PIC18F97J94 FAMILY
1.0 DEVICE OVERVIEW
This document contains device-specific information for
the following devices:
This family introduces a new line of low-voltage LCD
microcontrollers with Universal Serial Bus (USB). It
combines all the main traditional advantage of all
PIC18 microcontrollers, namely, high computational
performance and a rich feature set at an extremely
competitive price point. These features make the
PIC18F9XJ94 family a logical choice for many high-
performance applications, where cost is a primary
consideration.
1.1 Core Features
1.1.1 TECHNOLOGY
All of the devices in the PIC18F9XJ94 family incorporate
a range of features that can significantly reduce power
consumption during operation. Key items include:
Alternate Run Modes: By clocking the controller
from the Timer1 source or the Internal RC oscilla-
tor, power consumption during code execution
can be reduced.
Multiple Idle Modes: The controller can also run
with its CPU core disabled but the peripherals still
active. In these states, power consumption can be
reduced even further.
On-the-Fly Mode Switching: The power-managed
modes are invoked by user code during operation,
allowing the user to incorporate power-saving ideas
into their application’s software design.
XLP: An extra low-power Sleep, BOR, RTCC and
Watchdog Timer.
1.1.2 OSCILLATOR OPTIONS AND
FEATURES
All of the devices in the PIC18F9XJ94 family offer differ-
ent oscillator options, allowing users a range of choices
in developing application hardware. These include:
Two Crystal modes (HS, MS)
One External Clock mode (EC)
A Phase Lock Loop (PLL) frequency multiplier,
which allows clock speeds of up to 64 MHz.
A fast Internal Oscillator (FRC) block that provides
an 8 MHz clock (±0.15% accuracy) with Active
Clock Tuning (ACT) from USB or SOSC source.
- Offers multiple divider options from 8 MHz to
500 kHz
- Frees the two oscillator pins for use as
additional general purpose I/O
A separate Low-Power Internal RC Oscillator
(LPRC) (31 kHz nominal) for low-power, timing-
insensitive applications.
The internal oscillator block provides a stable reference
source that gives the family additional features for
robust operation:
Fail-Safe Clock Monitor (FSCM): This option
constantly monitors the main clock source against a
reference signal provided by the internal oscillator.
If a clock failure occurs, the controller is switched to
the internal oscillator, allowing for continued low-
speed operation or a safe application shutdown.
Two-Speed Start-up (IESO): 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.

DS30000575C-page 16 2012-2016 Microchip Technology Inc.
1.1.3 MEMORY OPTIONS
The PIC18F9XJ94 family provides ample room for
application code, from 32 Kbytes to 128 Kbytes of code
space. The Flash cells for program memory are rated
to last up to 20,000 erase/write cycles. Data retention
without refresh is conservatively estimated to be
greater than 10 years.
The Flash program memory is readable and writable.
During normal operation, the PIC18F9XJ94 family also
provides plenty of room for dynamic application data
with up to 3,578 bytes of data RAM.
1.1.4 UNIVERSAL SERIAL BUS (USB)
Devices in the PIC18F9XJ94 family incorporate a fully-
featured USB communications module with a built-in
transceiver that is compliant with the USB Specification
Revision 2.0. The module supports both low-speed and
full-speed communication for all supported data trans-
fer types.
1.1.5 EXTERNAL MEMORY BUS
Should 128 Kbytes of memory be inadequate for an
application, the 80-pin and 100-pin members of the
PIC18F9XJ94 family have an External Memory Bus
(EMB), enabling the controllers internal Program
Counter to address a memory space of up to 2 Mbytes.
This is a level of data access that few 8-bit devices can
claim and enables:
Using combinations of on-chip and external
memory of up to 2 Mbytes
Using external Flash memory for reprogrammable
application code or large data tables
Using external RAM devices for storing large
amounts of variable data
1.1.6 EXTENDED INSTRUCTION SET
The PIC18F9XJ94 family implements the optional
extension to the PIC18 instruction set, adding eight
new instructions and an Indexed Addressing mode.
Enabled as a device configuration option, the extension
has been specifically designed to optimize re-entrant
application code originally developed in high-level
languages, such as ‘C’.
1.1.7 EASY MIGRATION
All devices share the same rich set of peripherals. This
provides a smooth migration path within the device
family as applications evolve and grow.
The consistent pinout scheme, used throughout the
entire family, also aids in migrating to the next larger
device. This is true when moving between the 64-pin
members, between the 80-pin members, between the
100-pin members or even jumping from 64-pin to 80-
pin to 100-pin devices.
The PIC18F9XJ94 family is also largely pin compatible
with other PIC18 families, such as the PIC18F87J90,
PIC18F87J11 and the PIC18F87J50. This allows a new
dimension to the evolution of applications, allowing
developers to select different price points within
Microchip’s PIC18 portfolio, while maintaining a similar
feature set.
1.2 LCD Controller
The on-chip LCD driver includes many features that
make the integration of displays in low-power applica-
tions easier. These include an integrated voltage regu-
lator with charge pump and an integrated internal
resistor ladder that allows contrast control in software
and display operation above device VDD.

PIC18F97J94 FAMILY
1.3 Other Special Features
Communications: The PIC18F9XJ94 family
incorporates a range of serial communication
peripherals, including USB, four Enhanced
Addressable USARTs with IrDA, and two Master
Synchronous Serial Port MSSP modules capable
of both SPI and I2C (Master and Slave) modes of
operation.
CCP Modules: PIC18F9XJ94 family devices
incorporate up to seven Capture/Compare/PWM
(CCP) modules. Up to six different time bases can
be used to perform several different operations at
once.
ECCP Modules: The PIC18F9XJ94 family has
three Enhanced CCP (ECCP) modules to
maximize flexibility in control applications:
- Up to eight different time bases for
performing several different operations at
once
- Up to four PWM outputs for each module –
for a total of 12 PWMs
- Other beneficial features, such as polarity
selection, programmable dead time, auto-
shutdown and restart, and Half-Bridge and
Full-Bridge Output modes
12-Bit A/D Converter: The PIC18F9XJ94 family
has a software selectable, 10/12-bit
Analog-to-Digital (A/D) Converter. It incorporates
programmable acquisition time, allowing for a
channel to be selected and a conversion to be
initiated without waiting for a sampling period, and
thus, reducing code overhead.
Charge Time Measurement Unit (CTMU): The
CTMU is a flexible analog module that provides
accurate differential time measurement between
pulse sources, as well as asynchronous pulse
generation.
Together with other on-chip analog modules, the
CTMU can precisely measure time, measure
capacitance or relative changes in capacitance, or
generate output pulses that are independent of
the system clock.
LP Watchdog Timer (WDT): This enhanced
version incorporates a 22-bit prescaler, allowing
an extended time-out range that is stable across
operating voltage and temperature. See
Section 30.0 “Electrical Specifications” for
time-out periods.
Real-Time Clock and Calendar Module
(RTCC): The RTCC module is intended for appli-
cations requiring that accurate time be maintained
for extended periods of time, with minimum to no
intervention from the CPU.
The module is a 100-year clock and calendar with
automatic leap year detection. The range of the
clock is from 00:00:00 (midnight) on January 1,
2000 to 23:59:59 on December 31, 2099.

2.0 GUIDELINES FOR GETTING
STARTED WITH PIC18FJ
MICROCONTROLLERS
2.1 Basic Connection Requirements
Getting started with the PIC18FXXJ94 of 8-bit
microcontrollers requires attention to a minimal set of
device pin connection before proceeding with
development.
The following pins must always be connected:
•All V
DD and VSS pins
(see Section 2.2 “Power Supply Pins)
•All AV
DD and AVSS pins, regardless of whether or
not the analog device features are used
(see Section 2.2 “Power Supply Pins)
•MCLR
pin
(see Section 2.3 “Master Clear (MCLR) Pin”)
These pins must also be connected if they are being
used in the end application:
PGC/PGD pins used for In-Circuit Serial
Programming™ (ICSP™) and debugging purposes
(see Section 2.5 “ICSP Pins”)
OSC1 and OSC2 pins when an external oscillator
source is used
(see Section 2.6 “External Oscillator Pins”)
Additionally, the following pins may be required:
•V
REF+/VREF- pins are used when external voltage
reference for analog modules is implemented
The minimum mandatory connections are shown in
Figure 2-1.
FIGURE 2-1: RECOMMENDED
MINIMUM CONNECTIONS
Note: The AVDD and AVSS pins must always be
connected, regardless of whether any of
the analog modules are being used.

(VCAP/VDDCORE)” for explanation of VCAP/
VDDCORE connections.
2: The example shown is for a PIC18F device
with five VDD/VSS and AVDD/AVSS pairs.
Other devices may have more or less pairs;
adjust the number of decoupling capacitors
appropriately.

2.2 Power Supply Pins
2.2.1 DECOUPLING CAPACITORS
The use of decoupling capacitors on every pair of
power supply pins, such as VDD, VSS, AVDD and
AVSS, is required.
Consider the following criteria when using decoupling
capacitors:
Value and type of capacitor: A 0.1 F (100 nF),
10-20V capacitor is recommended. The capacitor
should be a low-ESR device, with a resonance
frequency in the range of 200 MHz and higher.
Ceramic capacitors are recommended.
Placement on the printed circuit board: The
decoupling capacitors should be placed as close
to the pins as possible. It is recommended to
place the capacitors on the same side of the
board as the device. If space is constricted, the
capacitor can be placed on another layer on the
PCB using a via; however, ensure that the trace
length from the pin to the capacitor is no greater
than 0.25 inch (6 mm).
Handling high-frequency noise: If the board is
experiencing high-frequency noise (upward of
tens of MHz), add a second ceramic type capaci-
tor in parallel to the above described decoupling
capacitor. The value of the second capacitor can
be in the range of 0.01 F to 0.001 F. Place this
second capacitor next to each primary decoupling
capacitor. In high-speed circuit designs, consider
implementing a decade pair of capacitances as
close to the power and ground pins as possible
(e.g., 0.1 F in parallel with 0.001 F).
Maximizing performance: On the board layout
from the power supply circuit, run the power and
return traces to the decoupling capacitors first,
and then to the device pins. This ensures that the
decoupling capacitors are first in the power chain.
Equally important is to keep the trace length
between the capacitor and the power pins to a
minimum, thereby reducing PCB trace
inductance.
2.2.2 TANK CAPACITORS
On boards with power traces running longer than
six inches in length, it is suggested to use a tank capac-
itor for integrated circuits, including microcontrollers, to
supply a local power source. The value of the tank
capacitor should be determined based on the trace
resistance that connects the power supply source to
the device, and the maximum current drawn by the
device in the application. In other words, select the tank
capacitor so that it meets the acceptable voltage sag at
the device. Typical values range from 4.7 F to 47 F.
2.3 Master Clear (MCLR) Pin
The MCLR pin provides two specific device
functions: Device Reset, and Device Programming
and Debugging. If programming and debugging are
not required in the end application, a direct
connection to VDD may be all that is required. The
addition of other components, to help increase the
application’s resistance to spurious Resets from
voltage sags, may be beneficial. A typical
configuration is shown in Figure 2-1. Other circuit
designs may be implemented, depending on the
application’s requirements.
During programming and debugging, the resistance
and capacitance that can be added to the pin must
be considered. Device programmers and debuggers
drive the MCLR pin. Consequently, specific voltage
levels (VIH and VIL) and fast signal transitions must
not be adversely affected. Therefore, specific values
of R1 and C1 will need to be adjusted based on the
application and PCB requirements. For example, it is
recommended that the capacitor, C1, be isolated
from the MCLR pin during programming and
debugging operations by using a jumper (Figure 2-2).
The jumper is replaced for normal run-time
operations.
Any components associated with the MCLR pin
should be placed within 0.25 inch (6 mm) of the pin.
FIGURE 2-2: EXAMPLE OF MCLR PIN

Note 1: R1  10 k is recommended. A suggested
starting value is 10 k. Ensure that the
MCLR pin VIH and VIL specifications are met.
2: R2  470 will limit any current flowing into
MCLR from the external capacitor, C, in the
event of MCLR pin breakdown, due to
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) or Electrical
Overstress (EOS). Ensure that the MCLR pin

2.4 Core Voltage Regulator (VCAP/
VDDCORE)
A low-ESR (< 5) capacitor is required on the VCAP pin
to stabilize the output voltage of the on-chip voltage
regulator. The VCAP pin must not be connected to VDD
and must use a capacitor of 10 μF connected to
ground. The type can be ceramic or tantalum. Suitable
examples of capacitors are shown in Table 2-1.
Capacitors with equivalent specification can be used.
Designers may use Figure 2-3 to evaluate ESR
equivalence of candidate devices.
It is recommended that the trace length not exceed
0.25 inch (6 mm). Refer to Section 30.0 “Electrical
Specifications for additional information.

2.4.1 CONSIDERATIONS FOR CERAMIC
CAPACITORS
In recent years, large value, low-voltage, surface-mount
ceramic capacitors have become very cost effective in
sizes up to a few tens of microfarad. The low-ESR, small
physical size and other properties make ceramic
capacitors very attractive in many types of applications.
Ceramic capacitors are suitable for use with the
VDDCORE voltage regulator of this microcontroller.
However, some care is needed in selecting the capac-
itor to ensure that it maintains sufficient capacitance
over the intended operating range of the application.
Typical low-cost, 10 µF ceramic capacitors are available
in X5R, X7R and Y5V dielectric ratings (other types are
also available, but are less common). The initial toler-
ance specifications for these types of capacitors are
often specified as ±10% to ±20% (X5R and X7R), or -
20%/+80% (Y5V). However, the effective capacitance
that these capacitors provide in an application circuit will
also vary based on additional factors, such as the
applied DC bias voltage and the temperature. The total
in-circuit tolerance is, therefore, much wider than the
initial tolerance specification.
The X5R and X7R capacitors typically exhibit satisfac-
tory temperature stability (ex: ±15% over a wide
temperature range, but consult the manufacturer’s data
sheets for exact specifications). However, Y5V capaci-
tors typically have extreme temperature tolerance
specifications of +22%/-82%. Due to the extreme
temperature tolerance, a 10 µF nominal rated Y5V type
capacitor may not deliver enough total capacitance to
meet minimum VDDCORE voltage regulator stability and
transient response requirements. Therefore, Y5V
capacitors are not recommended for use with the
VDDCORE regulator if the application must operate over
a wide temperature range.
In addition to temperature tolerance, the effective
capacitance of large value ceramic capacitors can vary
substantially, based on the amount of DC voltage
applied to the capacitor. This effect can be very signifi-
cant, but is often overlooked or is not always
documented.
A typical DC bias voltage vs. capacitance graph for
X7R type and Y5V type capacitors is shown in
Figure 2-4.
FIGURE 2-4: DC BIAS VOLTAGE vs.
CAPACITANCE
CHARACTERISTICS
When selecting a ceramic capacitor to be used with the
VDDCORE voltage regulator, it is suggested to select a
high-voltage rating, so that the operating voltage is a
small percentage of the maximum rated capacitor volt-
age. For example, choose a ceramic capacitor rated at
16V for the 2.5V VDDCORE voltage. Suggested
capacitors are shown in Table 2-1.
2.5 ICSP Pins
The PGC and PGD pins are used for In-Circuit Serial
Programming™ (ICSP™) and debugging purposes. It
is recommended to keep the trace length between the
ICSP connector and the ICSP pins on the device as
short as possible. If the ICSP connector is expected to
experience an ESD event, a series resistor is recom-
mended, with the value in the range of a few tens of
ohms, not to exceed 100.
Pull-up resistors, series diodes, and capacitors on the
PGC and PGD pins are not recommended as they will
interfere with the programmer/debugger communica-
tions to the device. If such discrete components are an
application requirement, they should be removed from
the circuit during programming and debugging. Alter-
natively, refer to the AC/DC characteristics and timing
requirements information in the respective device
Flash programming specification for information on
capacitive loading limits, and pin input voltage high
(VIH) and input low (VIL) requirements.
For device emulation, ensure that the “Communication
Channel Select” (i.e., PGCx/PGDx pins), programmed
into the device, matches the physical connections for
the ICSP to the Microchip debugger/emulator tool.
For more information on available Microchip
development tools connection requirements, refer to
Section 31.0 “Development Support”.

2.6 External Oscillator Pins
Many microcontrollers have options for at least two
oscillators: a high-frequency primary oscillator and a
low-frequency secondary oscillator (refer to
Section 3.0 “Oscillator Configurations” for details).
The oscillator circuit should be placed on the same
side of the board as the device. Place the oscillator
circuit close to the respective oscillator pins with no
more than 0.5 inch (12 mm) between the circuit
components and the pins. The load capacitors should
be placed next to the oscillator itself, on the same side
of the board.
Use a grounded copper pour around the oscillator cir-
cuit to isolate it from surrounding circuits. The
grounded copper pour should be routed directly to the
MCU ground. Do not run any signal traces or power
traces inside the ground pour. Also, if using a two-sided
board, avoid any traces on the other side of the board
where the crystal is placed.
Layout suggestions are shown in Figure 2-5. In-line
packages may be handled with a single-sided layout
that completely encompasses the oscillator pins. With
fine-pitch packages, it is not always possible to com-
pletely surround the pins and components. A suitable
solution is to tie the broken guard sections to a mirrored
ground layer. In all cases, the guard trace(s) must be
returned to ground.
In planning the application’s routing and I/O assign-
ments, ensure that adjacent port pins, and other
signals in close proximity to the oscillator, are benign
(i.e., free of high frequencies, short rise and fall times,
and other similar noise).
For additional information and design guidance on
oscillator circuits, refer to these Microchip Application
Notes, available at the corporate website

2.7 Unused I/Os
Unused I/O pins should be configured as outputs and
driven to a logic low state. Alternatively, connect a 1 k
to 10 k resistor to VSS on unused pins and drive the
output to logic low.

3.1 CPU Clocking Scheme
The system clock source can be provided by one of
four sources:
Primary Oscillator (POSC) on the OSC1 and
OSC2 pins
Secondary Oscillator (SOSC) on the SOSCI and
SOSCO pins
Fast Internal RC (FRC) Oscillator
Low-Power Internal RC (LPRC) Oscillator
The Primary Oscillator and FRC sources have the option
of using the internal USB PLL block, which generates
both the USB module clock and a separate system clock
from the 96 MHz PLL. Refer to Section 3.8.1 “Oscilla-
tor Modes and USB Operation” for additional
information.
The internal FRC provides an 8 MHz clock source. It
can optionally be reduced by the programmable clock
divider to provide a range of system clock frequencies.
The selected clock source generates the processor
and peripheral clock sources. The processor clock
source is divided by four to produce the internal instruc-
tion cycle clock, FCY. In this document, the instruction
cycle clock is also denoted by FOSC/4. The internal
instruction cycle clock, FOSC/4, can be provided on the
OSC2 I/O pin for some operating modes of the Primary
Oscillator. The timing diagram in Figure 3-2 shows the
relationship between the processor clock source and
instruction execution.

3.2 Oscillator Configuration
The oscillator source (and operating mode) that is used
at a device Power-on Reset (POR) event is selected
using Configuration bit settings. The Oscillator Configu-
ration bit settings are in the Configuration registers
located in the program memory (refer to Section 28.1
“Configuration Bits” for more information). The
Primary Oscillator Configuration bits, POSCMD<1:0>
(CONFIG3L<1:0>), and Oscillator Configuration bits,
FOSC<2:0> (CONFIG2L<2:0>), select the oscillator
source that is used at a POR. The FRC Oscillator with
Postscaler (FRCDIV) is the default (unprogrammed)
selection. The Secondary Oscillator, or one of the inter-
nal oscillators, may be chosen by programming these bit
locations.
The Configuration bits allow users to choose between
11 different clock modes, as shown in Ta b l e 3 - 1 .

3.2.1 CLOCK SWITCHING MODE
CONFIGURATION BITS
The FSCMx Configuration bits (CONFIG3L<5:4>) are
used to jointly configure device clock switching and the
Fail-Safe Clock Monitor (FSCM). Clock switching is
enabled only when FSCM1 is programmed (‘0’). The
FSCM is enabled only when FSCM<1:0> are both
programmed (‘00’).
3.2.2 OSC1 AND OSC2 PIN FUNCTIONS
IN NON-CRYSTAL MODES
When the Primary Oscillator on OSC1 and OSC2 is not
configured as the clock source (POSCMD<1:0> = 11),
the OSC1 pin is automatically reconfigured as a
digital I/O. In this configuration, as well as when the
Primary Oscillator is configured for EC mode
(POSCMD<1:0> = 00), the OSC2 pin can also be
configured as a digital I/O by programming the
CLKOEN Configuration bit (CONFIG2L<5>).
When CLKOEN is unprogrammed (‘1’), a FOSC/4 clock
output is available on OSC2 for testing or synchroniza-
tion purposes. With CLKOEN programmed (‘0’), the
OSC2 pin becomes a general purpose I/O pin. In both
of these configurations, the feedback device between
OSC1 and OSC2 is turned off to save current.
3.3 Control Registers
The operation of the oscillator is controlled by six
Special Function Registers (SFRs):
OSCCON
OSCCON2
OSCCON3
OSCCON4
ACTCON
OSCTUNE
3.3.1 OSCILLATOR CONTROL REGISTER
(OSCCON)
The OSCCON register (Register 3-1) is the main con-
trol register for the oscillator. It controls clock source
switching and allows the monitoring of clock sources.
The COSCx (OSCCON<6:4>) Status bits are read-only
bits that indicate the current oscillator source the
device is operating from. The COSCx bits default to the
Internal Fast RC Oscillator with Postscaler (FRCDIV),
configured for 4 MHz, on a Power-on Reset (POR) and
Master Clear Reset (MCLR). A clock switch will
automatically be performed to the new oscillator source
selected by the FOSCx Configuration bits (CON-
FIG2L<2:0>). The COSCx bits will change to indicate
the new oscillator source at the end of a clock switch
operation.
The NOSCx Status bits select the clock source for the
next clock switch operation. On POR and MCLRs,
these bits automatically select the oscillator source
defined by the FOSCx Configuration bits. These bits
can be modified by software.
Setting the CLKLOCK bit (OSCCON2<7>) prevents
clock switching if the FSCM1 Configuration bit is set. If
the FSCM1 bit is clear, the CLKLOCK bit state is
ignored and clock switching can occur.
The IOLOCK bit (OSCCON2<6>) is used to unlock the
Peripheral Pin Select (PPS) feature; it has no function
in the system clock’s operation.
The LOCK Status bit (OSCCON2<5>) is read-only and
indicates the status of the PLL circuit. It is set when the
PLL achieves a frequency lock and is reset when a
valid clock switching sequence is initiated. It reads as
0’ whenever the PLL is not used as part of the current
clock source.
The CF Status bit (OSCCON2<3>) is a readable/clear-
able Status bit that indicates a clock failure; it is reset
whenever a valid clock switch occurs.
The POSCEN bit (OSCCON2<2>) is used to control
the operation of the Primary Oscillator in Sleep mode.
Setting this bit bypasses the normal automatic
shutdown of the oscillator whenever Sleep mode is
invoked.
The Secondary Oscillator can be turned on by a variety
of options:
SOSCGO – OSCCON2<1>
SOSCSEL – CONFIG2L<3>
FOSC<2:0> – CONFIG2L<2:0>
DSWDTOSC – CONFIG8H<1>
RTCEN – RTCCON1<7>
SOSCEN – T1CON<3>, T3CON<3> or
T5CON<3>
The ACTCON register (Register 3-10) controls the
Active Clock Tuning features.

