PIC16F7X7
1.0 DEVICE OVERVIEW
This document contains device specific information
about the following devices:
PIC16F737/767 devices are available only in 28-pin
packages, while PIC16F747/777 devices are available
in 40-pin and 44-pin packages. All devices in the
PIC16F7 X7 fami ly sha re com mon archi tecture with the
following differences:
The PIC16 F73 7 and PIC16F7 67 have one-half of
the total on-chip memory of the PIC16F747 and
PIC16F777.
The 28-pin devices have 3 I/O ports, whil e the
40/44-pin devices have 5.
The 28-pin devices have 16 interrupts, while the
40/44-pin devices have 17.
The 28-pin devices have 11 A/D input channels,
while the 40/44-pin devices have 14.
The Parallel Slave Port is implemented only on
the 40/44-pin devices.
Low-Powe r m od es : RC _ RU N al lows the core a nd
peripherals to be clocked from the INTRC, while
SEC_RUN allows the core and peripherals to be
clocked from the low-power Timer1. Refer to
Section 4.7 “Power-Managed Modes” for
further details.
Interna l R C o sc il la to r wi th eight sele ctable
freq ue nc ie s , i nc lu di ng 3 1.2 5 kHz, 125 kHz ,
250kHz, 500kHz, 1MHz, 2 MHz, 4 MHz and
8 MHz. The INTRC can be configured as a primary
or secondary clock source. Refer to Section 4.5
“Inter nal Osci lla tor Bloc k” for further det ai ls.
The Timer1 module current consumption has
been grea tly reduc ed from 20 A (pre vious PIC1 6
devi ces) to 1.8 A typical (32 kHz at 2V), which is
ideal for real-time clock applications. Refer to
Section 7.0 “Timer1 Module” for further details.
Extended Watchd og Timer (WDT) that ca n hav e a
programmable period from 1 ms to 268s. The WDT
has its own 16-bit prescaler . Refer to Sectio n 1 5. 17
“Watchdog Timer (WDT)” f or fur the r d etails.
Two- Speed Start-up: When the oscillator is
configu r ed for L P, XT or HS, this feature wi ll clock
the device from the INTRC while the oscillator is
warming up. This, in turn, will enable almost
immediate code execution. Refer to
Section 15.17.3 “Two-Speed Clock Start-up
Mode” for further details.
Fail- Safe Clock Monitor: This feature will allow the
device to continue operation if the primary or
secondary clock source fails by switching over to
the INTRC.
The available features are summarized in Table 1-1.
Block diagrams of the PIC16F737/767 and
PIC16F7 47/777 devices are provided i n Figure 1-1 and
Figure 1-2, respectively. The pinouts for these device
families are listed in Table 1-2 and Table 1-3.
Additional information may be found in the “PIC® Mid-
Range MCU Family Reference Manual” (DS33023)
which may be o bta ined from your lo cal Mic rochip Sa les
Repres entative or d ow nl oa ded from the Mic r oc hip we b
site. The Reference Manual should be considered a
complementary document to this data sheet and is
highly recommended reading for a better understand-
ing of the device architecture and operation of the
peripheral modules.

PIC16F7X7
2.0 MEMORY ORGANIZATION
There are two memory blocks in each of these PIC®
MCUs. The program memory and data memory have
separate buses so that concurrent access can occur
and is detailed in this section. The program memory
can be read internally by user code (see Section 3.0
“Reading Program Memory”).
Addit ional informat ion on devi ce memory may be found
in th e “PIC® Mid-Range MCU Family Reference Man-
ual” (DS33023).
2.1 Program Memory Organization
The PIC16F7X7 dev ices have a 13-bit prog ram counter
capable of addressing an 8K word x 14-bit program
memory space. The PIC16F767/777 devices have
8K words of Flash program memory and the
PIC16F737/747 devices have 4K words. The program
memory maps for PIC16F7X7 devices are shown in
Figure 2-1. Accessing a location above the physically
implemented address will cause a wraparound.
The Res et vector is at 000 0h and the interru pt vector is
at 0004h.
2.2 Data Memory Organization
The data memory is partitioned into multiple banks
whic h contain t he Genera l Purpos e Registe rs and t he
Special Function Registers. Bits RP1 (Status<6>) and
RP0 (Status<5>) are the bank select bits:
Each bank extends up to 7Fh (128 bytes). The lower
locations of each bank are reserved for the Special
Function Registers. Above the Special Function Regis-
ters are General Purpose Registers, implemented as
static RAM. All implemented banks contain Special
Function Registers. Some frequently used Special
Function Registers from one bank may be mirrored in
another bank for code reduction and quicker access.
2.2.1 GENERAL PURPOSE
REGISTER FILE
The register file (shown in Figure 2-2 and Figure 2-3)
can be accessed either directly, or indirectly, through
the File Select Register (FSR).

2.2.2 SPECIAL FUNCTION REGISTERS
The Special Function Registers are registers used by
the CPU and peripheral modules for controlling the
desired operation of the device. These registers are
implemented as static RAM. A list of thes e registers is
given in Table 2-1.
The Special Function Registers can be classified into
two sets: core (CPU) and peripheral. Those registers
associated with the core functions are described in
detail in this section. Those related to the operation of
the peripheral features are described in detail in the
peripheral feature section.

2.2.2.1 Status Register
The Sta tus regis ter cont ains th e arithme tic st atus of th e
ALU, the Reset s tatus and the ba nk sel ec t bi t s fo r da t a
memory.
The Status register can be the destination for any
instruction, as with 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
disabl ed. These bit s are set or clea red 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 exam pl e, CLRF STATUS, will c lea r the up per three
bits and set th e Z bit. Thi s leaves the Statu s register a s
000u u1uu (where u = unchanged).
It is recommended, therefore, that only BCF, BSF,
SWAPF and MOVWF instructions are used to alter the
S t atus regis ter becaus e these inst ructions do not affec t
the Z, C or DC bits from the Status register. For othe r
instructions not affecting any Status bits, see
Section 16.0 “Instruction Set Summary”.
REGISTER 2-1: STATUS: ARITHMETIC STATUS REGISTER (ADDRESS 03h, 83h, 103h, 183h)
Note 1: The C and DC bits operate as a borrow
and digit borrow bit, respectively, in
subtraction. See the SUBLW and SUBWF
instructions for examples.

0 = No carry-out from the Most Significant bit of the result occurred
Note: 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 or low-order bit of the source register.

2.3 PCL and PCLATH
The Program Counter (PC) is 13 bits wide. The low
byte comes from the PCL register which is a readable
and writable register. The upper bits (PC<12:8>) are
not readable but are indirectly writable through the
PCLATH regi ster. On any Reset, the upper bits of the
PC will b e clea red. Fig ure 2-4 show s the two sit uation s
for the loading of the PC. The upper example in the
figure shows how the PC is loaded on a write to PCL
(PCLATH<4:0> PCH). The lower example in the
figure shows how the PC is loaded during a CALL or
GOTO instructi on (PCLATH<4:3> PCH).
FIGURE 2-4: LOADING OF PC IN
DIFFERENT SITUATIONS
2.3.1 COM PU TED GO TO
A comput ed GOTO is a ccom pli shed by adding an offset
to the program counter (ADDWF PCL). When doing a
table read using a computed GOTO method, care
should be ex ercise d if th e t able loca tion c rosse s a PCL
memory boundary (each 256-byte bloc k). Refer to the
Application Note, AN556 “Implementing a Table Read”
(DS00556).
2.3.2 STACK
The PIC16F7X7 family has an 8-level deep x 13-bit
wide hardware stack. The stack space is not part of
either program or data space and the stack pointer is
not readable or writable. The PC is PUSHed onto the
stack when a CALL instruction is 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 st ack operates as a circular buf fer . This means th at
af ter the st ack ha s be en PUSHed ei ght time s, th e nin th
push ove rwr ites the va lu e that was s tored fro m the firs t
push. The tenth push overw ri tes the se cond push (and
so on).
2.4 Program Memory Paging
PIC16F7X7 devices are capable of addressing a con-
tinuous 8K word block of program memory. The CALL
and GOTO instructions provide only 1 1 bit s of address to
allow bra nchi ng w ith in a ny 2K prog ram m em ory page .
When doing a CALL or GOTO instruction, the upper
2 bits of the address are provided by PCLATH<4:3>.
When doi ng a CALL or GOTO inst ruct ion, the user mus t
ensure that the page select bits are programmed so
that the de sired pr ogram memory page i s addressed . If
a return from a CALL instruction (or interrupt) is
executed, the entire 13-bit PC is POPed off the stac k.
Therefore, manipulation of the PCLATH<4:3> bits is
not required for the RETURN instructions (which POPs
the address from the stack).
Example 2-1 shows the calling of a subroutine in
page 1 o f the program memory. This example assumes
that PCLATH is saved and restored by the Interrupt
Service Routi ne (if interrupts are used).

instructions or the vectoring to an
interr upt add res s.
Note: The contents of the PCLATH are
unchanged after a RETURN or RETFIE
instruction is executed. The user must set

or GOTOs.

2.5 Indirect Addressing, INDF and
FSR Registers
The INDF register is no t a physica l register. Add ressing
the INDF register will cause indirect addressing.
Indirect addressing is possible by using the INDF
register. Any instruction using the INDF register
actually accesses the register pointed to by the File
Select Register, FSR. Reading the INDF register itself
indirectly (FSR = 0) will read 00h. Writing to the INDF
register indirectly results in a no operation (although
Status bit s m ay be a f fe cte d). An effective 9-bit address
is obt ained by concatena ting the 8-bit FSR regist er and
the IRP bi t (Status<7>) as shown in Fi gure 2-5.
A simple program to clear RAM locations 20h-2Fh
using indirect addressing is shown in Example 2-2.

3.0 READING PROGRAM MEMORY
The Flash program memory is readable during normal
operation over the entire VDD range. It is indirectly
addressed through Special Function Registers (SFR).
Up to 14-bit numbers can be stored in memory for use
as calib ration param eters, serial nu mbers, packe d 7-bit
ASCII, etc. Executing a program memory location
containing data that forms an invalid instruction results
in a NOP.
There are five SFRs used to read the program and
memory. These registers are:
•PMCON1
•PMDATA
•PMDATH
•PMADR
PMADRH
The program memory allows word reads. Program
memory access allows for checksum calculation and
reading ca libration tables.
When interfacing to the program memory block, the
PMDATH:PMDATA registers form a two-byte word
which holds the 14-bit data for reads. The
PMADRH:PMADR registers form a two-byte word
which holds the 13-bit address of the Flash location
being accessed. These devices can have up to
8K words of program Flash, with an address range
from 0h to 3FFFh. The unused upper bits in both the
PMDATH and PMADRH registers are not implemented
and read as ‘0’s.
3.1 PMADR
The addres s registers can addr ess up to a maximum of
8K words of program Flash.
When selecting a program address value, the MSB of
the address is written to the PMADRH register and the
LSB is written to the PMADR register. The upper Most
Significant bits of PMADRH must always be clear.
3.2 PMCON1 Register
PMCON1 is the control register for memory accesses.
The control bit, RD, initiates read operations. This bit
cannot be cl eare d, onl y set, in softw a re. It is cl eare d in
hardware at the completion of the read operation.

3.3 Reading the Flash Program
Memory
A program me mory location may be read by wri ting two
bytes of t he add ress t o the PMADR and PMADRH re g-
isters and then setting control bit, RD (PMCON1<0>).
Once the read control bit is set, the microcontroller will
use the next two instruction cycles to read the data. The
data is available in the PMDATA and PMDATH
registers after the second NOP i nst ruc tio n; t he ref ore, it
can be read as two bytes in the following instructions.
The PMDATA and PMDATH registers will hold this
value until the next read operation.
3.4 Operation During Code-Protect
Flash program memory has its own code-protect
mechanism. External read and write operations by
programmers are disabled if this mechanism is
enabled.
The microcontroller can read and execute instructions
out of the internal Flash program memory, regardless
of the state of the code-protect configuration bits.

See the notes following this table for additional

Note: When using resonators with frequencies
above 3.5 MHz, the use of HS mode rather
than XT mode is recommend ed. HS mode
may be used at any VDD for which the
controller is rated. If HS is selected, it is
possible that the gain of the oscillator will
overdrive the resonator. Therefore, a
series resistor should be placed between
the OSC2 pin and the resonator. As a
good starting point, the recommended
value of RS is 330

4.4 RC Oscillator
For timing insensitive applic ations, the “RC” and “RCIO”
device options offer additional cost savings. The RC
oscillator frequency is a function of the supply voltage,
the resistor (REXT) and capacitor (CEXT) values and the
operating temperature. In addition to this, the oscillator
frequency will vary from unit to unit due to normal
manufacturing variation. Furthermore, the difference in
lead frame cap acitance between p ackage types will also
affect the oscillation frequency, especially for low CEXT
values. The user also needs to take into account varia-
tion due to tolerance of external R and C components
used. Figure 4-4 shows how the R/C combination is
connected.
In the RC Oscillator mode, the oscillator frequency
divided by 4 is available on the OSC2 pin. This signal may
be used for test purposes or to synchronize other logic.
FIGURE 4-4: RC OSCILLATOR MODE
The RCIO Oscillator mode (Figure 4-5) functions like
the RC mode, except that the OSC2 pin becomes an
additional general purpose I/O pin. The I/O pin
becomes bit 6 of PORTA (RA6).
FIGURE 4-5: RCIO OSCILLATOR MODE
4.5 Internal Oscillator Block
The PIC16F7X7 devices include an internal oscillator
block which generates two different clock signals;
either can be used as the system’s clock source. This
can eliminate the need for external oscillator circuits on
the OSC1 and/or OSC2 pins.
The main output (INTOSC) is an 8 MHz clock source
which can be used to directly drive the system clock. It
also driv es the INT OSC postscal er which can prov ide a
range of s ix cl ock fre quenc ies, fro m 125 kHz to 4 MHz .
The other clock source is the internal RC oscillator
(INTRC) which provides a 31.25 kHz (32 s nominal
period) output. The INTRC oscillator is enabled by
selecting the INTRC as the system clock source or
when any of the following are enabled:
Power-up Timer
Watchdog Timer
Two-Speed Start-up
Fail- Safe C loc k Mo nito r
These features are discussed in greater detail in
Section 15.0 “Special Features of the CPU”.
The clock source frequency (INTOSC direct, INTRC
direct or INTO SC post scaler) is select ed by con figuring
the IRCF bits of the OSCCON register (page 38).

4.5.1 INTRC MODES
Using the internal oscillator as the clock source can
elimin ate the ne ed for up t o two extern al oscil lator pins ,
after which it can be used for digital I/O. Two distinct
configurations are available:
In INTIO1 mode, the OSC2 pin outputs FOSC/4,
while OSC1 fu nc tio ns as RA 7 fo r dig it a l input and
output.
In INTIO2 mode, OSC1 functions as RA7 and
OSC2 functions as RA6, both for digital input and
output.
4.5.2 OSCTUNE REGISTER
The internal oscillator’s output has been calibrated at the
factory but can be adjusted in the application. This is
done by writing to the OSCTUNE register (Register 4-1).
The tuning sensitivity is constant throughout the tuning
range. The OSCTUNE register has a tuning range of
±12.5%.
When the OSCTUNE register is modified, the INTOSC
and INTRC frequencies will begin shifting to the new
frequency. The INTRC clock will reach the new
frequency within 8 clock cycles (approximately
8*32s = 256 s); the INTOSC clock will stabilize
within 1 ms. Code execution continues during this shift.
There is no indication that the shift has occurred. Oper-
ation of features that depend on the 31.25 kHz INTRC
clock source frequency, such as the WDT, Fail-Safe
Clock Monitor and peripherals, will also be affected by
the change in frequency.

4.6 Clock Sources and Oscillator
Switching
The PIC16F7X7 devices include a feature that allows
the system clock source to be switched from the main
oscillator to an alternate low-frequency clock source.
PIC16F7X7 devices off er three alternate clock sources.
When enabled, these give additional options for
switching to the various power-managed operating
modes.
Essentially, there are three clock sources for these
devices:
Primary oscillators
Secondary os cilla tors
Internal oscillator block (INTRC)
The primary oscillators include the External Crystal
and Resonator modes, the External RC modes, the
External Clock mode and the internal oscillator block.
The par ticula r mode is defin ed on POR by the content s
of Configuration Word 1. The details of these modes
are covered earlier in this chapter.
The secondary oscillators are those external sources
not connected to the OSC1 or OSC2 pins. These
sources may continue to operate even after the
controller is placed in a power-managed mode.
PIC16F7X7 devices offer the Timer1 oscillator as a
secondary oscillator. This oscillator continues to run
when a SLEEP instruction is executed and is often the
time base for functions, such as a real-time clock.
Most often, a 32.768 kHz watch crystal is connected
betwee n the RC0 /T1OSO/T 1CKI and RC1 /T1OSI/CC P2
pins . Lik e the LP mod e osci llato r cir cuit , load ing c apaci-
tors are also connected from each pin to ground. The
Timer1 oscillator is discussed in greater detail in
Section 7.6 “Tim er1 O sc ill ato r”.
In addi tion to be ing a prim ary clock s ource, the internal
oscillator block is available as a power-managed
mode clock source. The 31.25 kHz INTRC source is
also used as the clock source for several special
features, such as the WDT, Fail-Safe Clock Monitor,
Powe r-up Timer and Two-Speed Start-up.
The clock sources for the PIC16F7X7 devices are shown
in Figure 4-6. See Section 7.0 “Timer1 Module” for
further details of the Timer1 oscillator. See Section 15.1
“Config urat ion Bits” for Configuration register details.
4.6.1 OSCCON REGIST ER
The OSCCON register (Register 4-2) controls several
aspects of the system clock’s operation, both in full
power ope ratio n and in pow e r-ma nag ed mo des .
The system clock select bits, SCS1:SCS0, select the
clock source that is used when the device is operating
in power-managed modes. When the bits are cleared
(SCS<1:0> = 00), the system clock source comes from
the main oscillator that is selected by the
FOSC2:FOSC0 configuration bits in Configuration
Register 1. When the bits are set in any other manner,
the system clock source is provided by the Timer1
oscillator (SCS1:SCS0 = 01) or from the internal
oscillator block (SCS1:SCS0 = 10). After a Reset,
SCS<1:0> are always set to00’.
The internal oscillator select bits, IRCF2:IRCF0, select
the freque ncy o utput of the interna l oscill ator block th at
is use d to driv e th e syst em cl ock. T he choi ces ar e the
INTRC source (31.25 kHz), the INTOSC source
(8 MHz) or one of the six frequencies derived from the
INTOSC postsca ler (12 5 kHz to 4 MHz). Chan gin g t he
configu ration of these bit s has an i mmediate c hange on
the multiplexor’s frequency output.
The OSTS and IOFS bits indicate the status of the
primary oscillator and INTOSC source; these bits are
set when their respective oscillators are stable. In
particular, OSTS indicates that the Oscillator Start-up
Timer has timed out.
4.6.2 CLOCK SWITCHING
Clock switching will occur for the following reasons:
The FCMEN (CONFIG2<0>) bit is set, the device
is running from the primary oscillator and the
primary oscillator fails. The clock source will be
the internal RC oscillator.
The FCMEN bit is set, the device is running from
the Timer1 oscillator (T1OSC) and T1OSC fails.
The clock source will be the internal RC oscillator.
Following a wake-up due to a Reset or a POR,
when the device is configured for Two-Speed
Start-up mode, switching will occur between the
INTRC and the system clock defined by the
FOSC<2:0> bits.
A wake-up from Sleep occurs due to interrupt or
WDT wake-up and Two-Speed Start-up is
enabled. If the primary clock is XT, HS or LP, the
clock will switch between the INTRC and the
prim ary system clock after 102 4 cloc ks and
8 clocks of the primary oscillator. This is
conditional upon the SCS bits being set equal
to ‘00’.
SCS bits are modified from their original value.
IRCF bits are modified from their original value.
Note: Because the SCS bits are cleared on any
Reset, no clock switching will occur on a
Reset unless the Two-Speed Start-up is
enabled and the p rimary clock is XT, HS or
LP. The device will wait for the primary
clock to become stable before execution
begins (Two-Speed Start-u p disa ble d).
PIC16F7X7
DS30498D-page 38 2003-2013 Microchip Technology Inc.
4.6.3 CLOCK TRANSITION AND WDT
When clock switching is performed, the Watchdog
Timer is disabled because the Watchdog Ripple
Counter is used as the Oscillator S tart -up Timer (OST).
Once the clock transition is complete (i.e., new oscilla-
tor selection switch has occurred), the Watchdog
Counter is re-enabled with the Counter Reset. This
allows the user to synchronize the Watchdog Timer to
the start of execution at the new clock frequency.

FIGURE 4-6: PIC16F7X7 CLOCK DIAGRAM
4.6.4 MODIFYING THE IR CF BITS
The IRCF bits can be modified at any time regardless of
which clock source is currently being used as the
system clock. The internal oscillator allows users to
change the frequency during run time. This is achieved
by modifying the IRCF bits in the OSCCON register.
The sequen ce of events tha t occur after the IRCF bits
are modified is dependent upon the initial value of the
IRCF bits before they are modified. If the INTRC
(31.25 kHz, IRCF<2:0> = 000) is running and the IRCF
bits are modified to any other va lue than ‘000’, a 4 ms
(approx. ) clock swit ch delay is turned o n. Code e xecu-
tion continues at a higher than expected frequency
while the new frequency stabilizes. Time sensitive code
should wait for the IOFS bit in the OSCCON register to
become set before continuing. This bit can be
monitored to ensure that t he frequency is stable before
using the system clock in time critical applications.
If the I RCF b its a re modif ied whi le the internal oscillator
is running at any other frequency than INTRC
(31.25 kHz, IRCF<2:0> 000), there is no need for a
4 ms (approx.) clock switch delay. The new INTOSC
frequency will be stable immediately after the eight
falling edges. The IOFS bit will remain set after clock
switching occurs.

4.6.5 CLOCK TRANSITION SEQUENCE
The following are three different sequences for
switching the internal RC oscillator frequency:
Clock before switch: 31.25 kHz
(IRCF<2:0> = 000)
1. IRCF bits are modified to an INTOSC/INTOSC
postscaler frequency.
2. The clock switching circuitry waits for a falling
edge of the current clock, at which point CLKO
is held low.
3. The clock switching circuitry then waits for eight
falling edges of requested clock, after which it
switches CLK O to this ne w cl ock so ur ce.
4. The IOFS bit is cl ear to indicate t hat the clock is
unstable and a 4 ms (approx.) delay is started.
Time dependent code should wait for IOFS to
become set.
5. Switchover is complete.
Clock before switch: One of INTOSC/INTOSC
postscaler (IRCF<2:0> 000)
1. IRCF bits are modified to INTRC
(IRCF<2:0> = 000).
2. The clock switching circuitry waits for a falling
edge of the current clock, at which point CLKO
is held low.
3. The clock switching circuitry then waits for eight
falling edges of requested clock, after which it
switches CLK O to this ne w cl ock so ur ce.
4. Oscillator switchove r is complete .
Clock before switch: One of INTOSC/INTOSC
postscaler (IRCF<2:0> 000)
1. IRCF bits are modified to a different INTOSC/
INTOSC postscaler frequency.
2. The clock switching circuitry waits for a falling
edge of the current clock, at which point CLKO
is held low.
3. The clock switching circuitry then waits for
eight falling edges of requested clock, after
which it switches CLKO to this new clock
source.
4. The IOFS bit is set.
5. Oscillator switchover is complete.

