PIC18F2525/2620/4525/4620
1.0 DEVICE OVERVIEW
This docu ment contains device -sp ec ifi c info rm atio n for
the following devices:
This family offers the advantages of all PIC18
microcontrollers – namely, high computational perfor-
mance at an economical price – with the addition of
high-endurance, Enhanced Flash program memory.
On top of these features, the PIC18F2525/2620/4525/
4620 family introduces design enhancements that
make these microcontrollers a logical choice for many
high-performance, power sensitive applications.
1.1 New Core Features
1.1.1 nanoWatt TECHNOLOGY
All of the devices in the PIC18F2525/2620/4525/4620
family incorporate a range of features that can signifi-
cantly reduce power consumption during operation.
Key items include:
Alternate Run Modes: By clo cking the controller
from the Timer1 source or the internal oscillator
block, power consumption during code execution
can be reduced by as much as 90%.
Multiple Idle Modes: The controller can also run
with its CPU core disabled but the peripherals still
active . In these st ates, powe r consumptio n can be
reduced even further, to as little as 4%, of normal
operation requirements.
On-the-Fly Mode Switching: The power-
manage d mode s a re invo ked b y user code d urin g
operation, allowing the user to incorporate
power-saving ideas into their application’s
software design.
Low Consumption in Key Modules: The
power requirements for both Timer1 and the
Watchdog Timer are min imiz ed. See
Section 26.0 “Electrical Characteristics” for
values.
1.1.2 MULTIPLE OSCILLATOR OPTIONS
AND FEATURES
All of the devices in the PIC18F2525/2620/4525/4620
family offer ten different oscillator options, allowing
users a wide range o f choices i n developin g applica tion
hardware. These include:
Four Crystal modes, using crystals or ceramic
resonators
Two External Clock modes, offering the option of
using two pins (oscillator input and a divide-by-4
clock output) or one pin (oscillator input, with the
second pin reassigned as general I/O)
Two External RC Oscillator modes with the same
pin options as the External Clock modes
An internal oscillator block which provides
an 8 MHz clock and an INTRC source
(approximately 31 kHz), as well as a range of
6 user-select a ble clock frequen ci es , betw een
125 kHz to 4 MHz, for a total of 8 clock frequencies.
This o pt io n frees th e two oscillator pi ns fo r use as
additional general purpose I/O.
A Phase Lock Loop (PLL) frequency multiplier,
available to both the High-Speed Crystal and Inter-
nal Oscillator m odes, which allows clock speeds of
up to 40 MHz. Used with the internal oscillator, the
PLL gives users a compl ete selec tion of clock
speeds, from 31 kHz to 32 MHz – all without using
an external crysta l or clock circuit.
Besides its availability as a clock source, the internal
oscill ato r blo ck pro vid es a s t ab le reference so urc e th at
gives the family additional features for robust
operation:
Fail-Safe Clock Monitor: This option consta ntly
monitors the main c lock source against a reference
signal provided by the internal os cillator. If a clock
failure occurs, the controller is sw itche d to the
internal oscillator b lock, all owing for continued
low-speed operation or a safe appl ication
shutdown.
Two-Speed S tart-up: This option allows the
internal oscillator to serve as the clock source
from Power-on Reset , or wake-up from Sleep
mode, until the primary clock source is available.

1.2 Oth er Special Features
Memory Endurance: The Enhanced Flash cells
for both program memory and data EEPROM are
rated to last for many thousands of erase/write
cycles – up to 100,000 for program memory and
1,000,000 for EEPROM. Data retention without
refresh is conservatively estimated to be greater
than 40 year s.
Self-Programmability: These devices can write
to their own program memory spaces und er inter-
nal sof tware control. By using a bo otloader routine
located in the protected Boot Block at the top of
program memory, it becomes possible to create
an application that can update itself in the field.
Extended Instruction Set: The PIC18F2525/
2620/4525/4620 family introduces an opt ional
extens ion to the PIC18 instruc tion set, which ad ds
8 new instructions and an Indexed Addressing
mode. This extension, enabled as a device con-
figuration option, has been specifically designed
to optimize re-entrant application code originally
developed in high-level languages, such as C.
Enhanced CCP Module: In PWM mode, this
module provides 1, 2 or 4 modulated outputs for
controlling half-bridge and full-bridge drivers.
Other featu res inc lu de auto - sh ut d ow n, for
disabl ing PWM output s on interrup t or other selec t
conditions and auto-restart, to reactivate outputs
once the condition has cleared.
Enhanced Addressable USART: This serial
communication module is capable of standard
RS-232 operation an d provides support for th e LIN
bus protocol. Other enhancements include
automatic baud rate detection and a 16-bit Baud
Rate Genera tor for improved res olution. Whe n the
microcontroller is using the internal oscillator
block, the EUSART provides stable operation for
applications that talk to the outside world without
using an external crystal (or its accompanying
power requirement).
10-Bit A/D Converter: This module incorporates
programmable acquisition time, allowing for a
channel to be selected and a conversion to be
initiated withou t waiting for a sa mpling perio d and
thus, reducing code overhead.
Extended Watchdog Timer (WDT): This
enhanc ed vers ion in corpora tes a 1 6-bit pre scale r,
allow ing a n exte nded time-o ut rang e that is s ta ble
across operating voltage and temperature. See
Section 26.0 “Electrical Characteristics” for
time-out periods.
1.3 Details on Individual Family
Members
Devices in the PIC18F 2525/2620/45 25/4620 famil y are
available in 28-pin and 40/44-pin packages. Block
diagrams for the two groups are shown in Figure 1-1
and Figure 1-2.
The devices are differentiated from each other in five
ways:
1. Flash program memory (48 Kbytes for
PIC18FX525 devices, 64 Kbytes for
PIC18FX6 20 dev ices).
2. A/D channels (10 for 28-pin devices, 13 for
40/44-pin devices).
3. I/O ports (3 bidirectio nal ports on 28 -pin devices,
5 bidirectional ports on 40/44-pin devices).
4. CCP and Enhanced CCP implementation
(28-pin devices have 2 standard CCP
m od ules, 40/44-pin devices have one standard
CCP module and one ECCP module).
5. Parallel Slave Port (present only on 40/44-pin
devices).
All other feature s for devi ces in th is fami ly are ide ntical.
These are summarized in Table 1-1.
The pinouts for all devices are listed in Table 1-2 and
Table 1-3.
Like all Microchip PIC18 devices, members of the
PIC18F2525/2620/4525/4620 family are available as
both standard and low-voltage devices. Standard
device s with En hanced Fl ash memory, designate d with
an “F” in the part number (such as PIC18F2620),
accom modate an operati ng VDD ra nge of 4.2V to 5. 5V.
Low-voltage parts, designated by “LF” (such as
PIC18LF2620), function over an extended VDD range
of 2.0V to 5.5V.

PIC18F2525/2620/4525/4620 devices can be operated
in ten different oscillator modes. The user can program
the Configuration bits, FOSC3:FOSC0, in Configuration
Register 1H to select one of these ten m odes:

OSC2 pins to establish oscillation. Figure 2-1 shows
the pin connections.
The oscillator design requires the use of a parallel cut
crystal.

2.4 RC Oscillator
For timing insensitive applications, the “RC” and
“RCIO” device options offer additional cost savings.
The actual oscillator frequency is a function of several
factors:
supply voltage
values of the external resistor (REXT) and
capacitor (CEXT)
operating temperature
Given the same device, operating voltag e and tempera-
ture and component values, there will also be unit-to-unit
frequency variations. Thes e are due to factors such as:
normal manufacturing variation
difference in lead frame capacitance between
package types (especially for low CEXT values)
variations within the tolerance of lim its of REXT
and CEXT
In the RC Oscillator mode, the oscillator frequency
divided by 4 is available on the OSC2 pin. This signal
may be u s ed for t est pu r pos es or t o sy nc hr o niz e o t he r
logic. Figure 2-5 shows how the R/C combination is
connected.
FIGURE 2-5: RC OSCILLATOR MODE
The RCIO Oscillator mode (Figure 2-6) functions like
the RC mode, except that the OSC2 pin becomes an
additional general purpose I/O pin. The I/O pin
becomes bit 6 of PORTA (RA6).
FIGURE 2-6: RCIO OSCILLATOR MODE
2.5 PLL Frequency Multiplier
A Phase Locked Loop (PLL) circuit is provided as an
option for users who wish to use a lower frequency
oscillator circuit or to clock the device up to its highest
rated frequency from a crystal oscillator. This may be
useful for customers who are concerned with EMI due
to high-frequency crystals or users who require higher
clock speeds from an internal oscillator.
2.5.1 HSPLL OSCILLATOR MODE
The HSPLL mode makes use of the HS Oscillator
mode for frequencies up to 10 MHz. A PLL then multi-
plies th e osci llator ou tpu t frequen cy by 4 to produ ce an
internal clock frequency up to 40 MHz. The PLLEN bit
is no t availab le in this oscillato r mode.
The PLL is only available to the crystal oscillator when
the FOSC3 :FOSC0 Config uration bits are program med
for HSPLL mode (= 0110).

2.6 Internal Oscillator Block
The PIC18F2525/2620/4525/4620 devices include an
internal oscillator block which generates two different
clock signals; either can be used as the microcontroller’s
clock source. This may eliminate the need for external
oscillator circuit s on the O SC1 and/or OSC2 pins .
The main output (INTOSC) is an 8 MHz clock source,
which can be used to directly drive the device clock. It
also drives a postscaler, which can provide a range of
clock frequencies from 31 kHz to 4 MHz. The INTOSC
output is enabled when a cl ock frequency from 125 kHz
to 8 MHz is selected.
The other clock source is the Internal RC oscillator
(INTRC), which provides a nominal 31 kHz output.
INTRC is enabled if it is selected as the device clock
sour ce; it is also ena bled automatic ally when any of the
following are enabled:
Power-up Timer
Fail-Safe Clock Monitor
Watchdog Timer
Two-Speed Start-up
These features are discussed in greater detail in
Section 23.0 “Special Features of the CPU”.
The clock source frequency (INTOSC direct, INTRC
direct or INTOSC postscaler) is selected by configuring
the IRCF bits of the OSCCON register (page 30).
2.6.1 INTIO MODES
Using the internal oscillator as the clock source
eliminates the need for up to two external oscillator
pins, which can then be used for digital I/O. T wo distinct
configurations are available:
In INTIO1 mode, the OSC2 pin outputs FOSC/4,
while OSC1 fu nc tio ns as RA 7 fo r dig it a l input and
output.
In INTIO2 mode, OSC1 functions as RA7 and
OSC2 functions as RA6, both for digital input and
output.
2.6.2 INTOSC OUTPUT FREQUENCY
The internal oscillator block is calibrated at the factory
to produce an INTOSC output frequency of 8.0 MHz.
The INTRC oscillator operates independently of the
INTOSC source. Any changes in INTOSC across
voltage and temperature are not necessarily reflected
by changes in INTRC and vice versa.
2.6.3 OSCTUNE REGISTER
The internal oscillator’s output has been calibrated at
the factory but can be adjusted in the user’s applica-
tion . This is don e by writin g to the OSCT UNE regist er
(Register 2-1). The tuning sensitivity is constant
throughout the tuning range.
When the O SC TUN E reg is ter is mo di fied , the IN T O SC
frequency will begin shifting to the new frequency. The
INTRC clock will reach the new frequency within
8 clock cycles (approximately 8 * 32 μs=256μs). T he
INTOSC clock will stabilize within 1 ms. Code execu-
tion continues during this shift. There is no indication
that the shift has occurred.
The OSCTUNE register also implements the INTSRC
and PLLEN bits, which control certain features of the
internal oscillator block. The INTSRC bit allows users
to select which internal oscillator provides the clock
source when the 31 kHz frequency option is selected.
This is covered in greater detail in Section 2.7.1
“Oscillator Control Register”.
The PLLEN bit controls the operation of the frequency
multiplier, PLL, in internal oscillator modes.
2.6.4 PLL IN INTOSC MODES
The 4x frequency multiplier can be used with the
internal oscillator block to produce faster device clock
speeds than are normally possible with an internal
oscillator. When enabled, the PLL produces a clock
speed of up to 32 MHz.
Unlike HSPLL mode, the PLL is controlled through
software. The control bit, PLLEN (OSCTUNE<6>), is
used to enable or disable its operation.
The PLL is available when the device is configured to
use the internal oscillator block as its primary clock
source (FOSC3:FOSC0 = 1001 or 1000). Additionally,
the PLL will only function when the selected output fre-
quency is either 4 MHz or 8 MHz (OSCCON<6:4> = 111
or 110). If both of these conditions are not met, the PLL
is disabled.
The PLLEN control bit is only functional in those inter-
nal oscillator modes where the PLL is available. In all
other modes, it is forced to ‘0’ and is effectively
unavailable.
2.6.5 INTOSC FREQUENCY DRIFT
The factory calibrates the internal oscillator block
output (INTOSC) for 8 MHz. However, this frequency
may drift as VDD or temperature changes, which can
affect the controller operation in a variety of ways. It is
possible to adjust the INTOSC frequency by modifying
the value in the OSCTUNE register. This has no effect
on the INTRC clock source frequency.
Tuning the INTOSC source requires knowing when to
make the adjustment, in which direction it should be
made, and in some cases, how large a change is
needed. Three compensation techniques are
discussed in Section 2.6.5.1 “Compensating with
the EUSART”, Section 2.6.5.2 “Compensating with
the Timers” and Section 2.6.5.3 “Compensating
with the CCP Module in Capture Mode”, but other
techniques may be used.
© 2008 Microchip Technology Inc. DS39626E-page 27
PIC18F2525/2620/4525/4620
2.6.5.1 Compensating with the EUSART
An adjustment may be required when the EUSART
begins to genera te frami ng errors or rec eive s data w ith
errors while in Asynchronous mode. Framing errors
indicate that the device clock frequency is too high; to
adjust for this, decrement the value in OSCTUNE to
reduce the clock frequency. On the other hand, errors
in data may suggest that the clock speed is too low; to
compensate, increment OSCTUNE to increase the
clock frequency.
2.6.5.2 Compensating with the Timers
This technique compares device clock speed to some
reference clock. Two timers may be used; one timer is
clocked by the peripheral clock, while the other is
clocked by a fixed reference source, such as the
Tim er1 oscil lator.
Both timers are cleared, but the timer clocked by the
reference generates interrupts. When an interrupt
occurs, the internally clocked timer is read and both
timers are cleared. If the internally clocked timer value
is greater than expected, then the internal oscillator
bloc k is r unni ng too fast. To adjus t for t his, decr ement
the OSCTUNE register.
2.6.5.3 Compensating with the CCP Module
in Capture Mode
A CCP module can use free-running Timer1 (or
Timer 3), cl oc ke d by th e internal oscil la tor block and an
external event with a known period (i.e., AC power
frequenc y). The ti me of the first ev ent is c aptured in the
CCPRxH:CCPRxL registers and is recorded for use
later. When the second event causes a capture, the
time of the firs t eve nt is su btra cte d from the time of the
second event. Since the period of the external event is
known, the time difference between events can be
calculated.
If the measured time is much greater than the
calculated time, the internal oscillator block is running
too fast; to compensate, decrement the OSCTUNE
register. If the measured time is much less than the
calculated time, the internal oscillator block is running
too slow; to compensate, increment the OSCTUNE
register.

2.7 Clock Sources and Oscillator
Switching
Like previous PIC18 devices, the PIC18F2525/2620/
4525/4620 family includes a feature that allows the
device clock source to be switched from the main
oscillator to an alternate, low-frequency clock source.
PIC18F2525/2620/4525/4620 devices offer two alternate
clock sources. When an alternate clock source is enabled,
the various power-managed operating modes are
available.
Essentially, there are three clock sources for these
devices:
Primary oscillators
Secondary oscillators
Internal oscillator block
The primary oscillators include the External Crystal
and Resonator modes, the External RC modes, the
External Clock modes and the internal oscillator block.
The particular mode is defined by the FOSC3:FOSC0
Configuration bits. The details of these modes are
covered earlier in this chapter.
The secondary oscillato rs are those external sources
not connected to the OSC1 or OSC2 pins. These
sources may continue to operate even after the
controller is placed in a power-managed mode.
PIC18F2 525 /26 20/4 52 5/46 20 d ev ic es o f fer the T i mer1
oscill ator as a second ary oscilla tor . This oscill ator , in all
power-managed modes, is often the time base for
function s suc h as a Rea l-Ti me Clock (RTC ) .
Most often, a 32.768 kHz watch crystal is connected
between the RC0/T1OSO/T13CKI and RC1/T1OSI
pins. Like the LP Oscillator mode circuit, loading
capacitors are also connected from each pin to ground.
The Timer1 oscillator is discussed in greater detail in
Section 12.3 “Timer1 Oscillator”.
In additio n to being a primary clock source, the internal
oscillator block is available as a power-managed
mode cl oc k s ourc e. The INTRC source is also us ed as

2.7.1 OSCIL LATOR CONTROL REGISTE R
The OSCCON register (Register 2-2) controls several
aspects of the device clock’s operation, both in full-power
operation and in power-managed modes.
The System Clock Select bits, SCS1:SCS0, select the
clock source. The available clock sources are the
primary clock (defined by the FOSC3:FOSC0 Configu-
ration bits), the secondary clock (Timer1 oscillator) and
the internal oscillator block. The clock source changes
immediately after one or more of the bits is written to,
following a brief clock transition interval. The SCS bits
are cleared on all forms of Reset.
The Internal Oscillator Frequency Select bits
(IRCF2:IRCF0) select the frequency output of the
internal oscillator block to drive the device clock. The
choices are the INTRC source, the INTOSC source
(8 MHz) or one of the frequencies derived from the
INTOSC postscaler (31.25 kHz to 4 MHz). If the
internal oscillator block is supplying the device clock,
changing the states of these bits will have an immedi-
ate change on the internal oscillator’s output. On
device Resets, the default output frequency of the
internal oscillator block is set at 1 MHz.
When a nominal ou tput frequenc y of 31 kHz is sele cted
(IRCF2:IRCF0 = 000), users may choose which inter-
nal oscillator acts as the source. This is done with the
INTSRC bit in the OSCTUNE register (OSCTUNE<7>).
Setting this bit selects INTOSC as a 31.25 kHz clock
source by enabling the divide-by-256 output of the
INTOSC postscaler. Clearing INTSRC selects INTRC
(nominally 31 kHz) as the clock source.
This option allows users to select the tunable and more
precise INTOSC as a clock source, while maintaining
power sa vings with a very lo w clock speed. R egardless
of the setting of INTSRC, INTRC always remains the
clock source for features such as the Watchdog Timer
and the Fail-Safe Clock Monitor.
The OSTS, IO FS an d T1 R UN bits indic ate whic h cl oc k
source is currently providing the device clock. The
OSTS bit indicates that the Oscillator Start-up Timer
(OST) has timed out and the prim ary cl oc k i s pro vidin g
the device clock in primary clock modes. The IOFS bit
indicates when the internal oscillator block has stabi-
lized and is providing the device clock in RC Clock
modes. The T1RUN bit (T1CON<6>) indicates when
the Timer1 oscillator is providing the device clock in
secondary clock modes. In power-managed modes,
only one of these three bits will be set at any time. If
none of these bits are set, the INTRC is providing the
clock or the internal o scillator bloc k has just s tarted and
is not yet stable.
The IDL EN bi t dete rmines if th e dev ice go es in to Slee p
mode or one of the Idle modes when the SLEEP
instruction is executed.
The use of the flag and control bits in the OSCCON
register is discussed in more detail in Section 3.0
“Power -Mana ged Mod es .
2.7.2 OSCILLATOR TRANSITIONS
PIC18F2525/2620/4525/4620 devices contain circuitry
to prevent clock “glitches” when switching between
clock sources . A short p ause in the devic e clock occur s
during the clock switch. The length of this pause is the
sum of two cycles of the old clock source and three to
four cycles of the new clock source. This formula
assumes that the new clock source is stable.
Clock transitions are discussed in greater detail in
Section 3.1.2 “Entering Power-Managed Modes”.
Note 1: The Timer1 oscillator must be enabled to
select the secondary clock source. The
T imer 1 oscillat or is enable d by setting th e
T1OSCEN bit in the T ime r1 Control re gis-
ter (T1CON<3>). If the Timer1 oscillator
is not en abl ed, then any at tem pt to select
a secon dary c loc k source will be ignored.
2: It is recommended that the Timer1
oscillator be operating and stable before
selecting the secondary clock source or a
very long delay may occur while the
Timer1 oscillator starts.

2.8 Effects of Power-Managed Modes
on the Various Clock Sources
When PRI_IDLE mode is selected, the designated
primary oscillator continues to run without interruption.
For all other power-managed modes, the oscillator
using the OSC1 pin is disabled. The OSC1 pin (and
OSC2 pin, if us ed by th e oscillat or) will stop oscil lating.
In secondary clock modes (SEC_RUN and
SEC_IDLE), the Timer1 oscillator is operating and
providing the device clock. The Timer1 oscillator may
also run in all power-managed modes if required to
clock Timer1 or Timer3.
In internal oscillator modes (RC_RUN and RC_IDLE),
the internal oscillator block provides the device clock
source. The 31 kHz INTRC ou tput ca n be used d irectl y
to provide the clock and may be enabled to support
various special features, regardless of the power-
managed mode (see Section 23.2 “Watchdog Timer
(WDT)”, Section 23.3 “Two-Speed Start-up” and
Section 23.4 “Fail-Safe Clock Monitor” for more
informa tion on WDT, Fail-Safe C lo ck M oni tor a nd Two-
Speed Start-up). The INT OSC outp ut at 8 MHz may be
used directly to clock the device or may be divided
down by the postscaler . The INTOSC out put is disabled
if the clock is provided directly from the INTRC output.
If the Sleep mode is selected, all clock sources are
stopped. Since all the transistor switching currents
have been stopped, Sleep mode achieves the lowest
current consumption of the device (only leakage
currents).
Enabling any on-chip feature that will operate during
Sleep w ill increase th e current cons umed during S leep.
The INTRC is required to support WDT operation. The
Timer1 oscillator may be operating to support a Real-
Time Clock. Other features may be operating that do
not require a device clock source (i.e., MSSP slave,
PSP, INTx pins and others). Peripherals that may add
significant current consumption are listed in
Section 26.2 “DC Characteristics”.
2.9 Power-up Delays
Power-up delays are controlled by two tim ers, so that no
external Reset c ircuitry is required for most applications.
The delays ensure that the device is kept in Reset until
the device power supply is stable under normal circum-
stances and the primary clock is operating and stable.
For additional information on power-up delays, see
Section 4.5 “Device Reset Timers”.
The first timer is the Power-up Timer (PWRT), which
provides a fixed delay on power-up (parameter 33,
Table 26-10). It is enabled by clearing (= 0) the
PWRTEN Configuration bit.
The second timer is the Oscillator Start-up Timer
(OST), intended to keep the chip in Reset until the
crystal oscillator is stable (LP, XT and HS modes). The
OST does this by counting 1024 oscillator cycles
before allowing the oscillator to clock the device.
When the HSPLL Oscillator mode is selected, the
device is k ept in Res et for an add itiona l 2 ms, foll owin g
the HS mode OST delay, so the PLL can lock to the
inco mi ng cl ock frequency.
There is a delay of interval, TCSD (parameter 38,
Table 26-10), following POR, while the controller
become s ready to ex ecute instruc tions. This del ay runs
concurrently with any other delays. This may be the
only de lay that occu rs when any of the EC, RC or INTIO
modes are used as the primary clock source.

3.0 POWER-MANAGED MODES
PIC18F2525/2620/4525/4620 devices offer a total of
seven operating modes for more efficient power
management. These modes provide a variety of
options for selective power conservation in applications
where resources may be limited (i.e., battery-powered
devices).
There are three categories of power-managed modes:
Run modes
Idle mo des
Sleep mode
These categories define which portions of the device
are clo cked and some times , what sp eed. The R un and
Idle modes may use any of the three available clock
sources (primary, secondary or internal oscillator
block); the Sleep mode does not use a clock source.
The power-managed modes include several power-
saving features of fered on p reviou s PIC® devic es. On e
is the clock switching feature, offered in other PIC18
devices, allowing the controller to use the Timer1 oscil-
lator in place of the primary oscillator. Also included is
the Sleep mode, offered by all PIC devices, where all
device clocks are stopped.
3.1 Selecti ng Powe r-Managed Modes
Selecting a power-managed mode requires two
decisions: if the CPU is to be clocked or not and the
selection of a clock source. The IDLEN bit
(OSCCON<7>) controls CPU clocking, while the
SCS1:SCS0 bits (OSCCON<1:0>) select the clock
source. The individual modes, bit settings, clock sources
and af fected mod ules are sum mariz ed in Table 3-1.
3.1.1 CLOCK SOURCES
The SCS1: SCS0 bits allow the sele ction of one o f three
clock sources for power-managed modes. They are:
the primary clock, as defined by the
FOSC3:FOSC0 Configuration bits
the secondary clock (the Timer1 oscillator)
the internal oscillator block (for RC modes)
3.1.2 ENTERING POWER-MANAGED
MODES
Switching from one power-managed mode to another
begins by loading the OSCCON register. The
SCS1:SCS0 bi ts select the clock sourc e and determine
which Run or Idle mode is to be used. Changing these
bits causes an immediate switch to the new clock
source, assuming that it is running. The switch may
also be subject to clock transition delays. These are
discussed in Section 3.1.3 “Clock Transitions and
Status Indicators” and subsequent sections.
Entry to the power-managed Idle or Sleep modes is
triggered by the execution of a SLEEP instruction. The
actual mode that results depends on the status of the
IDLEN bit.
Depending on the current mode and the mode being
switched to, a change to a power-managed mode does
not always require setting all of these bits. Many
transitions may be done by changing the oscillator s elect
bits, or changing the IDL EN bit, prior to issuing a SLEEP
instruction. If the IDLEN bit is already configured
correctly, it may only be necessary to perform a SLEEP
instruction to switch to the de sired mod e.

3.1.3 CLOCK TRANSITIONS AND S TATUS
INDICATORS
The length of the transition between clock sources is
the sum of two cyc les of the o ld clo ck so urce an d three
to four cycles of the new clock source. This formula
assumes that the new clock source is stable.
Three bits indicate the current clock source and its
status. They are:
OSTS (OSCCON<3>)
IOFS (OSCCON<2>)
T1RUN (T1CON<6>)
In general, only one of these bits will be set while in a
given power-managed mode. When the OSTS bit is
set, the primary clock is providing the device clock.
When the IOFS bit is set, the INTOSC output is
prov iding a st ab le, 8 MHz cl ock so urce to a di vider th at
actually drives the de vice clock. When the T1RUN b it is
set, the Timer1 oscillator is providing the clock. If none
of these bits are set, then either the INTRC clock
source is cloc ki ng t he device, o r th e IN TOSC so urc e i s
not yet stable.
If the internal osci llator block is configured as the primary
clock source by the FOSC3:FOSC0 Configuration bits,
then both the OSTS and IOFS bits may be set when in
PRI_RUN or PRI_IDLE modes. This indicates that the
primary clock (INTOSC output) is generating a stable,
8 MHz output. Entering another power-managed RC
mode at the same frequency would clear the OSTS bit.
3.1.4 MULTIPLE SLEEP COMMANDS
The power-managed mode that is invoked with the
SLEEP instruction is determined by the setting of the
IDLEN bit at the time the instruction is executed. If
another SLEEP instruction is executed, the device will
enter the power-managed mo de s pecified by IDLEN at
that time. If IDLEN has changed, the device will enter
the new power-managed mode specified by the new
setting.
3.2 Run Modes
In the Run modes, clocks to both the core and
peripherals are active. The difference between these
modes is the clock sour ce .
3.2.1 PRI_RUN MODE
The PRI_RUN mode is the normal, full-power execu-
tion m ode of the mic rocontroll er . This i s also the de fault
mode up on a device R es et unle ss Two-Speed Start-up
is enabled (see Section 23.3 “Two-Speed Start-up”
for det ails). In thi s mode, the O STS bit is se t. The IOFS
bit may be set if the internal oscillator block is the
primary clock source (see Section 2.7.1 “Oscillator
Control Register”).
3.2.2 SEC_RUN MODE
The SEC_RUN mode is the compatible mode to the
“clock switching” feature offered in other PIC18
devices. In this mode, the CPU and peripherals are
clock ed from the T ime r1 oscill ator . This gives us ers the
option of lower power consumption while still using a
high-accuracy clock source.
SEC_RUN mode is entered by setting the SCS1:S CS0
bits to ‘01’. The device clock source is switched to the
Timer1 oscillator (see Figure 3-1), the primary oscillator
is shut down, the T1R UN bit (T1CON<6>) is set a nd the
OSTS bit is cleared.
On transitions from SEC_RUN mode to PRI_RUN, the
peripherals and CPU continue to be clocked from the
Timer1 oscillator while the primary clock is started.
When t he prima ry clo ck becom es r eady, a clock switch
back to the primary clock occurs (see Figure 3-2).
When the clock switch is complete, the T1RUN bit is
cleared, the OSTS bit is set and the primary clock is
providing the clock. The IDLEN and SCS bits are not
affected by the wake-up; the Timer1 oscillator
continues to run.
Note 1: Caution sho uld be used when modifyi ng a
single IR CF bit. I f VDD is less than 3V, it is
possible to select a higher clock speed
than is supported by the low VDD.
Improper device operation may result if
the VDD/FOSC specifications are violated.
2: Executing a SLEEP instruction does not
necessarily place the device into Sleep
mode. It acts as the trigger to place the
controller into either the Sleep mode or
one of the Idle modes, depending on the
setting of the IDLEN bit.
Note: The Timer1 oscillator should already be
running pri or to entering SEC_RUN mod e.
If the T1OSCEN bit is not set when the
SCS1:SCS0 bits are set to ‘01’, entry to
SEC_RUN mode will not occur. If the
Timer1 oscillator is enabled, but not yet
running, dev ice cloc ks wi ll be delayed until
the oscillator has started. In such situa-
tions, initial oscillator operation is far from
stable and unpredictable operation may
result.

FIGURE 3-1: TRANSITION TIMING FOR ENTRY TO SEC_RUN MODE
FIGURE 3-2: TRAN SITION TIMING FROM SEC_RUN MODE TO PRI_RUN MODE (HSPLL)
3.2.3 RC_RUN MODE
In RC_RUN mode, the CPU and peripherals are
clocked from the internal oscillator block using the
INTOSC multiplexer. In this mode, the primary clock is
shut down. When using the INTRC source, this mode
provides the best power conservation of all the Run
modes, while still executing code. It works well for user
applic atio ns wh ich are not highly timin g sen si tiv e or do
not requi re high-speed cloc ks at all times.
If the primary clock source is the intern al oscillator block
(either INTRC or INTOSC), there are no distinguishable
differences between PRI_RUN and RC_RUN modes
during execution. However, a clock switch delay will
occur during entry to and exit from RC_RUN mode.
Therefore, if the primary clock source is the internal
oscillator block, the use of RC_RUN mode is not
recommended.
This mode is entered by setting the SCS1 bit to ‘1’.
Although it is ignored, it is recommended that the SCS0
bit also be cleared; this is to maintain software compat-
ibility with future devices. When the clock source is
switched to the INTOSC multiplexer (see Figure 3-3),
the primary oscillator is shut down and the OSTS bit is
cleared. The IRCF bits may be modified at any time to
immediately change the clock speed.

If the IRCF bits and the INTSRC bit are all clear, the
INTOSC output is not enabled and the IOFS bit will
remain clear; there will be no indication of the current
clock source. The INTRC source is providing the
device clocks.
If the IRCF bits are changed from all clear (thus,
enabling the INTOSC output), or if INTSRC is set, the
IOFS bit becomes set after the INTOSC output
becomes stable. Clocks to the device continue while
the INTOSC source stabilizes after an interval of
TIOBST.
If the IR CF b its were prev io us ly at a no n-z ero v al ue, or
if INTSRC was set before setting SCS1 and the
INTOSC source was already stable, the IOFS bit will
remain set.
On transitions from RC_RUN mode to PRI_RUN mode,
the device continues to be clocked from the INTOSC
multipl exer whil e the primary clo ck is st arted . When th e
primary clock becomes ready, a clock switch to the
primary clock occurs (see Figure 3-4). When the clock
switch is complete, the IOFS bit is cleared, the OSTS
bit is set and the primary clock is providing the device
clock. The ID LEN an d SC S bit s are not af fe cte d by the
switch. The INTRC source will continue to run if either
the WDT or the Fail-Safe Clock Monitor is enabled.

PIC18F2525/2620/4525/4620
3.3 Sleep Mode
The power-managed Sleep mode in the PIC18F2525/
2620/4525/4620 devices is identical to the legacy
Sleep mode offered in all other PIC devices. It is
entered by clearing the IDLEN bit (the default state on
device Reset) and executing the SLEEP instruction.
This shuts down the selected oscillator (Figure 3-5). All
clock source status bits are cleared.
Entering t he Sleep mode from any other mode does n ot
require a clock switch. This is because no clocks are
needed once the controller has entered Sleep. If the
WDT is selected, the INTRC source will continue to
operate. If the Timer1 oscillator is enabled, it will also
continue to run.
When a wake even t occurs i n Sleep mo de (by int errupt,
Reset or WDT time-o ut), the device will not be cloc ke d
until the clock source selected by the SCS1:SCS0 bits
becomes ready (see Figure 3-6), or it will be clocked
from the internal oscillator block if either the T wo-S peed
Start-up or the Fail-Safe Clock Monitor are enabled
(see Section 23.0 “Sp ecial Features of the CPU”). In
either case, th e OSTS b it is s et when t he p rimary clock
is providing the device clocks. The IDLEN and SCS bits
are not affect ed by the w ake-up.
3.4 Idle Modes
The Idle modes allow the controller’s CPU to be
selectively sh ut down while the p eriph erals continue to
operate. Selecting a particular Idle mode allows users
to further manage power consumption.
If the IDLEN bit i s set to a ‘1’ when a SLEEP inst ruction is
exec uted, the periph erals will be cl ocked fr om the cl ock
source selected using the SCS1 :SCS0 bits; however , the
CPU will not be clocked. The clock source status bits are
not affected. Setting IDLEN and executing a SLEEP
instr uction pro vides a qu ick method of switchi ng f rom a
given R u n m o de to its co rrespondi ng Idle m od e.
If the WDT is selected, the INTRC source will continue
to operate . If the T imer1 oscill ator is enabled, it will also
continue to run.
Since the CPU is not executing instructions, the only
exits from any of the Idle modes are by interrupt, WDT
tim e-out or a Reset . When a wa ke even t occur s, CP U
execution is delayed by an interval of TCSD
(parameter 38, Table 26-10) while it becomes ready to
execute code. When the CPU begins executing code,
it resumes with the same clock source for the current
Idle mode. For example, when waking from RC_IDLE
mode, the internal oscillator block will clock the CPU
and peripherals (in other words, RC_ RUN mo de). The
IDLEN and SCS bits are not affected by the wake-up.
While in any Idle mo de or Slee p mode, a WDT time-
out will result in a WDT wake-up to the Run mode
currently specified by the SCS1:SCS0 bits.

3.4.1 PRI_IDLE MODE
This mode is unique among the three low-power Idle
modes, in that it does not disable the primary device
clock. For timing sensitive applications, this allows for
the faste st resump tion of device op eration with its more
accur ate prima ry clock sour ce, sinc e the clock s ource
does not have to “warm-up” or transition from another
oscillator.
PRI_IDLE mode is entered from PRI_RUN mode by
setting the IDLEN bit and executing a SLEEP instruc-
tion. If the device is in another Run mode, set IDLEN
first, then clear the SCS bits and execute SLEEP.
Although the C PU is disab led, th e peri pherals continu e
to be clocked from the primary clock source specified
by the FOSC3:FOSC0 Configuration bits. The OSTS
bit remains set (see Figure 3-7).
When a wake event occurs, the CPU is clocked from the
primary clock source. A delay of interval TCSD is
required between the wake event and when code
execution starts. This is required to allow the CPU to
become rea dy to execute instructions. After the wake-
up, the OSTS bit remains set. The IDLEN and SCS bits
are not affected by the wake-up (see Figure 3-8).
3.4.2 SE C_ID LE MO DE
In SEC_IDLE mode, the CPU is disabled but the
peripherals continue to be clocked from the Timer1
oscillator. This mode is entered from SEC_RUN by
setting the IDLEN bit and executing a SLEEP
instruction. If the device is in another Run mode, set the
IDLEN bit first, then set the SCS1:SCS0 bits to ‘01’ and
execute SLEEP. When the clock source is switched to
the Timer1 oscillator , the primary oscillator is shut down,
the OSTS bit is cleared and the T1RUN bit is set.
When a wake event occurs, the peripherals continue to
be clocked from the Timer1 oscillator. After an interval
of TCSD following t he wa ke eve nt, the CPU b egins exe-
cuting c ode being c locked by the Timer1 oscillat or . The
IDLEN and SCS bits are not affected by the wake-up;
the Timer1 oscillator continues to run (see Figure 3-8).
FIGURE 3-7: TRANSITION TIMING FOR ENTRY TO IDLE MODE
FIGURE 3-8: TRANSITION TIMING FOR WAKE FROM IDLE TO RUN MODE
Note: The Timer1 oscillator should already be
running prior to entering SEC_IDLE mode.
If the T1OSCEN bit is not set when the
SLEEP instruction is executed, the SLEEP
instruction will be ignored and entry to
SEC_IDLE mode will not occur. If the
Timer1 oscillator is enabled but not yet
running, peripheral clocks will be delayed
until the oscillator has started. In such
situations, initial oscillator operation is far
from stable and unpredictable operation
may re sult.

