PIC17C7XX
1.0 OVERVIEW
This data sheet covers the PIC17C7XX group of the
PIC17CXXX family of microcontrollers. The following
devices are discussed in this data sheet:
PIC17C752
PIC17C756A
PIC17C762
PIC17C766
The PIC17C7XX devices are 68/84-pin,
EPROM-based members of the versatile PIC17CXXX
family of low-cost, high-performance, CMOS,
fully-static, 8-bit microcontrollers.
All PICmicro™ microcontrollers employ an advanced
RISC architecture. The PIC17CXXX has enhanced
core features , 16-lev el deep stack, and multiple internal
and external interrupt sources. The separate instruc-
tion and data buses of the Harvard architecture allow a
16-bit wide instruction word with a separate 8-bit wide
data path. The tw o stage instruction pipeline allows all
instructions to ex ecute in a single cycle , except for pro-
gram branches (which require tw o cycles). A total of 58
instructions (reduced instruction set) are available.
Additionally, a large register set gives some of the
architectural innovations used to achieve a very high
performance. For mathematical intensive applications
all devices have a single cycle 8 x 8 Hardware Multi-
plier.
PIC17CXXX microcontrollers typically achieve a 2:1
code compression and a 4:1 speed improvement over
other 8-bit microcontrollers in their class.
PIC17C7XX devices have up to 902 bytes of RAM and
66
I/O
pins. In addition, the PIC17C7XX adds several
peripheral features useful in many high performance
applications including:
Four timer/counters
Four capture inputs
Three PWM outputs
Two independent Universal Synchronous Asyn-
chronous Receiver Transmitters (USARTs)
An A/D converter (multi-channel, 10-bit resolu-
tion)
A Synchronous Serial Port
(SPI and I
2
C w/ Master mode)
These special features reduce external components,
thus reducing cost, enhancing system reliability and
reducing power consumption.
There are four oscillator options , of which the single pin
RC oscillator provides a low-cost solution, the LF oscil-
lator is for lo w frequency crystals and minimizes pow er
consumption, XT is a standard crystal, and the EC is for
external clock input.
The SLEEP (power-down) mode offers additional
power saving. Wake-up from SLEEP can occur
through several external and internal interrupts and
device resets.
A highly reliable Watchdog Timer with its own on-chip
RC oscillator provides protection against software mal-
function.
There are four configuration options for the device
operational mode:
Microprocessor
Microcontroller
Extended microcontroller
Protected microcontroller
The microprocessor and extended microcontroller
modes allow up to 64K-words of external program
memory.
The device also has Brown-out Reset circuitry. This
allows a device reset to occur if the device V
DD
falls
below the Brown-out voltage trip point (BV
DD
). The
chip will remain in Brown-out Reset until V
DD
rises
above BV
DD
.
A UV-erasable CERQUAD-packaged version (compat-
ible with PLCC) is ideal f or code de v elopment while the
cost-effective One-Time Programmable (OTP) version
is suitable for production in any volume.
The PIC17C7XX fits perfectly in applications that
require extremely fast execution of complex software
programs. These include applications ranging from
precise motor control and industrial process control to
automotive , instrumentation, and telecom applications.
The EPROM technology mak es customization of appli-
cation programs (with unique security codes, combina-
tions, model numbers , parameter storage, etc.) fast and
convenient. Small footprint package options (including
die sales) make the PIC17C7XX ideal for applications
with space limitations that require high performance.
High speed execution, powerful peripheral features,
flexible I/O, and low power consumption all at low cost
make the PIC17C7XX ideal f or a wide range of embed-
ded control applications.
1.1 Family and Upward Compatibility
The PIC17CXXX family of microcontrollers have archi-
tectural enhancements over the PIC16C5X and
PIC16CXX families. These enhancements allow the
device to be more efficient in software and hardware
requirements. Refer to Appendix A for a detailed list of
enhancements and modifications. Code written for
PIC16C5X or PIC16CXX can be easily ported to
PIC17CXXX devices (Appendix B).
1.2 Development Support
The PIC17CXXX family is supported by a full-featured
macro assembler, a software simulator, an in-circuit
emulator, a universal programmer, a “C” compiler, and
fuzzy logic support tools. For additional information
see Section 19.0.

for a list of sources.
2.2 One-Time-Programmable (OTP)
Devices
The availability of OTP devices is especially useful for
customers expecting frequent code changes and
updates.
The OTP devices, packaged in plastic packages, per-
mit the user to program them once. In addition to the
program memory, the configuration bits must be pro-
grammed.
2.3 Quick-Turnaround-Production (QTP)
Devices
Microchip offers a QTP Programming Service for fac-
tory production orders. This ser vice is made available
for users who choose not to prog ram a medium to high
quantity of units and whose code patterns have stabi-
lized. The devices are identical to the OTP devices but
with all EPROM locations and configuration options
already programmed by the factory. Cer tain code and
prototype verification procedures apply before produc-
tion shipments are av ailab le . Please contact your local
Microchip Technology sales office for more details.
2.4 Serialized Quick-Turnaround
Production (SQTP
SM
) Devices
Microchip offers a unique programming service where
a few user-defined locations in each device are pro-
grammed with different serial numbers. The serial
numbers may be random, pseudo-random or sequen-
tial.
Serial programming allows each device to have a
unique number which can serve as an entry-code,
password or ID number.

2.5 Read Only Memory (ROM) Devices
Microchip offers masked ROM versions of several of
the highest volume parts, thus giving customers a low
cost option for high volume, mature products.
ROM devices do not allow serialization information in
the program memory space.
For infor mation on submitting ROM code, please con-
tact your regional sales office.
2.6 Flash Memory Devices
These devices are electrically erasable and, therefore,
can be offered in the low cost plastic package. Being
electrically erasable, these devices can be erased and
reprogrammed in-circuit. These devices are the same
for prototype development, pilot programs, as well as
production.
Note:
Presently, NO ROM versions of the
PIC17C7XX devices are available.

PIC17C7XX
3.0 ARCHITECTURAL OVERVIEW
The high performance of the PIC17CXXX can be attrib-
uted to a number of architectural features commonly
found in RISC microprocessors. To begin with, the
PIC17CXXX uses a modified Harvard architecture.
This architecture has the program and data accessed
from separate memories. So , the device has a progr am
memory bus and a data memory bus. This improves
bandwidth over traditional von Neumann architecture,
where program and data are fetched from the same
memory (accesses over the same bus). Separating
program and data memory further allows instructions
to be sized differently than the 8-bit wide data word.
PIC17CXXX opcodes are 16-bits wide, enab ling single
word instructions. The full 16-bit wide program mem-
ory bus fetches a 16-bit instruction in a single cycle. A
two-stage pipeline overlaps fetch and execution of
instructions. Consequently, all instructions ex ecute in a
single cycle (121 ns @ 33 MHz), except for program
branches and two special instructions that transf er data
between program and data memory.
The PIC17CXXX can address up to 64K x 16 of pro-
gram memory space.
The
PIC17C752
and
PIC17C762
integrate 8K x 16 of
EPROM program memory on-chip.
The
PIC17C756A
and
PIC17C766
integrate 16K x 16
EPROM program memory on-chip.
A simplified block diagram is shown in Figure 3-1. The
descriptions of the device pins are listed in Table 3-1.
Program execution can be internal only (microcontrol-
ler or protected microcontroller mode), external only
(microprocessor mode) or both (extended microcon-
troller mode). Extended microcontroller mode does not
allow code protection.
The PIC17CXXX can directly or indirectly address its
register files or data memory. All special function reg-
isters, including the Program Counter (PC) and Wor k-
ing Register (WREG), are mapped in data memory.
The PIC17CXXX has an orthogonal (symmetrical)
instruction set that makes it possible to carry out any
operation on any register using any addressing mode.
This symmetrical nature and lack of ‘special optimal sit-
uations’ make programming with the PIC17CXXX sim-
ple yet efficient. In addition, the learning curve is
reduced significantly.
One of the PIC17CXXX family architectural enhance-
ments from the PIC16CXX family allows two file regis-
ters to be used in some two operand instructions. This
allows data to be moved directly between two registers
without going through the WREG register. Thus
increasing performance and decreasing program
memory usage.
The PIC17CXXX devices contain an 8-bit ALU and
working register. The ALU is a general pur pose arith-
metic unit. It performs arithmetic and Boolean func-
tions between data in the working register and any
register file.
The WREG register is an 8-bit working register used for
ALU operations.
All PIC17CXXX devices have an 8 x 8 hardware multi-
plier . This multiplier gener ates a 16-bit result in a single
cycle.
The ALU is 8-bits wide and capable of addition, sub-
traction, shift, and logical operations . Unless otherwise
mentioned, arithmetic operations are two's comple-
ment in nature.
Depending on the instruction executed, the ALU may
affect the values of the Carry (C), Digit Carry (DC),
Zero (Z) and ov erflow (OV) bits in the ALUSTA register .
The C and DC bits operate as a borrow and digit borro w
out bit, respectively, in subtraction. See the
SUBLW
and
SUBWF
instructions for examples.
Signed arithmetic is comprised of a magnitude and a
sign bit. The overflow bit indicates if the magnitude
ov erflows and causes the sign bit to change state. That
is if the result of 8-bit signed operations is greater than
127 (7Fh) or less than -128 (80h).
Signed math can have greater than 7-bit values (mag-
nitude), if more than one byte is used. The overflow bit
only operates on bit6 (MSb of magnitude) and bit7 (sign
bit) of each byte v alue in the ALU . That is, the ov erflow
bit is not useful if trying to implement signed math
where the magnitude, for example, is 11-bits.
If the signed math values are greater than 7-bits (such
as 15-, 24- or 31-bit), the algorithm must ensure that
the low order b ytes of the signed value ignore the o v er-
flow status bit.
Example 3-1 shows an two cases of doing signed arith-
metic. The Carry (C) bit and the Overflow (OV) bit are
the most important status bits for signed math opera-
tions.

4.0 ON-CHIP OSCILLATOR
CIRCUIT
The internal oscillator circuit is used to generate the
device clock. Four device clock periods generate an
internal instruction clock (TCY).
There are four modes that the oscillator can oper ate in.
They are selected by the device configuration bits dur-
ing device programming. These modes are:
LF Low Frequency (FOSC <= 2 MHz)
XT Standard Crystal/Resonator Frequency
(2 MHz <= FOSC <= 33 MHz)
EC External Clock Input
(Default oscillator configuration)
RC External Resistor/Capacitor
(FOSC <= 4 MHz)
There are two timers that offer necessary delays on
power-up. One is the Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST),
intended to keep the chip in RESET until the crystal
oscillator is stable. The other is the Power-up Timer
(PWRT), which provides a fixed delay of 96 ms (nomi-
nal) on POR and BOR. The PWRT is designed to k eep
the part in RESET while the power supply stabilizes.
With these two timers on-chip, most applications need
no external reset circuitry.
SLEEP mode is designed to offer a very low current
power-down mode. The user can wake from SLEEP
through external reset, Watchdog Timer Reset or
through an interrupt.
Several oscillator options are made available to allow
the par t to better fit the application. The RC oscillator
option saves system cost while the LF crystal option
saves power. Configuration bits are used to select var-
ious options.
4.1 Oscillator Configurations
4.1.1 OSCILLATOR TYPES
The PIC17CXXX can be operated in f our different oscil-
lator modes. The user can program two configuration
bits (FOSC1:FOSC0) to select one of these four
modes:
LF Low Power Crystal
XT Crystal/Resonator
EC External Clock Input
RC Resistor/Capacitor
The main difference between the LF and XT modes is
the gain of the internal inverter of the oscillator circuit
which allows the different frequency ranges.
For more details on the device configuration bits, see
Section 17.0.
4.1.2 CRYSTAL OSCILLATOR / CERAMIC
RESONATORS
In XT or LF modes, a crystal or ceramic resonator is
connected to the OSC1/CLKIN and OSC2/CLKOUT
pins to establish oscillation (Figure 4-2). The
PIC17CXXX oscillator design requires the use of a par-
allel cut crystal. Use of a series cut crystal may give a
frequency out of the crystal manufacturers specifica-
tions.
For frequencies above 20 MHz, it is common for the
crystal to be an overtone mode cr ystal. Use of over-
tone mode crystals require a tank circuit to attenuate
the gain at the fundamental frequency. Figure 4-3
shows an example circuit.
4.1.2.1 OSCILLATOR / RESONATOR START-UP
As the device v oltage increases from Vss , the oscillator
will start its oscillations. The time required f or the oscil-
lator to start oscillating depends on many factors.
These include:
Crystal / resonator frequency
Capacitor values used (C1 and C2)
Device VDD rise time.
System temperature
Series resistor value (and type) if used
Oscillator mode selection of device (which selects
the gain of the internal oscillator inverter)
Figure 4-1 shows an example of a typical oscillator/
resonator start-up. The peak-to-peak voltage of the
oscillator waveform can be quite low (less than 50% of
device VDD) when the waveform is centered at VDD/2
(refer to par ameter #D033 and parameter #D043 in the
electrical specification section).

4.1.3 EXTERNAL CLOCK OSCILLATOR
In the EC oscillator mode, the OSC1 input can be
driven by CMOS drivers. In this mode, the
OSC1/CLKIN pin is hi-impedance and the
OSC2/CLKOUT pin is the CLKOUT output (4 TOSC).

4.1.4 EXTERNAL CRYSTAL OSCILLATOR
CIRCUIT
Either a prepackaged oscillator can be used or a simple
oscillator circuit with TTL gates can be built. Prepack-
aged oscillators provide a wide operating range and
better stability. A well-designed crystal oscillator will
provide good performance with TTL gates. Two types
of crystal oscillator circuits can be used: one with series
resonance, or one with parallel resonance.
Figure 4-5 shows implementation of a parallel resonant
oscillator circuit. The circuit is designed to use the fun-
damental frequency of the crystal. The 74AS04
inv erter performs the 180-degree phase shift that a par-
allel oscillator requires. The 4.7 k resistor provides
the negative feedback for stability. The 10 k potenti-
ometer biases the 74AS04 in the linear region. This
could be used for external oscillator designs.
FIGURE 4-5: EXTERNAL PARALLEL
RESONANT CRYSTAL
OSCILLATOR CIRCUIT
Figure 4-6 shows a series resonant oscillator circuit.
This circuit is also designed to use the fundamental fre-
quency of the crystal. The inverter performs a
180-degree phase shift in a series resonant oscillator
circuit. The 330 resistors provide the negative feed-
back to bias the inverters in their linear region.

4.1.5 RC OSCILLATOR
For timing insensitive applications, the RC device
option offers additional cost savings. RC oscillator fre-
quency is a function of the supply voltage, the resistor
(Rext) and capacitor (Cext) values, and the operating
temperature. In addition to this, oscillator frequency
will vary from unit to unit due to normal process param-
eter variation. Furthermore, the difference in lead
frame capacitance between package types will also
affect oscillation frequency, especially for low Cext val-
ues. The user also needs to take into account v ariation
due to tolerance of e xternal R and C components used.
Figure 4-7 shows how the R/C combination is con-
nected to the PIC17CXXX. For Rext values below
2.2 k, the oscillator operation may become unstable,
or stop completely. For very high Rext values (e.g.
1 M), the oscillator becomes sensitive to noise,
humidity and leakage. Thus, we recommend to keep
Rext between 3 k and 100 k.
Although the oscillator will operate with no external
capacitor (Cext = 0 pF), we recommend using values
above 20 pF for noise and stability reasons. With little
or no external capacitance, oscillation frequency can
vary dramatically due to changes in external capaci-
tances, such as PCB trace capacitance or package
lead frame capacitance.
See Section 21.0 for RC frequency variation from part
to par t due to normal process variation. The variation
is larger for larger R (since leakage current variation
will affect RC frequency more for large R) and for
smaller C (since variation of input capacitance will
affect RC frequency more).
See Section 21.0 for variation of oscillator frequency
due to VDD for given Rext/Cext values as well as fre-
quency variation due to operating temperature f or given
R, C, and VDD values.
The oscillator frequency, divided by 4, is available on
the OSC2/CLKOUT pin, and can be used for test pur-
poses or to synchronize other logic (see Figure 4-8 for
waveform).

4.1.5.1 RC START-UP
As the device voltage increases, the RC will immedi-
ately start its oscillations once the pin voltage levels
meet the input threshold specifications (parameter
#D032 and parameter #D042 in the electrical specifica-
tion section). The time required for the RC to start
oscillating depends on many factors. These include:
Resistor value used
Capacitor value used

4.2 Clocking Scheme/Instruction Cycle
The clock input (from OSC1) is internally divided by
four to generate four non-overlapping quadrature
clocks , namely Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4. Internally, the pro-
gram counter (PC) is incremented every Q1, and the
instruction is fetched from the program memory and
latched into the instruction register in Q4. The instruc-
tion is decoded and executed during the following Q1
through Q4. The clocks and instr uction execution flow
are shown in Figure 4-8.
4.3 Instruction Flow/Pipelining
An “Instruction Cycle” consists of four Q cycles (Q1,
Q2, Q3, and Q4). The instruction fetch and e x ecute are
pipelined such that fetch takes one instruction cycle
while decode and execute takes another instruction
cycle. However, due to the pipelining, each instruction
effectively executes in one cycle. If an instruction
causes the program counter to change (e.g. GOTO)
then two cycles are required to complete the instruction
(Example 4-1).
A fetch cycle begins with the program counter incre-
menting in Q1.
In the ex ecution cycle, the f etched instruction is latched
into the “Instruction Register (IR)” in cycle Q1. This
instruction is then decoded and executed during the
Q2, Q3, and Q4 cycles. Data memory is read during
Q2 (operand read) and written during Q4 (destination
write).

5.0 RESET
The PIC17CXXX differentiates between various kinds
of reset:
Power-on Reset (POR)
Brown-out Reset
MCLR Reset
WDT Reset
Some registers are not affected in any reset condition,
their status is unknown on POR and unchanged in any
other reset. Most other registers are forced to a “reset
state”. The TO and PD bits are set or cleared diff erently
in different reset situations as indicated in Table 5-3.
These bits, in conjunction with the POR and BOR bits,
are used in software to determine the nature of the
reset. See Table 5-4 for a full description of the reset
states of all registers.
When the device enters the "reset state" the Data
Direction registers (DDR) are forced set, which will
make the I/O hi-impendance inputs. The reset state of
some peripheral modules may force the I/O to other
operations, such as analog inputs or the system bus.
A simplified bloc k diagram of the on-chip reset circuit is
shown in Figure 5-1.
Note: While the device is in a reset state, the
internal phase clock is held in the Q1 state.
Any processor mode that allows external
execution will force the RE0/ALE pin as a
low output and the RE1/OE and RE2/WR
pins as high outputs.

(BOR)
5.1.1 POWER-ON RESET (POR)
The Power-on Reset circuit holds the device in reset
until VDD is above the trip point (in the range of 1.4V -
2.3V). The devices produce an internal reset for both
rising and falling VDD. To take advantage of the POR,
just tie the MCLR/VPP pin directly (or through a resistor)
to VDD. This will eliminate external RC components
usually needed to create Power-on Reset. A minimum
rise time for VDD is required. See Electrical Specifica-
tions for details.
Figure 5-2 and Figure 5-3 show two possible POR cir-
cuits.

Note 1: An external Power-on Reset circuit is
required only if VDD power-up time is too
slow. The diode D helps discharge the
capacitor quickly when VDD powers
down.
2: R < 40 k is recommended to ensure
that the voltage drop across R does not
exceed 0.2V (max. leakage current spec.
on the MCLR/VPP pin is 5 µA). A larger
voltage drop will deg rade VIH level on the
MCLR/VPP pin.
3: R1 = 100 to 1 k will limit any current
flowing into MCLR from external capaci-
tor C in the ev ent of MCLR/VPP pin break-
down due to Electrostatic Discharge
(ESD) or Electrical Overstress (EOS).

5.1.2 P OWER-UP TIMER (PWRT)
The Power-up Timer provides a fixed 96 ms time-out
(nominal) on power-up. This occurs from the rising
edge of the internal POR signal if VDD and MCLR are
tied, or after the first rising edge of MCLR (detected
high). The Power-up Timer operates on an internal RC
oscillator. The chip is kept in RESET as long as the
PWRT is active. In most cases the PWRT delay allows
VDD to rise to an acceptable level.
The power-up time dela y will v ary from chip to chip and
with VDD and temperature. See DC parameters for
details.
5.1.3 OSCILLATOR START-UP TIMER (OST)
The Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) provides a 1024
oscillator cycle (1024TOSC) delay whenever the PWR T
is inv oked or a wake-up from SLEEP e vent occurs in XT
or LF mode. The PWRT and OST operate in parallel.
The OST counts the oscillator pulses on the
OSC1/CLKIN pin. The counter only starts incrementing
after the amplitude of the signal reaches the oscillator
input thresholds. This delay allows the crystal oscillator
or resonator to stabilize before the device exits reset.
The length of the time-out is a function of the crys-
tal/resonator frequency.
Figure 5-4 shows the operation of the OST circuit. In
this figure the oscillator is of such a low frequency that
although enabled simultaneously, the OST does not
time-out until after the Power-up Timer time-out.

PIC17C7XX
5.1.4 TIME-OUT SEQUENCE
On power-up the time-out sequence is as follows: First
the internal POR signal goes high when the POR tr ip
point is reached. If MCLR is high, then both the OST
and PWRT timers start. In general the PWRT time-out
is longer, except with low frequency crystals/resona-
tors. The total time-out also varies based on oscillator
configuration. Table 5-1 shows the times that are asso-
ciated with the oscillator configuration. Figure 5-5 and
Figure 5-6 display these time-out sequences.
If the device v oltage is not within electrical specification
at the end of a time-out, the MCLR/VPP pin must be
held low until the voltage is within the device specifica-
tion. The use of an external RC delay is sufficient for
many of these applications.
The time-out sequence begins from the first rising edge
of MCLR.
Table 5-3 shows the reset conditions for some special
registers, while Table 5-4 shows the initialization condi-
tions for all the registers.

5.1.5 BROWN-OUT RESET (BOR)
PIC17C7XX devices ha ve on-chip Brown-out Reset cir-
cuitry . This circuitry places the device into a reset when
the device voltage falls below a trip point (BVDD). This
ensures that the device does not continue program
execution outside the valid operation range of the
device. Brown-out resets are typically used in AC line
applications or large battery applications where large
loads may be switched in (such as automotive).
The BODEN configuration bit can disable (if clear/pro-
grammed) or enable (if set) the Brown-out Reset cir-
cuitry. If VDD falls below BVDD (Typically 4.0V,
parameter #D005 in electrical specification section), for
greater than parameter #35, the bro wn-out situation will
reset the chip . A reset is not guaranteed to occur if VDD
falls belo w BVDD f or less than parameter #35. The chip
will remain in Brown-out Reset until VDD rises above
BVDD. The Power-up Timer and Oscillator Start-up
Timer will then be invoked. This will keep the chip in
reset the greater of 96 ms and 1024 TOSC. If VDD drops
below BVDD while the Power-up Timer/Oscillator
Start-up Timer is r unning, the chip will go back into a
Brown-out Reset. The Power-up Timer/Oscillator
Start-up Timer will be initialized. Once VDD rises above
BVDD, the Power-up Timer/Oscillator Start-up Timer
will start their time delays. Figure 5-10 shows typical
Brown-out situations.
In some applications, the Brown-out reset trip point of
the device may not be at the desired level. Figure 5-8
and Figure 5-9 are two examples of external circuitry
that may be implemented. Each needs to be evaluated
to determine if they match the requirements of the
application.
Note: Before using the on-chip brown-out for a
voltage supervisory function, please
review the electrical specifications to
ensure that they meet your requirements.