4.7 Power-Managed Modes
4.7.1 RC_RUN MODE
When SCS bits are configured to run from the INTRC,
a clock tra nsition is generated if the system c lock is not
already using the INTRC. The event will clear the
OSTS bit and switch the system clock from the primary
system clock (if SCS<1:0> = 00) determined by the
value contained in the configuration bits, or from the
T1OSC (if SCS<1:0> = 01) to the INTRC clock option
and shut-down the primary system clock to conserve
power. Clock switching will not occur if the primary
system clock is already configured as INTRC.
If the system clock does not come from the INTRC
(31.25 kHz) when the SCS bits are changed and the
IRCF bit s in the OSC CO N regi ster are configured for a
frequency other than INTRC, the frequency may not be
stable immediately. The IOFS bit (OSCCON<2>) will
be set when the INTOSC or postscaler frequency is
stable, after 4 ms (approx.).
After a clock swi tch has b een exec uted, th e OSTS bit
is cleare d, indicati ng a low-powe r mode and the dev ice
does not run from the primary system clock. The inter-
nal Q clocks are held in the Q1 state until eight falling
edge clocks are counted on the INTRC oscillator. After
the eight cl ock peri ods hav e trans pi red , the clock inp ut
to the Q clo cks is released an d operation resu mes (see
Figure 4-7).

4.7.2 SEC_RUN MODE
The core and peripherals can be configured to be
clocked by T1OSC using a 32.768 kHz crystal. The
crystal must be connected to the T1OSO and T1OSI
pins. This is the same configuration as the low-power
timer circuit (see Section 7.6 “Timer1 Oscillator”).
When SCS bits are configured to run from T1OSC, a
clock transition is generated. It will clear the OSTS bit,
switch th e sys tem cl ock fro m eith er the pri mary sys tem
clock or INTRC, depending on the value of SCS<1:0>
and FOSC<2:0>, to the external low-power Timer1
oscillator input (T1OSC) and shut-down the primary
system clock to conserve power.
After a cloc k swit ch has been ex ec uted , the in ter nal Q
clocks are held in the Q1 state until eight falling edge
clocks are counted on the T1OSC. After the eight clock
periods have transp ired, t he clock i nput to th e Q clo cks
is relea se d a nd o pera tio n re su mes (s ee Fig ure 4-8). In
addition, T1RUN (in T1CON) is set to indicate that
T1OSC is being used as the system clock.
FIGURE 4-8: TIMING DIAGRAM FOR SWITCHING TO SEC_RUN MODE
Note 1: The T1OSC EN bi t must be enabl ed and i t

4.7.3 SEC_RUN/RC_RUN TO PRIMARY
CLOCK SOURCE
When switching from a SEC_RUN or RC_RUN mode
back to the primary syste m clock, foll owing a chang e of
SCS<1:0> to ‘00’, the sequence of events that take
place will depend upon the value of the FOSC bits in
the Conf iguration regis ter . If the primary clo ck sou rce is
configured as a crystal (HS, XT or LP), then the
transiti on will t ake pl ace aft er 1024 clo ck cycl es. This is
necessary because the crystal oscillator has been
powered down until the time of the transition. In order
to provide the system with a reliable clock when the
changeover has occurred, the clock will not be
released to the changeover circuit until the 1024 counts
have expired.
During the oscillator start-up time, the system clock
comes from the current system clock. Instruction
execution and/or peripheral operation continues using
the currently selected oscillator as the CPU clock
source, until the necessary clock count has expired, to
ensure that the primary system clock is stable.
To know when the OST has expired, the OSTS bit
should be monitored. OSTS = 1 indicates that the
Oscil la tor Start-up Timer has timed out and the system
cloc k comes from t he primary clock s ource.
Following the oscillator start-up time, the internal Q
clocks are held in the Q1 state until eight falling edge
clock s are coun ted from the prima ry sys tem cloc k. The
clock input to the Q clocks is then released and
operation resumes with the primary system clock
determined by the FOSC bits (see Figure 4-10).
When in SEC_RUN mode, the act of clearing the
T1OSCEN bit in the T1CON register will cause
SCS<0> to be cleared, which causes the SCS<1:0>
bits to revert to ‘00’ or ‘10’ depending on wh at SCS<1>
is. Althou gh the T1OSCEN bit was c leared, T1OSC will
be enabled and instruction execution w i ll c on tin ue until
the OST time-out for the main system clock is com-
plete. At th at time, the system cloc k will switc h from the
T1OSC to the primary clock or the INTRC. Following
this, the Timer1 oscillator will be shut-down.
4.7.3.1 Returning to Primary Clock Source
Sequence
Changing back to the primary oscillator from
SEC_RUN or RC_RUN can be accomplished by either
changing SCS<1:0> to ‘00’ or clearing the T1OSCEN
bit in th e T1CON register (i f T1OSC wa s the sec ondary
clock).
The sequence of events that follows is the same for
both modes :
1. If the primary system clock is configured as EC,
RC or IN TRC, then t he OST time-ou t is skip ped.
Skip to step 3.
2. If th e prim ary sys tem clo ck is confi gured as an
external oscillator (HS, XT, LP), then the OST
will be active, waiting for 1024 clocks of the
prim ary sy stem clock.
3. On the following Q1, the device holds the
system clock in Q1.
4. The device stays in Q1 while eight falling edges
of the primary system clock are counted.
5. Once the eight counts transpire, the device
begins to run from the primary oscillator.
6. If the secondary clock was INTRC and the
primary clock is not INTRC, the INTRC will be
shut-down to save current, providing that the
INTRC is not being used for any other function,
such as WDT or Fail-Safe Clock Monitoring.
7. If the secondary clock was T1OSC, the T1OSC
will continue to run if T1OSCEN is still set;
otherwise, the Timer1 oscillator will be shut-down.
Note: If the p r im ary sy s tem c loc k is ei t he r R C or
EC, an internal delay timer (5-10 s) will
suspen d oper ation a fte r exiti ng Sec ondary
Clock mode to allow the CPU to become
ready for code execution.

4.7.3.2 Returning to Primary Oscillator with
a Reset
A Reset will clear SCS<1:0> back to ‘00’. The
sequence for starting the primary oscillator following a
Reset is the same for all forms of Reset, including
POR. There is no transition sequence from the
alte rnat e syst em clo ck to th e pri mary s ystem clock on
a Reset condition. Instead, the device will reset the
state of the OSCCON register and default to the
primary system clock. The sequence of events that
take place after this will depend upon the value of the
FOSC bits in t he Conf igur ation r egist er. I f the exter nal
osci llator is configured as a crystal (HS, X T or LP), the
CPU wi ll be h eld in th e Q1 st at e until 1024 clock cyc les
have transpired on the primary clock. This is
necessary because the crystal oscillator had been
powered down until the time of the transition.
During the oscillator start-up time, instruction
execution and/or peripheral operation is suspended.
If the primary system clock is either RC, EC or INTRC,
the CPU will begin operating on the first Q1 cycle
following the wake-up event. This means that there is
no oscillator start-up time required because the
primary clock is already stable; however, there is a
delay between the wake-up event and the following
Q2. An internal delay timer of 5-10 s will suspend
operation after the Reset to allow the CPU to become
ready for code execution. The CPU and peripheral
clock will be held in the first Q1.
The sequence of events is as follows:
1. A device Reset is asserted from one of many
sources (WDT, BOR, MCLR, etc.).
2. The device resets and the CPU start-up timer is
enabled if in Sleep mode. The device is held in
Reset until the CPU start-up time-out is
complete.
3. If th e prim ary sys tem clo ck is confi gured as an
external oscillator (HS, XT, LP), then the OST
will be activ e waiti ng for 102 4 clocks of the pri -
mary system clock. While waiting for the OST,
the device will be held in Reset. The OST and
CPU start-up timers run in parallel.
4. After both the CPU start-up timer and the
Oscillator Start-up Timer have timed out, the
device will wait for one additional clock cycle
and instruction execution will begin.
FIGURE 4-10: TIM ING LP CLOCK TO PRIMARY SYSTEM CLOCK AFTER RESET (HS, XT, LP)
Note: If Two-Speed Clock Start-up mode is
enabled, the INTRC will act as the system
clock until the Oscillat or Start-up T imer has
timed out.

4.7.4 EXITING SLEEP WITH AN
INTERRUPT
Any interru pt, such as WDT or INT0 , will cause the part
to leave the Sleep mode.
The SCS bits are unaffected by a SLEEP command and
are the same before and after entering and leaving
Sleep. The clock source used after an exit from Sleep
is determined by the SCS bits.
4.7.4.1 Sequence of Events
If SCS<1:0> = 00:
1. The device is held in Sleep until the CPU st art-up
time-out is complete.
2. If the primary system clock is configured as an
external oscillator (HS, XT, LP), then the OST will
be active waiting for 1024 clocks of the primary
system clock. While waiting for the OST, the
device will be held in Sleep unless Two-Speed
Start-up is enabled. The OST and CPU start-up
timers run in parallel. Refer to Section 15.17.3
“Two-Speed Clock Start-up Mode” for details
on Two-S p eed Start-up.
3. After both the CPU start-up timer and the
Oscillator Start-up Timer have timed out, the
device will exit Sleep and begin instruction
execution with the primary clock defined by the
FOSC bits.
If SCS<1:0> = 01 or 10:
1. The device is held in Sleep until the CPU st art-up
time-out is complete.
2. After the CPU start-up timer has timed out, the
device will exit Sleep and begin instruction
execution with the selected oscillator mode.
Note: If a user changes SCS<1:0> just before
entering Sleep mode, the system clock
used when exiting Sleep mode could be
different than the system clock used when
entering Sleep mode.
As an ex ample, i f SCS<1 :0> = 01, T 1OSC
is the system clock and the following
instructions are executed:
BCF OSCCON,SCS0
SLEEP
then a clock change event is executed. If
the primary oscillator is XT, LP or HS, the
core will continue to run off T1OSC and
execute the SLEEP comm and .
When Sleep is ex ited, the part will resume
operation with the primary oscillator after
the OST has expired.

5.0 I/O PORTS
Some pins for these I/O ports are multiplexed with an
alternate function for the peripheral features on the
device. In general, when a peripheral is enabled, that
pin may not be used as a general purpose I/O pin.
Addit ion al inf orm atio n o n I/O ports may be found in the
“PIC® Mid-Range MCU Family Reference Manual”
(DS33023).
5.1 PORTA and the TRISA Register
PORTA is a 8-bit wide, bidirectional port. The corre-
sponding data direction register is TRISA. Setting a
TRISA bit (= 1) will make th e corresponding PORT A pin
an input (i.e., put the corresponding output driver in a
high-impedance mode). Clearing a TRISA bit (= 0) will
make the correspon ding POR TA pin an out put (i.e., put
the contents of the output latch on the selected pin).
Reading the PORTA register reads the status of the
pins, whereas writing to it, will write to the port latch.
The RA4 pin is multiplexed with the Timer0 module
clock input and one of the comparator outputs to
become the RA4/T0CKI/C1OUT pin. Pins RA6 and
RA7 are multiplexed with the main oscillator pins; they
are enabled as oscillator or I/O pins by the selection of
the main oscillator in Configuration Register 1H (see
Section 15.1 “Configuration Bits” for details). When
they are not used as port pins, RA6 and RA7 and their
associated TRIS and LAT bits are read as ‘0’.
The other PORTA pins are multiplexed with analog
inputs, the analog VREF+ and VREF- inputs and the
comparator voltage reference output. The oper ation of
pins RA3:RA0 and RA5 as A/D converter inputs is
selected by clearing/setting the control bits in the
ADCON1 register (A/D Control Register 1). Pins RA0
through RA5 may also be used as comparator inputs or
outputs by setting the appropriate bits in the CMCON
register .
The R A4/T0C KI/C1O UT pin i s a Schm itt Trigger input
and an open-drain output. All other PORTA pins have
TTL input levels and full CMOS output drivers.
The TRISA register controls the direction of the RA pins
even when they are being used as analog inputs. The
user must ensure the bits in the TRISA register are
maintained set when using them as analog inputs.
EXAMPLE 5-1: INITIA LIZI NG PORTA
Note: On a Power-on Reset, RA5 and RA3:RA0
are configured as analog inputs and read
as ‘0’. RA4 is configured as a digital input.

5.2 PORTB and the TRISB Register
PORTB is an 8-bit wide, bidirectional port. The corre-
sponding data direction register is TRISB. Setting a
TRISB bit (= 1) will make the corresponding PORTB
pin an input (i.e., put the corresponding output driver in
a high-impedance mode). Clearing a TRISB bit (= 0)
will make th e corresp onding POR TB pi n an out put (i.e .,
put the contents of the output latch on the selected pin).
Each of th e POR TB pins has a we ak inte rnal pul l-up. A
single control bit can turn on all the pull-ups. This is
performed by clearing bit RBPU (OPTION_REG<7>).
The weak pull-up is automatically turned off when the
port pin is configured as an output. The pull-ups are
disabled on a Power-on Reset.
PORTB pins are multiplexed with analog inputs. The
operat ion of eac h pin is selected by clear ing/settin g the
appropri ate con t rol bit s in the ADC ON1 regist er.
Four of the PORTB pins (RB7:RB4) have an interrupt-
on-change feature. Only pins configured as inputs can
cause this interrupt to occur (i.e., any RB7:RB4 pin
configured as an output is excluded from the interrupt-
on-change comparison). The input pins (of RB7:RB4)
are compared with the old value latched on the last
read of PORTB. The “mismatch” outputs of RB7:RB4
are ORed together to generate the RB port change
interrupt with flag bit, RBIF (INTCON<0>).
This interrupt can wake the device from Sleep. The
user, in the Interrupt Service Routine, can clear the
inter rupt in the following manne r:
a) Any read or write of PORTB. This will end the
mismatch condition.
b) Clear flag bit RBIF.
A mismatch condition will continue to set flag bit RBIF.
Reading PORTB will end the mismatch condition and
allow flag bit RBIF to be cleared.
The interrupt-on-change feature is recommended for
wake-up on key depression operation and operations
where PORTB is only used for the interrupt-on-change
feature. Polling of PORTB is not recommended while
using the interrupt-on-change feature.
This interrupt on mismatch feature, together with soft-
ware configureable pull-ups on these four pins, allow
easy interface to a keypad and make it possible for
wake-up on key depression. Refer to the Application
Note AN552 Implementing Wake-up on Key Stroke
(DS00552).
RB0/INT is an external interrupt input pin and is
configured using the INTEDG bit (OPTION_REG<6>).
RB0/IN T is d iscus sed i n det ai l in Section 15 .15.1 “ INT
Interrupt”.
PORTB i s multiplexed w ith several pe ripheral function s
(see Table 5-3). PORTB pins have Schmitt Trigger
input buffers.
When enabling peripheral functions, care should be
taken in defining TRIS bits for each PORTB pi n. Some
peripherals override the TRIS bit to make a pin an out-
put, while other peripherals override the TRIS bit to
make a pin an input. Since the TRIS bit override is in
effect while the peripheral is enabled, read-modify-
write instructions (BSF, BCF, XORWF) with TRISB as
dest ination shoul d be avoided. The user sh ould refer to
the corresponding peripheral section for the correct
TRIS bit settings.
Note: On a Power-on Reset, these pins are
configured as analog inputs and read as
0’.

5.3 PORTC and the TRISC Register
PORTC is an 8-bit wide, bidirectional port. The corre-
sponding data direction register is TRISC. 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 mak e the correspo nding PORT C pin a n output (i.e.,
put the contents of the output latch on the selected pin).
PORT C is multip lexed with s everal periphe ral function s
(Table 5-5). PORTC pins have Schmitt Trigger input
buffers.
When enabling peripheral functions, care should be
taken in defining TRIS bit s for each PORT C pi n. Som e
peripherals override the TRIS bit to make a pin an
outp ut , whi le ot her pe ri ph e r al s ov err i d e the TR IS bi t to
make a pin an input. Since the TRIS bit override is in
effect while the peripheral is enabled, read-modify-
write instr uctions (BSF, BCF, XORWF) with TRISC as
dest ination shoul d be avoided. The user s hould refer to
the corresponding peripheral section for the correct
TRIS bit s ettings and to Section 16.1 “Read-Modify-
Write Operations” for additional information on
read-modify-write operations.

5.4 PORTD and TRISD Registers
This section is not applicable to the PIC16F737 or
PIC16F767.
PORTD is an 8-bit port with Schmitt Trigger input
buffers. Each pin is individually configureable as an
input or output.
PORTD can be configured as an 8-bit wide micro-
processor port (Parallel Slave Port) by setting control
bit, PSPMODE (TRISE<4>). In this mode, the input
buffe rs are TTL.

5.5 PORTE and TRISE Register
This section is not applicable to the PIC16F737 or
PIC16F767.
PORTE has four pins, RE0/RD/AN5, RE1/WR/AN6,
RE2/CS/AN7 and MCLR/VPP/RE3, which are individu-
ally configureable as inputs or outputs. These p ins have
Schmitt T rigger input buffers. RE3 is only available as an
input if MCLRE is ‘0’ in Configura tion W ord 1.
I/O PORTE becomes control inputs for the micro-
processor port when bit, PSPMODE (TRISE<4>), is
set. In this mode, the user must make sure that the
TRISE<2:0> bits are set (pins are configured as digital
input s). Ensure ADCO N1 is configure d for digital I/O. In
this mode, the input buffers are TTL.
Register 5-1 shows the TRISE register which also
controls the Parallel Slave Port operation.
PORTE pins are multiplexed with analog inputs. When
select ed as an analog input, these pins will read as ‘0’s.
TRISE controls the direction of the RE pins, even when
they are being used as analog inputs. The user must
make sure to keep the pins configured as inputs when
using them as analog inputs.

5.6 Parallel Slave Port
The Parallel Slave Port (PSP) is not implemented on
the PIC16F737 or PIC16F767.
PORT D operates as an 8-bit wide Parallel Slave Port or
microprocessor port when control bit, PSPMODE
(TRISE<4> ), is set. In Slave mode, it is a synchronousl y
readable and writable by an external system using the
read control input pin RE0/RD/AN5, the write control
input pin RE1/WR/AN6 and the chip select control input
pin RE2/CS/AN7.
The PSP can directly interface to an 8-bit micro-
processor data bus. The external microprocessor can
read or write the POR TD latch a s an 8-bit latc h. Setting
bit PSPMODE enables port pin RE0/RD/AN5 to be the
RD input, RE1/WR/AN6 to be the WR input and
RE2/CS/AN7 to be the CS (Chip Select) input. For thi s
functionality, the corresponding data direction bits of
the TRISE register (TRISE<2:0>) must be configured
as inputs (i.e., set). The A/D port configuration bits,
PCFG3:PCFG0 (ADCON1<3:0>), must be set to
configure pins RE2:RE0 as digital I/O.
There a re act ually two 8-bit l atches, one for d ata o utput
(external reads) and one for data input (external
writes). The firmware writes 8-bit data to the PORTD
output data latch and reads data from the PORTD input
data latch (note that they have the same address). In
this mode, the TRISD register is ignored since the
external device is controlling the direction of data flow.
An external write to the PSP occurs when the CS and
WR lines are both detected low . Firmware can read the
actual data on th e PORTD pins during this time. W hen
either the CS or WR lines become high (level trig-
gered), the data on the PORTD pin s is latc he d and the
Input Buffer Full (IBF) status flag bit (TRISE<7>) and
interrupt flag bit, PSPIF (PIR1<7>), are set on the Q4
clock cycle following the next Q2 cycle to signal the
write is complete (Figure 5-21). Firmware clears the
IBF flag by readi ng the la tched PO RTD data a nd clea rs
the PSPIF bit.
The Input Buffer Overflow (IBOV) status flag bit
(TRISE<5>) is set if an external write to the PSP occurs
while the IBF flag is set from a previous external write.
The previous PORTD data is overwritten with the new
data. IBOV is cleared by reading PORTD and clearing
IBOV.
A read from t he PSP occurs when both the CS and RD
lines are detected low. The data in the PORTD output
latch is output to the PORTD pins. The Output Buffer
Full (OBF) status flag bit (TRISE<6>) is cleared imme-
diately (Figure 5-22), indicating that the PORTD latch is
being read or has been read by the external bus. If
firmwa re writes new dat a to t he o utp ut latc h during this
time, it is immediately output to the PORTD pins but
OBF will remain cleared.
When either the CS or RD pins are detected high, the
PORTD outputs are disabled and the interrupt flag bit
PSPIF is set on the Q4 clock cycle following the next
Q2 cycle, indicating that the read is complete. OBF
remains low until firmware writes new data to PORTD.
When not in PSP mode, t he I BF an d OBF b it s are hel d
clear . F lag bit IBOV rem ains unchange d. The PSPIF b it
must be cleared by the user in firmware; the interrupt
can be disabled by clearing the interrupt enable bit,
PSPIE (PIE1<7>).

6.0 T IMER0 MODULE
The Timer0 module timer/counter has the following
features:
8-bit timer/counter
Readable and writable
8-bit software programmable prescaler
Internal or external clock select
Interrupt on overflow from FFh to 00h
Edge select for external clock
Additional information on the Timer0 module is
available in the “PIC® Mid-Range MCU Family Refer-
ence Manual” (DS330 23) .
Figure 6-1 i s a block diagram of th e Ti mer0 module and
the prescaler shared with the WDT.
6.1 Timer0 Operation
Timer0 operation is controlled through the
OPTION_REG register (se e Register 2-2). T imer mode
is selected by clearing bit T0CS (OPTION_REG<5>).
In T imer m ode, the T ime r0 module w ill incr ement eve ry
instruc tion cy cle (with out pr escal er). If the TMR0 regis-
ter is w ritten , the i ncrem ent is inhi bited f or the follow ing
two instruction cycles. The user can work around this
by writing an adjusted value to the TMR0 register.
Counter mode is selected by setting bit, T0CS
(OPTION_REG<5>). In Counter mode, Timer0 will
increment, either on every rising or falling edge of pin
RA4/T0CKI/C1OUT. The incrementing edge is
determined by the Timer0 Source Edge Select bit, T0SE
(OPTION_REG< 4>). Clearing bit T0SE selects the rising
edge. Restrictions on the external clock input are
discuss ed in de tail i n Section6.3Using Timer0 With
an External Clock”.
The prescaler is mutually, exclusively shared between
the Timer0 module and the Watchdog Timer. The
prescaler is not readable or writable. Section 6.4
“Prescaler” details the operation of the prescaler.
6.2 Timer0 Interrupt
The TMR0 interrupt is generated when the TMR0 reg-
ister overflows from FFh to 00h. This overflow sets bit
TMR0IF (INTCON<2>). The interrupt can be masked
by clearing bit TMR0IE (INTCON<5>). Bit TMR0IF
must be cleared in software by the Timer0 module
Interrupt Service Routine before re-enabling this
interrupt. The TMR0 interrupt cannot awaken the
processor from Sleep since the ti mer is shut-off during
Sleep.

