PIC18F87J11 FAMILY

NOTES:

PIC18F87J11 FAMILY

1.0 DEVICE OVERVIEW

This document contains device-specific information for

the following devices:

This family introduces a line of low-voltage, general

purpose microcontrollers with the main traditional

advantage of all PIC18 microcontrollers – namely, high

computational performance and a rich feature set – at

an extremely competitive price point. These features

make the PIC18F87J11 Family a logical choice for

many high-performance applications, where an

extended peripheral feature set is required, and cost is

a primary consideration.

1.1 Core Features

1.1.1 nanoWatt TECHNOLOGY

All of the devices in the PIC18F87J11 family incorporate

a range of features that can significantly reduce power

consumption during operation. Key items include:

•Alternate Run Modes: By clocking the controller

from the Timer1 source or the internal RC oscilla-

tor, power consumption during code execution

can be reduced by as much as 90%.

•Multiple Idle Modes: The controller can also run

with its CPU core disabled but the peripherals still

active. In these states, power consumption can be

reduced even further, to as little as 4% of normal

operation requirements.

•On-the-Fly Mode Switching: The

power-managed modes are invoked by user code

during operation, allowing the user to incorporate

power-saving ideas into their application’s

software design.

1.1.2 OSCILLATOR OPTIONS AND

FEATURES

All of the devices in the PIC18F87J11 Family offer four

different oscillator options, allowing users a range of

choices in developing application hardware. These

include:

• Two Crystal modes, using crystals or ceramic

resonators.

• Two External Clock modes, offering the option of

a divide-by-4 clock output.

• An internal oscillator block which provides an

8 MHz clock and an INTRC source (approxi-

mately 31 kHz, stable over temperature and VDD),

as well as a range of 6 user-selectable clock

frequencies, between 125 kHz to 4 MHz, for a

total of 8 clock frequencies. This option frees an

oscillator pin for use as an additional general

purpose I/O.

• A Phase Lock Loop (PLL) frequency multiplier,

available to all of the oscillator modes, which

allows a wide range of clock speeds from 16 MHz

to 40 MHz

The internal oscillator block provides a stable reference

source that gives the family additional features for

robust operation:

•Fail-Safe Clock Monitor: This option constantly

monitors the main clock source against a reference

signal provided by the internal oscillator. If a clock

failure occurs, the controller is switched to the

internal oscillator, allowing for continued low-speed

operation or a safe application shutdown.

•Two-Speed Start-up: This option allows the

internal oscillator to serve as the clock source

from Power-on Reset, or wake-up from Sleep

mode, until the primary clock source is available.

1.1.3 EXPANDED MEMORY

The PIC18F87J11 family provides ample room for

application code, from 64 Kbytes to 128 Kbytes of code

space. The Flash cells for program memory are rated

to last up to 10,000 erase/write cycles. Data retention

without refresh is conservatively estimated to be

greater than 20 years.

The Flash program memory is readable, writable, and

during normal operation, the PIC18F87J11 Family also

provides plenty of room for dynamic application data

with up to 3930 bytes of data RAM.

1.1.4 EXTERNAL MEMORY BUS

In the event that 128 Kbytes of memory are inadequate

for an application, the 80-pin members of the

PIC18F87J11 Family also implement an External Mem-

ory Bus (EMB). This allows the controller’s internal

program counter to address a memory space of up to

2 Mbytes, permitting a level of data access that few

8-bit devices can claim. This allows additional memory

options, including:

• Using combinations of on-chip and external

memory up to the 2-Mbyte limit

• Using external Flash memory for reprogrammable

application code or large data tables

• Using external RAM devices for storing large

amounts of variable data

1.1.5 EXTENDED INSTRUCTION SET

The PIC18F87J11 Family implements the optional

extension to the PIC18 instruction set, adding 8 new

instructions and an Indexed Addressing mode.

Enabled as a device configuration option, the extension

has been specifically designed to optimize re-entrant

application code originally developed in high-level

languages, such as ‘C’.

• PIC18F66J11 • PIC18F86J11

• PIC18F66J16 • PIC18F86J16

• PIC18F67J11 • PIC18F87J11

PIC18F87J11 FAMILY

1.1.6 EASY MIGRATION

Regardless of the memory size, all devices share the

same rich set of peripherals, allowing for a smooth

migration path as applications grow and evolve.

The consistent pinout scheme used throughout the

entire family also aids in migrating to the next larger

device. This is true when moving between the 64-pin

members, between the 80-pin members, or even

jumping from 64-pin to 80-pin devices.

The PIC18F87J11 Family is also pin compatible with

other PIC18 families, such as the PIC18F87J10,

PIC18F85J11, PIC18F8720 and PIC18F8722. This

allows a new dimension to the evolution of applications,

allowing developers to select different price points

within Microchip’s PIC18 portfolio, while maintaining

the same feature set.

1.2 Other Special Features

•Communications: The PIC18F87J11 Family

incorporates a range of serial and parallel com-

munication peripherals. These devices all include

2 independent Enhanced USARTs and 2 Master

SSP modules, capable of both SPI and I2C™

(Master and Slave) modes of operation. The

devices also have a parallel port and can be

configured to function as either a Parallel Master

Port or as a Parallel Slave Port.

•CCP Modules: All devices in the family incorporate

two Capture/Compare/PWM (CCP) modules and

three Enhanced CCP (ECCP) modules to maximize

flexibility in control applications. Up to four different

time bases may be used to perform several

different operations at once. Each of the three

ECCP modules offers up to four PWM outputs,

allowing for a total of 12 PWMs. The ECCPs also

offer many beneficial features, including polarity

selection, programmable dead time, auto-shutdown

and restart, and Half-Bridge and Full-Bridge Output

modes.

•10-Bit A/D Converter: This module incorporates

programmable acquisition time, allowing for a

channel to be selected and a conversion to be

initiated without waiting for a sampling period, and

thus, reducing code overhead.

•Extended Watchdog Timer (WDT): This

enhanced version incorporates a 16-bit prescaler,

allowing an extended time-out range that is stable

across operating voltage and temperature. See

Section 27.0 “Electrical Characteristics” for

time-out periods.

1.3 Details on Individual Family

Members

Devices in the PIC18F87J11 Family are available in

64-pin and 80-pin packages. Block diagrams for the

two groups are shown in Figure 1-1 and Figure 1-2.

The devices are differentiated from each other in three

ways:

1. Flash program memory (three sizes, ranging

from 64 Kbytes for PIC18FX6J11 devices to

128 Kbytes for PIC18FX7J11 devices).

2. I/O ports (7 bidirectional ports on 64-pin devices,

9 bidirectional ports on 80-pin devices).

3. A/D input channels (11 on 64-pin devices, 15 on

80-pin devices).

All other features for devices in this family are identical.

These are summarized in Table 1-1 and Table 1-2.

The pinouts for all devices are listed in Table 1-3 and

Table 1-4.

2.0 OSCILLATOR

CONFIGURATIONS

2.1 Oscillator Types

The PIC18F87J11 family of devices can be operated in

eight different oscillator modes:

1. HS High-Speed Crystal/Resonator

2. HSPLL High-Speed Crystal/Resonator

with Software PLL Control

3. EC External Clock with FOSC/4 Output

4. ECPLL External Clock with Software PLL

Control

5. INTIO1 Internal Oscillator Block with FOSC/4

Output on RA6 and I/O on RA7

6. INTIO2 Internal Oscillator Block with I/O on

RA6 and RA7

7. INTPLL1 Internal Oscillator Block with Software

PLL Control, FOSC/4 Output on RA6

and I/O on RA7

8. INTPLL2 Internal Oscillator Block with Software

PLL Control and I/O on RA6 and RA7

All of these modes are selected by the user by

programming the FOSC2:FOSC0 Configuration bits.

In addition, PIC18F87J11 Family devices can switch

between different clock sources, either under software

control or automatically under certain conditions. This

allows for additional power savings by managing

device clock speed in real time without resetting the

application.

The clock sources for the PIC18F87J11 family of

devices are shown in Figure 2-1.

2.2 Control Registers

The OSCCON register (Register 2-1) controls the main

aspects of the device clock’s operation. It selects the

oscillator type to be used, which of the power-managed

modes to invoke and the output frequency of the

INTOSC source. It also provides status on the oscillators.

The OSCTUNE register (Register 2-2) controls the

tuning and operation of the internal oscillator block. It

also implements the PLLEN bits which control the

operation of the Phase Locked Loop (PLL) (see

Section 2.4.3 “PLL Frequency Multiplier”).

PIC18F87J11 FAMILY

2.3 Clock Sources and

Oscillator Switching

Essentially, PIC18F87J11 Family devices have three

independent clock sources:

• Primary oscillators

• Secondary oscillators

• Internal oscillator

The primary oscillators can be thought of as the main

device oscillators. These are any external oscillators

connected to the OSC1 and OSC2 pins, and include

the External Crystal and Resonator modes and the

External Clock modes. If selected by the

FOSC2:FOSC0 Configuration bits, the internal

oscillator block (either the 31 kHz INTRC or the 8 MHz

INTOSC source) may be considered a primary

oscillator. The particular mode is defined by the FOSC

Configuration bits. The details of these modes are

covered in Section 2.4 “External Oscillator Modes”.

The secondary oscillators are external clock sources

that are not connected to the OSC1 or OSC2 pins.

These sources may continue to operate even after the

controller is placed in a power-managed mode.

PIC18F87J11 Family devices offer the Timer1 oscillator

as a secondary oscillator source. This oscillator, in all

power-managed modes, is often the time base for

functions such as a Real-Time Clock (RTC). The

Timer1 oscillator is discussed in greater detail in

Section 13.0 “Timer1 Module”

In addition to being a primary clock source in some cir-

cumstances, the internal oscillator is available as a

power-managed mode clock source. The INTRC

source is also used as the clock source for several

special features, such as the WDT and Fail-Safe Clock

Monitor. The internal oscillator block is discussed in

more detail in Section 2.5 “Internal Oscillator

Block”.

The PIC18F87J11 Family includes features that allow

the device clock source to be switched from the main

oscillator, chosen by device configuration, to one of the

alternate clock sources. When an alternate clock

source is enabled, various power-managed operating

modes are available.

2.3.1 CLOCK SOURCE SELECTION

The System Clock Select bits, SCS1:SCS0

(OSCCON<1:0>), select the clock source. The avail-

able clock sources are the primary clock defined by the

FOSC2:FOSC0 Configuration bits, the secondary

clock (Timer1 oscillator) and the internal oscillator. The

clock source changes after one or more of the bits are

written to, following a brief clock transition interval.

The OSTS (OSCCON<3>) and T1RUN (T1CON<6>)

bits indicate which clock source is currently providing

the device clock. The OSTS bit indicates that the

Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) has timed out and the

primary clock is providing the device clock in primary

clock modes. The T1RUN bit indicates when the

Timer1 oscillator is providing the device clock in sec-

ondary clock modes. In power-managed modes, only

one of these bits will be set at any time. If neither of

these bits is set, the INTRC is providing the clock, or

the internal oscillator has just started and is not yet

stable.

The IDLEN bit determines if the device goes into Sleep

mode or one of the Idle modes when the SLEEP

instruction is executed.

The use of the flag and control bits in the OSCCON

“Power-Managed Modes”.

2.3.1.1 System Clock Selection and Device

Resets

Since the SCS bits are cleared on all forms of Reset,

this means the primary oscillator defined by the

FOSC2:FOSC0 Configuration bits is used as the

primary clock source on device Resets. This could

either be the internal oscillator block by itself, or one of

the other primary clock source (HS, EC, HSPLL,

ECPLL1/2 or INTPLL1/2).

In those cases when the internal oscillator block, with-

out PLL, is the default clock on Reset, the Fast RC

oscillator (INTOSC) will be used as the device clock

source. It will initially start at 4 MHz; the postscaler

selection that corresponds to the Reset value of the

IRCF2:IRCF0 bits (‘110’).

Regardless of which primary oscillator is selected,

INTRC will always be enabled on device power-up. It

serves as the clock source until the device has loaded

its configuration values from memory. It is at this point

that the FOSC Configuration bits are read and the

oscillator selection of the operational mode is made.

Note that either the primary clock source, or the internal

oscillator, will have two bit setting options for the possible

values of the SCS1:SCS0 bits at any given time.

2.3.2 OSCILLATOR TRANSITIONS

PIC18F87J11 family devices contain circuitry to

prevent clock “glitches” when switching between clock

sources. A short pause in the device clock occurs dur-

ing the clock switch. The length of this pause is the sum

of two cycles of the old clock source and three to four

cycles of the new clock source. This formula assumes

that the new clock source is stable.

Clock transitions are discussed in greater detail in

Section 3.1.2 “Entering Power-Managed Modes”.

Note 1: The Timer1 oscillator must be enabled to

select the secondary clock source. The

Timer1 oscillator is enabled by setting the

T1OSCEN bit in the Timer1 Control regis-

ter (T1CON<3>). If the Timer1 oscillator is

not enabled, then any attempt to select a

secondary clock source when executing a

SLEEP instruction will be ignored.

2: It is recommended that the Timer1

oscillator be operating and stable before

executing the SLEEP instruction or a very

long delay may occur while the Timer1

oscillator starts.

2.4 External Oscillator Modes

2.4.1 CRYSTAL OSCILLATOR/CERAMIC

RESONATORS (HS MODES)

In HS or HSPLL Oscillator modes, a crystal or ceramic

resonator is connected to the OSC1 and OSC2 pins to

establish oscillation. Figure 2-2 shows the pin

connections.

The oscillator design requires the use of a crystal rated

for parallel resonant operation.

2.4.2 EXTERNAL CLOCK INPUT

(EC MODES)

The EC and ECPLL Oscillator modes require an

external clock source to be connected to the OSC1 pin.

There is no oscillator start-up time required after a

Power-on Reset or after an exit from Sleep mode.

In the EC Oscillator mode, the oscillator frequency

divided by 4 is available on the OSC2 pin. This signal

may be used for test purposes or to synchronize other

logic. Figure 2-3 shows the pin connections for the EC

Oscillator mode.

FIGURE 2-3: EXTERNAL CLOCK

INPUT OPERATION

(EC CONFIGURATION)

An external clock source may also be connected to the

OSC1 pin in the HS mode, as shown in Figure 2-4. In

this configuration, the divide-by-4 output on OSC2 is

not available. Current consumption in this configuration

will be somewhat higher than EC mode, as the internal

oscillator’s feedback circuitry will be enabled (in EC

mode, the feedback circuit is disabled).

FIGURE 2-4: EXTERNAL CLOCK INPUT

OPERATION (HS OSC

CONFIGURATION)

2.4.3 PLL FREQUENCY MULTIPLIER

A Phase Locked Loop (PLL) circuit is provided as an

option for users who want to use a lower frequency

oscillator circuit, or to clock the device up to its highest

rated frequency from a crystal oscillator. This may be

useful for customers who are concerned with EMI due

to high-frequency crystals, or users who require higher

clock speeds from an internal oscillator.

2.4.3.1 HSPLL and ECPLL Modes

The HSPLL and ECPLL modes provide the ability to

selectively run the device at 4 times the external

oscillating source to produce frequencies up to

40 MHz.

The PLL is enabled by programming the

FOSC2:FOSC0 Configuration bits to either ‘111’ (for

ECPLL) or ‘101’ (for HSPLL). In addition, the PLLEN bit

(OSCTUNE<6>) must also be set. Clearing PLLEN

disables the PLL, regardless of the chosen oscillator

configuration. It also allows additional flexibility for

controlling the application’s clock speed in software.

FIGURE 2-5: PLL BLOCK DIAGRAM

2.4.3.2 PLL and INTOSC

The PLL is also available to the internal oscillator block

when the internal oscillator block is configured as the

primary clock source. In this configuration, the PLL is

enabled in software and generates a clock output of up

to 32 MHz. The operation of INTOSC with the PLL is

described in Section 2.5.2 “INTPLL Modes”.

2.5 Internal Oscillator Block

The PIC18F87J11 Family of devices includes an

internal oscillator block which generates two different

clock signals; either can be used as the microcontrol-

ler’s clock source. This may eliminate the need for an

external oscillator circuit on the OSC1 and/or OSC2

pins.

The main output is the Fast RC oscillator, or INTOSC,

an 8 MHz clock source which can be used to directly

drive the device clock. It also drives a postscaler, which

can provide a range of clock frequencies from 31 kHz

to 4 MHz. INTOSC is enabled when a clock frequency

from 125 kHz to 8 MHz is selected. The INTOSC out-

put can also be enabled when 31 kHz is selected,

depending on the INTSRC bit (OSCTUNE<7>).

The other clock source is the internal RC oscillator

(INTRC), which provides a nominal 31 kHz output.

INTRC is enabled if it is selected as the device clock

source; it is also enabled automatically when any of the

following are enabled:

• Power-up Timer

• Fail-Safe Clock Monitor

• Watchdog Timer

• Two-Speed Start-up

These features are discussed in greater detail in

Section 24.0 “Special Features of the CPU”.

The clock source frequency (INTOSC direct, INTOSC

with postscaler or INTRC direct) is selected by config-

uring the IRCF bits of the OSCCON register. The

default frequency on device Resets is 4 MHz.

2.5.1 INTIO MODES

Using the internal oscillator as the clock source elimi-

nates the need for up to two external oscillator pins,

which can then be used for digital I/O. Two distinct

oscillator configurations, which are determined by the

FOSC Configuration bits, are available:

• In INTIO1 mode, the OSC2 pin outputs FOSC/4,

while OSC1 functions as RA7 (see Figure 2-6) for

digital input and output.

• In INTIO2 mode, OSC1 functions as RA7 and

OSC2 functions as RA6 (see Figure 2-7), both for

digital input and output.

FIGURE 2-6: INTIO1 OSCILLATOR MODE

FIGURE 2-7: INTIO2 OSCILLATOR MODE

2.5.2 INTPLL MODES

The 4x Phase Locked Loop (PLL) can be used with the

internal oscillator block to produce faster device clock

speeds than are normally possible with the internal

oscillator sources. When enabled, the PLL produces a

clock speed of 16 MHz or 32 MHz.

PLL operation is controlled through software. The con-

trol bit, PLLEN (OSCTUNE<6>), is used to enable or

disable its operation. The PLL is available only to

INTOSC when the device is configured to use one of

the INTPLL modes as the primary clock source

(FOSC2:FOSC0 = 011 or 010). Additionally, the PLL

will only function when the selected output frequency is

either 4 MHz or 8 MHz (OSCCON<6:4> = 111 or 110).

Like the INTIO modes, there are two distinct INTPLL

modes available:

• In INTPLL1 mode, the OSC2 pin outputs FOSC/4,

while OSC1 functions as RA7 for digital input and

output. Externally, this is identical in appearance

to INTIO1 (Figure 2-6).

• In INTPLL2 mode, OSC1 functions as RA7 and

OSC2 functions as RA6, both for digital input and

output. Externally, this is identical to INTIO2

(Figure 2-7).

2.5.3 INTERNAL OSCILLATOR OUTPUT

FREQUENCY AND TUNING

The internal oscillator block is calibrated at the factory

to produce an INTOSC output frequency of 8 MHz. It

can be adjusted in the user’s application by writing to

TUN5:TUN0 (OSCTUNE<5:0>) in the OSCTUNE

When the OSCTUNE register is modified, the INTOSC

frequency will begin shifting to the new frequency. The

oscillator will stabilize within 1 ms. Code execution

continues during this shift and there is no indication that

the shift has occurred.

The INTRC oscillator operates independently of the

INTOSC source. Any changes in INTOSC across

voltage and temperature are not necessarily reflected

by changes in INTRC or vice versa. The frequency of

INTRC is not affected by OSCTUNE.

2.5.4 INTOSC FREQUENCY DRIFT

The INTOSC frequency may drift as VDD or tempera-

ture changes, and can affect the controller operation in

a variety of ways. It is possible to adjust the INTOSC

frequency by modifying the value in the OSCTUNE reg-

ister. Depending on the device, this may have no effect

on the INTRC clock source frequency.

Tuning INTOSC requires knowing when to make the

adjustment, in which direction it should be made, and in

some cases, how large a change is needed. Three

compensation techniques are shown here.

2.5.4.1 Compensating with the EUSART

An adjustment may be required when the EUSART

begins to generate framing errors or receives data with

errors while in Asynchronous mode. Framing errors

indicate that the device clock frequency is too high. To

adjust for this, decrement the value in OSCTUNE to

reduce the clock frequency. On the other hand, errors

in data may suggest that the clock speed is too low. To

compensate, increment OSCTUNE to increase the

clock frequency.

2.5.4.2 Compensating with the Timers

This technique compares device clock speed to some

reference clock. Two timers may be used; one timer is

clocked by the peripheral clock, while the other is

clocked by a fixed reference source, such as the

Timer1 oscillator.

Both timers are cleared, but the timer clocked by the

reference generates interrupts. When an interrupt

occurs, the internally clocked timer is read and both

timers are cleared. If the internally clocked timer value

is much greater than expected, then the internal

oscillator block is running too fast. To adjust for this,

decrement the OSCTUNE register.

2.5.4.3 Compensating with the CCP Module

in Capture Mode

A CCP module can use free-running Timer1 (or

Timer3), clocked by the internal oscillator block and an

external event with a known period (i.e., AC power

frequency). The time of the first event is captured in the

CCPRxH:CCPRxL registers and is recorded for use

later. When the second event causes a capture, the

time of the first event is subtracted from the time of the

second event. Since the period of the external event is

known, the time difference between events can be

calculated.

If the measured time is much greater than the

calculated time, the internal oscillator block is running

too fast. To compensate, decrement the OSCTUNE

calculated time, the internal oscillator block is running

too slow. To compensate, increment the OSCTUNE

2.6 Reference Clock Output

In addition to the FOSC/4 clock output in certain oscilla-

tor modes, the device clock in the PIC18F87J11 family

can also be configured to provide a reference clock out-

put signal to a port pin. This feature is available in all

oscillator configurations and allows the user to select a

greater range of clock sub-multiples to drive external

devices in the application.

This reference clock output is controlled by the

REFOCON register (Register 2-3). Setting the ROON

bit (REFOCON<7>) makes the clock signal available

on the REFO (RE3) pin. The RODIV3:RODIV0 bits

enable the selection of 16 different clock divider

options.

The ROSSLP and ROSEL bits (REFOCON<5:4>) con-

trol the availability of the reference output during Sleep

mode. The ROSEL bit determines if the oscillator on

OSC1 and OSC2, or the current system clock source,

is used for the reference clock output. The ROSSLP bit

determines if the reference source is available on RE3

when the device is in Sleep mode.

To use the reference clock output in Sleep mode, both

the ROSSLP and ROSEL bits must be set. The device

clock must also be configured for an EC or HS mode;

otherwise, the oscillator on OSC1 and OSC2 will be

powered down when the device enters Sleep mode.

Clearing the ROSEL bit allows the reference output

frequency to change as the system clock changes

during any clock switches.

The REFOCON register is an alternate SFR, and

shares the same memory address as the OSCCON

WDTCON register (WDTCON<4>).

PIC18F87J11 FAMILY

2.7 Effects of Power-Managed Modes

on the Various Clock Sources

When PRI_IDLE mode is selected, the designated pri-

mary oscillator continues to run without interruption.

For all other power-managed modes, the oscillator

using the OSC1 pin is disabled. The OSC1 pin (and

OSC2 pin if used by the oscillator) will stop oscillating.

In secondary clock modes (SEC_RUN and

SEC_IDLE), the Timer1 oscillator is operating and

providing the device clock. The Timer1 oscillator may

also run in all power-managed modes if required to

clock Timer1 or Timer3.

In RC_RUN and RC_IDLE modes, the internal

oscillator provides the device clock source. The 31 kHz

INTRC output can be used directly to provide the clock

and may be enabled to support various special

features, regardless of the power-managed mode (see

Section 24.2 “Watchdog Timer (WDT)” through

Section 24.5 “Fail-Safe Clock Monitor” for more

information on WDT, Fail-Safe Clock Monitor and

Two-Speed Start-up).

If the Sleep mode is selected, all clock sources are

stopped. Since all the transistor switching currents

have been stopped, Sleep mode achieves the lowest

current consumption of the device (only leakage

currents).

Enabling any on-chip feature that will operate during

Sleep will increase the current consumed during Sleep.

The INTRC is required to support WDT operation. The

Timer1 oscillator may be operating to support a Real-

Time Clock (RTC). Other features may be operating

that do not require a device clock source (i.e., MSSP

slave, PSP, INTx pins and others). Peripherals that

may add significant current consumption are listed in

Section 27.2 “DC Characteristics: Power-Down and

Supply Current”.

2.8 Power-up Delays

Power-up delays are controlled by two timers, so that

no external Reset circuitry is required for most applica-

tions. The delays ensure that the device is kept in

Reset until the device power supply is stable under nor-

mal circumstances and the primary clock is operating

and stable. For additional information on power-up

delays, see Section 4.6 “Power-up Timer (PWRT)”.

The first timer is the Power-up Timer (PWRT), which

provides a fixed delay on power-up (parameter 33,

Table 27-12); it is always enabled.

The second timer is the Oscillator Start-up Timer

(OST), intended to keep the chip in Reset until the

crystal oscillator is stable (HS modes). The OST does

this by counting 1024 oscillator cycles before allowing

the oscillator to clock the device.

There is a delay of interval T

CSD (parameter 38,

Table 27-12), following POR, while the controller

becomes ready to execute instructions.

PIC18F87J11 FAMILY

3.0 POWER-MANAGED MODES

The PIC18F87J11 Family of devices provides the ability

to manage power consumption by simply managing

clocking to the CPU and the peripherals. In general, a

lower clock frequency and a reduction in the number of

circuits being clocked constitutes lower consumed

power. For the sake of managing power in an

application, there are three primary modes of operation:

• Run mode

• Idle mode

• Sleep mode

These modes define which portions of the device are

clocked and at what speed. The Run and Idle modes

may use any of the three available clock sources (pri-

mary, secondary or internal oscillator block); the Sleep

mode does not use a clock source.

The power-managed modes include several

power-saving features offered on previous devices.

One is the clock switching feature, offered in other

PIC18 devices, allowing the controller to use the

Timer1 oscillator in place of the primary oscillator. Also

included is the Sleep mode, offered by all PIC®

devices, where all device clocks are stopped.

3.1 Selecting Power-Managed Modes

Selecting a power-managed mode requires two

decisions: if the CPU is to be clocked or not and which

clock source is to be used. The IDLEN bit

(OSCCON<7>) controls CPU clocking, while the

SCS1:SCS0 bits (OSCCON<1:0>) select the clock

source. The individual modes, bit settings, clock

sources and affected modules are summarized in

Table 3-1.

3.1.1 CLOCK SOURCES

The SCS1:SCS0 bits allow the selection of one of three

clock sources for power-managed modes. They are:

• the primary clock, as defined by the

FOSC2:FOSC0 Configuration bits

• the secondary clock (Timer1 oscillator)

• the internal oscillator

3.1.2 ENTERING POWER-MANAGED

MODES

Switching from one power-managed mode to another

begins by loading the OSCCON register. The

SCS1:SCS0 bits select the clock source and determine

which Run or Idle mode is to be used. Changing these

bits causes an immediate switch to the new clock

source, assuming that it is running. The switch may

also be subject to clock transition delays. These are

discussed in Section 3.1.3 “Clock Transitions and

Status Indicators” and subsequent sections.

Entry to the power-managed Idle or Sleep modes is

triggered by the execution of a SLEEP instruction. The

actual mode that results depends on the status of the

IDLEN bit.

Depending on the current mode and the mode being

switched to, a change to a power-managed mode does

not always require setting all of these bits. Many

transitions may be done by changing the oscillator

select bits, or changing the IDLEN bit, prior to issuing a

SLEEP instruction. If the IDLEN bit is already

configured correctly, it may only be necessary to

perform a SLEEP instruction to switch to the desired

mode.

PIC18F87J11 FAMILY

3.1.3 CLOCK TRANSITIONS AND STATUS

INDICATORS

The length of the transition between clock sources is

the sum of two cycles of the old clock source and three

to four cycles of the new clock source. This formula

assumes that the new clock source is stable.

Two bits indicate the current clock source and its status:

OSTS (OSCCON<3>) and T1RUN (T1CON<6>). In

general, only one of these bits will be set while in a given

power-managed mode. When the OSTS bit is set, the

primary clock is providing the device clock. When the

T1RUN bit is set, the Timer1 oscillator is providing the

clock. If neither of these bits is set, INTRC is clocking the

device.

3.1.4 MULTIPLE SLEEP COMMANDS

The power-managed mode that is invoked with the

SLEEP instruction is determined by the setting of the

IDLEN bit at the time the instruction is executed. If

another SLEEP instruction is executed, the device will

enter the power-managed mode specified by IDLEN at

that time. If IDLEN has changed, the device will enter

the new power-managed mode specified by the new

setting.

3.2 Run Modes

In the Run modes, clocks to both the core and

peripherals are active. The difference between these

modes is the clock source.

3.2.1 PRI_RUN MODE

The PRI_RUN mode is the normal, full-power execu-

tion mode of the microcontroller. This is also the default

mode upon a device Reset unless Two-Speed Start-up

is enabled (see Section 24.4 “Two-Speed Start-up”

for details). In this mode, the OSTS bit is set. (see

Section 2.2 “Control Registers”).

3.2.2 SEC_RUN MODE

The SEC_RUN mode is the compatible mode to the

“clock switching” feature offered in other PIC18

devices. In this mode, the CPU and peripherals are

clocked from the Timer1 oscillator. This gives users the

option of lower power consumption while still using a

high-accuracy clock source.

SEC_RUN mode is entered by setting the SCS1:SCS0

bits to ‘01’. The device clock source is switched to the

Timer1 oscillator (see Figure 3-1), the primary oscilla-

tor is shut down, the T1RUN bit (T1CON<6>) is set and

the OSTS bit is cleared.

Note: Executing a SLEEP instruction does not

necessarily place the device into Sleep

mode. It acts as the trigger to place the

controller into either the Sleep mode, or

one of the Idle modes, depending on the

setting of the IDLEN bit.

PIC18F87J11 FAMILY

On transitions from SEC_RUN mode to PRI_RUN

mode, the peripherals and CPU continue to be clocked

from the Timer1 oscillator while the primary clock is

started. When the primary clock becomes ready, a

clock switch back to the primary clock occurs (see

Figure 3-2). When the clock switch is complete, the

T1RUN bit is cleared, the OSTS bit is set and the

primary clock is providing the clock. The IDLEN and

SCS bits are not affected by the wake-up; the Timer1

oscillator continues to run.

FIGURE 3-1: TRANSITION TIMING FOR ENTRY TO SEC_RUN MODE

FIGURE 3-2: TRANSITION TIMING FROM SEC_RUN MODE TO PRI_RUN MODE (HSPLL)

Note: The Timer1 oscillator should already be

running prior to entering SEC_RUN mode.

If the T1OSCEN bit is not set when the

SCS1:SCS0 bits are set to ‘01’, entry to

SEC_RUN mode will not occur. If the

Timer1 oscillator is enabled, but not yet

running, device clocks will be delayed until

the oscillator has started. In such situa-

tions, initial oscillator operation is far from

stable and unpredictable operation may

result.

3.2.3 RC_RUN MODE

In RC_RUN mode, the CPU and peripherals are

clocked from the internal oscillator; the primary clock is

shut down. This mode provides the best power conser-

vation of all the Run modes while still executing code.

It works well for user applications which are not highly

timing sensitive or do not require high-speed clocks at

all times.

This mode is entered by setting SCS<1:0> to ‘11’.

When the clock source is switched to the internal

oscillator block (see Figure 3-3), the primary oscillator

is shut down and the OSTS bit is cleared.

On transitions from RC_RUN mode to PRI_RUN mode,

the device continues to be clocked from the INTOSC

block while the primary clock is started. When the

primary clock becomes ready, a clock switch to the pri-

mary clock occurs (see Figure 3-4). When the clock

switch is complete, the OSTS bit is set and the primary

clock is providing the device clock. The IDLEN and

SCS bits are not affected by the switch. The INTRC

block source will continue to run if either the WDT or the

Fail-Safe Clock Monitor is enabled.

3.3 Sleep Mode

The power-managed Sleep mode is identical to the leg-

acy Sleep mode offered in all other PIC devices. It is

entered by clearing the IDLEN bit (the default state on

device Reset) and executing the SLEEP instruction.

This shuts down the selected oscillator (Figure 3-5). All

clock source status bits are cleared.

Entering the Sleep mode from any other mode does not

require a clock switch. This is because no clocks are

needed once the controller has entered Sleep. If the

WDT is selected, the INTRC source will continue to

operate. If the Timer1 oscillator is enabled, it will also

continue to run.

When a wake event occurs in Sleep mode (by interrupt,

Reset or WDT time-out), the device will not be clocked

until the clock source selected by the SCS1:SCS0 bits

becomes ready (see Figure 3-6), or it will be clocked

from the internal oscillator if either the Two-Speed

Start-up or the Fail-Safe Clock Monitor are enabled

(see Section 24.0 “Special Features of the CPU”). In

either case, the OSTS bit is set when the primary clock

is providing the device clocks. The IDLEN and SCS bits

are not affected by the wake-up.

3.4 Idle Modes

The Idle modes allow the controller’s CPU to be

selectively shut down while the peripherals continue to

operate. Selecting a particular Idle mode allows users

to further manage power consumption.

If the IDLEN bit is set to ‘1’ when a SLEEP instruction is

executed, the peripherals will be clocked from the clock

source selected using the SCS1:SCS0 bits; however, the

CPU will not be clocked. The clock source status bits are

not affected. Setting IDLEN and executing a SLEEP

instruction provides a quick method of switching from a

given Run mode to its corresponding Idle mode.

If the WDT is selected, the INTRC source will continue

to operate. If the Timer1 oscillator is enabled, it will also

continue to run.

Since the CPU is not executing instructions, the only

exits from any of the Idle modes are by interrupt, WDT

time-out or a Reset. When a wake event occurs, CPU

execution is delayed by an interval of TCSD

(parameter 38, Table 27-12) while it becomes ready to

execute code. When the CPU begins executing code,

it resumes with the same clock source for the current

Idle mode. For example, when waking from RC_IDLE

mode, the internal oscillator block will clock the CPU

and peripherals (in other words, RC_RUN mode). The

IDLEN and SCS bits are not affected by the wake-up.

While in any Idle mode or the Sleep mode, a WDT

time-out will result in a WDT wake-up to the Run mode

currently specified by the SCS1:SCS0 bits.

3.4.1 PRI_IDLE MODE

This mode is unique among the three low-power Idle

modes, in that it does not disable the primary device

clock. For timing sensitive applications, this allows for

the fastest resumption of device operation with its more

accurate primary clock source, since the clock source

does not have to “warm up” or transition from another

oscillator.

PRI_IDLE mode is entered from PRI_RUN mode by

setting the IDLEN bit and executing a SLEEP instruc-

tion. If the device is in another Run mode, set IDLEN

first, then set the SCS bits to ‘10’ and execute SLEEP.

Although the CPU is disabled, the peripherals continue

to be clocked from the primary clock source specified

by the FOSC1:FOSC0 Configuration bits. The OSTS

bit remains set (see Figure 3-7).

When a wake event occurs, the CPU is clocked from the

primary clock source. A delay of interval TCSD is

required between the wake event and when code exe-

cution starts. This is required to allow the CPU to

become ready to execute instructions. After the

wake-up, the OSTS bit remains set. The IDLEN and

SCS bits are not affected by the wake-up (see

Figure 3-8).

3.4.2 SEC_IDLE MODE

In SEC_IDLE mode, the CPU is disabled but the

peripherals continue to be clocked from the Timer1

oscillator. This mode is entered from SEC_RUN by set-

ting the IDLEN bit and executing a SLEEP instruction. If

the device is in another Run mode, set IDLEN first, then

set SCS1:SCS0 to ‘01’ and execute SLEEP. When the

clock source is switched to the Timer1 oscillator, the

primary oscillator is shut down, the OSTS bit is cleared

and the T1RUN bit is set.

When a wake event occurs, the peripherals continue to

be clocked from the Timer1 oscillator. After an interval

of TCSD following the wake event, the CPU begins exe-

cuting code being clocked by the Timer1 oscillator. The

IDLEN and SCS bits are not affected by the wake-up;

the Timer1 oscillator continues to run (see Figure 3-8).

FIGURE 3-7: TRANSITION TIMING FOR ENTRY TO IDLE MODE

FIGURE 3-8: TRANSITION TIMING FOR WAKE FROM IDLE TO RUN MODE

Note: The Timer1 oscillator should already be

running prior to entering SEC_IDLE mode.

If the T1OSCEN bit is not set when the

SLEEP instruction is executed, the SLEEP

instruction will be ignored and entry to

SEC_IDLE mode will not occur. If the

Timer1 oscillator is enabled, but not yet

running, peripheral clocks will be delayed

until the oscillator has started. In such

situations, initial oscillator operation is far

from stable and unpredictable operation

may result.

3.4.3 RC_IDLE MODE

In RC_IDLE mode, the CPU is disabled but the

peripherals continue to be clocked from the internal

oscillator block. This mode allows for controllable

power conservation during Idle periods.

From RC_RUN, this mode is entered by setting the

IDLEN bit and executing a SLEEP instruction. If the

device is in another Run mode, first set IDLEN, then

clear the SCS bits and execute SLEEP. When the clock

source is switched to the INTOSC block, the primary

oscillator is shut down and the OSTS bit is cleared.

When a wake event occurs, the peripherals continue to

be clocked from the internal oscillator block. After a

delay of TCSD following the wake event, the CPU

begins executing code being clocked by the INTRC.

The IDLEN and SCS bits are not affected by the

wake-up. The INTRC source will continue to run if

either the WDT or the Fail-Safe Clock Monitor is

enabled.

3.5 Exiting Idle and Sleep Modes

An exit from Sleep mode, or any of the Idle modes, is

triggered by an interrupt, a Reset or a WDT time-out.

This section discusses the triggers that cause exits

from power-managed modes. The clocking subsystem

actions are discussed in each of the power-managed

modes sections (see Section 3.2 “Run Modes”,

Section 3.3 “Sleep Mode” and Section 3.4 “Idle

Modes”).

3.5.1 EXIT BY INTERRUPT

Any of the available interrupt sources can cause the

device to exit from an Idle mode, or the Sleep mode, to

a Run mode. To enable this functionality, an interrupt

source must be enabled by setting its enable bit in one

of the INTCON or PIE registers. The exit sequence is

initiated when the corresponding interrupt flag bit is set.

On all exits from Idle or Sleep modes by interrupt, code

execution branches to the interrupt vector if the

GIE/GIEH bit (INTCON<7>) is set. Otherwise, code

execution continues or resumes without branching

(see Section 9.0 “Interrupts”).

A fixed delay of interval, TCSD, following the wake event

is required when leaving Sleep and Idle modes. This

delay is required for the CPU to prepare for execution.

Instruction execution resumes on the first clock cycle

following this delay.

3.5.2 EXIT BY WDT TIME-OUT

A WDT time-out will cause different actions depending

on which power-managed mode the device is in when

the time-out occurs.

If the device is not executing code (all Idle modes and

Sleep mode), the time-out will result in an exit from the

power-managed mode (see Section 3.2 “Run

Modes” and Section 3.3 “Sleep Mode”). If the device

is executing code (all Run modes), the time-out will

result in a WDT Reset (see Section 24.2 “Watchdog

Timer (WDT)”).

The Watchdog Timer and postscaler are cleared by one

of the following events:

• Executing a SLEEP or CLRWDT instruction

• The loss of a currently selected clock source (if

the Fail-Safe Clock Monitor is enabled)

3.5.3 EXIT BY RESET

Exiting an Idle or Sleep mode by Reset automatically

forces the device to run from the INTRC.

3.5.4 EXIT WITHOUT AN OSCILLATOR

START-UP DELAY

Certain exits from power-managed modes do not

invoke the OST at all. There are two cases:

• PRI_IDLE mode, where the primary clock source

is not stopped; and

• The primary clock source is either the EC or

ECPLL mode.

In these instances, the primary clock source either

does not require an oscillator start-up delay, since it is

already running (PRI_IDLE), or normally does not

require an oscillator start-up delay (EC). However, a

fixed delay of interval, T

CSD, following the wake event

is still required when leaving Sleep and Idle modes to

allow the CPU to prepare for execution. Instruction

execution resumes on the first clock cycle following this

delay.

4.0 RESET

The PIC18F87J11 Family of devices differentiate

between various kinds of Reset:

a) Power-on Reset (POR)

b) MCLR Reset during normal operation

c) MCLR Reset during power-managed modes

d) Watchdog Timer (WDT) Reset (during

execution)

e) Configuration Mismatch (CM)

f) Brown-out Reset (BOR)

g) RESET Instruction

h) Stack Full Reset

i) Stack Underflow Reset

This section discusses Resets generated by MCLR,

POR and BOR and covers the operation of the various

start-up timers. Stack Reset events are covered in

Section 5.1.6.4 “Stack Full and Underflow Resets”.

WDT Resets are covered in Section 24.2 “Watchdog

Timer (WDT)”.

A simplified block diagram of the on-chip Reset circuit

is shown in Figure 4-1.

