Note the following details of the code protection feature on Microchip devices:
Microchip products meet the specification contained in their particular Microchip Data Sheet.
Microchip believes that its family of products is one of the most secure families of its kind on the market today, when used in the
intended manner and under normal conditions.
There are dishonest and possibly illegal methods used to breach the code protection feature. All of these methods, to our
knowledge, require using the Microchip products in a manner outside the operating specifications contained in Microchip’s Data
Sheets. Most likely, the person doing so is engaged in theft of intellectual property.
Microchip is willing to work with the customer who is concerned about the integrity of their code.
Neither Microchip nor any other semiconductor manufacturer can guarantee the security of their code. Code protection does not
mean that we are guaranteeing the product as “unbreakable.”
Code protection is constantly evolving. We at Microchip are committed to continuously improving the code protection features of our
products. Attempts to break Microchip’s code protection feature may be a violation of the Digit al Millennium Copyright Act. If such acts
allow unauthorized access to your software or other copyrighted work, you may have a right to sue for relief under that Act.
Microchip received ISO/TS-16949:2009 certification for its worldwide
headquarters, design and wafer fabrication facilities in Chandler and
Tempe, Arizona; Gresham, Oregon and design centers in California
and India. The Company’s quality system processes and procedures
are for its PIC® MCUs and d sPIC® DSCs, KEELOQ® code hopping
devices, Serial EEPROMs, microperiph erals, nonvolatile memory and
analog products. In addition, Microchip’s quality system for the design
and manufacture of development systems is ISO 9001:2000 certified.

PIC18(L)F2X/4XK22
1.0 DEVICE OVERVIEW
This do cu me nt co nta i ns dev ic e spec if i c in for m at ion fo r
the following devices:
This family offers the advantages of all PIC18
microcontrollers – namely, high computational
performance at an economical price – with the addition
of high-endurance, Flash program memory. On top of
these features, the PIC18(L)F2X/4XK22 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 XLP TECHNOLOGY
All of the devices in the PIC18(L)F2X/4XK22 family
incorporate a range of features that can significantly
reduce power consumption during operation. Key
items include:
Alternate Run Modes: By clocking the cont roller
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 Switch ing: 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 minimized. See Section 27.0 “Electri-
cal Characteristics
for values.
1.1.2 MULTIPLE OSCILLATOR OPTIONS
AND FEATURES
All of the devices in the PIC18(L)F2X/4XK22 family
offer ten different oscillator options, allowing users a
wide range of choices in developing application
hardware. These in clude:
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 contains a
16 MHz HFINTOSC oscillator and a 31 kHz
LFINTOSC oscillator , wh ich together provide eight
user selec t able clock frequenci es , from 31 kHz to
16 MHz. This option frees the two oscillator pins
for use as additional general purpose I/O.
A Phase Lock Loop (PLL) frequency multiplier,
available to both external and internal oscillator
modes, which allows clock speeds of up to
64 MHz. Used with the internal oscillator, the PLL
give s users a com ple te selec tion of cl ock sp eeds,
from 31 kHz to 64 MHz – all witho ut using an
external crystal 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 source th at
gives the family additional features for robust
operation:
Fail-Safe Clock Monitor: This option constantly
monitors the main clock source against a
reference signal provided by the LFINTOSC. If a
clock failure occurs, the controller is switched to
the intern al oscill ator block , allowing f or continue d
operation or a safe application shutdown.
Two-Speed Start-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 Other S pecial Features
Memory Endurance: The Flash cells for both
program memory and data EEPROM are rated to
last for many thousands of erase/write cycles – up to
10K for program memory and 100K for EEPROM.
Data retention without refresh is conservatively
estimated to be greater than 40 years.
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 PIC18(L)F2X/
4XK22 family introduces an optional extension to
the PIC18 instruction set, which adds eight new
instructions and an Indexed Addressing mode.
This ext ensio n, enabl ed as a de vice c onf igurati on
option, has b een specifi cally des igned to opt imize
re-ent rant appli cation c ode origi nally d eveloped 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 features include:
- Auto-Shutdown, for disabling PWM outputs
on interrupt or other select conditions
- Auto-Restart, to reactivate ou tputs once the
conditi on has clea red
- Output steering to selectively enable one or
more of four outputs to provide the PWM
signal.
Enhanced Addressable EUSART: 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 without wait ing for a sa mp ling period and
thus, reduce code overhead.
Extended Watchdog Timer (WDT): This
enhanced version incorporates a 16-bit
postscaler, allowing an extended time-out range
that is sta ble acros s ope rati ng vol tage and
temperature. See Section 27.0 “Electrical
Characteristics for time-out periods.

2.0 OSCILLAT OR M ODULE (WITH
FAIL-SAFE CLOCK MONITOR)
2.1 Overview
The oscillator module has a wide variety of clock
sources and selection features that allo w it to be used
in a wide range of applications while maximizin g perfor-
mance and minimizing power consumption. Figure 2-1
illustrates a block diagram of the oscillator module.
Clock sources can be configured from external
oscilla tors, quartz crystal resonators , ceramic resonators
and Resistor-Capacitor (RC) circuits. In addition, the
system clock sour ce can be c onfigured from one of th ree
internal oscillators, with a choice of speeds selectable via
softw are . Add itio nal clo ck feat ures inc lud e:
Selectable system clock source between external
or internal sources via software.
Two-Speed Start-up mode, which minimizes
latency between external oscillator start-up and
code execution.
Fail-Safe Clock Monitor (FSCM) designed to
detect a failure of the external clock source (LP,
XT, HS, EC or RC modes) and switch
automati cally to the internal oscillator.
Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) ensures stability
of crystal oscillator sources.
The pr imary cloc k module ca n be confi gured to provid e
one of six clock sources as the primary clock.
1. RC External Resistor/C apacitor
2. LP Low-Power Crystal
3. XT Crystal/Resonator
4. INTOSC Internal Oscillator
5. HS High-Speed Crystal/Resonator
6. EC External Clock
The HS and EC oscillator circuits can be optimized for
power co nsumpti on and oscilla tor spee d using sett ings
in FOSC<3:0>. Additional FOSC<3:0> selections
enable RA6 to be used as I/O or CLKO (FOSC/4) for
RC, EC and INTOSC Oscillator modes.
Primary Clock modes are selectable by the
FOSC<3:0> bits of the CONFIG1H Configuration
register. The primary clock operation is further defined
by these Configuration and register bits:
1. PRICLKEN (CONFIG1H<5>)
2. PRISD (OSCCON2<2>)
3. PLLCFG (CONFIG1H<4>)
4. PLLEN (OSCTUNE<6>)
5. HFOFST (CONFIG3H<3>)
6. IRCF<2:0> (OSCCON<6:4>)
7. MFIOSEL (OSCCON2<4>)
8. INTSRC (OSCTUNE<7>)
The HFINTOSC, MFINTOSC and LFINTOSC are
factory calibrated high, medium and low-frequency
oscillators, respectively, which are used as the internal
clock source s.

2.2 Oscillator Control
The OSCCON, OSCCON2 and OSCTUNE registers
(Register 2-1 to Register 2-3) control several aspects
of the device clock’s operation, both in full-power
operation and in power-managed modes.
Main System Clock Selection (SCS)
Primary Oscillator Circuit Shut d own (PRISD)
Secondary Oscillator Enable (SOSCGO)
Primary Clock Frequency 4x multiplier (PLLEN)
Internal Frequency selection bits (IRCF, INTSRC)
Clock Status bits (OSTS, HFIOFS, MFIOFS,
LFIOFS. SOSCRUN, PLLRDY)
Power management selection (IDLEN)
2.2. 1 MAI N SYSTEM CLOCK SELECTION
The System Clock Select bits, SCS<1:0>, select the
main clock source. The available clock sources are
Primary clock defined by the FOSC<3:0> bits of
CONFIG 1H. The primary clock can be the primary
oscillator, an external clock, or the internal
oscillator block.
Secondary clock (secondary oscillator)
Internal oscillato r block (HF INTOSC, MFINTOSC
and LFINTOSC).
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 to select
the primary clock on all forms of Reset.
2.2.2 INTERNAL FREQUENCY
SELECTION
The Internal Oscillator Frequency Select bits
(IRCF<2:0 >) selec t the fr equency output of th e interna l
oscill ator block. The choices are the LF INTOSC so urce
(31.25 kHz), the MFINTOSC source (31.25 kHz,
250 kHz or 500 kHz) and the HFINTOSC source
(16 MHz) or one of the frequencies derived from the
HFINTOSC postscaler (31.25 kHz to 8 MHz). If the
internal oscillator block is supplying the main clock,
changing the states of these bits will have an immedi-
ate change on the internal oscillator’s output. On
device Resets, the output frequency of the internal
oscillator is set to the default frequency of 1 MHz.
2.2.3 LOW FREQUENCY SELECTION
When a nominal output frequency of 31.25 kHz is
selected (IRCF<2:0> = 000), users may choose
which internal oscillator acts as the source. This is
done with the INTSRC bit of the OSCTUNE register
and MFIOSEL bit of the OSCCON2 register. See
Figure 2-2 and Register 2-1 for specific 31.25 kHz
selection. This option allows users to select a
31.25 kHz clock (MFINT OSC or HFINT OSC) th at can
be tuned using the TUN<5:0> bits in OSCTUNE
register, while maintaining power savings with a very
low clock speed. LFINTOSC always remains the
clock s ource for features such as the W atchdog T imer
and the Fail-Safe Clock Monitor, regardless of the
setting of INTSRC and MFIOSEL bits
This option allows users to select the tunable and more
precise HFINTOSC as a clock source, while
maint aining pow er savings wi th a very low clo ck speed.
2.2.4 POWER MANAGEMENT
The IDLEN bit of the OSCCON register determines
whethe r the devi ce goes into Slee p mode or o ne of th e
Idle modes when the SLEEP instruction is executed.

2.4 Clock Source Modes
Clock Source modes can be classified as external or
internal.
External Clo ck mod es rely on e xternal circui try for
the clock source. Examples are: Clock modules
(EC mode), quartz crystal resonators or ceramic
resonators (LP, XT and HS modes) and Resistor-
Capacitor (RC mode) circuits.
Internal clock sources are contained internally
within the Oscillator block. The Oscillator block
has three internal oscillators: the 16 MHz High-
Frequency Internal Oscillator (HFINTOSC),
500 kHz Medium-Frequency Internal Oscillator
(MFINTOSC) and the 31.25 kHz Low-Frequency
Internal Os ci llator (LFINTOSC ).
The syste m cl oc k can be selected betwee n ex tern al or
internal clock sources via the System Clock Select
(SCS<1:0>) bits of the OSCCON register. See
Section 2.11 “Clock Switching” for additional
information.
2.5 External Clock Modes
2.5.1 OSCILLATOR START-UP TIMER (OST)
When t he os cil lator modu le is co nfi gure d for LP, XT or
HS mo des , the O sc illat or Start-up Timer (OS T) c ounts
1024 oscillations from OSC1. This occurs following a
Power-on Reset (POR) and when the Power-up Timer
(PWRT) has expired (if configured), or a wake-up from
Sleep. During this time, the program counter does not
increment and program execution is suspended. The
OST ensures that the oscillator circuit, using a quartz
cryst al res onator o r ce ramic res onator, has st arted an d
is providing a stable system clock to the oscillator
module. When switching between clock sources, a
delay is required to allow the new clock to stabilize.
These oscillator delays are shown in Table 2-2.
In order to mi nimize laten cy between externa l oscillator
start-up and code execution, the Two-Speed Clock
Start-up mode can be selected (see Section 2.12
“Two-Speed Clock Start-up Mode”).
TABLE 2-2: OSCILLATOR DELAY EXAMPLES
2.5.2 EC MODE
The External Clock (EC) mode allows an externally
generated logic level as the system clock source. When
operating in this mode, an external clock source is
connected to the OSC1 input and the OSC2 is available
for general purpose I/O. Figure 2-5 shows the pin
connections for EC mode.
The Exter nal Clock (EC) offer s different power m odes,
Low Pow er (ECLP), Med ium Power (ECMP) and High
Power (ECHP), selectable by the FOSC<3:0> bits.
Each mode is best suited for a certain range of
frequencies. The ranges are:
ECLP – below 500 kHz
ECMP – between 500 kHz and 16 MHz
ECHP – above 16 MHz
The Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) is disabled when
EC mode is selected. Therefore, there is no delay in
operation after a Power-on Reset (POR) or wake-up
from Sleep. Because the PIC® MCU design is fully
static, stopping the external clock input will have the
effect of halting the device while leaving all data intact.
Upon restarting the external clock, the device will
resume operation as if no time had elapsed.

2.5.3 LP, XT, HS MODES
The LP, XT and HS modes support the use of quartz
crystal resonators or ceramic resonators connected to
OSC1 and OSC2 (Figure 2-6). The mod e select s a low ,
medium or high gain setting of the internal inverter-
amplifi er to support vari ous resonator typ es and spee d.
LP Oscillator mode selects the lowest gain setting of the
internal inverter-amplifier . LP mode current consumption
is the least of the three modes. This mode is bes t suited
to drive resonators with a low drive level specification, for
example, tuning fork type cry st als.
XT Oscillator mode selects the intermediate gain
setting of the internal inverter-amplifier. XT mode
current c onsumption is the medium of the three mo des.
This mode is best suited to drive resonators with a
medium drive level specification.
HS Oscillator mode offers a Medium Power (MP) and a
High Power ( HP) option selectable by th e FOSC<3:0>
bits. The MP selections are best suited for oscillator
frequencies between 4 MHz and 16 MHz. The HP
selection has the highest gain setting of the internal
inverter-amplifier and is best suited for frequencies
above 16 MHz. HS mode is best suited for resonators
that require a high drive setting.

2.5.4 EXTERN AL RC MODES
The external Resistor-Capacitor (RC) modes support
the use of an external RC circuit. This allows the
designer maximum flexibility in frequency choice while
keeping costs to a minimum when clock accuracy is not
required. There are two modes: RC and RCIO.
2.5.4.1 RC Mode
In RC mode, the RC circuit connects to OSC1. OSC2/
CLKOUT outputs the RC oscillator frequency divided
by four. This signal may be used to provide a clock for
external circuitry, synchronization, calibration, test or
other application requirements. Figure 2-8 shows the
external RC mode connections.
FIGURE 2-8: EXTERNAL RC MODES
2.5.4.2 RCIO Mode
In RCIO mode, the RC circuit is connected to OSC1.
OSC2 becomes a general purpose I/O pin.
The RC oscillator frequency is a function of the supply
voltage, the resi stor (REXT) and capacitor (CEXT) values
and the operating temperature. Other factors affecting
the oscillator frequency are:
input threshold voltage variation
component tolerances
pack aging variations in capa citance
The user also needs to take into account variation due
to tolerance of external RC components used.
2.6 Internal Clock Modes
The oscillator module has three independent, internal
oscillators that can be configured or selected as the
system clock source.
1. The HFINTOSC (High-Frequency Internal
Oscillator) is factory calibrated and operates at
16 MHz. The frequency of the HFINTOSC can
be user-adjusted via software using the
OSCTUNE register (Register 2-3).
2. The MFINTOSC (Medium-Frequency Internal
Oscillator) is factory calibrated and operates
at 500 k Hz. The frequency of the MFI NTOSC
can be user-adjusted via software using the
OSCTUNE register (Register 2-3).
3. The LFINTOSC (Low-Frequency Internal
Oscillator) is factory calibrated and operates at
31.25 kHz. The LFINTOSC cannot be user-
adjusted, but is designed to be stable over
temperature and voltage.
The sy stem clock s peed can be selecte d via so ftware
using the Internal Oscillator Frequency select bits
IRCF<2:0> of the OSCCON register.
The syste m cl oc k can be selec ted betw ee n external or
internal cloc k sources via the System Clock Selection
(SCS<1:0>) bits of the OSCCON register. See
Section 2.1 1 “Clock Switching” for more i nformation.
2.6.1 INTOSC WITH I/O OR CLOCKOUT
T wo of the clock modes selecta ble with the FOSC<3:0>
bits of the CONFIG1H Configuration register configure
the internal oscillator block as the primary oscillator.
Mode selection determines whether OSC2/CLKOUT/
RA7 will be configu red as general purpos e I/O (RA7) or
FOSC/4 (CLKOUT). In both modes, OSC1/CLKIN/RA7
is configured as general purpose I/O. See
Section 24.0 “Special Features of the CPU” for more
information.

PIC18(L)F2X/4XK22
2.6.1.1 OSCTUNE Register
The HFINTOSC/MFINTOSC oscillator circuits are
factory calibrated but can be adjusted in software by
writing to the TUN<5:0> bits of the OSCTUNE register
(Register 2-3).
The default value of the TUN<5:0> is000000’. The
value is a 6-bit two’s complement number.
When the OSCTUNE register is modified, the
HFIN TOSC/M FIN TOSC frequency will begin shifting to
the new frequency . Code execution continues during this
shift. There is no indi cation that the shift has occurred.
The TUN<5:0> bits in OSCTUNE do not affect the
LFINTOSC frequency. Operation of features that
depend on the LFINTOSC clock s ource frequency, such
as the Power-up Timer (PWRT), Watchdog Timer
(WDT), Fail-Safe Clock Monitor (FSCM) and
peripherals, are not af fected by the change in frequency .
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
31.25 kHz frequency option is selected. This is covered
in greater detail in Section 2.2.3 “Low Frequency
Selection”.
The PLLEN bit controls the operation of the frequency
multiplier, PLL, for all primary external clock sources
and internal oscillator modes. However, the PLL is
intended for operation with clock sources between
4 MHz and 16 MHz. For more details about the function
of the PLLEN bit, see Section 2.8.2 “PLL in HFIN-
TOSC Modes”

2.7.1 LFINTOSC
The Low-Frequency Internal Oscillator (LFINTOSC) is
a 31.25 kHz internal clock source. The LFINTOSC is
not tunab le, but is designed to be stable across temper-
ature and volt age. See Sec tion 27.0 “Electrical Char-
acteristics” for the LFINTOSC accuracy
specifications.
The output of the LFINTOSC can be a clock source to
the primar y cl ock or the INTOSC clock (see Figure 2-1).
The LFINTOSC is also the clock source for the Power-
up T imer (PWRT), W atchdog T imer (WDT) and Fail-Safe
Clock Monit or (FSCM).
2.7.2 FREQUENCY SELECT BITS (IRCF)
The HFINTOSC (16 MHz) and MFINTOSC (500 MHz)
outputs connect to a divide circuit that provides
frequencies of 16 MHz to 31.25 kHz. These divide
circuit frequencies, along with the 31.25 kHz
LFINTOSC output, are multiplexed to provide a single
INTOSC clock output (see Figure 2-1). The IRCF<2 :0 >
bits of the OSCCON register, the MFIOSEL bit of the
OSCCON2 register and the INTSRC bit of the
OSCTUNE register, select the output frequency of the
internal oscillators. One of eight frequencies can be
selected via software:
•16 MHz
•8 MHz
•4 MHz
•2 MHz
1 MHz (default after Reset)
500 kHz (MFINTOSC or HFINTOSC)
250 kHz (MFINTOSC or HFINTOSC)
31 kHz (LFINTOSC, MFINTOSC or HFINTOSC)
2.7.3 INTOSC FREQUENCY DRIFT
The factory calibrates the internal oscillator block outputs
(HFINTOSC/MFINTOSC) for 16 MHz/500 kHz. However ,
this frequency may drift as VDD or tempera ture changes.
It is possible to adjust the HFINTOSC/MFINTOSC fre-
quency by modifying the value of the TUN<5:0> bits in the
OSCTUNE register. This has no effect on the LFINTOSC
clock source frequency .
Tuning the HFINTOSC/MFINTOSC source requires
knowing when to make the adjustment, in which direc-
tion it should be made and, in some cases, how large a
change is needed. Three possible compensation tech-
niques are discussed in the following sections. How ever ,
other techniques may be used.
2.7.3.1 Compensating with the EUSART
An adjustment may be required when the EUSART
begins t o genera te frami ng errors or receive s dat a with
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.
2.7.3.2 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
Timer1 oscillator.
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
block is running too fast. To adjust for this, decrement
the OSCTUNE register.
2.7.3.3 Compensating with the CCP Module
in Capture Mode
A CCP module can use free running Timer1, Timer3 or
Timer5 clocked by the internal oscillator block and an
external event with a known period (i.e., AC power
frequency). The time of the first event is captured in the
CCPRxH:CCPRxL registers and is recorded for use later .
When the second event causes a capture, the time of the
first event is subtracted 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 calcu-
lated 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 int er nal osci llator block is r unning to o slow ; to
compensate, increment the OSCTUNE register .

PIC18(L)F2X/4XK22
2.8 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 f requenc y from the crys ta l osci llator. 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.
2.8.1 PLL IN EXTERNAL OSCILLATOR
MODES
The PLL can be enabled for any of the external
oscillator modes using the OSC1/OSC2 pins by either
setting the PLLCFG bi t (CONFIG1 H<4>), or setti ng the
PLLEN bit (OSCTUNE<6>). The PLL is designed for
input frequencie s of 4 MHz up to 16 MHz. The PLL then
multiplies the oscillator output frequency by four to
produce an internal clock frequency up to 64 MHz.
Oscil lator frequenci es below 4 MHz sh ould not be use d
with the PLL.
2.8.2 PLL IN HFINTOSC MODES
The 4x frequency multiplier can be used with the
internal oscillator block to produce faster device clock
speeds than are normally possible with the internal
oscillator. When enabled, the PLL multiplies the
HFINTOSC by four to produce clock rates up to
64 MHz.
Unlike external clock modes, when internal clock
modes are enabled, the PLL can only be controlled
through software. The PLLEN control bit of the
OSCTUNE register is used to enable or disable the
PLL operation when the HFINTOSC is used.
The PLL is des ig ned for input frequen ci es o f 4 MHz up
to 16 MHz.

2.9 Effects of Power-Managed Modes
on the Various Clock Sources
For more information about the modes discussed in this
section see Section 3.0 “Power-Managed Modes”. A
quick reference list is also available in Table 3-1.
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 secondary oscillator (SOSC) is
operating and providing the device clock. The
secondary oscillator may also run in all power-
managed modes if required to clock Timer1, Timer3 or
Timer5.
In internal oscillator modes (INTOSC_RUN and
INTOSC_IDLE), the internal oscillator block provides
the device clock source. The 31.25 kHz LFINTOSC
output can be used directly to provide the clock and
may be enabled to support various special features,
regardless of the power-managed mode (see
Section 24.3 “Watchdog Timer (WDT)”,
Section 2.12 “Two-Speed Clock S tart- up Mode” and
Section 2.13 “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 HFINTOSC and MFINTOSC
outpu ts may b e used direct ly to clock the device or may
be divided down by the postscaler. The HFINTOSC
and MFIN TOSC ou tputs a re disab led when t he clock is
provided directly from the LFINTOSC output.
When the Sleep mod e is select ed, all cl ock source s 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 LFINTOSC is required to support WDT operation.
Other features may be operating that do not require a
device clock source (i.e., SSP slave, PSP, INTn pins
and others). Peripherals that may add significant
current consumption are listed in Section 27.8 “DC
Characteristics: Input/Output Characteristics,
PIC18(L)F2X/4XK22”.
2.10 Power-up Delays
Power-up delays are controlled by two timers, so that
no external Reset circuitry is required for most
applications. The delays ensure that the device is kept
in Reset until the device power supply is stable under
normal circumstances and the primary clock is
operating and stable. For additional information on
power-up delays, see Section 4.6 “Device Reset
Timers”.
The first timer is the Power-up Timer (PWRT), which
provides a fixed delay on power-up. 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
crysta l 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 PLL is enabled with external oscillator
modes, the device is kept in Reset for an additional
2 ms, f ollowi ng the OST del ay, so the P LL can l ock to
the incoming clock frequency.
There is a delay of interval TCSD, following POR, while
the controller becomes ready to execute instructions.
This delay runs concurrently with any other delays.
This may be the only de lay that occ urs when any of the
EC, RC or INTIOSC modes are used as the primary
clock source .
When the HFINTOSC is selected as the prim ary clock,
the main system clock can be delayed until the
HFINTOSC is stable. This is user selectable by the
HFOFST bit of the CONFIG3H Configuration register.
When the HFOFST bit is cleared, the main system
clock is delayed until the HFINTOSC is stable. When
the HFOFST bit is set, the main system clock starts
immediately.
In eithe r case , the HF IOFS bi t of th e OSCCO N regist er
can be read to determine whether the HFINTOSC is
operating and stable.

2.11 Clock Switching
The system clock source can be switched between
external and internal clock sources vi a software using
the System Clock Select (SCS<1:0>) bits of the
OSCCON register.
PIC18(L)F2X/4XK22 devices contain circuitry to pre-
vent clock “glitches” when switching between clock
sources. A short pause in the device clock occurs dur-
ing the clock s witch. The lengt h of this p ause 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”.
2.11.1 SYSTEM CLOCK SELECT
(SCS<1:0>) BITS
The System Clock Select (SCS<1:0>) bits of the
OSCCON register select t he syst em clock source t hat
is used for the CPU and peripherals.
When SCS< 1:0> = 00, the system clock source is
determined by configuration of the FOSC<3:0>
bits in the CONFI G1H Configuration registe r.
When SCS< 1:0> = 10, the system clock source is
chosen by the internal oscillator frequency
selected by the INTSRC bit of the OSCTUNE
register, the MFIOSEL bit of the OSCCON2
register and the IRCF<2 :0> bi ts of the OS CCON
register.
When SCS< 1:0> = 01, the system clock source is
the 32.768 kHz secondary oscilla tor shared with
Ti mer1, Timer3 and Timer5.
After a Reset, the SCS<1:0> bits of the OSCCON
re g i ster are alwa ys cleared.
2.11.2 OSCILLATOR START-UP TIME-OUT
STATUS (OSTS) BIT
The Oscillator Start-up Time-out Status (OSTS) bit of
the OSCCON register indicates whether the system
clock is running from the external clock source, as
defined by the FOSC<3:0> bits in the CONFIG1H
Configuration register, or from the internal clock
source. In particular, when the primary oscillator is the
source of the primary clock, OSTS indicates that the
Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) has timed out for LP,
XT or HS modes.

Note: Any automatic clock switch, which may
occur from Two-Speed Start-up or Fail-
Safe Clock Monitor, does not update the
SCS<1:0> bits of the OSCCON register.
The user can monitor the SOSCRUN,
MFIOFS and LFIOFS bits of the
OSCCON2 register, and the HFIOFS and
OSTS bits of the OSCCON register to
determine the c urrent system clock source.

DS41412E-page 42 2010-2012 Microchip Technology Inc.
2.11.3 CLOCK SWITCH TIMING
When switching between one oscillator and another,
the new oscillator may not be operating which saves
power (see Figure 2-9). If this is the case, there is a
del ay afte r the SCS<1:0> bits of the OSCCON register
are modified before the frequ en cy change takes pl ac e.
The OSTS and IOFS bits of the OSCCON register will
reflect the current active status of the external and
HFINTOSC oscillators. The timing of a frequency
selection is as follows:
1. SCS<1:0> bits of the OSCCO N register are mod-
ified.
2. The old c lo ck continues to operate until the new
clock is ready.
3. Cloc k switch circuit ry waits for two con secutive
rising edges of the ol d clock after the new clock
ready signal goes true.
4. The syste m clock is h eld lo w s t arti ng at the next
falling edge of the old clock.
5. Clock switc h ci rcu itry wai t s for an addit ional two
rising edges of the new clock.
6. On the ne xt fallin g edg e of the n ew clock the low
hold on the system clock is released and new
clock is switched in as the system clock.
7. Cloc k switch is complete.
See Figure 2-1 for more details.
If the H FI N T O SC i s the so urc e of both the old an d new
frequency, there is no start-up delay before the new
frequency is active. This is because the old and new
frequencies are derived from the HFINTOSC via the
postscaler and multiplexer.
Start-up delay specifications are located in
Sect ion 27. 0 “E lect rical Char acter istic s”, under AC
Specifications (Oscillator Module).
2.12 Two-Speed Clock Start-up Mode
Two-Speed Start-up mode provides additional power
savings by minimizing the latency between external
oscillator start-up and code execution. In applications
that make heavy use of the Sleep mode, Two-Speed
Start-up will remove the external oscillator start-up
time from the time spent awake and can reduce the
overall power consumption of the device.
This mode allows the application to wake-up from
Sleep , perform a few instructions using the HFINTOSC
as the clock source and go back to Sleep without
waiting for the primary oscillator to become stable.
When the oscillat or module is configured for LP, XT or
HS modes, the Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) is
enabled (see Section 2.5.1 “Oscillator Start-up Timer
(OST)). The OST will suspend program execution until
1024 oscillations are counted. Two-Speed Start-up
mode minimizes the delay in code execution by
operating from the internal oscillator as the OST is
counting. When the OST count reaches 1024 and the
OSTS bit of the OSCCON register is set, program
executi on switches to the external oscillator.
2.12.1 TWO-SPEED START-UP MODE
CONFIGURATION
Two-Speed Start-up mode is enabled when all of the
following settings are configured as noted:
Two-Speed Start-up mode is enab led w hen the
IESO of the CONFIG1H Configuration regi ster is
set.
SCS<1:0> (of the OSCCON register) = 00.
FOSC<2:0> bits of the CONFIG1H Configuration
register are configured for LP, XT or HS mode.
Two-Speed Start-up mode becomes active after:
Power- on Reset ( POR) and, if enabled, after
Power-up Timer (PWRT) has expired, or
Wake-up from Sleep.
Note: Executing a SLEEP instruction will abort
the oscillator start-up time and will cause
the OSTS bit of the OSCCON register to
remain clear.

Checking the state of the OSTS bit of the OSCCON
register will confirm if the microcontroller is running
from the external clock source, as defined by the
FOSC<2:0> bits in CONFIG1H Configuration register,
or the internal oscillator. OSTS = 0 when the external
oscillator is not ready, which indicates that the system
is running from the internal oscillator.

2.13 Fail-Safe Clock Monitor
The Fail-Saf e Cl oc k Mo nit or (F SCM) al low s the devic e
to continue operating sh oul d th e e xte rna l os ci ll ator fail.
The FSCM can detect oscillator failure any time after
the Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) has expired. The
FSCM is enabled by setting the FCMEN bit in the
CONFIG1H Configuration register. The FSCM is
applicable to all external oscillator modes (LP, XT, HS,
EC, RC and RCIO).
FIGURE 2-10: FSCM BLOCK DIAGRAM
2.13.1 FAIL-SAFE DETECTION
The FSCM module detects a failed oscillator by
compari ng the extern al osci llat or to the FSCM sa mple
clock. The sample clock is generated by dividing the
LFINTOSC by 64 (see Figure 2-10). Inside the fail
detector block is a latch. The external clock sets the
latch on each falling edge of the external clock. The
sample clock cle ars the latch on each rising edge of the
sample c loc k. A fail ure is d ete cte d w h en an entire half-
cycle of the sample clock elapses before the primary
clock goes low.
2.13 .2 FAIL-SAFE OPERATION
When the external clock fails, the FSCM switches the
devi ce clock to an interna l clock s ource and s ets the b it
flag OSC FIF of the PIR2 registe r. The OSCFIF flag will
generate an interrupt if the OSCFIE bit of the PIE2
register is also set. The device firmware can then take
steps to mitigate the problems that may arise from a
failed clock. The system clock will continue to be
sourced from the internal clock source until the device
firmware successfully restarts the external oscillator
and switches back to external operation. An automatic
transition back to the failed clock source will not occur.
The internal clock source chosen by the FSCM is
determined by the IRCF<2:0> bits of the OSCCON
register. This allows the internal oscillator to be
configured before a failure occurs.
2.13.3 FAIL-SAFE CONDITION CLEARING
The Fail-Safe condition is cleared by either one of the
following:
•Any Reset
By togg ling the SCS1 bit of the OSCCON register
Both of these conditions restart the OST. While the
OST is running, the device continues to operate from
the INTOSC selected in OSCCON. When the OST
times out, the Fail-Safe condition is cleared and the
device automatically switches over to the extern al clock
source. The Fail-Safe condition need not be cleared
before the OSCFIF flag is cleared.
2.13.4 RESET OR WAKE-UP FROM SLEEP
The FSCM is designed to detect an oscillator failure
after the Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) has expired.
The OST is used after waking up from Sleep and after
any type of Reset. The OST is not used w ith the EC or
RC Clock modes so that the FSCM will be active as
soon as the Reset or wake-up has completed. .

Note: Due to the wide range of oscillator start-up

Reset or Sleep). After an appropriate
amount of time, the user should check the
OSTS bit of the OSCCON register to verify
the oscillator start-up and that the system
clock switchover has successfully
completed.
Note: When the device is configured for Fail-
Safe clock monitoring in either HS, XT, or
LS Oscillator mode s then the IESO config-
uration bit should also be set so that the
clock will automatically switch from the
internal clock to the external oscillator
when the OST times out.

PIC18(L)F2X/4XK22
3.0 POWER-MANAGED MODES
PIC18(L)F2X/4XK22 devices offer a total of seven
operating modes for more efficient power manage-
ment. 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
bloc k). The Sleep mode does not use a cl ock source .
The power-managed modes include several power-
saving features of fered on previous PIC® microcontroller
devices. One of the clock switching features allows the
controller to use the secondary oscillator (SOSC) in
place of the primary oscill ator . Also included is the Sleep
mode, of fered by all PIC® microcontroller devices, where
all device clock s are stopped .
3.1 Selecting Power-Managed Modes
Selecting a power-managed mode requires two
decisions:
Whether or not the CPU is to be clocked
The selectio n of a cl ock source
The IDLEN bit (OSCCON<7>) controls CPU c locking,
while the SCS<1:0> bits (OSCCON<1:0>) select the
clock source. The individual modes, bit settings, clock
sources and affected modules are summarized in
Table 3-1.
3.1.1 CLOCK SOURCES
The SCS<1:0> bits allow the selection of one of three
clock sources for power-managed modes. They are:
the primary clock, as defined by the FOSC<3:0>
Configuration bits
the secondary clock (the SOSC oscillator)
the internal oscillator block
3.1.2 ENTERING POWER-MANAGED
MODES
Switching from one power-managed mode to another
begins by loading the OSCCON register. The
SCS<1:0> bits select the clock source 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. Refer to
Section 2.1 1 “Clock Switching” for more i nformation.
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 select
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.

DS41412F-page 48 2010-2012 Microchip Technology Inc.
3.1.3 MULTIPLE FUNCTIONS OF THE
SLEEP COMMAND
The power-managed mode that is invoked with the
SLEEP instruction is determined by the value of the
IDLEN bit at the time the instruction is executed. If
IDLEN = 0, when SLEEP is executed, the device enters
the Sleep mode and all clocks stop and minimum
power is consumed. If IDLEN = 1, when SLEEP is
executed, the device enters the IDLE mode and the
system clock continues to supply a clock to the
peripherals but is disconnected from the CPU.
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 source.
3.2.1 PRI_RUN MODE
The PRI_RUN mode is the normal, full-power
execution mode of the microcontroller. This is also the
default mode upon a device Reset, unless Two-Speed
Start-up is enabled (see Section 2.12 “Two-Speed
Clock Start-up Mode” for details). In this mode, the
device is operated off the oscillator defined by the
FOSC<3:0> bits of the CONFIG1H Configuration
register.
3.2.2 SEC_RUN MODE
In SEC_RUN mode, the CPU and peripherals are
clocked from the secondary external oscillator. This
gives users the option of lower power consumption
while still using a high accuracy clock source.
SEC_RUN mode is entered by setting the SCS<1:0>
bits to ‘ 01’. When SEC_RUN mod e is active , all of the
following are true:
The device clock source is switched to the SOSC
oscillator (see Figure 3-1)
The primary oscillator is shut down
The SOSCRUN bit (OSCCON2<6>) is set
The OSTS bit (OSCCON2<3>) is cleared
On transitions from SEC_RUN mode to PRI_RUN
mode, th e perip herals and C PU co ntinue to be c locke d
from the SOSC oscillator, while the primary clock is
started. When the primary clock becomes ready, a
clock switch back to the primary clock occurs (see
Figure 3-2). When the clock switch is complete, the
SOSCRUN 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 and the
SOSC oscillator continues to run.
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 LFINTOSC source, this
mode provides the best power conservation of all the
Run mo des , whi le s till executing cod e. It wo rks we ll for
user applications which are not highly timing-sensitive
or do not require high-speed clocks at all times. If the
primary clock source is the internal oscillator block –
either LFINTOSC or INTOSC (MFINTOSC or
HFINTOSC) – there are no distinguishable differences
between the PRI_RUN and RC_RUN modes during
execution. Entering or exiting RC_RUN mode,
howev er, causes a clock s w itc h de lay. Therefore, if the
primary clock source is the internal oscillator block,
using RC_RUN mode is not recommended.
This mode is entered by setting the SCS1 bit to ‘1’. To
maint ain s oftw are co mp atibil ity w ith future devices , it is
recommended that the SCS0 bit also be cleared, even
though the bit is ignored. When the clock source is
switched to the INTOSC multiplexer (see Figure 3-1),
the primary oscill ator is shut down and the OSTS bit is
cleared. The IRCF<2:0> bits (OSCCON<6:4>) may be
modified at any time to immediately change the clock
speed.
When the IRCF bits and the INTSRC bit are all clear,
the INTOSC output (HFINTOSC/MFINTOSC) is not
enabled and the HFIOFS and MFIOFS bits will remain
clear. There will be no indication of the current clock
source. The LFINTOSC source is providing the device
clocks.
If the IRCF bits are changed from all clear (thus,
enabling the INT OSC output) or if INTSRC or MFIOSEL
is set, then the HFIOFS or MFIOFS bit is set after the
INTOSC output becomes stable. For details, see
Table 3-2.
Clocks t o the device continue wh ile the INTOSC source
stabilizes after an interval of TIOBST.
If the IR CF bits were previously at a non-ze r o val ue, or
if INTSRC was set before setting SCS1 and the
INTOSC source was already stab le, then the HFIOFS
or MFIOFS bit will remain set.
Note: The secondary external oscillator should
already be running prior to entering
SEC_RUN mode. If the SOSCGO bit or
any of the TxSOSCEN bits are not set
when the SCS<1:0> bits are set to ‘01’,
entry to SEC_RUN mode will not occur
until SOSCGO bit is set and secondary
external oscillator is ready.
2010-2012 Microchip Technology Inc. DS41412F-page 49
PIC18(L)F2X/4XK22
On transitions from RC_RUN mode to PRI_RUN mode,
the device continues to be clocked from the INTOSC
multipl exer while the prima ry clock is st arted. When the
prim ary cl oc k b ec om es ready, a cloc k s witc h to the pri-
mary clock occurs (see Figure 3-3). When the clock
switch is complete, the HFIOFS or MFIOFS bit is
cleared, the OSTS bit is set and the primary clock is
providing the device clock. The IDLEN and SCS bits
are not affected by the switch. The LFINTOSC source
will continue to run if either the WDT or the Fail-Safe
Clock Monitor is enabled.