6.0 INTERRUPTS
PIC17C7XX devices have 18 sources of interrupt:
External interrupt from the RA0/INT pin
Change on RB7:RB0 pins
TMR0 Overflow
TMR1 Overflow
TMR2 Overflow
TMR3 Overflow
USART1 Transmit buffer empty
USART1 Receive buffer full
USART2 Transmit buffer empty
USART2 Receive buffer full
SSP Interrupt
SSP I2C bus collision interrupt
A/D conversion complete
Capture1
Capture2
Capture3
Capture4
T0CKI edge occurred
There are six registers used in the control and status of
interrupts. These are:
CPUSTA
INTSTA
PIE1
PIR1
PIE2
PIR2
The CPUSTA register contains the GLINTD bit. This is
the Global Interrupt Disable bit. When this bit is set, all
interrupts are disabled. This bit is part of the controller
core functionality and is described in the Section 6.4.
When an interrupt is responded to, the GLINTD bit is
automatically set to disable any fur ther interrupts, the
return address is pushed onto the stack and the PC is
loaded with the interrupt vector address. There are f our
interrupt vectors. Each vector address is for a specific
interrupt source (except the peripheral interrupts which
all vector to the same address). These sources are:
External interrupt from the RA0/INT pin
TMR0 Overflow
T0CKI edge occurred
Any peripheral interrupt
When program execution vectors to one of these inter-
rupt vector addresses (except for the peripheral inter-
rupts), the interrupt flag bit is automatically cleared.
Vectoring to the peripheral interrupt vector address
does not automatically clear the source of the interrupt.
In the peripheral interrupt service routine, the source(s)
of the interrupt can be deter mined by testing the inter-
rupt flag bits. The interrupt flag bit(s) must be cleared
in software before re-enabling interrupts to avoid infi-
nite interrupt requests.
When an interrupt condition is met, that individual inter-
rupt flag bit will be set regardless of the status of its cor-
responding mask bit or the GLINTD bit.
For exter nal interrupt events, there will be an interrupt
latency. For two cycle instructions, the latency could
be one instruction cycle longer.
The “return from interrupt” instruction, RETFIE, can be
used to mark the end of the interrupt ser vice routine.
When this instruction is ex ecuted, the stack is “POPed”,
and the GLINTD bit is cleared (to re-enable interrupts).

6.1 Interrupt Status Register (INTSTA)
The Interrupt Status/Control register (INTSTA) contains
the flag and enable bits for non-peripheral interrupts.
The PEIF bit is a read only, bit wise OR of all the periph-
eral flag bits in the PIR registers (Figure 6-5 and
Figure 6-6). Care should be taken when clearing any of the INTSTA
register enable bits when interrupts are enabled
(GLINTD is clear). If any of the INTSTA flag bits (T0IF,
INTF, T0CKIF, or PEIF) are set in the same instruction
cycle as the corresponding interrupt enable bit is
cleared, the device will vector to the reset address
(0x00).
Prior to disabling any of the INTSTA enable bits, the
GLINTD bit should be set (disabled).
Note: All interrupt flag bits get set by their speci-
fied condition, even if the corresponding
interrupt enable bit is clear (interrupt dis-
abled) or the GLINTD bit is set (all inter-
rupts disabled).

Register1 (PIR1) and Register2 (PIR2)
These registers contains the individual flag bits for the
peripheral interrupts.
Note: These bits will be set by the specified con-
dition, even if the corresponding interrupt
enable bit is cleared (interrupt disabled), or
the GLINTD bit is set (all interrupts dis-
abled). Before enabling an interrupt, the
user may wish to clear the interrupt flag to
ensure that the program does not immedi-
ately branch to the peripheral interrupt ser-
vice routine.

through their corresponding enable bits in the INTSTA
register. Peripheral interrupts need either the global
peripheral enable PEIE bit disabled, or the specific
peripheral enable bit disabled. Disabling the peripher-
als via the global peripheral enable bit, disables all
peripheral interrupts. GLINTD is set on reset (interrupts
disabled).
The RETFIE instruction clears the GLINTD bit while
forcing the Program Counter (PC) to the value loaded
at the Top of Stack.
When an interrupt is responded to, the GLINTD bit is
automatically set to disable any further interrupt, the
return address is pushed onto the stack and the PC is
loaded with the interrupt vector. There are four inter-
rupt vectors which help reduce interrupt latency.
The peripheral interrupt vector has multiple interrupt
sources. Once in the peripheral interrupt ser vice rou-
tine, the source(s) of the interrupt can be determined by
polling the interrupt flag bits. The peripheral interrupt
flag bit(s) must be cleared in software before
re-enabling interrupts to avoid continuous interrupts.
The PIC17C7XX devices have four interrupt vectors.
These vectors and their hardw are priority are shown in
Table 6-1. If two enabled interrupts occur “at the same
time”, the interrupt of the highest priority will be ser-
viced first. This means that the vector address of that
interrupt will be loaded into the program counter (PC).
TABLE 6-1: INTERRUPT

Note 1: Individual interrupt flag bits are set regard-
less of the status of their corresponding
mask bit or the GLINTD bit.
Note 2: Before disabling any of the INTSTA enable
bits, the GLINTD bit should be set
(disabled).
6.5 RA0/INT Interrupt
The external interrupt on the RA0/INT pin is edge trig-
gered. Either the rising edge, if the INTEDG bit
(T0STA<7>) is set, or the falling edge , if the INTEDG bit
is clear. When a valid edge appears on the RA0/INT
pin, the INTF bit (INTSTA<4>) is set. This interrupt can
be disabled by clearing the INTE control bit
(INTSTA<0>). The INT interrupt can wake the proces-
sor from SLEEP. See Section 17.4 for details on
SLEEP operation.
6.6 T0CKI Interrupt
The external interrupt on the RA1/T0CKI pin is edge
triggered. Either the rising edge, if the T0SE bit
(T0STA<6>) is set, or the falling edge , if the T0SE bit is
clear. When a valid edge appears on the RA1/T0CKI
pin, the T0CKIF bit (INTSTA<6>) is set. This interrupt
can be disabled by clearing the T0CKIE control bit
(INTSTA<2>). The T0CKI interrupt can wake up the
processor from SLEEP. See Section 17.4 for details on
SLEEP operation.
6.7 Peripheral Interrupt
The peripheral interrupt flag indicates that at least one
of the peripheral interrupts occurred (PEIF is set). The
PEIF bit is a read only bit, and is a bit wise OR of all the
flag bits in the PIR registers AND’ed with the corre-
sponding enable bits in the PIE registers . Some of the
peripheral interrupts can wake the processor from
SLEEP. See Section 17.4 for details on SLEEP opera-
tion.
6.8 Context Saving During Interrupts
During an interrupt, only the returned PC value is sav ed
on the stack. Typically, users may wish to sa ve k ey reg-
isters during an interrupt; e .g. WREG, ALUSTA and the
BSR registers. This requires implementation in soft-
ware.
Example 6-2 shows the saving and restoring of infor-
mation for an interrupt service routine. This is f or a sim-
ple interrupt scheme, where only one interrupt may
occur at a time (no interrupt nesting). The SFRs are
stored in the non-banked GPR area.
Example 6-2 shows the saving and restoring of infor-
mation for a more complex interrupt service routine.
This is useful where nesting of interrupts is required. A
maximum of 6 le vels can be done by this example . The
BSR is stored in the non-banked GPR area, while the
other registers would be stored in a particular bank.
Therefore 6 sa ves may be done with this routine (since
there are 6 non-banked GPR registers). These rou-
tines require a dedicated indirect addressing register,
FSR0 to be selected for this.
The PUSH and POP code segments could either be in
each interrupt ser vice routine or could be subroutines
that were called. Depending on the application, other
registers may also need to be saved.

PIC17C7XX
7.0 MEMORY ORGANIZATION
There are two memory blocks in the PIC17C7XX; pro-
gram memory and data memory. Each block has its
own b us, so that access to each bloc k can occur during
the same oscillator cycle.
The data memory can further be broken down into
General Purpose RAM and the Special Function Reg-
isters (SFRs). The operation of the SFRs that control
the “core” are described here. The SFRs used to con-
trol the peripheral modules are described in the section
discussing each individual peripheral module.
7.1 Program Memory Organization
PIC17C7XX devices have a 16-bit program counter
capable of addressing a 64K x 16 program memory
space. The reset vector is at 0000h and the interrupt
vectors are at 0008h, 0010h, 0018h, and 0020h
(Figure 7-1).
7.1.1 PROGRAM MEMORY OPERATION
The PIC17C7XX can operate in one of four possible
program memory configurations. The configuration is
selected by configuration bits. The possible modes
are:
Microprocessor
Microcontroller
Extended Microcontroller
Protected Microcontroller
The microcontroller and protected microcontroller
modes only allow internal execution. Any access
beyond the program memory reads unknown data.
The protected microcontroller mode also enables the
code protection feature.
The extended microcontroller mode accesses both
the internal program memory as well as external pro-
gram memory. Execution automatically switches
between internal and external memor y. The 16-bits of
address allow a progr am memory range of 64K-words.
The microprocessor mode only accesses the exter-
nal program memory. The on-chip program memory is
ignored. The 16-bits of address allo w a progr am mem-
ory range of 64K-words. Microprocessor mode is the
default mode of an unprogrammed device.
The different modes allow different access to the con-
figuration bits, test memory, and boot ROM. Table 7-1
lists which modes can access which areas in memory.
Test Memory and Boot Memory are not required for
normal operation of the device. Care should be taken
to ensure that no unintended branches occur to these
areas.

7.1.2 EXTERNAL MEMORY INTERFACE
When either microprocessor or extended microcontrol-
ler mode is selected, P ORTC, P ORTD and PORTE are
configured as the system bus . P ORTC and P ORTD are
the multiplexed address/data bus and PORTE<2:0> is
for the control signals. External components are
needed to demultiplex the address and data. This can
be done as shown in Figure 7-4. The waveforms of
address and data are shown in Figure 7-3. For com-
plete timings, please ref er to the electrical specification
section.
FIGURE 7-3: EXTERNAL PROGRAM
MEMORY ACCESS
WAVEFORMS
The system bus requires that there is no bus conflict
(minimal leakage), so the output value (address) will be
capacitively held at the desired value.
As the speed of the processor increases, external
EPROM memory with faster access time must be used.
Table 7-2 lists e xternal memory speed requirements for
a given PIC17C7XX device frequency.

In extended microcontroller mode, when the device is
executing out of internal memory, the control signals
will continue to be active. That is, they indicate the
action that is occurring in the internal memory. The
external memory access is ignored.
This following selection is for use with Microchip

7.2 Data Memory Organization
Data memory is partitioned into two areas. The first is
the General Purpose Registers (GPR) area, and the
second is the Special Function Registers (SFR) area.
The SFRs control and provide status of device opera-
tion.
Portions of data memory are banked, this occurs in
both areas. The GPR area is banked to allow greater
than 232 bytes of general purpose RAM.
Banking requires the use of control bits for bank selec-
tion. These control bits are located in the Bank Select
Register (BSR). If an access is made to the unbanked
region, the BSR bits are ignored. Figure 7-5 shows the
data memory map organization.
Instructions MOVPF and MOVFP provide the means to
mov e v alues from the peripheral area (“P”) to any loca-
tion in the register file (“F”), and vice-versa. The defini-
tion of the “P” range is from 0h to 1Fh, while the “F”
range is 0h to FFh. The “P” range has six more loca-
tions than peripheral registers which can be used as
General Purpose Registers. This can be useful in
some applications where variables need to be copied
to other locations in the general purpose RAM (such as
saving status information during an interrupt).
The entire data memory can be accessed either
directly or indirectly (through file select registers FSR0
and FSR1) (Section 7.4). Indirect addressing uses the
appropriate control bits of the BSR for accesses into
the banked areas of data memory. The BSR is
explained in greater detail in Section 7.8.
7.2.1 GENERAL PURPOSE REGISTER (GPR)
All devices ha ve some amount of GPR area. The GPRs
are 8-bits wide. When the GPR area is greater than
232, it must be banked to allo w access to the additional
memory space.
All the PIC17C7XX devices have banked memory in
the GPR area. To facilitate switching between these
banks, the MOVLR bank instruction has been added to
the instruction set. GPRs are not initialized by a
P ower-on Reset and are unchanged on all other resets.
7.2.2 SPECIAL FUNCTION REGISTERS (SFR)
The SFRs are used by the CPU and peripheral func-
tions to control the operation of the de vice (Figure 7-5).
These registers are static RAM.
The SFRs can be classified into two sets, those asso-
ciated with the “core” function and those related to the
peripheral functions. Those registers related to the
“core” are described here, while those related to a
peripheral feature are described in the section f or each
peripheral feature.
The peripheral registers are in the banked portion of
memory, while the core registers are in the unbanked
region. To facilitate switching between the peripheral
banks, the MOVLB bank instruction has been provided.

7.2.2.1 ALU STATUS REGISTER (ALUSTA)
The ALUSTA register contains the status bits of the
Arithmetic and Logic Unit and the mode control bits for
the indirect addressing register.
As with all the other registers, the ALUSTA register can
be the destination for any instruction. If the ALUSTA
register is the destination for an instruction that affects
the Z, DC, C, or OV bits, then the write to these three
bits is disabled. These bits are set or cleared according
to the device logic. Therefore, the result of an instruc-
tion with the ALUSTA register as destination may be
different than intended.
For e xample, the CLRF ALUSTA, F instruction will clear
the upper four bits and set the Z bit. This leaves the
ALUSTA register as 0000u1uu (where u = unchanged).
It is recommended, therefore , that only BCF, BSF, SWAPF
and MOVWF instructions be used to alter the ALUSTA
register because these instructions do not affect any
status bits. To see how other instructions affect the sta-
tus bits, see the “Instruction Set Summary.
The Arithmetic and Logic Unit (ALU) is capable of car-
rying out ar ithmetic or logical operations on two oper-
ands or a single operand. All single operand
instructions operate either on the WREG register or the
given file register. For two operand instructions, one of
the operands is the WREG register and the other is
either a file register or an 8-bit immediate constant.
Note 1: The C and DC bits operate as a borrow
and digit borrow bit, respectively, in sub-
traction. See the SUBLW and SUBWF
instructions for examples.
Note 2: The overflow bit will be set if the 2’s com-
plement result exceeds +127 or is less
than -128.

register.

7.2.2.2 CPU STATUS REGISTER (CPUSTA)
The CPUSTA register contains the status and control
bits for the CPU. This register has a bit that is used to
globally enable/disable interrupts. If only a specific
interrupt is desired to be enabled/disabled, please ref er
to the INTerrupt STAtus (INTSTA) register and the
Peripheral Interrupt Enable (PIE) registers. The
CPUSTA register also indicates if the stack is a vailable
and contains the Power-down (PD) and Time-out (TO)
bits. The TO, PD, and STKAV bits are not writable.
These bits are set and cleared according to device
logic. Therefore, the result of an instruction with the
CPUSTA register as destination may be different than
intended.
The POR bit allows the differentiation between a
Power-on Reset, external MCLR reset, or a WDT
Reset. The BOR bit indicates if a Brown-out Reset
occurred.
Note 1: The BOR status bit is a don’t care and is
not necessarily predictable if the
brown-out circuit is disabled (when the
BODEN bit in the Configuration word is
programmed).

7.2.2.3 TMR0 STATUS/CONTROL REGISTER
(T0STA)
This register contains various control bits. Bit7
(INTEDG) is used to control the edge upon which a sig-
nal on the RA0/INT pin will set the RA0/INT interrupt
flag. The other bits configure Timer0, it’ s prescaler and

7.3 Stack Operation
PIC17C7XX devices ha v e a 16 x 16-bit hardware stac k
(Figure 7-1). The stack is not part of either the program
or data memory space, and the stack pointer is neither
readable nor writable. The PC (Program Counter) is
“PUSHed” onto the stack when a CALL or LCALL
instruction is ex ecuted or an interrupt is acknowledged.
The stack is “POPed” in the event of a RETURN, RETLW,
or a RETFIE instruction execution. PCLATH is not
affected by a “PUSH” or a “POP” operation.
The stack operates as a circular buffer, with the stack
pointer initialized to '0' after all resets. There is a stack
available bit (STKAV) to allow software to ensure that
the stack will not o v erflo w. The STKAV bit is set after a
device reset. When the stack pointer equals Fh, STKA V
is cleared. When the stac k pointer rolls over from Fh to
0h, the STKA V bit will be held clear until a device reset.
After the device is “PUSHed” sixteen times (without a
“POP”), the seventeenth push overwrites the value
from the first push. The eighteenth push ov erwrites the
second push (and so on).
Note 1: There is not a status bit for stack under-
flow. The STKAV bit can be used to detect
the underflow which results in the stack
pointer being at the top of stack.
Note 2: There are no instruction 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 interr upt vec-
tor.
Note 3: After a reset, if a “POP” operation occurs
before a “PUSH” operation, the STKAV bit
will be cleared. This will appear as if the
stack is full (underflow has occurred). If a
“PUSH” operation occurs next (before
another “POP”), the STKAV bit will be
locked clear. Only a device reset will
cause this bit to set.

7.4 Indirect Addressing
Indirect addressing is a mode of addressing data
memory where the data memory address in the
instruction is not fixed. That is, the register that is to
be read or written can be modified by the program.
This can be useful for data tables in the data memor y.
Figure 7-9 shows the operation of indirect addressing.
This depicts the moving of the value to the data mem-
ory address specified by the value of the FSR register.
Example 7-1 shows the use of indirect addressing to
clear RAM in a minimum number of instructions. A
similar concept could be used to move a defined num-
ber of bytes (b lock) of data to the USART transmit reg-
ister (TXREG). The starting address of the block of
data to be transmitted could easily be modified by the
program.
FIGURE 7-9: INDIRECT ADDRESSING
7.4.1 INDIRECT ADDRESSING REGISTERS
The PIC17C7XX has four registers for indirect
addressing. These registers are:
INDF0 and FSR0
INDF1 and FSR1
Registers INDF0 and INDF1 are not physically imple-
mented. Reading or writing to these registers acti-
vates indirect addressing, with the value in the
corresponding FSR register being the address of the
data. The FSR is an 8-bit register and allows address-
ing anywhere in the 256-byte data memory address
range. For banked memory, the bank of memory
accessed is specified by the value in the BSR.
If file INDF0 (or INDF1) itself is read indirectly via an
FSR, all '0's are read (Zero bit is set). Similarly, if
INDF0 (or INDF1) is written to indirectly, the operation
will be equivalent to a NOP, and the status bits are not
affected.

7.4.2 INDIRECT ADDRESSING OPERATION
The indirect addressing capability has been enhanced
over that of the PIC16CXX family. There are two con-
trol bits associated with each FSR register. These two
bits configure the FSR register to:
Auto-decrement the value (address) in the FSR
after an indirect access
Auto-increment the value (address) in the FSR
after an indirect access
No change to the value (address) in the FSR after
an indirect access
These control bits are located in the ALUSTA register.
The FSR1 register is controlled by the FS3:FS2 bits
and FSR0 is controlled by the FS1:FS0 bits.
When using the auto-increment or auto-decrement
features, the effect on the FSR is not reflected in the
ALUSTA register. For example, if the indirect address
causes the FSR to equal '0', the Z bit will not be set.
If the FSR register contains a value of 0h, an indirect
read will read 0h (Zero bit is set) while an indirect write
will be equivalent to a NOP (status bits are not
affected).
Indirect addressing allows single cycle data transfers
within the entire data space. This is possible with the
use of the MOVPF and MOVFP instructions, where either
'p' or 'f' is specified as INDF0 (or INDF1).
If the source or destination of the indirect address is in
banked memory, the location accessed will be deter-
mined by the value in the BSR.
A simple program to clear RAM from 20h - FFh is
shown in Example 7-1.
EXAMPLE 7-1: INDIRECT ADDRESSING
MOVLW 0x20 ;
MOVWF FSR0 ; FSR0 = 20h
BCF ALUSTA, FS1 ; Increment FSR
BSF ALUSTA, FS0 ; after access
BCF ALUSTA, C ; C = 0
MOVLW END_RAM + 1 ;
LP CLRF INDF0, F ; Addr(FSR) = 0
CPFSEQ FSR0 ; FSR0 = END_RAM+1?
GOTO LP ; NO, clear next

7.5 Table Pointer (TBLPTRL and
TBLPTRH)
File registers TBLPTRL and TBLPTRH form a 16-bit
pointer to address the 64K program memory space.
The table pointer is used by instructions TABLWT and
TABLRD.
The TABLRD and the TABLWT instructions allow transf er
of data between program and data space. The table
pointer serves as the 16-bit address of the data word
within the program memory. For a more complete
description of these registers and the operation of T ab le
Reads and Table Writes, see Section 8.0.
7.6 Table Latch (TBLATH, TBLATL)
The table latch (TBLAT) is a 16-bit register, with
TBLATH and TBLATL referring to the high and low
bytes of the register. It is not mapped into data or pro-
gram memory. The table latch is used as a temporary
holding latch during data transfer between program
and data memory (see TABLRD, TABLWT, TLRD and
TLWT instruction descriptions). For a more complete
description of these registers and the operation of T ab le
Reads and Table Writes, see Section 8.0.

7.7 Program Counter Module
The Program Counter (PC) is a 16-bit register . PCL, the
low b yte of the PC, is mapped in the data memory . PCL
is readable and writable just as is any other register.
PCH is the high byte of the PC and is not directly
addressable . Since PCH is not mapped in data or pro-
gram memory, an 8-bit register PCLATH (PC high
latch) is used as a holding latch for the high byte of the
PC. PCLATH is mapped into data memor y. The user
can read or write PCH through PCLATH.
The 16-bit wide PC is incremented after each instruc-
tion fetch during Q1 unless:
Modified by a GOTO, CALL, LCALL, RETURN, RETLW,
or RETFIE instruction
Modified by an interrupt response
Due to destination write to PCL by an instruction
“Skips” are equivalent to a forced NOP cycle at the
skipped address.
Figure 7-10 and Figure 7-11 show the operation of the
program counter for various situations.

An 8-bit destination address is provided in the
instruction (opcode). PCLATH is unchanged.
PCLATH PCH
Opcode<7:0> PCL
b) Read instructions on PCL:
Any instruction that reads PCL.
PCL data bus ALU or destination
PCH PCLATH
c) Write instructions on PCL:
Any instruction that writes to PCL.
8-bit data data bus PCL
PCLATH PCH
d) Read-Modify-Write instructions on PCL:
Any instruction that does a read-write-modify
operation on PCL, such as ADDWF PCL.
Read: PCL data bus ALU
Write: 8-bit result data bus PCL
PCLATH PCH
e) RETURN instruction:
Stack<MRU> PC<15:0>
Using Figure 7-11, the operation of the PC and
PCLATH for GOTO and CALL instructions is as follows:
CALL, GOTO instructions:
A 13-bit destination address is provided in the
instruction (opcode).
Opcode<12:0> PC<12:0>
PC<15:13> PCLATH<7:5>
Opcode<12:8> PCLATH<4:0>
The read-modify-write only affects the PCL with the
result. PCH is loaded with the value in the PCLATH.
For example, ADDWF PCL will result in a jump within the
current page. If PC = 03F0h, WREG = 30h and
PCLATH = 03h before instruction, PC = 0320h after the
instruction. To accomplish a true 16-bit computed
jump , the user needs to compute the 16-bit destination
address, write the high byte to PCLATH and then write
the low value to PCL.
The following PC related operations do not change
PCLATH:
a) LCALL, RETLW, and RETFIE instructions.
b) Interrupt vector is forced onto the PC.
c) Read-modify-write instructions on PCL
(e.g. BSF PCL).

7.8 Bank Select Register (BSR)
The BSR is used to switch between banks in the data
memory area (Figure 7-12). In the PIC17C7XX
devices, the entire byte is implemented. The lower nib-
ble is used to select the peripheral register bank. The
upper nibble is used to select the general purpose
memory bank.
All the Special Function Registers (SFRs) are mapped
into the data memory space. In order to accommodate
the large number of registers, a banking scheme has
been used. A segment of the SFRs, from address 10h
to address 17h, is banked. The low er nibble of the bank
select register (BSR) selects the currently active
“peripheral bank.” Effor t has been made to group the
peripheral registers of related functionality in one bank.
Howe ver, it will still be necessary to switch from bank to
bank in order to address all peripherals related to a sin-
gle task. To assist this, a MOVLB bank instruction has
been included in the instruction set.
The need for a large general purpose memory space
dictated a general purpose RAM banking scheme. The
upper nibble of the BSR selects the currently active
general purpose RAM bank. To assist this, a MOVLR
bank instruction has been provided in the instruction
set.
If the currently selected bank is not implemented (such
as Bank 13), any read will read all '0's. Any write is
completed to the bit buc k et and the ALU status bits will
be set/cleared as appropriate.
Note: Registers in Bank 15 in the Special Func-
tion Register area, are reserved for
Microchip use. Reading of registers in this
bank may cause r andom values to be read.

