  
instruction after the SLEEPinstruction. If the GIE bit is  
enabled, the device executes the instruction after the  
SLEEPinstruction, the device will then call the Interrupt  
Service Routine. In cases where the execution of the  
instruction following SLEEP is not desirable, the user  
should have a NOPafter the SLEEPinstruction.  
8. I/O ports maintain the status they had before  
SLEEPwas executed (driving high, low or high-  
impedance).  
9. Resets other than WDT are not affected by  
Sleep mode.  
Refer to individual chapters for more details on  
peripheral operation during Sleep.  
To minimize current consumption, the following  
conditions should be considered:  
• I/O pins should not be floating  
The WDT is cleared when the device wakes up from  
Sleep, regardless of the source of wake-up.  
• External circuitry sinking current from I/O pins  
• Internal circuitry sourcing current from I/O pins  
• Current draw from pins with internal weak pull-ups  
• Modules using 31 kHz LFINTOSC  
• Modules using secondary oscillator  
I/O pins that are high-impedance inputs should be  
pulled to VDD or VSS externally to avoid switching  
currents caused by floating inputs.  
Examples of internal circuitry that might be sourcing  
current include the FVR module. See Section 14.0  
“Fixed Voltage Reference (FVR)” for more  
information on this module.

execution of a SLEEPinstruction  
8.1.1  
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:  
- SLEEPinstruction will be completely  
executed  
- Device will immediately wake-up from Sleep  
- WDT and WDT prescaler will be cleared  
- TO bit of the STATUS register will be set  
- PD bit of the STATUS register will be cleared  
• If the interrupt occurs before the execution of a  
SLEEPinstruction  
- SLEEPinstruction will execute as a NOP  
- WDT and WDT prescaler will not be cleared  
- TO bit of the STATUS register will not be set  
Even if the flag bits were checked before executing a  
SLEEP instruction, it may be possible for flag bits to  
become set before the SLEEPinstruction completes. To  
determine whether a SLEEPinstruction executed, test  
the PD bit. If the PD bit is set, the SLEEP instruction  
was executed as a NOP.  
- PD bit of the STATUS register will not be  
cleared

PERIPHERAL USAGE IN SLEEP  
8.2  
Low-Power Sleep Mode  
Some peripherals that can operate in Sleep mode will  
not operate properly with the Low-Power Sleep mode  
selected. The LDO will remain in the Normal Power  
mode when those peripherals are enabled. The Low-  
Power Sleep mode is intended for use with these  
peripherals:  
The PIC16F1512/3 device contains an internal Low  
Dropout (LDO) voltage regulator, which allows the  
device I/O pins to operate at voltages up to 5.5V while  
the internal device logic operates at a lower voltage.  
The LDO and its associated reference circuitry must  
remain active when the device is in Sleep mode. The  
PIC16F1512/3 allows the user to optimize the  
operating current in Sleep, depending on the  
application requirements.  
• Brown-Out Reset (BOR)  
• Watchdog Timer (WDT)  
• External interrupt pin/interrupt-on-change pins  
• Timer1 (with external clock source)  
• CCP (Capture mode)  
A Low-Power Sleep mode can be selected by setting  
the VREGPM bit of the VREGCON register. With this  
bit set, the LDO and reference circuitry are placed in a  
low-power state when the device is in Sleep.  
Note:  
The PIC16LF1512/3 does not have a  
configurable Low-Power Sleep mode.  
PIC16LF1512/3 is an unregulated device  
and is always in the lowest power state  
when in Sleep, with no wake-up time  
penalty. This device has a lower maximum  
VDD and I/O voltage than the  
8.2.1  
SLEEP CURRENT VS. WAKE-UP  
TIME  
In the default operating mode, the LDO and reference  
circuitry remain in the normal configuration while in  
Sleep. The device is able to exit Sleep mode quickly  
since all circuits remain active. In Low-Power Sleep  
mode, when waking up from Sleep, an extra delay time  
is required for these circuits to return to the normal  
configuration and stabilize.  
PIC16F1512/3.  
See  
Section 25.0  
“Electrical Specifications” for more  
information.  
The Low-Power Sleep mode is beneficial for  
applications that stay in Sleep mode for long periods of  
time. The normal mode is beneficial for applications  
that need to wake from Sleep quickly and frequently.

On power-up, the external capacitor will load the LDO  
voltage regulator. To prevent erroneous operation, the  
device is held in Reset while a constant current source  
charges the external capacitor. After the cap is fully  
charged, the device is released from Reset. For more  
information on the constant current rate, refer to the  
LDO Regulator Characteristics Table in Section 25.0  
“Electrical Specifications”.

LOW DROPOUT (LDO)  
VOLTAGE REGULATOR  
The PIC16F1512/3 has an internal Low Dropout  
Regulator (LDO) which provides operation above 3.6V.  
The LDO regulates a voltage for the internal device  
logic while permitting the VDD and I/O pins to operate  
at a higher voltage. There is no user enable/disable  
control available for the LDO, it is always active. The  
PIC16LF1512/3 operates at a maximum VDD of 3.6V  
and does not incorporate an LDO.  
A device I/O pin may be configured as the LDO voltage  
output, identified as the VCAP pin. Although not  
required, an external low-ESR capacitor may be  
connected to the VCAP pin for additional regulator  
stability.  
The VCAPEN bit of Configuration Words determines  
which pin is assigned as the VCAP pin. Refer to Table 9-1.

10.0 WATCHDOG TIMER (WDT)  
The Watchdog Timer is a system timer that generates  
a Reset if the firmware does not issue a CLRWDT  
instruction within the time-out period. The Watchdog  
Timer is typically used to recover the system from  
unexpected events.  
The WDT has the following features:  
• Independent clock source  
• Multiple operating modes  
- WDT is always on  
- WDT is off when in Sleep  
- WDT is controlled by software  
- WDT is always off  
• Configurable time-out period is from 1 ms to 256  
seconds (nominal)  
• Multiple Reset conditions  
• Operation during Sleep

10.1 Independent Clock Source  
10.3 Time-Out Period  
The WDT derives its time base from the 31 kHz  
LFINTOSC internal oscillator. Time intervals in this  
chapter are based on a nominal interval of 1 ms. See  
Section 25.0 “Electrical Specifications” for the  
LFINTOSC tolerances.  
The WDTPS bits of the WDTCON register set the  
time-out period from 1 ms to 256 seconds (nominal).  
After a Reset, the default time-out period is two  
seconds.  
10.4 Clearing the WDT  
10.2 WDT Operating Modes  
The WDT is cleared when any of the following  
conditions occur:  
The Watchdog Timer module has four operating modes  
controlled by the WDTE<1:0> bits in Configuration  
Words. See Table 10-1.  
• Any Reset  
CLRWDTinstruction is executed  
• Device enters Sleep  
10.2.1  
WDT IS ALWAYS ON  
• Device wakes up from Sleep  
• Oscillator fail  
When the WDTE bits of Configuration Words are set to  
11’, the WDT is always on.  
• WDT is disabled  
WDT protection is active during Sleep.  
• Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) is running  
10.2.2  
WDT IS OFF IN SLEEP  
See Table 10-2 for more information.  
When the WDTE bits of Configuration Words are set to  
10’, the WDT is on, except in Sleep.  
10.5 Operation During Sleep  
WDT protection is not active during Sleep.  
When the device enters Sleep, the WDT is cleared. If  
the WDT is enabled during Sleep, the WDT resumes  
counting.  
10.2.3  
WDT CONTROLLED BY SOFTWARE  
When the WDTE bits of Configuration Words are set to  
01’, the WDT is controlled by the SWDTEN bit of the  
WDTCON register.  
When the device exits Sleep, the WDT is cleared  
again. The WDT remains clear until the OST, if  
enabled, completes. See Section 5.0 “Oscillator  
Module (With Fail-Safe Clock Monitor)” for more  
information on the OST.  
WDT protection is unchanged by Sleep. See  
Table 10-1 for more details.  
When a WDT time-out occurs while the device is in  
Sleep, no Reset is generated. Instead, the device  
wakes up and resumes operation. The TO and PD bits  
in the STATUS register are changed to indicate the  
event. See Section 3.0 “Memory Organization” and  
The STATUS register (Register 3-1) for more  
information.

11.1.1  
PMCON1 AND PMCON2  
REGISTERS  
11.0 FLASH PROGRAM MEMORY  
CONTROL  
PMCON1 is the control register for Flash program  
memory accesses.  
The Flash program memory is readable and writable  
during normal operation over the full VDD range.  
Program memory is indirectly addressed using Special  
Function Registers (SFRs). The SFRs used to access  
program memory are:  
Control bits RD and WR initiate read and write,  
respectively. These bits cannot be cleared, only set, in  
software. They are cleared by hardware at completion  
of the read or write operation. The inability to clear the  
WR bit in software prevents the accidental, premature  
termination of a write operation.  
• PMCON1  
• PMCON2  
• PMDATL  
• PMDATH  
• PMADRL  
• PMADRH  
The WREN bit, when set, will allow a write operation to  
occur. On power-up, the WREN bit is clear. The  
WRERR bit is set when a write operation is interrupted  
by a Reset during normal operation. In these situations,  
following Reset, the user can check the WRERR bit  
and execute the appropriate error handling routine.  
When accessing the program memory, the  
PMDATH:PMDATL register pair forms a 2-byte word  
that holds the 14-bit data for read/write, and the  
PMADRH:PMADRL register pair forms a 2-byte word  
that holds the 15-bit address of the program memory  
location being read.  
The PMCON2 register is a write-only register. Attempting  
to read the PMCON2 register will return all ‘0’s.  
To enable writes to the program memory, a specific  
pattern (the unlock sequence), must be written to the  
PMCON2 register. The required unlock sequence  
prevents inadvertent writes to the program memory  
write latches and Flash program memory.  
The write time is controlled by an on-chip timer. The write/  
erase voltages are generated by an on-chip charge pump  
rated to operate over the operating voltage range of the  
device.  
11.2 Flash Program Memory Overview  
The Flash program memory can be protected in two  
ways; by code protection (CP bit in Configuration Words)  
and write protection (WRT<1:0> bits in Configuration  
Words).  
Code protection (CP = 0)(1), disables access, reading  
and writing, to the Flash program memory via external  
device programmers. Code protection does not affect  
the self-write and erase functionality. Code protection  
can only be reset by a device programmer performing  
a Bulk Erase to the device, clearing all Flash program  
memory, Configuration bits and User IDs.  
It is important to understand the Flash program memory  
structure for erase and programming operations. Flash  
program memory is arranged in rows. A row consists of  
a fixed number of 14-bit program memory words. A row  
is the minimum size that can be erased by user software.  
After a row has been erased, the user can reprogram  
all or a portion of this row. Data to be written into the  
program memory row is written to 14-bit wide data write  
latches. These write latches are not directly accessible  
to the user, but may be loaded via sequential writes to  
the PMDATH:PMDATL register pair.  
Write protection prohibits self-write and erase to a  
portion or all of the Flash program memory as defined  
by the bits WRT<1:0>. Write protection does not affect  
a device programmers ability to read, write or erase the  
device.  
Note:  
If the user wants to modify only a portion  
of a previously programmed row, then the  
contents of the entire row must be read  
and saved in RAM prior to the erase.  
Then, new data and retained data can be  
written into the write latches to reprogram  
the row of Flash program memory.  
However, any unprogrammed locations  
can be written without first erasing the row.  
In this case, it is not necessary to save and  
rewrite the other previously programmed  
locations.  
Note 1: Code protection of the entire Flash  
program memory array is enabled by  
clearing the CP bit of Configuration Words.  
11.1 PMADRL and PMADRH Registers  
The PMADRH:PMADRL register pair can address up  
to a maximum of 32K words of program memory. When  
selecting a program address value, the MSB of the  
address is written to the PMADRH register and the LSB  
is written to the PMADRL register.  
See Table 11-1 for Erase Row size and the number of  
write latches for Flash program memory.

READING THE FLASH PROGRAM  
MEMORY  
Select  
Word Address  
(PMADRH:PMADRL)  
To read a program memory location, the user must:  
1. Write the desired address to the  
PMADRH:PMADRL register pair.  
2. Clear the CFGS bit of the PMCON1 register.  
Initiate Read operation  
3. Then, set control bit RD of the PMCON1 register.  
(RD = 1)  
Once the read control bit is set, the program memory  
Flash controller will use the second instruction cycle to  
read the data. This causes the second instruction  
immediately following the “BSF PMCON1,RD” instruction  
to be ignored. The data is available in the very next cycle,  
in the PMDATH:PMDATL register pair; therefore, it can  
be read as two bytes in the following instructions.

Note:  
The two instructions following a program

This prevents the user from executing a  
two-cycle instruction on the next  
instruction after the RD bit is set.

The unlock sequence consists of the following steps:  
1. Write 55h to PMCON2

(WR = 1)  
2. Write AAh to PMCON2  
3. Set the WR bit in PMCON1  
4. NOPinstruction  
5. NOPinstruction  
Instruction Fetched ignored  
NOPexecution forced  
Once the WR bit is set, the processor will always force  
two NOP instructions. When an Erase Row or Program  
Row operation is being performed, the processor will stall  
internal operations (typical 2 ms), until the operation is  
complete and then resume with the next instruction.  
When the operation is loading the program memory write  
latches, the processor will always force the two NOP  
instructions and continue uninterrupted with the next  
instruction.  
Instruction Fetched ignored

Unlock Sequence  
Since the unlock sequence must not be interrupted,  
global interrupts should be disabled prior to the unlock  
sequence and re-enabled after the unlock sequence is  
completed.

Select  
Program or Configuration Memory  
(CFGS)  
See Example 11-2.  
After the “BSF PMCON1,WR” instruction, the processor  
requires two cycles to set up the erase operation. The  
user must place two NOP instructions immediately  
following the WR bit set instruction. The processor will  
halt internal operations for the typical 2 ms erase time.  
This is not Sleep mode as the clocks and peripherals  
will continue to run. After the erase cycle, the processor  
will resume operation with the third instruction after the  
PMCON1 write instruction.

The following steps should be completed to load the  
write latches and program a row of program memory.  
These steps are divided into two parts. First, each write  
latch is loaded with data from the PMDATH:PMDATL  
using the unlock sequence with LWLO = 1. When the  
last word to be loaded into the write latch is ready, the  
LWLO bit is cleared and the unlock sequence  
executed. This initiates the programming operation,  
writing all the latches into Flash program memory.  
11.2.4  
WRITING TO FLASH PROGRAM  
MEMORY  
Program memory is programmed using the following  
steps:  
1. Load the address in PMADRH:PMADRL of the  
row to be programmed.  
2. Load each write latch with data.  
3. Initiate a programming operation.  
4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 until all data is written.  
Note:  
The special unlock sequence is required  
to load a write latch with data or initiate a  
Flash programming operation. If the  
unlock sequence is interrupted, writing to  
the latches or program memory will not be  
initiated.  
Before writing to program memory, the word(s) to be  
written must be erased or previously unwritten.  
Program memory can only be erased one row at a time.  
No automatic erase occurs upon the initiation of the  
write.  
1. Set the WREN bit of the PMCON1 register.  
2. Clear the CFGS bit of the PMCON1 register.  
Program memory can be written one or more words at  
a time. The maximum number of words written at one  
time is equal to the number of write latches. See  
Figure 11-5 (row writes to program memory with 32  
write latches) for more details.  
3. Set the LWLO bit of the PMCON1 register.  
When the LWLO bit of the PMCON1 register is  
1’, the write sequence will only load the write  
latches and will not initiate the write to Flash  
program memory.  
The write latches are aligned to the Flash row address  
boundary defined by the upper 10-bits of  
PMADRH:PMADRL, (PMADRH<6:0>:PMADRL<7:5>)  
with the lower 5-bits of PMADRL, (PMADRL<4:0>)  
determining the write latch being loaded. Write opera-  
tions do not cross these boundaries. At the completion  
of a program memory write operation, the data in the  
write latches is reset to contain 0x3FFF.  
4. Load the PMADRH:PMADRL register pair with  
the address of the location to be written.  
5. Load the PMDATH:PMDATL register pair with  
the program memory data to be written.  
6. Execute the unlock sequence (Section 11.2.2  
“Flash Memory Unlock Sequence”). The write  
latch is now loaded.  
7. Increment the PMADRH:PMADRL register pair  
to point to the next location.  
8. Repeat steps 5 through 7 until all but the last  
write latch has been loaded.  
9. Clear the LWLO bit of the PMCON1 register.  
When the LWLO bit of the PMCON1 register is  
0’, the write sequence will initiate the write to  
Flash program memory.  
10. Load the PMDATH:PMDATL register pair with  
the program memory data to be written.  
11. Execute the unlock sequence (Section 11.2.2  
“Flash Memory Unlock Sequence”). The  
entire program memory latch content is now  
written to Flash program memory.  
Note:  
The program memory write latches are  
reset to the blank state (0x3FFF) at the  
completion of every write or erase  
operation. As a result, it is not necessary  
to load all the program memory write  
latches. Unloaded latches will remain in  
the blank state.  
An example of the complete write sequence is shown in  
Example 11-3. The initial address is loaded into the  
PMADRH:PMADRL register pair; the data is loaded  
using indirect addressing.

11.3 Modifying Flash Program Memory  
When modifying existing data in a program memory  
row, and data within that row must be preserved, it must  
first be read and saved in a RAM image. Program  
memory is modified using the following steps:  
Start  
Modify Operation  
1. Load the starting address of the row to be  
modified.  
2. Read the existing data from the row into a RAM  
image.  
Read Operation  
Figure 11-2  
3. Modify the RAM image to contain the new data  
to be written into program memory.  
4. Load the starting address of the row to be  
rewritten.  
An image of the entire row read  
must be stored in RAM  
5. Erase the program memory row.  
6. Load the write latches with data from the RAM  
image.  
7. Initiate a programming operation.

Instead of accessing program memory, the User ID’s,  
Device ID/Revision ID and Configuration Words can be  
accessed when CFGS = 1 in the PMCON1 register.  
This is the region that would be pointed to by  
PC<15> = 1, but not all addresses are accessible.  
Different access may exist for reads and writes. Refer  
to Table 11-2.  
When read access is initiated on an address outside  
the

11.5 Write Verify  
It is considered good programming practice to verify that  
program memory writes agree with the intended value.  
Since program memory is stored as a full page then the  
stored program memory contents are compared with the  
intended data stored in RAM after the last write is  
complete.

Ports that support analog inputs have an associated  
ANSELx register. When an ANSEL bit is set, the digital  
input buffer associated with that bit is disabled.  
Disabling the input buffer prevents analog signal levels  
on the pin between a logic high and low from causing  
excessive current in the logic input circuitry. A

PORTA FUNCTIONS AND OUTPUT  
PRIORITIES  
12.2 PORTA Registers  
PORTA is an 8-bit wide, bidirectional port. The  
corresponding data direction register is TRISA  
(Register 12-3). Setting a TRISA bit (= 1) will make the  
corresponding PORTA pin an input (i.e., disable the  
output driver). Clearing a TRISA bit (= 0) will make the  
corresponding PORTA pin an output (i.e., enables  
output driver and puts the contents of the output latch  
on the selected pin). Example 12-1 shows how to  
initialize PORTA.  
Each PORTA pin is multiplexed with other functions. The  
pins, their combined functions and their output priorities  
are shown in Table 12-2.  
When multiple outputs are enabled, the actual pin  
control goes to the peripheral with the highest priority.  
Analog input functions, such as ADC, are not shown in  
the priority lists. These inputs are active when the I/O  
pin is set for Analog mode using the ANSELx registers.  
Digital output functions may control the pin when it is in  
Analog mode with the priority shown in Table 12-2.  
Reading the PORTA register (Register 12-2) reads the  
status of the pins, whereas writing to it will write to the  
PORT latch. All write operations are read-modify-write  
operations. Therefore, a write to a port implies that the  
port pins are read, this value is modified and then  
written to the PORT data latch (LATA).

The TRISA register (Register 12-3) controls the  
PORTA pin output drivers, even when they are being  
used as analog inputs. The user should ensure the bits  
in the TRISA register are maintained set when using  
them as analog inputs. I/O pins configured as analog  
input always read ‘0’.

The ANSELA register (Register 12-5) is used to  
configure the Input mode of an I/O pin to analog.

digital reads on the pin to be read as ‘0’ and allow  
analog functions on the pin to operate correctly.

The state of the ANSELA bits has no effect on digital

will still operate as a digital output, but the Input mode  
will be analog. This can cause unexpected behavior  
when executing read-modify-write instructions on the  
affected port.  
Note 1: Priority listed from highest to lowest.  
Note:  
The ANSELA bits default to the Analog  
mode after Reset. To use any pins as  
digital general purpose or peripheral  
inputs, the corresponding ANSEL bits  
must be initialized to ‘0’ by user software.

PORTB FUNCTIONS AND OUTPUT  
PRIORITIES  
12.3 PORTB Registers  
PORTB is an 8-bit wide, bidirectional port. The  
corresponding data direction register is TRISB  
(Register 12-7). Setting a TRISB bit (= 1) will make the  
corresponding PORTB pin an input (i.e., put the  
corresponding output driver in a High-Impedance mode).  
Clearing a TRISB bit (= 0) will make the corresponding  
PORTB pin an output (i.e., enable the output driver and  
put the contents of the output latch on the selected pin).  
Example 12-1 shows how to initialize an I/O port.  
Each PORTB pin is multiplexed with other functions. The  
pins, their combined functions and their output priorities  
are shown in Table 12-5.  
When multiple outputs are enabled, the actual pin  
control goes to the peripheral with the highest priority.  
Analog input and some digital input functions are not  
included in the list below. These input functions can  
remain active when the pin is configured as an output.  
Certain digital input functions override other port  
functions and are included in Table 12-5.  
Reading the PORTB register (Register 12-6) reads the  
status of the pins, whereas writing to it will write to the  
PORT latch. All write operations are read-modify-write  
operations. Therefore, a write to a port implies that the  
port pins are read, this value is modified and then written  
to the PORT data latch (LATB).

