PIC18F2423/2523/4423/4523
1.0 DEVICE OVERVIEW
This document contains device-specific information for
the following devices:
This family offers the advantages of all PIC18
microcontrollers – namely, high computational perfor-
mance at an economical price – with the addition of
high-endurance, Enhanced Flash program memory.
On top of these features, the PIC18F2423/2523/4423/
4523 family introduces design enhancements that
make these microcontrollers a logical choice for many
high-performance, power-sensitive applications.
1.1 New Core Features
1.1.1 nanoWatt TECHNOLOGY
All of the devices in the PIC18F2423/2523/4423/4523
family incorporate a range of features that can signifi-
cantly reduce power consumption during operation.
Key items include:
Alternate Run Modes: By clocking the controller
from the Timer1 source or the internal oscillator
block, power consumption during code execution
can be reduced by as much as 90%.
Multiple Idle Modes: The controller also can run
with its CPU core disabled and the peripherals still
active. In these states, power consumption can be
reduced even further, to as little as 4% of normal
operation requirements.
On-the-Fly Mode Switching: The power-managed
modes are invoked by user code during operation,
allowing the user to incorporate power-saving ideas
into their application’s software design.
Low Consumption in Key Modules: The power
requirements for both Timer1 and the Watchdog
Timer are minimized. See Section 4.0 “Electrical
Characteristics for values.
1.1.2 MULTIPLE OSCILLATOR OPTIONS
AND FEATURES
All of the devices in the PIC18F2423/2523/4423/4523
family offer ten different oscillator options, allowing
users a wide range of choices in developing application
hardware. These include:
Four Crystal modes, using crystals or ceramic
resonators.
Two External Clock modes, offering the option of
using two pins (oscillator input and a divide-by-4
clock output) or one pin (oscillator input, with the
second pin reassigned as general I/O).
Two External RC Oscillator modes with the same
pin options as the External Clock modes.
An internal oscillator block that offers eight clock
frequencies: an 8 MHz clock and an INTRC source
(approximately 31 kHz), as well as a range of six
user-selectable clock frequencies, between
125 kHz to 4 MHz. This option frees the two
oscillator pins for use as additional general
purpose I/O.
A Phase Lock Loop (PLL) frequency multiplier,
available to both the High-Speed Crystal and
Internal Oscillator modes, allowing clock speeds
of up to 40 MHz from the HS clock source. Used
with the internal oscillator, the PLL gives users a
complete selection of clock speeds, from 31 kHz
to 32 MHz, all without using an external crystal or
clock circuit.
Besides its availability as a clock source, the internal
oscillator block provides a stable reference source that
gives the family additional features for robust
operation:
Fail-Safe Clock Monitor: Constantly monitors
the main clock source against a reference signal
provided by the internal oscillator. If a clock failure
occurs, the controller is switched to the internal
oscillator block, allowing for continued operation
or a safe application shutdown.
Two-Speed Start-up: Allows the internal oscillator
to serve as the clock source from Power-on Reset,
or wake-up from Sleep mode, until the primary clock
source is available.

Note: This data sheet documents only the devices
features and specifications that are in addition
to, or different from, the features and specifi-
cations of the PIC18F2420/2520/4420/4520
devices. For information on the features and
specifications shared by the PIC18F2423/
2523/4423/4523 and PIC18F2420/2520/

1.2 Other Special Features
12-Bit A/D Converter: This module incorporates
programmable acquisition time, allowing for a
channel to be selected and a conversion to be
initiated without waiting for a sampling period,
thereby reducing code overhead.
Memory Endurance: The Enhanced Flash cells
for both program memory and data EEPROM are
rated to last for many thousands of erase/write
cycles – up to 100,000 for program memory and
1,000,000 for EEPROM. Data retention without
refresh is conservatively estimated to be greater
than 40 years.
Self-Programmability: These devices can write
to their own program memory spaces under inter-
nal software control. By using a bootloader routine
located in the protected Boot Block at the top of
program memory, it is possible to create an
application that can update itself in the field.
Extended Instruction Set: The PIC18F2423/
2523/4423/4523 family introduces an optional
extension to the PIC18 instruction set that adds
eight new instructions and an Indexed Addressing
mode. This extension, enabled as a device con-
figuration option, has been specifically designed
to optimize re-entrant application code originally
developed in high-level languages, such as C.
Enhanced CCP module: In PWM mode, this
module provides one, two or four modulated
outputs for controlling half-bridge and full-bridge
drivers. Other features include auto-shutdown, for
disabling PWM outputs on interrupt or other select
conditions, and auto-restart, to reactivate outputs
once the condition has cleared.
Enhanced Addressable USART: This serial
communication module is capable of standard
RS-232 operation and provides support for the
LIN/J2602 bus protocol. Other enhancements
include automatic baud rate detection and a 16-bit
Baud Rate Generator for improved resolution.
When the microcontroller is using the internal
oscillator block, the EUSART provides stable
operation for applications that talk to the outside
world without using an external crystal (or its
accompanying power requirement).
Extended Watchdog Timer (WDT): This
Enhanced version incorporates a 16-bit prescaler,
allowing an extended time-out range that is stable
across operating voltage and temperature. See
Section 4.0 “Electrical Characteristics” for
time-out periods.
1.3 Details on Individual Family

