Note the following details of the code protection feature on Microch ip devices:
Microchip products meet the specification contained in their particular Microchip Data Sheet.
Microchip believes that its family of products is one of the most secure families of its kind on the market today, when used in the
intended manner and under normal conditions.
There are dishonest and possibly illegal methods used to breach the code protection feature. All of these methods, to our
knowledge, require using the Microchip products in a manner outside the operating specifications contained in Microchip’s Data
Sheets. Most likely, the person doing so is engaged in theft of intellectual property.
Microchip is willing to work with the customer who is concerned about the integrity of their code.
Neither Microchip nor any other semiconductor manufacturer can guarantee the security of their code. Code protection does not
mean that we are guaranteeing the product as “unbreakable.”
Code protection is constantly evolving. We at Microchip are committed to continuously improving the code protection features of our
products. Attempts to break Microchip’s code protection feature may be a violation of the Digit al Millennium Copyright Act. If such acts
allow unauthorized access to your software or other copyrighted work, you may have a right to sue for relief under that Act.
Microchip received ISO/TS-16949:2002 certification for its worldwide
headquarters, design and wafer fabrication facilities in Chandler and
Tempe, Arizona; Gresham, Oregon and design centers in California
and India. The Company’s quality system processes and procedures
are for its PIC® MCUs and dsPIC® DSCs, KEELOQ® code hopping
devices, Serial EEPROMs, microperiph erals, nonvolatile memory and
analog products. In addition, Microchip’s quality system for the design
and manufacture of development systems is ISO 9001:2000 certified.

PIC18F2XK20/4XK20
1.0 DEVICE OVERVIEW
This do cu me nt co nta i ns dev ic e spec if i c in for m at ion fo r
the following devices:
This family offers the advantages of all PIC18
microcontrollers – namely, high computational
performance at an economical price – with the addition
of high-endurance, Flash program memory. On top of
these features, the PIC18F2XK20/4XK20 family
introduces design enhancements that make these
microcontrollers a logical choice for many high-
performance, power sensitive applications.
1.1 New Core Features
1.1.1 nanoWatt TECHNOLOGY
All of the devices in the PIC18F2XK20/4XK20 family
incorporate a range of features that can significantly
reduce power consumption during operation. Key
items include:
Alternate Run Modes: By clo cking the controller
from the Timer1 source or the internal oscillator
block, power consumption during code execution
can be reduced by as much as 90%.
Multiple Idle Modes: The controller can also run
with its CPU core disabled but the peripherals still
active . In these st ates, powe r consumptio n can be
reduced even further, to as little as 4% of normal
operation requirements.
On-the-fly Mode Switching: The power-
manage d mode s a re invo ked b y user code d urin g
operation, allowing the user to incorporate power-
saving ideas into their application’s software
design.
Low Consumption in Key Modules: The
power requirements for both Timer1 and the
Watchdog Timer are minimized. See
Section 26.0 “Electrical Characteristics”
for values.
1.1.2 MULTIPLE OSCILLATOR OPTIONS
AND FEATURES
All of the devices in the PIC18F2XK20/4XK20 family
offer ten different oscillator options, allowing users a
wide range of choices in developing application
hardware. These include:
Four Crystal modes, using crystals or ceramic
resonators
Two External Clock modes, offering the option of
using two pins (oscillator input and a divide-by-4
clock output) or one pin (oscillator input, with the
second pin reassigned as general I/O)
Two External RC Oscillator modes with the same
pin options as the External Clock modes
An internal oscillator block which contains a
16 MHz HFINTOSC oscillator and a 31 kHz
LFINTOSC oscillator which together provide 8
user selec t able clock freq ue nci es , from 31 kHz to
16 MHz. This option frees the two oscillator pins
for use as additional general purpose I/O.
A Phase Lock Loop (PLL) frequency multiplier,
ava ilable to both the high-speed crystal an d inter-
nal o scillator mode s, which a llows clock speeds of
up to 64 MHz. Used wi th the internal oscillator, the
PLL gives users a complete selection of clock
speeds , from 31 kHz t o 64 MHz – all withou t using
an external crystal or clock circuit.
Besides its availability as a clock source, the internal
oscill ato r blo ck pro vid es a s t ab le reference so urc e th at
gives the family additional features for robust
operation:
Fail-Safe Clock Monitor: This option constantly
monitors the main clock source against a refer-
ence s ign al provided by the LFI N T O SC. If a clo ck
failure occurs, the controller is switched to the
internal oscillator block, allowing for continued
operation or a safe application shutdown.
Two-Speed S tart-up: This option allows the
internal oscillator to serve as the clock source
from Power-on Reset , or wake-up from Sleep
mode, until the primary clock source is available.

DS41303G-page 12 2010 Microchip Technology Inc.
1.2 Other Special Features
Memory Endurance: The Flash cells for both
program memory and data EEPROM are rated to
last for many thousands of erase/write cycles – up to
10K for program memory and 100K for EEPROM.
Data retention without refresh is conservatively
estimated to be greater than 40 years.
Self-programmability: These devices can write
to their own program memory spaces und er inter-
nal software control. By using a bootloader rou-
tine located in the protected Boot Block at the top
of prog ram memory, it becom es possibl e to create
an application that can update itself in the field.
Extended Instruction Set: The PIC18F2XK20/
4XK20 family introduces an optional extension to
the PIC18 instruction set, which adds 8 new
instructions and an Indexed Addressing mode.
This ext ensio n, enabl ed as a de vice c onf igurati on
option, has b een specifi cally des igned to opt imize
re-ent rant appli cation c ode origi nally d eveloped in
high-level languages, such as C.
Enhanced CCP module: In PWM mode, this
module provides 1, 2 or 4 modulated outputs for
controlling half-bridge and full-bridge drivers.
Other features include:
- Auto-Shutdown, for disabling PWM outputs
on interrupt or other select conditions
- Auto-Restart, to reactivate outputs once the
conditi on has clea red
- Output steering to selectively enable one or
more of 4 outputs to provide the PWM signal.
Enhanced Addressable USART: This serial
communication module is capable of standard
RS-232 operation an d provides support for th e LIN
bus protocol. Other enhancements include
automatic baud rate detection and a 16-bit Baud
Rate Genera tor for improved res olution. Whe n the
microcontroller is using the internal oscillator
block, the USART provides stable operation for
applications that talk to the outside world without
using an external crystal (or its accompanying
power requirement).
10-bit A/D Converter: This module incorporates
programmable acquisition time, allowing for a
channel to be selected and a conversion to be
initiated withou t waiting for a sa mpling perio d and
thus, reduce code overhead.
Extended Watchdog Timer (WDT): This
enhanced version incorporates a 16-bit
postscaler, allowing an extended time-out range
that is sta ble acros s ope rati ng vol tage and
temperature. See Section 26.0 “Electrical
Characteristics for time-out periods.

2.0 OSCILLATOR MODULE (WITH
FAIL-SAFE CLOCK MONITOR)
2.1 Overview
The Oscillator module has a wide variety of clock
sources and selection features that allow it to be used
in a wide range of applicati ons while maximizing perfor-
mance and minimizing power consumption. Figure 2-1
illustrates a block diagram of the Oscillator module.
Clock sources can be configured from external
oscilla tors, quartz crystal resonators , ceramic resonators
and Resistor-Capacitor (RC) circuits. In addition, the
system clock source can be configured from one of two
internal oscillators, with a choice of speeds selectable via
softw are . Add itio nal clo ck feat ures inc lud e:
Selectable system clock source between external
or internal via so ftwa re.
Two-Speed S t art-up mode, whic h min im iz es
latency between external oscillator start-up and
code execution.
Fail-Safe Clock Monitor (FSCM) designed to
detect a failure of the external clock source (LP,
XT, HS, EC or RC modes) and switch
automatically to the internal oscillator.
The Oscillator module can be configured in one of ten
primary clock modes.
1. LP Low-Power Crystal
2. XT Crystal/Resonator
3. HS High-Speed Crystal/Resonator
4. HSPLL High-Speed Crystal/Resonator
with PLL enabled
5. RC External Resistor/Capacitor with
FOSC/4 output on RA6
6. RCIO External Resistor/Capacitor with I/O
on RA 6
7. INTOSC Internal Oscillator with FOSC/4
output on RA6 and I/O on RA7
8. INTOSCIO Internal Oscillator with I/O on RA6
and RA7
9. EC External Clock with FOSC/4 output
10. ECIO External Clock with I/O on RA6
Primary Clock modes are selected by the FOSC<3:0>
bits of the CONFIG1H Configuration Register. The
HFINT OSC and LFIN TOSC are factory calibrat ed high-
frequency and low-frequency oscillators, respectively,
which are used as the internal clock sources.

DS41303G-page 28 2010 Microchip Technology Inc.
2.2 Oscillator Control
The OSCCON register (Register 2-1) controls several
aspects of the device clock’s operation, both in full
power ope ratio n and in pow e r-ma nag ed mo des .
Main System Clock Selection (SCS)
Intern al Freq uen cy sele cti on bits (IRCF)
Clock Status bits (OSTS, IOFS)
Power management selection (IDLEN)
2.2. 1 MAIN SYSTEM CLOCK SELECTION
The System Clock Select bits, SCS<1:0>, select the
main clock source. The available clock sources are
Primary clock defined by the FOSC<3:0> bits of
CONFIG 1H. The primary clock can be the primar y
oscillator, an external clock, or the internal oscilla-
tor block.
Secondary clock (Timer1 oscillator)
Internal oscillator block (HF INTOSC and
LFINTOSC).
The clock source changes immediately after one or
more of th e bits is written to, fo llowing a br ief clock tra n-
sition interval. The SCS bits are cleared to select the
primary clock on all for m s of Reset.
2.2.2 INTERNAL FREQUENCY
SELECTION
The Internal Oscillator Frequency Select bits
(IRCF<2:0 >) selec t the fr equency output of th e interna l
oscill ator block. The choices are the LF INTOSC so urce
(31 kHz), the HFINTOSC source (16 MHz) or one of
the frequencies derived from the HFINTOSC post-
scaler (31.25 kHz to 8 MHz). If the internal oscillator
block is supplying the main clock, changing the states
of these bits will have an immediate change on the
internal oscillator s output. On device Resets, the out-
put frequency of the internal oscillator is set to the
default freq uen cy of 1 MHz.
2.2.3 LOW FREQUENCY SELECTION
When a nominal ou tput frequenc y of 31 kHz is selecte d
(IRCF<2:0> = 000), users may choose which internal
oscillator acts as the source. This is done with the
INTSRC bit of the OSCTUNE register. Setting this bit
select s t he HFINT OSC a s a 31 .25 kHz clock sourc e by
enabling the divide-by-512 output of the HFINTOSC
post scaler. Clearing INTSRC sel ects LFINT OSC (nom-
inally 31 kHz) as the clock source.
This option allows users to select the tunable and more
precise HFINTOSC as a clock source, while maintain-
ing power savings with a very low clock speed. Regard-
less of the setting of INTSRC, LFINTOSC always
remains the clock source for features such as the
Watchdog Timer and the Fail-Safe Clock Monitor.
2.2.4 CLOCK STATUS
The OS TS and IOFS bits of the OSCCON reg ister, and
the T1RUN bit of the T1CON register, indicate which
clock s ou rce is c urr e ntl y pr ovi d in g th e ma in cl o ck. T he
OSTS bit indicates that the Oscillator Start-up Timer
has timed out and the primary clock is providing the
dev ice c loc k. The IOF S b it in dica tes when th e in tern al
oscillator block has stabilized and is providing the
device clock in HFINTOSC Clock modes. The IOFS
and OSTS Status bits will both be set when
SCS<1:0> = 00 and HFINTOSC is the primary clock.
The T 1RUN bit indi cate s wh en th e Timer1 osc ill ato r is
providing the device clock in secondary clock modes.
When SCS<1:0> 00, only one of these three bits will
be set at any time. If none of these bits are set, the
LFINTOSC is providing the clock or the HFINTOSC
has just started and is not yet stable.
2.2.5 POWER MANAGEMENT
The IDLEN bit of the OSCCON register determines if
the device goes into Sleep mode or one of the Idle
modes wh en the SLEEP instruction is executed.
The use of the flag and control bits in the OSCCON
register is discussed in more detail in Section 3.0
“Power-M ana ged Modes”.
Note 1: The Timer1 oscillator must be enabled to
select the secondary clock source. The
T imer 1 oscilla tor is enable d by setting the
T1OSCEN bit of the T1CON register. If
the Timer1 oscillator is not enabled, then
the main oscillator will continue to run
from the previously selected source. The
source will then switch to the secondary
oscillator after the T1OSCEN bit is set.
2: It is recommended that the Timer1
oscillator be operating and stable before
selecting the secondary clock source or a

Timer1 oscillator starts.

2.3 Clock Source Modes
Clock Source modes can be classified as external or
internal.
External Clo ck mod es rely on e xternal circui try for
the clock source. Examples are: Clock modules
(EC mode), quartz crystal resonators or ceramic
resonators (LP, XT and HS modes) and Resistor-
Capacitor (RC mode) circuits.
Internal clock sources are contained internally
within the Oscillator block. The Oscillator block
has two internal oscillators: the 16 MHz High-
Frequency Internal Oscillator (HFINTOSC) and
the 31 kHz Low-Frequency Internal Oscillator
(LFINTOSC).
The syste m cl oc k can be selected betw ee n ex tern al or
internal clock sources via the System Clock Select
(SCS<1:0>) bits of the OSCCON register. See
Section 2.9 “Clock Switching for additio nal inform a-
tion.
2.4 External Clock Modes
2.4.1 OSCILLATOR START-UP TIMER
(OST)
When the Oscillator module is configured for LP, XT or
HS mo des , the O sc illat or Start-up Time r (O ST) c oun ts
1024 oscillations from OSC1. This occurs following a
Power-on Reset (POR) and when the Power-up Ti mer
(PWRT) has expired (if configured), or a wake-up from
Sleep. During this time, the program counter does not
increment and program execution is suspended. The
OST ensures that the oscillator circuit, using a quartz
cryst al res onator o r ce ramic res onator, has st arted an d
is providing a stable system clock to the Oscillator
module. When switching between clock sources, a
delay is required to allow the new clock to stabilize.
These oscillator delays are shown in Table 2-1.
In order to mi nimize laten cy between externa l oscillator
start-up and code execution, the Two-Speed Clock
Start-up mode can be selected (see Section 2.10
“Two-Speed Clock Start-up Mode”).
TABLE 2-1: OSCILLATOR DELAY EXAMPLES
2.4.2 EC MODE
The External Clock (EC) mode allows an externally
generated logic level as the system clock source. When
operating in this mode, an external clock source is
connected to the OSC1 input and the OSC2 is available
for general purpose I/O. Figure 2-2 shows the pin
connections for EC mode.
The Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) is disabled when
EC mode is selected. Therefore, there is no delay in
operation after a Power-on Reset (POR) or wake-up
from Sleep. Because the PIC® MCU design is fully
static, stopping the external clock input will have the
effect of halting the device while leaving all data intact.
Upon restarting the external clock, the device will
resume operation as if no time had elapsed.

2.4.3 LP, XT, HS MODES
The LP, XT and HS modes support the use of quartz
crystal resonators or ceramic resonators connected to
OSC1 a nd OSC2 (Figur e 2-3). The mod e selects a low ,
medium or high gain setting of the internal inverter-
amplifi er to support vari ous resonator typ es and spee d.
LP Oscillator mode selects the lowest gain setting of the
internal inverter-amplifier . LP mode current consumption
is the least of the three modes. This mode is bes t suited
to drive resonators with a low drive level specification, for
example, tuning fork type cry st als.
XT Oscillator mode selects the intermediate gain
setting of the internal inverter-amplifier. XT mode
current c onsumption is the medium of the three mo des.
This mode is best suited to drive resonators with a
medium drive level specification.
HS Oscillator mode selects the highest gain setting of the
internal inverter-amplifie r. HS mode current consumption
is the highest of the three modes. This mode is best
suited fo r reso nato rs that require a h igh driv e s ettin g.
Figure 2-3 and Figure 2-4 show typical circuits for
quartz crystal and ceramic resonators, respectively.

2.4.4 EXTERN AL RC MODES
The external Resistor-Capacitor (RC) modes support
the use of an external RC circuit. This allows the
designer maximum flexibility in frequency choice while
keeping costs to a minimum when clock accuracy is not
required. There are two modes: RC and RCIO.
2.4.4.1 RC Mode
In RC mode, the RC circuit connects to OSC1. OSC2/
CLKOUT outputs the RC oscillator frequency divided
by 4. This signal may be used to provide a clock for
external circuitry, synchronization, calibration, test or
other application requirements. Figure 2-5 shows the
external RC mode connections.
FIGURE 2-5: EXTERNAL RC MODES
2.4.4.2 RCIO Mode
In RCIO mode, the RC circuit is connected to OSC1.
OSC2 becomes an additional general purpose I/O pin.
The RC oscillator frequency is a function of the supply
voltage, the resis tor (REXT) and cap aci tor (CEXT) values
and the operating temperature. Other factors affecting
the oscillator frequency are:
input threshold voltage variation
component tolerances
pack aging variations in capa citance
The user also needs to take into account variation due
to tolerance of external RC components used.
2.5 Internal Clock Modes
The Oscillator module has two independent, internal
oscillators that can be configured or selected as the
system clock source.
1. The HFINTOSC (High-Frequency Internal
Oscillator) is factory calibrated and operates at
16 MHz. The frequency of the HFINTOSC can
be user-adjusted via software using the
OSCTUNE register (Register 2-2).
2. The LFINTOSC (Low-Frequency Internal
Oscillator) operates at 31 kHz.
The sy stem clock s peed can be selecte d via software
using the Internal Oscillator Frequency Select bits
IRCF<2:0> of the OSCCON register.
The syste m cl oc k can be selected between ext erna l or
internal clock sources via the System Clock Selection
(SCS<1:0>) bits of the OSCCON register. See
Section 2.9 “Clock Switching” for more information.
2.5.1 INTOSC AND INTOSCIO MODES
The INTOSC and INTOSCIO modes configure the
internal oscillators as the primary clock source. The
FOSC<3:0> bits in the CONFIG1H Configuration
register determine which mode is selected. See
Section 23.0 “Special Features of the CPU” for more
information.
In INTOSC mode, OSC1/ CLKIN is av ailable for general
purpose I/O. OSC2/CLKOUT outputs the selected
internal oscillator fre quency divide d by 4. The CLKO UT
signal may be used to provide a clock for external
circuitry, synchronization, calibration, test or other
application requirements.
In INTOSCIO mode, OSC1/CLKIN and OSC2/CLKOUT
are available for general purpose I/O.
2.5.2 HFINTOSC
The output of the HFINTOSC connects to a postscaler
and multiplexer (see Figure 2-1). One of eight
frequencies can be selected via software using the
IRCF<2:0> bits of the OSCCON register. See
Section 2.5.4 “Frequency Select Bits (IRCF)” for
more information.
The HFINTOSC is enabled when:
•SCS1 = 1 and IRCF<2:0> 000
•SCS1 = 1 and IRCF<2 :0> = 000 and INT SRC = 1
IESO bit of CONFIG1H = 1 enablin g Two-Speed
Start-up.
FCMEM bit of C ONFIG1H = 1 enabling Two-
Speed Start-up and Fail-Safe mode.
FOSC<3:0> of CONFIG1H selects the internal
oscillator as the primary clock
The HF Internal Oscillator (IOFS) bit of the OSCCON
register indicates whether the HFINTOSC is stable or not.

PIC18F2XK20/4XK20
2.5.2.1 OSCTUNE Register
The HFINTOSC is factory calibrated but can be
adjusted in software by writing to the TUN<5:0> bits of
the OSCTUNE register (Register 2-2).
The default value of the TUN<5:0> is000000’. The
value is a 6-bit two’s complement number.
When the OSCTUNE register is modified, the
HFINTOSC frequency will begin shifting to the new
frequency. Code execution continues during this shift.
There is no indication that the shif t has occurred.
OSCTUNE does not affect the LFINTOSC frequency.
Operation of features that depend on the LFINTOSC
clock source frequency, such as the Power-up Timer
(PWRT), Watchdog Timer (WDT), Fail-Safe Clock Mon-
itor (FSCM) and peripherals, are not affected by the
change in frequency.
The OSCTUNE register also implements the INTSRC
and PLLEN bits, which control certain features of the
internal oscillator block.
The INTSRC bit allows users to select which internal
oscillator provides the clock source when the 31 kHz
frequenc y opt ion is se lected . This is cove red in greater
detail in Section 2.2.3 “Low Frequency Selection”.
The PLLEN bit controls the operation of the frequency
multiplier, PLL, in internal oscillator modes. For more
details about the function of the PLLEN bit see
Section 2.6.2 “PLL in HFINTOSC Modes

DS41303G-page 34 2010 Microchip Technology Inc.
2.5.3 LFINTOSC
The Low-Frequency Internal Oscillator (LFINTOSC) is
a 31 kH z internal clock source.
The output of the LFINTOSC connects to internal
oscillator block frequency selection multiplexer (see
Figure 2-1). Select 31 kHz, via software, using the
IRCF<2:0> bits of the OSCCON register and the
INTSRC bit of the OSCTUNE register. See
Section 2.5.4 “Frequency Select Bits (IRCF)” for
more information. The LFINTOSC is also the frequency
for the Power-up Timer (PWRT), Watchdog Timer
(WDT) and Fail -Safe Cloc k M onitor (FSCM ).
The LFINTOSC is enabled when any of the following
are enabled:
IRCF<2:0> bits of the OSCCON register = 000 and
INTSR C bit of the OSCTUN E regi ste r = 0
Power-up Ti mer (PWRT)
Watchdog Timer (WDT)
Fail-Safe Clock Monitor (FSCM)
2.5.4 FREQUENCY SELECT BITS (IRCF)
The output of the 16 MHz HFINTOSC and 31 kHz
LFINTOSC connects to a postscaler and multiplexer
(see Figure 2-1). The Internal Oscillator Frequency
Select bits IRCF<2:0> of the OSCCON register select
the output frequency of the internal oscillators. One of
eight frequencies can be selected via software:
•16 MHz
•8 MHz
•4 MHz
•2 MHz
1 MHz (Default after Reset)
500 kHz
250 kHz
31 kHz (LFINTOSC or HFINTOSC/512)
2.5.5 HFINTOSC FREQUENCY DRIFT
The factory calibr ates the internal oscillator bl ock output
(HFINTOSC) for 16 MHz. However, this frequency may
drift as VDD or temperature changes, which can affect the
controller opera tion in a variety of ways. It is possible to
adjust the H FINTOSC frequency by modifying t he value
of the TUN<5:0> bits in the OSCTUNE register. This has
no effect on the LFINTOSC clock source frequency.
T uning the HFINTOSC source requires knowing when to
make the adjustment, in which direction it should be
made and in some cases, how large a change is
needed. Three possible compensation techniques are
discussed in the following section s, ho w ever other te ch-
niques may be used.
2.5.5.1 Compensating with the USART
An adjustment may be required when the USART
begins t o genera te frami ng errors or receive s dat a with
errors while in Asynchronous mode. Framing errors
indicate that the device clock frequency is too high; to
adjust for this, decrement the value in OSCTUNE to
reduce the clock frequency. On the other hand, errors
in data may suggest that the clock speed is too low; to
compensate, increment OSCTUNE to increase the
clock frequency.
2.5.5.2 Compensating with the Timers
This technique compares device clock speed to some
reference clock. Two timers may be used; one timer is
clocked by the peripheral clock, while the other is
clocked by a fixed reference source, such as the
Timer1 oscillator.
Both timers are cleared, but the timer clocked by the
reference generates interrupts. When an interrupt
occurs, the internally clocked timer is read and both
timers are cleared. If the internally clocked timer value
is greater than expected, then the internal oscillator
block is running too fast. To adjust for this, decrement
the OSCTUNE register.
2.5.5.3 Compensating with the CCP Module
in Capture Mode
A CCP mod ule c a n u se free runn in g Tim er1 (o r Ti mer3 ),
clocked by the internal oscillator block and an external
event with a known period (i.e., AC power frequency).
The time of the first event is captured in the
CCPRxH:CCPRxL registers and is recorded for use later .
When the second event causes a capture, the time of the
first event is subtracted from the time of the second
event. Since the period of the external event is known,
the time difference between events can be calculated.
If the measured time is much greater than the calcu-
lated time, the internal oscillator block is running too
fast; to compensate, decrement the OSCTUNE register .
If the measured time is much less than the calculated
time, the int er nal osci llator block is r unning to o slow ; to
compensate, increment the OSCTUNE register .
Note: Following any Reset, the IRC F<2:0> bits of
the OSCCON register are set to011’ and
the frequency selection is set to 1 MHz.
The user can modify the IRCF bits to
select a different frequency.

PIC18F2XK20/4XK20
2.6 PLL Frequency Multiplier
A Phase Locked Loop (PLL) circuit is provided as an
option for users who wish to use a lower frequency
oscillator circuit or to clock the device up to its highest
rated f requenc y from the crys ta l osci llator. This may be
useful for customers who are concerned with EMI due
to high-frequency crystals or users who require higher
clock speeds from an internal oscillator. There are
three conditions when the PLL can be used:
When the primary clock is HSP LL
When the primary clock is HFINTOSC and the
selected frequency is 16 MHz
When the primary clock is HFINTOSC and the
selected frequency is 8 MHz
2.6.1 HSPLL OSCILLATOR MODE
The HSPL L mode makes use of the HS mode oscil lator
for freque ncies u p to 16 MH z. A PLL t hen mult iplies th e
oscillator output frequency by 4 to produce an internal
clock frequency up to 64 MHz. The PLLEN bit of the
OSCTUNE regis ter is act ive on ly when the H FINT OSC
is the prim ary clock and is not available in H SPLL oscil-
lator mode.
The PLL is only available to the primary oscillator when
the FOSC<3:0> Con figurat ion bit s are p rogrammed for
HSPLL mode (= 0110).
FIGURE 2-6: PLL BLOCK DIAGRAM
(HS MODE)
2.6.2 PLL IN HFINTOSC MODES
The 4x frequency multiplier can be used with the inter-
nal oscillator block to produce faster device clock
speeds than are normally possible with an internal
oscillator. When enabled, the PLL produces a clock
speed of up to 64 MHz.
Unlike HSPLL mode, the PLL is controlled through
software. The PLLEN control bit of the OSCTUNE
register is used to enable or disable the PLL operation
when the HFINTOSC is used.
The PLL is available when the device is configured to
use the internal oscillator block as its primary clock
source (FOSC<3:0> = 1001 or 1000). Additionally, the
PLL will only function when the selected output fre-
quency is either 8 MHz or 16 MHz (OSCCON<6:4> =
111 or 110). If both of these conditions are not met, the
PLL is disabled.
The PLLEN control bit is only functional in those inter-
nal oscillator modes where the PLL is available. In all
other modes, it is forced to ‘0’ and is effectively
unavailable.

2.7 Effects of Power-Managed Modes
on the Various Clock Sources
For more information about the modes discussed in this
section see Section 3.0 “Power-Managed Modes”. A
quick reference list is also available in Table 3-1.
When PRI_IDLE mode is selected, the designated pri-
mary oscillator continues to run without interruption.
For all other power-managed modes, the oscillator
using the OSC1 pin is disabled. The OSC1 pin (and
OSC2 pin, if us ed by th e oscillat or) will stop oscil lating.
In secondary clock modes (SEC_RUN and
SEC_IDLE), the Timer1 oscillator is operating and
providing the device clock. The Timer1 oscillator may
also run in all power-managed modes if required to
clock Timer1 or Timer3.
In internal oscillator modes (INTOSC_RUN and
INTOSC_IDLE), the internal oscillator block provides
the device clock source. The 31 kHz LFINTOSC output
can be used directly to provide the clock and may be
enabled to support various spe cial features, reg ardless
of the power-managed mode (see Section 23.2
“Watchdog Timer (WDT)”, Section 2.10 “Two-
S peed Clock S t art-up Mode” an d Section 2.1 1 “Fail-
Safe Clock Monitor” for more information on WDT,
Fail-Safe Clock Monitor and Two-Speed Start-up). The
HFINTOSC output at 16 MHz may be used directly to
cloc k the dev ice or m ay be di vided do wn by th e post-
scaler. The HFINT OSC outpu t is disable d if the clock is
provided directly from the LFINTOSC output.
If the Sleep mode is selected, all clock sources are
stopped. Since all the transistor switching currents
have been stopped, Sleep mode achieves the lowest
current consumption of the device (only leakage
currents).
Enabling any on-chip feature that will operate during
Sleep w ill increase th e current cons umed during S leep.
The LFINTOSC is required to support WDT operation.
The Timer1 oscillator may be operating to support a
real-time clock. Other features may be operating that
do not require a device clock source (i.e., SSP slave,
PSP, INTn pins and others). Peripherals that may add
significant current consumption are listed in
Section 2 6.8 “D C Characteristics”.
2.8 Power-up Delays
Power-up delays are controlled by two timers, so that
no exte rna l R e se t c ircui try is requi red fo r m os t a ppl ic a-
tions. The delays ensure that the device is kept in
Reset until the device powe r supply i s stable under nor-
mal circumstances and the primary clock is operating
and stable. For additional information on power-up
delays, see Section 4.5 “Device Reset Timers”.
The first timer is the Power-up Timer (PWRT), which
provides a fixed delay on power-up (parameter 33,
Table 26-10). It is enabled by clearing (= 0) the
PWRTEN Configuration bit.
The second timer is the Oscillator Start-up Timer
(OST), intended to keep the chip in Reset until the
crystal oscillator is stable (LP, XT and HS modes). The
OST does this by counting 1024 oscillator cycles
before allowing the oscillator to clock the device.
When the HSPLL Oscillator mode is selected, the
device is k ept in Res et for an add itiona l 2 ms, foll owing
the HS mode OST delay, so the PLL can lock to the
inco mi ng cl ock frequency.
There is a delay of interval TCSD (parameter 38,
Table 26-10), following POR, while the controller
become s ready to ex ecute instruc tions. This del ay runs
concurrently with any other delays. This may be the
only de lay that occu rs when any of the EC, RC or INTIO
modes are used as the primary clock source.
When the HFINTOSC is sele cte d as the prim ary clock,
the main system clock can be delayed until the
HFINTOSC is stable. This is user selectable by the
HFOFST bit of the CONFIG3H Configuration register.
When the HFOFST bit is cleared the main system clock
is delayed until the HFINTOSC is stable. When the
HFOFST b it is se t the mai n syste m clock starts imme -
diately . In either case the IOFS bit of the OSCCON reg-
ister c an be read to de term in e w h eth er th e HFIN T O SC
is operating and stable.

2.9 Clock Switching
The system clock source can be switched between
external and internal clock sources via software using
the System Clock Select (SCS<1:0>) bits of the
OSCCON register.
PIC18F2XK20/4XK20 devices contain circuitry to pre-
vent clock “glitches” when switching between clock
sources. A short pause in the device clock occurs dur-
ing the clock s witch. The lengt h of this p ause is the sum
of two cycles of the old clock source and three to four
cycles of the new clock source. This formula assumes
that the new clock source is stable.
Clock transitions are discussed in greater detail in
Section 3.1.2 “Entering Power-Managed Modes”.
2.9.1 SYSTEM CLOCK SELECT
(SCS<1:0>) BITS
The System Clock Select (SCS<1:0>) bits of the
OSCCON register sele ct the sy stem clo ck source that
is used for the CPU and peripherals.
When SCS< 1:0> = 00, the system clock source is
determined by configuration of the FOSC<2:0>
bits in the CONFI G1H Configuration registe r.
When SCS< 1:0> = 10, the system clock source is
chosen by the internal oscillator frequency
selected by the INTSRC bit of the OSCTUNE
register and the IRCF < 2 :0> bits of th e OSCCON
register.
When SCS< 1:0> = 01, the system clock source is
the 32.768 kHz seco ndary oscillator shared with
Timer1.
After a Reset, the SCS<1:0> bits of the OSCCON
register are always cleared.
2.9.2 O SCIL LAT OR START-UP TIME-OU T
STATUS (OSTS) BIT
The Oscillator Start-up Time-out Status (OSTS) bit of
the OSCCON register indicates whether the system
clock is running from the external clock source, as
defined by the FOSC<3:0> bits in the CONFIG1H
Configuration register, or from the internal clock
source. In particular, when the primary oscillator is the
source of the primary clock, OSTS indicates that the
Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) has timed out for LP,
XT or HS modes.
2.9.3 CLOCK SWITCH TIMING
When switching between one oscillator and another,
the new oscillator may not be operating which saves
power (see Figure 2-7). If this is the case, there is a
del ay afte r the SCS<1:0> bits of the OSCCON register
are modi fied before the frequency cha ng e takes pl ac e.
The OSTS and IOFS bits of the OSCCON register will
reflect the current active status of the external and
HFINTOSC oscillators. The timing of a frequency
selection is as follows:
1. SCS<1:0> bits of the OSCCON register are mod-
ified.
2. The old c lo ck continues to ope rate until the new
clock is ready.
3. Clock switch circuitry waits for two consecutive
rising edges of the old clock after the new clock
ready signal goes true.
4. The syste m c lo ck is h eld lo w starting at t he next
falling edge of the old clock.
5. Clock switc h cir cui try waits for an addition al tw o
rising edges of the new clock.
6. On the ne xt fallin g edge of the n ew clock the low
hold on the system clock is released and new
clock is swi tch ed in as the system cl ock .
7. Clock switch is complete.
See Figure 2-1 for more details.
If the HFINTOSC is the source of both the old and new
frequency, there is no start-up delay before the new
frequency is active. This is because the old and new
frequencies are derived from the HFINTOSC via the
postscaler and multiplexer.
Start-up delay specifications are located in
Section 26.0 “Electrical Characteristics”, under AC
Specifications (Oscillator Module).
Note: Any automatic clock switch, which may
occur from Two-S peed Start-up or Fail-Safe
Clock Monitor, does not update the
SCS<1:0> bits of the OSCCON register.
The user can monitor the T1RUN bit of the
T1CON register and the IOFS and OSTS
bits of the OSCCON register to determine
the current system clock source.

2.10 Two-Speed Clock Start-up Mode
Two-Speed Start-up mode provides additional power
savings by minimizing the latency between external
oscillator start-up and code execution. In applications
that make heavy use of the Sleep mode, Two-Speed
Start-up will remove the external oscillator start-up
time from the time spent awake and can reduce the
overall power consumption of the device.
This mode allows the application to wake-up from
Sleep, perform a few instructions using the HFINTOSC
as the clock source and go back to Sleep without
waiting for the primary oscillator to become stable.
When the Oscillat or module is conf igured for LP, XT or
HS modes, the Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) is
enabled (see Section 2.4.1 “Oscillator Start-up Timer
(OST)). The OST will suspend program execution until
1024 oscillations are counted. Two-Speed Start-up
mode minimizes the delay in code execution by
operating from the internal oscillator as the OST is
counting. When the OST count reaches 1024 and the
OSTS bit of the OSCCON register is set, program
execution switches to the external oscillator.
2.10.1 TWO-SPEED START-UP MODE
CONFIGURATION
Two-Speed Start-up mode is enabled when all of the
following settings are configured as noted:
Two-Speed Start-up mode is enabled by setting
the IESO o f the CONFIG1H C onfiguration register
is set. Fail-Safe mode (FCMEM = 1) also enabl es
two-speed by default.
SCS<1:0> (of the OSCCON register) = 00.
FOSC<2:0> bits of the CONFIG1H Configuration
register are configured for LP, XT or HS mode.
Two-Speed Start-up mode becomes active after:
Power-on Reset (PO R) an d, if enabled, after
Power-up Ti mer (PWRT) has expired, or
Wake-up from Sleep.
If the external clock oscillator is configured to be
anything other than LP, XT or HS mode, then Two-
Speed Start-up is disabled. This is because the
external clock oscillator does not require any
stabilization time after POR or an exit from Sleep.
2.10 .2 TWO-SPEED START-UP
SEQUENCE
1. Wake-up from Power-on Reset or Sleep.
2. Instructions begin executing by the internal
oscillator at the frequency set in the IRCF<2:0>
bits of th e O SCCON re giste r.
3. OST enabled to count 1024 external clock
cycles.
4. OST timed out. External clock is ready.
5. OSTS is set.
6. Clock switch finishes according to FIGURE 2-7:
“Clock Switch Timing”
2.10.3 CHECKI NG TWO-SPEED CLOCK
STATUS
Checking the state of the OSTS bit of the OSCCON
register will confirm if the microcontroller is running
from the external clock source, as defined by the
FOSC<2:0> bits in CONFIG1H Configuration register,
or the internal oscillator. OSTS = 0 when the external
oscillator is not ready, which indicates that the system
is running from the internal oscillator.
Note: Executing a SLEEP instruction will abort
the oscillator start-up time and will cause
the OSTS bit of the OSCCON register to
remain clear.

2.11 Fail-Safe Clock Monitor
The Fail-Saf e Cl oc k Mo nit or (F SCM) al low s the devic e
to continue operat ing should th e external os ci ll ato r fail.
The FSCM can detect oscillator failure any time after
the Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) has expired. The
FSCM is enabled by setting the FCMEN bit in the
CONFIG1H Configuration register. The FSCM is
applicable to all external oscillator modes (LP, XT, HS,
EC, RC and RCIO).
FIGURE 2-8: FSCM BLOCK DIAGRAM
2.11.1 FAIL-SAFE DETECTION
The FSCM module detects a failed oscillator by
compari ng the extern al osci llat or to the FSCM sa mple
clock. The sample clock is generated by dividing the
LFINTOSC by 64. See Figure 2-8. Inside the fail
detector block is a latch. The external clock sets the
latch on each falling edge of the external clock. The
sample clock cle ars the latch on each rising edge of the
sample c loc k. A fail ure is d ete cte d w h en an entire half-
cycle of the sample clock elapses before the primary
clock goes low.
2.11.2 FAIL-SAFE OPERATION
When the external clock fails, the FSCM switches the
devi ce clock to an interna l clock s ource and s ets the b it
flag OSC FIF of the PIR2 registe r. The OSCFIF flag will
generate an interrupt if the OSCFIE bit of the PIE2
register is also set. The device firmware can then take
steps to mitigate the problems that may arise from a
failed clock. The system clock will continue to be
sourced from the internal clock source until the device
firmware successfully restarts the external oscillator
and switches back to external operation. An automatic
transition back to the failed clock source will not occur.
The internal clock source chosen by the FSCM is
determined by the IRCF<2:0> bits of the OSCCON
register. This allows the internal oscillator to be
configured before a failure occurs.
2.11.3 FAIL-SAFE CONDITION CLEARING
The Fail-Safe condition is cleared by either one of the
following:
•Any Reset
By togg ling the SCS1 bit of the OSCCON register
Both of these conditions restart the OST. While the
OST is running, the device continues to operate from
the INTOSC selected in OSCCON. When the OST
times out, the Fail-Safe condition is cleared and the
device automatically switches over to the external clock
source. The Fail-Safe condition need not be cleared
before the OSCFIF flag is cleared.
2.11.4 RESET OR WAKE-UP FROM SLEEP
The FSCM is designed to detect an oscillator failure
after the Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) has expired.
The OST is used after waking up from Sleep and after
any type of Reset. The OST is not used with the EC or
RC Clock modes so that the FSCM will be active as
soon as the Reset or wake-up has completed. When
the FSCM is enabled, the Two-Speed Start-up is also
enabled . Therefore, the device will alway s be executing
code while the OST is operating.

the oscillator start-up and that the system
clock switchover has successfully
completed.

