NOTES:

PIC18F2525/2620/4525/4620

1.0 DEVICE OVERVIEW

This document contains device-specific information for

the following devices:

This family offers the advantages of all PIC18

microcontrollers – namely, high computational perfor-

mance at an economical price – with the addition of

high-endurance, Enhanced Flash program memory.

On top of these features, the PIC18F2525/2620/4525/

4620 family introduces design enhancements that

make these microcontrollers a logical choice for many

high-performance, power sensitive applications.

1.1 New Core Features

1.1.1 nanoWatt TECHNOLOGY

All of the devices in the PIC18F2525/2620/4525/4620

family incorporate a range of features that can signifi-

cantly reduce power consumption during operation.

Key items include:

•Alternate Run Modes: By clocking the controller

from the Timer1 source or the internal oscillator

block, power consumption during code execution

can be reduced by as much as 90%.

•Multiple Idle Modes: The controller can also run

with its CPU core disabled but the peripherals still

active. In these 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.

•Low Consumption in Key Modules: The

power requirements for both Timer1 and the

Watchdog Timer are minimized. See

Section 26.0 “Electrical Characteristics” for

values.

1.1.2 MULTIPLE OSCILLATOR OPTIONS

AND FEATURES

All of the devices in the PIC18F2525/2620/4525/4620

family offer ten different oscillator options, allowing

users a wide range of choices in developing application

hardware. These include:

• Four Crystal modes, using crystals or ceramic

resonators

• Two External Clock modes, offering the option of

using two pins (oscillator input and a divide-by-4

clock output) or one pin (oscillator input, with the

second pin reassigned as general I/O)

• Two External RC Oscillator modes with the same

pin options as the External Clock modes

• An internal oscillator block which provides

an 8 MHz clock and an INTRC source

(approximately 31 kHz), as well as a range of

6 user-selectable clock frequencies, between

125 kHz to 4 MHz, for a total of 8 clock frequencies.

This option frees the two oscillator pins for use as

additional general purpose I/O.

• A Phase Lock Loop (PLL) frequency multiplier,

available to both the High-Speed Crystal and Inter-

nal Oscillator modes, which allows clock speeds of

up to 40 MHz. Used with the internal oscillator, the

PLL gives users a complete selection of clock

speeds, from 31 kHz to 32 MHz – all without using

an external crystal or clock circuit.

Besides its availability as a clock source, 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 block, 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.

• PIC18F2525 • PIC18LF2525

• PIC18F2620 • PIC18LF2620

• PIC18F4525 • PIC18LF4525

• PIC18F4620 • PIC18LF4620

PIC18F2525/2620/4525/4620

1.2 Other Special Features

•Memory Endurance: The Enhanced Flash cells

for both program memory and data EEPROM are

rated to last for many thousands of erase/write

cycles – up to 100,000 for program memory and

1,000,000 for EEPROM. Data retention without

refresh is conservatively estimated to be greater

than 40 years.

•Self-Programmability: These devices can write

to their own program memory spaces under inter-

nal software control. By using a bootloader routine

located in the protected Boot Block at the top of

program memory, it becomes possible to create

an application that can update itself in the field.

•Extended Instruction Set: The PIC18F2525/

2620/4525/4620 family introduces an optional

extension to the PIC18 instruction set, which adds

8 new instructions and an Indexed Addressing

mode. This extension, enabled as a device con-

figuration option, has been specifically designed

to optimize re-entrant application code originally

developed in high-level languages, such as C.

•Enhanced CCP Module: In PWM mode, this

module provides 1, 2 or 4 modulated outputs for

controlling half-bridge and full-bridge drivers.

Other features include auto-shutdown, for

disabling PWM outputs on interrupt or other select

conditions and auto-restart, to reactivate outputs

once the condition has cleared.

•Enhanced Addressable USART: This serial

communication module is capable of standard

RS-232 operation and provides support for the LIN

bus protocol. Other enhancements include

automatic baud rate detection and a 16-bit Baud

Rate Generator for improved resolution. When the

microcontroller is using the internal oscillator

block, the EUSART provides stable operation for

applications that talk to the outside world without

using an external crystal (or its accompanying

power requirement).

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

programmable acquisition time, allowing for a

channel to be selected and a conversion to be

initiated without 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 26.0 “Electrical Characteristics” for

time-out periods.

1.3 Details on Individual Family

Members

Devices in the PIC18F2525/2620/4525/4620 family are

available in 28-pin and 40/44-pin packages. Block

diagrams for the two groups are shown in Figure 1-1

and Figure 1-2.

The devices are differentiated from each other in five

ways:

1. Flash program memory (48 Kbytes for

PIC18FX525 devices, 64 Kbytes for

PIC18FX620 devices).

2. A/D channels (10 for 28-pin devices, 13 for

40/44-pin devices).

3. I/O ports (3 bidirectional ports on 28-pin devices,

5 bidirectional ports on 40/44-pin devices).

4. CCP and Enhanced CCP implementation

(28-pin devices have 2 standard CCP

modules, 40/44-pin devices have one standard

CCP module and one ECCP module).

5. Parallel Slave Port (present only on 40/44-pin

devices).

All other features for devices in this family are identical.

These are summarized in Table 1-1.

The pinouts for all devices are listed in Table 1-2 and

Table 1-3.

Like all Microchip PIC18 devices, members of the

PIC18F2525/2620/4525/4620 family are available as

both standard and low-voltage devices. Standard

devices with Enhanced Flash memory, designated with

an “F” in the part number (such as PIC18F2620),

accommodate an operating VDD range of 4.2V to 5.5V.

Low-voltage parts, designated by “LF” (such as

PIC18LF2620), function over an extended VDD range

of 2.0V to 5.5V.

the pin connections.

The oscillator design requires the use of a parallel cut

crystal.

2.3 External Clock Input

The EC and ECIO 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

The ECIO Oscillator mode functions like the EC mode,

except that the OSC2 pin becomes an additional

general purpose I/O pin. The I/O pin becomes bit 6 of

PORTA (RA6). Figure 2-4 shows the pin connections

for the ECIO Oscillator mode.

of the oscillator but also increases the

start-up time.

2: When operating below 3V VDD, or when

using certain ceramic resonators at any

voltage, it may be necessary to use the

HS mode or switch to a crystal oscillator.

3: Since each resonator/crystal has its own

characteristics, the user should consult

the resonator/crystal manufacturer for

appropriate values of external

components.

4: Rs may be required to avoid overdriving

2.4 RC Oscillator

For timing insensitive applications, the “RC” and

“RCIO” device options offer additional cost savings.

The actual oscillator frequency is a function of several

factors:

• supply voltage

• values of the external resistor (REXT) and

capacitor (CEXT)

• operating temperature

Given the same device, operating voltage and tempera-

ture and component values, there will also be unit-to-unit

frequency variations. These are due to factors such as:

• normal manufacturing variation

• difference in lead frame capacitance between

package types (especially for low CEXT values)

• variations within the tolerance of limits of REXT

and CEXT

In the RC Oscillator mode, the oscillator frequency

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

may be used for test purposes or to synchronize other

logic. Figure 2-5 shows how the R/C combination is

connected.

FIGURE 2-5: RC OSCILLATOR MODE

The RCIO Oscillator mode (Figure 2-6) functions like

the RC mode, except that the OSC2 pin becomes an

additional general purpose I/O pin. The I/O pin

becomes bit 6 of PORTA (RA6).

FIGURE 2-6: RCIO OSCILLATOR MODE

2.5 PLL Frequency Multiplier

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

option for users who wish to use a lower frequency

oscillator circuit or to clock the device up to its highest

rated frequency from a crystal oscillator. This may be

useful for customers who are concerned with EMI due

to high-frequency crystals or users who require higher

clock speeds from an internal oscillator.

2.5.1 HSPLL OSCILLATOR MODE

The HSPLL mode makes use of the HS Oscillator

mode for frequencies up to 10 MHz. A PLL then multi-

plies the oscillator output frequency by 4 to produce an

internal clock frequency up to 40 MHz. The PLLEN bit

is not available in this oscillator mode.

The PLL is only available to the crystal oscillator when

the FOSC3:FOSC0 Configuration bits are programmed

for HSPLL mode (= 0110).

FIGURE 2-7: PLL BLOCK DIAGRAM

(HS MODE)

2.5.2 PLL AND INTOSC

The PLL is also available to the internal oscillator block

in selected oscillator modes. 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 2.6.4 “PLL in INTOSC

Modes”.

PIC18F2525/2620/4525/4620

2.6 Internal Oscillator Block

The PIC18F2525/2620/4525/4620 devices include an

internal oscillator block which generates two different

clock signals; either can be used as the microcontroller’s

clock source. This may eliminate the need for external

oscillator circuits on the OSC1 and/or OSC2 pins.

The main output (INTOSC) is an 8 MHz clock source,

which can be used to directly drive the device clock. It

also drives a postscaler, which can provide a range of

clock frequencies from 31 kHz to 4 MHz. The INTOSC

output is enabled when a clock frequency from 125 kHz

to 8 MHz is selected.

The other clock source is the Internal RC oscillator

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

INTRC is enabled if it is selected as the device clock

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 23.0 “Special Features of the CPU”.

The clock source frequency (INTOSC direct, INTRC

direct or INTOSC postscaler) is selected by configuring

the IRCF bits of the OSCCON register (page 30).

2.6.1 INTIO MODES

Using the internal oscillator as the clock source

eliminates the need for up to two external oscillator

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

configurations are available:

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

while OSC1 functions as RA7 for digital input and

output.

• In INTIO2 mode, OSC1 functions as RA7 and

OSC2 functions as RA6, both for digital input and

output.

2.6.2 INTOSC OUTPUT FREQUENCY

The internal oscillator block is calibrated at the factory

to produce an INTOSC output frequency of 8.0 MHz.

The INTRC oscillator operates independently of the

INTOSC source. Any changes in INTOSC across

voltage and temperature are not necessarily reflected

by changes in INTRC and vice versa.

2.6.3 OSCTUNE REGISTER

The internal oscillator’s output has been calibrated at

the factory but can be adjusted in the user’s applica-

tion. This is done by writing to the OSCTUNE register

(Register 2-1). The tuning sensitivity is constant

throughout the tuning range.

When the OSCTUNE register is modified, the INTOSC

frequency will begin shifting to the new frequency. The

INTRC clock will reach the new frequency within

8 clock cycles (approximately 8 * 32 μs=256μs). The

INTOSC clock will stabilize within 1 ms. Code execu-

tion continues during this shift. There is no indication

that the shift has occurred.

The OSCTUNE register also implements the INTSRC

and PLLEN bits, which control certain features of the

internal oscillator block. The INTSRC bit allows users

to select which internal oscillator provides the clock

source when the 31 kHz frequency option is selected.

This is covered in greater detail in Section 2.7.1

“Oscillator Control Register”.

The PLLEN bit controls the operation of the frequency

multiplier, PLL, in internal oscillator modes.

2.6.4 PLL IN INTOSC MODES

The 4x frequency multiplier can be used with the

internal oscillator block to produce faster device clock

speeds than are normally possible with an internal

oscillator. When enabled, the PLL produces a clock

speed of up to 32 MHz.

Unlike HSPLL mode, the PLL is controlled through

software. The control bit, PLLEN (OSCTUNE<6>), is

used to enable or disable its operation.

The PLL is available when the device is configured to

use the internal oscillator block as its primary clock

source (FOSC3:FOSC0 = 1001 or 1000). Additionally,

the PLL will only function when the selected output fre-

quency is either 4 MHz or 8 MHz (OSCCON<6:4> = 111

or 110). If both of these conditions are not met, the PLL

is disabled.

The PLLEN control bit is only functional in those inter-

nal oscillator modes where the PLL is available. In all

other modes, it is forced to ‘0’ and is effectively

unavailable.

2.6.5 INTOSC FREQUENCY DRIFT

The factory calibrates the internal oscillator block

output (INTOSC) for 8 MHz. However, this frequency

may drift as VDD or temperature changes, which can

affect the controller operation in a variety of ways. It is

possible to adjust the INTOSC frequency by modifying

the value in the OSCTUNE register. This has no effect

on the INTRC clock source frequency.

Tuning the INTOSC source requires knowing when to

make the adjustment, in which direction it should be

made, and in some cases, how large a change is

needed. Three compensation techniques are

discussed in Section 2.6.5.1 “Compensating with

the EUSART”, Section 2.6.5.2 “Compensating with

the Timers” and Section 2.6.5.3 “Compensating

with the CCP Module in Capture Mode”, but other

techniques may be used.

PIC18F2525/2620/4525/4620

2.6.5.1 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.

2.6.5.2 Compensating with the Timers

This technique compares device clock speed to some

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

clocked by the peripheral clock, while the other is

clocked by a fixed reference source, such as the

Timer1 oscillator.

Both timers are cleared, but the timer clocked by the

reference generates interrupts. When an interrupt

occurs, the internally clocked timer is read and both

timers are cleared. If the internally clocked timer value

is greater than expected, then the internal oscillator

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

the OSCTUNE register.

2.6.5.3 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

PIC18F2525/2620/4525/4620

2.7 Clock Sources and Oscillator

Switching

Like previous PIC18 devices, the PIC18F2525/2620/

4525/4620 family includes a feature that allows the

device clock source to be switched from the main

oscillator to an alternate, low-frequency clock source.

PIC18F2525/2620/4525/4620 devices offer two alternate

clock sources. When an alternate clock source is enabled,

the various power-managed operating modes are

available.

Essentially, there are three clock sources for these

devices:

• Primary oscillators

• Secondary oscillators

• Internal oscillator block

The primary oscillators include the External Crystal

and Resonator modes, the External RC modes, the

External Clock modes and the internal oscillator block.

The particular mode is defined by the FOSC3:FOSC0

Configuration bits. The details of these modes are

covered earlier in this chapter.

The secondary oscillators are those external sources

not connected to the OSC1 or OSC2 pins. These

sources may continue to operate even after the

controller is placed in a power-managed mode.

PIC18F2525/2620/4525/4620 devices offer the Timer1

oscillator as a secondary oscillator. This oscillator, in all

power-managed modes, is often the time base for

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

Most often, a 32.768 kHz watch crystal is connected

between the RC0/T1OSO/T13CKI and RC1/T1OSI

pins. Like the LP Oscillator mode circuit, loading

capacitors are also connected from each pin to ground.

The Timer1 oscillator is discussed in greater detail in

Section 12.3 “Timer1 Oscillator”.

In addition to being a primary clock source, the internal

oscillator block 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 clock sources for the PIC18F2525/2620/4525/4620

devices are shown in Figure 2-8. See Section 23.0

“Special Features of the CPU” for Configuration

2.7.1 OSCILLATOR CONTROL REGISTER

The OSCCON register (Register 2-2) controls several

aspects of the device clock’s operation, both in full-power

operation and in power-managed modes.

The System Clock Select bits, SCS1:SCS0, select the

clock source. The available clock sources are the

primary clock (defined by the FOSC3:FOSC0 Configu-

ration bits), the secondary clock (Timer1 oscillator) and

the internal oscillator block. The clock source changes

immediately after one or more of the bits is written to,

following a brief clock transition interval. The SCS bits

are cleared on all forms of Reset.

The Internal Oscillator Frequency Select bits

(IRCF2:IRCF0) select the frequency output of the

internal oscillator block to drive the device clock. The

choices are the INTRC source, the INTOSC source

(8 MHz) or one of the frequencies derived from the

INTOSC postscaler (31.25 kHz to 4 MHz). If the

internal oscillator block is supplying the device clock,

changing the states of these bits will have an immedi-

ate change on the internal oscillator’s output. On

device Resets, the default output frequency of the

internal oscillator block is set at 1 MHz.

When a nominal output frequency of 31 kHz is selected

(IRCF2:IRCF0 = 000), users may choose which inter-

nal oscillator acts as the source. This is done with the

INTSRC bit in the OSCTUNE register (OSCTUNE<7>).

Setting this bit selects INTOSC as a 31.25 kHz clock

source by enabling the divide-by-256 output of the

INTOSC postscaler. Clearing INTSRC selects INTRC

(nominally 31 kHz) as the clock source.

This option allows users to select the tunable and more

precise INTOSC as a clock source, while maintaining

power savings with a very low clock speed. Regardless

of the setting of INTSRC, INTRC always remains the

clock source for features such as the Watchdog Timer

and the Fail-Safe Clock Monitor.

The OSTS, IOFS and T1RUN 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 IOFS bit

indicates when the internal oscillator block has stabi-

lized and is providing the device clock in RC Clock

modes. The T1RUN bit (T1CON<6>) indicates when

the Timer1 oscillator is providing the device clock in

secondary clock modes. In power-managed modes,

only one of these three bits will be set at any time. If

none of these bits are set, the INTRC is providing the

clock or the internal oscillator block 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”.

2.7.2 OSCILLATOR TRANSITIONS

PIC18F2525/2620/4525/4620 devices contain circuitry

to prevent clock “glitches” when switching between

clock sources. A short pause in the device clock occurs

during the clock switch. The length of this pause is the

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

four cycles of the new clock source. This formula

assumes that the new clock source is stable.

Clock transitions are discussed in greater detail in

Section 3.1.2 “Entering Power-Managed Modes”.

Note 1: The Timer1 oscillator must be enabled to

select the secondary clock source. The

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 will be ignored.

2: It is recommended that the Timer1

oscillator be operating and stable before

selecting the secondary clock source or a

very long delay may occur while the

Timer1 oscillator starts.

PIC18F2525/2620/4525/4620

2.8 Effects of Power-Managed Modes

on the Various Clock Sources

When PRI_IDLE mode is selected, the designated

primary oscillator continues to run without interruption.

For all other power-managed modes, the oscillator

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

OSC2 pin, if 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 internal oscillator modes (RC_RUN and RC_IDLE),

the internal oscillator block 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 23.2 “Watchdog Timer

(WDT)”, Section 23.3 “Two-Speed Start-up” and

Section 23.4 “Fail-Safe Clock Monitor” for more

information on WDT, Fail-Safe Clock Monitor and Two-

Speed Start-up). The INTOSC output at 8 MHz may be

used directly to clock the device or may be divided

down by the postscaler. The INTOSC output is disabled

if the clock is provided directly from the INTRC output.

If the Sleep mode is selected, all clock sources are

stopped. Since all the transistor switching currents

have been stopped, Sleep mode achieves the lowest

current consumption of the device (only leakage

currents).

Enabling any on-chip feature that will operate during

Sleep 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. Other features may be operating that do

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

PSP, INTx pins and others). Peripherals that may add

significant current consumption are listed in

Section 26.2 “DC Characteristics”.

2.9 Power-up Delays

Power-up delays are controlled by two timers, so that no

external Reset circuitry is required for most applications.

The delays ensure that the device is kept in Reset until

the device power supply is stable under normal circum-

stances and the primary clock is operating and stable.

For additional information on power-up delays, see

Section 4.5 “Device Reset Timers”.

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

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

Table 26-10). It is enabled by clearing (= 0) the

PWRTEN Configuration bit.

The second timer is the Oscillator Start-up Timer

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

crystal oscillator is stable (LP, XT and HS modes). The

OST does this by counting 1024 oscillator cycles

before allowing the oscillator to clock the device.

When the HSPLL Oscillator mode is selected, the

device is kept in Reset for an additional 2 ms, following

the HS mode OST delay, so the PLL can lock to the

incoming clock frequency.

There is a delay of interval, TCSD (parameter 38,

Table 26-10), following POR, while the controller

becomes ready to execute instructions. This delay runs

concurrently with any other delays. This may be the

only delay that occurs when any of the EC, RC or INTIO

modes are used as the primary clock source.

NOTES:

PIC18F2525/2620/4525/4620

3.0 POWER-MANAGED MODES

PIC18F2525/2620/4525/4620 devices offer a total of

seven operating modes for more efficient power

management. These modes provide a variety of

options for selective power conservation in applications

where resources may be limited (i.e., battery-powered

devices).

There are three categories of power-managed modes:

• Run modes

• Idle modes

• Sleep mode

These categories define which portions of the device

are clocked and sometimes, what speed. The Run and

Idle modes may use any of the three available clock

sources (primary, secondary or internal oscillator

block); the Sleep mode does not use a clock source.

The power-managed modes include several power-

saving features offered on previous PIC® devices. One

is the clock switching feature, offered in other PIC18

devices, allowing the controller to use the Timer1 oscil-

lator in place of the primary oscillator. Also included is

the Sleep mode, offered by all PIC devices, where all

device clocks are stopped.

3.1 Selecting Power-Managed Modes

Selecting a power-managed mode requires two

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

selection of a clock source. The IDLEN bit

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

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

source. The individual modes, bit settings, clock sources

and 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

FOSC3:FOSC0 Configuration bits

• the secondary clock (the Timer1 oscillator)

• the internal oscillator block (for RC modes)

3.1.2 ENTERING POWER-MANAGED

MODES

Switching from one power-managed mode to another

begins by loading the OSCCON register. The

SCS1:SCS0 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.

PIC18F2525/2620/4525/4620

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.

Three bits indicate the current clock source and its

status. They are:

• OSTS (OSCCON<3>)

• IOFS (OSCCON<2>)

• T1RUN (T1CON<6>)

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

given power-managed mode. When the OSTS bit is

set, the primary clock is providing the device clock.

When the IOFS bit is set, the INTOSC output is

providing a stable, 8 MHz clock source to a divider that

actually drives the device clock. When the T1RUN bit is

set, the Timer1 oscillator is providing the clock. If none

of these bits are set, then either the INTRC clock

source is clocking the device, or the INTOSC source is

not yet stable.

If the internal oscillator block is configured as the primary

clock source by the FOSC3:FOSC0 Configuration bits,

then both the OSTS and IOFS bits may be set when in

PRI_RUN or PRI_IDLE modes. This indicates that the

primary clock (INTOSC output) is generating a stable,

8 MHz output. Entering another power-managed RC

mode at the same frequency would clear the OSTS bit.

3.1.4 MULTIPLE SLEEP COMMANDS

The power-managed mode that is invoked with the

SLEEP instruction is determined by the setting of the

IDLEN bit at the time the instruction is executed. If

another SLEEP instruction is executed, the device will

enter the power-managed 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 23.3 “Two-Speed Start-up”

for details). In this mode, the OSTS bit is set. The IOFS

bit may be set if the internal oscillator block is the

primary clock source (see Section 2.7.1 “Oscillator

Control Register”).

3.2.2 SEC_RUN MODE

The SEC_RUN mode is the compatible mode to the

“clock switching” feature offered in other PIC18

devices. In this mode, the CPU and peripherals are

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 oscillator

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

OSTS bit is cleared.

On transitions from SEC_RUN mode to PRI_RUN, the

peripherals and CPU continue to be clocked from the

Timer1 oscillator while the primary clock is started.

When 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.

Note 1: Caution should be used when modifying a

single IRCF bit. If VDD is less than 3V, it is

possible to select a higher clock speed

than is supported by the low VDD.

Improper device operation may result if

the VDD/FOSC specifications are violated.

2: Executing a SLEEP instruction does not

necessarily place the device into Sleep

mode. It acts as the trigger to place the

controller into either the Sleep mode or

one of the Idle modes, depending on the

setting of the IDLEN bit.

Note: The Timer1 oscillator should already be

running 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.

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)

3.2.3 RC_RUN MODE

In RC_RUN mode, the CPU and peripherals are

clocked from the internal oscillator block using the

INTOSC multiplexer. In this mode, the primary clock is

shut down. When using the INTRC source, this mode

provides the best power conservation of all the Run

modes, while still executing code. It works well for user

applications which are not highly timing sensitive or do

not require high-speed clocks at all times.

If the primary clock source is the internal oscillator block

(either INTRC or INTOSC), there are no distinguishable

differences between PRI_RUN and RC_RUN modes

during execution. However, a clock switch delay will

occur during entry to and exit from RC_RUN mode.

Therefore, if the primary clock source is the internal

oscillator block, the use of RC_RUN mode is not

recommended.

This mode is entered by setting the SCS1 bit to ‘1’.

Although it is ignored, it is recommended that the SCS0

bit also be cleared; this is to maintain software compat-

ibility with future devices. When the clock source is

switched to the INTOSC multiplexer (see Figure 3-3),

the primary oscillator is shut down and the OSTS bit is

cleared. The IRCF bits may be modified at any time to

immediately change the clock speed.

PIC18F2525/2620/4525/4620

If the IRCF bits and the INTSRC bit are all clear, the

INTOSC output is not enabled and the IOFS bit will

remain clear; there will be no indication of the current

clock source. The INTRC source is providing the

device clocks.

If the IRCF bits are changed from all clear (thus,

enabling the INTOSC output), or if INTSRC is set, the

IOFS bit becomes set after the INTOSC output

becomes stable. Clocks to the device continue while

the INTOSC source stabilizes after an interval of

TIOBST.

If the IRCF bits were previously at a non-zero value, or

if INTSRC was set before setting SCS1 and the

INTOSC source was already stable, the IOFS bit will

remain set.

On transitions from RC_RUN mode to PRI_RUN mode,

the device continues to be clocked from the INTOSC

multiplexer while the primary clock is started. When the

primary clock becomes ready, a clock switch to the

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

switch is complete, the IOFS bit is cleared, the OSTS

bit is set and the primary clock is providing the device

clock. The IDLEN and SCS bits are not affected by the

switch. The INTRC 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 in the PIC18F2525/

2620/4525/4620 devices is identical to the legacy

Sleep mode offered in all other PIC devices. It is

entered by clearing the IDLEN bit (the default state on

device Reset) and executing the SLEEP instruction.

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

clock source status bits are cleared.

Entering 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 block if either the Two-Speed

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

(see Section 23.0 “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 a ‘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 26-10) while it becomes ready to

execute code. When the CPU begins executing code,

it resumes with the same clock source for the current

Idle mode. For example, when waking from RC_IDLE

mode, the internal oscillator block will clock the CPU

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

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

While in any Idle mode or 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 clear the SCS bits and execute SLEEP.

Although the CPU is disabled, the peripherals continue

to be clocked from the primary clock source specified

by the FOSC3:FOSC0 Configuration bits. The OSTS

bit remains set (see Figure 3-7).

