2.0 GUIDELINES FOR GETTING
STARTED WITH
PIC16(L)F183XX
MICROCONTROLLERS
2.1 Basic Connection Requirements
Getting started with the PIC16(L)F183XX family of 8-bit
microcontrollers requires attention to a minimal set of
device pin connections before proceeding with
development.
The following pins must always be connected:
All VDD and VSS pins
(see Section 2.2 “Power Supply Pins”)
•MCLR
pin (when configured for external
operation)
(see Section 2.3 “Master Clear (MCLR) Pin”)
These pins must also be connected if they are being
used in the end application:
ICSPCLK/ICSPDAT pins used for In-Circuit Serial
Programming™ (ICSP™) and debugging
purposes (see Section 2.4 “ICSP™ Pins”)
OSC1 and OSC2 pins when an external oscillator
source is used
(see Section 2.5 “External Oscillator Pins”)
Additionally, the following pins may be required:
•V
REF+/VREF- pins are used when external voltage
reference for analog modules is implemented
The minimum mandatory connections are shown in
Figure 2-1.
FIGURE 2-1: RECOMMENDED
MINIMUM CONNECTIONS
2.2 Power Supply Pins
2.2.1 DECOUPLING CAPACITORS
The use of decoupling capacitors on every pair of
power supply pins (VDD and VSS) is required. All VDD
and VSS pins must be connected. None can be left
floating.
Consider the following criteria when using decoupling
capacitors:
Value and type of capacitor: A 0.1 µF (100 nF),
10-25V capacitor is recommended. The capacitor
should be a low-ESR device, with a resonance
frequency in the range of 200 MHz and higher.
Ceramic capacitors are recommended.
Placement on the printed circuit board: The
decoupling capacitors should be placed as close
to the pins as possible. It is recommended to
place the capacitors on the same side of the
board as the device. If space is constricted, the
capacitor can be placed on another layer on the
PCB using a via; however, ensure that the trace
length from the pin to the capacitor is no greater
than 0.25 inch (6 mm).
Handling high-frequency noise: If the board is
experiencing high-frequency noise (upward of
tens of MHz), add a second ceramic type
capacitor in parallel to the above described
decoupling capacitor. The value of the second
capacitor can be in the range of 0.01 µF to
0.001 µF. Place this second capacitor next to
each primary decoupling capacitor. In high-speed
circuit designs, consider implementing a decade
pair of capacitances as close to the power and
ground pins as possible (e.g., 0.1 µF in parallel
with 0.001 µF).
Maximizing performance: On the board layout
from the power supply circuit, run the power and
return traces to the decoupling capacitors first,
and then to the device pins. This ensures that the
decoupling capacitors are first in the power chain.
Equally important is to keep the trace length
between the capacitor and the power pins to a
minimum, thereby reducing PCB trace
inductance.
2.2.2 TANK CAPACITORS
On boards with power traces running longer than six
inches in length, it is suggested to use a tank capacitor
for integrated circuits, including microcontrollers, to
supply a local power source. The value of the tank
capacitor should be determined based on the trace
resistance that connects the power supply source to
the device, and the maximum current drawn by the
device in the application. In other words, select the tank
capacitor so that it meets the acceptable voltage sag at
the device. Typical values range from 4.7 µF to 47 µF.

2.3 Master Clear (MCLR) Pin
The MCLR pin provides three specific device functions:
Device Reset (when MCLRE = 1)
Digital input pin (when MCLRE = 0)
Device Programming and Debugging
If programming and debugging are not required in the
end application then either set the MCLRE
Configuration bit to ‘1’ and use the pin as a digital input
or clear the MCLRE Configuration bit and leave the pin
open to use the internal weak pull-up. The addition of
other components, to help increase the application’s
resistance to spurious Resets from voltage sags, may
be beneficial. A typical configuration is shown in
Figure 2-1. Other circuit designs may be implemented,
depending on the application’s requirements.
During programming and debugging, the resistance
and capacitance that can be added to the pin must be
considered. Device programmers and debuggers drive
the MCLR pin. Consequently, specific voltage levels
(VIH and VIL) and fast signal transitions must not be
adversely affected. Therefore, the programmer
MCLR/VPP output should be connected directly to the
pin so that R1 isolates the capacitor, C1 from the MCLR
pin during programming and debugging operations.
Any components associated with the MCLR pin should
be placed within 0.25 inch (6 mm) of the pin.
2.4 ICSP™ Pins
The ICSPCLK and ICSPDAT pins are used for
In-Circuit Serial Programming™ (ICSP™) and
debugging purposes. It is recommended to keep the
trace length between the ICSP connector and the ICSP
pins on the device as short as possible. If the ICSP
connector is expected to experience an ESD event, a
series resistor is recommended, with the value in the
range of a few tens of ohms, not to exceed 100.
Pull-up resistors, series diodes and capacitors on the
ICSPCLK and ICSPDAT pins are not recommended as
they will interfere with the programmer/debugger
communications to the device. If such discrete
components are an application requirement, they
should be isolated from the programmer by resistors
between the application and the device pins or
removed from the circuit during programming.
Alternatively, refer to the AC/DC characteristics and
timing requirements information in the respective
device Flash programming specification for information
on capacitive loading limits, and pin input voltage high
(VIH) and input low (VIL) requirements.
For device emulation, ensure that the “Communication
Channel Select” (i.e., ICSPCLK/ICSPDAT pins),
programmed into the device, matches the physical
connections for the ICSP to the Microchip debugger/
emulator tool.
For more information on available Microchip
development tools connection requirements, refer to
Section 37.0 “Development Support”.

2.5 External Oscillator Pins
Many microcontrollers have options for at least two
oscillators: a high-frequency primary oscillator and a
low-frequency secondary oscillator (refer to
Section 7.0 “Oscillator Module” for details).
The oscillator circuit should be placed on the same side
of the board as the device. Place the oscillator circuit
close to the respective oscillator pins with no more than
0.5 inch (12 mm) between the circuit components and
the pins. The load capacitors should be placed next to
the oscillator itself, on the same side of the board.
Use a grounded copper pour around the oscillator
circuit to isolate it from surrounding circuits. The
grounded copper pour should be routed directly to the
MCU ground. Do not run any signal traces or power
traces inside the ground pour. Also, if using a two-sided
board, avoid any traces on the other side of the board
where the crystal is placed.
Layout suggestions are shown in Figure 2-2. In-line s
may be handled with a single-sided layout that
completely encompasses the oscillator pins. With
fine-pitch s, it is not always possible to completely
surround the pins and components. A suitable solution
is to tie the broken guard sections to a mirrored ground
layer. In all cases, the guard trace(s) must be returned
to ground.
In planning the application’s routing and I/O
assignments, ensure that adjacent port pins, and other
signals in close proximity to the oscillator, are benign
(i.e., free of high frequencies, short rise and fall times,
and other similar noise).
For additional information and design guidance on
oscillator circuits, refer to these Microchip Application
Notes, available at the corporate website
(www.microchip.com):
AN826, “Crystal Oscillator Basics and Crystal
Selection for rfPIC™ and PICmicro® Devices”
AN849, “Basic PICmicro® Oscillator Design”
AN943, “Practical PICmicro® Oscillator Analysis
and Design”
AN949, “Making Your Oscillator Work”
2.6 Unused I/Os
Unused I/O pins should be configured as outputs and
driven to a logic low state. Alternatively, connect a 1 k
to 10 k resistor to VSS on unused pins and drive the
output logic low.

3.1 Automatic Interrupt Context
Saving
During interrupts, certain registers are automatically
saved in shadow registers and restored when returning
from the interrupt. This saves stack space and user
code. See Section 8.5 “Automatic Context Saving”
for more information.
3.2 16-Level Stack with Overflow and
Underflow
These devices have a hardware stack memory 15 bits
wide and 16 words deep. A Stack Overflow or
Underflow will set the appropriate bit (STKOVF or
STKUNF) in the PCON register, and if enabled, will
cause a software Reset. See Section 4.4 “Stack” for
more details.
3.3 File Select Registers
There are two 16-bit File Select Registers (FSR). FSRs
can access all file registers, program memory, and data
EEPROM, which allows one Data Pointer for all mem-
ory. When an FSR points to program memory, there is
one additional instruction cycle in instructions using
INDF to allow the data to be fetched. General purpose
memory can now also be addressed linearly, providing
the ability to access contiguous data larger than 80
bytes. There are also new instructions to support the
FSRs. See Section 4.5 “Indirect Addressing” for
more details.
3.4 Instruction Set
There are 48 instructions for the enhanced mid-range
CPU to support the features of the CPU. See
Section 34.0 “Instruction Set Summary” for more
details.

4.1 Program Memory Organization
The enhanced mid-range core has a 15-bit program
counter capable of addressing 32K x 14 program
memory space. Table 4-1 shows the memory sizes
implemented. Accessing a location above these
boundaries will cause a wrap-around within the
implemented memory space. The Reset vector is at
0000h and the interrupt vector is at 0004h (see
Figure 4-1).

4.1.1 READING PROGRAM MEMORY AS
DATA
There are three methods of accessing constants in
program memory. The first method is to use tables of
RETLW instructions. The second method is to set an
FSR to point to the program memory. The third method
is to use the NVMCON registers to access the program
memory.
4.1.1.1 RETLW Instruction
The RETLW instruction can be used to provide access
to tables of constants. The recommended way to create
such a table is shown in Example 4-1.
EXAMPLE 4-1: RETLW INSTRUCTION
The BRW instruction makes this type of table very
simple to implement. If your code must remain portable
with previous generations of microcontrollers, the
computed GOTO method must be used because the
BRW instruction is not available in some devices, such
as the PIC16F6XX, PIC16F7XX, PIC16F8XX, and
PIC16F9XX devices.

4.1.1.2 Indirect Read with FSR
The program memory can be accessed as data by
setting bit 7 of an FSRxH register and reading the
matching INDFx register. The MOVIW instruction will
place the lower eight bits of the addressed word in the
W register. Writes to the program memory cannot be
performed via the INDF registers. Instructions that read
the program memory via the FSR require one extra
instruction cycle to complete. Example 4-2
demonstrates accessing the program memory via an
FSR.
The HIGH directive will set bit 7 if a label points to a
location in the program memory.
EXAMPLE 4-2: ACCESSING PROGRAM
MEMORY VIA FSR
4.1.1.3 NVMREG Access
The NVMREG interface allows read/write access to all
locations accessible by the FSRs, User ID locations,
and EEPROM. The NVMREG interface also provides
read-only access to Device ID, Revision ID, and
Configuration data. See Section 11.4 “NVMREG
Access” for more information.
4.2 Data Memory Organization
The data memory is partitioned into 32 memory banks
with 128 bytes in each bank. Each bank consists of
(Figure 4-2):
12 core registers
Special Function Registers (SFR)
Up to 80 bytes of General Purpose RAM (GPR)
16 bytes of common RAM
4.2.1 BANK SELECTION
The active bank is selected by writing the bank number
into the Bank Select Register (BSR). Unimplemented
memory will read as ‘0’. All data memory can be
accessed either directly (via instructions that use the
file registers) or indirectly via the two File Select
Registers (FSR). See Section 4.5 “Indirect
Addressing” for more information.
Data memory uses a 12-bit address. The upper five bits
of the address define the Bank address and the lower
seven bits select the registers/RAM in that bank.
FIGURE 4-2: BANKED-MEMORY
PARTITIONING
4.2.2 CORE REGISTERS
The core registers contain the registers that directly
affect basic operation. The core registers occupy the
first 12 addresses of every data memory bank
(addresses x00h/x80h through x0Bh/x8Bh). These
registers are listed below in Table 4-2. For detailed
information, see Table 4-4.

4.2.2.1 STATUS Register
The STATUS register, shown in Register 4-1, contains:
The arithmetic status of the ALU
The Reset status
The STATUS register can be the destination for any
instruction, like any other register. If the STATUS
register is the destination for an instruction that affects
the Z, DC or C bits, then the write to these three bits is
disabled. These bits are set or cleared according to the
device logic. Furthermore, the TO and PD bits are not
writable. Therefore, the result of an instruction with the
STATUS register as destination may be different than
intended.
For example, CLRF STATUS will clear the upper three
bits and set the Z bit. This leaves the STATUS register
as ‘000u u1uu’ (where u = unchanged).
It is recommended, therefore, that only BCF, BSF,
SWAPF and MOVWF instructions are used to alter the
STATUS register, because these instructions do not
affect any Status bits. For other instructions not
affecting any Status bits (Refer to Section 4.0
“Memory Organization”).
Note 1: The C and DC bits operate as Borrow
and Digit Borrow out bits, respectively, in
subtraction.

Note 1: For Borrow, the polarity is reversed. A subtraction is executed by adding the two’s complement of the
second operand. For rotate (RRF, RLF) instructions, this bit is loaded with either the high-order or low-order
bit of the source register.

PIC16(L)F18326/18346
4.2.3 SPECIAL FUNCTION REGISTERS
The Special Function Registers are registers used by
the application to control the desired operation of
peripheral functions in the device. The Special Function
Registers occupy the 20 bytes after the core registers of
every data memory bank (addresses x0Ch/x8Ch
through x1Fh/x9Fh), with the exception of banks 27, 28,
and 29 (PPS and CLC registers). The registers
associated with the operation of the peripherals are
described in the appropriate peripheral chapter of this
data sheet.
4.2.4 GENERAL PURPOSE RAM
There are up to 80 bytes of GPR in each data memory
bank. The general purpose RAM can be accessed in a
non-banked method via the FSRs. This can simplify
access to large memory structures. See Section 4.5.2
“Linear Data Memory” for more information.
4.2.5 COMMON RAM
There are 16 bytes of common RAM accessible from all
banks.
4.2.6 DEVICE MEMORY MAPS

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

PIC16(L)F18326/18346
4.4 Stack
All devices have a 16-level x 15-bit wide hardware
stack (refer to Figure 4-4 through Figure 4-7). The
stack space is not part of either program or data space.
The PC is PUSHed onto the stack when CALL or
CALLW instructions are executed or an interrupt causes
a branch. The stack is POPed in the event of a
RETURN, RETLW or a RETFIE instruction execution.
PCLATH is not affected by a PUSH or POP operation.
The stack operates as a circular buffer and does not
cause a Reset when either a Stack Overflow or
Underflow occur if the STVREN bit is programmed to
0‘ (Configuration Words). This means that after the
stack has been PUSHed sixteen times, the
seventeenth PUSH overwrites the value that was
stored from the first PUSH. The eighteenth PUSH
overwrites the second PUSH (and so on). The
STKOVF and STKUNF flag bits will be set on an
Overflow/Underflow, regardless of whether the Reset is
enabled.
If the STVREN bit in Configuration Words is
programmed to ‘1’, the device will be Reset if the stack
is PUSHed beyond the sixteenth level or POPed
beyond the first level, setting the appropriate bits
(STKOVF or STKUNF, respectively) in the PCON
register.
4.4.1 ACCESSING THE STACK
The stack is accessible through the TOSH, TOSL and
STKPTR registers. STKPTR is the current value of the
Stack Pointer. TOSH:TOSL register pair points to the
TOP of the stack. Both registers are read/writable. TOS
is split into TOSH and TOSL due to the 15-bit size of the
PC. To access the stack, adjust the value of STKPTR,
which will position TOSH:TOSL, then read/write to
TOSH:TOSL. STKPTR is five bits to allow detection of
Overflow and Underflow.
During normal program operation, CALL, CALLW and
Interrupts will increment STKPTR while RETLW,
RETURN, and RETFIE will decrement STKPTR. At any
time, STKPTR can be read to see how much stack is
left. The STKPTR always points at the currently used
place on the stack. Therefore, a CALL or CALLW will
increment the STKPTR and then write the PC, and a
return will unload the PC and then decrement the
STKPTR.
Reference Figure 4-4 through Figure 4-7 for examples
of accessing the stack.
FIGURE 4-4: ACCESSING THE STACK EXAMPLE 1
Note 1: There are no instructions/mnemonics
called PUSH or POP. These are actions
that occur from the execution of the
CALL, CALLW, RETURN, RETLW and
RETFIE instructions or the vectoring to
an interrupt address.
Note: Care should be taken when modifying the
STKPTR while interrupts are enabled.

4.5 Indirect Addressing
The INDFn registers are not physical registers. Any
instruction that accesses an INDFn register actually
accesses the register at the address specified by the
File Select Registers (FSR). If the FSRn address
specifies one of the two INDFn registers, the read will
return ‘0’ and the write will not occur (though Status bits
may be affected). The FSRn register value is created
by the pair FSRnH and FSRnL.
The FSR registers form a 16-bit address that allows an
addressing space with 65536 locations. These locations
are divided into four memory regions:
Traditional/Banked Data Memory
Linear Data Memory
Program Flash Memory
EEPROM
4.5.1 TRADITIONAL/BANKED DATA
MEMORY
The traditional data memory is a region from FSR
address 0x000 to FSR address 0xFFF. The addresses
correspond to the absolute addresses of all SFR, GPR
and common registers.

4.5.2 LINEAR DATA MEMORY
The linear data memory is the region from FSR
address 0x2000 to FSR address 0x29AF. This region is
a virtual region that points back to the 80-byte blocks of
GPR memory in all the banks.
Unimplemented memory reads as 0x00. Use of the
linear data memory region allows buffers to be larger
than 80 bytes because incrementing the FSR beyond
one bank will go directly to the GPR memory of the next
bank.
The 16 bytes of common memory are not included in
the linear data memory region.
FIGURE 4-10: LINEAR DATA MEMORY
MAP
4.5.3 DATA EEPROM MEMORY
The EEPROM memory can be read or written through
the NVMCON register interface (see Section 11.2
“Data EEPROM”). However, to make access to the
EEPROM easier, read-only access to the EEPROM
contents are also available through indirect addressing
via an FSR. When the MSP of the FSR (ex: FSRxH) is
set to 0x70, the lower 8-bit address value (in FSRxL)
determines the EEPROM location that may be read via
the INDF register). In other words, the EEPROM
address range 0x00-0xFF is mapped into the FSR
address space between 0x7000 and 0x70FF. Writing to
the EEPROM cannot be accomplished via the
FSR/INDF interface. Reads from the EEPROM through
the FSR/INDF interface will require one additional
instruction cycle to complete.
4.5.4 PROGRAM FLASH MEMORY
To make constant data access easier, the entire
Program Flash Memory is mapped to the upper half of
the FSR address space. When the MSB of FSRnH is
set, the lower 15 bits are the address in program
memory which will be accessed through INDF. Only the
lower eight bits of each memory location are accessible
via INDF. Writing to the Program Flash Memory cannot
be accomplished via the FSR/INDF interface. All
instructions that access Program Flash Memory via the
FSR/INDF interface will require one additional
instruction cycle to complete.

5.0 DEVICE CONFIGURATION
Device configuration consists of Configuration Words,
Code Protection and Device ID.
5.1 Configuration Words
There are several Configuration Word bits that allow
different oscillator and memory protection options.
These are implemented as Configuration Word 1 at
8007h, Configuration Word 2 at 8008h, Configuration
Word 3 at 8009h, and Configuration Word 4 at 800Ah.
Note: The DEBUG bit in Configuration Words is
managed automatically by device
development tools including debuggers

5.3 Code Protection
Code protection allows the device to be protected from
unauthorized access. Program memory protection and
data memory are controlled independently. Internal
access to the program memory is unaffected by any
code protection setting.
5.3.1 PROGRAM MEMORY PROTECTION
The entire program memory space is protected from
external reads and writes by the CP bit in Configuration
Words. When CP = 0, external reads and writes of
program memory are inhibited and a read will return all
0s. The CPU can continue to read program memory,
regardless of the protection bit settings. Self-write
writing the program memory is dependent upon the
write protection setting. See Section 5.4 “Write
Protection” for more information.
5.3.2 DATA MEMORY PROTECTION
The entire data EEPROM are protected from external
reads and writes by the CPD bit in the Configuration
Words. When CPD = 0, external reads and writes of
EEPROM memory are inhibited and a read will return
all ‘0’s. The CPU can continue to read and write
EEPROM memory, regardless of the protection bit
settings.
5.4 Write Protection
Write protection allows the device to be protected from
unintended self-writes. Applications, such as boot
loader software, can be protected while allowing other
regions of the program memory to be modified.
The WRT<1:0> bits in Configuration Words define the
size of the program memory block that is protected.
5.5 User ID
Four memory locations (8000h-8003h) are designated
as ID locations where the user can store checksum or
other code identification numbers. These locations are
readable and writable during normal execution. See
Section 11.4.7 “NVMREG EEPROM, User ID, Device
ID and Configuration Word Access for more
information on accessing these memory locations. For
more information on checksum calculation, see the
“PIC16(L)F183XX Memory Programming
Specification” (DS40001738).
5.6 Device ID and Revision ID
The 14-bit Device ID word is located at 8006h and the
14-bit Revision ID is located at 8005h. These locations
are read-only and cannot be erased or modified. See
Section 11.4 “NVMREG Access” for more
information on accessing these memory locations.
Development tools, such as device programmers and
debuggers, may be used to read the Device ID and
Revision ID.

6.1 Power-on Reset (POR)
The POR circuit holds the device in Reset until VDD has
reached an acceptable level for minimum operation.
Slow rising VDD, fast operating speeds or analog
performance may require greater than minimum VDD.
The PWRT, BOR or MCLR features can be used to
extend the start-up period until all device operation
conditions have been met.
6.2 Brown-out Reset (BOR)
The BOR circuit holds the device in Reset while VDD is
below a selectable minimum level. Between the POR
and BOR, complete voltage range coverage for
execution protection can be implemented.
The Brown-out Reset module has four operating
modes controlled by the BOREN<1:0> bits in
Configuration Words. The four operating modes are:
BOR is always on
BOR is off when in Sleep
BOR is controlled by software
BOR is always off
Refer to Tab le 6- 1 for more information.
The Brown-out Reset voltage level is selectable by
configuring the BORV bit in Configuration Words.
A VDD noise rejection filter prevents the BOR from
triggering on small events. If VDD falls below VBOR for
a duration greater than parameter TBORDC, the device
will reset, and the BOR bit of the PCON0 register will
be cleared, indicating that a Brown-out Reset condition
occurred. See Figure 6-2 for more information.

6.2.1 BOR IS ALWAYS ON
When the BOREN bits of Configuration Words are
programmed to11’, the BOR is always on. The device
start-up will be delayed until the BOR is ready and VDD
is higher than the BOR threshold.
BOR protection is active during Sleep. The BOR does
not delay wake-up from Sleep.
6.2.2 BOR IS OFF IN SLEEP
When the BOREN bits of Configuration Words are
programmed to ‘10’, the BOR is on, except in Sleep.
The device start-up will be delayed until the BOR is
ready and VDD is higher than the BOR threshold.
BOR protection is not active during Sleep, but device
wake-up will be delayed until the BOR can determine
that VDD is higher than the BOR threshold. The device
wake-up will be delayed until the BOR is ready.
6.2.3 BOR CONTROLLED BY SOFTWARE
When the BOREN bits of Configuration Words are
programmed to ‘01, the BOR is controlled by the
SBOREN bit of the BORCON register. The device
wake from Sleep is not delayed by the BOR Ready
condition or the VDD level only when the SBOREN bit
is cleared in software and the device is starting up from
a non POR/BOR Reset event.
BOR protection begins as soon as the BOR circuit is
ready. The status of the BOR circuit is reflected in the
BORRDY bit of the BORCON register. BOR Protection
is unchanged by Sleep
FIGURE 6-2: BROWN-OUT SITUATIONS
6.2.4 BOR ALWAYS OFF
When the BOREN bits of Configuration Word 2 are
programmed to ‘00’, the BOR is always disabled. In the
configuration, setting the SWBOREN bit will have no
affect on BOR operation.

6.3 Low-Power Brown-out Reset
(LPBOR)
The Low-Power Brown-Out Reset (LPBOR) circuit
provides alternative protection against Brown-out
conditions. When VDD falls below the LPBOR
threshold, the device is held in Reset. When this
occurs, the BOR bit of the PCON0 register is cleared to
indicate that a Brown-out Reset occurred. The BOR bit
will be cleared when either the BOR or the LPBOR
circuitry detects a BOR condition. The LPBOR feature
can be used with or without BOR enabled.
When used while BOR is enabled, the LPBOR can be
used as a secondary protection circuit in case the BOR
circuit fails to detect the BOR condition. Additionally,
when BOR is enabled except while in Sleep
(BOREN<1:0> = 10), the LPBOR circuit will hold the
device in Reset while VDD is lower than the LPBOR
threshold, and will also re-arm the POR. (see
Figure 35-11 for LPBOR Reset voltage levels).
When used without BOR enabled, the LPBOR circuit
provides a single Reset trip point with the benefit of
reduced current consumption.
6.3.1 ENABLING LPBOR
The LPBOR is controlled by the LPBOR bit of
Configuration Words. When the device is erased, the
LPBOR module defaults to disabled.
6.3.1.1 LPBOR Module Output
The output of the LPBOR module is a signal indicating
whether or not a Reset is to be asserted. This signal is
OR’d together with the Reset signal of the BOR
module to provide the generic BOR signal, which goes
to the PCON register and to the power control block.
6.4 MCLR
The MCLR is an optional external input that can reset
the device. The MCLR function is controlled by the
MCLRE bit of Configuration Words and the LVP bit of
Configuration Words (Tab le 6- 2).
6.4.1 MCLR ENABLED
When MCLR is enabled and the pin is held low, the
device is held in Reset. The MCLR pin is connected to
VDD through an internal weak pull-up.
The device has a noise filter in the MCLR Reset path.
The filter will detect and ignore small pulses.
6.4.2 MCLR DISABLED
When MCLR is disabled, the pin functions as a general
purpose input and the internal weak pull-up is under
software control. See Section 12.2 “PORTA
Registers” for more information.
6.5 Watchdog Timer (WDT) Reset
The Watchdog Timer generates a Reset if the firmware
does not issue a CLRWDT instruction within the time-out
period. The TO and PD bits in the STATUS register as
well as the RWDT bit in the PCON register, are changed
to indicate the WDT Reset. See Section 10.0
“Watchdog Timer (WDT)” for more information.
6.6 RESET Instruction
A RESET instruction will cause a device Reset. The RI
bit in the PCON register will be set to ‘0’. See Tab le 6- 4
for default conditions after a RESET instruction has
occurred.
6.7 Stack Overflow/Underflow Reset
The device can reset when the Stack Overflows or
Underflows. The STKOVF or STKUNF bits of the PCON
register indicate the Reset condition. These Resets are
enabled by setting the STVREN bit in Configuration
Words. See Section 4.4 “Stack” for more information.
6.8 Programming Mode Exit
Upon exit of Programming mode, the device will
behave as if a device Reset had just occurred.
6.9 Power-up Timer
The Power-up Timer provides a nominal 64 ms
time-out on POR or Brown-out Reset.
The device is held in Reset as long as PWRT is active.
The PWRT delay allows additional time for the VDD to
rise to an acceptable level. The Power-up Timer is
enabled by clearing the PWRTE bit in Configuration
Words.
The Power-up Timer starts after the release of the POR
and BOR.
For additional information, refer to Application Note
AN607, Power-up Trouble Shooting (DS00607).

6.10 Start-up Sequence
Upon the release of a POR or BOR, the following must
occur before the device will begin executing:
1. Power-up Timer runs to completion (if enabled).
2. MCLR must be released (if enabled).
3. Oscillator start-up timer runs to completion (if
required for oscillator source).
The total time out will vary based on oscillator
configuration and Power-up Timer Configuration. See
Section 7.0, Oscillator Module for more information.
The Power-up Timer and oscillator start-up timer run
independently of MCLR Reset. If MCLR is kept low
long enough, the Power-up Timer will expire. Upon
bringing MCLR high, the device will begin execution
after ten FOSC cycles (see Figure 6-3). This is useful for
testing purposes or to synchronize more than one
device operating in parallel.

by the condition, the bit remains unchanged
(Table 6-4).
Software can reset the bit to the Inactive state after the
restart (hardware will not reset the bit).
Software may also set any PCON bit to the Active state,
so that user code may be tested, but no Reset action
will be generated.

7.0 OSCILLATOR MODULE
7.1 Overview
The oscillator module has a wide variety of clock
sources and selection features that allow it to be used
in a wide range of applications while maximizing
performance and minimizing power consumption.
Figure 7-1 illustrates a block diagram of the oscillator
module.
Clock sources can be supplied from external oscillators,
quartz-crystal resonators and ceramic resonators. In
addition, the system clock source can be supplied from
one of two internal oscillators and PLL circuits, with a
choice of speeds selectable via software. Additional
clock features include:
Selectable system clock source between external
or internal sources via software.
Fail-Safe Clock Monitor (FSCM) designed to
detect a failure of the external clock source (LP,
XT, HS, ECH, ECM, ECL) and switch
automatically to the internal oscillator.
Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) ensures stability
of crystal oscillator sources.
The RSTOSC bits of Configuration Word 1 determine
the type of oscillator that will be used when the device
is reset, including when it is first powered-up.
The internal clock modes, LFINTOSC, HFINTOSC (set
at 1 MHz), or HFINTOSC (set at 32 MHz) can be set
through the RSTOSC bits.
If an external clock source is selected, the FEXTOSC
bits of Configuration Word 1 must be used in
conjunction with the RSTOSC bits to select the
External Clock mode.
The external oscillator module can be configured in one
of the following clock modes by setting the
FEXTOSC<2:0> bits of Configuration Word 1:
1. ECL – External Clock Low-Power mode
(<= 100 kHz)
2. ECM – External Clock Medium-Power mode
(<= 8 MHz)
3. ECH – External Clock High-Power mode
(above 8 MHz)
4. LP – 32 kHz Low-Power Crystal mode.
5. XT – Medium Gain Crystal or Ceramic Resonator
Oscillator mode (between 100 kHz and 4 MHz)
6. HS – High Gain Crystal or Ceramic Resonator
mode (above 4 MHz)
The ECH, ECM, and ECL Clock modes rely on an
external logic level signal as the device clock source.
The LP, XT, and HS Clock modes require an external
crystal or resonator to be connected to the device.
Each mode is optimized for a different frequency range.
The INTOSC internal oscillator block produces low and
high-frequency clock sources, designated LFINTOSC
and HFINTOSC. (see Internal Oscillator Block,
Figure 7-1).

7.2 Clock Source Types
Clock sources can be classified as external or internal.
External clock sources rely on external circuitry for the
clock source to function. Examples are: oscillator
modules (ECH, ECM, ECL mode), quartz crystal
resonators or ceramic resonators (LP, XT and HS
modes).
There is also a secondary oscillator block which is
optimized for a 32.768 kHz external clock source,
which can be used as an alternate clock source.
There are two internal oscillator blocks:
-HFINTOSC
-LFINTOSC
The HFINTOSC can produce clock frequencies from
1-16 MHz. The LFINTOSC generates a 31 kHz clock
frequency.
There is a PLL that can be used by the external oscilla-
tor. See Section 7.2.1.4 “4x PLL” for more details.
Additionally, there is a PLL that can be used by the
HFINTOSC at certain frequencies. See
Section 7.2.2.2 “2x PLL” for more details.
7.2.1 EXTERNAL CLOCK SOURCES
An external clock source can be used as the device
system clock by performing one of the following
actions:
Program the RSTOSC<2:0> bits in the
Configuration Words to select an external clock
source that will be used as the default system
clock upon a device Reset.
Write the NOSC<2:0> and NDIV<3:0> bits in the
OSCCON1 register to switch the system clock
source.
See Section 7.3 “Clock Switching” for more
information.
7.2.1.1 EC Mode
The External Clock (EC) mode allows an externally
generated logic level signal to be the system clock
source. When operating in this mode, an external clock
source is connected to the CLKIN input.
OSC2/CLKOUT is available for general purpose I/O or
CLKOUT. Figure 7-2 shows the pin connections for EC
mode.
EC mode has three power modes to select from through
Configuration Words:
ECH – High power, <= 32 MHz
ECM – Medium power, <= 8 MHz
ECL – Low power, <= 0.1 MHz
The Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) is disabled when
EC mode is selected. Therefore, there is no delay in
operation after a Power-on Reset (POR) or wake-up
from Sleep. Because the PIC® MCU design is fully
static, stopping the external clock input will have the
effect of halting the device while leaving all data intact.
Upon restarting the external clock, the device will
resume operation as if no time had elapsed.

PIC16(L)F18326/18346
7.2.1.2 LP, XT, HS Modes
The LP, XT and HS modes support the use of quartz
crystal resonators or ceramic resonators connected to
OSC1 and OSC2 (Figure 7-3). The three modes select
a low, medium or high gain setting of the internal
inverter-amplifier to support various resonator types
and speed.
LP Oscillator mode selects the lowest gain setting
of the internal inverter-amplifier. LP mode current
consumption is the least of the three modes. This
mode is designed to drive only 32.768 kHz
tuning-fork type crystals (watch crystals) but can
operate up to 100 kHz.
XT Oscillator mode selects the intermediate gain
setting of the internal inverter-amplifier. XT mode
current consumption is the medium of the three
modes. This mode is best suited to crystals and
resonators with a frequency rang up to 4 MHz.
HS Oscillator mode selects the highest gain
setting of the internal inverter-amplifier. HS mode
current consumption is the highest of the three
modes. This mode is best suited for resonators
that require operating frequencies up to 20 MHz.
Figure 7-3 and Figure 7-4 show typical circuits for
quartz crystal and ceramic resonators, respectively.

7.2.1.3 Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST)
If the oscillator module is configured for LP, XT or HS
modes, the Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) counts
1024 oscillations from OSC1. This occurs following a
Power-on Reset (POR), Brown-out Reset (BOR), or a
wake-up from Sleep. The OST ensures that the
oscillator circuit, using a quartz crystal resonator or
ceramic resonator, has started and is providing a stable
system clock to the oscillator module.
7.2.1.4 4x PLL
The oscillator module contains a PLL that can be used
with external clock sources to provide a system clock
source. The input frequency for the PLL must fall within
specifications. See the PLL Clock Timing
Specifications in Ta ble 3 5 - 9.
The PLL may be enabled for use by one of two
methods:
1. Program the RSTOSC bits in the Configuration
Word 1 to enable the EXTOSC with 4x PLL.
2. Write the NOSC<2:0> bits in the OSCCON1
register to enable the EXTOSC with 4x PLL.
7.2.1.5 Secondary Oscillator
The secondary oscillator is a separate oscillator block
that can be used as an alternate system clock source.
The secondary oscillator is optimized for 32.768 kHz,
and can be used with an external crystal oscillator
connected to the SOSCI and SOSCO device pins, or
an external clock source connected to the SOSCIN pin.
The secondary oscillator can be selected during
run-time using clock switching. Refer to Section 7.3
“Clock Switching for more information.

7.2.2 INTERNAL CLOCK SOURCES
The device may be configured to use the internal
oscillator block as the system clock by performing one
of the following actions:
Program the RSTOSC<2:0> bits in Configuration
Words to select the INTOSC clock source, which
will be used as the default system clock upon a
device Reset.
Write the NOSC<2:0> bits in the OSCCON1
register to switch the system clock source to the
internal oscillator during run-time. See
Section 7.3 “Clock Switching” for more
information.
The function of the OSC2/CLKOUT pin is determined
by the CLKOUTEN bit in Configuration Words.
The internal oscillator block has two independent
oscillators that can produce two internal system clock
sources.
1. The HFINTOSC (High-Frequency Internal
Oscillator) is factory-calibrated and operates up
to 32 MHz.
2. The LFINTOSC (Low-Frequency Internal
Oscillator) is factory-calibrated and operates at
31 kHz.
7.2.2.1 HFINTOSC
The High-Frequency Internal Oscillator (HFINTOSC) is
a precision digitally-controlled internal clock source
that produces a stable clock up to 32 MHz. The
HFINTOSC can be enabled through one of the
following methods:
Programming the RSTOSC<2:0> bits in
Configuration Word 1 to ‘110’ (1 MHz) or ‘000
(32 MHz) to set the oscillator upon device
Power-up or Reset
Write to the NOSC<2:0> bits of the OSCCON1
register during run-time
The HFINTOSC frequency can be selected by setting
the HFFRQ<3:0> bits of the OSCFRQ register.
The NDIV<3:0> bits of the OSCCON1 register allow for
division of the output of the selected clock source by a
range between 1:1 and 1:512.
7.2.2.2 2x PLL
The oscillator module contains a PLL that can be used
with the HFINTOSC clock source to provide a system
clock source. The input frequency to the PLL is limited
to 8, 12, or 16 MHz, which will yield a system clock
source of 16, 24, or 32 MHz, respectively.
The PLL may be enabled for use by one of two
methods:
1. Program the RSTOSC bits in the Configuration
Word 1 to ‘000’ to enable the HFINTOSC (32
MHz). This setting configures the HFFRQ<3:0>
bits to ‘110’ (16 MHz) and activates the 2x PLL.
2. Write ‘000’ to the NOSC<2:0> bits in the
OSCCON1 register to enable the 2x PLL, and
write the correct value into the HFFRQ<3:0> bits
of the OSCFRQ register to select the desired
system clock frequency. See Register 7-6 for
more information.
PIC16(L)F18326/18346
DS40001839D-page 84 2016-2018 Microchip Technology Inc.
7.2.2.3 Internal Oscillator Frequency
Adjustment
The HFINTOSC and LFINTOSC internal oscillators are
both factory-calibrated. TH HFINTOSC oscillator can
be adjusted in software by writing to the OSCTUNE
register (Register 7-3). OSCTUNE does not affect the
LFINTOSC frequency.
The default value of the OSCTUNE register is 00h. The
value is a 6-bit two’s complement number. A value of
1Fh will provide an adjustment to the maximum
frequency. A value of 20h will provide an adjustment to
the minimum frequency.
When the OSCTUNE register is modified, the
HFINTOSC oscillator frequency will begin shifting to the
new frequency. Code execution continues during this
shift. There is no indication that the shift has occurred.
7.2.2.4 LFINTOSC
The Low-Frequency Internal Oscillator (LFINTOSC) is
a factory-calibrated 31 kHz internal clock source.
The LFINTOSC is the clock source for the Power-up
Timer (PWRT), Watchdog Timer (WDT) and Fail-Safe
Clock Monitor (FSCM). The LFINTOSC can also be
used as the system clock, or as a clock or input source
to certain peripherals.
The LFINTOSC is selected as the clock source through
one of the following methods:
Programming the RSTOSC<2:0> bits of
Configuration Word 1 to enable LFINTOSC.
Write to the NOSC<2:0> bits of the OSCCON1
register.
7.2.2.5 Oscillator Status and Manual Enable
The ‘ready’ status of each oscillator is displayed in the
OSCSTAT1 register (Register 7-4). The oscillators can
also be manually enabled through the OSCEN register
(Register 7-5). Manual enables make it possible to
verify the operation of the EXTOSC or SOSC crystal
oscillators. This can be achieved by enabling the
selected oscillator, then watching the corresponding
‘ready’ state of the oscillator in the OSCSTAT1 register.