3.3 Sleep Mode
The Po wer-Mana ged Slee p mode in the P IC18 (L)F2X/
4XK22 devices is identical to the legacy Sleep mode
offered in all other PIC® microcontroller devices. It is
entered by clearing the IDLEN bit of the OSCCON
register and executing the SLEEP instruction. This shuts
down the selected oscillator (Figure 3-4) and all clock
source Status bits are cleared.
Entering the Sleep mode from either Run or Idle mode
does not require a clock switch. This is because no
clocks are needed once the controller has entered
Sleep. If the WDT is selected, the LFINTOSC source
will continue to operate. If the SOSC 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 clocked
until the clock source selected by the SCS<1:0> bits
becomes ready (see Figure 3-5), or it will be clocked
from the internal oscillator block if either the Two-S peed
Start-up or the Fail-Safe Clock Monitor are enabled
(see Section 24.0 “Spe cial Features o f 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 in struction is
exec uted, the periph erals will be cl ocked fr om the cl ock
source selected by the SCS<1:0> bits; however , the CPU
will not be clocked . The clock so urce status bits are not
affected. Setting IDLEN an d executing a SLEEP instruc-
tion provides a quick method of switching from a given
Run mode to its c orre s pon di ng I dl e m o de.
If the WDT is se lec ted , the LFINTOSC source will con-
tinue t o operate. If the SOSC oscillator is enable d, it wil l
also continue to run.
Since the CPU is not executing instructions, the only
exits from any of the Idle modes are by interrupt, WDT
time-out, or a Reset. When a wake event occurs, CPU
execution is delayed by an interval of TCSD while it
becomes ready to execute code. When the CPU
begins executing co de , it re sumes 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 mode). The IDLEN and SCS bits are
not affected by the wake-up.
While in any Idle mode or the Sleep mode, a WDT
time-out will result in a WDT wake-up to the Run mode
currently specified by the SCS<1:0> bits.

FIGURE 3-5: TRANSITION TIMING FOR WAKE FROM SLEEP (HSPLL)
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 s ource, si nce the cl ock source
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 FOSC<3:0> Configuration bits. The OSTS bit
remains set (see Figure 3-6).
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 3-7).
3.4.2 SEC_IDLE MODE
In SEC_IDLE mode, the CPU is disabled but the
peripherals continue to be clocked from the SOSC
oscillator . This mode is entered from SEC_RUN by set-
ting the IDLEN bit and exec uting a SLEEP instruction. If
the device is in another Run mode, set the IDLEN bit
first, then set the SCS<1:0> bits to ‘01’ and execute
SLEEP. When the clock source is switched to the SOSC
oscill ator , the prima ry oscillat or is shut down , the OSTS
bit is cleared and the SOSCRUN bit is set.
When a wake event occurs, the peripherals continue to
be clocked from the SOSC oscillator. After an interval
of TCSD following t he wa ke eve nt, the C PU begi ns ex e-
cuting co de be ing clocked by the SOSC os ci lla tor. The
IDLEN and SCS bits are not affected by the wake-up;
the SOSC oscillator continues to run (see Figure 3-7).

3.4.3 RC_IDLE MODE
In RC_I DL E m od e, t he CPU is disabl ed but the periph-
erals co nti nue to b e c loc ke d from the i nter nal os cil lator
block from the HFINTOSC multiplexer output. This
mode allows for controllable power conservation during
Idle period s.
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. It is recommended
that SCS0 also be cleared, although its value is
ignored, to maintain software compatibility with future
devices. The HFINTOSC multiplexer may be used to
select a higher clock frequency by modify ing the IRCF
bits be for e ex ecut in g the SLEEP instruction. When the
clock source is switched to the HFINTOSC 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 ei ther
the INTSRC or MFIOSEL bits are set, the HFINTOSC
output is enabled. Either the HFIOFS or the MFIOFS
bits become set, after the HFINTOSC output stabilizes
after an interval of TIOBST. For information on the
HFIOFS and MFIOFS bits, see Table 3-2.
Clocks to the peripherals continue while the
HFINTOSC source stabilizes. The HFIOFS and
MFIOFS bits will remain set if the IRCF bits were
previ ously set at a non-zero valu e or if INTSRC was set
before the SLEEP instruction was executed and the
HFINT O SC so urc e was al read y s t a ble. If the IRCF bit s
and INTSRC are all clear, the HFINTOSC output will
not be enabled, the HFIOFS and MFIOFS bits will
remain clear and there will be no indication of the
current clock source.
When a wake event occurs, the peripherals continue to
be clocked from the HFINTOSC multiplexer output.
After a delay of TCSD following the wake event, the
CPU begins executing code being clocked by the
HFINTOSC multiplexer. The IDLEN and SCS bits are
not affected by the wake-up. The LFINTOSC source
will continue to run if either the WDT or the Fail-Safe
Clock Moni tor is ena ble d.

3.5 Exiting Idle and Sleep Modes
An exit from Sleep mode or any of the Idle modes is
triggered by any one of the following:
an interrupt
•a Reset
a Watchdog 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
“Sleep Mode” and 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 the Sleep mode to
a Run mode. To enable this functionality, an interrupt
source m us t be enabled by setting i ts enable bit in one
of the INTCON or PIE registers. The exit sequence is
initiate d when the c orrespondin g interrupt flag bit is set.
The instruction immediately following the SLEEP
instruc tion is exec uted on all exit s by interr upt from Idle
or Sleep modes. Code execution then branches to the
interrupt vector if the GIE/GIEH bit of the INTCON
register is set, otherwise code execution continues
without branching (see Section 9.0 “Interrupt s ).
A fixed dela y of int erval TCSD followi ng the wake event
is required when leaving Sleep and Idle modes. This
delay is requi red for the CPU to prepare f or 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 wi ll res ul t in an ex it fro m the
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 24.3 “Watchdog
Timer (WDT)”).
The WDT timer and postscaler are cleared by any one
of the fo llowing:
executin g a SLEEP instruction
executin g a CLRWDT instruction
the loss of the currently selected clock source
when the Fail-Safe Clock Monitor is enabled
modifying the IRCF bits in the OSCCON register
when the internal oscillator block is the device
clock source
3.5. 3 EXIT BY RESET
Exiting Sleep and Idle modes by Reset causes code
execution to restart at address 0. See Section 4.0
“Reset” for more details.
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.
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, INTOSC,
and INTOSCIO 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 pr epare for execution. Instruction execution resumes
on the first clock cycle following this delay.

PIC18(L)F2X/4XK22
3.6 Selective Peripheral Module
Control
Idle mode allows users to substantially reduce power
consumption by stopping the CPU clock. Even so,
peripheral modules still remain clocked, and thus, con-
sume power. There may be cases where the applica-
tion needs what IDLE mode does not provide: the
allocation of power resources to the CPU processing
with minimal power consumption from the peripherals.
PIC18(L)F2X/4XK22 family devices address this
requirement by allowing peripheral modules to be
selectively disabled, reducing or eliminating their
power consumption. This can be done with control bits
in the Peripheral Module Disable (PMD) registers.
These bits generically named XXXMD are located in
control regi sters PMD0, PMD1 or PMD2.
Setting the PMD bit for a module disables all clock
sources to that module, reducing its power
consumption to an absolute minimum. In this state,
power to the control and status registers associated
with the peripheral is removed. Writes to these
registers have no effect and read values are invalid.
Clearing a set PMD bit restores power to the
assoc iated co ntrol an d st atus reg isters , thereby settin g
those registers to their default values.

4.0 RESET
The PIC18(L)F2X/4XK22 devices differentiate between
various kin ds of Re set:
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 Res et
h) Stack Underflow Reset
This section discusses Resets generated by MCLR,
POR and BO R and cov ers the ope rati on of the various
start-up timers. Stack Reset events are covered in
Section 5.2.0.1 “Stack Full and Underflow Resets”.
WDT Re sets a r e co v ere d i n Section 24.3 “Watchdog
Timer (WDT)”.
A simplif ied block diagra m of the On-Chip Rese t Circu it
is shown 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
register indicate that a specific Reset event has
occurred . In most cases, th ese bit s can on ly be cl eared
by the event and must be set by the application after
the event. The 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 4.7 “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 9.0 “Interrupts”. BOR is covered in
Section 4.5 “Brown-out Reset (BOR)”.

PIC18(L)F2X/4XK22
4.3 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. An internal weak pull-up is enabled when the
pin is configured as the MCLR input.
The MCLR pin i s not driven l ow b y any i nter nal Res ets ,
including the WDT.
In PIC18(L)F2X/4XK22 devices, the MCLR input can
be disabled with the MCLRE Configuration bit. When
MCLR is disabled, the pin be comes a digit al in put. See
Section 10.6 “PORTE Registers” for more
information.
4.4 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 either leave the
pin floating, or tie the MCLR pin through a resistor to
VDD. This will eliminate external RC components
usually needed to create a Power-on Reset delay. A
minimu m rise rate for VDD is specified. For a slow rise
time, see Figure 4-2.
When the device sta rt s norm al ope ration (i.e., exit s the
Reset condition), device operating parameters (volt-
age, frequency, temperature, etc.) must be met to
ensure proper operation. If these conditions are not
met, the device must be held in Reset until the operat-
ing conditions are met.
POR events are captured by the POR bit of the RC ON
register. The state of the bit is set to ‘0’ whenever a
POR occurs; it does not change for any other Reset
event. POR is not reset to ‘1’ by any hardware event.
To capture m ult ipl e ev en t s, the user must manu all y s et
the bit to ‘1’ by software following any POR.

4.5 Brown-out Reset (BOR)
PIC18(L)F2X/4XK22 devices implement a BOR circuit
that provides the user with a numb er of co nfigurati on and
power-saving options. The BOR is controlled by the
BORV<1:0> and BOREN<1:0> bits of the CONFIG2L
Configuration register. There are a total of four BOR
confi gurations wh ic h are s um m ari ze d in Table 4-1.
The BOR threshold is set by the BORV<1:0> bits. If
BOR is enabled (any values of BOREN<1:0>, except
00’), any drop of VDD below VBOR for greater than
TBOR will reset the device. A Reset may or may not
occur if VDD falls 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 add itional t ime de lay, TPWRT. 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.
The BOR ci rcui t h as an output th at fee ds into the POR
circuit and r earms the POR within th e operating range
of the BOR. This early rearming of the POR ensures
that the device will remain in Reset in the event that VDD
falls below the operating range of the BOR circuitry.
4.5.1 DETECTING BOR
When BO R is enab led, the BO R bi t alway s re set s to 0
on any BOR or POR event. This makes it difficult to
deter mi ne if a BOR ev ent ha s occ urred just by reading
the state of BOR alone. A more reliable method is to
simultaneously check the state of both POR and BOR.
This assumes that the POR and BOR bits are reset to
1’ by software immediately after any POR event. If
BOR is ‘0’ wh il e POR is ‘1’, it can be reliably assumed
that a BOR event has occurred.
4.5.2 SOFTWARE ENABLED BOR
When BOREN<1:0> = 01, the BOR can be enabled or
disabled by the user in software. This is done with the
SBOREN control bit of the RCON register. Setting
SBOREN enables the BOR to function as previously
described. Clearing SBOREN disables the BOR
entirely. The SBOREN bit operates only in this mode;
otherwise it is read as ‘0’.
Placing the BOR under software control gives the user
the additional flexibility of tailoring the application to the
environment without having to reprogram the device to
change BOR configuration. It also allows the user to
tailor device power consumption in software by
eliminating the incremental current that the BOR
consumes. While the BOR current is typically very small,
it may have some im p act in low -pow er applic ations.
4.5.3 DISABLING BOR IN SLEEP MODE
When BOREN<1:0> = 10, the BOR remains under
hardware control and operates as previously
described. Whenever the device enters Sleep mode,
howev er, the BOR is automatica lly dis abl ed . When the
device returns to any other operating mode, BOR is
automati cally 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.
4.5.4 MINIMUM BOR ENABLE TIME
Enabling the BOR also enables the Fixed Voltage
Reference (FVR) when no other peripheral requiring the
FVR is acti ve. The BOR be comes active only afte r the
FVR stabilizes. Therefore, to ensure BOR protection,
the FVR settling time must be considered when
enabling the BOR in software or when the BOR is
automatically enabled after waking from Sleep. If the
BOR is disabled, in software or by reentering Sleep
before the FVR stabilizes, the BOR circuit will not sense
a BOR condition. The FVRST bit of the VREFCON0
register can be used to determine FVR stability.
Note: Even when BOR is under software
control, the BOR Reset voltage lev el is still
set by the BORV<1:0> Configuration bits.
It cannot be changed by software.

PIC18(L)F2X/4XK22
4.6 Device Reset Timers
PIC18(L)F2X/4XK22 devices incorporate three
separate on-chip timers 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 Ti mer (OST)
PLL Lock Time-out
4.6.1 POWER-UP TIMER (PWRT)
The Power-up Timer (PWRT) of PIC18(L)F2X/4XK22
devices is an 11-bit counter which uses the
LFINTOSC source as the clock input. Th is yields an
approximate time interval of 2048 x 32 s=65.6ms.
While the PWRT is counting, the device is held in
Reset.
The power-up time delay depends on the LFINTOSC
clock and will vary from chip-to -chip due to temperature
and process variation.
The PWRT is enabled by clearing the PWRTEN
Configuration bit.
4.6.2 OSCILLA TOR STAR T-UP TIMER
(OST)
The Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) provides a 1024
oscillator cycle (from OSC1 input) delay after the
PWRT delay is over. This ensures that the crystal
oscillator or resonator has started and stabilized.
The OST time-out is invoked only for XT, LP and HS
modes and only on P ower- on R eset, o r on ex it fr om al l
power-managed modes that stop the external oscillator .
4.6.3 PLL LOCK TIME-OUT
With the PLL enabled, the time-out sequence following a
Power-on Reset is slightly different from other os cillator
modes. A separate timer is used to provide a fixed time-
out that is sufficient for the PLL to lock to the main
oscillator frequency. This PLL lock time-out (TPLL) is
typic ally 2 m s and fo llows the os cilla tor star t-up ti me-out .
4.6.4 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
configuration 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
devices in RC mode and with the PWRT disabled, on
the other hand, there will be no time-out at all.
Since the time-outs occur from the PO R pulse, if MCLR
is k ept l ow lo ng en ough, all time- outs wi ll ex pire , afte r
which, bringing MCLR high will allow program
execution to begin immediately (Figure 4-5). This is
useful for testing purpo ses or to synchroniz e more than
one PIC® MCU device operating in parallel.

4.7 Reset State of Registers
Some registers are unaffected by a Reset. Their status
is unknown on POR and unchanged by all other
Resets. All other reg isters are forc ed to a “R es et s t a te”
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
operation. Status bits from the RCON register, RI, TO,
PD, POR and BOR, are set or cleared differently in
different Reset situations, as indicated in Table 4-3.
These bits are used by software to determine the
nature of the Reset.
Table 5-2 describes the Reset states for all of the
Special Function Registers. The table identifies
differences between Power-On Reset (POR)/Brown-
Out Reset (BOR) and all other Resets, (i.e., Master
Clear, WDT Resets, STKFUL, STKUNF, etc.).
Additionally, the table identifies register bits that are
changed when the device receives a wake-up from
WDT or other interrupts.

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 buses; this allows for
concurr ent access of the two memory spaces. The data
EEPROM, for practical purposes, can be regarded as
a peripheral device, since it is addressed and accessed
through a set of control registers.
Additional detailed information on the operation of the
Flash program memory is provided in Section 6.0
“Flash Program Memory”. Data EEPROM is
discussed separately in Section 7.0 “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).
This family of devices contain the following:
PIC18(L)F23K22, PIC18(L)F43K22: 8 Kbytes of
Flash Memory, up to 4,096 single-word instructions
PIC18(L)F24K22, PIC18(L)F44K22: 16 Kbytes of
Flash Memory, up to 8,192 single-word instructions
PIC18(L)F25K22, PIC18(L)F45K22: 32 Kbytes of
Flash Memory, up to 16,384 single-word instruc-
tions
PIC18(L)F26K22, PIC18(L)F46K22: 64 Kbytes of
Flash Memory, up to 37,768 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 map for PIC18(L)F2X/4XK22
devices is shown in Figure 5-1. Memory block details
are shown in Figure 20-2.

FIGURE 5-1: PROGRAM MEMORY MAP AND STACK FOR PIC18(L)F2X/4XK22 DEVICES
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 bits 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, contains
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 5.2.2.1 “Computed
GOTO”).
The PC addresses bytes in the program memory. To
prevent the PC from becoming misaligned with word
instructions, the Least Signific ant bit of PCL is fixed to
a value of ‘0’. The PC increments by two 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 r eturn a ddre ss s tack allows a ny co mb ination of up
to 31 program calls and interrupts to occur. The PC is
pushed onto the stack when a CALL or RCALL
instruction is executed or an interrupt is Acknowled ged.
The PC value is pulled off the stack on a RETURN,
RETLW or a RETFIE instruction . PCLATU and PCLATH
are not affected by any of the RETURN or CALL
instructions.
The stac k 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 Pointer
is readable and writable and the address on the top of
the stac k is readable and writable through the Top-of-
Stack (TOS) Special File Registers. Data can also be
pushed to, or popped from the stack, using these
registers.

PIC18(L)F2X/4XK22
A CALL type instruction causes a push onto the stack;
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
follow in g the CALL). A RETURN type ins tru cti on c au se s
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 es et v alu e. Status bit s in dic at e if the stack 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 (GIE)
bits while accessing the stack to prevent inadvertent
stack corruption.
FIGURE 5-2: RETURN ADDRESS STACK AND ASSOCIATED REGISTERS
5.1.2.2 Return Stack Pointer (STKPTR)
The STKPTR regis ter (Register 5-1) cont ains the S tac k
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 Over-
flow Reset Enable) Configuration bit. (Refer to
Section 24.1 “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 bit 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 t o pus h va lue s on to the st ac k and pull values of f
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.
TO SU, T OSH and TOSL ca n be modi fied to pl ace da ta
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.
5.2 Register Definitions: Stack Pointer
5.2.0.1 Stack Full and Underflow Resets
Devic e Rese t s on Stack Overfl ow an d Stack U nderf low
conditions are enabled by setting the STVREN bit in
Config ura tion Regi ster 4L. When STVREN is 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 co ndition 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.
5.2.1 FAST REGISTER STACK
A fast register stack is provided for the Status, WREG
and BSR registers, to provide a “fast return” option for
interrupts. The stack for each register is only one level
deep and is neither readable nor writable. It is loaded
with the current value of the corresponding register
when the processor vectors for an interrupt. All inter-
rupt sources will push values into the stack registers.
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 s ervicing a low pri ority interru pt, the stac k register
values stored by the low priority interrupt will be
overwritten. In these cases, users must save the key
registers by software during a low priority interrupt.
If interru pt priority i s not used, all interrupt s may use th e
fast register stack for returns from interrupt. If no
interrupts are used, the fast regis ter s t ac k c an be use d
to restore the Status, WREG and BSR registers at the
end of a subroutine call. To use the fast register stack
for a subroutine call, a CALL label,FAST instru ction
must be executed to save the Status, WREG and BSR
registers to the fast register stack. A RETURN,FAST
instruction is then executed to restore these registers
from the fast regist er st a ck.
Example 5-1 shows a sou rce code e xampl e that uses
the fast register stack during a subroutine call and
return.

EXAMPLE 5-1: FAST REGISTER STACK
CODE EXAMPLE
5.2.2 LOOK-UP TABLES IN PROGRAM
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 imple me nted in two ways :
Computed GOTO
Table Reads
5.2.2.1 Computed GOTO
A comput ed GOTO is a ccom pli shed by adding an offset
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 wi th an offset into the ta bl e befo re
execut ing a c al l to tha t table. The first instruction of th e
called routine is the ADDWF PCL instruction. The next
instruction executed will be one of the RETLW nn
instructions that returns the valuenn’ to the calling
function.
The offset value (in WREG) specifies the number of
bytes that the program counter should advance and
should be multiples of two (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 USIN G
AN OFFSET VALUE
5.2.2.2 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 6.1 “Table Reads and Table
Writes”.

5.3 PIC18 Instruction Cycle
5.3.1 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 program 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.
5.3.2 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
pipelining, each instruction effectively ex ecutes in one
cycle. If an instruction causes the program counter to
change (e.g., GOTO), then two cycles are required to
complete the instruct ion (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 c ycles. Dat a mem ory is read during Q2
(operand read) and written during Q4 (destination
write).

5.3.3 INSTRUCTIONS IN PROGRAM
MEMORY
The program memory is addressed in bytes.
Instr uctions are stored as ei ther two byt es or four byte s
in program memory. The Least Significant Byte of an
instruc tion wo rd is alway s stored in a progra m memo ry
location with an even address (LSb = 0). To maintain
alignment with instruction boundaries, the PC
increm ents in step s of two and the LSb will a lways rea d
0’ (see Section 5.1.1 “Program Counter”).
Figure 5-4 shows an ex am ple of h ow instruction word s
are stored in the program memory.
The CALL and GOTO instructions have the absolute
program memory address embedded into the
instruction. 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 manner . 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 25.0 “Instruction Set Summary”
provides further details of the instruction s et.
FIGURE 5-4: INSTRUCTIONS IN PROGRAM MEMORY
5.3.4 TWO-WORD INSTRUCTIONS
The standard PIC18 instruction set has four two-word
instructions: CALL, MOVFF, GOTO and LSFR. In all
cases, the second word of the instruction always has
1111’ as its four M ost Si gnific ant bi ts; the ot her 12 bit s
are literal data, usually a data memory address.
The use of 1111’ in the 4 MSbs of an instruction
specifies a special form of NOP. If the instruction is
executed in proper sequence – immediately after the
first word – the data in the second word is accessed
and used by the instruction sequence. If the first word
is skipped 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
prec ed ed b y a co nd i ti ona l in s tru ct i on t h at c han g es t he
PC. Example 5-4 shows how this works.

5.4 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 spac e is divid ed into as man y as
16 banks that contain 256 bytes each. Figures 5-5
through 5-7 show the dat a memory orga nization for the
PIC18(L)F2X/4XK22 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 plement ed 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 si ngle cycle, PI C18
devices implement an Ac ce ss Bank. This is 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 Bank
Select Register (BSR). Section 5.4.2 “Access Bank”
provides a detailed description of the Access RAM.
5.4. 1 BANK SELECT 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 provide d for e ach 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 PIC1 8 instruct ion se t make us e
of the Ban k Pointer , known as the Ba nk Select Reg ister
(BSR). This SFR holds the 4 Most Significant bits of a
location’s address; the instruction itself includes the
8 Least Significant bits. Only the four lower bits of the
BSR are implem ented (BSR<3:0 >). The upper fou r bits
are unused; they will always read ‘0’ and cannot be
written to. T he BSR can be l oaded direct ly by using the
MOVLB instructi on.
The value of the BSR indicates the bank in data
memory; the eight bits in the instruction show the
location in the bank and can be thought of as an offset
from the bank’s lower boundary. The relationship
betwee n the BSR’ s valu e an d the ba nk div is ion in data
memory is shown in Figu res 5-5 through 5-7.
Since up to 16 regis ters m ay share the s ame l ow-order
address, the user must always be careful to ensure th at
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 ad dres s of F 9h w h il e th e BSR
is 0Fh will end up resetting the program counter.
While any bank can be sel ec ted, only those bank s that
are actually implemented can be read or written to.
Writes to unimplemented banks are ignored, while
reads from unimplemented banks will return ‘0’s. Eve n
so, the STATUS register will still be affected as if the
operation was successful. The data memory maps in
Figures 5-5 through 5-7 indicate 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 regi ster s.
Note: The operation of some aspects of data
memory are changed when the PIC18
extended instruction set is enabled. See
Section 5.7 “Data Memory and the
Extended Instruction Set” for more
information.

5.4.2 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 also mean s th at the user must a lways
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 streamline ac cess for the most comm only used dat a
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 Acc ess Bank con sist s o f the f irst 96 byte s of mem-
ory (00h-5Fh) i n Bank 0 an d the last 160 bytes of mem-
ory (60h-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 (Figures 5-5 thro ugh 5-7).
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’, the in str uct 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 entirely.
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 60h and
above, t his mean s that us ers can ev aluate an d operat e
on SFRs more efficiently. The Access RAM below 60h
is a goo d place for da ta values that 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). Th is i s di sc us se d i n m ore d etail
in Section 5.7.3 “Mapping the Access Bank in
Indexed Literal Offset Mode”.
5.4.3 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.
5.4.4 SPECIAL FUNCTION REGISTERS
The Special Function Registers (SFRs) are registers
used by the CPU and peripheral modules for controlling
the desire d operation of the device. These regist ers are
implemented as static RAM. SFRs start at the top of
data memory (FFFh) and extend downward to occupy
the top portion of Bank 15 (F38h 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
associated 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
peripheral feature are described in the chapter for that
peripheral.
The SFRs are typically distributed among the
periphera ls w ho se functions th ey c ontr ol. U nus ed SFR
locations are unimplemented and read as ‘0’s.

5.4.5 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 des ti nati on for an instruc-
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 not affect Status bi t s , se e
the instruction set summaries in Section 25.2
“Extended Instruction Set” and Table 25-3.

5.6 Data Addressing Modes
While the program memory can be addressed in only
one way – through the program counter – information
in the da ta m emory sp ace can be addr ess ed in severa l
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 in struction 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 5.7.1 “Indexed
Addressing with Literal Offset”.
5.6.1 INHEREN T AND LITERAL
ADDRESSING
Many PIC18 c ontrol in stru ctions do no t need any arg u-
ment at all; they either perform an operation that glob-
ally affects the device or they operate implicitly on one
register. This addressing mode is known as Inherent
Address ing. Examples in clude 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.
5.6.2 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 ruct ion se t, bit-or iented 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 eithe r a register address in
one o f the banks of d ata RAM ( Section 5.4.3 “General
Purpose Register File”) or a location in the Access
Bank (Section 5.4.2 “Access Bank”) as the data
source for the instruction.
The Acc es s RAM b it ‘a’ de term in es ho w the address is
interpreted. When ‘a’ is ‘1’, the contents of the BSR
(Section 5.4.1 “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. W hen ‘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 destination bit ‘d’. Wh en ‘d ’ is 1’, the results are
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 implicit in the inst ruction; their
destination is either the target register being operated
on or the W register.
5.6.3 INDIRECT ADDRESSING
Indirect addressing a llows the use r 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 pointers to the locations which are to be rea d
or written. Since the FSRs are themselves located in
RAM as Special File Registers, they can also be
directly manipulated under program control. This
makes FSRs very useful in implementing data struc-
tures, such as tables and arrays in data memory.
The registers for indirect addressing are also
implemented with Indirect File Operands (INDFs) that
permit au tomati c mani pulati on of the poi nter value with
auto-incrementing, auto-decrementing or offsetting
with a not her value. This allows for ef fi ci ent code, using
loops, such as the example of clearing an entire RAM
bank in Example 5-5.

5.6.3.1 FSR Regist er s and the INDF
Operand
At the core of indirect addressing are three se ts of re g-
isters: FSR0, FSR1 and FSR2. Each represents a pair
of 8-bit registers, FSRnH and FSRnL. Each FSR pair
holds a 12-bit value, therefore, the four upper bits of the
FSRnH register ar e not used. The 12-bit FSR value can
address the entire range o f t he dat a m emory i n a l inear
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
implemented. 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 their corresponding FSR as
a pointer to the instruction’s target. The INDF operand
is ju st a conven ient way of using the pointer.
Because indi rect ad dre ssing us es a full 1 2-bit a ddress ,
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.
5.6.3.2 FSR Regis ters and PO S TINC,
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 which cannot be directly
read or written. Accessing these registers actually
accesses the location to which the associated FSR
register pair point s, and al so pe rform s a s pe ci fic ac tio n
on the FSR value. They are:
POSTDEC: accesses the location to which the
FSR point s , then auto ma tic al ly dec rem en t s the
FSR by 1 afterwa r ds
POSTINC: acc es se s the loc ati on to which the
FSR point s , then auto ma tic al ly inc rem en ts the
FSR by 1 afterwa r ds
PREINC: automatical ly inc r em en t s the FSR by
one, then uses the location to which the FSR
points in the operati on
PLUSW: adds the signed value of the W register
(range o f -127 to 12 8) to that of the F SR a nd us es
the location to which the result points in the
operation.
In this context, accessing an INDF register uses the
value in the associated FSR register without changing
it. Similarly, accessing a PLUSW register gives the
FSR value an offset by tha t in the W re gis ter ; however,
neither W nor the FSR is actually changed in the
operation. Accessing the other virtual registers
changes the value of the FSR register.

DS41412F-page 92 2010-2012 Microchip Technology Inc.
Operations on the FSRs with POSTDEC, POSTINC
and PREINC affect the entire register pai r; that is, roll-
overs of the FSRn L regi ster fro m FFh to 0 0h ca rry 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.).
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.
5.6.3.3 Operations by FSRs on FSRs
Indirect addressing operations that target other FSRs
or virtual registers represent special cases. For
example, using an FSR to point to one 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. Attempts to write to INDF1 using INDF0 as
the 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 either
the INDF2 or POSTDEC2 register 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 generally
permit ted on al l other SFRs. Use rs should exercise the
appropriate caution that they do not i nadvertently chang e
settings that mi gh t a ffect the op er ati on of the device.
5.7 Data Memory and the Extended
Instruction Set
Enabling the PIC18 extended instruction set (XINST
Configuration bit = 1) significantly changes certain
aspects of data memory and its addressing. Specifi-
cally, the use of the Access Bank for many of the core
PIC18 instructions is different; this is due to the intro-
duct ion of a new addressing mode fo r the data memory
space.
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 remain unchanged.
5.7.1 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
conditi ons, instruct ions that use th e Access Ban k – 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
address ing mod e is kn own as I ndexed Ad dressing with
Literal Offset, or Indexed Literal 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 arg um ent is le ss th an or equal to
5Fh.
Under these conditions, the file address of the
instruction is not interpreted as the lower byte of an
address (used with the BSR in direct addres sing), or as
an 8- bit addres s in the Acc ess Bank . Instead , the valu e
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.
5.7.2 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
continue to execute as before. A comparison of the
different possible addressing modes when the
extended instruction set is enabled is shown in
Figure 5-11.
Those who desire to use byte-oriented or bit-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 25.2.1
“Extended Instruction Syntax”.

5.7.3 MAPPING THE ACCESS BANK IN
INDEXED LITERAL OFFSET MODE
The use of Indexed Literal Offset Addressing mode
effe ctively chan ges how the first 96 locat ions of Access
RAM (0 0h to 5Fh ) are mapped. Rather than contai nin g
just the contents of the bottom section of Bank 0, this
mode ma p s the co nte nts from a user define d “window”
that can be located anywhere in the data memory
space. The val ue of FSR2 establishes the lower bound-
ary of the addresses mappe d into the window , while the
upper boundary is defined by FSR2 plus 95 (5Fh).
Address es in the A cces s RA M abo ve 5F h are ma ppe d
as previously described (see Section 5.4.2 “Access
Bank”). An example of Access Bank remapping in this
addressing mode is shown in Figure 5-12.
Remapping of the Access Bank applies only to opera-
tions u sing the I ndexed Lite ral Offset mode. Ope rations
that use the BSR (Access RAM bit is ‘1’) will continue
to use dir ect addressing as before.
5.8 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

PIC18(L)F2X/4XK22
6.0 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 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 cannot 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 n eed to be
a valid instruction. Executing a program memory
location that forms an invalid instruction results in a
NOP.
6.1 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).
The table read operation retrieves one byte of data
directly from program memory and places it into the
TABLAT register. Figure 6-1 shows the operation of a
tabl e read.
The table write operation stores one byte of data from the
TABLAT register into a write block holding register. The
procedure to write the contents of the holding registers
into program memory is detailed in Section 6.6 “W riting
to Flash Program Memory”. Figure 6-2 shows the
operation of a table write with program memory and data
RAM.
Table operations work with byte entities. Tables
containing data, rather than program instructions, are
not required to be word aligned. Therefore, a table can
start and end at any byte address. If a ta ble write is being
used to write executable code into program memory,
program instructions will need to be word aligned.

6.2 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
6.2.1 EECON1 A ND EECON2 REGISTERS
The EECON1 register (Register 6-1) 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
EEPGD is clear, any subsequent operations will
operate on the data EEPROM memory. When EEPGD
is set, any subsequent operations will operate on the
program memory .
The CFGS control bit determines if the access will be
to the Co nfigur ation/Ca librati on regis ter s or to pro gram
memory/data EEPROM memory. When CFGS is set,
subsequent operations will operate on Configuration
registers regardless of EEPGD (see Section 24.0
“Special Features of the CPU”). When CFGS i s clear ,
memory selection access is determined by EEPGD.
The FREE bit allows the program memory erase
operation. When FREE is set, an erase operation is
initiated on the next WR command. When FREE is
clear, only writes are enabled.
The WREN bit, when set, will allow a write operation.
The WREN bit is clear on power-up.
The WRERR bit is set by hard ware w he n the WR bit i s
set and cleared when the internal programming timer
expires and the write operation is complete.
The WR control bit initiates write operations. The WR
bit cannot be cleared, only set, by firmware. Then WR
bit is cleared b y hardw are at the complet ion of the write
operation.

program memory array is discussed in Section 6.6 “Writing to Flash Program Memory”.

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 of the PIR2
register is set when the write is complete.
The EEIF flag stays set until cleared by
firmware.

6.3.1 TABLAT – TABLE LATCH REGISTER
The Table Latch (TABLAT) is an 8-bit register mapped
into the SFR sp ace. The Table Latch regi ster is used to
hold 8-bit data during data transfers between program
memory and data RAM.
6.3.2 TBLPTR – TABLE POINTER
REGISTER
The Table Poin ter (T BLPTR ) re gis ter add res se s a by te
within the progra m memo ry. The TBLPTR is comprise d
of three SFR registers: Table Pointer Upper Byte,
Table 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 on the TBLPTR
affect only the low-order 21 bits.
6.3.3 TABLE POINTE R BOUNDARI ES
TBLPTR is used in reads, writes and erases of the
Flash program memory.
When a TBLRD i s ex ecut ed , all 22 b its of th e T BLPT R
determine which byte is read from program memory
directly into the TABLAT register.
When a TBLWT is executed the byte in the TABLAT
register is written, not to Flash memory but, to a holding
register in preparation for a program memory write. The
holding registers constitute a write block which varies
depending on the device (see Table 6-1).T he 3, 4, or 5
LSbs of the TBLPTRL register determine which specific
address within the holding register block is written to.
The MSBs of the Table Pointer have no effect during
TBLWT operations .
When a program memory write is executed the entire
holding register block i s wr i tte n to th e Flash memory at
the address determined by the MSbs of the TBLPTR.
The 3, 4, or 5 LSBs are ignored during Flash memory
writes. For more detail, see Section 6.6 “Writing to
Flash Program Memory”.
When an erase of program memory is executed, the
16 MSbs of the Table Pointer register
(TBLPTR<21:6>) point to the 64-byte block that will be
erased. The Least Significant bits (TBLPTR<5:0>) are
ignored.
Figure 6-3 describes the relevant boundaries of
TBLPTR based on Flash program memory operations.

6.4 Reading the Flash Program
Memory
The TBLRD instruction retrieves data from program
memory and plac es it into data RAM. Table r ead s fro m
program memory are performed 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 6-4
shows the interface between the internal program
memory and the TABLAT.

6.5 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
microcontroller itself, a block of 64 bytes of program
memory is erased. The Most Significant 16 bits of the
TBLPTR<21:6> point to the block being erased. The
TBLPTR<5:0> bits are ignored.
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 en able
write op erations. The FREE bit i s set to selec t an erase
operation.
The write initiate sequence for EECON2, shown as
steps 4 through 6 in Section 6.5.1 “Flash Program
Memory Erase Sequence”, is used to guard against
accidental writes. This is sometimes referred to as a
long write.
A long w rite i s nec essary for erasing th e i nternal Fl ash.
Instruction execution is halted during the long write
cycle. The long write is terminated by the internal
program ming timer.
6.5.1 FLASH PROGRAM MEMORY
ERASE SEQUENCE
The sequence of events for erasing a block of internal
program memory is:
1. Load Table Pointer register with address of
block bei ng er as ed .
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 block erase
cycle.
7. The CPU will stall for duration of the erase
(about 2 ms using internal timer).
8. Re-enable interrupts.

6.6 Writing to Flash Program Memory
The programming block size is 64 bytes. Word or byte
program ming is not supported.
Table writes are used internally to load the holding
registers needed to program the Flash memory. There
are only as many holding regi sters as there are bytes
in a write block (64 bytes).
Since the Table Latch (TABLAT) is only a single byte,
the TBLWT instruction needs to be executed 64 times
for each programming operation. All of the table write
operat ions w ill e ssenti ally be sh ort writes bec ause only
the holding registers are written. After all the holding
registers have been written, the programming
operation of that block of memory is started by
configuring the EECON1 register for a program
memory write and performing the l ong w rite se que nc e.
The long write is necessary for programming the
inte rnal Fl ash. I nstruc tion ex ecutio n is hal ted duri ng 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 6-5: TABLE WRITES TO FLASH PROGRAM MEMORY
6.6.1 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 block erase proc edure.
5. Load Table Pointer register with address of first
byte being written.
6. Write the 64-byte blo ck into the holdi ng registers
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 begin the write cy cl e.
12. The CPU will stall for dura tion of t he write (about
2 ms using internal timer).
13. Re-enable interrupts.
14. Verify the memory (table read).
This procedure will require about 6 ms to update each
write block of memory . An example of the required code
is gi ven in Example 6-3.
Note: The default value of the holding registers on
device R es ets an d afte r wr ite op e rat io ns is
FFh. A write of FFh to a holding register
does not modify that byte. This means that
individual bytes of program memory may
be mo dified, prov ided t hat the chan ge doe s
not atte mpt to cha nge any bi t from a ‘0’ to a
1’. When modifying individual bytes, it is
not necessary to load all holding registers
before execu ting a lon g writ e opera tion.

6.6.2 WRITE VERIFY
Depending on the application, good programming
practice may dictate that the value written to the

7.0 DAT A EEPROM MEMORY
The data EEPROM is a nonvolatile memory array,
separate from the data RAM and program memory,
which 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 writable during normal
operation over the entire VDD range.
Four 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 EEADR:EEADRH
register pair hold 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 the Data EEPROM Memory
parameters in Section 27.0 “Electrical Characteris-
tics” for limit s.
7.1 EEADR and EEADRH Registers
The EEADR register is used to address the data
EEPROM for read and write operations. The 8-bit
range of the register can address a memory range of
256 bytes (00h to FFh). The EEADRH register expands
the range to 1024 bytes by adding an additional two
address bits.
7.2 EECON1 and EECON2 Registers
Access to the data EEPROM is controlled by two
registers : EECON1 and EECO N2. These are the same
regi sters which control access to the program memory
and are used in a similar manner for the data
EEPROM.
The EECON1 register (Register 7-1) is the control
register for data and program memory access. Control
bit EEPGD det erm ine s if the access wi ll be to program
or data EEPROM memory. When the EEPGD bit is
clear, operations will access the data EEPROM
memory. When the EEPGD bit is set, pro gram memor y
is ac cessed.
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 the CFGS bit is set,
subseq uent ope rations acce ss Confi gur ation reg isters.
When the CFGS bit is clear, the EEPGD bit selects
either program Flash or data EEPROM memory.
The WREN bit, when set, will allow a write operation.
On power-up, the WREN bit is clear.
The WRERR bit is set by hard ware w he n the WR bit i s
set and cleared when the internal programming timer
expires and the write operation is complete.
The WR control bit initiates write operations. The bit
can be set but no t cleared b y software . It is cle ared only
by hardware at the completion of the write opera tion.
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 6.1 “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
may read as ‘1. This can indicate that a
write operation was prematurely termi-
nated by a Reset, or a write operation was
attempted improperly.
Note: The EEIF interrupt flag bit of the PIR2
register is set when the write is complete.
It must be cleared by software.

7.3 Reading the Data EEPROM
Memory
To read a data memory location, the user must write
the address to the EEADR register, clear the EEPGD
control bi t of the EECON1 regi st er a nd then set contro l
bit, RD. The data is available on the very next instruc-
tion cycle; therefore, the EEDATA register can be read
by the next instructi on. EEDA T A will hold this va lue until
another read operation, or until it is written to by the
user (during a write operation).
The basic process is shown in Example 7-1.
7.4 Writing to the Data EEPROM
Memory
To write an EEPROM data location, the address must
first be writ ten to the EEAD R r egiste r and the da ta writ-
ten to the EEDATA register. The sequence in
Example 7-2 must be followed to initiate the write cy cle.
The write will not begin if this sequence is not exactly
followed (write 55h to EECON2, write 0AAh to
EECON2, then set WR bi t) 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,
EEADR and EEDATA cannot be modified. The WR bit
will be inhibited from being set unless the WREN bit is
set. Both WR and WREN cannot be set with the same
instruction.
At the completion of the write cycle, the WR bit is
cleared by 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.
7.5 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.