4.1 RCON Register

Device Reset events are tracked through the RCON

occurred. In most cases, these bits can only be set by

the event and must be cleared by the application after

the event. The state of these flag bits, taken together,

can be read to indicate the type of Reset that just

occurred. This is described in more detail in

Section 4.7 “Reset State of Registers”.

The RCON register also has a control bit for setting

interrupt priority (IPEN). Interrupt priority is discussed

in Section 9.0 “Interrupts”.

Power-on Resets may be detected.

BOR” for more information.

3: Brown-out Reset is said to have occurred when BOR is ‘0’ and POR is ‘1’ (assuming that POR was set to

‘1’ by software immediately after a Power-on Reset).

PIC18F87J11 FAMILY

4.2 Master Clear (MCLR)

The MCLR pin provides a method for triggering a hard

external Reset of the device. A Reset is generated by

holding the pin low. PIC18 extended microcontroller

devices have a noise filter in the MCLR Reset path

which detects and ignores small pulses.

The MCLR pin is not driven low by any internal Resets,

including the WDT.

4.3 Power-on Reset (POR)

A Power-on Reset condition is generated on-chip

whenever VDD rises above a certain threshold. This

allows the device to start in the initialized state when

VDD is adequate for operation.

To take advantage of the POR circuitry, tie the MCLR

pin through a resistor (1 kΩ to 10 kΩ) to VDD. This will

eliminate external RC components usually needed to

create a Power-on Reset delay. A minimum rise rate for

VDD is specified (parameter D004). For a slow rise

time, see Figure 4-2.

When the device starts normal operation (i.e., exits the

Reset condition), device operating parameters

(voltage, frequency, temperature, etc.) must be met to

ensure operation. If these conditions are not met, the

device must be held in Reset until the operating

conditions are met.

Power-on Reset events are captured by the POR bit

(RCON<1>). The state of the bit is set to ‘0’ whenever

a Power-on Reset occurs; it does not change for any

other Reset event. POR is not reset to ‘1’ by any

hardware event. To capture multiple events, the user

manually resets the bit to ‘1’ in software following any

Power-on Reset.

4.4 Brown-out Reset (BOR)

The PIC18F87J11 family of devices incorporates a

simple Brown-out Reset function when the internal reg-

ulator is enabled (ENVREG pin is tied to VDD). Any

drop of VDD below VBOR (parameter D005)) for greater

than time TBOR (parameter 35) will reset the device. A

Reset may or may not occur if VDD falls below VBOR for

less than TBOR. The chip will remain in Brown-out

Reset until VDD rises above VBOR.

Once a Brown-out Reset has occurred, the Power-up

Timer will keep the chip in Reset for TPWRT

(parameter 33). If VDD drops below VBOR while the

Power-up Timer is running, the chip will go back into a

Brown-out Reset and the Power-up Timer will be

initialized. Once VDD rises above VBOR, the Power-up

Timer will execute the additional time delay.

FIGURE 4-2: EXTERNAL POWER-ON

RESET CIRCUIT (FOR

SLOW VDD POWER-UP)

4.4.1 DETECTING BOR

The BOR bit always resets to ‘0’ on any Brown-out

Reset or Power-on Reset event. This makes it difficult

to determine if a Brown-out Reset event has occurred

just by reading the state of BOR alone. A more reliable

method is to simultaneously check the state of both

POR and BOR. This assumes that the POR bit is reset

to ‘1’ in software immediately after any Power-on Reset

event. If BOR is ‘0’ while POR is ‘1’, it can be reliably

assumed that a Brown-out Reset event has occurred.

If the voltage regulator is disabled, Brown-out Reset

functionality is disabled. In this case, the BOR bit

cannot be used to determine a Brown-out Reset event.

The BOR bit is still cleared by a Power-on Reset event.

4.5 Configuration Mismatch (CM)

The Configuration Mismatch (CM) Reset is designed to

detect and attempt to recover from random, memory

corrupting events. These include Electrostatic Discharge

(ESD) events, which can cause widespread, single-bit

changes throughout the device and result in catastrophic

failure.

In PIC18FXXJ Flash devices, the device Configuration

registers (located in the configuration memory space)

are continuously monitored during operation by

comparing their values to complimentary shadow reg-

isters. If a mismatch is detected between the two sets

of registers, a CM Reset automatically occurs. These

events are captured by the CM bit (RCON<5>). The

state of the bit is set to ‘0’ whenever a CM event occurs;

it does not change for any other Reset event.

Note 1: External Power-on Reset circuit is required

only if the VDD power-up slope is too slow.

The diode D helps discharge the capacitor

quickly when VDD powers down.

2: R < 40 kΩ is recommended to make sure that

the voltage drop across R does not violate

the device’s electrical specification.

3: R1 ≥ 1 kΩ will limit any current flowing into

MCLR from external capacitor C, in the event

of MCLR/VPP pin breakdown, due to

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) or Electrical

Overstress (EOS).

MCLR

PIC18F87J11

PIC18F87J11 FAMILY

A CM Reset behaves similarly to a Master Clear Reset,

RESET instruction, WDT time-out or Stack Event

Resets. As with all hard and power Reset events, the

device Configuration Words are reloaded from the

Flash Configuration Words in program memory as the

device restarts.

4.6 Power-up Timer (PWRT)

PIC18F87J11 Family devices incorporate an on-chip

Power-up Timer (PWRT) to help regulate the Power-on

Reset process. The PWRT is always enabled. The

main function is to ensure that the device voltage is

stable before code is executed.

The Power-up Timer (PWRT) of the PIC18F87J11

Family devices is an 11-bit counter which uses the

INTRC source as the clock input. This yields an

approximate time interval of 2048 x 32 μs=66ms.

While the PWRT is counting, the device is held in

Reset.

The power-up time delay depends on the INTRC clock

and will vary from chip-to-chip due to temperature and

process variation. See DC parameter 33 for details.

4.6.1 TIME-OUT SEQUENCE

If enabled, the PWRT time-out is invoked after the POR

pulse has cleared. The total time-out will vary based on

the status of the PWRT. Figure 4-3, Figure 4-4,

Figure 4-5 and Figure 4-6 all depict time-out

sequences on power-up with the Power-up Timer

enabled.

Since the time-outs occur from the POR pulse, if MCLR

is kept low long enough, the PWRT will expire. Bringing

MCLR high will begin execution immediately

(Figure 4-5). This is useful for testing purposes, or to

synchronize more than one PIC18FXXXX device

operating in parallel.

4.7 Reset State of Registers

Most registers are unaffected by a Reset. Their status

is unknown on POR and unchanged by all other

Resets. The other registers are forced to a “Reset

state” depending on the type of Reset that occurred.

Most registers are not affected by a WDT wake-up,

since this is viewed as the resumption of normal

operation. Status bits from the RCON register (CM, RI,

TO, PD, POR and BOR) are set or cleared differently in

different Reset situations, as indicated in Table 4-1.

These bits are used in software to determine the nature

of the Reset.

Table 4-2 describes the Reset states for all of the

Special Function Registers. These are categorized by

Power-on and Brown-out Resets, Master Clear and

WDT Resets and WDT wake-ups.

PIC18F87J11 FAMILY

5.0 MEMORY ORGANIZATION

There are two types of memory in PIC18 Flash

microcontroller devices:

• Program Memory

• Data RAM

As Harvard architecture devices, the data and program

memories use separate busses; this allows for

concurrent access of the two memory spaces.

Additional detailed information on the operation of the

Flash program memory is provided in Section 6.0

“Flash Program Memory”.

5.1 Program Memory Organization

PIC18 microcontrollers implement a 21-bit program

counter which is capable of addressing a 2-Mbyte

program memory space. Accessing a location between

the upper boundary of the physically implemented

memory and the 2-Mbyte address will return all ‘0’s (a

NOP instruction).

The entire PIC18F87J11 Family of devices offers three

different on-chip Flash program memory sizes, from

64 Kbytes (up to 16,384 single-word instructions) to

128 Kbytes (65,536 single-word instructions). The

program memory maps for individual family members

are shown in Figure 5-3.

5.1.1 HARD MEMORY VECTORS

All PIC18 devices have a total of three hard-coded

return vectors in their program memory space. The

Reset vector address is the default value to which the

program counter returns on all device Resets; it is

located at 0000h.

PIC18 devices also have two interrupt vector

addresses for the handling of high-priority and

low-priority interrupts. The high-priority interrupt vector

is located at 0008h and the low-priority interrupt vector

is at 0018h. Their locations in relation to the program

memory map are shown in Figure 5-2.

5.1.2 FLASH CONFIGURATION WORDS

Because PIC18F87J11 Family devices do not have

persistent configuration memory, the top four words of

on-chip program memory are reserved for configuration

information. On Reset, the configuration information is

copied into the Configuration registers.

The Configuration Words are stored in their program

memory location in numerical order, starting with the

lower byte of CONFIG1 at the lowest address and

ending with the upper byte of CONFIG4. For these

devices, only Configuration Words, CONFIG1 through

CONFIG3, are used; CONFIG4 is reserved. The actual

addresses of the Flash Configuration Word for devices

in the PIC18F87J11 Family are shown in Table 5-1.

Their location in the memory map is shown with the

other memory vectors in Figure 5-2.

Additional details on the device Configuration Words

are provided in Section 24.1 “Configuration Bits”.

5.1.3 PIC18F8XJ11/8XJ16 PROGRAM

MEMORY MODES

The 80-pin devices in this family can address up to a

total of 2 Mbytes of program memory. This is achieved

through the external memory bus. There are two

distinct operating modes available to the controllers:

• Microcontroller (MC)

• Extended Microcontroller (EMC)

The program memory mode is determined by setting

the EMB Configuration bits (CONFIG3L<5:4>), as

shown in Register 5-1. (See also Section 24.1

“Configuration Bits” for additional details on the

device Configuration bits.)

The program memory modes operate as follows:

•The Microcontroller Mode accesses only on-chip

Flash memory. Attempts to read above the top of

on-chip memory causes a read of all ‘0’s (a NOP

instruction).

The Microcontroller mode is also the only operating

mode available to 64-pin devices.

•The Extended Microcontroller Mode allows

access to both internal and external program

memories as a single block. The device can

access its entire on-chip program memory; above

this, the device accesses external program

memory up to the 2-Mbyte program space limit.

Execution automatically switches between the

two memories as required.

The setting of the EMB Configuration bits also controls

the address bus width of the external memory bus. This

is covered in more detail in Section 7.0 “External

Memory Bus”.

In all modes, the microcontroller has complete access

to data RAM.

Figure 5-3 compares the memory maps of the different

program memory modes. The differences between

on-chip and external memory access limitations are

more fully explained in Table 5-2.

5.1.4 EXTENDED MICROCONTROLLER

MODE AND ADDRESS SHIFTING

By default, devices in Extended Microcontroller mode

directly present the program counter value on the

external address bus for those addresses in the range

of the external memory space. In practical terms, this

means addresses in the external memory device below

the top of on-chip memory are unavailable.

To avoid this, the Extended Microcontroller mode

implements an address shifting option to enable auto-

matic address translation. In this mode, addresses

presented on the external bus are shifted down by the

size of the on-chip program memory and are remapped

to start at 0000h. This allows the complete use of the

external memory device’s memory space as an

extension of the device’s on-chip program memory.

5.1.5 PROGRAM COUNTER

The Program Counter (PC) specifies the address of the

instruction to fetch for execution. The PC is 21 bits wide

and is contained in three separate 8-bit registers. The

low byte, known as the PCL register, is both readable

and writable. The high byte, or PCH register, contains

the PC<15:8> bits; it is not directly readable or writable.

Updates to the PCH register are performed through the

PCLATH register. The upper byte is called PCU. This

directly readable or writable. Updates to the PCU

The contents of PCLATH and PCLATU are transferred

to the program counter by any operation that writes

PCL. Similarly, the upper two bytes of the program

counter are transferred to PCLATH and PCLATU by an

operation that reads PCL. This is useful for computed

offsets to the PC (see Section 5.1.8.1 “Computed

GOTO”).

The PC addresses bytes in the program memory. To

prevent the PC from becoming misaligned with word

instructions, the Least Significant bit of PCL is fixed to

a value of ‘0’. The PC increments by 2 to address

sequential instructions in the program memory.

The CALL, RCALL, GOTO and program branch

instructions write to the program counter directly. For

these instructions, the contents of PCLATH and

PCLATU are not transferred to the program counter.

5.1.6 RETURN ADDRESS STACK

The return address stack allows any combination of up

to 31 program calls and interrupts to occur. The PC is

pushed onto the stack when a CALL or RCALL instruc-

tion is executed, or an interrupt is Acknowledged. The

PC value is pulled off the stack on a RETURN, RETLW

or a RETFIE instruction (and on ADDULNK and

SUBULNK instructions if the extended instruction set is

enabled). PCLATU and PCLATH are not affected by

any of the RETURN or CALL instructions.

The stack operates as a 31-word by 21-bit RAM and a

5-bit Stack Pointer, STKPTR. The stack space is not

part of either program or data space. The Stack Pointer

is readable and writable and the address on the top of

the stack is readable and writable through the

Top-of-Stack Special Function Registers. Data can also

be pushed to, or popped from the stack, using these

registers.

A CALL type instruction causes a push onto the stack.

The Stack Pointer is first incremented and the location

pointed to by the Stack Pointer is written with the

contents of the PC (already pointing to the instruction

following the CALL). A RETURN type instruction causes

a pop from the stack. The contents of the location

pointed to by the STKPTR are transferred to the PC

and then the Stack Pointer is decremented.

The Stack Pointer is initialized to ‘00000’ after all

Resets. There is no RAM associated with the location

corresponding to a Stack Pointer value of ‘00000’; this

is only a Reset value. Status bits indicate if the stack is

full, has overflowed or has underflowed.

5.1.6.1 Top-of-Stack Access

Only the top of the return address stack (TOS) is

readable and writable. A set of three registers,

TOSU:TOSH:TOSL, hold the contents of the stack loca-

tion pointed to by the STKPTR register (Figure 5-4). This

allows users to implement a software stack if necessary.

After a CALL, RCALL or interrupt (and ADDULNK and

SUBULNK instructions if the extended instruction set is

enabled), the software can read the pushed value by

reading the TOSU:TOSH:TOSL registers. These values

can be placed on a user-defined software stack. At

return time, the software can return these values to

TOSU:TOSH:TOSL and do a return.

The user must disable the global interrupt enable bits

while accessing the stack to prevent inadvertent stack

corruption.

PIC18F87J11 FAMILY

5.1.6.2 Return Stack Pointer (STKPTR)

The STKPTR register (Register 5-2) contains the Stack

Pointer value, the STKFUL (Stack Full) status bit and

the STKUNF (Stack Underflow) status bits. The value

of the Stack Pointer can be 0 through 31. The Stack

Pointer increments before values are pushed onto the

stack and decrements after values are popped off the

stack. On Reset, the Stack Pointer value will be zero.

The user may read and write the Stack Pointer value.

This feature can be used by a Real-Time Operating

System (RTOS) for return stack maintenance.

After the PC is pushed onto the stack 31 times (without

popping any values off the stack), the STKFUL bit is

set. The STKFUL bit is cleared by software or by a

POR.

The action that takes place when the stack becomes

full depends on the state of the STVREN (Stack Over-

flow Reset Enable) Configuration bit. (Refer to

Section 24.1 “Configuration Bits” for a description of

the device Configuration bits.) If STVREN is set

(default), the 31st push will push the (PC + 2) value

onto the stack, set the STKFUL bit and reset the

device. The STKFUL bit will remain set and the Stack

Pointer will be set to zero.

If STVREN is cleared, the STKFUL bit will be set on the

31st push and the Stack Pointer will increment to 31.

Any additional pushes will not overwrite the 31st push

and the STKPTR will remain at 31.

When the stack has been popped enough times to

unload the stack, the next pop will return a value of zero

to the PC and set the STKUNF bit, while the Stack

Pointer remains at zero. The STKUNF bit will remain

set until cleared by software or until a POR occurs.

5.1.6.3 PUSH and POP Instructions

Since the Top-of-Stack is readable and writable, the

ability to push values onto the stack and pull values off

the stack, without disturbing normal program execu-

tion, is a desirable feature. The PIC18 instruction set

includes two instructions, PUSH and POP, that permit

the TOS to be manipulated under software control.

TOSU, TOSH and TOSL can be modified to place data

or a return address on the stack.

The PUSH instruction places the current PC value onto

the stack. This increments the Stack Pointer and loads

the current PC value onto the stack.

The POP instruction discards the current TOS by

decrementing the Stack Pointer. The previous value

pushed onto the stack then becomes the TOS value.

Note: Returning a value of zero to the PC on an

underflow has the effect of vectoring the

program to the Reset vector, where the

stack conditions can be verified and

appropriate actions can be taken. This is

not the same as a Reset, as the contents

of the SFRs are not affected.

5.1.6.4 Stack Full and Underflow Resets

Device Resets on stack overflow and stack underflow

conditions are enabled by setting the STVREN bit in

Configuration Register 1L. When STVREN is set, a full

or underflow condition will set the appropriate STKFUL

or STKUNF bit and then cause a device Reset. When

STVREN is cleared, a full or underflow condition will set

the appropriate STKFUL or STKUNF bit, but not cause

a device Reset. The STKFUL or STKUNF bits are

cleared by the user software or a Power-on Reset.

5.1.7 FAST REGISTER STACK

A Fast Register Stack is provided for the STATUS,

WREG and BSR registers to provide a “fast return”

option for interrupts. This stack is only one level deep

and is neither readable nor writable. It is loaded with the

current value of the corresponding register when the

processor vectors for an interrupt. All interrupt sources

will push values into the Stack registers. The values in

the registers are then loaded back into the working

registers if the RETFIE, FAST instruction is used to

return from the interrupt.

If both low and high-priority interrupts are enabled, the

Stack registers cannot be used reliably to return from

low-priority interrupts. If a high-priority interrupt occurs

while servicing a low-priority interrupt, the Stack

be overwritten. In these cases, users must save the key

registers in software during a low-priority interrupt.

If interrupt priority is not used, all interrupts may use the

Fast Register Stack for returns from interrupt. If no

interrupts are used, the Fast Register Stack can be

used to restore the STATUS, WREG and BSR registers

at the end of a subroutine call. To use the Fast Register

Stack for a subroutine call, a CALL label, FAST

instruction must be executed to save the STATUS,

WREG and BSR registers to the Fast Register Stack. A

RETURN, FAST instruction is then executed to restore

these registers from the Fast Register Stack.

Example 5-1 shows a source code example that uses

the Fast Register Stack during a subroutine call and

return.

EXAMPLE 5-1: FAST REGISTER STACK

CODE EXAMPLE

5.1.8 LOOK-UP TABLES IN PROGRAM

MEMORY

There may be programming situations that require the

creation of data structures, or look-up tables, in

program memory. For PIC18 devices, look-up tables

can be implemented in two ways:

• Computed GOTO

• Table Reads

5.1.8.1 Computed GOTO

A computed GOTO is accomplished by adding an offset

to the program counter. An example is shown in

Example 5-2.

A look-up table can be formed with an ADDWF PCL

instruction and a group of RETLW nn instructions. The

W register is loaded with an offset into the table before

executing a call to that table. The first instruction of the

called routine is the ADDWF PCL instruction. The next

instruction executed will be one of the RETLW nn

instructions that returns the value ‘nn’ to the calling

function.

The offset value (in WREG) specifies the number of

bytes that the program counter should advance and

should be multiples of 2 (LSb = 0).

In this method, only one data byte may be stored in

each instruction location and room on the return

address stack is required.

EXAMPLE 5-2: COMPUTED GOTO USING

AN OFFSET VALUE

5.1.8.2 Table Reads

A better method of storing data in program memory

allows two bytes of data to be stored in each instruction

location.

Look-up table data may be stored two bytes per

program word while programming. The Table Pointer

(TBLPTR) specifies the byte address and the Table

Latch (TABLAT) contains the data that is read from the

program memory. Data is transferred from program

memory one byte at a time.

Table read operation is discussed further in

Section 6.1 “Table Reads and Table Writes”.

5.2 PIC18 Instruction Cycle

5.2.1 CLOCKING SCHEME

The microcontroller clock input, whether from an

internal or external source, is internally divided by four

to generate four non-overlapping quadrature clocks

(Q1, Q2, Q3 and Q4). Internally, the program counter is

incremented on every Q1; the instruction is fetched

from the program memory and latched into the Instruc-

tion Register (IR) during Q4. The instruction is decoded

and executed during the following Q1 through Q4. The

clocks and instruction execution flow are shown in

Figure 5-5.

5.2.2 INSTRUCTION FLOW/PIPELINING

An “Instruction Cycle” consists of four Q cycles, Q1

through Q4. The instruction fetch and execute are pipe-

lined in such a manner that a fetch takes one instruction

cycle, while the decode and execute takes another

instruction cycle. However, due to the pipelining, each

instruction effectively executes in one cycle. If an

instruction causes the program counter to change (e.g.,

GOTO), then two cycles are required to complete the

instruction (Example 5-3).

A fetch cycle begins with the Program Counter (PC)

incrementing in Q1.

In the execution cycle, the fetched instruction is latched

into the Instruction Register (IR) in cycle Q1. This

instruction is then decoded and executed during the

Q2, Q3 and Q4 cycles. Data memory is read during Q2

(operand read) and written during Q4 (destination

write).

PIC18F87J11 FAMILY

5.2.3 INSTRUCTIONS IN PROGRAM

MEMORY

The program memory is addressed in bytes. Instruc-

tions are stored as two bytes or four bytes in program

memory. The Least Significant Byte of an instruction

word is always stored in a program memory location

with an even address (LSB = 0). To maintain alignment

with instruction boundaries, the PC increments in steps

of 2 and the LSB will always read ‘0’ (see Section 5.1.5

“Program Counter”).

Figure 5-6 shows an example of how instruction words

are stored in the program memory.

The CALL and GOTO instructions have the absolute

program memory address embedded into the instruc-

tion. Since instructions are always stored on word

boundaries, the data contained in the instruction is a

word address. The word address is written to PC<20:1>

which accesses the desired byte address in program

memory. Instruction #2 in Figure 5-6 shows how the

instruction, GOTO 0006h, is encoded in the program

memory. Program branch instructions, which encode a

relative address offset, operate in the same manner. The

offset value stored in a branch instruction represents the

number of single-word instructions that the PC will be

offset by. Section 25.0 “Instruction Set Summary”

provides further details of the instruction set.

FIGURE 5-6: INSTRUCTIONS IN PROGRAM MEMORY

5.2.4 TWO-WORD INSTRUCTIONS

The standard PIC18 instruction set has four two-word

instructions: CALL, MOVFF, GOTO and LSFR. In all

cases, the second word of the instructions always has

‘1111’ as its four Most Significant bits; the other 12 bits

are literal data, usually a data memory address.

The use of ‘1111’ in the 4 MSbs of an instruction

specifies a special form of NOP. If the instruction is

executed in proper sequence – immediately after the

first word – the data in the second word is accessed

and used by the instruction sequence. If the first word

is skipped for some reason and the second word is

executed by itself, a NOP is executed instead. This is

necessary for cases when the two-word instruction is

preceded by a conditional instruction that changes the

PC. Example 5-4 shows how this works.

5.3 Data Memory Organization

The data memory in PIC18 devices is implemented as

static RAM. Each register in the data memory has a

12-bit address, allowing up to 4096 bytes of data

memory. The memory space is divided into as many as

16 banks that contain 256 bytes each. The

PIC18F87J11 family implements all available banks

and provide 3936 bytes of data memory available to the

user. Figure 5-7 shows the data memory organization

for the devices.

The data memory contains Special Function Registers

(SFRs) and General Purpose Registers (GPRs). The

SFRs are used for control and status of the controller

and peripheral functions, while GPRs are used for data

storage and scratchpad operations in the user’s

application. Any read of an unimplemented location will

read as ‘0’s.

The instruction set and architecture allow operations

across all banks. The entire data memory may be

accessed by Direct, Indirect or Indexed Addressing

modes. Addressing modes are discussed later in this

section.

To ensure that commonly used registers (select SFRs

and select GPRs) can be accessed in a single cycle,

PIC18 devices implement an Access Bank. This is a

256-byte memory space that provides fast access to

select SFRs and the lower portion of GPR Bank 0 with-

out using the BSR. Section 5.3.2 “Access Bank”

provides a detailed description of the Access RAM.

5.3.1 BANK SELECT REGISTER

Large areas of data memory require an efficient

addressing scheme to make rapid access to any

address possible. Ideally, this means that an entire

address does not need to be provided for each read or

write operation. For PIC18 devices, this is accom-

plished with a RAM banking scheme. This divides the

memory space into 16 contiguous banks of 256 bytes.

Depending on the instruction, each location can be

addressed directly by its full 12-bit address, or an 8-bit

low-order address and a 4-bit Bank Pointer.

Most instructions in the PIC18 instruction set make use

of the Bank Pointer, known as the Bank Select Register

(BSR). This SFR holds the 4 Most Significant bits of a

location’s address; the instruction itself includes the

8 Least Significant bits. Only the four lower bits of the

BSR are implemented (BSR3:BSR0). The upper four

bits are unused; they will always read ‘0’ and cannot be

written to. The BSR can be loaded directly by using the

MOVLB instruction.

The value of the BSR indicates the bank in data mem-

ory. The 8 bits in the instruction show the location in the

bank and can be thought of as an offset from the bank’s

lower boundary. The relationship between the BSR’s

value and the bank division in data memory is shown in

Figure 5-8.

Since up to 16 registers may share the same low-order

address, the user must always be careful to ensure that

the proper bank is selected before performing a data

read or write. For example, writing what should be

program data to an 8-bit address of F9h while the BSR

is 0Fh, will end up resetting the program counter.

While any bank can be selected, only those banks that

are actually implemented can be read or written to.

Writes to unimplemented banks are ignored, while

reads from unimplemented banks will return ‘0’s. Even

so, the STATUS register will still be affected as if the

operation was successful. The data memory map in

Figure 5-7 indicates which banks are implemented.

In the core PIC18 instruction set, only the MOVFF

instruction fully specifies the 12-bit address of the

source and target registers. This instruction ignores the

BSR completely when it executes. All other instructions

include only the low-order address as an operand and

must use either the BSR or the Access Bank to locate

their target registers.

Note: The operation of some aspects of data

memory are changed when the PIC18

extended instruction set is enabled. See

Section 5.6 “Data Memory and the

Extended Instruction Set” for more

information.

Note 1: Addresses F5Ah through F5Fh are also used by SFRs, but are not part of the Access RAM. Users must always

use the complete address, or load the proper BSR value, to access these registers.

PIC18F87J11 FAMILY

FIGURE 5-8: USE OF THE BANK SELECT REGISTER (DIRECT ADDRESSING)

5.3.2 ACCESS BANK

While the use of the BSR with an embedded 8-bit

address allows users to address the entire range of

data memory, it also means that the user must always

ensure that the correct bank is selected. Otherwise,

data may be read from or written to the wrong location.

This can be disastrous if a GPR is the intended target

of an operation, but an SFR is written to instead.

Verifying and/or changing the BSR for each read or

write to data memory can become very inefficient.

To streamline access for the most commonly used data

memory locations, the data memory is configured with

an Access Bank, which allows users to access a

mapped block of memory without specifying a BSR.

The Access Bank consists of the first 96 bytes of

memory (00h-5Fh) in Bank 0 and the last 160 bytes of

memory (60h-FFh) in Bank 15. The lower half is known

as the “Access RAM” and is composed of GPRs. The

upper half is where the device’s SFRs are mapped.

These two areas are mapped contiguously in the

Access Bank and can be addressed in a linear fashion

by an 8-bit address (Figure 5-7).

The Access Bank is used by core PIC18 instructions

that include the Access RAM bit (the ‘a’ parameter in

the instruction). When ‘a’ is equal to ‘1’, the instruction

uses the BSR and the 8-bit address included in the

opcode for the data memory address. When ‘a’ is ‘0’,

however, the instruction is forced to use the Access

Bank address map; the current value of the BSR is

ignored entirely.

Using this “forced” addressing allows the instruction to

operate on a data address in a single cycle without

updating the BSR first. For 8-bit addresses of 60h and

above, this means that users can evaluate and operate

on SFRs more efficiently. The Access RAM below 60h

is a good place for data values that the user might need

to access rapidly, such as immediate computational

results or common program variables. Access RAM

also allows for faster and more code efficient context

saving and switching of variables.

The mapping of the Access Bank is slightly different

when the extended instruction set is enabled (XINST

Configuration bit = 1). This is discussed in more detail

in Section 5.6.3 “Mapping the Access Bank in

Indexed Literal Offset Mode”.

5.3.3 GENERAL PURPOSE

PIC18 devices may have banked memory in the GPR

area. This is data RAM which is available for use by all

instructions. GPRs start at the bottom of Bank 0

(address 000h) and grow upwards towards the bottom

of the SFR area. GPRs are not initialized by a

Power-on Reset and are unchanged on all other

Resets.

Note 1: The Access RAM bit of the instruction can be used to force an override of the selected bank (BSR<3:0>) to

the registers of the Access Bank.

2: The MOVFF instruction embeds the entire 12-bit address in the instruction.

5.3.4 SPECIAL FUNCTION REGISTERS

The Special Function Registers (SFRs) are registers

used by the CPU and peripheral modules for controlling

the desired operation of the device. These registers are

implemented as static RAM. SFRs start at the top of

data memory (FFFh) and extend downward to occupy

more than the top half of Bank 15 (F5Ah to FFFh). A list

of these registers is given inTable 5-3, Table 5-4 and

Table 5-5.

The SFRs can be classified into two sets: those

associated with the “core” device functionality (ALU,

Resets and interrupts) and those related to the

peripheral functions. The Reset and interrupt registers

are described in their respective chapters, while the

ALU’s STATUS register is described later in this

section. Registers related to the operation of the

peripheral features are described in the chapter for that

peripheral.

The SFRs are typically distributed among the

peripherals whose functions they control. Unused SFR

locations are unimplemented and read as ‘0’s

Note: Addresses, F5Ah through F5Fh, are not

part of the Access Bank. These registers

must always be accessed using the Bank

Select Register.

PIC18F87J11 FAMILY

5.3.4.1 Shared Address SFRs

In several locations in the SFR bank, a single address

is used to access two different hardware registers. In

these cases, a “legacy” register of the standard PIC18

SFR set (such as OSCCON, T1CON, etc.) shares its

address with an alternate register. These alternate reg-

isters are associated with enhanced configuration

options for peripherals, or with new device features not

included in the standard PIC18 SFR map. A complete

list of shared register addresses and the registers

associated with them is provided in Table 5-4.

Access to the alternate registers is enabled in software

by setting the ADSHR bit in the WDTCON register

(Register 5-3). ADSHR must be manually set or

cleared to access the alternate or legacy registers, as

required. Since the bit remains in a given state until

changed, users should always verify the state of

ADSHR before writing to any of the shared SFR

addresses.

5.3.4.2 Context Defined SFRs

In addition to the shared address SFRs, there are

several registers that share the same address in the

SFR space, but are not accessed with the ADSHR bit.

Instead, the register’s definition and use depends on

the operating mode of its associated peripheral. These

registers are:

• SSPxADD and SSPxMSK: These are two

separate hardware registers, accessed through a

single SFR address. The operating mode of the

MSSP module determines which register is being

accessed. See Section 19.4.3.4 “7-Bit Address

Masking Mode” for additional details.

• PMADDRH/L and PMDOUT2H/L: In this case,

these named buffer pairs are actually the same

physical registers. The PMP module’s operating

mode determines what function the registers take

on. See Section 11.1.2 “Data Registers” for

additional details.

5.3.5 STATUS REGISTER

The STATUS register, shown in Register 5-4, contains

the arithmetic status of the ALU. The STATUS register

can be the operand for any instruction, as with any

other register. If the STATUS register is the destination

for an instruction that affects the Z, DC, C, OV or N bits,

then the write to these five bits is disabled.

These bits are set or cleared according to the device

logic. Therefore, the result of an instruction with the

STATUS register as destination may be different than

intended. For example, CLRF STATUS will set the Z bit

but leave the other bits unchanged. The STATUS

recommended, therefore, that only BCF, BSF, SWAPF,

MOVFF and MOVWF instructions are used to alter the

STATUS register because these instructions do not

affect the Z, C, DC, OV or N bits in the STATUS

For other instructions not affecting any Status bits, see

the instruction set summaries in Table 25-2 and

Table 25-3.

Note: The C and DC bits operate as a borrow and

digit borrow bit respectively, in subtraction.

bit 7-5 Unimplemented: Read as ‘0’

bit 4 N: Negative bit

This bit is used for signed arithmetic (2’s complement). It indicates whether the result was

negative (ALU MSB = 1).

1 = Result was negative

0 = Result was positive

bit 3 OV: Overflow bit

This bit is used for signed arithmetic (2’s complement). It indicates an overflow of the

7-bit magnitude which causes the sign bit (bit 7) to change state.

1 = Overflow occurred for signed arithmetic (in this arithmetic operation)

0 = No overflow occurred

bit 2 Z: Zero bit

1 = The result of an arithmetic or logic operation is zero

0 = The result of an arithmetic or logic operation is not zero

bit 1 DC: Digit carry/borrow bit(1)

For ADDWF, ADDLW, SUBLW and SUBWF instructions:

1 = A carry-out from the 4th low-order bit of the result occurred

0 = No carry-out from the 4th low-order bit of the result

bit 0 C: Carry/borrow bit(2)

For ADDWF, ADDLW, SUBLW and SUBWF instructions:

1 = A carry-out from the Most Significant bit of the result occurred

0 = No carry-out from the Most Significant bit of the result occurred

Note 1: For borrow, the polarity is reversed. A subtraction is executed by adding the 2’s complement of the second

operand. For rotate (RRF, RLF) instructions, this bit is loaded with either bit 4 or bit 3 of the source register.

2: For borrow, the polarity is reversed. A subtraction is executed by adding the 2’s complement of the second

operand. For rotate (RRF, RLF) instructions, this bit is loaded with either the high or low-order bit of the

source register.

5.4 Data Addressing Modes

While the program memory can be addressed in only

one way – through the program counter – information

in the data memory space can be addressed in several

ways. For most instructions, the addressing mode is

fixed. Other instructions may use up to three modes,

depending on which operands are used and whether or

not the extended instruction set is enabled.

The addressing modes are:

• Inherent

• Literal

•Direct

•Indirect

An additional addressing mode, Indexed Literal Offset,

is available when the extended instruction set is

enabled (XINST Configuration bit = 1). Its operation is

discussed in greater detail in Section 5.6.1 “Indexed

Addressing with Literal Offset”.

5.4.1 INHERENT AND LITERAL

ADDRESSING

Many PIC18 control instructions do not need any

argument at all; they either perform an operation that

globally affects the device, or they operate implicitly on

one register. This addressing mode is known as

Inherent Addressing. Examples include SLEEP, RESET

and DAW.

Other instructions work in a similar way, but require an

additional explicit argument in the opcode. This is

known as Literal Addressing mode, because they

require some literal value as an argument. Examples

include ADDLW and MOVLW, which respectively, add or

move a literal value to the W register. Other examples

include CALL and GOTO, which include a 20-bit

program memory address.

5.4.2 DIRECT ADDRESSING

Direct Addressing specifies all or part of the source

and/or destination address of the operation within the

opcode itself. The options are specified by the

arguments accompanying the instruction.

In the core PIC18 instruction set, bit-oriented and

byte-oriented instructions use some version of Direct

Addressing by default. All of these instructions include

some 8-bit Literal Address as their Least Significant

Byte. This address specifies either a register address in

one of the banks of data RAM (Section 5.3.3 “General

Purpose Register File”), or a location in the Access

Bank (Section 5.3.2 “Access Bank”) as the data

source for the instruction.

The Access RAM bit ‘a’ determines how the address is

interpreted. When ‘a’ is ‘1’, the contents of the BSR

(Section 5.3.1 “Bank Select Register”) are used with

the address to determine the complete 12-bit address

of the register. When ‘a’ is ‘0’, the address is interpreted

as being a register in the Access Bank. Addressing that

uses the Access RAM is sometimes also known as

Direct Forced Addressing mode.

A few instructions, such as MOVFF, include the entire

12-bit address (either source or destination) in their

opcodes. In these cases, the BSR is ignored entirely.

The destination of the operation’s results is determined

by the destination bit ‘d’. When ‘d’ is ‘1’, the results are

stored back in the source register, overwriting its origi-

nal contents. When ‘d’ is ‘0’, the results are stored in

the W register. Instructions without the ‘d’ argument

have a destination that is implicit in the instruction; their

destination is either the target register being operated

on or the W register.

5.4.3 INDIRECT ADDRESSING

Indirect Addressing allows the user to access a location

in data memory without giving a fixed address in the

instruction. This is done by using File Select Registers

(FSRs) as pointers to the locations to be read or written

to. Since the FSRs are themselves located in RAM as

Special Function Registers, they can also be directly

manipulated under program control. This makes FSRs

very useful in implementing data structures such as

tables and arrays in data memory.

The registers for Indirect Addressing are also

implemented with Indirect File Operands (INDFs) that

permit automatic manipulation of the pointer value with

auto-incrementing, auto-decrementing or offsetting

with another value. This allows for efficient code using

loops, such as the example of clearing an entire RAM

bank in Example 5-5. It also enables users to perform

Indexed Addressing and other Stack Pointer

operations for program memory in data memory.

PIC18F87J11 FAMILY

5.4.3.1 FSR Registers and the

INDF Operand

At the core of Indirect Addressing are three sets of

registers: FSR0, FSR1 and FSR2. Each represents a

pair of 8-bit registers, FSRnH and FSRnL. The four

upper bits of the FSRnH register are not used, so each

FSR pair holds a 12-bit value. This represents a value

that can address the entire range of the data memory

in a linear fashion. The FSR register pairs, then, serve

as pointers to data memory locations.

Indirect Addressing is accomplished with a set of Indi-

rect File Operands, INDF0 through INDF2. These can

be thought of as “virtual” registers: they are mapped in

the SFR space but are not physically implemented.

Reading or writing to a particular INDF register actually

accesses its corresponding FSR register pair. A read

from INDF1, for example, reads the data at the address

indicated by FSR1H:FSR1L. Instructions that use the

INDF registers as operands actually use the contents

of their corresponding FSR as a pointer to the instruc-

tion’s target. The INDF operand is just a convenient

way of using the pointer.

Because Indirect Addressing uses a full 12-bit address,

data RAM banking is not necessary. Thus, the current

contents of the BSR and the Access RAM bit have no

effect on determining the target address.

PIC18F87J11 FAMILY

5.4.3.2 FSR Registers and POSTINC,

POSTDEC, PREINC and PLUSW

In addition to the INDF operand, each FSR register pair

also has four additional indirect operands. Like INDF,

these are “virtual” registers that cannot be indirectly

read or written to. Accessing these registers actually

accesses the associated FSR register pair, but also

performs a specific action on its stored value. They are:

• POSTDEC: accesses the FSR value, then

automatically decrements it by ‘1’ afterwards

• POSTINC: accesses the FSR value, then

automatically increments it by ‘1’ afterwards

• PREINC: increments the FSR value by ‘1’, then

uses it in the operation

• PLUSW: adds the signed value of the W register

(range of -127 to 128) to that of the FSR and uses

the new value in the operation

In this context, accessing an INDF register uses the

value in the FSR registers without changing them.

Similarly, accessing a PLUSW register gives the FSR

value offset by the value in the W register; neither value

is actually changed in the operation. Accessing the

other virtual registers changes the value of the FSR

registers.

Operations on the FSRs with POSTDEC, POSTINC

and PREINC affect the entire register pair; that is, roll-

overs of the FSRnL register from FFh to 00h carry over

to the FSRnH register. On the other hand, results of

these operations do not change the value of any flags

in the STATUS register (e.g., Z, N, OV, etc.).

The PLUSW register can be used to implement a form

of Indexed Addressing in the data memory space. By

manipulating the value in the W register, users can

reach addresses that are fixed offsets from pointer

addresses. In some applications, this can be used to

implement some powerful program control structure,

such as software stacks, inside of data memory.

5.4.3.3 Operations by FSRs on FSRs

Indirect Addressing operations that target other FSRs

or virtual registers represent special cases. For exam-

ple, using an FSR to point to one of the virtual registers

will not result in successful operations. As a specific

case, assume that FSR0H:FSR0L contains FE7h, the

address of INDF1. Attempts to read the value of the

INDF1, using INDF0 as an operand, will return 00h.

Attempts to write to INDF1, using INDF0 as the

operand, will result in a NOP.

On the other hand, using the virtual registers to write to

an FSR pair may not occur as planned. In these cases,

the value will be written to the FSR pair but without any

incrementing or decrementing. Thus, writing to INDF2

or POSTDEC2 will write the same value to the

FSR2H:FSR2L.

Since the FSRs are physical registers mapped in the

SFR space, they can be manipulated through all direct

operations. Users should proceed cautiously when

working on these registers, particularly if their code

uses Indirect Addressing.

Similarly, operations by Indirect Addressing are gener-

ally permitted on all other SFRs. Users should exercise

the appropriate caution that they do not inadvertently

change settings that might affect the operation of the

device.