8.0 TABLE READS AND TABLE
WRITES
The PIC17C7XX has four instructions that allow the
processor to move data from the data memory space
to the program memory space, and vice versa. Since
the program memory space is 16-bits wide and the
data memory space is 8-bits wide, two operations are
required to move 16-bit values to/from the data mem-
ory.
The TLWT t,f and TABLWT t,i,f instructions are
used to write data from the data memor y space to the
program memory space. The TLRD t,f and
TABLRD t,i,f instructions are used to write data
from the program memory space to the data memor y
space.
The program memory can be internal or external. For
the program memory access to be external, the device
needs to be operating in microprocessor or extended
microcontroller mode.
Figure 8-1 through Figure 8-4 show the operation of
these four instructions. The steps show the sequence
of operation.

8.1 Table Writes to Internal Memory
A table write operation to internal memory causes a
long write operation. The long write is necessary for
programming the internal EPROM. Instruction execu-
tion is halted while in a long write cycle. The long write
will be terminated by any enabled interrupt. To ensure
that the EPROM location has been well programmed,
a minimum programming time is required (see specifi-
cation #D114). Having only one interrupt enabled to
terminate the long wr ite ensures that no unintentional
interrupts will prematurely terminate the long write.
The sequence of events for programming an internal
program memory location should be:
1. Disable all interrupt sources, except the source
to terminate EPROM program write.
2. Raise MCLR/VPP pin to the programming volt-
age.
3. Clear the WDT.
4. Do the table write. The interrupt will terminate
the long write.
5. Verify the memory location (table read).
Note 1: Programming requirements must be
met. See timing specification in electrical
specifications for the desired device.
Violating these specifications (including
temperature) ma y result in EPROM loca-
tions that are not fully programmed and
may lose their state over time.
Note 2: If the VPP requirement is not met, the
table write is a 2 cycle write and the pro-
gram memory is unchanged.
8.1.1 TERMINATING LONG WRITES
An interrupt source or reset are the only events that
terminate a long wr ite operation. Terminating the long
write from an interrupt source requires that the inter-
rupt enable and flag bits are set. The GLINTD bit only
enables the vectoring to the interrupt address.
If the T0CKI, RA0/INT, or TMR0 interrupt source is
used to terminate the long write; the interrupt flag, of
the highest priority enabled interrupt, will terminate the
long write and automatically be cleared.
If a peripheral interrupt source is used to terminate the
long write, the interrupt enable and flag bits must be
set. The interrupt flag will not be automatically cleared
upon the vectoring to the interrupt vector address.
The GLINTD bit determines whether the program will
branch to the interrupt vector when the long write is
terminated. If GLINTD is clear, the program will vec-
tor, if GLINTD is set, the program will not vector to the
interrupt address.
Note 1: If an interrupt is pending, the TABLWT is
aborted (an NOP is executed). The
highest priority pending interrupt, from
the T0CKI, RA0/INT, or TMR0 sources
that is enabled, has its flag cleared.
Note 2: If the interrupt is not being used for the
program write timing, the interrupt
should be disabled. This will ensure that
the interrupt is not lost, nor will it ter mi-
nate the long write prematurely.

8.2 Table Writes to External Memory
Table writes to exter nal memory are always two-cycle
instructions. The second cycle writes the data to the
external memory location. The sequence of events for
an external memory wr ite are the same for an internal
write.
Note: If an interrupt is pending or occurs during
the TABLWT, the two cycle table write
completes. The RA0/INT, TMR0, or
T0CKI interrupt flag is automatically
cleared or the pending peripheral inter-
rupt is acknowledged.
8.2.2 TABLE WRITE CODE
The “i operand of the TABLWT instruction can specify
that the value in the 16-bit TBLPTR register is auto-
matically incremented (for the next write). In
Example 8-1, the TBLPTR register is not automatically
incremented.

8.3 Table Reads
The table read allo ws the prog r am memory to be read.
This allows constants to be stored in the program
memory space, and retrieved into data memory when
needed. Example 8-2 reads the 16-bit value at pro-
gram memory address TBLPTR. After the dummy
byte has been read from the TABLATH, the TABLATH
is loaded with the 16-bit data from program memory
address TBLPTR, and then increments the TBLPTR
value. The first read loads the data into the latch, and
can be considered a dummy read (unknown data
loaded into 'f'). INDF0 should be configured for either
auto-increment or auto-decrement.

8.4 Operation with External Memory
Interface
When the table reads/writes are accessing external
memory (via the external system interface bus), the
table latch for the table reads is different from the table
latch for the table writes (see Figure 8-9).
This means that you cannot do a TABLRD instruction,
and use the values that were loaded into the table
latches for a TABLWT instruction. Any table write
sequence should use both the TLWT and then the
TABLWT instructions.

9.0 HARDWARE MULTIPLIER
All PIC17C7XX devices have an 8 x 8 hardware multi-
plier included in the ALU of the device. By making the
multiply a hardware operation, it completes in a single
instruction cycle. This is an unsigned multiply that
gives a 16-bit result. The result is stored into the 16-bit
PRODuct register (PRODH:PRODL). The multiplier
does not affect any flags in the ALUSTA register.
Making the 8 x 8 multiplier execute in a single cycle
gives the following advantages:
Higher computational throughput
Reduces code size requirements f or m ultiply algo-
rithms
The performance increase allows the de vice to be used
in applications previously reserved for Digital Signal
Processors.
Table 9-1 shows a performance comparison between
PIC17CXXX devices using the single cycle hardware
multiply, and performing the same function without the
hardware multiply.
Example 9-1 shows the sequence to do an 8 x 8
unsigned multiply. Only one instruction is required
when one argument of the multiply is already loaded in
the WREG register .
Example 9-2 shows the sequence to do an 8 x 8 signed
multiply. To account for the sign bits of the arguments,
each argument’s most significant bit (MSb) is tested
and the appropriate subtractions are done.

10.0 I/O PORTS
PIC17C75X devices have seven I/O ports, PORTA
through PORTG. PIC17C76X devices have nine I/O
ports, POR TA through PORTJ . PORTB through POR TJ
have a corresponding Data Direction Register (DDR),
which is used to configure the port pins as inputs or out-
puts. Some of these ports pins are multiplexed with
alternate functions.
PORTC, PORTD, and PORTE are multiplexed with the
system bus. These pins are configured as the system
bus when the de vice’ s configuration bits are selected to
Microprocessor or Extended Microcontroller modes. In
the two other microcontroller modes, these pins are
general purpose I/O.
PORTA, POR TB, POR TE<3>, PORTF, PORTG and the
upper four bits of PORTH are multiplexed with the
peripheral features of the de vice. These peripheral f ea-
tures are:
Timer modules
Capture modules
PWM modules
USART/SCI modules
SSP Module
A/D Module
External Interrupt pin
When some of these peripheral modules are turned on,
the port pin will automatically configure to the alternate
function. The modules that do this are:
PWM module
SSP module
USART/SCI module
When a pin is automatically configured as an output by
a peripheral module, the pins data direction (DDR) bit
is unknown. After disabling the peripheral module, the
user should re-initialize the DDR bit to the desired con-
figuration.
The other peripheral modules (which require an input)
must have their data direction bits configured appropri-
ately.
When the device enters the "reset state" the Data
Direction registers (DDR) are forced set which will
make the I/O hi-impendance inputs. The reset state of
some peripheral modules may force the I/O to other
operations, such as analog inputs or the system bus.
Note: A pin that is a peripheral input, can be con-
figured as an output (DDRx<y> is cleared).
The peripheral events will be determined
by the action output on the port pin.
PIC17C7XX
DS30289A-page 70 1998 Microchip Technology Inc.
10.1 PORTA Register
PORTA is a 6-bit wide latch. PORTA does not have a
corresponding Data Direction Register (DDR). Upon a
device reset, the PORTA pins are forced to be high
impedance inputs. For the RA4 and RA5 pins the
peripheral module controls the output. When a device
reset occurs, the peripheral module is disabled, so
these pins are force to be high impedance inputs.
Reading PORTA reads the status of the pins.
The RA0 pin is multiplexed with the exter nal interrupt,
INT. The RA1 pin is multiplexed with TMR0 clock input,
RA2 and RA3 are multiplexed with the SSP functions,
and RA4 and RA5 are multiplexed with the USART1
functions. The control of RA2, RA3, RA4 and RA5 as
outputs are automatically configured by their multi-
plexed peripheral module.
10.1.1 USING RA2, RA3 AS OUTPUTS
The RA2 and RA3 pins are open drain outputs. To use
the RA2 and/or the RA3 pin(s) as output(s), simply
write to the PORTA register the desired v alue. A '0' will
cause the pin to drive low, while a '1' will cause the pin
to float (hi-impedance). An external pull-up resistor
should be used to pull the pin high. Writes to the RA2
and RA3 pins will not affect the other PORTA pins.
Example 10-1 shows an instruction sequence to initial-
ize PORTA. The Bank Select Register (BSR) must be
selected to Bank 0 for the port to be initialized. The f ol-
lowing example uses the MOVLB instruction to load the
BSR register for bank selection.
EXAMPLE 10-1: INITIALIZING PORTA
Note: When using the RA2 or RA3 pin(s) as out-
put(s), read-modify-write instructions
(such as BCF, BSF, BTG) on PORTA are not
recommended.
Such operations read the port pins, do the
desired operation, and then write this value
to the data latch. This may inadvertently
cause the RA2 or RA3 pins to switch from
input to output (or vice-versa).
To avoid this possibility use a shadow reg-
ister for PORTA. Do the bit operations on
this shadow register and then move it to
PORTA.

10.2 PORTB and DDRB Registers
PORTB is an 8-bit wide bi-directional port. The corre-
sponding data direction register is DDRB. A '1' in DDRB
configures the corresponding port pin as an input. A '0'
in the DDRB register configures the corresponding port
pin as an output. Reading PORTB reads the status of
the pins, whereas writing to PORTB will write to the port
latch.
Each of the PORTB pins has a w eak internal pull-up. A
single control bit can turn on all the pull-ups. This is
done by clearing the RBPU (POR TA<7>) bit. The weak
pull-up is automatically turned off when the por t pin is
configured as an output. The pull-ups are enabled on
any reset.
PORTB also has an interrupt on change feature. Only
pins configured as inputs can cause this interrupt to
occur (i.e. any RB7:RB0 pin configured as an output is
excluded from the interrupt on change comparison).
The input pins (of RB7:RB0) are compared with the
value in the PORTB data latch. The “mismatch” out-
puts of RB7:RB0 are OR’ed together to set the PORTB
Interrupt Flag bit, RBIF (PIR1<7>).
This interrupt can wake the device from SLEEP. The
user , in the interrupt service routine, can clear the inter-
rupt by:
a) Read-Write PORTB (such as; MOVPF PORTB,
PORTB). This will end mismatch condition.
b) Then, clear the RBIF bit.
A mismatch condition will continue to set the RBIF bit.
Reading then writing PORTB will end the mismatch
condition, and allow the RBIF bit to be cleared.
This interrupt on mismatch feature, together with soft-
ware configurable pull-ups on this port, allows easy
interface to a keypad and make it possible for wake-up
on key-depression. For an example, refer to Applica-
tion Note AN552, “Implementing Wake-up on Key-
stroke.
The interrupt on change feature is recommended for
wake-up on operations where PORTB is only used for
the interrupt on change feature and key depression
operations.
Note: On a device reset, the RBIF bit is indeter-
minate since the value in the latch may be
different than the pin.

10.3 PORTC and DDRC Registers
PORTC is an 8-bit bi-directional port. The correspond-
ing data direction register is DDRC. A '1' in DDRC con-
figures the corresponding por t pin as an input. A '0' in
the DDRC register configures the corresponding port
pin as an output. Reading PORTC reads the status of
the pins, whereas writing to PORTC will write to the
por t latch. PORTC is multiplexed with the system bus.
When operating as the system bus, PORTC is the low
order byte of the address/data b us (AD7:AD0). The tim-
ing for the system bus is shown in the Electrical Speci-
fications section.
Note: This por t is configured as the system bus
when the device’s configuration bits are
selected to Microprocessor or Extended
Microcontroller modes. In the two other
microcontroller modes, this port is a gen-
eral purpose I/O.
Example 10-3 shows an instruction sequence to initial-

10.5 PORTE and DDRE Register
PORTE is a 4-bit bi-directional port. The corresponding
data direction register is DDRE. A '1' in DDRE config-
ures the corresponding port pin as an input. A '0' in the
DDRE register configures the corresponding port pin
as an output. Reading PORTE reads the status of the
pins, whereas writing to PORTE will write to the port
latch. PORTE is multiplexed with the system bus.
When operating as the system bus, PORTE contains
the control signals for the address/data bus
(AD15:AD0). These control signals are Address Latch
Enable (ALE), Output Enable (OE), and Write (WR).
The control signals OE and WR are active low signals.
The timing for the system b us is sho wn in the Electrical
Specifications section.
Note: Three pins of this port are configured as
the system bus when the device’s configu-
ration bits are selected to Microprocessor
or Extended Microcontroller modes. The
other pin is a general purpose I/O or
Capture4 pin. In the two other microcon-
troller modes, RE2:RE0 are general pur-
pose I/O pins.
Example 10-5 shows an instruction sequence to initial-
ize PORTE. The Bank Select Register (BSR) must be
selected to Bank 1 for the port to be initialized. The f ol-
lowing example uses the MOVLB instruction to load the
BSR register for bank selection.

10.6 PORTF and DDRF Registers
PORTF is an 8-bit wide bi-directional port. The corre-
sponding data direction register is DDRF. A '1' in DDRF
configures the corresponding port pin as an input. A '0'
in the DDRF register configures the corresponding port
pin as an output. Reading PORTF reads the status of
the pins, whereas writing to PORTF will write to the
respective port latch.
All eight bits of PORTF are m ultiple x ed with 8 channels
of the 10-bit A/D converter.
Upon reset the entire Por t is automatically configured
as analog inputs, and must be configured in softw are to
be a digital I/O.
Example 10-6 shows an instruction sequence to initial-
ize PORTF. The Bank Select Register (BSR) must be
selected to Bank 5 for the port to be initialized. The f ol-
lowing example uses the MOVLB instruction to load the
BSR register for bank selection.

10.7 PORTG and DDRG Registers
PORTG is an 8-bit wide bi-directional port. The corre-
sponding data direction register is DDRG. A '1' in
DDRG configures the corresponding port pin as an
input. A '0' in the DDRG register configures the corre-
sponding port pin as an output. Reading PORTG
reads the status of the pins, whereas writing to
PORTG will write to the port latch.
The lower four bits of PORTG are multiplexed with four
channels of the 10-bit A/D converter.
The remaining bits of PORTG are multiplexed with
peripheral output and inputs. RG4 is multiplexed with
the CAP3 input, RG5 is multiplexed with the PWM3
output, RG6 and RG7 are multiplexed with the
USART2 functions.
Upon reset RG3:RG0 is automatically configured as
analog inputs, and must be configured in software to
be a digital I/O.
Example 10-7 shows the instruction sequence to initial-
ize PORTG. The Bank Select Register (BSR) must be
selected to Bank 5 for the port to be initialized. The f ol-
lowing example uses the MOVLB instruction to load the
BSR register for bank selection.

10.8 PORTH and DDRH Registers
(PIC17C76X only)
PORTH is an 8-bit wide bi-directional port. The corre-
sponding data direction register is DDRH. A '1' in
DDRH configures the corresponding port pin as an
input. A '0' in the DDRH register configures the corre-
sponding port pin as an output. Reading PORTH
reads the status of the pins, whereas writing to
PORTH will write to the respective port latch.
The upper four bits of PORTH are multiplexed with
4 channels of the 10-bit A/D converter.
The remaining bits of PORTH are gener al purpose I/O.
Upon reset RH7:RH4 is automatically configured as
analog inputs, and must be configured in software to
be a digital I/O.

10.10 I/O Programming Considerations
10.10.1 BI-DIRECTIONAL I/O PORTS
Any instruction which writes, operates internally as a
read followed by a write operation. For example, the
BCF and BSF instructions read the register into the
CPU, execute the bit operation, and write the result
back to the register. Caution must be used when these
instructions are applied to a por t with both inputs and
outputs defined. For example, a BSF operation on bit5
of PORTB will cause all eight bits of PORTB to be read
into the CPU. Then the BSF operation takes place on
bit5 and PORTB is written to the output latches. If
another bit of PORTB is used as a bi-directional I/O pin
(e.g. bit0) and it is defined as an input at this time, the
input signal present on the pin itself would be read into
the CPU and re-written to the data latch of this particu-
lar pin, ov erwriting the previous content. As long as the
pin stays in the input mode, no problem occurs. How-
ever, if bit0 is switched into output mode later on, the
content of the data latch may now be unknown.
Reading a port reads the values of the port pins. Writ-
ing to the port register writes the v alue to the por t latch.
When using read-modify-write instructions (BCF, BSF,
BTG, etc.) on a port, the value of the port pins is read,
the desired operation is performed with this value, and
the value is then written to the port latch.
Example 10-1 shows the possib le effect of two sequen-
tial read-modify-write instructions on an I/O port.
EXAMPLE 10-1: READ MODIFY WRITE
INSTRUCTIONS ON AN
I/O PORT

;
; Note that the user may have expected the
; pin values to be 00pp pppp. The 2nd BCF
; caused RB7 to be latched as the pin value
; (High).
Note: A pin actively outputting a Low or High
should not be driven from e xternal devices
in order to change the level on this pin (i.e.
“wired-or”, “wired-and”). The resulting high
output currents may damage the device.

DS30289A-page 92 1998 Microchip Technology Inc.
10.10.2 SUCCESSIVE OPERATIONS ON I/O PORTS
The actual write to an I/O port happens at the end of an
instruction cycle, whereas for reading, the data m ust be
valid at the beginning of the instruction cycle
(Figure 10-20). Therefore, care must be exercised if a
write followed by a read operation is carried out on the
same I/O port. The sequence of instructions should be
such to allow the pin voltage to stabilize (load depen-
dent) before executing the instruction that reads the
values on that I/O port. Otherwise, the previous state
of that pin may be read into the CPU rather than the
“new” state. When in doubt, it is better to separate
these instructions with a NOP or another instruction not
accessing this I/O port.
Figure 10-21 shows the I/O model which causes this
situation. As the effective capacitance (C) becomes
larger , the rise/f all time of the I/O pin increases . As the
device frequency increases or the effective capaci-
tance increases, the possibility of this subsequent
PORTx read-modify-write instruction issue increases.
This effective capacitance includes the effects of the
board traces.
The best wa y to address this is to add an series resistor
at the I/O pin. This resistor allows the I/O pin to get to
the desired level before the next instruction.
The use of NOP instructions between the subsequent
PORTx read-modify-write instructions, is a lower cost
solution, but has the issue that the number of NOP
instructions is dependent on the effective capacitance
C and the frequency of the device.

PIC17C7XX
11.0 OVERVIEW OF TIMER
RESOURCES
The PIC17C7XX has four timer modules . Each module
can generate an interrupt to indicate that an event has
occurred. These timers are called:
Timer0 - 16-bit timer with programmable 8-bit
prescaler
Timer1 - 8-bit timer
Timer2 - 8-bit timer
Timer3 - 16-bit timer
For enhanced time-base functionality, four input Cap-
tures and three Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) out-
puts are possible. The PWMs use the Timer1 and
Timer2 resources and the input Captures use the
Timer3 resource.
11.1 Timer0 Overview
The Timer0 module is a simple 16-bit o v erflo w counter.
The clock source can be either the internal system
clock (Fosc/4) or an external clock.
When Timer0 uses an external clock source, it has the
flexibility to allow user selection of the incrementing
edge, rising or falling.
The Timer0 module also has a programmable pres-
caler. The T0PS3:T0PS0 bits (T0STA<4:1>) determine
the prescale value. TMR0 can increment at the follow-
ing rates: 1:1, 1:2, 1:4, 1:8, 1:16, 1:32, 1:64, 1:128,
1:256.
Synchronization of the external clock occurs after the
prescaler. When the prescaler is used, the external
clock frequency may be higher than the device’s fre-
quency. The maximum external frequency, on the
T0CKI pin, is 50 MHz, given the high and low time
requirements of the clock.
11.2 Timer1 Overview
The Timer1 module is an 8-bit timer/counter with an
8-bit period register (PR1). When the TMR1 value rolls
over from the period match value to 0h, the TMR1IF
flag is set, and an interrupt will be generated if
enabled. In counter mode, the clock comes from the
RB4/TCLK12 pin, which can also be selected to be the
clock for the Timer2 module.
TMR1 can be concatenated with TMR2 to form a
16-bit timer. The TMR1 register is the LSB and TMR2
is the MSB. When in the 16-bit timer mode, there is a
corresponding 16-bit period register (PR2:PR1). When
the TMR2:TMR1 value rolls over from the period
match value to 0h, the TMR1IF flag is set, and an
interrupt will be generated if enabled.
11.3 Timer2 Overview
The Timer2 module is an 8-bit timer/counter with an
8-bit period register (PR2). When the TMR2 value rolls
over from the period match value to 0h, the TMR2IF
flag is set, and an interrupt will be generated if
enabled. In counter mode, the clock comes from the
RB4/TCLK12 pin, which can also provide the clock for
the Timer1 module.
TMR2 can be concatenated with TMR1 to form a
16-bit timer. The TMR2 register is the MSB and TMR1
is the LSB. When in the 16-bit timer mode, there is a
corresponding 16-bit period register (PR2:PR1). When
the TMR2:TMR1 value rolls over from the period
match value to 0h, the TMR1IF flag is set, and an
interrupt will be generated if enabled.
11.4 Timer3 Overview
The Timer3 module is a 16-bit timer/counter with a
16-bit period register. When the TMR3H:TMR3L value
rolls over to 0h, the TMR3IF bit is set and an interrupt
will be generated if enabled. In counter mode, the
clock comes from the RB5/TCLK3 pin.
When operating in the four capture mode, the period
registers become the second (of four) 16-bit capture
registers.
11.5 Role of the Timer/Counters
The timer modules are general purpose, but ha v e ded-
icated resources associated with them. TImer1 and
Timer2 are the time-bases for the three Pulse Width
Modulation (PWM) outputs, while Timer3 is the
time-base for the four input captures.

12.0 TIMER0
The Timer0 module consists of a 16-bit timer/counter,
TMR0. The high byte is register TMR0H and the low
byte is register TMR0L. A software programmable 8-bit
prescaler makes Timer0 an effective 24-bit overflow
timer. The clock source is software programmable as
either the internal instruction clock or an external clock
on the RA1/T0CKI pin. The control bits for this module
are in register T0STA (Figure 12-1).

12.1 Timer0 Operation
When the T0CS (T0STA<5>) bit is set, TMR0 incre-
ments on the internal clock. When T0CS is clear , TMR0
increments on the external clock (RA1/T0CKI pin). The
external clock edge can be selected in software. When
the T0SE (T0STA<6>) bit is set, the timer will increment
on the rising edge of the RA1/T0CKI pin. When T0SE
is clear, the timer will increment on the falling edge of
the RA1/T0CKI pin. The prescaler can be prog r ammed
to introduce a prescale of 1:1 to 1:256. The timer incre-
ments from 0000h to FFFFh and rolls over to 0000h.
On overflow, the TMR0 Interrupt Flag bit (T0IF) is set.
The TMR0 interrupt can be masked by clearing the cor-
responding TMR0 Interrupt Enable bit (T0IE). The
TMR0 Interrupt Flag bit (T0IF) is automatically cleared
when vectoring to the TMR0 interrupt vector.
12.2 Using Timer0 with External Clock
When an external clock input is used for Timer0, it is
synchronized with the internal phase clocks.
Figure 12-3 shows the synchronization of the external
clock. This synchronization is done after the prescaler.
The output of the prescaler (PSOUT) is sampled twice
in ever y instruction cycle to detect a rising or a falling
edge. The timing requirements for the external clock
are detailed in the electrical specification section.
12.2.1 DELAY FROM EXTERNAL CLOCK EDGE
Since the prescaler output is synchronized with the
internal clocks, there is a small delay from the time the
external clock edge occurs to the time TMR0 is actually
incremented. Figure 12-3 shows that this delay is
between 3TOSC and 7TOSC. Thus, for example, mea-
suring the interval between tw o edges (e.g. period) will
be accurate within ±4TOSC (±121 ns @ 33 MHz).