7.6 Operation During Code-Protect
Data EEPROM memory has its own code-protect bits
in Configuration Words. External read and write
operations are disabled if code protection 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 24.0
“Special Features of the CPU” for additional
information.
7.7 Protection Against Spurious Write
There are conditions when the user may not want to
write to the data EEPR OM 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 (T PWRT).
The write initiate sequence an d the WREN bi t tog eth er
help prevent an accidental write during brown-out,
power glitch or software malfunction.
7.8 Using the Data EEPROM
The data EEPROM is a high-endurance, byte
addressable array that has been optimized for the
storage of frequently changing information (e.g.,
program variables or other dat a that are updated of ten).
When variables in one section change frequently, while
variables in another sec tion do not c hange, it is possible
to exceed the total number of write cycles to the
EEPROM without exceeding the total number of write
cycles to a single byte. Refer to the Data EEPROM
Memory parameters in Section 27.0 “Electrical
Characteristics” for write cycle limit s. If this is the case,
then an array refresh must be performed. For this
reason, variables that change infrequently (such as
constants, IDs, calibration, etc.) should be stored in
Flash program memory.
A simple data EEPROM refresh routine is shown in
Example 7-3.

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 instru cti on cycle. This 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 show n in Table 8-1.
8.2 Operation
Example 8-1 show s the instruc tion sequen ce 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.
Example 8-2 shows the sequenc e to do an 8 x 8 signe d
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 INTERRUPTS
The PIC18(L)F2X/4XK22 devices have multiple
interrupt sources and an interrupt priority feature that
allows most interrupt sources to be assigned a high or
low pr ior i t y le vel (I NT 0 do es no t hav e a pr i ori t y bi t , it is
always a high prior ity). The hi gh priority interrupt v ector
is at 0008h and the low priority interrupt vector is at
0018h. A hig h priority in terrupt even t will interrupt a low
priority interrupt that may be in progress.
There are 19 registers used to control interrupt
operation.
These registers are:
INTCON, INTCON2, INTCON3
PIR1, PIR2, PIR3, PIR4, PIR5
PIE1, PIE2, PIE3, PIE4, PIE5
IPR1, IPR2, IPR3, IPR4, IPR5
RCON
It is recommended that the Microchip header files sup-
plied with MPLAB® IDE be used for the symbolic 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
9.1 Mid-Range Compatibility
When the IPEN b it is cleared (default st ate), the interrupt
priority feature is disabled and interrupts are com p atible
with PIC® microcontroller mid-range devices. In
Comp atibility mode, the interrupt priority bit s of the IPRx
registers have no effect. The PEIE/GIEL bit of the
INTCON register is the global interrupt enable for the
peripherals. The PEIE/GIEL bit disables only the
peripheral interrupt sources and enables the peripheral
interrupt sources when the GIE/GIEH b it is also set. The
GIE/GIEH bit of the INTCON register is the global
interrupt enable which enables all non-peripheral
interrupt sources and disables all interrupt sources,
including the peripherals. All interrupts branch to
address 0008h in Compatibility mode.
9.2 Interrupt Priority
The interrupt priority feature is enabled by setting the
IPEN bit of the RCON register. When interrupt priority
is enabled the GIE/GIEH and PEIE/GIEL global inter-
rupt enable bits of Compatibility mode are replaced by
the GIEH high priority, and GIEL low priority, global
interrupt enables. When set, the GIEH bit of the INT-
CON register enables all interrupts that have their
associated IPRx register or INTCONx register priority
bit set (high p riority ). When clea r, the GIEH bit disab les
all interru pt sources including those selected as low pri-
ority. When clear, the GIEL bit of the INTCON register
disables only the interrupts that have their associated
priority b it clea red (low pri ority). Wh en set, the GIEL bit
enables the low priority sources when the GIEH bi t is
also set.
When the interrupt flag, enable bit and appropriate
Global Interrupt Enable (GIE) bit are all set, the
interrupt will vector immediately to address 0008h for
high priority, or 0018h for low priority, depending on
level of the interrupting source’s priority bit. Individual
interrupts can be disabled through their corresponding
interrupt enable bits.
9.3 Interrupt Response
When an i nte rrupt is responded to , t he Global Interru pt
Enable bit is cleared to disable further interrupts. The
GIE/GIEH bit is the Global Interrupt Enable when the
IPEN bit is cleared. When the IPEN bit is set, enabling
interrupt priority levels, the GIEH bit is the high priority
global interrupt enable and the GIEL bit is the low
priority Global Interrupt Enable. High priority interrupt
sources can interrupt a low priority interrupt. Low
priority interrupts are not processed while high priority
interrupts are in progress.
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 in the INTCONx and PIRx
registers. The interrupt flag bits must be cleared by
software before re-enabling interrupts to avoid
repeating the same interrupt.
The “return from interrupt” instruction, RETFIE, exits
the interrupt routine and sets the GIE/GIEH bit (GIEH
or GIEL if priority levels are used), which re-enables
interrupts.
For external interrupt events, such as the INT pins or
the PORTB interrupt-on-change, the interrupt latency
will be three to four instruction cycles. The exact
latency is the same for one-cycle or two-cycle
instructions. Individual interrupt flag bits are set,
regardless of the status of their corresponding enable
bits or the Global Interrupt Enable bit.

9.4 INTCON Registers
The INTCON registers are readable and writable
registers, which contain various enable, priority and
flag bits.
9.5 PIR Registers
The PIR regi sters c onta in the ind ividu al flag bit s for the
peripheral interrupts. Due to the number of peripheral
interrupt sources, there are five Peripheral Interrupt
Request Flag registers (PIR1, PIR2, PIR3, PIR4 and
PIR5).
9.6 PIE Registers
The PIE registers contain the individual enable bits for
the peripheral interrupts. Due to the number of
peripheral interrupt sources, there are five Peripheral
Interrupt Enable registers (PIE1, PIE2, PIE3, PIE4 and
PIE5). When IPEN = 0, the PEIE/GIEL bit must be set to
enable any of these peripheral interrupt s.
9.7 IPR Registers
The IPR registers contain the individual priority bits for the
peripheral interrupts. Due to the number of peripheral
interrupt sources, there are five Peripheral Interrupt
Priority registers (IPR1, IPR2, IPR3, IPR4 and IPR5).
Using the priority bits requires that the Interrupt Priority
Enable (IPEN) bit be set.

Note 1: Interrupt flag bits are set when an
interrupt condition occurs, regardless of
the state of its corresponding enable bit
or the Global Interrupt Enable bit, GIE/
GIEH of the INTCON register.
Note: User software should ensure the appro-
priate interrupt flag bits are cleared prior
to enabling an interrupt and after servic-
ing that interrupt.

9.9 INTn 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, INTxF, is set. This interrupt can be disabled by
clearing the corresponding enable bit, INTxE. Flag bit,
INTxF, must be cleared by 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 processor from Idle or Sleep modes if bit INTxE
was set prior to going into those modes. If the Global
Interrupt Enable bit, GIE/GIEH, is set, the processor
will branch to the interrupt vector following wake-up.
Interrupt priority for INT1 and INT2 is determined by
the value cont ain ed in the interrupt priority bit s, INT1IP
and INT2IP of the INTCON3 registe r . There is no prior-
ity bit associated with INT0. It is always a high priority
interrupt source.
9.10 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) will se t flag bit, TM R0IF. In
16-bit mode, an overflow in the TMR0H:TMR0L regis-
ter pair (FFFFh 0000h) will set TMR0IF. The interrupt
can be enabled/disabled by setting/clearing enable bit,
TMR0IE of the INTCON register. Interrupt priority for
Timer0 is determined by the value contained in the
interrupt priority bit, TM R0IP of the INTCON2 register.
See Sec tio n 11 .0 “Tim er0 Mo dul e” for further details
on the Timer0 module.
9.11 PORTB Interrupt-on-Change
An input c ha nge on PO RTB<7:4> sets f lag bi t, R BIF of
the INTCON register. The interrupt can be enabled/
disabled by setting/clearing enable bit, RBIE of the
INTCON register. Pins must also be individually
enabled with the IOCB register. Interrupt priority for
PORTB in terrupt-on-change is determined by the value
contained in the interrupt priority bit, RBIP of the
INTCON2 regi ste r.
9.12 Context Saving During Interr upts
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 5.2.1
“Fast R egister S tac k”), the user may need to sa ve the
WREG, STATUS and BSR registers on entry to the
Interrupt Service Routine. Depending on the user’s
applic ation, o the r regist ers ma y also ne ed to be save d.
Example 9-1 saves and restores the WREG, STATUS
and BSR regi sters d uring an In terrupt Serv ice Rou tine.

10.0 I/O PORTS
Depending on the device selected and features
enabled, there are up to five ports available. All pins of
the I/O port s are multiple xed with one or more alte rnate
functions 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 five registers for its operation. These
registers are:
TRIS register (data direction register)
PORT register (rea ds the lev els on the pin s of the
device)
LAT register (output latch)
ANSEL register (analog input control)
SLRCON register (port slew rate control)
The Dat a Latch (LAT register ) is usef ul for read-modif y-
write operations on the value that the I/O pins are
driving.
A simplified model of a generic I/O port, without the
inter faces to other peripherals, is s hown in Figure 10-1.

correspo ndi ng data direction re gis ter is TR ISA. Se ttin g
a TRISA bit (= 1) will make the corresponding PORTA
pin an input (i.e., disable the output driver). Clearing a
TRISA bit (= 0) will make the corresponding PORTA
pin an output (i.e., enable t he ou tput drive r and pu t the
contents of the output latch on the sel ected pin).
Reading the PORTA register reads the status of the
pins, whe reas wri ting to it, will write to the P OR T la tch.
The Data La tch (LA TA) register is also memory mapped.
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 24.1 “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 operati on of
pins RA<3:0> and RA5 as analog is selected by setting
the ANSELA<5, 3:0> bits in the ANSELA register which
is the default setting after a Power-on Reset.
Pins RA0 through RA5 may also be used as comparator
inputs or outputs by setting the appropriate bits in the
CM1CON0 and CM2CON0 registers.
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 PORTA pins have TTL input levels and full
CMOS out put driv ers.
The TRISA register controls the drivers of the PORTA
pins, ev en w he n th ey a re being used as analog inputs.
The user should ensure the bits in the TRISA register
are maintained se t whe n using t hem as a nal og inp uts.

10.2 PORTB Registers
PORTB is an 8-bit wide, bidirectional port. The
corresp ond ing data direction re gis ter is TR ISB. Se ttin g
a TRISB bit (= 1) will make the corresponding PORTB
pin an input (i.e., disable the output driver). Clearing a
TRISB bit (= 0) will make the corresponding PORTB
pin an outpu t (i.e., enabl e the output driver and 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 10-2: INITIALIZI NG PORTB
10.2.1 POR TB OUTPUT PRIORITY
Each PORTB pin is multiplexed with other functions.
The pins, their combined functions and their output
priorities are briefly described here. For additional
informa tion, refe r to the ap pro priate sec tion in this da ta
sheet.
When multiple outputs are enabled, the actual pin
control goes to the peripheral with the higher priority.
Table 10-4 lists the PORTB pin functions from the
highest to the lowest priority.
Analog input functions, such as ADC, comparator and
SR latch inputs, are not shown in the priority lists.
These inputs are active when the I/O pin is set for
Analog mode using the ANSELx registers. Digital
output function s may control the pin whe n it is in Analog
mode with the priority shown below.
10.3 Additional PORTB Pin Functions
PORTB pins RB<7:4> have an interrupt-on-change
option. All PORTB pins have a weak pull-up option.
10.3.1 WEAK PULL-UPS
Each of the PORTB pins has an individually controlled
weak internal pull-up. When set, each bit of the WPUB
register enables the corresponding pin pull-up. When
cleared, the RBPU bit of the INTC ON2 register enab les
pull-up s on all pins which also have their co rresponding
WPUB bit set. When set, the RBPU bit disables all
weak pull-ups. 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.
10.3.2 INTERRUPT-ON-CHANGE
Four of the PORTB pins (RB<7:4>) are individually
configurable as interrupt-on-change pins. Control bits
in the IOCB register enable (when set) or disable (whe n
clear) the interrupt function for each pin.
When se t, the RBIE bit of the INTCON reg ister enab les
interrupts on all pins which also have their
corresponding IOCB bit set. When clear, the RBIE bit
disabl es all interru pt-on-changes.
Only pins configured as inputs can cause this interrupt
to occur (i .e., any RB<7:4 > pin co nfigure d as an outp ut
is exclud ed from th e interrupt-o n-change comp arison).
For enabled interrupt-on-change pins, the values are
comp ared with the old val ue latch ed on the la st read of
PORTB. The ‘mismatch’ outputs of the last read are
OR’d together to set the PORTB Change Interrupt flag
bit (RBIF) in the INTCON register.
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 to clear the mis-
match condition (except when PORTB is the
source or destination of a MOVFF instruction).
b) Execute at least one instruction after reading or
writing PORTB, then clear the flag bit, RBIF.

Note: On a Power-on Reset, RB<5:0> are
configu red as analog inputs by default and
read as ‘0’; RB<7:6> are configured as
digital inputs.
When the PBADEN Configuration bit is
set to1’, RB<5:0> will alternatively be
configured as digital inputs on POR.
2010-2012 Microchip Technology Inc. DS41412F- page 141
PIC18(L)F2X/4XK22
A mismatch condition will continue to set the RBIF flag bit.
Reading or writing PORTB will end the mismatch
condition and allow the RBIF bit to be cleare d. The latch
holding the last read value is not affected by a MCLR nor
Brown-out Reset. After either one of these Resets, the
RBIF flag will continue to be set if a mismatch is present.
The interrupt-on-change feature is recommended for
wake-up on key depression operation and operations
where PORTB is only used f or the int errupt-on-change
feature. Polling of PORTB is not recommended while
usin g the interrupt-on-change feature.
10.3.3 ALT ERNATE FUNCTIONS
PORTB i s multiplexed w ith several pe ripheral function s
(Table 10-5) . The pins have TTL input bu ffer s. Some of
these pin functions can be relocated to alternate pins
using the Control fuse bits in CONFIG3H. RB5 is the
default pin for P2B (28-pin devices). Clearing the
P2BMX bit moves the pin function to RC0. RB5 is also
the defau lt p in fo r the CC P3/P3 A peri ph eral pin . Cle ar-
ing the C CP3M X bit m ov es the p in fu nc tio n to th e RC 6
pin (28-pin devices) or RE0 (40/44-pin devices).
T wo other pin functions, T3CKI and CCP2/P2A, can be
relocated from their default pins to PORTB pins by
clearing the control fuses in CONFIG3H. Clearing
T3CMX and CCP2MX moves the pin functions to RB5
and RB3, respectively.
Note: If a change on the I/O pin should occur
when the read operation is being executed
(start of the Q2 cycle), then the RBIF
interrupt flag may not get set. Furthermore,
since a read or write on a port affects all
bits of that port, care must be taken when
using multiple pins in Interrupt-on-change
mode. Changes on one pin may not be
seen while servicing changes on another
pin.

10.4 PORTC Registers
PORTC is an 8-bit wide, bidirectional port. The
corresp onding data directi on regis ter is TRISC. Setting
a TRISC bit (= 1) will make the corresponding PORTC
pin an input (i.e., disable the output driver). Clearing a
TRISC bit (= 0) will make the corresponding PORTC
pin an outpu t (i.e., enabl e the output driver and 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 10-8). Th e pins ha ve Schm itt Trigg er input buf-
fers.
Some of these pin functions can be relocated to alter-
nate pins using the Control fuse bits in CONFIG3H.
RC0 is the default pin for T3CKI. Clearing the T3CMX
bit moves the pin function to RB5. RC1 is the defaul t pin
for the CCP2 peripheral pin. Clearing the CCP2MX bi t
moves the pin function to the RB3 pin.
Two other pin functions, P2B and CCP3, can be relo-
cated from their defau lt pins to PORTC pi ns by clearing
the control fuses in CONFIG3H. Clearing P2BMX and
CCP3MX moves the pin functions to RC0 and RC6(1)/
RE0(2), respectively.
When enabling peripheral functions, care should be
taken in defining TRIS bits for each PORTC pin. The
EUSART and MSSP peripherals override the TRIS bit
to make a pin an output or an input, depending on the
peripheral configuration. Refer to the corresponding
peripheral section for additional information.
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.
EXAMPLE 10-3: INITIALIZING PORTC
10.4.1 PORTC OUTPUT PRIORITY
Each PORTC pin is multiplexed with other functions.
The pins, their combined functions and their output
priorities are briefly described here. For additional
informat ion, refe r to the ap propria te sec tion in t his dat a
sheet.
When multiple outputs are enabled, the actual pin
control goes to the peripheral with the higher priority.
Table 10-4 lists the PORTC pin functions from the
highest to the lowest priority.
Analog input functions, such as ADC, comparator and
SR latch inputs, are not shown in the priority lists.
These inputs are active when the I/O pin is set for
Analog mode using the ANSELx registers. Digital
output functions may control th e pin when it is in Analog
mode with the priority shown below.

10.5 PORTD Registers
PORTD is an 8-bit wide, bidirectional port. The
corresp onding data directi on regis ter is TRISD. Setting
a TRISD bit (= 1) will make the corresponding PORTD
pin an input (i.e., disable the output driver). Clearing a
TRISD bit (= 0) will make the corresponding PORTD

contents of the output latch on the selected pin).
The Data Latch register (LATD) is also memory
mapped. Read-modify-write operations on the LATD
register read and write the latched output value for
PORTD.
All pins on PORTD are implemented with Schmitt
Trigger input buffers. Each pin is individually
configurable as an input or output.
All of the PORTD pins are mu ltip lexed with analog an d
digital peripheral modules. See Table 10-11.

PIC18(L)F2X/4XK22
10.6 PORTE Registers
Depending on the particular PIC18(L)F2X/4XK22
device selected, PORTE is implemented in two
different ways.
10.6.1 PORTE ON 40/44-PIN DEVICES
For PIC18(L)F2X/4XK22 devices, PORTE is a 4-bit
wide port. Three pins (RE0/P3A/CCP3/AN 5, RE1/P3B/
AN6 and RE2/CCP5 /AN7) are i ndividually configu rable
as inputs or outputs. These pins have Schmitt Trigger
input buffers. When sel ec ted a s an ana log input, these
pins will read as ‘0’s.
The corresponding data direction register is TRISE.
Setting a TRISE bit (= 1) will make the corresponding
PORTE pin an input (i.e., disable the output driver).
Clearing a TR ISE bit (= 0) will make the co rres ponding
PORT E pin an output (i .e., e nable th e output dri ver and
put the contents of the output latch on the selected pin).
TRISE controls the direction of the REx 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 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
Configuration bit. When selected as a port pin
(MCLRE = 0), it functions as a digital input only pin; as
such, it does not have TRIS or LA T bits associated with its
operation. Otherw ise, it functions as the device’s Master
Clear input. In either configuration, RE3 also functions as
the programming voltage input during programming.
EXAMPLE 10-5: INITIALIZING PORTE
10.6.2 PO RTE ON 28-PI N DEVICES
For PIC18F2XK22 devices, PORTE is only available
when Master Clear functionality is disabled
(MCLR = 0). In these cases, PORTE is a single bit,
input only port comprised of RE3 only . The pin operates
as previously described.
10.6.3 RE3 WEAK PULL-UP
The port RE3 pin has an individually controlled weak
internal pull-up. When set, the WPUE3 (TRISE<7>) bit
enables the RE3 pin pull-up. The RBPU bit of the
INTCON2 register controls pull-ups on both PORTB
and PORTE. When RBPU = 0, the weak pull-ups
become active on all pins which have the WPUE3 or
WPUBx bits set. When set, the RBPU bit disables all
weak pull-ups. The pull-ups are disabled on a Power-
on Reset. When the RE3 port pin is configured as
MCLR, (CONFIG3H<7>, MCLRE=1 and
CONFIG4L<2>, LVP=0), or configur ed fo r Low Voltag e
Programming, (MCLRE=x and LVP=1), the pull-up is
always enabled and the WPUE3 bit has no effect.
10.6.4 PORTE OUTPUT PRIORITY
Each PORTE pin is multiplexed with other functions.
The pins, their combined functions and their output
priorities are briefly described here. For additional
informat ion, refe r to the ap propria te sec tion in t his dat a
sheet.
When multiple outputs are enabled, the actual pin
control goes to the peripheral with the higher priority.
Table 10-4 lists the PORTE pin functions from the
highest to the lowest priority.
Anal og input funct ions, su ch as ADC , compara tor and
SR latch inputs , are not shown in the priority lists.
These inputs are active when the I/O pin is set for
Analog mode using the ANSELx registers. Digital
output functions may control th e pin when it is in Analog
mode with the priority shown below.
Note: On a Power-on Reset, RE<2:0> are
configured as analog inputs.
Note: On a Power-on Reset, RE3 is enabled as
a digital input only if Master Clear
functionality is disabled.

10.7 Port Analog Control
Most port pins are multiplexed with analog functions
such as the Analog-to-Digital Converter and
comparators. When these I/O pins are to be used as
analog in puts it is necess ary to disabl e the digit al inp ut
buffer to avoid excessive current caused by improper
biasing of the digital input. Individual control of the
digital input buffers on pins which share analog
functions is provided by the ANSELA, ANSELB,
ANSELC, ANSELD and ANSELE registers. Setting an
ANSx bit high will disable the associated digital input
buffer and cause all reads of that pin to return ‘0’ whi le
allowing analog functions of that pin to operate
correctly.
The state of the ANSx bits has no affect on digital
output functions. A pin with the associated TRISx bit
clear and ANSx bit set will still operate as a digital
output but the input mode will be analog. This can
cause unexpected behavior when performing read-
modify-write operations on the affected port.
All ANSEL register bits default to1’ upon POR and
BOR, disabling digital inputs for their associated port
pins. All TRIS register bits default to1’ upon POR or
BOR, disabling digital outputs for their associated port
pins. As a result, all port pins that have an ANSEL
register will default to analog inputs upon POR or BOR.
10.8 Port Slew Rate Control
The output slew rate of each port is program mable to
select either the standard transition rate or a reduced
transition rate of approximately 0.1 times the standard
to minimize EMI. The reduced transition time is the
default slew rate for all ports.

11.0 TIMER0 MODULE
The Timer0 module incorporates 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 (internal or e x ternal)
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 module in 8-bit
mode is shown in Figure 11-1. Figure 11-2 shows a
simplified block diagram of the Timer0 module in 16-bit
mode.

11.2 Timer0 Operation
Timer0 can operate as either a timer or a counter; the
mode is selected with the T0CS bit of the T0CON
register. In Timer mode (T0CS = 0), the module
increments on every clock by default unless a different
prescaler value is selected (see Section 11.4
“Prescaler”). Timer0 incrementing is inhibited for two
instruction cycles following a TMR0 register write. The
user can work around this by adjusting the value written
to the T MR0 reg is ter to co mpensate for the a nti ci p ate d
missi ng inc rem en t s.
The Counter mode is selected by setting the T0CS bit
(= 1). In this mode, Timer0 increments either on every
rising or fal ling edge of pi n RA4/T0CKI . The increme nt-
ing edge is determined by the Timer0 Source Edge
Select bit , T0SE of the T0CON regi ster; clearing th is 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 (see
Table 27-12) to ensure that the external clock can be
synchronized with the internal phase clock (TOSC).
There is a delay between synchronization and the
ons et of incrementing the timer/counter.
11.3 Timer0 Reads and Writes 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 neither 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 read of
TMR0L. This provides the ability to read all 16 bits of
Timer0 without the need to verify that the read of the
high and low byte were valid. Invalid reads could
otherwise occur 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. Writing
to TMR0H does not directly affect Timer0. Instead, the
high byte of Timer0 is updated with the contents of
TMR0H when a write occurs to TMR0L. This allow s all
16 bits of Timer0 to be updated at once.

11.4 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 T0PS<2:0> bits of the
T0CON register which determine the prescaler
assi gn me nt and presca le ratio.
Clearing the PSA bit assigns the prescaler to the
Timer0 module. When the prescaler is assigned,
prescale values from 1:2 through 1:256 in integer
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.
11.4 .1 SWITCHI NG PRESC ALER
ASSIGNMENT
The prescaler assignment is fully under software
control and can be changed “on-the-fly” during program
execution.
11.5 Ti me r 0 Interr up t
The TMR0 interrupt is generated when the TMR0 reg-
ister overflows from FFh to 00h in 8-bit mode, or from
FFFFh to 0000h in 16-bit mode. This overflow sets the
TMR0IF flag bit. The inte rrupt can be masked by cle ar-
ing the TMR0IE bit of the INTCON register. Before
re-enabling the interrupt, the TMR0IF bit must be
cleared by software in the Interrupt Service Routine.
Since Timer0 is shut down in Sleep mode, the TMR0
interrupt cannot awaken the processor from Sleep.

12.1 Timer1/3/5 Operation
The Timer1/3/5 module is a 16-bit incrementing
counter w hic h is acce ssed th rough th e TMR xH:TMRx L
register pair. Writes to TMRxH or TMRxL directly
update the counter.
When us ed with an interna l clock source, t he modul e is
a timer and increments on every instruction cycle.
When used with an external clock source, the module
can be used as either a timer or counter and
increments on every selected edge of the external
source.
Timer1/3/5 is enabled by config uri ng the TMRxON an d
TMRxGE bits in the TxCON and TxGCON registers,
respectively. Table 12-1 display s the T imer1/3/5 en able
selections.
12.2 Clock Source Selection
The TMRxCS<1:0> and TxSOSCEN bits of the TxCON
register are used to select the clock source for
Timer1/3/5. The dedicated Secondary Oscillator circuit
can be use d as the cloc k source for T imer1 , Timer3 and
Timer5, simultaneously. Any of the TxSOSCEN bits will
enable the Secondary Oscillator circuit and select it as
the clock source for that particular timer. Table 12-2
displays the cloc k source s elections.
12.2.1 INTERNAL CLOCK SOURCE
When the internal clock source is selected the
TMRxH:TMRxL register pair will increment on multiples
of FOSC as determined by the Timer1/3/5 prescaler.
When the FOSC internal clock source is selected, the
Timer1/3/5 register value will increment by four counts
every instruction clock cycle. Due to this condition, a
2 LSB error in resolution will occur when reading the
Timer1/3/5 value. To utilize the full resolution of
Timer1/3/5, an asynchronous input signal must be used
to gate the Timer1/3/5 clock input.
The following async hronous s ources m ay be use d:
Asynch ronous eve nt on the TxG pin to Timer1/3 /5
Gate
C1 or C2 comp arator input to Timer1/3/5 Gate
12.2.2 EXTERNAL CLOCK SOURCE
When the external clock source is selected, the
Timer1/3/5 module may work as a timer or a counter.
When enabled to count, Timer1/3/5 is incremented on
the rising edge of the external clock input of the TxCKI
pin. This external clock source can be synchronized to
the microcontroller system clock or it can run
asynchronously.
When used as a timer with a clock oscillator, an
external 32.768 kHz c rys t al can be use d in conjunction
with the d edi cated secondary i nte rnal osc il lator circuit.

12.3 Timer1/3/5 Prescaler
T ime r1/3/5 has four prescaler options allowing 1, 2, 4 or
8 divisions of the clock input. The TxCKPS bits of the
TxCON register control the prescale counter. The
prescale counter is not directly readable or writable;
however , the prescaler counter is cleared upon a write to
TMRxH or TMRxL .
12.4 Secondary Oscillator
A dedicated secondary low-power 32.768 kHz
oscillator circuit is built-in between pins SOSCI (input)
and SOSCO (amplifier ou tput). This internal circ uit is to
be used in conjunction with an external 32.768 kHz
crystal.
The oscillator circuit is enabled by setting the
TxSOSCEN bit of the TxCON register , the SOSCGO bit
of the OSCCON2 register or by selecting the
secondary oscillator as the system clock by setting
SCS<1:0> = 01 in the OSC CON register . Th e oscillator
will continue to run during Sleep.
12.5 Timer1/3/5 Operation in
Asynchronous Counter Mode
If control bit TxSYNC of the TxCON register is set, the
external clock input is not synchronized. The timer
increments asynchronously to the internal phase
clocks. If external clock source is selected then the
timer will continue to run during Sleep and can
generate an interrupt on overflow, which will wake-up
the processor. However, special precautions in
software are needed to read/write the timer (see
Section 12.5.1 “Reading and Wri ting Timer 1/3/5 in
Asynchronous Counter Mode”).
12.5.1 RE ADIN G AND WRITING
TIMER1/3/5 IN ASYNCHRONOUS
COUNTER MODE
Reading TMRxH or TMRxL while the timer is running
from an e xternal asyn chronous cl ock will ens ure a valid
read (taken care of in hardware). However, the user
should keep i n mind that rea ding t he 16-bi t time r in tw o
8-bit values itself, poses certain problems, since the
tim er m ay ov er f l ow be t wee n th e r ea d s. F or wr i t es , i t is
recommended that the user simply stop the timer and
write the desired values. A write contention may occur
by writing to the timer registers, while the register is
incrementing. This may produce an unpredictable
value in the TMRxH:TMRxL register pair.
12.6 Timer1/3/5 16-Bit Read/Write Mode
Timer1/3/5 c an be configured to read and write all 16
bits of data, to and from, the 8-bit TMRxL and TMRxH
registers, simultaneously. The 16-bit read and write
operations are enabled by setting the RD16 bit of the
TxCON register.
To accomplish this function, the TM RxH register value
is ma pped to a buffer register called the TMRxH buffer
register. While in 16-Bit mode, the TMRxH register is
not directly readable or writable and all read and write
operations take place through the use of this TMRxH
buffer register.
When a read fro m the TMRxL register is request ed, the
value of the TMRxH register is simultaneously loaded
into the TMRxH buffer register. When a read from the
TMRxH register is requested, the value is provided
from the TMRxH buffer register instead. This provides
the user with the ability to accurately read all 16 bits of
the Timer1/3/5 value from a single instance in time.
In contrast, when not in 16-Bit mode, the user must
read each register separately and determine if the
values have become invalid due to a rollover that may
have occurred between the read operations.
When a write request of the TMRxL register is
requeste d, the TMR xH buffer r egister is s imultan eously
updated with the contents of the TMRxH register. The
value of TMRxH must be preloaded into the TMRxH
buffer register prior to the write request for the TMRxL
register. This provides the user with the ability to write
all 16 bits to the TMRxL:TMRxH register pair at the
same time.
Any requests to write to the TMRxH directly does not
clear the Timer1/3/5 prescaler value. The prescaler
value is only cleared through write requests to the
TMRxL register.
Note: The oscillator requires a start-up and
stabilization time before use. Thus,
TxSOSCEN should be set and a suitable
delay observed prior to enabling
Timer1/3/5.
Note: When switching from synchronous to
asynchronous operation, it is possible to
skip an increment. When switching from
asynchronous to synchronous operation,
it is possible to produce an additional
increment.

12.7 Timer1/3/5 Gate
Timer1/3/5 can be configured to count freely or the
count can be enabled and disabled using Timer1/3/5
Gate circuitry. This is also referred to as Timer1/3/5
Gate Enable.
Timer1/3/5 Gate can also be driven by multiple
selectable sources.
12.7.1 TIMER1/3/5 GATE ENABLE
The Timer1/3/5 Gate Enable mode is enabled by
setting the TMRxGE bit of the TxGCON register. The
polarity of the Timer1/3/5 Gate Enable mode is
configured using the TxGPOL bit of the TxGCON
register.
When Timer1/3/5 Gate Enable mode is enabled,
Timer1/3/5 will increment on the rising edge of the
Timer1/3/5 clock source. When Timer1/3/5 Gate
Enable mode is disabled, no incrementing will occur
and Timer1/3/5 will hold the current count. See
Figure 12-4 for timing details.
12.7.2 TIMER1/3/5 GATE SOURCE
SELECTION
The Timer1/3 / 5 Gat e so urc e ca n be se le ct ed f r om one
of four different sources. Source selection is controlled
by the TxGSS bit s of the T xGCON regis ter . The p olarity
for each available source is also selectable. Polarity
selection is controlled by the TxGPOL bit of the
TxGCON register.
The Gate resource, Timer2 Match to PR2, changes
between Timer2, Timer4 and Timer6 depending on
which of the three 16-bit Timers, Timer1, Timer3 or
T imer 5, is sele cted. See Table 12-5 to determi ne whic h
Timer2/4/6 Match to PR2/4/6 combination is available
for the 16-bit timer being used.
12.7.2.1 TxG Pin Gate Operation
The TxG pin is one sou rce for T im er1/3/5 G ate Co ntrol.
It can be used to supply an external source to the
Timer1/3/5 Gate circuitry.
12.7.2.2 Timer2/4/6 Match Gate Operation
The TMR2/4/6 register will increment until it matches
the value in the PR2/4/6 register. On the very next
incr ement cycle, TMR2/ 4/6 w ill be r eset to 00h. When
this Rese t occurs, a low-to-h igh pulse wil l automaticall y
be generated and internally supplied to the Timer1/3/5
Gate circuitry. See Section 12.7.2 “Timer1/3/5 Gate
Source Selection” for more information.

12.7.2.3 Comparator C1 Gate Operation
The output resulting from a Comp arator 1 operation can
be selected as a source for Timer1/3/5 Gate Control.
The Comparator 1 output (sync_C1OUT) can be
synchronized to the Timer1/3/5 clock or left
asynchronous. For more information see Section 18.8.4
“Synchronizing Comp arator Output to Timer1”.
12.7.2.4 Comparator C2 Gate Operation
The output resulting from a Comparator 2 operation
can be selected as a source for Timer1/3/5 Gate
Control. The Comparator 2 output (sync_C2OUT) can
be synchronized to the Timer1/3/5 clock or left
asynchronous. For more information see
Section 18.8.4 “Synchronizing Comparator Output
to Timer1”.
12.7.3 TIMER1/3/5 GATE TOGGLE MODE
When Timer1/3/5 Gate Toggle mode is enabled, it is
possible to measure the full-cycle length of a
T i mer1/3 /5 gate sig nal, as op posed to the duratio n of a
single level pulse.
The Timer1/3/5 Gate source is routed through a
flip-flop that change s state on every inc rementin g edge
of the signal. See Figure 12-5 for timing details.
T ime r1/3/5 Gate Toggle mode is enabled by settin g the
TxGTM bit of the TxGCON register. When the TxGTM
bit is c leared, the fl ip-flop is c leared and held c lear . Thi s
is necessary in order to control which edge is
measured.
12.7.4 TIMER1/3/5 GATE SINGLE-PULSE
MODE
When Timer1/3/5 Gate Single-Pulse mode is enabled,
it is possible to capture a single-pulse gate event.
Timer1/3/5 Gate Single-Pulse mode is first enabled by
setting the TxGSPM bit in the TxGCON register. Next,
the TxGGO/DONE bit in the TxGCON regi ste r m us t b e
set. The Timer1/3/5 will be fully enabled on the next
incrementing edge. On the next trailing edge of the
pulse, the TxGGO/DONE bit will automatically be
cleared. No other gate events will be allowed to
increment Timer1/3/5 until the TxGGO/DONE bit is
once again set in software.
Clearing the TxGSPM bit of the TxGCON register will
also clear the TxGGO/DONE bit. See Figure 12-6 for
timing details.
Enabling the Toggle mode and the Single-Pulse mode
simultaneously will permit both sections to work
toget her. This allows the cy cl e tim es on the Timer1/3/5
Gate source to be measured. See Figure 12-7 for
timing details.
12.7.5 TIMER1/3/5 GATE VALUE STATUS
When Timer1/3/5 Gate Value Status is utilized, it is
possible to read the most current level of the gate
control value. The value is stored in the TxGVAL bit in
the TxGCON register. The TxGVAL bit is valid even
when the Timer1/3/5 G ate is not enab led (TMRx GE bit
is cl eare d).
12.7.6 TIMER1/3/5 GATE EVENT
INTERRUPT
When Timer1/3/5 Gate Event Interrupt is enabled, it is
possible to generate an interrupt upon the completion
of a gate event. When the falling edge of TxGVAL
occurs, the TMRxGIF flag bit in the PIR3 register will be
set. If the TMRxGIE bit in the PIE3 register is set, then
an interrupt will be recognized.
The TMRxGIF flag bit operates even when the
Timer1/3/5 Gate is not enabled (TMRxGE bit is
cleared).
For more information on selecting high or low priority
status for the Timer1/3/5 Gate Event Interrupt see
Section 9.0 “Interrupts”.
Note: Enabling Toggle mode at the same time
as chan ging the gate po larity may res ult in
indeterm in ate ope rati on.

12.8 Timer1/3/5 Interrupt
The Timer1/3/5 register pair (TMRxH:TMRxL)
increments to FFFFh and rolls over to 0000h. When
T imer1/3 /5 rolls ove r , the T imer1 /3/5 interrupt fla g bit of
the PIR1/2/5 register is set. To enable the interrupt on
rollover, you must set these bits:
TMRxON bit of the TxCON register
TMRxIE bits of the PIE1, PIE2 or PIE5 registers
PEIE/GIEL bit of the INTCON register
GIE/GIEH bit of the INTCON register
The interrupt is cleared by clearing the TMRxIF bit in
the Interrupt Service Routine.
For more information on selecting high or low priority
status for the Timer1/3/5 Overflow Interrupt, see
Section 9.0 “Interrupts”.
12.9 Timer1/3/5 Operation During Sleep
Timer1/3/5 can only operate during Sleep when set up
in Asynchronous Counter mode. In this mode, an
external crystal or clock source can be used to
increment the counter. To set up the timer to wake the
device:
TMRxON bit of the TxCON regi ster must be set
TMRxIE bit of the PIE1/2/5 register must be set
PEIE/GI EL bi t of the INTCON registe r mu st b e s et
TxSYNC bit of the TxCON register must be set
TMRxCS bits of the TxCON register must be
configured
TxSOSCEN bit of the TxCON register must be
configured
The device will wake-up on an overflow and execute
the next i ns truc tio n. If the GIE/GIEH b it of the IN T CON
register is set, the device will call the Interrupt Service
Routine.
The secondary oscillator will continue to operate in
Sleep regardless of the TxSYNC bit setting.
12.10 ECCP/CCP Capture/Compare Time
Base
The CCP m odules use th e TMRxH:TMR xL register p air
as the time base when operating in Capture or
Compare mode.
In Capture mode, the value in the TMRxH:TMRxL
register pair is copied into the CCPRxH:CCPRxL
register pair on a configured event.
In Compare mo de, an event is triggered wh en the value
CCPRxH:CCPRxL register pair matches the value in
the TMRxH:TMRxL register pair. This event can be a
Special Event Trigger.
For more information, see Section 14.0
“Capture/Compare/PWM Modules”.
12.11 ECCP/CCP Special Event Trigger
When any of the CCP’s are configured to trigger a
special event, the trigger will clear the TMRxH:TMRxL
register pair. This special event does not cause a
Timer1/3/5 interrupt. The CCP module may still be
configured to generate a CCP interrupt.
In this mode of operation, the CCPRxH:CCPRxL
register pair becomes the period register for
Timer1/3/5.
T i mer1/3/ 5 shoul d be sync hroni zed and FOSC/4 shoul d
be selected as the clock source in order to utilize the
Special Event Trigger. Asynchronous operation of
Timer1/3/5 can cause a Special Event Trigger to be
missed.
In the ev ent that a writ e to TMRxH or TMRx L coinci des
with a Special Event T rigger from the CCP, the write will
take precedence.
For more information, see Section 17.2.8 “Special
Event Trigger”.
Note: The TMRxH:TMRxL register pair and the
TMRxIF bit should be cleared before
enabling interrupts.