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

primary clock source. A delay of interval TCSD is

required between the wake event and when code

execution starts. This is required to allow the CPU to

become 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

setting the IDLEN bit and executing a SLEEP

instruction. If the device is in another Run mode, set the

IDLEN bit first, then set the SCS1:SCS0 bits to ‘01’ and

execute SLEEP. When the clock source is switched to

the Timer1 oscillator, the primary oscillator is shut down,

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

When a wake event occurs, the peripherals continue to

be clocked from the Timer1 oscillator. After an interval

of TCSD following 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 periph-

erals continue to be clocked from the internal oscillator

block using the INTOSC multiplexer. 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 set

the SCS1 bit and execute SLEEP. Although its value is

ignored, it is recommended that SCS0 also be cleared;

this is to maintain software compatibility with future

devices. The INTOSC multiplexer may be used to

select a higher clock frequency by modifying the IRCF

bits before executing the SLEEP instruction. When the

clock source is switched to the INTOSC multiplexer, the

primary oscillator is shut down and the OSTS bit is

cleared.

If the IRCF bits are set to any non-zero value, or the

INTSRC bit is set, the INTOSC output is enabled. The

IOFS bit becomes set, after the INTOSC output

becomes stable, after an interval of TIOBST

(parameter 39, Table 26-10). Clocks to the peripherals

continue while the INTOSC source stabilizes. If the

IRCF bits were previously at a non-zero value, or

INTSRC was set before the SLEEP instruction was

executed and the INTOSC source was already stable,

the IOFS bit will remain set. If the IRCF bits and

INTSRC are all clear, the INTOSC output will not be

enabled, the IOFS bit will remain clear and there will be

no indication of the current clock source.

When a wake event occurs, the peripherals continue to

be clocked from the INTOSC multiplexer. After a delay of

CSD following the wake event, the CPU begins execut-

ing code being clocked by the INTOSC multiplexer. The

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

The INTRC source will continue to run if either the WDT

or the Fail-Safe Clock Monitor is enabled.

3.5 Exiting Idle and Sleep Modes

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

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

This section discusses the triggers that cause exits

from power-managed modes. The clocking subsystem

actions are discussed in each of the power-managed

modes (see Section 3.2 “Run Modes”, Section 3.3

“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 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 10.0 “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 23.2 “Watchdog

Timer (WDT)”).

The WDT timer and postscaler are cleared by

executing a SLEEP or CLRWDT instruction, the loss of a

currently selected clock source (if the Fail-Safe Clock

Monitor is enabled) and modifying the IRCF bits in the

OSCCON register if the internal oscillator block is the

device clock source.

3.5.3 EXIT BY RESET

Normally, the device is held in Reset by the Oscillator

Start-up Timer (OST) until the primary clock becomes

ready. At that time, the OSTS bit is set and the device

begins executing code. If the internal oscillator block is

the new clock source, the IOFS bit is set instead.

The exit delay time from Reset to the start of code

execution depends on both the clock sources before

and after the wake-up and the type of oscillator if the

new clock source is the primary clock. Exit delays are

summarized in Table 3-2.

Code execution can begin before the primary clock

becomes ready. If either the Two-Speed Start-up (see

Section 23.3 “Two-Speed Start-up”) or Fail-Safe

Clock Monitor (see Section 23.4 “Fail-Safe Clock

Monitor”) is enabled, the device may begin execution

as soon as the Reset source has cleared. Execution is

clocked by the INTOSC multiplexer driven by the

internal oscillator block. Execution is clocked by the

internal oscillator block until either the primary clock

becomes ready or a power-managed mode is entered

before the primary clock becomes ready; the primary

clock is then shut down.

PIC18F2525/2620/4525/4620

3.5.4 EXIT WITHOUT AN OSCILLATOR

START-UP DELAY

Certain exits from power-managed modes do not

invoke the OST at all. There are two cases:

• PRI_IDLE mode, where the primary clock source

is not stopped; and

• the primary clock source is not any of the LP, XT,

HS or HSPLL modes.

In these instances, the primary clock source either

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

already running (PRI_IDLE), or normally does not

require an oscillator start-up delay (RC, EC and INTIO

Oscillator modes). However, a fixed delay of interval

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 PIC18F2525/2620/4525/4620 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) Programmable Brown-out Reset (BOR)

f) RESET Instruction

g) Stack Full Reset

h) 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 5.1.2.4 “Stack Full and Underflow Resets”.

WDT Resets are covered in Section 23.2 “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

ter indicate that a specific Reset event has occurred. In

most cases, these bits can only be cleared by the event

and must be set by the application after the event. The

state of these flag bits, taken together, can be read to

indicate the type of Reset that just occurred. This is

described in more detail in Section 4.6 “Reset State

of Registers”.

The RCON register also has control bits for setting

interrupt priority (IPEN) and software control of the

BOR (SBOREN). Interrupt priority is discussed in

Section 10.0 “Interrupts”. BOR is covered in

Section 4.4 “Brown-out Reset (BOR)”.

PIC18F2525/2620/4525/4620

4.2 Master Clear (MCLR)

The MCLR pin provides a method for triggering an

external Reset of the device. A Reset is generated by

holding the pin low. These 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.

In PIC18F2525/2620/4525/4620 devices, the MCLR

input can be disabled with the MCLRE Configuration

bit. When MCLR is disabled, the pin becomes a digital

input. See Section 9.5 “PORTE, TRISE and LATE

Registers” for more information.

4.3 Power-on Reset (POR)

A Power-on Reset pulse is generated on-chip

whenever VDD rises above a certain threshold. This

allows the device to start in the initialized state when

VDD is adequate for operation.

To take advantage of the POR circuitry, tie the MCLR

pin 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.

POR events are captured by the POR bit (RCON<1>).

The state of the bit is set to ‘0’ whenever a POR occurs;

it does not change for any other Reset event. POR is

not reset to ‘1’ by any hardware event. To capture

multiple events, the user manually resets the bit to ‘1’

in software following any POR.

FIGURE 4-2: EXTERNAL POWER-ON

RESET CIRCUIT (FOR

SLOW VDD POWER-U P)

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).

4.4 Brown-out Reset (BOR)

PIC18F2525/2620/4525/4620 devices implement a

BOR circuit that provides the user with a number of

configuration and power-saving options. The BOR is

controlled by the BORV1:BORV0 and

BOREN1:BOREN0 Configuration bits. There are a total

of four BOR configurations which are summarized in

Table 4-1.

The BOR threshold is set by the BORV1:BORV0 bits. If

BOR is enabled (any values of BOREN1:BOREN0,

except ‘00’), any drop of VDD below VBOR (parameter

D005) for greater than 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.

If the Power-up Timer is enabled, it will be invoked after

VDD rises above VBOR; it then will keep the chip in

Reset for an additional time delay, TPWRT

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

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

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

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

Timer will execute the additional time delay.

BOR and the Power-on Timer (PWRT) are

independently configured. Enabling BOR Reset does

not automatically enable the PWRT.

4.4.1 SOFTWARE ENABLED BOR

When BOREN1:BOREN0 = 01, the BOR can be

enabled or disabled by the user in software. This is

done with the control bit, SBOREN (RCON<6>).

Setting SBOREN enables the BOR to function as

previously described. Clearing SBOREN disables the

BOR entirely. The SBOREN bit operates only in this

mode; otherwise it is read as ‘0’.

Placing the BOR under software control gives the user

the additional flexibility of tailoring the application to its

environment without having to reprogram the device to

change BOR configuration. It also allows the user to

tailor device power consumption in software by elimi-

nating the incremental current that the BOR consumes.

While the BOR current is typically very small, it may

have some impact in low-power applications.

4.4.2 DETECTING BOR

When BOR is enabled, the BOR bit always resets to ‘0’

on any BOR or POR event. This makes it difficult to

determine if a BOR 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 POR event. If BOR is ‘0’ while

POR is ‘1’, it can be reliably assumed that a BOR event

has occurred.

4.4.3 DISABLING BOR IN SLEEP MODE

When BOREN1:BOREN0 = 10, the BOR remains

under hardware control and operates as previously

described. Whenever the device enters Sleep mode,

however, the BOR is automatically disabled. When the

device returns to any other operating mode, BOR is

automatically re-enabled.

This mode allows for applications to recover from

brown-out situations, while actively executing code,

when the device requires BOR protection the most. At

the same time, it saves additional power in Sleep mode

by eliminating the small incremental BOR current.

TABLE 4-1: BOR CONFIGURATIONS

Note: Even when BOR is under software control,

the BOR Reset voltage level is still set by

the BORV1:BORV0 Configuration bits. It

cannot be changed in software.

PIC18F2525/2620/4525/4620

4.5 Device Reset Timers

PIC18F2525/2620/4525/4620 devices incorporate three

separate on-chip timers that help regulate the Power-on

Reset process. Their main function is to ensure that the

device clock is stable before code is executed. These

timers are:

• Power-up Timer (PWRT)

• Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST)

• PLL Lock Time-out

4.5.1 POWER-UP TIMER (PWRT)

The Power-up Timer (PWRT) of PIC18F2525/2620/

4525/4620 devices is an 11-bit counter which uses

the INTRC source as the clock input. This yields an

approximate time interval of 2048 x 32 μs=65.6ms.

While the PWRT is counting, the device is held in

Reset.

The 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.

The PWRT is enabled by clearing the PWRTEN

Configuration bit.

4.5.2 OSCILLATOR START-UP TIMER

(OST)

The Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) provides a

1024 oscillator cycle (from OSC1 input) delay after the

PWRT delay is over (parameter 33). This ensures that

the crystal oscillator or resonator has started and

stabilized.

The OST time-out is invoked only for XT, LP, HS and

HSPLL modes and only on Power-on Reset, or on exit

from most power-managed modes.

4.5.3 PLL LOCK TIME-OUT

With the PLL enabled in its PLL mode, the time-out

sequence following a Power-on Reset is slightly differ-

ent from other oscillator modes. A separate timer is

used to provide a fixed time-out that is sufficient for the

PLL to lock to the main oscillator frequency. This PLL

lock time-out (TPLL) is typically 2 ms and follows the

oscillator start-up time-out.

4.5.4 TIME-OUT SEQUENCE

On power-up, the time-out sequence is as follows:

1. After the POR pulse has cleared, PWRT time-out

is invoked (if enabled).

2. Then, the OST is activated.

The total time-out will vary based on oscillator configu-

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

Figure 4-4, Figure 4-5, Figure 4-6 and Figure 4-7 all

depict time-out sequences on power-up, with the

Power-up Timer enabled and the device operating in

HS Oscillator mode. Figures 4-3 through 4-6 also

apply to devices operating in XT or LP modes. For

devices in RC mode and with the PWRT disabled, there

will be no time-out at all.

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

is kept low long enough, all time-outs will expire. Bring-

ing MCLR high will begin execution immediately

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

synchronize more than one PIC18FXXXX device

operating in parallel.

4.6 Reset State of Registers

Most registers are unaffected by a Reset. Their status

is unknown on POR and unchanged by all other

Resets. The other registers are forced to a “Reset

state” depending on the type of Reset that occurred.

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

since this is viewed as the resumption of normal oper-

ation. Status bits from the RCON register, RI, TO, PD,

POR and BOR, are set or cleared differently in different

Reset situations, as indicated in Table 4-3. These bits

are used in software to determine the nature of the

Reset.

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

Special Function Registers. These are categorized by

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

WDT Resets and WDT wake-ups.

PIC18F2525/2620/4525/4620

5.0 MEMORY ORGANIZATION

There are three types of memory in PIC18 enhanced

microcontroller devices:

• Program Memory

• Data RAM

• Data EEPROM

As Harvard architecture devices, the data and program

memories use separate busses; this allows for con-

current access of the two memory spaces. The data

EEPROM, for practical purposes, can be regarded as

a peripheral device, since it is addressed and accessed

through a set of control registers.

Additional detailed information on the operation of the

Flash program memory is provided in Section 7.0

“Flash Program Memory”. Data EEPROM is

discussed separately in Section 6.0 “Data EEPROM

Memory”.

5.1 Program Memory Organization

PIC18 microcontrollers implement a 21-bit program

counter, which is capable of addressing a 2-Mbyte

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 PIC18F2525 and PIC18F4525 each have

48 Kbytes of Flash memory and can store up to 24,576

single-word instructions. The PIC18F2620 and

PIC18F4620 each have 64 Kbytes of Flash memory

and can store up to 32,768 single-word instructions.

PIC18 devices have two interrupt vectors. The Reset

vector address is at 0000h and the interrupt vector

addresses are at 0008h and 0018h.

The program memory maps for PIC18FX525 and

PIC18FX620 devices are shown in Figure 5-1.

5.1.1 PROGRAM COUNTER

The 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 5.1.4.1 “Computed

GOTO”).

The PC addresses bytes in the program memory. To

prevent the PC from becoming misaligned with word

instructions, the Least Significant bit of PCL is fixed to

a value 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.

5.1.2 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. 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 File 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 or has overflowed or has underflowed.

5.1.2.1 Top-of-Stack Access

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

readable and writable. A set of three registers,

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

location pointed to by the STKPTR register (Figure 5-2).

This allows users to implement a software stack if

necessary. After a CALL, RCALL or interrupt, the

software can read the pushed value by reading the

TOSU:TOSH:TOSL registers. These values can be

placed on a user-defined software stack. At return time,

the software can return these values to

TOSU:TOSH:TOSL and do a return.

The user must disable the global interrupt enable bits

while accessing the stack to prevent inadvertent stack

corruption.

5.1.2.2 Return Stack Pointer (STKPTR)

The STKPTR register (Register 5-1) 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

Overflow Reset Enable) Configuration bit. (Refer to

Section 23.1 “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 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 sets the STKUNF bit, while the Stack

Pointer remains at zero. The STKUNF bit will remain

set until cleared by software or until a POR occurs.

5.1.2.3 PUSH and POP Instructions

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

ability to push values onto the stack and pull values off

the stack without disturbing normal program execution

is a desirable feature. The PIC18 instruction set

includes two instructions, PUSH and POP, that permit

the TOS to be manipulated under software control.

TOSU, 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 decre-

menting the Stack Pointer. The previous value pushed

onto the stack then becomes the TOS value.

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

underflow has the effect of vectoring the

program to the Reset vector, where the

stack conditions can be verified and

appropriate actions can be taken. This is

not the same as a Reset, as the contents

of the SFRs are not affected.

PIC18F2525/2620/4525/4620

5.1.2.4 Stack Full and Underflow Resets

Device Resets on stack overflow and stack underflow

conditions are enabled by setting the STVREN bit in

Configuration Register 4L. When STVREN is set, a full

or underflow will set the appropriate STKFUL or

STKUNF bit and then cause a device Reset. When

STVREN is cleared, a full or underflow condition will set

the appropriate STKFUL or STKUNF bit but not cause

a device Reset. The STKFUL or STKUNF bits are

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

5.1.3 FAST REGISTER STACK

A Fast Register Stack is provided for the STATUS,

WREG and BSR registers, to provide a “fast return”

option for interrupts. The stack for each register is only

one level deep and is neither readable nor writable. It is

loaded with the current value of the corresponding reg-

ister when the processor vectors for an interrupt. All

interrupt sources will push values into the stack regis-

ters. The values in the registers are then loaded back

into their associated registers if the RETFIE, FAST

instruction is used to return from the interrupt.

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

stack registers cannot be used reliably to return from

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

while servicing a low-priority interrupt, the stack regis-

ter values stored by the low-priority interrupt will be

overwritten. In these cases, users must save the key

registers in software during a low-priority interrupt.

If interrupt 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

5.1.4 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

5.1.4.1 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

5.1.4.2 Table Reads and Table Writes

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 by using table reads and writes. The

Table Pointer (TBLPTR) register specifies the byte

address and the Table Latch (TABLAT) register

contains the data that is read from or written to program

memory. Data is transferred to or from program

memory one byte at a time.

Table read and table write operations are discussed

further in Section 7.1 “Table Reads and Table

Writes”.

5.2 PIC18 Instruction Cycle

5.2.1 CLOCKING SCHEME

The microcontroller clock input, whether from an

internal or external source, is internally divided by four

to generate four non-overlapping quadrature clocks

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

incremented on every Q1; the instruction is fetched

from the program memory and latched into the

instruction register during Q4. The instruction is

decoded and executed during the following Q1 through

Q4. The clocks and instruction execution flow are

shown in Figure 5-3.

5.2.2 INSTRUCTION FLOW/PIPELINING

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

through Q4. The instruction fetch and execute are

pipelined in such a manner that a fetch takes one

instruction cycle, while the decode and execute take

another instruction cycle. However, due to the pipe-

lining, each instruction effectively executes in one

cycle. If an instruction causes the program counter to

change (e.g., GOTO), then two cycles are required to

complete the instruction (Example 5-3).

A fetch cycle begins with the Program Counter (PC)

incrementing in Q1.

In the 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).

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 5.1.1

“Program Counter”).

Figure 5-4 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 5-4 shows how the

instruction GOTO 0006h is encoded in the program

memory. Program branch instructions, which encode a

relative address offset, operate in the same manner. The

offset value stored in a branch instruction represents the

number of single-word instructions that the PC will be

offset by. Section 24.0 “Instruction Set Summary”

provides further details of the instruction set.

FIGURE 5-4: INSTRUCTIONS IN PROGRAM MEMORY

5.2.4 TWO-WORD INSTRUCTIONS

The standard PIC18 instruction set has four two-word

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

cases, the 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 spec-

ifies 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

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; PIC18F2525/

2620/4525/4620 devices implement all 16 banks.

Figure 5-5 shows the data memory organization for the

PIC18F2525/2620/4525/4620 devices.

The data memory contains Special Function Registers

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

SFRs are used for control and status of the controller

and 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

subsection.

To ensure that commonly used registers (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 SFRs and

the lower portion of GPR Bank 0 without using the

BSR. Section 5.3.2 “Access Bank” provides a

detailed description of the Access RAM.

5.3.1 BANK SELECT REGISTER (BSR)

Large areas of data memory require an efficient

addressing scheme to make rapid access to any

address possible. Ideally, this means that an entire

address 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 four 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

memory; 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 5-6.

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 5-5 indicates which banks are implemented.

In the core PIC18 instruction set, only the MOVFF

instruction fully specifies the 12-bit address of the

source 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 5.5 “Data Memory and the

Extended Instruction Set” for more

information.

FIGURE 5-6: USE OF THE BANK SELECT REGISTER (DIRECT ADDRESSING)

5.3.2 ACCESS BANK

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

address allows users to address the entire range of

data 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 128 bytes of

memory (00h-7Fh) in Bank 0 and the last 128 bytes of

memory (80h-FFh) in Block 15. The lower half is known

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

upper half is also where the device’s SFRs are

mapped. These two areas are mapped contiguously in

the Access Bank and can be addressed in a linear

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

The Access Bank is used by core PIC18 instructions

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

the instruction). When ‘a’ is equal to ‘1’, 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 80h and

above, this means that users can evaluate and operate

on SFRs more efficiently. The Access RAM below 80h

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 5.5.3 “Mapping the Access Bank in

Indexed Literal Offset Addressing 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

the top half of Bank 15 (F80h to FFFh). A list of these

registers is given in Table 5-1 and Table 5-2.

The SFRs can be classified into two sets: those associ-

ated with the “core” device functionality (ALU, Resets

and interrupts) and those related to the peripheral

functions. The reset and interrupt registers are

described in their respective chapters, while the ALU’s

STATUS register is described later in this section.

Registers related to the operation of a peripheral feature

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.

5.3.5 STATUS REGISTER

The STATUS register, shown in Register 5-2, contains

the arithmetic status of the ALU. As with any other SFR,

it can be the operand for any instruction.

If the STATUS register is the destination for an instruc-

tion that affects the Z, DC, C, OV or N bits, the results

of the instruction are not written; instead, the STATUS

formed. Therefore, the result of an instruction with the

STATUS register as its destination may be different

than intended. As an example, CLRF STATUS will set

the Z bit and leave the remaining Status bits

unchanged (‘000u u1uu’).

It is recommended that only BCF, BSF, SWAPF, MOVFF

and MOVWF instructions are used to alter the STATUS

C, DC, OV or N bits in the STATUS register.

For other instructions that do not affect Status bits, see

the instruction set summaries in Table 24-2 and

Table 24-3.

Note: The C and DC bits operate as the borrow

and digit borrow bits, respectively, in

subtraction.

PIC18F2525/2620/4525/4620

5.4 Data Addressing Modes

The data memory space can be addressed in several

ways. For most instructions, the addressing mode is

fixed. Other instructions may use up to three modes,

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 5.5.1 “Indexed

Addressing with Literal Offset”.

5.4.1 INHERENT AND LITERAL

ADDRESSING

Many PIC18 control instructions do not need any

argument at all; they either perform an operation that

globally affects the device or they operate implicitly on

one register. This addressing mode is known as Inherent

Addressing. Examples 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 (BSR)”) 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.

INDIRECT ADDRESSING

Note: The execution of some instructions in the

core PIC18 instruction set are changed

when the PIC18 extended instruction set is

enabled. See Section 5.5 “Data Memory

and the Extended Instruction Set” for

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

Indirect File Operands, INDF0 through INDF2. These

can be thought of as “virtual” registers: they are

mapped in the SFR space but are not physically imple-

mented. Reading or writing to a particular INDF register

actually accesses its corresponding FSR register pair.

A read from INDF1, for example, reads the data at the

address indicated by FSR1H:FSR1L. Instructions that

use the INDF registers as operands actually use the

contents of their corresponding FSR as a pointer to the

instruction’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.

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. Sim-

ilarly, accessing a PLUSW register gives the FSR value

offset by that 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.).

PIC18F2525/2620/4525/4620

The PLUSW register can be used to implement a form

of Indexed Addressing in the data memory space. By

manipulating the value in the W register, users can

reach addresses that are fixed offsets from pointer

addresses. In some applications, this can be used to

implement some powerful program control structure,

such as software stacks, inside of data memory.

5.4.3.3 Operations by FSRs on FSRs

Indirect Addressing operations that target other FSRs

or virtual registers represent special cases. For exam-

ple, 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.

5.5 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. Specifically,

the use of the Access Bank for many of the core PIC18

instructions is different; this is due to the introduction of

a new addressing mode for the data memory space.

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.

5.5.1 INDEXED ADDRESSING WITH

LITERAL OFFSET

Enabling the PIC18 extended instruction set changes

the behavior of Indirect Addressing using the FSR2

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 instruc-

tion 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.

5.5.2 INSTRUCTIONS AFFECTED BY

INDEXED LITERAL OFFSET MODE

Any of the core PIC18 instructions that can use Direct

Addressing are potentially affected by the Indexed

Literal Offset Addressing mode. This includes all

byte-oriented and bit-oriented instructions, or almost

one-half of the standard PIC18 instruction set.

Instructions that only use Inherent or Literal Addressing

modes are unaffected.

Additionally, byte-oriented and bit-oriented instructions

are not affected if they do not 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 dif-

ferent possible addressing modes when the extended

instruction set is enabled is shown in Figure 5-8.

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

instructions in the Indexed Literal Offset mode should

note the changes to assembler syntax for this mode.

This is described in more detail in Section 24.2.1

“Extended Instruction Syntax”.

5.5.3 MAPPING THE ACCESS BANK IN

INDEXED LITERAL OFFSET

ADDRESSING MODE

The use of Indexed Literal Offset Addressing mode

effectively changes how the first 96 locations of Access

RAM (00h to 5Fh) are mapped. Rather than containing

just the contents of the bottom half of Bank 0, this mode

maps the contents from Bank 0 and a user-defined

“window” that can be located anywhere in the data

memory space. The value of FSR2 establishes the

lower boundary of the addresses mapped into the

window, while the upper boundary is defined by FSR2

plus 95 (5Fh). Addresses in the Access RAM above

5Fh are mapped as previously described (see

Section 5.3.2 “Access Bank”). An example of Access

Bank remapping in this addressing mode is shown in

Figure 5-9.

Remapping of the Access Bank applies only to opera-

tions using the Indexed Literal Offset Addressing

mode. Operations that use the BSR (Access RAM bit is

‘1’) will continue to use Direct Addressing as before.

5.6 PIC18 Instruction Execution and

the Extended Instruction Set

Enabling the extended instruction set adds eight

additional commands to the existing PIC18 instruction

set. These instructions are executed as described in

Section 24.2 “Extended Instruction Set”.

NOTES:

PIC18F2525/2620/4525/4620

6.0 DATA EEPROM MEMORY

The data EEPROM is a nonvolatile memory array,

separate from the data RAM and program memory, that

is used for long-term storage of program data. It is not

directly mapped in either the register file or program

memory space but is indirectly addressed through the

Special Function Registers (SFRs). The EEPROM is

readable and writable during normal operation over the

entire VDD range.

Five SFRs are used to read and write to the data

EEPROM as well as the program memory. They are:

• EECON1

• EECON2

• EEDATA

• EEADR

• EEADRH

The data EEPROM allows byte read and write. When

interfacing to the data memory block, EEDATA holds

the 8-bit data for read/write and the EEADRH:EEADR

being accessed.

The EEPROM data memory is rated for high erase/write

cycle endurance. A byte write automatically erases the

location and writes the new data (erase-before-write).

The write time is controlled by an on-chip timer; it will

vary with voltage and temperature as well as from chip

to chip. Please refer to parameter D122 (Table 26-1 in

Section 26.0 “Electrical Characteristics”) for exact

limits.

6.1 EEADR and EEADRH Registers

The EEADRH:EEADR register pair is used to address

the data EEPROM for read and write operations.

EEADRH holds the two MSbits of the address; the

upper 6 bits are ignored. The 10-bit range of the pair

can address a memory range of 1024 bytes (00h to

3FFh).

6.2 EECON1 and EECON2 Registers

Access to the data EEPROM is controlled by two

registers: EECON1 and EECON2. These are the same

registers which control access to the program memory

and are used in a similar manner for the data

EEPROM.

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

bit EEPGD determines if the access will be to program

or data EEPROM memory. When clear, operations will

access the data EEPROM memory. When set, program

memory is accessed.

Control bit, CFGS, determines if the access will be to

the Configuration registers or to program memory/data

EEPROM memory. When set, subsequent operations

access Configuration registers. When CFGS is clear,

the EEPGD bit selects either Flash program or data

EEPROM memory.

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

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

set in hardware when the WREN bit is set and cleared

when the internal programming timer expires and the

write operation is complete.

The WR control bit initiates write operations. The bit

cannot be cleared, only set, in software; it is cleared in

hardware at the completion of the write operation.

Control bits, RD and WR, start read and erase/write

operations, respectively. These bits are set by firmware

and cleared by hardware at the completion of the

operation.