3.4.3 RC_IDLE MODE
In RC_I DL E m od e, t he CPU is d is abl ed but the periph-
erals co nti nue to b e c loc ke d from the internal oscil la tor
block using the INTOSC multiplexer. This mode allows
for cont rollable power c onservation during Idl e periods .
From RC_RUN, this mode is entered by setting the
IDLEN bit and executing a SLEEP instruction. If the
device is in a nother Run m ode, first s et IDLEN, th en set
the SCS1 bit and execute SLEEP. Although its value is
ignored, it i s recomm ended that SCS0 also be cle ared;
this is to maintain software compatibility with future
devices. The INTOSC multiplexer may be used to
select a higher clock frequency by modifying the IRCF
bits be for e ex ecut in g the SLEEP instruction. When the
clock source is switched to the INTOSC multiplexer , the
primary oscillator is shut down and the OSTS bit is
cleared.
If the IRCF bits are set to any non-zero value, or the
INTSRC bit is set, the INTOSC output is enabled. The
IOFS bit becomes set, after the INTOSC output
becomes stable, after an interval of TIOBST
(parameter 39, Table 26-10). Clocks to the peripherals
continue while the INTOSC source stabilizes. If the
IRCF bits were previously at a non-zero value, or
INTSRC was set before the SLEEP instruction was
executed and the INTOSC source was already stable,
the IOFS bit will remain set. If the IRCF bits and
INTSRC are all clear, the INTOSC output will not be
enabled , the I OFS bit wi ll remain clear and t here wil l be
no indication of the current clock source.
When a wake event occurs, the peripherals continue to
be clocked from the INT OSC multiplexer . After a delay of
TCSD following the wake event, the CPU begins execut-
ing code being clocked by the INT O SC mul tiplexer. The
IDLEN and SCS bits are not affected by the wake-up.
The INTRC source will continue to run if either the WDT
or the Fail-Safe Clock Monitor is enabled.
3.5 Exiting Idle and Sleep Modes
An exit from Sleep mode or any of the Idle modes is
triggered by an interrupt, a Reset or a WDT time-out.
This section discusses the triggers that cause exits
from power-managed modes. The clocking subsystem
actions are discussed in each of the power-managed
modes (see Section 3.2 “Run Modes”, Section 3.3
“Sle ep Modeand Section 3.4 “Idle Modes”).
3.5. 1 EXIT BY INTERRUPT
Any of the available interrupt sources can cause the
device to exit from an Idle mode or Sleep mode to a
Run mode. To enable this functionality, an interrupt
source m us t be enabled by s etti ng i ts enable bi t in on e
of the INTCON or PIE registers. The exit sequence is
initiate d when the c orresponding interrupt flag bit is set.
On all exits f rom Idl e or S leep modes by i nte rrupt , co de
execution branches to the interrupt vector if the GIE/
GIEH bi t (INTCON<7> ) is set. Oth erwise, cod e execution
continues or resumes without branching (see
Section 10.0 “Interrupts”).
A fixed delay of interval TCSD fo l lo w i ng the w ak e ev en t
is required when leaving Sleep and Idle modes. This
del ay is required for the CPU to prepare for execution.
Instruction execution resumes on the first clock cycle
following this delay.
3.5.2 EXIT BY WDT TIME-OUT
A WDT time-out will cause different actions depending
on which power-managed mode the device is in when
the time-out occurs.
If th e dev ice i s not ex ecut ing code (all Idle mo des a nd
Sleep mod e), th e time-o ut w il l resul t in a n ex it fro m th e
power-managed mode (see Section 3.2 “Run
Modes” a nd Section 3.3 “Sleep Mode ). If the device
is executing code (all Run modes), the time-out will
result in a WDT Reset (see Section 23.2 “Watchdog
Timer (WDT)”).
The WDT timer and postscaler are cleared by
executi ng a SLEEP or CLRWDT instructi on, the lo ss of a
currently selected clock source (if the Fail-Safe Clock
Monitor is enabled) and modifying the IRCF bits in the
OSCCON register if the internal oscillator block is the
device clock source.
3.5. 3 EXIT BY RESET
Normally, the device is held in Reset by the Oscillator
Start-up Timer (OST) until the primary clock becomes
ready. At that time, the OSTS bit is set and the device
begins e xe cu ting code. If th e internal osc il lat or bl oc k i s
the new clock source, the IOFS bit is set instead.
The exit delay time from Reset to the start of code
execution depends on both the clock sources before
and after the wake-up and the type of oscillator if the
new clock source is the primary clock. Exit delays are
summarized in Table 3-2.
Code execution can begin before the primary clock
becomes ready. If either the Two-Speed Start-up (see
Section 23.3 “Two-Speed Start-up”) or Fail-Safe
Clock Monitor (see Section 23.4 “Fail-Safe Clock
Monitor”) is enabled, the device may begin execution
as soon as the Re set sourc e ha s cle ared. Execution is
clocked by the INTOSC multiplexer driven by the
internal oscillator block. Execution is clocked by the
internal oscillator block until either the primary clock
becomes ready or a power-managed mode is entered
before the primary clock becomes ready; the primary
clock is then shu t down.

DS39626E-page 40 © 2008 Microchip Technology Inc.
3.5.4 EXIT WITHOUT AN OSCILLATOR
START-UP DELAY
Certain exits from power-managed modes do not
invoke the OST at all. There are two cases:
PRI_IDLE mode, where the primary clock source
is not stopped; and
the primary clock source is not any of the LP, XT,
HS or HSPLL modes.
In these instances, the primary clock source either
does not require an oscillator start-up delay since it is
already running (PRI_IDLE), or normally does not
require an oscillator start-up delay (RC, EC and INTIO
Oscillator modes). However, a fixed delay of interval
TCSD following the wake event is still required when
leaving Sleep and Idle modes to allow the CPU to
prepare for execution. Instruction execution resumes
on the first clock cycle following this delay.

4.0 RESET
The PIC18F2525/2620/4525/4620 devices differentiate
between various kin ds of R eset:
a) Power-on Reset (POR)
b) MCLR Reset during normal operation
c) MCLR Reset during power-managed modes
d) Watchdog Timer (WDT) Reset (during
execution)
e) Programmable Brown-out Reset (BOR)
f) RESET Inst ruction
g) Stack Full Reset
h) Stack Underflow Rese t
This section discusses Resets generated by MCLR,
POR and BO R and cov ers the ope rati on of the variou s
start-up timers. Stack Reset events are covered in
Section 5.1.2.4 “Stack Full and Underflow Resets”.
WDT Re sets a r e co v ere d i n Section 23.2 “Watchdog
Timer (WDT)”.
A simplif ied block diagra m of the On-Chip Rese t Circu it
is sh own i n Figure 4-1.
4.1 RCON Register
Device Reset events are tracked through the RCON
register (Register 4-1). The lower five bits of the regis-
ter indic ate that a spec ific Reset event has oc curred. In
most ca ses, these b its can o nly be clear ed by the e vent
and must be set by the appli ca tio n after the eve nt. Th e
state of these flag bits, taken together, can be read to
indicate the type of Reset that just occurred. This is
described in more detail in Section 4.6 “Reset State
of Registers”.
The RCON register also has control bits for setting
interrupt priority (IPEN) and software control of the
BOR (SBOREN). Interrupt priority is discussed in
Section 10.0 “Interrupts”. BOR is covered in
Section 4.4 “Brown-out Reset (BOR)”.

PIC18F2525/2620/4525/4620
4.2 Master Clear (MCLR)
The MCLR pin provides a method for triggering an
external Reset of the device. A Reset is generated by
hold ing the pin low . T hese devi ces have a noise fi lter in
the MCLR Reset path which detects and ignores small
pulses.
The MCLR pin i s not driven l ow b y any i nter nal Res ets ,
including the WDT.
In PIC18F2525/2620/4525/4620 devices, the MCLR
input can be disabled with the MCLRE Configuration
bit. When MCLR is disabled, the pin becomes a digital
input. See Section 9.5 “PORTE, TRISE and LATE
Registers” for more information.
4.3 Power-on Reset (POR)
A Power-on Reset pulse is generated on-chip
whenever VDD rises above a certain threshold. This
allows the device to start in the initialized state when
VDD is adequate for operation.
To take advantage of the POR circuitry, tie the MCLR
pin th rou gh a res is tor ( 1 kΩ to 10 kΩ) to VDD. This will
eliminate external RC components usually needed to
create a Power-on Re set delay. A minimum ri se rate for
VDD is specified (parameter D004). For a slow rise
time, see Figure 4-2.
When the device start s normal operation (i.e ., ex its the
Reset condition), device operating parameters
(voltage, frequency, temperature, etc.) must be met to
ensure operation. If these conditions are not met, the
device must be held in Reset until the operating
conditions are met.
POR events are captured by the POR bit (RCON<1>).
The state of the bit is set to ‘0’ whe never a POR occurs;
it does not change for any other Reset event. POR is
not reset to1’ by any hardware event. To capture
multiple events, the user manually resets the bit to ‘1
in software following any POR.
FIGURE 4-2: EXTERNAL POWER-ON
RESET CIRCUIT (FOR
SLOW VDD POWER-UP)
Note 1: External Power-on Reset circuit is required
only if the VDD power-up slope is too slow.
The diode D helps discharge the capacitor
quickly when VDD powers down.
2: R < 40 kΩ is recommended to make sure that
the voltage drop across R does not violate
the device’s electrical specification.
3: R1 1 kΩ will limit any current flowing into
MCLR from external capacitor C, in the event
of MCLR/VPP pin breakdown, due to
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) or Electrical
Overstress (EO S) .

4.4 Brown-out Reset (BOR)
PIC18F2525/2620/4525/4620 devices implement a
BOR circuit that provides the user with a number of
configuration and power-saving options. The BOR is
controlled by the BORV1:BORV0 and
BOREN1:BOREN0 Configuration bits. There are a tot al
of four BOR configurations which are summarized in
Table 4-1.
The BOR t hreshold is set b y the BOR V1:BOR V0 bi ts. If
BOR is enabled (any values of BOREN1:BOREN0,
except00’), any drop of VDD below VBOR (paramet er
D005) for greater than TBOR (parameter 35) will reset
the device. A Reset may or may not occur if VDD fal ls
below VBOR for less than TBOR. The chip will remain in
Brown-out Reset until VDD rises above VBOR.
If the Powe r-up Ti mer is enabled , it will be invoke d after
VDD rises above VBOR; it then will keep the chip in
Reset for an additional time delay, TPWRT
(parameter 33). If VDD drops below VBOR while the
Power-up Timer is running, the chip will go back into a
Brown-out Reset and the Power-up Timer will be
initialized. Once VDD rises above VBOR, the Power-up
Timer will execute the additional time delay.
BOR and the Power-on Timer (PWRT) are
independently configured. Enabling BOR Reset does
not automatically enable the PW RT.
4.4.1 SOFTWARE ENABLED BOR
When BOREN1:BOREN0 = 01, the BOR can be
enabled or disabled by the user in software. This is
done with the control bit, SBOREN (RCON<6>).
Setting SBOREN enables the BOR to function as
previously described. Clearing SBOREN disables the
BOR entirely. The SBOREN bit operates only in this
mode; oth erwise it is re ad as ‘0’.
Placing the BOR under software control gives the user
the additional flexibility of tailoring the application to its
environ me nt w it hou t ha ving to reprog ram the device to
change BOR configuration. It also allows the user to
tailor device power consumption in software by elimi-
nating the incremental current that the BOR consumes.
While the BOR current is typically very small, it may
have some impact in low-power applications.
4.4.2 DETECTING BOR
When BO R is enab led, the BO R bit always resets to 0
on any BOR or POR event. This makes it difficult to
determin e if a BOR eve nt ha s occ urre d jus t by reading
the state of BOR alone. A more reliable method is to
simultaneously check the state of both POR and BOR.
This as sumes that the PO R bit is rese t to ‘1’ in softwa re
immediately after any POR event. If BOR is ‘0’ while
POR is ‘1’, it can be reli ably assumed th at a BOR event
has occurred.
4.4.3 DISABLING BOR IN SLEEP MODE
When BOREN1:BOREN0 = 10, the BOR remains
under hardware control and operates as previously
described. Whenever the device enters Sleep mode,
howev er, the BOR is automati ca lly dis abl ed . When the
device returns to any other operating mode, BOR is
automatically re-enabled.
This mode allows for applications to recover from
brown-out situations, while actively executing code,
when the device requires BOR protection the most. At
the same time, it save s additional po wer in Sleep mode
by eliminating the small incremental BOR current.
TABLE 4-1: BOR CONFIGURATIONS
Note: Even when BOR is u nder softw are control,
the BOR Reset voltage level is still set by
the BORV1:BORV0 Configuration bits. It
cannot be changed in software.

PIC18F2525/2620/4525/4620
4.5 Device Reset Timers
PIC18F2525/2620/4525/4620 dev ices incorporate three
separate on-chip time rs that help regulate the Power-on
Reset process. Their main function is to ensure that the
device clock is stable before code is executed. These
timers are:
Power-up Timer (PWRT)
Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST)
PLL Lock Time-o ut
4.5.1 POWER-UP TIMER (PWRT)
The Power-up Timer (PWRT) of PIC18F2525/2620/
4525/4620 devices is an 11-bit counter which uses
the INTRC sour ce as the clock input. This yields an
approximate time interval of 2048 x 32 μs=65.6ms.
While the PWRT is counting, the device is held in
Reset.
The powe r-up tim e de lay depe nd s on the INTRC cl oc k
and will vary from chip to chip due to temperature and
process variation. See DC parameter 33 for details.
The PWRT is enabled by clearing the PWRTEN
Configuration bit.
4.5.2 OSCIL LA TOR START-UP TIMER
(OST)
The Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) provides a
1024 oscillator cycle (from OSC1 input) delay after the
PWRT del ay is ov er (par a me t er 3 3 ). T h is en su re s t ha t
the crystal oscillator or resonator has started and
stabilized.
The OST time-out is invoked only for XT, LP, HS and
HSPLL modes and only on Power-on Reset, or on exit
from most power-managed modes.
4.5.3 PLL LOCK TIME-OUT
With the PLL enabled in its PLL mode, the time-out
sequence following a Power-on Reset is slightly differ-
ent from other oscillator modes. A separate timer is
used to p r ovide a fixe d tim e-o ut that is su f fi ci ent fo r the
PLL to lock to the main oscillator frequency. This PLL
lock time-out (TPLL) is typically 2 ms and follows the
oscillator start-up time-out.
4.5.4 TIME-OUT SEQUENCE
On power-up, the time-out sequence is as follows:
1. After the POR pulse has cleared, PWRT time-out
is invoked (if en abled).
2. Then, the OST is activated.
The total time-out will vary based on oscillator configu-
ration and the status of the PWRT. Figure 4-3,
Figure 4-4, Figure 4-5, Figure 4-6 and Figure 4-7 all
depict time-out sequences on power-up, with the
Power-up Timer enabled and the device operating in
HS Oscillator mode. Figures 4-3 through 4-6 also
apply to devices operating in XT or LP modes. For
device s in RC mode and with the PWRT di sabled, there
will be no time-out at all.
Since the time-outs occur from the PO R pulse, if MCLR
is kept low long e nough, all ti me-outs wi ll exp ire. Brin g-
ing MCLR high will begin execution immediately
(Figure 4-5). This is useful for testing purposes or to
synchronize more than one PIC18FXXXX device
operating in parallel.

4.6 Reset State of Registers
Most registers are unaffected by a Reset. Their status
is unknown on POR and unchanged by all other
Resets. The other registers are forced to a “Reset
state” depending on the type of Reset that occurred.
Most registers are not affected by a WDT wake-up,
since this is viewed as the resumption of normal oper-
ation. Status bits from the RCON register, RI, TO, PD,
POR and BO R, are set or cle ared dif ferently in dif ferent
Reset situations, as indicated in Table 4-3. These bits
are used in software to determine the nature of the
Reset.
Table 4-4 describes the Reset states for all of the
Special Function Registers. These are categorized by
Power-on and Brown-out Resets, Master Clear and
WDT Resets and WDT wake-ups.

PIC18F2525/2620/4525/4620
5.0 MEMORY ORGANIZATION
There are three types of memory in PIC18 enhanced
microcontroller devices:
Program Memory
Data RAM
Data EEPROM
As Harvard arc hitecture devices, the da ta and progra m
memories use separate busses; this allows for con-
current access of the two memory spaces. The data
EEPROM, for practical purposes, can be regarded as
a peripheral device, since it is ad dressed and accessed
through a set of control registers.
Additional detailed information on the operation of the
Flash program memory is provided in Section 7.0
“Flash Program Memory”. Data EEPROM is
discussed separately in Section 6.0 “Data EEPROM
Memory.
5.1 Program Memory Organization
PIC18 microcontrollers implement a 21-bit program
counter, which is capable of addressing a 2-Mbyte
progra m memory sp ace. Acces sing a lo cation b etween
the upper boundary of the physically implemented
memory and the 2-Mbyte address will return all ‘0’s (a
NOP instr ucti on).
The PIC18F2525 and PIC18F4525 each have
48 Kbytes of Flash me mory and c an store up to 24 ,576
single-word instructions. The PIC18F2620 and
PIC18F4620 each have 64 Kbytes of Flash memory
and can store up to 32,768 single-word instructions.
PIC18 devices have two interrupt vectors. The Reset
vector address is at 0000h and the interrupt vector
addresses are at 0008h and 0018h.
The program memory maps for PIC18FX525 and
PIC18FX620 devices are shown in Figure 5-1.

5.1.1 PROGRAM COUNTER
The Progra m Counter (PC) s pecifies the address of the
instruction to fetch for execution. The PC is 21 bit s wide
and is contained in three separate 8-bit registers. The
low byte, known as the PCL register, is both readable
and wr itable. Th e high byt e, or PCH regi ster, con tains
the PC<1 5:8> bits; it is not directly re adable or writ able.
Update s to the PCH register are performe d through the
PCLATH register. The upper byte is called PCU. This
register contains the PC<20:16> bits; it is also not
directly readable or writable. Updates to the PCU
register are performed through the PCLATU register.
The contents of PCLATH and PCLATU are transferred
to the program counter by any operation that writes
PCL. Similarly, the upper two bytes of the program
counter are tran sferred to PCL ATH and PCLATU by an
operation that reads PCL. This is useful for computed
offsets to the PC (see Section 5.1.4.1 “Computed
GOTO”).
The PC addresses bytes in the program memory. To
prevent the PC from becoming misaligned with word
instructions, the Least Significant bit of PCL is fixed to
a value of0’. The PC increments by 2 to address
sequential instructions in the program memory.
The CALL, RCALL, GOTO and program branch
instructions write to the program counter directly. For
these instructions, the contents of PCLATH and
PCLATU are not transferred to the program counter.
5.1.2 RETURN ADDRESS STACK
The return address s t ac k al low s any comb in ation of up
to 31 program calls and interrupts to occur. The PC is
pus hed o nt o th e stac k when a CALL or RCALL instruc-
tion is executed or an interrupt is Acknowledged. The
PC value is pulled off the stack on a RETURN, RETLW
or a RETFIE instruction. PC LATU and PCLATH are not
affected by any of the RETURN or CALL instructions.
The stack operates as a 31-word by 21-bit RAM and a
5-bit Stack Pointer, STKPTR. The stack space is not
part of either program or data sp ace. The Stack Point er
is readable and writable and the address on the top of
the stack is readable and writable through the top-of-
stack Special File Registers. Data can also be pushed
to, or popped from the stack, using these registers.
A CALL ty pe inst ruct ion cause s a pus h onto t he stac k;
the Stack Pointer is first incremented and the location
pointed to by the Stack Pointer is written with the
contents of the PC (already pointing to the instruction
following the CALL). A RETURN type instruction causes
a pop from the stack; the contents of the location
pointed to by the STKPTR are transferred to the PC
and then the Stack Pointer is decremented.
The Stack Pointer is initialized to ‘00000’ after all
Resets. There is no RAM associated with the location
corresponding to a Stack Pointer value of00000’; this
is only a R eset v alue. Status bits in dic ate if th e s tack is
full or has overflowed or has underflowed.
5.1.2.1 Top-of-Stack Access
Only the top of the return address stack (TOS) is
readable and writable. A set of three registers,
TOSU:TOSH:TOSL, hold the contents of the stack
location pointed to by the STKPTR register (Figure 5-2).
This allows users to implement a software stack if
necessary. After a CALL, RCALL or interrupt, the
software can read the pushed value by reading the
TOSU:TOSH:TOSL registers. These values can be
placed on a user-defined software stack. At return time,
the software can return these values to
TOSU:TOSH:TOSL and do a return.
The user must disable the global interrupt enable bits
while accessing the stack to prevent inadvertent stack
corruption.

5.1.2.2 Return Stack Pointer (STKPT R)
The STKPTR re gister (Register 5-1) cont ains the S tack
Pointer value, the STKFUL (Stack Full) status bit and
the STKUNF (Stack Underflow) status bits. The value
of the Stack Pointer can be 0 through 31. The Stack
Pointer increments before values are pushed onto the
stack and decrements after values are popped off the
stack. On Reset, the Stack Pointer value will be zero.
The user may read and write the Stack Pointer value.
This feature can be used by a Real-Time Operating
System (RTOS) for return stack maintenance.
Aft er the PC is pu shed ont o the st a ck 31 ti mes (w itho ut
popping any values off the stack), the STKFUL bit is
set. The STKFUL bit is cleared by software or by a
POR.
The action that takes place when the stack becomes
full depends on the state of the STVREN (Stack
Overflow Reset Enable) Configuration bit. (Refer to
Section 23.1 “Configuration Bit s” for a desc ription of
the device Configuration bits.) If STVREN is set
(default), the 31st push will push the (PC + 2) value
onto the stack, set the STKFUL bit and reset the
device. The STKFUL bit will remain set and the Stack
Pointer will be set to zero.
If STVREN is clea red, the STKFUL bi t will be se t on the
31st push and the Stack Pointer will increment to 31.
Any additional pushes will not overwrite the 31st push
and STKPTR will remain at 31.
When the stack has been popped enough times to
unload th e stack, the ne xt pop will return a value of zero
to the PC and sets the STKUNF bit, while the Stack
Pointer remains at zero. The STKUNF bit will remain
set until cleared by software or until a POR occurs.
5.1.2.3 PUSH and POP Instructions
Since the Top-of-Stack is readable and writable, the
ability to pus h values onto the st ac k and pull value s off
the stack without disturbing normal program execution
is a desirable feature. The PIC18 instruction set
includes two instructions, PUSH and POP, that permit
the TOS to be manipulated under software control.
TOSU , T OSH and T OS L can be m odifie d to plac e dat a
or a return address on the stack.
The PUSH instruction places the current PC value onto
the stack. This increments the Stack Pointer and loads
the current PC value onto the stack.
The POP instruction discards the current TOS by decre-
menting the Stack Pointer. The previous value pushed
onto the stack then becomes the TOS value.
Note: Returning a value of zero to the PC on an
underflow has the effect of vectoring the
program to the Reset vector, where the
stack conditions can be verified and
appropriate actions can be taken. This is
not the same as a Reset, as the contents
of the SFRs are not affected.

5.1.2.4 Stack Full and Underflow Resets
Device Resets on stack overflow and stack underflow
conditions are enabled by setting the STVREN bit in
Config ura tion Regi ster 4L. When STVREN i s set, a full
or underflow will set the appropriate STKFUL or
STKUNF bit and then cause a device Reset. When
STVREN is cleared, a full or underflow condition will set
the appropriate STKFUL or STKUNF bit but not cause
a device Reset. The STKFUL or STKUNF bits are
cleared by the user software or a Power-on Reset.
5.1.3 FAST REGISTER STACK
A Fast Register Stack is provided for the STATUS,
WREG and BSR registers, to provide a “fast return”
option for i nterr upts. The st a ck for eac h reg is ter is onl y
one leve l deep and is neith er readable nor wri table. It is
loaded w ith t he curre nt value o f the correspon ding re g-
ister when the processor vectors for an interrupt. All
inte rrupt source s will pu sh val ues i nto th e stack regis-
ters. The values in the registers are then loaded back
into their associated registers if the RETFIE, FAST
instruction is used to return from the interrupt.
If both low and high-priority interrupts are enabled, the
stack registers cannot be used reliably to return from
low-priority interrupts. If a high-priority interrupt occurs
while servicing a low-priority interrupt, the stack regis-
ter values stored by the low-priority interrupt will be
overwritten. In these cases, users must save the key
registers in software during a low-priority interrupt.
If interrupt pri ority is not used, all interrupts ma y use the
Fast Register Stack for returns from interrupt. If no
interrupts are used, the Fast Register Stack can be
used to restore the STA TUS, WR EG and BSR regis ters
at th e end of a subro utine cal l. To use the Fast Regis ter
Stack for a subroutine call, a CALL label,FAST
instruction must be executed to save the STATUS,
WREG and BSR registers to the Fast Register S t ack. A
RETURN, FAST instru ction is then ex ec uted to restore
these registers from the Fast Register Stack.
Example 5-1 shows a source code example that uses
the Fast Register Stack during a subroutine call and
return.
EXAMPLE 5-1: FAST REGISTER STACK
CODE EXAMPLE
5.1.4 LOOK-UP TABLES IN PR OGRAM
MEMORY
There may be programming situations that require the
creation of data structures, or look-up tables, in
program memory. For PIC18 devices, look-up tables
can be implemente d in two ways:
Computed GOTO
Table Reads
5.1.4.1 Computed GOTO
A comput ed GOTO i s a cco mplished by a ddi ng an offs et
to the program counter. An example is shown in
Example 5-2.
A look-up table can be formed with an ADDWF PCL
instruction and a group of RETLW nn instructions. The
W register is loa ded with an offset int o the ta ble befo re
executi ng a c al l to tha t t a ble. The first ins tru cti on of the
called routine is the ADDWF PCL instruction. The next
instruction executed will be one of the RETLW nn
instructions that returns the value ‘nn’ to the calling
function.
The offset value (in WREG) specifies the number of
bytes that the program counter should advance and
should be mu ltiples of 2 (LSb = 0).
In this method, only one data byte may be stored in
each instruction location and room on the return
address stack is required.
EXAMPLE 5-2: COMP UTED GOTO USING
AN OFFSET VALUE
5.1.4.2 Table Reads and Table Writes
A better method of storing data in program memory
allow s two bytes of dat a to be stored in each instruc tion
location.
Look-up table data may be stored two bytes per
program word by using table reads and writes. The
Table Pointer (TBLPTR) register specifies the byte
address and the Table Latch (TABLAT) register
cont ains the da ta that is read from o r written to pro gram
memory. Data is transferred to or from program
memory one byte at a time.
Table read and table write operations are discussed
further in Section 7.1 “Table Reads and Table
Writes”.

5.2 PIC18 Instruction Cycle
5.2.1 CLOCKING SCHEME
The microcontroller clock input, whether from an
internal or external source, is internally divided by four
to generate four non-overlapping quadrature clocks
(Q1, Q2, Q3 and Q4). Interna lly, the pro gram counter i s
incremented on every Q1; the instruction is fetched
from the program memory and latched into the
instruction register during Q4. The instruction is
decode d and exec uted during the follow ing Q1 th rough
Q4. The clocks and instruction execution flow are
shown in Figure 5-3.
5.2.2 INSTRUCTION FLOW/PIPELINING
An “Instruction Cycle” consists of four Q cycles: Q1
through Q4. The instruction fetch and execute are
pipelined in such a manner that a fetch takes one
instruction cycle, while the decode and execute take
another instruction cycle. However, due to the pipe-
lining, each instruction effectively executes in one
cycle. If an instruction causes the program counter to
change (e.g., GOTO), then two cycles are required to
complete the instruction ( Example 5-3).
A fetch cycle begins with the Program Counter (PC)
incrementing in Q1.
In the ex ecution cycle , the fetched instruction i s latched
into the Instruction Register (IR) in cycle Q1. This
instruction is then decoded and executed during the
Q2, Q 3 and Q4 cycle s. Dat a memory is re ad dur ing Q 2
(operand read) and written during Q4 (destination
write).

5.2.3 INSTRUCTIONS IN PROGRAM
MEMORY
The program memory is addressed in bytes. Instruc-
tions are stored as two bytes or four bytes in program
memory. The Least Significant Byte of an instruction
word is always stored in a program memory location
with an eve n address (LSb = 0). To maintain alignment
with i nstruction bo undaries , the PC i ncrement s in s teps
of 2 a nd the LSb will a lways read 0’ (see Section 5.1.1
“Program Counter”).
Figure 5-4 shows an ex am ple of h ow in st ruc tion w ord s
are stored in the program memory.
The CALL and GOTO instructions have the absolute
program memory address embedded into the instruc-
tion. Since instructions are always stored on word
boundaries, the data contained in the instruction is a
word address. The word address is written to PC<20:1>,
which accesses the desired byte address in program
memory. Instruction #2 in Figure 5-4 shows how the
instruction GOTO 0006h is encoded in the program
memory. Program branch instructions, which encode a
relative address offset, operate in the same ma nner. The
of fset value stored in a branch instruction represent s the
number of single-word instructions that the PC will be
offset by. Section 24.0 “Instruction Set Summary”
provides further details of the instruction s et.
FIGURE 5-4: INSTRUCTIONS IN PROGRAM MEMORY
5.2.4 TWO-WORD INSTRUCTIONS
The standard PIC18 instruction set has four two-word
instructions: CALL, MOVFF, GOTO and LSFR. In all
cases, the se cond wor d of th e inst ruct ions al ways has
1111’ as its four M ost Si gnifican t bit s; the ot her 12 bit s
are literal data, usually a data memory address.
The use o f ‘1111’ in the 4 MSbs of an instruction spec-
ifies a special form of NOP. If th e ins tructio n is ex ecuted
in proper s equ enc e – i mmediately af te r the fi rst wo rd –
the da ta in the s econd wor d is acce ssed and used by
the instruction seq uence. If the fi rst word is skipp ed for
some reason and the second word is executed by itself,
a NOP is executed instead. This is necessary for cases
when the two-word instruction is preceded by a condi-
tional instruction that changes the PC. Example 5-4
shows how this works.

PIC18F2525/2620/4525/4620
5.3 Data Memory Organizati on
The data memory in PIC18 dev ices is implemented as
static RAM. Each register in the data memory has a
12-bit address, allowing up to 4096 bytes of data
memory. The memory sp ace is div ided into as many as
16 banks that contain 256 bytes each; PIC18F2525/
2620/4525/4620 devices implement all 16 banks.
Figure 5-5 show s the dat a memory or ganiz ation for the
PIC18F2525/2620/4525/4620 devices.
The data memory contains Special Function Registers
(SFRs) and General Purpose Registers (GPRs). The
SFRs are used for control and status of the controller
and per ipheral functio ns, while GP Rs are used for dat a
storage and scratchpad operations in the user’s
applic ation. Any read of an unim plemente d locat ion will
read as ‘0’s.
The instruction set and architecture allow operations
across all banks. The entire data memory may be
accessed by Direct, Indirect or Indexed Addressing
modes. Addressing modes are discussed later in this
subsection.
To ensure that commonly used registers (SFRs and
select GP Rs) c an b e ac cess ed i n a singl e cycle, PI C18
devices impl em ent an Ac ce ss Bank. This i s a 256 -by te
memor y space that provid es fa st acc ess to SFRs and
the lower portion of GPR Bank 0 without using the
BSR. Section 5.3.2 “Access Bank” provides a
detailed description of the Access RAM.
5.3. 1 BANK S ELECT REGISTER (BSR )
Large areas of data memory require an efficient
addressing scheme to make rapid access to any
address possible. Ideally, this means that an entire
address doe s no t need to be provi ded for each read or
write operation. For PIC18 devices, this is accom-
plished with a RAM banking scheme. This divides the
memory space into 16 contiguous banks of 256 bytes.
Depending on the instruction, each location can be
addressed directly by its full 12-bit address, or an 8-bit
low-order address and a 4-bit Bank Pointer.
Most in struct ions in th e PIC18 instru ction se t make us e
of the Ban k Pointer , known as the Ba nk Select Reg ister
(BSR). This SFR holds the four Most Signif ic ant bits of
a location’s address; the instruction itself includes the
8 Least Significant bits. Only the four lower bits of the
BSR are implemented (BSR3:BSR0). The upper four
bit s are unused; the y will always read ‘0’ an d cannot be
written to. T he BSR can be l oaded direct ly by using the
MOVLB instruction.
The value of the BSR indicates the bank in data
memory; the 8 bits in the instruction show the location
in the b ank and ca n b e t hought of as an offset from th e
bank’s lower boundary. The relationship between the
BSR’s value and the bank division in data memory is
shown in Figure 5-6.
Since up to 16 regis ters m ay share the s ame l ow-order
address, the user must always be careful to ensure that
the proper bank is selected before performing a data
read or write. For example, writing what should be
progra m data to an 8-bit a ddress of F9 h, while the BSR
is 0Fh, will end up resetting t he pr ogra m counter.
While any bank can be s el ec t ed, onl y th os e ba nk s that
are actually implemented can be read or written to.
Writes to unimplemented banks are ignored, while
reads from unimplemented banks will return0’s. Even
so, the STATUS register will still be affected as if the
operation was successful. The data memory map in
Figure 5-5 indicates which banks are implemented.
In the core PIC18 instruction set, only the MOVFF
instruction fully specifies the 12-bit address of the
source a nd target reg isters. This i nstruction ig nores the
BSR comple tely when it ex ecutes. All othe r instruction s
include only the low-order address as an operand and
must use either the BSR or the Access Bank to locate
their targ et regis te rs.
Note: The operation of some aspects of data
memory are changed when the PIC18
extended instruction set is enabled. See
Section 5.5 “Data Memory and the
Extended Instruction Set” for more
information.

FIGURE 5-6: USE OF THE BANK SELECT REGISTER (DIRECT ADDRESSING)
5.3.2 ACCESS BANK
While the use of the BSR with an embedded 8-bit
address allows users to address the entire range of
data mem ory, it al so me ans th at t he user must alwa ys
ensure that the correct bank is selected. Otherwise,
data may be read from or written to the wrong location.
This can be disastrous if a GPR is the intended target
of an operation, but an SFR is written to instead.
Verifying and/or changing the BSR for each read or
write to data memory can become very inefficient.
To streamlin e access for the most com monly used da ta
memory locations, the data memory is configured with
an Access Bank, which allows users to access a
mapped block of memory without specifying a BSR.
The Access Bank consists of the first 128 bytes of
memory (00h-7Fh) in Bank 0 and the last 128 bytes of
memory (80 h-FFh) in Block 15 . The lower half is known
as the “Access RAM” and is composed of GPRs. This
upper half is also where the device’s SFRs are
mapped. These two areas are mapped contiguously in
the Access Bank and can be addressed in a linear
fashion by an 8-bit address (Figure 5-5).
The Access Bank is used by core PIC18 instructions
that include the Access RAM bit (the ‘a’ parameter in
the instruction). When ‘a’ is equal to ‘1’, t he inst ru ct i on
uses the BSR and the 8-bit address included in the
opcode for the data memory address. When ‘a’ is ‘0’,
however, the instruction is forced to use the Access
Bank address map; the current value of the BSR is
ignored enti r el y.
Using this “forced” addressing allows the instruction to
operate on a data address in a single cycle, without
updating the BSR first. For 8-bit addresses of 80h and
above, t his mean s that use rs can evaluate an d opera te
on SFRs more efficiently. The Access RAM below 80h
is a goo d place for da ta values th at the user might need
to access rapidly, such as immediate computational
results or common program variables. Access RAM
also allows for faster and more code efficient context
saving and switching of variables.
The mapping of the Access Bank is slightly different
when the extended instruction set is enabled (XINST
Configuration bit = 1). T his is di scus sed in mo re deta il
in Section 5.5.3 “Mapping the Access Bank in
Indexed Literal Offset Addressing Mode”.
5.3.3 GENERAL PURPOSE
REGISTER FILE
PIC18 devices may have banked memory in the GPR
area. This is data RAM, which is available for use by all
instructions. GPRs start at the bottom of Bank 0
(address 000h) and grow upwards towards the bottom of
the SFR area. GPRs are not initialized by a Power-on
Reset and are unchanged on all other R eset s.
Note 1: The Access RAM bit of the instruction can be used to force an override of the selected bank (BSR<3:0>) to
the registers of the Access Bank.
2: The MOVFF instruction embeds the entire 12-bit address in the instruction.

5.3.4 SPECIAL FUNCTION REGISTERS
The Special Function Registers (SFRs) are registers
used by the CPU and peripheral modules for controlling
the desired operation of the device. These registers are
implemented as static RAM. SFRs start at the top of
data mem ory (F FFh) an d exte nd down ward to oc cupy
the top half of Bank 15 (F80h to FFFh). A list of these
registers is given in Table 5-1 and Table 5-2.
The SFRs can be classified into two sets: those associ-
ated with the “core” device functionality (ALU, Resets
and interrupts) and those related to the peripheral
functions. The reset and interrupt registers are
described in their respective chapters, while the ALU’s
STATUS register is described later in this section.
Registers related to the operation of a p eripheral feature
are described in the chapter for that periph eral.
The SFRs are typically distributed among the
periphera ls w ho se functions they c ontrol. Unused SFR
locations are unimplemented and read as ‘0’s.