PIC18F87J11 FAMILY

5.5 Program Memory and the

Extended Instruction Set

The operation of program memory is unaffected by the

use of the extended instruction set.

Enabling the extended instruction set adds five

additional two-word commands to the existing PIC18

instruction set: ADDFSR, CALLW, MOVSF, MOVSS and

SUBFSR. These instructions are executed as described

in Section 5.2.4 “Two-Word Instructions”.

5.6 Data Memory and the Extended

Instruction Set

Enabling the PIC18 extended instruction set (XINST

Configuration bit = 1) significantly changes certain

aspects of data memory and its addressing. Specifi-

cally, the use of the Access Bank for many of the core

PIC18 instructions is different. This is due to the intro-

duction of a new addressing mode for the data memory

space. This mode also alters the behavior of Indirect

Addressing using FSR2 and its associated operands.

What does not change is just as important. The size of

the data memory space is unchanged, as well as its

linear addressing. The SFR map remains the same.

Core PIC18 instructions can still operate in both Direct

and Indirect Addressing mode; inherent and literal

instructions do not change at all. Indirect Addressing

with FSR0 and FSR1 also remains unchanged.

5.6.1 INDEXED ADDRESSING WITH

LITERAL OFFSET

Enabling the PIC18 extended instruction set changes

the behavior of Indirect Addressing using the FSR2

proper conditions, instructions that use the Access

Bank – that is, most bit-oriented and byte-oriented

instructions – can invoke a form of Indexed Addressing

using an offset specified in the instruction. This special

addressing mode is known as Indexed Addressing with

Literal Offset, or Indexed Literal Offset mode.

When using the extended instruction set, this

addressing mode requires the following:

• The use of the Access Bank is forced (‘a’ = 0);

and

• The file address argument is less than or equal to

5Fh.

Under these conditions, the file address of the

instruction is not interpreted as the lower byte of an

address (used with the BSR in Direct Addressing) or as

an 8-bit address in the Access Bank. Instead, the value

is interpreted as an offset value to an Address Pointer

specified by FSR2. The offset and the contents of

FSR2 are added to obtain the target address of the

operation.

5.6.2 INSTRUCTIONS AFFECTED BY

INDEXED LITERAL OFFSET MODE

Any of the core PIC18 instructions that can use Direct

Addressing are potentially affected by the Indexed

Literal Offset Addressing mode. This includes all

byte-oriented and bit-oriented instructions, or almost

one-half of the standard PIC18 instruction set. Instruc-

tions that only use Inherent or Literal Addressing

modes are unaffected.

Additionally, byte-oriented and bit-oriented instructions

are not affected if they use the Access Bank (Access

RAM bit is ‘1’) or include a file address of 60h or above.

Instructions meeting these criteria will continue to

execute as before. A comparison of the different pos-

sible addressing modes when the extended instruction

set is enabled is shown in Figure 5-10.

Those who desire to use byte-oriented or bit-oriented

instructions in the Indexed Literal Offset mode should

note the changes to assembler syntax for this mode.

This is described in more detail in Section 25.2.1

“Extended Instruction Syntax”.

BYTE-ORIENTED INSTRUCTIONS (EXTENDED INSTRUCTION SET ENABLED)

EXAMPLE INSTRUCTION: ADDWF, f, d, a (Opcode: 0010 01da ffff ffff)

When a = 0 and f ≥ 60h:

The instruction executes in

Direct Forced mode. ‘f’ is

interpreted as a location in the

Access RAM between 060h

and FFFh. This is the same as

locations F60h to FFFh

(Bank 15) of data memory.

Locations below 060h are not

available in this addressing

mode.

When a = 0 and f ≤ 5Fh:

The instruction executes in

is interpreted as an offset to the

address value in FSR2. The

two are added together to

obtain the address of the target

correct syntax is now:

When a = 1 (all values of f):

Direct Long mode). ‘f’ is

interpreted as a location in

5.6.3 MAPPING THE ACCESS BANK IN

INDEXED LITERAL OFFSET MODE

The use of Indexed Literal Offset Addressing mode

effectively changes how the lower part of Access RAM

(00h to 5Fh) is mapped. Rather than containing just the

contents of the bottom part of Bank 0, this mode maps

the contents from Bank 0 and a user-defined “window”

that can be located anywhere in the data memory

space. The value of FSR2 establishes the lower bound-

ary of the addresses mapped into the window, while the

upper boundary is defined by FSR2 plus 95 (5Fh).

Addresses in the Access RAM above 5Fh are mapped

as previously described (see Section 5.3.2 “Access

Bank”). An example of Access Bank remapping in this

addressing mode is shown in Figure 5-11.

Remapping of the Access Bank applies only to opera-

tions using the Indexed Literal Offset mode. Operations

that use the BSR (Access RAM bit is ‘1’) will continue

to use Direct Addressing as before. Any Indirect or

Indexed Addressing operation that explicitly uses any

of the indirect file operands (including FSR2) will con-

tinue to operate as standard Indirect Addressing. Any

instruction that uses the Access Bank, but includes a

Addressing and the normal Access Bank map.

5.6.4 BSR IN INDEXED LITERAL

OFFSET MODE

Although the Access Bank is remapped when the

extended instruction set is enabled, the operation of the

BSR remains unchanged. Direct Addressing, using the

BSR to select the data memory bank, operates in the

same manner as previously described.

6.0 FLASH PROGRAM MEMORY

The Flash program memory is readable, writable and

erasable during normal operation over the entire VDD

range.

A read from program memory is executed on one byte

at a time. A write to program memory is executed on

blocks of 64 bytes at a time or two bytes at a time. Pro-

gram memory is erased in blocks of 1024 bytes at a

time. A bulk erase operation may not be issued from

user code.

Writing or erasing program memory will cease

instruction fetches until the operation is complete. The

program memory cannot be accessed during the write

or erase, therefore, code cannot execute. An internal

programming timer terminates program memory writes

and erases.

A value written to program memory does not need to be

a valid instruction. Executing a program memory

location that forms an invalid instruction results in a

NOP.

6.1 Table Reads and Table Writes

In order to read and write program memory, there are

two operations that allow the processor to move bytes

between the program memory space and the data RAM:

• Table Read (TBLRD)

• Table Write (TBLWT)

The program memory space is 16 bits wide, while the

data RAM space is 8 bits wide. Table reads and table

writes move data between these two memory spaces

through an 8-bit register (TABLAT).

Table read operations retrieve data from program

memory and place it into the data RAM space.

Figure 6-1 shows the operation of a table read with

program memory and data RAM.

Table write operations store data from the data memory

space into holding registers in program memory. The

procedure to write the contents of the holding registers

into program memory is detailed in Section 6.5 “Writing

to Flash Program Memory”. Figure 6-2 shows the

operation of a table write with program memory and data

RAM.

Table operations work with byte entities. A table block

containing data, rather than program instructions, is not

required to be word-aligned. Therefore, a table block can

start and end at any byte address. If a table write is being

used to write executable code into program memory,

program instructions will need to be word-aligned.

6.2 Control Registers

Several control registers are used in conjunction with

the TBLRD and TBLWT instructions. These include the:

• EECON1 register

• EECON2 register

• TABLAT register

• TBLPTR registers

6.2.1 EECON1 AND EECON2 REGISTERS

The EECON1 register (Register 6-1) is the control

not a physical register; it is used exclusively in the

memory write and erase sequences. Reading

EECON2 will read all ‘0’s.

The WPROG bit, when set, allows the user to program

a single word (two bytes) upon the execution of the WR

command. If this bit is cleared, the WR command

programs a block of 64 bytes.

The FREE bit, when set, will allow a program memory

erase operation. When FREE is set, the erase

operation is initiated on the next WR command. When

FREE is clear, only writes are enabled.

The WREN bit, when set, will allow a write operation.

On power-up, the WREN bit is clear. The WRERR bit is

set in hardware when the WR bit is set and cleared

when the internal programming timer expires and the

write operation is complete.

The WR control bit initiates write operations. The bit

cannot be cleared, only set, in software. It is cleared in

hardware at the completion of the write operation.

PIC18F87J11 FAMILY

6.2.2 TABLE LATCH REGISTER (TABLAT)

The Table Latch (TABLAT) is an 8-bit register mapped

into the SFR space. The Table Latch register is used to

hold 8-bit data during data transfers between program

memory and data RAM.

6.2.3 TABLE POINTER REGISTER

(TBLPTR)

The Table Pointer (TBLPTR) register addresses a byte

within the program memory. The TBLPTR is comprised

of three SFR registers: Table Pointer Upper Byte, Table

Pointer High Byte and Table Pointer Low Byte

(TBLPTRU:TBLPTRH:TBLPTRL). These three regis-

ters join to form a 22-bit wide pointer. The low-order

21 bits allow the device to address up to 2 Mbytes of

program memory space. The 22nd bit allows access to

the device ID, the user ID and the Configuration bits.

The Table Pointer register, TBLPTR, is used by the

TBLRD and TBLWT instructions. These instructions can

update the TBLPTR in one of four ways based on the

table operation. These operations are shown in

Table 6-1. These operations on the TBLPTR only affect

the low-order 21 bits.

6.2.4 TABLE POINTER BOUNDARIES

TBLPTR is used in reads, writes and erases of the

Flash program memory.

When a TBLRD is executed, all 22 bits of the TBLPTR

determine which byte is read from program memory

into TABLAT.

When a TBLWT is executed, the seven LSbs of the

Table Pointer register (TBLPTR<6:0>) determine which

of the 64 program memory holding registers is written

to. When the timed write to program memory begins

(via the WR bit), the 12 MSbs of the TBLPTR

(TBLPTR<21:10>) determine which program memory

block of 1024 bytes is written to. For more detail, see

Section 6.5 “Writing to Flash Program Memory”.

When an erase of program memory is executed, the

12 MSbs of the Table Pointer register point to the

1024-byte block that will be erased. The Least

Significant bits are ignored.

Figure 6-3 describes the relevant boundaries of

TBLPTR based on Flash program memory operations.

6.3 Reading the Flash Program

Memory

The TBLRD instruction is used to retrieve data from

program memory and places it into data RAM. Table

reads from program memory are performed one byte at

a time.

TBLPTR points to a byte address in program space.

Executing TBLRD places the byte pointed to into

TABLAT. In addition, TBLPTR can be modified

automatically for the next table read operation.

The internal program memory is typically organized by

words. The Least Significant bit of the address selects

between the high and low bytes of the word. Figure 6-4

shows the interface between the internal program

memory and the TABLAT.

6.4 Erasing Flash Program Memory

The minimum erase block is 512 words or 1024 bytes.

Only through the use of an external programmer, or

through ICSP control, can larger blocks of program

memory be bulk erased. Word erase in the Flash array

is not supported.

When initiating an erase sequence from the micro-

controller itself, a block of 1024 bytes of program

memory is erased. The Most Significant 12 bits of the

TBLPTR<21:10> point to the block being erased.

TBLPTR<9:0> are ignored.

The EECON1 register commands the erase operation.

The WREN bit must be set to enable write operations.

The FREE bit is set to select an erase operation. For

protection, the write initiate sequence for EECON2

must be used.

A long write is necessary for erasing the internal Flash.

Instruction execution is halted while in a long write

cycle. The long write will be terminated by the internal

programming timer.

6.4.1 FLASH PROGRAM MEMORY

ERASE SEQUENCE

The sequence of events for erasing a block of internal

program memory location is:

1. Load Table Pointer register with address of row

being erased.

2. Set the WREN and FREE bits (EECON1<2,4>)

to enable the erase operation.

3. Disable interrupts.

4. Write 55h to EECON2.

5. Write 0AAh to EECON2.

6. Set the WR bit. This will begin the row erase

cycle.

7. The CPU will stall for duration of the erase for

TIW (see parameter D133A).

8. Re-enable interrupts.

PIC18F87J11 FAMILY

6.5 Writing to Flash Program Memory

The programming block is 32 words or 64 bytes.

Programming one word or two bytes at a time is also

supported.

Table writes are used internally to load the holding

registers needed to program the Flash memory. There

are 64 holding registers used by the table writes for

programming.

Since the Table Latch (TABLAT) is only a single byte, the

TBLWT instruction may need to be executed 64 times for

each programming operation (if WPROG = 0). All of the

table write operations will essentially be short writes

because only the holding registers are written. At the

end of updating the 64 holding registers, the EECON1

programming operation with a long write.

The long write is necessary for programming the inter-

nal Flash. Instruction execution is halted while in a long

write cycle. The long write will be terminated by the

internal programming timer.

The on-chip timer controls the write time. The

write/erase voltages are generated by an on-chip

charge pump, rated to operate over the voltage range

of the device.

The sequence of events for programming an internal

program memory location should be:

1. Read 1024 bytes into RAM.

2. Update data values in RAM as necessary.

3. Load Table Pointer register with address being

erased.

4. Execute the row erase procedure.

5. Load Table Pointer register with address of first

byte being written, minus 1.

6. Write the 64 bytes into the holding registers with

auto-increment.

7. Set the WREN bit (EECON1<2>) to enable byte

writes.

8. Disable interrupts.

9. Write 55h to EECON2.

10. Write 0AAh to EECON2.

11. Set the WR bit. This will begin the write cycle.

12. The CPU will stall for duration of the write for TIW

(parameter D133A).

13. Re-enable interrupts.

14. Repeat steps 6 through 13 until all 1024 bytes

are written to program memory.

15. Verify the memory (table read).

An example of the required code is shown in

Example 6-3 on the following page.

Note 1: Unlike previous PIC18 Flash devices,

members of the PIC18F87J11 family do

not reset the holding registers after a

write occurs. The holding registers must

be cleared or overwritten before a

programming sequence.

2: To maintain the endurance of the program

memory cells, each Flash byte should not

be programmed more than one time

between erase operations. Before

attempting to modify the contents of the

target cell a second time, a row erase of

the target row, or a bulk erase of the entire

memory, must be performed.

6.5.2 FLASH PROGRAM MEMORY WRITE

SEQUENCE (WORD

PROGRAMMING).

The PIC18F87J11 Family of devices have a feature

that allows programming a single word (two bytes).

This feature is enable when the WPROG bit is set. If the

memory location is already erased, the following

sequence is required to enable this feature:

1. Load the Table Pointer register with the address

of the data to be written

2. Write the 2 bytes into the holding registers and

perform a table write

3. Set the WREN bit (EECON1<2>) to enable byte

writes.

4. Disable interrupts.

5. Write 55h to EECON2.

6. Write 0AAh to EECON2.

7. Set the WR bit. This will begin the write cycle.

8. The CPU will stall for duration of the write for TIW

(see parameter D133A).

9. Re-enable interrupts.

6.5.3 WRITE VERIFY

Depending on the application, good programming

practice may dictate that the value written to the

memory should be verified against the original value.

This should be used in applications where excessive

writes can stress bits near the specification limit.

6.5.4 UNEXPECTED TERMINATION OF

WRITE OPERATION

If a write is terminated by an unplanned event, such as

loss of power or an unexpected Reset, the memory

location just programmed should be verified and repro-

grammed if needed. If the write operation is interrupted

by a MCLR Reset or a WDT time-out Reset during

normal operation, the user can check the WRERR bit

and rewrite the location(s) as needed.

7.0 EXTERNAL MEMORY BUS

The External Memory Bus (EMB) allows the device to

access external memory devices (such as Flash,

EPROM, SRAM, etc.) as program or data memory. It

supports both 8 and 16-Bit Data Width modes and

three address widths of up to 20 bits.

The bus is implemented with 28 pins, multiplexed

across four I/O ports. Three ports (PORTD, PORTE

and PORTH) are multiplexed with the address/data bus

for a total of 20 available lines, while PORTJ is

multiplexed with the bus control signals.

A list of the pins and their functions is provided in

Table 7-1.

implemented on 64-pin devices.

PIC18F87J11 FAMILY

7.1 External Memory Bus Control

The operation of the interface is controlled by the

MEMCON register (Register 7-1). This register is

available in all program memory operating modes

except Microcontroller mode. In this mode, the register

is disabled and cannot be written to.

The EBDIS bit (MEMCON<7>) controls the operation

of the bus and related port functions. Clearing EBDIS

enables the interface and disables the I/O functions of

the ports, as well as any other functions multiplexed to

those pins. Setting the bit enables the I/O ports and

other functions, but allows the interface to override

everything else on the pins when an external memory

operation is required. By default, the external bus is

always enabled and disables all other I/O.

The operation of the EBDIS bit is also influenced by the

program memory mode being used. This is discussed

in more detail in Section 7.5 “Program Memory

Modes and the External Memory Bus”.

The WAIT bits allow for the addition of wait states to

external memory operations. The use of these bits is

discussed in Section 7.3 “Wait States”.

The WM bits select the particular operating mode used

when the bus is operating in 16-Bit Data Width mode.

These are discussed in more detail in Section 7.6

“16-Bit Data Width Modes”. These bits have no effect

when an 8-bit Data Width mode is selected.

The MEMCON register (see Register 7-1) shares the

same memory space as the PR2 register and can be

alternately selected based on the designation of the

ADSHR bit in the WDTCON register (see

PIC18F87J11 FAMILY

7.2 Address and Data Width

The PIC18F87J11 Family of devices can be indepen-

dently configured for different address and data widths

on the same memory bus. Both address and data width

are set by Configuration bits in the CONFIG3L register.

As Configuration bits, this means that these options

can only be configured by programming the device and

are not controllable in software.

The BW bit selects an 8-bit or 16-bit data bus width.

Setting this bit (default) selects a data width of 16 bits.

The EMB1:EMB0 bits determine both the program

memory operating mode and the address bus width.

The available options are 20-bit, 16-bit and 12-bit, as

well as Microcontroller mode (external bus disabled).

Selecting a 16-bit or 12-bit width makes a correspond-

ing number of high-order lines available for I/O

functions. These pins are no longer affected by the

setting of the EBDIS bit. For example, selecting a

16-Bit Addressing mode (EMB1:EMB0 = 01) disables

A19:A16 and allows PORTH<3:0> to function without

interruptions from the bus. Using the smaller address

widths allows users to tailor the memory bus to the size

of the external memory space for a particular design

while freeing up pins for dedicated I/O operation.

Because the EMB bits have the effect of disabling pins

for memory bus operations, it is important to always

select an address width at least equal to the data width.

If a 12-bit address width is used with a 16-bit data

width, the upper four bits of data will not be available on

the bus.

All combinations of address and data widths require

multiplexing of address and data information on the

same lines. The address and data multiplexing, as well

as I/O ports made available by the use of smaller

address widths, are summarized in Table 7-2.

7.2.1 ADDRESS SHIFTING ON THE

EXTERNAL BUS

By default, the address presented on the external bus

is the value of the PC. In practical terms, this means

that addresses in the external memory device below

the top of on-chip memory are unavailable to the micro-

controller. To access these physical locations, the glue

logic between the microcontroller and the external

memory must somehow translate addresses.

To simplify the interface, the external bus offers an

extension of Extended Microcontroller mode that

automatically performs address shifting. This feature is

controlled by the EASHFT Configuration bit. Setting

this bit offsets addresses on the bus by the size of the

microcontroller’s on-chip program memory and sets

the bottom address at 0000h. This allows the device to

use the entire range of physical addresses of the

external memory.

7.2.2 21-BIT ADDRESSING

As an extension of 20-bit address width operation, the

external memory bus can also fully address a 2-Mbyte

memory space. This is done by using the Bus Address

bit 0 (BA0) control line as the Least Significant bit of the

address. The UB and LB control signals may also be

used with certain memory devices to select the upper

and lower bytes within a 16-bit wide data word.

This addressing mode is available in both 8-bit and

certain 16-Bit Data Width modes. Additional details are

provided in Section 7.6.3 “16-Bit Byte Select Mode”

and Section 7.7 “8-Bit Data Width Mode”.

7.3 Wait States

While it may be assumed that external memory devices

will operate at the microcontroller clock rate, this is

often not the case. In fact, many devices require longer

times to write or retrieve data than the time allowed by

the execution of table read or table write operations.

To compensate for this, the external memory bus can

be configured to add a fixed delay to each table opera-

tion using the bus. Wait states are enabled by setting

the WAIT Configuration bit. When enabled, the amount

of delay is set by the WAIT1:WAIT0 bits

(MEMCON<5:4>). The delay is based on multiples of

microcontroller instruction cycle time and are added

following the instruction cycle when the table operation

is executed. The range is from no delay to 3 TCY

(default value).

7.4 Port Pin Weak Pull-ups

With the exception of the upper address lines,

A19:A16, the pins associated with the external memory

bus are equipped with weak pull-ups. The pull-ups are

controlled by the upper three bits of the PORTG

REPU and RJPU and control pull-ups on PORTD,

PORTE and PORTJ, respectively. Setting one of these

bits enables the corresponding pull-ups for that port. All

pull-ups are disabled by default on all device Resets.

In Extended Microcontroller mode, the port pull-ups

can be useful in preserving the memory state on the

external bus while the bus is temporarily disabled

(EBDIS = ‘1’).

7.5 Program Memory Modes and the

External Memory Bus

The PIC18F87J11 Family of devices is capable of

operating in one of two program memory modes, using

combinations of on-chip and external program memory.

The functions of the multiplexed port pins depend on

the program memory mode selected, as well as the

setting of the EBDIS bit.

In Microcontroller Mode, the bus is not active and the

pins have their port functions only. Writes to the

MEMCOM register are not permitted. The Reset value

of EBDIS (‘0’) is ignored and EMB pins behave as I/O

ports.

In Extended Microcontroller Mode, the external

program memory bus shares I/O port functions on the

pins. When the device is fetching or doing table

read/table write operations on the external program

memory space, the pins will have the external bus

function.

If the device is fetching and accessing internal program

memory locations only, the EBDIS control bit will

change the pins from external memory to I/O port

functions. When EBDIS = 0, the pins function as the

external bus. When EBDIS = 1, the pins function as I/O

ports.

If the device fetches or accesses external memory

while EBDIS = 1, the pins will switch to external bus. If

the EBDIS bit is set by a program executing from exter-

nal memory, the action of setting the bit will be delayed

until the program branches into the internal memory. At

that time, the pins will change from external bus to I/O

ports.

If the device is executing out of internal memory when

EBDIS = 0, the memory bus address/data and control

pins will not be active. They will go to a state where the

active address/data pins are tri-state; the CE, OE,

WRH, WRL, UB and LB signals are ‘1’ and ALE and

BA0 are ‘0’. Note that only those pins associated with

the current address width are forced to tri-state; the

other pins continue to function as I/O. In the case of

16-bit address width, for example, only AD<15:0>

(PORTD and PORTE) are affected; A19:A16

(PORTH<3:0>) continue to function as I/O.

In all external memory modes, the bus takes priority

over any other peripherals that may share pins with it.

This includes the Parallel Master Port and serial

communication modules which would otherwise take

priority over the I/O port.

7.6 16-Bit Data Width Modes

In 16-Bit Data Width mode, the external memory

interface can be connected to external memories in

three different configurations:

• 16-Bit Byte Write

• 16-Bit Word Write

• 16-Bit Byte Select

The configuration to be used is determined by the

WM1:WM0 bits in the MEMCON register

(MEMCON<1:0>). These three different configurations

allow the designer maximum flexibility in using both

8-bit and 16-bit devices with 16-bit data.

For all 16-bit modes, the Address Latch Enable (ALE)

pin indicates that the address bits, AD<15:0>, are avail-

able on the external memory interface bus. Following

the address latch, the Output Enable signal (OE) will

enable both bytes of program memory at once to form

a 16-bit instruction word. The Chip Enable signal (CE)

is active at any time that the microcontroller accesses

external memory, whether reading or writing; it is

inactive (asserted high) whenever the device is in

Sleep mode.

In Byte Select mode, JEDEC standard Flash memories

will require BA0 for the byte address line and one I/O

line to select between Byte and Word mode. The other

16-bit modes do not need BA0. JEDEC standard static

RAM memories will use the UB or LB signals for byte

selection.

PIC18F87J11 FAMILY

7.6.1 16-BIT BYTE WRITE MODE

Figure 7-1 shows an example of 16-Bit Byte Write

mode for PIC18F87J11 Family devices. This mode is

used for two separate 8-bit memories connected for

16-bit operation. This generally includes basic EPROM

and Flash devices. It allows table writes to byte-wide

external memories.

During a TBLWT instruction cycle, the TABLAT data is

presented on the upper and lower bytes of the

AD15:AD0 bus. The appropriate WRH or WRL control

line is strobed on the LSb of the TBLPTR.

7.6.2 16-BIT WORD WRITE MODE

Figure 7-2 shows an example of 16-Bit Word Write

mode for PIC18F87J11 Family devices. This mode is

used for word-wide memories which include some of

the EPROM and Flash-type memories. This mode

allows opcode fetches and table reads from all forms of

16-bit memory and table writes to any type of

word-wide external memories. This method makes a

distinction between TBLWT cycles to even or odd

addresses.

During a TBLWT cycle to an even address

(TBLPTR<0> = 0), the TABLAT data is transferred to a

holding latch and the external address data bus is

tri-stated for the data portion of the bus cycle. No write

signals are activated.

During a TBLWT cycle to an odd address

(TBLPTR<0> = 1), the TABLAT data is presented on

the upper byte of the AD15:AD0 bus. The contents of

the holding latch are presented on the lower byte of the

AD15:AD0 bus.

The WRH signal is strobed for each write cycle; the

WRL pin is unused. The signal on the BA0 pin indicates

the LSb of the TBLPTR, but it is left unconnected.

Instead, the UB and LB signals are active to select both

bytes. The obvious limitation to this method is that the

table write must be done in pairs on a specific word

boundary to correctly write a word location.

7.6.3 16-BIT BYTE SELECT MODE

Figure 7-3 shows an example of 16-Bit Byte Select

mode. This mode allows table write operations to

word-wide external memories with byte selection

capability. This generally includes both word-wide

Flash and SRAM devices.

During a TBLWT cycle, the TABLAT data is presented

on the upper and lower byte of the AD15:AD0 bus. The

WRH signal is strobed for each write cycle; the WRL

pin is not used. The BA0 or UB/LB signals are used to

select the byte to be written, based on the Least

Significant bit of the TBLPTR register.

Flash and SRAM devices use different control signal

combinations to implement Byte Select mode. JEDEC

standard Flash memories require that a controller I/O

port pin be connected to the memory’s BYTE/WORD

pin to provide the select signal. They also use the BA0

signal from the controller as a byte address. JEDEC

standard static RAM memories, on the other hand, use

the UB or LB signals to select the byte.

7.7 8-Bit Data Width Mode

In 8-Bit Data Width mode, the external memory bus

operates only in Multiplexed mode; that is, data shares

the 8 Least Significant bits of the address bus.

Figure 7-6 shows an example of 8-Bit Multiplexed

mode for 80-pin devices. This mode is used for a single

8-bit memory connected for 16-bit operation. The

instructions will be fetched as two 8-bit bytes on a

shared data/address bus. The two bytes are sequen-

tially fetched within one instruction cycle (TCY).

Therefore, the designer must choose external memory

devices according to timing calculations based on

1/2 TCY (2 times the instruction rate). For proper mem-

ory speed selection, glue logic propagation delay times

must be considered, along with setup and hold times.

The Address Latch Enable (ALE) pin indicates that the

address bits, AD<15:0>, are available on the external

memory interface bus. The Output Enable signal (OE)

will enable one byte of program memory for a portion of

the instruction cycle, then BA0 will change and the

second byte will be enabled to form the 16-bit instruc-

tion word. The Least Significant bit of the address, BA0,

must be connected to the memory devices in this

mode. The Chip Enable signal (CE) is active at any

time that the microcontroller accesses external

memory, whether reading or writing. It is inactive

(asserted high) whenever the device is in Sleep mode.

This generally includes basic EPROM and Flash

devices. It allows table writes to byte-wide external

memories.

During a TBLWT instruction cycle, the TABLAT data is

presented on the upper and lower bytes of the

AD15:AD0 bus. The appropriate level of the BA0

control line is strobed on the LSb of the TBLPTR.

7.8 Operation in Power-Managed

Modes

In alternate, power-managed Run modes, the external

bus continues to operate normally. If a clock source

with a lower speed is selected, bus operations will run

at that speed. In these cases, excessive access times

for the external memory may result if wait states have

been enabled and added to external memory opera-

tions. If operations in a lower power Run mode are

anticipated, users should provide in their applications

for adjusting memory access times at the lower clock

speeds.

In Sleep and Idle modes, the microcontroller core does

not need to access data; bus operations are

suspended. The state of the external bus is frozen, with

the address/data pins and most of the control pins hold-

ing at the same state they were in when the mode was

invoked. The only potential changes are the CE, LB

and UB pins, which are held at logic high.

8.0 8 x 8 HARDWARE MULTIPLIER

8.1 Introduction

All PIC18 devices include an 8 x 8 hardware multiplier

as part of the ALU. The multiplier performs an unsigned

operation and yields a 16-bit result that is stored in the

product register pair, PRODH:PRODL. The multiplier’s

operation does not affect any flags in the STATUS

Making multiplication a hardware operation allows it to

be completed in a single instruction cycle. This has the

advantages of higher computational throughput and

reduced code size for multiplication algorithms and

allows the PIC18 devices to be used in many applica-

tions previously reserved for digital signal processors.

A comparison of various hardware and software

multiply operations, along with the savings in memory

and execution time, is shown in Table 8-1.

8.2 Operation

Example 8-1 shows the instruction sequence for an 8 x 8

unsigned multiplication. Only one instruction is required

when one of the arguments is already loaded in the

WREG register.

Example 8-2 shows the sequence to do an 8 x 8 signed

multiplication. To account for the sign bits of the argu-

ments, each argument’s Most Significant bit (MSb) is

tested and the appropriate subtractions are done.

9.0 INTERRUPTS

Members of the PIC18F87J11 Family of devices have

multiple interrupt sources and an interrupt priority fea-

ture that allows most interrupt sources to be assigned

a high-priority level or a low-priority level. The

high-priority interrupt vector is at 0008h and the

low-priority interrupt vector is at 0018h. High-priority

interrupt events will interrupt any low-priority interrupts

that may be in progress.

There are thirteen registers which are used to control

interrupt operation. These registers are:

• RCON

•INTCON

• INTCON2

• INTCON3

• PIR1, PIR2, PIR3

• PIE1, PIE2, PIE3

• IPR1, IPR2, IPR3

It is recommended that the Microchip header files

supplied with MPLAB® IDE be used for the symbolic bit

names in these registers. This allows the

assembler/compiler to automatically take care of the

placement of these bits within the specified register.

In general, interrupt sources have three bits to control

their operation. They are:

•Flag bit to indicate that an interrupt event

occurred

•Enable bit that allows program execution to

branch to the interrupt vector address when the

flag bit is set

•Priority bit to select high-priority or low-priority

The interrupt priority feature is enabled by setting the

IPEN bit (RCON<7>). When interrupt priority is

enabled, there are two bits which enable interrupts

globally. Setting the GIEH bit (INTCON<7>) enables all

interrupts that have the priority bit set (high priority).

Setting the GIEL bit (INTCON<6>) enables all

interrupts that have the priority bit cleared (low priority).

When the interrupt flag, enable bit and appropriate

global interrupt enable bit are set, the interrupt will

vector immediately to address 0008h or 0018h,

depending on the priority bit setting. Individual

interrupts can be disabled through their corresponding

enable bits.

When the IPEN bit is cleared (default state), the

interrupt priority feature is disabled and interrupts are

compatible with PIC16 mid-range devices. In

Compatibility mode, the interrupt priority bits for each

source have no effect. INTCON<6> is the PEIE bit

which enables/disables all peripheral interrupt sources.

INTCON<7> is the GIE bit which enables/disables all

interrupt sources. All interrupts branch to address

0008h in Compatibility mode.

When an interrupt is responded to, the global interrupt

enable bit is cleared to disable further interrupts. If the

IPEN bit is cleared, this is the GIE bit. If interrupt priority

levels are used, this will be either the GIEH or GIEL bit.

High-priority interrupt sources can interrupt a

low-priority interrupt. Low-priority interrupts are not

processed while high-priority interrupts are in progress.

The return address is pushed onto the stack and the

PC is loaded with the interrupt vector address (0008h

or 0018h). Once in the Interrupt Service Routine, the

source(s) of the interrupt can be determined by polling

the interrupt flag bits. The interrupt flag bits must be

cleared in software before re-enabling interrupts to

avoid recursive interrupts.

The “return from interrupt” instruction, RETFIE, exits

the interrupt routine and sets the GIE bit (GIEH or GIEL

if priority levels are used) which re-enables interrupts.

For external interrupt events, such as the INTx pins or

the PORTB input change interrupt, the interrupt latency

will be three to four instruction cycles. The exact

latency is the same for one or two-cycle instructions.

Individual interrupt flag bits are set regardless of the

status of their corresponding enable bit or the GIE bit.

Note: Do not use the MOVFF instruction to modify

any of the interrupt control registers while

any interrupt is enabled. Doing so may

cause erratic microcontroller behavior.

9.1 INTCON Registers

The INTCON registers are readable and writable

registers which contain various enable, priority and flag

bits.

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. User software should

ensure the appropriate interrupt flag bits

are clear prior to enabling an interrupt.

This feature allows for software polling.

The PIE registers contain the individual enable bits for

the peripheral interrupts. Due to the number of

peripheral interrupt sources, there are three Peripheral

Interrupt Enable registers (PIE1, PIE2, PIE3). When

IPEN = 0, the PEIE bit must be set to enable any of

these peripheral interrupts.

9.6 INTx Pin Interrupts

External interrupts on the RB0/INT0, RB1/INT1,

RB2/INT2 and RB3/INT3 pins are edge-triggered. If the

corresponding INTEDGx bit in the INTCON2 register is

set (= 1), the interrupt is triggered by a rising edge; if

the bit is clear, the trigger is on the falling edge. When

a valid edge appears on the RBx/INTx pin, the

corresponding flag bit, INTxIF, is set. This interrupt can

be disabled by clearing the corresponding enable bit,

INTxIE. Flag bit, INTxIF, must be cleared in software in

the Interrupt Service Routine before re-enabling the

interrupt.

All external interrupts (INT0, INT1, INT2 and INT3) can

wake-up the processor from the power-managed

modes if bit INTxIE was set prior to going into the

power-managed modes. If the Global Interrupt Enable

bit, GIE, is set, the processor will branch to the interrupt

vector following wake-up.

Interrupt priority for INT1, INT2 and INT3 is determined

by the value contained in the interrupt priority bits,

INT1IP (INTCON3<6>), INT2IP (INTCON3<7>) and

INT3IP (INTCON2<1>). There is no priority bit

associated with INT0. It is always a high-priority

interrupt source.

9.7 TMR0 Interrupt

In 8-bit mode (which is the default), an overflow in the

TMR0 register (FFh →00h) will set flag bit, TMR0IF. In

16-bit mode, an overflow in the TMR0H:TMR0L register

pair (FFFFh →0000h) will set TMR0IF. The interrupt

can be enabled/disabled by setting/clearing enable bit,

TMR0IE (INTCON<5>). Interrupt priority for Timer0 is

determined by the value contained in the interrupt prior-

ity bit, TMR0IP (INTCON2<2>). See Section 12.0

“Timer0 Module” for further details on the Timer0

module.

9.8 PORTB Interrupt-on-Change

An input change on PORTB<7:4> sets flag bit, RBIF

(INTCON<0>). The interrupt can be enabled/disabled

by setting/clearing enable bit, RBIE (INTCON<3>).

Interrupt priority for PORTB interrupt-on-change is

determined by the value contained in the interrupt

priority bit, RBIP (INTCON2<0>).

9.9 Context Saving During Interrupts

During interrupts, the return PC address is saved on

the stack. Additionally, the WREG, STATUS and BSR

registers are saved on the Fast Return Stack. If a fast

return from interrupt is not used (see Section 5.3

“Data Memory Organization”), the user may need to

save the WREG, STATUS and BSR registers on entry

to the Interrupt Service Routine. Depending on the

user’s application, other registers may also need to be

saved. Example 9-1 saves and restores the WREG,

STATUS and BSR registers during an Interrupt Service

Routine.

PIC18F87J11 FAMILY

10.0 I/O PORTS

Depending on the device selected and features

enabled, there are up to nine ports available. Some

pins of the I/O ports are multiplexed with an alternate

function from the peripheral features on the device. In

general, when a peripheral is enabled, that pin may not

be used as a general purpose I/O pin.

Each port has three memory-mapped registers for its

operation:

• TRIS register (Data Direction register)

• PORT register (reads the levels on the pins of the

device)

• LAT register (Output Latch register)

Reading the PORT register reads the current status of

the pins, whereas writing to the PORT register writes to

the Output Latch (LAT) register.

Setting a TRIS bit (= 1) makes the corresponding

PORT pin an input (i.e., puts the corresponding output

driver in a high-impedance mode). Clearing a TRIS bit

(= 0) makes the corresponding PORT pin an output

(i.e., puts the contents of the corresponding LAT bit on

the selected pin).

The Output Latch (LAT register) is useful for

read-modify-write operations on the value that the I/O

pins are driving. Read-modify-write operations on the

LAT register read and write the latched output value for

the PORT register.

A simplified model of a generic I/O port, without the

interfaces to other peripherals, is shown in Figure 10-1.

FIGURE 10-1: GENERIC I/O PORT

OPERATION

10.1 I/O Port Pin Capabilities

When developing an application, the capabilities of the

port pins must be considered. Outputs on some pins

have higher output drive strength than others. Similarly,

some pins can tolerate higher than VDD input levels.

10.1.1 INPUT PINS AND VOLTAGE

CONSIDERATIONS

The voltage tolerance of pins used as device inputs is

dependent on the pin’s input function. Pins that are

used as digital only inputs are able to handle DC

voltages up to 5.5V, a level typical for digital logic

circuits. In contrast, pins that also have analog input

functions of any kind (such as A/D and comparator

inputs) can only tolerate voltages up to VDD. Voltage

excursions beyond VDD on these pins should be

avoided.

Table 10-1 summarizes the input capabilities. Refer to

Section 27.0 “Electrical Characteristics” for more

details.

TABLE 10-1: INPUT VOLTAGE LEVELS

10.1.2 PIN OUTPUT DRIVE

When used as digital I/O, the output pin drive strengths

vary for groups of pins intended to meet the needs for

a variety of applications. In general, there are three

classes of output pins in terms of drive capability.

PORTB and PORTC, as well as PORTA<7:6>, are

designed to drive higher current loads, such as LEDs.

PORTD, PORTE and PORTJ are capable of driving

digital circuits associated with external memory

devices; they can also drive LEDs, but only those with

smaller current requirements. PORTF, PORTG and

PORTH, along with PORTA<5:0>, have the lowest

drive level, but are capable of driving normal digital

circuit loads with a high input impedance.

Table 10-2 summarizes the output capabilities of the

ports. Refer to the “Absolute Maximum Ratings” in

Section 27.0 “Electrical Characteristics” for more

details.

TABLE 10-2: OUTPUT DRIVE LEVELS

10.1.3 PULL-UP CONFIGURATION

Four of the I/O ports (PORTB, PORTD, PORTE and

PORTJ) implement configurable weak pull-ups on all

pins. These are internal pull-ups that allow floating

digital input signals to be pulled to a consistent level,

without the use of external resistors.

The pull-ups are enabled with a single bit for each of the

ports: RBPU (INTCON2<7>) for PORTB, and RDPU,

REPU and RJPU (PORTG<7:5>) for the other ports.

10.1.4 OPEN-DRAIN OUTPUTS

The output pins for several peripherals are also

equipped with a configurable, open-drain output option.

This allows the peripherals to communicate with

external digital logic operating at a higher voltage level,

without the use of level translators.

The open-drain option is implemented on port pins spe-

cifically associated with the data and clock outputs of

the EUSARTs, the MSSP modules (in SPI mode) and

the CCP and ECCP modules. It is selectively enabled

by setting the open-drain control bit for the correspond-

ing module in the ODCON registers (Register 10-1,

is discussed in more detail with the individual port

where these peripherals are multiplexed.

The ODCON registers all reside in the SFR configuration

space and share the same SFR addresses as the Timer1

registers (see

Section 5.3.4.1 “Shared Address SFRs”

for more details). The ODCON registers are accessed by

setting the ADSHR bit (WDTCON<4>).

When the open-drain option is required, the output pin

must also be tied through an external pull-up resistor

provided by the user to a higher voltage level, up to 5V

on digital only pins (Figure 10-2). When a digital logic

high signal is output, it is pulled up to the higher voltage

level.

FIGURE 10-2: USING THE OPEN-DRAIN

OUTPUT (EUSARTx

SHOWN AS EXAMPLE)

10.1.5 TTL INPUT BUFFER OPTION

Many of the digital I/O ports use Schmitt Trigger (ST)

input buffers. While this form of buffering works well

with many types of input, some applications may

require TTL-level signals to interface with external logic

devices. This is particularly true with the EMB and the

Parallel Master Port (PMP), which are particularly likely

to be interfaced to TTL-level logic or memory devices.

The inputs for the PMP can be optionally configured for

TTL buffers with the PMPTTL bit in the PADCFG1 reg-

ister (Register 10-4). Setting this bit configures all data

and control input pins for the PMP to use TTL buffers.