The RD bit cannot be set when accessing program

memory (EEPGD = 1). Program memory is read using

table read instructions. See Section 7.1 “Table Reads

and Table Writes” regarding table reads.

The EECON2 register is not a physical register. It is

used exclusively in the memory write and erase

sequences. Reading EECON2 will read all ‘0’s.

Note: During normal operation, the WRERR is

read as ‘1’. This can indicate that a write

operation was prematurely terminated by

a Reset, or a write operation was

attempted improperly.

Note: The EEIF interrupt flag bit (PIR2<4>) is set

when the write is complete. It must be

cleared in software.

PIC18F2525/2620/4525/4620

6.3 Reading the Data EEPROM

Memory

To read a data memory location, the user must write the

address to the EEADRH:EEADR register pair, clear the

EEPGD control bit (EECON1<7>) and then set control

bit, RD (EECON1<0>). The data is available on the

very next instruction cycle; therefore, the EEDATA

will hold this value until another read operation, or until

it is written to by the user (during a write operation).

The basic process is shown in Example 6-1.

6.4 Writing to the Data EEPROM

Memory

To write an EEPROM data location, the address must

first be written to the EEADRH:EEADR register pair

and the data written to the EEDATA register. The

sequence in Example 6-2 must be followed to initiate

the write cycle.

The write will not begin if this sequence is not exactly

followed (write 55h to EECON2, write 0AAh to

EECON2, then set WR bit) for each byte. It is strongly

recommended that interrupts be disabled during this

code segment.

Additionally, the WREN bit in EECON1 must be set to

enable writes. This mechanism prevents accidental

writes to data EEPROM due to unexpected code

execution (i.e., runaway programs). The WREN bit

should be kept clear at all times, except when updating

the EEPROM. The WREN bit is not cleared by

hardware.

After a write sequence has been initiated, EECON1,

EEADRH:EEADR and EEDATA cannot be modified.

The WR bit will be inhibited from being set unless the

WREN bit is set. The WREN bit must be set on a

previous instruction. Both WR and WREN cannot be

set with the same instruction.

At the completion of the write cycle, the WR bit is

cleared in hardware and the EEPROM Interrupt Flag

bit, EEIF, is set. The user may either enable this

interrupt, or poll this bit. EEIF must be cleared by

software.

6.5 Write Verify

Depending on the application, good programming

practice may dictate that the value written to the mem-

ory should be verified against the original value. This

should be used in applications where excessive writes

can stress bits near the specification limit.

6.6 Operation During Code-Protect

Data EEPROM memory has its own code-protect bits in

Configuration Words. External read and write

operations are disabled if code protection is enabled.

The microcontroller itself can both read and write to the

internal data EEPROM, regardless of the state of the

code-protect Configuration bit. Refer to Section 23.0

“Special Features of the CPU” for additional

information.

6.7 Protection Against Spurious Write

There are conditions when the device may not want to

write to the data EEPROM memory. To protect against

spurious EEPROM writes, various mechanisms have

been implemented. On power-up, the WREN bit is

cleared. In addition, writes to the EEPROM are blocked

during the Power-up Timer period (TPWRT,

parameter 33).

The write initiate sequence and the WREN bit together

help prevent an accidental write during Brown-out

Reset, power glitch or software malfunction.

6.8 Using the Data EEPROM

The data EEPROM is a high-endurance, byte-address-

able array that has been optimized for the storage of

frequently changing information (e.g., program

variables or other data that are updated often).

Frequently changing values will typically be updated

more often than specification D124. If this is not the

case, an array refresh must be performed. For this

reason, variables that change infrequently (such as

constants, IDs, calibration, etc.) should be stored in

Flash program memory.

A simple data EEPROM refresh routine is shown in

Example 6-3.

EXAMPLE 6-3: DATA EEPROM REFRESH ROUTINE

Note: If data EEPROM is only used to store

constants and/or data that changes often,

an array refresh is likely not required. See

specification D124.

7.0 FLASH PROGRAM MEMORY

The Flash program memory is readable, writable and

erasable during normal operation over the entire VDD

range.

A read from program memory is executed on one byte

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

blocks of 64 bytes at a time. Program memory is

erased in blocks of 64 bytes at a time. A bulk erase

operation may not be issued from user code.

Writing or erasing program memory will cease

instruction fetches until the operation is complete. The

program memory cannot be accessed during the write

or erase, therefore, code cannot execute. An internal

programming timer terminates program memory writes

and erases.

A value 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.

7.1 Table Reads and Table Writes

In order to read and write program memory, there are

two operations that allow the processor to move bytes

between the program memory space and the data RAM:

• Table Read (TBLRD)

• Table Write (TBLWT)

The program memory space is 16 bits wide, while the

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

writes move data between these two memory spaces

through an 8-bit register (TABLAT).

Table read operations retrieve data from program

memory and place it into the data RAM space.

Figure 7-1 shows the operation of a table read with

program memory and data RAM.

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 7.5 “Writing

to Flash Program Memory”. Figure 7-2 shows the

operation of a table write with program memory and data

RAM.

Table operations work with byte entities. A table block

containing data, rather than program instructions, is not

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

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

used to write executable code into program memory,

program instructions will need to be word-aligned.

FIGURE 7-2: TABLE WRITE OPERATION

7.2 Control Registers

Several control registers are used in conjunction with

the TBLRD and TBLWT instructions. These include the:

• EECON1 register

• EECON2 register

• TABLAT register

• TBLPTR registers

7.2.1 EECON1 AND EECON2 REGISTERS

The EECON1 register (Register 7-1) is the control

not a physical register; it is used exclusively in the

memory write and erase sequences. Reading

EECON2 will read all ‘0’s.

The EEPGD control bit determines if the access will be

a program or data EEPROM memory access. When

clear, any subsequent operations will operate on the

data EEPROM memory. When set, any subsequent

operations will operate on the program memory.

The CFGS control bit determines if the access will be

to the Configuration/Calibration registers or to program

memory/data EEPROM memory. When set,

subsequent operations will operate on Configuration

registers regardless of EEPGD (see Section 23.0

“Special Features of the CPU”). When clear, memory

selection access is determined by EEPGD.

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

erase operation. When FREE is set, the erase

operation is initiated on the next WR command. When

FREE is clear, only writes are 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.

PIC18F2525/2620/4525/4620

7.2.2 TABLAT – TABLE LATCH REGISTER

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.

7.2.3 TBLPTR – TABLE POINTER

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 7-1. These operations on the TBLPTR only affect

the low-order 21 bits.

7.2.4 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 six LSbs of the Table

Pointer register (TBLPTR<5:0>) determine which of the

64 program memory holding registers is written to.

When the timed write to program memory begins (via

the WR bit), the 16 MSbs of the TBLPTR

(TBLPTR<21:6>) determine which program memory

block of 64 bytes is written to. For more detail, see

Section 7.5 “Writing to Flash Program Memory”.

When an erase of program memory is executed, the

16 MSbs of the Table Pointer register (TBLPTR<21:6>)

point to the 64-byte block that will be erased. The Least

Significant bits (TBLPTR<5:0>) are ignored.

Figure 7-3 describes the relevant boundaries of

TBLPTR based on Flash program memory operations.

7.3 Reading the Flash Program

Memory

The TBLRD instruction is used to retrieve data from

program memory and places it into data RAM. Table

reads 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 7-4

shows the interface between the internal program

memory and the TABLAT.

7.4 Erasing Flash Program Memory

The minimum erase block is 32 words or 64 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 64 bytes of program memory

is erased. The Most Significant 16 bits of the

TBLPTR<21:6> point to the block being erased.

TBLPTR<5:0> are ignored.

The EECON1 register commands the erase operation.

The EEPGD bit must be set to point to the Flash

program memory. 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.

7.4.1 FLASH PROGRAM MEMORY

ERASE SEQUENCE

The sequence of events for erasing a block of internal

program memory location is:

1. Load Table Pointer register with address of row

being erased.

2. Set the EECON1 register for the erase operation:

• set EEPGD bit to point to program memory;

• clear the CFGS bit to access program memory;

• set WREN bit to enable writes;

• set FREE bit to enable the erase.

3. Disable 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

(about 2 ms using internal timer).

8. Re-enable interrupts.

PIC18F2525/2620/4525/4620

7.5 Writing to Flash Program Memory

The minimum programming block is 32 words or

64 bytes. Word or byte programming is not supported.

Table writes are used internally to load the holding

registers needed to program the Flash memory. There

are 64 holding registers used by the table writes for

programming.

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

the TBLWT instruction may need to be executed

64 times for each programming operation. All of the

table write operations will essentially be short writes

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

internal Flash. Instruction execution is halted while in a

long write cycle. The long write will be terminated by

the internal programming timer.

The EEPROM on-chip timer controls the write time.

The write/erase voltages are generated by an on-chip

charge pump, rated to operate over the voltage range

of the device.

FIGURE 7-5: TABLE WRITES TO FLASH PROGRAM MEMORY

7.5.1 FLASH PROGRAM MEMORY

WRITE SEQUENCE

The sequence of events for programming an internal

program memory location should be:

1. Read 64 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.

6. Write the 64 bytes into the holding registers with

auto-increment.

7. Set the EECON1 register for the write operation:

• set EEPGD bit to point to program memory;

• clear the CFGS bit to access program memory;

• set WREN to enable byte writes.

8. Disable 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 (about

2 ms using internal timer).

13. Re-enable interrupts.

14. Verify the memory (table read).

This procedure will require about 6 ms to update one

row of 64 bytes of memory. An example of the required

code is given in Example 7-3.

Note: The default value of the holding registers on

device Resets and after write operations is

FFh. A write of FFh to a holding register

does not modify that byte. This means that

individual bytes of program memory may be

modified, provided that the change does not

attempt to change any bit from a ‘0’ to a ‘1’.

When modifying individual bytes, it is not

necessary to load all 64 holding registers

before executing a write operation.

Depending on the application, good programming

practice may dictate that the value written to the

memory should be verified against the original value.

This should be used in applications where excessive

writes can stress bits near the specification limit.

7.5.3 UNEXPECTED TERMINATION OF

WRITE OPERATION

If a 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.

7.5.4 PROTECTION AGAINST

SPURIOUS WRITES

To protect against spurious writes to Flash program

memory, the write initiate sequence must also be

followed. See Section 23.0 “Special Features of

the CPU” for more detail.

7.6 Flash Program Operation During

Code Protection

See Section 23.5 “Program Verification and Code

Protection” for details on code protection of Flash

program memory.

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

arguments, each argument’s Most Significant bit (MSb)

is tested and the appropriate subtractions are done.

9.0 I/O PORTS

Depending on the device selected and features

enabled, there are up to five ports available. Some pins

of the I/O ports are multiplexed with an alternate

function from the peripheral features on the device. In

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

be used as a general purpose I/O pin.

Each port has three registers for its operation. These

registers are:

• TRIS register (data direction register)

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

device)

• LAT register (output latch)

The Data Latch (LAT register) is useful for read-modify-

write operations on the value that the I/O pins are

driving.

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

interfaces to other peripherals, is shown in Figure 9-1.

FIGURE 9-1: GENERIC I/O PORT

OPERATION

9.1 PORTA, TRISA and LATA Registers

PORTA is a 8-bit wide, bidirectional port. The corre-

sponding Data Direction register is TRISA. Setting a

TRISA bit (= 1) will make the corresponding PORTA pin

an input (i.e., put the corresponding output driver in a

high-impedance mode). Clearing a TRISA bit (= 0) will

make the corresponding PORTA pin an output (i.e., put

the contents of the output latch on the selected pin).

Reading the PORTA register reads the status of the

pins, whereas writing to it, will write to the port latch.

The Data Latch (LATA) register is also memory mapped.

Read-modify-write operations on the LATA register read

and write the latched output value for PORTA.

The RA4 pin is multiplexed with the Timer0 module

clock input and one of the comparator outputs to

become the RA4/T0CKI/C1OUT pin. Pins RA6 and

RA7 are multiplexed with the main oscillator pins; they

are enabled as oscillator or I/O pins by the selection of

the main oscillator in the Configuration register (see

Section 23.1 “Configuration Bits” for details). When

they are not used as port pins, RA6 and RA7 and their

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

The other PORTA pins are multiplexed with analog

inputs, the analog VREF+ and VREF- inputs and the

comparator voltage reference output. The operation of

pins RA3:RA0 and RA5 as A/D converter inputs is

selected by clearing or setting the control bits in the

ADCON1 register (A/D Control Register 1).

Pins RA0 through RA5 may also be used as comparator

inputs or outputs by setting the appropriate bits in the

CMCON register. To use RA3:RA0 as digital inputs, it is

also necessary to turn off the comparators.

The RA4/T0CKI/C1OUT pin is a Schmitt Trigger input.

All other PORTA pins have TTL input levels. All PORTA

pins have 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.

9.2 PORTB, TRISB and LATB

Registers

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

corresponding Data Direction register is TRISB. Setting

a TRISB bit (= 1) will make the corresponding PORTB

pin an input (i.e., put the corresponding output driver in

a high-impedance mode). Clearing a TRISB bit (= 0)

will make the corresponding PORTB pin an output (i.e.,

put the contents of the output latch on the selected pin).

The Data Latch register (LATB) is also memory

mapped. Read-modify-write operations on the LATB

PORTB.

EXAMPLE 9-2: INITIALIZING PORTB

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 the Sleep

mode, or any of the Idle modes. The user, in the

Interrupt Service Routine, can clear the interrupt in the

following manner:

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

MOVFF (ANY), PORTB instruction).

b) 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.

RB3 can be configured by the Configuration bit,

CCP2MX, as the alternate peripheral pin for the CCP2

module (CCP2MX = 0).

Note: On a Power-on Reset, RB4:RB0 are

configured as analog inputs by default and

read as ‘0’; RB7:RB5 are configured as

digital inputs.

By programming the Configuration bit,

PBADEN, RB4:RB0 will alternatively be

configured as digital inputs on POR.

9.3 PORTC, TRISC and LATC

Registers

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

corresponding Data Direction register is TRISC. Set-

ting a TRISC bit (= 1) will make the corresponding

PORTC pin an input (i.e., put the corresponding output

driver in a high-impedance mode). Clearing a TRISC

bit (= 0) will make the corresponding PORTC pin an

output (i.e., put the contents of the output latch on the

selected pin).

The Data Latch register (LATC) is also memory

mapped. Read-modify-write operations on the LATC

PORTC.

PORTC is multiplexed with several peripheral functions

(Table 9-5). The pins have Schmitt Trigger input

buffers. RC1 is normally configured by Configuration

bit, CCP2MX, as the default peripheral pin of the CCP2

module (default/erased state, CCP2MX = 1).

When enabling peripheral functions, care should be

taken in defining TRIS bits for each PORTC pin. Some

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

while other peripherals override the TRIS bit to make a

pin an input. The user should refer to the corresponding

peripheral section for additional information.

The contents of the TRISC register are affected by

peripheral overrides. Reading TRISC always returns

the current contents, even though a peripheral device

may be overriding one or more of the pins.

9.4 PORTD, TRISD and LATD

Registers

PORTD is an 8-bit wide, bidirectional port. The

corresponding Data Direction register is TRISD. Set-

ting a TRISD bit (= 1) will make the corresponding

PORTD pin an input (i.e., put the corresponding output

driver in a high-impedance mode). Clearing a TRISD

bit (= 0) will make the corresponding PORTD pin an

output (i.e., put the contents of the output latch on the

selected pin).

The Data Latch register (LATD) is also memory

mapped. Read-modify-write operations on the LATD

PORTD.

All pins on PORTD are implemented with Schmitt Trigger

input buffers. Each pin is individually configurable as an

input or output.

Three of the PORTD pins are multiplexed with outputs

P1B, P1C and P1D of the Enhanced CCP module. The

operation of these additional PWM output pins is

covered in greater detail in Section 16.0 “Enhanced

Capture/Compare/PWM (ECCP) Module”.

PORTD can also be configured as an 8-bit wide micro-

processor port (Parallel Slave Port) by setting control

bit, PSPMODE (TRISE<4>). In this mode, the input

buffers are TTL. See Section 9.6 “Parallel Slave

Port” for additional information on the Parallel Slave

Port (PSP).

EXAMPLE 9-4: INITIALIZING PORTD

Note: PORTD is only available on 40/44-pin

devices.

Note: On a Power-on Reset, these pins are

configured as digital inputs.

Note: When the Enhanced PWM mode is used

with either dual or quad outputs, the PSP

functions of PORTD are automatically

disabled.

9.5 PORTE, TRISE and LATE

Registers

Depending on the particular PIC18F2525/2620/4525/

4620 device selected, PORTE is implemented in two

different ways.

For 40/44-pin devices, PORTE is a 4-bit wide port.

Three pins (RE0/RD/AN5, RE1/WR/AN6 and RE2/CS/

AN7) are individually configurable as inputs or outputs.

These pins have Schmitt Trigger input buffers. When

selected as an analog input, these pins will read as ‘0’s.

The corresponding Data Direction register is TRISE.

Setting a TRISE bit (= 1) will make the corresponding

PORTE pin an input (i.e., put the corresponding output

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

(= 0) will make the corresponding PORTE pin an output

(i.e., put the contents of the output latch on the selected

pin).

TRISE controls the direction of the RE pins, even when

they are being used as analog inputs. The user must

make sure to keep the pins configured as inputs when

using them as analog inputs.

The upper four bits of the TRISE register also control

the operation of the Parallel Slave Port. Their operation

is explained in Register 9-1.

The Data Latch register (LATE) is also memory

mapped. Read-modify-write operations on the LATE

PORTE.

The fourth pin of PORTE (MCLR/VPP/RE3) is an input

only pin. Its operation is controlled by the MCLRE Con-

figuration bit. When selected as a port pin (MCLRE = 0),

it functions as a digital input only pin; as such, it does not

have TRIS or LAT bits associated with its operation.

Otherwise, it functions as the device’s Master Clear

input. In either configuration, RE3 also functions as the

programming voltage input during programming.

EXAMPLE 9-5: INITIALIZING PORTE

9.5.1 PORTE IN 28-PIN DEVICES

For 28-pin devices, PORTE is only available when

Master Clear functionality is disabled (MCLRE = 0). In

these cases, PORTE is a single bit, input only port

comprised of RE3 only. The pin operates as previously

described.

Note: On a Power-on Reset, RE2:RE0 are

configured as analog inputs.

Note: On a Power-on Reset, RE3 is enabled as

a digital input only if Master Clear

functionality is disabled.

9.6 Parallel Slave Port

In addition to its function as a general I/O port, PORTD

can also operate as an 8-bit wide Parallel Slave Port

(PSP) or microprocessor port. PSP operation is

controlled by the 4 upper bits of the TRISE register

(Register 9-1). Setting control bit, PSPMODE

(TRISE<4>), enables PSP operation as long as the

Enhanced CCP module is not operating in dual output

or quad output PWM mode. In Slave mode, the port is

asynchronously readable and writable by the external

world.

The PSP can directly interface to an 8-bit micro-

processor data bus. The external microprocessor can

read or write the PORTD latch as an 8-bit latch. Setting

the control bit, PSPMODE, enables the PORTE I/O

pins to become control inputs for the microprocessor

port. When set, port pin RE0 is the RD input, RE1 is the

WR input and RE2 is the CS (Chip Select) input. For

this functionality, the corresponding data direction bits

of the TRISE register (TRISE<2:0>) must be config-

ured as inputs (set). The A/D port configuration bits,

PFCG3:PFCG0 (ADCON1<3:0>), must also be set to a

value in the range of ‘1010’ through ‘1111’.

A write to the PSP occurs when both the CS and WR

lines are first detected low and ends when either are

detected high. The PSPIF and IBF flag bits are both set

when the write ends.

A read from the PSP occurs when both the CS and RD

lines are first detected low. The data in PORTD is read

out and the OBF bit is clear. If the user writes new data

to PORTD to set OBF, the data is immediately read out;

however, the OBF bit is not set.

When either the CS or RD lines are detected high, the

PORTD pins return to the input state and the PSPIF bit

is set. User applications should wait for PSPIF to be set

before servicing the PSP; when this happens, the IBF

and OBF bits can be polled and the appropriate action

taken.

The timing for the control signals in Write and Read

modes is shown in Figure 9-3 and Figure 9-4, respec-

tively.

10.0 INTERRUPTS

The PIC18F2525/2620/4525/4620 devices have

multiple interrupt sources and an interrupt priority

feature that allows most interrupt sources to be

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 ten registers which are used to control

interrupt operation. These registers are:

• RCON

•INTCON

• INTCON2

• INTCON3

• PIR1, PIR2

• PIE1, PIE2

• IPR1, IPR2

It is recommended that the Microchip header files

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 vec-

tor 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 PIC® 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.

10.1 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.

10.2 PIR Registers

The PIR registers contain the individual flag bits for the

peripheral interrupts. Due to the number of peripheral

interrupt sources, there are two Peripheral Interrupt

Request (Flag) registers (PIR1 and PIR2).

Note 1: Interrupt flag bits are set when an interrupt

condition occurs, regardless of the state of

its corresponding enable bit or the Global

Interrupt Enable bit, GIE (INTCON<7>).

ate interrupt flag bits are cleared prior to

enabling an interrupt and after servicing

that interrupt.

PIC18F2525/2620/4525/4620

10.6 INTx Pin Interrupts

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

RB2/INT2 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 and INT2) can wake-

up the processor from Idle or Sleep modes if bit INTxIE

was set prior to going into those modes. If the Global

Interrupt Enable bit, GIE, is set, the processor will

branch to the interrupt vector following wake-up.

Interrupt priority for INT1 and INT2 is determined by

the value contained in the interrupt priority bits,

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

There is no priority bit associated with INT0. It is

always a high-priority interrupt source.

10.7 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

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 priority bit, TMR0IP (INTCON2<2>). See

Section 11.0 “Timer0 Module” for further details on

the Timer0 module.

10.8 PORTB Interrupt-on-Change

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

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

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

Interrupt priority for PORTB interrupt-on-change is

determined by the value contained in the interrupt

priority bit, RBIP (INTCON2<0>).

10.9 Context 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 10-1 saves and restores the WREG,

STATUS and BSR registers during an Interrupt Service

Routine.

11.0 TIMER0 MODULE

The Timer0 module incorporates the following features:

• Software selectable operation as a timer or

counter in both 8-bit or 16-bit modes

• Readable and writable registers

• Dedicated 8-bit, software programmable

prescaler

• Selectable clock source (internal or external)

• Edge select for external clock

• Interrupt-on-overflow

The T0CON register (Register 11-1) controls all

aspects of the module’s operation, including the

prescale selection. It is both readable and writable.

A simplified block diagram of the Timer0 module in 8-bit

mode is shown in Figure 11-1. Figure 11-2 shows a

simplified block diagram of the Timer0 module in 16-bit

mode.

PIC18F2525/2620/4525/4620

11.1 Timer0 Operation

Timer0 can operate as either a timer or a counter; the

mode is selected with the T0CS bit (T0CON<5>). In

Timer mode (T0CS = 0), the module increments on

every clock by default unless a different prescaler value

is selected (see Section 11.3 “Prescaler”). If the

TMR0 register is written to, the increment is inhibited

for the following two instruction cycles. The user can

work around this by writing an adjusted value to the

TMR0 register.

The Counter mode is selected by setting the T0CS bit

(= 1). In this mode, Timer0 increments either on every

rising or falling edge of pin RA4/T0CKI/C1OUT. The

incrementing 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.

11.2 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

writable (refer to Figure 11-2). 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.

11.3 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.

11.3.1 SWITCHING PRESCALER

ASSIGNMENT

The prescaler assignment is fully under software

control and can be changed “on-the-fly” during program

execution.

11.4 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.

Note: Writing to TMR0 when the prescaler is

assigned to Timer0 will clear the prescaler

count but will not change the prescaler

assignment.

12.0 TIMER1 MODULE

The Timer1 timer/counter module incorporates these

features:

• Software selectable operation as a 16-bit timer or

counter

• Readable and writable 8-bit registers (TMR1H

and TMR1L)

• Selectable clock source (internal or external) with

device clock or Timer1 oscillator internal options

• Interrupt-on-overflow

• Reset on CCP Special Event Trigger

• Device clock status flag (T1RUN)

A simplified block diagram of the Timer1 module is

shown in Figure 12-1. A block diagram of the module’s

operation in Read/Write mode is shown in Figure 12-2.

The module incorporates its own low-power oscillator

to provide an additional clocking option. The Timer1

oscillator can also be used as a low-power clock source

for the microcontroller in power-managed operation.

Timer1 can also be used to provide Real-Time Clock

(RTC) functionality to applications with only a minimal

addition of external components and code overhead.

Timer1 is controlled through the T1CON Control

Oscillator Enable bit (T1OSCEN). Timer1 can be

enabled or disabled by setting or clearing control bit,

TMR1ON (T1CON<0>).

•Timer

• Synchronous Counter

• Asynchronous Counter

The operating mode is determined by the clock select

bit, TMR1CS (T1CON<1>). When TMR3CS is cleared

(= 0), Timer1 increments on every internal instruction

cycle (Fosc/4). When the bit is set, 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’.

12.2 Timer1 16-Bit Read/Write Mode

Timer1 can be configured for 16-bit reads and writes

(see Figure 12-2). When the RD16 control bit

(T1CON<7>) is set, the 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. 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.

12.3 Timer1 Oscillator

An on-chip crystal oscillator circuit is incorporated

between pins T1OSI (input) and T1OSO (amplifier

output). It is enabled by setting the Timer1 Oscillator

Enable 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 12-3.

Table 12-1 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 12-3: EXTERNAL COMPONENTS

FOR THE TIMER1

LP OSCILLATOR

TABLE 12-1: CAPACITOR SELECTION FOR

THE TIMER OSCILLATOR

12.3.1 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.

12.3.2 LOW-POWER TIMER1 OPTION

The Timer1 oscillator can operate at two distinct levels

of power consumption based on device configuration.

When the LPT1OSC Configuration bit is set, the Timer1

oscillator operates in a low-power mode. When

LPT1OSC is not set, Timer1 operates at a higher power

level. Power consumption for a particular mode is

relatively constant, regardless of the device’s operating

mode. The default Timer1 configuration is the higher

power mode.

As the low-power Timer1 mode tends to be more

sensitive to interference, high noise environments may

cause some oscillator instability. The low-power option is,

therefore, best suited for low noise applications where

power conservation is an important design consideration.