5.3.5 STATUS REGISTER
The STATUS register, shown in Register 5-2, contains
the arithmetic status of the ALU. As with any other SFR,
it can be the operand for any instruction.
If the STATUS register is the desti nati on for an ins tru c-
tion that affects the Z, DC, C, OV or N bits, the results
of the instruction are not written; instead, the STATUS
register is updated according to the instruction per-
formed. Therefore, the result of an instruction with the
STATUS register as its destination may be different
than intended. As an example, CLRF STATUS will set
the Z bit and leave the remaining Status bits
unchanged (‘000u u1uu’).
It is recommended that only BCF, BSF, SWAPF, MOVFF
and MOVWF instructions are used to alter the STATUS
register, becaus e thes e ins tructi ons d o not af fect t he Z,
C, DC, OV or N bits in the STATUS register.
For other i ns truc tions that do n ot a ffect Status bits, see
the instruction set summaries in Table 24-2 and
Table 24-3.
Note: The C and DC bits operate as the borrow
and digit borrow bits, respectively, in
subtraction.

-n = Value at POR ‘1’ = Bit is set ‘0’ = Bit is cleared x = Bit is unknown
bit 7-5 Unimplemented: Read as0
bit 4 N: Negative bit
This bit is used for signed arithmetic (2’s complement). It indicates whether the result was negative
(ALU MSB = 1).
1 = Result was negative
0 = Result was positive
bit 3 OV: Overflow bit
This bit is used for signed arithmetic (2’s complement). It indicates an overflow of the 7-bit magnitude
which causes the sign bit (bit 7) to change state.
1 = Overflo w occurre d for signed arithmetic (in t his arit hmetic operation)
0 = No overflow occurred
bit 2 Z: Zero bit
1 = The result of an arithmetic or logic operation is zero
0 = The result of an arithmetic or logic operation is not zero
bit 1 DC: Di git Carry/borrow bit(1)
For ADDWF, ADDLW, SUBLW and SUBWF instructions:
1 = A carry-out from the 4th low-order bit of the result occurred
0 = No carry-out from the 4th low-order bit of the result
bit 0 C: Carry/borrow bit(2)
For ADDWF, ADDLW, SUBLW and SUBWF instructions:
1 = A carry-out from the Most Significant bit of the result occurred
0 = No carry-out from the Most Significant bit of the result occurred
Note 1: For borrow, the polarity is reversed. A subtraction is executed by adding the 2’s complement of the second
operand. For rotate (RRF, RLF) instructions, this bit is loa ded with either bit 4 or bit 3 of the source register.
2: For borrow, the polarity is reverse d. A subtrac tion is ex ecuted by adding the 2 ’s complement o f the se cond
operand. For rotate (RRF, RLF) instructions, this bit is loaded with either the high or low-order bit of the
source register.

5.4 Data Addressing Modes
The data memory space can be addressed in several
ways. For most instructions, the addressing mode is
fixed. Other instructions may use up to three modes,
dependi ng on whic h operands are us ed and whe ther or
not the extended instruction set is enabled.
The addressing modes are:
Inherent
Literal
•Direct
•Indirect
An additional addressing mode, Indexed Literal Offset,
is available when the extended instruction set is
enabled (XINST Configuration bit = 1). Its operation is
discussed in greater detail in Section 5.5.1 “Indexed
Addressing with Literal Offset”.
5.4.1 INHERENT AND LITERAL
ADDRESSING
Many PIC18 control instructions do not need any
argument at all; they either perform an operation that
globally affects the device or they operate implicitly on
one register . This addressing mode is known as Inherent
Addressing. Examples inc lude SLEEP, RESET and DAW.
Other instructions work in a similar way but require an
additional explicit argument in the opcode. This is
known as Literal Addressing mode because they
require some literal value as an argument. Examples
include ADDLW and MOVLW, which respectively, add or
move a literal value to the W register. Other examples
include CALL and GOTO, which include a 20-bit
program memory address.
5.4.2 DIRECT ADDRESSING
Direct Addressing specifies all or part of the source
and/or destination address of the operation within the
opcode itself. The options are specified by the
arguments accompanying the instruction.
In the co re PIC1 8 inst ruction se t, bit-ori ented and by te-
oriented instructions use some version of Direct
Addressing by default. All of these instructions include
some 8-bit literal address as their Least Significant
Byte. This address specifies either a register address in
one o f the banks of d ata RAM ( Section 5.3.3 “General
Purpose Register File”) or a location in the Access
Bank (Section 5.3.2 “Access Bank”) as the data
source for the instruction.
The A ccess RA M bit, ‘a ’, det ermine s how the addre ss
is interpreted. When ‘a’ is ‘1’, the contents of the BSR
(Section 5.3.1 “Bank Select Register (BSR)”) are
used with the addres s to determ ine the com plete 12-b it
addr ess of t he regis ter. Wh en ‘a’ is 0’, the address is
interpreted as being a register in the Access Bank.
Addressing that uses the Access RAM is sometimes
also known as Direct Forced Addressing mode.
A few instructions, such as MOVFF, include the entire
12-bit address (either source or destination) in their
opcodes. In these cases, the BSR is ignored entirely.
The destin ation of the ope ration’ s result s is determine d
by the desti nation bit, ‘d ’. When ‘d’ is ‘1’, the re sult s a re
stor ed ba ck in th e s o ur c e re g is ter, overw rit i n g i ts or i gi-
nal contents. When ‘d’ is ‘0, the results are stored in
the W register. Instructions without the ‘d’ argument
have a dest ination that is implic it in the inst ruction; their
destination is either the target register being operated
on or the W register.
5.4.3 INDIRECT ADDRESSING
Indirect Addressing allows the user to access a location
in data memory without giving a fixed address in the
instruction. This is done by using File Select Registers
(FSRs) as poin ters to the location s to be read or written
to. Since the FSRs are themselves located in RAM as
Special Function Registers, they can also be directly
manipulated under program control. This makes FSRs
very useful in implementing data structures, such as
tables and arrays in data memory.
The registers for Indirect Addressing are also
implemented with Indirect File Operands (INDFs) that
permit aut omati c mani pulati on of the poi nter val ue wi th
auto-incrementing, auto-decrementing or offsetting
with a not her value. This allo ws for efficient co de, using
loops, such as the example of clearing an entire RAM
bank in Example 5-5.

Note: The execution of some instructions in the
core PIC18 instruction set are changed
when the PIC18 ex tended instruction set is
enabled. See Section 5.5 “Data Memory

5.4.3.1 FSR Regist er s and the
INDF Operand
At the core of Indirect Addressing are three sets of
registers: FSR0, FSR1 and FSR2. Each represents a
pair of 8-bit registers, FSRnH and FSRnL. The four
upper bits of the FSRnH register are not used so each
FSR pair hol ds a 12 -bit valu e. Thi s re prese nts a va lue
that can address the entire range of the data memory
in a linear fashion. The FSR register pairs, then, serve
as pointers to data memory locations.
Indirect Addressing is accomplished with a set of
Indirect File Operands, INDF0 through INDF2. These
can be thought of as “virtual” registers: they are
mapped in the SFR space but are not physically imple-
mented. Reading or writing to a particular INDF register
actually accesses its corresponding FSR register pair.
A read from INDF1, for example, reads the data at the
address indicated by FSR1H :FSR1L. Instructions that
use the INDF registers as operands actually use the
contents of th eir co rrespon ding FS R as a poin ter to th e
instruction’s target. The INDF operand is just a
convenient way of using the pointer.
Because Indirect Addre ssing uses a fu ll 12-bit addr ess,
data RAM banking is not necessary. Thus, the current
contents of the BSR and the Access RAM bit have no
effect on determining the target address.
5.4.3.2 FSR Regis ter s and POST I NC,
POSTDEC, PREINC and PLUSW
In additi on to the INDF o perand, each F SR register p air
also has four additional indirect operands. Like INDF,
these are “virtual” registers that cannot be indirectly
read or written to. Accessing these registers actually
accesses the associated FSR register pair, but also
perfor ms a specific a ction on it s stored val ue. They ar e:
POSTDEC: accesses the FSR value, then
automatically decrements it by 1 afterwards
POSTINC: acces se s the FSR valu e, then
automatically increments it by 1 afterwards
PREINC: increments the FSR value by 1, then
uses it in the operation
PLUSW: adds the signed value of the W register
(range o f -127 to 128) t o that of th e FSR and uses
the new value in the operation.
In this context, accessing an INDF register uses the
value in th e FSR registers with out changing them. Sim -
ilarly, accessing a PLUSW regist er gives th e FSR value
offs et by that in the W registe r; neither v alue is ac tuall y
changed in the operation. Accessing the other virtual
registers changes the value of the FSR registers.
Operations on the FSRs with POSTDEC, POSTINC
and PREINC affect the entire register pair; that is, roll-
overs of the FSRnL register from FFh to 00h carry over
to the FSRnH register. On the other hand, results of
these operations do not change the value of any flags
in the STATUS register (e.g., Z, N, OV, etc.).

PIC18F2525/2620/4525/4620
The PLUSW register can be used to implement a form
of Indexed Addressing in the data memory space. By
manipulating the value in the W register, users can
reach addresses that are fixed offsets from pointer
addresses. In some applications, this can be used to
implement some powerful program control structure,
such as software stacks, inside of data memory.
5.4.3.3 Operations by FSRs on FSRs
Indirect Addressing operations that target other FSRs
or virtual registers represent special cases. For exam-
ple, usin g an FSR to point to on e of the virtual registers
will not result in successful operations. As a specific
case, assume that FSR0H:FSR0L contains FE7h, the
address of INDF1. Attempts to read the value of the
INDF1 using INDF0 as an operand will return 00h.
Attempt s to write to INDF1 using IN DF0 as th e operand
will result in a NOP.
On the other hand, u sing the virtu al reg isters to wr ite to
an F SR p air may n ot oc cur as plan ned. I n t hese cases ,
the val ue will be w ritten to the FSR p air bu t withou t any
incrementing or decrementing. Thus, writing to INDF2
or POSTDEC2 will write the same value to the
FSR2H:FSR2L.
Since the FSRs are physical registers mapped in the
SFR space, they can be manipulated through all direct
operations. Users should proceed cautiously when
working on these registers, particularly if their code
uses Indirect Addressing.
Similarly, operations by Indirect Addressing are gener-
ally permitted on all other SFRs. Users should exercise
the appropriate caution that they do not inadvertently
change settings that might affect the operation of the
device.
5.5 Data Memory and the Extended
Instruction Set
Enabling the PIC18 extended instruction set (XINST
Configuration bit = 1) significantly changes certain
aspects of dat a me mory and it s addres sing. Specifically,
the use of the Access Bank for many of the core PIC18
instructions is different; this is due to the introduction of
a new addressing mode for th e dat a mem ory sp ac e.
What doe s not chan ge is ju st as im po rtant. The size of
the data memory space is unchanged, as well as its
linear addressing. The SFR map remains the same.
Core PIC18 instructions can still operate in both Direct
and Indirect Addressing mode; inherent and literal
instructions do not change at all. Indirect Addressing
with FSR0 and FSR1 also remains unchanged.
5.5.1 INDEXED ADDRESSING WITH
LITERAL OFFSET
Enabling the PIC18 extended instruction set changes
the behavior of Indirect Addressing using the FSR2
register pair within Access RAM. Under the proper
conditions, instructions that use the Access Bank – that
is, most bit-oriented and byte-oriented instructions – can
invoke a form of Indexed Addressing using an offset
specified in the instruction. This special addressing
mode is known as Indexed Addressing with Literal
Of fset, or Indexed Li teral Offset mode.
When using the extended instruction set, this
addressing mode requires the following:
The use of the Access Bank is forced (‘a’ = 0);
and
The f ile ad dres s argument is le ss th an o r e qua l to
5Fh.
Under these conditions, the file address of the instruc-
tion is not interpreted as the lower byte of an address
(used with th e BSR in Direct Addres sing), or as an 8-bit
address in the Access Bank. Instead, the value is
interpreted as an offset value to an Address Pointer,
specified by FSR2. The offset and the contents of
FSR2 are added to obtain the target address of the
operation.
5.5.2 INSTRUCTIONS AFFECTED BY
INDEXED LITERAL OFFSET MODE
Any of the core PIC18 instructions that can use Direct
Addressing are potentially affected by the Indexed
Literal Offset Addressing mode. This includes all
byte-oriented and bit-oriented instructions, or almost
one-half of the standard PIC18 instruction set.
Instruct ions that only use Inherent or Literal Addressing
modes are una ffected.
Additionally, byte-oriented and bit-oriented instructions
are not affected if they do not use the Access Bank
(Access RAM bit is ‘1’), or inc lud e a fi le ad dres s of 60h
or above. Instructions meeting these criteria will
continu e to exec ute as before . A comp aris on of the di f-
ferent possible addressing modes when the extended
instruction set is enabled is shown in Figure 5-8.
Those who desire to use bit-oriented or byte-oriented
instructions in the Indexed Literal Offset mode should
note the changes to assembler syntax for this mode.
This is described in more detail in Section 24.2.1
“Extended Instruction Syntax”.

5.5.3 MAPPING THE ACCESS BANK IN
INDEXED LITERAL OFFSET
ADDRESSING MODE
The use of Indexed Literal Offset Addressing mode
effe ctively chan ges how the first 96 location s of Access
RAM (0 0h to 5Fh ) are mapped . Rat her than con t ai nin g
just the contents of the bottom half of Bank 0, this mode
maps the contents from Bank 0 and a user-defined
“window” that can be located anywhere in the data
memory space. The value of FSR2 establishes the
lower boundary of the addresses mapped into the
window, while the upper boundary is defined by FSR2
plus 95 (5Fh). Addresses in the Access RAM above
5Fh are mapped as previously described (see
Section 5.3.2 “Access Bank”). An example of Access
Bank remapping in this addressing mode is shown in
Figure 5-9.
Remapping of the Access Bank applies only to opera-
tions using the Indexed Literal Offset Addressing
mode. Op erations that use the BSR (Access RAM bit is
1’) will continue to use Direct Addressing as before.
5.6 PIC18 Instruction Execution and
the Extended Instruction Set
Enabling the extended instruction set adds eight
additional commands to the existing PIC18 instruction
set. These instructions are executed as described in

6.0 DATA EEPROM MEMORY
The data EEPROM is a nonvolatile memory array,
separate from the dat a RAM and program memory , that
is used for long-term storage of program data. It is not
directly mapped in either the register file or program
memory space but is indirectly addressed through the
Special Function Registers (SFRs). The EEPROM is
readable and writ able durin g normal ope ration over th e
entire VDD range.
Five SFRs are used to read and write to the data
EEPROM as well as the program memory. They are:
EECON1
EECON2
EEDATA
EEADR
EEADRH
The data EEPROM allows byte read and write. When
interfacing to the data memory block, EEDATA holds
the 8-bit data for read/write and the EEADRH:EEADR
register pair holds the address of the EEPROM location
being accessed.
The EEPROM data memory is rated for high erase/write
cycle endurance. A byte write automatically erases the
location and writes the new data (erase-before-write).
The write time is controlled by an on-chip timer; it will
vary with voltage and temperature as well as from chip
to chip. Please refer to parameter D122 (Table 26-1 in
Section 26.0 “Electrical Characteristics”) for exact
limits.
6.1 EEADR and EEADRH Registers
The EEADRH:EEADR register pair is used to address
the data EEPROM for read and write operations.
EEADRH holds the two MSbits of the address; the
upper 6 bits are ignored. The 10-bit range of the pair
can address a memory range of 1024 bytes (00h to
3FFh).
6.2 EECON1 and EECON2 Registers
Access to the data EEPROM is controlled by two
register s: EECON1 an d EECON2. Thes e are the same
registers which control access to the program memory
and are used in a similar manner for the data
EEPROM.
The EECON1 register (Register 6-1) is the control
register for data and program memory access. Control
bit EEPGD det erm ine s if the access will be to program
or data EEPROM memory. When clear, operations will
access the data EEPROM memory. When set, program
memory is acc essed.
Control bit, CFGS, determines if the access will be to
the Con fig urat ion reg ist ers or to pro gram m em ory /data
EEPROM memory. When set, subsequent operations
access Configuration registers. When CFGS is clear,
the EEPGD bit selects either Flash program or data
EEPROM memory.
The WREN bit, when set, will allow a write operation.
On powe r-up, the WR EN bit is clear. The WRERR bi t is
set in hardware when the WREN bit is set and cleared
when the internal programming timer expires and the
write operation is complete.
The WR control bit initiates write operations. The bit
cannot be cleared, only set, in software; it is cleared in
hardware at the completion of the write operation.
Control bits, RD and WR, start read and erase/write
operat ions, respec tively . These bi ts are set by fi rmware
and cleared by hardware at the completion of the
operation.
The RD bit cannot be set when accessing program
memory (EEPGD = 1). Program memory is read using
table read instructions. See Section 7.1 “Table Reads
and Table Writes” regarding table reads.
The EECON2 register is not a physical register. It is
used exclusively in the memory write and erase
sequences. Reading EECON2 will read all ‘0’s.
Note: During normal operation, the WRERR is
read as ‘1’. This can indicate that a write
operation was prematurely terminated by
a Reset, or a write operation was
attempted improperly.
Note: The EEIF interrupt flag bit (PIR2<4>) is set
when the write is complete. It must be
cleared in software.

PIC18F2525/2620/4525/4620
6.3 Reading the Data EEPROM
Memory
To read a dat a memory location , the user must write the
address to the EEADRH:EEADR register p air , clear the
EEPGD control bit (EECON1<7>) and then set control
bit, RD (EECON1<0>). The data is available on the
very next instruction cycle; therefore, the EEDATA
register can be read by the next instruction. EEDATA
will h old this va lu e un til another read operation, o r unti l
it is written to by the user (during a write operation).
The basic process is shown in Example 6-1.
6.4 Writing to the Data EEPROM
Memory
To write an EEPROM data location, the address must
first be written to the EEADRH:EEADR register pair
and the data written to the EEDATA register. The
sequence in Example 6-2 must be followed to initiate
the write cycle.
The write will not begin if this sequence is not exactly
followed (write 55h to EECON2, write 0AAh to
EECON2, then set WR bit) for each byte. It is strongly
recommended that interrupts be disabled during this
code segment.
Additionally, the WREN bit in EECON1 must be set to
enable writes. This mechanism prevents accidental
writes to data EEPROM due to unexpected code
execution (i.e., runaway programs). The WREN bit
should be ke pt clear at all times , excep t whe n upda tin g
the EEPROM. The WREN bit is not cleared by
hardware.
After a write sequence has been initiated, EECON1,
EEADRH:EEADR and EEDATA cannot be modified.
The WR bit will be inhibited from being set unless the
WREN bit is set. The WREN bit must be set on a
previous instruction. Both WR and WREN cannot be
set wit h the same in struction.
At the completion of the write cycle, the WR bit is
cleared in hardware and the EEPROM Interrupt Flag
bit, EEIF, is set. The user may either enable this
interrupt, or poll this bit. EEIF must be cleared by
software.
6.5 Write Verify
Depending on the application, good programming
practice may dictate that the value written to the mem-
ory should be verified against the original value. This
should be used in applications where excessive writes
can stress bits near the specification limit.

6.6 Operation During Code-Protect
Data EEPROM memory has its own code-protect bits in
Configuration Words. External read and write
operations are disabl ed if code protect ion is enabled.
The mic rocontroll er its elf can bo th read and write to the
internal data EEPROM, regardless of the state of the
code-protect Configuration bit. Refer to Section 23.0
“Special Features of the CPU” for additional
information.
6.7 Protection Against Spurious Write
There are conditions when the device may not want to
write to the data EEPROM memory. To protect against
spurious EEPROM writes, various mechanisms have
been implemented. On power-up, the WREN bit is
cleared. In addition, writes to the EEPROM are bloc ked
during the Power-up Timer period (TPWRT,
parameter 33).
The wri te in iti ate sequence an d the WR EN bi t tog eth er
help prevent an accidental write during Brown-out
Reset, power glitch or software malfunction.
6.8 Using the Data EEPROM
The dat a EEPROM is a hi gh-endurance, by te-address-
able array that has been optimized for the storage of
frequently changing information (e.g., program
variables or other data that are updated often).
Frequently changing values will typically be updated
more often than specification D124. If this is not the
case, an array refresh must be performed. For this
reason, variables that change infrequently (such as
constants, IDs, calibration, etc.) should be stored in

7.0 FLASH PROGRAM MEMORY
The Flash program memory is readable, writable and
erasable during normal operation over the entire VDD
range.
A read from program memory is executed on one byte
at a time. A write to program memory is executed on
blocks of 64 bytes at a time. Program memory is
erased in blocks of 64 bytes at a time. A bulk erase
operation may not be issued from user code.
Writing or erasing program memory will cease
instruction fetches until the operation is complete. The
program memory cannot be accessed during the write
or erase, therefore, code cannot execute. An internal
programming timer terminates program memory writes
and erases.
A value wri tten to program memory does not need to be
a valid instruction. Executing a program memory
location that forms an invalid instruction results in a
NOP.
7.1 Table Reads and Table Writes
In order to read and write program memory, there are
two operations that allow the processor to move bytes
between the program memory space and the data RAM:
Table Read (TBLRD)
Table Write (TBLWT)
The program memory space is 16 bits wide, while the
data RAM space is 8 bits wide. Table reads and table
writes move data between these two memory spaces
through an 8-bit register (TABLAT).
Table read operations retrieve data from program
memory and place it into the data RAM space.
Figure 7-1 shows the operation of a table read with
program memory and data RAM.
Tabl e wr ite op era tions s tor e data from t he da ta memo ry
space into holding registers in program memory. The
procedure to write the contents of the holding registers
into program memory is detailed in Section 7.5 “W riting
to Flash Program Memory”. Figure 7-2 shows the
operation of a table write with program memory and data
RAM.
Table operations work with byte entities. A table block
containing data, rather than program instructions, is not
required to be word aligned. Therefore, a table block can
start and end at any byte address. If a t able write is being
used to write executable code into program memory,
program instructions will need to be word-aligned.

FIGURE 7-2: TABLE WRITE OPERATION
7.2 Control Registers
Several control registers are used in conjunction with
the TBLRD and TBLWT instructions. These include the:
EECON1 register
EECON2 register
TABLAT register
TBLPTR registers
7.2.1 EECON1 AND EECON2 REGISTERS
The EECON1 register (Register 7-1) is the control
register for memory acce sses. The EECON2 register is
not a physical register; it is used exclusively in the
memory write and erase sequences. Reading
EECON2 will read all ‘0’s.
The EEPGD control bit determi nes if th e access will be
a program or data EEPROM memory access. When
clear, any subsequent operations will operate on the
data EEPROM memory. When set, any subsequent
operations will operate on the program memory.
The CFGS control bit determines if the access will be
to the Confi guratio n/Ca librati on regis ter s or to pro gram
memory/data EEPROM memory. When set,
subsequent operations will operate on Configuration
registers regardless of EEPGD (see Section 23.0
“Spe cial Features of th e CPU”). When clea r , memo ry
selection access is determined by EEPGD.
The FREE bit, when set, will allow a program memory
erase operation. When FREE is set, the erase
operation is initiated on the next WR command. When
FREE is clear, only writes are enab led .
The WREN bit, when set, will allow a write operation.
On powe r-up, the WR EN bit is clear. The WRERR bi t is
set in hardware when the WR bit is set and cleared
when the internal programming timer expires and the
write operation is complete.
The WR control bit initiates write operations. The bit
cannot be cleared, only set, in software; it is cleared in
hardware at the completion of the write operation.

when the write is complete. It must be
cleared in software.

7.2.2 TABLAT – TABLE LATCH REGISTER
The Table Latch (TABLAT) is an 8-bit register mapped
into the SFR sp ace. The Table Latch register is us ed to
hold 8-bit data during data transfers between program
memory and data RAM.
7.2.3 TBLPTR – TABLE POINTER
REGISTER
The Table Po in ter (T BLPTR) re gister addresse s a by te
within the progra m memo ry. The TBLPTR i s compr ised
of three SFR regis ters: Table Po inter Uppe r Byte, Tabl e
Pointer High Byte and Table Pointer Low Byte
(TBLPTRU:TBLPTRH:TBLPTRL). These three regis-
ters join to form a 22-bit wide pointer. The low-order
21 bits allow the device to address up to 2 Mbytes of
progra m memory sp ace. Th e 22nd b it allow s acce ss to
the Device ID, the user ID and the Configuration bits.
The Table Pointer register, TBLPTR, is used by the
TBLRD and TBLWT ins t ru cti ons . T hes e i ns truc tio ns ca n
update the TBLPTR in one of four ways based on the
table operation. These operations are shown in
Table 7-1. These opera tions on the TBLPT R only affec t
the low-orde r 21 bits.
7.2.4 TAB LE POINTE R BOUNDARI ES
TBLPTR is used in reads, writes and erases of the
Flash program memory.
When a TBLRD is ex ecut ed , al l 22 bits of th e T BLPT R
determine which byte is read from program memory
into TABLAT.
When a TBLWT is executed, the six LSbs of the Table
Pointer register (TBLPTR<5:0>) determine which of the
64 program memory holding registers is written to.
When the timed write to program memory begins (via
the WR bit), the 16 MSbs of the TBLPTR
(TBLPTR<21:6>) determine which program memory
block of 64 bytes is written to. For more detail, see
Section 7.5 “Writing to Flash Program Memory”.
When an erase of program memory is executed, the
16 MSbs of the Table Po inter register (TBLPTR <21:6>)
point to the 64-byte block that will be erased. The Least
Significant bits (TBLPTR<5:0>) are ignored.
Figure 7-3 describes the relevant boundaries of
TBLPTR based on Flash program memory operations.

7.3 Reading the Flash Program
Memory
The TBLRD instruction is used to retrieve data from
program memory and places it into data RAM. Table
reads fro m program memory are pe rformed one byte at
a time.
TBLPTR points to a byte address in program space.
Executing TBLRD places the byte pointed to into
TABLAT. In addition, TBLPTR can be modified
automatically for the next table read operation.
The interna l program memory is typically org anized by
words. The Least Significant b it of th e address selects
between the high and low bytes of the word. Figure 7-4
shows the interface between the internal program
memory and the TABLAT.

7.4 Erasing Flash Program Memory
The mi nimum eras e block is 32 words or 64 byte s. Only
through the use of an external programmer, or through
ICSP control, can larger blocks of program memory be
bulk erased. Word erase in the Flash array is not
supported.
When initiating an erase sequence from the micro-
controll er itsel f, a block of 64 bytes of program me mory
is erased. The Most Significant 16 bits of the
TBLPTR<21:6> point to the block being erased.
TBLPTR<5 :0> are ign ored .
The EECON1 regis te r com ma nds the era se opera tio n.
The EEPGD bit must be set to point to the Flash
program m emory. The WREN bit must be set to enable
write op erations. The FREE bit i s set to selec t an erase
operation.
For protec tio n, t he w ri te i ni tiat e s equ enc e f or EEC ON 2
must be used.
A long w rite i s nec essary for erasing th e i nternal Fl ash.
Instruction execution is halted while in a long write
cycle. The long write will be terminated by the internal
program ming timer.
7.4.1 FLASH PROGRAM MEMORY
ERASE SEQUENCE
The sequence of events for erasing a block of internal
program memory location is:
1. Load Table Pointer register with address of row
being erased.
2. Set the EECON1 register for the erase operation:
set EEPGD bit to point to program memory;
clear the CFGS bit to access program memory;
set WREN bit to enable writes;
set FREE bit to enable the erase.
3. Disable int errup ts.
4. Write 55h to EECON2.
5. Write 0AAh to EECON2.
6. Set the WR bit. This will begin the row erase
cycle.
7. The CPU will stall for duration of the erase
(about 2 ms using internal timer).
8. Re-enable interrupts.

7.5 Writing to Flash Program Memory
The minimum programming block is 32 words or
64 bytes. Word or byte programming is not supported.
Table writes are used internally to load the holding
registers needed to program the Flash memory. There
are 64 holding registers used by the table writes for
programming.
Since the Table Latch (TABLAT) is only a single byte,
the TBLWT instruction may need to be executed
64 times for each programming operation. All of the
table write operations will essentially be short writes
becau se only t he holding registers are writt en. At the en d
of updating the 64 holding registers, the EECON1
register must be written to in order to start the
prog ra mm i ng op eration w i th a l on g write.
The long write is necessary for programming the
internal Flash. Ins tructio n execu tion is halted whil e in a
long write cycle. The long write will be terminated by
the internal programming timer.
The EEPROM on-chip timer controls the write time.
The write/erase voltages are generated by an on-chip
charge pump, rated to operate over the voltage range
of the device.
FIGURE 7-5: TABLE WRITES TO FLAS H PROGRAM MEMORY
7.5.1 FLASH PROGRAM MEMORY
WRITE SEQUENCE
The sequence of events for programming an internal
program memory location shoul d be:
1. Read 64 bytes int o RAM.
2. Update data values in RAM as necessary.
3. Load Table Pointer register with address being
erased.
4. Execute the row erase procedure.
5. Load Table Pointer register with address of first
byte being written.
6. Write the 64 by tes in to the hold ing reg isters with
auto-increment.
7. Set the EECON 1 register for the wri te operation:
set EEPGD bit to point to program memory;
clear the CFGS bit to access program memory;
set WREN to enable byte writes.
8. Disable int errup ts.
9. Write 55h to EECON2.
10. Write 0AAh to EECON2.
11. Set the WR bit. This will beg in the write cy cl e.
12. The CPU w ill st all fo r duration of the write (a bout
2 ms using internal timer).
13. Re-enable interrupts.
14. Verify the memory (table read).
This procedure will require about 6 ms to update one
row of 64 bytes of memory. An example of the required
code is given in Example 7-3.
Note: The default value of the holding registers on
device Resets and aft er write op eratio ns is
FFh. A write of FFh to a holding register
does not modi fy th at byt e. Thi s mea ns th at
individual bytes of program memory may be
modified, provided that the change does not
attemp t to cha nge an y bi t from a ‘0’ to a ‘1’.
When modifying individual bytes, it is not
necessary to load all 64 holding registers
before ex ec u t in g a write o pe rat io n.

EXAMPLE 7-3: WRITING TO FLASH PROGRAM MEMORY (CONTINUED)
7.5.2 WRITE VERIFY
Depending on the application, good programming
practice may dictate that the value written to the
memory should be verified against the original value.
This should be used in applications where excessive
writes can stress bits near the specification limit.
7.5.3 UNEXPECTED TERMINATION OF
WRITE OPERATION
If a wri te is term in ate d by an unpl an ned ev en t, s uc h a s
loss of power or an unexpected Reset, the memory
locatio n jus t progra mmed shou ld be verifi ed and repr o-
gramme d if needed. If t he write operatio n is interrupte d
by a MCLR Reset or a WDT Time-out Reset during
normal operation, the user can check the WRERR bit
and rewrite the location(s) as needed.
7.5.4 PROTECTION AGAINST
SPURIOUS WRITES
To protect against spurious writes to Flash program
memory, the write initiate sequence must also be
followed. See Section 23.0 “Special Features of
the CPU” for more detail.

8.0 8 x 8 HARDWARE MULTIPLIER
8.1 Introduction
All PIC18 devices include an 8 x 8 hardware multiplier
as part of the ALU. The multiplier performs an unsigned
operation and yields a 16-bit result that is stored in the
product register pair, PRODH:PRODL. The multiplier’s
operation does not affect any flags in the STATUS
register.
Making multiplication a hardware operation allows it to
be com pl eted i n a single ins tru ction cycl e. Thi s has th e
advantages of higher computational throughput and
reduced code size for multiplication algorithms and
allows the PIC18 devices to be used in many applica-
tions previously reserved for digital signal processors.
A comparison of various hardware and software
multiply operations, along with the savings in memory
and execution time, is shown in Table 8-1.
8.2 Operation
Example 8-1 shows the instruction seq uence for an 8 x 8
unsigned multiplication. Only one instruction is required
when one of the arguments is already loaded in the
WREG regis ter.
Exampl e 8-2 shows the sequence t o do an 8 x 8 signed
multiplication. To account for the sign bits of the
argumen ts, e ach argu ment’ s Most Si gnifican t bit (MSb)
is tested and the appropriate subtractions are done.

9.0 I/O PORTS
Depending on the device selected and features
enabled, there are up to five ports available. Some pins
of the I/O ports are multiplexed with an alternate
function from the peripheral features on the device. In
general, when a perip heral is ena bled, that pi n may not
be used as a general purpose I/O pin.
Each port has three registers for its operation. These
registers are:
TRIS register (data direction register)
POR T register (rea ds the lev els on the pin s of the
device)
LAT register (output latch)
The Dat a Latch (LAT register ) is useful for read -modify-
write operations on the value that the I/O pins are
driving.
A simplified model of a generic I/O port, without the
interfaces to other peripherals, is shown in Figure 9-1.
FIGURE 9-1: GENERIC I/O PORT
OPERATION
9.1 PORTA, TRISA and LATA Registers
PORTA is a 8-bit wide, bidirectional port. The corre-
sponding Data Direction register is TRISA. Setting a
TRISA bit (= 1) will make th e corresponding PORT A pin
an input (i.e., put the corresponding output driver in a
high-impedance mode). Clearing a TRISA bit (= 0) wi ll
make the correspon ding POR TA pin an output (i.e., put
the contents of the output latch on the selected pin).
Reading the PORTA register reads the status of the
pins, whereas writing to it, will write to the port latch.
The Data La tch (LA TA) register is also memory m apped.
Read-modify-write operations on the LATA register read
and write the latched output valu e for PORTA.
The RA4 pin is multiplexed with the Timer0 module
clock input and one of the comparator outputs to
become the RA4/T0CKI/C1OUT pin. Pins RA6 and
RA7 are multiplexed with the main oscillator pins; they
are enabled as oscillator or I/O pins by the selection of
the main oscillator in the Configuration register (see
Section 23.1 “Configuration Bits” for details). When
they are not used as port pins, RA6 and RA7 and their
associated TRIS and LAT bits are read as ‘0’.
The other PORTA pins are multiplexed with analog
inputs, the analog VREF+ and VREF- inputs and the
comparator voltage reference output. The oper ation of
pins RA3:RA0 and RA5 as A/D converter inputs is
selected by clearing or setting the control bits in the
ADCON1 register (A/D Control Register 1).
Pins RA0 through RA5 may also be used as comparator
inputs or outputs by setting the appropriate bits in the
CMC ON re gist er. To use RA3:RA 0 as di gital inputs , it is
also necessary to turn off the comparators.
The R A4 / T0 CK I /C 1O UT pi n is a S c hm itt Trigg e r in p ut .
All other PO RT A pi ns have TTL in put levels. All POR T A
pins have full CMOS output drivers.
The TR ISA register contro ls the direc tion of the PO RT A
pins, ev en w he n th ey a re being used as ana log inputs .
The user mu st ensure the bit s in the TRISA registe r are
maintained set when using them as analog inputs.

9.2 PORTB, TRISB and LATB
Registers
PORTB is an 8-bit wide, bidirectional port. The
corresponding Data Direction register is TRISB. Setting
a TRISB bit (= 1) will make the corresponding PORTB
pin an input (i.e., put the corresponding output driver in
a high-impedance mode). Clearing a TRISB bit (= 0)
will make th e corresp onding POR TB pi n an out put (i.e .,
put the contents of the output latch on the selected pin).
The Data Latch register (LATB) is also memory
mapped. Read-modify-write operations on the LATB
register read and write the latched output value for
PORTB.
EXAMPLE 9-2: INITIALIZING PORTB
Each of th e POR TB pins has a we ak inte rnal pul l-up. A
single control bit can turn on all the pull-ups. This is
performed by clearing bit, RBPU (INTCON2<7>). The
weak pull-up is automatically turned off when the port
pin is configured as an output. The pull-ups are
disabled on a Power-on Reset.
Four of the PORTB pins (RB7:RB4) have an interrupt-
on-change feature. Only pins configured as inputs can
cause this interrupt to occur (i.e., any RB7:RB4 pin
configured as an output is excluded from the interrupt-
on-change comparison). The input pins (of RB7:RB4)
are compared with the old value latched on the last
read of PORTB. The “mismatch” outputs of RB7:RB4
are ORed together to generate the RB Port Change
Interrupt with Flag bit, RBIF (INTCON<0>).
This interrupt can wake the device from the Sleep
mode, or any of the Idle modes. The user, in the
Interrupt Service Routine, can clear the interrupt in the
following manner:
a) Any read or write of PORTB (except with the
MOVFF (ANY), PORTB instruction).
b) 1 TCY.
c) Clear flag bit, RBIF.
A mismatc h condit ion wil l contin ue to set flag bit , RBIF.
Reading PORTB and waiting 1 TCY will end the
mismatch condition and allow flag bit, RBIF, to be
cleared.
The interrupt-on-change feature is recommended for
wake-up on key depression operation and operations
where PORTB is only used for the interrupt-on-change
feature. Polling of PORTB is not recommended while
using the interrupt-on-change feature.
RB3 can be configured by the Configuration bit,
CCP2MX, as the alternate peripheral pin for the CCP2
module (CCP2MX = 0).
Note: On a Power-on Reset, RB4:RB0 are
configu red as analog inp uts by defau lt and
read as ‘0’; RB7:RB5 are configured as
digital inputs.
By programming the Configuration bit,
PBADEN, RB4:RB0 will alternatively be
configured as digital inputs on POR.