PIC18F2XK20/4XK20
3.0 POWER-MANAGED MODES
PIC18F2XK20/4XK20 devices offer a total of seven
operating modes for more efficient power manage-
ment. These modes provide a variety of options for
selective power conservation in applications where
resources may be limited (i.e., battery-powered
devices).
There are three categories of power-managed modes:
Run modes
Idle mo des
Sleep mode
These categories define which portions of the device
are clo cked and some times , what sp eed. The R un and
Idle modes may use any of the three available clock
sources (primary, secondary or internal oscillator
block); the Sleep mode does not use a clock source.
The power-managed modes include several power-
saving features of fered on previous PIC® microcontroller
devices. One is the clock switchin g feature which allows
the controller to use the Timer1 oscillator in place of the
primary oscillator. Also included is the Sleep mode,
offered by all PIC® microcontroller devices, where all
device clocks are stopped.
3.1 Selecting Power-Managed Modes
Selecting a power-managed mode requires two
decisions:
Whether or not the CPU is to be clocked
The selectio n of a cl ock source
The IDLEN bit of the OSCCON register controls CPU
clocking, while the SCS<1:0> bits of the OSCCON
register select the clock source. The individual modes,
bit settings, clock sources and affected modules are
summa riz ed in Table 3-1.
3.1.1 CLOCK SOURCES
The SCS<1:0> bits allow the selection of one of three
clock sources for power-managed modes. They are:
the primary clock, as defined by the FOSC<3:0>
Configuration bits
the secondary clock (the Ti mer1 oscillator)
the internal oscillator block
3.1.2 ENTERING POWER-MANAGED
MODES
Switching from one power-managed mode to another
begins by loading the OSCCON register. The
SCS<1:0> bits select the clock source and determine
which Run or Idle mode is to be used. Changing these
bits causes an immediate switch to the new clock
source, assuming that it is running. The switch may
also be subject to clock transition delays. These are
discussed in Section 3.1.3 “Clock Transitions and
Status Indicators” and subsequent sections.
Entry to the power-managed Idle or Sleep modes is
triggered by the execution of a SLEEP instruction. The
actual mode that results depends on the status of the
IDLEN bit of the OSCCON register.
Depending on the current mode and the mode being
switched to, a change to a power-managed mode does
not always require setting all of these bits. Many
transitions may be done by changing the oscillator select
bits, or changing the IDL EN bit, prior to issuing a SLEEP
instruction. If the IDLEN bit is already configured
correctly, it may only be necessary to perform a SLEEP
instruction to switch to the de sired mod e.

DS41303G-page 44 2010 Microchip Technology Inc.
3.1.3 CLOCK TRANSITIONS AND
STATUS INDICATORS
The length of the transition between clock sources is
the sum of:
Start-up time of the new clock
Two and one half cycles of the old clock source
Two and one half cycles of the new clock
Three flag bits indicate the current clock source and its
status. They are:
OSTS (of the OSCCON register)
IOFS (of the OSCCON register)
T1RUN (of the T1CON register)
In general, only one of these bits will be set while in a
given power-managed mode. Table 3-2 shows the rela-
tionship of the flags to the active main system clock
source.
TABLE 3-2: SYSTEM CLOCK INDICATORS
.
3.1.4 MULTIPLE FUNCTIONS OF THE
SLEEP COMMAND
The power-managed mode that is invoked with the
SLEEP instruction is determined by the setting of the
IDLEN bit of the OSCCON register at the time the
instruction is executed. All clocks stop and minimum
power is consumed when SLEEP is executed with the
IDLEN bit cleared. The system clock continues to sup-
ply a clock to the peripherals but is disconnected from
the CPU when SLEEP is executed with the IDLEN bit
set.
3.2 Run Modes
In the Run modes, clocks to both the core and
peripherals are active. The difference between these
modes is the clock sour ce .
3.2.1 PRI_RUN MODE
The PRI_RUN mode is the normal, full power execution
mode of the microcontroller. This is also the default
mode upon a device Reset, unless Two-Speed Start-
up is enabled (see Section 2.10 “Two-Speed Clock
St art-up Mode” for det ails). In this mo de, the OS TS bit
is set. The IOFS bit will be set if the HFINTOSC is the
primary clock source and the oscillator is stable (see
Section 2.2 “Oscillator Control”).
3.2.2 SEC_RUN MODE
The SEC_RUN mode is the mode compatible to the
“clock switching” feature offered in other PIC18
devices. In this mode, the CPU and peripherals are
clock ed from the T ime r1 oscill ator . This gives us ers the
option of lower power consumption while still using a
high accuracy clock source.
SEC_RUN mode is entered by setting the SCS<1:0>
bits to ‘01’. When SEC_RUN mode is active all of the
following are true:
The main clock s ource is switched t o the Timer1
oscillator
Primary oscillator is shut down
T1RUN bit of the T1CON register is set
OSTS bit is cleared.
On transitions from SEC_RUN mode to PRI_RUN, the
peripherals and CPU continue to be clocked from the
Timer1 oscillator while the primary clock is started.
When t he prima ry clo ck becom es r eady, a clock switch
back to the primary clock occurs (see Figure 2-7).
When the clock switch is complete, the T1RUN bit is
cleared, the OSTS bit is set and the primary clock is
providing the main system clock. The Timer1 oscillator
continues to run as long as the T1OSCEN bit is set.
OSTS IOFS T1RUN Main System Clock Source
10 0 Primary Oscillato r
01 0 HFINTOSC
00 1 Secondary Oscillator
11 0 HFINTOSC as primary clock
00 0 LFINTOSC or
HFINTOSC is not yet stable
Note 1: Executing a SLEEP instruction does not
necessarily place the device into Sleep
mode. It acts as the trigger to place the
controller into either the Sleep mode or
one of the Idle modes, depending on the
setting of the IDLEN bit.
Note: The Timer1 oscillator should already be
running pri or to entering SEC_RUN mod e.
If the T1OSCEN bit is not set when the
SCS<1:0> bits are set to01’, entry to
SEC_RUN mode will not occur until
T1OSCEN bit is set and Timer1 oscillator
is ready.
2010 Microchip Technology Inc. DS41303G-page 45
PIC18F2XK20/4XK20
3.2.3 RC_RUN MODE
In RC_RUN mode, the CPU and peripherals are
clocked from the internal oscillator block using one of
the selections from the HFINTOSC multiplexer. In this
mode, the primary oscillator is shut down. RC_RUN
mode provides the best power conservation of all the
Run modes when the LFINTOSC is the main clock
source. It works well fo r user a pplicati ons whic h are n ot
highly timing sensitive or do not require high-speed
cloc ks at all ti mes.
If the primary clock source is the internal oscillator
block (either LFINTOSC or HFINTOSC), there are no
distinguishable differences between PRI_RUN and
RC_RUN modes during execution. However, a clock
switch delay will occur during entry to and exit from
RC_RUN mode. Therefore, if th e primary clock source
is the internal oscillator block, the use of RC_RUN
mode is not recommended. See 2.9.3 “Clock Switch
Timing” for details about clock switching.
RC_RUN mode is entered by setting the SCS1 bit to
1’. The SCS0 bit can be either ‘0’ or ‘1’ but should be
0’ to maintain software compatibility with future
devices. When the clock source is switched from the
primary oscillator to the HFI NTOSC mul tiplexer , the pri-
mary oscillator is shut down and the OSTS bit is
clear e d. Th e I RC F bi ts m ay be mo d ifi ed a t a ny tim e t o
immediately change the clock speed.
On transitions from RC_RUN mode to PRI_RUN mode,
the device continues to be clocked from the internal
oscillator block while the primary oscillator is started.
When the primary oscillator becomes ready, a clock
switch to the primary clock occurs. When the clock
switch is complete, the IOFS bit is cleared, the OSTS
bit is s et and the pri mary oscillato r is provi ding the mai n
system clock. The HFINTOSC will continue to run if any
of the conditions noted in Section 2.5.2 “HFINTOSC”
are met. The LFINTOSC source will continue to run if
any of the conditions noted in Section 2.5.3 “LFIN-
TOSC are met.
3.3 Sleep Mode
The Power-Managed Sleep mode in the PIC18F2XK20/
4XK20 devices is identical to the legacy Sleep mode
offered in all other PIC® microcontroller devices. It is
entered by clearing the IDLEN bit (the default state on
device Reset) and executing the SLEEP instruction.
This shuts down the selected oscillator (Figure 3-1). All
clock source Status bits are cleared.
Entering th e Sleep mode from any other mode does not
require a clock switch. This is because no clocks are
needed once the controller has entered Sleep. If the
WDT is selected, the LFINTOSC source will contin ue to
operate. If the Timer1 oscillator is enabled, it will also
continue to run.
When a wake ev ent occurs in Sleep mode (by interrupt,
Reset or WDT time-o ut), the devi ce wil l not be clocke d
until the clock source selected by the SCS<1:0> bits
becomes ready (see Figure 3-2), or it will be clocked
from the internal oscillator block if either the T wo-S peed
Start-up or the Fail-Safe Clock Monitor are enabled
(see Se ction 23.0 “S pecial Featur es of the CPU”). In
either case , the OS TS bit is set when th e p rimary cl ock
is providing the device clocks. The IDLEN and SCS bits
are not affected by the wake-up.
3.4 Idle Modes
The Idle modes allow the controller’s CPU to be
selectively sh ut down while the p eriph erals continue to
operate. Selecting a particular Idle mode allows users
to further manage power consumption.
If the IDLEN bit i s set to a ‘1’ when a SLEEP inst ruction is
exec uted, the periph erals will be cl ocked fr om the cl ock
source selected by the SCS<1:0> bits; however , the CPU
will not be clocked. The clock source Status bits are not
affected. Setting IDLEN and executing a SLEEP instruc-
tion provides a quick method of switching from a given
Run mode to i t s c orre s pon di ng I dl e m o de.
If the WDT is se lec ted , the LFINTOSC source will co n-
tinue to operate. If the Timer1 oscillator is enabled, it
will also continue to run.
Since the CPU is not executing instructions, the only
exits from any of the Idle modes are by interrupt, WDT
time-out, or a Reset. When a wake event occurs, CPU
execution is delayed by an interval of TCSD
(parameter 38, Table 26-10) while it becomes ready to
execute code. When the CPU begins executing code,
it resumes with the same clock source for the current
Idle mode. For example, when waking from RC_IDLE
mode, the internal oscillator block will clock the CPU
and peripherals (in other words, RC_ RUN mo de). The
IDLEN and SCS bits are not affected by the wake-up.
While in any Idle mode or the Sleep mode, a WDT
time-out will result in a WDT wake-up to the Run mode
currently specified by the SCS<1:0> bits.

3.4.1 PRI_IDLE MODE
This mode is unique among the three low-power Idle
modes, in that it does not disable the primary device
clock. For timing sensitive applications, this allows for
the faste st resump tion of device op eration with its more
accur ate prima ry clock sour ce, sinc e the clock s ource
does not have to “warm-up” or transition from another
oscillator.
PRI_IDLE mode is entered from PRI_RUN mode by
setting the IDLEN bit and executing a SLEEP instruc-
tion. If the device is in another Run mode, set IDLEN
first, then clear the SCS bits and execute SLEEP.
Although the C PU is disab led, th e peri pherals continu e
to be clocked from the primary clock source specified
by the FOSC<3:0> Configuration bits. The OSTS bit
remains set (see Figure 3.3).
When a wake event occurs, the CPU is clocked from the
primary clock source. A delay of interval TCSD is
required between the wake event and when code
execution starts. This is required to allow the CPU to
become rea dy to execute instructions. After the wake-
up, the OSTS bit remains set. The IDLEN and SCS bits
are not affected by the wake-up (see Figure 3-4).
3.4.2 SEC_IDLE MODE
In SEC_IDLE mode, the CPU is disabled but the
peripherals continue to be clocked from the Timer1
oscillator . This mode is entered from SEC_RUN by set-
ting the IDLEN bit and exec uting a SLEEP instruction. If
the device is in another Run mode, set the IDLEN bit
first, then set the SCS<1:0> bits to ‘01’ and execute
SLEEP. When the clock source is switched to the
Timer1 oscillator, the primary oscillator is shut down,
the OSTS bit is cleared and the T1RUN bit is set.
When a wake event occurs, the peripherals continue to
be clocked from the Timer1 oscillator. After an interval
of TCSD followi ng the wa ke event, the CPU b egins exe-
cuting c ode being cl ocked by the T imer1 osc illator. The
IDLEN and SCS bits are not affected by the wake-up;
the Timer1 oscillator continues to run (see Figure 3-4).
FIGURE 3-3: TRANSITION TIMING FOR ENTRY TO IDLE MODE
FIGURE 3-4: TRANSITION TIMING FOR WAKE FROM IDLE TO RUN MODE
Note: The Timer1 oscillator should already be
running prior to entering SEC_IDLE mode.
If the T1OSCEN bit is not set when the
SLEEP instruction is executed, the main
system clock will continue to operate in the
previously selected mode and the corre-
sponding IDLE mode will be entered (i.e.,
PRI_IDLE or RC_IDLE).

mode allows for controlla ble power conservation durin g
Idle period s.
From RC_RUN, this mode is entered by setting the
IDLEN bit and executing a SLEEP instruction. If the
device is in a nother Run m ode, first s et IDLEN, th en set
the SCS1 bit and execute SLEEP. It is recommended
that SCS0 also be cleared, although its value is
ignored, to maintain software compatibility with future
devices. The HFINTOSC multiplexer may be used to
select a higher clock frequency by modifying the IRCF
bits be for e ex ecut in g the SLEEP instruction. When the
clock source is switched to the HFINTOSC multiplexer ,
the primary oscillator is shut down and the OSTS bit is
cleared.
If the IRCF bits are set to any non-zero value, or the
INTSRC bit is set, the HFINTOSC output is enabled.
The IOF S bi t beco mes s et, af ter t he HF INT OSC o utput
becomes stable, after an interval of TIOBST
(parameter 39, Table 26-10). Clocks to the peripherals
continue while the HFINTOSC source stabilizes. If the
IRCF bits were previously at a non-zero value, or
INTSRC was set before the SLEEP instruction was exe-
cuted and the HFINTOSC source was already stable,
the IOFS bit will remain set. If the IRCF bits and
INTSRC ar e all cle ar, th e HFINT OSC out put will no t be
enabled , the I OFS bit wi ll remain clear and t here wil l be
no indication of the current clock source.
When a w ake event o ccurs, the pe ripherals continue to
be clocked from the HFINTOSC multiplexer output.
After a delay of TCSD following the wake event, the
CPU begins executing code being clocked by the
HFINTOSC multiplexer. The IDLEN and SCS bits are
not affected by the wake-up. The LFINTOSC source
will continue to run if either the WDT or the Fail-Safe
Clock Monitor is enabled.
3.5 Exiting Idle and Sleep Modes
An exit from Sleep mode or any of the Idle modes is
triggered by any one of the following:
an interrupt
•a Reset
a watchdog time-ou t
This section discusses the triggers that cause exits
from power-managed modes. The clocking subsystem
actions are discussed in each of the power-managed
modes (see Section 3.2 “Run Modes”, Section 3.3
“Sle ep Modeand Section 3.4 “Idle Modes”).
3.5. 1 EXIT BY INTERRUPT
Any of the available interrupt sources can cause the
device to exit from an Idle mode or the Sleep mode to
a Run mode. To enable this functionality, an interrupt
source m us t be en abl ed by s etti ng its enabl e bi t in on e
of the INTCON or PIE registers. The PEI E bIt must also
be set If the desired in terru pt e nab le bit is in a PIE re g-
ister. The exit sequence is initiated when the corre-
sponding interrupt flag bit is set.
The instruction immediately following the SLEEP
instruc tion is exec uted on all exit s by interrupt from Idle
or Sleep modes. Code execution then branches to the
interrupt v ector i f the GIE/ GIEH bit o f the INTCON re g-
ister is set, otherwise code execution continues without
branching (see Sec tion 9.0 “Interrupts”).
A fixed delay of interval TCSD fo l lo w i ng the w ak e ev en t
is required when leaving Sleep and Idle modes. This
del ay is required for the CPU to prepare for execution.
Instruction execution resumes on the first clock cycle
following this delay.
3.5.2 EXIT BY WDT TIME-OUT
A WDT time-out will cause different actions depending
on which power-managed mode the device is in when
the time-out occurs.
If th e dev ice i s not ex ecut ing code (all Idle mo des a nd
Sleep mod e), th e time-o ut wi ll res ul t in an ex it fro m the
power-managed mode (see Section 3.2 “Run
Modes” a nd Section 3.3 “Sleep Mode”). If the device
is executing code (all Run modes), the time-out will
result in a WDT Reset (see Section 23.2 “Watchdog
Timer (WDT)”).
The WDT timer and postscaler are cleared by any one
of the fo llowing:
executin g a SLEEP instruction
executin g a CLRWDT instruction
the loss of the currently selected clock source
when the Fail-Safe Clock Monitor is enabled
modifying the IRCF bits in the OSCCON register
when the internal oscillator block is the device
clock source
3.5. 3 EXIT BY RESET
Exiting Sleep and Idle modes by Reset causes code
execution to restart at address 0. See Section 4.0
“Reset” for more details.
The exit delay time from Reset to the start of code
execution depends on both the clock sources before
and after the wake-up and the type of oscillator. Exit
delays are summarized in Table 3-3.
2010 Microchip Technology Inc. DS41303G-page 49
PIC18F2XK20/4XK20
3.5.4 EXIT WITHOUT AN OSCILLATOR
START-UP DELAY
Certain exits from power-managed modes do not
invoke the OST at all. There are two cases:
PRI_IDLE mode, where the primary clock source
is not stopped and
the primary clock source is not any of the LP, XT,
HS or HSPLL modes.
In these instances, the primary clock source either
does not require an oscillator start-up delay since it is
already running (PRI_IDLE), or normally does not
require an oscillator start-up delay (RC, EC, INTOSC,
and INTOSCIO modes). However, a fixed delay of
interval TCSD following the wake event is still required
when leaving Sleep and Idle modes to allow the CPU
to pr epare for execution. Instruction execution resumes
on the first clock cycle following this delay.

4.1 RCON Register
Device Reset events are tracked through the RCON
register (Register 4-1). The lower five bits of the regis-
ter indic ate that a spec ific Reset event has oc curred. In
most ca ses, these b its can o nly be clear ed by the e vent
and must be set by the appli ca tio n after the eve nt. Th e
state of these flag bits, taken together, can be read to
indicate the type of Reset that just occurred. This is
described in more detail in Section 4.6 “Reset State
of Registers”.
The RCON register also has control bits for setting
interrupt priority (IPEN) and software control of the
BOR (SBOREN). Interrupt priority is discussed in
Section 9.0 “Interrupts”. BOR is covered in
Section 4.4 “Brown-out Reset (BOR)”.

PIC18F2XK20/4XK20
4.2 Master Clear (MCLR)
The MCLR pin provides a method for triggering an
external Reset of the device. A Reset is generated by
hold ing the pin low . T hese devi ces have a noise fi lter in
the MCLR Reset path which detects and ignores small
pulses.
The MCLR pin i s not driven l ow b y any i nter nal Res ets ,
including the WDT.
In PIC18F2XK20/4XK20 devices, the MCLR input can
be disabled with the MCLRE Configuration bit. When
MCLR is disabled, the pin be comes a digit al in put. See
Section 10.6 “PORTE, TRISE and LATE Registers”
for more information.
4.3 Power-on Reset (POR)
A Power-on Reset pulse is generated on-chip
whenever VDD rises above a certain threshold. This
allows the device to start in the initialized state when
VDD is adequate for operation.
To take advantage of the POR circuitry, tie the MCLR
pin th rou gh a res ist or to V DD. This will eliminate exter-
nal RC components usually needed to create a
Power-on Reset delay. A minimum rise rate for VDD is
specified (parameter D004). For a slow rise time, see
Figure 4-2.
When the device start s normal operation (i.e ., ex its the
Reset condition), device operating parameters (volt-
age, frequency, temperature, etc.) must be met to
ensure proper operation. If these conditions are not
met, the device must be held in Reset until the operat-
ing conditions are met.
POR events are captured by the POR bit of the RCON
register. The state of the bit is set to ‘0’ whenever a
POR occurs; it does not change for any other Reset
event. POR is not reset to ‘1’ by any hardware event.
To capture m ultiple even t s, the user mus t ma nu all y s et
the bit to ‘1’ by software following any POR.
FIGURE 4-2: EXTERNAL POWER-ON
RESET CIRCUIT (FOR
SLOW VDD POWER-UP)
Note 1: External Power-on Reset circuit is required
only if the VDD power-up slope is too slow.
The diode D helps discharge the capacitor
quickly when VDD powers down.
2: 15 k < R < 40 k is recommended to make
sure that the voltage drop ac ross R does not
violate the device’s electrical specification.
3: R1 1 k will limit any current flowing into
MCLR from external capacitor C, i n the event
of MCLR/VPP pin breakdown, due to
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) or Electrical
Overstress (EOS).

4.4 Brown-out Reset (BOR)
PIC18F2XK20/4XK20 devices implement a BOR circuit
that provides the user with a numb er of co nfigurati on and
power-saving options. The BOR is controlled by the
BORV<1:0> and BOREN<1:0> bits of the CONFIG2L
Configuration register. There are a total of four BOR
confi gu r at io ns w h ic h are s um m ari ze d in Table 4-1.
The BOR threshold is set by the BORV<1:0> bits. If
BOR is enabled (any values of BOREN<1:0>, except
00’), any drop of VDD below VBOR (parameter D005)
for greater than TBOR (parameter 35) will reset the
device. A Reset may or may not occur if VDD falls below
VBOR for less than TBOR. The chip will remain in
Brown-out Reset until VDD rises above VBOR.
If the Powe r-up Ti mer is enabled , it will be invoke d after
VDD rises above VBOR; it then will keep the chip in
Reset for an additional time delay, TPWRT
(parameter 33). If VDD drops below VBOR while the
Power-up Timer is running, the chip will go back into a
Brown-out Reset and the Power-up Timer will be
initialized. Once VDD rises above VBOR, the Power-up
Timer will execute the additional time delay.
BOR and the Power-on Timer (PWRT) are
independently configured. Enabling BOR Reset does
not automatically enable the PW RT.
The BOR ci rcui t h as an output th at fee ds into the POR
circuit and r earms the POR within th e operating range
of the BOR. This early rearming of the POR ensures
that the device will remain in Reset in the event that VDD
falls below the operating range of the BOR circuitry.
4.4.1 DETECTING BOR
When BO R is enab led, the BO R bi t alway s re set s to 0
on any BOR or POR event. This makes it difficult to
deter mi ne if a BOR ev ent ha s occ urred just by readin g
the state of BOR alone. A more reliable method is to
simultaneously check the state of both POR and BOR.
This assumes that the POR and BOR bits are reset to
1’ by software immediately after any POR event. If
BOR is ‘0’ wh il e POR is ‘1’, it can be reliably assumed
that a BOR event has occurred.
4.4.2 SOFTWARE ENABLED BOR
When BOREN<1:0> = 01, the BOR can be enabled or
disabled by the user in software. This is done with the
SBOREN control bit of the RCON register. Setting
SBOREN enables the BOR to function as previously
described. Clearing SBOREN disables the BOR
entirely. The SBOREN bit operates only in this mode;
otherwise it is read as ‘0’.
Placing the BOR under software control gives the user
the additional flexibility of tailoring the application to its
environment without having to reprogram the device to
change BOR configuration. It also allows the user to
tailor device power consumption in software by
eliminating the incremental current that the BOR
consumes. While the BOR current is typically very small,
it may have some im p act in low -pow er applic ations.
4.4.3 DISABLING BOR IN SLEEP MODE
When BOREN<1:0> = 10, the BOR remains under
hardware control and operates as previously
described. Whenever the device enters Sleep mode,
howev er, the BOR is automati ca lly dis abl ed . When the
device returns to any other operating mode, BOR is
automatically re-enabled.
This mode allows for applications to recover from
brown-out situations, while actively executing code,
when the device requires BOR protection the most. At
the same time, it save s additional po wer in Sleep mode
by eliminating the small incremental BOR current.
4.4.4 MINIMUM BOR ENABLE TIME
Enabling the BOR also enables the Fixed Voltage
Reference (FVR) when no other peripheral requiring the
FVR is acti ve. The BOR be comes active only afte r the
FVR stabilizes. Therefore, to ensure BOR protection,
the FVR settling time must be considered when
enabling the BOR in software or when the BOR is
automatically enabled after waking from Sleep. If the
BOR is disabled, in software or by reentering Sleep
before the FVR stabilizes, the BOR circuit will not sense
a BOR condition. The FVRST bit of the CVRCON2
register can be used to determine FVR stability.
TABLE 4-1: BOR CONFIGURATIONS
Note: Even when BOR is u nder softw are control,
the BOR Reset voltage level is still set by
the BORV<1:0> Configuration bits. It
cannot be changed by software.

PIC18F2XK20/4XK20
4.5 Device Reset Timers
PIC18F2XK20/4XK20 devices incorporate three
separate on-chip timers that help regulate the
Power-on Reset process. Their main function is to
ensure that the device clock is stable before code is
execut ed. The se timers are:
Power-up Ti mer (PWRT)
Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST)
PLL Lock Time-out
4.5.1 POWER-UP TIMER (PWRT)
The Power-up Timer (PWRT) of
PIC18F2XK20/4XK20 devices is an 11-bit counter
which uses the LFINTOSC source as the clock input.
This yields an approximate time interval of
2048 x 32 s = 65.6 ms. While the PWRT is counting,
the device is held in Reset.
The power-up time delay depends on the LFINTOSC
clock and will vary from chip-to-chip due to temperatu re
and process variation. See DC parameter 33 for
details.
The PWRT is enabled by clearing the PWRTEN
Configuration bit.
4.5.2 OSCIL LA TOR START-UP TIMER
(OST)
The Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) provides a 1024
oscillator cycle (from OSC1 input) delay after the
PWRT del ay is ov er (par a me t er 3 3 ). T h is en su re s t ha t
the crystal oscillator or resonator has started and
stabilized.
The OST time-out is invoked only for XT, LP, HS and
HSPLL modes and only on Power-on Reset, or on exit
from al l power- managed mo des that stop the ex ternal
oscillator.
4.5.3 PLL LOCK TIME-OUT
With the PLL enabled in its PLL mode, the time-out
sequence following a Power-on Reset is slightly
different from other oscillator modes. A separate timer
is used to provide a fixed time-out that is sufficient for
the PLL to lock to the main oscillator frequency. This
PLL lock time-out (TPLL) is typically 2 ms and follows
the oscillator start-up time-out.
4.5.4 TIME-OUT SEQUENCE
On power-up, the time-out sequence is as follows:
1. After the POR pu lse has cleared, PWRT time-out
is invoked (if en abled).
2. Then, the OST is activated.
The total time-out will vary based on oscillator
configuration and the status of the PWRT. Figure 4-3,
Figure 4-4, Figure 4-5, Figure 4-6 and Figure 4-7 all
depict time-out sequences on power-up, with the
Power-up Timer enabled and the device operating in
HS Oscillator mode. Figures 4-3 through 4-6 also
apply to devices operating in XT or LP modes. For
devices in RC mode and with the PWRT disabled, on
the other hand, there will be no time-out at all.
Since the time-outs occur from the PO R pulse, if MCLR
is k ept l ow lo ng en ough, all time- outs wi ll ex pire , afte r
which, bringing MCLR high will allow program
execution to begin immediately (Figure 4-5). This is
useful for testing purpo ses or to synchroniz e more than
one PIC18FXXK20 device operating in parallel.

4.6 Reset State of Registers
Some registers are unaffected by a Reset. Their status
is unknown on POR and unchanged by all other
Resets. All othe r reg is ters are forc ed to a “Res et s t a te”
depending on the type of Reset that occurred.
Most registers are not affected by a WDT wake-up,
since this is viewed as the resumption of normal
operation. Status bits from the RCON register, RI, TO,
PD, POR and BOR, are set or cleared differently in
different Reset situations, as indicated in Table 4-3.
These bits are used by software to determine the
nature of the Reset.
Table 4-4 describes the Reset states for all of the
Special Function Registers. These are categorized by
Power-on and Brown-out Resets, Master Clear and
WDT Resets and WDT wake-ups.

PIC18F2XK20/4XK20
5.0 MEMORY ORGANIZATION
There are three types of memory in PIC18 Enhanced
microcontroller devices:
Program Memory
Data RAM
Data EEPROM
As Harvard arc hitecture devices, the da ta and progra m
memories use separate busses; this allows for concur-
rent access of the two memory spaces. The data
EEPROM, for practical purposes, can be regarded as
a peripheral device, since it is ad dressed and accessed
through a set of control registers.
Additional detailed information on the operation of the
Flash program memory is provided in Section 6.0
“Flash Program Memory”. Data EEPROM is
discussed separately in Section 7.0 “Data EEPROM
Memory.
5.1 Program Memory Organization
PIC18 microcontrollers implement a 21-bit program
counter, which is capable of addressing a 2-Mbyte
progra m memory sp ace. Acces sing a lo cation b etween
the upper boundary of the physically implemented
memory and the 2-Mbyte address will return all ‘0’s (a
NOP instr ucti on).
This family of devices contain the following:
PIC18F23K20, PIC18F43K20: 8 Kbytes of Flash
Memory, up to 4,096 single-word instructions
PIC18F24K20, PIC18F44K20: 16 Kbytes of Flash
Memory, up to 8,192 single-word instructions
PIC18F25K20, PIC18F45K20: 32 Kbytes of Flash
Memory, up to 16,384 single-word instructions
PIC18F26K20, PIC18F46K20: 64 Kbytes of Flash
Memory, up to 37,768 single-word instructions
PIC18 devices have two interrupt vectors. The Reset
vector address is at 0000h and the interrupt vector
addresses are at 0008h and 0018h.
The program memory map for PIC18F2XK20/4XK20
devices is shown in Figure 5-1. Memory block details
are shown in Figure 23-2.

5.1.1 PROGRAM COUNTER
The Progra m Counter (PC) s pecifies the address of the
instruction to fetch for execution. The PC is 21 bit s wide
and is contained in three separate 8-bit registers. The
low byte, known as the PCL register, is both readable
and wr itable. Th e high byt e, or PCH regi ster, con tains
the PC<1 5:8> bits; it is not directly re adable or writ able.
Update s to the PCH register are performe d through the
PCLATH register. The upper byte is called PCU. This
register contains the PC<20:16> bits; it is also not
directly readable or writable. Updates to the PCU
register are performed through the PCLATU register.
The contents of PCLATH and PCLATU are transferred
to the program counter by any operation that writes
PCL. Similarly, the upper two bytes of the program
counter are tran sferred to PCL ATH and PCLATU by an
operation that reads PCL. This is useful for computed
offsets to the PC (see Section 5.1.4.1 “Computed
GOTO”).
The PC addresses bytes in the program memory. To
prevent the PC from becoming misaligned with word
instructions, the Least Significant bit of PCL is fixed to
a value of0’. The PC increments by 2 to address
sequential instructions in the program memory.
The CALL, RCALL, GOTO and program branch
instructions write to the program counter directly. For
these instructions, the contents of PCLATH and
PCLATU are not transferred to the program counter.
5.1.2 RETURN ADDRESS STACK
The return address s t ac k al low s any comb in ation of up
to 31 program calls and interrupts to occur. The PC is
pushed onto the stack when a CALL or RCALL
instruction is executed or an interrupt is Acknowledge d.
The PC value is pulled off the stack on a RETURN,
RETLW or a RETFIE instruct ion. PCLATU and PCLATH
are not affected by any of the RETURN or CALL
instructions.
The stack operates as a 31-word by 21-bit RAM and a
5-bit Stack Pointer, STKPTR. The stack space is not
part of either program or data sp ace. The Stack Point er
is readable and writable and the address on the top of
the stack is readable and writable through the Top-of-
Stack (TOS) Special File Registers. Data can also be
pushed to, or popped from the stack, using these
registers.
A CALL ty pe inst ruct ion cause s a pus h onto t he stac k;
the Stack Pointer is first incremented and the location
pointed to by the Stack Pointer is written with the
contents of the PC (already pointing to the instruction
following the CALL). A RETURN type instruction causes
a pop from the stack; the contents of the location
pointed to by the STKPTR are transferred to the PC
and then the Stack Pointer is decremented.
The Stack Pointer is initialized to ‘00000’ after all
Resets. There is no RAM associated with the location
corresponding to a Stack Pointer value of00000’; this
is only a R eset v alue. Status bits in dic ate if th e s tack is
full or has overflowed or has underflowed.
5.1.2.1 Top-of-Stack Access
Only the top of the return address stack (TOS) is readable
and writable. A set of three registers, TOSU:TOSH:TOSL,
hold the contents of the stack location pointed to by the
STKPTR register (Figure 5-2). This allows users to
implement a software stack if necessary. After a CALL,
RCALL or interrupt, the software can read the pushed
value by reading the TOSU:TOSH:TOSL registers. These
values can be placed on a user defined software stack. At
return time, the software can return these values to
TOSU:TOSH:TOSL and do a return.
The user must disable the global interrupt enable bits
while accessing the stack to prevent inadvertent stack
corruption.

5.1.2.2 Return Stack Pointer (STKPTR)
The STKPTR re gister (Register 5-1) cont ains the S tack
Pointer value, the STKFUL (stack full) Status bit and
the STKU NF (stack und erflow) S ta tus bits. Th e value of
the Stack Pointer can be 0 through 31. The Stack
Pointer increments before values are pushed onto the
stack and decrements after values are popped off the
stack. On Reset, the Stack Pointer value will be zero.
The user may read and write the Stack Pointer value.
This feature can be used by a Real-Time Operating
System (RTOS) for return stack maintenance.
Aft er the PC is pu shed ont o the st a ck 31 ti mes (w itho ut
popping any values off the stack), the STKFUL bit is
set. The STKFUL bit is cleared by software or by a
POR.
The action that takes place when the stack becomes
full depends on the state of the STVREN (Stack Over-
flow Reset Enable) Configuration bit. (Refer to
Section 23.1 “Configuration Bit s” for a desc ription of
the device Configuration bits.) If STVREN is set
(default), the 31st push will push the (PC + 2) value
onto the stack, set the STKFUL bit and reset the
device. The STKFUL bit will remain set and the Stack
Pointer will be set to zero.
If STVREN is clea red, the STKFUL bi t will be se t on the
31st push and the Stack Pointer will increment to 31.
Any additional pushes will not overwrite the 31st push
and STKPTR will remain at 31.
When the stack has been popped enough times to
unload th e stack, the ne xt pop will return a value of zero
to the PC and sets the STKUNF bit, while the Stack
Pointer remains at zero. The STKUNF bit will remain
set until cleared by software or until a POR occurs.
5.1.2.3 PUSH and POP Instructions
Since the Top-of-Stack is readable and writable, the
ability to pus h values onto the st ac k and pull value s off
the stack without disturbing normal program execution
is a desirable feature. The PIC18 instruction set
includes two instructions, PUSH and POP, that permit
the TOS to be manipulated under software control.
TOSU , T OSH and T OS L can be m odifie d to plac e dat a
or a return address on the stack.
The PUSH instruction places the current PC value onto
the stack. This increments the Stack Pointer and loads
the current PC value onto the stack.
The POP instruction discards the current TOS by decre-
menting the Stack Pointer. The previous value pushed
onto the stack then becomes the TOS value.
Note: Returning a value of zero to the PC on an
underflow has the effect of vectoring the
program to the Reset vector, where the
stack conditions can be verified and
appropriate actions can be taken. This is
not the same as a Reset, as the contents
of the SFRs are not affected.

5.1.2.4 Stack Full and Underflow Resets
Device Resets on stack overflow and stack underflow
conditions are enabled by setting the STVREN bit in
Config ura tion Regi ster 4L. When STVREN i s set, a full
or underflow will set the appropriate STKFUL or
STKUNF bit and then cause a device Reset. When
STVREN is cleared, a full or underflow condition will set
the appropriate STKFUL or STKUNF bit but not cause
a device Reset. The STKFUL or STKUNF bits are
cleared by the user software or a Power-on Reset.
5.1.3 FAST REGISTER STACK
A fast register stack is provided for the Status, WREG
and BSR registers, to provide a “fast return” option for
interrupts. The stack for each register is only one level
deep and is neither readable nor writable. It is loaded
with the current value of the corresponding register
when the processor vectors for an interrupt. All inter-
rupt sources will push values into the stack registers.
The values in the registers are then loaded back into
their associated registers if the RETFIE, FAST
instruction is used to return from the interrupt.
If both low and high priority interrupts are enabled, the
stack registers cannot be used reliably to return from
low priority interrupts. If a high priority interrupt occurs
while servicing a low priority interrupt, the stack register
values stored by the low priority interrupt will be
overwritten. In these cases, users must save the key
registers by software during a low priority interrupt.
If interrupt pri ority is not used, all interrupts ma y use the
fast register stack for returns from interrupt. If no
inter rupts are use d, the fast regis t e r st ac k c an be use d
to restore the Status, WREG and BSR registers at the
end of a subroutine call. To use the fast register stack
for a subroutine call, a CALL label,FAST instr ucti on
must be executed to save the Status, WREG and BSR
registers to the fast register stack. A RETURN,FAST
instruction is then executed to restore these registers
from the fast register stack.
Example 5-1 shows a source code example that uses
the fast register stack during a subroutine call and
return.

CODE EXAMPLE
5.1.4 LOOK-UP TABLES IN PROGRAM
MEMORY
There may be programming situations that require the
creation of data structures, or look-up tables, in
program memory. For PIC18 devices, look-up tables
can be implemente d in two ways:
Computed GOTO
Table Reads
5.1.4.1 Computed GOTO
A comput ed GOTO i s a cco mplished by a ddi ng an offs et
to the program counter. An example is shown in
Example 5-2.
A look-up table can be formed with an ADDWF PCL
instruction and a group of RETLW nn instructions. The
W register is loa ded with an offset int o the ta ble befo re
executi ng a c al l to tha t t a ble. The first ins tru cti on of the
called routine is the ADDWF PCL instruction. The next
instruction executed will be one of the RETLW nn
instructions that returns the value ‘nn’ to the calling
function.
The offset value (in WREG) specifies the number of
bytes that the program counter should advance and
should be mu ltiples of 2 (LSb = 0).
In this method, only one data byte may be stored in
each instruction location and room on the return
address stack is required.
EXAMPLE 5-2: COMPUTED GOTO USING
AN OFFSET VALUE
5.1.4.2 Table Reads and Table Writes
A better method of storing data in program memory
allow s two bytes of dat a to be stored in each instruc tion
location.
Look-up table data may be stored two bytes per pro-
gram word by using table reads and writes. The Table
Pointer (TBLPTR) register specifies the byte address
and the Table Latch (TABLAT) register contains the
data that is read from or written to program memory.
Data is transferred to or from program memory one
byte at a time.
Table read and table write operations are discussed
further in Section 6.1 “Table Reads and Table
Writes”.

5.2 PIC18 Instruction Cycle
5.2.1 CLOCKING SCHEME
The microcontroller clock input, whether from an
internal or external source, is internally divided by four
to generate four non-overlapping quadrature clocks
(Q1, Q2, Q3 and Q4). Interna lly, the pro gram counter i s
incremented on every Q1; the instruction is fetched
from the program memory and latched into the
instruction register during Q4. The instruction is
decode d and exec uted during the follow ing Q1 th rough
Q4. The clocks and instruction execution flow are
shown in Figure 5-3.
5.2.2 INSTRUCTION FLOW/PIPELINING
An “Instruction Cycle” consists of four Q cycles: Q1
through Q4. The instruction fetch and execute are
pipelined in such a manner that a fetch takes one
instruction cycle, while the decode and execute take
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 5-3).
A fetch cycle begins with the Program Counter (PC)
incrementing in Q1.
In the ex ecution cycle , the fetched instruction i s latched
into the Instruction Register (IR) in cycle Q1. This
instruction is then decoded and executed during the
Q2, Q 3 and Q4 cycle s. Dat a memory is re ad dur ing Q 2
(operand read) and written during Q4 (destination
write).

5.2.3 INSTRUCTIONS IN PROGRAM
MEMORY
The program memory is addressed in bytes.
Instr uctions are stored as ei ther two byt es or four byte s
in program memory. The Least Significant Byte of an
instruc tion wo rd is alway s stored in a program me mory
location with an even address (LSb = 0). To maintain
alignment with instruction boundaries, the PC
increments in steps of 2 and the LSb will always read
0’ (see Section 5.1.1 “Program Counter”).
Figure 5-4 shows an ex am ple of h ow instruction w ord s
are stored in the program memory.
The CALL and GOTO instructions have the absolute
program memory address embedded into the
instruction. Since instructions are always stored on word
boundaries, the data contained in the instruction is a
word address. The word address is written to PC<20:1>,
which accesses the desired byte address in program
memory. Instruction #2 in Figure 5-4 shows how the
instruction GOTO 0006h is encoded in the program
memory. Program branch instructions, which encode a
relative address offset, operate in the same ma nner. The
of fset value stored in a branch instruction represent s the
number of single-word instructions that the PC will be
offset by. Section 24.0 “Instruction Set Summary”
provides further details of the instruction s et.
FIGURE 5-4: INST RUCTIONS IN PROGRAM MEMORY
5.2.4 TWO-WORD INSTRUCTIONS
The standard PIC18 instruction set has four two-word
instructions: CALL, MOVFF, GOTO and LSFR. In all
cases, the second word of the instruction always has
1111’ as its four M ost Si gnifican t bit s; the ot her 12 bit s
are literal data, usually a data memory address.
The use of1111’ in the 4 MSbs of an instruction
specifies a special form of NOP. If the instruction is
executed in proper sequence – immediately after the
first word – the data in the second word is accessed
and used by the instruction sequence. If the first word
is skipped for some reason and the second word is
executed by itself, a NOP is executed instead. This is
necessary for cases when the two-word instruction is
prec ed ed by a co nd i tio na l in str u ct ion t h at c h an ge s the
PC. Example 5-4 shows how thi s works.