13.0 TIMER2/4/6 MODULE
There are three identical 8-bit Timer2-type modules
available. To maintain pre-existing naming conventions,
the Timers are called Timer2, Timer4 and Timer6 (also
Timer2/4/6).
The Timer2/4/6 module incorporates the following
features:
8-bit Timer and Period registers (TMRx and PRx,
respectively)
Readable and writable (both registers)
Software programmable prescaler (1:1, 1:4, 1:16)
Software programmable postscaler (1:1 to 1:16)
Interrupt on TMRx match with PRx, respectively
Optional use as the shift clock for the MSSPx
modules (Timer2 only)
See Figure 13-1 for a block diagram of Timer2/4/6.
FIGURE 13-1: TIMER2/4/6 BLOCK DIAGRAM
Note: The ‘x’ variable used in this section is
used to designate Timer2, Timer4, or
Timer6. For example, TxCON references
T2CON, T4CON, or T6CON. PRx refer-
ences PR2, PR4, or PR6.

13.1 Timer2/4/6 Operation
The cloc k input to the T i mer2/4 /6 modul e is the sys tem
instr uction cloc k (FOSC/4).
TMRx increments from 00h on each clock edge.
A 4-bit counter/prescale r on the clock input al lows direct
input, divide-by-4 and divide-by-16 prescale options.
These options are selected by the prescaler control bits,
TxCKPS<1:0> of the TxCON register. The value of
TMRx is comp ared to that of the Period regis ter , PRx, on
each clock cycle. When the two values match, the
comparator generates a match signal as the timer
output. This signa l als o rese t s the valu e of TMRx to 00h
on the next cycle and drives the output
counter/postscaler (see Section 13.2 “Timer2/4/6
Interrupt”).
The TMR x and PRx regi sters are b oth directly readable
and writable. The TMRx register is cleared on any
device Reset, whereas the PRx register initializes to
FFh. Both the prescaler and postscaler counters are
cleared on the following events:
a write to the TMRx register
a write to the TxCON register
Power-on Reset (PO R)
Brown-out Reset (BOR)
•MCLR
Reset
Watchdog Ti mer (WDT) Reset
Stack O v erflow R eset

13.2 Timer2/4/6 Interrupt
Timer2/4/6 can also generate an optional device
interrupt. The Timer2/4/6 output signal (TMRx-to-PRx
match) provides the input for the 4-bit
counter/postscaler. This counter generates the TMRx
match interrupt flag which is latched in TMRxIF of the
PIR1/PIR5 registers. The interrupt is enabled by setting
the TMRx Match Interrupt Enable bit, TMRxIE of the
PIE1/PIE5 registers. Interrupt Priority is selected with
the TMRxIP bit in the IPR1/IPR5 registers.
A rang e o f 16 po stscale optio ns (from 1 :1 through 1:16
inclusive) can be selected with the postscaler control
bits, TxOUTPS<3:0>, of the TxCON register.
13.3 Timer2/4/6 Output
The unscaled output of TMRx is available primarily to
the CCP modules, where it is used as a time base for
operations in PWM mode. The timer to be used with a
specific CCP module is selected using the
CxTSEL<1:0> bits in the CCPTMRS0 and CCPTMRS1
registers.
T i mer2 ca n be op tiona lly us ed as th e shif t cl ock so urce
for the MSSPx modules operating in SPI mode by
setting SSPM<3 :0> = 0011 in the SSPxCON1 regi ster .
Additional information is provided in Section 15.0
“Master Synchronous Serial Port (MSSP1 and
MSSP2) Module”.
13.4 Timer2/4/6 Operation During Sleep
The Timer2/4/6 timers cannot be operated while the
proce ssor i s in Sleep mo de. The contents of th e TM Rx
and PRx registers will remain unchanged while the
proce ssor is in Slee p mod e.
13.5 Peripheral Module Disable
When a peripheral module is not used or inactive, the
module can be disabled by setting the Module Disable
bit in the PMD registers. This will reduce power con-
sumption to an absolute minimum. Setting the PMD
bits holds the module in Reset and disconnects the
module’s clock source. The Module Disable bits for
Timer2 (TMR2MD), Timer4 (TMR4MD) and Timer6
(TMR6MD ) are in the PMD0 Register. See Section 3.0
“Power-M ana ged Modes” for more information.
Note: TMRx is not cleared when TxCON is
written.

14.0 CAPTURE/COMPARE/PWM
MODULES
The Capture/Compare/PWM module is a peripheral
which allows the user to time and control different
events, and to generate Pulse-Width Modulation
(PWM) signa ls. In Capture mo de, the periphera l allows
the timing of the duration of an event. The Compare
mode a llows t he us er to tri gger a n exte rnal even t whe n
a predetermined amount of time has expired. The
PWM mode can generate Pulse-Width Modulated
signals of varying frequency and duty cycle.
This family of devices contains three Enhanced
Capture/Compare/PWM modules (ECCP1, ECCP2,
and ECCP3) and two standard Capture/Compare/PWM
modules (CCP4 and CCP5).
The Capture and Compare functions are identical f or all
CCP/ECCP modules. The difference between CCP
and ECCP modules are in the Pulse-Width Modulation
(PWM) function. In CCP modules, the standard PWM
function is identical. In ECCP modules, the Enhanced
PWM function has either full-bridge or half-bridge PWM
output. Full-bridge ECCP modules have four available
I/O pins while half-bridge ECCP mo dules only h ave two
available I/O pins. ECCP PWM modules are backward
compatible with CCP PWM modules and can be
configu red as st a ndard PWM m odules . See Table 14-1
to determine the CCP/ECCP functionality available on
each device in this family.
Note 1: In devices with more than one CCP
module, it is very important to pay close
attention to the register names used. A
number pl aced af ter the module acronym
is used to distinguish between separate
modules. For example, the CCP1CON
and CCP2CON control the same
operational aspects of two completely
different CCP modules.
2: Throughout this section, generic
references to a CCP module in any of its
operating modes may be interpreted as
being equally applicable to ECCP1,
ECCP2, ECCP3, CCP4 and CCP5.
Register names, module si gnals, I/O pins,
and bit names may use the generic
designator ‘x’ to indicate the use of a
numeral to distinguish a particular module,
when required.

14.1 Capture Mode
The Captu re mo de function described in this sect ion is
identical for all CCP and ECCP modules available on
this device family.
Capture mode makes use of the 16-bit Timer
resources, Timer1, Timer3 and Timer5. The timer
resources for each CCP capture function are
independent and are selected using the CCPTMRS0
and CCPTMRS1 registers. When an event occurs on
the CCPx pin, the 16-bit CCPRxH:CCPRxL register
pair captures and stores the 16-bit value of the
TMRxH:TMRxL register pair, respectively. An event is
defined as one o f the followi ng and is c onfigured b y the
CCPxM<3:0> bits of the CCPxCON register:
Every falling edge
Every rising edge
Every 4th rising edge
Every 16th rising edge
When a capture is made, the corresponding Interrupt
Request Flag bit CCPxIF of the PIR1, PIR2 or PIR4
register is set. The interrupt flag must be cleared in
software. If another capture occurs before the value in
the CCPRxH:CCPRxL register pair is read, the old
captured value is overwritten by the new captured
value.
Figure 14-1 shows a simplified diagram of the Capture
operation.
FIGURE 14-1: CAPTURE MODE
OPERATION BLOCK
DIAGRAM
14.1.1 CCP PIN CONFIGURATION
In Capture mode, the CCPx pin should be configured
as an input by setting the associated TRIS control bit.
Some CCPx outputs are multiplexed on a couple of
pins. Table 14-2 shows the CCP output pin
multiplexing. Selection of the output pin is determined
by the CCPxMX bits in Configuration register 3H
(CONFIG3H). Refer to Register 24-4 for more details.
14.1.2 TIMER1 MODE RESOURCE
The 16-bit Timer resource must be running in Timer
mode or Synchronized Counter mode for the CCP
module to use the capture feature. In Asynchronous
Counter mode, the capture operation m ay not work.
See Section 12.0 “Timer1/3/5 Module with Gate
Control” for more information on configuring the 16-bit
Timers.
14.1.3 SOFTWARE INTERRUPT MODE
When the Capture mode is changed, a false capture
interrupt may be generated. The user should keep the
CCPxIE interrupt enable bit of the PIE1, PIE2 or PIE4
register clear to avoid false interrupts. Additionally, the
user should clear the CCPxIF interrupt flag bit of the
PIR1, PIR2 or PIR4 register following any change in
Operating mode.
Note: If the CCPx p in is c onfigured as an o utput,
a write to the port can cause a capture
condition.

Note: Clocking the 16-bit Timer resource from
the system clock (FOSC) should not be

Capture mode to recognize the trigger
event on the CCPx pin, the T imer resource
must be clocked from the instruction clock
(FOSC/4 ) or fro m an ext ernal clo ck sour ce .

14.1.4 CCP PRESCALER
There are four prescaler settings specified by the
CCPxM< 3:0> bits of the C CPxCON regis ter . When ever
the C CP module is tu rned of f, o r the C CP mo dule is not
in Captu re mode, the presca ler coun ter is clea red. Any
Reset will clear the prescaler counter.
Switching from one capture prescaler to another does
not clear the prescaler and may generate a false
interrupt. To avoid this unexpected operation, turn the
module off by clearing the CCPxCON register before
changing the prescaler. Example 14-1 demonstrates
the code to perform this function.

14.1.5 CAPTURE DURING SLEEP
Capture mode r equires a 16-bi t Time rX modul e fo r use
as a time base. There are four options for driving the
16-bit TimerX module in Capture mode. It can be driven
by the sy stem clock (FOSC), the instruction clock (FOSC/
4), or by the external clock sources, the Secondary
Oscillator (SOSC), or the TxCKI clock input. When the
16-bit TimerX resource is clocked by FOSC or FOSC/4,
TimerX will not increment during Sleep. When the
device wakes from Sle ep, TimerX will co ntinue from it s
previ ous state. Capture m ode will operate durin g Sleep
when the 16-bit TimerX resource is clocked by one of
the external clock sources (SOSC or the TxCKI pin).

14.2 Compare Mode
The Compare mode function described in this section
is identi cal for all CCP and ECC P modules ava ilable on
this device family.
Compare mode makes use of the 16-bit TimerX
resources, Timer1, Timer3 and Timer5. The 16-bit
value of the CCPRxH:CCPRxL register pair is
constantly compared against the 16-bit value of the
TMRxH:TMRxL register pair. When a match occurs,
one of the following events can occur:
Toggle the CCPx ou tput
Set the CCPx output
Clear the CCPx output
Generate a Special Event Trigger
Generate a Software Interrupt
The action on the pin is based on the value of the
CCPxM<3:0> control bits of the CCPxCON register. At
the same ti me, the interrupt flag CCPxIF bit is set.
All Compare modes can generate an interrupt.
Figure 14-2 shows a simplified diagram of the
Compare operation.

14.2.1 CCP PIN CONFIGURATION
The user must configure the CCPx pin as an output by
clearing the associated TRIS bit.
Some CCPx outputs are multiplexed on a couple of
pins. Table 14-2 shows the CCP output pin
Multiplexing. Selection of the output pin is determined

running in eith er Timer mode or Synchronized Counter
mode. The compare operation may not work in
Asynchronous Counter mode.
See Section 12.0 “Timer1/3/5 Module with Gate
Control” for more information on configuring the 16-bit
TimerX resources.
14.2.3 SOFTWARE INTERRUPT MODE
When Generate Software Interrupt mode is chosen
(CCPxM<3:0> = 1010), the CCPx module does not
assert control of the CCPx pin (see the CCPxCON
register).

Note: Clocking TimerX from the system clock
(FOSC) should not be used in Compare
mode. In order for Compare mode to
recognize the trigger event on the CCPx
pin, TimerX must be clocked from the
instruction clock (FOSC/4) or from an
external clock source.

14.2.4 SPECIAL EVENT TRIGGER
When Special Event Trigger mode is selected
(CCPxM<3:0> = 1011), and a match of the
TMRxH:TMRxL and the CCPRxH:CCPRxL registers
occurs, all CCPx and ECCPx modules will immediately:
Set the CCP interrupt flag bit – CCPxIF
CCP5 will start an ADC conversion, if the ADC is
enabled
On the next TimerX rising clock edge:
A Reset of Ti merX register pair occurs –
TMRxH: TMR xL = 0x00 00,
This Special Event Trigger mode does not:
Assert control over the CCPx or ECCPx pins.
Set the TMRxIF interrupt bit when the
TMRxH:TMRxL register pair is reset. (TMRxIF
gets set on a TimerX overflow.)
If the value of the CCPRxH:CCPRxL registers are
modified when a match occurs, the user should be
aware that the automatic reset of TimerX occurs on the
next rising edge of the clock. Therefore, modifying the
CCPRxH:CCPRxL registers before this reset occurs
will allow the TimerX to continue without being reset,
inadvertently resulting in the next event being
adva nc ed or dela ye d.
The Special Event Trigger mode allows the
CCPRxH:CCPRxL register pair to effectively provide a
16-bit programmable period register for TimerX.
14.2.5 COMPARE DURING SLEEP
The Compare mode is dependent upon the system
clock (FOSC) for proper operation. Since FOSC is shut
down during Sleep mode, the Compare mode will not
function properly during Sleep.

14.3 PWM Overview
Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) is a scheme that
provid es p owe r to a l oad b y sw i tchin g q ui ckl y bet ween
fully on and fully off states. The PWM signal resembles
a square wave where the high portion of the signal is
considered the on state and the low portion of the signal
is considered the off state. The high portion, also known
as the pulse width, can vary in time and is defined in
steps. A larger number of steps applied, which
lengthens the pulse width, also supplies more power to
the loa d. L oweri ng t he nu mber of steps a ppli ed, wh ich
shortens the pulse width, supplies less power. The
PWM period is defined as the duration of one complete
cycle o r the total amount of on and off time combined.
PWM resolution defines the maximum number of steps
that c an be present in a single PWM period. A higher
resolu tion all ows for more preci se control of th e pulse
width time and in turn the power that is applied to the
load.
The ter m dut y cycle d escri bes t he propo rti on of th e on
time to the off time and is expressed in percentages,
where 0% is fully off and 100% is fully on. A lower duty
cycle corresponds to less power applied and a higher
duty cycle corresponds to more power applied.
Figure 14-3 shows a typical waveform of the PWM
signal.
14.3.1 STANDARD PWM OPERATION
The standard PWM func tio n des crib ed in th is sec tion is
available and identical for CCP and ECCP modules.
The standard PWM mode generates a Pulse-Width
modulation (PWM) signal on the CCPx pin with up to 10
bits of resolution. The period, duty cycle, and resolution
are controlled by the followi ng registers:
•PRx registers
•TxCON registers
CCPRxL registers
CCPxCON registers
Figure 14-4 shows a simplified block diagram of PWM
operation.
FIGURE 14-3: CCP PWM OUTPUT SIGNAL
FIGURE 14-4: SIMPLIFIED PWM BLOCK
DIAGRAM
14.3.2 SETUP FOR PWM OPERATION
The following steps should be taken when configuring
the CCP module for standard PWM operation:
1. Disable the CCPx pin output driver by setting the
associated TRIS bit.
2. Select the 8-bit TimerX resource, (Timer2,
Timer4 or Timer6) to be used for PWM genera-
tion by setting the CxTSEL<1:0> bits in the
CCPTMRSx register .(1)
3. Load the PRx register for the selected TimerX
with the PWM period value.
4. Configure the CCP module for the PWM mode
by loading the CCPxCON register with the
appropriate values.
5. Load the CCPRxL register and the DCxB<1:0>
bits of the CCPxCON register, with the PWM
duty cycle value.
Note 1: The corresponding TRIS bit must be
cleared to enable the PWM output on the
CCP x pi n.
2: Clearing the CCPxCON register will
relinquish control of the CCPx pin.

6. Configure and start the 8-bit TimerX resource:
Clear the TMRxIF interrupt flag bit of the
PIR2 or PIR4 register. See Note 1 bel ow.
Configure the TxCKPS bits of the TxCON
register with the Timer prescale value.
Enable the Timer by setting the TMRxON
bit of the TxCO N register.
7. Enable PWM output pin:
Wait until the Timer overflows and the
TMRxIF bit of the PIR2 or PIR4 register is
set. See Note 1 below.
Enable the CCPx pin output driver by
clearing the associated TRIS bit.
14.3.3 PW M TIMER RESOURCE
The PW M st andard mode makes use of one of the 8-bit
Timer2/4/6 timer resour ces to specify the PWM period.
Configuring the CxTSEL<1:0> bits in the CCPTMRS0
or CCP TMRS 1 re gi ste r s ele cts wh ic h Timer2/4 /6 t im er
is used.
14.3.4 PW M PE RIOD
The PWM period is specified by the PRx regis ter of 8-bit
TimerX. The PWM period can be calculated using the
formula of Equation 14-1.
EQUATION 14-1: PWM PERIOD
When TMRx is equ al to PRx, the followi ng three event s
occur on t he next inc rement cy cle:
TMRx is cleared
The CCPx pin is set. (Exception: If the PWM duty
cycle = 0%, the pin will not be set.)
The PWM dut y cycle is l atched from CCPRxL into
CCPRxH.
14.3.5 PWM DUTY CYCLE
The PWM duty cycle is specified by writing a 10-bit
value to multiple registers: CCPRxL register and
DCxB<1:0> bits of the CCPxCON register. The
CCPRxL contains the eight MSbs and the DCxB<1:0>
bits of the CCPxCON register contain the two LSbs.
CCPRxL and DCxB<1:0> bits of the CCPxCON
register can be written to at any time. The duty cycle
value is not latched into CCPRxH until after the period
completes (i.e., a match between PRx and TMRx
registers occurs). While using the PWM, the CCPRxH
register is read-on ly.
Equation 14-2 is used to calculate the PWM pulse
width.
Equation 14-3 is used t o calculate the PW M d uty cy cl e
ratio.
EQUATION 14-2: PULSE WIDTH
EQUATION 14-3: DUTY CYCLE RATIO
The CCPRxH register and a 2-bit internal latch are
used to dou ble buf fer th e PWM duty cycle. Thi s doubl e
buffering is essential for gl itchless PWM operation.
The 8-bit timer TMRx register is concatenated with either
the 2-bit internal system clock (FOSC), or two bits of the
prescaler, to create the 10-bit time base. The system
clock is used if the TimerX prescaler is set to 1:1.
When the 10-bit time base matches the CCPRxH and
2-bit latch, then the CCPx pin is cleared (see
Figure 14-4).
Note 1: In order to send a complete duty cycle
and period on the first PWM output, the
above steps must be included in the
setup sequence. If it is not critical to start
with a complete PWM signal on the first
output, then step 6 may be ignored.
Note: The Timer postscaler (see Section 13.0
“Timer2/4/6 Module”) is not used in the
determination of the PWM frequency.

The maximum PWM resolution is ten bits when PRx is
255. The resolution is a function of the PRx register
value as shown by Equation 14-4.
EQUATION 14-4: PWM RESOLUTION
14.3.7 OPERATION IN SLEEP MODE
In Sleep mode, the TMRx register will not increment
and the state of the mo dule will no t change . If the C CPx
pin is dri ving a value , it wi ll cont inue to d rive th at valu e.
When the devic e wakes up, TMRx will conti nue from it s
previous state.
14.3.8 CHANGES IN SYSTEM CLOCK
FREQUENCY
The PWM frequency is derived from the system clock
frequency. Any changes in the system clock frequency
will result in changes to the PWM frequency. See
Section 2.0 “Oscillator Module (With Fail-Safe
Clock Monitor)” for addi tional d etails.
14.3.9 EFFECTS OF RESET
Any Reset will force all ports to Input mode and the
CCP registers to their Reset states.
Note: If the pu ls e width value is gre ate r th an the

remain unchanged.

14.4 PWM (Enhanced Mode)
The enhanced PWM function described in this section is
available for CCP modules ECCP1, ECCP2 and
ECCP3, with any dif ferences between modules noted.
The enhanced PWM mode generates a Pulse-Width
Modulation (PWM) signal on up to four different output
pins with up to ten bits of resolution. The period, duty
cycle, and resolution are controlled by the following
registers:
•PRx registers
•TxCON registers
CCPRxL registers
CCPxCON registers
The ECCP modules have the following additional PWM
registers which control Auto-shutdown, Auto-restart,
Dead-band Delay and PWM Steering modes :
ECCPxAS registers
PSTRxCON registers
PWMxCON registers
The enhanced PWM module ca n generate the following
five PWM Output modes:
Single PWM
Half-Bridge PWM
Full-Bridge PWM, Fo rward mode
Full-Bridge PWM, Reverse mode
Single PWM with PWM Steering mode
To select an Enhanced PWM Output mode, the
PxM<1:0> bits of the CCPxCON register must be
configured appropriately.
The PWM outputs are multiplexed with I/O pins and are
designated PxA, PxB, PxC and PxD. The polarity of the
PWM pins is configurable and is selected by setting the
CCPxM bits in the CCPxCON register appropriately.
Figure 14-5 shows an example of a simplified block
diagram of the Enhanced PWM module .
Table 14-12 shows the pin assignments for various
Enhanced PWM modes.
FIGURE 14-5: EXAMPLE SIMPLIFIED BLOCK DIAGRAM OF THE ENHANCED PWM MODE
Note 1: The corresponding TRIS bit must be
cleared to enable the PWM output on the
CCPx pin.
2: Clearing the CCPxCON register will
relinquish control of the CCPx pin.
3: Any pin not used in the enhanced PWM
mode is available for alternate pin
functions, if applicable.
4: To prevent the generation of an
incomplete waveform when the PWM is
first enabled, the ECCP module waits
until the start of a new PWM period
before generating a PWM signal.

14.4.1 HALF-BRIDGE MODE
In Half-Bridge mode, two pins are used as outputs to
drive push-p ull loa ds. The PW M outp ut sign al is output
on the CCPx/PxA pin, while the complementary PWM
output signal is output on the PxB pin (see Figure 14-9).
This mod e can be us ed for ha lf-bridge applica tions, as
shown in Figure 14-9, or for full-bridge applications,
where four power switches are being modulated with
two PWM signals.
In Half-Bridge mode, the programmable dead-band delay
can be used to prevent shoot-through current in half-
bridge power devices. The value of the PDC<6:0> bits of
the PWMxCON register sets the number of instruction
cycles before the output is driven active. If the value is
greater than the duty cycle, the corresponding output
remains inactive during the entire cycle. See
Section 14.4.5 “Programmable Dead-Band Delay
Mode” for more details of the dead-band delay
operations.
Since the Px A and PxB out puts are multiplexed wi th the
PORT data latches, the associated TRIS bits must be
cleared to configure PxA and PxB as outputs.

14.4.2 FULL-BRIDGE MODE
In Full-Bridge mode, all four pins are used as outputs.
An example of full-bridge application is shown in
Figure 14-10.
In the Forward mode, pin CCPx/PxA is dri ven to its active
state, p in PxD i s modula ted, while P xB and PxC will b e
driven to their inactive state as shown in Figure 14-11.
In the Reverse mode, PxC is driven to its active state, pin
PxB is modulated, while PxA and PxD will be driven to
their inactive state as shown Figure 14-11.
PxA, PxB, PxC and PxD outputs are multiplexed with
the POR T dat a latc hes. The a ssoc iated T RIS bit s mus t
be cleared to configure the PxA, PxB, PxC and PxD
pins as outputs.

14.4.2.1 Direction Change in Full-Bridge
Mode
In the Full-Bridge mode, the PxM1 bit in the CCPxCON
register allows users to control the forward/reverse
direction. When the application firmware changes this
direction co ntrol bit, the modu le will change to the new
direction on the next PWM cycle.
A direction change is initiated in software by changing
the PxM1 bit of the CCPxCON register. The following
sequence occurs four Timer cycles prior to the end of
the current PWM period:
The modulated outputs (PxB and PxD) are placed
in their inactive state.
The associated unmodulated outputs (PxA and
PxC) are switched to drive in the opposite
direction.
PWM mo dulati on resumes at the be ginnin g of the
next period.
See Figure 14-12 for an illustration of this sequence.
The Full-Bridge mode does not provide dead-band
delay. As one output is modulated at a time, dead-band
delay is generally not required. There is a situation
where dead-band delay is 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 time of the power switch, including
the power device and driver circuit, is greater
than the turn on time.
Figure 14-13 show s an example of the PWM dire ction
chan gi ng from for w ar d to rev ers e , at a ne ar 100% duty
cycle. In this example, at time t1, the output PxA and
PxD become inactive, while output PxC becomes
active. Since the turn off time of the power devices is
longer than the turn on time, a shoot-through current
will flow through power devices QC and QD (see
Figure 14-10) for the duration of ‘t’. The same
phenomenon will occur to power devices QA and QB
for PWM di rec t io n ch an ge from reve rs e to forw a rd.
If changing PWM direction at high duty cycle is required
for an app lication, two possible solutions f or eliminatin g
the shoot-through current are:
1. Reduce PWM duty cycle for one PWM period
before changing directions.
2. Use switch drivers that can drive the switches off
faster than they can drive them on.
Other options to prevent shoot-through current may
exist.

14.4.3 ENHANCED PWM AUTO-
SH UTDOWN MODE
The PWM mode supports an Auto-Shut dow n mode that
will disable the PWM outputs when an external
shutdown event occurs. Auto-Shutdown mode places
the PWM output pins into a predetermined state. This
mode is used to help prevent the PWM from damaging
the application.
The auto-shutdown sources are selected using the
CCPxAS<2:0> bits of the ECCPxAS register. A
shutdow n event ma y be generated by :
•A logic0’ on the INT pin
Comparator Cx (async_CxOUT)
Setting the CCPxASE bit in firmware
A shutdown condition is indicated by the CCPxASE
(Auto-Shutdown Event Status) bit of the ECCPxAS
register. If the bit is a ‘0’, the PWM pins are operating
normally. If the bit is a ‘1’, the PWM outputs are in the
shutdown state.
When a shut down even t occurs, tw o things happen:
The CCPxASE bit is set to ‘1’. The CCPxASE will
remain set until cleared in firmware or an auto-restart
occurs (see Section 14.4.4 “Auto-Restart Mode” ).
The enabled PWM pins are asynchronously placed in
their shutdown states. The PWM output pins are
grouped into pairs [PxA/PxC] and [PxB/PxD]. The state
of each pin pair is determined by the PSSxAC<1:0> and
PSSxBD<1:0> bits of the ECCPxA S register. Each pin
pair may be plac ed into one of three s t ates:

Note 1: The auto-shutdown condition is a level-

As long as the level is present, the auto-

2: Writing to the CCPxASE bit is disabled
while an auto-shutdown condition
persists.
3: Once the auto-shutdown condition has
been removed and the PWM restarted
(either through firmware or auto-restart),
the PWM signal will always restart at the
beginning of the next PWM period.

The Enhanced PWM can be configured to
automatically restart the PWM signal once the auto-

enabled by setting the PxRSEN bit in the PWMxCON

If auto-restart is enabled, the CCPxASE bit will remain
set as long as the auto-shutdown condition is active.
When the auto-shutdown condition is removed, the
CCPxASE bit will be cleared via hardware and normal
operation will resume.

14.4.5 PROGRAMMABLE DEAD-BAND
DELAY MODE
In half-b ridge applications where all po wer switches are
modul ate d at t he P WM fr equ ency, the powe r swi tches
normall y require more tim e to turn of f than to turn on. If
both the upper and lower power switches are switched
at the same time (one turned on, and the other turned
off), both switc hes ma y be on for a sh ort period of time
until one switch completely turns off. During this brief
interval , a ve ry hig h curre nt (sh oot- through curren t) wil l
flow through both power switches, shorting the bridge
supply. To avoid this potentially destructive shoot-
through current from flowing during switching, turning
on either of the power switches is normally delayed to
allow the other switch to completely turn off.
In Half-Bridge mode, a digitally programmable dead-
band delay is available to avoid shoot-through current
from destroying the bridge power switches. The delay
occurs at the si gnal tra nsition fro m the no n-acti ve st ate
to the active state. See Figure 14-16 for illustration.
The lower seven bits of the associated PWMxCON
register (Register 14-6) sets the delay period in terms
of microcontroller instruction cycles (TCY or 4 TOSC).

14.4.6 PWM STEERING MODE
In Single Output mode, PWM steering allows any of the
PWM pins to be t he modulated signal. Addi tio nal ly, the
same PWM signal can be simultaneously available on
multiple pins.
Once the Single Output mode is selected
(CCPxM<3:2> = 11 and PxM<1:0> = 00 of the
CCPxCON register), the user firmware can bring out
the same PWM signal to one, two, three or four output
pins by setting the appropriate Steering Enable bits
(STRxA, STRxB, STRxC and/or STRxD) of the
PSTRxCO N register , as sh own in Table 14-13.
While the PWM Steeri ng mo de is act iv e, C CP xM <1: 0>
bits of the CCPxCON register select the PWM output
polarity for the PxD, PxC, PxB and PxA pins.
The PWM auto-shutdown operation also applies to
PWM Steering mode as described in Section 14.4.3
“Enhanced PWM Auto-shutdown Mode. An auto-
shutdown event will only affect pins that have PWM
outputs enabled.
FIGURE 14-18: SIMPLIFIED STEERING
BLOCK DIAGRAM
14.4.6.1 Steering Synchronization
The STRxSYNC bit of the PSTRxCON register gives
the user two selections of when the steering event will
happen. When the STRxSYNC bit is ‘0’, the steering
event will happen at the end of the instruction that
writes to the PSTRxCON register. In this case, the
output signal at the PxA, PxB, PxC and PxD pins may
be an incomplete PWM waveform. This operation is
useful when the user firmware needs to immediately
remove a PWM signal from the pin.
When the STRxSYNC bit is ‘1’, the effective steering
update will happen at the beginning of the next PWM
period. In this case, s teering on/of f th e PWM output wil l
always produce a complete PWM waveform.
Figures 14-19 and 14-20 illustrate t he timing diagr ams
of the PWM steering depending on the STRxSYNC
setting.
Note: The associated TRIS bits must be set to
outp ut ( 0’) to enable the pin output driver

14.4.7 START-UP CONSIDERATIONS
When any PWM mode is used, the application
hardware must use the proper external pull-up and/or
pull-down resistors on the PWM output pins.
The CCPxM<1:0> bits of the CCPxCON register allow
the user to choose whether the P WM output signals are
active-high or active-low for each pair of PWM output
pins (PxA/PxC and PxB/PxD). The PWM output
polarities must be selected before the PWM pin output
drivers are enabled. Changing the polarity
configuration while the PWM pin output drivers are
enable is not recommended since it may result in
damage to the applic ati on circuit s .
The P xA, P xB, P xC an d Px D output l atches ma y not be
in the proper states when the PWM module is
initialized. Enabling the PWM pin output drivers at the
same time as the Enhanced PWM modes may cause
damage to the application circuit. T he En han ce d PW M
modes must be enabled in the proper Output mode and
complete a full PWM cycle before enabling the PWM
pin output drivers. The completion of a full PWM cycle
is indicated by the TMRxIF bit of the PIR1, PIR2 or
PIR5 register being set as the second PWM period
begins.

14.4.8 SET UP FOR ECCP PWM
OPERATION USING ECCP1 AND
TIMER2
The following steps should be taken when configuring
the ECCP1 module for PWM operation using Timer2:
1. Configure the PWM pins to be used (P1A, P1B,
P1C, and P1D):
Configu re PWM o utp uts to be used as inp uts
by se tting the corresponding TRIS bits. This
prevents spurious outputs during setup.
Set the PSTR1CON bits for each PWM
output to be used.
2. Select Timer2 as the p eriod time r by con figurin g
CCPTMR0 register bits C1TSEL<1:0> = ‘00’.
3. Set the PWM period by loading th e PR2 register .
4. Configure auto-shutdown as OFF or select the
source with the CCP1AS<2:0> bits of the
ECCP1AS register.
5. Configure the auto-shutdown sources as
needed:
Configure each comparator used.
Config ure the comparator inputs as ana log .
Configure the FLT0 input pin and clear
ANSB0.
6. Force a shutdown condition (OFF included):
Configure safe starting output levels by
setting the default shutdown drive states with
the PSS1AC<1:0> an d PSS1BD<1:0> bits of
the ECCP1AS register.
Clear the P1RSEN bi t of the PWM1CON
register.
Set the CCP1AS bit of the ECCP1AS
register.
7. Configure the ECCP1 module for the desired
PWM mode and configuration by loading the
CCP1CON register with the appropriate values:
Select one of the available output configura-
tions and dire cti on with the P1M <1:0 > bit s .
Select the polarities of the PWM output
signals with the CCP1M<3:0> bits.
8. Set the 10-bit PWM duty cycle:
Load the e ight MSbs into the C CPR1L
register.
Load the two LSbs into the DC<1:0> bits of
the CCP1CON register.
9. For Half-Bridge Output mode, set the dead-
band delay by loading P1DC<6:0> bits of the
PWM1CON register with the appropriate value.
10. Configure and start TMR2:
Set the TMR2 prescale value by loading the
T2CKPS bits of the T2CON register.
Start Timer2 by setting the TMR2ON bit.
11. Enable the ECCP1/P1A, P1B, P1C and/or P1D
pin outputs by clearing the respec tive TRIS bit s.
12. Start the PWM:
If shut dow n au to-rest art is us ed, t hen s et the
P1RSEN bit of the PWM1CON register.
If shutdow n auto- res tart is not used, then
clear the CCP1ASE bit of the ECCP1AS
register.

Note 1: In devices with more than one MSSP
module, it is very important to pay close
attention to SSPxCONx register names.
SSP1CON1 and SSP1CON2 registers
control different operational aspects of
the same module, while SSP1CON1 and
SSP2CON1 control the s ame features for
two different modules.
2: Throughout this section, generic
references to an MSSP module in any of
its operating modes may be interpreted
as being equally applicable to MSSP1 or
MSSP2. Register names, module I/O
signals, and bit names may use the
generic designator ‘x’ to indicate the use
of a numeral to distinguish a particular
module when required.

15.2 SPI Mode Overview
The Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) bus is a
synchronous serial data communication bus that
operates in Full-Duplex mode. Devices communicate
in a ma ster/slave environment where the master device
initiates the communication. A slave device is
controlled through a chip select known as Slave Select.
The SPI bus specifies four signal connections:
Ser ial Clock (SCKx)
Serial Data Out (SDOx)
Serial Data In (SDIx)
Slave Select (SSx)
Figure 15-1 shows the block diagram of the MSSPx
module when operating in SPI Mode .
The SPI bus operates with a single master device and
one or more slave devices. When multiple slave
devices are used, an independent Slave Select
connection is required from the master device to each
slave dev ic e.
Figure 15-4 shows a typical connection between a
master device and multiple slave devices.
The mas ter select s only one sla ve at a time. M ost slave
devices have tri-state outputs so their output signal
appears disconnected from the bus when they are not
selected.
Transmissions involve two shift registers, eight bits in
size, o ne in the ma ster and o ne in the sla ve. With eith er
the master or the slave device, data is always shifted
out one b it at a time , with the Mo st Signifi cant bit (M Sb)
shifted out first. At the same time, a new Least
Significant bit (LSb) is shifted into the same register.
Figure 15-5 shows a typical connection between two
processors configured as master and slave devices.
Data is shifted out of both shift registers on the
programmed clock edge and latched on the opposite
edge of the clock .
The master device transmits information out on its
SDOx output pin which is connected to, and received
by, th e slav e’s SDIx i nput pin. T he sla ve dev ice tra ns-
mits information out on its SDOx output pin, which is
connec ted to , a nd rec ei ve d by, the m aster’s SDIx inp ut
pin.
To begin communication, the master device first sends
out the clock signal. Both the master and the slave
devices should be configured for the same clock
polarity.
The mas ter device sta rts a trans mission by sending out
the MSb from its shift register. The slave device reads
this bit from that same line and saves it into the LSb
position of its shift register.
During each SPI clock cycle, a full-duplex data
transmi ssion occurs. This means that at the sam e time,
the slave device is sending out the MSb from its shift
register and the master device is reading this bit from
that same line and saving it as the LSb of its shift
register.
Aft er 8 bits have bee n shif ted out, the maste r and slav e
have exchanged register values.
If there is more data to exchan ge, the shif t registers are
loaded with new data and the process repeats itself.
Whether the data is meaningful or not (dummy data),
depends on the application software. This leads to
three scenarios for data transmission:
Master sends use ful dat a and sl ave sends dummy
data.
Master sends useful data and slave sends useful
data.
Master sends dummy data and slave sends use ful
data.
Transmissions may involve any number of clock
cycles. When there is no more data to be transmitted,
the master stops sending the clock signal and it
deselects the slave.
Every slave device connected to the bus that has not
been selected through its slave select line must disre-
gard the clock and transmission signals and must not
transmit out any data of its own.

FIGURE 15-4: SPI MASTER AND MULTIPLE SLAVE CONNECTION
15.2.1 SPI MODE REGISTERS
The MSSPx module has five registers for SPI mode
operation. These are:
MSSPx STATUS register (SSPxSTAT)
MSSPx Control register 1 (SSPxCON1)
MSSPx Control register 3 (SSPxCON3)
MSSPx Data Buffer register (SSPxBUF)
MSSPx Address register (SSPxADD)
MSSPx Shift register (SSPxSR)
(Not directly accessible)
SSPxCON1 and SSPxSTAT are the control and
STATUS registers in SPI mode operation. The
SSPxCON1 register is readable and writable. The
lower 6 bit s of the SSPxSTA T are read-on ly. The upper
two bits of the SSPxSTAT are read/write.
In one SPI Master mode, SSPxADD can be loaded
with a value used in the Baud Rate Generator. More
information on the Baud Rate Gen e rator is available in
Section 15.7 “Baud Rate Generator.
SSPxSR is the shift register used for shifting data in
and out. SSPxBUF provides indirect access to the
SSPxSR register. SSPxBUF is the buffer register to
which data bytes are written, and from which data
bytes are read.
In receive operations, SSPxSR and SSPxBUF
together create a buffered receiver. When SSPxSR
receives a co mplete by te, i t is tran sf erred to SSPx BUF
and the SSPxIF interrupt is set.
During transmission, the SSPxBUF is not buffered. A
write to SSPxBUF will write to both SSPxBUF and
SSPxSR.
15.2.2 SPI MODE OPERATION
When initializing the SPI, several options need to be
specified. This is done by programming the appropriate
control bits (SSPxCON1<5:0> and SSPxSTAT<7:6>).
These control bits allow the following to be specified:
Master mode (SCKx is the clock output)
Slave mode (SCKx is the clock input)
Clock Pola rity (Idle state of SCKx)
Data Input Sample Phase (middle or end of data
output time)
Clock Edge (output data on rising/falling edge of
SCKx)
Clock Rate (Master mode only)
Slave Select mode (Slave mode only)
To enable the serial port, SSPx Enab le bit, SSPxEN of
the SSPxCON1 register , must be set. To reset or recon-
figure SPI mode, clear the SSPxEN bit, re-initialize the
SSPxCONx registers and then set the SSPxEN bit.
This configures the SDIx, SDOx, SCKx and SSx 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 fol-
lows:
SDIx must have corresponding TRIS bit set
SDOx mus t have correspondin g TRIS bit cleared
SCKx (Master mode) must have corresponding
TRIS bit cleared
SCKx (Slave mode) must have corresponding
TRIS bit set
SSx must have corresponding TRIS bit set

Any serial port function that is not desired may be
overridden by programming the corresponding data
direction (TRIS) register to the opposite value.
The MSSPx con sist s of a tran smit/ receiv e shif t reg ister
(SSPxSR) and a buffer register (SSPxBUF). The
SSPxSR shifts the data in and out of the device, MSb
first. The SSPxBUF holds the data that was written to
the SSPxSR until the received data is ready. Once the
8 bit s of dat a ha ve been received, that byte is mov ed to
the SSPxBUF regi st er. Then, the Buffe r Full Dete ct bi t,
BF of the SSPx STAT regi ster, and the inte rrupt fla g bi t,
SSPxIF, are set. This double-buffering of the received
data (SSPx BUF) al lows the nex t by te to st a rt re ce ptio n
before reading the data that was just received. Any
write to the SSPxBUF register during transmission/
reception of data will be ignored and the write collision
detect bit, WCOL of the SSPxCON1 register, will be
set. User sof tware must clear the WCOL bit to allow the
following write(s) to the SSPxBUF register to complete
successfully.
When the application software is expecting to receive
valid data, the SSPxBUF should be read before the
next byte of da ta to transfer is written to the SSPxBUF.
The Buffer Full bit, BF of the SSPxSTAT register,
indicates when SSPxBUF has been loaded with the
received data (transmission is complete). When the
SSPxBUF is read, the BF bit is cleared. This data may
be irrelevant if the SPI is only a transmitter. Generally,
the MSSPx interrupt is used to determine when the
transmission/reception has completed. If the interrupt
method is not going to be used, then software polling
can be done to ensure that a write collision does not
occur.