9.3 PORTC, TRISC and LATC
Registers
PORTC is an 8-bit wide, bidirectional port. The
corresponding Data Direction register is TRISC. Set-
ting a TRISC bit (= 1) will make the corresponding
PORTC pin an i nput (i.e., pu t th e corresp on din g o utp ut
driver in a high-impedance mode). Clearing a TRISC
bit (= 0) will make the corresponding PORTC pin an
output (i.e., put the contents of the output latch on the
selected pin).
The Data Latch register (LATC) is also memory
mapped. Read-modify-write operations on the LATC
register read and write the latched output value for
PORTC.
PORT C is multip lexed with s everal periphe ral function s
(Table 9-5). The pins have Schmitt Trigger input
buffers. RC1 is normally configured by Configuration
bit, CCP2 MX, as th e default p eripheral pin of the CCP2
module (default/erased state, CCP2MX = 1).
When enabling peripheral functions, care should be
taken in defining TRIS bits for each PORTC pin. Some
peripherals override the TRIS bit to make a pin an output,
while other peripherals override the TRIS bit to make a
pin an input. The user should refer to the corresponding
periph eral se ctio n for addi tion al info rmati on.
The contents of the TRISC register are affected by
peripheral overrides. Reading TRISC always returns
the current contents, even though a peripheral device
may be overriding one or more of the pins.

All pi ns on POR TD are im plemente d with Schmi tt T rigger
input buffers. Eac h pin is indi vidu ally c onfi gurab le as an

Three of the PORTD pins are multiplexed with outputs
P1B, P1C and P1D of the Enhanc ed CCP modu le. The
operation of these additional PWM output pins is
covered in greater detail in Section 16.0 “Enhanced
Capture/Compare/PWM (ECCP) Module”.
POR TD can also be co nfigured as a n 8 - bit w id e m ic ro-
processor port (Parallel Slave Port) by setting control
bit, PSPMODE (TRISE<4>). In this mode, the input
buffers are TTL. See Section 9.6 “Parallel Slave
Port” for additional information on the Parallel Slave
Port (PSP).
EXAMPLE 9-4: INITIALIZING PORTD
Note: PORTD is only available on 40/44-pin
devices.
Note: On a Power-on Reset, these pins are
configured as digital inputs.
Note: When the Enhanced PWM mode is used
with either dual or quad outputs, the PSP
functions of PORTD are automatically
disabled.

9.5 PORTE, TRISE and LATE
Registers
Depending on the particular PIC18F2525/2620/4525/
4620 device selected, PORTE is implemented in two
different ways.
For 40/44-pin devices, PORTE is a 4-bit wide port.
Thre e pi n s (RE 0 /R D/AN5, RE1/WR/AN6 and RE2/CS/
AN7) are i ndi vi dually con fig urab le as i nputs or outp uts.
These pins have Schmitt Trigger input buffers. When
select ed as an analog input, these pins will read as ‘0’s.
The corresponding Data Direction register is TRISE.
Setting a TRISE bit (= 1) will make the corresponding
PORT E pin a n in put (i.e., put the correspo ndi ng outp ut
driver in a high-impedance mode). Clearing a TRISE bit
(= 0) will make the correspond ing POR TE pin an o utput
(i.e., pu t the co ntents o f the output latch on the selecte d
pin).
TRISE controls the direction of the RE pins, even when
they are being used as analog inputs. The user must
make sure to keep the pins configured as inputs when
using them as analog inputs.
The upper four bits of the TRISE register also control
the operati on of the Parallel Slav e Port. Their operatio n
is explained in Register 9-1.
The Data Latch register (LATE) is also memory
mapped. Read-modify-write operations on the LATE
register, read and write the latched output value for
PORTE.
The fourth pin of PORTE (MCLR/VPP/RE3) is an input
only pin. Its operation is controlled by the MCLRE Con-
figuration bit. When selected as a port pin (MCLRE = 0),
it functions as a dig ital input only pin ; as such, it doe s not
have TRIS or LAT bits associated with its operation.
Otherwise, it functions as the device’s Master Clear
input. In either configuration, RE3 also functions as the
programming volt age input during programming.
EXAMPLE 9-5: INITIALIZING PORTE
9.5.1 PORTE IN 28-PIN DEVICES
For 28-pin devices, PORTE is only available when
Master Clear functionality is disabled (MCLRE = 0). In
these cases, PORTE is a single bit, input only port
compris ed of R E3 onl y. The pin op era t es as previousl y
described.
Note: On a Power-on Reset, RE2:RE0 are
configured as analog inputs.
Note: On a Pow er- on Re set, RE3 i s enab led as
a digital input only if Master Clear
functionality is disabled.

9.6 Parallel Slave Port
In addition to its function as a general I/O port, PORTD
can also operate as an 8-bit wide Parallel Slave Port
(PSP) or microprocessor port. PSP operation is
controlled by the 4 upper bits of the TRISE register
(Register 9-1). Setting control bit, PSPMODE
(TRISE<4>), enables PSP operation as long as the
Enhanced CCP module is not operating in dual output
or quad output PWM mode. In Slave mode, the port is
asynchronously readable and writable by the external
world.
The PSP can directly interface to an 8-bit micro-
processor data bus. The external microprocessor can
read or write the POR TD latch a s an 8-bit latc h. Setting
the control bit, PSPMODE, enables the PORTE I/O
pins to become control inputs for the microprocessor
port. When set, port pin RE0 is th e RD input, RE1 is the
WR input and RE2 is the CS (Chip Select) input. For
this functionality, the corresponding data direction bits
of the TRISE register (TRISE<2:0>) must be config-
ured as inputs (set). The A/D port configuration bits,
PFCG3:PFCG0 (ADCON1<3:0>), must also be set to a
value in the range of1010’ through ‘1111’.
A write to the PSP occurs when both the CS and WR
lines are first detected low and ends when either are
detecte d high. The PSPIF and IBF fla g bits are both set
when the write ends.
A read from t he PSP occurs when both the CS and RD
lines are first detected low. The data in PORTD is read
out and the O BF bit is c lear. If the user writes new da t a
to POR TD to set OBF, the dat a is imme diately read ou t;
however, the OBF bit is not set.
When either the CS or RD lines are detected high, the
PORT D pins retu rn to the inpu t sta te and th e PSPIF bit
is set. Use r applications should wai t for PSPIF to be set
before servicing the PSP; when this happens, the IBF
and OBF bits can be polled and the appropriate action
taken.
The timing for the control signals in Write and Read
modes is shown in Figure 9-3 and Figure 9-4,
respectively.

10.0 INTERRUPTS
The PIC18F2525/2620/4525/4620 devices have
multiple interrupt sources and an interrupt priority
feature that allows most interrupt sources to be
assign ed a high-priority level or a lo w-priority level. The
high-priority interrupt vector is at 0008h and the low-
priority interrupt vector is at 0018h. High-priority
interrupt events will interrupt any low-priority interrupts
that may be in progress.
There are ten registers which are used to control
interrupt operation. These registers are:
RCON
•INTCON
INTCON2
INTCON3
PIR1, PIR2
PIE1, PIE2
IPR1, IPR2
It is recommended that the Microchip header files
suppli ed with MP LAB® IDE be used fo r the symb olic bit
names in these registers. This allows the assembler/
compil er to automa tical ly ta ke care of the pla ceme nt of
these bits within the specified register.
In ge nera l, in terru pt so urces have thre e bits to cont rol
their operation. They are:
Flag bit to indicate that an interrupt event
occurred
Enable bit that allows program execution to
branch to the interrupt vector address when the
flag bit is set
Priority bit to select high priority or low priority
The interrupt priority feature is enabled by setting the
IPEN bit (RCON<7>). When interrupt priority is
enabled, there are two bits which enable interrupts
globall y. Setting the GIEH bit (INTCON <7>) enable s all
interrupts that have the priority bit set (high priority).
Setting the GIEL bit (INTCON<6>) enables all
inter rupts that have the pr iority b it cleare d (low prio rity).
When the interrupt flag, enable bit and appropriate
global int errupt enab le bit are set, the interrup t will vec-
tor imm ediate ly to address 000 8h or 0018h, depen ding
on the priority bit setting. Individual interrupts can be
disabled through their corresponding enable bits.
When the IPEN bit is cleared (default state), the
interrupt priority feature is disabled and interrupts are
compatible with PIC® mid-range devices. In
Compatibility mode, the interrupt priority bits for each
source have no effect. INTCON<6> is the PEIE bit,
which ena bles/disab les all periph eral interrupt sourc es.
INTCON<7> is the GIE bit, which enables/disables all
interrupt sources. All interrupts branch to address
0008h in Compatibility mode.
When an interrupt is responded to, the global interrupt
enable bit is cleared to disable further interrupts. If the
IPEN bit is clear ed, this is the GIE bit. If interrupt priority
levels are used, this will be either the GIEH or GIEL bit.
High-priority interrupt sources can interrupt a low-
priority interrupt. Low-priority interrupts are not
proce ssed while high-priori ty interrupt s are in progre ss.
The return address is pushed onto the stack and the
PC is loaded with the interrupt vector address (0008h
or 0018h). Once in the Interrupt Service Routine, the
source(s) of the interrupt can be determined by polling
the interrupt flag bits. The interrupt flag bits must be
cleared in software before re-enabling interrupts to
avoid recursive interrupts.
The “return from interrupt” instruction, RETFIE, exits
the interrup t routine and set s the GIE bit (GIEH or GI EL
if priority levels are used), which re-enables interrupts.
For external interrupt events, such as the INTx pins or
the POR TB input chang e interrupt, the i nterrupt latenc y
will be three to four instruction cycles. The exact
latency is the same for one or two-cycle instructions.
Individual interrupt flag bits are set, regardless of the
status of their corresponding enable bit or the GIE bit.
Note: Do not use the MOVFF instruction to modify
any of the interrupt control registers while
any interrupt is enabled. Doing so may
cause erratic microcontroller behavior.

Note 1: Interrupt flag bit s are set when an interrupt
condition occurs, regardless of the state of
its corresponding enable bit or the Global
Interrupt Enable bit, GIE (INTCON<7>).
2: User software s hould ensure the approp ri-
ate interrupt flag bits are cleared prior to
enabling an interrupt and after servicing
that interrupt.

10.6 INTx Pin Interrupts
External interrupts on the RB0/INT0, RB1/INT1 and
RB2/INT2 p ins are edge-triggered. If the corresponding
INTEDGx bit in the INTCON2 register is set (= 1), the
interrupt is triggered by a rising edge; if the bit is clear,
the trigger is on the falling edge. When a valid edge
appears on the RBx/INTx pin, the corresponding flag
bit, INTxIF, is set. This interrupt can be disabled by
clearin g th e c orre spo nd ing ena bl e bi t, IN T xIE. Fla g bi t,
INTxIF, must be cleared in software in the Interrupt
Service Routine before re-enabling the interrupt.
All extern al interrupt s (INT0, INT1 an d INT2) can wake-
up the proces sor from Idle or Sleep mo des if bit INTx IE
was set prior to going into those modes. If the Global
Interrupt Enable bit, GIE, is set, the processor will
branch to the interrupt vector following wake-up.
Interrupt priority for INT1 and INT2 is determined by
the value contained in the interrupt priority bits,
INT1IP (INTCON3<6>) and INT2IP (INTCON3<7>).
There is no priority bit associated with INT0. It is
always a hig h-pr iori ty int erru pt source .
10.7 TMR0 Interrupt
In 8-b it mod e (whic h is the de faul t), a n overfl ow in t he
TMR0 register (FFh 00h) wil l set flag bit, TM R0IF. In
16-bit mode, an overflow in the TMR0H:TMR0L
register pair (FFFFh 0000h) will set TMR0IF. The
interrupt can be enabled/disabled by setting/clearing
enable bi t, TMR0IE (INTCON< 5>). In terru pt prio rity for
Timer0 is determined by the value contained in the
interrupt priority bit, TMR0IP (INTCON2<2>). See
Section 11.0 “Timer0 Module” for further details on
the Timer0 module.
10.8 PORTB Interrupt-on-Change
An input change on PORTB<7:4> sets flag bit, RBIF
(INTCON<0>). The interrupt can be enabled/disabled
by setting/clearing enable bit, RBIE (INTCON<3>).
Interrupt priority for PORTB interrupt-on-change is
determined by the value contained in the interrupt
priority bit, RBIP (INTCON2<0>).
10.9 Context Savi ng During Int errupt s
During interrupts, the return PC address is saved on
the stack. Additionally, the WREG, STATUS and BSR
registers are saved on the Fast Return Stack. If a fast
return from interrupt is not used (see Section 5.3
“Data Memory Organization”), the user may need to
save t he WREG, STATUS and BSR r egiste rs on ent ry
to the Interrupt Service Routine. Depending on the
user’s application, other registers may also need to be
saved. Example 10-1 saves and restores the WREG,
STATUS and BSR regis ters during an In terrupt Service
Routine.

11.0 TIMER0 MODULE
The T imer0 module incorpo rates the following features:
Software selectable operation as a timer or
counter in both 8-bit or 16-bit modes
Readable and writable registers
Dedicated 8-bit, software programmable
prescaler
Selectable clock source (inte rnal or external)
Edge select for external clock
Interrupt-on-overflow
The T0CON register (Register 11-1) controls all
aspects of the module’s operation, including the
prescale selection. It is both readable and writable.
A simplified block diagram of the Timer0 m odule in 8-bit

11.1 Timer0 Operation
Timer0 can operate as either a timer or a counter; the
mode is selected with the T0CS bit (T0CON<5>). In
Timer mode (T0CS = 0), the module increments on
every clock by default unless a dif ferent prescaler value
is selected (see Section 11.3 “Prescaler”). If the
TMR0 register is written to, the increment is inhibited
for the following two instruction cycles. The user can
work around this by writing an adjusted value to the
TMR0 register.
The Counter mode is selected by setting the T0CS bit
(= 1). In this mode, Timer0 increments either on every
rising or falling edge of pin RA4/T0CKI/C1OUT. The
increm enting edg e is determin ed by the T imer0 Sourc e
Edge Select bit, T0SE (T0CON<4>); clearing this bit
selects the rising edge. Restrictions on the external
clock input are dis cuss ed below.
An external clock source can be used to drive Timer0;
however, it must meet certain requirements to ensure
that the external clock can be synchronized with the
internal phase clock (TOSC). There is a delay between
synchronization and the onset of incrementing the
timer/counter.
11.2 Timer0 Reads and Wri tes in
16-Bit Mode
TMR0H is not the actual high byte of Timer0 in 16-bit
mode; it is actually a buffered version of the real high
byte of Timer0 which is not directly readable nor
writable (refer to Figure 11-2). TMR0H is updated with
the conte nts of the h igh by te of Timer0 durin g a r ead of
TMR0L. This provides the ability to read all 16 bits of
T imer 0 without havi ng to verify tha t the read of the hig h
and low byte were valid, due to a rollover between
successive reads of the high and low byte.
Similarly, a write to the high byte of Timer0 must also
take place through the TMR0H Buffer register . The hig h
byte is updated with the contents of TMR0H when a
write o ccurs to TMR0L. Th is allows all 16 bits o f T ime r0
to be updated at once.

11.3 Prescaler
An 8-bi t counter i s availabl e as a presc aler for the T imer0
module. The prescaler is not directly readable or writable;
its value is set by the PSA and T0PS2:T0PS0 bits
(T0CON<3:0>) which determine the prescaler
assi gnment and pres ca le ratio.
Clearing the PSA bit assigns the prescaler to the
Timer0 module. When it is assigned, prescale values
from 1:2 through 1:256 in power-of-2 increments are
selectable.
When assigned to the Timer0 module, all instructions
writing to the TMR0 register (e.g., CLRF TMR0, MOVWF
TMR0, BSF TMR0, etc.) clear the prescaler count.
11.3.1 SW ITCHI NG PRESC ALER
ASSIGNMENT
The prescaler assignment is fully under software
control and can be changed “on-the-fly” during program
execution.
11.4 Timer0 Int e rr u p t
The TMR0 interrupt is generated when the TMR0
register overflows from FFh to 00h in 8-bit mode, or
from FFFFh to 0000h in 16-bit mode. This overflow set s
the TMR0IF flag bit. The interrupt can be masked by
clearing the TMR0IE bit (INTCON<5>). Before re-
enabling the interrupt, the TMR0IF bit must be cleared
in software by the Interrupt Service Routine.
Since Timer0 is shut down in Sleep mode, the TMR0
interrupt cannot awaken the processor from Sleep.
TABLE 11-1: REGISTERS ASSOCIATED WITH TIMER0
Note: Writing to TMR0 when the prescaler is
assign ed to Tim er0 will clear th e pr escal er
count but will not change the prescaler
assignment.

12.0 TIMER1 MODULE
The Timer1 timer/counter module incorporates these
features:
Software selectable operation as a 16-bit timer or
counter
Readable and writable 8-bit registers (TMR1H
and TMR1L)
Selectable clock source (internal or external) with
device clock or Timer1 oscillator internal options
Interrupt-on-overflow
Reset on CCP Special Event Trigger
Device clock status flag (T1RUN)
A simplified block diagram of the Timer1 module is
shown in Fi gure 12-1. A bl ock diagram of the mod ule s
operatio n in Read /Wr ite mode is shown in Fig ure 12-2.
The module incorporates its own low-power oscillator
to provide an additional clocking option. The Timer1
oscillator can also be used as a low-power clock source
for the microcontroller in power-managed operation.
Timer1 can also be used to provide Real-Time Clock
(RTC) functionality to applications with only a minimal
addition of external components and code overhead.
Timer1 is controlled through the T1CON Control
register (Register 12-1). It also contains the Timer1
Oscillator Enable bit (T1OSCEN). Timer1 can be
enabled or disabled by setting or clearing control bit,
TMR1ON (T1CON<0>).

12.1 Timer1 Operation
Timer1 can operate in one of these modes:
•Timer
Synchronous Counter
Asynchronous Counter
The operating mode is determined by the clock select
bit, TMR1CS (T1CON<1>). When TMR3CS is cleared
(= 0), Timer1 increments on every internal instruction
cycle (Fosc/4). When the bit is set, Ti mer1 increments
on every rising edge of the Timer1 external clock input
or the Timer1 oscillator, if enabled.
When Timer1 is enabled, the RC1/T1OSI and RC0/
T1OSO/T13CKI pins become inputs. This means the
values of TRISC<1:0> are ignored and the pins are
read as 0’.

12.2 Timer1 16-Bit Read/Write Mode
Timer1 can be configured for 16-bit reads and writes
(see Figure 12-2). When the RD16 control bit
(T1CON< 7>) is set, the add ress fo r TMR1H is mappe d
to a buffer r egist er fo r the high b yte o f Timer1. A read
from TMR1L will load the contents of the high byte of
Timer1 into the Timer1 high byte buffer. This provides
the user with the ability to accurately read all 16 bits of
Timer1 without having to determine whether a read of
the high byte, followed by a read of the low byte, has
become invalid due to a rollover between reads.
A write to the high byte of Timer1 must also take place
through the TMR1H Buffer register. The Timer1 high
byte is updated with the contents of TMR1H when a
write occurs to TMR1L. This allows a user to write all
16 bit s to both the high and l ow bytes of Ti mer1 at once.
The high byte of Timer1 is not directly readable or
writable in this mode. All reads and writes must take
place through the Timer1 High Byte Buffer register.
Writes to TMR1H do not clear the Timer1 prescaler.
The prescaler is only cleared on writes to TMR1L.
12.3 Timer1 Oscillator
An on-chip crystal oscillator circuit is incorporated
between pins T1OSI (input) and T1OSO (amplifier
output). It is enabled by setting the Timer1 Oscillator
Enable b it, T 1O SC EN (T1C O N<3 >). Th e o sc ill ato r is a
low-power circuit rated for 32 kHz crystals. It will
continue to run during all power-managed modes. The
circuit for a typical LP oscillator is shown in Figure 12-3.
Table 12-1 shows the capacitor selection for the Timer1
oscillator.
The user m us t prov id e a so ftware tim e de lay to en su re
proper start-up of the Timer1 oscillator.

FOR THE TIMER1
LP OSCILLATOR
T ABLE 12-1: CAPACITOR SELECTION FOR
THE TIMER OSCILLATOR
12.3.1 USING TIMER1 AS A
CLOCK SOURCE
The T imer1 oscillator is also available as a clock source
in po wer-man aged mode s. By s etting t he cloc k select
bits, SCS1:SCS0 (OSCCON<1:0>), to ‘01’, th e d evi ce
switches to SEC_RUN mode; both the CPU and
periphera ls are clocked from the T imer1 oscillator . If the
IDLEN bit (OSCCON<7>) is cleared and a SLEEP
instruction is executed, the device enters SEC_IDLE
mode. Additional details are available in Section 3.0
“Power -Mana ged Mod es .
Whenever the Timer1 oscillator is providing the clock
source, the Timer1 system clock status flag, T1RUN
(T1CON< 6>), is set. Th is can be us ed to determi ne the
controller s current clocking mode. It can also indicate
the clock source being currently used by the Fail-Safe
Clock Monitor. If the Clock Monitor is enabled and the
Timer1 oscillator fails while providing the clock, polling
the T1RUN bit will indicate wheth er the clock i s being
provided by the Timer1 oscillator or another source.
12.3.2 LOW-POWER TIMER1 OPTION
The Timer1 oscillator can operate at two distinct levels
of power consumption based on device configuration.
When the LPT1OSC Configuration bit is set, the Timer1
oscillator operates in a low-power mode. When
LPT1OSC is not set, Timer1 operates at a highe r power
level. Power consumption for a particular mode is
relative ly consta nt, regardless of the de vice’s operatin g
mode. The default Timer1 configuration is the higher
power mode.
As the low-power Timer1 mode tends to be more
sensitive to interference, high noise environments may
cause some oscillator instability . The low-power option is,
therefore, best suited for low noise applications where
power conservation is an important design consideration.
Note: See the Notes with Table 12-1 for additional
information about capacitor selection.

12.3.3 TIMER1 OSCILLATOR LAYOUT
CONSIDERATIONS
The Timer1 oscillator circuit draws very little power
during operation. Due to the low-power nature of the
oscillator, it may also be sensitive to rapidly changing
signals in close proximity.
The oscillator circuit, shown in Figure 12-3, should be
located as close as possible to the microcontroller.
There should be no circuits passing within the oscillator
circuit boundaries other than VSS or VDD.
If a high-speed circuit must be located near the
oscillator (such as the CCP1 pin in Output Compare or
PWM mode, or the primary oscillator using the OSC2
pin), a grounded guard ring around the oscillato r circuit,
as show n in Fig ure 12-4, may be help ful wh en used on
a single-sided PCB or in addition to a ground plane.
FIGURE 12-4: OSCILLATOR CIRCUIT
WITH GROUNDED
GUARD RING
12.4 Timer1 Interrupt
The TMR1 register pair (TMR1H:TMR1L) increments
from 0000h to FFFFh and rolls over to 0000h. The
Timer1 interrupt, if enabled, is generated on overflow,
which is latched in interrupt flag bit, TMR1IF
(PIR1<0>). This interrupt can be enabled or disabled
by setting or clearing the Timer1 Interrupt Enable bit,
TMR1IE (PIE1<0>).
12.5 Resetti ng Timer1 Using the CCP
S pecial Event Tri gger
If either of the CCP modules is configured to use Timer1
and generate a Special Event T rigger in C ompare m ode
(CCP1M3:CCP1M0 or CCP2M3:CCP2M0 = 1011), this
signal will reset Timer1. The trigger from CCP2 will also
start an A/D conversion if the A/D module is enabled
(see Section 15.3.4 “Special Event Trigger” for more
information).
The module must be configured as either a timer or a
synch rono us cou nte r to t ak e a dva nt age of this fe atur e.
When used this way, the CCPRH:CCPRL register pair
effectively becom es a period regi ste r for Timer1 .
If Timer1 is running in Asynchronous Counter mode,
this Reset operation may not work.
In the event that a write to Timer1 coincides with a
Special Event Trigger, the write operation will take
precedence.
12.6 Using Timer 1 as a Real-Time Clock
Adding an extern al LP os cilla tor to Timer1 (s uch a s the
one described in Section 12.3 “Timer1 Oscillator”
above) gives users the option to include RTC function-
ality to their applications. This is accomplished with an
inexpensive watch crystal to provide an accurate time
base and several lines of application code to calculate
the time. When operating in Sleep mode and using a
battery or supercapacitor as a power source, it can
completely eliminate the need for a separate RTC
device and battery backup.
The application code routine, RTCisr, shown in
Example 12-1, demonstrates a simple method to
increment a counter at one-second intervals using an
Interrupt Service Routine. Incrementing the TMR1
register pair to overflow triggers the interrupt and calls
the routine, which increments the seconds counter by
one; additional counters for minutes and hours are
inc remented as the previous count er overflow.
Since the register pair is 16 bits wide, counting up to
overflow the register directly from a 32.768 kHz clock
would take 2 seconds. To force the overflow at the
required one-second intervals, it is necessary to
preload it. The simplest method is to set the MSb of
TMR1H with a BSF instruction. Note that the TMR1L
register is never preloaded or altered. Doing so may
introduc e cum ul ativ e errors over ma ny cy cl es .
For this m ethod to be a ccurate, T imer 1 must o perate in
Asynchronous mode and the Timer1 overflow interrupt
must be enabled (PIE1<0> = 1), as shown in the
routine, RTCinit. The Timer1 oscillator must also be
enabled and running at all times.

13.0 TIMER2 MODULE
The Timer2 module timer 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 and
1:16)
Software programmable postscaler (1:1 through
1:16)
Interrupt on TMR2 to PR2 match
Optional use as the shift clock for the MSSP
module
The module is controlled through the T2CON register
(Register 13-1), which enables or disables the timer
and configures the prescaler and postscaler. Timer2
can be shut off by clearing control bit, TMR2ON
(T2CON<2>), to minimize power cons umption.
A simplified block diagram of the module is shown in
Figure 13-1.
13.1 Timer2 Operation
In normal operation, TMR2 is incremented from 00h on
each clock (FOSC/4). A 4-bit counter/prescaler on the
clock input gives direct input, divide-by-4 and divide-by-
16 prescale options; these are selected by the prescaler
control bits, T2CKPS1:T2CKPS0 (T2CON<1:0>). The
value of TMR 2 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 reset s the value of TMR2 to 00h
on the next cycle and drives the output counter/
postscaler (see Section 13.2 “T imer2 Interrupt”).
The TMR2 and PR2 registers are both directl y readable
and writable. The TMR2 register is cleared on any
device Reset, while the PR2 register initializes at FFh.
Both the p rescaler and post scale r counters ar e cleare d
on the following events:
a write to the TMR2 register
a write to the T2CON register
any device Reset (Power-on Reset, MCLR Reset,
Watchdog Timer Reset or Brown-out Reset)
TMR2 is not cleared when T2CON is written.

13.2 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 output counter/
postscaler. This counter generates the TMR2 match
interrupt flag which is latched in TMR2IF (PIR1<1>).
The interrupt is enabled by setting the TMR2 Match
Interrupt Enable bit, TMR2IE (PIE1<1>).
A range of 16 postscale op tio ns (fro m 1 :1 through 1:1 6
inclusive) can be selected with the postscaler control
bits, T2OUTPS3:T2OUTPS0 (T2CON<6:3>).
13.3 Timer2 Output
The unscaled output of TMR2 is available primarily to
the CCP modules, where it is used as a time base for
operat io ns in PWM mo de.
T i mer2 ca n be op tiona lly us ed as th e shif t cl ock so urce
for the MSSP module operating in SPI mode.

14.1 Timer3 Operation
Timer3 can operate in one of three modes:
•Timer
Synchronous Counter
Asynchronous Counter
The operating mode is determined by the clock select
bit, TMR3CS (T3CON<1>). When TMR3CS is cleared
(= 0), Timer3 increments on every internal instruction
cycle ( F OSC/4). When the bit is set, Timer3 increments
on every rising edge of the Timer1 external clock input
or the Timer1 oscillator, if enabled.
As with Timer1, the RC1/T1OSI and RC0/T1OSO/
T13CKI pi ns becom e input s w hen the Timer1 oscil lator
is enabled. This means the values of TRISC<1:0> are
ignored and the pins are read as ‘0’.

14.2 Timer3 16-Bit Read/Write Mode
Timer3 can be configured for 16-bit reads and writes
(see Figure 14-2). When the RD16 control bit
(T3CON< 7>) is set, the add ress fo r TMR3H is mappe d
to a buffer r egist er fo r the high b yte o f Timer3. A read
from TMR3L will load the contents of the high byte of
Timer3 into the Timer3 High Byte Buffer register. This
provi des th e us er with the abil it y to acc urat ely rea d all
16 bits of Timer 1 with out ha ving to de ter mine whe ther
a read of the high byte, followed by a read of the low
byte, has become invalid due to a rollover between
reads.
A write to the high byte of Timer3 must also take place
through the TMR3H Buffer register. The Timer3 high
byte is updated with the contents of TMR3H when a
write occurs to TMR3L. This allows a user to write all
16 bit s to both the high and l ow bytes of Ti mer3 at once.
The high byte of Timer3 is not directly readable or
writable in this mode. All reads and writes must take
place through the Timer3 High Byte Buffer register.
Writes to TMR3H do not clear the Timer3 prescaler.
The prescaler is only cleared on writes to TMR3L.
14.3 Using the Timer1 Oscil lator as the
Timer3 Clock Source
The Timer1 internal oscillator may be used as the clock
source for Timer3. The Timer1 oscillator is enabled by
setting the T1 OSCEN (T1CON <3>) bi t. To us e it as the
T imer3 clock source, the TMR3CS bit must also be set.
As previously noted, this also configures Timer3 to
increm ent on e ver y risin g edge of the o scill ator so urce.
The Timer1 oscillator is described in Section 12.0
“Timer1 Module”.
14.4 Timer3 Interrupt
The TMR3 register pair (TMR3H:TMR3L) increments
from 0000h to FFFFh and overflows to 0000h. The
Timer3 interrupt, if enabled, is generated on overflow
and is latched in interrupt flag bit, TMR3IF (PIR2<1>).
This interrupt can be enabled or disabled by setting or
clearing the Timer3 Interrupt Enable bit, TMR3IE
(PIE2<1>).
14.5 Resetti ng Timer3 Using the CCP
S pecial Event Trigger
If either of the CCP modules is configured to use
Timer3 and to generate a Special Event Trigger
in Compare mode (CCP1M3:CCP1M0 or
CCP2M3:CCP2M0 = 1011), this signal will reset
Timer3. It will also start an A/D conversion if the A/D
module is enabled (see Section 15.3.4 “Special
Event Trigger” for more information).
The module must be configured as either a timer or
synch rono us cou nte r to t ak e a dva nt age of this fe atur e.
When used this way, the CCPR2H:CCPR2L register
pair effectively becomes a period register for Timer3.
If Timer3 is running in Asynchronous Counter mode,
the Reset operation may not work.
In the event that a write to Timer3 coincides with a
S pecia l Event T rigger fro m a CCP mo dule, the wr ite will
take precedence.

15.0 CAPTURE/COMPARE/ PWM
(CCP) MODULES
PIC18F2525/2620/4525/4620 devices all have two
CCP (Capt ure/Comp are/PWM ) modules. Each mo dule
cont ains a 16-bi t regis ter wh ich can operate as a 1 6-bit
Capture register, a 16-bit Compare register or a PWM
Master/Sl ave Dut y Cycl e register.
In 28-pin devices, the two standard CCP modules
(CCP1 and CCP2) operate as described in this
chapter. In 40/44-pin devices, CCP1 is implemented
as an En hanced CCP module with standa rd Capture
and Compare modes and Enhanced PWM modes.
The ECCP implementation is discussed in
Section 16.0 “Enhanced Capture/Compare/PWM
(ECC P ) Mod ul e.
The Ca pture and Comp are opera tions de scribed in this
chapter apply to all standard and Enhanced CCP
modules.
Note: Throughout this section and Section 16.0
“Enhanced Capture/Comp are/PWM (ECCP)
Module”, references to the register and bit
names for CCP modules are referred to
generically by the use of ‘x’ or ‘y’ in place
of the specific module number. Thus,
“CCPxCON” might refer to the control regis-
ter for CCP1, CCP2 or ECCP1. “CCPxCON”
is used throughout these sections to refer to
the module control register, regardless of
whether the CCP module is a standard or
enhanced implementation.

15.1 CCP Module Configuration
Each Capture/Compare/PWM module is associated
with a control register (generically, CCPxCON) and a
data register (CCPRx). The data register, in turn, is
comprised of two 8-bit registers: CCPRxL (low byte)
and CCPRxH (high byte). All registers are both
readable and writable.
15.1.1 CCP MODULES AND TIMER
RESOURCES
The CCP modules utilize Timers 1, 2 or 3, depending
on the mo de selected. T imer1 and T imer3 are available
to modules in Capture or Compare modes, while
Timer2 is available for modules in PWM mode.
TABLE 15-1: CCP MODE – TIMER
RESOURCES
The assignment of a particular timer to a module is
determined by the Timer to CCP enable bits in the
T3CON register (Register 14-1). Both modules may be
acti ve at any given t ime and m ay shar e the s ame timer
resource if they are configured to operate in the same
mode (Capture/Compare or PWM) at the same time. The
interactions between the two modules are summarized in
Figure 15-1 and Fi gu re 15-2. In Timer1 in As y nc hro no us
Counter mode, the capture operation will not work.
15.1.2 CCP2 PIN ASSIGNMENT
The pin assignment for CCP2 (capture input, compare
and PW M output) c an chang e, based o n device config-
uration. The CCP2MX Configuration bit determines
which pin CCP2 is multiplexed to. By default, it is
assign ed to RC1 (C CP2MX = 1). If the Configuration bit
is cleared, CCP2 is multiplexed with RB3.
Changing the pin assignment of CCP2 does not
automatically change any requirements for configuring
the port p in. Users m ust always veri fy that the app ropri-
ate TRIS register is configured correctly for CCP2
operation, regardless of where it is located.

can also be done. Operation of CCP1 could be affected if it is using the same timer as a
time base.

PIC18F2525/2620/4525/4620
15.2 Capture Mode
In Capture mode, the CCPRxH:CCPRxL register pair
captures the 16-bit value of the TMR1 or TMR3
registers when an event occurs on the corresponding
CCPx pin. An event is defined as one of the following:
every falling edge
every rising edge
every 4th rising edge
every 16th rising edge
The event is selected by the mode select bits,
CCPxM3:CCPxM0 (CCPxCON<3:0>). When a capture
is made, the interrupt request flag bit, CCPxIF, is set; it
must be cleared in software. If another capture occurs
before the value in register CCPRx is read, the old
captured value is overwritten by the new captured value.
15.2.1 CCP PIN CONFIGURATION
In Capture mode, the appropriate CCPx pin should be
configured as an input by setting the corresponding
TRIS direction bit.
15.2.2 TIMER1/TIMER3 MODE SELECTION
The tim ers that are to be used with the capture feature
(Timer1 and/or Timer3) must be running in Timer mode or
Synchr oni zed Count er mode . I n As ynchr ono us Co unt er
mode, the capture operation will not work. The timer to be
used with each CCP module is selected in the T3CON
register (see Section 15.1.1 “CCP M odu le s a nd Timer
Resources”).
15.2.3 SOFTWARE INTERRUPT
When the Capture mode is changed, a false capture
interrupt may be generated. The user should keep the
CCPxIE interrupt enable bit clear to avoid false
interrupts. The i nterrupt flag bit, CCPxIF, should als o be
cleared following any such change in operating mode.
15.2.4 CCP PRESCALER
There are four prescaler settings in Capture mode; they
are specifie d as p art of the operati ng mode sel ected by
the mode select bits (CCPxM3:CCPxM0). Whenever
the CCP module is turned off or Capture mode is
disabled, the prescaler counter is cleared. This means
that any Reset will clear the prescaler counter.
Switching from one capture prescaler to another may
generate an interrupt. Also, the prescaler counter will
not be cleare d; therefore , the first cap ture may be from
a non-zero prescaler. Example 15-1 shows the
recommended method for switching between capture
prescalers. This example also clears the prescaler
counter and will not generate the “false” interrupt.

