Microchip products meet the specification contained in their particular Microchip Data Sheet.
Microchip believes that its family of products is one of the most secure families of its kind on the market today, when used in the
intended manner and under normal conditions.
There are dishonest and possibly illegal methods used to breach the code protection feature. All of these methods, to our
knowledge, require using the Microchip products in a manner outside the operating specifications contained in Microchip’s Data
Sheets. Most likely, the person doing so is engaged in theft of intellectual property.
Microchip is willing to work with the customer who is concerned about the integrity of their code.
Neither Microchip nor any other semiconductor manufacturer can guarantee the security of their code. Code protection does not
mean that we are guaranteeing the product as “unbreakable.”
Code protection is constantly evolving. We at Microchip are committed to continuously improving the code protection features of our
products. Attempts to break Microchip’s code protection feature may be a violation of the Digit al 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-16949:2002 certification for its worldwide

2.0 MEMORY ORGANIZATION
2.1 Program Memory Organization
The PIC16F72X/PIC16LF72X has a 13-bit program
counter capable of addressing a 2K x 14 program
memory space for the PIC16F722/LF722
(0000h-07FFh), a 4K x 14 program memory space for
the PIC16F723/LF723 and PIC16F724/LF724
(0000h-0FFFh) and an 8K x 14 program memory sp ace
for the PIC16F726/LF726 and PIC16F727/LF727
(0000h-1FFFh). Accessing a location above the
memory boundaries for the PIC16F722/LF722 will
cause a wrap-around within the first 2K x 14 program
memory space. Accessing a location above the
memory boundaries for the PIC16F723/LF723 and
PIC16F 724 / LF 724 w i ll cause a wra p- ar ound w i thin t he
first 4K x 14 program memory space. The Reset vector
is at 0000h and the interrupt vecto r is at 0004h.

2.2 Data Memory Organization
The data memory is partitioned into multiple banks
which contain the General Purpose Registers (GPRs)
and the Special Function Registers (SFRs). Bits RP0
and RP1 are bank select bits.
RP1 RP0
00Bank 0 is selected
01Bank 1 is selected
10Bank 2 is selected
11Bank 3 is selected
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
Registers are the General Purpose Registers,
implemented as static RAM. All implemented banks
contain Special Function Registers. Some frequently
used Special Function Registers from one bank are
mirrored in another bank for code reduction and
quicker access.
2.2.1 GENERAL PURPOSE REGISTER
FILE
The register file is organized as 128 x 8 bits in the
PIC16F722/LF722, 192 x 8 bits in the PIC16F723/LF723
and PIC16F724/LF724, and 368 x 8 bits in the
PIC16F726/LF726 and PIC16F727/LF727. Each
register is accessed either directly or indirectly through
the File Select Register (FSR), (Refer to Section 2.5
“Indirect Addressing, INDF a nd FSR Reg isters ).
2.2.2 SPECIAL FUNCTION REGISTERS
The Speci al Fu ncti on R eg ister s a re re gi ste rs use d b y
the CPU and peripheral functions for controlling the
desired operation of the device (refer to Table 2-1).
These reg ister s ar e static R AM.
The Special Function Registers can be classified into
two sets: core and peripheral. The Special Function
Registers associated with the “core” are described in
this section. Those related to the operation of the
peripheral features are described in the section of that
peripheral feature.

2.2.2.1 STATUS Register
The S TATUS registe r, shown in R e gis ter 2-1, conta ins:
the arithmetic s tatus of the ALU
the Reset status
the bank select bits for data memory (SRAM)
The STATUS register can be the destination for any
instruction, like any other register. If the STATUS
register is the destination for an instruction that affects
the Z, DC or C bits, then the write to these three bits is
disabled. Th ese bit s are set or cleared ac cording to the
device logic. Furthermore, the TO and PD bits are not
writable. Therefore, the result of an instruction with the
STATUS register as destination may be different than
intended.
For example, CLRF STATUS will clear the upper three
bits and set the Z bit. This leaves the STATUS register
as ‘000u u1uu’ (where u = unchanged).
It is recommended, therefore, that only BCF, BSF,
SWAPF and MOVWF instructions are used to alter the
STATUS register, because these instructions do not
affect any Status bits. For other instructions not
affecting any Status bits (Refer to Section 21.0
“Instruction Set Summary”).
Note 1: The C and DC bits operate as Borrow and
Digit Borrow out bits, respectively, in
subtraction.

Note 1: For Borrow, the polarity is reversed. A subtraction is executed by adding the two’s complement of the
second operand. For rot ate (RRF, RLF) in structions , this b it is loaded with ei ther the hi gh-order or low-orde r

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 r egister. The high byte (PC<12:8>) is not
directly readable or writable and comes from
PCLA TH. On any Reset, the PC is cleared. Figure 2-7
shows the two situations for the loading of the PC. The
upper example in Figure 2-7 shows how the PC is
loaded on a write to PCL (PCLATH<4:0> PCH).
The lower example in Figure 2-7 shows how the PC is
loaded during a CALL or GOTO instruction
(PCLATH<4: 3> PCH).
FIGURE 2-7: LOADING OF PC IN
DIFFERENT SITUATIONS
2.3.1 COMPUTED GOTO
A comput ed GOTO is a ccom pli shed by addi ng a n offset
to the program counter (ADDWF PCL). When perform-
ing 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 block). Refer to the
Application Note AN556, “Implementing a Table Read”
(DS00556).
2.3.2 STACK
All devices have an 8-level x 13-bit wide hardware
stac k (refe r to Fig ures 2-1 and 2-3). The s ta ck sp ace i s
not part of either program or data space and the Stack
Pointer is not readable or writable. The PC is PUSHed
onto the stac k whe n a CALL instruction is executed or
an interrupt causes a branch. The stack is POPed in
the even t 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 buffer . This means that
after the st ack h as be en PU SHed ei ght ti mes, th e nin th
PUSH overwrites the value that was stored from the
first PUSH. The tenth PUSH overwrites the second
PUSH (and so on).
2.4 Program Memory Paging
All devices are capable of addressing a continuous 8K
word block of program memory. The CALL and GOTO
instructions provide only 11 bits of address to allow
branchi ng with in any 2K prog ram memory pag e. When
doing a CALL or GOTO instruction, the upper 2 bits of
the address are provided by PCLATH<4:3>. When
doing a CALL or GOTO instruction, the user must ensure
that the page select bits are programmed so that the
desired program memo ry page is addressed. If a retu rn
from a CALL instruction (or interrupt) is executed, the
entire 13-bit PC is POPed off the stack. Therefore,
manipulation of the PCLATH<4 :3> bits is not required
for the RETURN ins tructio ns (whi ch POPs the addr ess
from the stack).
Example 2-1 shows the calling of a subroutine in
page 1 of the prog ram memory. This exa mple assu mes
that PCLATH is saved and restored by the Interrupt
Service Routi ne (if interrupts are used).

Note 1: There are no Status bits to indicate stack

2: There are no instructions/mnemonics
called PUSH or POP. These are actions
that occur from the execution of the CALL,
RETURN, RETLW and RETFIE instruc-
tions or the vectoring to an interrupt
address.
Note: The contents of the PCLATH register are
unchanged after a RETURN or RETFIE
instruction is executed. The user must
rewrite the contents of the PCLATH regis-
ter for any subsequent subroutine calls or
GOTO instructions.

2.5 Indirect Addressing, INDF and
FSR Registers
The INDF register is no t a physica l register. Addressin g
the INDF register will cause indirect addressing.
Indirect addressing is possible by using the INDF
register. Any instruction using the INDF register
actually accesses data pointed to by the File Select
Register (FSR). Reading INDF itself indirectly will
produce 00h. Writing to the INDF register indirectly
results in a no operation (although Status bits may be
affected). An effective 9-bit address is obtained by
concatenating the 8-bit FSR register and the IRP bit of
the STATUS register, as shown in Figure 2-8.
A simple program to clear RAM location 020h-02Fh
using indirect addressing is shown in Example 2-2.

3.0 RESETS
The PIC16F72X/PIC16LF72X differentiates between
various kinds of Reset:
a) Power-on Reset (POR)
b) WDT Reset during normal operation
c) WDT Reset during Sleep
d) MCLR Reset during normal operation
e) MCLR Reset during Sleep
f) Brown-out Reset (BOR)
Some regi sters a re not af fected in any Rese t condi tion;
their st at us is un kn ow n o n POR a nd un ch ang ed in any
other Reset. Most other registers are reset to a “Reset
state” on:
Power-on Reset (P OR)
•MCLR
Reset
•MCLR
Reset du ring Sleep
•WDT Reset
Brown-out Reset (BOR)
Most registers are not affected by a WDT wake-up
since this is viewed as the resumption of normal
operation. TO a nd PD bi t s are s et or cle are d d ifferentl y
in different Reset situations, as indicated in Table 3-3.
These bi ts are used in software to determine the n ature
of the Reset.
A simplif ied block diagra m of the On-Chip Rese t Circu it
is sh own i n Figure 3-1.
The MCLR Reset path has a noise filter to detect and
ignore small pulses. See Section 23.0 “Electrical
Specifications” for pulse width specifications.

PIC16F72X/PIC16LF72X
3.1 MCLR
The PIC16F72X/PIC16LF72X has a noise filter in the
MCLR Reset path. The filter will detect and ignore
small pul ses.
It should be noted that a Reset does not drive the
MCLR pin low.
Vo lta ges app lied to the pin th at exce ed it s s pecif icatio n
can resu lt in both MCL R Rese t s a nd e xc es sive c urre nt
bey ond t h e de v ic e sp e ci fic at i on du ri ng th e ESD ev e nt .
For this rea son, Microc hip recomme nds that the MC LR
pin no long er be tied direc tly to VDD. The use of an RC
network, as shown in Figure 3-2, is suggested.
An internal MCLR option is enabled by clearing the
MCLRE bit in the Configuration Word register. When
MCLRE = 0, the Reset signal to the chip is generated
internally. When the MCLRE = 1, the RE3/MCLR pin
becomes an external Reset input. In this mode, the
RE3/MCLR pin has a weak pull-up to VDD. In-Circuit
Serial Programming is not affected by selecting the
internal MCLR option.
FIGURE 3-2: RECOMMENDE D MCLR
CIRCUIT
3.2 Power-on Reset (POR)
The on-chip POR circuit holds the chip in Reset until VDD
has reached a high enough level fo r proper operation. A
maximum rise time for VDD is required. See
Section 23.0 “Electrical Spe cification s” for det ails. If
the BOR is enabled, the maximum rise time specification
does not apply. The BOR circuitry will ke ep the device in
Reset until VDD reaches VBOR (see Section 3.5
“Brown-Out Reset (BOR)”).
When the device starts normal operation (exits the
Reset condition), device operating parameters (i.e.,
voltage, frequency, temperature, etc.) must be met to
ensure operation. If these conditions are not met, the
device must be held in Reset until the operating
conditions are met.
For additional information, refer to Application Note
AN607, “Power-up Trouble Shooting” (DS00607).
3.3 Power-up Timer (PWRT)
The Power-up Timer provides a fixed 64 ms (nominal)
time-out on power-up only, from POR or Brown-out
Reset. The Power-up Timer operates from the WDT
oscillator. For more information, see Section 7.3
“Internal Clock Modes”. The chip is kept in Reset as
long as PWRT is active. The PWRT delay allows the
VDD to rise to an acceptable level. A Configuration bit,
PWRTE, can d isable (if set ) or enabl e (if cleare d or pro-
grammed) the Power-up Timer. The Power-up Timer
should be enabled when Brown-out Reset is enabled,
although it is not required.
The Power-up Timer delay will vary from chip-to-chip
and vary due to:
•V
DD variation
Temperature variation
Process variation
See DC parameters for details (Section 23.0
“Electrical Specifications”).
3.4 Watchdog Timer (WDT)
The WDT has the following features:
Shar es an 8-bit prescaler with Timer0
Time-out period is from 17 ms to 2.2 seconds,
nominal
En abl ed by a Conf ig urat ion bit
WDT is cleared under certain conditions described in
Table 3-1.

oscillator.

C1
0.1 μF
Note: The Power-up Timer is enabled by the
PWRTE bit in the Configuration Word.
Note: When the Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST)
is invoked, the WDT is held in Reset,
because the WDT Ripple Counter is used
by the OST to perform the oscillator delay
count. When the OST count has expired,
the WDT will begin counting (if enabled).

3.4.2 WDT CONTROL
The WDTE bit is located in the Configuration Word
Register 1. When set, the WDT runs continuously.
The PSA and PS<2:0> bits of the OPTION register
control the WDT period. See Section 11.0 “Timer0

PIC16F72X/PIC16LF72X
3.5 Brown-Out Reset ( BOR)
Brown-out Reset is enabled by programming the
BOREN<1:0> bits in the Configuration register. The
brown-out trip point is selectable from two trip points
via the BORV bit in the Confi gura tion r egister.
Between the POR and BOR, complete voltage range
coverage for execution protection can be imple-
mented.
Two bits are used to enable the BOR. When
BOREN = 11, the BOR is always enabled. When
BOREN = 10, the BOR is en abl ed , bu t di sabled durin g
Sleep. When BOREN = 0X, the BOR is disabled.
If VDD falls below VBOR for greater than parameter
(TBOR) (see Section 23.0 “Electrical Specifica-
tions”), the Brown-out situation will reset the device.
This will occur regardless of VDD slew rate. A Reset is
not ensured to occur if VDD falls below VBOR for more
than para me ter ( TBOR).
If VDD drops below VBOR while the Power-up Timer is
running, the chip will go back into a Brown-out Reset
and the Power-u p Timer will be re-initialized. Onc e VDD
rises above VBOR, the Power-up Timer will execute a
64 ms Reset.
FIGURE 3-3: BROWN-OUT SITUATIONS
Note: When er asing Flas h program memory, the
BOR is forced to enabled at the minimum
BOR setting to guarantee that any code
protection circuitry is operating properly.

3.6 Time-out Sequence
On power- up, the t ime-out sequ ence is a s follows: first,
PWR T time-out is invoked after PO R has ex pired, the n
OST is act iv ated af te r the PWRT time-ou t has exp ire d.
The tot a l time -ou t wil l vary bas ed on os ci llator configu-
ration and PWRTE bit stat us. For exampl e, in EC mode
with PWRTE bit = 1 (PWRT disabled), there will be no
time-out at all. Figure 3-4, Figure 3-5 and Figure 3-6
depict tim e-o ut sequ en ces .
Since the time-outs oc cur from the PO R pulse, if MCLR
is kept low long enough, the time-outs will expire. Then,
bringing MCLR high will begin execution immediately
(see Figure 3-5). This is useful for testing purposes or
to synchronize more than one PIC16F72X/
PIC16LF72X device operating in parallel.
Table 3-3 shows the Reset conditions for some special
registers.
3.7 Power Control (PCON) Register
The Power Contro l (PCON) register has two S t atus bits
to indicate what type of Reset that last occurred.
Bit 0 is BOR (Brown-out Reset). BOR is unknown on
Power-on Reset. It must then be set by the user and
checked on subsequent Resets to see if BOR = 0,
indicating that a Brown-out has occurred. The BOR
Status bit is a “don’t care” and is not necessarily
predictable if the brown-out circuit is disabled
(BOREN<1:0> = 00 in the Configuration Word register).
Bit 1 is POR (Power-on Reset). It is a ‘0’ on Power-on
Reset and unaf fec ted oth erwise. T he user m ust write a
1’ to this bit following a Power-on Reset. On a
subsequent Reset, if POR is ‘0’, it will indicate that a
Power-on Reset has occurred (i.e., VDD may have
gone too low).
For more information, see Section 3.5 “Brown-Out
Reset (BOR)”.

4.0 INTERRUPTS
The PIC16F72X/PIC16LF72X device family features
an interruptible core, allowing certain events to
preempt normal program flow. An Interrupt Service
Routine (ISR) is used to determine the source of the
interrupt and act accordingly. Some interrupts can be
configured to wake the MCU from Sleep mode.
The PIC16F72X/PIC16LF72X device family has 12
interrupt sources, differentiated by corresponding
interrupt enable and flag bits:
Timer0 Overflow Interrupt
External Edge Detect on INT Pin Interrupt
PORTB Change Inte rrupt
Timer1 Gate Interrupt
A/D Conversion Complete Interrupt
AUSART Receive Interrupt
AUSART Transmit Interrupt
SSP Event Interrupt
CCP1 Event Interru pt
Timer2 Match with PR2 Interrupt
Timer1 Overflow Interrupt
CCP2 Event Interru pt
A block diagram of the interrupt logic is shown in
Figure 4-1.