15.2.3 SPI MASTER MODE
The master can initiate the data transfer at any time
because it controls the SCKx line. The master
determines when the slave (Processor 2, Figure 15-5)
is to broadcast data by the software protocol.
In Master mode, the data is transmitted/received as
soon as the SSPxBUF register is written to. If the SPI
is only goi ng to rec ei ve, the SDOx outpu t cou ld be di s-
abled (pro grammed as an input). The SSPxSR reg ister
will continue to shift in the signal present on the SDIx
pin at the programmed clock rate. As each byte is
received, it will be load ed into the SSPxBUF register a s
if a normal received byte (interrupts and Status bits
appropriately set).
The clock polarity is selected by appropriately
programming the CKP bit of the SSPxCON1 register
and the CKE bit of the SSPxSTAT register. This then,
would give waveforms for SPI communication as
shown in Figure 15-6, Figure 15-8, Figure 15-9 and
Figure 15-10, where the MSB is transmitted first. In
Master mode, the SPI clock rate (bit rate) is user
programmable to be one of the following:
•F
OSC/4 (or TCY)
•FOSC/16 (or 4 * TCY)
•FOSC/64 (or 16 * TCY)
Timer2 output/2
•F
OSC/(4 * (SSPxADD + 1))
Figure 15-6 shows the waveforms for Master mode.
When the CKE bit is se t, the SDOx dat a is va lid befo re
there is a clock e dge on SC Kx. The cha nge of the i nput
sample is shown based on the state of the SMP bit. The
time when the SSPxBUF is loaded with the received
dat a is shown.

15.2 .4 SPI SLAVE MODE
In Slave m ode , the data is transmitted and rece iv ed a s
external clock pulses appear on SCKx. When the last
bit is latched, the SSPxIF inte rrupt 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 SCKx pin. The Idle state is
determined by the CKP bit of the SSPxCON1 register.
While in Slave mode, the external clock is supplied by
the external clock source on the SCKx pin. This exter-
nal clock must meet the minimum high and low times
as specified in the electrical specifications.
While in Sleep mode, the slave can transmit/receive
data. The shift register is clocked from the SCKx pin
input and when a byte is received, the device will gen-
erate an interrupt. If enabled, the device will wake-up
from Sleep.
15.2.4.1 Daisy-Chain Configuration
The SPI bus can sometimes be connected in a daisy-
chain c on fig uration. The first sla ve output is connected
to the second slave input, the second slave output is
connected to the third slave input, and so on. The final
slave output is connected to the master input. Each
slave sends out, during a second group of clock
pulses, an exact copy of what was received during the
first group of clock pulses. The whole chain acts as
one large communication shift register. The daisy-
chain feature only requires a single Slave Select line
from the master device.
Figure 15-7 shows the block diagram of a typical
daisy-c ha in co nne cti on w hen operati ng in SPI Mode.
In a daisy-chain configuration, only the most recent
byte on the bus is required by the slave. Setting the
BOEN bit of the SSPxCON3 regi ster will enable writes
to the SSPxBUF re gis te r, even if the previo us byt e ha s
not been read. This allows the software to ignore data
that may not apply to it.
15.2.5 SL AV E SELE CT
SYNCHRONIZATION
The Slave Select can also be used to synchronize
commu nication. The Slave Selec t l ine is hel d hi gh u ntil
the master device is ready to communicate. When the
Slave Select line is pulled low, the slave knows that a
new transmission is starting.
If the slave fai ls to receive the commu nication properl y,
it will be reset at the en d of the trans m is sion, w hen the
Slave Select line returns to a high state. The slave is
then ready to receive a new transmission when the
Slave Se lect line is pulled low again . If the Sl ave Selec t
line is not used, there is a risk that the slave will even-
tually become out of sync with the master. If the slave
misses a bit , it wi ll always be one bi t of f in future trans -
missions. Use of the Slave Select line allows the slave
and master to align themselves at the beginning of
each transmission (Figure 15-8).
The SSx pin allows a Synchronous Slave mode. The
SPI must be in Slave mode with SSx pin control
enabled (SSPxCON1<3:0> = 0100).
When the SSx pin is low, transmission and reception
are enabled and the SDOx pin is driven.
When t he SSx pin goes hi gh, the SDOx pin is no longer
driven, even if in the middle of a transmitted byte and
becomes a floating output. External pull-up/pull-down
resistors may be desirable depending on the applica-
tion.
When the SPI module resets, the bit counter is forced
to ‘0’. Th is can be don e by eith er forcin g the SSx pin to
a high level or clearing the SSPxEN bit.
Note 1: When the SPI is in Slave mode with SSx
pin control enabled (SSPxCON1<3:0> =
0100), the SPI module will reset if the SSx
pin is set to VDD.
2: When the SPI is us ed in Slav e mode with
CKE set; the user must enable SSx pin
control.
3: While operated in SPI Slave mode the
SMP bit of the SSPxSTAT register must
remain clear.

15.2.6 SPI OPERATION IN SLEEP MODE
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 the Sleep mode, all clocks are halted.
Special care must be taken by the user when the
MSSPx clock is much faster than the system clock.
In Slave mode, when MSSPx interrupts are enabled,
after the master completes sending data, an MSSPx
interrupt will wake the controller from Sleep.
If an exit from Sleep mode is not desired, MSSPx
interrupts should be disabled.
In SPI Master mode, when the Sleep mode is selected,
all module clocks are halted and the transmission/
reception will remain in that state until the device
wakes. After the device returns to Run mode, the
module will resume transmitting and receiving data.
In SPI Slave mode, the SPI Transmit/Receive Shift
register operates asynchronously to the device. This
allow s th e d ev ice to be placed in Sleep mode and data
to be shifted into the SPI Transmit/Receive Shift
register. When all eight bits have been received, the
MSSPx interrupt flag bit will be set and if enabled, will
wake the devic e.

15.3 I2C Mode Overview
The Inter-Integrated Circuit Bus (I2C) is a multi-master
serial data communication bus. Devices communicate
in a master/slave environment where the master
devices initiate the communication. A slave device is
controlled through addressing.
The I2C bus specifies two signal connections:
Ser ial Clock (SCLx)
Serial Data (SDAx)
Figure 15-2 shows the block diagram of the MSSPx
module when operating in I2C mode.
Both the SCL x and SDAx conn ectio ns are bid irecti onal
open-drain lines, eac h requiring pull-up resistors for the
supply vo ltage. Pulling the line to ground is con si dere d
a logical zero and letting the line float is cons idered a
logical one.
Figure 15-11 shows a typical connection between two
processors configured as master and slave devices.
The I2C bus can operate with one or more master
devices and one or more slave devices.
There are four potential mo des o f operation for a g ive n
device:
Master Transmit mod e
(master is transmitting data to a slave)
Master Receive mode
(master is rec eiv in g dat a from a slave )
•Slave Transmit mode
(slave is transmitting data to a master)
Sla ve Rece ive mode
(slave is receiving data from the master)
To begin communication, a master device starts out in
Master T ransmit mode. The master device sends out a
Start bit followed by the address byte of the slave it
intends to communicate with. This is followed by a sin-
gle Rea d/Write bit, which determines w hether the ma s-
ter inten ds to transmit to or receive data from the s lav e
device.
If the requested slave exists on the bus, it will respond
with an Acknowledge bit, otherwis e kno wn as an ACK.
The master then continues in either Transmit mode or
Receive mode and the slave continues in the comple-
ment, either in Receive mode or Transmit mode,
respectively.
A Start bit is indicated by a high-to- lo w transi tio n of the
SDAx line while the SCLx line is held high. Address and
data bytes are se nt out, Most Signifi cant b it (MSb) firs t.
The Read/Write bit is sent out as a lo gical one when the
master in ten ds to read data from the slave, a nd is se nt
out as a logic al zero w hen it i ntends to write d at a to th e
slave.
FIGURE 15-11: I2C™ MASTER/
SLAVE CONNECTION
The Acknowledge bit (ACK) is an active-low signal,
which holds the SDAx line low to indicate to the
transmitter that the slave device has received the
transmitted data and is ready to receive more.
The transition of data bits is always performed while the
SCLx line is held low. Transitions that occur while the
SCLx line is held high are used to indicate Start and
Stop bits.
If the master intends to write to the slave, then it
repeatedly sends out a byte of data, with the slave
responding after each byte with an ACK bit. In this
example, the master device is in Master T ransmit mode
and the slave i s in Sl ave Receive mode.
If the master intends to read from the slave, then it
repeatedly receives a byte of data from the slave, and
responds after each byte with an ACK bit. In this
exampl e, the master de vice is in Ma ster Rece ive mod e
and the slave is Slave Transmit mode.
On the last byte of data communicated, the master
device may end the t ransmiss ion by sendi ng a S top bit.
If the master device is in Receive mode, it sends the
Stop bit in place of the last ACK bit. A Stop bit is
indicated by a low-to-high transition of the SDAx line
while the SCLx line is held high.
In some cases, the master may want to maintain con-
trol of the bus and re-initiate another transmission. If
so, the master device may send another Start bit in
place of th e S top bit or last ACK bit when it is in receiv e
mode.
The I2C bus specifies three me ssage protocols;
Single message where a master writes data to a
slave.
Single message where a master reads data from
a slave.
Combined message where a master initiates a
minimum of two writes, or two reads, or a
combination of writes and reads, to one or more
slaves.

PIC18(L)F2X/4XK22
When one devi ce is transmit ting a logical on e, or letting
the line float, and a second device is transmitting a
logical zero, or holdin g the lin e low , the first device can
detect that the line is not a logical one. This detection,
when us ed on the SCLx lin e, is call ed cl oc k stre tc hin g.
Clock stretching give slave devices a mechanism to
control th e flow of da ta. When this detectio n is used on
the SDAx line, it is called arbitration. Arbitration
ensures that there is only one master device
communicating at an y single time.
15.3.1 CLOCK STRETCHING
When a slave device has not completed processing
data, it can del ay th e tran sfe r of more data through the
process of clock stretching. An addressed slave device
may hold the SCLx clock line low after receiving or
sending a bit, indicating that it is not yet ready to
continue. The master that is communicating with the
slave will attempt to raise the SCLx line in order to
transfer the next bit, but will detect that the clock line
has not yet been released. Because the SCLx
connection is open-drain, the slave has the ability to
hold that line low until it is ready to continue
communicating.
Clock stretching allows receivers that cannot keep up
with a transmitter to control the flow of incoming data.
15.3.2 ARBITRATION
Each mas ter d ev ice mu st m on itor the bus fo r St art an d
Stop bits. If the device detects that the bus is busy, it
cannot b egin a new message u ntil the bus returns to a n
Idle st a te.
However, two master devices may try to initiate a
transmission on or about the same time. When this
occurs, the process of arbitration begins. Each
transmitter checks the level of the SDAx data line and
compares it to the level that it expects to find. The first
transmitter to observe that the two levels don’t match,
loses arbitration, and must stop transmitting on the
SDAx line.
For example, if one transmitter holds the SDAx line to
a logical one (lets it float) and a second transmitter
holds it to a logical zero (pulls it low), the result is that
the SDAx line will be low. The first transmitter then
observes that the level of the line is different than
expected and concludes that another transmitter is
communicating.
The first transmitter to notice this difference is the one
that loses arbitration and must stop driving the SDAx
line. If this transmitter is also a master device, it also
must st op driv ing th e SCLx line. It then c an mo nitor th e
lines for a Stop condition before trying to reissue its
transmission. In the meantime, the other device that
has not noticed any difference between the expected
and actual levels on the SDAx line continues with its
original transmission. It can do so without any compli-
cations, because so far, the transmission appears
exactl y as expecte d with no other t ransmitter dis turbing
the message.
Slave Transmit mode can also be arbitrated, when a
master addresses multiple slaves, but this is less
common.
If two master devices are sending a message to two
diff erent sla ve devices a t the address stage, the master
sending the lower slave address always wins
arbitration. When two master devices send messages
to the same slave address, and addresses can
sometimes refer to multiple slaves, the arbitration
process must continue into the data stage.
Arbitration usually occurs very rarely, but it is a
necessary process for proper multi-master support.

15.4 I2C Mode Operation
All MSSPx I2C communication is byte oriented and
shifted out MSb first. Six SFR registers and 2 interrupt
flags interface the module with the PIC® microcon-
troller and user software. Two pins, SDAx and SCLx,
are exercised by the module to communicate with
other external I2C devices.
15.4.1 BYTE FORMAT
All communication in I2C is done in 9-bit segments. A
byte is sent from a master to a slave or vice-versa,
followed by an Acknowledge bit sent back. After the
8th falling edge of the SCLx line, the device outputting
data on the SDAx changes that pin to an input and
reads in an acknowledge value on the next clock
pulse.
The clock signal, SCLx, is provided by the master.
Data is valid to change while the SCLx signal is low,
and sampled on the rising edge of the clock. Changes
on the SDAx line while the SCLx line is high define
special conditions on the bus, explained below.
15.4.2 DEFINITION OF I2C TERMINOLOGY
There is language and terminology in the description
of I2C communication that have definitions specific to
I2C. That word usage is defined below and may be
used in the rest of this document without explana-
tion. This table was adapted from the Phillips I2C
specification.
15.4.3 SDAx AND SCLx PINS
Selection of any I2C mode with the SSPxEN bit set,
forces the SCLx and SDAx pins to be open-drain.
These pins should be set by the user to inputs by
setting the appropriate TRIS bits.
15.4.4 SDAx HOLD TI ME
The hold time of the SDAx pin is selected by the
SDAHT bit of the SSPxCON3 register. Hold time is the
time SDAx is held valid after the falling edge of SCLx.
Setting the SDAHT bit selects a longer 300 ns mini-
mum hold time and may help on buses with large
capacitance.

the R/W bit set, indicating that it
wishes to clock data out of the
Slave. This data is the next and all
following bytes until a Restart or
Stop.

low by the module while it is out-
putting and expected high state.
2010-2012 Microchip Technology Inc. DS41412F- page 225
PIC18(L)F2X/4XK22
15.4.5 START CONDITION
The I2C specification defines a Start condition as a
transiti on of SDAx from a hi gh-to -lo w st ate while SCL x
line is high. A Start condition is always generated by
the master and signifies the transition of the bus from
an Idle to an active state. Figure 15-12 shows wave
forms for Start and Stop conditions.
A bus collision can occur on a Start condition if the
modul e samples the SDAx line low be fore asse rting i t
low. This does not conform to the I2C specification that
states no bus collision can occur on a Start.
15.4.6 STOP CONDITION
A Stop condition is a transition of the SDAx line from a
low-to-high state while the SCLx line is high.
15.4.7 RESTART CONDITION
A Restart is valid any time that a Stop would be valid.
A master can issue a Restart if it wishes to hold the
bus after terminating the current transfer. A Restart
has the same effect on the slave that a Start would,
resetting all slave logic and preparing it to cloc k in an
address . The mas te r may want to ad dress th e same or
another sl ave. Figure 15-13 shows the wave form for a
Restart condition.
In 10-bit Addressing Slave mode a Restart is required
for the master to clock data out of the addressed slave.
Once a slave h as b een fully add re ssed, ma tchi ng bot h
high and low address bytes, the master can issue a
Restart and the high address byt e with the R/W bit set.
The slave logic will then hold th e clock and prepare to
clock out data.
After a fu ll m atc h wi th R/W clear in 10-b it mode, a prior
match flag is set and maintained. Until a Stop
condition, a high address with R/W clear, or high
address match fails.
15.4.8 ST ART/STOP CONDITION INTERRUPT
MASKING
The SCIE and PCIE bits of the SSPxCON3 register
can enable the generation of an interrupt in Slave
modes t hat do not typically su ppo rt th is function. Slave
modes where interrupt on Start and Stop detect are
already enabled, these bits will have no effect.

15.4.9 ACKNOWLEDGE SEQUENCE
The 9th SCLx pulse for any transferred byte in I2C is
dedicated as an Acknowledge. It allows receiving
devices to respond back to the transmitter by pulling
the SDAx line low. The transmitter must release con-
trol of the line during this time to shift in the response.
The Acknowledge (ACK) is an active-low signal, pull-
ing the SDAx line low indicated to the transmitter that
the device has received the transmitted data and is
ready to receive more.
The result of an ACK is placed in the ACKSTAT bit of
the SSPxCON2 register.
Slave software, when the AHEN and DHEN bits are
set, allow the user to set the ACK value sent back to
the transmitter. The ACKDT bit of the SSPxCON2
register is set/cleared to determine the response.
Slave hardware will generate an ACK response if the
AHEN and DHEN bits of the SSPxCON3 register are
clear.
There are certain conditions where an ACK will not be
sent by the slave. If the BF bit of the SSPxSTAT
register or the SSPxOV bit of the SSPxCON1 register
are set when a by te is received.
When the module is addressed, after the 8th falling
edge of SCLx on the bus, the ACKTIM bit of the
SSPxCON3 register is set. The ACKTIM bit indicates
the acknowledge time of the active bus.
The A CKTIM Sta tus bit is only ac tive wh en the AH EN
bit or DHEN bit is enabled.
15.5 I2C Slave M ode Operation
The MSSPx Slave mode operates in one of four
modes selected in the SSPxM bits of SSPxCON1
register . The modes can be divided into 7-bit and 10-bit
Addressing mode. 10-bit Addressing modes operate
the same as 7-bit with some additional overhead for
handling the larger addresses.
Modes with Start and Stop bit interrupts operated the
same as the other modes with SSPxIF additionally
getting set upon detection of a Start, Restart, or Stop
condition.
15.5.1 SLAVE MODE ADDR ES SE S
The SSPxADD register (Register 15-6) contains the
Slave mode address. The first byte received after a
Start or Restart condition is compared against the
value stored in this register. If the byte matches, the
value is loaded into the SSPxBUF register and an
interrupt is generated. If the value does not match, the
module goes Idle and no indication is given to the
softw a re that any thi ng hap pen ed.
The SSPx Mask register (Register 15-5) affects the
address matching process. See Section 15.5.9
“SSPx Mask Register” for more information.
15.5.1.1 I2C Slave 7-bit Addressing Mode
In 7-bit Address ing mode, the LSb of the rec eived dat a
byte is i gnored wh en determ ining if there i s an add ress
match.
15.5.1.2 I2C Slave 10-bit Addressing Mode
In 10-bit Addressing mode, the first received byte is
comp are d t o th e b ina ry v al ue of ‘ 1 1 1 1 0 A9 A8 0’. A9
and A8 are the two MSb of the 10-bit address and
stored in bits 2 and 1 of the SSPxADD register.
After the acknowledge of the high byte the UA bit is set
and SCLx is held low until the user updates SSPxADD
with the low address. The low address byte is clocked
in and all eight bits are compared to the low address
value in SSPxADD. Even if there is not an address
match; SSPxIF and UA are set, and SCLx is held low
until SSPxADD is updated to receive a high byte
again. When SSPxADD is updated the UA bit is
cleared. This ensures the module is ready to receive
the high address byte on the next communication.
A high and low address match as a write request is
required at the start of all 10-bit addressing
communication. A transmission can be initiated by
issuing a Restart once the slave is addressed, and
clocking in the high address with the R/W bit set. The
slave hardware will then acknowledge the read
request and prepare to clock out data. This is only
valid for a slave after it has received a complete high
and low address byte match.
2010-2012 Microchip Technology Inc. DS41412F- page 227
PIC18(L)F2X/4XK22
15.5.2 SLAVE RECEPTION
When the R/W bit of a m atc hin g re ce iv ed add res s by te
is clear, the R/W bit of the SSPxSTAT register is
cleared. The received address is loaded into the
SSPxBUF register and acknowledged.
When the overflow condition exists for a received
address, then not Acknowledge is given. An overflow
condition is defined as either bit BF of the SSPxSTAT
register is set, or bit SSPxOV of the SSPxCON1 regis-
ter is set. The BOEN bit of the SSPxCON3 register
modifies this operation. For more information see
Register 15-4.
An MSSPx interrupt is generated for each transferred
data byte. Flag bit, SSPxIF, must be cleared by
software.
When the SEN bit of the SSPxCON2 register is set,
SCLx will be held low (clock stretch) following each
received byte. The clock must be released by setting
the CKP bit of the SSPxCON1 register, except
sometimes in 10-bit mode. See Section 15.2.3 “SPI
Master Mode for more detail.
15.5.2.1 7-bit Addressing Reception
This section describes a standard sequence of events
for the MSSPx module configured as an I2C slave in
7-bit Addressing mode. All decisions made by hard-
ware or software and their effect on reception.
Figure 15-14 and Figure 15-15 are used as a visual
reference for this description.
This is a step by step process of what typically must
be done to accomplish I2C communication.
1. Start bit detected.
2. S bit of SSPxSTAT is set; SSPxIF is set if
interrupt on Start detect is enabled.
3. Matching a ddress with R/W bit clear i s received.
4. The slave pul ls SDAx low sending an ACK to the
master, and sets SSPxIF bit.
5. Software clears the SSPxIF bit.
6. Software reads received address from
SSPxBUF clearing the BF flag.
7. If SEN = 1; Slave software sets CKP bit to
release the SCLx line .
8. The master clocks out a data byte.
9. Slave drives SDAx low sending an ACK to the
master, and sets SSPxIF bit.
10. Software clears SSPxIF.
11. Software reads the received byte from
SSPxBUF clearing BF.
12. Steps 8-12 are repeated for all received bytes
from the master.
13. Master sends Stop condition, setting P bit of
SSPxSTAT, and the bus goes Idle.
15.5.2.2 7-bit Reception with AHEN and DHEN
Slave device reception with AHEN and DHEN set
operate the same as without these options with extra
interrupts and clock stretching added after the 8th fall-
ing edge of SCLx . These additi onal in terrupt s al low the
slave software to decide whether it wants to ACK the
receive address or data byte, rather than the hard-
ware. This fun cti ona li ty a dds support for PMBus™ that
was not present on previous versions of this module.
This list describes the steps that need to be taken by
slave software to use these options for I2C
communication. Figure 15-16 display s a m odule usi ng
both address and data holding. Figure 15-17 includes
the operation with the SEN bit of the SSPxCON2
register se t.
1. S bit of SSPxSTAT is set; SSPxIF is set if
interrupt on Start detect is enabled.
2. Matching address with R/W bit clear is clocked
in. SSPxIF is set and CKP cleared after the 8th
falling edge of SCLx.
3. Slave clears the SSPxIF.
4. Slave can look at the ACKTIM bit of the
SSPxCON3 register to determine if the SSPxIF
was after or before the ACK.
5. Slave reads the address value from SSPxBUF,
clearing the BF flag.
6. Slave sets ACK va lue cloc ke d out to the mast er
by setting ACKDT.
7. Slave releases the clock by setting CKP.
8. SSPxIF is set after an ACK, not after a NACK.
9. If SEN = 1 the slave hardware will stretch the
clock after the ACK.
10. Slave clears SSPxIF.
11. SSPxIF set and CKP cleared after 8th falling
edge of SCLx for a received data byte.
12. Slave looks at ACKTIM bit of SSPxCON3 to
determine the source of the interrupt.
13. Slave reads the received data from SSPxBUF
clearing BF.
14. Steps 7-14 are the same for each received data
byte.
15. Communication is ended by either the slave
sending an ACK =1, or the master sending a
Stop condition. If a Stop is sent and Interrupt on
Stop detect is disabled, the slave will only know
by po lling th e P bit of the SST STAT reg ister.
Note: SSPxIF is still set after the 9th falling edge of
SCLx e ven if there is no clock s tretching an d
BF has been cleared. Only if NACK is sent
to master is SSPxIF not set.

15.5.3 SLAVE TRANSMISSION
When the R/W bi t of the in coming add ress byt e is set
and an address match occurs, the R/W bit of the
SSPxSTAT register is set. The received address is
loaded into the SSPxBUF reg ister , and an ACK pulse is
sent by the slave on the ninth bit.
Following the ACK, slave hardware clears the CKP bit
and the SCLx pin is held low (see Section 15.5.6
“Clock Stretching” for more detail). By stretching the
clock , the master w ill b e unable to ass ert anoth er clock
pulse until the slave is done preparing the transmit
data.
The transmit data must be loaded into the SSPxBUF
register which also loads the SSPxSR register. Then
the SCLx pin should be releas ed by setting the CKP bit
of the SSPxCON1 register. The eight data bits are
shifted out on the falling edge of the SCLx input. This
ensures that the SDAx signal is valid during the SCLx
high time.
The ACK pulse from the master-receiver is latched on
the rising edge of the ninth SCLx input pulse. This ACK
value is copied to the ACKSTAT bit of t he SSPxCON2
register. If ACKSTAT is set (not ACK), then the data
transfer is complete. In this case, w hen the not ACK is
latched by the slave, the slave goes Idle and waits for
another occurrence of the Start bit. If the SDAx line was
low (ACK), the next transmit data must be loaded into
the SSPxBUF register. Again, the SCLx pin must be
released by setting bit CKP.
An MSSPx in terrupt is genera ted for each da ta trans fer
byte. The SSPxIF bit must be cleared by software and
the SSPxSTAT register is us ed to de term in e the status
of the byte . The SSPx IF bi t is set on the fall ing edge of
the ninth clock pulse.
15.5.3.1 Slave Mode Bus Collision
A slave receives a Read request and begins shifting
data out on the SDAx line. If a bus collision is detected
and the SBCDE bit of the SSPxCON3 register is set,
the BCLxIF bit of the PIRx register is set. Once a bus
collis ion is detec ted, the slav e goes Idle a nd waits to b e
addressed again. User software can use the BCLxIF bit
to handle a slave bus collision.
15.5.3.2 7-bit Transmission
A master device can transmit a read request to a
slave, and then clock data out of the slave. The list
below outl ines what s oft war e for a sl ave wil l need to do
to accomplish a standard transmission. Figure 15-18
can be used as a reference to this list.
1. Master sends a Start condition on SDAx and
SCLx.
2. S bit of SSPxSTAT is set; SSPxIF is set if inter-
rupt on Start detect is enabled.
3. Matching address with R/W bit set is received by
the slave setting SSPxIF bit.
4. Slave hardware generates an ACK and sets
SSPxIF.
5. SSPxIF bit is cleared by user.
6. Software reads the received address from
SSPxBUF, clearing BF.
7. R/W is set so CKP was automatically cleared
after the ACK.
8. The slave software loads the transmit data into
SSPxBUF.
9. CKP bit is set rele asing SCLx, allowi ng the mas-
ter to clock the data out of the slave.
10. SSPxIF is set after the ACK response from the
master is loaded into the ACKSTAT register.
11. SSPxIF bit is cleared.
12. The slave software checks the ACKSTAT bit to
see if the master wants to clock out more data.
13. Steps 9-13 are repeated for each transmitted
byte.
14. If the master sends a not ACK; the clock is not
held, but SSPxIF is still set.
15. The ma ster send s a Res tart co nditio n or a Stop.
16. The slave is no longer add res se d.
Note 1: If the master ACKs the clock will be
stretched.
2: ACKSTAT is the only bit updated on the
rising edge of SCLx (9th) rather than the
falling.

15.5.3.3 7-bit Transmission with Address
Hold Enabled
Setting the AHEN bit of the SSPxCON3 register
enables additional clock stretching and interrupt
generation after the 8th falling edge of a received
matching address. Once a matching address has
been clocked in, CKP is cleared and the SSPxIF
interrupt is set.
Figure 15-19 displays a standard waveform of a 7-bit
Address Slave Transmission with AHEN enabled.
1. Bus starts Idl e.
2. Master sends Start condition; the S bit of
SSPxSTAT is set; SSPxIF is set if interrupt on
Start detect is enabled.
3. Master sends matching address with R/W bit
set. After the 8th falling edge of the SCLx line the
CKP bit is cleared and SSPxIF interrupt is
generated.
4. Slave software clears SSPxIF.
5. Slave sof tware reads ACKTIM bi t of SSPxCON3
register, and R/W and D/A of the SSPxSTAT
register to determine the source of the int errup t.
6. Slave reads the address value from the SSPxBUF
regis ter clearing th e BF bit.
7. Slave software deci des from th is i nfo rma tio n i f it
wishes to ACK or not ACK and sets ACKDT bit
of the SSPxCON2 register accordingly.
8. Slave sets the CKP bi t releasing SCLx.
9. Master clock s in the ACK value from the slave.
10. Slav e hardware autom atically clea rs the CKP bit
and sets SSPxIF after the ACK if the R/W bit is
set.
11. Slave software clears SSPxIF.
12. Slave loads value to transmit to the master into
SSPxBUF setting the BF bit.
13. Slave sets CKP bit releasing the clock.
14. Master clocks out the data from the slave and
sends an A CK value on the 9th SCLx pulse.
15. Slave hardware copies the ACK value into the
ACKSTAT bit of the SSPxCON2 register.
16. Steps 10-15 are repeated for each byte
transmitted to th e master from the slave.
17. If the master sends a not ACK the slave
releases the bus allowing the master to send a
Stop and end the communication.
Note: SSPxBUF cannot be loaded until after the
ACK.
Note: Master must send a not ACK on the last byte
to ensure that the slave releases the SCLx
line to receive a Stop.

15.5.4 SLAVE MODE 10-BIT ADDRESS
RECEPTION
This section describes a standard sequence of events
for the MSSPx module configured as an I2C slave in
10-b it Ad d res si ng m od e (Figure 15-20) and is used as
a visual reference for this description.
This is a step by s tep proc ess o f wha t mus t be don e by
slave software to accomp lish I 2C communication.
1. Bus starts Idl e.
2. Master sends S tart condition; S bit of SSPxST AT
is set; SSPxIF is set if interru pt on S t art detect is
enabled.
3. Master sends matching high address with R/W
bit clear; UA bi t of the SSPx STAT register is set.
4. Slave sends ACK and SSPxIF is set.
5. Software clears the SSPxIF bit.
6. Software reads received address from SSPxBUF
clearing the BF flag.
7. Slave loads low address into SSPxADD,
releasi ng SCLx.
8. Master sends matching low address byte to the
slave; UA bit is set.
9. Slave sends ACK and SSPxIF is set.
10. Slave clears SSPxIF.
11. Slave reads the received matching address
from SSPxBUF clearing BF.
12. Slave loads high address into SSPxADD.
13. Master clocks a data byte to the slave and cloc ks
out the slaves ACK on the 9th SCLx pulse;
SSPxIF is set.
14. If SEN bit of SSPxCON2 is set, CKP is cleared
by hardware and the clock is stretched.
15. Slave clears SSPxIF.
16. Slave reads the received byte from SSPxBUF
clearing BF.
17. If SEN i s set the sl ave sets CKP t o releas e the
SCLx.
18. Steps 13-17 repeat for each received byte.
19. Master sen ds Stop to end the transm is si on.
15.5.5 10-BIT ADDRESSING WITH ADDRESS
OR DATA HOLD
Reception using 10-bit addressing with AHEN or
DHEN set is the same as with 7-bit modes. The only
diff eren ce is th e nee d to update the SSPxADD register
using the UA bit. All functionality, specifically when the
CKP bit is cleared and SCLx line is held low are the
same. Figure 15-21 can be used as a reference of a
slave in 10-bit addressing with AHEN set.
Figure 15-22 shows a standard waveform for a slave
transmitter in 10-bit Addressing mode.
Note: Updates to the SSPxADD register are not
all owed until after the ACK sequence.
Note: If the low address does not match, SSPxIF
and UA are still set so that the slave soft-
ware can set SSPxADD back to the high
address. BF is not set because there is no
match. CKP is unaffected.

15.5.6 CLOCK STRETCHING
Clock stretching occurs when a device on the bus
holds the SCLx line low effectively pausing communi-
cation. The slave may stretch the clock to allow more
time to handle dat a or p repare a respon se for the mas-
ter device. A master device is not concerned with
stretching as anytime it is active on the bus and not
transferring data it is stretching. Any stretching done
by a slave is invisible to the master software and han-
dled by the hardware that generates SCLx.
The CKP bit of the SSPxCON1 register is used to
control stretching in software. Any time the CKP bit is
cleared, the module will wait for the SCLx line to go
low and then hold it. Setting CKP will release SCLx
and allow more communication.
15.5.6.1 Normal Clock Stretching
Following an ACK if the R/W bit of SSPxSTAT is set, a
read request, the slave hardware will clear CKP. This
allows the slave time to update SSPxBUF with data to
transfer to the master. If the SEN bit of SSPxCON2 is
set, the slave hardware will always stretch the clock
after th e ACK sequen ce . Once the slav e is read y; CKP
is set by software and communication resumes.
15.5.6.2 10-bit Addressing Mode
In 10-bit Addressing mode, when the UA bit is set, the
clock is always stretched. This is the only time the
SCLx is stretched without CKP being cleared. SCLx is
released immediately after a write to SSPxADD.
15.5.6.3 Byte NACKing
When the AHEN bit of SSPxCON3 is set; CKP is
cleared by hardware after the 8th falling edge of SCLx
for a received matching address byte. When the
DHEN bit of SSPxCON3 is set; CKP is cleared after
the 8th falling edge of SCLx for received data.
Stretching after the 8th falling edge of SCLx allows the
slave to look at the received address or data and
decide if it wants to ACK the received data.
15.5.7 CLOCK SYNCHRONIZATION AND
THE CKP BIT
Any time the CKP bit is cleared, the module will wait
for the SCLx line to go low and then hold it. However,
clearing the CKP bit will not assert the SCLx output
low until the SCLx output is already sampled low.
Therefore, the CKP bit will not assert the SCLx line
until an external I2C master device has already
asserted the SCLx line. The SCLx output will remain
low until the CKP bit is set and all other devices on the
I2C bus h ave released SCLx. This ensures that a write
to the CKP bit will not violate the minimum high time
requirem ent for SCLx (see Figure 15-23).
FIGURE 15-23: CLOCK SYNCHRONIZATION TIMING
Note 1: The BF bit has no effect on whether the
clock will be stretched or not. This is
different than previous versions of the
module that would not stretch the clock,
clear CKP, if SSPxBUF was read before
the 9th falling edge of SCLx.
2: Previous versions of the module did not
stretch the clock for a transmission if
SSPxBUF was loaded before the 9th fall-
ing edg e of SCLx. It is now always cleared
for read requests.
Note: Previous versions of the module did not
stretch the clock if the second address byte
did not match.

15.5.8 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 the slave addressed
by the ma ster device. The e xc ep tion 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 a reserved address in the
I2C protocol, defined as address 0x00. When the
GCEN bit of the SSPxCON2 register is set, the slave
module will automatically ACK the reception of this
address regardless of the value stored in SSPxADD.
After the slave clocks in an address of all zeros with the
R/W bit clear, an i nterrupt is generate d and slave soft-
ware can read SSPxBUF and respond. Figure 15-24
shows a general call reception sequence.
In 10-bit Address mode, the UA bit will not be set on
the reception of the general call address. The slave
will prepare to receive the second byte as data, just as
it would in 7-bit mode.
If the AHEN bit of the SSPxCON3 register is set, just
as with any other address reception, the slave
hardware will stretch the clock after the 8th falling
edge of SCLx. The slave must then set its ACKDT
value and release the clock with communication
progressing as it would normally.
FIGURE 15-24: SLAVE MODE GENERAL CALL ADDRESS SEQUENCE
15.5.9 SSPx MASK REGISTER
An SSPx Mask (SSPxMSK) register (Register 15-5) is
available in I2C Slave mode as a mask for the value
held in the SSPxSR register during an address
comparison operation. A zero (‘0’) bit in the SSPxMSK
register has the effect of making the corresponding bit
of the received address a “don’t care”.
This register is reset to all ‘1s upon any Reset
condition and, therefore, has no effect on standard
SSPx operation until written with a mask value.
The SSPx Mask register is active during:
7-bit Address mode: address compare of A<7:1>.
10-bit Add ress mode: ad dress compa re of A<7:0>
only. The SSPx mask has no effect during the
reception of the first (high) byte of the address.

15.6 I2C Master Mode
Master mode is enabled by setting and clearing the
appropri ate SSPxM bit s in the SSPxCON1 register an d
by setting the SSPxEN bit. In Master mode, the SCLx
and SDAx lines are set as inputs and are manipulated
by the MSSPx hardware.
Master mode of operation is supported by interrupt
generation on the detection of the Start and Stop con-
ditions . The S t op (P) and S t art (S) bit s are clea red fro m
a Reset or when the MSSPx module is disabled. Con-
trol of the I 2C bus may be taken when the P bit is set,
or the bus is Idle.
In Firmware Controlled Master mode, user code
conducts all I2C bus operations based on Start and
Stop bit condition detection. Start and Stop condition
detection is the only active circuitry in this mode. All
other communication is done by the user software
directly manipulating the SDAx and SCLx lines.
The followi ng events will caus e the SSPx Interrupt Flag
bit, SSPxIF, to be set (SSPx interrupt, if enabled):
Start condition detected
Stop condition detected
Data transfer byte transmitted/received
Acknowledge transmi tted/ rece ived
Repea ted Start gene rate d
15.6.1 I2C MASTER MODE OPERATION
The master device generates all of the serial clock
pulses and the S t a rt and Stop conditions. A tra nsfer i s
ended with a Stop condition or with a Repeated Start
condition. Since the Repeated Start condition is also
the begi nning of the ne xt seria l transfer, the I2C bus will
not be released.
In Master Transmitter mode, serial data is output
through SDAx, while SCLx output s the serial clock. Th e
first byte transmitted contains the slave address of the
receiving device (7 bits) and the Read/Write (R/W) bit.
In this case, the R/W bit wi ll be lo gic ‘0’. S erial data is
transmi tted eight bits at a time. Aft er each by te is trans -
mitted, an Acknowledge bit is received. Start and Stop
conditions are output to indicate the beginning and the
end of a serial transfer.
In Master Rec eive mode, the firs t byte transmitte d con-
tains the slave address of the transmitting device
(7 bits) and th e R/W bit. In this c ase, the R/W bit w ill b e
logic ‘1’. Thus, the first byte transmitted is a 7-bit slave
address followed by a ‘1’ to indicate the receive bit.
Serial data is received via SDAx, while SCLx outputs
the serial clock. Serial data is received eight bits at a
time. Af ter each byte is rece ived, an Acknowl edge bit is
transmitted. Start and Stop conditions indicate the
beginning and end of transmission.
A Baud Rate Generator is used to set the clock
frequency output on SCLx. See Section 15.7 “Baud
Rate Generator” for more detail.
Note 1: The MSSPx module, when configured in
I2C Master mode, does not allow queue-
ing of eve nt s. Fo r instan ce , the user is not
allowed to initiate a Start condition and
immediately write the SSPxBUF register
to initiate transmission before the Start
condition is complete. In this case, the
SSPxBUF will not be written to and the
WCOL bit will be set, indicating that a
write to the SSPxBUF did not occur
2: When in Master mode, Start/Stop
detection is masked and an interrupt is
generated when the SEN/PEN bit is
cleared and the generation is complete.