6.3 Using Timer0 With an
External Clock
When no pr escal er is used, t he ex ternal clo ck inp ut is
the same as the pre sc al er outp ut. Th e sy nch ron iz atio n
of T0CKI with the internal phase clocks is accom-
plishe d by sampling the prescale r output on the Q2 and
Q4 cycles of the internal phase clocks. Therefore, it is
necessary for T0CKI to be high for at least 2 TOSC (and
a small RC delay of 20 ns) and low for at least 2 TOSC
(and a small RC delay of 20 ns). Refer to the electrical
specification of the desired device.
6.4 Prescaler
There i s only one pres caler a vailable , whic h is mutu ally
exclus ively shar ed between th e T imer0 mod ule and the
Watchdog Timer. A prescaler assignment for the
Timer0 module means that the prescaler cannot be
used by the Watchdog Timer and vice versa. This
prescaler is not readable or writable (see Figu re 6-1).
The PSA and PS2:PS0 bits (OPTION_REG<3:0>)
determine the prescaler assignment and prescale ratio.
When assigned to the Timer0 module, all instructions
writing to the TMR0 register (e.g., CLRF 1, MOVWF 1,
BSF 1,x....etc.) will clear the prescaler. When assigned
to WDT, a CLRWDT instruction will clear the prescaler
along with the Watchdog Timer. The prescaler is not
readable or writable .
Note: Althou gh the presca ler can be assi gned to
either the WDT or Timer0, but not both, a
new divide counter is implemented in the
WDT circui t to giv e m ul tipl e WDT tim e-o ut
selecti on s. T his al low s TM R0 an d WD T to
each have their own scaler. Refer to
Section 15.17 “W atchdog Timer (WDT)”
for further details.
Note: Writing to TMR0 when the prescaler is
assign ed to Timer0 will clear th e prescal er
count but will not change the prescaler
assignment.

7.0 T IMER1 MODULE
The Timer1 module is a 16 -bi t timer/c ou nter c ons is tin g
of two 8-bit registers (TMR1H and TMR1L) which are
readable and writable. The TMR1 register pair
(TMR1H:TMR1L) increments from 0000h to FFFFh
and rol ls over to 0000h. Th e TMR1 inter rupt, if e nabled,
is generated on overflow which is latched in interrupt
flag bit, TMR1IF (PIR1<0>). This interrupt can be
enabled/disabled by setting/clearing TMR1 interrupt
enable bit, TMR1IE (PIE1<0> ).
The T imer1 oscillator c an be used as a secondary clock
source in low-power modes. Whe n the T1RUN bit is set
along with SC S<1:0> = 01, the T imer1 osci llator is pro-
vidin g the syst em cloc k. If the F ail-Saf e Clock Mon itor
is enabled and the Timer1 oscillator fails while
providing the system clock, polling the T1RUN bit will
indicate whether the clock is being provided by the
Timer1 oscillator or another source.
Timer1 can also be used to provide Real-Time Clock
(RTC) functionality to applications with only a minimal
addition of external components and code overhead.
7.1 Timer1 Operation
Timer1 can operate in one of three modes:
•as a Timer
as a Synchronous Counter
as an Asynchronous Counter
The operating mode is determined by the clock select
bit, TMR1CS (T1CON<1>).
In Timer mode, Timer1 increments every instruction
cycle. In Counter mode, it increments on every rising
edge of the external clock input.
Timer1 can be enabled/disabled by setting/clearing
control bit, TMR1ON (T1CON<0>).
Timer1 also has an internal “Reset input”. This Reset
can be generated by the CCP1 module as the special
event trigger (see Section 9.4 “Capture Mode”).
Register 7-1 shows the Timer1 Control register.
When the Timer1 oscillator is enabled (T1OSCEN is
set), the RC0/T1OSO/T1CKI and RC1/T1OSI/CCP2
pins become inputs. That is, the TRISB<7:6> value is
ignored and these pins read as ‘0’.
Additional information on timer modules is available in
the “PIC® Mid-Range MCU Family Reference Manual”
(DS33023).

7.2 Timer1 Operation in Timer Mode
Timer mode is selected by clearing the TMR1CS
(T1CON<1>) bit. In this mode, the input clock to the
timer is FOSC/4. The synchronize control bit, T1SYNC
(T1CON<2>), has no effect since the internal clock is
always in sync.
7.3 Timer1 Counter Operation
Timer1 may operate in Asynchronous or Synchronous
mode depending on the setting of the TMR1CS bit.
When Timer1 is being incremented via an external
source, increments occur on a rising edge. After T imer1
is enab led in Coun ter mode, the module must first have
a falling edge before the counter begins to increment.
7.4 Timer1 Operation in Synchr onized
Counter Mode
Counter mode is selected by setting bit TMR1CS. In
this mode, the timer increments on every rising edge of
clock input on pin RC1/T1OSI/CCP2 when bit
T1OSCEN is set, or on pin RC0/T1OSO/T1CKI when
bit T1OSCEN is cleared.
If T1SYNC is cleared, then the external clock input is
synchronized with internal phase clocks. The synchro-
nization is done after the prescaler stage. The
prescaler stage is an asynchronous ripple counter.
In this con figuration during Sleep mode, T imer1 will not
increment even if the external clock is present, since
the synchronization circuit is shut-off. The prescaler,
however, will continue to increment.

7.5 Timer1 Operation in
Asynchronous Counter Mode
If control bi t, T1SYNC (T1CON<2>), is set, the ext ernal
clock input is not synchronized. The timer continues to
increment asynchronous to the internal phase clocks.
The timer will continue to run during Sleep and can
generate an interrupt on overflow that will wake-up the
processor. However, special precautions in software
are needed to read/write the timer (Section 7.5.1
“Reading and Writing Timer1 in Asynchronous
Counter Mode”).
In Asynchronous Counter mode, Timer1 cannot be
used as a time base for capture or compare ope rations.
7.5.1 READING AND WR ITING T I MER1 IN
ASYNCHRONOUS COUNTER MODE
Reading TMR1H or TMR1L while the timer is running
from an e xternal asyn chronous cl ock will ens ure a valid
read (taken care of in hardware). However, the user
should keep i n mind that rea ding t he 16-bi t ti mer in two
8-bit values itself, poses certain problems, since the
timer may overflow between the reads.
For writes , it is re commend ed that th e user s imply sto p
the timer and write the desired values. A write conten-
tion may occur by writing to the Timer registers while
the register is incrementing. This may produce an
unpredic table value in the Timer register.
Reading the 16-bit value requires some care. The
example codes provided in Example 7-1 and
Example 7-2 demonstrate how to write to and read
Timer1 while it is running in Asynchronous mode.

7.6 Timer1 Oscillator
A crystal oscillator circuit is built between pins T1OSI
(input) and T1OSO (amplifier output). It is enabled by
setting control bit, T1OSCEN (T1CON<3>). The oscil-
lator is a low-power oscillator, rated up to 32.768 kHz.
It will continue to run during all power-managed mo des.
It is primarily intended for a 32 kHz crystal. The circuit
for a typical LP oscillator is shown in Figure 7-3.
Table 7-1 shows the capacitor selection for the Timer1
oscillator.
The user m us t prov id e a so ftware time delay to en su re
proper oscillator start-up.

TABLE 7-1: CAPACITOR SELECTION FOR

7.7 Timer1 Oscillator Layout
Considerations
The Timer1 oscillator circuit draws very little power
during operation. Due to the low-power nature of the
oscillator, it may also be sensitive to rapidly changing
signals in close proximity.
The oscillator circuit, shown in Figure 7-3, should be
located as close as possible to the microcontroller.
There should be no circuits passing within the oscillator
circuit boundaries other than VSS or VDD.
If a high-spee d c ircui t m us t b e l oc ate d n ear the os c ill a-
tor, a grounded guard ring around the oscillator circuit,
as shown in Figure 7-4, may be helpful when used on
a single sided PCB or in addition to a ground pl ane.

7.8 Resetting Timer1 Using a CCP
Trigger Output
If the CCP1 module is configured in Compare mode to
generate a “special event trigger” signal
(CCP1M3:CCP1M0 = 1011), the signal will reset
Timer1 and start an A/D conversion (if the A/D module
is enabled).
T imer 1 must be co nfigured fo r either T i mer or Synch ro-
nized Counter mode to take advantage of this feature.
If Timer1 is running in Asynchronous Counter mode,
this Reset operation may not work.
In the event that a write to Timer1 coincides with a
special event trigger from CCP1, the write will take
precedence.
In this mode of operation, the CCPR1H:CCPR1L
register pair effecti ve ly b ec ome s th e period register for
Timer1.

7.9 Resetting Timer1 Register Pair
(TMR1H, TMR1L)
TMR1H an d TMR1L reg isters are not rese t to 00h on a
POR, or any other Reset, except by the CCP1 special
event triggers.
T1CON re gister is re set to 00h o n a Power-on Re set or
a Brown-out Reset, which shuts off the timer and
leaves a 1:1 prescale. In all other Resets, the register
is unaffected.
7.10 Timer1 Prescaler
The prescaler counter is cleared on writes to the
TMR1H or TMR1L registers.
7.1 1 Using Timer1 as a Real-T ime Clock
Adding an extern al LP os cilla tor to Timer1 (such a s the
one described in Section 7.6 “Timer1 Oscillator”)
gives users the option to include RTC functionality in
their applications. This is accomplished with an inex-
pensiv e watc h cry sta l to p rovide a n accura te tim e base
and several lines of application code to calculate the
time. When operating in Sleep mode and using a
battery or supercapacitor as a power source, it can
completely eliminate the need for a separate RTC
device and battery backup.
The application code routine, RTCisr, shown in
Example 7-3, demonstrates a simple method to
increment a counter at one-second intervals using an
Interrupt Service Routine. Incrementing the TMR1 reg-
ister p air to overflow, triggers the in terrupt and ca lls th e
routine which increments the seconds counter by one;
additional counters for minutes and hours are
inc remen ted as the previo us counter overflows.
Since the register pair is 16 bits wide, counting up to
overflow the register directly from a 32.768 kHz clock
would take 2 seconds. To force the overflow at the
required one-second intervals, it is necessary to
preload it. The simplest method is to set the MSb of
TMR1H with a BSF instruction. Note that the TMR1L
register is never preloaded or altered; doing so may
introduce cumulative error over many cycles.
For this m ethod to be a ccurate, T imer 1 must o perate in
Asynchronous mode and the Timer1 overflow interrupt
must be enabled (PIE1<0> = 1) as shown in the
routine, RTCinit. The Timer1 oscillator must also be
enabled and running at all times.

8.0 T IMER2 MODULE
Timer2 is an 8-bit timer with a prescaler and a
post scaler . It can be used as the PWM tim e base for the
PWM mode of the CCP module(s). The TMR2 register
is readable and writable and is cleared on any device
Reset.
The in put cloc k (FOSC/4) has a prescale option of 1:1,
1:4 or 1:16, selected by control bits,
T2CKPS1:T2CKPS0 (T2CON<1: 0>).
The Timer2 module has an 8-bit period register, PR2.
Timer2 increments from 00h until it matches PR2 and
then resets to 00h on the next increment cycle. PR2 is
a readable and writable register. The PR2 register is
initialized to FFh upon Reset.
The match output of TMR2 goes through a 4-bit
postscaler (which gives a 1:1 to 1:16 scaling inclusive)
to generate a TMR2 interrupt, latched in flag bit,
TMR2IF (PIR1<1>).
T imer2 can b e shut-of f by clearing control bit, T MR2ON
(T2CON<2> ), to minimize power consumption.
Register 8-1 shows the Timer2 Control register.
Additional information on timer modules is available in
the “PIC® Mid-Range MCU Family Reference Manual”
(DS33023).
8.1 Timer2 Prescaler and Postscaler
The prescaler and postscaler counters are cleared
when any of the following occurs:
a write to the TMR2 register
a write to the T2CON register
any device Reset (POR, MCLR Reset, WDT
Reset or BOR)
TMR2 is not cleared when T2CON is written.
8.2 Output of TMR2
The output of TMR2 (before the postscaler) is fed to the
SSP module which optionally uses it to generate the
shift clock.

9.0 CAPTURE/COMPARE/PWM
MODULES
Each Capture/Compare/PWM (CCP) module contains
a 16-bit register which can operate as a:
16-bit Capture register
16-bit Compare register
PWM Master/Slave Duty Cycle register
The CCP1, CCP2 and CCP3 modules are identical in
operatio n, with th e except ion being the operati on of the
specia l event trigger. Table 9-1 and Table 9-2 show the
resources and interactions of the CCP module(s). In
the following sections, the operation of a CCP module
is described with respect to CCP1. CCP2 and CCP3
operate the same as CCP1, except where noted.
9.1 CCP1 Module
Capture/Compare/PWM Register 1 (CCPR1) is
comprised of two 8-bit registers: CCPR1L (low byte)
and C CPR1H (high byte). T he CCP1C ON register con-
trols the operation of CCP1. The special event trigger
is generated by a compare match and will clear both
TMR1H and TMR1L registers.
9.2 CCP2 Module
Capture/Compare/PWM Register 2 (CCPR2) is com-
prised of two 8-bit registers: CCPR2L (low byte) and
CCPR2H (high byte). The CCP2CON register controls
the operation of CCP2. The special event trigger is gen-
erated by a compare match; it will clear both TMR1H and
TMR1L registers and s tart an A/D conversion (if the A/D
module is enabled).
Additional information on CCP modules is available in

9.4 Capture Mode
In Capture mode, CCPR1H:CCPR1L captures the
16-bit value of the TMR1 r egister wh en an eve nt occurs
on pin RC2/CCP1. An event is defined as one of the
following and is configured by CCPxCON<3:0>:
Every falling edge
Every rising edge
Every 4th rising edge
Every 16th rising edge
An even t is sel ected by c ontrol bit s, CCP1 M3:CCP1M 0
(CCP1CON<3:0>). When a capture is made, the inter-
rupt request flag bit, CCP1IF (PIR1<2>), is set. The
interrupt flag must be cleared in software. If another
capture occurs before the value in register CCPR1 is
read, the old captured value is overwritten by the new
captured value.
9.4.1 CCP PIN CONFIGURATION
In Capture mode, the RC2/CCP1 pin should be
configured as an input by setting the TRISC<2> bit.
FIGURE 9-1: CAPTURE MODE
OPERATION BLOCK
DIAGRAM
9.4.2 TIMER1 MODE SELECTION
Timer1 must be running in Timer mode or Synchro-
nized Counter mode for the CCP module to use the
capture feature. In Asynchronous Counter mode, the
capture ope ration may not wo rk.
9.4.3 SOFTWARE INTERRUPT
When the Capture mode is changed, a false capture
interrupt may be generated. The user should keep bit,
CCP1IE (PIE1<2>), clear to avoid false interrupts and
should clear the flag bit, CCP1IF, following any such
change in operati ng mode.
9.4.4 CCP PRESCALER
There are four prescaler settings specified by bits,
CCP1M3:CCP1M0. 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 may
generate an interrupt. Also, the prescaler counter will
not be cleare d, therefore , the first cap ture may be from
a non-zero prescaler. Example 9-1 shows the
recommended method for switching between capture
prescalers. This example also clears the prescaler
counter and will not generate the “false” interrupt.
EXAMPLE 9-1: CHANGIN G BETWEEN
CAPTURE PRESCALERS
9.5 Compare Mode
In Compare mode, the 16-bit CCPR1 register value is
constantly compared against the TMR1 register pair
value. When a match occurs, the RC 2/CCP1 pin is:
Driven high
•Driven low
Remains unchanged
The action on the pin is based on the value of control
bits, CCP1M3:CCP1M0 (CCP1CON<3:0>). At the
same time, interrupt flag bit CCP1IF is set.

Note: If the RC2/CCP1 pin is configured as an
output, a write to the port can cause a

9.5.1 CCP PIN CONFIGURATION
The user must configure the RC2/CCP1 pin as an
output by clearing the TRISC<2> bi t.
9.5.2 TIMER1 MODE SELECTION
Timer1 must be running in Timer mode or Synchro-
nized Counter mode if the CCP module is using the
compare feature. In Asynchronous Counter mode, the
compare operation may not work.
9.5.3 SOFTWARE INTERRUPT MODE
When Generate Software Interrupt mode is chosen, the
CCP1 pin is not aff ect ed. The CCP1 IF or CCP 2IF bit is
set, causing a CCP interrupt (if enabled).
9.5.4 SPECIAL EVENT TRIGGER
In this mode, an internal hardware trigger is generated
which may be used to initiate an action.
The special event trigger output of CCP1 resets the
TMR1 regi ste r pai r. Thi s al lows the CCPR 1 re gis ter to
ef fectively b e a 16-bit progra mmable pe riod registe r for

The special event trigger output of CCP2 resets the
TMR1 re gist e r p ai r and starts an A/D co nv ersi on (if th e
A/D module is ena bled).

9.6 PWM Mode (PWM)
In Pulse-Width Modulation mode, the CCPx pin
produces up to a 10-bit resolution PWM output. Since
the CCP1 pin is multiplexed with the PORTC dat a latch,
the TRISC<2> bit must be cleared to make the CCP1
pin an out put.
Figure 9-3 shows a simplified block diagram of the
CCP module in PWM mode.
For a ste p-by-step proc edure on how t o set up the CC P
module for PWM operation, see Section 9.6.3 “Setup
for PWM Operatio n”.
FIGURE 9-3: SIMPLIFIED PWM BLOCK
DIAGRAM
A PWM output (Figure 9-4) has a time base (period)
and a time that the output stays high (duty cycle). The
frequency of the PWM is the inverse of the period
(1/period).
FIGURE 9-4: PWM OUTPUT
9.6.1 PWM PE RIO D
The PWM period is specified by writing to the PR2
register. The PWM period can be calculated using the
following formula:
EQUATION 9-1:
PWM frequency is defined as 1/[PWM period].
When TM R2 is equal to PR2, t he following three event s
occur on the next increment cycl e:
•TMR2 is cleared
The CCP1 pin is set (exception: if PWM duty
cycle = 0%, the CCP1 pin will not be set)
The PWM duty cycle is latched from C CPR1L into
CCPR1H
9.6.2 PWM DUTY CYCLE
The PWM duty cycle is specified by writing to the
CCPR1L register and to the CCP1CON<5:4> bits. Up
to 10- b i t re so l uti on is av ai l ab le. T he CC PR 1L c on tai ns
the eight MSbs and the CCP1CON<5:4> contains the
two LSbs. This 10-bit value is represented by
CCPR1L:CCP1CON<5:4>. The following equation is
used to calculate the PWM duty cycle in time:
EQUATION 9-2:
CCPR1L and CCP1CON<5:4> can be written to a t any
time, but the duty cycle value is not latched into
CCPR1H until after a match between PR2 and TMR2
occurs (i.e., the period is complete). In PWM mode,
CCPR1H is a read-only register.
Note: Clearing the CCP1CON register will force
the CCP1 PWM o utpu t la tch to th e de fau lt
low level. This is not the PORTC I/O data
latch.

The CCPR1H register and a 2-bit internal latch are
used to double-buffer the PWM duty cycle. This
double-buffering is essential for glitchless PWM
operation.

The following steps should be taken when configuring
the CCP module for PWM operation:
1. Set the PWM period by writing to the PR2 register .
2. Set the PWM duty cycle by writing to the
CCPR1L register and CCP1CON<5:4> bits.
3. Make the CCP1 pin an output by clearing the

10.0 MASTER SYNCHRONOUS
SERIAL PORT (MS SP)
MODULE
10.1 Master SSP (MSSP) Module
Overview
The Master Synchronous Serial Port (MSSP) module is
a serial interface, useful for communicating with other
periphera l or m icroc ontroll er dev ices. Th ese p eriphera l
devices may be serial EEPROMs, shift registers,
displa y drivers, A/D converte rs, etc. The MSSP modul e
can operate in one of two modes:
Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI)
Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C™)
- Full Master mode
- Slave mode (with general address call)
The I2C interface supports the following modes in
hardware:
•Master mode
Multi-Master mode
Slave mode
10.2 Control Registers
The MSSP module has three associated registers.
These include a status register (SSPSTAT) and two
control registers (SSPCON and SSPCON2). The use
of the se registers and thei r ind iv idu al c on fig uration bits
differ significantly, depending on whether the MSSP
module is operated in SPI or I2C mode.
Additional details are provided under the individual
sections.
10.3 SPI Mode
The SPI mode allows 8 bits of data to be synchronously
transmitted and recei ved simult aneously. All four modes
of SPI are supported. To accomplish communication,
typically thre e pins are use d:
Serial Data Out (SDO) – RC5/SDO
Serial Data In (SDI) – RC4/SDI/SDA
Serial Clock (SCK) – RC3/SCK/SCL
Additionally, a fourth pin may be used when in a Slave
mode of operation:
Slave Select (SS) – RA5/AN4/LVDIN/SS/C2OUT
Figure 10-1 shows the block diagram of the MSSP
module when operating in SPI mode.

10.3.1 REGISTERS
The MSSP module has four registers for SPI mode
operation. These are:
MSSP Control Register (SSPCON)
MSSP Status Register (SSPSTAT)
Serial Receive/Transmit Buffer (SSPBUF)
MSSP Shift Register (SSPSR) – Not directly
accessible
SSPCON and SSPSTAT are the control and status
registers in SPI mode operation. The SSPCON
register is readable and writable. The lower 6 bits of
the SSPSTAT are read-only. The upper two bits of the
SSPSTAT are read/write.
SSPSR is the shift register used for shifting data in or
out. SSPBUF is the buffer register to which data bytes
are written to or read from.
In receive operations, SSPSR and SSPBUF together
create a double-buffered receiver. When SSPSR
receives a complete byte, it is transferred to SSPBUF
and the SSPIF interrupt is set.
During transmission, the SSPBUF is not double-
buff ered. A write to SSPBUF will write to bo th SSPBUF
and SSPSR.

10.3.2 OPERATION
When initializing the SPI, several options need to be
specif ied. This is done by progra mming the ap propriate
control bits (SSPCON<5:0> and SSPSTAT<7:6>).
These control bits allow the following to be specified:
Master mode (SCK is the clock output)
Slave mode (SCK is the clock input)
Clock Polarity (Idle state of SCK)
Data Input Sample Phase (middle or end of data
output time)
Clock Edge (output data on rising/falling edge of
SCK)
Clock Rate (Master mode only)
Slave Select mode (Slave mode only)
The MSSP consists of a Transmit/Receive Shift register
(SSPSR) and a Buffer register (SSPBUF). The SSPSR
shifts the data in and out of the device, MSb first. The
SSPBUF holds the data that was written to the SSPSR
until the received data is ready. Once the 8 bits of data
have been received, that byte is moved to the SSPBUF
register. Then, the Buffer Full detect bit, BF
(SSPSTAT<0>) and the interrupt flag bit, SSPIF, are set.
This double-buffering of the received data (SSPBUF)
allows the next byte to start recep tion before reading the
data that was just received. Any write to the SSPBUF
register during transmission/reception of data will be
ignored and the Write Collision detect bit, WCOL
(SSPCON<7>), will be set. User sof tware must clear the
WCOL bit so that it can be determined if the following
write(s) to the SSPBUF register completed successfully .
When the application software is expecting to receive
valid da ta, the SSPBUF shoul d be read before th e next
byte of dat a to transfer is writ ten to the SSPBUF. Buffer
Full bit, BF (SSPSTAT<0>), indicates when SSPBUF
has been loaded with the received data (transmission
is complete). When the SSPBUF is read, the BF bit is
cleared. This data may be irrelevant if the SPI is only a
transmitter. Generally, the MSSP interrupt is used to
determine when the transmission/reception has com-
pleted. T he SSPBUF must be rea d and/or written. If the
interrupt method is not goi ng to b e u se d, then s of tw a re
polling can be d one to ensure that a write co llision d oes
not occur. Example 10-1 shows the loading of the
SSPBUF (SSPSR) for data transmission.
The SSPSR is n ot directly re adable or wri table and can
only be accessed by addressing the SSPBUF register.
Additionally, the MSSP Status register (SSPSTAT)
indicates the various status conditions.