By default, these PMP inputs use the port’s ST buffers.

As with the ODCON registers, the PADCFG1 register

resides in the SFR configuration space; it shares the

same memory address as the TMR2 register.

PADCFG1 is accessed by setting the ADSHR bit

(WDTCON<4>).

10.2 PORTA, TRISA and

LATA Registers

PORTA is an 8-bit wide, bidirectional port. It may func-

tion as a 6-bit or 7-bit port, depending on the oscillator

mode selected. The corresponding Data Direction and

Output Latch registers are TRISA and LATA.

The RA4 pin is multiplexed with the Timer0 module

clock input to become the RA4/T0CKI pin; it is also mul-

tiplexed as the Parallel Master Port data pin (in 80-pin

devices). The other PORTA pins are multiplexed with

the analog VREF+ and VREF- inputs. The operation of

pins, RA<5,3:0>, as A/D Converter inputs is selected

by clearing or setting the appropriate PCFG control bits

in the ANCON0 register.

The RA4/T0CKI pin is a Schmitt Trigger input. All other

PORTA pins have TTL input levels and full CMOS

output drivers.

The TRISA register controls the direction of the PORTA

pins, even when they are being used as analog inputs.

The user must ensure the bits in the TRISA register are

maintained set when using them as analog inputs.

OSC2/CLKO/RA6 and OSC1/CLKI/RA7 normally

serve as the external circuit connections for the

external (primary) oscillator circuit (HS and HSPLL

Oscillator modes), or the external clock input (EC and

ECPLL Oscillator modes). In these cases, RA6 and

RA7 are not available as digital I/O, and their

corresponding TRIS and LAT bits are read as ‘0’.

For INTIO and INTPLL Oscillator modes (FOSC2 Con-

figuration bit is ‘0’), either RA7 or both RA6 and RA7

automatically become available as digital I/O, depend-

ing on the oscillator mode selected. When RA6 is not

configured as a digital I/O, in these cases, it provides a

clock output at FOSC/4. A list of the possible configura-

tions for RA6 and RA7, based on oscillator mode, is

provided in Table 10-3. For these pins, the correspond-

ing PORTA, TRISA and LATA bits are only defined

when the pins are configured as I/O.

TABLE 10-5: SUMMARY OF REGISTERS ASSOCIATED WITH PORTA

10.3 PORTB, TRISB and

LATB Registers

PORTB is an 8-bit wide, bidirectional port. The corre-

sponding Data Direction register is TRISB. All pins on

PORTB are digital only and tolerate voltages up to

5.5V.

Each of the PORTB pins has a weak internal pull-up. A

single control bit can turn on all the pull-ups. This is

performed by clearing bit, RBPU (INTCON2<7>). The

weak pull-up is automatically turned off when the port

pin is configured as an output. The pull-ups are

disabled on a Power-on Reset.

Four of the PORTB pins (RB7:RB4) have an

interrupt-on-change feature. Only pins configured as

inputs can cause this interrupt to occur (i.e., any

RB7:RB4 pin configured as an output is excluded from

the interrupt-on-change comparison). The input pins (of

RB7:RB4) are compared with the old value latched on

the last read of PORTB. The “mismatch” outputs of

RB7:RB4 are ORed together to generate the RB Port

Change Interrupt with Flag bit, RBIF (INTCON<0>).

This interrupt can wake the device from

power-managed modes. The user, in the Interrupt

Service Routine, can clear the interrupt in the following

manner:

a) Any read or write of PORTB (except with the

MOVFF (ANY), PORTB instruction). This will

end the mismatch condition.

b) Clear flag bit, RBIF.

A mismatch condition will continue to set flag bit, RBIF.

Reading PORTB will end the mismatch condition and

allow flag bit, RBIF, to be cleared.

The interrupt-on-change feature is recommended for

wake-up on key depression operation and operations

where PORTB is only used for the interrupt-on-change

feature. Polling of PORTB is not recommended while

using the interrupt-on-change feature.

For 80-pin devices, RB3 can be configured as the

alternate peripheral pin for the ECCP2 module and

Enhanced PWM output 2A by clearing the CCP2MX

Configuration bit. This applies only to 80-pin devices

operating in Extended Microcontroller mode. If the

device is in Microcontroller mode, the alternate

assignment for ECCP2 is RE7. As with other ECCP2

configurations, the user must ensure that the TRISB<3>

bit is set appropriately for the intended operation. Ports,

RB1, RB2, RB3, RB4 and RB5, are multiplexed with

the Parallel Master Port address.

TABLE 10-7: SUMMARY OF REGISTERS ASSOCIATED WITH PORTB

10.4 PORTC, TRISC and

LATC Registers

PORTC is an 8-bit wide, bidirectional port. Only

PORTC pins, RC2 through RC7, are digital only pins

and can tolerate input voltages up to 5.5V.

PORTC is multiplexed with ECCP, MSSP and EUSART

peripheral functions (Table 10-8). The pins have

Schmitt Trigger input buffers. The pins for ECCP, SPI

and EUSART are also configurable for open-drain out-

put whenever these functions are active. Open-drain

configuration is selected by setting the SPIxOD,

ECCPxOD, and UxOD control bits in the ODCON reg-

isters (see Section 10.1.3 “Pull-up Configuration”

for more information).

RC1 is normally configured as the default peripheral

pin for the ECCP2 module. Assignment of ECCP2 is

controlled by Configuration bit, CCP2MX (default state,

CCP2MX = 1).

When enabling peripheral functions, care should be

taken in defining TRIS bits for each PORTC pin. Some

peripherals override the TRIS bit to make a pin an output,

while other peripherals override the TRIS bit to make a

pin an input. The user should refer to the corresponding

peripheral section for the correct TRIS bit settings.

The contents of the TRISC register are affected by

peripheral overrides. Reading TRISC always returns

the current contents, even though a peripheral device

may be overriding one or more of the pins.

10.5 PORTD, TRISD and

LATD Registers

PORTD is an 8-bit wide, bidirectional port. All pins on

PORTD are digital only and tolerate voltages up to

5.5V.

All pins on PORTD are implemented with Schmitt

Trigger input buffers. Each pin is individually

configurable as an input or output.

On 80-pin devices, PORTD is multiplexed with the

system bus as part of the external memory interface.

I/O port and other functions are only available when the

interface is disabled by setting the EBDIS bit

(MEMCON<7>). When the interface is enabled,

PORTD is the low-order byte of the multiplexed

address/data bus (AD7:AD0). The TRISD bits are also

overridden.

PORTD is also multiplexed with the data functions of

the Parallel Master Port data. In this mode, Parallel

Master Port takes priority over the other digital I/O (but

not the external memory bus). This multiplexing is

available when PMPMX = 1. When the Parallel Master

Port is active, the input buffers are TTL. For more

information, refer to Section 11.0 “Parallel Master

Port”.

Each of the PORTD pins has a weak internal pull-up.

This is performed by clearing bit RDPU (PORTG<7>).

The weak pull-up is automatically turned off when the

port pin is configured as an output. The pull-ups are

disabled on all device Resets.

10.6 PORTE, TRISE and

LATE Registers

PORTE is an 8-bit wide, bidirectional port. All pins on

PORTE are digital only and tolerate voltages up to

5.5V.

All pins on PORTE are implemented with Schmitt

Trigger input buffers. Each pin is individually

configurable as an input or output.

On 80-pin devices, PORTE is multiplexed with the

system bus as part of the external memory interface.

I/O port and other functions are only available when the

interface is disabled, by setting the EBDIS bit

(MEMCON<7>). When the interface is enabled,

PORTE is the high-order byte of the multiplexed

address/data bus (AD15:AD8). The TRISE bits are also

overridden.

Each of the PORTE pins has a weak internal pull-up. A

single control bit can turn off all the pull-ups. This is

performed by clearing bit REPU (PORTG<6>). The

weak pull-up is automatically turned off when the port

pin is configured as an output. The pull-ups are

disabled on any device Reset.

PORTE is also multiplexed with Enhanced PWM

outputs B and C for ECCP1 and ECCP3 and outputs B,

C and D for ECCP2. For all devices, their default

assignments are on PORTE<6:0>. On 80-pin devices,

the multiplexing for the outputs of ECCP1 and ECCP3

is controlled by the ECCPMX Configuration bit.

Clearing this bit reassigns the P1B/P1C and P3B/P3C

outputs to PORTH.

For devices operating in Microcontroller mode, pin RE7

can be configured as the alternate peripheral pin for the

ECCP2 module and Enhanced PWM output 2A. This is

done by clearing the CCP2MX Configuration bit.

PORTE is also multiplexed with the Parallel Master

Port address lines. When PMPMX = 0, RE1 and RE0

are multiplexed with the control signals PMWR and

PMRD.

RE3 can also be configured as the Reference Clock

Output (REFO) from the system clock. For further

details, refer to Section 2.6 “Reference Clock

Output”.

10.7 PORTF, LATF and TRISF Registers

PORTF is a 7-bit wide, bidirectional port. Only pin 7 of

PORTF has no analog input; it is the only pin that can

tolerate voltages up to 5.5V.

All pins on PORTF are implemented with Schmitt

Trigger input buffers. Each pin is individually

configurable as an input or output.

PORTF is multiplexed with analog peripheral functions.

RF1 through RF6 may also be used as analog input

channels for the A/D Converter. All pins may be used as

comparator inputs or outputs by setting the appropriate

bits in the CMCON register. To use RF<6:3> as digital

inputs, it is also necessary to turn off the comparators.

When Configuration bit, PMPMX = 0, PORTF is

multiplexed with the Parallel Master Port data. This

multiplexing is available only in 80-pin devices.

EXAMPLE 10-6: INITIALIZING PORTF

Note 1: On device Resets, pins RF6:RF1 are

10.8 PORTG, TRISG and

LATG Registers

PORTG is a 5-bit wide, bidirectional port. All pins on

PORTG are digital only and tolerate voltages up to

5.5V.

PORTG is multiplexed with EUSART2 functions

(Table 10-16). PORTG pins have Schmitt Trigger input

buffers. PORTG is also multiplexed with address and

control functions of the Parallel Master Port.

When enabling peripheral functions, care should be

taken in defining TRIS bits for each PORTG pin. Some

peripherals override the TRIS bit to make a pin an

output, while other peripherals override the TRIS bit to

make a pin an input. The user should refer to the

corresponding peripheral section for the correct TRIS

bit settings. The pin override value is not loaded into

the TRIS register. This allows read-modify-write of the

TRIS register without concern due to peripheral

overrides.

Although the port itself is only five bits wide,

PORTG<7:5> bits are still implemented. These are

used to control the weak pull-ups on the I/O ports asso-

ciated with the external memory bus (PORTD, PORTE

and PORTJ). Setting these bits enables the pull-ups.

Since these are control bits and are not associated with

port I/O, the corresponding TRISG and LATG bits are

not implemented.

10.9 PORTH, LATH and

TRISH Registers

PORTH is an 8-bit wide, bidirectional I/O port. PORTH

pins <3:0> are digital only and tolerate voltages up to

5.5V.

All pins on PORTH are implemented with Schmitt

Trigger input buffers. Each pin is individually

configurable as an input or output.

When the external memory interface is enabled, four of

the PORTH pins function as the high-order address

lines for the interface. The address output from the

interface takes priority over other digital I/O. The

corresponding TRISH bits are also overridden. PORTH

pins, RH4 through RH7, are multiplexed with analog

converter inputs. The operation of these pins as analog

inputs is selected by clearing or setting the

corresponding bits in the ANCON1 register. RH2 to

RH6 are multiplexed with the Parallel Master Port and

RH4 to RH6 are multiplexed as comparator inputs.

PORTH can also be configured as the alternate

Enhanced PWM output channels B and C for the

ECCP1 and ECCP3 modules. This is done by clearing

the ECCPMX Configuration bit.

All pins on PORTJ are implemented with Schmitt

Trigger input buffers. Each pin is individually

configurable as an input or output.

When the external memory interface is enabled, all of

the PORTJ pins function as control outputs for the

interface. This occurs automatically when the interface

is enabled by clearing the EBDIS control bit

(MEMCON<7>). The TRISJ bits are also overridden.

Each of the PORTJ pins has a weak internal pull-up. A

single control bit can turn off all the pull-ups. This is

performed by clearing bit RJPU (PORTG<5>). The

weak pull-up is automatically turned off when the port

pin is configured as an output. The pull-ups are

disabled on any device Reset.

11.0 PARALLEL MASTER PORT

The Parallel Master Port module (PMP) is a parallel,

8-bit I/O module, specifically designed to communicate

with a wide variety of parallel devices, such as commu-

nication peripherals, LCDs, external memory devices

and microcontrollers. Because the interface to parallel

peripherals varies significantly, the PMP is highly

configurable. The PMP module can be configured to

serve as either a Parallel Master Port or as a Parallel

Slave Port.

Key features of the PMP module include:

• Up to 16 Programmable Address Lines

• Up to Two Chip Select Lines

• Programmable Strobe Options

- Individual Read and Write Strobes or;

- Read/Write Strobe with Enable Strobe

• Address Auto-Increment/Auto-Decrement

• Programmable Address/Data Multiplexing

• Programmable Polarity on Control Signals

• Legacy Parallel Slave Port Support

• Enhanced Parallel Slave Support

- Address Support

- 4-Byte Deep, Auto-Incrementing Buffer

• Programmable Wait States

PIC18F87J11 FAMILY

11.1.2 DATA REGISTERS

The PMP module uses 6 registers for transferring data

into and out of the microcontroller. They are arranged

as three pairs to allow the option of 16-bit data

operations:

• PMDIN1H and PMDIN1L

• PMDIN2H and PMDIN2L

• PMADDRH/PMDOUT1H and PMADDRL/PMDOUT1L

• PMDOUT2H and PMDOUT2L

The PMDIN1 register is used for incoming data in Slave

modes, and both input and output data in Master

modes. The PMDIN2 register is used for buffering input

data in select Slave modes.

The PMADDRx/PMDOUT1x registers are actually a

single register pair; the name and function is dictated

by the module’s operating mode. In Master modes, the

registers functions as the PMADDRH and PMADDRL

registers, and contain the address of any incoming or

outgoing data. In Slave modes, the registers function

as PMDOUT1H and PMDOUT1L and are used for

outgoing data.

PMADDRH differs from PMADDRL in that it can also

have limited PMP control functions. When the module

is operating in select Master mode configurations, the

upper two bits of the register can be used to determine

the operation of chip select signals. If chip select

signals are not used, PMADDR simply functions to hold

the upper 8 bits of the address. The function of the

individual bits in PMADDRH is shown in Register 11-9.

The PMDOUT2H and PMDOUT2L registers are only

used in buffered Slave modes and serve as a buffer for

outgoing data.

11.1.3 PAD CONFIGURATION CONTROL

In addition to the module level configuration options,

the PMP module can also be configured at the I/O pin

for electrical operation. This option allows users to

select either the normal Schmitt Trigger input buffer on

digital I/O pins shared with the PMP, or use TTL level

compatible buffers instead. Buffer configuration is

controlled by the PMPTTL bit in the PADCFG1 register.

The PADCFG1 register is one of the shared address

SFRs, and has the same address as the TMR2 regis-

ter. PADCFG1 is accessed by setting the ADSHR bit

(WDTCON<4>). Refer to Section 5.3.4.1 “Shared

Address SFRs” for more information.

11.1.4 PMP MULTIPLEXING OPTIONS

(80-PIN DEVICES)

By default, the PMP and the external memory bus

multiplex some of their signals to the same I/O pins on

PORTD and PORTE. It is possible that some applica-

tions may require the PMP signals to be located

elsewhere. For these instances, the 80-pin devices can

be configured to multiplex the PMP to different I/O

ports. PMP configuration is determined by the PMPMX

Configuration bit setting; by default, the PMP and EMB

modules share PORTD and PORTE. The optional pin

configuration is shown in Table 11-1.

TABLE 11-1: PMP PIN MULTIPLEXING FOR

80-PIN DEVICES

11.2 Slave Port Modes

The primary mode of operation for the module is con-

figured using the MODE1:MODE0 bits in the

PMMODEH register. The setting affects whether the

module acts as a slave or a master and it determines

the usage of the control pins.

11.2.1 LEGACY MODE (PSP)

In Legacy mode (PMMODEH<1:0> = 00 and

PMPEN = 1), the module is configured as a Parallel

Slave Port with the associated enabled module pins

dedicated to the module. In this mode, an external

device, such as another microcontroller or micropro-

cessor, can asynchronously read and write data using

the 8-bit data bus (PMD<7:0>), the read (PMRD), write

(PMWR) and chip select (PMCS1) inputs. It acts as a

slave on the bus and responds to the read/write control

signals.

Figure 11-2 shows the connection of the Parallel Slave

Port. When chip select is active and a write strobe

occurs (PMCS = 1 and PMWR = 1), the data from

PMD<7:0> is captured into the PMDIN1L register.

11.2.1.1 WRITE TO SLAVE PORT

When chip select is active and a write strobe occurs

(PMCS = 1 and PMWR = 1), the data from PMD<7:0>

is captured into the PMDIN1L register. The PMPIF and

IBF flag bits are set when the write ends. The timing for

the control signals in Write mode is shown in

Figure 11-3. The polarity of the control signals are

configurable.

11.2.1.2 READ FROM SLAVE PORT

When chip select is active and a read strobe occurs

(PMCS = 1 and PMRD = 1), the data from the

PMDOUTL1 register (PMDOUTL1<7:0>) is presented

onto PMD<7:0>.The timing for the control signals in

Read mode is shown in Figure 11-4.

11.2.2 BUFFERED PARALLEL SLAVE

PORT MODE

Buffered Parallel Slave Port mode is functionally iden-

tical to the Legacy Parallel Slave Port mode with one

exception: the implementation of 4-level read and write

buffers. Buffered PSP mode is enabled by setting the

INCM bits in the PMMODE register. If the INCM<1:0>

bits are set to ‘11’, the PMP module will act as the

Buffered Parallel Slave Port.

When the Buffered mode is active, the

PMDIN1L,PMDIN1H, PMDIN2L and PMDIN2H regis-

ters become the write buffers and the PMDOUT1L,

PMDOUT1H, PMDOUT2L and PMDOUT2H registers

become the read buffers. Buffers are numbered 0

through 3, starting with the lower byte of PMDIN1L to

PMDIN2H as the read buffers, and PMDOUT1L to

PMDOUT2H as the write buffers.

11.2.2.1 READ FROM SLAVE PORT

For read operations, the bytes will be sent out sequen-

tially, starting with Buffer 0 (PMDOUT1L<7:0>) and

ending with Buffer 3 (PMDOUT2H<7:0>) for every read

strobe. The module maintains an internal pointer to

keep track of which buffer is to be read. Each of the

buffers has a corresponding read status bit, OBxE, in

the PMSTATL register. This bit is cleared when a buffer

contains data that has not been written to the bus, and

is set when data is written to the bus. If the current

buffer location being read from is empty, a buffer under-

flow is generated, and the Buffer Overflow flag bit

OBUF is set. If all 4 OBxE status bits are set, then the

Output Buffer Empty flag (OBE) will also be set.

11.2.2.2 WRITE TO SLAVE PORT

For write operations, the data is be stored sequentially,

starting with Buffer 0 (PMDIN1L<7:0>) and ending with

Buffer 3 (PMDIN2H<7:0). As with read operations, the

module maintains an internal pointer to the buffer that

is to be written next.

The input buffers have their own write status bits, IBxF

in the PMSTATH register. The bit is set when the buffer

contains unread incoming data, and cleared when the

data has been read. The flag bit is set on the write

strobe. If a write occurs on a buffer when its associated

IBxF bit is set, the Buffer Overflow flag, IBOV, is set;

any incoming data in the buffer will be lost. If all 4 IBxF

flags are set, the Input Buffer Full Flag (IBF) is set.

In Buffered Slave mode, the module can be configured

to generate an interrupt on every read or write strobe

(IRQM1:IRQM0 = 01). It can be configured to generate

an interrupt on a read from Read Buffer 3 or a write to

Write Buffer 3, which is essentially an interrupt every

fourth read or write strobe (RQM1:IRQM0 = 11). When

interrupting every fourth byte for input data, all input

buffer registers should be read to clear the IBxF flags.

If these flags are not cleared, then their is a risk of

hitting an overflow condition.

11.2.3 ADDRESSABLE PARALLEL SLAVE

PORT MODE

In the Addressable Parallel Slave Port mode

(PMMODEH<1:0> = 01), the module is configured with

two extra inputs, PMA<1:0>, which are the address

lines 1 and 0. This makes the 4-byte buffer space

directly addressable as fixed pairs of read and write

buffers. As with Buffered Legacy mode, data is output

from PMDOUT1L, PMDOUT1H, PMDOUT2L and

PMDOUT2H, and is read in PMDIN1L, PMDIN1H,

PMDIN2L and PMDIN2H. Table 11-2 shows the buffer

addressing for the incoming address to the input and

output registers.

11.2.3.1 READ FROM SLAVE PORT

When chip select is active and a read strobe occurs

(PMCS = 1 and PMRD = 1), the data from one of the

four output bytes is presented onto PMD<7:0>. Which

byte is read depends on the 2-bit address placed on

ADDR<1:0>. Table 11-2 shows the corresponding

output registers and their associated address.

When an output buffer is read, the corresponding

OBxE bit is set. The OBE flag bit is set when all the

buffers are empty. If any buffer is already empty

(OBxE = 1), the next read to that buffer will generate an

OBUF event.

FIGURE 11-7: PARALLEL SLAVE PORT READ WAVEFORMS

11.2.3.2 WRITE TO SLAVE PORT

When chip select is active and a write strobe occurs

(PMCS = 1 and PMWR = 1), the data from PMD<7:0>

is captured into one of the four input buffer bytes.

Which byte is written depends on the 2-bit address

placed on ADDRL<1:0>. Table 11-2 shows the corre-

sponding input registers and their associated address.

When an input buffer is written, the corresponding IBxF

bit is set. The IBF flag bit is set when all the buffers are

written. If any buffer is already written (IBxF = 1), the

next write strobe to that buffer will generate an OBUF

event and the byte will be discarded.

11.3 Master Port Modes

In its Master modes, the PMP module provides an 8-bit

data bus, up to 16 bits of address, and all the necessary

control signals to operate a variety of external parallel

devices, such as memory devices, peripherals and

slave microcontrollers. To use the PMP as a master,

the module must be enabled (PMPEN = 1) and the

mode must be set to one of the two possible Master

modes (PMMODEH<1:0> = 10 or 11).

Because there are a number of parallel devices with a

variety of control methods, the PMP module is

designed to be extremely flexible to accommodate a

range of configurations. Some of these features

include:

• 8 and 16-Bit Data modes on an 8-bit data bus

• Configurable address/data multiplexing

• Up to two chip select lines

• Up to 16 selectable address lines

• Address auto-increment and auto-decrement

• Selectable polarity on all control lines

• Configurable wait states at different stages of the

read/write cycle

11.3.1 PMP AND I/O PIN CONTROL

Multiple control bits are used to configure the presence

or absence of control and address signals in the mod-

ule. These bits are PTBEEN, PTWREN, PTRDEN, and

PTEN<15:0>. They give the user the ability to conserve

pins for other functions and allow flexibility to control

the external address. When any one of these bits is set,

the associated function is present on its associated pin;

when clear, the associated pin reverts to its defined I/O

port function.

Setting a PTEN bit will enable the associated pin as an

address pin and drive the corresponding data con-

tained in the PMADDR register. Clearing the PTENx bit

will force the pin to revert to its original I/O function.

For the pins configured as chip select (PMCS1 or

PMCS2) with the corresponding PTENx bit set, chip

select pins drive inactive data (with polarity defined by

the CS1P and CS2P bits) when a read or write opera-

tion is not being performed. The PTEN0 and PTEN1

bits also control the PMALL and PMALH signals. When

multiplexing is used, the associated address latch

signals should be enabled.

11.3.2 READ/WRITE CONTROL

The PMP module supports two distinct read/write

_signaling methods. In Master mode 1, read and write

strobes are combined into a single control line,

PMRD/PMWR. A second control line, PMENB, deter-

mines when a read or write action is to be taken. In

Master mode 2, separate read and write strobes

(PMRD and PMWR) are supplied on separate pins.

All control signals (PMRD, PMWR, PMBE, PMENB,

PMAL and PMCSx) can be individually configured as

either positive or negative polarity. Configuration is

controlled by separate bits in the PMCONL register.

Note that the polarity of control signals that share the

same output pin (for example, PMWR and PMENB) are

controlled by the same bit; the configuration depends

on which Master Port mode is being used.

11.3.3 DATA WIDTH

The PMP supports data widths of both 8 and 16 bits.

The data width is selected by the MODE16 bit

(PMMODEH<2>). Because the data path into and out

of the module is only 8 bits wide, 16-bit operations are

always handled in a multiplexed fashion, with the Least

Significant Byte of data being presented first. To differ-

entiate data bytes, the Byte Enable (PMBE) control

strobe is used to signal when the Most Significant Byte

of data is being presented on the data lines.

11.3.4 ADDRESS MULTIPLEXING

In either of the Master modes (PMMODEH<1:0> = 1x),

the user can configure the address bus to be multiplexed

together with the data bus. This is accomplished using

the ADRMUX1:ADRMUX0 bits (PMCONH<4:3>). There

are three address multiplexing modes available; typical

pinout configurations for these modes are shown in

Figure 11-9, Figure 11-10 and Figure 11-11.

In Demultiplexed mode (PMCONH<4:3> = 00), data

and address information are completely separated.

Data bits are presented on PMD<7:0>, and address

bits are presented on PMADDRH<7:0> and

PMADDRL<7:0>.

In Partially Multiplexed mode (PMCONH<4:3> = 01),

the lower eight bits of the address are multiplexed with

the data pins on PMD<7:0>. The upper eight bits of

address are unaffected and are presented on

PMADDRH<7:0>. The PMA0 pin is used as an address

latch and presents the Address Latch Low (PMALL)

enable strobe. The read and write sequences are

extended by a complete CPU cycle during which the

address is presented on the PMD<7:0> pins.

In Fully Multiplexed mode (PMCONH<4:3> = 10), the

entire 16 bits of the address are multiplexed with the

data pins on PMD<7:0>. The PMA0 and PMA1 pins are

used to present Address Latch Low (PMALL) enable

and Address Latch High (PMALH) enable strobes,

respectively. The read and write sequences are

extended by two complete CPU cycles. During the first

cycle, the lower eight bits of the address are presented

on the PMD<7:0> pins with the PMALL strobe active.

During the second cycle, the upper eight bits of the

address are presented on the PMD<7:0> pins with the

PMALH strobe active. In the event the upper address

bits are configured as chip select pins, the

corresponding address bits are automatically forced

to ‘0’.

11.3.5 CHIP SELECT FEATURES

Up to two chip select lines, PMCS1 and PMCS2, are

available for the Master modes of the PMP. The two

chip select lines are multiplexed with the Most Signifi-

cant bits of the address bus (PMADDRH<6> and

PMADDRH<7>). When a pin is configured as a chip

select, it is not included in any address

auto-increment/decrement. The function of the chip

select signals is configured using the chip select

function bits (PMCONL <7:6>).

11.3.6 AUTO-INCREMENT/DECREMENT

While the module is operating in one of the Master

modes, the INCM bits (PMMODEH<3:4>) control the

behavior of the address value. The address can be

made to automatically increment or decrement after

each read and write operation. The address increments

once each operation is completed and the BUSY bit

goes to ‘0’. If the chip select signals are disabled and

configured as address bits, the bits will participate in

the increment and decrement operations; otherwise,

the CS2 and CS1 bit values will be unaffected.

11.3.7 WAIT STATES

In Master mode, the user has control over the duration

of the read, write and address cycles by configuring the

module wait states. Three portions of the cycle, the

beginning, middle, and end, are configured using the

corresponding WAITBx, WAITMx and WAITEx bits in

the PMMODEL register.

The WAITB1:WAITB0 bits (PMMODEL<7:6>) set the

number of wait cycles for the data setup prior to the

PMRD/PMWT strobe in Mode 10, or prior to the

PMENB strobe in Mode 11. The WAITM3:WAITM0 bits

(PMMODEL<5:2>) set the number of wait cycles for the

PMRD/PMWT strobe in Mode 10, or for the PMENB

strobe in Mode 11. When this wait state setting is 0,

then WAITB and WAITE have no effect. The

WAITE1:WAITE0 bits (PMMODEL<1:0>) define the

number of wait cycles for the data hold time after the

PMRD/PMWT strobe in Mode 10, or after the PMENB

strobe in Mode 11.

11.3.8 READ OPERATION

To perform a read on the Parallel Master Port, the user

reads the PMDIN1L register. This causes the PMP to

output the desired values on the chip select lines and

the address bus. Then the read line (PMRD) is strobed.

The read data is placed into the PMDIN1L register.

If the 16-bit mode is enabled (MODE16 = 1), the read

of the low byte of the PMDIN1L register will initiate two

bus reads. The first read data byte is placed into the

PMDIN1L register, and the second read data is placed

into the PMDIN1H.

Note that the read data obtained from the PMDIN1L

read operation. Hence, the first user read will be a

dummy read to initiate the first bus read and fill the read

ready until after the BUSY bit is observed low. Thus, in

a back-to-back read operation, the data read from the

of the register will yield the new value.

11.3.9 WRITE OPERATION

To perform a write onto the parallel bus, the user writes

to the PMDIN1L register. This causes the module to

first output the desired values on the chip select lines

and the address bus. The write data from the PMDIN1L

the write line (PMWR) is strobed. If the 16-bit mode is

enabled (MODE16 = 1), the write to the PMDIN1L reg-

ister will initiate two bus writes. First write will consist of

the data contained in PMDIN1L and the second write

will contain the PMDIN1H.

11.3.10 PARALLEL MASTER PORT STATUS

11.3.10.1 The BUSY Bit

In addition to the PMP interrupt, a BUSY bit is provided

to indicate the status of the module. This bit is only

used in Master mode. While any read or write operation

is in progress, the BUSY bit is set for all but the very last

CPU cycle of the operation. In effect, if a single-cycle

read or write operation is requested, the BUSY bit will

never be active. This allows back-to-back transfers.

While the bit is set, any request by the user to initiate a

new operation will be ignored (i.e., writing or reading

the lower byte of the PMDIN1L register will not initiate

either a read nor a write).

11.3.10.2 INTERRUPTS

When the PMP module interrupt is enabled for Master

mode, the module will interrupt on every completed

read or write cycle; otherwise, the BUSY bit is available

to query the status of the module.

11.4 Application Examples

This section introduces some potential applications for

the PMP module.

11.4.1 MULTIPLEXED MEMORY OR

PERIPHERAL

Figure 11-27 demonstrates the hookup of a memory or

other addressable peripheral in Full Multiplex mode.

Consequently, this mode achieves the best pin saving

from the microcontroller perspective. However, for this

configuration, there needs to be some external latches

to maintain the address.

FIGURE 11-27: EXAMPLE OF A MULTIPLEXED ADDRESSING APPLICATION

11.4.2 PARTIALLY MULTIPLEXED

MEMORY OR PERIPHERAL

Partial multiplexing implies using more pins; however,

for a few extra pins, some extra performance can be

achieved. Figure 11-28 shows an example of a mem-

ory or peripheral that is partially multiplexed with an

external latch. If the peripheral has internal latches as

shown in Figure 11-29, then no extra circuitry is

required except for the peripheral itself.

12.0 TIMER0 MODULE

The Timer0 module incorporates the following features:

• Software selectable operation as a timer or

counter in both 8-bit or 16-bit modes

• Readable and writable registers

• Dedicated 8-bit, software programmable

prescaler

• Selectable clock source (internal or external)

• Edge select for external clock

• Interrupt-on-overflow

The T0CON register (Register 12-1) controls all

aspects of the module’s operation, including the

prescale selection. It is both readable and writable.

A simplified block diagram of the Timer0 module in 8-bit

mode is shown in Figure 12-1. Figure 12-2 shows a

simplified block diagram of the Timer0 module in 16-bit

mode.

PIC18F87J11 FAMILY

12.1 Timer0 Operation

Timer0 can operate as either a timer or a counter. The

mode is selected with the T0CS bit (T0CON<5>). In

Timer mode (T0CS = 0), the module increments on

every clock by default unless a different prescaler value

is selected (see Section 12.3 “Prescaler”). If the

TMR0 register is written to, the increment is inhibited

for the following two instruction cycles. The user can

work around this by writing an adjusted value to the

TMR0 register.

The Counter mode is selected by setting the T0CS bit

(= 1). In this mode, Timer0 increments either on every

rising or falling edge of pin RA4/T0CKI. The increment-

ing edge is determined by the Timer0 Source Edge

Select bit, T0SE (T0CON<4>); clearing this bit selects

the rising edge. Restrictions on the external clock input

are discussed below.

An external clock source can be used to drive Timer0;

however, it must meet certain requirements to ensure

that the external clock can be synchronized with the

internal phase clock (T

OSC). There is a delay between

synchronization and the onset of incrementing the

timer/counter.

12.2 Timer0 Reads and Writes in

16-Bit Mode

TMR0H is not the actual high byte of Timer0 in 16-bit

mode. It is actually a buffered version of the real high

byte of Timer0 which is not directly readable nor writ-

able (refer to Figure 12-2). TMR0H is updated with the

contents of the high byte of Timer0 during a read of

TMR0L. This provides the ability to read all 16 bits of

Timer0 without having to verify that the read of the high

and low byte were valid, due to a rollover between

successive reads of the high and low byte.

Similarly, a write to the high byte of Timer0 must also

take place through the TMR0H Buffer register. The high

byte is updated with the contents of TMR0H when a

write occurs to TMR0L. This allows all 16 bits of Timer0

to be updated at once.

PIC18F87J11 FAMILY

12.3 Prescaler

An 8-bit counter is available as a prescaler for the Timer0

module. The prescaler is not directly readable or writable.

Its value is set by the PSA and T0PS2:T0PS0 bits

(T0CON<3:0>) which determine the prescaler

assignment and prescale ratio.

Clearing the PSA bit assigns the prescaler to the

Timer0 module. When it is assigned, prescale values

from 1:2 through 1:256 in power-of-2 increments are

selectable.

When assigned to the Timer0 module, all instructions

writing to the TMR0 register (e.g., CLRF TMR0, MOVWF

TMR0, BSF TMR0, etc.) clear the prescaler count.

12.3.1 SWITCHING PRESCALER

ASSIGNMENT

The prescaler assignment is fully under software

control and can be changed “on-the-fly” during program

execution.

12.4 Timer0 Interrupt

The TMR0 interrupt is generated when the TMR0

from FFFFh to 0000h in 16-bit mode. This overflow sets

the TMR0IF flag bit. The interrupt can be masked by

clearing the TMR0IE bit (INTCON<5>). Before

re-enabling the interrupt, the TMR0IF bit must be

cleared in software by the Interrupt Service Routine.

Since Timer0 is shut down in Sleep mode, the TMR0

interrupt cannot awaken the processor from Sleep.

TABLE 12-1: REGISTERS ASSOCIATED WITH TIMER0

Note: Writing to TMR0 when the prescaler is

assigned to Timer0 will clear the prescaler

count but will not change the prescaler

assignment.

13.0 TIMER1 MODULE

The Timer1 timer/counter module incorporates these

features:

• Software selectable operation as a 16-bit timer or

counter

• Readable and writable 8-bit registers (TMR1H

and TMR1L)

• Selectable clock source (internal or external) with

device clock or Timer1 oscillator internal options

• Interrupt on overflow

• Reset on ECCPx Special Event Trigger

• Device clock status flag (T1RUN)

A simplified block diagram of the Timer1 module is

shown in Figure 13-1. A block diagram of the module’s

operation in Read/Write mode is shown in Figure 13-2.

The module incorporates its own low-power oscillator

to provide an additional clocking option. The Timer1

oscillator can also be used as a low-power clock source

for the microcontroller in power-managed operation.

Timer1 can also be used to provide Real-Time Clock

(RTC) functionality to applications with only a minimal

addition of external components and code overhead.

Timer1 is controlled through the T1CON Control

Oscillator Enable bit (T1OSCEN). Timer1 can be

enabled or disabled by setting or clearing control bit,

TMR1ON (T1CON<0>).

PIC18F87J11 FAMILY

13.1 Timer1 Operation

Timer1 can operate in one of these modes:

•Timer

• Synchronous Counter

• Asynchronous Counter

The operating mode is determined by the clock select

bit, TMR1CS (T1CON<1>). When TMR1CS is cleared

(= 0), Timer1 increments on every internal instruction

cycle (FOSC/4). When the bit is set, Timer1 increments

on every rising edge of the Timer1 external clock input

or the Timer1 oscillator, if enabled.

When Timer1 is enabled, the RC1/T1OSI and

RC0/T1OSO/T13CKI pins become inputs. This means

the values of TRISC<1:0> are ignored and the pins are

read as ‘0’.

13.2 Timer1 16-Bit Read/Write Mode

Timer1 can be configured for 16-bit reads and writes

(see Figure 13-2). When the RD16 control bit,

T1CON<7>, is set, the address for TMR1H is mapped

to a buffer register for the high byte of Timer1. A read

from TMR1L will load the contents of the high byte of

Timer1 into the Timer1 High Byte Buffer register. This

provides the user with the ability to accurately read all

16 bits of Timer1 without having to determine whether

a read of the high byte, followed by a read of the low

byte, has become invalid due to a rollover between

reads.

A write to the high byte of Timer1 must also take place

through the TMR1H Buffer register. The Timer1 high

byte is updated with the contents of TMR1H when a

write occurs to TMR1L. This allows a user to write all

16 bits to both the high and low bytes of Timer1 at once.

The high byte of Timer1 is not directly readable or

writable in this mode. All reads and writes must take

place through the Timer1 High Byte Buffer register.

Writes to TMR1H do not clear the Timer1 prescaler.

The prescaler is only cleared on writes to TMR1L.

13.3 Timer1 Oscillator

An on-chip crystal oscillator circuit is incorporated

between pins T1OSI (input) and T1OSO (amplifier

output). It is enabled by setting the Timer1 Oscillator

Enable bit, T1OSCEN (T1CON<3>). The oscillator is a

low-power circuit rated for 32 kHz crystals. It will

continue to run during all power-managed modes. The

circuit for a typical LP oscillator is shown in Figure 13-3.

Table 13-1 shows the capacitor selection for the Timer1

oscillator.

The user must provide a software time delay to ensure

proper start-up of the Timer1 oscillator.

FIGURE 13-3: EXTERNAL

COMPONENTS FOR THE

TIMER1 LP OSCILLATOR

TABLE 13-1: CAPACITOR SELECTION FOR

THE TIMER OSCILLATOR(2,3,4)

13.3.1 USING TIMER1 AS A

CLOCK SOURCE

The Timer1 oscillator is also available as a clock source

in power-managed modes. By setting the clock select

bits, SCS1:SCS0 (OSCCON<1:0>), to ‘01’, the device

switches to SEC_RUN mode; both the CPU and

peripherals are clocked from the Timer1 oscillator. If the

IDLEN bit (OSCCON<7>) is cleared and a SLEEP

instruction is executed, the device enters SEC_IDLE

mode. Additional details are available in Section 3.0

“Power-Managed Modes”.

Whenever the Timer1 oscillator is providing the clock

source, the Timer1 system clock status flag, T1RUN

(T1CON<6>), is set. This can be used to determine the

controller’s current clocking mode. It can also indicate

the clock source being currently used by the Fail-Safe

Clock Monitor. If the Clock Monitor is enabled and the

Timer1 oscillator fails while providing the clock, polling

the T1RUN bit will indicate whether the clock is being

provided by the Timer1 oscillator or another source.

13.3.2 TIMER1 OSCILLATOR LAYOUT

CONSIDERATIONS

The Timer1 oscillator circuit draws very little power

during operation. Due to the low-power nature of the

oscillator, it may also be sensitive to rapidly changing

signals in close proximity.

The oscillator circuit, shown in Figure 13-3, should be

located as close as possible to the microcontroller.

There should be no circuits passing within the oscillator

circuit boundaries other than VSS or VDD.

Note: See the Notes with Table 13-1 for additional

information about capacitor selection.

PIC18F87J11 FAMILY

If a high-speed circuit must be located near the oscilla-

tor (such as the ECCP1 pin in Output Compare or PWM

mode, or the primary oscillator using the OSC2 pin), a

grounded guard ring around the oscillator circuit, as

shown in Figure 13-4, may be helpful when used on a

single-sided PCB or in addition to a ground plane.

FIGURE 13-4: OSCILLATOR CIRCUIT

13.4 Timer1 Interrupt

The TMR1 register pair (TMR1H:TMR1L) increments

from 0000h to FFFFh and rolls over to 0000h. The

Timer1 interrupt, if enabled, is generated on overflow

which is latched in interrupt flag bit, TMR1IF

(PIR1<0>). This interrupt can be enabled or disabled

by setting or clearing the Timer1 Interrupt Enable bit,

TMR1IE (PIE1<0>).