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

The value in the ADRESH:ADRESL registers is
unknown following POR and BOR Resets and is not
affected by any other Reset.
After the A/D module has been configured as desired,
the selected channel must be acquired before the
conversion is started. The analog input channels must
have their corresponding TRIS bits selected as inputs.
To determine acquisition time, see Section 2.1 “A/D
Acquisition Requirements”.
After this acquisition time has elapsed, the A/D conver-
sion can be started. An acquisition time can be
programmed to occur between setting the GO/DONE
bit and the actual start of the conversion.
The following steps should be followed to perform an A/D
conversion:
1. Configure the A/D module:
Configure analog pins, voltage reference and
digital I/O (ADCON1)
Select A/D input channel (ADCON0)
Select A/D acquisition time (ADCON2)
Select A/D conversion clock (ADCON2)
Turn on the A/D module (ADCON0)
2. Configure the A/D interrupt (if desired):
Clear ADIF bit
Set ADIE bit
Set GIE bit
3. Wait the required acquisition time (if required).
4. Start conversion by setting the GO/DONE bit
(ADCON0<1>).
5. Wait for the A/D conversion to complete by either:
Polling for the GO/DONE bit to be cleared
OR
Waiting for the A/D interrupt
6. Read the A/D Result registers (ADRESH:ADRESL)
and clear the ADIF bit, if required.
7. For the next conversion, go to step 1 or step 2,
as required.
The A/D conversion time per bit is defined as
T
AD. A minimum wait of 2 TAD is required before
the next acquisition starts.

2.1 A/D Acquisition Requirements
For the A/D Converter to meet its specified accuracy,
the charge holding capacitor (CHOLD) must be allowed
to fully charge to the input channel voltage level. The
analog input model is shown in Figure 2-3.
The source impedance (RS) and the internal sampling
switch (RSS) impedance directly affect the time
required to charge the capacitor, CHOLD. The sampling
switch (RSS) impedance varies over the device voltage
(VDD). The source impedance affects the offset voltage
at the analog input (due to pin leakage current). The
maximum recommended impedance for analog
sources is 2.5 kΩ.
After the analog input channel is selected (changed),
the channel must be sampled for at least the minimum
acquisition time before starting a conversion.
To calculate the minimum acquisition time, Equation 2-1
may be used. This equation assumes that 1/2 LSb error
is used (4,096 steps for the A/D). The 1/2 LSb error is the
maximum error allowed for the A/D to meet its specified
resolution.
Example 2-3 shows the calculation of the minimum
required acquisition time, T
ACQ. This calculation is
based on the application system assumptions shown in
Table 2-1:
EQUATION 2-1: ACQUISITION TIME
EQUATION 2-2: A/D MINIMUM CHARGING TIME
EQUATION 2-3: CALCULATING THE MINIMUM REQUIRED ACQUISITION TIME
Note: When the conversion is started, the
holding capacitor is disconnected from the
input pin.

2.2 Selecting and Configuring
Acquisition Time
The ADCON2 register allows the user to select an
acquisition time that occurs each time the GO/DONE
bit is set. It also gives users the option of having an
automatically determined acquisition time.
Acquisition time may be set with the ACQT<2:0> bits
(ADCON2<5:3>), which provide a range of 2 to 20 TAD.
When the GO/DONE bit is set, the A/D module con-
tinues to sample the input for the selected acquisition
time, then automatically begins a conversion. Since the
acquisition time is programmed, there may be no need
to wait for an acquisition time between selecting a
channel and setting the GO/DONE bit.
Manual acquisition time is selected when
ACQT<2:0> = 000. When the GO/DONE bit is set,
sampling is stopped and a conversion begins. The user
is responsible for ensuring the required acquisition time
has passed between selecting the desired input
channel and setting the GO/DONE bit. This option is
also the default Reset state of the ACQT<2:0> bits and
is compatible with devices that do not offer
programmable acquisition times.
In either case, when the conversion is completed, the
GO/DONE bit is cleared, the ADIF flag is set and the
A/D begins sampling the currently selected channel
again. If an acquisition time is programmed, there is
nothing to indicate if the acquisition time has ended or
if the conversion has begun.
2.3 Selecting the A/D Conversion
Clock
The A/D conversion time per bit is defined as TAD. The
A/D conversion requires 13 TAD per 12-bit conversion.
The source of the A/D conversion clock is software
selectable.
There are seven possible options for TAD:
For correct A/D conversions, the A/D conversion clock
(T
AD) must be as short as possible, but greater than the
minimum TAD. (For more information, see parameter 130
on page 41.)
Table 2-2 shows the resultant T
AD times derived from
the device operating frequencies and the A/D clock
source selected.

divider should be used instead; otherwise, the A/D accuracy specification may not be met.