12.3 Read/Write Consideration for TMR0
Although TMR0 is a 16-bit timer/counter, only 8-bits at
a time can be read or written during a single instruction
cycle. Care must be taken during any read or write.
12.3.1 READING 16-BIT VALUE
The problem in reading the entire 16-bit value is that
after reading the low (or high) byte, its value may
change from FFh to 00h.
Example 12-1 shows a 16-bit read. To ensure a proper
read, interrupts must be disabled during this routine.
EXAMPLE 12-1: 16-BIT READ
MOVPF TMR0L, TMPLO ;read low tmr0
MOVPF TMR0H, TMPHI ;read high tmr0
MOVFP TMPLO, WREG ;tmplo −> wreg
CPFSLT TMR0L ;tmr0l < wreg?
RETURN ;no then return
MOVPF TMR0L, TMPLO ;read low tmr0
MOVPF TMR0H, TMPHI ;read high tmr0
RETURN ;return
12.3.2 WRITING A 16-BIT VALUE TO TMR0
Since writing to either TMR0L or TMR0H will eff ectiv ely
inhibit increment of that half of the TMR0 in the next
cycle (following write), but not inhibit increment of the
other half, the user must write to TMR0L first and
TMR0H second in two consecutive instructions, as
shown in Example 12-2. The interrupt must be dis-
abled. Any write to either TMR0L or TMR0H clears the
prescaler.
EXAMPLE 12-2: 16-BIT WRITE
12.4 Prescaler Assignments
Timer0 has an 8-bit prescaler. The prescaler selection
is fully under software control; i.e., it can be changed
“on the fly” during program execution. Clearing the
prescaler is recommended before changing its setting.
The value of the prescaler is “unknown,” and assigning
a value that is less than the present value makes it dif-
ficult to take this unknown time into account.

13.0 TIMER1, TIMER2, TIMER3,
PWMS AND CAPTURES
The PIC17C7XX has a wealth of timers and time-based
functions to ease the implementation of control applica-
tions. These time-base functions include three PWM
outputs and four Capture inputs.
Timer1 and Timer2 are two 8-bit incrementing timers,
each with an 8-bit period register (PR1 and PR2
respectively) and separate overflow interrupt flags.
Timer1 and Timer2 can oper ate either as timers (incre-
ment on internal Fosc/4 clock) or as counters (incre-
ment on falling edge of external clock on pin
RB4/TCLK12). They are also software configurable to
operate as a single 16-bit timer/counter. These timers
are also used as the time-base for the PWM (Pulse
Width Modulation) modules.
Timer3 is a 16-bit timer/counter which uses the TMR3H
and TMR3L registers. Timer3 also has two additional
registers (PR3H/CA1H: PR3L/CA1L) that are config-
urable as a 16-bit period register or a 16-bit capture
register. TMR3 can be software configured to incre-
ment from the internal system clock (FOSC/4) or from
an external signal on the RB5/TCLK3 pin. Timer3 is the
time-base for all of the 16-bit captures.
Six other registers comprise the Capture2, Capture3,
and Capture4 registers (CA2H:CA2L, CA3H:CA3L,
and CA4H:CA4L).
Figure 13-1, Figure 13-2, and Figure 13-3 are the con-
trol registers for the operation of Timer1, Timer2, and
Timer3, as well as PWM1, PWM2, PWM3, Capture1,
Capture2, Capture3, and Capture4.
Table 13-1 shows the Timer resource requirements for
these time-base functions. Each timer is an open
resource so that multiple functions ma y operate with it.

13.1 Timer1 and Timer2
13.1.1 TIMER1, TIMER2 IN 8-BIT MODE
Both Timer1 and Timer2 will operate in 8-bit mode
when the T16 bit is clear . These two timers can be inde-
pendently configured to increment from the internal
instruction cycle clock (TCY) or from an external clock
source on the RB4/TCLK12 pin. The timer cloc k source
is configured by the TMRxCS bit (x = 1 for Timer1 or =
2 for Timer2). When TMRxCS is clear , the cloc k source
is internal and increments once every instruction cycle
(Fosc/4). When TMRxCS is set, the clock source is the
RB4/TCLK12 pin, and the counters will increment on
every falling edge of the RB4/TCLK12 pin.
The timer increments from 00h until it equals the P eriod
register (PRx). It then resets to 00h at the next incre-
ment cycle. The timer interrupt flag is set when the
timer is reset. TMR1 and TMR2 have individual inter-
rupt flag bits. The TMR1 interrupt flag bit is latched into
TMR1IF, and the TMR2 interrupt flag bit is latched into
TMR2IF.
Each timer also has a corresponding interrupt enable
bit (TMRxIE). The timer interrupt can be enabled/dis-
abled by setting/clearing this bit. For peripheral inter-
rupts to be enabled, the Peripheral Interrupt Enable bit
must be set (PEIE = '1') and global interrupt must be
enabled (GLINTD = '0').
The timers can be turned on and off under software
control. When the timer on control bit (TMRxON) is set,
the timer increments from the clock source. When
TMRxON is cleared, the timer is turned off and cannot
cause the timer interrupt flag to be set.
13.1.1.1 EXTERNAL CLOCK INPUT FOR TIMER1
AND TIMER2
When TMRxCS is set, the clock source is the
RB4/TCLK12 pin, and the counter will increment on
every falling edge on the RB4/TCLK12 pin. The
TCLK12 input is synchronized with internal phase
clocks . This causes a dela y from the time a f alling edge
appears on TCLK12 to the time TMR1 or TMR2 is actu-
ally incremented. For the external clock input timing
requirements, see the Electrical Specification section.

13.1.2 TIMER1 AND TIMER2 IN 16-BIT MODE
To select 16-bit mode, set the T16 bit. In this mode
TMR2 and TMR1 are concatenated to form a 16-bit
timer (TMR2:TMR1). The 16-bit timer increments until
it matches the 16-bit period register (PR2:PR1). On
the following timer clock, the timer value is reset to 0h,
and the TMR1IF bit is set.
When selecting the clock source f or the 16-bit timer , the
TMR1CS bit controls the entire 16-bit timer and
TMR2CS is a “don’t care”, however ensure that
TMR2ON is set (allows TMR2 to increment). When
TMR1CS is clear, the timer increments once every
instruction cycle (Fosc/4). When TMR1CS is set, the
timer increments on every falling edge of the
RB4/TCLK12 pin. For the 16-bit timer to increment,
both TMR1ON and TMR2ON bits must be set
(Table 13-2).

13.1.2.1 EXTERNAL CLOCK INPUT FOR
TMR2:TMR1
When TMR1CS is set, the 16-bit TMR2:TMR1 incre-
ments on the falling edge of clock input TCLK12. The
input on the RB4/TCLK12 pin is sampled and synchro-
nized by the inter nal phase clocks twice every instruc-
tion cycle. This causes a delay from the time a falling
edge appears on RB4/TCLK12 to the time
TMR2:TMR1 is actually incremented. For the external
clock input timing requirements, see the Electrical
Specification section.

13.1.3 USING PULSE WIDTH MODULATION
(PWM) OUTPUTS WITH TIMER1 AND
TIMER2
Three high speed pulse width modulation (PWM) out-
puts are provided. The PWM1 output uses Timer1 as
its time-base, while PWM2 and PWM3 may indepen-
dently be software configured to use either Timer1 or
Timer2 as the time-base. The PWM outputs are on the
RB2/PWM1, RB3/PWM2, and RG5/PWM3 pins.
Each PWM output has a maximum resolution of
10-bits. At 10-bit resolution, the PWM output frequency
is 32.2 kHz (@ 32 MHz clock) and at 8-bit resolution the
PWM output frequency is 128.9 kHz. The duty cycle of
the output can vary from 0% to 100%.
Figure 13-6 shows a simplified block diagram of a
PWM module.
The duty cycle registers are double buffered for glitch
free operation. Figure 13-7 shows how a glitch could
occur if the duty cycle registers were not double buff-
ered.
The user needs to set the PWM1ON bit (TCON2<4>)
to enable the PWM1 output. When the PWM1ON bit is
set, the RB2/PWM1 pin is configured as PWM1 output
and forced as an output irrespective of the data direc-
tion bit (DDRB<2>). When the PWM1ON bit is clear,
the pin behaves as a por t pin and its direction is con-
trolled by its data direction bit (DDRB<2>). Similarly,
the PWM2ON (TCON2<5>) bit controls the configura-
tion of the RB3/PWM2 pin and the PWM3ON
(TCON3<0>) bit controls the configuration of the
RG5/PWM3 pin.

13.1.3.1 PWM PERIODS
The period of the PWM1 output is determined by
Timer1 and its period register (PR1). The period of the
PWM2 and PWM3 outputs can be individually software
configured to use either Timer1 or Timer2 as the
time-base. For PWM2, when TM2PW2 bit
(PW2DCL<5>) is clear , the time-base is determined by
TMR1 and PR1, and when TM2PW2 is set, the
time-base is determined by Timer2 and PR2. For
PWM3, when TM2PW3 bit (PW3DCL<5>) is clear, the
time-base is determined by TMR1 and PR1, and when
TM2PW3 is set, the time-base is determined by Timer2
and PR2.
Running two different PWM outputs on two different
timers allows different PWM periods. Running all
PWMs from Timer1 allows the best use of resources b y
freeing Timer2 to operate as an 8-bit timer. Timer1 and
Timer2 cannot be used as a 16-bit timer if any PWM is
being used.
The PWM periods can be calculated as follows:
period of PWM1 = [(PR1) + 1] x 4TOSC
period of PWM2 = [(PR1) + 1] x 4TOSC or
[(PR2) + 1] x 4TOSC
period of PWM3 = [(PR1) + 1] x 4TOSC or
[(PR2) + 1] x 4TOSC
The duty cycle of PWMx is determined by the 10-bit
value DCx<9:0>. The upper 8-bits are from register
PWxDCH and the lower 2-bits are from PWxDCL<7:6>
(PWxDCH:PWxDCL<7:6>). Table 13-4 shows the
maximum PWM frequency (FPWM) given the value in
the period register.
The number of bits of resolution that the PWM can
achieve depends on the operation frequency of the
device as well as the PWM frequency (FPWM).
Maximum PWM resolution (bits) for a given PWM fre-
quency:
where: FPWM = 1 / period of PWM
The PWMx duty cycle is as follows:
PWMx Duty Cycle =(DCx) x TOSC
where DCx represents the 10-bit value from
PWxDCH:PWxDCL.
log
(FPWM
log (2)
FOSC )
bits
=
If DCx = 0, then the duty cycle is zero. If PRx =
PWxDCH, then the PWM output will be low for one to
four Q-clock (depending on the state of the
PWxDCL<7:6> bits). For a Duty Cycle to be 100%, the
PWxDCH value must be greater then the PRx value.
The duty cycle registers for both PWM outputs are dou-
ble buffered. When the user writes to these registers,
they are stored in master latches. When TMR1 (or
TMR2) overflows and a new PWM period begins, the
master latch values are tr ansf erred to the sla v e latches
and the PWMx pin is forced high.
The user should also avoid any "read-modify-write"
operations on the duty cycle registers, such as:
ADDWF PW1DCH. This may cause duty cycle outputs
that are unpredictable.
TABLE 13-4: PWM FREQUENCY vs.
RESOLUTION AT 33 MHz
13.1.3.2 PWM INTERRUPTS
The PWM modules makes use of the TMR1 and/or
TMR2 interrupts. A timer interrupt is generated when
TMR1 or TMR2 equals its period register and on the fol-
lowing increment is cleared to zero. This interrupt also
marks the beginning of a PWM cycle. The user can
write new duty cycle values before the timer roll-over.
The TMR1 interr upt is latched into the TMR1IF bit and
the TMR2 interrupt is latched into the TMR2IF bit.
These flags must be cleared in software.
Note: For PW1DCH, PW1DCL, PW2DCH,
PW2DCL, PW3DCH and PW3DCL regis-
ters, a write operation writes to the "master
latches" while a read operation reads the
"slave latches". As a result, the user may
not read back what was just written to the
duty cycle registers (until transfered to
slave latch).

13.1.3.3 EXTERNAL CLOCK SOURCE
The PWMs will operate regardless of the clock source
of the timer. The use of an external clock has ramifica-
tions that must be understood. Because the external
TCLK12 input is synchronized internally (sampled once
per instruction cycle), the time TCLK12 changes to the
time the timer increments will vary by as much as 1TCY
(one instruction cycle). This will cause jitter in the duty
cycle as well as the period of the PWM output.
This jitter will be ±1TCY, unless the external clock is
synchronized with the processor clock. Use of one of
the PWM outputs as the clock source to the TCLK12
input, will supply a synchronized clock.
In general, when using an external clock source for
PWM, its frequency should be much less than the
device frequency (Fosc).

The use of an external clock for the PWM time-base
(Timer1 or Timer2) limits the PWM output to a maxi-
mum resolution of 8-bits. The PWxDCL<7:6> bits must
be kept cleared. Use of any other value will distor t the
PWM output. All resolutions are supported when inter-
nal clock mode is selected. The maximum attainable
frequency is also lower. This is a result of the timing
requirements of an external clock input for a timer (see
the Electrical Specification section). The maximum
PWM frequency, when the timers clock source is the
RB4/TCLK12 pin, as shown in Table 13-4 (standard
resolution mode).

13.2 Timer3
Timer3 is a 16-bit timer consisting of the TMR3H and
TMR3L registers. TMR3H is the high byte of the timer
and TMR3L is the low byte. This timer has an associ-
ated 16-bit period register (PR3H/CA1H:PR3L/CA1L).
This period register can be software configured to be a
another 16-bit capture register.
When the TMR3CS bit (TCON1<2>) is clear, the timer
increments every instruction cycle (Fosc/4). When
TMR3CS is set, the counter increments on ev ery falling
edge of the RB5/TCLK3 pin. In either mode, the
TMR3ON bit must be set f or the timer/counter to incre-
ment. When TMR3ON is clear, the timer will not incre-
ment or set flag bit TMR3IF.
Timer3 has two modes of operation, depending on the
CA1/PR3 bit (TCON2<3>). These modes are:
Three capture and one period register mode
Four capture register mode
The PIC17C7XX has up to four 16-bit capture registers
that capture the 16-bit value of TMR3 when events are
detected on capture pins. There are four capture pins
(RB0/CAP1, RB1/CAP2, RG4/CAP3, and RE3/CAP4),
one for each capture register pair. The capture pins are
multiplexed with the I/O pins. An event can be:
A rising edge
A falling edge
Every 4th rising edge
Every 16th rising edge
Each 16-bit capture register has an interrupt flag asso-
ciated with it. The flag is set when a capture is made.
The capture modules are truly part of the Timer3 b loc k.
Figure 13-8 and Figure 13-9 show the block diagrams
for the two modes of operation.
13.2.1 THREE CAPTURE AND ONE PERIOD
REGISTER MODE
In this mode registers PR3H/CA1H and PR3L/CA1L
constitute a 16-bit period register. A block diagram is
shown in Figure 13-8. The timer increments until it
equals the period register and then resets to 0000h on
the next timer clock. TMR3 Interrupt Flag bit (TMR3IF)
is set at this point. This interrupt can be disabled by
clearing the TMR3 Interrupt Enable bit (TMR3IE).
TMR3IF must be cleared in software.

This mode (3 Capture, 1 P eriod) is selected if control bit
CA1/PR3 is clear. In this mode, the Capture1 register,
consisting of high byte (PR3H/CA1H) and low byte
(PR3L/CA1L), is configured as the period control regis-
ter for TMR3. Capture1 is disabled in this mode, and
the corresponding Interrupt bit CA1IF is never set.
TMR3 increments until it equals the value in the period
register and then resets to 0000h on the next timer
clock.
All other Captures are active in this mode.
13.2.1.1 CAPTURE OPERATION
The CAxED1 and CAxED0 bits determine the event on
which capture will occur. The possible events are:
Capture on every falling edge
Capture on every rising edge
Capture every 4th rising edge
Capture every 16th rising edge
When a capture takes place , an interrupt flag is latched
into the CAxIF bit. This interrupt can be enabled by set-
ting the corresponding mask bit CAxIE. The Peripheral
Interrupt Enable bit (PEIE) must be set and the Global
Interrupt Disable bit (GLINTD) must be cleared for the
interrupt to be acknowledged. The CAxIF interr upt flag
bit is cleared in software.
When the capture prescale select is changed, the pres-
caler is not reset and an event may be generated.
Therefore, the first capture after such a change will be
ambiguous. However, it sets the time-base for the next
capture. The prescaler is reset upon chip reset.
The capture pin, CAPx, is a multiplexed pin. When
used as a port pin, the capture is not disabled. How-
ever, the user can simply disable the Capture interrupt
by clearing CAxIE. If the CAPx pin is used as an output
pin, the user can activate a capture by writing to the
port pin. This may be useful during de v elopment phase
to emulate a capture interrupt.
The input on the capture pin CAPx is synchronized
internally to internal phase clocks. This imposes certain
restrictions on the input waveform (see the Electrical
Specification section for timing).
The capture overflow status flag bit is double buffered.
The master bit is set if one captured word is already
residing in the Capture register (CAxH:CAxL) and
another “e vent” has occurred on the CAPx pin. The ne w
event will not transfer the TMR3 value to the capture
register, protecting the previous unread capture value.
When the user reads both the high and the low bytes
(in any order) of the Capture register, the master
overflow bit is transferred to the slave overflow bit
(CAxOVF) and then the master bit is reset. The user
can then read TCONx to determine the value of
CAxOVF.
The recommended sequence to read capture registers
and capture overflow flag bits is shown in
Example 13-1.

DS30289A-page 110 1998 Microchip Technology Inc.
13.2.2 FOUR CAPTURE MODE
This mode is selected by setting bit CA1/PR3. A block
diagram is shown in Figure 13-9. In this mode, TMR3
runs without a period register and increments from
0000h to FFFFh and rolls over to 0000h. The TMR3
interrupt Flag (TMR3IF) is set on this rollover. The
TMR3IF bit must be cleared in software.
Registers PR3H/CA1H and PR3L/CA1L make a 16-bit
capture register (Capture1). It captures events on pin
RB0/CAP1. Capture mode is configured by the
CA1ED1 and CA1ED0 bits. Capture1 Interrupt Flag bit
(CA1IF) is set upon detection of the capture event. The
corresponding interrupt mask bit is CA1IE. The
Capture1 Overflow Status bit is CA1OVF.
All the captures operate in the same manner. Refer to
Section 13.2.1 for the operation of capture.

13.2.3 READING THE CAPTURE REGISTERS
The Capture overflow status flag bits are double
buffered. The master bit is set if one captured word is
already residing in the Capture register and another
“event” has occurred on the CAPx pin. The new event
will not transf er the TMR3 value to the capture register,
protecting the previous unread capture value. When
the user reads both the high and the low bytes (in any
order) of the Capture register , the master ov erflow bit is
transf erred to the slave o verflo w bit (CAxOVF) and then
the master bit is reset. The user can then read TCONx
to determine the value of CAxOVF.
An example of an instruction sequence to read capture
registers and capture overflow flag bits is shown in
Example 13-1. Depending on the capture source, dif-
ferent registers will need to be read.

13.2.4 EXTERNAL CLOCK INPUT FOR TIMER3
When TMR3CS is set, the 16-bit TMR3 increments on
the falling edge of clock input TCLK3. The input on the
RB5/TCLK3 pin is sampled and synchronized by the
internal phase clocks twice ev ery instruction cycle. This
causes a delay from the time a falling edge appears on
TCLK3 to the time TMR3 is actually incremented. For
the external clock input timing requirements, see the
Electrical Specification section. Figure 13-10 shows
the timing diagram when operating from an external
clock.
13.2.5 READING/WRITING TIMER3
Since Timer3 is a 16-bit timer and only 8-bits at a time
can be read or written, care should be taken when
reading or writing while the timer is running. The best
method is to stop the timer, perform any read or write
operation, and then restart Timer3 (using the TMR3ON
bit). How ev er , if it is necessary to keep Timer3 free-run-
ning, care must be taken. For writing to the 16-bit
TMR3, Example 13-2 may be used. For reading the
16-bit TMR3, Example 13-3 may be used. Interrupts
must be disabled during this routine.

MODULES
Each USART module is a serial I/O module. There are
two USART modules that are available on the
PIC17C7XX. They are specified as USART1 and
USART2. The description of the operation of these
modules is generic in regard to the register names and
pin names used. Table 14-1 shows the generic names
that are used in the description of operation and the
actual names for both USART1 and USART2. Since
the control bits in each register hav e the same function,
their names are the same (there is no need to differen-
tiate).
The Transmit Status And Control Register (TXSTA) is
shown in Figure 14-1, while the Receive Status And
Control Register (RCSTA) is shown in Figure 14-2.

The USART can be configured as a full duplex asyn-
chronous system that can communicate with peripheral
devices such as CRT ter minals and personal comput-
ers, or it can be configured as a half duplex synchro-
nous system that can communicate with peripheral
devices such as A/D or D/A integrated circuits, Serial
EEPROMs etc. The USART can be configured in the
following modes:
Asynchronous (full duplex)
Synchronous - Master (half duplex)
Synchronous - Slave (half duplex)
The SPEN (RCSTA<7>) bit has to be set in order to
configure the I/O pins as the Serial Communication
Interface (USART).
The USART module will control the direction of the
RX/DT and TX/CK pins , depending on the states of the
USART configuration bits in the RCSTA and TXSTA
registers. The bits that control I/O direction are:

14.1 USART Baud Rate Generator (BRG)
The BRG supports both the Asynchronous and Syn-
chronous modes of the USART. It is a dedicated 8-bit
baud rate generator. The SPBRG register controls the
period of a free running 8-bit timer. Table 14-2 shows
the formula for computation of the baud rate for differ-
ent USART modes . These only apply when the USAR T
is in synchronous master mode (internal clock) and
asynchronous mode.
Given the desired baud r ate and Fosc, the nearest inte-
ger value between 0 and 255 can be calculated using
the formula below. The error in baud rate can then be
determined.
TABLE 14-2: BAUD RATE FORMULA
Example 14-1 shows the calculation of the baud rate
error for the following conditions:
FOSC = 16 MHz
Desired Baud Rate = 9600
SYNC = 0

Calculated Baud Rate=16000000 / (64 (25 + 1))
= 9615
Error = (Calculated Baud Rate - Desired Baud Rate)
Desired Baud Rate
= (9615 - 9600) / 9600
= 0.16%
Writing a new value to the SPBRG, 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.
14.1.1 EFFECTS OF RESET
After any device reset the SPBRG register is cleared.
The SPBRG register will need to be loaded with the
desired value after each reset.