13.5 Resetting Timer1 Using the

ECCPx Special Event Trigger

If ECCP1 or ECCP2 is configured to use Timer1 and to

generate a Special Event Trigger in Compare mode

(CCPxM3:CCPxM0 = 1011), this signal will reset

Timer3. The trigger from ECCP2 will also start an A/D

conversion if the A/D module is enabled (see

Section 18.2.1 “Special Event Trigger” for more

information).

The module must be configured as either a timer or a

synchronous counter to take advantage of this feature.

When used this way, the CCPRxH:CCPRxL register

pair effectively becomes a period register for Timer1.

If Timer1 is running in Asynchronous Counter mode,

this Reset operation may not work.

In the event that a write to Timer1 coincides with a

Special Event Trigger, the write operation will take

precedence.

13.6 Using Timer1 as a Real-Time Clock

Adding an external LP oscillator to Timer1 (such as the

one described in Section 13.3 “Timer1 Oscillator”)

gives users the option to include RTC functionality to

their applications. This is accomplished with an

inexpensive watch crystal to provide an accurate time

base and several lines of application code to calculate

the time. When operating in Sleep mode and using a

battery or supercapacitor as a power source, it can

completely eliminate the need for a separate RTC

device and battery backup.

The application code routine, RTCisr, shown in

Example 13-1, demonstrates a simple method to

increment a counter at one-second intervals using an

Interrupt Service Routine. Incrementing the TMR1

the routine which increments the seconds counter by

one. Additional counters for minutes and hours are

incremented as the previous counter overflows.

Since the register pair is 16 bits wide, counting up to

overflow the register directly from a 32.768 kHz clock

would take 2 seconds. To force the overflow at the

required one-second intervals, it is necessary to pre-

load it. The simplest method is to set the MSb of

TMR1H with a BSF instruction. Note that the TMR1L

introduce cumulative error over many cycles.

For this method to be accurate, Timer1 must operate in

Asynchronous mode and the Timer1 overflow interrupt

must be enabled (PIE1<0> = 1), as shown in the

routine, RTCinit. The Timer1 oscillator must also be

enabled and running at all times.

PIC18F87J11 FAMILY

13.7 Considerations in Asynchronous

Counter Mode

Following a Timer1 interrupt and an update to the

TMR1 registers, the Timer1 module uses a falling edge

on its clock source to trigger the next register update on

the rising edge. If the update is completed after the

clock input has fallen, the next rising edge will not be

counted.

If the application can reliably update TMR1 before the

timer input goes low, no additional action is needed.

Otherwise, an adjusted update can be performed fol-

lowing a later Timer1 increment. This can be done by

monitoring TMR1L within the interrupt routine until it

increments, and then updating the TMR1H:TMR1L reg-

ister pair while the clock is low, or one-half of the period

of the clock source. Assuming that Timer1 is being

used as a Real-Time Clock, the clock source is a

32.768 kHz crystal oscillator. In this case, one-half

period of the clock is 15.25 μs.

The Real-Time Clock application code in Example 13-1

shows a typical ISR for Timer1, as well as the optional

code required if the update cannot be done reliably

within the required interval.

14.0 TIMER2 MODULE

The Timer2 module incorporates the following features:

• 8-Bit Timer and Period registers (TMR2 and PR2,

respectively)

• Readable and writable (both registers)

• Software programmable prescaler

(1:1, 1:4 and 1:16)

• Software programmable postscaler

(1:1 through 1:16)

• Interrupt on TMR2 to PR2 match

• Optional use as the shift clock for the

MSSP modules

The module is controlled through the T2CON register

(Register 14-1) which enables or disables the timer and

configures the prescaler and postscaler. Timer2 can be

shut off by clearing control bit, TMR2ON (T2CON<2>),

to minimize power consumption.

A simplified block diagram of the module is shown in

Figure 14-1.

14.1 Timer2 Operation

In normal operation, TMR2 is incremented from 00h on

each clock (FOSC/4). A 4-bit counter/prescaler on the

clock input gives direct input, divide-by-4 and

divide-by-16 prescale options. These are selected by

the prescaler control bits, T2CKPS1:T2CKPS0

(T2CON<1:0>). The value of 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 14.2

“Timer2 Interrupt”).

The TMR2 and PR2 registers are both directly readable

and writable. The TMR2 register is cleared on any

device Reset, while the PR2 register initializes at 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

• any device Reset (Power-on Reset, MCLR Reset,

Watchdog Timer Reset or Brown-out Reset)

TMR2 is not cleared when T2CON is written.

PIC18F87J11 FAMILY

14.2 Timer2 Interrupt

Timer2 can also generate an optional device interrupt.

The Timer2 output signal (TMR2 to PR2 match) pro-

vides the input for the 4-bit output counter/postscaler.

This counter generates the TMR2 match interrupt flag

which is latched in TMR2IF (PIR1<1>). The interrupt is

enabled by setting the TMR2 Match Interrupt Enable

bit, TMR2IE (PIE1<1>).

A range of 16 postscale options (from 1:1 through 1:16

inclusive) can be selected with the postscaler control

bits, T2OUTPS3:T2OUTPS0 (T2CON<6:3>).

14.3 Timer2 Output

The unscaled output of TMR2 is available primarily to

the ECCPx/CCPx modules, where it is used as a time

base for operations in PWM mode.

Timer2 can be optionally used as the shift clock source

for the MSSP modules operating in SPI mode.

Additional information is provided in Section 19.0

“Master Synchronous Serial Port (MSSP) Module”.

• Selectable clock source (internal or external) with

PIC18F87J11 FAMILY

15.1 Timer3 Operation

Timer3 can operate in one of three modes:

•Timer

• Synchronous Counter

• Asynchronous Counter

The operating mode is determined by the clock select

bit, TMR3CS (T3CON<1>). When TMR3CS is cleared

(= 0), Timer3 increments on every internal instruction

cycle (FOSC/4). When the bit is set, Timer3 increments

on every rising edge of the Timer1 external clock input

or the Timer1 oscillator, if enabled.

As with Timer1, the RC1/T1OSI and

RC0/T1OSO/T13CKI pins become inputs when the

Timer1 oscillator is enabled. This means the values of

TRISC<1:0> are ignored and the pins are read as ‘0’.

15.2 Timer3 16-Bit Read/Write Mode

Timer3 can be configured for 16-bit reads and writes

(see Figure 15-2). When the RD16 control bit

(T3CON<7>) is set, the address for TMR3H is mapped

to a buffer register for the high byte of Timer3. A read

from TMR3L will load the contents of the high byte of

Timer3 into the Timer3 High Byte Buffer register. This

provides the user with the ability to accurately read all

16 bits of Timer1 without having to determine whether

a read of the high byte, followed by a read of the low

byte, has become invalid due to a rollover between

reads.

A write to the high byte of Timer3 must also take place

through the TMR3H Buffer register. The Timer3 high

byte is updated with the contents of TMR3H when a

write occurs to TMR3L. This allows a user to write all

16 bits to both the high and low bytes of Timer3 at once.

The high byte of Timer3 is not directly readable or

writable in this mode. All reads and writes must take

place through the Timer3 High Byte Buffer register.

Writes to TMR3H do not clear the Timer3 prescaler.

The prescaler is only cleared on writes to TMR3L.

15.3 Using the Timer1 Oscillator as the

Timer3 Clock Source

The Timer1 internal oscillator may be used as the clock

source for Timer3. The Timer1 oscillator is enabled by

setting the T1OSCEN (T1CON<3>) bit. To use it as the

Timer3 clock source, the TMR3CS bit must also be set.

As previously noted, this also configures Timer3 to

increment on every rising edge of the oscillator source.

The Timer1 oscillator is described in Section 13.0

“Timer1 Module”.

15.4 Timer3 Interrupt

The TMR3 register pair (TMR3H:TMR3L) increments

from 0000h to FFFFh and overflows to 0000h. The

Timer3 interrupt, if enabled, is generated on overflow

and is latched in interrupt flag bit, TMR3IF (PIR2<1>).

This interrupt can be enabled or disabled by setting or

clearing the Timer3 Interrupt Enable bit, TMR3IE

(PIE2<1>).

15.5 Resetting Timer3 Using the

ECCPx Special Event Trigger

If ECCP1 or ECCP2 is configured to use Timer3 and to

generate a Special Event Trigger in Compare mode

(CCPxM3:CCPxM0 = 1011), this signal will reset

Timer3. The trigger from ECCP2 will also start an A/D

conversion if the A/D module is enabled (see

Section 18.2.1 “Special Event Trigger” for more

information).

The module must be configured as either a timer or

synchronous counter to take advantage of this feature.

When used this way, the CCPRxH:CCPRxL register

pair effectively becomes a period register for Timer3.

If Timer3 is running in Asynchronous Counter mode,

the Reset operation may not work.

In the event that a write to Timer3 coincides with a

Special Event Trigger from an ECCPx module, the

write will take precedence.

ECCPx module will not set the TMR3IF

16.0 TIMER4 MODULE

The Timer4 timer module has the following features:

• 8-bit timer register (TMR4)

• 8-bit period register (PR4)

• Readable and writable (both registers)

• Software programmable prescaler (1:1, 1:4, 1:16)

• Software programmable postscaler (1:1 to 1:16)

• Interrupt on TMR4 match of PR4

Timer4 has a control register shown in Register 16-1.

Timer4 can be shut off by clearing control bit, TMR4ON

(T4CON<2>), to minimize power consumption. The

prescaler and postscaler selection of Timer4 are also

controlled by this register. Figure 16-1 is a simplified

block diagram of the Timer4 module.

16.1 Timer4 Operation

Timer4 can be used as the PWM time base for the

PWM mode of the ECCPx/CCPx modules. The TMR4

device Reset. The input clock (FOSC/4) has a prescale

option of 1:1, 1:4 or 1:16, selected by control bits

T4CKPS1:T4CKPS0 (T4CON<1:0>). The match out-

put of TMR4 goes through a 4-bit postscaler (which

gives a 1:1 to 1:16 scaling inclusive) to generate a

TMR4 interrupt, latched in flag bit, TMR4IF (PIR3<3>).

The prescaler and postscaler counters are cleared

when any of the following occurs:

• a write to the TMR4 register

• a write to the T4CON register

• any device Reset (Power-on Reset, MCLR Reset,

Watchdog Timer Reset or Brown-out Reset)

TMR4 is not cleared when T4CON is written.

16.2 Timer4 Interrupt

The Timer4 module has an 8-bit period register, PR4,

which is both readable and writable. Timer4 increments

from 00h until it matches PR4 and then resets to 00h on

the next increment cycle. The PR4 register is initialized

to FFh upon Reset.

16.3 Output of TMR4

The output of TMR4 (before the postscaler) is used

only as a PWM time base for the ECCPx/CCPx mod-

ules. It is not used as a baud rate clock for the MSSP

modules as is the Timer2 output.

17.0 CAPTURE/COMPARE/PWM

(CCP) MODULES

Members of the PIC18F87J11 family of devices all have

a total of five CCP (Capture/Compare/PWM) modules.

Two of these (CCP4 and CCP5) implement standard

Capture, Compare and Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM)

modes and are discussed in this section. The other three

modules (ECCP1, ECCP2, ECCP3) implement

standard Capture and Compare modes, as well as

Enhanced PWM modes. These are discussed in

Section 18.0 “Enhanced Capture/Compare/PWM

(ECCP) Module”.

Each CCP/ECCP module contains a 16-bit register

which can operate as a 16-bit Capture register, a 16-bit

Compare register or a PWM Master/Slave Duty Cycle

tion in the following sections is described with respect

to CCP4, but is equally applicable to CCP5.

Capture and Compare operations described in this

chapter apply to all standard and Enhanced CCP

modules. The operations of PWM mode, described in

Section 17.4 “PWM Mode”, apply to CCP4 and CCP5

only.

Note: Throughout this section and Section 18.0

“Enhanced Capture/Compare/PWM (ECCP)

Module”, references to register and bit names

that may be associated with a specific CCP

module are referred to generically by the use of

‘x’ or ‘y’ in place of the specific module number.

Thus, “CCPxCON” might refer to the control

CCP5.

17.1 CCP Module Configuration

Each Capture/Compare/PWM module is associated

with a control register (generically, CCPxCON) and a

data register (CCPRx). The data register, in turn, is

comprised of two 8-bit registers: CCPRxL (low byte)

and CCPRxH (high byte). All registers are both

readable and writable.

17.1.1 CCP MODULES AND TIMER

RESOURCES

The ECCP/CCP modules utilize Timers 1, 2, 3 or 4,

depending on the mode selected. Timer1 and Timer3

are available to modules in Capture or Compare

modes, while Timer2 and Timer4 are available for

modules in PWM mode.

TABLE 17-1: CCP MODE – TIMER

RESOURCE

The assignment of a particular timer to a module is

determined by the timer to CCP enable bits in the

T3CON register (Register 15-1, page 189). Depending

on the configuration selected, up to four timers may be

active at once, with modules in the same configuration

(Capture/Compare or PWM) sharing timer resources.

The possible configurations are shown in Figure 17-1.

17.1.2 OPEN-DRAIN OUTPUT OPTION

When operating in Output mode (i.e., in Compare or

PWM modes), the drivers for the CCP pins can be

optionally configured as open-drain outputs. This feature

allows the voltage level on the pin to be pulled to a higher

level through an external pull-up resistor, and allows the

output to communicate with external circuits without the

need for additional level shifters. For more information,

see Section 10.1.4 “Open-Drain Outputs”.

The open-drain output option is controlled by the bits in

the ODCON1 register. Setting the appropriate bit con-

figures the pin for the corresponding module for

open-drain operation. The ODCON1 memory shares

the same address space as TMR1H. The ODCON1

the WDTCON register (WDTCON<4>).

PIC18F87J11 FAMILY

17.2 Capture Mode

In Capture mode, the CCPRxH:CCPRxL register pair

captures the 16-bit value of the TMR1 or TMR3

registers when an event occurs on the corresponding

CCP pin. An event is defined as one of the following:

• every falling edge

• every rising edge

• every 4th rising edge

• every 16th rising edge

The event is selected by the mode select bits,

CCPxM3:CCPxM0 (CCPxCON<3:0>). When a capture

is made, the interrupt request flag bit, CCPxIF, is set; it

must be cleared in software. If another capture occurs

before the value in register CCPRx is read, the old

captured value is overwritten by the new captured value.

17.2.1 CCP PIN CONFIGURATION

In Capture mode, the appropriate CCP pin should be

configured as an input by setting the corresponding

TRIS direction bit.

17.2.2 TIMER1/TIMER3 MODE SELECTION

The timers that are to be used with the capture feature

(Timer1 and/or Timer3) must be running in Timer mode or

Synchronized Counter mode. In Asynchronous Counter

mode, the capture operation will not work. The timer to be

used with each CCP module is selected in the T3CON

Resources”).

17.2.3 SOFTWARE INTERRUPT

When the Capture mode is changed, a false capture

interrupt may be generated. The user should keep the

CCPxIE interrupt enable bit clear to avoid false

interrupts. The interrupt flag bit, CCPxIF, should also be

cleared following any such change in operating mode.

17.2.4 CCP PRESCALER

There are four prescaler settings in Capture mode.

They are specified as part of the operating mode

selected by the mode select bits (CCPxM3:CCPxM0).

Whenever the CCP module is turned off or Capture

mode is disabled, the prescaler counter is cleared. This

means that any Reset will clear the prescaler counter.

Switching from one capture prescaler to another may

generate an interrupt. Also, the prescaler counter will

not be cleared; therefore, the first capture may be from

a non-zero prescaler. Example 17-1 shows the

recommended method for switching between capture

prescalers. This example also clears the prescaler

counter and will not generate the “false” interrupt.

17.3 Compare Mode

In Compare mode, the 16-bit CCPRx register value is

constantly compared against either the TMR1 or TMR3

can be:

• driven high

• driven low

• toggled (high-to-low or low-to-high)

• remains unchanged (that is, reflects the state of

the I/O latch)

The action on the pin is based on the value of the mode

select bits (CCPxM3:CCPxM0). At the same time, the

interrupt flag bit, CCPxIF, is set.

17.3.1 CCP PIN CONFIGURATION

The user must configure the CCP pin as an output by

clearing the appropriate TRIS bit.

17.3.2 TIMER1/TIMER3 MODE SELECTION

Timer1 and/or Timer3 must be running in Timer mode

or Synchronized Counter mode if the CCP module is

using the compare feature. In Asynchronous Counter

mode, the compare operation may not work.

17.3.3 SOFTWARE INTERRUPT MODE

When the Generate Software Interrupt mode is chosen

(CCPxM3:CCPxM0 = 1010), the corresponding CCP

pin is not affected. Only a CCP interrupt is generated,

if enabled, and the CCPxIE bit is set.

FIGURE 17-3: COMPARE MODE OPERATION BLOCK DIAGRAM

PIC18F87J11 FAMILY

17.4 PWM Mode

In Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) mode, the CCP pin

produces up to a 10-bit resolution PWM output. Since

the CCP4 and CCP5 pins are multiplexed with a

PORTG data latch, the appropriate TRISG bit must be

cleared to make the CCP4 or CCP5 pin an output.

Figure 17-4 shows a simplified block diagram of the

CCP module in PWM mode.

For a step-by-step procedure on how to set up a CCP

module for PWM operation, see Section 17.4.3

“Setup for PWM Operation”.

FIGURE 17-4: SIMPLIFIED PWM BLOCK

DIAGRAM

A PWM output (Figure 17-5) has a time base (period)

and a time that the output stays high (duty cycle).

The frequency of the PWM is the inverse of the

period (1/period).

FIGURE 17-5: PWM OUTPUT

17.4.1 PWM PERIOD

The PWM period is specified by writing to the PR2

(PR4) register. The PWM period can be calculated

using Equation 17-1:

EQUATION 17-1:

PWM frequency is defined as 1/[PWM period].

When TMR2 (TMR4) is equal to PR2 (PR4), the

following three events occur on the next increment

cycle:

• TMR2 (TMR4) is cleared

• The CCP pin is set (exception: if PWM duty

cycle = 0%, the CCP pin will not be set)

• The PWM duty cycle is latched from CCPRxL into

CCPRxH

17.4.2 PWM DUTY CYCLE

The PWM duty cycle is specified by writing to the

CCPRxL register and to the CCPxCON<5:4> bits. Up

to 10-bit resolution is available. The CCPRxL contains

the eight MSbs and the CCPxCON<5:4> contains the

two LSbs. This 10-bit value is represented by

CCPRxL:CCPxCON<5:4>. Equation 17-2 is used to

calculate the PWM duty cycle in time.

EQUATION 17-2:

CCPRxL and CCPxCON<5:4> can be written to at any

time, but the duty cycle value is not latched into

CCPRxH until after a match between PR2 (PR4) and

TMR2 (TMR4) occurs (i.e., the period is complete). In

PWM mode, CCPRxH is a read-only register.

Note: Clearing the CCP4CON or CCP5CON

latch (depending on device configuration)

to the default low level. This is not the

PORTG I/O data latch.

The CCPRxH register and a 2-bit internal latch are

used to double-buffer the PWM duty cycle. This

double-buffering is essential for glitchless PWM

operation.

When the CCPRxH and 2-bit latch match TMR2

(TMR4), concatenated with an internal 2-bit Q clock or

2 bits of the TMR2 (TMR4) prescaler, the CCP pin is

cleared.

The maximum PWM resolution (bits) for a given PWM

frequency is given by Equation 17-3:

17.4.3 SETUP FOR PWM OPERATION

The following steps should be taken when configuring

the CCP module for PWM operation:

1. Set the PWM period by writing to the PR2 (PR4)

2. Set the PWM duty cycle by writing to the

CCPRxL register and CCPxCON<5:4> bits.

3. Make the CCP pin an output by clearing the

appropriate TRIS bit.

4. Set the TMR2 (TMR4) prescale value, then

enable Timer2 (Timer4) by writing to T2CON

(T4CON).

5. Configure the CCP module for PWM operation.

18.0 ENHANCED CAPTURE/

COMPARE/PWM (ECCP)

MODULE

In the PIC18F87J11 family of devices, three of the CCP

modules are implemented as standard CCP modules

with Enhanced PWM capabilities. These include the

provision for 2 or 4 output channels, user-selectable

polarity, dead-band control and automatic shutdown

and restart. The Enhanced features are discussed in

detail in Section 18.4 “Enhanced PWM Mode”.

Capture, Compare and single-output PWM functions of

the ECCP module are the same as described for the

standard CCP module.

The control register for the Enhanced CCP module is

shown in Register 18-1. It differs from the CCP4CON/

CCP5CON registers in that the two Most Significant

bits are implemented to control PWM functionality.

In addition to the expanded range of modes available

through the Enhanced CCPxCON register, the ECCP

modules each have two additional registers associated

with Enhanced PWM operation and auto-shutdown

features. They are:

• ECCPxDEL (ECCPx PWM Delay)

• ECCPxAS (ECCPx Auto-Shutdown Control)

PIC18F87J11 FAMILY

18.1 ECCP Outputs and Configuration

Each of the Enhanced CCP modules may have up to

four PWM outputs, depending on the selected

operating mode. These outputs, designated PxA

through PxD, are multiplexed with various I/O pins.

Some ECCP pin assignments are constant, while

others change based on device configuration. For

those pins that do change, the controlling bits are:

• CCP2MX Configuration bit

• ECCPMX Configuration bit (80-pin devices only)

• Program Memory Operating mode, set by the

EMB Configuration bits (80-pin devices only)

The pin assignments for the Enhanced CCP modules

are summarized in Table 18-1, Table 18-2 and

Table 18-3. To configure the I/O pins as PWM outputs,

the proper PWM mode must be selected by setting the

PxMx and CCPxMx bits (CCPxCON<7:6> and <3:0>,

respectively). The appropriate TRIS direction bits for

the corresponding port pins must also be set as

outputs.

18.1.1 ECCP1/ECCP3 OUTPUTS AND

PROGRAM MEMORY MODE

In 80-pin devices, the use of Extended Microcontroller

mode has an indirect effect on the use of ECCP1 and

ECCP3 in Enhanced PWM modes. By default, PWM

outputs, P1B/P1C and P3B/P3C, are multiplexed to

PORTE pins along with the high-order byte of the

external memory bus. When the bus is active in

Extended Microcontroller mode, it overrides the

Enhanced CCP outputs and makes them unavailable.

Because of this, ECCP1 and ECCP3 can only be used

in compatible (single output) PWM modes when the

device is in Extended Microcontroller mode and default

pin configuration.

An exception to this configuration is when a 12-bit

address width is selected for the external bus

(EMB1:EMB0 Configuration bits = 01). In this case, the

upper pins of PORTE continue to operate as digital I/O,

even when the external bus is active. P1B/P1C and

P3B/P3C remain available for use as Enhanced PWM

outputs.

If an application requires the use of additional PWM

outputs during enhanced microcontroller operation, the

P1B/P1C and P3B/P3C outputs can be reassigned to

the upper bits of PORTH. This is done by clearing the

ECCPMX Configuration bit.

18.1.2 ECCP2 OUTPUTS AND PROGRAM

MEMORY MODES

For 80-pin devices, the program memory mode of the

device (Section 5.1.3 “PIC18F8xJ11/8XJ16 Program

Memory Modes”) also impacts pin multiplexing for the

module.

The ECCP2 input/output (ECCP2/P2A) can be

multiplexed to one of three pins. The default

assignment (CCP2MX Configuration bit is set) for all

devices is RC1. Clearing CCP2MX reassigns ECCP2/

P2A to RE7.

An additional option exists for 80-pin devices. When

these devices are operating in Microcontroller mode,

the multiplexing options described above still apply. In

Extended Microcontroller mode, clearing CCP2MX

reassigns ECCP2/P2A to RB3.

Changing the pin assignment of ECCP2 does not

automatically change any requirements for configuring

the port pin. Users must always verify that the

appropriate TRIS register is configured correctly for

ECCP2 operation regardless of where it is located.

Note 1: Implemented only for ECCP1 and ECCP2; same as ‘1010’ for ECCP3.

PIC18F87J11 FAMILY

18.1.3 USE OF CCP4 AND CCP5 WITH

ECCP1 AND ECCP3

Only the ECCP2 module has four dedicated output pins

that are available for use. Assuming that the I/O ports

or other multiplexed functions on those pins are not

needed, they may be used whenever needed without

interfering with any other CCP module.

ECCP1 and ECCP3, on the other hand, only have

three dedicated output pins: ECCPx/PxA, PxB and

PxC. Whenever these modules are configured for

Quad PWM mode, the pin normally used for CCP4 or

CCP5 becomes the PxD output pins for ECCP3 and

ECCP1, respectively. The CCP4 and CCP5 modules

remain functional but their outputs are overridden.

18.1.4 ECCP MODULES AND TIMER

RESOURCES

Like the standard CCP modules, the ECCP modules

can utilize Timers 1, 2, 3 or 4, depending on the mode

selected. Timer1 and Timer3 are available for modules

in Capture or Compare modes, while Timer2 and

Timer4 are available for modules in PWM mode.

Additional details on timer resources are provided in

Section 17.1.1 “CCP Modules and Timer

Resources”.

18.1.5 OPEN-DRAIN OUTPUT OPTION

When operating in compare or standard PWM modes,

the drivers for the ECCP pins can be optionally

configured as open-drain outputs. This feature allows

the voltage level on the pin to be pulled to a higher level

through an external pull-up resistor, and allows the

output to communicate with external circuits without the

need for additional level shifters. For more information,

see Section 10.1.4 “Open-Drain Outputs”

The open-drain output option is controlled by the bits in

the ODCON1 register. Setting the appropriate bit

configures the pin for the corresponding module for

open-drain operation. The ODCON1 memory shares

the same address space as of TMR1H. The ODCON1

the WDTCON register (WDTCON<4>).

PIC18F87J11 FAMILY

18.2 Capture and Compare Modes

Except for the operation of the Special Event Trigger

discussed below, the Capture and Compare modes of

the ECCP module are identical in operation to that of

CCP4. These are discussed in detail in Section 17.2

“Capture Mode” and Section 17.3 “Compare

Mode”.

18.2.1 SPECIAL EVENT TRIGGER

ECCP1 and ECCP2 incorporate an internal hardware

trigger that is generated in Compare mode on a match

between the CCPRx register pair and the selected

timer. This can be used in turn to initiate an action. This

mode is selected by setting CCPxCON<3:0> to ‘1011’.

The Special Event Trigger output of either ECCP1 or

ECCP2 resets the TMR1 or TMR3 register pair, depend-

ing on which timer resource is currently selected. This

allows the CCPRx register pair to effectively be a 16-bit

programmable period register for Timer1 or Timer3. In

addition, the ECCP2 Special Event Trigger will also start

an A/D conversion if the A/D module is enabled.

Special Event Triggers are not implemented for

ECCP3, CCP4 or CCP5. Selecting the Special Event

Trigger mode for these modules has the same effect as

selecting the Compare with Software Interrupt mode

(CCPxM3:CCPxM0 = 1010).

18.3 Standard PWM Mode

When configured in Single Output mode, the ECCP

module functions identically to the standard CCP

module in PWM mode, as described in Section 17.4

“PWM Mode”. This is also sometimes referred to as

“Compatible CCP” mode as in Tables 18-1

through 18-3.

Note: The Special Event Trigger from ECCP2

will not set the Timer1 or Timer3 interrupt

flag bits.

Note: When setting up single output PWM

operations, users are free to use either of

the processes described in Section 17.4.3

“Setup for PWM Operation” or

Section 18.4.9 “Setup for PWM Opera-

tion”. The latter is more generic but will

work for either single or multi-output PWM.

PIC18F87J11 FAMILY

18.4 Enhanced PWM Mode

The Enhanced PWM mode provides additional PWM

output options for a broader range of control applica-

tions. The module is a backward compatible version of

the standard CCP module and offers up to four outputs,

designated PxA through PxD. Users are also able to

select the polarity of the signal (either active-high or

active-low). The module’s output mode and polarity

are configured by setting the PxM1:PxM0 and

CCPxM3:CCPxM0 bits of the CCPxCON register

(CCPxCON<7:6> and CCPxCON<3:0>, respectively).

For the sake of clarity, Enhanced PWM mode operation

is described generically throughout this section with

respect to the ECCP1 and TMR2 modules. Control reg-

ister names are presented in terms of ECCP1. All three

Enhanced modules, as well as the two timer resources,

can be used interchangeably and function identically.

TMR2 or TMR4 can be selected for PWM operation by

selecting the proper bits in T3CON.

Figure 18-1 shows a simplified block diagram of PWM

operation. All control registers are double-buffered and

are loaded at the beginning of a new PWM cycle (the

period boundary when Timer2 resets) in order to

prevent glitches on any of the outputs. The exception is

the ECCPx PWM Delay register, ECCPxDEL, which is

loaded at either the duty cycle boundary or the bound-

ary period (whichever comes first). Because of the

buffering, the module waits until the assigned timer

resets instead of starting immediately. This means that

Enhanced PWM waveforms do not exactly match the

standard PWM waveforms, but are instead offset by

one full instruction cycle (4 TOSC).

As before, the user must manually configure the

appropriate TRIS bits for output.

18.4.1 PWM PERIOD

The PWM period is specified by writing to the PR2

equation:

EQUATION 18-1:

PWM frequency is defined as 1/[PWM period]. When

TMR2 is equal to PR2, the following three events occur

on the next increment cycle:

•TMR2 is cleared

• The ECCP1 pin is set (if PWM duty cycle = 0%,

the ECCP1 pin will not be set)

• The PWM duty cycle is copied from CCPR1L into

CCPR1H

FIGURE 18-1: SIMPLIFIED BLOCK DIAGRAM OF THE ENHANCED PWM MODULE

Note: The Timer2 postscaler (see Section 14.0

“Timer2 Module”) is not used in the

determination of the PWM frequency. The

postscaler could be used to have a servo

update rate at a different frequency than

the PWM output.

18.4.2 PWM DUTY CYCLE

The PWM duty cycle is specified by writing to the

CCPR1L register and to the CCP1CON<5:4> bits. Up

to 10-bit resolution is available. The CCPR1L contains

the eight MSbs and the CCP1CON<5:4> contains the

two LSbs. This 10-bit value is represented by

CCPR1L:CCP1CON<5:4>. The PWM duty cycle is

calculated by the following equation:

EQUATION 18-2:

CCPR1L and CCP1CON<5:4> can be written to at any

time but the duty cycle value is not copied into

CCPR1H until a match between PR2 and TMR2 occurs

(i.e., the period is complete). In PWM mode, CCPR1H

is a read-only register.

The CCPR1H register and a 2-bit internal latch are

used to double-buffer the PWM duty cycle. This

double-buffering is essential for glitchless PWM opera-

tion. When the CCPR1H and 2-bit latch match TMR2,

concatenated with an internal 2-bit Q clock or two bits

of the TMR2 prescaler, the ECCP1 pin is cleared. The

maximum PWM resolution (bits) for a given PWM

frequency is given by the equation:

EQUATION 18-3:

18.4.3 PWM OUTPUT CONFIGURATIONS

The P1M1:P1M0 bits in the CCP1CON register allow

one of four configurations:

• Single Output

• Half-Bridge Output

• Full-Bridge Output, Forward mode

• Full-Bridge Output, Reverse mode

The Single Output mode is the standard PWM mode

discussed in Section 18.4 “Enhanced PWM Mode”.

The Half-Bridge and Full-Bridge Output modes are

covered in detail in the sections that follow.

The general relationship of the outputs in all

configurations is summarized in Figure 18-2.

18.4.4 HALF-BRIDGE MODE

In the Half-Bridge Output mode, two pins are used as

outputs to drive push-pull loads. The PWM output

signal is output on the P1A pin, while the complemen-

tary PWM output signal is output on the P1B pin

(Figure 18-4). This mode can be used for half-bridge

applications, as shown in Figure 18-5, or for full-bridge

applications, where four power switches are being

modulated with two PWM signals.

In Half-Bridge Output mode, the programmable

dead-band delay can be used to prevent shoot-through

current in half-bridge power devices. The value of bits

P1DC6:P1DC0 sets the number of instruction cycles

before the output is driven active. If the value is greater

than the duty cycle, the corresponding output remains

inactive during the entire cycle. See Section 18.4.6

“Programmable Dead-Band Delay” for more details

on dead-band delay operations.

Since the P1A and P1B outputs are multiplexed with

the PORTC<2> and PORTE<6> data latches, the

TRISC<2> and TRISE<6> bits must be cleared to

configure P1A and P1B as outputs.

18.4.5 FULL-BRIDGE MODE

In Full-Bridge Output mode, four pins are used as

outputs; however, only two outputs are active at a time.

In the Forward mode, pin P1A is continuously active

and pin P1D is modulated. In the Reverse mode, pin

P1C is continuously active and pin P1B is modulated.

These are illustrated in Figure 18-6.

P1A, P1B, P1C and P1D outputs are multiplexed with

the port pins as described in Table 18-1, Table 18-2

and Table 18-3. The corresponding TRIS bits must be

cleared to make the P1A, P1B, P1C and P1D pins

outputs.

FIGURE 18-7: EXAMPLE OF FULL-BRIDGE OUTPUT APPLICATION

18.4.5.1 Direction Change in Full-Bridge

Output Mode

In the Full-Bridge Output mode, the P1M1 bit in the

CCP1CON register allows users to control the forward/

reverse direction. When the application firmware

changes this direction control bit, the module will

assume the new direction on the next PWM cycle.

Just before the end of the current PWM period, the

modulated outputs (P1B and P1D) are placed in their

inactive state, while the unmodulated outputs (P1A and

P1C) are switched to drive in the opposite direction.

This occurs in a time interval of (4 TOSC * (Timer2

Prescale Value) before the next PWM period begins.

The Timer2 prescaler will be either 1, 4 or 16, depend-

ing on the value of the T2CKPS bits (T2CON<1:0>).

During the interval from the switch of the unmodulated

outputs to the beginning of the next period, the

modulated outputs (P1B and P1D) remain inactive.

This relationship is shown in Figure 18-8.

Note that in the Full-Bridge Output mode, the ECCP1

module does not provide any dead-band delay. In gen-

eral, since only one output is modulated at all times,

dead-band delay is not required. However, there is a

situation where a dead-band delay might be required.

This situation occurs when both of the following

conditions are true:

1. The direction of the PWM output changes when

the duty cycle of the output is at or near 100%.

2. The turn-off time of the power switch, including

the power device and driver circuit, is greater

than the turn-on time.

Figure 18-9 shows an example where the PWM direc-

tion changes from forward to reverse at a near 100%

duty cycle. At time t1, the outputs, P1A and P1D,

become inactive, while output, P1C, becomes active. In

this example, since the turn-off time of the power

devices is longer than the turn-on time, a shoot-through

current may flow through power devices, QC and QD

(see Figure 18-7), for the duration of ‘t’. The same

phenomenon will occur to power devices, QA and QB,

for PWM direction change from reverse to forward.

If changing PWM direction at high duty cycle is required

for an application, one of the following requirements

must be met:

1. Reduce PWM for a PWM period before

changing directions.

2. Use switch drivers that can drive the switches off

faster than they can drive them on.

Other options to prevent shoot-through current may

exist.

18.4.6 PROGRAMMABLE DEAD-BAND

DELAY

In half-bridge applications, where all power switches

are modulated at the PWM frequency at all times, the

power switches normally require more time to turn off

than to turn on. If both the upper and lower power

switches are switched at the same time (one turned on

and the other turned off), both switches may be on for

a short period of time until one switch completely turns

off. During this brief interval, a very high current

(shoot-through current) may flow through both power

switches, shorting the bridge supply. To avoid this

potentially destructive shoot-through current from flow-

ing during switching, turning on either of the power

switches is normally delayed to allow the other switch

to completely turn off.

In the Half-Bridge Output mode, a digitally program-

mable, dead-band delay is available to avoid

shoot-through current from destroying the bridge

power switches. The delay occurs at the signal

transition from the non-active state to the active state

(see Figure 18-4 for illustration). The lower seven bits of

the ECCPxDEL register (Register 18-2) set the delay

period in terms of microcontroller instruction cycles

CY or 4 TOSC).

18.4.7 ENHANCED PWM

AUTO-SHUTDOWN

When the ECCP1 is programmed for any of the

Enhanced PWM modes, the active output pins may be

configured for auto-shutdown. Auto-shutdown immedi-

ately places the Enhanced PWM output pins into a

defined shutdown state when a shutdown event

occurs.

A shutdown event can be caused by either of the two

comparator modules or the FLT0 pin (or any combina-

tion of these three sources). The comparators may be

used to monitor a voltage input proportional to a current

being monitored in the bridge circuit. If the voltage

exceeds a threshold, the comparator switches state and

triggers a shutdown. Alternatively, a low-level digital sig-

nal on the FLT0 pin can also trigger a shutdown. The

auto-shutdown feature can be disabled by not selecting

any auto-shutdown sources. The auto-shutdown

sources to be used are selected using the

ECCP1AS2:ECCP1AS0 bits (ECCP1AS<6:4>).

When a shutdown occurs, the output pins are

asynchronously placed in their shutdown states,

specified by the PSS1AC1:PSS1AC0 and

PSS1BD1:PSS1BD0 bits (ECCP1AS3:ECCP1AS0).

Each pin pair (P1A/P1C and P1B/P1D) may be set to

drive high, drive low or be tri-stated (not driving). The

ECCP1ASE bit (ECCP1AS<7>) is also set to hold the

Enhanced PWM outputs in their shutdown states.

The ECCP1ASE bit is set by hardware when a

shutdown event occurs. If automatic restarts are not

enabled, the ECCP1ASE bit is cleared by firmware

when the cause of the shutdown clears. If automatic

restarts are enabled, the ECCP1ASE bit is automati-

cally cleared when the cause of the auto-shutdown has

cleared.

If the ECCP1ASE bit is set when a PWM period begins,

the PWM outputs remain in their shutdown state for that

entire PWM period. When the ECCP1ASE bit is

cleared, the PWM outputs will return to normal

operation at the beginning of the next PWM period.

Note: Writing to the ECCP1ASE bit is disabled

while a shutdown condition is active.

PIC18F87J11 FAMILY

18.4.7.1 Auto-Shutdown and Automatic

Restart

The auto-shutdown feature can be configured to allow

automatic restarts of the module following a shutdown

event. This is enabled by setting the P1RSEN bit of the

ECCP1DEL register (ECCP1DEL<7>).

In Shutdown mode with P1RSEN = 1 (Figure 18-10),

the ECCP1ASE bit will remain set for as long as the

cause of the shutdown continues. When the shutdown

condition clears, the ECCP1ASE bit is cleared. If

P1RSEN = 0 (Figure 18-11), once a shutdown condi-

tion occurs, the ECCP1ASE bit will remain set until it is

cleared by firmware. Once ECCP1ASE is cleared, the

Enhanced PWM will resume at the beginning of the

next PWM period.

Independent of the P1RSEN bit setting, if the

auto-shutdown source is one of the comparators, the

shutdown condition is a level. The ECCP1ASE bit

cannot be cleared as long as the cause of the shutdown

persists.

The Auto-Shutdown mode can be forced by writing a ‘1’

to the ECCP1ASE bit.

18.4.8 START-UP CONSIDERATIONS

When the ECCP1 module is used in the PWM mode,

the application hardware must use the proper external

pull-up and/or pull-down resistors on the PWM output

pins. When the microcontroller is released from Reset,

all of the I/O pins are in the high-impedance state. The

external circuits must keep the power switch devices in

the OFF state until the microcontroller drives the I/O

pins with the proper signal levels, or activates the PWM

output(s).

The CCP1M1:CCP1M0 bits (CCP1CON<1:0>) allow

the user to choose whether the PWM output signals are

active-high or active-low for each pair of PWM output

pins (P1A/P1C and P1B/P1D). The PWM output

polarities must be selected before the PWM pins are

configured as outputs. Changing the polarity configura-

tion while the PWM pins are configured as outputs is

not recommended since it may result in damage to the

application circuits.

The P1A, P1B, P1C and P1D output latches may not be

in the proper states when the PWM module is initialized.

Enabling the PWM pins for output at the same time as

the ECCP1 module may cause damage to the applica-

tion circuit. The ECCP1 module must be enabled in the

proper output mode and complete a full PWM cycle

before configuring the PWM pins as outputs. The

completion of a full PWM cycle is indicated by the

TMR2IF bit being set as the second PWM period

begins.

18.4.9 SETUP FOR PWM OPERATION

The following steps should be taken when configuring

the ECCP module for PWM operation:

1. Configure the PWM pins PxA and PxB (and PxC

and PxD, if used) as inputs by setting the

corresponding TRIS bits.

2. Set the PWM period by loading the PR2 (PR4)

3. Configure the ECCP module for the desired

PWM mode and configuration by loading the

CCPxCON register with the appropriate values:

• Select one of the available output

configurations and direction with the

PxM1:PxM0 bits.

• Select the polarities of the PWM output

signals with the CCPxM3:CCPxM0 bits.

4. Set the PWM duty cycle by loading the CCPRxL

5. For auto-shutdown:

• Disable auto-shutdown; ECCPxASE = 0

• Configure auto-shutdown source

• Wait for Run condition

6. For Half-Bridge Output mode, set the

dead-band delay by loading ECCPxDEL<6:0>

with the appropriate value.

7. If auto-shutdown operation is required, load the

ECCPxAS register:

• Select the auto-shutdown sources using the

ECCPxAS2:ECCPxAS0 bits.