PIC16(L)F18326/18346
7.3 Clock Switching
The system clock source can be switched between
external and internal clock sources via software using
the New Oscillator Source (NOSC) and New Divider
Selection Request (NDIV) bits of the OSCCON1
register. The following clock sources can be selected:
External Oscillator (EXTOSC)
High-Frequency Internal Oscillator (HFINTOSC)
Low-Frequency Internal Oscillator (LFINTOSC)
Secondary Oscillator (SOSC)
EXTOSC with 4x PLL
HFINTOSC with 2x PLL
7.3.1 NEW OSCILLATOR SOURCE
(NOSC) AND NEW DIVIDER
SELECTION REQUEST (NDIV) BITS
The New Oscillator Source (NOSC) and New Divider
Selection Request (NDIV) bits of the OSCCON1
register select the system clock source and frequencies
that are used for the CPU and peripherals.
When the new values of NOSC<2:0> and NDIV<3:0>
are written to OSCCON1, the current oscillator
selection will continue to operate as the system clock
while waiting for the new source to indicate that it is
stable and ready. In some cases, the newly requested
source may already be in use, and is ready
immediately. In the case of a divider-only change, the
new and old sources are the same and are ready
immediately. The device may enter Sleep while waiting
for the switch as described in Section 7.3.3 “Clock
Switch and Sleep”.
When the new oscillator is ready, the New Oscillator is
Ready (NOSCR) bit of OSCCON3 and the Clock
Switch Interrupt Flag (CSWIF) bit of PIR3 become set
(CSWIF = 1). If Clock Switch Interrupts are enabled
(CSWIE = 1), an interrupt will be generated at that time.
The Oscillator Ready (ORDY) bit of OSCCON3 can
also be polled to determine when the oscillator is ready
in lieu of an interrupt.
If the Clock Switch Hold (CSWHOLD) bit of OSCCON3
is clear, the oscillator switch will occur when the New
Oscillator Ready bit (NOSCR) is set and the interrupt (if
enabled) will be serviced at the new oscillator setting.
If CSWHOLD is set, the oscillator switch is suspended,
while execution continues using the current (old) clock
source. When the NOSCR bit is set, software should:
Set CSWHOLD = 0 so the switch can complete,
or
Copy COSC into NOSC<2:0> to abandon the
switch.
If DOZE is in effect, the switch occurs on the next clock
cycle, whether or not the CPU is operating during that
cycle.
Changing the clock post-divider without changing the
clock source (i.e., changing FOSC from 1 MHz to 2
MHz) is handled in the same manner as a clock source
change, as described previously. The clock source will
already be active, so the switch is relatively quick.
CSWHOLD must be clear (CSWHOLD = 0) for the
switch to complete.
The current COSC and CDIV are indicated in the
OSCCON2 register up to the moment when the switch
actually occurs, at which time OSCCON2 is updated
and ORDY is set. NOSCR is cleared by hardware to
indicate that the switch is complete.
7.3.2 PLL INPUT SWITCH
Switching between the PLL and any non-PLL source is
managed as described above. The input to the PLL is
established when NOSC<2:0> selects the PLL, and
maintained by the COSC setting.
When NOSC<2:0> and COSC select the PLL with
different input sources, the system continues to run
using the COSC setting, and the new source is enabled
per NOSC<2:0>. When the new oscillator is ready (and
CSWHOLD = 0), system operation is suspended while
the PLL input is switched and the PLL acquires lock.
7.3.3 CLOCK SWITCH AND SLEEP
If OSCCON1 is written with a new value and the device
is put to Sleep before the switch completes, the switch
will not take place and the device will enter Sleep
mode.
When the device wakes from Sleep and the
CSWHOLD bit is clear, the device will wake with the
‘new’ clock active, and the Clock Switch Interrupt Flag
bit (CSWIF) will be set.
When the device wakes from Sleep and the
CSWHOLD bit is set, the device will wake with the ‘old’
clock active and the new clock will be requested again.

7.4 Fail-Safe Clock Monitor
The Fail-Safe Clock Monitor (FSCM) allows the device
to continue operating should the external oscillator fail.
The FSCM is enabled by setting the FCMEN bit in the
Configuration Words. The FSCM is applicable to all
external Oscillator modes (LP, XT, HS, ECL, ECM,
ECH, and Secondary Oscillator).
FIGURE 7-9: FSCM BLOCK DIAGRAM
7.4.1 FAIL-SAFE DETECTION
The FSCM module detects a failed oscillator by
comparing the external oscillator to the FSCM sample
clock. The sample clock is generated by dividing the
LFINTOSC by 64 (see Figure 7-9). Inside the fail
detector block is a latch. The external clock sets the
latch on each falling edge of the external clock. The
sample clock clears the latch on each rising edge of the
sample clock. A failure is detected when an entire
half-cycle of the sample clock elapses before the
external clock goes low.
7.4.2 FAIL-SAFE OPERATION
When the external clock fails, the FSCM switches the
device clock to the HFINTOSC at 1 MHz clock
frequency and sets the bit flag OSFIF of the PIR3
register. Setting this flag will generate an interrupt if the
OSFIE bit of the PIE3 register is also set. The device
firmware can then take steps to mitigate the problems
that may arise from a failed clock. The system clock will
continue to be sourced from the internal clock source
until the device firmware successfully restarts the
external oscillator and switches back to external
operation, by writing to the NOSC<2:0> and
NDIV<3:0>bits of the OSCCON1 register.
7.4.3 FAIL-SAFE CONDITION CLEARING
The Fail-Safe condition is cleared after a Reset,
executing a SLEEP instruction or changing the
NOSC<2:0> and NDIV<3:0> bits of the OSCCON1
register. When switching to the external oscillator or
external oscillator with PLL, the OST is restarted. While
the OST is running, the device continues to operate
from the INTOSC selected in OSCCON1. When the
OST times out, the Fail-Safe condition is cleared after
successfully switching to the external clock source. The
OSFIF bit should be cleared prior to switching to the
external clock source. If the Fail-Safe condition still
exists, the OSFIF flag will again be set by hardware.
7.4.4 RESET OR WAKE-UP FROM SLEEP
The FSCM is designed to detect an oscillator failure
after the Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) has expired.
The OST is used after waking up from Sleep and after
any type of Reset. The OST is not used with the EC
Clock modes so that the external clock signal can be
stopped if required. Therefore, the device will always
be executing code while the OST is operating when
using one of the EC modes.

8.0 INTERRUPTS
The interrupt feature allows certain events to preempt
normal program flow. Firmware is used to determine
the source of the interrupt and act accordingly. Some
interrupts can be configured to wake the MCU from
Sleep mode.
Many peripherals produce interrupts. Refer to the
corresponding chapters for details.
A block diagram of the interrupt logic is shown in
Figure 8-1.

8.1 Operation
Interrupts are disabled upon any device Reset. They
are enabled by setting the following bits:
GIE bit of the INTCON register
Interrupt Enable bit(s) for the specific interrupt
event(s)
PEIE bit of the INTCON register (if the Interrupt
Enable bit of the interrupt event is contained in the
PIEx registers).
The PIR1, PIR2, PIR3 and PIR4 registers record
individual interrupts via interrupt flag bits. Interrupt flag
bits will be set, regardless of the status of the GIE, PEIE
and individual interrupt enable bits.
The following events happen when an interrupt event
occurs while the GIE bit is set:
Current prefetched instruction is flushed
GIE bit is cleared
Current Program Counter (PC) is pushed onto the
stack
Critical registers are automatically saved to the
shadow registers (See Section 8.5 “Automatic
Context Saving”)
PC is loaded with the interrupt vector 0004h
The firmware within the Interrupt Service Routine (ISR)
should determine the source of the interrupt by polling
the interrupt flag bits. The interrupt flag bits must be
cleared before exiting the ISR to avoid repeated
interrupts. Because the GIE bit is cleared, any interrupt
that occurs while executing the ISR will be recorded
through its interrupt flag, but will not cause the
processor to redirect to the interrupt vector.
The RETFIE instruction exits the ISR by popping the
previous address from the stack, restoring the saved
context from the shadow registers and setting the GIE
bit.
For additional information on a specific interrupt’s
operation, refer to its peripheral chapter.
8.2 Interrupt Latency
Interrupt latency is defined as the time from when the
interrupt event occurs to the time code execution at the
interrupt vector begins. The latency for synchronous
interrupts is three or four instruction cycles. The
interrupt is sampled during Q1 of the instruction cycle.
The actual interrupt latency then depends on the
instruction that is executing at the time the interrupt is
detected. See Figure 8-2 and Figure 8-3 for more
details.
Note 1: Individual interrupt flag bits are set,
regardless of the state of any other
enable bits.
2: All interrupts will be ignored while the GIE
bit is cleared. Any interrupt occurring
while the GIE bit is clear will be serviced
when the GIE bit is set again.

8.3 Interrupts During Sleep
All interrupts can be used to wake from Sleep. To wake
from Sleep, the peripheral must be able to operate
without the system clock. The interrupt source must
have the appropriate Interrupt Enable bit(s) set prior to
entering Sleep.
On waking from Sleep, if the GIE bit is also set, the
processor will branch to the interrupt vector. Otherwise,
the processor will continue executing instructions after
the SLEEP instruction. The instruction directly after the
SLEEP instruction will always be executed before
branching to the ISR. Refer to Section 9.0
“Power-Saving Operation Modes” for more details.
8.4 INT Pin
The INT pin can be used to generate an asynchronous
edge-triggered interrupt. This interrupt is enabled by
setting the INTE bit of the PIE0 register. The INTEDG bit
of the INTCON register determines on which edge the
interrupt will occur. When the INTEDG bit is set, the
rising edge will cause the interrupt. When the INTEDG
bit is clear, the falling edge will cause the interrupt. The
INTF bit of the PIR0 register will be set when a valid
edge appears on the INT pin. If the GIE and INTE bits
are also set, the processor will redirect program
execution to the interrupt vector.
8.5 Automatic Context Saving
Upon entering an interrupt, the return PC address is
saved on the stack. Additionally, the following registers
are automatically saved in the shadow registers:
W register
STATUS register (except for TO and PD)
BSR register
FSR registers
PCLATH register
Upon exiting the Interrupt Service Routine, these
registers are automatically restored. Any modifications
to these registers during the ISR will be lost. If
modifications to any of these registers are desired, the
corresponding shadow register should be modified and
the value will be restored when exiting the ISR. The
shadow registers are available in Bank 31 and are
readable and writable. Depending on the user’s
application, other registers may also need to be saved.

9.0 POWER-SAVING OPERATION
MODES
The purpose of the Power-Down modes is to reduce
power consumption. There are three Power-Down
modes: Doze mode, IDLE mode and Sleep mode.
9.1 DOZE Mode
Doze mode allows for power savings by reducing CPU
operation and program memory access, without
affecting peripheral operation. Doze mode differs from
Sleep mode because the system oscillators continue to
operate, while only the CPU and program memory are
affected. The reduced execution saves power by
eliminating unnecessary operations within the CPU
and memory.
When the Doze Enable (DOZEN) bit is set
(DOZEN = 1), the CPU executes only one instruction
cycle out of every N cycles as defined by the
DOZE<2:0> bits of the CPUDOZE register. For
example, if DOZE<2:0> = 100, the instruction cycle
ratio is 1:32. The CPU and memory execute for one
instruction cycle and then lay idle for 31 instruction
cycles. During the unused cycles, the peripherals
continue to operate at the system clock speed.

2016-2018 Microchip Technology Inc. DS40001839D-page 113
PIC16(L)F18326/18346
9.1.1 DOZE OPERATION
The Doze operation is illustrated in Figure 9-1. For this
example:
Doze enable (DOZEN) bit set (DOZEN = 1)
DOZE<2:0> = 001 (1:4) ratio
Recover-on-Interrupt (ROI) bit set (ROI = 1)
As with normal operation, the program memory fetches
for the next instruction cycle. The instruction clocks to
the peripherals continue throughout.
9.1.2 INTERRUPTS DURING DOZE
If an interrupt occurs and the Recover-on-Interrupt
(ROI) bit is cleared (ROI = 0) at the time of the interrupt,
the Interrupt Service Routine (ISR) continues to exe-
cute at the rate selected by DOZE<2:0>. Interrupt
latency is extended by the DOZE<2:0> ratio.
If an interrupt occurs and the ROI bit is set (ROI = 1) at
the time of the interrupt, the DOZEN bit is cleared and
the CPU executes at full speed. The prefetched instruc-
tion is executed and then the interrupt vector sequence
is executed. In Figure 9-1, the interrupt occurs during
the 2nd instruction cycle of the Doze period, and imme-
diately brings the CPU out of Doze. If the Doze-on-Exit
(DOE) bit is set (DOE = 1) when the RETFIE operation
is executed, DOZEN is set, and the CPU executes at
the reduced rate based on the DOZE<2:0> ratio.
9.1.3 IDLE MODE
When the IDLE Enable (IDLEN) bit is cleared
(IDLEN = 0), the SLEEP instruction will put the device
into full Sleep mode (see Section 9.2 “Sleep Mode”).
When IDLEN is set (IDLEN = 1), the SLEEP instruction
will put the device into Idle mode. In IDLE mode, the
CPU and memory operations are halted, but the
peripheral clocks continue to run. This mode is similar
to DOZE mode, except that in IDLE both the CPU and
program memory are shut off.
9.1.3.1 IDLE and Interrupts
IDLE mode ends when an interrupt occurs (even if
GIE = 0), but IDLEN is not changed. The device can
re-enter IDLE by executing the SLEEP instruction.
If Recover-on-Interrupt is enabled (ROI = 1), the
interrupt that brings the device out of Idle also restores
full-speed CPU execution when DOZE is also enabled.
9.1.3.2 IDLE and WDT
When in IDLE, the WDT Reset is blocked and will
instead wake the device. The WDT wake-up is not an
interrupt, therefore ROI does not apply.
Note: Peripherals using FOSC will continue
running while in IDLE (but not in Sleep).
Note: If CLKOUT is enabled (CLKOUT = 0,
Configuration Word 1), the output will
continue operating while in IDLE.
Note: The WDT can bring the device out of
IDLE, in the same way it brings the device
out of Sleep. The DOZEN bit is not
affected.
PIC16(L)F18326/18346
DS40001839D-page 114 2016-2018 Microchip Technology Inc.
9.2 Sleep Mode
Sleep mode is entered by executing the SLEEP
instruction, while the Idle Enable (IDLEN) bit of the
CPUDOZE register is cleared (IDLEN = 0). If the
SLEEP instruction is executed while the IDLEN bit is set
(IDLEN = 1), the CPU will enter the Idle mode
(Section 9.2.3 “Low-Power Sleep Mode”).
Upon entering Sleep mode, the following conditions
exist:
1. Resets other than WDT are not affected by
Sleep mode; WDT will be cleared but keeps
running if enabled for operation during Sleep
2. The PD bit of the STATUS register is cleared
3. The TO bit of the STATUS register is set
4. The CPU and System clocks are disabled
5. 31 kHz LFINTOSC, HFINTOSC and SOSC will
remain enabled if any peripheral has requested
them as a clock source or if the HFOEN,
LFOEN, or SOSCEN bits of the OSCEN register
are set.
6. ADC is unaffected if the dedicated ADCRC
oscillator is selected. When the ADC clock is
something other than ADCRC, a SLEEP
instruction causes the present conversion to be
aborted and the ADC module is turned off,
although the ADON bit remains active.
7. I/O ports maintain the status they had before
SLEEP was executed (driving high, low, or
high-impedance) only if no peripheral connected
to the I/O port is active.
Refer to individual chapters for more details on
peripheral operation during Sleep.
To minimize current consumption, the following
conditions should be considered:
- I/O pins should not be floating
- External circuitry sinking current from I/O pins
- Internal circuitry sourcing current from I/O
pins
- Current draw from pins with internal weak
pull-ups
- Modules using any oscillator
I/O pins that are high-impedance inputs should be
pulled to VDD or VSS externally to avoid switching
currents caused by floating inputs.
Examples of internal circuitry that might be sourcing
current include modules such as the DAC and FVR
modules. See Section 24.0 “5-bit Digital-to-Analog
Converter (DAC1) Module” and Section 16.0 “Fixed
Voltage Reference (FVR)” for more information on
these modules.
9.2.1 WAKE-UP FROM SLEEP
The device can wake-up from Sleep through one of the
following events:
1. External Reset input on MCLR pin, if enabled
2. BOR Reset, if enabled.
3. POR Reset.
4. Watchdog Timer, if enabled
5. Interrupts by peripherals capable of running
during Sleep (see individual peripheral for more
information).
The first three events will cause a device Reset. The
last two events are considered a continuation of
program execution. To determine whether a device
Reset or wake-up event occurred, refer to Section 6.11
“Determining the Cause of a Reset”.
The WDT is cleared when the device wakes-up from
Sleep, regardless of the source of wake-up.
9.2.2 WAKE-UP USING INTERRUPTS
When global interrupts are disabled (GIE cleared) and
any interrupt source has both its interrupt enable bit
and interrupt flag bit set, one of the following will occur:
If the interrupt occurs before the execution of a
SLEEP instruction
-SLEEP instruction will execute as a NOP
- WDT and WDT prescaler will not be cleared
-TO
bit of the STATUS register will not be set
-PD bit of the STATUS register will not be
cleared
If the interrupt occurs during or after the execu-
tion of a SLEEP instruction
-SLEEP instruction will be completely
executed
- Device will immediately wake-up from Sleep
- WDT and WDT prescaler will be cleared
-TO
bit of the STATUS register will be set
-PD bit of the STATUS register will be cleared
Even if the flag bits were checked before executing a
SLEEP instruction, it may be possible for flag bits to
become set before the SLEEP instruction completes. To
determine whether a SLEEP instruction executed, test
the PD bit. If the PD bit is set, the SLEEP instruction
was executed as a NOP.

9.2.3 LOW-POWER SLEEP MODE
The PIC16F18326/18346 device contains an internal
Low Dropout (LDO) voltage regulator, which allows the
device I/O pins to operate at voltages up to 5.5V while
the internal device logic operates at a lower voltage.
The LDO and its associated reference circuitry must
remain active when the device is in Sleep mode.
The PIC16F18326/18346 allows the user to optimize
the operating current in Sleep, depending on the
application requirements.
Low-Power Sleep mode can be selected by setting the
VREGPM bit of the VREGCON register. Depending on
the configuration of this bit, the LDO and reference cir-
cuitry are placed in a Low-Power state when the device
is in Sleep.
9.2.3.1 Sleep Current vs. Wake-up Time
In the default operating mode, the LDO and reference
circuitry remain in the normal configuration while in
Sleep. The device is able to exit Sleep mode quickly
since all circuits remain active. In Low-Power Sleep
mode, when waking-up from Sleep, an extra delay time
is required for these circuits to return to the normal
configuration and stabilize.
The Low-Power Sleep mode is beneficial for
applications that stay in Sleep mode for long periods of
time. The Normal mode is beneficial for applications
that need to wake from Sleep quickly and frequently.
9.2.3.2 Peripheral Usage in Sleep
Some peripherals that can operate in Sleep mode will
not operate properly with the Low-Power Sleep mode
selected. The Low-Power Sleep mode is intended for
use with these peripherals:
Brown-out Reset (BOR)
Watchdog Timer (WDT)
External interrupt pin/Interrupt-on-change pins
Timer 1 (with external clock source)
It is the responsibility of the end user to determine what
is acceptable for their application when setting the
VREGPM settings in order to ensure operation in
Sleep.
Note: The PIC16LF18326/18346 does not have
a configurable Low-Power Sleep mode.
PIC16LF18326/18346 is an unregulated
device and is always in the lowest power
state when in Sleep, with no wake-up time
penalty. This device has a lower maximum
VDD and I/O voltage than the
PIC16F18326/18346. See Section 35.0
“Electrical Specifications” for more
information.

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

10.1 Independent Clock Source
The WDT derives its time base from the 31 kHz
LFINTOSC internal oscillator. Time intervals in this
chapter are based on a nominal interval of 1 ms. See
Table 35-8 for the LFINTOSC specification.
10.2 WDT Operating Modes
The Watchdog Timer module has four operating modes
controlled by the WDTE<1:0> bits in Configuration
Words (see Table 10- 1).
10.2.1 WDT IS ALWAYS ON
When the WDTE bits of Configuration Words are set to
11’, the WDT is always ON.
WDT protection is active during Sleep.
10.2.2 WDT IS OFF IN SLEEP
When the WDTE bits of Configuration Words are set to
10’, the WDT is on, except in Sleep.
WDT protection is not active during Sleep.
10.2.3 WDT CONTROLLED BY SOFTWARE
When the WDTE bits of Configuration Words are set to
01’, the WDT is controlled by the SWDTEN bit of the
WDTCON register.
WDT protection is unchanged by Sleep. See
Table 10-1 for more details.
10.2.4 WDT IS ALWAYS OFF
When the WDTE bits are set to ‘00’, the WDT is
disabled, and the SWDTEN bit of the WDTCON is
ignored.
10.3 Time-out Period
The WDTPS<4:0> bits of the WDTCON register set the
time-out period from 1 ms to 256 seconds (nominal).
After a Reset, the default time-out period is two
seconds.
10.4 Clearing the WDT
The WDT is cleared when any of the following
conditions occur:
Any Reset
CLRWDT instruction is executed
Device enters Sleep
Device wakes up from Sleep due to an interrupt
Oscillator fail
WDT is disabled
Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) is running
See Table 10-2 for more information.
10.5 Operation During Sleep
When the device enters Sleep, the WDT is cleared. If
the WDT is enabled during Sleep, the WDT resumes
counting.
When the device exits Sleep, the WDT is cleared
again. The WDT remains clear until the OST, if
enabled, completes. See Section 7.0 “Oscillator
Module” for more information on the OST.
When a WDT time-out occurs while the device is in
Sleep, no Reset is generated. Instead, the device
wakes up and resumes operation. The TO and PD bits
in the STATUS register are changed to indicate the
event. See STATUS Register (Register 4-1) for more
information.

11.0 NONVOLATILE MEMORY
(NVM) CONTROL
NVM is separated into two types: Program Flash
Memory and Data EEPROM.
NVM is accessible by using both the FSR and INDF
registers, or through the NVMREG register interface.
The write time is controlled by an on-chip timer. The
write/erase voltages are generated by an on-chip
charge pump rated to operate over the operating
voltage range of the device.
NVM can be protected in two ways; by either code
protection or write protection.
Code protection (CP and CPD bits in Configuration
Word 4) disables access, reading and writing, to both
the Program Flash Memory and EEPROM via external
device programmers. Code protection does not affect
the self-write and erase functionality. Code protection
can only be Reset by a device programmer performing
a Bulk Erase to the device, clearing all nonvolatile
memory, Configuration bits, and User IDs.
Write protection prohibits self-write and erase to a
portion or all of the Program Flash Memory, as defined
by the WRT<1:0> bits of Configuration Word 3. Write
protection does not affect a device programmer’s ability
to read, write, or erase the device.
11.1 Program Flash Memory
Program Flash Memory consists of 16,384 14-bit words
as user memory, with additional words for User ID
information, Configuration Words, and interrupt
vectors. Program Flash Memory provides storage
locations for:
User program instructions
User defined data
Program Flash Memory data can be read and/or written
to through:
CPU instruction fetch (read-only)
FSR/INDF indirect access (read-only)
(Section 11.3 “FSR and INDF Access”)
NVMREG access (Section 11.4 “NVMREG
Access”
In-Circuit Serial Programming™ (ICSP™)
Read operations return a single word of memory. When
write and erase operations are done on a row basis, the
row size is defined in Table 11-1. Program Flash
Memory will erase to a logic ‘1’ and program to a logic
0’.
It is important to understand the Program Flash
Memory structure for erase and programming
operations. Program Flash Memory is arranged in
rows. A row consists of 32 14-bit program memory
words. A row is the minimum size that can be erased
by user software.
All or a portion of a row can be programmed. Data to be
written into the program memory row are written to
14-bit wide data write latches. These latches are not
directly accessible to the user, but may be loaded via
sequential writes to the NVMDATH:NVMDATL register
pair.
11.1.1 PROGRAM MEMORY VOLTAGES
The Program Flash Memory is readable and writable
during normal operation over the full VDD range.
11.1.1.1 Programming Externally
The program memory cell and control logic support
write and Bulk Erase operations down to the minimum
device operating voltage.
11.1.1.2 Self-Programming
The program memory cell and control logic will support
write and row erase operations across the entire VDD
range. Bulk Erase is not supported when
self-programming.

PIC16(L)F18346
Note: To modify only a portion of a previously
programmed row, then the contents of the
entire row must be read and saved in
RAM prior to the erase. Then, the new
data and retained data can be written into
the write latches to reprogram the row of
Program Flash Memory. Any
unprogrammed locations can be written
without first erasing the row. In this case,
it is not necessary to save and rewrite the
other previously programmed locations
PIC16(L)F18326/18346
DS40001839D-page 124 2016-2018 Microchip Technology Inc.
11.2 Data EEPROM
Data EEPROM consists of 256 bytes of user data
memory. The EEPROM provides storage locations for
8-bit user defined data.
EEPROM can be read and/or written through:
FSR/INDF indirect access (Section 11.3 “FSR
and INDF Access”)
NVMREG access (Section 11.4 “NVMREG
Access”)
In-Circuit Serial Programming (ICSP)
Unlike Program Flash Memory, which must be written
to by row, EEPROM can be written to byte-by-byte.
11.3 FSR and INDF Access
The FSR and INDF registers allow indirect access to
the Program Flash Memory or EEPROM.
11.3.1 FSR READ
With the intended address loaded into an FSR register,
a MOVIW instruction or read of INDF will read data from
the Program Flash Memory or EEPROM. The CPU
operation is suspended during the read, and resumes
immediately after. Read operations return a single word
of memory. When the MSB of the FSR (ex: FSRxH) is
set to 0x70, the lower 8-bit address value (in FSRxL)
determines the EEPROM location that may be read
from (through the INDF register). In other words, the
EEPROM address range 0x00-0xFF is mapped into the
FSR address space between 0x7000-0x70FF. Writing
to the EEPROM cannot be accomplished via the
FSR/INDF interface.
11.3.2 FSR WRITE
Writing/erasing the NVM through the FSR registers (ex.
MOVWI instruction) is not supported in the
PIC16(L)F18326/18346 devices.
11.4 NVMREG Access
The NVMREG interface allows read/write access to all
the locations accessible by FSRs, and also read/write
access to the User ID locations and EEPROM, and
read-only access to the device identification, revision,
and Configuration data.
Reading, writing, or erasing of NVM via the NVMREG
interface is prevented when the device is
code-protected.
11.4.1 NVMREG READ OPERATION
To read a NVM location using the NVMREG interface,
the user must:
1. Clear the NVMREGS bit of the NVMCON1
register if the user intends to access Program
Flash Memory locations, or set NVMREGS if the
user intends to access User ID, Configuration,
or EEPROM locations.
2. Write the desired address into the
NVMADRH:NVMADRL register pair
(Table 11-2).
3. Set the RD bit of the NVMCON1 register to
initiate the read.
Once the read control bit is set, the CPU operation is
suspended during the read, and resumes immediately
after. The data are available in the very next cycle, in
the NVMDATH:NVMDATL register pair; therefore, it
can be read as two bytes in the following instructions.
NVMDATH:NVMDATL register pair will hold this value
until another read or until it is written to by the user.
Upon completion, the RD bit is cleared by hardware.

11.4.2 NVM UNLOCK SEQUENCE
The unlock sequence is a mechanism that protects the
NVM from unintended self-write programming or
erasing. The sequence must be executed and
completed without interruption to successfully
complete any of the following operations:
Program Flash Memory Row Erase
Load of Program Flash Memory write latches
Write of Program Flash Memory write latches to
Program Flash Memory memory
Write of Program Flash Memory write latches to
User IDs
Write to EEPROM
The unlock sequence consists of the following steps
and must be completed in order:
Write 55h to NVMCON2
Write AAh to NMVCON2
Set the WR bit of NVMCON1
Once the WR bit is set, the processor will stall internal
operations until the operation is complete and then
resume with the next instruction.
Since the unlock sequence must not be interrupted,
global interrupts should be disabled prior to the unlock
sequence and re-enabled after the unlock sequence is
completed.
FIGURE 11-2: NVM UNLOCK

EXAMPLE 11-2: NVM UNLOCK SEQUENCE

WR bit, which were required in previous

PIC16(L)F18326/18346
11.4.3 NVMREG WRITE TO EEPROM
Writing to the EEPROM is accomplished by the
following steps:
1. Set the NVMREGS and WREN bits of the
NVMCON1 register.
2. Write the desired address (address +7000h) into
the NVMADRH:NVMADRL register pair
(Table 11-2).
3. Perform the unlock sequence as described in
Section 11.4.2 “NVM Unlock Sequence”.
A single EEPROM byte is written with NVMDATA. The
operation includes an implicit erase cycle for that byte
(it is not necessary to set the FREE bit), and requires
many instruction cycles to finish. CPU execution
continues in parallel and, when complete, WR is
cleared by hardware, NVMIF is set, and an interrupt will
occur if NVMIE is also set. Software must poll the WR
bit to determine when writing is complete, or wait for the
interrupt to occur. WREN will remain unchanged.
Once the EEPROM write operation begins, clearing the
WR bit will have no effect; the operation will continue to
run to completion.
11.4.4 NVMREG ERASE OF PROGRAM
FLASH MEMORY
Program Flash Memory can only be erased one row at
a time. No automatic erase occurs upon the initiation of
the write to Program Flash Memory.
To erase a Program Flash Memory row:
1. Clear the NVMREGS bit of the NVMCON1
register to erase Program Flash Memory
locations, or set the NVMREGS bit to erase
User ID locations.
2. Write the desired address into the
NVMADRH:NVMADRL register pair
(Table 11-2).
3. Set the FREE and WREN bits of the NVMCON1
register.
4. Perform the unlock sequence as described in
Section 11.4.2 “NVM Unlock Sequence”.
If the Program Flash Memory address is
write-protected, the WR bit will be cleared and the
erase operation will not take place.
While erasing Program Flash Memory, CPU operation
is suspended, and resumes when the operation is
complete. Upon completion, the NVMIF is set, and an
interrupt will occur if the NVMIE bit is also set.
Write latch data are not affected by erase operations,
and WREN will remain unchanged.

11.4.5 NVMREG WRITE TO PROGRAM
FLASH MEMORY
Program memory is programmed using the following
steps:
1. Load the address of the row to be programmed
into NVMADRH:NVMADRL.
2. Load each write latch with data.
3. Initiate a programming operation.
4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 until all data are
written.
Before writing to program memory, the word(s) to be
written must be erased or previously unwritten.
Program memory can only be erased one row at a time.
No automatic erase occurs upon the initiation of the
write.
Program memory can be written one or more words at
a time. The maximum number of words written at one
time is equal to the number of write latches. See
Figure 11-4 (row writes to program memory with 32
write latches) for more details.
The write latches are aligned to the Flash row address
boundary defined by the upper ten bits of
NVMADRH:NVMADRL,
(NVMADRH<6:0>:NVMADRL<7:5>)
with the lower five bits of NVMADRL, (NVMADRL<4:0>)
determining the write latch being loaded. Write opera-
tions do not cross these boundaries. At the completion
of a program memory write operation, the data in the
write latches are reset to contain 0x3FFF.
The following steps should be completed to load the
write latches and program a row of program memory.
These steps are divided into two parts. First, each write
latch is loaded with data from the
NVMDATH:NVMDATL using the unlock sequence with
LWLO = 1. When the last word to be loaded into the
write latch is ready, the LWLO bit is cleared and the
unlock sequence executed. This initiates the
programming operation, writing all the latches into
Flash program memory.
1. Set the WREN bit of the NVMCON1 register.
2. Clear the NVMREGS bit of the NVMCON1
register.
3. Set the LWLO bit of the NVMCON1 register.
When the LWLO bit of the NVMCON1 register is
1’, the write sequence will only load the write
latches and will not initiate the write to Flash
program memory.
4. Load the NVMADRH:NVMADRL register pair
with the address of the location to be written.
5. Load the NVMDATH:NVMDATL register pair
with the program memory data to be written.
6. Execute the unlock sequence (Section 11.4.2
“NVM Unlock Sequence”). The write latch is
now loaded.
7. Increment the NVMADRH:NVMADRL register
pair to point to the next location.
8. Repeat steps 5 through 7 until all but the last
write latch has been loaded.
9. Clear the LWLO bit of the NVMCON1 register.
When the LWLO bit of the NVMCON1 register is
0’, the write sequence will initiate the write to
Flash program memory.
10. Load the NVMDATH:NVMDATL register pair
with the program memory data to be written.
11. Execute the unlock sequence (Section 11.4.2
“NVM Unlock Sequence”). The entire program
memory latch content is now written to Flash
program memory.
An example of the complete write sequence is shown in
Example 11-4. The initial address is loaded into the
NVMADRH:NVMADRL register pair; the data are loaded
using indirect addressing.
Note: The special unlock sequence is required
to load a write latch with data or initiate a
Flash programming operation. If the
unlock sequence is interrupted, writing to
the latches or program memory will not be
initiated.
Note: The program memory write latches are
reset to the blank state (0x3FFF) at the
completion of every write or erase
operation. As a result, it is not necessary
to load all the program memory write
latches. Unloaded latches will remain in
the blank state.

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

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

11.4.9 WRERR BIT
The WRERR bit can be used to determine if a write
error occurred.
WRERR will be set if one of the following conditions
occurs:
If WR is set while the NVMADRH:NMVADRL
points to a write-protected address
A Reset occurs while a self-write operation was in
progress
An unlock sequence was interrupted
The WRERR bit is normally set by hardware, but can
be set by the user for test purposes. Once set, WRERR
must be cleared in software.

12.0 I/O PORTS
Each port has ten standard registers for its operation.
These registers are:
PORTx registers (reads the levels on the pins of
the device)
LATx registers (output latch)
TRISx registers (data direction)
ANSELx registers (analog select)
WPUx registers (weak pull-up)
INLVLx (input level control)
SLRCONx registers (slew rate)
ODCONx registers (open-drain)
Most port pins share functions with device peripherals,
both analog and digital. In general, when a peripheral
is enabled on a port pin, that pin cannot be used as a
general purpose output; however, the pin can still be
read.
The Data Latch (LATx registers) is useful for
read-modify-write operations on the value that the I/O
pins are driving.
A write operation to the LATx register has the same
effect as a write to the corresponding PORTx register.
A read of the LATx register reads of the values held in
the I/O PORT latches, while a read of the PORTx
register reads the actual I/O pin value.
Ports that support analog inputs have an associated
ANSELx register. When an ANSEL bit is set, the digital
input buffer associated with that bit is disabled.
Disabling the input buffer prevents analog signal levels
on the pin between a logic high and low from causing
excessive current in the logic input circuitry. A
simplified model of a generic I/O port, without the
interfaces to other peripherals, is shown in Figure 12-1.
FIGURE 12-1: GENERIC I/O PORT
OPERATION
12.1 I/O Priorities
Each pin defaults to the PORT data latch after Reset.
Other functions are selected with the peripheral pin
select logic. See Section 13.0 “Peripheral Pin Select
(PPS) Module” for more information.
Analog input functions, such as ADC and comparator
inputs, are not shown in the peripheral pin select lists.
These inputs are active when the I/O pin is set for
Analog mode using the ANSELx register. Digital output
functions may continue to control the pin when it is in
Analog mode.
Analog outputs, when enabled, take priority over the
digital outputs and force the digital output driver to the
high-impedance state.

12.2 PORTA Registers
12.2.1 DATA REGISTER
PORTA is a 6-bit wide, bidirectional port. The
corresponding data direction register is TRISA
(Register 12-2). Setting a TRISA bit (= 1) will make the
corresponding PORTA pin an input (i.e., disable the
output driver). Clearing a TRISA bit (= 0) will make the
corresponding PORTA pin an output (i.e., enables
output driver and puts the contents of the output latch
on the selected pin). The exception is RA3, which is
input-only and its TRIS bit will always read as ‘1’.
Example 12-1 shows how to initialize PORTA.
Reading the PORTA register (Register 12-1) reads the
status of the pins, whereas writing to it will write to the
PORT latch. All write operations are read-modify-write
operations. Therefore, a write to a port implies that the
port pins are read, this value is modified and then
written to the PORT data latch (LATA).
The PORT data latch LATA (Register 12-3) holds the
output port data, and contains the latest value of a
LATA or PORTA write.
EXAMPLE 12-1: INITIALIZING PORTA
12.2.2 DIRECTION CONTROL
The TRISA register (Register 12-2) controls the
PORTA pin output drivers, even when they are being
used as analog inputs. The user should ensure the bits
in the TRISA register are maintained set when using
them as analog inputs. I/O pins configured as analog
inputs always read ‘0’.
12.2.3 OPEN-DRAIN CONTROL
The ODCONA register (Register 12-6) controls the
open-drain feature of the port. Open-drain operation is
independently selected for each pin. When an
ODCONA bit is set, the corresponding port output
becomes an open-drain driver capable of sinking
current only. When an ODCONA bit is cleared, the
corresponding port output pin is the standard push-pull
drive capable of sourcing and sinking current.
12.2.4 SLEW RATE CONTROL
The SLRCONA register (Register 12-7) controls the
slew rate option for each port pin. Slew rate control is
independently selectable for each port pin. When an
SLRCONA bit is set, the corresponding port pin drive is
slew rate limited. When an SLRCONA bit is cleared,
The corresponding port pin drive slews at the maximum
rate available.
12.2.5 INPUT THRESHOLD CONTROL
The INLVLA register (Register 12-8) controls the input
voltage threshold for each of the available PORTA input
pins. A selection between the Schmitt Trigger CMOS or
the TTL Compatible thresholds is available. The input
threshold is important in determining the value of a read
of the PORTA register and also the level at which an
interrupt-on-change occurs, if that feature is enabled.
See Table 35-4 for more information on threshold
levels.
; This code example illustrates
; initializing the PORTA register. The
; other ports are initialized in the same
; manner.