4.1 Operation
Interrupts are disabled upon any device Reset. They
are enabled by setting the following bits:
GIE bit of the INTCON register
Interrupt Enable bit(s) for the specific interrupt
event(s)
PEIE bit of the INTCON register (if the Interrupt
Enable bit of the interrupt even t is contain ed in the
PIE1 and PIE2 registers)
The INTCON, PIR1 and PIR2 registers record individ-
ual interrupts via Interrupt Flag bits. Interrupt Flag bits
will be set, regardless of the status of the GIE, PEIE
and individual Interrupt Enable bits.
The following events happen when an interrupt event
occurs while the GIE bit is set:
Current prefetched instruction is flushed
GIE bit is cleared
Cu rrent Program Co unter (PC) is p ushed onto th e
stack
PC is loaded with the interrupt vector 0004h
The ISR determines the source of the interrupt by
polling the Interrupt Flag bits. The Interrupt Flag bits
must be cleared before exiting the ISR to avoid
repeated interrupts. Because the GIE bit is cleared, any
interrupt that occurs while executing the ISR will be
recorded through its Interrupt Flag, but will not cause
the processor to redirect to the interrupt vector.
The RETFIE instruction exits the ISR by popping the
previous address from the stack and setti ng the GIE bit.
For additional information on a specific interrupt’s
operation, refer to its peripheral chapter.
4.2 Interrupt Latency
Interrupt latency is defined as the time from when the
interrupt event occurs to the time code e xecut ion at the
interrupt vector begins. The latency for synchronous
interrupts is 3 instruction cycles. For asynchronous
interrupts, the latency is 3 to 4 instruction cycles,
depending on when the interrupt occurs. See Figure 4-2
for timing details.
FIGURE 4-2: INT PIN INTERRUPT TIMING
Note 1: Individual Interrupt Flag bits are set,
regardless of the state of any other
enable bits.
2: All interru pts w ill be igno red while th e GIE
bit is cleared. Any interrupt occurring
whil e the G IE bi t is clear w ill b e serv iced
when the GIE bit is set again.

is the same whether Inst (PC) is a single cycle or a 2-cycle instruction.
3: CLKOUT is available only in INTOSC and RC Oscillator modes.
4: For minimum width of INT pulse, refer to AC specifications in Section 23.0 “Electrical Specifications”.
5: INTF is enabled to be set any time during the Q4-Q1 cycles.

4.3 Interrupts During Sleep
Some interrupts can be used to wake from Sleep. To
wake from Sleep, the peripheral must be able to
operate with out t he system clock. The inter rupt source
must have the appropriate Interrupt Enable bit(s) set
prior to entering Sleep.
On waking from Sleep, if the GIE bit is also set, the
process or will bran ch to the inte rrupt vector . O therwise,
the processor will continue executing instructions after
the SLEEP instruction. The instruction directly after the
SLEEP instruction will always be executed before
branching to the ISR. Refer to the Section 19.0
“Power-Down Mode (Sleep)” for more details.
4.4 INT Pin
The external interrupt, INT pin, causes an
asynchronous, edge-triggered interrupt. The INTEDG bit
of the OPTION register determines on which edge the
interrupt will occur. When the INTEDG bit is set, the
rising edge will cause the interrupt. When the INTEDG
bit is clear, the falling edge will cause the interrupt. The
INTF bit of the INTCON register will be set when a valid
edge appears on the INT pin. If the GI E and INTE bits
are also set, the processor will redirect program
execution to the interrupt vector. This interrupt is
disabled by clearing the INTE bit of the INTCON register .
4.5 Context Saving
When an interrupt occurs, only the return PC value is
saved to the stack. If the ISR modifies or uses an
instruction that modifies key registers, their values
must be s aved at the begi nning of the ISR and res tored
when the ISR completes. This prevents instructions
following the ISR from using invalid data. Examples of
key registers include the W, STATUS, FSR and
PCLATH registers.
The code shown in Example 4-1 can be used to do the
following.
Save the W register
Save the STATUS register
Save the PCLATH registe r
Execute the ISR program
Restore the PCLATH register
Restore the STATUS register
Restore the W register
Since most instructions modify the W register, it must
be saved immediately upon entering the ISR. The
SWAPF instruction is used when saving and restoring
the W and STATUS registers because it will not affect
any bits in the STATUS register. It is useful to place
W_TEMP in shared memory because the ISR cannot
predict which bank will be selected when the interrupt
occurs.
The processor will branch to the interrupt vector by
loading the PC with 0004h. The PCLATH register will
remain unchanged. This requires the ISR to ensure
that the PCLATH register is set properly before using
an instruction that causes PCLATH to be loaded into
the PC. See Section 2.3 “PCL and PCLATH” for
details on PC operation.
EXAMPLE 4-1: SAVING W, STATUS AND PCLATH REGISTERS IN RAM
Note: The microcontroller does not normally
require saving the PCLATH register.
However, if computed GOTO’s are used,
the PC LATH register must be s aved at th e
beginning of the ISR and restored when
the ISR is complete to ensure correct
program flow.

register, which c ontains the various enable and flag bit s
for TMR0 register overflow, PORTB change and
external RB0/INT/SEG0 pin interrupts.
Note: Interru pt flag bit s are set when an interr upt
condition occurs, regardless of the state of
its corresponding enable bit or the global
enable bit, GIE of the INTCON register.
User sof tware sh ould ensure the appropri-
ate interrupt flag bits are clear prior to
enabling an interrupt.

5.0 LOW DROPOUT (LDO)
VOLTAGE REGULATOR
The PIC16F72X devices differ from the PIC16LF72X
devices due to an internal Low Dropout (LDO) voltage
regulator. The PIC16F72X contain an internal LDO,
while the PIC16LF72X do not.
The litho gra phy of t he die allows a maxi mum o per ating
voltage of 3.6V on the internal digital logic. In order to
continue to support 5.0V designs, a LDO voltage
regulator is integrated on the die. The LDO voltage
regulator allows for the internal digital logic to operate
at 3.2V, while I/O’s operate at 5.0V (VDD).
The LD O volt age regul ator req uires an external b ypass
capacitor for stability. One of three pins, denoted as
VCAP, can be configured for the external bypass
capacitor. It is recommended that the capacitor be a
cerami c cap bet ween 0.1 to 1.0 µF. The VCAP pin is not
intende d to suppl y power t o external loads. An ext ernal
voltage regulator should be used if this functionality is
required. In addition, external devices should not
supply power to the VCAP pin.
On power-up, the external capacitor will look like a
large load on the LDO voltage regulator. To prevent
erroneous operation, the device is held in Reset while
a constant current source charges the external
capacitor. After the cap is fully charged, the device is
released from Reset. For more information, refer to
Section 23.0 “Electrical Specifications”.
See Configuration Word 2 register (Register 8-2) for
VCAP enable bits.

6.2 PORTA and the TRISA Registers
PORTA is a 8-bit wide, bidirectional port. The
corresponding data direction register is TRISA
(Register 6-3). Setting a TRISA bit (= 1) will make the
corresponding PORTA pin an input (i.e., disable the
output driver). Clearing a T RISA bit (= 0) will make the
corresponding PORTA pin an output (i.e., enables
output driver and puts the contents of the output latch
on the selected pin). Example 6-1 shows how to
initialize PORTA.
Reading the PORTA register (Register 6-2) reads the
status of the pins, whereas writing to it will write to the
PORT latch. All write operations are read-modify-write
operations. Therefore, a write to a port implies that the
port pins are read, this value is modified and then
written to the POR T dat a latc h.
The TRISA register (Register 6-3) controls the PORTA
pin output drivers, even when they are being used as
analog inputs. The user should ensure the bits in the
TRISA register are maintained set when using them as
analog inputs. I/O pins configured as analog input
always rea d ‘0’.
EXAMPLE 6-1: INITIALIZI NG PORTA
Note: The ANSELA register must be initialized to
configure an analog channel as a digital
input. Pi ns configu red as analo g inputs will
read ‘0’.

6.2.1 ANSELA REGISTER
The ANSELA register (Register 6-4) is used to
configure the Input mode of an I/O pin to analog.
Setting the appropriate ANSELA bit high will cause all
digital reads on the pin to be read as ‘0’ and allow
analog functions on the pin to operate correctly.
The state of the ANSELA bits has no affect on digital
output functions. A pin with TRIS clear and ANSEL set
will still operate as a digital output, but the Input mode
will be analog. This can cause unexpected behavior
when executing read-modify-write instructions on the
affec ted port.

6.3 PORTB and TRISB Registers
PORTB is an 8-bit wide, bidirectional port. The
corresponding data direction register is TRISB
(Register 6-6). Setting a TRISB bit (= 1) will make the
corresponding PORTB pin an input (i.e., put the
corresponding output driver in a High-Imped ance mode).
Clea ring a TRI SB bi t (= 0) will make the corresponding
PORTB pin an output (i.e., enable the output driver and
put the contents of the output latch on the selected pin).
Example 6-2 shows how to ini tia liz e PO R TB.
Reading the PORTB register (Register 6-5) reads the
status of the pins, whereas writing to it will write to the
PORT latch. All write operations are read-modify-write
operations. Therefore, a write to a port implies that the
port pins are read, th is value is modifi ed and the n written
to the PORT dat a lat ch.
The TRISB register (Register 6-6) controls the PORTB
pin output drivers, even when they are being used as
analog inputs. The user should ensure the bits in the
TRISB register are maintained set when using them as
analog inputs. I/O pins configured as analog input always
read ‘0’. Example 6-2 shows how to initialize PORTB.
EXAMPLE 6-2: INITIALIZING PORTB
6.3. 1 ANSELB REGI STER
The ANSELB register (Register 6-9) is used to
configure the Input mode of an I/O pin to analog.
Setting the appropriate ANSELB bit high will cause all
digital reads on the pin to be read as ‘0’ and allow
analog functions on the pin to operate correctly.
The state of the ANSELB bits has no affect on digital
output functions. A pin with TRIS clear and ANSELB
set will still operate as a digital output, but the Input
mode will be analog. This can cause unexpected
behavior when executing read-modify-write
inst ruc tion s on the af fected port .
6.3.2 WEAK PULL-UPS
Each of the PORTB pi ns has an ind ividually co nfigurable
internal weak pull-up. Control bit s WPUB<7:0> enable or
disable each pull-up (see Register 6-7). Each weak
pull-up is automatically turned off when the port pin is
configured as an output. All pull-ups are disabled on a
Power-on Reset by the RBPU bit of the OPTION register .
6.3.3 INTERRUPT-ON-CHANGE
All of the PORTB pins are individually configurable as an
interrupt-on-change pin. Control bits IOCB<7:0> enable
or disable the interrupt function for each pin. Refer to
Register 6-8. The interrupt-on-change feature is
disabled on a Power-on Reset.
For enabled interrupt-on-change pins, the present value
is compared with the old va lue l atch ed on the last rea d
of PORTB to determine which bits have changed or
mismatched the old value. The ‘mismatch’ outputs of
the last read are OR’d together to set the PORTB
Change Interrupt flag bit (RBIF) in the INTCON register .
This interrupt can wake the device from Sleep. The user,
in the Interrupt Service Routine, clears the inte rrupt by:
a) Any read or write of PORTB. This will end the
mismatch condition.
b) Clear the flag bit RBIF.
A mismatch condition will continue to set flag bit RBIF.
Reading or writing PORTB will end the mismatch
cond i ti on and al l ow flag bit RB I F t o be cl e ar ed . Th e la tch
holding the last read value is not affected by a MCLR nor
Brown-out Reset. After these Resets, the RBIF flag will
continue to be set if a mismatch is present.
Note: The ANSELB register must be initialized to
configure an analog channel as a digital
input. Pi ns configu red as analo g inputs will
read ‘0’.

Note: When a pin change occurs at the same
time as a read operation on PORTB, the
RBIF flag will always be set. If multiple
PORTB pins are configured for the
interrupt-on-change, the user may not be
able to identify which pin changed state.

6.4 PORTC and TRISC Registers
PORTC is a 8-bit wide, bidirectional port. The
corresponding data direction register is TRISC
(Register 6-11). Setting a TRISC bit (= 1) will make the
corresponding PORTC pin an input (i.e., put the
corr esponding o utput dr iver in a Hi gh-Impeda nce mode).
Clearing a TRISC bit (= 0) will make the corresponding
PORTC pi n an outp ut ( i.e. , enab le th e out put dri ver and
put th e co nte nts of t he ou tp ut l atc h on t h e se le cted pi n) .
Example 6-3 shows how to initi al ize PO RTC.
Reading the PORTC register (Register 6-10) reads the
status of the pins, whereas writing to it will write to the
PORT latch. All write operations are read-modify-write
operations. Therefore, a write to a port implies that the
port pin s are read, thi s value is modi fied and the n written
to the PORT data latch.
The TRISC register (Re gister 6-11) controls the PORTC
pin output drivers, even when they are being used as
analog inputs. The user should ensure the bits in the
TRISC register are maintained set when using them as
analog inputs. I/O pins configured as analog input always
read ‘0’.

6.5 PORTD and TRISD Registers
PORTD(1) is a 8-bit wide, bidirectional port. The
corresponding data direction register is TRISD
(Register 6-13). Setting a TRISD bit (= 1) will make the
corresponding PORTD pin an input (i.e., put the
corr esponding o utput dr iver in a Hi gh-Impeda nce mode).
Clearing a TRISD bit (= 0) will make the corresponding
PORTD pi n an outp ut ( i.e. , enab le th e out put dri ver and
put th e co nte nts of t he ou tp ut l atc h on t h e se le cted pi n) .
Example 6-4 shows how to initialize PORTD.
Reading the PORTD register (Register 6-12) reads the
status of the pins, whereas writing to it will write to the
PORT latch. All write operations are read-modify-write
operations. Therefore, a write to a port implies that the
port pins are read, this value is modified and then written
to the PORT data latch.
The TRISD register (Register 6-13) controls the
PORTD pin output drivers, even when they are being
used as analo g inpu ts. The us er shou ld ens ure the bit s
in the TRISD register are maintained set when using
them as analog inputs. I/O pins configured as analog
input always read 0’.
EXAMPLE 6-4: INITIALIZI NG PORTD
6.5.1 ANSELD REGISTER
The ANSELD register (Register 6-9) is used to
configure the Input mode of an I/O pin to analog.
Setting the appropriate ANSELD bit high will cause all
digital reads on the pin to be read as ‘0’ and allow
analog functions on the pin to operate correctly.
The state of the ANSELD bits has no affect on digital
output functions. A pin with TRIS clear and ANSEL set
will still operate as a digital output, but the Input mode
will be analog. This can cause unexpected behavior
when executing read-modify-write instructions on the
affected port.
Note 1: PORTD is available on PIC16F724/LF724
and PIC16F727/LF727 only.
Note: The ANSELD register must be initialized
to configu re an anal og channel as a digita l
input. Pi ns configu red as analo g inputs will
read ‘0’.

6.6 PORTE and TRISE Registers
PORTE(1) is a 4-bit wide, bidirectional port. The
corres pond ing d ata direc tion regis ter is TRISE. Se tting a
TRISE bit (= 1) will make the corresponding PORTE pin
an input (i.e., put the corresponding output driver in a
High-Impedance mode). Clearing a TRISE bit (= 0) will
make the corresponding PORTE pin an output (i.e.,
enable the output driver and put the contents of the
output latch on th e s el ected pin). The exception is RE3,
which is input only and its TRIS bit will always read as
1’. Example 6-5 show s how to initia lize PORT E.
Readi ng t he PO R T E register (Reg is ter 6-15) reads th e
status of the pins, whereas writing to it will write to the
PORT latch. All write operations are read-modify-write
operations. Therefore, a write to a port implies that the
port pins are read, this value is modified and then
written to the PORT data latch. RE3 reads ‘0’ when
MCLRE = 1.
The TRISE register (Register 6-16) controls the PORTE
pin output drivers, even when they are being used as
analog inputs. The user should ensure the bits in the
TRISE register are maintained set when using them as
analog inputs. I/O pins configured as analog input always
read ‘ 0’.

implem ented on the PIC16F7 22/723/72 6/

Note: The ANSELE register must be initialized to
configure an analog channel as a digital
input. Pi ns configu red as analo g inputs will
read ‘0’.

7.0 OSCILLATOR MODULE
7.1 Overview
The oscillator module has a wide variety o f clock s ources
and selection features that allow it to be used in a wide
range o f a pplic atio ns wh ile m axim izi ng pe rform ance and
minimizing power consumption. Figure 7-1 illustrates a
block d ia gram of th e os ci ll ator modu le.
Clock sources can be configured from external
oscilla tors, quartz crystal resonators , ceramic resonators
and Resistor-Capacitor (RC) circuits. In addition, the
system can be configured to use an internal calibrated
high-frequency oscillator as clock source, with a choice
of se lec t abl e s peed s v ia software.
Clock source modes are configured by the FOSC bits
in Configuration Word 1 (CONFIG1). The oscillator
module can be configured for one of eight modes of
operation.
1. RC – External Resistor-Capacitor (RC) with
FOSC/4 output on OSC2/CLKOUT.
2. RCIO – External Resistor-Capacitor (RC) with
I/O on OSC2/CLKOUT.
3. INTOSC – Internal oscillator with FOSC/4 output
on OSC2 and I/O on OSC1/CLKIN.
4. INTOSCIO – Internal oscillator with I/O on
OSC1/CLKIN and OSC2/CLKOUT.
5. EC – External clock with I/O on O SC2/CLKOU T.
6. HS – High Gain Crystal or Ceramic Resonator
mode.
7. XT – Medium Gain Crystal or Ceramic
Resonator Oscillator mode.
8. LP – Low-Power Crystal mode.