10.3.3 ENABLING SPI I/O
To enable the serial port, SSP Enable bit, SSPEN
(SSPCON<5>), must be set. To reset or reconfigure
SPI mode, clear the SSPEN bit, reinitialize the
SSPCON registers and then set the SSPEN bit. This
configures the SDI, SDO, SCK and SS pins as serial
port pins. For the pins to behave as the serial port
function, some must have their data direction bits (in
the TRIS register) appropriately programmed. That is:
SDI is a uto matically control led by the SPI module
SDO must have TRISC<5> bit cleared
SCK (Master mode) must have TRISC<3> bit
cleared
SCK (Slave mode) must have TRISC<3> bit set
•SS
must have TRISA<5> bit set
Any serial port function that is not desired may be
overridden by programming the corresponding data
direction (TRIS) register to the opposite value.
10.3.4 TYPICAL CO NNEC TI ON
Figure 10-2 shows a typical connection between two
microcontrollers. The master controller (Processor 1)
initiates the data transfer by sending the SCK signal.
Data is shifted out of both shift registers on their pro-
grammed clock e dge and l atched on the oppos ite edge
of the cloc k. Both processors should be prog rammed to
the same Clock Polarity (CKP), then both controllers
would send and receive data at the same time.
Whether the data is meaningful (or dummy data)
depends on the application software. This leads to
three scenarios for data transmission:
Master send s dataSlave sends dummy d ata
Master send s dataSlave sends data
Master sends dummy dataSlave sends data

10.3.5 MASTER MODE
The master can initiate the data transfer at any time
because it controls the SCK. The master determines
when the slave (Processor 2, Figure 10-2) is to
broadcast data by the software protocol.
In Master mode, the data is transmitted/received as
soon as the SSPBUF registe r is written to. If the SPI is
only going to receive, the SDO output could be dis-
abled (programmed as an input). The SSPSR register
will co ntinue to shift in the sign al present on the SDI pin
at the programmed clock rate. As each byte is
received, it will be loaded into the SSPBUF register as
if it is a n orm al re ce iv ed b yte (interrupts and st a t us bits
appropriately set). This could be useful in receiver
applications, such as a “Line Activity Monitor” mode.
The clock polarity is selected by appropriately program-
ming the CKP bi t (SSPCON<4>). This then, would give
waveforms for SPI communication as shown in
Figure 10-3, Figure 10-5 and Figure 10-6, where the
MSB is t rans m itte d f irst. In Master mode, the SPI cl oc k
rate (bit rate) is user programmable to be one of the
following:
•F
OSC/4 (or TCY)
•FOSC/16 (or 4 • TCY)
•F
OSC/64 (or 16 • TCY)
Timer2 output/2
This allows a maximum data rate (at 40 MHz) of
10.00 Mbps.
Figure 10-3 shows the waveforms for Master mode.
When the CKE bit is set, the SDO data is valid before
there is a clock edge on SCK. The change of the input
sample is shown based on the state of the SMP bit. The
time when the SSPBUF is loaded with the received
dat a is shown.

10.3.6 SLAVE MODE
In Slave m ode , the data is transmitted and rece iv ed a s
the external clock pulses appear on SCK. When the
last bit is latched, the SSPIF inte rrupt flag bit is set.
While in Slave mode, the external clock is supplied by
the external clock source on the SCK pin. This external
clock must meet the minimum high and low times, as
specified in the electrical specifications.
While in Sleep mode, the slave can transmit/receive
data. When a byte is received, the device will wake-up
from Sleep.
Before enabling the module in SPI Slave mode, the
clock line must match the proper Idle state. The clock
line can be observed by reading the SCK pin. The Idle
state is determined by the CKP bit (SSPCON1<4>).
10.3.7 SLAVE SELECT
SYNCHRONIZATION
The SS pin allows a Synchronous Slave mode. The
SPI must be in Slave mode wit h SS pin control ena bled
(SSPCON<3:0> = 4h). The pin must not be driven low
for the SS pin to function as an input. The data latch
must be high. When the SS pin is low , tran smission and
receptio n are enab led and the SDO pin is driven. When
the SS pin goes hi gh , th e SD O pin is no lo n ge r dr iv en ,
even if in the middle of a tran smitted byte an d becomes
a floating output. External pull-up/pull-down resistors
may be desirable, depending on the application.
When the SPI module resets, the bit counter is forced
to ‘0’. This can be done by either forcing the SS pin to
a high level or clearing the SSPEN bit.
To emulate two-wire communication, the SDO pin can
be connected to the SDI pin. When the SPI needs to
operate as a receiver, the SDO pin can be configured
as an in put. This d isables transmissi ons from th e SDO.
The SDI can always be left as an input (SDI function)
since it cann ot cre ate a bus con flict.
FIGURE 10-4: SLAVE SYNCHRONIZATION WAVEFORM
Note 1: When the SPI is in Slave mode with SS pin
control enabled ( SSPCON<3:0> = 0100),
the SPI module will reset if the SS pin is set
to VDD.
2: If the SPI is us ed in Slave mo de with CK E
set, then the SS pin control must be
enabled.

10.3.8 SLEEP OPERATION
In Master mode, all module clocks are halted and the
transmission/reception will remain in that state until the
device wakes from Sleep. After the device returns to
normal mode, the module will continue to transmit/
receive data.
In Slave mode, the SPI T ransmit/Receive Shift register
operat es asy nchron ously to the devi ce. Th is al lows the
device to be placed in Sleep mode and data to be
shifted into the SPI Transmit/Receive Shift register.
When all 8 bit s have been received , the MSSP interrupt
flag bit will be set and if enabled, will wake the device
from Sleep.
10.3.9 EFFECTS OF A RESET
A Reset disable s the MSSP module and termina tes the
current transfer.

10.4 I2C Mode
The MSSP module in I2C mode fully implements all
master and slave functions (including general call
support) and provides interrupts on Start and Stop bits
in hardware to determine a free bus (multi-master
function). The MSSP module implements the standard
mode specifications, as well as 7-bit and 10-bit
addressing.
Two pins are used for data transfer:
Serial clock (SCL) – RC3/SCK/SCL
Serial data (SDA) – RC4/SDI/SDA
The user must configure these pins as inputs or output s
through the TRISC<4:3> bits.
FIGURE 10-7: MSSP BLOCK DIAGRAM
(I2C™ MODE)
10.4.1 REGISTERS
The MSSP module has six registers for I2C oper ation .
These are:
MSSP Control Register (SSPCON)
MSSP Control Register 2 (SSPCON2)
MSSP Status Register (SSPSTAT)
Serial Receive/Transmit Buffer (SSPBUF)
MSSP Shift Register (SSPSR) – Not directly
accessible
MSSP Address Register (SSPADD)
SSPCON, SSPCON2 and SSPSTAT are the control
and status registers in I2C mode operation. The
SSPCON and SSPCON2 registers are readable and
writable. The lower 6 bits of the SSPSTAT are
read-only. The upper two bits of the SSPSTAT are
read/write.
SSPSR is the shift register used for shifting data in or
out. SSPBUF is the buffer register to which data bytes
are written to or read from.
SSPADD register holds the slave device address when
the SSP is configured in I2C Slave mode. When the
SSP is configured in Master mode, the lower seven bits
of SSPADD act as the Baud Rate Generator reload
value.
In receive operations, SSPSR and SSPBUF together
create a double-buffered receiver. When SSPSR
receives a complete byte, it is transferred to SSPBUF
and the SSPIF interrupt is set.
During transmission, the SSPBUF is not double-
buff ered. A write to SSPBUF will write to bo th SSPBUF
and SSPSR.

10.4.2 OPERATION
The MSSP module functions are enabled by setting
MSSP enable bit, SSPEN (SSPCON<5>).
The SSPCON register allows control of the I2C opera-
tion. Four mode selection bits (SSPCON<3:0>) allow
one of the following I2C modes to be selected:
•I
2C M a st er mode, cloc k = O s cil la tor /4 (SSPADD + 1 )
•I
2C Slave mode (7-bit address)
•I
2C Slave mode (10-bit address)
•I
2C Slave mode (7-bit address), with Start and
Stop bit interrupts enabled
•I
2C Slave mode (10-bit address), with Start and
Stop bit interrupts enabled
•I
2C Firmware Controlled Master mode, slave is Idle
Selection of any I2C mode, with the SSPEN bit set,
forces the SCL and SDA pins to be open-drain, pro-
vided these pins are programmed to inputs by setting
the appro priate TRISC b its. To ensure pro per operation
of the module, pull-up resistors must be provided
externally to the SCL and SDA pins.
10.4.3 SL AV E MODE
In Slave mod e, the SCL and SDA pin s must be config-
ured as inputs (TRISC<4:3> set). The MSSP module
will override the input state with the output data when
required (sl ave-tran smit ter).
To ensure proper communication of the I2C Slave
mode, the TRIS bits (TRISx [SDA, SCL]) correspond-
ing to the I2C pins must be set to ‘1’. If any TRIS bits
(TRISx<7:0>) of the port containing the I2C pins
(PORTx [SDA, SCL]) are changed in software, during
I2C communication using a Read-Modify-Write
instruction (BSF, BCF), then the I2C mode may stop
functioning properly and I2C communication may
suspend. Do not change any of the TRISx bits (TRIS
bits of the port containing the I2C pins) using the
instruction BSF or BCF during I2C communication. If it
is absolutely necessary to change the TRISx bits
during communication, the following method can be
used:
The I2C Slave m od e h ardware will always ge nera te an
interrupt on an address match. Through the mode
select bits, the user can also choose to interrupt on
Start and Stop bits.
When an add ress is matched, or the data transfer af ter
an add res s mat ch i s rece ived , th e ha rdw are au tom ati-
cally will generate the Acknowledge (ACK) pulse and
load the SSPBUF register with the received value
currently in the SSPSR register.
Any combination of the following conditions will cause
the MSSP module not to give this ACK pulse:
The Buffer Full bit, BF (SSPSTAT<0>), was set
before the transfer was received.
The overflow bi t, SSPOV (SSPCON<6>), was set
before the transfer was received.
In this case, the SSPSR register value is not loaded
into the SSPBUF, but bit SSPIF (PIR1<3>) is set. The
BF bit is cleared by readi ng the SSPBUF register , while
bit SSPOV is cleared through software.
The SCL clock input must have a minimum high and
low fo r pro per op eration. Th e h igh and low times o f th e
I2C specification, as well as the requirement of the
MSSP module, are shown in timing parameter #100
and parameter #101.
10.4.3.1 Addressing
Once the MSSP module has been enabled, it waits for
a S t art conditio n to occur. Follow ing the S t art condi tion,
the 8 bits are shifted in to the SSPSR register . All incom-
ing bits are sampled with the rising edge of the clock
(SCL) line. The value of register SSPSR<7:1> is
compared to the value of the SSPADD register. The
address is compared on the falling edge of the eighth
clock (SCL) pulse. If the addresses match and the BF
and SSPOV bits are clear, the following events occur:
1. The SSPSR register value is loaded into the
SSPBUF register.
2. The Buffer Full bit, BF, is set.
3. An ACK pulse is generated.
4. MSSP Interrupt Flag bit, SSPIF (PIR1<3>), is
set (interrupt is generated if enabled) on the
falling edge of the ninth SCL pulse.

In 10-bit Address mode, two address bytes need to be
received by the slave. The five Most Significant bits
(MSbs) o f the firs t address b yte spec ify if t his is a 1 0-bit
address. Bit R/W (SSPSTAT<2>) must specify a write
so the slave device will receive the second address
byte. For a 10-bit address, the first byte would equal
11110 A9 A8 0’, where ‘A9’ andA8’ are the two
MSbs of the address. The sequence of events for
10-bit address is as follows, with steps 7 through 9 for
the slave-transmitter:
1. Receive first (high) byte of address (bits SSPIF,

10.4.3.2 Reception
When the R/W bit of the address byte is clear and an
address match occurs, the R/W bit of the SSPSTAT
register is cleare d. The re ceived ad dre ss is loa ded in to
the SSPBUF register and the SDA line is held low
(ACK).
When the address byte overflow condition exists, then
the no Ack no w led ge (ACK) pulse is given. An ov erfl ow
condition is defined as either bit BF (SSPSTAT<0>) is
set or bit SSPOV (SSPCON<6>) is set.
An MSSP interrupt is generated for each data transfer
byte. Flag bit, SSPIF (PIR1<3>), must be cleared in
software. The SSPSTAT register is used to determine
the status of the byte.
If SEN is enabled (SSPCON<0> = 1), RC3/SCK/SCL
will be held low (clock stretch) following each data
transfer. The clock must be released by setting bit,
CKP (SSPCON<4>). See Section 10.4.4 “Clock
Stretching” for more detai l.
10.4.3.3 Transmission
When the R/W bit of the incoming address byte is set
and an address match occurs, the R/W bit of the
SSPST A T register is set. The received address is loaded
into the SSPBUF register . The ACK puls e will be sent on
the ninth bit and pin RC3/SCK/SCL is held low regard-
less of SEN (see Section 10.4.4 “Clock Stretching”
for more detail). By stretching the clock, the master will
be unable to asse rt another cl ock pulse u ntil the slave is
done preparing the transmit data. The transmit data
must be loaded into the SSPBUF register, which also
loads the SSPSR register. Then pin RC3/SCK/SCL
should be enabled by setting bit CKP (SSPCON<4>).
The eight data bits are shifted out on the falling edge of
the SCL input. This ensures that the SDA signal is valid
during the SCL high time (Figure 10-9).
The ACK pulse from the master-receiver is latched on
the rising edge of the nin th SCL input pu lse. If the SDA
line is high (not ACK), then the data transfer is com-
plete. In this case, when the ACK is latched by the
slave, the slave logic is reset (resets SSPSTAT regis-
ter) and the slave monitors for another occurrence of
the Start bit. If the SDA line was low (ACK), the next
transmit da ta must be loaded into the SSPBUF r egister .
Again, pin RC3/SCK/SCL must be enabled by setting
bit CKP.
An MSSP interrupt is generated for each data transfer
byte. The SSPIF bit must be cleared in software and
the SSPSTAT register is used to determine the status
of the byte. The SSPIF bit is set on the falling edge of
the ninth clock pulse.

10.4.4 CLOCK STRETCHING
Both 7-bit and 10-bit Slave modes implement
automatic clock stre tch ing during a transmit sequence.
The SEN bit (SSPCON2<0>) al lows clock stretch ing to
be enabled during receives. Setting SEN will cause
the SCL pin to be held low at the end of each data
receive sequence.
10.4.4.1 Clock Stretching for 7-bit Slave
Receive Mo de (SEN = 1)
In 7-bit Slave Receive mode, on the falling edge of the
ninth clock, at the end of the ACK sequence if the BF bit
is set, the CKP bit in the SSPCON register is auto-
matically cleared, forcing the SCL outpu t to be held low.
The CKP being cleared to ‘0’ will assert the SCL line
low. The CKP bit must be set in the users ISR before
reception is allowed to continue. By holding the SCL
line low, the user has time to service the ISR and read
the contents of the SSPBUF before the master device
can initiate another receive sequence. This will prevent
buffer overruns from oc curring (see Figure 10 -13).
10.4.4.2 Clock Stretching for 10-bit Slave
Receive Mo de (SEN = 1)
In 10-bit Slave Receive mode during the address
sequence, clock stretching automatically takes place
but CKP is not c lea red . Duri ng t his time, if th e UA b it i s
set after the ninth clock, clock stretching is initiated.
The UA bit is set after receiving the upper byte of the
10-bit address and following the receive of the second
byte of the 10-bit address, with the R/W bit cleared to
0’. The release of the clock line occurs upon updating
SSPADD. Clock stretching will occur on each data
receive sequence as described in 7-bit mode.
10.4.4.3 Clock Stretching for 7-bit Slave
Transmit Mode
7-bit Sl ave Transmit mode i mplem ent s clo ck str etchin g
by clearing the CKP bit after the falling edge of the
ninth clock, if the BF bit is clear. This occurs
regardless of the state of the SEN bit.
The user’s ISR must set the CKP bit before transmis-
sion is allowed to continue. By holding the SCL line
low, the user has time to service the ISR and load the
contents of the SSPBUF before the master device can
initiate another transmit sequence (see Figure 10-9).
10.4.4.4 Clock Stretching for 10-bit Slave
Transmit Mode
In 10-bit Slave Transmit mode, clock stretching is
controlled during the first two address sequences by
the state of the UA bit, just as it is in 10-bit Slave
Receive mode. The first two addresses are followed
by a third address sequence, which contains the high-
order bits of the 10-bit address and the R/W bit set to
1’. After the third address sequence is performed, the
UA bit is not set, the module is now configured in
Transmit mode and clock stretching is controlled by
the BF flag as in 7-bit Slave Transmit mode (see
Figure 10-11).
Note 1: If the user reads the contents of the
SSPBUF before the falling edge of the
ninth clock, thus clearing the BF bit, the
CKP bit will not be cleared and clock
stretching will not occur.
2: The CKP bit can be set in software
regardless of the state of the BF bit. The
user should be careful to clear the BF bit
in the ISR before the next receive
sequence in order to prevent an overflow
condition.
Note: If the user polls the UA bit and clears it by
updating the SSPADD register before the
falling ed ge of the ni nth c lock oc curs and if
the user hasn’t cleared the BF bit by read-
ing the SSPBUF register before that time,
then the CKP bit will still NOT be asserted
low. Clock stretching on the basis of the
state of the BF bit only occurs during a
data sequence, not an address sequence.
Note 1: If the u ser lo ads the co nten t s of SSPBUF,
setting the BF bit bef ore the falling edge of
the ninth clock, the CKP bit will not be
cleared and clock stretchin g will not occur.
2: The CKP bit can be set in software
regardless of the state of the BF bit.

10.4.4.5 Clock Synchronization
and the CKP Bit
When the CKP bit is cleared, the SCL output is forced
to ‘0’; however, setting the CKP bit will not assert the
SCL output low until the SCL output is already
sampled low. Therefore, the CKP bit will not assert the
SCL line until an external I2C master device has
already asserted the SCL line. The SCL output will
remain low until the CKP bit is set and all other
devices on the I2C bus have deasserted SCL. This
ensures that a write to the CKP bit will not violate the
minimum high time requirement for SCL (see
Figure 10-12).

10.4.5 GENERAL CALL ADDRESS
SUPPORT
The addressing procedure for the I2C bus is such that
the first byte after the Start condition usually
determines which device will be the slave addressed b y
the master. The exception is the general call address
which can address all devices. When this address is
used, all devices should, in theory, respond with an
Acknowledge.
The general call address is one of eight addresses
reserved for specific purposes by the I2C protocol. It
consists of all ‘0’s with R/W = 0.
The general call address is recognized when the
General Call Enable bit (GCEN) is enabled
(SSPCON2<7> set). Following a Start bit detect, 8 bits
are shifted into the SSPSR and the address is
compared against the SSPADD. It is also compared to
the general call address and fixed in hardware.
If the general call address matches, the SSPSR is
transferre d to the S SPBUF, the BF flag bi t is set (ei ghth
bit) and on the falling edg e of the ninth bit (ACK bit), the
SSPIF interrupt flag bit is set.
When the i nterrupt is serviced, the s ou rce f or the int er-
rupt can be checked by reading the contents of the
SSPBUF. The value can be used to determine if the
address was device specific or a general call address.
In 10-bit mode, the SSPADD is required to be updated
for the seco nd half of the addre ss to match an d the UA
bit is set (SSPSTAT<1>). If the general call address is
sampled when the GCEN bit is set and while the slave
is configured in 10-bit Address mode, then the second
half of the address is not necessary, the UA bit will not
be set and the slave will begin receiving data after the
Acknowledge (Figure 10-15).

10.4.6 MASTER MODE
Master mode is enabled by setting and clearing the
appropriate SSPM bits in SSPCON and by setting the
SSPEN bit. In Master mode, the SCL and SDA lines
are manipulated by the MSSP hardware.
Master mode of operation is supported by interrupt
generation on the detection of the Start and Stop
conditions. The Stop (P) and Start (S) bits are cleared
from a Reset or when the MSSP module is disabled.
Control of the I 2C bus may be taken when the P bit is
set or the bus is Idle, with both the S and P bits clear.
In Firmware Controlled Master mode, user code
conducts all I2C bus operations based on Start and
Stop bit conditions.
Once Master mode is enabled, the user has six
options:
1. Assert a Start condition on SDA and SCL.
2. Assert a Repeated Start condition on SDA and
SCL.
3. Write to the SSPBUF register, initiating
transmission of data/address.
4. Configure the I2C port to receive data.
5. Generate an Acknowledge condition at the end
of a received byte of data.
6. Generate a Stop condition on SDA and SCL.
The following events will cause SSP Interrupt Flag bit,
SSPIF, to be set (SSP interrupt if enabled):
Start condition
Stop condition
Data transfer byte transmitted/received
Acknowledge Transmit
Repeated Start

10.4.6.1 I2C Master Mode Operation
The master device generates all of the serial clock
pulses and the S tart and Stop conditions. A transfer is
ended with a Stop condition or with a Repeated Start
condition. Since the Repeated Start condition is also
the beginning of the next serial transfer , the I2C bus will
not be released.
In Master Transmitter mode, serial data is output
through SDA while SCL outputs the serial clock. The
first byte transmitted contains the slave address of the
recei vin g dev ice ( 7 bits) and the Rea d/Writ e (R/W) bit.
In this case, the R/W bit wi ll be lo gic ‘0 . Se ri al da ta is
transmitted 8 bits at a tim e. After each byte is tr ansm it-
ted, an Acknowledge bit is received. Start and Stop
conditions are output to indicate the beginning and the
end of a serial transfer.
In Master Receive mode, the first byte transmitted
contains the slave address of the transmitting device
(7 bits) and the R /W bit. In this cas e, the R/W bit wil l be
logic ‘ 1’. Thus, the first byte transmitted is a 7-bit slave
address followed by a ‘1’ to indicate a receive bit. Serial
data is rece ived via S DA, while SCL o utp uts the se ri al
clock. Se rial dat a is received 8 bit s at a time. Aft er each
byte is received, an Acknowledge bit is transmitted.
Start and Stop conditions indicate the beginning and
end of transmission.
The Baud Rate Generator used for the SPI mode
operation is used to set the SCL clock frequency for
either 100 kHz, 400 kHz or 1 MHz I2C operation. See
Section 10.4.7 “Baud Rate Generator for more
detail.
A typical transmit sequence would go as follows:
1. The user generates a Start condition by setting
the Start enable bit, SEN (SSPCON2<0>).
2. SSPIF is set. The MSSP module will wait the
required Start time before any other operation
takes place.
3. The user loads the SSPBUF with the slave
address to transmit.
4. Address is s hi f ted out the SDA p in un til al l 8 bits
are transmitted.
5. The MSSP module shif t s in the ACK bit from the
slave device and writes its value into the
SSPCON2 register (SSPCON2<6>).
6. The MSSP mo dule g enerate s an interrup t at th e
end of th e ninth c lock cyc le by settin g the SSPIF
bit.
7. The user loads the SSPBUF with eight bits of
data.
8. Data i s sh ifte d out the SD A pin until all 8 bit s a re
transmitted.
9. The MSSP module shif t s in the ACK bit from the
slave device and writes its value into the
SSPCON2 register (SSPCON2<6>).
10. The MSSP modul e gene rates an int errupt a t the
end of th e ninth c lock cyc le by settin g the SSPIF
bit.
11. The user generates a Stop condition by setting
the Stop enable bit, PEN (SSPCON2<2>).
12. Interrupt is ge nerated once the Stop condition i s
complete.