3.4 Reference Clock Output Control
Module
The PIC18F97J94 family has two Reference Clock
Output (REFO) modules. Each of the Reference Clock
Output modules provides the user with the ability to
send out a programmed output clock onto the
REFO1or REFO2 pins.
3.4.1 REFERENCE CLOCK SOURCE
The module provides the ability to select one of the
following clock sources:
Primary Crystal Oscillator (POSC)
Secondary Crystal Oscillator (SOSC)
32.768 kHz Internal Oscillator (INTOSC)
Fast Internal Oscillator (FRC)
It includes a programmable clock divider with ratios
ranging from 1:1 to 1:65534.
When the clock source is a crystal or internal oscillator,
the RSLP bit can be set to continue REFO operation
while the device is in Sleep Mode.
3.4.2 CLOCK SYNCHRONIZATION
The Reference Clock Output is enabled only once
(ON = 1). Note that the source of the clock and the
divider values should be chosen prior to the bit being
set to avoid glitches on the REFO output.
Once the ON bit is set, its value is synchronized to the
Reference Clock Output domain to enable the output.
This ensures that no glitches will be seen on the output.
Similarly, when the ON bit is cleared, the output and the
associated output enable signals will be synchronized
and disabled on the falling edge of the Reference Clock
Output. Note that with large divider values, this will
cause the REFO to be enabled for some period after
ON is cleared.
3.4.3 OPERATION IN SLEEP MODE
If any clock source, other than the peripheral clock, is
used as a base reference (i.e., ROSEL<3:0> 0001),
the user has the option to configure the behavior of the
oscillator in Sleep mode. The RSLP Configuration bit
determines if the oscillator will continue to run in Sleep.
If RSLP = 0, the oscillator will be shut down in Sleep
(assuming no other consumers are requesting it). If
RSLP = 1, the oscillator will continue to run in Sleep.
The Reference Clock Output is synchronized with the
Sleep signal to avoid any glitches on its output.
3.4.3.1 Module Enable Signal
The REFOx module may be enabled or disabled using
the REFOxMD register bit, which holds the REFOx
module in Reset, or the ON register bit, which does not.
3.4.3.2 Registers and Bits
This module provides the following device registers
and/or bits:
REFOxCON – Reference Clock Output Control
Register
REFOxCON1 – Reference Clock Output Control 1
Register
REFOxCON2 – Reference Clock Output Control 2
Register
REFOxCON3 – Reference Clock Output Control 3
Register
In addition, the REFOxCON1 module needs to be
enabled by clearing the REFOxMD disable bit
(PMD3<1>).
3.4.3.3 Interrupts
This module does not generate any interrupts.
Note: Throughout this section, references to
register and bit names that may be associ-
ated with specific Reference Clock Output
modules are referred to generically by the
use of ‘x’ in place of the specific module
number. Thus, “REFOxCON” might refer to
the control register for either REFO1 or
REFO2.

3.5 Primary Oscillator (POSC)
The Primary Oscillator is available on the OSC1 and
OSC2 pins of the PIC18F family. In general, the Pri-
mary Oscillator can be configured for an external clock
input or an external crystal. Further details of the
Primary Oscillator operating modes are described in
subsequent sections. The Primary Oscillator has up to
6 operating modes, summarized in Ta b l e 3 - 2 .
TABLE 3-2: PRIMARY OSCILLATOR OPERATING MODES
The POSCMDx and FOSCx Configuration bits (CON-
FIG3L<1:0> and CONFIG2L<2:0>, respectively) select
the operating mode of the Primary Oscillator. The
POSCMD<1:0> bits select the particular submode to
be used (MS, HS or EC), while the FOSC<2:0> bits
determine if the oscillator will be used by itself or with
the internal PLL. The PIC18F operates from the
Primary Oscillator whenever the COSCx bits
(OSCCON<6:4>) are set to ‘010’ or ‘011’.
Refer to the “Electrical Characteristics” section in
the specific device data sheet for further information
regarding frequency range for each crystal mode.

3.5.1 SELECTING A PRIMARY
OSCILLATOR MODE
The main difference between the MS and HS modes is
the gain of the internal inverter of the oscillator circuit,
which allows the different frequency ranges. The MS
mode is a medium power, medium frequency mode.
HS mode provides the highest oscillator frequencies
with a crystal. OSC2 provides crystal feedback in both
HS and MS Oscillator modes.
The EC and HS modes that use the PLL circuit provide
the highest device operating frequencies. The oscilla-
tor circuit will consume the most current in these modes
because the PLL is enabled to multiply the frequency of
the oscillator.
In general, users should select the oscillator option with
the lowest possible gain that still meets their specifica-
tions. This will result in lower dynamic currents (IDD).
The frequency range of each oscillator mode is the
recommended frequency cutoff, but the selection of a
different gain mode is acceptable as long as a thorough
validation is performed (voltage, temperature and
component variations, such as resistor, capacitor and
internal oscillator circuitry).
The oscillator feedback circuit is disabled in all EC
modes. The OSC1 pin is a high-impedance input and
can be driven by a CMOS driver.
If the Primary Oscillator is configured for an external
clock input, the OSC2 pin is not required to support the
oscillator function. For these modes, the OSC2 pin can
be used as an additional device I/O pin or a clock out-
put pin. When the OSC2 pin is used as a clock output
pin, the output frequency is FOSC/4.
3.6 Crystal Oscillators and Ceramic
Resonators
In MS and HS modes, a crystal or ceramic resonator is
connected to the OSC1 and OSC2 pins to establish
oscillation (Figure 3-3). The PIC18F oscillator design
requires the use of a parallel cut crystal. Using a series
cut crystal may give a frequency out of the crystal
manufacturer’s specifications.
3.6.1 OSCILLATOR/RESONATOR START-
UP
As the device voltage increases from VSS, the oscillator
will start its oscillations. The time required for the oscil-
lator to start oscillating depends on many factors,
including:
Crystal/resonator frequency
Capacitor values used
Series resistor, if used, and its value and type
Device VDD rise time
System temperature
Oscillator mode selection of device (selects the
gain of the internal oscillator inverter)
Crystal quality
Oscillator circuit layout
System noise
The course of a typical crystal or resonator start-up is
shown in Figure 3-4. Notice that the time to achieve
stable oscillation is not instantaneous.

PIC18F97J94 FAMILY
3.6.2 PRIMARY OSCILLATOR START-UP
FROM SLEEP MODE
The most difficult time for the oscillator to start-up is
when waking up from Sleep mode. This is because the
load capacitors have both partially charged to some
quiescent value and phase differential at wake-up is
minimal. Thus, more time is required to achieve stable
oscillation. Also remember that low voltage, high tem-
peratures and the lower frequency clock modes also
impose limitations on loop gain, which in turn, affects
start-up.
Each of the following factors increases the start-up
time:
Low-frequency design (with a Low Gain Clock
mode)
Quiet environment (such as a battery-operated
device)
Operating in a shielded box (away from the noisy
RF area)
Low voltage
High temperature
Wake-up from Sleep mode
Circuit noise, on the other hand, may actually help to
“kick start” the oscillator and help to lower the oscillator
start-up time.
3.6.3 OSCILLATOR START-UP TIMER
In order to ensure that a crystal oscillator (or ceramic
resonator) has started and stabilized, an Oscillator
Start-up Timer (OST) is provided. The OST is a simple,
10-bit counter that counts 1024 TOSC cycles before
releasing the oscillator clock to the rest of the system.
This time-out period is designated as TOST. The ampli-
tude of the oscillator signal must reach the VIL and VIH
thresholds for the oscillator pins before the OST can
begin to count cycles.
The TOST interval is required every time the oscillator
has to restart (i.e., on POR, BOR and wake-up from
Sleep mode). The Oscillator Start-up Timer is applied to
the MS and HS modes for the Primary Oscillator, as well
as the Secondary Oscillator, SOSC (see Section 3.9
“Secondary Oscillator (SOSC)”).
3.6.4 TUNING THE OSCILLATOR
CIRCUIT
Since Microchip devices have wide operating ranges
(frequency, voltage and temperature, depending on the
part and version ordered), and external components
(crystals, capacitors, etc.) of varying quality and manu-
facture, validation of operation needs to be performed to
ensure that the component selection will comply with the
requirements of the application. There are many factors
that go into the selection and arrangement of these
external components. Depending on the application,
these may include any of the following:
Amplifier gain
Desired frequency
Resonant frequency(s) of the crystal
Temperature of operation
Supply voltage range
Start-up time
Stability
Crystal life
Power consumption
Simplification of the circuit
Use of standard components
Component count
3.6.5 DETERMINING THE BEST VALUES
FOR OSCILLATOR COMPONENTS
The best method for selecting components is to apply
a little knowledge, and a lot of trial measurement and
testing. Crystals are usually selected by their parallel
resonant frequency only; however, other parameters
may be important to your design, such as temperature
or frequency tolerance. Microchip Application Note
AN588, “PICmicro® Microcontroller Oscillator Design
Guide” (DS00000588) is an excellent reference to learn
more about crystal operation and ordering information.
The PIC18F internal oscillator circuit is a parallel
oscillator circuit which requires that a parallel resonant
crystal be selected. The load capacitance is usually
specified in the 22 pF to 33 pF range. The crystal will
oscillate closest to the desired frequency, with a load
capacitance in this range. It may be necessary to alter
these values, as described later, in order to achieve
other benefits.
The clock mode is primarily chosen based on the
desired frequency of the crystal oscillator. The main dif-
ference between the MS and HS Oscillator modes is
the gain of the internal inverter of the oscillator circuit,
which allows the different frequency ranges. In general,
use the oscillator option with the lowest possible gain
that still meets specifications. This will result in lower
dynamic currents (IDD). The frequency range of each
oscillator mode is the recommended frequency cutoff,
but the selection of a different gain mode is acceptable
as long as a thorough validation is performed (voltage,
temperature and component variations, such as resis-
tor, capacitor and internal oscillator circuitry). C1 and
C2 should also be initially selected based on the load
capacitance, as suggested by the crystal manufacturer,
and the tables supplied in the device data sheet. The
values given in the device data sheet can only be used
as a starting point, since the crystal manufacturer, sup-
ply voltage, and other factors already mentioned, may
cause your circuit to differ from the one used in the
factory characterization process.
Ideally, the capacitance is chosen so that it will oscillate
at the highest temperature and the lowest VDD that the
circuit will be expected to perform under. High tempera-
PIC18F97J94 FAMILY
DS30000575C-page 56 2012-2016 Microchip Technology Inc.
ture and low VDD both have a limiting effect on the loop
gain, such that if the circuit functions at these extremes,
the designer can be more assured of proper operation
at other temperatures and supply voltage combina-
tions. The output sine wave should not be clipped in the
highest gain environment (highest VDD and lowest tem-
perature) and the sine output amplitude should be large
enough in the lowest gain environment (lowest VDD
and highest temperature) to cover the logic input
requirements of the clock, as listed in the device data
sheet. OSC1 may have specified VIL and VIH levels
(refer to the specific product data sheet for more infor-
mation).
A method for improving start-up is to use a value of C2
greater than C1. This causes a greater phase shift across
the crystal at power-up, which speeds oscillator start-up.
Besides loading the crystal for proper frequency
response, these capacitors can have the effect of lower-
ing loop gain if their value is increased. C2 can be
selected to affect the overall gain of the circuit. A higher
C2 can lower the gain if the crystal is being overdriven
(also see discussion on Rs). Capacitance values that are
too high can store and dump too much current through
the crystal, so C1 and C2 should not become excessively
large. Unfortunately, measuring the wattage through a
crystal is difficult, but if you do not stray too far from the
suggested values, you should not have to be concerned
with this.
A series resistor, Rs, is added to the circuit if after all
other external components are selected to satisfaction,
and the crystal is still being overdriven. This can be
determined by looking at the OSC2 pin, which is the
driven pin, with an oscilloscope. Connecting the probe
to the OSC1 pin will load the pin too much and nega-
tively affect performance. Remember that a scope
probe adds its own capacitance to the circuit, so this
may have to be accounted for in your design (i.e., if the
circuit worked best with a C2 of 22 pF and the scope
probe was 10 pF, a 33 pF capacitor may actually be
called for). The output signal should not be clipping or
flattened. Overdriving the crystal can also lead to the
circuit jumping to a higher harmonic level, or even,
crystal damage.
The OSC2 signal should be a clean sine wave that
easily spans the input minimum and maximum of the
clock input pin. An easy way to set this is to again test
the circuit at the minimum temperature and maximum
VDD that the design will be expected to perform in; then,
look at the output. This should be the maximum ampli-
tude of the clock output. If there is clipping, or the sine
wave is distorted near VDD and VSS, increasing load
capacitors may cause too much current to flow through
the crystal, or push the value too far from the manufac-
turer’s load specification. To adjust the crystal current,
add a trimmer potentiometer between the crystal
inverter output pin and C2, and adjust it until the sine
wave is clean. The crystal will experience the highest
drive currents at the low temperature and high VDD
extremes.
The trimmer potentiometer should be adjusted at these
limits to prevent overdriving. A series resistor, Rs, of
the closest standard value can now be inserted in place
of the trimmer. If Rs is too high, perhaps more than
20 k, the input will be too isolated from the output,
making the clock more susceptible to noise. If you find
a value this high is needed to prevent overdriving the
crystal, try increasing C2 to compensate or changing
the oscillator operating mode. Try to get a combination
where Rs is around 10 k or less, and load
capacitance is not too far from the manufacturer’s
specification.
3.7 External Clock Input
In EC mode, the OSC1 pin is in a high-impedance state
and can be driven by CMOS drivers. The OSC2 pin can
be configured as either an I/O or the clock output
(FOSC 4) by selecting the CLKOEN bit (CONFIG2L<5>).
With CLKOEN set (Figure 3-5), the clock output is avail-
able for testing or synchronization purposes. With
CLKOEN clear (Figure 3-6), the OSC2 pin becomes a
general purpose I/O pin. The feedback device between
OSC1 and OSC2 is turned off to save current.

3.8 Phase Lock Loop (PLL) Branch
The PLL module contains two separate PLL
submodules: PLLM and PLL96MHZ. The PLLM sub-
module is configurable as a 4x, 6x or 8x PLL. The
PLL96MHZ submodule runs at 96 MHz and requires an
input clock between 4 MHz and 48 MHz (a multiple of
4 MHz). These are selected through the PLLDIV<3:0>
bits.

3.8.1 OSCILLATOR MODES AND USB
OPERATION
Because of the timing requirements imposed by USB,
an internal clock of 48 MHz is required at all times while
the USB module is enabled and not in a suspended
operating state. A method is provided to internally
generate both the USB and system clocks from a single
oscillator source. PIC18F97J94 family devices use the
same clock structure as most other PIC18 devices, but
include a two-branch PLL system to generate the two
clock signals.
The USB PLL block is shown in Figure 3-8. In this sys-
tem, the input from the Primary Oscillator is divided
down by a PLL prescaler to generate a 4 MHz output.
This is used to drive an on-chip 96 MHz PLL frequency
multiplier to drive the two clock branches. One branch
uses a fixed, divide-by-2 frequency divider to generate
the 48 MHz USB clock. The other branch uses a fixed,
divide-by-1.5 frequency divider and configurable PLL
prescaler/divider to generate a range of system clock
frequencies. The CPDIVx bits select the system clock
speed; available clock options are listed in Tab le 3 -3.
The USB PLL prescaler does not automatically sense
the incoming oscillator frequency. The user must manu-
ally configure the PLL divider to generate the required
4 MHz output, using the PLLDIV<3:0> Configuration
bits. This limits the choices for Primary Oscillator
frequency to a total of 8 possibilities, shown in Table 3-4.

CONFIGURATIONS FOR USB

3.8.2 CONSIDERATIONS FOR USING
THE PLL BLOCK
All PLL blocks use the LOCK bit (OSCCON2<5>) as a
read-only Status bit to indicate the lock status of the
PLL. It is automatically set after the typical time delay
for the PLL to achieve lock, designated as TLOCK. It is
cleared at a POR and on clock switches when the PLL
is selected as a clock source. It remains clear when any
clock source not using the PLL is selected.
If the PLL does not stabilize properly during start-up,
the LOCK bit may not reflect the actual status of the
PLL lock, nor does it detect when the PLL loses lock
during normal operation. Refer to the ”Electrical Char-
acteristics” section in the specific device data sheet
for further information on the PLL lock interval.
Using any PLL block with the FRC Oscillator provides
a stable system clock for microcontroller operations.
USB operation is only possible with FRC Oscillators
that are implemented with ±1/4% frequency accuracy.
Serial communications using USART are only possible
when FRC Oscillators are implemented with ±2% fre-
quency accuracy. The PIC18F97J94 family is able to
meet the required oscillator accuracy for both USB and
USART providing stable communication by use of its
active clock tuning feature. Refer to Section 3.13.3
“Active Clock Tuning (ACT) Module” for more
information.
If an application is being migrated between PIC18F
platforms with different PLL blocks, the differences in
PLL and clock options may require the reconfiguration
of peripherals that use the system clock. This is partic-
ularly true with serial communication peripherals, such
as the USARTs.
3.9 Secondary Oscillator (SOSC)
In most PIC18F devices, the low-power Secondary
Oscillator (SOSC) is implemented to run with a
32.768 kHz crystal. The oscillator is located on the
SOSCO and SOSCI device pins, and serves as a sec-
ondary crystal clock source for low-power operation. It
is used to drive Timer1, Real-Time Clock and Calendar
(RTCC) and other modules requiring a clock signal
while in low-power operation.
3.9.1 ENABLING THE SECONDARY
OSCILLATOR
The operation of the SOSC is selected by the FOSCx
Configuration bits or by selection of the NOSCx bits
(OSCCON<2:0>). The SOSC can also be enabled by
setting the SOSCEN bit in Timer1, Timer3 or Timer5.
The SOSC has a long start-up time; therefore, to avoid
delays for peripheral start-up, the SOSC can be
manually started using one of the SOSCEN bits.

3.9.2 SECONDARY OSCILLATOR
OPERATION
3.9.2.1 Continuous Operation
The SOSC is always running when any of the SOSCEN
bits are set. Leaving the oscillator running at all times
allows a fast switch to the 32 kHz system clock for
lower power operation. Returning to the faster main
oscillator still requires an oscillator start-up time if it is a
crystal-type source. This start-up time can be avoided
on PLL clock sources by setting the PLLEN bit (OSC-
CON4<5>) in advance of switching the clock source.
In addition, the oscillator will need to remain running at
all times for Real-Time Clock (RTC) application using
Timer1 or the RTCC module. Refer to Section 14.
“Timers” and Section 29. “Real-Time Clock and
Calendar (RTCC)” in the “PIC18F Family Reference
Manualfor further details.
3.9.2.2 Intermittent Operation
When all SOSCEN bits are cleared, the oscillator will
only operate when it is selected as the current device
clock source (COSC<2:0> = 100). It will be disabled
automatically if it is the current device clock source and
the device enters Sleep mode.
3.9.3 OPERATING MODES
3.9.3.1 Digital Mode
The SOSCO pin can also be configured to operate as a
digital clock input. The SOSCO pin is configured as a
digital input by setting SOSCSEL (CONFIG2L<3>) = 10.
When running in this mode, the SOSCO/SCLKI pin will
operate as a digital input to the oscillator section, while
the SOSCI pin will function as a port pin. The crystal
driving circuit is disabled. The Oscillator Configuration
Fuse bits (FOSC<2:0>) and New Oscillator Selection
bits (NOSC<2:0>) have no effect.
3.9.4 SOSC CRYSTAL SELECTION
A typical 50K ESR and 12.5 pF CL (capacitive loading)
rated crystal is recommended for reliable operation of
the SOSC. The duty cycle of the SOSC output can be
measured on the REFO pin, and is recommended to be
within +/-15% from a 50% duty cycle.
3.10 Internal Fast RC Oscillator (FRC)
The FRC Oscillator is a fast (8 MHz nominal), internal
RC Oscillator. This oscillator is intended to be a precise
internal RC Oscillator accurate enough to provide the
clock frequency necessary to maintain baud rate toler-
ance for serial data transmissions, without the use of
an external crystal or ceramic resonator. The PIC18F
device operates from the FRC Oscillator whenever the
COSCx bits are ‘111’, ‘110’, ‘001’ or ‘000’.
3.10.1 ENABLING THE FRC OSCILLATOR
Since it serves as the system clock during device initial-
ization, the FRC Oscillator is always enabled at a POR.
After the device is configured and PWRT expires, FRC
remains active only if it is selected as the device clock
source.
3.10.2 FRC POSTSCALER MODE (FRCDIV)
Users are not limited to the nominal 8 MHz FRC output
if they wish to use the Fast Internal Oscillator as a clock
source. An additional FRC mode, FRCDIV, implements
a selectable postscaler that allows the choice of a lower
clock frequency, from 7 different options, plus the direct
8 MHz output. The postscaler is configured using the
IRCF<2:0> bits (OSCCON3<2:0>). Assuming a
nominal 8 MHz output, available lower frequency
options range from 4 MHz (divide-by-2) to 31 kHz
(divide-by-256). The range of frequencies allows users
the ability to save power at any time in an application
by simply changing the IRCFx bits.
The FRCDIV mode is selected whenever the COSCx
bits are ‘111’.
3.10.3 FRC OSCILLATOR WITH PLL MODE
(FRCPLL)
The FRCPLL mode is selected whenever the COSCx
bits are ‘001’. In addition, this mode only functions when
the direct or divide-by-2 FRC postscaler options are
selected (IRCF<2:0> = 000 or 001).
When using the 4x or 8x PLL option, the output of the
FRC postscaler may also be combined with the PLL to
produce a nominal system clock of 16 MHz, 32 MHz or
64 MHz. Although somewhat less precise in frequency
than using the Primary Oscillator with a crystal or reso-
nator, it allows high-speed operation of the device
without the use of external oscillator components.
For devices with the basic 4x PLL block, the output of the
FRC postscaler block may also be combined with the
PLL to produce a nominal system clock of either 16 MHz
or 32 MHz. Although somewhat less precise in fre-
quency than using the Primary Oscillator with a crystal or
resonator, it still allows high-speed operation of the
device without the use of external oscillator components.
When using the 96 MHz PLL block, the output of the
FRC postscaler block may also be combined with the
PLL to produce a nominal system clock of either
4 MHz, 8 MHz, 16 MHz or 32 MHz. It also produces a
48 MHz USB clock; however, this USB clock must be
generated with the FRC Oscillator meeting the
frequency accuracy requirement of USB for proper
operation. Refer to the specific device data sheet for
details on the FRC Oscillator electrical characteristics.
2012-2016 Microchip Technology Inc. DS30000575C-page 61
PIC18F97J94 FAMILY
In cases where the frequency accuracy is not met for
USB operation, the FRCPLL mode should not be used
when USB is active.
3.11 Internal Low-Power RC Oscillator
(LPRC)
The LPRC Oscillator is separate from the FRC and oscil-
lates at a nominal frequency of 31 kHz. LPRC is the
clock source for the Power-up Timer (PWRT), Watchdog
Timer (WDT) and FSCM circuits. It may also be used to
provide a low-frequency clock source option for the
device, in those applications where power consumption
is critical and timing accuracy is not required.
3.11.1 ENABLING THE LPRC OSCILLATOR
Since it serves the Power-up Timer (PWRT) clock
source, the LPRC Oscillator is enabled at POR events
whenever the on-board voltage regulator is disabled.
After the PWRT expires, the LPRC Oscillator will
remain on if any one of the following is true:
The FSCM is enabled.
The WDT is enabled.
The LPRC Oscillator is selected as the system
clock (COSC<2:0> = 101).
If none of the above is true, the LPRC will shut off after
the PWRT expires.
3.12 Fail-Safe Clock Monitor (FSCM)
The Fail-Safe Clock Monitor (FSCM) allows the device
to continue to operate, even in the event of an oscillator
failure. The FSCM function is enabled by programming
the FSCMx (Clock Switch and Monitor) bits in CON-
FIG3L<5:4>. FSCM is only enabled when the
FSCM<1:0> bits (CONFIG3L<5:4>) = 00. When FSCM
is enabled, the internal LPRC Oscillator will run at all
times (except during Sleep mode).
In the event of an oscillator failure, the FSCM will gener-
ate a clock failure trap and will switch the system clock
to the FRC Oscillator. The user will then have the option
to either attempt to restart the oscillator or execute a
controlled shutdown. FSCM will monitor the system
clock source regardless of its source or oscillator mode.
This includes the Primary Oscillator for all oscillator
modes and the Secondary Oscillator, SOSC, when
configured as the system clock.
The FSCM module takes the following actions when
switching to the FRC Oscillator:
1. The COSCx bits are loaded with ‘
000
’.
2.
The CF Status bit is set to indicate the clock
failure
.
3.12.1 FSCM DELAY
On a POR, BOR or wake from Sleep mode event, a
nominal delay (TFSCM) may be inserted before the
FSCM begins to monitor the system clock source. The
purpose of the FSCM delay is to provide time for the
oscillator and/or PLL to stabilize when the PWRT is not
utilized. The FSCM delay will be generated after the
internal System Reset signal, SYSRST
, has been
released. Refer to Section 28.4 “Fail-Safe Clock
Monitor” for FSCM delay timing information.
The TFSCM interval is applied whenever the FSCM is
enabled and the EC, HS or SOSC Oscillator modes are
selected as the system clock.
3.12.2 FSCM AND SLOW OSCILLATOR
START-UP
If the chosen device oscillator has a slow start-up time
coming out of POR, BOR or Sleep mode, it is possible
that the FSCM delay will expire before the oscillator
has started. In this case, the FSCM will initiate a clock
failure trap. As this happens, the COSCx bits are
loaded with the FRC Oscillator selection. This will
effectively shut off the original oscillator that was trying
to start. The user can detect this situation and initiate a
clock switch back to the desired oscillator in the Trap
Service Routine (TSR).
3.12.3 FSCM AND WDT
The FSCM and the WDT both use the LPRC Oscillator
as their time base. In the event of a clock failure, the
WDT is unaffected and continues to run on the LPRC.
3.13 Clock Switching Operation
With few limitations, applications are free to switch
between any of the four clock sources (Primary, SOSC,
FRC and LPRC) under software control and at any
time. To limit the possible side effects that could result
from this flexibility, PIC18F devices have a safeguard
lock built into the switch process.
Note: Using FRC postscaler values, other than
000‘or001‘, will cause the clock input to
the PLL to be below the operating
frequency input range and may cause
undesirable operation.
Note: For more information about the oscilla-
tor failure trap, refer to Section 10.0
“Interrupts”.
Note: Refer to the “Electrical Characteristics
section of the specific device data sheet
for TFSCM specification values.
Note: Primary Oscillator mode has three different
submodes (MS, HS and EC), which are
determined by the POSCMDx Configura-
tion bits. While an application can switch to
and from Primary Oscillator mode, in soft-
ware, it cannot switch between the different
primary submodes without reprogramming
the device.