7.2 Clock Source Modes
Clock source modes can be classified as external or
internal.
Internal clock source (INTOSC) is contained
within the oscillator module and derived from a
500 kHz high precision oscillator. The oscillator
module has eight selectable output frequencies,
with a maximum internal frequency of 16 MHz.
Ext ern al c loc k mo de s rely on ext erna l circuitry for
the clock source. Examples are: oscillator mod-
ules (EC mode), quartz crystal resonators or
ceramic resonators (LP, XT and HS modes) and
Resistor-Capacitor (RC) mode circuits.
The syste m cl oc k can be selected betw ee n ex tern al or
internal clock sources via the FOSC bits of the
Configuration Word 1.
7.3 Internal Clock Modes
The oscillator module has eight output frequencies
derived from a 500 kHz high precision oscillator. The
IRCF bits of the OSCCON register select the
postscaler applied to the clock source dividing the
frequency by 1, 2, 4 or 8. Setting the PLLEN bit of the
Config ura tion Word 1 loc ks the interna l c lo ck s ourc e to
16 MHz befo re the p ostscal er is sel ecte d by the I RCF
bits. T he P LLEN bit m us t be se t or c lea red at th e ti me
of programming; therefore, only the upper or low four
clock source frequencies are selectable in software.
7.3.1 INTOSC AND INTOSCIO MODES
The INTOSC and INTOSCIO modes configure the
internal oscillators as the system clock source when
the devi ce is pr ogrammed using the o scillator selectio n
or the FOSC<2:0> bits in the CONFIG1 register. See
Section 8.0 “Device Configuration” for more
information.
In INTOSC mode, OSC1/CLKIN is available for general
purpose I/O. OSC2/CLKOUT outputs the selected
inter nal oscillator fr equency div ided by 4. Th e CLKOUT
signal may be used to provide a clock for external
circuitry, synchronization, calibration, test or other
application requirements.
In INTOSCIO mode, OSC1/CLKIN and
OSC2/CLKOUT are available for general purpose I/O.
7.3.2 FREQUENCY SELECT BITS (IRCF)
The output of the 500 kHz INTOSC and 16 MHz
INT OSC, w ith Pha se Locke d Loop enabl ed, conne ct to
a postscaler and multiplexer (see Figure 7-1). The
Internal Oscillator Frequency Select bits (IRCF) of the
OSCCON register select the frequency output of the
internal oscillator. Depending upon the PLLEN bit, one
of four frequencies of two frequency sets can be
selected via software:
If PLLEN = 1, frequency selection is as follows:
•16 MHz
8 MHz (Default afte r Reset)
•4 MHz
•2 MHz
If PLLEN = 0, frequency selection is as follows:
•500 kHz
250 kHz (D efau lt af te r Reset)
•125 kHz
•62.5 kHz
There is no start-up delay before a new frequency
selected in the IRCF bits takes effect. This is because
the old and new fre que nc ies are deri ved from INT O SC
via the post s ca ler and multiplexer.
Start-up delay specifications are located in the
Table 23-2 in Section 23.0 “Electrical
Specifications”.
Note: Following any Reset, the IRCF<1:0> bits of
the OSCCON register are set to10’ and
the freq uency selecti on is set to 8 MH z or
250 kHz. The user can modify the IRCF
bits to select a different frequency.

7.5 Oscillator Tuning
The INTOSC is factory calibrated but can be adjusted
in software by writing to the OSCTUNE register
(Register 7-2).
The default value of the OSCTUNE register is ‘0’. The
value is a 6-bit two’s complement number.
When the OSCTUNE register is modified, the INTOSC
frequency will begin shif tin g to th e new frequen cy. Code
execution continues during this shift. There is no

7.6 External Clock Modes
7.6.1 OSCILLATOR START-UP TIMER
(OST)
If the oscillator module is configured for LP, XT or HS
modes, the Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) counts
1024 oscillations on the OSC1 pin before the device is
release d from Reset. This occ urs follo wing a Power-on
Reset (POR) and when the Power-up Timer (PWRT)
has expired (if configured), or a wake-up from Sleep.
During this time, the program counter does not
increment and program execution is suspended. The
OST ensures that the oscillator circuit, using a quartz
cryst al res onator or ce ramic res onator, has st arted an d
is providing a stable system clock to the oscillator
module.
7.6.2 EC MODE
The External Clock (EC) mode allows an externally
generated logic level as the system clock source. When
operating in this mode, an external clock source is
connected to the OSC1 input and the OSC2 is available
for general purpose I/O. Figure 7-2 shows the pin
connections for EC mode.
The Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) is disabled when
EC mode is selected. Therefore, there is no delay in
operation after a Power-on Reset (POR) or wake-up
from Sleep. Because the PIC® MCU design is fully
static, stopping the external clock input will have the
effect of halting the device while leaving all data intact.
Upon restarting the external clock, the device will
resume operation as if no time had elapsed.
FIGURE 7-2: E X TERNAL CLOCK (EC)
MODE OPERATION
7.6.3 LP, XT, HS MODES
The LP, XT and HS modes support the use of quartz
crystal resonators or ceramic resonators connected to
OSC1 a nd OSC2 (Figur e 7-3). The mod e selects a low ,
medium or high gain setting of the internal
inverter-amplifier to support various resonator types
and speed.
LP Oscillator mode selects the lowest gain setting of the
internal inverter-amplifier . LP mode current consumption
is the least of the three modes. This mode is bes t suited
to drive resonators with a low drive level specification, for
example, tuning fork type cry st als.
XT Oscillator mode selects the intermediate gain
setting of the internal inverter-amplifier. XT mode
current c onsumption is the medium of the three mo des.
This mode is best suited to drive resonators with a
medium drive level specification.
HS Oscillator mode selects the highest gain setting of the
internal inverter-amplifie r. HS mode current consumption
is the highest of the three modes. This mode is best
suited for reso nators that require a high driv e se tting.
Figure 7-3 and Figure 7-4 show typical circuits for
quartz crystal and ceramic resonators, respectively.

7.6.4 EXTERNAL RC MODES
The external Resistor-Capacitor (RC) modes support
the use of an external RC circuit. This allows the
designer maximum flexibility in frequency choice while
keeping costs to a minimum when clock accuracy is not
required. There are two modes: RC and RCIO.
In RC mode, the RC circuit connects to OSC1.
OSC2/CLKOUT outputs the RC oscillator frequency
divide d by 4. This signal ma y b e u se d to pro vide a clock
for external circuitry, synchronization, calibration, test
or other application requirements. Figure 7-5 shows
the external RC mode connections.
FIGURE 7-5: EXTERNAL RC MODES
In RCIO mode, the RC circuit is connected to OSC1.
OSC2 becomes an additional general purpose I/O pin.
The RC oscillator frequency is a function of the supply
voltage, the resistor (R EXT) and capacitor (CEXT) values
and the operating temperature. Other factors affecting
the oscillator frequency are:
threshold voltage variation
component tolerances
packaging varia tions in capac itance
The user also needs to take into account variation due
to tolerance of external RC components used.

9.0 ANALOG-TO-DIGITAL
CONVERTER (ADC) MODULE
The Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) allows
conversion of an analog input signal to a 8-bit binary
representation of that signal. This device uses analog
inputs, which are multiplexed into a single sample and
hold circuit. The output of the sample and hold is
connected to the input of the converter. The converter
generates a 8-bit binary result via successive
approximation and stores the conversion result into the
ADC result register (ADRES). Figure 9-1 shows the
bloc k diagram of the ADC.
The ADC vol tage referen ce is software selectab le to be
either internally generated or externally supplied.
The AD C can gener ate an i nterrupt upon comple tio n of
a conve rsion. This inte rrupt can be used to wake-up the
device from Sleep.

“I/O Ports” for more information.
9.1.2 CHANNEL SELECTION
The CHS bits of the ADCON0 r egister det ermine whic h
channel is connected to the sample and hold circuit.
When changing channels, a delay is required before
starting the next conversion. Refer to Section 9.2
“ADC Operation” for more information.
9.1.3 ADC VOLTA GE REFERENCE
The ADREF bits of the ADCON1 register provides
control of the positive voltage reference. The positive
voltage reference can be either VDD, an external
volt age source or the internal Fixed V olt age Referenc e.
The nega tiv e v oltage refe renc e i s al way s c onn ec ted to
the ground reference. See Section 10.0 “Fixed
Voltage Reference” for more details on the Fixed
Voltage Refere nc e.
9.1.4 CONVERSION CLOCK
The source of the conversion clock is software select-
able vi a th e AD CS bi ts of t he AD CO N1 re gis te r. There
are seven possible clock options:
•F
OSC/2
•F
OSC/4
•FOSC/8
•F
OSC/16
•F
OSC/32
•FOSC/64
•F
RC (dedicated internal oscillator)
The time to complete one bit conversion is defined as
TAD. One full 8-bit conversion requires 10 TAD periods
as shown in Figure 9-2.
For correct conversion, the appropriate TAD specifica-
tion must be met. Refer to the A/D conversion require-
ments in Sect ion 23.0 “Electr i cal Specifica t ion s” for
more information. Table 9-1 gives examples of appro-
priate ADC clock selections.
Note: Analog voltages on any pin that is defined
as a digital input may cause the input
buffer to conduct excess current.
Note: Unless using the FRC, any changes in the
system clock frequency will change the
ADC clock frequency, which may
adversely affect the ADC result.

9.1.5 INTERRUPTS
The ADC module allows for the ability to generate an
interrupt upon completion of an Analog-to-Digital
conversion. The ADC interrupt flag is th e ADIF bit in the
PIR1 reg ister. The ADC inte rrupt en able i s the ADIE bit
in the PIE1 register. The ADIF bit must be cleared in
software.
This interrupt can be generated while the device is
operatin g or while in Sle ep. If the device is in Sle ep, the
interrupt will wake-up the device. Upon waking from
Sleep, the n ext ins tructio n follow ing th e SLEEP instruc-
tion is always executed. If the user is attempting to
wake-up from Sleep and resume in-line code execu-
tion, the GIE and PEIE bits of the INTCON register
must be disabled. If the GIE and PEIE bits of the INT-
CON register are enabled, execution will switch to the
Interr u pt Service Routine.
Please refer to Section 9.1.5 “Interrupts for more
information.
9.2 ADC Operation
9.2.1 STARTING A CONVERSION
To enable the ADC module, the ADON bit of the
ADCON0 register must be set to a ‘1’. Setting the GO/
DONE bit of the ADCON0 register to a ‘1’ will start the
Analog-to-Digital conversion.
9.2.2 COMPLETION OF A CONVERSION
When the conversion is complete, the ADC module will:
Clear the GO/DONE bit
Set the ADIF Interrupt Flag bit
Update the ADRES regist er with ne w conversion
result
9.2.3 TERM I NATIN G A CONVERSION
If a conversion must be terminated before completion,
the GO/DONE bit can be cleared in software. The
ADRE S r egis t er wi ll be upd at e d wi th t he part ia l ly com-
plete Analog-to-Digital conversion sample. Incomplete
bits will match the last bit converted.
9.2.4 ADC OPERATION DURING SLEEP
The ADC module can operate during Sleep. This
requires the ADC clock source to be set to the FRC
option. When the FRC clock source is selected, the
ADC wa its on e addition al instru ction bef ore sta rting the
conversion. This allows the SLEEP instruction to be
executed, which can reduce system noise during the
conversion. If the ADC interrupt is enabled, the device
will wake-up from Sleep when the conversion
completes. If the ADC interrupt is disabled, the ADC
module is turned off after the conversion completes,
although the ADON bit remains set.
When the ADC clock source is something other than
FRC, a SLEEP instruction causes the present conver-
sion to be aborted and the ADC module is turned off,
although the ADON bit remains set.
9.2.5 SPECIAL EVENT TRIGG ER
The Special Event Trigger of the CCP module allows
periodic ADC measurements without software inter-
vention. When this trigger occurs, the GO/DONE bit is
set by hardw are and the T imer1 co unter reset s to zero.
Using the S pecial Event T rigger does not assure proper
ADC timi ng. I t is the user’s resp onsib ility t o ensu re that
the ADC timing requirements are met.
Refer to Section 15.0 “Capture/Compare/PWM
(CCP) Module” for more information.
Note 1: The ADIF bit is set at the completion of
every conversion, regardless of whether
or not the ADC interrupt is enabled.
2: The ADC operates during Sleep only
when the FRC oscillator is selected.
Note: The GO/DONE bit shou ld not be se t in the
same instruction that turns on the ADC.
Refer to Section 9.2.6 “A/D Conversion
Procedure”.
Note: A device Reset forces all registers to their
Reset state. Thus, the ADC module is
turned off and any pending conversion is
terminated.

9.3 A/D Acquisition Requirements
For the AD C to meet it s s pe ci fie d ac cu rac y, the c harg e
holding capacitor (CHOLD) must be allowed to fully
charge to the input channel voltage level. The Analog
Input model is s hown in Figu re 9-3. The s ou rce im pe d-
ance (RS) and the internal sampling switch (RSS)
impedance directly affect the time required to charge
the capacitor CHOLD. The sampling switch (RSS)
impedance varies over the device voltage (VDD), refer
to Figure 9-3. The maximum recommended imped-
ance for analog sources is 10 kΩ. As the source
impedance is decreased, the acquisition time may be
decreased. After the analog input channel is selected
(or changed), an A/D acquisition must be done before
the conversion can be started. To calculate the mini-
mum acquis iti on tim e, Equation 9-1 may be used. This
equation assumes th at 1/2 LSb e rror is use d (256 step s
for the ADC). The 1/2 LSb error is the maximum error
allowed for the ADC to meet its specified resolution.

11.0 TIMER0 MODULE
The Timer0 module is an 8-bit timer/counter with the
following features:
8-bit timer/counter register (TMR0)
8-bit prescaler (shared with Watchdog Timer)
Programmable internal or external clock source
Programmable external clock edge selection
Interrupt on over flow
TMR0 can be used to gate Timer1
Figure 11-1 is a block diagram of the Timer0 module.
11.1 Timer0 O p e r at io n
The T ime r0 module can be used as either an 8-b it timer
or an 8-bit counter.
11.1.1 8-BIT TIMER MODE
The Timer0 module will increment every instruction
cycle, if used without a prescaler. 8-Bit Timer mode is
selected by clearing the T0CS bit of the OPTION
register.
When TMR0 is written, the increment is inhibited for
two instruction cycles immediately following the write.
11.1.2 8-BIT COUNTER MODE
In 8-Bit Counter mode, the Timer0 module will
increment on every rising or falling edge of the T0CKI
pin or the Capacitive Sensing Oscillator (CPSOSC)
signal.
8-Bit Counter Mode u sing the T0CKI pin is select ed by
setting the T0CS bit in the OPTION register to 1’ and
resetting the T0XCS bit in the CPSCON0 register to ‘0’.
8-Bit Counter Mode using the Capacitive Sensing
Oscillator (CPSOSC) signal is selected by setting the
T0CS bit in the OPTION register to ‘1’ and setting the
T0XCS bit in the CPSCON0 register to ‘1’.
The rising or falling tra nsition of the incrementing edge
for either input source is determined by the T0SE bit in
the OPTION register.
FIGURE 11-1: BLOCK DIAGRAM OF THE TIMER0/WDT PRESCALER

11.1.3 SOFTWARE PROGRAMMABLE
PRESCALER
A single software programmable prescaler is available
for use with either Timer0 or the Watchdog Timer
(WDT), but not both simultaneously. The prescaler
assignme nt is contro lled by the PSA bit o f the OPTION
register. To as si gn t he p res ca ler t o Timer0, the PSA bit
must be cleared to a0’.
There are 8 prescaler options for the Timer0 module
ranging from 1:2 to 1:256. The prescale values are
select able via th e PS<2:0> bits of the OPTION registe r .
In order to have a 1:1 prescaler value for the Timer0
module, the prescaler must be assigned to the WDT
module.
The prescaler is not readable or writable. When
assigned to the T im er0 module, all instructions writing to
the TMR0 register will clear the prescaler.
11.1.4 TIMER0 INTERRUPT
Timer0 will generate an interrupt when the TMR0
register overflows from FFh to 00h. The T0IF interrupt
flag bit of the INTCON register is set every time the
TMR0 register overflows, regardless of whether or not
the Timer0 interrupt is enabled. The T0IF bit can only
be cleared in software. The Ti mer0 interrupt enable is
the T0IE bit of the INTCON register.
11.1.5 8-BIT COUNTER MODE
SYNCHRONIZATION
When in 8-Bit Counter M ode, the inc rementing ed ge on
the T0CKI pin must be synchronized to the instruction
clock. Synchronization can be accomplished by
sampling the prescaler output on the Q2 and Q4 cycles
of the ins truction c lock. The high and lo w periods of th e
external clocking source must meet the timing
requirements as shown in Section 23.0 “Electrical
Specifications”.
Note: When the presca ler is assigned to W D T, a
CLRWDT instructio n wil l clear the pr escal er
along with the WDT.
Note: The Timer0 interrupt cannot wake the
processor from Sleep since the timer is
frozen during Sleep.

12.1 Timer1 Operation
The Timer1 module is a 16-bit incrementing counter
which is accessed through the TMR1H:TMR1L register
pair. Writes to TMR1H or TMR1L directly update the
counter.
When us ed with an interna l clock source, t he modul e is
a timer and increments on every instruction cycle.
When used with an external clock source, the module
can be used as either a timer or counter and incre-
ments on every selected edge of the external source.
Timer1 is enabled by configuring the TMR1ON and
TMR1GE bits in the T1CON and T1GCON registers,
respectively. Table 12-1 displays the Timer1 enable
selections.
12.2 Clock Source Selection
The TMR1CS<1:0> and T1OSCEN bits of the T1CON
register are used to select the clock source for Timer1.
Table 12-2 displays the c lock s ource sel ections .
12.2.1 INTERNAL CLOCK SOURCE
When the internal clock source is selected the
TMR1H:TMR1L register pair will increment on multiples
of FOSC as determined by the Timer1 presc aler.
12.2.2 EXTERNAL CLOCK SOURCE
When the external clock source is selected, the Timer1
module may work as a timer or a coun ter.
When enabled to count, Timer1 is incremented on the
rising edge of the external clock input T1CKI or the
capacitive sensing oscillator signal. Either of these
external clock sources can be synchronized to the
microcontroller system clock or they can run
asynchronously.
When used as a timer with a clock oscillator, an
external 32.768 kHz crys t al c an be used in conjunctio n
with the dedicated internal oscillator circuit.

