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

2.0 ENHANCED MID-RANGE CPU
This family of devices contain an enhanced mid-range
8-bit CPU core. The CPU has 49 instructions. Interrupt
capability includes automatic context saving. The
hardware stack is 16 levels deep and has Overflow and
Underflow Reset capability. Direct, Indirect, and
Relative addressing modes are available. Two File
Select Registers (FSRs) provide the ability to read
program and data memory.
Automatic Interrupt Context Saving
16-level Stack with Overflow and Underflow
File Select Registers
Instruction Set
2.1 Automatic Interrupt Context
Saving
During interrupts, certain registers are automatically
saved in Shadow registers and restored when returning
from the interrupt. This saves stack space and user
code. See Section 7.5 “Automatic Context Saving”,
for more information.
2.2 16-Level Stack with Overflow and
Underflow
These devices have an external stack memory 15 bits
wide and 16 words deep. A Stack Overflow or Under-
flow will set the appropriate bit (STKOVF or STKUNF)
in the PCON register, and if enabled will cause a soft-
ware Reset. See section Section 3.4 “Stack” for more
details.
2.3 File Select Registers
There are two 16-bit File Select Registers (FSR). FSRs
can access all file registers and program memory,
which allows one Data Pointer for all memory. When an
FSR points to program memory, there is one additional
instruction cycle in instructions using INDF to allow the
data to be fetched. General purpose memory can now
also be addressed linearly, providing the ability to
access contiguous data larger than 80 bytes. There are
also new instructions to support the FSRs. See
Section 3.5 “Indirect Addressing” for more details.
2.4 Instruction Set
There are 49 instructions for the enhanced mid-range
CPU to support the features of the CPU. See
Section 28.0 “Instruction Set Summary for more
details.

3.1.1 READING PROGRAM MEMORY AS
DATA
There are two methods of accessing constants in pro-
gram memory. The first method is to use tables of
RETLW instructions. The second method is to set an
FSR to point to the program memory.
3.1.1.1 RETLW Instruction
The RETLW instruction can be used to provide access
to tables of constants. The recommended way to create
such a table is shown in Example 3-1.
EXAMPLE 3-1: RETLW INSTRUCTION
The BRW instruction makes this type of table very sim-
ple to implement. If your code must remain portable
with previous generations of microcontrollers, then the
BRW instruction is not available so the older table read
method must be used.
3.1.1.2 Indirect Read with FSR
The program memory can be accessed as data by set-
ting bit 7 of the FSRxH register and reading the match-
ing INDFx register. The MOVIW instruction will place the
lower 8 bits of the addressed word in the W register.
Writes to the program memory cannot be performed via
the INDF registers. Instructions that access the pro-
gram memory via the FSR require one extra instruction
cycle to complete. Example 3-2 demonstrates access-
ing the program memory via an FSR.
The HIGH directive will set bit<7> if a label points to a
location in program memory.

3.2 Data Memory Organization
The data memory is partitioned in 32 memory banks
with 128 bytes in a bank. Each bank consists of
(Figure 3-3):
12 core registers
20 Special Function Registers (SFR)
Up to 80 bytes of General Purpose RAM (GPR)
16 bytes of common RAM
The active bank is selected by writing the bank number
into the Bank Select Register (BSR). Unimplemented
memory will read as0’. All data memory can be
accessed either directly (via instructions that use the
file registers) or indirectly via the two File Select
Registers (FSR). See Section 3.5 “Indirect
Addressing for more information.
Data memory uses a 12-bit address. The upper 7-bits
of the address define the Bank address and the lower
5-bits select the registers/RAM in that bank.
3.2.1 CORE REGISTERS
The core registers contain the registers that directly
affect the basic operation. The core registers occupy
the first 12 addresses of every data memory bank
(addresses x00h/x08h through x0Bh/x8Bh). These
registers are listed below in Ta ble 3 - 2 . For detailed
information, see Tab le 3 -8 .

PIC16(L)F1508/9
3.2.1.1 STATUS Register
The STATUS register, shown in Register 3-1, contains:
the arithmetic status of the ALU
the Reset status
The STATUS register can be the destination for any
instruction, like any other register. If the STATUS
register is the destination for an instruction that affects
the Z, DC or C bits, then the write to these three bits is
disabled. These bits are set or cleared according to the
device logic. Furthermore, the TO and PD bits are not
writable. Therefore, the result of an instruction with the
STATUS register as destination may be different than
intended.
For example, CLRF STATUS will clear the upper three
bits and set the Z bit. This leaves the STATUS register
as ‘000u u1uu’ (where u = unchanged).
It is recommended, therefore, that only BCF, BSF,
SWAPF and MOVWF instructions are used to alter the
STATUS register, because these instructions do not
affect any Status bits. For other instructions not
affecting any Status bits (Refer to Section 28.0
“Instruction Set Summary”).
Note 1: The C and DC bits operate as Borrow
and Digit Borrow out bits, respectively, in
subtraction.

0 = A WDT time-out occurred
bit 3 PD: Power-Down bit
1 = After power-up or by the CLRWDT instruction
0 = By execution of the SLEEP instruction
bit 2 Z: Zero bit
1 = The result of an arithmetic or logic operation is zero
0 = The result of an arithmetic or logic operation is not zero
bit 1 DC: Digit Carry/Digit Borrow bit (ADDWF, ADDLW, SUBLW, SUBWF instructions)(1)
1 = A carry-out from the 4th low-order bit of the result occurred
0 = No carry-out from the 4th low-order bit of the result
bit 0 C: Carry/Borrow bit(1) (ADDWF, ADDLW, SUBLW, SUBWF instructions)(1)
1 = A carry-out from the Most Significant bit of the result occurred
0 = No carry-out from the Most Significant bit of the result occurred
Note 1: For Borrow, the polarity is reversed. A subtraction is executed by adding the two’s complement of the
second operand. For rotate (RRF, RLF) instructions, this bit is loaded with either the high-order or low-order
bit of the source register.

3.2.2 SPECIAL FUNCTION REGISTER
The Special Function Registers are registers used by
the application to control the desired operation of
peripheral functions in the device. The Special Function
Registers occupy the 20 bytes after the core registers of
every data memory bank (addresses x0Ch/x8Ch
through x1Fh/x9Fh). The registers associated with the
operation of the peripherals are described in the appro-
priate peripheral chapter of this data sheet.
3.2.3 GENERAL PURPOSE RAM
There are up to 80 bytes of GPR in each data memory
bank. The Special Function Registers occupy the 20
bytes after the core registers of every data memory
bank (addresses x0Ch/x8Ch through x1Fh/x9Fh).
3.2.3.1 Linear Access to GPR
The general purpose RAM can be accessed in a
non-banked method via the FSRs. This can simplify
access to large memory structures. See Section 3.5.2
“Linear Data Memory” for more information.
3.2.4 COMMON RAM
There are 16 bytes of common RAM accessible from all
banks.

3.3 PCL and PCLATH
The Program Counter (PC) is 15 bits wide. The low byte
comes from the PCL register, which is a readable and
writable register. The high byte (PC<14:8>) is not directly
readable or writable and comes from PCLATH. On any
Reset, the PC is cleared. Figure 3-4 shows the five
situations for the loading of the PC.
FIGURE 3-4: LOADING OF PC IN
DIFFERENT SITUATIONS
3.3.1 MODIFYING PCL
Executing any instruction with the PCL register as the
destination simultaneously causes the Program Coun-
ter PC<14:8> bits (PCH) to be replaced by the contents
of the PCLATH register. This allows the entire contents
of the program counter to be changed by writing the
desired upper 7 bits to the PCLATH register. When the
lower 8 bits are written to the PCL register, all 15 bits of
the program counter will change to the values con-
tained in the PCLATH register and those being written
to the PCL register.
3.3.2 COMPUTED GOTO
A computed GOTO is accomplished by adding an offset to
the program counter (ADDWF PCL). When performing a
table read using a computed GOTO method, care should
be exercised if the table location crosses a PCL memory
boundary (each 256-byte block). Refer to Application
Note AN556, Implementing a Table Read” (DS00556).
3.3.3 COMPUTED FUNCTION CALLS
A computed function CALL allows programs to maintain
tables of functions and provide another way to execute
state machines or look-up tables. When performing a
table read using a computed function CALL, care
should be exercised if the table location crosses a PCL
memory boundary (each 256-byte block).
If using the CALL instruction, the PCH<2:0> and PCL
registers are loaded with the operand of the CALL
instruction. PCH<6:3> is loaded with PCLATH<6:3>.
The CALLW instruction enables computed calls by com-
bining PCLATH and W to form the destination address.
A computed CALLW is accomplished by loading the W
register with the desired address and executing CALLW.
The PCL register is loaded with the value of W and
PCH is loaded with PCLATH.
3.3.4 BRANCHING
The branching instructions add an offset to the PC.
This allows relocatable code and code that crosses
page boundaries. There are two forms of branching,
BRW and BRA. The PC will have incremented to fetch
the next instruction in both cases. When using either
branching instruction, a PCL memory boundary may be
crossed.
If using BRW, load the W register with the desired
unsigned address and execute BRW. The entire PC will
be loaded with the address PC + 1 + W.
If using BRA, the entire PC will be loaded with PC + 1 +,
the signed value of the operand of the BRA instruction.

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

disabled, the TOSH/TOSL registers will
return the contents of stack address 0x0F.

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

Return Address0x00 STKPTR = 0x10
When the stack is full, the next CALL or
an interrupt will set the Stack Pointer to
0x10. This is identical to address 0x00
so the stack will wrap and overwrite the
return address at 0x00. If the Stack
Overflow/Underflow Reset is enabled, a
Reset will occur and location 0x00 will
not be overwritten.

3.5.1 TRADITIONAL DATA MEMORY
The traditional data memory is a region from FSR
address 0x000 to FSR address 0xFFF. The addresses
correspond to the absolute addresses of all SFR, GPR
and common registers.

3.5.2 LINEAR DATA MEMORY
The linear data memory is the region from FSR
address 0x2000 to FSR address 0x29AF. This region is
a virtual region that points back to the 80-byte blocks of
GPR memory in all the banks.
Unimplemented memory reads as 0x00. Use of the
linear data memory region allows buffers to be larger
than 80 bytes because incrementing the FSR beyond
one bank will go directly to the GPR memory of the next
bank.
The 16 bytes of common memory are not included in
the linear data memory region.
FIGURE 3-11: LINEAR DATA MEMORY
MAP
3.5.3 PROGRAM FLASH MEMORY
To make constant data access easier, the entire
program Flash memory is mapped to the upper half of
the FSR address space. When the MSB of FSRnH is
set, the lower 15 bits are the address in program
memory which will be accessed through INDF. Only the
lower 8 bits of each memory location is accessible via
INDF. Writing to the program Flash memory cannot be
accomplished via the FSR/INDF interface. All
instructions that access program Flash memory via the
FSR/INDF interface will require one additional
instruction cycle to complete.

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

4.2 Code Protection
Code protection allows the device to be protected from
unauthorized access. Internal access to the program
memory is unaffected by any code protection setting.
4.2.1 PROGRAM MEMORY PROTECTION
The entire program memory space is protected from
external reads and writes by the CP bit in Configuration
Words. When CP = 0, external reads and writes of
program memory are inhibited and a read will return all
0s. The CPU can continue to read program memory,
regardless of the protection bit settings. Writing the
program memory is dependent upon the write
protection setting. See Section 4.3 “Write
Protection” for more information.
4.3 Write Protection
Write protection allows the device to be protected from
unintended self-writes. Applications, such as
bootloader software, can be protected while allowing
other regions of the program memory to be modified.
The WRT<1:0> bits in Configuration Words define the
size of the program memory block that is protected.
4.4 User ID
Four memory locations (8000h-8003h) are designated as
ID locations where the user can store checksum or other
code identification numbers. These locations are
readable and writable during normal execution. See
Section 10.4 “User ID, Device ID and Configuration
Word Access” for more information on accessing these
memory locations. For more information on checksum
calculation, see the PIC12(L)F1501/PIC16(L)F150X
Memory Programming Specification (DS41573).

4.5 Device ID and Revision ID
The memory location 8006h is where the Device ID and
Revision ID are stored. The upper nine bits hold the
Device ID. The lower five bits hold the Revision ID. See
Section 10.4 “User ID, Device ID and Configuration
Word Access for more information on accessing
these memory locations.
Development tools, such as device programmers and
debuggers, may be used to read the Device ID and
Revision ID.

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

5.2 Clock Source Types
Clock sources can be classified as external or internal.
External clock sources rely on external circuitry for the
clock source to function. Examples are: oscillator mod-
ules (EC mode), quartz crystal resonators or ceramic
resonators (LP, XT and HS modes) and Resis-
tor-Capacitor (RC) mode circuits.
Internal clock sources are contained within the oscillator
module. The internal oscillator block has two internal
oscillators that are used to generate the internal system
clock sources: the 16 MHz High-Frequency Internal
Oscillator and the 31 kHz Low-Frequency Internal
Oscillator (LFINTOSC).
The system clock can be selected between external or
internal clock sources via the System Clock Select
(SCS) bits in the OSCCON register. See Section 5.3
“Clock Switching” for additional information.
5.2.1 EXTERNAL CLOCK SOURCES
An external clock source can be used as the device
system clock by performing one of the following
actions:
Program the FOSC<2:0> bits in the Configuration
Words to select an external clock source that will
be used as the default system clock upon a
device Reset.
Write the SCS<1:0> bits in the OSCCON register
to switch the system clock source to:
- Secondary oscillator during run-time, or
- An external clock source determined by the
value of the FOSC bits.
See Section 5.3 “Clock Switching”for more informa-
tion.
5.2.1.1 EC Mode
The External Clock (EC) mode allows an externally
generated logic level signal to be the system clock
source. When operating in this mode, an external clock
source is connected to the OSC1 input.
OSC2/CLKOUT is available for general purpose I/O or
CLKOUT. Figure 5-2 shows the pin connections for EC
mode.
EC mode has 3 power modes to select from through
Configuration Words:
High power, 4-20 MHz (FOSC = 111)
Medium power, 0.5-4 MHz (FOSC = 110)
Low power, 0-0.5 MHz (FOSC = 101)
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.
FIGURE 5-2: EXTERNAL CLOCK (EC)
MODE OPERATION
5.2.1.2 LP, XT, HS Modes
The LP, XT and HS modes support the use of quartz
crystal resonators or ceramic resonators connected to
OSC1 and OSC2 (Figure 5-3). The three modes select
a low, medium or high gain setting of the internal
inverter-amplifier to support various resonator types
and speed.
LP Oscillator mode selects the lowest gain setting of the
internal inverter-amplifier. LP mode current consumption
is the least of the three modes. This mode is designed to
drive only 32.768 kHz tuning-fork type crystals (watch
crystals).
XT Oscillator mode selects the intermediate gain
setting of the internal inverter-amplifier. XT mode
current consumption is the medium of the three modes.
This mode is best suited to drive resonators with a
medium drive level specification.
HS Oscillator mode selects the highest gain setting of the
internal inverter-amplifier. HS mode current consumption
is the highest of the three modes. This mode is best
suited for resonators that require a high drive setting.
Figure 5-3 and Figure 5-4 show typical circuits for
quartz crystal and ceramic resonators, respectively.

5.2.1.3 Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST)
If the oscillator module is configured for LP, XT or HS
modes, the Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) counts
1024 oscillations from OSC1. This occurs following a
Power-on Reset (POR) and when the Power-up Timer
(PWRT) has expired (if configured), or a wake-up from
Sleep. During this time, the program counter does not
increment and program execution is suspended. The
OST ensures that the oscillator circuit, using a quartz
crystal resonator or ceramic resonator, has started and
is providing a stable system clock to the oscillator
module.
In order to minimize latency between external oscillator
start-up and code execution, the Two-Speed Clock
Start-up mode can be selected (see Section 5.4
“Two-Speed Clock Start-up Mode”).
Note 1: Quartz crystal characteristics vary
according to type, package and
manufacturer. The user should consult the
manufacturer data sheets for specifications
and recommended application.
2: Always verify oscillator performance over
the VDD and temperature range that is
expected for the application.

5.2.1.4 Secondary Oscillator
The secondary oscillator is a separate crystal oscillator
that is associated with the Timer1 peripheral. It is opti-
mized for timekeeping operations with a 32.768 kHz
crystal connected between the SOSCO and SOSCI
device pins.
The secondary oscillator can be used as an alternate
system clock source and can be selected during
run-time using clock switching. Refer to Section 5.3
“Clock Switching” for more information.
FIGURE 5-5: QUARTZ CRYSTAL

5.2.1.5 External RC Mode
The external Resistor-Capacitor (RC) modes support
the use of an external RC circuit. This allows the
designer maximum flexibility in frequency choice while
keeping costs to a minimum when clock accuracy is not
required.
The RC circuit connects to OSC1. OSC2/CLKOUT is
available for general purpose I/O or CLKOUT. The
function of the OSC2/CLKOUT pin is determined by the
CLKOUTEN bit in Configuration Words.
Figure 5-6 shows the external RC mode connections.
FIGURE 5-6: EXTERNAL RC MODES
The RC oscillator frequency is a function of the supply
voltage, the resistor (REXT) and capacitor (CEXT) values
and the operating temperature. Other factors affecting
the oscillator frequency are:
threshold voltage variation
component tolerances
packaging variations in capacitance
The user also needs to take into account variation due
to tolerance of external RC components used.
Note 1: Quartz crystal characteristics vary
according to type, package and
manufacturer. The user should consult the
manufacturer data sheets for specifications
and recommended application.
2: Always verify oscillator performance over
the VDD and temperature range that is
expected for the application.

5.2.2 INTERNAL CLOCK SOURCES
The device may be configured to use the internal oscil-
lator block as the system clock by performing one of the
following actions:
Program the FOSC<2:0> bits in Configuration
Words to select the INTOSC clock source, which
will be used as the default system clock upon a
device Reset.
Write the SCS<1:0> bits in the OSCCON register
to switch the system clock source to the internal
oscillator during run-time. See Section 5.3
“Clock Switching”for more information.
In INTOSC mode, OSC1/CLKIN is available for general
purpose I/O. OSC2/CLKOUT is available for general
purpose I/O or CLKOUT.
The function of the OSC2/CLKOUT pin is determined
by the CLKOUTEN bit in Configuration Words.
The internal oscillator block has two independent
oscillators that provides the internal system clock
source.
1. The HFINTOSC (High-Frequency Internal
Oscillator) is factory calibrated and operates at
16 MHz.
2. The LFINTOSC (Low-Frequency Internal
Oscillator) is uncalibrated and operates at
31 kHz.
5.2.2.1 HFINTOSC
The High-Frequency Internal Oscillator (HFINTOSC) is
a factory calibrated 16 MHz internal clock source.
The output of the HFINTOSC connects to a postscaler
and multiplexer (see Figure 5-1). The frequency derived
from the HFINTOSC can be selected via software using
the IRCF<3:0> bits of the OSCCON register. See
Section 5.2.2.4 “Internal Oscillator Clock Switch
Timing for more information.
The HFINTOSC is enabled by:
Configure the IRCF<3:0> bits of the OSCCON
register for the desired HF frequency, and
•FOSC<2:0> = 100, or
Set the System Clock Source (SCS) bits of the
OSCCON register to ‘1x’.
A fast start-up oscillator allows internal circuits to
power-up and stabilize before switching to HFINTOSC.
The High-Frequency Internal Oscillator Ready bit
(HFIOFR) of the OSCSTAT register indicates when the
HFINTOSC is running.
The High-Frequency Internal Oscillator Stable bit
(HFIOFS) of the OSCSTAT register indicates when the
HFINTOSC is running within 0.5% of its final value.
5.2.2.2 LFINTOSC
The Low-Frequency Internal Oscillator (LFINTOSC) is
an uncalibrated 31 kHz internal clock source.
The output of the LFINTOSC connects to a postscaler
and multiplexer (see Figure 5-1). Select 31 kHz, via
software, using the IRCF<3:0> bits of the OSCCON
register. See Section 5.2.2.4 “Internal Oscillator
Clock Switch Timing” for more information. The
LFINTOSC is also the frequency for the Power-up Timer
(PWRT), Watchdog Timer (WDT) and Fail-Safe Clock
Monitor (FSCM).
The LFINTOSC is enabled by selecting 31 kHz
(IRCF<3:0> bits of the OSCCON register = 000) as the
system clock source (SCS bits of the OSCCON
register = 1x), or when any of the following are
enabled:
Configure the IRCF<3:0> bits of the OSCCON
register for the desired LF frequency, and
•FOSC<2:0> = 100, or
Set the System Clock Source (SCS) bits of the
OSCCON register to ‘1x
Peripherals that use the LFINTOSC are:
Power-up Timer (PWRT)
Watchdog Timer (WDT)
Fail-Safe Clock Monitor (FSCM)
The Low-Frequency Internal Oscillator Ready bit
(LFIOFR) of the OSCSTAT register indicates when the
LFINTOSC is running.
2011 Microchip Technology Inc. Preliminary DS41609A-page 55
PIC16(L)F1508/9
5.2.2.3 Internal Oscillator Frequency
Selection
The system clock speed can be selected via software
using the Internal Oscillator Frequency Select bits
IRCF<3:0> of the OSCCON register.
The output of the 16 MHz HFINTOSC and 31 kHz
LFINTOSC connects to a postscaler and multiplexer
(see Figure 5-1). The Internal Oscillator Frequency
Select bits IRCF<3:0> of the OSCCON register select
the frequency output of the internal oscillators. One of
the following frequencies can be selected via software:
•HFINTOSC
-16 MHz
-8 MHz
-4 MHz
-2 MHz
-1 MHz
- 500 kHz (default after Reset)
- 250 kHz
- 125 kHz
- 62.5 kHz
- 31.25 kHz
•LFINTOSC
-31 kHz
The IRCF<3:0> bits of the OSCCON register allow
duplicate selections for some frequencies. These dupli-
cate choices can offer system design trade-offs. Lower
power consumption can be obtained when changing
oscillator sources for a given frequency. Faster transi-
tion times can be obtained between frequency changes
that use the same oscillator source.
5.2.2.4 Internal Oscillator Clock Switch
Timing
When switching between the HFINTOSC and the
LFINTOSC, the new oscillator may already be shut
down to save power (see Figure 5-7). If this is the case,
there is a delay after the IRCF<3:0> bits of the
OSCCON register are modified before the frequency
selection takes place. The OSCSTAT register will
reflect the current active status of the HFINTOSC and
LFINTOSC oscillators. The sequence of a frequency
selection is as follows:
1. IRCF<3:0> bits of the OSCCON register are
modified.
2. If the new clock is shut down, a clock start-up
delay is started.
3. Clock switch circuitry waits for a falling edge of
the current clock.
4. The current clock is held low and the clock
switch circuitry waits for a rising edge in the new
clock.
5. The new clock is now active.
6. The OSCSTAT register is updated as required.
7. Clock switch is complete.
See Figure 5-7 for more details.
If the internal oscillator speed is switched between two
clocks of the same source, there is no start-up delay
before the new frequency is selected. Clock switching
time delays are shown in Table 5-1.
Start-up delay specifications are located in the
oscillator tables of Section 29.0 “Electrical
Specifications”.
Note: Following any Reset, the IRCF<3:0> bits
of the OSCCON register are set to ‘0111
and the frequency selection is set to
500 kHz. The user can modify the IRCF
bits to select a different frequency.

5.3 Clock Switching
The system clock source can be switched between
external and internal clock sources via software using
the System Clock Select (SCS) bits of the OSCCON
register. The following clock sources can be selected
using the SCS bits:
Default system oscillator determined by FOSC
bits in Configuration Words
Secondary oscillator 32 kHz crystal
Internal Oscillator Block (INTOSC)
5.3.1 SYSTEM CLOCK SELECT (SCS)
BITS
The System Clock Select (SCS) bits of the OSCCON
register selects the system clock source that is used for
the CPU and peripherals.
When the SCS bits of the OSCCON register = 00,
the system clock source is determined by value of
the FOSC<2:0> bits in the Configuration Words.
When the SCS bits of the OSCCON register = 01,
the system clock source is the secondary
oscillator.
When the SCS bits of the OSCCON register = 1x,
the system clock source is chosen by the internal
oscillator frequency selected by the IRCF<3:0>
bits of the OSCCON register. After a Reset, the
SCS bits of the OSCCON register are always
cleared.
When switching between clock sources, a delay is
required to allow the new clock to stabilize. These oscil-
lator delays are shown in Table 5-1.
5.3.2 OSCILLATOR START-UP TIME-OUT
STATUS (OSTS) BIT
The Oscillator Start-up Time-out Status (OSTS) bit of
the OSCSTAT register indicates whether the system
clock is running from the external clock source, as
defined by the FOSC<2:0> bits in the Configuration
Words, or from the internal clock source. In particular,
OSTS indicates that the Oscillator Start-up Timer
(OST) has timed out for LP, XT or HS modes. The OST
does not reflect the status of the secondary oscillator.
5.3.3 SECONDARY OSCILLATOR
The secondary oscillator is a separate crystal oscillator
associated with the Timer1 peripheral. It is optimized
for timekeeping operations with a 32.768 kHz crystal
connected between the SOSCO and SOSCI device
pins.
The secondary oscillator is enabled using the
T1OSCEN control bit in the T1CON register. See
Section 19.0 “Timer1 Module with Gate Control” for
more information about the Timer1 peripheral.
5.3.4 SECONDARY OSCILLATOR READY
(SOSCR) BIT
The user must ensure that the secondary oscillator is
ready to be used before it is selected as a system clock
source. The Secondary Oscillator Ready (SOSCR) bit
of the OSCSTAT register indicates whether the
secondary oscillator is ready to be used. After the
SOSCR bit is set, the SCS bits can be configured to
select the secondary oscillator.
Note: Any automatic clock switch, which may
occur from Two-Speed Start-up or
Fail-Safe Clock Monitor, does not update
the SCS bits of the OSCCON register. The
user can monitor the OSTS bit of the
OSCSTAT register to determine the current
system clock source.