14.2 USART Asynchronous Mode
In this mode, the USART uses standard nonre-
turn-to-zero (NRZ) format (one start bit, eight or nine
data bits, and one stop bit). The most common data f or-
mat is 8-bits. An on-chip dedicated 8-bit baud rate gen-
erator can be used to derive standard baud rate
frequencies from the oscillator. The USART’s transmit-
ter and receiver are functionally independent but use
the same data format and baud rate. The baud rate
generator produces a clock x64 of the bit shift r ate. P ar-
ity is not supported by the hardware, but can be imple-
mented in software (and stored as the ninth data bit).
Asynchronous mode is stopped during SLEEP.
The asynchronous mode is selected by clearing the
SYNC bit (TXSTA<4>).
The USART Asynchronous module consists of the fol-
lowing components:
Baud Rate Generator
Sampling Circuit
Asynchronous Transmitter
Asynchronous Receiver
14.2.1 USART ASYNCHRONOUS TRANSMITTER
The USART transmitter block diagram is shown in
Figure 14-3. The heart of the transmitter is the transmit
shift register (TSR). The shift register obtains its data
from the read/write transmit buff er (TXREG). TXREG is
loaded with data in software. The TSR is not loaded
until the stop bit has been transmitted from the pre vious
load. As soon as the stop bit is transmitted, the TSR is
loaded with new data from the TXREG (if available).
Once TXREG transfers the data to the TSR (occurs in
one TCY at the end of the current BRG cycle), the
TXREG is empty and an interrupt bit, TXIF, is set. This
interrupt can be enabled/disabled by setting/clearing
the TXIE bit. TXIF will be set regardless of TXIE and
cannot be reset in software. It will reset only when new
data is loaded into TXREG. While TXIF indicates the
status of the TXREG, the TRMT (TXSTA<1>) bit shows
the status of the TSR. TRMT is a read only bit which is
set when the TSR is empty. No interrupt logic is tied to
this bit, so the user has to poll this bit in order to deter-
mine if the TSR is empty.
Note: The TSR is not mapped in data memory,
so it is not available to the user.
Transmission is enabled by setting the
TXEN (TXSTA<5>) bit. The actual transmission will not
occur until TXREG has been loaded with data and the
baud rate generator (BRG) has produced a shift clock
(Figure 14-5). The transmission can also be star ted by
first loading TXREG and then setting TXEN. Normally
when transmission is first started, the TSR is empty, so
a transf er to TXREG will result in an immediate transf er
to TSR resulting in an empty TXREG. A back-to-back
transfer is thus possible (Figure 14-6). Clearing TXEN
during a transmission will cause the transmission to be
aborted. This will reset the transmitter and the TX/CK
pin will revert to hi-impedance.
In order to select 9-bit transmission, the
TX9 (TXSTA<6>) bit should be set and the ninth bit
value should be written to TX9D (TXSTA<0>). The
ninth bit value must be written before writing the 8-bit
data to the TXREG. This is because a data write to
TXREG can result in an immediate transfer of the data
to the TSR (if the TSR is empty).
Steps to follow when setting up an Asynchronous
Transmission:
1. Initialize the SPBRG register for the appropriate
baud rate.
2. Enable the asynchronous serial port by clearing
the SYNC bit and setting the SPEN bit.
3. If interrupts are desired, then set the TXIE bit.
4. If 9-bit transmission is desired, then set the TX9
bit.
5. If 9-bit transmission is selected, the ninth bit
should be loaded in TX9D.
6. Load data to the TXREG register.
7. Enable the transmission by setting TXEN (starts
transmission).
Writing the transmit data to the TXREG, then enabling
the transmit (setting TXEN) allo ws transmission to start
sooner than doing these two events in the opposite
order.
Note: To terminate a transmission, either clear
the SPEN bit, or the TXEN bit. This will
reset the transmit logic, so that it will be in
the proper state when transmit is
re-enabled.

14.2.2 USART ASYNCHRONOUS RECEIVER
The receiver block diagram is shown in Figure 14-4.
The data comes in the RX/DT pin and drives the data
recovery block. The data recovery block is actually a
high speed shifter operating at 16 times the baud rate,
whereas the main receive serial shifter operates at the
bit rate or at FOSC.
Once asynchronous mode is selected, reception is
enabled by setting bit CREN (RCSTA<4>).
The heart of the receiver is the receiv e (serial) shift reg-
ister (RSR). After sampling the stop bit, the received
data in the RSR is transferred to the RCREG (if it is
empty). If the transfer is complete, the interrupt bit,
RCIF, is set. The actual interrupt can be enabled/dis-
abled by setting/clearing the RCIE bit. RCIF is a read
only bit which is cleared by the hardware. It is cleared
when RCREG has been read and is empty. RCREG is
a double buffered register; (i.e. it is a two deep FIFO).
It is possible for two bytes of data to be received and
transferred to the RCREG FIFO and a third byte begin
shifting to the RSR. On detection of the stop bit of the
third byte, if the RCREG is still full, then the overrun
error bit, OERR (RCSTA<1>) will be set. The word in
the RSR will be lost. RCREG can be read twice to
retriev e the two b ytes in the FIFO . The OERR bit has to
be cleared in software which is done by resetting the
receive logic (CREN is set). If the OERR bit is set,
transf ers from the RSR to RCREG are inhibited, so it is
essential to clear the OERR bit if it is set. The framing
error bit FERR (RCSTA<2>) is set if a stop bit is not
detected.
14.2.3 SAMPLING
The data on the RX/DT pin is sampled three times by a
majority detect circuit to determine if a high or a low
lev el is present at the RX/DT pin. The sampling is done
on the seventh, eighth and ninth falling edges of a x16
clock (Figure 14-7).
The x16 clock is a free running clock, and the three
sample points occur at a frequency of ever y 16 falling
edges.
Note: The FERR and the 9th receive bit are b uff-
ered the same way as the receive data.
Reading the RCREG register will allow the
RX9D and FERR bits to be loaded with val-
ues for the next received Received data.
Therefore, it is essential for the user to
read the RCSTA register before reading
RCREG in order not to lose the old FERR
and RX9D information.

Steps to follow when setting up an Asynchronous
Reception:
1. Initialize the SPBRG register for the appropriate
baud rate.
2. Enable the asynchronous serial port by clearing
the SYNC bit and setting the SPEN bit.
3. If interrupts are desired, then set the RCIE bit.
4. If 9-bit reception is desired, then set the RX9 bit.
5. Enable the reception by setting the CREN bit.
6. The RCIF bit will be set when reception com-
pletes and an interrupt will be generated if the
RCIE bit was set.
7. Read RCSTA to get the ninth bit (if enabled) and
FERR bit to determine if any error occurred dur-
ing reception.
8. Read RCREG for the 8-bit received data.
9. If an overrun error occurred, clear the error by
clearing the OERR bit.
Note: To terminate a reception, either clear the
SREN and CREN bits, or the SPEN bit.
This will reset the receive logic, so that it
will be in the proper state when receive is
re-enabled.

14.3 USART Synchronous Master Mode
In Master Synchronous mode, the data is transmitted in
a half-duplex manner; i.e. transmission and reception
do not occur at the same time: when transmitting data,
the reception is inhibited and vice versa. The synchro-
nous mode is entered by setting the SYNC
(TXSTA<4>) bit. In addition, the SPEN (RCSTA<7>) bit
is set in order to configure the I/O pins to CK (clock) and
DT (data) lines respectively. The Master mode indi-
cates that the processor transmits the master clock on
the CK line. The Master mode is entered by setting the
CSRC (TXSTA<7>) bit.
14.3.1 USART SYNCHRONOUS MASTER
TRANSMISSION
The USART transmitter block diagram is shown in
Figure 14-3. The heart of the transmitter is the transmit
(serial) shift register (TSR). The shift register obtains its
data from the read/write transmit buffer TXREG.
TXREG is loaded with data in software. The TSR is not
loaded until the last bit has been transmitted from the
previous load. As soon as the last bit is transmitted, the
TSR is loaded with new data from TXREG (if a vailable).
Once TXREG transfers the data to the TSR (occurs in
one TCY at the end of the current BRG cycle), TXREG
is empty and the TXIF bit is set. This interrupt can be
enabled/disabled by setting/clearing the TXIE bit. TXIF
will be set regardless of the state of bit TXIE and cannot
be cleared in software. It will reset only when new data
is loaded into TXREG. While TXIF indicates the status
of TXREG, TRMT (TXSTA<1>) shows the status of the
TSR. TRMT is a read only bit which is set when the
TSR is empty. No interrupt logic is tied to this bit, so the
user has to poll this bit in order to determine if the TSR
is empty. The TSR is not mapped in data memory, so it
is not available to the user.
Transmission is enabled by setting the TXEN
(TXSTA<5>) bit. The actual transmission will not occur
until TXREG has been loaded with data. The first data
bit will be shifted out on the next available rising edge
of the clock on the TX/CK pin. Data out is stable around
the falling edge of the synchronous clock
(Figure 14-11). The transmission can also be started
by first loading TXREG and then setting TXEN. This is
advantageous when slow baud rates are selected,
since BRG is kept in RESET when the TXEN, CREN,
and SREN bits are clear. Setting the TXEN bit will start
the BRG, creating a shift clock immediately. Normally
when transmission is first started, the TSR is empty, so
a transf er to TXREG will result in an immediate transf er
to the TSR, resulting in an empty TXREG.
Back-to-back transfers are possible.
Clearing TXEN during a transmission will cause the
transmission to be aborted and will reset the transmit-
ter. The RX/DT and TX/CK pins will revert to hi-imped-
ance. If either CREN or SREN are set during a
transmission, the transmission is aborted and the
RX/DT pin rev erts to a hi-impedance state (for a recep-
tion). The TX/CK pin will remain an output if the CSRC
bit is set (internal clock). The transmitter logic is not
reset, although it is disconnected from the pins. In order
to reset the transmitter, the user has to clear the TXEN
bit. If the SREN bit is set (to interrupt an ongoing trans-
mission and receive a single word), then after the single
word is received, SREN will be cleared and the serial
port will revert back to transmitting, since the TXEN bit
is still set. The DT line will immediately switch from
hi-impedance receive mode to transmit and star t driv-
ing. To avoid this, TXEN should be cleared.
In order to select 9-bit transmission, the
TX9 (TXSTA<6>) bit should be set and the ninth bit
should be written to TX9D (TXSTA<0>). The ninth bit
must be written before writing the 8-bit data to TXREG.
This is because a data write to TXREG can result in an
immediate transf er of the data to the TSR (if the TSR is
empty). If the TSR was empty and TXREG was written
before writing the “new” TX9D, the “present” value of
TX9D is loaded.
Steps to follow when setting up a Synchronous Master
Transmission:
1. Initialize the SPBRG register for the appropriate
baud rate (see Baud Rate Generator Section f or
details).
2. Enable the synchronous master serial port by
setting the SYNC, SPEN, and CSRC bits.
3. Ensure that the CREN and SREN bits are clear
(these bits override transmission when set).
4. If interrupts are desired, then set the TXIE bit
(the GLINTD bit must be clear and the PEIE bit
must be set).
5. If 9-bit transmission is desired, then set the TX9
bit.
6. If 9-bit transmission is selected, the ninth bit
should be loaded in TX9D.
7. Start transmission by loading data to the
TXREG register.
8. Enable the transmission by setting TXEN.
Writing the transmit data to the TXREG, then enabling
the transmit (setting TXEN) allo ws transmission to start
sooner than doing these two events in the reverse
order.
Note: To terminate a transmission, either clear
the SPEN bit, or the TXEN bit. This will
reset the transmit logic, so that it will be in
the proper state when transmit is
re-enabled.

14.3.2 USART SYNCHRONOUS MASTER
RECEPTION
Once synchronous mode is selected, reception is
enabled by setting either the SREN (RCSTA<5>) bit or
the CREN (RCSTA<4>) bit. Data is sampled on the
RX/DT pin on the falling edge of the clock. If SREN is
set, then only a single word is receiv ed. If CREN is set,
the reception is continuous until CREN is reset. If both
bits are set, then CREN takes precedence . After clock-
ing the last bit, the received data in the Receive Shift
Register (RSR) is transf erred to RCREG (if it is empty).
If the transfer is complete, the interrupt bit RCIF is set.
The actual interrupt can be enabled/disabled by set-
ting/clearing the RCIE bit. RCIF is a read only bit which
is RESET by the hardw are. In this case it is reset when
RCREG has been read and is empty. RCREG is a dou-
ble b uffered register; i.e., it is a two deep FIFO . It is pos-
sible for two bytes of data to be received and
transferred to the RCREG FIFO and a third byte to
begin shifting into the RSR. On the clocking of the last
bit of the third byte , if RCREG is still full, then the over-
run error bit OERR (RCSTA<1>) is set. The word in the
RSR will be lost. RCREG can be read twice to retr ieve
the two bytes in the FIFO. The OERR bit has to be
cleared in software. This is done b y clearing the CREN
bit. If OERR is set, transfers from RSR to RCREG are
inhibited, so it is essential to clear the OERR bit if it is
set. The 9th receiv e bit is b uff ered the same w a y as the
receive data. Reading the RCREG register will allow
the RX9D and FERR bits to be loaded with values for
the next received data; therefore, it is essential for the
user to read the RCSTA register before reading
RCREG in order not to lose the old FERR and RX9D
information.
Steps to follow when setting up a Synchronous Master
Reception:
1. Initialize the SPBRG register for the appropriate
baud rate. See Section 14.1 for details.
2. Enable the synchronous master serial port by
setting bits SYNC, SPEN, and CSRC.
3. If interrupts are desired, then set the RCIE bit.
4. If 9-bit reception is desired, then set the RX9 bit.
5. If a single reception is required, set bit SREN.
For continuous reception set bit CREN.
6. The RCIF bit will be set when reception is com-
plete and an interrupt will be generated if the
RCIE bit was set.
7. Read RCSTA to get the ninth bit (if enabled) and
determine if any error occurred during reception.
8. Read the 8-bit received data by reading
RCREG.
9. If any error occurred, clear the error by clearing
CREN.
Note: To terminate a reception, either clear the
SREN and CREN bits, or the SPEN bit.
This will reset the receive logic so that it will
be in the proper state when receive is
re-enabled.

14.4 USART Synchronous Slave Mode
The synchronous slave mode differs from the master
mode in the fact that the shift clock is supplied exter-
nally at the TX/CK pin (instead of being supplied inter-
nally in the master mode). This allows the device to
transfer or receive data in the SLEEP mode. The slave
mode is entered by clearing the CSRC (TXSTA<7>) bit.
14.4.1 USART SYNCHRONOUS SLAVE
TRANSMIT
The operation of the sync master and slave modes are
identical except in the case of the SLEEP mode.
If two words are written to TXREG and then the SLEEP
instruction executes, the following will occur. The first
word will immediately transf er to the TSR and will trans-
mit as the shift clock is supplied. The second word will
remain in TXREG. TXIF will not be set. When the first
word has been shifted out of TSR, TXREG will transfer
the second word to the TSR and the TXIF flag will now
be set. If TXIE is enabled, the interrupt will wake the
chip from SLEEP and if the global interrupt is enabled,
then the program will branch to interrupt vector
(0020h).
Steps to follow when setting up a Synchronous Slave
Transmission:
1. Enable the synchronous slave serial port by set-
ting the SYNC and SPEN bits and clearing the
CSRC bit.
2. Clear the CREN bit.
3. If interrupts are desired, then set the TXIE bit.
4. If 9-bit transmission is desired, then set the TX9
bit.
5. If 9-bit transmission is selected, the ninth bit
should be loaded in TX9D.
6. Start transmission by loading data to TXREG.
7. Enable the transmission by setting TXEN.
Writing the transmit data to the TXREG, then enabling
the transmit (setting TXEN) allo ws transmission to start
sooner than doing these two events in the reverse
order.
Note: To terminate a transmission, either clear
the SPEN bit, or the TXEN bit. This will
reset the transmit logic, so that it will be in
the proper state when transmit is
re-enabled.
14.4.2 USART SYNCHRONOUS SLAVE
RECEPTION
Operation of the synchronous master and slav e modes
are identical except in the case of the SLEEP mode.
Also, SREN is a don't care in slave mode.
If receive is enab led (CREN) prior to the SLEEP instruc-
tion, then a word may be received during SLEEP. On
completely receiving the word, the RSR will transf er the
data to RCREG (setting RCIF) and if the RCIE bit is set,
the interrupt generated will wake the chip from SLEEP.
If the global interrupt is enabled, the program will
branch to the interrupt vector (0020h).
Steps to follow when setting up a Synchronous Slave
Reception:
1. Enable the synchronous master serial port by
setting the SYNC and SPEN bits and clearing
the CSRC bit.
2. If interrupts are desired, then set the RCIE bit.
3. If 9-bit reception is desired, then set the RX9 bit.
4. To enable reception, set the CREN bit.
5. The RCIF bit will be set when reception is com-
plete and an interrupt will be generated if the
RCIE bit was set.
6. Read RCSTA to get the ninth bit (if enabled) and
determine if any error occurred during reception.
7. Read the 8-bit received data by reading
RCREG.
8. If any error occurred, clear the error by clearing
the CREN bit.
Note: To abort reception, either clear the SPEN
bit or the CREN bit (when in continuous
receive mode). This will reset the receive
logic, so that it will be in the proper state
when receive is re-enabled.

15.0 MASTER SYNCHRONOUS
SERIAL PORT (MSSP)
MODULE
The Master Synchronous Serial P ort (MSSP) module is
a serial interface useful for communicating with other
peripheral or microcontroller devices. These peripheral
devices may be serial EEPROMs, shift registers, dis-
play drivers, A/D converters, etc. The MSSP module
can operate in one of two modes:
Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI)
Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C)
Figure 15-1 shows a block diagram for the SPI mode,
while Figure 15-2, and Figure 15-3 shows the block

15.1 SPI Mode
The SPI mode allows 8-bits of data to be synchro-
nously transmitted and received simultaneously. All
four modes of SPI are supported. To accomplish com-
munication, typically three pins are used:
Serial Data Out (SDO)
Serial Data In (SDI)
Serial Clock (SCK)
Additionally a fourth pin may be used when in a slave
mode of operation:
Slave Select (SS)
15.1.1 OPERATION
When initializing the SPI, several options need to be
specified. This is done by programming the appropriate
control bits in the SSPCON1 register
(SSPCON1<5:0>) and SSPSTAT<7:6>. These control
bits allow the following to be specified:
Master Mode (SCK is the clock output)
Slave Mode (SCK is the clock input)
Clock Polarity (Idle state of SCK)
Data input sample phase
(middle or end of data output time)
Clock edge
(output data on rising/falling edge of SCK)
Clock Rate (Master mode only)
Slave Select Mode (Slave mode only)
Figure 15-7 shows the block diagram of the MSSP
module when in SPI mode.
FIGURE 15-7: MSSP BLOCK DIAGRAM
(SPI MODE)
The MSSP consists of a transmit/receiv e Shift Register
(SSPSR) and a BUFfer register (SSPBUF). The
SSPSR shifts the data in and out of the device, MSb
first. The SSPBUF holds the data that was written to the
SSPSR, until the received data is ready. Once the
8-bits of data hav e been received, that b yte is mov ed to
the SSPBUF register. Then the buffer full detect bit BF
(SSPSTAT<0>) and the interrupt flag bit SSPIF
(PIR2<7>) are set. This double buffering of the
received data (SSPBUF) allows the next byte to start
reception before reading the data that was just
received. Any write to the SSPBUF register during
transmission/reception of data will be ignored, and the
write collision detect bit WCOL (SSPCON1<7>) will be
set. User software must clear the WCOL bit so that it
can be determined if the following write(s) to the SSP-
BUF register completed successfully.

When the application software is expecting to receive
valid data, the SSPB UF should be read bef ore the ne xt
byte of data to transfer is written to the SSPBUF. Buff er
full bit, BF (SSPSTAT<0>), indicates when SSPBUF
has been loaded with the received data (transmission
is complete). When the SSPBUF is read, bit BF is
cleared. This data may be irrelevant if the SPI is only a
transmitter. Generally the MSSP Interrupt is used to
determine when the transmission/reception has com-
pleted. The SSPBUF must be read and/or written. If the
interrupt method is not going to be used, then software
polling can be done to ensure that a write collision does
not occur. Example 15-1 shows the loading of the
SSPBUF (SSPSR) for data transmission.
EXAMPLE 15-1: LOADING THE SSPBUF
(SSPSR) REGISTER
The SSPSR is not directly readable or writable , and can
only be accessed by addressing the SSPBUF register.
Additionally, the MSSP status register (SSPSTAT) indi-
cates the various status conditions.

15.1.2 ENABLING SPI I/O
To enable the serial port, MSSP Enable bit, SSPEN
(SSPCON1<5>) must be set. To reset or reconfigure
SPI mode, clear bit SSPEN, re-initialize the SSPCON
registers, and then set bit SSPEN. This configures the
SDI, SDO , SCK, and SS pins as serial port pins. F or the
pins to behave as the serial por t function, some must
have their data direction bits (in the DDR register)
appropriately programmed. That is:
SDI is automatically controlled by the SPI module
SDO must have DDRB<7> cleared
SCK (Master mode) must have DDRB<6> cleared
SCK (Slave mode) must have DDRB<6> set
•SS
must have PORTA<2> set
Any serial port function that is not desired may be o ver-
ridden by programming the corresponding data direc-
tion (DDR) register to the opposite value.
15.1.3 TYPICAL CONNECTION
Figure 15-8 shows a typical connection between two
microcontrollers. The master controller (Processor 1)
initiates the data transfer by sending the SCK signal.
Data is shifted out of both shift registers on their pro-
grammed cloc k edge, and latched on the opposite edge
of the clock. Both processors should be prog rammed to
same Clock P olarity (CKP), then both controllers would
send and receive data at the same time. Whether the
data is meaningful (or dummy data) depends on the
application software. This leads to three scenarios for
data transmission:
Master sends data Slave sends dummy data
Master sends data Slave sends data
Master sends dummy data Slave sends data

15.1.4 MASTER MODE
The master can initiate the data transfer at any time
because it controls the SCK. The master determines
when the slave (Processor 2, Figure 15-8) is to broad-
cast data by the software protocol.
In master mode the data is transmitted/received as
soon as the SSPBUF register is written to. If the SPI is
only going to receive , the SDO output could be disabled
(programmed as an input). The SSPSR register will
continue to shift in the signal present on the SDI pin at
the programmed cloc k rate . As each byte is received, it
will be loaded into the SSPBUF register as if a normal
received byte (interrupts and status bits appropriately
set). This could be useful in receiver applications as a
“line activity monitor” mode.
The clock polarity is selected by appropriately program-
ming bit CKP (SSPCON1<4>). This then would give
waveforms for SPI communication as shown in
Figure 15-9, Figure 15-11, and Figure 15-12 where the
MSb is transmitted first. In master mode, the SPI clock
rate (bit rate) is user progr ammable to be one of the f ol-
lowing:
•F
OSC/4 (or TCY)
•F
OSC/16 (or 4 • TCY)
•F
OSC/64 (or 16 • TCY)
Timer2 output/2
This allows a maximum bit cloc k frequency (at 33 MHz)
of 8.25 MHz.
Figure 15-9 shows the waveforms for master mode.
When CKE = 1, the SDO data is valid before there is a
clock edge on SCK. The change of the input sample is
shown based on the state of the SMP bit. The time
when the SSPBUF is loaded with the received data is
shown.

15.1.5 SLAVE MODE
In slave mode, the data is transmitted and received as
the external clock pulses appear on SCK. When the
last bit is latched the interrupt flag bit SSPIF (PIR2<7>)
is set.
While in slave mode the external clock is supplied by
the external clock source on the SCK pin. This external
clock must meet the minimum high and low times as
specified in the electrical specifications.
While in sleep mode, the slave can transmit/receive
data. When a byte is received the device will wake-up
from sleep.
15.1.6 SLAVE SELECT SYNCHRONIZATION
The SS pin allows a synchronous slave mode. The
SPI must be in slave mode with SS pin control
enabled (SSPCON1<3:0> = 04h). The pin must not
be driven low for the SS pin to function as an input.
The RA2 Data Latch must be high. When the SS pin
is low, transmission and reception are enabled and
the SDO pin is driven. When the SS pin goes high,
the SDO pin is no longer driven, even if in the
middle of a transmitted byte, and becomes a
floating output. External pull-up/ pull-down resistors
may be desirable, depending on the application.
When the SPI module resets, the bit counter is forced
to 0. This can be done by either forcing the SS pin to a
high level or clearing the SSPEN bit.
To emulate two-wire communication, the SDO pin can
be connected to the SDI pin. When the SPI needs to
operate as a receiv er the SDO pin can be configured as
an input. This disables transmissions from the SDO.
The SDI can always be left as an input (SDI function)
since it cannot create a bus conflict.
Note: When the SPI is in Slav e Mode with SS pin
control enabled, (SSPCON<3:0> = 0100)
the SPI module will reset if the SS pin is set
to VDD.
Note: If the SPI is used in Slave Mode with
CKE = '1', then the SS pin control must be
enabled.

15.1.7 SLEEP OPERATION
In master mode all module clocks are halted, and the
transmission/reception will remain in that state until the
device wakes from sleep. After the device returns to
normal mode, the module will continue to trans-
mit/receive data.
In slave mode, the SPI transmit/receive shift register
operates asynchronously to the de vice. This allows the
device to be placed in sleep mode, and data to be
shifted into the SPI transmit/receive shift register.
When all 8-bits hav e been received, the MSSP interrupt
flag bit will be set and if enabled will wake the device
from sleep.
15.1.8 EFFECTS OF A RESET
A reset disables the MSSP module and terminates the
current transfer.

15.2 MSSP I2C Operation
The MSSP module in I2C mode fully implements all
master and slave functions (including general call sup-
port) and provides interrupts on start and stop bits in
hardware to determine a free bus (multi-master func-
tion). The MSSP module implements the standard
mode specifications as well as 7-bit and 10-bit address-
ing. Appendix E: gives an ov erview of the I2C bus spec-
ification.
Refer to Application Note AN578,
"Use of the SSP
Module in the I
2
C Multi-Master Environment."
A "glitch" filter is on the SCL and SD A pins when the pin
is an input. This filter operates in both the 100 kHz and
400 kHz modes. In the 100 kHz mode , when these pins
are an output, there is a slew rate control of the pin that
is independant of device frequency.