Note: See the Notes with Table 12-1 for additional

information about capacitor selection.

PIC18F2525/2620/4525/4620

12.3.3 TIMER1 OSCILLATOR LAYOUT

CONSIDERATIONS

The Timer1 oscillator circuit draws very little power

during operation. Due to the low-power nature of the

oscillator, it may also be sensitive to rapidly changing

signals in close proximity.

The oscillator circuit, shown in Figure 12-3, should be

located as close as possible to the microcontroller.

There should be no circuits passing within the oscillator

circuit boundaries other than VSS or VDD.

If a high-speed circuit must be located near the

oscillator (such as the CCP1 pin in Output Compare or

PWM mode, or the primary oscillator using the OSC2

pin), a grounded guard ring around the oscillator circuit,

as shown in Figure 12-4, may be helpful when used on

a single-sided PCB or in addition to a ground plane.

FIGURE 12-4: OSCILLATOR CIRCUIT

WITH GROUNDED

GUARD RING

12.4 Timer1 Interrupt

The TMR1 register pair (TMR1H:TMR1L) increments

from 0000h to FFFFh and rolls over to 0000h. The

Timer1 interrupt, if enabled, is generated on overflow,

which is latched in interrupt flag bit, TMR1IF

(PIR1<0>). This interrupt can be enabled or disabled

by setting or clearing the Timer1 Interrupt Enable bit,

TMR1IE (PIE1<0>).

12.5 Resetting Timer1 Using the CCP

Special Event Trigger

If either of the CCP modules is configured to use Timer1

and generate a Special Event Trigger in Compare mode

(CCP1M3:CCP1M0 or CCP2M3:CCP2M0 = 1011), this

signal will reset Timer1. The trigger from CCP2 will also

start an A/D conversion if the A/D module is enabled

(see Section 15.3.4 “Special Event Trigger” for more

information).

The module must be configured as either a timer or a

synchronous counter to take advantage of this feature.

When used this way, the CCPRH:CCPRL 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.

12.6 Using Timer1 as a Real-Time Clock

Adding an external LP oscillator to Timer1 (such as the

one described in Section 12.3 “Timer1 Oscillator”

above) gives users the option to include RTC function-

ality to their applications. This is accomplished with an

inexpensive watch crystal to provide an accurate time

base and several lines of application code to calculate

the time. When operating in Sleep mode and using a

battery or supercapacitor as a power source, it can

completely eliminate the need for a separate RTC

device and battery backup.

The application code routine, RTCisr, shown in

Example 12-1, demonstrates a simple method to

increment a counter at one-second intervals using an

Interrupt Service Routine. Incrementing the TMR1

the routine, which increments the seconds counter by

one; additional counters for minutes and hours are

incremented as the previous counter overflow.

Since the register pair is 16 bits wide, counting up to

overflow the register directly from a 32.768 kHz clock

would take 2 seconds. To force the overflow at the

required one-second intervals, it is necessary to

preload it. The simplest method is to set the MSb of

TMR1H with a BSF instruction. Note that the TMR1L

introduce cumulative errors 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.

13.0 TIMER2 MODULE

The Timer2 module timer incorporates the following

features:

• 8-bit Timer and Period registers (TMR2 and PR2,

respectively)

• Readable and writable (both registers)

• Software programmable prescaler (1:1, 1:4 and

1:16)

• Software programmable postscaler (1:1 through

1:16)

• Interrupt on TMR2 to PR2 match

• Optional use as the shift clock for the MSSP

module

The module is controlled through the T2CON register

(Register 13-1), which enables or disables the timer

and configures the prescaler and postscaler. Timer2

can be shut off by clearing control bit, TMR2ON

(T2CON<2>), to minimize power consumption.

A simplified block diagram of the module is shown in

Figure 13-1.

13.1 Timer2 Operation

In normal operation, TMR2 is incremented from 00h on

each clock (FOSC/4). A 4-bit counter/prescaler on the

clock input gives direct input, divide-by-4 and divide-by-

16 prescale options; these are selected by the prescaler

control bits, T2CKPS1:T2CKPS0 (T2CON<1:0>). The

value of 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 13.2 “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.

PIC18F2525/2620/4525/4620

13.2 Timer2 Interrupt

Timer2 can also generate an optional device interrupt.

The Timer2 output signal (TMR2 to PR2 match)

provides the input for the 4-bit output counter/

postscaler. This counter generates the TMR2 match

interrupt flag which is latched in TMR2IF (PIR1<1>).

The interrupt is enabled by setting the TMR2 Match

Interrupt Enable bit, TMR2IE (PIE1<1>).

A range of 16 postscale options (from 1:1 through 1:16

inclusive) can be selected with the postscaler control

bits, T2OUTPS3:T2OUTPS0 (T2CON<6:3>).

13.3 Timer2 Output

The unscaled output of TMR2 is available primarily to

the CCP modules, where it is used as a time base for

operations in PWM mode.

Timer2 can be optionally used as the shift clock source

for the MSSP module operating in SPI mode.

Additional information is provided in Section 17.0

“Master Synchronous Serial Port (MSSP) Module”.

14.0 TIMER3 MODULE

The Timer3 module timer/counter incorporates these

features:

• Software selectable operation as a 16-bit timer or

• Readable and writable 8-bit registers (TMR3H

and TMR3L)

• Selectable clock source (internal or external) with

device clock or Timer1 oscillator internal options

• Interrupt-on-overflow

• Module Reset on CCP Special Event Trigger

A simplified block diagram of the Timer3 module is

shown in Figure 14-1. A block diagram of the module’s

PIC18F2525/2620/4525/4620

14.1 Timer3 Operation

Timer3 can operate in one of three modes:

•Timer

• Synchronous Counter

• Asynchronous Counter

The operating mode is determined by the clock select

bit, TMR3CS (T3CON<1>). When TMR3CS is cleared

(= 0), Timer3 increments on every internal instruction

cycle (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’.

14.2 Timer3 16-Bit Read/Write Mode

Timer3 can be configured for 16-bit reads and writes

(see Figure 14-2). When the RD16 control bit

(T3CON<7>) is set, the 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.

14.3 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 12.0

“Timer1 Module”.

14.4 Timer3 Interrupt

The TMR3 register pair (TMR3H:TMR3L) increments

from 0000h to FFFFh and overflows to 0000h. The

Timer3 interrupt, if enabled, is generated on overflow

and is latched in interrupt flag bit, TMR3IF (PIR2<1>).

This interrupt can be enabled or disabled by setting or

clearing the Timer3 Interrupt Enable bit, TMR3IE

(PIE2<1>).

14.5 Resetting Timer3 Using the CCP

Special Event Trigger

If either of the CCP modules is configured to use

Timer3 and to generate a Special Event Trigger

in Compare mode (CCP1M3:CCP1M0 or

CCP2M3:CCP2M0 = 1011), this signal will reset

Timer3. It will also start an A/D conversion if the A/D

module is enabled (see Section 15.3.4 “Special

Event Trigger” for more information).

The module must be configured as either a timer or

synchronous counter to take advantage of this feature.

When used this way, the CCPR2H:CCPR2L register

pair effectively becomes a period register for Timer3.

If Timer3 is running in Asynchronous Counter mode,

the Reset operation may not work.

In the event that a write to Timer3 coincides with a

Special Event Trigger from a CCP module, the write will

take precedence.

15.0 CAPTURE/COMPARE/PWM

(CCP) MODULES

PIC18F2525/2620/4525/4620 devices all have two

CCP (Capture/Compare/PWM) modules. Each 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 register.

In 28-pin devices, the two standard CCP modules

(CCP1 and CCP2) operate as described in this

chapter. In 40/44-pin devices, CCP1 is implemented

as an Enhanced CCP module with standard Capture

and Compare modes and Enhanced PWM modes.

The ECCP implementation is discussed in

Section 16.0 “Enhanced Capture/Compare/PWM

(ECCP) Module”.

The Capture and Compare operations described in this

chapter apply to all standard and Enhanced CCP

modules.

Note: Throughout this section and Section 16.0

Module”, references to the register and bit

names for CCP modules are referred to

generically by the use of ‘x’ or ‘y’ in place

of the specific module number. Thus,

“CCPxCON” might refer to the control regis-

is used throughout these sections to refer to

the module control register, regardless of

whether the CCP module is a standard or

15.1 CCP Module Configuration

Each Capture/Compare/PWM module is associated

with a control register (generically, CCPxCON) and a

data register (CCPRx). The data register, in turn, is

comprised of two 8-bit registers: CCPRxL (low byte)

and CCPRxH (high byte). All registers are both

readable and writable.

15.1.1 CCP MODULES AND TIMER

RESOURCES

The CCP modules utilize Timers 1, 2 or 3, depending

on the mode selected. Timer1 and Timer3 are available

to modules in Capture or Compare modes, while

Timer2 is available for modules in PWM mode.

TABLE 15-1: CCP MODE – TIMER

RESOURCES

The assignment of a particular timer to a module is

determined by the Timer to CCP enable bits in the

T3CON register (Register 14-1). Both modules may be

active at any given time and may share the same timer

resource if they are configured to operate in the same

mode (Capture/Compare or PWM) at the same time. The

interactions between the two modules are summarized in

Figure 15-1 and Figure 15-2. In Timer1 in Asynchronous

Counter mode, the capture operation will not work.

15.1.2 CCP2 PIN ASSIGNMENT

The pin assignment for CCP2 (capture input, compare

and PWM output) can change, based on device config-

uration. The CCP2MX Configuration bit determines

which pin CCP2 is multiplexed to. By default, it is

assigned to RC1 (CCP2MX = 1). If the Configuration bit

is cleared, CCP2 is multiplexed with RB3.

Changing the pin assignment of CCP2 does not

automatically change any requirements for configuring

the port pin. Users must always verify that the appropri-

ate TRIS register is configured correctly for CCP2

operation, regardless of where it is located.

(depending upon which time base is used). Automatic A/D conversions on trigger event

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

time base.

Compare Capture CCP1 can be configured for the Special Event Trigger to reset TMR1 or TMR3

(depending upon which time base is used). Operation of CCP2 could be affected if it is

using the same timer as a time base.

both modules are using the same time base.

PIC18F2525/2620/4525/4620

15.2 Capture Mode

In Capture mode, the CCPRxH:CCPRxL register pair

captures the 16-bit value of the TMR1 or TMR3

registers when an event occurs on the corresponding

CCPx pin. An event is defined as one of the following:

• every falling edge

• every rising edge

• every 4th rising edge

• every 16th rising edge

The event is selected by the mode select bits,

CCPxM3:CCPxM0 (CCPxCON<3:0>). When a capture

is made, the interrupt request flag bit, CCPxIF, is set; it

must be cleared in software. If another capture occurs

before the value in register CCPRx is read, the old

captured value is overwritten by the new captured value.

15.2.1 CCP PIN CONFIGURATION

In Capture mode, the appropriate CCPx pin should be

configured as an input by setting the corresponding

TRIS direction bit.

15.2.2 TIMER1/TIMER3 MODE SELECTION

The 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”).

15.2.3 SOFTWARE INTERRUPT

When the Capture mode is changed, a false capture

interrupt may be generated. The user should keep the

CCPxIE interrupt enable bit clear to avoid false

interrupts. The interrupt flag bit, CCPxIF, should also be

cleared following any such change in operating mode.

15.2.4 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 15-1 shows the

recommended method for switching between capture

prescalers. This example also clears the prescaler

counter and will not generate the “false” interrupt.

15.3 Compare Mode

In Compare mode, the 16-bit CCPRx register value is

constantly compared against either the TMR1 or TMR3

can be:

• driven high

• driven low

• toggled (high-to-low or low-to-high)

• remain 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.

15.3.1 CCP PIN CONFIGURATION

The user must configure the CCPx pin as an output by

clearing the appropriate TRIS bit.

15.3.2 TIMER1/TIMER3 MODE SELECTION

Timer1 and/or Timer3 must be running in Timer mode

or Synchronized Counter mode if the CCP module is

using the compare feature. In Asynchronous Counter

mode, the compare operation may not work.

15.3.3 SOFTWARE INTERRUPT MODE

When the Generate Software Interrupt mode is chosen

(CCPxM3:CCPxM0 = 1010), the corresponding CCPx

pin is not affected. Only a CCP interrupt is generated,

if enabled, and the CCPxIE bit is set.

15.3.4 SPECIAL EVENT TRIGGER

Both CCP modules are equipped with a Special Event

Trigger. This is an internal hardware signal generated

in Compare mode to trigger actions by other modules.

The Special Event Trigger is enabled by selecting

the Compare Special Event Trigger mode

(CCPxM3:CCPxM0 = 1011).

For either CCP module, the Special Event Trigger resets

the Timer register pair for whichever timer resource is

currently assigned as the module’s time base. This

allows the CCPRx registers to serve as a programmable

Period register for either timer.

The Special Event Trigger for CCP2 can also start an

A/D conversion. In order to do this, the A/D converter

must already be enabled.

FIGURE 15-2: COMPARE MODE OPERATION BLOCK DIAGRAM

Note: Clearing the CCP2CON register will force

the RB3 or RC1 compare output latch

(depending on device configuration) to the

default low level. This is not the PORTB or

PORTC I/O data latch.

PIC18F2525/2620/4525/4620

15.4 PWM Mode

In Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) mode, the CCPx pin

produces up to a 10-bit resolution PWM output. Since

the CCP2 pin is multiplexed with a PORTB or PORTC

data latch, the appropriate TRIS bit must be cleared to

make the CCP2 pin an output.

Figure 15-3 shows a simplified block diagram of the

CCP module in PWM mode.

For a step-by-step procedure on how to set up the CCP

module for PWM operation, see Section 15.4.4

“Setup for PWM Operation”.

FIGURE 15-3: SIMPLIFIED PWM BLOCK

DIAGRAM

A PWM output (Figure 15-4) has a time base (period)

and a time that the output stays high (duty cycle).

The frequency of the PWM is the inverse of the

period (1/period).

FIGURE 15-4: PWM OUTPUT

15.4.1 PWM PERIOD

The PWM period is specified by writing to the PR2

following formula:

EQUATION 15-1:

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 CCPx pin is set (exception: if PWM duty

cycle = 0%, the CCPx pin will not be set)

• The PWM duty cycle is latched from CCPRxL into

CCPRxH

15.4.2 PWM DUTY CYCLE

The PWM duty cycle is specified by writing to the

CCPRxL register and to the CCPxCON<5:4> bits. Up

to 10-bit resolution is available. The CCPRxL contains

the eight MSbs and the CCPxCON<5:4> contains the

two LSbs. This 10-bit value is represented by

CCPRxL:CCPxCON<5:4>. The following equation is

used to calculate the PWM duty cycle in time:

EQUATION 15-2:

CCPRxL and CCPxCON<5:4> can be written to at any

time, but the duty cycle value is not latched into

CCPR2H until after a match between PR2 and TMR2

occurs (i.e., the period is complete). In PWM mode,

CCPRxH is a read-only register.

Note: Clearing the CCP2CON register will force

the RB3 or RC1 output latch (depending on

device configuration) to the default low

level. This is not the PORTB or PORTC I/O

data latch.

The CCPR2H register and a 2-bit internal latch are

used to double-buffer the PWM duty cycle. This

double-buffering is essential for glitchless PWM

operation.

When the CCPRxH and 2-bit latch match TMR2,

concatenated with an internal 2-bit Q clock or 2 bits of

the TMR2 prescaler, the CCP2 pin is cleared.

The maximum PWM resolution (bits) for a given PWM

frequency is given by the equation:

15.4.3 PWM AUTO-SHUTDOWN

(CCP1 ONLY)

The PWM auto-shutdown features of the Enhanced CCP

module are also available to CCP1 in 28-pin devices. The

operation of this feature is discussed in detail in

Section 16.4.7 “Enhanced PWM Auto-Shutdown”.

Auto-shutdown features are not available for CCP2.

15.4.4 SETUP FOR PWM OPERATION

The following steps should be taken when configuring

the CCPx module for PWM operation:

1. Set the PWM period by writing to the PR2

2. Set the PWM duty cycle by writing to the

CCPRxL register and CCPxCON<5:4> bits.

3. Make the CCPx pin an output by clearing the

appropriate TRIS bit.

4. Set the TMR2 prescale value, then enable

Timer2 by writing to T2CON.

5. Configure the CCPx module for PWM operation.

Note: If the PWM duty cycle value is longer than

the PWM period, the CCP2 pin will not be

cleared.

16.0 ENHANCED CAPTURE/

COMPARE/PWM (ECCP)

MODULE

In PIC18F4525/4620 devices, CCP1 is implemented

as a standard CCP module 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 16.4 “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 16-1. It differs from the CCPxCON

registers in PIC18F2525/2620 devices in that the two

Most Significant bits are implemented to control PWM

functionality.

Note: The ECCP module is implemented only in

40/44-pin devices.

PIC18F2525/2620/4525/4620

In addition to the expanded range of modes available

through the CCP1CON and ECCP1AS registers, the

ECCP module has an additional register associated

with Enhanced PWM operation and auto-shutdown

features; it is:

• PWM1CON (PWM Configuration)

16.1 ECCP Outputs and Configuration

The Enhanced CCP module may have up to four PWM

outputs, depending on the selected operating mode.

These outputs, designated P1A through P1D, are

multiplexed with I/O pins on PORTC and PORTD. The

outputs that are active depend on the CCP operating

mode selected. The pin assignments are summarized

in Table 16-1.

To configure the I/O pins as PWM outputs, the proper

PWM mode must be selected by setting the

P1M1:P1M0 and CCP1M3:CCP1M0 bits. The

appropriate TRISC and TRISD direction bits for the port

pins must also be set as outputs.

16.1.1 ECCP MODULES AND TIMER

RESOURCES

Like the standard CCP modules, the ECCP module can

utilize Timers 1, 2 or 3, depending on the mode

selected. Timer1 and Timer3 are available for modules

in Capture or Compare modes, while Timer2 is avail-

able for modules in PWM mode. Interactions between

the standard and Enhanced CCP modules are identical

to those described for standard CCP modules.

Additional details on timer resources are provided in

Section 15.1.1 “CCP Modules and Timer

Resources”.

16.2 Capture and 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

CCP2. These are discussed in detail in Section 15.2

“Capture Mode” and Section 15.3 “Compare

Mode”. No changes are required when moving

between 28-pin and 40/44-pin devices.

16.2.1 SPECIAL EVENT TRIGGER

The Special Event Trigger output of ECCP1 resets the

TMR1 or TMR3 register pair, depending on which timer

resource is currently selected. This allows the CCPR1

16.3 Standard PWM Mode

When configured in Single Output mode, the ECCP

module functions identically to the standard CCP

module in PWM mode, as described in Section 15.4

“PWM Mode”. This is also sometimes referred to as

“Compatible CCP” mode, as in Table 16-1.

TABLE 16-1: PIN ASSIGNMENTS FOR VARIOUS ECCP1 MODES

Note: When setting up single output PWM

operations, users are free to use either

of the processes described in

Section 15.4.4 “Setup for PWM

Operation” or Section 16.4.9 “Setup

for PWM Operation”. The latter is more

generic and will work for either single or

multi-output PWM.

16.4 Enhanced PWM Mode

The Enhanced PWM mode provides additional PWM

output options for a broader range of control applica-

tions. The module is a backward compatible version of

the standard CCP module and offers up to four outputs,

designated P1A through P1D. 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 P1M1:P1M0 and

CCP1M3:CCP1M0 bits of the CCP1CON register.

Figure 16-1 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 PWM Delay register, PWM1CON, which is loaded

at either the duty cycle boundary or the period bound-

ary (whichever comes first). Because of the buffering,

the module waits until the assigned timer resets,

instead of starting immediately. This means that

Enhanced PWM waveforms do not exactly match the

standard PWM waveforms, but are instead offset by

one full instruction cycle (4 TOSC).

As before, the user must manually configure the

appropriate TRIS bits for output.

16.4.1 PWM PERIOD

The PWM period is specified by writing to the PR2

following equation.

EQUATION 16-1:

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 CCP1 pin is set (if PWM duty cycle = 0%, the

CCP1 pin will not be set)

• The PWM duty cycle is copied from CCPR1L into

CCPR1H

FIGURE 16-1: SIMPLIFIED BLOCK DIAGRAM OF THE ENHANCED PWM MODULE

Note: The Timer2 postscaler (see Section 13.0

“Timer2 Module”) is not used in the

determination of the PWM frequency. The

postscaler could be used to have a servo

update rate at a different frequency than

the PWM output.

16.4.2 PWM DUTY CYCLE

The PWM duty cycle is specified by writing to the

CCPR1L register and to the CCP1CON<5:4> bits. Up

to 10-bit resolution is available. The CCPR1L contains

the eight MSbs and the CCP1CON<5:4> contains the

two LSbs. This 10-bit value is represented by

CCPR1L:CCP1CON<5:4>. The PWM duty cycle is

calculated by the following equation.

EQUATION 16-2:

CCPR1L and 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

operation. When the CCPR1H and 2-bit latch match

TMR2, concatenated with an internal 2-bit Q clock or

two bits of the TMR2 prescaler, the CCP1 pin is

cleared. The maximum PWM resolution (bits) for a

given PWM frequency is given by the following

equation.

EQUATION 16-3:

16.4.3 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 16.4 “Enhanced PWM Mode”.

The Half-Bridge and Full-Bridge Output modes are

covered in detail in the sections that follow.

The general relationship of the outputs in all

configurations is summarized in Figure 16-2.

Dead-Band Delay”).

PIC18F2525/2620/4525/4620

16.4.4 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 complementary PWM

output signal is output on the P1B pin (Figure 16-4). This

mode can be used for half-bridge applications, as shown

in Figure 16-5, or for full-bridge applications where four

power switches are being modulated with two PWM

signals.

In Half-Bridge Output mode, the programmable dead-

band delay can be used to prevent shoot-through

current in half-bridge power devices. The value of bits,

PDC6:PDC0, sets the number of instruction cycles

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 16.4.6

“Programmable Dead-Band Delay” for more details

of the dead-band delay operations.

Since the P1A and P1B outputs are multiplexed with

the PORTC<2> and PORTD<5> data latches, the

TRISC<2> and TRISD<5> bits must be cleared to

configure P1A and P1B as outputs.

16.4.5 FULL-BRIDGE MODE

In Full-Bridge Output mode, four pins are used as

outputs; however, only two outputs are active at a time.

In the Forward mode, pin P1A is continuously active

and pin P1D is modulated. In the Reverse mode, pin

P1C is continuously active and pin P1B is modulated.

These are illustrated in Figure 16-6.

P1A, P1B, P1C and P1D outputs are multiplexed with

the PORTC<2> and PORTD<7:5> data latches. The

TRISC<2> and TRISD<7:5> bits must be cleared to

make the P1A, P1B, P1C and P1D pins outputs.

FIGURE 16-7: EXAMPLE OF FULL-BRIDGE APPLICATION

16.4.5.1 Direction Change in Full-Bridge Mode

In the Full-Bridge Output mode, the P1M1 bit in the

CCP1CON register allows user to control the forward/

reverse direction. When the application firmware

changes this direction control bit, the module will

assume the new direction on the next PWM cycle.

Just before the end of the current PWM period, the

modulated outputs (P1B and P1D) are placed in their

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 T2CKPS1:T2CKPS0 bits

(T2CON<1:0>). During the interval from the switch of

the unmodulated outputs to the beginning of the next

period, the modulated outputs (P1B and P1D) remain

inactive. This relationship is shown in Figure 16-8.

Note that in the Full-Bridge Output mode, the CCP1

module does not provide any dead-band delay. In

general, since only one output is 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 16-9 shows an example where the PWM

direction changes from forward to reverse at a near

100% duty cycle. At time t1, the outputs P1A and P1D

become inactive, while output P1C becomes active. In

this example, since the turn-off time of the power

devices is longer than the turn-on time, a shoot-through

current may flow through power devices, QC and QD

(see Figure 16-7), for the duration of ‘t’. The same

phenomenon will occur to power devices, QA and QB,

for PWM direction change from reverse to forward.

If changing PWM direction at high duty cycle is required

for an application, one of the following requirements

must 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.

16.4.6 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

flowing 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 programmable

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 nonactive

state to the active state. See Figure 16-4 for illustration.

Bits PDC6:PDC0 of the PWM1CON register

(Register 16-2) set the delay period in terms of micro-

controller instruction cycles (TCY or 4 TOSC). These bits

are not available on 28-pin devices as the standard CCP

module does not support half-bridge operation.

16.4.7 ENHANCED PWM AUTO-SHUTDOWN

When the CCP1 is programmed for any of the Enhanced

PWM modes, the active output pins may be configured

for auto-shutdown. Auto-shutdown immediately places

the Enhanced PWM output pins into a defined shutdown

state when a shutdown event occurs.

A shutdown event can be caused by either of the

comparator modules, a low level on the Fault input pin

(FLT0) or any combination of these three sources. The

comparators may be used to monitor a voltage input

proportional to a current being monitored in the bridge

circuit. If the voltage exceeds a threshold, the

comparator switches state and triggers a shutdown.

Alternatively, a low digital signal on FLT0 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

ECCPAS2:ECCPAS0 bits (ECCP1AS<6:4>).

When a shutdown occurs, the output pins are asyn-

chronously placed in their shutdown states, specified

by the PSSAC1:PSSAC0 and PSSBD1:PSSBD0 bits

(ECCP1AS<3:0>). Each pin pair (P1A/P1C and P1B/

P1D) may be set to drive high, drive low or be tri-stated

(not driving). The ECCPASE bit (ECCP1AS<7>) is also

set to hold the Enhanced PWM outputs in their

shutdown states.

The ECCPASE bit is set by hardware when a shutdown

event occurs. If automatic restarts are not enabled, the

ECCPASE bit is cleared by firmware when the cause of

the shutdown clears. If automatic restarts are enabled,

the ECCPASE bit is automatically cleared when the

cause of the auto-shutdown has cleared.

If the ECCPASE bit is set when a PWM period begins,

the PWM outputs remain in their shutdown state for that

entire PWM period. When the ECCPASE bit is cleared,

the PWM outputs will return to normal operation at the

beginning of the next PWM period.

Note: Programmable dead-band delay is not

implemented in 28-pin devices with

standard CCP modules.

Note: Writing to the ECCPASE bit is disabled

while a shutdown condition is active.

16.4.7.1 Auto-Shutdown and

Automatic Restart

The auto-shutdown feature can be configured to allow

automatic restarts of the module following a shutdown

event. This is enabled by setting the PRSEN bit of the

PWM1CON register (PWM1CON<7>).