PRIORITIES  
12.4 PORTC Registers  
PORTC is an 8-bit wide bidirectional port. The  
corresponding data direction register is TRISC  
(Register 12-12). Setting a TRISC bit (= 1) will make the  
corresponding PORTC pin an input (i.e., put the  
corresponding output driver in a High-Impedance mode).  
Clearing a TRISC bit (= 0) will make the corresponding  
PORTC pin an output (i.e., enable the output driver and  
put the contents of the output latch on the selected pin).  
Example 12-1 shows how to initialize an I/O port.  
Each PORTC pin is multiplexed with other functions. The  
pins, their combined functions and their output priorities  
are shown in Table 12-7.  
When multiple outputs are enabled, the actual pin  
control goes to the peripheral with the highest priority.  
Analog input and some digital input functions are not

Reading the PORTC register (Register 12-11) reads the

PORTE FUNCTIONS AND OUTPUT  
PRIORITIES  
12.5 PORTE Registers  
PORTE is  
a 4-bit wide, bidirectional port. The  
PORTE has no peripheral outputs, so the PORTE  
output has no priority function.  
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.,  
enable the output driver and put the contents of the  
output latch on the selected pin). The exception is RE3,  
which is input only and its TRIS bit will always read as  
1’. Example 12-1 shows how to initialize an I/O port.  
Reading the PORTE register (Register 12-15) reads  
the status of the pins, whereas writing to it will write to  
the PORT latch. All write operations are  
read-modify-write operations. Therefore, a write to a  
port implies that the port pins are read, this value is  
modified and then written to the PORT data latch  
(LATE). RE3 reads ‘0’ when MCLRE = 1.

13.3 Interrupt Flags  
13.0 INTERRUPT-ON-CHANGE  
The IOCBFx bits located in the IOCBF register are  
status flags that correspond to the interrupt-on-change  
pins of PORTB. If an expected edge is detected on an  
appropriately enabled pin, then the status flag for that pin  
will be set, and an interrupt will be generated if the IOCIE  
bit is set. The IOCIF bit of the INTCON register reflects  
the status of all IOCBFx bits.  
The PORTB pins can be configured to operate as  
Interrupt-On-Change (IOC) pins. An interrupt can be  
generated by detecting a signal that has either a rising  
edge or a falling edge. Any individual PORTB pin, or  
combination of PORTB pins, can be configured to  
generate an interrupt. The interrupt-on-change module  
has the following features:  
• Interrupt-on-Change enable (Master Switch)  
• Individual pin configuration  
13.4 Clearing Interrupt Flags  
• Rising and falling edge detection  
• Individual pin interrupt flags  
The individual status flags, (IOCBFx bits), can be  
cleared by resetting them to zero. If another edge is  
detected during this clearing operation, the associated  
status flag will be set at the end of the sequence,  
regardless of the value actually being written.  
Figure 13-1 is a block diagram of the IOC module.  
13.1 Enabling the Module  
In order to ensure that no detected edge is lost while  
clearing flags, only AND operations masking out known  
changed bits should be performed. The following  
sequence is an example of what should be performed.  
To allow individual PORTB pins to generate an interrupt,  
the IOCIE bit of the INTCON register must be set. If the  
IOCIE bit is disabled, the edge detection on the pin will  
still occur, but an interrupt will not be generated.  
EXAMPLE 13-1:  
CLEARING INTERRUPT  
FLAGS  
13.2 Individual Pin Configuration  
(PORTA EXAMPLE)  
For each PORTB pin, a rising edge detector and a falling  
edge detector are present. To enable a pin to detect a  
rising edge, the associated IOCBPx bit of the IOCBP  
register is set. To enable a pin to detect a falling edge,  
the associated IOCBNx bit of the IOCBN register is set.  
MOVLW 0xff  
XORWF IOCAF, W  
ANDWF IOCAF, F  
A pin can be configured to detect rising and falling  
edges simultaneously by setting both the IOCBPx bit  
and the IOCBNx bit of the IOCBP and IOCBN registers,  
respectively.  
13.5 Operation in Sleep  
The interrupt-on-change interrupt sequence will wake  
the device from Sleep mode, if the IOCIE bit is set.  
If an edge is detected while in Sleep mode, the IOCBF  
register will be updated prior to the first instruction  
executed out of Sleep.

14.1 Independent Gain Amplifiers  
14.0 FIXED VOLTAGE REFERENCE  
(FVR)  
The output of the FVR supplied to the ADC module is  
routed through a programmable gain amplifier. The  
amplifier can be configured to amplify the reference  
voltage by 1x, 2x or 4x, to produce the three possible  
voltage levels.  
The Fixed Voltage Reference, or FVR, is a stable  
voltage reference, independent of VDD, with 1.024V,  
2.048V or 4.096V selectable output levels. The output  
of the FVR can be configured to supply a reference  
voltage to the following:  
The ADFVR<1:0> bits of the FVRCON register are  
used to enable and configure the gain amplifier settings  
for the reference supplied to the ADC module. Refer-  
ence Section 16.0 “Analog-to-Digital Converter  
(ADC) Module” for additional information.  
• ADC input channel  
• ADC positive reference  
• Comparator positive input  
The FVR can be enabled by setting the FVREN bit of  
the FVRCON register.  
14.2 FVR Stabilization Period  
When the Fixed Voltage Reference module is enabled, it  
requires time for the reference and amplifier circuits to  
stabilize. Once the circuits stabilize and are ready for use,  
the FVRRDY bit of the FVRCON register will be set. See  
Section 25.0 “Electrical Specifications” for the  
minimum delay requirement.

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

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

15.1 Circuit Operation  
15.2 Minimum Operating VDD  
Figure 15-1 shows a simplified block diagram of the  
temperature circuit. The proportional voltage output is  
achieved by measuring the forward voltage drop across  
multiple silicon junctions.  
When the temperature circuit is operated in low range,  
the device may be operated at any operating voltage  
that is within specifications.  
Equation 15-1 describes the output characteristics of  
the temperature indicator.  
When the temperature circuit is operated in high range,  
the device operating voltage, VDD, must be high  
enough to ensure that the temperature circuit is  
correctly biased.  
EQUATION 15-1: VOUT RANGES  
Table 15-1 shows the recommended minimum VDD vs.  
range setting.

15.3 Temperature Output  
The circuit is enabled by setting the TSEN bit of the  
FVRCON register. When disabled, the circuit draws no  
current.  
The output of the circuit is measured using the internal  
Analog-to-Digital Converter. A channel is reserved for  
the temperature circuit output. Refer to Section 16.0  
“Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) Module” for  
detailed information.  
The circuit operates in either high or low range. The high  
range, selected by setting the TSRNG bit of the  
FVRCON register, provides a wider output voltage. This  
provides more resolution over the temperature range,  
but may be less consistent from part to part. This range  
requires a higher bias voltage to operate and thus, a  
higher VDD is needed.  
The low range is selected by clearing the TSRNG bit of  
the FVRCON register. The low range generates a lower  
voltage drop and thus, a lower bias voltage is needed to  
operate the circuit. The low range is provided for low  
voltage operation.

15.4 ADC Acquisition Time  
To ensure accurate temperature measurements, the  
user must wait at least 200 s after the ADC input  
multiplexer is connected to the temperature indicator  
output before the conversion is performed. In addition,  
the user must wait 200 s between sequential  
conversions of the temperature indicator output.

16.0 ANALOG-TO-DIGITAL  
CONVERTER (ADC) MODULE  
Note:  
This section of the ADC chapter discusses  
legacy operation. If new Capacitive  
Voltage Divider (CVD) features are  
needed, refer to Section 16.5 “Capacitive  
Voltage Divider (CVD)” for more  
information.  
The Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) allows  
conversion of an analog input signal to a 10-bit binary  
representation of that signal. This device uses analog  
inputs, which are multiplexed into a single sample and  
hold circuit. The output of the sample and hold is  
connected to the input of the converter. The converter  
generates a 10-bit binary result via successive  
approximation and stores the conversion result into the  
ADC result registers (ADRESH:ADRESL register pair).  
Figure 16-1 shows the block diagram of the ADC.  
The ADC voltage reference is software selectable to be  
either internally generated or externally supplied.  
The ADC can generate an interrupt upon completion of  
a conversion. This interrupt can be used to wake-up the  
device from Sleep.

CONVERSION CLOCK  
16.1 ADC Configuration  
The source of the conversion clock is software  
selectable via the ADCS bits of the ADCON1 register.  
There are seven possible clock options:  
When configuring and using the ADC the following  
functions must be considered:  
• Port configuration  
• FOSC/2  
• Channel selection  
• FOSC/4  
• ADC voltage reference selection  
• ADC conversion clock source  
• Interrupt control  
• FOSC/8  
• FOSC/16  
• FOSC/32  
• Result formatting  
• FOSC/64  
16.1.1  
PORT CONFIGURATION  
• FRC (dedicated internal oscillator)  
The ADC can be used to convert both analog and  
digital signals. When converting analog signals, the I/O  
pin should be configured for analog by setting the  
associated TRIS and ANSEL bits. Refer to  
Section 12.0 “I/O Ports” for more information.  
The time to complete one bit conversion is defined as  
TAD. One full 10-bit conversion requires 11.5 TAD  
periods as shown in Figure 16-2.  
For correct conversion, the appropriate TAD specifica-  
tion must be met. Refer to the A/D conversion require-  
ments in Section 25.0 “Electrical Specifications” for  
more information. Table 16-5 gives examples of  
appropriate ADC clock selections.  
Note:  
Analog voltages on any pin that is defined  
as a digital input may cause the input buf-  
fer to conduct excess current.  
Note:  
Unless using the FRC, any changes in the  
system clock frequency will change the  
ADC clock frequency, which may  
adversely affect the ADC result.  
16.1.2  
CHANNEL SELECTION  
There are up to 21 channel selections available:  
- AN<19:8, 4:0> pins  
- VREF+ (ADC positive reference)  
- VREF- (ADC negative reference)  
- Temperature Indicator  
- FVR (Fixed Voltage Reference) Output  
Refer to Section 14.0 “Fixed Voltage Reference  
(FVR)” and Section 15.0 “Temperature Indicator  
Module” for more information on these channel  
selections.  
The CHS bits of the ADCON0 register determine which  
channel is connected to the sample and hold circuit.  
When changing channels, a delay is required before  
starting the next conversion. Refer to Section 16.6  
“Automated Capacitive Voltage Divider” for more  
information.  
16.1.3  
ADC VOLTAGE REFERENCE  
The ADPREF bits of the ADCON1 register provides  
control of the positive voltage reference. The positive  
voltage reference can be:  
• VREF+ pin  
• VDD  
• FVR (Fixed Voltage Reference)  
See Section 14.0 “Fixed Voltage Reference (FVR)”  
for more details on the fixed voltage reference.

Legend: Shaded cells are outside of recommended range.  
Note 1: The FRC source has a typical TAD time of 1.6 s for VDD.  
2: These values violate the minimum required TAD time.  
3: For faster conversion times, the selection of another clock source is recommended.  
4: The ADC clock period (TAD) and total ADC conversion time can be minimized when the ADC clock is  
derived from the system clock FOSC. However, the FRC clock source must be used when conversions are  
to be performed with the device in Sleep mode.

INTERRUPTS  
16.1.6  
RESULT FORMATTING  
The ADC module allows for the ability to generate an  
interrupt upon completion of an Analog-to-Digital  
conversion. The ADC Interrupt Flag is the ADIF bit in  
the PIR1 register. The ADC Interrupt Enable is the  
ADIE bit in the PIE1 register. The ADIF bit must be  
cleared in software.  
The 10-bit A/D conversion result can be supplied in two  
formats, left justified or right justified. The ADFM bit of  
the ADCON1 register controls the output format.  
Figure 16-7 shows the two output formats.  
Note 1: The ADIF bit is set at the completion of  
every conversion, regardless of whether  
or not the ADC interrupt is enabled.  
2: The ADC operates during Sleep only  
when the FRC oscillator is selected.  
This interrupt can be generated while the device is  
operating or while in Sleep. If the device is in Sleep, the  
interrupt will wake-up the device. Upon waking from  
Sleep, the next instruction following the SLEEP  
instruction is always executed. If the user is attempting  
to wake-up from Sleep and resume in-line code  
execution, the GIE and PEIE bits of the INTCON  
register must be disabled. If the GIE and PEIE bits of  
the INTCON register are enabled, execution will switch  
to the Interrupt Service Routine.

ADC OPERATION DURING SLEEP  
16.2 ADC Operation  
The ADC module can operate during Sleep. This  
requires the ADC clock source to be set to the FRC  
option. When the FRC clock source is selected, the  
ADC waits one additional instruction before starting the  
conversion. This allows the SLEEP instruction to be  
executed, which can reduce system noise during the  
conversion. If the ADC interrupt is enabled, the device  
will wake-up from Sleep when the conversion  
completes. If the ADC interrupt is disabled, the ADC  
module is turned off after the conversion completes,  
although the ADON bit remains set.  
16.2.1  
STARTING A CONVERSION  
To enable the ADC module, the ADON bit of the  
ADCON0 register must be set to a ‘1’. Setting the GO/  
DONE bit of the ADCON0 register to a ‘1’ will start the  
Analog-to-Digital conversion.  
Note:  
The GO/DONE bit should not be set in the  
same instruction that turns on the ADC.  
Refer to Section 16.2.6 “A/D Conver-  
sion Procedure”.  
When the ADC clock source is something other than  
16.2.2  
COMPLETION OF A CONVERSION

When the conversion is complete, the ADC module will:

• Clear the GO/DONE bit  
• Set the ADIF Interrupt Flag bit  
16.2.5  
SPECIAL EVENT TRIGGER  
• Update the ADRESH and ADRESL registers with  
new conversion result  
The Special Event Trigger allows periodic ADC  
measurements without software intervention, using the  
TRIGSEL bits of the AADCON2 register. When this  
trigger occurs, the GO/DONE bit is set by hardware  
from one of the following sources:  
16.2.3  
TERMINATING A CONVERSION  
If a conversion must be terminated before completion,  
the GO/DONE bit can be cleared in software. The  
ADRESH and ADRESL registers will be updated with  
the partially complete Analog-to-Digital conversion  
sample. Incomplete bits will match the last bit  
converted.  
• CCP1  
• CCP2  
• Timer0 Overflow  
• Timer1 Overflow  
• Timer2 Match to PR2  
Note:  
A device Reset forces all registers to their  
Reset state. Thus, the ADC module is  
turned off and any pending conversion is  
terminated.

source impedance is decreased, the acquisition time  
may be decreased. After the analog input channel is  
selected (or changed), an A/D acquisition must be  
done before the conversion can be started. To calculate  
the minimum acquisition time, Equation 16-1 may be  
used. This equation assumes that 1/2 LSb error is used  
(1,024 steps for the ADC). The 1/2 LSb error is the  
maximum error allowed for the ADC to meet its  
specified resolution.  
16.4 A/D Acquisition Requirements  
For the ADC to meet its specified accuracy, the charge  
holding capacitor (CHOLD) must be allowed to fully  
charge to the input channel voltage level. The Analog  
Input model is shown in Figure 16-4. The source  
impedance (RS) and the internal sampling switch (RSS)  
impedance directly affect the time required to charge  
the capacitor CHOLD. The sampling switch (RSS)  
impedance varies over the device voltage (VDD), refer  
to Figure 16-4. The maximum recommended  
impedance for analog sources is 10 k. As the  
EQUATION 16-1: ACQUISITION TIME EXAMPLE  
Temperature = 50°C and external impedance of 10k5.0V VDD  
Assumptions:  
TACQ = Amplifier Settling Time + Hold Capacitor Charging Time + Temperature Coefficient  
= TAMP + TC + TCOFF  
= 2µs + TC + Temperature - 25°C0.05µs/°C  
The value for TC can be approximated with the following equations:

Note: Where n = number of bits of the ADC.  
Solving for TC:  
TC = CHOLDRIC + RSS + RSln(1/2047)  
= 10pF1k+ 7k+ 10kln(0.000488)  
= 1.37µs  
Therefore:  
TACQ = 2µs + 1.37µs + 50°C- 25°C0.05µs/°C  
= 4.62µs  
Note 1: The reference voltage (VREF) has no effect on the equation, since it cancels itself out.  
2: The charge holding capacitor (CHOLD) is not discharged after each conversion.  
3: The maximum recommended impedance for analog sources is 10 k. This is required to meet the pin  
leakage specification.

16.5 Capacitive Voltage Divider (CVD)  
16.5.1 ADC REGISTER MAPPING  
The source of the conversion clock is software  
selectable via the ADCS bits of the AADCON1 register.  
There are seven possible clock options:  
The ADC module with Capacitive Voltage Divider  
(CVD) is an enhanced version of the standard ADC  
module as stated in Section 16.0 “Analog-to-Digital  
Converter (ADC) Module” through Section 16.3  
“ADC Register Definitions” and is backward  
compatible with the other devices in this family. Control  
of the standard ADC module uses Bank 1 registers,  
see Table 16-4. This set of registers are mapped into  
Bank 14 with the control registers for the ADC module  
with capacitive voltage divider control. Although this  
subset of registers have different names, they are  
identical. Since the registers for the standard ADC are  
mapped into the Bank 14 address space, any changes  
to registers in Bank 1 will be reflected in Bank 14 and  
vice-versa.  
• FOSC/2  
• FOSC/4  
• FOSC/8  
• FOSC/16  
• FOSC/32  
• FOSC/64  
• FRC (dedicated internal oscillator)  
The time to complete one bit conversion is defined as  
TAD. One full 10-bit conversion requires 11.5 TAD  
periods as shown in Figure 16-6.  
For correct conversion, the appropriate TAD specifica-  
tion must be met. Refer to the A/D conversion require-  
ments in Section 25.0 “Electrical Specifications” for  
more information. Table 16-5 gives examples of  
appropriate ADC clock selections.  
TABLE 16-4: ADC REGISTER MAPPING  
[Bank 14 Address]  
[Bank 1 Address]  
Note:  
Unless using the FRC, any changes in the  
system clock frequency will change the  
ADC clock frequency, which may  
adversely affect the ADC result.

Legend: Shaded cells are outside of recommended range.  
Note 1: The FRC source has a typical TAD time of 1.6 s for VDD.  
2: These values violate the minimum required TAD time.  
3: For faster conversion times, the selection of another clock source is recommended.  
4: The ADC clock period (TAD) and total ADC conversion time can be minimized when the ADC clock is  
derived from the system clock FOSC. However, the FRC clock source must be used when conversions are  
to be performed with the device in Sleep mode.

RESULT FORMATTING  
The 10-bit A/D conversion result can be supplied in two  
formats, left justified or right justified. The ADFM bit of  
the AADCON1 register controls the output format.

STARTING A CONVERSION  
16.6 Automated Capacitive Voltage  
Divider  
To enable the ADC module, the ADON bit of the  
AADCON0 register must be set to a ‘1’. Setting the GO/  
DONE bit of the AADCON0 register to a ‘1’ in software  
or by the Special Event Trigger inputs, will start the  
Analog-to-Digital conversion.  
16.6.1  
CONVERSION SEQUENCE  
The conversion sequence can be expanded into three  
stages; pre-charge time, acquisition time, and conversion.  
See Figure 16-6 for basic information on the timing of  
these stages.  
Once a conversion begins, it proceeds until complete,  
while ADON is set. If ADON is cleared (disabled by  
software), the conversion is halted. The GO/DONE  
status bit of the AADCON0 register indicates that a  
conversion is occurring, regardless of the starting trigger.  
See Figure 16-6.  
16.6.2  
PRE-CHARGE TIMER  
The pre-charge stage is an optional 1-127 instruction  
cycle time used to put the external ADC channel and  
the internal sample and hold capacitor (CHOLD) into  
preconditioned states. The pre-charge stage of  
conversion is enabled by writing a non-zero value to  
the ADPRE<6:0> bits of the AADPRE register. This  
stage is initiated when a conversion sequence is  
started by either the GO/DONE bit or a Special Event  
Trigger. When initiating an ADC conversion, if the  
ADPRE bits are cleared, this stage is skipped.  
Note:  
The GO/DONE bit should not be set in the  
same instruction that turns on the ADC.  
Refer to Section 16.6.11 “A/D Double  
Conversion Procedure”.  
16.6.5  
COMPLETION OF A CONVERSION  
When the conversion is complete, the ADC module will:  
• Clear the GO/DONE bit  
During the pre-charge time, CHOLD is shorted to either  
VDD or VSS, depending on the value of the ADIPPOL bit  
of the AADCON3 register. The port pin logic of the  
selected analog channel is overridden to drive a digital  
high or low out. The output polarity of this override is  
determined by the ADEPPOL bit of the AADCON3  
register.  
• Set the ADIF Interrupt Flag bit  
• Update the AADRESxH and AADRESxL registers  
with new conversion result  
16.6.6  
TERMINATING A CONVERSION  
If a conversion must be terminated before completion,  
the GO/DONE bit can be cleared in software. The  
AADRESxH and AADRESxL registers will be updated  
with the partially complete Analog-to-Digital conversion  
sample. Incomplete bits will match the last bit  
converted.  
When the ADOOEN bit of the AADCON3 register is set,  
then the ADOUT pin is overridden during pre-charge.  
This override functions the same as the channel pin  
overrides, but the polarity is selected by the ADIPPOL bit.  
Even though the analog channel of the pin is selected,  
the analog multiplexer is forced open during the pre-  
charge stage. The ADC multiplexor logic is overridden  
and disabled only during the pre-charge time.  
Note:  
A device Reset forces all registers to their  
Reset state. Thus, the ADC module is  
turned off and any pending conversion is  
terminated.  
16.6.3  
ACQUISITION TIMER  
The acquisition time is used to either acquire the signal  
or to charge share. The acquisition time counts from 1  
to 127 instruction cycle times and is used to allow the  
voltage on the internal sample and hold capacitor  
(CHOLD) to charge or discharge from the selected  
analog channel. The acquisition time of conversion is  
16.6.7  
DOUBLE SAMPLE CONVERSION  
Double sampling can be enabled by the ADDSEN bit of  
the AADCON3 register. When this bit is set, two  
conversions are completed by each initiation of the GO/  
DONE bit or a Special Event Trigger. The GO/DONE bit  
stays set for the duration of both conversions and can  
be used to cancel a conversion early.  
enabled by writing  
a
non-zero value to the  
ADACQ<6:0> bits of the AADACQ register. When the  
acquisition time is enabled, the time starts immediately  
follow the pre-charge stage. Otherwise, the acquisition  
time is initiated by either setting the GO/DONE bit or a  
Special Event Trigger.  
The first conversion is written to the AADRES0H and  
AADRES0L registers.  
The second conversion starts two clock cycles after the  
first has completed and the GO/DONE bit remains set.  
When the ADIPEN bit of AADCON3 is set, the value  
used by the ADC for the ADEPPOL, ADIPPOL, and  
GRDPOL bits is inverted. The value stored in those bit  
locations is unchanged. All other control signals remain  
unchanged from the first conversion. The result of the  
second conversion is stored in the AADRES1H and  
AADRES1L registers. See Figure 16-8, Figure 16-9  
and Figure 16-10 for more information.  
At the start of the acquisition stage, the selected ADC  
channel is connected to CHOLD. This allows charge  
sharing between the pre-charged channel and the  
CHOLD capacitor. See Figure 16-6.