Two pins are used f or data tr ansfer. These are the SCL
pin, which is the clock, and the SDA pin, which is the
data. The SDA and SCL pins that are automatically
configured when the I2C mode is enabled. The SSP
module functions are enabled by setting SSP Enable
bit SSPEN (SSPCON1<5>).
The MSSP module has six registers for I2C operation.
These are the:
SSP Control Register1 (SSPCON1)
SSP Control Register2 (SSPCON2)
SSP Status Register (SSPSTAT)
Serial Receive/Transmit Buffer (SSPBUF)
SSP Shift Register (SSPSR) - Not directly acces-
sible
SSP Address Register (SSPADD)
The SSPCON1 register allows control of the I2C oper-
ation. Four mode selection bits (SSPCON1<3:0>) allo w
one of the following I2C modes to be selected:
•I
2
C Slave mode (7-bit address)
•I
2
C Slave mode (10-bit address)
•I
2
C Master mode, clock = OSC/4 (SSPADD +1)
Before selecting any I2C mode, the SCL and SDA pins
must be programmed to inputs by setting the appropri-
ate DDR bits. Selecting an I2C mode, by setting the
SSPEN bit, enables the SCL and SDA pins to be used
as the clock and data lines in I2C mode.

The SSPSTAT register gives the status of the data
transfer. This information includes detection of a
START or STOP bit, specifies if the received byte was
data or address if the next byte is the completion of
10-bit address, and if this will be a read or write data
transfer.
The SSPBUF is the register to which transfer data is
written to or read from. The SSPSR register shifts the
data in or out of the device. In receive operations, the
SSPBUF and SSPSR create a doubled buffered
receiver. This allo ws reception of the next byte to begin
before reading the last b yte of received data. When the
complete byte is received, it is transferred to the
SSPBUF register and flag bit SSPIF is set. If another
complete byte is received before the SSPBUF register
is read, a receiver overflow has occurred and bit
SSPOV (SSPCON1<6>) is set and the byte in the
SSPSR is lost.
The SSPADD register holds the slav e address. In 10-bit
mode, the user needs to write the high byte of the
address (1111 0 A9 A8 0). Following the high byte
address match, the low b yte of the address needs to be
loaded (A7:A0).
15.2.1 SLAVE MODE
In slave mode, the SCL and SDA pins must be config-
ured as inputs. The MSSP module will override the
input state with the output data when required
(slave-transmitter).
When an address is matched or the data transfer after
an address match is received, the hardware automati-
cally will generate the acknowledge (ACK) pulse, and
then load the SSPBUF register with the receiv ed value
currently in the SSPSR register.
There are cer tain conditions that will cause the MSSP
module not to give this ACK pulse. These are if either
(or both):
a) The buffer full bit BF (SSPSTAT<0>) was set
before the transfer was received.
b) The overflow bit SSPOV (SSPCON1<6>) was
set before the transfer was received.
If the BF bit is set, the SSPSR register value is not
loaded into the SSPBUF, but bit SSPIF and SSPO V are
set. Table 15-2 shows what happens when a data
transf er byte is receiv ed, given the status of bits BF and
SSPOV. The shaded cells show the condition where
user software did not properly clear the ov erflow condi-
tion. Flag bit BF is cleared b y reading the SSPBUF reg-
ister while bit SSPOV is cleared through software.
The SCL clock input must have a minimum high and
low time for proper operation. The high and low times
of the I2C specification as well as the requirement of the
MSSP module is shown in timing parameter #100 and
parameter #101 of the Electrical Specifications.

PIC17C7XX
15.2.1.1 ADDRESSING
Once the MSSP module has been enabled, it waits for
a START condition to occur. Following the START con-
dition, the 8-bits are shifted into the SSPSR register . All
incoming bits are sampled with the rising edge of the
clock (SCL) line. The value of register SSPSR<7:1> is
compared to the value of the SSPADD register. The
address is compared on the falling edge of the eighth
clock (SCL) pulse. If the addresses match, and the BF
and SSPOV bits are clear, the following events occur:
a) The SSPSR register value is loaded into the
SSPBUF register on the falling edge of the 8th
SCL pulse.
b) The buffer full bit, BF is set on the f alling edge of
the 8th SCL pulse.
c) An ACK pulse is generated.
d) SSP interrupt flag bit, SSPIF (PIR2<7>) is set
(interrupt is generated if enabled) - on the f alling
edge of the 9th SCL pulse.
In 10-bit address mode, two address bytes need to be
received by the slave. The five Most Significant bits
(MSbs) of the first address byte specify if this is a 10-bit
address. Bit R/W (SSPSTAT<2>) must specify a write
so the slave device will receive the second address
byte. For a 10-bit address the first byte would equal
1111 0 A9 A8 0’, where A9 and A8 are the two MSbs
of the address. The sequence of events for a 10-bit
address is as follo ws, with steps 7- 9 f or slav e-transmit-
ter:
1. Receive first (high) byte of Address (bits SSPIF,
BF, and bit UA (SSPSTAT<1>) are set).
2. Update the SSPADD register with second (low)
byte of Address (clears bit UA and releases the
SCL line).
3. Read the SSPBUF register (clears bit BF) and
clear flag bit SSPIF.
4. Receive second (low) byte of Address (bits
SSPIF, BF, and UA are set).
5. Update the SSPADD register with the first (high)
byte of Address. This will clear bit UA and
release the SCL line.
6. Read the SSPBUF register (clears bit BF) and
clear flag bit SSPIF.
7. Receive Repeated Start condition.
8. Receive first (high) byte of Address (bits SSPIF
and BF are set).
9. Read the SSPBUF register (clears bit BF) and
clear flag bit SSPIF.
15.2.1.2 SLAVE RECEPTION
When the R/W bit of the address byte is clear and an
address match occurs, the R/W bit of the SSPSTAT
register is cleared. The received address is loaded into
the SSPBUF register.
When the address byte overflow condition exists, then
no ackno wledge (ACK) pulse is giv en. An o verflow con-
dition is defined as either bit BF (SSPSTAT<0>) is set
or bit SSPOV (SSPCON1<6>) is set.
An SSP interrupt is generated for each data transfer
byte . Flag bit SSPIF (PIR2<7>) must be cleared in soft-
ware. The SSPSTAT register is used to determine the
status of the received byte.
Note: Following the Repeated Start condition
(step 7) in 10-bit mode, the user only
needs to match the first 7-bit address. The
user does not update the SSPADD for the
second half of the address.
Note: The SSPBUF will be loaded if the SSPOV
bit is set and the BF flag is cleared. If a
read of the SSPBUF was performed, but
the user did not clear the state of the
SSPOV bit before the next receive
occured. The ACK is not sent and the SSP-
BUF is updated.

15.2.1.3 SLAVE TRANSMISSION
When the R/W bit of the incoming address byte is set
and an address match occurs, the R/W bit of the
SSPSTAT register is set. The received address is
loaded into the SSPBUF register. The ACK pulse will
be sent on the ninth bit, and the SCLpin is held low . The
transmit data must be loaded into the SSPBUF register ,
which also loads the SSPSR register. Then SCL pin
should be enabled b y setting bit CKP (SSPCON1<4>).
The master must monitor the SCL pin prior to asserting
another clock pulse. The slave devices may be holding
off the master by stretching the clock. The eight data
bits are shifted out on the falling edge of the SCL input.
This ensures that the SDA signal is valid during the
SCL high time (Figure 15-16).
An SSP interrupt is generated for each data transfer
byte. The SSPIF flag bit must be cleared in software,
and the SSPSTAT register is used to determine the sta-
tus of the byte tranfer. The SSPIF flag bit is set on the
falling edge of the ninth clock pulse.
As a slave-transmitter, the ACK pulse from the mas-
ter-receiver is latched on the rising edge of the ninth
SCL input pulse. If the SDA line was high (not ACK),
then the data transfer is complete. When the not ACK
is latched by the slave, the slave logic is reset and the
slave then monitors for another occurrence of the
START bit. If the SDA line was low (ACK), the transmit
data must be loaded into the SSPBUF register, which
also loads the SSPSR register. Then the SCL pin
should be enabled by setting the CKP bit.

15.2.2 GENERAL CALL ADDRESS SUPPORT
The addressing procedure for the I2C bus is such that
the first byte after the START condition usually deter-
mines which device will be the slave addressed by the
master. The exception is the general call address
which can address all devices. When this address is
used, all devices should, in theory, respond with an
acknowledge.
The general call address is one of eight addresses
reserved for specific purposes by the I2C protocol. It
consists of all 0’s with R/W = 0
The general call address is recognized when the Gen-
eral Call Enable bit (GCEN) is enab led (SSPCON2<7>
is set). Following a start-bit detect, 8-bits are shifted
into SSPSR and the address is compared against
SSPADD, and is also compared to the general call
address, fixed in hardware.
If the general call address matches, the SSPSR is
transfered to the SSPBUF, the BF flag is set (eighth
bit), and on the falling edge of the ninth bit (ACK bit)
the SSPIF flag is set.
When the interrupt is serviced. The source for the
interrupt can be checked by reading the contents of
the SSPBUF to determine if the address was device
specific or a general call address.
In 10-bit mode, the SSPADD is required to be updated
for the second half of the address to match, and the
UA bit is set (SSPSTAT<1>). If the general call
address is sampled when GCEN is set while the slave
is configured in 10-bit address mode, then the second
half of the address is not necessary, the UA bit will not
be set, and the slave will begin receiving data after the
acknowledge (Figure 15-19).

15.2.5 MASTER MODE
Master mode of operation is supported by interrupt
generation on the detection of the START and STOP
conditions. The STOP (P) and START (S) bits are
cleared from a reset or when the MSSP module is dis-
abled. Control of the I2C bus may be taken when the P
bit is set, or the bus is idle with both the S and P bits
clear.
In master mode, the SCL and SDA lines are manipu-
lated by the MSSP hardware.
The following events will cause SSP Interr upt Flag bit,
SSPIF, to be set (SSP Interrupt if enabled):
START condition
STOP condition
Data transfer byte transmitted/received

15.2.6 MULTI-MASTER MODE
In multi-master mode, the interrupt generation on the
detection of the START and STOP conditions allows
the determination of when the bus is free. The STOP
(P) and START (S) bits are cleared from a reset or
when the MSSP module is disabled. Control of the I2C
bus may be taken when bit P (SSPSTAT<4>) is set, or
the bus is idle with both the S and P bits clear. When
the bus is busy, enabling the SSP Interrupt will gener-
ate the interrupt when the STOP condition occurs.
In multi-master operation, the SDA line must be moni-
tored, for abitration, to see if the signal level is the
expected output level. This check is performed in hard-
ware, with the result placed in the BCLIF bit.
The states where arbitration can be lost are:
Address Transf er
Data Transf er
A Start Condition
A Repeated Start Condition
An Acknowledge Condition
15.2.7 I2C MASTER MODE SUPPORT
Master Mode is enabled by setting and clearing the
appropriate SSPM bits in SSPCON1 and by setting
the SSPEN bit. Once master mode is enabled, the
user has six options.
- Assert a start condition on SDA and SCL.
- Assert a Repeated Start condition on SDA and
SCL.
- Write to the SSPBUF register initiating trans-
mission of data/address.
- Generate a stop condition on SDA and SCL.
- Configure the I2C port to receive data.
- Generate an Ackno wledge condition at the end
of a received byte of data.
Note: The MSSP Module when configured in I2C
Master Mode does not allow queueing of
events. For instance: The user is not
allowed to initiate a start condition, and
immediately write the SSPBUF register to
initiate transmission before the START
condition is complete. In this case the
SSPBUF will not be written to, and the
WCOL bit will be set, indicating that a write
to the SSPBUF did not occur.
15.2.7.1 I2C MASTER MODE OPERATION
The master device generates all of the serial clock
pulses and the START and STOP conditions. A trans-
fer is ended with a STOP condition or with a Repeated
Star t condition. Since the Repeated Star t condition is
also the beginning of the next serial transfer, the I2C
bus will not be released.
In Master Transmitter mode serial data is output
through SDA, while SCL outputs the serial clock. The
first byte transmitted contains the slave address of the
receiving device , (7 bits) and the Read/Write (R/W) bit.
In this case the R/W bit will be logic '0'. Serial data is
transmitted 8 bits at a time. After each byte is tr ansmit-
ted, an ackno wledge bit is received. START and STOP
conditions are output to indicate the beginning and the
end of a serial transfer.
In Master receive mode the first byte transmitted con-
tains the slave address of the transmitting device
(7 bits) and the R/W bit. In this case the R/W bit will be
logic '1'. Thus the first byte transmitted is a 7-bit slave
address followed by a '1' to indicate receive bit. Serial
data is received via SDA while SCL outputs the serial
clock. Serial data is received 8 bits at a time. After each
byte is received, an acknowledge bit is transmitted.
START and STOP conditions indicate the beginning
and end of transmission.
The baud rate generator used for SPI mode operation
is now used to set the SCL clock frequency for either
100 kHz, 400 kHz, or 1 MHz I2C operation. The baud
rate generator reload value is contained in the lower 7
bits of the SSPADD register. The baud rate generator
will automatically begin counting on a write to the
SSPBUF. Once the given operation is complete (i.e.
transmission of the last data bit is f ollow ed by A CK) the
internal clock will automatically stop counting and the
SCL pin will remain in its last state
1998 Microchip Technology Inc. DS30289A-page 151
PIC17C7XX
A typical transmit sequence would go as follows:
a) The user generates a Start Condition by setting
the START enable bit (SEN) in SSPCON2.
b) SSPIF is set. The module will wait the required
start time before any other operation takes
place.
c) The user loads the SSPBUF with address to
transmit.
d) Address is shifted out the SDA pin until all 8 bits
are transmitted.
e) The MSSP Module shifts in the ACK bit from the
slave device, and writes its value into the
SSPCON2 register ( SSPCON2<6>).
f) The module generates an interrupt at the end of
the ninth clock cycle by setting SSPIF.
g) The user loads the SSPBUF with eight bits of
data.
h) DATA is shifted out the SDA pin until all 8 bits
are transmitted.
i) The MSSP Module shifts in the ACK bit from the
slave device, and writes its value into the
SSPCON2 register ( SSPCON2<6>).
j) The MSSP module generates an interrupt at the
end of the ninth clock cycle b y setting the SSPIF
bit.
k) The user generates a STOP condition b y setting
the STOP enable bit PEN in SSPCON2.
l) Interr upt is generated once the STOP condition
is complete.
15.2.8 BAUD RATE GENERATOR
In I2C master mode, the reload value for the BRG is
located in the lower 7 bits of the SSPADD register
(Figure 15-21). When the BRG is loaded with this
value, the BRG counts down to 0 and stops until
another reload has taken place. The BRG count is
decremented twice per instruction cycle (TCY), on the
Q2 and Q4 clock.
In I2C master mode, the BRG is reloaded automati-
cally. If Clock Arbitration is taking place for instance,
the BRG will be reloaded when the SCL pin is sampled
high (Figure 15-22).

15.2.9 I2C MASTER MODE START CONDITION
TIMING
To initiate a START condition the user sets the start
condition enable bit, SEN (SSPCON2<0>). If the SDA
and SCL pins are sampled high, the baud rate genera-
tor is re-loaded with the contents of SSPADD<6:0>,
and starts its count. If SCL and SDA are both sampled
high when the baud rate generator times out (TBRG),
the SDA pin is driven low. The action of the SDA being
driven low while SCL is high is the START condition,
and causes the S bit (SSPSTAT<3>) to be set. Follow-
ing this, the baud rate generator is reloaded with the
contents of SSPADD<6:0> and resumes its count.
When the baud rate generator times out (TBRG) the
SEN bit (SSPCON2<0>) will be automatically cleared
by hardware, the baud rate generator is suspended
leaving the SD A line held low, and the START condition
is complete.
Note: If at the beginning of START condition the
SDA and SCL pins are already sampled
low, or if during the START condition the
SCL line is sampled low before the SDA
line is driven low , a b us collision occurs, the
Bus Collision Interrupt Flag (BCLIF) is set,
the START condition is aborted, and the
I2C module is reset into its IDLE state.
15.2.9.1 WCOL STATUS FLAG
If the user writes the SSPBUF when an START
sequence is in progress, then WCOL is set and the
contents of the buff er are unchanged (the write doesn’t
occur).
Note: Because queueing of events is not
allowed, writing to the lower 5 bits of
SSPCON2 is disabled until the START
condition is complete.

15.2.10 I2C MASTER MODE REPEATED START
CONDITION TIMING
A Repeated Star t condition occurs when the RSEN bit
(SSPCON2<1>) is programmed high and the I2C mod-
ule is in the idle state. When the RSEN bit is set, the
SCL pin is asserted low. When the SCL pin is sam-
pled low, the baud rate generator is loaded with the
contents of SSPADD<6:0>, and begins counting. The
SDA pin is released (brought high) for one baud rate
generator count (TBRG). When the baud r ate generator
times out, if SDA is sampled high, the SCL pin will be
de-asserted (brought high). When SCL is sampled
high the baud rate generator is re-loaded with the con-
tents of SSPADD<6:0> and begins counting. SDA
and SCL must be sampled high for one TBRG. This
action is then followed by assertion of the SDA pin
(SDA is low) for one TBRG while SCL is high. Follow-
ing this, the RSEN bit in the SSPCON2 register will be
automatically cleared, and the baud rate generator is
not reloaded, leaving the SDA pin held low. As soon
as a start condition is detected on the SDA and SCL
pins, the S bit (SSPSTAT<3>) will be set. The SSPIF
bit will not be set until the baud rate generator has
timed-out.
Note 1: If the RSEN is programmed while any
other event is in progress, it will not take
effect.
Note 2: A bus collision during the Repeated Star t
condition occurs if:
SD A is sampled lo w when SCL goes
from low to high.
SCL goes low before SDA is
asserted low. This may indicate that
another master is attempting to
transmit a data "1".
Immediately following the SSPIF bit getting set, the
user may write the SSPBUF with the 7-bit address in
7-bit mode, or the default first address in 10-bit mode.
After the first eight bits are transmitted and an ACK is
received, the user may then transmit an additional
eight bits of address (10-bit mode) or eight bits of data
(7-bit mode).
15.2.10.1 WCOL STATUS FLAG
If the user writes the SSPBUF when a Repeated Star t
sequence is in progress, then WCOL is set and the
contents of the buff er are unchanged (the write doesn’t
occur).
Note: Because queueing of events is not
allowed, writing of the lower 5 bits of
SSPCON2 is disabled until the Repeated
Start condition is complete.

15.2.11 I2C MASTER MODE TRANSMISSION
Transmission of a data byte, a 7-bit address, or either
half of a 10-bit address is accomplished by simply writ-
ing a value to SSPBUF register. This action will set
the buff er full flag (BF) and allo w the baud r ate genera-
tor to begin counting and start the next transmission.
Each bit of address/data will be shifted out onto the
SDA pin after the falling edge of SCL is asserted (see
data hold time spec). SCL is held low for one baud
rate generator roll over count (TBRG). Data should be
valid before SCL is released high (see Data setup time
spec). When the SCL pin is released high, it is held
that way for TBRG, the data on the SDA pin must
remain stable for that duration and some hold time
after the next falling edge of SCL. After the eighth bit
is shifted out (the falling edge of the eighth clock), the
BF flag is cleared and the master releases SDA allow-
ing the slave device being addressed to respond with
an ACK bit during the ninth bit time, if an address
match occurs or if data was received properly. The
status of ACK is read into the ACKDT on the falling
edge of the ninth clock. If the master receives an
acknowledge, the acknowledge status bit (AKSTAT) is
cleared. If not, the bit is set. After the ninth clock the
SSPIF is set, and the master clock (baud rate genera-
tor) is suspended until the next data byte is loaded into
the SSPBUF leaving SCL low and SDA unchanged.
(Figure 15-29)
After the write to the SSPBUF, each bit of address will
be shifted out on the falling edge of SCL until all seven
address bits and the R/W bit are completed. On the f all-
ing edge of the eighth clock the master will de-assert
the SDA pin allowing the slave to respond with an
ackno wledge. On the falling edge of the ninth clock the
master will sample the SDA pin to see if the address
was recognized by a slave. The status of the ACK bit is
loaded into the ACKSTAT status bit (SSPCON2<6>).
Following the falling edge of the ninth clock transmis-
sion of the address, the SSPIF is set, the BF flag is
cleared, and the baud rate generator is turned off until
another write to the SSPBUF takes place, holding SCL
low and allowing SDA to float.
15.2.11.1 BF STATUS FLAG
In transmit mode, the BF bit (SSPSTAT<0>) is set
when the CPU writes to SSPBUF and is cleared when
all 8 bits are shifted out.
15.2.11.2 WCOL STATUS FLAG
If the user writes the SSPBUF when a transmit is
already in progress (i.e. SSPSR is still shifting out a
data byte), then WCOL is set and the contents of the
buffer are unchanged (the write doesn’t occur).
WCOL must be cleared in software.
15.2.11.3 AKSTAT STATUS FLAG
In transmit mode, the AKSTAT bit (SSPCON2<6>) is
cleared when the slave has sent an acknowledge
(ACK = 0), and is set when the slave does not
acknowledge (ACK = 1). A slave sends an acknowl-
edge when it has recognized its address (including a
general call), or when the slave has proper ly received
its data.

15.2.12 I2C MASTER MODE RECEPTION
Master mode reception is enabled b y progr amming the
receive enable bit, RCEN (SSPCON2<3>).
The baud rate generator begins counting, and on
each rollover, the state of the SCL pin changes (high
to low/low to high), and data is shifted into the SSPSR.
After the falling edge of the eighth clock, the receive
enable flag is automatically cleared, the contents of
the SSPSR are loaded into the SSPBUF, the BF flag is
set, the SSPIF is set, and the baud rate generator is
suspended from counting, holding SCL low. The SSP
is now in IDLE state, awaiting the next command.
When the buffer is read by the CPU, the BF flag is
automatically cleared. The user can then send an
acknowledge bit at the end of reception, by setting the
acknowledge sequence enable bit, ACKEN
(SSPCON2<4>).
Note: The SSP Module must be in an IDLE
STATE before the RCEN bit is set, or the
RCEN bit will be disregarded.
15.2.12.1 BF STATUS FLAG
In receive operation, BF is set when an address or
data byte is loaded into SSPBUF from SSPSR. It is
cleared when SSPBUF is read.
15.2.12.2 SSPOV STATUS FLAG
In receive operation, SSPOV is set when 8 bits are
received into the SSPSR, and the BF flag is already
set from a previous reception.
15.2.12.3 WCOL STATUS FLAG
If the user writes the SSPBUF when a receive is
already in progress (i.e. SSPSR is still shifting in a
data byte), then WCOL is set and the contents of the
buffer are unchanged (the write doesn’t occur).