In Shutdown mode with PRSEN = 1 (Figure 16-10), the

ECCPASE bit will remain set for as long as the cause

of the shutdown continues. When the shutdown condi-

tion clears, the ECCP1ASE bit is cleared. If PRSEN = 0

(Figure 16-11), once a shutdown condition occurs, the

ECCPASE bit will remain set until it is cleared by

firmware. Once ECCPASE is cleared, the Enhanced

PWM will resume at the beginning of the next PWM

period.

Independent of the PRSEN bit setting, if the auto-

shutdown source is one of the comparators, the

shutdown condition is a level. The ECCPASE bit

cannot be cleared as long as the cause of the shutdown

persists.

The Auto-Shutdown mode can be forced by writing a ‘1’

to the ECCPASE bit.

16.4.8 START-UP CONSIDERATIONS

When the ECCP 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 ECCP module may cause damage to the applica-

tion circuit. The ECCP module must be enabled in the

proper output mode and complete a full PWM cycle

before configuring the PWM pins as outputs. The com-

pletion of a full PWM cycle is indicated by the TMR2IF

bit being set as the second PWM period begins.

16.4.9 SETUP FOR PWM OPERATION

The following steps should be taken when configuring

the ECCP module for PWM operation:

1. Configure the PWM pins, P1A and P1B (and

P1C and P1D, if used), as inputs by setting the

corresponding TRIS bits.

2. Set the PWM period by loading the PR2 register.

3. If auto-shutdown is required, do the following:

• Disable auto-shutdown (ECCP1AS = 0)

• Configure source (FLT0, Comparator 1 or

Comparator 2)

• Wait for non-shutdown condition

4. Configure the ECCP module for the desired

PWM mode and configuration by loading the

CCP1CON register with the appropriate values:

• Select one of the available output

configurations and direction with the

P1M1:P1M0 bits.

• Select the polarities of the PWM output

signals with the CCP1M3:CCP1M0 bits.

5. Set the PWM duty cycle by loading the CCPR1L

6. For Half-Bridge Output mode, set the dead-

band delay by loading PWM1CON<6:0> with

the appropriate value.

7. If auto-shutdown operation is required, load the

ECCP1AS register:

• Select the auto-shutdown sources using the

ECCPAS2:ECCPAS0 bits.

• Select the shutdown states of the PWM

output pins using the PSSAC1:PSSAC0 and

PSSBD1:PSSBD0 bits.

• Set the ECCPASE bit (ECCP1AS<7>).

• Configure the comparators using the CMCON

• Configure the comparator inputs as analog

inputs.

8. If auto-restart operation is required, set the

PRSEN bit (PWM1CON<7>).

9. Configure and start TMR2:

• Clear the TMR2 interrupt flag bit by clearing

the TMR2IF bit (PIR1<1>).

• Set the TMR2 prescale value by loading the

T2CKPS bits (T2CON<1:0>).

• Enable Timer2 by setting the TMR2ON bit

(T2CON<2>).

10. Enable PWM outputs after a new PWM cycle

has started:

• Wait until TMRx overflows (TMRxIF bit is set).

• Enable the CCP1/P1A, P1B, P1C and/or P1D

pin outputs by clearing the respective TRIS

bits.

• Clear the ECCPASE bit (ECCP1AS<7>).

16.4.10 OPERATION IN POWER-MANAGED

MODES

In Sleep mode, all clock sources are disabled. Timer2

will not increment and the state of the module will not

change. If the ECCP pin is driving a value, it will continue

to drive that value. When the device wakes up, it will

continue from this state. If Two-Speed Start-ups are

enabled, the initial start-up frequency from INTOSC and

the postscaler may not be stable immediately.

In PRI_IDLE mode, the primary clock will continue to

clock the ECCP module without change. In all other

power-managed modes, the selected power-managed

mode clock will clock Timer2. Other power-managed

mode clocks will most likely be different than the

primary clock frequency.

16.4.10.1 Operation with Fail-Safe

Clock Monitor

If the Fail-Safe Clock Monitor is enabled, a clock failure

will force the device into the power-managed RC_RUN

mode and the OSCFIF bit (PIR2<7>) will be set. The

ECCP will then be clocked from the internal oscillator

clock source, which may have a different clock

frequency than the primary clock.

See the previous section for additional details.

16.4.11 EFFECTS OF A RESET

Both Power-on Reset and subsequent Resets will force

all ports to Input mode and the CCP registers to their

Reset states.

This forces the Enhanced CCP module to reset to a

state compatible with the standard CCP module.

17.0 MASTER SYNCHRONOUS

SERIAL PORT (MSSP)

MODULE

17.1 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

17.2 Control Registers

The MSSP module has three associated registers.

These include a status register (SSPSTAT) and two

control registers (SSPCON1 and SSPCON2). The use

of 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.

17.3 SPI Mode

The SPI mode allows 8 bits of data to be synchronously

transmitted and received simultaneously. All four SPI

modes are supported. To accomplish communication,

typically three pins are used:

• Serial Data Out (SDO) – RC5/SDO

• Serial Data In (SDI) – RC4/SDI/SDA

• Serial Clock (SCK) – RC3/SCK/SCL

Additionally, a fourth pin may be used when in a Slave

mode of operation:

• Slave Select (SS) – RA5/AN4/SS/HLVDIN/C2OUT

Figure 17-1 shows the block diagram of the MSSP

module when operating in SPI mode.

17.3.1 REGISTERS

The MSSP module has four registers for SPI mode

operation. These are:

• MSSP Control Register 1 (SSPCON1)

• MSSP Status Register (SSPSTAT)

• Serial Receive/Transmit Buffer Register

(SSPBUF)

• MSSP Shift Register (SSPSR) – Not directly

accessible

SSPCON1 and SSPSTAT are the control and status

registers in SPI mode operation. The SSPCON1 register

is readable and writable. The lower 6 bits of the

SSPSTAT are read-only. The upper two bits of the

SSPSTAT are read/write.

SSPSR is the shift register used for shifting data in or

out. SSPBUF is the buffer register to which data bytes

are written to or read from.

In receive operations, SSPSR and SSPBUF together

create a double-buffered receiver. When SSPSR

receives a complete byte, it is transferred to SSPBUF

and the SSPIF interrupt is set.

During transmission, the SSPBUF is not double-

buffered. A write to SSPBUF will write to both SSPBUF

and SSPSR.

flow, the data in SSPSR is lost. Overflow can only occur in Slave mode. The user must read the

SSPBUF, even if only transmitting data, to avoid setting overflow (must be cleared in software).

Note 1: In Master mode, the overflow bit is not set since each new reception (and transmission) is initiated by

writing to the SSPBUF register.

2: When enabled, these pins must be properly configured as input or output.

3: Bit combinations not specifically listed here are either reserved or implemented in I2C™ mode only.

PIC18F2525/2620/4525/4620

17.3.2 OPERATION

When initializing the SPI, several options need to be

specified. This is done by programming the appropriate

control bits (SSPCON1<5:0> and SSPSTAT<7:6>).

These control bits allow the following to be specified:

• Master mode (SCK is the clock output)

• Slave mode (SCK is the clock input)

• Clock Polarity (Idle state of SCK)

• Data Input Sample Phase (middle or end of data

output time)

• Clock Edge (output data on rising/falling edge

of SCK)

• Clock Rate (Master mode only)

• Slave Select mode (Slave mode only)

The MSSP consists of a transmit/receive shift register

(SSPSR) and a buffer register (SSPBUF). The SSPSR

shifts the data in and out of the device, MSb first. The

SSPBUF holds the data that was written to the SSPSR

until the received data is ready. Once the 8 bits of data

have been received, that byte is moved to the SSPBUF

(SSPSTAT<0>) and the interrupt flag bit, SSPIF, are

set. This double-buffering of the received data

(SSPBUF) allows the next byte to start reception before

reading the data that was just received. Any write to the

SSPBUF register during transmission/reception of data

will be ignored and the write collision detect bit, WCOL

(SSPCON1<7>), will be set. User software must clear

the WCOL bit so that it can be determined if the following

write(s) to the SSPBUF register completed successfully.

When the application software is expecting to receive

valid data, the SSPBUF should be read before the next

byte of data to transfer is written to the SSPBUF. The

Buffer Full bit, BF (SSPSTAT<0>), indicates when

SSPBUF has been loaded with the received data

(transmission is complete). When the SSPBUF is read,

the BF bit is cleared. This data may be irrelevant if the

SPI is only a transmitter. Generally, the MSSP interrupt

is used to determine when the transmission/reception

has completed. The SSPBUF must be read and/or

written. 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 17-1 shows the

loading of the SSPBUF (SSPSR) for data transmission.

The SSPSR is not directly readable or writable and can

only be accessed by addressing the SSPBUF register.

Additionally, the MSSP status register (SSPSTAT)

indicates the various status conditions.

EXAMPLE 17-1: LOADING THE SSPBUF (SSPSR) REGISTER

Note: The SSPBUF register cannot be used with

read-modify-write instructions such as

BCF, BTFSC and COMF.

PIC18F2525/2620/4525/4620

17.3.3 ENABLING SPI I/O

To enable the serial port, MSSP Enable bit, SSPEN

(SSPCON1<5>), must be set. To reset or reconfigure

SPI mode, clear the SSPEN bit, reinitialize the

SSPCON registers and then set the SSPEN bit. This

configures the SDI, SDO, SCK and SS pins as serial

port pins. For the pins to behave as the serial port

function, some must have their data direction bits (in

the TRIS register) appropriately programmed as

follows:

• SDI is automatically controlled by the SPI module

• SDO must have TRISC<5> bit cleared

• SCK (Master mode) must have TRISC<3> bit

cleared

• SCK (Slave mode) must have TRISC<3> bit set

•SS

must have TRISA<5> bit set

Any serial port function that is not desired may be

overridden by programming the corresponding data

direction (TRIS) register to the opposite value.

17.3.4 TYPICAL CONNECTION

Figure 17-2 shows a typical connection between two

microcontrollers. The master controller (Processor 1)

initiates the data transfer by sending the SCK signal.

Data is shifted out of both shift registers on their pro-

grammed clock 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

17.3.5 MASTER MODE

The master can initiate the data transfer at any time

because it controls the SCK. The master determines

when the slave (Processor 2, Figure 17-2) is to

broadcast data by the software protocol.

In Master mode, the data is transmitted/received as

soon as the SSPBUF register is written to. If the SPI

operation is only going to receive, the SDO output

could be disabled (programmed as an input). The

SSPSR register will continue to shift in the signal

present on the SDI pin at the programmed clock rate.

As each byte is received, it will be loaded into the

SSPBUF register as if a normal received byte (inter-

rupts and status bits appropriately set). This could be

useful in receiver applications as a “Line Activity

Monitor” mode.

The clock polarity is selected by appropriately

programming the CKP bit (SSPCON1<4>). This then,

would give waveforms for SPI communication, as

shown in Figure 17-3, Figure 17-5 and Figure 17-6,

where 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 17-3 shows the waveforms for Master mode.

When the CKE bit is set, the SDO data is valid before

there is a clock edge on SCK. The change of the input

sample is shown based on the state of the SMP bit. The

time when the SSPBUF is loaded with the received

data is shown.

17.3.6 SLAVE MODE

In Slave mode, the data is transmitted and received as

the external clock pulses appear on SCK. When the

last bit is latched, the SSPIF interrupt flag bit is set.

Before enabling the module in SPI Slave mode, the

clock line must match the proper Idle state. The clock

line can be observed by reading the SCK pin. The Idle

state is determined by the CKP bit (SSPCON1<4>).

While in Slave mode, the external clock is supplied by

the external clock source on the SCK pin. This external

clock must meet the minimum high and low times as

specified in the electrical specifications.

While in Sleep mode, the slave can transmit/receive

data. When a byte is received, the device will wake-up

from Sleep.

17.3.7 SLAVE SELECT

SYNCHRONIZATION

The SS pin allows a Synchronous Slave mode. The SPI

operation must be in Slave mode with the SS pin control

enabled (SSPCON1<3:0> = 04h). When the SS pin is

low, transmission and reception are enabled and the

SDO pin is driven. When the SS pin goes high, the SDO

pin is no longer driven, even if in the middle of a

transmitted byte and becomes a floating output. External

pull-up/pull-down resistors may be desirable depending

on the application.

When the SPI module resets, the bit counter is forced

to ‘0’. This can be done by either forcing the SS pin to

a high level or clearing the SSPEN bit.

To emulate two-wire communication, the SDO pin can

be connected to the SDI pin. When the SPI needs to

operate as a receiver, the SDO pin can be configured

as an input. This disables transmissions from the SDO.

The SDI can always be left as an input (SDI function)

since it cannot create a bus conflict.

FIGURE 17-4: SLAVE SYNCHRONIZATION WAVEFORM

with SS pin control enabled

(SSPCON1<3:0> = 0100), the SPI mod-

must be enabled.

17.3.8 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 Sleep mode, all clocks are halted.

In Idle modes, a clock is provided to the peripherals.

That clock should be from the primary clock source, the

secondary clock (Timer1 oscillator at 32.768 kHz) or

the INTOSC source. See Section 2.7 “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

controller from Sleep mode, or one of the Idle modes,

when the master completes sending data. If an exit

from Sleep or Idle mode is not desired, MSSP

interrupts should be disabled.

If the Sleep mode is selected, all module clocks are

halted and the transmission/reception will remain in

that state until the devices wakes. After the device

returns to Run mode, the module will resume

transmitting and receiving data.

In SPI Slave mode, the SPI Transmit/Receive Shift

allows the device to be placed in any power-managed

mode and data to be shifted into the SPI Transmit/

Receive Shift register. When all 8 bits have been

received, the MSSP interrupt flag bit will be set and if

enabled, will wake the device.

17.3.9 EFFECTS OF A RESET

A Reset disables the MSSP module and terminates the

current transfer.

17.3.10 BUS MODE COMPATIBILITY

Table 17-1 shows the compatibility between the

standard SPI modes and the states of the CKP and

CKE control bits.

PIC18F2525/2620/4525/4620

17.4 I2C Mode

The MSSP module in I2C mode fully implements all

master and slave functions (including general call

support) and provides interrupts on Start and Stop bits

in hardware to determine a free bus (multi-master

function). The MSSP module implements the standard

mode specifications, as well as 7-bit and 10-bit

addressing.

Two pins are used for data transfer:

• Serial clock (SCL) – RC3/SCK/SCL

• Serial data (SDA) – RC4/SDI/SDA

The user must configure these pins as inputs or outputs

through the TRISC<4:3> bits.

FIGURE 17-7: MSSP BLOCK DIAGRAM

(I2C™ MODE)

17.4.1 REGISTERS

The MSSP module has six registers for I2C operation.

These are:

• MSSP Control Register 1 (SSPCON1)

• MSSP Control Register 2 (SSPCON2)

• MSSP Status Register (SSPSTAT)

• Serial Receive/Transmit Buffer Register

(SSPBUF)

• MSSP Shift Register (SSPSR) – Not directly

accessible

• MSSP Address Register (SSPADD)

SSPCON1, SSPCON2 and SSPSTAT are the control

and status registers in I2C mode operation. The

SSPCON1 and SSPCON2 registers are readable and

writable. The lower 6 bits of the SSPSTAT are read-only.

The upper two bits of the SSPSTAT are read/write.

SSPSR is the shift register used for shifting data in or

out. SSPBUF is the buffer register to which data bytes

are written to or read from.

SSPADD register holds the slave device address when

the MSSP is configured in I2C Slave mode. When the

MSSP is configured in Master mode, the lower seven

bits of SSPADD act as the Baud Rate Generator reload

value.

In receive operations, SSPSR and SSPBUF together

create a double-buffered receiver. When SSPSR

receives a complete byte, it is transferred to SSPBUF

and the SSPIF interrupt is set.

During transmission, the SSPBUF is not double-

buffered. A write to SSPBUF will write to both SSPBUF

and SSPSR.

PIC18F2525/2620/4525/4620

17.4.2 OPERATION

The MSSP module functions are enabled by setting

MSSP Enable bit, SSPEN (SSPCON1<5>).

The SSPCON1 register allows control of the I2C

operation. Four mode selection bits (SSPCON1<3:0>)

allow one of the following I2C modes to be selected:

•I

2C Master mode clock

•I

2C Slave mode (7-bit address)

•I

2C Slave mode (10-bit address)

•I

2C Slave mode (7-bit address) with Start and

Stop bit interrupts enabled

•I

2C Slave mode (10-bit address) with Start and

Stop bit interrupts enabled

•I

2C Firmware Controlled Master mode, slave is Idle

Selection of any I2C mode with the SSPEN bit set,

forces the SCL and SDA pins to be open-drain,

provided these pins are programmed to inputs by

setting the appropriate TRISC bits. To ensure proper

operation of the module, pull-up resistors must be

provided externally to the SCL and SDA pins.

17.4.3 SLAVE MODE

In Slave mode, the SCL and SDA pins must be config-

ured as inputs (TRISC<4:3> set). The MSSP module

will override the input state with the output data when

required (slave-transmitter).

The I2C Slave mode hardware will always generate an

interrupt on an address match. 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 SSPBUF register with the received value

currently in the SSPSR register.

Any combination of the following conditions will cause

the MSSP module not to give this ACK pulse:

• The Buffer Full bit, BF (SSPSTAT<0>), was set

before the transfer was received.

• The overflow bit, SSPOV (SSPCON1<6>), was

set before the transfer was received.

In this case, the SSPSR register value is not loaded

into the SSPBUF, but bit, SSPIF (PIR1<3>), is set. The

BF bit is cleared by reading the SSPBUF register, while

bit, SSPOV, is cleared through software.

The SCL clock input must have a minimum high and

low 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.

17.4.3.1 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 SSPSR register. All incom-

ing bits are sampled with the rising edge of the clock

(SCL) line. The value of register SSPSR<7:1> is

compared to the value of the SSPADD register. The

address is compared on the falling edge of the eighth

clock (SCL) pulse. If the addresses match and the BF

and SSPOV bits are clear, the following events occur:

1. The SSPSR register value is loaded into the

SSPBUF register.

2. The Buffer Full bit, BF, is set.

3. An ACK pulse is generated.

4. MSSP Interrupt Flag bit, SSPIF (PIR1<3>), is

set (interrupt is generated, if enabled) on the

falling edge of the ninth SCL pulse.

In 10-Bit Addressing mode, two address bytes need to

be received by the slave. The five Most Significant bits

(MSbs) of the first address byte specify if this is a 10-bit

address. Bit R/W (SSPSTAT<2>) must specify a write

so the slave device will receive the second address

byte. For a 10-bit address, the first byte would equal

‘11110 A9 A8 0’, 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 SSPIF,

BF and UA (SSPSTAT<1>) are set).

2. Update the SSPADD register with second (low)

byte of address (clears bit, UA, and releases the

SCL line).

3. Read the SSPBUF register (clears bit, BF) and

clear flag bit, SSPIF.

4. Receive second (low) byte of address (bits,

SSPIF, BF and UA, are set).

5. Update the SSPADD register with the first (high)

byte of address. If match releases SCL line, this

will clear bit, UA.

6. Read the SSPBUF register (clears bit, BF) and

clear flag bit, SSPIF.

7. Receive Repeated Start condition.

8. Receive first (high) byte of address (bits, SSPIF

and BF, are set).

9. Read the SSPBUF register (clears bit, BF) and

clear flag bit, SSPIF.

PIC18F2525/2620/4525/4620

17.4.3.2 Reception

When the R/W bit of the address byte is clear and an

address match occurs, the R/W bit of the SSPSTAT

the SSPBUF register and the SDA 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 (SSPSTAT<0>), is

set, or bit, SSPOV (SSPCON1<6>), is set.

An MSSP interrupt is generated for each data transfer

byte. Flag bit, SSPIF (PIR1<3>), must be cleared in

software. The SSPSTAT register is used to determine

the status of the byte.

If SEN is enabled (SSPCON2<0> = 1), RC3/SCK/SCL

will be held low (clock stretch) following each data

transfer. The clock must be released by setting bit,

CKP (SSPCON<4>). See Section 17.4.4 “Clock

Stretching” for more detail.

17.4.3.3 Transmission

When the R/W bit of the incoming address byte is set

and an address match occurs, the R/W bit of the

SSPSTAT register is set. The received address is

loaded into the SSPBUF register. The ACK pulse will

be sent on the ninth bit and the RC3/SCK/SCL pin is

held low regardless of SEN (see Section 17.4.4

“Clock Stretching” for more detail). By stretching the

clock, the 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

SSPBUF register which also loads the SSPSR register.

Then the RC3/SCK/SCL pin should be enabled by set-

ting bit, CKP (SSPCON1<4>). The eight data bits are

shifted out on the falling edge of the SCL input. This

ensures that the SDA signal is valid during the SCL

high time (Figure 17-9).

The ACK pulse from the master-receiver is latched on

the rising edge of the ninth SCL input pulse. If the SDA

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 SDA line was

low (ACK), the next transmit data must be loaded into

the SSPBUF register. Again, the RC3/SCK/SCL pin

must be enabled by setting bit CKP.

An MSSP interrupt is generated for each data transfer

byte. The SSPIF bit must be cleared in software and

the SSPSTAT register is used to determine the status

of the byte. The SSPIF bit is set on the falling edge of

the ninth clock pulse.

17.4.4 CLOCK STRETCHING

Both 7-bit and 10-bit Slave modes implement

automatic clock stretching during a transmit sequence.

The SEN bit (SSPCON2<0>) allows clock stretching to

be enabled during receives. Setting SEN will cause

the SCL pin to be held low at the end of each data

receive sequence.

17.4.4.1 Clock Stretching for 7-Bit Slave

Receive Mode (SEN = 1)

In 7-Bit Slave 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 SSPCON1 register is

automatically cleared, forcing the SCL output to be

held low. The CKP being cleared to ‘0’ will assert the

SCL line low. The CKP bit must be set in the user’s

ISR before reception is allowed to continue. By holding

the SCL line low, the user has time to service the ISR

and read the contents of the SSPBUF before the

master device can initiate another receive sequence.

This will prevent buffer overruns from occurring (see

Figure 17-13).

17.4.4.2 Clock Stretching for 10-Bit Slave

Receive Mode (SEN = 1)

In 10-Bit Slave Receive mode during the address

sequence, clock stretching automatically takes place

but CKP is not 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

SSPADD. Clock stretching will occur on each data

receive sequence as described in 7-bit mode.

17.4.4.3 Clock Stretching for 7-Bit Slave

Transmit Mode

7-Bit Slave Transmit mode implements clock stretch-

ing by clearing the CKP bit after the falling edge of the

ninth clock if the BF bit is clear. This occurs regardless

of the state of the SEN bit.

The user’s ISR must set the CKP bit before transmis-

sion is allowed to continue. By holding the SCL line

low, the user has time to service the ISR and load the

contents of the SSPBUF before the master device can

initiate another transmit sequence (see Figure 17-9).

17.4.4.4 Clock Stretching for 10-Bit Slave

Transmit Mode

In 10-Bit Slave Transmit mode, clock stretching is

controlled during the first two address sequences by

the state of the UA bit, just as it is in 10-Bit Slave

Receive mode. The first two addresses are followed

by a third address sequence which contains the high-

order bits of the 10-bit address and the R/W bit set to

‘1’. After the third address sequence is performed, the

UA bit is not set, the module is now configured in

Transmit mode and clock stretching is controlled by

the BF flag as in 7-Bit Slave Transmit mode (see

Figure 17-11).

Note 1: If the user reads the contents of the

SSPBUF before the falling edge of the

ninth clock, thus clearing the BF bit, the

CKP bit will not be cleared and clock

stretching will not occur.

2: The CKP bit can be set in software

regardless of the state of the BF bit. The

user should be careful to clear the BF bit

in the ISR before the next receive

sequence in order to prevent an overflow

condition.

Note: If the user polls the UA bit and clears it by

updating the SSPADD register before the

falling edge of the ninth clock occurs and if

the user hasn’t cleared the BF bit by read-

ing the SSPBUF register before that time,

then the CKP bit will still NOT be asserted

low. Clock stretching on the basis of the

state of the BF bit only occurs during a

data sequence, not an address sequence.

Note 1: If the user loads the contents of SSPBUF,

setting the BF bit before the falling edge of

the ninth clock, the CKP bit will not be

cleared and clock stretching will not occur.

2: The CKP bit can be set in software

regardless of the state of the BF bit.

PIC18F2525/2620/4525/4620

17.4.4.5 Clock Synchronization and

the CKP bit

When the CKP bit is cleared, the SCL output is forced

to ‘0’. However, clearing the CKP bit will not assert the

SCL output low until the SCL output is already

sampled low. Therefore, the CKP bit will not assert the

SCL line until an external I2C master device has

already asserted the SCL line. The SCL output will

remain low until the CKP bit is set and all other

devices on the I2C bus have deasserted SCL. This

ensures that a write to the CKP bit will not violate the

minimum high time requirement for SCL (see

Figure 17-12).

17.4.5 GENERAL CALL ADDRESS

SUPPORT

The addressing procedure for the I2C bus is such that

the first byte after the Start condition usually

determines which device will be 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

(SSPCON2<7> is set). Following a Start bit detect,

8 bits are shifted into the SSPSR and the address is

compared against the SSPADD. It is also compared to

the general call address and fixed in hardware.

If the general call address matches, the SSPSR is

transferred to the SSPBUF, the BF flag bit is set (eighth

bit) and on the falling edge of the ninth bit (ACK bit), the

SSPIF interrupt flag bit is set.

When the interrupt is serviced, the source for the

interrupt can be checked by reading the contents of the

SSPBUF. The value can be used to determine if the

address was device specific or a general call address.

In 10-bit mode, the SSPADD is required to be updated

for the second half of the address to match and the UA

bit (SSPSTAT<1>) is set. If the general 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 17-15).

17.4.6 MASTER MODE

Master mode is enabled by setting and clearing the

appropriate SSPM bits in SSPCON1 and by setting the

SSPEN bit. In Master mode, the SCL and SDA lines

are manipulated by the MSSP hardware.

Master mode of operation is supported by interrupt

generation on the detection of the Start and Stop

conditions. The Stop (P) and Start (S) bits are cleared

from a Reset or when the MSSP module is disabled.

Control of the 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 SDA and SCL.

2. Assert a Repeated Start condition on SDA and

SCL.