GUARD RING OUTPUTS  
Guard ring drive is a pair of digital outputs from the  
ADC module. This function is enabled by the GRDAOE  
and GRDBOE bits of the AADGRD register. Polarity of  
the output is controlled by the GRDPOL bit.  
The guard ring outputs of the ADC are active at all  
times. The outputs are initialized at the start of the pre-  
charge stage to match the polarity of the GRDPOL bit.  
The guard output signal changes polarity at the start of  
the acquisition stage. The value stored by the  
GRDPOL bit does not change.  
When in Double Sampling mode, the guard ring output  
does not initialize on the second conversion. It toggles  
polarity at the start of the first acquisition stage and  
again for the second acquisition, back to the original  
state. For more information on the timing of the guard  
ring output refer to Figure 16-8 and Figure 16-10.  
A typical guard ring circuit is displayed in Figure 16-11.  
CGUARD represents the capacitance of the guard ring  
trace placed on a PCB board. The user selects values  
for RA and RB that cause the voltage profile of CGUARD  
to match the selected channel during acquisition.

ADDITIONAL SAMPLE AND HOLD  
CAPACITOR  
Additional capacitance can be added in parallel with the  
sample and hold capacitor (CHOLD) by setting the  
ADDCAP<2:0> bits of AADCAP register. This bit  
connects additional capacitance to the ADC conversion  
bus, increasing the effective internal capacitance of the  
A/D module and analog bus. The additional capacitance  
does not affect analog performance of the ADC because  
it is not connected during conversion. See Figure 16-12.

output)  
16.6.10 ANALOG BUS VISIBILITY  
The ADOEN and ADOLEN bits of the AADCON3  
register can be used to connect the ADC conversion  
bus to the ADOUT pin. This connection can be used to  
monitor the state and behavior of the internal analog  
bus. The ADOEN bit provides the connection via a  
standard channel passgate. The ADLOEN bit provides  
a lower impedance connection. Both bits can be  
enabled to provide the lowest impedance connection  
between the internal ADC analog bus and the ADOUT  
pin.  
• Enable pin output driver (refer to the TRIS  
register)  
• Unconfigure pin as analog (refer to the ANSEL  
register)  
Note 1: The global interrupt can be disabled if the  
user is attempting to wake-up from Sleep  
and resume in-line code execution.  
2: Refer to Section 16.4 “A/D Acquisition  
Requirements”.  
The ADOUT pin connection can be overridden during  
the pre-charge stage of conversion. This function is  
controlled by the ADOOEN bit, which corresponds to  
the override enable signal. The polarity of the override  
is set by the ADIPPOL bit.

8-BIT COUNTER MODE  
17.0 TIMER0 MODULE  
In 8-Bit Counter mode, the Timer0 module will increment  
on every rising or falling edge of the T0CKI pin.  
The Timer0 module is an 8-bit timer/counter with the  
following features:  
8-Bit Counter mode using the T0CKI pin is selected by  
setting the TMR0CS bit in the OPTION_REG register to  
1’.  
• 8-bit timer/counter register (TMR0)  
• 8-bit prescaler (independent of Watchdog Timer)  
• Programmable internal or external clock source  
• Programmable external clock edge selection  
• Interrupt on overflow  
The rising or falling transition of the incrementing edge  
for either input source is determined by the TMR0SE bit  
in the OPTION_REG register.  
• TMR0 can be used to gate Timer1  
Figure 17-1 is a block diagram of the Timer0 module.  
17.1 Timer0 Operation  
The Timer0 module can be used as either an 8-bit timer  
or an 8-bit counter.  
17.1.1  
8-BIT TIMER MODE  
The Timer0 module will increment every instruction  
cycle, if used without a prescaler. 8-Bit Timer mode is  
selected by clearing the TMR0CS bit of the  
OPTION_REG register.  
When TMR0 is written, the increment is inhibited for  
two instruction cycles immediately following the write.  
Note:  
The value written to the TMR0 register  
can be adjusted, in order to account for  
the two instruction cycle delay when  
TMR0 is written.

SOFTWARE PROGRAMMABLE  
PRESCALER  
A software programmable prescaler is available for  
exclusive use with Timer0. The prescaler is enabled by  
clearing the PSA bit of the OPTION_REG register.  
Note:  
The Watchdog Timer (WDT) uses its own  
independent prescaler.  
There are 8 prescaler options for the Timer0 module  
ranging from 1:2 to 1:256. The prescale values are  
selectable via the PS<2:0> bits of the OPTION_REG  
register. In order to have a 1:1 prescaler value for the  
Timer0 module, the prescaler must be disabled by  
setting the PSA bit of the OPTION_REG register.  
The prescaler is not readable or writable. All instructions  
writing to the TMR0 register will clear the prescaler.  
17.1.4  
TIMER0 INTERRUPT  
Timer0 will generate an interrupt when the TMR0  
register overflows from FFh to 00h. The TMR0IF  
interrupt flag bit of the INTCON register is set every  
time the TMR0 register overflows, regardless of  
whether or not the Timer0 interrupt is enabled. The  
TMR0IF bit can only be cleared in software. The Timer0  
interrupt enable is the TMR0IE bit of the INTCON  
register.  
Note:  
The Timer0 interrupt cannot wake the  
processor from Sleep since the timer is  
frozen during Sleep.  
17.1.5  
8-BIT COUNTER MODE  
SYNCHRONIZATION  
When in 8-Bit Counter mode, the incrementing edge on  
the T0CKI pin must be synchronized to the instruction  
clock. Synchronization can be accomplished by  
sampling the prescaler output on the Q2 and Q4 cycles  
of the instruction clock. The high and low periods of the  
external clocking source must meet the timing  
requirements as shown in Section 25.0 “Electrical  
Specifications”.  
17.1.6  
OPERATION DURING SLEEP  
Timer0 cannot operate while the processor is in Sleep  
mode. The contents of the TMR0 register will remain  
unchanged while the processor is in Sleep mode.

18.1 Timer1 Operation  
18.2 Clock Source Selection  
The Timer1 module is a 16-bit incrementing counter  
which is accessed through the TMR1H:TMR1L register  
pair. Writes to TMR1H or TMR1L directly update the  
counter.  
The TMR1CS<1:0> and T1OSCEN bits of the T1CON  
register are used to select the clock source for Timer1.  
Table 18-2 displays the clock source selections.  
18.2.1  
INTERNAL CLOCK SOURCE  
When used with an internal clock source, the module is  
a timer and increments on every instruction cycle.  
When used with an external clock source, the module  
can be used as either a timer or counter and  
increments on every selected edge of the external  
source.  
When the internal clock source is selected the  
TMR1H:TMR1L register pair will increment on multiples  
of FOSC as determined by the Timer1 prescaler.  
When the FOSC internal clock source is selected, the  
Timer1 register value will increment by four counts every  
instruction clock cycle. Due to this condition, a 2 LSB  
error in resolution will occur when reading the Timer1  
value. To utilize the full resolution of Timer1, an  
asynchronous input signal must be used to gate the  
Timer1 clock input.  
Timer1 is enabled by configuring the TMR1ON and  
TMR1GE bits in the T1CON and T1GCON registers,  
respectively. Table 18-1 displays the Timer1 enable  
selections.  
The following asynchronous source may be used:

When the external clock source is selected, the Timer1

When enabled to count, Timer1 is incremented on the  
rising edge of the external clock input T1CKI. This  
external clock source can be synchronized to the  
microcontroller system clock and run asynchronously.  
Count Enabled  
When used as a timer with a clock oscillator, an  
external 32.768 kHz crystal can be used in conjunction  
with the secondary oscillator circuit.  
Note:  
In Counter mode, a falling edge must be  
registered by the counter prior to the first  
incrementing rising edge after any one or  
more of the following conditions:  
• Timer1 enabled after POR  
• Write to TMR1H or TMR1L  
• Timer1 is disabled  
• Timer1 is disabled (TMR1ON = 0)  
when T1CKI is high then Timer1 is  
enabled (TMR1ON=1) when T1CKI is  
low.

should keep in mind that reading the 16-bit timer in two  
8-bit values itself, poses certain problems, since the  
timer may overflow between the reads.  
18.3 Timer1 Prescaler  
Timer1 has four prescaler options allowing 1, 2, 4 or 8  
divisions of the clock input. The T1CKPS bits of the  
T1CON register control the prescale counter. The  
prescale counter is not directly readable or writable;  
however, the prescaler counter is cleared upon a write to  
TMR1H or TMR1L.  
For writes, it is recommended that the user simply stop  
the timer and write the desired values. A write  
contention may occur by writing to the timer registers,  
while the register is incrementing. This may produce an  
unpredictable value in the TMR1H:TMR1L register pair.  
18.4 Secondary Oscillator  
18.6 Timer1 Gate  
Timer1 uses the low-power secondary oscillator circuit  
on pins SOSCI and SOSCO. The secondary oscillator  
is designed to use an external 32.768 kHz crystal.  
Timer1 can be configured to count freely or the count  
can be enabled and disabled using Timer1 gate  
circuitry. This is also referred to as Timer1 Gate Enable.  
The secondary oscillator circuit is enabled by setting  
the T1OSCEN bit of the T1CON register. The oscillator  
will continue to run during Sleep.  
Timer1 gate can also be driven by multiple selectable  
sources.  
18.6.1  
TIMER1 GATE ENABLE  
Note:  
The oscillator requires a start-up and  
stabilization time before use. Thus,  
T1OSCEN should be set and a suitable  
delay observed prior to using Timer1. A  
suitable delay similar to the OST delay  
can be implemented in software by  
clearing the TMR1IF bit then presetting  
the TMR1H:TMR1L register pair to  
FC00h. The TMR1IF flag will be set when  
1024 clock cycles have elapsed, thereby  
indicating that the oscillator is running and  
reasonably stable.  
The Timer1 Gate Enable mode is enabled by setting  
the TMR1GE bit of the T1GCON register. The polarity  
of the Timer1 Gate Enable mode is configured using  
the T1GPOL bit of the T1GCON register.  
When Timer1 Gate Enable mode is enabled, Timer1  
will increment on the rising edge of the Timer1 clock  
source. When Timer1 Gate Enable mode is disabled,  
no incrementing will occur and Timer1 will hold the  
current count. See Figure 18-3 for timing details.

Timer1 Operation  
If control bit T1SYNC of the T1CON register is set, the

increments asynchronously to the internal phase  
clocks. If the external clock source is selected then the  
timer will continue to run during Sleep and can  
generate an interrupt on overflow, which will wake-up  
the processor. However, special precautions in  
software are needed to read/write the timer (see  
Section 18.5.1 “Reading and Writing Timer1 in  
Asynchronous Counter Mode”).

TIMER1 GATE SOURCE  
SELECTION  
The Timer1 gate source can be selected from one of  
four different sources. Source selection is controlled by  
the T1GSS bits of the T1GCON register. The polarity  
for each available source is also selectable. Polarity  
selection is controlled by the T1GPOL bit of the  
T1GCON register.  
Note:  
When switching from synchronous to  
asynchronous operation, it is possible to  
skip an increment. When switching from  
asynchronous to synchronous operation,  
it is possible to produce an additional  
increment.

TIMER1 GATE SINGLE-PULSE  
MODE  
The T1G pin is one source for Timer1 gate control. It  
can be used to supply an external source to the Timer1  
gate circuitry.  
When Timer1 Gate Single-Pulse mode is enabled, it is  
possible to capture a single-pulse gate event. Timer1  
Gate Single-Pulse mode is first enabled by setting the  
T1GSPM bit in the T1GCON register. Next, the  
T1GGO/DONE bit in the T1GCON register must be set.  
The Timer1 will be fully enabled on the next incrementing  
edge. On the next trailing edge of the pulse, the  
T1GGO/DONE bit will automatically be cleared. No other  
gate events will be allowed to increment Timer1 until the  
T1GGO/DONE bit is once again set in software. See  
Figure 18-5 for timing details.

If the Single-Pulse Gate mode is disabled by clearing the  
T1GSPM bit in the T1GCON register, the T1GGO/DONE  
bit should also be cleared.  
18.6.3  
TIMER1 GATE TOGGLE MODE  
When Timer1 Gate Toggle mode is enabled, it is  
possible to measure the full-cycle length of a Timer1  
gate signal, as opposed to the duration of a single level  
pulse.  
Enabling the Toggle mode and the Single-Pulse mode  
simultaneously will permit both sections to work  
together. This allows the cycle times on the Timer1 gate  
source to be measured. See Figure 18-6 for timing  
details.  
The Timer1 gate source is routed through a flip-flop that  
changes state on every incrementing edge of the  
signal. See Figure 18-4 for timing details.  
18.6.5  
TIMER1 GATE VALUE STATUS  
When Timer1 gate value status is utilized, it is possible  
to read the most current level of the gate control value.  
The value is stored in the T1GVAL bit in the T1GCON  
register. The T1GVAL bit is valid even when the Timer1  
gate is not enabled (TMR1GE bit is cleared).  
Timer1 Gate Toggle mode is enabled by setting the  
T1GTM bit of the T1GCON register. When the T1GTM  
bit is cleared, the flip-flop is cleared and held clear. This  
is necessary in order to control which edge is  
measured.  
18.6.6  
TIMER1 GATE EVENT INTERRUPT  
Note:  
Enabling Toggle mode at the same time  
as changing the gate polarity may result in  
indeterminate operation.  
When Timer1 gate event interrupt is enabled, it is  
possible to generate an interrupt upon the completion  
of a gate event. When the falling edge of T1GVAL  
occurs, the TMR1GIF flag bit in the PIR1 register will be  
set. If the TMR1GIE bit in the PIE1 register is set, then  
an interrupt will be recognized.  
The TMR1GIF flag bit operates even when the Timer1  
gate is not enabled (TMR1GE bit is cleared).

to FFFFh and rolls over to 0000h. When Timer1 rolls  
over, the Timer1 interrupt flag bit of the PIR1 register is  
set. To enable the interrupt on rollover, you must set  
these bits:  
The CCP modules use the TMR1H:TMR1L register  
pair as the time base when operating in Capture or  
Compare mode.  
In Capture mode, the value in the TMR1H:TMR1L  
register pair is copied into the CCPR1H:CCPR1L  
register pair on a configured event.  
• TMR1ON bit of the T1CON register  
• TMR1IE bit of the PIE1 register  
• PEIE bit of the INTCON register  
• GIE bit of the INTCON register  
In Compare mode, an event is triggered when the value  
CCPR1H:CCPR1L register pair matches the value in  
the TMR1H:TMR1L register pair. This event can be a  
Special Event Trigger.  
The interrupt is cleared by clearing the TMR1IF bit in  
the Interrupt Service Routine.  
For  
more  
information,  
see  
Section 21.0  
“Capture/Compare/PWM Modules”.  
Note:  
The TMR1H:TMR1L register pair and the  
TMR1IF bit should be cleared before  
enabling interrupts.  
18.10 CCP Special Event Trigger  
When the CCP is configured to trigger a special event,  
the trigger will clear the TMR1H:TMR1L register pair.  
This special event does not cause a Timer1 interrupt.  
The CCP module may still be configured to generate a  
CCP interrupt.  
18.8 Timer1 Operation During Sleep  
Timer1 can only operate during Sleep when setup in  
Asynchronous Counter mode. In this mode, an external  
crystal or clock source can be used to increment the  
counter. To set up the timer to wake the device:  
In this mode of operation, the CCPR1H:CCPR1L  
register pair becomes the period register for Timer1.  
• TMR1ON bit of the T1CON register must be set  
• TMR1IE bit of the PIE1 register must be set  
• PEIE bit of the INTCON register must be set  
• T1SYNC bit of the T1CON register must be set  
Timer1 should be synchronized and FOSC/4 should be  
selected as the clock source in order to utilize the  
Special Event Trigger. Asynchronous operation of  
Timer1 can cause a Special Event Trigger to be  
missed.  
• TMR1CS bits of the T1CON register must be  
configured  
In the event that a write to TMR1H or TMR1L coincides  
with a Special Event Trigger from the CCP, the write will  
take precedence.  
• T1OSCEN bit of the T1CON register must be  
configured  
For more information, see Section 16.2.5 “Special  
Event Trigger”.  
The device will wake-up on an overflow and execute  
the next instructions. If the GIE bit of the INTCON  
register is set, the device will call the Interrupt Service  
Routine.  
Timer1 secondary oscillator will continue to operate in  
Sleep regardless of the T1SYNC bit setting.

19.0 TIMER2 MODULE  
The Timer2 module incorporates the following features:  
• 8-bit Timer and Period registers (TMR2 and PR2,  
respectively)  
• Readable and writable (both registers)  
• Software programmable prescaler (1:1, 1:4, 1:16,  
and 1:64)  
• Software programmable postscaler (1:1 to 1:16)  
• Interrupt on TMR2 match with PR2, respectively  
• Optional use as the shift clock for the MSSP  
modules  
See Figure 19-1 for a block diagram of Timer2.

19.1 Timer2 Operation  
19.3 Timer2 Output  
The clock input to the Timer2 modules is the system  
instruction clock (FOSC/4).  
The unscaled output of TMR2 is available primarily to  
the CCP module, where it is used as a time base for  
operations in PWM mode.  
TMR2 increments from 00h on each clock edge.  
Timer2 can be optionally used as the shift clock source  
for the MSSP module operating in SPI mode.  
Additional information is provided in Section 20.0  
“Master Synchronous Serial Port (MSSP) Module”  
A 4-bit counter/prescaler on the clock input allows direct  
input, divide-by-4 and divide-by-16 prescale options.  
These options are selected by the prescaler control bits,  
T2CKPS<1:0> of the T2CON register. The value of  
TMR2 is compared to that of the Period register, PR2, on  
each clock cycle. When the two values match, the  
comparator generates a match signal as the timer  
output. This signal also resets the value of TMR2 to 00h  
on the next cycle and drives the output  
19.4 Timer2 Operation During Sleep  
Timer2 cannot be operated while the processor is in  
Sleep mode. The contents of the TMR2 and PR2  
registers will remain unchanged while the processor is  
in Sleep mode.  
counter/postscaler  
(see  
Section 19.2  
“Timer2  
Interrupt”).  
The TMR2 and PR2 registers are both directly readable  
and writable. The TMR2 register is cleared on any  
device Reset, whereas the PR2 register initializes to  
FFh. Both the prescaler and postscaler counters are  
cleared on the following events:  
• a write to the TMR2 register  
• a write to the T2CON register  
• Power-on Reset (POR)  
• Brown-out Reset (BOR)  
• MCLR Reset  
• Watchdog Timer (WDT) Reset  
• Stack Overflow Reset  
• Stack Underflow Reset  
RESETInstruction  
Note:  
TMR2 is not cleared when T2CON is  
written.  
19.2 Timer2 Interrupt  
Timer2 can also generate an optional device interrupt.  
The Timer2 output signal (TMR2-to-PR2 match)  
provides the input for the 4-bit counter/postscaler. This  
counter generates the TMR2 match interrupt flag which  
is latched in TMR2IF of the PIR1 register. The interrupt  
is enabled by setting the TMR2 Match Interrupt Enable  
bit, TMR2IE of the PIE1 register.  
A range of 16 postscale options (from 1:1 through 1:16  
inclusive) can be selected with the postscaler control  
bits, T2OUTPS<3:0>, of the T2CON register.

20.1 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™)  
The SPI interface supports the following modes and  
features:  
• Master mode  
• Slave mode  
• Clock Parity  
• Slave Select Synchronization (Slave mode only)  
• Daisy-chain connection of slave devices

During each SPI clock cycle, a full duplex data  
transmission occurs. This means that while the master  
device is sending out the MSb from its shift register (on  
its SDO pin) and the slave device is reading this bit and  
saving it as the LSb of its shift register, that the slave  
device is also sending out the MSb from its shift register  
(on its SDO pin) and the master device is reading this  
bit and saving it as the LSb of its shift register.  
20.2 SPI Mode Overview  
The Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) bus is a  
synchronous serial data communication bus that  
operates in Full Duplex mode. Devices communicate in  
a master/slave environment where the master device  
initiates the communication.  
A slave device is  
controlled through a Chip Select known as Slave  
Select.  
After 8 bits have been shifted out, the master and slave  
have exchanged register values.  
The SPI bus specifies four signal connections:  
• Serial Clock (SCK)  
• Serial Data Out (SDO)  
• Serial Data In (SDI)  
• Slave Select (SS)  
If there is more data to exchange, the shift registers are  
loaded with new data and the process repeats itself.  
Whether the data is meaningful or not (dummy data),  
depends on the application software. This leads to  
three scenarios for data transmission:  
Figure 20-1 shows the block diagram of the MSSP  
module when operating in SPI Mode.  
• Master sends useful data and slave sends dummy  
data.  
The SPI bus operates with a single master device and  
one or more slave devices. When multiple slave  
devices are used, an independent Slave Select  
connection is required from the master device to each  
slave device.  
• Master sends useful data and slave sends useful  
data.  
• Master sends dummy data and slave sends useful  
data.  
Figure 20-4 shows a typical connection between a  
master device and multiple slave devices.  
Transmissions may involve any number of clock  
cycles. When there is no more data to be transmitted,  
the master stops sending the clock signal and it  
deselects the slave.  
The master selects only one slave at a time. Most slave  
devices have tri-state outputs so their output signal  
appears disconnected from the bus when they are not  
selected.  
Every slave device connected to the bus that has not  
been selected through its slave select line must  
disregard the clock and transmission signals and must  
not transmit out any data of its own.  
Transmissions involve two shift registers, eight bits in  
size, one in the master and one in the slave. With either  
the master or the slave device, data is always shifted  
out one bit at a time, with the Most Significant bit (MSb)  
shifted out first. At the same time, a new Least  
Significant bit (LSb) is shifted into the same register.  
Figure 20-5 shows a typical connection between two  
processors configured as master and slave devices.  
Data is shifted out of both shift registers on the  
programmed clock edge and latched on the opposite  
edge of the clock.  
The master device transmits information out on its SDO  
output pin which is connected to, and received by, the  
slave’s SDI input pin. The slave device transmits  
information out on its SDO output pin, which is  
connected to, and received by, the master’s SDI input  
pin.  
To begin communication, the master device first sends  
out the clock signal. Both the master and the slave  
devices should be configured for the same clock  
polarity.  
The master device starts a transmission by sending out  
the MSb from its shift register. The slave device reads  
this bit from that same line and saves it into the LSb  
position of its shift register.