PIC18F2XK20/4XK20
5.3 Data Memory Organiz ation
The data memory in PIC18 dev ices is implemented as
static RAM. Each register in the data memory has a
12-bit address, allowing up to 4096 bytes of data
memory. The memory sp ace is div ided into as many as
16 banks that contain 256 bytes each. Figures 5-5
through 5 -7 show th e data m emory organi zation for th e
PIC18F2XK20/4XK20 devices.
The data memory contains Special Function Registers
(SFRs) and General Purpose Registers (GPRs). The
SFRs are used for control and status of the controller
and per ipheral functio ns, while GP Rs are used for dat a
storage and scratchpad operations in the user’s
applic ation. Any read of an unim plemente d locat ion will
read as ‘0’s.
The instruction set and architecture allow operations
across all banks. The entire data memory may be
accessed by Direct, Indirect or Indexed Addressing
modes. Addressing modes are discussed later in this
subsection.
To ensure that commonly used registers (SFRs and
select GP Rs) c an b e ac cess ed i n a singl e cycle, PI C18
devices impl em ent an Ac ce ss Bank. This i s a 256 -by te
memor y space that provid es fa st acc ess to SFRs and
the lower portion of GPR Bank 0 withou t using the Bank
Select Register (BSR). Section 5.3.2 “Access Bank”
provides a detailed description of the Access RAM.
5.3. 1 BANK S ELECT REGISTER (BSR)
Large areas of data memory require an efficient
addressing scheme to make rapid access to any
address possible. Ideally, this means that an entire
address doe s no t need to be provi ded for each read or
write operation. For PIC18 devices, this is accom-
plished with a RAM banking scheme. This divides the
memory space into 16 contiguous banks of 256 bytes.
Depending on the instruction, each location can be
addressed directly by its full 12-bit address, or an 8-bit
low-order address and a 4-bit Bank Pointer.
Most in struct ions in th e PIC18 instru ction se t make us e
of the Ban k Pointer , known as the Ba nk Select Reg ister
(BSR). This SFR holds the 4 Most Significant bits of a
location’s address; the instruction itself includes the
8 Least Significant bits. Only the four lower bits of the
BSR are implem ented (BSR<3:0 >). The upper fou r bits
are unused; they will always read ‘0’ and cannot be
written to. T he BSR can be l oaded direct ly by using the
MOVLB instruction.
The value of the BSR indicates the bank in data
memory; the 8 bits in the instruction show the location
in the b ank and ca n b e t hought of as an offset from th e
bank’s lower boundary. The relationship between the
BSR’s value and the bank division in data memory is
shown in Figures 5-5 through 5-7.
Since up to 16 regis ters m ay share the s ame l ow-order
address, the user must always be careful to ensure that
the proper bank is selected before performing a data
read or write. For example, writing what should be
progra m data to an 8 -bi t address of F 9h wh ile the BSR
is 0Fh will end up resetting the program counter.
While any bank can be s el ec t ed, onl y th os e ba nk s that
are actually implemented can be read or written to.
Writes to unimplemented banks are ignored, while
reads from unimplemented banks will return0’s. Even
so, the STATUS register will still be affected as if the
operation was successful. The data memory maps in
Figures 5-5 through 5-7 indicate which banks are
implemented.
In the core PIC18 instruction set, only the MOVFF
instruction fully specifies the 12-bit address of the
source a nd target reg isters. This i nstruction ig nores the
BSR comple tely when it ex ecutes. All othe r instruction s
include only the low-order address as an operand and
must use either the BSR or the Access Bank to locate
their targ et regis te rs.
Note: The operation of some aspects of data
memory are changed when the PIC18
extended instruction set is enabled. See
Section 5.5 “Data Memory and the
Extended Instruction Set” for more
information.

5.3.2 ACCESS BANK
While the use of the BSR with an embedded 8-bit
address allows users to address the entire range of
data mem ory, it al so me ans th at t he user must alwa ys
ensure that the correct bank is selected. Otherwise,
data may be read from or written to the wrong location.
This can be disastrous if a GPR is the intended target
of an operation, but an SFR is written to instead.
Verifying and/or changing the BSR for each read or
write to data memory can become very inefficient.
To streamlin e access for the most com monly used da ta
memory locations, the data memory is configured with
an Access Bank, which allows users to access a
mapped block of memory without specifying a BSR.
The Acc ess Bank con sist s o f the f irst 96 byte s of mem-
ory (00h -5Fh) in Bank 0 and the last 160 byte s of mem-
ory (60h-FFh) in Block 15. The lower half is known as
the “Access RAM” and is composed of GPRs. This
upper half is also where the device’s SFRs are
mapped. These two areas are mapped contiguously in
the Access Bank and can be addressed in a linear
fashion by an 8-bit address (Figures 5-5 through 5-7).
The Access Bank is used by core PIC18 instructions
that include the Access RAM bit (the ‘a’ parameter in
the instruction). When ‘a’ is equal to ‘1’, t he inst ru ct i on
uses the BSR and the 8-bit address included in the
opcode for the data memory address. When ‘a’ is ‘0’,
however, the instruction is forced to use the Access
Bank address map; the current value of the BSR is
ignored entirely.
Using this “forced” addressing allows the instruction to
operate on a data address in a single cycle, without
updating the BSR first. For 8-bit addresses of 60h and
above, t his mean s that users can evaluate and opera te
on SFRs more efficiently. The Access RAM below 60h
is a goo d place for da ta values that the user might need
to access rapidly, such as immediate computational
results or common program variables. Access RAM
also allows for faster and more code efficient context
saving and switching of variables .
The mapping of the Access Bank is slightly different
when the extended instruction set is enabled (XINST
Configuration bit = 1). This is disc us sed in more deta il
in Section 5.5.3 “Mapping the Access Bank in
Indexed Literal Offset Mode”.
5.3.3 GENERAL PURPOSE REGISTER
FILE
PIC18 devices may have banked memory in the GPR
area. This is data RAM, which is available for use by all
instructions. GPRs start at the bottom of Bank 0
(address 000h) and grow upwards towards the bottom of
the SFR area. GPRs are not initialized by a Power-on
Reset and are unchanged on all other R eset s.
5.3.4 SPECIAL FUNCTION REGISTERS
The Special Function Registers (SFRs) are registers
used by the CPU and peripheral modules for controlling
the desire d operation of the device. These regist ers are
implemented as static RAM. SFRs start at the top of
data m emory (FFFh) and ext end do wnward to occu py
the top portion of Bank 15 (F60h to FFFh). A list of
these registers is given in Table 5-1 and Table 5-2.
The SFRs can be classified into two sets: those
associated with the “core” device functionality (ALU,
Resets and interrupts) and those related to the
peripheral functions. The Reset and interrupt registers
are described in their respective chapters, while the
ALU’s STATUS register is described later in this
section. Registers related to the operation of a
peripheral feature are described in the chapter for that
peripheral.
The SFRs are typically distributed among the
periphera ls w ho se functions they c ontrol. Unused SFR
locations are unimplemented and read as ‘0’s.

5.3.5 STATUS REGISTER
The STATUS register, shown in Register 5-2, contains
the arithmetic status of the ALU. As with any other SFR,
it can be the operand for any instruction.
If the STATUS register is the desti nati on for an ins tru c-
tion that affects the Z, DC, C, OV or N bits, the results
of the instruction are not written; instead, the STATUS
register is updated according to the instruction per-
formed. Therefore, the result of an instruction with the
STATUS register as its destination may be different
than intended. As an example, CLRF STATUS will set
the Z bit and leave the remaining Status bits
unchanged (‘000u u1uu’).
It is recommended that only BCF, BSF, SWAPF, MOVFF
and MOVWF instructions are used to alter the STATUS
register, becaus e thes e ins tructi ons d o not af fect t he Z,
C, DC, OV or N bits in the STATUS register.
For other i ns truc tions that do n ot a ffect Status bits, see
the instruction set summaries in Table 24-2 and
Table 24-3.
Note: The C and DC bits operate as the borrow
and digit borrow bits, respectively, in
subtraction.

5.4 Data Addressing Modes
While the program memory can be addressed in only
one way – through the program counter – information
in the da ta m emory sp ace can be addr ess ed in severa l
ways. For most instructions, the addressing mode is
fixed. Other instructions may use up to three modes,
dependi ng on whic h operands are us ed and whe ther or
not the extended instruction set is enabled.
The addressing modes are:
Inherent
Literal
•Direct
•Indirect
An additional addressing mode, Indexed Literal Offset,
is available when the extended instruction set is
enabled (XINST Configuration bit = 1). Its operation is
discussed in greater detail in Section 5.5.1 “Indexed
Addressing with Literal Offset”.
5.4.1 INHERENT AND LITERAL
ADDRESSING
Many PIC18 c ontrol in stru ctions do no t need any arg u-
ment at all; they either perform an operation that glob-
ally affects the device or they operate implicitly on one
register. This addressing mode is known as Inherent
Addressi ng. Examples include SLEEP, RESET and DAW.
Other instructions work in a similar way but require an
additional explicit argument in the opcode. This is
known as Literal Addressing mode because they
require some literal value as an argument. Examples
include ADDLW and MOVLW, which respectively, add or
move a literal value to the W register. Other examples
include CALL and GOTO, which include a 20-bit
program memory address.
5.4.2 DIRECT ADDRESSING
Direct addressing specifies all or part of the source
and/or destination address of the operation within the
opcode itself. The options are specified by the
arguments accompanying the instruction.
In the co re PIC1 8 inst ruction se t, bit-ori ented and by te-
oriented instructions use some version of direct
addressing by default. All of these instructions include
some 8-bit literal address as their Least Significant
Byte. This address specifies either a register address in
one o f the banks of d ata RAM ( Section 5.3.3 “General
Purpose Register File”) or a location in the Access
Bank (Section 5.3.2 “Access Bank”) as the data
source for the instruction.
The Acc ess RA M bit ‘a’ de term in es ho w the a ddre ss i s
interpreted. When ‘a’ is1’, the contents of the BSR
(Section 5.3.1 “Bank Select Register (BSR)”) are
used with the addres s to determ ine the com plete 12-b it
addr ess of t he regis ter. Wh en ‘a’ is 0’, the address is
interpreted as being a register in the Access Bank.
Addressing that uses the Access RAM is sometimes
also known as Direct Forced Addressing mode.
A few instructions, such as MOVFF, include the entire
12-bit address (either source or destination) in their
opcodes. In these cases, the BSR is ignored entirely.
The destin ation of the ope ration’ s result s is determine d
by the destination bit ‘d ’. When ‘d’ is ‘1’, the results are
stor ed ba ck in th e s o ur c e re g is ter, overw rit i n g i ts or i gi-
nal contents. When ‘d’ is ‘0, the results are stored in
the W register. Instructions without the ‘d’ argument
have a dest ination that is implic it in the inst ruction; their
destination is either the target register being operated
on or the W register.
5.4.3 INDIRECT ADDRESSING
Indirect addressing a llows the use r to access a location
in data memory without giving a fixed address in the
instruction. This is done by using File Select Registers
(FSRs) as pointers to the location s which are to be read
or written. Since the FSRs are themselves located in
RAM as Special File Registers, they can also be
directly manipulated under program control. This
makes FSRs very useful in implementing data struc-
tures, such as tables and arrays in data memory.
The registers for indirect addressing are also
implemented with Indirect File Operands (INDFs) that
permit aut omati c mani pulati on of the poi nter val ue wi th
auto-incrementing, auto-decrementing or offsetting
with a not her value. This allo ws for efficient co de, using
loops, such as the example of clearing an entire RAM
bank in Example 5-5.

5.4.3.1 FSR Regi st er s and the INDF
Operand
At the core of indire ct addressi ng a re t hree se ts of reg-
isters: FSR0, FSR1 and FSR2. Each represents a pair
of 8-bit registers, FSRnH and FSRnL. Each FSR pair
holds a 12-bit value, therefore the four upper bits of the
FSRnH register are not used. The 12-bit FSR value can
address the entire range o f t he dat a m emory i n a l inear
fashion. The FSR register pairs, then, serve as pointers
to data memory locations.
Indirect addressing is accomplished with a set of
Indirect File Operands, INDF0 through INDF2. These
can be thought of as “virtual” registers: they are
mapped in the SFR space but are not physically
implemented. Reading or writing to a particular INDF
register actually accesses its corresponding FSR
register pair. A read from INDF1, for example, reads
the data at the address indicated by FSR1H:FSR1L.
Instructions that use the INDF registers as operands
actually use the contents of their corresponding FSR as
a pointer to the instruction’s target. The INDF operand
is ju st a convenien t way of using the pointer.
Because indi rect ad dre ssing us es a full 1 2-bit a ddress ,
data RAM banking is not necessary. Thus, the current
contents of the BSR and the Access RAM bit have no
effect on determining the target address.
5.4.3.2 FSR Regi s ters and PO STINC,
POSTDEC, PREINC and PLUSW
In additi on to the INDF o perand, each F SR register p air
also has four additional indirect operands. Like INDF,
these are “virtual” registers which cannot be directly
read or written. Accessing these registers actually
accesses the location to which the associated FSR
register pair poin ts, and al so performs a specific ac tio n
on the FSR value. They are:
POSTDEC: accesses the location to which the
FSR point s , then auto ma tic al ly dec rem en t s the
FSR by 1 afterwa r ds
POSTINC: acc es se s the loc ati on to which the
FSR point s , then auto ma tic al ly inc rem en ts the
FSR by 1 afterwa r ds
PREINC: auto ma tic al ly inc r em en t s the FSR by 1,
then uses the location to which the FSR points in
the operation
PLUSW: adds the signed value of the W register
(range o f -127 to 128) t o that of th e FSR and uses
the location to which the result points in the
operation.
In this context, accessing an INDF register uses the
value in the associated FSR register without changing
it. Similarly, accessing a PLUSW register gives the
FSR value an offs et by that in the W re gis ter; howeve r,
neither W nor the FSR is actually changed in the
operation. Accessing the other virtual registers
changes the value of the FSR register.

PIC18F2XK20/4XK20
Operations on the FSRs with POSTDEC, POSTINC
and PREINC affect the entire register pair; that is, roll-
overs of the FSR nL registe r from FFh to 00h carry over
to the FSRnH register. On the other hand, results of
these operations do not change the value of any flags
in the STATUS register (e.g., Z, N, OV, etc.).
The PLUSW register can be used to implement a form
of indexed addressing in the data memory space. By
manipulating the value in the W register, users can
reach addresses that are fixed offsets from pointer
addresses. In some applications, this can be used to
implement some powerful program control structure,
such as software stacks, inside of data memory.
5.4.3.3 Operations by FSRs on FSRs
Indirect addressing operations that target other FSRs
or virtual registers represent special cases. For
example, using an FSR to point to one of the virtual
registers will not result in successful operations. As a
specific case, assume that FSR0H:FSR0L contains
FE7h, the address of INDF1. Attempts to read the
value of the INDF1 using INDF0 as an operand will
return 00h. Attempts to write to INDF1 using INDF0 as
the operand will result in a NOP.
On the other hand, u sing the virtu al reg isters to wr ite to
an F SR p air may n ot oc cur as plan ned. I n t hese cases ,
the val ue will be w ritten to the FSR p air bu t withou t any
incrementing or decrementing. Thus, writing to either
the INDF2 or POSTDEC2 register will write the same
value to the FSR2H:FSR2L.
Since the FSRs are physical registers mapped in the
SFR space, they can be manipulated through all direct
operations. Users should proceed cautiously when
working on these registers, particularly if their code
uses indirect addressing.
Similarly , operations by indirect addressing are generally
permit ted on al l other SFRs. Use rs should exercise the
appropriate ca ution that they do no t inadverten tly change
settin gs that mi ght affec t the opera tion of th e device.
5.5 Data Memory and the Extended
Instruction Set
Enabling the PIC18 extended instruction set (XINST
Configuration bit = 1) significantly changes certain
aspects of data memory and its addressing. Specifi-
cally, the use of the Access Bank for many of the core
PIC18 instructions is different; this is due to the intro-
duct ion of a new addressing mode fo r the data memory
space.
What doe s not chan ge is ju st as im po rtant. The size of
the data memory space is unchanged, as well as its
linear addressing. The SFR map remains the same.
Core PIC18 instructions can still operate in both Direct
and Indirect Addressing mode; inherent and literal
instructions do not change at all. Indirect addressing
with FSR0 and FSR1 also remain unchanged.
5.5.1 INDEXED ADDRESSING WITH
LITERAL OFFSET
Enabling the PIC18 extended instruction set changes
the behavior of indirect addressing using the FSR2
register pair within Access RAM. Under the proper
conditi ons, instruct ions that use th e Access Ban k – that
is, most bit-oriented and byte-oriented instructions –
can invoke a form of indexed addressing using an
offset specified in the instruction. This special
address ing mod e is kn own as I ndexed Ad dressing with
Literal Offset, or Indexed Literal Offset mode.
When using the extended instruction set, this
addressing mode requires the following:
The use o f the Ac c ess Ban k i s fo rced (‘a ’ = 0) an d
The f ile ad dres s arg um ent is less th an o r e qua l to
5Fh.
Under these conditions, the file address of the
instruction is not interpreted as the lower byte of an
address (used with the BSR in direct addres sing), or as
an 8- bit address i n the Acc ess Bank. In stead, the value
is interpreted as an offset value to an Address Pointer,
specified by FSR2. The offset and the contents of
FSR2 are added to obtain the target address of the
operation.
5.5.2 INSTRUCTIONS AFFECTED BY
INDEXED LITERAL OFFSET MODE
Any of the core PIC18 instructions that can use direct
addressing are potentially affected by the Indexed
Literal Offset Addressing mode. This includes all
byte-oriented and bit-oriented instructions, or almost
one-half of the standard PIC18 instruction set.
Instruct ions that only use Inherent or Literal Addressing
modes are una ffected.
Additionally, byte-oriented and bit-oriented instructions
are not affected if they do not use the Access Bank
(Access RAM bit is ‘1’), or inc lud e a fi le ad dres s of 60h
or above. Instructions meeting these criteria will
continue to execute as before. A comparison of the
different possible addressing modes when the
extended instruction set is enabled is shown in
Figure 5-11.
Those who desire to use byte-oriented or bit-oriented
instructions in the Indexed Literal Offset mode should
note the changes to assembler syntax for this mode.
This is described in more detail in Section 24.2.1
“Extended Instruction Syntax”.

PIC18F2XK20/4XK20
6.0 FLASH PROGRAM MEMORY
The Flash program memory is readable, writable and
erasable during normal operation over the entire VDD
range.
A read from program memory is executed one byte at
a time. A write to program memory is executed on
blocks of 64, 32 or 16 byt es at a time, depend ing on the
specific device (See Table 6-1). Program memory is
erased in blocks of 64 bytes at a time. The difference
between the write and erase block sizes requires from
1 to 4 block writes to restore the contents of a single
block erase. A bulk erase operation cannot be issued
from user code.
TABLE 6-1: WRITE/ERASE BLOCK SIZES
Writing or erasing program memory will cease
instruction fetches until the operation is complete. The
program memory cannot be accessed during the write
or erase, therefore, code cannot execute. An internal
programming timer terminates program memory writes
and erases.
A value written to program memory does not need to be
a valid instruction. Executing a program memory
location that forms an invalid instruction results in a
NOP.
6.1 Table Reads and Table Writes
In order to read and write program memory, there are
two operations that allow the processor to move bytes
between the program memory space and the data RAM:
Table Read (TBLRD)
Table Write (TBLWT)
The program memory space is 16 bits wide, while the
data RAM space is 8 bits wide. Table reads and table
writes move data between these two memory spaces
through an 8-bit register (TABLAT).
The table read operation retrieves one byte of data
directly from program memory and places it into the
TABLAT register. Figure 6-1 shows the operation of a
tabl e read.
The table write operation stores one byte of data from the
TABLAT register into a write block holding register. The
procedure to write the contents of the holding registers
into program memory is detailed in Section 6.5 “W riting
to Flash Program Memory”. Figure 6-2 shows the
operation of a table write with program memory and data
RAM.
Table operations work with byte entities. Tables contain-
ing data, rather than program instructions, are not
required to be word aligned. Therefore, a table can st art
and end at any byte address. If a table write is being
used to write executable code into program memory,
program instructions will need to be word aligned.

6.2 Control Registers
Several control registers are used in conjunction with
the TBLRD and TBLWT instructions. These include the:
EECON1 register
EECON2 register
TABLAT register
TBLPTR registers
6.2.1 EECON1 AND EECON2 REGISTERS
The EECON1 register (Register 6-1) is the control
register for memory acce sses. The EECON2 register is
not a physical register; it is used exclusively in the
memory write and erase sequences. Reading
EECON2 will read all ‘0’s.
The EEPGD control bit determi nes if th e access will be
a program or data EEPROM memory access. When
EEPGD is clear, any subsequent operations will
operate on the data EEPROM memory. When EEPGD
is set, any subsequent operations will operate on the
program memory .
The CFGS control bit determines if the access will be
to the Co nfigur ation/Ca librati on regis ter s or to pro gram
memory/data EEPROM memory. When CFGS is set,
subsequent operations will operate on Configuration
registers regardless of EEPGD (see Section 23.0
“Special Features of the CPU”). When CFGS i s clear ,
memory selection access is determined by EEPGD.
The FREE bit allows the program memory erase oper-
ation. When FREE is set, a n erase opera tion is initi ated
on the next WR command. When FREE is clear, only
writes are enabled.
The WREN bit, when set, will allow a write operation.
The WREN bit is clear on power-up.
The WRERR bit is set by hardw are whe n the WR bit i s
set and cleared when the internal programming timer
expires and the write operation is complete.
The WR control bit initiates write operations. The WR
bit cannot be cleared, only set, by firmware. Then WR
bit is cleared b y hardw are at the complet ion of the write
operation.

mine where the write block will eventually be written. The process for writing the holding registers to the
program memory array is discussed in Section 6.5 “Writing to Flash Program Memory”.

Note: During normal operation, the WRERR is
read as ‘1’. This can indicate that a write
operation was prematurely terminated by
a Reset, or a write operation was
attempted improperly.
Note: The EEIF interrupt flag bit of the PIR2
register is set when the write is complete.
The EEIF flag stays set until cleared by
firmware.

6.2.2 TABLAT – TABLE LATCH REGISTER
The Table Latch (TABLAT) is an 8-bit register mapped
into the SFR sp ace. The Table Latch register is us ed to
hold 8-bit data during data transfers between program
memory and data RAM.
6.2.3 TBLPTR – TABLE POINTER
REGISTER
The Table Pointer (TBLPTR ) re gis ter add res se s a byte
within the progra m memo ry. The TBLPTR i s compr ised
of three SFR registers: Table Pointer Upper Byte,
Table Pointer High Byte and Table Pointer Low Byte
(TBLPTRU:TBLPTRH:TBLPTRL). These three regis-
ters join to form a 22-bit wide pointer. The low-order
21 bits allow the device to address up to 2 Mbytes of
progra m memory sp ace. Th e 22nd b it allow s acce ss to
the device ID, the user ID and the Configuration bits.
The Table Pointer register, TBLPTR, is used by the
TBLRD and TBLWT ins t ru cti ons . T hes e i ns truc tio ns ca n
update the TBLPTR in one of four ways based on the
table operation. These operations are shown in
Table 6-2. These opera tions on the TBLPT R affect only
the low-orde r 21 bits.
6.2.4 TAB LE POINTER BOUN DARI ES
TBLPTR is used in reads, writes and erases of the
Flash program memory.
When a TBLRD is ex ecut ed , al l 22 bits of th e T BLPT R
determine which byte is read from program memory
directly into the TABLAT register.
When a TBLWT is execut ed the byte in the TABLAT reg-
ister is written, not to Flash memory but, to a holding
register in preparation for a program memory write. The
holding registers constitute a write block which varies
dependi ng on the devic e (See Table 6-1).The 3, 4, or 5
LSbs of the TBLPTRL register determine which specific
address within the holding register block is written to.
The MSBs of the Table Pointer have no effect during
TBLWT operations .
When a program memory write is executed the entire
holding register blo ck i s wr i tte n to th e Flash me mo ry at
the address determined by the MSbs of the TBLPTR.
The 3, 4, or 5 LSBs are ignored during Flash memory
writes. For more detail, see Section 6.5 “Writing to
Flash Program Memory”.
When an erase of program memory is executed, the
16 MSbs of the Table Pointer register
(TBLPTR<21:6>) point to the 64-byte block that will be
erased. The Least Significant bits (TBLPTR<5:0>) are
ignored.
Figure 6-3 describes the relevant boundaries of
TBLPTR based on Flash program memory operations.

6.3 Reading the Flash Program
Memory
The TBLRD instruction retrieves data from program
memory and plac es it into data R AM . Table reads fro m
program memory are performed one byte at a time.
TBLPTR points to a byte address in program space.
Executing TBLRD places the byte pointed to into
TABLAT. In addition, TBLPTR can be modified
automatically for the next table read operation.
The interna l program memory is typically org anized by
words. The Least Significant b it of th e address selects
between the high and low bytes of the word. Figure 6-4
shows the interface between the internal program
memory and the TABLAT.

6.4 Erasing Flash Program Memory
The mi nimum eras e block is 32 words or 64 byte s. Only
through the use of an external programmer, or through
ICSP™ control, can larger blocks of program memory
be bulk erased. Word erase in the Flash array is not
supported.
When initiating an erase sequence from the Microcon-
troller itself, a block of 64 bytes of program memory is
erased. The Most Significant 16 bits of the
TBLPTR<21:6> point to the block being erased. The
TBLPTR<5:0> bits are ignored.
The EECON1 regis te r com ma nds the era se opera tio n.
The EEPGD bit must be set to point to the Flash pro-
gram memory. The WREN bit must be set to enable
write op erations. The FREE bit is s et to selec t an erase
operation.
The write initiate sequence for EECON2, shown as
steps 4 through 6 in Section 6.4.1 “Flash Program
Memory Erase Sequence”, is used to guard against
accidental writes. This is sometimes referred to as a
long write.
A long w rite i s nec essary for erasing th e i nternal Fl ash.
Instruction execution is halted during the long write
cycle. The long write is terminated by the internal pro-
gramming timer.
6.4.1 FLASH PROGRAM MEMORY
ERASE SEQUENCE
The sequence of events for erasing a block of internal
program memory is:
1. Load Table Pointer register with address of
block bei ng er as ed .
2. Set the EECON1 register for the erase operation:
set EEPGD bit to point to program memory;
clear the CFGS bit to access program memory;
set WREN bit to enable writes;
set FREE bit to enable the erase.
3. Disable int errup ts.
4. Write 55h to EECON2.
5. Write 0AAh to EECON2.
6. Set the WR bit. This will begin the block erase
cycle.
7. The CPU will stall for duration of the erase
(about 2 ms using internal timer).
8. Re-enable interrupts.

6.5 Writing to Flash Program Memory
The programming block size is 16, 32 or 64 bytes,
dependi ng on the d evice (See Table 6-1). Word or by te
program ming is not supported.
Table writes are used internally to load the holding
registers needed to program the Flash memory. There
are only as many holding registers as there are bytes
in a write block (See Table 6-1).
Since the Table Latch (TABLAT) is only a single byte,
the TBLWT instruct ion may need to be executed 16, 32
or 64 times, depending on the device, for each pro-
gramming operation. All of the table write operations
will e ssentially be short writ es because on ly the holdin g
register s are written. Af ter all the h olding regist ers have
been written, the programming operation of that block
of memory is started by configuring the EECON1 reg-
ister for a program memory write and performing the
long write sequence.
The long write is necessary for programming the inter-
nal Flash. Instruction execution is halted during a long
write cycle. The long write will be terminated by the
internal programming timer.
The EEPROM on-chip timer controls the write time.
The write/erase voltages are generated by an on-chip
charge pump, rated to operate over the voltage range
of the device.
FIGURE 6-5: TABLE WRITES TO FLASH PROGRAM MEMORY
6.5.1 FLASH PROGRAM MEMORY WRITE
SEQUENCE
The sequence of events for programming an internal
program memory location shoul d be:
1. Read 64 bytes into RAM.
2. Update data values in RAM as necessary.
3. Load Table Pointer register with address being
erased.
4. Execute the block erase procedure.
5. Load Table Pointer register with address of first
byte being written.
6. Write the 16, 3 2 or 64 by te block into the holding
registers with auto-increment.
7. Set the EECON 1 register for the wri te operation:
set EEPGD bit to point to program memory;
clear the CFGS bit to access program memory;
set WREN to enable byte writes.
8. Disable int errup ts.
9. Write 55h to EECON2.
10. Write 0AAh to EECON2.
11. Set the WR bit. This will beg in the write cy cl e.
12. The C PU will stall for dura tion of t he write (about
2 ms using internal timer).
13. Re-enable interrupts.
14. Repeat steps 6 to 13 for each block until all 64
bytes are written.
15. Verify the memory (table read).
This procedure will require about 6 ms to update each
write block of memory . An example of the required code
is given in Example 6-3.
Note: The default value of the holding registers on
device Resets and aft er write op eratio ns is
FFh. A write of FFh to a holding register
does not modi fy th at byt e. Thi s mea ns th at
individual bytes of program memory may be
modified, provided that the change does not
attemp t to cha nge an y bi t from a ‘0’ to a ‘1’.
When modifying individual bytes, it is not
necessary to load all holding registers
before execu ting a lon g writ e opera tion.

EXAMPLE 6-3: WRITING TO FLASH PROGRAM MEMORY (CONTINUED)
6.5.2 WRITE VERIFY
Depending on the application, good programming
practice may dictate that the value written to the
memory should be verified against the original value.
This should be used in applications where excessive
writes can stress bits near the specification limit.
6.5.3 UNEXPECTED TERMINATION OF
WRITE OPERATION
If a wri te is term in ate d by an unpl an ned ev en t, s uc h a s
loss of power or an unexpected Reset, the memory
location just programmed should be verified and
reprogrammed if needed. If the write operation is
interrupted by a MCLR Reset or a WDT Time-out Reset
during normal operation, the WRERR bit will be set
which the user can check to decide whether a rewrite
of the location(s) is needed.
6.5.4 PROTECTION AGAINST
SPURIOUS WRITES
To protect against spurious writes to Flash program
memory, the write initiate sequence must also be
followed. See Section 23.0 “Special Features of the
CPU” for more detail.

7.0 DATA EEPROM MEMORY
The data EEPROM i s a nonvolatil e memory array, sep-
arate from the data RAM and program memory, which
is used for long-term storage of program data. It is not
directly mapped in either the register file or program
memory space but is indirectly addressed through the
Special Function Registers (SFRs). The EEPROM is
readable and writ able durin g normal ope ration over th e
entire VDD range.
Four SFRs are used to read and write to the data
EEPROM as well as the program memory. They are:
EECON1
EECON2
EEDATA
EEADR
EEADRH
The data EEPROM allows byte read and write. When
interfacing to the data memory block, EEDATA holds
the 8-bit data for read/write and the EEADR:EEADRH
register pair hold the address of the EEPROM location
being accessed.
The EEPROM data memory is rated for high erase/write
cycle endurance. A byte write automatically erases the
location and writes the new data (erase-before-write).
The write time is controlled by an on-chip timer; it will
vary with voltage and temperature as well as from chip-
to-chip. Please refer to parameter D122 (Table 26.10 in
Section 26.0 “Electrical Characteristics”) for exact
limits.
7.1 EEADR and EEADRH Registers
The EEADR register is used to address the data
EEPROM for read and write operations. The 8-bit
range of the register can address a memory range of
256 bytes (00h to FFh). The EEADRH register e xpands
the range to 1024 bytes by adding an additional two
address bits.
7.2 EECON1 and EECON2 Registers
Access to the data EEPROM is controlled by two
register s: EECON1 an d EECON2. Thes e are the same
registers which control access to the program memory
and are used in a similar manner for the data
EEPROM.
The EECON 1 re gis ter (R egi ste r 7-1) is the co ntro l re g-
ister for data and program memory access. Control bit
EEPGD determines if the access will be to program or
data EEPROM memory. When the EEPGD bit is clear,
operations will access the data EEPROM memory.
When the EEPGD bit is set, program memory is
accessed.
Control bit, CFGS, determines if the access will be to
the Con fig urat ion reg ist ers or to pro gram m em ory /data
EEPROM memory. When the CFGS bit is set,
subseq uent ope rations acce ss Confi gur ation reg isters.
When the CFGS bit is clear, the EEPGD bit selects
either program Flash or data EEPROM memory.
The WREN bit, when set, will allow a write operation.
On power-up, the WREN bit is clear.
The WRERR bit is set by hardw are whe n the WR bit i s
set and cleared when the internal programming timer
expires and the write operation is complete.
The WR control bit initiates write operations. The bit
can be set but no t cleared by software . It is cleare d only
by hardware at the completion of the write operation.
Control bits, RD and WR, start read and erase/write
operat ions, respec tively . These bi ts are set by fi rmware
and cleared by hardware at the completion of the
operation.
The RD bit cannot be set when accessing program
memory (EEPGD = 1). Program memory is read using
table read instructions. See Section 6.1 “Table Reads
and Ta ble Writes regarding table reads.
The EECON2 register is not a physical register. It is
used exclusively in the memory write and erase
sequences. Reading EECON2 will read all ‘0’s.
Note: During normal operation, the WRERR
may read as ‘1’. This can indicate that a
write operation was prematurely termi-
nated by a Reset, or a write operation was
attempted improperly.
Note: The EEIF interrupt flag bit of the PIR2
register is set when the write is complete.
It must be cleared by software.

7.3 Reading the Data EEPROM
Memory
To read a data memory location, the user must write
the address to the EEADR register, clear the EEPGD
control bi t of the EECON 1 regi st er a nd then set co ntro l
bit, RD. The data is available on the very next instruc-
tion cycle; therefore, the EEDATA register can be read
by the next instruction. EEDA TA will hold this value unti l
another read operation, or until it is written to by the
user (during a write operation).
The basic process is shown in Example 7-1.
7.4 Writing to the Data EEPROM
Memory
To write an EEPROM data location, the address must
first be writ ten to the EEAD R r egiste r and the da ta writ-
ten to the EEDATA register. The sequence in
Example 7-2 must be followed to initiate the write cycle.
The write will not begin if this sequence is not exactly
followed (write 55h to EECON2, write 0AAh to
EECON2, then set WR bit) for each byte. It is strongly
recommended that interrupts be disabled during this
code segment.
Additionally, the WREN bit in EECON1 must be set to
enable writes. This mechanism prevents accidental
writes to data EEPROM due to unexpected code
execution (i.e., runaway programs). The WREN bit
should be ke pt clear at all times , excep t whe n upda tin g
the EEPROM. The WREN bit is not cleared by
hardware.
After a write sequence has been initiated, EECON1,
EEADR and EEDATA cannot be modified. The WR bit
will be inhibited from being set unless the WREN bit is
set. Both WR and WREN cannot be set with the same
instruction.
At the completion of the write cycle, the WR bit is
cleared by hardware and the EEPROM Interrupt Flag
bit, EEIF, is set. The user may either enable this
interrupt or poll this bit. EEIF must be cleared by
software.
7.5 Wri te Veri fy
Depending on the application, good programming
practice may dictate that the value written to the
memory should be verified against the original value.
This should be used in applications where excessive
writes can stress bits near the specification limit.

7.6 Operation During Code-Protect
Data EEPROM memory has its own code-protect bits
in Configuration Words. External read and write
operations are disabled if code protection is enabled.
The mic rocontroll er its elf can bo th read and write to the
internal data EEPROM, regardless of the state of the
code-protect Configuration bit. Refer to Section 23.0
“Special Features of the CPU” for additional
information.
7.7 Protection Against S purious Write
There are conditions when the user may not want to
write to the data EEPROM memory. To protect against
spurious EEPROM writes, various mechanisms have
been implemented. On power-up, the WREN bit is
cleared. In addition, writes to the EEPROM are bloc ked
during the Power-up Timer period (TPWRT,
parameter 33).
The write initiate seq ue nce an d the WREN bi t tog eth er
help prevent an accidental write during brown-out,
power glitch or software malfunction.
7.8 Using the Data EEPROM
The data EEPROM is a high-endurance, byte
addressable array that has been optimized for the
storage of frequently changing information (e.g.,
program variables or other dat a that are updated of ten).
When variables in one section change frequently, while
variables in another sec tion do not c hange, it is possible
to exceed the total number of write cycles to the
EEPROM (specification D124) without exceeding the
total number of write cycles to a single byte (specification
D120). If this is the case, then an array refresh must be
performed. For this reason, variables that change
infrequently (such as constants, IDs, calibration, etc.)
should be stored in Flash program m emory.
A simple data EEPROM refresh routine is shown in
Example 7-3.
EXAMPLE 7-3: DATA EEPROM REFRESH ROUTINE
Note: If data EEPROM is only used to store
const a nts and/or data th at changes rarel y,
an array refresh is likely not required. See

8.0 8 x 8 HARDWARE MULTIPLIER
8.1 Introduction
All PIC18 devices include an 8 x 8 hardware multiplier
as part of the ALU. The multiplier performs an unsigned
operation and yields a 16-bit result that is stored in the
product register pair, PRODH:PRODL. The multiplier’s
operation does not affect any flags in the STATUS
register.
Making multiplication a hardware operation allows it to
be com pl eted i n a single ins tru ction cycl e. Thi s has th e
advantages of higher computational throughput and
reduced code size for multiplication algorithms and
allows the PIC18 devices to be used in many applica-
tions previously reserved for digital signal processors.
A comparison of various hardware and software
multiply operations, along with the savings in memory
and execution time, is shown in Table 8-1.
8.2 Operation
Example 8-1 shows the instruction s equence for an 8 x 8
unsigned multiplication. Only one instruction is required
when one of the arguments is already loaded in the
WREG regis ter.
Exampl e 8-2 shows the sequence t o do an 8 x 8 signed
multiplication. To account for the sign bits of the argu-
ments, each argument’s Most Significant bit (MSb) is
tested and the appropriate subtractions are done.