DS41609A-page 58 Preliminary 2011 Microchip Technology Inc.
5.4 Two-Speed Clock Start-up Mode
Two-Speed Start-up mode provides additional power
savings by minimizing the latency between external
oscillator start-up and code execution. In applications
that make heavy use of the Sleep mode, Two-Speed
Start-up will remove the external oscillator start-up
time from the time spent awake and can reduce the
overall power consumption of the device. This mode
allows the application to wake-up from Sleep, perform
a few instructions using the INTOSC internal oscillator
block as the clock source and go back to Sleep without
waiting for the external oscillator to become stable.
Two-Speed Start-up provides benefits when the oscil-
lator module is configured for LP, XT, or HS modes.
The Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) is enabled for
these modes and must count 1024 oscillations before
the oscillator can be used as the system clock source.
If the oscillator module is configured for any mode
other than LP, XT or HS mode, then Two-Speed
Start-up is disabled. This is because the external clock
oscillator does not require any stabilization time after
POR or an exit from Sleep.
If the OST count reaches 1024 before the device
enters Sleep mode, the OSTS bit of the OSCSTAT reg-
ister is set and program execution switches to the
external oscillator. However, the system may never
operate from the external oscillator if the time spent
awake is very short.
5.4.1 TWO-SPEED START-UP MODE
CONFIGURATION
Two-Speed Start-up mode is configured by the
following settings:
IESO (of the Configuration Words) = 1; Inter-
nal/External Switchover bit (Two-Speed Start-up
mode enabled).
SCS (of the OSCCON register) = 00.
FOSC<2:0> bits in the Configuration Words
configured for LP, XT or HS mode.
Two-Speed Start-up mode is entered after:
Power-on Reset (POR) and, if enabled, after
Power-up Timer (PWRT) has expired, or
Wake-up from Sleep.
TABLE 5-1: OSCILLATOR SWITCHING DELAYS
Note: Executing a SLEEP instruction will abort
the oscillator start-up time and will cause
the OSTS bit of the OSCSTAT register to
remain clear.

register will confirm if the microcontroller is running
from the external clock source, as defined by the
FOSC<2:0> bits in the Configuration Words, or the
internal oscillator.

5.5 Fail-Safe Clock Monitor
The Fail-Safe Clock Monitor (FSCM) allows the device
to continue operating should the external oscillator fail.
The FSCM can detect oscillator failure any time after
the Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) has expired. The
FSCM is enabled by setting the FCMEN bit in the
Configuration Words. The FSCM is applicable to all
external Oscillator modes (LP, XT, HS, EC, RC and
secondary oscillator).
FIGURE 5-9: FSCM BLOCK DIAGRAM
5.5.1 FAIL-SAFE DETECTION
The FSCM module detects a failed oscillator by
comparing the external oscillator to the FSCM sample
clock. The sample clock is generated by dividing the
LFINTOSC by 64. See Figure 5-9. Inside the fail
detector block is a latch. The external clock sets the
latch on each falling edge of the external clock. The
sample clock clears the latch on each rising edge of the
sample clock. A failure is detected when an entire
half-cycle of the sample clock elapses before the
external clock goes low.
5.5.2 FAIL-SAFE OPERATION
When the external clock fails, the FSCM switches the
device clock to an internal clock source and sets the bit
flag OSFIF of the PIR2 register. Setting this flag will
generate an interrupt if the OSFIE bit of the PIE2
register is also set. The device firmware can then take
steps to mitigate the problems that may arise from a
failed clock. The system clock will continue to be
sourced from the internal clock source until the device
firmware successfully restarts the external oscillator
and switches back to external operation.
The internal clock source chosen by the FSCM is
determined by the IRCF<3:0> bits of the OSCCON
register. This allows the internal oscillator to be
configured before a failure occurs.
5.5.3 FAIL-SAFE CONDITION CLEARING
The Fail-Safe condition is cleared after a Reset,
executing a SLEEP instruction or changing the SCS bits
of the OSCCON register. When the SCS bits are
changed, the OST is restarted. While the OST is
running, the device continues to operate from the
INTOSC selected in OSCCON. When the OST times
out, the Fail-Safe condition is cleared and the device
will be operating from the external clock source. The
Fail-Safe condition must be cleared before the OSFIF
flag can be cleared.
5.5.4 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 with the EC or
RC Clock modes so that the FSCM will be active as
soon as the Reset or wake-up has completed. When
the FSCM is enabled, the Two-Speed Start-up is also
enabled. Therefore, the device will always be executing
code while the OST is operating.

system clock switchover has successfully
completed.

6.1 Power-on Reset (POR)
The POR circuit holds the device in Reset until VDD has
reached an acceptable level for minimum operation.
Slow rising VDD, fast operating speeds or analog
performance may require greater than minimum VDD.
The PWRT, BOR or MCLR features can be used to
extend the start-up period until all device operation
conditions have been met.
6.1.1 POWER-UP TIMER (PWRT)
The Power-up Timer provides a nominal 64 ms time-
out on POR or Brown-out Reset.
The device is held in Reset as long as PWRT is active.
The PWRT delay allows additional time for the VDD to
rise to an acceptable level. The Power-up Timer is
enabled by clearing the PWRTE bit in Configuration
Words.
The Power-up Timer starts after the release of the POR
and BOR.
For additional information, refer to Application Note
AN607, “Power-up Trouble Shooting” (DS00607).
6.2 Brown-Out Reset (BOR)
The BOR circuit holds the device in Reset when VDD
reaches a selectable minimum level. Between the
POR and BOR, complete voltage range coverage for
execution protection can be implemented.
The Brown-out Reset module has four operating
modes controlled by the BOREN<1:0> bits in Configu-
ration Words. The four operating modes are:
BOR is always on
BOR is off when in Sleep
BOR is controlled by software
BOR is always off
Refer to Tab le 6-1 for more information.
The Brown-out Reset voltage level is selectable by
configuring the BORV bit in Configuration Words.
A VDD noise rejection filter prevents the BOR from trig-
gering on small events. If VDD falls below VBOR for a
duration greater than parameter TBORDC, the device
will reset. See Figure 6-2 for more information.
TABLE 6-1: BOR OPERATING MODES
6.2.1 BOR IS ALWAYS ON
When the BOREN bits of Configuration Words are pro-
grammed to ‘11’, the BOR is always on. The device
start-up will be delayed until the BOR is ready and VDD
is higher than the BOR threshold.
BOR protection is active during Sleep. The BOR does
not delay wake-up from Sleep.
6.2.2 BOR IS OFF IN SLEEP
When the BOREN bits of Configuration Words are pro-
grammed to ‘10’, the BOR is on, except in Sleep. The
device start-up will be delayed until the BOR is ready
and VDD is higher than the BOR threshold.
BOR protection is not active during Sleep. The device
wake-up will be delayed until the BOR is ready.
6.2.3 BOR CONTROLLED BY SOFTWARE
When the BOREN bits of Configuration Words are
programmed to01’, the BOR is controlled by the
SBOREN bit of the BORCON register. The device
start-up is not delayed by the BOR ready condition or
the VDD level.
BOR protection begins as soon as the BOR circuit is
ready. The status of the BOR circuit is reflected in the
BORRDY bit of the BORCON register.
BOR protection is unchanged by Sleep.

6.3 Low-Power Brown-out Reset
(LPBOR)
The Low-Power Brown-Out Reset (LPBOR) is an
essential part of the Reset subsystem. Refer to
Figure 6-1 to see how the BOR interacts with other
modules.
The LPBOR is used to monitor the external VDD pin.
When too low of a voltage is detected, the device is
held in Reset. When this occurs, a register bit (BOR) is
changed to indicate that a BOR Reset has occurred.
The same bit is set for both the BOR and the LPBOR.
Refer to Register 6-2.
6.3.1 ENABLING LPBOR
The LPBOR is controlled by the LPBOR bit of
Configuration Words. When the device is erased, the
LPBOR module defaults to disabled.
6.3.1.1 LPBOR Module Output
The output of the LPBOR module is a signal indicating
whether or not a Reset is to be asserted. This signal is
OR’d together with the Reset signal of the BOR mod-
ule to provide the generic BOR signal which goes to
the PCON register and to the power control block.
6.4 MCLR
The MCLR is an optional external input that can reset
the device. The MCLR function is controlled by the
MCLRE bit of Configuration Words and the LVP bit of
Configuration Words (Table 6-2).
6.4.1 MCLR ENABLED
When MCLR is enabled and the pin is held low, the
device is held in Reset. The MCLR pin is connected to
VDD through an internal weak pull-up.
The device has a noise filter in the MCLR Reset path.
The filter will detect and ignore small pulses.
6.4.2 MCLR DISABLED
When MCLR is disabled, the pin functions as a general
purpose input and the internal weak pull-up is under
software control. See Section 11.2 “PORTA Regis-
ters” for more information.
6.5 Watchdog Timer (WDT) Reset
The Watchdog Timer generates a Reset if the firmware
does not issue a CLRWDT instruction within the time-out
period. The TO and PD bits in the STATUS register are
changed to indicate the WDT Reset. See Section 9.0
“Watchdog Timer” for more information.
6.6 RESET Instruction
A RESET instruction will cause a device Reset. The RI
bit in the PCON register will be set to ‘0. See Ta bl e 6- 4
for default conditions after a RESET instruction has
occurred.
6.7 Stack Overflow/Underflow Reset
The device can reset when the Stack Overflows or
Underflows. The STKOVF or STKUNF bits of the PCON
register indicate the Reset condition. These Resets are
enabled by setting the STVREN bit in Configuration
Words. See Section 3.4.2 “Overflow/Underflow
Reset” for more information.
6.8 Programming Mode Exit
Upon exit of Programming mode, the device will
behave as if a POR had just occurred.
6.9 Power-Up Timer
The Power-up Timer optionally delays device execution
after a BOR or POR event. This timer is typically used to
allow VDD to stabilize before allowing the device to start
running.
The Power-up Timer is controlled by the PWRTE bit of
Configuration Words.
6.10 Start-up Sequence
Upon the release of a POR or BOR, the following must
occur before the device will begin executing:
1. Power-up Timer runs to completion (if enabled).
2. MCLR must be released (if enabled).
The total time-out will vary based on oscillator configu-
ration and Power-up Timer configuration. See
Section 5.0 “Oscillator Module (With Fail-Safe
Clock Monitor)” for more information.
The Power-up Timer runs independently of MCLR
Reset. If MCLR is kept low long enough, the Power-up
Timer will expire. Upon bringing MCLR high, the device
will begin execution immediately (see Figure 6-3). This
is useful for testing purposes or to synchronize more
than one device operating in parallel.

6.11 Determining the Cause of a Reset
Upon any Reset, multiple bits in the STATUS and

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

7.1 Operation
Interrupts are disabled upon any device Reset. They
are enabled by setting the following bits:
GIE bit of the INTCON register
Interrupt Enable bit(s) for the specific interrupt
event(s)
PEIE bit of the INTCON register (if the Interrupt
Enable bit of the interrupt event is contained in the
PIE1, PIE2 and PIE3 registers)
The INTCON, PIR1, PIR2 and PIR3 registers record
individual interrupts via interrupt flag bits. Interrupt flag
bits will be set, regardless of the status of the GIE, PEIE
and individual interrupt enable bits.
The following events happen when an interrupt event
occurs while the GIE bit is set:
Current prefetched instruction is flushed
GIE bit is cleared
Current Program Counter (PC) is pushed onto the
stack
Critical registers are automatically saved to the
Shadow registers (See Section 7.5 “Automatic
Context Saving”.”)
PC is loaded with the interrupt vector 0004h
The firmware within the Interrupt Service Routine (ISR)
should determine the source of the interrupt by polling
the interrupt flag bits. The interrupt flag bits must be
cleared before exiting the ISR to avoid repeated
interrupts. Because the GIE bit is cleared, any interrupt
that occurs while executing the ISR will be recorded
through its interrupt flag, but will not cause the
processor to redirect to the interrupt vector.
The RETFIE instruction exits the ISR by popping the
previous address from the stack, restoring the saved
context from the Shadow registers and setting the GIE
bit.
For additional information on a specific interrupt’s
operation, refer to its peripheral chapter.
7.2 Interrupt Latency
Interrupt latency is defined as the time from when the
interrupt event occurs to the time code execution at the
interrupt vector begins. The latency for synchronous
interrupts is 3 or 4 instruction cycles. For asynchronous
interrupts, the latency is 3 to 5 instruction cycles,
depending on when the interrupt occurs. See Figure 7-2
and Figure 7.3 for more details.
Note 1: Individual interrupt flag bits are set,
regardless of the state of any other
enable bits.
2: All interrupts will be ignored while the GIE
bit is cleared. Any interrupt occurring
while the GIE bit is clear will be serviced
when the GIE bit is set again.

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

7.6 Interrupt Control Registers
7.6.1 INTCON REGISTER
The INTCON register is a readable and writable
register, that contains the various enable and flag bits
for TMR0 register overflow, interrupt-on-change and
external INT pin interrupts.
Note: 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, of the INTCON
register. User software should ensure the
appropriate interrupt flag bits are clear
prior to enabling an interrupt.

8.0 POWER-DOWN MODE (SLEEP)
The Power-Down mode is entered by executing a
SLEEP instruction.
Upon entering Sleep mode, the following conditions exist:
1. WDT will be cleared but keeps running, if
enabled for operation during Sleep.
2. PD bit of the STATUS register is cleared.
3. TO bit of the STATUS register is set.
4. CPU clock is disabled.
5. 31 kHz LFINTOSC is unaffected and peripherals
that operate from it may continue operation in
Sleep.
6. ADC is unaffected, if the dedicated FRC clock is
selected.
7. I/O ports maintain the status they had before
SLEEP was executed (driving high, low or high-
impedance).
8. Resets other than WDT are not affected by
Sleep mode.
Refer to individual chapters for more details on
peripheral operation during Sleep.
To minimize current consumption, the following
conditions should be considered:
I/O pins should not be floating
External circuitry sinking current from I/O pins
Internal circuitry sourcing current from I/O pins
Current draw from pins with internal weak pull-ups
Modules using 31 kHz LFINTOSC
CWG, NCO and CLC modules using HFINTOSC
I/O pins that are high-impedance inputs should be
pulled to VDD or VSS externally to avoid switching
currents caused by floating inputs.
Examples of internal circuitry that might be sourcing
current include the FVR module. See Section 13.0
“Fixed Voltage Reference (FVR)” for more
information on this module.
8.1 Wake-up from Sleep
The device can wake-up from Sleep through one of the
following events:
1. External Reset input on MCLR pin, if enabled
2. BOR Reset, if enabled
3. POR Reset
4. Watchdog Timer, if enabled
5. Any external interrupt
6. Interrupts by peripherals capable of running dur-
ing Sleep (see individual peripheral for more
information)
The first three events will cause a device Reset. The
last three events are considered a continuation of pro-
gram execution. To determine whether a device Reset
or wake-up event occurred, refer to Section 6.11
“Determining the Cause of a Reset”.
When the SLEEP instruction is being executed, the next
instruction (PC + 1) is prefetched. For the device to
wake-up through an interrupt event, the corresponding
interrupt enable bit must be enabled. Wake-up will
occur regardless of the state of the GIE bit. If the GIE
bit is disabled, the device continues execution at the
instruction after the SLEEP instruction. If the GIE bit is
enabled, the device executes the instruction after the
SLEEP instruction, the device will then call the Interrupt
Service Routine. In cases where the execution of the
instruction following SLEEP is not desirable, the user
should have a NOP after the SLEEP instruction.
The WDT is cleared when the device wakes up from
Sleep, regardless of the source of wake-up.
8.1.1 WAKE-UP USING INTERRUPTS
When global interrupts are disabled (GIE cleared) and
any interrupt source has both its interrupt enable bit
and interrupt flag bit set, one of the following will occur:
If the interrupt occurs before the execution of a
SLEEP instruction
-SLEEP instruction will execute as a NOP.
- WDT and WDT prescaler will not be cleared
-TO
bit of the STATUS register will not be set
-PD bit of the STATUS register will not be
cleared.
If the interrupt occurs during or after the execu-
tion of a SLEEP instruction
-SLEEP instruction will be completely exe-
cuted
- Device will immediately wake-up from Sleep
- WDT and WDT prescaler will be cleared
-TO
bit of the STATUS register will be set
-PD bit of the STATUS register will be cleared
PIC16(L)F1508/9
DS41609A-page 88 Preliminary 2011 Microchip Technology Inc.
Even if the flag bits were checked before executing a
SLEEP instruction, it may be possible for flag bits to
become set before the SLEEP instruction completes. To
determine whether a SLEEP instruction executed, test
the PD bit. If the PD bit is set, the SLEEP instruction
was executed as a NOP.

PIC16(L)F1508/9
8.2 Low-Power Sleep Mode
The PIC16F1508/9 device contains an internal Low
Dropout (LDO) voltage regulator, which allows the
device I/O pins to operate at voltages up to 5.5V while
the internal device logic operates at a lower voltage.
The LDO and its associated reference circuitry must
remain active when the device is in Sleep mode. The
PIC16F1508/9 allows the user to optimize the
operating current in Sleep, depending on the
application requirements.
A Low-Power Sleep mode can be selected by setting
the VREGPM bit of the VREGCON register. With this
bit set, the LDO and reference circuitry are placed in a
low-power state when the device is in Sleep.
8.2.1 SLEEP CURRENT VS. WAKE-UP
TIME
In the default operating mode, the LDO and reference
circuitry remain in the normal configuration while in
Sleep. The device is able to exit Sleep mode quickly
since all circuits remain active. In Low-Power Sleep
mode, when waking up from Sleep, an extra delay time
is required for these circuits to return to the normal con-
figuration and stabilize.
The Low-Power Sleep mode is beneficial for applica-
tions that stay in Sleep mode for long periods of time.
The Normal mode is beneficial for applications that
need to wake from Sleep quickly and frequently.
8.2.2 PERIPHERAL USAGE IN SLEEP
Some peripherals that can operate in Sleep mode will
not operate properly with the Low-Power Sleep mode
selected. The LDO will remain in the Normal Power
mode when those peripherals are enabled. The Low-
Power Sleep mode is intended for use with these
peripherals:
Brown-Out Reset (BOR)
Watchdog Timer (WDT)
External interrupt pin/Interrupt-on-change pins
Timer1 (with external clock source)
The Complementary Waveform Generator (CWG), the
Numerically Controlled Oscillator (NCO) and the Con-
figurable Logic Cell (CLC) modules can utilize the
HFINTOSC oscillator as either a clock source or as an
input source. Under certain conditions, when the
HFINTOSC is selected for use with the CWG, NCO or
CLC modules, the HFINTOSC will remain active
during Sleep. This will have a direct effect on the
Sleep mode current.
Please refer to sections 24.5 “Operation During
Sleep”, 25.7 “Operation In Sleep and 26.10 “Oper-
ation During Sleep” for more information.
Note: The PIC16LF1508/9 does not have a con-
figurable Low-Power Sleep mode.
PIC16LF1508/9 is an unregulated device
and is always in the lowest power state
when in Sleep, with no wake-up time pen-
alty. This device has a lower maximum
VDD and I/O voltage than the
PIC16F1508/9. See Section 29.0 “Elec-
trical Specifications” for more informa-
tion.

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

9.1 Independent Clock Source
The WDT derives its time base from the 31 kHz
LFINTOSC internal oscillator. Time intervals in this
chapter are based on a nominal interval of 1 ms. See
Section 29.0 “Electrical Specifications” for the
LFINTOSC tolerances.
9.2 WDT Operating Modes
The Watchdog Timer module has four operating modes
controlled by the WDTE<1:0> bits in Configuration
Words. See Tabl e 9-1 .
9.2.1 WDT IS ALWAYS ON
When the WDTE bits of Configuration Words are set to
11’, the WDT is always on.
WDT protection is active during Sleep.
9.2.2 WDT IS OFF IN SLEEP
When the WDTE bits of Configuration Words are set to
10’, the WDT is on, except in Sleep.
WDT protection is not active during Sleep.
9.2.3 WDT CONTROLLED BY SOFTWARE
When the WDTE bits of Configuration Words are set to
01’, the WDT is controlled by the SWDTEN bit of the
WDTCON register.
WDT protection is unchanged by Sleep. See Table 9-1
for more details.
TABLE 9-1: WDT OPERATING MODES
9.3 Time-Out Period
The WDTPS bits of the WDTCON register set the
time-out period from 1 ms to 256 seconds (nominal).
After a Reset, the default time-out period is 2 seconds.
9.4 Clearing the WDT
The WDT is cleared when any of the following condi-
tions occur:
•Any Reset
CLRWDT instruction is executed
Device enters Sleep
Device wakes up from Sleep
Oscillator fail
WDT is disabled
See Table 9-2 for more information.
9.5 Operation During Sleep
When the device enters Sleep, the WDT is cleared. If
the WDT is enabled during Sleep, the WDT resumes
counting.
When the device exits Sleep, the WDT is cleared
again. The WDT remains clear until the OST, if
enabled, completes. See Section 5.0 “Oscillator
Module (With Fail-Safe Clock Monitor)” for more
information on the OST.
When a WDT time-out occurs while the device is in
Sleep, no Reset is generated. Instead, the device
wakes up and resumes operation. The TO and PD bits
in the STATUS register are changed to indicate the
event. The RWDT bit in the PCON register can also be
used. See Section 3.0 “Memory Organization” for
more information.

10.0 FLASH PROGRAM MEMORY
CONTROL
The Flash program memory is readable and writable
during normal operation over the full VDD range.
Program memory is indirectly addressed using Special
Function Registers (SFRs). The SFRs used to access
program memory are:
•PMCON1
•PMCON2
•PMDATL
•PMDATH
PMADRL
•PMADRH
When accessing the program memory, the
PMDATH:PMDATL register pair forms a 2-byte word
that holds the 14-bit data for read/write, and the
PMADRH:PMADRL register pair forms a 2-byte word
that holds the 15-bit address of the program memory
location being read.
The write time is controlled by an on-chip timer. The write/
erase voltages are generated by an on-chip charge
pump.
The Flash program memory can be protected in two
ways; by code protection (CP bit in Configuration Words)
and write protection (WRT<1:0> bits in Configuration
Words).
Code protection (CP = 0)(1), disables access, reading
and writing, to the Flash program memory via external
device programmers. Code protection does not affect
the self-write and erase functionality. Code protection
can only be reset by a device programmer performing
a Bulk Erase to the device, clearing all Flash program
memory, Configuration bits and User IDs.
Write protection prohibits self-write and erase to a
portion or all of the Flash program memory as defined
by the bits WRT<1:0>. Write protection does not affect
a device programmers ability to read, write or erase the
device.
10.1 PMADRL and PMADRH Registers
The PMADRH:PMADRL register pair can address up
to a maximum of 32K words of program memory. When
selecting a program address value, the MSB of the
address is written to the PMADRH register and the LSB
is written to the PMADRL register.
10.1.1 PMCON1 AND PMCON2
REGISTERS
PMCON1 is the control register for Flash program
memory accesses.
Control bits RD and WR initiate read and write,
respectively. These bits cannot be cleared, only set, in
software. They are cleared by hardware at completion
of the read or write operation. The inability to clear the
WR bit in software prevents the accidental, premature
termination of a write operation.
The WREN bit, when set, will allow a write operation to
occur. On power-up, the WREN bit is clear. The
WRERR bit is set when a write operation is interrupted
by a Reset during normal operation. In these situations,
following Reset, the user can check the WRERR bit
and execute the appropriate error handling routine.
The PMCON2 register is a write-only register. Attempting
to read the PMCON2 register will return all ‘0’s.
To enable writes to the program memory, a specific
pattern (the unlock sequence), must be written to the
PMCON2 register. The required unlock sequence
prevents inadvertent writes to the program memory
write latches and Flash program memory.
10.2 Flash Program Memory Overview
It is important to understand the Flash program memory
structure for erase and programming operations. Flash
program memory is arranged in rows. A row consists of
a fixed number of 14-bit program memory words. A row
is the minimum size that can be erased by user software.
After a row has been erased, the user can reprogram
all or a portion of this row. Data to be written into the
program memory row is written to 14-bit wide data write
latches. These write latches are not directly accessible
to the user, but may be loaded via sequential writes to
the PMDATH:PMDATL register pair.
See Table 10-1 for Erase Row size and the number of
write latches for Flash program memory.
Note 1: Code protection of the entire Flash
program memory array is enabled by
clearing the CP bit of Configuration Words.
Note: If the user wants to modify only a portion
of a previously programmed row, then the
contents of the entire row must be read
and saved in RAM prior to the erase.
Then, new data and retained data can be
written into the write latches to reprogram
the row of Flash program memory. How-
ever, any unprogrammed locations can be
written without first erasing the row. In this
case, it is not necessary to save and
rewrite the other previously programmed
locations.