PIC16F72X/PIC16LF72X
12.3 Timer1 Prescaler
Timer1 has four prescaler options allowing 1, 2, 4 or 8
divisions of the clock input. The T1CKPS bits of the
T1CON register control the prescale counter. The
prescale counter is not directly readable or writable;
however , the prescaler counter is cleared upon a write to
TMR1H or TMR1L.
12.4 Timer1 Oscillator
A dedicated low-power 32.768 kHz oscillator circuit is
built-in between pins T1OSI (input) and T1OSO
(amplifier output). This internal circuit is to be used in
conjun cti on wi th an ext erna l 32.76 8 kHz cryst al.
The oscillator circuit is enabled by setting the
T1OSCEN bit of the T1CON register. The oscillator will
continue to run during Sleep.
12.5 Timer1 Operation in
Asynchronous Counter Mode
If control bit T1SYNC of the T1CON register is set, the
external clock input is not synchronized. The timer
increments asynchronously to the internal phase
clocks. If external clock source is selected then the
timer will continue to run during Sleep and can
generate an interrupt on overflow, which will w ake-up
the processor. However, special precautions in
software are needed to read/write the timer (see
Section 12.5.1 “Reading and Writing Timer1 in
Asynchronous Counter Mode”).
12.5.1 READING AND WRITING T IMER1 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 time r in tw o
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
conte ntion may occ ur by w ritin g to th e timer regist ers,
while the register is incrementing. This may produce an
unpredictable value in the TMR1H:TMR1L register
pair.
Note: The oscillator requires a start-up and
stabilization time before use. Thus,
T1OSCEN should be set and a suitable
delay observed prior to enabling Timer1.
Note: When switching from synchronous to
asynchronous operation, it is possible to
skip an increment. When switching from
asynchronous to synchronous operation,
it is possible to produce an additional
increment.

12.6 Timer1 Gate
Timer1 can be configured to count freely or the count
can be enabled and disabled using Timer1 Gate
circuitry. This is also referred to as Timer1 Gate Count
Enable.
Timer1 Gate can also be driven by multiple selectable
sources.
12.6.1 TIMER1 GATE COUNT ENABLE
The T imer1 Gate is en abled by s etting the TMR1GE b it
of the T1GCON register. The polarity of the Timer1
Gate is configured using the T1GPOL bit of the
T1GCON register.
When Timer1 Gate (T1G) input is active, Timer1 will
increment on the rising edge of the Timer1 clock
source. When Timer1 Gate input is inactive, no
increm enting wi ll occur and T i mer1 will hol d the current
count. See Figure 12-3 for timing details.
12.6.2 TIMER1 GATE SOURCE
SELECTION
The Timer1 Gate source can be selected from one of
four di f ferent sou rce s. Sou rce s elec tion is c ontroll ed by
the T1GSS bits of the T1GCON register. The polarity
for each available source is also selectable. Polarity
selection is controlled by the T1GPOL bit of the
T1GCON register.
TABLE 12-4: TIMER1 GATE SOURCES
12.6.2.1 T1G Pin Gate Operation
The T1G pin is one source for Timer1 Gate Control. It
can be use d to supply an external so urce to the T ime r1
Gate circuitry.
12.6.2.2 Timer0 Overflow Gate Operation
When Timer0 increments from FFh to 00h, a
low-to-high pulse will automatically be generated and
internal ly su ppl ied to the Tim er1 Gate circ ui try.
12.6.2.3 Timer2 Match Gate Operation
The TMR2 register will increment until it matches the
value in the PR2 register. On the very next increment
cycle, TMR2 will be reset to 00h. When this Reset
occurs, a low-to-high pulse will automatically be
generated and internally supplied to the Timer1 Gate
circuitry.
12.6.2.4 Watchdog Overflow Gate Operation
The Watchdog Timer oscillator, prescaler and counter
will be automatically turned on when TMR1GE = 1 and
T1GSS selects the WDT as a gate source for Timer1
(T1GSS = 11). TMR1ON doe s n ot fac tor i nto the os ci l-
lator, prescaler and counter enable. See Table 12-5.
The PSA and PS bits of the OPTION register still
control w hat time -out interva l is select ed. Changi ng the
prescaler during operation may result in a spurious
capture.
Enabling the Watchdog Timer oscillator does not
automatically enable a Watchdog Reset or Wake-up
from Sleep upon counter overflow.
As the gate signal coming from the WDT counter will
generate different pulse widths depending on if the
WDT is enabled, when the CLRWDT instruction is
executed, and so on, Toggle mode must be used. A
specific sequence is required to put the device into the
correct state to capture the next WDT counter interval.

Note: When using the WDT as a gate source for
T imer1, operations that clear the Watc hdog
Timer (CLRWDT, SLEEP instructions) will
affect the time interval being measured for
capacitive sensing. This includes waking
from Sleep. All other interrupts that might
wake the device from Sleep should be
disabled to prevent them from disturbing
the measurement period.

TABLE 12-5: WDT/TIMER1 GATE INTERACTION
12.6.3 TIMER1 GATE TOGGLE MODE
When Timer1 Gate Toggle mode is enabled, it is pos-
sible to measure the full-cycle length of a Timer1 gate
signal, as opposed to the duration of a single level
pulse.
The Timer1 Gate source is routed through a flip-flop
that changes state on every incrementing edge of the
signal. See Figure 12-4 for timing detai ls.
Timer1 Gate Toggle mode is enabled by setting the
T1GTM bit of the T1GCON register. When the T1GTM
bit is c leared, the fl ip-flop is c leared and held c lear . Thi s
is necessary in order to control which edge is
measured.
12.6.4 TIMER1 GATE SINGLE-PULSE
MODE
When Timer1 Gate Single-Pulse mode is enabled, it is
possible to capture a single pulse gate event. Timer1
Gate Single-Pulse mode is first enabled by setting the
T1GSPM bit in the T1GCON register. Next, the
T1GGO/DONE bit in the T1GCO N register must be se t.
The Timer1 will be fully enabled on the next
incrementing edge. On the next trailing edge of the
pulse, the T1GGO/DONE bit will automatically be
cleared. No other gate events will be allowed to
increment Timer1 until the T1GGO/DONE bit is once
again set in software.
Clearing the T1GSPM bit of the T1GCON register will
also clear the T1GGO/DONE bit. See Figure 12-5 for
timing details.
Enabling the Toggle mode and the Single-Pulse mode
simultaneously will permit both sections to work
together. This allows the cycle times on the Timer1
Gate source to be measured. See Figure 12-6 for
timing details.
12.6.5 TIMER1 GATE VALUE STATUS
When Timer1 Gate Value Status is utilized, it is possi-
ble to read the most current level of the gate control
value. The value is stored in the T1GVAL bit in the
T1GCON register. The T1GVAL bit is valid even when
the Timer1 Gate is not enabled (TMR1GE bit is
cleared).
12.6.6 TIMER1 GATE EVENT INTERRUPT
When T ime r1 Gate Eve nt Interrupt is enabled, it is pos-
sible to generate an interrupt upon the completion of a
gate event. When the falling edge of T1GVAL occurs,
the TMR1GIF flag bit in the PIR1 register will be set. If
the TMR1GIE bit in the PIE1 register is set, then an
interrupt will be recognized.
The TMR1GIF flag bit operates even when the Timer1
Gate is not enabled (TMR1GE bit is cleared).

12.7 Timer1 Interrupt
The Timer1 register pair (TMR1H:TMR1L) increments
to FFFFh and rolls over to 0000h. When Timer1 rolls
over, the Ti mer1 in terrupt fl ag bit of th e PIR1 regis ter is
set. To enable the interrupt on rollover, you must set
these bits:
TMR1ON bit of the T1CON register
TMR1IE bit of the PIE1 register
PEIE bit of the INTCON register
GIE bit of the INTCON register
The interrupt is cleared by clearing the TMR1IF bit in
the Interrupt Service Routine.
12.8 Timer1 Operation During Sleep
Timer1 can only operate during Sleep when setup in
Asynch ronous Counter mode. In this mode, an external
crystal or clock source can be used to increment the
counter. To set up the timer to wake the device:
TMR1ON bit of the T1CON register must be set
TMR1IE bit of the PIE1 register must be set
PEIE bit of the INTCON register must be set
T1SYNC bit of the T1CON register must be set
TMR1 CS bits of th e T1CO N register must be
configured
T1OSCEN bit of the T1CON register must be
configured
TMR1GIE bit of the T1GCON register must be
configured
The device will wake-up on an overflow and execute
the next instructions. If the GIE bit of the INTCON
register is set, the device will call the Interrupt Service
Routine (0004h).
12.9 CCP Capture/Compare Time Base
The CCP module uses the TMR1H:TMR1L register
pair as the time base when operating in Capture or
Compare mode.
In Capture mode, the value in the TMR1H:TMR1L
register pair is copied into the CCPR1H:CCPR1L
register pair on a configured event.
In Compare mode, an event is triggered when the value
CCPR1H:CCPR1L register pair matches the value in
the TMR1H:TMR1L register pair. This event can be a
Special Event Trigger.
For more information, see Section 15.0
“Capture/Compare/PWM (CCP) Module”.
12.10 CCP Special Event Trigger
When the CCP is confi gu r ed to trig ger a sp ec ial even t,
the trigger will clear the TMR1H:TMR1L register pair.
This s pecial event does not cause a Timer1 interrupt.
The CCP modu le may still be conf igu r ed to ge nera te a
CCP interrupt.
In this mode of operation, the CCPR1H:CCPR1L
register pair becomes the period register for Timer1.
Timer 1 shou ld be sync hronized to the FOSC/4 to utilize
the Special Event Trigger. Asynchronous operation of
Timer1 can cause a Special Event Trigger to be
missed.
In the eve nt that a wri te to TMR1H or TMR1L coi ncides
with a Special Event T rigger from the CCP, the write will
take precedence.
For more information, see Section 9.2.5 “Special
Event Trigger”.

13.0 TIMER2 MODULE
The Timer2 module is an 8-bit timer with the following
features:
8-bit timer register (TMR2)
8-bit period register (PR2)
Interrupt on TMR2 match with PR2
Software programmable prescaler (1:1, 1:4, 1:16)
Software programmable postscaler (1:1 to 1:16)
See Figure 13-1 for a block diagram of Timer2.
13.1 Timer2 Operation
The clock input to the Timer2 module is the system
instruction clock (FOSC/4). The clock is fed into the
Timer2 prescaler, which has prescale options of 1:1,
1:4 or 1:16. The output of the prescal er is the n use d to
increm ent the TM R2 regis ter.
The val ues of T MR2 and PR2 are co nstan tly com pared
to determine when they match. TMR2 will increment
from 00h until it matches the value in PR2. When a
match occurs, two things happen:
TMR2 is reset to 00h on the next increment cycle.
The Timer2 postscaler is incremented.
The match output of the Timer2/PR2 comparator is
then fed into th e T i mer2 post sca ler. The post s caler has
post scal e options of 1:1 to 1: 16 inclus ive. The output of
the Timer2 postscaler is used to set the TMR2IF
interrupt flag bit in the PIR1 register.
The TMR2 and PR2 registers are both fully readable
and w rita ble. O n any Rese t, the TMR2 regis ter is set to
00h and the PR2 register is set to FFh.
Timer2 is turned on by setting the TMR2ON bit in the
T2CON register to a ‘1’. Tim er2 is turned off by clearin g
the TMR2ON bit to a ‘0’.
The Timer2 presc ale r is contro lle d by the T2CKPS bits
in the T2CON register. The Timer2 postscaler is
controlled by the TOUTPS bits in the T2CON register.
The prescaler and postscaler counters are cleared
when:
A write to TMR2 occurs.
A write to T2CON occurs.
Any device Reset occurs (Power-on Reset, MCLR
Reset, Watchdog Timer Reset, or Brown-out
Reset).

14.0 CAPACITIVE SENSING
MODULE
The capacitive sensing module allows for an interaction
with an end user without a mechanical interface. In a
typical application, the capacitive sensing module is
attached to a pad on a printed circuit board (PCB), which
is electrically isolated from the end user. When the end
user places their finger over the PCB pad, a capacitive
load is added, causi ng a frequency shift in the capacitive
sensing module. The capacitive sensing module
requires software and at least one timer resource to
determine the change in frequency. Key features of this
module include:
Analog MUX for monitoring multiple inputs
Capacitive sensing oscillator
Multiple timer resources
Software control
Operation during Sleep

14.1 Analog MUX
The capacitive sensing module can monitor up to 16
inputs. The capacitive sensing inputs are defined as
CPS<15:0>. To determine if a frequency change has
occurred the user must:
Select the appropriate CPS pin by setting the
CPSCH<3:0> bits of the CPSCON1 register
Set the corresponding ANSEL bit
Set the corresponding TRIS bit
Run the software algorithm
Selection of the CPSx pin while the module is enabled
will c ause the capac itive sensin g osci llator to be on the
CPSx pin. Fail ure to set the c orrespondi ng ANSEL and
TRIS bits can cause the capacitive sensing oscillator to
stop, leading to false frequency readings.
14.2 Capacitive Sensing Oscillator
The ca p acitive sens ing o scil lator c onsi sts of a cons ta nt
current source and a constant current sink, to produce
a triangle waveform. The CPSOUT bit of the
CPSCON0 register shows the status of the capacitive
sensing oscillator, whether it is a sinking or sourcing
current. The oscillator is designed to drive a capacitive
load (sin gle PCB pa d) and at the same time, be a cloc k
source to either Timer0 or Timer1. The oscillator has
three different current settings as defined by
CPSRNG<1:0> of the CPSCON0 register . The different
current settings for the oscillator serve two purposes:
Maximize the number of counts in a timer for a
fixed time base
Maximize the count differential in the timer during
a change in frequency
14.3 Timer resources
To measure the change in frequency of the capacitive
sensin g oscillato r , a fixed ti me base is required. F or the
period of the fixed time base, the capacitive sensing
osci llator is used to clock either Timer 0 or Tim er1. The
frequency of the capacitive sensing oscillator is equal
to the number of counts in the timer divided by the
period of the fixed time base.
14.4 Fixed Time Base
To measure the frequency of the capacitive sensing
oscillator, a fixed time base is required. Any timer
resource or software loop can be used to establish the
fixed ti me base. It is up to t he end user to de termine the
method in which the fixed time base is generated.
14.4.1 TIMER0
To select T imer0 as the timer res ource for the c apaci tive
sensing module:
Set the T0XCS bit of the CPSCON0 register
Clear the T0CS bit of the OPTION register
When Timer0 is chosen as the timer resource, the
capa citive sensi ng osci llator w ill be the cloc k sourc e for
Timer0. Refer to Section 11.0 “Timer0 Module” for
additional information.
14.4.2 TIMER1
To select Timer1 as the timer resource for the
capacitive sensing module, set the TMR1CS<1:0> of
the T1CON register to 11’. When Ti mer1 is chosen as
the tim er resourc e, the ca paciti ve sens ing oscill ator wil l
be the clock source for Timer1. Because the Timer1
module has a gate control, developing a time base for
the frequency measurement can be simplified using
either:
The Timer0 overflow flag
The Timer2 overflow flag
The WDT overflow flag
It is recommend that one of these flags, in conjunction
with the toggle mode of the Timer1 Gate, is used to
develop the fixed time base required by the software
portion of the capacitive sensing module. Refer to
Section 12.0 “T imer1 M odule with Gate Control” for
additional information.
TABLE 14-1: TIMER1 ENABLE FUNCTION
Note: The fixed time base can not be generated
by timer resource the capacitive sensing
oscillator is clocking.