9.0 INTERRUPTS
The PIC18F2XK20/4XK20 devices have multiple
interrupt sources and an interrupt priority feature that
allows most interrupt sources to be assigned a high
priority level or a low priority level. The high priority
interr upt vector is at 0008h and the low priority interrupt
vector is at 0018h. A high priority interrupt event will
inter rupt a low priorit y interrupt tha t may be in p rogress.
There are ten registers which are used to control
interrupt operation. These registers are:
RCON
•INTCON
INTCON2
INTCON3
PIR1, PIR2
PIE1, PIE2
IPR1, IPR2
It is recommended that the Microchip header files sup-
plied with MPLAB® IDE be used for the symbolic bit
names in these registers. This allows the assembler/
compil er to automa tical ly ta ke care of the pla ceme nt of
these bits within the specified register.
In ge nera l, in terru pt so urces have thre e bits to cont rol
their operation. They are:
Flag bit to indicate that an interrupt event
occurred
Enable bit that allows program execution to
branch to the interrupt vector address when the
flag bit is set
Priority bit to select high priority or low priority
9.1 Mid-Range Compatibility
When the IPEN b it is cleared (default st ate), the interrupt
priority feature is disabled and interrupts are com p atible
with PIC® microcontroller mid-range devices. In
Comp atibility mode, the interrupt priority bit s of the IPRx
registers have no effect. The PEIE bit of the INTCON
register is the glo bal interrupt enable for the p eripherals.
The PEIE bit disables only the peripheral interrupt
sources and enables the peripheral interrupt sources
when the GIE bit is also set. The GIE bit of the INTCON
register is the global interrupt enable which enables all
non-peripheral interrupt sources and disables all
interrupt sources, including the peripherals. All interrupt s
branch to address 0008h in C omp atib ility mo de.
9.2 Interrupt Priority
The interrupt priority feature is enabled by setting the
IPEN bit of the RCON register. When interrupt priority
is enabled the GIE and PEIE global interrupt enable
bits of Compatibility mode are replaced by the GIEH
high priority, and GIEL low priority, global interrupt
enables. When set, the GIEH bit of the INTCON regis-
ter enables all interrupts that have their associated
IPRx register or INTCONx register priority bit set (high
priority). When clear, the GIEH bit disables all interrupt
sources including those selected as low priority. When
clear , the GIEL bit of t he INTCON register disa bles only
the interrupts that have their associated priority bit
cleared (low priority). When set, the GIEL bit enables
the low priority sources when the GIEH bit is also set.
When the interrupt flag, enable bit and appropriate
global interrupt enable bit are all set, the interrupt will
vector immediately to address 0008h for high priority,
or 0018h for low priority, depending on level of the
interrupting source’s priority bit. Individual interrupts
can be disabled through their corresponding interrupt
enable bits.
9.3 Interrupt Response
When an interrupt is responded to, the global interrupt
enable bit is cleared to disable further interrupts. The
GIE bit is the gl oba l i nterrupt enabl e w h en the IPEN b it
is cleared. When the IPEN bit is set, enabling interrupt
priority levels, the GIEH bit is the high priority global
interrupt enable and the GIEL bit is the low priority
global interrupt enable. High priority interrupt sources
can interrupt a low priority interrupt. Low priority
interrupts are not processed while high priority
interrupts are in progress.
The return address is pushed onto the stack and the
PC is loaded with the interrupt vector address (0008h
or 0018h). Once in the Interrupt Service Routine, the
source(s) of the interrupt can be determined by polling
the interrupt flag bits in the INTCONx and PIRx
registers. The interrupt flag bits must be cleared by
software before re-enabling interrupts to avoid
repeating the same interrupt.
The “return from interrupt” instruction, RETFIE, exits
the interrup t routine and set s the GIE bit (GIEH or GI EL
if priority levels are used), which re-enables interrupts.
For external interrupt events, such as the INT pins or
the PORTB interrupt-on-change, the interrupt latency
will be three to four instruction cycles. The exact
latency is the same for one-cycle or two-cycle
instructions. Individual interrupt flag bits are set,
regardless of the status of their corresponding enable
bits or the global interrupt enable bit.
Note: Do not use the MOVFF instruction to modify
any of the interrupt control registers while
any interrupt is enabled. Doing so may
cause erratic microcontroller behavior.

registers, which contain various enable, priority and
flag bits.

9.5 PIR Registers
The PIR regi sters c onta in the ind ividu al flag bit s for the
peripheral interrupts. Due to the number of peripheral
interrupt sources, there are two Peripheral Interrupt
Request Flag registers (PIR1 and PIR2).
Note 1: Interrupt flag bit s are set when an interrupt
condition occurs, regardless of the state of
its corresponding enable bit or the Global
Interrupt Enable bit, GIE of the INTCON
register.
2: User software s hould ensure the approp ri-
ate interrupt flag bits are cleared prior to
enabling an interrupt and after servicing
that interrupt.

9.9 INTn Pin Interrupts
External interrupts on the RB0/INT0, RB1/INT1 and
RB2/INT2 p ins are edge-triggered. If the corresponding
INTEDGx bit in the INTCON2 register is set (= 1), the
interrupt is triggered by a rising edge; if the bit is clear,
the trigger is on the falling edge. When a valid edge
appears on the RBx/INTx pin, the corresponding flag
bit, INTxF, is set. This interrupt can be disabled by
clearing the corresponding enable bit, INTxE. Flag bit,
INTxF, must be cleared by software in the Interrupt
Service Routine before re-enabling the interrupt.
All extern al interrupt s (INT0, INT1 an d INT2) can wake-
up the processor from Idle or Sleep modes if bit INTxE
was set prior to going into those modes. If the Global
Interrupt Enable bit, GIE, is set, the processor will
branch to the interrupt vector following wake-up.
Interrupt priority for INT1 and INT2 is determined by the
value con tained in the inte rrupt priority bit s, INT1IP and
INT2IP o f the I NTCON3 regis ter. There is no prio rity bit
associated with INT0. It is always a high priority inter-
rupt source.
9.10 TMR0 Interrupt
In 8-b it mod e (whic h is the de faul t), a n overfl ow in t he
TMR0 register (FFh 00h) will set flag bit, TMR0IF. In
16-bit mode, an overflow in the TMR0H:TMR0L regis-
ter pair (FFFFh 0000h) will set TMR0IF. The interrupt
can be enabled/disabled by setting/clearing enable bit,
TMR0IE of the INTCON register. Interrupt priority for
Timer0 is determined by the value contained in the
interrupt priority bit, TMR0IP of the INTCON2 register.
See Section 12.0 “Timer0 Module” for further details
on the Timer0 module.
9.11 PORTB Interrupt-on-Change
An input c ha nge on PORTB<7 :4> sets flag bi t, RBIF of
the INTCON register. The interrupt can be enabled/
disabled by setting/clearing enable bit, RBIE of the
INTCON register. Pins must also be individually
enabled with the IOCB register. Interrupt priority for
PORTB in terrupt-on-change is determi ned by the value
contained in the interrupt priority bit, RBIP of the
INTCON2 regi ste r.
9.12 Context Saving During Interrupts
During interrupts, the return PC address is saved on
the stack. Additionally, the WREG, STATUS and BSR
registers are saved on the fast return stack. If a fast
return from interrupt is not used (see Section 5.1.3
“Fast R egister S tac k”), the user may need to save th e
WREG, STATUS and BSR registers on entry to the
Interrupt Service Routine. Depending on the user’s
applic ation, o the r regist ers ma y also ne ed to be save d.
Example 9-1 saves and restores the WREG, STATUS
and BSR regi sters d uring an In terrupt Serv ice Rou tine.

10.0 I/O PORTS
Depending on the device selected and features
enabled, there are up to five ports available. Some pins
of the I/O ports are multiplexed with an alternate
function from the peripheral features on the device. In
general, when a perip heral is ena bled, that pi n may not
be used as a general purpose I/O pin.
Each port has three registers for its operation. These
registers are:
TRIS register (data direction register)
PORT register (rea ds the lev els on the pin s of the
device)
LAT register (output latch)
The Dat a Latch (LAT register ) is useful for read -modify-
write operations on the value that the I/O pins are
driving.
A simplified model of a generic I/O port, without the
interf aces to other peri pherals, is sho wn in Figure 10-1.
FIGURE 10-1: GENERIC I/O PORT
OPERATION
10.1 PORTA, TRISA and LATA
Registers
PORTA is an 8-bit wide, bidirectional port. The
corresp ond ing data direc tio n re gis ter is TRISA. Se ttin g
a TRISA bit (= 1) will make the corresponding PORTA
pin an input (i.e., disable the output driver). Clearing a
TRISA bit (= 0) will make the corresponding PORTA
pin an outpu t (i.e., enable the outpu t driv er and pu t the
contents of the output latch on the selected pin).
Reading the PORTA register reads the status of the
pins, whe reas wri ting to it, will write to the P OR T la tch.
The Data La tch (LA TA) register is also memory m apped.
Read-modify-write operations on the LATA register read
and write the latched output valu e for PORTA.
The RA4 pin is multiplexed with the Timer0 module
clock input and one of the comparator outputs to
become the RA4/T0CKI/C1OUT pin. Pins RA6 and
RA7 are multiplexed with the main oscillator pins; they
are enabled as oscillator or I/O pins by the selection of
the main oscillator in the Configuration register (see
Section 23.1 “Configuration Bits” for details). When
they are not used as port pins, RA6 and RA7 and their
associated TRIS and LAT bits are read as ‘0’.
The other PORTA pins are multiplexed with analog
inputs, the analog VREF+ and VREF- inputs, and the
comparator voltage reference output . The operati on of
pins RA<3:0> and RA5 as analog is selected by setting
the ANS<4:0> bits in the ANSEL register which is the
default setting after a Power-on Reset.
Pins RA0 through RA5 may also be used as comparator
inputs or outputs by setting the appropriate bits in the
CM1CON0 and CM2CON0 registers.
The R A4 / T0 CK I /C 1O UT pi n is a S c hm itt Trigg e r in p ut .
All other PORTA pins have TTL input levels and full
CMOS out put driv ers.
The TRISA register controls the drivers of the PORTA
pins, ev en w he n th ey a re being used as ana log inputs .
The user should ensure the bits in the TRISA register
are maintained set whe n u si ng t hem as a nal og inputs .

10.2 PORTB, TRISB and LATB
Registers
PORTB is an 8-bit wide, bidirectional port. The corre-
sponding data direction register is TRISB. Setting a
TRISB bit (= 1) will make the corresponding PORTB
pin an input (i.e., disable the output driver). Clearing a
TRISB bit (= 0) will make the corresponding PORTB
pin an outpu t (i.e., enabl e the output driver and pu t the
contents of the output latch on the selected pin).
The Data Latch register (LATB) is also memory
mapped. Read-modify-write operations on the LATB
register read and write the latched output value for
PORTB.
EXAMPLE 10-2: INITIALIZING PORTB
10.3 Additional PORTB Pin Functions
PORTB pins RB<7:4> have an interrupt-on-change
option. All POR TB p ins ha ve a we ak pu ll-up option. An
alternate CCP2 peripheral option is available on RB3.
10.3.1 WEAK PULL-UPS
Each of the PORTB pins has an individually controlled
weak in tern al pul l-u p. When set, each bit of the WPUB
register enables the corresponding pin pull-up. When
cleared, the RBPU bit of the INTC ON2 register ena bles
pull-up s on all pins which also have their corresponding
WPUB bit set. When set, the RBPU bit disables all
weak pull-ups. The weak pull-up is automatically turned
off when the port pin is configured as an output. The
pull -ups are disabled on a Power-on Reset.
10.3.2 INTERRUPT-ON-CHANGE
Four of the PORTB pins (RB<7:4>) are individually
configurable as interrupt-on-change pins. Control bits
in the IOCB register enable (when set) or disabl e (when
clear) the interrupt function for each pin.
When se t, the RBIE bit of the INTCON reg ister enab les
interr upt s o n a ll pi ns w hi ch al so ha ve the ir correspon d-
ing IOCB bit set. When clear, the RBIE bit disables all
interrupt-on-changes.
Only pins configured as inputs can cause this interrupt
to occur (i .e., any RB<7:4 > pin co nfigure d as an outp ut
is exclud ed from th e interrupt-o n-change comp arison).
For enabled interrupt-on-change pins, the values are
comp ared with the old val ue latch ed on the la st read of
PORTB. The ‘mismatch’ outputs of the last read are
OR’d together to set the PORTB Change Interrupt flag
bit (RBIF) in the INTCON register.
This interrupt can wake the device from the Sleep
mode, or any of the Idle modes. The user, in the
Interrupt Service Routine, can clear the interrupt in the
following manner:
a) Any read or write of PORTB to clear the mis-
match condition (except when PORTB is the
source or destination of a MOVFF instruction).
b) Clear the flag bit, RBIF.
A mismatch condition will continue to set the RBIF flag bit.
Reading or writing PORTB will end the mismatch
condition and allow the RBIF bit to be cleared. The latch
holding the last read value is not affected by a MCLR nor
Brown-out Reset. After either one of these Resets, the
RBIF flag will continue to be set if a mismatch is present.
The interrupt-on-change feature is recommended for
wake-up on key depression operation and operations
where PORTB is only used for the interrupt-on-change
feature. Polling of PORTB is not recommended while
using the interrupt-on-change feature.
10.3.3 ALTERNA TE CCP2 OPTION
RB3 can be co nfig ured as the a lter nate periph eral pin
for the CCP2 module by clearing the CCP2MX Config-
uration bit of CONFIG3H. The default state of the
CCP2MX Configuration bit is ‘1’ which selects RC1 as
the CCP2 peripheral pin.
Note: On a Power-on Reset, RB<4:0> are
configu red as analog inp uts by defau lt and
read as ‘0’; RB<7:5> are configured as
digital inputs.
When th e PBADEN Configurat ion bit is s et
to ‘1’, RB<4:0> will alternatively be
configured as digital inputs on POR.

Note: If a change on the I/O pin should occur
when the read operation is being executed
(start of the Q2 cycle), then the RBIF
interrupt flag may not get set. Furthermore,
since a read or write on a port affects all bits
of that port, care must be taken when using
multiple pins in Interrupt-on- change mode.
Changes on one pin may not be seen while
servicing changes on another pin.

10.4 PORTC, TRISC and LATC
Registers
PORTC is an 8-bit wide, bidirectional port. The corre-
sponding data direction register is TRISC. Setting a
TRISC bit (= 1) will make the corresponding PORTC
pin an input (i.e., disable the output driver). Clearing a
TRISC bit (= 0) will make the corresponding PORTC
pin an outpu t (i.e., enabl e the output driver and pu t the
contents of the output latch on the selected pin).
The Data Latch register (LATC) is also memory
mapped. Read-modify-write operations on the LATC
register read and write the latched output value for
PORTC.
PORT C is multip lexed with s everal periphe ral function s
(Ta ble 10-5) . The p ins have Schmitt Trigg er input buf-
fers. RC1 is the default configuration for the CCP2
peripheral pin. The CCP2 function can be relocated to
the RB3 pin by clearing the CCP2MX bit of Configura-
tion Word CONFIG3H. The default state of the
CCP2MX Configuration bit is ‘1’.
When enabling peripheral functions, care should be
taken in defining TRIS bits for each PORTC pin. The
EUSART and MSSP peripherals override the TRIS bit
to make a pin an output or an input, depending on the
peripheral configuration. Refer to the corresponding
peripheral section for additional information.
The contents of the TRISC register are affected by
peripheral overrides. Reading TRISC always returns
the current contents, even though a peripheral device
may be overriding one or more of the pins.

10.5 PORTD, TRISD and LATD
Registers
PORTD is an 8-bit wide, bidirectional port. The corre-
sponding data direction register is TRISD. Setting a
TRISD bit (= 1) will make the corresponding PORTD
pin an input (i.e., disable the output driver). Clearing a
TRISD bit (= 0) will make the corresponding PORTD
pin an outpu t (i.e., enabl e the output driver and pu t the
contents of the output latch on the selected pin).
The Data Latch register (LATD) is also memory
mapped. Read-modify-write operations on the LATD
register read and write the latched output value for
PORTD.
All pins on PORTD are implemented with Schmitt Trig-
ger input buffers. Each pin is individually configurable
as an input or output.
Three of the PORTD pins are multiplexed with outputs
P1B, P1C an d P1D of t he enha nced CCP modul e. The
operation of these additional PWM output pins is
covered in greater detail in Section 16.0 “Enhanced
Capture/Compare/PWM (ECCP) Module”.
POR TD can also be co nfigured as a n 8 - bit w id e m ic ro-
processor port (Parallel Slave Port) by setting control
bit, PSPMODE (TRISE<4>). In this mode, the input
buffers are TTL. See Section 10.9 “Parallel Slave
Port” for additional information on the Parallel Slave
Port (PSP).
EXAMPLE 10-4: INITIALIZING PORTD
Note: PORTD is only available on 40/44-pin
devices.
Note: On a Power-on Reset, these pins are
configured as digital inputs.
Note: When the enhanced PWM mode is used
with either dual or quad outputs, the PSP
functions of PORTD are automatically
disabled.

10.6 PORTE, TRISE and LATE
Registers
Depending on the particular PIC18F2XK20/4XK20
device selected, PORTE is implemented in two
different ways.
10.6.1 PORTE IN PIC18F4XK20 DEVICES
For PIC18F4XK20 devices, PORTE is a 4-bit wide port.
Thre e pi n s (RE 0 /R D/AN5, RE1/WR/AN6 and RE2/CS/
AN7) are i ndi vi dually con fig urab le as i nputs or outp uts.
These pins have Schmitt Trigger input buffers. When
select ed as an analog input, these pins will read as ‘0’s.
The corresponding data direction register is TRISE.
Setting a TRISE bit (= 1) will make the corresponding
PORTE pin an input (i.e., disable the output driver).
Clearing a TR ISE bit (= 0) will make t he correspondin g
PORT E pin an output (i .e., e nable th e output dri ver and
put the contents of the output latch on the selected pin).
TRISE controls the direction of the RE pins, even when
they are being used as analog inputs. The user must
make sure to keep the pins configured as inputs when
using them as analog inputs.
The upper four bits of the TRISE register also control
the operati on of the Parallel Slav e Port. Their operatio n
is explained in Register 10-1.
The Data Latch register (LATE) is also memory
mapped. Read-modify-write operations on the LATE
register, read and write the latched output value for
PORTE.
The fourth pin of PORTE (MCLR/VPP/RE3) is an input
only pin. Its operation is controlled by the MCLRE
Configuration bit. When selected as a port pin
(MCLRE = 0), it functions as a digital input only pin; as
such, it does not have TRIS or LA T bits associated with its
operation. Otherwise, it function s as the device’s Master
Clear input. In either configuration, RE3 also functions as
the programming voltage input during programming.
EXAMPLE 10-5: INITIALIZING PORTE
10.6.2 PORTE IN PIC18F2XK20 DEVICES
For PIC18F2XK20 devices, PORTE is only available
when Master Clear functionality is disabled
(MCLR = 0). In these cases, PORTE is a single bit,
input only port comprised of RE3 only . The pin operates
as previously described.
Note: On a Power-on Reset, RE<2:0> are
configured as analog inputs.
Note: On a Pow er- on Re set, RE3 i s enab led as
a digital input only if Master Clear
functionality is disabled.

10.7 Port Analog Control
Some port pins are multiplexed with analog functions
such as the Analog-to-Digital Converter and compara-
tors. When these I/O pins are to be used as analog
inputs it is necessary to disable the digital input buffer
to avoid excessive current caused by improper biasing
of the digital input. Individual contr ol of th e digital input
buffers on pins which share analog functions is pro-
vided b y the ANSEL an d ANSELH registe rs. Setting a n
ANSx bit high will disable the associated digital input
buffer and cause all reads of that pin to return ‘0’ whil e
allowing analog functions of that pin to operate
correctly.
The state of the ANSx bits has no affect on digital
output functions. A pin with the associated TRISx bit
clear and ANSx bit set will still operate as a digital
output but the input mode will be analog. This can
cause unexpected behavior when performing read-
modify-write operations on the affected port.

10.9 Parallel Slave Port
In addition to its function as a general I/O port, PORTD
can also operate as an 8-bit wide Parallel Slave Port
(PSP) or microprocessor port. PSP operation is
controlled by the 4 upper bits of the TRISE register
(Register 10-1). Setting control bit, PSPMODE
(TRISE<4>), enables PSP operation as long as the
enhanced CCP module is not operating in dual output
or quad output PWM mode. In Slave mode, the port is
asynchronously readable and writable by the external
world.
The PSP can directly interface to an 8-bit
microprocess or data b us. Th e e xter na l microp ro cessor
can read or write the PORTD latch as an 8-bit latch.
Setting the control bit, PSPMODE, enables the PORTE
I/O pins to become control inputs for the microprocessor
port. When set, port pin RE0 is the RD input, RE1 is the
WR input and RE2 is the CS (Chip Select) input. For this
functionality , the corresponding data direction bits of the
TRISE register (TRISE<2:0>) must be configured as
inputs (set) and the ANSEL<7:5> bits must be cleared.
A write to the PSP occurs when both the CS and WR
lines are first detected low and ends when either are
detecte d high. The PSPIF and IBF flag bits are both s et
when the write ends.
A read from t he PSP occurs when both the CS and RD
lines are first detected low. The data in PORTD is read
out and the O BF bit is c lear. If the user writes new da t a
to POR TD to set OBF, the data is immediately rea d out;
however, the OBF bit is not set.
When either the CS or RD lines are detected high, the
PORT D pins retu rn to the inpu t sta te and th e PSPIF bit
is set. Use r applications should wait for PSPIF t o be set
before servicing the PSP; when this happens, the IBF
and OBF bits can be polled and the appropriate action
taken.
The timing for the control signals in Write and Read
modes is shown in Figure 10-3 and Figure 10-4,
respectively.

11.0 CAPTURE/COMPARE/ PWM
(CCP) MODULES
PIC18F2XK20/4XK20 devices have two CCP
Capture/Compare/PWM) modules. Each module
cont ains a 16-bi t regis ter wh ich can operate as a 1 6-bit
Capture register, a 16-bit Compare register or a PWM
Master/Sl ave Dut y Cycl e register.
CCP1 is implemented as an enhanced CCP module with
standard Capture and Compare modes and enhanced
PWM modes. The ECCP implementation is discussed in
Section 16.0 “Enhanced Capture/Compare/PWM
(ECCP) Module”. CCP2 is implemented as a standard
CCP m odu le with ou t th e en ha nc ed fe atures.
The Ca pture and Comp are opera tions de scribed in this
chapter apply to both standard and enhanced CCP
modules.
Note: Throughout this section and Section 16.0
“Enhanced Capture/Comp are/PWM (ECCP)
Module”, references to the register and bit
names for CCP modules are referred to
generically by the use of ‘x’ or ‘y’ in place of the
specific module number. Thus, “CCPxCON
might refer to the control register for CCP1,
CCP2 or ECCP1. “CCPxCON” is used
throughout these sections to refer to the
module control register, regardless of whether
the CCP module is a standard or enhanced
implementation.

11.1 CCP Module Configuration
Each Capture/Compare/PWM module is associated
with a control register (generically, CCPxCON) and a
data register (CCPRx). The data register, in turn, is
comprised of two 8-bit registers: CCPRxL (low byte)
and CCPRxH (high byte). All registers are both
readable and writable.
11.1.1 CCP MODULES AND TIMER
RESOURCES
The CCP modules utilize Timers 1, 2 or 3, depending
on the mo de selected. T imer1 and T imer3 are available
to modules in Capture or Compare modes, while
Timer2 is available for modules in PWM mode.
TABLE 11-1: CCP MODE – TIMER
RESOURCE
The assignment of a particular timer to a module is
determined by the Timer-to-CCP enable bits in the
T3CON register (Register 15-1). Both modules can be
active at the same time and can share the same timer
resource if they are configured to operate in the same
mode (Capture/Compare or PWM). The interactions
between the two modules are summarized in Figu re 1 1-1
and Figure 11-2. In Asynchronous Counter mode, the
capture operation will not work reliably.
11.1.2 CCP2 PIN ASSIGNMENT
The pin as signment fo r CCP2 (Capture inpu t, Compare
and PW M output) c an chang e, based o n device config-
uratio n. The CCP2MX Configurat ion bit determ ines the
pin with which CCP2 is multiplexed. By default, it is
assign ed to RC1 (C CP2MX = 1). If the Configuration bit
is cleared, CCP2 is multiplexed with RB3.
Changing the pin assignment of CCP2 does not
automatically change any requirements for configuring
the port pin. Users must always verify that the
appropriate TRIS register is configured correctly for
CCP2 operation, regardless of where it is located.

(depending upon which time base is used). Automatic A/D conversions on trigger event
can also be done. Operation of CCP1 could be affected if it is using the same timer as a
time base.

PIC18F2XK20/4XK20
11.2 Capture Mode
In Capture mode, the CCPRxH:CCPRxL register pair
captures the 16-bit value of the TMR1 or TMR3
registers when an event occurs on the corresponding
CCPx pin. An event is defined as one of the following:
every falling edge
every rising edge
every 4th rising edge
every 16th rising edge
The event is selected by the mode select bits,
CCPxM<3:0> of the CCPxCON register. When a cap-
ture is made, the interrupt request flag bit, CCPxIF, is
set; it must be cleared by software. If another capture
occurs before the value in register CCPRx is read, the
old captured value is overwritten by the new captured
value.
11.2.1 CCP PIN CONFIGURATION
In Capture mode, the appropriate CCPx pin should be
configured as an input by setting the corresponding
TRIS direction bit.
11.2.2 TIMER1/TIMER3 MODE SELECTION
The tim ers that are to be used with the capture feature
(Timer1 and/or Timer3) must be running in Timer mode
or Sync hroni zed Counte r mode . In As ynch ronou s Coun -
ter mode, the capture operation may not work. The timer
to be used with each CCP module is selected in the
T3CON register (see Section 11.1.1 “CCP Modules
and Ti me r Resou rces” ).
11.2.3 SOFTWARE INTERRUPT
When the Capture mode is changed, a false capture
interrupt may be generated. The user should keep the
CCPxIE interrupt enable bit clear to avoid false inter-
rupts. The interrupt flag bit, CCPxIF, should also be
cleared following any such change in operating mode.
11.2.4 CCP PRESCALER
There are four prescaler settings in Capture mode; they
are sp ecified as part of the ope rating mode selected by
the mode select bits (CCPxM<3:0>). Whenever the
CCP mo dule is turned of f or Captu re mode is disa bled ,
the prescaler counter is cleared. This means that any
Reset will clear the prescaler counter.
Switching from one capture prescaler to another may
generate an interrupt. Also, the prescaler counter will
not be cl eared; therefore , t he firs t c ap ture m ay be fro m
a non-zero prescaler. Example 11-1 shows the
recommended method for switching between capture
prescalers. This example also clears the prescaler
counter and will not generate the “false” interrupt.

11.3 Compare Mode
In Compare mode, the 16-bit CCPRx register value is
constantly compared against either the TMR1 or TMR3
register pair value. When a match occurs, the CCPx pin
can be:
driven high
driven low
toggled (high-to-low or low-to-high)
remain u nchanged (tha t is, reflects t he state of th e
I/O latch)
The acti on on the pin is b ased on the val ue of the mode
select bits (CCPxM<3:0>). At the same time, the inter-
rupt flag bit, CCPxIF, is set.
11.3.1 CCP PIN CONFIGURATION
The user must configure the CCPx pin as an output by
clearing the appropriate TRIS bit.
11.3.2 TIMER1/TIMER3 MODE SELECTION
Tim er1 and/ or Time r3 must be r unning in Timer mode
or Synchronized Counter mode if the CCP module is
using the compare feature. In Asynchronous Counter
mode, the compare operation will not work reliably.
11.3.3 SOFTWARE INTERRUPT MODE
When the Ge nerate Softwa re I nterrupt mode i s cho sen
(CCPxM<3:0> = 1010), the corresponding CCPx pin is
not affected . Only the C CPxIF interrup t flag is affecte d.
11.3.4 SPECIAL EVENT TRIGGER
Both CCP modules are equipped with a Special Event
Trigger. This is an internal hardware signal generated
in Co mpare mo de to trig ger actio ns by oth er mod ule s.
The Special Event Trigger is enabled by selecting
the Compare Special Event Trigger mode
(CCPxM<3:0> = 1011).
For either CCP module, the S pecial Event T rigger reset s
the timer register pair for whichever timer resource is
currently assigned as the module’s time base. This
allows the CCPRx registers to serve as a programm able
period register for either timer.
The Special Event Trigger for CCP2 can also start an
A/D conversion. In order to do this, the A/D converter
must already be enabled.
FIGURE 11-2: COMPARE MODE OPERATION BLOCK DIAGRAM
Note: Clearing the CCPxCON register will force
the CCPx compare output latch (depend-
ing on device configuration) to the default
low level. This is not the PORTB or

11.4 PWM Mode
The PWM mode generates a Pulse-Width Modulated
signal on the CCP2 pin for the CCP module and the
P1A through P1D pins for the ECCP module. Hereafter
the modulated output pin will be referred to as the CCPx
pin. The duty cycle, period and resolution are
determined by the following registers:
•PR2
•T2CON
CCPRxL
CCPxCON
In Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) mode, the CCP
module produce s up to a 10 -bit resol ution PWM outp ut
on the CCPx pin. Since the CCPx pin is multiplexed

11.4.1 PW M PE RIO D
The PWM period is specified by the PR2 register of
Timer2. The PWM period can be calculated using the
formula of Equation 11-1.
EQUATION 11-1: PWM PERIOD
When TM R2 is equa l to PR2, t he followi ng three ev ents
occur on t he next incremen t cycle:
TMR2 is cl eare d
The CCPx pin is set. (Exception: If the PWM duty
cycle = 0%, the pin will not be set.)
The PWM dut y cyc le is la tched from CCPRxL into
CCPRxH.
11.4.2 PW M DUTY CYCL E
The PWM duty cycle is specified by writing a 10-bit
value to multiple registers: CCPRxL register and
DCxB<1:0> bits of the CCPxCON register. The
CCPRxL contains the eight MSbs and the DCxB<1:0>
bits of the CCPxCON register contain the two LSbs.
CCPRxL and DCxB<1:0> bits of the CCPxCON
register can be written to at any time. The duty cycle
value is not latched into CCPRxH unti l afte r the pe ri od
completes (i.e., a match between PR2 and TMR2
registers occurs). While using the PWM, the CCPRxH
register is read-on ly.
Equation 11-2 is used to calculate the PWM pulse
width.
Equation 11-3 is used to calculate the PWM duty cycle
ratio.
EQUATION 11-2: PULSE WIDTH
EQUATION 11-3: DUTY CYCLE RATIO
The CCPRxH register and a 2-bit internal latch are
used to dou ble buf fer th e PWM duty cycle. Thi s doubl e
buffering is essential for gl itchless PWM operation.
The 8-bit timer TMR2 register is concatenated with
either the 2-bit internal system clock (FOSC), or 2 bits of
the prescaler , to create the 10-bit time ba se. The system
clock is used if the Timer2 pres caler is s et to 1:1.
When the 10-bit time base matches the CCPRxH and
2-bit latch, then the CCPx pin is cleared (see
Figure 11-3).
Note: The Timer2 postscaler (see Section 14.1
“Timer2 Operation”) is not used in the
determination of the PWM frequency.

11.4.4 OPERATIO N IN POWER-M ANAGED
MODES
In Sleep mode, the TMR2 register will not increment
and the state of the mo dule will no t change . If the C CPx
pin is dri ving a value , it wi ll cont inue to d rive th at valu e.
When the device wakes up, TMR2 wil l continue from it s
previous state.
In PRI_IDLE mode, the primary clock will continue to
clock the CCP module without change. In all other
power-managed modes, the selected power-managed
mode clock will clock Timer2. Other power-managed
mode clocks will most likely be different than the
primary clock frequency.
11.4.5 CHANGES IN SYSTEM CLOCK
FREQUENCY
The PWM frequency is derived from the system clock
frequency. Any changes in the system clock frequency
will result in changes to the PWM frequency. See
Section 2.0 “Oscillator Module (With Fail-Safe
Clock Monitor)” for ad ditional details.
11.4.6 EFFECTS OF RESET
Any Reset will force all ports to Input mode and the
CCP registers to their Reset states.
11.4.7 SETUP FOR PWM OPERATION
The following steps should be taken when configuring
the CCP module for PWM operation:
1. Disable the PWM pin (CCPx) output drivers by
setting the associated TRIS bit.
2. For the ECCP module only: Select the desired
PWM outputs (P1A through P1D) by setting the
appropriate steering bits of the PSTRCON
register.
3. Set the PWM period by loading the PR2 register .
4. Configure the CCP module for the PWM mode
by loading the CCPxCON register with the
appropriate values.
5. Set the PWM duty cycle by loading t he CCPRxL
register and CCPx bits of the CCPxCON register .
6. Configure and start Timer2:
Clear the TMR2IF interrupt flag bit of the
PIR1 register.
Set the T im er2 pres cale value by loa din g the
T2CKPS bits of the T2CON register.
Enabl e Timer2 by se tting the TMR2O N bit of
the T2CON register.
7. Enable PW M ou tput af ter a new PWM c ycle has
started:
Wait until Timer2 overflows (TMR2IF bit of
the PIR1 register is set).
Enable the CCPx pin output driver by
clearing the associated TRIS bit.

12.0 TIMER0 MODULE
The Timer0 module incorporates the following fea-
tures:
Software selectable operation as a timer or coun-
ter in both 8-bit or 16-bit modes
Readable and writable registers
Dedicated 8-bit, software programmable
prescaler
Selectable clock source (internal or e x ternal)
Edge select for external clock
Interrupt-on-overflow
The T0CON register (Register 12-1) controls all
aspects of the module’s operation, including the
prescale selection. It is both readable and writable.
A simplified block diagram of the Timer0 m odule in 8-bit
mode is shown in Figure 12-1. Figure 12-2 shows a
simplified block diagram of the Timer0 module in 16-bit

12.1 Timer0 Operation
Timer0 can operate as either a timer or a counter; the
mode is selected with the T0CS bit of the T0CON
register. In Timer mode (T0CS = 0), the module
increments on every clock by default unless a different
prescaler value is selected (see Section 12.3
“Prescaler”). Timer0 incrementing is inhibited for two
instruction cycles following a TMR0 register write. The
user can work around this by adjusting the value written
to the T MR0 reg is ter to co mpensate fo r th e a nti ci p ate d
missi ng inc rem en t s.
The Counter mode is selected by setting the T0CS bit
(= 1). In this mode, Timer0 increments either on every
rising or fal ling edge of pi n RA4/T0CKI . The increme nt-
ing edge is determined by the Timer0 Source Edge
Select bit , T0SE of the T0CON regi ster; clearing th is bit
selects the rising edge. Restrictions on the external
clock input are dis cuss ed below.
An external clock source can be used to drive Timer0;
however, it must meet certain requirements (see
Table 26-11) to ensure that the external clock can be
synchronized with the internal phase clock (TOSC).
There is a delay between synchronization and the
ons et of incrementing the timer/counter.
12.2 Timer0 Reads and Writes in
16-Bit Mode
TMR0H is not the actual high byte of Timer0 in 16-bit
mode; it is actually a buffered version of the real high
byte of Timer0 which is neither directly readable nor
writable (refer to Figure 12-2). TMR0H is updated with
the conte nts of the h igh by te of Timer0 durin g a r ead of
TMR0L. This provides the ability to read all 16 bits of
Timer0 without the need to verify that the read of the
high and low byte were valid. Invalid reads could
otherwise occur due to a rollover between successive
reads of the high and low byte.
Similarly, a write to the high byte of Timer0 must also
take place through the TMR0H Buffer register. Writing
to TMR0H does not directly affect Timer0. Instead, the
high byte of Timer0 is updated with the contents of
TMR0H when a write occurs to TMR0L. This allow s all
16 bits of Timer0 to be updated at once.

12.3 Prescaler
An 8-bi t counter i s availabl e as a presc aler for the T imer0
module. The prescaler is not directly readable or writable;
its value is set by the PSA and T0PS<2:0> bits of the
T0CON register which determine the prescaler
assi gn me nt and pre sc a le ratio.
Clearing the PSA bit assigns the prescaler to the
Timer0 module. When the prescaler is assigned,
prescale values from 1:2 through 1:256 in integer
power-of-2 increments are selectable.
When assigned to the Timer0 module, all instructions
writing to the TMR0 register (e.g., CLRF TMR0, MOVWF
TMR0, BSF TMR0, etc.) clear the prescaler count.
12.3.1 SWIT CHI NG PRE SC ALER
ASSIGNMENT
The prescaler assignment is fully under software
control and can be changed “on-the-fly” during program
execution.
12.4 Timer0 Interrupt
The TMR0 interrupt is generated when the TMR0 reg-
ister overflows from FFh to 00h in 8-bit mode, or from
FFFFh to 0000h in 16-bit mode. This overflow sets the
TMR0IF flag bit. The inte rrupt can be masked by cle ar-
ing the TMR0IE bit of the INTCON register. Before
re-enabling the interrupt, the TMR0IF bit must be
cleared by software in the Interrupt Service Routine.
Since Timer0 is shut down in Sleep mode, the TMR0
interrupt cannot awaken the processor from Sleep.

13.0 TIMER1 MODULE
The Timer1 timer/counter module incorporates the
following features:
Software selectable operation as a 16-bit timer or
counter
Readable and writable 8-bit registers (TMR1H
and TMR1L)
Selectable internal or e xternal clock source and
Timer1 oscillator options
Interrupt-on-overflow

A simplified block diagram of the Timer1 module is
shown in Fi gure 13-1. A bloc k di agram of the mod ule s
operatio n in Read /Wr ite mode is shown in Fig ure 13-2.
The module incorporates its own low-power oscillator
to provide an additional clocking option. The Timer1
oscillator can also be used as a low-power clock source
for the microcontroller in power-managed operation.
Timer1 can also be used to provide Real-Time Clock
(RTC) functionality to applications with only a minimal
addition of external components and code overhead.
Timer1 is controlled through the T1CON Control
register (Register 13-1). It also contains the Timer1
Oscillator Enable bit (T1OSCEN). Timer1 can be
enabled or disabled by setting or clearing control bit,
TMR1ON of the T1CON register.

13.1 Timer1 Operation
Timer1 can operate in one of the following modes:
•Timer
Synchronous Counter
Asynchronous Counter
The operating mode is determined by the clock select
bit, TMR1CS of the T1CON register . When TMR1CS is
cleared (= 0), Timer1 increments on every internal
instr uction cyc le (FOSC/4). When the bi t is set, Timer 1
increments on every rising edge of either the Timer1
external clock input or the Timer1 oscillator, if enabled.
When the Timer1 oscillator is enabled, the digital
circuitry associated with the RC1/T1OSI and
RC0/T1OSO/T13CKI pins is disabled. This means the
values of TRISC<1:0> are ignored and the pins are
read as 0’.

13.2 Clock Source Selection
The TMR1CS bit of the T1CON register is used to
select the clock source. When TMR1CS = 0, the c lo ck
source is FOSC/4. When TM R1CS = 1, the clock source
is supplied externally.
13.2.1 INTERNAL CLOCK SOURCE
When the internal clock source is selected, the
TMR1H:TMR1L register pair will increment on multiples
of TCY as determined by the Timer1 presc aler.
13.2.2 EXTERNAL CLOCK SOURCE
When the external clock source is selected, the Timer1
module may wo rk as a timer or a cou nter.
When counting, Timer1 is incremented on the rising
edge of the external clock input T1CKI. In addition, the
Counter mode clock can be synchronized to the
microcontroller system clock or run async hronously.
If an external clock oscillator is needed (and the
microc ontroller is using the INT OSC withou t CLKOUT),
Timer1 can use the LP oscillator as a clock source.
13.2.3 READING AND WRITING T IMER1 IN
ASYNCHRONOUS COUNTER
MODE
Reading TMR1H or TMR1L while the timer is running
from an e xternal asyn chronous cl ock will ens ure a valid
read (taken care of in hardware). However, the user
should keep i n mind that rea ding t he 16-bi t time r in tw o
8-bit values itself, poses certain problems, since the
timer may overflow between the reads.
For writes , it is re commend ed that th e user s imply sto p
the timer and write the desired values. A write
conte ntion may occ ur by w ritin g to th e timer regist ers,
while the register is incrementing. This may produce an
unpredictable value in the TMR1H:TTMR1L register
pair.
13.3 Timer1 Prescaler
Timer1 has four prescaler options allowing 1, 2, 4 or 8
divisions of the clock input. The T1CKPS bits of the
T1CON register control the prescale counter. The
prescale counter is not directly readable or writable;
however , the prescaler counter is cleared upon a write to
TMR1H or TMR1L.
13.4 Timer1 Operation in
Asynchronous Counter Mode
If control bit T1SYNC of the T1CON register is set, the
external clock input is not synchronized. The timer
continues to increment asynchronous to the internal
phase clocks. The timer will continue to run during
Sleep and can generate an interrupt on overflow,
which will wake-up the processor. However, special
precautions in software are needed to read/write the
timer (see Section 13.2.3 “Reading and Writing
Timer1 in Asynchronous Counter Mode”).
FIGURE 13-3: TIMER1 INCREMENTING EDGE

13.5 Timer1 16-Bit Read/Write Mode
Timer1 can be configured for 16-bit reads and writes
(see Figure 13-2). When the RD16 control bit of the
T1CON register is set, the address for TMR1H is
mapped to a b uffer regi ste r fo r the hi gh by te o f Timer1.
A read from TMR1L will load the contents of the high
byte of Timer1 into the Timer1 high byte buffer. This
provi des th e us er with the abil it y to acc urat ely rea d all
16 bits of Timer1 without the need to determine
whether a read of the high byte, followed by a read of
the low byte, has become invalid due to a rollover or
carry between reads.
Writing to TMR1H does not directly affect Timer1.
Instead, the high byte of Timer1 is updated with the
contents of TMR1H when a write occurs to TMR1L.
This all ow s a ll 1 6 bits of Timer1 to be updated at onc e.
The high byte of Timer1 is not directly readable or
writable in this mode. All reads and writes must take
place through the Timer1 High Byte Buffer register.
Writes to TMR1H do not clear the Timer1 prescaler.
The prescaler is only cleared on writes to TMR1L.
13.6 Timer1 Oscillator
An on-chip crystal oscillator circuit is incorporated
between pins T1OSI (input) and T1OSO (amplifier
output). It is enabled by setting the Timer1 Oscillator
Enable bit, T1OSCEN of the T1CON register. The
oscillator is a low-power ci rcuit rated for 32 kHz cryst als.
It will continue to run during all power-managed modes.
The circuit for a typical LP oscillator is shown in
Figure 13-4. Table 13-1 shows the capacitor selection
for the Timer1 oscillator.
The user m us t prov id e a so ftware tim e de lay to en su re
proper start-up of the Timer1 oscillator.