Note: It is not necessary to set open-drain
control when using the pin for I2C; the I2C
module controls the pin and makes the pin
open-drain.
Note: Changing the input threshold selection
should be performed while all peripheral
modules are disabled. Changing the
threshold level during the time a module is
active may inadvertently generate a
transition associated with an input pin,
regardless of the actual voltage level on
that pin.

DS40001839D-page 142 2016-2018 Microchip Technology Inc.
12.2.6 ANALOG CONTROL
The ANSELA register (Register 12-4) is used to
configure the Input mode of an I/O pin to analog.
Setting the appropriate ANSELA bit high will cause all
digital reads on the pin to be read as ‘0’ and allow
analog functions on the pin to operate correctly.
The state of the ANSELA bits has no effect on digital
output functions. A pin with TRIS clear and ANSEL set
will still operate as a digital output, but the Input mode
will be analog. This can cause unexpected behavior
when executing read-modify-write instructions on the
affected port.
12.2.7 WEAK PULL-UP CONTROL
The WPUA register (Register 12-5) controls the
individual weak pull-ups for each PORT pin.
PORTA pin RA3 includes the MCLR/VPP input. The
MCLR input allows the device to be reset, and can be
disabled by the MCLRE bit of Configuration Word 2. A
weak pull-up is present on the RA3 port pin. This weak
pull-up is enabled when MCLR is enabled (MCLRE = 1)
or the WPUA3 bit is set. The weak pull-up is disabled
when the MCLR is disabled and the WPUA3 bit is
cleared.
12.2.8 PORTA FUNCTIONS AND OUTPUT
PRIORITIES
Each PORTA pin is multiplexed with other functions.
Each pin defaults to the PORT latch data after Reset.
Other output functions are selected with the peripheral
pin select logic. See Section 13.0 “Peripheral Pin
Select (PPS) Module” for more information.
Analog input functions, such as ADC and comparator
inputs are not shown in the peripheral pin select lists.
Digital output functions may continue to control the pin
when it is in Analog mode.
Note: The ANSELA bits default to the Analog
mode after Reset. To use any pins as
digital general purpose or peripheral
inputs, the corresponding ANSEL bits
must be initialized to ‘0’ by user software.

12.4 PORTB Registers (PIC16(L)F18346
Only)
12.4.1 DATA REGISTER
PORTB is a 4-bit wide bidirectional port and is only
available in the PIC16(L)F18346 devices. The
corresponding data direction register is TRISB
(Register 12-10). 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., enable the
output driver and put the contents of the output latch on
the selected pin). Example 12-1 shows how to initialize
an I/O port.
Reading the PORTB register (Register 12-9) reads the
status of the pins, whereas writing to it will write to the
PORT latch. All write operations are read-modify-write
operations. Therefore, a write to a port implies that the
port pins are read; this value is modified and then
written to the PORT data latch (LATB).
The PORT data latch LATB (Register 12-11) holds the
output port data, and contains the latest value of a
LATB or PORTB write.
12.4.2 DIRECTION CONTROL
The TRISB register (Register 12-10) controls the
PORTB pin output drivers, even when they are being
used as analog inputs. The user should ensure the bits
in the TRISB register are maintained set when using
them as analog inputs. I/O pins configured as analog
inputs always read ‘0’.
12.4.3 INPUT THRESHOLD CONTROL
The INLVLB register (Register 12-16) controls the input
voltage threshold for each of the available PORTB
input pins. A selection between the Schmitt Trigger
CMOS or the TTL Compatible thresholds is available.
The input threshold is important in determining the
value of a read of the PORTB register and also the level
at which an interrupt-on-change occurs, if that feature
is enabled. See Table 35-4 for more information on
threshold levels.
12.4.4 OPEN-DRAIN CONTROL
The ODCONB register (Register 12-14) controls the
open-drain feature of the port. Open-drain operation is
independently selected for each pin. When an
ODCONB bit is set, the corresponding port output
becomes an open-drain driver capable of sinking
current only. When an ODCONB bit is cleared, the
corresponding port output pin is the standard push-pull
drive capable of sourcing and sinking current.
12.4.5 SLEW RATE CONTROL
The SLRCONB register (Register 12-15) controls the
slew rate option for each port pin. Slew rate control is
independently selectable for each port pin. When an
SLRCONB bit is set, the corresponding port pin drive is
slew rate limited. When an SLRCONB bit is cleared,
the corresponding port pin drive slews at the maximum
rate possible.
12.4.6 ANALOG CONTROL
The ANSELB register (Register 12-12) is used to
configure the Input mode of an I/O pin to analog.
Setting the appropriate ANSELB bit high will cause all
digital reads on the pin to be read as ‘0’ and allow
analog functions on the pin to operate correctly.
The state of the ANSELB bits has no effect on digital
output functions. A pin with TRIS clear and ANSELB
set will still operate as a digital output, but the Input
mode will be analog. This can cause unexpected
behavior when executing read-modify-write
instructions on the affected port.
12.4.7 WEAK PULL-UP CONTROL
The WPUB register (Register 12-13) controls the
individual weak pull-ups for each PORT pin.
12.4.8 PORTB FUNCTIONS AND OUTPUT
PRIORITIES
Each pin defaults to the PORT latch data after Reset.
Other output functions are selected with the peripheral
pin select logic. See Section 13.0 “Peripheral Pin
Select (PPS) Module” for more information.
Analog input functions, such as ADC and comparator
inputs, are not shown in the peripheral pin select lists.
Digital output functions may continue to control the pin
when it is in Analog mode.
Note: Changing the input threshold selection
should be performed while all peripheral
modules are disabled. Changing the
threshold level during the time a module is
active may inadvertently generate a
transition associated with an input pin,
regardless of the actual voltage level on
that pin.
Note: It is not necessary to set open-drain
control when using the pin for I2C; the I2C
module controls the pin and makes the pin
open-drain.
Note: The ANSELB bits default to the Analog
mode after Reset. To use any pins as
digital general purpose or peripheral
inputs, the corresponding ANSEL bits
must be initialized to ‘0’ by user software.

12.6 PORTC Registers
12.6.1 DATA REGISTER
PORTC is a bidirectional port that is either 6-bit wide
(PIC16(L)F18326) or 8-bit wide (PIC16(L)F18346). The
corresponding data direction register is TRISC
(Register 12-18). Setting a TRISC bit (= 1) will make the
corresponding PORTC pin an input (i.e., put the
corresponding output driver in a High-Impedance mode).
Clearing a TRISC bit (= 0) will make the corresponding
PORTC pin an output (i.e., enable the output driver and
put the contents of the output latch on the selected pin).
Example 12-1 shows how to initialize an I/O port.
Reading the PORTC register (Register 12-17) reads the
status of the pins, whereas writing to it will write to the
PORT latch. All write operations are read-modify-write
operations. Therefore, a write to a port implies that the
port pins are read, this value is modified and then written
to the PORT data latch (LATC).
The PORT data latch LATC (Register 12-19) holds the
output port data, and contains the latest value of a LATC
or PORTC write.
12.6.2 DIRECTION CONTROL
The TRISC register (Register 12-18) controls the
PORTC pin output drivers, even when they are being
used as analog inputs. The user should ensure the bits in
the TRISC register are maintained set when using them
as analog inputs. I/O pins configured as analog inputs
always read ‘0’.
12.6.3 INPUT THRESHOLD CONTROL
The INLVLC register (Register 12-24) controls the input
voltage threshold for each of the available PORTC
input pins. A selection between the Schmitt Trigger
CMOS or the TTL Compatible thresholds is available.
The input threshold is important in determining the
value of a read of the PORTC register and also the
level at which an interrupt-on-change occurs, if that
feature is enabled. See Table 35-4 for more information
on threshold levels.
12.6.4 OPEN-DRAIN CONTROL
The ODCONC register (Register 12-22) controls the
open-drain feature of the port. Open-drain operation is
independently selected for each pin. When an
ODCONC bit is set, the corresponding port output
becomes an open-drain driver capable of sinking

The corresponding port pin drive slews at the maximum
rate possible.
12.6.6 ANALOG CONTROL
The ANSELC register (Register 12-20) is used to
configure the Input mode of an I/O pin to analog.
Setting the appropriate ANSELC bit high will cause all
digital reads on the pin to be read as ‘0’ and allow
analog functions on the pin to operate correctly.
The state of the ANSELC bits has no effect on digital out-
put functions. A pin with TRIS clear and ANSELC set will
still operate as a digital output, but the Input mode will be
analog. This can cause unexpected behavior when exe-
cuting read-modify-write instructions on the affected
port.
12.6.7 WEAK PULL-UP CONTROL
The WPUC register (Register 12-21) controls the
individual weak pull-ups for each PORT pin.
12.6.8 PORTC FUNCTIONS AND OUTPUT
PRIORITIES
Each pin defaults to the PORT latch data after Reset.
Other functions are selected with the peripheral pin

13.0 PERIPHERAL PIN SELECT
(PPS) MODULE
The Peripheral Pin Select (PPS) module connects
peripheral inputs and outputs to the device I/O pins.
Only digital signals are included in the selections. All
analog inputs and outputs remain fixed to their
assigned pins. Input and output selections are
independent as shown in the simplified block diagram
Figure 13-1.
13.1 PPS Inputs
Each peripheral has a PPS register with which the
inputs to the peripheral are selected. Inputs include the
device pins.
Although every peripheral has its own PPS input selec-
tion register, the selections are identical for every
peripheral as shown in Register 13-1.
13.2 PPS Outputs
Each I/O pin has a PPS register with which the pin
output source is selected. With few exceptions, the port
TRIS control associated with that pin retains control
over the pin output driver. Peripherals that control the
pin output driver as part of the peripheral operation will
override the TRIS control as needed. These
peripherals are:
EUSART1 (synchronous operation)
MSSP (I2C)
Although every pin has its own PPS peripheral
selection register, the selections are identical for every
pin as shown in Register 13-2.
FIGURE 13-1: SIMPLIFIED PPS BLOCK DIAGRAM
Note: The notation “xxx” in the register name is
a place holder for the peripheral identifier.
For example, CLC1PPS.
Note: The notation “Rxy” is a place holder for the
pin identifier. For example, RA0PPS.

PIC16(L)F18326/18346
13.3 Bidirectional Pins
PPS selections for peripherals with bidirectional
signals on a single pin must be made so that the PPS
input and PPS output select the same pin. This
requires configuring both the appropriate xxxPPS input
and RxyPPS output registers. For example, if the SCL1
line is routed to pin RC0, the SSP1SCLPPS input
register would be set to '10000' (routes to RC0) and the
RC0PPS output register would be set to '11000'
(routes the SCL1 internal connection to RC0).
Peripherals that have bidirectional signals are:
EUSART1 (synchronous operation)
MSSP (I2C)
13.4 PPSLOCKED Bit
The PPS includes a mode in which all input and output
selections can be locked to prevent inadvertent
changes. PPS selections are locked by setting the
PPSLOCKED bit of the PPSLOCK register. Setting and
clearing this bit requires a special sequence as an extra
precaution against inadvertent changes. Examples of
setting and clearing the PPSLOCKED bit are shown in
Example 13-1.
EXAMPLE 13-1: PPS LOCK/UNLOCK
SEQUENCE
13.5 PPS1WAY Bit
The PPS can be locked by setting the PPS1WAY bit of
Configuration Word 2.
When the PPS1WAY bit is set, the PPSLOCKED bit of
the PPSLOCK register can be cleared and set only one
time after a device Reset. Once the PPS registers are
configured, user software sets the PPSLOCKED bit,
preventing any further writes to the PPS registers. the
PPS registers can be read at any time, regardless of
the PPS1WAY or PPSLOCKED settings.
When the PPS1WAY bit is clear, the PPSLOCKED bit
of the PPSLOCK register can be cleared and set
multiple times during code execution, but requires the
PPS lock/unlock sequence to be performed each time
modifications to the PPS registers are made.
13.6 Operation During Sleep
PPS input and output selections are unaffected by
Sleep.
13.7 Effects of a Reset
A device Power-On-Reset (POR) clears all PPS input
and output selections to their default values, and clears
the PPSLOCKED bit of the PPSLOCK register. All other
Resets leave the selections unchanged. Default input
selections are shown in pin allocation Table 2 and
Table 3.
Note: The I2C default input pins are I2C and
SMBus compatible and are the only pins
on the PIC16(L)F18326 with this compati-
bility. For the PIC16(L)F18346, in addition
to the default pins as described above,
RC0, RC1, RC4, and RC5 are also I2C
and SMBus compatible. Clock and data
signals can be routed to any pin, however
pins without I2C compatibility will operate
at standard TTL/ST logic levels as
selected by the INVLV register.

14.0 PERIPHERAL MODULE
DISABLE
The PIC16(L)F18326/18346 provides the ability to
disable selected modules, placing them into the lowest
possible power mode.
For legacy reasons, all modules are ON by default
following any Reset.
14.1 Disabling a Module
Disabling a module has the following effects:
All clock and control inputs to the module are sus-
pended; there are no logic transitions, and the
module will not function.
The module is held in Reset.
- Writing to the SFRs is disabled
- Reads return 00h
Analog outputs are disabled; Digital outputs read
0
14.2 Enabling a Module
When the register bit is cleared, the module is re-
enabled and will be in its Reset state; SFR data will
reflect the POR Reset values.
Depending on the module, it may take up to one full
instruction cycle for the module to become active.
There should be no interaction with the module (e.g.,
writing to registers) for at least one instruction after it
has been re-enabled.
14.3 System Clock Disable
Setting SYSCMD (PMD0, Register 14-1) disables the
system clock (FOSC) distribution network to the
peripherals. Not all peripherals make use of SYSCLK,
so not all peripherals are affected. Refer to the specific
peripheral description to see if it will be affected by this
bit.

15.0 INTERRUPT-ON-CHANGE
All pins on all ports can be configured to operate as
Interrupt-On-Change (IOC) pins. An interrupt can be
generated by detecting a signal that has either a rising
edge or a falling edge. Any individual pin, or combination
of pins, can be configured to generate an interrupt. The
interrupt-on-change module has the following features:
Interrupt-on-Change enable
- Rising and falling edge detection
Individual pin configuration
Individual pin interrupt flags
Figure 15-1 is a block diagram of the IOC module.
15.1 Enabling the Module
To allow individual pins to generate an interrupt, the
IOCIE bit of the PIE0 register must be set. If the IOCIE
bit is disabled, the edge detection on the pin will still
occur, but an interrupt will not be generated.
15.2 Individual Pin Configuration
For each pin, a rising edge detector and a falling edge
detector are present. To enable a pin to detect a rising
edge, the associated bit of the IOCxP register is set. To
enable a pin to detect a falling edge, the associated bit
of the IOCxN register is set.
A pin can be configured to detect rising and falling
edges simultaneously by setting the associated bits in
both of the IOCxP and IOCxN registers.
15.3 Interrupt Flags
The bits located in the IOCxF registers are status flags
that correspond to the interrupt-on-change pins of each
port. If an expected edge is detected on an appropriately
enabled pin, then the status flag for that pin will be set,
and an interrupt will be generated if the IOCIE bit is set.
The IOCIF bit of the PIR0 register reflects the status of
all IOCxF bits.
15.4 Clearing Interrupt Flags
The individual status flags, (IOCxF register bits), can be
cleared by resetting them to zero. If another edge is
detected during this clearing operation, the associated
status flag will be set at the end of the sequence,
regardless of the value actually being written.
In order to ensure that no detected edge is lost while
clearing flags, only AND operations masking out known
changed bits should be performed. The following
sequence is an example of what should be performed.
EXAMPLE 15-1: CLEARING INTERRUPT
FLAGS
(PORTA EXAMPLE)
15.5 Operation in Sleep
The interrupt-on-change interrupt event will wake the
device from Sleep mode, if the IOCIE bit is set.
If an edge is detected while in Sleep mode, the affected
IOCxF register will be updated prior to the first instruction
executed out of Sleep.

16.0 FIXED VOLTAGE REFERENCE
(FVR)
The Fixed Voltage Reference, or FVR, is a stable
voltage reference, independent of VDD, with 1.024V,
2.048V or 4.096V selectable output levels. The output
of the FVR subsystem can be configured to supply a
reference voltage to the following:
ADC input channel
ADC positive reference
Comparator positive input
Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC)
The FVR can be enabled by setting the FVREN bit of
the FVRCON register.
16.1 Independent Gain Amplifiers
The output of the FVR, which is supplied to the ADC,
Comparators and DAC, is routed through two
independent programmable gain amplifiers. Each
amplifier can be programmed for a gain of 1x, 2x or 4x,
to produce the three possible voltage levels.
The ADFVR<1:0> bits of the FVRCON register are
used to enable and configure the gain amplifier settings
for the reference supplied to the ADC module.
Reference Section 22.0 “Analog-to-Digital
Converter (ADC) Module” for additional information.
The CDAFVR<1:0> bits of the FVRCON register are
used to enable and configure the gain amplifier settings
for the reference supplied to the DAC and comparator
module. Reference Section 24.0 “5-bit
Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC1) Module” and
Section 19.0 “Comparator Module” for additional
information.
16.2 FVR Stabilization Period
When the Fixed Voltage Reference module is enabled, it
requires time for the reference and amplifier circuits to
stabilize. See Table 35-16 for FVR start-up times.

17.0 TEMPERATURE INDICATOR
MODULE
This family of devices is equipped with a temperature
circuit designed to measure the operating temperature
of the silicon die. The circuit’s range of operating
temperature falls between -40°C and +85°C. The
output is a voltage that is proportional to the device
temperature. The output of the temperature indicator is
internally connected to the device ADC.
The circuit may be used as a temperature threshold
detector or a more accurate temperature indicator,
depending on the level of calibration performed. A one-
point calibration allows the circuit to indicate a
temperature closely surrounding that point. A two-point
calibration allows the circuit to sense the entire range
of temperature more accurately. Reference Application

Module” (DS00002092) for more details regarding the
calibration process.
17.1 Circuit Operation
Figure 17-1 shows a simplified block diagram of the
temperature circuit. The proportional voltage output is
achieved by measuring the forward voltage drop across
multiple silicon junctions.
Equation 17-1 describes the output characteristics of
the temperature indicator.
EQUATION 17-1: VOUT RANGES
The temperature sense circuit is integrated with the
Fixed Voltage Reference (FVR) module. See
Section 16.0 “Fixed Voltage Reference (FVR)” for
more information.
The circuit is enabled by setting the TSEN bit of the
FVRCON register. When disabled, the circuit draws no
current.
The circuit operates in either high or low range. The high
range, selected by setting the TSRNG bit of the
FVRCON register, provides a wider output voltage. This
provides more resolution over the temperature range.
This range requires a higher bias voltage to operate and
thus, a higher VDD is needed.
The low range is selected by clearing the TSRNG bit of
the FVRCON register. The low range generates a lower
voltage drop and thus, a lower VDD voltage is needed to
operate the circuit. The low range is provided for low
voltage operation.
FIGURE 17-1: TEMPERATURE CIRCUIT
DIAGRAM
17.2 Minimum Operating VDD
When the temperature circuit is operated in low range,
the device may be operated at any operating voltage
that is within specifications.
When the temperature circuit is operated in high range,
the device operating voltage, VDD, must be high
enough to ensure that the temperature circuit is
correctly biased.
Table 17-1 shows the recommended minimum VDD vs.
range setting.
17.3 Temperature Output
The output of the circuit is measured using the internal
Analog-to-Digital Converter. A channel is provided for
the temperature circuit output. Refer to Section 22.0
“Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) Module” for
detailed information.

18.0 PULSE-WIDTH MODULATION
(PWM)
The PWMx modules generate Pulse-Width Modulated
(PWM) signals of varying frequency and duty cycle.
In addition to the CCP modules, the
PIC16(L)F18326/18346 devices contain two PWM
modules.
Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) is a scheme that
provides power to a load by switching quickly between
fully on and fully off states. The PWM signal resembles
a square wave where the high portion of the signal is
considered the ON state (pulse width), and the low
portion of the signal is considered the OFF state. The
term duty cycle describes the proportion of the ON time
to the OFF time and is expressed in percentages,
where 0% is fully OFF and 100% is fully ON. A lower
duty cycle corresponds to less power applied and a
higher duty cycle corresponds to more power applied.
The PWM period is defined as the duration of one
complete cycle or the total amount of on and off time
combined.
PWM resolution defines the maximum number of steps
that can be present in a single PWM period. A higher
resolution allows for more precise control of the
pulse-width time and in turn the power that is applied to
the load.
Figure 18-1 shows a typical waveform of the PWM
signal.
FIGURE 18-1: PWM OUTPUT
18.1 Standard PWM Mode
The standard PWM mode generates a Pulse-Width
Modulation (PWM) signal on the PWMx pin with up to
ten bits of resolution. The period, duty cycle, and
resolution are controlled by the following registers:
TMR2, TMR4 or TMR6 registers
PR2, PR4 or PR6 registers
PWMxCON registers
PWMxDCH registers
PWMxDCL registers
Figure 29-2 shows a simplified block diagram of the
PWM operation.
If PWMPOL = 0, the default state of the output is ‘0‘. If
PWMPOL = 1, the default state is ‘1’. If PWMEN = 0,
the output will be the default state.

Note: The formulas and text refer to TMR2 and
PR2, for simplicity. The same formulas
and text apply to TMR4/6 and PR4/6. The
timer sources can be selected in
Register 18-4. For additional information
on TMR2/4/6, refer to Section 28.0

FIGURE 18-2: SIMPLIFIED PWM BLOCK DIAGRAM
18.1.1 PWM PERIOD
Referring to Figure 18-1, the PWM output has a period
and a pulse width. The frequency of the PWM is the
inverse of the period (1/period).
The PWM period is specified by writing to the PR2
register. The PWM period can be calculated using the
following formula:
EQUATION 18-1: PWM PERIOD
When TMR2 is equal to PR2, the following three events
occur on the next increment cycle:
TMR2 is cleared
The PWMx pin is set (Exception: If the PWM duty
cycle = 0%, the pin will not be set.)
The PWM pulse width is latched from PWMxDC.
18.1.2 PWM DUTY CYCLE
The PWM duty cycle is specified by writing a 10-bit
value to the PWMxDC register. The PWMxDCH
contains the eight MSbs and bits <7:6> of the
PWMxDCL register contain the two LSbs.
The PWMDC register is double-buffered and can be
updated at any time. This double buffering is essential
for glitch-free PWM operation. New values take effect
when TMR2 = PR2. Note that PWMDC is left-justified.
The 8-bit timer TMR2 register is concatenated with
either the 2-bit internal system clock (FOSC), or two bits
of the prescaler, to create the 10-bit time base. The
system clock is used if the Timer2 prescaler is set to
1:1.
Equation 18-2 is used to calculate the PWM pulse
width.
Equation 18-3 is used to calculate the PWM duty cycle
ratio.

18.1.3 PWM RESOLUTION
PWM resolution, expressed in number of bits, defines
the maximum number of discrete steps that can be
present in a single PWM period. For example, a 10-bit
resolution will result in 1024 discrete steps, whereas an
8-bit resolution will result in 256 discrete steps.
The maximum PWM resolution is ten bits when PR2 is
255. The resolution is a function of the PR2 register
value as shown by Equation 18-4.
EQUATION 18-4: PWM RESOLUTION
18.1.4 OPERATION IN SLEEP MODE
In Sleep mode, the TMR2 register will not increment
and the state of the module will not change. If the
PWMx pin is driving a value, it will continue to drive that
value. When the device wakes up, TMR2 will continue
from its previous state.
18.1.5 CHANGES IN SYSTEM CLOCK
FREQUENCY
The PWM frequency is derived from the system clock
frequency. Any changes in the system clock frequency
will result in changes to the PWM frequency. See
Section 7.0, Oscillator Module for additional details.
18.1.6 EFFECTS OF RESET
Any Reset will force all ports to Input mode and the
PWMx registers to their Reset states.
18.1.7 SETUP FOR PWM OPERATION
The following steps will be taken when configuring the
module for using the PWMx outputs:
1. Disable the PWMx pin output driver(s) by setting
the associated TRIS bit(s).
2. Configure the PWM output polarity by
configuring the PWMxPOL bit of the PWMxCON
register.
3. Load the PR2 register with the PWM period
value, as determined by Equation 18-1.
4. Load the PWMxDCH register and bits <7:6> of
the PWMxDCL register with the PWM duty cycle
value, as determined by Equation 18-2.
5. Configure and start Timer2:
Clear the TMR2IF interrupt flag bit of the
PIR1 register.
Select the Timer2 prescale value by
configuring the T2CKPS bit of the T2CON
register.
Enable Timer2 by setting the TMR2ON bit of
the T2CON register.
6. Wait until the TMR2IF is set.
7. When the TMR2IF flag bit is set:
Clear the associated TRIS bit(s) to enable
the output driver.
Route the signal to the desired pin by
configuring the RxyPPS register.
Enable the PWMx module by setting the
PWMxEN bit of the PWMxCON register.
In order to send a complete duty cycle and period on
the first PWM output, the above steps must be followed
in the order given. If it is not critical to start with a
complete PWM signal, then the PWM module can be
enabled during Step 2 by setting the PWMxEN bit of the
PWMxCON register.
Note: If the pulse-width value is greater than the
period, the assigned PWM pin(s) will
remain unchanged.

19.0 COMPARATOR MODULE
Comparators are used to interface analog circuits to a
digital circuit by comparing two analog voltages and
providing a digital indication of their relative magnitudes.
Comparators are very useful mixed signal building
blocks because they provide analog functionality
independent of program execution. The analog
comparator module includes the following features:
Programmable input selection
- Selectable voltage reference
Programmable output polarity
Rising/falling output edge interrupts
Wake-up from Sleep
CWG Auto-shutdown source
19.1 Comparator Overview
A single comparator is shown in Figure 19-1 along with
the relationship between the analog input levels and
the digital output. When the analog voltage at VIN+ is
less than the analog voltage at VIN-, the output of the
comparator is a digital low level. When the analog
voltage at VIN+ is greater than the analog voltage at
VIN-, the output of the comparator is a digital high level.
The comparators available for this device are located in
Table 19-1.

19.2 Comparator Control
Each comparator has two control registers: CMxCON0
and CMxCON1.
The CMxCON0 register (see Register 19-1) contains
Control and Status bits for the following:
Enable
Output
Output polarity
Hysteresis enable
Timer1 output synchronization
The CMxCON1 register (see Register 19-2) contains
Control bits for the following:
Interrupt on positive/negative edge enables
Positive input channel selection
Negative input channel selection
19.2.1 COMPARATOR ENABLE
Setting the CxON bit of the CMxCON0 register enables
the comparator for operation. Clearing the CxON bit
disables the comparator resulting in minimum current
consumption.
19.2.2 COMPARATOR OUTPUT
The output of the comparator can be monitored by
reading either the CxOUT bit of the CMxCON0 register
or the MCxOUT bit of the CMOUT register.
The comparator output can also be routed to an
external pin through the RxyPPS register
(Register 13-2). The corresponding TRIS bit must be
clear to enable the pin as an output.
19.2.3 COMPARATOR OUTPUT POLARITY
Inverting the output of the comparator is functionally
equivalent to swapping the comparator inputs. The
polarity of the comparator output can be inverted by
setting the CxPOL bit of the CMxCON0 register.
Clearing the CxPOL bit results in a noninverted output.
Table 19-2 shows the output state versus input
conditions, including polarity control.
19.3 Comparator Hysteresis
A selectable amount of separation voltage can be
added to the input pins of each comparator to provide a
hysteresis function to the overall operation. Hysteresis
is enabled by setting the CxHYS bit of the CMxCON0
register.
See Comparator Specifications in Table 35-14 for more
information.
19.4 Timer1 Gate Operation
The output resulting from a comparator operation can
be used as a source for gate control of Timer1. See
Section 27.6 “Timer1 Gate” for more information.
This feature is useful for timing the duration or interval
of an analog event.
It is recommended that the comparator output be
synchronized to Timer1. This ensures that Timer1 does
not increment while a change in the comparator is
occurring.
19.4.1 COMPARATOR OUTPUT
SYNCHRONIZATION
The output from a comparator can be synchronized
with Timer1 by setting the CxSYNC bit of the
CMxCON0 register.
Once enabled, the comparator output is latched on the
falling edge of the Timer1 source clock.This allows the
timer/counter to synchronize with the CxOUT bit so that
the software sees no ambiguity due to timing. See the
Comparator Block Diagram (Figure 19-2) and the
Timer1 Block Diagram (Figure 27-1) for more
information.
Note 1: The internal output of the comparator is
latched with each instruction cycle.
Unless otherwise specified, external
outputs are not latched.

PIC16(L)F18326/18346
19.5 Comparator Interrupt
An interrupt can be generated when either the rising
edge or falling edge detector detects a change in the
output value of each comparator.
When either edge detector is triggered and its
associated enable bit is set (CxINTP and/or CxINTN
bits of the CMxCON1 register), the Corresponding
Interrupt Flag bit (CxIF bit of the PIR2 register) will be
set.
To enable the interrupt, you must set the following bits:
CxON bit of the CMxCON0 register
CxIE bit of the PIE2 register
CxINTP bit of the CMxCON1 register (for a rising
edge detection)
CxINTN bit of the CMxCON1 register (for a falling
edge detection)
PEIE and GIE bits of the INTCON register
The associated interrupt flag bit, CxIF bit of the PIR2
register, must be cleared in software. If another edge is
detected while this flag is being cleared, the flag will still
be set at the end of the sequence.
19.6 Comparator Positive Input
Selection
Configuring the CxPCH<2:0> bits of the CMxCON1
register directs an internal voltage reference or an
analog pin to the noninverting input of the comparator:
CxIN0+ analog pin
DAC output
FVR (Fixed Voltage Reference)
•V
SS (Ground)
See Section 16.0 “Fixed Voltage Reference (FVR)”
for more information on the Fixed Voltage Reference
module.
See Section 24.0 “5-bit Digital-to-Analog Converter
(DAC1) Module” for more information on the DAC
input signal.
Any time the comparator is disabled (CxON = 0), all
comparator inputs are disabled.
19.7 Comparator Negative Input
Selection
The CxNCH<2:0> bits of the CMxCON1 register direct
an analog input pin and internal reference voltage or
analog ground to the inverting input of the comparator:
CxIN- pin
FVR (Fixed Voltage Reference)
Analog Ground
19.8 Comparator Response Time
The comparator output is indeterminate for a period of
time after the change of an input source or the selection
of a new reference voltage. This period is referred to as
the response time. The response time of the comparator
differs from the settling time of the voltage reference.
Therefore, both of these times must be considered when
determining the total response time to a comparator
input change. See the Comparator and Voltage
Reference Specifications in Table 35-14 for more
details.
Note: Although a comparator is disabled, an
interrupt can be generated by changing
the output polarity with the CxPOL bit of
the CMxCON0 register, or by switching
the comparator on or off with the CxON bit
of the CMxCON0 register.
Note: To use CxINy+ and CxINy- pins as analog
input, the appropriate bits must be set in
the ANSEL register and the
corresponding TRIS bits must also be set

19.9 Analog Input Connection
Considerations
A simplified circuit for an analog input is shown in
Figure 19-3. Since the analog input pins share their
connection with a digital input, they have reverse
biased ESD protection diodes to VDD and VSS. The
analog input, therefore, must be between VSS and VDD.
If the input voltage deviates from this range by more
than 0.6V in either direction, one of the diodes is
forward biased and a latch-up may occur.
A maximum source impedance of 10 k is recommended
for the analog sources. Also, any external component
connected to an analog input pin, such as a capacitor or
a Zener diode, may have very little leakage current to
minimize inaccuracies introduced.
FIGURE 19-3: ANALOG INPUT MODEL
Note 1: When reading a PORT register, all pins
configured as analog inputs will read as a
0’. Pins configured as digital inputs will
provide an input based on their level as
either a TTL or ST input buffer.
2: Analog levels on any pin defined as a
digital input, may cause the input buffer to
consume more current than is specified.

19.10 CWG Auto-shutdown Source
The output of the comparator module can be used as
an auto-shutdown source for the CWG module. When
the output of the comparator is active and the
corresponding ASxE is enabled, the CWG operation
will be suspended immediately (Section 20.7.1.2
“External Input Source Shutdown”).
19.11 Operation in Sleep Mode
The comparator module can operate during Sleep. The
comparator clock source is based on the Timer1 clock
source. If the Timer1 clock source is either the system
clock (FOSC) or the instruction clock (FOSC/4), Timer1
will not operate during Sleep, and synchronized
comparator outputs will not operate.
A comparator interrupt will wake the device from Sleep.
The CxIE bits of the PIE2 register must be set to enable
comparator interrupts.

20.0 COMPLEMENTARY WAVEFORM
GENERATOR (CWG) MODULE
The Complementary Waveform Generator (CWGx)
produces complementary waveforms with dead-band
delay from a selection of input sources.
The CWGx module has the following features:
Selectable dead-band clock source control
Selectable input sources
Output enable control
Output polarity control
Dead-band control with independent 6-bit rising
and falling edge dead-band counters
Auto-shutdown control with:
- Selectable shutdown sources
- Auto-restart enable
- Auto-shutdown pin override control
20.1 Fundamental Operation
The CWG generates two output waveforms from the
selected input source.
The off-to-on transition of each output can be delayed
from the on-to-off transition of the other output, thereby,
creating a time delay immediately where neither output
is driven. This is referred to as dead time and is covered
in Section 20.6 “Dead-Band Control”.
It may be necessary to guard against the possibility of
circuit faults or a feedback event arriving too late or not
at all. In this case, the active drive must be terminated
before the Fault condition causes damage. This is
referred to as auto-shutdown and is covered in
Section 20.7 “Auto-Shutdown Control”.
20.2 Operating Modes
The CWGx module can operate in six different modes,
as specified by the MODE<2:0> bits of the
CWGxCON0 register:
Half-Bridge mode
Push-Pull mode
Asynchronous Steering mode
Synchronous Steering mode
Full-Bridge mode, Forward
Full-Bridge mode, Reverse
All modes accept a single pulse data input, and
provide up to four outputs as described in the following
sections.
All modes include auto-shutdown control as described
in Section 20.11 “Register Definitions: CWG
Control”
20.2.1 HALF-BRIDGE MODE
In Half-Bridge mode, two output signals are generated
as true and inverted versions of the input as illustrated
in Figure 20-1. A non-overlap (dead-band) time is
inserted between the two outputs as described in
Section 20.6 “Dead-Band Control”. Steering modes
are not used in Half-Bridge mode.
The unused outputs, CWGxC and CWGxD, drive
similar signals with polarity independently controlled by
POLC and POLD, respectively.
FIGURE 20-1: CWGx HALF-BRIDGE MODE OPERATION
Note: Except as noted for Full-bridge mode
(Section 20.2.4 “Full-Bridge Modes”),
mode changes may only be performed
while EN = 0 (Register 20-1).

20.2.2 PUSH-PULL MODE
In Push-Pull mode, two output signals are generated,
alternating copies of the input as illustrated in
Figure 20-2. This alternation creates the push-pull
effect required for driving some transformer based
power supply designs. Dead-band control is not used in
Push-Pull mode. Steering modes are not used in
Push-Pull mode.
The push-pull sequencer is reset whenever EN = 0 or
if an auto-shutdown event occurs. The sequencer is
clocked by the first input pulse, and the first output
appears on CWGxA.
The unused outputs CWGxC and CWGxD drive copies
of CWGxA and CWGxB, respectively, but with polarity
controlled by POLC and POLD.
FIGURE 20-2: CWGx PUSH-PULL MODE OPERATION
20.2.3 STEERING MODES
In both Synchronous and Asynchronous Steering
modes, the modulated input signal can be steered to
any combination of four CWG outputs and a fixed-value
will be presented on all the outputs not used for the
PWM output. Each output has independent polarity,
steering, and shutdown options. Dead-band control is
not used in either Steering mode.
When STRy = 0 (Register 20-5), the corresponding pin
is held at the level defined by SDATy (Register 20-5).
When STRy = 1, the pin is driven by the modulated
input signal.
The POLy bits (Register 20-2) control the signal
polarity only when STRy = 1.
The CWG auto-shutdown operation also applies to
Steering modes as described in Section 20.11
“Register Definitions: CWG Control”.

PIC16(L)F18326/18346
20.2.3.1 Synchronous Steering Mode
In Synchronous Steering mode (MODE<2:0> bits
=001, Register 20-1), changes to steering selection
registers take effect on the next rising edge of the
modulated data input (Figure 20-3). In Synchronous
Steering mode, the output will always produce a
complete waveform.
FIGURE 20-3: EXAMPLE OF SYNCHRONOUS STEERING (MODE<2:0> = 001)
20.2.3.2 Asynchronous Steering Mode
In Asynchronous mode (MODE<2:0> bits = 000,
Register 20-1), steering takes effect at the end of the
instruction cycle that writes to WGxSTR. In
Asynchronous Steering mode, the output signal may
be an incomplete waveform (Register 20-4). This
operation may be useful when the user firmware needs
to immediately remove a signal from the output pin.
FIGURE 20-4: EXAMPLE OF ASYNCHRONOUS STEERING (MODE<2:0> = 000)
20.2.3.3 Start-up Considerations
The application hardware must use the proper external
pull-up and/or pull-down resistors on the CWG output
pins. This is required because all I/O pins are forced to
high-impedance at Reset.
The POLy bits (Register 20-2) allow the user to choose
whether the output signals are active-high or active-
low.