14.5 Sof tware Control
The softwar e portio n of the ca pacitive sensi ng module
is required to determine the change in frequency of the
capacitive sensing oscillator. This is accomplished by
the following:
Setting a fixed time base to acquire counts on
Ti mer0 or Timer1
Establishing the nominal frequency for the
capacitive sensing oscillator
Establishing the reduced frequency for the
capacitive sensing oscillator due to an additional
capacitive load
Set the frequency threshold
14.5.1 NOMINAL FREQUENCY
(NO CAPACI TIVE LOA D)
To determine the nominal frequency of the capacitive
sensing oscillator:
Rem ove any ex tra capa citive lo ad on the s elected
CPSx pin
At the start of the fixed time base, clear the timer
resource
At the end of the fixed tim e base save the value in
the timer resource
The value of the timer resource is the number of
oscillations of the capacitive sensing oscillator for the
given time base. The frequency of the capacitive
sensing oscillator is equal to the number of counts on
in the timer div ided by the period of the fixe d time base.
14.5.2 REDUCED FREQUENCY
(ADDITI ONA L CAPACIT IV E LOAD )
The extra capacitive load will cause the frequency of the
capacitive sensing oscil lat or to decre ase. To determin e
the reduced frequency of the capacitive sensing
oscillator:
Add a typi cal capacitive load on the selected
CPSx pin
Use the same fixed time base as the nominal
frequenc y measurement
At the start of the fixed time base, clear the timer
resource
At the end of the fixed tim e base save the value in
the timer resource
The value of the timer resource is the number of oscil-
lations of th e cap ac itive sens ing o scill ator w ith an add i-
tion al capac itive load . The f req uency of the capacit ive
sensing oscillator is equal to the number of counts on
in the timer div ided by the period of the fixe d time base.
This f r e que nc y sh ou l d b e les s th an t h e v alu e ob tai n ed
during the nominal frequency measurement.
14.5.3 FREQUENCY THRESHOLD
The frequency threshold should be placed midway
between the value of nominal frequency and the
reduced frequency of the capacitive sensing oscillator.
Refer to Application Note AN1103, “Software Handling
for Capacitive Sensing” (DS01103) for more detailed
information the software required for capacitive
sensing module.
Note: For more information on general Capacitive
Sensing refer to Application Notes:

Sensing” (DS01101)

14.6 Operation during Sleep
The ca p acitive sens ing o scil lator w ill conti nue to run a s
long as th e m odu le is enabled, ind epe nde nt of the part
being in Sleep . In ord er for th e so ftware to determ in e if
a frequency change has occurred, the part must be
awake. However, the part does not have to be awake
when the timer resource is acquiring counts. One way
to acquire the Timer1 counts while in Sleep is to have
Timer1 ga ted with the o ve rflo w o f th e Watc hd og Ti me r.
This can be accomplished using the following steps:
1. Configure the Watchdog Time-out overflow as
the Timer1’s gate source T1GSS<1:0> = 11.
2. Set Timer1 Gate to toggle mode by setting the
T1GTM bit of the T1G C ON register.
3. Set the TMR1GE bit of the T1GCON register.
4. Set TMR1ON bit of the T1CON register.
5. Enable capacitive sensing module with the
appropriate current settings and pin selection.
6. Clear Timer1.
7. Put the part to Sleep.
8. On the first WDT overflow, the capacitive sens-
ing oscillator will begin to increment Timer1.
Then put the part to Sleep.
9. On the second WDT overflow Timer1 will stop
incrementing. Then run the software routine to
determine if a frequency change has occurred.
Refer to Section 12.0 “Timer1 Module with Gate
Control” for additional i nformati on.
Note 1: When using the WDT to set the interval
on Timer1, any other source that wakes
the p art up early will cause the WDT over-
flow to be delayed, affecting the value
captured by Timer1.
2: Timer0 does not operate when in Sleep,
and therefore cannot be used for
cap acitive sense measuremen ts in Sleep.

15.0 CAPTURE/COMPARE/PWM
(CCP) MODULE
The Capture/Compare/PWM module is a peripheral
which allows the user to time and control different
events. In Capture mode, the peripheral allows the
timing of the duration of an event. The Compare mode
allows the user to trigger an external event when a
predetermined amount of time has expired. The PWM
mode can generate a Pulse-Width Modulated signal of
varying frequency and duty cycle.
The timer resources used by the module are shown in
Table 15-1.
Additional information on CCP modules is available in
the Applic ation Not e AN594 , “Using the CCP M odule s”
(DS00594).

15.1 Capture Mode
In Capture mode, CCPRxH:CCPRxL captures the
16-bit value of the TMR1 r egister wh en an eve nt occurs
on pin CCPx. An event is defined as one of the
following and is configured by the CCPxM<3:0> bits of
the CCPxCON register:
Every falling edge
Every rising edge
Ever y 4th rising edg e
Every 16th rising edge
When a cap ture i s m ade, the I nterrupt Re quest Flag bit
CCPxIF of the PIRx register is set. The interrupt flag
must be cleared in software. If another capture occurs
before the value in the CCPRxH, CCPRxL register pair
is read, the old captured value is overwritten by the new
captured value (refer to Figure 15-1).
15.1.1 CCPx PIN CONFIGURATION
In Capture mode, the CCPx pin should be configured
as an input by setting the associated TRIS control bit.
Either RC1 or RB3 can be selected as the CCP2 pin.

15.1.2 TIMER1 MODE SELECTION
T imer1 must be running in Timer mode or Synchronized
Counter mod e for the CCP mod ule to use t he capture
feature. In Asynchronous Counter mode or when
Timer1 is clocked at FOSC, the capture operation may
not work.
15.1.3 SOFTWARE INTERRUPT
When the Capture mode is changed, a false capture
interrupt may be generated. The user should keep the
CCPxIE interrupt enable bit of the PIEx register clear to
avoid false interrupts. Additionally, the user should
clear the CCPxIF interrupt flag bit of the PIRx register
following any change in operating mode.
15.1.4 CCP PRESCALER
There are four prescaler settings specified by the
CCPxM<3 :0> bits o f the CC PxCON regis ter . Whenev er
the CCP module is turned off, or the CCP module is not
in Captu re mode, the presca ler count er is clea red. Any
Reset will clear the prescaler counter.
Switching from one capture prescaler to another does not
clear the prescaler and may generate a false interrupt. To
avoid this unexpected operation, turn the module off by
clearing the CCPxCON register before changing the
prescaler (refer to Example 15-1).
EXAMPLE 15-1: CHANGING BETWEEN
CAPTURE PRESCALERS
15.1.5 CAPTURE DURING SLEEP
Capture mode depends upon the Timer1 module for
proper operation. There are two options for driving the
Timer1 module in Capture mode. It can be driven by
the instruction clock (FOSC/4), or by an external clock
source.
If Timer1 is clocked by FOSC/4, then Timer1 will not
increment during Sleep. When the device wakes from
Sleep, Timer1 will continue from its previous state.
If Timer1 is clocked by an external clock source, then
Capt ure m ode wil l ope rate as defi ned in Section 15.1
“Capture Mode”.
Note: If th e CCPx pin is c onfigu red as an o utput,
a write to the port can cause a capture
condition.

15.2 Compare Mode
In Compare mode, the 16-bit CCPRx register value is
constantly compared against the TMR1 register pair
value. When a mat ch occurs, the CCPx modul e may:
Toggle the CCPx output
Set the CCPx output
Clear the CCPx output
Generate a Special Event Trigger
Generate a Software Interrupt
The action on the pin is based on the value of the
CCPxM<3:0> control bits of the CCPxCON register.
All Compare modes can generate an interrupt.
FIGUR E 1 5-2: COM PARE MODE
OPERATION BLOCK
DIAGRAM
15.2.1 CCPx PIN CONFIGURATION
The user must configure the CCPx pin as an output by
clearing the associated TRIS bit.
Either RC1 or RB3 can be selected as the CCP2 pin.
Refer to Section 6.1 “Alternate Pin Function” for
more information.
15.2.2 TIMER1 MODE SELECTION
In Compare mode, Timer1 must be running in either
Timer mode or Synchronized Counter mode. The
compare operation may not work in Asynchronous
Counter mode.
15.2.3 SOFTWARE INTERRUPT MODE
When Software Interrupt mode is chosen
(CCPxM<3:0> = 1010), the CCPxIF bit in the PIRx
register is set and the CCPx module does not assert
control of the CCPx pin (refer to the CCPxCON
register).
15.2.4 SPECIAL EVENT TRIGGER
When Special Event Trigger mode is chosen
(CCPxM<3:0> = 1011), the CCPx module does the
following:
Resets Timer1
Starts an ADC conversion if ADC is ena bled
(CCP2 onl y)
The CCPx m odule does no t assert control of the CCPx
pin in this mode (refer to the CCPxCON register).
The Special Event Trigger output of the CCP occurs
immediately upon a match between the TMR1H,
TMR1L register pair and the CCPRxH, CCPRxL
register pair. The TMR1H, TMR1L register pair is not
reset until th e next r ising ed ge of the T imer1 clock. This
allows the CCPRxH, CCPRxL register pair to
effectively provide a 16-bit programmable period
register for Timer1.
15.2.5 COMPARE DURING SLEEP
The Compare Mode is dependent upon the system
clock (FOSC) for proper operation. Since FOSC is shut
down during Sleep mode, the Compare mode will not
function properly during Sleep.
Note: Clearing the CCPxCON register will force
the CCPx compare output latch to the
default lo w lev el. This is no t the PO R T I/O

Note: Clocking Timer1 from the system clock
(FOSC) should not be used in Compare
mode. For the Compare operation of the
TMR1 register to the CCPRx register to
occur, Timer1 must be clocked from the
Instruction Clock (FOSC/4) or from an
external clock source.
Note 1: The Special Event Trigger from the CCP
module does not set interrupt flag bit

2: Removing the match condition by
changing the contents of the CCPRxH

generates the T imer1 Reset, will p reclude
the Reset from occurring.

15.3 PWM Mode
The PWM mode generates a Pulse-Width Modulated
signal on the CCPx pin. The duty cycle, period and
resolution are determined by the following registers:
•PR2
•T2CON
CCPRxL
CCPxCON
In Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) mode, the CCP
module produce s up to a 10 -bit resol ution PWM outp ut
on the CCPx pin.
Figure 15-3 shows a simplified block diagram of PWM
operation.
Figure 15-4 shows a typical waveform of the PWM
signal.
For a ste p-by-step proc edure on how t o set up the CC P
module for PWM operation, refer to Section 15.3.8
“Setup for PWM Operation”.

15.3.2 PW M PE RIOD
The PWM period is specified by the PR2 register of
Timer2. The PWM period can be calculated using the
formula of Equation 15-1.
EQUATION 15-1: PWM PERIOD
When TM R2 is equa l to PR2, t he followi ng three ev ents
occur on t he next incremen t cycle:
TMR 2 is cl eare d
The CCPx pin is set. (Exception: If the PWM duty
cycle = 0%, the pin will not be set.)
The P WM duty c ycle is l atched from CCPRxL into
CCPRxH.
15.3.3 PW M DUTY CYCL E
The PWM duty cycle is specified by writing a 10-bit value
to multiple registers: CCPRxL register and D CxB<1:0>
bits of the CCPxCON register. The CCPRxL contains
the eight MSbs and the DCxB<1:0> bits of the
CCPxCON register contain the two LSbs. CCPRxL and
DCxB<1:0> bits of the CCPxCON register can be written
to at any time. The duty cycle value is not latched into
CCPRxH until after the period completes (i.e., a match
between PR2 and TMR2 registers occurs). While using
the PWM, the CCPRxH register is read-only.
Equation 15-2 is used to calculate the PWM pulse
width.
Equat ion 15-3 is us ed t o c alc ul ate t he PWM duty cy cl e
ratio.
EQUATION 15-2: PULSE WIDTH
EQUATION 15-3: DUTY CYCLE RATIO
The CCPRxH register and a 2-bit internal latch are
used to dou ble buf fer th e PWM duty cycle. Thi s doubl e
buffering is essential for gl itchless PWM operation.
The 8-bit timer TMR2 register is concatenated with
either the 2-bit internal system clock (FOSC), or 2 bits of
the prescaler , to create the 10-bit time ba se. The system
clock is used if the Timer2 pres caler is s et to 1:1.
When the 10-bit time base matches the CCPRxH and
2-bit latch, then the CCPx pin is cleared (refer to
Figure 15-3).
Note: The Timer2 postscaler (refer to
Section 13.1 “Timer2 Operation”) is not
used in the determination of the PWM
frequency.

When the device wakes up, TMR2 wil l continue from it s

15.3.6 CHANGES IN SYSTEM CLOCK
FREQUENCY
The PWM frequency is derived from the system clock
frequency (FOSC). Any c hanges in the sys tem clock fre-
quency will result in changes to the PWM frequency.
Refer to Section 7.0 “Oscillator Module” for
additional details.
15.3.7 EFFECTS OF RESET
Any Reset will force all ports to Input mode and the
CCP registers to their Reset states.
15.3.8 SETUP FOR PWM OPERATION
The following steps should be taken when configuring
the CCP module for PWM operation:
1. Disable the PWM pi n (CCPx ) outp ut driv er(s) b y
setting the associated TRIS bit(s).
2. Load the PR2 register with the PWM period value.
3. Configure the CCP module for the PWM mode
by loading the CCPxCON register with the
appropriate values.
4. Load the CCPR xL register and the DCxBx bits of
the CCPxCON register, with the PWM duty cy cle
value.
5. Configure and start Timer2:
Clear the TMR2IF interrupt flag bit of the PIR1
register. See Note below.
Configure the T2CKPS bits of the T2CON
register w ith the Timer2 pres ca le value.
Enable Timer2 by setting the TMR2ON bit of
the T2CON register.
6. Enable PWM output pin:
Wait until Timer2 overflows, TMR2IF bit of the
PIR1 register is set. See Note below.
Enabl e the PWM pin (CCPx) out put driver(s) by
clearing the associated TRIS bit(s).
Note: If the pulse width value is greater than the
period the assigned PWM pin(s) will
remain unchanged.

16.0 ADDRESSABLE UNIVERSAL
SYNCHRONOUS
ASYNCHRONOUS RECEIVER
TRANSMITTER (AUSART)
The Addressable Universal Synchronous
Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter (AUSART)
module is a serial I/O communications peripheral. It
contains all the clock generators, shift registers and
data buffers necessary to perform an input or output
serial data transfer independent of device program
execution. The AUSART, also known as a Serial
Communicati ons Interface (SCI), can b e configured as
a full-duplex asynchronous system or half-duplex
synchronous system. Full-Duplex mode is useful for
communications with peripheral systems, such as CRT
terminals and personal computers. Half-Duplex
Synchronous mode is intended for communications
with peripheral devices, such as A/D or D/A integrated
circuits, serial EEPROMs or other microcontrollers.
These device s typ icall y do n ot have inter nal cl ocks for
baud rate generation and require the external clock
signal provided by a master synchronous device.
The AUSART m odule includes the follow ing capabilities:
Full-duplex asynchronous transmit and receive
Two-character input buffer
One -ch arac ter out put buffer
Programmable 8-bit or 9-bit character length
Address detection in 9-bit mode
Input buffer overrun error detection

16.1 AUSART Asynchronous Mode
The AUSART transmits and receives data using the
standard non-return-to-zero (NRZ) format. NRZ is
implemented with two levels: a VOH mark state which
represents a ‘1’ data bit, and a VOL space state which
represents a ‘0’ data bit. NRZ refers to the fact that
consecutively transmitted data bits of the same value
stay at the output l evel of that bit wi thout returning to a
neutral level between each bit transmission. An NRZ
transmission port idles in the mark state. Each character
transmission consists of one Start bit followed by eig ht
or nine data bits and is always terminated by one or
more Stop bits. The Start bit is always a space and the
Stop bits are always marks. The most common data
format is 8 bits. Each transmitted bit persists for a period
of 1/(Baud Rate). An on-chip dedicated 8-bit Baud Rate
Generator is used to derive standard baud rate
frequencies from the system oscillator. Refer to
Table 16-5 for examples of baud rate configurations.
The AUSART transmits and receives the LSb first. The
AUSART’s transmitter and receiver are functionally
indepen dent, but share th e sa me dat a format and bau d
rate. Parity is not supported by the hardware, but can
be implemented in software and stored as the ninth
data b it.
16.1.1 AUSART ASYNCHRONOUS
TRANSMITTER
The AUSART transmitter block diagram is shown in
Figure 16-1. The heart of the transmitter is the serial
Transmit Shift Register (TSR), which is not directly
accessible by software. The TSR obtains its data from
the transmit buffer, which is the TXREG register.
16.1.1.1 Enabling the Transmitter
The AUSART transmitter is enabled for asynchronous
operations by configuring the following three control
bits:
•TXEN = 1
SYNC = 0
SPEN = 1
All other AUSART control bits are assumed to be in
their default state.
Setting the TXEN bit of the TXSTA register enables the
transmitter circuitry of the AUSART. Clearing the SYNC
bit of the TXSTA register configures the AUSART for
asynchronous operation. Setting the SPEN bit of the
RCSTA register enables the AUSART and
automatically configures the TX/CK I/O pin as an output.
16.1.1.2 Transmitting Data
A transmission is initiated by writing a character to the
TXREG register. If this is the first character, or the
previous character has been completely flushed from
the TSR, the data in the TXREG is immediately
transferred to the TSR re gister. If the T SR still contains
all or part of a previous character, the new character
data is held in the TXREG until the Stop bit of the
previous character has been transmitted. The pending
character in the TXREG is then tran sferred to the TSR
in one TCY immediately following the Stop bit
transmission. The transmission of the Start bit, data bit s
and Stop bit sequence commences immediately
following the transfer of the data to the TSR from the
TXREG.
16.1.1.3 Transmit Interrupt Flag
The TXIF interrupt flag bit of the PIR1 register is set
whenever the AUSART transmitter is enabled and no
character is being held for transmission in the TXREG.
In other words, the TXIF bit is only clear when the TSR
is busy with a character and a new char acter ha s been
queued for transmission in the TXREG. The TXIF flag
bit is not cleared immediately upon writing TXREG.
TXIF becomes valid in the second instruction cycle
following the w rite execution. Polling TX IF immediately
following the TXREG write will return invalid results. The
TXIF bit is read-only, it cannot be set or cleared by
software.
The TXIF interrupt can be enabled by setting the TXIE
interrupt enable bit of the PIE1 register. However, the
TXIF fla g bit will be set wheneve r the TXR EG is emp ty,
regardless of the state of TXIE enable bit.
To use interrupts when transmitting data, set the TXIE
bit only when there is more data to send. Clear the
TXIE i nterrupt en able bi t upon w riting the last charact er
of the transmission to the TXREG.
Note 1: When the SPEN bit is set the RX/DT I/O pin
is automatically configured as an input,
regardless of the state of the corresponding
TRIS bit and whether or not the AUSART
receiver is enabled. The RX/DT pin data
can be read via a normal PORT read but
PORT latch data output is precluded.
2: The TXIF transmitter interrupt flag is set
when the TXEN enable bit is set.