10.2.1 READING THE FLASH PROGRAM
MEMORY
To read a program memory location, the user must:
1. Write the desired address to the
PMADRH:PMADRL register pair.
2. Clear the CFGS bit of the PMCON1 register.
3. Then, set control bit RD of the PMCON1 register.
Once the read control bit is set, the program memory
Flash controller will use the second instruction cycle to
read the data. This causes the second instruction
immediately following theBSF PMCON1,RD” instruction
to be ignored. The data is available in the very next cycle,
in the PMDATH:PMDATL register pair; therefore, it can
be read as two bytes in the following instructions.
PMDATH:PMDATL register pair will hold this value until
another read or until it is written to by the user.
FIGURE 10-1: FLASH PROGRAM
MEMORY READ
FLOWCHART
Note: The two instructions following a program
memory read are required to be NOPs.
This prevents the user from executing a

instruction after the RD bit is set.

10.2.2 FLASH MEMORY UNLOCK
SEQUENCE
The unlock sequence is a mechanism that protects the
Flash program memory from unintended self-write pro-
gramming or erasing. The sequence must be executed
and completed without interruption to successfully
complete any of the following operations:
•Row Erase
Load program memory write latches
Write of program memory write latches to pro-
gram memory
Write of program memory write latches to User
IDs
The unlock sequence consists of the following steps:
1. Write 55h to PMCON2
2. Write AAh to PMCON2
3. Set the WR bit in PMCON1
4. NOP instruction
5. NOP instruction
Once the WR bit is set, the processor will always force
two NOP instructions. When an Erase Row or Program
Row operation is being performed, the processor will stall
internal operations (typical 2 ms), until the operation is
complete and then resume with the next instruction.
When the operation is loading the program memory write
latches, the processor will always force the two NOP
instructions and continue uninterrupted with the next
instruction.
Since the unlock sequence must not be interrupted,
global interrupts should be disabled prior to the unlock
sequence and re-enabled after the unlock sequence is
completed.

10.2.3 ERASING FLASH PROGRAM
MEMORY
While executing code, program memory can only be
erased by rows. To erase a row:
1. Load the PMADRH:PMADRL register pair with
any address within the row to be erased.
2. Clear the CFGS bit of the PMCON1 register.
3. Set the FREE and WREN bits of the PMCON1
register.
4. Write 55h, then AAh, to PMCON2 (Flash
programming unlock sequence).
5. Set control bit WR of the PMCON1 register to
begin the erase operation.
See Example 10-2.
After theBSF PMCON1,WR” instruction, the processor
requires two cycles to set up the erase operation. The
user must place two NOP instructions immediately fol-
lowing the WR bit set instruction. The processor will
halt internal operations for the typical 2 ms erase time.
This is not Sleep mode as the clocks and peripherals
will continue to run. After the erase cycle, the processor
will resume operation with the third instruction after the
PMCON1 write instruction.

10.2.4 WRITING TO FLASH PROGRAM
MEMORY
Program memory is programmed using the following
steps:
1. Load the address in PMADRH:PMADRL of the
row to be programmed.
2. Load each write latch with data.
3. Initiate a programming operation.
4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 until all data is written.
Before writing to program memory, the word(s) to be
written must be erased or previously unwritten. Pro-
gram memory can only be erased one row at a time. No
automatic erase occurs upon the initiation of the write.
Program memory can be written one or more words at
a time. The maximum number of words written at one
time is equal to the number of write latches. See
Figure 10-5 (row writes to program memory with 32
write latches) for more details.
The write latches are aligned to the Flash row address
boundary defined by the upper 10-bits of
PMADRH:PMADRL, (PMADRH<6:0>:PMADRL<7:5>)
with the lower 5-bits of PMADRL, (PMADRL<4:0>)
determining the write latch being loaded. Write opera-
tions do not cross these boundaries. At the completion
of a program memory write operation, the data in the
write latches is reset to contain 0x3FFF.
The following steps should be completed to load the
write latches and program a row of program memory.
These steps are divided into two parts. First, each write
latch is loaded with data from the PMDATH:PMDATL
using the unlock sequence with LWLO = 1. When the
last word to be loaded into the write latch is ready, the
LWLO bit is cleared and the unlock sequence
executed. This initiates the programming operation,
writing all the latches into Flash program memory.
1. Set the WREN bit of the PMCON1 register.
2. Clear the CFGS bit of the PMCON1 register.
3. Set the LWLO bit of the PMCON1 register.
When the LWLO bit of the PMCON1 register is
1’, the write sequence will only load the write
latches and will not initiate the write to Flash
program memory.
4. Load the PMADRH:PMADRL register pair with
the address of the location to be written.
5. Load the PMDATH:PMDATL register pair with
the program memory data to be written.
6. Execute the unlock sequence (Section 10.2.2
“Flash Memory Unlock Sequence). The write
latch is now loaded.
7. Increment the PMADRH:PMADRL register pair
to point to the next location.
8. Repeat steps 5 through 7 until all but the last
write latch has been loaded.
9. Clear the LWLO bit of the PMCON1 register.
When the LWLO bit of the PMCON1 register is
0’, the write sequence will initiate the write to
Flash program memory.
10. Load the PMDATH:PMDATL register pair with
the program memory data to be written.
11. Execute the unlock sequence (Section 10.2.2
“Flash Memory Unlock Sequence”). The
entire program memory latch content is now
written to Flash program memory.
An example of the complete write sequence is shown in
Example 10-3. The initial address is loaded into the
PMADRH:PMADRL register pair; the data is loaded
using indirect addressing.
Note: The special unlock sequence is required
to load a write latch with data or initiate a
Flash programming operation. If the
unlock sequence is interrupted, writing to
the latches or program memory will not be
initiated.
Note: The program memory write latches are
reset to the blank state (0x3FFF) at the
completion of every write or erase
operation. As a result, it is not necessary
to load all the program memory write
latches. Unloaded latches will remain in
the blank state.

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

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

11.0 I/O PORTS
Each port has three standard registers for its operation.
These registers are:
TRISx registers (data direction)
PORTx registers (reads the levels on the pins of
the device)
LATx registers (output latch)
Some ports may have one or more of the following
additional registers. These registers are:
ANSELx (analog select)
WPUx (weak pull-up)
In general, when a peripheral is enabled on a port pin,
that pin cannot be used as a general purpose output.
However, the pin can still be read.
The Data Latch (LATx registers) is useful for
read-modify-write operations on the value that the I/O
pins are driving.
A write operation to the LATx register has the same
effect as a write to the corresponding PORTx register.
A read of the LATx register reads of the values held in
the I/O PORT latches, while a read of the PORTx
register reads the actual I/O pin value.
Ports that support analog inputs have an associated
ANSELx register. When an ANSEL bit is set, the digital
input buffer associated with that bit is disabled.
Disabling the input buffer prevents analog signal levels
on the pin between a logic high and low from causing
excessive current in the logic input circuitry. A
simplified model of a generic I/O port, without the
interfaces to other peripherals, is shown in Figure 11-1.

between different pins. The APFCON register is shown
in Register 11-1. For this device family, the following
functions can be moved between different pins.
•SS
•T1G
•CLC1
NCO1
These bits have no effect on the values of any TRIS
register. PORT and TRIS overrides will be routed to the
correct pin. The unselected pin will be unaffected.

11.2 PORTA Registers
PORTA is a 6-bit wide, bidirectional port. The
corresponding data direction register is TRISA
(Register 11-3). Setting a TRISA bit (= 1) will make the
corresponding PORTA pin an input (i.e., disable the
output driver). Clearing a TRISA bit (= 0) will make the
corresponding PORTA pin an output (i.e., enables
output driver and puts the contents of the output latch
on the selected pin). The exception is RA3, which is
input only and its TRIS bit will always read as ‘1’.
Example 11-1 shows how to initialize an I/O port.
Reading the PORTA register (Register 11-2) reads the
status of the pins, whereas writing to it will write to the
PORT latch. All write operations are read-modify-write
operations. Therefore, a write to a port implies that the
port pins are read, this value is modified and then
written to the PORT data latch (LATA).
The TRISA register (Register 11-3) controls the
PORTA pin output drivers, even when they are being
used as analog inputs. The user should ensure the bits
in the TRISA register are maintained set when using
them as analog inputs. I/O pins configured as analog
input always read ‘0’.
11.2.1 ANSELA REGISTER
The ANSELA register (Register 11-5) is used to
configure the Input mode of an I/O pin to analog.
Setting the appropriate ANSELA bit high will cause all
digital reads on the pin to be read as ‘0’ and allow
analog functions on the pin to operate correctly.
The state of the ANSELA bits has no effect on digital
output functions. A pin with TRIS clear and ANSEL set
will still operate as a digital output, but the Input mode
will be analog. This can cause unexpected behavior
when executing read-modify-write instructions on the
affected port.
EXAMPLE 11-1: INITIALIZING PORTA
11.2.2 PORTA FUNCTIONS AND OUTPUT
PRIORITIES
Each PORTA pin is multiplexed with other functions. The
pins, their combined functions and their output priorities
are shown in Table 11-2.
When multiple outputs are enabled, the actual pin
control goes to the peripheral with the highest priority.
Analog input functions, such as ADC and comparator
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 the pin when it is in Analog mode with the
priority shown below in Table 11-2.
Note: The ANSELA bits default to the Analog
mode after Reset. To use any pins as
digital general purpose or peripheral
inputs, the corresponding ANSEL bits
must be initialized to ‘0’ by user software.

11.3 PORTB Registers
PORTB is a 4-bit wide, bidirectional port. The
corresponding data direction register is TRISB
(Register 11-3). Setting 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 output (i.e., enables
output driver and puts the contents of the output latch
on the selected pin). Example 11-1 shows how to
initialize an I/O port.
Reading the PORTB register (Register 11-2) reads the
status of the pins, whereas writing to it will write to the
PORT latch. All write operations are read-modify-write
operations. Therefore, a write to a port implies that the
port pins are read, this value is modified and then
written to the PORT data latch (LATB).
The TRISB register (Register 11-3) controls the
PORTB pin output drivers, even when they are being
used as analog inputs. The user should ensure the bits
in the TRISB register are maintained set when using
them as analog inputs. I/O pins configured as analog
input always read ‘0’.
11.3.1 ANSELB REGISTER
The ANSELB register (Register 11-5) is used to
configure the Input mode of an I/O pin to analog.
Setting the appropriate ANSELB bit high will cause all
digital reads on the pin to be read as ‘0’ and allow
analog functions on the pin to operate correctly.
The state of the ANSELB bits has no effect on digital
output functions. A pin with TRIS clear and ANSEL set
will still operate as a digital output, but the Input mode
will be analog. This can cause unexpected behavior
when executing read-modify-write instructions on the
affected port.
11.3.2 PORTB FUNCTIONS AND OUTPUT
PRIORITIES
Each PORTB pin is multiplexed with other functions. The
pins, their combined functions and their output priorities
are shown in Table 11-2.
When multiple outputs are enabled, the actual pin
control goes to the peripheral with the highest priority.
Analog input functions, such as ADC and comparator
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 the pin when it is in Analog mode with the
priority shown below in Table 11-2.
Note: The ANSELB bits default to the Analog
mode after Reset. To use any pins as
digital general purpose or peripheral
inputs, the corresponding ANSEL bits
must be initialized to ‘0’ by user software.

11.4 PORTC Registers
PORTC is a 8-bit wide, bidirectional port. The
corresponding data direction register is TRISC
(Register 11-13). Setting a TRISC bit (= 1) will make
the corresponding PORTC pin an input (i.e., put the
corresponding output driver in a High-Impedance
mode). Clearing a TRISC bit (= 0) will make the
corresponding PORTC pin an output (i.e., enable the
output driver and put the contents of the output latch
on the selected pin). Example 11-1 shows how to
initialize an I/O port.
Reading the PORTC register (Register 11-12) reads the
status of the pins, whereas writing to it will write to the
PORT latch. All write operations are read-modify-write
operations. Therefore, a write to a port implies that the
port pins are read, this value is modified and then written
to the PORT data latch (LATC).
The TRISC register (Register 11-13) controls the
PORTC pin output drivers, even when they are being
used as analog inputs. The user should ensure the bits in
the TRISC register are maintained set when using them
as analog inputs. I/O pins configured as analog input
always read ‘0’.
11.4.1 ANSELC REGISTER
The ANSELC register (Register 11-15) is used to
configure the Input mode of an I/O pin to analog.
Setting the appropriate ANSELC bit high will cause all
digital reads on the pin to be read as ‘0’ and allow
analog functions on the pin to operate correctly.
The state of the ANSELC bits has no effect on digital out-
put functions. A pin with TRIS clear and ANSELC set will
still operate as a digital output, but the Input mode will be
analog. This can cause unexpected behavior when exe-
cuting read-modify-write instructions on the affected
port.
11.4.2 PORTC FUNCTIONS AND OUTPUT
PRIORITIES
Each PORTC pin is multiplexed with other functions. The
pins, their combined functions and their output priorities
are shown in Table 11-8.
When multiple outputs are enabled, the actual pin
control goes to the peripheral with the highest priority.
Analog input and some digital input functions are not
included in the output priority list. These input functions
can remain active when the pin is configured as an
output. Certain digital input functions override other
port functions and are included in the output priority list.
Note: The ANSELC bits default to the Analog
mode after Reset. To use any pins as
digital general purpose or peripheral
inputs, the corresponding ANSEL bits
must be initialized to ‘0’ by user software.

PIC16(L)F1508/9
12.0 INTERRUPT-ON-CHANGE
The PORTA and PORTB pins can be configured to
operate as Interrupt-On-Change (IOC) pins. An interrupt
can be generated by detecting a signal that has either a
rising edge or a falling edge. Any individual port pin, or
combination of port pins, can be configured to generate
an interrupt. The interrupt-on-change module has the
following features:
Interrupt-on-Change enable (Master Switch)
Individual pin configuration
Rising and falling edge detection
Individual pin interrupt flags
Figure 12-1 is a block diagram of the IOC module.
12.1 Enabling the Module
To allow individual port pins to generate an interrupt, the
IOCIE bit of the INTCON register must be set. If the
IOCIE bit is disabled, the edge detection on the pin will
still occur, but an interrupt will not be generated.
12.2 Individual Pin Configuration
For each port pin, a rising edge detector and a falling
edge detector are present. To enable a pin to detect a
rising edge, the associated bit of the IOCxP register is
set. To enable a pin to detect a falling edge, the
associated bit of the IOCxN register is set.
A pin can be configured to detect rising and falling
edges simultaneously by setting both associated bits of
the IOCxP and IOCxN registers, respectively.
12.3 Interrupt Flags
The IOCAFx and IOCBFx bits located in the IOCAF and
IOCBF registers, respectively, are status flags that
correspond to the interrupt-on-change pins of the
associated port. If an expected edge is detected on an
appropriately enabled pin, then the status flag for that pin
will be set, and an interrupt will be generated if the IOCIE
bit is set. The IOCIF bit of the INTCON register reflects
the status of all IOCAFx and IOCBFx bits.
12.4 Clearing Interrupt Flags
The individual status flags, (IOCAFx and IOCBFx bits),
can be cleared by resetting them to zero. If another edge
is detected during this clearing operation, the associated
status flag will be set at the end of the sequence,
regardless of the value actually being written.
In order to ensure that no detected edge is lost while
clearing flags, only AND operations masking out known
changed bits should be performed. The following
sequence is an example of what should be performed.
EXAMPLE 12-1: CLEARING INTERRUPT
FLAGS
(PORTA EXAMPLE)
12.5 Operation in Sleep
The interrupt-on-change interrupt sequence will wake
the device from Sleep mode, if the IOCIE bit is set.
If an edge is detected while in Sleep mode, the IOCxF
register will be updated prior to the first instruction
executed out of Sleep.

13.0 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
Comparator positive input
Comparator negative input
The FVR can be enabled by setting the FVREN bit of
the FVRCON register.
13.1 Independent Gain Amplifier
The output of the FVR supplied to the ADC and
Comparators is routed through a programmable gain
amplifier. Each amplifier can be programmed for a gain
of 1x, 2x or 4x, to produce the three possible voltage
levels.
The ADFVR<1:0> bits of the FVRCON register are
used to enable and configure the gain amplifier settings
for the reference supplied to the ADC module. Refer-
ence Section 15.0 “Analog-to-Digital Converter
(ADC) Module” for additional information.
The CDAFVR<1:0> bits of the FVRCON register are
used to enable and configure the gain amplifier settings
for the reference supplied to the comparator modules.
Reference Section 17.0 “Comparator Module” for
additional information.
13.2 FVR Stabilization Period
When the Fixed Voltage Reference module is enabled, it
requires time for the reference and amplifier circuits to
stabilize. Once the circuits stabilize and are ready for use,
the FVRRDY bit of the FVRCON register will be set. See
Section 29.0 “Electrical Specifications” for the
minimum delay requirement.

14.0 TEMPERATURE INDICATOR
MODULE
This family of devices is equipped with a temperature
circuit designed to measure the operating temperature
of the silicon die. The circuit’s range of operating
temperature falls between -40°C and +85°C. The
output is a voltage that is proportional to the device
temperature. The output of the temperature indicator is
internally connected to the device ADC.
The circuit may be used as a temperature threshold
detector or a more accurate temperature indicator,
depending on the level of calibration performed. A one-
point calibration allows the circuit to indicate a
temperature closely surrounding that point. A two-point
calibration allows the circuit to sense the entire range
of temperature more accurately. Reference Application
Note AN1333, “Use and Calibration of the Internal
Temperature Indicator” (DS01333) for more details
regarding the calibration process.
14.1 Circuit Operation
Figure 14-1 shows a simplified block diagram of the
temperature circuit. The proportional voltage output is
achieved by measuring the forward voltage drop across
multiple silicon junctions.
Equation 14-1 describes the output characteristics of
the temperature indicator.
EQUATION 14-1: VOUT RANGES
The temperature sense circuit is integrated with the
Fixed Voltage Reference (FVR) module. See
Section 13.0 “Fixed Voltage Reference (FVR)” for
more information.
The circuit is enabled by setting the TSEN bit of the
FVRCON register. When disabled, the circuit draws no
current.
The circuit operates in either high or low range. The high
range, selected by setting the TSRNG bit of the
FVRCON register, provides a wider output voltage. This
provides more resolution over the temperature range,
but may be less consistent from part to part. This range
requires a higher bias voltage to operate and thus, a
higher VDD is needed.
The low range is selected by clearing the TSRNG bit of
the FVRCON register. The low range generates a lower
voltage drop and thus, a lower bias voltage is needed to
operate the circuit. The low range is provided for low
voltage operation.
FIGURE 14-1: TEMPERATURE CIRCUIT
DIAGRAM
14.2 Minimum Operating VDD
When the temperature circuit is operated in low range,
the device may be operated at any operating voltage
that is within specifications.
When the temperature circuit is operated in high range,
the device operating voltage, VDD, must be high
enough to ensure that the temperature circuit is cor-
rectly biased.
Table 14-1 shows the recommended minimum VDD vs.
range setting.
TABLE 14-1: RECOMMENDED VDD VS.
RANGE
14.3 Temperature Output
The output of the circuit is measured using the internal
Analog-to-Digital Converter. A channel is reserved for
the temperature circuit output. Refer to Section 15.0
“Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) Module” for
detailed information.
14.4 ADC Acquisition Time
To ensure accurate temperature measurements, the
user must wait at least 200 s after the ADC input
multiplexer is connected to the temperature indicator
output before the conversion is performed. In addition,
the user must wait 200 s between sequential
conversions of the temperature indicator output.

15.0 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 (ADRESH:ADRESL register pair).
Figure 15-1 shows the block diagram of the ADC.
The ADC voltage reference is software selectable to be
either internally generated or externally supplied.
The ADC can generate an interrupt upon completion of
a conversion. This interrupt can be used to wake-up the
device from Sleep.

15.1 ADC Configuration
When configuring and using the ADC the following
functions must be considered:
Port configuration
Channel selection
ADC voltage reference selection
ADC conversion clock source
Interrupt control
Result formatting
15.1.1 PORT CONFIGURATION
The ADC can be used to convert both analog and
digital signals. When converting analog signals, the I/O
pin should be configured for analog by setting the
associated TRIS and ANSEL bits. Refer to
Section 11.0 “I/O Ports” for more information.
15.1.2 CHANNEL SELECTION
There are 15 channel selections available:
•AN<11:0> pins
Temperature Indicator
•DAC
FVR (Fixed Voltage Reference) Output
Refer to Section 13.0 “Fixed Voltage Reference (FVR)”
and Section 14.0 “Temperature Indicator Module” for
more information on these channel selections.
The CHS bits of the ADCON0 register determine which
channel is connected to the sample and hold circuit.
When changing channels, a delay is required before
starting the next conversion. Refer to Section 15.2
“ADC Operation” for more information.
15.1.3 ADC VOLTAGE REFERENCE
The ADPREF bits of the ADCON1 register provides
control of the positive voltage reference. The positive
voltage reference can be:
•V
REF+ pin
•V
DD
See Section 13.0 “Fixed Voltage Reference (FVR)”
for more details on the Fixed Voltage Reference.
15.1.4 CONVERSION CLOCK
The source of the conversion clock is software select-
able via the ADCS bits of the ADCON1 register. There
are seven possible clock options:
•F
OSC/2
•F
OSC/4
•F
OSC/8
•F
OSC/16
•F
OSC/32
•F
OSC/64
•F
RC (dedicated internal oscillator)
The time to complete one bit conversion is defined as
TAD. One full 10-bit conversion requires 11.5 TAD peri-
ods as shown in Figure 15-2.
For correct conversion, the appropriate TAD specifica-
tion must be met. Refer to the A/D conversion require-
ments in Section 29.0 “Electrical Specifications” for
more information. Table 15-1 gives examples of appro-
priate ADC clock selections.
Note: Analog voltages on any pin that is defined
as a digital input may cause the input buf-
fer to conduct excess current.
Note: Unless using the FRC, any changes in the
system clock frequency will change the
ADC clock frequency, which may
adversely affect the ADC result.

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

15.1.5 INTERRUPTS
The ADC module allows for the ability to generate an
interrupt upon completion of an Analog-to-Digital
conversion. The ADC Interrupt Flag is the ADIF bit in
the PIR1 register. The ADC Interrupt Enable is the
ADIE bit in the PIE1 register. The ADIF bit must be
cleared in software.
This interrupt can be generated while the device is
operating or while in Sleep. If the device is in Sleep, the
interrupt will wake-up the device. Upon waking from
Sleep, the next instruction following the SLEEP instruc-
tion is always executed. If the user is attempting to
wake-up from Sleep and resume in-line code execu-
tion, the GIE and PEIE bits of the INTCON register
must be disabled. If the GIE and PEIE bits of the
INTCON register are enabled, execution will switch to
the Interrupt Service Routine.
15.1.6 RESULT FORMATTING
The 10-bit A/D conversion result can be supplied in two
formats, left justified or right justified. The ADFM bit of
the ADCON1 register controls the output format.
Figure 15-3 shows the two output formats.
FIGURE 15-3: 10-BIT A/D CONVERSION RESULT FORMAT
Note 1: The ADIF bit is set at the completion of
every conversion, regardless of whether
or not the ADC interrupt is enabled.
2: The ADC operates during Sleep only
when the FRC oscillator is selected.