15.3 Compare Mode
In Compare mode, the 16-bit CCPRx register value is
constantly compared against either the TMR1 or TMR3
register pair value. When a match occurs, the CCPx pin
can be:
driven high
driven low
toggled (high-to-low or low-to-high)
remain u nchanged (tha t is, reflect s the state of th e
I/O latch)
The acti on on the pin is b ased on the val ue of the mode
select bits (CCPxM3:CCPxM0). At the same time, the
interrupt flag bit, CCPxIF, is set.
15.3.1 CCP PIN CONFIGURATION
The user must configure the CCPx pin as an output by
clearing the appropriate TRIS bit.
15.3.2 TIMER1/TIMER3 MODE SELECTION
Timer1 and/or Timer3 must be running in Timer mode
or Synchronized Counter mode if the CCP module is
using the compare feature. In Asynchronous Counter
mode, the compare operation may not work.
15.3.3 SOFTWARE INTERRUPT MODE
When the Gene rate Softwa re Interr upt mo de is chose n
(CCPxM3:CCPxM0 = 1010), t h e c o r respond i ng C C Px
pin is not aff ected . Only a C CP int errup t is gen erat ed,
if enabled, and the CCPxIE bit is set.
15.3.4 SPECIAL EVENT TRIGGER
Both CCP modules are equipped with a Special Event
Trigger. This is an internal hardware signal generated
in Co mpare mo de to trig ger actio ns by oth er mod ule s.
The Special Event Trigger is enabled by selecting
the Compare Special Event Trigger mode
(CCPxM3:CCPxM0 = 1011).
For either CCP module, the S pecial Event T rigger reset s
the Timer register pair for whichever timer resource is
currently assigned as the module’s time base. This
allows the CCPRx registers to serve as a programm able
Period register for either timer.
The Special Event Trigger for CCP2 can also start an
A/D conversion. In order to do this, the A/D converter
must already be enabled.
FIGURE 15-2: COMPARE MODE OPERATION BLOCK DIAGRAM
Note: Clearing the CCP2CON register will force
the RB3 or RC1 compare output latch
(dependi ng on de vice con figuration ) to the

15.4 PWM Mode
In Pulse-W idth Modulati on (PWM) mode, the CCPx pin
produces up to a 10-bit resolution PWM output. Since
the CCP2 pin is multiplexed with a PORTB or PORTC
data latch, the appropriate TRIS bit must be cleared to
make the CCP2 pin an output.
Figure 15-3 shows a simplified block diagram of the
CCP module in PWM mo de.
For a ste p-by-step proc edure on how t o set up the CC P
module for PWM operation, see Section 15.4.4
“Setup for PWM Operation”.
FIGURE 15-3: SIMPLIFIED PWM BLOCK
DIAGRAM
A PWM output (Figure 15-4) has a time base (period)
and a time that the output stays high (duty cycle).
The frequency of the PWM is the inverse of the
period (1/per iod) .
FIGURE 15-4: PWM OUTPUT
15.4.1 PWM PERIOD
The PWM period is specified by writing to the PR2
register. The PWM period can be calculated using the
following formula:
EQUATION 15-1:
PWM frequency is defined as 1/[PWM period].
When TM R2 is equal to PR2, t he following three event s
occur on the next increment cycle:
•TMR2 is cleared
The CCPx pin is set (exception: if PWM duty
cycle = 0%, the CCPx pin will not be set)
The PWM duty cycle is latched from CCPRxL into
CCPRxH
15.4.2 PWM DUTY CYCLE
The PWM duty cycle is specified by writing to the
CCPRxL register and to the CCPxCON<5:4> bits. Up
to 10-bit resolution is available. The CCPRxL contains
the eight MSbs and the CCPxCON<5:4> contains the
two LSbs. This 10-bit value is represented by
CCPRxL:CCPxCON<5:4>. The following equation is
used to calculate the PWM duty cycle in time:
EQUATION 15-2:
CCPRxL and CCPxCON<5:4> can be written to at any
time, but the duty cycle value is not latched into
CCPR2H until after a match between PR2 and TMR2
occurs (i.e., the period is complete). In PWM mode,
CCPRxH is a read-only register.
Note: Clearing the CCP2CON register will force
the RB3 or RC1 output latch (depending on
device configuration) to the default low
level. This is not the POR TB or POR TC I/O
data latch.

The CCPR2H register and a 2-bit internal latch are
used to double-buffer the PWM duty cycle. This
double-buffering is essential for glitchless PWM
operation.
When the CCPRxH and 2-bit latch match TMR2,
concatenated with an internal 2-bit Q clock or 2 bits of
the TMR2 prescaler, the CCP2 pin is cleared.

(CCP1 ONLY)
The PWM auto-shutdown features of the Enhanced CCP
module are also available to CCP1 in 28-pin devices. The
operation of this feature is discussed in detail in
Section 16.4.7 “Enha nced PWM Auto- Shutdown” .
Auto-shutdown features are not available for CCP2.
15.4.4 SETUP FOR PWM OPERATION
The following steps should be taken when configuring
the CCPx module for PWM operation:
1. Set the PWM period by writing to the PR2
register.
2. Set the PWM duty cycle by writing to the
CCPR xL register an d CCPxCON<5:4> bits.
3. Make the CCPx pin an output by clearing the
appropriate TRIS bit.
4. Set the TMR2 prescale value, then enable
Timer2 by writing to T2CON.
5. Configure the CCPx module f or PWM operatio n.
Note: If the PWM duty cycle value is longer than
the PWM period, the CCP2 pin will not be
cleared.

ECCP module are the same as described for the
standard CCP module.
The control register for the Enhanced CCP module is
shown in Register 16-1. It differs from the CCPxCON
registers in PIC18F2525/2620 devices in that the two
Most Significant bits are implemented to control PWM
functionality.
Note: The ECCP module is impl eme nte d onl y in
40/44-pin devices.

In addition to the expanded range of modes available
through the CCP1CON and ECCP1AS registers, the
ECCP module has an additional register associated
with Enhanced PWM operation and auto-shutdown
features; it is:
PWM1CON (PWM Configuration)
16.1 ECCP Outputs and Configuration
The E nhance d CCP modul e may h ave up to four PW M
outputs, depending on the selected operating mode.
These outputs, designated P1A through P1D, are
multiplexed with I/O pins on PORTC and PORTD. The
outputs that are active depend on the CCP operating
mode selected. The pin assignments are summarized
in Table 16-1.
To configure the I/O pins as PWM outputs, the proper
PWM mode must be selected by setting the
P1M1:P1M0 and CCP1M3:CCP1M0 bits. The
appropriate TRISC and TRISD direction bits for the p ort
pins must also be set as outputs.
16.1.1 ECCP MODULES AND TIMER
RESOURCES
Like the standard CCP modules, the ECCP module ca n
utilize Timers 1, 2 or 3, depending on the mode
select ed. Timer1 and Timer3 are a va ila ble for m od ule s
in Capture or Compare modes, while Timer2 is avail-
able for modules in PWM mode. Interactions between
the st andard and Enha nced CCP mod ules are id entical
to those described for standard CCP modules.
Additional details on timer resources are provided in
Section 15.1.1 “CCP Modules and Timer
Resources”.
16.2 Capture and Comp are Modes
Except for the operation of the Special Event Trigger
discussed below, the Capture and Compare modes of
the ECCP module are identical in operation to that of
CCP2. These are discussed in detail in Section 15.2
“Capture Mode” and Section 15.3 “Compare
Mode”. No changes are required when moving
between 28-pin and 40/44-pin devices.
16.2.1 SPECIAL EVENT TRIGGER
The Special Event Trigger output of ECCP1 resets the
TMR1 or TMR3 register pair , depending on which timer
resource is currently selected. This allows the CCPR1
register to effectively be a 16-bit programmable period
register for Timer1 or Timer3.
16.3 Standard PWM Mode
When configured in Single Output mode, the ECCP
module functions identically to the standard CCP
module in PWM mode, as described in Section 15.4
“PWM Mode”. This is also sometimes referred to as
“Compatible CCP” mode, as in Table 16-1.
TABLE 16-1: PIN ASSIGNMENTS FOR VARIOUS ECCP1 MODES
Note: When setting up single output PWM
operations, users are free to use either
of the processes described in
Section 15.4.4 “Setup for PWM
Operation” or Section 16.4.9 “Setup
for PWM Operation”. The latter i s more
generic and will work for either single or
multi-output PWM.

16.4 Enhanced PWM Mode
The Enhanced PWM mode provides additional PWM
output options for a broader range of control applica-
tions. The module is a backwar d compatible version of
the st andard CCP m odule and o ffers up to four output s,
designated P1A through P1D. Users are also able to
select the polarity of the signal (either active-high or
active -low). The module’ s outpu t mode an d polarit y are
configured by setting the P1M1:P1M0 and
CCP1M3:CCP1M0 bits of the CCP1CON register.
Figure 16-1 shows a simplified block diagram of PWM
operatio n. All con trol regi sters are dou ble-buf fe red and
are loaded at the beginning of a new PWM cycle (the
period boundary when Timer2 resets) in order to
prevent gl itches on any of th e output s. The except ion is
the PWM Delay register, PWM1CON, which is loaded
at either the duty cycle boundary or the period bound-
ary (whichever comes first). Because of the buffering,
the module waits until the assigned timer resets,
instead of starting immediately. This means that
Enhanced PWM waveforms do not exactly match the
standard PWM waveforms, but are instead offset by
one full instruction cycle (4 TOSC).
As before, the user must manually configure the
appropriate TRIS bits for output.
16.4.1 PWM PERIOD
The PWM period is specified by writing to the PR2
register. The PWM period can be calculated using the
following equation.
EQUATION 16-1:
PWM frequency is defined as 1/[PWM period]. When
TMR2 is e qual to PR 2, the foll owing three event s occur
on the next increment cycle:
•TMR2 is cleared
The CCP1 pin is set (if PW M duty cycle = 0%, the
CCP1 pin will not be set)
The PWM du ty cy cl e is copi ed from CCPR1L into
CCPR1H
FIGURE 16-1: SIMP LIFIED BLOCK DIAGRAM OF THE ENHANCED PWM MODULE
Note: The Timer2 postscaler (see Section 13.0
“Timer2 Module”) is not used in the
determination of the PWM frequency. The
postscaler could be used to have a servo
update rate at a different frequency than
the PWM output.

16.4.2 PWM DUTY CYCLE
The PWM duty cycle is specified by writing to the
CCPR1L register and to the CCP1CON<5:4> bits. Up
to 10-bit resolution is available. The CCPR1L contains
the eight MSbs and the CCP1CON<5:4> contains the
two LSbs. This 10-bit value is represented by
CCPR1L:CCP1CON<5:4>. The PWM duty cycle is
calculated by the following equation.
EQUATION 16-2:
CCPR1L and CC P1CON <5:4> c an be wr itten to at an y
time, but the duty cycle value is not copied into
CCPR1H until a m atch between PR2 and TM R2 occurs
(i.e., the period is complete). In PWM mode, CCPR1H
is a read-only register.
The CCPR1H register and a 2-bit internal latch are
used to double-buffer the PWM duty cycle. This
double-buffering is essential for glitchless PWM
operation. When the CCPR1H and 2-bit latch match
TMR2, concatenated with an internal 2-bit Q clock or
two bits of the TMR2 prescaler, the CCP1 pin is
cleared. The maximum PWM resolution (bits) for a
given PWM frequency is given by the following
equation.
EQUATION 16-3:
16.4.3 PW M OUTPUT CONFIGURATIONS
The P1M1:P1M0 bits in the CCP1CON register allow
one of four configurations:
Single Output
Half-Bridge Output
Full-Bridge Output, Forward mode
Full-Bridge Output, Reverse mode
The Single Output mode is the standard PWM mode
discussed in Section 16.4 “Enhanced PWM Mode”.
The Half-Bridge and Full-Bridge Output modes are
covered in detail in the sections that follow.
The general relationship of the outputs in all
configurations is summarized in Figure 16-2.

16.4.4 HALF-BRIDGE MODE
In the Half-Bridge Output mode, two pins are used as
outputs to drive p ush-pull load s. The PWM output s ignal
is output on the P1A pin, whi le the complementary PWM
output signal is output on the P1B pin (Figure 16-4). This
mode can be used for half-bridge applications, as shown
in Figure 16-5, or for full-bridge applications where four
power switches are being modulated with two PWM
signals.
In Half-Bridge Output mode, the programmable dead-
band delay can be used to prevent shoot-through
current in half-bridge power devices. The value of bits,
PDC6:PDC0, sets the number of instruction cycles
befor e the output is driven acti ve. If the v alue is g reater
than the duty cycle, the corresponding output remains
inactive during the entire cycle. See Section 16.4.6
“Programmable Dead-Band Delay” for more details
of the dead-band delay operations.
Since the P1A and P1B outputs are multiplexed with
the PORTC<2> and PORTD<5> data latches, the
TRISC<2> and TRISD<5> bits must be cleared to
configure P1A and P1B as outputs.

16.4.5 FULL-BRIDGE MODE
In Full-Bridge Output mode, four pins are used as
outputs; however , only two outputs are active at a time.
In the Forward mode, pin P1A is continuously active
and pin P1D is modulated. In the Reverse mode, pin
P1C is continuously active and pin P1B is modulated.
These are illustrated in Figure 16-6.
P1A, P1B, P1C and P1D outputs are multiplexed with
the PORTC<2> and PORTD<7:5> data latches. The
TRISC<2> and TRISD<7:5> bits must be cleared to
make the P1A, P1B, P1C and P1D pins outputs.

FIGURE 16-7: EXAMPLE OF FULL-BRIDGE APPLICATION
16.4.5.1 Directi on Chang e in Ful l-Bridg e Mode
In the Full-Bridge Output mode, the P1M1 bit in the
CCP1CON register allows user to control the forward/
reverse direction. When the application firmware
changes this direction control bit, the module will
assume the new direction on the next PWM cycle.
Just before the end of the current PWM period, the
modulated outputs (P1B and P1D) are placed in their
inactiv e state, whil e the unmodula ted outputs (P1A and
P1C) are switched to drive in the opposite direction.
This occurs in a time interval of 4 TOSC * (Timer2
Prescale Value) before the next PWM period begins.
The Timer2 prescaler will be either 1, 4 or 16, depend-
ing on the value of the T2CKPS1:T2CKPS0 bits
(T2CON<1:0>). During the interval from the switch of
the unmodulated outputs to the beginning of the next
period, the modulated outputs (P1B and P1D) remain
inactive. This relationship is shown in Figure 16-8.
Note that in the Full-Bridge Output mode, the CCP1
module does not provide any dead-band delay. In
general, since only one output is modul ated at all times,
dead-band delay is not required. However, there is a
situation where a dead-band delay might be required.
This situation occurs when both of the following
conditions are true:
1. The direction of the PWM output changes when
the duty cycle of the output is at or near 100%.
2. The turn-off ti me of the power swi tch, in cluding
the power device and driver circuit, is greater
than the turn-on tim e.
Figure 16-9 shows an example where the PWM
direction changes from forward to reverse at a near
100% duty cycle. At time t1, the outputs P1A and P1D
become inactive, while output P1C becomes active. In
this example, since the turn-off time of the power
device s is longer th an the turn-on time, a shoot-through
current may flow through power devices, QC and QD
(see Figure 16-7), for the duration of ‘t’. The same
phenomenon will occur to power devices, QA and QB,
for PWM direction change from reverse to forward.
If changing PWM direction at high duty cycle is required
for an application, one of the following requirements
must b e met:
1. Reduce PWM for a PWM period before
changing directions.
2. Use switch drivers that can drive the switches of f
faster than they can drive them on.
Other options to prevent shoot-through current may
exist.

16.4.6 PROGRAMMABLE DEAD -BAND
DELAY
In half-b ridge applications where all power switches are
modulated at the PWM frequency at all times, the
power switches normally require more time to turn off
than to turn on. If both the upper and lower power
switc he s a re sw it ched at the same time (one tu rne d o n
and the other turned off), both switches may be on for
a short period of time until one switch completely turns
off. During th is brief in terval, a very high current (shoot-
through current) may flow through both power
switches, shorting the bridge supply. To avoid this
potentially destructive shoot-through current from
flowin g d urin g s witc hin g, tu rning on eithe r of th e power
switches is normally delayed to allow the other switch
to completely turn off.
In the Half-Bridge Output mode, a digitally programmable
dead-band delay is available to avoid shoot-through
curre nt fro m destro ying t he bri dge po wer swit ches. T he
delay occurs at the signal transition from the nonactive
state to the act ive state . See Fig ure 16-4 for illu strat ion.
Bits PDC6:PDC0 of the PWM1CON register
(Register 16-2) set the delay period in terms of micro-
controller instruction cycles (TCY or 4 TOSC). These bits
are no t availabl e on 28-p in devices as the st andard CC P
modul e do es n ot support h al f-bridge op eration.
16.4.7 ENHANCED PWM AUTO-SHUTDOWN
When the CCP1 is programmed for any of the Enhanced
PWM modes, the active output pins may be configured
for auto-shutdown. Auto-shutdown immediately places
the Enhanced PWM output pins into a defined shutdown
state when a shut dow n even t occurs.
A shutdown event can be caused by either of the
comparator modules, a low level on the Fault input pin
(FLT0) or any combination of these three sources. The
comparators may be used to monitor a voltage input
proportional to a current being monitored in the bridge
circuit. If the voltage exceeds a threshold, the
comparator switches state and triggers a shutdown.
Alternatively , a low digital signal on FL T0 can also trigger
a shut down. The auto-shutdown fea ture can be disabled
by not selecting any auto-shutdown sources. The auto-
shutdown sources to be used are selected using the
ECCPAS2:ECCPAS0 bits (ECCP1AS<6:4>).
When a shutdown occurs, the output pins are asyn-
chronously placed in their shutdown states, specified
by the PSSAC1:PSSAC0 and PSSBD1:PSSBD0 bits
(ECCP1AS<3:0>). Each pin pair (P1A/P1C and P1B/
P1D) m ay be s et to dr ive hig h, driv e lo w or be t ri-st ated
(not driv ing). The ECCP ASE b it (ECCP1AS<7>) is a lso
set to hold the Enhanced PWM outputs in their
shutdown states.
The ECCPASE bit is s et by hardware when a shutdown
event o cc urs. If automati c re starts are not enab led , th e
ECCPASE bit is c leared by f irmware when t he cause of
the shutdown clears. If automatic restarts are enabled,
the ECCPASE bit is automatically cleared when the
cause of the auto-shutdown has cleared.
If the ECCPASE bit is set when a PWM period begins,
the PWM o utputs remain in their shutdown state for that
entire PW M peri od. Wh en the ECCPASE bit is cleare d,
the PWM outputs will return to normal operation at the
beginning of the next PWM period.
Note: Programmable dead-band delay is not
implemented in 28-pin devices with
standard CCP modules.
Note: Writing to the ECCPASE bit is disabled
while a shutdown condition is active.

16.4.7.1 Auto-Shutdown and
Automatic Restart
The auto-shutdown feature can be configured to allow
automatic restarts of the module following a shutdown
event. This is enabled by setting the PRSEN bit of the
PWM1CON register (PWM1CON<7>).
In Shut down mode with PRSEN = 1 (Figure 16-10), the
ECCPASE bit will remain set for as long as the cause
of the shutdown continues. When the shutdown condi-
tion clears, the ECCP1ASE bit is cleared. If PRSEN = 0
(Fig ure 16 -11), o nce a s hutdo wn c ond iti on occu rs, the
ECCPASE bit will remain set until it is cleared by
firmware. Once ECCPASE is cleared, the Enhanced
PWM will resume at the beginning of the next PWM
period.
Independent of the PRSEN bit setting, if the auto-
shutdown source is one of the comparators, the
shutdown condition is a level. The ECCPASE bit
cannot be cleared as long as the cause of the shutdown
persists.
The Auto-Shu tdown mode can be forced by writing a ‘1
to the ECCPASE bit.
16.4.8 START-UP CONSIDERATIONS
When the EC CP module is use d in the PWM mode, th e
applic ation hardware m ust use the p roper external pull-
up and/or pull-down resistors on the PWM output pins.
When the microcontroller is released from Reset, all of
the I/O pins are in the high-impedance state. The
external circuit s must keep the power switch de vices in
the off stat e until the mi cro co ntro lle r drives the I/ O p in s
with the proper signal levels, or activates the PWM
output(s).
The CCP1M1:CCP1M0 bits (CCP1CON<1:0>) allow
the user to choose whether the PW M output signals are
active-high or active-low for each pair of PWM output
pins (P1A/P1C and P1B/P1D). The PWM output
polarities must be selected before the PWM pins are
configu red as output s. Changin g the p olarity conf igura-
tion while the PWM pins are configured as outputs is
not recom mended, sinc e it may result i n damage to th e
application circuits.
The P1A, P1B, P1C and P1D output latches may not be
in the proper states when the PWM module is initialized.
Enabling the P WM pins for outp ut at the sa me time as
the ECCP module may cause damage to the applica-
tion circuit . The ECCP module must be enabl ed in the
proper output mode and complete a full PWM cycle
before configuring the PWM pin s as outputs. The com-
pletion o f a f ull PWM c ycle is indicate d by t he TMR2I F
bit being set as the second PWM period begins.

16.4.9 SETUP FOR PWM OPERA T ION
The following steps should be taken when configuring
the ECCP module for PWM operation:
1. Configure the PWM pins, P1A and P1B (and
P1C and P1D, if used), as inputs by setting the
corresponding TRIS bits.
2. Set the PWM period by loading the PR2 register .
3. If auto-shutdown is required, do the following:
Disable auto-shutdown (ECCP1AS = 0)
Configure source (FLT0, Comparator 1 or
Comparator 2)
Wait for non-shutdown condition
4. Configure the ECCP module for the desired
PWM mode and configuration by loading the
CCP1CON register with the appropriate values:
Select one of the available output
configurations and direction with the
P1M1:P1M0 bits.
Select the polarities of the PWM output
signals with the CCP1M3:CCP1M0 bits.
5. Set the PWM du ty cycl e by loading the CCPR1 L
register and CCP1CON<5:4> bits.
6. For Half-Bridge Output mode, set the dead-
band delay by loading PWM1CON<6:0> with
the appropriate value.
7. If auto-shutdown operation is required, load the
ECCP1AS register:
Select the auto-shutdown sources using the
ECCPAS2:ECCPAS0 bits.
Select the shutdown states of the PWM
output pins using the PSSAC1:PSSAC0 and
PSSBD1:PSSBD0 bits.
Set the ECCPASE bit (ECCP1AS<7>).
Config ure the c ompar ators us ing the CMCON
register.
Configure the comparator inputs as analog
inputs.
8. If auto-restart operation is required, set the
PRSEN bit (PWM1CON<7>).
9. Configure and start TMR2:
Clear the TMR2 interrupt flag bit by clearing
the TMR2IF bit (PIR1<1>).
Set the TMR2 prescale value by loading the
T2CKPS bits (T2CON<1:0>).
Enable Timer2 by setting the TMR2ON bit
(T2CON<2>).
10. Enable PWM outputs after a new PWM cycle
has started:
Wait until TMRx overflows (TMRxIF bit is set).
Enable the CCP1/P1A, P1B, P1C an d/or P1D
pin outputs by clearing the respective TRIS
bits.
Clear the ECCPASE bit (ECCP1AS<7>).
16.4.10 OPERATI ON IN POWER-M ANAG ED
MODES
In Sleep mode, all clock sources are disabled. Timer2
will not increment and the state of the module will not
change. If the ECCP pin is driving a value, it will continue
to drive that value. When the device wakes up, it will
continue from this state. If Two-Speed Start-ups are
enabled, the initial start-up frequency fro m INTOSC and
the postscaler may not be stable imm ediately.
In PRI_IDLE mode, the primary clock will continue to
clock the ECCP module without change. In all other
power-managed modes, the selected power-managed
mode clock will clock Timer2. Other power-managed
mode clocks will most likely be different than the
primary clock frequency.
16.4.10.1 Operation with Fail-Safe
Clock Monitor
If the Fai l-Safe Cl ock Monito r is enabl ed, a clo ck failure
will forc e the d evice i nto the pow er-managed RC_RU N
mode and the OSCFIF bit (PIR2<7>) will be set. The
ECCP will then be clocked from the internal oscillator
clock source, which may have a different clock
frequency than the primary clock.
See the previous section for additional details.
16.4.11 EFFECTS OF A RESET
Both Power-on Reset and subsequent Resets will force
all ports to Input mode and the CCP registers to their
Reset states.
This forces the Enhanced CCP module to reset to a
state compatible with the standard CCP module.

17.0 MASTER SYNCHR ONOUS
SERIAL PORT (MS SP)
MODULE
17.1 Master SSP (MSSP) Module
Overview
The Master Synchronous Serial Port (MSSP) module is
a serial interface, useful for communicating with other
periphera l or m icroc ontroll er dev ices. Th ese p eriphera l
devices may be serial EEPROMs, shift registers,
displa y drivers, A/D converte rs, etc. The MSSP modul e
can operate in one of two modes:
Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI)
Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C)
- Full Master mode
- Slave mode (with general address call)
The I2C interface supports the following modes in
hardware:
•Master mode
Multi-Master mode
Slave mode
17.2 Control Registers
The MSSP module has three associated registers.
These include a status register (SSPSTAT) and two
control registers (SSPCON1 and SSPCON2). The use
of thes e register s and their ind ividual C onfigurati on bit s
differ significantly depending on whether the MSSP
module is operated in SPI or I2C mode.
Additional details are provided under the individual
sections.
17.3 SPI Mode
The S PI mode allo ws 8 bit s of dat a to be sy nchronousl y
transmitted and received simultaneously. All four SPI
modes are supported. To accomplish communication,
typically three pins are used:
Serial Data Out (SDO) – RC5/SDO
Serial Data In (SDI) – RC4/SDI/SDA
Serial Clock (SCK) – RC3/SCK/SCL
Additionally, a fourth pin may be used when in a Slave
mode of operation:
Slave Select (SS) – RA5/AN4/SS/HLVDIN/C2OUT
Figure 17-1 shows the block diagram of the MSSP
module when operating in SPI mode.

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

17.3.2 OPERATION
When initializing the SPI, several options need to be
specif ied. This is done by progra mming the ap propriate
control bits (SSPCON1<5:0> and SSPSTAT<7:6>).
These control bits allow the following to be specified:
Master mode (SCK is the clock output)
Slave mode (SCK is the clock input)
Clock Polarity (Idle state of SCK)
Data Input Sample Phase (middle or end of data
output time)
Clock Edge (output data on rising/falling edge
of SCK)
Clock Rate (Master mode only)
Slave Select mode (Slave mode only)
The MS SP consi sts of a trans mit/rec eive shift re gister
(SSPSR) and a buf fer register (SSPBUF). The SSPSR
shifts the data in and out of the device, MSb first. The
SSPBUF holds the data that was writ ten to the SSPSR
until the received dat a is ready. Once the 8 bits of data
have bee n received, that byte is moved to the SSPBUF
register. Then, the Buffer Full detect bit, BF
(SSPSTAT<0>) and the interrupt flag bit, SSPIF, are
set. This double-buffering of the received data
(SSPBUF) allows the next byte to start reception before
reading the data that was just r eceived. Any write to the
SSPBUF registe r during tra nsmission/recep tion of data
will be ignored and the write collision detect bit, WCOL
(SSPCON1<7>), will be set. User software must clear
the WCOL bit so that it ca n be determined if the following
write(s) to the SSPBUF register completed successfully .
When the application software is expecting to receive
valid da ta, the SSPBUF shoul d be read before th e next
byte of data to transfer is written to the SSPBUF. The
Buffer Full bit, BF (SSPSTAT<0>), indicates when
SSPBUF has been loaded with the received data
(transmiss ion is complete ). When the SSPBUF is read,
the BF bit is cleared. This data may be irrelevant if the
SPI is only a transmit ter . Generall y, the MSSP interru pt
is used to determine when the transmission/reception
has completed. The SSPBUF must be read and/or
written. If the interrupt method is not going to be used,
then sof tware pol ling can be d one to ensure that a write
collision does not occur. Example 17-1 shows the
loading of the SSPBUF (SSPSR) for data transmission.
The SSPSR is n ot directly reada ble or writ able and can
only be accessed by addressing the SSPBUF register.
Additionally, the MSSP status register (SSPSTAT)
indicates the various status conditions.
EXAMPLE 17-1: LOADING THE SSPBUF (SSPSR) REGISTER
Note: The SSPBUF re gister cannot be us ed with
read-modify-write instructions such as
BCF, BTFSC and COMF, etc.
Note: To avoid lost data in Master mo de, a read of
the SSPBUF must be performed to clear the
Buffer Full (BF) detect bit (SSPSTAT<0>)
between each transmission.

PIC18F2525/2620/4525/4620
17.3.3 ENABLING SPI I/O
To enable the serial port, MSSP Enable bit, SSPEN
(SSPCON1<5>), must be set. To reset or reconfigure
SPI mode, clear the SSPEN bit, reinitialize the
SSPCON registers and then set the SSPEN bit. This
configures the SDI, SDO, SCK and SS pins as serial
port pins. For the pins to behave as the serial port
function, some must have their data direction bits (in
the TRIS register) appropriately programmed as
follows:
SDI is a uto matically c on trol led by the SPI module
SDO must have TRISC<5> bit cleared
SCK (Master mode) must have TRISC<3> bit
cleared
SCK (Slave mode) must have TRISC<3> bit set
•SS
must have TRISA<5> 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.
17.3.4 TYPICAL CONNECTI ON
Figure 17-2 shows a typical connection between two
microcontrollers. The master controller (Processor 1)
initiates the data transfer by sending the SCK signal.
Data is shifted out of both shift registers on their pro-
grammed clock e dge and l atched on the oppos ite edge
of the cloc k. Both processors should be programmed to
the same Clock Polarity (CKP), then both controllers
would send and receive data at the same time.
Whether the data is meaningful (or dummy data)
depends on the application software. This leads to
three scenarios for data transmission:
Master sends data Slave sends dummy data
Master sends data Slave s ends data
Master sends dummy data Slave sends data

17.3.5 MASTER MODE
The master can initiate the data transfer at any time
because it controls the SCK. The master determines
when the slave (Processor 2, Figure 17-2) is to
broadcast data by the software protocol.
In Master mode, the data is transmitted/received as
soon as the SSPBUF register is written to. If the SPI
operation 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
prese nt on t he SDI p in at th e progr ammed c lock ra te.
As each byte is received, it will be loaded into the
SSPBUF register as if a normal received byte (inter-
rupts and status bits appropriately set). This could be
useful in receiver applications as a “Line Activity
Monitor” mode.
The clock polarity is selected by appropriately
programming the CKP bit (SSPCON1<4>). This then,
would give waveforms for SPI communication, as
shown in Figure 17-3, Figure 17-5 and Figure 17-6,
where t he MSB is tran smitted fi rst. In Ma ster mode , the
SPI clock ra te (bit rate) is user programmable t o be one
of the fo llowing:
•F
OSC/4 (or TCY)
•FOSC/16 (or 4 • TCY)
•F
OSC/64 (or 16 • TCY)
Timer2 output/2
This allows a maximum data rate (at 40 MHz) of
10.00 Mbps.
Figure 17-3 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
dat a is shown.

17.3.6 SLAVE MODE
In Slave m ode , the data is trans mi tted and rece iv ed as
the external clock pulses appear on SCK. When the
last bit is latched, the SSPIF interrupt flag bit is set.
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 (SSPCON1<4>).
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. When a byte is received, the device will wake-up
from Sleep.
17.3.7 SLAVE SELECT
SYNCHRONIZATION
The SS pin allows a Sync hronous Slave mode. The SPI
operation must be in Slave mode with the SS pin control
enabled (SSPCON1<3:0> = 04h). 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 be comes a floating output. External
pull-up/pull-down resistors may be desirable depending
on the application.
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.
To emulate two-wire communication, the SDO pin can
be connected to the SDI pin. When the SPI needs to
operate as a receiver, the SDO pin can be configured
as an in put. This d isables transmissi ons from th e SDO.
The SDI can always be left as an input (SDI function)
since it cann ot cre ate a bus con flict.

17.3.8 OPERATION IN POWER-MANAGED
MODES
In SPI Master mo de, modu le clo cks may be op erati ng
at a different speed than when in full-power mode. In
the case of Sleep mode, all clocks are halted.
In Idle modes, a clock is provided to the peripherals.
That clo ck should b e from the primar y clock so urce, the
secondary clock (Timer1 oscillator at 32.768 kHz) or
the INT OSC source. See Section 2.7 “Cloc k Sources
and Oscillator Switching” for additional information.
In most cases, the speed that the master clocks SPI
data is not important; however, this should be
evaluated for each system.
If MSSP interrupts are enabled, they can wake the
controller from Sleep mode, or one of the Idle modes,
when the master completes sending data. If an exit
from Sleep or Idle mode is not desired, MSSP
interrupts should be disabled.
If the Sleep mode is selected, all module clocks are
halted and the transmission/reception will remain in
that state until the devices wakes. After the device
returns to Run mode, the module will resume
transmitting and receiving data.
In SPI Slave mode, the SPI Transmit/Receive Shift
register operates asynchronously to the device. This
allows the device to be placed in any power-managed
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.
17.3.9 EFFECTS OF A RESET
A Reset disables the MSSP module and terminat es the
current transfer.

Table 17-1 shows the compatibility between the
standard SPI modes and the states of the CKP and
CKE control bits.

17.4 I2C Mode
The MSSP module in I2C mode fully implements all
master and slave functions (including general call
support) and provides interrupts on Start and Stop bits
in hardware to determine a free bus (multi-master
function). The MSSP module implements the standard
mode specifications, as well as 7-bit and 10-bit
addressing.
Two pins are used for data transfer:
Serial clock (SCL) – RC3/SCK/SCL
Serial data (SDA) – RC4/SDI/SDA
The user must configure these pins as inputs or output s
through the TRISC<4:3> bits.
FIGURE 17-7: MSSP BLOCK DIAGRAM
(I2C™ MODE)
17.4.1 REGISTERS
The MSSP module has six registers for I2C ope rati on.
These are:
MSSP Control Register 1 (SSPCON1)
MSSP Control Register 2 (SSPCON2)
MSSP Status Register (SSPSTAT)
Serial Receive/Transmit Buffer Register
(SSPBUF)
MSSP Shift Register (SSPSR) – Not directly
accessible
MSSP Address Register (SSPADD)
SSPCON1, SSPCON2 and SSPSTAT are the control
and status registers in I2C mode operation. The
SSPCON1 and SSPCON2 registers are readable and
writa bl e. Th e l ower 6 b it s o f t he SSPS TAT ar e re ad -o nl y.
The up per two bits of th e SS PSTAT are read/w rit e.
SSPSR is the shift register used for shifting data in or
out. SSPBUF is the buffer register to which data bytes
are written to or read from.
SSPADD register ho lds the slave device address when
the MSSP is configured in I2C Slave mode. When the
MSSP is configured in Master mode, the lower seven
bits of SSPADD act as the Baud Rate Generator reload
value.
In receive operations, SSPSR and SSPBUF together
create a double-buffered receiver. When SSPSR
receives a complete byte, it is transferred to SSPBUF
and the SSPIF interrupt is set.
During transmission, the SSPBUF is not double-
buff ered. A write to SSPBUF will write to bo th SSPBUF
and SSPSR.

17.4.2 OPERATION
The MSSP module functions are enabled by setting
MSSP Enable bit, SSPEN (SSPCON1<5>).
The SSPCON1 register allows control of the I2C
operation. Four mode selection bits (SSPCON1<3:0>)
allow one of the following I2C modes to be selected:
•I
2C Master mode clock
•I
2C Slave mode (7-bit address)
•I
2C Slave mode (10-bit address)
•I
2C Slave mode (7-bit address) with Start and
Stop bit interrupts enabled
•I
2C Slave mode (10-bit address) with Start and
Stop bit interrupts enabled
•I
2C Firmware Controlled Master mode , slave is Idle
Selection of any I2C mode with the SSPEN bit set,
forces the SCL and SDA pins to be open-drain,
provided these pins are programmed to inputs by
setting the appropriate TRISC bits. To ensure proper
operation of the module, pull-up resistors must be
provided externally to the SCL and SDA pins.
17.4.3 SLAVE MODE
In Slave mod e, the SCL and SDA pins mu st be co nfi g-
ured as inputs (TRISC<4:3> set). The MSSP module
will override the input state with the output data when
required (slave-transmitter).
The I2C Sl av e m od e h ardw a re w i ll always genera te a n
interrupt on an address match. Through the mode
select bits, the user can also choose to interrupt on
Start and Stop bits
When an add ress is matched, or the data transfer af ter
an address match is received, the hardware auto-
matically will generate the Acknowledge (ACK) pulse
and load the SSPBUF register with the received value
currently in the SSPSR register.
Any combination of the following conditions will cause
the MSSP module not to give this ACK pulse:
The Buffer Full bit, BF (SSPSTAT<0>), was set
before the transfer was received.
The overflow bit, SSPOV (SSPCON1<6>), was
set before the transfer was received.
In this case, the SSPSR register value is not loaded
into the SSPBUF, but bit, SSPIF (PIR1<3>) , is set. Th e
BF bit is cleared by reading the SSPBUF register , while
bit, SSPOV, is cleared through software.
The SCL clock input must have a minimum high and
low fo r pro per op eration. The h igh an d l ow ti me s o f the
I2C specification, as well as the requirement of the
MSSP module, are sh own in timing para meter 100 and
parameter 101.
17.4.3.1 Addressing
Once the MSSP module has been enabled, it waits for
a S t art conditio n to occur. Following the S t art co ndition,
the 8 bits are shifted into the SSPSR register . All incom-
ing bits are sampled with the rising edge of the clock
(SCL) line. The value of register SSPSR<7:1> is
compared to the value of the SSPADD register. The
address is compared on the falling edge of the eighth
clock (SCL) pulse. If the addresses match and the BF
and SSPOV bits are clear, the following events occur:
1. The SSPSR register value is loaded into the
SSPBUF register.
2. The Buffer Full bit, BF, is set.
3. An ACK pulse is generated.
4. MSSP Interrupt Flag bit, SSPIF (PIR1<3>), is
set (interrupt is generated, if enabled) on the
falling edge of the ninth SCL pulse.
In 10-Bit Addressing mode, two address bytes need to
be received by the slave. The five Most Significant bits
(MSbs) o f the firs t address b yte specify if this i s a 10-b it
address. Bit R/W (SSPSTAT<2>) must specify a write
so the slave device will receive the second address
byte. For a 10-bit address, the first byte would equal
11110 A9 A8 0’, whereA9’ and ‘A8’ are the
two MSbs of the address. The sequence of events for
10-bit addressing is as follows, with steps 7 through 9
for the slave-transmitter:
1. Receive first (high) byte of address (bits SSPIF,
BF and UA (SSPSTAT<1>) are set).
2. Update the SSPADD register with second (low)
byte of a ddress (clea rs bit, UA, and relea ses the
SCL line).
3. Read the SSPBUF register (clears bit, BF) and
clear flag bit, SSPIF.
4. Receive second (low) byte of address (bits,
SSPIF, BF and UA, are set).
5. Update t he SSPADD register w ith the f irst (hig h)
byte of a ddre ss . If m at ch rel ea ses SCL line, thi s
will clear bit , UA.
6. Read the SSPBUF register (clears bit, BF) and
clear flag bit, SSPIF.
7. Receive Repeated Start condition.
8. Receive first (high) byte of address (bits, SSPIF
and BF, are set).
9. Read the SSPBUF register (clears bit, BF) and
clear flag bit, SSPIF.