DS30000575C-page 62 2012-2016 Microchip Technology Inc.
3.13.1 ENABLING CLOCK SWITCHING
To enable clock switching, the FCKSM1 Configuration
bit must be programmed to0’. If the FCKSM1 Config-
uration bit is unprogrammed (‘1’), the clock switching
function and Fail-Safe Clock Monitor function are
disabled; this is the default setting.
The NOSCx control bits (OSCCON<2:0>) do not control
the clock selection when clock switching is disabled. How-
ever, the COSCx bits (OSCCON<6:4>) will reflect the
clock source selected by the FOSC Configuration bits.
3.13.2 OSCILLATOR SWITCHING
SEQUENCE
At a minimum, performing a clock switch requires this
basic sequence:
1. If desired, read the COSCx bits (OSCCON<6:4>)
to determine the current oscillator source.
2. Clear the CLKLOCK bit (OSCCON2<7>) to
enable writes to the NOSCx bits (OSCCON<2:0>).
3. Write the appropriate value to the NOSCx control
bits (OSCCON<2:0>) for the new oscillator
source.
Once the basic sequence is completed, the system
clock hardware responds automatically as follows:
1. The clock switching hardware compares the
COSC Status bits with the new value of the
NOSC control bits. If they are the same, then the
clock switch is a redundant operation. If they are
different, then a valid clock switch has been
initiated.
2. The new oscillator is turned on by the hardware
if it is not currently running. If a crystal oscillator
must be turned on, the hardware will wait until
the OST expires. If the new source is using the
PLL, then the hardware waits until a PLL lock is
detected (LOCK = 1).
3. The hardware waits for the new clock source to
stabilize and then performs the clock switch.
4. The NOSCx bit values are transferred to the
COSCx Status bits.
5. The old clock source is turned off at this time,
with the exception of LPRC (if WDT or FSCM is
enabled) or SOSC (if it is enabled by one of the
timer sources).
The timing of the transition between clock sources is
shown in Figure 3-9.
FIGURE 3-9: CLOCK TRANSITION TIMING DIAGRAM
Note 1: The processor will continue to execute
code throughout the clock switching
sequence. Timing-sensitive code should
not be executed during this time.
2: Direct clock switches between any
Primary Oscillator mode with PLL and
FRCPLL mode are not permitted. This
applies to clock switches in either direc-
tion. In these instances, the application
must switch to FRC mode as a transition
clock source between the two PLL
modes.

PIC18F97J94 FAMILY
A recommended code sequence for a clock switch
includes the following:
1. Disable interrupts during the OSCCON register
unlock and write sequence.
2. Clear the CLKLOCK bit (OSCCON2<7>) to
enable writes to the NOSCx bits (OSCCON<2:0>).
3. Write new oscillator source to NOSCx control bits.
4. Continue to execute code that is not clock-
sensitive (optional).
5. Invoke an appropriate amount of software delay
(cycle counting) to allow the selected oscillator
and/or PLL to start and stabilize.
6. Check to see if COSC contains the new oscillator
values that were requested in Step 3.
3.13.2.1 Clock Switching Considerations
When incorporating clock switching into an application,
users should keep certain things in mind when designing
their code.
If the new clock source is a crystal oscillator, the
clock switch time will be dominated by the
oscillator start-up time.
If the new clock source does not start, or is not
present, the clock switching hardware will wait
indefinitely for the new clock source. The user can
detect this situation because the COSCx bits will
not change to reflect the new desired oscillator
settings.
Switching to a low-frequency clock source, such
as the Secondary Oscillator, will result in very
slow device operation.
3.13.3 ACTIVE CLOCK TUNING (ACT)
MODULE
The Active Clock Tuning (ACT) module continuously
adjusts the 8 MHz internal oscillator, using an
available external reference, to achieve ± 0.20%
accuracy. This eliminates the need for a high-speed,
high-accuracy external crystal when the system has
an available lower speed, lower power, high-accuracy
clock source available. Systems implementing a Real-
Time Clock Calendar (RTCC) or a full-speed USB
application can take full advantage of the ACT module.
3.13.3.1 Active Clock Tuning Operation
The ACT module defaults to the disabled state after
any Reset. When the ACT module is disabled, the user
can write to the TUN<6:0> bits in the OSCTUNE
register to manually adjust the 8 MHz internal oscillator.
The module is enabled by setting the ACTEN bit of the
ACTCON register. When enabled, the ACT module
takes control of the OSCTUNE register. The ACT
module uses the selected ACT reference clock to tune
the 8 MHz internal oscillator to an accuracy of 8 MHz ±
0.2%. The tuning automatically adjusts the OSCTUNE
register every reference clock cycle.
3.13.3.2 Active Clock Tuning Source
Selection
The ACT reference clock is selected with the ACTSRC
bit of the ACTCON register. The reference clock
sources are provided by the:
USB module in full-speed operation (ACT_clk)
Secondary clock at 32.768 kHz (SOSC_clk)
3.13.3.3 ACT Lock Status
The ACTLOCK bit will be set to1’, when the 8 MHz
internal oscillator is successfully tuned.
The bit will be cleared by the following conditions:
Out of Lock condition
Device Reset
Module is disabled
3.13.3.4 ACT Out-of-Range Status
If the ACT module requires an OSCTUNE value
outside the range to achieve ± 0.20% accuracy, then
the ACT Out-of-Range (ACTORS) Status bit will be set
to ‘1’.
An out-of-range status can occur:
When the 8 MHZ internal oscillator is tuned to its
lowest frequency and the next ACT_clk event
requests a lower frequency.
When the 8 MHZ internal oscillator is tuned to its
highest frequency and the next ACT_clk event
requests a higher frequency.
When the ACT out-of-range event occurs, the 8 MHz
internal oscillator will continue to use the last written
OSCTUNE value. When the OSCTUNE value moves
back within the tunable range and ACTLOCK is
established, the ACTORS bit is cleared to ‘0’.
Note: The application should not attempt to
switch to a clock with a frequency lower
than 100 kHz when the FSCM is enabled.
Clock switching in these instances may
generate a false oscillator fail trap and
result in a switch to the Internal Fast RC
Oscillator.

3.13.4 ABANDONING A CLOCK SWITCH
In the event the clock switch does not complete, it can
be abandoned by setting the NOSCx bits to their previ-
ous values. This abandons the clock switch process,
stops and resets the OST (if applicable), and stops the
PLL (if applicable).
A clock switch procedure can be aborted at any time. A
clock switch that is already in progress can also be
aborted by performing a second clock switch.
3.13.5 ENTERING SLEEP MODE DURING
A CLOCK SWITCH
If the device enters Sleep mode during a clock switch
operation, the operation is abandoned. The processor
keeps the old clock selection and the NOSCx bits
return to their previous values (the same as COSC).
The SLEEP instruction is then executed normally.
3.14 Two-Speed Start-Up
Two-Speed Start-up is an automatic clock switching
feature that is independent of the manually controlled
clock switching previously described. It helps to mini-
mize the latency period, from oscillator start-up to code
execution, by allowing the microcontroller to use the
FRC Oscillator as a clock source until the primary clock
source is available. This feature is controlled by the
IESO Configuration bit (CONFIG2L<7>) and operates
independently of the state of the FSCM Configuration
bits.
Two-Speed Start-up is particularly useful when an
external oscillator is selected by the FOSCx Configura-
tion bits, and a crystal-based oscillator (either a
Primary or Secondary Oscillator) may have a longer
start-up time. As an internal RC Oscillator, the FRC
clock source is available almost immediately following
a POR or device wake-up.
With Two-Speed Start-up, the device starts executing
code on POR in its default oscillator configuration (FRC).
It continues to operate in this mode until the external
oscillator source, specified by the FOSCx Configuration
bits, becomes stable; at which time, it automatically
switches to that source.
Two-Speed Start-up is used on wake-up from the power-
saving Sleep mode. The device uses the FRC clock
source until the selected primary clock is ready. It is not
used in Idle mode, as the device will be clocked by the cur-
rently selected clock source until the primary clock source
becomes available.
3.14.1 SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR
USING TWO-SPEED START-UP
While using the FRC Oscillator in Two-Speed Start-up,
the device still obeys the normal command sequences
for entering power-saving modes, including SLEEP
and IDLE instructions. In practice, this means that user
code can change the NOSC<2:0> bit settings or issue
#SLEEP instructions before the OST times out. This
would allow an application to briefly wake-up, perform
routine “housekeeping” tasks and return to Sleep
before the device starts to operate from the external
oscillator.
User code can also check which clock source is cur-
rently providing the device clocking by checking the
status of the COSC<2:0> bits against the NOSC<2:0>
bits. If these two sets of bits match, the clock switch has
been completed successfully and the device is running
from the intended clock source; the Primary Oscillator
is providing the clock. Otherwise, FRC is providing the
clock during wake-up from Reset or Sleep mode.
3.15 Reference Clock Output Module
(REFO1 and REFO2)
3.15.1 APPLICATIONS
The PIC18F97J94 family has two Reference Clock
Output modules. Each of the Reference Clock Output
modules provides the user with the ability to send out
a programmed output clock onto the REFO1or REFO2
pins.
3.15.2 REFERENCE CLOCK SOURCE
The module provides the ability to select one of the
following clock sources:
Primary Crystal Oscillator (POSC)
Secondary Crystal Oscillator (SOSC)
32.768 kHz Internal Oscillator (INTOSC)
Fast Internal Oscillator (FRC)
Raw System Clock (sys_clk)
Peripheral Clock (p1_clk)
It includes a programmable clock divider with ratios
ranging from 1:1 to 1:65534.
When the clock source is a crystal or internal oscillator,
the RSLP bit (REFOxCON<3> can be set to continue
REFOx operation while the device is in Sleep Mode.
2012-2016 Microchip Technology Inc. DS30000575C-page 67
PIC18F97J94 FAMILY
3.15.3 CLOCK SYNCHRONIZATION
The Reference Clock Output is enabled only once
(ON = 1). Note that the source of the clock and the
divider values should be chosen prior to the bit being
set to avoid glitches on the REFO output.
Once the ON bit is set, its value is synchronized to the
reference clock domain to enable the output. This
ensures that no glitches will be seen on the output. Sim-
ilarly, when the ON bit is cleared, the output and the
associated output enable signals will be synchronized,
and disabled on the falling edge of the reference clock.
Note that with large divider values, this will cause the
REFO to be enabled for some period after ON is
cleared.
3.15.4 OPERATION IN SLEEP MODE
If any clock source, other than the peripheral clock, is
used as a base reference (i.e., ROSEL<3:0> 0001),
the user has the option to configure the behavior of the
oscillator in Sleep mode. The RSLP Configuration bit
determines if the oscillator will continue to run in
Sleep. If RSLP = 0, the oscillator will be shut down in
Sleep (assuming no other consumers are requesting
it). If RSLP = 1, the oscillator will continue to run in
Sleep.
The Reference Clock Output is synchronized with the
Sleep signal to avoid any glitches on its output.
3.15.5 MODULE ENABLE SIGNAL
The REFOx module may be enabled or disabled using
the REFOxMD register bit (PMD3, bit 1 or 0). The
module also needs to be turned on using the ON bit
(REFO1CON<7>).
3.15.5.1 Registers and Bits
This module provides the following device registers
and/or bits:
REFOxCON – Reference Clock Output Control

REFOxCON1 – Reference Clock Output Control 1

PIC18F97J94 FAMILY
4.0 POWER-MANAGED MODES
All PIC18F97J94 Family devices offer a number of
built-in strategies for reducing power consumption.
These strategies can be particularly useful in applica-
tions, which are both power-constrained (such as
battery operation), yet require periods of full-power
operation for timing-sensitive routines (such as serial
communications).
Aside from their low-power architecture, these devices
include an expanded range of dedicated hardware
features that allow the microcontroller to reduce power
consumption to even lower levels when long-term
hibernation is required, and still be able to resume
operation on short notice.
The device has four power-saving features:
Instruction-Based Power-Saving Modes
Hardware-Based Power Reduction Features
Microcontroller Clock Manipulation
Selective Peripheral Control
Combinations of these methods can be used to selec-
tively tailor an application’s power consumption, while
still maintaining critical or timing-sensitive application
features. However, it is more convenient to discuss the
strategies separately.
4.1 Overview of Power-Saving Modes
In addition to full-power operation, otherwise known as
Run mode, PIC18F97J94 Family devices offer three
instruction-based, power-saving modes and one hard-
ware-based mode. In descending order of power
consumption, they are:
•Idle
Sleep (including retention Sleep)
Deep Sleep (with and without retention)
•V
BAT (with and without RTCC)
By powering down all four modes, different functional
areas of the microcontroller allow progressive reduc-
tions of operating and Idle power consumption. In addi-
tion, three of the modes can be tailored for more power
reduction at a trade-off of some operating features.
Table 4-1 lists all of the operating modes (including Run
mode, for comparison) in order of increasing power
savings and summarizes how the microcontroller exits
the different modes.

PIC18F97J94 FAMILY
4.2 Instruction-Based Power-Saving
Modes
PIC18F97J94 Family devices have three instruction-
based power-saving modes; two of these have addi-
tional features that allow for additional tailoring of power
consumption. All three modes are entered through the
execution of the SLEEP instruction. In descending order
of power consumption, they are:
Idle Mode: The CPU is disabled, but the system
clock source continues to operate. Peripherals
continue to operate, but can optionally be
disabled.
Sleep Modes: The CPU, system clock source and
any peripherals that operate on the system clock
source are disabled.
Deep Sleep Modes: The CPU system clock
source, and all the peripherals except RTCC and
DSWDT are disabled. This is the lowest power
mode for the device. The power to RAM and
Flash is also disabled. Deep Sleep modes
represent the lowest power modes available
without removing power from the application.
Idle and Sleep modes are entered directly with the
SLEEP statement. Having IDLEN (OSCCON<7>) set
prior to the SLEEP statement will put the device into Idle
mode. For Deep Sleep mode, it is necessary to set the
DSEN bit (DSCONH<7>). To prevent inadvertent entry
into Deep Sleep mode, and possible loss of data, the
DSEN bit must be written to twice. The write need not
be consecutive instructions; however, it is a better
practice to write both, one after the other. It is also
recommended to clear the DSCON1 register before
setting the DSEN bit (Example 4-1).
EXAMPLE 4-1: SLEEP ASSEMBLY
SYNTAX
The instruction-based power-saving modes are exited
as a result of several different hardware triggers. When
the device exits one of these three operating modes, it
is said to ‘wake-up’. The characteristics of the power-
saving modes are described in the subsequent sec-
tions.
4.2.1 INTERRUPTS COINCIDENT WITH
POWER SAVE INSTRUCTIONS
Any interrupt that coincides with the execution of a
SLEEP instruction will be held off until entry into Sleep,
Idle or Deep Sleep mode is completed. The device will
then wake-up from the power-managed mode.
Interrupts that occur during the Deep Sleep unlock
sequence will interrupt the mandatory unlock sequence
and cause a failure to enter Deep Sleep. For this
reason, it is recommended to disable all interrupts
during the Deep Sleep unlock sequence.
4.2.2 RETENTION REGULATOR
A second on-chip voltage regulator is used for power
management in Sleep and Deep Sleep modes. This
regulator, also known as the retention regulator, sup-
plies core logic and other circuits with power at a lower
VCORE level, about 1.2V nominal. Running these
circuits at a lower voltage allows for an additional
incremental power saving over the normal minimum
VCORE level.
In Retention Sleep modes, using the regulator main-
tains the entire data RAM and its contents, instead of
just a few protected registers. This allows the device to
exit a power-saving mode and resume code execution
as its previous state.
The retention regulator is controlled by the Configuration
bit, RETEN (CONFIG7L<0>), and the SRETEN bit
(RCON4<4>). The RETEN bit makes the retention
regulator available for software control. By default
(RETEN = 1), the regulator is disabled and the SRETEN
bit has no effect. Programming RETEN (= 0) allows the
SRETEN bit to control the regulator’s operation, leaving
its use in power-saving modes at the user’s discretion.
Setting the SRETEN bit prior to executing the SLEEP
instruction puts the device into Retention Sleep mode.
If the DSEN bit was also unlocked and set prior to the
instruction, the device will enter Retention Deep Sleep
mode.
The retention regulator is not available outside of
Sleep, Deep Sleep or VBAT modes. Enabling it while
the device is operating in Run or Idle modes does not
allow the device to operate at a lower level of VCORE.
Note: SLEEP_MODE and IDLE_MODE are con-
stants defined in the Assembler Include
file for the selected device.