• Select the shutdown states of the PWM

output pins using the PSSxAC1:PSSxAC0

and PSSxBD1:PSSxBD0 bits.

• Set the ECCPxASE bit (ECCPxAS<7>).

8. If auto-restart operation is required, set the

PxRSEN bit (ECCPxDEL<7>).

9. Configure and start TMRn (TMR2 or TMR4):

• Clear the TMRn interrupt flag bit by clearing

the TMRnIF bit (PIR1<1> for Timer2 or

PIR3<3> for Timer4).

• Set the TMRn prescale value by loading the

TnCKPS bits (TnCON<1:0>).

• Enable Timer2 (or Timer4) by setting the

TMRnON bit (TnCON<2>).

10. Enable PWM outputs after a new PWM cycle

has started:

• Wait until TMRn overflows (TMRnIF bit is set).

• Enable the ECCPx/PxA, PxB, PxC and/or

PxD pin outputs by clearing the respective

TRIS bits.

• Clear the ECCPxASE bit (ECCPxAS<7>).

18.4.10 EFFECTS OF A RESET

Both Power-on Reset and subsequent Resets will force

all ports to Input mode and the ECCP registers to their

Reset states.

This forces the Enhanced CCP module to reset to a

state compatible with the standard CCP module.

19.0 MASTER SYNCHRONOUS

SERIAL PORT (MSSP)

MODULE

19.1 Master SSP (MSSP) Module

Overview

The Master Synchronous Serial Port (MSSP) module is

a serial interface, useful for communicating with other

peripheral or microcontroller devices. These peripheral

devices may be serial EEPROMs, shift registers,

display drivers, A/D converters, etc. The MSSP module

can operate in one of two modes:

• Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI)

• Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C™)

- Full Master mode

- Slave mode (with general address call)

The I2C interface supports the following modes in

hardware:

•Master mode

• Multi-Master mode

• Slave mode with 5-bit and 7-bit address masking

(with address masking for both 10-bit and 7-bit

addressing)

All members of the PIC18F87J11 Family have two

MSSP modules, designated as MSSP1 and MSSP2.

Each module operates independently of the other.

19.2 Control Registers

Each MSSP module has three associated control regis-

ters. These include a status register (SSPxSTAT) and

two control registers (SSPxCON1 and SSPxCON2). The

use of these registers and their individual configuration

bits differ significantly depending on whether the MSSP

module is operated in SPI or I2C mode.

Additional details are provided under the individual

sections.

19.3 SPI Mode

The SPI mode allows 8 bits of data to be synchronously

transmitted and received simultaneously. All four

modes of SPI are supported. To accomplish

communication, typically three pins are used:

• Serial Data Out (SDOx) – RC5/SDO1 or

RD4/SDO2

• Serial Data In (SDIx) – RC4/SDI1/SDA1 or

RD5/SDI2/SDA2

• Serial Clock (SCKx) – RC3/SCK1/SCL1 or

RD6/SCK2/SCL2

Additionally, a fourth pin may be used when in a Slave

mode of operation:

• Slave Select (SSx) – RF7/SS1 or RD7/SS2

Figure 19-1 shows the block diagram of the MSSP

module when operating in SPI mode.

FIGURE 19-1: MSSP BLOCK DIAGRAM

(SPI MODE)

Note: Throughout this section, generic refer-

ences to an MSSP module in any of its

operating modes may be interpreted as

being equally applicable to MSSP1 or

MSSP2. Register names and module I/O

signals use the generic designator ‘x’ to

indicate the use of a numeral to distinguish

a particular module when required. Control

bit names are not individuated.

Note: In devices with more than one MSSP

module, it is very important to pay close

attention to SSPxCON register names.

SSP1CON1 and SSP1CON2 control

different operational aspects of the same

module, while SSP1CON1 and

SSP2CON1 control the same features for

two different modules.

19.3.1 REGISTERS

Each MSSP module has four registers for SPI mode

operation. These are:

• MSSPx Control Register 1 (SSPxCON1)

• MSSPx Status Register (SSPxSTAT)

• Serial Receive/Transmit Buffer Register

(SSPxBUF)

• MSSPx Shift Register (SSPxSR) – Not directly

accessible

SSPxCON1 and SSPxSTAT are the control and status

registers in SPI mode operation. The SSPxCON1

the SSPxSTAT are read-only. The upper two bits of the

SSPxSTAT are read/write.

SSPxSR is the shift register used for shifting data in or

out. SSPxBUF is the buffer register to which data

bytes are written to or read from.

In receive operations, SSPxSR and SSPxBUF

together create a double-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

double-buffered. A write to SSPxBUF will write to both

SSPxBUF and SSPxSR.

PIC18F87J11 FAMILY

19.3.2 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)

Each MSSP module consists of a transmit/receive shift

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 (SSPxSTAT<0>) 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 transmis-

sion/reception of data will be ignored and the Write

Collision Detect bit, WCOL (SSPxCON1<7>), will be

set. User software must clear the WCOL bit so that it

can be determined if the following write(s) to the

SSPxBUF register completed 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 (SSPxSTAT<0>), 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. Example 19-1 shows the

loading of the SSPxBUF (SSPxSR) for data

transmission.

The SSPxSR is not directly readable or writable and

can only be accessed by addressing the SSPxBUF

the various status conditions.

19.3.3 OPEN-DRAIN OUTPUT OPTION

The drivers for the SDOx output and SCKx clock pins

can be optionally configured as open-drain outputs.

This feature allows the voltage level on the pin to be

pulled to a higher level through an external pull-up

resistor, and allows the output to communicate with

external circuits without the need for additional level

shifters. For more information, see Section 10.1.4

“Open-Drain Outputs”.

The open-drain output option is controlled by the

SPI2OD and SPI1OD bits (ODCON3<1:0>). Setting an

SPIxOD bit configures the SDOx and SCKx pins for the

corresponding module for open-drain operation.

The ODCON3 register shares the same address as the

T1CON register. The ODCON3 register is accessed by

setting the ADSHR bit in the WDTCON register

(WDTCON<4>).

PIC18F87J11 FAMILY

19.3.4 ENABLING SPI I/O

To enable the serial port, MSSP Enable bit, SSPEN

(SSPxCON1<5>), must be set. To reset or reconfigure

SPI mode, clear the SSPEN bit, reinitialize the

SSPxCON registers and then set the SSPEN bit. This

configures the SDIx, SDOx, SCKx and SSx pins as

serial port pins. For the pins to behave as the serial port

function, some must have their data direction bits (in

the TRIS register) appropriately programmed as

follows:

• SDIx is automatically controlled by the

SPI module

• SDOx must have the TRISC<5> or TRISD<4> bit

cleared

• SCKx (Master mode) must have the TRISC<3> or

TRISD<6>bit cleared

• SCKx (Slave mode) must have the TRISC<3> or

TRISD<6> bit set

• SSx must have the TRISF<7> or TRISD<7> 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.

19.3.5 TYPICAL CONNECTION

Figure 19-2 shows a typical connection between two

microcontrollers. The master controller (Processor 1)

initiates the data transfer by sending the SCKx signal.

Data is shifted out of both shift registers on their pro-

grammed clock edge and latched on the opposite edge

of the clock. Both processors should be programmed to

the same Clock Polarity (CKP), then both controllers

would send and receive data at the same time.

Whether the data is meaningful (or dummy data)

depends on the application software. This leads to

three scenarios for data transmission:

• Master sends data – Slave sends dummy data

• Master sends data – Slave sends data

• Master sends dummy data – Slave sends data

19.3.6 MASTER MODE

The master can initiate the data transfer at any time

because it controls the SCKx. The master determines

when the slave (Processor 1, Figure 19-2) 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). This could be useful in receiver

applications as a “Line Activity Monitor” mode.

The clock polarity is selected by appropriately

programming the CKP bit (SSPxCON1<4>). This then,

would give waveforms for SPI communication as

shown in Figure 19-3, Figure 19-5 and Figure 19-6,

where the MSB is transmitted first. In Master mode, the

SPI clock rate (bit rate) is user programmable to be one

of the following:

•F

OSC/4 (or TCY)

•FOSC/16 (or 4 • TCY)

•F

OSC/64 (or 16 • TCY)

• Timer2 output/2

This allows a maximum data rate (at 40 MHz) of

10.00 Mbps.

Figure 19-3 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.

19.3.7 SLAVE MODE

In Slave mode, the data is transmitted and received as

the external clock pulses appear on SCKx. When the

last bit is latched, the SSPxIF interrupt flag bit is set.

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. When a byte is received, the device can be

configured to wake-up from Sleep.

19.3.8 SLAVE SELECT

SYNCHRONIZATION

The SSx pin allows a Synchronous Slave mode. The

SPI must be in Slave mode with the SSx pin control

enabled (SSPxCON1<3:0> = 04h). 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. Exter-

nal pull-up/pull-down resistors may be desirable

depending on the application.

When the SPI module resets, the bit counter is forced

to ‘0’. This can be done by either forcing the SSx pin to

a high level or clearing the SSPEN bit.

To emulate two-wire communication, the SDOx pin can

be connected to the SDIx pin. When the SPI needs to

operate as a receiver, the SDOx pin can be configured

as an input. This disables transmissions from the

SDOx. The SDIx can always be left as an input (SDI

function) since it cannot create a bus conflict.

FIGURE 19-4: SLAVE SYNCHRONIZATION WAVEFORM

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: If the SPI is used in Slave mode with CKE

set, then the SSx pin control must be

enabled.

19.3.9 OPERATION IN POWER-MANAGED

MODES

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.

In Idle modes, a clock is provided to the peripherals.

That clock can be from the primary clock source, the

secondary clock (Timer1 oscillator) or the INTOSC

source. See Section 2.3 “Clock Sources and

Oscillator Switching” for additional information.

In most cases, the speed that the master clocks SPI

data is not important; however, this should be

evaluated for each system.

If MSSP interrupts are enabled, they can wake the con-

troller from Sleep mode, or one of the Idle modes, when

the master completes sending data. If an exit from

Sleep or Idle mode is not desired, MSSP interrupts

should be disabled.

If the Sleep mode is selected, all module clocks are

halted and the transmission/reception will remain in

that state until the device wakes. After the device

returns to Run mode, the module will resume

transmitting and receiving data.

In SPI Slave mode, the SPI Transmit/Receive Shift

allows the device to be placed in any power-managed

mode and data to be shifted into the SPI Trans-

mit/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.

19.3.10 EFFECTS OF A RESET

A Reset disables the MSSP module and terminates the

current transfer.

19.3.11 BUS MODE COMPATIBILITY

Table 19-1 shows the compatibility between the

standard SPI modes and the states of the CKP and

CKE control bits.

TABLE 19-1: SPI BUS MODES

There is also an SMP bit which controls when the data

is sampled.

19.3.12 SPI CLOCK SPEED AND MODULE

INTERACTIONS

Because MSSP1 and MSSP2 are independent

modules, they can operate simultaneously at different

data rates. Setting the SSPM3:SSPM0 bits of the

SSPxCON1 register determines the rate for the

corresponding module.

An exception is when both modules use Timer2 as a

time base in Master mode. In this instance, any

changes to the Timer2 module’s operation will affect

both MSSP modules equally. If different bit rates are

required for each module, the user should select one of

the other three time base options for one of the

modules.

19.4 I2C Mode

The MSSP module in I2C mode fully implements all

master and slave functions (including general call

support), and provides interrupts on Start and Stop bits

in hardware to determine a free bus (multi-master

function). The MSSP module implements the standard

mode specifications, as well as 7-bit and 10-bit

addressing.

Two pins are used for data transfer:

• Serial Clock (SCLx) – RC3/SCK1/SCL1 or

RD6/SCK2/SCL2

• Serial Data (SDAx) – RC4/SDI1/SDA1 or

RD5/SDI2/SDA2

The user must configure these pins as inputs by setting

the associated TRIS bits.

FIGURE 19-7: MSSP BLOCK DIAGRAM

(I2C™ MODE)

19.4.1 REGISTERS

The MSSP module has six registers for I2C operation.

These are:

• MSSPx Control Register 1 (SSPxCON1)

• MSSPx Control Register 2 (SSPxCON2)

• MSSPx Status Register (SSPxSTAT)

• Serial Receive/Transmit Buffer Register

(SSPxBUF)

• MSSPx Shift Register (SSPxSR) – Not directly

accessible

• MSSPx Address Register (SSPxADD)

•I

2C Slave Address Mask Register (SSPxMSK)

SSPxCON1, SSPxCON2 and SSPxSTAT are the

control and status registers in I2C mode operation. The

SSPxCON1 and SSPxCON2 registers are readable and

writable. The lower 6 bits of the SSPxSTAT are

read-only. The upper two bits of the SSPxSTAT are

read/write.

SSPxSR is the shift register used for shifting data in or

out. SSPxBUF is the buffer register to which data

bytes are written to or read from.

SSPxADD contains the slave device address when the

MSSP is configured in I2C Slave mode. When the

MSSP is configured in Master mode, the lower seven

bits of SSPxADD act as the Baud Rate Generator

reload value.

SSPxMSK holds the slave address mask value when

the module is configured for 7-bit Address Masking

mode. While it is a separate register, it shares the same

SFR address as SSPxADD; it is only accessible when

the SSPM3:SSPM0 bits are specifically set to permit

access. Additional details are provided in

Section 19.4.3.4 “7-Bit Address Masking Mode”.

In receive operations, SSPxSR and SSPxBUF

together, create a double-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

double-buffered. A write to SSPxBUF will write to both

SSPxBUF and SSPxSR.

PIC18F87J11 FAMILY

19.4.2 OPERATION

The MSSP module functions are enabled by setting the

MSSP Enable bit, SSPEN (SSPxCON1<5>).

The SSPxCON1 register allows control of the I2C

operation. Four mode selection bits (SSPxCON1<3:0>)

allow one of the following I2C modes to be selected:

•I

2C Master mode, clock

•I

2C Slave mode (7-bit address)

•I

2C Slave mode (10-bit address)

•I

2C Slave mode (7-bit address) with Start and

Stop bit interrupts enabled

•I

2C Slave mode (10-bit address) with Start and

Stop bit interrupts enabled

•I

2C Firmware Controlled Master mode, slave is

Idle

Selection of any I2C mode with the SSPEN bit set

forces the SCLx and SDAx pins to be open-drain,

provided these pins are programmed as inputs by

setting the appropriate TRISC or TRISD bits. To ensure

proper operation of the module, pull-up resistors must

be provided externally to the SCLx and SDAx pins.

19.4.3 SLAVE MODE

In Slave mode, the SCLx and SDAx pins must be

configured as inputs (TRISC<4:3> set). The MSSP

module will override the input state with the output data

when required (slave-transmitter).

The I2C Slave mode hardware will always generate an

interrupt on an address match. Address masking will

allow the hardware to generate an interrupt for more

than one address (up to 31 in 7-bit addressing and up

to 63 in 10-bit addressing). Through the mode select

bits, the user can also choose to interrupt on Start and

Stop bits.

When an address is matched, or the data transfer after

an address match is received, the hardware auto-

matically will generate the Acknowledge (ACK) pulse

and load the SSPxBUF register with the received value

currently in the SSPxSR register.

Any combination of the following conditions will cause

the MSSP module not to give this ACK pulse:

• The Buffer Full bit, BF (SSPxSTAT<0>), was set

before the transfer was received.

• The overflow bit, SSPOV (SSPxCON1<6>), was

set before the transfer was received.

In this case, the SSPxSR register value is not loaded

into the SSPxBUF, but bit SSPxIF is set. The BF bit is

cleared by reading the SSPxBUF register, while bit

SSPOV is cleared through software.

The SCLx clock input must have a minimum high and

low for proper operation. The high and low times of the

I2C specification, as well as the requirement of the

MSSP module, are shown in timing parameter 100 and

parameter 101.

19.4.3.1 Addressing

Once the MSSP module has been enabled, it waits for

a Start condition to occur. Following the Start condition,

the 8 bits are shifted into the SSPxSR register. All

incoming bits are sampled with the rising edge of the

clock (SCLx) line. The value of register, SSPxSR<7:1>,

is compared to the value of the SSPxADD register. The

address is compared on the falling edge of the eighth

clock (SCLx) pulse. If the addresses match and the BF

and SSPOV bits are clear, the following events occur:

1. The SSPxSR register value is loaded into the

SSPxBUF register.

2. The Buffer Full bit, BF, is set.

3. An ACK pulse is generated.

4. The MSSP Interrupt Flag bit, SSPxIF, is set (and

interrupt is generated, if enabled) on the falling

edge of the ninth SCLx pulse.

In 10-Bit Addressing mode, two address bytes need to

be received by the slave. The five Most Significant bits

(MSbs) of the first address byte specify if this is a 10-bit

address. Bit R/W (SSPxSTAT<2>) must specify a write

so the slave device will receive the second address

byte. For a 10-bit address, the first byte would equal

‘11110 A9 A8 0’, where ‘A9’ and ‘A8’ are the two

MSbs of the address. The sequence of events for 10-bit

addressing is as follows, with steps 7 through 9 for the

slave-transmitter:

1. Receive first (high) byte of address (bits SSPxIF,

BF and UA are set on address match).

2. Update the SSPxADD register with second (low)

byte of address (clears bit UA and releases the

SCLx line).

3. Read the SSPxBUF register (clears bit, BF) and

clear flag bit, SSPxIF.

4. Receive second (low) byte of address (bits

SSPxIF, BF and UA are set).

5. Update the SSPxADD register with the first

(high) byte of address. If match releases SCLx

line, this will clear bit UA.

6. Read the SSPxBUF register (clears bit BF) and

clear flag bit SSPxIF.

7. Receive Repeated Start condition.

8. Receive first (high) byte of address (bits SSPxIF

and BF are set).

9. Read the SSPxBUF register (clears bit BF) and

clear flag bit, SSPxIF.

PIC18F87J11 FAMILY

19.4.3.2 Address Masking Modes

Masking an address bit causes that bit to become a

“don’t care”. When one address bit is masked, two

addresses will be Acknowledged and cause an

interrupt. It is possible to mask more than one address

bit at a time, which greatly expands the number of

addresses Acknowledged.

The I2C Slave behaves the same way whether address

masking is used or not. However, when address

masking is used, the I2C slave can Acknowledge

multiple addresses and cause interrupts. When this

occurs, it is necessary to determine which address

caused the interrupt by checking the SSPxBUF.

The PIC18F87J11 Family of devices is capable of using

two different Address Masking modes in I2C Slave

operation: 5-Bit Address Masking and 7-Bit Address

Masking. The Masking mode is selected at device

configuration using the MSSPMSK Configuration bit.

The default device configuration is 7-Bit Address

Masking.

Both Masking modes, in turn, support address masking

of 7-bit and 10-bit addresses. The combination of

Masking modes and addresses provide different

ranges of Acknowledgable addresses for each

combination.

While both Masking modes function in roughly the

same manner, the way they use address masks are

different.

19.4.3.3 5-Bit Address Masking Mode

As the name implies, 5-Bit Address Masking mode

uses an address mask of up to 5 bits to create a range

of addresses to be Acknowledged, using bits 5 through

1 of the incoming address. This allows the module to

Acknowledge up to 31 addresses when using 7-bit

addressing, or 63 addresses with 10-bit addressing

(see Example 19-2). This Masking mode is selected

when the MSSPMSK Configuration bit is programmed

(‘0’).

The address mask in this mode is stored in the

SSPxCON2 register, which stops functioning as a con-

trol register in I2C Slave mode (Register 19-6). In 7-Bit

Address Masking mode, address mask bits,

ADMSK<5:1> (SSPxCON2<5:1>), mask the corre-

sponding address bits in the SSPxADD register. For

any ADMSK bits that are set (ADMSK<n> = 1), the cor-

responding address bit is ignored (SSPxADD<n> = x).

For the module to issue an address Acknowledge, it is

sufficient to match only on addresses that do not have

an active address mask.

In 10-Bit Address Masking mode, bits ADMSK<5:2>

mask the corresponding address bits in the SSPxADD

the two LSbs of the address (SSPxADD<1:0>). For any

ADMSK bits that are active (ADMSK<n> = 1), the cor-

responding address bit is ignored (SPxADD<n> = x).

Also note, that although in 10-Bit Address Masking

mode, the upper address bits reuse part of the

SSPxADD register bits. The address mask bits do not

interact with those bits; they only affect the lower

address bits.

EXAMPLE 19-2: ADDRESS MASKING EXAMPLES IN 5-BIT MASKING MODE

Note 1: ADMSK1 masks the two Least Significant

bits of the address.

2: The two Most Significant bits of the

address are not affected by address

masking.

7-Bit Addressing:

SSPADD<7:1>= A0h (1010000) (SSPADD<0> is assumed to be ‘0’)

ADMSK<5:1> = 00111

Addresses Acknowledged: A0h, A2h, A4h, A6h, A8h, AAh, ACh, AEh

10-Bit Addressing:

SSPADD<7:0> = A0h (10100000) (The two MSb of the address are ignored in this example, since they

are not affected by masking)

ADMSK<5:1> = 00111

Addresses Acknowledged: A0h, A1h, A2h, A3h, A4h, A5h, A6h, A7h, A8h, A9h, AAh, ABh, ACh, ADh,

AEh, AFh

PIC18F87J11 FAMILY

19.4.3.4 7-Bit Address Masking Mode

Unlike 5-bit masking, 7-Bit Address Masking mode

uses a mask of up to 8 bits (in 10-bit addressing) to

define a range of addresses than can be Acknowl-

edged, using the lowest bits of the incoming address.

This allows the module to Acknowledge up to 127 dif-

ferent addresses with 7-bit addressing, or 255 with

10-bit addressing (see Example 19-3). This mode is

the default configuration of the module, and is selected

when MSSPMSK is unprogrammed (‘1’).

The address mask for 7-Bit Address Masking mode is

stored in the SSPxMSK register, instead of the

SSPxCON2 register. SSPxMSK is a separate hard-

ware register within the module, but it is not directly

addressable. Instead, it shares an address in the SFR

space with the SSPxADD register. To access the

SSPxMSK register, it is necessary to select MSSP

mode, ‘1001’ (SSPCON1<3:0> = 1001), and then read

or write to the location of SSPxADD.

To use 7-Bit Address Masking mode, it is necessary to

initialize SSPxMSK with a value before selecting the

I2C Slave Addressing mode. Thus, the required

sequence of events is:

1. Select SSPxMSK Access mode

(SSPxCON2<3:0> = 1001).

2. Write the mask value to the appropriate

SSPADD register address (FC8h for MSSP1,

F6Eh for MSSP2).

3. Set the appropriate I2C Slave mode

(SSPxCON2<3:0> = 0111 for 10-bit

addressing, 0110 for 7-bit addressing).

Setting or clearing mask bits in SSPxMSK behaves in

the opposite manner of the ADMSK bits in 5-Bit

Address Masking mode. That is, clearing a bit in

SSPxMSK causes the corresponding address bit to be

masked; setting the bit requires a match in that

position. SSPxMSK resets to all ‘1’s upon any Reset

condition and, therefore, has no effect on the standard

MSSP operation until written with a mask value.

With 7-bit addressing, SSPxMSK<7:1> bits mask the

corresponding address bits in the SSPxADD register.

For any SSPxMSK bits that are active

(SSPxMSK<n> = 0), the corresponding SSPxADD

address bit is ignored (SSPxADD<n> = x). For the

module to issue an address Acknowledge, it is suffi-

cient to match only on addresses that do not have an

active address mask.

With 10-bit addressing, SSPxMSK<7:0> bits mask the

corresponding address bits in the SSPxADD register.

For any SSPxMSK bits that are active (= 0), the corre-

sponding SSPxADD address bit is ignored

(SSPxADD<n> = x).

EXAMPLE 19-3: ADDRESS MASKING EXAMPLES IN 7-BIT MASKING MODE

Note: The two Most Significant bits of the

address are not affected by address

masking.

7-Bit Addressing:

SSPxADD<7:1> = 1010 000

SSPxMSK<7:1> = 1111 001

Addresses Acknowledged = A8h, A6h, A4h, A0h

10-Bit Addressing:

SSPxADD<7:0> = 1010 0000 (The two MSb are ignored in this example since they are not affected)

SSPxMSK<5:1> = 1111 0

Addresses Acknowledged = A8h, A6h, A4h, A0h

PIC18F87J11 FAMILY

19.4.3.5 Reception

When the R/W bit of the address byte is clear and an

address match occurs, the R/W bit of the SSPxSTAT

the SSPxBUF register and the SDAx line is held low

(ACK).

When the address byte overflow condition exists, then

the no Acknowledge (ACK) pulse is given. An overflow

condition is defined as either bit, BF (SSPxSTAT<0>),

is set or bit, SSPOV (SSPxCON1<6>), is set.

An MSSP interrupt is generated for each data transfer

byte. The interrupt flag bit, SSPxIF, must be cleared in

software. The SSPxSTAT register is used to determine

the status of the byte.

If SEN is enabled (SSPxCON2<0> = 1), SCLx will be

held low (clock stretch) following each data transfer. The

clock must be released by setting bit, CKP

(SSPxCON1<4>). See Section 19.4.4 “Clock

Stretching” for more details.

19.4.3.6 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. The ACK pulse will

be sent on the ninth bit and pin SCLx is held low regard-

less of SEN (see Section 19.4.4 “Clock Stretching”

for more details). 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, pin SCLx should

be enabled by setting bit, CKP (SSPxCON1<4>). 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 (Figure 19-10).

The ACK pulse from the master-receiver is latched on

the rising edge of the ninth SCLx input pulse. If the

SDAx line is high (not ACK), then the data transfer is

complete. In this case, when the ACK is latched by the

slave, the slave logic is reset and the slave monitors 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, pin SCLx must be

enabled by setting bit, CKP.

An MSSP interrupt is generated for each data transfer

byte. The SSPxIF bit must be cleared in 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.

19.4.4 CLOCK STRETCHING

Both 7-Bit and 10-Bit Slave modes implement

automatic clock stretching during a transmit sequence.

The SEN bit (SSPxCON2<0>) allows clock stretching

to be enabled during receives. Setting SEN will cause

the SCLx pin to be held low at the end of each data

receive sequence.

19.4.4.1 Clock Stretching for 7-Bit Slave

Receive Mode (SEN = 1)

In 7-Bit Slave Receive mode, on the falling edge of the

ninth clock at the end of the ACK sequence, if the BF

bit is set, the CKP bit in the SSPxCON1 register is

automatically cleared, forcing the SCLx output to be

held low. The CKP bit being cleared to ‘0’ will assert

the SCLx line low. The CKP bit must be set in the

user’s ISR before reception is allowed to continue. By

holding the SCLx line low, the user has time to service

the ISR and read the contents of the SSPxBUF before

the master device can initiate another receive

sequence. This will prevent buffer overruns from

occurring (see Figure 19-15).

19.4.4.2 Clock Stretching for 10-Bit Slave

Receive Mode (SEN = 1)

In 10-Bit Slave Receive mode, during the address

sequence, clock stretching automatically takes place

but CKP is not cleared. During this time, if the UA bit is

set after the ninth clock, clock stretching is initiated.

The UA bit is set after receiving the upper byte of the

10-bit address and following the receive of the second

byte of the 10-bit address with the R/W bit cleared to

‘0’. The release of the clock line occurs upon updating

SSPxADD. Clock stretching will occur on each data

receive sequence as described in 7-bit mode.

19.4.4.3 Clock Stretching for 7-Bit Slave

Transmit Mode

The 7-Bit Slave Transmit mode implements clock

stretching by clearing the CKP bit after the falling edge

of the ninth clock if the BF bit is clear. This occurs

regardless of the state of the SEN bit.

The user’s ISR must set the CKP bit before transmis-

sion is allowed to continue. By holding the SCLx line

low, the user has time to service the ISR and load the

contents of the SSPxBUF before the master device

can initiate another transmit sequence (see

Figure 19-10).

19.4.4.4 Clock Stretching for 10-Bit Slave

Transmit Mode

In 10-Bit Slave Transmit mode, clock stretching is

controlled during the first two address sequences by

the state of the UA bit, just as it is in 10-Bit Slave

Receive mode. The first two addresses are followed

by a third address sequence, which contains the

high-order bits of the 10-bit address and the R/W bit

set to ‘1’. After the third address sequence is

performed, the UA bit is not set, the module is now

configured in Transmit mode and clock stretching is

controlled by the BF flag as in 7-Bit Slave Transmit

mode (see Figure 19-13).

Note 1: If the user reads the contents of the

SSPxBUF before the falling edge of the

ninth clock, thus clearing the BF bit, the

CKP bit will not be cleared and clock

stretching will not occur.

2: The CKP bit can be set in software

regardless of the state of the BF bit. The

user should be careful to clear the BF bit

in the ISR before the next receive

sequence in order to prevent an overflow

condition.

Note: If the user polls the UA bit and clears it by

updating the SSPxADD register before the

falling edge of the ninth clock occurs, and

if the user hasn’t cleared the BF bit by

reading the SSPxBUF register before that

time, then the CKP bit will still NOT be

asserted low. Clock stretching on the basis

of the state of the BF bit only occurs during

a data sequence, not an address

sequence.

Note 1: If the user loads the contents of

SSPxBUF, setting the BF bit before the

falling edge of the ninth clock, the CKP bit

will not be cleared and clock stretching

will not occur.

2: The CKP bit can be set in software

regardless of the state of the BF bit.

19.4.4.5 Clock Synchronization and

the CKP bit

When the CKP bit is cleared, the SCLx output is forced

to ‘0’. 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 deasserted SCLx. This

ensures that a write to the CKP bit will not violate the

minimum high time requirement for SCLx (see

Figure 19-14).

19.4.5 GENERAL CALL ADDRESS

SUPPORT

The addressing procedure for the I2C bus is such that

the first byte after the Start condition usually

determines which device will be the slave addressed by

the master. The exception is the general call address

which can address all devices. When this address is

used, all devices should, in theory, respond with an

Acknowledge.

The general call address is one of eight addresses

reserved for specific purposes by the I2C protocol. It

consists of all ‘0’s with R/W = 0.

The general call address is recognized when the

General Call Enable bit, GCEN, is enabled

(SSPxCON2<7> set). Following a Start bit detect, 8 bits

are shifted into the SSPxSR and the address is

compared against the SSPxADD. It is also compared to

the general call address and fixed in hardware.

If the general call address matches, the SSPxSR is

transferred to the SSPxBUF, the BF flag bit is set

(eighth bit), and on the falling edge of the ninth bit (ACK

bit), the SSPxIF interrupt flag bit is set.

When the interrupt is serviced, the source for the

interrupt can be checked by reading the contents of the

SSPxBUF. The value can be used to determine if the

address was device-specific or a general call address.

In 10-Bit Addressing mode, the SSPxADD is required

to be updated for the second half of the address to

match and the UA bit is set (SSPxSTAT<1>). If the gen-

eral call address is sampled when the GCEN bit is set,

while the slave is configured in 10-Bit Addressing

mode, then the second half of the address is not

necessary, the UA bit will not be set and the slave will

begin receiving data after the Acknowledge

(Figure 19-17).

19.4.6 MASTER MODE

Master mode is enabled by setting and clearing the

appropriate SSPM bits in SSPxCON1 and by setting

the SSPEN bit. In Master mode, the SCLx and SDAx

lines are manipulated by the MSSP hardware if the

TRIS bits are set.

Master mode of operation is supported by interrupt

generation on the detection of the Start and Stop

conditions. The Stop (P) and Start (S) bits are cleared

from a Reset or when the MSSP module is disabled.

Control of the I2C bus may be taken when the P bit is

set, or the bus is Idle, with both the S and P bits clear.

In Firmware Controlled Master mode, user code

conducts all I2C bus operations based on Start and

Stop bit conditions.

Once Master mode is enabled, the user has six

options.

1. Assert a Start condition on SDAx and SCLx.

2. Assert a Repeated Start condition on SDAx and

SCLx.

3. Write to the SSPxBUF register initiating

transmission of data/address.

4. Configure the I2C port to receive data.

5. Generate an Acknowledge condition at the end

of a received byte of data.

6. Generate a Stop condition on SDAx and SCLx.

The following events will cause the MSSP Interrupt

Flag bit, SSPxIF, to be set (and MSSP interrupt, if

enabled):

• Start condition

• Stop condition

• Data transfer byte transmitted/received

• Acknowledge transmitted

• Repeated Start

FIGURE 19-18: MSSP BLOCK DIAGRAM (I2C™ MASTER MODE)

Note: The MSSP module, when configured in

I2C Master mode, does not allow queueing

of events. For instance, the user is not

allowed to initiate a Start condition and

immediately write the 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.

19.4.6.1 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

contains the slave address of the transmitting device

(7 bits) and the R/W bit. In this case, the R/W bit will be

logic ‘1’. Thus, the first byte transmitted is a 7-bit slave

address, followed by a ‘1’ to indicate the receive bit.

Serial data is received via 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.

The Baud Rate Generator, used for the SPI mode

operation, is used to set the SCLx clock frequency for

either 100 kHz, 400 kHz or 1 MHz I2C operation. See

Section 19.4.7 “Baud Rate” for more details.

A typical transmit sequence would go as follows:

1. The user generates a Start condition by setting

the Start Enable bit, SEN (SSPxCON2<0>).

2. SSPxIF is set. The MSSP module will wait the

required start time before any other operation

takes place.

3. The user loads the SSPxBUF with the slave

address to transmit.

4. Address is shifted out the SDAx pin until all 8 bits

are transmitted.

5. The MSSP module shifts in the ACK bit from the

slave device and writes its value into the

SSPxCON2 register (SSPxCON2<6>).

6. The MSSP module generates an interrupt at the

end of the ninth clock cycle by setting the

SSPxIF bit.

7. The user loads the SSPxBUF with eight bits of

data.

8. Data is shifted out the SDAx pin until all 8 bits

are transmitted.

9. The MSSP module shifts in the ACK bit from the

slave device and writes its value into the

SSPxCON2 register (SSPxCON2<6>).

10. The MSSP module generates an interrupt at the

end of the ninth clock cycle by setting the

SSPxIF bit.

11. The user generates a Stop condition by setting

the Stop Enable bit, PEN (SSPxCON2<2>).

12. Interrupt is generated once the Stop condition is

complete.

PIC18F87J11 FAMILY

19.4.7 BAUD RATE

In I2C Master mode, the Baud Rate Generator (BRG)

reload value is placed in the lower 7 bits of the

SSPxADD register (Figure 19-19). When a write

occurs to SSPxBUF, the Baud Rate Generator will

automatically begin counting. The BRG counts down to

0 and stops until another reload has taken place. The

BRG count is decremented twice per instruction cycle

CY) on the Q2 and Q4 clocks. In I2C Master mode, the

BRG is reloaded automatically.

Once the given operation is complete (i.e., transmis-

sion of the last data bit is followed by ACK), the internal

clock will automatically stop counting and the SCLx pin

will remain in its last state.

Table 19-3 demonstrates clock rates based on

instruction cycles and the BRG value loaded into

SSPxADD.

19.4.7.1 Baud Rate and Module

Interdependence

Because MSSP1 and MSSP2 are independent, they

can operate simultaneously in I2C Master mode at

different baud rates. This is done by using different

BRG reload values for each module.

Because this mode derives its basic clock source from

the system clock, any changes to the clock will affect

both modules in the same proportion. It may be

possible to change one or both baud rates back to a

previous value by changing the BRG reload value.

100 kHz) in all details, but may be used with care where higher rates are required by the application.

PIC18F87J11 FAMILY

19.4.7.2 Clock Arbitration

Clock arbitration occurs when the master, during any

receive, transmit or Repeated Start/Stop condition,

deasserts 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<6:0> 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 19-20).

19.4.8 I2C MASTER MODE START

CONDITION TIMING

To initiate a Start condition, the user sets the Start

Enable bit, SEN (SSPxCON2<0>). If the SDAx and

SCLx pins are sampled high, the Baud Rate Generator

is reloaded with the contents of SSPxADD<6:0> 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 condi-

tion and causes the S bit (SSPxSTAT<3>) to be set.

Following this, the Baud Rate Generator is reloaded

with the contents of SSPxADD<6:0> and resumes its

count. When the Baud Rate Generator times out

(TBRG), the SEN bit (SSPxCON2<0>) will be

automatically cleared by hardware. The Baud Rate

Generator is suspended, leaving the SDAx line held low

and the Start condition is complete.

19.4.8.1 WCOL Status Flag

If the user writes the SSPxBUF when a Start sequence

is in progress, the WCOL bit is set and the contents of

the buffer are unchanged (the write doesn’t occur).

FIGURE 19-21: FIRST START BIT TIMING

Note: 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.

Note: Because queueing of events is not

allowed, writing to the lower 5 bits of

SSPxCON2 is disabled until the Start

condition is complete.

19.4.9 I2C MASTER MODE REPEATED

START CONDITION TIMING

A Repeated Start condition occurs when the RSEN bit

(SSPxCON2<1>) is programmed high and the I2C logic

module is in the Idle state. 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 with

the contents of SSPxADD<5:0> and begins counting.

The SDAx pin is released (brought high) for one Baud

Rate Generator count (TBRG). When the Baud Rate

Generator times out and if SDAx is sampled high, the

SCLx pin will be deasserted (brought high). When

SCLx is sampled high, the Baud Rate Generator is

reloaded with the contents of SSPxADD<6:0> 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. Following this, the RSEN bit

(SSPxCON2<1>) 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

(SSPxSTAT<3>) will be set. The SSPxIF bit will not be

set until the Baud Rate Generator has timed out.

Immediately following the SSPxIF bit getting set, the

user may write the SSPxBUF with the 7-bit address in

7-bit mode, or the default first address in 10-bit mode.

After the first eight bits are transmitted and an ACK is

received, the user may then transmit an additional eight

bits of address (10-bit mode) or eight bits of data (7-bit

mode).

19.4.9.1 WCOL Status Flag

If the user writes the SSPxBUF when a Repeated Start

sequence is in progress, the WCOL is set and the

contents of the buffer are unchanged (the write doesn’t

occur).

FIGURE 19-22: REPEATED 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’.

Note: Because queueing of events is not

allowed, writing of the lower 5 bits of

19.4.10 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 sim-

ply 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

transmission. Each bit of address/data will be shifted

out onto the SDAx pin after the falling edge of SCLx is

asserted (see data hold time specification

parameter 106). SCLx is held low for one Baud Rate

Generator rollover count (TBRG). Data should be valid

before SCLx is released high (see data setup time

specification parameter 107). 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 properly. The status of ACK is written into the

ACKDT bit on the falling edge of the ninth clock. If the

master receives an Acknowledge, the Acknowledge

Status bit, ACKSTAT, is cleared; if not, the bit is set.

After the ninth clock, the 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 19-23).

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

deassert 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

(SSPxCON2<6>). Following the falling edge of the

ninth clock transmission of the address, the SSPxIF

flag 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.

19.4.10.1 BF Status Flag

In Transmit mode, the BF bit (SSPxSTAT<0>) is set

when the CPU writes to SSPxBUF and is cleared when

all 8 bits are shifted out.

19.4.10.2 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 doesn’t occur) after

CY after the SSPxBUF write. If SSPxBUF is rewritten

within 2 TCY, the WCOL bit is set and SSPxBUF is

updated. This may result in a corrupted transfer.

The user should verify that the WCOL bit is clear after

each write to SSPxBUF to ensure the transfer is correct.

In all cases, WCOL must be cleared in software.

19.4.10.3 ACKSTAT Status Flag

In Transmit mode, the ACKSTAT bit (SSPxCON2<6>)

is cleared when the slave has sent an Acknowledge

(ACK =0) and is set when the slave does not Acknowl-

edge (ACK = 1). A slave sends an Acknowledge when

it has recognized its address (including a general call),

or when the slave has properly received its data.

19.4.11 I2C MASTER MODE RECEPTION

Master mode reception is enabled by programming the

Receive Enable bit, RCEN (SSPxCON2<3>).

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 bit,

ACKEN (SSPxCON2<4>).

19.4.11.1 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.

19.4.11.2 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.

19.4.11.3 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 doesn’t occur).

Note: The MSSP module must be in an inactive

state before the RCEN bit is set or the

RCEN bit will be disregarded.

19.4.12 ACKNOWLEDGE SEQUENCE

TIMING

An Acknowledge sequence is enabled by setting the

Acknowledge Sequence Enable bit, ACKEN

(SSPxCON2<4>). 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 an inactive state

(Figure 19-25).

19.4.12.1 WCOL Status Flag

If the user writes the SSPxBUF when an Acknowledge

sequence is in progress, then WCOL is set and the

contents of the buffer are unchanged (the write doesn’t

occur).

19.4.13 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 (SSPxCON2<2>). 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

(SSPxSTAT<4>) is set. A TBRG later, the PEN bit is

cleared and the SSPxIF bit is set (Figure 19-26).

19.4.13.1 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 doesn’t

occur).

FIGURE 19-26: STOP CONDITION RECEIVE OR TRANSMIT MODE

19.4.14 SLEEP OPERATION

While in Sleep mode, the I2C module can receive

addresses or data and when an address match or

complete byte transfer occurs, wake the processor

from Sleep (if the MSSP interrupt is enabled).

