PIC18F1230/1330
The PIC18F1230/1330 Rev. B0 parts you have
received conform functionally to the Device Data Sheet
(DS39758C), except for the anomalies described
below. Any Data Sheet Clarification issues related to
the PIC18F1230/1330 will be reported in a separate
Data Sheet errata. Please check the Microchip web site
for any existing issues.
The following silicon errata apply only to
PIC18F1230/1330 devices with these Device/
Revision IDs:
All of the issues listed here will be addressed in future
revisions of the PIC18F1230/1330 silicon.
1. Module: Comparator
The CMPxIF flag, which indicates when each
comparator has a switched state, cannot be
cleared immediately after reading CMCON. The
mismatch condition that sets CMPxIF persists for
1TCY after reading/writing CMCON.
Work around
Insert a NOP instruction between reading/writing
CMCON and clearing the CMPxIF flag.
Date Codes that pertain to this issue:
All engineering and production devices.
2. Module: Enhanced Universal
Synchronous Asynchronous
Receiver Transmitter (EUSART)
In rare situations, one or more extra bytes have
been observed in a packet transmitted by the
module operating in Asynchronous mode. The
actual data is not lost or corrupted – only extra
bytes are added. The extra bytes may be 0x00 or
0xFF.
This situation occurs when the contents of the
transmit buffer (TXREG) are transferred to the
TSR at the end of the Stop bit period at the same
time that firmware writes to TXREG.
Note that TXIF is set at the beginning of the Stop
bit period.
Work around
None.
Date Codes that pertain to this issue:
All engineering and production devices.
3. Module: Enhanced Universal
Synchronous Asynchronous
Receiver Transmitter (EUSART)
In rare situations when interrupts are enabled,
unexpected results may occur if:
The EUSART is disabled (the SPEN bit,
RCSTA <7> = 0)
The EUSART is re-enabled (RCSTA <7> = 1)
A two-cycle instruction is executed
Work around
Add a 2 TCY delay after re-enabling the EUSART.
1. Disable receive interrupts (RCIE bit,
PIE1<5> = 0).
2. D isab le the EUSART (RCSTA <7> = 0).
3. Re-enable the EUSART (RCSTA <7> = 1).
4. R e-e na ble receive interrupt s (PIE1< 5> = 1).
(This is the first TCY delay.)
5. Execute a NOP instruction.
(Thi s is the second TCY del ay.)
Date Codes that pertain to this issue:
All engineering and production devices.

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 it s 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 c onstantly evolving. We a t Microc hip are co m mitted to continuously improving the code prot ect ion featur es of our
products. Attempts to break Microchip’ s code protection feature may be a violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. If such act s
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-16949:2002 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, microperiph erals, nonvolatile memory and
analog products. In addition, Microchip’s quality system for the design
and manufacture of development systems is ISO 9001:2000 certified.