SPI MODE REGISTERS  
20.2.2  
SPI MODE OPERATION  
The MSSP module has five registers for SPI mode  
operation. These are:  
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:  
• MSSP STATUS register (SSPSTAT)  
• MSSP Control Register 1 (SSPCON1)  
• MSSP Control Register 3 (SSPCON3)  
• MSSP Data Buffer register (SSPBUF)  
• MSSP Address register (SSPADD)  
• 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)  
• MSSP Shift Register (SSPSR)  
(Not directly accessible)  
• Clock Edge (output data on rising/falling edge of  
SCK)  
SSPCON1 and SSPSTAT are the control and STATUS  
registers in SPI mode operation. The SSPCON1  
register is readable and writable. The lower six bits of  
the SSPSTAT are read-only. The upper two bits of the  
SSPSTAT are read/write.  
• Clock Rate (Master mode only)  
• Slave Select mode (Slave mode only)  
To enable the serial port, SSP Enable bit, SSPEN of the  
SSPCON1 register, must be set. To reset or reconfig-  
ure 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:  
In SPI master mode, SSPADD can be loaded with a  
value used in the Baud Rate Generator. More  
information on the Baud Rate Generator is available in  
Section 20.7 “Baud Rate Generator”.  
SSPSR is the shift register used for shifting data in and  
out. SSPBUF provides indirect access to the SSPSR  
register. SSPBUF is the buffer register to which data  
bytes are written, and from which data bytes are read.  
• SDI must have corresponding TRIS bit set  
In receive operations, SSPSR and SSPBUF together  
create a buffered receiver. When SSPSR receives a  
complete byte, it is transferred to SSPBUF and the  
SSPIF interrupt is set.  
• SDO must have corresponding TRIS bit cleared  
• SCK (Master mode) must have corresponding  
TRIS bit cleared  
• SCK (Slave mode) must have corresponding  
TRIS bit set  
During transmission, the SSPBUF is not buffered. A  
write to SSPBUF will write to both SSPBUF and  
SSPSR.  
• SS must have corresponding TRIS bit set  
Any serial port function that is not desired may be  
overridden by programming the corresponding data  
direction (TRIS) register to the opposite value.

PIC16(L)F1512/3  
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 eight bits of  
data have been received, that byte is moved to the  
SSPBUF register. Then, the Buffer Full Detect bit, BF  
of the SSPSTAT register, and the interrupt flag bit,  
SSPIF, are set. This double-buffering of the received  
data (SSPBUF) allows the next byte to start reception  
before reading the data that was just received. Any  
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. The  
Buffer Full bit, BF of the SSPSTAT register, 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. 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.  
write

the  
SSPBUF  
register  
during  
transmission/reception of data will be ignored and the  
write collision detect bit WCOL of the SSPCON1  
register, will be set. User software must clear the  
WCOL bit to allow the following write(s) to the SSPBUF  
register to complete successfully.  
The SSPSR is not directly readable or writable and can  
only be accessed by addressing the SSPBUF register.  
Additionally, the SSPSTAT register indicates the  
various Status conditions.

The clock polarity is selected by appropriately  
programming the CKP bit of the SSPCON1 register  
and the CKE bit of the SSPSTAT register. This then,  
would give waveforms for SPI communication as  
shown in Figure 20-6, Figure 20-9 and Figure 20-10,  
where the MSb is transmitted first. In Master mode, the  
SPI clock rate (bit rate) is user programmable to be one  
of the following:  
20.2.3  
SPI MASTER MODE  
The master can initiate the data transfer at any time  
because it controls the SCK line. The master  
determines when the slave (Processor 2, Figure 20-5)  
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).

• FOSC/16 (or 4 * TCY)  
• FOSC/64 (or 16 * TCY)

Figure 20-6 shows the waveforms for Master mode.  
When the CKE bit is set, the SDO data is valid before  
there is a clock edge on SCK. The change of the input  
sample is shown based on the state of the SMP bit. The  
time when the SSPBUF is loaded with the received  
data is shown.

SPI SLAVE MODE  
20.2.5  
SLAVE SELECT  
SYNCHRONIZATION  
In Slave mode, the data is transmitted and received as  
external clock pulses appear on SCK. When the last  
bit is latched, the SSPIF interrupt flag bit is set.  
The Slave Select can also be used to synchronize  
communication. The Slave Select line is held high until  
the master device is ready to communicate. When the  
Slave Select line is pulled low, the slave knows that a  
new transmission is starting.  
Before enabling the module in SPI Slave mode, the clock  
line must match the proper Idle state. The clock line can  
be observed by reading the SCK pin. The Idle state is  
determined by the CKP bit of the SSPCON1 register.  
If the slave fails to receive the communication properly,  
it will be reset at the end of the transmission, when the  
Slave Select line returns to a high state. The slave is  
then ready to receive a new transmission when the  
Slave Select line is pulled low again. If the Slave Select  
line is not used, there is a risk that the slave will  
eventually become out of sync with the master. If the  
slave misses a bit, it will always be one bit off in future  
transmissions. Use of the Slave Select line allows the  
slave and master to align themselves at the beginning  
of each transmission.  
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.  
While in Sleep mode, the slave can transmit/receive  
data. The shift register is clocked from the SCK pin  
input and when a byte is received, the device will  
generate an interrupt. If enabled, the device will  
wake-up from Sleep.  
The SS pin allows a Synchronous Slave mode. The  
SPI must be in Slave mode with SS pin control enabled  
(SSPCON1<3:0> = 0100).  
20.2.4.1  
Daisy-Chain Configuration  
The SPI bus can sometimes be connected in a  
daisy-chain configuration. The first slave output is  
connected to the second slave input, the second slave  
output is connected to the third slave input, and so on.  
The final slave output is connected to the master input.  
Each slave sends out, during a second group of clock  
pulses, an exact copy of what was received during the  
first group of clock pulses. The whole chain acts as  
one large communication shift register. The  
daisy-chain feature only requires a single Slave Select  
line from the master device.  
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, 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.  
Note 1: When the SPI is in Slave mode with SS pin  
control enabled (SSPCON1<3:0>  
=

daisy-chain connection when operating in SPI mode.  
0100), the SPI module will reset if the SS  
pin is set to VDD.  
In a daisy-chain configuration, only the most recent  
byte on the bus is required by the slave. Setting the  
BOEN bit of the SSPCON3 register will enable writes  
to the SSPBUF register, even if the previous byte has  
not been read. This allows the software to ignore data  
that may not apply to it.  
2: When the SPI is used in Slave mode with  
CKE set; the user must enable SS pin  
control.  
3: While operated in SPI Slave mode the  
SMP bit of the SSPSTAT register must  
remain clear.  
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.

In SPI Master mode, when the Sleep mode is selected,  
all module clocks are halted and the transmis-  
sion/reception will remain in that state until the device  
wakes. After the device returns to Run mode, the  
module will resume transmitting and receiving data.  
20.2.6  
SPI OPERATION IN SLEEP MODE  
In SPI Master mode, module clocks may be operating  
at a different speed than when in Full-Power mode; in  
the case of the Sleep mode, all clocks are halted.  
Special care must be taken by the user when the MSSP  
clock is much faster than the system clock.  
In SPI 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.  
In Slave mode, when MSSP interrupts are enabled,  
after the master completes sending data, an MSSP  
interrupt will wake the controller from Sleep.  
If an exit from Sleep mode is not desired, MSSP  
interrupts should be disabled.

I2C MASTER/  
20.3 I2C MODE OVERVIEW  
FIGURE 20-11:  
SLAVE CONNECTION  
The Inter-Integrated Circuit Bus (I2C) is a multi-master  
serial data communication bus. Devices communicate  
in a master/slave environment where the master  
devices initiate the communication. A slave device is  
controlled through addressing.  
VDD  
SCL  
SCL  
The I2C bus specifies two signal connections:  
VDD  
• Serial Clock (SCL)  
• Serial Data (SDA)  
Master  
Slave  
SDA  
SDA  
Figure 20-2 and Figure 20-3 show the block diagrams  
of the MSSP module when operating in I2C mode.  
Both the SCL and SDA connections are bidirectional  
open-drain lines, each requiring pull-up resistors for the  
supply voltage. Pulling the line to ground is considered  
a logical zero and letting the line float is considered a  
logical one.  
The Acknowledge bit (ACK) is an active-low signal,  
which holds the SDA line low to indicate to the transmit-  
ter that the slave device has received the transmitted  
data and is ready to receive more.  
Figure 20-11 shows a typical connection between two  
processors configured as master and slave devices.  
The I2C bus can operate with one or more master  
devices and one or more slave devices.  
The transition of a data bit is always performed while  
the SCL line is held low. Transitions that occur while the  
SCL line is held high are used to indicate Start and Stop  
bits.  
If the master intends to write to the slave, then it repeat-  
edly sends out a byte of data, with the slave responding  
after each byte with an ACK bit. In this example, the  
master device is in Master Transmit mode and the  
slave is in Slave Receive mode.  
There are four potential modes of operation for a given  
device:  
• Master Transmit mode  
(master is transmitting data to a slave)  
• Master Receive mode  
If the master intends to read from the slave, then it  
repeatedly receives a byte of data from the slave, and  
responds after each byte with an ACK bit. In this  
example, the master device is in Master Receive mode  
and the slave is Slave Transmit mode.  
(master is receiving data from a slave)  
• Slave Transmit mode  
(slave is transmitting data to a master)  
• Slave Receive mode  
(slave is receiving data from the master)  
On the last byte of data communicated, the master  
device may end the transmission by sending a Stop bit.  
If the master device is in Receive mode, it sends the  
Stop bit in place of the last ACK bit. A Stop bit is  
indicated by a low-to-high transition of the SDA line  
while the SCL line is held high.  
To begin communication, a master device starts out in  
Master Transmit mode. The master device sends out a  
Start bit followed by the address byte of the slave it  
intends to communicate with. This is followed by a sin-  
gle Read/Write bit, which determines whether the mas-  
ter intends to transmit to or receive data from the slave  
device.  
In some cases, the master may want to maintain  
control of the bus and re-initiate another transmission.  
If so, the master device may send another Start bit in  
place of the Stop bit or last ACK bit when it is in receive  
mode.  
If the requested slave exists on the bus, it will respond  
with an Acknowledge bit, otherwise known as an ACK.  
The master then continues in either Transmit mode or  
Receive mode and the slave continues in the  
complement, either in Receive mode or Transmit  
mode, respectively.  
The I2C bus specifies three message protocols;  
• Single message where a master writes data to a  
slave.  
A Start bit is indicated by a high-to-low transition of the  
SDA line while the SCL line is held high. Address and  
data bytes are sent out, Most Significant bit (MSb) first.  
The Read/Write bit is sent out as a logical one when the  
master intends to read data from the slave, and is sent  
out as a logical zero when it intends to write data to the  
slave.  
• Single message where a master reads data from  
a slave.  
• Combined message where a master initiates a  
minimum of two writes, or two reads, or a  
combination of writes and reads, to one or more  
slaves.

PIC16(L)F1512/3  
When one device is transmitting a logical one, or letting  
the line float, and a second device is transmitting a  
logical zero, or holding the line low, the first device can  
detect that the line is not a logical one. This detection,  
when used on the SCL line, is called clock stretching.  
Clock stretching gives slave devices a mechanism to  
control the flow of data. When this detection is used on  
the SDA line, it is called arbitration. Arbitration ensures  
that there is only one master device communicating at  
any single time.  
20.3.2  
ARBITRATION  
Each master device must monitor the bus for Start and  
Stop bits. If the device detects that the bus is busy, it  
cannot begin a new message until the bus returns to an  
Idle state.  
However, two master devices may try to initiate a trans-  
mission on or about the same time. When this occurs,  
the process of arbitration begins. Each transmitter  
checks the level of the SDA data line and compares it  
to the level that it expects to find. The first transmitter to  
observe that the two levels do not match, loses  
arbitration, and must stop transmitting on the SDA line.  
20.3.1  
CLOCK STRETCHING  
When a slave device has not completed processing  
data, it can delay the transfer of more data through the  
process of clock stretching. An addressed slave device  
may hold the SCL clock line low after receiving or send-  
ing a bit, indicating that it is not yet ready to continue.  
The master that is communicating with the slave will  
attempt to raise the SCL line in order to transfer the  
next bit, but will detect that the clock line has not yet  
been released. Because the SCL connection is  
open-drain, the slave has the ability to hold that line low  
until it is ready to continue communicating.  
For example, if one transmitter holds the SDA line to a  
logical one (lets it float) and a second transmitter holds  
it to a logical zero (pulls it low), the result is that the  
SDA line will be low. The first transmitter then observes  
that the level of the line is different than expected and  
concludes that another transmitter is communicating.  
The first transmitter to notice this difference is the one  
that loses arbitration and must stop driving the SDA  
line. If this transmitter is also a master device, it also  
must stop driving the SCL line. It then can monitor the  
lines for a Stop condition before trying to reissue its  
transmission. In the meantime, the other device that  
has not noticed any difference between the expected  
and actual levels on the SDA line continues with its  
original transmission. It can do so without any  
complications, because so far, the transmission  
appears exactly as expected with no other transmitter  
disturbing the message.  
Clock stretching allows receivers that cannot keep up  
with a transmitter to control the flow of incoming data.  
Slave Transmit mode can also be arbitrated, when a  
master addresses multiple slaves, but this is less  
common.  
If two master devices are sending a message to two  
different slave devices at the address stage, the master  
sending the lower slave address always wins  
arbitration. When two master devices send messages  
to the same slave address, and addresses can  
sometimes refer to multiple slaves, the arbitration pro-  
cess must continue into the data stage.  
Arbitration usually occurs very rarely, but it is a  
necessary process for proper multi-master support.

TABLE 20-2: I2C BUS TERMS  
20.4 I2C MODE OPERATION  
TERM  
Description  
All MSSP I2C communication is byte oriented and  
shifted out MSb first. Six SFR registers and 2 interrupt  
flags interface the module with the PIC® microcon-  
troller and user software. Two pins, SDA and SCL, are  
exercised by the module to communicate with other  
external I2C devices.  
Transmitter  
The device which shifts data out  
onto the bus.  
Receiver  
Master  
The device which shifts data in  
from the bus.  
The device that initiates a transfer,  
generates clock signals and  
terminates a transfer.  
20.4.1  
BYTE FORMAT  
All communication in I2C is done in 9-bit segments. A  
byte is sent from a master to a slave or vice-versa,  
followed by an Acknowledge bit sent back. After the  
8th falling edge of the SCL line, the device outputting  
data on the SDA changes that pin to an input and  
reads in an Acknowledge value on the next clock  
pulse.  
Slave  
The device addressed by the  
master.  
Multi-master  
Arbitration  
A bus with more than one device  
that can initiate data transfers.  
Procedure to ensure that only one  
master at a time controls the bus.  
Winning arbitration ensures that  
the message is not corrupted.  
The clock signal, SCL, is provided by the master. Data  
is valid to change while the SCL signal is low, and  
sampled on the rising edge of the clock. Changes on  
the SDA line while the SCL line is high define special  
conditions on the bus, explained below.  
Synchronization Procedure to synchronize the  
clocks of two or more devices on  
the bus.  
Idle  
No master is controlling the bus,  
and both SDA and SCL lines are  
high.

20.4.2  
DEFINITION OF I C TERMINOLOGY  
There is language and terminology in the description  
of I2C communication that have definitions specific to  
I2C. That word usage is defined below and may be  
used in the rest of this document without explanation.  
This table was adapted from the Philips I2C  
specification.  
Active  
Any time one or more master  
devices are controlling the bus.  
Addressed  
Slave  
Slave device that has received a  
matching address and is actively  
being clocked by a master.  
Matching  
Address  
Address byte that is clocked into a  
slave that matches the value  
stored in SSPADD.  
20.4.3  
SDA AND SCL PINS  
Selection of any I2C mode with the SSPEN bit set,  
forces the SCL and SDA pins to be open-drain. These  
pins should be set by the user to inputs by setting the  
appropriate TRIS bits.  
Write Request  
Read Request  
Slave receives a matching  
address with R/W bit clear, and is  
ready to clock in data.  
Master sends an address byte with  
the R/W bit set, indicating that it  
wishes to clock data out of the  
Slave. This data is the next and all  
following bytes until a Restart or  
Stop.  
Note: Data is tied to output zero when an I2C  
mode is enabled.  
20.4.4  
SDA HOLD TIME  
The hold time of the SDA pin is selected by the SDAHT  
bit of the SSPCON3 register. Hold time is the time SDA  
is held valid after the falling edge of SCL. Setting the  
SDAHT bit selects a longer 300 ns minimum hold time  
and may help on buses with large capacitance.  
Clock Stretching When a device on the bus hold  
SCL low to stall communication.  
Bus Collision  
Any time the SDA line is sampled  
low by the module while it is  
outputting and expected high  
state.

20.4.5  
START CONDITION  
20.4.7  
RESTART CONDITION  
The I2C specification defines a Start condition as a  
transition of SDA from a high to a low state while SCL  
line is high. A Start condition is always generated by  
the master and signifies the transition of the bus from  
an Idle to an Active state. Figure 20-12 shows wave  
forms for Start and Stop conditions.  
A Restart is valid any time that a Stop would be valid.  
A master can issue a Restart if it wishes to hold the  
bus after terminating the current transfer. A Restart  
has the same effect on the slave that a Start would,  
resetting all slave logic and preparing it to clock in an  
address. The master may want to address the same or  
another slave.  
A bus collision can occur on a Start condition if the  
module samples the SDA line low before asserting it  
low. This does not conform to the I2C Specification that  
states no bus collision can occur on a Start.  
In 10-bit Addressing Slave mode a Restart is required  
for the master to clock data out of the addressed  
slave. Once a slave has been fully addressed,  
matching both high and low address bytes, the master  
can issue a Restart and the high address byte with the  
R/W bit set. The slave logic will then hold the clock  
and prepare to clock out data.  
20.4.6  
STOP CONDITION  
A Stop condition is a transition of the SDA line from  
low-to-high state while the SCL line is high.  
After a full match with R/W clear in 10-bit mode, a prior  
match flag is set and maintained. Until a Stop  
condition, a high address with R/W clear, or high  
address match fails.  
Note: At least one SCL low time must appear  
before a Stop is valid, therefore, if the SDA  
line goes low then high again while the SCL  
line stays high, only the Start condition is  
detected.  
20.4.8  
START/STOP CONDITION  
INTERRUPT MASKING  
The SCIE and PCIE bits of the SSPCON3 register can  
enable the generation of an interrupt in Slave modes  
that do not typically support this function. Slave modes  
where interrupt on Start and Stop detect are already  
enabled, these bits will have no effect.

20.5 I2C SLAVE MODE OPERATION  
20.4.9  
ACKNOWLEDGE SEQUENCE  
The 9th SCL pulse for any transferred byte in I2C is  
dedicated as an Acknowledge. It allows receiving  
devices to respond back to the transmitter by pulling  
the SDA line low. The transmitter must release control  
of the line during this time to shift in the response. The  
Acknowledge (ACK) is an active-low signal, pulling the  
SDA line low indicated to the transmitter that the  
device has received the transmitted data and is ready  
to receive more.  
The MSSP Slave mode operates in one of four modes  
selected in the SSPM bits of SSPCON1 register. The  
modes can be divided into 7-bit and 10-bit Addressing  
mode. 10-bit Addressing modes operate the same as  
7-bit with some additional overhead for handling the  
larger addresses.  
Modes with Start and Stop bit interrupts operate the  
same as the other modes with SSPIF additionally  
getting set upon detection of a Start, Restart, or Stop  
condition.  
The result of an ACK is placed in the ACKSTAT bit of  
the SSPCON2 register.  
20.5.1  
SLAVE MODE ADDRESSES  
Slave software, when the AHEN and DHEN bits are  
set, allow the user to set the ACK value sent back to  
the transmitter. The ACKDT bit of the SSPCON2  
register is set/cleared to determine the response.  
The SSPADD register (Register 20-6) contains the  
Slave mode address. The first byte received after a  
Start or Restart condition is compared against the  
value stored in this register. If the byte matches, the  
value is loaded into the SSPBUF register and an  
interrupt is generated. If the value does not match, the  
module goes Idle and no indication is given to the  
software that anything happened.  
Slave hardware will generate an ACK response if the  
AHEN and DHEN bits of the SSPCON3 register are  
clear.  
There are certain conditions where an ACK will not be  
sent by the slave. If the BF bit of the SSPSTAT register  
or the SSPOV bit of the SSPCON1 register are set  
when a byte is received.  
The SSP Mask register (Register 20-5) affects the  
address matching process. See Section 20.5.9 “SSP  
Mask Register” for more information.  
When the module is addressed, after the 8th falling  
edge of SCL on the bus, the ACKTIM bit of the  
SSPCON3 register is set. The ACKTIM bit indicates  
the Acknowledge time of the active bus. The ACKTIM  
Status bit is only active when the AHEN bit or DHEN  
bit is enabled.  
2
20.5.1.1  
I C Slave 7-bit Addressing Mode  
In 7-bit Addressing mode, the LSb of the received data  
byte is ignored when determining if there is an address  
match.  
2
20.5.1.2  
I C Slave 10-bit Addressing Mode  
In 10-bit Addressing mode, the first received byte is  
compared to the binary value of ‘1 1 1 1 0 A9 A8 0’. A9  
and A8 are the two MSb of the 10-bit address and  
stored in bits 2 and 1 of the SSPADD register.  
After the acknowledge of the high byte the UA bit is set  
and SCL is held low until the user updates SSPADD  
with the low address. The low address byte is clocked  
in and all 8 bits are compared to the low address value  
in SSPADD. Even if there is not an address match;  
SSPIF and UA are set, and SCL is held low until  
SSPADD is updated to receive a high byte again.  
When SSPADD is updated the UA bit is cleared. This  
ensures the module is ready to receive the high  
address byte on the next communication.  
A high and low address match as a write request is  
required at the start of all 10-bit addressing communi-  
cation. A transmission can be initiated by issuing a  
Restart once the slave is addressed, and clocking in  
the high address with the R/W bit set. The slave  
hardware will then acknowledge the read request and  
prepare to clock out data. This is only valid for a slave  
after it has received a complete high and low address  
byte match.