10.4.7 BAUD RATE GENERATOR
In I2C Master mode, the Baud Rate Generator (BRG)
reload value is placed in the lower 7 bits of the
SSPADD register (Figure 10-17). When a write occurs
to SSPBUF, the Baud Rate Generator will automatically
begin counting. The BRG counts down to 0 and stops
until an other re load h as t aken pl ace. Th e BRG c ount i s
decremented twice per instruction cycle (TCY) on the
Q2 and Q4 clocks. In I2C Master mode, the BRG is
reloaded automatically.
Once the given operation is complete (i.e., transmis-
sion of th e last dat a bit is followed by ACK), the int ernal
clock wi ll aut omatica lly st op count ing and t he SCL pin
will rema in in it s last state.
Table 10-3 demonstrates clock rates based on
instruction cycles and the BRG value loaded into
SSPADD.

deasserts the SCL pin (SCL allowed to float high).
When the SCL pin is allowed to float high, the Baud
Rate Generator (BRG) is suspended from counting
until the SCL pin is actually sampled high. When the
SCL pin is sampled high, the Baud Rate Generator is
reloaded with the contents of SSPADD<6:0> and
begins counting. This ensures that the SCL high time
will always be at least one BRG rollover count in the
event that the clock is held low by an external device
(Figure 10-18).

10.4.8 I2C MASTER MODE START
CONDITION TIMING
To initiate a Start condition, the user sets the Start
Condition Ena ble bi t, SEN (SSPCON2< 0>). If th e SDA
and SCL pins are sampled high, the Baud Rate
Generator is reloaded with the contents of
SSPADD<6: 0> and st arts it s count . If SCL an d SDA are
both sampled high when the Baud Rate Generator
times out (TBRG), the SDA pin is driven low. The action
of the SDA being driven low while SCL is high is the
Start condition and causes the S bit (SSPSTAT<3>) to
be set. Following this, the Baud Rate Generator is
reloaded with the contents of SSPADD<6:0> and
resumes its count. When the Baud Rate Generator
times out (TBRG), the SEN bit (SSPCON2<0>) will be
automatically cleared by hardware, the Baud Rate
Generat or is susp ended , leavin g the SDA line hel d low
and the Start condition is complete.
10.4.8.1 WCOL Status Flag
If the user writes the SSPBUF when a Start sequence
is in progress, the WCOL is set and the contents of the
buffer are unchanged (the write doesn’t occur).
FIGURE 10-19: FIRST START BIT TIMING
Note: If at the beginning of the Start condition,
the SDA and SCL pins are already sam-

the Bus Collision Interrupt Flag, BCLIF, is
set, the Start condition is aborted and the
I2C module is reset into its Idle state.
Note: Because queueing of events is not

10.4.9 I2C MASTER MODE REP EA TED
START CONDITION TIMING
A Repeated Start condition occurs when the RSEN bit
(SSPCON2<1>) is programmed high and the I2C logic
module is in the Idle state. When the RSEN bit is set,
the SCL pin is asserted low. When the SCL pin is
sampled low, the Baud Rate Generator is loaded with
the contents of SSPADD<5:0> and begins counting.
The SDA pin is released (brought high) for one Baud
Rate Generator count (TBRG). When the Baud Rate
Generator times out, if SDA is sampled high, the SCL
pin will be deasserted (brought high). When SCL is
sampled high, the Baud Rate Generator is reloaded
with the contents of SSPADD<6:0> and begins count-
ing. SDA and SCL mu st be sampled high for one TBRG.
This ac tion is the n followed by assertio n of the SDA pin
(SDA = 0) for one TBRG while SCL is high. Following
this, the RSEN bit (SSPCON2<1>) will be automatically
cleared and the Baud Rate Generator will not be
reloaded, leaving the SDA pin held lo w. As soon as a
Start condition is detected on the SDA and SCL pins,
the S bit (SSPSTAT<3>) will be set. The SSPIF bit will
not be set until the Baud Rate Generator has timed out.
Immediately following the SSPIF bit getting set, the
user may write the SSPBUF with the 7-bit address in
7-bit mode or the default first address in 10-bit mode.
After the first eight bits are transmitted and an ACK is
received, the user may then transmit an additional eight
bits of address (10-bit mode) or eight bits of data (7-bit
mode).
10.4.9.1 WCOL Status Flag
If the user writes the SSPBUF when a Repeated Start
sequence is in progress, the WCOL is set and the
contents of the buf fer are un ch anged (th e write doesn ’t
occur).

10.4.10 I2C MASTER MODE
TRANSMISSION
Transmission of a data byte, a 7-bit address or the
other half of a 10-bit address, is accomplished by
simply writing a value to the SSPBUF register. This
action will set the Buffer Full flag bit, BF and allow the
Baud Rate Generator to begin counting and start the
next transmission. Each bit of address/data will be
shifted out onto the SDA pin after the falling edge of
SCL is asserted (see data hold time specification
parameter #106). SCL is held low for one Baud Rate
Generator rollover count (TBRG). Data should be valid
before SCL is released high (see data setup time
specification parameter #107). When the SCL pin is
release d hi gh , it is hel d that way for TBRG. The data on
the SDA pin must remain stable for that duration and
some ho ld time afte r the nex t falling e dge of SC L. Af ter
the eigh th bit is shif ted out (the falling edg e of the eighth
cloc k), the BF f lag is cle ared an d th e master releases
SDA. This allows the slave device being addressed to
respond with an ACK bit, during the ninth bit time, if an
address match occurred or if data was received
properly. The status of ACK is written into the ACKDT
bit on the falling edge of the ninth clock. If the master
receive s an Ack now ledge, the Acknow ledg e Status bi t,
ACKSTAT, is cleared. If no t, the bit is set. After t he ninth
clock, the SSPIF bit is set and the master clock (Baud
Rate Generator) is suspended until the next data byte
is loaded into the SSPBUF, leaving SCL low and SDA
unchanged (Figure 10-21).
After the write to the SSPBUF, each bit of address will
be shifted out on the fall ing edge of SC L un til a ll s eve n
address bits and the R/W bit are completed. On the
falling edge of the ei ghth clock , the master wil l deassert
the SDA pin, allowing the slave to respond with an
Acknowledge. On th e falling edge o f the ninth clock, the
master will sample the SDA pin to see if the address
was rec ognized by a sla ve. The st atus of the ACK bit is
loaded into the ACKSTAT status bit (SSPCON2<6>).
Following the falli ng edge of the ninth clock transmis-
sion of the address, the SSPIF is set, The BF flag Is
cleared and th e Baud Ra te Genera tor is t urned o ff until
another write to the SSPBUF takes place, ho ldi ng SCL
low and allowing SDA to float.
10.4.10.1 BF Status Flag
In Transmit mode, the BF bit (SSPSTAT<0>) is set
when the CPU writes to SSPBUF and is cleared when
all 8 bits are shifted out.
10.4.10.2 WCOL Status Flag
If the user writes the SSPBUF when a transmit is
already in progress (i.e., SSPSR is still shifting out a
data byte), the WCOL is set and the contents of the
buffer are unchanged (the write doesn’t occur).
WCOL must be cleared in software.
10.4.10.3 ACKSTAT Status Flag
In T ran smit mod e, the ACKSTAT bit (SSPCON2<6>) is
cleared when the slave has sent an Acknowledge
(ACK =0) and is set when the slav e does not Acknowl-
edge (ACK =1). A slave sends an Acknowledge when
it has recognized its address (including a general call)
or when the slave has properly received its data.
10.4.11 I2C MASTER MODE RECEP TION
Master mode recepti on is enabl ed by pro grammin g th e
Receive Enable bit, RCEN (SSPCON2<3>).
The Baud Rate Generator begins counting and on each
rollove r, the st a te of the SC L pin ch ang es (high -to-l ow /
low-to-high) and data is shifted into the SSPSR. After
the falling edge of the eighth clock, the receive enable
flag is automatically cleared, the contents of the
SSPSR are loaded into the SSPBUF, the BF flag bit is
set, the SSPIF flag bi t is set and the Baud Ra te Gener-
ator is s uspen ded from countin g, hold ing SC L low. The
MSSP is now in Idle st ate, awaiti ng the next comm and.
When the buffer is read by the CPU, the BF flag bit is
automatically cleared. The user can then send an
Acknowledge bit at the end of reception by setting the
Acknowledge Sequence Enable bit, ACKEN
(SSPCON2<4>).
10.4.11.1 BF Status Flag
In receiv e op eration, the BF bit is s et whe n an add r es s
or data byte is loaded into SSPBUF from SSPSR. It is
cleared when the SSPBUF register is read.
10.4.11.2 SSPOV Status Flag
In receive operation, the SSPOV bit is set when 8 bits
are received into the SSPSR and the BF flag bit is
already set from a previous reception.
10.4.11.3 WCOL Status Flag
If the user writes the SSPBUF when a receive is
already in progress (i.e., SSPSR is still shifting in a dat a
byte), th e WCOL bi t is set an d the conte nts of th e buffer
are unchanged (the write doesn’t occur).
Note: The MSSP module must be in an Idle state
before the RCEN bit is set or t he RCEN bit
will be disregarded.

10.4.12 ACKNOWLEDGE SEQUENCE
TIMING
An Acknowledge sequence is enabled by setting the
Acknowledge Sequence Enable bit, ACKEN
(SSPCON2<4>). When this bit is set, the SCL pin is
pulled low and the contents of the Acknowledge data bit
are presented on the SDA pin. If the use r wishes to gen-
erate an Acknowledge, then the ACKDT bit should be
cleared. If not, the user should set the ACKDT bit before
starting an Acknowledge sequence. The Baud Rate
Generator then counts for one rollover period (TBRG)
and the SCL pin is deasserted (pulled high). When the
SCL pin is sampled high (clock arbitration), the Baud
Rate Generator counts for TBRG. The SCL pin is then
pulled low . Following this, the ACKEN bit is automatically
cleared, the Baud Rate Generator is turned off and the
MSSP module then goes into Idle mode (Figure 10-23).
10.4.12.1 WCOL Status Flag
If the user writes the SSPBUF when an Acknowledge
sequence is in progress, then WCOL is set and the
contents of the buf fer are un chang ed (th e write doe sn ’t

10.4.13 STOP CONDITION TIMING
A Stop bit is asserted on the SDA pin at the end of a
receive/transmit by setting the Stop Sequence Enable
bit, PEN (SSPCON2<2>). At the end of a receive/
transmit, the SCL line is held low after the falling edge
of the ninth clock. When the PEN bit is set, the master
will assert the SDA line low. When the SDA line is
sample d low , th e Baud Rate G enerator is re loaded an d
counts down to0’. 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 deass erted. Wh en the SDA pin is sam-
pled hi gh whil e SCL is high, the P bi t (SSPSTAT<4>) is
set. A TBRG la ter, the PEN bit is c leared and the SSPIF
bit is set (Figure 10-24).

10.4.14 SLEEP OPERATION
While in Sleep mode, the I2C module can receive
addresses or data and when an address match or
complete byte transfer occurs, wake the processor
from Sleep (if the MSSP interrupt is enabled).
10.4.15 EFFECT OF A RESET
A Reset disable s the MSSP module and termina tes the
current transfer.
10.4.16 MULTI-M AST ER MODE
In Multi-Master mode, the interrupt generation on the
detection of the Start and Stop conditions allows the
deter mination of when the bus i s free. The S top (P) and
Start (S) bits are cleared from a Reset or when the
MSSP module is disabled. Control of the I2C bus may
be taken when the P bit (SSPSTAT<4>) is set or the
bus is Idle, with both the S and P bits clear. When the
bus is busy, enabling the 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 at
the expected output level. This check is performed in
hardware with the result placed in the BCLIF bit.
The states where arbitration can be lost are:
Address Transfer
Data Transfer
A Start Condition
A Repeated Start Condition
An Acknowledge Condition
10.4.17 MULTI-MASTER COMMUNICATION,
BUS COLLISION AND BUS
ARBITRATION
Multi-Master mode support is achieved by bus arbitra-
tion. When the master outputs address/data bits onto
the SDA pin, arbitration takes place when the master
outputs a ‘1’ on SDA by letting SDA float high and
another ma ste r assert s a ‘0’. When the SCL pin floats
high, data should be stable. If the expected data on
SDA is a1’ and the da t a s am ple d on th e SDA pin = 0,
then a bus collision has taken place. The master will set
the Bus Collision Interrupt Flag, BCLIF and reset the
I2C port to its Idle state (Figure 10-25).
If a transmit was in progress when the bus collision
occurred, the transmission is halted, the BF flag is
cleared, the SDA and SCL lines are deasserted and the
SSPBUF can b e written to. When the us er servic es th e
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 condi-
tion was in progress when the bus collision occurred,
the condition is aborted, the SDA and SCL lines are
deasserted and the respective control bits in the
SSPCON2 register are cleared. When the user
servic es the b us collis ion Interru pt 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 . I f a Stop c on d iti o n occ urs , th e SSPIF bit will be s e t.
A write to the SSPBUF will start the transmission of
data at the first data bit, regardless of where the
transmitter left off when the bus collision occurred.
In Multi-Master mode, the interrupt generation on the
detec tion of S t art and S to p conditio ns allows the determi -
nation of when the bus is fr ee. Contro l of the I2C bus can
be t aken when the P bit is set in the SSPSTAT registe r or
the bu s is Idle and th e S an d P b its are cle are d.

10.4.17.1 Bus Collision During a Start
Condition
During a Start condition, a bus collision occurs if:
a) SDA o r SCL are sampl ed low at the b eginning of
the Start condition (Figure 10-26).
b) SCL is s am pl ed l ow be fore SD A is asserted low
(Figure 10-27).
During a Start condition, both the SDA and the SCL
pins are monitored.
If the SDA pin is already low, or the SCL pin is already
low, then all of the following occur:
the Start condition is aborted,
the BCLIF flag is set and
the MSSP module is reset to its Idle state
(Figure 10-26).
The Start condition begins with the SDA and SCL pins
deasserted. When the SDA pin is sampled high, the
Baud Rate Generator is loaded from SSPADD<6:0>
and counts down to 0. If the SCL pin is sampled low
while SDA is high, a bus collision occurs because it is
assumed that another master is attempting to drive a
data ‘ 1’ during the Start condition.
If the SDA pin is sampled low during this count, the
BRG is reset and the SDA line is asserted early
(Figure 10-28). If, h owever, a ‘1’ is sampled on the SDA
pin, the SD A pin is asser ted low at the end of the BRG
count. The Baud Rate Generator is then reloaded and
count s dow n to 0 an d dur ing this tim e, if the SCL pin i s
sampled as ‘0’, a bus collision does not occur. At the
end of t he BRG co unt , the SCL pin is a ss erte d lo w.
FIGURE 10-26: BUS COLLISION DURING START CONDITION (SDA ONLY)
Note: The reason that b us collision is not a factor
duri ng a Start cond iti on is that no t wo bus
masters can assert a S tart condition at the
exact same time. Therefore, one master
will always assert SDA before the other.
This condition does not cause a bus
collis ion because the two masters must be
allowed to arbitrate the first address
follow ing the S tar t condit ion. If the addr ess
is the sam e, arbitr ation must be allowed to
continue into the data portion, Repeated
Start or Stop conditions.

10.4.17.2 Bus Collision During a Repeated
Start Condition
During a Repeated Start condition, a bus collision
occu rs if:
a) A low level is sampled on SDA when SCL goes
from low level to high level.
b) SCL goes low before SDA is asserted low,
indicating that another master is attempting to
transmit a data ‘1’.
When the user dea sserts SDA and the pin is a llowed to
float high, the BRG is loaded with SSPADD<6:0> and
counts down to 0. The SCL pin is then deasserted and
when sampled high, the SDA pin is sampled.
If SDA is low, a bus collision ha s occurred (i.e ., another
master is attempting to transmit a data ‘0’, see
Figure 10-29). If SDA is sampled high, the BRG is
reloaded and begins counting. If SDA goes from high-
to-low before the BRG times out, no bus collision
occurs because no two masters can assert SDA at
exactly the same time.
If SCL goes from high-to-low before the BRG times out
and SDA has not already been asserted, a bus collision
occurs. In this case, another master is attempting to
tran smit a data ‘1’ during the Repeated Start condition
(Figure 10-30).
If at the end of the BR G 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 SC L pin is
driven low and the Repeated S tart condition is complete.

10.4.17.3 Bus Collision During a Stop
Condition
Bus collision occurs during a Stop condition if:
a) After the SDA pin has been deasserted and
allowed to float high, SDA is sampled low after
the BRG has timed out.
b) Af ter the SCL pin is deassert ed, SCL is sampled
low before SDA goes high.
The Stop condition begins with SDA asserted low.
When SDA is sampled low, the SCL pin is allowed to
floa t. Wh en t he p in i s sa mpled hig h (c loc k arbi tr atio n),
the Baud R ate Generator is load ed with SSPADD <6:0>
and cou nt s d own to 0. After the BRG times o ut, SDA i s
sampled. If SDA is sampled low, a bus collision has
occurred. This is due to another master attempting to
drive a data ‘0’ (Figure 10-31). If the SCL pin is

11.0 ADDRESSABLE UNIVERSAL
SYNCHRONOUS
ASYNCHRONOUS RECEIVER
TRANSMITTER (AUSART)
The Addressable Universal Synchronous Asynchronous
Receiver Transmitter (AUSART) module is one of the
two serial I/O modules. (AUSART is also known as a
Serial Communications Interface or SCI.) The AUSART
can be configured as a full-duplex asynchronous system
that can communicate with peripheral devices, such as
CRT terminals and personal computers, or it can be
configured as a half-duplex synchronous system that
can communicate with peripheral devices, such as A/D
or D/A integrated circuit s , serial EEPROMs, etc.
The AUSART can be configured in the following
modes:
Asynchronous (full-duplex)
Synchro nous – Master (half-duplex)
Synchronous – Slave (half-duplex)
Bit SPEN (RCSTA<7>) and bits TRISC<7:6> have
to be set in order to configure pins RC6/TX/CK and
RC7/RX/DT as the Universal Synchronous
Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter.
The AUSART module also has a multi-processor
communication capability using 9-bit address detection.

11.1 AUSART Baud Rate Generator
(BRG)
The BRG supports both the Asynchronous and
Synchronous modes of the AUSART. It is a dedicated
8-bit Baud Rate Generator. The SPBRG register
controls the period of a free running 8-bit timer. In
Asynchronous mode, bit BRGH (TXSTA<2>) also
controls the baud rate. In Synchronous mode, bit
BRGH is ignored. Table 11-1 shows the formula for
computation of the baud rate for different AUSART
modes which only apply in Master mode (internal
clock).
Given the desired baud rate and FOSC, the nearest
integer value for the SPBRG register can be calculate d
using the formula in Table 11-1. From this, the error in
baud rate can be determined.
It may be advantageous to use the high baud rate
(BRGH = 1) even for slower baud clocks. This is
becaus e the FOSC/(16(X + 1 )) eq uat ion c an red uce th e
baud rate error in some cases.
Writing a new value to the SPBRG register causes the
BRG timer to be reset (or cleared). This ensures the
BRG does not wait for a timer overflow before
outputting the new baud rate.
11.1.1 SAMPLING
The dat a on the RC7/RX/D T pin is sa mpled three time s
by a majority detect circuit to determine if a high or a
low level is present at the RX pin.

11.2 AUSART Asynchronous Mode
In this mode, the AUSART uses standard Non-Return-
to-Zero (NRZ) format (one Start bit, eight or nine data
bits and one Stop bit). The most common data format
is 8 bits. An on-chip, dedicated, 8-bit Baud Rate
Generator can be used to derive standard baud rate
frequenc ies fr om the osci llator. The AUSART tran smit s
and rece ives the LSb first. Th e transmitter a nd receiv er
are fu nctionally inde pendent but us e the same d ata for-
mat and baud rate. The Baud Rate Gen erator produces
a clock , either x16 or x64 of the bi t shift rate, de pending
on bit BRGH (TXSTA<2>). Parity is not supported by
the hardw are but can be im pleme nted in so ftware (and
stored as the ninth data bit). Asynchronous mode is
stopped during Sleep.
Asynchronous mode is selected by clearing bit, SYNC
(TXSTA<4>).
The AUSART asynchronous module consists of the
following important elements:
Baud Rate Generator
Sampling Circuit
Asynchronous Transmitter
Asynchronous Receiver
11.2.1 AUSART ASYNCHRONOUS
TRANSMITTER
The AUSART transmitter block diagram is shown in
Figure 11-1 . The heart of the tra nsmitter is the T ransmit
(Serial) Shift Regis ter (TSR). The Shi f t regi st er obtains
its data from the Read/Write Transmit Buffer register,
TXREG. The TXREG register is loaded with data in
softw are . Th e TSR re gi st e r is not lo ad e d un ti l t he Stop
bit has been transmitted from the previous load. As
soon as the Stop bit is transmitted, the TSR is loaded
with new data from the TXREG register (if available).
Once the TXR EG register trans fers the dat a to the TSR
register (occurs in one TCY), the TXREG register is
empty and flag bit, TXIF (PIR1<4>), is set. This
interrupt can be enabled/disabled by setting/clearing
enable bit, TXIE (PIE1<4>). Flag bit TXIF will be set
regardless of the state of enable bit TXIE and cannot be
cleared in software. It will reset only when new data is
loaded into the TXREG register. While flag bit TXIF
indica tes th e s t atus of the TXREG regi ste r, ano ther bit,
TRMT (TXSTA<1>), shows the status of the TSR
register. Status bit TRMT is a read- only bit which is set
when the TSR register is empty. No interrupt logic is
tied to thi s b it, s o th e us er h as to po ll t his bi t in o rder to
determine if the TSR register is empty.
Transmission is enabled by setting enable bit, TXEN
(TXSTA<5>). The actual transmission will not occur
until the TXREG register has been loaded with data
and the Baud Rate Generator (BRG) has produced a
shift clock (Figure 11-2). The transmission can also be
started by first loading the TXREG register and then
setting enable bit TXEN. Normally, when transmission
is first started, the TSR register is empty. At that point,
transfer to the TXREG register will result in an immedi-
ate transfer to TSR, resulting in an empty TXREG. A
back-to-back transfer is thus possible (Figure 11-3).
Clearing enable bit TXEN during a transmission will
cause the tra nsm is s ion to be ab orte d and will reset the
transmitter. As a result, the RC6/TX/CK pin will revert
to high-impedance.
In order to select 9-bit transmission, transmit bit, TX9
(TXSTA<6>), should be set and the ninth bit should be
written to TX9D (TXSTA<0>). The ninth bit must be
written before writing the 8-bit data to the TXREG
register. This is because a data write to the TXREG
register can result in an immediate transfer of the data
to the TSR register (if the TSR is empty). In such a
case, an incorrect ninth data bit may be loaded in the
TSR registe r.