4.2.3 IDLE MODE
When the device enters Idle mode, the following events
occur:
The CPU will stop executing instructions.
The WDT is automatically cleared.
The system clock source will remain active and
the peripheral modules, by default, will continue to
operate normally from the system clock source.
Peripherals can optionally be shut down in Idle
mode using their ‘Stop in Idle’ control bit. (See
peripheral descriptions for further details.)
If the WDT or FSCM is enabled, the LPRC will
also remain active.
The processor will wake-up from Idle mode on the
following events:
On any interrupt that is individually enabled.
On any source of device Reset.
On a WDT time-out.
Upon wake-up from Idle mode, the clock is reapplied to
the CPU and instruction execution begins immediately,
starting with the instruction following the SLEEP instruc-
tion, or the first instruction in the Interrupt Service
Routine (ISR).
4.2.3.1 Time Delays on Wake-up from Idle
Mode
Unlike a wake-up from Sleep mode, there are no addi-
tional time delays associated with wake-up from Idle
mode. The system clock is running during Idle mode,
therefore, no start-up times are required at wake-up.
4.2.3.2 Wake-up from Idle on Interrupt
Any source of interrupt that is individually enabled
using the corresponding control bit in the PIEx register,
will be able to wake-up the processor from Idle mode.
When the device wakes from Idle mode, one of two
options may occur:
If the GIE bit is set, the processor will wake and
the Program Counter will begin execution at the
interrupt vector.
If the GIE bit is not set, the processor will wake
and the Program Counter will continue execution
following the SLEEP instruction.
The PD Status bit (RCON<2>) is set upon wake-up.
4.2.3.3 Wake-up from Idle on Reset
Any Reset, other than a Power-on Reset (POR), will
wake-up the CPU from Idle mode on any device Reset,
except a POR.
4.2.3.4 Wake-up from Idle on WDT Time-out
If the WDT is enabled, then the processor will wake-up
from Idle mode on a WDT time-out and continue code
execution with the instruction following the SLEEP
instruction that initiated Idle mode. Note that the WDT
time-out does not reset the device in this case. The TO
bit (RCON<3>) will be set.
4.2.4 SLEEP MODES
Most 08KA101 family devices that incorporate power-
saving features and VBAT, offer two distinct Sleep
modes: Sleep mode and Retention Sleep mode. The
characteristics of both Sleep modes are:
The system clock source is shut down. If an on-
chip oscillator is used, it is turned off.
The device current consumption will be optimum,
provided no I/O pin is sourcing the current.
The Fail-Safe Clock Monitor (FSCM) does not
operate during Sleep mode since the system
clock source is disabled.
The LPRC clock will continue to run in Sleep
mode if the WDT is enabled.
If Brown-out Reset (BOR) is enabled, the Brown-
out Reset (BOR) circuit remains operational
during Sleep mode.
The WDT, if enabled, is automatically cleared
prior to entering Sleep mode.
Some peripherals may continue to operate in
Sleep mode. These peripherals include I/O pins
that detect a change in the input signal or
peripherals that use an external clock input. Any
peripheral that operates from the system clock
source will be disabled in Sleep mode.
The processor will exit, or ‘wake-up’ from Sleep on one
of the following events:
On any interrupt source that is individually
enabled
On any form of device Reset
On a WDT time-out

PIC18F97J94 FAMILY
4.2.4.1 Retention Sleep Mode
Retention Sleep mode allows for additional power sav-
ings over Sleep mode by maintaining key systems from
the lower power retention regulator. When the retention
regulator is used, the normal on-chip voltage regulator
(operating at 1.8V nominal) is turned off and will enable
a low-power (1.2V typical) regulator. By using a lower
voltage, a lower total power consumption is achieved.
Retention Sleep also offers the advantage of maintain-
ing the contents of the data RAM. As a trade-off, the
wake-up time is longer than that for Sleep mode.
Retention Sleep mode is controlled by the SRETEN bit
(RCON4<4>) and the RETEN Configuration bit, as
described in Section 4.2.2, Retention Regulator.
4.3 Clock Source Considerations
When the device wakes up from either of the Sleep
modes, it will restart the same clock source that was
active when Sleep mode was entered. Wake-up delays
for the different oscillator modes are shown in Table 4 -
3 and Table 4-4, respectively.
If the system clock source is derived from a crystal oscil-
lator and/or the PLL, the Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST)
and/or PLL lock times must be applied before the system
clock source is made available to the device. As an
exception to this rule, no oscillator delays are necessary
if the system clock source is the Secondary Oscillator
and it was running while in Sleep mode.
4.3.1 SLOW OSCILLATOR START-UP
The OST and PLL lock times may not have expired
when the power-up delays have expired.
To avoid this condition, one can enable Two-Speed
Start-up by the device that will run on FRC until the
clock source is stable. Once the clock source is stable,
the device will switch to the selected clock source.
4.3.2 WAKE-UP FROM SLEEP ON
INTERRUPT
Any source of interrupt that is individually enabled, using
its corresponding control bit in the PIEx registers, can
wake-up the processor from Sleep mode. When the
device wakes from Sleep mode, one of two following
actions may occur:
If the GIE bit is set, the processor will wake and
the Program Counter will begin execution at the
interrupt vector.
If the GIE bit is not set, the processor will wake
and the Program Counter will continue execution
following the SLEEP instruction that initiated Sleep
mode.
4.3.3 WAKE-UP FROM SLEEP ON RESET
All sources of device Reset will wake-up the processor
from Sleep mode.
4.3.4 WAKE-UP FROM SLEEP ON
WATCHDOG TIME-OUT
If the Watchdog Timer (WDT) is enabled and expires
while the device is in Sleep mode, the processor will
wake-up. The SWDTEN Status bit (RCON2<5>) is set
to indicate that the device resumed operation due to
the WDT expiration. Note that this event does not reset
the device. Operation continues from the instruction fol-
lowing the SLEEP instruction that initiated Sleep mode.
4.3.5 CONTROL BIT SUMMARY FOR
SLEEP MODES
Table 4-2 shows the settings for the bits relevant to
Sleep modes.
TABLE 4-2: BIT SETTINGS FOR ALL
SLEEP MODES
4.3.6 WAKE-UP DELAYS
The restart delay, associated with waking up from
Sleep and Retention Sleep modes, parallel each other
in terms of clock start-up times. They differ in the time
it takes to switch over from their respective regulators.
The delays for the different oscillator modes are shown
in Table 4-3 and Ta bl e 4 - 4 , respectively.

4.4 Deep Sleep Modes
The Deep Sleep modes puts the device into its lowest
power consumption states without requiring the use of
external switches to remove power from the device.
There are two modes available: Deep Sleep mode and
Retention Deep Sleep mode.
During both Deep Sleep modes, the power to the
microcontroller core is removed to reduce leakage
current. Therefore, most peripherals and functions of
the microcontroller become unavailable during Deep
Sleep. However, a few specific peripherals and func-
tions are powered directly from the VDD supply rail of
the microcontroller, and therefore, can continue to
function in Deep Sleep. In addition, four data memory
locations, DSGPR0, DSGPR1, DSGPR2 and
DSGPR3, are preserved for context information after
an exit from Deep Sleep.
Deep Sleep has a dedicated Deep Sleep Brown-out
Reset (DSBOR) and a Deep Sleep Watchdog Timer
Reset (DSWDT) for monitoring voltage and time-out
events in Deep Sleep mode. The DSBOR and DSWDT
are independent of the standard BOR and WDT used
with other power-managed modes (Run, Idle and
Sleep).
Entering Deep Sleep mode clears the Deep Sleep
Wake-up Source Registers (DSWAKEL and
DSWAKEH). If enabled, the Real-Time Clock and
Calendar (RTCC) continues to operate uninterrupted.
When a wake-up event occurs in Deep Sleep mode (by
Reset, RTCC alarm, External Interrupt (INT0) or
DSWDT), the device will exit Deep Sleep mode and re-
arm a Power-on Reset (POR). When the device is
released from Reset, code execution will resume at the
Reset vector.
4.4.1 RETENTION DEEP SLEEP MODE
In Retention Deep Sleep, the retention regulator is
enabled, which allows the data RAM to retain data
while all other systems are powered down. This also
allows the device to return to code execution where it
left off, instead of going through a POR-like Reset.
As a trade-off, Retention Deep Sleep mode has greater
power consumption than Deep Sleep. However, it
offers the lowest level of power consumption of the
power-saving modes that still allows a direct return to
code execution.
Retention Deep Sleep is controlled by the SRETEN bit
(RCON4<4>) and the RETEN Configuration bit, as
described in Section 4.2.2 “Retention Regulator”.
4.4.2 ENTERING DEEP SLEEP MODES
Deep Sleep modes are entered by:
Setting the DSEN bit (DSCONH<7>)
Executing the SLEEP instruction
To enter Retention Deep Sleep, the SRETEN bit must
also be set prior to setting the DSEN bit (Example 4-1).
In order to minimize the possibility of inadvertently
entering Deep Sleep, the DSEN bit must be set by two
separate write operations. To enter Deep Sleep, the
SLEEP instruction must be executed after setting the
DSEN bit (i.e., the next instruction). If DSEN is not set
when Sleep is executed, the device will enter a Sleep
mode instead.
4.4.3 DEEP SLEEP WAKE-UP SOURCES
The device can be awakened from Deep Sleep modes
by any of the following:
•MCLR
•POR
•RTCC Alarm
INT0 Interrupt
DSWDT Event
After waking from Deep Sleep mode, the device per-
forms a POR. When the device is released from Reset,
code execution will begin at the device’s Reset vector.
The software can determine if the wake-up was caused
from an exit from Deep Sleep mode by reading the
DPSLP bit (RCON4<2>). If this bit is set, the POR was
caused by a Deep Sleep exit. The DPSLP bit must be
manually cleared by the software.
The software can determine the wake-up event source
by reading the DSWAKE registers. These registers are
cleared automatically when entering Deep Sleep
mode, so software should read these registers after
exiting Deep Sleep mode or before re-enabling this
mode.
4.4.4 CLOCK SELECTION ON WAKE-UP
FROM DEEP SLEEP MODE
For Deep Sleep mode, the processor will restart with
the default oscillator source, selected with the FOSCx
Configuration bits. On wake-up from Deep Sleep, a
POR is generated internally, hence, the system resets
to its POR state with the exception of the RCONx,
DSCONH/L and DSGPRx registers.
For Retention Deep Sleep, the processor restarts with
the same clock source that was selected before enter-
ing Retention Deep Sleep mode. Wake-up is similar to
that of Sleep and Retention Sleep modes.
PIC18F97J94 FAMILY
DS30000575C-page 76 2012-2016 Microchip Technology Inc.
4.4.5 SAVING CONTEXT DATA WITH THE
DSGPRx REGISTERS
As exiting Deep Sleep mode causes a POR, most
Special Function Registers (SFRs) reset to their default
POR values. In addition, because the core power is not
supplied in Deep Sleep mode, information in data RAM
may be lost when exiting this mode. Applications which
require critical data to be saved prior to Deep Sleep may
use the Deep Sleep General Purpose registers,
DSGPR0, DSGPR1, DSGPR2 and DSGPR3. Unlike
other SFRs, the contents of these registers are pre-
served while the device is in Deep Sleep mode. After
exiting Deep Sleep, software can restore the data by
reading the registers and clearing the RELEASE bit
(DSCONL<0>).
Any data stored in the DSGPRx registers must be writ-
ten twice. Like other Deep Sleep control features, the
write operations do not need to be sequential. However,
back-to-back writes are a recommended programming
practice.
Since the contents of data RAM are maintained in
Retention Deep Sleep, the use of the DSGPRx registers
to store critical data is not necessary in this mode.
4.4.6 I/O PINS DURING DEEP SLEEP
During Deep Sleep, general purpose I/O pins retain
their previous states. Pins that are configured as inputs
(TRIS bit is set), prior to entry into Deep Sleep, remain
high-impedance during Deep Sleep.
Pins that are configured as outputs (TRIS bit is clear),
prior to entry into Deep Sleep, will remain as output pins
during Deep Sleep. While in this mode, they will drive the
output level determined by their corresponding LAT bit at
the time of entry into Deep Sleep.
Once the device wakes back up, all I/O pins will continue
to maintain their previous states, even after the device
has finished the POR sequence and is executing applica-
tion code again. Pins configured as inputs during Deep
Sleep will remain high-impedance and pins configured as
outputs will continue to drive their previous value. After
waking up, the TRIS and LAT registers will be reset. If
firmware modifies the TRIS and LAT values for the I/O
pins, they will not immediately go to the newly configured
states. Once the firmware clears the RELEASE bit
(DSCONL<0>), the I/O pins are “released”. This
causes the I/O pins to take the states configured by
their respective TRIS and LAT bit values.
If the Deep Sleep BOR (DSBOR) is enabled, and a
DSBOR event occurs during Deep Sleep (or VDD is
hard-cycled to VSS), the I/O pins will be immediately
released, similar to clearing the RELEASE bit. All
previous state information will be lost, including the
general purpose DSGPR0, DSGPR1, DSGPR2 and
DSGPR3 contents. DSGPRx register contents will be
maintained if the VBAT pin is powered.
If a MCLR Reset event occurs during Deep Sleep, the
I/O pins will also be released automatically, but in this
case, the DSGPR0, DSGPR1, DSGPR2 and DSGPR3
contents will remain valid.
In case of MCLR Reset and all other Deep Sleep wake-
up cases, application firmware needs to clear the
RELEASE bit (DSCONL<0>) in order to reconfigure the I/
O pins.
4.4.7 DEEP SLEEP WATCHDOG TIMER
(DSWDT)
Deep Sleep has its dedicated WDT (DSWDT). It is
enabled through the DSWDTEN Configuration bit. The
DSWDT is equipped with a postscaler for time-outs of
2.1 ms to 25.7 days, configurable through the Configura-
tion bits, DSWDTPS<4:0>. Entering Deep Sleep mode
automatically clears the DSWDT.
The DSWDT also has a configurable reference clock
source for selecting the LPRC or SOSC. The reference
clock source is configured through the DSWDTOSC
Configuration bit.
Under certain circumstances, it is possible for the DSWDT
clock source to be off when entering Deep Sleep mode. In
this case, the clock source is turned on automatically (if
DSWDT is enabled), without the need for software inter-
vention. However, this can cause a delay in the start of the
DSWDT counters. In order to avoid this delay, when using
SOSC as a clock source, the application can activate
SOSC prior to entering Deep Sleep mode.
4.4.8 DEEP SLEEP LOW-POWER
BROWN-OUT RESET
Devices with a Deep Sleep Power-Saving mode also
have a dedicated BOR for Deep Sleep modes (DSBOR).
It has a trip point range of 1.7V-2.3V nominal and is
enabled through the DSBOREN (CONFIG7L<3>)
Configuration bit.
When the device enters a Deep Sleep mode and
receives a DSBOR event, the device will not wake-up
and will remain in the Deep Sleep mode. When a valid
wake-up event occurs and causes the device to exit
Deep Sleep mode, software can determine if a DSBOR
event occurred during Deep Sleep mode by reading the
BOR (DSWAKEL<6>) Status bit.
4.4.9 RTCC AND DEEP SLEEP
The RTCC can operate uninterrupted during Deep
Sleep modes. It can wake-up the device from Deep
Sleep by configuring an alarm. The RTCC clock source
is configured with the RTCC Clock Select bits,
RTCCLKSEL<1:0>. The available reference clock
sources are the LPRC and SOSC. If the LPRC is used,
the RTCC accuracy will directly depend on the LPRC
tolerance.
If the RTCC is not required, Deep Sleep mode with the
RTCC disabled, affords the lowest power consumption
of any of the instruction-based power-saving modes.

4.5 VBAT Mode
VBAT mode is a hardware-based power mode that
maintains only the most critical operations when a
power loss occurs on VDD. The mode does this by
powering these systems from a back-up power source
connected to the VBAT pin. In this mode, the RTCC can
run even when there is no power on VDD.
VBAT mode is entered whenever power is removed
from VDD. An on-chip power switch detects the power
loss from the VDD and connects the VBAT pin to the
retention regulator. This provides power at 1.2V to
maintain the retention regulator, as well as the RTCC,
with its clock source (if enabled) and the Deep Sleep
General Purpose (DSGPRx) registers (Figure 4-1).
Entering VBAT mode requires that a power source, dis-
tinct from the main VDD power source, be available on
VBAT and that VDD be completely removed from the
VDD pin(s). Removing VDD can be either unintentional,
as in a power failure, or as part of a deliberate power
reduction strategy.
As with Deep Sleep modes, the contents of the Deep
Sleep General Purpose (DSGPRx) registers are main-
tained by the retention regulator. Since the power loss
on VDD may be unforeseen, it is recommended to load
any data to be saved in these registers in advance.
Any data stored in the DSGPRx registers must be written
twice. The write operations do not need to be sequential;
however, back-to-back writes are a recommended
programming practice.

4.5.1 WAKE-UP FROM VBAT MODES
When VDD is restored to a device in VBAT mode, it auto-
matically wakes. Wake-up occurs with a POR, after
which the device starts executing code from the Reset
vector. All SFRs, except the Deep Sleep semaphores
and RTCC registers are reset to their POR values. If
the RTCC was not configured to run during VBAT mode,
it will remain disabled and RTCC will not run. Wake-up
timing is similar to that for a normal POR.
Wake-up from VBAT mode is identified by checking the
state of the VBAT bit (RCON3<0>). If this bit is set when
the device is awake and starting to execute the code
from the Reset vector, it indicates that the exit was from
VBAT mode. To identify future VBAT wake-up events,
the bit must be cleared in software.
When a POR event occurs with no battery connected
to the VBAT pin, the VBPOR bit (RCON3<1>) becomes
set. On the device, if there is no battery connected to
the VBAT pin, VBPOR will indicate that the battery needs
to be connected to the VBAT pin.
In addition, if the VBAT power source falls below the
level needed for Deep Sleep semaphore operation
while in VBAT mode (e.g., the battery has been
drained), the VBPOR bit will be set. VBPOR is also set
when the microcontroller is powered up the very first
time, even if power is supplied to VBAT.
4.6 Saving Context Data with the
DSGPRx Registers
As exiting VBAT causes a POR, most Special Function
Registers reset to their default POR values. In addition,
because the core power is not supplied in VBAT mode,
information in data RAM will be lost when exiting this
mode. Applications which require critical data to be
saved, should be saved in DSGPR0, DSGPR1,
DSGPR2 and DSGPR3.
Any data stored to the DSGPRx registers must be
written twice. The write operations do not need to be
sequential. However, back-to-back writes are a
recommended programming practice.
After exiting VBAT mode, software can restore the data
by reading the registers.
4.6.1 I/O PINS DURING VBAT MODE
All I/O pins should be maintained at VSS level; no I/O
pins should be given VDD (refer to “Absolute
Maximum Ratings(†) in Section 30.0 “Electrical
Specifications”) during VBAT mode. The only
exceptions are the SOSCI and SOSCO pins, which
maintain their states if the Secondary Oscillator is
being used as the RTCC clock source. It is the user’s
responsibility to restore the I/O pins to their proper
states, using the TRIS and LAT bits, once VDD has
been restored.

4.7 Selective Peripheral Power
Control
Sleep and Idle modes allow users to substantially reduce
power consumption by slowing or stopping the CPU
clock. Even so, peripheral modules still remain clocked,
and thus, consume some amount of power. There may
be cases where the application needs what these modes
do not provide: the ability to allocate limited power
resources to the CPU while eliminating power consump-
tion from the peripherals. The 08KA101 family addresses
this requirement by allowing peripheral modules to be
selectively enabled or disabled, reducing or eliminating
their power consumption.
4.7.1 DISABLING PERIPHERAL
MODULES
Most of the peripheral modules in the
08KA101 family
architecture can be selectively disabled, reducing, or
essentially eliminating, their power consumption during
all operating modes. Two different options are available
to users, each with a slightly different effect.
4.7.2 MODULE ENABLE BIT (XXXEN)
Many peripheral modules have a Module Enable bit,
generically named, “XXXEN”, usually located in Bit
Position 7 of their control registers (or Primary Control
registers for more complex modules). Here, “XXX”
represents the mnemonic form for the module of the
module name. For example, the enable bit for an
MSSPx module is “SSPEN”, and so on. The bit is pro-
vided for all serial and parallel communication modules
and the Real-Time Clock (RTC). Clearing this bit
disables the module’s operation; however, it continues
to receive clock signals and draw a minimal amount of
current.
As with all earlier PIC® MCU devices, timers continue to
be under selective operation and are controlled by their
own TON bit, also located in Position 7. The A/D Con-
verter also has a legacy enable bit, ADON, that has the
same function as the XXXEN bits. I/O ports and features
associated with them, such as input change notification
and input capture, do not have their own module enable
bits, since their operation is secondary to other modules.
Disabling modules not required for a particular applica-
tion, in this manner, allows for the selective and
dynamic adjusting power consumption, under software
control, as the application is running.
4.7.3 PERIPHERAL MODULE DISABLE
BIT (XXMD)
All peripheral modules (except for I/O ports) also have
a second control bit that can disable their functionality.
These bits, known as the Peripheral Module Disable
(PMD) bits, are generically named, “XXMD” (using “XX”
as the mnemonic version of the module’s name), as
shown in Section 4.7.2 “Module Enable Bit
(XXXEN)”). These bits are located in the PMDx SFRs.
In contrast to the module enable bits, the XXMD bit
must be set (= 1) to disable the module.
While the PMD and module enable bits both disable a
peripheral’s functionality, the PMD bit completely shuts
down the peripheral, effectively powering down all
circuits and removing all clock sources. This has the
additional effect of making any of the module’s control
and buffer registers, mapped in the SFR space,
unavailable for operations. In other words, when the
PMD bit is used to disable a module, the peripheral
ceases to exist until the PMD bit is cleared. This differs
from using the module enable bit, which allows the
peripheral to be reconfigured and buffer registers
preloaded, even when the peripheral’s operations are
disabled.
The PMD bit is most useful in highly power-sensitive
applications, where even tiny savings in power
consumption can determine the ability of an application
to function. In these cases, the bits can be set before
the main body of the application to remove those
peripherals that will not be needed at all.

5.0 RESET
The 08KA101 family devices differentiate between vari-
ous kinds of Reset:
a) Power-on Reset (POR)
b) MCLR Reset
c) Watchdog Timer (WDT) Reset
d) Configuration Mismatch (CM)
e) Brown-out Reset (BOR)
f) RESET Instruction
g) Stack Underflow/Overflow Reset
This section discusses Resets generated by MCLR,
POR and BOR, and covers the operation of the various
start-up timers. For information on WDT Resets, see
Section 28.2 “Watchdog Timer (WDT)”. For Stack
Reset events, see Section 6.1.4.4 “Stack Full and
Underflow Resets”. For Deep Sleep mode, see
Section 4.4 “Deep Sleep Modes.
A simplified block diagram of the On-Chip Reset Circuit
is shown in Figure 5-1.
5.1 RCON Registers
Device Reset events are tracked through the RCON,
RCON2, RCON3 and RCON4 registers (Register 5-1,
Register 5-2, Register 5-3 and Register 5-4). The regis-
ter bits indicate that a specific Reset event has occurred.
Depending on the definition, Status bits may be set or
cleared by the event, and re-initialized by the applica-
tion, after the event to the opposite state. Setting or
clearing Reset Status bits does not cause a Reset.
The state of these flag bits, taken together, can be read
to indicate the type of Reset that just occurred.
The RCON register also has a control bit for setting
interrupt priority (IPEN). Interrupt priority is discussed
in Section 10.0 “Interrupts”.

5.2 Power-on Reset (POR)
The PIC18F97J94 family has two types of Power-on
Resets:
•POR
•V
BAT POR
POR is the legacy PIC18J series Power-on Reset which
monitors core power supply. The second, VBAT POR,
monitors voltage on the VBAT pin. These POR circuits
use the same technique to enable and monitor their
respective power source for adequate voltage levels to
ensure proper chip operation. There are two threshold
voltages associated with them. The first voltage is the
device threshold voltage, VPOR. The device threshold
voltage is the voltage at which the POR module
becomes operable. The second voltage associated with
a POR event is the POR circuit threshold voltage. Once
the correct threshold voltage is detected, a power-on
event occurs and the POR module hibernates to
minimize current consumption.
A power-on event generates an internal POR pulse
when a VDD rise is detected. The device supply voltage
characteristics must meet the specified starting voltage,
VPOR, and rise rate requirements, SVDD, to generate the
POR pulse. In particular, VDD must fall below VPOR
before a new POR is initiated. For more information on
the VPOR and VDD rise rate specifications, refer to
Section 30.0 “Electrical Specifications”.
5.2.1 POR CIRCUIT
The POR circuit behaves differently than VBAT POR
once the POR state becomes active. The internal POR
pulse resets the POR timer and places the device in the
Reset state. The POR also selects the device clock
source identified by the Oscillator Configuration bits.
After the POR pulse is generated, the POR circuit
inserts a small delay, TCSD, to ensure that internal
device bias circuits are stable.
After the expiration of TCSD, a delay, TPWRT, is always
inserted every time the device resumes operation after
any power-down. During this time, code execution is
disabled. The PWRT is used to extend the duration of
a power-up sequence to permit the on-chip band gap
and regulator to stabilize and to load the Configuration
Word settings. The on-chip regulator is always enabled
and its stabilization time is shorter than other concur-
rently running delays, and does not extend start-up
time.
The power-on event clears the BOR and POR Status
bits (RCON<1:0>); it does not change for any other
Reset event. POR is not reset to ‘1’ by any hardware
event. To capture multiple events, the user manually
resets the bit to1’ in software following any Power-on
Reset. Alternatively, the VDDPOR (RCON3<2>) bit can
be used; it is set on a VDD POR event. It must be
cleared after any Power-on Reset to detect subsequent
VDD POR events.
After TPWRT expires, an additional start-up time for the
system clock (either TOST, TIOBST and TRC, depending
on the source) occurs while the clock source becomes
stable. Internal Reset is then released and the device
is no longer held in Reset (Ta bl e 5 - 2 ). Once all of the
delays have expired, the system clock is released and
code execution can begin. Refer to Section 30.0
“Electrical Specifications” for more information on
the values of the delay parameters.
Note: When the device exits the Reset condition
(begins normal operation), the device
operating parameters (voltage, frequency,
temperature, etc.) must be within their
operating ranges; otherwise, the device
will not function correctly. The user must
ensure that the delay between the time
power is first applied, and the time,
INTERNAL RESET, becomes inactive, is
long enough to get all operating
parameters within specification.