20.2.4 FULL-BRIDGE MODES
In Forward and Reverse Full-Bridge modes, three out-
puts drive static values while the fourth is modulated by
the data input. Dead-band control is described in
Section 20.2.3 “Steering Modes” and Section 20.6
“Dead-Band Control”. Steering modes are not used
with either of the Full-Bridge modes.
The mode selection may be toggled between forward
and reverse (changing MODE<2:0>) without clearing
EN.
When connected as shown in Figure 20-5, the outputs
are appropriate for a full-bridge motor driver. Each
CWG output signal has independent polarity control, so
the circuit can be adapted to high-active and low-active
drivers.

20.2.4.1 Full-Bridge Forward Mode
In Full-Bridge Forward mode (MODE<2:0> = 010),
CWGxA is driven to its Active state and CWGxD is
modulated while CWGxB and CWGxC are driven to
their Inactive state, as illustrated at the top
of Figure 20-6.
20.2.4.2 Full-Bridge Reverse Mode
In Full-Bridge Reverse mode (MODE<2:0> = 011),
CWGxC is driven to its Active state and CWGxB is
modulated while CWGxA and CWGxD are driven to
their Inactive state, as illustrated at the bottom of
Figure 20-6.
FIGURE 20-6: EXAMPLE OF FULL-BRIDGE OUTPUT
20.2.4.3 Direction Change in Full-Bridge
Mode
In Full-Bridge mode, changing MODE<2:0> controls
the forward/reverse direction. Changes to MODE<2:0>
change to the new direction on the next rising edge of
the modulated input.
A direction change is initiated in software by changing
the MODE<2:0> bits of the WGxCON0 register. The
sequence is illustrated in Figure 20-7.
The associated active output CWGxA and the
inactive output CWGxC are switched to drive in
the opposite direction.
The previously modulated output CWGxD is
switched to the inactive state, and the previously
inactive output CWGxB begins to modulate.
CWG modulation resumes after the
direction-switch dead band has elapsed.
Note 1: A rising CWG data input creates a rising event on the modulated output.
2: Output signals shown as active-high; all POLy bits are clear.

20.2.4.4 Dead-Band Delay in Full-Bridge
Mode
Dead-band delay is important when either of the
following conditions is true:
1. The direction of the CWG output changes when
the duty cycle of the data input is at or near
100%, or
2. The turn-off time of the power switch, including
the power device and driver circuit, is greater
than the turn-on time.
The dead-band delay is inserted only when changing
directions, and only the modulated output is affected.
The statically-configured outputs (CWGxA and
CWGxC) are not afforded dead band, and switch
essentially simultaneously.
Figure 20-7 shows an example of the CWG outputs
changing directions from forward to reverse, at near
100% duty cycle. In this example, at time t1, the output
of CWGxA and CWGxD become inactive, while output
CWGxC becomes active. Since the turn-off time of the
power devices is longer than the turn-on time, a shoot-
through current will flow through power devices QC and
QD for the duration of ‘t’. The same phenomenon will
occur to power devices QA and QB for the CWG
direction change from reverse to forward.
If changing the CWG direction at high duty cycle is
required for an application, two possible solutions for
eliminating the shoot-through current are:
1. Reduce the CWG duty cycle for one period
before changing directions.
2. Use switch drivers that can drive the switches off
faster than they can drive them on.

20.3 Clock Source
The clock source is used to drive the dead-band timing
circuits. The CWGx module allows the following clock
sources to be selected:
•F
OSC (system clock)
HFINTOSC (16 MHz only)
When the HFINTOSC is selected the HFINTOSC will
be kept running during Sleep. Therefore, CWG modes
requiring dead band can operate in Sleep provided that
the CWG data input is also active during Sleep. The
clock sources are selected using the CS bit of the
CWGxCLKCON register (Register 20-3).
20.4 Selectable Input Sources
The CWG generates the output waveforms from the
input sources in Table 20 -1.
The input sources are selected using the DAT<3:0>
bits in the CWGxDAT register (Register 20-4).
20.5 Output Control
Immediately after the CWG module is enabled, the
complementary drive is configured with all output
drives cleared.
20.5.1 CWGx OUTPUTS
Each CWG output can be routed to a Peripheral Pin
Select (PPS) output via the RxyPPS register (see
Section 13.0 “Peripheral Pin Select (PPS)
Module”).
20.5.2 POLARITY CONTROL
The polarity of each CWG output can be selected
independently. When the output polarity bit is set, the
corresponding output is active-low. Clearing the output
polarity bit configures the corresponding output as
active-high. However, polarity does not affect the
override levels. Output polarity is selected with the
POLy bits of the CWGxCON1 register.
20.6 Dead-Band Control
Dead-band control provides for non-overlapping output
signals to prevent current shoot-through in power
switches. The CWGx modules contain two 6-bit
dead-band counters. These counters can be loaded
with values that will determine the length of the dead
band initiated on either the rising or falling edges of the
input source. Dead-band control is used in either Half-
Bridge or Full-Bridge modes.
The rising-edge dead-band delay is determined by the
rising dead-band count register (Register 20-8,
CWGxDBR) and the falling-edge dead-band delay is
determined by the falling dead-band count register
(Register 20-9, CWGxDBF). Dead-band duration is
established by counting the CWG clock periods from
zero up to the value loaded into either the rising or fall-
ing dead-band counter registers. The dead-band
counters are incremented on every rising edge of the
CWG clock source.
20.6.1 RISING EDGE AND REVERSE
DEAD BAND
In Half-Bridge mode, the rising edge dead band delays
the turn-on of the CWGxA output after the rising edge
of the CWG data input. In Full-Bridge mode, the
reverse dead-band delay is only inserted when
changing directions from Forward mode to Reverse
mode, and only the modulated output CWGxB is
affected.
The CWGxDBR register determines the duration of the
dead-band interval on the rising edge of the input
source signal. This duration is from 0 to 64 periods of
the CWG clock.
Dead band is always initiated on the edge of the input
source signal. A count of zero indicates that no dead
band is present.
If the input source signal reverses polarity before the
dead-band count is completed then no output will be
seen on the respective output.
The CWGxDBR register value is double-buffered. If
EN = 0 (Register 20-1), the buffer is loaded when
CWGxDBR is written. If EN = 1, then the buffer will be
loaded at the rising edge, following the first falling edge
of the data input after the LD bit (Register 20-1) is set.

20.6.2 FALLING EDGE AND FORWARD
DEAD BAND
In Half-Bridge mode, the falling edge dead band delays
the turn-on of the CWGxB output at the falling edge of
the CWGx data input. In Full-Bridge mode, the forward
dead-band delay is only inserted when changing direc-
tions from Reverse mode to Forward mode, and only
the modulated output CWGxD is affected.
The CWGxDBF register determines the duration of the
dead-band interval on the falling edge of the input
source signal. This duration is from zero to 64 periods
of the CWG clock.
Dead band is always initiated on the edge of the input
source signal. A count of zero indicates that no dead
band is present.
If the input source signal reverses polarity before the
dead-band count is completed, then no output will be
seen on the respective output.
The CWGxDBF register value is double-buffered.
When EN = 0 (Register 20-1), the buffer is loaded when
CWGxDBF is written. If EN = 1, then the buffer will be
loaded at the rising edge following the first falling edge
of the data input after the LD (Register 20-1) is set.
20.6.3 DEAD-BAND JITTER
The CWG input data signal may be asynchronous to
the CWG input clock, so some jitter may occur in the
observed dead band in each cycle. The maximum jitter
is equal to one CWG clock period. See Equation 20-1
for details and an example.

20.7 Auto-Shutdown Control
Auto-shutdown is a method to immediately override the
CWG output levels with specific overrides that allow for
safe shutdown of the circuit. The shutdown state can
be either cleared automatically or held until cleared by
software.
20.7.1 SHUTDOWN
The shutdown state can be entered by either of the
following two methods:
Software generated
External input
The SHUTDOWN bit indicates when a Shutdown
condition exists. The bit may be set or cleared in
software or by hardware.
20.7.1.1 Software-Generated Shutdown
Setting the SHUTDOWN bit of the CWGxAS0 register
will force the CWG into the Shutdown state.
When auto-restart is disabled, the Shutdown state will
persist as long as the SHUTDOWN bit is set.
When auto-restart is enabled, the SHUTDOWN bit will
clear automatically and resume operation on the next
rising edge event.
20.7.1.2 External Input Source Shutdown
Any of the auto-shutdown external inputs can be
selected to suspend the CWG operation. These
sources are individually enabled by the ASxE bits of the
CWGxAS1 register (Register 20-7). When any of the
selected inputs goes active (pins are active-low), the
CWG outputs will immediately switch to the override
levels selected by the LSBD<1:0> and LSAC<1:0> bits
without any software delay (Section 20.7.1.3 “Pin
Override Levels”). Any of the following external input
sources can be selected to cause a Shutdown
condition:
Comparator C1
Comparator C2
•CLC2
CWGxPPS
20.7.1.3 Pin Override Levels
The levels driven to the CWG outputs during an auto-
shutdown event are controlled by the LSBD<1:0> and
LSAC<1:0> bits of the CWGxAS0 register
(Register 20-6). The LSBD<1:0> bits control CWGxB/D
output levels, while the LSAC<1:0> bits control the
CWGxA/C output levels.
20.7.1.4 Auto-Shutdown Interrupts
When an auto-shutdown event occurs, either by
software or hardware setting SHUTDOWN, the CWGxIF
flag bit of the PIR4 register is set (Register 8-11).
20.8 Auto-Shutdown Restart
After an auto-shutdown event has occurred, there are
two ways to resume operation:
Software controlled
Auto-restart
In either case, the shutdown source must be cleared
before the restart can take place. That is, either the
Shutdown condition must be removed, or the
corresponding WGASxE bit must be cleared.
20.8.1 SOFTWARE-CONTROLLED
RESTART
If the REN bit of the CWGxASD0 register is clear
(REN = 0), the CWGx module must be restarted after
an auto-shutdown event through software.
Once all auto-shutdown conditions are removed, the
software must clear SHUTDOWN. Once SHUTDOWN
is cleared, the CWG module will resume operation
upon the first rising edge of the CWG data input.
20.8.2 AUTO-RESTART
If the REN bit of the CWGxASD0 register is set
(REN = 1), the CWGx module will restart from the
shutdown state automatically.
Once all auto-shutdown conditions are removed, the
hardware will automatically clear SHUTDOWN. Once
SHUTDOWN is cleared, the CWG module will resume
operation upon the first rising edge of the CWG data
input.
Note: Shutdown inputs are level sensitive, not
edge sensitive. The shutdown state
cannot be cleared, except by disabling
auto-shutdown, as long as the shutdown
input level persists.
Note: SHUTDOWN bit cannot be cleared in
software if the auto-shutdown condition is
still present.
Note: SHUTDOWN bit cannot be cleared in
software if the auto-shutdown condition is
still present.

DS40001839D-page 212 2016-2018 Microchip Technology Inc.
20.9 Operation During Sleep
The CWGx module will operate during Sleep, provided
that the input sources remain active.
If the HFINTOSC is selected as the module clock
source, dead-band generation will remain active. This
will have a direct effect on the Sleep mode current.
20.10 Configuring the CWG
1. Ensure that the TRIS control bits corresponding
to CWG outputs are set so that all are
configured as inputs, ensuring that the outputs
are inactive during setup. External hardware
may ensure that pin levels are held to safe
levels.
2. Clear the EN bit, if not already cleared.
3. Configure the MODE<2:0> bits of the
CWGxCON0 register to set the output operating
mode.
4. Configure the POLy bits of the CWGxCON1
register to set the output polarities.
5. Configure the DAT<3:0> bits of the CWGxDAT
register to select the data input source.
6. If a Steering mode is selected, configure the
STRy bits to select the desired output on the
CWG outputs.
7. Configure the LSBD<1:0> and LSAC<1:0> bits
of the CWGxAS0 register to select the auto-
shutdown output override states (this is
necessary even if not using auto-shutdown
because start-up will be from a shutdown state).
8. If auto-restart is desired, set the REN bit of
CWGxAS0.
9. If auto-shutdown is desired, configure the ASxE
bits of the CWGxAS1 register to select the
shutdown source.
10. Set the desired rising and falling dead-band
times with the CWGxDBR and CWGxDBF
registers.
11. Select the clock source in the CWGxCLKCON
register.
12. Set the EN bit to enable the module.
13. Clear the TRIS bits that correspond to the CWG
outputs to set them as outputs.
14. If auto-restart is to be used, set the REN bit and
the SHUTDOWN bit will be cleared
automatically. Otherwise, clear the
SHUTDOWN bit in software to start the CWG.

21.0 CONFIGURABLE LOGIC CELL
(CLC)
The Configurable Logic Cell (CLCx) provides
programmable logic that operates outside the speed
limitations of software execution. The logic cell takes up
to 36 input signals and, through the use of configurable
gates, reduces the 36 inputs to four logic lines that drive
one of eight selectable single-output logic functions.
Input sources are a combination of the following:
I/O pins
Internal clocks
Peripherals
Register bits
The output can be directed internally to peripherals and
to an output pin.
Refer to Figure 21-1 for a simplified diagram showing
signal flow through the CLCx.
Possible configurations include:
Combinatorial Logic
-AND
-NAND
- AND-OR
- AND-OR-INVERT
-OR-XOR
-OR-XNOR
Latches
-S-R
- Clocked D with Set and Reset
- Transparent D with Set and Reset
- Clocked J-K with Reset

21.1 CLCx Setup
Programming the CLCx module is performed by
configuring the four stages in the logic signal flow. The
four stages are:
Data selection
Data gating
Logic function selection
Output polarity
Each stage is setup at run time by writing to the
corresponding CLCx Special Function Registers. This
has the added advantage of permitting logic
reconfiguration on-the-fly during program execution.
21.1.1 DATA SELECTION
There are 36 signals available as inputs to the
configurable logic.
Data selection is through four multiplexers as indicated
on the left side of Figure 21-2. Data inputs in the figure
are identified by ‘LCx_in’ signal name.
Table 21-1 correlates the input number to the actual
signal for each CLC module. The column labeled
‘LCxDyS<5:0> Value’ indicates the MUX selection code
for the selected data input. LCxDyS is an abbreviation for
the MUX select input codes: LCxD1S<5:0> through
LCxD4S<5:0>.
Data inputs are selected with CLCxSEL0 through
CLCxSEL3 registers (Register 21-3 through
Register 21-6).

21.1.2 INPUT DATA SELECTION GATES
Outputs from the input multiplexers are directed to the
desired logic function input through the data gating
stage. Each data gate can direct any combination of the
four selected inputs.
The gate can be configured to direct each input signal
as inverted or noninverted data. The output of each
gate can be inverted before going on to the logic func-
tion stage.
The gating is in essence a 1-to-4 input
AND/NAND/OR/NOR gate. When every input is
inverted and the output is inverted, the gate is an OR of
all enabled data inputs. When the inputs and output are
not inverted, the gate is an AND of all enabled inputs.
Table 21-2 summarizes the basic logic that can be
obtained in gate 1 by using the Gate Logic Select bits
and Gate Polarity bits. The table shows the logic of
four input variables, but each gate can be configured
to use less than four. If no inputs are selected, the
output will be zero or one, depending on the Gate
Output Polarity bit.
It is possible (but not recommended) to select both the
true and negated values of an input. When this is done,
the gate output is zero, regardless of the other inputs,
but may emit logic glitches (transient-induced pulses).
If the output of the channel must be zero or one, the
recommended method is to set all gate bits to zero and
use the Gate Polarity bit to set the desired level.
Data gating is configured with the logic gate select
registers as follows:
Gate 1: CLCxGLS0 (Register 21-7)
Gate 2: CLCxGLS1 (Register 21-8)
Gate 3: CLCxGLS2 (Register 21-9)
Gate 4: CLCxGLS3 (Register 21-10)
Register number suffixes are different than the gate
numbers because other variations of this module have
multiple gate selections in the same register.
Data gating is indicated in the right side of Figure 21-2.
Only one gate is shown in detail. The remaining three
gates are configured identically with the exception that
the data enables correspond to the enables for that
gate.
21.1.3 LOGIC FUNCTION
There are eight available logic functions, including:
AND-OR
•OR-XOR
•AND
S-R Latch
D Flip-Flop with Set and Reset
D Flip-Flop with Reset
J-K Flip-Flop with Reset
Transparent Latch with Set and Reset
Logic functions are shown in Figure 21-3. Each logic
function has four inputs and one output. The four inputs
are the four data gate outputs of the previous stage.
The output is fed to the inversion stage and from there
to other peripherals, an output pin, and back to the
CLCx itself.
21.1.4 OUTPUT POLARITY
The last stage in the configurable logic cell is the output
polarity. Setting the LCxPOL bit of the CLCxPOL
register inverts the output signal from the logic stage.
Changing the polarity while the interrupts are enabled
will cause an interrupt for the resulting output transition.

21.2 CLCx Interrupts
An interrupt will be generated upon a change in the
output value of the CLCx when the appropriate interrupt
enables are set. A rising edge detector and a falling
edge detector are present in each CLC for this purpose.
The CLCxIF bit of the associated PIR3 register will be
set when either edge detector is triggered and its
associated enable bit is set. The LCxINTP bit enables
rising edge interrupts and the LCxINTN bit enables fall-
ing edge interrupts. Both are located in the CLCxCON
register.
To fully enable the interrupt, set the following bits:
CLCxIE bit of the PIE3 register
LCxINTP bit of the CLCxCON register (for a rising
edge detection)
LCxINTN bit of the CLCxCON register (for a
falling edge detection)
PEIE and GIE bits of the INTCON register
The CLCxIF bit of the PIR3 register, must be cleared in
software as part of the interrupt service. If another edge
is detected while this flag is being cleared, the flag will
still be set at the end of the sequence.
21.3 Output Mirror Copies
Mirror copies of all LCxCON output bits are contained
in the CLCDATA register. Reading this register
samples the outputs of all CLCs simultaneously. This
prevents any timing skew introduced by testing or
reading the LCxOUT bits in the individual CLCxCON
registers.
21.4 Effects of a Reset
The CLCxCON register is cleared to zero as the result
of a Reset. All other selection and gating values remain
unchanged.
21.5 Operation During Sleep
The CLC module operates independently from the
system clock and will continue to run during Sleep,
provided that the input sources selected remain active.
The HFINTOSC remains active during Sleep when the
CLC module is enabled and the HFINTOSC is
selected as an input source, regardless of the system
clock source selected.
In other words, if the HFINTOSC is simultaneously
selected as the system clock and as a CLC input
source, when the CLC is enabled, the CPU will go idle
during Sleep, but the CLC will continue to operate and
the HFINTOSC will remain active.
This will have a direct effect on the Sleep mode current.
21.6 CLCx Setup Steps
The following steps will be followed when setting up the
CLCx:
Disable CLCx by clearing the LCxEN bit.
Select desired inputs using CLCxSEL0 through
CLCxSEL3 registers (See Ta bl e 21- 1).
Clear any associated ANSEL bits.
Set all TRIS bits associated with external CLC
inputs.
Enable the chosen inputs through the four gates
using CLCxGLS0, CLCxGLS1, CLCxGLS2, and
CLCxGLS3 registers.
Select the gate output polarities with the
LCxGyPOL bits of the CLCxPOL register.
Select the desired logic function with the
LCxMODE<2:0> bits of the CLCxCON register.
Select the desired polarity of the logic output with
the LCxPOL bit of the CLCxPOL register. (This
step may be combined with the previous gate
output polarity step).
If driving a device pin, set the desired pin PPS
control register and also clear the TRIS bit
corresponding to that output.
If interrupts are desired, configure the following
bits:
- Set the LCxINTP bit in the CLCxCON register
for rising event.
- Set the LCxINTN bit in the CLCxCON
register for falling event.
- Set the CLCxIE bit of the PIE3 register.
- Set the GIE and PEIE bits of the INTCON
register.
Enable the CLCx by setting the LCxEN bit of the
CLCxCON register.

22.0 ANALOG-TO-DIGITAL
CONVERTER (ADC) MODULE
The Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) allows
conversion of an analog input signal to a 10-bit binary
representation of that signal. This device uses analog
inputs, which are multiplexed into a single sample and
hold circuit. The output of the sample and hold is
connected to the input of the converter. The converter
generates a 10-bit binary result via successive
approximation and stores the conversion result into the
ADC result registers (ADRESH:ADRESL register pair).
Figure 22-1 shows the block diagram of the ADC.
The ADC voltage reference is software selectable to be
either internally generated or externally supplied.
The ADC can generate an interrupt upon completion of
a conversion. This interrupt can be used to wake-up the
device from Sleep.

PIC16(L)F18326/18346
22.1 ADC Configuration
When configuring and using the ADC the following
functions must be considered:
Port configuration
Channel selection
ADC voltage reference selection
ADC conversion clock source
Interrupt control
Result formatting
22.1.1 PORT CONFIGURATION
The ADC can be used to convert both analog and
digital signals. When converting analog signals, the I/O
pin will be configured for analog by setting the
associated TRIS and ANSEL bits. Refer to
Section 12.0 “I/O Ports” for more information.
22.1.2 CHANNEL SELECTION
There are several channel selections available:
Five PORTA pins (RA0-RA2, RA4-RA5)
Four PORTB pins (RB4-RB7, PIC16(L)F18346
only)
Six PORTC pins (RC0-RC5, PIC16(L)F18326)
Eight PORTC pins (RC0-RC7, PIC16(L)F18346
only)
Temperature Indicator
DAC output
Fixed Voltage Reference (FVR)
•V
SS (ground)
The CHS<5:0> bits of the ADCON0 register
(Register 22-1) determine which channel is connected
to the sample and hold circuit.
When changing channels, a delay is required before
starting the next conversion. Refer to Section 22.2
“ADC Operation” for more information.
22.1.3 ADC VOLTAGE REFERENCE
The ADPREF<1:0> bits of the ADCON1 register
provides control of the positive voltage reference. The
positive voltage reference can be:
•V
REF+ pin
•VDD
FVR 2.048V
FVR 4.096V (Not available on LF devices)
The ADNREF bit of the ADCON1 register provides
control of the negative voltage reference. The negative
voltage reference can be:
•V
REF- pin
•VSS
See Section 22.0 “Analog-to-Digital Converter
(ADC) Module” for more details on the Fixed Voltage
Reference.
22.1.4 CONVERSION CLOCK
The source of the conversion clock is software
selectable via the ADCS<2:0> bits of the ADCON1
register. There are seven possible clock options:
•F
OSC/2
•FOSC/4
•FOSC/8
•F
OSC/16
•FOSC/32
•FOSC/64
ADCRC (dedicated RC oscillator)
The time to complete one bit conversion is defined as
TAD. One full 10-bit conversion requires 12 TAD periods
as shown in Figure 22-2.
For correct conversion, the appropriate TAD specification
must be met. Refer to Table 35-13 for more information.
Tab le 22 -1 gives examples of appropriate ADC clock
selections.
Note: Analog voltages on any pin that is defined
as a digital input may cause the input
buffer to conduct excess current.
Note: It is recommended that when switching
from an ADC channel of a higher voltage
to a channel of a lower voltage, that the
user selects the VSS channel before
connecting to the channel with the lower
voltage. If the ADC does not have a
dedicated VSS input channel, the VSS
selection (DAC1R<4:0> = b'00000')
through the DAC output channel can be
used. If the DAC is in use, a free input
channel can be connected to VSS, and
can be used in place of the DAC.
Note: Unless using the ADCRC, any changes in
the system clock frequency will change
the ADC clock frequency, which may
adversely affect the ADC result.

2: These values violate the required TAD time.
3: Outside the recommended TAD time.
4: The ADC clock period (TAD) and total ADC conversion time can be minimized when the ADC clock is derived
from the system clock FOSC. However, the ADCRC oscillator source must be used when conversions are to be
performed with the device in Sleep mode.

22.1.5 INTERRUPTS
The ADC module allows for the ability to generate an
interrupt upon completion of an Analog-to-Digital
conversion. The ADC Interrupt Flag is the ADIF bit in
the PIR1 register. The ADC Interrupt Enable is the
ADIE bit in the PIE1 register. The ADIF bit must be
cleared in software.
This interrupt can be generated while the device is
operating or while in Sleep. If the device is in Sleep, the
interrupt will wake-up the device. Upon waking from
Sleep, the next instruction following the SLEEP
instruction is always executed. If the user is attempting
to wake-up from Sleep and resume in-line code
execution, the ADIE bit of the PIE1 register and the
PEIE bit of the INTCON register must both be set and
the GIE bit of the INTCON register must be cleared. If
all three of these bits are set, the execution will switch
to the Interrupt Service Routine (ISR).
22.1.6 RESULT FORMATTING
The 10-bit ADC conversion result can be supplied in
two formats, left justified or right justified. The ADFM bit
of the ADCON1 register controls the output format.
Figure 22-3 shows the two output formats.
Note 1: The ADIF bit is set at the completion of
every conversion, regardless of whether
or not the ADC interrupt is enabled.
2: The ADC operates during Sleep only
when the ADCRC oscillator is selected.

ADCON0 register must be set to a ‘1’. Setting the
GO/DONE bit of the ADCON0 register to a ‘1’ will start
the Analog-to-Digital conversion.
22.2.2 COMPLETION OF A CONVERSION
When the conversion is complete, the ADC module will:
Clear the GO/DONE bit
Set the ADIF Interrupt Flag bit
Update the ADRESH and ADRESL registers with
new conversion result
22.2.3 ADC OPERATION DURING SLEEP
The ADC module can operate during Sleep. This
requires the ADC clock source to be set to the ADCRC
option. When the ADCRC oscillator source is selected,
the ADC waits one additional instruction before starting
the conversion. This allows the SLEEP instruction to be
executed, which can reduce system noise during the
conversion. If the ADC interrupt is enabled, the device
will wake-up from Sleep when the conversion
completes. If the ADC interrupt is disabled, the ADC
module is turned off after the conversion completes,
although the ADON bit remains set.
When the ADC clock source is something other than
ADCRC, a SLEEP instruction causes the present
conversion to be aborted and the ADC module is
turned off, although the ADON bit remains set.
22.2.4 AUTO-CONVERSION TRIGGER
The Auto-conversion Trigger allows periodic ADC
measurements without software intervention. When a
rising edge of the selected source occurs, the
GO/DONE bit is set by hardware.
The Auto-conversion Trigger source is selected with
the ADACT<4:0> bits of the ADACT register.
See Table 22-2 for auto-conversion sources.
Note: The GO/DONE bit will not be set in the
same instruction that turns on the ADC.
Refer to Section 22.2.5 “ADC Conver-
sion Procedure”.
Note: A device Reset forces all registers to their
Reset state. Thus, the ADC module is
turned off and any pending conversion is
terminated.
Note: The auto-conversion feature is not
available while the device is in Sleep
mode.

22.2.5 ADC CONVERSION PROCEDURE
This is an example procedure for using the ADC to
perform an Analog-to-Digital conversion:
1. Configure Port:
Disable pin output driver (Refer to the TRIS
register)
Configure pin as analog (Refer to the ANSEL
register)
2. Configure the ADC module:
Select ADC conversion clock
Select voltage reference
Select ADC input channel
Turn on ADC module
3. Configure ADC interrupt (optional):
Clear ADC interrupt flag
Enable ADC interrupt
Enable peripheral interrupt
Enable global interrupt(1)
4. Wait the required acquisition time(2).
5. Start conversion by setting the GO/DONE bit.
6. Wait for ADC conversion to complete by one of
the following:
Polling the GO/DONE bit
Waiting for the ADC interrupt
7. Read ADC Result.
8. Clear the ADC interrupt flag (required if interrupt
is enabled).
EXAMPLE 22-1: ADC CONVERSION
Note 1: The global interrupt can be disabled if the
user is attempting to wake-up from Sleep
and resume in-line code execution.
2: Refer to Section 22.3 “ADC Acquisi-
tion Requirements”.

22.3 ADC Acquisition Requirements
For the ADC to meet its specified accuracy, the charge
holding capacitor (CHOLD) must be allowed to fully
charge to the input channel voltage level. The Analog
Input model is shown in Figure 22-4. The source
impedance (RS) and the internal sampling switch (RSS)
impedance directly affect the time required to charge
the capacitor CHOLD. The sampling switch (RSS)
impedance varies over the device voltage (VDD), refer
to Figure 22-4. The maximum recommended
impedance for analog sources is 10 k.
As the source impedance is decreased, the acquisition
time may be decreased. After the analog input channel
is selected (or changed), an ADC acquisition must be
done before the conversion can be started. To calculate
the minimum acquisition time, Equation 22-1 may be
used. This equation assumes that 1/2 LSb error is used
(1,024 steps for the ADC). The 1/2 LSb error is the
maximum error allowed for the ADC to meet its
specified resolution.
EQUATION 22-1: ACQUISITION TIME EXAMPLE
Note 1: The reference voltage (VREF) has no effect on the equation, since it cancels itself out.
2: The charge holding capacitor (CHOLD) is not discharged after each conversion.
3: The maximum recommended impedance for analog sources is 10 k. This is required to meet the pin
leakage specification.

23.0 NUMERICALLY CONTROLLED
OSCILLATOR (NCO1) MODULE
The Numerically Controlled Oscillator (NCO1) module
is a timer that uses the overflow from the addition of an
increment value to divide the input frequency. The
advantage of the addition method over simple
counter-driven timer is that the output frequency
resolution does not vary with the divider value. The
NCO1 is most useful for applications that require
frequency accuracy and fine resolution at a fixed duty
cycle.
Features of the NCO1 include:
20-bit increment function
Fixed Duty Cycle (FDC) mode
Pulse Frequency (PF) mode
Output pulse-width control
Multiple clock input sources
Output polarity control
Interrupt capability
Figure 23-1 is a simplified block diagram of the NCO1
module.

23.1 NCO1 Operation
The NCO1 operates by repeatedly adding a fixed value
to an accumulator. Additions occur at the input clock
rate. The accumulator will overflow with a carry
periodically, which is the raw NCO1 output
(NCO_overflow). This effectively reduces the input
clock by the ratio of the addition value to the maximum
accumulator value. See Equation 23-1.
The NCO1 output can be further modified by stretching
the pulse or toggling a flip-flop. The modified NCO1
output is then distributed internally to other peripherals
and can optionally be output to a pin. The accumulator
overflow also generates an interrupt (NCO_interrupt).
The NCO1 period changes in discrete steps to create
an average frequency.
EQUATION 23-1: NCO1 OPERATION
23.1.1 NCO1 CLOCK SOURCES
Clock sources available to the NCO1 include:
•HFINTOSC
•F
OSC
LC1_out
The NCO1 clock source is selected by configuring the
N1CKS<1:0> bits in the NCO1CLK register.
23.1.2 ACCUMULATOR
The accumulator is a 20-bit register. Read and write
access to the accumulator is available through three
registers:
NCO1ACCL
NCO1ACCH
NCO1ACCU
23.1.3 ADDER
The NCO1 adder is a full adder, which operates
independently from the system clock. The addition of
the previous result and the increment value replaces
the accumulator value on the rising edge of each input
clock.
23.1.4 INCREMENT REGISTERS
The increment value is stored in three registers making
up a 20-bit increment. In order of LSB to MSB they are:
NCO1INCL
NCO1INCH
NCO1INCU
When the NCO1 module is enabled, the NCO1INCU
and NCO1INCH registers should be written first, then
the NCO1INCL register. Writing to the NCO1INCL
register initiates the increment buffer registers to be
loaded simultaneously on the second rising edge of the
NCO_clk signal.
The registers are readable and writable. The increment
registers are double-buffered to allow value changes to
be made without first disabling the NCO1 module.
When the NCO1 module is disabled, the increment
buffers are loaded immediately after a write to the
increment registers.

PIC16(L)F18326/18346
23.2 Fixed Duty Cycle (FDC) Mode
In Fixed Duty Cycle (FDC) mode, every time the
accumulator overflows (NCO_overflow), the output is
toggled. This provides a 50% duty cycle with a constant
frequency, provided that the increment value remains
constant.
The FDC frequency can be calculated using
Equation 23-2.The FDC frequency is half of the
overflow frequency since it takes two overflow events
to generate one FDC clock period. For more
information, see Figure 23-2.
EQUATION 23-2: FDC FREQUENCY
The FDC mode is selected by clearing the N1PFM bit
in the NCO1CON register.
23.3 Pulse Frequency (PF) Mode
In Pulse Frequency (PF) mode, every time the
accumulator overflows (NCO_overflow), the output
becomes active for one or more clock periods. Once
the clock period expires, the output returns to an
inactive state. This provides a pulsed output. The
output becomes active on the rising clock edge
immediately following the overflow event. For more
information, see Figure 23-2.
The value of the active and inactive states depends on
the polarity bit, N1POL, in the NCO1CON register.
The PF mode is selected by setting the N1PFM bit in
the NCO1CON register.
23.3.1 OUTPUT PULSE-WIDTH CONTROL
When operating in PF mode, the active state of the
output can vary in width by multiple clock periods.
Various pulse widths are selected with the
N1PWS<2:0> bits in the NCO1CLK register.
When the selected pulse width is greater than the
accumulator overflow time frame, the output of the
NCO1 does not toggle.
23.4 Output Polarity Control
The last stage in the NCO1 module is the output
polarity. The N1POL bit in the NCO1CON register
selects the output polarity. Changing the polarity while
the interrupts are enabled will cause an interrupt for the
resulting output transition.
The NCO1 output can be used internally by source
code or other peripherals. Accomplish this by reading
the N1OUT (read-only) bit of the NCO1CON register.
The NCO1 output signal is available to the following
peripherals:
•CWG

23.5 Interrupts
When the accumulator overflows (NCO_overflow), the
NCO1 Interrupt Flag bit, NCO1IF, of the PIR2 register
is set. To enable the interrupt event (NCO_interrupt),
the following bits must be set:
N1EN bit of the NCO1CON register
NCO1IE bit of the PIE2 register
PEIE bit of the INTCON register
GIE bit of the INTCON register
The interrupt must be cleared by software by clearing
the NCO1IF bit in the Interrupt Service Routine.
23.6 Effects of a Reset
All of the NCO1 registers are cleared to zero as the
result of a Reset.
23.7 Operation in Sleep
The NCO1 module operates independently from the
system clock and will continue to run during Sleep,
provided that the clock source selected remains active.
The HFINTOSC remains active during Sleep when the
NCO1 module is enabled and the HFINTOSC is
selected as the clock source, regardless of the system
clock source selected.
In other words, if the HFINTOSC is simultaneously
selected as the system clock and the NCO1 clock
source, when the NCO1 is enabled, the CPU will go
idle during Sleep, but the NCO1 will continue to operate
and the HFINTOSC will remain active.
This will have a direct effect on the Sleep mode current.

24.0 5-BIT DIGITAL-TO-ANALOG
CONVERTER (DAC1) MODULE
The Digital-to-Analog Converter supplies a variable
voltage reference, ratiometric with the input source,
with 32 selectable output levels.
The input of the DAC can be connected to:
External VREF pins
•V
DD supply voltage
FVR (Fixed Voltage Reference)
The output of the DAC can be configured to supply a
reference voltage to the following:
Comparator positive input
ADC input channel
DAC1OUT pin
The Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) is enabled by
setting the DAC1EN bit of the DAC1CON0 register.
24.1 Output Voltage Selection
The DAC has 32 voltage level ranges. The 32 levels
are set with the DAC1R<4:0> bits of the DAC1CON1
register.
The DAC output voltage is determined by Equation 24-1:
EQUATION 24-1: DAC OUTPUT VOLTAGE
24.2 Ratiometric Output Level
The DAC output value is derived using a resistor ladder
with each end of the ladder tied to a positive and
negative voltage reference input source. If the voltage
of either input source fluctuates, a similar fluctuation will
result in the DAC output value.
The value of the individual resistors within the ladder
can be found in Table 35-15.
24.3 DAC Voltage Reference Output
The DAC voltage can be output to the DAC1OUT pin by
setting the DAC1OE bit of the DAC1CON0 register.
Selecting the DAC reference voltage for output on the
DAC1OUT pin automatically overrides the digital
output buffer and digital input threshold detector
functions, it disables the weak pull-up and the
constant-current drive function of that pin. Reading the
DAC1OUT pin when it has been configured for DAC
reference voltage output will always return a ‘0’.
Due to the limited current drive capability, a buffer must
be used on the DAC voltage reference output for
external connections to the DAC1OUT pin. Figure 24-2
shows an example buffering technique.

24.4 Operation During Sleep
The DAC continues to function during Sleep. When the
device wakes up from Sleep through an interrupt or a
Watchdog Timer time-out, the contents of the
DAC1CON0 register are not affected.
24.5 Effects of a Reset
A device Reset affects the following:
DAC is disabled.
DAC output voltage is removed from the

25.0 DATA SIGNAL MODULATOR
(DSM) MODULE
The Data Signal Modulator (DSM) is a peripheral which
allows the user to mix a data stream, also known as a
modulator signal, with a carrier signal to produce a
modulated output.
Both the carrier and the modulator signals are supplied
to the DSM module either internally from the output of
a peripheral, or externally through an input pin.
The modulated output signal is generated by
performing a logical “AND” operation of both the carrier
and modulator signals and then provided to the MDOUT
pin.
The carrier signal is comprised of two distinct and
separate signals. A carrier high (CARH) signal and a
carrier low (CARL) signal. During the time in which the
modulator (MOD) signal is in a logic high state, the
DSM mixes the carrier high signal with the modulator
signal. When the modulator signal is in a logic low
state, the DSM mixes the carrier low signal with the
modulator signal.
Using this method, the DSM can generate the following
types of key modulation schemes:
Frequency-Shift Keying (FSK)
Phase-Shift Keying (PSK)
On-Off Keying (OOK)
Additionally, the following features are provided within
the DSM module:
Carrier Synchronization
Carrier Source Polarity Select
Carrier Source Pin Disable
Programmable Modulator Data
Modulator Source Pin Disable
Modulated Output Polarity Select
Slew Rate Control
Figure 25-1 shows a simplified block diagram of the
Data Signal Modulator peripheral.