When setting up an Asynchronous Transmission,
follow these steps:
1. Initialize th e SPBRG re gis te r for the ap propriate
baud rate. If a high-speed baud rate is desired,
set bit BRGH (see Section 11.1 “AUSART
Baud Rate Generator (BRG)”).
2. Enable the asynchronous serial port by clearing
bit SYNC and setting bit SPEN.
3. If interrupt s are desired, then set enable bit TXIE.
4. If 9-bit transmission is desired, then set transmit
bit TX9.
5. Enable the transmission by setting bit TXEN
which will also set bit TXIF.
6. If 9-bit transmission is selected, the ninth bit
should be loaded in bit TX9D.
7. Load data to the TXREG register (starts
transmission).
8. If using interrupts, ensure that GIE and PEIE
(bits 7 and 6) of the INTCON register are set.

11.2.2 AUSART ASYNCHRONOUS
RECEIVER
The receiver block diagram is shown in Figure 11-4.
The data is received on the R C7/R X/DT pin and dri ve s
the data recovery block. The data recovery block is
actuall y a high-spee d shifter , operating at x16 times th e
baud rate; whereas, the main receive serial shifter
operates at the bit rate or at FOSC.
Once Asynchronous mode is selected, reception is
enabled by setting bit, CREN (RCSTA<4>).
The heart of the receiver is the Receive (Serial) Shift
Register (RSR). After sampling the Stop bit, the
received data in the RSR is transferred to the RCREG
register (if it is empty). If the transfer is complete, flag
bit, R CIF (PIR1<5>), is set. The actual interr upt can be
enabled/disabled by setting/clearing enable bit, RCIE
(PIE1<5>). Flag bit RCIF is a read-only bit which is
cleared by the hardware. It is clea red when the RCREG
register has been read and is empty. The RCREG is a
double-buffered register (i.e., it is a two-deep FIFO). It
is possible for two bytes of data to be received and
transferred to the RCREG FIFO and a third byte to
begin shifting to the RSR register. On the detection of
the Stop bit of the third byte, if the RCREG register is
still full, the Overrun Error bit, OERR (RCSTA<1>), will
be set. The word in the RSR will be lost. The R CREG
register can be read twice to retrieve the two bytes in
the FIFO. Ove rrun bit, OERR, ha s to be clea red in sof t-
ware. Th is is done by re setting the re ceive logi c (CREN
is cleared and then set). If bit OERR is set, transfers
from the RSR register to the RCREG register are inhib-
ited and no further dat a will be rec eived. It is , therefore,
essential to clear error bit OERR if it is set. Framing
Error bit, FERR (RCSTA<2>), is set if a Stop bit is
detected as cle ar. Bit FERR and the 9th re cei ve bit a re
buffered the same way as the receive data. Reading
the RCREG will load bits RX9D and FERR with new
values ; the refo r e, it is ess ent ial for the us er to re ad th e
RCSTA regis ter bef ore read ing the RCREG register in

Baud Rate Generator (BRG)”).
2. Enable the asynchronous serial port by clearing
bit SYNC and setting bit SPEN.
3. If interrupts are desired, then set enable bit
RCIE.
4. If 9-bit reception is desired, then set bit RX9.
5. Enable the reception by setting bit CREN.
6. Flag bit RCIF will be set when reception is
complete and an interrupt will be generated if
enable bi t RCIE is set.
7. Read the RCSTA register to get the ninth bit (if
enabled) and determine if any error occurred
during reception.
8. Read the 8-bit received data by reading the
RCREG register.
9. If any error occurred, clear the error by clearing
enable bit CREN.
10. If using interrupts, ensure that GIE and PEIE
(bits 7 and 6) of the INTCON register are set.

11.3 AUSART Synchronous
Master Mode
In Sync hronous Ma ster mode, the data is trans mitted in
a half-duplex manner (i.e., transmission and reception
do not occur at the sa me time). When tran smitting dat a,
the reception is inhibited and vice versa. Synchronous
mode is entered by setting bit, SYNC (TXSTA<4>). In
additio n, enabl e bit, SPEN (RCSTA<7>), is set in order
to configure the RC6/TX/CK and RC7/RX/DT I/O pins
to CK (clock) and DT (data) lines, respectively. The
Master mode ind icates t hat the process or transmit s th e
master clock on the CK line. The Master mode is
entered by setting bit, CSRC (TXSTA<7>).
11.3.1 AUSART SYNCHRONOUS MASTER
TRANSMISSION
The AUSART transmitter block diagram is shown in
Figure 11-6 . The heart of the tra nsmitter is the T ransmit
(Serial) Shift Regis ter (TSR). The Shi f t regi st er obtains
its data from the Read/Write Transmit Buffer register,
TXREG. The TXREG register is loaded with data in
softw are. The TSR register is not loaded until the last
bit has been transmitted from the previous load. As
soon as the last bit is transmitted, the TSR is loaded
with new data from the TXREG (if available). Once the
TXREG register transfers the data to the TSR register
(occurs in one TCYCLE), the TXR EG is em pty an d inter-
rupt bit, TXIF (PIR1<4>), is set. The interrupt can be
enabled/disabled by setting/clearing enable bit, TXIE
(PIE1<4>). Flag bit TXIF will be set regardless of the
state of enable bit TXIE and cannot be cleared in
soft ware. It wi ll res et onl y when new data is loaded into
the TXREG register. While flag bit TXIF indicates the
status of the TXREG register, another bit, TRMT
(TXSTA<1>), shows the status of the TSR register.
TRMT is a read-only bit which is set when the TSR is
empty. No interrupt logic is tied to this bit so the user
has to poll this bit in order to determine if the TSR
register is empty. The TSR is not mapped in data
memory so it is not available to the user.
Transmission is enabled by setting enable bit, TXEN
(TXSTA<5>). The actual transmission will not occur
until the TXREG register has been loaded with data.
The first dat a bit will be shif ted out on the next av ailable
rising edge of the clock on the CK line. Data out is
stab le around the fal ling edge of the sync hronous cloc k
(Figure 11-9). The transmission can also be started by
first loading the TXREG register and then setting bit
TXEN (Figure 11-10). This is advant ageous when slow
baud rates are selected since the BRG is kept in Reset
when bits TXEN, CREN and SREN are clear. Setting
enable bit TXEN will start the BRG, creating a shift
clock immediately. Normally when transmission is first
started, the TSR register is empty, so a transfer to the
TXREG register will result in an immediate transfer to
TSR, resulting in an empty TXREG. Back-to-back
transfers are possible.
Clearing enable bit TXEN during a transmission will
cause the tra nsm is s ion to be ab orte d and will reset the
transmitter. The DT and CK pins will revert to high-
impeda nce. If ei ther bit C REN or bi t SREN is set durin g
a transmis sion , the transm issi on is abor ted and the DT
pin reverts to a high-impedance state (for a reception).
The CK pin will remain an output if bit CSRC is set
(internal clock). The transmitter logic, however, is not
reset, although it i s disconnected from the pins. In order
to reset the tran sm itte r, th e user has to clear bit TXEN.
If bit SR EN is set (t o interrupt an on-goin g trans mission
and receive a single word) and after the single word is
received, bit SREN will be cleared and the serial port
will re vert back to transmittin g since bit TXEN is still set.
The DT line will immediately switch from High-
Impedan ce R eceiv e mod e to tra nsmit and st art d rivin g.
To avoid this, bit TXEN should be cleared.
In order to select 9-bit transmission, the TX9
(TXSTA<6>) bit should be set and the ninth bit should
be written to bit TX9D (TXSTA<0>). The ninth bit must
be written before writing the 8-bit data to the TXREG
register. This is because a data write to the TXREG can
result in an immediate transfer of the data to the TSR
register (if the TSR is empty). If the TSR was empty and
the TXREG was written before writing the “new” value
to TX9D, the “present” value of bit TX9D is loaded.
Steps to follow when setting up a Synchronous Master
Transmission:
1. Initialize the SPBRG re gister for the appropria te
baud rate (see Section 11.1 “AUSART Baud
Rate Generator (BRG)”).
2. Enable the synchronous master serial port by
setting bits SYNC, SPEN and CSRC.
3. If interrupts are desired, set enable bit TXIE.
4. If 9-bit transmission is desired, set bit TX9.
5. Enable the transmission by setting bit TXEN.
6. If 9-bit transmission is selected, the ninth bit
should be loaded in bit TX9D.
7. S tart transmission by loading data t o the TXREG
register.
8. If using interrupts, ensure that GIE and PEIE
(bits 7 and 6) of the INTCON register are set.

11.3.2 AUSART SYNCHRONOUS MASTER
RECEPTION
Once Synchronous mode is selected, reception is
enabled by setting either enable bit, SREN
(RCST A<5>) or enable bit, CREN (RCSTA<4>). Dat a is
sampled on the RC7/RX/DT pin on the falling edge of
the clock. If enable bit SREN is set, then only a single
word is received. If enable bit CREN is set, the recep-
tion is c ontinuous until CREN is cleared. If bo th bits are
set, CREN takes precedence. After clocking the last bit,
the r eceived data in t he R eceive Sh ift Regist er (RS R)
is transferred to the RCREG register (if it is empty).
When the transfer is complete, interrupt flag bit, RCIF
(PIR1<5 >), is s et. The actual interrupt can be enabled/
disabled by setting/clearing enable bit, RCIE
(PIE1<5>). Flag bit RCIF is a read-only bit which is
reset by the ha rdware . In thi s c as e, it i s r ese t whe n th e
RCREG register has been read and is empty. The
RCREG is a double-buffered register (i.e., it is a two-
deep FIFO). It is possible for two bytes of data to be
received and transferred to the RCREG FIFO and a
third by te to begi n shiftin g into the RSR register. On th e
clocking of the last bit of the third byte, if the RCREG
register is still full, then Overrun Error bit, OERR
(RCSTA<1>), is set. The word in the RSR will be lost.
The RCREG register can be read twice to retrieve the
two bytes in the FIFO. Bit OERR has to be cleared in
software (by clearing bit CREN). If bit OERR is set,
transfers from the RSR to the RCREG are inhibited, so
it is essential to clear bit OERR if it is set. The ninth
receive bit is buffered the same way as the receive
data. Reading the RCREG register will load bit RX9D
with a new value; therefore, it is essential for the user
to read the RCSTA register before reading RCREG in
order not to lose the old RX9D information.
When setting up a Sy nchronous Master Rece ption:
1. Initialize the SPBRG re gister for the appropria te
baud rate (see Section 11.1 “AUSART Baud
Rate Generator (BRG)”).
2. Enable the synchronous master serial port by
setting bits SYNC, SPEN and CSRC.
3. Ensure bits CREN and SREN are clear.
4. If interrupts are desired, then set enable bit
RCIE.
5. If 9-bit reception is desired, then set bit RX9.
6. If a single reception is required, set bit SREN.
For continuous reception, set bit CREN.
7. Interrupt fla g bit RCIF will be se t when receptio n
is complete and an interrupt will be generated if
enable bit RCIE was set.
8. Read the RCSTA register to get the ninth bit (if
enabled) and determine if any error occurred
during reception.
9. Read the 8-bit received data by reading the
RCREG register.
10. If any error occurred, clear the error by clearing
bit CREN.
11. If using interrupts, ensure that GIE and PEIE
(bits 7 and 6) of the INTCON register are set.

11.4 AUSART Synchronous Slave
Mode
Synchronous Slave mode diffe rs from the Master mode
in the fact that the shift clock is supplied externally at
the RC6/TX/ CK pin (instead of being supplied in ternally
in Master mode). This allows the device to transfer or
receive data while in Sleep mode. Slave mode is
entered by clearin g bit, CSRC (TXS TA<7>).
11.4.1 AUSART SYNCHRONOUS SLAVE
TRANSMIT
The operation of the Synchronous Master and Slave
modes is identical, except in the case of Sleep mode .
If two words are written to the TXREG and then the
SLEEP instruction is executed, the following will occur:
a) The first word will immediately transfer to the
TSR register and transmit.
b) The second word will remain in the TXREG
register.
c) Flag bit TXIF will not be set.
d) When the first word has b een sh ifted out of TSR,
the TXREG register will transfer the second word
to the TSR and flag bit TXIF will now be set.
e) If enable bit TXIE is set, the interrupt will wake
the chip from Sleep and if the global interrupt is
enabled , the p rog ram wil l bran ch to the in terrupt
vector (0004h).
When setting up a Synchronous Slave Transmission,
follow these steps:
1. Enable the synchronous slave serial port by
setting bits SYNC and SPEN and clearing bit
CSRC.
2. Clear bits CREN and SREN.
3. If interrupts are desired, then set enable bit
TXIE.
4. If 9-bit transmis si on is des ired , then set bi t TX9.
5. Enable the transmission by setting enable bit
TXEN.
6. If 9-bit transmission is selected, the ninth bit
should be loaded in bit TX9D.
7. S tart transmission by loading data t o the TXREG
register.
8. If using interrupts, ensure that GIE and PEIE
(bits 7 and 6) of the INTCON register are set.

11.4.2 AUSART SYNCHRONOUS SLAVE
RECEPTION
The operation of the Synchronous Master and Slave
modes is identical, except in the case of Sleep mode.
Bit SREN is a “don’t care” in Slave mode.
If receive is enabled by setting bit CREN prior to the
SLEEP inst ruction , then a w ord m ay be rec eived durin g
Sleep. On completely receiving the word, the RSR
register will transfer the data to the RCREG register
and if enabl e bit RCIE bit is set , the interrupt gene rated
will wake the chip from Sleep. If the global interrupt is
enabled , the pro gram w ill branc h to the interru pt vec tor
(0004h).
When setting up a Synchronous Slave Reception,
follow these steps:
1. Enable the synchronous master serial port by
setting bits SYNC and SPEN and clearing bit
CSRC.
2. If interrupts are desired, set enable bit RCIE.
3. If 9-bit reception is desired, set bit RX9.
4. To enable reception, set enable bit CREN.
5. Flag bit RCIF will be set when reception is
complete and an interrupt will be generated if
enable bit RCIE was set.
6. Read the RCSTA register to get the ninth bit (if
enabled) and determine if any error occurred
during reception.
7. Read the 8-bit received data by reading the
RCREG register.
8. If any error occurred, clear the error by clearing
bit CREN.
9. If using interrupts, ensure that GIE and PEIE
(bits 7 and 6) of the INTCON register are set.

12.0 ANALOG-TO-DIGITAL
CONVERTER (A/D) MODULE
The Analog-to-Digital (A/D) Converter module has
11 inputs for the PIC16F737 and PIC16F767 devices
and 14 for the PIC16F747 AND PIC16F777 devices.
The A/D converter allo ws conversion of an analog inp ut
signal to a corresponding 10-bit digital number.
A new feature for the A/D converter is the addition of
programmable acquisition time. This feature allows the
user to select a new channel for conversion and to set
the GO/DONE b it immedia tely. W hen the GO /DONE bit
is set, the selected channel is sampled for the
programmed acquisition time before a conversion is
actually started. This removes the firmware overhead
required to allow for an acquisition (sampling) period
(see Register 12-3 and Section 12.2 “Selecting and
Configuring Automatic Acquisition Time”).
The module has five registers:
A/D Result High Register (ADRESH)
A/D Result Low Register (ADRESL)
A/D Control Register 0 (ADCON0)
A/D Control Register 1 (ADCON1)
A/D Control Register 2 (ADCON2)
The ADCON0 register, shown in Register 12-1, controls
the operation of the A/D module an d clock source. The
ADCON1 register, shown in Register 12-2, configures
the functions of the port pins, justification and voltage
reference sources. The ADCON2, shown in
Register 12-3, configures the programmed acquisition
time.

REGISTER 12-3: ADCON2: A/D CONTROL REGISTER 2 (ADDRESS 9Bh)
The analog reference voltage is software selectable
to either the device’s positive and negative supply
voltage (VDD and VSS) or the voltage level on the
RA3/AN3/VREF+ and RA2/AN2/VREF-/CVREF pins.
The A/D converter has a unique feature of being able
to operate while the device is in Sleep mode. To
operate in Sleep, the A/D conversion clock must be
derived from the A/D’s internal RC oscillator.
The output of the sample and hold is the input into the
converter which generates the result via successive
approximation.
A device Reset forces all registers to thei r Reset state.
This forces the A/D module to be turned off and any
conversion in progress is aborted.
Each port pin associated with the A/D converter can be
configured as an analog input or as a digital I/O. The
ADRESH and ADRESL registers contain the result of
the A/D conversion. When the A/D conversion is com-
plete, the result is loaded into the ADRESH/ADRESL
registers, the GO/DONE bit (ADCON0 register) is
cleared and A/D Interrupt Flag bit, ADIF, is set. Th e block
diagram of the A/D module is s hown in Figure 12-1.

The value in the ADRESH/ADRESL registers is not
modified for a Power-on Reset. The ADRESH/
ADRESL registers will contain unknown data after a
Power-on Reset.
After the A/D module has been configured as desired,
the selected channel must be acquired before the
conversion is started. The analog input channels must
have their corresponding TRIS bits selected as an
input. To determine acquisition time, see Section 12.1
“A/D Acquisition Requirements”. After this acquisi-
tion time has elapsed, the A/D conversion can be
started. An acquisition time can be programmed to
occur bet ween setting th e GO/DONE bit and the actual
start of the conversion.
The following steps should be followed to do an A/D
conversion:
1. Configure the A/D modul e:
Config ure an alog pins, volt age refere nce and
digital I/O (ADCON1)
Select A/D input channel (ADCON0)
Select A/D acquisition time (ADCON2)
Select A/D con ve rsi on clock (ADCON 0)
Turn on A/D module (ADCON0)
2. Configure A/D interrupt (if desired):
Clear ADIF bit
Set ADIE bit
Set PEIE bit
Set GIE bit
3. Wait the required acquisition time (if required).
4. Start conversion:
Set GO/DONE bit (ADCON0 register)
5. Wait for A/D conversion to complete, by either:
Polling for the GO/DONE bit to be cleared
OR
Waiting for the A/D interrupt
6. Read A/D Result registers (ADRESH:ADRESL);
clear bit ADIF (if required).
7. For next conversion, go to step 1 or step 2 as
required. The A/D conversion time per bit is
defined as TAD. A minimum wait of 2 TAD is
required before the next acquisition starts.

12.1 A/D Acquisition Requirements
For the A/D converter to meet its specified accurac y , 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 12-2. The source
impedance (RS) and the internal sampling switch (RSS)
impedance directly affect the time required to charge the
capacitor CHOLD. The sampling switch (RSS) impedance
varies over the device voltage (VDD), see Figure 12-2.
The maximum recommended impedance for analog
sources is 2.5 k. As the impedance is decreas ed, the
acquisition time may be decreased. After the analog
input channel is selected (changed), this acquisition
must be done before the convers ion can be started.
To calculate the minimum acquisition time,
Equation 12-1 may be used. This equation assumes
that 1/2 LS b error is used (1024 st eps for the A/D). The
1/2 LSb er ror is the ma ximu m error allow ed for the A/D
to meet its specified resolution.
To calculate the minimum acquisition time, TACQ, see
the “PIC® Mid-Range MCU Family Reference Manual”
(DS33023).

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 conve rsion.
3: The maximum recommended impedance for analog sources is 10 k. This is required to meet the pin
leakage specification.
4: After a conversion has completed, a 2.0 TAD delay must complete before acquisition can begin again.
During this time, the holding capacitor is not connected to the selected A/D input channel.

12.2 Selecting and Configuring
Auto matic A c q u is ition Time
The ADCON2 register allows the user to select an
acquisition time that occurs each time the GO/DONE
bit is set.
When the GO/DON E bit is set, sampling is stopped an d
a conve rsion begins. Th e user is responsi ble for ens ur-
ing the required acquisition time has passed between
selecting the desired input channel and setting the
GO/DONE bit. This occurs when the ACQT2:ACQT0
bits (ADCON2<5 :3>) remai n in their Re set state (‘000’)
and is compatible with devices that do not offer
progra mmable acqui si tion times .
If desired, the ACQT bits can be set to select a
programmable acquisition time for the A/D module.
When the GO/DONE bit is set, the A/D module con-
tinues to sample the input for the selected acquisition
time, th en automa tically begins a conversio n. Since the
acquis iti on time is programmed, there may be no nee d
to wait for an acquisition time between selecting a
channel and setting the GO/DONE bit.
In either case, when the conversion is completed, the
GO/DONE bit is cleared, the ADIF flag is set and the
A/D begins sampling the currently selected channel
again. If an acquisition time is programmed, there is
nothing to indicate if the acquisition time has ended or
if the conversion has begun.
12.3 Selecting the A/D Conversion
Clock
The A/D conversion time per bit is defined as TAD. The
A/D c onver sion requi res a mini mum 12 TAD pe r 10-bit
conversion. The source of the A/D conversion clock is
software selected. The seven possible options for TAD
are:
•2 T
OSC
•4 TOSC
•8 TOSC
•16 TOSC
•32 TOSC
•64 TOSC
Internal A/D modu le, RC os cil la tor (2-6 s)
For correct A/D conversions, the A/D conversion clock
(TAD) must be selected to ensure a minimum TAD time
of 1.6 s.
Table 12-1 shows the resultant TAD tim es de r ive d f r om
the device operating frequencies and the A/D clock
source selected.
TABLE 12-1: TAD vs. MAXIMUM DEVICE OPERATING FREQUENCIES (ST ANDARD DEVICES (F))

2 TOSC 000 1.25 MHz
4 TOSC 100 2.5 MHz

32 TOSC 010 20 MHz
64 TOSC 110 20 MHz
RC(1,2,3) x11 (Note 1)
Note 1: The RC source has a typical TAD time of 4 s but can vary between 2-6 s.
2: When the device frequencies are greater than 1 MHz, the RC A/D conversion clock source is only
recommended for Sleep operation.
3: For extended voltage devices (LF), please refer to Section 18.0 “Electrical Characteristics”.