15.2 ADC Operation
15.2.1 STARTING A CONVERSION
To enable the ADC module, the ADON bit of the
ADCON0 register must be set to a1’. Setting the GO/
DONE bit of the ADCON0 register to a ‘1’ will start the
Analog-to-Digital conversion.
15.2.2 COMPLETION OF A CONVERSION
When the conversion is complete, the ADC module will:
Clear the GO/DONE bit
Set the ADIF Interrupt Flag bit
Update the ADRESH and ADRESL registers with
new conversion result
15.2.3 TERMINATING A CONVERSION
If a conversion must be terminated before completion,
the GO/DONE bit can be cleared in software. The
ADRESH and ADRESL registers will be updated with
the partially complete Analog-to-Digital conversion
sample. Incomplete bits will match the last bit
converted.
15.2.4 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 waits one additional instruction before starting the
conversion. This allows the SLEEP instruction to be
executed, which can reduce system noise during the
conversion. If the ADC interrupt is enabled, the device
will wake-up from Sleep when the conversion
completes. If the ADC interrupt is disabled, the ADC
module is turned off after the conversion completes,
although the ADON bit remains set.
When the ADC clock source is something other than
FRC, a SLEEP instruction causes the present conver-
sion to be aborted and the ADC module is turned off,
although the ADON bit remains set.
15.2.5 AUTO-CONVERSION TRIGGER
The auto-conversion trigger allows periodic ADC mea-
surements without software intervention. When a rising
edge of the selected source occurs, the GO/DONE bit
is set by hardware.
The auto-conversion trigger source is selected with the
TRIGSEL<3:0> bits of the ADCON2 register.
Using the auto-conversion trigger does not assure
proper ADC timing. It is the user’s responsibility to
ensure that the ADC timing requirements are met.
Auto-Conversion sources are:
•TMR0
•TMR1
•TMR2
•C1
•C2
•CLC1
•CLC2
•CLC3
•CLC4
Note: The GO/DONE bit should not be set in the
same instruction that turns on the ADC.
Refer to Section 15.2.6 “A/D Conver-
sion Procedure”.
Note: A device Reset forces all registers to their
Reset state. Thus, the ADC module is
turned off and any pending conversion is
terminated.

DS41609A-page 140 Preliminary 2011 Microchip Technology Inc.
15.2.6 A/D CONVERSION PROCEDURE
This is an example procedure for using the ADC to
perform an Analog-to-Digital conversion:
1. Configure Port:
Disable pin output driver (Refer to the TRIS
register)
Configure pin as analog (Refer to the ANSEL
register)
2. Configure the ADC module:
Select ADC conversion clock
Configure voltage reference
Select ADC input channel
Turn on ADC module
3. Configure ADC interrupt (optional):
Clear ADC interrupt flag
Enable ADC interrupt
Enable peripheral interrupt
Enable global interrupt(1)
4. Wait the required acquisition time(2).
5. Start conversion by setting the GO/DONE bit.
6. Wait for ADC conversion to complete by one of
the following:
Polling the GO/DONE bit
Waiting for the ADC interrupt (interrupts
enabled)
7. Read ADC Result.
8. Clear the ADC interrupt flag (required if interrupt
is enabled).
EXAMPLE 15-1: A/D CONVERSION
Note 1: The global interrupt can be disabled if the
user is attempting to wake-up from Sleep
and resume in-line code execution.

15.3 A/D Acquisition Requirements
For the ADC to meet its specified accuracy, the charge
holding capacitor (CHOLD) must be allowed to fully
charge to the input channel voltage level. The Analog
Input model is shown in Figure 15-4. The source
impedance (RS) and the internal sampling switch (RSS)
impedance directly affect the time required to charge
the capacitor CHOLD. The sampling switch (RSS)
impedance varies over the device voltage (VDD), refer
to Figure 15-4. 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 15-1 may be
used. This equation assumes that 1/2 LSb error is used
(1,024 steps for the ADC). The 1/2 LSb error is the
maximum error allowed for the ADC to meet its
specified resolution.

16.0 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+ pin
•V
DD supply voltage
The output of the DAC can be configured to supply a
reference voltage to the following:
Comparator positive input
ADC input channel
•DACOUT1 pin
•DACOUT2 pin
The Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) can be enabled
by setting the DACEN bit of the DACCON0 register.
16.1 Output Voltage Selection
The DAC has 32 voltage level ranges. The 32 levels
are set with the DACR<4:0> bits of the DACCON1
register.
The DAC output voltage is determined by the following
equations:
EQUATION 16-1: DAC OUTPUT VOLTAGE
16.2 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 29.0 “Electrical
Specifications”.
16.3 DAC Voltage Reference Output
The DAC voltage can be output to the DACOUT1 and
DACOUT2 pins by setting the respective DACOE1 and
DACOE2 pins of the DACCON0 register. Selecting the
DAC reference voltage for output on either DACOUTx
pin automatically overrides the digital output buffer and
digital input threshold detector functions of that pin.
Reading the DACOUTx pin when it has been config-
ured for DAC reference voltage output will always
return a ‘0’.
Due to the limited current drive capability, a buffer must
be used on the DAC voltage reference output for
external connections to either DACOUTx pin.
Figure 16-2 shows an example buffering technique.

When the device wakes up from Sleep through an
interrupt or a Watchdog Timer time-out, the contents of
the DACCON0 register are not affected. To minimize
current consumption in Sleep mode, the voltage
reference should be disabled.

17.0 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.
Comparators are very useful mixed signal building
blocks because they provide analog functionality
independent of program execution. The analog
comparator module includes the following features:
Independent comparator control
Programmable input selection
Comparator output is available internally/externally
Programmable output polarity
Interrupt-on-change
Wake-up from Sleep
Programmable Speed/Power optimization
•PWM shutdown
Programmable and Fixed Voltage Reference
17.1 Comparator Overview
A single comparator is shown in Figure 17-1 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 output of the comparator is a digital high level.

17.2 Comparator Control
Each comparator has 2 control registers: CMxCON0 and
CMxCON1.
The CMxCON0 registers (see Register 17-1) contain
Control and Status bits for the following:
Enable
•Output selection
Output polarity
Speed/Power selection
Hysteresis enable
Output synchronization
The CMxCON1 registers (see Register 17-2) contain
Control bits for the following:
Interrupt enable
Interrupt edge polarity
Positive input channel selection
Negative input channel selection
17.2.1 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.
17.2.2 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 CMOUT 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
17.2.3 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 results in a non-inverted output.
Table 17-1 shows the output state versus input
conditions, including polarity control.
17.2.4 COMPARATOR SPEED/POWER
SELECTION
The trade-off between speed or power can be opti-
mized 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 comparator propaga-
tion delay by clearing the CxSP bit to ‘0’.
Note 1: The CxOE bit of the CMxCON0 register
overrides the PORT data latch. Setting
the CxON bit of the CMxCON0 register
has no impact on the port override.
2: The internal output of the comparator is
latched with each instruction cycle.
Unless otherwise specified, external
outputs are not latched.

DS41609A-page 156 Preliminary 2011 Microchip Technology Inc.
17.3 Comparator Hysteresis
A selectable amount of separation voltage can be
added to the input pins of each comparator to provide a
hysteresis function to the overall operation. Hysteresis
is enabled by setting the CxHYS bit of the CMxCON0
register.
See Section 29.0 “Electrical Specifications for
more information.
17.4 Timer1 Gate Operation
The output resulting from a comparator operation can
be used as a source for gate control of Timer1. See
Section 19.5 “Timer1 Gate” for more information.
This feature is useful for timing the duration or interval
of an analog event.
It is recommended that the comparator output be syn-
chronized to Timer1. This ensures that Timer1 does not
increment while a change in the comparator is occur-
ring.
17.4.1 COMPARATOR OUTPUT
SYNCHRONIZATION
The output from either comparator, C1 or C2, can be
synchronized with Timer1 by setting the CxSYNC bit of
the CMxCON0 register.
Once enabled, the comparator output is latched on the
falling edge of the Timer1 source clock. If a prescaler is
used with Timer1, the comparator output is latched after
the prescaling function. To prevent a race condition, the
comparator output is latched on the falling edge of the
Timer1 clock source and Timer1 increments on the
rising edge of its clock source. See the Comparator
Block Diagram (Figure 17-2) and the Timer1 Block
Diagram (Figure 19-1) for more information.
17.5 Comparator Interrupt
An interrupt can be generated upon a change in the
output value of the comparator for each comparator, a
rising edge detector and a falling edge detector are
present.
When either edge detector is triggered and its associ-
ated enable bit is set (CxINTP and/or CxINTN bits of
the CMxCON1 register), the Corresponding Interrupt
Flag bit (CxIF bit of the PIR2 register) will be set.
To enable the interrupt, you must set the following bits:
CxON, CxPOL and CxSP bits of the CMxCON0
register
CxIE bit of the PIE2 register
CxINTP bit of the CMxCON1 register (for a rising
edge detection)
CxINTN bit of the CMxCON1 register (for a falling
edge detection)
PEIE and GIE bits of the INTCON register
The associated interrupt flag bit, CxIF bit of the PIR2
register, must be cleared in software. If another edge is
detected while this flag is being cleared, the flag will still
be set at the end of the sequence.
17.6 Comparator Positive Input
Selection
Configuring the CxPCH<1:0> bits of the CMxCON1
register directs an internal voltage reference or an
analog pin to the non-inverting input of the comparator:
CxIN+ analog pin
•DAC
FVR (Fixed Voltage Reference)
•V
SS (Ground)
See Section 13.0 “Fixed Voltage Reference (FVR)”
for more information on the Fixed Voltage Reference
module.
See Section 16.0 “Digital-to-Analog Converter
(DAC) Module” for more information on the DAC input
signal.
Any time the comparator is disabled (CxON = 0), all
comparator inputs are disabled.
Note: Although a comparator is disabled, an
interrupt can be generated by changing
the output polarity with the CxPOL bit of
the CMxCON0 register, or by switching
the comparator on or off with the CxON bit
of the CMxCON0 register.

PIC16(L)F1508/9
17.7 Comparator Negative Input
Selection
The CxNCH<2:0> bits of the CMxCON0 register direct
one of the input sources to the comparator inverting
input.
17.8 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 reference voltage. This period is referred 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 Refer-
ence Specifications in Section 29.0 “Electrical Specifi-
cations” for more details.
17.9 Interaction with ECCP Logic
The C1 and C2 comparators can be used as general
purpose comparators. Their outputs can be brought
out to the C1OUT and C2OUT pins. When the ECCP
Auto-Shutdown is active it can use one or both
comparator signals. If auto-restart is also enabled, the
comparators can be configured as a closed loop
analog feedback to the ECCP, thereby, creating an
analog controlled PWM.
17.10 Analog Input Connection
Considerations
A simplified circuit for an analog input is shown in
Figure 17-3. 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 input, therefore, must be between VSS and VDD.
If the input voltage deviates from this range by more
than 0.6V in either direction, one of the diodes is for-
ward 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 analog input pin, such as a capacitor or
a Zener diode, should have very little leakage current to
minimize inaccuracies introduced.
Note: To use CxIN+ and CxINx- pins as analog
input, the appropriate bits must be set in
the ANSEL register and the correspond-
ing TRIS bits must also be set to disable
the output drivers.
Note: When the comparator module is first
initialized the output state is unknown.
Upon initialization, the user should verify
the output state of the comparator prior to
relying on the result, primarily when using
the result in connection with other
peripheral features, such as the ECCP
Auto-Shutdown mode.
Note 1: When reading a PORT register, all pins
configured as analog inputs will 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
digital input, may cause the input buffer to
consume more current than is specified.

18.0 TIMER0 MODULE
The Timer0 module is an 8-bit timer/counter with the
following features:
8-bit timer/counter register (TMR0)
8-bit prescaler (independent of Watchdog Timer)
Programmable internal or external clock source
Programmable external clock edge selection
Interrupt on overflow
TMR0 can be used to gate Timer1
Figure 18-1 is a block diagram of the Timer0 module.
18.1 Timer0 Operation
The Timer0 module can be used as either an 8-bit timer
or an 8-bit counter.
18.1.1 8-BIT TIMER MODE
The Timer0 module will increment every instruction
cycle, if used without a prescaler. 8-Bit Timer mode is
selected by clearing the TMR0CS bit of the
OPTION_REG register.
When TMR0 is written, the increment is inhibited for
two instruction cycles immediately following the write.
18.1.2 8-BIT COUNTER MODE
In 8-Bit Counter mode, the Timer0 module will increment
on every rising or falling edge of the T0CKI pin.
8-Bit Counter mode using the T0CKI pin is selected by
setting the TMR0CS bit in the OPTION_REG register to
1’.
The rising or falling transition of the incrementing edge
for either input source is determined by the TMR0SE bit
in the OPTION_REG register.
FIGURE 18-1: BLOCK DIAGRAM OF THE TIMER0
Note: The value written to the TMR0 register
can be adjusted, in order to account for
the two instruction cycle delay when
TMR0 is written.

18.1.3 SOFTWARE PROGRAMMABLE
PRESCALER
A software programmable prescaler is available for
exclusive use with Timer0. The prescaler is enabled by
clearing the PSA bit of the OPTION_REG register.
There are 8 prescaler options for the Timer0 module
ranging from 1:2 to 1:256. The prescale values are
selectable via the PS<2:0> bits of the OPTION_REG
register. In order to have a 1:1 prescaler value for the
Timer0 module, the prescaler must be disabled by set-
ting the PSA bit of the OPTION_REG register.
The prescaler is not readable or writable. All instructions
writing to the TMR0 register will clear the prescaler.
18.1.4 TIMER0 INTERRUPT
Timer0 will generate an interrupt when the TMR0
register overflows from FFh to 00h. The TMR0IF
interrupt flag bit of the INTCON register is set every
time the TMR0 register overflows, regardless of
whether or not the Timer0 interrupt is enabled. The
TMR0IF bit can only be cleared in software. The Timer0
interrupt enable is the TMR0IE bit of the INTCON
register.
18.1.5 8-BIT COUNTER MODE
SYNCHRONIZATION
When in 8-Bit Counter mode, the incrementing edge on
the T0CKI pin must be synchronized to the instruction
clock. Synchronization can be accomplished by
sampling the prescaler output on the Q2 and Q4 cycles
of the instruction clock. The high and low periods of the
external clocking source must meet the timing
requirements as shown in Section 29.0 “Electrical
Specifications.
18.1.6 OPERATION DURING SLEEP
Timer0 cannot operate while the processor is in Sleep
mode. The contents of the TMR0 register will remain
unchanged while the processor is in Sleep mode.
Note: The Watchdog Timer (WDT) uses its own
independent prescaler.
Note: The Timer0 interrupt cannot wake the
processor from Sleep since the timer is
frozen during Sleep.

19.1 Timer1 Operation
The Timer1 module is a 16-bit incrementing counter
which is accessed through the TMR1H:TMR1L register
pair. Writes to TMR1H or TMR1L directly update the
counter.
When used with an internal clock source, the module is
a timer and increments on every instruction cycle.
When used with an external clock source, the module
can be used as either a timer or counter and incre-
ments on every selected edge of the external source.
Timer1 is enabled by configuring the TMR1ON and
TMR1GE bits in the T1CON and T1GCON registers,
respectively. Table 19-1 displays the Timer1 enable
selections.
19.2 Clock Source Selection
The TMR1CS<1:0> bits of the T1CON register are used
to select the clock source for Timer1. Table 19- 2
displays the clock source selections.
19.2.1 INTERNAL CLOCK SOURCE
When the internal clock source is selected the
TMR1H:TMR1L register pair will increment on multiples
of FOSC as determined by the Timer1 prescaler.
When the FOSC internal clock source is selected, the
Timer1 register value will increment by four counts every
instruction clock cycle. Due to this condition, a 2 LSB
error in resolution will occur when reading the Timer1
value. To utilize the full resolution of Timer1, an
asynchronous input signal must be used to gate the
Timer1 clock input.
The following asynchronous sources may be used:
Asynchronous event on the T1G pin to Timer1
gate
19.2.2 EXTERNAL CLOCK SOURCE
When the external clock source is selected, the Timer1
module may work as a timer or a counter.
When enabled to count, Timer1 is incremented on the
rising edge of the external clock input T1CKI. The
external clock source can be synchronized to the
microcontroller system clock or it can run
asynchronously.

19.3 Timer1 Prescaler
Timer1 has four prescaler options allowing 1, 2, 4 or 8
divisions of the clock input. The T1CKPS bits of the
T1CON register control the prescale counter. The
prescale counter is not directly readable or writable;
however, the prescaler counter is cleared upon a write to
TMR1H or TMR1L.
19.4 Timer1 Operation in
Asynchronous Counter Mode
If control bit T1SYNC of the T1CON register is set, the
external clock input is not synchronized. The timer
increments asynchronously to the internal phase
clocks. If the external clock source is selected then the
timer will continue to run during Sleep and can
generate an interrupt on overflow, which will wake-up
the processor. However, special precautions in
software are needed to read/write the timer (see
Section 19.4.1 “Reading and Writing Timer1 in
Asynchronous Counter Mode”).
19.4.1 READING AND WRITING TIMER1 IN
ASYNCHRONOUS COUNTER
MODE
Reading TMR1H or TMR1L while the timer is running
from an external asynchronous clock will ensure a valid
read (taken care of in hardware). However, the user
should keep in mind that reading the 16-bit timer in two
8-bit values itself, poses certain problems, since the
timer may overflow between the reads.
For writes, it is recommended that the user simply stop
the timer and write the desired values. A write
contention may occur by writing to the timer registers,
while the register is incrementing. This may produce an
unpredictable value in the TMR1H:TMR1L register pair.
19.5 Timer1 Gate
Timer1 can be configured to count freely or the count
can be enabled and disabled using Timer1 gate
circuitry. This is also referred to as Timer1 Gate Enable.
Timer1 gate can also be driven by multiple selectable
sources.
19.5.1 TIMER1 GATE ENABLE
The Timer1 Gate Enable mode is enabled by setting
the TMR1GE bit of the T1GCON register. The polarity
of the Timer1 Gate Enable mode is configured using
the T1GPOL bit of the T1GCON register.
When Timer1 Gate Enable mode is enabled, Timer1
will increment on the rising edge of the Timer1 clock
source. When Timer1 Gate Enable mode is disabled,
no incrementing will occur and Timer1 will hold the
current count. See Figure 19-3 for timing details.
19.5.2 TIMER1 GATE SOURCE
SELECTION
Timer1 gate source selections are shown in Table 19-4.
Source selection is controlled by the T1GSS<1:0> bits
of the T1GCON register. The polarity for each available
source is also selectable. Polarity selection is controlled
by the T1GPOL bit of the T1GCON register.
TABLE 19-4: TIMER1 GATE SOURCES
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.

The T1G pin is one source for Timer1 Gate Control. It
can be used to supply an external source to the Timer1
gate circuitry.
19.5.2.2 Timer0 Overflow Gate Operation
When Timer0 increments from FFh to 00h, a low-to-
high pulse will automatically be generated and inter-
nally supplied to the Timer1 gate circuitry.
19.5.3 TIMER1 GATE TOGGLE MODE
When Timer1 Gate Toggle mode is enabled, it is possi-
ble to measure the full-cycle length of a Timer1 gate
signal, as opposed to the duration of a single level
pulse.
The Timer1 gate source is routed through a flip-flop that
changes state on every incrementing edge of the sig-
nal. See Figure 19-4 for timing details.
Timer1 Gate Toggle mode is enabled by setting the
T1GTM bit of the T1GCON register. When the T1GTM
bit is cleared, the flip-flop is cleared and held clear. This
is necessary in order to control which edge is
measured.
19.5.4 TIMER1 GATE SINGLE-PULSE
MODE
When Timer1 Gate Single-Pulse mode is enabled, it is
possible to capture a single pulse gate event. Timer1
Gate Single-Pulse mode is first enabled by setting the
T1GSPM bit in the T1GCON register. Next, the T1GGO/
DONE bit in the T1GCON register must be set. The
Timer1 will be fully enabled on the next incrementing
edge. On the next trailing edge of the pulse, the T1GGO/
DONE bit will automatically be cleared. No other gate
events will be allowed to increment Timer1 until the
T1GGO/DONE bit is once again set in software. See
Figure 19-5 for timing details.
If the Single Pulse Gate mode is disabled by clearing the
T1GSPM bit in the T1GCON register, the T1GGO/DONE
bit should also be cleared.
Enabling the Toggle mode and the Single-Pulse mode
simultaneously will permit both sections to work
together. This allows the cycle times on the Timer1 gate
source to be measured. See Figure 19-6 for timing
details.
19.5.5 TIMER1 GATE VALUE STATUS
When Timer1 Gate Value Status is utilized, it is possible
to read the most current level of the gate control value.
The value is stored in the T1GVAL bit in the T1GCON
register. The T1GVAL bit is valid even when the Timer1
gate is not enabled (TMR1GE bit is cleared).
19.5.6 TIMER1 GATE EVENT INTERRUPT
When Timer1 Gate Event Interrupt is enabled, it is pos-
sible to generate an interrupt upon the completion of a
gate event. When the falling edge of T1GVAL occurs,
the TMR1GIF flag bit in the PIR1 register will be set. If
the TMR1GIE bit in the PIE1 register is set, then an
interrupt will be recognized.
The TMR1GIF flag bit operates even when the Timer1
gate is not enabled (TMR1GE bit is cleared).
Note: Enabling Toggle mode at the same time
as changing the gate polarity may result in
indeterminate operation.

PIC16(L)F1508/9
19.6 Timer1 Interrupt
The Timer1 register pair (TMR1H:TMR1L) increments
to FFFFh and rolls over to 0000h. When Timer1 rolls
over, the Timer1 interrupt flag bit of the PIR1 register is
set. To enable the interrupt on rollover, you must set
these bits:
TMR1ON bit of the T1CON register
TMR1IE bit of the PIE1 register
PEIE bit of the INTCON register
GIE bit of the INTCON register
The interrupt is cleared by clearing the TMR1IF bit in
the Interrupt Service Routine.
19.7 Timer1 Operation During Sleep
Timer1 can only operate during Sleep when setup in
Asynchronous Counter mode. In this mode, an external
crystal or clock source can be used to increment the
counter. To set up the timer to wake the device:
TMR1ON bit of the T1CON register must be set
TMR1IE bit of the PIE1 register must be set
PEIE bit of the INTCON register must be set
T1SYNC bit of the T1CON register must be set
TMR1CS bits of the T1CON register must be
configured
The device will wake-up on an overflow and execute
the next instructions. If the GIE bit of the INTCON
register is set, the device will call the Interrupt Service
Routine.
Timer1 oscillator will continue to operate in Sleep
regardless of the T1SYNC bit setting.
19.7.1 ALTERNATE PIN LOCATIONS
This module incorporates I/O pins that can be moved to
other locations with the use of the alternate pin function
register, APFCON. To determine which pins can be
moved and what their default locations are upon a
Reset, see Section 11.1 “Alternate Pin Function” for
more information.
FIGURE 19-2: TIMER1 INCREMENTING EDGE

20.1 Timer2 Operation
The clock input to the Timer2 module is the system
instruction clock (FOSC/4).
TMR2 increments from 00h on each clock edge.
A 4-bit counter/prescaler on the clock input allows direct
input, divide-by-4 and divide-by-16 prescale options.
These options are selected by the prescaler control bits,
T2CKPS<1:0> of the T2CON register. The value of
TMR2 is compared to that of the Period register, PR2, on
each clock cycle. When the two values match, the
comparator generates a match signal as the timer
output. This signal also resets the value of TMR2 to 00h
on the next cycle and drives the output counter/
postscaler (see Section 20.2 “Timer2 Interrupt”).
The TMR2 and PR2 registers are both directly readable
and writable. The TMR2 register is cleared on any
device Reset, whereas the PR2 register initializes to
FFh. Both the prescaler and postscaler counters are
cleared on the following events:
a write to the TMR2 register
a write to the T2CON register
Power-on Reset (POR)
Brown-out Reset (BOR)
•MCLR
Reset
Watchdog Timer (WDT) Reset
Stack Overflow Reset
Stack Underflow Reset

20.2 Timer2 Interrupt
Timer2 can also generate an optional device interrupt.
The Timer2 output signal (TMR2-to-PR2 match)
provides the input for the 4-bit counter/postscaler. This
counter generates the TMR2 match interrupt flag which
is latched in TMR2IF of the PIR1 register. The interrupt
is enabled by setting the TMR2 Match Interrupt Enable
bit, TMR2IE of the PIE1 register.
A range of 16 postscale options (from 1:1 through 1:16
inclusive) can be selected with the postscaler control
bits, T2OUTPS<3:0>, of the T2CON register.
20.3 Timer2 Output
The unscaled output of TMR2 is available primarily to
the PWMx module, where it is used as a time base for
operation.
20.4 Timer2 Operation During Sleep
Timer2 cannot be operated while the processor is in
Sleep mode. The contents of the TMR2 and PR2
registers will remain unchanged while the processor is
in Sleep mode.
Note: TMR2 is not cleared when T2CON is
written.