3. Write to the SSPBUF register initiating

transmission of data/address.

4. Configure the I2C port to receive data.

5. Generate an Acknowledge condition at the end

of a received byte of data.

6. Generate a Stop condition on SDA and SCL.

The following events will cause the MSSP Interrupt

Flag bit, SSPIF, to be set (MSSP interrupt, if enabled):

• Start condition

• Stop condition

• Data transfer byte transmitted/received

• Acknowledge transmit

• Repeated Start

FIGURE 17-16: 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 SSPBUF register to

initiate transmission before the Start

condition is complete. In this case, the

SSPBUF will not be written to and the

WCOL bit will be set, indicating that a write

to the SSPBUF did not occur.

17.4.6.1 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 SDA, while SCL outputs the serial clock. The

first byte transmitted contains the slave address of the

receiving device (7 bits) and the Read/Write (R/W) bit.

In this case, the R/W bit will be logic ‘0’. Serial data is

transmitted 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 SDA, while SCL outputs the

serial clock. Serial data is received 8 bits at a time. After

each byte is received, an Acknowledge bit is transmit-

ted. Start and Stop conditions indicate the beginning

and end of transmission.

The Baud Rate Generator used for the SPI mode

operation is used to set the SCL clock frequency for

either 100 kHz, 400 kHz or 1 MHz I2C operation. See

Section 17.4.7 “Baud Rate” for more detail.

A typical transmit sequence would go as follows:

1. The user generates a Start condition by setting

the Start Enable bit, SEN (SSPCON2<0>).

2. SSPIF is set. The MSSP module will wait the

required start time before any other operation

takes place.

3. The user loads the SSPBUF with the slave

address to transmit.

4. Address is shifted out the SDA 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

SSPCON2 register.

6. The MSSP module generates an interrupt at the

end of the ninth clock cycle by setting the SSPIF

bit.

7. The user loads the SSPBUF with eight bits of

data.

8. Data is shifted out the SDA 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

SSPCON2 register.

10. The MSSP module generates an interrupt at the

end of the ninth clock cycle by setting the SSPIF

bit.

11. The user generates a Stop condition by setting

the Stop Enable bit, PEN (SSPCON2<2>).

12. Interrupt is generated once the Stop condition is

complete.

PIC18F2525/2620/4525/4620

17.4.7 BAUD RATE

In I2C Master mode, the Baud Rate Generator (BRG)

reload value is placed in the lower 7 bits of the

SSPADD register (Figure 17-17). When a write occurs

to SSPBUF, the Baud Rate Generator will automatically

begin counting. The BRG counts down to ‘0’ and stops

until another reload has taken place. The BRG count is

decremented twice per instruction cycle (T

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 SCL pin

will remain in its last state.

Table 17-3 demonstrates clock rates based on

instruction cycles and the BRG value loaded into

SSPADD.

PIC18F2525/2620/4525/4620

17.4.7.1 Clock Arbitration

Clock arbitration occurs when the master, during any

receive, transmit or Repeated Start/Stop condition,

deasserts the SCL pin (SCL allowed to float high).

When the SCL pin is allowed to float high, the Baud

Rate Generator (BRG) is suspended from counting

until the SCL pin is actually sampled high. When the

SCL pin is sampled high, the Baud Rate Generator is

reloaded with the contents of SSPADD<6:0> and

begins counting. This ensures that the SCL high time

will always be at least one BRG rollover count in the

event that the clock is held low by an external device

(Figure 17-18).

17.4.8 I2C MASTER MODE START

CONDITION TIMING

To initiate a Start condition, the user sets the Start

Enable bit, SEN (SSPCON2<0>). If the SDA and SCL

pins are sampled high, the Baud Rate Generator is

reloaded with the contents of SSPADD<6:0> and starts

its count. If SCL and SDA are both sampled high when

the Baud Rate Generator times out (TBRG), the SDA

pin is driven low. The action of the SDA being driven

low while SCL is high is the Start condition and causes

the S bit (SSPSTAT<3>) to be set. Following this, the

Baud Rate Generator is reloaded with the contents of

SSPADD<6:0> and resumes its count. When the Baud

Rate Generator times out (TBRG), the SEN bit

(SSPCON2<0>) will be automatically cleared by

hardware; the Baud Rate Generator is suspended,

leaving the SDA line held low and the Start condition is

complete.

17.4.8.1 WCOL Status Flag

If the user writes the SSPBUF when a Start sequence

is in progress, the WCOL is set and the contents of the

buffer are unchanged (the write doesn’t occur).

FIGURE 17-19: FIRST START BIT TIMING

Note: If at the beginning of the Start condition,

the SDA and SCL pins are already sam-

pled low, or if during the Start condition, the

SCL line is sampled low before the SDA

line is driven low, a bus collision occurs,

the Bus Collision Interrupt Flag, BCLIF, is

set, the Start condition is aborted and the

I2C module is reset into its Idle state.

Note: Because queueing of events is not

allowed, writing to the lower 5 bits of

SSPCON2 is disabled until the Start

condition is complete.

17.4.9 I2C MASTER MODE REPEATED

START CONDITION TIMING

A Repeated Start condition occurs when the RSEN bit

(SSPCON2<1>) is programmed high and the I2C logic

module is in the Idle state. When the RSEN bit is set,

the SCL pin is asserted low. When the SCL pin is

sampled low, the Baud Rate Generator is loaded with

the contents of SSPADD<5:0> and begins counting.

The SDA pin is released (brought high) for one Baud

Rate Generator count (TBRG). When the Baud Rate

Generator times out, if SDA is sampled high, the SCL

pin will be deasserted (brought high). When SCL is

sampled high, the Baud Rate Generator is reloaded

with the contents of SSPADD<6:0> and begins count-

ing. SDA and SCL must be sampled high for one TBRG.

This action is then followed by assertion of the SDA pin

(SDA = 0) for one TBRG while SCL is high. Following

this, the RSEN bit (SSPCON2<1>) will be automatically

cleared and the Baud Rate Generator will not be

reloaded, leaving the SDA pin held low. As soon as a

Start condition is detected on the SDA and SCL pins,

the S bit (SSPSTAT<3>) will be set. The SSPIF bit will

not be set until the Baud Rate Generator has timed out.

Immediately following the SSPIF bit getting set, the user

may write the SSPBUF with the 7-bit address in 7-bit

mode, or the default first address in 10-bit mode. After

the first eight bits are transmitted and an ACK is

received, the user may then transmit an additional eight

bits of address (10-bit mode) or eight bits of data (7-bit

mode).

17.4.9.1 WCOL Status Flag

If the user writes the SSPBUF when a Repeated Start

sequence is in progress, the WCOL is set and the

contents of the buffer are unchanged (the write doesn’t

occur).

FIGURE 17-20: REPEAT START CONDITION WAVEFORM

Note 1: If RSEN is programmed while any other

event is in progress, it will not take effect.

2: A bus collision during the Repeated Start

condition occurs if:

• SDA is sampled low when SCL goes

from low-to-high.

• SCL goes low before SDA is

asserted low. This may indicate that

another master is attempting to

transmit a data ‘1’.

Note: Because queueing of events is not

allowed, writing of the lower 5 bits of

SSPCON2 is disabled until the Repeated

Start condition is complete.

17.4.10 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 simply

writing a value to the SSPBUF register. This action will

set the Buffer Full flag bit, BF and allow the Baud Rate

Generator to begin counting and start the next

transmission. Each bit of address/data will be shifted

out onto the SDA pin after the falling edge of SCL is

asserted (see data hold time specification

parameter 106). SCL is held low for one Baud Rate

Generator rollover count (TBRG). Data should be valid

before SCL is released high (see data setup time

specification parameter 107). When the SCL pin is

released high, it is held that way for TBRG. The data on

the SDA pin must remain stable for that duration and

some hold time after the next falling edge of SCL. After

the eighth bit is shifted out (the falling edge of the eighth

clock), the BF flag is cleared and the master releases

SDA. This allows the slave device being addressed to

respond with an ACK bit during the ninth bit time if an

address match occurred, or if data was received

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 SSPIF bit is set and the master clock (Baud

Rate Generator) is suspended until the next data byte

is loaded into the SSPBUF, leaving SCL low and SDA

unchanged (Figure 17-21).

After the write to the SSPBUF, each bit of the address

will be shifted out on the falling edge of SCL until all

seven address bits and the R/W bit are completed. On

the falling edge of the eighth clock, the master will

deassert the SDA pin, allowing the slave to respond

with an Acknowledge. On the falling edge of the ninth

clock, the master will sample the SDA pin to see if the

address was recognized by a slave. The status of the

ACK bit is loaded into the ACKSTAT status bit

(SSPCON2<6>). Following the falling edge of the ninth

clock transmission of the address, the SSPIF is set, the

BF flag is cleared and the Baud Rate Generator is

turned off until another write to the SSPBUF takes

place, holding SCL low and allowing SDA to float.

17.4.10.1 BF Status Flag

In Transmit mode, the BF bit (SSPSTAT<0>) is set

when the CPU writes to SSPBUF and is cleared when

all 8 bits are shifted out.

17.4.10.2 WCOL Status Flag

If the user writes the SSPBUF when a transmit is

already in progress (i.e., SSPSR is still shifting out a

data byte), the WCOL flag is set and the contents of the

buffer are unchanged (the write doesn’t occur) after

2TCY after the SSPBUF write. If SSPBUF is rewritten

within 2 TCY, the WCOL bit is set and SSPBUF is

updated. This may result in a corrupted transfer. The

user should verify that the WCOL flag is clear after

each write to SSPBUF to ensure the transfer is correct.

17.4.10.3 ACKSTAT Status Flag

In Transmit mode, the ACKSTAT bit (SSPCON2<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.

17.4.11 I2C MASTER MODE RECEPTION

Master mode reception is enabled by programming the

Receive Enable bit, RCEN (SSPCON2<3>).

The Baud Rate Generator begins counting and on each

rollover, the state of the SCL pin changes (high-to-low/

low-to-high) and data is shifted into the SSPSR. After

the falling edge of the eighth clock, the receive enable

flag is automatically cleared, the contents of the

SSPSR are loaded into the SSPBUF, the BF flag bit is

set, the SSPIF flag bit is set and the Baud Rate Gener-

ator is suspended from counting, holding SCL low. The

MSSP is now in Idle state awaiting the next command.

When the buffer is read by the CPU, the BF flag bit is

automatically cleared. The user can then send an

Acknowledge bit at the end of reception by setting the

Acknowledge Sequence Enable bit, ACKEN

(SSPCON2<4>).

17.4.11.1 BF Status Flag

In receive operation, the BF bit is set when an address

or data byte is loaded into SSPBUF from SSPSR. It is

cleared when the SSPBUF register is read.

17.4.11.2 SSPOV Status Flag

In receive operation, the SSPOV bit is set when 8 bits

are received into the SSPSR and the BF flag bit is

already set from a previous reception.

17.4.11.3 WCOL Status Flag

If the user writes the SSPBUF when a receive is

already in progress (i.e., SSPSR is still 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 Idle state

before the RCEN bit is set or the RCEN bit

will be disregarded.

17.4.12 ACKNOWLEDGE SEQUENCE

TIMING

An Acknowledge sequence is enabled by setting the

Acknowledge Sequence Enable bit, ACKEN

(SSPCON2<4>). When this bit is set, the SCL pin is

pulled low and the contents of the Acknowledge data bit

are presented on the SDA pin. If the user wishes to gen-

erate an Acknowledge, then the ACKDT bit should be

cleared. If not, the user should set the ACKDT bit before

starting an Acknowledge sequence. The Baud Rate

Generator then counts for one rollover period (TBRG)

and the SCL pin is deasserted (pulled high). When the

SCL pin is sampled high (clock arbitration), the Baud

Rate Generator counts for TBRG. The SCL pin is then

pulled low. Following this, the ACKEN bit is automatically

cleared, the Baud Rate Generator is turned off and the

MSSP module then goes into Idle mode (Figure 17-23).

17.4.12.1 WCOL Status Flag

If the user writes the SSPBUF when an Acknowledge

sequence is in progress, then WCOL is set and the

contents of the buffer are unchanged (the write doesn’t

occur).

17.4.13 STOP CONDITION TIMING

A Stop bit is asserted on the SDA pin at the end of a

receive/transmit by setting the Stop Sequence Enable

bit, PEN (SSPCON2<2>). At the end of a receive/

transmit, the SCL line is held low after the falling edge

of the ninth clock. When the PEN bit is set, the master

will assert the SDA line low. When the SDA line is

sampled low, the Baud Rate Generator is reloaded and

counts down to 0. When the Baud Rate Generator

times out, the SCL pin will be brought high and one

TBRG (Baud Rate Generator rollover count) later, the

SDA pin will be deasserted. When the SDA pin is

sampled high while SCL is high, the P bit

(SSPSTAT<4>) is set. A TBRG later, the PEN bit is

cleared and the SSPIF bit is set (Figure 17-24).

17.4.13.1 WCOL Status Flag

If the user writes the SSPBUF when a Stop sequence

is in progress, then the WCOL bit is set and the

17.4.14 SLEEP OPERATION

While in Sleep mode, the I2C module can receive

addresses or data and when an address match or

complete byte transfer occurs, wake the processor

from Sleep (if the MSSP interrupt is enabled).

17.4.15 EFFECTS OF A RESET

A Reset disables the MSSP module and terminates the

current transfer.

17.4.16 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 (SSPSTAT<4>) is set, or the

bus is Idle, with both the S and P bits clear. When the

bus is busy, enabling the MSSP interrupt will generate

the interrupt when the Stop condition occurs.

In multi-master operation, the SDA line must be

monitored for arbitration to see if the signal level is the

expected output level. This check is performed in

hardware with the result placed in the BCLIF bit.

The states where arbitration can be lost are:

• Address Transfer

• Data Transfer

• A Start Condition

• A Repeated Start Condition

• An Acknowledge Condition

17.4.17 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 SDA pin, arbitration takes place when the master

outputs a ‘1’ on SDA, by letting SDA float high and

another master asserts a ‘0’. When the SCL pin floats

high, data should be stable. If the expected data on

SDA is a ‘1’ and the data sampled on the SDA pin = 0,

then a bus collision has taken place. The master will set

the Bus Collision Interrupt Flag, BCLIF, and reset the

I2C port to its Idle state (Figure 17-25).

If a transmit was in progress when the bus collision

occurred, the transmission is halted, the BF flag is

cleared, the SDA and SCL lines are deasserted and the

SSPBUF can 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 condition is aborted, the SDA and SCL

lines are deasserted and the respective control bits in

the SSPCON2 register are cleared. When the user ser-

vices the bus collision Interrupt Service Routine, and if

the I2C bus is free, the user can resume communication

by asserting a Start condition.

The master will continue to monitor the SDA and SCL

pins. If a Stop condition occurs, the SSPIF bit will be set.

A write to the SSPBUF will start the transmission of

data at the first data bit, regardless of where the

transmitter left off when the bus collision occurred.

In Multi-Master mode, the interrupt generation on the

detection of Start and Stop conditions allows the

determination of when the bus is free. Control of the I2C

bus can be taken when the P bit is set in the SSPSTAT

cleared.

17.4.17.1 Bus Collision During a

Start Condition

During a Start condition, a bus collision occurs if:

a) SDA or SCL are sampled low at the beginning of

the Start condition (Figure 17-26).

b) SCL is sampled low before SDA is asserted low

(Figure 17-27).

During a Start condition, both the SDA and the SCL

pins are monitored.

If the SDA pin is already low, or the SCL pin is already

low, then all of the following occur:

• the Start condition is aborted,

• the BCLIF flag is set and

• the MSSP module is reset to its Idle state

(Figure 17-26).

The Start condition begins with the SDA and SCL pins

deasserted. When the SDA pin is sampled high, the

Baud Rate Generator is loaded from SSPADD<6:0>

and counts down to 0. If the SCL pin is sampled low

while SDA is high, a bus collision occurs because it is

assumed that another master is attempting to drive a

data ‘1’ during the Start condition.

If the SDA pin is sampled low during this count, the

BRG is reset and the SDA line is asserted early

(Figure 17-28). If, however, a ‘1’ is sampled on the SDA

pin, the SDA pin is asserted low at the end of the BRG

count. The Baud Rate Generator is then reloaded and

counts down to 0; if the SCL pin is sampled as ‘0’

during this time, a bus collision does not occur. At the

end of the BRG count, the SCL pin is asserted low.

FIGURE 17-26: BUS COLLISION DURING START CONDITION (SDA 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 SDA before the other.

This condition does not cause a bus

collision because the two masters must be

allowed to arbitrate the first address

following the Start condition. If the address

is the same, arbitration must be allowed to

continue into the data portion, Repeated

Start or Stop conditions.

17.4.17.2 Bus Collision During a Repeated

Start Condition

During a Repeated Start condition, a bus collision

occurs if:

a) A low level is sampled on SDA when SCL goes

from low level to high level.

b) SCL goes low before SDA is asserted low,

indicating that another master is attempting to

transmit a data ‘1’.

When the user deasserts SDA and the pin is allowed to

float high, the BRG is loaded with SSPADD<6:0> and

counts down to 0. The SCL pin is then deasserted and

when sampled high, the SDA pin is sampled.

If SDA is low, a bus collision has occurred (i.e., another

master is attempting to transmit a data ‘0’, Figure 17-29).

If SDA is sampled high, the BRG is reloaded and begins

counting. If SDA goes from high-to-low before the BRG

times out, no bus collision occurs because no two

masters can assert SDA at exactly the same time.

If SCL goes from high-to-low before the BRG times out

and SDA has not already been asserted, a bus collision

occurs. In this case, another master is attempting to

transmit a data ‘1’ during the Repeated Start condition,

see Figure 17-30.

If, at the end of the BRG time-out, both SCL and SDA

are still high, the SDA pin is driven low and the BRG is

reloaded and begins counting. At the end of the count,

regardless of the status of the SCL pin, the SCL pin is

driven low and the Repeated Start condition is

complete.

17.4.17.3 Bus Collision During a Stop

Condition

Bus collision occurs during a Stop condition if:

a) After the SDA pin has been deasserted and

allowed to float high, SDA is sampled low after

the BRG has timed out.

b) After the SCL pin is deasserted, SCL is sampled

low before SDA goes high.

The Stop condition begins with SDA asserted low.

When SDA is sampled low, the SCL pin is allowed to

float. When the pin is sampled high (clock arbitration),

the Baud Rate Generator is loaded with SSPADD<6:0>

and counts down to 0. After the BRG times out, SDA is

sampled. If SDA is sampled low, a bus collision has

occurred. This is due to another master attempting to

drive a data ‘0’ (Figure 17-31). If the SCL pin is

sampled low before SDA is allowed to float high, a bus

collision occurs. This is another case of another master

attempting to drive a data ‘0’ (Figure 17-32).

18.0 ENHANCED UNIVERSAL

SYNCHRONOUS RECEIVER

TRANSMITTER (EUSART)

The Enhanced Universal Synchronous Asynchronous

Receiver Transmitter (EUSART) module is one of the

two serial I/O modules. (Generically, the USART 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.

The EUSART can be configured in the following

modes:

• Asynchronous (full duplex) with:

- Auto-wake-up on character reception

- Auto-baud calibration

- 12-bit Break character transmission

• Synchronous – Master (half duplex) with

selectable clock polarity

• Synchronous – Slave (half duplex) with selectable

clock polarity

The pins of the Enhanced USART are multiplexed

with PORTC. In order to configure RC6/TX/CK and

RC7/RX/DT as a USART:

• SPEN bit (RCSTA<7>) must be set (= 1)

• TRISC<7> bit must be set (= 1)

• TRISC<6> bit must be set (= 1)

The operation of the Enhanced USART module is

controlled through three registers:

• Transmit Status and Control (TXSTA)

• Receive Status and Control (RCSTA)

• Baud Rate Control (BAUDCON)

These are detailed on the following pages in

respectively.

Note: The EUSART control will automatically

reconfigure the pin from input to output as

needed.

PIC18F2525/2620/4525/4620

18.1 Baud Rate Generator (BRG)

The BRG is a dedicated 8-bit or 16-bit generator that

supports both the Asynchronous and Synchronous

modes of the EUSART. By default, the BRG operates

in 8-bit mode; setting the BRG16 bit (BAUDCON<3>)

selects 16-bit mode.

The SPBRGH:SPBRG register pair controls the period

of a free-running timer. In Asynchronous mode, bits,

BRGH (TXSTA<2>) and BRG16 (BAUDCON<3>), also

control the baud rate. In Synchronous mode, BRGH is

ignored. Table 18-1 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 SPBRGH:SPBRG registers can be

calculated using the formulas in Table 18-1. From this,

the error in baud rate can be determined. An example

calculation is shown in Example 18-1. Typical baud

rates and error values for the various Asynchronous

modes are shown in Table 18-2. It may be advantageous

to use the high baud rate (BRGH = 1) or the 16-bit BRG

to reduce the baud rate error, or achieve a slow baud

rate for a fast oscillator frequency.

Writing any value (even the same value) to the

SPBRGH:SPBRG registers immediately reloads the

BRG timer. This may corrupt a transmission or recep-

tion already in progress. This ensures the BRG does

not wait for a timer overflow before outputting the new

baud rate.

18.1.1 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 SPBRG register pair.

18.1.2 SAMPLING

When SYNC is clear or when neither BRG16 or BRGH

are set, the data on the RX pin is sampled three times

by a majority detect circuit to determine if a high or a

low level is present at the RX pin. The data on the RX

pin is sampled once when SYNC is set or when

BRGH16 and BRGH are both set.

EXAMPLE 18-1: CALCULATING BAUD RATE ERROR

TABLE 18-2: REGISTERS ASSOCIATED WITH BAUD RATE GENERATOR

For a device with FOSC of 16 MHz, desired baud rate of 9600, Asynchronous mode, 8-bit BRG:

Desired Baud Rate = FOSC/(64 ([SPBRGH:SPBRG] + 1))

Solving for SPBRGH:SPBRG:

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%

18.1.3 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 18-1) 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 RX signal, the RX 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 min-

imize any effects caused by asymmetry of the incoming

signal. After a Start bit, the SPBRG begins counting up,

using the preselected clock source on the first rising

edge of RX. After eight bits on the RX pin or the fifth ris-

ing edge, an accumulated value totalling the proper BRG

period is left in the SPBRGH:SPBRG register pair. Once

the 5th edge is seen (this should correspond to the Stop

bit), the ABDEN bit is automatically cleared.

If a rollover of the BRG occurs (an overflow from FFFFh

to 0000h), the event is trapped by the ABDOVF status

bit (BAUDCON<7>). It is set in hardware by BRG

rollovers and can be set or cleared by the user in

software. ABD mode remains active after rollover

events and the ABDEN bit remains set (Figure 18-2).

While calibrating the baud rate period, the BRG

registers are clocked at 1/8th the preconfigured clock

rate. Note that the BRG clock will be configured by the

BRG16 and BRGH bits. Independent of the BRG16 bit

setting, both the SPBRG and SPBRGH will be used as

a 16-bit counter. This allows the user to verify that no

carry occurred for 8-bit modes by checking for 00h in

the SPBRGH register. Refer to Table 18-4 for counter

clock rates to the BRG.

While the ABD sequence takes place, the EUSART

state machine is held in Idle. The RCIF interrupt is set

once the fifth rising edge on RX is detected. The value

in the RCREG needs to be read to clear the RCIF

interrupt. The contents of RCREG should be discarded.

TABLE 18-4: BRG COUNTER

CLOCK RATES

18.1.3.1 ABD and EUSART Transmission

Since the BRG clock is reversed during ABD acquisi-

tion, the EUSART transmitter cannot be used during

ABD. This means that whenever the ABDEN bit is set,

TXREG 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

timing and communication baud rates

must be taken into consideration when

using the Auto-Baud Rate Detection

feature.

18.2 EUSART Asynchronous Mode

The Asynchronous mode of operation is selected by

clearing the SYNC bit (TXSTA<4>). In this mode, the

EUSART uses standard Non-Return-to-Zero (NRZ)

format (one Start bit, eight or nine data bits and one

Stop bit). The most common data format is 8 bits. An

on-chip dedicated 8-bit/16-bit Baud Rate Generator

can be used to derive standard baud rate frequencies

from the 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 (TXSTA<2> and BAUDCON<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

18.2.1 EUSART ASYNCHRONOUS

TRANSMITTER

The EUSART transmitter block diagram is shown in

Figure 18-3. 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,

TXREG. The TXREG 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 TXREG register (if available).

Once the TXREG register transfers the data to the TSR

CY), the TXREG register is empty

and the TXIF flag bit (PIR1<4>) is set. This interrupt can

be enabled or disabled by setting or clearing the interrupt

enable bit, TXIE (PIE1<4>). TXIF will be set regardless of

the state of TXIE; it cannot be cleared in software. TXIF

is also not cleared immediately upon loading TXREG, but

becomes valid in the second instruction cycle following

the load instruction. Polling TXIF immediately following a

load of TXREG will return invalid results.

While TXIF indicates the status of the TXREG register,

another bit, TRMT (TXSTA<1>), shows the status of

the TSR register. TRMT is a read-only bit which is set

when the TSR register is empty. No interrupt logic is

tied to this bit so the user has to poll this bit in order to

determine if the TSR register is empty.

To set up an Asynchronous Transmission:

1. Initialize the SPBRGH:SPBRG registers for the

appropriate baud rate. Set or clear the BRGH

and BRG16 bits, as required, to achieve the

desired baud rate.

2. Enable the asynchronous serial port by clearing

bit, SYNC, and setting bit, SPEN.

3. If interrupts are desired, set enable bit, TXIE.

4. If 9-bit transmission is desired, set transmit bit,

TX9. Can be used as address/data bit.

5. Enable the transmission by setting bit, TXEN,

which will also set bit, TXIF.

6. If 9-bit transmission is selected, the ninth bit

should be loaded in bit, TX9D.

7. Load data to the TXREG register (starts

transmission).

8. If using interrupts, ensure that the GIE and PEIE

bits in the INTCON register (INTCON<7:6>) are

set.

FIGURE 18-3: EUSART TRANSMIT BLOCK DIAGRAM

memory so it is not available to the user.

18.2.2 EUSART ASYNCHRONOUS

RECEIVER

The receiver block diagram is shown in Figure 18-6.

The data is received on the RX 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 SPBRGH:SPBRG registers for the

appropriate baud rate. Set or clear the BRGH

and BRG16 bits, as required, to achieve the

desired baud rate.