PIC18F2525/2620/4525/4620
17.4.3.2 Reception
When the R/W bit of the address byte is clear and an
address match occurs, the R/W bit of the SSPSTAT
register is cleare d. The re ceived ad dre ss is loa ded in to
the SSPBUF register and the SDA line is held low
(ACK).
When the address byte overflow condition exists, then
the no Ack no w led ge (ACK) pulse is giv en. An ov erfl ow
conditi on is define d as eith er bit, BF (SSPSTA T< 0>), is
set, or bit, SSPOV (SSPCON1<6>), is set.
An MSSP interrupt is generated for each data transfer
byte. Flag bit, SSPIF (PIR1<3>), must be cleared in
software. The SSPSTAT register is used to determine
the status of the byte.
If SEN is enabled (SSPCON2<0> = 1), RC3/SCK/SCL
will be held low (clock stretch) following each data
transfer. The clock must be released by setting bit,
CKP (SSPCON<4>). See Section 17.4.4 “Clock
Stretching” for more detail.
17.4.3.3 Transmission
When the R/W bit of the incoming address byte is set
and an address match occurs, the R/W bit of the
SSPSTAT register is set. The received address is
loaded into the SSPBUF register. The ACK pulse will
be sent on the ninth bit and the RC3/SCK/SCL pin is
held low regardless of SEN (see Section 17.4.4
“Clock Stretching” for more detail). By stretching the
clock , the mast er will be unable to asse rt anothe r cloc k
pulse until the slave is done preparing the transmit
data. The transmit data must be loaded into the
SSPBUF registe r which also load s the SSPSR register .
Then the R C 3 /SCK /SCL p in s ho uld be e nabled by se t-
ting bit, CKP (SSPCON1<4>). The eight data bits are
shifted out on the falling edge of the SCL input. This
ensures that the SDA signal is valid during the SCL
high time (Figure 17-9).
The ACK pulse from the master-receiver is latched on
the rising edge of the nin th SCL input pu lse. If the SDA
line is high (not ACK), then the data transfer is
comple te. In thi s case , when the ACK is latched by the
slave, the slav e logic is rese t and the s lave monitors for
another occurrence of the Start bit. If the SDA line was
low (ACK), the next transmit data must be loaded into
the SSPBUF register. Again, the RC3/SCK/SCL pin
must be enabled by setting bit CKP.
An MSSP interrupt is generated for each data transfer
byte. The SSPIF bit must be cleared in software and
the SSPSTAT register is used to determine the status
of the byte. The SSPIF bit is set on the falling edge of
the ninth clock pulse.

17.4.4 CLOCK STRETCHING
Both 7-bit and 10-bit Slave modes implement
automatic cloc k s tre tch ing during a tran sm it sequenc e.
The SEN bit (SSPCON2<0>) al lows clock stretch ing to
be enabled during receives. Setting SEN will cause
the SCL pin to be held low at the end of each data
receive sequence.
17.4.4.1 Clock Stretching for 7-Bit Slave
Receive Mode (SEN = 1)
In 7-Bit Slave R ec ei ve mod e, on the falling edge of th e
ninth clock at the end of the ACK sequence if the BF
bit is set, the CKP bit in the SSPCON1 register is
automatically cleared, forcing the SCL output to be
held low. The CKP being cleared to ‘0’ will assert the
SCL line low. The CKP bit must be set in the users
ISR befo re recep tion i s allo wed to co ntinue . By hol ding
the SCL line low, the user has time to service the ISR
and read the contents of the SSPBUF before the
master device can initiate another receive sequence.
This will prevent buffer overruns from occurring (see
Figure 17-13).
17.4.4.2 Clock Stretching for 10-Bit Slave
Receive Mode (SEN = 1)
In 10-Bit Slave Receive mode during the address
sequence, clock stretching automatically takes place
but CKP is not c lea red . Duri ng t his time, if th e UA b it i s
set after the ninth clock, clock stretching is initiated.
The UA bit is set after receiving the upper byte of the
10-bit address and following the receive of the second
byte of the 10-bit address with the R/W bit cleared to
0’. The release of the clock line occurs upon updating
SSPADD. Clock stretching will occur on each data
receive sequence as described in 7-bit mode.
17.4.4.3 Clock Stretching for 7-Bit Slave
Transmit Mode
7-Bit Slave Transmit mode implements clock stretch-
ing by clearing the CKP bit after the falling edge of the
ninth clock if the BF bit is clear. This occurs regardless
of the state of the SEN bit.
The user’s ISR must set the CKP bit before transmis-
sion is allowed to continue. By holding the SCL line
low, the user has time to service the ISR and load the
contents of the SSPBUF before the master device can
initiate another transmit sequence (see Figure 17-9).
17.4.4.4 Clock Stretching for 10-Bit Slave
Transmit Mode
In 10-Bit Slave Transmit mode, clock stretching is
controlled during the first two address sequences by
the state of the UA bit, just as it is in 10-Bit Slave
Receive mode. The first two addresses are followed
by a third address sequence which contains the high-
order bits of the 10-bit address and the R/W bit set to
1’. After the third address sequence is performed, the
UA bit is not set, the module is now configured in
Transmit mode and clock stretching is controlled by
the BF flag as in 7-Bit Slave Transmit mode (see
Figure 17-11).
Note 1: If the user reads the contents of the
SSPBUF before the falling edge of the
ninth clock, thus clearing the BF bit, the
CKP bit will not be cleared and clock
stretching will not occur.
2: The CKP bit can be set in software
regardless of the state of the BF bit. The
user should be careful to clear the BF bit
in the ISR before the next receive
sequence in order to prevent an overflow
condition.
Note: If the user polls the UA bit and clears it by
updating the SSPADD register before the
falling ed ge of the ni nth c lock oc curs and if
the user hasn’t cleared the BF bit by read-
ing the SSPBUF register before that time,
then the CKP bit will still NOT be asserted
low. Clock stretching on the basis of the
state of the BF bit only occurs during a
data sequence, not an address sequence.
Note 1: If the user lo ads t he co nten t s of SSPBUF,
setting the BF bit before the falling edge of
the ninth clock, the CKP bit will not be
cleared and clock stretching will n ot occur .
2: The CKP bit can be set in software
regardless of the state of the BF bit.

17.4.4.5 Clock Synchronization and
the CKP bit
When the CKP bit is cleared, the SCL output is forced
to ‘0’. However, clearing the CKP bit will not assert the
SCL output low until the SCL output is already
sampled low. Therefore, the CKP bit will not assert the
SCL line until an external I2C master device has
already asserted the SCL line. The SCL output will
remain low until the CKP bit is set and all other
devices on the I2C bus have deasserted SCL. This
ensures that a write to the CKP bit will not violate the
minimum high time requirement for SCL (see
Figure 17-12).

17.4.5 GENERAL CALL ADDRESS
SUPPORT
The addressing procedure for the I2C bus is such that
the first byte after the Start condition usually
determines which device will be t he slave addressed by
the master. The exception is the general call address
which can address all devices. When this address is
used, all devices should, in theory, respond with an
Acknowledge.
The general call address is one of eight addresses
reserved for specific purposes by the I2C protocol. It
consists of all0’s with R/W = 0.
The general call address is recognized when the
General Call Enable bit, GCEN, is enabled
(SSPCON2<7> is set). Following a Start bit detect,
8 bits are shifted into the SSPSR and the address is
compared against the SSPADD. It is also compared to
the general call address and fixed in hardware.
If the general call address matches, the SSPSR is
transferre d to the S SPBUF, the BF flag bi t is set (ei ghth
bit) and on the falling edg e of the ninth bit (ACK bit), the
SSPIF interrupt flag bit is set.
When the interrupt is serviced, the source for the
interr upt can be checke d by readi ng the con tents of the
SSPBUF. The value can be used to determine if the
address was device specific or a general call address.
In 10-bit mode, the SSPADD is required to be updated
for the seco nd half of the addre ss to match an d the UA
bit (SSPSTAT<1>) is set. If the general call address is
sampled when the GCEN bit is set, while the slave is
configu red in 10-Bit Address ing m ode, then the sec ond
half of the address is not necessary, the UA bit will not
be set and the slave will begin receiving data after the
Acknowledge (Figure 17-15).

17.4.6 MASTER MODE
Master mode is enabled by setting and clearing the
appropria te SSPM bit s in SSPCON1 and by set ting the
SSPEN bit. In Master mode, the SCL and SDA lines
are manipulated by the MSSP hardware.
Master mode of operation is supported by interrupt
generation on the detection of the Start and Stop
conditions. The Stop (P) and Start (S) bits are cleared
from a Reset or when the MSSP module is disabled.
Control of the I 2C bus may be taken when the P bit is
set, or the bus is Idle, with both the S and P bits clear.
In Firmware Controlled Master mode, user code
conducts all I2C bus operations based on Start and
Stop bit conditions.
Once Master mode is enabled, the user has six
options.
1. Assert a Start condition on SDA and SCL.
2. Assert a Repeated Start condition on SDA and
SCL.
3. Write to the SSPBUF register initiating
transmission of data/address.
4. Configure the I2C port to receive data.
5. Generate an Acknowledge condition at the end
of a received byte of data.
6. Gene rate a Stop cond ition on SD A and SCL.
The following events will cause the MSSP Interrupt
Flag bit, SSPIF, to be set (MSSP interrupt, if enabled):
Start condition
Stop condition
Data transfer byte transmitted/received
Acknowledge transmit
Repeat ed Start
FIGURE 17-16: MSSP BLOCK DIAGRAM (I2C™ MASTER MODE)
Note: The MSSP module, when configured in
I2C Mast er mode, does n ot allow que ueing
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

17.4.6.1 I2C Master Mode Operation
The master device generates all of the serial clock
pulses and the S t a rt and Stop condition s. A transfer i s
ended with a Stop condition or with a Repeated Start
condition. Since the Repeated Start condition is also
the beginning of the next serial transfer , the I2C bus will
not be released.
In Master Transmitter mode, serial data is output
through SDA, while SCL outputs the serial clock. The
first byte transmitted contains the slave address of the
recei vin g dev ice ( 7 bits) and the Rea d/Writ e (R/W) bit.
In this case, the R/W bit wi ll be lo gic ‘0’. Ser ial da ta is
transmitted 8 bits at a time. After eac h byte i s t r ansm it-
ted, an Acknowledge bit is received. Start and Stop
conditions are output to indicate the beginning and the
end of a serial transfer.
In Master Receive mode, the first byte transmitted
contains the slave address of the transmitting device
(7 bits) and th e R/W bit. In this case, the R/W bit wil l be
logic ‘ 1’. Thus, the first byte transmitted is a 7-bit slave
address followed by a ‘1to indicate the receive bit.
Serial data is received via SDA, while SCL outputs the
serial clock. Serial data is received 8 bits at a time. Af ter
each byte is received, an Acknowledge bit is transmit-
ted. Start and Stop conditions indicate the beginning
and end of transmission.
The Baud Rate Generator used for the SPI mode
operation is used to set the SCL clock frequency for
either 100 kHz, 400 kHz or 1 MHz I2C operation. See
Section 17.4.7 “Baud Rate” for more detail.
A typical transmit sequence would go as follows:
1. The user generates a Start condition by setting
the Start Enable bit, SEN (SSPCON2<0>).
2. SSPIF is set. The MSSP module will wait the
required start time before any other operation
takes place.
3. The user loads the SSPBUF with the slave
address to transmit.
4. Address is s hi f ted out the SD A p in un til al l 8 bits
are transmitted.
5. The MSSP module shif t s in the ACK bit from the
slave device and writes its value into the
SSPCON2 register.
6. The MSSP mo dule g enerate s an interrup t at th e
end of th e ninth c lock cyc le by settin g the SSPIF
bit.
7. The user loads the SSPBUF with eight bits of
data.
8. Data i s sh ifte d out the SD A pin until all 8 bit s a re
transmitted.
9. The MSSP module shif t s in the ACK bit from the
slave device and writes its value into the
SSPCON2 register.
10. The MSSP modul e gene rates an int errupt a t the
end of th e ninth c lock cyc le by settin g the SSPIF
bit.
11. The user generates a Stop condition by setting
the Stop Enable bit, PEN (SSPCON2<2>).
12. Interrupt is ge nerated once the Stop c onditi on is
complete.

17.4.7 BAUD RATE
In I2C Master mode, the Baud Rate Generator (BRG)
reload value is placed in the lower 7 bits of the
SSPADD register (Figure 17-17). When a write occurs
to SSPBUF, the Baud Rate Generator will automatically
begin c oun tin g. Th e BR G counts down to ‘0 an d s tops
until an other re load h as t aken pl ace. Th e BRG c ount i s
decremented twice per instruction cycle (TCY) on the
Q2 and Q4 clocks. In I2C Master mode, the BRG is
reloaded automatically.
Once the given operation is complete (i.e., transmis-
sion of th e last dat a bit is followed by ACK), the int ernal
clock wi ll aut omatica lly st op count ing and t he SCL pin
will rema in in it s last state.
Table 17-3 demonstrates clock rates based on
instruction cycles and the BRG value loaded into
SSPADD.

17.4.7.1 Clock Arbitration
Clock arbitration occurs when the master, during any
receive, transmit or Repeated Start/Stop condition,
deasserts the SCL pin (SCL allowed to float high).
When the SCL pin is allowed to float high, the Baud
Rate Generator (BRG) is suspended from counting
until the SCL pin is actually sampled high. When the
SCL pin is sampled high, the Baud Rate Generator is
reloaded with the contents of SSPADD<6:0> and
begins counting. This ensures that the SCL high time
will always be at least one BRG rollover count in the
event that the clock is held low by an external device
(Figure 17-18).

17.4.8 I2C MASTER MODE START
CONDITION TIMING
To initiate a Start condition, the user sets the Start
Enable bit, SEN (SSPCON2<0>). If the SDA and SCL
pins are sampled high, the Baud Rate Generator is
reloaded with the cont ent s of SSPADD<6:0> and s tart s
its count. If SC L and SDA are both sam pl ed hig h whe n
the Baud Rate Generator times out (TBRG), the SDA
pin is driven low. The action of the SDA being driven
low whil e SC L is hig h is the Start con di tion and cau se s
the S bit (SSPSTAT<3>) to be set. Following this, the
Baud Rate Generator is reloaded with the contents of
SSPADD<6:0> and res um es it s cou nt. Wh en the Bau d
Rate Generator times out (TBRG), the SEN bit
(SSPCON2<0>) will be automatically cleared by
hardware; the Baud Rate Generator is suspended,
leavin g th e SD A l in e h eld lo w and th e Start co ndi tio n i s

17.4.8.1 WCOL Status Flag
If the user writes the SSPBUF when a Start sequence
is in progress, the WCOL is set and the contents of the
buffer are unchanged (the write doesn’t occur).
FIGURE 17-19: FIRST START BIT TIMING
Note: If at the beginning of the Start condition,
the SDA and SCL pins are already sam-
pled low , or if during the S tart 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.
Note: Because queueing of events is not
allowed, writing to the lower 5 bits of

17.4.9 I2C MASTER MODE REP EA TED
START CONDITION TIMING
A Repeated Start condition occurs when the RSEN bit
(SSPCON2<1>) is programmed high and the I2C logic
module is in the Idle state. When the RSEN bit is set,
the SCL pin is asserted low. When the SCL pin is
sampled low, the Baud Rate Generator is loaded with
the contents of SSPADD<5:0> and begins counting.
The SDA pin is released (brought high) for one Baud
Rate Generator count (TBRG). When the Baud Rate
Generator times out, if SDA is sampled high, the SCL
pin will be deasserted (brought high). When SCL is
sampled high, the Baud Rate Generator is reloaded
with the contents of SSPADD<6:0> and begins count-
ing. SDA and SCL mu st be sampled high for one TBRG.
This ac tion is the n followed by assertio n of the SDA pin
(SDA = 0) for one TBRG while SCL is high. Following
this, the RSEN bit (SSPCON2<1>) will be automatically
cleared and the Baud Rate Generator will not be
reloaded, leaving the SDA pin held low. As soon as a
Start condition is detected on the SDA and SCL pins,
the S bit (SSPSTAT<3>) will be set. The SSPIF bit will
not be set until the Ba ud Rate Generato r has timed out.
Immediately following the SSPIF bit getting set, the user
may write the SSPBUF with the 7-bit address in 7-bit
mode, or the default first address in 10-bit mode. After
the first eight bits are transmitted and an ACK is
received, the user may then transmit an additional eight
bits of address (10-bit mode) or eight bits of data (7-bit
mode).
17.4.9.1 WCOL Status Flag
If the user writes the SSPBUF when a Repeated Start
sequence is in progress, the WCOL is set and the
contents of the bu f fer are un ch anged (th e write doesn’t
occur).
FIGURE 17-20: REPEAT START CONDITION WAVEFORM

event is in progress, it will not take effect.

17.4.10 I2C MASTER MODE TRANS MISSI ON
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 Buf fer Ful l flag bi t, BF and allo w the Baud Rate
Generator to begin counting and start the next
transmission. Each bit of address/data will be shifted
out onto the SDA pin after the falling edge of SCL is
asserted (see data hold time specification
parameter 106). SCL is held low for one Baud Rate
Generator rollover count (TBRG). Data should be valid
before SCL is released high (see data setup time
specification parameter 107). When the SCL pin is
release d hi gh , it is hel d that way f or TBRG. The data on
the SDA pin must remain stable for that duration and
some ho ld time afte r the nex t falling e dge of SC L. Af ter
the eigh th bit is shif ted out (the falling edge of the eighth
cloc k), the BF f lag is cle ared an d th e master releas es
SDA. This allows the slave device being addressed to
respond with an ACK bit dur ing t he nint h bit time i f an
address match occurred, or if data was received
properly. The status of ACK is written into the ACKDT
bit on the falling edge of the ninth clock. If the master
receive s an Ack now ledge, the Acknow ledg e St atus bi t,
ACKSTA T, is cl eared. If not, t he bit is se t. 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 17-21).
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
deassert the SDA pin, allowing the slave to respond
with an Acknowledge. On the falling edge of the ninth
cloc k, the mast er wil l sam ple the SDA pin to see if t he
address was recognized by a slave. The status of the
ACK bit is loaded into the ACKSTAT status bit
(SSPCON2<6>). Followi ng the falling edg e 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.
17.4.10.1 BF Status Flag
In Transmit mode, the BF bit (SSPSTAT<0>) is set
when the CPU writes to SSPBUF and is cleared when
all 8 bits are shifted out.
17.4.10.2 WCOL Status Flag
If the user writes the SSPBUF when a transmit is
already in progress (i.e., SSPSR is still shifting out a
data byte), the WCO L flag is se t and the conte nts of the
buffer are unchanged (the write doesn’t occur) after
2TCY after the SSPBUF write. If SSPBUF is rewritten
within 2 TCY, the WCOL bit is set and SSPBUF is
updated. This may result in a corrupted transfer. The
user should verify that the WCOL flag is clear after
each write to SSPBUF to ensure the trans fer is correct.
17.4.10.3 ACKSTAT Status Flag
In T ran smit mod e, the ACKSTAT bit (SSPCON2<6>) is
cleared when the slave has sent an Acknowledge
(ACK =0) and is set when the slav e does not Acknowl-
edge (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.
17.4.11 I2C MASTER MODE RECEPTI ON
Master mode recepti on is enabl ed by pro grammin g th e
Receive Enable bit, RCEN (SSPCON2<3>).
The Baud Rate Generator begins counting and on each
rollove r, the state of the SCL pin ch anges (high-to-l ow /
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 bi t is set and the Baud Ra te Gener-
ator is s uspen ded from countin g, hold ing SC L low. The
MSSP is now in Idle state awaiting the next command.
When the buffer is read by the CPU, the BF flag bit is
automatically cleared. The user can then send an
Acknowledge bit at the end of reception by setting the
Acknowledge Sequence Enable bit, ACKEN
(SSPCON2<4>).
17.4.11.1 BF Status Flag
In receiv e op eration, the B F bit is s et whe n an add r es s
or data byte is loaded into SSPBUF from SSPSR. It is
cleared when the SSPBUF register is read.
17.4.11.2 SSPOV Status Flag
In receive operation, the SSPOV bit is set when 8 bits
are received into the SSPSR and the BF flag bit is
already set from a previous reception.
17.4.11.3 WCOL Status Flag
If the user writes the SSPBUF when a receive is
already in progress (i.e., SSPSR is still shifti ng in a data
byte), th e WCOL bi t is set an d the conte nts of th e buffer
are unchanged (the write doesn’t occur).
Note: The MSSP module must be in an Idle state
before the RCEN bit is set or t he RCEN bit
will be disregarded.

17.4.12 ACKNOWLEDGE SEQUENCE
TIMING
An Acknowledge sequence is enabled by setting the
Acknowledge Sequence Enable bit, ACKEN
(SSPCON2<4>). When this bit is set, the SCL pin is
pulled low and the contents of the Acknowledge data bit
are presented on the SDA pin. If the use r wishes to gen-
erate 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 17-23).
17.4.12.1 WCOL Status Flag
If the user writes the SSPBUF when an Acknowledge
sequence is in progress, then WCOL is set and the
contents of the bu f fer are un chang ed (th e write doe sn ’t
occur).
17.4.13 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 (SSPCON2<2>). At the end of a receive/
transmit, the SCL line is held low after the falling edge
of the ninth clock. When the PEN bit is set, the master
will assert the SDA line low. When the SDA line is
sample d low , th e Baud Rate G enerator is re loaded an d
counts down to 0. When the Baud Rate Generator
times out, the SCL pin will be brought high and one
TBRG (Baud Rate Generator rollover count) later, the
SDA pin will be deasserted. When the SDA pin is
sampled high while SCL is high, the P bit
(SSPSTAT<4>) is set. A TBRG later, the PEN bit is
cleared and the SSPIF bit is set (Figure 17-24).
17.4.13.1 WCOL Status Flag
If the user writes the SSPBUF when a Stop sequence
is in progress, then the WCOL bit is set and the
contents of the bu f fer are un ch anged (th e write doesn’t
occur).

17.4.14 SLEEP OPERATION
While in Sleep mode, the I2C 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).
17.4.15 EFFECTS OF A RESET
A Reset disable s the MSSP module and termina tes the
current transfer.
17.4.16 MULTI-MAST ER MODE
In Multi-Master mode, the interrupt generation on the
detection of the Start and Stop conditions allows the
deter mination of when the bus i s free. The S top (P) and
Start (S) bits are cleared from a Reset or when the
MSSP module is disabled. Control of the I 2C b us may
be taken when the P bit (SSPSTAT<4>) is set, or the
bus is Idle, with both the S and P bits clear. When the
bus is busy, enabling the MSSP interrupt will generate
the interrupt when the Stop condition occurs.
In multi-master operation, the SDA line must be
monitored for arbitration to see if the signal level is the
expected output level. This check is performed in
hardware with the result placed in the BCLIF bit.
The states where arbitration can be lost are:
Address Transfe r
Data Transfer
A Start Condition
A Repeated Start Condition
An Acknowledge Condition
17.4.17 MU L TI - M A STE R COMM U N ICATI O N ,
BUS COLLI SION AND BU S
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 ‘1on 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 a1’ and the da t a s am ple d on th e SDA pin = 0,
then a bus collision has taken place. The master will set
the Bus Collision Interrupt Flag, BCLIF, and reset the
I2C port to its Idle state (Figure 17-25).
If a transmit was in progress when the bus collision
occurred, the transmission is halted, the BF flag is
cleared, the SDA and SCL lines are deasserted and the
SSPBUF can b e written to. When the us er servic es th e
bus collision Interrupt Service Routine, and if the I2C
bus is free, the user can resume communication by
asserting a Start condition.
If a Start, Repeated Start, Stop or Acknowledge
condition was in progress when the bus collision
occurred, the condition is aborted, the SDA and SCL
lines are deasserted and the respective control bits in
the SSPCON2 register are cleared. When the user ser-
vices the bus collision Interrupt Service Routine, and if
the I2C bus is free, the user can resume com munication
by asserting a Start condition.
The master will continue to monitor the SDA and SCL
pins. If a Stop condition occurs, the SSPIF bit will be set.
A write to the SSPBUF will start the transmission of
data at the first data bit, regardless of where the
transmitter left off when the bus collision occurred.
In Multi-Master mode, the interrupt generation on the
detection of Start and Stop conditions allows the
determination of when the bus is free. Control of t he I2C
bus can be t aken when the P bit is set in the SSPSTAT
register, or the bus is Idle and the S and P bits are
cleared.

17.4.17.1 Bus Collision During a
Start Condition
During a Start condition, a bus collision occurs if:
a) SDA or SCL are sampled low at the begi nning of
the Start condition (Figure 17-26).
b) SCL is sam pl ed l ow be fore SDA is as se rted low
(Figure 17-27).
During a Start condition, both the SDA and the SCL
pins are monitored.
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 17-26).
The Start condition begins with the SDA and SCL pins
deasserted. When the SDA pin is sampled high, the
Baud Rate Generator is loaded from SSPADD<6:0>
and counts down to 0. If the SCL pin is sampled low
while SDA is high, a bus collision occurs because it is
assumed that another master is attempting to drive a
data ‘ 1’ dur ing the Start condition.
If the SDA pin is sampled low during this count, the
BRG is reset and the SDA line is asserted early
(Figure 17-28). If, however , a ‘1’ is sampled on the SDA
pin, the SDA pin is as sert ed low at the end of the B RG
count. The Baud Rate Generator is then reloaded and
counts down to 0; if the SCL pin is sampled as ‘0
duri ng this time , a bus colli sion does not occur. At the
end of t he BRG co unt , the SCL pin is a ss erte d lo w.
FIGURE 17-26: BUS COLLISION DURING START CONDITION (SDA ONLY)
Note: The reason that bus collision is not a factor
duri ng a Start cond iti on is that no t wo bus
masters can assert a St art condition at the
exact same time. Therefore, one master
will always assert SDA before the other.
This condition does not cause a bus
collis ion because the two masters must be
allowed to arbitrate the first address
follow ing the S tar t condit ion. If the addres s
is the sam e, arbitr ation must be allowed to
continue into the data portion, Repeated
Start or Stop conditions.

17.4.17.2 Bus Collision During a Repeated
Start Condition
During a Repeated Start condition, a bus collision
occu rs if:
a) A low level is sampled on SDA when SCL goes
from low level to high level.
b) SCL goes low before SDA is asserted low,
indicating that another master is attempting to
transmit a data ‘1’.
When the user dea sserts SDA and the pin is a llowed to
float high, the BRG is loaded with SSPADD<6:0> and
counts down to 0. The SCL pin is then deasserted and
when sampled high, the SDA pin is sampled.
If SDA is low, a bus collision has occurred (i.e., another
master is attempting to transmit a data ‘0’, Figure 17-29).
If SDA is sampled high, the BRG is relo aded 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 exac tly the sam e time.
If SCL goes from high-to-low before the BRG times out
and SDA has not alread y been asserted, a bus collision
occurs. In this case, another master is attempting to
transmi t a data ‘1’ durin g t he R e pea ted Start co ndi tio n,
see Figure 17-30.
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.

17.4.17.3 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) Aft er the SCL pin is deasserted, SCL is sample d
low before SDA goes high.
The Stop condition begins with SDA asserted low.
When SDA is sampled low, the SCL pin is allowed to
floa t. Wh en t he p in i s sa mpled hig h (c loc k arbi tr atio n),
the Baud R ate Generator is load ed with SSP AD D<6:0>
and cou nt s d own to 0 . After the BRG tim es o ut, SDA i s
sampled. If SDA is sampled low, a bus collision has
occurred. This is due to another master attempting to
drive a data ‘0’ (Figure 17-31). If the SCL pin is
sample d lo w befo re SD A is all owed to flo at hi gh , a bu s
collis ion occ urs. Thi s is anoth er case of a nother m aster
attempting to drive a data ‘0’ (Figure 17-32).

18.0 ENHANCED UNIVERSAL
SYNCHRONOUS RECEIVER
TRANSMITTER (EUSART)
The Enhanced Universal Synchronous Asynchronous
Receiver Transmitter (EUSART) module is one of the
two serial I/ O modules. (G enerically, the USAR T is also
known as a Serial Communications Interface or SCI.)
The EUSART can be configured as a full-duplex
asynchronous system that can communicate with
peripheral devices, such as CRT terminals and
personal computers. It can also be configu red as a half-
duplex synchronous system that can communicate
with peripheral devices, such as A/D or D/A integrated
circuits, serial EEPROMs, etc.
The Enhanced USART module implements additional
features, including automatic baud rate detection and
calibration, automatic wake-up on Sync Break recep-
tion and 12-bit B reak chara cter transm it. These make it
ideally suited for us e in Local I nterconnect Ne twork bus
(LIN bus) systems.
The EUSART can be configured in the following
modes:
Asynchronous (full duplex) with:
- Auto-wake-up on character reception
- Auto-baud calibration
- 12-bit Break charac ter tran sm is si on
Synchronous – Master (half duplex) with
selectable clock polarity
Synchron ous – Sl ave (half duplex) with sele ctable
clock polarity
The pins of the Enhanced USART are multiplexed
with PORTC. In order to configure RC6/TX/CK and
RC7/RX/DT as a USART:
SPEN bit (RCSTA<7>) must be set (= 1)
TRISC<7> bit must be set (= 1)
TRISC<6> bit must be set (= 1)
The operation of the Enhanced USART module is
controlled through three registers:
Transmit Status and Control (TXSTA)
Receive Status and Control (RCSTA)
Baud Rate Control (BAUDCON)
These are detailed on the following pages in
Register 18-1, Register 18-2 and Register 18-3,
respectively.
Note: The EUSART control will automatically
reconfigure the pin from input to output as
needed.

18.1 Baud Rate Generator (BRG)
The BRG is a dedicated 8-bit or 16-bit generator that
supports both the Asynchronous and Synchronous
modes of the EUSART. By default, the BRG operates
in 8-bit mode; setting the BRG16 bit (BAUDCON<3>)
selects 16-bit mode.
The SPBRGH:SPB RG registe r p air co ntro ls the perio d
of a free-running timer. In Asynchronous mode, bits,
BRGH (TXST A<2> ) and BRG16 (BAUDCON<3>), also
control the baud rate. In Synchronous mode, BRGH is
ignored. Table 18-1 shows th e fo rmu la f or c om putation
of the baud rate for different EUSART modes which
only a pply i n Ma ste r mode (int ernall y gen erated clo ck).
Given the desired baud rate and FOSC, the nearest
integer value for the SPBRGH:SPBRG registers can be
calculated using the formulas in Table 18-1. From this,
the error in baud rate can be determined. An example
calculation is shown in Example 18-1. Typical baud
rates and error values for the various Asynchronous
modes are shown in T able 18-2. It may be advantageous
to use the high baud rate (BRGH = 1) or the 16-bit BRG
to reduce the baud rate error, or achieve a slow baud
rate for a fast oscillator frequency.
Writing any value (even the same value) to the
SPBRGH:SPBRG registers immediately reloads the
BRG timer. This may corrupt a transmission or recep-
tion already in progress. This ensures the BRG does
not wait for a timer overflow before outputting the new
baud rate.
18.1.1 OPERATI ON IN POWE R-M AN AGED
MODES
The device clock is used to generate the desired baud
rate. When one of the power-managed modes is
entered, the new clock source may be operating at a
different frequency. This may require an adjustment to
the value in the SPBRG register pair.
18.1.2 SAMPLING
The data on the RX pin is sampled three times by a
majority detect circuit to determine if a high or a low
level is present at the RX pin when SYNC is clear or
when BRG16 and BRGH are both not set. The data on
the RX pin is sam pled o nce wh en SYNC is set o r whe n
BRGH16 and BRGH are both set.

EXAMPLE 18-1: CALCULATING BAUD RATE ERROR
TABLE 18-2: REGISTERS ASSOCIATED WITH BAUD RATE GENERATOR
For a device wit h FOSC of 16 MHz, desire d baud rate of 960 0, Asynchronous mode, 8-b it BRG:
Desired B aud Rate = FOSC/(64 ([SPBRGH:SPBRG] + 1))
Solving for SPBRGH:SPBRG:
X=((FOSC/Desired Baud Rate)/64) – 1
= ((16000000/ 9600) /64) – 1
= [25.042] = 25
Calcu lated Baud Rate = 16000000/(64 (25 + 1))
= 9615
Error = (Calculated Baud Rate – Desired Baud Rate )/ De sired Baud Rate
= (9615 – 9600)/9600 = 0.16%

18.1.3 AUTO-BAUD RATE DETECT
The Enhan ced USART module s up ports the au tomati c
detection and calibration of baud rate. This feature is
active only in Asynchronous mode and while the WUE
bit is clear.
The automatic baud rate measurement sequence
(Figure 18-1) begins whenever a Start bit is received
and the ABDEN bit is set. The calculation is
self-averaging.
In the Auto-Bau d Rate Detect (ABD) mode, the clock to
the BRG i s reversed. Rather than the BR G clocking the
incomi ng RX signal, the RX signal is tim ing the BRG. In
ABD mode, the internal Baud Rate Generator is used
as a coun ter to time the bit p eriod of the inco ming serial
byte stream.
Once the ABDEN bit is set, the state machine will clear
the BRG and look for a Start bit. The Auto-Baud Rate
Detect must receive a byte with the value, 55h (ASCII
“U”, which is also the LIN bus Sync character), in order
to calculate the proper bit rate. The measurement is
taken over both a low and a high bit time in order to min-
imize any effects caused by asymmetry of the incoming
signal. After a Start bit, the SPBRG begins counting up,
using the preselected clock source on the first rising
edge of RX. After eight bit s on the RX pin or the fif th ris-
ing edge, an accumulated value totalling the proper BRG
period is lef t in the SPBRGH:SPBRG register pair. Once
the 5th edge is seen (this should correspond to the Stop
bit), the ABDEN bit is automatically cleared.
If a rollover of the BRG occurs (an overflow from FFFFh
to 0000h), the event is trapped by the ABDOVF status
bit (BAUDCON<7>). It is set in hardware by BRG
rollovers and can be set or cleared by the user in
software. ABD mode remains active after rollover
eve nts and the A BDEN bit remains set (Figure 18-2).
While calibrating the baud rate period, the BRG
registers are clocked at 1/8th the preconfigured clock
rate. Note that the BRG clock will be configured by the
BRG16 and BRGH bits. Independent of the BRG16 bit
setting, bo th the SPBRG and SPBRGH will b e u sed a s
a 16-bit counter. This allows the user to verify that no
carry occurred for 8-bit modes by checking for 00h in
the SPBRGH register. Refer to Table 18-4 for counter
clock rates to the BRG.
While the ABD sequence takes place, the EUSART
state machine is held in Idle. The RCIF interrupt is set
once the fifth rising edge on RX is detected. The value
in the RCREG needs to be read to clear the RCIF
interrupt. The contents of RCREG should be discarded.
TABLE 18-4: BRG COUNTER
CLOCK RATES
18.1.3.1 ABD and EUSART Transmission
Since the BRG clock is reversed during ABD acquisi-
tion, the EUSART transmitter cannot be used during
ABD. This means that whenever the ABDEN bit is set,
TXREG ca nnot be writte n to. Users shou ld also en sure
that ABDEN does not become set during a transmit
sequenc e. Faili ng to do this m ay resul t in unp redict able
EUSART operation.
Note 1: If the WUE bit is set with the ABDEN bit,
Auto-Baud Rate Detection will occur on
the byte following the Break character.
2: It is up to the user to determine that the
incomi ng character ba ud rate is within th e
range of the selected BRG clock source.
Some combinations of oscillator frequency
and EUSART baud rates are not possible
due to bit error rates. Overall system
timing and communication baud rates
must be taken into consideration when
using the Auto-Baud Rate Detection
feature.

independent of BRG16 setting.