21.2 SPI Mode Overview
The Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) bus is a
synchronous serial data communication bus that
operates in Full-Duplex mode. Devices communicate
in a master/slave environment where the master device
initiates the communication. A slave device is
controlled through a Chip Select known as Slave
Select.
The SPI bus specifies four signal connections:
Serial Clock (SCKx)
Serial Data Out (SDOx)
Serial Data In (SDIx)
Slave Select (SSx)
Figure 21-1 shows the block diagram of the MSSP
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 con-
nection is required from the master device to each
slave device.
Figure 21-4 shows a typical connection between a
master device and multiple slave devices.
The master selects only one slave at a time. Most slave
devices have tri-state outputs so their output signal
appears disconnected from the bus when they are not
selected.
Transmissions involve two shift registers, eight bits in
size, one in the master and one in the slave. With either
the master or the slave device, data is always shifted
out one bit at a time, with the Most Significant bit (MSb)
shifted out first. At the same time, a new Least
Significant bit (LSb) is shifted into the same register.
Figure 21-5 shows a typical connection between two
processors configured as master and slave devices.
Data is shifted out of both shift registers on the pro-
grammed 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, the slave’s SDIx input pin. The slave device trans-
mits information out on its SDOx output pin, which is
connected to, and received by, the master’s SDIx input
pin.
To begin communication, the master device first sends
out the clock signal. Both the master and the slave
devices should be configured for the same clock polar-
ity.
The master device starts a transmission by sending out
the MSb from its shift register. The slave device reads
this bit from that same line and saves it into the LSb
position of its shift register.
During each SPI clock cycle, a full-duplex data
transmission occurs. This means that while the master
device is sending out the MSb from its shift register (on
its SDOx pin) and the slave device is reading this bit
and saving it as the LSb of its shift register, that the
slave device is also sending out the MSb from its shift
register (on its SDOx pin) and the master device is
reading this bit and saving it as the LSb of its shift
register.
After 8 bits have been shifted out, the master and slave
have exchanged register values.
If there is more data to exchange, the shift registers are
loaded with new data and the process repeats itself.
Whether the data is meaningful or not (dummy data),
depends on the application software. This leads to
three scenarios for data transmission:
Master sends useful data and slave sends dummy
data.
Master sends useful data and slave sends useful
data.
Master sends dummy data and slave sends useful
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 dese-
lects 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 21-4: SPI MASTER AND MULTIPLE SLAVE CONNECTION
21.2.1 SPI MODE REGISTERS
The MSSP module has five registers for SPI mode
operation. These are:
MSSP STATUS register (SSPxSTAT)
MSSP Control Register 1 (SSPxCON1)
MSSP Control Register 3 (SSPxCON3)
MSSP Data Buffer register (SSPxBUF)
MSSP Address register (SSPxADD)
MSSP 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 bits of the SSPxSTAT are read-only. The
upper two bits of the SSPxSTAT are read/write.
In SPI master mode, SSPxADD can be loaded with a
value used in the Baud Rate Generator. More informa-
tion on the Baud Rate Generator is available in
Section 21.7 “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 complete byte, it is transferred to SSPxBUF
and the SSPxIF interrupt is set.
During transmission, the SSPxBUF is not buffered. A
write to SSPxBUF will write to both SSPxBUF and
SSPxSR.

21.2.2 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 Polarity (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, SSP Enable bit, SSPEN of the
SSPxCON1 register, must be set. To reset or reconfig-
ure SPI mode, clear the SSPEN bit, re-initialize the
SSPxCONx registers and then set the SSPEN bit. This
configures the SDI, SDO, SCK and SS pins as serial
port pins. For the pins to behave as the serial port func-
tion, some must have their data direction bits (in the
TRIS register) appropriately programmed as follows:
SDIx must have corresponding TRIS bit set
SDOx must have corresponding 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 MSSP consists of a transmit/receive shift register
(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 bits of data have been received, that byte is moved to
the SSPxBUF register. Then, the Buffer Full Detect bit,
BF of the SSPxSTAT register, and the interrupt flag bit,
SSPxIF, are set. This double-buffering of the received
data (SSPxBUF) allows the next byte to start reception
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 software 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 data 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 MSSP interrupt is used to determine when the
transmission/reception has completed. If the interrupt
method is not going to be used, then software polling
can be done to ensure that a write collision does not
occur.
The SSPxSR is not directly readable or writable and
can only be accessed by addressing the SSPxBUF
register. Additionally, the SSPxSTAT register indicates
the various Status conditions.

21.2.3 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 21-5)
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 going to receive, the SDOx output could be dis-
abled (programmed as an input). The SSPxSR register
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 loaded into the SSPxBUF register as
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 21-6, Figure 21-9 and Figure 21-10,
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)
•F
OSC/16 (or 4 * TCY)
•F
OSC/64 (or 16 * TCY)
Timer2 output/2
Fosc/(4 * (SSPxADD + 1))
Figure 21-6 shows the waveforms for Master mode.
When the CKE bit is set, the SDOx data is valid before
there is a clock edge on SCKx. The change of the input
sample is shown based on the state of the SMP bit. The
time when the SSPxBUF is loaded with the received
data is shown.

21.2.4 SPI SLAVE MODE
In Slave mode, the data is transmitted and received as
external clock pulses appear on SCKx. When the last
bit is latched, the SSPxIF interrupt flag bit is set.
Before enabling the module in SPI Slave mode, the clock
line must match the proper Idle state. The clock line can
be observed by reading the 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.
21.2.4.1 Daisy-Chain Configuration
The SPI bus can sometimes be connected in a
daisy-chain configuration. The first slave output is con-
nected 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 21-7 shows the block diagram of a typical
daisy-chain connection when operating 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 register will enable writes
to the SSPxBUF register, even if the previous byte has
not been read. This allows the software to ignore data
that may not apply to it.
21.2.5 SLAVE SELECT
SYNCHRONIZATION
The Slave Select can also be used to synchronize com-
munication. The Slave Select line is held high until the
master device is ready to communicate. When the
Slave Select line is pulled low, the slave knows that a
new transmission is starting.
If the slave fails to receive the communication properly,
it will be reset at the end of the transmission, when the
Slave Select line returns to a high state. The slave is
then ready to receive a new transmission when the
Slave Select line is pulled low again. If the Slave Select
line is not used, there is a risk that the slave will even-
tually become out of sync with the master. If the slave
misses a bit, it will always be one bit off in future trans-
missions. Use of the Slave Select line allows the slave
and master to align themselves at the beginning of
each transmission.
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 the SSx pin goes high, 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’. This can be done by either forcing the SSx pin to
a high level or clearing the SSPEN 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 used in Slave 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.

21.2.6 SPI OPERATION IN SLEEP MODE
In SPI Master mode, module clocks may be operating
at a different speed than when in Full-Power mode; in
the case of the Sleep mode, all clocks are halted.
Special care must be taken by the user when the MSSP
clock is much faster than the system clock.
In Slave mode, when MSSP interrupts are enabled,
after the master completes sending data, an MSSP
interrupt will wake the controller from Sleep.
If an exit from Sleep mode is not desired, MSSP inter-
rupts should be disabled.
In SPI Master mode, when the Sleep mode is selected,
all module clocks are halted and the transmis-
sion/reception will remain in that state until the device
wakes. After the device returns to Run mode, the mod-
ule will resume transmitting and receiving data.
In SPI Slave mode, the SPI Transmit/Receive Shift
register operates asynchronously to the device. This
allows the device to be placed in Sleep mode and data
to be shifted into the SPI Transmit/Receive Shift
register. When all 8 bits have been received, the MSSP
interrupt flag bit will be set and if enabled, will wake the
device.

21.3 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:
Serial Clock (SCLx)
Serial Data (SDAx)
Figure 21-2 and Figure 21-3 show the block diagrams
of the MSSP module when operating in I2C mode.
Both the SCLx and SDAx connections are bidirectional
open-drain lines, each requiring pull-up resistors for the
supply voltage. Pulling the line to ground is considered
a logical zero and letting the line float is considered a
logical one.
Figure 21-11 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 modes of operation for a given
device:
Master Transmit mode
(master is transmitting data to a slave)
Master Receive mode
(master is receiving data from a slave)
•Slave Transmit mode
(slave is transmitting data to a master)
Slave Receive mode
(slave is receiving data from the master)
To begin communication, a master device starts out in
Master Transmit mode. The master device sends out a
Start bit followed by the address byte of the slave it
intends to communicate with. This is followed by a sin-
gle Read/Write bit, which determines whether the mas-
ter intends to transmit to or receive data from the slave
device.
If the requested slave exists on the bus, it will respond
with an Acknowledge bit, otherwise known as an ACK.
The master then continues in either Transmit mode or
Receive mode and the slave continues in the comple-
ment, either in Receive mode or Transmit mode,
respectively.
A Start bit is indicated by a high-to-low transition of the
SDAx line while the SCLx line is held high. Address and
data bytes are sent out, Most Significant bit (MSb) first.
The Read/Write bit is sent out as a logical one when the
master intends to read data from the slave, and is sent
out as a logical zero when it intends to write data to the
slave.
FIGURE 21-11: I2C MASTER/
SLAVE CONNECTION
The Acknowledge bit (ACK) is an active-low signal,
which holds the SDAx line low to indicate to the trans-
mitter that the slave device has received the transmit-
ted data and is ready to receive more.
The transition of a 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 repeat-
edly sends out a byte of data, with the slave responding
after each byte with an ACK bit. In this example, the
master device is in Master Transmit mode and the
slave is in Slave Receive mode.
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 exam-
ple, the master device is in Master Receive mode and
the slave is Slave Transmit mode.
On the last byte of data communicated, the master
device may end the transmission by sending a Stop bit.
If the master device is in Receive mode, it sends the
Stop bit in place of the last ACK bit. A Stop bit is indi-
cated 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 the Stop bit or last ACK bit when it is in receive
mode.
The I2C bus specifies three message 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.

PIC16(L)F1508/9
When one device is transmitting a logical one, or letting
the line float, and a second device is transmitting a log-
ical zero, or holding the line low, the first device can
detect that the line is not a logical one. This detection,
when used on the SCLx line, is called clock stretching.
Clock stretching gives slave devices a mechanism to
control the flow of data. When this detection is used on
the SDAx line, it is called arbitration. Arbitration
ensures that there is only one master device communi-
cating at any single time.
21.3.1 CLOCK STRETCHING
When a slave device has not completed processing
data, it can delay the transfer of more data through the
process of clock stretching. An addressed slave device
may hold the SCLx clock line low after receiving or
sending a bit, indicating that it is not yet ready to con-
tinue. 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.
21.3.2 ARBITRATION
Each master device must monitor the bus for Start and
Stop bits. If the device detects that the bus is busy, it
cannot begin a new message until the bus returns to an
Idle state.
However, two master devices may try to initiate a trans-
mission on or about the same time. When this occurs,
the process of arbitration begins. Each transmitter
checks the level of the SDAx data line and compares it
to the level that it expects to find. The first transmitter to
observe that the two levels do not match, loses arbitra-
tion, 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 stop driving the SCLx line. It then can monitor the
lines for a Stop condition before trying to reissue its
transmission. In the meantime, the other device that
has not noticed any difference between the expected
and actual levels on the SDAx line continues with its
original transmission. It can do so without any compli-
cations, because so far, the transmission appears
exactly as expected with no other transmitter disturbing
the message.
Slave Transmit mode can also be arbitrated, when a
master addresses multiple slaves, but this is less com-
mon.
If two master devices are sending a message to two dif-
ferent slave devices at the address stage, the master
sending the lower slave address always wins arbitra-
tion. 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 neces-
sary process for proper multi-master support.

21.4 I2C MODE OPERATION
All MSSP I2C communication is byte oriented and
shifted out MSb first. Six SFR registers and 2 interrupt
flags interface the module with the PIC® microcon-
troller and user software. Two pins, SDAx and SCLx,
are exercised by the module to communicate with
other external I2C devices.
21.4.1 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, fol-
lowed 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.
21.4.2 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 explanation.
This table was adapted from the Philips I2C
specification.
21.4.3 SDAX AND SCLX PINS
Selection of any I2C mode with the SSPEN bit set,
forces the SCLx and SDAx pins to be open-drain.
These pins should be set by the user to inputs by set-
ting the appropriate TRIS bits.
21.4.4 SDAX HOLD TIME
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.
TABLE 21-2: I2C BUS TERMS
Note: Data is tied to output zero when an I2C
mode is enabled.
TERM Description
Transmitter The device which shifts data out
onto the bus.
Receiver The device which shifts data in
from the bus.
Master The device that initiates a transfer,
generates clock signals and termi-
nates a transfer.
Slave The device addressed by the mas-
ter.
Multi-master A bus with more than one device
that can initiate data transfers.
Arbitration Procedure to ensure that only one
master at a time controls the bus.
Winning arbitration ensures that
the message is not corrupted.
Synchronization Procedure to synchronize the
clocks of two or more devices on
the bus.
Idle No master is controlling the bus,
and both SDAx and SCLx lines are
high.
Active Any time one or more master
devices are controlling the bus.
Addressed
Slave
Slave device that has received a
matching address and is actively
being clocked by a master.
Matching
Address
Address byte that is clocked into a
slave that matches the value
stored in SSPxADD.
Write Request Slave receives a matching
address with R/W bit clear, and is
ready to clock in data.
Read Request Master sends an address byte with
the R/W bit set, indicating that it
wishes to clock data out of the
Slave. This data is the next and all
following bytes until a Restart or
Stop.
Clock Stretching When a device on the bus hold
SCLx low to stall communication.
Bus Collision Any time the SDAx line is sampled
low by the module while it is out-
putting and expected high state.
2011 Microchip Technology Inc. Preliminary DS41609A-page 197
PIC16(L)F1508/9
21.4.5 START CONDITION
The I2C specification defines a Start condition as a
transition of SDAx from a high to a low state while
SCLx line is high. A Start condition is always gener-
ated by the master and signifies the transition of the
bus from an Idle to an Active state. Figure 21-12
shows wave forms for Start and Stop conditions.
A bus collision can occur on a Start condition if the
module samples the SDAx line low before asserting it
low. This does not conform to the I2C Specification that
states no bus collision can occur on a Start.
21.4.6 STOP CONDITION
A Stop condition is a transition of the SDAx line from
low-to-high state while the SCLx line is high.
21.4.7 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 clock in an
address. The master may want to address the same or
another slave.
In 10-bit Addressing Slave mode a Restart is required
for the master to clock data out of the addressed
slave. Once a slave has been fully addressed, match-
ing both high and low address bytes, the master can
issue a Restart and the high address byte with the
R/W bit set. The slave logic will then hold the clock
and prepare to clock out data.
After a full match with R/W clear in 10-bit mode, a prior
match flag is set and maintained. Until a Stop condi-
tion, a high address with R/W clear, or high address
match fails.
21.4.8 START/STOP CONDITION INTERRUPT
MASKING
The SCIE and PCIE bits of the SSPxCON3 register
can enable the generation of an interrupt in Slave
modes that do not typically support this function. Slave
modes where interrupt on Start and Stop detect are
already enabled, these bits will have no effect.
FIGURE 21-12: I2C START AND STOP CONDITIONS
FIGURE 21-13: I2C RESTART CONDITION
Note: At least one SCLx low time must appear
before a Stop is valid, therefore, if the SDAx
line goes low then high again while the SCLx
line stays high, only the Start condition is
detected.

21.4.9 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 reg-
ister 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 regis-
ter or the SSPOV bit of the SSPxCON1 register are
set when a byte 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 ACKTIM
Status bit is only active when the AHEN bit or DHEN
bit is enabled.
21.5 I2C Slave Mode Operation
The MSSP Slave mode operates in one of four modes
selected in the SSPM 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 operate the
same as the other modes with SSPxIF additionally
getting set upon detection of a Start, Restart, or Stop
condition.
21.5.1 SLAVE MODE ADDRESSES
The SSPxADD register (Register 21-6) 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 soft-
ware that anything happened.
The SSP Mask register (Register 21-5) affects the
address matching process. See Section 21.5.9
“SSPx Mask Register” for more information.
21.5.1.1 I2C Slave 7-bit Addressing Mode
In 7-bit Addressing mode, the LSb of the received data
byte is ignored when determining if there is an address
match.
21.5.1.2 I2C Slave 10-bit Addressing Mode
In 10-bit Addressing mode, the first received byte is
compared to the binary value of ‘1 1 1 1 0 A9 A8 0’. A9
and A8 are the two MSb of the 10-bit address and
stored in bits 2 and 1 of the 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 8 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 communi-
cation. A transmission can be initiated by issuing a
Restart once the slave is addressed, and clocking in
the high address with the R/W bit set. The slave hard-
ware will then acknowledge the read request and pre-
pare to clock out data. This is only valid for a slave
after it has received a complete high and low address
byte match.
21.5.2 SLAVE RECEPTION
When the R/W bit of a matching received address byte
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 SSPOV of the SSPxCON1 register
is set. The BOEN bit of the SSPxCON3 register modi-
fies this operation. For more information see
Register 21-4.
An MSSP interrupt is generated for each transferred
data byte. Flag bit, SSPxIF, must be cleared by soft-
ware.
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 21.2.3 “SPI
Master Mode” for more detail.

21.5.2.1 7-bit Addressing Reception
This section describes a standard sequence of events
for the MSSP module configured as an I2C Slave in
7-bit Addressing mode. Figure 21-14 and Figure 21-15
are used as visual references 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 inter-
rupt on Start detect is enabled.
3. Matching address with R/W bit clear is received.
4. The slave pulls 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.
21.5.2.2 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 additional interrupts allow the
slave software to decide whether it wants to ACK the
receive address or data byte, rather than the hard-
ware. This functionality adds 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 commun-
cation. Figure 21-16 displays a module using both
address and data holding. Figure 21-17 includes the
operation with the SEN bit of the SSPxCON2 register
set.
1. S bit of SSPxSTAT is set; SSPxIF is set if inter-
rupt 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 value clocked out to the master
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 polling the P bit of the SSPSTAT register.
Note: SSPxIF is still set after the 9th falling edge of
SCLx even if there is no clock stretching and
BF has been cleared. Only if NACK is sent
to master is SSPxIF not set

21.5.3 SLAVE TRANSMISSION
When the R/W bit of the incoming address byte 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 register, 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 21.5.6
“Clock Stretching for more detail). By stretching the
clock, the master will be unable to assert another clock
pulse until the slave is done preparing the transmit
data.
The transmit data must be loaded into the SSPxBUF
register which also loads the SSPxSR register. Then
the SCLx pin should be released 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 the SSPxCON2
register. If ACKSTAT is set (not ACK), then the data
transfer is complete. In this case, when the not ACK is
latched by the slave, the slave goes idle and waits for
another occurrence of the Start bit. If the 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 MSSP interrupt is generated for each data transfer
byte. The SSPxIF bit must be cleared by software and
the SSPxSTAT register is used to determine the status
of the byte. The SSPxIF bit is set on the falling edge of
the ninth clock pulse.
21.5.3.1 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
collision is detected, the slave goes idle and waits to be
addressed again. User software can use the BCLxIF bit
to handle a slave bus collision.
21.5.3.2 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 outlines what software for a slave will need to
do to accomplish a standard transmission.
Figure 21-17 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 releasing SCLx, allowing 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 master sends a Restart condition or a Stop.
16. The slave is no longer addressed.
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.

21.5.3.3 7-bit Transmission with Address
Hold Enabled
Setting the AHEN bit of the SSPxCON3 register
enables additional clock stretching and interrupt gen-
eration after the 8th falling edge of a received match-
ing address. Once a matching address has been
clocked in, CKP is cleared and the SSPxIF interrupt is
set.
Figure 21-18 displays a standard waveform of a 7-bit
Address Slave Transmission with AHEN enabled.
1. Bus starts idle.
2. Master sends Start condition; the S bit of
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 gen-
erated.
4. Slave software clears SSPxIF.
5. Slave software reads ACKTIM bit of SSPxCON3
register, and R/W and D/A of the SSPxSTAT
register to determine the source of the interrupt.
6. Slave reads the address value from the
SSPxBUF register clearing the BF bit.
7. Slave software decides from this information if it
wishes to ACK or not ACK and sets the ACKDT
bit of the SSPxCON2 register accordingly.
8. Slave sets the CKP bit releasing SCLx.
9. Master clocks in the ACK value from the slave.
10. Slave hardware automatically clears 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 ACK 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 transmit-
ted to the master from the slave.
17. If the master sends a not ACK the slave
releases the bus allowing the master to send a
Stop and end the communication.
Note: 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.

21.5.4 SLAVE MODE 10-BIT ADDRESS
RECEPTION
This section describes a standard sequence of events
for the MSSP module configured as an I2C slave in
10-bit Addressing mode.
Figure 21-19 and is used as a visual reference for this
description.
This is a step by step process of what must be done by
slave software to accomplish I2C communication.
1. Bus starts idle.
2. Master sends Start condition; S bit of SSPxSTAT
is set; SSPxIF is set if interrupt on Start detect is
enabled.
3. Master sends matching high address with R/W
bit clear; UA bit of the SSPxSTAT 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,
releasing 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
clocks 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 is set the slave sets CKP to release the
SCLx.
18. Steps 13-17 repeat for each received byte.
19. Master sends Stop to end the transmission.
21.5.5 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
difference is the need 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 21-20 can be used as a reference of a
slave in 10-bit addressing with AHEN set.
Figure 21-21 shows a standard waveform for a slave
transmitter in 10-bit Addressing mode.
Note: Updates to the SSPxADD register are not
allowed 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.

21.5.6 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 data or prepare a response 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 con-
trol 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.
21.5.6.1 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 the ACK sequence. Once the slave is ready, CKP
is set by software and communication resumes.
21.5.6.2 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.
21.5.6.3 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.
21.5.7 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 have released SCLx. This ensures that a write
to the CKP bit will not violate the minimum high time
requirement for SCLx (see Figure 21-22).
FIGURE 21-23: CLOCK SYNCHRONIZATION TIMING
Note 1: The BF bit has no effect on if the clock will
be stretched or not. This is different than
previous versions of the module that
would not stretch the clock, clear CKP, if
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 edge 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.

21.5.8 GENERAL CALL ADDRESS SUPPORT
The addressing procedure for the I2C bus is such that
the first byte after the Start condition usually deter-
mines which device will be the slave addressed by the
master device. The exception is the general call
address which can address all devices. When this
address is used, all devices should, in theory, respond
with an acknowledge.
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 interrupt is generated and slave
software can read SSPxBUF and respond.
Figure 21-23 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 hard-
ware 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 21-24: SLAVE MODE GENERAL CALL ADDRESS SEQUENCE
21.5.9 SSPx MASK REGISTER
An SSPx Mask (SSPxMSK) register (Register 21-5) 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 Address mode: address compare of A<7:0>
only. The SSPx mask has no effect during the
reception of the first (high) byte of the address.

21.6 I2C MASTER MODE
Master mode is enabled by setting and clearing the
appropriate SSPM bits in the SSPxCON1 register and
by setting the SSPEN bit. In Master mode, the SDAx
and SCKx pins must be configured as inputs. The
MSSP peripheral hardware will override the output
driver TRIS controls when necessary to drive the pins
low.
Master mode of operation is supported by interrupt
generation on the detection of the Start and Stop con-
ditions. The Stop (P) and Start (S) bits are cleared from
a Reset or when the MSSPx module is disabled. Con-
trol of the I2C bus may be taken when the P bit is set,
or the bus is idle.
In Firmware Controlled Master mode, user code
conducts all I2C bus operations based on Start and
Stop bit condition detection. Start and Stop condition
detection is the only active circuitry in this mode. All
other communication is done by the user software
directly manipulating the SDAx and SCLx lines.
The following events will cause 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 transmitted/received
Repeated Start generated
21.6.1 I2C MASTER MODE OPERATION
The master device generates all of the serial clock
pulses and the Start and Stop conditions. A transfer is
ended with a Stop condition or with a Repeated Start
condition. Since the Repeated Start condition is also
the beginning of the next serial transfer, the I2C bus will
not be released.
In Master Transmitter mode, serial data is output
through SDAx, while SCLx outputs the serial clock. The
first byte transmitted contains the slave address of the
receiving device (7 bits) and the Read/Write (R/W) bit.
In this case, the R/W bit will be logic ‘0’. Serial data is
transmitted 8 bits at a time. After each byte is transmit-
ted, an Acknowledge bit is received. Start and Stop
conditions are output to indicate the beginning and the
end of a serial transfer.
In Master Receive mode, the first byte transmitted con-
tains the slave address of the transmitting device
(7 bits) and the R/W bit. In this case, the R/W bit will be
logic ‘1’. Thus, the first byte transmitted is a 7-bit slave
address followed by a ‘1’ to indicate the receive bit.
Serial data is received via SDAx, while SCLx outputs
the serial clock. Serial data is received 8 bits at a time.
After each byte is received, an Acknowledge bit is
transmitted. Start and Stop conditions indicate the
beginning and end of transmission.
A Baud Rate Generator is used to set the clock fre-
quency output on SCLx. See Section 21.7 “Baud
Rate Generator” for more detail.
Note 1: The MSSPx module, when configured in
I2C Master mode, does not allow queue-
ing of events. For instance, 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 detec-
tion is masked and an interrupt is gener-
ated when the SEN/PEN bit is cleared and
the generation is complete.

21.6.2 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
until the SCLx pin is actually sampled high. When the
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 21-25).
FIGURE 21-25: BAUD RATE GENERATOR TIMING WITH CLOCK ARBITRATION
21.6.3 WCOL STATUS FLAG
If the user writes the SSPxBUF when a Start, Restart,
Stop, Receive or Transmit sequence is in progress, the
WCOL bit is set and the contents of the buffer are
unchanged (the write does not occur). Any time the
WCOL bit is set it indicates that an action on SSPxBUF
was attempted while the module was not idle.