12.4 Operation in Power-Managed
Modes
The selection of the automatic acquisition time and
A/D convers ion cl ock is determi ned in p ar t by the cl ock
source and frequency while in a power-managed
mode.
If the A/D is expected to operate while the device is in
a power-managed mode, the ACQT2:ACQT0
(ADCON2<5:3>) and ADCS2:ADCS0 (ADCON1<6>,
ADCON0<7:6>) bits should be updated in accordance
with the power-managed mode clock that will be used.
After the power-managed mode is entered (either of
the pow er-managed Run modes), an A/D a cquisition or
conversion may be started. Once an acquisition or
convers io n is started, the device should continu e to be
clocked by the same power-managed mode clock
sour ce unt il the con ve r si on has been co mpl eted.
If the power-managed mode clock frequency is less
than 1 MHz, the A/D RC clock source should be
selected.
Operation in Sleep mode requires the A/D RC clock to
be sel ected. If bits ACQT2:ACQ T0 are set to 000’ and
a conv er s io n is s tart e d, t h e conv er s io n wi ll b e de la y ed
one instruction cycle to allow execution of the SLEEP
instruction and entry to Sleep mode.
12.5 Configuring Analog Port Pins
The ADCON1, TRISA, TRISB and TRISE registers
control the operation of the A/D port pins. The port pin s
that are desired as analog inputs must have their
corresponding TRIS bits set (input). If the TRIS bit is
cleared (output), the digital output level (VOH or VOL)
will be converted.
The A/D operation is independent of the state of the
CHS2:CHS0 bits and the TRIS bits.
Note 1: When reading the Port register, all pins
configured as analog input channels will
read as cleared (a low level). Pins con-
figured as digital inputs will convert an
analog input. Analog levels on a digitally
configured input will not affect the
conversion accuracy.
2: Analog le vels on any pin that is defined as
a digit al inpu t, but not as an analog inpu t,
may cause the digital input buffer to
consume current that is out of the
device’s specification.

PIC16F7X7
12.6 A/D Conversions
Figure 12-3 shows the operation of the A/D converter
after the GO/DONE bit has been set and the
ACQT2:ACQT0 bits are cleared. A conversion is
started after the following instruction to allow entry into
Sleep mode before the conversion begins.
Figure 12-4 shows the operation of the A/D converter
after the GO/DONE bit has been set, the
ACQT2:ACQT0 bits are set to ‘010’ and a 4 TAD
acquisition time is selected before the conversion
starts.
Clearing the GO/DONE bit during a conversion will
abort the current conversion. The A/D Result register
pair wil l NOT be upda ted w ith th e part ially comple ted
A/D conversion sample. This means the
ADRESH:ADRESL registers will continue to contain
the value of the last completed conversion (or the last
value written to the ADRESH:ADRESL registers).
After the A/D conversion is completed or aborted, a
2T
AD wait is required before the next acquisition ca n be
started. After this wait, acquisition on the selected
channel is automatically started.

12.7 A/D Operation During Sleep
The A/D module can operate during Sleep mode. This
requires that the A/D clock source be set to RC
(ADCS1:ADCS0 = 11). When the RC clock source is
selected, the A/D module waits one instruction cycle
before starting the conversion. This allows the SLEEP
instruction to be executed which eliminates all digital
switchi ng noise fro m the conv ersion. Whe n the conver-
sion i s comple ted, the GO /DONE bit will be cleared and
the result loaded into the ADRESH register. If the A/D
interrupt is enabled, the device will wake-up from
Sleep. If the A/D interrupt is not enabled, the A/D
modul e wil l then be t urned off, alt hough the A DON bi t
will remain set.
When the A/D clock sour ce is anoth er clock optio n (not
RC), a SLEEP instructi on will cause the present conver-
sion t o be aborte d and the A/D mod ule to be turned of f,
though the ADON bit will remain set.
Turning of f the A/D plac es the A/D m odu le in its lowest
current consumption state.
12.8 Effects of a Reset
A device Reset forces all registers to thei r Reset state.
The A/D module is disabled and any conversion in
progress is aborted. All A/D input pins are configured
as analog inputs.
The ADRESH register will contain unknown data after
a Power-on Rese t.
12.9 Use of the CCP Trigger
An A/D convers ion can be st arted by th e “special event
trigger” of the CCP2 module. This requires that the
CCP2M3:CCP2M0 bits (CCP2CON<3:0>) be
programmed as ‘1011’ and that the A/D module is
enabled (ADON bit is set). Wh en the trigger occu rs, the
GO/DONE bit will be set, starting the A/D conversion
and the Timer1 counter will be reset to zero. Timer1 is
reset to au tomatical ly re peat th e A/D acquisi tion p eriod
with minimal software overhead (moving the ADRESH
to the desired location). The appropriate analog input
channel must be selected and an appropriate acquisi-
tion time sh oul d p as s befo re the “sp ec ial even t trigger”
sets the GO/DONE bit (starts a conversion).
If the A/D module is not enabled (ADON is cleared),
then the “special event trigger” will be ignored by the
A/D module but will still reset the Timer1 counter.
TABLE 12-2: SUMMARY OF A/D REGISTERS
Note: For the A/D module to operate in Sleep,
the A/D clock source must be set to RC
(ADCS1:ADCS0 = 11). To perform an A/D
conversion in Sleep, ensure the SLEEP
instruction immediately follows the
instruction that sets the GO/DONE bit.

13.0 COMPARATOR MODULE
The comparator module contains two analog com-
parators. The inputs to the comparators are
multipl ex ed w ith I/O po rt pins , RA0 throu gh R A3, w hil e
the outputs are multiplexed to pins RA4 and RA5. The
on-chip volt age re ferenc e (Section 14. 0 “Comp a rator
Voltage Reference Module) can also be an input to
the comparat ors.
The CMCON register (Register 13-1) controls the
comparator input and output multiplexers. A block
diagram of the various comparator configurations is
shown in Figure 13-1.

13.1 Comparator Configuration
There are eight modes of operation for the compara-
tors. The CMCON register is used to select these
modes. Figure 13-1 shows the eight possible modes.
The TRISA register controls the data direction of the
comparator pins for each mode. If the Comparator
mode is changed, the comp arator output leve l ma y n ot
be valid for the specified mode change delay shown in
the electrical specifications (Section 18.0 “Electrical
Characteristics”).

13.2 Comparator Operation
A single comparator is shown in Figure 13-2, along wi th
the relationship between the analog input levels and
the digit al ou tput. When the an alog input a t VIN+ is les s
than the analog input VIN-, the outp ut of the co mparator
is a digital low level. When the analog input at VIN+ is
greater than the analog input VIN-, the output of the
comparator is a digital hi gh level. The shaded areas of
the output of the comparator in Figure 13-2 represent
the uncertainty due to input offsets and response time.
13.3 Comparator Reference
An external or internal reference signal may be used
depending on the comparator operating mode. The
analog signal present at VIN- is compar ed to the signal
at VIN+ and the digital output of the comparator is
adjusted accordingl y (Figure 13-2) .
FIGURE 13-2: SINGLE COMPARATOR
13.3.1 EXTERN AL REFE REN C E SIGNA L
When external voltage references are used, the
comparator module can be configured to have the com-
parators operate from the same or different reference
sour ces. How ever , th resho ld detecto r applica tions ma y
require th e s am e re fere nc e. Th e re fere nc e s ignal m us t
be between VSS and VDD and can be applied to either
pin of the comparator(s).
13.3.2 INTERNAL REFERENCE SIGNAL
The com p arator module al so al low s th e sel ec tion of an
internally generated voltage reference for the compar-
ators. Section 14.0 “Comparator Voltage Reference
Module” contains a detailed description of the com-
parator voltage reference module that provides this
signal. The internal reference signal is used when
comparators are in mo de CM<2:0> = 110 (Figure 13-1).
In this mode, the internal voltage reference is applied to
the VIN+ pin of both c omparators.
13.4 Comparator Response Time
Response time is the minimum time after selecting a
new reference voltage, or input source, before the
comparator output has a valid level. If the internal
reference is changed, the maximum delay of the inter-
nal voltage reference must be considered when using
the comparator outputs. Otherwise, the maximum
delay of the comparators should be used (Section 18.0
“Electrical Characteristics”).
13.5 Comparator Outputs
The comparator outputs are read through the CMCON
register. These bits are read-only. The comparator
output s may al so be dire ctly output to the RA4 and RA5
I/O pins . When enab led, multipl exors in th e output p ath
of the RA4 and RA5 pins will switch and the output of
each pin will be the unsynchronized output of the
comparator. The uncertainty of each of the
comparators is related to the input offset voltage and
the response time given in the specifications.
Figure 13-3 shows the comparator output block
diagram.
The TRISA bits will still function as an output enable/
disable for the RA4 and RA5 pins while in this mode.
The polarity of the comparator outputs can be changed
using the C2INV and C1INV bits (CMCON<5:4:>).

2: Analog levels on any pin defined as a
digital inpu t may cau se the in put bu ffer to

3: RA4 is an open collector I/O pin. When

FIGURE 13-3: COMPARATOR OUTPUT BLOCK DIAGRAM
13.6 Comparator Interrupts
The comparator interrupt flag is set whenever there is
a change in the output value of either comparator.
Software will need to maintain information about the
stat us of the output b its, as rea d from CMCON<7:6> , to
determine the actual change that occurred. The CMIF
bit (PIR2 register) is the Comparator Interrupt Flag. The
CMIF bit must be reset by clearing it (‘0’). Since it is
also possible to write a ‘1 to this register, a simulated
interrupt may be initiated.
The CMIE bit (PIE2 register) and the PEIE bit (INTCON
register ) must be set to enable the interrupt. In additio n,
the GIE bit must also be set. If any of these bits are
clear, the interrupt is not enabled, though the CMIF bit
will still be set if an interrupt condition occurs.
The user , in the Interrupt Service Routine, can clear the
interrupt in the following manner:
a) Any read or write of CMCON will end the
mismatch condition.
b) Clear flag bit CMIF.
A mismatc h co ndi tio n will co nti nue to set fla g bit CMIF.
Reading CMCON will end the mismatch condition and
allow flag bit CMIF to be cleared.

13.7 Comparator Operation
During Sleep
When a comparator is active and the device is placed
in Sleep mode, the comparator remains active and the
interrupt is functional if enabled. This interrupt will
wake-up the device from Sleep mode when enabled.
While the comparator is powered up, higher Sleep
currents than shown in the power-down current
specification will occur. Each operational comparator
will consume additional current as shown in the com-
parat or specifi cations. To minimiz e power co nsumption
while in Sleep mode, turn off the comparators
(CM<2:0> = 111) before entering Sleep. If the device
wakes up from Sleep, the contents of the CMCON
register are not affected.
13.8 Effects of a Reset
A device Reset forces the CMCON register to its Reset
state, causing the comparator module to be in the
Comparator Off mode, CM<2:0> = 111. This ensures
compatibility to the PIC16F87X devices.
13.9 Analog Input Connection
Considerations
A simplified circuit for an analog input is shown in
Figure 13-4. Since the analog pins are connected to a
digital output, they have reverse biased diodes to VDD
and VSS. Th e analog input, th erefore, must be betw een
VSS and VDD. If the input voltage deviates from this
range by more than 0.6V in either direction, one of the
diodes is forward biased and a latch-up condition may
occur. A maximum source impedance of 10 k is
recommended for the analog sources. Any external
component connected to an analog input pin, such as
a capacitor or a Zener diode, should have very little
leakage current.

14.0 COMPARATOR VOLTAGE
REFERENC E MODULE
The comparator voltage reference generator is a 16-tap
resistor ladder network that provides a fixed voltage
reference when the comparators are in mode ‘110’. A
programmable register controls the function of the
reference generator . Register 14-1 lists the bit functions
of the CVRCON register.
As shown in Figure 14-1, the resistor ladder is seg-
mented to provide tw o ranges of C VREF values and has
a power-down function to conserve power when the
reference is not bein g used. The comp arat or refer ence
supply voltage (also referred to as CVRSRC) comes
directly from VDD. It should b e noted, h owever, that th e
voltage at the top of the ladder is CVRSRC – VSAT,
where VSAT is the saturation voltage of the power
switch transistor. This reference will only be as
accurate as the values of CVRSRC and VSAT.
The output of the reference generator may be
connected to the RA2/AN2/VREF-/CVREF pin. This can
be us ed as a simp le D/A fun ction by the us er if a ve ry
high-impedance load is used. The primary purpose of
this function is to provide a test path for testing the
reference generator function.

15.0 SPECIAL FEATURES OF
THE CPU
These devices have a host of features intended to
maximize sys tem reliability, minimize cost through elimi-
nation of external components, provide power-saving
operating modes and offer code protection:
Reset
- Power-o n Reset (POR)
- Power-up Timer (PWRT)
- Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST)
- Brown-out Reset (BOR)
- Low-Voltage Detect (LVD)
Interrupts
Watchdog Timer (WDT)
Two-Speed Start-up
Fail-Safe Clock Monitor
Sleep
Code Protection
ID Locations
In-Circuit Serial Programming
There are two timers that offer necessary delays on
power-up. One is the Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST),
intended to keep the chip in Reset until the crystal
oscillator is stable. The other is the Power-up Timer
(PWRT) which provides a fixed delay of 72 ms
(nominal) on power-up only. It is designed to keep the
part in Reset while the power supply stabilizes and is
enabled or disabled using a configuration bit. With
these two timers on-chip, most applications need no
external Reset circuitry.
Sleep mode is designed to offer a very low-current
power-down mode. The user can wake-up from Sleep
through external Reset, Watchdog Timer wake-up or
through an interrupt.
Several oscillator options are also made available to
allow the part to fit the application. The RC oscillator
option saves system cost while the LP crystal option
saves power. Configuration bits are used to select the
desired oscillator mode.
Additional information on special features is available
in the “PIC® Mid-Range MCU Family Reference Man-
ual” (DS33023).
15.1 Configuration Bits
The con figuration bit s can be programme d (read as 0’)
or left unprogrammed (read as ‘1) to select various
device configurations. These bits are mapped in
program memory locations 2007h and 2008h.
The user will note that address 2007h is beyond the
user program memory space which can be accessed
only during programming.

15.2 Reset
The PIC16F7X7 dif ferentiates between various kinds of
Reset:
Power-on Reset (POR)
•MCLR
Reset during normal operation
•MCLR
Reset during Sleep
WDT Reset during normal operation
WDT Wake-up during Sleep
Brown-out Reset (BOR)
Some regi sters a re not af fected in any Rese t condit ion.
Their st atus is unknown on POR and unchange d in an y
other Reset. Most other registers are reset to a “Reset
state” on Power-on Reset (POR), on the MCLR and
WDT Reset, on MCL R R ese t du ring Sle ep a nd Brown-
out Reset (BOR). They are not affected by a WDT
wake-up which is viewed as the resumption of normal
operation. The TO and PD bits are set or cleared
differently in different Reset situations, as indicated in
Table 15-3. These bits are used in software to
determine the nature of the Reset. Upon a POR, BOR
or wake-up from Sleep, the CPU requires approxi-
mately 5-10 s to become ready for code execution.
This delay runs in parallel with any other timers. See
Table 15-4 for a full description of Reset states of all
registers.

15.3 MCLR
PIC16F7X7 devices have a noise filter in the MCLR
Reset path. This filter will detect and ignore small
pulses.
It should be noted that a WDT Reset does not drive
MCLR pin low.
The behavior of the ESD protection on the MCLR pin
has been altered from previous devices of this family.
Volta ges app lied to the pin th at exce ed it s s pecif icatio n
can result in both MCLR and excessive current, beyond
the devic e specifi cation, during the ESD event. For this
reason, Microchip recommends that the MCLR pin no
longer be tied directly to VDD. The use of an
RC network, as shown in Figure 15-2, is suggested.
The MCLR/VPP/RE3 pin can be configured for MCLR
(default) or as an input pin (RE3). This is configured
through the MCLRE bit in Configuration Word
Register 1.
FIGURE 15-2: RECOMMENDED MCLR
CIRCUIT
15.4 Power-on Reset (POR)
A Power-on Reset pulse is generated on-chip when
VDD rise is detected (in the rang e of 1.2V -1.7V). To take
advantage of the POR, tie the MCLR pin to VDD as
described in Section 15.3 “MCLR. A maximum rise
time fo r VDD is spec ified. Se e Section 18.0 “Electr ical
Characteristics” for details.
When the device starts normal operation (exits the
Reset condition), device operating parameters (volt-
age, fr equency, temp erature, ...) must be met to ensure
operation. If these conditions are not met, the device
must be held in Reset until the operating conditions are
met. For more information, see Application Note
AN607 “Power-up Trouble Shooting (DS00607).
15.5 Power-up Timer (PWRT)
The Power-up Timer (PWRT) of the PIC16F7X7 is a
counter that uses the INTRC oscillator as the clock
input. This yields a count of 72 ms. While the PWRT is
counting, the device is held in Reset.
The power-up time delay depends on the INTRC and
will vary from chip-to-chip due to temperature and
process variation. See DC parameter #33 for details.
The PWRT is enabled by clearing configuration bit
PWRTEN.
15.6 Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST)
The Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) provides a 1024
oscillator cycle (from OSC1 input) delay after the
PWRT delay is over (if enabled). This helps to ensure
that the crystal oscillator or resonator has started and
stabilized.
The OST time-out is invoked only for XT, LP and HS
modes and only on Power-on Reset or wake-up from
Sleep.
15.7 Brown-out Reset (BOR)
Three c onfigurati on bit s (BOREN – Confi guration Word
Register 1, bit 6; BORSEN – Configuration Word
Register 2, bit 6; SBOREN – PCON register, bit 2)
together di sable or enable the Brown-out Reset circuit
in one of its three operating modes.
If VDD falls below VBOR (defined by BORV<1:0> bits in
Configuration Word Register 1) for longer than TBOR
(param eter #3 5, abou t 100 s), the brown-ou t situa tion
will reset the device. If VDD falls below VBOR for less
than TBOR, a Reset may not occur.
Once the brown-out occurs, the device will remain in
Brown-out Reset until VDD rises above VBOR. The
Power-up Timer (if enabled) will keep the device in
Reset for TPWRT (parameter #33, about 72 ms). If VDD
should fall below VBOR during TPWRT, the Brown-out
Reset process will restart when VDD rises above VBOR
with the Power-up Timer Reset. Unlike previous PIC16
devices, the PWRT is no longer automatically enabled
when the Brown-out Reset circuit is enabled. The
PWRTEN and BOREN configuration bits are
independent of each other.

15.8 Low-Voltage Detect
In many applications, the ability to determine if the
device voltage (VDD) is below a specified voltage level
is a desirable feature. A window of operation for the
application can be created where the application
software can do “housekeeping tasks” before the
device voltage exits the valid operating range. This can
be done using the Low-Voltage Detect module.
This module is a software programmable circuitry
where a device voltage trip point can be specified.
When the v oltage of the device be comes lower then the
specif ied poin t, an inter rupt flag is set. If the interrupt is
enabled, the program execution will branch to the
interrupt vector address and the software can then
respond to that interrupt source.
The Low-Voltage Detect circuitry is completely under
softw are control. This allows the circuitry to be turned
off by the software which minimizes the current
consum pt ion for the devic e.
Figure 15-3 s hows a po ssible a pplicati on volt age curv e
(typically for batteries). Over time, the device voltage
decreases. When the device voltage eq uals voltage V A,
the LVD logic generates an interrupt. This occurs at
time TA. The application software then has the time,
until the device voltage is no longer in valid operating
range, to shut-down the sys tem. Voltag e point VB is the
minimum valid operating voltage specification. This
occur s at ti me TB. The difference, TB – TA, is the total
time for shutdown.
The block diagram for the LVD module is shown in
Figure 15-4. A comparator uses an internally gener-
ated reference voltage as the set point. When the
selected tap output of the device voltage crosses the
set point (is lower than ), the LVDIF bit is set.
Each node in the resistor divider represents a “trip
point” voltage. The “trip point” voltage is the minimum
supply voltage level at which the device can operate
before t he LVD module asserts an in terrupt. W hen the
supply voltage is equal to the trip point, the voltage
tapped off of the resistor array is equal to the 1.2V
internal reference voltage generated by the voltage
reference module. The comparator then generates an
interrupt signal setting the LVDIF bit. This voltage is
software programmable to any one of 16 values (see
Figure 15-4) . T h e t r i p po i n t is selec te d by p r o g ramming
the LVDL3:LVDL0 bits (LVDCON<3:0>).

FIGURE 15-4: LOW-VOLTAGE DETECT (LVD) BLOCK DIAGRAM
The LVD module has an additional feature that allows
the user to supply the sense voltage to the module
from an external source. This mode is enabled when
bits LVDL3:LVDL0 are set to ‘1111’. In this state, the
comp a rator input is mult ipl ex ed from the ext erna l inp ut
pin, LVDIN (Figure 15-5). This gives users flexibility
because it allows them to configure the Low-Voltage
Detect interrupt to occur at any voltage in the valid
operating range.

15.10 Operation
Depen ding on the power s our ce for th e devi ce vol tag e,
the voltage normally decreases relatively slowly. This
means that the LVD module does not need to be
constantly operating. To decrease the current require-
ments, the LVD circuitry only needs to be enabled for
short peri ods where the voltag e is check ed. After doing
the check, the LVD module may be disabled.
Each tim e that the LVD mo dule i s enab led, th e circ uitr y
requires some time to stabilize. After the circuitry has
stabilized, all status flags may be cleared. The module
will then indicate the proper state of the system.
The following steps are needed to set up the LVD
module:
1. Write the value to the LVDL3:LVDL0 bits
(LVDCON register) which selects the desired
LVD trip point.
2. Ensure that LVD interrupts are disabled (the
LVDIE bit is cleared or t he GIE bit is cleared).
3. Enable the LVD module (set the LVDEN bit in
the LVDCON register).
4. Wait for the LVD module to stabilize (the IRVST
bit to become set).
5. Clear the LVD interrupt flag, which may have
falsely become set, until the LVD module has
stabilized (clear the LVDIF bit).
6. Enable the LV D interru pt (set the LVDIE and th e
GIE bits).
Figure 15-6 shows the typical waveforms that the LVD
module may be used to detect.

15.10.1 REFERENCE VOLTAGE SET POINT
The internal reference voltage of the LVD module may
be used by other internal circuitry (the Programmable
Brown-out Reset). If these circuits are disabled (lower
current consumption), the reference voltage circuit
requires a time to become stable before a low-voltage
condition can be reliably detected. This time is invariant
of system clock speed. This start-up time is specified in
electrical specification parameter #36. The low-voltage
interrupt flag w ill not be enabled until a stable reference
voltage is reached. Refer to the waveform in Figure 15-6.
15.10.2 CURRENT CONSUMPTION
When the module is enabled, the LVD comparator and
voltage divider are enabled and will consume static cur-
rent. The voltage divider can be tapped from multiple
places in the resistor array. Total current consumption,
when enabled, is specified in electrical specification
parameter #D022B.
15.11 Operation During Sleep
When enabled, the LVD circuitry continues to operate
during Sleep. If the device voltage crosses the trip
point, the L VDIF bit will be set and the de vice will wake-
up from Sleep. Device execution will continue from the
inter rupt vecto r address if interru pts h ave been globall y
enabled.
15.12 Effects of a Reset
A device Reset forces all registers to their Reset state.
This forces the LVD module to be turned off.
15.13 Time-out Sequence
On power-up, the time-out sequence is as follows: the
PWRT delay starts (if enabled) when a POR occurs;
then , OST starts co unti ng 1024 o scilla tor cycl es when
PWRT ends (LP, XT, HS); when the OST ends, the
device comes out of Reset.
If MCLR is kept low long enough, all delays will expire.
Bringing MCLR high will begin execution immediately.
This is useful for testing purposes or to synchronize
more than one PIC16F7X7 device operating in parallel.
Table 15-3 shows the Reset conditions for the Status,
PCON and PC registers, while Table 15-4 shows the
Reset conditions for all the registers.
15.14 Power Control/Status Register
(PCON)
The Power C ontrol /S t atu s regis ter, PCON, has two bits
to indicate the type of Reset that last occurred.
Bit 0 is Brown-out Reset status bit, BOR. Bit BOR is
unknown on a Power-on Reset. It must then be set by
the user and checked on subsequent Resets to see if
bit BOR cleared, indicating a Brown-out Reset
occurred. When the Brown-out Reset is disabled, the
state of the BOR bit is unpredictable.
Bit 1 is Po wer-on Reset S ta tus bit, POR. It is cleared on
a Power-on Reset and unaffected otherwise. The user
must set this bit following a Power-on Reset.
Note: If the LVD i s enable d and the BOR modul e
is not enabl ed, the band gap will requ ire a
start -up time of no more than 50 s b efo re
the band gap reference is stable. Before
enabling the LVD interrupt, the user
should ensure that the band gap refer ence
voltage is stable by monitoring the IRVST
bit in the LV DCON regis ter. The LVD coul d
cause erroneous interrupts before the
band gap is stable.