5.2.1.1 Using the POR Circuit
To take advantage of the POR circuit, tie the MCLR pin
directly to VDD. This will eliminate external RC compo-
nents usually needed to create a POR delay. A
minimum rise time for VDD is required. Refer to the
“Electrical Characteristics” section of the specific
device data sheet for more information.
Depending on the application, a resistor may be
required between the MCLR pin and VDD. This resistor
can be used to decouple the MCLR pin from a noisy
power supply rail.
Figure 5-3 displays a possible POR circuit for a slow
power supply ramp up. The external POR circuit is only
required if the device would exit Reset before the
device VDD is in the valid operating range. The diode,
D, helps discharge the capacitor quickly when VDD
powers down.
FIGURE 5-3: EXTERNAL POWER-ON
RESET CIRCUIT (FOR
SLOW VDD POWER-UP)
5.2.2 VBAT POWER-ON-RESET (VBPOR)
The device will remain in VBAT mode as long as no
power is present on VDD. The VBPOR is active when
the device is operating in VBAT mode and deriving
power from the VBAT pin. Similar to the POR, the circuit
monitors VBAT voltage and holds the device in Reset
until adequate voltage is present to power up the
device. After exiting the VBAT POR condition, the
VBPOR (RCON3<1>) bit is set. All other registers will
be in a POR state, including Deep Sleep semaphores.
Minimum VBAT ramp time and rearm voltage require-
ments apply. Refer to Parameters D003 and D004 in
Section 30.0 “Electrical Specifications” for details.
The device does not execute code in VBAT mode. Also,
there is no Power-up Timer associated with VBPOR.
After VDD power is restored, the device exits VBAT
mode and the VBAT (RCON3<0>) bit is set. All other
registers, except those associated with RTCC, its clock
source and the Deep Sleep semaphores (DSGPRx),
will be in a POR state. For more information about VBAT
mode, see Section 4.5 “Vbat Mode”.
5.3 Master Clear Reset (MCLR)
Whenever the MCLR pin is driven low, the device asyn-
chronously asserts SYSRST, provided the input pulse
on MCLR is longer than a certain minimum width, TMCL
(see Section 30.0 “Electrical Specifications”).
When the MCLR pin is released, SYSRST is also
released. The Reset vector fetch starts from the
SYSRST release. The processor continues to use the
existing clock source that was in use before the MCLR
Reset occurred. The EXTR Status bit (RCON2<7>) is
set to indicate the MCLR Reset.
5.4 Watchdog Timer Reset (WDT)
Whenever a Watchdog Timer time-out occurs, the
device asynchronously asserts SYSRST
. The clock
source remains unchanged. Note that a WDT time-out
during Sleep or Idle mode will wake-up the processor,
but NOT reset the processor. The TO bit (RCON<3>) is
cleared when a WDT time-out occurs. Software must
set this bit to initialize the flag. For more information,
refer to Section 28.2 “Watchdog Timer (WDT)”.
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: R < 40 k is recommended to make sure that
the voltage drop across R does not violate
the device’s electrical specification.
3: R1 1 k will limit any current flowing into
MCLR from external capacitor, C, in the event
of MCLR/VPP pin breakdown, due to Electro-
static Discharge (ESD) or Electrical
Overstress (EOS).

PIC18F97J94 FAMILY
5.5 Configuration Mismatch
Reset (CM)
The Configuration Mismatch (CM) Reset is designed to
detect, and attempt to recover from, random memory
corrupting events. These include Electrostatic
Discharge (ESD) events, which can cause widespread,
single bit changes throughout the device and result in
catastrophic failure.
In PIC18FXXJXX Flash devices, device Configuration
registers (located in the configuration memory space)
are continuously monitored during operation by compar-
ing their values to complimentary shadow registers. If a
mismatch is detected between the two sets of registers,
a CM Reset automatically occurs. These events are
captured by the CM bit (RCON<5>) being set to ‘0’.
This bit does not change for any other Reset event. A
CM Reset behaves similarly to a Master Clear Reset,
RESET instruction, WDT Time-out Reset or Stack Event
Reset. As with all hard and power Reset events, the
device’s Configuration Words are reloaded from the
Flash Configuration Words in program memory as the
device restarts.
5.6 Brown-out Reset (BOR) Features
The PIC97J94 family has four different types of BOR
circuits:
Brown-out Reset (BOR)
•V
DDCORE Brown-out Reset (VDDBOR)
•V
BAT Brown-out Reset (VBATBOR)
Deep Sleep Brown-out Reset (DSBOR)
All four BOR circuits monitor a voltage and put the
device in a Reset condition while the voltage is in a
specified region. SFRs will reset to the BOR state,
including the Deep Sleep semaphore holding registers,
DSGPR0 and DSGPR1. Upon BOR exit, the device
remains in Reset until the associated trip point voltage
is exceeded. Any I/O pins configured as outputs will be
tri-stated. BOR, VDDBOR and DSBOR exit into Run
mode; VBATBOR remains in VBAT mode.
These features differ by their power mode, monitored
voltage source, trip points, control and status. Refer to
Table 5-1 for the PIC18F97J94 BOR differences.
TABLE 5-1: BOR FEATURE SUMMARY(1)
Feature Mode Source Trip Points Enable

5.6.1 BROWN-OUT RESET (BOR)
Brown-out Reset is the legacy PIC18 “J” feature that
monitors the core voltage, VDDCORE. Since the regulator
on the PIC18F97J94 family is always enabled, this
feature is always active. Its trip point is non-configurable.
A Brown-out Reset will occur as the regulator output
voltage drops below, approximately 1.6V. After proper
operating voltage recovers, the Brown-out Reset condi-
tion is exited and execution begins after the Power-up
Timer has expired. The BOR (RCON<0>) bit is also
cleared. This bit must be set after each Brown-out and
Power-on Reset event to detect subsequent Brown-out
Reset events.
5.6.2 VDD BOR (VDDBOR)
VDDBOR is enabled by setting the BOREN (CON-
FIG1H<0>) Configuration bit. The low-power BOR trip
level is configurable to either 1.8V or 2.0V, (typ)
depending on the BORV (CONFIG1H<1>) Configura-
tion bit setting. When in normal Run mode, Idle or nor-
mal Sleep modes, the BOR circuit that monitors VDD is
active and will cause the device to be held in BOR if
VDD drops below VBOR. Once VDD rises back above
VVDDBOR, the device will be held in Reset until the expi-
ration of the Power-up Timer, with period, TPWRT. This
event is captured by the VDDBOR flag bit
(RCON3<3>).
5.6.3 DETECTING VDD BOR
When the BOR module is enabled, the VDDBOR
(RCON3<3>) bit is set on a Brown-out Reset event. This
makes it difficult to determine if a Brown-out Reset event
has occurred just by reading the state of VDDBOR
alone. A more reliable method is to simultaneously
check the state of both VDDPOR and VDDBOR. This
assumes that the VDDPOR bit is reset to 1’ in software
immediately after any Power-on Reset event. If
VDDBOR is ‘0’ while VDDPOR is 1’, it can be reliably
assumed that a Brown-out Reset event has occurred.
Legacy PIC18 software can use the respective POR
(RCON<1>) and BOR (RCON<0>) bits. This technique
monitors the regulator output voltage, VDDCORE. To take
advantage of the configuration features, it is
recommended to use VDDBOR instead of BOR.
5.6.4 VBAT BROWN-OUT RESET
(VBATBOR)
The VBAT BOR can be enabled/disabled using the
VBTBOR bit in the Configuration register (CON-
FIG7L<2>). If the VBTBOR enable bit is cleared, the
VBATBOR is always disabled and there will be no indica-
tion of a VBAT BOR. If the VBTBOR bit is set, the VBAT
POR will reset the device when the battery voltage
drops below VVBATBOR. After power is restored to the
VBAT pin, the device exits Reset and returns to VBAT
mode. The device remains in VBAT mode until power
returns to the VDD pin. For more information on using
the VBAT feature, refer to Section 4.5 “Vbat Mode”.
5.6.5 DEEP SLEEP BROWN-OUT RESET
(DSBOR)
The PIC18F97J94 has its dedicated BOR for Deep
Sleep mode (DSBOR). It is enabled through the
DSBOREN (CONFIG7L<3>) Configuration bit. When
the device enters Deep Sleep mode and receives a
DSBOR event, the device will not wake-up and will
remain in Deep Sleep mode. When a valid wake-up
event occurs and causes the device to exit Deep Sleep
mode, software can determine if a DSBOR event
occurred during Deep Sleep mode by reading the
DSBOR (DSCONL<1>) Status bit.
5.7 RESET Instruction
Whenever the RESET instruction is executed, the
device asserts SYSRST. This Reset state does not re-
initialize the clock. The clock source that is in effect
prior to the RESET instruction remains in effect. Config-
uration settings are updated and the SYSRST is
released at the next instruction cycle. A noise filter in
the MCLR Reset path detects and ignores small
pulses. The RI bit (RCON<4>) is cleared when a
RESET instruction is executed. Software must set this
bit to initialize the flag.
5.8 Stack Underflow/Overflow Reset
A Reset can be enabled on stack error conditions by
setting the STVREN (CONFIG1L<5>) Configuration
bit. See Section 6.1.4.4 “Stack Full and Underflow
Resets”section for additional information.
Note: Brown-out Reset (BOR) has been pro-
vided to support legacy devices that can
disable their internal regulator. The
PIC18F97J94 family’s regulator is always
enabled. Therefore, it’s recommended
that new designs use VDDBOR to detect
Brown-out conditions.

PIC18F97J94 FAMILY
5.9 Device Reset Timers
PIC18F97J94 family devices incorporate three sepa-
rate 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 executed. These
timers are:
Power-up Timer (PWRT)
Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST)
PLL Lock Time-out
5.9.1 POWER-UP TIMER (PWRT)
The Power-up Timer (PWRT) of the PIC18F97J94 fam-
ily devices is a counter which uses the INTOSC source
as the clock input. While the PWRT is counting, the
device is held in Reset. The power-up time delay
depends on the INTOSC clock and varies slightly from
chip-to-chip due to temperature and process variation.
See the TPWRT specification for details. The PWRT is
always enabled and active after Brown-out and Power-
on Reset events.
5.9.2 OSCILLATOR START-UP TIMER
(OST)
The Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) provides a
1024 oscillator cycle (from OSC1 input) delay after the
PWRT delay is over. This ensures that the crystal
oscillator or resonator has started and stabilized.
The OST time-out is invoked only for LP, MS, HS and
HSPLL modes, and only on Power-on Reset or on exit
from most power-managed modes.
5.9.3 PLL LOCK TIME-OUT
The PLL is enabled by programming FOSC<2:0> = 011
(CONFIG2L<2:0>. With the PLL enabled, the time-out
sequence, following a Power-on Reset, is slightly differ-
ent 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 (TRC) follows the oscillator start-up time-out.
5.9.4 RESET STATE OF REGISTERS
Most registers are unaffected by a Reset. Their status
is unknown on a Power-on Reset and unchanged by all
other Resets. The other registers are forced to a “Reset
state” 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 oper-
ation. Status bits from the RCONx registers are set or
cleared differently in different Reset situations, as
indicated in Ta b l e 5 - 2 . These bits are used in software
to determine the nature of the Reset.
Table 5-2 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.

Legend: u = unchanged; x = unknown; - = unimplemented bit, read as ‘0’; q = value depends on condition.
Shaded cells indicate that conditions do not apply for the designated device.
Note 1: When the wake-up is due to an interrupt and the GIEL or GIEH bit is set, the TOSU, TOSH and TOSL are
updated with the current value of the PC. The STKPTR is modified to point to the next location in the
hardware stack.
2: When the wake-up is due to an interrupt and the GIEL or GIEH bit is set, the PC is loaded with the
interrupt vector (0008h or 0018h).
3: One or more bits in the INTCONx or PIRx registers will be affected (to cause wake-up).
4: See Table 5-2 for Reset value for specific condition.
5: Bits 7,6 are unimplemented on 64 and 80-pin devices.
6: If the VBAT is always powered, the DSGPx register values will remain unchanged after the first POR.

Shaded cells indicate that conditions do not apply for the designated device.
Note 1: When the wake-up is due to an interrupt and the GIEL or GIEH bit is set, the TOSU, TOSH and TOSL are
updated with the current value of the PC. The STKPTR is modified to point to the next location in the
hardware stack.
2: When the wake-up is due to an interrupt and the GIEL or GIEH bit is set, the PC is loaded with the
interrupt vector (0008h or 0018h).
3: One or more bits in the INTCONx or PIRx registers will be affected (to cause wake-up).
4: See Table 5-2 for Reset value for specific condition.
5: Bits 7,6 are unimplemented on 64 and 80-pin devices.
6: If the VBAT is always powered, the DSGPx register values will remain unchanged after the first POR.

Legend: u = unchanged; x = unknown; - = unimplemented bit, read as ‘0’; q = value depends on condition.
Shaded cells indicate that conditions do not apply for the designated device.
Note 1: When the wake-up is due to an interrupt and the GIEL or GIEH bit is set, the TOSU, TOSH and TOSL are
updated with the current value of the PC. The STKPTR is modified to point to the next location in the
hardware stack.
2: When the wake-up is due to an interrupt and the GIEL or GIEH bit is set, the PC is loaded with the
interrupt vector (0008h or 0018h).
3: One or more bits in the INTCONx or PIRx registers will be affected (to cause wake-up).
4: See Table 5-2 for Reset value for specific condition.
5: Bits 7,6 are unimplemented on 64 and 80-pin devices.
6: If the VBAT is always powered, the DSGPx register values will remain unchanged after the first POR.

6.0 MEMORY ORGANIZATION
PIC18FXXJ94 devices have these types of memory:
Program Memory
Data RAM
As Harvard architecture devices, the data and program
memories use separate buses. This enables
concurrent access of the two memory spaces.
Additional detailed information on the operation of the
Flash program memory is provided in Section 7.0
“Flash Program Memory”.

6.1 Program Memory Organization
PIC18 microcontrollers implement a 21-bit Program
Counter that is capable of addressing a 2-Mbyte
program memory space. Accessing a location between
the upper boundary of the physically implemented
memory and the 2-Mbyte address will return all ‘0’s (a
NOP instruction).
The entire PIC18FXXJ94 offers a range of on-chip
Flash program memory sizes, from 32 Kbytes (up to
16,384 single-word instructions) to 128 Kbytes (65,536
single-word instructions).
PIC18F65J94, PIC18F85J94 and PIC18F95J94 –
32 Kbytes of Flash memory, storing up to
16,384 single-word instructions
PIC18F66J94, PIC18F86J94 and PIC18F96J94 –
64 Kbytes of Flash memory, storing up to
32,768 single-word instructions
PIC18F67J94, PIC18F87J94 and PIC18F97J94 –
128 Kbytes of Flash memory, storing up to
65,536 single-word instructions
The program memory maps for individual family
members are shown in Figure 6-1.
6.1.1 HARD MEMORY VECTORS
All PIC18 devices have a total of three hard-coded
return vectors in their program memory space. The
Reset vector address is the default value to which the
Program Counter returns on all device Resets; it is
located at 0000h.
PIC18 devices also have two interrupt vector
addresses for handling high-priority and low-priority
interrupts. The high-priority interrupt vector is located at
0008h and the low-priority interrupt vector is at 0018h.
The locations of these vectors are shown, in relation to
the program memory map, in Figure 6-2.
6.1.2 FLASH CONFIGURATION WORDS
Because PIC18FXXJ94 devices do not have persistent
configuration memory, the top eight words of on-chip
program memory are reserved for configuration informa-
tion. On Reset, the configuration information is copied
into the Configuration registers.
The Configuration Words are stored in their program
memory location in numerical order, starting with the
lower byte of CONFIG1 at the lowest address and end-
ing with the upper byte of CONFIG8. The actual
addresses of the Flash Configuration Word for devices
in the PIC18FXXJ94 are shown in Ta b l e 6 - 1 .
Their location in the memory map is shown with the
other memory vectors in Figure 6-2. Additional details
on the device Configuration Words are provided in
Section 28.1 “Configuration Bits”.

PIC18F97J94 FAMILY
6.1.3 PROGRAM COUNTER
The Program Counter (PC) specifies the address of the
instruction to fetch for execution. The PC is 21 bits wide
and contained in three separate 8-bit registers.
The low byte, known as the PCL register, is both
readable and writable. The high byte, or PCH register,
contains the PC<15:8> bits and is not directly readable
or writable. Updates to the PCH register are performed
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 transferred to PCLATH and PCLATU by an
operation that reads PCL. This is useful for computed
offsets to the PC (see Section 6.1.6.1 “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 of ‘0’. The PC increments by two 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.
6.1.4 RETURN ADDRESS STACK
The return address stack enables execution of any
combination of up to 31 program calls and interrupts.
The PC is pushed onto the stack when a CALL or
RCALL instruction is executed or an interrupt is
Acknowledged. The PC value is pulled off the stack on
a RETURN, RETLW or a RETFIE instruction. The value
also is pulled off the stack on ADDULNK and SUBULNK
instructions, if the extended instruction set is enabled.
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 space. The Stack Pointer
is readable and writable and the address on the top of
the stack is readable and writable through the Top-of-
Stack Special Function Registers. Data can also be
pushed to, or popped from, the stack using these
registers.
A CALL type instruction causes a push onto the stack.
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 of ‘00000’; this
is only a Reset value. Status bits indicate if the stack is
full, has overflowed or has underflowed.
6.1.4.1 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, holds the contents of the stack loca-
tion pointed to by the STKPTR register (Figure 6-3).
This
allows users to implement a software stack, if neces-
sary. After a CALL, RCALL or interrupt (or ADDULNK and
SUBULNK instructions, if the extended instruction set is
enabled), the software can read the pushed value by
reading the TOSU:TOSH:TOSL registers. These val-
ues 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.
While accessing the stack, users must disable the
Global Interrupt Enable bits to prevent inadvertent
stack corruption.

6.1.4.2 Return Stack Pointer (STKPTR)
The STKPTR register (Register 6-1) contains the Stack
Pointer value, the STKFUL (Stack Full) Status bit and
the STKUNF (Stack Underflow) Status bits. The 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.
After the PC is pushed onto the stack, 31 times (without
popping any values off the stack), the STKFUL bit is
set. The STKFUL bit is cleared by software or by a
POR.
What happens when the stack becomes full depends
on the state of the STVREN (Stack Overflow Reset
Enable) Configuration bit. (For a description of the
device Configuration bits, see Section 28.1 “Configu-
ration 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 cleared, the STKFUL bit will be set on the
31st push and the Stack Pointer will increment to 31.
Any additional pushes will not overwrite the 31st push
and the STKPTR will remain at 31.
When the stack has been popped enough times to
unload the stack, the next pop will return a value of zero
to the PC and set 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.
6.1.4.3 PUSH and POP Instructions
Since the Top-of-Stack is readable and writable, the
ability to push values onto the stack and pull values off
the stack, without disturbing normal program execu-
tion, 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, TOSH and TOSL can be modified to place data
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
decrementing 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.

PIC18F97J94 FAMILY
6.1.4.4 Stack Full and Underflow Resets
Device Resets on stack overflow and stack underflow
conditions are enabled by setting the STVREN bit
(CONFIG1L<5>). When STVREN is set, a full or under-
flow condition 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 user software or a Power-on Reset.
6.1.5 FAST REGISTER STACK
A Fast Register Stack is provided for the STATUS,
WREG and BSR registers to provide a “fast return”
option for interrupts. This stack 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 interrupt sources
will push values into the Stack registers. The values in
the registers are then loaded back into the working
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 in software during a low-priority interrupt.
If interrupt priority is not used, all interrupts may use the
Fast Register Stack for returns from interrupt. If no
interrupts are used, the Fast Register Stack can be
used 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
instruction 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 6-1 shows a source code example that uses
the Fast Register Stack during a subroutine call and
return.
EXAMPLE 6-1: FAST REGISTER STACK
CODE EXAMPLE
6.1.6 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 implemented in two ways:
Computed GOTO
Table Reads
6.1.6.1 Computed GOTO
A computed GOTO is accomplished by adding an offset
to the Program Counter. An example is shown in
Example 6-2.
A look-up table can be formed with an ADDWF PCL
instruction and a group of RETLW nn instructions. The
W register is loaded with an offset into the table before
executing a call to that table. The first instruction 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 multiples of two (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 6-2: COMPUTED GOTO USING
AN OFFSET VALUE
6.1.6.2 Table Reads
A better method of storing data in program memory
allows two bytes of data to be stored in each instruction
location.
Look-up table data may be stored, two bytes per
program word, while programming. The Table Pointer
(TBLPTR) specifies the byte address and the Table
Latch (TABLAT) contains the data that is read from the
program memory. Data is transferred from program
memory one byte at a time.
The table read operation is discussed further in
Section 7.1 “Table Reads and Table Writes”.

6.2 PIC18 Instruction Cycle
6.2.1 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). Internally, the Program Counter
is incremented on every Q1, with the instruction
fetched from the program memory and latched into the
Instruction Register (IR) during Q4.
The instruction is decoded and executed during the
following Q1 through Q4. The clocks and instruction
execution flow are shown in Figure 6-4.
6.2.2 INSTRUCTION FLOW/PIPELINING
An “Instruction Cycle” consists of four Q cycles, Q1
through Q4. The instruction fetch and execute are pipe-
lined 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 (such as GOTO) causes the Program
Counter to change, two cycles are required to complete
the instruction. (See Example 6-3.)
A fetch cycle begins with the Program Counter (PC)
incrementing in Q1.
In the execution cycle, the fetched instruction is latched
into the Instruction Register (IR) in cycle Q1. This
instruction is then decoded and executed during the
Q2, Q3 and Q4 cycles. Data memory is read during Q2
(operand read) and written during Q4 (destination
write).

6.2.3 INSTRUCTIONS IN PROGRAM
MEMORY
The program memory is addressed in bytes. Instruc-
tions are stored as two or four bytes in program
memory. The Least Significant Byte of an instruction
word is always stored in a program memory location
with an even address (LSB = 0). To maintain alignment
with instruction boundaries, the PC increments in steps
of two and the LSB will always read ‘0’ (see
Section 6.1.3 “Program Counter”).
Figure 6-5 shows an example of how instruction words
are stored in the program memory.
The CALL and GOTO instructions have the absolute
program memory address embedded into the instruc-
tion. 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 6-5 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 manner. The
offset value stored in a branch instruction represents the
number of single-word instructions that the PC will be
offset by. For more details on the instruction set, see
Section 29.0 “Instruction Set Summary”.
FIGURE 6-5: INSTRUCTIONS IN PROGRAM MEMORY
6.2.4 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 instructions always has
1111’ as its four Most Significant bits. The other 12 bits
are literal data, usually a data memory address.
The use of ‘1111’ 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
preceded by a conditional instruction that changes the
PC. Example 6-4 shows how this works.