SLAVE RECEPTION  
20.5.2.2  
7-bit Reception with AHEN and  
DHEN  
When the R/W bit of a matching received address byte  
is clear, the R/W bit of the SSPSTAT register is cleared.  
The received address is loaded into the SSPBUF  
register and Acknowledged.  
Slave device reception with AHEN and DHEN set  
operate the same as without these options with extra  
interrupts and clock stretching added after the 8th  
falling edge of SCL. These additional interrupts allow  
the slave software to decide whether it wants to ACK  
the receive address or data byte, rather than the  
hardware. This functionality adds support for PMBus™  
that was not present on previous versions of this  
module.  
When the overflow condition exists for a received  
address, then not Acknowledge is given. An overflow  
condition is defined as either bit BF bit of the SSPSTAT  
register is set, or bit SSPOV bit of the SSPCON1  
register is set. The BOEN bit of the SSPCON3 register  
modifies this operation. For more information see  
Register 20-4.  
This list describes the steps that need to be taken by  
slave software to use these options for I2C communi  
cation. Figure 20-16 displays a module using both  
address and data holding. Figure 20-17 includes the  
operation with the SEN bit of the SSPCON2 register  
set.  
An MSSP interrupt is generated for each transferred  
data byte. Flag bit, SSPIF, must be cleared by software.  
When the SEN bit of the SSPCON2 register is set, SCL  
will be held low (clock stretch) following each received  
byte. The clock must be released by setting the CKP  
bit of the SSPCON1 register, except sometimes in  
10-bit mode. See Section 20.2.3 “SPI Master Mode”  
for more detail.  
1. S bit of SSPSTAT is set; SSPIF is set if interrupt  
on Start detect is enabled.  
2. Matching address with R/W bit clear is clocked

10. Slave clears SSPIF.  
5. Software clears the SSPIF bit.  
Note: SSPIF is still set after the 9th falling edge of

BF has been cleared. Only if NACK is sent  
to master is SSPIF not set  
6. Software reads received address from SSPBUF  
clearing the BF flag.  
7. If SEN = 1; Slave software sets CKP bit to  
release the SCL line.  
8. The master clocks out a data byte.  
11. SSPIF set and CKP cleared after 8th falling  
edge of SCL for a received data byte.  
9. Slave drives SDA low sending an ACK to the  
master, and sets SSPIF bit.  
12. Slave looks at ACKTIM bit of SSPCON3 to  
determine the source of the interrupt.  
10. Software clears SSPIF.  
11. Software reads the received byte from SSPBUF

13. Slave reads the received data from SSPBUF  
clearing BF.  
12. Steps 8-12 are repeated for all received bytes  
from the master.  
14. Steps 7-14 are the same for each received data  
byte.  
13. Master sends Stop condition, setting P bit of  
SSPSTAT, and the bus goes Idle.  
15. Communication is ended by either the slave  
sending an ACK = 1, or the master sending a  
Stop condition. If a Stop is sent and Interrupt on  
Stop Detect is disabled, the slave will only know  
by polling the P bit of the SSPSTAT register.

20.5.3  
SLAVE TRANSMISSION  
20.5.3.2  
7-bit 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, and an ACK pulse is  
sent by the slave on the ninth bit.  
A master device can transmit a read request to a  
slave, and then clock data out of the slave. The list  
below outlines what software for a slave will need to  
do to accomplish  
a
standard transmission.  
Figure 20-17 can be used as a reference to this list.  
Following the ACK, slave hardware clears the CKP bit  
and the SCL pin is held low (see Section 20.5.6  
“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.  
1. Master sends a Start condition on SDA and  
SCL.  
2. S bit of SSPSTAT is set; SSPIF is set if interrupt  
on Start detect is enabled.  
3. Matching address with R/W bit set is received by  
the Slave setting SSPIF bit.  
The transmit data must be loaded into the SSPBUF  
register which also loads the SSPSR register. Then the  
SCL pin should be released by setting the CKP bit of  
the SSPCON1 register. 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.  
4. Slave hardware generates an ACK and sets  
SSPIF.  
5. SSPIF bit is cleared by user.  
6. Software reads the received address from  
SSPBUF, clearing BF.  
7. R/W is set so CKP was automatically cleared  
after the ACK.  
The ACK pulse from the master-receiver is latched on  
the rising edge of the ninth SCL input pulse. This ACK  
value is copied to the ACKSTAT bit of the SSPCON2  
register. If ACKSTAT is set (not ACK), then the data  
transfer is complete. In this case, when the not ACK is  
latched by the slave, the slave goes Idle and waits 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, the SCL pin must be  
released by setting bit CKP.  
8. The slave software loads the transmit data into  
SSPBUF.  
9. CKP bit is set releasing SCL, allowing the  
master to clock the data out of the slave.  
10. SSPIF is set after the ACK response from the  
master is loaded into the ACKSTAT register.  
11. SSPIF bit is cleared.  
12. The slave software checks the ACKSTAT bit to  
see if the master wants to clock out more data.  
An MSSP interrupt is generated for each data transfer  
byte. The SSPIF bit must be cleared by 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.  
Note 1: If the master ACKs the clock will be  
stretched.  
2: ACKSTAT is the only bit updated on the  
rising edge of SCL (9th) rather than the  
falling.  
20.5.3.1  
Slave Mode Bus Collision  
A slave receives a Read request and begins shifting  
data out on the SDA line. If a bus collision is detected  
and the SBCDE bit of the SSPCON3 register is set, the  
BCLIF bit of the PIR register is set. Once a bus collision  
is detected, the slave goes Idle and waits to be  
addressed again. User software can use the BCLIF bit  
to handle a slave bus collision.  
13. Steps 9-13 are repeated for each transmitted  
byte.  
14. If the master sends a not ACK; the clock is not  
held, but SSPIF is still set.  
15. The master sends a Restart condition or a Stop.  
16. The slave is no longer addressed.

7-bit Transmission with Address  
Hold Enabled  
Setting the AHEN bit of the SSPCON3 register  
enables additional clock stretching and interrupt  
generation after the 8th falling edge of a received  
matching address. Once a matching address has  
been clocked in, CKP is cleared and the SSPIF  
interrupt is set.  
Figure 20-18 displays a standard waveform of a 7-bit  
Address Slave Transmission with AHEN enabled.  
1. Bus starts Idle.  
2. Master sends Start condition; the S bit of  
SSPSTAT is set; SSPIF is set if interrupt on Start  
detect is enabled.  
3. Master sends matching address with R/W bit  
set. After the 8th falling edge of the SCL line the  
CKP bit is cleared and SSPIF interrupt is  
generated.  
4. Slave software clears SSPIF.  
5. Slave software reads ACKTIM bit of SSPCON3  
register, and R/W and D/A of the SSPSTAT  
register to determine the source of the interrupt.  
6. Slave reads the address value from the  
SSPBUF register clearing the BF bit.  
7. Slave software decides from this information if it  
wishes to ACK or not ACK and sets ACKDT bit  
of the SSPCON2 register accordingly.  
8. Slave sets the CKP bit releasing SCL.  
9. Master clocks in the ACK value from the slave.  
10. Slave hardware automatically clears the CKP bit  
and sets SSPIF after the ACK if the R/W bit is  
set.  
11. Slave software clears SSPIF.  
12. Slave loads value to transmit to the master into  
SSPBUF setting the BF bit.  
Note: SSPBUF cannot be loaded until after the  
ACK.  
13. Slave sets CKP bit releasing the clock.  
14. Master clocks out the data from the slave and  
sends an ACK value on the 9th SCL pulse.  
15. Slave hardware copies the ACK value into the  
ACKSTAT bit of the SSPCON2 register.  
16. Steps 10-15 are repeated for each byte  
transmitted to the master from the slave.  
17. If the master sends a not ACK the slave  
releases the bus allowing the master to send a  
Stop and end the communication.  
Note: Master must send a not ACK on the last byte  
to ensure that the slave releases the SCL  
line to receive a Stop.

10-BIT ADDRESSING WITH  
ADDRESS OR DATA HOLD  
This section describes a standard sequence of events  
for the MSSP module configured as an I2C slave in  
10-bit Addressing mode.  
Reception using 10-bit addressing with AHEN or  
DHEN set is the same as with 7-bit modes. The only  
difference is the need to update the SSPADD register  
using the UA bit. All functionality, specifically when the  
CKP bit is cleared and SCL line is held low are the  
same. Figure 20-20 can be used as a reference of a  
slave in 10-bit addressing with AHEN set.  
Figure 20-19 is used as a visual reference for this  
description.  
This is a step by step process of what must be done by  
slave software to accomplish I2C communication.  
Figure 20-21 shows a standard waveform for a slave  
transmitter in 10-bit Addressing mode.  
1. Bus starts Idle.  
2. Master sends Start condition; S bit of SSPSTAT  
is set; SSPIF is set if interrupt on Start detect is  
enabled.  
3. Master sends matching high address with R/W  
bit clear; UA bit of the SSPSTAT register is set.  
4. Slave sends ACK and SSPIF is set.  
5. Software clears the SSPIF bit.  
6. Software reads received address from SSPBUF  
clearing the BF flag.  
7. Slave loads low address into SSPADD,  
releasing SCL.  
8. Master sends matching low address byte to the  
slave; UA bit is set.  
Note: Updates to the SSPADD register are not  
allowed until after the ACK sequence.  
9. Slave sends ACK and SSPIF is set.  
Note: If the low address does not match, SSPIF  
and UA are still set so that the slave  
software can set SSPADD back to the high  
address. BF is not set because there is no  
match. CKP is unaffected.  
10. Slave clears SSPIF.  
11. Slave reads the received matching address  
from SSPBUF clearing BF.  
12. Slave loads high address into SSPADD.  
13. Master clocks a data byte to the slave and  
clocks out the slaves ACK on the 9th SCL pulse;  
SSPIF is set.  
14. If SEN bit of SSPCON2 is set, CKP is cleared by  
hardware and the clock is stretched.  
15. Slave clears SSPIF.  
16. Slave reads the received byte from SSPBUF  
clearing BF.  
17. If SEN is set the slave sets CKP to release the  
SCL.  
18. Steps 13-17 repeat for each received byte.  
19. Master sends Stop to end the transmission.

CLOCK STRETCHING  
20.5.6.2  
10-bit Addressing Mode  
Clock stretching occurs when a device on the bus holds  
the SCL line low effectively pausing communication.  
The slave may stretch the clock to allow more time to  
handle data or prepare a response for the master  
device. A master device is not concerned with  
stretching as anytime it is active on the bus and not  
transferring data it is stretching. Any stretching done by  
a slave is invisible to the master software and handled  
by the hardware that generates SCL.  
In 10-bit Addressing mode, when the UA bit is set the  
clock is always stretched. This is the only time, the  
SCL is stretched without CKP being cleared. SCL is  
released immediately after a write to SSPADD.  
Note: Previous versions of the module did not  
stretch the clock if the second address byte  
did not match.  
20.5.6.3  
Byte NACKing  
The CKP bit of the SSPCON1 register is used to  
control stretching in software. Any time the CKP bit is  
cleared, the module will wait for the SCL line to go low  
and then hold it. Setting CKP will release SCL and  
allow more communication.  
When AHEN bit of SSPCON3 is set; CKP is cleared by  
hardware after the 8th falling edge of SCL for a  
received matching address byte. When DHEN bit of  
SSPCON3 is set; CKP is cleared after the 8th falling  
edge of SCL for received data.  
20.5.6.1  
Normal Clock Stretching  
Stretching after the 8th falling edge of SCL allows the  
slave to look at the received address or data and  
decide if it wants to ACK the received data.  
Following an ACK if the R/W bit of SSPSTAT is set, a  
read request, the slave hardware will clear CKP. This  
allows the slave time to update SSPBUF with data to  
transfer to the master. If the SEN bit of SSPCON2 is  
set, the slave hardware will always stretch the clock  
after the ACK sequence. Once the slave is ready; CKP  
is set by software and communication resumes.  
20.5.7  
CLOCK SYNCHRONIZATION AND  
THE CKP BIT  
Any time the CKP bit is cleared, the module will wait  
for the SCL line to go low and then hold it. However,  
clearing the CKP bit will not assert the SCL output low  
until the SCL output is already sampled low. There-  
fore, the CKP bit will not assert the SCL line until an  
external I2C master device has 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  
released SCL. This ensures that a write to the CKP bit  
will not violate the minimum high time requirement for  
SCL (see Figure 20-22).  
Note 1: The BF bit has no effect on if the clock will  
be stretched or not. This is different than  
previous versions of the module that  
would not stretch the clock, clear CKP, if  
SSPBUF was read before the 9th falling  
edge of SCL.  
2: Previous versions of the module did not  
stretch the clock for a transmission if  
SSPBUF was loaded before the 9th falling  
edge of SCL. It is now always cleared for  
read requests.

GENERAL CALL ADDRESS  
SUPPORT  
Figure 20-23 shows  
sequence.  
a
general call reception  
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 device. 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.  
In 10-bit Address mode, the UA bit will not be set on  
the reception of the general call address. The slave  
will prepare to receive the second byte as data, just as  
it would in 7-Bit mode.  
If the AHEN bit of the SSPCON3 register is set, just as  
with any other address reception, the slave hardware  
will stretch the clock after the 8th falling edge of SCL.  
The slave must then set its ACKDT value and release  
the clock with communication progressing as it would  
normally.  
The general call address is a reserved address in the  
I2C protocol, defined as address 0x00. When the  
GCEN bit of the SSPCON2 register is set, the slave  
module will automatically ACK the reception of this  
address regardless of the value stored in SSPADD.  
After the slave clocks in an address of all zeros with  
the R/W bit clear, an interrupt is generated and slave

SSP MASK REGISTER  
An SSP Mask (SSPMSK) register (Register 20-5) is  
available in I2C Slave mode as a mask for the value  
held in the SSPSR register during an address  
comparison operation. A zero (‘0’) bit in the SSPMSK  
register has the effect of making the corresponding bit  
of the received address a “don’t care”.  
This register is reset to all ‘1’s upon any Reset  
condition and, therefore, has no effect on standard  
SSP operation until written with a mask value.  
The SSP Mask register is active during:  
• 7-bit Address mode: address compare of A<7:1>.  
• 10-bit Address mode: address compare of A<7:0>  
only. The SSP mask has no effect during the  
reception of the first (high) byte of the address.

20.6.1  
I C MASTER MODE OPERATION  
20.6 I C MASTER MODE  
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.  
Master mode is enabled by setting and clearing the  
appropriate SSPM bits in the SSPCON1 register and  
by setting the SSPEN bit. In Master mode, the SDA and  
SCK pins must be configured as inputs. The MSSP  
peripheral hardware will override the output driver TRIS  
controls when necessary to drive the pins low.  
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 eight 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.  
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 I2C bus may be taken when the P bit is  
set, or the bus is Idle.  
In Firmware Controlled Master mode, user code  
conducts all I2C bus operations based on Start and  
Stop bit condition detection. Start and Stop condition  
detection is the only active circuitry in this mode. All  
other communication is done by the user software  
directly manipulating the SDA and SCL lines.  
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 the receive bit.  
Serial data is received via SDA, while SCL outputs the  
serial clock. Serial data is received eight 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 following events will cause the SSP Interrupt Flag  
bit, SSPIF, to be set (SSP interrupt, if enabled):  
• Start condition detected  
• Stop condition detected  
• Data transfer byte transmitted/received  
• Acknowledge transmitted/received  
• Repeated Start generated  
A Baud Rate Generator is used to set the clock  
frequency output on SCL. See Section 20.7 “Baud  
Rate Generator” for more detail.  
Note 1: The MSSP module, when configured in  
I2C Master mode, does not allow  
queueing of events. For instance, the user  
is not allowed to initiate a Start condition  
and immediately write the SSPBUF  
register to initiate transmission before the  
Start condition is complete. In this case,  
the SSPBUF will not be written to and the  
WCOL bit will be set, indicating that a  
write to the SSPBUF did not occur  
2: When in Master mode, Start/Stop  
detection is masked and an interrupt is  
generated when the SEN/PEN bit is  
cleared and the generation is complete.

CLOCK ARBITRATION  
Clock arbitration occurs when the master, during any  
receive, transmit or Repeated Start/Stop condition,  
releases 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 SCL pin is  
sampled high, the Baud Rate Generator is reloaded  
with the contents of SSPADD<7:0> 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 20-25).

unchanged (the write does not occur). Any time the  
WCOL bit is set it indicates that an action on SSPBUF  
was attempted while the module was not Idle.  
Note:  
Because queueing of events is not  
allowed, writing to the lower five bits of  
SSPCON2 is disabled until the Start  
condition is complete.

I C MASTER MODE START  
CONDITION TIMING  
To initiate a Start condition, the user sets the Start  
Enable bit, SEN bit of the SSPCON2 register. If the  
SDA and SCL pins are sampled high, the Baud Rate  
Generator is reloaded with the contents of  
SSPADD<7:0> 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 of the SSPSTAT1  
register to be set. Following this, the Baud Rate  
Generator is reloaded with the contents of  
SSPADD<7:0> and resumes its count. When the Baud  
Rate Generator times out (TBRG), the SEN bit of the  
SSPCON2 register will be automatically cleared by  
hardware; the Baud Rate Generator is suspended,  
leaving the SDA line held low and the Start condition is  
complete.  
Note 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.  
2: The Philips I2C Specification states that a  
bus collision cannot occur on a Start.

SSPCON2 register 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 of the  
SSPSTAT register will be set. The SSPIF bit will not be  
set until the Baud Rate Generator has timed out.  
20.6.5  
I C MASTER MODE REPEATED  
START CONDITION TIMING  
A Repeated Start condition occurs when the RSEN bit  
of the SSPCON2 register is programmed high and the  
Master state machine is no longer active. 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 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 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. SCL is  
asserted low. Following this, the RSEN bit of the  
Note 1: If RSEN is programmed while any other  
event is in progress, it will not take effect.  
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’.

on the rising 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 20-27).  
20.6.6  
I C MASTER MODE  
TRANSMISSION  
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 trans-  
mission. Each bit of address/data will be shifted out  
onto the SDA pin after the falling edge of SCL is  
asserted. SCL is held low for one Baud Rate Generator  
rollover count (TBRG). Data should be valid before SCL  
is released high. 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 prop-  
erly. The status of ACK is written into the ACKSTAT bit  
After the write to the SSPBUF, each bit of the 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  
release 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 of the SSPCON2  
register. 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.

20.6.6.2  
WCOL Status Flag  
If the user writes the SSPBUF when a transmit is  
already in progress (i.e., SSPSR is still shifting out a

WCOL must be cleared by software before the next

20.6.6.3  
ACKSTAT Status Flag  
In Transmit mode, the ACKSTAT bit of the SSPCON2  
register 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.

4. The MSSP module will wait the required start  
time before any other operation takes place.  
5. The user loads the SSPBUF with the slave  
address to transmit.  
6. Address is shifted out the SDA pin until all eight  
bits are transmitted. Transmission begins as  
soon as SSPBUF is written to.  
7. The MSSP module shifts in the ACK bit from the

12. Steps 8-11 are repeated for all transmitted data  
bytes.  
13. The user generates a Stop or Restart condition  
by setting the PEN or RSEN bits of the  
SSPCON2 register. Interrupt is generated once  
the Stop/Restart condition is complete.

20.6.7.4  
Typical Receive Sequence:  
Master mode reception is enabled by programming the  
Receive Enable bit, RCEN bit of the SSPCON2  
register.  
1. The user generates a Start condition by setting  
the SEN bit of the SSPCON2 register.  
2. SSPIF is set by hardware on completion of the  
Start.  
Note:  
The MSSP module must be in an Idle  
state before the RCEN bit is set or the  
RCEN bit will be disregarded.  
3. SSPIF is cleared by software.  
4. User writes SSPBUF with the slave address to  
transmit and the R/W bit set.  
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, ACKEN bit of the SSPCON2 register.  
5. Address is shifted out the SDA pin until all eight  
bits are transmitted. Transmission begins as  
soon as SSPBUF is written to.  
6. The MSSP module shifts in the ACK bit from the  
slave device and writes its value into the  
ACKSTAT bit of the SSPCON2 register.  
7. The MSSP module generates an interrupt at the  
end of the ninth clock cycle by setting the SSPIF  
bit.  
8. User sets the RCEN bit of the SSPCON2 register  
and the master clocks in a byte from the slave.  
9. After the 8th falling edge of SCL, SSPIF and BF  
are set.  
10. Master clears SSPIF and reads the received  
byte from SSPUF, clears BF.  
20.6.7.1  
BF Status Flag  
In receive operation, the BF bit is set when an address  
or data byte is loaded into SSPBUF from SSPSR. It is

bit of the SSPCON2 register and initiates the  
ACK by setting the ACKEN bit.  
12. Masters ACK is clocked out to the slave and  
SSPIF is set.  
20.6.7.2  
SSPOV Status Flag  
In receive operation, the SSPOV bit is set when eight  
bits are received into the SSPSR and the BF flag bit is  
already set from a previous reception.  
13. User clears SSPIF.  
14. Steps 8-13 are repeated for each received byte  
from the slave.  
20.6.7.3  
WCOL Status Flag  
15. Master sends a not ACK or Stop to end  
communication.  
If the user writes the SSPBUF when a receive is

TIMING  
20.6.9  
STOP CONDITION TIMING  
A Stop bit is asserted on the SDA pin at the end of a  
receive/transmit by setting the Stop Sequence Enable  
bit, PEN bit of the SSPCON2 register. 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 of the  
SSPSTAT register is set. A TBRG later, the PEN bit is  
cleared and the SSPIF bit is set (Figure 20-30).  
An Acknowledge sequence is enabled by setting the  
Acknowledge Sequence Enable bit, ACKEN bit of the  
SSPCON2 register. 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 20-29).