2. Enable the asynchronous serial port by clearing

bit, SYNC, and setting bit, SPEN.

3. If interrupts are desired, set enable bit, RCIE.

4. If 9-bit reception is desired, set bit, RX9.

5. Enable the reception by setting bit, CREN.

6. Flag bit, RCIF, will be set when reception is

complete and an interrupt will be generated if

enable bit, RCIE, was set.

7. Read the RCSTA register to get the 9th bit (if

enabled) and determine if any error occurred

during reception.

8. Read the 8-bit received data by reading the

RCREG 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.

18.2.3 SETTING UP 9-BIT MODE WITH

ADDRESS DETECT

This mode would typically be used in RS-485 systems.

To set up an Asynchronous Reception with Address

Detect Enable:

1. Initialize the SPBRGH:SPBRG registers for the

appropriate baud rate. Set or clear the BRGH

and BRG16 bits, as required, to achieve the

desired baud rate.

2. Enable the asynchronous serial port by clearing

the SYNC bit and setting the SPEN bit.

3. If interrupts are required, set the RCIE bit and

select the desired priority level with the RCIP bit.

4. Set the RX9 bit to enable 9-bit reception.

5. Set the ADDEN bit to enable address detect.

6. Enable reception by setting the CREN bit.

7. The RCIF bit will be set when reception is

complete. The interrupt will be Acknowledged if

the RCIE and GIE bits are set.

8. Read the RCSTA register to determine if any

error occurred during reception, as well as read

bit 9 of data (if applicable).

9. Read RCREG to determine if the device is being

addressed.

10. If any error occurred, clear the CREN bit.

11. If the device has been addressed, clear the

ADDEN bit to allow all received data into the

receive buffer and interrupt the CPU.

18.2.4 AUTO-WAKE-UP ON SYNC

BREAK CHARACTER

During Sleep mode, all clocks to the EUSART are

suspended. Because of this, the Baud Rate Generator

is inactive and a proper byte reception cannot be per-

formed. The auto-wake-up feature allows the controller

to wake-up due to activity on the RX/DT line while the

EUSART is operating in Asynchronous mode.

The auto-wake-up feature is enabled by setting the

WUE bit (BAUDCON<1>). Once set, the typical receive

sequence on RX/DT is disabled and the EUSART

remains in an Idle state, monitoring for a wake-up event

independent of the CPU mode. A wake-up event

consists of a high-to-low transition on the RX/DT line.

(This coincides with the start of a Sync Break or a

Wake-up Signal character for the LIN protocol.)

Following a wake-up event, the module generates an

RCIF interrupt. The interrupt is generated synchro-

nously to the Q clocks in normal operating modes

(Figure 18-8) and asynchronously, if the device is in

Sleep mode (Figure 18-9). The interrupt condition is

cleared by reading the RCREG register.

The WUE bit is automatically cleared once a low-to-

high transition is observed on the RX line following the

wake-up 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.

18.2.4.1 Special Considerations Using

Auto-Wake-up

Since auto-wake-up functions by sensing rising edge

transitions on RX/DT, information with any state

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., XT or HS mode). The Sync

Break (or wake-up signal) character must be of

sufficient length and be followed by a sufficient interval

to allow enough time for the selected oscillator to start

and provide proper initialization of the EUSART.

18.2.4.2 Special Considerations Using

the WUE Bit

The timing of WUE and RCIF 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 RCIF bit. The WUE bit is

cleared after this when a rising edge is seen on RX/DT.

The interrupt condition is then cleared by reading the

RCREG register. Ordinarily, the data in RCREG will be

dummy data and should be discarded.

The fact that the WUE bit has been cleared (or is still

set) and the RCIF flag is set should not be used as an

indicator of the integrity of the data in RCREG. Users

should consider implementing a parallel method in

firmware to verify received data integrity.

To 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.

18.2.5 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 (TXSTA<3> and

TXSTA<5>) are set while the Transmit Shift Register is

loaded with data. Note that the value of data written to

TXREG will be ignored and all ‘0’s will be transmitted.

The SENDB bit is automatically reset by hardware 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 TXREG 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 18-10 for the timing of the Break

character sequence.

18.2.5.1 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 TXREG with a dummy character to

initiate transmission (the value is ignored).

4. Write ‘55h’ to TXREG to load the Sync character

into the transmit FIFO buffer.

5. After the Break has been sent, the SENDB bit is

reset by hardware. The Sync character now

transmits in the preconfigured mode.

When the TXREG becomes empty, as indicated by the

TXIF, the next data byte can be written to TXREG.

18.2.6 RECEIVING A BREAK CHARACTER

The Enhanced USART module can receive a Break

character in two ways.

The first method forces configuration of the baud rate

at a frequency of 9/13 the typical speed. This allows for

the Stop bit transition to be at the correct sampling loca-

tion (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 18.2.4 “Auto-Wake-up on Sync

Break Character”. By enabling this feature, the

EUSART will sample the next two transitions on RX/DT,

cause an RCIF 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 ABD bit

once the TXIF interrupt is observed.

18.3 EUSART Synchronous

Master Mode

The Synchronous Master mode is entered by setting

the CSRC bit (TXSTA<7>). In this mode, the data is

transmitted in a half-duplex manner (i.e., transmission

and reception do not occur at the same time). When

transmitting data, the reception is inhibited and vice

versa. Synchronous mode is entered by setting bit,

SYNC (TXSTA<4>). In addition, enable bit, SPEN

(RCSTA<7>), is set in order to configure the TX and RX

pins to CK (clock) and DT (data) lines, respectively.

The Master mode indicates that the processor

transmits the master clock on the CK line. Clock

polarity is selected with the TXCKP bit

(BAUDCON<4>); setting TXCKP sets the Idle state on

CK as high, while clearing the bit sets the Idle state as

low. This option is provided to support Microwire

devices with this module.

18.3.1 EUSART SYNCHRONOUS MASTER

TRANSMISSION

The EUSART transmitter block diagram is shown in

Figure 18-3. The heart of the transmitter is the Transmit

(Serial) Shift Register (TSR). The Shift register obtains

its data from the Read/Write Transmit Buffer register,

TXREG. The TXREG register is loaded with data in

software. The TSR register is not loaded until the last

bit has been transmitted from the previous load. As

soon as the last bit is transmitted, the TSR is loaded

with new data from the TXREG (if available).

Once the TXREG register transfers the data to the TSR

the TXIF flag bit (PIR1<4>) is set. The interrupt can be

enabled or disabled by setting or clearing the interrupt

enable bit, TXIE (PIE1<4>). TXIF is set regardless of

the state of enable bit, TXIE; it cannot be cleared in

software. It will reset only when new data is loaded into

the TXREG register.

While flag bit, TXIF, indicates the status of the TXREG

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 has to poll this bit in order to deter-

mine 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 SPBRGH:SPBRG registers for the

appropriate baud rate. Set or clear the BRG16

bit, as required, to achieve the desired baud rate.

2. Enable the synchronous master serial port by

18.3.2 EUSART SYNCHRONOUS

MASTER RECEPTION

Once Synchronous mode is selected, reception is

enabled by setting either the Single Receive Enable bit,

SREN (RCSTA<5>), or the Continuous Receive

Enable bit, CREN (RCSTA<4>). Data is sampled on the

RX pin on the falling edge of the clock.

If enable bit, SREN, is set, only a single word is

received. If enable bit, CREN, is set, the reception is

continuous until CREN is cleared. If both bits are set,

then CREN takes precedence.

To set up a Synchronous Master Reception:

1. Initialize the SPBRGH:SPBRG registers for the

appropriate baud rate. Set or clear the BRG16

bit, as required, to achieve the desired baud rate.

2. Enable the synchronous master serial port by

setting bits, SYNC, SPEN and CSRC.

3. Ensure bits, CREN and SREN, are clear.

4. If interrupts are desired, set enable bit, RCIE.

5. If 9-bit reception is desired, set bit, RX9.

6. If a single reception is required, set bit, SREN.

For continuous reception, set bit, CREN.

7. Interrupt flag bit, RCIF, will be set when reception

is complete and an interrupt will be generated if

the enable bit, RCIE, was set.

8. Read the RCSTA register to get the 9th bit (if

enabled) and determine if any error occurred

during reception.

9. Read the 8-bit received data by reading the

RCREG register.

10. If any error occurred, clear the error by clearing

bit, CREN.

11. If using interrupts, ensure that the GIE and PEIE bits

in the INTCON register (INTCON<7:6>) are set.

18.4 EUSART Synchronous

Slave Mode

Synchronous Slave mode is entered by clearing bit,

CSRC (TXSTA<7>). This mode differs from the

Synchronous Master mode in that the shift clock is sup-

plied externally at the CK pin (instead of being supplied

internally in Master mode). This allows the device to

transfer or receive data while in any low-power mode.

18.4.1 EUSART SYNCHRONOUS

SLAVE TRANSMISSION

The operation of the Synchronous Master and Slave

modes is identical, except in the case of the Sleep

mode.

If two words are written to the TXREG and then the

SLEEP instruction is executed, the following will occur:

a) The first word will immediately transfer to the

TSR register and transmit.

b) The second word will remain in the TXREG

c) Flag bit, TXIF, will not be set.

d) When the first word has been shifted out of TSR,

the TXREG register will transfer the second

word to the TSR and flag bit, TXIF, will now be

set.

e) If enable bit, TXIE, is set, the interrupt will wake

the chip from Sleep. If the global interrupt is

enabled, the program will branch to the interrupt

vector.

To set up a Synchronous Slave Transmission:

1. Enable the synchronous slave serial port by

setting bits, SYNC and SPEN, and clearing bit,

CSRC.

2. Clear bits, CREN and SREN.

3. If interrupts are desired, set enable bit, TXIE.

4. If 9-bit transmission is desired, set bit, TX9.

5. Enable the transmission by setting enable bit,

TXEN.

6. If 9-bit transmission is selected, the ninth bit

should be loaded in bit, TX9D.

7. Start transmission by loading data to the

TXREGx register.

8. If using interrupts, ensure that the GIE and PEIE

bits in the INTCON register (INTCON<7:6>) are

set.

18.4.2 EUSART SYNCHRONOUS SLAVE

RECEPTION

The operation of the Synchronous Master and Slave

modes is identical, except in the case of Sleep, or any

Idle mode and bit, SREN, which is a “don’t care” in

Slave mode.

If receive is enabled by setting the CREN bit prior to

entering Sleep or any Idle mode, then a word may be

received while in this low-power mode. Once the word

is received, the RSR register will transfer the data to the

RCREG register. If the RCIE enable bit is set, the

interrupt generated will wake the 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, RCIE.

3. If 9-bit reception is desired, set bit, RX9.

4. To enable reception, set enable bit, CREN.

5. Flag bit, RCIF, will be set when reception is

complete. An interrupt will be generated if

enable bit, RCIE, was set.

6. Read the RCSTA register to get the 9th bit (if

enabled) and determine if any error occurred

during reception.

7. Read the 8-bit received data by reading the

RCREG register.

8. If any error occurred, clear the error by clearing

bit, CREN.

9. If using interrupts, ensure that the GIE and PEIE

bits in the INTCON register (INTCON<7:6>) are

set.

19.0 10-BIT ANALOG-TO-DIGITAL

CONVERTER (A/D) MODULE

The Analog-to-Digital (A/D) converter module has

10 inputs for the 28-pin devices and 13 for the 40/44-pin

devices. This module allows conversion of an analog

input signal to a corresponding 10-bit digital number.

The module has five registers:

• A/D Result High Register (ADRESH)

• A/D Result Low Register (ADRESL)

• A/D Control Register 0 (ADCON0)

• A/D Control Register 1 (ADCON1)

• A/D Control Register 2 (ADCON2)

The ADCON0 register, shown in Register 19-1,

controls the operation of the A/D module. The

ADCON1 register, shown in Register 19-2, configures

the functions of the port pins. The ADCON2 register,

shown in Register 19-3, configures the A/D clock

source, programmed acquisition time and justification.

PIC18F2525/2620/4525/4620

The analog reference voltage is software selectable to

either the device’s positive and negative supply voltage

(VDD and VSS), or the voltage level on the RA3/AN3/

VREF+ and RA2/AN2/VREF-/CVREF pins.

The A/D converter has a unique feature of being able

to operate while the device is in Sleep mode. To

operate in Sleep, the A/D conversion clock must be

derived from the A/D’s internal RC oscillator.

The output of the sample and hold is the input into the

converter, which generates the result via successive

approximation.

A device Reset forces all registers to their Reset state.

This forces the A/D module to be turned off and any

conversion in progress is aborted.

Each port pin associated with the A/D converter can be

configured as an analog input, or as a digital I/O. The

ADRESH and ADRESL registers contain the result of

the A/D conversion. When the A/D conversion is

complete, the result is loaded into the

ADRESH:ADRESL register pair, the GO/DONE bit

(ADCON0 register) is cleared and A/D Interrupt Flag bit,

ADIF, is set. The block diagram of the A/D module is

shown in Figure 19-1.

The value in the ADRESH:ADRESL registers is not

modified for a Power-on Reset. The ADRESH:ADRESL

registers will contain unknown data after a Power-on

Reset.

After the A/D module has been configured as desired,

the selected channel must be acquired before the

conversion is started. The analog input channels must

have their corresponding TRIS bits selected as an

input. To determine acquisition time, see Section 19.1

“A/D Acquisition Requirements”. After this acquisi-

tion time has elapsed, the A/D conversion can be

started. An acquisition time can be programmed to

occur between setting the GO/DONE bit and the actual

start of the conversion.

The following steps should be followed to perform an A/D

conversion:

1. Configure the A/D module:

• Configure analog pins, voltage reference and

digital I/O (ADCON1)

• Select A/D input channel (ADCON0)

• Select A/D acquisition time (ADCON2)

• Select A/D conversion clock (ADCON2)

• Turn on A/D module (ADCON0)

2. Configure A/D interrupt (if desired):

• Clear ADIF bit

• Set ADIE bit

• Set GIE bit

3. Wait the required acquisition time (if required).

4. Start conversion:

• Set GO/DONE bit (ADCON0 register)

5. Wait for A/D conversion to complete, by either:

• Polling for the GO/DONE bit to be cleared

• 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 the next acquisition starts.

19.1 A/D Acquisition Requirements

For the A/D converter to meet its specified accuracy,

the charge holding capacitor (CHOLD) must be allowed

to fully charge to the input channel voltage level. The

analog input model is shown in Figure 19-3. The

source impedance (RS) and the internal sampling

switch (RSS) impedance directly affect the time

required to charge the capacitor CHOLD. The sampling

switch (RSS) impedance 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 19-1 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.

Example 19-3 shows the calculation of the minimum

required acquisition time TACQ. This calculation is

based on the following application system

assumptions:

CHOLD = 25 pF

Rs = 2.5 kΩ

Conversion Error ≤1/2 LSb

VDD =5V → Rss = 2 kΩ

Temperature = 85°C (system max.)

EQUATION 19-1: ACQUISITION TIME

EQUATION 19-2: A/D MINIMUM CHARGING TIME

EQUATION 19-3: CALCULATING THE MINIMUM REQUIRED ACQUISITION TIME

Note: When the conversion is started, the

holding capacitor is disconnected from the

input pin.

19.2 Selecting and Configuring

Acquisition Time

The ADCON2 register allows the user to select an

acquisition time that occurs each time the GO/DONE

bit is set. It also gives users the option to use an

automatically determined acquisition time.

Acquisition time may be set with the ACQT2:ACQT0

bits (ADCON2<5:3>), which provides a range of 2 to

20 TAD. When the GO/DONE bit is set, the A/D module

continues to sample the input for the selected acquisi-

tion time, then automatically begins a conversion.

Since the acquisition time is programmed, there may

be no need to wait for an acquisition time between

selecting a channel and setting the GO/DONE bit.

Manual acquisition is selected when

ACQT2:ACQT0 = 000. When the GO/DONE bit is set,

sampling is stopped and a conversion begins. The user

is responsible for ensuring the required acquisition time

has passed between selecting the desired input

channel and setting the GO/DONE bit. This option is

also the default Reset state of the ACQT2:ACQT0 bits

and is compatible with devices that do not offer

programmable acquisition times.

In either case, when the conversion is completed, the

GO/DONE bit is cleared, the ADIF flag is set and the

A/D begins sampling the currently selected channel

again. If an acquisition time is programmed, there is

nothing to indicate if the acquisition time has ended or

if the conversion has begun.

19.3 Selecting the A/D Conversion

Clock

The A/D conversion time per bit is defined as TAD. The

A/D conversion requires 11 TAD per 10-bit conversion.

The source of the A/D conversion clock is software

selectable. There are seven possible options for T

AD:

•2 T

OSC

•4 TOSC

•8 TOSC

•16 TOSC

•32 TOSC

•64 TOSC

• 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 for more

information).

Table 19-1 shows the resultant T

AD times derived from

the device operating frequencies and the A/D clock

source selected.

Note 1: The RC source has a typical TAD time of 1.2 μs.

2: The RC source has a typical TAD time of 2.5 μs.

3: For device frequencies above 1 MHz, the device must be in Sleep for the entire conversion or the A/D

accuracy may be out of specification.

4: Low-power (PIC18LFXXXX) devices only.

PIC18F2525/2620/4525/4620

19.4 Operation in Power-Managed

Modes

The selection of the automatic acquisition time and A/D

conversion clock is determined in part by the clock

source and frequency while in a power-managed mode.

If the A/D is expected to operate while the device is in

a power-managed mode, the ACQT2:ACQT0 and

ADCS2:ADCS0 bits in ADCON2 should be updated in

accordance with the clock source to be used in that

mode. After entering the mode, an A/D acquisition or

conversion may be started. Once started, the device

should continue to be clocked by the same clock

source until the conversion has been completed.

If desired, the device may be placed into the

corresponding Idle mode during the conversion. If the

device 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 FRC

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

bit (OSCCON<7>) must have already been cleared

prior to starting the conversion.

19.5 Configuring Analog Port Pins

The ADCON1, TRISA, TRISB and TRISE registers all

configure the A/D port pins. The port pins needed as

analog inputs must have their corresponding TRIS bits

set (input). If the TRIS bit is 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: When reading the PORT register, all pins

configured as analog input channels will

read as cleared (a low level). Pins

configured as digital inputs will convert as

analog inputs. 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.

3: The PBADEN bit in Configuration

reset as analog or digital pins by control-

ling how the PCFG<3:0> bits in ADCON1

are reset.

PIC18F2525/2620/4525/4620

19.6 A/D Conversions

Figure 19-4 shows the operation of the A/D converter

after the GO/DONE bit has been set and the

ACQT2:ACQT0 bits are cleared. A conversion is

started after the following instruction to allow entry into

Sleep mode before the conversion begins.

Figure 19-5 shows the operation of the A/D converter

after the GO/DONE bit has been set and the

ACQT2:ACQT0 bits are set to ‘010’ and selecting a 4

TAD acquisition time before the conversion starts.

Clearing the GO/DONE bit during a conversion will abort

the current conversion. The A/D Result register pair will

NOT be updated with the partially completed A/D

conversion sample. This means the ADRESH:ADRESL

registers will continue to contain the value of the last

completed conversion (or the last value written to the

ADRESH:ADRESL registers).

After the A/D conversion is completed or aborted, a

AD wait is required before the next acquisition can be

started. After this wait, acquisition on the selected

channel is automatically started.

19.7 Discharge

The discharge phase is used to initialize the value of

the capacitor array. The array is discharged before

every sample. This feature helps to optimize the unity-

gain amplifier, as the circuit always needs to charge the

capacitor array, rather than charge/discharge based on

previous measure values.

19.8 Use of the CCP2 Trigger

An A/D conversion can be started by the Special Event

Trigger of the CCP2 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 automat-

ically repeat the A/D acquisition period with minimal

software overhead (moving ADRESH:ADRESL to the

desired location). The appropriate analog input

channel must be selected and the minimum acquisition

period is either timed by the user, or an appropriate

ACQ time 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.

20.0 COMPARATOR MODULE

The analog comparator module contains two

comparators that can be configured in a variety of

ways. The inputs can be selected from the analog

inputs multiplexed with pins RA0 through RA5, as well

as the on-chip voltage reference (see Section 21.0

“Comparator Voltage Reference Module”). The digi-

tal outputs (normal or inverted) are available at the pin

level and can also be read through the control register.

The CMCON register (Register 20-1) selects the

comparator input and output configuration. Block

diagrams of the various comparator configurations are

shown in Figure 20-1.

20.1 Comparator Configuration

There are eight modes of operation for the compara-

tors, shown in Figure 20-1. Bits, CM2:CM0 of the

CMCON register, are used to select these modes. The

TRISA register controls the data direction of the com-

parator pins for each mode. If the Comparator mode is

changed, the comparator output level may not be valid

for the specified mode change delay shown in

Section 26.0 “Electrical Characteristics”.

20.2 Comparator Operation

A single comparator is shown in Figure 20-2, along with

the relationship between the analog input levels and

the 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 20-2 represent

the uncertainty, due to input offsets and response time.

20.3 Comparator Reference

Depending on the comparator operating mode, either

an external or internal voltage reference may be used.

The analog signal present at VIN- is compared to the

signal at VIN+ and the digital output of the comparator

is adjusted accordingly (Figure 20-2).

FIGURE 20-2: SINGLE COMPARATOR

20.3.1 EXTERNAL REFERENCE SIGNAL

When external voltage references are used, the

comparator module can be configured to have the

comparators operate from the same or different

reference sources. However, threshold detector

applications may require the same reference. The

reference signal must be between VSS and VDD and

can be applied to either pin of the comparator(s).

20.3.2 INTERNAL REFERENCE SIGNAL

The comparator module also allows the selection of an

internally generated voltage reference from the

comparator voltage reference module. This module is

described in more detail in Section 21.0 “Comparator

Voltage Reference Module”.

The internal reference is only available in the mode

where four inputs are multiplexed to two comparators

(CM2:CM0 = 110). In this mode, the internal voltage

reference is applied to the VIN+ pin of both

comparators.

20.4 Comparator Response Time

Response time is the minimum time, after selecting a

new reference voltage or input source, before the

comparator output has a valid level. If the internal ref-

erence is changed, the maximum delay of the internal

voltage reference must be considered when using the

comparator outputs. Otherwise, the maximum delay of

the comparators should be used (see Section 26.0

“Electrical Characteristics”).

20.5 Comparator Outputs

The comparator outputs are read through the CMCON

outputs may also be directly output to the RA4 and RA5

I/O pins. When enabled, multiplexors in the output path

of the RA4 and RA5 pins will switch and the output of

each pin will be the unsynchronized output of the

comparator. The uncertainty of each of the

comparators is related to the input offset voltage and

the response time given in the specifications.

Figure 20-3 shows the comparator output block

diagram.

The TRISA bits will still function as an output enable/

disable for the RA4 and RA5 pins while in this mode.

The polarity of the comparator outputs can be changed

using the C2INV and C1INV bits (CMCON<5:4>).

Note 1: When reading the PORT register, all pins

configured as analog inputs will read as a

‘0’. Pins configured as digital inputs will

convert an analog input according to the

Schmitt Trigger input specification.

2: Analog levels on any pin defined as a

digital input may cause the input buffer to

consume more current than is specified.

PIC18F2525/2620/4525/4620

FIGURE 20-3: COMPARATOR OUTPUT BLOCK DIAGRAM

20.6 Comparator Interrupts

The comparator interrupt flag is set whenever there is

a change in the output value of either comparator.

Software will need to maintain information about the

status of the output bits, as read from CMCON<7:6>, to

determine the actual change that occurred. The CMIF

bit (PIR2<6>) is the Comparator Interrupt Flag. The

CMIF bit must be reset by clearing it. Since it is also

possible to write a ‘1’ to this register, a simulated

interrupt may be initiated.

Both the CMIE bit (PIE2<6>) and the PEIE bit

(INTCON<6>) must be set to enable the interrupt. In

addition, the GIE bit (INTCON<7>) must also be set. If

any of these bits are clear, the interrupt is not enabled,

though the CMIF bit will still be set if an interrupt

condition occurs.

The user, in the Interrupt Service Routine, can clear the

interrupt in the following manner:

a) Any read or write of CMCON will end the

mismatch condition.

b) Clear flag bit CMIF.

A mismatch condition will continue to set flag bit CMIF.

Reading CMCON will end the mismatch condition and

allow flag bit CMIF to be cleared.

20.7 Comparator Operation

During Sleep

When a comparator is active and the device is placed

in Sleep mode, the comparator remains active and the

interrupt is functional if enabled. This interrupt will

wake-up the device from Sleep mode, when enabled.

Each operational comparator will consume additional

current, as shown in the comparator specifications. To

minimize power consumption while in Sleep mode, turn

off the comparators (CM2:CM0 = 111) before entering

Sleep. If the device wakes up from Sleep, the contents

of the CMCON register are not affected.

20.8 Effects of a Reset

A device Reset forces the CMCON register to its Reset

state, causing the comparator modules to be turned off

(CM2:CM0 = 111). However, the input pins (RA0

through RA3) are configured as analog inputs by

default on device Reset. The I/O configuration for these

pins is determined by the setting of the PCFG3:PCFG0

bits (ADCON1<3:0>). Therefore, device current is

minimized when analog inputs are present at Reset

time.

PIC18F2525/2620/4525/4620

20.9 Analog Input Connection

Considerations

A simplified circuit for an analog input is shown in

Figure 20-4. Since the analog pins are connected to a

digital output, they have reverse biased diodes to VDD

and VSS. 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.

21.0 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 21-1.

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.

21.1 Configuring the Comparator

Voltage Reference

The voltage reference module is controlled through the

CVRCON register (Register 21-1). The comparator

voltage reference provides two ranges of output

voltage, each with 16 distinct levels. The range to be

used is selected by the CVRR bit (CVRCON<5>). The

primary 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 x 1/4) + (((CVR3:CVR0)/32) x

CVRSRC)

The comparator reference supply voltage can come

from either VDD and VSS, or the external VREF+ and

VREF- that are multiplexed with RA2 and RA3. The

voltage source is selected by the CVRSS bit

(CVRCON<4>).

The settling time of the comparator voltage reference

must be considered when changing the CVREF

output (see Table 26-3 in Section 26.0 “Electrical

Characteristics”).