PIC16(L)F18326/18346
25.1 DSM Operation
The DSM module can be enabled by setting the MDEN
bit in the MDCON register. Clearing the MDEN bit in the
MDCON register, disables the DSM module by auto-
matically switching the carrier high and carrier low sig-
nals to the VSS signal source. The modulator signal
source is also switched to the MDBIT in the MDCON
register. This not only assures that the DSM module is
inactive, but that it is also consuming the least amount
of current.
The values used to select the carrier high, carrier low,
and modulator sources held by the Modulation Source,
Modulation High Carrier, and Modulation Low Carrier
control registers are not affected when the MDEN bit is
cleared and the DSM module is disabled. The values
inside these registers remain unchanged while the
DSM is inactive. The sources for the carrier high, car-
rier low and modulator signals will once again be
selected when the MDEN bit is set and the DSM
module is again enabled and active.
The modulated output signal can be disabled without
shutting down the DSM module. The DSM module will
remain active and continue to mix signals, but the out-
put value will not be sent to the DSM pin. During the
time that the output is disabled, the DSM pin will remain
low. The modulated output can be disabled by clearing
the MDEN bit in the MDCON register.
25.2 Modulator Signal Sources
The modulator signal can be supplied from the
following sources:
CCP1 Output
CCP2 Output
PWM5 Output
PWM6 Output
MSSP1 SDO1 (SPI mode only)
MSSP2 SDO2 (SPI mode only)
Comparator C1 Output
Comparator C2 Output
EUSART1 TX Output
External Signal on MDMIN pin
NCO1 Output
CLC1 Output
CLC2 Output
CLC3 Output
CLC4 Output
MDBIT bit in the MDCON register
The modulator signal is selected by configuring the
MDMS <3:0> bits in the MDSRC register.
25.3 Carrier Signal Sources
The carrier high signal and carrier low signal can be
supplied from the following sources:
CCP1 Output
CCP2 Output
PWM5 Output
PWM6 Output
NCO1 Output
•F
OSC (System Clock)
•HFINTOSC
CLC1 Output
CLC2 Output
CLC3 Output
CLC4 Output
•CLKR
External Signal on MDCIN1 pin
External Signal on MDCIN2 pin
•Vss
The carrier high signal is selected by configuring the
MDCH <3:0> bits in the MDCARH register. The carrier
low signal is selected by configuring the MDCL <3:0>
bits in the MDCARL register.
25.4 Carrier Synchronization
During the time when the DSM switches between
carrier high and carrier low signal sources, the carrier
data in the modulated output signal can become
truncated. To prevent this, the carrier signal can be
synchronized to the modulator signal. When the
modulator signal transitions away from the
synchronized carrier, the unsynchronized carrier
source is immediately active, while the synchronized
carrier remains active until its next falling edge. When
the modulator signal transitions back to the
synchronized carrier, the unsynchronized carrier is
immediately disabled, and the modulator waits until the
next falling edge of the synchronized carrier before the
synchronized carrier becomes active.
Synchronization is enabled separately for the carrier
high and carrier low signal sources. Synchronization for
the carrier high signal is enabled by setting the
MDCHSYNC bit in the MDCARH register.
Synchronization for the carrier low signal is enabled by
setting the MDCLSYNC bit in the MDCARL register.

25.5 Carrier Source Polarity Select
The signal provided from any selected input source for
the carrier high and carrier low signals can be inverted.
Inverting the signal for the carrier high source is
enabled by setting the MDCHPOL bit of the MDCARH
register. Inverting the signal for the carrier low source is
enabled by setting the MDCLPOL bit of the MDCARL
register.
25.6 Programmable Modulator Data
The MDBIT of the MDCON register can be selected as
the source for the modulator signal. This gives the user
the ability to program the value used for modulation.
25.7 Modulated Output Polarity
The modulated output signal provided on the DSM pin
can also be inverted. Inverting the modulated output
signal is enabled by setting the MDOPOL bit of the
MDCON register.
25.8 Slew Rate Control
The slew rate limitation on the output port pin can be
disabled. The slew rate limitation can be removed by
clearing the SLR bit of the SLRCON register
associated with that pin. For example, clearing the slew
rate limitation for pin RA5 would require clearing the
SLRA5 bit of the SLRCONA register.
25.9 Operation in Sleep Mode
The DSM module is not affected by Sleep mode. The
DSM can still operate during Sleep, if the Carrier and
Modulator input sources are also still operable during
Sleep.
25.10 Effects of a Reset
Upon any device Reset, the DSM module is disabled.
The user’s firmware is responsible for initializing the
module before enabling the output. The registers are
reset to their default values.

26.0 TIMER0 MODULE
The Timer0 module is an 8/16-bit timer/counter with the
following features:
16-bit timer/counter
8-bit timer/counter with programmable period
Synchronous or asynchronous operation
Selectable clock sources
Programmable prescaler (independent of
Watchdog Timer)
Programmable postscaler
Operation during Sleep mode
Interrupt on match or overflow
Output on I/O pin (via PPS) or to other peripherals
26.1 Timer0 Operation
Timer0 can operate as either an 8-bit timer/counter or
a 16-bit timer/counter. The mode is selected with the
T016BIT bit of the T0CON register.
When used with an FOSC/4 clock source, the module is
a timer and increments on every instruction cycle.
When used with any other clock source, the module
can be used as either a timer or a counter and
increments on every rising edge of the external source.
26.1.1 16-BIT MODE
In normal operation, TMR0 increments on the rising
edge of the clock source. A 15-bit prescaler on the
clock input gives several prescale options (see
prescaler control bits, T0CKPS<3:0> in the T0CON1
register).
26.1.1.1 Timer0 Reads and Writes in 16-bit
Mode
TMR0H is not the actual high byte of Timer0 in 16-bit
mode. It is actually a buffered version of the real high
byte of Timer0, which is neither directly readable nor
writable (see Figure 26-1). 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 was 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.
26.1.2 8-BIT MODE
In normal operation, TMR0 increments on the rising
edge of the clock source. A 15-bit prescaler on the
clock input gives several prescale options (see
prescaler control bits, T0CKPS<3:0> in the T0CON1
register).
In 8-bit mode, TMR0H no longer functions as the
Timer0 high byte, but instead functions as the Period
Register (PR). The value of TMR0L is compared to that
of TMR0H on each clock cycle. When the two values
match, the following events happen:
TMR0_out goes high for one prescaled clock
period
TMR0L is reset
The contents of TMR0H are copied to the period
buffer
In 8-bit mode, the TMR0L and TMR0H registers are
both directly readable and writable. The TMR0L
register is cleared on any device Reset, while the
TMR0H register initializes at FFh.
Both the prescaler and postscaler counters are cleared
on the following events:
A write to the TMR0L register
A write to either the T0CON0 or T0CON1
registers.
Any device Reset – Power-on Reset (POR),
MCLR Reset, Watchdog Timer Reset (WDTR) or
Brown-out Reset (BOR)
26.1.3 COUNTER MODE
In Counter mode, the prescaler is normally disabled by
setting the T0CKPS bits of the T0CON1 register to
0000’. Each rising edge of the clock input (or the
output of the prescaler if the prescaler is used)
increments the counter by ‘1’.
26.1.4 TIMER MODE
In Timer mode, the Timer0 module will increment every
instruction cycle as long as there is a valid clock signal
and the T0CKPS bits of the T0CON1 register
(Register 26-4) are set to ‘0000’. When a prescaler is
added, the timer will increment at the rate based on the
prescaler value.
26.1.5 ASYNCHRONOUS MODE
When the T0ASYNC bit of the T0CON1 register is set
(T0ASYNC = 1), the counter increments with each
rising edge of the input source (or output of the
prescaler, if used). Asynchronous mode allows the
counter to continue operation during Sleep mode
provided that the clock also continues to operate during
Sleep.
2016-2018 Microchip Technology Inc. DS40001839D-page 277
PIC16(L)F18326/18346
26.1.6 SYNCHRONOUS MODE
When the T0ASYNC bit of the T0CON1 register is clear
(T0ASYNC = 0), the counter clock is synchronized to
the system oscillator (FOSC/4). When operating in
Synchronous mode, the counter clock frequency
cannot exceed FOSC/4.
26.2 Clock Source Selection
The T0CS<2:0> bits of the T0CON1 register are used
to select the clock source for Timer0. Register 26-4
displays the clock source selections.
26.2.1 INTERNAL CLOCK SOURCE
When the internal clock source is selected, Timer0
operates as a timer and will increment on multiples of
the clock source, as determined by the Timer0
prescaler.
26.2.2 EXTERNAL CLOCK SOURCE
When an external clock source is selected, Timer0 can
operate as either a timer or a counter. Timer0 will
increment on multiples of the rising edge of the external
clock source, as determined by the Timer0 prescaler.
26.3 Programmable Prescaler
A software programmable prescaler is available for
exclusive use with Timer0. There are 16 prescaler
options for Timer0 ranging in powers of two from 1:1 to
1:32768. The prescaler values are selected using the
T0CKPS<3:0> bits of the T0CON1 register.
The prescaler is not directly readable or writable.
Clearing the prescaler register can be done by writing
to the TMR0L register, the T0CON0 register, or the
T0CON1 register.
26.4 Programmable Postscaler
A software programmable postscaler (output divider) is
available for exclusive use with Timer0. There are 16
postscaler options for Timer0 ranging from 1:1 to 1:16.
The postscaler values are selected using the
T0OUTPS<3:0> bits of the T0CON0 register.
The postscaler is not directly readable or writable.
Clearing the postscaler register can be done by writing
to the TMR0L register, the T0CON0 register, or the
T0CON1 register. In the 16-bit mode, if the postscaler
option is selected to a ratio other than 1:1, the reload of
the TMR0H and TMR0L registers is not possible inside
the Interrupt Service Routine. The timer period must be
calculated with the prescaler and postscaler factors
selected.
26.5 Operation During Sleep
When operating synchronously, Timer0 will halt. When
operating asynchronously, Timer0 will continue to
increment and wake the device from Sleep (if Timer0
interrupts are enabled) provided that the input clock
source is active.
26.6 Timer0 Interrupts
The Timer0 Interrupt Flag bit (TMR0IF) is set when
either of the following conditions occur:
8-bit TMR0L matches the TMR0H value
16-bit TMR0 rolls over from FFFFh
When the postscaler bits (T0OUTPS<3:0>) are set to
1:1 operation (no division), the T0IF Flag bit will be set
with every TMR0 match or rollover. In general, the
TMR0IF Flag bit will be set every T0OUTPS +1
matches or rollovers.
If Timer0 interrupts are enabled (TMR0IE bit of the
PIE0 register = 1), the CPU will be interrupted and the
device may wake from Sleep (see Section 26.5
“Operation During Sleep” for more details).
26.7 Timer0 Output
The Timer0 output can be routed to any I/O pin via the
RxyPPS output selection register (see Section 13.0
“Peripheral Pin Select (PPS) Module” for additional
information). The Timer0 output can also be used by
other peripherals, such as the auto-conversion trigger
of the Analog-to-Digital Converter. Finally, the Timer0
output can be monitored through software via the
Timer0 Output bit (T0OUT) of the T0CON0 register
(Register 26-3).
TMR0_out will be one postscaled clock period when a
match occurs between TMR0L and TMR0H in 8-bit
mode, or when TMR0 rolls over in 16-bit mode. When
a match condition occurs, the Timer0 output will toggle
every T0OUTPS + 1 match. The total Timer0 period
takes two match events to occur, and creates a 50%
duty cycle output.

Figure 27-1 is a block diagram of the Timer1 module.
Note 1: In devices with more than one Timer
module, it is very important to pay close
attention to the register names used. A
number placed after the module acronym
is used to distinguish between separate
modules. For example, the T1CON and
T3CON control the same operational
aspects of two completely different Timer
modules.
2: Throughout this section, generic
references to Timer1 module in any of its
operating modes may be interpreted as
being equally applicable to Timerx
module. Register names, module
signals, I/O pins and bit names may use
the generic designator ‘x’ to indicate the
use of a numeral to distinguish a
particular module, when required.

27.1 Timer1 Operation
The Timer1 module is a 16-bit incrementing counter
which is accessed through the TMR1H:TMR1L register
pair. Writes to TMR1H or TMR1L directly update the
counter.
The module can be used with either internal or external
clock sources, and has the Timer1 Gate Enable
function. When Timer1 is used with the Timer1 Gate
Enable, the timer can measure time intervals or count
signal pulses between two points of interest. When
used without the Timer1 Gate Enable, the timer simply
measures time intervals.
Timer1 is enabled by configuring the TMR1ON and
TMR1GE bits in the T1CON and T1GCON registers,
respectively. Table 27-1 displays the Timer1 enable
selections.
27.2 Clock Source Selection
The TMR1CS<1:0> and T1OSC bits of the T1CON
register are used to select the clock source for Timer1.
Table 27-2 displays the clock source selections. The
TMR1H:TMR1L register pair will increment on
multiples of the clock source as determined by the
Timer1 prescaler.
When either the FOSC or LFINTOSC clock source is
selected, the TMR1H:TMR1L register pair will
increment every rising clock edge. Reading from the
TMR1H:TMR1L register pair when either the FOSC or
LFINTOSC is the clock source will cause a 2 LSb loss
in resolution, which can be mitigated by using an
asynchronous input signal to gate the Timer1 clock
input (see Section 26.5 “Operation During Sleep” for
more information on the Timer1 Gate Enable).
When the FOSC/4 clock source is selected, the
TMR1H:TMR1L register pair increments every
instruction cycle (once every four FOSC pulses).
In addition to the internal clock sources, Timer1 has a
dedicated external clock input pin, T1CKI. T1CKI can
be either synchronized to the system clock or can run
asynchronously via the T1SYNC bit of the T1CON
register. When the T1CKI pin is used as the clock
source, the TMR1H:TMR1L register pair increments on
the rising edge of the T1CKI clock input.

27.2.1 TIMER1 (SECONDARY)
OSCILLATOR
A dedicated low-power 32.768 kHz oscillator circuit is
built-in between pins SOSCI (input) and SOSCO
(amplifier output). This internal circuit is designed to be
used in conjunction with an external 32.768 kHz
crystal.
The oscillator circuit is enabled by setting the T1SOSC
bit of the T1CON register. The oscillator will continue to
run during Sleep.
27.3 Timer1 Prescaler
Timer1 has four prescaler options allowing 1, 2, 4 or 8
divisions of the clock input. The T1CKPS bits of the
T1CON register control the prescale counter. The
prescale counter is not directly readable or writable;
however, the prescaler counter is cleared upon a write to
TMR1H or TMR1L.
27.4 Timer1 16-Bit Read/Write Mode
Timer1 can be configured for 16-bit reads and writes.
When the RD16 control bit (T1CON<1>) is set, the
address for TMR1H is mapped to a buffer register for the
high byte of Timer1. A read from TMR1L loads the
contents of the high byte of Timer1 into the Timer1 High
Byte Buffer register. This provides the user with the
ability to accurately read all 16 bits of Timer1 without
having to determine whether a read of the high byte,
followed by a read of the low byte, has become invalid
due to a rollover between reads.
A write to the high byte of Timer1 must also take place
through the TMR1H Buffer register. The Timer1 high
byte is updated with the contents of TMR1H when a
write occurs to TMR1L. This allows a user to write all 16
bits at once to both the high and low bytes of Timer1. 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.
FIGURE 27-2: BODY DIAGRAM
Note: The oscillator requires a start-up and
stabilization time before use. Thus,
T1SOSC should be set and a suitable
delay observed prior to using Timer1. A
suitable delay similar to the OST delay
can be implemented in software by
clearing the TMR1IF bit then presetting
the TMR1H:TMR1L register pair to
FC00h. The TMR1IF flag will be set when
1024 clock cycles have elapsed, thereby
indicating that the oscillator is running and
reasonably stable.

27.5 Timer1 Operation in
Asynchronous Mode
If the control bit T1SYNC of the T1CON register is set,
the external clock input is not synchronized. The timer
increments asynchronously to the internal phase
clocks. If the external clock source is selected then the
timer will continue to run during Sleep and can
generate an interrupt on overflow, which will wake-up
the processor. However, special precautions in
software are needed to read/write the timer (see
Section 27.5.1 “Reading and Writing Timer1 in
Asynchronous Mode”).
27.5.1 READING AND WRITING TIMER1 IN
ASYNCHRONOUS MODE
Reading TMR1H or TMR1L while the timer is running
from an external asynchronous clock will ensure a valid
read (taken care of in hardware). However, the user
should keep in mind that reading the 16-bit timer in two
8-bit values itself, poses certain problems, since the
timer may overflow between the reads.
For writes, it is recommended that the user simply stop
the timer and write the desired values. A write
contention may occur by writing to the timer registers,
while the register is incrementing. This may produce an
unpredictable value in the TMR1H:TMR1L register pair.
27.6 Timer1 Gate
Timer1 can be configured to count freely or the count
can be enabled and disabled using Timer1 gate
circuitry. This is also referred to as Timer1 Gate Enable.
Timer1 gate can also be driven by multiple selectable
sources.
27.6.1 TIMER1 GATE ENABLE
The Timer1 Gate Enable mode is enabled by setting
the TMR1GE bit of the T1GCON register. The polarity
of the Timer1 Gate Enable mode is configured using
the T1GPOL bit of the T1GCON register.
When Timer1 Gate Enable mode is enabled, Timer1
will increment on the rising edge of the Timer1 clock
source. When Timer1 Gate Enable mode is disabled,
no incrementing will occur and Timer1 will hold the
current count. See Figure 27-4 for timing details.
Note: When switching from synchronous to
asynchronous operation, it is possible to
skip an increment. When switching from
asynchronous to synchronous operation,
it is possible to produce an additional
increment.

27.6.2 TIMER1 GATE SOURCE
SELECTION
Timer1 gate source selections are shown in Table 27-4.
Source selection is controlled by the T1GSS bits of the
T1GCON register. The polarity of the selected input is
configurable. Polarity selection is controlled by the
T1GPOL bit of the T1GCON register.
27.6.2.1 T1G Pin Gate Operation
The T1G pin is one source for Timer1 gate control. It
can be used to supply an external source to the Timer1
gate circuitry.
27.6.2.2 Timer0 Overflow Gate Operation
When Timer0 increments from FFh to 00h, a
low-to-high pulse will automatically be generated and
internally supplied to the Timer1 gate circuitry.
27.6.2.3 Comparator C1 Gate Operation
The output resulting from a Comparator 1 operation can
be selected as a source for Timer1 gate control. The
Comparator 1 output can be synchronized to the Timer1
clock or left asynchronous. For more information see
Section 19.4.1 “Comparator Output
Synchronization”.
27.6.2.4 Comparator C2 Gate Operation
The output resulting from a Comparator 2 operation
can be selected as a source for Timer1 gate control.
The Comparator 2 output can be synchronized to the
Timer1 clock or left asynchronous. For more
information see Section 19.4.1 “Comparator Output
Synchronization”.
27.6.3 TIMER1 GATE TOGGLE MODE
When Timer1 Gate Toggle mode is enabled, it is
possible to measure the full period of a Timer1 gate
signal, as opposed to the duration of a single level
pulse.
The Timer1 gate source is routed through a flip-flop that
changes state on every incrementing edge of the
signal. See Figure 27-5 for timing details.
Timer1 Gate Toggle mode is enabled by setting the
T1GTM bit of the T1GCON register. When the T1GTM
bit is cleared, the flip-flop is cleared and held clear. This
is necessary in order to control which edge is
measured.
27.6.4 TIMER1 GATE SINGLE-PULSE
MODE
When Timer1 Gate Single-Pulse mode is enabled, it is
possible to capture a single-pulse gate event. Timer1
Gate Single-Pulse mode is first enabled by setting the
T1GSPM bit in the T1GCON register. Next, the
T1GGO/DONE bit in the T1GCON register must be set.
The Timer1 will be fully enabled on the next
incrementing edge of the Timer1 gate signal. On the
next trailing edge of the Timer1 gate signal, the
T1GGO/DONE bit will automatically be cleared. No
other gate events will be allowed to increment Timer1
until the T1GGO/DONE bit is once again set in
software. See Figure 27-6 for timing details.
If the Single-Pulse Gate mode is disabled by clearing the
T1GSPM bit in the T1GCON register, the T1GGO/DONE
bit should also be cleared.
Enabling the Toggle mode and the Single-Pulse mode
simultaneously will permit both sections to work
together. This allows the period of the Timer1 gate
source to be measured. See Figure 27-7 for timing
details.
27.6.5 TIMER1 GATE VALUE STATUS
When Timer1 Gate Value Status is utilized, it is possible
to read the most current level of the gate control value.
The value is stored in the T1GVAL bit in the T1GCON
register. The T1GVAL bit is valid even when the Timer1
gate is not enabled (TMR1GE bit is cleared).

as changing the gate polarity may result in
indeterminate operation.

PIC16(L)F18326/18346
27.7 Timer1 Interrupt
The Timer1 register pair (TMR1H:TMR1L) increments
to FFFFh and rolls over to 0000h. When Timer1 rolls
over, the Timer1 interrupt flag bit of the PIR1 register is
set. To enable the interrupt on rollover, you must set
these bits:
TMR1ON bit of the T1CON register
TMR1IE bit of the PIE1 register
PEIE bit of the INTCON register
GIE bit of the INTCON register
The interrupt is cleared by clearing the TMR1IF bit in
the Interrupt Service Routine.
27.7.1 TIMER1 GATE EVENT INTERRUPT
When Timer1 Gate Event Interrupt is enabled, it is
possible to generate an interrupt upon the completion
of a gate event. When the falling edge of T1GVAL
occurs, the TMR1GIF flag bit in the PIR1 register will be
set. If the TMR1GIE bit in the PIE1 register is set, then
an interrupt will be recognized.
The TMR1GIF flag bit operates even when the Timer1
gate is not enabled (TMR1GE bit is cleared).
27.8 Timer1 Operation During Sleep
Timer1 can only operate during Sleep when setup in
Asynchronous mode. In this mode, an external crystal
or clock source can be used to increment the timer. To
set up the timer to wake the device:
TMR1ON bit of the T1CON register must be set
TMR1IE bit of the PIE1 register must be set
PEIE bit of the INTCON register must be set
•T1SYNC
bit of the T1CON register must be set
TMR1CS bits of the T1CON register must be con-
figured
T1SOSC bit of the T1CON register must be con-
figured
The device will wake-up on an overflow and execute
the next instructions. If the GIE bit of the INTCON
register is set, the device will call the Interrupt Service
Routine.
Secondary oscillator will continue to operate in Sleep
regardless of the T1SYNC bit setting.
27.9 CCP Capture/Compare Time Base
The CCP modules use the TMR1H:TMR1L register
pair as the time base when operating in Capture or
Compare mode.
In Capture mode, the value in the TMR1H:TMR1L
register pair is copied into the CCPR1H:CCPR1L
register pair on a configured event.
In Compare mode, an event is triggered when the value
CCPR1H:CCPR1L register pair matches the value in
the TMR1H:TMR1L register pair. This event can be an
Auto-conversion Trigger.
For more information, see Section 29.0
“Capture/Compare/PWM Modules”.
27.10 CCP Auto-Conversion Trigger
When any of the CCP’s are configured to trigger an
auto-conversion, the trigger will clear the
TMR1H:TMR1L register pair. This auto-conversion
does not cause a Timer1 interrupt. The CCP module
may still be configured to generate a CCP interrupt.
In this mode of operation, the CCPR1H:CCPR1L
register pair becomes the period register for Timer1.
Timer1 should be synchronized and FOSC/4 should be
selected as the clock source in order to utilize the
Auto-conversion Trigger. Asynchronous operation of
Timer1 can cause an Auto-conversion Trigger to be
missed.
In the event that a write to TMR1H or TMR1L coincides
with an Auto-conversion Trigger from the CCP, the
write will take precedence.
For more information, see Section 29.3.3
“Auto-Conversion Trigger”.
Note: The TMR1H:TMR1L register pair and the
TMR1IF bit should be cleared before
enabling interrupts.

28.0 TIMER2/4/6 MODULE
Timer2/4/6 modules are 8-bit timers that incorporate
the following features:
8-bit Timer and Period registers (TMR2/4/6 and
PR2/4/6, respectively)
Readable and writable (both registers)
Software programmable prescaler (1:1, 1:4, 1:16,
and 1:64)
Software programmable postscaler (1:1 to 1:16)
Interrupt on TMR2/4/6 match with PR2/4/6
Optional use as the shift clock for the MSSPx
module
See Figure 28-1 for a block diagram of Timer2/4/6.
FIGURE 28-1: TIMER2/4/6 BLOCK DIAGRAM
Note 1: In devices with more than one Timer
module, it is very important to pay close
attention to the register names used. A
number placed after the module acronym
is used to distinguish between separate
modules. For example, the T2CON and
T4CON control the same operational
aspects of two completely different Timer
modules.
2: Throughout this section, generic
references to Timer2 module in any of its
operating modes may be interpreted as
being equally applicable to Timerx
module. Register names, module
signals, I/O pins and bit names may use
the generic designator ‘x’ to indicate the
use of a numeral to distinguish a
particular module, when required.

28.1 Timer2 Operation
The clock input to the Timer2 modules is the system
instruction clock (FOSC/4).
A 4-bit counter/prescaler on the clock input allows direct
input, divide-by-4 and divide-by-16 prescale options.
These options are selected by the prescaler control bits,
T2CKPS<1:0> of the T2CON register. The value of
TMR2 is compared to that of the Period register, PR2, on
each clock cycle. When the two values match, the
comparator generates a match signal as the timer
output. This signal also resets the value of TMR2 to 00h
on the next cycle and drives the output
counter/postscaler (see Section 28.2 “Timer2
Interrupt”).
The TMR2 and PR2 registers are both directly readable
and writable. The TMR2 register is cleared on any
device Reset, whereas the PR2 register initializes to
FFh. Both the prescaler and postscaler counters are
cleared on the following events:
A write to the TMR2 register
A write to the T2CON register
Power-on Reset (POR)
Brown-out Reset (BOR)
•MCLR
Reset
Watchdog Timer (WDT) Reset
Stack Overflow Reset
Stack Underflow Reset
RESET Instruction
28.2 Timer2 Interrupt
Timer2 can also generate an optional device interrupt.
The Timer2 output signal (TMR2-to-PR2 match)
provides the input for the 4-bit counter/postscaler. This
counter generates the TMR2 match interrupt flag which
is latched in TMR2IF of the PIR1 register. The interrupt
is enabled by setting the TMR2 Match Interrupt Enable
bit, TMR2IE, of the PIE1 register.
A range of 16 postscale options (from 1:1 through 1:16
inclusive) can be selected with the postscaler control
bits, T2OUTPS<3:0>, of the T2CON register.
28.3 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 MSSPx module operating in SPI mode.
Additional information is provided in Section 30.0
“Master Synchronous Serial Port (MSSPx) Module”
28.4 Timer2 Operation During Sleep
The Timer2 timers cannot be operated while the
processor is in Sleep mode. The contents of the TMR2
and PR2 registers will remain unchanged while the
processor is in Sleep mode.
Note: TMR2 is not cleared when T2CON is
written.

29.0 CAPTURE/COMPARE/PWM
MODULES
The Capture/Compare/PWM module is a peripheral
that allows the user to time and control different events
and to generate Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM)
signals. In Capture mode, the peripheral allows the
timing of the duration of an event. The Compare mode
allows the user to trigger an external event when a
predetermined amount of time has expired. The PWM
mode can generate Pulse-Width Modulated signals of
varying frequency and duty cycle.
This family of devices contains four standard
Capture/Compare/PWM modules (CCP1, CCP2, CCP3
and CCP4).
The Capture and Compare functions are identical for all
CCP modules.
29.1 CCP/PWM Clock Selection
The PIC16(L)F18326/18346 devices allow each
individual CCP and PWM module to select the timer
source that controls the module. Each module has an
independent selection.
As there are up to three 8-bit timers with auto-reload
(Timer2, Timer4, and Timer6), PWM mode on the CCP
and PWM modules can use any of these timers.
The CCPTMRS register is used to select which timer is
used.
29.2 Capture Mode
Capture mode makes use of either the 16-bit Timer0 or
Timer1 resource. When an event occurs on the capture
source, the 16-bit CCPRxH:CCPRxL register pair
captures and stores the 16-bit value of the
TMR0H:TMR0L or TMR1H:TMR1L register pair,
respectively. An event is defined as one of the following
and is configured by the CCPxMODE<3:0> bits of the
CCPxCON register:
Every falling edge
Every rising edge
Every 4th rising edge
Every 16th rising edge
When a capture is made, the Interrupt Request Flag bit
CCPxIF of the PIR4 register is set. The interrupt flag
must be cleared in software. If another capture occurs
before the value in the CCPRxH, CCPRxL register pair
is read, the old captured value is overwritten by the new
captured value.
Figure 29-1 shows a simplified diagram of the capture
operation.
29.2.1 CAPTURE SOURCES
In Capture mode, the CCPx pin should be configured
as an input by setting the associated TRIS control bit.
The capture source is selected by configuring the
CCPxCTS<3:0> bits of the CCPxCAP register. The
following sources can be selected:
CCPxPPS input
C1_output
C2_output
NCO_output
IOC_interrupt
LC1_output
LC2_output
LC3_output
LC4_output
Note 1: In devices with more than one CCP
module, it is very important to pay close
attention to the register names used. A
number placed after the module acronym
is used to distinguish between separate
modules. For example, the CCP1CON
and CCP2CON control the same
operational aspects of two completely
different CCP modules.
2: Throughout this section, generic
references to a CCP module in any of its
operating modes may be interpreted as
being equally applicable to CCPx module.
Register names, module signals, I/O pins,
and bit names may use the generic
designator ‘x’ to indicate the use of a
numeral to distinguish a particular module,
when required.
Note: If the CCPx pin is configured as an output,
a write to the port can cause a Capture
condition.

29.2.2 TIMER1/3/5 MODE RESOURCE
Timer1/3/5 must be running in Timer mode or
Synchronized Counter mode for the CCP module to use
the capture feature. In Asynchronous Counter mode, the
capture operation may not work.
See Section 27.0 “Timer1/3/5 Module with Gate
Control” for more information on configuring
Timer1/3/5.
29.2.3 SOFTWARE INTERRUPT MODE
When the Capture mode is changed, a false capture
interrupt may be generated. The user should keep the
CCPxIE interrupt enable bit of the PIE4 register clear to
avoid false interrupts. Additionally, the user should
clear the CCPxIF interrupt flag bit of the PIR4 register
following any change in Operating mode.
29.2.4 CCP PRESCALER
There are four prescaler settings specified by the
CCPxMODE<3:0> bits of the CCPxCON register.
Whenever the CCP module is turned off, or the CCP
module is not in Capture mode, the prescaler counter
is cleared. Any Reset will clear the prescaler counter.
Switching from one capture prescaler to another does not
clear the prescaler and may generate a false interrupt. To
avoid this unexpected operation, turn the module off by
clearing the CCPxCON register before changing the
prescaler. Example 29-1 demonstrates the code to
perform this function.
EXAMPLE 29-1: CHANGING BETWEEN
CAPTURE PRESCALERS
29.2.5 CAPTURE DURING SLEEP
Capture mode depends upon the Timer1/3/5 module for
proper operation. There are two options for driving the
Timer1/3/5 module in Capture mode. It can be driven by
the instruction clock (FOSC/4), or by an external clock
source.
When Timer1/3/5 is clocked by FOSC/4, Timer1/3/5 will
not increment during Sleep. When the device wakes
from Sleep, Timer1/3/5 will continue from its previous
state.
Capture mode will operate during Sleep when
Timer1/3/5 is clocked by an external clock source.
Note: Clocking Timer1/3/5 from the system clock
(FOSC) should not be used in Capture
mode. In order for Capture mode to
recognize the trigger event on the CCPx
pin, Timer1/3/5 must be clocked from the
instruction clock (FOSC/4) or from an
external clock source.

PIC16(L)F18326/18346
29.3 Compare Mode
Compare mode makes use of the 16-bit Timer1/3/5
resource. The 16-bit value of the CCPRxH:CCPRxL
register pair is constantly compared against the 16-bit
value of the TMR1/3/5H:TMR1/3/5L register pair. When
a match occurs, one of the following events can occur:
Toggle the CCPx output
Set the CCPx output
Clear the CCPx output
Generate an Auto-conversion Trigger
Generate a Software Interrupt
The action on the pin is based on the value of the
CCPxMODE<3:0> control bits of the CCPxCON regis-
ter. At the same time, the interrupt flag CCPxIF bit is
set, and an ADC conversion can be triggered, if
selected.
All Compare modes can generate an interrupt and
trigger an ADC conversion.
Figure 29-2 shows a simplified diagram of the compare
operation.
FIGURE 29-2: COMPARE MODE
OPERATION BLOCK
DIAGRAM
29.3.1 CCPX PIN CONFIGURATION
The user must configure the CCPx pin as an output by
clearing the associated TRIS bit and defining the
appropriate output pin through the RxyPPS registers.
See Section 13.0 “Peripheral Pin Select (PPS)
Module” for more details.
29.3.2 TIMER1/3/5 MODE RESOURCE
In Compare mode, Timer1/3/5 must be running in either
Timer mode or Synchronized Counter mode. The
compare operation may not work in Asynchronous
Counter mode.
See Section 27.0 “Timer1/3/5 Module with Gate
Control” for more information on configuring
Timer1/3/5.
29.3.3 AUTO-CONVERSION TRIGGER
All CCPx modes set the CCP interrupt flag
(CCPxIF). When this flag is set as a match occurs,
an auto-conversion trigger can occur if the CCP
module is selected as the conversion trigger source.
Refer to Section 22.2.4 “Auto-Conversion Trigger”
for more information.
29.3.4 COMPARE DURING SLEEP
Since FOSC is shut down during Sleep mode, the
Compare mode will not function properly during Sleep,
unless the timer is running. The device will wake on
interrupt (if enabled).
29.3.5 COMPARE INTERRUPTS
The CCPxIF interrupt flag will be set when a match
between the CCPRxH:CCPRxL register pair and the
TMR1/3/5H:TMR1/3/5L register pair occurs. If the
device is in Sleep and interrupts are enabled
(CCPxIE = 1), the device will wake up, assuming
Timer1 is operating during Sleep.
Note: When the CCP is configured in Compare
mode using the ‘toggle output on match’
setting (CCPxMODE<3:0> bits = 0010)
and the reference timer is set for an input
clock prescale other than 1:1, the output
of the CCP will toggle multiple times until
finally settling a ‘0’ logic level. To avoid
this, the timer input clock prescale select
bits must be set to a 1:1 ratio
(TxCKPS = 00).

the CCPx compare output latch to the
default low level. This is not the PORT I/O
data latch.
Note: Clocking Timer1/3/5 from the system clock
(FOSC) should not be used in Compare
mode. In order for Compare mode to
recognize the trigger event on the CCPx
pin, Timer1/3/5 must be clocked from the
instruction clock (FOSC/4) or from an
external clock source.
Note: Removing the Match condition by
changing the contents of the CCPRxH
and CCPRxL register pair, between the
clock edge that generates the
Auto-conversion Trigger and the clock
edge that generates the Timer Reset, will
preclude the Reset from occurring.

29.4 PWM Overview
Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) is a scheme that
provides power to a load by switching quickly between
fully on and fully off states. The PWM signal resembles
a square wave where the high portion of the signal is
considered the ON state and the low portion of the
signal is considered the OFF state. The high portion,
also known as the pulse width, can vary in time and is
defined in steps. A larger number of steps applied,
which lengthens the pulse width, also supplies more
power to the load. Lowering the number of steps
applied, which shortens the pulse width, supplies less
power. The PWM period is defined as the duration of
one complete cycle or the total amount of on and off
time combined.
PWM resolution defines the maximum number of steps
that can be present in a single PWM period. A higher
resolution allows for more precise control of the
pulse-width time and in turn the power that is applied to
the load.
The term duty cycle describes the proportion of the on
time to the off time and is expressed in percentages,
where 0% is fully off and 100% is fully on. A lower duty
cycle corresponds to less power applied and a higher
duty cycle corresponds to more power applied.
Figure 29-3 shows a typical waveform of the PWM
signal.
29.4.1 STANDARD PWM OPERATION
The standard PWM mode generates a Pulse-Width
Modulation (PWM) signal on the CCPx pin with up to 10
bits of resolution. The period, duty cycle, and resolution
are controlled by the following registers:
PR2/4/6 registers
T2/4/6CON registers
CCPRxL registers
CCPxCON registers
Figure 29-4 shows a simplified block diagram of PWM
operation.

29.4.2 SETUP FOR PWM OPERATION
The following steps should be taken when configuring
the CCP module for standard PWM operation:
1. Use the desired output pin RxyPPS control to
select CCPx as the source and disable the
CCPx pin output driver by setting the associated
TRIS bit.
2. Load the PR2 register with the PWM period
value.
3. Configure the CCP module for the PWM mode
by loading the CCPxCON register with the
appropriate values.
4. Load the CCPRxL register and the CCPRxH
register bits, with the PWM duty cycle value and
configure the CCPxFMT bit of the CCPxCON
register to set the proper register alignment.
5. Configure and start Timer2, 4 or 6.
Clear the TMR2/4/6IF interrupt flag bits of
the PIR4 register. See Note below.
Configure the T2/4/6CKPS bits of the
T2/4/6CON register with the Timer
prescale value.
Enable the Timer by setting the
TMR2/4/6ON bit of the T2/4/6CON
register.
6. Enable PWM output pin:
Wait until the Timer overflows and the
TMR2/4/6IF bits of the PIR4 register is set.
See Note below.
Enable the CCPx pin output driver by
clearing the associated TRIS bit.
29.4.3 TIMER2/4/6 TIMER RESOURCE
The PWM standard mode makes use of the 8-bit
Timer2/4/6 timer resources to specify the PWM period.
29.4.4 PWM PERIOD
The PWM period is specified by the PRx register of
Timer2/4/6. The PWM period can be calculated using
the formula of Equation 29-1.
EQUATION 29-1: PWM PERIOD
When TMR2/4/6 is equal to PR2/4/6, the following
three events occur on the next increment cycle:
TMR2/4/6 is cleared
The CCPx pin is set. (Exception: If the PWM duty
cycle = 0%, the pin will not be set.)
The PWM duty cycle is transferred from the
CCPRxL/H register pair into a 10-bit buffer.
29.4.5 PWM DUTY CYCLE
The PWM duty cycle is specified by writing a 10-bit
value to the CCPRxH:CCPRxL register pair. The
alignment of the 10-bit value is determined by the
CCPRxFMT bit of the CCPxCON register (see
Figure 29-5). The CCPRxH:CCPRxL register pair can
be written to at any time; however, the duty cycle value
is not latched into the 10-bit buffer until after a match
between PR2/4/6 and TMR2/4/6.
Equation 29-2 is used to calculate the PWM pulse
width.
Equation 29-3 is used to calculate the PWM duty cycle
ratio.
FIGURE 29-5: PWM 10-BIT ALIGNMENT
BLOCK DIAGRAM
Note: In order to send a complete duty cycle and
period on the first PWM output, the above
steps must be included in the setup
sequence. If it is not critical to start with a
complete PWM signal on the first output,
then step 6 may be ignored.
Note: The Timer postscaler (see Section 28.1
“Timer2 Operation”) is not used in the
determination of the PWM frequency.