20.6.10 SLEEP OPERATION  
20.6.13 MULTI -MASTER COMMUNICATION,  
BUS COLLISION AND BUS  
While in Sleep mode, the I2C slave module can receive  
addresses or data and when an address match or  
complete byte transfer occurs, wake the processor  
from Sleep (if the MSSP interrupt is enabled).  
ARBITRATION  
Multi-Master mode support is achieved by bus arbitra-  
tion. 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 is ‘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 20-31).  
20.6.11 EFFECTS OF A RESET  
A Reset disables the MSSP module and terminates the  
current transfer.  
20.6.12 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 I2C bus may  
be taken when the P bit of the SSPSTAT register 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 gener-  
ate the interrupt when the Stop condition occurs.  
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.  
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 by  
hardware with the result placed in the BCLIF bit.  
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 states where arbitration can be lost are:  
• Address Transfer  
• Data Transfer  
• 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 Repeated Start Condition  
• An Acknowledge Condition  
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.

If the SDA pin is sampled low during this count, the  
BRG is reset and the SDA line is asserted early  
(Figure 20-34). 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 zero; if the SCL pin is sampled as ‘0’  
during this time, a bus collision does not occur. At the  
end of the BRG count, the SCL pin is asserted low.  
20.6.13.1 Bus Collision During a Start  
Condition  
During a Start condition, a bus collision occurs if:  
a) SDA or SCL are sampled low at the beginning of  
the Start condition (Figure 20-32).  
b) SCL is sampled low before SDA is asserted low  
(Figure 20-33).  
During a Start condition, both the SDA and the SCL  
pins are monitored.  
Note:  
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.  
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 20-32).  
The Start condition begins with the SDA and SCL pins  
deasserted. When the SDA pin is sampled high, the  
Baud Rate Generator is loaded and counts down. 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.

If SDA is low, a bus collision has occurred (i.e., another  
master is attempting to transmit a data ‘0’, Figure 20-35).  
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.  
20.6.13.2 Bus Collision During a Repeated  
Start Condition  
During a Repeated Start condition, a bus collision  
occurs if:  
a) A low level is sampled on SDA when SCL goes  
from low level to high level.  
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 20-36.  
b) SCL goes low before SDA is asserted low,  
indicating that another master is attempting to  
transmit a data ‘1’.  
When the user releases SDA and the pin is allowed to  
float high, the BRG is loaded with SSPADD and counts  
down to zero. The SCL pin is then deasserted and  
when sampled high, the SDA pin is sampled.  
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  
reloaded and begins counting. At the end of the count,  
regardless of the status of the SCL pin, the SCL pin is  
driven low and the Repeated Start condition is  
complete.

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 and  
counts down to zero. 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  
drive a data ‘0’ (Figure 20-37). If the SCL pin is sampled  
low before SDA is allowed to float high, a bus collision  
occurs. This is another case of another master  
attempting to drive a data ‘0’ (Figure 20-38).  
20.6.13.3 Bus Collision During a Stop  
Condition  
Bus collision occurs during a Stop condition if:  
a) After the SDA pin has been deasserted and  
allowed to float high, SDA is sampled low after  
the BRG has timed out.  
b) After the SCL pin is deasserted, SCL is sampled  
low before SDA goes high.

PIC16(L)F1512/3  
An internal signal “Reload” in Figure 20-39 triggers the  
value from SSPADD to be loaded into the BRG counter.  
This occurs twice for each oscillation of the module  
clock line. The logic dictating when the reload signal is  
asserted depends on the mode the MSSP is being  
operated in.  
20.7 BAUD RATE GENERATOR  
The MSSP module has a Baud Rate Generator  
available for clock generation in both I2C and SPI  
Master modes. The Baud Rate Generator (BRG)  
reload value is placed in the SSPADD register  
(Register 20-6). When a write occurs to SSPBUF, the  
Baud Rate Generator will automatically begin counting  
down.  
Table 20-4 demonstrates clock rates based on  
instruction cycles and the BRG value loaded into  
SSPADD.  
Once the given operation is complete, the internal clock  
will automatically stop counting and the clock pin will  
remain in its last state.

21.0 CAPTURE/COMPARE/PWM  
MODULES  
The Capture/Compare/PWM module is a peripheral  
which allows the user to time and control different  
events, and to generate Pulse-Width Modulation  
(PWM) signals. In Capture mode, the peripheral allows  
the timing of the duration of an event. The Compare  
mode allows the user to trigger an external event when  
a predetermined amount of time has expired. The  
PWM mode can generate Pulse-Width Modulated  
signals of varying frequency and duty cycle.  
This family of devices contains two standard Capture/  
Compare/PWM modules (CCP1 and CCP2).  
The Capture and Compare functions are identical for all  
CCP modules.  
Note 1: In devices with more than one CCP  
module, it is very important to pay close  
attention to the register names used. A  
number placed after the module acronym  
is used to distinguish between separate  
modules. For example, the CCP1CON  
and CCP2CON control the same  
operational aspects of two completely  
different CCP modules.  
2: Throughout  
this  
section,  
generic  
references to a CCP module in any of its  
operating modes may be interpreted as  
being equally applicable to CCPx module.  
Register names, module signals, I/O pins,  
and bit names may use the generic  
designator ‘x’ to indicate the use of a  
numeral to distinguish a particular module,  
when required.

21.1.2  
TIMER1 MODE RESOURCE  
21.1 Capture Mode  
Timer1 must be running in Timer mode or Synchronized  
Counter mode for the CCP module to use the capture  
feature. In Asynchronous Counter mode, the capture  
operation may not work.  
The Capture mode function described in this section is  
available and identical for all CCP modules.  
Capture mode makes use of the 16-bit Timer1  
resource. When an event occurs on the CCPx pin, the  
16-bit CCPRxH:CCPRxL register pair captures and  
stores the 16-bit value of the TMR1H:TMR1L register  
pair, respectively. An event is defined as one of the  
following and is configured by the CCPxM<3:0> bits of  
the CCPxCON register:  
See Section 18.0 “Timer1 Module with Gate  
Control” for more information on configuring Timer1.  
21.1.3  
SOFTWARE INTERRUPT MODE  
When the Capture mode is changed, a false capture  
interrupt may be generated. The user should keep the  
CCPxIE interrupt enable bit of the PIEx register clear to  
avoid false interrupts. Additionally, the user should  
clear the CCPxIF interrupt flag bit of the PIRx register  
following any change in Operating mode.  
• Every falling edge  
• Every rising edge  
• Every 4th rising edge  
• Every 16th rising edge  
When a capture is made, the Interrupt Request Flag bit  
CCPxIF of the PIRx register is set. The interrupt flag  
must be cleared in software. If another capture occurs  
before the value in the CCPRxH, CCPRxL register pair  
is read, the old captured value is overwritten by the new  
captured value.  
21.1.4  
CCP PRESCALER  
There are four prescaler settings specified by the  
CCPxM<3:0> bits of the CCPxCON register. Whenever  
the CCP module is turned off, or the CCP module is not  
in Capture mode, the prescaler counter is cleared. Any  
Reset will clear the prescaler counter.  
Figure 21-1 shows a simplified diagram of the Capture  
operation.  
Switching from one capture prescaler to another does not  
clear the prescaler and may generate a false interrupt. To  
avoid this unexpected operation, turn the module off by  
clearing the CCPxCON register before changing the  
prescaler. Equation 21-1 demonstrates the code to  
perform this function.  
21.1.1  
CCP PIN CONFIGURATION  
In Capture mode, the CCPx pin should be configured  
as an input by setting the associated TRIS control bit.  
Also, the CCP2 pin function can be moved to  
alternative pins using the APFCON register. Refer to  
Section Register 12-1: “APFCON: Alternate Pin  
Function Control Register” for more details.

CAPTURE DURING SLEEP  
Capture mode depends upon the Timer1 module for  
proper operation. There are two options for driving the  
Timer1 module in Capture mode. It can be driven by the  
instruction clock (FOSC/4), or by an external clock source.  
When Timer1 is clocked by FOSC/4, Timer1 will not  
increment during Sleep. When the device wakes from  
Sleep, Timer1 will continue from its previous state.  
Capture mode will operate during Sleep when Timer1  
is clocked by an external clock source.  
21.1.6  
ALTERNATE PIN LOCATIONS  
This module incorporates I/O pins that can be moved to  
other locations with the use of the alternate pin function  
register APFCON. To determine which pins can be  
moved and what their default locations are upon a  
Reset, see Section 12.1 “Alternate Pin Function” for  
more information.

TIMER1 MODE RESOURCE  
21.2 Compare Mode  
In Compare mode, Timer1 must be running in either  
Timer mode or Synchronized Counter mode. The  
compare operation may not work in Asynchronous  
Counter mode.  
The Compare mode function described in this section  
is available and identical for al CCP modules.  
Compare mode makes use of the 16-bit Timer1  
resource. The 16-bit value of the CCPRxH:CCPRxL  
register pair is constantly compared against the 16-bit  
value of the TMR1H:TMR1L register pair. When a  
match occurs, one of the following events can occur:  
See Section 18.0 “Timer1 Module with Gate Control”  
for more information on configuring Timer1.  
Note:  
Clocking Timer1 from the system clock  
(FOSC) should not be used in Compare  
mode. In order for Compare mode to  
recognize the trigger event on the CCPx  
pin, TImer1 must be clocked from the  
instruction clock (FOSC/4) or from an  
external clock source.

21.2.3  
SOFTWARE INTERRUPT MODE  
When Generate Software Interrupt mode is chosen  
(CCPxM<3:0> = 1010), the CCPx module does not

The Special Event Trigger output of the CCP occurs  
immediately upon a match between the TMR1H,  
TMR1L register pair and the CCPRxH, CCPRxL  
register pair. The TMR1H, TMR1L register pair is not  
reset until the next rising edge of the Timer1 clock. The  
Special Event Trigger output starts an A/D conversion  
(if the A/D module is enabled). This allows the  
CCPRxH, CCPRxL register pair to effectively provide a  
16-bit programmable period register for Timer1.

Note 1: The Special Event Trigger from the CCPx  
module does not set interrupt flag bit  
TMR1IF of the PIR1 register.  
The CCP2 pin function can be moved to alternate pins  
using the APFCON register (Register 12-1). Refer to  
Section 12.1 “Alternate Pin Function” for more  
details.  
2: Removing the match condition by  
changing the contents of the CCPRxH  
and CCPRxL register pair, between the  
clock edge that generates the Special  
Event Trigger and the clock edge that  
generates the Timer1 Reset, will  
preclude the Reset from occurring.  
Note:  
Clearing the CCPxCON register will force  
the CCPx compare output latch to the  
default low level. This is not the PORT I/O  
data latch.

CCP PWM OUTPUT SIGNAL  
21.3 PWM Overview  
Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) is a scheme that  
provides power to a load by switching quickly between  
fully on and fully off states. The PWM signal resembles  
a square wave where the high portion of the signal is  
considered the on state and the low portion of the signal  
is considered the off state. The high portion, also known  
as the pulse width, can vary in time and is defined in  
steps. A larger number of steps applied, which  
lengthens the pulse width, also supplies more power to  
the load. Lowering the number of steps applied, which  
shortens the pulse width, supplies less power. The  
PWM period is defined as the duration of one complete  
cycle or the total amount of on and off time combined.

The term duty cycle describes the proportion of the on

duty cycle corresponds to more power applied.

STANDARD PWM OPERATION  
The standard PWM function described in this section is  
available and identical for all CCP modules.  
Note 1: The 8-bit timer TMR2 register is concatenated  
with the 2-bit internal system clock (FOSC), or  
2 bits of the prescaler, to create the 10-bit time  
base.  
The standard PWM mode generates a Pulse-Width  
Modulation (PWM) signal on the CCPx pin with up to 10  
bits of resolution. The period, duty cycle, and resolution  
are controlled by the following registers:  
2: In PWM mode, CCPRxH is a read-only register.  
• PR2 registers  
• T2CON registers  
• CCPRxL registers  
• CCPxCON registers  
Figure 21-4 shows a simplified block diagram of PWM  
operation.  
Note 1: The corresponding TRIS bit must be  
cleared to enable the PWM output on the  
CCPx pin.  
2: Clearing the CCPxCON register will  
relinquish control of the CCPx pin.

When TMR2 is equal to PR2, the following three events  
occur on the next increment cycle:  
21.3.2  
SETUP FOR PWM OPERATION  
The following steps should be taken when configuring  
the CCP module for standard PWM operation:  
• TMR2 is cleared  
• The CCPx pin is set. (Exception: If the PWM duty  
cycle = 0%, the pin will not be set.)  
1. Disable the CCPx pin output driver by setting the  
associated TRIS bit.  
• The PWM duty cycle is latched from CCPRxL into  
CCPRxH.  
2. Load the PR2 register with the PWM period  
value.  
3. Configure the CCP module for the PWM mode  
by loading the CCPxCON register with the  
appropriate values.  
Note:  
The Timer postscaler (see Section 19.1  
“Timer2 Operation”) is not used in the  
determination of the PWM frequency.  
4. Load the CCPRxL register and the DCxBx bits  
of the CCPxCON register, with the PWM duty  
cycle value.  
21.3.5  
PWM DUTY CYCLE  
The PWM duty cycle is specified by writing a 10-bit  
value to multiple registers: CCPRxL register and  
DCxB<1:0> bits of the CCPxCON register. The  
CCPRxL contains the eight MSbs and the DCxB<1:0>  
bits of the CCPxCON register contain the two LSbs.  
CCPRxL and DCxB<1:0> bits of the CCPxCON  
register can be written to at any time. The duty cycle  
value is not latched into CCPRxH until after the period  
completes (i.e., a match between PR2 and TMR2  
registers occurs). While using the PWM, the CCPRxH  
register is read-only.  
5. Configure and start Timer2:  
• Clear the TMR2IF interrupt flag bit of the  
PIRx register. See Note below.  
• Configure the T2CKPS bits of the T2CON  
register with the Timer prescale value.  
• Enable the Timer by setting the TMR2ON  
bit of the T2CON register.  
6. Enable PWM output pin:  
• Wait until the Timer overflows and the  
TMR2IF bit of the PIR1 register is set. See  
Note below.  
Equation 21-2 is used to calculate the PWM pulse  
width.  
• Enable the CCPx pin output driver by  
clearing the associated TRIS bit.  
Equation 21-3 is used to calculate the PWM duty cycle  
ratio.  
Note:  
In order to send a complete duty cycle and  
period on the first PWM output, the above  
steps must be included in the setup  
sequence. If it is not critical to start with a  
complete PWM signal on the first output,  
then step 6 may be ignored.

PWM PERIOD  
The PWM period is specified by the PR2 register of

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.  
EQUATION 21-1: PWM PERIOD  
The 8-bit timer TMR2 register is concatenated with  
either the 2-bit internal system clock (FOSC), or two bits  
of the prescaler, to create the 10-bit time base. The  
system clock is used if the Timer2 prescaler is set to 1:1.

OPERATION IN SLEEP MODE  
21.3.10 ALTERNATE PIN LOCATIONS  
In Sleep mode, the TMR2 register will not increment  
and the state of the module will not change. If the CCPx  
pin is driving a value, it will continue to drive that value.  
When the device wakes up, TMR2 will continue from its  
previous state.  
This module incorporates I/O pins that can be moved to  
other locations with the use of the alternate pin function  
register APFCON. To determine which pins can be  
moved and what their default locations are upon a  
Reset, see Section 12.1 “Alternate Pin Function” for  
more information.  
21.3.8  
CHANGES IN SYSTEM CLOCK  
FREQUENCY  
The PWM frequency is derived from the system clock  
frequency. Any changes in the system clock frequency  
will result in changes to the PWM frequency. See  
Section 5.0 “Oscillator Module (With Fail-Safe  
Clock Monitor)” for additional details.  
21.3.9  
EFFECTS OF RESET  
Any Reset will force all ports to Input mode and the  
CCP registers to their Reset states.

The EUSART module implements the following  
additional features, making it ideally suited for use in  
Local Interconnect Network (LIN) bus systems:  
communications with peripheral systems, such as CRT  
terminals and personal computers. Half-Duplex  
Synchronous mode is intended for communications  
with peripheral devices, such as A/D or D/A integrated  
circuits, serial EEPROMs or other microcontrollers.  
These devices typically do not have internal clocks for  
baud rate generation and require the external clock  
signal provided by a master synchronous device.

The operation of the EUSART module is controlled  
through three registers:  
• Transmit Status and Control (TXSTA)  
• Receive Status and Control (RCSTA)  
• Baud Rate Control (BAUDCON)  
These registers are detailed in Register 22-1,  
Register 22-2 and Register 22-3, respectively.  
When the receiver or transmitter section is not enabled  
then the corresponding RX or TX pin may be used for  
general purpose input and output.

22.1.1.2  
Transmitting Data  
22.1 EUSART Asynchronous Mode  
A transmission is initiated by writing a character to the  
TXREG register. If this is the first character, or the  
previous character has been completely flushed from  
the TSR, the data in the TXREG is immediately  
transferred to the TSR register. If the TSR still contains  
all or part of a previous character, the new character  
data is held in the TXREG until the Stop bit of the  
previous character has been transmitted. The pending  
character in the TXREG is then transferred to the TSR  
in one TCY immediately following the Stop bit  
transmission. The transmission of the Start bit, data bits  
and Stop bit sequence commences immediately  
following the transfer of the data to the TSR from the  
TXREG.  
The EUSART transmits and receives data using the  
standard non-return-to-zero (NRZ) format. NRZ is  
implemented with two levels: a VOH mark state which  
represents a ‘1’ data bit, and a VOL space state which  
represents a ‘0’ data bit. NRZ refers to the fact that  
consecutively transmitted data bits of the same value  
stay at the output level of that bit without returning to a  
neutral level between each bit transmission. An NRZ  
transmission port idles in the mark state. Each character  
transmission consists of one Start bit followed by eight  
or nine data bits and is always terminated by one or  
more Stop bits. The Start bit is always a space and the  
Stop bits are always marks. The most common data  
format is eight bits. Each transmitted bit persists for a  
period of 1/(Baud Rate). An on-chip dedicated  
8-bit/16-bit Baud Rate Generator is used to derive  
standard baud rate frequencies from the system  
oscillator. See Table 22-5 for examples of baud rate  
configurations.  
22.1.1.3  
Transmit Data Polarity  
The polarity of the transmit data can be controlled with  
the SCKP bit of the BAUDCON register. The default  
state of this bit is ‘0’ which selects high true transmit idle  
and data bits. Setting the SCKP bit to ‘1’ will invert the  
transmit data resulting in low true idle and data bits. The  
SCKP bit controls transmit data polarity in  
Asynchronous mode only. In Synchronous mode, the  
SCKP bit has a different function. See Section 22.5.1.2  
“Clock Polarity”.  
The EUSART transmits and receives the LSb first. The  
EUSART’s transmitter and receiver are functionally  
independent, but share the same data format and baud  
rate. Parity is not supported by the hardware, but can  
be implemented in software and stored as the ninth  
data bit.  
22.1.1.4  
Transmit Interrupt Flag  
22.1.1  
EUSART ASYNCHRONOUS  
TRANSMITTER  
The TXIF interrupt flag bit of the PIR1 register is set  
whenever the EUSART transmitter is enabled and no  
character is being held for transmission in the TXREG.  
In other words, the TXIF bit is only clear when the TSR  
is busy with a character and a new character has been  
queued for transmission in the TXREG. The TXIF flag bit  
is not cleared immediately upon writing TXREG. TXIF  
becomes valid in the second instruction cycle following  
the write execution. Polling TXIF immediately following  
the TXREG write will return invalid results. The TXIF bit  
is read-only, it cannot be set or cleared by software.  
The EUSART transmitter block diagram is shown in  
Figure 22-1. The heart of the transmitter is the serial  
Transmit Shift Register (TSR), which is not directly  
accessible by software. The TSR obtains its data from  
the transmit buffer, which is the TXREG register.  
22.1.1.1  
Enabling the Transmitter  
The EUSART transmitter is enabled for asynchronous  
operations by configuring the following three control  
bits:  
The TXIF interrupt can be enabled by setting the TXIE  
interrupt enable bit of the PIE1 register. However, the  
TXIF flag bit will be set whenever the TXREG is empty,  
regardless of the state of TXIE enable bit.  
• TXEN = 1  
• SYNC = 0  
• SPEN = 1  
To use interrupts when transmitting data, set the TXIE  
bit only when there is more data to send. Clear the  
TXIE interrupt enable bit upon writing the last character  
of the transmission to the TXREG.  
All other EUSART control bits are assumed to be in  
their default state.  
Setting the TXEN bit of the TXSTA register enables the  
transmitter circuitry of the EUSART. Clearing the SYNC  
bit of the TXSTA register configures the EUSART for  
asynchronous operation. Setting the SPEN bit of the  
RCSTA register enables the EUSART and automatically  
configures the TX/CK I/O pin as an output. If the TX/CK  
pin is shared with an analog peripheral, the analog I/O  
function must be disabled by clearing the corresponding  
ANSEL bit.  
Note 1: The TXIF Transmitter Interrupt flag is set  
when the TXEN enable bit is set.