15.6.2 CLOCK ARBITRATION
Clock arbitration occurs when the master, during any
receive, transmit or Repeated Start/Stop condition,
releases the SCLx pin (SCLx allowed to float high).
When the SCLx pin is allowed to float high, the Baud
Rate Generator (BRG) is suspended from counting
unti l the SCLx pin is act ually sa mpled high . When t he
SCLx pin is sampled high, the Baud Rate Generator is
reloaded with the contents of SSPxADD<7:0> and
begins counting. This ensures that the SCLx 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 15-25).
FIGURE 15-25: BAUD RATE GENERATOR TIMING WITH CLOCK ARBITRATION
15.6.3 WCOL STATUS FLAG
If the user writes the SSPxBUF when a Start, Restart,
Stop, Recei ve or T rans mit s equen ce is in p rogress , the
WCOL is set and the contents of the buffer are
unchanged (the write does not occur). Any time the
WCOL bit is set it indicates tha t an action on SSPxBUF
was attempted while the module was not Idle.

15.6.4 I2C MASTER MODE START
CONDITION TIMING
To initiate a Start condition (Figure 15-26), the user
sets the Start Enable bit, SEN, of the SSPxCON2 reg-
ister. If the SDAx and SCLx pi ns are s am ple d hi gh, th e
Baud Rate Generator is reloaded with the contents of
SSPxADD<7:0> and starts its count. If SCLx and
SDAx are both sampled high when the Baud Rate
Generator times out (TBRG), the SDAx pin is driven
low. The action of the SDAx being driven low while
SCLx is high is the Start co nditio n and causes the S bit
of the SSPxSTAT1 register to be set. Following this,
the Baud R ate Ge ne rator is reloaded w ith the c ont ents
of SSPxADD<7:0> and resumes its count. When the
Baud Rate Generator times out (TBRG), the SEN bit of
the SSPxCON2 register will be automatically cleared
by hardware; the Baud Rate Generator is suspended,
leaving the SDAx line held low and the Start condition
is complete.
FIGURE 15-26: FIRST START BIT TIMING
Note 1: If at the beginning of the Start condition,
the SDAx and SCLx pins are already sam-
pled low, or if during the Start condition,
the SCLx line is sampled low before the
SDAx line is driven low, a bus collision
occurs, the Bus Collision Interrupt Flag,
BCLxIF, is set, the Start condition is
aborted and the I2C module is reset into
its Idle state.

START CONDITION TIMING
A Repeated S tart conditi on (Figure 15-27) occurs when
the RSEN bit of the SSPxCON2 register is pro-
gram me d h igh and the master state mach ine is no lon-
ger active. When the RSEN bit is set, the SCLx pin is
asserted low. When the SCLx pin is sampled low, the
Baud Rate Generator is loaded and begins counting.
The SDAx pin is released (brought high) for one Baud
Rate Generator count (TBRG). When the Baud Rate
Generator times out, if SDAx is sampled high, the SCLx
pin will be deasserted (brought high). When SCLx is
sampled high, the Baud Rate Generator is reloaded
and begins counting. SDAx and SCLx must be sam-
pled high for one TBRG. This action is then followed by
assertion of the SDAx pin (SDAx = 0) for one TBRG
while SCLx is high. SCLx is asserted low. Following
this, the RSEN bit of the SSPxCON2 register will be
automat ically cleared an d the Baud Rate Generator will
not be reloaded, leaving the SDAx pin held low. As
soon as a Start condition is detected on the SDAx and
SCLx pins, the S bit of the SSPxSTAT register will be
set. The SSPxIF bit will not be set until the Baud Rate
Generat or has tim ed out .

15.6.6 I2C MASTER MODE TRANSMISSION
Transmission of a data byte, a 7-bit address or the
other half of a 10-bit address is accom plished by simply
writing a value to th e SSPxBUF register. This a ction will
set the Buffer Full fla g b it, BF, and allow t he Bau d Ra te
Generator to begin counting and start the next trans-
mission. Each bit of address/data will be shifted out
onto the SDAx pin after the falling edge of SCLx is
asserte d. SCLx is hel d lo w for o ne Ba ud R at e G ene ra-
tor rollover count (TBRG). Data should be valid before
SCLx is released high. When the SCLx pi n is released
high, it is he ld that way for TBRG. The data on the SDAx
pin must rem ain st abl e for that duratio n and some hol d
time af ter the next fa lling edge of SCL x. After the e ighth
bit is shifted out (the falling edge of the eighth clock),
the BF flag is cleared and the master releases SDAx.
This allows the slave device being addressed to
respond with an ACK bit d uring the n inth bi t time if an
addr es s m at c h oc cu r red , o r if d a ta wa s rec ei v ed p rop -
erly. The status of ACK is written into the ACKSTAT bit
on the rising edge of the ninth clock. If the master
receive s an Ac knowled ge, the Acknow ledg e S tatus bit,
ACKSTA T, is cleare d. If not, the bit is set. Af ter the nin th
clock, the SSPxIF bi t is set a nd the m aster clock (Bau d
Rate Generator) is suspended until the next data byte
is loaded into the SSPxBUF, leaving SCLx low and
SDAx unchanged (Figure 15-28).
After th e write to t he SSPxBUF, each b it of the addres s
will be shifted out on the falling edge of SCLx until all
seven address bits and the R/W bit are completed. On
the falling edge of the eighth clock, the master will
release the SDAx pin, allowing the slave to respond
with an Acknowledge. On the falling edge of the ninth
clock, the master will sample the SDAx pin to see if the
address was recognized by a slave. The status of the
ACK bit is loaded into the ACKSTAT Status bit of the
SSPxCON2 register. Following the falling edge of the
ninth clock transmission of the address, the SSPxIF is
set, the BF flag is c leared and t he Baud Rate Generator
is turned off until another write to the SSPxBUF takes
place, holding SCLx low and allowing SDAx to float.
15.6.6.1 BF Status Flag
In Transmit mode, the BF b it o f th e SSPx STAT register
is set when the CPU writes t o SSPxBUF and i s cleared
when all 8 bits are shifted out.
15.6.6.2 WCOL Status Flag
If the user writes the SSPxBUF when a transmit is
already in progress (i.e., SSPxSR is still shifting out a
data byte), the WCOL is set and the contents of the
buffer are unchanged (the write does not occur).
WCOL must be cleared by software before the next
transmission.
15.6.6.3 ACKSTAT Status Flag
In Transmit mode, t he ACKSTAT bit of the SSPxCO N2
register is cleared when the slave has sent an
Acknowledge (ACK =0) and is set when the slave
does not Acknowledge (ACK =1). A slave sends an
Acknowledge when it has recognized its address
(including a general call), or when the slave has
properly received its data.
15.6.6.4 Typical Transmit Sequence:
1. The user generates a Start condition by setting
the SEN bit of the SSPxCON2 register.
2. SSPxIF is set by hardware on co mplet ion of the
Start.
3. SSPxIF is cleared by software.
4. The MSSPx module will wait the required start
time before any other ope rati on takes place.
5. The user loads the SSPxBUF with the slave
address to transmit.
6. Address is shifted out the SDAx pin until all eight
bits are transmitted. Transmission begins as
soon as SSPxBUF is written to.
7. The MSSPx module shifts in the ACK bit from
the slave device and writes its value into the
ACKSTAT bit of the SSPxCON2 register.
8. The MSSPx module generates an interrupt at
the end of the ninth clock cycle by setting the
SSPxIF bit.
9. The user loads the SSPxBUF with eight bits of
data.
10. Data is shifted out the SDAx pin until all eight
bits are transmitted.
11. The MSSPx module shifts in the ACK bit from
the slave device and writes its value into the
ACKSTAT bit of the SSPxCON2 register.
12. Steps 8-11 are repeated for all transmitted data
bytes.
13. The user generates a Stop or Restart condition
by setting the PEN or RSEN bits of the
SSPxCON2 register . Interrupt is generated once
the Stop/Restart condition is complete.

15.6.7 I2C MASTER MODE RECE PTI ON
Master mode reception (Figure 15-29) is enabled by
programming the Receive Enable bit, RCEN, of the
SSPxCON2 register.
The Baud Rate Generator begins counting and on each
rollove r, the st ate of the SCLx pin changes (high-to-low/
low-to-high) and data is shifted into the SSPxSR. After
the falling edge of the eighth clock, the receive enable
flag is automatically cleared, the contents of the
SSPxSR are loaded into the SSPxBUF, the BF flag bit
is set, the SSPxIF flag bit is set and the Baud Rate
Generator is suspended from counting, holding SCLx
low. The MSSPx 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 receptio n by set-
ting the Acknowledge Se quence Enabl e bit, ACKEN, of
the SSPxCON2 register.
15.6.7.1 BF Status Flag
In receiv e op era tion , the BF bit is set whe n an add res s
or data byte is loaded into SSPxBUF from SSPxSR. It
is cleared when the SSPxBUF register is read.
15.6.7.2 SSPx O V Stat us Flag
In receive operation, the SSPxOV bit is set when eight
bits are receiv ed into the SS PxSR and the BF fl ag bit is
already set from a previous reception.
15.6.7.3 WCOL Status Flag
If the user writes the SSPxBUF when a receive is
already in progress (i.e., SSPxSR is still shifting in a
data byte), the WCOL bit is set and the contents of the
buffer are unchanged (the write does not occur).
15.6.7.4 Typical Receive Sequence:
1. The user generates a Start condition by setting
the SEN bit of the SSPxCON2 register.
2. SSPxIF is set by hardware on co mplet ion of the
Start.
3. SSPxIF is cleared by software.
4. User writes SSPxBUF with the slav e addr ess to
transmit and the R/W bit set.
5. Address is shifted out the SDAx pin until all eight
bits are transmitted. Transmission begins as
soon as SSPxBUF is written to.
6. The MSSPx module shifts in the ACK bit from
the slave device and writes its value into the
ACKSTAT bit of the SSPxCON2 register.
7. The MSSPx module generates an interrupt at
the end of the ninth clock cycle by setting the
SSPxIF bit.
8. User sets the RCEN bit of the SSPxCON2 regis-
ter and the Master clocks in a byte from the slave.
9. After the 8th falling edge of SCLx, SSPxIF and
BF are set.
10. Master clears SSPxIF and reads the received
byte from SSPxUF, clears BF.
11. M aster sets ACK value sent to slave in ACKDT
bit of the SSPxCON2 register and initiates the
ACK by setting the ACKEN bit.
12. Masters ACK is clocked out to the slave and
SSPxIF is set.
13. User clears SSPxIF.
14. Steps 8-13 are repeated for each received byte
from the slave .
15. Master sends a not ACK or Stop to end
communication.
Note: The MSSPx module must be in an Idle
state before the RCEN bit is set or the
RCEN bit will be disregarded.

15.6.8 ACKNOWLEDGE SEQUENCE
TIMING
An Acknowledge sequence is enabled by setting the
Acknowledge Sequence Enable bit, ACKEN, of the
SSPxCON2 register . When this bit is set, the SCLx pin is
pulled low and the contents of the Acknowledge data bit
are presented on the SDAx pin. If the user wishes to
generate an Acknowledge, then the ACKDT bit should
be cleared. If not, the user should set the ACKDT bit
before starting an Acknowledge sequence. The Baud
Rate Generator then counts for one rollover period
(TBRG) and the SCLx pin is deasserted (pulled high).
When the SCLx pin is sampled high (clock arbitration),
the Baud Rate Generator counts for TBRG. The SCLx pin
is then pulled low. Following this, the ACKEN bit i s auto-
matically c leared, the Baud Rate G enerator is turned of f
and the MSSPx module then goes into Idle mode
(Figure 15-30).
15.6.8.1 WCOL Status Flag
If the user writes the SSPxBUF when an Acknowledge
sequence is in progress, then WCOL is set and the
contents of the buffer are unchanged (the write does
not occur ).
15.6.9 STOP CONDITION TIMING
A Stop bit is asserted on the SDAx pin at the end of a
receive/transmit by setting the Stop Sequence Enable
bit, PEN, of the SSPxCON2 register. At the end of a
receive/transmit, the SCLx line is held low after the
falling edge of th e ninth clock . When t he PEN bi t is se t,
the master will assert the SDAx line low. When the
SDAx line is sampled low, the Baud Rate Generator is
reloaded and counts down to ‘0’. When the Baud Rate
Generator times out, the SCLx pin will be brought high
and one TBRG (Baud Rate Generator rollover count)
later, the SDAx pin will be de asse rted. Whe n the SDA x
pin is sampled high while SCLx is high, the P bit of the
SSPxSTAT register is set. A TBRG later, the PEN bit is
cleared and the SSPxIF bit is set (Figure 15-31).
15.6.9.1 WCOL Status Flag
If the user writes the SSPxBUF when a S t op sequenc e
is in progress, then the WCOL bit is set and the

15.6.11 EFFECTS OF A RESET
A Reset disables the MSSPx module and terminates

15.6.12 MULTI-MASTER MODE
In Multi-Master mode, the interrupt generation on the

determin ation of when the bu s is free. The S top (P) an d
Start (S) bits are cleared from a Reset or when the
MSSPx modu le is dis abled. Control of th e I2C bus may
be taken when the P bit of the SSPxSTAT register is
set, or the bus is Idle, with both the S and P bits clear.
When the bus is busy, enabling the SSPx interrupt will
generate the interrupt when the Stop condition occurs.
In multi-master operation, the SDAx line must be
monitored for arbitration to see if the signal level is the
expected output level. This check is performed by
hardware with the result placed in the BCLxIF bit.

BUS COLL ISIO N AND BUS
ARBITRATION
Multi-Master mode support is achieved by bus
arbitration. When the master outputs address/data bits
onto the SDAx pin, arbitration takes place when the
master outputs a ‘1 on SDAx, by letting SDAx float high
and another master asserts a ‘0’. When the SCLx pin
floats high, data should be stable. If the expected data
on SDAx is a ‘1 and the dat a samp led on the SDAx pin
is ‘ 0’, then a bus collision has taken place. The master
will set the Bus Collision Interrupt Flag, BCLxIF, and
reset the I2C port to its Idle state (Figure 15-32).
If a transmit was in progress when the bus collision
occurred, the transmission is halted, the BF flag is
cleared, the SDAx and SCLx lines are deasserted and
the SSPxBUF can be written to. When the user
servic es the bus collis ion Interr upt Servic e 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 SDAx and SCLx
lines are deasserted and the respective control bits in
the SSPxCON2 register are cleared. When the user
services the bus collision Interrupt Service Routine and
if the I2C bus is free, the user can resume
communication by asserting a Start condition.
The master will contin ue to monitor the SDAx and SCLx
pins. If a S top condition occurs, the SSPxIF bit will be set.
A write to the SSPxBUF will start the transmission of
data at the first data bit, regardless of where the
transmitter left off when the bus collision occurred.
In Multi-Master mode, the interrupt generation on the
detection of Start and Stop conditions allows the
determination of when the bus is free. Control of the I2C
bus can be taken when the P bit is set in the SSPxST AT
register, or the bus is Idle and the S and P bits are
cleared.

15.6.13.1 Bus Collision During a Start
Condition
During a Start condition, a bus collision occurs if:
a) SDAx or SCLx are sampled low at t he begin ning
of the Start condition (Figure 15-33).
b) SCLx is sampled low before SDAx is asserted
low ( Figure 15-34).
Duri ng a Sta rt condi tion, both the SDAx and the SCLx
pins are monitored.
If the SDAx pin is already low, or the SCLx pin is
already low, then all of the following occur:
the Start condition is ab orted,
the BCLxIF flag is set and
the MSSPx module is reset to its Idle state
(Figure 15-33).
The Start condition begins with the SDAx and SCLx
pins deasserted. When the SDAx pin is sampled high,
the Baud R ate Genera tor is loa ded and coun ts dow n. If
the SCLx pin is sample d lo w while SDAx is high , a bu s
collision occurs because it is assumed that another
master is attempting to drive a data ‘1 during the Start
condition.
If the SDAx pin is sampled low during this count, the
BRG is reset and the SDAx line is asserted early
(Figure 15-35). If, however, a ‘1’ is sampled on the
SDAx pin, the SDAx pin is asserted low at the end of
the BRG count. The Baud Rate Generator is then
reloaded and counts down to zero; if the SCLx pin is
sampled as ‘0’ during this t ime, a bu s collis ion does not
occur. At the end of the BRG count, the SCLx pin is
asserted low.
FIGURE 15-33: BUS COLLISION DURING START CONDITION (SDAx ONLY)
Note: The reason that bus collision is not a fac-
tor during a Start condition is that no two
bus masters can assert a Start condition
at the exact same time. Therefore, one
master wil l always asse rt SDAx before the
other. This conditi on does not ca use a bus
collision because the two masters must be
allowed to arbitrate the first address fol-
lowing the S tart condi tion. If the addre ss is
the same, arbitration must be allowed to
continue into the data portion, Repeated
Start or Stop conditions.

15.6.13.2 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 SDAx when SCLx
goes from low level to high level (Case 1).
b) SCLx goes low before SDAx is asserted low,
indicating that another master is attempting to
transmit a data ‘1’ (Case 2).
When the u ser releas es SDAx and the pin is all owed to
float high, the BRG is loaded with SSPxADD and
counts down to zero. The SCLx pin is then deasserted
and when sa mp led high, the SD Ax pin is samp led .
If SDAx is low , a bus c ollision has occurred (i.e., another
master is attempting to transmit a data ‘0’, Figure 15-36).
If SDAx is sampled high, the BRG is reloaded and
begins counting. If SDAx goes from high-to-low before
the BRG times out, no bus collision occurs because no
two masters can as sert SDAx at exactly the sam e time.
If SCLx goes from high-to-low before the BRG times
out and SDAx has not already been asserted, a bus
collision occurs. In this case, another master is
attempting to transmit a data ‘1’ during the Repeated
Start condition, see Figure 15-37.
If, at the end of the BRG time-out, both SCLx and SDAx
are still high, the SDAx pin is driven low and the BRG
is reloaded and begins counting. At the end of the
count, regardless of the status of the SCLx pin, the
SCLx pin is driven low and the Repeated Start
conditi on is complete.

15.6.13.3 Bus Collision During a Stop
Condition
Bus collision occurs during a Stop condition if:
a) After the SDAx pin has been deasserted and
allowed to float high, SDAx is sampled low after
the BRG ha s timed out (Case 1).
b) After the SCLx pin is deasserted, SCLx is
sampled low before SDAx goes high (Case 2).
The Stop condition begins with SDAx asserted low.
When SD Ax is sam pled l ow, the SCL x pin is a llowed to
floa t. Wh en t he p in i s sa mpled hig h (c loc k arbi tr atio n),
the Baud Ra te Generator is load ed with SSPxADD an d
count s down to z ero. Af te r the BRG t imes o ut, SDAx is
sampled. If SDAx is sampled low, a bus collision has
occurred. This is due to another master attempting to
drive a data ‘0’ (Figure 15-38). If the SCLx pin is
sampled low before SDAx is allowed to float high, a bus
collis ion occ urs. Thi s is anoth er case of a nother m aster
attempting to drive a data ‘0’ (Figure 15-39).

15.7 Baud Rate Generator
The MSSPx module has a Baud Ra te Gene rato r avail-
able for clock generation in both I2C and SPI Master
modes. The Baud Rate Generator (BRG) reload value
is placed in the SSPxADD register (Register 15-6).
When a write occurs t o SSPxBUF, the Ba ud Rate Gen-
erator will automatically begin counting down.
Once the given operati on is complete, the i nternal clock
will automatically stop counting and the clock pin will
remain in its last state.
An internal signal “Reload” in Figure 15-40 triggers the
value from SSPxADD to be loaded into the BRG
counter. This occurs twice for each oscillation of the
module clock line. The logic dictating when the reload
signal is asserted depends on the mode the MSSPx is
being operated in.
Table 15-4 demonstrates clock rates based on
instruction cycles and the BRG value loaded into
SSPxADD.

16.0 ENHANCED UNIVERSAL
SYNCHRONOUS
ASYNCHRONOUS RECEIVER
TRANSMITTER (EUSART)
The Enhanced Universal Synchronous Asynchronous
Receiver Transmitter (EUSART) module is a serial I/O
communications peripheral. It contains all the clock
generators, shift registers and data buffers necessary
to perform an input or output serial data transfer
independent of device program execution. The
EUSART, also known as a Serial Communications
Interface (SCI), can be configured as a full-duplex
asynchronous system or half-duplex synchronous
system. Full-Duplex mode is useful for
communications with peripheral systems, such as CRT
terminals and personal computers. Half-Duplex
Synchronous mode is intended for communications
with peripheral devices, such as A/D or D/A integrated
circuits, serial EEPROMs or other microcontrollers.
These device s typ icall y do n ot have inter nal cl ocks for
baud rate generation and require the external clock
signal provided by a master synchronous device.
The EUSART m odule includes the follow ing capabilities:
Full-duplex asynchronous transmit and receive
Two-character input buffer
One-ch arac ter out put buffer
Programmable 8-bit or 9-bit character length
Address detection in 9-bit mode
Input buffer overrun error detection
Received character framing error detection
Half-du ple x sy nc hron ous master
Half-du ple x sy nc hron ous slave
Programmable clock and data polarity
The EUSART module implements the following
additional features, making it ideally suited for use in
Local Interconnect Network (LIN) bus systems:
Automatic detection and cali bration of the baud rate
Wake-up on Break reception
13-bit Break cha r ac ter transm it
Block diagrams of the EUSART transmitter and
receiver are shown in Figure 16-1 and Figure 16-2.

These registers are detailed in Register 16-1,
Register 16-2 and Register 16-3, respectively.
For all modes of EUSART operation, the TRIS control
bits corresponding to the RXx/DTx and TXx/CKx pins
should be set to1’. The EUSART control will

16.1 EUSART Asynchronous Mode
The EUSART transmits and receives data using the
standard non-return-to-zero (NRZ) format. NRZ is
implemented with two levels: a VOH mark state which
represents a ‘1’ data bit, and a VOL space state which
represents a ‘0’ data bit. NRZ refers to the fact that
consecutively transmitted data bits of the same value
stay at the output l evel of that bit wi thout returning to a
neutral level between each bit transmission. An NRZ
transmission port idles in the mark state. Each character
transmission consists of one Start bit followed by eight
or nine data bits and is always terminated by one or
more Stop b its. The Start bit is always a space and the
Stop bits are always marks. The most common data
format is eight bits. Each transmitted bit persists for a
period of 1/(Baud R ate). An on-chip dedicated 8-bit/16-
bit Baud Rate Generator is used to derive standard
baud rate frequencies from the system oscillator. See
Table 16-5 for examples of baud rate configurations.
The EUSART transmits and receives the LSb first. The
EUSART’s transmitter and receiver are functionally
indepen dent, but share th e sa me dat a format and bau d
rate. Parity is not supported by the hardware, but can
be implemented in software and stored as the ninth
data b it.
16.1.1 EUSART ASYNCHRONOUS
TRANSMITTER
The EUSART transmitter block diagram is shown in
Figure 16-1. The heart of the transmitter is the serial
Transmit Shift Register (TSR), which is not directly
accessible by software. The TSR obtains its data from
the transmit buffer, which is the TXREGx register.
16.1.1.1 Enabling the Transmitter
The EUSART transmitter is enabled for asynchronous
operations by configuring the following three control
bits:
•TXEN = 1
SYNC = 0
SPEN = 1
All other EUSART control bits are assumed to be in
their default state.
Setting the TXEN bit of the TXST Ax register enables the
transmitter circuitry of the EUSART. Clearing the SYNC
bit of the TXSTAx register configures the EUSART for
asynchronous operation. Setting the SPEN bit of the
RCSTAx register enables the EUSART and
automatically configures the TXx/CKx I/O pin as an
output. If the TXx/CKx pin is shared with an analog
peripheral the analog I/O function must be disabled by
clearing the corresponding ANSEL bit.
16.1.1.2 Transmitting Data
A transmission is initiated by writing a character to the
TXREGx register. If this is the first character, or the
previous character has been completely flushed from
the TSR, the data in the TXREGx is immediately
transferred to the TSR re gister. If the T SR still contains
all or part of a previous character, the new character
data is held in the TXREGx until the Stop bit of the
previous character has been transmitted. The pending
character in the TXREGx is then transferred to the TSR
in one TCY immediately following the Stop bit
transmission. The transmission of the Start bit, data bits
and Stop bit sequence commences immediately
following the transfer of the data to the TSR from the
TXREGx.
16.1.1.3 Transmit Data Polarity
The polarity of the transmit data can be controlled with
the CKTXP bit of the BAUDCONx register. The default
state of this bit is 0’ which selects high true transmit
idle and data bits. Setting the CKTXP bit to1’ will invert
the trans mit dat a resultin g in low t rue idle an d data b its.
The CKTXP bit controls transmit data polarity only in
Asynchronous mode. In Synchronous mode the
CKTXP bit has a dif ferent function.
16.1.1.4 Transmit Interrupt Flag
The TXxIF interr upt f lag bit of the PIR 1/P IR3 register is
set whenever the EUSART transmitter is enabled and
no character is being held for transmission in the
TXREGx. In other words, the TXxIF bit is only clear
when the TSR is busy with a character and a new
character has been queued for transmission in the
TXREGx. The TXxIF flag bit is not cleared immediately
upon writing TXREGx. TXxIF becomes valid in the
second instruction cycle following the write execution.
Polling TXxIF immediately followi ng the TXREGx write
will return invalid results. The TXxIF bit is read-only, it
cannot be set or cleared by software.
The TXxIF interrupt can be enabled by setting the
TXxIE interrupt enable bit of the PIE1/PIE3 register.
However, the TXxIF flag bit will be set whenever the
TXREGx is empty, regardless of the state of TXxIE
enable bi t.
To use interru pts when t ransm itting dat a, set the TXx IE
bit only when there is more data to send. Clear the
TXxIE interrupt enable bit upon writing the last
character of the transmission to the TXREGx.
Note: The TXxIF transmitter interrupt flag is set
when the TXEN enable bit is set.
PIC18(L)F2X/4XK22
DS41412F-page 270 2010-2012 Microchip Technology Inc.
16.1.1.5 TSR Status
The TRMT bit of the TXSTAx register indicates the
status of the TSR register. This is a read-only bit. The
TRMT bit is set when the TSR register is empty and is
cleared when a character is transferred to the TSR
register from the TXREG x. The TRMT bit remains cle ar
until all bits have been shifted out of the TSR register.
No int errupt lo gic i s tied to this bi t, so th e user needs to
poll this bit to determine the TSR status.
16.1.1.6 Transmitting 9-Bit Characters
The EUSART supports 9-bit character transmissions.
When the TX9 bit of the TXSTAx register is set the
EUSAR T will shift nine bits out for each character trans-
mitted. The TX9D bit of the TXSTAx register is the
ninth, and Most Sign ifican t, dat a bit. When transmi tting
9-bit data, the TX9D data bit must be written before
writing the eight Least Signi ficant bit s into th e TXREGx.
All ni ne b its of data wi ll be tran sfe rred to t he T SR sh ift
register immediately after the TXREGx is written.
A special 9-bit Address mode is available for use with
multiple receivers. See Section 16.1.2.8 “Address
Detection” for more information on the Address mod e.
16.1.1.7 Asynchronous Transmission Setup:
1. Initialize the SPBRGHx:SPBRGx register pair
and the BRGH and BRG16 bits to achieve the
desired baud rate (see Section 16.4 “EUSART
Baud Rate Generator (BRG)”).
2. Set the RXx/DTx and TXx/CKx TRIS controls to
1’.
3. Enable the asy nch ron ous seri al port by clearin g
the SYNC bit and setting the SPEN bit.
4. If 9-bit tran sm ission is desired, s et th e TX9 co n-
trol bit. A set ninth data bit will indicate that the
eight Least Significant data bits are an address
when the receiver is set for address detection.
5. Set the CKTXP control bit if inverted transmit
data polarity is desired.
6. Enable the transmission by setting the TXEN
control bi t. This will cau se the TXxIF inte rrupt bit
to be set.
7. If interrupts are desired, set the TXxIE interrupt
enable bit. An interrupt will occur immediately
provided that the GIE/GIEH and PEIE/GIEL bits
of the INTCON register are also set.
8. If 9-bit transmission is selected, the ninth bit
should be loaded into the TX9D data bit.
9. Load 8-bit data into the TXREGx register. This
will start the transmission.

16.1.2 EUSART ASYNCHRONOUS
RECEIVER
The Asynchronous mode would typically be used in
RS-232 s y ste ms . Th e rec ei ve r bl ock di ag ram is sh ow n
in Figure 16-2. The data is received on the RXx/DTx
pin and drives the data recovery block. The data
recovery block is actually a high-speed shifter
operating at 16 times the baud rate, whereas the serial
Receive Shift Register (RSR) operates at the bit rate.
When all eight or nine bits of the character have been
shifted in, they are immediately transferred to a two
character First-In-First-Out (FIFO) memory. The FIFO
buffering allows reception of two complete characters
and the start of a third character before software must
start servicing the EUSART receiver. The FIFO and
RSR r egisters are not di rectly ac cessibl e by softwar e.
Access to the received data is via the RCREGx
register.
16.1.2.1 Enabling the Receiver
The EUSART receiver is enabled for asynchronous
operatio n by configuring the fol lowing three control bits:
CREN = 1
SYNC = 0
SPEN = 1
All other EUSART control bits are assumed to be in
their default state.
Setting the CREN bit of the RCSTAx register enables
the receiver circuitry of the EUSART. Clearing the
SYNC bit of the TXSTAx register configures the
EUSART for asynchronous operation. Setting the
SPEN bit of the RCSTAx register enables the
EUSART. The RXx/DTx I/O pin must be configured as
an input by setting the corresponding TRIS control bit.
If the RXx/DTx pin is shared with an analog peripheral
the analog I/O function must be disabled by clearing
the corresponding ANSEL bit.
16.1.2.2 Receiving Data
The receiver data recovery circuit initiates character
receptio n on t he fallin g edge of the first bit. Th e f irst bit,
also known as the Start bit, is always a zero. The data
recovery circuit co unt s one-h alf bi t time to the c enter of
the Start bit and verifies that the bit is still a zero. If it is
not a zero then the data recovery circuit aborts
character reception, without generating an error, and
resumes looking for the falling edge of the Start bit. If
the Start bit zero verification succeeds then the data
recovery circuit c ounts a full bit time to the ce nter of the
next bit. The bit is then sampled by a majority detect
circuit and the resultin g ‘0’ or ‘1’ is sh ifted int o the RSR.
This repeats until all data bits have been sampled and
shif ted into the RSR. One final bit time is measured and
the le ve l samp le d . Thi s is th e Stop bi t, w hic h is alwa ys
a ‘1’. If the data recovery circuit samples a ‘0’ in the
Stop bit position then a framing error is set for this
charact er , otherwise th e framing error is c leared for thi s
character. See Section 16.1.2.5 “Receive Framing
Error” for more information on framing errors.
Immediately after all data bits and the Stop bit have
been received, the character in the R SR is transferred
to the EUSART receive FIFO and the RCxIF interrupt
flag bit of th e PIR1/PIR3 regist er is set. The top ch arac-
ter in t he FIFO i s transfe rred out o f the FIFO by readin g
the RCREGx register.
16.1.2.3 Receive Data Polarity
The polarity of the receive data can be controlled with
the DTRXP bit of the BAUDCONx register. The default
state of this b it is ‘0’ wh ich select s h igh true rece ive idle
and dat a bits. Setting the DTRXP bit to ‘1’ will invert the
receive data re sulting in low true idle and da ta bit s. The
DTRXP bit controls receive data polarity only in Asyn-
chro nous mode. In Sy nchr ono us mod e th e DTRX P bit
has a different function.
Note: If the receive FIFO is overrun, no additional
characters will be received until the overrun
condition is cleared. See Section 16.1.2.6
“Receive Overrun Error” for more
information on overrun errors.
2010-2012 Microchip Technology Inc. DS41412F- page 273
PIC18(L)F2X/4XK22
16.1.2.4 Receive Interrupts
The RCxIF i nterrupt flag b it of the PI R1/PIR3 regist er is
set whenever the EUSART receiver is enabled and
there is an unread character in the receive FIFO. The
RCxIF interrupt flag bit is read-only, it cannot be set or
clea red by software.
RCxIF interrupts are enabled by setting the following
bits:
RCxIE interrupt enable bit of the PIE1/PIE3
register
PEIE/GIEL peripheral interrupt enable bit of the
INTCON register
GIE/GIEH global interrupt enable bit of the
INTCON register
The RCxI F interru pt flag bi t will be set when there is an
unread c haract er in the FIF O, regardless of the st ate of
inter rupt ena ble bit s .
16.1.2.5 Receive Framing Error
Each character in the receive FIFO buffer has a
corresponding framing error Status bit. A framing error
indic ates t hat a Stop bit was not se en at t he expec ted
time. The framing error status is accessed via the
FERR bit of the RCSTAx register. The FERR bit
represen ts the s ta tus o f the top u nread charac ter in the
receive FIFO. Therefore, the FERR bit must be read
before reading the RCREG.x
The FERR bit is read-only and only applies to the top
unre ad char acter in the re ceive F IFO. A framing error
(FERR = 1) does not preclude reception of additional
characters. It is not necessary to clear the FERR bit.
Reading the next character from the FIFO buffer will
advance the FIFO to the next character and the next
corresponding framing error.
The FERR bit can be forced clear by clearing the SPEN
bit of the RCSTAx register which resets the EUSART.
Cleari ng the CRE N bit of the RCSTAx regis ter does not
affect the FERR bit. A framing error by itself does not
generate an interrupt.
16.1.2.6 Receive Overrun Error
The receive FIFO buffer can hold two characters. An
overrun error will be genera ted if a th ird charac ter , in it s
entirety , is received before the FIFO is accessed. When
this happens the OERR bit of the RCSTAx register is
set. The characters already in the FIFO buffer can be
read but no additional characters will be received until
the error is c leared. The error mu st be cleared by eith er
clearing the CREN bit of the RCSTAx register or by
resetting the EUSART by clearing the SPEN bit of the
RCSTAx regist er.
16.1.2.7 Receiving 9-bit Characters
The EUSAR T support s 9-bit chara cter receptio n. When
the RX9 bit of the RCS TAx register is set, t he EUS AR T
will shift nine bits into the RSR for each character
received. The RX9D bit of the RCSTAx register is the
ninth and Most Significant data bit of the top unread
charact er i n t he rec eiv e FIFO . Whe n r ead ing 9-bit data
from the receive FIFO buffer, the RX9D data bit must
be read before reading the eight Least Significant bits
from the RCREGx.
16.1.2. 8 Addres s Detecti on
A special Address Detection mode is available for use
when multiple receivers share the same transmission
line, such as in RS-485 systems. Address detection is
enabled by setting the ADDEN bit of the RCSTAx
register.
Address detection requires 9-bit character reception.
When address detection is enabled, only characters
with the ninth data bit set will be transferred to the
receive FIFO buffe r , thereby setti ng the RCxIF interru pt
bit. All other characters will be ignored.
Upon receiving an address character, user software
determines if the address matches its own. Upon
address match, user software must disable address
detection by clearing the ADDEN bit before the next
Stop bit oc cu rs. When user sof tware detect s th e end of
the message, determined by the message protocol
used, software places the receiver back into the
Address Detection mode by setting the ADDEN bit.
Note: If all receive characters in the receive
FIFO hav e fram ing erro rs, repea ted rea ds
of the RCREGx will not clear the FERR
bit.

16.2 Clock Accuracy with
Asynchronous Operation
The factory calibrates the internal oscillator block
output (HFINTOSC). However, the HFINTOSC
frequency may drift as VDD or temperature changes,
and this directly affects the asynchronous baud rate.
Two methods may be used to adjust the baud rate
clock, but both require a reference clock source of
some kind.
The first (preferred) method uses the OSCTUNE
register to adjust the HFINTOSC output. Adjusting the
value in the OSCTUNE register allows for fine
resolution changes to the system clock source. See
Section 2.6 “Internal Clock Modes” for more
information.
The other method adjusts the value in the Baud Rate
Generator. This can be done automatically with the
Auto-Baud Detect feature (see Section 16.4.1 “Auto-
Baud Detect”). There may not be fine enough
resolution when adjusting the Baud Rate Generator to
compensate for a gradual change in the peripheral
clock frequency.

16.4 EUSART Baud Rate Generator
(BRG)
The Baud Rate Generator (BRG) is an 8-bit or 16-bit
timer that is dedicated to the support of both the
asynchronous and synchronous EUSART operation.
By defau lt, the BRG ope rates in 8-bit mode . Setting th e
BRG16 bit of the BAUDCONx register selects 16-bit
mode.
The SPBRGHx:SPBRGx register pair determines the
period of the free running baud rate timer. In
Asynchronous mode the multiplier of the baud rate
period is determined by both the BRGH bit of the
TXSTAx register and the BRG16 bit of the BAUDCONx
register . In Synchronous mode, th e BRGH bit is ignored.
Table 16-3 contains the formulas for determining the
baud rate . Example 16-1 provides a sam ple calcul ation
for determining the baud rate and baud rate error.
Typical baud rates and error values for various
Asynchronous modes have been computed for your
convenience and are shown in Table 16-5. It may be
advantageous to use the high baud rate (BRGH = 1),
or the 16-bit BRG (BRG16 = 1) to reduce th e baud rate
error. The 16-bit BRG mode is used to achieve slow
baud rates for fast oscillator frequencies.
Writing a new value to the SPBRGHx, SPBRGx
register pair causes the BRG timer to be reset (or
cleared). This ensures that the BRG does not wait for a
timer overflow before outputting the new baud rate.
If the s ys tem c lo ck is changed during an active receiv e
operation, a receive error or data loss may result. To
avoid thi s problem , check the status of the RCID L bit to
make sure that the receive operation is Idle before
changing the system clock.

16.4.1 AUTO-BAUD DETECT
The EUSART module supports automatic detection
and calibration of the baud rate.
In the Auto-Baud Detect (ABD) mode, the clock to the
BRG is reversed. Rather than the BRG clocking the
incomi ng R Xx si gna l, the RXx s ignal is t iming the BR G.
The Baud Rate Generator is used to time the pe riod of
a receiv ed 55h (ASCII “U ”) which is the Sync character
for the LIN bus. The unique feature of this character is
that it has five rising edges in cluding the S top bit ed ge.
Setting the ABDEN bit of the BAUDCONx register
starts the auto-baud calibration sequence
(Section 16.4.2 “Auto-baud Overflow”). While the
ABD sequence takes place, the EUSART state
machine is held in Idle. On the first rising edge of the
receive line, after the Start bit, the SPBRGx begins
counting up using the BRG counter clock as shown in
Table 16-6. The f i fth r i si ng e dg e wi ll oc cu r o n t h e RX x/
DTx p in at the e nd of the eighth bit pe riod . At that time,
an accumulated value totaling the proper BRG period
is left in the SPBRGHx:SPBRGx register pair, the
ABDEN bit is automatically cleared, and the RCxIF
interrupt flag is set. A read operation on the RCREGx
needs to be performed to clear the RCxIF interrupt.
RCREGx content should be discarded. When
calibrating for modes that do not use the SPBRGHx
register the user can verify that the SPBRGx register
did not overflow by checking for 00h in the SPBRGHx
register.
The BRG au to-baud clock is d etermined by the BRG1 6
and BRGH bits as shown in Table 16-6. During ABD,
both the SPBRGHx and SPBRGx registers are used as
a 16-bit c ou nte r, independent of th e BR G 16 bit se ttin g.
While calibrating the baud rate period, the SPBRGHx
and SPBRGx registers are clocked at 1/8th the BRG
base clo ck rate. The resu lting byte meas urement is the
average bit time when clocked at full speed.
FIGURE 16-6: AUTOMATIC BAUD RATE CALIBRATION
Note 1: If the WUE bit is set with the ABDEN bit,
auto-bau d detection will occur on the byte
following the Break character (see
Section 16.4.3 “Auto-Wake-up on
Break”).
2: It is up to the user to determine that the
incoming character baud r ate is within the
range of the selected BRG clock source.
Some combinations of oscillator frequency
and EUSART baud rates are not possible.
3: During the auto-baud process, the auto-
baud counter starts counting at one. Upon
completion of the auto-baud sequence, to
achieve maximum accuracy, subtract one
from the SPBRGHx:SPBRGx register pair .