EQUATION 29-2: PULSE WIDTH
EQUATION 29-3: DUTY CYCLE RATIO
The CCPRxH:CCPRxL register pair and a 2-bit internal
latch are used to double buffer the PWM duty cycle.
This double buffering provides glitchless PWM
operation.
The 8-bit timer TMR2/4/6 register is concatenated with
either the 2-bit internal system clock (FOSC), or two bits
of the prescaler, to create the 10-bit time base. The
system clock is used if the Timer2/4/6 prescaler is set to
1:1.
When the 10-bit time base matches the
CCPRxH:CCPRxL register pair, then the CCPx pin is
cleared (see Figure 29-4).
29.4.6 PWM RESOLUTION
PWM resolution, expressed in number of bits, defines
the maximum number of discrete steps that can be
present in a single PWM period. For example, a 10-bit
resolution will result in 1024 discrete steps, whereas an
8-bit resolution will result in 256 discrete steps.
The maximum PWM resolution is ten bits when PRx is
255. The resolution is a function of the PRx register
value as shown by Equation 29-4.
EQUATION 29-4: PWM RESOLUTION
29.4.7 OPERATION IN SLEEP MODE
In Sleep mode, the TMR2/4/6 register will not incre-
ment and the state of the module will not change. If the
CCPx pin is driving a value, it will continue to drive that
value. When the device wakes up, TMR2/4/6 will
continue from its previous state.
29.4.8 CHANGES IN SYSTEM CLOCK
FREQUENCY
The PWM frequency is derived from the system clock
frequency. Any changes in the system clock frequency
will result in changes to the PWM frequency. See
Section 7.0 “Oscillator Module” for additional
details.
29.4.9 EFFECTS OF RESET
Any Reset will force all ports to Input mode and the
CCP registers to their Reset states.

30.0 MASTER SYNCHRONOUS
SERIAL PORT (MSSPx)
MODULE
30.1 MSSPx Module Overview
The Master Synchronous Serial Port (MSSPx) 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 MSSPx
module can operate in one of two modes:
Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI)
Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C)
The SPI interface supports the following modes and
features:
Master mode
Slave mode
Clock Polarity
Slave Select Synchronization (Slave mode only)
Daisy-chain connection of slave devices
Figure 30-1 is a block diagram of the SPI interface
module.
FIGURE 30-1: MSSP BLOCK DIAGRAM (SPI MODE)
Note 1: In devices with more than one MSSP
module, it is very important to pay close
attention to the register names used. A
number placed after the module acronym
is used to distinguish between separate
modules. For example, the SSP1STAT
and SSP2STAT control the same
operational aspects of two completely
different MSSP modules.
2: Throughout this section, generic
references to the MSSP1 module in any
of its operating modes may be interpreted
as being equally applicable to MSSPx
module. Register names, module
signals, I/O pins, and bit names may use
the generic designator ‘x’ to indicate the
use of a numeral to distinguish a
particular module, when required.

30.2 SPI Mode Overview
The Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) bus is a
synchronous serial data communication bus that
operates in Full-Duplex mode. Devices communicate
in a master/slave environment where the master device
initiates the communication. A slave device is
controlled through a Chip Select known as Slave
Select.
The SPI bus specifies four signal connections:
Serial Clock (SCK)
Serial Data Out (SDO)
Serial Data In (SDI)
Slave Select (SS)
Figure 30-1 shows the block diagram of the MSSPx
module when operating in SPI mode.
The SPI bus operates with a single master device and
one or more slave devices. When multiple slave
devices are used, an independent Slave Select
connection can be used to address each slave
individually.
Figure 30-4 shows a typical connection between a
master device and multiple slave devices.
The master selects only one slave at a time. Most slave
devices have tri-state outputs so their output signal
appears disconnected from the bus when they are not
selected.
Transmissions involve two shift registers, eight bits in
size, one in the master and one in the slave. Data are
always shifted out one bit at a time, with the Most
Significant bit (MSb) shifted out first. At the same time,
a new Least Significant bit (LSb) is shifted into the
same register.
Figure 30-5 shows a typical connection between two
processors configured as master and slave devices.
Data are shifted out of both shift registers on the
programmed clock edge and latched on the opposite
edge of the clock.
The master device transmits information out on its SDO
output pin which is connected to, and received by, the
slave’s SDI input pin. The slave device transmits infor-
mation out on its SDO output pin, which is connected
to, and received by, the master’s SDI input pin.
To begin communication, the master device first sends
out the clock signal. Both the master and the slave
devices should be configured for the same clock
polarity.
The master device starts a transmission by sending out
the MSb from its shift register. The slave device reads
this bit from that same line and saves it into the LSb
position of its shift register.
During each SPI clock cycle, a full-duplex data
transmission occurs. This means that while the master
device is sending out the MSb from its shift register (on
its SDO pin) and the slave device is reading this bit and
saving it as the LSb of its shift register, that the slave
device is also sending out the MSb from its shift register
(on its SDO pin) and the master device is reading this
bit and saving it as the LSb of its shift register.
After eight bits have been shifted out, the master and
slave have exchanged register values.
If there are more data to exchange, the shift registers
are loaded with new data and the process repeats
itself.
Whether the data are meaningful or not (dummy data),
depends on the application software. This leads to
three scenarios for data transmission:
Master sends useful data and slave sends dummy
data.
Master sends useful data and slave sends useful
data.
Master sends dummy data and slave sends useful
data.
Transmissions must be performed in multiples of eight
clock pulses. When there is no more data to be
transmitted, the master stops sending the clock signal
and it deselects the slave.
Every slave device connected to the bus that has not
been selected through its slave select line must disre-
gard the clock and transmission signals and must not
transmit out any data of its own.

30.2.1 SPI MODE REGISTERS
The MSSPx module has five registers for SPI mode
operation. These are:
MSSPx STATUS register (SSPxSTAT)
MSSPx Control register 1 (SSPxCON1)
MSSPx Control register 3 (SSPxCON3)
MSSPx Data Buffer register (SSPxBUF)
MSSPx Address register (SSPxADD)
MSSPx Shift register (SSPxSR)
(Not directly accessible)
SSPxCON1 and SSPSTAT are the control and
STATUS registers in SPI mode operation. The
SSPxCON1 register is readable and writable. The
lower six bits of the SSPxSTAT are read-only. The
upper two bits of the SSPxSTAT are read/write.
In one SPI Master mode, SSPxADD can be loaded
with a value used in the Baud Rate Generator. More
information on the Baud Rate Generator is available in
Section 30.7 “Baud Rate Generator”.
SSPxSR is the shift register used for shifting data in
and out. SSPxBUF provides indirect access to the
SSPxSR register. SSPxBUF is the buffer register to
which data bytes are written, and from which data
bytes are read.
In receive operations, SSPxSR and SSPxBUF
together create a buffered receiver. When SSPxSR
receives a complete byte, it is transferred to SSPxBUF
and the SSPxIF interrupt is set.
During transmission, the SSPxBUF is not buffered. A
write to SSPxBUF will write to both SSPxBUF and
SSPxSR.
30.2.2 SPI MODE OPERATION
When initializing the SPI, several options need to be
specified. This is done by programming the appropriate
control bits (SSPxCON1<5:0> and SSPxSTAT<7:6>).
These control bits allow the following to be specified:
Master mode (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)
To enable the serial port, SSP Enable bit, SSPEN of the
SSPxCON1 register, must be set. To reset or reconfig-
ure SPI mode, clear the SSPEN bit, re-initialize the
SSPxCONy 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 must have corresponding TRIS bit set
SDO must have corresponding TRIS bit cleared
SCK (Master mode) must have corresponding
TRIS bit cleared
SCK (Slave mode) must have corresponding
TRIS bit set
•SS
must have corresponding TRIS bit set
Any serial port function that is not desired may be
overridden by programming the corresponding data
direction (TRIS) register to the opposite value.

PIC16(L)F18326/18346
The MSSPx consists of a transmit/receive shift register
(SSPxSR) and a buffer register (SSPxBUF). The
SSPxSR shifts the data in and out of the device, MSb
first. The SSPxBUF holds the data that were written to
the SSPxSR until the received data are ready. Once the
eight bits of data have been received, that byte is
moved to the SSPxBUF register. Then, the Buffer Full
Detect bit, BF of the SSPxSTAT register, and the
interrupt flag bit, SSPxIF, are set. Any write to the
SSPxBUF register during transmission/reception of
data will be ignored and the write collision detect bit,
WCOL, of the SSPxCON1 register, will be set. User
software must clear the WCOL bit to allow the following
write(s) to the SSPxBUF register to complete
successfully.
When the application software is expecting to receive
valid data, the SSPxBUF should be read before the
next byte of data to transfer is written to the SSPxBUF.
The Buffer Full bit, BF of the SSPxSTAT register,
indicates when SSPxBUF has been loaded with the
received data (transmission is complete). When the
SSPxBUF is read, the BF bit is cleared. This data may
be irrelevant if the SPI is only a transmitter. Generally,
the MSSP interrupt is used to determine when the
transmission/reception has completed. If the interrupt
method is not going to be used, then software polling
can be done to ensure that a write collision does not
occur.
The SSPxSR is not directly readable or writable and
can only be accessed by addressing the SSPxBUF
register.

30.2.3 SPI MASTER MODE
The master can initiate the data transfer at any time
because it controls the SCK line. The master
determines when the slave (Processor 2, Figure 30-5)
is to broadcast data by the software protocol.
In Master mode, the data are transmitted/received as
soon as the SSPxBUF register is written to. If the SPI
is only going to receive, the SDO output could be
disabled (programmed as an input). The SSPxSR
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 SSPxBUF register as
if a normal received byte (interrupts and Status bits
appropriately set).
The clock polarity is selected by appropriately
programming the CKP bit of the SSPxCON1 register
and the CKE bit of the SSPxSTAT register. This then,
would give waveforms for SPI communication as
shown in Figure 30-6, Figure 30-8, Figure 30-9 and
Figure 30-10, where the MSB is transmitted first. In
Master mode, the SPI clock rate (bit rate) is user
programmable to be one of the following:
•F
OSC/4 (or TCY)
•F
OSC/16 (or 4 * TCY)
•FOSC/64 (or 16 * TCY)
Timer2 output/2
•F
OSC/(4 * (SPPxADD + 1))
Figure 30-6 shows the waveforms for Master mode.
When the CKE bit is set, the SDO data are 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 SSPxBUF is loaded with the received
data are shown.

30.2.4 SPI SLAVE MODE
In Slave mode, the data are transmitted and received
as external clock pulses appear on SCK. When the
last bit is latched, the SSPxIF Interrupt Flag bit is set.
Before enabling the module in SPI Slave mode, the clock
line must match the proper Idle state. The clock line can
be observed by reading the SCK pin. The Idle state is
determined by the CKP bit of the SSPxCON1 register.
While in Slave mode, the external clock is supplied by
the external clock source on the 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. The shift register is clocked from the SCK pin
input and when a byte is received, the device will
generate an interrupt. If enabled, the device will
wake-up from Sleep.
30.2.4.1 Daisy-Chain Configuration
The SPI bus can sometimes be connected in a
daisy-chain configuration. The first slave output is
connected to the second slave input, the second slave
output is connected to the third slave input, and so on.
The final slave output is connected to the master input.
Each slave sends out, during a second group of clock
pulses, an exact copy of what was received during the
first group of clock pulses. The whole chain acts as
one large communication shift register. The
daisy-chain feature only requires a single Slave Select
line from the master device.
Figure 30-7 shows the block diagram of a typical
daisy-chain connection when operating in SPI mode.
In a daisy-chain configuration, only the most recent
byte on the bus is required by the slave. Setting the
BOEN bit of the SSPxCON3 register will enable writes
to the SSPxBUF register, even if the previous byte has
not been read. This allows the software to ignore data
that may not apply to it.
30.2.5 SLAVE SELECT
SYNCHRONIZATION
The Slave Select can also be used to synchronize
communication. The Slave Select line is held high until
the master device is ready to communicate. When the
Slave Select line is pulled low, the slave knows that a
new transmission is starting.
If the slave fails to receive the communication properly,
it will be reset at the end of the transmission, when the
Slave Select line returns to a high state. The slave is
then ready to receive a new transmission when the
Slave Select line is pulled low again. If the Slave Select
line is not used, there is a risk that the slave will
eventually become out of sync with the master. If the
slave misses a bit, it will always be one bit off in future
transmissions. Use of the Slave Select line allows the
slave and master to align themselves at the beginning
of each transmission.
The SS pin allows a Synchronous Slave mode. The
SPI must be in Slave mode with SS pin control enabled
(SSPxCON1<3:0> = 0100).
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 applica-
tion.
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.
Note 1: When the SPI is in Slave mode with SS pin
control enabled (SSPxCON1<3:0> =
0100), the SPI module will reset if the SS
pin is set to VDD.
2: When the SPI is used in Slave mode with
CKE set; the user must enable SS pin
control.
3: While operated in SPI Slave mode the
SMP bit of the SSPxSTAT register must
remain clear.

30.2.6 SPI OPERATION IN SLEEP MODE
In SPI Master mode, when the Sleep mode is selected,
all module clocks are halted and the transmis-
sion/reception will remain in that state until the device
wakes. After the device returns to Run mode, the
module will resume transmitting and receiving data.
In SPI Slave mode, the SPI Transmit/Receive Shift
register operates asynchronously to the device. This
allows the device to be placed in Sleep mode and data
to be shifted into the SPI Transmit/Receive Shift
register. When all eight bits have been received, the
MSSP interrupt flag bit will be set and if enabled, will
wake the device.
30.3 I2C Mode Overview
The Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C) bus is a multi-master
serial data communication bus. Devices communicate
in a master/slave environment where the master
devices initiate the communication. A slave device is
controlled through addressing.
The I2C bus specifies two signal connections:
Serial Clock (SCL)
Serial Data (SDA)
Figure 30-11 shows the block diagram of the MSSPx
module when operating in I2C mode.
Both the SCL and SDA connections are bidirectional
open-drain lines, each requiring pull-up resistors for the
supply voltage. Pulling the line to ground is considered
a logical zero and letting the line float is considered a
logical one.
Figure 30-2 and Figure 30-3 show a typical connection
between two processors configured as master and
slave devices.
The I2C bus can operate with one or more master
devices and one or more slave devices.
There are four potential modes of operation for a given
device:
Master Transmit mode
(master is transmitting data to a slave)
Master Receive mode
(master is receiving data from a slave)
Slave Transmit mode
(slave is transmitting data to a master)
Slave Receive mode
(slave is receiving data from the master)
To begin communication, the master device sends out
a Start condition followed by the address byte of the
slave it intends to communicate with. This is followed
by a single Read/Write bit, which determines whether
the master intends to transmit to or receive data from
the slave device.
If the requested slave exists on the bus, it will respond
with an Acknowledge bit, otherwise known as an ACK.
The master then continues in either transmit or receive
data from the slave device.
FIGURE 30-11: I2C MASTER/
SLAVE CONNECTION
On the last byte of data communicated, the master
device may end the transmission by sending a Stop bit.
If the master device is in Receive mode, it sends a
NACK in place of the last ACK bit. A Stop bit is
indicated by a low-to-high transition of the SDA line
while the SCL line is held high.
In some cases, the master may want to maintain
control of the bus and re-initiate another transmission.
If so, the master device may send a Restart condition
in place of the Stop bit or last ACK bit when it is in
Receive mode.
The I2C bus specifies three message protocols;
Single message where a master writes data to a
slave.
Single message where a master reads data from
a slave.
Combined message where a master initiates a
minimum of two writes, or two reads, or a
combination of writes and reads, to one or more
slaves.
30.3.1 CLOCK STRETCHING
When a slave device has not completed processing
data, it can delay the transfer of more data through the
process of clock stretching. An addressed slave device
may hold the SCL clock line low after receiving or send-
ing a bit, indicating that it is not yet ready to continue.
The master that is communicating with the slave will
attempt to raise the SCL line in order to transfer the
next bit, but will detect that the clock line has not yet
been released. Because the SCL connection is
open-drain, the slave has the ability to hold that line low
until it is ready to continue communicating.
Clock stretching allows receivers that cannot keep up
with a transmitter to control the flow of incoming data.

PIC16(L)F18326/18346
30.3.2 ARBITRATION
Each master device must monitor the bus for Start and
Stop bits. If the device detects that the bus is busy, it
cannot begin a new message until the bus returns to an
Idle state.
However, two master devices may try to initiate a
transmission on or about the same time. When this
occurs, the process of arbitration begins. Each
transmitter checks the level of the SDA data line and
compares it to the level that it expects to find. The first
transmitter to observe that the two levels do not match,
loses arbitration, and must stop transmitting on the
SDA line.
For example, if one transmitter holds the SDA line to a
logical one (lets it float) and a second transmitter holds
it to a logical zero (pulls it low), the result is that the
SDA line will be low. The first transmitter then observes
that the level of the line is different than expected and
concludes that another transmitter is communicating.
The first transmitter to notice this difference is the one
that loses arbitration and must stop driving the SDA
line. If this transmitter is also a master device, it also
must stop driving the SCL line. It then can monitor the
lines for a Stop condition before trying to reissue its
transmission. In the meantime, the other device that
has not noticed any difference between the expected
and actual levels on the SDA line continues with its
original transmission.
Slave Transmit mode can also be arbitrated, when a
master addresses multiple slaves, but this is less
common.

DS40001839D-page 326 2016-2018 Microchip Technology Inc.
30.4 I2C MODE OPERATION
All MSSP I2C communication is byte oriented and
shifted out MSb first. Six SFR registers and two
interrupt flags interface the module with the PIC®
microcontroller and user software. Two pins, SDA and
SCL, are exercised by the module to communicate
with other external I2C devices.
30.4.1 BYTE FORMAT
All communication in I2C is done in 9-bit segments. A
byte is sent from a master to a slave or vice-versa,
followed by an Acknowledge bit sent back. After the
eighth falling edge of the SCL line, the device output-
ting data on the SDA changes that pin to an input and
reads in an acknowledge value on the next clock
pulse.
The clock signal, SCL, is provided by the master. Data
are valid to change while the SCL signal is low, and
sampled on the rising edge of the clock. Changes on
the SDA line while the SCL line is high define special
conditions on the bus, explained below.
30.4.2 DEFINITION OF I2C TERMINOLOGY
There is language and terminology in the description
of I2C communication that have definitions specific to
I2C. That word usage is defined below and may be
used in the rest of this document without explanation.
This table was adapted from the Philips I2C
specification.
30.4.3 SDA AND SCL PINS
When selecting any I2C mode, the SCL and SDA pins
should be set by the user to inputs by setting the
appropriate TRIS bits.
30.4.4 SDA HOLD TIME
The hold time of the SDA pin is selected by the SDAHT
bit of the SSPxCON3 register. Hold time is the time
SDA is held valid after the falling edge of SCL. Setting
the SDAHT bit selects a longer 300 ns minimum hold
time and may help on buses with large capacitance.
Note: Any device pin can be selected for SDA
and SCL functions with the PPS
peripheral. These functions are
bidirectional. The SDA input is selected
with the SSPDATPPS registers. The SCL
input is selected with the SSPCLKPPS
registers. Outputs are selected with the
RxyPPS registers. It is the user’s
responsibility to make the selections so
that both the input and the output for each
function is on the same pin.

PIC16(L)F18326/18346
30.4.5 START CONDITION
The I2C specification defines a Start condition as a
transition of SDA from a high to a low state while SCL
line is high. A Start condition is always generated by
the master and signifies the transition of the bus from
an Idle to an Active state. Figure 30-12 shows wave
forms for Start and Stop conditions.
30.4.6 STOP CONDITION
A Stop condition is a transition of the SDA line from
low-to-high state while the SCL line is high.
30.4.7 RESTART CONDITION
A Restart is valid any time that a Stop would be valid.
A master can issue a Restart if it wishes to hold the
bus after terminating the current transfer. A Restart
has the same effect on the slave that a Start would,
resetting all slave logic and preparing it to clock in an
address. The master may want to address the same or
another slave. Figure 30-13 shows the wave form for a
Restart condition.
In 10-bit Addressing Slave mode a Restart is required
for the master to clock data out of the addressed
slave. Once a slave has been fully addressed, match-
ing both high and low address bytes, the master can
issue a Restart and the high address byte with the
R/W bit set. The slave logic will then hold the clock
and prepare to clock out data.
30.4.8 START/STOP CONDITION
INTERRUPT MASKING
The SCIE and PCIE bits of the SSPxCON3 register
can enable the generation of an interrupt in Slave
modes that do not typically support this function. Slave
modes where interrupt on Start and Stop detect are
already enabled, these bits will have no effect.
FIGURE 30-12: I2C START AND STOP CONDITIONS
FIGURE 30-13: I2C RESTART CONDITION
Note: At least one SCL low time must appear
before a Stop is valid, therefore, if the SDA
line goes low then high again while the SCL
line stays high, only the Start condition is
detected.

30.4.9 ACKNOWLEDGE SEQUENCE
The ninth SCL pulse for any transferred byte in I2C is
dedicated as an Acknowledge. It allows receiving
devices to respond back to the transmitter by pulling
the SDA line low. The transmitter must release control
of the line during this time to shift in the response. The
Acknowledge (ACK) is an active-low signal, pulling the
SDA line low indicates to the transmitter that the
device has received the transmitted data and is ready
to receive more.
The result of an ACK is placed in the ACKSTAT bit of
the SSPxCON2 register.
Slave software, when the AHEN and DHEN bits are
set, the clock is stretched, allowing the slave time to
change the ACK value before it is sent back to the
transmitter. The ACKDT bit of the SSPxCON2 register
is set/cleared to determine the response.
There are certain conditions where an ACK will not be
sent by the slave. If the BF bit of the SSPxSTAT
register or the SSPOV bit of the SSPxCON1 register
are set when a byte is received.
When the module is addressed, after the eighth falling
edge of SCL on the bus, the ACKTIM bit of the
SSPxCON3 register is set. The ACKTIM bit indicates
the acknowledge time of the active bus. The ACKTIM
Status bit is only active when the AHEN bit or DHEN
bit is enabled.
30.5 I2C SLAVE MODE OPERATION
The MSSP Slave mode operates in one of four modes
selected by the SSPM bits of SSPxCON1 register. The
modes can be divided into 7-bit and 10-bit Addressing
mode. 10-bit Addressing modes operate the same as
7-bit with some additional overhead for handling the
larger addresses.
Modes with Start and Stop bit interrupts operate the
same as the other modes with SSPxIF additionally
getting set upon detection of a Start, Restart, or Stop
condition.
30.5.1 SLAVE MODE ADDRESSES
The SSPxADD register (Register 30-6) contains the
Slave mode address. The first byte received after a
Start or Restart condition is compared against the
value stored in this register. If the byte matches, the
value is loaded into the SSPxBUF register and an
interrupt is generated. If the value does not match, the
module goes idle and no indication is given to the
software that anything happened.
The SSP Mask register (Register 30-5) affects the
address matching process. See Section 30.5.9 “SSP
Mask Register” for more information.
30.5.1.1 I2C Slave 7-bit Addressing Mode
In 7-bit Addressing mode, the LSb of the received data
byte is ignored when determining if there is an address
match.
30.5.1.2 I2C Slave 10-bit Addressing Mode
In 10-bit Addressing mode, the first received byte is
compared to the binary value of ‘1 1 1 1 0 A9 A8 0’. A9
and A8 are the two MSb’s of the 10-bit address and
stored in bits 2 and 1 of the SSPxADD register.
After the acknowledge of the high byte the UA bit is set
and SCL is held low until the user updates SSPxADD
with the low address. The low address byte is clocked
in and all eight bits are compared to the low address
value in SSPxADD. Even if there is not an address
match; SSPIF and UA are set, and SCL is held low
until SSPxADD is updated to receive a high byte
again. When SSPxADD is updated the UA bit is
cleared. This ensures the module is ready to receive
the high address byte on the next communication.
A high and low address match as a write request is
required at the start of all 10-bit addressing communi-
cation. A transmission can be initiated by issuing a
Restart once the slave is addressed, and clocking in
the high address with the R/W bit set. The slave
hardware will then acknowledge the read request and
prepare to clock out data. This is only valid for a slave
after it has received a complete high and low address
byte match.

30.5.2 SLAVE RECEPTION
When the R/W bit of a matching received address byte
is clear, the R/W bit of the SSPxSTAT register is
cleared. The received address is loaded into the
SSPxBUF register and acknowledged.
When the Overflow condition exists for a received
address, then not Acknowledge is given. An Overflow
condition is defined as either bit BF of the SSPxSTAT
register is set, or bit SSPOV of the SSPxCON1 register
is set. The BOEN bit of the SSPxCON3 register modi-
fies this operation. For more information see
Register 30-4.
An MSSP interrupt is generated for each transferred
data byte. Flag bit, SSPxIF, must be cleared by
software.
When the SEN bit of the SSPxCON2 register is set,
SCL will be held low (clock stretch) following each
received byte. The clock must be released by setting
the CKP bit of the SSPxCON1 register.
30.5.2.1 7-bit Addressing Reception
This section describes a standard sequence of events
for the MSSPx module configured as an I2C slave in
7-bit Addressing mode. Figure 30-14 and Figure 30-15
is used as a visual reference for this description.
This is a step-by-step process of what typically must
be done to accomplish I2C communication.
1. Start bit detected.
2. S bit of SSPxSTAT is set; SSPxIF is set if inter-
rupt on Start detect is enabled.
3. Matching address with R/W bit clear is received.
4. The slave pulls SDA low sending an ACK to the
master, and sets SSPxIF bit.
5. Software clears the SSPxIF bit.
6. Software reads received address from
SSPxBUF clearing the BF flag.
7. If SEN = 1; Slave software sets CKP bit to
release the SCL line.
8. The master clocks out a data byte.
9. Slave drives SDA low sending an ACK to the
master, and sets SSPxIF bit.
10. Software clears SSPxIF.
11. Software reads the received byte from
SSPxBUF clearing BF.
12. Steps 8-12 are repeated for all received bytes
from the master.
13. Master sends Stop condition, setting P bit of
SSPxSTAT, and the bus goes idle.
30.5.2.2 7-bit Reception with AHEN and
DHEN
Slave device reception with AHEN and DHEN set
operate the same as without these options with extra
interrupts and clock stretching added after the eighth
falling edge of SCL. These additional interrupts allow
time for the slave software to decide whether it wants
to ACK the receive address or data byte.
This list describes the steps that need to be taken by
slave software to use these options for I2C communi-
cation. Figure 30-16 displays a module using both
address and data holding. Figure 30-17 includes the
operation with the SEN bit of the SSPxCON2 register
set.
1. S bit of SSPxSTAT is set; SSPxIF is set if
interrupt on Start detect is enabled.
2. Matching address with R/W bit clear is clocked
in. SSPxIF is set and CKP cleared after the
eighth falling edge of SCL.
3. Slave clears the SSPxIF.
4. Slave can look at the ACKTIM bit of the
SSPxCON3 register to determine if the SSPxIF
was after or before the ACK.
5. Slave reads the address value from SSPxBUF,
clearing the BF flag.
6. Slave sets ACK value clocked out to the master
by setting ACKDT.
7. Slave releases the clock by setting CKP.
8. SSPxIF is set after an ACK, not after a NACK.
9. If SEN = 1 the slave hardware will stretch the
clock after the ACK.
10. Slave clears SSPxIF.
11. SSPxIF set and CKP cleared after eighth falling
edge of SCL for a received data byte.
12. Slave looks at ACKTIM bit of SSPxCON3 to
determine the source of the interrupt.
13. Slave reads the received data from SSPxBUF
clearing BF.
14. Steps 7-14 are the same for each received data
byte.
15. Communication is ended by either the slave
sending an ACK =1, or the master sending a
Stop condition. If a Stop is sent and Interrupt on
Stop Detect is disabled, the slave will only know
by polling the P bit of the SSPxSTAT register.
Note: SSPxIF is still set after the ninth falling edge
of SCL even if there is no clock stretching
and BF has been cleared. Only if NACK is
sent to master is SSPIF not set

30.5.3 SLAVE TRANSMISSION
When the R/W bit of the incoming address byte is set
and an address match occurs, the R/W bit of the
SSPxSTAT register is set. The received address is
loaded into the SSPxBUF register, and an ACK pulse is
sent by the slave on the ninth bit.
Following the ACK, slave hardware clears the CKP bit
and the SCL pin is held low (see Section 30.5.6
“Clock Stretching” for more detail). By stretching the
clock, the master will be unable to assert another clock
pulse until the slave is done preparing the transmit
data.
The transmit data must be loaded into the SSPxBUF
register which also loads the SSPxSR register. Then
the SCL pin should be released by setting the CKP bit
of the SSPxCON1 register. The eight data bits are
shifted out on the falling edge of the SCL input. This
ensures that the SDA signal is valid during the SCL
high time.
The ACK pulse from the master-receiver is latched on
the rising edge of the ninth SCL input pulse. This ACK
value is copied to the ACKSTAT bit of the SSPxCON2
register. If ACKSTAT is set (not ACK), then the data
transfer is complete. When the not ACK is latched by the
slave, the slave goes idle and waits for another
occurrence of the Start bit. If the SDA line was low
(ACK), the next transmit data must be loaded into the
SSPxBUF register. Again, the SCL pin must be released
by setting bit CKP.
An MSSP interrupt is generated for each data transfer
byte. The SSPxIF bit must be cleared by software and
the SSPxSTAT register is used to determine the status
of the byte. The SSPxIF bit is set on the falling edge of
the ninth clock pulse.
30.5.3.1 Slave Mode Bus Collision
A slave receives a Read request and begins shifting
data out on the SDA line. If a bus collision is detected
and the SBCDE bit of the SSPxCON3 register is set,
the BCLIF bit of the PIR register is set. Once a bus col-
lision is detected, the slave goes idle and waits to be
addressed again. User software can use the BCLIF bit
to handle a slave bus collision.
30.5.3.2 7-bit Transmission
A master device can transmit a read request to a
slave, and then clock data out of the slave. The list
below outlines what software for a slave will need to
do to accomplish a standard transmission.
Figure 30-18 can be used as a reference to this list.
1. Master sends a Start condition on SDA and
SCL.
2. S bit of SSPxSTAT is set; SSPxIF is set if
interrupt on Start detect is enabled.
3. Matching address with R/W bit set is received by
the Slave setting SSPxIF bit.
4. Slave hardware generates an ACK and sets
SSPxIF.
5. SSPxIF bit is cleared by user.
6. Software reads the received address from
SSPxBUF, clearing BF.
7. R/W is set so CKP was automatically cleared
after the ACK.
8. The slave software loads the transmit data into
SSPxBUF.
9. CKP bit is set releasing SCL, allowing the
master to clock the data out of the slave.
10. SSPxIF is set after the ACK response from the
master is loaded into the ACKSTAT register.
11. SSPxIF bit is cleared.
12. The slave software checks the ACKSTAT bit to
see if the master wants to clock out more data.
13. Steps 9-13 are repeated for each transmitted
byte.
14. If the master sends a not ACK; the clock is not
held, but SSPxIF is still set.
15. The master sends a Restart condition or a Stop.
16. The slave is no longer addressed.
Note 1: If the master ACKs the clock will be
stretched.
2: ACKSTAT is the only bit updated on the
rising edge of SCL (9th) rather than the
falling.

30.5.3.3 7-bit Transmission with Address
Hold Enabled
Setting the AHEN bit of the SSPxCON3 register
enables additional clock stretching and interrupt
generation after the eighth falling edge of a received
matching address. Once a matching address has
been clocked in, CKP is cleared and the SSPxIF
interrupt is set.
Figure 30-19 displays a standard waveform of a 7-bit
address slave transmission with AHEN enabled.
1. Bus starts Idle.
2. Master sends Start condition; the S bit of
SSPxSTAT is set; SSPxIF is set if interrupt on
Start detect is enabled.
3. Master sends matching address with R/W bit
set. After the eighth falling edge of the SCL line
the CKP bit is cleared and SSPxIF interrupt is
generated.
4. Slave software clears SSPxIF.
5. Slave software reads ACKTIM bit of SSPxCON3
register, and R/W and D/A of the SSPxSTAT
register to determine the source of the interrupt.
6. Slave reads the address value from the
SSPxBUF register clearing the BF bit.
7. Slave software decides from this information if it
wishes to ACK or not ACK and sets the ACKDT
bit of the SSPxCON2 register accordingly.
8. Slave sets the CKP bit releasing SCL.
9. Master clocks in the ACK value from the slave.
10. Slave hardware automatically clears the CKP bit
and sets SSPxIF after the ACK if the R/W bit is
set.
11. Slave software clears SSPxIF.
12. Slave loads value to transmit to the master into
SSPxBUF setting the BF bit.
13. Slave sets the CKP bit releasing the clock.
14. Master clocks out the data from the slave and
sends an ACK value on the ninth SCL pulse.
15. Slave hardware copies the ACK value into the
ACKSTAT bit of the SSPxCON2 register.
16. Steps 10-15 are repeated for each byte transmit-
ted to the master from the slave.
17. If the master sends a not ACK the slave
releases the bus allowing the master to send a
Stop and end the communication.
Note: SSPxBUF cannot be loaded until after the
ACK.
Note: Master must send a not ACK on the last
byte to ensure that the slave releases the
SCL line to receive a Stop.

30.5.4 SLAVE MODE 10-BIT ADDRESS
RECEPTION
This section describes a standard sequence of events
for the MSSPx module configured as an I2C slave in
10-bit Addressing mode.
Figure 30-20 is used as a visual reference for this
description.
This is a step-by-step process of what must be done
by slave software to accomplish I2C communication.
1. Bus starts Idle.
2. Master sends Start condition; S bit of SSPxSTAT
is set; SSPxIF is set if interrupt on Start detect is
enabled.
3. Master sends matching high address with R/W
bit clear; UA bit of the SSPxSTAT register is set.
4. Slave sends ACK and SSPxIF is set.
5. Software clears the SSPxIF bit.
6. Software reads received address from
SSPxBUF clearing the BF flag.
7. Slave loads low address into SSPxADD,
releasing SCL.
8. Master sends matching low address byte to the
slave; UA bit is set.
9. Slave sends ACK and SSPxIF is set.
10. Slave clears SSPxIF.
11. Slave reads the received matching address
from SSPxBUF clearing BF.
12. Slave loads high address into SSPxADD.
13. Master clocks a data byte to the slave and
clocks out the slaves ACK on the ninth SCL
pulse; SSPxIF is set.
14. If SEN bit of SSPxCON2 is set, CKP is cleared
by hardware and the clock is stretched.
15. Slave clears SSPxIF.
16. Slave reads the received byte from SSPxBUF
clearing BF.
17. If SEN is set the slave sets CKP to release the
SCL.
18. Steps 13-17 repeat for each received byte.
19. Master sends Stop to end the transmission.
30.5.5 10-BIT ADDRESSING WITH
ADDRESS OR DATA HOLD
Reception using 10-bit addressing with AHEN or
DHEN set is the same as with 7-bit modes. The only
difference is the need to update the SSPxADD register
using the UA bit. All functionality, specifically when the
CKP bit is cleared and SCL line is held low are the
same. Figure 30-21 can be used as a reference of a
slave in 10-bit addressing with AHEN set.
Figure 30-22 shows a standard waveform for a slave
transmitter in 10-bit Addressing mode.
Note: Updates to the SSPxADD register are not
allowed until after the ACK sequence.
Note: If the low address does not match, SSPxIF
and UA are still set so that the slave
software can set SSPxADD back to the high
address. BF is not set because there is no
match. CKP is unaffected.

30.5.6 CLOCK STRETCHING
Clock stretching occurs when a device on the bus
holds the SCL line low, effectively pausing communi-
cation. The slave may stretch the clock to allow more
time to handle data or prepare a response for the
master device. A master device is not concerned with
stretching as anytime it is active on the bus and not
transferring data it is stretching. Any stretching done
by a slave is invisible to the master software and
handled by the hardware that generates SCL.
The CKP bit of the SSPxCON1 register is used to
control stretching in software. Any time the CKP bit is
cleared, the module will wait for the SCL line to go low
and then hold it. Setting CKP will release SCL and
allow more communication.
30.5.6.1 Normal Clock Stretching
Following an ACK if the R/W bit of SSPxSTAT is set, a
read request, the slave hardware will clear CKP. This
allows the slave time to update SSPxBUF with data to
transfer to the master. If the SEN bit of SSPxCON2 is
set, the slave hardware will always stretch the clock
after the ACK sequence. Once the slave is ready; CKP
is set by software and communication resumes.
30.5.6.2 10-bit Addressing Mode
In 10-bit Addressing mode, when the UA bit is set, the
clock is always stretched. This is the only time the SCL
is stretched without CKP being cleared. SCL is
released immediately after a write to SSPxADD.
30.5.6.3 Byte NACKing
When the AHEN bit of SSPxCON3 is set; CKP is
cleared by hardware after the eighth falling edge of
SCL for a received matching address byte. When the
DHEN bit of SSPxCON3 is set; CKP is cleared after
the eighth falling edge of SCL for received data.
Stretching after the eighth falling edge of SCL allows
the slave to look at the received address or data and
decide if it wants to ACK the received data.
30.5.7 CLOCK SYNCHRONIZATION AND
THE CKP BIT
Any time the CKP bit is cleared, the module will wait
for the SCL line to go low and then hold it. However,
clearing the CKP bit will not assert the SCL output low
until the SCL output is already sampled low. There-
fore, 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
released SCL. This ensures that a write to the CKP bit
will not violate the minimum high time requirement for
SCL (see Figure 30-23).
FIGURE 30-23: CLOCK SYNCHRONIZATION TIMING
Note: Previous versions of the module did not
stretch the clock if the second address byte
did not match.