T ABLE 13-1: CAPACITOR SELECTION FOR

13.6.1 USING TIMER1 AS A
CLOCK SOURCE
The Timer1 oscillator is also available as a clock
source in power-managed modes. By setting the clock
select bits, SCS<1:0> of the OSCCON register, to 01’,
the device switches to SEC_RUN mode; both the CPU
and peripherals are clocked from the Timer1 oscillator.
If the IDLEN bit of the OSCCON register is cleared and
a SLEEP instruction is executed, the device enters
SEC_IDLE mode. Additional details are available in
Section 3.0 “Pow er-M anaged Modes”.
Whenever the Timer1 oscillator is providing the clock
source, the T imer1 system clock status flag, T1RUN of
the T1CON register, is s et. T his c an be used to d eter -
mine th e c ontroller’s current clocking m od e. I t can also
indicate which clock source is currently being used by
the Fail-Safe Clock Monitor. If the Clock Monitor is
enabled and the Timer1 oscillator fails while providing
the clock, polling the T1RUN bit will indicate whether
the clock is being provided by the Timer1 oscillator or
another source.
Note: See the Notes with Table 13-1 for additional
information about capacitor selection.

13.6.2 LOW-POWER TIMER1 OPTION
The Timer1 oscillator can operate at two distinct levels
of power consumption based on device configuration.
When the LPT1OSC Configuration bit of the
CONFIG3H register is set, the Timer1 oscillator oper-
ates in a low-power mode. When LPT1OSC is not set,
Timer1 operates at a higher power level. Power con-
sumption for a particular mode is relatively constant,
regardles s of th e de vic e’s operati ng m od e. Th e default
Timer1 configuration is the higher power mode.
As the low-power Timer1 mode tends to be more
sensitive to interference, high noise environments may
cause some oscillator instability . The low-power option is,
therefore, best suited for low noise applications where
power conservation is an important design consideration.
13.6.3 TIMER1 OSCILLATOR LAYOUT
CONSIDERATIONS
The Timer1 oscillator circuit draws very little power
during operation. Due to the low-power nature of the
oscillator, it may also be sensitive to rapidly changing
signals in close proximity.
The oscillator circuit, shown in Figure 13-4, should be
located as close as possible to the microcontroller.
There should be no circuits passing within the oscillator
circuit boundaries other than VSS or VDD.
If a hig h-s pee d cir cui t m us t b e l oc ate d n ear the osc ill a-
tor (such as the CCP1 pin in Output Compare or PWM
mode, or the primary oscillator using the OSC2 pin), a
grounded guard ring around the oscillator circuit, as
shown in Figure 13-5, may be helpful when used on a
single-sided PCB or in addition to a ground plane.
FIGURE 13-5: OSCILLATOR CIRCUIT

13.7 Timer1 Interrupt
The TMR1 register pair (TMR1H:TMR1L) increments
from 0000h to FFFFh and rolls over to 0000h. The
Timer1 interrupt, if enabled, is generated on overflow,
which is latched in the TMR1IF interrupt flag bit of the
PIR1 reg ister . This i nterrupt can be enabled o r disabled
by setting or clearing the TMR1IE Interrupt Enable bit
of the PIE1 register.
13.8 Resetting Timer1 Using the CCP
S pecial Event Trigger
If either of the CCP modules is configured to use Timer1
and generate a Special Event T rigger in C ompare mode
(CCP1M<3:0> or CCP2M<3:0> = 1011), this signal will
reset Timer1. The trigger from CCP2 will also start an
A/D conversion if the A/D module is enabled (see
Section 11.3.4 “Special Event Trigger” for more
information).
The module must be configured as either a timer or a
synch rono us cou nte r to t ak e a dva nt age of this fe atur e.
When used this way, the CCPRH:CCPRL register pair
effectively becom es a period regi ste r for Timer1 .
If Timer1 is running in Asynchronous Counter mode,
this Reset operation may not work.
In the event that a write to Timer1 coincides with a
special Event Trigger, the write operation will take
precedence.

13.9 Using Timer1 as a Real-Time Clock
Adding an extern al LP os cilla tor to Tim er1 (such a s the
one described in Section 13.6 “Timer1 Oscillator”
above) giv es users the opti on to inc lu de RTC functio n-
ality to their applications. This is accomplished with an
inexpensive watch crystal to provide an accurate time
base and several lines of application code to calculate
the time. When operating in Sleep mode and using a
battery or supercapacitor as a power source, it can
completely eliminate the need for a separate RTC
dev ice and bat tery back up.
The application code routine, RTCisr, shown in
Example 13-1, demonstrates a simple method to
increment a counter at one-second intervals using an
Interrupt Service Routine. Incrementing the TMR1
register pair to overflow triggers the interrupt and calls
the routine, which increments the seconds counter by
one; additional counters for minutes and hours are
incremented on overflows of the less significant
counters.
Since the register pair is 16 bits wide, a 32.768 kHz
clock source will take 2 seconds to count up to over-
flow. To force the overflow at the required one-second
intervals, it is necessary to preload it; the simplest
method i s to set the MSb of TMR1H with a BSF instruc-
tion. Note that the TMR1L register is never preloaded
or altered; doing so may introduce cumulative error
over many cycl es .
For this m ethod to be a ccurate, T imer 1 must o perate in
Asynchronous mode and the Timer1 overflow interrupt
must be enabled (PIE1<0> = 1), as shown in the
routine, RTCinit. The Timer1 oscillator must also be
enabled and running at all times.

14.0 TIMER2 MODULE
The Timer2 module timer incorporates the following
features:
8-bit timer and period registers (TMR2 and PR2,
respectively)
Readable and writable (both registers)
Software programmable prescaler (1:1, 1:4 and
1:16)
Software programmable postscaler (1:1 through
1:16)
Interrupt on TMR2-to-PR2 match
Optional use as the shift clock for the MSSP
module
The module is controlled through the T2CON register
(Register 14-1), which enables or disables the timer
and configures the prescaler and postscaler. Timer2
can be shut off by clearing control bit, TMR2ON of the
T2CON register, to minimize power consumption.
A simplified block diagram of the module is shown in
Figure 14-1.
14.1 Timer2 Operation
In normal op eration, TMR2 is incremen ted from 00h on
each clock (FOSC/4). A 4-bit counter/prescaler on the
clock input gives direct input, divide-by-4 and
divide-by-16 prescale options; these are selected by
the pres caler contro l bits, T 2CKPS<1:0> of the T2CON
register. The value of TMR2 is compared to that of the
period register, PR2, on each clock cycle. When the
two values match, the comparator generates a match
signal as the timer output. This signal also resets the
value of TMR2 to 00h on the next cycle and drives the
output counter/postscaler (see Section 14.2 “Timer2
Interrupt”).
The TMR2 and PR2 registers are both directl y readable
and writable. The TMR2 register is cleared on any
device Reset, whereas the PR2 register initializes to
FFh. Both the prescaler and postscaler counters are
cleared on the following events:
a write to the TMR2 register
a write to the T2CON register
any device Reset (Power-on Reset, MCLR Reset,
Watchdog Timer Reset or Brown-out Reset)
TMR2 is not cleared when T2CON is written.

14.2 Timer2 Interrupt
Timer2 can also generate an optional device interrupt.
The Timer2 output signal (TMR2-to-PR2 match) pro-
vides the input for the 4-bit output counter/postscaler.
This coun ter gen erat es th e TMR2 m atc h inter rupt flag
which is latched in TMR2IF of the PIR1 register. The
interrupt is enabled by setting the TMR2 Match Inter-
rupt Enable bit, TMR2IE of the PIE1 register.
A range of 16 postscale op tio ns (fro m 1 :1 through 1:1 6
inclusive) can be selected with the postscaler control
bits, T2OUTPS<3:0> of the T2CON register.
14.3 Timer2 Output
The unscaled output of TMR2 is available primarily to
the CCP modules, where it is used as a time base for
operat io ns in PWM mo de.

15.1 Timer3 Operation
Timer3 can operate in one of three modes:
•Timer
Synchronous Counter
Asynchronous Counter
The operating mode is determined by the clock select
bit, TMR3CS of the T3CON register . When TMR3CS is
cleared (= 0), Timer3 increments on every internal
instr uction cyc le (FOSC/4). When the bi t is set, Timer 3
increme nt s on ev ery ris ing edg e o f the Timer1 ext erna l
clock input or the Timer1 oscillator, if enabled.
As with Timer1, the digital circuitry associated with the
RC1/T1OSI and RC0/T1OSO/T13CKI pins is disabled
when the Timer1 oscillator is enabled. This means the
values of TRISC<1:0> are ignored and the pins are
read as 0’.

FIGURE 15-2: TIMER3 BLOCK DIAGRAM (16-BIT READ/WRITE MODE)
15.2 Timer3 16-Bit Read/Write Mode
Timer3 can be configured for 16-bit reads and writes
(see Figure 15-2). When the RD16 control bit of the
T3CON register is set, the address for TMR3H is
mapped to a b uffer regi ste r fo r the hi gh by te o f Timer3.
A read from TMR3L will load the contents of the high
byte of Timer3 into the Timer3 High Byte Buffer regis-
ter. This provides the user with the ability to accurately
read all 16 bits of Timer1 without having to determine
whether a read of the high byte, followed by a read of
the low byte, has become invalid due to a rollover
between reads.
A write to the high byte of Timer3 must also take place
through the TMR3H Buffer register. The Timer3 high
byte is updated with the contents of TMR3H when a
write occurs to TMR3L. This allows a user to write all
16 bit s to both the high and l ow bytes of Ti mer3 at once.
The high byte of Timer3 is not directly readable or
writable in this mode. All reads and writes must take
place through the Timer3 High Byte Buffer register.
Writes to TMR3H do not clear the Timer3 prescaler.
The prescaler is only cleared on writes to TMR3L.
15.3 Using the Timer1 Oscillat or as the
Timer3 Clock Source
The T i mer1 inte rnal oscil lator may be used as the clock
source for Timer3. The Timer1 oscillator is enabled by
setting th e T1OSCEN bit of the T1 CON register . To use
it as the Timer3 clock source, the TMR3CS bit must
also be set. As previously noted, this also configures
Timer3 to increment on every rising edge of the
oscillator source.
The Timer1 oscillator is described in Section 13.0
“Tim er 1 Mod ule” .
15.4 Timer3 Interrupt
The TMR3 register pair (TMR3H:TMR3L) increments
from 0000h to FFFFh and overflows to 0000h. The
Timer3 interrupt, if enabled, is generated on overflow
and is latched in interrupt flag bit, TMR3IF of the PIR2
register. This interrupt can be enabled or disabled by
setting or clearing the Timer3 Interrupt Enable bit,
TMR3IE of the PIE2 register.

15.5 Resetting Timer3 Using the CCP
S pecial Event Trigger
If either of the CCP modules is configured to use
Timer3 and to generate a Special Event Trigger
in Compare mode (CCP1M<3:0> or CCP2M<3:0> =
1011), this signal will reset Timer3. It will also start an
A/D conversion if the A/D module is enabled (see
Section 11.3.4 “Special Event Trigger” for more
information).
The module must be configured as either a timer or
synch rono us cou nte r to t a ke a dv antage of thi s fe atu re.
When used this way, the CCPR2H:CCPR2L register
pair effectively becomes a period register for Timer3.
If Timer3 is running in Asynchronous Counter mode,
the Reset operation may not work.
In the event that a write to Timer3 coincides with a
S pecial Event Trigger from a CCP module, the write will
take precedence.

Provision for 2 or 4 output channels
Output steering
Programmable polarity
Programmable dead-band control
Automatic shutdown and restart.
The enhanced features are discussed in detail in
Section 16.4 “PWM (Enhanced Mode)”. Capture,
Compare and single-output PWM functions of the
ECCP module are the same as described for the
standard CCP module.
The control register for the enhanced CCP module is
shown in Register 16-1. It differs from the CCP2CON
register in that the two Most Significant bits are
implemented to control PWM functionality.

In addition to the expanded range of modes available
through the CCP1CON register and ECCP1AS
register, the ECCP mo dule h as two additi onal re giste rs
associated with Enhanced PWM operation and
auto-shutdown features. They are:
PWM1CON (Dead-band delay)
PSTRCON (output steering)
16.1 ECCP Outputs and Configuration
The enhanced CC P m od ule m ay ha ve up to four PWM
outputs, depending on the selected operating mode.
These outputs, designated P1A through P1D, are
multiplexed with I/O pins on PORTC and PORTD (for
PIC18F4XK20 devices) or PORTB (for PIC18F2XK20
devices). The outputs that are active depend on the
CCP operating mode selected. The pin assignments
are summarized in Table 16-1.
To configure the I/O pins as PWM outputs, the proper
PWM mode must be selec ted by s et t ing th e P1M <1:0>
and CCP1M<3:0> bits. The appropriate TRISC and
TRISD direction bits for the port pins must also be set
as outputs.
16.1.1 ECCP MODULES AND TIMER
RESOURCES
Like the standard CCP modules, the ECCP module ca n
utilize Timers 1, 2 or 3, depending on the mode
select ed. Timer1 and Timer3 are a va ila ble for m od ule s
in Capture or Compare modes, while Timer2 is
available for modules in PWM mode. Interactions
betwee n the stand ard and enhanc ed CCP modul es are
identic al to those d escribed fo r standard CCP modules .
Additional details on timer resources are provided in
Section 11.1.1 “CCP Modules and Timer
Resources”.
16.2 Capture and Compare Modes
Except for the operation of the Special Event Trigger
discussed below, the Capture and Compare modes of
the ECCP module are identical in operation to that of
CCP2. These are discussed in detail in Section 11.2
“Capture Mode” and Section 11.3 “Compare
Mode”. No changes are required when moving
between 28-pin and 40/44-pin devices.
16.2.1 SPECIAL EVENT TRIGGER
The Special Event Trigger output of ECCP1 resets the
TMR1 o r TMR3 regist er pa ir , depe nding on w hich timer
resource is currently selected. This allows the CCPR1
register to effectively be a 16-bit programmable period
register for Timer1 or Timer3.
16.3 Standard PWM Mode
When configured in Single Output mode, the ECCP
module functions identically to the standard CCP
module in PWM mode, as described in Section 11.4
“PWM Mode”. This is also sometimes referred to as
“Single CCP” mode, as in Table 16-1.
2010 Microchip Technology Inc. DS41303G-page 175
PIC18F2XK20/4XK20
16.4 PWM (Enhanced Mode)
The Enhanced PWM Mode can generate a PWM signal
on up to four different output pins with up to 10-bits of
resolution. It can do this through four different PWM
output modes:
Single PWM
Half-Bridge PWM
Full-Bridge PWM, Fo rward mode
Full-Bridge PWM, Reverse mode
To select an Enhanced PWM mode, the P1M bits of the
CCP1CON register must be set appropriately.
The PWM outputs are multiplexed with I/O pins and are
designated P1A, P1B, P1C and P1D. The polarity of the
PWM pins is configurable and is selected by setting the
CCP1M bits in the CC P1CON register appropriately.
Table 16-1 shows the pin assignments for each
Enhanced PWM mode.
Figure 16-1 shows an example of a simplified block
diagram of the Enhanced PWM module.

Note: The PWM Enhanc ed mode is avai lable on
the Enhanced Capture/Compare/PWM
module (CCP1) only.
Note: To prevent the generation of an
incomplete waveform when the PWM is
first enabl ed, the ECCP module w aits unti l
the start of a new PWM period before
generating a PWM signal.

16.4.1 HALF-BRIDGE MODE
In Half-Bridge mode, two pins are used as outputs to
drive push-pull lo ad s. The PWM output sign al is output
on the CCPx/P1A pin, while the complementary PWM
output signal is output on the P1B pin (see
Figure 16-5). This mode can be used for Half-Bridge
applications, as shown in Figu re 16-5, or for Full-Bridge
applications, where four power switches are being
modulated with two PWM signals.
In Half-Bridge mode, the programmable dead-band delay
can be used to prevent shoot-through current in
Half-Bridge power devices. The value of the PDC<6:0>
bits of the PWM1CON register sets the number of
instruction cycles before the output is driven active. If the
value is greater than the duty cycle, the corresponding
output remains inactive during the entire cycle. See
Section 16.4.6 “Programmable Dead-Band Delay
mode” for more details of the dead-band delay
operations.
Since the P1A and P1B outputs are multiplexed with
the PORT data latches, the associated TRIS bits must
be cleared to configure P1A and P1B as outputs.

16.4.2 FULL-BRIDGE MODE
In Full-Bridge mode, all four pins are used as outputs.
An example of Full-Bridge application is shown in
Figure 16-6.
In the Forward mode, pin CCP1/P1A is driven to its
active state, pin P1D is modulated, while P1B and P1C
will be driven to their inactive state as shown in
Figure 16-7.
In the Reverse mode, P1C is driven to its active state,
pin P1B is modulated, while P1A and P1D wi l l be driv en

16.4.2.1 Direction Change in Full-Bridge
Mode
In the Full-Bridge mode, the P1M1 bit in the CCP1CON
register allows users to control the forward/reverse
direction. When the application firmware changes this
direction co ntrol bit, the modu le will change to the new
direction on the next PWM cycle.
A direction change is initiated in software by changing
the P1M1 bit of the CCP1CON register. The following
sequence occurs prior to the end of the current PWM
period:
The modu lated output s (P1B and P1D) are placed
in their inactive state.
The associated unmodulated outputs (P1A and
P1C) are switched to drive in the opposite
direction.
PWM mo dulati on resumes at the be ginnin g of the
next period.
See Figure 16-8 for an illustration of this sequence.
The Full-Bridge mode does not provide dead-band
delay. As one outpu t is modulated at a tim e, dead-band
delay is generally not required. There is a situation
where dead-band delay is required. This situation
occurs when both of the following conditions are true:
1. The direction of the PWM output changes when
the duty cycle of the output is at or near 100%.
2. The turn off time of the power switch, including
the power device and driver circuit, is greater
than the turn on time.
Figure 16-9 shows an example of the PWM direction
chan gi ng from for w ar d to rev ers e , at a ne ar 100% duty
cycle. In this example, at time t1, the output P1A and
P1D become inactive, while output P1C becomes
active. Since the turn off time of the power devices is
longer than the turn on time, a shoot-through current
will flow through power devices QC and QD (see
Figure 16-6) for the duration of ‘t’. The same
phenomenon will occur to power devices QA and QB
for PWM di rec t io n ch an ge from reve rs e to forwa rd.
If changing PWM direction at high duty cycle is required
for an app lication, two possible solutions f or eliminatin g
the shoot-through current are:
1. Reduce PWM duty cycle for one PWM period
before changing directions.
2. Use switch drivers that can drive the switches of f
faster than they can drive them on.
Other options to prevent shoot-through current may
exist.

Note 1: The direction bit P1M1 of the CCP1CON register is written any time during the PWM cycle.
2: When changing directions, the P1A and P1C signals switch before the end of the current PWM c ycle. The

16.4.3 START-UP CONSIDERATIONS
When any PWM mode is used, the application
hardware must use the proper external pull-up and/or
pull-down resistors on the PWM output pins.
The CCP1M<1:0> bits of the CCP1CON register allow
the us er t o ch oose whe the r th e P WM output si gna ls are
active-high or active-low for each pair of PWM output pins
(P1A/P1C and P1B/P1D). The PWM output polarities
must be selecte d bef ore the PWM pi n output driv ers ar e
enabled. Changing the polarity configuration while the
PWM pin outpu t dr ivers ar e enab le is no t recomme nde d
since it may result in damage to the application circuits.
The P1A, P1B, P1C and P 1D output latches may not be
in the proper states when the PWM module is
initialized. Enabling the PWM pin output drivers at the
same time as the Enhanced PWM modes may cause
damage to the applic ati on circuit. The En han ce d PWM
modes must be enabled in the proper Output mode and
complete a full PWM cycle before enabling the PWM
pin output drivers. The completion of a full PWM cycle
is indicated by the TMR2IF bit of the PIR1 register
being set as th e second PWM pe riod begins.

16.4.4 ENHANCED PWM
AUTO-SHUTDOWN MODE
The PWM mode supports an Auto-Shutdow n m ode that
will disable the PWM outputs when an external
shutdown event occurs. Auto-Shutdown mode places
the PWM output pins into a predetermined state. This
mode is used to help prevent the PWM from damaging
the application.
The auto-shutdown sources are selected using the
ECCPAS<2:0> bits of the ECCP1AS register. A
shutdow n event ma y be generated by :
•A logic0’ on the FLT0 pin
Comparator C1
Comparator C2
Setting the ECCPASE bit in firmware
A shutdown condition is indicated by the ECCPASE
(Auto-Shutdown Event Status) bit of the ECCP1AS
register. If the bit is a0’, t he P WM pin s ar e oper ating
normally. If the bit is a ‘1’, the PWM outputs are in the
shutdown state.
When a shutdow n event oc curs, two things ha ppen:
The ECCPASE bit is set to ‘1’. The ECCPASE will
remain set until cleared in firmware or an auto-restart
occurs (see Section 16.4.5 “Auto-Restart Mode”).
The enabled PWM pins are asynchronously placed in
their shutdown states. The PWM output pins are
grouped into pairs [P1A/P1C] and [P1B/P1D]. The state
of each pin pair is determined by the PSSAC and
PSSBD bits of the ECCP1AS register . Each pin pair may
be placed into one of three st ates:

16.4.5 AUTO-RESTART MODE
The Enhanced PWM can be configured to automati-
cally restart the PWM signal once the auto-shutdown
condition has been removed. Auto-restart is enabled by
setting the PRSEN bit in the PWM1CON register.
If auto-restart is enabled, the ECCPASE bit will remain
set as long as the auto-shutdown condition is active.
When the auto-shutdown condition is removed, the
ECCPASE bit will be cleared via hardware and normal
operation will resume.
FIGURE 16-11: PWM AUTO-SHUTDOWN WITH AUTO-RESTART ENABLED (PRSEN = 1)
Note 1: The auto-shutdown condition is a
level-based signal, not an edge-based
signal . As l ong as the level is p resent , the
auto-shutdown will persist.
2: Writing to the ECCPASE bit is disabled
while an auto-shutdown condition
persists.
3: Once the auto-shutdown condition has
been removed and the PWM restarted
(either through firmware or auto-restart)
the PWM signal will always restart at the

16.4.6 PROGRAMMABLE DEAD-BAND
DELAY MODE
In Half-Bridge applications where all power switches
are modulated at the PWM frequency, the power
switches normally require more time to turn off than to
turn on. If b oth the u pper and lowe r power swit ches ar e
switched at the same time (one turned on, and the
other turned off), both switches may be on for a short
period of time until one switch completely turns off.
During this brief interval, a very high current
(shoot-through current) will flow through both power
switches, shorting the bridge supply. To avoid this
potentially destructive shoot-through current from
flowin g d urin g s witc hin g, tu rning on eithe r of th e power
switches is normally delayed to allow the other switch
to completely turn off.
In Half-Bridge mode, a digitally programmable
dead-band delay is available to avoid shoot-through
current fro m destroying the bri dge power switc hes. The
delay occurs at the signal transition from the non-active
state to the active state. See Figure 16-12 for
illustration. The lower seven bits of the associated
PWM1CON register (Register 16-3) sets the delay
period in terms of microcontroller instruction cycles
(TCY or 4 TOSC).

16.4.7 PULSE STEERING MODE
In Sing le Output mode, pul se steering all ows any of the
PWM pins to be t he modulated sig nal . Addi tio nal ly, the
same PWM signal can be simultaneously available on
multiple pins.
Once the Single Output mode is selected
(CCP1M<3:2> = 11 and P1M<1:0> = 00 of the
CCP1CON register), the user firmware can bring out
the same PWM signal to one, two, three or four output
pins by setting the appropriate STR<D:A> bits of the
PSTRCON register, as shown in Table 16-1.
While th e PWM Steering mode is ac ti ve, CCP1M<1:0 >
bits of the CCP1CON register select the PWM output
polarity for the P1<D:A> pins.
The PWM auto-shutdown operation also applies to
PWM Steering mode as described in Section 16.4.4
“Enhanced PWM Auto-shutdown mode”. An
auto-shutdown event will only affect pins that have
PWM outputs enabled.
Note: The associated TRIS bits must be set to
output (‘0) to enable the pin output driver
in or der to s ee the PWM s ign al on the pi n.

16.4.7.1 Steering Synchronization
The STRSYNC bit of the PSTRCON register gives the
user two selections of when the steering event will
happen. When the STRSYNC bit is ‘0’, the steering
event will happen at the end of the instruction that
writes to the PSTRCON register. In this case, the
output signal at the P1<D:A> pins may be an
incomplete PWM waveform. This operation is useful
when the user firmware needs to immediately remove
a PWM signal from the pin.
When the STRSYNC bit is ‘1’, the effective steering
update will happen at the beginning of the next PWM
period. In this case, steering on/off the PWM output will
always produce a complete PWM waveform.
Figures 16-15 and 16-16 illustra te the timing diagrams
of the PWM steering depending on the STRSYNC
setting.

16.4.8 OPE RATION IN POWER-M ANAGED
MODES
In Sleep mode, all clock sources are disabled. Timer2
will not increment and the state of the module will not
change. If the ECCP pin is driving a value, it will con-
tinue to drive that value. When the device wakes up, it
will continue from this stat e. If Two-S pee d S t art-ups are
enabled, the initial start-up frequency from HFINTOSC
and the postscaler may not be stable immediately.
In PRI_IDLE mode, the primary clock will continue to
clock the ECCP module without change. In all other
power-managed modes, the selected power-managed
mode clock will clock Timer2. Other power-managed
mode clocks will most likely be different than the
primary clock frequency.
16.4.8.1 Operation with Fail-Safe
Clock Monitor
If the Fai l-Safe Cl ock Monito r is enabl ed, a clo ck failu re
will force the device into the RC_RUN Power-Managed
mode and the OSCFIF bit of the PIR2 register will be
set. The ECCP will then be clocked from the internal
oscillator clock source, which may have a different
clock frequency than the primary clock.
See the previous section for additional details.
16.4.9 EFFECTS OF A RESET
Both Power-on Reset and subseque nt Resets will force
all ports to Input mode and the CCP registers to their
Reset states.
This forces the enhanced CCP module to reset to a
state compatible with the standard CCP module.

SERIAL PORT (MS SP)
MODULE
17.1 Master SSP (MSSP) Module
Overview
The Master Synchronous Serial Port (MSSP) module is
a serial interface, useful for communicating with other
periphera l or m icroc ontroll er dev ices. Th ese p eriphera l
devices may be serial EEPROMs, shift registers, 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)
- Full Master mode
- Slave mode (with general address call)
The I2C interface supports the following modes in
hardware:
•Master mode
Multi-Master mode
Slave mode
17.2 Control Registers
The MSSP module has seven associated registers.
These include:
SSPSTA – STATUS register
SSPCON1 – First Control register
SSPCON2 – Second Control register
SSPBUF – Transmit/Receive buffer
SSPSR – Shift register (not directly accessible)
SSPADD – Address register
SSPMSK – Address Mask register
The use of thes e regis ters an d their i ndivi dual Con figu-
ration bits dif fe r si gni fic ant ly depe ndi ng on w he ther th e
MSSP module is operated in SPI or I2C mode.
Additional details are provided under the individual
sections.
17.3 SPI Mode
The S PI mode allo ws 8 bit s of dat a to be sy nchronousl y
transmitted and received simultaneously. All four
modes of SPI are supported. To accomplish
communication, typically three pins are used:
Serial Data Out – SDO
Serial Data In – SDI/SDA
Serial Clock – SCK/SCL
Additionally, a fourth pin may be used when in a Slave
mode of operation:
Slave Select – SS
Figure 17-1 shows the block diagram of the MSSP
module when operating in SPI mode.

17.3.1 REGISTERS
The MSSP module has four registers for SPI mode
operation. These are:
SSPCON1 – Control Register
SSPSTAT – STATUS register
SSPBUF – Serial Receive/Transmit Buffer
SSPSR – Shift Register (Not directly accessible)
SSPCON1 and SSPSTAT are the control and STA-
TUS registers in SPI mode operation. The SSPCON1
register is readable and writable. The lower 6 bits of
the SSPSTAT are read-only. The upper two bits of the
SSPSTAT are read/write.
SSPSR is the shift register used for shifting data in
and out. SSPBUF provides indirect access to the
SSPSR register. SSPBUF is the buffer register to
which data bytes are written, and from which data
bytes are read.
In receive operations, SSPSR and SSPBUF together
create a double-buffered receiver. When SSPSR
receives a complete byte, it is transferred to SSPBUF
and the SSPIF interrupt is set.
During transmission, the SSPBUF is not
double-buffered. A write to SSPBUF will write to both
SSPBUF and SSPSR.

17.3.2 OPERATION
When initializing the SPI, several options need to be
specif ied. This is done by progra mming the ap propriate
control bits (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)
The MS SP consi sts of a trans mit/rec eive shift re gister
(SSPSR) and a buf fer register (SSPBUF). The SSPSR
shifts the data in and out of the device, MSb first. The
SSPBUF holds the data that was writ ten to the SSPSR
until the received dat a is ready. Once the 8 bits of data
have bee n received, that byte is moved to the SSPBUF
register. Then, the Buffer Full detect bit, BF of the
SSPSTAT register , an d the interrupt flag bit, SSPIF, are
set. This double-buffering of the received data
(SSPBUF) allows the next byte to start reception before
reading the data that was just r eceived. Any write to the
SSPBUF registe r during tra nsmission/recep tion of data
will be ignored and the write collision detect bit WCOL
of the SSPCON1 register, will be set. User software
must cl ear t he WCOL bit so th at it can be dete rmined if
the following write(s) to the SSPBUF register
completed successfully.
When the application software is expecting to receive
valid da ta, the SSPBUF shoul d be read before th e next
byte of data to transfer is written to the SSPBUF. The
Buffer Full bit, BF of the SSPSTAT register, indicates
when SSPBUF has been loade d with the recei ved dat a
(transmiss ion is complete ). When the SSPBUF is read,
the BF bit is cleared. This data may be irrelevant if the
SPI is only a transmit ter . Generall y, the MSSP interru pt
is used to determine when the transmission/reception
has completed. The SSPBUF must be read and/or
written. If the interrupt method is not going to be used,
then sof tware pol ling can be d one to ensure that a write
collision does not occur. Example 17-1 shows the
loading of the SSPBUF (SSPSR) for data transmission.
The SSPSR is n ot directly re adable or wri table and can
only be accessed by addressing the SSPBUF register.
Additionally, the MSSP STATUS register (SSPSTAT)
indicates the various status conditions.

PIC18F2XK20/4XK20
17.3.3 ENABLING SPI I/O
To enable the serial port, SSP Enable bit, SSPEN of
the SSPCON1 regis ter, must be set. To reset or recon-
figure SPI mode, clear the SSPEN bit, reinitialize the
SSPCON registers and then set the SSPEN bit. This
configures the SDI, SDO, SCK and SS pins as serial
port pin s. For the pins t o beha ve as t he serial port fun c-
tion, some must have their data direction bits (in the
TRIS register) appropriately programmed as follows:
SDI is a uto ma tic ally control led by the SPI module
SDO must have corresponding TRIS bit cleared
SCK (Master mode) must have corresponding
TRIS bit cleared
SCK (Slave mode) must have corresponding
TRIS bit set
•SS
must have corresponding TRIS bit set
Any serial port function that is not desired may be
overridden by programming the corresponding data
direction (TRIS) register to the opposite value.
17.3.4 TYPICAL CO NNEC TION
Figure 17-2 shows a typical connection between two
microcontrollers. The master controller (Processor 1)
initiates the data transfer by sending the SCK signal.
Data is shifted out of both shift registers on their pro-
grammed clock e dge and l atched on the oppos ite edge
of the cloc k. Both processors should be programmed to
the same Clock Polarity (CKP), then both controllers
would send and receive data at the same time.
Whether the data is meaningful (or dummy data)
depends on the application software. This leads to
three scenarios for data transmission:
Master sends dataSlave sends dummy data
Master sends dataSl ave s ends data
Master sends dummy dataSlave sends data

17.3.5 MASTER MODE
The master can initiate the data transfer at any time
because it controls the SCK. The master determines
when the slave (Processor 2, Figure 17-2) is to
broadcast data by the software protocol.
In Master mode, the data is transmitted/received as
soon as the SSPBUF registe r is written to. If the SPI is
only going to receive, the SDO output could be dis-
abled (programmed as an input). The SSPSR register
will co ntinue to shift in the signal pre sent on the SDI pin
at the programmed clock 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
programming the CKP bit of the SSPCON1 register.
This then, would give waveforms for SPI
communication as shown in Figure 17-3, Figure 17-5
and Figure 17-6, where the MSB is transmitted first. In
Master mode, the SPI clock rate (bit rate) is user
programmable to be one of the following:
•F
OSC/4 (or TCY)
•FOSC/16 (or 4 • TCY)
•F
OSC/64 (or 16 • TCY)
Timer2 output/2
This allows a maximum data rate (at 64 MHz) of
16.00 Mbps.
Figure 17-3 shows the waveforms for Master mode.
When the CKE bit is set, the SDO data is valid before
there is a clock edge on SCK. The change of the input
sample is shown based on the state of the SMP bit. The
time when the SSPBUF is loaded with the received
dat a is shown.

17.3.6 SLAVE MODE
In Slave m ode , the data is trans mi tted and rece iv ed as
the external clock pulses appear on SCK. When the
last bit is latched, the SSPIF interrupt flag bit is set.
Before enabling the module in SPI Slave mode, the clock
line must match the proper Idle state. The clock line can
be observed by reading the SCK pin. The Idle state is
determined by the CKP bit of the SSPCON1 register .
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.
17.3.7 SLAVE SELECT
SYNCHRONIZATION
The SS pin allows a Synchronous Slave mode. The
SPI must be in Slave mode wit h SS pin control ena bled
(SSPCON1<3:0> = 04h). The pin must not be driven
low for the SS pin to function as an input. The data latch
must be high. When the SS pin is low , tran smission and
receptio n are enab led and the SDO pin is driven. When
the SS pin goes hi gh , th e SD O pin is no lo n ge r dr iv en ,
even if in the middle of a tran smitted byte an d becomes
a floating output. External pull-up/pull-down resistors
may be desirable depending on the application.
When the SPI module resets, the bit counter is forced
to ‘0’. This can be done by either forcing the SS pin to
a high level or clearing the SSPEN bit.
To emulate two-wire communication, the SDO pin can
be connected to the SDI pin. When the SPI needs to
operate as a receiver, the SDO pin can be configured
as an in put. This d isables transmissi ons from th e SDO.
The SDI can always be left as an input (SDI function)
since it cann ot cre ate a bus con flict.
FIGURE 17-4: SLAVE SYNCHRONIZATION WAVEFORM
Note 1: When the SPI is in Slave mode w ith SS pin
control enabled (SSPCON<3:0> = 0100),
the SPI module will reset if the SS pin is set

enabled.

17.3.8 OPE RATION IN POWER-M ANAGED
MODES
In SPI Master mo de, modu le clo cks may be op erati ng
at a different speed than when in full power mode; in
the case of the Sleep mode, all clocks are halted.
In all Idle mo des, a clock is prov ided to the peri pherals.
That clock could be from the primary clock source, the
secondary clock (Timer1 oscillator at 32.768 kHz) or
the INTOSC source. See Section 3.0 “Power-Man-
aged Mod es” for additional information.
In most cases, the speed that the master clocks SPI
data is not important; however, this should be
evaluated for each system.
When MSSP interrupts are enabled, after the master
completes sending data, an MSSP interrupt will wake
the controller:
from Sleep, in slave mode
from Idle, in slave or master mode
If an ex it from Sleep or Idl e mode i s not desire d, MSSP
interrupts should be disabled.
In SPI master mode, when the Sleep mode is selected,
all module clocks are halted and the transmis-
sion/rec ep tio n w il l rem ai n in t hat s tate until the device s
wakes . Afte r the devi ce return s to Run mode, th e mod-
ule will resume transmitting and receiving data.
In SPI Slave mode, the SPI Transmit/Receive Shift
register operates asynchronously to the device. This
allows the device to be placed in any power-managed
mode and data to be shifted into the SPI
Transmit/Receive Shift register. When all 8 bits have
been received, the MSSP interrupt flag bit will be set
and if enabled, will wake the device.
17.3.9 EFFECTS OF A RESET
A Reset disables the MSSP module and terminat es the
current transfer.
17.3.10 BUS MODE COMPATIBILITY
Table 17-1 shows the compatibility between the
standard SPI modes and the states of the CKP and
CKE control bits.

17.4 I2C Mode
The MSSP module in I2C mode fully implements all
master and slave functions (including general call
support) and provides interrupts on Start and Stop bits
in hardware to determine a free bus (multi-master
function). The MSSP module implements the standard
mode specifications as well as 7-bit and 10-bit
addressing.
Two pins are used for data transfer:
Serial clock (SCL) – SCK/SCL
Serial data (SDA) – SDI/SDA
The user must configure these pins as inputs with the
corresponding TRIS bits.
FIGURE 17-7: MSSP BLOCK DIAGRAM
(I2C™ MODE)
17.4.1 REGISTERS
The MSSP module has seven registers for I2C
operation. These are:
MSSP Control Register 1 (SSPCON1)
MSSP Control Register 2 (SSPCON2)
MSSP STATUS register (SSPSTAT)
Serial Receive/Transmit Buffer Register
(SSPBUF)
MSSP Shift Register (SSPSR) – Not directly
accessible
MSSP Address Register (SSPADD)
MSSP Address Mask (SSPMSK)
SSPCON1, SSPCON2 and SSPSTAT are the control
and STATUS registers in I2C mode operation. The
SSPCON1 and SSPCON2 registers are readable and
writa bl e. Th e l ower 6 b it s o f t he SSPS TAT ar e re ad -o nl y.
The up per two bits of th e SS PSTAT are read/w rit e.
SSPSR is the shift register used for shifting data in or
out. SSPBUF is the buffer register to which data bytes
are written to or read from.
When the SSP is configured in Master mode, the lower
seven bits of SSPADD act as the Baud Rate Generator
reload value. When the SSP is configured for I2C slave
mode the SSPADD register holds the slave device
address. The SSP can be configured to respond to a
range of addresses by qualifying selected bits of the
address register with the SSPMSK register .
In receive operations, SSPSR and SSPBUF together
create a double-buffered receiver. When SSPSR
receives a complete byte, it is transferred to SSPBUF
and the SSPIF interrupt is set.
During transmission, the SSPBUF is not
double-buffered. A write to SSPBUF will write to both
SSPBUF and SSPSR.