The data memory in PIC18 devices is implemented as
static RAM. Each register in the data memory has a 12-
bit address, allowing up to 4,096 bytes of data memory.
The memory space is divided into as many as 16 banks
that contain 256 bytes each. PIC18FXXJ94 devices
implement all 16 banks, for a total of 4 Kbytes.
Figure 6-6 and Figure 6-7 show the data memory
organization for the 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 peripheral functions, while GPRs are used for data
storage and scratchpad operations in the user’s
application. Any read of an unimplemented location 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
section.
To ensure that commonly used registers (select SFRs
and select GPRs) can be accessed in a single cycle,
PIC18 devices implement an Access Bank. This is a
256-byte memory space that provides fast access to
select SFRs and the lower portion of GPR Bank 0 with-
out using the Bank Select Register. For details on the
Access RAM, see Section 6.3.2 “Access Bank”.
6.3.1 BANK SELECT REGISTER
Large areas of data memory require an efficient
addressing scheme to make it possible for rapid access
to any address. Ideally, this means that an entire
address does not need to be provided 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 four-bit Bank Pointer.
Most instructions in the PIC18 instruction set make use
of the Bank Pointer, known as the Bank Select Register
(BSR). This SFR holds the four Most Significant bits of
a location’s address. The instruction itself includes the
eight Least Significant bits. Only the four lower bits of
the BSR are implemented (BSR<3:0>). The upper four
bits are unused, always read as ‘0’ and cannot be
written to. The BSR can be loaded directly by using the
MOVLB instruction.
The value of the BSR indicates the bank in data
memory. The eight bits in the instruction show the loca-
tion in the bank and can be thought of as an offset from
the bank’s lower boundary. The relationship between
the BSR’s value and the bank division in data memory
is shown in Figure 6-7.
Since up to 16 registers may share the same low-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
program data to an 8-bit address of F9h, while the BSR
is 0Fh, will end up resetting the Program Counter.
While any bank can be selected, only those banks 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 map in
Figure 6-6 indicates which banks are implemented.
In the core PIC18 instruction set, only the MOVFF
instruction fully specifies the 12-bit address of the
source and target registers. When this instruction
executes, it ignores the BSR completely. All other
instructions include only the low-order address as an
operand and must use either the BSR or the Access
Bank to locate their target registers.
Note: The operation of some aspects of data
memory are changed when the PIC18
extended instruction set is enabled. See
Section 6.6 “Data Memory and the
Extended Instruction Set” for more
information.

FIGURE 6-7: USE OF THE BANK SELECT REGISTER (DIRECT ADDRESSING)
6.3.2 ACCESS BANK
While the use of the BSR, with an embedded 8-bit
address, allows users to address the entire range of data
memory, it also means that the user must ensure that the
correct bank is selected. If not, 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 streamline access for the most commonly used data
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 Access Bank consists of the first 96 bytes of
memory (00h-5Fh) in Bank 0 and the last 160 bytes of
memory (60h-FFh) in Bank 15. The lower half is known
as the “Access RAM” and is composed of GPRs. The
upper half is 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 (Figure 6-6).
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’, the instruction
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. In that case, 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, this means that users can evaluate and operate
on SFRs more efficiently. The Access RAM below 60h
is a good place for data 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 discussed in more detail
in Section 6.6.3 “Mapping the Access Bank in
Indexed Literal Offset Mode”.
6.3.3 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 Resets.
Note 1: The Access RAM bit of the instruction can be used to force an override of the selected bank (BSR<3:0>)
to the registers of the Access Bank.
2: The MOVFF instruction embeds the entire 12-bit address in the instruction.

6.3.4 SPECIAL FUNCTION REGISTERS
The Special Function Registers (SFRs) are registers
used by the CPU and peripheral modules for controlling
the desired operation of the device. These registers are
implemented as static RAM. SFRs start at the top of
data memory (FFFh) and extend downward to occupy
all of Bank 15 (F00h to FFFh), Bank 14 (E00h to EFFh)
and part of Bank 13 (DFAh to DFFh).
A list of these registers is given in Table 6-2.
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 the peripheral
features are described in the chapter for that peripheral.
The SFRs are typically distributed among the
peripherals whose functions they control. Unused SFR
locations are unimplemented and read as ‘0’s.

6.3.5 STATUS REGISTER
The STATUS register, shown in Register 6-2, contains
the arithmetic status of the ALU. The STATUS register
can be the operand for any instruction, as with any
other register. If the STATUS register is the destination
for an instruction that affects the Z, DC, C, OV or N bits,
the write to these five bits is disabled.
These bits are set or cleared according to the device
logic. Therefore, the result of an instruction with the
STATUS register as destination may be different than
intended. For example, CLRF STATUS will set the Z bit
but leave the other bits unchanged. The STATUS
register then reads back as ‘000u u1uu’.
It is recommended, therefore, that only BCF, BSF,
SWAPF, MOVFF and MOVWF instructions be used to
alter the STATUS register because these instructions
do not affect the Z, C, DC, OV or N bits in the STATUS
register.
For other instructions not affecting any Status bits, see
the instruction set summaries in Table 29-2 and
Table 29-3.
Note: The C and DC bits operate, in subtraction,
as borrow and digit borrow bits, respectively.

6.4 Data Addressing Modes
While the program memory can be addressed in only
one way, through the Program Counter, information in
the data memory space can be addressed in several
ways. For most instructions, the addressing mode is
fixed. Other instructions may use up to three modes,
depending on which operands are used and whether 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). For details on
this mode’s operation, see Section 6.6.1 “Indexed
Addressing with Literal Offset”.
6.4.1 INHERENT AND LITERAL
ADDRESSING
Many PIC18 control instructions do not need any
argument at all. They either perform an operation that
globally affects the device or they operate implicitly on
one register. This addressing mode is known as Inherent
Addressing. Examples of this mode include SLEEP,
RESET and DAW.
Other instructions work in a similar way, but require an
additional explicit argument in the opcode. This method
is known as the Literal Addressing mode because the
instructions require some literal value as an argument.
Examples of this 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.
6.4.2 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 core PIC18 instruction set, bit-oriented and byte-
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 the instruction’s data
source as either a register address in one of the banks
of data RAM (see Section 6.3.3 “General Purpose
Register File”) or a location in the Access Bank (see
Section 6.3.2 “Access Bank”).
The Access RAM bit, ‘a’, determines how the address
is interpreted. When ‘a’ is ‘1’, the contents of the BSR
(Section 6.3.1 “Bank Select Register”) are used with
the address to determine the complete 12-bit address
of the register. When ‘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 destination of the operation’s results is determined
by the destination bit, ‘d’. When ‘d’ is ‘1’, the results are
stored back in the source register, overwriting its origi-
nal contents. When ‘d’ is ‘0, the results are stored in
the W register. Instructions without the ‘d’ argument
have a destination that is implicit in the instruction,
either the target register being operated on or the W
register.
6.4.3 INDIRECT ADDRESSING
Indirect Addressing allows the user 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 locations to be read or written
to. Since the FSRs are themselves located in RAM as
Special Function Registers, they can also be directly
manipulated under program control. This makes FSRs
very useful in implementing data structures such as
tables and arrays in data memory.
The registers for Indirect Addressing are also
implemented with Indirect File Operands (INDFs) that
permit automatic manipulation of the pointer value with
auto-incrementing, auto-decrementing or offsetting
with another value. This allows for efficient code using
loops, such as the example of clearing an entire RAM
bank in Example 6-5. It also enables users to perform
Indexed Addressing and other Stack Pointer
operations for program memory in data memory.

6.4.3.1 FSR Registers and the
INDF Operand
At the core of Indirect Addressing are three sets of
registers: FSR0, FSR1 and FSR2. Each represents a
pair of 8-bit registers: FSRnH and FSRnL. The four
upper bits of the FSRnH register are not used, so each
FSR pair holds a 12-bit value. This represents a value
that can address the entire range of the data memory
in a linear fashion. The FSR register pairs, then, serve
as pointers to data memory locations.
Indirect Addressing is accomplished with a set of Indi-
rect File Operands, INDF0 through INDF2. These can
be thought of as “virtual” registers. The operands are
mapped in the SFR space, but are not physically imple-
mented. 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 just a convenient way of using the pointer.
Because Indirect Addressing uses a full 12-bit address,
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.

6.4.3.2 FSR Registers and POSTINC,
POSTDEC, PREINC and PLUSW
In addition to the INDF operand, each FSR register pair
also has four additional indirect operands. Like INDF,
these are “virtual” registers that cannot be indirectly
read or written to. Accessing these registers actually
accesses the associated FSR register pair, but also
performs a specific action on its stored value.
These operands are:
POSTDEC – Accesses the FSR value, then
automatically decrements it by1’ afterwards
POSTINC – Accesses the FSR value, then
automatically increments it by1’ afterwards
PREINC – Increments the FSR value by ‘1’, then
uses it in the operation
PLUSW – Adds the signed value of the W register
(range of -127 to 128) to that of the FSR and uses
the new value in the operation
In this context, accessing an INDF register uses the
value in the FSR registers without changing them.
Similarly, accessing a PLUSW register gives the FSR
value, offset by the value in the W register, with neither
value actually changed in the operation. Accessing the
other virtual registers changes the value of the FSR
registers.
Operations on the FSRs with POSTDEC, POSTINC
and PREINC affect the entire register pair. Rollovers of
the FSRnL register, 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 (for example, Z, N and OV bits).
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.
6.4.3.3 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 the FSR0H:FSR0L
registers contain 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, using the virtual registers to write to
an FSR pair may not occur as planned. In these cases,
the value will be written to the FSR pair, but without any
incrementing or decrementing. Thus, writing to INDF2
or POSTDEC2 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, however, particularly if their
code uses Indirect Addressing.
Similarly, operations by Indirect Addressing are gener-
ally permitted on all other SFRs. Users should exercise
the appropriate caution, so that they do not inadvertently
change settings that might affect the operation of the
device.
6.5 Program Memory and the
Extended Instruction Set
The operation of program memory is unaffected by the
use of the extended instruction set.
Enabling the extended instruction set adds five
additional two-word commands to the existing PIC18
instruction set: ADDFSR, CALLW, MOVSF, MOVSS and
SUBFSR. These instructions are executed as described
in Section 6.2.4 “Two-Word Instructions”.

PIC18F97J94 FAMILY
6.6 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. Using the
Access Bank for many of the core PIC18 instructions
introduces a new addressing mode for the data memory
space. This mode also alters the behavior of Indirect
Addressing using FSR2 and its associated operands.
What does not change is just as important. 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 remains unchanged.
6.6.1 INDEXED ADDRESSING WITH
LITERAL OFFSET
Enabling the PIC18 extended instruction set changes
the behavior of Indirect Addressing using the FSR2
register pair and its associated file operands. Under the
proper conditions, instructions that use the Access
Bank – 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
addressing mode is known as Indexed Addressing with
Literal Offset or the Indexed Literal Offset mode.
When using the extended instruction set, this
addressing mode requires the following:
Use of the Access Bank (‘a’ = 0)
A file address argument that is less than or equal
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 Addressing) or as
an 8-bit address in the Access Bank. Instead, 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.
6.6.2 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. Instructions
that only use Inherent or Literal Addressing modes are
unaffected.
Additionally, byte-oriented and bit-oriented instructions
are not affected if they do not use the Access Bank
(Access RAM bit = 1), or include a file address 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 6-9.
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 29.2.1
“Extended Instruction Syntax”.

EXAMPLE INSTRUCTION: ADDWF, f, d, a (Opcode: 0010 01da ffff ffff)
When a = 0 and f 60h:
The instruction executes in
Direct Forced mode. ‘f’ is
interpreted as a location in the
Access RAM between 060h
and FFFh. This is the same as
locations, F60h to FFFh
(Bank 15), of data memory.
Locations below 060h are not
available in this addressing

When a = 0 and f5Fh:
The instruction executes in

two are added together to
obtain the address of the target
register for the instruction. The

6.6.3 MAPPING THE ACCESS BANK IN
INDEXED LITERAL OFFSET MODE
The use of Indexed Literal Offset Addressing mode
effectively changes how the lower part of Access RAM
(00h to 5Fh) is mapped. Rather than containing just the
contents of the bottom part of Bank 0, this mode maps
the contents from Bank 0 and a user-defined “window
that can be located anywhere in the data memory
space.
The value of FSR2 establishes the lower boundary of
the addresses mapped into the window, while the
upper boundary is defined by FSR2 plus 95 (5Fh).
Addresses in the Access RAM above 5Fh are mapped
as previously described. (See Section 6.3.2 “Access
Bank”.) An example of Access Bank remapping in this
addressing mode is shown in Figure 6-10.
Remapping the Access Bank applies only to operations
using the Indexed Literal Offset mode. Operations that
use the BSR (Access RAM bit = 1) will continue to use
Direct Addressing as before. Any Indirect or Indexed
Addressing operation that explicitly uses any of the
indirect file operands (including FSR2) will continue to
operate as standard Indirect Addressing. Any instruc-
tion that uses the Access Bank, but includes a register
address of greater than 05Fh, will use Direct
Addressing and the normal Access Bank map.
6.6.4 BSR IN INDEXED LITERAL
OFFSET MODE
Although the Access Bank is remapped when the
extended instruction set is enabled, the operation of the
BSR remains unchanged. Direct Addressing, using the
BSR to select the data memory bank, operates in the
same manner as previously described.

7.0 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 on 1 byte at
a time. A write to program memory is executed on
blocks of 64 bytes at a time or 2 bytes at a time.
Program memory is erased in blocks of 512 bytes at a
time. A bulk erase operation may not be issued from
user code.
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.
7.1 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).
Table read operations retrieve data from program
memory and place it into the data RAM space.
Figure 7-1 shows the operation of a table read with
program memory and data RAM.
Table write operations store data from the data memory
space into holding registers in program memory. The
procedure to write the contents of the holding registers
into program memory is detailed in Section 7.5 “Writing
to Flash Program Memory”. Figure 7-2 shows the
operation of a table write with program memory and data
RAM.
Table operations work with byte entities. A table block
containing data, rather than program instructions, is not
required to be word-aligned. Therefore, a table block can
start 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.

7.2 Control Registers
Several control registers are used in conjunction with
the TBLRD and TBLWT instructions. These include:
EECON1 register
EECON2 register
TABLAT register
TBLPTR registers
7.2.1 EECON1 AND EECON2 REGISTERS
The EECON1 register (Register 7-1) is the control
register for memory accesses. 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 WWPROG bit, when set, will allow programming
two bytes per word on the execution of the WR
command. If this bit is cleared, the WR command will
result in programming on a block of 64 bytes.
The FREE bit, when set, will allow a program memory
erase operation. When FREE is set, the erase
operation is initiated on the next WR command. When
FREE is clear, only writes are enabled.
The WREN bit, when set, will allow a write operation.
On power-up, the WREN bit is clear. The WRERR bit is
set in hardware when the WR bit is set, and cleared
when the internal programming timer expires and the
write operation is complete.

7.2.2 TABLE LATCH REGISTER (TABLAT)
The Table Latch (TABLAT) is an 8-bit register mapped
into the Special Function Register (SFR) space. The
Table Latch register is used to hold 8-bit data during
data transfers between program memory and data
RAM.
7.2.3 TABLE POINTER REGISTER
(TBLPTR)
The Table Pointer (TBLPTR) register addresses a byte
within the program memory. The TBLPTR is comprised
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
program memory space. The 22nd bit allows access to
the Device ID, the User ID and the Configuration bits.
The Table Pointer register, TBLPTR, is used by the
TBLRD and TBLWT instructions. These instructions can
update the TBLPTR in one of four ways, based on the
table operation. These operations are shown in
Table 7-1 and only affect the low-order 21 bits.
7.2.4 TABLE POINTER BOUNDARIES
TBLPTR is used in reads, writes and erases of the
Flash program memory.
When a TBLRD is executed, all 22 bits of the TBLPTR
determine which byte is read from program memory
into TABLAT.
When a TBLWT is executed, the seven Least Significant
bits (LSbs) of the Table Pointer register
(TBLPTR<6:0>) determine which of the 64 program
memory holding registers is written to. When the timed
write to program memory begins (via the WR bit), the
12 Most Significant bits (MSbs) of the TBLPTR
(TBLPTR<21:10>) determine which program memory
block of 1024 bytes is written to. For more detail, see
Section 7.5 “Writing to Flash Program Memory”.
When an erase of program memory is executed, the
12 MSbs of the Table Pointer register point to the
1024-byte block that will be erased. The LSbs are
ignored.
Figure 7-3 describes the relevant boundaries of the
TBLPTR based on Flash program memory operations.

7.3 Reading the Flash Program
Memory
The TBLRD instruction is used to retrieve data from
program memory and places it into data RAM. Table
reads from program memory are performed one byte at
a time.
The TBLPTR points to a byte address in program
space. Executing TBLRD places the byte pointed to into
TABLAT. In addition, the TBLPTR can be modified
automatically for the next table read operation.
The internal program memory is typically organized by
words. The Least Significant bit of the address selects
between the high and low bytes of the word.
Figure 7-4 shows the interface between the internal
program memory and the TABLAT.

7.4 Erasing Flash Program Memory
The minimum erase block is 256 words or 512 bytes.
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 512 bytes of program memory is
erased. The Most Significant 12 bits of the
TBLPTR<21:10> point to the block being erased;
TBLPTR<9:0> are ignored.
The EECON1 register commands the erase operation.
The WREN bit must be set to enable write operations.
The FREE bit is set to select an erase operation. For
protection, the write initiate sequence for EECON2
must be used.
A long write is necessary for erasing the internal Flash.
Instruction execution is halted while in a long write
cycle. The long write will be terminated by the internal
programming timer.
7.4.1 FLASH PROGRAM MEMORY
ERASE SEQUENCE
The sequence of events for erasing a block of internal
program memory location is:
1. Load Table Pointer register with address of row
being erased.
2. Set the WREN and FREE bits (EECON1<2,4>)
to enable the erase operation.
3. Disable interrupts.
4. Write 55h to EECON2.
5. Write 0AAh to EECON2.
6. Set the WR bit; this will begin the erase cycle.
7. The CPU will stall for the duration of the erase
for TIE (see Parameter D133B).
8. Re-enable interrupts.

7.5 Writing to Flash Program Memory
The programming block is 32 words or 64 bytes.
Programming one word or 2 bytes at a time is also sup-
ported.
Table writes are used internally to load the holding
registers needed to program the Flash memory. There
are 64 holding registers used by the table writes for
programming.
Since the Table Latch (TABLAT) is only a single byte, the
TBLWT instruction may need to be executed 64 times for
each programming operation (if WWPROG = 0). All of
the table write operations will essentially be short writes
because only the holding registers are written. At the
end of updating the 64 holding registers, the EECON1
register must be written to in order to start the
programming operation with a long write.
The long write is necessary for programming the internal
Flash. Instruction execution is halted while in a long write
cycle. The long write will be terminated by the internal
programming timer.
The 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 7-5: TABLE WRITES TO FLASH PROGRAM MEMORY
7.5.1 FLASH PROGRAM MEMORY WRITE
SEQUENCE
The sequence of events for programming an internal
program memory location should be:
1. Read the 512 bytes into RAM.
2. Update the data values in RAM as necessary.
3. Load the Table Pointer register with the address
being erased.
4. Execute the erase procedure.
5. Load the Table Pointer register with the address
of the first byte being written, minus 1.
6. Write the 64 bytes into the holding registers with
auto-pre-increment.
7. Set the WREN bit (EECON1<2>) to enable byte
writes.
8. Disable the interrupts.
9. Write 55h to EECON2.
10. Write 0xAAh to EECON2.
11. Set the WR bit. This will begin the write cycle.
The CPU will stall for duration of the write for TIW
(see Parameter D133A).
12. Re-enable the interrupts.
13. Verify the memory (table read).
An example of the required code is shown in
Example 7-3 on the following Page 153.
Note 1: Unlike previous PIC® MCUs, devices of
the PIC18FXXJ94 do not reset the hold-
ing registers after a write occurs. The
holding registers must be cleared or
overwritten before a programming
sequence.
2: To maintain the endurance of the
program memory cells, each Flash byte
should not be programmed more than
once between erase operations. Before
attempting to modify the contents of the
target cell a second time, an erase of the
target page, or a bulk erase of the entire
memory, must be performed.

7.5.2 FLASH PROGRAM MEMORY WRITE
SEQUENCE (WORD PROGRAMMING)
The PIC18FXXJ94 of devices has a feature that allows
programming a single word (two bytes). This feature is
enabled when the WWPROG bit is set. If the memory
location is already erased, the following sequence is
required to enable this feature:
1. Load the Table Pointer register with the address
of the data to be written. (It must be an even
address.)
2. Write the 2 bytes into the holding registers by
performing table writes. (Do not post-increment
on the second table write).
3. Set the WREN bit (EECON1<2>) to enable
writes and the WWPROG bit (EECON1<5>) to
select Word Write mode.
4. Disable interrupts.
5. Write 55h to EECON2.
6. Write 0AAh to EECON2.
7. Set the WR bit; this will begin the write cycle.
8. The CPU will stall for the duration of the write for
TIW (see Parameter D133A).
9. Re-enable interrupts.

7.5.3 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.
7.5.4 UNEXPECTED TERMINATION OF
WRITE OPERATION
If a write is terminated by an unplanned event, such as
loss of power or an unexpected Reset, the memory
location just programmed should be verified and repro-
grammed if needed. If the write operation is interrupted
by a MCLR Reset, or a WDT time-out Reset during nor-
mal operation, the user can check the WRERR bit and
rewrite the location(s) as needed

8.0 EXTERNAL MEMORY BUS
The External Memory Bus (EMB) allows the device to
access external memory devices (such as Flash,
EPROM or SRAM) as program or data memory. It
supports both 8 and 16-Bit Data Width modes, and
three address widths of up to 20 bits.
The bus is implemented with 28 pins, multiplexed
across four I/O ports. Three ports (PORTD, PORTE
and PORTH) are multiplexed with the address/data bus
for a total of 20 available lines, while PORTJ is
multiplexed with the bus control signals.
A list of the pins and their functions is provided in

The EBDIS bit (MEMCON<7>) controls the operation
of the bus and related port functions. Clearing EBDIS
enables the interface and disables the I/O functions of
the ports, as well as any other functions multiplexed to
those pins. Setting the bit enables the I/O ports and
other functions, but allows the interface to override
everything else on the pins when an external memory
operation is required. By default, the external bus is
always enabled and disables all other I/O.
The operation of the EBDIS bit is also influenced by the
program memory mode being used. This is discussed
in more detail in Section 8.5 “Program Memory
Modes and the External Memory Bus”.
The WAITx bits allow for the addition of Wait states to
external memory operations. The use of these bits is
discussed in Section 8.3 “Wait States”.
The WMx bits select the particular operating mode
used when the bus is operating in 16-Bit Data Width
mode. This is discussed in more detail in Section 8.6
“16-Bit Data Width Modes”. These bits have no effect
when an 8-Bit Data Width mode is selected.