30.5.8 GENERAL CALL ADDRESS
SUPPORT
The addressing procedure for the I2C bus is such that
the first byte after the Start condition usually deter-
mines which device will be the slave addressed by the
master device. The exception is the general call
address which can address all devices. When this
address is used, all devices should, in theory, respond
with an acknowledge.
The general call address is a reserved address in the
I2C protocol, defined as address 0x00. When the
GCEN bit of the SSPxCON2 register is set, the slave
module will automatically ACK the reception of this
address regardless of the value stored in SSPxADD.
After the slave clocks in an address of all zeros with
the R/W bit clear, an interrupt is generated and slave
software can read SSPxBUF and respond.
Figure 30-24 shows a general call reception
sequence.
In 10-bit Address mode, the UA bit will not be set on
the reception of the general call address. The slave
will prepare to receive the second byte as data, just as
it would in 7-bit mode.
If the AHEN bit of the SSPxCON3 register is set, just
as with any other address reception, the slave hard-
ware will stretch the clock after the eighth falling edge
of SCL. The slave must then set its ACKDT value and
release the clock with communication progressing as it
would normally.
FIGURE 30-24: SLAVE MODE GENERAL CALL ADDRESS SEQUENCE
30.5.9 SSP MASK REGISTER
An SSP Mask (SPPxMSK) register (Register 30-5) is
available in I2C Slave mode as a mask for the value
held in the SSPxSR register during an address
comparison operation. A zero (‘0’) bit in the SSPxMSK
register has the effect of making the corresponding bit
of the received address a “don’t care”.
This register is reset to all ‘1’s upon any Reset
condition and, therefore, has no effect on standard
SSP operation until written with a mask value.
The SSP Mask register is active during:
7-bit Address mode: address compare of A<7:1>.
10-bit Address mode: address compare of A<7:0>
only. The SSP mask has no effect during the
reception of the first (high) byte of the address.

30.6 I2C Master Mode
Master mode is enabled by setting and clearing the
appropriate SSPM<3:0> bits in the SSPxCON1 register
and by setting the SSPEN bit. In Master mode, the SDA
and SCK pins must be configured as inputs. The MSSP
peripheral hardware will override the output driver TRIS
controls when necessary to drive the pins low.
Master mode of operation is supported by interrupt
generation on the detection of the Start and Stop
conditions. The Stop (P) and Start (S) bits are cleared
from a Reset or when the MSSPx module is disabled.
Control of the I2C bus may be taken when the P bit is
set, or the bus is Idle.
In Firmware Controlled Master mode, user code
conducts all I2C bus operations based on Start and
Stop bit condition detection. Start and Stop condition
detection is the only active circuitry in this mode. All
other communication is done by the user software
directly manipulating the SDA and SCL lines.
The following events will cause the SSP Interrupt Flag
bit, SSPxIF, to be set (SSP interrupt, if enabled):
Start condition generation
Stop condition generation
Data transfer byte transmitted/received
Acknowledge transmitted/received
Repeated Start generated
30.6.1 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 are 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 are
transmitted eight bits at a time. After each byte is
transmitted, 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 ‘1to indicate the receive bit.
Serial data are received via SDA, while SCL outputs
the serial clock. Serial data are received eight bits at a
time. After each byte is received, an Acknowledge bit is
transmitted. Start and Stop conditions indicate the
beginning and end of transmission.
A Baud Rate Generator is used to set the clock
frequency output on SCL. See Section 30.7 “Baud
Rate Generator” for more detail.
Note 1: The MSSPx module, when configured in
I2C Master mode, does not allow queuing
of events. For instance, the user is not
allowed to initiate a Start condition and
immediately write the SSPxBUF register
to initiate transmission before the Start
condition is complete. In this case, the
SSPxBUF will not be written to and the
WCOL bit will be set, indicating that a
write to the SSPxBUF did not occur
2: When in Master mode, Start/Stop
detection is masked and an interrupt is
generated when the SEN/PEN bit is
cleared and the generation is complete.

30.6.2 CLOCK ARBITRATION
Clock arbitration occurs when the master, during any
receive, transmit or Repeated Start/Stop condition,
releases 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 SSPxADD<7:0> and begins count-
ing. 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 30-25).
FIGURE 30-25: BAUD RATE GENERATOR TIMING WITH CLOCK ARBITRATION
30.6.3 WCOL STATUS FLAG
If the user writes the SSPxBUF when a Start, Restart,
Stop, Receive or Transmit sequence is in progress, the
WCOL is set and the contents of the buffer are
unchanged (the write does not occur). Any time the
WCOL bit is set it indicates that an action on SSPxBUF
was attempted while the module was not idle.

30.6.4 I2C MASTER MODE START
CONDITION TIMING
To initiate a Start condition (Figure 30-26), the user
sets the Start Enable bit, SEN bit of the SSPxCON2
register. If the SDA and SCL pins are sampled high,
the Baud Rate Generator is reloaded with the contents
of SSPxADD<7:0> 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 of the
SSPxSTAT register to be set. Following this, the Baud
Rate Generator is reloaded with the contents of
SSPxADD<7:0> and resumes its count. When the
Baud Rate Generator times out (TBRG), the SEN bit of
the SSPxCON2 register will be automatically cleared
by hardware; the Baud Rate Generator is suspended,
leaving the SDA line held low and the Start condition is
complete.
FIGURE 30-26: FIRST START BIT TIMING
Note 1: If at the beginning of the Start condition,
the SDA and SCL pins are already
sampled low, or if during the Start condi-
tion, 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.
2: The Philips I2C specification states that a
bus collision cannot occur on a Start.

30.6.5 I2C MASTER MODE REPEATED
START CONDITION TIMING
A Repeated Start condition (Figure 30-27) occurs when
the RSEN bit of the SSPxCON2 register is
programmed high and the master state machine is no
longer active. When the RSEN bit is set, the SCL pin is
asserted low. When the SCL pin is sampled low, the
Baud Rate Generator is loaded 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
and begins counting. 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. SCL is asserted low. Following this, the
RSEN bit of the SSPxCON2 register will be
automatically cleared and the Baud Rate Generator will
not be reloaded, leaving the SDA pin held low. As soon
as a Start condition is detected on the SDA and SCL
pins, the S bit of the SSPxSTAT register will be set. The
SSPxIF bit will not be set until the Baud Rate Generator
has timed out.
FIGURE 30-27: REPEATED START CONDITION WAVEFORM
Note 1: If RSEN is programmed while any other
event is in progress, it will not take effect.
2: A bus collision during the Repeated Start
condition occurs if:
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 data1’.

30.6.6 I2C MASTER MODE
TRANSMISSION
Transmission of a data byte, a 7-bit address or the
other half of a 10-bit address is accomplished by simply
writing a value to the SSPxBUF register. This action will
set the Buffer Full flag bit, BF, and allow the Baud Rate
Generator to begin counting and start the next
transmission. Each bit of address/data will be shifted
out onto the SDA pin after the falling edge of SCL is
asserted. SCL is held low for one Baud Rate Generator
rollover count (TBRG). Data should be valid before SCL
is released high. 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 were received
properly. The status of ACK is written into the
ACKSTAT bit on the rising edge of the ninth clock. If the
master receives an Acknowledge, the Acknowledge
Status bit, ACKSTAT, is cleared. If not, the bit is set.
After the ninth clock, the SSPIF bit is set and the master
clock (Baud Rate Generator) is suspended until the
next data byte is loaded into the SSPxBUF, leaving
SCL low and SDA unchanged (Figure 30-28).
After the write to the SSPxBUF, 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
release 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 of the SSPxCON2
register. Following the falling edge of the ninth clock
transmission of the address, the SSPxIF is set, the BF
flag is cleared and the Baud Rate Generator is turned
off until another write to the SSPxBUF takes place,
holding SCL low and allowing SDA to float.
30.6.6.1 BF Status Flag
In Transmit mode, the BF bit of the SSPxSTAT register
is set when the CPU writes to SSPxBUF and is cleared
when all eight bits are shifted out.
30.6.6.2 WCOL Status Flag
If the user writes the SSPxBUF when a transmit is
already in progress (i.e., SSPxSR is still shifting out a
data byte), the WCOL bit is set and the contents of the
buffer are unchanged (the write does not occur).
WCOL must be cleared by software before the next
transmission.
30.6.6.3 ACKSTAT Status Flag
In Transmit mode, the ACKSTAT bit of the SSPxCON2
register is cleared when the slave has sent an
Acknowledge (ACK =0) and is set when the slave
does not Acknowledge (ACK =1). A slave sends an
Acknowledge when it has recognized its address
(including a general call), or when the slave has
properly received its data.
30.6.6.4 Typical Transmit Sequence
1. The user generates a Start condition by setting
the SEN bit of the SSPxCON2 register.
2. SSPxIF is set by hardware on completion of the
Start.
3. SSPxIF is cleared by software.
4. The MSSPx module will wait the required start
time before any other operation takes place.
5. The user loads the SSPxBUF with the slave
address to transmit.
6. Address is shifted out the SDA pin until all eight
bits are transmitted. Transmission begins as
soon as SSPxBUF is written to.
7. The MSSPx module shifts in the ACK bit from
the slave device and writes its value into the
ACKSTAT bit of the SSPxCON2 register.
8. The MSSPx module generates an interrupt at
the end of the ninth clock cycle by setting the
SSPxIF bit.
9. The user loads the SSPxBUF with eight bits of
data.
10. Data are shifted out the SDA pin until all eight
bits are transmitted.
11. The MSSPx module shifts in the ACK bit from
the slave device and writes its value into the
ACKSTAT bit of the SSPxCON2 register.
12. Steps 8-11 are repeated for all transmitted data
bytes.
13. The user generates a Stop or Restart condition
by setting the PEN or RSEN bits of the
SSPxCON2 register. Interrupt is generated once
the Stop/Restart condition is complete.

30.6.7 I2C MASTER MODE RECEPTION
Master mode reception (Figure 30-29) is enabled by
programming the Receive Enable bit, RCEN bit of the
SSPxCON2 register.
The Baud Rate Generator begins counting and on each
rollover, the state of the SCL pin changes
(high-to-low/low-to-high) and data are shifted into the
SSPxSR. After the falling edge of the eighth clock, the
receive enable flag is automatically cleared, the
contents of the SSPxSR are loaded into the SSPxBUF,
the BF flag bit is set, the SSPxIF flag bit is set and the
Baud Rate Generator is suspended from counting,
holding SCL low. The MSSPx is now in Idle state
awaiting the next command. When the buffer is read by
the CPU, the BF flag bit is automatically cleared. The
user can then send an Acknowledge bit at the end of
reception by setting the Acknowledge Sequence
Enable, ACKEN bit of the SSPxCON2 register.
30.6.7.1 BF Status Flag
In receive operation, the BF bit is set when an address
or data byte is loaded into SSPxBUF from SSPxSR. It
is cleared when the SSPxBUF register is read.
30.6.7.2 SSPOV Status Flag
In receive operation, the SSPOV bit is set when eight
bits are received into the SSPxSR and the BF flag bit is
already set from a previous reception.
30.6.7.3 WCOL Status Flag
If the user writes the SSPxBUF when a receive is
already in progress (i.e., SSPxSR is still shifting in a
data byte), the WCOL bit is set and the contents of the
buffer are unchanged (the write does not occur).
30.6.7.4 Typical Receive Sequence:
1. The user generates a Start condition by setting
the SEN bit of the SSPxCON2 register.
2. SSPxIF is set by hardware on completion of the
Start.
3. SSPxIF is cleared by software.
4. User writes SSPxBUF with the slave address to
transmit and the R/W bit set.
5. Address is shifted out the SDA pin until all eight
bits are transmitted. Transmission begins as
soon as SSPxBUF is written to.
6. The MSSPx module shifts in the ACK bit from
the slave device and writes its value into the
ACKSTAT bit of the SSPxCON2 register.
7. The MSSPx module generates an interrupt at
the end of the ninth clock cycle by setting the
SSPxIF bit.
8. User sets the RCEN bit of the SSPxCON2 regis-
ter and the master clocks in a byte from the slave.
9. After the eighth falling edge of SCL, SSPxIF and
BF are set.
10. Master clears SSPxIF and reads the received
byte from SSPxBUF, clears BF.
11. Master sets ACK value sent to slave in ACKDT
bit of the SSPxCON2 register and initiates the
ACK by setting the ACKEN bit.
12. Master’s ACK is clocked out to the slave and
SSPxIF is set.
13. User clears SSPIF.
14. Steps 8-13 are repeated for each received byte
from the slave.
15. Master sends a not ACK or Stop to end
communication.
Note: The MSSPx module must be in an Idle
state before the RCEN bit is set or the
RCEN bit will be disregarded.

30.6.8 ACKNOWLEDGE SEQUENCE
TIMING
An Acknowledge sequence is enabled by setting the
Acknowledge Sequence Enable bit, ACKEN bit of the
SSPxCON2 register. When this bit is set, the SCL pin is
pulled low and the contents of the Acknowledge data bit
are presented on the SDA pin. If the user wishes to
generate an Acknowledge, then the ACKDT bit should
be cleared. If not, the user should set the ACKDT bit
before starting an Acknowledge sequence. The Baud
Rate Generator then counts for one rollover period
(TBRG) and the 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 auto-
matically cleared, the Baud Rate Generator is turned off
and the MSSPx module then goes into Idle mode
(Figure 30-30).
30.6.8.1 WCOL Status Flag
If the user writes the SSPxBUF when an Acknowledge
sequence is in progress, then WCOL bit is set and the
contents of the buffer are unchanged (the write does
not occur).
30.6.9 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 bit of the SSPxCON2 register. 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 of the
SSPxSTAT register is set. A TBRG later, the PEN bit is
cleared and the SSPxIF bit is set (Figure 30-31).
30.6.9.1 WCOL Status Flag
If the user writes the SSPxBUF when a Stop sequence
is in progress, then the WCOL bit is set and the
contents of the buffer are unchanged (the write does
not occur).

30.6.10 SLEEP OPERATION
While in Sleep mode, the I2C slave module can receive
addresses or data and when an address match or
complete byte transfer occurs, wake the processor
from Sleep (if the MSSP interrupt is enabled).
30.6.11 EFFECTS OF A RESET
A Reset disables the MSSPx module and terminates
the current transfer.
30.6.12 MULTI-MASTER MODE
In Multi-Master mode, the interrupt generation on the
detection of the Start and Stop conditions allows the
determination of when the bus is free. The Stop (P) and
Start (S) bits are cleared from a Reset or when the
MSSPx module is disabled. Control of the I2C bus may
be taken when the P bit of the SSPxSTAT register is
set, or the bus is Idle, with both the S and P bits clear.
When the bus is busy, enabling the SSP interrupt will
generate the interrupt when the Stop condition occurs.
In multi-master operation, the SDA line must be
monitored for arbitration to see if the signal level is the
expected output level. This check is performed by
hardware with the result placed in the BCL1IF bit.
The states where arbitration can be lost are:
Address Transfer
Data Transfer
A Start Condition
A Repeated Start Condition
An Acknowledge Condition
30.6.13 MULTI -MASTER COMMUNICATION,
BUS COLLISION AND BUS
ARBITRATION
Multi-Master mode support is achieved by bus arbitra-
tion. When the master outputs address/data bits onto
the 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 are a ‘1’ and the data sampled on the SDA pin are
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 30-32).
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
SSPxBUF can be written to. When the user services
the bus collision Interrupt Service Routine and if the I2C
bus is free, the user can resume communication by
asserting a Start condition.
If a Start, Repeated Start, Stop or Acknowledge
condition was in progress when the bus collision
occurred, the condition is aborted, the SDA and SCL
lines are deasserted and the respective control bits in
the SSPxCON2 register are cleared. When the user
services the bus collision Interrupt Service Routine and
if the I2C bus is free, the user can resume
communication by asserting a Start condition.
The master will continue to monitor the SDA and SCL
pins. If a Stop condition occurs, the SSPxIF bit will be set.
A write to the SSPxBUF will start the transmission of
data at the first data bit, regardless of where the
transmitter left off when the bus collision occurred.
In Multi-Master mode, the interrupt generation on the
detection of Start and Stop conditions allows the deter-
mination of when the bus is free. Control of the I2C bus
can be taken when the P bit is set in the SSPxSTAT
register, or the bus is Idle and the S and P bits are
cleared.

30.6.13.1 Bus Collision During a Start
Condition
During a Start condition, a bus collision occurs if:
a) SDA or SCL are sampled low at the beginning of
the Start condition (Figure 30-33).
b) SCL is sampled low before SDA is asserted low
(Figure 30-34).
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 BCL1IF flag is set and
the MSSPx module is reset to its Idle state
(Figure 30-33).
The Start condition begins with the SDA and SCL pins
deasserted. When the SDA pin is sampled high, the
Baud Rate Generator is loaded and counts down. 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 30-35). If, however, a ‘1’ is sampled on the SDA
pin, the SDA pin is asserted low at the end of the BRG
count. The Baud Rate Generator is then reloaded and
counts down to zero; if the SCL pin is sampled 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 30-33: 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 condi-
tion 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,

30.6.13.2 Bus Collision During a Repeated
Start Condition
During a Repeated Start condition, a bus collision
occurs if:
a) A low level is sampled on SDA when SCL goes
from low level to high level (Case 1).
b) SCL goes low before SDA is asserted low,
indicating that another master is attempting to
transmit a data ‘1’ (Case 2).
When the user releases SDA and the pin is allowed to
float high, the BRG is loaded with SSPxADD and
counts down to zero. 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 30-36).
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 30-37.
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.

30.6.13.3 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 (Case 1).
b) After the SCL pin is deasserted, SCL is sampled
low before SDA goes high (Case 2).
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 SSPxADD and
counts down to zero. 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 30-38). 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 30-39).

30.7 Baud Rate Generator
The MSSPx module has a Baud Rate Generator avail-
able for clock generation in both I2C and SPI Master
modes. The Baud Rate Generator (BRG) reload value
is placed in the SSPxADD register (Register 30-6).
When a write occurs to SSPxBUF, the Baud Rate
Generator will automatically begin counting down.
Once the given operation is complete, the internal clock
will automatically stop counting and the clock pin will
remain in its last state.
An internal signal “Reload” in Figure 30-40 triggers the
value from SSPxADD to be loaded into the BRG
counter. This occurs twice for each oscillation of the
module clock line. The logic dictating when the reload
signal is asserted depends on the mode the MSSPx is
being operated in.
Table 30-4 demonstrates clock rates based on
instruction cycles and the BRG value loaded into
SPPxADD.

31.0 ENHANCED UNIVERSAL
SYNCHRONOUS
ASYNCHRONOUS RECEIVER
TRANSMITTER (EUSART1)
The Enhanced Universal Synchronous Asynchronous
Receiver Transmitter (EUSART1) module is a serial I/O
communications peripheral. It contains all the clock
generators, shift registers and data buffers necessary
to perform an input or output serial data transfer
independent of device program execution. The
EUSART1, also known as a Serial Communications
Interface (SCI), can be configured as a full-duplex
asynchronous system or half-duplex synchronous
system. Full-Duplex mode is useful for
communications with peripheral systems, such as CRT
terminals and personal computers. Half-Duplex
Synchronous mode is intended for communications
with peripheral devices, such as A/D or D/A integrated
circuits, serial EEPROMs or other microcontrollers.
These devices typically do not have internal clocks for
baud rate generation and require the external clock
signal provided by a master synchronous device.
The EUSART1 module includes the following
capabilities:
Full-duplex asynchronous transmit and receive
Two-character input buffer
One-character output buffer
Programmable 8-bit or 9-bit character length
Address detection in 9-bit mode
Input buffer overrun error detection
Received character framing error detection
Half-duplex synchronous master
Half-duplex synchronous slave
Programmable clock polarity in synchronous
modes
Sleep operation
The EUSART1 module implements the following
additional features, making it ideally suited for use in
Local Interconnect Network (LIN) bus systems:
Automatic detection and calibration of the baud
rate
Wake-up on Break reception
13-bit Break character transmit
Block diagrams of the EUSART1 transmitter and
receiver are shown in Figure 31-1 and Figure 31-2.
The EUSART1 transmit output (TX_out) is available to
the TX/CK pin and internally to the following peripherals:

FIGURE 31-2: EUSART1 RECEIVE BLOCK DIAGRAM
The operation of the EUSART1 module is controlled
through three registers:
Transmit Status and Control (TX1STA)
Receive Status and Control (RC1STA)
Baud Rate Control (BAUD1CON)
These registers are detailed in Register 31-1,
Register 31-2 and Register 31-3, respectively.
The RX and CK input pins are selected with the RXPPS
and CKPPS registers, respectively. TX, CK, and DT
output pins are selected with each pin’s RxyPPS register.
Since the RX input is coupled with the DT output in
Synchronous mode, it is the user’s responsibility to select
the same pin for both of these functions when operating
in Synchronous mode. The EUSART1 control logic will
control the data direction drivers automatically.

31.1 EUSART1 Asynchronous Mode
The EUSART1 transmits and receives data using the
standard non-return-to-zero (NRZ) format. NRZ is
implemented with two levels: a VOH Mark state which
represents a ‘1’ data bit, and a VOL Space state which
represents a ‘0’ data bit. NRZ refers to the fact that
consecutively transmitted data bits of the same value
stay at the output level of that bit without returning to a
neutral level between each bit transmission. An NRZ
transmission port idles in the Mark state. Each character
transmission consists of one Start bit followed by eight
or nine data bits and is always terminated by one or
more Stop bits. The Start bit is always a space and the
Stop bits are always marks. The most common data
format is eight bits. Each transmitted bit persists for a
period of 1/(Baud Rate). An on-chip dedicated
8-bit/16-bit Baud Rate Generator is used to derive
standard baud rate frequencies from the system
oscillator. See Table 31-3 for examples of baud rate
configurations.
The EUSART1 transmits and receives the LSb first.
The EUSART1’s transmitter and receiver are function-
ally independent, but share the same data format and
baud rate. Parity is not supported by the hardware, but
can be implemented in software and stored as the ninth
data bit.
31.1.1 EUSART1 ASYNCHRONOUS
TRANSMITTER
The EUSART1 transmitter block diagram is shown in
Figure 31-1. The heart of the transmitter is the serial
Transmit Shift Register (TSR), which is not directly
accessible by software. The TSR obtains its data from
the transmit buffer, which is the TX1REG register.
31.1.1.1 Enabling the Transmitter
The EUSART1 transmitter is enabled for asynchronous
operations by configuring the following three control
bits:
TXEN = 1
SYNC = 0
SPEN = 1
All other EUSART1 control bits are assumed to be in
their default state.
Setting the TXEN bit of the TX1STA register enables the
transmitter circuitry of the EUSART1. Clearing the
SYNC bit of the TX1STA register configures the
EUSART1 for asynchronous operation. Setting the
SPEN bit of the RC1STA register enables the EUSART1
and automatically configures the TX/CK I/O pin as an
output. If the TX/CK pin is shared with an analog
peripheral, the analog I/O function must be disabled by
clearing the corresponding ANSEL bit.
31.1.1.2 Transmitting Data
A transmission is initiated by writing a character to the
TX1REG register. If this is the first character, or the
previous character has been completely flushed from
the TSR, the data in the TX1REG are immediately
transferred to the TSR register. If the TSR still contains
all or part of a previous character, the new character
data are held in the TX1REG until the Stop bit of the
previous character has been transmitted. The pending
character in the TX1REG is then transferred to the TSR
in one TCY immediately following the Stop bit
transmission. The transmission of the Start bit, data bits
and Stop bit sequence commences immediately
following the transfer of the data to the TSR from the
TX1REG.
31.1.1.3 Transmit Data Polarity
The polarity of the transmit data can be controlled with
the SCKP bit of the BAUD1CON register. The default
state of this bit is ‘0’ which selects high true transmit idle
and data bits. Setting the SCKP bit to ‘1’ will invert the
transmit data resulting in low true idle and data bits. The
SCKP bit controls transmit data polarity in
Asynchronous mode only. In Synchronous mode, the
SCKP bit has a different function. See Section 31.4.1.2
“Clock Polarity”.
31.1.1.4 Transmit Interrupt Flag
The TXIF Interrupt Flag bit of the PIR1 register is set
whenever the EUSART1 transmitter is enabled and no
character is being held for transmission in the TX1REG.
In other words, the TXIF bit is only clear when the TSR
is busy with a character and a new character has been
queued for transmission in the TX1REG. The TXIF Flag
bit is not cleared immediately upon writing TX1REG.
TXIF becomes valid in the second instruction cycle
following the write execution. Polling TXIF immediately
following the TX1REG write will return invalid results.
The TXIF bit is read-only, it cannot be set or cleared by
software.
The TXIF interrupt can be enabled by setting the TXIE
Interrupt Enable bit of the PIE1 register. However, the
TXIF Flag bit will be set whenever the TX1REG is
empty, regardless of the state of TXIE Enable bit.
To use interrupts when transmitting data, set the TXIE
bit only when there are more data to send. Clear the
TXIE Interrupt Enable bit upon writing the last character
of the transmission to the TX1REG.
Note: The TXIF Transmitter Interrupt flag is set
when the TXEN Enable bit is set.
PIC16(L)F18326/18346
DS40001839C-page 370 2016-2018 Microchip Technology Inc.
31.1.1.5 TSR Status
The TRMT bit of the TX1STA register indicates the
status of the TSR register. This is a read-only bit. The
TRMT bit is set when the TSR register is empty and is
cleared when a character is transferred to the TSR
register from the TX1REG. The TRMT bit remains clear
until all bits have been shifted out of the TSR register.
No interrupt logic is tied to this bit, so the user has to
poll this bit to determine the TSR status.
31.1.1.6 Transmitting 9-bit Characters
The EUSART1 supports 9-bit character transmissions.
When the TX9 bit of the TX1STA register is set, the
EUSART1 will shift nine bits out for each character
transmitted. The TX9D bit of the TX1STA register is the
ninth, and Most Significant data bit. When transmitting
9-bit data, the TX9D data bit must be written before
writing the eight Least Significant bits into the TX1REG.
All nine bits of data will be transferred to the TSR shift
register immediately after the TX1REG is written.
A special 9-bit Address mode is available for use with
multiple receivers. See Section 31.1.2.7 “Address
Detection” for more information on the Address mode.
31.1.1.7 Asynchronous Transmission Setup
1. Initialize the SP1BRGH, SP1BRGL register pair
and the BRGH and BRG16 bits to achieve the
desired baud rate (see Section 31.3 “EUSART1
Baud Rate Generator (BRG)”).
2. Enable the asynchronous serial port by clearing
the SYNC bit and setting the SPEN bit.
3. If 9-bit transmission is desired, set the TX9
control bit. A set ninth data bit will indicate that
the eight Least Significant data bits are an
address when the receiver is set for address
detection.
4. Set SCKP bit if inverted transmit is desired.
5. Enable the transmission by setting the TXEN
control bit. This will cause the TXIF interrupt bit
to be set.
6. If interrupts are desired, set the TXIE Interrupt
Enable bit of the PIE1 register. An interrupt will
occur immediately provided that the GIE and
PEIE bits of the INTCON register are also set.
7. If 9-bit transmission is selected, the ninth bit
should be loaded into the TX9D data bit.
8. Load 8-bit data into the TX1REG register. This
will start the transmission.

31.1.2 EUSART1 ASYNCHRONOUS
RECEIVER
The Asynchronous mode is typically used in RS-232
systems. The receiver block diagram is shown in
Figure 31-2. The data are received on the RX/DT pin
and drives the data recovery block. The data recovery
block is actually a high-speed shifter operating at 16
times the baud rate, whereas the serial Receive Shift
Register (RSR) operates at the bit rate. When all eight
or nine bits of the character have been shifted in, they
are immediately transferred to a two character First-In
First-Out (FIFO) memory. The FIFO buffering allows
reception of two complete characters and the start of a
third character before software must start servicing the
EUSART1 receiver. The FIFO and RSR registers are
not directly accessible by software. Access to the
received data is via the RC1REG register.
31.1.2.1 Enabling the Receiver
The EUSART1 receiver is enabled for asynchronous
operation by configuring the following three control bits:
CREN = 1
SYNC = 0
SPEN = 1
All other EUSART1 control bits are assumed to be in
their default state.
Setting the CREN bit of the RC1STA register enables
the receiver circuitry of the EUSART1. Clearing the
SYNC bit of the TX1STA register configures the
EUSART1 for asynchronous operation. Setting the
SPEN bit of the RC1STA register enables the
EUSART1. The programmer must set the
corresponding TRIS bit to configure the RX/DT I/O pin
as an input.
31.1.2.2 Receiving Data
The receiver data recovery circuit initiates character
reception on the falling edge of the first bit. The first bit,
also known as the Start bit, is always a zero. The data
recovery circuit counts one-half bit time to the center of
the Start bit and verifies that the bit is still a zero. If it is
not a zero, then the data recovery circuit aborts
character reception, without generating an error, and
resumes looking for the falling edge of the Start bit. If
the Start bit zero verification succeeds, then the data
recovery circuit counts a full bit time to the center of the
next bit. The bit is then sampled by a majority detect
circuit and the resulting ‘0’ or ‘1’ is shifted into the RSR.
This repeats until all data bits have been sampled and
shifted into the RSR. One final bit time is measured and
the level sampled. This is the Stop bit, which is always
a ‘1’. If the data recovery circuit samples a ‘0’ in the
Stop bit position then a framing error is set for this
character, otherwise the framing error is cleared for this
character. See Section 31.1.2.4 “Receive Framing
Error” for more information on framing errors.
Immediately after all data bits and the Stop bit have
been received, the character in the RSR is transferred
to the EUSART1 receive FIFO and the RCIF Interrupt
Flag bit of the PIR1 register is set. The top character in
the FIFO is transferred out of the FIFO by reading the
RC1REG register.

errors.

DS40001839C-page 372 2016-2018 Microchip Technology Inc.
31.1.2.3 Receive Interrupts
The RCIF Interrupt Flag bit of the PIR1 register is set
whenever the EUSART1 receiver is enabled and there
is an unread character in the receive FIFO. The RCIF
Interrupt Flag bit is read-only, it cannot be set or cleared
by software.
RCIF interrupts are enabled by setting all of the
following bits:
RCIE, Interrupt Enable bit of the PIE1 register
PEIE, Peripheral Interrupt Enable bit of the
INTCON register
GIE, Global Interrupt Enable bit of the INTCON
register
The RCIF Interrupt Flag bit will be set when there is an
unread character in the FIFO, regardless of the state of
interrupt enable bits.
31.1.2.4 Receive Framing Error
Each character in the receive FIFO buffer has a
corresponding framing error Status bit. A framing error
indicates that a Stop bit was not seen at the expected
time. The framing error status is accessed via the
FERR bit of the RC1STA register. The FERR bit
represents the status of the top unread character in the
receive FIFO. Therefore, the FERR bit must be read
before reading the RC1REG.
The FERR bit is read-only and only applies to the top
unread character in the receive FIFO. A framing error
(FERR = 1) does not preclude reception of additional
characters. It is not necessary to clear the FERR bit.
Reading the next character from the FIFO buffer will
advance the FIFO to the next character and the next
corresponding framing error.
The FERR bit can be forced clear by clearing the SPEN
bit of the RC1STA register which resets the EUSART1.
Clearing the CREN bit of the RC1STA register does not
affect the FERR bit. A framing error by itself does not
generate an interrupt.
31.1.2.5 Receive Overrun Error
The receive FIFO buffer can hold two characters. An
overrun error will be generated if a third character, in its
entirety, is received before the FIFO is accessed. When
this happens the OERR bit of the RC1STA register is
set. The characters already in the FIFO buffer can be
read but no additional characters will be received until
the error is cleared. The error must be cleared by either
clearing the CREN bit of the RC1STA register or by
resetting the EUSART1 by clearing the SPEN bit of the
RC1STA register.
31.1.2.6 Receiving 9-bit Characters
The EUSART1 supports 9-bit character reception.
When the RX9 bit of the RC1STA register is set the
EUSART1 will shift nine bits into the RSR for each
character received. The RX9D bit of the RC1STA reg-
ister is the ninth and Most Significant data bit of the top
unread character in the receive FIFO. When reading
9-bit data from the receive FIFO buffer, the RX9D data
bit must be read before reading the eight Least Signifi-
cant bits from the RC1REG.
31.1.2.7 Address Detection
A special Address Detection mode is available for use
when multiple receivers share the same transmission
line, such as in RS-485 systems. Address detection is
enabled by setting the ADDEN bit of the RC1STA
register.
Address detection requires 9-bit character reception.
When address detection is enabled, only characters
with the ninth data bit set will be transferred to the
receive FIFO buffer, thereby setting the RCIF interrupt
bit. All other characters will be ignored.
Upon receiving an address character, user software
determines if the address matches its own. Upon
address match, user software must disable address
detection by clearing the ADDEN bit before the next
Stop bit occurs. When user software detects the end of
the message, determined by the message protocol
used, software places the receiver back into the
Address Detection mode by setting the ADDEN bit.
Note: If all receive characters in the receive
FIFO have framing errors, repeated reads
of the RC1REG will not clear the FERR bit.

31.1.2.8 Asynchronous Reception Setup
1. Initialize the SP1BRGH, SP1BRGL register pair
and the BRGH and BRG16 bits to achieve the
desired baud rate (see Section 31.3
“EUSART1 Baud Rate Generator (BRG)”).
2. Clear the ANSEL bit for the RX pin (if applicable).
3. Enable the serial port by setting the SPEN bit.
The SYNC bit must be clear for asynchronous
operation.
4. If interrupts are desired, set the RCIE bit of the
PIE1 register and the GIE and PEIE bits of the
INTCON register.
5. If 9-bit reception is desired, set the RX9 bit.
6. Enable reception by setting the CREN bit.
7. The RCIF Interrupt Flag bit will be set when a
character is transferred from the RSR to the
receive buffer. An interrupt will be generated if
the RCIE Interrupt Enable bit was also set.
8. Read the RC1STA register to get the error flags
and, if 9-bit data reception is enabled, the ninth
data bit.
9. Get the received eight Least Significant data bits
from the receive buffer by reading the RC1REG
register.
10. If an overrun occurred, clear the OERR flag by
clearing the CREN Receiver Enable bit.
31.1.2.9 9-bit Address Detection Mode Setup
This mode would typically be used in RS-485 systems.
To set up an Asynchronous Reception with Address
Detect Enable:
1. Initialize the SP1BRGH, SP1BRGL register pair
and the BRGH and BRG16 bits to achieve the
desired baud rate (see Section 31.3
“EUSART1 Baud Rate Generator (BRG)”).
2. Clear the ANSEL bit for the RX pin (if applicable).
3. Enable the serial port by setting the SPEN bit.
The SYNC bit must be clear for asynchronous
operation.
4. If interrupts are desired, set the RCIE bit of the
PIE1 register and the GIE and PEIE bits of the
INTCON register.
5. Enable 9-bit reception by setting the RX9 bit.
6. Enable address detection by setting the ADDEN
bit.
7. Enable reception by setting the CREN bit.
8. The RCIF Interrupt Flag bit will be set when a
character with the ninth bit set is transferred
from the RSR to the receive buffer. An interrupt
will be generated if the RCIE Interrupt Enable bit
was also set.
9. Read the RC1STA register to get the error flags.
The ninth data bit will always be set.
10. Get the received eight Least Significant data bits
from the receive buffer by reading the RC1REG
register. Software determines if this is the
device’s address.
11. If an overrun occurred, clear the OERR flag by
clearing the CREN receiver enable bit.
12. If the device has been addressed, clear the
ADDEN bit to allow all received data into the
receive buffer and generate interrupts.

31.2 Clock Accuracy with
Asynchronous Operation
The factory calibrates the internal oscillator block
output (INTOSC). However, the INTOSC frequency
may drift as VDD or temperature changes, and this
directly affects the asynchronous baud rate. Two
methods may be used to adjust the baud rate clock, but
both require a reference clock source of some kind.
The first (preferred) method uses the OSCTUNE
register to adjust the INTOSC output. Adjusting the
value in the OSCTUNE register allows for fine resolution
changes to the system clock source. See
Section 7.2.2.3 “Internal Oscillator Frequency
Adjustment” for more information.
The other method adjusts the value in the Baud Rate
Generator. This can be done automatically with the
Auto-Baud Detect feature (see Section 31.3.1
“Auto-Baud Detect”). There may not be fine enough
resolution when adjusting the Baud Rate Generator to
compensate for a gradual change in the peripheral
clock frequency.
31.3 EUSART1 Baud Rate Generator
(BRG)
The Baud Rate Generator (BRG) is an 8-bit or 16-bit
timer that is dedicated to the support of both the
asynchronous and synchronous EUSART1 operation.
By default, the BRG operates in 8-bit mode. Setting the
BRG16 bit of the BAUD1CON register selects 16-bit
mode.
The SP1BRGH, SP1BRGL register pair determines the
period of the free running baud rate timer. In
Asynchronous mode the multiplier of the baud rate
period is determined by both the BRGH bit of the
TX1STA register and the BRG16 bit of the BAUD1CON
register. In Synchronous mode, the BRGH bit is ignored.
Table 31-1 contains the formulas for determining the
baud rate. Example 31-1 provides a sample calculation
for determining the baud rate and baud rate error.
Typical baud rates and error values for various
asynchronous modes have been computed for your
convenience and are shown in Table 31-3. It may be
advantageous to use the high baud rate (BRGH = 1),
or the 16-bit BRG (BRG16 = 1) to reduce the baud rate
error. The 16-bit BRG mode is used to achieve slow
baud rates for fast oscillator frequencies.
Writing a new value to the SP1BRGH, SP1BRGL reg-
ister pair causes the BRG timer to be reset (or cleared).
This ensures that the BRG does not wait for a timer
overflow before outputting the new baud rate.
If the system clock is changed during an active receive
operation, a receive error or data loss may result. To
avoid this problem, check the status of the RCIDL bit to
make sure that the receive operation is idle before
changing the system clock.