16.1.1.4 TSR Status
The TRMT bit of the TXSTA register indicates the
status of the TSR register. This is a read-only bit. The
TRMT bit is set when the TSR register is empty and is
cleared when a character is transferred to the TSR
register from the TXREG. The TRMT bit remains clear
until all bits have been shifted out of the TSR register.
No interrupt logic is tied to this bit, so the user has to
poll this bit to determine the TSR status.
16.1.1.5 Transmitting 9-Bit Characters
The AUSART supports 9-bit character transmissions.
When the TX9 bit of the TXSTA register is set the
AUSART will shif t 9 bits out for each character transmit-
ted. The TX9D bit of the TXSTA register is the ninth,
and Most Significant, data bit. When transmitting 9-bit
data, the TX9D data bit must be written before writing
the 8 Least Sig nificant bit s into the TXREG. All nine bit s
of data will be transferred to the TSR shift register
immediately after the TXREG is written.
A special 9-bit Address mode is available for use with
multiple receivers. Refer to Section 16.1.2.7 “Address
Detection” for more information on the Address mode.
16.1.1.6 Asynchronous Transmission Set-up:
1. Initialize the SPBRG register and the BRGH bit to
achieve the desired baud rate (Refer to
Section 16.2 “AUSART Baud Rate Generator
(BRG)”).
2. Enable the asy nch ron ous seri al port by clearin g
the SYNC bit and setting the SPEN bit.
3. If 9-bit tran sm ission is des ire d, s et th e TX9 co n-
trol bit. A set nin th data bi t will indicat e that the 8
Least Significant data bits are an address when
the receiver is set for address detection.
4. Enable the transmission by setting the TXEN
contr ol bit . Thi s wi ll c aus e th e TXI F i nte rrup t bi t
to be set.
5. If interrupts are desired, set the TXIE interrupt
enable bit of the PIE1 register. An interrupt will
occur immediately provided that the GIE and
PEIE bits of the INTCON register are also set.
6. If 9-bit transmission is selected, the ninth bit
should be loaded into the TX9D data bit.
7. Load 8-bit data into the TXREG register. This
will start the transmission.

16.1.2 AUSART ASYNCHRONOUS
RECEIVER
The Asynchronous mode is typically used in RS-232
systems. The receiver block diagram is shown in
Figure 16-2. The d ata is received on th e RX/DT pin and
drives the data recov ery block. The data recovery block
is actually a high-speed shifter operating at 16 times
the baud rate, whereas the serial Receive Shift
Register (RSR) op erat es at the bit rat e. When all 8 or 9
bits of the character have been shifted in, they are
immediately transferred to a two character First-In
First-Out (FIFO) memory. The FIFO buffering allows
receptio n of two complete characters and the s t art of a
third cha rac ter be fore software must start servi ci ng th e
AUSART receiver. The FIFO and RSR registers are not
direc tly ac cessible b y s oftwar e. Ac cess to the r e ce ived
data is via the RCREG register.
16.1.2.1 Enabling the Receiver
The AUSART receiver is enabled for asynchronous
operatio n by configuring the fol lowing three control bits:
CREN = 1
SYNC = 0
SPEN = 1
All other AUSART control bits are assumed to be in
their default state.
Setting the CREN bit of the RCST A register enables the
receiver circuitry of the AUSART. Clearing the SYNC bit
of the TXSTA register configures the AUSART for
asynchronous operation. Setting the SPEN bit of the
RCSTA register enables the AUSART and
automatically configures the RX/DT I/O pin as an input.
16.1.2.2 Receiving Data
The receiver data recovery circuit initiates character
receptio n on t he fallin g edge of the first bit. Th e f irst bit,
also known as the Start bit, is always a zero. The data
recovery circuit co unt s one-h alf bi t time to the c enter of
the Start bit and verifies that the bit is still a zero. If it is
not a zero then the data recovery circuit aborts
character reception, without generating an error, and
resumes looking for the falling edge of the Start bit. If
the Start bit zero verification succeeds then the data
recovery circuit c ounts a full bit time to the ce nter of the
next bit. The bit is then sampled by a majority detect
circuit and the resultin g ‘0’ or ‘1’ is sh ifted int o the RSR.
This repeats until all data bits have been sampled and
shif ted into the RSR. One final bit time is measured and
the le ve l samp le d . Thi s is th e Sto p bi t, wh ic h is alwa ys
a ‘1’. If the data recovery circuit samples a ‘0’ in the
Stop bit position then a framing error is set for this
charact er , otherwise th e framing error is c leared for thi s
character. Refer to Section 16.1.2.4 “Receive
Framing Error” for more information on framing
errors.
Immediately after all data bits and the Stop bit have
been received, the character in the RSR is transferred
to the AUSART receive FIFO and the RCIF interrupt
flag bit of the PIR1 register is set. The top character in
the FIFO is transferred out of the FIFO by reading the
RCREG register.
16.1.2.3 Receive Interrupts
The RCIF interrupt flag bit of the PIR1 register is set
whenever the AUSAR T receiver i s enabled and there is
an unread character in the receive FIFO. The RCIF
interrupt fla g bit is read-o nly, it ca nnot b e set or cl eared
by software.
RCIF interrupts are enabled by setting all of the
following bits:
RCIE interrupt enable bit of the PIE1 register
PEIE periphe ral interru pt enab le bit of the
INTCON register
GIE global interrupt enable bit of the INTCON
register
The RCIF interrupt flag bit of the PIR1 register will be
set when there is an unread character in the FIFO,
regardless of the state of interrupt enable bits.
Note: When the SPEN bit is set the TX/CK I/O
pin is automatically configured as an
output, regardless of the state of the
corresp onding TRI S bit and whe ther or not
the AUSART transmitter is enabled. The
PORT latch is disconnected from the
output driver so it is not possible to use the
TX/CK pin as a general purpose output.
Note: If the receive FIFO is overrun, no addi tional
characters will be received until the overrun
condition is cleared. Refer to
Section 16.1.2.5 “Receive Overrun
Error” for more information on overrun
errors.

PIC16F72X/PIC16LF72X
16.1.2.4 Receive Framing Error
Each character in the receive FIFO buffer has a
corresponding framing error Status bit. A framing error
indic ates t hat a Stop bit was not seen at the e xpect ed
time. The framing error status is accessed via the
FERR bit of the RCSTA register. The FERR bit
represen ts the s ta tus o f the top u nread charac ter in the
receive FIFO. Therefore, the FERR bit must be read
before reading the RCREG.
The FERR bit is read-only and only applies to the top
unre ad char acter in the re ceive F IFO. A framing error
(FERR = 1) does not preclude reception of additional
characters. It is not necessary to clear the FERR bit.
Reading the next character from the FIFO buffer will
advance the FIFO to the next character and the next
corresponding framing error.
The FERR bit can be forced clear by clearing the SPEN
bit of the RCSTA register which resets the AUSART.
Clearing the CREN bit of the RCSTA register does not
affect the FERR bit. A framing error by itself does not
generate an interrupt.
16.1.2.5 Receive Overrun Error
The receive FIFO buffer can hold two characters. An
overrun error will be genera ted if a th ird charac ter , in it s
entirety , is received before the FIFO is accessed. When
this happens the OERR bit of the RCSTA register is
set. The characters already in the FIFO buffer can be
read but no additional characters will be received until
the error is c leared. The error mu st be cleared by eith er
clearing the CREN bit of the RCSTA register or by
setting the AUSART by clearing the SPEN bit of the
RCSTA register.
16.1.2.6 Receiving 9-bit Characte rs
The AUS ART support s 9-bit c haracter rece ption. When
the RX9 bit of the RCSTA register is set the AUSART
will shift 9 bits into the RSR for each character
received. The RX9D bit of the RCSTA register is the
ninth and Most Significant data bit of the top unread
charact er in the recei ve FIFO. When read ing 9- bit dat a
from the receive FIFO buffer, the RX9D data bit must
be read befo re reading the 8 L east Signifi cant bits fro m
the RCREG.
16.1.2. 7 Addr es s Detecti on
A special Address Detection mode is available for use
when multiple receivers share the same transmission
line, such as in RS-485 systems. Address detection is
enabled by setting the ADDEN bit of the RCSTA
register.
Address detection requires 9-bit character reception.
When address detection is enabled, only characters
with the ninth data bit set will be transferred to the
rece iv e FI F O bu ffe r, there by s et t i ng th e R CI F i nte r r up t
bit of the PIR1 register. All other characters will be
ignored.
Upon receiving an address character, user software
determines if the address matches its own. Upon
address match, user software must disable address
detection by clearing the ADDEN bit before the next
Stop b it oc cu rs. When use r s oftware de tec t s th e end of
the message, determined by the message protocol
used, software places the receiver back into the
Address Detection mode by setting the ADDEN bit.
Note: If all receive characters in the receive
FIFO have framing errors, repeated reads
of the RCREG will not clear the FERR bit.

16.2 AUSART Baud Rate Generator
(BRG)
The Baud Rate Generator (BRG) is an 8-bit timer that
is dedicated to the support of both the asynchronous
and synchronous AUSART operation.
The SPBRG register determines the period of the free
running baud rate timer. In Asynchronous mode the
multiplier of the baud rate period is determined by the
BRGH bit of the TXSTA register. In Synchronous mode,
the BRGH bit is ignored.
Table 16-3 contains the formulas for determining the
baud rate . Example 16-1 provides a s ample calcul ation
for determining the baud rate and baud rate error.
Typical baud rates and error values for various
asynchronous modes have been computed for your
convenience and are shown in Table 16-3. It may be
advant ageous to use the high baud rate (BRG H = 1), to
reduce the baud rate error.
Writing a new value to the SPBRG register causes the
BRG timer to be reset (or cleared). This ensures that
the BRG does not wait for a timer overflow before
outputting the new baud rate.

16.3 AUSART Synchronous Mode
Synchronous serial communications are typically used
in systems with a single master and one or more
slaves. The master device contains the necessary cir-
cuitry for baud rate generation and supplies the clock
for all devices in the system. Slave devices can take
advantage of the master clock by eliminating the
internal clock generation circuitry.
There are two signal lines in Synchronous mode: a
bidirectional data line and a clock line. Slaves use the
external clock supplied by the master to shift the serial
data into and out of their respective receive and trans-
mit shift registers. Since the data line is bidirectional,
synchronous operation is half-duplex only. Half-duplex
refers to the fact that master and slave devices can
receive and transmit data but not both simultaneously.
The AUSART can operate as either a master or slave
device.
Start and Stop bits are not used in synchronous
transmissions.
16.3.1 SYNCHRONOUS MASTER MODE
The following bits are used to configure the AUSART
for Synchronous Master operation:
SYNC = 1
CSRC = 1
SREN = 0 (for transmit); SREN = 1 (for receive)
CREN = 0 (for transmit); CREN = 1 (for receive)
SPEN = 1
Setting the SYNC bit of the TXSTA register configures
the de vi c e f or sy n ch ron ous opera tion. Setti ng the CSRC
bit of the TXSTA register configures the device as a
master. Clearing the SREN and CREN bits of the RCST A
regis ter ensures th at the dev ic e i s in th e Tra ns m it mode,
otherwise the device will be configured to receive. Setting
the SPEN bit of the RCSTA register enables the
AUSART.
16.3.1.1 Master Clock
Synchronous data transfers use a separate clock line,
which is synchronous with the data. A device config-
ured as a master transmit s the c lock on the TX/CK lin e.
The TX/CK pin output driver is automatically enabled
when the AUSART is configured for synchronous
transmit or receive operation. Serial data bits change
on the le ading edg e to ensure they are v alid at the trail-
ing edge of each clock. One clock cycle is generated
for each data bit. Only as many clock cycles are
generated as there are data bits.
16.3.1.2 Synchronous Master Transmission
Data is transferred out of the device on the RX/DT pin.
The RX/DT and TX/C K pi n outp ut driv ers ar e aut oma t-
ically enabled when the AUSART is configured for
synchronous master transmit operation.
A transmission is initiated by writing a character to the
TXREG reg is ter. If the TSR st ill co nt a ins al l or part of a
previous character, the new character data is held in
the TXREG until the last bit of the previous character
has been tran smitted. If this is the first ch aracter, or the
previous character has been completely flushed from
the TSR, the data in the TXREG is immediately trans-
ferred to the TSR. The transmission of the character
commences immediately following the transfer of the
data to the TSR from the TXREG.
Each data bit changes on the leading edge of the
master clock and remains valid until the subsequent
leading clock edge.
16.3.1.3 Synchronous Master Transmission
Set-up:
1. Initialize the SPBRG register and the BRGH bit
to achieve the desired baud rate (refer to
Section 16.2 “AUSART Baud Rate Generator
(BRG)”).
2. Enable the synchronous master serial port by
setting bits SYNC, SPEN, and CSRC.
3. Disable Receive mode by clearing bits SREN
and CREN.
4. Enable Transmit mode by setting the TXEN bit.
5. If 9-bit transmission is desired, set the TX9 bit.
6. If interrupts are desired, set the TXIE bit of the
PIE1 register and the GIE and PEIE bits of the
INTCON register.
7. If 9-bit transmission is selected, the ninth bit
should be loaded in the TX9D bit.
8. Start transmission by loading data to the
TXREG register.
Note: The TSR register is not mapped in data
memory, so it is not available to the user.

16.3.1.4 Synchronous Master Reception
Data is received at the RX/DT pin. The RX/DT pin
output driver is automatically disabled when the
AUSAR T is config ured fo r synch ronous master receiv e
operation.
In Synchronous mode, reception is enabled by setting
either the Single Receive Enable bit (SREN of the
RCSTA register) or the Continuous Receive Enable bit
(CREN of the RCSTA register).
When SREN is set and CREN is clear, only as many
clock cycles are generated as there are data bits in a
single character. The SREN bit is automatically cleared
at the com pletio n of one c har acter. When CREN is set,
clocks are continuously generated until CREN is
cleared . If CREN is cleared in the middle of a c haracter
the CK clo ck sto p s imm ed iat ely and t he p a rtia l charac-
ter is discarded. If SREN and CREN are both set, then
SREN is cl eared at the co mpletion of the first cha racter
and CREN takes precedence.
To initiate reception, set either SREN or CREN. Data is
sampled at the RX/DT pin on the trailing edge of the
TX/CK clock pin and is shifted into the Receive Shift
Register (RSR). When a complete character is
receive d into the RSR, t he RCIF bit of the PIR1 reg ister
is set and the character is automatically transferred to
the two character receive FIFO. The Least Significant
eight bits of the top character in the receive FIFO are
available in RCREG. The RCIF bit remains set as long
as there are un-read characters in the receive FIFO.
16.3.1.5 Slave Clock
Synchronous data transfers use a separate clock line,
which is synchronous wi th the data. A device configured
as a slave receives the cloc k on the TX/CK line . The TX/
CK pin output driver is automatically disabled when the
device is configured for synchronous slave transmit or
receive operation. Serial dat a bits change on the leading
edge to ensure they are valid at the trailing edge of each
clock. One data bit is transferred for each clock cycle.
Only as many clock cycles should be received as there
are data bits.
16.3.1.6 Receive Overrun Error
The receive FIFO buffer can hold two characters. An
overrun error will be genera ted if a th ird charac ter , in it s
entirety, is received before RCREG is read to access
the FIFO. When this happens the OERR bit of the
RCSTA register is set. Previous data in the FIFO will
not be overwritten. The two characters in the FIFO
buffer can be read, however, no additional characters
will be recei ved until the erro r is cleared. The OERR bit
can only be cleared by clearing the overrun condition.
If the overrun error occurred when the SREN bit is set
and CREN is clear then the error is cleared by reading
RCREG. If the overrun occurred when the CREN bit is
set then th e error condit ion is cleared b y either clearin g
the CREN bit of the RCSTA register.
16.3.1.7 Receiving 9-bit Characters
The AUSAR T support s 9-bit chara cter receptio n. When
the RX9 bit of the RCSTA register is set, the AUSART
will shift 9-bits into the RSR for each character
received. The RX9D bit of the RCSTA register is the
ninth, and Most Significant, data bit of the top unread
charact er i n t he rec eiv e FIFO . Whe n r ead ing 9-bit data
from the receive FIFO buffer, the RX9D data bit must
be read befo re reading the 8 Le ast Signifi cant bit s from
the RCREG.
Address detection in Synchronous modes is not
supported, therefore the ADDEN bit of the RCSTA
register must be cleare d.
16.3.1.8 Synchronous Master Reception Set-
up:
1. Initialize the SPBRG re gister for the ap prop ria te
baud rate. Set or clear the BRGH bit, as
required, to achieve the desired baud rate.
2. Enable the synchronous master serial port by
setting bits SYNC, SPEN and CSRC.
3. Ensure bits CREN and SREN are clear.
4. If interrupts are desired, set the RCIE bit of the
PIE1 register and the GIE and PEIE bits of the
INTCON register.
5. If 9-bit reception is desired, set bit RX9.
6. Verify address detection is disabled by clearing
the ADDEN bit of the RCSTA register.
7. Start reception by setting the SREN bit or for
continuous reception, set the CREN bit.
8. Interrupt f lag bit RCIF of th e PIR1 regist er will be
set when reception of a character is complete.
An interrupt will be generated if the RCIE inter-
rupt enable bit of the PIE1 register was set.
9. Read the RCSTA register to get the ninth bit (if
enabled) and determine if any error occurred
during reception.
10. Read the 8-bit received data by reading the
RCREG register.
11. If an overrun error occurs, clear the error by
either clearing the CREN bit of the RCSTA
register or by clearing the SPEN bit, which
resets the AUSART.