22.1.1.5  
TSR Status  
22.1.1.7  
Asynchronous Transmission Set-up:  
The TRMT bit of the TXSTA register indicates the  
status of the TSR register. This is a read-only bit. The  
TRMT bit is set when the TSR register is empty and is  
cleared when a character is transferred to the TSR  
register from the TXREG. The TRMT bit remains clear  
until all bits have been shifted out of the TSR register.  
No interrupt logic is tied to this bit, so the user has to  
poll this bit to determine the TSR status.  
1. Initialize the SPBRGH, SPBRGL register pair and  
the BRGH and BRG16 bits to achieve the desired  
baud rate (see Section 22.4 “EUSART Baud  
Rate Generator (BRG)”).  
2. Enable the asynchronous serial port by clearing  
the SYNC bit and setting the SPEN bit.  
3. If 9-bit transmission is desired, set the TX9  
control bit. A set ninth data bit will indicate that  
the eight Least Significant data bits are an  
address when the receiver is set for address  
detection.  
Note:  
The TSR register is not mapped in data  
memory, so it is not available to the user.  
22.1.1.6  
Transmitting 9-Bit Characters  
4. Set SCKP bit if inverted transmit is desired.  
The EUSART supports 9-bit character transmissions.  
When the TX9 bit of the TXSTA register is set, the  
EUSART will shift nine bits out for each character  
transmitted. The TX9D bit of the TXSTA register is the  
ninth, and Most Significant, data bit. When transmitting  
9-bit data, the TX9D data bit must be written before  
writing the eight Least Significant bits into the TXREG.  
All nine bits of data will be transferred to the TSR shift  
register immediately after the TXREG is written.  
5. Enable the transmission by setting the TXEN  
control bit. This will cause the TXIF interrupt bit  
to be set.  
6. If interrupts are desired, set the TXIE interrupt  
enable bit of the PIE1 register. An interrupt will  
occur immediately provided that the GIE and  
PEIE bits of the INTCON register are also set.  
7. If 9-bit transmission is selected, the ninth bit  
should be loaded into the TX9D data bit.  
A special 9-bit Address mode is available for use with  
multiple receivers. See Section 22.1.2.7 “Address  
Detection” for more information on the address mode.  
8. Load 8-bit data into the TXREG register. This  
will start the transmission.

22.1.2  
EUSART ASYNCHRONOUS  
RECEIVER  
22.1.2.2  
Receiving Data  
The receiver data recovery circuit initiates character  
reception on the falling edge of the first bit. The first bit,  
also known as the Start bit, is always a zero. The data  
recovery circuit counts one-half bit time to the center of  
the Start bit and verifies that the bit is still a zero. If it is  
not a zero then the data recovery circuit aborts  
character reception, without generating an error, and  
resumes looking for the falling edge of the Start bit. If  
the Start bit zero verification succeeds then the data  
recovery circuit counts a full bit time to the center of the  
next bit. The bit is then sampled by a majority detect  
circuit and the resulting ‘0’ or ‘1’ is shifted into the RSR.  
This repeats until all data bits have been sampled and  
shifted into the RSR. One final bit time is measured and  
the level sampled. This is the Stop bit, which is always  
a ‘1’. If the data recovery circuit samples a ‘0’ in the  
Stop bit position then a framing error is set for this  
character, otherwise the framing error is cleared for this  
character. See Section 22.1.2.4 “Receive Framing  
Error” for more information on framing errors.  
The Asynchronous mode is typically used in RS-232  
systems. The receiver block diagram is shown in  
Figure 22-2. The data is received on the RX/DT pin and  
drives the data recovery block. The data recovery block  
is actually a high-speed shifter operating at 16 times  
the baud rate, whereas the serial Receive Shift  
Register (RSR) operates at the bit rate. When all eight  
or nine bits of the character have been shifted in, they  
are immediately transferred to  
a two character  
First-In-First-Out (FIFO) memory. The FIFO buffering  
allows reception of two complete characters and the  
start of a third character before software must start  
servicing the EUSART receiver. The FIFO and RSR  
registers are not directly accessible by software.  
Access to the received data is via the RCREG register.  
22.1.2.1  
Enabling the Receiver  
The EUSART receiver is enabled for asynchronous  
operation by configuring the following three control bits:  
Immediately after all data bits and the Stop bit have  
been received, the character in the RSR is transferred  
to the EUSART receive FIFO and the RCIF interrupt  
flag bit of the PIR1 register is set. The top character in  
the FIFO is transferred out of the FIFO by reading the  
RCREG register.  
• CREN = 1  
• SYNC = 0  
• SPEN = 1  
All other EUSART control bits are assumed to be in  
their default state.  
Setting the CREN bit of the RCSTA register enables the  
receiver circuitry of the EUSART. Clearing the SYNC bit  
of the TXSTA register configures the EUSART for  
asynchronous operation. Setting the SPEN bit of the  
RCSTA register enables the EUSART. The programmer  
must set the corresponding TRIS bit to configure the  
RX/DT I/O pin as an input.  
Note:  
If the receive FIFO is overrun, no additional  
characters will be received until the overrun  
condition is cleared. See Section 22.1.2.5  
“Receive Overrun Error” for more  
information on overrun errors.  
22.1.2.3  
Receive Interrupts  
The RCIF interrupt flag bit of the PIR1 register is set  
whenever the EUSART receiver is enabled and there is  
an unread character in the receive FIFO. The RCIF  
interrupt flag bit is read-only, it cannot be set or cleared  
by software.  
Note 1: If the RX/DT function is on an analog pin,  
the corresponding ANSEL bit must be  
cleared for the receiver to function.  
RCIF interrupts are enabled by setting all of the  
following bits:  
• RCIE, Interrupt Enable bit of the PIE1 register  
• PEIE, Peripheral Interrupt Enable bit of the  
INTCON register  
• GIE, Global Interrupt Enable bit of the INTCON  
register  
The RCIF interrupt flag bit will be set when there is an  
unread character in the FIFO, regardless of the state of  
interrupt enable bits.

22.1.2.4  
Receive Framing Error  
22.1.2.7  
Address Detection  
Each character in the receive FIFO buffer has a  
corresponding framing error Status bit. A framing error  
indicates that a Stop bit was not seen at the expected  
time. The framing error status is accessed via the  
FERR bit of the RCSTA register. The FERR bit  
represents the status of the top unread character in the  
receive FIFO. Therefore, the FERR bit must be read  
before reading the RCREG.  
A special Address Detection mode is available for use  
when multiple receivers share the same transmission  
line, such as in RS-485 systems. Address detection is  
enabled by setting the ADDEN bit of the RCSTA  
register.  
Address detection requires 9-bit character reception.  
When address detection is enabled, only characters  
with the ninth data bit set will be transferred to the  
receive FIFO buffer, thereby setting the RCIF interrupt  
bit. All other characters will be ignored.  
The FERR bit is read-only and only applies to the top  
unread character in the receive FIFO. A framing error  
(FERR = 1) does not preclude reception of additional  
characters. It is not necessary to clear the FERR bit.  
Reading the next character from the FIFO buffer will  
advance the FIFO to the next character and the next  
corresponding framing error.  
Upon receiving an address character, user software  
determines if the address matches its own. Upon  
address match, user software must disable address  
detection by clearing the ADDEN bit before the next  
Stop bit occurs. When user software detects the end of  
the message, determined by the message protocol  
used, software places the receiver back into the  
Address Detection mode by setting the ADDEN bit.  
The FERR bit can be forced clear by clearing the SPEN  
bit of the RCSTA register which resets the EUSART.  
Clearing the CREN bit of the RCSTA register does not  
affect the FERR bit. A framing error by itself does not  
generate an interrupt.  
Note:  
If all receive characters in the receive  
FIFO have framing errors, repeated reads  
of the RCREG will not clear the FERR bit.  
22.1.2.5  
Receive Overrun Error  
The receive FIFO buffer can hold two characters. An  
overrun error will be generated if a third character, in its  
entirety, is received before the FIFO is accessed. When  
this happens the OERR bit of the RCSTA register is set.  
The characters already in the FIFO buffer can be read  
but no additional characters will be received until the  
error is cleared. The error must be cleared by either  
clearing the CREN bit of the RCSTA register or by  
resetting the EUSART by clearing the SPEN bit of the  
RCSTA register.  
22.1.2.6  
Receiving 9-bit Characters  
The EUSART supports 9-bit character reception. When  
the RX9 bit of the RCSTA register is set the EUSART  
will shift nine bits into the RSR for each character  
received. The RX9D bit of the RCSTA register is the  
ninth and Most Significant data bit of the top unread  
character in the receive FIFO. When reading 9-bit data  
from the receive FIFO buffer, the RX9D data bit must  
be read before reading the eight Least Significant bits  
from the RCREG.

Asynchronous Reception Set-up:  
22.1.2.9  
9-bit Address Detection Mode Set-up  
1. Initialize the SPBRGH, SPBRGL register pair  
and the BRGH and BRG16 bits to achieve the  
desired baud rate (see Section 22.4 “EUSART  
Baud Rate Generator (BRG)”).  
This mode would typically be used in RS-485 systems.  
To set up an Asynchronous Reception with Address  
Detect Enable:  
1. Initialize the SPBRGH, SPBRGL register pair  
and the BRGH and BRG16 bits to achieve the  
desired baud rate (see Section 22.4 “EUSART  
Baud Rate Generator (BRG)”).  
2. Clear the ANSEL bit for the RX pin (if applicable).  
3. Enable the serial port by setting the SPEN bit.  
The SYNC bit must be clear for asynchronous  
operation.  
2. Clear the ANSEL bit for the RX pin (if applicable).  
4. If interrupts are desired, set the RCIE bit of the  
PIE1 register and the GIE and PEIE bits of the  
INTCON register.  
3. Enable the serial port by setting the SPEN bit.  
The SYNC bit must be clear for asynchronous  
operation.  
5. If 9-bit reception is desired, set the RX9 bit.  
6. Enable reception by setting the CREN bit.  
4. If interrupts are desired, set the RCIE bit of the  
PIE1 register and the GIE and PEIE bits of the  
INTCON register.  
7. The RCIF interrupt flag bit will be set when a  
character is transferred from the RSR to the  
receive buffer. An interrupt will be generated if  
the RCIE interrupt enable bit was also set.  
5. Enable 9-bit reception by setting the RX9 bit.  
6. Enable address detection by setting the ADDEN  
bit.  
8. Read the RCSTA register to get the error flags  
and, if 9-bit data reception is enabled, the ninth  
data bit.  
7. Enable reception by setting the CREN bit.  
8. The RCIF interrupt flag bit will be set when a  
character with the ninth bit set is transferred  
from the RSR to the receive buffer. An interrupt  
will be generated if the RCIE interrupt enable bit  
was also set.  
9. Get the received eight Least Significant data bits  
from the receive buffer by reading the RCREG  
register.  
10. If an overrun occurred, clear the OERR flag by  
clearing the CREN receiver enable bit.  
9. Read the RCSTA register to get the error flags.  
The ninth data bit will always be set.  
10. Get the received eight Least Significant data bits  
from the receive buffer by reading the RCREG  
register. Software determines if this is the  
device’s address.  
11. If an overrun occurred, clear the OERR flag by  
clearing the CREN receiver enable bit.  
12. If the device has been addressed, clear the  
ADDEN bit to allow all received data into the  
receive buffer and generate interrupts.

The first (preferred) method uses the OSCTUNE  
register to adjust the INTOSC output. Adjusting the  
value in the OSCTUNE register allows for fine resolution  
changes to the system clock source. See Section 5.2.2  
“Internal Clock Sources” for more information.  
22.2 Clock Accuracy with  
Asynchronous Operation  
The factory calibrates the internal oscillator block  
output (INTOSC). However, the INTOSC frequency  
may drift as VDD or temperature changes, and this  
directly affects the asynchronous baud rate. Two  
methods may be used to adjust the baud rate clock, but  
both require a reference clock source of some kind.  
The other method adjusts the value in the Baud Rate  
Generator. This can be done automatically with the  
Auto-Baud Detect feature (see Section 22.4.1  
“Auto-Baud Detect”). There may not be fine enough  
resolution when adjusting the Baud Rate Generator to  
compensate for a gradual change in the peripheral  
clock frequency.

EXAMPLE 22-1:  
CALCULATING BAUD  
RATE ERROR  
22.4 EUSART Baud Rate Generator  
(BRG)  
For a device with FOSC of 16 MHz, desired baud rate  
of 9600, Asynchronous mode, 8-bit BRG:  
The Baud Rate Generator (BRG) is an 8-bit or 16-bit  
timer that is dedicated to the support of both the  
asynchronous and synchronous EUSART operation.  
By default, the BRG operates in 8-bit mode. Setting the  
BRG16 bit of the BAUDCON register selects 16-bit  
mode.  
FOSC  
Desired Baud Rate = -----------------------------------------------------------------------  
64[SPBRGH:SPBRGL] + 1  
Solving for SPBRGH:SPBRGL:  
FOSC  
---------------------------------------------  
Desired Baud Rate  
X = --------------------------------------------- 1  
64  
The SPBRGH, SPBRGL register pair determines the  
period of the free running baud rate timer. In  
Asynchronous mode the multiplier of the baud rate  
period is determined by both the BRGH bit of the TXSTA  
register and the BRG16 bit of the BAUDCON register. In  
Synchronous mode, the BRGH bit is ignored.  
16000000  
-----------------------  
9600  
= ----------------------- 1  
64  
= 25.042= 25  
Table 22-3 contains the formulas for determining the  
baud rate. Example 22-1 provides a sample calculation  
for determining the baud rate and baud rate error.  
16000000  
Calculated Baud Rate = --------------------------  
6425 + 1  
Typical baud rates and error values for various  
asynchronous modes have been computed for your  
convenience and are shown in Table 22-3. It may be  
advantageous to use the high baud rate (BRGH = 1),  
or the 16-bit BRG (BRG16 = 1) to reduce the baud rate  
error. The 16-bit BRG mode is used to achieve slow  
baud rates for fast oscillator frequencies.  
= 9615  
Calc. Baud Rate Desired Baud Rate  
Error = --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  
Desired Baud Rate  
9615 9600  
= ---------------------------------- = 0 . 1 6 %  
9600  
Writing a new value to the SPBRGH, SPBRGL register  
pair causes the BRG timer to be reset (or cleared). This  
ensures that the BRG does not wait for a timer overflow  
before outputting the new baud rate.  
If the system clock is changed during an active receive  
operation, a receive error or data loss may result. To  
avoid this problem, check the status of the RCIDL bit to  
make sure that the receive operation is Idle before  
changing the system clock.

PIC16(L)F1512/3  
and SPBRGL registers are clocked at 1/8th the BRG  
base clock rate. The resulting byte measurement is the  
average bit time when clocked at full speed.  
22.4.1  
AUTO-BAUD DETECT  
The EUSART module supports automatic detection  
and calibration of the baud rate.  
Note 1: If the WUE bit is set with the ABDEN bit,  
auto-baud detection will occur on the byte  
following the Break character (see  
Section 22.4.3 “Auto-Wake-up on  
Break”).  
In the Auto-Baud 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.  
The Baud Rate Generator is used to time the period of  
a received 55h (ASCII “U”) which is the Sync character  
for the LIN bus. The unique feature of this character is  
that it has five rising edges including the Stop bit edge.  
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 EUSART baud rates are not possible.  
Setting the ABDEN bit of the BAUDCON register starts  
the auto-baud calibration sequence (Figure 22-6).  
While the ABD sequence takes place, the EUSART  
state machine is held in Idle. On the first rising edge of  
the receive line, after the Start bit, the SPBRG begins  
counting up using the BRG counter clock as shown in  
Table 22-6. The fifth rising edge will occur on the RX pin  
at the end of the eighth bit period. At that time, an  
accumulated value totaling the proper BRG period is  
left in the SPBRGH, SPBRGL register pair, the ABDEN  
bit is automatically cleared and the RCIF interrupt flag  
is set. The value in the RCREG needs to be read to  
clear the RCIF interrupt. RCREG content should be  
discarded. When calibrating for modes that do not use  
the SPBRGH register the user can verify that the  
SPBRGL register did not overflow by checking for 00h  
in the SPBRGH register.  
3: During the auto-baud process, the  
auto-baud counter starts counting at 1.  
Upon completion of the auto-baud  
sequence, to achieve maximum accuracy,  
subtract 1 from the SPBRGH:SPBRGL  
register pair.

The BRG auto-baud clock is determined by the BRG16  
and BRGH bits as shown in Table 22-6. During ABD,  
both the SPBRGH and SPBRGL registers are used as  
a 16-bit counter, independent of the BRG16 bit setting.  
While calibrating the baud rate period, the SPBRGH

During the ABD sequence, SPBRGL and  
SPBRGH registers are both used as a 16-bit  
counter, independent of BRG16 setting.

AUTO-BAUD OVERFLOW  
22.4.3.1  
Special Considerations  
During the course of automatic baud detection, the  
ABDOVF bit of the BAUDCON register will be set if the  
baud rate counter overflows before the fifth rising edge  
is detected on the RX pin. The ABDOVF bit indicates  
that the counter has exceeded the maximum count that  
can fit in the 16 bits of the SPBRGH:SPBRGL register  
pair. After the ABDOVF bit has been set, the counter  
continues to count until the fifth rising edge is detected  
on the RX pin. Upon detecting the fifth RX edge, the  
hardware will set the RCIF interrupt flag and clear the  
ABDEN bit of the BAUDCON register. The RCIF flag  
can be subsequently cleared by reading the RCREG  
register. The ABDOVF flag of the BAUDCON register  
can be cleared by software directly.  
Break Character  
To avoid character errors or character fragments  
during a wake-up event, the wake-up character must  
be all zeros.  
When the wake-up is enabled the function works  
independent of the low time on the data stream. If the  
WUE bit is set and a valid non-zero character is  
received, the low time from the Start bit to the first rising  
edge will be interpreted as the wake-up event. The  
remaining bits in the character will be received as a  
fragmented character and subsequent characters can  
result in framing or overrun errors.  
Therefore, the initial character in the transmission must  
be all ‘0’s. This must be 10 or more bit times, 13-bit  
times recommended for LIN bus, or any number of bit  
times for standard RS-232 devices.  
To terminate the auto-baud process before the RCIF  
flag is set, clear the ABDEN bit then clear the ABDOVF  
bit of the BAUDCON register. The ABDOVF bit will  
remain set if the ABDEN bit is not cleared first.  
Oscillator Start-up Time  
Oscillator start-up time must be considered, especially  
in applications using oscillators with longer start-up  
intervals (i.e., LP, 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 EUSART.  
22.4.3  
AUTO-WAKE-UP ON BREAK  
During Sleep mode, all clocks to the EUSART are  
suspended. Because of this, the Baud Rate Generator  
is inactive and a proper character reception cannot be  
performed. The Auto-Wake-up feature allows the  
controller to wake-up due to activity on the RX/DT line.  
This feature is available only in Asynchronous mode.  
WUE Bit  
The Auto-Wake-up feature is enabled by setting the  
WUE bit of the BAUDCON register. Once set, the normal  
receive sequence on RX/DT is disabled, and the  
EUSART remains in an Idle state, monitoring for a  
wake-up event independent of the CPU mode. A  
wake-up 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.)  
The wake-up event causes a receive interrupt by  
setting the RCIF bit. The WUE bit is cleared in  
hardware by a rising edge on RX/DT. The interrupt  
condition is then cleared in software by reading the  
RCREG register and discarding its contents.  
To ensure that no actual data is lost, check the RCIDL  
bit to verify that a receive operation is not in process  
before setting the WUE bit. If a receive operation is not  
occurring, the WUE bit may then be set just prior to  
entering the Sleep mode.  
The EUSART module generates an RCIF interrupt  
coincident with the wake-up event. The interrupt is  
generated synchronously to the Q clocks in normal CPU  
operating modes (Figure 22-7), and asynchronously if  
the device is in Sleep mode (Figure 22-8). The interrupt  
condition is cleared by reading the RCREG register.  
The WUE bit is automatically cleared by the low-to-high  
transition on the RX line at the end of the Break. This  
signals to the user that the Break event is over. At this  
point, the EUSART module is in Idle mode waiting to  
receive the next character.

22.4.4  
BREAK CHARACTER SEQUENCE  
22.4.5  
RECEIVING A BREAK CHARACTER  
The EUSART module has the capability of sending the  
special Break character sequences that are required by  
the LIN bus standard. A Break character consists of a  
Start bit, followed by 12 ‘0’ bits and a Stop bit.  
The Enhanced EUSART module can receive a Break  
character in two ways.  
The first method to detect a Break character uses the  
FERR bit of the RCSTA register and the Received data  
as indicated by RCREG. The Baud Rate Generator is  
assumed to have been initialized to the expected baud  
rate.  
To send a Break character, set the SENDB and TXEN  
bits of the TXSTA register. The Break character  
transmission is then initiated by a write to the TXREG.  
The value of data written to TXREG will be ignored and  
all ‘0’s will be transmitted.  
A Break character has been received when;  
• RCIF bit is set  
• FERR bit is set  
• RCREG = 00h  
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).  
The second method uses the Auto-Wake-up feature  
described in Section 22.4.3 “Auto-Wake-up on  
Break”. By enabling this feature, the EUSART will  
sample the next two transitions on RX/DT, cause an  
RCIF interrupt, and receive the next data byte followed  
by another interrupt.  
The TRMT bit of the TXSTA register indicates when the  
transmit operation is active or idle, just as it does during  
normal transmission. See Figure 22-9 for the timing of  
the Break character sequence.  
Note that following a Break character, the user will  
typically want to enable the Auto-Baud Detect feature.  
For both methods, the user can set the ABDEN bit of  
the BAUDCON register before placing the EUSART in  
Sleep mode.  
22.4.4.1  
Break and Sync Transmit Sequence  
The following sequence will start a message frame  
header made up of a Break, followed by an auto-baud  
Sync byte. This sequence is typical of a LIN bus  
master.  
1. Configure the EUSART for the desired mode.  
2. Set the TXEN and SENDB bits to enable the  
Break sequence.  
3. Load the TXREG with a dummy character to  
initiate transmission (the value is ignored).  
4. Write ‘55h’ to TXREG to load the Sync character  
into the transmit FIFO buffer.  
5. After the Break has been sent, the SENDB bit is  
reset by hardware and the Sync character is  
then transmitted.  
When the TXREG becomes empty, as indicated by the  
TXIF, the next data byte can be written to TXREG.