19.4.15 EFFECTS OF A RESET

A Reset disables the MSSP module and terminates the

current transfer.

19.4.16 MULTI-MASTER MODE

In Multi-Master mode, the interrupt generation on the

detection of the Start and Stop conditions allows the

determination of when the bus is free. The Stop (P) and

Start (S) bits are cleared from a Reset or when the

MSSP module is disabled. Control of the I2C bus may

be taken when the P bit (SSPxSTAT<4>) is set, or the

bus is Idle, with both the S and P bits clear. When the

bus is busy, enabling the MSSP interrupt will generate

the interrupt when the Stop condition occurs.

In multi-master operation, the SDAx line must be

monitored for arbitration to see if the signal level is the

expected output level. This check is performed in

hardware with the result placed in the BCLxIF bit.

The states where arbitration can be lost are:

• Address Transfer

• Data Transfer

• A Start Condition

• A Repeated Start Condition

• An Acknowledge Condition

19.4.17 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 = 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 19-27).

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 services

the bus collision Interrupt Service Routine and if the I2C

bus is free, the user can resume communication by

asserting a Start condition.

If a Start, Repeated Start, Stop or Acknowledge condition

was in progress when the bus collision occurred, the con-

dition is aborted, the SDAx and SCLx lines are

deasserted and the respective control bits in the

SSPxCON2 register are cleared. When the user services

the bus collision Interrupt Service Routine, and if the I2C

bus is free, the user can resume communication by

asserting a Start condition.

The master will 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 determi-

nation 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.

19.4.17.1 Bus Collision During a Start

Condition

During a Start condition, a bus collision occurs if:

a) SDAx or SCLx is sampled low at the beginning

of the Start condition (Figure 19-28).

b) SCLx is sampled low before SDAx is asserted

low (Figure 19-29).

During a Start condition, both the SDAx and the SCLx

pins are monitored.

If the SDAx pin is already low, or the SCLx pin is

already low, then all of the following occur:

• the Start condition is aborted,

• the BCLxIF flag is set and

• the MSSP module is reset to its inactive state

(Figure 19-28)

The Start condition begins with the SDAx and SCLx

pins deasserted. When the SDAx pin is sampled high,

the Baud Rate Generator is loaded from

SSPxADD<6:0> and counts down to 0. 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 19-30). If, however, a ‘1’ is sampled on the

SDAx pin, the SDAx pin is asserted low at the end of

the BRG count. The Baud Rate Generator is then

reloaded and counts down to 0. If the SCLx pin is

sampled as ‘0’ during this time, a bus collision does not

occur. At the end of the BRG count, the SCLx pin is

asserted low.

FIGURE 19-28: BUS COLLISION DURING START CONDITION (SDAx ONLY)

Note: The reason that bus collision is not a factor

during a Start condition is that no two bus

masters can assert a Start condition at the

exact same time. Therefore, one master

will always assert SDAx before the other.

This condition does not cause a bus colli-

sion because the two masters must be

allowed to arbitrate the first address

following the Start condition. If the address

is the same, arbitration must be allowed to

continue into the data portion, Repeated

Start or Stop conditions.

19.4.17.2 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 a low level to a 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 deasserts SDAx and the pin is allowed

to float high, the BRG is loaded with SSPxADD<6:0>

and counts down to 0. 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 19-31). 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 19-32).

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.

19.4.17.3 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<6:0> 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 19-33). 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 19-34).

20.0 ENHANCED UNIVERSAL

SYNCHRONOUS

ASYNCHRONOUS RECEIVER

TRANSMITTER (EUSART)

The Enhanced Universal Synchronous Asynchronous

Receiver Transmitter (EUSART) module is one of two

serial I/O modules. (Generically, the EUSART is also

known as a Serial Communications Interface or SCI.)

The EUSART can be configured as a full-duplex

asynchronous system that can communicate with

peripheral devices, such as CRT terminals and

personal computers. It can also be configured as a

half-duplex synchronous system that can communicate

with peripheral devices, such as A/D or D/A integrated

circuits, serial EEPROMs, etc.

The Enhanced USART module implements additional

features, including automatic baud rate detection and

calibration, automatic wake-up on Sync Break recep-

tion and 12-bit Break character transmit. These make it

ideally suited for use in Local Interconnect Network bus

(LIN bus) systems.

All members of the PIC18F87J11 family are equipped

with two independent EUSART modules, referred to as

EUSART1 and EUSART2. They can be configured in

the following modes:

• Asynchronous (full duplex) with:

- Auto-wake-up on character reception

- Auto-baud calibration

- 12-bit Break character transmission

• Synchronous – Master (half duplex) with

selectable clock polarity

• Synchronous – Slave (half duplex) with selectable

clock polarity

The pins of EUSART1 and EUSART2 are multiplexed

with the functions of PORTC (RC6/TX1/CK1 and

RC7/RX1/DT1) and PORTG (RG1/TX2/CK2 and

RG2/RX2/DT2), respectively. In order to configure

these pins as an EUSART:

• For EUSART1:

- bit SPEN (RCSTA1<7>) must be set (= 1)

- bit TRISC<7> must be set (= 1)

- bit TRISC<6> must be cleared (= 0) for

Asynchronous and Synchronous Master

modes

- bit TRISC<6> must be set (= 1) for

Synchronous Slave mode

• For EUSART2:

- bit SPEN (RCSTA2<7>) must be set (= 1)

- bit TRISG<2> must be set (= 1)

- bit TRISG<1> must be cleared (= 0) for

Asynchronous and Synchronous Master

modes

- bit TRISC<6> must be set (= 1) for

Synchronous Slave mode

The operation of each Enhanced USART module is

controlled through three registers:

• Transmit Status and Control (TXSTAx)

• Receive Status and Control (RCSTAx)

• Baud Rate Control (BAUDCONx)

These are detailed on the following pages in

respectively.

Note: The EUSART control will automatically

reconfigure the pin from input to output as

needed.

Note: Throughout this section, references to

ated with a specific EUSART module are

referred to generically by the use of ‘x’ in

place of the specific module number.

Thus, “RCSTAx” might refer to the

Receive Status register for either

EUSART1 or EUSART2.

20.1 Baud Rate Generator (BRG)

The BRG is a dedicated, 8-bit or 16-bit generator that

supports both the Asynchronous and Synchronous

modes of the EUSART. By default, the BRG operates

in 8-bit mode; setting the BRG16 bit (BAUDCONx<3>)

selects 16-bit mode.

The SPBRGHx:SPBRGx register pair controls the period

of a free-running timer. In Asynchronous mode, bits

BRGH (TXSTAx<2>) and BRG16 (BAUDCONx<3>) also

control the baud rate. In Synchronous mode, BRGH is

ignored. Table 20-1 shows the formula for computation of

the baud rate for different EUSART modes which only

apply in Master mode (internally generated clock).

Given the desired baud rate and FOSC, the nearest

integer value for the SPBRGHx:SPBRGx registers can

be calculated using the formulas in Table 20-1. From this,

the error in baud rate can be determined. An example

calculation is shown in Example 20-1. Typical baud rates

and error values for the various Asynchronous modes

are shown in Table 20-2. It may be advantageous to use

the high baud rate (BRGH = 1) or the 16-bit BRG to

reduce the baud rate error, or achieve a slow baud rate

for a fast oscillator frequency.

Writing a new value to the SPBRGHx:SPBRGx regis-

ters causes the BRG timer to be reset (or cleared). This

ensures the BRG does not wait for a timer overflow

before outputting the new baud rate.

20.1.1 OPERATION IN POWER-MANAGED

MODES

The device clock is used to generate the desired baud

rate. When one of the power-managed modes is

entered, the new clock source may be operating at a

different frequency. This may require an adjustment to

the value in the SPBRGx register pair.

20.1.2 SAMPLING

The data on the RXx pin (either RC7/RX1/DT1 or

RG2/RX2/DT2) is sampled three times by a majority

detect circuit to determine if a high or a low level is

present at the RXx pin.

For a device with FOSC of 16 MHz, desired baud rate of 9600, Asynchronous mode, and 8-bit BRG:

Desired Baud Rate = FOSC/(64 ([SPBRGHx:SPBRGx] + 1))

Solving for SPBRGHx:SPBRGx:

X = ((FOSC/Desired Baud Rate)/64) – 1

= ((16000000/9600)/64) – 1

= [25.042] = 25

Calculated Baud Rate = 16000000/(64 (25 + 1))

= 9615

Error = (Calculated Baud Rate – Desired Baud Rate)/Desired Baud Rate

= (9615 – 9600)/9600 = 0.16%

20.1.3 AUTO-BAUD RATE DETECT

The Enhanced USART module supports the automatic

detection and calibration of baud rate. This feature is

active only in Asynchronous mode and while the WUE

bit is clear.

The automatic baud rate measurement sequence

(Figure 20-1) begins whenever a Start bit is received

and the ABDEN bit is set. The calculation is

self-averaging.

In the Auto-Baud Rate Detect (ABD) mode, the clock to

the BRG is reversed. Rather than the BRG clocking the

incoming RXx signal, the RXx signal is timing the BRG.

In ABD mode, the internal Baud Rate Generator is

used as a counter to time the bit period of the incoming

serial byte stream.

Once the ABDEN bit is set, the state machine will clear

the BRG and look for a Start bit. The Auto-Baud Rate

Detect must receive a byte with the value 55h (ASCII

“U”, which is also the LIN bus Sync character) in order to

calculate the proper bit rate. The measurement is taken

over both a low and a high bit time in order to minimize

any effects caused by asymmetry of the incoming signal.

After a Start bit, the SPBRGx begins counting up, using

the preselected clock source on the first rising edge of

RXx. After eight bits on the RXx pin or the fifth rising

edge, an accumulated value totalling the proper BRG

period is left in the SPBRGHx:SPBRGx register pair.

Once the 5th edge is seen (this should correspond to the

Stop bit), the ABDEN bit is automatically cleared.

If a rollover of the BRG occurs (an overflow from FFFFh

to 0000h), the event is trapped by the ABDOVF status

bit (BAUDCONx<7>). It is set in hardware by BRG roll-

overs and can be set or cleared by the user in software.

ABD mode remains active after rollover events and the

ABDEN bit remains set (Figure 20-2).

While calibrating the baud rate period, the BRG regis-

ters are clocked at 1/8th the preconfigured clock rate.

Note that the BRG clock will be configured by the

BRG16 and BRGH bits. This allows the user to verify

that no carry occurred for 8-bit modes by checking for

00h in the SPBRGHx register. Refer to Table 20-4 for

counter clock rates to the BRG.

While the ABD sequence takes place, the EUSART

state machine is held in Idle. The RCxIF interrupt is set

once the fifth rising edge on RXx is detected. The value

in the RCREGx needs to be read to clear the RCxIF

interrupt. The contents of RCREGx should be

discarded.

TABLE 20-4: BRG COUNTER

CLOCK RATES

20.1.3.1 ABD and EUSART Transmission

Since the BRG clock is reversed during ABD acquisi-

tion, the EUSART transmitter cannot be used during

ABD. This means that whenever the ABDEN bit is set,

TXREGx cannot be written to. Users should also

ensure that ABDEN does not become set during a

transmit sequence. Failing to do this may result in

unpredictable EUSART operation.

Note 1: If the WUE bit is set with the ABDEN bit,

Auto-Baud Rate Detection will occur on

the byte following the Break character.

2: It is up to the user to determine that the

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

due to bit error rates. Overall system tim-

ing and communication baud rates must

be taken into consideration when using the

Auto-Baud Rate Detection feature.

3: Ensure that BRG16 (BAUDCON<3>) is

set, to enable the auto-baud feature.

20.2 EUSART Asynchronous Mode

The Asynchronous mode of operation is selected by

clearing the SYNC bit (TXSTAx<4>). In this mode, the

EUSART uses standard Non-Return-to-Zero (NRZ)

format (one Start bit, eight or nine data bits and one Stop

bit). The most common data format is 8 bits. An on-chip,

dedicated 8-bit/16-bit Baud Rate Generator can be used

to derive standard baud rate frequencies from the

oscillator.

The EUSART transmits and receives the LSb first. The

EUSART’s transmitter and receiver are functionally

independent but use the same data format and baud

rate. The Baud Rate Generator produces a clock, either

x16 or x64 of the bit shift rate, depending on the BRGH

and BRG16 bits (TXSTAx<2> and BAUDCONx<3>).

Parity is not supported by the hardware but can be

implemented in software and stored as the 9th data bit.

When operating in Asynchronous mode, the EUSART

module consists of the following important elements:

• Baud Rate Generator

• Sampling Circuit

• Asynchronous Transmitter

• Asynchronous Receiver

• Auto-Wake-up on Sync Break Character

• 12-Bit Break Character Transmit

• Auto-Baud Rate Detection

20.2.1 EUSART ASYNCHRONOUS

TRANSMITTER

The EUSART transmitter block diagram is shown in

Figure 20-3. The heart of the transmitter is the Transmit

(Serial) Shift Register (TSR). The Shift register obtains

its data from the Read/Write Transmit Buffer register,

TXREGx. The TXREGx register is loaded with data in

software. The TSR register is not loaded until the Stop

bit has been transmitted from the previous load. As

soon as the Stop bit is transmitted, the TSR is loaded

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

Once the TXREGx register transfers the data to the TSR

CY), the TXREGx register is

empty and the TXxIF flag bit is set. This interrupt can be

enabled or disabled by setting or clearing the interrupt

enable bit, TXxIE. TXxIF will be set regardless of the

state of TXxIE; it cannot be cleared in software. TXxIF is

also not cleared immediately upon loading TXREGx, but

becomes valid in the second instruction cycle following

the load instruction. Polling TXxIF immediately following

a load of TXREGx will return invalid results.

While TXxIF indicates the status of the TXREGx regis-

ter; another bit, TRMT (TXSTAx<1>), shows the status

of the TSR register. TRMT is a read-only bit which is set

when the TSR register is empty. No interrupt logic is

tied to this bit so the user has to poll this bit in order to

determine if the TSR register is empty.

To set up an Asynchronous Transmission:

1. Initialize the SPBRGHx:SPBRGx registers for

the appropriate baud rate. Set or clear the

BRGH and BRG16 bits, as required, to achieve

the desired baud rate.

2. Enable the asynchronous serial port by clearing

bit SYNC and setting bit, SPEN.

3. If interrupts are desired, set enable bit, TXxIE.

4. If 9-bit transmission is desired, set transmit bit

TX9. Can be used as address/data bit.

5. Enable the transmission by setting bit, TXEN,

which will also set bit, TXxIF.

6. If 9-bit transmission is selected, the ninth bit

should be loaded in bit, TX9D.

7. Load data to the TXREGx register (starts

transmission).

8. If using interrupts, ensure that the GIE and PEIE

bits in the INTCON register (INTCON<7:6>) are

set.

FIGURE 20-3: EUSART TRANSMIT BLOCK DIAGRAM

Note 1: The TSR register is not mapped in data

memory, so it is not available to the user.

20.2.2 EUSART ASYNCHRONOUS

RECEIVER

The receiver block diagram is shown in Figure 20-6.

The data is received on the RXx pin and drives the data

recovery block. The data recovery block is actually a

high-speed shifter operating at x16 times the baud rate,

whereas the main receive serial shifter operates at the

bit rate or at FOSC. This mode would typically be used

in RS-232 systems.

To set up an Asynchronous Reception:

1. Initialize the SPBRGHx:SPBRGx registers for

the appropriate baud rate. Set or clear the

BRGH and BRG16 bits, as required, to achieve

the desired baud rate.

2. Enable the asynchronous serial port by clearing

bit, SYNC, and setting bit, SPEN.

3. If interrupts are desired, set enable bit, RCxIE.

4. If 9-bit reception is desired, set bit, RX9.

5. Enable the reception by setting bit, CREN.

6. Flag bit, RCxIF, will be set when reception is

complete and an interrupt will be generated if

enable bit, RCxIE, was set.

7. Read the RCSTAx register to get the 9th bit (if

enabled) and determine if any error occurred

during reception.

8. Read the 8-bit received data by reading the

RCREGx register.

9. If any error occurred, clear the error by clearing

enable bit, CREN.

10. If using interrupts, ensure that the GIE and PEIE

bits in the INTCON register (INTCON<7:6>) are

set.

20.2.3 SETTING UP 9-BIT MODE WITH

ADDRESS DETECT

This mode would typically be used in RS-485 systems.

To set up an Asynchronous Reception with Address

Detect Enable:

1. Initialize the SPBRGHx:SPBRGx registers for

the appropriate baud rate. Set or clear the

BRGH and BRG16 bits, as required, to achieve

the desired baud rate.

2. Enable the asynchronous serial port by clearing

the SYNC bit and setting the SPEN bit.

3. If interrupts are required, set the RCEN bit and

select the desired priority level with the RCxIP bit.

4. Set the RX9 bit to enable 9-bit reception.

5. Set the ADDEN bit to enable address detect.

6. Enable reception by setting the CREN bit.

7. The RCxIF bit will be set when reception is

complete. The interrupt will be Acknowledged if

the RCxIE and GIE bits are set.

8. Read the RCSTAx register to determine if any

error occurred during reception, as well as read

bit 9 of data (if applicable).

9. Read RCREGx to determine if the device is

being addressed.

10. If any error occurred, clear the CREN bit.

11. If the device has been addressed, clear the

ADDEN bit to allow all received data into the

receive buffer and interrupt the CPU.

20.2.4 AUTO-WAKE-UP ON SYNC BREAK

CHARACTER

During Sleep mode, all clocks to the EUSART are

suspended. Because of this, the Baud Rate Generator

is inactive and a proper byte reception cannot be per-

formed. The auto-wake-up feature allows the controller

to wake-up due to activity on the RXx/DTx line while the

EUSART is operating in Asynchronous mode.

The auto-wake-up feature is enabled by setting the

WUE bit (BAUDCONx<1>). Once set, the typical

receive sequence on RXx/DTx 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 RXx/DTx line. (This coincides with the start of a

Sync Break or a Wake-up Signal character for the LIN

protocol.)

Following a wake-up event, the module generates an

RCxIF interrupt. The interrupt is generated synchro-

nously to the Q clocks in normal operating modes

(Figure 20-8) and asynchronously if the device is in

Sleep mode (Figure 20-9). The interrupt condition is

cleared by reading the RCREGx register.

The WUE bit is automatically cleared once a low-to-high

transition is observed on the RXx line following the

wake-up event. At this point, the EUSART module is in

Idle mode and returns to normal operation. This signals

to the user that the Sync Break event is over.

20.2.4.1 Special Considerations Using

Auto-Wake-up

Since auto-wake-up functions by sensing rising edge

transitions on RXx/DTx, information with any state

changes before the Stop bit may signal a false

End-of-Character (EOC) and cause data or framing

errors. To work properly, therefore, the initial character

in the transmission must be all ‘0’s. This can be 00h

(8 bytes) for standard RS-232 devices or 000h (12 bits)

for LIN bus.

Oscillator start-up time must also be considered,

especially in applications using oscillators with longer

start-up intervals (i.e., HS or HSPLL 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.

20.2.4.2 Special Considerations Using

the WUE Bit

The timing of WUE and RCxIF events may cause some

confusion when it comes to determining the validity of

received data. As noted, setting the WUE bit places the

EUSART in an Idle mode. The wake-up event causes a

receive interrupt by setting the RCxIF bit. The WUE bit

is cleared after this when a rising edge is seen on

RXx/DTx. The interrupt condition is then cleared by

reading the RCREGx register. Ordinarily, the data in

RCREGx will be dummy data and should be discarded.

The fact that the WUE bit has been cleared (or is still

set) and the RCxIF flag is set should not be used as an

indicator of the integrity of the data in RCREGx. Users

should consider implementing a parallel method in

firmware to verify received data integrity.

To assure that no actual data is lost, check the RCIDL

bit to verify that a receive operation is not in process. If

a receive operation is not occurring, the WUE bit may

then be set just prior to entering the Sleep mode.

20.2.5 BREAK CHARACTER SEQUENCE

The EUSART module has the capability of sending the

special Break character sequences that are required by

the LIN bus standard. The Break character transmit

consists of a Start bit, followed by twelve ‘0’ bits and a

Stop bit. The Frame Break character is sent whenever

the SENDB and TXEN bits (TXSTAx<3> and

TXSTAx<5>) are set while the Transmit Shift Register

is loaded with data. Note that the value of data written

to TXREGx will be ignored and all ‘0’s will be

transmitted.

The SENDB bit is automatically reset by hardware after

the corresponding Stop bit is sent. This allows the user

to preload the transmit FIFO with the next transmit byte

following the Break character (typically, the Sync

character in the LIN specification).

Note that the data value written to the TXREGx for the

Break character is ignored. The write simply serves the

purpose of initiating the proper sequence.

The TRMT bit indicates when the transmit operation is

active or Idle, just as it does during normal transmis-

sion. See Figure 20-10 for the timing of the Break

character sequence.

20.2.5.1 Break and Sync Transmit Sequence

The following sequence will send a message frame

header made up of a Break, followed by an Auto-Baud

Sync byte. This sequence is typical of a LIN bus

master.

1. Configure the EUSART for the desired mode.

2. Set the TXEN and SENDB bits to set up the

Break character.

3. Load the TXREGx with a dummy character to

initiate transmission (the value is ignored).

4. Write ‘55h’ to TXREGx to load the Sync

character into the transmit FIFO buffer.

5. After the Break has been sent, the SENDB bit is

reset by hardware. The Sync character now

transmits in the preconfigured mode.

When the TXREGx becomes empty, as indicated by

the TXxIF, the next data byte can be written to

TXREGx.

20.2.6 RECEIVING A BREAK CHARACTER

The Enhanced USART module can receive a Break

character in two ways.

The first method forces configuration of the baud rate

at a frequency of 9/13 the typical speed. This allows for

the Stop bit transition to be at the correct sampling

location (13 bits for Break versus Start bit and 8 data

bits for typical data).

The second method uses the auto-wake-up feature

described in Section 20.2.4 “Auto-Wake-up on Sync

Break Character”. By enabling this feature, the

EUSART will sample the next two transitions on

RXx/DTx, cause an RCxIF interrupt and receive the

next data byte followed by another interrupt.

Note that following a Break character, the user will

typically want to enable the Auto-Baud Rate Detect

feature. For both methods, the user can set the ABDEN

bit once the TXxIF interrupt is observed.

20.3 EUSART Synchronous

Master Mode

The Synchronous Master mode is entered by setting

the CSRC bit (TXSTAx<7>). In this mode, the data is

transmitted in a half-duplex manner (i.e., transmission

and reception do not occur at the same time). When

transmitting data, the reception is inhibited and vice

versa. Synchronous mode is entered by setting bit,

SYNC (TXSTAx<4>). In addition, enable bit, SPEN

(RCSTAx<7>), is set in order to configure the TXx and

RXx pins to CKx (clock) and DTx (data) lines,

respectively.

The Master mode indicates that the processor trans-

mits the master clock on the CKx line. Clock polarity is

selected with the TXCKP bit (BAUDCONx<4>). Setting

TXCKP sets the Idle state on CKx as high, while clear-

ing the bit sets the Idle state as low. This option is

provided to support Microwire devices with this module.

20.3.1 EUSART SYNCHRONOUS MASTER

TRANSMISSION

The EUSART transmitter block diagram is shown in

Figure 20-3. The heart of the transmitter is the Transmit

(Serial) Shift Register (TSR). The Shift register obtains

its data from the Read/Write Transmit Buffer register,

TXREGx. The TXREGx register is loaded with data in

software. The TSR register is not loaded until the last

bit has been transmitted from the previous load. As

soon as the last bit is transmitted, the TSR is loaded

with new data from the TXREGx (if available).

Once the TXREGx register transfers the data to the

TSR register (occurs in one TCY), the TXREGx is empty

and the TXxIF flag bit is set. The interrupt can be

enabled or disabled by setting or clearing the interrupt

enable bit, TXxIE. TXxIF is set regardless of the state

of enable bit, TXxIE; it cannot be cleared in software. It

will reset only when new data is loaded into the

TXREGx register.

While flag bit, TXxIF, indicates the status of the TXREGx

status of the TSR register. TRMT is a read-only bit which

is set when the TSR is empty. No interrupt logic is tied to

this bit, so the user must poll this bit in order to determine

if the TSR register is empty. The TSR is not mapped in

data memory so it is not available to the user.

To set up a Synchronous Master Transmission:

1. Initialize the SPBRGHx:SPBRGx registers for the

appropriate baud rate. Set or clear the BRG16

bit, as required, to achieve the desired baud rate.

2. Enable the synchronous master serial port by

setting bits, SYNC, SPEN and CSRC.

3. If interrupts are desired, set enable bit, TXxIE.

4. If 9-bit transmission is desired, set bit, TX9.

5. Enable the transmission by setting bit, TXEN.

6. If 9-bit transmission is selected, the ninth bit

should be loaded in bit, TX9D.

7. Start transmission by loading data to the

TXREGx register.

8. If using interrupts, ensure that the GIE and PEIE

bits in the INTCON register (INTCON<7:6>) are

set.

20.3.2 EUSART SYNCHRONOUS

MASTER RECEPTION

Once Synchronous mode is selected, reception is

enabled by setting either the Single Receive Enable bit,

SREN (RCSTAx<5>) or the Continuous Receive

Enable bit, CREN (RCSTAx<4>). Data is sampled on

the RXx pin on the falling edge of the clock.

If enable bit, SREN, is set, only a single word is

received. If enable bit, CREN, is set, the reception is

continuous until CREN is cleared. If both bits are set,

then CREN takes precedence.

To set up a Synchronous Master Reception:

1. Initialize the SPBRGHx:SPBRGx registers for the

appropriate baud rate. Set or clear the BRG16

bit, as required, to achieve the desired baud rate.

2. Enable the synchronous master serial port by

setting bits, SYNC, SPEN and CSRC.

3. Ensure bits, CREN and SREN, are clear.

4. If interrupts are desired, set enable bit, RCxIE.

5. If 9-bit reception is desired, set bit, RX9.

6. If a single reception is required, set bit, SREN.

For continuous reception, set bit, CREN.

7. Interrupt flag bit, RCxIF, will be set when recep-

tion is complete and an interrupt will be generated

if the enable bit, RCxIE, was set.

8. Read the RCSTAx register to get the 9th bit (if

enabled) and determine if any error occurred

during reception.

9. Read the 8-bit received data by reading the

RCREGx register.

10. If any error occurred, clear the error by clearing

bit CREN.

11. If using interrupts, ensure that the GIE and PEIE bits

in the INTCON register (INTCON<7:6>) are set.

20.4 EUSART Synchronous

Slave Mode

Synchronous Slave mode is entered by clearing bit,

CSRC (TXSTAx<7>). This mode differs from the

Synchronous Master mode in that the shift clock is sup-

plied externally at the CKx pin (instead of being supplied

internally in Master mode). This allows the device to

transfer or receive data while in any low-power mode.

20.4.1 EUSART SYNCHRONOUS

SLAVE TRANSMISSION

The operation of the Synchronous Master and Slave

modes is identical, except in the case of Sleep mode.

If two words are written to the TXREGx and then the

SLEEP instruction is executed, the following will occur:

a) The first word will immediately transfer to the

TSR register and transmit.

b) The second word will remain in the TXREGx

c) Flag bit, TXxIF, will not be set.

d) When the first word has been shifted out of TSR,

the TXREGx register will transfer the second

word to the TSR and flag bit, TXxIF, will now be

set.

e) If enable bit, TXxIE, is set, the interrupt will wake

the chip from Sleep. If the global interrupt is

enabled, the program will branch to the interrupt

vector.

To set up a Synchronous Slave Transmission:

1. Enable the synchronous slave serial port by

setting bits, SYNC and SPEN, and clearing bit,

CSRC.

2. Clear bits, CREN and SREN.

3. If interrupts are desired, set enable bit, TXxIE.

4. If 9-bit transmission is desired, set bit, TX9.

5. Enable the transmission by setting enable bit,

TXEN.

6. If 9-bit transmission is selected, the ninth bit

should be loaded in bit, TX9D.

7. Start transmission by loading data to the

RECEPTION

The operation of the Synchronous Master and Slave

modes is identical, except in the case of Sleep, or any

Idle mode and bit, SREN, which is a “don’t care” in

Slave mode.

If receive is enabled by setting the CREN bit prior to

entering Sleep or any Idle mode, then a word may be

received while in this low-power mode. Once the word

is received, the RSR register will transfer the data to the

RCREGx register. If the RCxIE enable bit is set, the

interrupt generated will wake the chip from the

low-power mode. If the global interrupt is enabled, the

program will branch to the interrupt vector.

To set up a Synchronous Slave Reception:

1. Enable the synchronous master serial port by

setting bits, SYNC and SPEN, and clearing bit,

CSRC.

2. If interrupts are desired, set enable bit, RCxIE.

3. If 9-bit reception is desired, set bit, RX9.

4. To enable reception, set enable bit, CREN.

5. Flag bit, RCxIF, will be set when reception is

complete. An interrupt will be generated if

6. Read the RCSTAx register to get the 9th bit (if

enabled) and determine if any error occurred

during reception.

7. Read the 8-bit received data by reading the

21.0 10-BIT ANALOG-TO-DIGITAL

CONVERTER (A/D) MODULE

The Analog-to-Digital (A/D) Converter module has

11 inputs for the 64-pin devices and 15 for the 80-pin

devices. This module allows conversion of an analog

input signal to a corresponding 10-bit digital number.

The module has six registers:

• A/D Control Register 0 (ADCON0)

• A/D Control Register 1 (ADCON1)

• A/D Port Configuration Register 2 (ANCON0)

• A/D Port Configuration Register 1 (ANCON1)

• A/D Result Registers (ADRESH and ADRESL)

The ADCON0 register, shown in Register 21-1,

controls the operation of the A/D module. The

ADCON1 register, shown in Register 21-2, configures

the A/D clock source, programmed acquisition time and

justification.

PIC18F87J11 FAMILY

The ANCON0 and ANCON1 registers are used to

configure the operation of the I/O pin associated with

each analog channel. Setting any one of the PCFG bits

configures the corresponding pin to operate as a digital

only I/O. Clearing a bit configures the pin to operate as

an analog input for either the A/D Converter or the

comparator module; all digital peripherals are disabled,

and digital inputs read as ‘0’. As a rule, I/O pins that are

multiplexed with analog inputs default to analog

operation on device Resets.

ANCON0 and ANCON1 are shared address SFRs, and

use the same addresses as the ADCON1 and

ADCON0 registers. The ANCON registers are

accessed by setting the ADSHR bit (WDTCON<4>).

See Section 5.3.4.1 “Shared Address SFRs” for

more information.

PIC18F87J11 FAMILY

The analog reference voltage is software selectable to

either the device’s positive and negative supply voltage

(AVDD and AVSS), or the voltage level on the

RA3/AN3/VREF+ and RA2/AN2/VREF- pins.

The A/D Converter has a unique feature of being able

to operate while the device is in Sleep mode. To

operate in Sleep, the A/D conversion clock must be

derived from the A/D’s internal RC oscillator.

The output of the sample and hold is the input into the

converter, which generates the result via successive

approximation.

Each port pin associated with the A/D Converter can be

configured as an analog input or as a digital I/O. The

ADRESH and ADRESL registers contain the result of

the A/D conversion. When the A/D conversion is com-

plete, the result is loaded into the ADRESH:ADRESL

cleared and A/D Interrupt Flag bit, ADIF, is set.

A device Reset forces all registers to their Reset state.

This forces the A/D module to be turned off and any

conversion in progress is aborted. The value in the

ADRESH:ADRESL register pair is not modified for a

Power-on Reset. These registers will contain unknown

data after a Power-on Reset.

The block diagram of the A/D module is shown in

Figure 21-1.

After the A/D module has been configured as desired,

the selected channel must be acquired before the

conversion is started. The analog input channels must

have their corresponding TRIS bits selected as an

input. To determine acquisition time, see Section 21.1

“A/D Acquisition Requirements”. After this acquisi-

tion time has elapsed, the A/D conversion can be

started. An acquisition time can be programmed to

occur between setting the GO/DONE bit and the actual

start of the conversion.

The following steps should be followed to do an A/D

conversion:

1. Configure the A/D module:

• Configure the required ADC pins as analog

pins using ANCON0, ANCON1

• Set voltage reference using ADCON0

• Select A/D input channel (ADCON0)

• Select A/D acquisition time (ADCON1)

• Select A/D conversion clock (ADCON1)

• Turn on A/D module (ADCON0)

2. Configure A/D interrupt (if desired):

• Clear ADIF bit

• Set ADIE bit

• Set GIE bit

3. Wait the required acquisition time (if required).

4. Start conversion:

• Set GO/DONE bit (ADCON0<1>)

5. Wait for A/D conversion to complete, by either:

• Polling for the GO/DONE bit to be cleared

• Waiting for the A/D interrupt

6. Read A/D Result registers (ADRESH:ADRESL);

clear bit, ADIF, if required.

7. For next conversion, go to step 1 or step 2, as

required. The A/D conversion time per bit is

defined as T

AD. A minimum wait of 2 TAD is

required before next acquisition starts.

21.1 A/D Acquisition Requirements

For the A/D Converter to meet its specified accuracy,

the charge holding capacitor (CHOLD) must be allowed

to fully charge to the input channel voltage level. The

analog input model is shown in Figure 21-2. The

source impedance (RS) and the internal sampling

switch (RSS) impedance directly affect the time

required to charge the capacitor CHOLD. The sampling

switch (RSS) impedance varies over the device voltage

(VDD). The source impedance affects the offset voltage

at the analog input (due to pin leakage current). The

maximum recommended impedance for analog

sources is 2.5 kΩ. After the analog input channel is

selected (changed), the channel must be sampled for

at least the minimum acquisition time before starting a

conversion.

To calculate the minimum acquisition time,

Equation 21-1 may be used. This equation assumes

that 1/2 LSb error is used (1024 steps for the A/D). The

1/2 LSb error is the maximum error allowed for the A/D

to meet its specified resolution.

Equation 21-3 shows the calculation of the minimum

required acquisition time, T

ACQ. This calculation is

based on the following application system

assumptions:

CHOLD =25 pF

Rs = 2.5 kΩ

Conversion Error ≤1/2 LSb

VDD =3V→Rss = 2 kΩ

Temperature = 85°C (system max.)

input pin.

21.2 Selecting and Configuring

Automatic Acquisition Time

The ADCON1 register allows the user to select an

acquisition time that occurs each time the GO/DONE

bit is set.

When the GO/DONE bit is set, sampling is stopped and

a conversion begins. The user is responsible for ensur-

ing the required acquisition time has passed between

selecting the desired input channel and setting the

GO/DONE bit. This occurs when the ACQT2:ACQT0

bits (ADCON1<5:3>) remain in their Reset state (‘000’)

and is compatible with devices that do not offer

programmable acquisition times.

If desired, the ACQT bits can be set to select a pro-

grammable acquisition time for the A/D module. When

the GO/DONE bit is set, the A/D module continues to

sample the input for the selected acquisition time, then

automatically begins a conversion. Since the acquisi-

tion time is programmed, there may be no need to wait

for an acquisition time between selecting a channel and

setting the GO/DONE bit.

In either case, when the conversion is completed, the

GO/DONE bit is cleared, the ADIF flag is set and the

A/D begins sampling the currently selected channel

again. If an acquisition time is programmed, there is

nothing to indicate if the acquisition time has ended or

if the conversion has begun.

21.3 Selecting the A/D Conversion

Clock

The A/D conversion time per bit is defined as TAD. The

A/D conversion requires 11 T

AD per 10-bit conversion.

The source of the A/D conversion clock is software

selectable.

There are seven possible options for TAD:

•2 T

OSC

•4 TOSC

•8 TOSC

•16 TOSC

•32 TOSC

•64 T

OSC

• Internal RC Oscillator

For correct A/D conversions, the A/D conversion clock

AD) must be as short as possible but greater than the

minimum TAD (see parameter 130 in Table 27-30 for

more information).

Table 21-1 shows the resultant T

AD times derived from

the device operating frequencies and the A/D clock

source selected.

TABLE 21-1: TAD vs. DEVICE OPERATING

FREQUENCIES

21.4 Configuring Analog Port Pins

The ANCON0, ANCON1, TRISA, TRISF and TRISH

registers control the operation of the A/D port pins. The

port pins needed as analog inputs must have their cor-

responding TRIS bits set (input). If the TRIS bit is

cleared (output), the digital output level (VOH or VOL)

will be converted.

The A/D operation is independent of the state of the

CHS3:CHS0 bits and the TRIS bits.

Note 1: The RC source has a typical TAD time of

4μs.

2: For device frequencies above 1 MHz, the

device must be in Sleep mode for the

entire conversion or the A/D accuracy may

be out of specification.

Note 1: When reading the PORT register, all pins

configured as analog input channels will

read as cleared (a low level). Pins config-

ured as digital inputs will convert an

analog input. Analog levels on a digitally

configured input will be accurately

converted.

2: Analog levels on any pin defined as a

digital input may cause the digital input

buffer to consume current out of the

device’s specification limits.

PIC18F87J11 FAMILY

21.5 A/D Conversions

Figure 21-3 shows the operation of the A/D Converter

after the GO/DONE bit has been set and the

ACQT2:ACQT0 bits are cleared. A conversion is

started after the following instruction to allow entry into

Sleep mode before the conversion begins.

Figure 21-4 shows the operation of the A/D Converter

after the GO/DONE bit has been set, the

ACQT2:ACQT0 bits are set to ‘010’ and selecting a

4TAD acquisition time before the conversion starts.

Clearing the GO/DONE bit during a conversion will

abort the current conversion. The A/D Result register

pair will NOT be updated with the partially completed

A/D conversion sample. This means the

ADRESH:ADRESL registers will continue to contain

the value of the last completed conversion (or the last

value written to the ADRESH:ADRESL registers).

After the A/D conversion is completed or aborted, a

AD wait is required before the next acquisition can be

started. After this wait, acquisition on the selected

channel is automatically started.

21.6 Use of the ECCP2 Trigger

An A/D conversion can be started by the “Special Event

Trigger” of the ECCP2 module. This requires that the

CCP2M3:CCP2M0 bits (CCP2CON<3:0>) be

programmed as ‘1011’ and that the A/D module is

enabled (ADON bit is set). When the trigger occurs, the

GO/DONE bit will be set, starting the A/D acquisition

and conversion, and the Timer1 (or Timer3) counter will

be reset to zero. Timer1 (or Timer3) is reset to auto-

matically repeat the A/D acquisition period with minimal

software overhead (moving ADRESH/ADRESL to the

desired location). The appropriate analog input

channel must be selected and the minimum acquisition

period is either timed by the user, or an appropriate

TACQ time is selected before the Special Event Trigger

sets the GO/DONE bit (starts a conversion).

If the A/D module is not enabled (ADON is cleared), the

Special Event Trigger will be ignored by the A/D module

but will still reset the Timer1 (or Timer3) counter.

21.7 A/D Converter Calibration

The A/D Converter in the PIC18F87J11 family of

devices includes a self-calibration feature which com-

pensates for any offset generated within the module.

The calibration process is automated and is initiated by

setting the ADCAL bit (ADCON1<6>). The next time

the GO/DONE bit is set, the module will perform a

“dummy” conversion (that is, with reading none of the

input channels) and store the resulting value internally

to compensate for the offset. Thus, subsequent offsets

will be compensated. An example of a calibration

routine is shown in Example 21-1.

The calibration process assumes that the device is in a

relatively steady-state operating condition. If A/D

calibration is used, it should be performed after each

device Reset or if there are other major changes in

operating conditions.

21.8 Operation in Power-Managed

Modes

The selection of the automatic acquisition time and A/D

conversion clock is determined in part by the clock

source and frequency while in a power-managed

mode.

If the A/D is expected to operate while the device is in

a power-managed mode, the ACQT2:ACQT0 and

ADCS2:ADCS0 bits in ADCON1 should be updated in

accordance with the power-managed mode clock that

will be used. After the power-managed mode is entered

(either of the power-managed Run modes), an A/D

acquisition or conversion may be started. Once an

acquisition or conversion is started, the device should

continue to be clocked by the same power-managed

mode clock source until the conversion has been com-

pleted. If desired, the device may be placed into the

corresponding power-managed Idle mode during the

conversion.

If the power-managed mode clock frequency is less

than 1 MHz, the A/D RC clock source should be

selected.

Operation in the Sleep mode requires the A/D RC clock

to be selected. If bits, ACQT2:ACQT0, are set to ‘000’

and a conversion is started, the conversion will be

delayed one instruction cycle to allow execution of the

SLEEP instruction and entry to Sleep mode. The IDLEN

and SCS bits in the OSCCON register must have

already been cleared prior to starting the conversion.

22.0 COMPARATOR MODULE

The analog comparator module contains two compara-

tors that can be independently configured in a variety of

ways. The inputs can be selected from the analog

inputs and two internal voltage references. The digital

outputs are available at the pin level and can also be

read through the control register. Multiple output and

interrupt event generation are also available. A generic

single comparator from the module is shown in

Figure 22-1.

Key features of the module includes:

• Independent comparator control

• Programmable input configuration

• Output to both pin and register levels

• Programmable output polarity

• Independent interrupt generation for each

comparator with configurable interrupt-on-change

22.1 Registers

The CMxCON registers (Register 22-1) select the input

and output configuration for each comparator, as well

as the settings for interrupt generation.