18.2 EUSART Asynchronous Mode
The Asynchronous mode of operation is selected by
clearing the SYNC bit (TXSTA<4>). In this mode, the
EUSART uses standard Non-Return-to-Zero (NRZ)
format (one Start bit, eight or nine data bits and one
Stop bit). The most common data format is 8 bits. An
on-chip dedicated 8-bit/16-bit Baud Rate Generator
can be used to derive standard baud rate frequencies
from the osci lla tor.
The EUSART transmits and receives the LSb first. The
EUSART’s transmitter and receiver are functionally
independent but use the same data format and baud
rate. The Baud Rate Generator produces a clock, either
x16 or x64 of the bit shift rate depending on the BRGH
and BRG16 bits (TXST A<2> and BAUDCON<3>). Parity
is not supported by the hardware but can be
implemented in software and stored as the 9th dat a bit.
When operating in Asynchronous mode, the EUSART
module consists of the following important elements:
Baud Rate Generator
Sampling Circuit
Asynchronous Transmitter
Asynchronous Receiver
Auto-Wake-up on Sync Break Character
12-Bit Break Character Transmit
Auto-Ba ud Rate Detec tio n
18.2.1 EUSART ASYNCHRONOUS
TRANSMITTER
The EUSART transmitter block diagram is shown in
Figure 18-3. The heart of the transmitter is the T ransmit
(Serial) Shift Register (TSR). The Shi f t regi ster obtain s
its data from the Read/Write Transmit Buffer register,
TXREG. The TXREG register is loaded with data in
softw are . Th e TSR re gi st e r is not lo ad e d un ti l t he Stop
bit has been transmitted from the previous load. As
soon as the Stop bit is transmitted, the TSR is loaded
with new data from the TXREG register (if available).
Once the TXREG register transfers the data to the TSR
register (occurs in one TCY), the TXREG register is empty
and the TXIF flag bit (PIR1<4>) is set. This interrupt can
be enab led or di sabled by s etting or clearing the in terrupt
enable bit, TXIE (PIE1<4>). TXIF will be se t regardless of
the stat e of TX I E; i t ca nn ot b e cl ea re d in so ftw ar e. T XIF
is also not cleared immediately upon loading TXREG, but
becomes valid in the second instruction cycle following
the lo ad instru ct ion. Poll ing T XIF imme diate ly f ollo win g a
load o f TXREG wi ll re turn inva li d res ul ts.
While TXIF indicates the status of the TXREG register,
another bit, TRMT (TXSTA<1>), shows the status of
the TSR register. TRMT is a read-only bit which is set
when the TSR register is empty. No interrupt logic is
tied to this bit so the user has to poll this bit in order to
determine if the TSR register is empty.
To set up an Asynchronous Transmission:
1. Initialize the SPBRGH:SPBRG registers for the
appropriate baud rate. Set or clear the BRGH
and BRG16 bits, as required, to achieve the
desired baud rate.
2. Enable the asy nch ron ous seri al port by clearin g
bit, SYNC, and setting bit, SPEN.
3. If interrupts are desired, set enable bit, TXIE.
4. If 9-bit transmission is desired, set transmit bit,
TX9. Can be used as address/data bit.
5. Enable the transmission by setting bit, TXEN,
which will also set bit, TXIF.
6. If 9-bit transmission is selected, the ninth bit
should be loaded in bit, TX9D.
7. Load data to the TXREG register (starts
transmission).
8. If using interrup ts, ensu re that the GIE and PEIE
bits in the INTCON register (INTCON<7:6>) are
set.

18.2.2 EUSART ASYNCHRONOUS
RECEIVER
The receiver block diagram is shown in Figure 18-6.
The data is receive d on th e R X pin an d driv es the da ta
recovery block. The data recovery block is actually a
high-sp eed shif ter operating at x16 ti mes the baud rate,
whereas the main receive serial shifter operates at the
bit rate or at FOSC. This mode would typically be used
in RS-232 systems.
To set up an Asynchronous Reception:
1. Initialize the SPBRGH:SPBRG registers for the
appropriate baud rate. Set or clear the BRGH
and BRG16 bits, as required, to achieve the
desired baud rate.
2. Enable the asynchronous serial port by clearing
bit, SYNC, and setting bit, SPEN.
3. If interrupts are desired, set enable bit, RCIE.
4. If 9-bit reception is desired, set bit, RX9.
5. Enable the reception by setting bit, CREN.
6. Flag bit, RCIF, will be set when reception is
complete and an interrupt will be generated if
enable bit, RCIE, was set.
7. Read the RCSTA register to get the 9th bit (if
enabled) and determine if any error occurred
during r eception.
8. Read the 8-bit received data by reading the
RCREG register.
9. If any error occurred, clear the error by clearing
enable bit, CRE N.
10. If using interrupt s, e nsure tha t the G IE and PEIE
bits in the INTCON register (INTCON<7:6>) are
set.
18.2.3 SETTING UP 9-BIT MODE WITH
ADDRESS DETECT
This mode would typically be used in RS-485 systems.
To set up an Asynchronous Reception with Address
Detect Enable:
1. Initialize the SPBRGH:SPBRG registers for the
appropriate baud rate. Set or clear the BRGH
and BRG16 bits, as required, to achieve the
desired baud rate.
2. Enable the asy nch ron ous seri al port by clearin g
the SYNC bit and setting the SPEN bit.
3. If interrupts are required, set the RCIE bit and
select the desired pr iority level with the RCIP bit.
4. Set the RX9 bit to enable 9-bit reception.
5. Set the ADDEN bit to enable address detect.
6. Enable reception by setting the CREN bit.
7. The RCIF bit will be set when reception is
complete. The interrupt will be Acknowledged if
the RCIE and GIE bits are set.
8. Read the RCSTA register to determine if any
error occurred during reception, as well as read
bit 9 of data (i f applicable).
9. Read RCREG to determine if the device is being
addressed.
10. If any error occurred, clear the CREN bit.
11. If the device has been addressed, clear the
ADDEN bit to allow all received data into the
receive buffer and interrupt the CPU.

TABLE 18-6: REGISTERS ASSOCIATED WITH ASYNCHRONOUS RECEPTION
18.2.4 AUTO-WAKE-UP ON SYNC
BREAK CHARACTER
During Sleep mode, all clocks to the EUSART are
suspended. Because of this, the Baud Rate Generator
is inactive and a proper byte reception cannot be per-
formed. Th e auto-wak e-up feature al lows the cont roller
to wake-up due to activity on the RX/DT line while the
EUSART is operating in Asynchronous mode.
The auto-wake-up feature is enabled by setting the
WUE bit (BAUDCON<1>). Once set, the typical receive
sequence on RX/DT is disabled and the EUSART
remains in an Idle state, mon itoring 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 Sign al cha r acter for the LIN protoc ol .)
Following a wake-up event, the module generates an
RCIF interrupt. The interrupt is generated synchro-
nously to the Q clocks in normal operating modes
(Figure 18-8) and asynchronously, if the device is in
Sleep mode (Figure 18-9). The interrupt condition is
cleared by reading the RCREG register.
The WUE bit is automatically cleared once a low-to-
high transition is observed on the RX line following the
wake-up e ve nt. At th is poi nt, the EUSAR T mo dul e i s i n
Idle mode and retur ns to normal operation. This signals
to the user that the Sync Break event is over.

18.2.4.1 Special Considerations Using
Auto-Wake-up
Since auto-wake-up functions by sensing rising edge
transitions on RX/DT, information with any state
change s before the Stop bit may s ignal a false End-O f-
Character (EOC) and cause data or framing errors. To
work properly, therefore, the initial character in the
transmission must be all ‘0’s. Thi s can be 00h (8 byte s)
for standard RS-232 devices or 000h (12 bits) for LIN
bus.
Oscillator start-up time must also be considered,
especially in applications using oscillators with longer
start-up intervals (i.e., XT or HS mode). The Sync
Break (or wake-up signal) character must be of
suf f ic ien t len gth and be followed by a sufficien t inte rval
to allow enough time for the selected oscillator to start
and provide proper initialization of the EUSART.
18.2.4.2 Special Considerations Using
the WUE Bit
The timi ng of WUE and R CIF e vents ma y cause so me
confusion when it comes to determining the validity of
received data. As noted, setting the WUE bit places the
EUSART in an Idle mode. The wake-up event causes a
receive interrupt by setting the RCIF bit. The WUE bit is
cleared after this when a rising edge is seen on RX/DT.
The interrupt condition is then cleared by reading the
RCREG register. Ordinarily, the data in RCREG will be
dummy data and should be disca rded.
The fact that the WUE bit has been cleared (or is still
set) and the RCIF flag is set should not be used as an
indicator of the integrity of the data in RCREG. Users
should consider implementing a parallel method in
firmware to verify received data integrity.
To as sur e th at no a ctu al da ta is lo st, check the R CID L
bit to ve rify th at a receive ope rati on is not in proces s. If
a receive operation is not occurring, the WUE bit may
then be set just prior to entering the Sleep mode.

18.2.5 BREAK CHARACTER SEQUENCE
The EUSART mod ule ha s t he c apabili ty of s en din g th e
special Break chara cter sequences that are required by
the LIN bus standard. The Break character transmit
cons ists of a Start bit, foll owed by tw elve ‘ 0’ bits and a
Stop bit. The Frame Break character is sent whenever
the SENDB and TXEN bits (TXSTA<3> and
TXSTA<5>) are se t wh ile the Trans mit Shift R egi ste r i s
loaded with data. Note that the value of data written to
TXREG will be ignored and all ‘0’s will be transmitted.
The SENDB bit is automatically reset by hardware af ter
the correspon din g Stop bit is s ent. This al lo w s the us er
to preloa d the trans mit FIFO with the n ext transm it byte
following the Break character (typically, the Sync
character in the LIN specification).
Note that the data value written to the TXREG for the
Break ch aracter is ignored. Th e write si mply se rves the
purpose of initiating the proper sequence.
The TRMT bit indicates when the transmit operation is
active or Idle, just as it does during normal transmis-
sion. See Figure 18-10 for the timing of the Break
character sequence.
18.2.5.1 Brea k and Sync Trans mi t Seque nc e
The following sequence will send a message frame
header ma de up of a Break, followed by an Auto-Bau d
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 set up the
Break character.
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 transm it FIFO buf fe r.
5. After the Break has bee n sent, th e SENDB bit is
reset by hardware. The Sync character now
transmi t s in the prec onfigured mode.
When the TXR EG b ec om es em pty, as indica ted by th e
TXIF, the next data byte can be written to TXREG.
18.2.6 RECEIVING A BREAK CHARACTER
The Enhanced USART module can receive a Break
character in two ways.
The first method forces configuration of the baud rate
at a freq uency of 9/ 13 the typi cal spee d. This allow s for
the S top bit transition to be at the correct samp ling loca-
tion (13 bi ts for Break v ersus S tart bi t and 8 data bi ts for
typical data).
The second method uses the auto-wake-up feature
describ ed in Section 18.2.4 “Auto-Wake-up on Sync
Break Character”. By enabling this feature, the
EUSART will sample the next two transitions on RX/DT,
cause an RCIF interru pt and receiv e the n ext da ta byte
followed by another interrupt.
Note that following a Break character, the user will
typically want to enable the Auto-Baud Rate Detect
feature. Fo r both methods, th e user can set the ABD bit
once the TXIF interrupt is observed.

18.3 EUSART Synchronous
Master Mode
The Synchronous Master mode is entered by setting
the CSRC bit (TXSTA<7>). In this mode, the data is
transmitted in a half-duplex manner (i.e., transmission
and reception do not occur at the same time). When
transmitting data, the reception is inhibited and vice
versa. Synchronous mode is entered by setting bit,
SYNC (TXSTA<4>). In addition, enable bit, SPEN
(RCSTA<7>), is set in order to configure the TX and RX
pins to CK (clock) and DT (data) lines, respectively.
The Master mode indicates that the processor
transmits the master clock on the CK line. Clock
polarity is selected with the TXCKP bit
(BAUDCON<4>); setting TXCKP sets the Idle state on
CK as high, while clearing the bit sets the Idle state as
low. This option is provided to support Microwire
devices with this module.
18.3.1 EUSART SYNCHRONOUS MASTER
TRANSMISSION
The EUSART transmitter block diagram is shown in
Figure 18-3. The heart of the transmitter is the T ransmit
(Serial) Shift Register (TSR). The Shi f t regi ster obtain s
its data from the Read/Write Transmit Buffer register,
TXREG. The TXREG register is loaded with data in
software. The TSR register is not loaded until the last
bit has been transmitted from the previous load. As
soon as the last bit is transmitted, the TSR is loaded
with new data from the TXREG (if available).
Once the TXR EG register tr ansfers the dat a to the TSR
register (occurs in one TCY), the TXR EG is empt y a nd
the TXIF flag bit (PIR1<4>) is set. The interrupt ca n be
enabl ed o r dis abl ed by sett ing or clea ri ng the inte rrup t
enable bit, TXIE (PIE1<4>). TXIF is set regardless of
the state of enable bit, TXIE; it cannot be cleared in
softw are. It will reset o nly wh en new dat a i s load ed in to
the TXREG register.
While flag bit, TXIF, indicates the status of the TXREG
register, another bit, TRMT (TXSTA<1>), shows the
status of the TSR register . TRMT is a read-only b it which
is set when the TSR is empty. No interrupt logic is tied to
this bit so the user has to poll this bit in order to deter-
mine if the TSR register is empty. The TSR is not
mapped in dat a memory so it is not available to the user .
To set up a Synchronous Master Transmission:
1. Initialize the SPBRGH:SPBRG registers for the
appropriate baud rate. Set or clear the BRG16
bit, as required, to achieve the desired baud rate.
2. Enable the synchronous master serial port by
setting bits, SYNC, SPEN and CSRC.
3. If interrupts are desired, set enable bit, TXIE.
4. If 9-bit transmission is desired, set bit, TX9.
5. Enable the transmiss ion by setting bit, TXEN.
6. If 9-bit transmission is selected, the ninth bit
should be loaded in bit, TX9D.
7. S tart transmission by loading da ta to the TXREG
register.
8. If using interrup ts, ensu re that the GIE and PEIE
bits in the INTCON register (INTCON<7:6>) are
set.

18.3.2 EUSART SYNCHRONOUS
MASTER RECEPTION
Once Synchronous mode is selected, reception is
enabled by setting ei ther the Single Receive Enable bit,
SREN (RCSTA<5>), or the Continuous Receive
Enable bit, CREN (RCSTA<4>). Data is sampled on the
RX pin on the falling edge of the clock.
If enable bit, SREN, is set, only a single word is
received. If enable bit, CREN, is set, the reception is
continuous until CREN is cleared. If both bits are set,
then CRE N tak es prece den ce .
To set up a Synchronous Master Reception:
1. Initialize the SPBRGH:SPBRG registers for the
appropriate baud rate. Set or clear the BRG16
bit, as required, to achieve the desired baud rate.
2. Enable the synchronous master serial port by
setting bits, SYNC, SPEN and CSRC.
3. Ensure bits, CREN and SREN, are clear.
4. If interrupts are desired, set enable bit, RCIE.
5. If 9-bit reception is desired, set bit, RX9.
6. If a single reception is required, set bit, SREN.
For continuous reception, set bit, CREN.
7. Interrupt flag bit, RCIF, will be set when reception
is complete and an interrupt will be generated if
the enable bit, RCIE, was set.
8. Read the RCSTA register to get the 9th bit (if
enabled) and determine if any error occurred
during reception.
9. Read the 8-bit received data by reading the
RCREG register.
10. If any error occurred, clear the error by clearing
bit, CREN.
1 1. If using interrupts, ensure that the GIE and PEIE bits
in the INT CON re gister ( INTCON< 7:6> ) are set.

CSRC (TXSTA<7>). This mode differs from the
Synchro nous Master m ode in that the shift clo ck is sup-
plied e xternally at the C K pin (ins tead of be ing supp lied
internally in Master mode). This allows the device to
transfer or receive data while in any low-power mode.
18.4.1 EUSART SYNCHRONOUS
SLAVE TRANSMISSION
The operation of the Synchronous Master and Slave
modes is identical, except in the case of the Sleep
mode.
If two words are written to the TXREG and then the
SLEEP instruction is executed, the following will occur:
a) The first word will immediately transfer to the
TSR register and transmit.
b) The second word will remain in the TXREG
register.
c) Flag bit, TXIF, will not be set.
d) When th e first word has been s hifted o ut of TSR,
the TXREG register will transfer the second
word to the TSR and flag bit, TXIF, will now be
set.
e) If enable bit, TXIE, is set, the interrupt will wake
the chip from Sleep. If the global interrupt is
enabled, the program will branch to the interrupt
vector.
To set up a Synchronous Slave Transmission:
1. Enable the synchronous slave serial port by
setting bits, SYNC and SPEN, and clearing bit,
CSRC.
2. Clear bits, CREN and SREN.
3. If interrupts are desired, set enable bit, TXIE.
4. If 9-bit transmission is desired, set bit, TX9.
5. Enable the transmission by setting enable bit,
TXEN.
6. If 9-bit transmission is selected, the ninth bit
should be loaded in bit, TX9D.
7. Start transmission by loading data to the
TXREGx register.
8. If using interrup ts, ensu re that the GIE and PEIE
bits in the INTCON register (INTCON<7:6>) are
set.

18.4.2 EUSART SYNCHRONOUS SLAVE
RECEPTION
The operation of the Synchronous Master and Slave
modes is identical, except in the case of Sleep, or any
Idle mode and bit, SREN, which is a “don’t care” in
Slave mode.
If receive is enabled by setting the CREN bit prior to
entering Sleep or any Idle mode, then a word may be
received while in this low-power mode. Once the word
is rece ived, the RSR register will transfer the data t o the
RCREG register. If the RCIE enable bit is set, the
interrupt generated will wake the chip from the low-
power mode. If the global interrupt is enabled, the
program will branch to the interrupt vector.
To set up a Synchronous Slave Recepti on:
1. Enable the synchronous master serial port by
setting bits, SYNC and SPEN, and clearing bit,
CSRC.
2. If interrupts are desired, set enable bit, RCIE.
3. If 9-bit reception is desired, set bit, RX9.
4. To enable reception, set enable bit, CREN.
5. Flag bit, RCIF, will be set when reception is
complete. An interrupt will be generated if
enable bit, RCIE, was set.
6. Read the RCSTA register to get the 9th bit (if
enabled) and determine if any error occurred
during reception.
7. Read the 8-bit received data by reading the
RCREG register.
8. If any error occurred, clear the error by clearing
bit, CREN.
9. If using interrup ts, ensu re that the GIE and PEIE
bits in the INTCON register (INTCON<7:6>) are
set.

The analog reference voltage is software selectable to
either the device’s positive and negative supply voltage
(VDD and VSS), or the voltage level on the RA3/AN3/
VREF+ and RA2/AN2/VREF-/CVREF pins.
The A/D converter has a unique feature of being able
to operate while the device is in Sleep mode. To
operate in Sleep, the A/D conversion clock must be
derived from the A/D’s internal RC oscillator.
The output of the sample and hold is the input into the
converter, which generates the result via successive
approximation.
A device Reset forces all registers to their Reset state.
This forces the A/D module to be turned off and any
conversion in progress is aborted.
Each port pin associated with the A/D converter can be
configured as an analog input, or as a digital I/O. The
ADRESH and ADRESL registers contain the result of
the A/D conversion. When the A/D conversion is
complete, the result is loaded into the
ADRESH:ADRESL register pair, the GO/DONE bit
(ADCON0 register) is cleared an d A/D Interrupt Flag bit,
ADIF, is set. The block diagram of the A/D module is
shown in Figure 19-1.

The value in the ADRESH:ADRESL registers is not
modified for a Power-on Reset. The ADRESH:ADRESL
registers will contain unknown data after a Power-on
Reset.
After the A/D module has been configured as desired,
the selected channel must be acquired before the
conversion is started. The analog input channels must
have their corresponding TRIS bits selected as an
input. To determine acquisition time, see Section 19.1
“A/D Acquisition Requirements”. After this acquisi-
tion time has elapsed, the A/D conversion can be
started. An acquisition time can be programmed to
occur bet ween setting th e GO/DONE bit and the actual
start of the conversion.
The following steps should be followed to perform an A/D
conversion:
1. Configure the A/D module:
Configure analog pins, voltage reference and
digital I/O (ADCON1)
Select A/D input channel (ADCON0)
Select A/D acquisition time (ADCON2)
Selec t A/D conve rsi on clock (ADCON2)
Turn on A/D module (ADCON0)
2. Configure A/D interrupt (if desired):
Clear ADIF bit
Set ADIE bit
Set GIE bit
3. Wait the required acquisition time (if required).
4. Start conversion:
Set GO/DONE bit (ADCON0 register)
5. Wait for A/D conversion to complete, by either:
Polling for the GO/DONE bit to be cleared
OR
Waiting for the A/D interrupt
6. Read A/D Result registers (ADRESH:ADRESL);
clear bit ADIF, if required.
7. For next conversion, go to step 1 or step 2, as
required. The A/D conversion time per bit is
defined as TAD. A minimum wait of 2 TAD is
required before the next acquisition starts.

19.1 A/D Acquisition Requirements
For the A/D converter to meet its specified accuracy,
the charge holding capacitor (CHOLD) must be allowed
to fully charge to the input channel voltage level. The
analog input model is shown in Figure 19-3. The
source impedance (RS) and the internal sampling
switch (RSS) impedance directly affect the time
required to charge the capacitor CHOLD. The sampling
switch (RSS) impedance va ries ov er the dev ice vol tag e
(VDD). The sour ce impedanc e af fects th e offse t voltag e
at the analog input (due to pin leakage current). The
maximum recommended impedance for analog
sources is 2.5 kΩ. After the analog input channel is
selected (changed), the channel must be sampled for
at least the minimum acquisition time before starting a
conversion.
To calculate the minimum acquisition time,
Equation 19-1 may be used. This equation assumes
that 1/2 LS b error is used (1024 st eps for the A/D). The
1/2 LSb er ror is the ma ximu m error allow ed for the A/D
to meet its specified resolution.
Example 19-3 shows the calculation of the minimum
required acquisition time TACQ. This calculation is
based on the following application system
assumptions:
CHOLD = 25 pF
Rs = 2.5 kΩ
Conversion Error 1/2 LSb
VDD =5V Rss = 2 kΩ
Temperature = 85°C (system max.)

19.2 Selecting and Configuring
Acquisition Time
The ADCON2 register allows the user to select an
acquisition time that occurs each time the GO/DONE
bit is set. It also gives users the option to use an
automatically determined acquisition time.
Acquisition time may be set with the ACQT2:ACQT0
bits (ADCON2<5:3>), which provides a range of 2 to
20 TAD. When the GO/DONE bit is set, the A/D mo dule
continues to sample the input for the selected acquisi-
tion time, then automatically begins a conversion.
Since the acquisition time is programmed, there may
be no need to wait for an acquisition time between
selecting a channel and setting the GO/DONE bit.
Manual acquisition is selected when
ACQT2:ACQT0 = 000. When the GO/DONE bit is set,
sampli ng is stopp ed and a conv ersion begi ns. The user
is responsible for ensuri ng the required acquisition time
has passed between selecting the desired input
channel and setting the GO/DONE bit. This option is
also the default Reset state of the ACQT2:ACQT0 bits
and is compatible with devices that do not offer
progra mmable acquisi tion times .
In either case, when the conversion is completed, the
GO/DONE bit is cleared, the ADIF flag is set and the
A/D begins sampling the currently selected channel
again. If an acquisition time is programmed, there is
nothing to indicate if the acquisition time has ended or
if the conversion has begun.
19.3 Selecting the A/D Conversion
Clock
The A/D conversion time per bit is defined as TAD. The
A/D con vers ion re qui res 11 TAD per 10-bit conversion.
The source of the A/D conversion clock is software
selectable. There are seven possible options for TAD:
•2 T
OSC
•4 TOSC
•8 TOSC
•16 TOSC
•32 TOSC
•64 TOSC
Intern al RC Os cillator
For correct A/D conversions, the A/D conversion clock
(TAD) must be as short as po ssible, but grea ter than the
minimum TAD (see parameter 130 for more
information).
Table 19-1 shows the resultant TAD times de r ive d f ro m
the device operating frequencies and the A/D clock
source selected.

3: For device frequencies above 1 MHz, the device must be in Sleep for the entire conversion or the A/D
accuracy may be out of specification.

19.4 Operation in Power-Managed
Modes
The selection of the automatic acquisition time and A/D
conversion clock is determined in part by the clock
source and frequency while in a power-managed mode.
If the A/D is expected to operate while the device is in
a power-managed mode, the ACQT2:ACQT0 and
ADCS2:ADCS0 bits in ADCON2 should be updated in
accordance with the clock source to be used in that
mode. After entering the mode, an A/D acquisition or
conversion may be started. Once started, the device
should continue to be clocked by the same clock
sour ce unt il the con ve r si on has been co mpl ete d.
If desired, the device may be placed into the
corr espondi ng Idle m ode dur ing the convers ion. I f the
device c loc k freq uency is les s tha n 1 MHz, the A/D RC
clock source should be selected.
Operation in the Sleep mode requires the A/D FRC
clock to be selected. If bits ACQT2:ACQT0 are set to
000’ and a con version is started, the conversion will be
delay ed on e ins truc tio n cycl e to allo w exec uti on of the
SLEEP instruc tion and e ntry to Slee p mode. The IDLEN
bit (OSCCON<7>) must have already been cleared
prior to starting the conversion.
19.5 Configur ing Analog Port Pins
The ADCON1, TRISA, TRISB and TRISE registers all
configure the A/D port pins. The port pins needed as
analog inputs must have their corresponding TRIS bits
set (input) . If the TRIS bit is cleare d (output), the digit al
output level (VOH or VOL) will be converted.
The A/D operation is independent of the state of the
CHS3:CHS0 bits and the TRIS bits.
Note 1: When reading the PORT register, all pins
configured as analog input channels will
read as cleared (a low level). Pins
configu red as digit al in puts wil l convert a s
analog inp ut s. Anal og level s on a digit all y
configured input will be accurately
converted.
2: Analog levels on any pin defined as a
digital input may cause the digital input
buffer to consume current out of the
device’s specification limits.
3: The PBADEN bit in Configuration
Register 3H configures PORTB pins to
reset as analog or digital pins by control-
ling how the PCFG<3:0> bits in ADCON1
are reset.

PIC18F2525/2620/4525/4620
19.6 A/D Conversions
Figure 19-4 shows the operation of the A/D converter
after the GO/DONE bit has been set and the
ACQT2:ACQT0 bits are cleared. A conversion is
started after the following instruction to allow entry into
Sleep mode before the conversion begins.
Figure 19-5 shows the operation of the A/D converter
after the GO/DONE bit has been set and the
ACQT2: ACQT0 bi ts are set to ‘010’ and selecting a 4
TAD acquisition time before the conversion starts.
Clearing the GO/DONE bit during a conversion will abort
the current conversion. The A/D Result register pair will
NOT be updated with the partially completed A/D
conversion sample. This means the ADRESH:ADRESL
registers will continue to contain the value of the last
completed conversion (or the last value written to the
ADRESH:ADRESL registers).
After the A/D conversion is completed or aborted, a
2T
AD wai t is required before the next acquisition can b e
started. After this wait, acquisition on the selected
channel is automatically started.
19.7 Discharge
The discharge phase is used to initialize the value of
the capacitor array. The array is discharged before
every sample. This feature helps to optimize the unity-
gain am plifier , a s the circuit al ways needs to charge the
capacitor array , rather than charge/discharge based on
previous measure values.

19.8 Use of the CCP2 Trigger
An A/D con versi on can be sta rted by th e Special Event
Trigger of the CCP2 module. This requires that the
CCP2M3:CCP2M0 bits (CCP2CON<3:0>) be
programmed as1011’ and that the A/D module is
enabled (ADON bit is set). When th e trigger occurs, the
GO/DONE bit will be set, starting the A/D acquisition
and conv ersio n and the T ime r1 (or T i mer3) c ounter wil l
be reset to zero. T imer1 (or T imer3) i s reset to automat-
ically repeat the A/D acquisition period with minimal
software overhead (moving ADRESH:ADRESL to the
desired location). The appropriate analog input
channel must b e selecte d and the mi nimum ac quisitio n
period is either timed by the user, or an appropriate
TACQ time selected before the Special Event Trigger
sets the GO/DONE bit (starts a conversion).
If the A/D module is not enabled (A DON is c leared), the
S pecial Even t Trigger will be i gnored by the A/D module
but will still reset the Timer1 (or Timer3) counter.

20.0 COMPARATOR MODULE
The analog comparator module contains two
comparators that can be configured in a variety of
ways. The inputs can be selected from the analog
inputs multiplexed with pins RA0 through RA5, as well
as the on-chip voltage reference (see Section 21.0
“Comparator Voltage Refere nce Module”). The digi-
tal outputs (normal or inverted) are available at the pin
level a nd c an a ls o be read thro ugh the c on trol register.
The CMCON register (Register 20-1) selects the
comparator input and output configuration. Block
diagrams of the various comparator configurations are
shown in Figure 20-1.

20.1 Comparator Configuration
There are eight modes of operation for the compara-
tors, shown in Figure 20-1. Bits, CM2:CM0 of the
CMCON register, are used to select these modes. The
TRISA register controls the data direction of the com-
parator pins for each mode. If the Comparator mode is
changed, the comparator output level may not be valid
for the specified mode change delay shown in
Section 26.0 “Electrical Characteristics”.

20.2 Comparator Operation
A single comparator is shown in Figure 20-2, along with
the relationship between the analog input levels and
the digit al ou tput. When the an alog input a t VIN+ is les s
than the analog input VIN-, the outp ut of the comp arator
is a digital low level. When the analog input at VIN+ is
greater than the analog input VIN-, the output of the
comparator is a digital high level. The shaded areas of
the output of the comparator in Figure 20-2 represent
the unce rt ainty, due to inpu t of fset s and resp onse t ime.
20.3 Comparator Reference
Depending on the comparator operating mode, either
an external or internal voltage reference may be used.
The analog signal present at VIN- is compared to the
signal at VIN+ and the digital output of the comparator
is adjusted accordingl y (Fi gure 20-2).
FIGURE 20-2: SINGLE COMP ARATOR
20.3.1 EXTERN AL REFE REN C E SIGNA L
When external voltage references are used, the
comparator module can be configured to have the
comparators operate from the same or different
reference sources. However, threshold detector
applications may require the same reference. The
reference signal must be between VSS and VDD and
can be applied to either pin of the comparator(s).
20.3.2 INTERNAL REFERENCE SIGNAL
The com p arator m odu le al so al low s th e sel ec t io n o f a n
internally generated voltage reference from the
comparator voltage reference module. This module is
describ ed in m ore de t ail in Section 21.0 “Comparator
Voltage Reference Module”.
The internal reference is only available in the mode
where four inputs are multiplexed to two comparators
(CM2:CM0 = 110). In this mode, the internal voltage
reference is applied to the VIN+ pin of both
comparators.
20.4 Comparator Response Time
Response time is the minimum time, after selecting a
new reference voltage or input source, before the
comparator output has a valid level. If the internal ref-
erence is changed, the maximum delay of the internal
voltage reference must be considered when using the
comparator outputs. Otherwise, the maximum delay of
the comparators should be used (see Section 26.0
“Electri cal Characte ristics”).
20.5 Comparator Outputs
The comparator outputs are read through the CMCON
register. These bits are read-only. The comparator
output s may al so be dire ctly output to the RA4 and RA5
I/O pins . When enab led, multipl exors in th e output p ath
of the RA4 and RA5 pins will switch and the output of
each pin will be the unsynchronized output of the
comparator. The uncertainty of each of the
comparators is related to the input offset voltage and
the response time given in the specifications.
Figure 20-3 shows the comparator output block
diagram.
The TRISA bits will still function as an output enable/
disable for the RA4 and RA5 pins while in this mode.
The polarity of the comparator outputs can be changed
using the C2INV and C1INV bits (CMCON<5:4 >).

Note 1: When reading the PORT register, all pins

2: Analog levels on any pin defined as a
digital input may cau se the in put bu f f e r to
consume more current than is specified.

FIGURE 20-3: COMPARATOR OUTPUT BLOCK DIAGRAM
20.6 Comparator Interrupts
The comparator interrupt flag is set whenever there is
a change in the output value of either comparator.
Software will need to maintain information about the
stat us of the output b its, as rea d from CMCON<7:6> , to
determine the actual change that occurred. The CMIF
bit (PIR2<6>) is the Comparator Interrupt Flag. The
CMIF bit must be reset by clearing it. Since it is also
possible to write a ‘1’ to this register, a simulated
interrupt may be initiated.
Both the CMIE bit (PIE2<6>) and the PEIE bit
(INTCON<6>) must be set to enable the interrupt. In
addition, the GIE bit (INTCON<7>) must also be set. If
any of these bits are clear, the interrupt is not enabled,
though the CMIF bit will still be set if an interrupt
conditi on oc curs.
The use r , in the Interru pt Service Rout ine, can clear th e
inter rupt in the following manner:
a) Any read or write of CMCON will end the
mismatch condition.
b) Clear flag bit CMIF.
A mismatc h co ndi tio n will co nti nue to set fla g bit CMIF.
Reading CMCON will end the mismatch condition and
allow flag bit CMIF to be cleared.
20.7 Comparator Operation
During Sleep
When a comparator is active and the device is placed
in Sleep mode, the comparator remains active and the
interrupt is functional if enabled. This interrupt will
wake-up the device from Sleep mode, when enabled.
Each operational comparator will consume additional
current, as shown in the comparator specifications. To
minimi ze power co nsumption wh ile in Sleep mod e, turn
off the comparators (CM2:CM0 = 111) before entering
Sleep. If the dev ic e wak es up fro m Sle ep, t he contents
of the CMCON register are not affected.
20.8 Effects of a Reset
A device Reset forces the CMCON register to its Reset
state , ca using the comp arat or modul es to be turn ed of f
(CM2:CM0 = 111). However, the input pins (RA0
through RA3) are configured as analog inputs by
default on device Reset. The I/O conf iguration for these
pins is determined b y the sett ing of the PCF G3:PCFG0
bits (ADCON1<3:0>). Therefore, device current is
minimized when analog inputs are present at Reset
time.

20.9 Analog Input Connection
Considerations
A simplified circuit for an analog input is shown in
Figure 20-4. Since the analog pins are connected to a
digital output, they have reverse biased diodes to VDD
and VSS. Th e analog input, th erefore, must be betwee n
VSS and VDD. If the input voltage deviates from this
range by more than 0.6V in either direction, one of the
diodes is forward biased and a latch-up condition may
occur. A maximum source impedance of 10 kΩ is
recommended for the analog sources. Any external
component connected to an analog input pin, such as
a capacitor or a Zener diode, should have very little
leakage current.

21.0 COMPARATOR VOLTAGE
REFERENC E MODULE
The comparator voltage reference is a 16-tap resistor
ladder network that provides a selectable reference
voltage. Although its primary purpose is to provide a
reference for the analog comparators, it may also be
used independently of them.
A block diagram of the module is shown in Figure 21-1.
The resis tor ladder is segment ed to provide two range s
of CVREF values and has a power-down function to
conserve power when the reference is not being used.
The module’s supply reference can be provided from
either device VDD/VSS or an external voltage reference.
21.1 Configur ing the Comparato r
Voltage Reference
The vol tag e referen ce m odule i s con trolle d throug h the
CVRCON register (Register 21-1). The comparator
voltage reference provides two ranges of output
voltage, each with 16 distinct levels. The range to be
used is selected by the CVRR bit (CVRCON<5>). The
primary diffe rence between the rang es is the si ze of th e
steps selected by the CVREF selection bits
(CVR3:C VR0), w it h on e ra nge offering fi ner res olu tio n.
The equations used to calculate the output of the
comparator voltage reference are as follows:
If CVRR = 1:
CVREF = ((CVR3:CVR0)/24) x CVRSRC
If CVRR = 0:
CVREF = (CVRSRC x 1/4 ) + (((CVR3:CVR0)/ 32) x
CVRSRC)
The comparator reference supply voltage can come
from either VDD and VSS, or the external VREF+ and
VREF- that are multiplexed with RA2 and RA3. The
voltage source is selected by the CVRSS bit
(CVRCON<4>).
The settling time of the comparator voltage reference
must be considered when changing the CVREF
output (see Table 26-3 in Section 26.0 “Electrical
Characteristics”).

FIGURE 21-1: COMPARATOR VOLTAGE REFERENCE BLOCK DIAGRAM
21.2 Voltage Reference Accuracy/Error
The full range of voltage reference cannot be realized
due to the construction of the module. The transistors
on the top and bottom of the resistor ladder network
(Figure 21-1) keep CVREF from approaching the
referenc e source ra ils. The v oltage re ference is der ived
from the reference source; therefore, the CVREF output
changes with fluctuations in that source. The tested
absolute accuracy of the voltage reference can be
found in Section 26.0 “Electrical Characteristics”.
21.3 Operation During Sleep
When the device wakes up from Sleep through an
interr upt o r a Watchdo g Tim er time-out, t he c onte nt s of
the CVRCON register are not affected. To minimize
current consumption in Sleep mode, the voltage
reference should be disabled.
21.4 Effects of a Reset
A device Reset disables the voltage reference by
clearing bit, CVREN (CVRCON<7>). This Reset also
disconnects the reference from the RA2 pin by clearing
bit, CVROE (CVRCON<6>) and selects the high-voltage
range by clearing bit, CVRR (CVRCON<5>). The CVR
value select bits are also cleared.
21.5 Connection Considerations
The voltage reference module operates independently
of the comparator module. The output of the reference
generator may be connected to the RA2 pin if the
CVROE bit is set. Enabling the voltage reference
output ont o RA2 when it is con figured as a digi tal input
will increase current consumption. Connecting RA2 as
a digital output with CVRSS enabled will also increase
current consumption.
The RA2 pin can be used as a simple D/A output with
lim ite d dr i ve c apa bil it y. Du e to t he l i mi te d c ur r e nt dr i ve
capability, a buffer must be used on the voltage
reference output for external connections to VREF.

22.0 HIGH/LOW-VOLTAGE DETECT
(HLVD)
PIC18F2525/2620/4525/4620 devices have a
High/Low-Voltage Detect module (HLVD). This is a
programmable circuit that allows the user to specify
both a device voltage trip point and the direction of
change from that point. If the device experiences an
excursion past the trip point in that direction, an inter-
rupt flag is set. If the interrupt is enabled, the program
execution will branch to the interrupt vector address
and the software can then respond to the interrupt.
The High/Low-Voltage Detect Control register
(Register 22-1) co mpletely controls the operation of the
HLVD module. This allows the circuitry to be “turned
off” by the user under software control, which
minimizes the current consumption for the device.
The block diagram for the HLVD module is shown in
Figure 22-1.
The module is enabled by setting the HLVDEN bit.
Each time that the HLVD module is enabled, the
circuitry requires some time to stabilize. The IRVST bit
is a read-only bit and is used to indicate when the circuit
is stable. The module can only generate an interrupt
after the circuit is stable and IRVST is set.
The VDIRMAG bit determines the overall operation of
the module. When VDIRMAG is cleared, the module
monitors for drops in VDD below a predetermined set
point. Wh en the bit is set, the mo dule moni tors for rise s
in VDD above the set point.