16.4.2 AUTO-BAUD OVERFLOW
During the course of automatic baud detection, the
ABDOVF bi t of the BAUDCONx re gister will be set if the
baud rate cou nte r ove rf lows bef or e the fifth risin g edg e
is detected on the RX pin. The ABDOVF bit indicates
that the counter has exceeded the maximum count that
can fit in th e 16 bits of the SPBRGHx:SPBR Gx regis ter
pair. After th e ABD OVF has been set , the co unt er con-
tinues to co unt until t he fifth rising ed ge is detect ed on
the RXx/DTx pin. Upon detecting the fifth RXx/DTx
edge, the hardware will set the RCxIF interrupt flag and
clear the ABDEN bit of the BAUDCONx register. The
RCxIF flag can be subsequently cleared by reading the
RCREGx. The ABDOVF flag can be cleared by soft-
ware directly.
To terminate the auto-baud process before the RCxIF
flag is set, clear the ABDEN bit then clear t he ABDOVF
bit. The ABDOVF bit will rem ain s et i f th e ABDEN b it is
not clear ed first.
16.4.3 AUTO-WAKE-UP ON BREAK
During Sleep mode, all clocks to the EUSART are
suspended. Because of this, the Baud Rate Generator
is inactive and a proper character reception cannot be
performed. The Auto-Wake-up feature allows the
controller to wake-up due to activity on the RXx/DTx
line. This feature is available only in Asynchronous
mode.
The Auto-Wake-up feature is enabled by setting the
WUE bit of the BAUDCONx register. Once set, the
normal rec ei ve s equ enc e on R Xx/ D Tx is dis abl ed, and
the EUSART remains in an Idle state, monitoring for a
wake-u p event indepen dent of the CPU mode. A wake-
up event consists of a high-to-low transition on the
RXx/DTx line. (This coincides with the start of a Sync
Break or a wake-up signal character for the LIN
protocol.)
The EUSART module generates an RCxIF interrupt
coincident with the wake-up event. The interrupt is
generated s ynchronously to the Q clocks in normal CPU
operating modes (Figure 16-7), and asynchronously if
the device is in Sleep mode (Figure 16-8). The interrupt
condition is cleared by read ing the R CREGx regi ster.
The WUE bit is automatically cleared by the low-to-high
transition on the RXx line at the end of the Break. This
signals to the user that the Break event is over. At this
point, the EUSART module is in Idle mode waiting to
receive the next character.
16.4.3.1 Special Considerations
Brea k Cha ract er
To avoid character errors or character fragments during
a wake-up event, the wake-up character must be all
zeros.
When the wake-up is enabled the function works
independent of the low time on the data stream. If the
WUE bit is set and a valid non-zero character is
receive d, the low time from the S tart bit to the first ris ing
edge will be interpreted as the wake-up event. The
remaining bits in the character will be received as a
fragmented character and subsequent characters can
result in framing or overrun errors.
Therefore, the ini tial cha racter in the transmi ssion mus t
be all ‘0s. This must be 10 or more bit times, 13-bit
times recommended for LIN bus, or any number of bit
times for standard RS-232 devices.
Oscillator Start-up Time
Oscillator start-up time must be considered, especially
in applications using oscillators with longer start-up
intervals (i.e., LP, XT or HS/PLL mode). The Sync
Break (or wake-up signal) character must be of
sufficient length, and be followed by a sufficient
interval , to allow eno ugh ti me fo r the se lecte d osc illat or
to start and provide proper initialization of the EUSART.
WUE Bit
The wake-up event causes a receive interrupt by
setting the RCxIF bit. The WUE bit is cleared by
hardware by a rising edge on RXx/DTx. The interrupt
condition is then cleared by software by reading the
RCREGx register and discarding its contents.
To ensure that no actual data is lost, check the RCIDL
bit to verify that a receive operation is not in process
before set ting the WU E bit. If a recei ve opera tion is n ot
occurring, the WUE bit may then be set just prior to
entering the Sleep mode.

16.4.4 BREAK CHARACTER SEQUENCE
The EUSART module ha s t he c apability of s en din g th e
special Break character sequen ces that are required by
the LIN bus standard. A Break character consists of a
Start bit, follo w ed by 12 ‘0’ bits and a Stop bit.
To send a Break character, set the SENDB and TXEN
bits of the TXSTAx register . The Break character trans-
mission is then initiate d b y a w ri te t o the TXREGx. The
value o f da ta written to TXRE Gx w i ll be i gn ored an d al l
0’s will be transmitted.
The SENDB bit is automatically reset by hardware af ter
the corresponding Stop bit is s ent . Th is al lo w s t he 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).
The TRMT bit of the TXST Ax register indic ates when the
transmit operation is active or Idle, jus t as it does during
normal transmission. See Figure 16-9 for the timing of
the Break character sequence.
16.4.4.1 Brea k and Sy nc Transmit Sequenc e
The following sequence will start a message frame
header made up of a Break, followed by an auto-baud
Sync byte. This sequence is typical of a LIN bus
master.
1. Configure the EUSART for the desired mode.
2. Set the TXEN and SENDB bits to enable the
Break sequence.
3. Load the TXREGx with a dummy character to
initiate transmission (the value is ignored).
4. Write ‘55h’ to TXREGx to load the Sync charac-
ter into the transmit FIFO buffer.
5. After the Break has been se nt, the SEND B bit is
reset by hardware and the Sync character is
then transm itte d.
When the TXREGx becomes empty, as indicated by
the TXxIF, the next data byte can be written to
TXREGx.
16.4.5 RECEIVING A BREAK CHARACTER
The Enhanced EUSART module can receive a Break
character in two ways.
The first method to detect a Break character uses the
FERR bit of the RCSTAx register and the Received
data as indicated by RCREGx. The Baud Rate
Generator is assumed to have been initialized to the
expected baud rate.
A Break charac ter has been received when;
RCxIF bit is set
FERR bit is set
RCREGx = 00h
The second method uses the Auto-Wake-up feature
described in Section 16.4.3 “Auto-Wake-up on
Break”. By enabling this feature, the EUSART will
sample the next two transitions on RXx/DTx, cause an
RCxIF interrupt, and receive the next data byte
follow ed by ano the r interru pt.
Note that following a Break character, the user will
typically want to enable the Auto-Baud Detect feature.
For both methods, the user can set the ABDEN bit of
the BAUDCONx register before placing the EUSART in
Sleep mode.

16.5 EUSART Synchronous Mode
Synchronous serial communications are typicall y used
in systems with a single master and one or more
slaves. The master device contains the necessary
circuit ry for b aud rate ge neration and supplies the clock
for all devices in the system. Slave devices can take
advantage of the master clock by eliminating the
internal clock generation circuitry.
There are two signal lines in Synchronous mode: a
bidirectional data line and a clock line. Slaves use the
external clock supplied by the master to shift the serial
data into and out of their respective receive and
transmit shift registers. Since the data line is
bidirectional, synchronous operation is half-duplex
only. Half-duplex refers to the fact that master and
slave devices can receive and transmit data but not
both simultaneously. The EUSART can operate as
either a master or slave device.
Start and Stop bits are not used in synchronous
transmissions.
16.5.1 SYNCHRONOUS MASTER MODE
The following bits are used to configure the EUSART
for Synchronous Master operation:
SYNC = 1
CSRC = 1
SREN = 0 (for transmit); SREN = 1 (for receive)
CREN = 0 (for transmit); CREN = 1 (for receive)
SPEN = 1
Setting the SYNC bit of the TXSTAx register configures
the de vi c e f or sy n ch ronous operation. Setting t he C SRC
bit of the TXSTAx register configures the device as a
master. Clearing the SREN and CREN bits of the
RCSTAx register ensures that the device is in the
Transmit mode, otherwise the device will be configured
to receive. Setting the SPEN bit of the RCSTAx register
enables the EUSART. If the RXx/DTx or TXx/CKx pins
are shared with an analog peripheral the analog I/O
functi ons must be disabled b y clearing the correspo nding
ANSEL bi ts .
The TRIS bits corresponding to the RXx/DTx and
TXx/CKx pins should be set.
16.5.1.1 Master Clock
Synchronous data transfers use a separate clock line,
which is synchronous wi th the data. A device configured
as a master transmits the clock on the TXx/CKx line. The
TXx/CKx pin ou tput driver is automatically enabled when
the EUSART is configured for synchronous transmit or
receive operation. Serial dat a bits change on the leading
edge to ensure they are valid at the trailing edge of each
clock. One clock cycle is generated for each data bit.
Only as many clock cycles are generated as there are
da ta bits.
16.5.1.2 Clock Polarity
A clock polarity option is provided for Microwire
comp atibilit y. Clock polari ty is se lected with the CKTXP
bit of the BAUDCONx register. Setting the CKTXP bit
sets the clock Idle state as high. When the CKTXP bit
is set, the data changes on the falling edge of each
clock and is sampled on the rising edge of each cloc k.
Clearing th e CKTXP bit sets the Idle st ate as low . When
the CKTXP bit is cleared, the data changes on the
rising edge of each clock and is sampled on the falling
edge of each clock.
16.5.1.3 Synchronous Master Transmission
Data is transferred out of the device on the RXx/DTx
pin. The RXx/DTx and TXx/CKx pin output drivers are
automat ically e nabled w hen the EUSAR T is configure d
for synchronous master transmit operation.
A transmission is initiated by writing a character to the
TXREGx register. If the TSR still contains all or part of
a previous character the new character data is held in
the TXREGx until the last bit of the previous character
has been tran smitted. If this is the first ch aracter, or the
previous character has been completely flushed from
the TSR, the data in the TXREGx is immediately trans-
ferred to the TSR. The transmission of the character
commences immediately following the transfer of the
data to the TSR from the TXREGx.
Each data bit changes on the leading edge of the
master clock and remains valid until the subsequent
leading clock edge.
16.5.1.4 Data Polarity
The polarity of the transmit and receive data can be
controlled with the DTRXP bit of the BAUDCONx
register. The default st a te of thi s bit is ‘0’ whi ch selects
high tru e transm it and re ceive d ata. Se tting the DTRXP
bit to ‘1 will inv ert the dat a resul ting in l ow true t ransmit

Note: The TSR register is not mapped in data
memory, so it is not available to the user.

16.5.1.6 Synchronous Master Reception
Data is received at the RXx/DTx pin. The RXx/DTx pin
output driver must be disabled by setting the
corresponding TRIS bits when the EUSART is
configured for synchronous master receive operation.
In Synchronous mode, reception is enabled by setting
either the Single Receive Enable bit (SREN of the
RCSTAx register) or the Continuous Receive Enable
bit (CREN of the RCSTAx register).
When SREN is set and CREN is clear, only as many
clock cycles are generated as there are data bits in a
single character. The SREN bit is automatically cleared
at the com pletio n of one c har acter. When CREN is se t,
clocks are continuously generated until CREN is
cleared . If CREN is cleared in the middle of a c haracter
the CK clo ck sto p s imm ed iat ely and t he p a rtia l charac-
ter is discarded. If SREN and CREN are both set, then
SREN is cl eared at the co mpletion of the first cha racter
and CREN takes precedence.
To initiate reception, set either SREN or CREN. Data is
sampled at the RXx/DTx pin on the trailing edge of the
TXx/ CKx cl ock pin and is shifted int o the Recei v e Shift
Register (RSR). When a complete character is
received into the RSR, the RCxIF bit is set and the
character is automatically transferred to the two
charact er receive FIFO. Th e Least Signifi cant eight bit s
of the top character in the receive FIFO are available in
RCREGx. The RCxIF bit remains set as long as there
are un-read character s in the receive FIFO .
16.5.1.7 Slave Clock
Synchronous data transfers use a separate clock line,
which is synchronous wi th the data. A device configured
as a slave receives the clock on the TXx/CKx line. The
TXx/CKx pin output driver must be disabled by setting
the associated TRIS bit when the device is configured
for synchronous slave transmit or receive operation.
Serial data bits change on the leading edge to ensure
they are valid at the trailing edge of each clock. One data
bit is transferred for each clock cycle. Only as many
clock cycles should b e received as there are data bits.
16.5.1.8 Receive Overrun Error
The receive FIFO buffer can hold two characters. An
overrun error will be genera ted if a th ird charac ter , in it s
entirety, is received before RCREGx is read to access
the FIFO. When this happens the OERR bit of the
RCSTA x regis ter i s set. Previ ous data in t he FI FO will
not be overwritten. The two characters in the FIFO
buffer can be read, however, no additional characters
will be recei ved until the erro r is cleared. The OERR bit
can only be cleared by clearing the overrun condition.
If the overrun error occurred when the SREN bit is set
and CREN is clear then the error is cleared by reading
RCREGx.
If the overrun occurred when the CREN bit is set then
the error condition is cleared by either clearing the
CREN bit of the RCSTAx register or by clearing the
SPEN bit which resets the EUSART.
16.5.1.9 Receiving 9-bit Characters
The EUSAR T support s 9-bit chara cter receptio n. When
the RX9 bit of the RCSTAx register is set the EUSART
will shift 9-bits into the RSR for each character
received. The RX9D bit of the RCSTAx register is the
ninth, and Most Significant, data bit of the top unread
charact er i n t he rec eiv e FIFO . Whe n r ead ing 9-bit data
from the receive FIFO buffer, the RX9D data bit must
be read before reading the eight Least Significant bits
from the RCREGx.
16.5.1.10 Synchronous Master Reception
Setup:
1. Initialize the SPBRGHx, SPBRGx register pair
for the appropriate baud rate. Set or clear the
BRGH and BRG16 bits, as required, to achieve
the desired baud rate.
2. Set the RXx/DTx and TXx/CKx TRIS controls to
1’.
3. Enable the synchronous master serial port by
setting bits SYNC, SPEN and CSRC. Disable
RXx/DTx and TXx/CKx output drivers by setting
the corresponding TRIS bits.
4. Ensure bits CREN and SREN are clear.
5. If using interrupts, set the GIE/GIEH and PEIE/
GIEL bits of the INTCON register and set
RCxIE.
6. If 9-bit reception is desired, set bit RX9.
7. Start reception by setting the SREN bit or for
continuous reception, set the CREN bit.
8. Interrupt flag bit RCxIF will be set when recep-
tion of a character is complete. An interrupt will
be generated if the enable bit RCxIE was set.
9. Read the RCSTAx regist er to ge t the nint h bit ( if
enabled) and determine if any error occurred
during reception.
10. Read the 8-bit received data by reading the
RCREGx register.
11. If an overrun error occurs, clear the error by
either clearing the CREN bit of the RCSTAx
register o r by clearing the SPEN bit which res ets
the EUSART.

16.5.2 SYNCHRONOUS SLAVE MODE
The following bits are used to configure the EUSART
for Synchronous slave operation:
SYNC = 1
CSRC = 0
SREN = 0 (for transmit); SREN = 1 (for receive)
CREN = 0 (for transmit); CREN = 1 (for receive)
SPEN = 1
Setting the SYNC bi t of the TX STAx r egister conf igures
the device for synchronous operation. Clearing the
CSRC bit of the TXST Ax register configures the device as
a slave. Clearing the SREN and CREN bits of the
RCSTAx register ensures that the device is in the
T ransmit mode, otherwise the device will be configured to
receive. Setting the SPEN bit of the RCSTAx register
enables the EUSART. If the RXx/DTx or TXx/CKx pins
are shared with an analog peripheral the analog I/O
functions must be disabled by clearing the corresponding
ANSE L bit s.
RXx/DTx and TXx/CKx pin output drivers must be
disabled by setting the corresponding TRIS bits.
16.5.2.1 EUSART Synchronous Slave
Transmit
The operation of the Synchronous Master and Slave
modes are identical (see Section 16.5.1.3
“Synchronous Master Transmission”), except in the
case of the Sleep mode.
If two words are written to the TXREGx and then the
SLEEP instruction is executed, the following will occur:
1. The first character will immediately transfer to
the TSR register and transmit.
2. The second word will remain in TXREGx
register.
3. The TXxIF bit will not be set.
4. After the first character has been shifted out of
TSR, the TXREGx register will transfer the
second character to the TSR and the TXxIF bit
will now be set.
5. If the PEIE/GIEL and TXxIE bits are set, the
interrupt will wake the device from Sleep and
execute the next instruction. If the GIE/GIEH bit
is also set, the program will call the Interrupt
Service Routi ne.
16.5.2.2 Synchronous Slave Transmission
Setup:
1. Set the SYNC and SPEN bits and clear the
CSRC bit.
2. Set the RXx/DTx and TXx/CKx TRIS controls to
1’.
3. Clear the CREN and SREN bits.
4. If using interrupts, ensure that the GIE/GIEH
and PEIE/GIEL bits of the INTCON register are
set and set the TXxIE bit.
5. If 9-bit transmission is desired, set the TX9 bit.
6. Enable transmission by setting the TXEN bit.
7. If 9-bit transmission is selected, insert the Most
Significant bit into the TX9D bit.
8. Start transmission by writing the Least
Significant eight bits to the TXREGx register.

17.0 ANALOG-TO-DIGITAL
CONVERTER (ADC) MODULE
The Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) allows
conversion of an analog input signal to a 10-bit binary
representation of that signal. This device uses analog
inputs, which are multiplexed into a single sample and
hold circuit. The output of the sample and hold is
connected to the input of the converter. The converter
generates a 10-bit binary result via successive
approximation and stores the conversion result into the
ADC result registers (ADRESL and ADRESH).
The ADC voltage reference is software selectable to
either VDD or a v olt age applied to the external re ference
pins.
The ADC can generate an interrupt upon completion of
a conversion. This interrupt can be us ed to wak e-up the
device from Sleep.
Figure 17-1 shows the block diagram of the AD C.

17.1 ADC Configuration
When configuring and using the ADC the following
functio ns must be considered:
Port config uration
Channel selection
ADC voltage reference selection
ADC co nversion cl ock source
Interrupt control
Results formatting
17.1.1 PORT CONFIGURATION
The ANSELx and TRISx registers configure the A/D
port pins. Any port pin needed as an analog input
should have its corresponding ANSx bit set to disable
the digital input buffer and TRISx bit set to disable the
digital output driver. If the TRISx bit is cleared, the
digital output level (VOH or VOL) will be converted.
The A/D operation is independent of the state of the
ANSx bits and the TRIS bits.
17.1.2 CHANNEL SELECTION
The CHS bits of the ADCON0 r egister det ermine whic h
channel is connected to the sample and hold circuit.
When changing channels, a delay is required before
starting the next conversion. Refer to Section 17.2
“ADC Operation” for more information.
17.1.3 ADC VOLTAGE REFERENCE
The PVCFG<1:0> and NVCFG<1:0> bits of the
ADCON1 register provide independent control of the
positive and negative voltage references.
The positive voltage reference can be:
•V
DD
the fixed voltage reference (FVR BUF2)
an exter nal voltage sour ce (VREF+)
The negative voltage reference can be:
•V
SS
an external voltage source (VREF-)
17.1.4 SELECTING AND CONFIGURING
ACQUISITIO N TIME
The ADCON2 register allows the user to select an
acquisition time that occurs each time the GO/DONE
bit is set.
Acquisition time is set with the ACQT<2:0> bits of the
ADCON2 register. Acquisition delays cover a range of
2 to 20 TAD. When the GO/DONE bit is set, the A/D
module continues to sample the input for the selected
acquisition time, then automatically begins a
conversion. Since the acquisition time is programmed,
there is n o need to wait for an acqui sition tim e between
selecting a channel and setting the GO/DONE bit.
Manual acquisition is selected when
ACQT<2:0> = 000. When the GO/DONE bit is set,
sampli ng is stoppe d and a conv ersion begins. The user
is responsible for ensuring the required acquisition time
has passed between selecting the desired input
channel and setting the GO/DONE bit. This option is
also the defaul t Res et st ate o f the AC QT<2:0> b it s and
is compatible with devices that do not offer
progra mmable acquisition 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. When an acquisition time is programmed, there
is n o indic ation of wh en th e acqu isit ion ti me en ds and
the conversion begins.
Note 1: When re adi ng the PO RT register, all pins
with their corresponding ANSx bit set
read as cleared (a low level). However,
analog conversion of pins configured as
digital inputs (ANSx bit cleared and
TRISx bit set) will be accurately
converted.
2: Analog levels on any pin with the corre-
sponding ANSx bit cleared may cause
the digi tal input buffer to consume cur rent
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
controlling how the bits in ANSELB are
reset.

17.1.5 CONVERSION CLOCK
The source of the conversion clock is software
selectable via the ADCS bits of the ADCON2 register.
There are seven possible clock options:
•F
OSC/2
•FOSC/4
•FOSC/8

The time to complete one bit conversion is defined as
TAD. One full 10-bit conversion requires 11 TAD periods
as sh own i n Figure 17-3.
For correct conversion, the appropriate TAD specification
must be met. See A/D conversion requirements in
Table 27-23 for more information. Table 17-1 gives
examples of appropriate ADC clock selections.
17.1.6 INTERRUPTS
The ADC module allows for the ability to generate an
interrupt upon completion of an Analog-to-Digital
Conversion. The ADC interrupt enable is the ADIE bit
in the PIE1 register and the interr upt priority is the ADIP
bit in the IPR1 register. The ADC interrupt flag is the
ADIF bit in the PIR1 register. The ADIF bit must be
cleared by software.
This interrupt can be generated while the device is
operatin g or while in Slee p. If the device is in Slee p, the
interrupt will wake-up the device. Upon waking from
Sleep, the next instruction following the SLEEP
instruction is always executed. If the user is attempting
to wake-up from Sleep and resume in-line code
execution, the global interrupt must be disabled. If the
global interrupt is enabled, execution will switch to the
Interrupt Service Routine.
Note: Unless using th e FRC, any change s in the
system clock frequency will change the
ADC clock frequency, which may
adversely affect the ADC result.
Note: The ADIF bit is set at the completion of
every conversion, regardless of whether
or not the ADC interrupt is enabled.

17.2 ADC Operation
17.2.1 STARTING A CONVERSION
To enable the ADC module, the ADON bit of the
ADCON0 register must be set to a ‘1’. Setting the GO/
DONE bit of the ADCON0 regis ter to a ‘1’ wil l, depend-
ing on the ACQT bits of the ADCON2 register, either
immediately start the Analog-to-Digital conversion or
start an acquisition delay followed by the Analog-to-
Digital conversion.
Figure 17-3 shows the operation of the A/D converter
after the GO bit has been set and the ACQT<2:0> bits
are cleared. A conversion is started after the following
instruction to allow entry into SLEEP mode before the
conversion begins.
Figure 17-4 shows the operation of the A/D converter
after the GO bit has been set and the ACQT<2:0> bits
are set to ‘010’ which se lec ts a 4 TAD acquisition time
before the conversion starts.

17.2.2 COMPLETION OF A CONVERSION
When the conv ersion is complete, the ADC module will:
Clear the GO/DONE bit
Set the ADIF flag bit
Update the ADRESH:A DRESL regis ters with new
conversion result
17.2.3 DISCHARGE
The discharge phase is used to initialize the value of
the cap acitor array. The array is dis charged af ter eve ry
sample. This feature helps to optimize the unity-gain
amplifier, as the circuit always needs to charge the
capacitor array , rather than charge/discharge based on
previous meas ure va lues.
17.2.4 TERMINATING A CONVERSION
If a co nver sion must b e term ina ted be fore comp leti on,
the GO/DONE bit can be cleared by software. The
ADRESH:ADRESL registers will not be updated with
the partially complete Analog-to-Digital conversion
sample. Instead, the ADRESH:ADRESL register pair
will retain the value of the previous conversion.
17.2.5 DELAY BETWEEN CONVERSIONS
After the A/D conversion is completed or aborted, a
2T
AD wait is required before the next acquisition can
be started. After this wait, the currently selected
channel is reconnected to the charge holding capacitor
comm encing the next acquisition.
17.2.6 ADC 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 ACQT<2:0> and
ADCS<2:0> 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 clock frequ ency is les s than 1 MHz, the A/D F RC
clock source should be selected.
17.2.7 ADC OPERATION DURING SLEEP
The ADC module can operate during Sleep. This
requires the ADC clock source to be set to the FRC
option. When the FRC clock source is selected, the
ADC wa its on e addition al instru ction bef ore sta rting the
conversion. This allows the SLEEP instruction to be
executed, which can reduce system noise during the
conversion. If the ADC interrupt is enabled, the device
will wake-up from Sleep when the conversion
completes. If the ADC interrupt is disabled, the ADC
module is turned off after the conversion completes,
although the ADON bit remains set.
When the ADC clock source is something other than
FRC, a SLEEP instruction causes the present
conversion to be aborted and the ADC module is
turned off, although the ADON bit remains set.
17.2.8 SPECIAL EVENT TRIGGER
Two S pecial Event Triggers are available to start an A/D
conversion: CTMU and CCP5. The Special Event
Trigger source is selected using the TRIGSEL bit in
ADCON1.
When TRIGSEL = 0, the CCP5 module is selected as
the S pecial Event T rigger source. To enable the S pecial
Event Trigger in the CCP module, set CCP5M<3:0> =
1011, in the CCP5CON register.
When TRIGSEL = 1, the CTMU module is selected.
The CTMU module requires that the CTTRIG bit in
CTMUCONH is set to enable the S pecial Event T rigger .
In addition to TRIGSEL bit, the following steps are
required to start an A/D conversion:
The A/D module must be enabled (ADON = 1)
The appropriate analog input channel selected
The minimum acquisition period set one of these
ways:
- Timing provided by the user
- Selection made of an appropriate TACQ time
With these conditions met, the trigger sets the GO/DONE
bit and the A/D acquisition starts.
If the A/D module is not enabled (ADON = 0), the
module ignores the Special Event Trigger.
17.2.9 PERIPHERAL MODULE DISABLE
When a peripheral module is not used or inactive, the
module can be disabled by setting the Module Disable
bit in the PMD registers. This will reduce power
consum ption to an ab solute mini mum. Setting the PMD
bits holds the module in Reset and disconnects the
module’s clock source. The Module Disable bit for the
ADC module is ADCMD in the PMD2 Register. See
Section 3.0 “Power-Managed Modes” for more
information.
Note: A devi ce Rese t forces all registers to th eir
Reset state. Thus, the ADC module is
turned off and any pending conversion is
terminated.

17.4 A/D Acquisition Requirements
For the A DC t o meet its specif ied accuracy, the char ge
holding capacitor (CHOLD) must be allowed to fully
charge to the input channel voltage level. The Analog
Input model is shown in Figure 17-5. The source
impedance (RS) and the internal sampling switch (RSS)
impedance directly affect the time required to charge the
capacitor CHOLD. The sampling switch (RSS) impedance
varies over the device voltage (VDD), see Figure 17-5.
The maximum recommended impedance for analog
sources is 10 k. As the source impedance is
decreased, the acquisition time may be decreased.
After the analog input channel is selected (or changed),
an A/D acquisition must be done before the conversion
can be started. To calculate the minimum acquisition
time, Equation 17-1 may be used. This equation
assumes that 1/2 LSb error is used (1024 steps for the
ADC). The 1/2 LSb erro r is the maximum er ror allow ed
for the ADC to meet its specified resolution.

18.0 COMPARATOR MODULE
Comparators are used to interface analog circuits to a
digital circuit by comparing two analog voltages and
providing a digital indication of their relative magnitudes.
The comparators are very useful mixed signal building
blocks because they provide analog functionality
independent of the program execution. The analog
comparator module includes the following features:
Independent comparator control
Programmable input selection
Comparator ou tput is avail able internall y/externally
Programmable output polarity
Interrupt-on-change
Wake-up from Sleep
Programmable Speed/Power optimization
•PWM shutdown
Programmable and fixed voltage reference
Selectable Hysteresis
18.1 Comparator Overview
A singl e com pa rato r is shown i n Figure 18-1 along with
the relationship between the analog input levels and
the digital output. When the analog voltage at VIN+ is
less than the analog voltage at VIN-, the output of the
comparator is a digital low level. When the analog
voltage at VIN+ is greater than the analog voltage at
VIN-, the outp ut of the comp arat or is a digit al high le vel.

18.2 Comparator Control
Each comparator has a separate control and
Configuration register: CM1CON0 for Comparator C1
and CM2CON0 for Comparator C2. In addition,
Comparator C2 has a second control register,
CM2CON1, for controlling the interaction with Timer1 and
simultaneous reading of both comparator outputs.
The CM1CON0 and CM2CON0 registers (see
Register 18-1) cont ain the control and st atus b its for the
following:
Enable
Input selection
Reference selection
•Output selection
Output pol arit y
Speed selection
18.2.1 COMPARATOR ENABLE
Setting the CxON bit of the CMxCON0 register enables
the comparator for operation. Clearing the CxON bit
disables the comparator resulting in minimum current
consumption.
18.2.2 COMPARATOR INPUT SELECTION
The CxCH<1:0> bits of the CMxCON0 register direct
one of four analog input pins to the comparator
inverting input.
18.2.3 COMPARATOR REFERENCE
SELECTION
Setting the CxR bit of the CMxCON0 register directs an
internal voltage reference or an analog input pin to the
non-inverting input of the comparator. See
Section 21.0 “Fixed Voltage Reference (FVR) for
more information on the Internal Voltage Reference
module.
18.2.4 COMPARATOR OUTPUT
SELECTION
The output of the comparator can be monitored by
reading either the CxOUT bit of the CMxCON0 register
or the MCxOUT bit of the CM2CON1 register. In order
to make the output available for an external connection,
the following conditions must be true:
CxOE bit of the CMxCON0 register must be set
Corresponding TRIS bit must be cleared
CxON bit of the CMxCON0 register must be set
18.2.5 COMPARATOR OUTPUT POLARITY
Inverting the output of the comparator is functionally
equivalent to swapping the comparator inputs. The
polarity of the comparator output can be inverted by
setting the CxPOL bit of the CMxCON0 register.
Clearing the CxPOL bit result s in a non-inverted outpu t.
Table 18-1 shows the output state versus input
conditions, including polarity control.
18.2.6 COMPARATOR SPEED SELECTION
The trade-off between speed or power can be
optimized during program execution with the CxSP
control bit. The default state for this bit is ‘1’ which
selects the normal speed mode. Device power
consumption can be optimized at the cost of slower
comp arator p rop agatio n delay by cl earing the C xSP bit
to ‘0’.
18.3 Comparator Response Time
The comparator output is indeterminate for a period of
time after the change of an input source or the selection
of a new refe rence volta ge. This period is refer red to as
the response time. The response time of the
comparator differs from the settling time of the voltage
reference. Therefore, both of these times must be
considered when determining the total response time
to a comparator input change. See the Comparator and
Voltage Reference Specifications in Section 27.0
“Electri cal Characte ristics” for more details.
Note: To use CxIN + and C12IN x- pins as a nalog
inputs, the appropriate bits must be set in
the ANSEL register and the
corr esp on di n g TR IS b i ts mus t al so b e se t
to disable the output drivers.
Note 1: The CxOE bit overrides the PORT data
latch. Se tting the Cx ON has no impa ct on
the port overrid e.
2: The internal output of the comparator is
latched with each instruction cycle.
Unless otherwise specified, external
outputs are not latched.

18.4 Comparator Interrupt Operation
The comparator interrupt flag will be set whenever
there is a chang e in the o utput val ue of the compa rator.
Changes are recognized by means of a mismatch
circuit which consists of two latches and an exclusive-
or gate (see Figure 18-2). The first l atch is upda ted with
the comparator output value, when the CMxCON0
register is read or written. The value is latched on the
third cycle of the system clock, also known as Q3. This
first latch retains the comparator value until another
read or write of the CMxCON0 register occurs or a
Reset takes place. The second latch is updated with
the comparator ou tput value on every first cycle of the
system clock, also known as Q1. When the output
value of the comparator changes, the second latch is
updated and the output values of both latches no
longer match one another, resulting in a mismatch
condition. The latch outputs are fed directly into the
input s of an excl usive-or g ate. This mismatc h conditio n
is detected by the exclusive-or gate and sent to the
interrupt circuitry. The mismatch condition will persist
until the first latch value is updated by performing a
read of the CMxCON0 register or the comparator
output returns to the previous state.
When the mismatch condition occurs, the comparator
interr upt flag is set. The int errupt flag is trigg ered by the
edge of the chang ing val ue comi ng from the exclus ive-
or gate. This means that the interrupt flag can be reset
onc e it i s trig ger ed w ith out th e addi ti onal st ep o f r ead-
ing or writing the CMxCON0 register to clear the mis-
match latches. When the mismatch registers are
cleared, an interrupt will oc cur upon the comparator ’s
return to the previous state, otherwise no interrupt will
be generated.
Software will need to maintain information about the
status of the comparator output, as read from the
CMxCON0 register , or CM2CON1 register, to determine
the actual change that has occurred. See Figures 18-3
and 18-4.
The CxIF bit of the PIR2 register is the comparator
interrupt flag. This bit must be reset by software by
clearing it to0’. Since i t i s also po ssib le t o writ e a ‘1’ to
this register, an interrupt can be generated.
In mid-range Compatibility mode the CxIE bit of the
PIE2 register an d the PEIE/GIEL a nd GIE/GIEH b it s of
the I NTC ON register must al l b e s et to enable compar-
ator inte rrupts. If any of thes e bits a re cleared, the inter-
rupt is not enabled, although the CxIF bit of the PIR2
register will still be set if an interrupt condition occurs.
18.4.1 PRESETTING THE MISMATCH
LATCHES
The comparator mismatch latches can be preset to the
desired state before the comparators are enabled.
When the comparator is off the CxPOL bit controls the
CxOUT level. Set the C xPOL bit to the desi red CxOU T
non-inte rrupt lev el w hile th e CxON bi t is clea red. The n,
configu re the de sired CxPO L leve l in the same ins truc-
tion that t he CxON bit is se t. Since all register writes are
performed as a read-modify-write, the mismatch
latches will be cleared during the instruction read
phase and the actual configuration of the CxON and
CxPOL bits will be occur in the final write phase.

CMxCON0 READ
FIGURE 18-4: COMPARATOR
INTERRUPT TIMING WITH
CMxCON0 READ
Note 1: A write operation to the CMxCON0
register will also clear the mismatch
condition because all writes include a read
operation at the beginning of the write
cycle.
2: Comparator interrupts will operate
correctly regardless of the state of CxOE.
Note 1: If a change in the CMxCON0 register
(CxOUT) sho uld occur when a re ad oper-
ation is being executed (start of the Q2
cycle), then the CxIF interrupt flag of the
PIR2 register may not get set.
2: When either comparator is first enabled,
bias circuitry in the comparator module
may cause an invalid output from the
comparator until the bias circuitry is
stable. Allow about 1 s for bias settling
then clear the mismatch condition and
interrupt flags before enabling comparator
interrupts.

18.5 Operation During Sleep
The compa rator , if enabled b efore entering Sleep mode,
remains active during Sleep. The additional current
consumed by the comparator is shown separately in
Section 27.0 “Electrical Characteristics. If the
comparator is not used to wake the device, power
consumption can be minimized while in Sleep mode by
turning off the comp arator. Each comparator is turned off
by clearing the CxON bit of the CMxCON0 regis ter.
A change to the comparator output can wake-up the
device from Sleep. To enable the comparator to wake
the devic e from Sle ep, the CxIE bit of the PIE2 reg ister
and the PEIE/G IEL bit of th e IN TCO N regi ste r mu st be
set. The instruction following the SLEEP instruction
always executes following a wake from Sleep. If the
GIE/GIEH bit of the INTCON register is also set, the
device will then execute the Interrupt Service Routine.
18.6 Effects of a Reset
A device Reset forces the CMxCON0 and CM2CON1
registers to their Reset states. This forces both
comparators and the voltage references to their Off
states.Comparator Control Registers.
18.7 Analog Input Connection
Considerations
A simplified circuit for an analog input is shown in
Figure 18-5. Since the analog input pins share their
connection with a digital input, they have reverse
biased ESD protection diodes to VDD and VSS. The
analog in put, therefore, 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 may occur.
A maximum source impedance of 10 k is recommended
for the analog sources. Also, any external component
connected to an ana log inp ut pin , such a s a capacitor or
a Zener diode, should have very little leakage cur rent to
minimize inaccuracies introduced.
FIGURE 18-5: ANALOG INPUT MODEL
Note 1: When reading a PORT register, all pins
configu red as analog in puts w ill read as a
0’. Pins configured as digital inputs will
convert as an analog input, according to
the input specification.
2: Analog levels on any pin defined as a
digit al input, may cause th e input buffer to
consume more current than is specified.

18.8 Additional Comparator Features
There are four additional comparator features:
Simultaneous read of comparator outputs
Internal refe renc e sel ec tio n
Hys teresis selection
Output Synchronization
18.8.1 SIMULTANEOUS COMPARATOR
OUTPUT READ
The MC1OUT and MC2OUT bits of the CM2CON1
register are mirror copies of both comparator outputs.
The ability to read both outputs simultaneously from a
single register eliminates the timing skew of reading
separate registers.
18.8.2 INTERNAL REFERENCE
SELECTION
There are two internal voltage references available to
the non-inverting input of each comparator. One of
these is the Fixed Voltage Reference (FVR) and the
other is the varia ble Digit al-to-Analog Converter (D AC).
The CxRSEL bit of the CM2CON1 register determines
which of these referenc es is routed to the Comparator
Voltage reference output (CXVREF). Further routing to
the comparator is accomplished by the CxR bit of the
CMxCON0 register. See Section 21.0 “Fixed Voltage
Reference (FVR)” and Figure 18-2 for more detail.
18.8.3 COMPARATOR HYSTERESIS
Each Comparator has a selectable hysteres is feature.
The hysteresis can be enabled by setting the CxHYS
bit of th e C M 2CO N1 register. See Se ction 27.0 “Elec-
tri cal C haracteristics” for more details.
18.8.4 SYNCHRONIZING COMPARATOR
OUTPUT TO TIMER1
The Compar ator Cx outpu t can be sync hronize d with
Timer1 by setting the CxSYNC bit of the CM2CON1
register. When enabled, the Cx output is latched on
the falling edge of the T imer1 source clock. To prevent
a race condition when gating Timer1 clock with the
comparator output, Timer1 increments on the rising
edge of its clock so urce, a nd the fal ling edg e latche s
the comparator output. See the Comparator Block
Diagram (Figure 18-2) and the Timer1 B l ock Diagram
(Figure 12-1) for more information.
Note 1: Obtaining the status of C1OUT or
C2OUT by reading CM2CON1 does not
affect the comparator interrupt mismatch
registers.
Note 1: The comparator synchronized output
should not be used to gate the external
Timer1 clock when the Timer1
synchronizer is enabled.
2: The Timer1 pr esc al e s ho uld be set to 1:1
when synchronizing the comparator
output as unexpected results may occur
with other prescale values.

19.0 CHARGE TIME
MEASUREMENT UNIT (CTMU)
The Charge Time Measurement Unit (CTMU) is a
flexible analog module that provides accurate
differential time measurement between pulse sources,
as well as asynchronous pulse generation. By working
with other on-chip analog modules, the CTMU can be
used to prec isel y meas ure time, measu re cap ac ita nce,
measure relative changes in capacitance or generate
output pulses with a specific time delay. The CTMU is
ideal for interfacing with capacitive-based sensors.
The module includes the following key features:
Up to 28(1) channels available for capacitive or
time measurement input
On-chip precision current source
Four-edge input trigger sources
Polarity control for each edge source
Control of edge sequence
Control of response to edges
High precision time measurement
Time delay of external or internal signal
asynchronous to system clock
Accurate current source suitable for capacitive
measurement
The CTMU works in conjunction with the A/D Converter
to provide up to 28(1) channels for time or charge
measurement, depending on the specific device and
the number of A/D channels available. When config-
ured for time delay, the CTMU is connected to the
C12IN1- input of Comparator 2. The level-sensitive
input edge sources can be select ed from four sources:
two external input pins (CTED1/CTED2) or the ECCP1/
(E) CCP2 Specia l Event Triggers.
Figure 19-1 provides a block diagram of the CTMU.