8.2 Address and Data Width
The PIC18FXXJ94 of devices can be independently
configured for different address and data widths on the
same memory bus. Both address and data width are
set by Configuration bits in the CONFIG5L register. As
Configuration bits, this means that these options can
only be configured by programming the device and are
not controllable in software.
The BW bit selects an 8-bit or 16-bit data bus width.
Setting this bit (default) selects a data width of 16 bits.
The ABW<1:0> bits determine both the program mem-
ory operating mode and the address bus width. The
available options are 20-bit, 16-bit and 12-bit, as well
as Microcontroller mode (external bus disabled).
Selecting a 16-bit or 12-bit width makes a correspond-
ing number of high-order lines available for I/O
functions. These pins are no longer affected by the
setting of the EBDIS bit. For example, selecting a 16-
Bit Addressing mode (ABW<1:0> = 01) disables
A<19:16> and allows PORTH<3:0> to function without
interruptions from the bus. Using the smaller address
widths allows users to tailor the memory bus to the size
of the external memory space for a particular design
while freeing up pins for dedicated I/O operation.
Because the ABWx bits have the effect of disabling
pins for memory bus operations, it is important to
always select an address width at least equal to the
data width. If a 12-bit address width is used with a 16-
bit data width, the upper four bits of data will not be
available on the bus.
All combinations of address and data widths require
multiplexing of address and data information on the
same lines. The address and data multiplexing, as well
as I/O ports made available by the use of smaller
address widths, are summarized in Ta bl e 8 - 2 .
8.2.1 ADDRESS SHIFTING ON THE
EXTERNAL BUS
By default, the address presented on the external bus
is the value of the PC. In practical terms, this means
that addresses in the external memory device, below
the top of on-chip memory, are unavailable to the
microcontroller. To access these physical locations, the
glue logic between the microcontroller and the external
memory must somehow translate addresses.
To simplify the interface, the external bus offers an
extension of Extended Microcontroller mode that
automatically performs address shifting. This feature is
controlled by the EASHFT Configuration bit. Setting
this bit offsets addresses on the bus by the size of the
microcontroller’s on-chip program memory and sets
the bottom address at 0000h. This allows the device to
use the entire range of physical addresses of the
external memory.
8.2.2 21-BIT ADDRESSING
As an extension of 20-bit address width operation, the
External Memory Bus can also fully address a 2-Mbyte
memory space. This is done by using the Bus Address
Bit 0 (BA0) control line as the Least Significant bit of the
address. The UB and LB control signals may also be
used with certain memory devices to select the upper
and lower bytes within a 16-bit wide data word.
This addressing mode is available in both 8-Bit and
certain 16-Bit Data Width modes. Additional details are
provided in Section 8.6.3 “16-Bit Byte Select Mode”
and Section 8.7 “8-Bit Data Width Mode”.

8.3 Wait States
While it may be assumed that external memory devices
will operate at the microcontroller clock rate, this is
often not the case. In fact, many devices require longer
times to write or retrieve data than the time allowed by
the execution of table read or table write operations.
To compensate for this, the External Memory Bus can
be configured to add a fixed delay to each table opera-
tion using the bus. Wait states are enabled by setting
the WAIT Configuration bit. When enabled, the amount
of delay is set by the WAIT<1:0> bits (MEMCON<5:4>).
The delay is based on multiples of microcontroller
instruction cycle time and is added following the
instruction cycle when the table operation is executed.
The range is from no delay to 3 TCY (default value).
8.4 Port Pin Weak Pull-ups
With the exception of the upper address lines,
A<19:16>, the pins associated with the External Mem-
ory Bus are equipped with weak pull-ups. The pull-ups
are controlled by the upper nibble of the PADCFG
register (PADCFG<7:4>). They are named RDPU,
REPU, RHPU and RJPU, and control pull-ups on
PORTD, PORTE, PORTH and PORTJ, respectively.
Setting one of these bits enables the corresponding
pull-ups for that port. All pull-ups are disabled by default
on all device Resets.
In Extended Microcontroller mode, the port pull-ups
can be useful in preserving the memory state on the
external bus while the bus is temporarily disabled
(EBDIS = 1).
8.5 Program Memory Modes and the
External Memory Bus
The PIC18FXXJ94 of devices is capable of operating in
one of two program memory modes, using combina-
tions of on-chip and external program memory. The
functions of the multiplexed port pins depend on the
program memory mode selected, as well as the setting
of the EBDIS bit.
In Microcontroller Mode, the bus is not active and the
pins have their port functions only. Writes to the
MEMCOM register are not permitted. The Reset value
of EBDIS (‘0’) is ignored and the ABWx pins behave as
I/O ports.
In Extended Microcontroller Mode, the external
program memory bus shares I/O port functions on the
pins. When the device is fetching or doing table read/
table write operations on the external program memory
space, the pins will have the external bus function.
If the device is fetching and accessing internal program
memory locations only, the EBDIS control bit will
change the pins from external memory to I/O port
functions. When EBDIS = 0, the pins function as the
external bus. When EBDIS = 1, the pins function as I/O
ports.
If the device fetches or accesses external memory
while EBDIS = 1, the pins will switch to the external
bus. If the EBDIS bit is set by a program executing from
external memory, the action of setting the bit will be
delayed until the program branches into the internal
memory. At that time, the pins will change from external
bus to I/O ports.
If the device is executing out of internal memory when
EBDIS = 0, the memory bus address/data and control
pins will not be active. They will go to a state where the
active address/data pins are tri-state; the CE, OE,
WRH, WRL, UB and LB signals are ‘1, and ALE and
BA0 are 0’. Note that only those pins associated with
the current address width are forced to tri-state; the
other pins continue to function as I/O. In the case of 16-
bit address width, for example, only AD<15:0>
(PORTD and PORTE) are affected; A<19:16>
(PORTH<3:0>) continue to function as I/O.
In all external memory modes, the bus takes priority
over any other peripherals that may share pins with it.
This includes the Parallel Master Port and serial
communication modules which would otherwise take
priority over the I/O port.
8.6 16-Bit Data Width Modes
In 16-Bit Data Width mode, the external memory
interface can be connected to external memories in
three different configurations:
16-Bit Byte Write
16-Bit Word Write
16-Bit Byte Select
The configuration to be used is determined by the
WM<1:0> bits in the MEMCON register
(MEMCON<1:0>). These three different configurations
allow the designer maximum flexibility in using both 8-
bit and 16-bit devices with 16-bit data.
For all 16-bit modes, the Address Latch Enable (ALE)
pin indicates that the address bits, AD<15:0>, are avail-
able on the external memory interface bus. Following
the address latch, the Output Enable (OE) signal will
enable both bytes of program memory at once to form
a 16-bit instruction word. The Chip Enable (CE signal)
is active at any time that the microcontroller accesses
external memory, whether reading or writing; it is
inactive (asserted high) whenever the device is in
Sleep mode.
In Byte Select mode, JEDEC® standard Flash memo-
ries will require BA0 for the byte address line and one
I/O line to select between Byte and Word mode. The
other 16-bit modes do not need BA0. JEDEC standard
static RAM memories will use the UB or LB signals for
byte selection.

8.6.1 16-BIT BYTE WRITE MODE
Figure 8-1 shows an example of 16-Bit Byte Write
mode for PIC18FXXJ94 devices. This mode is used for
two separate 8-bit memories connected for 16-bit oper-
ation. This generally includes basic EPROM and Flash
devices. It allows table writes to byte-wide external
memories.
During a TBLWT instruction cycle, the TABLAT data is
presented on the upper and lower bytes of the
AD<15:0> bus. The appropriate WRH or WRL control
line is strobed on the LSb of the TBLPTR.

8.6.2 16-BIT WORD WRITE MODE
Figure 8-2 shows an example of 16-Bit Word Write
mode for PIC18FXXJ94 devices. This mode is used for
word-wide memories, which includes some of the
EPROM and Flash-type memories. This mode allows
opcode fetches and table reads from all forms of 16-bit
memory, and table writes to any type of word-wide
external memories. This method makes a distinction
between TBLWT cycles to even or odd addresses.
During a TBLWT cycle to an even address
(TBLPTR<0> = 0), the TABLAT data is transferred to a
holding latch and the external address data bus is tri-
stated for the data portion of the bus cycle. No write sig-
nals are activated.
During a TBLWT cycle to an odd address
(TBLPTR<0> = 1), the TABLAT data is presented on
the upper byte of the AD<15:0> bus. The contents of
the holding latch are presented on the lower byte of the
AD<15:0> bus.
The WRH signal is strobed for each write cycle; the
WRL pin is unused. The signal on the BA0 pin indicates
the LSb of the TBLPTR, but it is left unconnected.
Instead, the UB and LB signals are active to select both
bytes. The obvious limitation to this method is that the
table write must be done in pairs on a specific word
boundary to correctly write a word location.

8.6.3 16-BIT BYTE SELECT MODE
Figure 8-3 shows an example of 16-Bit Byte Select
mode. This mode allows table write operations to word-
wide external memories with byte selection capability.
This generally includes both word-wide Flash and
SRAM devices.
During a TBLWT cycle, the TABLAT data is presented
on the upper and lower byte of the AD<15:0> bus. The
WRH signal is strobed for each write cycle; the WRL
pin is not used. The BA0 or UB/LB signals are used to
select the byte to be written, based on the Least
Significant bit of the TBLPTR register.
Flash and SRAM devices use different control signal
combinations to implement Byte Select mode. JEDEC
standard Flash memories require that a controller I/O
port pin be connected to the memory’s BYTE/WORD
pin to provide the select signal. They also use the BA0
signal from the controller as a byte address. JEDEC
standard static RAM memories, on the other hand, use
the UB or LB signals to select the byte.

8.7 8-Bit Data Width Mode
In 8-Bit Data Width mode, the External Memory Bus
operates only in Multiplexed mode; that is, data shares
the 8 Least Significant bits of the address bus.
Figure 8-6 shows an example of 8-Bit Multiplexed
mode for 100-pin devices. This mode is used for a
single, 8-bit memory, connected for 16-bit operation.
The instructions will be fetched as two 8-bit bytes on a
shared data/address bus. The two bytes are sequen-
tially fetched within one instruction cycle (TCY).
Therefore, the designer must choose external memory
devices, according to timing calculations based on 1/
2T
CY (2 times the instruction rate). For proper memory
speed selection, glue logic propagation delay times
must be considered, along with setup and hold times.
The Address Latch Enable (ALE) pin indicates that the
address bits, AD<15:0>, are available on the External
Memory Bus interface. The Output Enable (OE) signal
will enable one byte of program memory for a portion of
the instruction cycle, then BA0 will change and the
second byte will be enabled to form the 16-bit instruc-
tion word. The Least Significant bit of the address, BA0,
must be connected to the memory devices in this
mode. The Chip Enable (CE) signal is active at any
time that the microcontroller accesses external
memory, whether reading or writing. It is inactive
(asserted high) whenever the device is in Sleep mode.
This generally includes basic EPROM and Flash
devices. It allows table writes to byte-wide external
memories.
During a TBLWT instruction cycle, the TABLAT data is
presented on the upper and lower bytes of the
AD<15:0> bus. The appropriate level of the BA0 control
line is strobed on the LSb of the TBLPTR.

8.8 Operation in Power-Managed
Modes
In alternate, power-managed Run modes, the external
bus continues to operate normally. If a clock source
with a lower speed is selected, bus operations will run
at that speed. In these cases, excessive access times
for the external memory may result if Wait states have
been enabled and added to external memory opera-
tions. If operations in a lower power Run mode are
anticipated, users should provide in their applications
for adjusting memory access times at the lower clock
speeds.
In Sleep and Idle modes, the microcontroller core does
not need to access data; bus operations are sus-
pended. The state of the external bus is frozen, with the
address/data pins and most of the control pins holding
at the same state they were in when the mode was
invoked. The only potential changes are to the CE, LB
and UB pins, which are held at logic high.

9.0 8 x 8 HARDWARE MULTIPLIER
9.1 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 completed in a single instruction cycle. This has the
advantages of higher computational throughput and
reduced code size for multiplication algorithms and
allows PIC18 devices to be used in many applications
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 Ta bl e 9 - 1 .
9.2 Operation
Example 9-1 shows the instruction sequence for an 8 x 8
unsigned multiplication. Only one instruction is required
when one of the arguments is already loaded in the
WREG register.
Example 9-2 shows the sequence to 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.

PIC18F97J94 FAMILY
10.0 INTERRUPTS
Members of the PIC18F97J94 family of 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 interrupt vector is at 0008h and the low-
priority interrupt vector is at 0018h. High-priority inter-
rupt events will interrupt any low-priority interrupts that
may be in progress.
The registers for controlling interrupt operation are:
RCON
•INTCON
INTCON2
INTCON3
PIR1, PIR2, PIR3, PIR4, PIR5 and PIR6
PIE1, PIE2, PIE3, PIE4, PIE5 and PIE6
IPR1, IPR2, IPR3, IPR5, IPR5 and IPR6
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/
compiler to automatically take care of the placement of
these bits within the specified register.
In general, interrupt sources have three bits to control
their operation. They are:
Flag bit – Indicating that an interrupt event
occurred
Enable bit Enabling program execution to
branch to the interrupt vector address when the
flag bit is set
Priority bit – Specifying high priority or low priority
10.1 Mid-Range Compatibility
When the IPEN bit is cleared (default state), the
interrupt priority feature is disabled and interrupts are
compatible with PIC® microcontroller mid-range
devices. In Compatibility mode, the interrupt priority
bits of the IPRx registers have no effect. The PEIE/
GIEL bit of the INTCON register is the global interrupt
enable for the peripherals. The PEIE/GIEL bit disables
only the peripheral interrupt sources and enables the
peripheral interrupt sources when the GIE/GIEH bit is
also set. The GIE/GIEH 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 interrupts
branch to address 0008h in Compatibility mode.
10.2 Interrupt Priority
The interrupt priority feature is enabled by setting the
IPEN bit of the RCON register. When interrupt priority
is enabled the GIE/GIEH and PEIE/GIEL 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 register 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
the INTCON register disables 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 (GIE) 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.
10.3 Interrupt Response
When an interrupt is responded to, the Global Interrupt
Enable bit is cleared to disable further interrupts. The
GIE/GIEH bit is the global interrupt enable when the
IPEN bit 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 interrupt routine and sets the GIE/GIEH bit (GIEH
or GIEL if priority levels are used), which re-enables
interrupts.

DS30000575C-page 170 2012-2016 Microchip Technology Inc.
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.
FIGURE 10-1: PIC18F97J94 FAMILY INTERRUPT LOGIC
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.

10.4 INTCON Registers
The INTCON registers are readable and writable
registers that contain various enable, priority and flag
bits.
Note: Interrupt flag bits are set when an interrupt
condition occurs regardless of the state of
its corresponding enable bit or the Global
Interrupt Enable bit. User software should
ensure the appropriate interrupt flag bits
are clear prior to enabling an interrupt.
This feature allows for software polling.

10.5 PIR Registers
The PIR registers contain the individual flag bits for the
peripheral interrupts. Due to the number of peripheral
interrupt sources, there are six Peripheral Interrupt
Request (Flag) registers (PIR1 through PIR5).
Note 1: Interrupt flag bits are set when an
interrupt condition occurs regardless of
the state of its corresponding enable bit or
the Global Interrupt Enable bit, GIE
(INTCON<7>).
2: User software should ensure the
appropriate interrupt flag bits are cleared
prior to enabling an interrupt and after
servicing that interrupt.

The PIE registers contain the individual enable bits for
the peripheral interrupts. Due to the number of
peripheral interrupt sources, there are six Peripheral
Interrupt Enable registers (PIE1 through PIE6). When
IPEN (RCON<7>) = 0, the PEIE bit must be set to
enable any of these peripheral interrupts.

10.9 INTx Pin Interrupts
External interrupts on INT0, INT1, INT2 and INT3 are
edge-triggered. INT0 is multiplexed with RB0 pin
whereas INT1, INT2 and INT3 can only be used via
remappable pins as shown in Table 11-13. If the
corresponding INTEDGx bit in the INTCON2 register is
set (= 1), the interrupt is triggered by a rising edge. If
that bit is clear, the trigger is on the falling edge.
When a valid edge appears on the RBx/INTx pin, the
corresponding flag bit, INTxIF, is set. This interrupt can
be disabled by clearing the corresponding enable bit,
INTxIE. Before re-enabling the interrupt, the flag bit
(INTxIF) must be cleared in software in the Interrupt
Service Routine.
All external interrupts (INT0, INT1, INT2 and INT3) can
wake-up the processor from the power-managed
modes if bit, INTxIE, was set prior to going into the
power-managed modes. If the Global Interrupt Enable
bit (GIE) is set, the processor will branch to the interrupt
vector following wake-up.
The interrupt priority for INT1, INT2 and INT3 is
determined by the value contained in the Interrupt
Priority bits, INT1IP (INTCON3<6>), INT2IP
(INTCON3<7>) and INT3IP (INTCON2<1>).
There is no priority bit associated with INT0. It is always
a high-priority interrupt source.
10.10 TMR0 Interrupt
In 8-bit mode (the default), an overflow in the TMR0
register (FFh 00h) will set flag bit, TMR0IF. In 16-bit
mode, an overflow in the TMR0H:TMR0L register pair
(FFFFh 0000h) will set TMR0IF.
The interrupt can be enabled/disabled by setting/clearing
enable bit, TMR0IE (INTCON<5>). Interrupt priority for
Timer0 is determined by the value contained in the inter-
rupt priority bit, TMR0IP (INTCON2<2>). For further
details on the Timer0 module, see Section 14.0 “Timer0
Module”.
10.11 Edge-Selectable Interrupt-on-
Change
Interrupt-on-change pins are selected via the PPS
register settings and have the option of generating an
interrupt on positive or negative transitions, or both.
Positive edge events are enabled by setting the corre-
sponding bits in the IOCP register, while negative edge
events are enabled by setting the corresponding bits in
the IOCN register. For compatibility with the previous
interrupt-on-change feature, both the IOCP and IOCN
bits should be set. The interrupt can be enabled by
setting/clearing the IOCIE (INTCON<3>) bit. Each
individual pin can be disabled by clearing both of the
corresponding IOCN/IOCP bits. A change event (either
positive or negative edge) will cause the corresponding
IOCF flag to be set.
Interrupt priority for the edge selectable interrupt-on-
change is determined by the interrupt priority bit,
IOCIP (INTCON2<0>).

10.12 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 6.3 “Data Memory Organization), the user
may need to save the WREG, STATUS and BSR regis-
ters on entry to the Interrupt Service Routine (ISR).
Depending on the user’s application, other registers
also may need to be saved.
Example 10-1 saves and restores the WREG, STATUS
and BSR registers during an Interrupt Service Routine.

11.0 I/O PORTS
Depending on the device selected and features
enabled, there are up to eleven 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 peripheral is enabled, that pin may not
be used as a general purpose I/O pin.
Each port has three memory mapped registers for its
operation:
TRIS register (Data Direction register)
PORT register (reads the levels on the pins of the
device)
LAT register (Output Latch register)
Reading the PORT register reads the current status of
the pins, whereas writing to the PORT register, writes
to the Output Latch (LAT) register.
Setting a TRIS bit (= 1) makes the corresponding
PORT pin an input (putting the corresponding output
driver in a High-Impedance mode). Clearing a TRIS bit
(= 0) makes the corresponding port pin an output (i.e.,
driving the contents of the corresponding LAT bit on the
selected pin).
The Output Latch (LAT register) is useful for read-
modify-write operations on the value that the I/O pins
are driving. Read-modify-write operations on the LAT
register read and write the latched output value for the
PORT register.
A simplified model of a generic I/O port, without the
interfaces to other peripherals, is shown in Figure 11-1.
FIGURE 11-1: GENERIC I/O PORT
OPERATION
11.1 I/O Port Pin Capabilities
When developing an application, the capabilities of the
port pins must be considered.
The Absolute Maximum Ratings of the I/O pins are as
follows:
RA2, RA3 = -300mV to (VDD + 300 mV)
RA6, RA7, RC0, RC1 = -300 mV to (VDD
+300 mV)(1)
RF3/RF4 (the USB D+/D- pins) = supports “USB
specific levels” (e.g.: -1.0V to +4.6V, but only
when the external source impedance is >/= 28
ohms, and the VUSB3V3 pin voltage is >/= 3.0V,
otherwise: -500 mV to (VUSB3V3 +500 mV)
All other general purpose I/O pins (including
MCLR), when VDD is < 2.0V: -300 mV to +4.0V.
All other general purpose I/O pins (including
MCLR), when VDD is >= 2.0V: -300 mV to
+6.0V(2).

Note 1: When the pins are used to drive a
crystal or ceramic resonator, natural
oscillation waveforms slightly exceeding
the -300 mV to (VDD +300 mV) range
may sometimes occur, and if present,
such waveforms are allowed. If these
pins are instead used as general
purpose inputs, the external driving
source should adhere to the -300 mV to
(VDD +300 mV) specification.
2: In addition to the above absolute
maximums, any I/O pin voltage that is
actively selected at runtime by the ADC
channel select MUX must also meet the
VAIN requirements (parameter A25 in
Table 30-40).

11.1.1 OUTPUT PIN DRIVE
When used as digital I/O, the output pin drive strengths
vary, according to the pins’ grouping, to meet the needs
for a variety of applications. In general, there are two
classes of output pins in terms of drive capability:
Outputs designed to drive higher current loads,
such as LEDs:
-PORTB
-PORTC
Outputs with lower drive levels, but capable of
driving normal digital circuit loads with a high input
impedance. Able to drive LEDs, but only those
with smaller current requirements:
- PORTA - PORTD
- PORTE - PORTF
-PORTG - PORTH
(1)
-PORTJ
(1) -PORTK
(2)
-PORTL
(2)
11.1.2 PULL-UP CONFIGURATION
Nine of the I/O ports (all ports except PORTA and
PORTC) implement configurable weak pull-ups on all
pins. These are internal pull-ups that allow floating
digital input signals to be pulled to a consistent level
without the use of external resistors.
Pull-ups for PORTB are enabled by clearing the RBPU
bit (INTCON2<7>). PORTB pull-ups are individually
selectable through the WPUB register.
Pull-ups for PORTD, PORTE, PORTF, PORTG,
PORTH, PORTJ, PORTK and PORTL are enabled
through their corresponding enable bits in the PADCFG
register, but are not pin-selectable.
Note 1: These ports are not available on 64-pin
devices.
2: These ports are not available on 64-pin or
80-pin devices.

11.1.3 OPEN-DRAIN OUTPUTS
The output pins for several peripherals are also
equipped with a configurable, open-drain output option.
This allows the peripherals to communicate with
external digital logic, operating at a higher voltage
level, without the use of level translators.
The open-drain option is implemented on the
EUSARTs, the MSSPx modules (in SPI mode) and the
CCP modules. These modules are assigned to an I/O
pin using the PPS (Peripheral Pin Select) feature. The
open-drain option is enabled by setting the open-drain
control bits in the ODCON1 and ODCON2 registers.
When the open-drain option is required, the output pin
must also be tied through an external pull-up resistor,
provided by the user, to a higher voltage level, up to 5V
(Figure 11-2). When a digital logic high signal is output,
it is pulled up to the higher voltage level.

11.1.4 ANALOG AND DIGITAL PORTS
Many of the ports multiplex analog and digital function-
ality, providing a lot of flexibility for hardware designers.
PIC18FXXJ94 devices can make any analog pin ana-
log or digital, depending on an application’s needs. The
ports’ analog/digital functionality is controlled by the
registers: ANCON1, ANCON2 and ANCON3.
Setting these registers makes the corresponding pins
analog and clearing the registers makes the ports
digital. For details on these registers, see Section 22.0

11.2 PORTA, LATA and TRISA
Registers
PORTA is an 8-bit wide, bidirectional port. The corre-
sponding Data Direction and Output Latch registers are
TRISA and LATA.
All PORTA pins have Schmitt Trigger input levels and
full CMOS output drivers.
RA<5:0> are multiplexed with analog inputs for the A/D
Converter.
The operation of the analog inputs as A/D Converter
inputs is selected by clearing or setting the ANSELx
control bits in the ANCON1 register. The corresponding
TRISA bits control the direction of these pins, even
when they are being used as analog inputs. The user
must ensure the bits in the TRISA register are
maintained set when using them as analog inputs.
OSC2/CLKO/RA6 and OSC1/CLKI/RA7 normally
serve as the external circuit connections for the Exter-
nal (Primary) Oscillator circuit (HS Oscillator modes),
or the external clock input and output (EC Oscillator
modes). In these cases, RA6 and RA7 are not available
as digital I/O, and their corresponding TRIS and LAT
bits are read as ‘0. When the device is configured to
use either the FRC or LPRC Internal Oscillators as the
default oscillator mode, RA6 and RA7 are automatically
configured as digital I/O; the oscillator and clock in/
clock out functions are disabled.