16.3.2 SYNCHRONOUS SLAVE MODE
The following bits are used to configure the AUSART
for Synchronous slave operation:
SYNC = 1
CSRC = 0
SREN = 0 (for transmit); SREN = 1 (for receive)
CREN = 0 (for transmit); CREN = 1 (for receive)
SPEN = 1
Setting the SYNC bit of the TXSTA register configures
the device for synchronous operation. Clearing the
CSRC bit of the TXSTA register configures the device as
a slave. Clearing the SREN and CREN bits of the RCST A
regis ter ensures that the device is in the Transmit mode,
otherwise the device will be configured to receive. Setting
the SPEN bit of the RCSTA register enables the
AUSART.
16.3.2.1 AUSART Synchronous Slave
Transmit
The operation of the Synchronous Master and Slave
modes are identical (refer to Section 16.3.1.2
“Synchronous Master Transmission”), except in the
case of the Sleep mode.
If two words are written to the TXREG and then the
SLEEP instruction is executed, the following will occur:
1. The first character will immediately transfer to
the TSR register and transmit.
2. The seco nd word will rem ain in TXRE G registe r .
3. The TXIF bit will not be set.
4. After the first character has been shifted out of
TSR, the TXREG register will transfer the second
character to the TSR and the TXIF bit will now be
set.
5. If the PEIE and TXIE bits are set, the interrupt
will wa ke the dev ice from Sleep and e xecute the
next instruction. If the GIE bit is also set, the
program will call the Interrupt Service Routine.
16.3.2.2 Synchronous Slave T ransmission
Set-up:
1. Set the SYNC and SPEN bits and clear the
CSRC bit.
2. Clear the CREN and SREN bits.
3. If using interrup ts, ensu re that the GIE and PEIE
bits of the INTCON register are set and set the
TXIE bit.
4. If 9-bit transmission is desired, set the TX9 bit.
5. Enable transmission by setting the TXEN bit.
6. Verify address detection is disabled by clearing
the ADDEN bit of the RCSTA register.
7. If 9-bit transmission is selected, insert the Most
Significant bit into the TX9D bit.
8. Start transmission by writing the Least
Significant 8 bits to the TXREG register.

16.3.2.3 AUSART Synchronous Slave
Reception
The operation of the Synchronous Master and Slave
modes is identical (Section 16.3.1.4 “Synchronous
Master Reception”), with the following exceptions:
Sleep
CREN bit is always set, therefore the receiver is
nev er Idle
SREN bit, which is a “don’t care” in Slave mode
A character may be received while in Sleep mode by
setting the CREN bit prior to entering Sleep. Once the
word is rec eived, th e RSR regist er will tran sfer the da ta
to the RCREG register. If the RCIE interrupt enable bit
of the PIE1 register is set, the interrupt generated will
wake the device from Sleep and execute the next
instruction. If the GIE bit is also set, the program will
branch to the interrupt vector.
16.3.2.4 Synchronous Slave Reception Set-
up:
1. Set the SYNC and SPEN bits and clear the
CSRC bit.
2. If interrupts are desired, set the RCIE bit of the
PIE1 register and the GIE and PEIE bits of the
INTCON register.
3. If 9-bit reception is desired, set the RX9 bit.
4. Verify address detection is disabled by clearing
the ADDEN bit of the RCSTA register.
5. Set the CREN bit to enable reception.
6. The RCIF bit of the PIR1 register will be set
when re ce pt io n i s co mp le te . An i n t err u pt wil l be
generated if the RCIE bit of the PIE1 register
was set.
7. If 9-bit mode is enabled, retrieve the Most
Significant bit from the RX9D bit of the RCSTA

8. Retrieve the 8 Least Significant bits from the
receive FIFO by reading the RCREG register.
9. If an overrun error occurs, clear the error by
either clearing the CREN bit of the RCSTA

16.4 AUSART Operation During Sleep
The AUSAR T will remain active during Sleep only in th e
Synchronous Slave mode. All other modes require the
system clock and therefore cannot generate the
necessary signals to run the Transmit or Receive Shift
registers during Sleep.
Synchronous Slave mode uses an exte rnally generated
clock to run the Transmit and R eceive Shift regis ters.
16.4.1 SYNCHRONOUS RECEIVE DURING
SLEEP
To receive during Sleep, all the following conditions
must be met before entering Sleep mode:
RCSTA and TXSTA Control registers must be
configured for Synchronous Slave Reception
(refer to Section 16.3.2.4 “Synchronous Slave
Reception Set-up:”).
If interrupts are desired, set the RCIE bit of the
PIE1 regi ster and the PEIE bit of the INTCON
register.
The RCIF interrupt flag must be cleared by read-
ing RCREG to unload any pending characters in
the receive buffer.
Upon entering Sleep mode, the device will be ready to
accept data and clocks on the RX/DT and TX/CK pins,
respectively. When the da ta word has b een c om ple tel y
clocked in by the external device, the RCIF interrupt
flag bi t of th e PIR1 regis ter will be s et. The reb y, waking
the processor from Sleep.
Upon waking from Sleep, the instruction following the
SLEEP instruction will be executed. If the GIE global
interrupt enable bit of the INTCON register is also set,
then the Interrupt Service Routine at address 0004h
will be called.
16.4.2 SYNCHRONOUS TRANSMIT
DURING SLEEP
To transmit during Sleep, all the following conditions
must be met before entering Sleep mode:
RCSTA and TXSTA Control registers must be
configured for Synchronous Slave Transmission
(refer to Section 16.3.2.2 “Synchronous Slave
Transmission Set-up:”).
The TXIF inte rrup t fl ag mu st be clea red by w rit ing
the output data to the TXREG, thereby filling the
TSR and transmit buffer.
If interrupts are desired, set the TXIE bit of the
PIE1 register and the PEIE bit of the INTCON
register.
Upon entering Sleep mode, the device will be ready to
accept clocks on TX/CK pin and transmit data on the
RX/DT pin. When the data word in the TSR has been
completely clocked out by the external device, the
pending byte in the TXREG will tra nsfer to the TSR an d
the TXIF flag will be set. Thereby, waking the processor
from Sleep. At this point, the TXREG is available to
accept another character for transmission, which will
clear the TXIF flag.
Upon waking from Sleep, the instruction following the
SLEEP instruction will be executed. If the GIE global
interrupt enable bit is also set th en the Interrupt Service
Routine at address 0004h will be called.

The SPI m ode allow s 8 bits o f data to be sync hronously
transmitted and received, simultaneously. The SSP
module can be operated in one of two SPI modes:
Master mode
Slave mode
SPI is a full-duplex protocol, with all communication
being bidirectional and initiated by a mas ter device. All
clocking is provided by the master device and all bits
are transmitted, MSb first. Care must be taken to
ensure that all devices on the SPI bus are setup to
allow all controllers to send and receive data at the
same time.
A typical SPI connection between microcontroller
devices is shown in Figure 17-1. Addressing of more
than one slave device is accomplished via multiple
hardware slave select lines. External hardware and
additional I/O pins must be used to support multiple
slave select addressing. This prevents extra overhead
in software for communication.
For SPI communication, typically three pins are used:
Serial Data Out (SDO)
Serial Data In (SDI)
Seri al Cl ock (S CK)
Additionally, a fourth pin may be used when in a Slave
mode of operation:
Slave Select (S S)

17.1.1 MASTER MODE
In Master mode, data transfer can be initiated at any
time bec ause the master contro ls th e SCK line. Mas ter
mode determines when the slave (Figure 17-1,
Processor 2 ) transmit s d at a via control of the SC K lin e.
17.1.1.1 Master Mode Operation
The SSP consists of a transmit/receive shift register
(SSPSR) and a buffer register (SSPBUF). The SSPSR
register shifts the data in and out of the device, MSb
first. The SSPBUF regis ter hold s the d ata t hat is wr itten
out of the master until the received data is ready. Once
the eight bits of data have been received, the byte is
moved to the SSPBUF register. The Buffer Full Status
bit, BF of the SSPSTAT register, and the SSP Interrupt
Flag bi t, SSP IF of the PIR1 reg is te r, are then set.
Any write to the SSPBUF register during
transmission/reception of data will be ignored and the
Write Collision Detect bit, WCOL of the SSPCON
register , will be set. User software must clear the WCOL
bit so that it can be determined if the following write(s)
to the SSPBUF register completed successfully.
When the application software is expecting to receive
valid da ta, the SSPBUF shoul d be read before th e next
byte of d ata is written to the SSPBUF. The BF bit of the
SSPSTAT register is set 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. The SSP interrupt may be used to
determine when the transmission/reception is
complete and the SSPBUF must be read and/or
written. If interrupts are not used, then software polling
can be done to ensure that a write collision does not
occur . Example 17-1 shows the loa ding of the SSPBUF
(SSPSR) for data transmission.
17.1.1.2 Enabling Master I/O
To enable the serial port, the SSPEN bit of the
SSPCON register, must be set. To reset or reconfigure
SPI mode, clear the SSPEN bit, re-initialize the
SSPCON register and then set the SSPEN bit. If a
Master mode of operation is selecte d in the SSPM bit s
of the SSPCON register, the SDI, SDO and SCK pins
will be assigned as serial port pi ns.
For thes e pi ns to function as serial p ort pi ns, they m us t
have their corresponding data direction bits set or
cleared in the associated TRIS register as follows:
SDI configured as input
SDO conf igu red as output
SCK configured as output
17.1.1. 3 Ma ster Mod e Setup
In Master mode, the data is transmitted/received as
soon as the SSPBUF register is loaded with a byte
value. If the master is onl y going to receive, SDO output
could be disabled (programmed and used as an input).
The SSPSR register will continue to shift in the signal
present on the SDI pin at the programmed clock rat e .
When initializing SPI Master mode operation, several
options need to be specified. This is accomplished by
programming the appropriate control bits in the
SSPCON and SSPSTAT registers. These control bits
allow the following to be specified:
SCK as clock output
Idle state of SCK (CKP bit)
Data input sample phase (SMP bit)
Output data on rising/falling edge of SCK (CKE bit)
Clock bit rate
In Master mode, the SPI clock rate (bit rate) is user
selectable to be one of the following:
•F
OSC/4 (or TCY)
•F
OSC/16 (or 4 TCY)
•FOSC/64 (or 16 TCY)
(Timer2 output)/2
This allows a maximum data rate of 5 Mbps
(at FOSC =20MHz).
Figure 17-3 shows the waveforms for Master mode.
The clock polarity is selected by appropri ately pro gram-
ming the CKP bit of the SSPCON register. When the
CKE bit is set, the SDO data is valid before there is a
clock edge on SCK. The sample time of the input data
is shown based on the state of the SMP bit and can
occur at the middle or end of the data output time. The
time when the SSPBUF is loaded with the received
dat a is shown.
17.1.1.4 Sleep in Master Mode
In Master mode, all module clocks are halted and the
transmission/reception will remain in their current state,
paused, until the device wakes from Sleep. After the
device wakes up from Sleep, the module will continue
to transmit/receive data.
Note: The SSPSR is not directly readable or
writable and can only be accessed by
addressing the SSPBUF register.

17.1.2 SLAVE MODE
For any SPI device acting as a slave, the data is
transmitted and received as external clock pulses
appear on SCK pin. This external clock must meet the
minimum high and low times as specified in the
electrical specifications.
17.1.2.1 Slave Mode Operation
The SSP consists of a transmit/receive shift register
(SSPSR) and a buf fer register (SSPBUF). The SSPSR
shifts the data in and out of the device, MSb first. The
SSPBUF holds the data that was writ ten to the SSPSR
until the received data is ready.
The slave has no control as to when data will be
clocked in or out of the device. All data that is to be
transmitted, to a master or another slave, must be
loaded into the SSPBUF register before the first clock
pulse is received.
Once eight bits of data have been received:
Received byte is moved to the SSPBUF register
BF bit of the SSPSTAT register is set
SSPIF bit of the PIR1 register is set
Any write to the SSPBUF register during
transmission/reception of data will be ignored and the
Write Collision Detect bit, WCOL of the SSPCON
register, will be set. User software must clear the
WCOL bit so that it can be determined if the following
write(s) to the SSPBUF register completed
successfully.
The user’s firmware must read SSPBUF, clearing the
BF flag, or the SSPOV bit of the SSPCON register will
be set with the reception of the next byte and
communication will be disabled.
A SPI module tran smit s and rece ives at the sa me time,
occasionally causing dummy data to be
transmitted/received. It is up to the user to determine
which data is to be used and what can be discarded.
17.1.2.2 Enabling Slave I/O
To enable the serial port, the SSPEN bit of the
SSPCON register must be set. If a Slave mode of
operatio n is selec ted i n the SSPM bits of the SSPCON
register, the SDI, SDO, SCK pins will be assigned as
serial port pins.
For thes e pi ns to function as s eri al p ort pin s, th ey m ust
have their corresponding data direction bits set or
cleared in the associated TRIS register as follows:
SDI configured as input
SDO configured as output
SCK configured as input
Optionally, a fourth pin, Slave Select (SS) may be used
in Slave mode. Slave Select may be configured to
operate on one of the following pins via the SSSEL bit in
the APFCON register.
•RA5/AN4/SS
•RA0/AN0/SS
Upon selection of a Slave Select pin, the appropriate
bits must be set in the ANSELA and TRISA registers.
Slave Select must be set as an input by setting the
corresponding bit in TRISA, and digital I/O must be
enabled on the SS pin by clearing the corresponding bit
of the ANSELA register.
17.1.2.3 Slave Mode Setup
When initializing the SSP module to SPI Slave mode,
compati bility must be ensure d with the ma ster de vice.
This is done by programming the appropriate control
bits of the SSPCON and SSPSTAT registers. These
control bits allow the fo llow ing to be specified:
SCK as clock input
Idle state of SCK (CKP bit)
Data input sample phase (SMP bit)
Output data on rising/falling edge of SCK (CKE bit)
Figur e 17-4 and Figure 17-5 show exam ple wavefo rms
of Slave mode operation.

17.1.2.4 Slave Select Operation
The SS pin allows Synchronous Slave mode operation.
The SPI must be in Slave mode with SS pin control
enabled (SSPM<3:0> = 0100). The associated TRIS bit
for the SS pin must be set, making SS an input.
In Slave Select mode, when:
•SS
= 0, The device operates as s pecified in
Section 17.1.2 “Slave Mode”.
•SS
= 1, The SPI module is held in Reset and the
SDO pin will be tri-stated.
When the SPI m od ul e re sets, the bi t c oun ter i s cl eare d
to ‘0’. This can be done by either forcing the SS pin to
a high level or clearing the SSPEN bit. Figure 17-6
shows the timing waveform for such a synchronization
event.
17.1.2.5 Sleep in Slave Mode
While in Sleep mode, the slave can transmit/receive
data. The SPI Transmit/Recei ve Sh if t registe r o pe r ate s
asynchronously to the device on the externally supplied
clock source. This allows the device to be placed in
Sleep mode and data to be shifted into the SPI Trans-
mit/Receive Shift register. When all 8 bits have been
received, the SSP Interrupt Flag bit will be set and if
enabled, will wake the device from Sleep.
FIGURE 17-6: SLAVE SELECT SYNCHRONIZATION WAVEFORM
Note 1: When the SPI is in Slave mode with SS pin
control enabled (SSPM<3:0> = 0100), the
SPI module will reset if the SS pin is driven
high.
2: If the SPI i s used in Slave mode with C KE
set, the SS pin control must be enabled.
Note: SSPSR must be reinitialized by writing to
the SSPBUF register before the data can
be clocked out of the slave again.

17.2 I2C Mode
The SSP module, in I2C mode, implements all slave
functions, except general call support. It provides
inter rupts on S ta rt and S top bit s in hardware to fac ilitate
firmwa re im ple me nt ations of the mast er f unctions. The
SSP module implements the I2C Standard mode
specifications:
•I
2C Slave mode (7-bit address)
•I
2C Slave mode (10-bit address)
Start and Stop bit interrupts enabled to support
firmware Master mode
•Address masking
Two pins are used for dat a tra nsfer; th e SC L pi n (cl oc k
line) and the SDA pin (data line). The user must
configure the two pin’s data direction bits as inputs in
the appropriate TRIS register. Upon enabling I2C
mode, the I2C slew rate limiters in the I/O pads are
controlled by the SMP bit of SSPSTAT register. The
SSP module functions are enabled by setting the
SSPEN bit of SSPCON register.
Data is sampled on the rising edge and shifted out on
the fallin g edge of the cloc k. This ensu res that the SDA
signal is va lid dur ing the SCL hi gh tim e. The SC L cl ock
input must have minimu m high and low times for proper
operation. Refer to Section 23.0 “Electrical
Specifications”.
FIGURE 17-7: I2C™ MODE BLOCK
DIAGRAM
FIGURE 17-8: TYPICAL I2C™
CONNECTIONS
The SSP module has six registers for I2C operation.
They are:
SSP Control (SSPCON) register
SSP Status (SSPSTAT) register
Serial Receive/Transmit Buffer (SSPBUF) register
SSP Shift Register (SSPSR), not directly
accessible
SSP Address (SSPADD) register
SSP Address Mask (SSPMSK) register
17.2.1 HARDWARE SETUP
Selection of I2C mode, with the SSPEN bit of the
SSPCON register set, fo rces th e SCL an d SDA pi ns to
be open d rain, p rovided th ese pins are programme d as

17.2.2 START AND STOP CONDITIONS
During times of no data transfer (Idle time), both the
clock l ine (SCL ) and th e dat a line (SDA) are pulled high
through external pull-up resistors. The Start and Stop
conditions determine the start and stop of data trans-
missi on. Th e Start condition is d efi ned as a h igh -to-low
transition of the SDA line while SCL is high. The Stop
condition is defined as a low-to-high transition of the
SDA line while SCL is high.
Figure 17-9 shows the Start and Stop conditions. A
master device generates these conditions for starting
and terminating data transfer. Due to the definition of
the S t art and S top condit ions, when dat a is being trans-
mitted, the SDA line can only change state when the
SCL line is low.
FIGURE 17-9: START AND STOP CONDITIONS
17.2.3 ACKNOWLEDGE
After the valid reception of an addr ess or data byte, the
hardware automatically will generate the Acknowledge
(ACK) pulse and load the SSPBUF register with the
received value currently in the SSPSR register. There
are certain conditions that will cause the SSP module
not to generate this ACK pulse. They includ e any or all
of the following:
The Buffer Full bit, BF of the SSPSTAT register,
was set before the transfer was received.
The SSP Overflow bit, SSPOV of the SSPCON
register, was set be fore the tran sfer was recei ved.
The SSP Module is being operated in Firmware
Master mode.
In such a case, th e SSPSR regi ster value is no t loade d
into the SSPBUF, but bit SSPIF of the PIR1 register is
set. Table 17-2 shows the results of when a data
transfer byte is receiv ed, given the statu s of bits BF and
SSPOV. Flag b it BF is c leared by read ing the SSPBUF
register, while bit SSPOV is cleared through software.