19.1 CTMU Operation
The CTMU works by using a fixed current source to
charge a circuit. The type of circui t depends on the type
of measurement being made. In the case of charge
measurement, the current is fixed, and the amount of
time the current is applied to the circuit is fixed. The
amou nt of vol tage re ad by the A/D is then a me asur e-
ment of the capacitance of the circuit. In the case of
time measurement, the current, as well as the capaci-
tance of the circuit, is fixed. In this case, the voltage
read by th e A/D is th en repre sent ativ e of the a mount of
time elapsed from the time the current source starts
and stops charging the circuit.
If the CTMU is being used as a time delay, both
cap acitance an d current source are fixed, as well as the
volt age s upplie d t o the comp arato r c ircuit . The d elay of
a signal is determined by the amount of time it takes the
voltage to charge to the comparator threshold voltage.
19.1.1 THEORY OF OPERATION
The operation of the CTMU is based on the equation
for charge:
More simply, the amount of charge measured in
coulombs in a circuit is defined as current in amperes
(I) multiplied by the amount of time in seconds that the
current flows (t). Charge is also defined as the
capacitance in farads (C) multiplied by the voltage of
the circuit (V). It follows that:
The CTM U modu le prov ides a const ant, know n curre nt
source. The A/D Converter is used to measure (V) in
the equation, leaving two unknowns: capacitance (C)
and time (t). The ab ove equ ation c an be use d to calc u-
late capacitance or time, by either the relationship
using the known fixed capac itance of the circuit:
or by:
using a fixed time that the current source is applied to
the circuit.
19.1.2 CURRENT SOURCE
At the hea rt of the CTMU is a pre cisi on current source,
designed to provide a constant reference for measure-
ments. The level of current is user-selectable across
three range s, with the ability to trim the output. The cur-
rent range is sele cted by the IRNG<1:0> bits (CTMUI-
CON<1:0>), with a value of00’ representing the
lowest range.
Current trim is provided by the ITRIM<5:0> bits
(CTMUICO N<7:2>). N ote that ha lf of the range adjust s
the curre nt source p ositively and the oth er half r educes
the current source. A value of000000’ is the neutral
position (no change). A value of ‘100000’ is the maxi-
mum negative adjustment, and ‘011111’ is the maxi-
mum positive adjustme nt.
19.1.3 EDGE SELECTION AND CONTROL
CTMU measurements are controlled by edge events
occurring on the module’s two input channels. Each
channel , referred to as Edge 1 and Ed ge 2, can be co n-
figured to receive input pulses from one of the edge
input pins (CTED1 and CTED2) or ECCPx Special
Event Triggers. The input channels are level-sensitive,
responding to the instantaneous level on the channel
rath er th an a t rans iti on be twee n le vels . The i npu ts are
selected using the EDG1SEL and EDG2SEL bit pairs
(CTMUCONL<3:2 and 6:5>).
In addition to source, each channel can be configured for
event polarity using the EDGE2POL and EDGE1POL
bits (CTMUCONL<7,4>). The input channels can also
be filtered for an edge event sequence (Edge 1 occur-
ring before Edge 2) by setting the EDGSEQEN bit
(CTMUCONH<2>).
19.1.4 EDGE STATUS
The C TMUCONL register also con tains two Status bit s:
EDG2STAT and EDG1STAT (CTMUCONL<1:0>).
Their primary function is to show if an edge response
has occurred on the corresponding channel. The
CTMU auto matic ally sets a p a rticul ar bit when a n edge
response is detected on its channel. The level-sensitive
nature of the in put chann els also means t hat the St atus
bit s b ecome set imm ediate ly if the cha nnel’ s conf igura-
tion is changed and is the same as the channels
current state.

PIC18(L)F2X/4XK22
The module uses the edge Status bits to control the
current source output to externa l analog modules (such
as the A/D Converter). Current is only supplied to
external modules when only one (but not both) of the
Status bits is set, and shuts current off when both bits
are either set or cleared. This allows the CTMU to
measure current only during the interval between
edges. After both Status bits are set, it is necessary to
clear t hem befo re another measu rem ent is t ak en. Both
bits should be cleared simultaneously, if possible, to
avoid re-enabling the CTMU current source.
In addition to being set by the CTMU hardware, the
edge Status bits can also be set by software. This is
also the user’s application to manually enable or
disable the current source. Setting either one (but not
both ) of t he bi ts enabl es th e cur rent sour ce. Sett ing or
clearing both bits at onc e disables the source.
19.1.5 INTERRUPTS
The CTMU sets its interrupt flag (PIR3<2>) whenever
the current source is enabled, then disabled. An
interrupt is generated only if the corresponding
interrupt enable bit (PIE3<2>) is also set. If edge
sequencing is not enabled (i.e., Edge 1 must occur
before Edge 2), it is necessary to monitor the edge
S tatus bits and determine whi ch edge occurred last and
caused the interrupt.
19.2 CTMU Module Initialization
The following sequence is a general guideline used to
initiali ze the CTMU mo dule:
1. Select the current source range using the IRNG
bits (CTMUICON<1:0>).
2. Adjust the current source trim using the ITRIM
bits (CTMUICON<7:2>).
3. Configure the edge input sources for Edge 1 and
Edge 2 by s etti ng the ED G1 SEL a nd EDG2SEL
bits (CTMUCONL<3:2 and 6:5>).
4. Configure th e input pola rities for the edge input s
using the EDG1POL and EDG2POL bits
(CTMUCONL<4,7>). The default configuration
is for negative edge polarity (high-to-low
transitions).
5. Enable ed ge sequencing using the ED GSEQEN
bit (CTMUCONH<2>). By default, edge
sequencing is disabled.
6. Select the operating mode (Measurement or
Time Delay) with the TGEN bit. The default
mode is Time/Capacitance Measurement.
7. Discharge the connected circuit by setting the
IDISSEN bit (CTMUCONH<1>); after waiting a
sufficient time for the circuit to discharge, clear
IDISSEN.
8. Disable the m odule by cl earing the CTM UEN b it
(CTMUCONH<7>).
9. Enable the module by setting the CTMUEN bit.
10. Clear the Edge Status bits: EDG2STAT and
EDG1STAT (CTMUCONL<1:0>).
11. Enable both edge inputs by setting the EDGEN
bit (CTMUCONH<3>).
Depending on the type of measurement or pulse
generation being performed, one or more additional
module s may al so need to be initial ized and confi gured
with the CTMU module:
Edge Source Generation: In addition to the
external edge input pins, both Timer1 and the
Output Compare/PWM1 module can be used as
edge sources for the CTMU.
Capacit ance or Time Measurement: The CTMU
module uses the A/D Converter to meas ure the
volt age across a capacitor that is connected to one
of the analog input channels.
Pulse Gene ration: W hen ge neratin g sys tem cl ock
independent output pulses, the CTMU module
uses Comparator 2 and the associated
comp ara tor vo lt age reference.

19.3 Calibrating the CTMU Module
The CTMU requires calibration for precise
measurements of capacitance and time, as well as for
accurate time delay. If the application only requires
measurement of a relative change in capacitance or
time, calibration is usually not neces sary. An example of
this type of application would incl ude a capacitive touch
switch, in which the touch circuit has a baseline
capacitance, and the added capacitance of the human
body changes the overall capacitance of a ci rcuit.
If actual capac itance or ti me measurement is required,
two hardware calibrations must take place: the current
source needs calibration to set it to a precise current,
and the circuit being measured needs calibration to
measure and/or nullify all other capacitance other than
that to be measured .
19.3.1 CURRENT SOURCE CALIBRATION
The current source on the CTMU module is trimable.
Therefore, for precise measurements, it is possible to
measure and adjust this current source by placing a
high precision resistor, RCAL, onto an unused analog
channel. An example circuit is shown in Figure 19-2.
The current source measurement is performed using
the following steps:
1. Initialize the A/D Converter.
2. Initialize the CTMU.
3. Enable the current source by setti ng EDG1ST A T
(CTMUCONL<0>).
4. Issue settling time delay.
5. Perform A /D conversion.
6. Calculate the current source current using
I=V/RCAL, where RCAL is a high precision
resistance and V is meas ured by perfor min g an
A/D conversion.
The CTMU current source may be trimmed with the
trim bit s in CTMUICON using an i terative process to get
an exact desired current. Alternatively, the nominal
value without adjustment may be used; it may be
stored by the software for use in all subsequent
capacitive or time measurements .
To calculate the value for RCAL, the nominal current
must be chosen, and then the resistance can be
calculated. For example, if the A/D Converter reference
voltage is 3.3V, use 70% of full scale, or 2.31V as the
desired approximate voltage to be read by the A/D
Converter. If the range of the CTMU current source is
select ed to be 0.55 A, the resistor value needed is cal-
culated as RCAL = 2.31V/0.55 A, for a value o f 4.2 M.
Similarly, if the current source is chosen to be 5.5 A,
RCAL would be 420,000, and 42,000 if the current
source is set to 55 A.
FIGURE 19-2: CTMU CURRENT SOURCE
CALIBRATION CIRCUIT
A value of 70% of full-scale voltage is chosen to make
sure that the A/D Converter was in a range that is well
above the noise floor. Keep in mind that if an exact cur-
rent is chosen, that is to incorporate the trimming bits
from CTMUICON, th e resisto r value of RCAL ma y need
to be adjusted accordingly. RCAL may also be a djusted
to allow for av ailable re sistor val ues. RCAL shou ld be of
the highest precision available, keeping in mind the
amount of precision needed for the circuit that the
CTMU will be used to measure. A recommended
minimum would be 0.1% tolerance.
The following examples show one typical method for
performing a CTMU current calibration. Example 19-1
demonstrates how to initialize the A/D Converter and
the CTMU; this routine is typical for applications using
both modules. Example 19-2 demonstrates one
method for the actual calibration routine.

19.3.2 CAPACITANCE CALIBRATION
There is a small amount of capacitance from the
internal A/D Converter sample capacitor as well as
stray capacitance from the circuit board traces and
pads that affect the precision of capacitance
measurements. A measurement of the stray
capacitance can be taken by making sure the desired
capacitance to be measured has been removed. The
measurement is then performed using the following
steps:
1. Initialize the A/D Converter and the CTMU.
2. Set EDG1STAT (= 1).
3. Wait for a fixed delay of time t.
4. Clear EDG1STAT.
5. Perform an A/D conversion.
6. Calculate the stray and A/D sample capacitances:
where I is known from the current source measure ment
step, t is a fixed de lay and V is me asured by perform ing
an A/D convers ion.
This measured value is then stored and used for
calculations of time measurement or subtracted for
capacitance measurement. For calibration, it is
expected that the capacitance of CSTRAY +CAD is
approximately known. CAD is approximately 4 pF.
An iterat ive process may need to be use d to a dju st th e
time, t, that the cir cuit is charg ed to obtai n a reasonable
voltage reading from the A/D Converter. The value of t
may be determined by setting COFFSET to a theoretical
value, then solving for t. For example, if CSTRAY is
theoretically calculated to be 11 pF, and V is expected
to be 70% of VDD, or 2.31V, then t would be:
or 63 s.
See Example 19-3 for a typical routine for CTMU
capac itance calibra tion.

19.4 Measuring Capacitance with the
CTMU
There are two separate methods of measuring
capacitance with the CTMU. The first is the absolute
method, in which the actual capacitance value is
desired. The second is the relative method, in which
the actual capacitance is not needed, rather an
indication of a change in capacitance is required.
19.4.1 ABSOLUTE CAPACITANCE
MEASUREMENT
For absolute capacitance measurements, both the
current and capacitance calibration steps found in
Section 19.3 “Calibrating the CTMU Module”
should be followed. Capacitance measurements are
then performed using the following steps:
1. Initialize the A/D Converter.
2. Initialize the CTMU.
3. Set EDG1STAT.
4. Wait for a fixed delay, T.
5. Clear EDG1STAT.
6. Perform an A/D conversion.
7. Calculate the total capacitance, CTOTAL = (I * T)/V,
where I is known from the current source
measurement step ( s ee Section 19.3.1 “Current
Sourc e Calibrat ion”), T is a fixed delay and V is
measured by performing an A/D conversion.
8. Subtract the stray and A/D capacitance
(COFFSET from Section 19.3.2 “Capacitance
Calibration”) from CTOTAL to determine the
measured capacitance.
19.4.2 RELATIVE CHARGE
MEASUREMENT
An application may not require precise capacitance
measurements. For example, when detecting a valid
press of a capacitance-based switch, detecting a rela-
tive change o f capacitance is of interest. In this typ e of
application, when the switch is open (or not touched),
the tot al capacit ance is the capacitan ce of the combina-
tion of the board traces, the A/D Converter , etc. A larger
voltag e will be measu red by the A/D Conver ter. When
the switch is closed (or is touched), the total
capacitance is larger due to the addition of the
capacitance of the human body to the above listed
capacitances, and a smaller voltage will be measured
by the A/D Converter.
Detecting capacitance changes is easily accomplished
with the CTMU using these steps:
1. Initialize the A/D Converter and the CTMU.
2. Set EDG1STAT.
3. Wait for a fixed delay.
4. Clear EDG1STAT.
5. Perform an A/D conversion.
The voltage measured by performing the A/D
conversion is an indication of the relative capacitance.
Note that in this case, no calibration of the current
source or circuit capacitance measurem ent is needed.
See Example 19-4 for a sample software routine for a
capacitive touch switch.

19.5 Measuring T ime with the CTMU
Module
Time can be prec isely measured after the ratio (C/I) is
measur ed from the current and capac ita nce cal ibratio n
step by following these steps:
1. Initialize the A/D Converter and the CTMU.
2. Set EDG1STAT.
3. Set EDG2STAT.
4. Perform an A/D conversion.
5. Calcul ate the time betwe en edge s as T = (C/I) * V ,
where I is ca lculated in the current c alibration step
(Section 19.3.1 “Current Source Calibration”),
C is calculated in the capacitance calibration step
(S ection 19.3.2 “Cap acit ance Calib ration”) and
V is measured by performing the A/D conversion.
It is assumed that the time measured is small enough
that the capacitance, COFFSET, provides a valid voltage
to the A/D Converter. For the smallest time measure-
ment, always set the A/D Channel Select register
(AD1CHS) to an unused A/D channel; the correspond-
ing pin for which is not connected to any circuit board
trace. This minimizes added stray capacitance, keep-
ing the total circuit capacitance close to that of the A/D
Converter itself (4-5 pF). To measure longer time
intervals, an external capacitor may be connected to an
A/D channel and this channel selected when making a
time measurement.

19.6 Creating a Delay with the CTMU
Module
A unique feature on board the CTMU module is its
ability to generate system clock independent output
pulses based on an external capacitor value. This is
accomplished using the internal comparator voltage
reference module, Comparator 2 input pin and an
external cap acit or. The puls e is ou tput onto the CT PLS
pin. To enable this mode, set the TGEN bit.
See Figure 19-4 for an example circuit. CPULSE is
chosen by th e user to dete rmine the out put pulse wid th
on CTPLS. The pulse width is calculated by
T=(CPULSE/I)*V, where I is known from the current
source measurement step (Section 19.3.1 “Current
Source Calibration”) and V is the internal reference
voltage (CVREF).
An example use of this feature is for interfacing with
variable capacitive-based sensors, such as a humidity
senso r. A s the humi dity va ries, the puls e width ou tput
on CTPL S will vary. The CT PLS outp ut pin can be co n-
nected to an input capture pin and the varying pulse
width is measured to determine the humidity in the
application.
Follow these steps to use this feature:
1. Initialize Comparator 2.
2. Initialize the comparator voltage reference.
3. Initialize the CTMU and enable time delay
generation by setting the TGEN bi t.
4. Set EDG1STAT.
5. When CPULSE charges to the value of the voltage
reference trip point, an output pulse is generated
on CTPLS.

19.7 Operation During Sleep/Idle
Modes
19.7.1 SLEEP MODE AND DEEP SLEEP
MODES
When the device enters any Sleep mode, the CTMU
module cu rrent sou rce is alwa ys di sable d. If the CTMU
is perfor mi ng an operation tha t de pen ds on t he c urre nt
source when Sleep mode is invoked, the operati on may
not terminate correctly. Capacitance and time
measurements may return erroneous values.
19.7.2 IDLE MODE
The behavior of the CTMU in Idle mode is determined
by the CTMUSIDL bit (CTMUCONH<5>). If CTMUSIDL
is cleared, the module will continue to operate in Idle
mode. I f CTMUSIDL is set, the mod ule’s c urrent source
is disabled when the device enters Idle mode. If the
module is performing an operation when Idle mode is
invoke d, in this cas e, the res ul ts will be si mi lar to those
with Sleep mode.
19.8 CTMU Peripheral Module Disable
(PMD)
When this peripheral is not used, the Peripheral
Module Disable bit can be set to disconnect all clock
sources to the module, reduci ng power cons umption to
an absolute minimum. See Section 3.6 “Selective
Peripheral Module Control”.

19.9 Effects of a Reset on CTMU
Upon Re set, all registers of the CTMU are cleared. This
leaves the CTMU module disabled, it s current source is
turned off and all configuration options return to their

19.10 Registers
There are three control registers for the CTMU:
CTMUCONH
CTMUCONL
CTMUICON
The CTMUCONH and CTMUCONL registers
(Register 19-1 and Register 19-2) contain control bits
for configuring the CTMU module edge source selec-
tion, edge source polarity selection, edge sequencing,
A/D trigger, analog circuit capacitor discharge and
enables. The CTMUICON register (Register 19-3) has
bits for selecting the current source range and current
source trim.

20.0 SR LATCH
The module consists of a single SR latch with multiple
Set and Reset input s a s well as sep arat e l atch output s.
The SR latch module includes the following features:
Programmable input selection
SR latch output is available internally/externally
Selectable Q and Q output
Firmware Set and Reset
The SR latch can be used in a variety of analog
applications, including oscillator circuits, one-shot
circuit, hysteretic controllers, and analog timing
applications.
20.1 Latch Operation
The latch is a Set-Reset latch that does not depend o n a
clock source. Each of the Set and Reset inputs are
active-high. The latch can be s et or reset by:
Software control (SRPS and SRPR bits )
Comparator C1 output (sync_C1OUT)
Comparator C2 output (sync_C2OUT)
•SRI Pin
Programmable clock (DIVSRCLK)
The SRPS and the SRPR bits of the SRCON0 register
may be used to set or reset the SR latch, respectively.
The latc h is Reset -dominant . Therefore, i f both Set an d
Reset inputs are high, the latch will go to the Reset
state. Both the SRPS and SRPR bits are self resetting
which means that a single write to either of the bits is
all that is necessary to complete a latch Set or Reset
operation.
The output from Comparator C1 or C2 can be used as
the Set or Reset inputs of the SR latch. The output of
either Comparator can be synchronized to the Timer1
clock source. See Section 18.0 “Comparator
Module” and Section 12.0 “Timer1/3/5 Module with
Gate Control” for more information.
An external source on the SRI pin can be used as the
Set or Reset inputs of the SR latch.
An inter nal cloc k sour ce, DIVSRCL K, is av ailable and it
can periodically set or reset the SR latch. The
SRCLK<2:0> bits in the SRCON0 register are used to
select the clock source period. The SRSCKE and
SRRCKE bi ts of th e SRCON1 regist er enable the clock
source to set or reset the SR latch, respectively.
20.2 Latch Output
The SRQEN and SRNQEN bits of the SRCON0
register control the Q and Q latch outputs. Both of the
SR latch outputs may be directly output to I/O pins at
the same time. Control is determined by the st ate of bits
SRQEN and SRNQEN in the SRCON0 register.
The applicable TRIS bit of the corresponding port must
be cleared to enable the port pin output driver.
20.3 DIVSRCLK Clock Generation
The DIVSRCLK clock signal is generated from the
peripheral clock which is pre-scaled by a value
determined by the SRCLK<2:0> bits. See Figure 20-2
and Table 20-1 for additional detail.
20.4 Effects of a Reset
Upon any device Reset, the SR latch is not initialized,
and the SRQ and SRNQ outputs are unknown. The
user’s firmware is responsible to initialize the latch
output before enabling it to the output pins.

21.0 FIXED VOLTAGE REFERENCE
(FVR)
The Fixed Voltage Reference, or FVR, is a stable
voltage reference, independent of VDD, with 1.024V,
2.048V or 4.096V selectable output levels. The output
of the FVR can be configured to supply a reference
voltage to the following:
ADC input channel
ADC positive reference
Comparator positive input
Digital-to-Analog C onverter (D AC)
The FVR can be enabled by setting the FVREN bit of
the VREFCON0 register.
21.1 Independent Gain Amplifiers
The output of the FVR supplied to the ADC,
Comparators and DAC is routed through an
independent programmable gain amplifier. The
amplifier can be configured to amplify the 1.024V
reference voltage by 1x, 2x or 4x, to produce the three
possible voltage lev els .
The FVRS<1:0> bits of the VREFCON0 register are
used to enable and configure the gain amplifier settings
for the reference supplied to the DAC and Comparator
modules. When the ADC module is configured to use
the FVR output, (FVR BUF2) the reference is buffered
through an additional unity gain a mp lif ier. This bu f fe r i s
disabled if the ADC is not configured to use the FVR.
For spe cific use of the FVR, refer to the specific mo dule
sections: Section 17.0 “Analog-to-Digital Converter
(ADC) Module”, Section 22.0 “Digital-to-Analog
Converter (DAC) Module” and Section 18.0 “Com-
parator Module”.
21.2 FVR Stabilization Period
When the Fixed Voltage Reference module is enabled, it
requires time for the reference and amplifier circuits to
stabilize. Once the circuits stabilize and are ready for use,
the FVRST bit of the VREFCON0 register will be set. See
Table 27-3 for the minimum delay requirement.

22.0 DIGITAL-TO-ANALOG
CONVERTER (DAC) MODULE
The Digital-to-Analog Converter supplies a variable
voltage reference, ratiometric with the input source,
with 32 selectable output levels.
The input of the DAC can be connected to:
•External V
REF pins
•VDD supply voltage
FVR (Fixed Voltage Reference)
The output of the DAC can be configured to supply a
reference voltage to the following:
Comparator positive input
ADC input channel
•DACOUT pin
The Digit al-to-An alog Converte r (DAC) can be enabled
by setting the DACEN bit of the VREFCON1 register.
22.1 Output Voltage Selection
The DAC has 32 voltage level ranges. The 32 levels
are set with the DACR<4:0> bits of the VREFCON2
register.
The DAC ou tput vol t ag e is determined by the foll owing
equations:
EQUATION 22-1: DAC OUTPUT VOLTAGE
22.2 Ratiometric Output Level
The DAC output value is derived using a resistor ladder
with each end of the ladder tied to a positive and
negative voltage reference input source. If the voltage
of either input source fluctuates, a similar fluctuation will
result in the DAC output value.
The value of the individual resistors within the ladder
can be found in Section 27.0 “Electrical
Characteristics”.
22.3 Low-Power Voltage State
In order for the DAC module to consume the least
amount of power, one of the two voltage reference input
sources to the resistor ladder must be disconnected.
Either the positive voltage source, (VSRC+), or the
negative voltage source, (VSRC-) can be disabled.
The negative voltage source is disabled by setting the
DACLPS bit in the VREFCON1 register. Clearing the
DACLPS bit in the VREFCON1 register disables the
positive voltage source.
22.4 Output Clamped to Positive
Voltage Source
The DAC output voltage can be set to VSRC+ with the
least a mount of power co nsumption by perfor ming the
following:
Clearing the DACEN bit in the V REFCON1
register.
Setting the DACLPS bit in the VREFCON1
register.
Configuring the DACPSS bits to the proper
positive source.
Configuring the DACRx bits to ‘11111’ in the
VREFCON2 register.
This is also the method used to output the voltage level
from the FVR to an output pin. See Section 22.6 “DAC
Voltage Reference Output for more information.
22.5 Output Clamped to Negative
Voltage Source
The DAC output voltage can be set to VSRC- with the
least a mount of power co nsumption by perfor ming the
following:
Clearing the DACEN bit in the V REFCON1
register.
Clearing the DACLPS bit in th e VREFCON1
register.
Configuring the DACPSS bits to the proper
negative source.
Configuring the DACRx bits to ‘00000’ in the
VREFCON2 register.
This allows the comparator to detect a zero-crossing
while not consuming additional current through the DAC
module.
22.6 DAC Voltage Reference Output
The DAC can be output to the DACOUT pin by setting
the DACOE bit of the VREFCON1 register to ‘1’.
Selecting the DAC reference voltage for output on the
DACOUT pin automatically overrides the digital output
buffer and digital input threshold detector functions of
that pin. Reading the DACOUT pin when it has been
configured for DAC reference voltage output will always
return a ‘0’.
Due to the limited curren t drive cap abilit y, a buf fer must
be used on the DAC voltage reference output for
external connections to DACOUT. Figure 22-2 shows
an example buffering technique.

23.0 HIGH/LOW-VOLTAGE DETECT
(HLVD)
The PIC18(L)F2X/4XK22 devices hav e a High/Low-Volt-
age Detect mo dule (H LVD). This is a programma ble ci r-
cuit that sets both a device voltage trip point and the
direction of change from that point. If the device experi-
ences an excursion past the trip point in that direction, an
interrupt flag is set. If the interrupt is enabled, the pro-
gram execution branch es to the interrupt vector addre ss
and the soft ware responds to the in terrupt.
The High/Low-Voltage Detect Control register
(Register 23-1) completely 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 modul e’s block diag ram is shown in Figure 23-1.

The module is enabled by setting the HLVDEN bit
(HLVDCON<4>). Each time the HLVD module is
enabled, the circuitry requires some time to stabilize.
The IRVST bit (HLVDCON<5>) is a read-only bit used
to indicate when the circuit is stable. The module can
only gen erat e an in terrupt after the circui t is s t ab le an d
IRVST is set.
The VDIRMAG bit (HLVDCON<7>) determines the
overall operation of the module. When VDIRMAG is
cleared, the module monitors for drops in VDD below a
predetermined set point. When the bit is set, the
module monitors for rises in VDD above the set point.
23.2 Operation
When the HLVD module is enab led, a co mparat or uses
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
refe rence mod ule. T he comparat or then ge nerates an
interrupt signal by setting the HLVDIF bit.
The trip point voltage is software programmable to any of
16 values. The trip point is selected by programming the
HLVDL<3:0> b i ts (HLVD C O N < 3 :0> ).
The HLVD mo dule has an add itional f eature tha t allow s
the user to supply the trip voltage to the module from
an external source. This mode is enabled when bits,
HLVDL<3:0>, are set to ‘1111’. In this state, the
comparator input is multiplexed from the external input
pin, H LVDIN. This gi ves users the fl exibi lity of con figur-
ing the High/Low-Voltage Detect interrupt to occur at
any voltage in the valid operating range.

23.3 HLVD Setup
To set up the HLVD module:
1. Select the desired HLVD trip point by w ri tin g th e
value to the HLVDL<3:0> bits.
2. Set the VDIRMAG bit to detect high voltage
(VDIRMAG = 1) or low voltage (VDIRMAG = 0).
3. Enable the HLVD module by setting the
HLVDEN bit.
4. Cle ar th e HLVD i nter rupt flag (PIR 2<2> ), whi ch
may have been set from a previous interrupt.
5. If interrupts are desired, enable the HLVD
interrupt by setting the HLVDIE and GIE/GIEH
bits (PIE2<2> and INTCON<7>, respectively).
An interrupt will not be generated until the
IRVST bit is set.
23.4 Current Consumption
When the module is enabled, the HLVD comparator
and voltage divider are enabled and consume static
current. The total current consumption, when enabled,
is specified in Section 27.0 “Electrical Characteris-
tics”. Depe ndi ng on th e application, the H LVD module
does no t n eed to operate const an t ly. To reduce curre nt
requirements, the HLVD circuitry may only need to be
enabled for short periods where the voltage is checked.
After such a check, the module could be disabled.
23.5 HLVD Start-up Time
The internal reference voltage of the HLVD module,
specified in Section 27.0 “Electrical
Characteristics, may be used by other internal
circuitry, such as the programmable Brown-out Reset.
If the H L VD or othe r circuit s using the vo ltage refere nce
are di sabled to lower th e device’ s current con sumption,
the referen ce voltag e circuit will require time to become
stable before 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.
The HLVD interrupt flag is not enabl ed u nti l TIRVST has
expired and a stable reference voltage is reached. For
this reason, brief excursions beyond the set point may
not be detec ted du ring this inter val (see Figure 23-2 or
Figure 23-3).
FIGURE 23-2: LOW-VOLTAGE DETECT OPERATION (VDIRMAG = 0)
Note: Before changing any module settings
(VDIRMAG, HLVDL<3:0>), first disable the
module (HLVDEN = 0), m ake the chang es
and re-enable the module. This prevents
the generation of false HLVD events.

23.6 Applications
In many applications, it is desirable to detect a drop
below, or rise above, a p articular v oltage threshold . For
example, the HLVD module could be periodically
enabled to de tec t U nivers al Seria l Bus (USB) attach or
det ach. This a ssumes the dev ice is powered by a lower
voltage source than the USB when detached. An att ach
would indicate a h igh-volt a ge dete ct from, fo r exam ple,
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 23-4 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 a controlled shutdown before the
device voltage exits the valid operating range at TB.
This would give the application a time window,
represented by the difference between TA and TB, to
safely exit.

23.7 Operation During Sleep
When en abled, the HLVD circuit ry contin ues 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.
23.8 Effects of a Reset
A device Reset forces all registers to their Reset state.
This forces the HLVD module to be turned off.

24.0 SPECIAL FEATURES OF
THE CPU
PIC18(L)F2X/4XK22 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)
Code Protection
ID Locations
In-Circuit Serial Programming™
The oscillator can be configured for the application
dependi ng on frequ ency, power, accuracy and cost . All
of the options are discussed in detail in Section 2.0
“Oscillator M odule (W ith Fai l-Safe Clock Monitor)” .
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, PIC18(L)F2X/4XK22
devices have a Watchdog Timer, which is either
permanently enabled via the Configuration bits or
software co ntrolled (if configured a s disabl ed).
The inclu si on of an in tern al R C osc ill ato r also prov ide s
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
immed iately on s tart-up, while t he primary c lock sourc e
completes its start-up delays.
All of these features are enabled and configured by
setting the appropriate Configuration register bits.
24.1 Configurati on 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
mode, a TBLWT instr uction with the TBLPTR pointi ng 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 instru cti 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 6.6 “Writing
to Flash Program Memory”.

24.3 Watchdog Timer (WDT)
For PIC18(L)F2X/4XK22 devices, the WDT is driven by
the LFINTOSC source. When the WDT is enabled, the
clock s ourc e is a ls o e nab le d. The nominal WD T p erio d
is 4 ms and has the same stability as the LFINTOSC
oscillator.
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. Av ailable 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 of the OSCCON register are changed or a
clock failure has occurr ed.
FIGURE 24-1: WDT BLOCK DIAGRAM
Note 1: The CLRWDT and SLEEP instructions
clear the WDT and postscaler counts
when execute d.
2: Changing the setting of the IRCF bits of
the OSCCON register clears the WDT
and postscaler counts.
3: When a CLRWDT instruction is executed,
the postscaler count will be cleared.

24.5 Program Verification and
Code Protection
The overall structure of the code protection on the
PIC18 Flash devices differs significantly from other
PIC® microcontroller device s.
The user program memory is divided into three or five
blocks, depending on the device. One of these is a
Boot Block of 0.5K or 2K bytes, depending on the
device. The remainder of the memory is divided into
individual blocks on binary boundaries.
Each of t he b locks h as three c ode p rotecti on bit s a sso-
ciated with them. They are:
Code-Protect bit (CPn)
Write-Protect bit (WRTn)
External Block Table Read bit (EBTRn)
Figure 24-2 shows the program memory organization
for 8, 16 and 32-Kbyte devices and the specific code
protection bit associated with each block. The actual
locations of the bits are summarized in Table 24-5.

24.5.1 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 CPn bits have no direct
ef fect. CPn bits inhi bit external reads and writes. A block
of user memory may be protected fro m table writes if the
WRTn Configuration bit is ‘0’. The EBTRn bits control
table reads. Fo r a block of u ser memory with the EBTRn
bit cleared 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
block is not allowed to read and will res ult in reading ‘0’s.
Figures 24-3 through 24-5 illustrate table write and t able
read protection.
FIGURE 24-3: TABLE WRITE (WRTn) DISALLOWED
Note: Code protection bits may only be written
to a ‘0 from a 1’ s tate . It is not p ossib le to
write a ‘1’ to a bit in the ‘0’ state. Code pro-
tection b its are only set to 1’ b y a full chip
erase or block erase function. The full chip
erase and block erase functions can only
be initiated via ICSP™ or an external
programmer.

24.5.2 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.
24.5.3 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 or
an external programmer.
24.6 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 writable d urin g no rmal
execution through the TBLRD and TBLWT instructions
or du r ing p r ogr am / ver if y. Th e I D lo ca tio n s c a n b e re ad
when the device is code-protected.
24.7 In-Circuit Serial Progra mming
PIC18(L)F2X/4XK22 devices can be serially
progra mmed w hile in t he en d app licati on c ircuit. This is
simply done with tw o lines for cl ock and dat a and thre e
other lines for power, ground and the programming
voltage. This allow s customers to manufacture boards
with unprogrammed devices and then program the
microcontroller just before shipping the product. This
also allows the most recent firmware or a custom
firmware to be programmed.
24.8 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® IDE. When the microcontroller has
this featu r e ena ble d, so me reso urc es are not available
for gene ral us e. Table 24-6 shows which resources are
required by the background debugger.
TABLE 24-6: DEBUGGER RESOURCES
To use the In-Circuit Debugger function of the
microcontroller, the design must implement In-Circuit
Serial Programming co nnections to the following p ins:
•MCLR
/VPP/RE3
•V
DD
•VSS
•RB7
•RB6
This will interface to the In-Circuit Debugger module
available from Microchip or one of the third party
development tool compan ies .
24.9 Single-Supply ICSP Programming
The LV P 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. See “PIC18(L)F2XK22/4XK22
Flash Memory Programming” (DS41398) for more
details about low vol t age programm ing.
The LVP bit may be set or cleared only when using
standard high-voltage programming (VIHH applied to
the MC LR/VPP/RE3 pin). Once L VP 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.
I/O pins: RB6 , RB7
Note 1: High-voltage programming is always
available, regardless of the state of the
LVP bit, by applying VIHH to the MCLR
pin.
2: By default, Single-Supply ICSP is
enabled in unprogrammed devices (as
supplied from Microchip) and erased
devices.
3: While in Low -Voltage ICSP mo de, MCLR
is always enabled, regardless of the
MCLRE bit, and the RE3 pin can no
longer be used as a general purpose
input.

PIC18(L)F2X/4XK22
25.0 INSTRUCTION SET SUMMARY
PIC18(L)F2X/4XK22 devices incorporate the standard
set of 75 PIC18 core instructions, as well as an extended
set of eight new instructions, for the optimiz ation of code
that is recursive or that utilizes a software stack. The
extended set is discu ssed la te r in this sec tion.
25.1 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 25-2 lists
byte-oriented, bit-oriented, literal and control
operations. Table 25-1 shows the opcode field
descriptions.
Most byte-oriented in str uct ions have three operands:
1. The file register (specified by ‘f’)
2. The destination of the result (specified by ‘d’)
3. The accessed memory ( 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 memory ( 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 ins tructions may use so me of the f ollowing
operands:
A program memory address (specified by ‘n’)
The mode of the CALL or RETURN instructions
(specified by ‘s’)
The mode of the table read and table write
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 bit s. In the secon d word, the four 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 true or 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 s. If a cond itional tes t is

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 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 ensur es that all program memory
locations have a valid instruction.

25.2 Extended Instruct ion Set
In additi on to the st an dard 75 i nst ruc tion s o f the PIC18
instruction set, PIC18(L)F2X/4XK22 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 enable t hem, users mus t set
the XINST Configuration bit.
The instructions in the extended set can all be
class ified as literal operation s, which eith er manip ulate
the File Select Registers, or use them for indexed
addressing. Two of the instructions, ADDFSR and
SUBFSR, each have an additional special instantiation
for using FSR2. 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 poi nter invoca tion
software Stack Pointer manipulation
manipulation of variables located in a software
stack
A summary of the instructions in the extended instruc-
tion set is provide d in Table 25-3. Deta iled des cripti ons
are pro vided in Section 25.2.2 “Extended Instruction
Set”. The op code fiel d descript ions in Table 25-1 apply
to both the standard and extended PIC18 instruction
sets.
25.2.1 EX TEN DED 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 of f set . MPASM™ Assembler will flag an
error if it de termines that an index or offset valu e 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-oriented in structions. This is in addition
to other changes in their syntax. For more details, see
Section 25.2.3.1 “Extended Instruction Syntax with
Standard PIC18 Commands”.
TABLE 25-3: EXTENSIONS TO THE PIC18 INSTRUCTION SET
Note: The instruction set extension and the
Indexed Literal Offset Addressing mode
were designed for optimizing applic ations
written in C; the user m ay l ike ly ne ver use
these instructions directly in assembler.
The syntax for these commands is pro-
vided 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 (“{ }”).

25.2.3 BY TE- 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 5.7.1
“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 extended set is disabled, addresses
embedded in opcodes are treated as literal memory
locatio ns : ei the r as a lo ca tio n in the Acc es s Ba nk (‘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 FSR2
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 25.2.3.1
“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.
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 condi-
tions shown in the examples are applicable to all
instructions of these types.
25.2.3.1 Extended Instruction Syntax with
Standard PIC18 Commands
When the extended instruction set is enabled, the file
register arg ument, ‘f’, in the sta ndard byte-oriented an d
bit-or iented command s is replaced with the li teral offs et
value, ‘k ’. As al rea dy no ted, this occurs only when ‘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 O ffset Addre ssing, the Acc ess RAM argument i s
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 bit in
this mode will also generate 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 extended 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.
25.2.4 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 extens ions 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 PIC18(L)F2X/
4XK22, i t is very im portant to co nsider the type of code.
A large, re-entrant application that is written in ‘C’ and
would benefit from efficient compilation 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.

MICROCHIP MPL AB ® IDE TOOLS
The la test ver sions of Microc hip’s softwa re tools h ave

set of the PIC18(L)F2X/4XK22 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 bits f or 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 Address ing mode i n their lang uage tool(s).
Depending on the environment 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 re view the documentation acc ompanying
their development systems for the appropriate
information.

Note 1: Instruction cycle period (TCY) equals four times the input oscillator time base period for all configurations except PLL. All
specified values are based on characterization data for that particular oscillator type under standard operating condi-
tions with the device executing code. Exceeding these specified limits may result in an unstable oscillator operation
and/or higher than expected current consumption. All devices are tested to operate at “min.” values with an external
clock applied to the OSC1/CLKIN pin. When an external clock input is used, the “max.” cycle time limit is “DC” (no
clock) for all devices.

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 us ed in a standard mode I2C bus sy ste m but the requ ire me nt,
TSU:DAT 250 ns, must then be met. This will automatically be the case if the device does not stretch the
LOW period of the SCL signal. If such a device does stretch the LOW period of the SCL signal, it must
output the next data bit to the SDA line, TR max. + TSU:DAT = 1000 + 250 = 1250 ns (according to the
standard mode I2C bus specification), before the SCL line is released.