17.4.2 OPERATION
The MSSP module functions are enabled by setting
SSPEN bit of the SSPCON1 register.
The SSPCON1 register allows control of the I2C
operation. Four mode selection bits of the SSPCON1
register allow one of the following I2C modes to be
selected:
•I
2C Master mode, cl ock = (FOSC/(4 x
(SSPADD + 1))
•I
2C Slave mode (7-bit address)
•I
2C Slave mode (10-bit address)
•I
2C Slave mode (7-bit address) with Start and
Stop bit interrupts enabled
•I
2C Slave mode (10-bit address) with Start and
Stop bit interrupts enabled
•I
2C Firmware Controlled Master mode, slave is
Idle
Selection of any I2C mode with the SSPEN bit set,
forces the SCL and SDA pins to be open-drain,
provided these pins are programmed to inputs by
setting the appropriate TRIS bits. To ensure proper
operation of the module, pull-up resistors must be
provided externally to the SCL and SDA pins.
17.4.3 SLAVE MODE
In Slave mod e, the SCL and SDA pins mu st be co nfi g-
ured as inputs. The MSSP module will override the
input state with the output data when required
(slave-transmitter).
The I2C Slave m od e hardware wi ll alw a ys ge nera te a n
interrupt on an address match. Through the mode
select bits, the user can also choose to interrupt on
Start and Stop bits
When an add ress is matched, or the data transfer af ter
an address match is received, the hardware
automatically will generate the Acknowledge (ACK)
pulse and load the SSPBUF register with the received
value currently in the SSPSR register.
Any combination of the following conditions will cause
the MSSP module not to give this ACK pulse:
The Buffer Full bit, BF bit of the SSPSTAT regis-
ter, is set before the transfer is received.
The overflow bit, SSPOV bit of the SSPCON1
register, is set before the transfer is received.
In this case, the SSPSR register value is not loaded
into the SSPBUF, but bit SSPIF of the PIR1 register is
set. The BF bit is cleared by reading the SSPBUF
register, while bit SSPOV is cleared through software.
The SCL clock input must have a minimum high and
low fo r pro per op eration. The h igh an d l ow ti me s o f the
I2C specification, as well as the requirement of the
MSSP module, are sh own in timing para meter 100 and
parameter 101 (See Table 26-19).
17.4.3.1 Addressing
Once the MSSP module has been enabled, it waits for
a S t art conditio n to occur. Following the S t art co ndition,
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:
1. The SSPSR register value is loaded into the
SSPBUF register.
2. The Buffer Full bit, BF, is set.
3. An ACK pulse is generated.
4. MSSP Interrupt Flag bi t, SSPIF of the PIR1 reg-
ister , is set (interru pt is generated, if enabled ) on
the falling edge of the ninth SCL pulse.
In 10-bit Address mode, two address bytes need to be
received by the slave. The five Most Significant bits
(MSbs) of the first address byte specify if this is a 10-bit
address. Bit R/W of the SSPSTAT register must specify
a write so the slave device will receive the second
address byte. For a 10-bit address, the first byte would
equal ‘11110 A9 A8 0’, where ‘A9’ and ‘A8’ are the two
MSbs of the address. The sequ ence of events for 10-bit
address is as follows, with steps 7 through 9 for the
slave-transmitter:
1. Receive first (high) byte of address (bits SSPIF,
BF and UA (of the SSPSTAT register 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). If the address
matches then the SCL is held until the next step.
Otherwise the SCL line is not held.
5. Update t he SSPADD register w ith the f irst (hig h)
byte of address. (This will clear bit UA and
release a held 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.

DS41303G-page 208 2010 Microchip Technology Inc.
17.4.3.2 Reception
When the R/W bit of the address byte is clear and an
address match occurs, the R/W bit of the SSPSTAT
register is cleare d. The re ceived ad dre ss is loa ded in to
the SSPBUF register and the SDA line is held low
(ACK).
When the address byte overflow condition exists, then
the no Ack no w led ge (A CK) pul se is g iv en. An ov erf low
conditi on is define d as either bit BF bit of the SSPST AT
register is set, or bit SSPOV bit of the SSPCON1
register is set.
An MSSP interrupt is generated for each data transfer
byte. Flag bit, SSPIF of the PIR1 register, must be
cleared by software. The SSPSTAT register is used to
determine the status of the byte.
When the SEN bit of the SSPCON2 register is set,
SCK/SCL will be held low (clock stretch) following
each data transfer. The clock must be released by
setting the CKP bit of the SSPCON1 register. See
Section 17.4.4 “Clock Stretching” for more detail.
17.4.3.3 Transmission
When the R/W bit of the incoming address byte is set
and an address match occurs, the R/W bit of the
SSPSTAT register is set. The received address is
loaded into the SSPBUF register. The ACK pulse will
be sent on the ninth bit and pin SCK/SCL is held low
regardless of SEN (see Section 17.4.4 “Clock
Stretching” for more detail). By stretching the clock,
the master will be unable to assert another clock pulse
until the s lav e is don e preparing th e tran sm it da ta. The
transmit data mus t be loaded i nto the SSPBUF reg ister
which also loads the SSPSR register. Then pin
SCK/SCL should be enabled by setting the CKP bit of
the SSPCON1 register. 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 17-9).
The ACK pulse from the master-receiver is latched on
the rising edge of the nin th SCL input pu lse. If the SDA
line is high (not ACK), then the data transfer is
comple te. In thi s case , when the ACK is latched by the
slave, the slave logic is reset (resets SSPSTAT
register) an d the slave monito rs for another occurre nce
of the Start bit. If the SDA line was low (ACK), the next
transmit da ta must be loaded into the SSPBUF r egister .
Again, pin SCK/SCL must be enabled by setting bit
CKP.
An MSSP interrupt is generated for each data transfer
byte. The SSPIF bit must be cleared by software and
the SSPSTAT register is used to determine the status
of the byte. The SSPIF bit is set on the falling edge of
the ninth clock pulse.

17.4.3.4 SSP Mask Register
An SSP Mask (SSPMSK) register is available in I2C
Slave mode as a mask for the value held in the
SSPSR register during an address comparison
operation. A zero (0’) bit in the SSPMSK register has
the effect of making the corresponding bit in the
SSPSR register a “don’t care”.
This register is reset to all ‘1s upon any Reset
condition and, therefore, has no effect on standard
SSP operation until written with a mask value.
This register must be initiated prior to setting
SSPM<3:0> bits to select the I2C Slave mode (7-bit or
10-bit address).
The SSP Mask register is active during:
7-bit Address mode: address compare of A<7:1>.
10-bi t Address mode: ad dress comp are of A<7:0>
only. The SSP mask has no effect during the
reception of the first (high) byte of the address.

17.4.4 CLOCK STRETCHING
Both 7-bit and 10-bit Slave modes implement
automatic cloc k s tre tch ing during a tran sm it sequenc e.
The SEN bit of the SSPCON2 register allows clock
stretching to be enabled during receives. Setting SEN
will cause the SCL pin to be held low at the end of
each data receive sequence.
17.4.4.1 Clock Stretching for 7-bit Slave
Receive Mode (SEN = 1)
In 7-bit Slave Receive mode, on the falling edge of the
ninth clock at the end of the ACK sequence if the BF
bit is set, the CKP bit of the SSPCON1 register is
automatically cleared, forcing the SCL output to be
held low. The CKP being cleared to ‘0’ will assert the
SCL line low. The CKP bit must be set in the user’s
ISR befo re recep tion i s allo wed to co ntinue . By hol ding
the SCL line low, the user has time to service the ISR
and read the contents of the SSPBUF before the
master device can initiate another data transfer
sequence. This will prevent buffer overruns from
occurring (see Figure 17-13).
17.4.4.2 Clock Stretching for 10-bit Slave
Receive Mode (SEN = 1)
In 10-bit Slave Receive mode during the address
sequence, clock stretching automatically takes place
but CKP is not c lea red . Duri ng t his time, if th e UA b it i s
set after the ninth clock, clock stretching is initiated.
The UA bit is set after receiving the upper byte of the
10-bit address and following the receive of the second
byte of the 10-bit address with the R/W bit cleared to
0’. The release of the clock line occurs upon updating
SSPADD. Clock stretching will occur on each data
receive sequence as described in 7-bit mode.
17.4.4.3 Clock Stretching for 7-bit Slave
Transmit Mode
7-bit Slave Transmit mode implements clock stretch-
ing by clearing the CKP bit after the falling edge of the
ninth clock if the BF bit is clear. This occurs regardless
of the state of the SEN bit.
The user’s ISR must set the CKP bit before transmis-
sion is allowed to continue. By holding the SCL line
low, the user has time to service the ISR and load the
contents of the SSPBUF before the master device can
initiate another data transfer sequence (see
Figure 17-9).
17.4.4.4 Clock Stretching for 10-bit Slave
Transmit Mode
In 10-bit Slave Transmit mode, clock stretching is con-
trolled during the first two address sequences by the
state of the UA bit, just as it is in 10-bit Slave Receive
mode. The first two addresses are followed by a third
address sequence which contains the high-order bits
of the 10-bit address and the R/W bit set to ‘1’. After
the third address sequence is performed, the UA bit is
not set, the module is now configured in Transmit
mode and clock stretching is controlled by the BF flag
as in 7-bit Slave Transmit mode (see Figure 17-11).
Note 1: If the user reads the contents of the
SSPBUF before the falling edge of the
ninth clock, thus clearing the BF bit, the
CKP bit will not be cleared and clock
stretching will not occur.
2: The CKP bit can be set by software
regardless of the state of the BF bit. The
user should be careful to clear the BF bit
in the ISR before the next receive
sequence in order to prevent an overflow
condition.
Note: If the user polls the UA bit and clears it by
updating the SSPADD register before the
falling ed ge of the ni nth c lock oc curs and if
the user hasn’t cleared the BF bit by read-
ing the SSPBUF register before that time,
then the CKP bit will still NOT be asserted
low. Clock stretching on the basis of the
state of the BF bit only occurs during a
data sequence, not an address sequence.
Note 1: If the user lo ads t he co nten t s of SSPBUF,
setting the BF bit before the falling edge of
the ninth clock, the CKP bit will not be
cleared and clock stretching will n ot occur .
2: The CKP bit can be set by software
regardless of the state of the BF bit.

17.4.4.5 Clock Synchronization and
the CKP bit
When the CKP bit is cleared, the SCL output is forced
to ‘0’. However, clearing the CKP bit will not assert the
SCL output low until the SCL output is already sam-
pled low. Therefore, the CKP bit will not assert the
SCL line until an external I2C master device has
already asserted the SCL line. The SCL output will
remain low until the CKP bit is set and all other
devices on the I2C bus have deasserted SCL. This
ensures that a write to the CKP bit will not violate the
minimum high time requirement for SCL (see
Figure 17-12).

17.4.5 GENERAL CALL ADDRESS
SUPPORT
The addressing procedure for the I2C bus is such that
the first byte after the Start condition usually
determines which device will be t he 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 all0’s with R/W = 0.
The general call address is recognized when the
GCEN bit of the SSPCON2 is set. Following a Start bit
detect, 8 bits are shifted into the SSPSR and the
address is compared against the SSPADD. It is also
comp ared to the general call add ress and fixed in ha rd-
ware.
If the general call address matches, the SSPSR is
transferre d to the S SPBUF, the BF flag bi t is set (ei ghth
bit) and on the falling edg e of the ninth bit (ACK bit), the
SSPIF interrupt flag bit is set.
When the interrupt is serviced, the source for the
interr upt can be checke d by readi ng the con tents of the
SSPBUF. The value can be used to determine if the
address was device specific or a general call address.
In 10-bit mode, the SSPADD is required to be updated
for the seco nd half of the addre ss to match an d the UA
bit of the SSPSTAT register is set. If the general call
address is sampled w hen the GCEN bi t is set, whil e 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 17-15).

17.4.6 MASTER MODE
Master mode is enabled by setting and clearing the
appropria te SSPM bit s in SSPCON1 and by set ting the
SSPEN bit. In Master mode, the SCL and SDA lines
are manipulated by the MSSP hardware.
Master mode of operation is supported by interrupt
generation on the detection of the Start and Stop con-
ditions . The S t op (P) and S t art (S) bit s are clea red fro m
a Reset o r when the MSSP m odule is di sabled. Control
of the I2C bus may be t aken when th e P bit is s et, or the
bus is Idle, with both the S and P bits clear.
In Firmware Controlled Master mode, user code
conducts all I2C bus operations based on Start and
Stop bit conditions.
Once Master mode is enabled, the user has six
options.
1. Assert a Start condition on SDA and SCL.
2. Assert a Repeated Start condition on SDA and
SCL.
3. Write to the SSPBUF register initiating
transmission of data/address.
4. Configure the I2C port to receive data.
5. Generate an Acknowledge condition at the end
of a received byte of data.
6. Generate a Stop condition on SDA and SCL.
The following events will cause the SSP Interrupt Flag
bit, SSPIF, to be set (SSP interrupt, if enabled):
Start condition
Stop condition
Data transfer byte transmitted/received
Acknowledge transmit
Repeat ed Start
FIGURE 17-16: MSSP BLOCK DIAGRAM (I2C™ MASTER MODE)
Note: The MSSP module, when configured in
I2C Mast er mode, does n ot allow que ueing
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 wi ll be set, indicating that a write

17.4.6.1 I2C Master Mode Operation
The master device generates all of the serial clock
pulses and the S t a rt and Stop condition s. A transfer i s
ended with a Stop condition or with a Repeated Start
condition. Since the Repeated Start condition is also
the beginning of the next serial transfer , the I2C bus will
not be released.
In Master Transmitter mode, serial data is output
through SDA, while SCL outputs the serial clock. The
first byte transmitted contains the slave address of the
recei vin g dev ice ( 7 bits) and the Rea d/Writ e (R/W) bit.
In this case, the R/W bit wi ll be lo gic ‘0 . S eri al d ata is
transmitted 8 bits at a time. After eac h byte i s t r ansm it-
ted, an Acknowledge bit is received. Start and Stop
conditions are output to indicate the beginning and the
end of a serial transfer.
In Master Rec eive mode , the first byte transm itted con-
tains the slave address of the transmitting device
(7 bits) and th e R/W bit. In this case, the R/W bit w ill b e
logic ‘ 1’. Thus, the first byte transmitted is a 7-bit slave
address followed by a ‘1to indicate the receive bit.
Serial data is received via SDA, while SCL outputs the
serial clock. Serial data is received 8 bits at a time. Af ter
each byte is received, an Acknowledge bit is transmit-
ted. Start and Stop conditions indicate the beginning
and end of transmission.
The Baud Rate Generator used for the SPI mode
operation is used to set the SCL clock frequency for
either 100 kHz, 400 kHz or 1 MHz I2C operation. See
Section 17.4.7 “Baud Rate” for more detail.
A typical transmit sequence would go as follows:
1. The user generates a Start condition by setting
the SEN bit of the SSPCON2 register.
2. SSPIF is set. The MSSP module will wait the
required start time before any other operation
takes place.
3. The user loads the SSPBUF with the slave
address to transmit.
4. Address is s hi f ted out the SD A p in un til al l 8 bits
are transmitted.
5. The MSSP module shif t s in the ACK bit f rom th e
slave device and writes its value into the
ACKSTAT bit of the SSPCON2 register.
6. The MSSP mo dule g enerate s an interrup t at th e
end of th e ninth c lock cyc le by settin g the SSPIF
bit.
7. The user loads the SSPBUF with eight bits of
data.
8. Data i s sh ifte d out the SD A pin until all 8 bit s a re
transmitted.
9. The MSSP module shif t s in the ACK bit f rom th e
slave device and writes its value into the
ACKSTAT bit of the SSPCON2 register.
10. The MSSP module g enerate s an interrup t at th e
end of th e ninth c lock cyc le by settin g the SSPIF
bit.
11. The user generates a Stop condition by setting
the PEN bit of the SSPCON2 register.

PIC18F2XK20/4XK20
17.4.7 BAUD RATE
In I2C Master mode, the Baud Rate Generator (BRG)
reload value is placed in the SSPADD register
(Figure 17-17). When a write occurs to SSPBUF, the
Baud Ra te Generator wil l automaticall y begin countin g.
The BRG counts down to ‘0’ and stops until another
reload has taken place. The BRG count is decre-
mented tw ice per instru cti on cycle (TCY) on the Q2 an d
Q4 clocks. In I2C Master mode, the BRG is reloaded
automatically. One half of the SCL period is equal to
[(SSPADD+1)  2]/FOSC. Therefore SSPADD =
(FCY/FSCL) -1.
Once the given operation is complete (i.e.,
transmission of the last data bit is followed by ACK), the
internal clock will automatically stop counting and the
SCL pin will remain in its last state.
Table 17-3 demonstrates clock rates based on
instruction cycles and the BRG value loaded into
SSPADD.
The minimum SSPADD value for baud rate generation
is 0x03.

17.4.7.1 Clock Arbitration
Clock arbitration occurs when the master, during any
receive, transmit or Repeated Start/Stop condition,
deasserts the SCL pin (SCL allowed to float high).
When the SCL pin is allowed to float high, the Baud
Rate Generator (BRG) is suspended from counting
until the SCL pin is actually sampled high. When the
SCL pin is sampled high, the Baud Rate Generator is
reloaded with the contents of SSPADD<7:0> and
begins counting. This ensures that the SCL high time
will always be at least one BRG rollover count in the
event that the clock is held low by an external device
(Figure 17-18).

17.4.8 I2C MASTER MODE START
CONDITION TIMING
To initiate a Start condition, the user sets the Start
Enable bit, SEN bit of the SSPCON2 register. If the
SDA and SCL pins are sampled high, the Baud Rate
Generator is reloaded with the contents of
SSPADD<6:0> and start s its count. If SCL and SDA a re
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 of the SSPSTAT1
register to be set . Follow ing this, the Baud Rat e Gener-
ator is reloaded with the contents of SSPADD<7:0>
and res umes it s co unt. When the Baud Rate Gen erator
times out (T BRG), the SEN bit of th e SSPCON2 regis ter
will be automatically cleared by hardware; the Baud
Rate Generator is suspended, leaving the SDA line
held low and the Start condition is complete.
17.4.8.1 WCOL Status Flag
If the user writes the SSPBUF when a Start sequence
is in progress, the WCOL is set and the contents of the
buffer are unchanged (the write doesn’t occur).
FIGURE 17-19: FIRST START BIT TIMING
Note: If at the beginning of the Start condition,
the SDA and SCL pins are already sam-
pled low , or if during the S tart condition, the
SCL line is sampled low before the SDA
line is driven low, a bus 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.
Note: Because queueing of events is not
allowed, writing to the lower 5 bits of
SSPCON2 is disabled until the Start

17.4.9 I2C MASTER MODE REP EA TED
START CONDITION TIMING
A Repeated Start condition occurs when the RSEN bit
of the SSPCON2 register is programmed high and the
I2C logi c module is in the Idle st ate. When th e RSEN bit
is set, the SCL pin is asserted low. When the SCL pin
is samp led low , the Baud Rate Generator is loaded with
the contents of SSPADD<5:0> and begins counting.
The SDA pin is released (brought high) for one Baud
Rate Generator count (TBRG). When the Baud Rate
Generator times out, if SDA is sampled high, the SCL
pin will be deasserted (brought high). When SCL is
sampled high, the Baud Rate Generator is reloaded
with the contents of SSPADD<7:0> and begins count-
ing. SDA and SCL mu st be sampled high for one TBRG.
This ac tion is the n followed by assertio n of the SDA pin
(SDA = 0) for one TBRG while SCL is high. Following
this, the RSEN bit of the SSPCON2 register will be
automat ically cleared and the Baud Rate Ge nerator will
not be reload ed, leavin g the SDA pin held low. As soon
as a Start condition is detected on the SDA and SCL
pins, the S bit of the SSPSTAT register will be set. The
SSPIF bit will n ot be set unti l th e Baud Rate Generator
has timed out.
Immediately following the SSPIF bit getting set, the user
may write the SSPBUF with the 7-bit address in 7-bit
mode or the default first address in 10-bit mode. After the
first eight bits are transmitted and an ACK is received,
the user may then transmit an additional eight bits of
address (10-bit mode) or eight bit s of dat a (7-bit mode).
17.4.9.1 WCOL Status Flag
If the user writes the SSPBUF when a Repeated Start
sequence is in progress, the WCOL is set and the
contents of the bu f fer are un ch anged (th e write doesn’t
occur).
FIGURE 17-20: REPEAT START CONDITION WAVEFORM

17.4.10 I2C MASTER MODE
TRANSMISSION
Transmission of a data byte, a 7-bit address or the
other half of a 10-bit address is accomplished by simply
writing a value to the SSPBUF register. This action will
set the Buf fer Ful l flag bi t, BF and allo w the Baud Rate
Generator to begin counting and start the next trans-
mission. Each bit of address/data will be shifted out
onto the SDA pin after the falling edge of SCL is
asserted (see data hold time specification
parameter 106). SCL is held low for one Baud Rate
Generator rollover count (TBRG). Data should be valid
befor e SCL is rele ased high (see dat a setup time spec-
ificati on par ameter 107). When the SC L pin is released
high, it is held that way for TBRG. The data on the SDA
pin must rem ain st abl e for that duratio n and some hol d
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.
This allows the slave device being addressed to
respond with an ACK bit dur ing t he nint h bit time i f an
addr es s m at c h oc cu r red , o r if d a ta wa s rec ei v ed p rop -
erly . The status of ACK is written i nto th e ACKDT bit o n
the falli ng edge of the ninth clock. If the master receives
an Acknowledge, the Acknowledge Status bit,
ACKSTA T, is cleared. If not, the bit is set. Af ter the ninth
clock, the SSPIF bit is set and the master clock (Baud
Rate Generator) is suspended until the next data byte
is loaded into the SSPBUF, leaving SCL low and SDA
unchanged (Figure 17-21).
After the write to the SSPBUF, each bit of the 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 falling edge of the eighth clock, the master will
deassert the SDA pin, allowing the slave to respond
with an Acknowledge. On the falling edge of the ninth
cloc k, the mast er wil l sam ple the SDA pin to see if t he
address was recognized by a slave. The status of the
ACK bit is loaded into the ACKSTAT Status bit of the
SSPCON2 register. Following the falling edge of the
ninth clock transmission of the address, the SSPIF is
set, the BF flag is clea red and the Baud Rate Generator
is turned off until another write to the SSPBUF takes
place, holding SCL low and allowing SDA to float.
17.4.10.1 BF Status Flag
In Transmit mode, the BF bit of the SSPSTAT register
is set when the CPU writes to SSPBUF and is cleared
when all 8 bits are shifted out.
17.4.10.2 WCOL Status Flag
If the user writes the SSPBUF when a transmit is
already in progress (i.e., SSPSR is still shifting out a
data byte), the WCOL is set and the contents of the buf-
fer are unchanged (the write doesn’t occur).
WCOL must be cleared by software.
17.4.10.3 ACKSTAT Status Flag
In Transmit mode, the ACKSTAT bit of the SSPCON2
register is cleared when the slave has sent an Acknowl-
edge (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 properly received
its data.
17.4.11 I2C MASTER MODE RECEPTI ON
Master mode recepti on is enabl ed by pro grammin g th e
Receive Enable bit, RCEN bit of the SSPCON2
register.
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 con-
tents of the SSPSR are loaded into the SSPBUF, the
BF flag bit is s et, the SSPIF flag bit is set and the Baud
Rate Generator is suspended from counting, holding
SCL low. The MSSP is now in Idle state awaiting the
next command. When the buffer is read by the CPU,
the BF flag bit is automatically cleared. The user can
then send an Acknowledge bit at the end of reception
by setti ng the Acknowl edge Sequence Ena ble, ACKEN
bit of the SSPCON2 register.
17.4.11.1 BF Status Flag
In receiv e op eration, the B F bit is s et whe n an add r es s
or data byte is loaded into SSPBUF from SSPSR. It is
cleared when the SSPBUF register is read.
17.4.11.2 SSPOV S tatus Flag
In receive operation, the SSPOV bit is set when 8 bits
are received into the SSPSR and the BF flag bit is
already set from a previous reception.
17.4.11.3 WCOL Status Flag
If the user writes the SSPBUF when a receive is
already in progress (i.e., SSPSR is still shifti ng in a data
byte), th e WCOL bi t is set an d the conte nts of th e buffer
are unchanged (the write doesn’t occur).
Note: The MSSP module must be in an Idle state
before the RCEN bit is set or t he RCEN bit
will be disregarded.

17.4.12 ACKNOWLEDGE SEQUENCE
TIMING
An Acknowledge sequence is enabled by setting the
Acknowledge Sequence Enable bit, ACKEN bit of the
SSPCON2 register. When this bit is set, the SCL pin is
pulled low and the contents of the Acknowledge data bit
are presented on the SDA pin. If the use r wishes to gen-
erate an Acknowledge, then the ACKDT bit should be
cleared. If not, the user should set the ACKDT bit before
starting an Acknowledge sequence. The Baud Rate
Generator then counts for one rollover period (TBRG)
and the SCL pin is deasserted (pulled high). When the
SCL pin is sampled high (clock arbitration), the Baud
Rate Generator counts for TBRG. The SCL pin is then
pulled low . Following this, the ACKEN bit is automatically
cleared, the Baud Rate Generator is turned off and the
MSSP module then goes into Idle mode (Figure 17-23).
17.4.12.1 WCOL Status Flag
If the user writes the SSPBUF when an Acknowledge
sequence is in progress, then WCOL is set and the
contents of the bu f fer are un chang ed (th e write doe sn ’t
occur).
17.4.13 STOP CONDITION TIMING
A Stop bit is asserted on the SDA pin at the end of a
receive/transmit by setting the Stop Sequence Enable
bit, PEN bit of the SSPCON2 register. At the end of a
receive/transmit, the SCL line is held low after the
falling edge of th e ninth clock . When t he PEN bi t is se t,
the master will assert the SDA line low. When the SDA
line is sampled 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 deasserted. When the SDA
pin is sampled high while SCL is high, the P bit of the
SSPSTAT register is set. A TBRG later, the PEN bit is
cleared and the SSPIF bit is set (Figure 17-24).
17.4.13.1 WCOL Status Flag
If the user writes the SSPBUF when a Stop sequence
is in progress, then the WCOL bit is set and the

occur).

17.4.14 SLEEP OPERATION
While in Sleep mode, the I2C module can receive
address es or data and when an addr ess match or com-
plete byte transfer occurs, wake the processor from
Sleep (if the MSSP interrupt is enabled).
17.4.15 EFFECTS OF A RESET
A Reset disable s the MSSP module and termina tes the
current transfer.
17.4.16 MULTI-M AST ER MODE
In Multi-Master mode, the interrupt generation on the
detection of the Start and Stop conditions allows the
deter mination of when the bus i s free. The S top (P) and
Start (S) bits are cleared from a Reset or when the
MSSP module is disabled. Control of the I 2C b us may
be tak en when the P bit of the SSPSTA T regis ter is set,
or the b us is Idle , with both t he S and P b its cle ar . 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
monitored for arbitration to see if the signal level is the
expected output level. This check is performed by
hardware with the result placed in the BCLIF bit.
The states where arbitration can be lost are:
Address Transfe r
Data Transfer
A Start Condition
A Repeated Start Condition
An Acknowledge Condition
17.4.17 MUL TI - M A STE R COMM U N ICATI O N ,
BUS COLLI SION AND BU S
ARBITRATION
Multi-Master mode support is achieved by bus arbitra-
tion. When the master outputs address/data bits onto
the SDA pin, arbitration takes place when the master
outputs a ‘1on 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
SDA is a1’ and the da t a s am ple d on th e SDA pin = 0,
then a bus collision has taken place. The master will set
the Bus Collision Interrupt Flag, BCLIF and reset the
I2C port to its Idle state (Figure 17-25).
If a transmit was in progress when the bus collision
occurred, the transmission is halted, the BF flag is
cleared, the SDA and SCL lines are deasserted and the
SSPBUF can b e written to. When the us er servic es th e
bus collision Interrupt Service Routine and if the I2C
bus is free, the user can resume communication by
asserting a Start condition.
If a Start, Repeated Start, Stop or Acknowledge condi-
tion was in progress when the bus collision occurred, the
condition is aborted, the SDA and SCL lines are deas-
serted and the respective control bits in the SSPCON2
register are cleared. When the us er services the b us col-
lision Interrupt Service Routine and if the I2C bus is free,
the user can res ume communication by asserting a S tart
condition.
The master will continue to monitor the SDA and SCL
pins. 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
transmitter left off when the bus collision occurred.
In Multi-Master mode, the interrupt generation on the
detectio n o f Start and Stop conditi ons allows the deter-
minatio n of wh en the b us is fre e. Contro l of the I2C bus
can be taken when the P bit is set in the SSPSTAT
register, or the bus is Idle and the S and P bits are
cleared.

17.4.17.1 Bus Collision During a Start
Condition
During a Start condition, a bus collision occurs if:
a) SDA or SCL are sampled low at the begi nning of
the Start condition (Figure 17-26).
b) SCL is s ampl ed l ow be fore SDA is as se rted low
(Figure 17-27).
During a Start condition, both the SDA and the SCL
pins are monitored.
If the SDA pin is already low, or the SCL pin is already
low, then all of the following occur:
the Start condition is aborted ,
the BCLIF flag is set and
the MSSP module is reset to its Idle state
(Figure 17-26).
The Start condition begins with the SDA and SCL pins
deasserted. When the SDA pin is sampled high, the
Baud Rate Generator is loaded from SSPADD<7:0>
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’ dur ing 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 17-28). If, however , a ‘1’ is sampled on the SDA
pin, the SDA pin is as sert ed low at the end of the B RG
count. The Baud Rate Generator is then reloaded and
counts down to 0; if the SCL pin is sampled as ‘0
duri ng this time , a bus colli sion does not oc cur. At the
end of t he BRG co unt , the SCL pin is a ss erte d lo w.
FIGURE 17-26: BUS COLLISION DURING START CONDITION (SDA ONLY)
Note: The reason that bus collision is not a factor
duri ng a Start cond iti on is that no t wo bus
masters can assert a St art condition at the
exact same time. Therefore, one master
will always assert SDA before the other.
This condition does not cause a bus colli-
sion because the two masters must be
allowed to arbitrate the first address fol-
lowin g the S t art conditi on. If the addres s is
the same, arbitration must be allowed to
continue into the data portion, Repeated
Start or Stop conditions.

17.4.17.2 Bus Collision During a Repeated
Start Condition
During a Repeated Start condition, a bus collision
occu rs if:
a) A low level is sampled on SDA when SCL goes
from low level to high level.
b) SCL goes low before SDA is asserted low,
indicating that another master is attempting to
transmit a data ‘1’.
When the user dea sserts SDA and the pin is a llowed to
float high, the BRG is loaded with SSPADD<7:0> and
counts down to 0. The SCL pin is then deasserted and
when sampled high, the SDA pin is sampled.
If SDA is low, a bus collision has occurred (i.e., another
master is attempting to transmit a data ‘0’, Figure 17-29).
If SDA is sampled high, the BRG is relo aded 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 exa ctly the same time .
If SCL goes from high-to-low before the BRG times out
and SDA has not alread y been asserted, a bus collision
occurs. In this case, another master is attempting to
transmi t a data ‘1’ durin g t he R e pea ted Start co ndi tio n,
see Figure 17-30.
If, at the end of the BRG time-out, both SCL and SDA
are still high, the SDA pin is driven low and the BRG is
reloaded and begins counting. At the end of the count,
regardless of the status of the SCL pin, the SCL pin is
driven low and the Repeated Start condition is
complete.

17.4.17.3 Bus Collision During a Stop
Condition
Bus collision occurs during a Stop condition if:
a) After the SDA pin has been deasserted and
allowed to float high, SDA is sampled low after
the BRG has timed out.
b) Aft er the SCL pin is deasserted, SC L is sampled
low before SDA goes high.
The Stop condition begins with SDA asserted low.
When SDA is sampled low, the SCL pin is allowed to
floa t. Wh en t he p in i s sa mpled hig h (c loc k arbi tr atio n),
the Baud R ate Generator is load ed with SSP AD D<7:0>
and cou nt s d own to 0 . After the BRG tim es o ut, SDA i s
sampled. If SDA is sampled low, a bus collision has
occurred. This is due to another master attempting to
drive a data ‘0’ (Figure 17-31). If the SCL pin is
sample d lo w befo re SD A is all owed to flo at hi gh , a bu s
collis ion occ urs. Thi s is anoth er case of a nother m aster
attempting to drive a data ‘0’ (Figure 17-32).

18.0 ENHANCED UNIVERSAL
SYNCHRONOUS
ASYNCHRONOUS RECEIVER
TRANSMITTER (EUSART)
The Enhanced Universal Synchronous Asynchronous
Receiver Transmitter (EUSART) module is a serial I/O
communications peripheral. It contains all the clock
generators, shift registers and data buffers necessary
to perform an input or output serial data transfer
independent of device program execution. The
EUSART, also known as a Serial Communications
Interface (SCI), can be configured as a full-duplex
asynchronous system or half-duplex synchronous
system. Full-Duplex mode is useful for
communications with peripheral systems, such as CRT
terminals and personal computers. Half-Duplex
Synchronous mode is intended for communications
with peripheral devices, such as A/D or D/A integrated
circuits, serial EEPROMs or other microcontrollers.
These device s typ icall y do n ot have inter nal cl ocks for
baud rate generation and require the external clock
signal provided by a master synchronous device.
The EUSART m odule includes the follow ing capabilities:
Full-duplex asynchronous transmit and receive
Two-character input buffer
One-ch arac ter out put buffer
Programmable 8-bit or 9-bit character length
Address detection in 9-bit mode
Input buffer overrun error detection
Received character framing error detection
Half-du ple x sy nc hron ous master
Half-du ple x sy nc hron ous slave
Programmable clock and data polarity
The EUSART module implements the following
additional features, making it ideally suited for use in
Local Interconnect Network (LIN) bus systems:
Automatic detection and cali bration of the baud rate
Wake-up on Break reception
13-bit Break cha r ac ter transm it
Block diagrams of the EUSART transmitter and
receiver are shown in Figure 18-1 and Figure 18-2.

FIGURE 18-2: EUSART RECEIVE BLOCK DIAGRAM
The operation of the EUSART module is controlled
through three registers:
Transmit Status and Control (TXSTA)

Baud Rate Control (BAUDCON)
These registers are detailed in Register 18-1,
Regi st er 18-2 an d Re gi s ter 18-3, re sp ec ti v ely.
For all modes of EUSART operation, the TRIS control
bits corresponding to the RX/DT and TX/CK pins should
be set to1’. The EUSART control will automatically
recon fig ure the pin fro m in pu t to output, a s ne ed ed.
When the receiv er or transmitter section is not enabled

18.1 EUSART Asynchronous Mode
The EUSART transmits and receives data using the
standard non-return-to-zero (NRZ) format. NRZ is
implemented with two levels: a VOH mark state which
represents a ‘1’ data bit, and a VOL space state which
represents a ‘0’ data bit. NRZ refers to the fact that
consecutively transmitted data bits of the same value
stay at the output l evel of that bit wi thout returning to a
neutral level between each bit transmission. An NRZ
transmission port idles in the mark state. Each character
transmission consists of one Start bit followed by eig ht
or nine data bits and is always terminated by one or
more Stop bits. The Start bit is always a space and the
Stop bits are always marks. The most common data
format is 8 bits. Each transmitted bit persists for a period
of 1/(Baud Rate). An on-chip dedicated 8-bit/16-bit Baud
Rate Generator is used to derive standard baud rate
frequencies from the system oscillator. See Table 18-5
for examples of baud rate configurations.
The EUSART transmits and receives the LSb first. The
EUSART’s transmitter and receiver are functionally
indepen dent, but share th e sa me dat a format and bau d
rate. Parity is not supported by the hardware, but can
be implemented in software and stored as the ninth
data b it.
18.1.1 EUSART ASYNCHRONOUS
TRANSMITTER
The EUSART transmitter block diagram is shown in
Figure 18-1. The heart of the transmitter is the serial
Transmit Shift Register (TSR), which is not directly
accessible by software. The TSR obtains its data from
the transmit buffer, which is the TXREG register.
18.1.1.1 Enabling the Transmitter
The EUSART transmitter is enabled for asynchronous
operations by configuring the following three control
bits:
•TXEN = 1
SYNC = 0
SPEN = 1
All other EUSART control bits are assumed to be in
their default state.
Setting the TXEN bit of the TXSTA register enables the
transmitter circuitry of the EUSART. Clearing the SYNC
bit of the TXSTA register configures the EUSART for
asynchronous operation. Setting the SPEN bit of the
RCSTA register enables the EUSART and
automatically configures the TX/CK I/O pin as an output.
If the TX/CK pin is shared with an analog peripheral the
analog I/O function must be disabled by clearing the
corresponding ANSEL bit.
18.1.1.2 Tr ansmitting Data
A transmission is initiated by writing a character to the
TXREG register. If this is the first character, or the
previous character has been completely flushed from
the TSR, the data in the TXREG is immediately
transferred to the TSR re gister. If the T SR still contains
all or part of a previous character, the new character
data is held in the TXREG until the Stop bit of the
previous character has been transmitted. The pending
character in the TXREG is then tran sferred to the TSR
in one TCY immediately following the Stop bit
transmission. The transmission of the Start bit, data bit s
and Stop bit sequence commences immediately
following the transfer of the data to the TSR from the
TXREG.
18.1.1.3 Transmit Data Polarity
The polarity of the transmit data can be controlled with
the CKTXP bit of the BAUDCON register. The default
state of this bit is ‘0’ which selects high true transmit
idle and data bits. Setting the CKTXP bit to1’ will invert
the trans mit dat a resultin g in low t rue idle an d data b its.
The CKTXP bit controls transmit data polarity only in
Asynchronous mode. In Synchronous mode the
CKTXP bit has a dif ferent function.
18.1.1.4 Tr ansmit Interrupt Flag
The TXIF interrupt flag bit of the PIR1 register is set
whenever the EUSART transmitter is enabled and no
character is being held for transmission in the TXREG.
In other words, the TXIF bit is only clear when the TSR
is busy with a character and a new char acter ha s been
queued for transmission in the TXREG. The TXIF flag
bit is not cleared immediately upon writing TXREG.
TXIF becomes valid in the second instruction cycle
following the w rite execution. Polling TX IF immediately
following the TXREG write will return invalid results. The
TXIF bit is read-only, it cannot be set or cleared by
software.
The TXIF interrupt can be enabled by setting the TXIE
interrupt enable bit of the PIE1 register. However, the
TXIF fla g bit will be set wheneve r the TXR EG is emp ty,
regardless of the state of TXIE enable bit.
To use interrupts when transmitting data, set the TXIE
bit only when there is more data to send. Clear the
TXIE i nterrupt en able bi t upon w riting the last charact er
of the transmission to the TXREG.
Note: The TXIF transmitter interrupt flag is set
when the TXEN enable bit is set.
PIC18F2XK20/4XK20
DS41303G-page 240 2010 Microchip Technology Inc.
18.1.1.5 TSR Status
The TRMT bit of the TXSTA register indicates the
status of the TSR register. This is a read-only bit. The
TRMT bit is set when the TSR register is empty and is
cleared when a character is transferred to the TSR
register from the TXREG. The TRMT bit remains clear
until all bits have been shifted out of the TSR register.
No int errupt lo gic i s tied to this bi t, so th e user needs to
poll this bit to determine the TSR status.
18.1.1.6 Transmitting 9-Bit Characters
The EUSART supports 9-bit character transmissions.
When the TX9 bit of the TXSTA register is set the
EUSART will shif t 9 bits out for each character transmit-
ted. The TX9D bit of the TXSTA register is the ninth,
and Most Significant, data bit. When transmitting 9-bit
data, the TX9D data bit must be written before writing
the 8 Least Sig nificant bit s into the TXREG. All nine bit s
of data will be transferred to the TSR shift register
immediately after the TXREG is written.
A special 9-bit Address mode is available for use with
multiple receivers. See Section 18.1.2.8 “Address
Detection” for more inform ation on the Addre ss mode.
18.1.1.7 Asynchronous Transmission Set-up:
1. Initialize the SPBRGH:SPBRG register pair and
the BRGH and BRG16 bits to achieve the d esired
baud rate (see Section 18.3 “EUSART Baud
Rate Generator (BRG)”).
2. Set the RX/DT and TX/CK TRIS controls to ‘1’.
3. Enable the asy nch ron ous seri al port by clearin g
the SYNC bit and setting the SPEN bit.
4. If 9-bit tran sm ission is des ire d, s et th e TX9 co n-
trol bit. A set nin th data bi t will indicat e that the 8
Least Significant data bits are an address when
the receiver is set for address detection.
5. Set the CKTXP control bit if inverted transmit
data polarity is desired.
6. Enable the transmission by setting the TXEN
contr ol bit . Thi s wi ll c aus e th e TXI F i nte rrup t bi t
to be set.
7. If interrupts are desired, set the TXIE interrupt
enable bit. An interrupt will occur immediately
provided that the GIE and PEIE bits of the INT-
CON regist er are also set.
8. If 9-bit transmission is selected, the ninth bit
should be loaded into the TX9D data bit.
9. Load 8-bit data into the TXREG register. This
will start the transmission.