21.2 Voltage Reference Accuracy/Error

The full range of voltage reference cannot be realized

due to the construction of the module. The transistors

on the top and bottom of the resistor ladder network

(Figure 21-1) keep CVREF from approaching the

reference 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 26.0 “Electrical Characteristics”.

21.3 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.

21.4 Effects of a Reset

A device Reset disables the voltage reference by

clearing bit, CVREN (CVRCON<7>). This Reset also

disconnects the reference from the RA2 pin by clearing

bit, CVROE (CVRCON<6>) and selects the high-voltage

range by clearing bit, CVRR (CVRCON<5>). The CVR

value select bits are also cleared.

21.5 Connection Considerations

The voltage reference module operates independently

of the comparator module. The output of the reference

generator may be connected to the RA2 pin if the

CVROE bit is set. Enabling the voltage reference

output onto RA2 when it is configured as a digital input

will increase current consumption. Connecting RA2 as

a digital output with CVRSS enabled will also increase

current consumption.

The RA2 pin can be used as a simple D/A output with

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 21-2 shows an example buffering technique.

22.0 HIGH/LOW-VOLTAGE DETECT

(HLVD)

PIC18F2525/2620/4525/4620 devices have a

High/Low-Voltage Detect module (HLVD). This is a

programmable circuit that allows the user to specify

both a device voltage trip point and the direction of

change from that point. If the device experiences an

excursion past the trip point in that direction, an inter-

rupt flag is set. If the interrupt is enabled, the program

execution will branch to the interrupt vector address

and the software can then respond to the interrupt.

The High/Low-Voltage Detect Control register

(Register 22-1) completely controls the operation of the

HLVD module. This allows the circuitry to be “turned

off” by the user under software control, which

minimizes the current consumption for the device.

The block diagram for the HLVD module is shown in

Figure 22-1.

The module is enabled by setting the HLVDEN bit.

Each time that the HLVD module is enabled, the

circuitry requires some time to stabilize. The IRVST bit

is a read-only bit and is used to indicate when the circuit

is stable. The module can only generate an interrupt

after the circuit is stable and IRVST is set.

The VDIRMAG bit determines the overall operation of

the module. When VDIRMAG is cleared, the module

monitors for drops in VDD below a predetermined set

point. When the bit is set, the module monitors for rises

in VDD above the set point.

PIC18F2525/2620/4525/4620

22.1 Operation

When the HLVD module is enabled, a comparator uses

an internally generated reference voltage as the set

point. The set point is compared with the trip point,

where each node in the resistor divider represents a

trip point voltage. The “trip point” voltage is the voltage

level at which the device detects a high or low-voltage

event, depending on the configuration of the module.

When the supply voltage is equal to the trip point, the

voltage tapped off of the resistor array is equal to the

internal reference voltage generated by the voltage

reference module. The comparator then generates an

interrupt signal by setting the HLVDIF bit.

The trip point voltage is software programmable to any one

of 16 values. The trip point is selected by programming the

HLVDL3:HLVDL0 bits (HLVDCON<3:0>).

The HLVD module has an additional feature that allows

the user to supply the trip voltage to the module from an

external source. This mode is enabled when bits

HLVDL3:HLVDL0 are set to ‘1111’. In this state, the

comparator input is multiplexed from the external input

pin, HLVDIN. This gives users flexibility because it

allows them to configure the High/Low-Voltage Detect

interrupt to occur at any voltage in the valid operating

range.

22.2 HLVD Setup

The following steps are needed to set up the HLVD

module:

1. Disable the module by clearing the HLVDEN bit

(HLVDCON<4>).

2. Write the value to the HLVDL3:HLVDL0 bits that

selects the desired HLVD trip point.

3. Set the VDIRMAG bit to detect high voltage

(VDIRMAG = 1) or low voltage (VDIRMAG = 0).

4. Enable the HLVD module by setting the

HLVDEN bit.

5. Clear the HLVD interrupt flag (PIR2<2>), which

may have been set from a previous interrupt.

6. Enable the HLVD interrupt if interrupts are

desired by setting the HLVDIE and GIE bits

(PIE<2> and INTCON<7>). An interrupt will not

be generated until the IRVST bit is set.

22.3 Current Consumption

When the module is enabled, the HLVD comparator

and voltage divider are enabled and will consume static

current. The total current consumption, when enabled,

is specified in electrical specification parameter D022B.

Depending on the application, the HLVD module does

not need to be operating constantly. To decrease the

current requirements, the HLVD circuitry may only

need to be enabled for short periods where the voltage

is checked. After doing the check, the HLVD module

may be disabled.

22.4 HLVD Start-up Time

The internal reference voltage of the HLVD module,

specified in electrical specification parameter D420,

may be used by other internal circuitry, such as the

Programmable Brown-out Reset. If the HLVD or other

circuits using the voltage reference are disabled to

lower the device’s current consumption, the reference

voltage circuit will require time to become stable before

a low or high-voltage condition can be reliably

detected. This start-up time, TIRVST, is an interval that

is independent of device clock speed. It is specified in

electrical specification parameter 36.

The HLVD interrupt flag is not enabled until TIRVST has

expired and a stable reference voltage is reached. For

this reason, brief excursions beyond the set point may

not be detected during this interval. Refer to

Figure 22-2 or Figure 22-3.

22.5 Applications

In many applications, the ability to detect a drop below

or rise above a particular threshold is desirable. For

example, the HLVD module could be periodically

enabled to detect a Universal Serial Bus (USB) attach

or detach. This assumes the device is powered by a

lower voltage source than the USB when detached. An

attach would indicate a high-voltage detect from, for

example, 3.3V to 5V (the voltage on USB) and vice

versa for a detach. This feature could save a design a

few extra components and an attach signal (input pin).

For general battery applications, Figure 22-4 shows a

possible voltage curve. Over time, the device voltage

decreases. When the device voltage reaches voltage

VA, the HLVD logic generates an interrupt at time TA.

The interrupt could cause the execution of an ISR,

which would allow the application to perform “house-

keeping tasks” and perform a controlled shutdown

before the device voltage exits the valid operating

range at TB. The HLVD, thus, would give the applica-

tion a time window, represented by the difference

between T

A and TB, to safely exit.

22.6 Operation During Sleep

When enabled, the HLVD circuitry continues to operate

during Sleep. If the device voltage crosses the trip

point, the HLVDIF bit will be set and the device will

wake-up from Sleep. Device execution will continue

from the interrupt vector address if interrupts have

been globally enabled.

22.7 Effects of a Reset

A device Reset forces all registers to their Reset state.

This forces the HLVD module to be turned off.

23.0 SPECIAL FEATURES OF

THE CPU

PIC18F2525/2620/4525/4620 devices include several

features intended to maximize reliability and minimize

cost through elimination of external components.

These are:

• Oscillator Selection

• Resets:

- Power-on Reset (POR)

- Power-up Timer (PWRT)

- Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST)

- Brown-out Reset (BOR)

• Interrupts

• Watchdog Timer (WDT)

• Fail-Safe Clock Monitor

• Two-Speed Start-up

• Code Protection

• ID Locations

• In-Circuit Serial Programming

The oscillator can be configured for the application

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, PIC18F2525/2620/4525/

4620 devices have a Watchdog Timer, which is either

permanently enabled via the Configuration bits or

software controlled (if configured as disabled).

The 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.

23.1 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.

The user will note that address 300000h is beyond the

user program memory space. In fact, it belongs to the

configuration memory space (300000h-3FFFFFh), which

can only be accessed using table reads and table writes.

Programming the Configuration registers is done in a

manner similar to programming the Flash memory. The

WR bit in the EECON1 register starts a self-timed write

to the Configuration register. In normal operation mode,

a TBLWT instruction, with the TBLPTR pointing to the

Configuration register, sets up the address and the

data for the Configuration register write. Setting the WR

bit starts a long write to the Configuration register. The

Configuration registers are written a byte at a time. To

write or erase a configuration cell, a TBLWT instruction

can write a ‘1’ or a ‘0’ into the cell. For additional details

on Flash programming, refer to Section 7.5 “Writing

to Flash Program Memory”.

23.2 Watchdog Timer (WDT)

For PIC18F2525/2620/4525/4620 devices, the WDT is

driven by the INTRC source. 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 multiplexer, controlled by bits in Configu-

ration Register 2H. Available periods range from 4 ms

to 131.072 seconds (2.18 minutes). The WDT and

postscaler are cleared when any of the following events

occur: a SLEEP or CLRWDT instruction is executed, the

IRCF bits (OSCCON<6:4>) are changed or a clock

failure has occurred.

23.2.1 CONTROL REGISTER

bit that allows software to override the WDT enable

PIC18F2525/2620/4525/4620

23.3 Two-Speed Start-up

The Two-Speed Start-up feature helps to minimize the

latency period from oscillator start-up to code execution

by allowing the microcontroller to use the INTOSC

oscillator as a clock source until the primary clock

source is available. It is enabled by setting the IESO

Configuration bit.

Two-Speed Start-up should be enabled only if the

primary oscillator mode is LP, XT, HS or HSPLL

(Crystal-Based modes). Other sources do not require

an OST start-up delay; for these, Two-Speed Start-up

should be disabled.

When enabled, Resets and wake-ups from Sleep mode

cause the device to configure itself to run from the

internal oscillator block as the clock source, following

the time-out of the Power-up Timer after a Power-on

Reset is enabled. This allows almost immediate code

execution while the primary oscillator starts and the

OST is running. Once the OST times out, the device

automatically switches to PRI_RUN mode.

To use a higher clock speed on wake-up, the INTOSC

or postscaler clock sources can be selected to provide

a higher clock speed by setting bits, IRCF2:IRCF0,

immediately after Reset. For wake-ups from Sleep, the

INTOSC or postscaler clock sources can be selected

by setting the IRCF2:IRCF0 bits prior to entering Sleep

mode.

In all other power-managed modes, Two-Speed Start-

up is not used. The device will be clocked by the

currently selected clock source until the primary clock

source becomes available. The setting of the IESO bit

is ignored.

23.3.1 SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR

USING TWO-SPEED START-UP

While using the INTOSC oscillator in Two-Speed Start-

up, the device still obeys the normal command

sequences for entering power-managed modes,

including multiple SLEEP instructions (refer to

Section 3.1.4 “Multiple Sleep Commands”). In

practice, this means that user code can change the

SCS1:SCS0 bit settings or issue SLEEP instructions

before the OST 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.

23.4 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 Configura-

tion 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 23-3) is accomplished by

creating a sample clock signal, which is the INTRC

output 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 latch

(CM). The CM is set on the falling edge of the device

clock source, but cleared on the rising edge of the

sample clock.

FIGURE 23-3: FSCM BLOCK DIAGRAM

Clock failure is tested for on the falling edge of the

sample clock. If a sample clock falling edge occurs

while CM is still set, a clock failure has been detected

(Figure 23-4). This causes the following:

• the FSCM generates an oscillator fail interrupt by

setting bit, OSCFIF (PIR2<7>);

• the device clock source is switched to the internal

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 23.3.1 “Special

Considerations for Using Two-Speed Start-up” for

more details.

To use a higher clock speed on wake-up, the INTOSC

or postscaler clock sources can be selected to provide

a higher clock speed by setting bits, IRCF2:IRCF0,

immediately after Reset. For wake-ups from Sleep, the

INTOSC or postscaler clock sources can be selected

by setting the IRCF2:IRCF0 bits prior to entering Sleep

mode.

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.

23.4.1 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

INTOSC clock when a clock failure is detected.

Depending on the frequency selected by the

IRCF2:IRCF0 bits, this may mean a substantial change

in the speed of code execution. If the WDT is enabled

with a small prescale 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 execution speed was changed and

decreasing the likelihood of an erroneous time-out.

23.4.2 EXITING FAIL-SAFE OPERATION

The fail-safe condition is terminated by either a device

Reset or by entering a power-managed mode. On

Reset, the controller starts the primary clock source

specified in Configuration Register 1H (with any

required start-up delays that are required for the

oscillator mode, such as OST or PLL timer). The

INTOSC multiplexer 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

INTOSC multiplexer. The OSCCON register will remain

in its Reset state until a power-managed mode is

entered.

23.4.3 FSCM INTERRUPTS IN

POWER-MANAGED MODES

By entering a power-managed mode, the clock

multiplexer selects the clock source selected by the

OSCCON register. Fail-Safe Monitoring of the power-

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 INTOSC multiplexer. An automatic transition

back to the failed clock source will not occur.

If the interrupt is disabled, subsequent interrupts while

in Idle mode will cause the CPU to begin executing

instructions while being clocked by the INTOSC

source.

23.4.4 POR OR WAKE FROM 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 EC, RC or INTRC modes, monitoring

can begin immediately following these events.

For oscillator modes involving a crystal or resonator

(HS, HSPLL, LP or XT), the situation is somewhat

different. Since the oscillator may require a start-up

time considerably longer than the FCSM sample clock

time, a false clock failure may be detected. To prevent

this, the internal 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 23.3.1 “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 oscilla-

tor failure interrupts on POR, or wake from

Sleep, will also prevent the detection of

the oscillator’s failure to start at all follow-

ing these events. This can be avoided by

monitoring the OSTS bit and using a

timing routine to determine if the oscillator

is taking too long to start. Even so, no

oscillator failure interrupt will be flagged.

23.5 Program Verification and

Code Protection

The overall structure of the code protection on the

PIC18 Flash devices differs significantly from other

PIC® devices.

The user program memory is divided into five blocks.

One of these is a boot block of 2 Kbytes. The remainder

of the memory is divided into four blocks on binary

boundaries.

Each of the five blocks has three code protection bits

associated with them. They are:

• Code-Protect bit (CPn)

• Write-Protect bit (WRTn)

• External Block Table Read bit (EBTRn)

Figure 23-5 shows the program memory organization

for 48 and 64-Kbyte devices and the specific code

protection bit associated with each block. The actual

locations of the bits are summarized in Table 23-3.

23.5.1 PROGRAM MEMORY

CODE PROTECTION

The program memory may be read to or written from

any location using the table read and table write

instructions. The device ID may be read with table

reads. The Configuration registers may be read and

written with the table read and table write instructions.

In normal execution mode, the CPx bits have no direct

effect. CPx bits inhibit external reads and writes. A

block of user memory may be protected from table

writes if the WRTx Configuration bit is ‘0’. The EBTRx

bits control table reads. For a block of user memory

with the EBTRx bit set to ‘0’, a table read instruction

that executes from within that block is allowed to read.

A table read instruction that executes from a location

outside of that block is not allowed to read and will result

in reading ‘0’s. Figures 23-6 through 23-8 illustrate table

write and table read protection.

FIGURE 23-6: TABLE WRITE (WRTx) DISALLOWED

Note: Code protection bits may only be written to

a ‘0’ from a ‘1’ state. It is not possible to

write a ‘1’ to a bit in the ‘0’ state. Code

protection bits are only set to ‘1’ by a full

chip erase or block erase function. The full

chip erase and block erase functions can

only be initiated via ICSP operation or an

external programmer.

23.5.2 DATA EEPROM

CODE PROTECTION

The entire data EEPROM is protected from external

reads and writes by two bits: CPD and WRTD. CPD

inhibits external reads and writes of data EEPROM.

WRTD inhibits internal and external writes to data

EEPROM. The CPU can always read data EEPROM

under normal operation, regardless of the protection bit

settings.

23.5.3 CONFIGURATION REGISTER

PROTECTION

The Configuration registers can be write-protected.

The WRTC bit controls protection of the Configuration

registers. In normal execution mode, the WRTC bit is

readable only. WRTC can only be written via ICSP

operation or an external programmer.

23.6 ID Locations

Eight memory locations (200000h-200007h) are

designated as ID locations, where the user can store

checksum or other code identification numbers. These

locations are both readable and writable during normal

execution through the TBLRD and TBLWT instructions

or during program/verify. The ID locations can be read

when the device is code-protected.

23.7 In-Circuit Serial Programming

PIC18F2525/2620/4525/4620 microcontrollers can be

serially programmed while in the end application circuit.

This is simply done with two lines for clock and data

and three other lines for power, ground and the

programming voltage. This allows customers to

manufacture boards with unprogrammed devices and

then program the microcontroller just before shipping

the product. This also allows the most recent firmware

or a custom firmware to be programmed.

23.8 In-Circuit Debugger

When the DEBUG Configuration bit is programmed to

a ‘0’, the In-Circuit Debugger functionality is enabled.

This 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 23-4 shows which resources are

required by the background debugger.

TABLE 23-4: DEBUGGER RESOURCES

To use the In-Circuit Debugger function of the micro-

controller, the design must implement In-Circuit Serial

Programming connections to MCLR/VPP/RE3, VDD,

VSS, RB7 and RB6. This will interface to the In-Circuit

Debugger module available from Microchip or one of

the third party development tool companies.

23.9 Single-Supply ICSP Programming

The LVP Configuration bit enables Single-Supply ICSP

Programming (formerly known as Low-Voltage ICSP

Programming or LVP). When Single-Supply Program-

ming is enabled, the microcontroller can be programmed

without requiring high voltage being applied to the

MCLR/VPP/RE3 pin, but the RB5/KBI1/PGM pin is then

dedicated to controlling Program mode entry and is not

available as a general purpose I/O pin.

While programming, using Single-Supply Program-

ming, VDD is applied to the MCLR/VPP/RE3 pin as in

normal execution mode. To enter Programming mode,

VDD is applied to the PGM pin.

If Single-Supply ICSP Programming mode will not be

used, the LVP bit can be cleared. RB5/KBI1/PGM then

becomes available as the digital I/O pin, RB5. The LVP

bit may be set or cleared only when using standard

high-voltage programming (VIHH applied to the MCLR/

VPP/RE3 pin). Once LVP has been disabled, only the

standard high-voltage programming is available and

must be used to program the device.

Memory that is not code-protected can be erased using

either a block erase, or erased row by row, then written

at any specified VDD. If code-protected memory is to be

erased, a block erase is required. If a block erase is to

be performed when using Low-Voltage Programming,

the device must be supplied with VDD of 4.5V to 5.5V.

I/O pins: RB6, RB7

Stack: 2 levels

Program Memory: 512 bytes

Data Memory: 10 bytes

Note 1: High-voltage programming is always

available, regardless of the state of the

LVP bit or the PGM pin, by applying VIHH

to the MCLR pin.

2: By default, Single-Supply ICSP Program-

ming is enabled in unprogrammed

devices (as supplied from Microchip) and

erased devices.

3: When Single-Supply Programming is

enabled, the RB5 pin can no longer be

used as a general purpose I/O pin.

4: When LVP is enabled, externally pull the

PGM pin to VSS to allow normal program

execution.

PIC18F2525/2620/4525/4620

24.0 INSTRUCTION SET SUMMARY

PIC18F2525/2620/4525/4620 devices incorporate the

standard set of 75 PIC18 core instructions, as well as an

extended set of 8 new instructions, for the optimization

of code that is recursive or that utilizes a software stack.

The extended set is discussed later in this section.

24.1 Standard Instruction Set

The standard PIC18 instruction set adds many

enhancements to the previous PIC® MCU instruction

sets, while maintaining an easy migration from these

PIC MCU instruction sets. Most instructions are a

single program memory word (16 bits), but there are

four instructions that require two program memory

locations.

Each single-word instruction is a 16-bit word divided

into an 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 24-2 lists

byte-oriented, bit-oriented, literal and control

operations. Table 24-1 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

designator ‘d’ specifies where the result of the opera-

tion is to be placed. If ‘d’ is zero, the result is placed in

the WREG register. If ‘d’ is one, the result is placed in

the file register specified in the instruction.

All bit-oriented instructions have three operands:

1. The file register (specified by ‘f’)

2. The bit in the file register (specified by ‘b’)

3. The accessed memory (specified by ‘a’)

The bit field designator ‘b’ selects the number of the bit

affected by the operation, while the file register

designator ‘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 24-1 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 24-2, lists

the standard instructions recognized by the Microchip

MPASM™ Assembler.

Section 24.1.1 “Standard Instruction Set” provides

a description of each instruction.

Note 1: When a PORT register is modified as a function of itself (e.g., MOVF PORTB, 1, 0), the value used will be that value

present on the pins themselves. For example, if the data latch is ‘1’ for a pin configured as input and is driven low by an

external device, the data will be written back with a ‘0’.

2: If this instruction is executed on the TMR0 register (and where applicable, ‘d’ = 1), the prescaler will be cleared if

assigned.

3: If the Program Counter (PC) is modified or a conditional test is true, the instruction requires two cycles. The second

cycle is executed as a NOP.

4: Some instructions are two-word instructions. The second word of these instructions will be executed as a NOP unless the

first word of the instruction retrieves the information embedded in these 16 bits. This ensures that all program memory

locations have a valid instruction.

24.2 Extended Instruction Set

In addition to the standard 75 instructions of the PIC18

instruction set, PIC18F2525/2620/4525/4620 devices

also provide an optional extension to the core CPU

functionality. The added features include eight

additional instructions that augment indirect and

indexed addressing operations and the implementation

of Indexed Literal Offset Addressing mode for many of

the standard PIC18 instructions.

The additional features of the extended instruction set

are disabled by default. To enable them, users must set

the XINST Configuration bit.

The instructions in the extended set (with the exception

of CALLW, MOVSF and MOVSS) can all be classified as

literal operations, which either manipulate the File

Select Registers, or use them for Indexed Addressing.

Two of the instructions, ADDFSR and SUBFSR, each

have 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 instruction

set is provided in Table 24-3. Detailed descriptions are

provided in Section 24.2.2 “Extended Instruction

Set”. The opcode field descriptions in Table 24-1

(page 268) apply to both the standard and extended

PIC18 instruction sets.

24.2.1 EXTENDED INSTRUCTION SYNTAX

Most of the extended instructions use indexed

arguments, using one of the File Select Registers and

some offset to specify a source or destination register.

When an argument for an instruction serves as part of

indexed addressing, it is enclosed in square brackets

(“[ ]”). This is done to 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 24.2.3.1 “Extended Instruction Syntax with

Standard PIC18 Commands”.

TABLE 24-3: EXTENSIONS TO THE PIC18 INSTRUCTION SET

Note: The instruction set extension and the

Indexed Literal Offset Addressing mode

were designed for optimizing applications

written in C; the user may likely never use

these instructions directly in assembler.

The syntax for these commands is

provided as a reference for users who may

be reviewing code that has been

generated by a compiler.

Note: In the past, square brackets have been

used to denote optional arguments in the

PIC18 and earlier instruction sets. In this

text and going forward, optional

arguments are denoted by braces (“{ }”).

PIC18F2525/2620/4525/4620

24.2.3 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 mode (Section 5.5.1

“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

instructions – may behave differently when the

extended instruction set is enabled.

When the content of FSR2 is 00h, the boundaries of the

Access RAM are essentially remapped to their original

values. This may be useful in creating backward

compatible code. If this technique is used, it may be

necessary to save the value of FSR2 and restore it

when moving back and forth between C and assembly

routines in order to preserve the Stack Pointer. Users

must also keep in mind the syntax requirements of the

extended instruction set (see Section 24.2.3.1

“Extended Instruction Syntax with Standard PIC18

Commands”).

Although the Indexed Literal Offset Addressing mode

can be very useful for dynamic stack and pointer

manipulation, it can also be very annoying if a simple

arithmetic operation is carried out on the wrong

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 mode.

Representative examples of typical byte-oriented and

bit-oriented instructions in the Indexed Literal Offset

Addressing 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.

24.2.3.1 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 brackets, will generate an

error in the MPASM Assembler.

If the index argument is properly bracketed for Indexed

Literal Offset Addressing mode, the Access RAM

argument is never specified; it will automatically be

assumed to be ‘0’. This is in contrast to standard

operation (extended instruction set disabled) when ‘a’

is set on the basis of the target address. Declaring the

Access RAM 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.

24.2.4 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 PIC18F2525/2620/

4525/4620, 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

extension may cause legacy applications

to behave erratically or fail entirely.

24.2.5 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 of the PIC18F2525/2620/4525/4620 family of

devices. This includes the MPLAB C18 C compiler,

MPASM assembly language and MPLAB Integrated

Development Environment (IDE).

When selecting a target device for software

development, MPLAB IDE will automatically set default

Configuration bits for that device. The default setting for

the XINST Configuration bit is ‘0’, disabling the

extended instruction set and Indexed Literal Offset

Addressing mode. 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.

assembler to produce its object file. The assembler

generates relocatable object files that can then be

archived or linked with other relocatable object files and

archives to create an executable file. Notable features

of the assembler include:

• Support for the entire dsPIC30F instruction set

• Support for fixed-point and floating-point data

• Command line interface

• Rich directive set

• Flexible macro language

• MPLAB IDE compatibility

25.6 MPLAB SIM Software Simulator

latch-up. Thus, a series resistor of 50-100Ω should be used when applying a “low” level to the MCLR/VPP/

RE3 pin, rather than pulling this pin directly to VSS.

† NOTICE: Stresses above those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the

device. This is a stress rating only and functional operation of the device at those or any other conditions above those

indicated in the operation listings of this specification is not implied. Exposure to maximum rating conditions for

extended periods may affect device reliability.

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 or VSS;

MCLR = VDD; WDT enabled/disabled as specified.

3: Low-power Timer1 oscillator selected.

4: BOR and HLVD enable internal band gap reference. With both modules enabled, current consumption will be less

than the sum of both specifications.

Note 1: As a transmitter, the device must provide this internal minimum delay time to bridge the undefined region

(min. 300 ns) of the falling edge of SCL to avoid unintended generation of Start or Stop conditions.

2: A Fast mode I2C bus device can be used in a Standard mode I2C bus system, but the requirement

SU:DAT ≥250 ns must then be met. This will automatically be the case if the device does not stretch the

LOW period of the SCL signal. If such a device does stretch the LOW period of the SCL signal, it must

output the next data bit to the SDA line, TR max. + TSU:DAT = 1000 + 250 = 1250 ns (according to the

Standard mode I2C bus specification), before the SCL line is released.

D102 CBBus Capacitive Loading — 400 pF

Note 1: Maximum pin capacitance = 10 pF for all I2C pins.

2: A Fast mode I2C bus device can be used in a Standard mode I2C bus system, but parameter 107 ≥250 ns

must then be met. This will automatically be the case if the device does not stretch the LOW period of the

SCL signal. If such a device does stretch the LOW period of the SCL signal, it must output the next data bit

to the SDA line, parameter 102 + parameter 107 = 1000 + 250 = 1250 ns (for 100 kHz mode), before the

SCL line is released.