15.2.13 ACKNOWLEDGE SEQUENCE TIMING
An acknowledge sequence is enabled by setting the
acknowledge sequence enable bit, ACKEN
(SSPCON2<4>). When this bit is set, the SCL pin is
pulled low and the contents of the acknowledge data
bit is presented on the SDA pin. If the user wishes to
generate an acknowledge, then the ACKDT bit should
be cleared. If not, the user should set the ACKDT bit
before starting an acknowledge sequence. The baud
rate generator then counts for one rollover period
(TBRG), and the SCL pin is de-asserted (pulled high).
When the SCL pin is sampled high (clock arbitration),
the baud rate generator counts for TBRG . The SCL pin
is then pulled low. Following this, the ACKEN bit is
automatically cleared, the baud rate generator is
turned off, and the SSP module then goes into IDLE
mode. (Figure 15-32)

15.2.14 STOP CONDITION TIMING
A stop bit is asserted on the SDA pin at the end of a
receive/transmit by setting the Stop Sequence Enable
bit PEN (SSPCON2<2>). At the end of a receive/trans-
mit the SCL line is held low after the falling edge of the
ninth clock. When the PEN bit is set, the master will
asser t the SDA line low . When the SDA line is sam-
pled low, the baud rate generator is reloaded and
counts down to 0. When the baud rate generator
times out, the SCL pin will be brought high, and one
TBRG (baud rate generator rollover count) later, the
SDA pin will be de-asserted. When the SDA pin is
sampled high while SCL is high, the P bit (SSP-
STAT<4>) is set. A TBRG later the PEN bit is cleared
and the SSPIF bit is set. (Figure 15-34)
Whenever the fir mware decides to take control of the
bus , it will first determine if the bus is b usy by checking
the S and P bits in the SSPSTAT register. If the bus is
busy, then the CPU can be interrupted (notified) when
a Stop bit is detected (i.e. bus is free).
15.2.14.1 WCOL STATUS FLAG
If the user writes the SSPBUF when a STOP
sequence is in progress, then WCOL is set and the

15.2.15 CLOCK ARBITRATION
Clock arbitration occurs when the master during any
receive, transmit, or repeated start/stop condition
de-asserts the SCL pin (SCL allowed to float high).
When the SCL pin is allowed to float high, the baud
rate generator (BRG) is suspended from counting until
the SCL pin is actually sampled high. When the SCL
pin is sampled high, the baud rate generator is
reloaded with the contents of SSPADD<6:0> and
begins counting. This ensures that the SCL high time
will always be at least one BRG rollover count in the
event that the clock is held low by an exter nal device.
(Figure 15-36)
15.2.16 SLEEP OPERATION
While in sleep mode, the I2C module can receive
addresses or data, and when an address match or

15.2.18 MULTI -MASTER COMMUNICATION, BUS
COLLISION, AND BUS ARBITRATION
Multi-Master mode suppor t is achieved by bus arbitra-
tion. When the master outputs address/data bits onto
the SDA pin, arbitration takes place when the master
outputs a '1' on SDA by letting SDA float high and
another master asserts a '0'. When the SCL pin floats
high, data should be stable. If the expected data on
SD A is a '1' and the data sampled on the SDA pin = '0',
then a bus collision has taken place. The master will
set the Bus Collision Interrupt Flag, BCLIF and reset
the I2C port to its IDLE state. (Figure 15-37).
If a transmit was in progress when the bus collision
occurred, the transmission is halted, the BF flag is
cleared, the SDA and SCL lines are de-asser ted, and
the SSPBUF can be written to. When the user ser-
vices the bus collision interrupt service routine, and if
the I2C bus is free, the user can resume communica-
tion by asserting a START condition.
If a START, Repeated Start, STOP, or Acknowledge
condition was in progress when the bus collision
occurred, the condition is aborted, the SDA and SCL
lines are de-asserted, and the respective control bits in
the SSPCON2 register are cleared. When the user
services the bus collision interrupt service routine, and
if the I2C bus is free , the user can resume comm unica-
tion by asserting a START condition.
The Master will continue to monitor the SDA and SCL
pins, and if a STOP condition occurs, the SSPIF bit will
be set.
A write to the SSPBUF will start the transmission of
data at the first data bit, regardless of where the trans-
mitter left off when bus collision occurred.
In multi-master mode, the interrupt generation on the
detection of star t and stop conditions allows the deter-
mination of when the bus is free. Control of the I2C
bus can be tak en when the P bit is set in the SSPSTAT
register, or the bus is idle and the S and P bits are
cleared.

15.2.18.1 BUS COLLISION DURING A START
CONDITION
During a START condition, a bus collision occurs if:
a) SDA or SCL are sampled lo w at the beginning of
the START condition (Figure 15-38)
b) SCL is sampled low before SD A is asserted low .
(Figure 15-39)
During a START condition both the SDA and the SCL
pins are monitored.
If: the SDA pin is already low
or the SCL pin is already low,
then:
the START condition is aborted,
and the BCLIF flag is set,
and the SSP module is reset to its IDLE state
(Figure 15-38).
The START condition begins with the SDA and SCL
pins de-asser ted. When the SDA pin is sampled high,
the baud rate generator is loaded from SSPADD<6:0>
and counts down to 0. If the SCL pin is sampled low
while SDA is high, a bus collision occurs, because it is
assumed that another master is attempting to drive a
data '1' during the START condition.
If the SDA pin is sampled low during this count, the
BRG is reset and the SDA line is asserted early
(Figure 15-40). If howe ver a '1' is sampled on the SDA
pin, the SDA pin is asserted low at the end of the BRG
count. The baud rate generator is then reloaded and
counts down to 0, and during this time, if the SCL pins
is sampled as '0', a bus collision does not occur. At
the end of the BRG count the SCL pin is asser ted low.
Note: The reason that bus collision is not a f actor
during a START condition is that no two
bus masters can assert a START condition
at the exact same time. Therefore, one
master will always assert SDA before the
other . This condition does not cause a b us
collision because the two masters must be
allowed to arbitr ate the first address follo w-
ing the START condition, and if the
address is the same, arbitration must be
allowed to continue into the data portion,
REPEATED START, or STOP conditions.

15.2.18.2 BUS COLLISION DURING A REPEATED
START CONDITION
During a Repeated Start condition, a bus collision
occurs if:
a) A low level is sampled on SDA when SCL goes
from low level to high level.
b) SCL goes low before SDA is asserted low, indi-
cating that another master is attempting to trans-
mit a data ’1’.
When the user de-asser ts SDA and the pin is allowed
to float high, the BRG is loaded with SSPADD<6:0>,
and counts down to 0. The SCL pin is then
de-asserted, and when sampled high, the SDA pin is
sampled. If SDA is low, a bus collision has occurred
(i.e. another master is attempting to transmit a data
’0’). If however SDA is sampled high then the BRG is
reloaded and begins counting. If SDA goes from high
to low before the BRG times out, no bus collision
occurs, because no two masters can assert SDA at
exactly the same time.
If, ho w e ver, SCL goes from high to lo w bef ore the BRG
times out and SDA has not already been asserted,
then a bus collision occurs. In this case, another mas-
ter is attempting to transmit a data ’1’ during the
Repeated Start condition.
If at the end of the BRG time out both SCL and SDA
are still high, the SDA pin is driven low, the BRG is
reloaded, and begins counting. At the end of the
count, regardless of the status of the SCL pin, the SCL
pin is driven low and the Repeated Start condition is
complete. (Figure 15-41)

15.2.18.3 BUS COLLISION DURING A STOP
CONDITION
Bus collision occurs during a STOP condition if:
a) After the SDA pin has been de-asserted and
allowed to float high, SDA is sampled low after
the BRG has timed out.
b) After the SCL pin is de-asserted, SCL is sam-
pled low before SDA goes high.
The STOP condition begins with SDA asserted low.
When SDA is sampled low, the SCL pin is allow to
float. When the pin is sampled high (clock arbitration),
the baud rate generator is loaded with SSPADD<6:0>
and counts down to 0. After the BRG times out SD A is
sampled. If SDA is sampled low, a bus collision has
occurred. This is due to another master attempting to
drive a data '0'. If the SCL pin is sampled low before
SDA is allowed to float high, a bus collision occurs.
This is another case of another master attempting to
drive a data '0'. (Figure 15-43)

Number of connected devices (input current +
leakage current).
The supply voltage limits the minim um value of resistor
R
p
due to the specified minimum sink current of 3 mA
at VOL max = 0.4V for the specified output stages. For
example, with a supply voltage of VDD = 5V+10% and
VOL max = 0.4V at 3 mA, Rp min = (5.5-0.4)/0.003 =
1.7 kΩ. V
DD as a function of
R
p
is shown in
Figure 15-45. The desired noise margin of 0.1VDD for
the low level, limits the maximum value of
R
s
. Series
resistors are optional and used to improve ESD sus-
ceptibility.
The bus capacitance is the total capacitance of wire,
connections, and pins. This capacitance limits the max-
imum value of
R
p
due to the specified rise time
(Figure 15-45).
The SMP bit is the slew rate control enab led bit. This bit
is in the SSPSTAT register, and controls the slew rate
of the I/O pins when in I2C mode (master or slave).

16.0 ANALOG-TO-DIGITAL
CONVERTER (A/D) MODULE
The analog-to-digital (A/D) converter module has
twelve analog inputs for the PIC17C75X devices and
sixteen for the PIC17C76X devices.
The analog input charges a sample and hold capacitor .
The output of the sample and hold capacitor is the input
into the converter. The converter then generates a dig-
ital result of this analog lev el via successive appro xima-
tion. This A/D conversion, of the analog input signal,
results in a corresponding 10-bit digital number.
The analog reference voltages (positive and negative
supply) are software selectable to either the device’s
supply voltages (AVDD, AVss) or the voltage level on
the RG3/AN0/VREF+ and RG2/AN1/VREF- pins.
The A/D conver ter has a unique feature of being able
to operate while the de vice is in SLEEP mode. To oper-
ate in sleep, the A/D clock must be derived from the
A/D’s internal RC oscillator.
The A/D module has four registers. These registers
are: A/D Result High Register (ADRESH)
A/D Result Low Register (ADRESL)
A/D Control Register0 (ADCON0)
A/D Control Register1 (ADCON1)
The ADCON0 register, shown in Figure 16-1, controls
the operation of the A/D module. The ADCON1 regis-
ter, shown in Figure 16-2, configures the functions of
the por t pins. The por t pins can be configured as ana-
log inputs (RG3 and RG2 can also be the voltage ref er-
ences) or as digital I/O.

The ADRESH:ADRESL registers contains the 10-bit
result of the A/D conversion. When the A/D conversion
is complete, the result is loaded into this A/D result reg-
ister pair, the GO/DONE bit (ADCON0<2>) is cleared,
and A/D interrupt flag bit ADIF is set. The block dia-
grams of the A/D module are shown in Figure 16-3.
After the A/D module has been configured as desired,
the selected channel must be acquired bef ore the con-
version is started. The analog input channels must
have their corresponding DDR bits selected as inputs.
To determine sample time, see Section 16.1. After this
acquisition time has elapsed the A/D conv ersion can be
started. The following steps should be followed for
doing 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 conversion clock (ADCON0)
Turn on A/D module (ADCON0)
2. Configure A/D interrupt (if desired):
Clear ADIF bit
Set ADIE bit
Clear GLINTD bit
3. Wait the required acquisition time.
4. Start conversion:
Set GO/DONE bit (ADCON0)
5. Wait for A/D conversion to complete, by either:
Polling for the GO/DONE bit to be cleared
OR
Waiting for the A/D interrupt
6. Read A/D Result register pair
(ADRESH:ADRESL), clear bit ADIF if required.
7. For next conversion, go to step 1 or step 2 as
required. The A/D conversion time per bit is
defined as TAD. A minimum wait of 2TAD is
required before next acquisition starts.

Figure 16-4 shows the conversion sequence, and the
terms that are used. Acquisition time is the time that the
A/D module’s holding capacitor is connected to the
external voltage le vel. Then there is the conv ersion time
of 12 TAD, which is started when the GO bit is set. The
sum of these two times is the sampling time. There is a
minimum acquisition time to ensure that the holding
capacitor is charged to a level that will give the desired
accuracy for the A/D conversion.

16.1 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 16-5. 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),
Figure 16-5. The maximum recommended imped-
ance for analog sources is 10 k. As the impedance
is decreased, the acquisition time may be decreased.
After the analog input channel is selected (changed)
this acquisition must be done before the conversion
can be started.
To calculate the minimum acquisition time,
Equation 16-1 may be used. This equation assumes
that 1/2 LSb error is used (1024 steps for the A/D). The
1/2 LSb error is the maximum error allow ed f or the A/D
to meet its specified resolution.
Example 16-1 shows the calculation of the minimum
required acquisition time TACQ.
This calculation is based on the following application
system assumptions.
CHOLD = 120 pF
Rs = 10 k
Conversion Error 1/2 LSb
VDD = 5V Rss = 7 k (see
graph in Figure 16-5)
Temperature = 50°C (system max.)
VHOLD = 0V @ time = 0

Temperature coefficient is only required for temperatures > 25°C.

Note 1: The reference voltage (VREF) has no effect on the equation, since it cancels itself out.
Note 2: The charge holding capacitor (CHOLD) is not discharged after each conversion.
Note 3: The maximum recommended impedance f or analog sources is 10 k. This is required to meet the pin leak-
age specification.
Note 4: After a conv ersion has completed, a 2.0T AD delay must complete before acquisition can begin again. Dur-
ing this time the holding capacitor is not connected to the selected A/D input channel.

16.2 Selecting the A/D Conversion Clock
The A/D conversion time per bit is defined as TAD. The
A/D conversion requires a minimum 12TAD per 10-bit
conversion. The source of the A/D conversion clock is
software selected. The four possible options for TAD
are: •8T
OSC
32TOSC
64TOSC
Internal RC oscillator
For correct A/D conversions, the A/D conversion clock
(TAD) must be selected to ensure a minimum TAD time
of 1.6 µs.
Table 16-1 and Table 16-2 show the resultant TAD
times derived from the device operating frequencies
and the A/D clock source selected. These times are for
standard voltage range devices.

16.3 Configuring Analog Port Pins
The ADCON1, and DDR registers control the operation
of the A/D por t pins. The por t pins that are desired as
analog inputs must have their corresponding DDR bits
set (input). If the DDR bit is cleared (output), the digital
output level (VOH or VOL) will be converted.
The A/D operation is independent of the state of the
CHS2:CHS0 bits and the DDR bits.
Note 1: When reading the port register, any pin
configured as an analog input channel will
read as cleared (a low level). Pins config-
ured as digital inputs, will convert an ana-
log input. Analog levels on a digitally
configured input will not affect the conver-
sion accuracy.
Note 2: Analog lev els on an y pin that is defined as
a digital input (including the AN15:AN0
pins), may cause the input buffer to con-
sume current that is out of the devices
specification.
16.4 A/D Conversions
Example 16-2 shows how to perform an A/D conver-
sion. The PORTF and lower f our PORTG pins are con-
figured as analog inputs. The analog references
(VREF+ and VREF-) are the device AV DD and A VSS. The
A/D interrupt is enabled, and the A/D conversion clock
is FRC. The conversion is performed on the RG3/AN0
pin (channel 0).
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 conv ersion sample. That is, 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 con v ersion
is aborted, a 2TAD wait is required before the next
acquisition is started. After this 2TAD wait, acquisition
on the selected channel is automatically started.
In Figure 16-6, after the GO bit is set, the first time seg-
mant has a minimum of TCY and a maximum of TAD.
Note: The GO/DONE bit should NOT be set in
the same instruction that turns on the A/D.

16.4.1 A/D RESULT REGISTERS
The ADRESH:ADRESL register pair is the location
where the 10-bit A/D result is loaded at the completion
of the A/D conv ersion. This register pair is 16-bits wide.
The A/D module gives the fle xibility to left or right justify
the 10-bit result in the 16-bit result register. The A/D
Format Select bit (ADFM) controls this justification.
Figure 16-8 shows the operation of the A/D result justi-
fication. The extra bits are loaded with ’0’s’. When an
A/D result will not overwrite these locations (A/D dis-
able), these registers may be used as two general pur-
pose 8-bit registers.
16.5 A/D Operation During Sleep
The A/D module can operate during SLEEP mode. This
requires that the A/D clock source be set to RC
(ADCS1:ADCS0 = 11). When the RC clock source is
selected, the A/D module waits one instruction cycle
before starting the conversion. This allows the SLEEP
instruction to be executed, which eliminates all digital
switching noise from the conversion. When the con ver-
sion is completed the GO/DONE bit will be cleared, and
the result loaded into the ADRES register. If the A/D
interrupt is enabled, the device will wake-up from
SLEEP. If the A/D interrupt is not enabled, the A/D mod-
ule will then be turned off, although the ADON bit will
remain set.
When the A/D clock source is another cloc k option (not
RC), a SLEEP instruction will cause the present conver-
sion to be aborted and the A/D module to be turned off,
though the ADON bit will remain set.
Turning off the A/D places the A/D module in its lowest
current consumption state.
16.6 Effects of a Reset
A device reset forces all registers to their reset state.
This forces the A/D module to be turned off, and any
conversion is aborted.
The value that is in the ADRESH:ADRESL registers is
not modified for a Power-on Reset. The
ADRESH:ADRESL registers will contain unknown data
after a Power-on Reset.
Note: For the A/D module to operate in SLEEP,
the A/D clock source must be set to RC
(ADCS1:ADCS0 = 11). To allow the con-
version to occur during SLEEP, ensure the
SLEEP instruction immediately follows the
instruction that sets the GO/DONE bit.

16.7 A/D Accuracy/Error
In systems where the device frequency is low, use of
the A/D RC clock is preferred. At moderate to high fre-
quencies, TAD should be derived from the device oscil-
lator.
The absolute accuracy specified for the A/D conver ter
includes the sum of all contributions for quantization
error , integral error , differential error , full scale error , off-
set error, and monotonicity. It is defined as the maxi-
mum de viation from an actual transition versus an ideal
transition for any code. The absolute error of the A/D
conv erter is specified at < ±1 LSb for VDD = VREF (o v er
the device’s specified operating range). However, the
accuracy of the A/D converter will degrade as VREF
diverges from VDD.
For a given range of analog inputs, the output digital
code will be the same. This is due to the quantization of
the analog input to a digital code. Quantization error is
typically ± 1/2 LSb and is inherent in the analog to dig-
ital conv ersion process . The only w a y to reduce quanti-
zation error is to increase the resolution of the A/D
converter or oversample.
Offset error measures the first actual transition of a
code versus the first ideal transition of a code. Offset
error shifts the entire transfer function. Offset error can
be calibrated out of a system or introduced into a sys-
tem through the interaction of the total leakage current
and source impedance at the analog input.
Gain error measures the maximum de viation of the last
actual transition and the last ideal transition adjusted
for offset error. This error appears as a change in slope
of the transfer function. The difference in gain error to
full scale error is that full scale does not take offset error
into account. Gain error can be calibrated out in soft-
ware.
Linearity error refers to the uniformity of the code
changes. Linearity errors cannot be calibrated out of
the system. Integral non-linearity error measures the
actual code transition versus the ideal code transition
adjusted by the gain error for each code.
Differential non-linearity measures the maximum
actual code width versus the ideal code width. This
measure is unadjusted.
The maximum pin leakage current is specified in the
Device Data Sheet electrical specification parameter
#D060.
In systems where the device frequency is low, use of
the A/D RC clock is preferred. At moderate to high fre-
quencies, TAD should be derived from the device oscil-
lator. TAD must not violate the minimum and should be
minimized to reduce inaccuracies due to noise and
sampling capacitor bleed off.
In systems where the device will enter SLEEP mode
after the start of the A/D conversion, the RC clock
source selection is required. In this mode, the digital
noise from the modules in SLEEP are stopped. This
method gives high accuracy.
16.8 Connection Considerations
If the input voltage e xceeds the rail v alues (VSS or VDD)
by greater than 0.3V, then the accuracy of the conver-
sion is out of specification.
An external RC filter is sometimes added f or anti-alias-
ing of the input signal. The R component should be
selected to ensure that the total source impedance is
kept under the 10 k recommended specification. Any
external components connected (via hi-impedance) to
an analog input pin (capacitor , zener diode, etc.) should
have very little leakage current at the pin.
16.9 Transfer Function
The transf er function of the A/D con v erter is as follows:
the first transition occurs when the analog input v oltage
(VAIN) equals Analog VREF / 1024 (Figure 16-9).

17.0 SPECIAL FEATURES OF THE
CPU
What sets a microcontroller apart from other proces-
sors are special circuits to deal with the needs of
real-time applications. The PIC17CXXX family has a
host of such features intended to maximiz e system reli-
ability, minimize cost through elimination of external
components, provide power saving operating modes
and offer code protection. These are:
Oscillator selection (Section 4.0)
Reset (Section 5.0)
- Power-on Reset (POR)
- Po wer-up Timer (PWRT)
- Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST)
- Brown-out Reset (BOR)
Interrupts (Section 6.0)
W atchdog Timer (WDT)
SLEEP mode
Code protection
The PIC17CXXX has a Watchdog Timer which can be
shutoff only through EPROM bits . It runs off its own RC
oscillator for added reliability. There are two timers that
offer necessary delays on POR and BOR. One is the
Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST), intended to keep the
chip in RESET until the crystal oscillator is stable. The
other is the Power-up Timer (PWRT), which provides a
fixed delay of 96 ms (nominal) on power-up only,
designed to keep the part in RESET while the power
supply stabilizes. With these two timers on-chip, most
applications need no external reset circuitry.
The SLEEP mode is designed to offer a ver y low cur-
rent power-down mode. The user can wake from
SLEEP through external reset, Watchdog Timer Reset
or through an interrupt. Several oscillator options are
also made available to allow the par t to fit the applica-
tion. The RC oscillator option saves system cost while
the LF crystal option saves power. Configuration bits
are used to select various options. This configuration
word has the format shown in Figure 17-1.

17.1 Configuration Bits
The PIC17CXXX has eight configuration locations
(Table 17-1). These locations can be programmed
(read as '0') or left unprogrammed (read as '1') to select
various de vice configur ations . Any write to a configura-
tion location, regardless of the data, will program that
configuration bit. A TABLWT instruction is required to
write to program memory locations. The configuration
bits can be read by using the TABLRD instructions.
Reading any configuration location between FE00h
and FE07h will read the low byte of the configuration
word (Figure 17-1) into the TABLATL register. The TAB-
LATH register will be FFh. Reading a configuration
location between FE08h and FE0Fh will read the high
byte of the configuration word into the TABLATL regis-
ter. The TABLATH register will be FFh.
Addresses FE00h through FE0Fh are only in the pro-
gram memory space for microcontroller and code pro-
tected microcontroller modes. A device programmer
will be able to read the configuration word in any pro-
cessor mode. See programming specifications f or more
detail.

17.2 Oscillator Configurations
17.2.1 OSCILLATOR TYPES
The PIC17CXXX can be operated in f our different oscil-
lator modes. The user can program two configuration
bits (FOSC1:FOSC0) to select one of these four
modes:
LF Low Power Crystal
XT Crystal/Resonator
EC External Clock Input
RC Resistor/Capacitor
For inf ormation on the different oscillator types and how
to use them, please refer to Section 4.0.

PIC17C7XX
17.3 Watchdog Timer (WDT)
The Watchdog Timer’s function is to recover from
software malfunction. The WDT uses an internal free
running on-chip RC oscillator for its clock source. This
does not require any external components. This RC
oscillator is separate from the RC oscillator of the
OSC1/CLKIN pin. That means that the WDT will run,
even if the clock on the OSC1/CLKIN and
OSC2/CLKOUT pins have been stopped, for example,
by execution of a SLEEP instruction. During normal
operation, a WDT time-out gener ates a device RESET.
The WDT can be permanently disabled by
programming the configuration bits WDTPS1:WDTPS0
as '00' (Section 17.1).
Under normal operation, the WDT must be cleared on
a regular interval. This time must be less than the min-
imum WDT overflow time. Not clearing the WDT in this
time frame will cause the WDT to overflo w and reset the
device.
17.3.1 WDT PERIOD
The WDT has a nominal time-out period of 12 ms, (with
postscaler = 1). The time-out periods v ary with temper-
ature, VDD and process v ariations from part to part (see
DC specs). If longer time-out periods are desired, con-
figuration bits should be used to enable the WDT with
a greater prescale. Thus, typical time-out periods up to
3.0 seconds can be realized.
The CLRWDT and SLEEP instructions clear the WDT
and its postscale setting and prevent it from timing out
thus generating a device RESET condition.
The TO bit in the CPUSTA register will be cleared upon
a WDT time-out.
17.3.2 CLEARING THE WDT AND POSTSCALER
The WDT and postscaler are cleared when:
The device is in the reset state
•A SLEEP instruction is executed
•A CLRWDT instruction is executed
Wake-up from SLEEP by an interrupt
The WDT counter/postscaler will star t counting on the
first edge after the device exits the reset state.
17.3.3 WDT PROGRAMMING CONSIDERATIONS
It should also be taken in account that under worst case
conditions (VDD = Min., Temperature = Max., max.
WDT postscaler) it may take several seconds before a
WDT time-out occurs.
The WDT and postscaler become the Power-up Timer
whenever the PWRT is invoked.
17.3.4 WDT AS NORMAL TIMER
When the WDT is selected as a normal timer , the cloc k
source is the device clock. Neither the WDT nor the
postscaler are directly readable or writable. The over-
flow time is 65536 TOSC cycles. On overflo w, the TO bit
is cleared (device is not reset). The CLRWDT instruction
can be used to set the TO bit. This allows the WDT to
be a simple overflow timer. The simple timer does not
increment when in sleep.