15.15 Interrupts
The PIC16 F7X7 ha s up to 17 sources of inte rrupt . The
Interrupt Control register (INTCON) records individual
interrupt requests in flag bits. It also has individual and
global interrupt enable bits.
A Global Interrupt Enable bit, GIE (INTCON<7>),
enables (if set) all unmasked interrupts or disables (if
cleared) all interr upts. When b it GIE is enable d and an
inter rupt’s flag bit and mask bit are s et, the int errupt will
vector immediately. Individual interrupts can be
disabled through their corresponding enable bits in
various registers. Individual interrupt bits are set
regardless of the status of the GIE bit. The GIE bit is
cleared on Reset.
The “return from interrupt” instruction, RETFIE, exits
the int errupt rout ine as well as sets the GIE bit which
re-ena ble s int er rup ts.
The RB0/INT pin interrupt, the RB port change interrupt
and the TMR0 overflow interrupt flags are contained in
the INTCON register.
The peripheral interrupt flags are contained in the
Special Function Register, PIR1. The corresponding
interrupt enable bits are contained in Special Function
Register, PIE1 and the peripheral in terrupt enabl e bit is
contained in S p eci al Functi on R egi ste r, INTCON .
When an interrupt is serviced, the GIE bit is cleared to
disable any further interrupt, the return address is
pushed onto the stack and the PC is loaded with 0004h.
Once in the Interrupt Service Routine, the source(s) of
the interrupt can be determined by polling the interrupt
flag bits. The interrupt flag bit(s) must be cleared in
software before re-enabling interrupts to avoid
recursive interrupts.
For external interrupt events, such as the INT pin or
PORTB change interrupt, the interrupt latency will be
three or four instruction cycles. The exact latency
depends on when the interrupt event occurs relative to
the current Q cycle. The latency is the same for one or
two-cycle instructions. Individual interrupt flag bits are
set regardless of the status of their corresponding
mask bit, PEIE bit or the GIE bit.

15.15.1 INT INTERRUPT
External interrupt on the RB0/INT pin is edge-triggered,
either ris ing if bit INTEDG (OPTION_REG<6> ) is set or
falling if the INTEDG bit is clear. When a valid edge
appears on the RB0/INT pin, flag bit INT0IF
(INTCON<1>) is set. This interrupt can be disabled by
clearing enable bit, INT0IE (INTCON<4>). Flag bit
INT0IF must be cleared in software in the Interrupt
Service Routine before re-enabling this interrupt. The
INT interrupt can wake-up the processor from Sleep if
bit INT0I E w a s s et prio r to goi ng into Sleep. The status
of Global Interrupt Enable bit, GIE, decides whether or
not the processor branches to the interrupt vector
following wake-up. See Section 15.18 “Power-Down
Mode (Sleep)” for details on Sleep mode.
15.15.2 TMR0 INTERRUPT
An overflow (FFh 00h) in the TMR0 register will set
flag bit, TMR0IF (INTCON<2>). The interrupt can be
enabled/disabled by setting/clearing enable bit,
TMR0IE (INTCON<5>), see Section 6.0 “Timer0
Module”.
15.15.3 PORTB INTCON CHANGE
An input change on PORTB<7:4> sets flag bit, RBIF
(INTCON<0>). The interrupt can be enabled/disabled
by settin g/clearin g enable bit, RBIE (INTC ON<4>), se e
Section 2.2 “Data Memory Organization”.
15.16 Context Saving During Interr upts
During an interrupt, only the return PC value is saved
on the stack. Typically, users may wish to save key
registers during an interrupt (i.e., W, Status registers).
Since the upper 16 bytes of each bank are common in
the PIC16F7X7 devices, temporary holding registers,
W_TEMP, STATUS_TEMP and PCLATH_TEMP,
should be placed in here. These 16 locations don’t
require banking and therefore, make it easier for
context save and restore. The same code shown in
Example 15-1 can be used.
EXAMPLE 15-1: SAVING STATUS AND W REGISTERS IN RAM
MOVWF W_TEMP ;Copy W to TEMP register
SWAPF STATUS, W ;Swap status to be saved into W
CLRF STATUS ;bank 0, regardless of current bank, Clears IRP,RP1,RP0

15.17 Watchdog Timer (WDT)
For PIC16F7X7 devices, the WDT has been modified
from previous PIC16 devices. The new WDT is code
and functionally backward compatible with previous
PIC16 WDT modules and allows the user to have a
scaler value for the WDT and TMR0 at the same time.
In additio n, the WDT time-out valu e can be extende d to
268 seconds, using the prescaler with the postscaler
when the PSA bit is set to ‘1’.
15.17.1 WDT OS CIL LAT OR
The WDT derives its time base from the 31.25 kHz
INTRC; therefore, the a ccuracy of the 3 1.25 kHz will be
the same accuracy for the WDT time-out period.
The value of WDTCON is ‘---0 1000’ on a ll Re sets.
This gives a nominal time base of 16.38 ms which is
compatible with the time base generated with previous
PIC16 microcontroller versions.
A new presca ler ha s been added t o the pat h betw een
the internal RC and the multiplexors used to select the
path for the WDT. This pres caler is 16 bits and can be
programmed to divide the internal RC by 32 to 65536,
giving the time base used for the WDT a n ominal range
of 1 ms to 2.097s.
15.17.2 WDT CONTROL
The WDTEN bit is located in Configuration Word
Register 1 and when this bit is set, the WDT runs
continuously.
The SWD TEN bit is in the WDTC ON register . When the
WDTEN bit in the Confi guration W ord Regis ter 1 is set,
the SWDTE N bit has n o ef fect. I f WDTEN is cl ear, then
the SWDTEN bi t can be used to en able and disab le the
WDT. Setting the bit will enable it and clearing the bit
will disable it.
The PSA and PS<2:0> bits (OPTION_REG) have the
same function as in previous versions of the PIC16
family of microcontrollers.
FIGURE 15-12: WATCHDOG TIMER BLOCK DIAGRAM
Note: When the OST is invo ked, the WDT is held
in Reset because the WDT ripple counter
is us ed by the OS T to perf orm the osc ill a-
tor de lay coun t. When the OST co unt has
expired, the WDT will begin counting (if
enabled).

15.17.3 TWO-SPEED CLOCK
START-UP MODE
Two-Speed Start-up minimizes the latency between
oscillator start-up and code execution that may be
selected with the IESO (Internal/External Switchover)
bit in Configuration Word Register 2. This mode is
achieved by initially using the INTRC for code
execution until the primary oscillator is stable.
If this mode is enabled and any of the following condi-
tions exist, the system will begin execution with the
INTRC oscillator. This results in almost immediate
code exec uti on with a min im um of dela y.
POR and aft er the Power-u p T im er has expired (if
PWRTEN = 0)
or following a wake-up from Sleep
or a Reset, when running from T1OSC or INTRC
(after a Reset, SCS<1:0> are always set to ‘00’).
If the primary oscillator is configured to be anything
other than XT, LP or HS, then Two-Speed Start-up is
disabled because the primary oscillator will not require
any time to become stable after POR or an exit from
Sleep.
If the IRCF bits of the OSCCON register are configured
to a non-zero value prior to entering Sleep mode, the
secondary system clock frequency will come from the
output of the INTOSC. The IOFS bit in the OSCCON
register will be clear until the INTOSC is stable. This
will allow the user to determine when the internal
oscillator can be used for time critical applications.
Checking the state of the OSTS bit will confirm
whether the primary clock configuration is engaged. If
not, the OSTS bit will remain clear.
When the device is auto-configured in INTRC mode
following a POR or wake-up from Sleep, the rules for
entering other oscillator modes still apply, meaning the
SCS<1:0> bit s in OSC CON ca n be modif ied before the
OST time-out has occurred. This would allow the
application to wake-up from Sleep, perform a few
ins tru ctions using the IN TRC as t he clo ck sour ce and
go back to Sleep without waiting for the primary
oscillator to become stable.
15.17.3.1 Two-Speed Start-up Sequence
1. Wake-up from Sleep, Reset or POR.
2. OSCON bits configured to run from INTRC
(31.25 kHz).
3. Instructions begin execution by INTRC
(31.25 kHz).
4. OST enabled to count 1024 clock cycles.
5. OST timed out, wait for falling edge of INTRC.
6. OSTS is set.
7. System clock held low for eight falling edges of
new clock (LP, XT or HS).
8. System cloc k is sw i tch ed to prim ary sour ce (LP,
XT or HS).
The software may read the OSTS bit to determine
when the switchover takes place so that any software
timing edges can be adjusted.
FIGURE 15-13 : TWO-SPEED START -U P
Note: Following any Reset, the IRCF bits are
zeroed and the frequency selection is
forced to 31.25 kHz. The user can modify
the IRCF bits to select a higher internal
oscillator frequency.
Note: Executing a SLEEP instruction will abort
the oscillator start-up time and will cause
the OSTS bit to remain clear.

15.17.4 FAIL-SAFE OPTION
The Fail-Safe Clock Monitor (FSCM) is designed to
allow the device to continue to operate even in the
event of an oscillator failure.
FIGURE 15-14: FSCM BLOCK DIAGRAM
The FSCM function is enabled by setting the FCMEN
bit in Configuration Word R egister 2.
In the event of an oscillator failure, the FSCM will
generate an oscillator fail interrupt and will switch the
system clock over to the internal oscillator . The system
will continue to come from the internal oscillator until
the Fail-Safe condition is exited. The Fail-Safe
conditi on i s e xi ted w i th ei the r a R es et, the e xe cut ion of
a SLEEP instruction or a write to the SCS bits of a
different value .
The frequency of the internal oscillator will depend
upon the value contained in the IRCF bits. Another
clock source can be selected via the IRCF and the
SCS bits of the OSCCON register.
The FSCM sample clock is generated by dividing the
INTRC clock by 64. This will allow enough time
between FSCM sample clocks for a system clock edge
to occur.
On the rising edge of the postscaled clock, the
monitoring latch (CM = 0) will be cleared. On a falling
edge of the primary or secondary system clock, the
monitoring latch will be set (CM = 1). In the event that
a falling edge of the postscaled clock occurs and the
monitoring latch is not set, a clock failure has been
detected.
While in Fail-Safe mo de, a Reset will ex it the Fail-Safe
condition. If the primary clock source is configured for
a crystal, the OST timer will wait for the 1024 clock
cycles for the OST time-out and the device will
continue running from the internal oscillator until the
OST is complete. A SLEEP instruction, or a write to the
SCS bits (where SCS bits do not = 00), can be
performed to put the device into a low-power mode.
If Reset occurs while in Fail-Safe mode and the
primar y cl ock s ource i s EC or RC, t hen t he de vice will
immediately switch back to EC or RC mode.
15.17.4.1 Fail-Safe in Low-Power Mode
A change of SCS<1:0> or the SLEEP instruction will
end the Fail-Safe condition. The system clock will
default to the source selected by the SCS bits, which
is either T1OSC, INTRC or none (Sleep mode). How-
ever, the FSCM will continue to monitor the system
clock. If the secondary clock fails, the device will
immediately switch to the internal oscillator clock. If
OSFIE is set, an interru pt wi ll be gen erat ed.

15.17.4.2 FSCM and the Watchdog Timer
When a clock failure is detected, SCS<1:0> will be
forced to10’ which will reset the WDT (if enabled).
15.17.4.3 POR or Wake from Sleep
The FS CM is designed to detect osc illator failu re at any
point after the device has exited Power-on Reset
(POR) or low-power Sleep mode. When the primary
system clock is EC, RC or INTRC modes, monitoring
can begin immediately following these events.
For oscillator modes involving a crystal or resonator
(HS, LP or XT), the situation is somewhat different.
Since the osc il lat or ma y re quire a start-up ti me con si d-
erabl y longer than the FSCM sa mple clock ti me, a fals e
clock failure may be detected. To prevent this, the
internal oscillator block is automatically configured as
the system clock and functions until the primary clock
is sta ble (the OST and PLL timers have timed out). Thi s
is identical to Two-Speed Start-up mode. Once the
primary clock is stabl e, the INTRC returns to its role a s
the FSCM source.
15.18 Power-Down Mode (Sleep)
Power-Down mode is entered by executing a SLEEP
instruction.
If enabled, the Watchdog Timer will be cleared but
keeps running, the PD bit (Status<3>) is cleared, the
TO (Status<4>) bit is set and the oscillator driver is
turned off. The I/O ports maintain the status they had
before the SLEEP instruction was executed (driving
high, low or high -impedanc e).
For lowest current consumption in this mode, place all
I/O pins at either VDD or VSS, ensure no external circuitry
is drawing current from the I/O pin, power-down the A/D
and disable external clocks. Pull all I/O pins that are
high-impedance inputs, high or low externally, to avoid
switching current s caused by floating inputs. The T0CKI
input should also be at VDD or VSS for lowest current
consumption. The contribution from on-chip pull-ups on
POR TB should als o be cons idered.
The MCLR pin must be at a logic high level (VIHMC).
15.18.1 W AKE-UP FROM SLEEP
The devi ce can wa ke-up from Sleep th rough one of th e
following events:
1. External Reset input on MCLR pin.
2. Watchdog Timer wake-up (if WDT was
enabled).
3. Interrupt from INT pin, RB port change or a
peripheral interrupt.
External MCLR Reset will cause a device Reset. All
other events are considered a continuation of program
executi on and ca us e a “w ake-up”. The TO and PD bit s
in the Status register can be used to determine the
cause of the device Reset. The PD bi t, wh ic h i s se t on
power-u p, is cleared when Sl eep is invok ed. The TO bit
is cleared if a WDT time-out occurred and caused
wake-up.
The follo wing periphe ral interrupt s can wake the device
from Sleep:
1. TMR1 inte rrupt. T imer1 must be o perating a s an
asynchronous counter.
2. CCP Capture mode interrupt.
3. Special event trigger (Timer1 in Asynchronous
mode using an external clock).
4. SSP (Start/Stop) bit detect interrupt.
5. SSP transmit or receive in Slave mode (SPI/I2C).
6. A/D conversion (when A/D clock source is RC).
7. EEPROM write operation completion.
8. Comparator output changes state.
9. AUSART RX or TX (Synchronous Slave mode).
Other peripherals cannot generate interrupts, since
during Sleep, no on-chip clocks are present.
When the SLEEP instruction is being executed, the next
instruction (PC + 1) is prefetched. For the device to
wake-up thro ugh an interrup t eve nt, the corresponding
interrupt enable bit must be set (enabled). Wake-up
occurs regardless of the state of the GIE bit. If the GIE
bit is clear (disabled), the device continues execution at
the inst ruction af ter the SLEEP ins truction. If the GIE b it
is set (enabled), the device executes the instruction
after the SLEEP instruction and then branches to the
interrupt address (0004h). In cases where the execu-
tion of the instruction following SLEEP is not desirable,
the user should have a NOP after the SLEEP instruction.
Note: The same logic that prevents false
oscillator failure interrupts on POR, or
wake from Sleep, will also prevent the
detection of the oscillator s failure to start
at all following these events. This can be
avoided by monitoring the OSTS bit and
using a timing routine to determine if the
oscillator is taking too long to start. Even
so, no oscillator failure interrupt will be
flagged.

PIC16F7X7
15.18.2 WAKE-UP USIN G INTERR UPTS
When global interrupts are disabled (GIE cleared) and
any interrupt source has both its interrupt enable bit
and inte rrupt fla g bit s et, one of the fo llowin g wil l occur:
If the interrupt occurs before the execution of a
SLEEP instruction, the SLEEP instruction will
complete as a NOP. Therefore, the WDT an d WDT
prescaler and postscaler (if enabled) will not be
cleared, the TO bit will not be set and the PD bit
will not be clear ed.
If the interrupt occurs during or after the
execution of a SLEEP ins truc ti on, the device will
immediately wake-up from Sleep. T he SLEEP
instruc t io n will be com pl etel y ex ec ute d befo re the
wake-up. The refore, the WDT and WDT pres caler
and pos tsc aler (i f enabl ed) wi ll be cle ared, the T O
bit will be set and the PD bit wil l be cl eared.
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 ins tructio n execut ed, test
the PD bit. If the PD bit is set, the SLEEP instruction
was executed as a NOP.
To ensure that the WDT is cleared, a CLRWDT ins truction
should be executed before a SLEEP instruction.

15.19 In-Circuit Debugger
When th e DEBU G bit i n t he C onfigu rat ion Word is pro-
grammed to a ‘0’, th e In-Circuit Debugger function ality
is enabled. This function allows simple debugging
functions when used with MPLAB® ICD. When the
microcontroller has this feature enabled, some of the
resources ar e no t avai labl e for ge ner al use . Table 15-7
shows which features are consumed by the background
debugger.
TABLE 15-7: DEBUGGER RESOURCES
To use the In-Circuit Debugger function of the micro-
controller, the design must implement In-Circuit Serial
Programming connections to MCLR/VPP, VDD, GND,
RB7 and RB6. This will interface to the In-Circuit
Debugger module available from Microchip or one of
the third party development tool companies.
15.20 Program Verification/Code
Protection
If the code protection bit(s) have not been
programmed, the on-chip program memory can be
read out for verificati on purp os es .
15.21 ID Locations
Four memory locations (2000h-2003h) are designated
as ID locations where the user can store checksum or
other code identification numbers. These locations are
not accessible during normal execution but are
readable and writable during program/verify. It is
recommended that only the four Least Significant bits
of the ID lo cati on are used.

PIC16F7X7
16.0 INSTRUCTION SET SUMMARY
The PIC16 instruction set is highly orthogonal and is
comprised of three basic categories:
Byte-oriented operations
Bit-oriented operations
Literal and cont rol operations
Each PIC16 instruction is a 14-bit word divided into an
opcode, which specifies the instruction type and one or
more operands, which further specify the operation of
the instruction. The formats for each of the categories
are presen ted in Fig ure 16-1, w hile the variou s opcod e
fields are sum m ariz ed in Table 16-1.
Table 13-2 lists the instructions recognized by the
MPASMTM Assembler. A complete description of each
instruction is also available in the “PIC® Mid-R ange MCU
Famil y Ref erenc e Manu al” (DS33023).
For byte-oriented instructions, ‘f’ represents a file
register designator and ‘d’ represents a destination
designator. The file register designator specifies which
file register is to be used by the instruction.
The desti nation designator specifies where the result of
the operation is to be placed. If ‘d’ is zero, the result is
placed in the W regis ter . If ‘d’ is one, the res ult is place d
in the file register specified in the instruction.
For bit-oriented instructions, ‘b’ represents a bit field
designator which selects the bit affected by the opera-
tion, w hi le ‘f’ represent s th e a ddre ss of the file in which
the bit is located.
For literal and control operations, ‘k’ represents an
eight or eleven-bit constant or literal value
One instr uction cycle co nsists of four os cillator periods ;
for an oscillator frequency o f 4 MHz, t his gives a normal
instruction execution time of 1 s. All instructions are
executed within a single instruction cycle, unless a
conditional test is true, or the program counter is
change d as a result of an instruction. When this occurs,
the execution takes two instruction cycles, with the
second cycle executed as a NOP.
All instruction examples use the format ‘0xhh’ to
represent a hexadecimal number, where ‘h’ signifies a
hexadecimal digit.
16.1 Read-Modify-Write Op erations
Any instruction that specifies a file register as part of
the instruction performs a Read-Modify-Write (R-M-W)
operatio n. The register is read, the data is modi fied and
the resul t is stored ac cording to e ither the ins truction or
the destination designator ‘d’. A read operation is
perfor me d on a regi st er ev en if the instruction wri tes to
that register.
For example, a “CLRF PORTB” instruction will read
PORTB, clear all the data bits, then write the result
back to PORTB. This example would have the
unintended result that the condition that sets the RBIF
flag w oul d b e c le ared fo r pi ns configured as inp ut s an d
using the PORTB interrupt-on-change feature.

Note 1: When an I/O register is modified as a function of itself ( e.g., MOVF PORTB, 1), the value used will be that value
present on the pins themselves. For example, if the data latch is ‘1’ for a pin configured as input and is driven low by an
external device, the data will be written back with a ‘0’.
2: If this instruction is executed on the TMR0 register (and where applicable, d = 1), the prescaler will be cleared if
assigned to the Timer0 module.
3: If Program Counter (PC) is modified, or a conditional test is true, the instruction requires two cycles. The second cycle
is executed as a NOP.
Note: Additional information on the mid-range instruction set is available in the “PIC® Mid-Range MCU Family
Reference Manual” (DS33023).

* T hes e parameters are characte rized but not tested.
Dat a in “Typ” column is at 5V, 25°C unless otherwise stated. These parameters are for design guidance only and are not
tested.
Note 1: This is the limit to which VDD can be lowered without losing RAM data.
2: The supply current is mainly a function of the operating voltage and frequency. Other factors, such as I/O pin loading and
switching rate, oscillator type, internal code execution pattern and temperature, also have an impact on the current
consumption.
The test conditions for all IDD measurements in active operation mode are:
OSC1 = external square wave, from-rail to-rail; all I/O pins tri-stated, pulled to VDD
MCLR = VDD; WDT enabled/disabled as specified.
3: The power-down current in Sleep mode does not depend on the oscillator type. Power-down current is measured with the
part in Sleep mode, with all I/O pins in high-impedance state and tied to VDD and VSS.
4: For RC oscillator configuration, current through REXT is not included. The current through the resistor can be estimated
by the formula Ir = VDD/2REXT (mA) with REXT in k.
5: The current is the additional current consumed when this peripheral is enabled. This current should be added to the
base IDD or I PD measurement.
6: When BOR is enabled, the device will operate correctly until the VBOR voltage trip point is reached.

Note 1: The power-down current in Sleep mode does not depend on the os cillator type. Power-down current is mea sured with
the part in Sleep mode, with all I/O pins in high-impedance state and tied to VDD or VSS and all features that add delta
current disabled (such as WDT, Timer1 Oscillator, BOR, etc.).
2: The supply current is mainly a function of operating voltage, frequency and mode. Other factors, such as I/O pin loading
and switching rate, oscillator type and circuit, internal code execution pattern and temperature, also have an impact on
the current consumption.
The test conditions for all IDD measurements in active operation mode are:
OSC1 = external square wave, from rail-to-rail; all I/O pins tri-stated, pulled to VDD;
MCLR = VDD; WDT enabled/disabled as specified.
3: For RC oscillator configurations, current through REXT is not included. The current through the resistor can be estimated
by the formula Ir = VDD/2REXT (mA) with REXT in k.

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 t he 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 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, 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.