17.2.4 ADDRESSING
Once the SSP module has been enabled, it waits for a
Start condition to occur. Following the Start condition,
the 8 bits are shifted into the SSPSR register. All
incoming bits are sampled with the rising edge of the
clock line (SCL).
17.2.4.1 7-bit Addressing
In 7-bit Addressing mode (Figure 17-10), the value of
register SSPSR<7:1> is compared to the value of reg-
ister SSPADD<7:1>. 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:
The SSPSR register value is loaded into the
SSPBUF register.
The BF bit is set.
•An ACK
pulse is generated.
SSP interrupt flag bit, SSPIF of the PIR1 register,
is set (interrupt is generated if enabled) on the
falling edge of the ninth SCL pulse.
17.2.4.2 10-bit Addressing
In 10-bit Address mode, two address bytes need to be
receive d by the slave (Figure 17-11). The fi ve Most Sig-
nifican t bits (MSbs ) of the fi rst a ddre ss byt e sp ec ify if it
is a 10-bit add ress. Th e R/ W bit of the SSPSTAT regis-
ter mus t s pec ify a w rite so the s lav e dev ic e w i ll rec eiv e
the seco nd addre ss byte. Fo r a 10 -bit add ress, th e first
byt e would equ al ‘1111 0 A9 A8 0’, where A9 and
A8 are the two MSbs of the address.
The sequ ence of e vents for 10-bit a ddress is as follows
for reception:
1. Load SSP ADD register with high byte of address.
2. Receive first (high) byte of address (bits SSPIF,
BF and UA of the SSPSTAT register are set).
3. Read the SSPBUF register (clears bit BF).
4. Clear the SSPIF flag bit.
5. Update the SSPADD register with second (low)
byte of address (clears UA bit and releases the
SCL line).
6. Receive low b yte of addr ess (bits SSPIF, BF an d
UA are set).
7. Update the SSPADD register with the high byte
of address. If match releases SCL line, this will
clear bit UA.
8. Read the SSPBUF register (clears bit BF).
9. Clear flag bit SSPIF.
If data is requested by the master, once the slave has
been addressed:

17.2.4. 3 Ad dres s Mask ing
The Address Masking register (SSPMSK) is only
accessible while the SSPM bits of the SSPCON
register are set to ‘1001’. In th is r egi ste r, the user can
select which bits of a received address the hardware
will compare when determining an address match. Any
bit that is set to a zero in the SSPMSK register, the
corresponding bit in the received address byte and
SSPADD register are ignored when determining an
address match. By default, the register is set to all
ones, requiring a complete match of a 7-bit address or
the lower eight bits of a 10-bit address.

17.2.5 RECEPTION
When th e R/W bit of the rece ived addres s byte is clear,
the master will write data to the slave. If an address
match occurs, the received address is loaded into the
SSPBUF register. An address byte overflow will occur
if that loaded address is not read from the SSPBUF
before the next complete byte is received.
An SSP interrupt is generated for each data transfer byte.
The BF, R/ W and D/A bits of the SSPSTAT register are
used to determine the st atus of th e last received b yt e.

17.2.6 TRANSMISSION
When the R/W bit of the received address byte is set
and an address match occurs, the R/W bit of the
SSPSTAT register is set and the slave will respond to
the master by reading out data. After the address match,
an ACK pulse is generated by the slave ha rdware and
the SCL pin is held low (clock is automatically stretched)
until the slave is ready to respond. See Section 17.2.7
“Clock Stretching. The data the slave will transmit
must be loaded into the SSPBUF register, which sets
the BF bit. The SCL li ne is released by setting the CKP
bit of the SSPCON register .
An SSP interru pt is generated for e ach transferred da ta
byte. The SSPIF flag bit of the PIR1 regi ster initiates an
SSP interrupt, and must be cleared by software before
the nex t byte is transmi tted. The BF bi t of the SSPSTA T
register is cleared on the falling edge of the 8th
received clock pulse. The SSPIF flag bit is set on the
falling edge of the ninth clock pulse.
Following the 8th falling clo ck edge, control of the SDA
line is released back to the master so that the master
can acknowl edge or not acknow ledge the response. If
the master sends a not acknowledge, the slave’s
transmission is complete and the slave must monitor for
the next Start condition. If the master acknowledges,
control of the bus is returned to the slave to transmit
another byte of data. Just as with the previous byte, the
clock is stretched by the slave, data must be loaded into
the SSPBUF and CKP must be set to release the clock
line (S CL ).

17.2.7 CLOCK STRETCHING
During any SCL low phase, any device on the I2C bus
may hold the SCL line low and delay, or pause, the
transmission of dat a. This “stretching” of a transmission
allows devices to slow down communication on the
bus. The SCL line must be constantly sampled by the
master to ensure that all devices on the bus have
released SCL for more data.
Stretching usually occurs after an ACK bit of a
transmi ssio n, d el ayi ng the fi rst bit of th e n ex t b yte . Th e
SSP module hardware automatically stretches for two
conditions:
After a 10-bit address byte is received (update
SSPADD register)
Anytime the CKP bit of the SSPCON register is
cleared by hardware
The module will hold SCL low until the CKP bit is set.
This all ows the use r slave so ftware to updat e SSPBUF
with data that may not be readily available. In 10-bit
addressing modes, the SSPADD register must be
updated after receiving the first and second address
bytes. The SSP module will hold the SCL line low until
the SSPADD has a byte written to it. The UA bit of the
SSPSTAT register will be set, along with SSPIF,
indicating an address update is needed.
17.2.8 FIRMWARE MASTER MODE
Master mode of operation is supported in firmware
using interrupt generation on the detection of the Start
and Stop conditions. The Stop (P) and Start (S) bits of
the SSPSTAT register are cleared from a Reset or
when the SSP module is disabled (SSPEN cleared).
The Stop (P) and Start (S) bits will toggle based on the
Start and Stop conditions. Control of the I2C bus may
be t aken when the P bit i s set or the bus is Idl e and both
the S and P bits are clear.
In Firmware Master mode, the SCL and SDA lines are
manipulated by s etting/clearing the correspo nding TRIS
bit(s). The output level is always low, irrespective of the
value(s) in the corresponding PORT register bit(s).
When transmitting a ‘1’, the TRIS bit must be set (input)
and a ‘0’, the TRIS bit must be clear (output).
The following events will cause the SSP Interrupt Flag
bit, SSPIF, to be set (SSP Interrupt will occur if
enabled):
Start condition
Stop condition
Data transfer byte transmitted/received
Firmware Master Mode of operation can be done with
either the Slave mode Idle (SSPM<3:0> = 1011), or
with either of the Slave modes in which interrupts are
enabled. When both master and slave functionality is
enabled, the software needs to differentiate the
source(s) of the interrupt.
Refer to Application Note AN554, “Software
Implementation of I2C™ Bus Master” (DS00554) for more
information.
17.2.9 MULTI-MASTER MODE
In Multi-Master mode, the interrupt generation on the
detection of the Start and Stop conditions allow the
determin ation of when the bu s is free. The S top (P) an d
S tart (S) bits are cl eared from a Reset or when the SSP
module is disabled. The Stop (P) and Start (S) bits will
toggle based on the Start and Stop conditions. Control
of the I2C bus may be taken when the P bit of the
SSPSTAT register is set or when the bus is Idle, and
both the S and P bits are 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 moni-
tored to see if the signal level is the expected output
level. This check only needs to be done when a high
level is output. If a high level is expected and a low level
is present, the device needs to release the SDA and
SCL lines (set TRIS bits). There are two stages where
this arbitration of the bus can be lost. They are the
Address Transfer and Data Transfer stages.
When the slav e log ic is enab led, th e sla ve co ntinue s to
receive. If arbitration was lost during the address
transfer stage, communication to the device may be in
progress. If addressed, an ACK pulse will be
generated. If arbitration was lost during the data
transfer stage, the device will need to re-transfer the
data at a later time.
Refer to Application Note AN578, “Use of the SSP
Module in the I2C™ Multi-Master Environment
(DS00578) for more information.

17.2.10 CLOCK SYNCHRONIZATION
When th e CKP bit is cleared, th e SCL output is held l ow
once it is sampled low. therefore, the CKP bit will not
stretch the SCL lin e unti l an exte rnal I2C master dev ice
has alread y asserted the SC L line low . The SCL outp ut
will remain low until the CKP bit is set and all other
devices on the I2C bus have released SCL. This
ensures that a write to the CKP bit will not violate the
minimum high time requirement for SCL
(Figure 17-14).
17.2.11 SLEEP OP ER AT IO N
While in Sleep mode, the I2C module can receive
addresses of data, and when an address match or
complete byte transfer occurs, wake the processor
from Sleep (if SSP interrupt is enabled).

18.0 PROGRAM MEMORY READ
The Flash program memory is readable during normal
operatio n over the ful l VDD range of the dev ice. To read
data from Program Memory, five Special Function
Registers (SFRs) are used:
•PMCON1
•PMDATL
•PMDATH
PMADRL
PMADRH
The value written to the PMADRH:PMADRL register
pair determines which program memory location is
read. The read operation will be initiated by setting the
RD bit of the PMCON1 register. The program memory
flash controller takes two instructions to complete the
read, causing the second instruction after the setting
the RD bit will be ignored. To avoid conflict with pro-
gram ex ecution, it is recommended that the two instruc-
tions following the setting of the RD bit are NOP. When
the read completes, the result is placed in the
PMDATLH:PMDATL register pair. Refer to
Example 18-1 for sample code.

19.0 POWER-DOWN MODE (SLEEP)
The Power-down mode is entered by executing a
SLEEP instruction.
If the Watchdog Timer is enabled:
WDT will be cleared but keeps running.
•PD bit of the STATUS register is cleared.
•TO bit of the STATUS register is set.
Oscillator driver is turned off.
Timer1 oscillator is unaffected
I/O ports maintain the status they had before
SLEEP was executed (driving high, low or high-
impedance).
For lowest current consumption in this mode, all I/O
pins should be either at VDD or VSS, with no external
circuitry drawing current from the I/O pin. I/O pins that
are hi gh-impedance i nputs sho uld be pulled high or low
externally to avoid switching currents caused by float-
ing inputs. The T0CKI input should also be at VDD or
VSS for lowest current consumption. The contribution
from on-chip pull-ups on PORTB should be considered.
The MCLR pin must be at a logic high level when
external MCLR is enabled.
19.1 Wake-up from Sleep
The devi ce can wa ke-up from Sleep through 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 RB0/INT pin, PORTB change or a
peripheral interrupt.
The firs t event wi ll ca use a de vice Res et. The two latter
events are considered a continuation of program
execution. The TO and PD bits in the STATUS register
can be used to determine the cause of device Reset.
The PD bit , whi ch i s set on pow er-u p, is clea red w hen
Sleep is invoked. TO bit is cleared if WDT wake-up
occurred.
The follo wing periphe ral interrupt s can wake the device
from Sleep:
1. TMR1 Interru pt. Timer1 must be operatin g as an
asynchronous counter.
2. USART Receive Interrupt (Synchronous Slave
mode only)
3. A/D conversion (when A/D clock source is RC)
4. Interrupt-on-change
5. External Interrupt from INT pin
6. Capture event on CCP1 or CCP2
7. SSP Interrupt in SPI or I2C 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 interrupt eve nt, the co rres pon din g
interrupt enable bit must be set (enabled). Wake-up is
regardless of the state of the GIE bit. If the GIE bit is
clear (disabled), the device continues execution at the
ins tructi on afte r the SLEEP instruction. If the GIE bit is
set (enabled) , th e device e x ecutes t he instructi on after
the SLEEP instruction, then branches to the interrupt
address (0004h). In cases where the execution of the
instruction following SLEEP is not desirable, the user
should hav e a NOP after the SLEEP instruct ion.
The WDT is cleared when the device wakes up from
Sleep, regardless of the source of wake-up.
Note: A Reset generated by a WDT time-out
does not drive MCLR pin low. Note: If t he glob al inte rrupt s ar e disa bled (GIE i s
cleared ), but any interrup t source has bo th
it s interrupt enabl e bit and the corres pond-
ing interrupt flag bits set, the device will
immediately wake-up from Sleep. The
SLEEP instruct ion is completely executed .

19.2 Wake-up Using Interrupts
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 instructi on will
complete as a NOP. Therefore, the WD T and WDT
prescaler and postscaler (if enabled) will not be
cleared, the TO bit will not be set and the PD bit
will not be cleared.
If the interrupt occurs during or after the
execution of a SLEEP ins truc ti on, the devic e will
immediately wake-up from Sleep. T he SLEEP
instruc tio n wi ll be completely execute d before the
wake-u p. Therefore, the WDT and WD T prescaler
and pos tsc aler (i f enabl ed) wi ll be cle ared, the T O
bit will be set and the PD bit will be clea red.
Even if the flag bits were checked before executing a
SLEEP instruction, it may be possible for flag bits to
become set before the SLEEP instruction completes.
To determine whether a SLEEP instruction executed,
test the PD bit. If the PD bit is s et, the SLEEP instruction
was executed as a NOP.
To ensure that the WDT is cleared, a CLRWDT instru ction
should be executed before a SLEEP instruction.

20.0 IN-CIRCUIT SERIAL
PROGRAMMING™ (ICSP™)
ICSP™ programming allows customers to manufacture
circuit boards with unprogrammed devices. Programming
can be done after the assembly process allowing the
device to be p ro gramme d w ith t he most recen t f irm war e
or a custom firmware. Fiv e pins are need ed for ICSP™
programming:
ICSPCLK
ICSPDAT
•MCLR
/VPP
•VDD
•VSS
The device is placed into Program/Verify mode by
holding the ICSPCLK and ICSPDAT pins low then
raising the voltage on MCLR/VPP from 0v to VPP. In
Program/Verify mode the Program Memory, User IDs
and the Configuration Words are programmed through
serial communications. The ICSPDAT pin is a
bidirectional I/O used for transferring the serial data and
the ISCPCLK pin is the clock input. For more inform ation
on ICSP™ refer to the “PIC16F72x/PIC16LF72x
Programmin g Spe cif ica tion (DS41332).
FIGURE 20-1: TYPICAL CONNECTION FOR ICSP™ PROGRAMMING
Note: The IC D 2 produces a VPP voltage greater
than the m aximum VPP sp ecification of th e
PIC16F72X/PIC16LF72X. When using
this programmer, an external circuit, such
as the AC164112 MPLAB ICD 2 VPP volt-

PIC16F72X/PIC16LF72X
21.0 INSTRUCTION SET SUMMARY
The PIC16F72X/PIC16LF72X 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
is presented in Figure 21-1, while the various opcode
fields are sum m ariz ed in Table 21-1.
Table 21-2 lists the instructions recognized by the
MPASMTM assembler.
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
operation, while ‘f’ represents the address of the file in
which the bit is located.
For literal and control operations, ‘k’ represents an
8-bit or 11-bit constant, or literal value.
One instr uction cycle co nsists of four os cillator periods ;
for an oscillator frequency of 4 MHz, this gives a
nominal instruction execution time of 1 μs. All
instructions are executed within a single instruction
cycle, unless a conditional test is true, or the program
counter is changed 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 format0xhh’ to
represent a hexadecimal number, where ‘h’ signifies a
hexadecimal digit.
21.1 Read-Modify-Write Operations
Any instruction that specifies a file register as part of
the instruction performs a Read-Modify-Write (R-M-W)
operation. The register is read, the data is modified,
and the result is stored according to either the instruc-
tion, or the destination designator ‘d’. A read operation
is performed on a register even if the instruction writes
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 unin-
tended consequence of clearing the condition that set
the RBIF flag.

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

Note 1: When an I/O register is modified as a function of itself (e.g., MOVF PORTA, 1), the value used will be t hat 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 the Program Counter (PC) is modified, or a conditional test is true, the instruction requires two cycles. The second
cycle is executed as a NOP.