31.3.1 AUTO-BAUD DETECT
The EUSART1 module supports automatic detection
and calibration of the baud rate.
In the Auto-Baud Detect (ABD) mode, the clock to the
BRG is reversed. Rather than the BRG clocking the
incoming RX signal, the RX signal is timing the BRG.
The Baud Rate Generator is used to time the period of
a received 55h (ASCII “U”) which is the Sync character
for the LIN bus. The unique feature of this character is
that it has five rising edges including the Stop bit edge.
Setting the ABDEN bit of the BAUD1CON register
starts the auto-baud calibration sequence. While the
ABD sequence takes place, the EUSART1 state
machine is held in Idle. On the first rising edge of the
receive line, after the Start bit, the SPBRG begins
counting up using the BRG counter clock as shown in
Figure 31-6. The fifth rising edge will occur on the RX
pin at the end of the eighth bit period. At that time, an
accumulated value totaling the proper BRG period is
left in the SP1BRGH, SP1BRGL register pair, the
ABDEN bit is automatically cleared and the RCIF
interrupt flag is set. The value in the RC1REG needs to
be read to clear the RCIF interrupt. RC1REG content
should be discarded. When calibrating for modes that
do not use the SP1BRGH register the user can verify
that the SP1BRGL register did not overflow by
checking for 00h in the SP1BRGH register.
The BRG auto-baud clock is determined by the BRG16
and BRGH bits as shown in Ta ble 3 1-1. During ABD,
both the SP1BRGH and SP1BRGL registers are used
as a 16-bit counter, independent of the BRG16 bit set-
ting. While calibrating the baud rate period, the
SP1BRGH and SP1BRGL registers are clocked at
1/8th the BRG base clock rate. The resulting byte mea-
surement is the average bit time when clocked at full
speed.
FIGURE 31-6: AUTOMATIC BAUD RATE CALIBRATION
Note 1: If the WUE bit is set with the ABDEN bit,
auto-baud detection will occur on the byte
following the Break character (see
Section 31.3.3 “Auto-Wake-up on
Break”).
2: It is up to the user to determine that the
incoming character baud rate is within the
range of the selected BRG clock source.
Some combinations of oscillator frequency
and EUSART1 baud rates are not possible.
3: During the auto-baud process, the
auto-baud counter starts counting at one.
Upon completion of the auto-baud
sequence, to achieve maximum accuracy,
subtract 1 from the SP1BRGH:SP1BRGL
register pair.

31.3.2 AUTO-BAUD OVERFLOW
During the course of automatic-baud detection, the
ABDOVF bit of the BAUDxCON register will be set if
the baud rate counter overflows before the fifth rising
edge is detected on the RX pin. The ABDOVF bit
indicates that the counter has exceeded the maximum
count that can fit in the 16 bits of the
SPxBRGH:SPxBRGL register pair. The Overflow
condition will set the RCIF flag. The counter continues
to count until the fifth rising edge is detected on the RX
pin. The RCIDL bit will remain false (‘0’) until the fifth
rising edge at which time the RCIDL bit will be set. If the
RCREG is read after the overflow occurs but before the
fifth rising edge, then the fifth rising edge will set the
RCIF again.
Terminating the auto-baud process early to clear an
Overflow condition will prevent proper detection of the
sync character fifth rising edge. If any falling edges of
the sync character have not yet occurred when the
ABDEN bit is cleared, then those will be falsely
detected as Start bits. The following steps are
recommended to clear the Overflow condition:
1. Read RCREG to clear RCIF
2. If RCIDL is zero, then wait for RCIF and repeat
step 1
3. Clear the ABDOVF bit
31.3.3 AUTO-WAKE-UP ON BREAK
During Sleep mode, all clocks to the EUSART1 are
suspended. Because of this, the Baud Rate Generator
is inactive and a proper character reception cannot be
performed. The Auto-Wake-up feature allows the
controller to wake up due to activity on the RX/DT line.
This feature is available only in Asynchronous mode.
The Auto-Wake-up feature is enabled by setting the
WUE bit of the BAUD1CON register. Once set, the
normal receive sequence on RX/DT is disabled, and the
EUSART1 remains in an Idle state, monitoring for a
wake-up event independent of the CPU mode. A
wake-up event consists of a high-to-low transition on the
RX/DT line. (This coincides with the start of a Sync Break
or a wake-up signal character for the LIN protocol.)
The EUSART1 module generates an RCIF interrupt
coincident with the wake-up event. The interrupt is
generated synchronously to the Q clocks in normal CPU
operating modes (Figure 31-7), and asynchronously if
the device is in Sleep mode (Figure 31-8). The Interrupt
condition is cleared by reading the RC1REG register.
The WUE bit is automatically cleared by the low-to-high
transition on the RX line at the end of the Break. This
signals to the user that the Break event is over. At this
point, the EUSART1 module is in Idle mode waiting to
receive the next character.
31.3.3.1 Special Considerations
Break Character
To avoid character errors or character fragments during
a wake-up event, the wake-up character must be all
zeros.
When the wake-up is enabled the function works
independent of the low time on the data stream. If the
WUE bit is set and a valid non-zero character is
received, the low time from the Start bit to the first rising
edge will be interpreted as the wake-up event. The
remaining bits in the character will be received as a
fragmented character and subsequent characters can
result in framing or overrun errors.
Therefore, the initial character in the transmission must
be all ‘0’s. This must be ten or more bit times, 13-bit
times recommended for LIN bus, or any number of bit
times for standard RS-232 devices.
Oscillator Start-up Time
Oscillator start-up time must be considered, especially
in applications using oscillators with longer start-up
intervals (i.e., LP, XT or HS/PLL mode). The Sync
Break (or wake-up signal) character must be of
sufficient length, and be followed by a sufficient
interval, to allow enough time for the selected oscillator
to start and provide proper initialization of the
EUSART1.
WUE Bit
The wake-up event causes a receive interrupt by
setting the RCIF bit. The WUE bit is cleared in
hardware by a rising edge on RX/DT. The Interrupt
condition is then cleared in software by reading the
RC1REG register and discarding its contents.
To ensure that no actual data are lost, check the RCIDL
bit to verify that a receive operation is not in process
before setting the WUE bit. If a receive operation is not
occurring, the WUE bit may then be set just prior to
entering the Sleep mode.

FIGURE 31-8: AUTO-WAKE-UP BIT (WUE) TIMINGS DURING SLEEP
31.3.4 BREAK CHARACTER SEQUENCE
The EUSART1 module has the capability of sending
the special Break character sequences that are
required by the LIN bus standard. A Break character
consists of a Start bit, followed by 12 ‘0’ bits and a Stop
bit.
To send a Break character, set the SENDB and TXEN
bits of the TX1STA register. The Break character trans-
mission is then initiated by a write to the TX1REG. The
value of data written to TX1REG will be ignored and all
0’s will be transmitted.
The SENDB bit is automatically reset by hardware after
the corresponding Stop bit is sent. This allows the user
to preload the transmit FIFO with the next transmit byte
following the Break character (typically, the Sync
character in the LIN specification).
The TRMT bit of the TX1STA register indicates when the
transmit operation is active or idle, just as it does during
normal transmission. See Figure 31-9 for the timing of
the Break character sequence.
31.3.4.1 Break and Sync Transmit Sequence
The following sequence will start a message frame
header made up of a Break, followed by an auto-baud
Sync byte. This sequence is typical of a LIN bus
master.
1. Configure the EUSART1 for the desired mode.
2. Set the TXEN and SENDB bits to enable the
Break sequence.
3. Load the TX1REG with a dummy character to
initiate transmission (the value is ignored).
4. Write ‘55h’ to TX1REG to load the Sync charac-
ter into the transmit FIFO buffer.
5. After the Break has been sent, the SENDB bit is
reset by hardware and the Sync character is
then transmitted.
When the TX1REG becomes empty, as indicated by
the TXIF, the next data byte can be written to TX1REG.

31.3.5 RECEIVING A BREAK CHARACTER
The Enhanced EUSART1 module can receive a Break
character in two ways.
The first method to detect a Break character uses the
FERR bit of the RC1STA register and the received data
as indicated by RC1REG. The Baud Rate Generator is
assumed to have been initialized to the expected baud
rate.
A Break character has been received when:
RCIF bit is set
FERR bit is set
RC1REG = 00h
The second method uses the Auto-Wake-up feature
described in Section 31.3.3 “Auto-Wake-up on
Break”. By enabling this feature, the EUSART1 will
sample the next two transitions on RX/DT, cause an
RCIF interrupt, and receive the next data byte followed
by another interrupt.
Note that following a Break character, the user will
typically want to enable the Auto-Baud Detect feature.
For both methods, the user can set the ABDEN bit of
the BAUD1CON register before placing the EUSART1
in Sleep mode.

31.4 EUSART1 Synchronous Mode
Synchronous serial communications are typically used
in systems with a single master and one or more
slaves. The master device contains the necessary
circuitry for baud rate generation and supplies the clock
for all devices in the system. Slave devices can take
advantage of the master clock by eliminating the
internal clock generation circuitry.
There are two signal lines in Synchronous mode: a
bidirectional data line and a clock line. Slaves use the
external clock supplied by the master to shift the serial
data into and out of their respective receive and trans-
mit shift registers. Since the data line is bidirectional,
synchronous operation is half-duplex only. Half-duplex
refers to the fact that master and slave devices can
receive and transmit data but not both simultaneously.
The EUSART1 can operate as either a master or slave
device.
Start and Stop bits are not used in synchronous
transmissions.
31.4.1 SYNCHRONOUS MASTER MODE
The following bits are used to configure the EUSART1
for synchronous master operation:
SYNC = 1
CSRC = 1
SREN = 0 (for transmit); SREN = 1 (for receive)
CREN = 0 (for transmit); CREN = 1 (for receive)
SPEN = 1
Setting the SYNC bit of the TX1STA register configures
the device for synchronous operation. Setting the CSRC
bit of the TX1STA register configures the device as a
master. Clearing the SREN and CREN bits of the
RC1STA register ensures that the device is in the
Transmit mode, otherwise the device will be configured
to receive. Setting the SPEN bit of the RC1STA register
enables the EUSART1.
31.4.1.1 Master Clock
Synchronous data transfers use a separate clock line,
which is synchronous with the data. A device config-
ured as a master transmits the clock on the TX/CK line.
The TX/CK pin output driver is automatically enabled
when the EUSART1 is configured for synchronous
transmit or receive operation. Serial data bits change
on the leading edge to ensure they are valid at the
trailing edge of each clock. One clock cycle is gener-
ated for each data bit. Only as many clock cycles are
generated as there are data bits.
31.4.1.2 Clock Polarity
A clock polarity option is provided for Microwire
compatibility. Clock polarity is selected with the SCKP
bit of the BAUD1CON register. Setting the SCKP bit
sets the clock Idle state as high. When the SCKP bit is
set, the data change on the falling edge of each clock.
Clearing the SCKP bit sets the Idle state as low. When
the SCKP bit is cleared, the data change on the rising
edge of each clock.
31.4.1.3 Synchronous Master Transmission
Data are transferred out of the device on the RX/DT
pin. The RX/DT and TX/CK pin output drivers are auto-
matically enabled when the EUSART1 is configured for
synchronous master transmit operation.
A transmission is initiated by writing a character to the
TX1REG register. If the TSR still contains all or part of
a previous character, the new character data is held in
the TX1REG until the last bit of the previous character
has been transmitted. If this is the first character, or the
previous character has been completely flushed from
the TSR, the data in the TX1REG are immediately
transferred to the TSR. The transmission of the charac-
ter commences immediately following the transfer of
the data to the TSR from the TX1REG.
Each data bit changes on the leading edge of the
master clock and remains valid until the subsequent
leading clock edge.
31.4.1.4 Synchronous Master Transmission
Setup
1. Initialize the SP1BRGH, SP1BRGL register pair
and the BRGH and BRG16 bits to achieve the
desired baud rate (see Section 31.3
“EUSART1 Baud Rate Generator (BRG)”).
2. Enable the synchronous master serial port by
setting bits SYNC, SPEN and CSRC.
3. Disable Receive mode by clearing bits SREN
and CREN.
4. Enable Transmit mode by setting the TXEN bit.
5. If 9-bit transmission is desired, set the TX9 bit.
6. If interrupts are desired, set the TXIE bit of the
PIE1 register and the GIE and PEIE bits of the
INTCON register.
7. If 9-bit transmission is selected, the ninth bit may
be loaded in the TX9D bit.
8. Start transmission by loading data to the
TX1REG register.
Note: The TSR register is not mapped in data
memory, so it is not available to the user.

FIGURE 31-11: SYNCHRONOUS TRANSMISSION (THROUGH TXEN)
31.4.1.5 Synchronous Master Reception
Data are received at the RX/DT pin. The RX/DT pin
output driver is automatically disabled when the
EUSART1 is configured for synchronous master
receive operation.
In Synchronous mode, reception is enabled by setting
either the Single Receive Enable bit (SREN of the
RC1STA register) or the Continuous Receive Enable
bit (CREN of the RC1STA register).
When SREN is set and CREN is clear, only as many
clock cycles are generated as there are data bits in a
single character. The SREN bit is automatically cleared
at the completion of one character. When CREN is set,
clocks are continuously generated until CREN is
cleared. If CREN is cleared in the middle of a character,
the CK clock stops immediately and the partial charac-
ter is discarded. If SREN and CREN are both set, then
SREN is cleared at the completion of the first character
and CREN takes precedence.
To initiate reception, set either SREN or CREN. Data
are sampled at the RX/DT pin on the trailing edge of the
TX/CK clock pin and are shifted into the Receive Shift
Register (RSR). When a complete character is
received into the RSR, the RCIF bit is set and the char-
acter is automatically transferred to the two character
receive FIFO. The Least Significant eight bits of the top
character in the receive FIFO are available in RC1REG.
The RCIF bit remains set as long as there are unread
characters in the receive FIFO.

PIC16(L)F18326/18346
31.4.1.6 Slave Clock
Synchronous data transfers use a separate clock line,
which is synchronous with the data. A device configured
as a slave receives the clock on the TX/CK line. The
TX/CK pin output driver is automatically disabled when
the device is configured for synchronous slave transmit
or receive operation. Serial data bits change on the
leading edge to ensure they are valid at the trailing edge
of each clock. One data bit is transferred for each clock
cycle. Only as many clock cycles should be received as
there are data bits.
31.4.1.7 Receive Overrun Error
The receive FIFO buffer can hold two characters. An
overrun error will be generated if a third character, in its
entirety, is received before RC1REG is read to access
the FIFO. When this happens the OERR bit of the
RC1STA register is set. Previous data in the FIFO will
not be overwritten. The two characters in the FIFO
buffer can be read, however, no additional characters
will be received until the error is cleared. The OERR bit
can only be cleared by clearing the Overrun condition.
If the overrun error occurred when the SREN bit is set
and CREN is clear then the error is cleared by reading
RC1REG. If the overrun occurred when the CREN bit is
set then the Error condition is cleared by either clearing
the CREN bit of the RC1STA register or by clearing the
SPEN bit which resets the EUSART1.
31.4.1.8 Receiving 9-bit Characters
The EUSART1 supports 9-bit character reception.
When the RX9 bit of the RC1STA register is set the
EUSART1 will shift nine bits into the RSR for each
character received. The RX9D bit of the RC1STA
register is the ninth, and Most Significant, data bit of the
top unread character in the receive FIFO. When read-
ing 9-bit data from the receive FIFO buffer, the RX9D
data bit must be read before reading the eight Least
Significant bits from the RC1REG.
31.4.1.9 Synchronous Master Reception
Setup
1. Initialize the SP1BRGH, SP1BRGL register pair
for the appropriate baud rate. Set or clear the
BRGH and BRG16 bits, as required, to achieve
the desired baud rate.
2. Clear the ANSEL bit for the RX pin (if applicable).
3. Enable the synchronous master serial port by
setting bits SYNC, SPEN and CSRC.
4. Ensure bits CREN and SREN are clear.
5. If interrupts are desired, set the RCIE bit of the
PIE1 register and the GIE and PEIE bits of the
INTCON register.
6. If 9-bit reception is desired, set bit RX9.
7. Start reception by setting the SREN bit or for
continuous reception, set the CREN bit.
8. Interrupt Flag bit RCIF will be set when recep-
tion of a character is complete. An interrupt will
be generated if the Enable bit RCIE was set.
9. Read the RC1STA register to get the ninth bit (if
enabled) and determine if any error occurred
during reception.
10. Read the 8-bit received data by reading the
RC1REG register.
11. If an overrun error occurs, clear the error by
either clearing the CREN bit of the RC1STA
register or by clearing the SPEN bit which resets
the EUSART1.

31.4.2 SYNCHRONOUS SLAVE MODE
The following bits are used to configure the EUSART1
for synchronous slave operation:
SYNC = 1
CSRC = 0
SREN = 0 (for transmit); SREN = 1 (for receive)
CREN = 0 (for transmit); CREN = 1 (for receive)
SPEN = 1
Setting the SYNC bit of the TX1STA register configures
the device for synchronous operation. Clearing the
CSRC bit of the TX1STA register configures the device
as a slave. Clearing the SREN and CREN bits of the
RC1STA register ensures that the device is in the
Transmit mode, otherwise the device will be configured to
receive. Setting the SPEN bit of the RC1STA register
enables the EUSART1.
31.4.2.1 EUSART1 Synchronous Slave
Transmit
The operation of the Synchronous Master and Slave
modes are identical (see Section 31.4.1.3
“Synchronous Master Transmission”), except in the
case of the Sleep mode.
If two words are written to the TX1REG and then the
SLEEP instruction is executed, the following will occur:
1. The first character will immediately transfer to
the TSR register and transmit.
2. The second word will remain in the TX1REG
register.
3. The TXIF bit will not be set.
4. After the first character has been shifted out of
TSR, the TX1REG register will transfer the
second character to the TSR and the TXIF bit will
now be set.
5. If the PEIE and TXIE bits are set, the interrupt
will wake the device from Sleep and execute the
next instruction. If the GIE bit is also set, the
program will call the Interrupt Service Routine.
31.4.2.2 Synchronous Slave Transmission
Setup
1. Set the SYNC and SPEN bits and clear the
CSRC bit.
2. Clear the ANSEL bit for the CK pin (if applicable).
3. Clear the CREN and SREN bits.
4. If interrupts are desired, set the TXIE bit of the
PIE1 register and the GIE and PEIE bits of the
INTCON register.
5. If 9-bit transmission is desired, set the TX9 bit.
6. Enable transmission by setting the TXEN bit.
7. If 9-bit transmission is selected, insert the Most
Significant bit into the TX9D bit.
8. Start transmission by writing the Least
Significant eight bits to the TX1REG register.
31.4.2.3 EUSART1 Synchronous Slave
Reception
The operation of the Synchronous Master and Slave
modes is identical (Section 31.4.1.5 “Synchronous
Master Reception”), with the following exceptions:
•Sleep
CREN bit is always set, therefore the receiver is
never idle
SREN bit, which is a “don’t care” in Slave mode
A character may be received while in Sleep mode by
setting the CREN bit prior to entering Sleep. Once the
word is received, the RSR register will transfer the data
to the RC1REG register. If the RCIE Enable bit is set,
the interrupt generated will wake the device from Sleep
and execute the next instruction. If the GIE bit is also
set, the program will branch to the interrupt vector.
31.4.2.4 Synchronous Slave Reception Setup
1. Set the SYNC and SPEN bits and clear the
CSRC bit.
2. Clear the ANSEL bit for both the CK and DT pins
(if applicable).
3. If interrupts are desired, set the RCIE bit of the
PIE1 register and the GIE and PEIE bits of the
INTCON register.
4. If 9-bit reception is desired, set the RX9 bit.
5. Set the CREN bit to enable reception.
6. The RCIF bit will be set when reception is
complete. An interrupt will be generated if the
RCIE bit was set.
7. If 9-bit mode is enabled, retrieve the Most
Significant bit from the RX9D bit of the RC1STA
register.
8. Retrieve the eight Least Significant bits from the
receive FIFO by reading the RC1REG register.
9. If an overrun error occurs, clear the error by
either clearing the CREN bit of the RC1STA
register or by clearing the SPEN bit which resets
the EUSART1.

31.5 EUSART1 Operation During Sleep
The EUSART1 will remain active during Sleep only in
the Synchronous Slave mode. All other modes require
the system clock and therefore cannot generate the
necessary signals to run the Transmit or Receive Shift
registers during Sleep.
Synchronous Slave mode uses an externally generated
clock to run the Transmit and Receive Shift registers.
31.5.1 SYNCHRONOUS RECEIVE DURING
SLEEP
To receive during Sleep, all the following conditions
must be met before entering Sleep mode:
RC1STA and TX1STA Control registers must be
configured for Synchronous Slave Reception (see
Section 31.4.2.4 “Synchronous Slave Recep-
tion Setup”).
If interrupts are desired, set the RCIE bit of the
PIE1 register and the GIE and PEIE bits of the
INTCON register.
The RCIF interrupt flag must be cleared by read-
ing RC1REG to unload any pending characters in
the receive buffer.
Upon entering Sleep mode, the device will be ready to
accept data and clocks on the RX/DT and TX/CK pins,
respectively. When the data word has been completely
clocked in by the external device, the RCIF Interrupt
Flag bit of the PIR1 register will be set. Thereby, waking
the processor from Sleep.
Upon waking from Sleep, the instruction following the
SLEEP instruction will be executed. If the Global
Interrupt Enable (GIE) bit of the INTCON register is
also set, then the Interrupt Service Routine at address
004h will be called.
31.5.2 SYNCHRONOUS TRANSMIT
DURING SLEEP
To transmit during Sleep, all the following conditions
must be met before entering Sleep mode:
The RC1STA and TX1STA Control registers must
be configured for synchronous slave transmission
(see Section 31.4.2.2 “Synchronous Slave
Transmission Setup).
The TXIF Interrupt flag must be cleared by writing
the output data to the TX1REG, thereby filling the
TSR and transmit buffer.
If interrupts are desired, set the TXIE bit of the
PIE1 register and the PEIE bit of the INTCON
register.
Interrupt Enable bits TXIE of the PIE1 register and
PEIE of the INTCON register must set.
Upon entering Sleep mode, the device will be ready to
accept clocks on TX/CK pin and transmit data on the
RX/DT pin. When the data word in the TSR has been
completely clocked out by the external device, the
pending byte in the TX1REG will transfer to the TSR
and the TXIF flag will be set. Thereby, waking the pro-
cessor from Sleep. At this point, the TX1REG is avail-
able to accept another character for transmission,
which will clear the TXIF flag.
Upon waking from Sleep, the instruction following the
SLEEP instruction will be executed. If the Global
Interrupt Enable (GIE) bit is also set then the Interrupt
Service Routine at address 0004h will be called.

32.0 REFERENCE CLOCK OUTPUT
MODULE
The Reference Clock Output module provides the
ability to send a clock signal to the clock reference
output pin (CLKR). The Reference Clock Output can
also be used as a signal for other peripherals, such as
the Data Signal Modulator (DSM).
The Reference Clock Output module has the following
features:
System clock is the module source clock
Programmable clock divider
Selectable duty cycle
32.1 Clock Source
The Reference Clock Output module uses the system
clock (FOSC) as the clock source. Any device clock
switching will be reflected in the clock output.
32.1.1 CLOCK SYNCHRONIZATION
Once the reference clock enable (CLKREN) is set, the
module is ensured to be glitch-free at start-up.
When the Reference Clock Output is disabled, the
output signal will be disabled immediately.
Clock dividers and clock duty cycles can be changed
while the module is enabled, but glitches may occur on
the output. To avoid possible glitches, clock dividers
and clock duty cycles should be changed only when the
CLKREN is clear.
32.2 Programmable Clock Divider
The module takes the system clock input and divides it
based on the value of the CLKRDIV<2:0> bits of the
CLKRCON register (Register 32-1).
The following configurations can be made based on the
CLKRDIV<2:0> bits:
Base FOSC value
•FOSC divided by 2
•FOSC divided by 4
•F
OSC divided by 8
•FOSC divided by 16
•FOSC divided by 32
•F
OSC divided by 64
•FOSC divided by 128
The clock divider values can be changed while the
module is enabled; however, in order to prevent
glitches on the output, the CLKRDIV<2:0> bits should
only be changed when the module is disabled
(CLKREN = 0).
32.3 Selectable Duty Cycle
The CLKRDC<1:0> bits of the CLKRCON register can
be used to modify the duty cycle of the output clock. A
duty cycle of 25%, 50%, or 75% can be selected for all
clock rates, with the exception of the undivided base
FOSC value.
The duty cycle can be changed while the module is
enabled; however, in order to prevent glitches on the
output, the CLKRDC<1:0> bits should only be changed
when the module is disabled (CLKREN = 0).
32.4 Operation in Sleep Mode
The Reference Clock Output module clock is based on
the system clock. When the device goes to Sleep, the
module outputs will remain in their current state. This
will have a direct effect on peripherals using the
Reference Clock Output as an input signal.
Note: The CLKRDC1 bit is reset to ‘1’. This
makes the default duty cycle 50%.

33.0 IN-CIRCUIT SERIAL
PROGRAMMING™ (ICSP™)
ICSP™ programming allows customers to manufacture
circuit boards with unprogrammed devices. Programming
can be done after the assembly process, allowing the
device to be programmed with the most recent firmware
or a custom firmware. Five pins are needed for ICSP
programming:
•ICSPCLK
•ICSPDAT
•MCLR
/VPP
•VDD
•VSS
In Program/Verify mode the program memory, data
EEPROM, User IDs and the Configuration Words are
programmed through serial communications. The
ICSPDAT pin is a bidirectional I/O used for transferring
the serial data and the ICSPCLK pin is the clock input.
For more information on ICSP, refer to the
PIC16(L)F183XX Memory Programming
Specification(DS40001738).
33.1 High-Voltage Programming Entry
Mode
The device is placed into High-Voltage Programming
Entry mode by holding the ICSPCLK and ICSPDAT
pins low then raising the voltage on MCLR/VPP to VIHH.
33.2 Low-Voltage Programming Entry
Mode
The Low-Voltage Programming Entry mode allows the
PIC® Flash MCUs to be programmed using VDD only,
without high voltage. When the LVP bit of Configuration
Words is set to ‘1’, the low-voltage ICSP programming
entry is enabled. To disable the Low-Voltage ICSP
mode, the LVP bit must be programmed to ‘0’. The LVP
bit can only be reprogrammed to ‘0’ by using the
High-Voltage Programming mode.
Entry into the Low-Voltage Programming Entry mode
requires the following steps:
1. MCLR is brought to VIL.
2. A 32-bit key sequence is presented on
ICSPDAT, while clocking ICSPCLK.
Once the key sequence is complete, MCLR must be
held at VIL for as long as Program/Verify mode is to be
maintained.
If low-voltage programming is enabled (LVP = 1), the
MCLR Reset function is automatically enabled and
cannot be disabled. See Section 6.4 “MCLR for more
information.
33.3 Common Programming Interfaces
Connection to a target device is typically done through
an ICSP™ header. A commonly found connector on
development tools is the RJ-11 in the 6P6C (6-pin,
6-connector) configuration. See Figure 33-1.
FIGURE 33-1: ICD RJ-11 STYLE
CONNECTOR INTERFACE
Another connector often found in use with the PICkit™
programmers is a standard 6-pin header with 0.1 inch
spacing. Refer to Figure 33-2.
For additional interface recommendations, refer to your
specific device programmer manual prior to PCB
design.
It is recommended that isolation devices be used to
separate the programming pins from other circuitry.
The type of isolation is highly dependent on the specific
application and may include devices such as resistors,
diodes, or even jumpers. See Figure 33-3 for more
information.

34.0 INSTRUCTION SET SUMMARY
Each instruction is a 14-bit word containing the
operation code (opcode) and all required operands.
The opcodes are broken into three broad categories.
Byte Oriented
Bit Oriented
Literal and Control
The literal and control category contains the most
varied instruction word format.
Table 34-3 lists the instructions recognized by the
MPASM assembler.
All instructions are executed within a single instruction
cycle, with the following exceptions, which may take
two or three cycles:
Subroutine entry takes two cycles (CALL, CALLW)
Returns from interrupts or subroutines take two
cycles (RETURN, RETLW, RETFIE)
Program branching takes two cycles (GOTO, BRA,
BRW, BTFSS, BTFSC, DECFSZ, INCSFZ)
One additional instruction cycle will be used when
any instruction references an indirect file register
and the file select register is pointing to program
memory.
One instruction cycle consists of 4 oscillator cycles; for
an oscillator frequency of 4 MHz, this gives a nominal
instruction execution rate of 1 MHz.
All instruction examples use the format ‘0xhh’ to
represent a hexadecimal number, where ‘h’ signifies a
hexadecimal digit.
34.1 Read-Modify-Write Operations
Any WRITE instruction that specifies a file register as
part of the instruction performs a Read-Modify-Write
(R-M-W) operation. The register is read, the data are
modified, and the result is stored according to either the
working (W) register, or the originating file register,
depending on the state of the destination designator ‘d’
(see Table 34-1 for more information). A read operation
is performed on a register even if the instruction writes
to that register.

f Register file address (0x00 to 0x7F)
W Working register (accumulator)
b Bit address within an 8-bit file register
k Literal field, constant data or label

The assembler will generate code with x = 0.
It is the recommended form of use for
compatibility with all Microchip software tools.

Note 1: Maximum current rating requires even load distribution across I/O pins. Maximum current rating may be
limited by the device package power dissipation characterizations, see Table 35-3 to calculate device
specifications. See technical brief TBxxxx for more details on maximum current requirements.
2: Power dissipation is calculated as follows:
PDIS = VDD x {IDD IOH} + {(VDD – VOH) x IOH} + (VOL x IOL).
† 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 above maximum rating conditions for
extended periods may affect device reliability.

Data in “Typ.” column are at 3.0V, 25°C unless otherwise stated. These parameters are for design guidance
only and are not tested.
Note 1: Instruction cycle period (TCY) equals four times the input oscillator time base period. All specified values
are based on characterization data for that particular oscillator type under standard operating conditions
with the device executing code. Exceeding these specified limits may result in an unstable oscillator
operation and/or higher than expected current consumption. All devices are tested to operate at “min”
values with an external clock applied to OSC1 pin. When an external clock input is used, the “max” cycle
time limit is “DC” (no clock) for all devices.
2: The system clock frequency (FOSC) is selected by the “main clock switch controls” as described in
Section 7.3 “Clock Switching”.
3: The system clock frequency (FOSC) must meet the voltage requirements defined in the Section 35.2
“Standard Operating Conditions”.
4: LP, XT and HS oscillator modes require an appropriate crystal or resonator to be connected to the device.
For clocking the device with an external square wave, one of the EC mode selections must be used.

2: A Fast mode (400 kHz) I2C bus device can be used in a Standard mode (100 kHz) I2C bus system, but the
requirement TSU:DAT 250 ns must then be met. This will automatically be the case if the device does not
stretch the low period of the SCL signal. If such a device does stretch the low period of the SCL signal, it
must output the next 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.

37.2 MPLAB XC Compilers
The MPLAB XC Compilers are complete ANSI C
compilers for all of Microchip’s 8, 16, and 32-bit MCU
and DSC devices. These compilers provide powerful
integration capabilities, superior code optimization and
ease of use. MPLAB XC Compilers run on Windows,
Linux or MAC OS X.
For easy source level debugging, the compilers provide
debug information that is optimized to the MPLAB X
IDE.
The free MPLAB XC Compiler editions support all
devices and commands, with no time or memory
restrictions, and offer sufficient code optimization for
most applications.
MPLAB XC Compilers include an assembler, linker and
utilities. The assembler generates relocatable object
files that can then be archived or linked with other relo-
catable object files and archives to create an execut-
able file. MPLAB XC Compiler uses the assembler to
produce its object file. Notable features of the assem-
bler include:
Support for the entire device instruction set
Support for fixed-point and floating-point data
Command-line interface
Rich directive set
Flexible macro language
MPLAB X IDE compatibility
37.3 MPASM Assembler
The MPASM Assembler is a full-featured, universal
macro assembler for PIC10/12/16/18 MCUs.
The MPASM Assembler generates relocatable object
files for the MPLINK Object Linker, Intel® standard HEX
files, MAP files to detail memory usage and symbol
reference, absolute LST files that contain source lines
and generated machine code, and COFF files for
debugging.
The MPASM Assembler features include:
Integration into MPLAB X IDE projects
User-defined macros to streamline
assembly code
Conditional assembly for multipurpose
source files
Directives that allow complete control over the
assembly process
37.4 MPLINK Object Linker/
MPLIB Object Librarian
The MPLINK Object Linker combines relocatable
objects created by the MPASM Assembler. It can link
relocatable objects from precompiled libraries, using
directives from a linker script.
The MPLIB Object Librarian manages the creation and
modification of library files of precompiled code. When
a routine from a library is called from a source file, only
the modules that contain that routine will be linked in
with the application. This allows large libraries to be
used efficiently in many different applications.
The object linker/library features include:
Efficient linking of single libraries instead of many
smaller files
Enhanced code maintainability by grouping
related modules together
Flexible creation of libraries with easy module
listing, replacement, deletion and extraction
37.5 MPLAB Assembler, Linker and
Librarian for Various Device
Families
MPLAB Assembler produces relocatable machine
code from symbolic assembly language for PIC24,
PIC32 and dsPIC DSC devices. MPLAB XC Compiler
uses the assembler to produce its object file. The
assembler generates relocatable object files that can
then be archived or linked with other relocatable object
files and archives to create an executable file. Notable
features of the assembler include:
Support for the entire device instruction set
Support for fixed-point and floating-point data
Command-line interface
Rich directive set
Flexible macro language
MPLAB X IDE compatibility

37.6 MPLAB X SIM Software Simulator
The MPLAB X SIM Software Simulator allows code
development in a PC-hosted environment by simulat-
ing the PIC MCUs and dsPIC DSCs on an instruction
level. On any given instruction, the data areas can be
examined or modified and stimuli can be applied from
a comprehensive stimulus controller. Registers can be
logged to files for further run-time analysis. The trace
buffer and logic analyzer display extend the power of
the simulator to record and track program execution,
actions on I/O, most peripherals and internal registers.
The MPLAB X SIM Software Simulator fully supports
symbolic debugging using the MPLAB XC Compilers,
and the MPASM and MPLAB Assemblers. The soft-
ware simulator offers the flexibility to develop and
debug code outside of the hardware laboratory envi-
ronment, making it an excellent, economical software
development tool.
37.7 MPLAB REAL ICE In-Circuit
Emulator System
The MPLAB REAL ICE In-Circuit Emulator System is
Microchip’s next generation high-speed emulator for
Microchip Flash DSC and MCU devices. It debugs and
programs all 8, 16 and 32-bit MCU, and DSC devices
with the easy-to-use, powerful graphical user interface of
the MPLAB X IDE.
The emulator is connected to the design engineer’s
PC using a high-speed USB 2.0 interface and is
connected to the target with either a connector
compatible with in-circuit debugger systems (RJ-11)
or with the new high-speed, noise tolerant, Low-
Voltage Differential Signal (LVDS) interconnection
(CAT5).
The emulator is field upgradeable through future firm-
ware downloads in MPLAB X IDE. MPLAB REAL ICE
offers significant advantages over competitive emulators
including full-speed emulation, run-time variable
watches, trace analysis, complex breakpoints, logic
probes, a ruggedized probe interface and long (up to
three meters) interconnection cables.
37.8 MPLAB ICD 3 In-Circuit Debugger
System
The MPLAB ICD 3 In-Circuit Debugger System is
Microchip’s most cost-effective, high-speed hardware
debugger/programmer for Microchip Flash DSC and
MCU devices. It debugs and programs PIC Flash
microcontrollers and dsPIC DSCs with the powerful,
yet easy-to-use graphical user interface of the MPLAB
IDE.
The MPLAB ICD 3 In-Circuit Debugger probe is
connected to the design engineer’s PC using a high-
speed USB 2.0 interface and is connected to the target
with a connector compatible with the MPLAB ICD 2 or
MPLAB REAL ICE systems (RJ-11). MPLAB ICD 3
supports all MPLAB ICD 2 headers.
37.9 PICkit 3 In-Circuit Debugger/
Programmer
The MPLAB PICkit 3 allows debugging and program-
ming of PIC and dsPIC Flash microcontrollers at a most
affordable price point using the powerful graphical user
interface of the MPLAB IDE. The MPLAB PICkit 3 is
connected to the design engineer’s PC using a full-
speed USB interface and can be connected to the tar-
get via a Microchip debug (RJ-11) connector (compati-
ble with MPLAB ICD 3 and MPLAB REAL ICE). The
connector uses two device I/O pins and the Reset line
to implement in-circuit debugging and In-Circuit Serial
Programming™ (ICSP™).
37.10 MPLAB PM3 Device Programmer
The MPLAB PM3 Device Programmer is a universal,
CE compliant device programmer with programmable
voltage verification at VDDMIN and VDDMAX for
maximum reliability. It features a large LCD display
(128 x 64) for menus and error messages, and a mod-
ular, detachable socket assembly to support various
types. The ICSP cable assembly is included as a stan-
dard item. In Stand-Alone mode, the MPLAB PM3
Device Programmer can read, verify and program PIC
devices without a PC connection. It can also set code
protection in this mode. The MPLAB PM3 connects to
the host PC via an RS-232 or USB cable. The MPLAB
PM3 has high-speed communications and optimized
algorithms for quick programming of large memory
devices, and incorporates an MMC card for file storage
and data applications.

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