17.4 Power-down Mode (SLEEP)
The Power-down mode is entered by executing a
SLEEP instruction. This clears the Watchdog Timer and
postscaler (if enabled). The PD bit is cleared and the
TO bit is set (in the CPUSTA register). In SLEEP mode,
the oscillator driver is turned off. The I/O ports maintain
their status (driving high, low, or hi-impedance).
The MCLR/VPP pin must be at a logic high level
(VIHMC). A WDT time-out RESET does not drive the
MCLR/VPP pin low.
17.4.1 WAKE-UP FROM SLEEP
The device can wake-up from SLEEP through one of
the following events:
Power-on Reset
Brown-out Reset
External reset input on MCLR/VPP pin
WDT Reset (if WDT was enabled)
Interrupt from RA0/INT pin, RB port change,
T0CKI interrupt, or some peripheral Interrupts
The follo wing peripheral interrupts can wake the de vice
from SLEEP:
Capture interrupts
USART synchronous slave transmit interrupts
USART synchronous slave receive interrupts
A/D conversion complete
SPI slave transmit / receive complete
•I
2
C slave receive
Other peripherals cannot generate interrupts since dur-
ing SLEEP, no on-chip Q clocks are present.
Any reset e vent will cause a device reset. Any interrupt
event is considered a continuation of program execu-
tion. The TO and PD bits in the CPUSTA register can be
used to determine the cause of device reset. The PD
bit, which is set on power-up, is cleared when SLEEP
is invoked. The TO bit is cleared if WDT time-out
occurred (and caused wake-up).
When the SLEEP instruction is being ex ecuted, the ne xt
instruction (PC + 1) is pre-fetched. For the device to
wake-up through an interrupt event, the corresponding
interrupt enable bit must be set (enabled). Wake-up is
regardless of the state of the GLINTD bit. If the GLINTD
bit is set (disabled), the device continues execution at
the instruction after the SLEEP instruction. If the
GLINTD bit is clear (enabled), the device executes the
instruction after the SLEEP instruction and then
branches to the interrupt vector address. In cases
where the execution of the instruction follo wing SLEEP
is not desirable, the user should have a NOP after the
SLEEP instruction.
The WDT is cleared when the device wakes from
SLEEP, regardless of the source of wake-up.
17.4.1.1 WAKE-UP DELAY
When the oscillator type is configured in XT or LF
mode, the Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) is activated
on wake-up. The OST will keep the device in reset for
1024TOSC. This needs to be taken into account when
considering the interrupt response time when coming
out of SLEEP.
Note: If the global interrupt is disabled (GLINTD
is set), but an y interrupt source has both its
interrupt enable bit and the corresponding
interrupt flag bit set, the device will imme-
diately wake-up from sleep. The TO bit is
set, and the PD bit is cleared.

17.4.2 MINIMIZING CURRENT CONSUMPTION
To minimize current consumption, all I/O pins should be
either at VDD, or VSS, with no e xternal circuitry drawing
current from the I/O pin. I/O pins that are hi-impedance
inputs should be pulled high or low externally to avoid
switching currents caused by floating inputs. The
T0CKI input should be at VDD or VSS. The contributions
from on-chip pull-ups on PORTB should also be con-
sidered, and disabled when possible.
17.5 Code Protection
The code in the program memory can be protected by
selecting the microcontroller in code protected mode
(PM2:PM0 = '000').
In this mode, instructions that are in the on-chip pro-
gram memory space, can continue to read or write the
program memory. An instruction that is executed out-
side of the internal program memory range will be
inhibited from writing to or reading from program mem-
ory.
If the code protection bit(s) have not been pro-
grammed, the on-chip program memory can be read
out for verification purposes.
Note: Microchip does not recommend code pro-
tecting windowed devices.

17.6 In-Circuit Serial Programming
The PIC17C7XX group of the high end family
(PIC17CXXX) has an added feature that allows serial
programming while in the end application circuit. This is
simply done with two lines f or clock and data, and three
other lines for power, ground, and the programming
voltage. This allows customers to manufacture boards
with unprogrammed devices, and then program the
microcontroller just before shipping the product. This
also allows the most recent firmware or a custom firm-
ware to be programmed.
Devices ma y be serialized to make the product unique ,
“special” variants of the product may be offered, and
code updates are possible. This allows for increased
design flexibility.
To place the device into the serial programming test
mode, two pins will need to be placed at VIHH. These
are the TEST pin and the MCLR/VPP pin. Also a
sequence of events must occur as follows:
1. The TEST pin is placed at VIHH.
2. The MCLR/VPP pin is placed at VIHH.
There is a setup time between step 1 and step 2 that
must be met.
After this sequence the Program Counter is pointing to
program memory address 0xFF60. This location is in
the Boot ROM. The code initializes the USART/SCI so
that it can receive commands . For this , the de vice must
be clock ed. The device clock source in this mode is the
RA1/T0CKI pin. After delaying to allow the USAR T/SCI
to initialize, commands can be received. The flow is
shown in these 3 steps:
1. The device clock source starts.
2. Wait 80 de vice clocks for Boot R OM code to con-
figure the USART/SCI.
3. Commands may now be sent.
For complete details of serial programming, please
refer to the PIC17C7XX Programming Specification.

18.0 INSTRUCTION SET SUMMARY
The PIC17CXXX instruction set consists of 58 instruc-
tions. Each instruction is a 16-bit word divided into an
OPCODE and one or more operands. The opcode
specifies the instruction type, while the operand(s) fur-
ther specify the operation of the instruction. The
PIC17CXXX instruction set can be grouped into three
types:
byte-oriented
bit-oriented
literal and control operations
These formats are shown in Figure 18-1.
Table 18-1 shows the field descriptions for the
opcodes. These descriptions are useful f or understand-
ing the opcodes in Table 18-2 and in each specific
instruction descriptions.
byte-oriented instructions, 'f' represents a file regis-
ter designator and 'd' represents a destination designa-
tor. The file register designator specifies which file
register is to be used by the instruction.
The destination designator specifies where the result of
the operation is to be placed. If 'd' = '0', the result is
placed in the WREG register. If 'd' = '1', the result is
placed in the file register specified by the instruction.
bit-oriented instructions, 'b' represents a bit field des-
ignator which selects the number of the bit affected by
the operation, while 'f' represents the number of the file
in which the bit is located.
literal and control operations, 'k' represents an 8- or
13-bit constant or literal value.
The instruction set is highly orthogonal and is grouped
into:
byte-oriented operations
bit-oriented operations
literal and control operations
All instructions are executed within one single instruc-
tion cycle, unless:
a conditional test is true
the program counter is changed as a result of an
instruction
a table read or a tab le write instruction is ex ecuted
(in this case, the execution takes two instruction
cycles with the second cycle executed as a NOP)
One instruction cycle consists of four oscillator periods.
Thus, f or an oscillator frequency of 25 MHz, the normal
instruction ex ecution time is 160 ns. If a conditional test
is true or the program counter is changed as a result of
an instruction, the instruction execution time is 320 ns.

18.1 Special Function Registers as
Source/Destination
The PIC17C7XX’s orthogonal instruction set allows
read and write of all file registers, including special
function registers. There are some special situations
the user should be aware of:
18.1.1 ALUSTA AS DESTINATION
If an instruction writes to ALUSTA, the Z, C, DC and O V
bits may be set or cleared as a result of the instruction
and overwrite the original data bits written. For exam-
ple, executing CLRF ALUSTA will clear register
ALUSTA, and then set the Z bit leaving 0000 0100b in
the register.
18.1.2 PCL AS SOURCE OR DESTINATION
Read, write or read-modify-write on PCL may have the
following results:
Read PC: PCH PCLATH; PCL dest
Write PCL: PCLATH PCH;
8-bit destination value PCL
Read-Modify-Write: PCL ALU operand
PCLATH PCH;
8-bit result PCL
Where PCH = program counter high byte (not an
addressable register), PCLATH = Program counter
high holding latch, dest = destination, WREG or f.
18.1.3 BIT MANIPULATION
All bit manipulation instructions are done by first read-
ing the entire register , operating on the selected bit and
writing the result back (read-modify-write (R-M-W)).
The user should keep this in mind when operating on
some special function registers, such as ports.
Note: Status bits that are manipulated by the
device (including the Interrupt flag bits) are
set or cleared in the Q1 cycle. So there is
no issue on doing R-M-W instructions on
registers which contain these bits

PIC17C7XX
18.2 Q Cycle Activity
Each instruction cycle (TCY) is comprised of four Q
cycles (Q1-Q4). The Q cycle is the same as the device
oscillator cycle (TOSC). The Q cycles provide the tim-
ing/designation for the Decode, Read, Process Data,
Write etc., of each instruction cycle. The following dia-
gram shows the relationship of the Q cycles to the
instruction cycle.
The four Q cycles that make up an instruction cycle
(TCY) can be generalized as:
Q1: Instruction Decode Cycle or forced No
operation
Q2: Instruction Read Cycle or No operation
Q3: Process the Data
Q4: Instruction Write Cycle or No operation
Each instruction will show the detailed Q cycle opera-
tion for the instruction.

Note 1: Power dissipation is calculated as follows: Pdis = VDD x {IDD - IOH} + {(VDD-VOH) x IOH} + (VOL x IOL)
Note 2: V oltage spik es below VSS at the MCLR pin, inducing currents greater than 80 mA, may cause latch-up . Thus,
a series resistor of 50-100 should be used when applying a "low" lev el to the MCLR pin r ather than pulling
this pin directly to VSS.
† NOTICE: Stresses above those listed under "Absolute Maximum Ratings" may cause permanent dam-
age to the device. This is a stress rating only and functional operation of the device at those or any other
conditions above those indicated in the operation listings of this specification is not implied. Exposure to
maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

* These parameters are characterized but not tested.
Data in "Typ" column is at 5V, 25˚C unless otherwise stated. These parameters are f or design guidance only
and are not tested.
Note 1: This is the limit to which VDD can be lowered in SLEEP mode without losing RAM data.
2: The supply current is mainly a function of the operating voltage and frequency. Other factors such as I/O pin
loading and switching rate, oscillator type, internal code execution pattern, and temperature also have an
impact on the current consumption.
The test conditions for all IDD measurements in active operation mode are:
OSC1 = external square wave, from rail to rail; all I/O pins tristated, pulled to VDD or VSS, T0CKI = VDD,
MCLR = VDD; WDT disabled.
Current consumed from the oscillator and I/O’ s driving e xternal capacitive or resistiv e loads needs to be con-
sidered.
For the RC oscillator, the current through the external pull-up resistor (R) can be estimated as:
VDD /(2 R).
For capacitive loads, the current can be estimated (for an individual I/O pin) as (CLVDD) f
CL = Total capacitive load on the I/O pin; f = average frequency the I/O pin switches.
The capacitive currents are most significant when the device is configured for external execution (includes
extended microcontroller mode).
3: The power-down current in SLEEP mode does not depend on the oscillator type. Power-down current is
measured with the part in SLEEP mode, with all I/O pins in hi-impedance state and tied to VDD or VSS.
4: For RC osc configuration, current through Rext is not included. The current through the resistor can be esti-
mated by the formula IR = VDD/2Rext (mA) with Rext in kOhm.
5: This is the voltage where the device enters the Brown-Out-Reset. When BOR is enabled, the device (-16)
will operate correctly to this trip point.

These parameters are for design guidance only and are not tested, nor characterized.
Note 1: In RC oscillator configuration, the OSC1/CLKIN pin is a Schmitt Trigger input. It is not recommended that the
PIC17CXX devices be driven with external clock in RC mode.
2: The leakage current on the MCLR pin is strongly dependent on the applied v oltage le v el. The specified le v els
represent normal operating conditions. Higher leakage current may be measured at different input voltages.
3: Negative current is defined as current sourced by the pin.
4: These specifications are f or the prog ramming of the on-chip progr am memory EPROM through the use of the
table write instructions. The complete programming specifications can be found in: PIC17CXX Programming
Specifications (Literature number DS30139).
5: The MCLR/VPP pin may be kept in this range at times other than programming, but is not recommended.
6: For TTL buffers, the better of the two specifications may be used.
Note 1: When using the Table Write for internal programming, the device temperature must be less than 40˚C.
Note 2: For In-Circuit Serial Programming (ICSP), refer to the device programming specification.

These parameters are for design guidance only and are not tested, nor characterized.
Note 1: Instruction cycle period (TCY) equals four times the input oscillator time base period. All specified values are based on
characterization data for that particular oscillator type under standard operating conditions with the device e x ecuting code.
Exceeding these specified limits may result in an unstable oscillator operation and/or higher than expected current con-
sumption. All devices are tested to operate at “min. values with an external clock applied to the OSC1/CLKIN pin.
When an external clock input is used, the “max.” cycle time limit is “DC” (no clock) for all devices.

These parameters are for design guidance only and are not tested, nor characterized.
Note 1: Maximum pin capacitance = 10 pF for all I2C pins.
2: A fast-mode (400 KHz) I2C-b us de vice can be used in a standard-mode I2C-bus system, b ut the parameter # 107 250 ns
must then be met. This will automatically be the case if the device does not stretch the LOW period of the SCL signal. If
such a device does stretch the LOW period of the SCL signal, it must output the next data bit to the SDA line.
Parameter # 102 + # 107 = 1000 + 250 = 1250 ns (for 100 kHz-mode) before the SCL line is released.
3: Cb is specified to be from 10-400pF. The minimum specifications are characterized with Cb=10pF. The rise time spec (tr)
is characterized with Rp=Rp min. The minimum fall time specification (tf) is characterized with Cb=10pF, and Rp=Rp max.
These are only valid for fast mode operation (VDD=4.5-5.5V) and where the SPM bit (SSPSTAT<7>)=1.)
4: Max specifications for these parameters are valid for falling edge only. Specs are characterized with Rp=Rp min and
Cb=400pF for standard mode, 200pF for fast mode, and 10pF for 1MHz mode.
Note: Refer to Figure 20-1 for load conditions.

APPENDIX A:MODIFICATIONS
The following is the list of modifications over the
PIC16CXX microcontroller family:
1. Instruction word length is increased to 16-bit.
This allows larger page sizes both in program
memory (8 Kwords verses 2 Kwords) and regis-
ter file (256 bytes versus 128 bytes).
2. Four modes of operation: microcontroller, pro-
tected microcontroller , extended microcontroller ,
and microprocessor.
3. 22 new instructions.
The MOVF, TRIS and OPTION instructions have
been removed.
4. Four new instructions (TLRD, TLWT, TABLRD,
TABLWT) for transferring data between data
memory and program memory. They can be
used to “self program” the EPROM program
memory.
5. Single cycle data memory to data memory
transfers possible (MOVPF and MOVFP instruc-
tions). These instructions do not affect the W ork-
ing register (WREG).
6. W register (WREG) is now directly addressable.
7. A PC high latch register (PCLATH) is extended
to 8-bits. The PCLATCH register is now both
readable and writable.
8. Data memory paging is redefined slightly.
9. DDR registers replaces function of TRIS regis-
ters.
10. Multiple Interrupt vectors added. This can
decrease the latency for servicing interrupts.
11. Stack size is increased to 16 deep.
12. BSR register for data memory paging.
13. Wake up from SLEEP operates slightly differ-
ently.
14. The Oscillator Start-Up Timer (OST) and
P o wer-Up Timer (PWRT) operate in par allel and
not in series.
15. PORTB interrupt on change f eature works on all
eight port pins.
16. TMR0 is 16-bit plus 8-bit prescaler.
17. Second indirect addressing register added
(FSR1 and FSR2). Configuration bits can select
the FSR registers to auto-increment, auto-dec-
rement, remain unchanged after an indirect
address.
18. Hardware multiplier added (8 x 8 16-bit)
19. Peripheral modules operate slightly differently.
20. A/D has both a VREF+ and VREF-.
21. USARTs do not implement BRGH feature.
22. Oscillator modes slightly redefined.
23. Control/Status bits and registers have been
placed in different registers and the control bit
for globally enabling interrupts has inverse
polarity.
24. In-circuit serial programming is implemented dif-
ferently.
APPENDIX B:COMPATIBILITY
To convert code written for PIC16CXXX to
PIC17CXXX, the user should take the following steps:
1. Remove any TRIS and OPTION instructions,
and implement the equivalent code.
2. Separate the interrupt service routine into its
four vectors.
3. Replace:
MOVF REG1, W
with:
MOVFP REG1, WREG
4. Replace:
MOVF REG1, W
MOVWF REG2
with:
MOVPF REG1, REG2 ; Addr(REG1)<20h
or
MOVFP REG1, REG2 ; Addr(REG2)<20h
5. Ensure that all bit names and register names are
updated to new data memory map locations.
6. Verify data memory banking.
7. V erify mode of operation f or indirect addressing.
8. Verify peripheral routines for compatibility.
9. Weak pull-ups are enabled on reset.
Upgrading from PIC17C42 Devices
To convert code from the PIC17C42 to all the other
PIC17CXXX devices , the user should take the follo wing
steps.
1. If the hardware multiply is to be used, ensure
that any variables at address 18h and 19h are
moved to another address.
2. Ensure that the upper nibble of the BSR was not
written with a non-zero value. This may cause
unexpected oper ation since the RAM bank is no
longer 0.
3. The disabling of global interrupts has been
enhanced so there is no additional testing of the
GLINTD bit after a BSF CPUSTA, GLINTD
instruction.
Note: If REG1 and REG2 are both at addresses
greater then 20h, two instructions are
required.

APPENDIX E: I2C OVERVIEW
This section provides an overview of the Inter-Inte-
grated Circuit (I2C) bus, with Section 15.2 discussing
the operation of the SSP module in I2C mode.
The I2C bus is a two-wire serial interf ace developed by
the Philips Corporation. The original specification, or
standard mode, was for data transfers of up to
100 Kbps. This de vice will communicate with f ast mode
devices if attached to the same bus.
The I2C interface emplo ys a comprehensive protocol to
ensure reliable transmission and reception of data.
When transmitting data, one device is the “master”
which initiates transfer on the bus and generates the
clock signals to permit that transfer, while the other
device(s) acts as the “slave.” All portions of the slave
protocol are implemented in the SSP module’s hard-
ware, including general call suppor t. Table E-1 defines
some of the I 2C bus terminology. For additional infor-
mation on the I2C interface specification, refer to the
Philips document “
The
I
2
C bus and how to use it.
#939839340011, which can be obtained from the Phil-
ips Corporation.
In the I2C interface protocol each device has an
address. When a master wishes to initiate a data trans-
fer, it first transmits the address of the device that it
wishes to “talk” to. All devices “listen” to see if this is
their address. Within this address, a bit specifies if the
master wishes to read-from/write-to the slave device.
The master and slave are always in opposite modes
(transmitter/receiver) of operation during a data trans-
fer. That is they can be thought of as operating in either
of these two relations:
Master-transmitter and Slave-receiver
Slave-transmitter and Master-receiver
In both cases the master generates the clock signal.
The output stages of the clock (SCL) and data (SDA)
lines must have an open-drain or open-collector in
order to perform the wired-AND function of the bus.
External pull-up resistors are used to ensure a high
lev el when no device is pulling the line down. The num-
ber of devices that may be attached to the I 2C bus is
limited only by the maximum bus loading specification
of 400 pF.
E.1 Initiating and Terminating Data
Transfer
During times of no data transfer (idle time), both the
clock line (SCL) and the data line (SD A) are pulled high
through the external pull-up resistors. The START and
STOP conditions determine the star t and stop of data
transmission. The START condition is defined as a high
to low transition of the SDA when the SCL is high. The
ST OP condition is defined as a lo w to high transition of
the SDA when the SCL is high. Figure E-1 shows the
START and STOP conditions. The master generates
these conditions for starting and terminating data trans-
fer. Due to the definition of the START and STOP con-
ditions, when data is being transmitted, the SDA line
can only change state when the SCL line is low.

E.2 ADDRESSING I2C DEVICES
There are two address formats. The simplest is the
7-bit address format with a R/W bit (Figure E-2). The
more complex is the 10-bit address with a R/W bit
(Figure E-3). For 10-bit address format, two bytes must
be transmitted with the first fiv e bits specifying this to be
a 10-bit address.
FIGURE E-2: 7-BIT ADDRESS FORMAT
FIGURE E-3: I2C 10-BIT ADDRESS FORMAT
E.3 Transfer Acknowledge
All data must be transmitted per b yte, with no limit to the
number of bytes transmitted per data transfer. After
each byte, the slave-receiver generates an acknowl-
edge bit (ACK) (Figure E-4). When a slave-receiver
doesn’t acknowledge the slave address or received
data, the master must abort the transfer. The slave
must leave SDA high so that the master can generate
the STOP condition (Figure E-1).

FIGURE E-4: SLAVE-RECEIVER
ACKNOWLEDGE
If the master is receiving the data (master-receiver), it
generates an acknowledge signal for each received
byte of data, except for the last byte. To signal the end
of data to the slave-transmitter, the master does not
generate an acknowledge (not acknowledge). The
slave then releases the SDA line so the master can
generate the STOP condition. The master can also
generate the STOP condition dur ing the acknowledge
pulse for valid termination of data transfer.
If the slave needs to delay the transmission of the next
byte , holding the SCL line lo w will force the master into
a wait state. Data transfer continues when the slave
releases the SCL line. This allows the sla ve to mov e the
received data or fetch the data it needs to transfer
before allowing the clock to start. This wait state tech-
nique can also be implemented at the bit level,
Figure E-5. The slave will inherently stretch the clock,
when it is a transmitter , b ut will not when it is a receiver .
The slav e will have to clear the CKP bit to enable cloc k
stretching when it is a receiver.

Figure E-6 and Figure E-7 show Master-transmitter
and Master-receiver data transfer sequences.
When a master does not wish to relinquish the bus (by
generating a STOP condition), a repeated START con-
dition (Sr) must be generated. This condition is identi-
cal to the start condition (SDA goes high-to-low while
SCL is high), but occurs after a data transfer acknowl-
edge pulse (not the bus-free state). This allows a mas-
ter to send “commands” to the slave and then receive
the requested information or to address a different
slave device. This sequence is shown in Figure E-8.

E.4 Multi-Master
The I2C protocol allows a system to have more than
one master. This is called multi-master. When two or
more masters try to transfer data at the same time, arbi-
tration and synchronization occur.
E.4.1 ARBITRATION
Arbitration takes place on the SDA line, while the SCL
line is high. The master which transmits a high when
the other master transmits a low loses arbitration
(Figure E-9), and turns off its data output stage. A mas-
ter which lost arbitration can generate cloc k pulses until
the end of the data byte where it lost arbitration. When
the master devices are addressing the same device,
arbitration continues into the data.
FIGURE E-9: MULTI-MASTER
ARBITRATION
(TWO MASTERS)
Masters that also incorporate the slave function, and
have lost arbitration must immediately switch over to
slav e-receiv er mode . This is because the winning mas-
ter-transmitter may be addressing it.
Arbitration is not allowed between:
A repeated START condition
A STOP condition and a data bit
A repeated START condition and a STOP condi-
tion
Care needs to be taken to ensure that these conditions
do not occur.
transmitter 1 loses arbitration
DATA 1 SDA
DATA 1
DATA 2

E.5 Clock Synchronization
Clock synchronization occurs after the devices have
started arbitration. This is performed using a
wired-AND connection to the SCL line. A high to low
transition on the SCL line causes the concerned
devices to start counting off their low period. Once a
device clock has gone low, it will hold the SCL line low
until its SCL high state is reached. The low to high tran-
sition of this clock ma y not change the state of the SCL
line, if another device clock is still within its low period.
The SCL line is held low b y the device with the longest
low period. Devices with shorter low periods enter a
high wait-state, until the SCL line comes high. When
the SCL line comes high, all devices start counting off
their high periods. The first device to complete its high
period will pull the SCL line low. The SCL line high time
is determined by the device with the shortest high
period, Figure E-10.

Note 1: As a transmitter, the device must provide this internal minimum delay time to bridge the undefined region (min. 300 ns) of
the falling edge of SCL to avoid unintended generation of START or STOP conditions.
2: A fast-mode I2C-bus device can be used in a standard-mode I2C-bus system, but the requirement tsu;DAT 250 ns must
then be met. This will automatically be the case if the device does not stretch the LOW period of the SCL signal. If such a
device does stretch the LOW period of the SCL signal, it must output the next data bit to the SDA line
TR max.+tsu;DAT = 1000 + 250 = 1250 ns (according to the standard-mode I2C bus specification) before the SCL line is
released.