conversion clock is determined in part by the clock
source and frequency while in a power-managed mode.
If the A/D is expected to operate while the device is in
a power-managed mode, the ADCS<2:0> bits in
ADCON2 should be updated in accordance with the
clock source to be used. The ACQT<2:0> bits do not
need to be adjusted as the ADCS<2:0> bits adjust the
T
AD time for the new clock speed. After entering the
mode, an A/D acquisition or conversion may be started.
Once started, the device should continue to be clocked
by the same clock source until the conversion has been
completed.
If desired, the device may be placed into the
corresponding Idle mode during the conversion. If the
device clock frequency is less than 1 MHz, the A/D RC
clock source should be selected.
Operation in Sleep mode requires the A/D FRC clock to
be selected. If bits, ACQT<2:0>, are set to ‘000’ and a
conversion is started, the conversion will be delayed
one instruction cycle to allow execution of the SLEEP
instruction and entry to Sleep mode. The IDLEN bit
(OSCCON<7>) must have already been cleared prior
to starting the conversion.
2.5 Configuring Analog Port Pins
The ADCON1, TRISA, TRISB and TRISE registers all
configure the A/D port pins. The port pins needed as
analog inputs must have their corresponding TRIS bits
set (input). If the TRIS bit is cleared (output), the digital
output level (VOH or VOL) will be converted.
The A/D operation is independent of the state of the
CHS<3:0> bits and the TRIS bits.
Note 1: When reading the PORT register, all pins
configured as analog input channels will
read as cleared (a low level). Analog con-
version on pins configured as digital pins
can be performed. The voltage on the pin
will be accurately converted.
2: Analog levels on any pin defined as a
digital input may cause the digital input
buffer to consume current out of the
device’s specification limits.
3: The PBADEN bit in Configuration
Register 3H configures PORTB pins to
reset as analog or digital pins by controlling
how the PCFG<3:0> bits in ADCON1 are
reset.

2.6 A/D Conversions
Figure 2-4 shows the operation of the A/D Converter
after the GO/DONE bit has been set and the
ACQT<2:0> bits are cleared. A conversion is started
after the following instruction to allow entry into Sleep
mode before the conversion begins.
Figure 2-5 shows the operation of the A/D Converter
after the GO/DONE bit has been set, the ACQT<2:0>
bits have been set to ‘010’ and a 4 T
AD acquisition time
has been selected before the conversion starts.
Clearing the GO/DONE bit during a conversion will abort
the current conversion. The A/D Result register pair will
NOT be updated with the partially completed A/D
conversion sample. This means, the ADRESH:ADRESL
registers will continue to contain the value of the last
completed conversion (or the last value written to the
ADRESH:ADRESL registers).
After the A/D conversion is completed or aborted, a
2T
CY wait is required before the next acquisition can
be started. After this wait, acquisition on the selected
channel is automatically started.
2.7 Discharge
The discharge phase is used to initialize the value of
the holding capacitor. The array is discharged before
every sample. This feature helps to optimize the unity-
gain amplifier, as the circuit always needs to charge the
capacitor array, rather than charge/discharge based on
previous measure values.

FIGURE 2-5: A/D CONVERSION TAD CYCLES (ACQT<2:0> = 010, TACQ = 4 TAD)
Note: The GO/DONE bit should NOT be set in
the same instruction that turns on the A/D.
Code should wait at least 3 TAD after
enabling the A/D before beginning an
acquisition and conversion cycle.

2.8 Use of the CCP2 Trigger
An A/D conversion can be started by the Special Event
Trigger of the CCP2 module. This requires that the
CCP2M<3:0> bits (CCP2CON<3:0>) be programmed
as ‘1011’ and that the A/D module is enabled (ADON
bit is set). When the trigger occurs, the GO/DONE bit
will be set, starting the A/D acquisition and conversion,
and the Timer1 (or Timer3) counter will be reset to zero.
Timer1 (or Timer3) is reset to automatically repeat the
A/D acquisition period with minimal software overhead
(moving ADRESH:ADRESL to the desired location).
The appropriate analog input channel must be selected
and the minimum acquisition period is either timed by
the user or an appropriate TACQ time is selected before
the Special Event Trigger sets the GO/DONE bit (starts
a conversion).
If the A/D module is not enabled (ADON is cleared), the
Special Event Trigger will be ignored by the A/D
module, but will still reset the Timer1 (or Timer3)
counter.

Note 1: Power dissipation is calculated as follows:
Pdis = VDD x {IDD IOH} + {(VDDVOH) x IOH} + (VOL x IOL)
2: Voltage spikes below VSS at the MCLR/VPP/RE3 pin, inducing currents greater than 80 mA, may cause
latch-up. Thus, a series resistor of 50-100Ω should be used when applying a “low” level to the MCLR/VPP/
RE3 pin, rather than pulling this pin directly to VSS.
Note: Other than some basic data, this section documents only the PIC18F2423/2523/4423/4523 devices’ specifi-
cations that differ from those of the PIC18F2420/2520/4420/4520 devices. For detailed information on the