21.6.4 I2C MASTER MODE START
CONDITION TIMING
To initiate a Start condition, the user sets the Start
Enable bit, SEN bit of the SSPxCON2 register. If the
SDAx and SCLx pins are sampled high, the 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 condition and causes the S bit
of the SSPxSTAT1 register to be set. Following this,
the Baud Rate Generator is reloaded with the contents
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 21-26: 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.
2: The Philips I2C Specification states that a
bus collision cannot occur on a Start.

21.6.5 I2C MASTER MODE REPEATED
START CONDITION TIMING
A Repeated Start condition occurs when the RSEN bit
of the SSPxCON2 register is programmed high and the
master state machine is no longer 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 sampled 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 automatically cleared and
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 Generator has timed out.
FIGURE 21-27: REPEAT START CONDITION WAVEFORM
Note 1: If RSEN is programmed while any other
event is in progress, it will not take effect.
2: A bus collision during the Repeated Start
condition occurs if:
SDAx is sampled low when SCLx
goes from low-to-high.
SCLx goes low before SDAx is
asserted low. This may indicate
that another master is attempting to
transmit a data ‘1’.

21.6.6 I2C MASTER MODE TRANSMISSION
Transmission of a data byte, a 7-bit address or the
other half of a 10-bit address is accomplished by simply
writing a value to the SSPxBUF register. This action will
set the Buffer Full flag bit, BF, and allow the Baud Rate
Generator to begin counting and start the next trans-
mission. Each bit of address/data will be shifted out
onto the SDAx pin after the falling edge of SCLx is
asserted. SCLx is held low for one Baud Rate Genera-
tor rollover count (TBRG). Data should be valid before
SCLx is released high. When the SCLx pin is released
high, it is held that way for TBRG. The data on the SDAx
pin must remain stable for that duration and some hold
time after the next falling edge of SCLx. After the eighth
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 during the ninth bit time if an
address match occurred, or if data was received prop-
erly. The status of ACK is written into the ACKSTAT bit
on the rising edge of the ninth clock. If the master
receives an Acknowledge, the Acknowledge Status bit,
ACKSTAT, is cleared. If not, the bit is set. After the ninth
clock, the SSPxIF bit is set and the master clock (Baud
Rate Generator) is suspended until the next data byte
is loaded into the SSPxBUF, leaving SCLx low and
SDAx unchanged (Figure 21-27).
After the write to the SSPxBUF, each bit of the address
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 cleared and the Baud Rate Generator
is turned off until another write to the SSPxBUF takes
place, holding SCLx low and allowing SDAx to float.
21.6.6.1 BF Status Flag
In Transmit mode, the BF bit of the SSPxSTAT register
is set when the CPU writes to SSPxBUF and is cleared
when all 8 bits are shifted out.
21.6.6.2 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 bit 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.
21.6.6.3 ACKSTAT Status Flag
In Transmit mode, the ACKSTAT bit of the SSPxCON2
register is cleared when the slave has sent an Acknowl-
edge (ACK =0) and is set when the slave does not
Acknowledge (ACK =1). A slave sends an Acknowl-
edge when it has recognized its address (including a
general call), or when the slave has properly received
its data.
21.6.6.4 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 completion of the
Start.
3. SSPxIF is cleared by software.
4. The MSSPx module will wait the required start
time before any other operation takes place.
5. The user loads the SSPxBUF with the slave
address to transmit.
6. Address is shifted out the SDAx pin until all 8 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 8 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.

21.6.7 I2C MASTER MODE RECEPTION
Master mode reception is enabled by programming the
Receive Enable bit, RCEN bit of the SSPxCON2
register.
The Baud Rate Generator begins counting and on each
rollover, the state 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 con-
tents 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 MSSP is now in Idle state awaiting the
next command. When the buffer is read by the CPU,
the BF flag bit is automatically cleared. The user can
then send an Acknowledge bit at the end of reception
by setting the Acknowledge Sequence Enable, ACKEN
bit of the SSPxCON2 register.
21.6.7.1 BF Status Flag
In receive operation, the BF bit is set when an address
or data byte is loaded into SSPxBUF from SSPxSR. It
is cleared when the SSPxBUF register is read.
21.6.7.2 SSPOV Status Flag
In receive operation, the SSPOV bit is set when 8 bits
are received into the SSPxSR and the BF flag bit is
already set from a previous reception.
21.6.7.3 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).
21.6.7.4 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 completion of the
Start.
3. SSPxIF is cleared by software.
4. User writes SSPxBUF with the slave address to
transmit and the R/W bit set.
5. Address is shifted out the SDAx pin until all 8 bits
are transmitted. Transmission begins as soon
as SSPxBUF is written to.
6. The MSSP module shifts in the ACK bit from the
slave device and writes its value into the
ACKSTAT bit of the SSPxCON2 register.
7. The MSSP 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 SSPxBUF, clears BF.
11. Master 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.

21.6.8 ACKNOWLEDGE SEQUENCE
TIMING
An Acknowledge sequence is enabled by setting the
Acknowledge Sequence Enable bit, ACKEN bit 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 is auto-
matically cleared, the Baud Rate Generator is turned off
and the MSSP module then goes into Idle mode
(Figure 21-29).

If the user writes the SSPxBUF when an Acknowledge
sequence is in progress, then the WCOL bit is set and
the contents of the buffer are unchanged (the write
does not occur).
21.6.9 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 bit of the SSPxCON2 register. At the end of a
receive/transmit, the SCLx line is held low after the
falling edge of the ninth clock. When the PEN bit is set,
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 deasserted. When the SDAx
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 21-30).
21.6.9.1 WCOL Status Flag
If the user writes the SSPxBUF when a Stop sequence
is in progress, then the WCOL bit is set and the
contents of the buffer are unchanged (the write does
not occur).

FIGURE 21-31: STOP CONDITION RECEIVE OR TRANSMIT MODE
21.6.10 SLEEP OPERATION
While in Sleep mode, the I2C slave module can receive
addresses or data and when an address match or
complete byte transfer occurs, wake the processor
from Sleep (if the MSSP interrupt is enabled).
21.6.11 EFFECTS OF A RESET
A Reset disables the MSSP module and terminates the
current transfer.
21.6.12 MULTI-MASTER MODE
In Multi-Master mode, the interrupt generation on the
detection of the Start and Stop conditions allows the
determination of when the bus is free. The Stop (P) and
Start (S) bits are cleared from a Reset or when the
MSSP module is disabled. Control of the I2C bus may
be taken when the P bit of the SSPxSTAT register is
set, or the bus is idle, with both the S and P bits clear.
When the bus is busy, enabling the SSP interrupt will
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.
The states where arbitration can be lost are:
Address Transfer
Data Transfer
A Start Condition
A Repeated Start Condition
An Acknowledge Condition
21.6.13 MULTI -MASTER COMMUNICATION,
BUS COLLISION AND BUS
ARBITRATION
Multi-Master mode support is achieved by bus arbitra-
tion. 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 data sampled 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 21-31).
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 ser-
vices the bus collision Interrupt Service Routine and if
the I2C bus is free, the user can resume communica-
tion by asserting a Start condition.
If a Start, Repeated Start, Stop or Acknowledge condi-
tion was in progress when the bus collision occurred, the
condition is aborted, the SDAx and SCLx lines are deas-
serted and the respective control bits in the SSPxCON2
register are cleared. When the user services the bus col-
lision Interrupt Service Routine and if the I2C bus is free,
the user can resume communication by asserting a Start
condition.
The master will continue to monitor the SDAx and SCLx
pins. If a Stop 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 deter-
mination of when the bus is free. Control of the I2C bus
can be taken when the P bit is set in the SSPxSTAT
register, or the bus is idle and the S and P bits are
cleared.

21.6.13.1 Bus Collision During a Start
Condition
During a Start condition, a bus collision occurs if:
a) SDA or SCL are sampled low at the beginning of
the Start condition (Figure 21-32).
b) SCL is sampled low before SDAx is asserted
low (Figure 21-33).
During a Start condition, both the SDAx and the SCL
pins are monitored.
If the SDA pin is already low, or the SCL pin is already
low, then all of the following occur:
the Start condition is aborted,
the BCL1IF flag is set and
the MSSP module is reset to its Idle state
(Figure 21-32).
The Start condition begins with the SDAx and SCLx
pins deasserted. When the SDAx pin is sampled high,
the Baud Rate Generator is loaded and counts down. If
the SCLx pin is sampled low while SDAx is high, a bus
collision occurs because it is assumed that another
master is attempting to drive a data ‘1’ during the Start
condition.
If the SDAx pin is sampled low during this count, the
BRG is reset and the SDAx line is asserted early
(Figure 21-34). If, however, a ‘1’ is sampled on the SDA
pin, the SDA pin is asserted low at the end of the BRG
count. The Baud Rate Generator is then reloaded and
counts down to zero; if the SCL pin is sampled as0
during this time, a bus collision does not occur. At the
end of the BRG count, the SCL pin is asserted low.
FIGURE 21-33: 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 will always assert SDAx before the
other. This condition does not cause a bus
collision because the two masters must be
allowed to arbitrate the first address fol-
lowing the Start condition. If the address is
the same, arbitration must be allowed to
continue into the data portion, Repeated
Start or Stop conditions.

21.6.13.2 Bus Collision During a Repeated
Start Condition
During a Repeated Start condition, a bus collision
occurs if:
a) A low level is sampled on SDAx when SCLx
goes from low level to high level.
b) SCLx goes low before SDAx is asserted low,
indicating that another master is attempting to
transmit a data ‘1’.
When the user releases SDAx and the pin is allowed to
float high, the BRG is loaded with SSPxADD and
counts down to zero. The SCLx pin is then deasserted
and when sampled high, the SDAx pin is sampled.
If SDAx is low, a bus collision has occurred (i.e., another
master is attempting to transmit a data ‘0’, Figure 21-35).
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 assert SDAx at exactly the same 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 21-36.
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
condition is complete.

21.6.13.3 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 has timed out.
b) After the SCLx pin is deasserted, SCLx is
sampled low before SDAx goes high.
The Stop condition begins with SDAx asserted low.
When SDAx is sampled low, the SCLx pin is allowed to
float. When the pin is sampled high (clock arbitration),
the Baud Rate Generator is loaded with SSPxADD and
counts down to 0. After the BRG times out, 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 21-37). If the SCLx pin is
sampled low before SDAx is allowed to float high, a bus
collision occurs. This is another case of another master
attempting to drive a data ‘0’ (Figure 21-38).

21.7 BAUD RATE GENERATOR
The MSSP module has a Baud Rate Generator 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 21-6).
When a write occurs to SSPxBUF, the Baud Rate Gen-
erator will automatically begin counting down.
Once the given operation is complete, the internal clock
will automatically stop counting and the clock pin will
remain in its last state.
An internal signal “Reload” in Figure 21-39 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 MSSP is
being operated in.
Table 21-4 demonstrates clock rates based on
instruction cycles and the BRG value loaded into
SSPxADD.

22.0 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 devices typically do not have internal clocks for
baud rate generation and require the external clock
signal provided by a master synchronous device.
The EUSART module includes the following capabilities:
Full-duplex asynchronous transmit and receive
Two-character input buffer
One-character output 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-duplex synchronous master
Half-duplex synchronous slave
Programmable clock polarity in synchronous
modes
Sleep operation
The EUSART module implements the following
additional features, making it ideally suited for use in
Local Interconnect Network (LIN) bus systems:
Automatic detection and calibration of the baud rate
Wake-up on Break reception
13-bit Break character transmit
Block diagrams of the EUSART transmitter and
receiver are shown in Figure 22-1 and Figure 22-2.

22.1 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 level of that bit without returning to a
neutral level between each bit transmission. An NRZ
transmission port idles in the mark state. Each character
transmission consists of one Start bit followed by eight
or nine data bits and is always terminated by one or
more Stop bits. The Start bit is always a space and the
Stop bits are always marks. The most common data
format is 8 bits. Each transmitted bit persists for a period
of 1/(Baud Rate). An on-chip dedicated 8-bit/16-bit Baud
Rate Generator is used to derive standard baud rate
frequencies from the system oscillator. See Tab le 2 2-5
for examples of baud rate configurations.
The EUSART transmits and receives the LSb first. The
EUSART’s transmitter and receiver are functionally
independent, but share the same data format and baud
rate. Parity is not supported by the hardware, but can
be implemented in software and stored as the ninth
data bit.
22.1.1 EUSART ASYNCHRONOUS
TRANSMITTER
The EUSART transmitter block diagram is shown in
Figure 22-1. The heart of the transmitter is the serial
Transmit Shift Register (TSR), which is not directly
accessible by software. The TSR obtains its data from
the transmit buffer, which is the TXREG register.
22.1.1.1 Enabling the Transmitter
The EUSART transmitter is enabled for asynchronous
operations by configuring the following three control
bits:
•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 TXSTA register enables the
transmitter circuitry of the EUSART. Clearing the SYNC
bit of the TXSTA register configures the EUSART for
asynchronous operation. Setting the SPEN bit of the
RCSTA register enables the EUSART and automatically
configures the TX/CK I/O pin as an output. If the TX/CK
pin is shared with an analog peripheral, the analog I/O
function must be disabled by clearing the corresponding
ANSEL bit.
22.1.1.2 Transmitting Data
A transmission is initiated by writing a character to the
TXREG register. If this is the first character, or the
previous character has been completely flushed from
the TSR, the data in the TXREG is immediately
transferred to the TSR register. If the TSR still contains
all or part of a previous character, the new character
data is held in the TXREG until the Stop bit of the
previous character has been transmitted. The pending
character in the TXREG is then transferred to the TSR
in one TCY immediately following the Stop bit
transmission. The transmission of the Start bit, data bits
and Stop bit sequence commences immediately
following the transfer of the data to the TSR from the
TXREG.
22.1.1.3 Transmit Data Polarity
The polarity of the transmit data can be controlled with
the SCKP bit of the BAUDCON register. The default
state of this bit is ‘0’ which selects high true transmit idle
and data bits. Setting the SCKP bit to ‘1’ will invert the
transmit data resulting in low true idle and data bits. The
SCKP bit controls transmit data polarity in
Asynchronous mode only. In Synchronous mode, the
SCKP bit has a different function. See Section 22.4.1.2
“Clock Polarity.
22.1.1.4 Transmit Interrupt Flag
The TXIF interrupt flag bit of the PIR1 register is set
whenever the EUSART transmitter is enabled and no
character is being held for transmission in the TXREG.
In other words, the TXIF bit is only clear when the TSR
is busy with a character and a new character has been
queued for transmission in the TXREG. The TXIF flag bit
is not cleared immediately upon writing TXREG. TXIF
becomes valid in the second instruction cycle following
the write execution. Polling TXIF immediately following
the TXREG write will return invalid results. The TXIF bit
is read-only, it cannot be set or cleared by software.
The TXIF interrupt can be enabled by setting the TXIE
interrupt enable bit of the PIE1 register. However, the
TXIF flag bit will be set whenever the TXREG is empty,
regardless of the state of TXIE enable bit.
To use interrupts when transmitting data, set the TXIE
bit only when there is more data to send. Clear the
TXIE interrupt enable bit upon writing the last character
of the transmission to the TXREG.
Note: The TXIF Transmitter Interrupt flag is set
when the TXEN enable bit is set.
PIC16(L)F1508/9
DS41609A-page 240 Preliminary 2011 Microchip Technology Inc.
22.1.1.5 TSR Status
The TRMT bit of the TXSTA register indicates the
status of the TSR register. This is a read-only bit. The
TRMT bit is set when the TSR register is empty and is
cleared when a character is transferred to the TSR
register from the TXREG. The TRMT bit remains clear
until all bits have been shifted out of the TSR register.
No interrupt logic is tied to this bit, so the user has to
poll this bit to determine the TSR status.
22.1.1.6 Transmitting 9-Bit Characters
The EUSART supports 9-bit character transmissions.
When the TX9 bit of the TXSTA register is set, the
EUSART will shift 9 bits out for each character transmit-
ted. The TX9D bit of the TXSTA register is the ninth,
and Most Significant, data bit. When transmitting 9-bit
data, the TX9D data bit must be written before writing
the 8 Least Significant bits into the TXREG. All nine bits
of data will be transferred to the TSR shift register
immediately after the TXREG is written.
A special 9-bit Address mode is available for use with
multiple receivers. See Section 22.1.2.7 “Address
Detection” for more information on the address mode.
22.1.1.7 Asynchronous Transmission Set-up:
1. Initialize the SPBRGH, SPBRGL register pair and
the BRGH and BRG16 bits to achieve the desired
baud rate (see Section 22.3 “EUSART Baud
Rate Generator (BRG)”).
2. Enable the asynchronous serial port by clearing
the SYNC bit and setting the SPEN bit.
3. If 9-bit transmission is desired, set the TX9 con-
trol bit. A set ninth data bit will indicate that the 8
Least Significant data bits are an address when
the receiver is set for address detection.
4. Set SCKP bit if inverted transmit is desired.
5. Enable the transmission by setting the TXEN
control bit. This will cause the TXIF interrupt bit
to be set.
6. If interrupts are desired, set the TXIE interrupt
enable bit of the PIE1 register. An interrupt will
occur immediately provided that the GIE and
PEIE bits of the INTCON register are also set.
7. If 9-bit transmission is selected, the ninth bit
should be loaded into the TX9D data bit.
8. Load 8-bit data into the TXREG register. This
will start the transmission.

22.1.2 EUSART ASYNCHRONOUS
RECEIVER
The Asynchronous mode is typically used in RS-232
systems. The receiver block diagram is shown in
Figure 22-2. The data is received on the RX/DT pin and
drives the data recovery block. The data recovery block
is actually a high-speed shifter operating at 16 times
the baud rate, whereas the serial Receive Shift
Register (RSR) operates at the bit rate. When all 8 or 9
bits of the character have been shifted in, they are
immediately transferred to a two character
First-In-First-Out (FIFO) memory. The FIFO buffering
allows reception of two complete characters and the
start of a third character before software must start
servicing the EUSART receiver. The FIFO and RSR
registers are not directly accessible by software.
Access to the received data is via the RCREG register.
22.1.2.1 Enabling the Receiver
The EUSART receiver is enabled for asynchronous
operation by configuring the following three control bits:
CREN = 1
SYNC = 0
SPEN = 1
All other EUSART control bits are assumed to be in
their default state.
Setting the CREN bit of the RCSTA register enables the
receiver circuitry of the EUSART. Clearing the SYNC bit
of the TXSTA register configures the EUSART for
asynchronous operation. Setting the SPEN bit of the
RCSTA register enables the EUSART. The programmer
must set the corresponding TRIS bit to configure the
RX/DT I/O pin as an input.
22.1.2.2 Receiving Data
The receiver data recovery circuit initiates character
reception on the falling edge of the first bit. The first bit,
also known as the Start bit, is always a zero. The data
recovery circuit counts one-half bit time to the center of
the Start bit and verifies that the bit is still a zero. If it is
not a zero then the data recovery circuit aborts
character reception, without generating an error, and
resumes looking for the falling edge of the Start bit. If
the Start bit zero verification succeeds then the data
recovery circuit counts a full bit time to the center of the
next bit. The bit is then sampled by a majority detect
circuit and the resulting 0’ or ‘1’ is shifted into the RSR.
This repeats until all data bits have been sampled and
shifted into the RSR. One final bit time is measured and
the level sampled. This is the Stop bit, which is always
a ‘1’. If the data recovery circuit samples a 0’ in the
Stop bit position then a framing error is set for this
character, otherwise the framing error is cleared for this
character. See Section 22.1.2.4 “Receive Framing
Error” for more information on framing errors.
Immediately after all data bits and the Stop bit have
been received, the character in the RSR is transferred
to the EUSART receive FIFO and the RCIF interrupt
flag bit of the PIR1 register is set. The top character in
the FIFO is transferred out of the FIFO by reading the
RCREG register.
22.1.2.3 Receive Interrupts
The RCIF interrupt flag bit of the PIR1 register is set
whenever the EUSART receiver is enabled and there is
an unread character in the receive FIFO. The RCIF
interrupt flag bit is read-only, it cannot be set or cleared
by software.
RCIF interrupts are enabled by setting all of the
following bits:
RCIE interrupt enable bit of the PIE1 register
PEIE peripheral interrupt enable bit of the
INTCON register
GIE Global Interrupt Enable bit of the INTCON
register
The RCIF interrupt flag bit will be set when there is an
unread character in the FIFO, regardless of the state of
interrupt enable bits.
Note: If the RX/DT function is on an analog pin,
the corresponding ANSEL bit must be
cleared for the receiver to function.
Note: If the receive FIFO is overrun, no additional
characters will be received until the overrun
condition is cleared. See Section 22.1.2.5
“Receive Overrun Error” for more
information on overrun errors.
2011 Microchip Technology Inc. Preliminary DS41609A-page 243
PIC16(L)F1508/9
22.1.2.4 Receive Framing Error
Each character in the receive FIFO buffer has a
corresponding framing error Status bit. A framing error
indicates that a Stop bit was not seen at the expected
time. The framing error status is accessed via the
FERR bit of the RCSTA register. The FERR bit
represents the status of the top unread character in the
receive FIFO. Therefore, the FERR bit must be read
before reading the RCREG.
The FERR bit is read-only and only applies to the top
unread character in the receive FIFO. A framing error
(FERR = 1) does not preclude reception of additional
characters. It is not necessary to clear the FERR bit.
Reading the next character from the FIFO buffer will
advance the FIFO to the next character and the next
corresponding framing error.
The FERR bit can be forced clear by clearing the SPEN
bit of the RCSTA register which resets the EUSART.
Clearing the CREN bit of the RCSTA register does not
affect the FERR bit. A framing error by itself does not
generate an interrupt.
22.1.2.5 Receive Overrun Error
The receive FIFO buffer can hold two characters. An
overrun error will be generated if a third character, in its
entirety, is received before the FIFO is accessed. When
this happens the OERR bit of the RCSTA register is set.
The characters already in the FIFO buffer can be read
but no additional characters will be received until the
error is cleared. The error must be cleared by either
clearing the CREN bit of the RCSTA register or by
resetting the EUSART by clearing the SPEN bit of the
RCSTA register.
22.1.2.6 Receiving 9-bit Characters
The EUSART supports 9-bit character reception. When
the RX9 bit of the RCSTA register is set the EUSART
will shift 9 bits into the RSR for each character
received. The RX9D bit of the RCSTA register is the
ninth and Most Significant data bit of the top unread
character in the receive FIFO. When reading 9-bit data
from the receive FIFO buffer, the RX9D data bit must
be read before reading the 8 Least Significant bits from
the RCREG.
22.1.2.7 Address Detection
A special Address Detection mode is available for use
when multiple receivers share the same transmission
line, such as in RS-485 systems. Address detection is
enabled by setting the ADDEN bit of the RCSTA
register.
Address detection requires 9-bit character reception.
When address detection is enabled, only characters
with the ninth data bit set will be transferred to the
receive FIFO buffer, thereby setting the RCIF interrupt
bit. All other characters will be ignored.
Upon receiving an address character, user software
determines if the address matches its own. Upon
address match, user software must disable address
detection by clearing the ADDEN bit before the next
Stop bit occurs. When user software detects the end of
the message, determined by the message protocol
used, software places the receiver back into the
Address Detection mode by setting the ADDEN bit.
Note: If all receive characters in the receive
FIFO have framing errors, repeated reads
of the RCREG will not clear the FERR bit.

22.1.2.8 Asynchronous Reception Set-up:
1. Initialize the SPBRGH, SPBRGL register pair
and the BRGH and BRG16 bits to achieve the
desired baud rate (see Section 22.3 “EUSART
Baud Rate Generator (BRG)”).
2. Clear the ANSEL bit for the RX pin (if applicable).
3. Enable the serial port by setting the SPEN bit.
The SYNC bit must be clear for asynchronous
operation.
4. If interrupts are desired, set the RCIE bit of the
PIE1 register and the GIE and PEIE bits of the
INTCON register.
5. If 9-bit reception is desired, set the RX9 bit.
6. Enable reception by setting the CREN bit.
7. The RCIF interrupt flag bit will be set when a
character is transferred from the RSR to the
receive buffer. An interrupt will be generated if
the RCIE interrupt enable bit was also set.
8. Read the RCSTA register to get the error flags
and, if 9-bit data reception is enabled, the ninth
data bit.
9. Get the received 8 Least Significant data bits
from the receive buffer by reading the RCREG
register.
10. If an overrun occurred, clear the OERR flag by
clearing the CREN receiver enable bit.
22.1.2.9 9-bit Address Detection Mode Set-up
This mode would typically be used in RS-485 systems.
To set up an Asynchronous Reception with Address
Detect Enable:
1. Initialize the SPBRGH, SPBRGL register pair
and the BRGH and BRG16 bits to achieve the
desired baud rate (see Section 22.3 “EUSART
Baud Rate Generator (BRG)”).
2. Clear the ANSEL bit for the RX pin (if applicable).
3. Enable the serial port by setting the SPEN bit.
The SYNC bit must be clear for asynchronous
operation.
4. If interrupts are desired, set the RCIE bit of the
PIE1 register and the GIE and PEIE bits of the
INTCON register.
5. Enable 9-bit reception by setting the RX9 bit.
6. Enable address detection by setting the ADDEN
bit.
7. Enable reception by setting the CREN bit.
8. The RCIF interrupt flag bit will be set when a
character with the ninth bit set is transferred
from the RSR to the receive buffer. An interrupt
will be generated if the RCIE interrupt enable bit
was also set.
9. Read the RCSTA register to get the error flags.
The ninth data bit will always be set.
10. Get the received 8 Least Significant data bits
from the receive buffer by reading the RCREG
register. Software determines if this is the
device’s address.
11. If an overrun occurred, clear the OERR flag by
clearing the CREN receiver enable bit.
12. If the device has been addressed, clear the
ADDEN bit to allow all received data into the
receive buffer and generate interrupts.