18.1.2 EUSART ASYNCHRONOUS
RECEIVER
The Asynchronous mode would typically be used in
RS-232 s y ste ms . Th e rec ei ve r bl ock di ag ram is sh ow n
in Figure 18-2. The data is received on 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 serial Receive Shift
Register (RSR) op erat es at the bit rat e. When all 8 or 9
bits of the character have been shifted in, they are
immediately transferred to a two character
First-In-First-Out (FIFO) memory. The FIFO buffering
allows reception of two complete characters and the
start of a third character before software must start
servicing the EUSART receiver. The FIFO and RSR
registers are not directly accessible by software.
Access to the received data is via the RCREG register .
18.1.2.1 Enabling the Receiver
The EUSART receiver is enabled for asynchronous
operatio n by configuring the fol lowing three control bits:
CREN = 1
SYNC = 0
SPEN = 1
All other EUSART control bits are assumed to be in
their default state.
Setting the CREN bit of the RCST A register enables the
receiver circuitry of the EUSART. Clearing the SYNC bit
of the TXSTA register configures the EUSART for
asynchronous operation. Setting the SPEN bit of the
RCSTA register enables the EUSART. The RX/DT I/O
pin must be configured as an input by setting the
corresponding TRIS control bit. If the RX/DT pin is
shared with an analog peripheral the analog I/O function
must be disabled by clearing the corresponding ANSEL
bit.
18.1.2.2 Receiving Data
The receiver data recovery circuit initiates character
receptio n on t he fallin g edge of the first bit. Th e f irst bit,
also known as the Start bit, is always a zero. The data
recovery circuit co unt s one-h alf bi t time to the c enter of
the Start bit and verifies that the bit is still a zero. If it is
not a zero then the data recovery circuit aborts
character reception, without generating an error, and
resumes looking for the falling edge of the Start bit. If
the Start bit zero verification succeeds then the data
recovery circuit c ounts a full bit time to the ce nter of the
next bit. The bit is then sampled by a majority detect
circuit and the resultin g ‘0’ or ‘1’ is sh ifted int o the RSR.
This repeats until all data bits have been sampled and
shif ted into the RSR. One final bit time is measured and
the le ve l samp le d . Thi s is th e Sto p bi t, wh ic h is alwa ys
a ‘1’. If the data recovery circuit samples a ‘0’ in the
Stop bit position then a framing error is set for this
charact er , otherwise th e framing error is c leared for thi s
character. See Section 18.1.2.5 “Receive Framing
Error” for more information on framing errors.
Immediately after all data bits and the Stop bit have
been received, the character in the RSR is transferred
to the EUSART receive FIFO and the RCIF interrupt
flag bit of the PIR1 register is set. The top character in
the FIFO is transferred out of the FIFO by reading the
RCREG register.
18.1.2.3 Receive Data Polarity
The polarity of the receive data can be controlled with
the DTRXP bit of the BAUDCON register. The default
state of this b it is ‘0’ wh ich select s h igh true rece ive idle
and dat a bits. Setting the DTRXP bit to ‘1’ will invert the
receive data re sulting in low true idle and da ta bit s. The
DTRXP bit controls receive data polarity only in Asyn-
chro nous mode . In synch ronous mo de the DTRX P bit
has a different function.
Note: If the receive FIFO is overrun, no addi tional
characters will be received until the overrun
condition is cleared. See Section 18.1.2.6
“Receive Overrun Error” for more
information on overrun errors.
2010 Microchip Technology Inc. DS41303G-page 243
PIC18F2XK20/4XK20
18.1.2.4 Receive Interrupts
The RCIF interrupt flag bit of the PIR1 register is set
whene ver the EUSAR T receiv er is enabl ed and there is
an unread character in the receive FIFO. The RCIF
inter rupt fla g bit is rea d-only, it cann ot be set or cleare d
by software.
RCIF interrupts are enabled by setting the following
bits:
RCIE interrupt enable bit of the PIE1 register
PEIE peripheral interrupt enable bit of the INT-
CON register
GIE global interrupt enable bit of the INTCON
register
The RCIF interrupt flag bit will be set when there is an
unread c haract er in the FIF O, regardless of the st ate of
inter rupt ena ble bit s .
18.1.2.5 Receive Framing Error
Each character in the receive FIFO buffer has a
corresponding framing error Status bit. A framing error
indic ates t hat a Stop bit was not seen at the e xpect ed
time. The framing error status is accessed via the
FERR bit of the RCSTA register. The FERR bit
represen ts the s ta tus o f the top u nread charac ter in the
receive FIFO. Therefore, the FERR bit must be read
before reading the RCREG.
The FERR bit is read-only and only applies to the top
unre ad char acter in the re ceive F IFO. A framing error
(FERR = 1) does not preclude reception of additional
characters. It is not necessary to clear the FERR bit.
Reading the next character from the FIFO buffer will
advance the FIFO to the next character and the next
corresponding framing error.
The FERR bit can be forced clear by clearing the SPEN
bit of the RCSTA register which resets the EUSART.
Clearing the CREN bit of the RCSTA register does not
affect the FERR bit. A framing error by itself does not
generate an interrupt.
18.1.2.6 Receive Overrun Error
The receive FIFO buffer can hold two characters. An
overrun erro r will be generated If a thi rd character, in its
entirety , is received before the FIFO is accessed. When
this happens the OERR bit of the RCSTA register is
set. The characters already in the FIFO buffer can be
read but no additional characters will be received until
the error is c leared. The error mu st be cleared by eith er
clearing the CREN bit of the RCSTA register or by
resetting the EUSART by clearing the SPEN bit of the
RCSTA register.
18.1.2.7 Receiving 9-bit Characters
The EUSAR T support s 9-bit chara cter receptio n. When
the RX9 bit of the RCSTA register is set, the EUSART
will shift 9 bits into the RSR for each character
received. The RX9D bit of the RCSTA register is the
ninth and Most Significant data bit of the top unread
charact er i n t he rec eiv e FIFO . Whe n r ead ing 9-bit data
from the receive FIFO buffer, the RX9D data bit must
be read befo re reading the 8 Le ast Signifi cant bit s from
the RCREG.
18.1.2. 8 Address Detecti on
A special Address Detection mode is available for use
when multiple receivers share the same transmission
line, such as in RS-485 systems. Address detection is
enabled by setting the ADDEN bit of the RCSTA
register.
Address detection requires 9-bit character reception.
When address detection is enabled, only characters
with the ninth data bit set will be transferred to the
rece iv e FI F O bu ffe r, there by s et t i ng th e R CI F i nte r r up t
bit. All other characters will be ignored.
Upon receiving an address character, user software
determines if the address matches its own. Upon
address match, user software must disable address
detection by clearing the ADDEN bit before the next
Stop b it oc cu rs. When use r s oftware de tec t s th e end of
the message, determined by the message protocol
used, software places the receiver back into the
Address Detection mode by setting the ADDEN bit.
Note: If all receive characters in the receive
FIFO have framing errors, repeated reads
of the RCREG will not clear the FERR bit.

18.2 Clock Accuracy with
Asynchronous Operation
The factory calibrates the internal oscillator block out-
put (HFINTOSC). Ho wever, the HFINTOSC frequency
may drift as VDD or temperature changes, and this
directly affec ts the asy nchronou s baud rate. Two meth-
ods may be used to adjus t the baud rate cl ock, but both
require a reference clock source of some kind.
The first (preferred) method uses the OSCTUNE
register to adjust the HFINTOSC output. Adjusting the
value in the OSCTUNE register allows for fine resolution
changes to the system clock source. See Section 2.5
“Internal Clock Modes” for more information.
The other method adjusts the value in the Baud Rate
Generator. This can be done automatically with the
Auto-Baud Detect feature (see Section 18.3.1
“Auto-Baud Detect”). There may not be fine enough
resolution when adjusting the Baud Rate Generator to
compensate for a gradual change in the peripheral
clock frequency.

18.3 EUSART Baud Rate Generator
(BRG)
The Baud Rate Generator (BRG) is an 8-bit or 16-bit
timer that is dedicated to the support of both the
asynchronous and synchronous EUSART operation.
By defau lt, the BRG ope rates in 8-bit mode . Setting th e
BRG16 bit of the BAUDCON register selects 16-bit
mode.
The SPBRGH:SPBRG register pair determines the
period of the free running baud rate timer. In
Asynchronous mode the multiplier of the baud rate
period is determined by both the BRGH bit of the TXST A
register and the BRG1 6 bit of the BAUDCON register. In
Synchronous mode, the BRGH bit is ignored.
Table 18-3 contains the formulas for determining the
baud rate . Example 18-1 provides a sample calcul ation
for determining the baud rate and baud rate error.
Typical baud rates and error values for various
asynchronous modes have been computed for your
convenience and are shown in Table 18-5. It may be
advantageous to use the high baud rate (BRGH = 1),
or the 16-bit BRG (BRG16 = 1) to redu ce th e baud rate
error. The 16-bit BRG mode is used to achieve slow
baud rates for fast oscillator frequencies.
Writing a new value to the SPBRGH, SPBRG register
pair c auses the BRG timer to be reset (or cleared). Thi s
ensures that the BRG do es not wait fo r a timer overflow
before outputting the new baud rate.
If the s ys tem c lo ck is changed duri ng an active r ece iv e
operation, a receive error or data loss may result. To
avoid thi s problem , check the status of the RCID L bit to
make sure that the receive operation is Idle before
changing the system clock.

18.3.1 AUTO-BAUD DETECT
The EUSART module supports automatic detection
and calibration of the baud rate.
In the Auto-Baud Detect (ABD) mode, the clock to the
BRG is reversed. Rather than the BRG clocking the
incoming RX signal, the RX signal is timing the BRG.
The Baud Rate Generator is used to time the period of
a receiv ed 55h (ASCII “U ”) which is the Sync charac ter
for the LIN bus. The unique feature of this character is
that it has five rising edges in cluding the S top bit ed ge.
Setting the ABDEN bit of the BAUDCON register starts
the auto-baud calibration sequence (Figure 18.3.2).
While the ABD sequence takes place, the EUSART
state machine is held in Idle. On the first rising edge of
the receive line, after the Start bit, the SPBRG begins
counting up using the BRG counter clock as shown in
Table 18-6. The fif th rising edge will occur on the RX pi n
at the end of the eighth bit period. At that time, an
accumulated value totaling the proper BRG period is
left in the SPBRGH:SPBRG register pair, the ABDEN
bit is automatically cleared, and the RCIF interrupt flag
is set. A read operation on the RCREG needs to be
performed to clear the RCIF interrupt. RCREG content
should be discarded. When calibrating for modes that
do not use the SPBRGH register the user can verify
that the SPBRG register did not overflow by checking
for 00h in the SPBRGH register.
The BRG au to-baud clock is d etermined by the BRG1 6
and BRGH bits as shown in Table 18-6. During ABD,
both the SPBRGH and SPBRG registers are used as a
16-bit counter, independent of the BRG16 bit setting.
While calibrating the baud rate period, the SPBRGH
and SPBRG registers are clocked at 1/8th the BRG
base clo ck rate. The resu lting byte meas urement is the
average bit time when clocked at full speed.
TABLE 18-6: BRG COUNTER CLOCK RATES
FIGURE 18-6: AUTOMATIC BAUD RATE CALIBRATION
Note 1: If the WUE bit is set with the ABDEN bit,
auto-baud detection w ill occur on the by te
following the Break character (see
Section 18.3.3 “Auto-Wake-up on
Break”).
2: It is up to the user to determine that the
incoming character baud rate is within the
range of the selected BRG clock source.
Some combinations of oscill ator freq uency
and EUSART baud rates are not possible.
3: During the auto-baud process, the
auto-baud counter starts counting at 1.
Upon completion of the auto-baud
sequence, to achieve maximum accuracy,
subtract 1 from the SPBRGH:SPBRG
register pair.

18.3.2 AUTO-BAUD OVERFLOW
During the course of automatic baud detection, the
ABDOVF bit of the BAUDCON register wi ll be set if th e
baud rat e c ou nte r ov erf low s b efore th e fif th rising edg e
is detected on the RX pin. The ABDOVF bit indicates
that the cou nter has exceeded th e maximum co unt that
can fit in the 16 bits of the SPBRGH:SPBRG register
pair. After the ABDOVF has been set, the counter con-
tinues to count until the fifth rising edge is detected on
the RX pin. Upo n det ecting t he fif th RX edge , the hard-
ware will set the RCIF interrupt flag and clear the
ABDEN bit of the BAUDCON register. The RCIF flag
can be subsequently cleared by reading the RCREG.
The ABDOVF flag can be cleared by software directly.
To terminate the auto-baud process before the RCIF
flag is set, clear the ABDEN bit then clear t he ABDOVF
bit. The ABDOVF bit will rem ain s et i f th e ABDEN b it is
not clear ed first.
18.3.3 AUTO-WAKE-UP ON BREAK
During Sleep mode, all clocks to the EUSART are
suspended. Because of this, the Baud Rate Generator
is inactive and a proper character reception cannot be
performed. The Auto-Wake-up feature allows the
controll er to w ake -up due to ac tiv ity on the R X/DT line.
This feature is available only in Asynchronous mode.
The Auto-Wake-up feature is enabled by setting the
WUE bit o f the BAUDCON re gister . Once s et, the normal
receive sequence on RX/DT is disabled, and the
EUSART remains in an Idle state, monitoring for a
wake-up event independent of the CPU mode. A
wake-up ev ent c onsist s of a hi gh-to-low trans ition o n the
RX/DT line. (This coincides with the start of a Sync Break
or a wak e-up sig nal ch arac ter fo r the LIN prot oco l.)
The EUSART module generates an RCIF interrupt
coincident with the wake-up event. The interrupt is
generated s ynchronously to the Q clocks in normal CPU
operating modes (Figure 18-7), and asynchronously if
the device is in Sleep mode (Figure 18-8). The interrupt
condition is cleared by reading the RCRE G regis ter.
The WUE bit is automatically cleared by the low-to-high
transition on the RX line at the end of the Break. This
signals to the user that the Break event is over. At this
point, the EUSART module is in Idle mode waiting to
receive the next character.
18.3.3.1 Special Considerations
Brea k Cha ract er
To avoid character errors or character fragments
during a wake-up event, the wake-up character must
be all zeros.
When the wake-up is enabled the function works
independent of the low time on the data stream. If the
WUE bit is set and a valid non-zero character is
receive d, the low time from the S tar t bit to the firs t rising
edge will be interpreted as the wake-up event. The
remaining bits in the character will be received as a
fragmented character and subsequent characters can
result in framing or overrun errors.
Therefore, the ini tial cha racter in the transmi ssion mus t
be all ‘0s. This must be 10 or more bit times, 13-bit
times recommended for LIN bus, or any number of bit
times for standard RS-232 devices.
Oscillator Startup Time
Oscillator start-up time must be considered, especially
in applications using oscillators with longer start-up
intervals (i.e., LP, XT or HS/PLL mode). The Sync
Break (or wake-up signal) character must be of
sufficient length, and be followed by a sufficient
interval , to allow eno ugh ti me fo r the se lecte d osc illat or
to start and provide proper initialization of the EUSART.
WUE Bit
The wake-up event causes a receive interrupt by
setting the RCIF bit. The WUE bit is cleared by
hardware by a rising edge on RX/DT. The interrupt
condition is then cleared by software by reading the
RCREG register and discarding its contents.
To ensure that no actual data is lost, check the RCIDL
bit to verify that a receive operation is not in process
before set ting the WU E bit. If a recei ve opera tion is not
occurring, the WUE bit may then be set just prior to
entering the Sleep mode.

18.3.4 BREAK CHARACTER SEQUENCE
The EUSART mod ule ha s t he c apabili ty of s en din g th e
special Break chara cter sequences that are required by
the LIN bus standard. A Break character consists of a
St ar t bit, follo w ed by 12 ‘0bits and a Stop bit.
To send a Break character, set the SENDB and TXEN
bits of the TXSTA register. The Break character trans-
mission is then initiated by a write to the TXREG. The
value of data written to TXREG will be ignored and all
0’s will be transmitted.
The SENDB bit is automatically reset by hardware af ter
the correspon din g Stop bit is s ent. This al lo w s the us er
to preloa d the trans mit FIFO with the n ext transm it byte
following the Break character (typically, the Sync
character in the LIN specification).
The TRMT bit of the TXSTA register indicates when the
transmit operation is active or Idle, jus t as it does during
normal transmission. See Figure 18-9 for the timing of
the Break character sequence.
18.3.4.1 Brea k and Sync Trans mi t Seque nc e
The following sequence will start a message frame
header made up of a Break, followed by an auto-baud
Sync byte. This sequence is typical of a LIN bus
master.
1. Configure the EUSART for the desire d mode.
2. Set the TXEN and SENDB bits to enable the
Break sequence.
3. Load the TXREG with a dummy character to
initiate transmission (the value is ignored).
4. Write ‘55h’ to TXREG to load the Sync character
into the transm it FIFO buf f er.
5. After the Break has been se nt, the SEND B bit is
reset by hardware and the Sync character is
then transm itte d.
When the TXR EG b ec om es em pty, as indica ted by th e
TXIF, the next data byte can be written to TXREG.
18.3.5 RECEIVING A BREAK CHARACTER
The Enhanced EUSART module can receive a Break
character in two ways.
The first method to detect a Break character uses the
FERR bit of the RCSTA register and the Rece ived dat a
as indicated by RCREG. The Baud Rate Generator is
assum ed to ha ve been initiali zed to the exp ec t ed bau d
rate.
A Break charac ter has been received when;
RCIF bit is set
FERR bit is set
RCREG = 00h
The second method uses the Auto-Wake-up feature
described in Section 18.3.3 “Auto-Wake-up on
Break”. By enabling this feature, the EUSART will
sample the next two transitions on RX/DT, cause an
RCIF interru pt, and recei ve th e n ext d ata byte fol lowe d
by another interrupt.
Note that following a Break character, the user will
typically want to enable the Auto-Baud Detect feature.
For both methods, the user can set the ABDEN bit of
the B AUD CON reg ist er bef ore plac ing th e EUS ART in
Sleep mode.

18.4 EUSART Synchronous Mode
Synchronous serial communications are typically used
in systems with a single master and one or more
slaves. The master device contains the necessary
circuit ry for b aud rate ge neration and supplies the clock
for all devices in the system. Slave devices can take
advantage of the master clock by eliminating the
internal clock generation circuitry.
There are two signal lines in Synchronous mode: a
bidirectional data line and a clock line. Slaves use the
external clock supplied by the master to shift the serial
data into and out of their respective receive and
transmit shift registers. Since the data line is
bidirectional, synchronous operation is half-duplex
only. Half-duplex refers to the fact that master and
slave devices can receive and transmit data but not
both simultaneously. The EUSART can operate as
either a m aster or slave device.
Start and Stop bits are not used in synchronous
transmissions.
18.4.1 SYNCHRONOUS MASTER MODE
The following bits are used to configure the EUSART
for Synchronous Master operation:
SYNC = 1
CSRC = 1
SREN = 0 (for transmit); SREN = 1 (for receive)
CREN = 0 (for transmit); CREN = 1 (for receive)
SPEN = 1
Setting the SYNC bit of the TXSTA register configures
the de vi c e f or sy n ch ron ous opera tion. Setti ng the CSRC
bit of the TXSTA register configures the device as a
master. Clearing the SREN and CREN bits of the RCST A
regis ter ensures th at the dev ic e i s in th e Tra ns m it mode,
otherwise the device will be configured to receive. Setting
the SPEN bit of the RCSTA register enables the
EUSAR T. If the RX/DT or TX/CK pi ns are shared with an
analog peripheral the analog I/O functions must be
disab le d by c le aring the co rre sp on ding ANSE L b its.
The TRIS bits corresponding to the RX/DT and TX/CK
pins should be set.
18.4.1.1 Master Clock
Synchronous data transfers use a separate clock line,
which is synchronous wi th the data. A device configured
as a master transmits the clock on the TX/CK line. The
TX/CK pin output driver is automatically enabled when
the EUSART is configured for synchronous transmit or
receive operation. Serial dat a bits change on the leading
edge to ensure they are valid at the trailing edge of each
clock. One clock cycle is generated for each data bit.
Only as many clock cycles are generated as there are
da ta bits.
18.4.1.2 Clock Polarity
A clock polarity option is provided for Microwire
comp atibilit y. Clock polari ty is se lected w ith the CKTXP
bit of the BAUDCON register. Setting the CKTXP bit
sets t he cloc k Idl e s tate as high . W hen the C KTXP bit
is set, the data changes on the falling edge of each
clock and is sampled on the rising edge of each clock.
Clearing th e CKTXP bit sets the Idle state as low . When
the CKTXP bit is cleared, the data changes on the
rising edge of each clock and is sampled on the falling
edge of each clock.
18.4.1.3 Synchronous Master Transmission
Data is transferred out of the device on the RX/DT pin.
The RX/DT and TX/C K pi n outp ut driv ers ar e aut oma t-
ically enabled when the EUSART is configured for
synchronous master transmit operation.
A transmission is initiated by writing a character to the
TXREG reg is ter. If the TSR st ill co nt a ins al l or part of a
previous character the new character dat a is held in the
TXREG until the last bit of the previous character has
been tr ansmitted. If this is the first charac ter , or the pre-
vious character has been completely flushed from the
TSR, the d ata in th e TXREG is im mediatel y transferre d
to the TSR. The transmission of the character com-
mences immediately following the transfer of the data
to the TSR from the TXREG.
Each dat a bi t changes on the leadi ng ed ge of the mas-
ter cloc k and remains valid until the subseque nt leading
clock edge.
18.4.1.4 Data Polarity
The polarity of the transmit and receive data can be
controlled with the DTRXP bit of the BAUDCON regis-
ter. The default sta te of thi s bi t is ‘0’ which selec ts high
true transmit and receive data. Setting the DTRXP bit
to ‘1’ will invert the data resulting in low true transmit
and receive data.
Note: The TSR register is not mapped in data
memory, so it is not available to the user.

18.4.1.5 Synchronous Master Transmission
Set-up:
1. Initialize the SPBRGH, SPBRG reg ister pair and
the BRGH and BRG16 bits to achieve the
des i red baud rate (see Section 18.3 “EUSART
Baud Rate Generator (BRG)”).
2. Set the RX/DT and TX/CK TRIS controls to ‘1’.
3. Enable the synchronous master serial port by
setting bits SYNC, SPEN and CSRC. Set the
TRIS bits corresponding to the RX/DT and
TX/CK I/O pins.
4. Disable Receive mode by clearing bits SREN
and CREN.
5. Enable Transmit mode by setting the TXEN bit.
6. If 9-bit transmission is desired, set the TX9 bit.
7. If interrupts are desired, set the TXIE, GIE and
PEIE interrupt enable bits.
8. If 9-bit transmission is selected, the ninth bit
should be loaded in the TX9D bit.
9. Start transmission by loading data to the
TXREG register.

18.4.1.6 Synchronous Master Reception
Data is received at the RX/DT pin. The RX/DT pin
output driver must be disabled by setting the
corresponding TRIS bits when the EUSART is
configured for synchronous master receive operation.
In Synchronous mode, reception is enabled by setting
either the Single Receive Enable bit (SREN of the
RCSTA register) or the Continuous Receive Enable bit
(CREN of the RCSTA register).
When SREN is set and CREN is clear, only as many
clock cycles are generated as there are data bits in a
single character. The SREN bit is automatically cleared
at the com pletio n of one c har acter. When CREN i s set,
clocks are continuously generated until CREN is
cleared . If CREN is cleared in the middle of a c haracter
the CK clo ck sto p s imm ed iat ely and t he p a rtia l charac-
ter is discarded. If SREN and CREN are both set, then
SREN is cl eared at the co mpletion of the first cha racter
and CREN takes precedence.
To initiate reception, set either SREN or CREN. Data is
sampled at the RX/DT pin on the trailing edge of the
TX/CK clock pin and is shifted into the Receive Shift
Register (RSR). When a complete character is
received into the RSR, the RCIF bit is set and the
character is automatically transferred to the two
charact er receive FIFO. Th e Least Signifi cant eight bit s
of the top character in the receive FIFO are available in
RCREG. The RCIF bit remains set as long as there are
un-read charac ter s in the receive FIFO.
18.4.1.7 Slave Clock
Synchronous data transfers use a separate clock line,
which is synchronous wi th the data. A device configured
as a slave receives the clock on the TX/CK line. The
TX/CK pin output driver must be disabled by setting the
associated TRIS bit when the device is configured for
synchronous slave transmit or receive operation. Serial
data bits change on the leading edge to ensure they are
valid at the trailing edge of each clock. One data bit is
transferred for each clock cycle. Only as many clock
cycles should be received as there are dat a bits.
18.4.1.8 Receive Overrun Error
The receive FIFO buffer can hold two characters. An
overrun e rror will be genera ted if a th ird charac ter , in it s
entirety, is received before RCREG is read to access
the FIFO. When this happens the OERR bit of the
RCSTA register is set. Previous data in the FIFO will
not be overwritten. The two characters in the FIFO
buffer can be read, however, no additional characters
will be recei ved until the error is cle ared. The OERR bit
can only be cleared by clearing the overrun condition.
If the overrun error occurred when the SREN bit is set
and CREN is clear then the error is cleared by reading
RCREG. If the overrun occurred when the CREN bit is
set then th e error conditi on is cleared b y either clearin g
the CREN bit of the RCSTA register or by clearing the
SPEN bit which resets the EUSART.
18.4.1.9 Receiving 9-bit Characters
The EUSAR T support s 9-bit chara cter receptio n. When
the RX9 bit of the RCSTA register is set the EUSART
will shift 9-bits into the RSR for each character
received. The RX9D bit of the RCSTA register is the
ninth, and Most Significant, data bit of the top unread
charact er i n t he rec eiv e FIFO . Whe n r ead ing 9-bit data
from the receive FIFO buffer, the RX9D data bit must
be read befo re reading the 8 Le ast Signifi cant bit s from
the RCREG.
18.4.1.10 Synchronous Master Reception
Set-up:
1. Initialize the SPBRGH, SPBRG register pair for
the appropriate baud rate. Set or clear the
BRGH and BRG16 bits, as required, to achieve
the desired baud rate.
2. Set the RX/DT and TX/CK TRIS controls to ‘1’.
3. Enable the synchronous master serial port by
setting bits SYNC, SPEN and CSRC. Disable
RX/DT and TX/CK output drivers by setting the
corresponding TRIS bits.
4. Ensure bits CREN and SREN are clear.
5. If using interrupts, set the GIE and PEIE bits of
the INTCON register and set RCIE.
6. If 9-bit reception is desired, set bit RX9.
7. Start reception by setting the SREN bit or for
continuous reception, set the CREN bit.
8. Interrupt fla g bit RCIF will be se t when receptio n
of a character is complete. An interrupt will be
generated if the enable bit RCIE was set.
9. Read the RCSTA register to get the ninth bit (if
enabled) and determine if any error occurred
during reception.
10. Read the 8-bit received data by reading the
RCREG register.
11. If an overrun error occurs, clear the error by
either clearing the CREN bit of the RCSTA
register o r by clearing the SPEN bit which res ets
the EUSART.

18.4.2 SYNCHRONOUS SLAVE MODE
The following bits are used to configure the EUSART
for Synchronous slave operation:
SYNC = 1
CSRC = 0
SREN = 0 (for transmit); SREN = 1 (for receive)
CREN = 0 (for transmit); CREN = 1 (for receive)
SPEN = 1
Setting the SYNC bit of the TXSTA register configures
the device for synchronous operation. Clearing the
CSRC bit of the TXSTA register configures the device as
a slave. Clearing the SREN and CREN bits of the RCST A
regis ter ensures that the device is in the Transmit mode,
otherwise the device will be configured to receive. Setting
the SPEN bit of the RCSTA register enables the
EUSART. If the RX/DT or TX/CK pins are shared with an
analog peripheral the analog I/O functions must be
disabled by clearing the corresponding ANSEL bits.
RX/DT and TX/CK pin output drivers must be disabled
by setting the corresponding TRIS bits.
18.4.2.1 EUSART Synchronous Slave
Transmit
The operation of the Synchronous Master and Slave
modes are identical (see Section 18.4.1.3
“Synchronous Master Transmission”), except in the
case of the Sleep mode.
If two words are written to the TXREG and then the
SLEEP instruction is executed, the following will occur:
1. The first character will immediately transfer to
the TSR register and transmit.
2. The seco nd word will rem ain in TXRE G registe r .
3. The TXIF bit will not be set.
4. After the first character has been shifted out of
TSR, the TXREG register will transfer the second
character to the TSR and the TXIF bit will now be
set.
5. If the PEIE and TXIE bits are set, the interrupt
will wa ke the dev ice from Sleep and e xecute the
next instruction. If the GIE bit is also set, the
program will call the Interrupt Service Routine.
18.4.2.2 Synchronous Slave Transmission
Set-up:
1. Set the SYNC and SPEN bits and clear the
CSRC bit.
2. Set the RX/DT and TX/CK TRIS controls to ‘1’.
3. Clear the CREN and SREN bits.
4. If using interrup ts, ensu re that the GIE and PEIE
bits of the INTCON register are set and set the
TXIE bit.
5. If 9-bit transmission is desired, set the TX9 bit.
6. Enable transmission by setting the TXEN bit.
7. If 9-bit transmission is selected, insert the Most
Significant bit into the TX9D bit.
8. Start transmission by writing the Least
Significant 8 bits to the TXREG register.

18.4.2.3 EUSART Synchronous Slave
Reception
The operation of the Synchronous Master and Slave
modes is identical (Section 18.4.1.6 “Synchronous
Master Reception”), with the following exceptions:
Sleep
CREN bit is always set, therefore the receiver is
nev er Idle
SR EN bit, which is a “don't care” in Slave mode
A character may be received while in Sleep mode by
setting the CREN bit prior to entering Sleep. Once the
word is rec eived, th e RSR regist er will tran sfer the da ta
to the RCREG register . If the RCIE enable bit is set, the
interrupt generated will wake the device from Sleep
and execute the next instruction. If the GIE bit is also
set, the program will branch to the interrupt vector.
18.4.2.4 Synchronous Slave Reception
Set-up:
1. Set the SYNC and SPEN bits and clear the
CSRC bit.
2. Set the RX/DT and TX/CK TRIS controls to ‘1’.
3. If using interrup ts, ensu re that the GIE and PEIE
bits of the INTCON register are set and set the
RCIE bit.
4. If 9-bit reception is desired, set the RX9 bit.
5. Set the CREN bit to enable reception.
6. The RCIF bit will be set when reception is
complete. An interrupt will be generated if the
RCIE bit was set.
7. If 9-bit mode is enabled, retrieve the Most
Significant bit from the RX9D bit of the RCSTA
register.
8. Retrieve the 8 Least Significant bits from the
receive FIFO by reading the RCREG register.
9. If an overrun error occurs, clear the error by
either clearing the CREN bit of the RCSTA
register o r by clearing the SPEN bit which res ets
the EUSART.

19.0 ANALOG-TO-DIGITAL
CONVERTER (ADC) MODULE
The Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) allows
conversion of an analog input signal to a 10-bit binary
representation of that signal. This device uses analog
inputs, which are multiplexed into a single sample and
hold circuit. The output of the sample and hold is
connected to the input of the converter. The converter
generates a 10-bit binary result via successive
approximation and stores the conversion result into the
ADC result registers (ADRESL and ADRESH).
The ADC voltage reference is software selectable to
either VDD or a v olt age appli ed to the external reference
pins.
The ADC can generate an interrupt upon completion of
a conversion. This interrupt ca n be used to wake-up the
device from Sleep.
Figure 19-1 shows the block diagram of the ADC.

19.1 ADC Configuration
When configuring and using the ADC the following
functio ns must be considere d:
Port configuration
Channel selection
ADC voltage reference selection
ADC co nversion cl ock source
Interrupt control
Results formatting
19.1.1 PORT CONFIGURATION
The ANSEL, ANSELH, TRISA, TRISB and TRISE reg-
isters all configure the A/D port pins. Any port pin
needed a s an an alog inpu t should ha ve its correspon d-
ing ANSx bit set to disable the digital input buffer and
TRISx bit set to disable the digital output driver. If the
TRISx bit is cleared, the digital output level (VOH or
VOL) will be converted.
The A/D operation is independent of the state of the
ANSx bits and the TRIS bits.
19.1.2 CHANNEL SELECTION
The CHS bits of the ADCON0 r egister det ermine whic h
channel is connected to the sample and hold circuit.
When changing channels, a delay is required before
starting the next conversion. Refer to Section 19.2
“ADC Operation” for more information.
19.1.3 ADC VOLTAGE REFERENCE
The VCFG bits of the ADCON1 register provide
independent control of the positive and negative
voltage references. Th e positive voltage reference can
be eit her VDD or an external voltage source. Likewise,
the negative voltage reference can be either VSS or an
external voltage source.
19.1.4 SELECTING AND CONFIGURING
ACQUISITIO N TIME
The ADCON2 register allows the user to select an
acquisition time that occurs each time the GO/DONE
bit is set.
Acquisition time is set with the ACQT<2:0> bits of the
ADCON2 register. Acquisition delays cover a range of
2 to 20 TAD. When the GO/DONE bit is set, the A/D
module continues to sample the input for the selected
acquisition time, then automatically begins a conver-
sion. Since the a cquisition ti me is pro grammed, th ere is
no need to wait for an acquisition time between select-
ing a channel and setting the GO/DONE bit.
Manual acquisition is selected when
ACQT<2:0> = 000. When the GO/DONE bit is set,
sampli ng is stoppe d and a conv ersion begins. The user
is responsible for ensuri ng the required acquisition time
has passed between selecting the desired input
channel and setting the GO/DONE bit. This option is
also the defaul t Res et st ate o f the AC QT<2:0> b it s and
is compatible with devices that do not offer
progra mmable acquisit ion times .
In either case, when the conversion is completed, the
GO/DONE bit is cleared, the ADIF flag is set and the
A/D begins sampling the currently selected channel
again. When an acquisition time is programmed, there
is n o indic ation of wh en th e acqu isit ion ti me en ds and
the conversion begins.
19.1.5 CONVERSION CLOCK
The source of the conversion clock is software select-
able via the ADCS bits of the ADCON2 register. There
are seven possible clock options:
•F
OSC/2
•F
OSC/4
•FOSC/8
•F
OSC/16
•F
OSC/32
•F
OSC/64
•FRC (dedicated internal oscillator)
The time to complete one bit conversion is defined as
TAD. One ful l 1 0-b it c on ve rsi on requires 11 TAD periods
as shown in Figure 19-3.
For correct conversion, the appropriate TAD specificatio n
must be met. See A/D conversion requirements in
Table 26-25 for more information. Table 19-1 gives
examples of appropriate ADC clock selections.
Note 1: When reading the PORT register, all pins
with their corresponding ANSx bit set
read as cleared (a low level). However,
analog conversion of pins configured as
digital inputs (ANSx bit cleared and
TRISx bit set) will be accurately
converted.
2: Analog levels on any pin with the corre-
sponding ANSx bit cleared may cause the
digit al input buf fe r to consume current out
of the device’s specification limits.
3: The PBADEN bit in Configuration
Register 3H configures PORTB pins to
reset as analog or digital pins by
controlling how the bits in ANSELH are
reset.
Note: Unless using the FRC, any changes in the
system clock frequency will change the
ADC clock frequency, which may
adversely affect the ADC result.

PIC18F2XK20/4XK20
19.1.6 INTERRUPTS
The ADC module allows for the ability to generate an
interrupt upon completion of an Analog-to-Digital
Conversion. The ADC interrupt flag is the ADIF bit in
the PIR1 register . The ADC i nterrupt enable is the ADIE
bit in the PIE1 register. The ADIF bit must be cleared by
software.
This interrupt can be generated while the device is
operatin g or while in Slee p. If the device is in Slee p, the
interrupt will wake-up the device. Upon waking from
Sleep, the next instruction following the SLEEP
instruction is always executed. If the user is attempting
to wake-up from Sleep and resume in-line code
execution, the global interrupt must be disabled. If the
global interrupt is enabled, execution will switch to the
Interrupt Service Routine. Please see Section 19.1.6
“Interrupts” for more information.
TABLE 19-1: ADC CLOCK PERIOD (TAD) VS. DEVICE OPERATING FREQUENCIES
19.1.7 RESULT FORM ATTING
The 10-bit A/D conversion res ult can be supplied in two
formats, left justified or right justified. The ADFM bit of
the ADCON2 register controls the output format.
Figure 19-2 shows the two output formats.
FIGURE 19-2: 10-BIT A/D CONVERSION RESULT FORMAT
Note: The ADIF bit is set at the completion of
every conversion, regardless of whether
or not the ADC interrupt is enabled.

Note 1: The FRC source has a typical TAD time of 1.7 s.
2: These values violate the minimum required TAD time.
3: For faster conversion times, the selection of another clock source is recommended.
4: When the device frequency is greater than 1 MHz, the FRC clock source is only recommended if the
conversion will be perf ormed during S leep.

19.2 ADC Operation
19.2.1 STARTING A CONVERSION
To enable the ADC module, the ADON bit of the
ADCON0 register must be set to a ‘1’. Setting the GO/
DONE bit of the ADCON0 regis ter to a ‘1’ wil l, depend-
ing on the ACQT bits of the ADCON2 register, either
immediately start the Analog-to-Digital conversion or
start an acquisition delay followed by the Analog-to-
Digital conversion.
Figure 19-3 shows the operation of the A/D converter
after the GO bit has been set and the ACQT<2:0> bits
are cleared. A conversion is started after the following
instruction to allow entry into SLEEP mode before the
conversion begins.
Figure 19-4 shows the operation of the A/D converter
after the GO bit has been set and the ACQT<2:0> bits
are set to ‘010’ which se lec ts a 4 TAD acquisition time
before the conversion starts.

FIGURE 19-4: A/D CONVERSION TAD CYCLE S (ACQT<2:0> = 010, TACQ = 4 TAD)
Note: The G O/DONE bit sh ould n ot be set in th e
same instruction that turns on the ADC.

sion Procedure”.

PIC18F2XK20/4XK20
19.2.2 COMPLETION OF A CONVERSION
When the conversion is complete, the ADC module will:
Clear the GO/DONE bit
Set the ADIF flag bit
Update the ADRESH: ADRESL regis ters with new
conversion result
19.2.3 DISCHARGE
The discharge phase is used to initialize the value of
the cap acitor array. The array is discharge d afte r every
sample. This feature helps to optimize the unity-gain
amplifier, as the circuit always needs to charge the
capacitor array , rather than charge/discharge based on
previous meas ure va lues.
19.2.4 TERMINATING A CONVERSION
If a conversion must be terminated before completion,
the GO/DONE bit can be cleared by software. The
ADRESH:ADRESL registers will not be updated with
the partially complete Analog-to-Digital conversion
sample. Instead, the ADRESH:ADRESL register pair
will retain the value of the previous conversion.
19.2.5 DELAY BETWEEN CONVERSIONS
After the A/D conversion is completed or aborted, a
2T
AD wait is required before the next acquisition can
be started. After this wait, the currently selected
channel is reconnected to the charge holding capacitor
comm encing the next acquisition.
19.2.6 ADC OPERATION IN POWER-
MANAGED MODES
The selection of the automatic acquisition time and A/D
conversion clock is determined in part by the clock
source and frequency while in a power-managed mode.
If the A/D is expected to operate while the device is in
a power-managed mode, the ACQT<2:0> and
ADCS<2:0> bits in ADCON2 should be updated in
accordance with the clock source to be used in that
mode. After entering the mode, an A/D acquisition or
conversion may be started. Once started, the device
should continue to be clocked by the same clock
sour ce unt il the con ve r si on has been co mpl ete d.
If desired, the device may be placed into the
corr espondi ng Idle m ode dur ing the convers ion. I f the
devi ce clock fre quency is l ess than 1 MHz, the A/ D FRC
clock source should be selected.
19.2.7 ADC OPERATION DURING SLEEP
The ADC module can operate during Sleep. This
requires the ADC clock source to be set to the FRC
option. When the FRC clock source is selected, the
ADC wa its on e addition al instru ction bef ore sta rting the
conversion. This allows the SLEEP instruction to be
executed, which can reduce system noise during the
conversion. If the ADC interrupt is enabled, the device
will wake-up from Sleep when the conversion
completes. If the ADC interrupt is disabled, the ADC
module is turned off after the conversion completes,
although the ADON bit remains set.
When the ADC clock source is something other than
FRC, a SLEEP instruction causes the present conver-
sion to be aborted and the ADC module is turned off,
although the ADON bit remains set.
19.2.8 SPECIAL EVENT TRIGGER
The CCP2 Special Event Trigger allows periodic ADC
measurements without software intervention. When
this trigger occurs, the GO/DONE bit is set by hardware
and the Timer1 or Timer3 counter resets to zero.
Using the Special Event Trigger does not assure
proper ADC timing. It is the user’s responsibility to
ensure that the ADC timing requirements are met.
See Sec tion 1 1. 3.4 “S pecial Event Trigger” for mo re
information.
Note: A device Reset forces all registers to their
Reset state. Thus, the ADC module is
turned off and any pending conversion is
terminated.