The CMSTAT register (Register 22-2) provides the out-

put results of the comparators. The bits in this register

are read-only.

22.2 Comparator Operation

A single comparator is shown in Figure 22-2, along with

the relationship between the analog input levels and

the digital output. When the analog input at VIN+ is less

than the analog input VIN-, the output of the comparator

is a digital low level. When the analog input at VIN+ is

greater than the analog input VIN-, the output of the

comparator is a digital high level. The shaded areas of

the output of the comparator in Figure 22-2 represent

the uncertainty due to input offsets and response time.

FIGURE 22-2: SINGLE COMPARATOR

22.3 Comparator Response Time

Response time is the minimum time, after selecting a

new reference voltage or input source, before the com-

parator output has a valid level. The response time of

the comparator differs from the settling time of the volt-

age reference. Therefore, both of these times must be

considered when determining the total response to a

comparator input change. Otherwise, the maximum

delay of the comparators should be used (see

Section 27.0 “Electrical Characteristics”).

22.4 Analog Input Connection

Considerations

A simplified circuit for an analog input is shown in

Figure 22-3. Since the analog pins are connected to a

digital output, they have reverse biased diodes to VDD

and VSS. The analog input, therefore, must be between

VSS and VDD. If the input voltage deviates from this

range by more than 0.6V in either direction, one of the

diodes is forward biased and a latch-up condition may

occur. A maximum source impedance of 10 kΩ is

recommended for the analog sources. Any external

component connected to an analog input pin, such as

a capacitor or a Zener diode, should have very little

leakage current.

22.5 Comparator Control and

Configuration

Each comparator has up to eight possible combina-

tions of inputs: up to four external analog inputs, and

one of two internal voltage references.

Both comparators allow a selection of the signal from

pin, CxINA, or the voltage from the comparator refer-

ence (CVREF) on the non-inverting channel. This is

compared to either CxINB, CxINC, CxIND or the micro-

controller’s fixed internal reference voltage (VIRV, 1.2V

nominal) on the inverting channel. The comparator

inputs and outputs are tied to fixed I/O pins, defined in

Table 22-1. The available configurations and their

corresponding bit settings are shown in Figure 22-1.

TABLE 22-1: COMPARATOR INPUTS AND

OUTPUTS

22.5.1 COMPARATOR ENABLE AND

INPUT SELECTION

Setting the CON bit of the CMxCON register

(CMxCON<7>) enables the comparator for operation.

Clearing the CON bit disables the comparator resulting

in minimum current consumption.

The CCH1:CCH0 bits in the CMxCON register

(CMxCON<1:0>) direct either one of three analog input

pins, or the Internal Reference Voltage (VIRV), to the

comparator VIN-. Depending on the comparator operat-

ing mode, either an external or internal voltage

reference may be used. The analog signal present at

VIN- is compared to the signal at VIN+ and the digital

output of the comparator is adjusted accordingly.

The external reference is used when CREF = 0

(CMxCON<2>) and VIN+ is connected to the CxINA

pin. When external voltage references are used, the

comparator module can be configured to have the ref-

erence sources externally. The reference signal must

be between VSS and VDD, and can be applied to either

pin of the comparator.

The comparator module also allows the selection of an

internally generated voltage reference (CVREF) from

the comparator voltage reference module. This module

is described in more detail in Section 23.0 “Compara-

tor Voltage Reference Module”. The reference from

the Comparator Voltage Reference module is only

available when CREF = 1. In this mode, the internal

voltage reference is applied to the comparator’s VIN+

pin.

22.5.1.1 Comparator Configurations in 64-Pin

and 80-Pin Devices

In PIC18F87J11 family devices, the C and D input chan-

nels for both comparators are linked to pins in PORTH

and cannot be reassigned to alternate analog inputs.

Because of this, 64-pin devices offer a total of 4 different

configurations for each comparator. In contrast, 80-pin

devices offer a choice of 6 configurations for Comparator

1, and 8 configurations for Comparator 2. The configura-

tions shown in Figure 22-1 are footnoted to indicate

where they are not available.

22.5.2 COMPARATOR ENABLE AND

OUTPUT SELECTION

The comparator outputs are read through the CMSTAT

put and CMSTAT<1> reads the Comparator 2 output.

These bits are read-only.

The comparator outputs may also be directly output to

the RF1 and RF2 I/O pins by setting the COE bit

(CMxCON<6>). When enabled, multiplexors in the

output path of the pins switch to the output of the com-

parator. The TRISF<1:2> bits still function as the digital

output enable for the RF1 and RF2 pins while in this

mode.

By default, the comparator’s output is at logic high

whenever the voltage on VIN+ is greater than on VIN-.

The polarity of the comparator outputs can be inverted

using the CPOL bit (CMxCON<5>).

The uncertainty of each of the comparators is related to

the input offset voltage and the response time given in

the specifications, as discussed in Section 22.2

“Comparator Operation”.

22.6 Comparator Interrupts

The comparator interrupt flag is set whenever any of

the following occurs:

• Low-to-high transition of the comparator output

• High-to-low transition of the comparator output

• Any change in the comparator output

The comparator interrupt selection is done by the

EVPOL1:EVPOL0 bits in the CMxCON register

(CMxCON<4:3>).

In order to provide maximum flexibility, the output of the

comparator may be inverted using the CPOL bit in the

CMxCON register (CMxCON<5>). This is functionally

identical to reversing the inverting and non-inverting

inputs of the comparator for a particular mode.

An interrupt is generated on the low-to-high or high-to-

low transition of the comparator output. This mode of

interrupt generation is dependent on EVPOL<1:0> in

the CMxCON register. If EVPOL<1:0> = 01 or 10, the

interrupt is generated on a low-to-high or high-to-low

transition of the comparator output. Once the interrupt

is generated, it is required to clear the interrupt flag by

software.

When EVPOL<1:0> = 11, the comparator interrupt flag

is set whenever there is a change in the output value of

either comparator. Software will need to maintain infor-

mation about the status of the output bits, as read from

CMSTAT<1:0>, to determine the actual change that

occurred. The CMxIF bits (PIR2<6:5>) are the Compar-

ator Interrupt Flags. The CMxIF bits must be reset by

clearing them. Since it is also possible to write a ‘1’ to

this register, a simulated interrupt may be initiated.

Table 22-2 shows the interrupt generation with respect

to comparator input voltages and EVPOL bit settings.

Both the CMxIE bits (PIE2<6:5>) and the PEIE bit

(INTCON<6>) must be set to enable the interrupt. In

addition, the GIE bit (INTCON<7>) must also be set. If

any of these bits are clear, the interrupt is not enabled,

though the CMxIF bits will still be set if an interrupt

condition occurs.

22.7 Comparator Operation

During Sleep

When a comparator is active and the device is placed

in Sleep mode, the comparator remains active and the

interrupt is functional if enabled. This interrupt will

wake-up the device from Sleep mode when enabled.

Each operational comparator will consume additional

current. To minimize power consumption while in Sleep

mode, turn off the comparators (CON = 0) before

entering Sleep. If the device wakes up from Sleep, the

contents of the CMxCON register are not affected.

22.8 Effects of a Reset

A device Reset forces the CMxCON registers to their

Reset state. This forces both comparators and the

voltage reference to the OFF state.

23.0 COMPARATOR VOLTAGE

REFERENCE MODULE

The comparator voltage reference is a 16-tap resistor

ladder network that provides a selectable reference

voltage. Although its primary purpose is to provide a

reference for the analog comparators, it may also be

used independently of them.

A block diagram of the module is shown in Figure 23-1.

The resistor ladder is segmented to provide two ranges

of CVREF values and has a power-down function to

conserve power when the reference is not being used.

The module’s supply reference can be provided from

either device VDD/VSS or an external voltage reference.

23.1 Configuring the Comparator

Voltage Reference

The comparator voltage reference module is controlled

through the CVRCON register (Register 23-1). The

comparator voltage reference provides two ranges of

output voltage, each with 16 distinct levels. The range

to be used is selected by the CVRR bit (CVRCON<5>).

The primary difference between the ranges is the size

of the steps selected by the CVREF Selection bits

(CVR3:CVR0), with one range offering finer resolution.

The equations used to calculate the output of the

comparator voltage reference are as follows:

If CVRR = 1:

CVREF = ((CVR3:CVR0)/24) x (CVRSRC)

If CVRR = 0:

CVREF =(CVRSRC/4) + ((CVR3:CVR0)/32) x

(CVRSRC)

The comparator reference supply voltage can come

from either VDD and VSS, or the external VREF+ and

VREF- that are multiplexed with RA2 and RA3. The

voltage source is selected by the CVRSS bit

(CVRCON<4>).

The settling time of the comparator voltage reference

must be considered when changing the CVREF

output (see Table 27-3 in Section 27.0 “Electrical

Characteristics”).

The CVRCON register is a shared address SFR and

uses the same address as the PR4 register. The

CVRCON register is accessed by setting the ADSHR

bit (WDTCON<4>).

Note 1: CVROE overrides the TRISF<5> bit setting.

PIC18F87J11 FAMILY

23.2 Voltage Reference Accuracy/Error

The full range of voltage reference cannot be realized

due to the construction of the module. The transistors

on the top and bottom of the resistor ladder network

(Figure 23-1) keep CVREF from approaching the refer-

ence source rails. The voltage reference is derived

from the reference source; therefore, the CVREF output

changes with fluctuations in that source. The tested

absolute accuracy of the voltage reference can be

found in Section 27.0 “Electrical Characteristics”.

23.3 Connection Considerations

The voltage reference module operates independently

of the comparator module. The output of the reference

generator may be connected to the RF5 pin if the

CVROE bit is set. Enabling the voltage reference out-

put onto RA2 when it is configured as a digital input will

increase current consumption. Connecting RF5 as a

digital output with CVRSS enabled will also increase

current consumption.

The RF5 pin can be used as a simple D/A output with

limited drive capability. Due to the limited current drive

capability, a buffer must be used on the voltage

reference output for external connections to VREF.

Figure 23-2 shows an example buffering technique.

23.4 Operation During Sleep

When the device wakes up from Sleep through an

interrupt or a Watchdog Timer time-out, the contents of

the CVRCON register are not affected. To minimize

current consumption in Sleep mode, the voltage

reference should be disabled.

23.5 Effects of a Reset

A device Reset disables the voltage reference by

clearing CVREN (CVRCON<7>). This Reset also

disconnects the reference from the RA2 pin by clearing

CVROE, and selects the high-voltage range by clearing

CVRR. The CVR value select bits are also cleared.

NOTES:

PIC18F87J11 FAMILY

24.0 SPECIAL FEATURES OF THE

CPU

PIC18F87J11 Family devices include several features

intended to maximize reliability and minimize cost

through elimination of external components. These are:

• Oscillator Selection

• Resets:

- Power-on Reset (POR)

- Power-up Timer (PWRT)

- Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST)

- Brown-out Reset (BOR)

• Interrupts

• Watchdog Timer (WDT)

• Fail-Safe Clock Monitor

• Two-Speed Start-up

• Code Protection

• In-Circuit Serial Programming

The oscillator can be configured for the application

depending on frequency, power, accuracy and cost. All

of the options are discussed in detail in Section 2.0

“Oscillator Configurations”.

A complete discussion of device Resets and interrupts

is available in previous sections of this data sheet. In

addition to their Power-up and Oscillator Start-up

Timers provided for Resets, the PIC18F87J11 Family

of devices have a configurable Watchdog Timer which

is controlled in software.

The inclusion of an internal RC oscillator also provides

the additional benefits of a Fail-Safe Clock Monitor

(FSCM) and Two-Speed Start-up. FSCM provides for

background monitoring of the peripheral clock and

automatic switchover in the event of its failure.

Two-Speed Start-up enables code to be executed

almost immediately on start-up, while the primary clock

source completes its start-up delays.

All of these features are enabled and configured by

setting the appropriate Configuration register bits.

24.1 Configuration Bits

The Configuration bits can be programmed (read as

‘0’) or left unprogrammed (read as ‘1’) to select various

device configurations. These bits are mapped starting

at program memory location 300000h. A complete list

is shown in Table 24-2. A detailed explanation of the

various bit functions is provided in Register 24-1

through Register 24-6.

24.1.1 CONSIDERATIONS FOR

CONFIGURING THE PIC18F87J11

FAMILY DEVICES

Unlike previous PIC18 microcontrollers, devices of the

PIC18F87J11 Family do not use persistent memory

registers to store configuration information. The config-

uration bytes are implemented as volatile memory

which means that configuration data must be

programmed each time the device is powered up.

Configuration data is stored in the four words at the top

of the on-chip program memory space, known as the

Flash Configuration Words. It is stored in program

memory in the same order shown in Table 24-2, with

CONFIG1L at the lowest address and CONFIG3H at

the highest. The data is automatically loaded in the

proper Configuration registers during device power-up.

When creating applications for these devices, users

should always specifically allocate the location of the

Flash Configuration Word for configuration data. This is

to make certain that program code is not stored in this

address when the code is compiled.

The volatile memory cells used for the Configuration

bits always reset to ‘1’ on Power-on Resets. For all

other type of Reset events, the previously programmed

values are maintained and used without reloading from

program memory.

The four Most Significant bits of CONFIG1H,

CONFIG2H and CONFIG3H in program memory

should also be ‘1111’. This makes these Configuration

Words appear to be NOP instructions in the remote

event that their locations are ever executed by

accident. Since Configuration bits are not implemented

in the corresponding locations, writing ‘1’s to these

locations has no effect on device operation.

To prevent inadvertent configuration changes during

code execution, all programmable Configuration bits

are write-once. After a bit is initially programmed during

a power cycle, it cannot be written to again. Changing

a device configuration requires that power to the device

be cycled.

24.2 Watchdog Timer (WDT)

For PIC18F87J11 Family devices, the WDT is driven by

the INTRC oscillator. When the WDT is enabled, the

clock source is also enabled. The nominal WDT period

is 4 ms and has the same stability as the INTRC

oscillator.

The 4 ms period of the WDT is multiplied by a 16-bit

postscaler. Any output of the WDT postscaler is

selected by a multiplexor, controlled by the WDTPS bits

in Configuration Register 2H. Available periods range

from about 4 ms to 135 seconds (2.25 minutes

depending on voltage, temperature and WDT

postscaler). The WDT and postscaler are cleared

whenever a SLEEP or CLRWDT instruction is executed,

or a clock failure (primary or Timer1 oscillator) has

occurred.

24.2.1 CONTROL REGISTER

The WDTCON register (Register 24-9) is a readable

and writable register. The SWDTEN bit enables or dis-

ables WDT operation. This allows software to override

the WDTEN Configuration bit and enable the WDT only

if it has been disabled by the Configuration bit.

The ADSHR bit selects which SFRs are currently

selected and accessible. See Section 5.3.4.1 “Shared

Address SFRs” for additional details.

The LVDSTAT is a read-only status bit which is continu-

ously updated and provides information about the current

level of VDDCORE. This bit is only valid when the on-chip

voltage regulator is enabled.

24.3 On-Chip Voltage Regulator

All of the PIC18F87J11 family devices power their core

digital logic at a nominal 2.5V. For designs that are

required to operate at a higher typical voltage, such as

3.3V, all devices in the PIC18F87J11 family incorporate

an on-chip regulator that allows the device to run its

core logic from VDD.

The regulator is controlled by the ENVREG pin. Tying

VDD to the pin enables the regulator, which in turn,

provides power to the core from the other VDD pins.

When the regulator is enabled, a low-ESR filter capac-

itor must be connected to the VDDCORE/VCAP pin

(Figure 24-2). This helps to maintain the stability of the

regulator. The recommended value for the filter capac-

itor is provided in Section 27.3 “DC Characteristics:

PIC18F87J11 Family (Industrial)”.

If ENVREG is tied to VSS, the regulator is disabled. In

this case, separate power for the core logic at a nomi-

nal 2.5V must be supplied to the device on the

VDDCORE/VCAP pin to run the I/O pins at higher voltage

levels, typically 3.3V. Alternatively, the VDDCORE/VCAP

and VDD pins can be tied together to operate at a lower

nominal voltage. Refer to Figure 24-2 for possible

configurations.

24.3.1 VOLTAGE REGULATOR TRACKING

MODE AND LOW-VOLTAGE

DETECTION

When it is enabled, the on-chip regulator provides a

constant voltage of 2.5V nominal to the digital core

logic. The regulator can provide this level from a VDD of

about 2.5V, all the way up to the device’s VDDMAX. It

does not have the capability to boost VDD levels below

2.5V. In order to prevent “brown-out” conditions, when

the voltage drops too low for the regulator, the regulator

enters Tracking mode. In Tracking mode, the regulator

output follows VDD, with a typical voltage drop of

100 mV.

The on-chip regulator includes a simple, Low-Voltage

Detect (LVD) circuit. If VDD drops too low to maintain

approximately 2.45V on VDDCORE, the circuit sets the

Low-Voltage Detect Interrupt Flag, LVDIF (PIR2<2>).

This can be used to generate an interrupt and put the

application into a low-power operational mode, or

trigger an orderly shutdown. Low-Voltage Detection is

only available when the regulator is enabled.

The Low-Voltage Detect interrupt is edge-sensitive.

The interrupt flag will only be set once per falling edge

of VDDCORE. Firmware can clear the interrupt flag, but

a new interrupt will not be generated until VDDCORE

rises back above, and then falls below, the 2.45 thresh-

old. Upon device Resets, the interrupt flag will reset to

‘0’, even if VDDCORE is less than 2.45V. When the

regulator is enabled, the LVDSTAT bit in the WDTCON

VDDCORE.

24.3.2 ON-CHIP REGULATOR AND BOR

When the on-chip regulator is enabled, PIC18F87J11

family devices also have a simple brown-out capability.

If the voltage supplied to the regulator is inadequate to

maintain a regulated level, the regulator Reset circuitry

will generate a Brown-out Reset. This event is captured

by the BOR flag bit (RCON<0>).

The operation of the Brown-out Reset is described in

more detail in Section 4.4 “Brown-out Reset (BOR)”

and Section 4.4.1 “Detecting BOR”. The brown-out

voltage levels are specific in Section 27.1 “DC Char-

acteristics: Supply Voltage PIC18F87J11 Family

(Industrial)”.

24.3.3 POWER-UP REQUIREMENTS

The on-chip regulator is designed to meet the power-up

requirements for the device. If the application does not

use the regulator, then strict power-up conditions must

be adhered to. While powering up, VDDCORE must

never exceed VDD by 0.3 volts.

24.3.4 OPERATION IN SLEEP MODE

When enabled, the on-chip regulator always consumes

a small incremental amount of current over IDD. This

includes when the device is in Sleep mode, even

though the core digital logic does not require power. To

provide additional savings in applications where power

resources are critical, the regulator can be configured

to automatically disable itself whenever the device

goes into Sleep mode. This feature is controlled by the

REGSLP bit (WDTCON<7>, Register 24-9). Setting

this bit disables the regulator in Sleep mode and

reduces its current consumption to a minimum.

Substantial Sleep mode power savings can be obtained

by setting the REGSLP bit, but device wake-up time will

increase in order to insure the regulator has enough time

to stabilize. The REGSLP bit is automatically cleared by

hardware when a Low-Voltage Detect condition occurs.

24.4 Two-Speed Start-up

The Two-Speed Start-up feature helps to minimize the

latency period, from oscillator start-up to code execu-

tion, by allowing the microcontroller to use the INTRC

oscillator as a clock source until the primary clock

source is available. It is enabled by setting the IESO

Configuration bit.

Two-Speed Start-up should be enabled only if the

primary oscillator mode is HS or HSPLL

(Crystal-Based) modes. Since the EC and ECPLL

modes do not require an Oscillator Start-up Timer

delay, Two-Speed Start-up should be disabled.

When enabled, Resets and wake-ups from Sleep mode

cause the device to configure itself to run from the inter-

nal oscillator block as the clock source, following the

time-out of the Power-up Timer after a Power-on Reset

is enabled. This allows almost immediate code

execution while the primary oscillator starts and the

OST is running. Once the OST times out, the device

automatically switches to PRI_RUN mode.

In all other power-managed modes, Two-Speed

Start-up is not used. The device will be clocked by the

currently selected clock source until the primary clock

source becomes available. The setting of the IESO bit

is ignored.

24.4.1 SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR

USING TWO-SPEED START-UP

While using the INTRC oscillator in Two-Speed

Start-up, the device still obeys the normal command

sequences for entering power-managed modes,

including serial SLEEP instructions (refer to

Section 3.1.4 “Multiple Sleep Commands”). In prac-

tice, this means that user code can change the

SCS1:SCS0 bit settings or issue SLEEP instructions

before the OST times out. This would allow an applica-

tion to briefly wake-up, perform routine “housekeeping”

tasks and return to Sleep before the device starts to

operate from the primary oscillator.

User code can also check if the primary clock source is

currently providing the device clocking by checking the

status of the OSTS bit (OSCCON<3>). If the bit is set,

the primary oscillator is providing the clock. Otherwise,

the internal oscillator block is providing the clock during

wake-up from Reset or Sleep mode.

24.5 Fail-Safe Clock Monitor

The Fail-Safe Clock Monitor (FSCM) allows the

microcontroller to continue operation in the event of an

external oscillator failure by automatically switching the

device clock to the internal oscillator block. The FSCM

function is enabled by setting the FCMEN Configuration

bit.

When FSCM is enabled, the INTRC oscillator runs at

all times to monitor clocks to peripherals and provide a

backup clock in the event of a clock failure. Clock

monitoring (shown in Figure 24-4) is accomplished by

creating a sample clock signal which is the INTRC out-

put divided by 64. This allows ample time between

FSCM sample clocks for a peripheral clock edge to

occur. The peripheral device clock and the sample

clock are presented as inputs to the Clock Monitor

(CM) latch. The CM is set on the falling edge of the

device clock source but cleared on the rising edge of

the sample clock.

FIGURE 24-4: FSCM BLOCK DIAGRAM

Clock failure is tested for on the falling edge of the

sample clock. If a sample clock falling edge occurs

while CM is still set, a clock failure has been detected

(Figure 24-5). This causes the following:

• the FSCM generates an oscillator fail interrupt by

setting bit OSCFIF (PIR2<7>);

• the device clock source is switched to the internal

oscillator block (OSCCON is not updated to show

the current clock source – this is the fail-safe

condition); and

• the WDT is reset.

During switchover, the postscaler frequency from the

internal oscillator block may not be sufficiently stable

for timing sensitive applications. In these cases, it may

be desirable to select another clock configuration and

enter an alternate power-managed mode. This can be

done to attempt a partial recovery or execute a

controlled shutdown. See Section 3.1.4 “Multiple

Sleep Commands” and Section 24.4.1 “Special

Considerations for Using Two-Speed Start-up” for

more details.

The FSCM will detect failures of the primary or second-

ary clock sources only. If the internal oscillator block

fails, no failure would be detected, nor would any action

be possible.

24.5.1 FSCM AND THE WATCHDOG TIMER

Both the FSCM and the WDT are clocked by the

INTRC oscillator. Since the WDT operates with a

separate divider and counter, disabling the WDT has

no effect on the operation of the INTRC oscillator when

the FSCM is enabled.

As already noted, the clock source is switched to the

INTRC clock when a clock failure is detected; this may

mean a substantial change in the speed of code execu-

tion. If the WDT is enabled with a small prescale value,

a decrease in clock speed allows a WDT time-out to

occur and a subsequent device Reset. For this reason,

fail-safe clock events also reset the WDT and

postscaler, allowing it to start timing from when execu-

tion speed was changed and decreasing the likelihood

of an erroneous time-out.

FIGURE 24-5: FSCM TIMING DIAGRAM

24.5.2 EXITING FAIL-SAFE OPERATION

The fail-safe condition is terminated by either a device

Reset or by entering a power-managed mode. On

Reset, the controller starts the primary clock source

specified in Configuration Register 2H (with any

required start-up delays that are required for the oscil-

lator mode, such as OST or PLL timer). The INTRC

oscillator provides the device clock until the primary

clock source becomes ready (similar to a Two-Speed

Start-up). The clock source is then switched to the

primary clock (indicated by the OSTS bit in the

OSCCON register becoming set). The Fail-Safe Clock

Monitor then resumes monitoring the peripheral clock.

The primary clock source may never become ready

during start-up. In this case, operation is clocked by the

INTRC oscillator. The OSCCON register will remain in

its Reset state until a power-managed mode is entered.

24.5.3 FSCM INTERRUPTS IN

POWER-MANAGED MODES

By entering a power-managed mode, the clock

multiplexor selects the clock source selected by the

OSCCON register. Fail-Safe Clock Monitoring of the

power-managed clock source resumes in the

power-managed mode.

If an oscillator failure occurs during power-managed

operation, the subsequent events depend on whether

or not the oscillator failure interrupt is enabled. If

enabled (OSCFIF = 1), code execution will be clocked

by the INTRC multiplexor. An automatic transition back

to the failed clock source will not occur.

If the interrupt is disabled, subsequent interrupts while

in Idle mode will cause the CPU to begin executing

instructions while being clocked by the INTRC source.

24.5.4 POR OR WAKE-UP FROM SLEEP

The FSCM is designed to detect oscillator failure at any

point after the device has exited Power-on Reset (POR)

or low-power Sleep mode. When the primary device

clock is either the EC or INTRC modes, monitoring can

begin immediately following these events.

For HS or HSPLL modes, the situation is somewhat

different. Since the oscillator may require a start-up

time considerably longer than the FSCM sample clock

time, a false clock failure may be detected. To prevent

this, the internal oscillator block is automatically config-

ured as the device clock and functions until the primary

clock is stable (the OST and PLL timers have timed

out). This is identical to Two-Speed Start-up mode.

Once the primary clock is stable, the INTRC returns to

its role as the FSCM source.

As noted in Section 24.4.1 “Special Considerations

for Using Two-Speed Start-up”, it is also possible to

select another clock configuration and enter an alternate

power-managed mode while waiting for the primary

clock to become stable. When the new power-managed

mode is selected, the primary clock is disabled.

Note: The same logic that prevents false

oscillator failure interrupts on POR, or

wake from Sleep, will also prevent the

detection of the oscillator’s failure to start

at all following these events. This can be

avoided by monitoring the OSTS bit and

using a timing routine to determine if the

oscillator is taking too long to start. Even

so, no oscillator failure interrupt will be

flagged.

24.6 Program Verification and

Code Protection

For all devices in the PIC18F87J11 Family of devices,

the on-chip program memory space is treated as a

single block. Code protection for this block is controlled

by one Configuration bit, CP0. This bit inhibits external

reads and writes to the program memory space. It has

no direct effect in normal execution mode.

24.6.1 CONFIGURATION REGISTER

PROTECTION

The Configuration registers are protected against

untoward changes or reads in two ways. The primary

protection is the write-once feature of the Configuration

bits which prevents reconfiguration once the bit has

been programmed during a power cycle. To safeguard

against unpredictable events, Configuration bit

changes resulting from individual cell level disruptions

(such as ESD events) will cause a parity error and

trigger a device Reset. This is seen by the user as a

Configuration Match Reset.

The data for the Configuration registers is derived from

the Flash Configuration Words in program memory.

When the CP0 bit set, the source data for device

configuration is also protected as a consequence.

24.7 In-Circuit Serial Programming

PIC18F87J11 Family microcontrollers can be serially

programmed while in the end application circuit. This is

simply done with two lines for clock and data and three

other lines for power, ground and the programming

voltage. This allows customers to manufacture boards

with unprogrammed devices and then program the

microcontroller just before shipping the product. This

also allows the most recent firmware or a custom

firmware to be programmed.

24.8 In-Circuit Debugger

When the DEBUG Configuration bit is programmed to

a ‘0’, the In-Circuit Debugger functionality is enabled.

This function allows simple debugging functions when

used with MPLAB® IDE. When the microcontroller has

this feature enabled, some resources are not available

for general use. Table 24-4 shows which resources are

required by the background debugger.

PIC18F87J11 FAMILY

25.0 INSTRUCTION SET SUMMARY

The PIC18F87J11 Family of devices incorporate the

standard set of 75 PIC18 core instructions, as well as

an extended set of 8 new instructions for the optimiza-

tion of code that is recursive or that utilizes a software

stack. The extended set is discussed later in this

section.

25.1 Standard Instruction Set

The standard PIC18 instruction set adds many

enhancements to the previous PIC® instruction sets,

while maintaining an easy migration from these instruc-

tion sets. Most instructions are a single program

memory word (16 bits), but there are four instructions

that require two program memory locations.

Each single-word instruction is a 16-bit word divided

into an opcode, which specifies the instruction type and

one or more operands, which further specify the

operation of the instruction.

The instruction set is highly orthogonal and is grouped

into four basic categories:

•Byte-oriented operations

•Bit-oriented operations

•Literal operations

•Control operations

The PIC18 instruction set summary in Table 25-2 lists

byte-oriented, bit-oriented, literal and control

operations. Table 25-1 shows the opcode field

descriptions.

Most byte-oriented instructions have three operands:

1. The file register (specified by ‘f’)

2. The destination of the result (specified by ‘d’)

3. The accessed memory (specified by ‘a’)

The file register designator, ‘f’, specifies which file reg-

ister is to be used by the instruction. The destination

designator, ‘d’, specifies where the result of the

operation is to be placed. If ‘d’ is ‘0’, the result is placed

in the WREG register. If ‘d’ is ‘1’, the result is placed in

the file register specified in the instruction.

All bit-oriented instructions have three operands:

1. The file register (specified by ‘f’)

2. The bit in the file register (specified by ‘b’)

3. The accessed memory (specified by ‘a’)

The bit field designator ‘b’ selects the number of the bit

affected by the operation, while the file register desig-

nator, ‘f’, represents the number of the file in which the

bit is located.

The literal instructions may use some of the following

operands:

• A literal value to be loaded into a file register

(specified by ‘k’)

• The desired FSR register to load the literal value

into (specified by ‘f’)

• No operand required

(specified by ‘—’)

The control instructions may use some of the following

operands:

• A program memory address (specified by ‘n’)

• The mode of the CALL or RETURN instructions

(specified by ‘s’)

• The mode of the table read and table write

instructions (specified by ‘m’)

• No operand required

(specified by ‘—’)

All instructions are a single word, except for four

double-word instructions. These instructions were

made double-word to contain the required information

in 32 bits. In the second word, the 4 MSbs are ‘1’s. If

this second word is executed as an instruction (by

itself), it will execute as a NOP.

All single-word instructions are executed in a single

instruction cycle, unless a conditional test is true or the

program counter is changed as a result of the instruc-

tion. In these cases, the execution takes two instruction

cycles with the additional instruction cycle(s) executed

as a NOP.

The double-word instructions execute in two instruction

cycles.

One instruction cycle consists of four oscillator periods.

Thus, for an oscillator frequency of 4 MHz, the normal

instruction execution time is 1 μs. If a conditional test is

true, or the program counter is changed as a result of

an instruction, the instruction execution time is 2 μs.

Two-word branch instructions (if true) would take 3 μs.

Figure 25-1 shows the general formats that the instruc-

tions can have. All examples use the convention ‘nnh’

to represent a hexadecimal number.

The instruction set summary, shown in Table 25-2, lists

the standard instructions recognized by the Microchip

MPASMTM Assembler.

Section 25.1.1 “Standard Instruction Set” provides

a description of each instruction.

25.2 Extended Instruction Set

In addition to the standard 75 instructions of the PIC18

instruction set, the PIC18F87J11 Family family of

devices also provide an optional extension to the core

CPU functionality. The added features include eight

additional instructions that augment Indirect and

Indexed Addressing operations and the implementa-

tion of Indexed Literal Offset Addressing for many of

the standard PIC18 instructions.

The additional features of the extended instruction set

are enabled by default on unprogrammed devices.

Users must properly set or clear the XINST Configura-

tion bit during programming to enable or disable these

features.

The instructions in the extended set can all be

classified as literal operations, which either manipulate

the File Select Registers, or use them for Indexed

Addressing. Two of the instructions, ADDFSR and

SUBFSR, each have an additional special instantiation

for using FSR2. These versions (ADDULNK and

SUBULNK) allow for automatic return after execution.

The extended instructions are specifically implemented

to optimize re-entrant program code (that is, code that

is recursive or that uses a software stack) written in

high-level languages, particularly C. Among other

things, they allow users working in high-level

languages to perform certain operations on data

structures more efficiently. These include:

• dynamic allocation and deallocation of software

stack space when entering and leaving

subroutines

• function pointer invocation

• software Stack Pointer manipulation

• manipulation of variables located in a software

stack

A summary of the instructions in the extended instruc-

tion set is provided in Table 25-3. Detailed descriptions

are provided in Section 25.2.2 “Extended Instruction

Set”. The opcode field descriptions in Table 25-1 (page

330) apply to both the standard and extended PIC18

instruction sets.

25.2.1 EXTENDED INSTRUCTION SYNTAX

Most of the extended instructions use indexed argu-

ments, using one of the File Select Registers and some

offset to specify a source or destination register. When

an argument for an instruction serves as part of

Indexed Addressing, it is enclosed in square brackets

(“[ ]”). This is done to indicate that the argument is used

as an index or offset. The MPASM™ Assembler will

flag an error if it determines that an index or offset value

is not bracketed.

When the extended instruction set is enabled, brackets

are also used to indicate index arguments in

byte-oriented and bit-oriented instructions. This is in

addition to other changes in their syntax. For more

details, see Section 25.2.3.1 “Extended Instruction

Syntax with Standard PIC18 Commands”.

TABLE 25-3: EXTENSIONS TO THE PIC18 INSTRUCTION SET

Note: The instruction set extension and the

Indexed Literal Offset Addressing mode

were designed for optimizing applications

written in C; the user may likely never use

these instructions directly in assembler.

The syntax for these commands is

provided as a reference for users who may

be reviewing code that has been

generated by a compiler.

Note: In the past, square brackets have been

used to denote optional arguments in the

PIC18 and earlier instruction sets. In this

text and going forward, optional

arguments are denoted by braces (“{ }”).

25.2.3 BYTE-ORIENTED AND

BIT-ORIENTED INSTRUCTIONS IN

INDEXED LITERAL OFFSET MODE

In addition to eight new commands in the extended set,

enabling the extended instruction set also enables

Indexed Literal Offset Addressing (Section 5.6.1

“Indexed Addressing with Literal Offset”). This has

a significant impact on the way that many commands of

the standard PIC18 instruction set are interpreted.

When the extended set is disabled, addresses embed-

ded in opcodes are treated as literal memory locations:

either as a location in the Access Bank (a = 0) or in a

GPR bank designated by the BSR (a = 1). When the

extended instruction set is enabled and a = 0, however,

a file register argument of 5Fh or less is interpreted as

an offset from the pointer value in FSR2 and not as a

literal address. For practical purposes, this means that

all instructions that use the Access RAM bit as an

argument – that is, all byte-oriented and bit-oriented

instructions, or almost half of the core PIC18 instruc-

tions – may behave differently when the extended

instruction set is enabled.

When the content of FSR2 is 00h, the boundaries of the

Access RAM are essentially remapped to their original

values. This may be useful in creating

backward-compatible code. If this technique is used, it

may be necessary to save the value of FSR2 and

restore it when moving back and forth between C and

assembly routines in order to preserve the Stack

Pointer. Users must also keep in mind the syntax

requirements of the extended instruction set (see

Section 25.2.3.1 “Extended Instruction Syntax with

Standard PIC18 Commands”).

Although the Indexed Literal Offset mode can be very

useful for dynamic stack and pointer manipulation, it

can also be very annoying if a simple arithmetic opera-

tion is carried out on the wrong register. Users who are

accustomed to the PIC18 programming must keep in

mind that, when the extended instruction set is

enabled, register addresses of 5Fh or less are used for

Indexed Literal Offset Addressing.

Representative examples of typical byte-oriented and

bit-oriented instructions in the Indexed Literal Offset

mode are provided on the following page to show how

execution is affected. The operand conditions shown in

the examples are applicable to all instructions of these

types.

25.2.3.1 Extended Instruction Syntax with

Standard PIC18 Commands

When the extended instruction set is enabled, the file

bit-oriented commands is replaced with the literal offset

value ‘k’. As already noted, this occurs only when ‘f’ is

less than or equal to 5Fh. When an offset value is used,

it must be indicated by square brackets (“[ ]”). As with

the extended instructions, the use of brackets indicates

to the compiler that the value is to be interpreted as an

index or an offset. Omitting the brackets, or using a

value greater than 5Fh within the brackets, will

generate an error in the MPASM Assembler.

If the index argument is properly bracketed for Indexed

Literal Offset Addressing, the Access RAM argument is

never specified; it will automatically be assumed to be

‘0’. This is in contrast to standard operation (extended

instruction set disabled), when ‘a’ is set on the basis of

the target address. Declaring the Access RAM bit in

this mode will also generate an error in the MPASM

Assembler.

The destination argument ‘d’ functions as before.

In the latest versions of the MPASM Assembler,

language support for the extended instruction set must

be explicitly invoked. This is done with either the

command line option, /y, or the PE directive in the

source listing.

25.2.4 CONSIDERATIONS WHEN

ENABLING THE EXTENDED

INSTRUCTION SET

It is important to note that the extensions to the instruc-

tion set may not be beneficial to all users. In particular,

users who are not writing code that uses a software

stack may not benefit from using the extensions to the

instruction set.

Additionally, the Indexed Literal Offset Addressing

mode may create issues with legacy applications

written to the PIC18 assembler. This is because

instructions in the legacy code may attempt to address

registers in the Access Bank below 5Fh. Since these

addresses are interpreted as literal offsets to FSR2

when the instruction set extension is enabled, the

application may read or write to the wrong data

addresses.

When porting an application to the PIC18F87J11 Fam-

ily family, it is very important to consider the type of

code. A large, re-entrant application that is written in C

and would benefit from efficient compilation will do well

when using the instruction set extensions. Legacy

applications that heavily use the Access Bank will most

likely not benefit from using the extended instruction

set.

Note: Enabling the PIC18 instruction set exten-

sion may cause legacy applications to

behave erratically or fail entirely.

25.2.5 SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS WITH

MICROCHIP MPLAB® IDE TOOLS

The latest versions of Microchip’s software tools have

been designed to fully support the extended instruction

set for the PIC18F87J11 Family family. This includes

the MPLAB C18 C Compiler, MPASM assembly lan-

guage and MPLAB Integrated Development

Environment (IDE).

When selecting a target device for software

development, MPLAB IDE will automatically set default

Configuration bits for that device. The default setting for

the XINST Configuration bit is ‘0’, disabling the

extended instruction set and Indexed Literal Offset

Addressing. For proper execution of applications

developed to take advantage of the extended

instruction set, XINST must be set during

programming.

To develop software for the extended instruction set,

the user must enable support for the instructions and

the Indexed Addressing mode in their language tool(s).

Depending on the environment being used, this may be

done in several ways:

• A menu option or dialog box within the

environment that allows the user to configure the

language tool and its settings for the project

• A command line option

• A directive in the source code

These options vary between different compilers,

assemblers and development environments. Users are

encouraged to review the documentation accompany-

ing their development systems for the appropriate

information.

Note 1: The power-down current in Sleep mode does not depend on the oscillator type. Power-down current is measured with

the part in Sleep mode, with all I/O pins in high-impedance state and tied to VDD or VSS and all features that add delta

current disabled (such as WDT, Timer1 oscillator, BOR, etc.).

2: The supply current is mainly a function of operating voltage, frequency and mode. Other factors, such as I/O pin loading

and switching rate, oscillator type and circuit, internal code execution pattern and temperature, also have an impact on

the current consumption.

The test conditions for all IDD measurements in active operation mode are:

OSC1 = external square wave, from rail-to-rail; all I/O pins tri-stated, pulled to VDD;

MCLR = VDD; WDT enabled/disabled as specified.

3: Standard, low-cost 32 kHz crystals have an operating temperature range of -10°C to +70°C. Extended temperature

crystals are available at a much higher cost.

4: Voltage regulator disabled (ENVREG = 0, tied to VSS).

5: Voltage regulator enabled (ENVREG = 1, tied to VDD, REGSLP = 1).

except PLL. All specified values are based on characterization data for that particular oscillator type under

standard operating conditions with the device executing code. Exceeding these specified limits may result

in an unstable oscillator operation and/or higher than expected current consumption. All devices are tested

to operate at “min.” values with an external clock applied to the OSC1/CLKI pin. When an external clock

input is used, the “max.” cycle time limit is “DC” (no clock) for all devices.

Note 1: As a transmitter, the device must provide this internal minimum delay time to bridge the undefined region (min. 300 ns)

of the falling edge of SCLx to avoid unintended generation of Start or Stop conditions.

2: A Fast mode I2C™ bus device can be used in a Standard mode I2C bus system, but the requirement, TSU:DAT ≥250 ns,

must then be met. This will automatically be the case if the device does not stretch the LOW period of the SCLx signal.

If such a device does stretch the LOW period of the SCLx signal, it must output the next data bit to the SDAx line,

TR max. + TSU:DAT = 1000 + 250 = 1250 ns (according to the Standard mode I2C bus specification), before the SCLx

line is released.