22.2 Clock Accuracy with
Asynchronous Operation
The factory calibrates the internal oscillator block out-
put (INTOSC). However, the INTOSC frequency may
drift as VDD or temperature changes, and this directly
affects the asynchronous baud rate. Two methods may
be used to adjust the baud rate clock, but both require
a reference clock source of some kind.
The first (preferred) method uses the OSCTUNE
register to adjust the INTOSC output. Adjusting the
value in the OSCTUNE register allows for fine resolution
changes to the system clock source. See Section 5.2.2
“Internal Clock Sources” for more information.
The other method adjusts the value in the Baud Rate
Generator. This can be done automatically with the
Auto-Baud Detect feature (see Section 22.3.1
“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.

22.3 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 default, the BRG operates in 8-bit mode. Setting the
BRG16 bit of the BAUDCON register selects 16-bit
mode.
The SPBRGH, SPBRGL register pair determines the
period of the free running baud rate timer. In
Asynchronous mode the multiplier of the baud rate
period is determined by both the BRGH bit of the TXSTA
register and the BRG16 bit of the BAUDCON register. In
Synchronous mode, the BRGH bit is ignored.
Table 22-3 contains the formulas for determining the
baud rate. Example 22-1 provides a sample calculation
for determining the baud rate and baud rate error.
Typical baud rates and error values for various
Asynchronous modes have been computed for your
convenience and are shown in Table 22-3. It may be
advantageous to use the high baud rate (BRGH = 1),
or the 16-bit BRG (BRG16 = 1) to reduce the baud rate
error. The 16-bit BRG mode is used to achieve slow
baud rates for fast oscillator frequencies.
Writing a new value to the SPBRGH, SPBRGL register
pair causes the BRG timer to be reset (or cleared). This
ensures that the BRG does not wait for a timer overflow
before outputting the new baud rate.
If the system clock is changed during an active receive
operation, a receive error or data loss may result. To
avoid this problem, check the status of the RCIDL bit to
make sure that the receive operation is idle before
changing the system clock.

22.3.1 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
incoming RX signal, the RX signal is timing the BRG.
The Baud Rate Generator is used to time the period of
a received 55h (ASCII “U”) which is the Sync character
for the LIN bus. The unique feature of this character is
that it has five rising edges including the Stop bit edge.
Setting the ABDEN bit of the BAUDCON register starts
the auto-baud calibration sequence (Figure 22-6).
While the ABD sequence takes place, the EUSART
state machine is held in Idle. On the first rising edge of
the receive line, after the Start bit, the SPBRG begins
counting up using the BRG counter clock as shown in
Table 22-6. The fifth rising edge will occur on the RX pin
at the end of the eighth bit period. At that time, an
accumulated value totaling the proper BRG period is
left in the SPBRGH, SPBRGL register pair, the ABDEN
bit is automatically cleared and the RCIF interrupt flag
is set. The value in the RCREG needs to be read to
clear the RCIF interrupt. RCREG content should be
discarded. When calibrating for modes that do not use
the SPBRGH register the user can verify that the
SPBRGL register did not overflow by checking for 00h
in the SPBRGH register.
The BRG auto-baud clock is determined by the BRG16
and BRGH bits as shown in Table 22-6. During ABD,
both the SPBRGH and SPBRGL registers are used as
a 16-bit counter, independent of the BRG16 bit setting.
While calibrating the baud rate period, the SPBRGH
and SPBRGL registers are clocked at 1/8th the BRG
base clock rate. The resulting byte measurement is the
average bit time when clocked at full speed.
TABLE 22-6: BRG COUNTER CLOCK RATES
FIGURE 22-6: AUTOMATIC BAUD RATE CALIBRATION
Note 1: If the WUE bit is set with the ABDEN bit,
auto-baud detection will occur on the byte
following the Break character (see
Section 22.3.3 “Auto-Wake-up on
Break”).
2: It is up to the user to determine that the
incoming character baud rate is within the
range of the selected BRG clock source.
Some combinations of oscillator frequency
and EUSART baud rates are not possible.
3: During the auto-baud process, the
auto-baud counter starts counting at 1.
Upon completion of the auto-baud
sequence, to achieve maximum accuracy,
subtract 1 from the SPBRGH:SPBRGL
register pair.

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

22.3.4 BREAK CHARACTER SEQUENCE
The EUSART module has the capability of sending the
special Break character sequences that are required by
the LIN bus standard. A Break character consists of a
Start bit, followed by 12 ‘0’ bits and a Stop bit.
To send a Break character, set the SENDB and TXEN
bits of the TXSTA register. The Break character trans-
mission is then initiated by a write to the TXREG. The
value of data written to TXREG will be ignored and all
0’s will be transmitted.
The SENDB bit is automatically reset by hardware after
the corresponding Stop bit is sent. This allows the user
to preload the transmit FIFO with the next transmit byte
following the Break character (typically, the Sync
character in the LIN specification).
The TRMT bit of the TXSTA register indicates when the
transmit operation is active or idle, just as it does during
normal transmission. See Figure 22-9 for the timing of
the Break character sequence.
22.3.4.1 Break and Sync Transmit Sequence
The following sequence will start a message frame
header made up of a Break, followed by an auto-baud
Sync byte. This sequence is typical of a LIN bus
master.
1. Configure the EUSART for the desired mode.
2. Set the TXEN and SENDB bits to enable the
Break sequence.
3. Load the TXREG with a dummy character to
initiate transmission (the value is ignored).
4. Write ‘55h’ to TXREG to load the Sync character
into the transmit FIFO buffer.
5. After the Break has been sent, the SENDB bit is
reset by hardware and the Sync character is
then transmitted.
When the TXREG becomes empty, as indicated by the
TXIF, the next data byte can be written to TXREG.
22.3.5 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 RCSTA register and the Received data
as indicated by RCREG. The Baud Rate Generator is
assumed to have been initialized to the expected baud
rate.
A Break character has been received when;
RCIF bit is set
FERR bit is set
RCREG = 00h
The second method uses the Auto-Wake-up feature
described in Section 22.3.3 “Auto-Wake-up on
Break”. By enabling this feature, the EUSART will
sample the next two transitions on RX/DT, cause an
RCIF interrupt, and receive the next data byte followed
by another interrupt.
Note that following a Break character, the user will
typically want to enable the Auto-Baud Detect feature.
For both methods, the user can set the ABDEN bit of
the BAUDCON register before placing the EUSART in
Sleep mode.

22.4 EUSART Synchronous Mode
Synchronous serial communications are typically used
in systems with a single master and one or more
slaves. The master device contains the necessary cir-
cuitry for baud rate generation and supplies the clock
for all devices in the system. Slave devices can take
advantage of the master clock by eliminating the inter-
nal clock generation circuitry.
There are two signal lines in Synchronous mode: a bidi-
rectional data line and a clock line. Slaves use the
external clock supplied by the master to shift the serial
data into and out of their respective receive and trans-
mit shift registers. Since the data line is bidirectional,
synchronous operation is half-duplex only. Half-duplex
refers to the fact that master and slave devices can
receive and transmit data but not both simultaneously.
The EUSART can operate as either a master or slave
device.
Start and Stop bits are not used in synchronous trans-
missions.
22.4.1 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 TXSTA register configures
the device for synchronous operation. Setting the CSRC
bit of the TXSTA register configures the device as a
master. Clearing the SREN and CREN bits of the RCSTA
register ensures that the device is in the Transmit mode,
otherwise the device will be configured to receive. Setting
the SPEN bit of the RCSTA register enables the
EUSART.
22.4.1.1 Master Clock
Synchronous data transfers use a separate clock line,
which is synchronous with the data. A device config-
ured as a master transmits the clock on the TX/CK line.
The TX/CK pin output driver is automatically enabled
when the EUSART is configured for synchronous
transmit or receive operation. Serial data bits change
on the leading edge to ensure they are valid at the trail-
ing edge of each clock. One clock cycle is generated
for each data bit. Only as many clock cycles are gener-
ated as there are data bits.
22.4.1.2 Clock Polarity
A clock polarity option is provided for Microwire
compatibility. Clock polarity is selected with the SCKP
bit of the BAUDCON register. Setting the SCKP bit sets
the clock Idle state as high. When the SCKP bit is set,
the data changes on the falling edge of each clock.
Clearing the SCKP bit sets the Idle state as low. When
the SCKP bit is cleared, the data changes on the rising
edge of each clock.
22.4.1.3 Synchronous Master Transmission
Data is transferred out of the device on the RX/DT pin.
The RX/DT and TX/CK pin output drivers are automat-
ically enabled when the EUSART is configured for syn-
chronous master transmit operation.
A transmission is initiated by writing a character to the
TXREG register. If the TSR still contains all or part of a
previous character the new character data is held in the
TXREG until the last bit of the previous character has
been transmitted. If this is the first character, or the pre-
vious character has been completely flushed from the
TSR, the data in the TXREG is immediately transferred
to the TSR. The transmission of the character com-
mences immediately following the transfer of the data
to the TSR from the TXREG.
Each data bit changes on the leading edge of the mas-
ter clock and remains valid until the subsequent leading
clock edge.
22.4.1.4 Synchronous Master Transmission
Set-up:
1. Initialize the SPBRGH, SPBRGL register pair
and the BRGH and BRG16 bits to achieve the
desired baud rate (see Section 22.3 “EUSART
Baud Rate Generator (BRG)”).
2. Enable the synchronous master serial port by
setting bits SYNC, SPEN and CSRC.
3. Disable Receive mode by clearing bits SREN
and CREN.
4. Enable Transmit mode by setting the TXEN bit.
5. If 9-bit transmission is desired, set the TX9 bit.
6. If interrupts are desired, set the TXIE bit of the
PIE1 register and the GIE and PEIE bits of the
INTCON register.
7. If 9-bit transmission is selected, the ninth bit
should be loaded in the TX9D bit.
8. Start transmission by loading data to the TXREG
register.
Note: The TSR register is not mapped in data
memory, so it is not available to the user.

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

22.4.2 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 bit of the TXSTA register configures the
device for synchronous operation. Clearing the CSRC bit
of the TXSTA register configures the device as a slave.
Clearing the SREN and CREN bits of the RCSTA register
ensures that the device is in the Transmit mode,
otherwise the device will be configured to receive. Setting
the SPEN bit of the RCSTA register enables the
EUSART.
22.4.2.1 EUSART Synchronous Slave
Transmit
The operation of the Synchronous Master and Slave
modes are identical (see Section 22.4.1.3
“Synchronous Master Transmission), except in the
case of the Sleep mode.
If two words are written to the TXREG and then the
SLEEP instruction is executed, the following will occur:
1. The first character will immediately transfer to
the TSR register and transmit.
2. The second word will remain in the TXREG
register.
3. The TXIF bit will not be set.
4. After the first character has been shifted out of
TSR, the TXREG register will transfer the second
character to the TSR and the TXIF bit will now be
set.
5. If the PEIE and TXIE bits are set, the interrupt
will wake the device from Sleep and execute the
next instruction. If the GIE bit is also set, the
program will call the Interrupt Service Routine.
22.4.2.2 Synchronous Slave Transmission
Set-up:
1. Set the SYNC and SPEN bits and clear the
CSRC bit.
2. Clear the ANSEL bit for the CK pin (if applicable).
3. Clear the CREN and SREN bits.
4. If interrupts are desired, set the TXIE bit of the

22.4.2.3 EUSART Synchronous Slave
Reception
The operation of the Synchronous Master and Slave
modes is identical (Section 22.4.1.5 “Synchronous
Master Reception”), with the following exceptions:
Sleep
CREN bit is always set, therefore the receiver is
never idle
SREN bit, which is a “don’t care” in Slave mode
A character may be received while in Sleep mode by
setting the CREN bit prior to entering Sleep. Once the
word is received, the RSR register will transfer the data
to the RCREG register. If the RCIE enable bit is set, the
interrupt generated will wake the device from Sleep
and execute the next instruction. If the GIE bit is also
set, the program will branch to the interrupt vector.
22.4.2.4 Synchronous Slave Reception
Set-up:
1. Set the SYNC and SPEN bits and clear the
CSRC bit.
2. Clear the ANSEL bit for both the CK and DT pins
(if applicable).
3. If interrupts are desired, set the RCIE bit of the
PIE1 register and the GIE and PEIE bits of the
INTCON register.
4. If 9-bit reception is desired, set the RX9 bit.
5. Set the CREN bit to enable reception.
6. The RCIF bit will be set when reception is
complete. An interrupt will be generated if the
RCIE bit was set.
7. If 9-bit mode is enabled, retrieve the Most
Significant bit from the RX9D bit of the RCSTA
register.
8. Retrieve the 8 Least Significant bits from the
receive FIFO by reading the RCREG register.
9. If an overrun error occurs, clear the error by
either clearing the CREN bit of the RCSTA
register or by clearing the SPEN bit which resets
the EUSART.

22.5 EUSART Operation During Sleep
The EUSART will remain active during Sleep only in the
Synchronous Slave mode. All other modes require the
system clock and therefore cannot generate the neces-
sary signals to run the Transmit or Receive Shift regis-
ters during Sleep.
Synchronous Slave mode uses an externally generated
clock to run the Transmit and Receive Shift registers.
22.5.1 SYNCHRONOUS RECEIVE DURING
SLEEP
To receive during Sleep, all the following conditions
must be met before entering Sleep mode:
RCSTA and TXSTA Control registers must be
configured for Synchronous Slave Reception (see
Section 22.4.2.4 “Synchronous Slave
Reception Set-up:”).
If interrupts are desired, set the RCIE bit of the
PIE1 register and the GIE and PEIE bits of the
INTCON register.
The RCIF interrupt flag must be cleared by read-
ing RCREG to unload any pending characters in
the receive buffer.
Upon entering Sleep mode, the device will be ready to
accept data and clocks on the RX/DT and TX/CK pins,
respectively. When the data word has been completely
clocked in by the external device, the RCIF interrupt
flag bit of the PIR1 register will be set. Thereby, waking
the processor from Sleep.
Upon waking from Sleep, the instruction following the
SLEEP instruction will be executed. If the Global Inter-
rupt Enable (GIE) bit of the INTCON register is also set,
then the Interrupt Service Routine at address 004h will
be called.
22.5.2 SYNCHRONOUS TRANSMIT
DURING SLEEP
To transmit during Sleep, all the following conditions
must be met before entering Sleep mode:
RCSTA and TXSTA Control registers must be
configured for synchronous slave transmission
(see Section 22.4.2.2 “Synchronous Slave
Transmission Set-up:”).
The TXIF interrupt flag must be cleared by writing
the output data to the TXREG, thereby filling the
TSR and transmit buffer.
If interrupts are desired, set the TXIE bit of the
PIE1 register and the PEIE bit of the INTCON reg-
ister.
Interrupt enable bits TXIE of the PIE1 register and
PEIE of the INTCON register must set.
Upon entering Sleep mode, the device will be ready to
accept clocks on TX/CK pin and transmit data on the
RX/DT pin. When the data word in the TSR has been
completely clocked out by the external device, the
pending byte in the TXREG will transfer to the TSR and
the TXIF flag will be set. Thereby, waking the processor
from Sleep. At this point, the TXREG is available to
accept another character for transmission, which will
clear the TXIF flag.
Upon waking from Sleep, the instruction following the
SLEEP instruction will be executed. If the Global
Interrupt Enable (GIE) bit is also set then the Interrupt
Service Routine at address 0004h will be called.
22.5.3 ALTERNATE PIN LOCATIONS
This module incorporates I/O pins that can be moved to
other locations with the use of the alternate pin function
register, APFCON. To determine which pins can be
moved and what their default locations are upon a
Reset, see Section 11.1 “Alternate Pin Function” for
more information.

23.0 PULSE WIDTH MODULATION
(PWM) MODULE
The PWM module generates a Pulse-Width Modulated
signal determined by the duty cycle, period, and reso-
lution that are configured by the following registers:
•PR2
•T2CON
PWMxDCH
PWMxDCL
•PWMxCON
Figure 23-2 shows a simplified block diagram of PWM
operation.
Figure 23-1 shows a typical waveform of the PWM
signal.
For a step-by-step procedure on how to set up this
module for PWM operation, refer to Section 23.1.9
“Setup for PWM Operation using PWMx Pins.

23.1 PWMx Pin Configuration
All PWM outputs are multiplexed with the PORT data
latch. The user must configure the pins as outputs by
clearing the associated TRIS bits.
23.1.1 FUNDAMENTAL OPERATION
The PWM module produces a 10-bit resolution output.
Timer2 and PR2 set the period of the PWM. The
PWMxDCL and PWMxDCH registers configure the
duty cycle. The period is common to all PWM modules,
whereas the duty cycle is independently controlled.
All PWM outputs associated with Timer2 are set when
TMR2 is cleared. Each PWMx is cleared when TMR2
is equal to the value specified in the corresponding
PWMxDCH (8 MSb) and PWMxDCL<7:6> (2 LSb) reg-
isters. When the value is greater than or equal to PR2,
the PWM output is never cleared (100% duty cycle).
23.1.2 PWM OUTPUT POLARITY
The output polarity is inverted by setting the PWMxPOL
bit of the PWMxCON register.
23.1.3 PWM PERIOD
The PWM period is specified by the PR2 register of
Timer2. The PWM period can be calculated using the
formula of Equation 23-1.
EQUATION 23-1: PWM PERIOD
When TMR2 is equal to PR2, the following three events
occur on the next increment cycle:
•TMR2 is cleared
The PWM output is active. (Exception: When the
PWM duty cycle = 0%, the PWM output will
remain inactive.)
The PWMxDCH and PWMxDCL register values
are latched into the buffers.
23.1.4 PWM DUTY CYCLE
The PWM duty cycle is specified by writing a 10-bit
value to the PWMxDCH and PWMxDCL register pair.
The PWMxDCH register contains the eight MSbs and
the PWMxDCL<7:6>, the two LSbs. The PWMxDCH
and PWMxDCL registers can be written to at any time.
Equation 23-2 is used to calculate the PWM pulse
width.
Equation 23-3 is used to calculate the PWM duty cycle
ratio.
EQUATION 23-2: PULSE WIDTH
EQUATION 23-3: DUTY CYCLE RATIO
The 8-bit timer TMR2 register is concatenated with the
two Least Significant bits of 1/FOSC, adjusted by the
Timer2 prescaler to create the 10-bit time base. The
system clock is used if the Timer2 prescaler is set to
1:1.
Note: Clearing the PWMxOE bit will relinquish
control of the PWMx pin.
Note: The Timer2 postscaler is not used in the
determination of the PWM frequency. The
postscaler could be used to have a servo
update rate at a different frequency than
the PWM output.
Note: The PWMxDCH and PWMxDCL registers
are double buffered. The buffers are
updated when Timer2 matches PR2. Care
should be taken to update both registers
before the timer match occurs.

23.1.5 PWM RESOLUTION
The resolution determines the number of available duty
cycles for a given period. For example, a 10-bit resolu-
tion will result in 1024 discrete duty cycles, whereas an
8-bit resolution will result in 256 discrete duty cycles.
The maximum PWM resolution is 10 bits when PR2 is
255. The resolution is a function of the PR2 register
value as shown by Equation 23-4.
EQUATION 23-4: PWM RESOLUTION
23.1.6 OPERATION IN SLEEP MODE
In Sleep mode, the TMR2 register will not increment
and the state of the module will not change. If the
PWMx pin is driving a value, it will continue to drive that
value. When the device wakes up, TMR2 will continue
from its previous state.
23.1.7 CHANGES IN SYSTEM CLOCK
FREQUENCY
The PWM frequency is derived from the system clock
frequency (FOSC). Any changes in the system clock fre-
quency will result in changes to the PWM frequency.
Refer to Section 5.0 “Oscillator Module (With
Fail-Safe Clock Monitor)” for additional details.
23.1.8 EFFECTS OF RESET
Any Reset will force all ports to Input mode and the
PWM registers to their Reset states.
Note: If the pulse width value is greater than the
period the assigned PWM pin(s) will
remain unchanged.

23.1.9 SETUP FOR PWM OPERATION
USING PWMx PINS
The following steps should be taken when configuring
the module for PWM operation using the PWMx pins:
1. Disable the PWMx pin output driver(s) by setting
the associated TRIS bit(s).
2. Clear the PWMxCON register.
3. Load the PR2 register with the PWM period
value.
4. Clear the PWMxDCH register and bits <7:6> of
the PWMxDCL register.
5. Configure and start Timer2:
Clear the TMR2IF interrupt flag bit of the
PIR1 register. See Note below.
Configure the T2CKPS bits of the T2CON
register with the Timer2 prescale value.
Enable Timer2 by setting the TMR2ON bit of
the T2CON register.
6. Enable PWM output pin and wait until Timer2
overflows, TMR2IF bit of the PIR1 register is set.
See note below.
7. Enable the PWMx pin output driver(s) by clear-
ing the associated TRIS bit(s) and setting the
PWMxOE bit of the PWMxCON register.
8. Configure the PWM module by loading the
PWMxCON register with the appropriate values.
Note 1: In order to send a complete duty cycle
and period on the first PWM output, the
above steps must be followed in the order
given. If it is not critical to start with a
complete PWM signal, then move Step 8
to replace Step 4.
2: For operation with other peripherals only,
disable PWMx pin outputs.

24.0 CONFIGURABLE LOGIC CELL
(CLC)
The Configurable Logic Cell (CLCx) provides program-
mable logic that operates outside the speed limitations
of software execution. The logic cell takes up to 16
input signals and through the use of configurable gates
reduces the 16 inputs to four logic lines that drive one
of eight selectable single-output logic functions.
Input sources are a combination of the following:
I/O pins
Internal clocks
Peripherals
Register bits
The output can be directed internally to peripherals and
to an output pin.
Refer to Figure 24-1 for a simplified diagram showing
signal flow through the CLCx.
Possible configurations include:

24.1 CLCx Setup
Programming the CLCx module is performed by config-
uring the 4 stages in the logic signal flow. The 4 stages
are:
•Data selection
Data gating
Logic function selection
Output polarity
Each stage is setup at run time by writing to the corre-
sponding CLCx Special Function Registers. This has
the added advantage of permitting logic reconfiguration
on-the-fly during program execution.
24.1.1 DATA SELECTION
There are 16 signals available as inputs to the configu-
rable logic. Four 8-input multiplexers are used to select
the inputs to pass on to the next stage. The 16 inputs to
the multiplexers are arranged in groups of four. Each
group is available to two of the four multiplexers, in
each case, paired with a different group. This arrange-
ment makes possible selection of up to two from a
group without precluding a selection from another
group.
Data inputs are selected with the CLCxSEL0 and
CLCxSEL1 registers (Register 24-3 and Register 24-4,
respectively).
Data inputs are selected with CLCxSEL0 and
CLCxSEL1 registers (Register 24-3 and Register 24-4,
respectively).
Data selection is through four multiplexers as indicated
on the left side of Figure 24-2. Data inputs in the figure
are identified by a generic numbered input name.
Table 24-1 correlates the generic input name to the
actual signal for each CLC module. The columns labeled
lcxd1 through lcxd4 indicate the MUX output for the
selected data input. D1S through D4S are abbreviations
for the MUX select input codes: LCxD1S<2:0> through
LCxD4S<2:0>, respectively. Selecting a data input in a
column excludes all other inputs in that column.
Note: Data selections are undefined at power-up.