22.1 Operation
When the HLVD module is enab led, a comp arator use s
an internally generated reference voltage as the set
point. The set point is compared with the trip point,
where each node in the resistor divider represents a
trip point voltage. The “trip point” voltage is the voltage
level at which the device detects a high or low-voltage
event, depending on the configuration of the module.
When the supply voltage is equal to the trip point, the
voltage tapped off of the resistor array is equal to the
internal reference voltage generated by the voltage
reference module. The comparator then generates an
interrupt signal by setting the HLVDIF bit.
The trip point voltage is software programmable to any one
of 16 values. The trip point is selected by programming the
HLVDL3:HLVDL0 bits ( HLVDCON<3:0>).
The HLVD mo dule has an add itional f eature that allo ws
the user to supply the trip voltage to the module fr om an
external source. This mode is enabled when bits
HLVDL3:HLVDL0 are set to ‘1111’. In this state, the
comparator input is multiplexed from the external input
pin, HLVDIN. This gives users flexibility because it
allows them to configure the High/Low-Voltage Detect
interrupt to occur at any voltage in the valid operating
range.

22.2 HLVD Setup
The following steps are needed to set up the HLVD
module:
1. Dis abl e t h e m od u le by cl ea r i ng t he HLVDEN bi t
(HLVDCON<4>).
2. Write the valu e to the HLVDL3:HLVDL0 bits th at
selects the desired HLVD trip point.
3. Set the VDIRMAG bit to detect high voltage
(VDIRMAG = 1) or low voltage (VDIRMAG = 0).
4. Enable the HLVD module by setting the
HLVDEN bit.
5. Cle ar the HLVD in terru pt fl ag (P IR2<2 >), wh ich
may have been set from a previous interrupt.
6. Enable the HLVD interrupt if interrupts are
desired by setting the HLVDIE and GIE bits
(PIE<2> and INTCON<7>). An interrupt will not
be generated until the IRVST bit is set.
22.3 Current Consumption
When the module is enabled, the HLVD comparator
and volt age divider are enabled and will consume stati c
current. The total current consumption, when enabled,
is specified in el ectrical specification p arameter D022B.
Depending on the application, the HLVD module does
not need to be operating constantly. To decrease the
current requirements, the HLVD circuitry may only
need to be en abled for short pe riod s where the volt age
is checked. After doing the check, the HLVD module
may be disabled.
22.4 HLVD Start-up Time
The internal reference voltage of the HLVD module,
specified in electrical specification parameter D420,
may be used by other internal circuitry, such as the
Programmable Brown-out Reset. If the HLVD or other
circuits using the voltage reference are disabled to
lower the device’s current consumption, the reference
volt age circui t will requ ire time to be come st able befo re
a low or high-voltage condition can be reliably
detected. This start-up time, TIRVST, is an interval that
is independent of device clock speed. It is specified in
electrical specification parameter 36.
The HLVD interrupt flag is no t en abl ed u nti l TIRVST ha s
expired and a stable reference voltage is reached. For
this reason, brief excursions beyond the set point may
not be detected during this interval. Refer to
Figure 22-2 or Figure 22-3.

22.5 Applications
In many applications, the ability to detect a drop below
or rise above a particular threshold is desirable. For
example, the HLVD module could be periodically
enabled to detect a Universal Serial Bus (USB) attach
or detach. This assumes the device is powered by a
lower volt age source than the U SB when de tac hed. An
attach would indicate a high-voltage detect from, for
example, 3.3V to 5V (the voltage on USB) and vice
versa for a detach. This feature could save a design a
few extra components and an attach signal (input pin).
For general battery applications, Figure 22-4 shows a
possible voltage curve. Over time, the device voltage
decreases. When the device voltage reaches voltage
VA, the HLVD logic generates an interrupt at time TA.
The interrupt could cause the execution of an ISR,
which would allow the application to perform “house-
keeping tasks” and perform a controlled shutdown
before the device voltage exits the valid operating
range at TB. The HLVD, thus, would give the applica-
tion a time window, represented by the difference
between TA and TB, to safely exit.

22.6 Operation During Sleep
When en abled, the HLVD circuit ry cont inues to op erate
during Sleep. If the device voltage crosses the trip
point, the HLVDIF bit will be set and the device will
wake-up from Sleep. Device execution will continue
from the interrupt vector address if interrupts have
been globally enabled.
22.7 Effects of a Reset
A device Reset forces all registers to their Reset state.
This forces the HLVD module to be turned off.

23.0 SPECIAL FEATURES OF
THE CPU
PIC18F2525/2620/4525/4620 devices include several
features intended to maximize reliability and minimize
cost through elimination of external components.
These are:
Oscillator Selection
Resets:
- Power-on Reset (POR)
- Power-up Timer (PWRT)
- Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST)
- Brown-out Reset (BOR)
Interrupts
Watchdog Timer (WDT)
Fail-Safe Clock Monitor
Two-Speed Start-up
Code Protection
ID Locations
In-Circuit Serial Programming
The oscillator can be configured for the application
dependi ng on frequ ency, power, accura cy and c ost. All
of the options are discussed in detail in Section 2.0
“Oscillator Configurations”.
A complete discussion of device Resets and interrupts
is avail able in previous sections of this data sheet.
In addition to their Power-up and Oscillator Start-up
Timers provided for Resets, PIC18F2525/2620/4525/
4620 devices have a Watchdog Timer, which is either
permanently enabled via the Configuration bits or
software controlled (if configured as disabled).
The inclu sio n of an in ternal RC oscill ator also provides
the additional benefits of a Fail-Safe Clock Monitor
(FSCM) and Two-Speed Start-up. FSCM provides for
background monitoring of the peripheral clock and
automatic switchover in the event of its failure. Two-
Speed Start-up enables code to be executed almost
immedi ately on s tart-up, while th e primary clock so urce
completes its start-up delays.
All of these features are enabled and configured by
setting the appropriate Configuration register bits.
23.1 Configuration Bits
The Configuration bits can be programmed (read as
0’) or lef t unprog rammed ( read as ‘ 1’) to se lect various
device configurations. These bits are mapped starting
at program memory location 300000h.
The user will note that address 300000h is beyond the
user program memory space. In fact, it belongs to the
configuration memory space (300000h-3FFFFFh), which
can only be accessed using table reads and table writes.
Programming the Configuration registers is done in a
manner s imilar t o programmin g the Flas h memo ry. The
WR bit in the EECON1 register starts a self-timed write
to the Configuration register . In normal operation m ode,
a TBLWT instruction, with the TBLPTR pointing to the
Configuration register, sets up the address and the
data f or the Configuration register write. Setting the WR
bit starts a long write to the Configuration register. The
Conf igu rati on regis ter s a re writ ten a by te a t a ti me. To
write or erase a configuration cell, a TBLWT instr uct i on
can writ e a 1’ or a ‘0’ i nto the cell. For addi tional d etail s
on Flash programming, refer to Section 7.5 “Writing
to Flash Program Memory”.

23.2 Watchdog T imer (WDT)
For PIC18F 252 5/2 620 /45 25/4 620 devices, the WD T is
driven by the INTRC source. When the WDT is
enabled , the c lock sour ce is al so enable d. The nom inal
WDT period is 4 ms and has the same stability as the
INTRC os cil la tor.
The 4 ms period of the WDT is multiplied by a 16-bit
postscaler. Any output of the WDT postscaler is
selected by a multiplexer , controlled by bits in Configu-
ration Register 2H. Available periods range from 4 ms
to 131.072 seconds (2.18 minutes). The WDT and
post scaler are cleare d when any of the following events
occur: a SLEEP or CLRWDT instruction is executed, the
IRCF bits (OSCCON<6:4>) are changed or a clock
failure has occurred.

23.3 Two-Speed Star t-up
The Two-Speed Start-up feature helps to minimize the
latency period from oscillator st art-up to code execution
by allowing the microcontroller to use the INTOSC
oscillator as a clock source until the primary clock
source is available. It is enabled by setting the IESO
Configuration bit.
Two-Speed Start-up should be enabled only if the
primary oscillator mode is LP, XT, HS or HSPLL
(Crystal-Based modes). Other sources do not require
an OST start-up delay; for these, Two-Speed Start-up
should be disabled.
When ena bled, Resets and wake- ups from Sleep mode
cause the device to configure itself to run from the
internal oscillator block as the clock source, following
the time-out of the Power-up Timer after a Power-on
Reset is enabled. This allows almost immediate code
execution while the primary oscillator starts and the
OST is running. Once the OST times out, the device
automatically switches to PRI_RUN mode.
To use a higher clock speed on wake-up, the INTOSC
or postsca ler cl ock sourc es can be selected to provide
a higher clock speed by setting bits, IRCF2:IRCF0,
immediate ly after Res et. For wake-up s from Sleep , the
INTOSC or postscaler clock sources can be selected
by setti ng the IRCF2 :IRCF0 bit s prior to e ntering Sleep
mode.
In all other power-managed modes, Two-Speed Start-
up is not used. The device will be clocked by the
currently selected clock source until the primary clock
source becomes available. The setting of the IESO bit
is ignored.
23.3.1 SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR
USING TWO-SP EED START-UP
While using the INTOSC oscillator in T wo-Speed S tart-
up, the device still obeys the normal command
sequences for entering power-managed modes,
including multiple SLEEP instructions (refer to
Section 3.1.4 “Multiple Sleep Commands”). In
practice, this means that user code can change the
SCS1:SCS0 bit settings or issue SLEEP instructions
before the OST time s out. Th is wo uld all ow an appl ica-
tion to brief ly wake-u p, perform routine “housekee ping”
tasks and return to Sleep before the device starts to
operate from the primary oscillator.
User code can a lso c he ck if the primar y clo ck s our ce i s
currently providing t he device c loc ki ng by ch eck in g th e
status of the OSTS bit (OSCCON<3>). If the bit is set,
the pr im ary osc il lat or i s p rovi ding the clo ck . O the rw ise,
the internal oscillator block is providing the clock during
wake-up from Reset or Sleep mode.

23.4 Fail-Safe Clock Monitor
The Fail-Safe Clock Monitor (FSCM) allows the
microc ont roll er to co ntinue operati on i n th e ev en t of an
external oscill ator failu re by aut omatic ally swi tching th e
device clock to the internal oscillator block. The FSCM
function is enabled by setting the FCMEN Configura-
tion bit.
When FSCM is enabled, the INTRC oscillator runs at
all times to monito r clocks to pe rip hera ls and pr ov id e a
backup clock in the event of a clock failure. Clock
monitoring (shown in Figure 23-3) is accomplished by
creating a sample clock signal, which is the INTRC
outp ut div ided by 64. This allows ample time betwe en
FSCM sample clocks for a peripheral clock edge to
occur. The peripheral device clock and the sample
clock are present ed as inpu ts to the Clock Mo nitor latch
(CM). The CM is set on the falling edge of the device
clock source, but cleared on the rising edge of the
sample clock.
FIGURE 23-3: FSCM BLOCK DIAGRAM
Clock failure is tested for on the falling edge of the
sample clock. If a sample clock falling edge occurs
while CM is still set, a clock failure has been detected
(Figure 23-4). This causes the following:
the FSCM generates an oscillator fail interrupt by
setting bit, OSCFIF (PIR2<7>);
the device clock source is switched to the internal
oscill ato r blo ck (O SCC ON i s not updated to s how
the current clock source – this is the fail-safe
condition); and
•the WDT is reset.
During switchover, the postscaler frequency from the
internal oscillator block may not be sufficiently stable
for timing sensitive applications. In these cases, it may
be desirable to select another clock configuration and
enter an alternate power-managed mode. This can be
done to attempt a partial recovery or execute a
controlled shutdown. See Section 3.1.4 “Multiple
Sleep Commands” and Section 23.3.1 “Special
Considerations for Using Two-Speed Start-up” for
more details.
To use a higher clock speed on wake-up, the INTOSC
or postscaler clock sources can be selected to provide
a higher clock speed by setting bits, IRCF2:IRCF0,
immediate ly af ter Reset. For wa ke-up s from Sleep , the
INTOSC or postscaler clock sources can be selected
by setti ng the IRCF2 :IRCF0 b its prior to e ntering Sleep
mode.
The FS CM will dete ct failure s of the p rimary or sec ond-
ary clock sources only. If the internal oscillator block
fails, no failure would be de tected, nor would any action
be possible.
23.4.1 FSCM AND THE WATCHDOG T IMER
Both the FSCM and the WDT are clocked by the
INTRC oscillator. Since the WDT operates with a
separate divider and counter, disabling the WDT has
no ef fect on the op eration of the IN TRC oscill ator when
the FSCM is enabled.
As already noted, the clock source is switched to the
INTOSC clock when a clock failure is detected.
Depending on the frequency selected by the
IRCF2:IRCF0 bits, this may mean a substantial change
in the speed of code execution. If the WDT is enabled
with a small prescale va lue, a decrease in clock sp eed
allows a WDT time-out to occur and a subsequent
device Reset. For this reason, fail-safe clock events
also reset the WDT and postscaler, allowing it to start
timing from when execution speed was changed and
decreasing the likelihood of an erroneous time-out.
23.4.2 EXITING FAIL-SAFE OPERATION
The fail-safe condition is terminated by either a device
Reset or by entering a power-managed mode. On
Reset, the controller starts the primary clock source
specified in Configuration Register 1H (with any
required start-up delays that are required for the
oscillator mode, such as OST or PLL timer). The
INT O SC mul tip lex er p rov ides the devi ce c lo ck until the
primary clock so urce becom es ready (similar to a Two-
Speed Start-up). The clock source is then switched to
the primary clock (indicated by the OSTS bit in the
OSCCON register becoming set). The Fail-Safe Clock
Monitor then resum es moni tori ng the peri ph eral cloc k.
The primary clock source may never become ready
during st art-up. In this case, operatio n is clocked by the
INTOSC multiplexer . The OSCCON register will remain
in its Reset state until a power-managed mode is
entered.

FIGURE 23-4: FSCM TIMING DIAGRAM
23.4.3 FSCM INTERRUPTS IN
POWER-MANAGED MODES
By entering a power-managed mode, the clock
multiplexer selects the clock source selected by the
OSCCON register. Fail-Safe Monitoring of the power-
manage d clock sou rce resumes in t he power-man aged
mode.
If an oscillator failure occurs during power-managed
operation, the subsequent events depend on whether
or not the oscillator failure interrupt is enabled. If
enabled (OSCFIF = 1), code execution will be clocked
by the INTOSC multiplexer. An automatic transition
back to the failed clock source will not occur.
If the interrupt is disabled, subsequent interrupts while
in Idle mode will cause the CPU to begin executing
instructions while being clocked by the INTOSC
source.
23.4.4 POR OR WAKE FROM SLE EP
The FS CM is d esigned to d etect oscillato r failure at any
point after the device has exited Power-on Reset
(POR) or low-power Sleep mode. When the primary
device clock is EC, RC or INTRC modes, monitoring
can begin immediately following these events.
For oscillator modes involving a crystal or resonator
(HS, HSPLL, LP or XT), the situation is somewhat
different. Since the oscillator may require a start-up
time considerably longer than the FCSM sample clock
time, a false clock failure may be detected. To prevent
this, the internal os cillator bl ock is au tomatica lly confi g-
ured as the device cl ock and fun ctions unt il the primar y
clock is stable (the OST and PLL timers have timed
out). This is identical to Two-Speed Start-up mode.
Once the primary clock is stable, the INTRC returns to
its role as the FSCM source.
As noted in Sect ion 23. 3.1 “Spec ial Cons idera tions
for Using Two-Speed Start-up”, it is also possible to
select another clock configuration and enter an
alternate power-managed mode while waiting for the
primary clock to become stable. When the new power-
managed mode is selected, the primary clock is
disabled.

Note: The sa me lo gic tha t prevents false oscill a-

Sleep, will also prevent the detection of
the oscillator’s failure to start at all follow-
ing these events. This can be avoided by
monitoring the OSTS bit and using a
timing routine to determine if the oscillator
is taking too long to start. Even so, no
oscillator failure interrupt will be flagged.

23.5 Program Verification and
Code Protection
The overall structure of the code protection on the
PIC18 Flash devices differs significantly from other
PIC® devices.
The user program memory is divided into five blocks.
One of these is a boot b lock of 2 Kbytes. The remainder
of the memory is divided into four blocks on binary
boundaries.
Each of the five blocks has three code protection bits
associated with them. They are:
Code-Protect bit (CPn)
Write-Protect bit (WRTn)
External Block Table Read bit (EBTRn)
Figure 23-5 shows the program memory organization
for 48 and 64-Kbyte devices and the specific code
protection bit associated with each block. The actual
locations of the bits are summarized in Table 23-3.

23.5.1 PROGRAM MEMORY
CODE PROTECTION
The program memory may be read to or written from
any location using the table read and table write
instructions. The device ID may be read with table
reads. The Configuration registers may be read and
written with the table read and table write instructions.
In normal execution mode, the CPx bits have no direct
effect. CPx bits inhibit external reads and writes. A
block of user memory may be protected from table
writes if the WRTx Configuration bit is ‘0’. The EBTRx
bits control table reads. For a block of user memory
with the EBTRx bit set to ‘0’, a table read instruction
that executes from within that block is allowed to read.
A table read instruction that executes from a location
outside of that bloc k is not allowed to read and wil l result
in reading ‘0 s. Figures 23-6 through 23-8 illustrate table
write and table read protec tion.
FIGURE 23-6: TABLE WRITE (WRTx) DISALLOWED
Note: Code protection bits may only be written to
a ‘0’ from a ‘1’ state. It is not possible to
write a ‘1 to a bit in the ‘0’ state. Code
protection bits are only set to ‘1’ by a full
chip era se or bl ock eras e functio n. The ful l
chip erase and block erase functions can
only be initiated via ICSP operation or an
external programmer.

23.5.2 DATA EEPROM
CODE PROTECTION
The entire data EEPROM is protected from external
reads and writes by two bits: CPD and WRTD. CPD
inhibits external reads and writes of data EEPROM.
WRTD inhibits internal and external writes to data
EEPROM. The CPU can always read data EEPROM
under n ormal op eration, re gardless o f the prot ection bit
settings.
23.5.3 CONFIGURATION REGISTER
PROTECTION
The Configuration registers can be write-protected.
The WRTC bit controls protection of the Configuration
registers. In normal execution mode, the WRTC bit is
readable only. WRTC can only be written via ICSP
operation or an external programmer.
23.6 ID Locations
Eight memory locations (200000h-200007h) are
designated as ID locations, where the user can store
checksum or other code identification numbers. These
locatio ns are b oth read abl e and writ ab le d urin g normal
execution through the TBLRD and TBLWT instructions
or du r ing p r ogr am / ver if y. Th e ID loca t io n s c a n be r e ad
when the device is code-protected.
23.7 In-Circuit Serial Programming
PIC18F2525/2620/4525/4620 microcontrollers can be
serially programmed while in the end application circuit.
This is simply done with two lines for clock and data
and three other lines for power, ground and the
programming voltage. This allows customers to
manufacture boards with unprogrammed devices and
then program the microcontroller just before shipping
the product. This also allows the most recent firmware
or a custom firmware to be programmed.
23.8 In-Circuit Debugger
When the DEBUG Configuration bit is programmed to
a ‘0’, the In-Circuit Debugger functionality is enabled.
This funct ion al lows s imple debug ging f unct ions wh en
use d wi t h M PLA B® ID E . W h en the mi c ro c on tr ol le r h as
this featu r e ena ble d, so me reso urc es are not availabl e
for gene ral use. Table 23-4 show s whi ch res ource s ar e
required by the background debugger.
TABLE 23-4: DEBUGGER RESOURCES
To use the In-Circuit Debugger function of the micro-
controller, the design must implement In-Circuit Serial
Programming connections to MCLR/VPP/RE3, VDD,
VSS, RB7 and RB6. This will interface to the In-Circuit
Debugger module available from Microchip or one of
the third party developm ent tool companies.
23.9 Single-Supply ICSP Programming
The LVP Configuration bit enables Single-Supply ICSP
Programming (formerly known as Low-Voltage ICSP
Programming or LVP). When Single-Supply Program-
ming is enabled, the microcontroller can be programmed
without requiring high voltage being applied to the
MCLR/VPP/RE3 pin, but the RB5/KBI1/PGM pin is then
dedicated to controlling Program mode entry and is not
available as a general purpos e I/O pin.
While programming, using Single-Supply Program-
ming, VDD is applied to the MCLR/VPP/RE3 pin as in
normal execution mode. To enter Programming mode,
VDD is applied to the PGM pin.
If Single-Supply ICSP Programming mode will not be
used, the LVP bit can be cleared. R B5 /KBI1/PGM then
become s a vaila ble as the dig ita l I/O p in, RB 5. The LVP
bit may be set or cleared only when using standard
high-voltage programming (VIHH applied to the MCLR/
VPP/RE3 pin). Once LVP has been disabled, only the
standard high-voltage programming is available and
must be used to program the device.
Memory tha t is not code -protected ca n be erased usin g
either a b lock erase, or erased ro w by row, then writte n
at any s pecified VDD. If co de-protected m emory is to be
erased, a block erase is required. If a block erase is to
be performed when using Low-Voltage Programming,
the device must be supplied with VDD of 4.5V to 5.5V.
I/O pins: RB6 , RB7
Stack: 2 levels
Program Memory: 512 bytes
Data Memory: 10 bytes
Note 1: High-voltage programming is always
available, regardless of the state of the
LVP bit or the PGM pin, by applying VIHH
to the MCLR pin.
2: By de fa u lt, Single-Supply ICS P P r ogr a m-
ming is enabled in unprogrammed
devices (as supplied from Microchip) and
erased devices.
3: When Single-Supply Programming is
enabled, the RB5 pin can no longer be
used as a general purpose I/O pin.
4: When LVP is enabled, externally pull the
PGM pin to VSS to allow normal program
execution.

24.0 INSTRUCTION SET SUMMARY
PIC18F2525/2620/4525/4620 devices incorporate the
standard s et of 75 PIC18 core ins tructions, as well as an
extended set of 8 new instructions, for the optimization
of code that is recursive or that utilizes a software s tack.
The extended set is disc ussed later in this section.
24.1 Standard Instruction Set
The standard PIC18 instruction set adds many
enhancements to the previous PIC® MCU instruction
sets, while maintaining an easy migration from these
PIC MCU instruction sets. Most instructions are a
single program memory word (16 bits), but there are
four instructions that require two program memory
locations.
Each single-word instruction is a 16-bit word divided
into an o pcode, whi ch specifies the instructi on type and
one or more operands, which further specify the
operation of the instruction.
The instruction set is highly orthogonal and is grouped
into four basic categories:
Byte-oriented operations
Bit-oriented operations
Literal operati ons
Control operations
The PIC18 instruction set summary in Table 24-2 lists
byte-oriented, bit-oriented, literal and control
operations. Table 24-1 shows the opcode field
descriptions.
Most byte-oriented in str uct ions have t hree op erands:
1. The file register (specified by ‘f’)
2. The destination of the result (specified by ‘d’)
3. The accessed me mory (specified by ‘a’)
The file register designator ‘f’ specifies which file
register is to be use d by the instruc tion. The des tination
designator ‘d’ specifies where the result of the opera-
tion is to be placed. If ‘d’ is zero, the result is placed in
the WREG register. If ‘d’ is one, the result is placed in
the file register specified in the instruction.
All bit-oriented instructions have three operands:
1. The file register (specified by ‘f’)
2. The bit in the file register (specified by ‘b’)
3. The accessed me mory (specified by ‘a’)
The bit field design ator ‘b’ sele cts the numb er of the bit
affected by the operation, while the file register
design ator ‘f’ represent s the numbe r of the fil e in w hich
the bit is located.
The literal ins truc tions may use so me of the follo wing
operands:
A literal value to be loaded into a file register
(specified by ‘k’)
The desired FSR register to load the literal value
into (specified by ‘f’)
No operand requir ed
(specified by ‘—’)
The control instructio ns may u se some of t he followin g
operands:
A program memory address (specified by ‘n’)
The mode of th e CALL or RETURN inst ructions
(specified by ‘s’)
The mode of the table read and table write
ins tructions (specified by ‘m’)
No operand requir ed
(specified by ‘—’)
All instructions are a single word, except for four
double-word instructions. These instructions were
made double-word to contain the required information
in 32 bits. In the second word, the 4 MSbs are 1’s. If
this second word is executed as an instruction (by
it se lf), it will exe cu te as a NOP.
All single-word instructions are executed in a single
inst ruct ion c yc le , un le ss a conditional test is tru e o r th e
program counter is changed as a result of the instruc-
tion. In th ese cases, the execution takes tw o instruction
cycle s, with the addit ional instru ction cyc le(s) exec uted
as a NOP.
The double-word instructions execute in two instruction
cycles.
One in struction cycle consist s of f our oscil lator p eriods.
Thus, for an oscillator frequency of 4 MHz, the normal
inst ruction ex ecution ti me is 1 μs. If a cond itional tes t is
true, or the program counter is changed as a result of
an instruction, the instruction execution time is 2 μs.
Two-word branch instructions (if true) would take 3 μs.
Figur e 24-1 show s the gener al format s that the ins truc-
tion s can hav e. All exampl es use the conv ention ‘nnh’
to represent a hexadecimal number.
The in struct ion se t summ ary, show n in Table 24-2, li st s
the standard instructions recognized by the Microchip
MPASM™ Assembler.
Section 24.1.1 “Standard Instruction Set” provides
a description of each instruction.

Note 1: When a PORT register is modified as a function of itself (e.g., MOVF PORTB, 1, 0), the value used will be that value
present on the pins themselves. For example, if the data latch is ‘1’ for a pin configured as input and is driven low by an
external device, the data will be written back with a ‘0’.
2: If this instruction is executed on the TMR0 register (and where applicable, ‘d’ = 1), the prescaler will be cleared if
assigned.
3: If the Program Counter (PC) is modified or a conditional test is true, the instruction requires two cycles. The second
cycle is executed as a NOP.
4: Some instructions are two-word instructions. The second word of these instructions will be executed as a NOP unless the
first word of the instruction retrieves the information embedded in these 16 bits. This ensures that all program memory
locations have a valid instruction.

TABLE 24-2: PIC18FXXXX INSTRUCTION SET (CONTINUED)
Mnemonic,
Operands Description Cycles 16-Bit Instruction Word Status
Affected Notes
MSb LSb
Note 1: When a PORT register is modified as a function of itself (e.g., MOVF PORTB, 1, 0), the value used will be that value
present on the pins themselves. For example, if the data latch is ‘1’ for a pin configured as input and is driven low by an
external device, the data will be written back with a ‘0’.
2: If this instruction is executed on the TMR0 register (and where applicable, ‘d’ = 1), the prescaler will be cleared if
assigned.
3: If the Program Counter (PC) is modified or a conditional test is true, the instruction requires two cycles. The second
cycle is executed as a NOP.
4: Some instructions are two-word instructions. The second word of these instructions will be executed as a NOP unless the
first word of the instruction retrieves the information embedded in these 16 bits. This ensures that all program memory
locations have a valid instruction.

24.2 Extended Inst ruction Set
In additi on to the stan dard 75 i nstructions o f the PI C1 8
instruction set, PIC18F2525/2620/4525/4620 devices
also provide an optional extension to the core CPU
functionality. The added features include eight
additional instructions that augment indirect and
indexe d addressing o perations and th e implement ation
of Indexed Literal Offset Addressing mode for many of
the standard PIC18 instructions.
The additional features of the extended instruction set
are d isabled by defa ult. To enabl e them, users m ust set
the XINST Configuration bit.
The instru ctions in the ext ended set (with the exce ption
of CALLW, MOVSF and MOVSS) can all be classified as
literal operations, which either manipulate the File
Select Registers, or use them for Indexed Addressing.
Two of the instructions, ADDFSR and SUBFSR, each
have a n addi tional spec ial ins tantiat ion fo r using F SR2.
These versions (ADDULNK and SUBULNK) allow for
automatic return after execution.
The exte nded instr uctions are s pecifically im plemented
to optimize re-entrant program code (that is, code that
is recursive or that uses a software stack) written in
high-level languages, particularly C. Among other
things, they allow users working in high-level
languages to perform certain operations on data
structures more efficiently. These include:
dynamic allocation and deallocation of software
stack space when entering and leaving
subroutines
Function Pointer invocation
Software Stack Pointer manipulation
manipulation of variables located in a software
stack
A summary of the instructions in the extended instruction
set is provided in Table 24-3. Detailed descriptions are
provided in Section 24.2.2 “Extended Instruction
Set”. The opcode field descriptions in Table 24-1
(page 268) apply to both the standard and extended
PIC18 instruction set s.
24.2.1 EXTENDED INSTRU CTION SYNTAX
Most of the extended instructions use indexed
arguments, using one of the File Select Registers and
some offset to specify a source or destination register.
When an argument for an instruction serves as part of
indexed addressing, it is enclosed in square brackets
(“[ ]”). This is done to in dicate that the argument is used
as an index or offset. The MPASM™ Assembler will
flag an error if it determines that an index or offset value
is not bracketed.
When the ex tended ins truction s et is enabled, bra cket s
are also used to indicate index arguments in byte-
oriented and bit-orient ed instructions. This is in addition
to other changes in their syntax. For more details, see
Section 24.2.3.1 “Extended Instruction Syntax with
Standard PIC18 Commands”.
TABLE 24-3: EXTENSIONS TO THE PIC18 INSTRUCTION SET
Note: The instruction set extension and the
Indexed Literal Offset Addressing mode
were designed for optimizing applications
written in C; the user may likely never use
these instructions directly in assembler.
The syntax for these commands is
provided as a reference for users who may
be reviewing code that has been
generated by a compiler.
Note: In the past, square brackets have been
used to denote optional arguments in the
PIC18 and earlier instruction sets. In this
text and going forward, optional
arguments are denoted by braces (“{ }”).

24.2.3 BYTE-ORIE NT ED AND
BIT-ORIENTED INSTRUCTIONS IN
INDEXED LITERAL OFFSET MODE
In additio n to eight new comm ands in the extende d set,
enabling the extended instruction set also enables
Indexed Literal Offset Addre ssing mode (Section 5.5.1
“Indexed Addressing with Literal Offset”). This has
a sign ificant im pact on the way t hat many com mands of
the standard PIC18 instruction set are interpreted.
When the ex ten ded se t is di sabled, add r ess es em be d-
ded in opco des are treated as literal memory locations:
either as a location in the Access Bank (‘a’ = 0) or in a
GPR bank designated by the BSR (‘a’ = 1). When the
extended instruction set is enabled and ‘a’ = 0,
however, a file register argument of 5Fh or less is
interpreted as an offset from the pointer value in FSR 2
and not as a literal address. For practical purposes, this
means that all i nstructio ns that us e the Acc ess RAM b it
as an argument – that is, all byte-oriented and bit-
oriented instructions, or almost half of the core PIC18
instructions – may behave differently when the
extended instruction set is enabled.
When the content of FSR2 is 00h, the boundaries of the
Access RAM are essentially remapped to their original
values. This may be useful in creating backward
compatible code. If this technique is used, it may be
necessary to save the value of FSR2 and restore it
when moving back and forth between C and assembly
routines in order to preserve the Stack Pointer. Users
must also keep in mind the syntax requirements of the
extended instruction set (see Section 24.2.3.1
“Extended Instruction Syntax with Standard PIC18
Commands”).
Although the Indexed Literal Offset Addressing mode
can be very useful for dynamic stack and pointer
manipulation, it can also be very annoying if a simple
arithmetic operation is carried out on the wrong
register. Users who are accustomed to the PIC18
programming must keep in mind that, when the
extende d inst ruction se t is ena bled, re giste r addres ses
of 5Fh or less are used for Indexed Literal Offset
Addressing mode.
Representative examples of typical byte-oriented and
bit-oriented instructions in the Indexed Literal Offset
Address ing mode are pro vided on the f ollowing p age to
show how execution is affected. The operand
conditions shown in the examples are applicable to all
instructions of these types.

bit-or iented command s is replaced with the li teral offs et
value, ‘k ’. As al rea dy no ted, this occurs only wh en ‘f’ is
less t han or eq ual to 5Fh. When an of fset val ue is use d,
it must be indicated by square brackets (“[ ]”). As with
the exte nded ins tructions , the us e of brac kets indicate s
to the com pil er th at the val ue is to be in terp rete d as an
index or an offset. Omitting the brackets, or using a
value greater than 5Fh within brackets, will generate an
error in the MPASM Assembler.
If the ind ex argume nt is p roperly brackete d for Indexe d
Literal Offset Addressing mode, the Access RAM
argument is never specified; it will automatically be
assumed to be ‘0’. This is in contrast to standard
operation (extended instruction set disabled) when ‘a’
is set on the basis of the target address. Declaring the
Access RAM bi t in this m ode will also gen erate an error
in the MPASM Assembler.
The destination argument, ‘d’, functions as before.
In the latest versions of the MPASM assembler,
languag e s upp ort for the exte nde d i ns truc tio n s et m ust
be explicitly invoked. This is done with either the
command line option, /y, or the PE directive in the
source lis tin g.
24.2.4 CONSIDERATIONS WHEN
ENABLING THE EXTENDED
INSTRUCTION SET
It is i mport ant to note that the ex tensions to th e ins truc-
tion set may not be beneficial to all users. In particular,
users who are not writing code that uses a software
stack may not benefit from using the extensions to the
instruction set.
Additionally, the Indexed Literal Offset Addressing
mode may create issues with legacy applications
written to the PIC18 assembler. This is because
instruc t ion s i n th e le gac y cod e m ay atte mp t to a ddress
registers in the Access Bank below 5Fh. Since these
addresses are interpreted as literal offsets to FSR2
when the instruction set extension is enabled, the
application may read or write to the wrong data
addresses.
When porting an application to the PIC18F2525/2620/
4525/4620, it is very important to consider the type of
code. A l arge, re-entrant application that is written in ‘C’
and wou ld bene fit from effi cient compi lation will do well
when using the instruction set extensions. Legacy
applic ations tha t heavily use the Ac cess Ban k will mos t
likely not benefit from using the extended instruction
set.
Note: Enabling the PIC18 instruction set
extension may cause legacy applications
to behave erratically or fail entirely.

24.2.5 SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS WITH
MICROCHIP MPL AB ® IDE TOOLS
The la test ver sions of Microc hip’s softwa re tools h ave
been de signe d t o full y sup port th e exte nded i nstruc tion
set of the PIC18F2525/2620/4525/4620 family of
devices. This includes the MPLAB C18 C compiler,
MPASM assembly language and MPLAB Integrated
Development Environment (IDE).
When selecting a target device for software
development, MPLAB IDE will automatically set default
Configuration bit s for that device . The default setting for
the XINST Configuration bit is 0’, disabling the
extended instruction set and Indexed Literal Offset
Address ing mod e. For pr oper e xecution o f app licat ions
developed to take advantage of the extended
instruction set, XINST must be set during
programming.
To develop software for the extended instruction set,
the user must enable support for the instructions and
the Index ed Addressing mode in the ir languag e tool(s).
Depending on the enviro nment being used, this may be
done in several ways:
A menu option, or dialog box within the
environment, that allows the user to configure the
language tool and its settings for the project
A command line option
A directive in the source code
These options vary between different compilers,
assemblers and development environments. Users are
encouraged to review the documentation accompany-
ing their development systems for the appropriate
information.

OSC1 = external square wave, from rail-to-rail; all I/O pins tri-stated, pulled to VDD or V SS;
MCLR = VDD; WDT enabled/disabled as specified.
3: When operation below -10°C is expected, use T1OSC High-Power mode, where LPT1OSC (CONFIG3H<2>) = 0.
When operation will always be above -10°C, then the low-power Timer1 oscillator may be selected.
4: BOR and HL VD enable i nternal band gap reference. Wi th both modules enabled, current consumption will be less

3: When operation below -10°C is expected, use T1OSC High-Power mode, where LPT1OSC (CONFIG3H<2>) = 0.
When operation will always be above -10°C, then the low-power Timer1 oscillator may be selected.

Note 1: As a transmitter, the device must provide this internal minimum delay time to bridge the undefined region
(min. 300 ns) of the falling edge of SCL to avoid unintended generation of Start or Stop conditions.
2: A Fast mode I2C bus device can be used in a Standard mode I2C bus system, but the requirement
TSU:DAT 250 ns must then be met. This will automatically be the case if the device does not stretch the
LOW period of the SCL signal. If such a device does stretch the LOW period of the SCL signal, it must
output the next dat a bit to the SDA line, TR max. + TSU:DAT = 1000 + 250 = 1250 ns (according to the
Standard mode I2C bu s specificati on), before the SCL line is released.

Note 1: Maximum pin capacitance = 10 pF for all I2C pins.
2: A Fast mode I2C bus device can be used in a Standard mode I2C bus system, but parameter 107 250 ns
must then be met. This will automatically be the case if the device does not stretch the LOW period of the
SCL signal. If such a device does stretch the LOW period of the SCL signal, it must output the next data bit
to the SDA line, parameter 102 + parameter 107 = 1000 + 250 = 1250 ns (for 100 kHz mode), before the
SCL line is released.