Clock Polarity  
22.5 EUSART Synchronous Mode  
A clock polarity option is provided for Microwire  
compatibility. Clock polarity is selected with the SCKP  
bit of the BAUDCON register. Setting the SCKP bit sets  
the clock Idle state as high. When the SCKP bit is set,  
the data changes on the falling edge of each clock.  
Clearing the SCKP bit sets the Idle state as low. When  
the SCKP bit is cleared, the data changes on the rising  
edge of each clock.  
Synchronous serial communications are typically used  
in systems with a single master and one or more  
slaves. The master device contains the necessary  
circuitry for baud rate generation and supplies the clock  
for all devices in the system. Slave devices can take  
advantage of the master clock by eliminating the  
internal clock generation circuitry.  
There are two signal lines in Synchronous mode: a  
bidirectional data line and a clock line. Slaves use the  
external clock supplied by the master to shift the serial  
data into and out of their respective receive and trans-  
mit shift registers. Since the data line is bidirectional,  
synchronous operation is half-duplex only. Half-duplex  
refers to the fact that master and slave devices can  
receive and transmit data but not both simultaneously.  
The EUSART can operate as either a master or slave  
device.  
22.5.1.3  
Synchronous Master Transmission  
Data is transferred out of the device on the RX/DT pin.  
The RX/DT and TX/CK pin output drivers are automat-  
ically enabled when the EUSART is configured for  
synchronous master transmit operation.  
A transmission is initiated by writing a character to the  
TXREG register. If the TSR still contains all or part of a  
previous character the new character data is held in the  
TXREG until the last bit of the previous character has  
been transmitted. If this is the first character, or the  
previous character has been completely flushed from  
the TSR, the data in the TXREG is immediately  
transferred to the TSR. The transmission of the  
character commences immediately following the  
transfer of the data to the TSR from the TXREG.  
Start and Stop bits are not used in synchronous  
transmissions.  
22.5.1  
SYNCHRONOUS MASTER MODE  
The following bits are used to configure the EUSART  
for Synchronous Master operation:  
• SYNC = 1  
Each data bit changes on the leading edge of the  
master clock and remains valid until the subsequent  
leading clock edge.  
• CSRC = 1  
• SREN = 0(for transmit); SREN = 1(for receive)  
• CREN = 0(for transmit); CREN = 1(for receive)  
• SPEN = 1  
Note:  
The TSR register is not mapped in data  
memory, so it is not available to the user.  
Setting the SYNC bit of the TXSTA register configures  
the device for synchronous operation. Setting the CSRC  
bit of the TXSTA register configures the device as a  
master. Clearing the SREN and CREN bits of the RCSTA  
register ensures that the device is in the Transmit mode,  
otherwise the device will be configured to receive. Setting  
the SPEN bit of the RCSTA register enables the  
EUSART.  
22.5.1.4  
Synchronous Master Transmission  
Set-up:  
1. Initialize the SPBRGH, SPBRGL register pair  
and the BRGH and BRG16 bits to achieve the  
desired baud rate (see Section 22.4 “EUSART  
Baud Rate Generator (BRG)”).  
2. Enable the synchronous master serial port by  
setting bits SYNC, SPEN and CSRC.  
22.5.1.1  
Master Clock  
3. Disable Receive mode by clearing bits SREN  
and CREN.  
Synchronous data transfers use a separate clock line,  
which is synchronous with the data. A device config-  
ured as a master transmits the clock on the TX/CK line.  
The TX/CK pin output driver is automatically enabled  
when the EUSART is configured for synchronous  
transmit or receive operation. Serial data bits change  
on the leading edge to ensure they are valid at the  
trailing edge of each clock. One clock cycle is  
generated for each data bit. Only as many clock cycles  
are generated as there are data bits.  
4. Enable Transmit mode by setting the TXEN bit.  
5. If 9-bit transmission is desired, set the TX9 bit.  
6. If interrupts are desired, set the TXIE bit of the  
PIE1 register and the GIE and PEIE bits of the  
INTCON register.  
7. If 9-bit transmission is selected, the ninth bit  
should be loaded in the TX9D bit.  
8. Start transmission by loading data to the  
TXREG register.

22.5.1.5  
Synchronous Master Reception  
22.5.1.7  
Receive Overrun Error  
Data is received at the RX/DT pin. The RX/DT pin  
output driver is automatically disabled when the  
EUSART is configured for synchronous master receive  
operation.  
The receive FIFO buffer can hold two characters. An  
overrun error will be generated if a third character, in its  
entirety, is received before RCREG is read to access  
the FIFO. When this happens the OERR bit of the  
RCSTA register is set. Previous data in the FIFO will  
not be overwritten. The two characters in the FIFO  
buffer can be read, however, no additional characters  
will be received until the error is cleared. The OERR bit  
can only be cleared by clearing the overrun condition.  
If the overrun error occurred when the SREN bit is set  
and CREN is clear then the error is cleared by reading  
RCREG. If the overrun occurred when the CREN bit is  
set then the error condition is cleared by either clearing  
the CREN bit of the RCSTA register or by clearing the  
SPEN bit which resets the EUSART.  
In Synchronous mode, reception is enabled by setting  
either the Single Receive Enable bit (SREN of the  
RCSTA register) or the Continuous Receive Enable bit  
(CREN of the RCSTA register).  
When SREN is set and CREN is clear, only as many  
clock cycles are generated as there are data bits in a  
single character. The SREN bit is automatically cleared  
at the completion of one character. When CREN is set,  
clocks are continuously generated until CREN is  
cleared. If CREN is cleared in the middle of a character  
the CK clock stops immediately and the partial charac-  
ter is discarded. If SREN and CREN are both set, then  
SREN is cleared at the completion of the first character  
and CREN takes precedence.  
22.5.1.8  
Receiving 9-bit Characters  
The EUSART supports 9-bit character reception. When  
the RX9 bit of the RCSTA register is set the EUSART  
will shift 9-bits into the RSR for each character  
received. The RX9D bit of the RCSTA register is the  
ninth, and Most Significant, data bit of the top unread  
character in the receive FIFO. When reading 9-bit data  
from the receive FIFO buffer, the RX9D data bit must  
be read before reading the eight Least Significant bits  
from the RCREG.  
To initiate reception, set either SREN or CREN. Data is  
sampled at the RX/DT pin on the trailing edge of the  
TX/CK clock pin and is shifted into the Receive Shift  
Register (RSR). When a complete character is  
received into the RSR, the RCIF bit is set and the  
character is automatically transferred to the two  
character receive FIFO. The Least Significant eight bits  
of the top character in the receive FIFO are available in  
RCREG. The RCIF bit remains set as long as there are  
unread characters in the receive FIFO.  
22.5.1.9  
Synchronous Master Reception  
Set-up:  
Note:  
If the RX/DT function is on an analog pin,  
the corresponding ANSEL bit must be  
cleared for the receiver to function.  
1. Initialize the SPBRGH, SPBRGL register pair for  
the appropriate baud rate. Set or clear the  
BRGH and BRG16 bits, as required, to achieve  
the desired baud rate.  
22.5.1.6  
Slave Clock  
2. Clear the ANSEL bit for the RX pin (if applicable).  
Synchronous data transfers use a separate clock line,  
which is synchronous with the data. A device configured  
as a slave receives the clock on the TX/CK line. The  
TX/CK pin output driver is automatically disabled when  
the device is configured for synchronous slave transmit  
or receive operation. Serial data bits change on the  
leading edge to ensure they are valid at the trailing edge  
of each clock. One data bit is transferred for each clock  
cycle. Only as many clock cycles should be received as  
there are data bits.  
3. Enable the synchronous master serial port by  
setting bits SYNC, SPEN and CSRC.  
4. Ensure bits CREN and SREN are clear.  
5. If interrupts are desired, set the RCIE bit of the  
PIE1 register and the GIE and PEIE bits of the  
INTCON register.  
6. If 9-bit reception is desired, set bit RX9.  
7. Start reception by setting the SREN bit or for  
continuous reception, set the CREN bit.  
8. Interrupt flag bit RCIF will be set when reception  
of a character is complete. An interrupt will be  
generated if the enable bit RCIE was set.  
Note:  
If the device is configured as a slave and  
the TX/CK function is on an analog pin, the  
corresponding ANSEL bit must be  
cleared.  
9. Read the RCSTA register to get the ninth bit (if  
enabled) and determine if any error occurred  
during reception.  
10. Read the 8-bit received data by reading the  
RCREG register.  
11. If an overrun error occurs, clear the error by  
either clearing the CREN bit of the RCSTA  
register or by clearing the SPEN bit which resets  
the EUSART.

If two words are written to the TXREG and then the  
SLEEPinstruction is executed, the following will occur:  
22.5.2  
SYNCHRONOUS SLAVE MODE  
The following bits are used to configure the EUSART  
for synchronous slave operation:  
1. The first character will immediately transfer to  
the TSR register and transmit.  
• SYNC = 1  
2. The second word will remain in the TXREG  
register.  
• CSRC = 0  
• SREN = 0(for transmit); SREN = 1(for receive)  
• CREN = 0(for transmit); CREN = 1(for receive)  
• SPEN = 1  
3. The TXIF bit will not be set.  
4. After the first character has been shifted out of  
TSR, the TXREG register will transfer the second  
character to the TSR and the TXIF bit will now be  
set.  
Setting the SYNC bit of the TXSTA register configures  
the device for synchronous operation. Clearing the  
CSRC bit of the TXSTA register configures the device as  
a slave. Clearing the SREN and CREN bits of the RCSTA  
register ensures that the device is in the Transmit mode,  
otherwise the device will be configured to receive. Setting  
the SPEN bit of the RCSTA register enables the  
EUSART.  
5. If the PEIE and TXIE bits are set, the interrupt  
will wake the device from Sleep and execute the  
next instruction. If the GIE bit is also set, the

SYNCHRONOUS TRANSMIT  
DURING SLEEP  
22.6 EUSART Operation During Sleep  
The EUSART will remain active during Sleep only in the  
Synchronous Slave mode. All other modes require the  
system clock and therefore cannot generate the  
necessary signals to run the Transmit or Receive Shift  
registers during Sleep.  
To transmit during Sleep, all the following conditions  
must be met before entering Sleep mode:  
• RCSTA and TXSTA Control registers must be  
configured for Synchronous Slave Transmission  
(see Section 22.5.2.2 “Synchronous Slave  
Transmission Set-up:”).  
Synchronous Slave mode uses an externally generated  
clock to run the Transmit and Receive Shift registers.  
The TXIF interrupt flag must be cleared by writing  
the output data to the TXREG, thereby filling the  
TSR and transmit buffer.  
22.6.1  
SYNCHRONOUS RECEIVE DURING  
SLEEP  
• If interrupts are desired, set the TXIE bit of the  
PIE1 register and the PEIE bit of the INTCON  
register.  
To receive during Sleep, all the following conditions  
must be met before entering Sleep mode:  
• RCSTA and TXSTA Control registers must be  
configured for Synchronous Slave Reception (see  
Section 22.5.2.4 “Synchronous Slave  
Reception Set-up:”).  
• Interrupt enable bits TXIE of the PIE1 register and  
PEIE of the INTCON register must set.  
Upon entering Sleep mode, the device will be ready to  
accept clocks on TX/CK pin and transmit data on the  
RX/DT pin. When the data word in the TSR has been  
completely clocked out by the external device, the  
pending byte in the TXREG will transfer to the TSR and  
the TXIF flag will be set. Thereby, waking the processor  
from Sleep. At this point, the TXREG is available to  
accept another character for transmission, which will  
clear the TXIF flag.  
• If interrupts are desired, set the RCIE bit of the  
PIE1 register and the GIE and PEIE bits of the  
INTCON register.  
• The RCIF interrupt flag must be cleared by read-  
ing RCREG to unload any pending characters in  
the receive buffer.  
Upon entering Sleep mode, the device will be ready to  
accept data and clocks on the RX/DT and TX/CK pins,  
respectively. When the data word has been completely  
clocked in by the external device, the RCIF interrupt  
flag bit of the PIR1 register will be set. Thereby, waking  
the processor from Sleep.  
Upon waking from Sleep, the instruction following the  
SLEEP instruction will be executed. If the Global  
Interrupt Enable (GIE) bit is also set then the Interrupt  
Service Routine at address 0004h will be called.  
Upon waking from Sleep, the instruction following the  
SLEEP instruction will be executed. If the Global  
Interrupt Enable (GIE) bit of the INTCON register is  
also set, then the Interrupt Service Routine at address  
004h will be called.

23.2 Low-Voltage Programming Entry  
Mode  
23.0 IN-CIRCUIT SERIAL  
PROGRAMMING™ (ICSP™)  
The Low-Voltage Programming Entry mode allows the  
PIC16(L)F151X devices to be programmed using VDD  
only, without high voltage. When the LVP bit of  
Configuration Words is set to ‘1’, the low-voltage ICSP  
programming entry is enabled. To disable the  
Low-Voltage ICSP mode, the LVP bit must be  
programmed to ‘0’.  
ICSP™ programming allows customers to manufacture  
circuit boards with unprogrammed devices. Programming  
can be done after the assembly process allowing the  
device to be programmed with the most recent firmware  
or a custom firmware. Five pins are needed for ICSP™  
programming:  
• ICSPCLK  
• ICSPDAT  
• MCLR/VPP  
• VDD  
Entry into the Low-Voltage Programming Entry mode  
requires the following steps:  
1. MCLR is brought to VIL.  
2.  
A
32-bit key sequence is presented on  
• VSS  
ICSPDAT, while clocking ICSPCLK.  
In Program/Verify mode the program memory, user IDs  
and the Configuration Words are programmed through  
serial communications. The ICSPDAT pin is  
bidirectional I/O used for transferring the serial data and  
the ICSPCLK pin is the clock input. For more information  
on ICSP™ refer to the “PIC16(L)F151X/152X Memory  
Programming Specification” (DS41442).  
Once the key sequence is complete, MCLR must be  
held at VIL for as long as Program/Verify mode is to be  
maintained.  
a
If low-voltage programming is enabled (LVP = 1), the  
MCLR Reset function is automatically enabled and  
cannot be disabled. See Section 6.3 “Low-Power  
Brown-out Reset (LPBOR)” for more information.  
23.1 High-Voltage Programming Entry  
Mode  
The LVP bit can only be reprogrammed to ‘0’ by using  
the High-Voltage Programming mode.  
The device is placed into High-Voltage Programming  
Entry mode by holding the ICSPCLK and ICSPDAT  
pins low then raising the voltage on MCLR/VPP to VIHH.  
23.3 Common Programming Interfaces  
Connection to a target device is typically done through  
an ICSP™ header. A commonly found connector on  
development tools is the RJ-11 in the 6P6C (6-pin, 6  
connector) configuration. See Figure 23-1.

Another connector often found in use with the PICkit™  
programmers is a standard 6-pin header with 0.1 inch  
spacing. Refer to Figure 23-2.

For additional interface recommendations, refer to your  
specific device programmer manual prior to PCB  
design.  
It is recommended that isolation devices be used to  
separate the programming pins from other circuitry.  
The type of isolation is highly dependent on the specific  
application and may include devices such as resistors,  
diodes, or even jumpers. See Figure 23-3 for more  
information.

24.1 Read-Modify-Write Operations  
24.0 INSTRUCTION SET SUMMARY  
Any instruction that specifies a file register as part of  
the instruction performs a Read-Modify-Write (R-M-W)  
operation. The register is read, the data is modified,  
and the result is stored according to either the instruc-  
tion, or the destination designator ‘d’. A read operation  
is performed on a register even if the instruction writes  
to that register.  
Each instruction is a 14-bit word containing the  
operation code (opcode) and all required operands.  
The opcodes are broken into three broad categories.  
• Byte Oriented  
• Bit Oriented  
• Literal and Control  
The literal and control category contains the most var-  
ied instruction word format.  
TABLE 24-1: OPCODE FIELD  
DESCRIPTIONS  
Table 24-3 lists the instructions recognized by the  
MPASMTM assembler.  
Field  
Description  
All instructions are executed within a single instruction  
cycle, with the following exceptions, which may take  
two or three cycles:  
f
W
b
Register file address (0x00 to 0x7F)  
Working register (accumulator)  
Bit address within an 8-bit file register  
Literal field, constant data or label  
• Subroutine takes two cycles (CALL, CALLW)  
• Returns from interrupts or subroutines take two  
cycles (RETURN, RETLW, RETFIE)  
k
x
Don’t care location (= 0or 1).  
• Program branching takes two cycles (GOTO, BRA,  
BRW, BTFSS, BTFSC, DECFSZ, INCSFZ)  
• One additional instruction cycle will be used when  
any instruction references an indirect file register  
and the file select register is pointing to program  
memory.  
The assembler will generate code with x = 0.  
It is the recommended form of use for  
compatibility with all Microchip software tools.  
d
Destination select; d = 0: store result in W,  
d = 1: store result in file register f.  
Default is d = 1.  
One instruction cycle consists of four oscillator cycles;  
for an oscillator frequency of 4 MHz, this gives a  
nominal instruction execution rate of 1 MHz.  
n
FSR or INDF number. (0-1)  
mm  
Pre-post increment-decrement mode  
selection  
All instruction examples use the format ‘0xhh’ to  
represent a hexadecimal number, where ‘h’ signifies a  
hexadecimal digit.

These parameters are characterized but not tested.  
Data in “Typ” column is at 3.0V, 25°C unless otherwise stated. These parameters are for design guidance only and are not  
tested.  
Note 1: 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 disabled.  
2: The supply current is mainly a function of the operating voltage and frequency. Other factors, such as I/O pin loading  
and switching rate, oscillator type, internal code execution pattern and temperature, also have an impact on the current  
consumption.  
3: For RC oscillator configurations, current through REXT is not included. The current through the resistor can be extended  
by the formula IR = VDD/2REXT (mA) with REXT in k

These parameters are characterized but not tested.  
Data in “Typ” column is at 3.0V, 25°C unless otherwise stated. These parameters are for design guidance only and are  
not tested.  
Note 1: The peripheral current is the sum of the base IDD or IPD and the additional current consumed when this peripheral is  
enabled. The peripheral current can be determined by subtracting the base IDD or IPD current from this limit. Max  
values should be used when calculating total current consumption.  
2: 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.  
3: A/D oscillator source is FRC.  
4: Specification for PIC16F1512/3 devices assumes that Low-Power Sleep mode is selected, when available, via the  
VREGCON register (see Section 8.2.2 “Peripheral Usage in Sleep” and Register 8-1).

Note 1: In RC oscillator configuration, the OSC1/CLKIN pin is a Schmitt Trigger input. It is not recommended to use an external  
clock in RC mode.  
2: Negative current is defined as current sourced by the pin.  
3: 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.

27.2 MPLAB C Compilers for Various  
Device Families  
27.5 MPLINK Object Linker/  
MPLIB Object Librarian  
The MPLAB C Compiler code development systems  
are complete ANSI C compilers for Microchip’s PIC18,  
PIC24 and PIC32 families of microcontrollers and the  
dsPIC30 and dsPIC33 families of digital signal control-  
lers. These compilers provide powerful integration  
capabilities, superior code optimization and ease of  
use.  
The MPLINK Object Linker combines relocatable  
objects created by the MPASM Assembler and the  
MPLAB C18 C Compiler. It can link relocatable objects  
from precompiled libraries, using directives from a  
linker script.  
The MPLIB Object Librarian manages the creation and  
modification of library files of precompiled 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.  
For easy source level debugging, the compilers provide  
symbol information that is optimized to the MPLAB IDE  
debugger.  
27.3 HI-TECH C for Various Device  
Families

• Efficient linking of single libraries instead of many  
smaller files  
The HI-TECH C Compiler code development systems  
are complete ANSI C compilers for Microchip’s PIC  
family of microcontrollers and the dsPIC family of digital  
signal controllers. These compilers provide powerful  
integration capabilities, omniscient code generation  
and ease of use.  
• Enhanced code maintainability by grouping  
related modules together  
• Flexible creation of libraries with easy module  
listing, replacement, deletion and extraction  
27.6 MPLAB Assembler, Linker and  
Librarian for Various Device  
Families  
For easy source level debugging, the compilers provide  
symbol information that is optimized to the MPLAB IDE  
debugger.  
The compilers include a macro assembler, linker, pre-  
processor, and one-step driver, and can run on multiple  
platforms.  
MPLAB Assembler produces relocatable machine  
code from symbolic assembly language for PIC24,  
PIC32 and dsPIC devices. MPLAB C Compiler uses  
the assembler to produce its object file. The assembler  
generates relocatable object files that can then be  
archived or linked with other relocatable object files and  
archives to create an executable file. Notable features  
of the assembler include:  
27.4 MPASM Assembler  
The MPASM Assembler is a full-featured, universal  
macro assembler for PIC10/12/16/18 MCUs.  
The MPASM Assembler generates relocatable object  
files for the MPLINK Object Linker, Intel® standard HEX  
files, MAP files to detail memory usage and symbol  
reference, absolute LST files that contain source lines  
and generated machine code and COFF files for  
debugging.  
• Support for the entire device instruction set  
• Support for fixed-point and floating-point data  
• Command line interface  
• Rich directive set  
• Flexible macro language  
The MPASM Assembler features include:

a comprehensive stimulus controller. Registers can be  
logged to files for further run-time analysis. The trace  
buffer and logic analyzer display extend the power of  
the simulator to record and track program execution,  
actions on I/O, most peripherals and internal registers.  
MPLAB ICD 3 In-Circuit Debugger System is Micro-  
chip's most cost effective high-speed hardware  
debugger/programmer for Microchip Flash Digital Sig-  
nal Controller (DSC) and microcontroller (MCU)  
devices. It debugs and programs PIC® Flash microcon-  
trollers and dsPIC® DSCs with the powerful, yet easy-