24.1.2 DATA GATING
Outputs from the input multiplexers are directed to the
desired logic function input through the data gating
stage. Each data gate can direct any combination of the
four selected inputs.
The gate stage is more than just signal direction. The
gate can be configured to direct each input signal as
inverted or non-inverted data. Directed signals are
ANDed together in each gate. The output of each gate
can be inverted before going on to the logic function
stage.
The gating is in essence a 1-to-4 input
AND/NAND/OR/NOR gate. When every input is
inverted and the output is inverted, the gate is an OR of
all enabled data inputs. When the inputs and output are
not inverted, the gate is an AND or all enabled inputs.
Table 24-2 summarizes the basic logic that can be
obtained in gate 1 by using the gate logic select bits.
The table shows the logic of four input variables, but
each gate can be configured to use less than four. If
no inputs are selected, the output will be zero or one,
depending on the gate output polarity bit.
It is possible (but not recommended) to select both the
true and negated values of an input. When this is done,
the gate output is zero, regardless of the other inputs,
but may emit logic glitches (transient-induced pulses).
If the output of the channel must be zero or one, the
recommended method is to set all gate bits to zero and
use the gate polarity bit to set the desired level.
Data gating is configured with the logic gate select reg-
isters as follows:
Gate 1: CLCxGLS0 (Register 24-5)
Gate 2: CLCxGLS1 (Register 24-6)
Gate 3: CLCxGLS2 (Register 24-7)
Gate 4: CLCxGLS3 (Register 24-8)
Register number suffixes are different than the gate
numbers because other variations of this module have
multiple gate selections in the same register.
Data gating is indicated in the right side of Figure 24-2.
Only one gate is shown in detail. The remaining three
gates are configured identically with the exception that
the data enables correspond to the enables for that
gate.
24.1.3 LOGIC FUNCTION
There are 8 available logic functions including:
AND-OR
•OR-XOR
•AND
S-R Latch
D Flip-Flop with Set and Reset
D Flip-Flop with Reset
J-K Flip-Flop with Reset
Transparent Latch with Set and Reset
Logic functions are shown in Figure 24-3. Each logic
function has four inputs and one output. The four inputs
are the four data gate outputs of the previous stage.
The output is fed to the inversion stage and from there
to other peripherals, an output pin, and back to the
CLCx itself.
24.1.4 OUTPUT POLARITY
The last stage in the configurable logic cell is the output
polarity. Setting the LCxPOL bit of the CLCxCON reg-
ister inverts the output signal from the logic stage.
Changing the polarity while the interrupts are enabled
will cause an interrupt for the resulting output transition.
Note: Data gating is undefined at power-up.

24.1.5 CLCx SETUP STEPS
The following steps should be followed when setting up
the CLCx:
Disable CLCx by clearing the LCxEN bit.
Select desired inputs using CLCxSEL0 and
CLCxSEL1 registers (See Table 24-1).
Clear any associated ANSEL bits.
Set all TRIS bits associated with inputs.
Clear all TRIS bits associated with outputs.
Enable the chosen inputs through the four gates
using CLCxGLS0, CLCxGLS1, CLCxGLS2, and
CLCxGLS3 registers.
Select the gate output polarities with the
LCxPOLy bits of the CLCxPOL register.
Select the desired logic function with the
LCxMODE<2:0> bits of the CLCxCON register.
Select the desired polarity of the logic output with
the LCxPOL bit of the CLCxPOL register. (This
step may be combined with the previous gate out-
put polarity step).
If driving the CLCx pin, set the LCxOE bit of the
CLCxCON register and also clear the TRIS bit
corresponding to that output.
If interrupts are desired, configure the following
bits:
- Set the LCxINTP bit in the CLCxCON register
for rising event.
- Set the LCxINTN bit in the CLCxCON
register or falling event.
- Set the CLCxIE bit of the associated PIE
registers.
- Set the GIE and PEIE bits of the INTCON
register.
Enable the CLCx by setting the LCxEN bit of the
CLCxCON register.
24.2 CLCx Interrupts
An interrupt will be generated upon a change in the
output value of the CLCx when the appropriate interrupt
enables are set. A rising edge detector and a falling
edge detector are present in each CLC for this purpose.
The CLCxIF bit of the associated PIR registers will be
set when either edge detector is triggered and its asso-
ciated enable bit is set. The LCxINTP enables rising
edge interrupts and the LCxINTN bit enables falling
edge interrupts. Both are located in the CLCxCON reg-
ister.
To fully enable the interrupt, set the following bits:
LCxON bit of the CLCxCON register
CLCxIE bit of the associated PIE registers
LCxINTP bit of the CLCxCON register (for a rising
edge detection)
LCxINTN bit of the CLCxCON register (for a fall-
ing edge detection)
PEIE and GIE bits of the INTCON register
The CLCxIF bit of the associated PIR registers, must
be cleared in software as part of the interrupt service. If
another edge is detected while this flag is being
cleared, the flag will still be set at the end of the
sequence.
24.3 Output Mirror Copies
Mirror copies of all LCxCON output bits are contained
in the CLCxDATA register. Reading this register reads
the outputs of all CLCs simultaneously. This prevents
any reading skew introduced by testing or reading the
CLCxOUT bits in the individual CLCxCON registers.
24.4 Effects of a Reset
The CLCxCON register is cleared to zero as the result
of a Reset. All other selection and gating values remain
unchanged.
24.5 Operation During Sleep
The CLC module operates independently from the
system clock and will continue to run during Sleep,
provided that the input sources selected remain active.
The HFINTOSC remains active during Sleep when the
CLC module is enabled and the HFINTOSC is
selected as an input source, regardless of the system
clock source selected.
In other words, if the HFINTOSC is simultaneously
selected as the system clock and as a CLC input
source, when the CLC is enabled, the CPU will go idle
during Sleep, but the CLC will continue to operate and
the HFINTOSC will remain active.
This will have a direct effect on the Sleep mode current.

25.0 NUMERICALLY CONTROLLED
OSCILLATOR (NCO) MODULE
The Numerically Controlled Oscillator (NCOx) module
is a timer that uses the overflow from the addition of an
increment value to divide the input frequency. The
advantage of the addition method over simple counter
driven timer is that the resolution of division does not
vary with the divider value. The NCOx is most useful for
applications that require frequency accuracy and fine
resolution at a fixed duty cycle.
Features of the NCOx include:
16-bit increment function
Fixed Duty Cycle (FDC) mode
Pulse Frequency (PF) mode
Output pulse width control
Multiple clock input sources
Output polarity control
Interrupt capability
Figure 25-1 is a simplified block diagram of the NCOx
module.

25.1 NCOx OPERATION
The NCOx operates by repeatedly adding a fixed value
to an accumulator. Additions occur at the input clock
rate. The accumulator will overflow with a carry
periodically, which is the raw NCOx output. This
effectively reduces the input clock by the ratio of the
addition value to the maximum accumulator value. See
Equation 25-1.
The NCOx output can be further modified by stretching
the pulse or toggling a flip-flop. The modified NCOx
output is then distributed internally to other peripherals
and optionally output to a pin. The accumulator overflow
also generates an interrupt.
The NCOx period changes in discrete steps to create an
average frequency. This output depends on the ability of
the receiving circuit (i.e., CWG or external resonant
converter circuitry) to average the NCOx output to
reduce uncertainty.
25.1.1 NCOx CLOCK SOURCES
Clock sources available to the NCOx include:
•HFINTOSC
•F
OSC
•LC1OUT
CLKIN pin
The NCOx clock source is selected by configuring the
NxCKS<2:0> bits in the NCOxCLK register.
25.1.2 ACCUMULATOR
The accumulator is a 20-bit register. Read and write
access to the accumulator is available through three
registers:
NCOxACCL
NCOxACCH
NCOxACCU
25.1.3 ADDER
The NCOx Adder is a full adder, which operates
independently from the system clock. The addition of
the previous result and the increment value replaces
the accumulator value on the rising edge of each input
clock.
25.1.4 INCREMENT REGISTERS
The Increment value is stored in two 8-bit registers
making up a 16-bit increment. In order of LSB to MSB
they are:
NCOxINCL
NCOxINCH
Both of the registers are readable and writeable. The
Increment registers are double-buffered to allow for
value changes to be made without first disabling the
NCOx module.
The buffer loads are immediate when the module is dis-
abled. Writing to the NCOxINCH register first is neces-
sary because then the buffer is loaded synchronously
with the NCOx operation after the write is executed on
the NCOxINCL register.
EQUATION 25-1:
Note: The increment buffer registers are not
user-accessible.

DS41609A-page 290 Preliminary 2011 Microchip Technology Inc.
25.2 FIXED DUTY CYCLE (FDC) MODE
In Fixed Duty Cycle (FDC) mode, every time the
accumulator overflows, the output is toggled. This
provides a 50% duty cycle, provided that the increment
value remains constant. For more information, see
Figure 25-2.
The FDC mode is selected by clearing the NxPFM bit
in the NCOxCON register.
25.3 PULSE FREQUENCY (PF) MODE
In Pulse Frequency (PF) mode, every time the accumu-
lator overflows, the output becomes active for one or
more clock periods. Once the clock period expires, the
output returns to an inactive state. This provides a
pulsed output.
The output becomes active on the rising clock edge
immediately following the overflow event. For more
information, see Figure 25-2.
The value of the active and inactive states depends on
the polarity bit, NxPOL in the NCOxCON register.
The PF mode is selected by setting the NxPFM bit in
the NCOxCON register.
25.3.1 OUTPUT PULSE WIDTH CONTROL
When operating in PF mode, the active state of the out-
put can vary in width by multiple clock periods. Various
pulse widths are selected with the NxPWS<2:0> bits in
the NCOxCLK register.
When the selected pulse width is greater than the
accumulator overflow time frame, the output of the
NCOx operation is indeterminate.
25.4 OUTPUT POLARITY CONTROL
The last stage in the NCOx module is the output polar-
ity. The NxPOL bit in the NCOxCON register selects the
output polarity. Changing the polarity while the inter-
rupts are enabled will cause an interrupt for the result-
ing output transition.
The NCOx output can be used internally by source
code or other peripherals. Accomplish this by reading
the NxOUT (read-only) bit of the NCOxCON register.

25.5 Interrupts
When the accumulator overflows, the NCOx Interrupt
Flag bit, NCOxIF, of the PIRx register is set. To enable
the interrupt event, the following bits must be set:
NxEN bit of the NCOxCON register
NCOxIE bit of the PIEx register
PEIE bit of the INTCON register
GIE bit of the INTCON register
The interrupt must be cleared by software by clearing
the NCOxIF bit in the Interrupt Service Routine.
25.6 Effects of a Reset
All of the NCOx registers are cleared to zero as the
result of a Reset.
25.7 Operation In Sleep
The NCO module operates independently from the
system clock and will continue to run during Sleep,
provided that the clock source selected remains
active.
The HFINTOSC remains active during Sleep when the
NCO module is enabled and the HFINTOSC is
selected as the clock source, regardless of the system
clock source selected.
In other words, if the HFINTOSC is simultaneously
selected as the system clock and the NCO clock
source, when the NCO is enabled, the CPU will go idle
during Sleep, but the NCO will continue to operate and
the HFINTOSC will remain active.
This will have a direct effect on the Sleep mode current.
25.8 Alternate Pin Locations
This module incorporates I/O pins that can be moved to
other locations with the use of the alternate pin function
register, APFCON. To determine which pins can be
moved and what their default locations are upon a
Reset, see Section 11.1 “Alternate Pin Function” for
more information.

26.1 Fundamental Operation
The CWG generates a two output complementary
waveform from one of four selectable input sources.
The off-to-on transition of each output can be delayed
from the on-to-off transition of the other output, thereby,
creating a time delay immediately where neither output
is driven. This is referred to as dead time and is covered
in Section 26.5 “Dead-Band Control. A typical
operating waveform, with dead band, generated from a
single input signal is shown in Figure 26-2.
It may be necessary to guard against the possibility of
circuit faults or a feedback event arriving too late or not
at all. In this case, the active drive must be terminated
before the Fault condition causes damage. This is
referred to as auto-shutdown and is covered in
Section 26.9 “Auto-shutdown Control”.
26.2 Clock Source
The CWG module allows the following clock sources
to be selected:
Fosc (system clock)
HFINTOSC (16 MHz only)
The clock sources are selected using the G1CS0 bit of
the CWGxCON0 register (Register 26-1).
26.3 Selectable Input Sources
The CWG can generate the complementary waveform
for the following input sources:
async_C1OUT
async_C2OUT
•PWM1OUT
•PWM2OUT
•PWM3OUT
•PWM4OUT
NCO1OUT
•LC1OUT
The input sources are selected using the GxIS<2:0>
bits in the CWGxCON1 register (Register 26-2).
26.4 Output Control
Immediately after the CWG module is enabled, the
complementary drive is configured with both CWGxA
and CWGxB drives cleared.
26.4.1 OUTPUT ENABLES
Each CWG output pin has individual output enable
control. Output enables are selected with the GxOEA
and GxOEB bits of the CWGxCON0 register. When an
output enable control is cleared, the module asserts no
control over the pin. When an output enable is set, the
override value or active PWM waveform is applied to
the pin per the port priority selection. The output pin
enables are dependent on the module enable bit,
GxEN. When GxEN is cleared, CWG output enables
and CWG drive levels have no effect.
26.4.2 POLARITY CONTROL
The polarity of each CWG output can be selected
independently. When the output polarity bit is set, the
corresponding output is active high. Clearing the output
polarity bit configures the corresponding output as
active low. However, polarity does not affect the
override levels. Output polarity is selected with the
GxPOLA and GxPOLB bits of the CWGxCON0 register.
26.5 Dead-Band Control
Dead-band control provides for non-overlapping output
signals to prevent shoot-through current in power
switches. The CWG contains two 6-bit dead-band
counters. One dead-band counter is used for the rising
edge of the input source control. The other is used for
the falling edge of the input source control.
Dead band is timed by counting CWG clock periods
from zero up to the value in the rising or falling dead-
band counter registers. See CWGxDBR and
CWGxDBF registers (Register 26-4 and Register 26-5,
respectively).
26.6 Rising Edge Dead Band
The rising edge dead-band delays the turn-on of the
CWGxA output from when the CWGxB output is turned
off. The rising edge dead-band time starts when the
rising edge of the input source signal goes true. When
this happens, the CWGxB output is immediately turned
off and the rising edge dead-band delay time starts.
When the rising edge dead-band delay time is reached,
the CWGxA output is turned on.
The CWGxDBR register sets the duration of the dead-
band interval on the rising edge of the input source
signal. This duration is from 0 to 64 counts of dead band.
Dead band is always counted off the edge on the input
source signal. A count of 0 (zero), indicates that no
dead band is present.
If the input source signal is not present for enough time
for the count to be completed, no output will be seen on
the respective output.

PIC16(L)F1508/9
26.7 Falling Edge Dead Band
The falling edge dead band delays the turn-on of the
CWGxB output from when the CWGxA output is turned
off. The falling edge dead-band time starts when the
falling edge of the input source goes true. When this
happens, the CWGxA output is immediately turned off
and the falling edge dead-band delay time starts. When
the falling edge dead-band delay time is reached, the
CWGxB output is turned on.
The CWGxDBF register sets the duration of the dead-
band interval on the falling edge of the input source sig-
nal. This duration is from 0 to 64 counts of dead band.
Dead band is always counted off the edge on the input
source signal. A count of 0 (zero), indicates that no
dead band is present.
If the input source signal is not present for enough time
for the count to be completed, no output will be seen on
the respective output.
Refer to Figure 26-3 and Figure 26-4 for examples.
26.8 Dead-Band Uncertainty
When the rising and falling edges of the input source
triggers the dead-band counters, the input may be asyn-
chronous. This will create some uncertainty in the dead-
band time delay. The maximum uncertainty is equal to
one CWG clock period. Refer to Equation 26-1 for more
detail.

26.9 Auto-shutdown Control
Auto-shutdown is a method to immediately override the
CWG output levels with specific overrides that allow for
safe shutdown of the circuit. The shutdown state can be
either cleared automatically or held until cleared by
software.
26.9.1 SHUTDOWN
The shutdown state can be entered by either of the fol-
lowing two methods:
Software generated
External Input
26.9.1.1 Software Generated Shutdown
Setting the GxASE bit of the CWGxCON2 register will
force the CWG into the shutdown state.
When auto-restart is disabled, the shutdown state will
persist as long as the GxASE bit is set.
When auto-restart is enabled, the GxASE bit will clear
automatically and resume operation on the next rising
edge event. See Figure 26-6.
26.9.1.2 External Input Source
External shutdown inputs provide the fastest way to
safely suspend CWG operation in the event of a Fault
condition. When any of the selected shutdown inputs
goes active, the CWG outputs will immediately go to
the selected override levels without software delay. Any
combination of two input sources can be selected to
cause a shutdown condition. The sources are:
async_C1OUT
async_C2OUT
•LC2OUT
•CWG1FLT
Shutdown inputs are selected using the GxASDS0 and
GxASDS1 bits of the CWGxCON2 register.
(Register 26-3).
26.10 Operation During Sleep
The CWG module operates independently from the
system clock and will continue to run during Sleep,
provided that the clock and input sources selected
remain active.
The HFINTOSC remains active during Sleep, provided
that the CWG module is enabled, the input source is
active, and the HFINTOSC is selected as the clock
source, regardless of the system clock source
selected.
In other words, if the HFINTOSC is simultaneously
selected as the system clock and the CWG clock
source, when the CWG is enabled and the input
source is active, the CPU will go idle during Sleep, but
the CWG will continue to operate and the HFINTOSC
will remain active.
This will have a direct effect on the Sleep mode current.
Note: Shutdown inputs are level sensitive, not
edge sensitive. The shutdown state can-
not be cleared, except by disabling auto-
shutdown, as long as the shutdown input
level persists.

PIC16(L)F1508/9
26.11 Configuring the CWG
The following steps illustrate how to properly configure
the CWG to ensure a synchronous start:
1. Ensure that the TRIS control bits corresponding
to CWGxA and CWGxB are set so that both are
configured as inputs.
2. Clear the GxEN bit, if not already cleared.
3. Set desired dead-band times with the CWGxDBR
and CWGxDBF registers.
4. Setup the following controls in CWGxCON2
auto-shutdown register:
Select desired shutdown source.
Select both output overrides to the desired
levels (this is necessary even if not using
auto-shutdown because start-up will be from
a shutdown state).
Set the GxASE bit and clear the GxARSEN
bit.
5. Select the desired input source using the
CWGxCON1 register.
6. Configure the following controls in CWGxCON0
register:
Select desired clock source.
Select the desired output polarities.
Set the output enables for the outputs to be
used.
7. Set the GxEN bit.
8. Clear TRIS control bits corresponding to
CWGxA and CWGxB to be used to configure
those pins as outputs.
9. If auto-restart is to be used, set the GxARSEN
bit and the GxASE bit will be cleared automati-
cally. Otherwise, clear the GxASE bit to start the
CWG.
26.11.1 PIN OVERRIDE LEVELS
The levels driven to the output pins, while the shutdown
input is true, are controlled by the GxASDLA and
GxASDLB bits of the CWGxCON2 register
(Register 26-3). GxASDLA controls the CWG1A
override level and GxASDLB controls the CWG1B
override level. The control bit logic level corresponds to
the output logic drive level while in the shutdown state.
The polarity control does not apply to the override level.
26.11.2 AUTO-SHUTDOWN RESTART
After an auto-shutdown event has occurred, there are
two ways to have resume operation:
Software controlled
Auto-restart
The restart method is selected with the GxARSEN bit
of the CWGxCON2 register. Waveforms of software
controlled and automatic restarts are shown in
Figure 26-5 and Figure 26-6.
26.11.2.1 Software controlled restart
When the GxARSEN bit of the CWGxCON2 register is
cleared, the CWG must be restarted after an auto-shut-
down event by software.
Clearing the shutdown state requires all selected shut-
down inputs to be low, otherwise the GxASE bit will
remain set. The overrides will remain in effect until the
first rising edge event after the GxASE bit is cleared.
The CWG will then resume operation.
26.11.2.2 Auto-Restart
When the GxARSEN bit of the CWGxCON2 register is
set, the CWG will restart from the auto-shutdown state
automatically.
The GxASE bit will clear automatically when all shut-
down sources go low. The overrides will remain in
effect until the first rising edge event after the GxASE
bit is cleared. The CWG will then resume operation.

27.0 IN-CIRCUIT SERIAL
PROGRAMMING™ (ICSP™)
ICSP™ programming allows customers to manufacture
circuit boards with unprogrammed devices. Programming
can be done after the assembly process allowing the
device to be programmed with the most recent firmware
or a custom firmware. Five pins are needed for ICSP™
programming:
ICSPCLK
ICSPDAT
•MCLR
/VPP
•VDD
•VSS
In Program/Verify mode the Program Memory, User IDs
and the Configuration Words are programmed through
serial communications. The ICSPDAT pin is a bidirec-
tional I/O used for transferring the serial data and the
ICSPCLK pin is the clock input. For more information on
ICSP™ refer to the “PIC12(L)F1501/PIC16(L)F150X
Memory Programming Specification” (DS41573).
27.1 High-Voltage Programming Entry
Mode
The device is placed into High-Voltage Programming
Entry mode by holding the ICSPCLK and ICSPDAT
pins low then raising the voltage on MCLR/VPP to VIHH.
27.2 Low-Voltage Programming Entry
Mode
The Low-Voltage Programming Entry mode allows the
PIC Flash MCUs devices to be programmed using VDD
only, without high voltage. When the LVP bit of
Configuration Words is set to ‘1’, the low-voltage ICSP
programming entry is enabled. To disable the
Low-Voltage ICSP mode, the LVP bit must be
programmed to0’.
Entry into the Low-Voltage Programming Entry mode
requires the following steps:
1. MCLR is brought to VIL.
2. A 32-bit key sequence is presented on
ICSPDAT, while clocking ICSPCLK.
Once the key sequence is complete, MCLR must be
held at VIL for as long as Program/Verify mode is to be
maintained.
If low-voltage programming is enabled (LVP = 1), the
MCLR Reset function is automatically enabled and
cannot be disabled. See Section 6.4 “MCLR” for more
information.
The LVP bit can only be reprogrammed to ‘0’ by using
the High-Voltage Programming mode.
27.3 Common Programming Interfaces
Connection to a target device is typically done through
an ICSP™ header. A commonly found connector on
development tools is the RJ-11 in the 6P6C (6 pin, 6
connector) configuration. See Figure 27-1.
FIGURE 27-1: ICD RJ-11 STYLE
CONNECTOR INTERFACE
Another connector often found in use with the PICkit™
programmers is a standard 6-pin header with 0.1 inch

For additional interface recommendations, refer to your
specific device programmer manual prior to PCB
design.
It is recommended that isolation devices be used to
separate the programming pins from other circuitry.
The type of isolation is highly dependent on the specific
application and may include devices such as resistors,
diodes, or even jumpers. See Figure 27-3 for more
information.

28.0 INSTRUCTION SET SUMMARY
Each PIC16 instruction is a 14-bit word containing the
operation code (opcode) and all required operands.
The op codes are broken into three broad categories.
Byte Oriented
Bit Oriented
Literal and Control
The literal and control category contains the most var-
ied instruction word format.
Table 28-3 lists the instructions recognized by the
MPASMTM assembler.
All instructions are executed within a single instruction
cycle, with the following exceptions, which may take
two or three cycles:
Subroutine takes two cycles (CALL, CALLW)
Returns from interrupts or subroutines take two
cycles (RETURN, RETLW, RETFIE)
Program branching takes two cycles (GOTO, BRA,
BRW, BTFSS, BTFSC, DECFSZ, INCSFZ)
One additional instruction cycle will be used when
any instruction references an indirect file register
and the file select register is pointing to program
memory.
One instruction cycle consists of 4 oscillator cycles; for
an oscillator frequency of 4 MHz, this gives a nominal
instruction execution rate of 1 MHz.
All instruction examples use the format0xhh’ to
represent a hexadecimal number, where ‘h’ signifies a
hexadecimal digit.
28.1 Read-Modify-Write Operations
Any instruction that specifies a file register as part of
the instruction performs a Read-Modify-Write (R-M-W)
operation. The register is read, the data is modified,
and the result is stored according to either the instruc-
tion, or the destination designator ‘d’. A read operation
is performed on a register even if the instruction writes
to that register.

Note 1: The peripheral current is the sum of the base IDD or IPD and the additional current consumed when this peripheral is
enabled. The peripheral current can be determined by subtracting the base IDD or IPD current from this limit. Max
values should be used when calculating total current consumption.
2: The power-down current in Sleep mode does not depend on the oscillator type. Power-down current is measured with
the part in Sleep mode, with all I/O pins in high-impedance state and tied to VDD.
3: A/D oscillator source is FRC.

characterization data for that particular oscillator type under standard operating conditions with the device executing code.
Exceeding these specified limits may result in an unstable oscillator operation and/or higher than expected current con-
sumption. All devices are tested to operate at “min” values with an external clock applied to CLKIN pin. When an external
clock input is used, the “max” cycle time limit is “DC” (no clock) for all devices.

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

code from symbolic assembly language for PIC24,
PIC32 and dsPIC devices. MPLAB C Compiler uses
the assembler to produce its object file. The assembler
generates relocatable object files that can then be
archived or linked with other relocatable object files and
archives to create an executable file. Notable features
of the assembler include:
Support for the entire device instruction set
Support for fixed-point and floating-point data
Command line interface
Rich directive set
Flexible macro language