19.3 A/D Acquisition Requirements
For the A DC t o meet i ts 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 19-5. 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), see Figure 19-5.
The maximum recommended impedance for analog
sources is 10 k. As the source impedance is
decreased, the acquisition time may be decreased.
After the analog input channel is selected (or changed),
an A/D acquisition must be done before the conversion
can be started. To calculate the minimum acquisition
time, Equation 19-1 may be used. This equation
assumes that 1/2 LSb error is used (1024 steps for the
ADC). The 1/2 LSb erro r is the maximum er ror allow ed
for the ADC to meet its specified resolution.

3.0V VDD=
Assumptions:
Note 1: The reference voltage (VREF) has no effect on the equation, since it cancels itself out.

20.0 COMPARATOR MODULE
Comparators are used to interface analog circuits to a
digital circuit by comparing two analog voltages and
providing a digital indication of their relative magnitudes.
The comparators are very useful mixed signal building
blocks because they provide analog functionality
independent of the program execution. The Analog
Comparator module includes the following features:
Independent comparator control
Programmable input selection
Comparator ou tput is avail able internall y/externally
Programmable output polarity
Interrupt-on-change
Wake-up from Sleep
Programmable Speed/Power optimization
•PWM shutdown
Programmable and fixed voltage reference
20.1 Comp arator Overview
A singl e com pa rator i s sho wn i n Fig ure 20-1 along wi th
the relationship between the analog input levels and
the digital output. When the analog voltage at VIN+ is
less than the analog voltage at VIN-, the output of the
comparator is a digital low level. When the analog
voltage at VIN+ is greater than the analog voltage at
VIN-, the outp ut of the comp arat or is a digit al high le vel.

20.2 Comparator Control
Each comparator has a separate control and Configu-
ration register: CM1CON0 for Comparator C1 and
CM2CON0 for Comparator C2. In addition, Compara-
tor C2 has a second control register, CM2CON1, for
controlling the interaction with Timer1 and simultane-
ous reading of both comparator outputs.
The CM1CON0 and CM2CON0 registers (see Regis-
ters 20-1 and 20-2, respectively) contain the control
and Status bits for the following:
Enable
Input selection
Reference selection
•Output selection
Output pol arit y
Speed selection
20.2.1 COMPARATOR ENABLE
Setting the CxON bit of the CMxCON0 register enables
the comparator for operation. Clearing the CxON bit
disables the comparator resulting in minimum current
consumption.
20.2.2 COMPARATOR INPUT SELECTION
The CxCH<1:0> bits of the CMxCON0 register direct
one of four analog input pins to the comparator
inverting input.
20.2.3 COMPARATOR REFERENCE
SELECTION
Setting the CxR bit of the CMxCON0 register directs an
internal voltage reference or an analog input pin to the
non-inverting input of the comparator. See
Section 21.0 “VOLTAGE REFERENCES for more
information on t he Inter nal Voltage Reference module.
20.2.4 COMPARATOR OUTPUT
SELECTION
The output of the comparator can be monitored by
reading either the CxOUT bit of the CMxCON0 register
or the MCxOUT bit of the CM2CON1 register. In order
to make the output available for an external connection,
the following conditions must be true:
CxOE bit of the CMxCON0 register must be set
Corresponding TRIS bit must be cleared
CxON bit of the CMxCON0 register must be set
20.2.5 COMPARATOR OUTPUT POLARITY
Inverting the output of the comparator is functionally
equivalent to swapping the comparator inputs. The
polarity of the comparator output can be inverted by
setting the CxPOL bit of the CMxCON0 register.
Clearing the CxPOL bit result s in a non-inverted output.
Table 20-1 shows the output state versus input
conditions, including polarity control.
20.2.6 COMPARATOR SPEED SELECTION
The trade-off between speed or power can be opti-
mized d uri ng p rog ram ex ec utio n wi th th e C x SP co ntro l
bit. The default state for this bit is ‘1’ which selects the
normal speed mode. Device power consumption can
be opt imized at the cos t of slower co mparator pro paga-
tion delay by clearing the CxSP bit to ‘0’.
20.3 Comparator Response Time
The comparator output is indeterminate for a period of
time after the change of an input source or the selection
of a new refe rence volta ge. This period is refer red to as
the response time. The response time of the
comparator differs from the settling time of the voltage
reference. Therefore, both of these times must be
considered when determining the total response time
to a comparator input change. See the Comparator and
Voltage Reference Specifications in Section 26.0
“Electri cal Characte ristics” for more details.
Note: To use CxIN+ and C 12INx- pi ns as an alog
inputs, the appropriate bits must be set in
the ANSEL register and the corresponding
TRIS bits must also be set to disable the
output dr ivers.
Note 1: The CxOE bit overrides the PORT data
latch. Setting the CxON has no impact on
the port overrid e.
2: The internal output of the comparator is
latched with each instruction cycle.
Unless otherwise specified, external
outputs are not latched.

20.4 Comparator Interrupt Operation
The comparator interrupt flag can be set whenever
there is a chang e in the o utput val ue of the compa rator.
Changes are recognized by means of a mismatch
circuit which consists of two latches and an exclusive-
or gat e (see Figu re 20-2 and Figure 20-3). One latc h is
updated with the comparator output level when the
CMxCO N0 regi ster is read . Th is la tc h re tains the v alu e
until the next read of the CMxCON0 register or the
occurre nce of a Reset. The other la tch of the mism atch
circuit is updated on every Q1 system clock. A
mismatch condition will occur when a comparator
output change is clocked through the second latch on
the Q1 clock cycle. At this point the two mismatch
latches have opposite output levels which is detected
by the exclusive-or gate and fed to the interrupt
circuitry. The mismatch condition persists until either
the CMxCON0 register is read or the comparator
output returns to the previous state.
The comparator interrupt is set by the mismatch edge
and not the mismatch level. This means that the inter-
rupt flag can be reset without the additional step of
reading or writing the CMxCON0 register to clear the
mismatch registers. When the mismatch registers are
cleared, an interrupt will oc cur upon the comparator ’s
return to the previous state, otherwise no interrupt will
be generated.
Software will need to maintain information about the
status of the comparator output, as read from the
CMxCON0 register, or CM2CON1 register, to determine
the actual change that has occurred. See Figures 2 0-4
and 20-5.
The CxIF bit of the PIR2 register is the comparator
interrupt flag. This bit must be reset by software by
clearing it to0’. Since i t i s also po ssib le t o writ e a ‘1’ to
this register, an interrupt can be generated.
In mid-range Compatibility mode the CxIE bit of the
PIE2 register and the PEIE and GIE bits of the INTCON
register must all b e set to enable comp arator in terrupts.
If any of these bits are cleared, the interrupt is not
enabled, although the CxIF bit of the PIR2 register will
still be set if an interrupt condition occurs.
20.4.1 PRESETTING THE MISMATCH
LATCHES
The comparator mismatch latches can be preset to the
desired state before the comparators are enabled.
When the comparator is off the CxPOL bit controls the
CxOUT level. Set the C xPOL bit to the desi red CxOU T
non-inte rrupt lev el w hile th e CxON bi t is clea red. The n,
configu re the de sired CxPO L leve l in the same ins truc-
tion that t he CxON bit is se t. Since all register writes are
performed as a Read-Modify-Write, the mismatch
latches will be cleared during the instruction Read
phase and the actual configuration of the CxON and
CxPOL bits will be occur in the final Write phase.

INTERRUPT TIMING W/O
CMxCON0 READ
FIGURE 20-5: COMPARATOR
INTERRUPT TIMING WITH
CMxCON0 READ
Note 1: A write operation to the CMxCON0
register will also clear the mismatch
condition because all writes include a read
operation at the beginning of the write
cycle.
2: Comparator interrupts will operate correctly
regardless of the state of CxOE.
Note 1: If a change in the CMxCON0 register
(CxOUT) s hould occu r when a read op er-
ation is being executed (start of the Q2
cycle), then the CxIF interrupt flag of the
PIR2 register may not get set.
2: When either comparator is first enabled,
bias circuitry in the Comparator module
may cause an invalid output from the
comparator until the bias circuitry is stable.
Allow about 1 s for bias settling then clear
the mismatch condition and interrupt flags
before enabling comparator interrupts.

20.5 Operation During Sleep
The compa rator , if enabled b efore entering Sleep mode,
remains active during Sleep. The additional current
consumed by the comp arator is show n separately in the
Section 26.0 “Electrical Characteristics”. If the
comparator is not used to wake the device, power
consumption can be minimized while in Sleep mode by
turning off the comp arator. Each comparator is turned of f
by clearing the CxON bit of the CMxCON0 register.
A change to the comparator output can wake-up the
device from Sleep. To enable the comparator to wake
the devic e from Sle ep, the CxIE bit of the PIE2 reg ister
and the PEIE bit of the INTCON register must be set.
The instruction following the SLEEP instru ction always
executes following a wake from Sleep. If the GIE bit of
the INTCON register is also set, the device will then
execute the Interrupt Service Routine.
20.6 Effects of a Reset
A device Reset forces the CMxCON0 and CM2CON1
registers to their Reset states. This forces both
comparators and the voltage references to their Off
states.

20.7 Analog Input Connection
Considerations
A simplified circuit for an analog input is shown in
Figure 20-6. Since the analog input pins share their
connection with a digital input, they have reverse
biased ESD protection diodes to VDD and VSS. The
analog in put, therefore, must be between VSS and VDD.
If the input voltage deviates from this range by more
than 0.6V in either direction, one of the diodes is
forward biased and a latch-up may occur.
A maximum source impedance of 10 k is recommended
for the analog sources. Also, any external component
connected to an anal og inpu t pin, such as a capacitor or
a Zener diode, should h ave very little leakage curr ent to
minimize inaccuracies introduced.
FIGURE 20-6: ANALOG INPUT MODEL
Note 1: When reading a PORT register, all pins
configu red a s anal og inp uts will read as a
0’. Pins configured as digital inputs will
convert as an analog input, according to
the input specification.
2: Analog levels on any pin defined as a
digit al input, may ca use the input buff er to
consume more current than is specified.

20.8 Additional Comparator Features
There are two additional comparator features:
Simultaneous read of comparator outputs
Internal refe renc e sel ec tio n
20.8.1 SIMULTANEOUS COMPARATOR
OUTPUT READ
The MC1OUT and MC2OUT bits of the CM2CON1
register are mirror copies of both comparator outputs.
The ability to read both outputs simultaneously from a
single register eliminates the timing skew of reading
separate registers.
20.8.2 INTERNAL REFERENCE
SELECTION
There are two internal voltage references available to
the non-inverting input of each comparator. One of
these is the 1.2V Fixed Voltage Reference (FVR) and
the othe r is the va riable Com parator V o ltage Referenc e
(CVREF). The CxRSEL bit of the CM2CON register
determines which of these references is routed to the
Comparator Voltage reference output (CXVREF). Fur-
ther routing to the comparator is accomplished by the
CxR bit of the CMxCON0 register. See Section 21.1
“Comparator Voltage Reference” and Figure 20-2
and Figure 20-3 for more detail.

the CVR CON reg ister w ill e nable the vo lta ge refer ence
by allowing current to flow in the CVREF volt age divider.
When both th e CVREN bit is cleared, current flow in the
CVREF voltag e divide r is dis abled m inimizi ng the po wer
drain of the voltage reference peripheral.
21.1.2 OUTPUT VOLTAGE SELECTION
The CVREF voltage reference has 2 ranges with 16
voltage levels in each range. Range selection is
controlled by the CVRR bit of the CVRCON register.
The 16 levels are set with the CVR<3:0> bits of the
CVRCON register.
The CVREF output voltage is determined by the
following equations:
EQUATION 21-1: CVREF OUTPUT VOLTAGE
The full range of VSS to VDD cannot be realized due to
the construction of the module. See Figure 21-1.
21.1.3 OUTPUT CLAMPED TO VSS
The CVREF output voltage can be set to Vss with no
power consumption by configuring CVRCON as
follows:
CVREN = 0
•CVRR=1
•CVR<3:0>=0000
This allows the comparator to detect a zero-crossing
while not consuming additional CVREF module current.
21.1.4 OUTPUT RATIOMETRIC TO VDD
The comparator voltage reference is VDD derived and
therefore, the CVREF output changes with fluctuations in
VDD. The tested absolute accuracy of the Comparator
Voltage Reference can be found in Section 26.0
“Electr ical Characteristics”.
21.1.5 VOLTAGE REFERENCE OUTPUT
The CVREF voltage reference can be output to the
devi ce CV REF pin by setting the CVROE bit of the CVR-
CON register to ‘1’. Selecting the reference voltage for
output on the CVREF pin automatically overrides the
digital output buffer and digital input threshold detector
functions of that pin. Reading the CVREF pin when it
has been configured for reference voltage output will
always return a ‘0’.
Due to the limited curren t drive cap abilit y, a buffer must
be used on the voltage reference output for external
connections to CVREF. Figure 21-2 shows an example
buffering technique.
21.1.6 OPE RATI ON DURING SLEEP
When the device wakes up from Sleep through an
interrupt o r a W a tchdo g T imer tim e-out, th e conte nts of
the CVRCON register are not affected. To minimize
current consumption in Sleep mode, the voltage
reference should be disabled.

21.2 FVR Reference Module
The FVR reference is a stable fixed voltage reference,
independent of VDD, with a nominal output voltage of
1.2V. This reference can be enabled by setting the
FVREN bit of the CVRCON2 register to ‘1’. The FVR
defaults to on whe n any one or mor e of the HF INTOSC,
HLV D, o r BOR f unc tio ns are en abl ed. T he F VR vo l t ag e
referenc e can be routed to the com pa rators or an ADC
input channel.
21.2.1 F VR STABILIZ ATIO N PERI OD
When the Fixed Voltage Reference module is enabled, it
will r equire some time for the r eferenc e and its amp lifier
circuits to stabilize. The user program must include a
small delay routine to allow the module to settle. The
FVRST stable bit of the CVRCON2 register also indicates
that the FV R ref eren c e has been op er ati ng lo ng en ough
to be stable. See Section 26.0 “Electrical
Characteristics” for the minimum delay requirement.

22.0 HIGH/LOW-VOLTAGE
DETECT (HLVD)
PIC18F2XK20/4XK20 devices hav e a High/Low-V olt age
Detect module (HLVD). This is a programmable circuit
that allows the user to specify both a device voltage trip
point and the direction of change from that point. If the
device experiences an excursion past the trip point in
that direction, an interrupt flag is set. If the interrupt is
enabled, the program execution will branch to the inter-
rupt vector address and the software can then respond
to the interrupt.
The High/Low-Voltage Detect Control register
(Register 22-1) complete ly controls the operation of the
HLVD module. This allows the circuitry to be “turned
off” by the user under software control, which
minimizes the current consumption for the device.
The block diagram for the HLVD module is shown in
Figure 22-1.
The module is enabled by setting the HLVDEN bit.
Each time that the HLVD module is enabled, the cir-
cuitry requires some time to stabilize. The IRVST bit is
a read-only bit and is used to indicate when the circuit
is stable. The module can only generate an interrupt
after the circuit is stable and IRVST is set.
The VDIRMAG bit determines the overall operation of
the module. When VDIRMAG is cleared, the module
monitors for drops in VDD below a predetermined set
point. Wh en the bit is set, the mo dule moni tors for rise s
in VDD above the set point.

22.1 Operation
When the HLVD module is enab led, a comp arator use s
an internally generated reference voltage as the set
point. The set point is compared with the trip point,
where each node in the resistor divider represents a
trip point voltage. The “trip point” voltage is the voltage
level at which the device detects a high or low-voltage
event, depending on the configuration of the module.
When the supply voltage is equal to the trip point, the
voltage tapped off of the resistor array is equal to the
internal reference voltage generated by the voltage
reference module. The comparator then generates an
interrupt signal by setting the HLVDIF bit.
The trip poi nt voltage is softw ar e prog ram ma ble to an y
one of 16 values. The trip point is selected by
programming the HLVDL<3:0> bits of the HLVDCON
register.
The HLVD mo dule has an add itional f eature that allo ws
the user to supply the trip voltage to the module from
an external source. This mode is enabled when bits
HLVDL<3:0> are set to ‘1111’. In this state, the
comparator input is multiplexed from the external input
pin, HLVDIN. This gives users flexibility because it
allows them to configure the High/Low-Voltage Detect
interrupt to occur at any voltage in the valid operating
range.

22.2 HLVD Setup
The following steps are needed to set up the HLVD
module:
1. Write the value to the HLVDL<3:0> bits that
selects the desired HLVD trip point.
2. Set the VDIRMAG bit to detect high voltage
(VDIRMAG = 1) or low voltage (VDIRMAG = 0).
3. Enable the HLVD module by setting the
HLVDEN bit.
4. Clear the HLVD interrupt flag bit of the PIR2
register, which may have been set from a
previous interrupt.
5. Enable the HLVD interrupt if interrupts are
desired by setting the HLVDIE bit of the PIE2
register, and the GIE and PEIE bits of the INT-
CON register. An interrupt will not be generated
until the IRVST bit is set.
22.3 Current Consumption
When the module is enabled, the HLVD comparator
and volt age divider are enabled and will consume stati c
current. The total current consumption, when enabled,
is specified in el ectrical specification p arameter D024B.
Depending on the application, the HLVD module does
not need to be operating constantly. To decrease the
current requirements, the HLVD circuitry may only
need to be en abled for short pe riod s where the volt age
is checked. After doing the check, the HLVD module
may be disabled.
22.4 HLVD Start-up Time
The internal reference voltage of the HLVD module,
specified in electrical specification parameter D420,
may be used by other internal circuitry, such as the
Programmable Brown-out Reset. If the HLVD or other
circuits using the voltage reference are disabled to
lower the device’s current consumption, the reference
volt age circui t will requ ire time to be come st able befo re
a low or high-voltage condition can be reliably
detected. This start-up time, TIRVST, is an interval that
is independent of device clock speed. It is specified in
electrical specification parameter 36.
The HLVD interrupt flag is not enabled until TIRVST has
expired and a stable reference voltage is reached. For
this reason, brief excursions beyond the set point may
not be detected during this interval. Refer to Figure 22-2
or Figu re 22-3.

22.5 Applications
In many a ppl ications , the abi lit y to dete ct a drop below,
or rise above, a particular threshold is desirable. For
example, the HLVD module could be periodically
enabled to de tec t U nivers al Seria l Bus (USB) attach or
det ach. This a ssumes the dev ice is powered by a lower
voltage source than the USB when detached. An attach
would indicate a h igh-volt a ge dete ct from, fo r exam ple,
3.3V to 5V (the voltage on USB) and vice versa for a
detach. This feature could save a design a few extra
components and an attach signal (input pin).
For general battery applications, Figure 22-4 shows a
possible voltage curve. Over time, the device voltage
decreases. When the device voltage reaches voltage
VA, the HLVD logic generates an interrupt at time TA.
The interrupt could cause the execution of an ISR,
which would allow the application to perform
“housekeeping tasks” and perform a controlled
shutdown before the device voltage exits the valid
operating range at TB. The HLVD, thus, would give the
application a time window, represented by the
diffe rence between TA and TB, to safely exit.

23.0 SPECIAL FEATURES OF
THE CPU
PIC18F2XK20/4XK20 devices include several features
intended to maximize reliability and minimize cost through
elimination of external components. These are:
Oscillator Selection
Resets:
- Power-on Reset (POR)
- Power-up Timer (PWRT)
- Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST)
- Brown-out Reset (BOR)
Interrupts
Watchdog Timer (WDT)
Code Protection
ID Locations
In-Circuit Serial Programming™
The oscillator can be configured for the application
dependi ng on frequ ency, power, accura cy and c ost. All
of the options are discussed in detail in Section 2.0
“Oscillator M odule (W ith Fai l-Safe Clock Monitor)” .
A complete discussion of device Resets and interrupts
is avail able in previous sections of this data sheet.
In addition to their Power-up and Oscillator Start-up
Timers provided for Resets, PIC18F2XK20/4XK20
devices have a Watchdog Timer, which is either
permanently enabled via the Configuration bits or
software co ntrolled (if configured a s disabl ed).
The inclu si on of an in tern al R C osc ill ato r also prov ide s
the additional benefits of a Fail-Safe Clock Monitor
(FSCM) and Two-Speed Start-up. FSCM provides for
background monitoring of the peripheral clock and
automatic switchover in the event of its failure. Two-
Speed Start-up enables code to be executed almost
immed iately on s tart-up, while t he primary c lock sourc e
completes its start-up delays.
All of these features are enabled and configured by
setting the appropriate Configuration register bits.

23.1 Configuration Bit s
The Configuration bits can be programmed (read as
0’) or l eft unprog ramme d (read as 1’) to selec t various
dev ice conf igurati ons. Th ese bits ar e mappe d starting
at program memory location 300000h.
The user will note that address 300000h is beyond the
user program memory space. In fact, it belongs to the
configuration memory space (300000h-3FFFFFh), which
can only be accessed using table reads and table writes.
Programming the Configuration registers is done in a
manner si milar to programmin g the Flash memory. The
WR bit in th e EECON 1 regis ter st art s a se lf-timed w rite
to the Configuration register . In normal operation mode,
a TBLWT instruction with the TBLPTR pointing to the
Config uration re gister se ts up the addre ss and the dat a
for the Configuration register write. Setting the WR bit
starts a long write to the Configuration register. The
Configuration registers are written a byte at a time. To
write or erase a configuration cell, a TBLWT instr ucti on
can writ e a ‘1’ or a ‘0’ into th e cell. For add itional det ails
on Flash programming, refer to Section 6.5 “Writing
to Flash Program Memory”.

23.2 Watchdog Timer (WDT)
For PIC18F2XK20/4XK20 devices, the WDT is driven
by the LFIN TOSC sour ce. W hen the W DT is enabl ed,
the clock source is also enabled. The nominal WDT
peri od is 4 m s and has t he sam e stabi lity as the LF IN-
TOSC oscillator.
The 4 ms period of the WDT is multiplied by a 16-bit
postscaler. Any output of the WDT postscaler is
selected by a multiplexer , controlled by bits in Configu-
ration Register 2H. Available periods range from 4 ms
to 131.072 seconds (2.18 minutes). The WDT and
post scaler are cleare d when any of the following events
occur: a SLEEP or CLRWDT instruction is executed, the
IRCF bits of the OSCCON register are changed or a
clock failure has occurr ed.
FIGURE 23-1: WDT BLOCK DIAGRAM
Note 1: The CLRWDT and SLEEP instructions
clear the WDT and postscaler counts
when execute d.
2: Changing the setting of the IRCF bits of
the OSCCON register clears the WDT
and postscaler counts.
3: When a CLRWDT instruction is executed,
the postscaler count will be cleared.

23.3 Program Verification and
Code Protection
The overall structure of the code protection on the
PIC18 Flash devices differs significantly from other
PIC® microcontroller device s.
The user program memory is divided into three or five
blocks, depending on the device. One of these is a
Boot Block of 0.5K or 2K bytes, depending on the
device. The remainder of the memory is divided into
individual blocks on binary boundaries.
Each of t he b locks h as three c ode p rotecti on bit s a sso-
ciated with them. They are:
Code-Protect bit (CPn)
Write-Protect bit (WRTn)
External Block Table Read bit (EBTRn)
Figure 23-2 shows the program memory organization
for 8, 16 and 32-Kbyte devices and the specific code
protection bit associated with each block. The actual
locations of the bits are summarized in Table 23-3.

23.3.1 PROGRAM MEMORY
CODE PROTECTION
The program memory may be read to or written from
any location using the table read and table write
instructions. The device ID may be read with table
reads. The Configuration registers may be read and
written with the table read and table write instructions.
In normal execution mode, the CPn bits have no direct
ef fect. CPn bits inhi bit external reads and writes. A block
of user memory may be protected fro m table writes if the
WRTn Configuration bit is ‘0’. The EBTRn bits control
table reads. Fo r a block of u ser memory with the EBTRn
bit cleared to ‘0’, a table READ instruction that executes
from within that block is allowed to read. A table read
instruction that executes from a location outside of that
block is not allowed to read and will res ult in reading ‘0’s.
Figures 23-3 through 23-5 illustrate tab le write and t able
read protection.
FIGURE 23-3: TABLE WRITE (WRTn) DISALLOWED
Note: Code protection bits may only be written to
a ‘0’ from a ‘1’ state. It is not possible to
write a ‘1 to a bit in the ‘0’ st ate. Code pro-
tection bits are only set to ‘1’ by a full chip
erase or block erase f unction. The full c hip
erase and block erase functions can only
be initiated via ICSP or an external
programmer.

23.3.2 DATA EEPROM
CODE PROTECTION
The entire data EEPROM is protected from external
reads and writes by two bits: CPD and WRTD. CPD
inhibits external reads and writes of data EEPROM.
WRTD inhibits internal and external writes to data
EEPROM. The CPU can always read data EEPROM
under n ormal op eration, re gardless o f the prot ection bit
settings.
23.3.3 CONFIGURATION REGISTER
PROTECTION
The Configuration registers can be write-protected.
The WRTC bit controls protection of the Configuration
registers. In normal execution mode, the WRTC bit is
readable only. WRTC can only be written via ICSP or
an external programmer.
23.4 ID Locations
Eight memory locations (200000h-200007h) are
designated as ID locations, where the user can store
checksum or other code identification numbers. These
locatio ns are b oth read abl e and writ ab le d urin g normal
execution through the TBLRD and TBLWT instructions
or du r ing p r ogr am / ver if y. Th e ID loca t io n s c a n be r e ad
when the device is code-protected.
23.5 In-Circuit Serial Programming
PIC18F2XK20/4XK20 devices can be serially
progra mmed w hile in t he en d app licati on c ircuit. This is
simply done with tw o lines for cl ock and dat a and thre e
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
firmware to be programmed.
23.6 In-Circui t Debugger
When the DEBUG Configuration bit is programmed to
a ‘0’, the In-Circuit Debugger functionality is enabled.
This funct ion al lows s imple debug ging f unct ions wh en
use d wi t h M PLA B® IDE. When the microcontroller has
this featu r e ena ble d, so me reso urc es are not availabl e
for gene ral use. Table 23-4 shows whi ch resou rce s are
required by the background debugger.
TABLE 23-4: DEBUGGER RESOURCES
To use the In-Circuit Debugger function of the micro-
controller, the design must implement In-Circuit Serial
Programming connections to the following pins:
•MCLR
/VPP/RE3
•V
DD
•VSS
•RB7
•RB6
This will interface to the In-Circuit Debugger module
availa ble from M icrochip or one of the third p arty deve l-
opment tool compan ies .
23.7 Single-Supply ICSP Programming
The LVP Configuration bit enables Single-Supply ICSP
Programming (formerly known as Low-Voltage ICSP
Programming or LVP). When Single-Supply Program-
ming is enabled, the microcontroller can be programmed
without requiring high voltage being applied to the
MCLR/VPP/RE3 pin, but the RB5/KBI1/PGM pin is then
dedicated to controlling Program mode entry and is not
available as a general purpos e I/O pin.
While programming, using Single-Supply Programming
mode, VDD is applied to the MCLR/VPP/RE3 pin as in
normal execution mode. To enter Programming mode,
VDD is applied to the PGM pin.
If Single-Supply ICSP Programming mode will not be
used, the LVP bit can be cleared. R B5 /KBI1/PGM then
become s a vaila ble as the dig ita l I/O p in, RB 5. The LVP
bit may be set or cleared only when using standard
high-voltage programming (VIHH applied to the MCLR/
VPP/RE3 pin). Once LVP has been disabled, only the
standard high-voltage programming is available and
must be used to program the device.
Memory tha t is not code -protected ca n be erased usin g
either a b lock erase, or erased ro w by row, then writte n
at any s pecified VDD. If co de-protected m emory is to be
erased, a block erase is required.
I/O pins: RB6 , RB7
Stack: 2 levels
Program Memory: 512 bytes
Data Memory: 10 bytes
Note 1: High-voltage programming is always
available, regardless of the state of the
LVP bit or the PGM pin, by applying VIHH
to the MCLR pin.
2: By default, Single-Supply ICSP is
enabled in unprogrammed devices (as
supplied from Microchip) and erased
devices.
3: When Single-Supply Programming is
enabled, the RB5 pin can no longer be
used as a general purpose I/O pin.
4: When LVP is enabled, externally pull the
PGM pin to VSS to allow normal program
execution.

PIC18F2XK20/4XK20
24.0 INSTRUCTION SET SUMMARY
PIC18F2XK20/4XK20 devices incorporate the standard
set of 75 PIC18 core instructions, as well as an ex tended
set of 8 new instructions, for the optimization of code that
is recursive or that utilizes a software stack. The
extended set is discu ssed la te r in this sec tion.
24.1 Standard Instruction Set
The standard PIC18 instruction set adds many
enhancements to the previous PIC® MCU instruction
sets, while maintaining an easy migration from these
PIC® MCU instru cti on set s. Most ins tructi ons are a si n-
gle program memory word (16 bits), but there are four
instructions that require two program memory loca-
tions.
Each single-word instruction is a 16-bit word divided
into an o pcode, whi ch specifies the instructi on type and
one or more operands, which further specify the
operation of the instruction.
The instruction set is highly orthogonal and is grouped
into four basic categories:
Byte-oriented operations
Bit-oriented operations
Literal operati ons
Control operations
The PIC18 instruction set summary in Table 24-2 lists
byte-oriented, bit-oriented, literal and control
operations. Table 24-1 shows the opcode field
descriptions.
Most byte-oriented in str uct ions have t hree op erands:
1. The file register (specified by ‘f’)
2. The destination of the result (specified by ‘d’)
3. The accessed memory (specified by ‘a ’)
The file register designator ‘f’ specifies which file
register is to be use d by the instruc tion. The des tination
designator ‘d’ specifies where the result of the opera-
tion is to be placed. If ‘d’ is zero, the result is placed in
the WREG register. If ‘d’ is one, the result is placed in
the file register specified in the instruction.
All bit-oriented instructions have three operands:
1. The file register (specified by ‘f’)
2. The bit in the file register (specified by ‘b’)
3. The accessed memory (specified by ‘a ’)
The bit field design ator ‘b’ sele cts the numb er of the bit
affected by the operation, while the file register
design ator ‘f’ represent s the numbe r of the fil e in w hich
the bit is located.
The literal ins truc tions may use so me of the follo wing
operands:
A literal value to be loaded into a file register
(specified by ‘k’)
The desired FSR register to load the literal value
into (specified by ‘f’)
No operand requir ed
(specified by ‘—’)
The control instructio ns may u se some of t he followin g
operands:
A program memory address (specified by ‘n’)
The mode of the CALL or RETURN instructions
(specified by ‘s’)
The mode of the table read and table write
ins tructions (specified by ‘m’)
No operand requir ed
(specified by ‘—’)
All instructions are a single word, except for four
double-word instructions. These instructions were
made double-word to contain the required information
in 32 bits. In the second word, the 4 MSbs are 1’s. If
this second word is executed as an instruction (by
it se lf), it will exe cu te as a NOP.
All single-word instructions are executed in a single
inst ruct ion c yc le , un le ss a conditional test is tru e o r th e
program counter is changed as a result of the instruc-
tion. In th ese cases, the execution takes tw o instruction
cycle s, with the addit ional instru ction cyc le(s) exec uted
as a NOP.
The double-word instructions execute in two instruction
cycles.
One in struction cycle consist s of f our oscil lator p eriods.
Thus, for an oscillator frequency of 4 MHz, the normal
inst ruction ex ecution ti me is 1 s. If a cond itional tes t is
true, or the program counter is changed as a result of
an instruction, the instruction execution time is 2 s.
Two-word branch instructions (if true) would take 3 s.
Figur e 24-1 show s the gener al format s that the ins truc-
tion s can hav e. All exampl es use the conv ention ‘nnh’
to represent a hexadecimal number.
The Instruction Set Summary, shown in Table 24-2,
lists the standard instructions recognized by the
Microchip Assembler (MPASMTM).
Section 24.1.1 “Standard Instruction Set” provides
a description of each instruction.

Note 1: When a PORT register is modified as a function of itself (e.g., MOVF PORTB, 1, 0), the value used will be that value
present on the pins themselves. For example, if the data latch is ‘1’ for a pin configured as input and is driven low by an
external device, the data will be written back with a ‘0’.
2: If this instruction is executed on the TMR0 register (and where applicable, ‘d’ = 1), the prescaler will be cleared if
assigned.
3: If Program Counter (PC) is modified or a conditional test is true, the instruction requires two cycles. The second cycle is
executed as a NOP.
4: Some instructions are two-word instructions. The second word of these instructions will be executed as a NOP unless the
first word of the instruction retrieves the information embedded in these 16 bits. This ensures that all program memory
locations have a valid instruction.

24.2 Extended Instruct ion Set
In additi on to the stan dard 75 i nstructions o f the PI C1 8
instruction set, PIC18F2XK20/4XK20 devices also
provide an optional extension to the core CPU
functionality. The added features include eight
additional instructions that augment indirect and
indexe d addressing o perations and th e implement ation
of Indexed Literal Offset Addressing mode for many of
the standard PIC18 instructions.
The additional features of the extended instruction set
are d isabled by defa ult. To enable them, u sers must s et
the XINST Configuration bit.
The instructions in the extended set can all be
class ified as literal operation s, which eith er manip ulate
the File Select Registers, or use them for indexed
addressing. Two of the instructions, ADDFSR and
SUBFSR, each have an additional special instantiation
for using FSR2. These versions (ADDULNK and
SUBULNK) allow for automatic return after execution.
The exte nded instr uctions are s pecifically im plemented
to optimize re-entrant program code (that is, code that
is recursive or that uses a software stack) written in
high-level languages, particularly C. Among other
things, they allow users working in high-level
languages to perform certain operations on data
structures more efficiently. These include:
dynamic allocation and deallocation of software
stack space when entering and leaving
subroutines
function poi nter invoca tion
software Stack Pointer manipulation
manipulation of variables located in a software
stack
A summary of the instructions in the extended instruc-
tion set is provide d in Table 24-3. Deta ile d descr iption s
are pro vided in Section 24.2.2 “Extended Instruction
Set”. The op code fiel d descript ions in Table 24-1 ap ply
to both the standard and extended PIC18 instruction
sets.
24.2.1 EXT EN DED INSTRU CTION SYNTAX
Most of the extended instructions use indexed
arguments, using one of the File Select Registers and
some offset to specify a source or destination register.
When an argument for an instruction serves as part of
indexed addressing, it is enclosed in square brackets
(“[ ]”). This is done to in dicate that the argument is used
as an index or of f set . MPASM™ Assembler wil l flag an
error if it de termines that an inde x or offset va lu e is not
bracketed.
When the ex tended ins truction s et is enabled, bra cket s
are also used to indicate index arguments in byte-
oriented and bit-orient ed instructions. This is in addition
to other changes in their syntax. For more details, see
Section 24.2.3.1 “Extended Instruction Syntax with
Standard PIC18 Commands”.
TABLE 24-3: EXTENSIONS TO THE PIC18 INSTRUCTION SET
Note: The instruction set extension and the
Indexed Literal Offset Addressing mode
were designed for optimizing applications
written in C; the user may likely never use
these instructions directly in assembler.
The syntax for these commands is pro-
vided as a reference for u sers who may b e
reviewing code that has been generated
by a compiler.
Note: In the past, square brackets have been
used to denote optional arguments in the
PIC18 and earlier instruction sets. In this
text and going forward, optional
arguments are denoted by braces (“{ }”).

24.2.3 BYT E-O RIE NTED AND
BIT-ORIENTED INSTRUCTIONS IN
INDEXED LITERAL OFFSET MODE
In additio n to eight new comm ands in the extende d set,
enabling the extended instruction set also enables
Indexed Literal Offset Addre ssing mode (Section 5.5.1
“Indexed Addressing with Literal Offset”). This has
a sign ificant im pact on the way t hat many com mands of
the standard PIC18 instruction set are interpreted.
When the extended set is disabled, addresses
embedded in opcodes are treated as literal memory
locatio ns : ei the r as a lo ca tio n in the Acc es s Ba nk (‘a’ =
0), or in a GPR bank designated by the BSR (‘a’ = 1).
When the extended instruction set is enabled and ‘a’ =
0, however, a file register argument of 5Fh or less is
interpreted as an offset from the pointer value in FSR 2
and not as a literal address. For practical purposes, this
means that all i nstructio ns that us e the Acc ess RAM b it
as an argument – that is, all byte-oriented and bit-
oriented instructions, or almost half of the core PIC18
instructions – may behave differently when the
extended instruction set is enabled.
When the content of FSR2 is 00h, the boundaries of the
Access RAM are essentially remapped to their original
values. This may be useful in creating backward
compatible code. If this technique is used, it may be
necessary to save the value of FSR2 and restore it
when moving back and forth between C and assembly
routines in order to preserve the Stack Pointer. Users
must also keep in mind the syntax requirements of the
extended instruction set (see Section 24.2.3.1
“Extended Instruction Syntax with Standard PIC18
Commands”).
Although the Indexed Literal Offset Addressing mode
can be very useful for dynamic stack and pointer
manipulation, it can also be very annoying if a simple
arithmetic operation is carried out on the wrong
register. Users who are accustomed to the PIC18
programming must keep in mind that, when the
extende d inst ruction se t is ena bled, re giste r addres ses
of 5Fh or less are used for Indexed Literal Offset
Addressing.
Representative examples of typical byte-oriented and
bit-oriented instructions in the Indexed Literal Offset
Address ing mode are pro vided on the f ollowing p age to
show how execution is affected. The operand condi-
tions shown in the examples are applicable to all
instructions of these types.
24.2.3.1 Extended Instruction Syntax with
Standard PIC18 Commands
When the extended instruction set is enabled, the file
register arg ument, ‘f’, in the sta ndard byte-oriented an d
bit-or iented command s is replaced with the li teral offs et
value, ‘k ’. As al rea dy no ted, this occurs only wh en ‘f’ is
less t han or eq ual to 5Fh. When an of fset val ue is use d,
it must be indicated by square brackets (“[ ]”). As with
the exte nded ins tructions , the us e of brac kets indicate s
to the com pil er th at the val ue is to be in terp rete d as an
index or an offset. Omitting the brackets, or using a
value greater than 5Fh within brackets, will generate an
error in the MPASM Assembler.
If the ind ex argume nt is p roperly brackete d for Indexe d
Literal O ffset Addre ssing, the Acc ess RAM argument i s
never specified; it will automatically be assumed to be
0’. This is in contrast to standard operation (extended
instruction set disabled) when ‘a’ is set on the basis of
the target address. Declaring the Access RAM bit in
this mode will also generate an error in the MPASM
Assembler.
The destination argument, ‘d’, functions as before.
In the latest versions of the MPASM™ assembler,
languag e s upp ort for the exte nde d i ns truc tio n s et m ust
be explicitly invoked. This is done with either the
command line option, /y, or the PE directive in the
source lis tin g.
24.2.4 CONSIDERATIONS WHEN
ENABLING THE EXTENDED
INSTRUCTION SET
It is i mport ant to note that the ex tensions to th e ins truc-
tion set may not be beneficial to all users. In particular,
users who are not writing code that uses a software
stack may not benefit from using the extensions to the
instruction set.
Additionally, the Indexed Literal Offset Addressing
mode may create issues with legacy applications
written to the PIC18 assembler. This is because
instruc t ion s i n th e le gac y cod e m ay atte mp t to a ddress
registers in the Access Bank below 5Fh. Since these
addresses are interpreted as literal offsets to FSR2
when the instruction set extension is enabled, the
application may read or write to the wrong data
addresses.
When porting an application to the PIC18F2XK20/
4XK20, i t is very im portant to co nsider the type of code.
A large, re-entrant application that is written in ‘C’ and
would benefit from efficient compilation will do well
when using the instruction set extensions. Legacy
applic ations tha t heavily use the Ac cess Ban k will mos t
likely not benefit from using the extended instruction
set.
Note: Enabling the PIC18 instruction set
extension may cause legacy applications
to behave erratically or fail entirely.

the Index ed Address ing mode i n their lang uage tool(s).
Depending on the enviro nment being used, this may be
done in several ways:
A menu option, or dialog box within the
environment, that allows the user to configure the
language tool and its settings for the project
A command line option
A directive in the source code
These options vary between different compilers,
assemblers and development environments. Users are
encouraged to re view the documentation acc ompanying
their development systems for the appropriate
information.

2: Voltage spikes below VSS at the MCLR/VPP/RE3 pin, inducing currents greater than 80 mA, may cause
latch-up. Thus, a series resistor of 50-100 should be used when applying a “low” level to the
MCLR/VPP/RE3 pin, rather than pulling this pin directly to VSS.
NOTICE: Stresses above those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage 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.

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 dat a 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.