Note: RA<5:0> are configured as analog inputs
on any Reset and are read as0’.

11.4 PORTC, LATC and TRISC
Registers
PORTC is an 8-bit wide, bidirectional port. The
corresponding Data Direction and Output Latch registers
are TRISC and LATC. Only PORTC pins, RC2 through
RC7, are digital only pins. The pins have Schmitt Trigger
input buffers.
When enabling peripheral functions, use care in defin-
ing TRIS bits for each PORTC pin. Some peripherals
can override the TRIS bit to make a pin an output or
input. Consult the corresponding peripheral section for
the correct TRIS bit settings.
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.

11.5 PORTD, LATD and
TRISD Registers
PORTD is an 8-bit wide, bidirectional port. The
corresponding Data Direction and Output Latch registers
are TRISD and LATD.
All pins on PORTD are implemented with Schmitt
Trigger input buffers. Each pin is individually
configurable as an input or output.
Each of the PORTD pins has a weak internal pull-up. A
single control bit can turn off all the pull-ups. This is
performed by setting bit, RDPU (PADCFG<7>). The
weak pull-up is automatically turned off when the port
pin is configured as an output. The pull-ups are
disabled on all device Resets.
On 80-pin and 100-pin devices, PORTD is multiplexed
with the system bus as part of the external memory
interface. I/O port and other functions are only available
when the interface is disabled by setting the EBDIS bit
(MEMCON<7>). When the interface is enabled,
PORTD is the low-order byte of the multiplexed
Address/Data bus (AD<7:0>). The TRISD bits are also
overridden.
PORTD can also be configured as an 8-bit wide micro-
processor port (Parallel Slave Port) by setting control
bit, PSPMODE (PSPCON<4>). In this mode, the input
buffers are TTL. For additional information, see
Section 11.13 “Parallel Slave Port”.
PORTD also has I2C functionality on RD5 and RD6.

For devices operating in Microcontroller mode, the RE7
pin can be configured as the alternate peripheral pin for
the ECCP2 module and Enhanced PWM Output 2A.
PORTE is also multiplexed with the Parallel Slave Port
address lines. RE2, RE1 and RE0 are multiplexed with
the control signals, CS, WR and RD.
RE3 can also be configured as the Reference Clock
Output (REFO) from the system clock. For further

11.8 PORTG, LATG and TRISG
Registers
PORTG width varies depending on pin count. For
64- and 80-pin devices, PORTG is a 6-bit wide, bidirec-
tional port. For 100-pin devices, PORTG is an 8-bit wide
bidirectional port. The corresponding Data Direction and
Output Latch registers are TRISG and LATG.
PORTG is multiplexed with the EUSART, and CCP,
ECCP, Analog, Comparator, RTCC and Timer input
functions (Table 11-7). When operating as I/O, all
PORTG pins have Schmitt Trigger input buffers. The
open-drain functionality for the CCPx and EUSARTx
can be configured using ODCONx.
When enabling peripheral functions, care should be
taken in defining TRIS bits for each PORTG pin. Some
peripherals override the TRIS bit to make a pin an
output, while other peripherals override the TRIS bit to
make a pin an input. The user should refer to the
corresponding peripheral section for the correct TRIS bit
settings. The pin override value is not loaded into the
TRIS register. This allows read-modify-write of the TRIS
register without concern due to peripheral overrides.

11.10 PORTJ, LATJ and TRISJ Registers
PORTJ is an 8-bit wide, bidirectional port. The
corresponding Data Direction and Output Latch registers
are TRISJ and LATJ.
All pins on PORTJ are implemented with Schmitt
Trigger input buffers. Each pin is individually
configurable as an input or output.
When the external memory interface is enabled, all of
the PORTJ pins function as control outputs for the inter-
face. This occurs automatically when the interface is
enabled by clearing the EBDIS control bit
(MEMCON<7>). The TRISJ bits are also overridden.
Each of the PORTJ pins has a weak internal pull-up.
The pull-ups are provided to keep the inputs at a known
state for the external memory interface while powering
up. A single control bit can turn off all the pull-ups. This
is performed by clearing bit, RJPU (PADCFG<2>). The
weak pull-up is automatically turned off when the port
pin is configured as an output. The pull-ups are
disabled on any device Reset.

11.13 Parallel Slave Port
PORTD can function as an 8-bit-wide Parallel Slave
Port (PSP), or microprocessor port, when control bit,
PSPMODE (PSPCON<4>), is set. The port is
asynchronously readable and writable by the external
world through the RD control input pin (RE0/AD8/LCD-
BIAS1/RP28/RD) and WR control input pin (RE1/AD9/
LCDBIAS2/RP29/WR).
The PSP can directly interface to an 8-bit micro-
processor data bus. The external microprocessor can
read or write the PORTD latch as an 8-bit latch.
Setting bit, PSPMODE, enables port pin, RE0/AD8/
LCDBIAS1/RP28/RD, to be the RD input, RE1/AD9/
LCDBIAS2/RP29/WR to be the WR input and RE2/
AD10/LCDBIAS3/RP30/CS to be 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 (‘111’).
A write to the PSP occurs when both the CS and WR
lines are first detected low and ends when either are
detected high. The PSPIF and IBF flag bits (PIR1<7>
and PSPCON<7>, respectively) are set when the write
ends.
A read from the PSP occurs when both the CS and RD
lines are first detected low. The data in PORTD is read
out and the OBF bit (PSPCON<6>) is set. If the user
writes new data to PORTD to set OBF, the data is
immediately read out, but the OBF bit is not set.
When either the CS or RD line is detected high, the
PORTD pins return to the input state and the PSPIF bit
is set. User applications should wait for PSPIF to 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 11-4 and Figure 11-5,
respectively.

11.14 Virtual PORT
This device includes a single virtual port, which is used to
construct a logically addressed 8-bit PORT from
8 physically unrelated pins on the device. The virtual
PORT is controlled through the PORTVP, LATVP and
TRISVP registers. These function identically to the PORT,
LAT and TRIS registers of the actual I/O ports. Refer to
Section 11.1 “I/O Port Pin Capabilities”
for more infor-
mation.
11.15 PPS-Lite
Previous PIC18 devices had I/O pins that were “hard-
wired” to a set of peripherals. For example, a port pin
might have had the option of serving as an I/O pin, an
analog input or as an interrupt source. In an effort to
increase the flexibility of the parts, PIC18FXXJ94 devices
contain PPS-Lite (Peripheral Pin Select-Lite), which
allows the developer to connect an internal peripheral to
a subset of pins. PPS-Lite is similar to PPS (available on
PIC18F products), but limits the user to interconnections
within four sets of pin/peripheral groups.
The PPS-Lite feature allows some flexibility in choosing
which peripheral connects to any particular pin. This
allows designs to be maximized for layout efficiency, and
also may allow component changes without changing the
printed circuit board design. The Peripheral Pin Select
feature operates over a fixed subset of digital I/O pins
(those designated as RPn pins). Users may inde-
pendently map the input and/or output of most digital
peripherals to a limited set of these I/O pins. The PPS-Lite
configuration is performed in software and does not
require the device to be reprogrammed. Hardware safe-
guards are included that prevent accidental or spurious
changes to the peripheral mapping once it has been
established.
11.15.1 AVAILABLE PINS
The PPS-Lite feature is used with a range of pins. All
devices in the PIC18FXXJ94 family contain a total of
47 remappable peripheral pins, labeled RP0 through
RP46. Pins that support PPS-Lite feature include the des-
ignation, “RPn” in their full pin designation, where “RP”
designates a remappable peripheral and “n” is the remap-
pable pin number. For PIC18FXXJ94 devices, RP41
through RP45 are digital inputs only.
11.15.2 AVAILABLE PERIPHERALS
The peripherals managed by the Peripheral Pin Select
are all “digital only” peripherals. These include general
serial communications (USART and SPI), general pur-
pose timer clock inputs, timer related peripherals (input
capture and output compare) and external interrupt
inputs.
In comparison, some digital only peripheral modules are
not currently included in the Peripheral Pin Select feature.
This is because the peripheral’s function requires special
I/O circuitry on a specific port and cannot be easily con-
nected to multiple pins. These modules include I
2
C, USB,
change notification inputs, RTCC alarm output and all
modules with analog inputs, such as the A/D Converter.
A key difference between remappable and non-remap-
pable peripherals is that remappable peripherals are not
associated with a default I/O pin. The peripheral must
always be assigned to a specific I/O pin before it can be
used. In contrast, non-remappable peripherals are always
available on a default pin, assuming that the peripheral is
active and not conflicting with another peripheral.
When a remappable peripheral is active on a given I/O
pin, it takes priority over all other digital I/O and digital
communication peripherals associated with the pin. Prior-
ity is given, regardless of the type of peripheral
that is
mapped. Remappable peripherals never take priority
over any analog functions associated with the pin.

11.15.3 CONTROLLING PERIPHERAL PIN
SELECT
Peripheral Pin Select features are controlled through
two sets of Special Function Registers (SFRs): one to
map peripheral inputs and one to map peripheral
outputs. Because they are separately controlled, a par-
ticular peripheral’s input and output (if the peripheral
has both) can be placed on any selectable function with
the only constraint being that RPn peripherals and pins
can only be mapped within their own group. It is not
possible to map a peripheral to a pin outside of its
group or vice versa.
The association of a peripheral to a peripheral-selectable
pin is handled in two different ways, depending if an input
or output is being mapped.
11.15.3.1 Input Mapping
The inputs of the Peripheral Pin Select options are
mapped on the basis of the peripheral; that is, a bit field
associated with a peripheral dictates the pin it will be
mapped to. The RPINRx registers (refer to registers in
Table 11-12 and Table 11-13) contain sets of 4-bit
fields, with each set associated with one of the remap-
pable peripherals. Programming a given peripherals
bit field with an RPn value maps the RPn pin to that
peripheral. For any given device, the valid range of val-
ues for any of the bit fields corresponds to the maxi-
mum number of peripheral Pin Selections supported by
the device.
The PPS-Lite peripheral inputs and associated RPn
pins have been organized into four groups. It is not pos-
sible to map a peripheral to an RPn pin which is outside
of its group. To map a peripheral input signal to an RPn
pin, use the 4-step process as indicated in Table 11-13.
Choose the signal and the RPn pin, and the column on
the right shows which value to write to the associated
RPIN register.
The peripheral inputs that support Peripheral Pin
Selection have no default pins. Since the implemented
bit fields of RPINRx registers reset to all ‘1s, the inputs
are all tied to VSS in the device’s default (Reset) state.
For example, to assign U1RX to RP3, write the value,
h’0, to RPINR0_1<3:0>. Figure 11-7 illustrates
remappable pin selection for the U1RX input.

11.15.3.2 Output Mapping
In contrast to the inputs, the outputs of the Peripheral
Pin Select options are mapped on the basis of the pin.
In this case, a bit field associated with a particular pin
dictates the peripheral output to be mapped. The
RPORx registers contain sets of 4-bit fields, with each
associated with one RPn pin (see Register 11-5). The
value of the bit field corresponds to one of the periph-
erals and that peripheral’s output is mapped to the pin.
Each pin has a limited set of peripherals to choose
from.
The PPS-Lite peripheral outputs and associated RPn
pins have been organized into four groups. It is not
possible to map a peripheral to an RPn pin which is out-
side of its group. To map a peripheral output signal to
an RPn pin, use the 4-step process, as indicated in
Table 11-14. Choose the RPn pin and the signal; the
column on the right shows which value to write to the
associated RPORx register.
The peripheral outputs that support Peripheral Pin
Selection have no default pins. Since the RPORx reg-
isters reset to all ‘0s, the outputs are all disconnected
in the device’s default (Reset) state.
The list of peripherals for output mapping also includes
a null value of b’0000’ because of the mapping
technique. This allows unused peripherals to not be
connected to a pin. Not all peripherals are available on
all pins. For example, the “SDO2” signal is only avail-
able on RP0, RP4, RP8, etc. The “SDO2” signal is not
available on RP1.

11.15.3.3 I/O Mapping
While most peripheral signals are defined as either
input or output, some peripheral signals switch
between input and output: UnRX_DT, UnTX_CK, PBIO
and CCP. Most commonly, these signals are mapped
so that both the input and output map to the same RPn
pin. If desired, the input and output can be mapped to
separate pins. For standard peripheral operation,
ensure that both the input and output mapping
configurations select the same RPn pin.
11.15.3.4 Mapping Limitations
The control schema of Peripheral Select Pins is not lim-
ited to a small range of fixed peripheral configurations.
There are no mutual or hardware enforced lockouts
between any of the peripheral mapping SFRs. While
such mappings may be technically possible from a
configuration point of view, the user must ensure the
selected configurations are supportable from an
electrical point of view.
11.15.4 CONTROLLING CONFIGURATION
CHANGES
Because peripheral remapping can be changed during
run time, some restrictions on peripheral remapping
are needed to prevent accidental configuration
changes. PIC18FXXJ94 devices include two features
to prevent alterations to the peripheral map:

11.15.4.1 Control Register Lock
The contents of RPINRx and RPORx registers are con-
stantly monitored in hardware by shadow registers. If
an unexpected change in any of the registers occurs
(such as cell disturbances caused by ESD or other
external events), a Configuration Mismatch Reset will
trigger.
11.15.4.2 Configuration Bit Pin Select Lock
As an additional level of safety, the device can be
configured to prevent more than one write session to
the RPINRx and RPORx registers. The IOL1WAY Con-
figuration bit (CONFIG5H<0>) blocks the IOLOCK bit
from being cleared after it has been set once.
In the default (unprogrammed) state, IOL1WAY is set,
restricting users to one write session. Programming
IOL1WAY allows users unlimited access to the Periph-
eral Pin Select registers. It is good programming prac-
tice to always set the IOLOCK bit (OSCCON2<6>) after
all changes have been made to PPS-Lite registers.
11.15.5 CONSIDERATIONS FOR
PERIPHERAL PIN SELECTION
The ability to control Peripheral Pin Selection intro-
duces several considerations into application design
that should be considered. This is particularly true for
several common peripherals which are only available
as remappable peripherals.
Before any other application code is executed, the user
must initialize the device with the proper peripheral
configuration. Since the IOLOCK is not active in the
Reset state, the peripherals can be configured, and the
IOLOCK bit can be set when configuration is complete.
Choosing the configuration requires the review of all
Peripheral Pin Selects and their pin assignments,
especially those that will not be used in the application.
In all cases, unused pin-selected peripherals should be
disabled. Unused peripherals should have their inputs
assigned to VSS. I/O pins with unused RPn functions
should be configured with the NULL (‘0’) peripheral
output.
The assignment of an RPn pin to the peripheral input or
output depends on the peripheral and its use in the
application. It is good programming practice to map
peripherals to pins immediately after Reset. This
should be done before any configuration changes to
the peripheral itself.
The assignment of a peripheral output to a particular
pin does not automatically perform any other configura-
tion of the pin’s I/O circuitry. This means adding a pin-
selectable output to a pin may mean inadvertently driv-
ing an existing peripheral input when the output is
driven. Users must be familiar with the behavior of
other fixed peripherals that share a remappable pin. To
be safe, fixed digital peripherals that share the same
pin should be disabled when not in use.
Configuring a remappable pin for a specific peripheral
input does not automatically turn that feature on. The
peripheral must be specifically configured for operation
and enabled, as if it were tied to a fixed pin.
A final consideration is that Peripheral Pin Select func-
tions neither override analog inputs, nor reconfigure
pins with analog functions for digital I/O. If a pin is
configured as an analog input on device Reset, it must
be explicitly reconfigured as digital I/O when used with
a Peripheral Pin Select.
11.15.5.1 Basic Steps to Use Peripheral Pin
Selection Lite (PPS-Lite)
1. Disable any fixed digital peripherals on the pins
to be used.
2. Switch pins to be used for digital functionality (if
they have analog functionality) using the
ANCONx registers.
3. Clear the IOLOCK bit (OSCCON<6>) if needed
(not needed after a device Reset).
4. Set RPINRx and RPORx registers appropriately.
5. Set the IOLOCK bit (OSCCON<6>).
6. Enable and configure newly mapped PPS-Lite
peripherals.

12.0 DATA SIGNAL MODULATOR
The Data Signal Modulator (DSM) is a peripheral which
allows the user to mix a data stream, also known as a
modulator signal, with a carrier signal to produce a
modulated output.
Both the carrier and the modulator signals are supplied
to the DSM module, either internally from the output of
a peripheral, or externally through an input pin.
The carrier signal is comprised of two distinct and
separate signals: a Carrier High (CARH) signal and a
Carrier Low (CARL) signal. During the time in which the
Modulator (MOD) signal is in a logic high state, the DSM
mixes the Carrier High signal with the Modulator signal.
When the Modulator signal is in a logic low state, the
DSM mixes the Carrier Low signal with the Modulator
signal.
Using this method, the DSM can generate the following
types of key modulation schemes:
Frequency-Shift Keying (FSK)
Phase-Shift Keying (PSK)
On-Off Keying (OOK)
Additionally, the following features are provided within
the DSM module:
Carrier Synchronization
Carrier Source Polarity Select
Carrier Source Pin Disable
Programmable Modulator Data
Modulator Source Pin Disable
Modulator Output Polarity Select
Slew Rate Control
Figure 12-1 shows a simplified block diagram of the
Data Signal Modulator peripheral.

12.1 DSM Operation
The DSM module can be enabled by setting the MDEN
bit in the MDCON register. Clearing the MDEN bit in the
MDCON register disables the DSM module by auto-
matically switching the Carrier High and Carrier Low
signals to the VSS signal source. The Modulator signal
source is also switched to the MDBIT in the MDCON
register. This not only assures that the DSM module is
inactive, but that it is also consuming the least amount
of current.
The Modulation Carrier High and Modulation Carrier
Low Control registers are not affected when the MDEN
bit is cleared, and the DSM module is disabled. The
values inside these registers remain unchanged while
the DSM is inactive. The sources for the Carrier High,
Carrier Low and Modulator signals will once again be
selected when the MDEN bit is set, and the DSM
module is again enabled and active.
The modulated output signal can be disabled without
shutting down the DSM module. The DSM module will
remain active and continue to mix signals, but the out-
put value will not be sent to the MDOUT pin. During the
time that the output is disabled, the MDOUT pin will
remain low. The modulated output can be disabled by
clearing the MDOE bit in the MDCON register.
12.2 Modulator Signal Sources
The Modulator signal can be supplied from the following
sources:
ECCP1 Signal
ECCP2 Signal
ECCP3 Signal
CCP2 Signal
CCP3 Signal
CCP4 Signal
CCP5 Signal
CCP6 Signal

EUSART1 TX1 Signal
EUSART2 TX2 Signal
EUSART3 TX3 Signal
EUSART4 TX4 Signal
External Signal on MDMIN Pin (RF0/MDMIN)
MDBIT bit in the MDCON Register
The Modulator signal is selected by configuring the
MDSRC<3:0> bits in the MDSRC register.
12.3 Carrier Signal Sources
The Carrier High signal and Carrier Low signal can be
supplied from the following sources:
ECCP1 Signal
ECCP2 Signal
ECCP3 Signal
CCP5 Signal
CCP6 Signal
CCP7 Signal

•System Clock
External Signals on the MDCIN1 and MDCIN2
pins are available though PPS. Refer to
Section 11.15 “PPS-Lite” for setup.
•V
SS
The Carrier High signal is selected by configuring the
MDCH<3:0> bits in the MDCARH register. The Carrier
Low signal is selected by configuring the MDCL<3:0>
bits in the MDCARL register.
12.4 Carrier Synchronization
During the time when the DSM switches between
Carrier High and Carrier Low signal sources, the carrier
data in the modulated output signal can become
truncated. To prevent this, the carrier signal can be
synchronized to the Modulator signal. When synchroni-
zation is enabled, the carrier pulse that is being mixed
at the time of the transition is allowed to transition low
before the DSM switches over to the next carrier
source.
Synchronization is enabled separately for the Carrier
High and Carrier Low signal sources. Synchronization
for the Carrier High signal can be enabled by setting
the MDCHSYNC bit in the MDCARH register. Synchro-
nization for the Carrier Low signal can be enabled by
setting the MDCLSYNC bit in the MDCARL register.
Figure 12-1 through Figure 12-6 show timing diagrams
using various synchronization methods.

12.5 Carrier Source Polarity Select
The signal provided from any selected input source for
the Carrier High and Carrier Low signals can be
inverted. Inverting the signal for the Carrier High source
is enabled by setting the MDCHPOL bit of the
MDCARH register. Inverting the signal for the Carrier
Low source is enabled by setting the MDCLPOL bit of
the MDCARL register.
12.6 Carrier Source Pin Disable
Some peripherals assert control over their correspond-
ing output pin when they are enabled. For example,
when the CCP1 module is enabled, the output of CCP1
is connected to the CCP1 pin.
This default connection to a pin can be disabled by
setting the MDCHODIS bit in the MDCARH register for
the Carrier High source and the MDCLODIS bit in the
MDCARL register for the Carrier Low source.
12.7 Programmable Modulator Data
The MDBIT of the MDCON register can be selected as
the source for the Modulator signal. This gives the user
the ability to program the value used for modulation.
12.8 Modulator Source Pin Disable
The Modulator source default connection to a pin can
be disabled by setting the MDSODIS bit in the MDSRC
register.
12.9 Modulated Output Polarity
The modulated output signal provided on the MDOUT
pin can also be inverted. Inverting the modulated out-
put signal is enabled by setting the MDOPOL bit of the
MDCON register.
12.10 Slew Rate Control
When modulated data streams of 20 MHz or greater
are required, the slew rate limitation on the output port
pin can be disabled. The slew rate limitation can be
removed by clearing the MDSLR bit in the MDCON
register.
12.11 Operation In Sleep Mode
The DSM module is not affected by Sleep mode. The
DSM can still operate during Sleep if the carrier and
Modulator input sources are also still operable during
Sleep.
12.12 Effects of a Reset
Upon any device Reset, the Modulator data signal
module is disabled. The user’s firmware is responsible
for initializing the module before enabling the output.
The registers are reset to their default values.

13.0 LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY
(LCD) CONTROLLER
The Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) driver module gener-
ates the timing control to drive a static or multiplexed
LCD panel. In 100-pin devices (PIC18F97J94), the
module drives panels of up to eight commons and up to
60 segments when 5 to 8 commons are used, and up
to 64 segments when 1 to 4 commons are used. It also
provides control of the LCD pixel data.
The LCD driver module supports:
Direct driving of LCD panel
Three LCD clock sources with selectable prescaler
Up to eight commons:
- Static (One common)
- 1/2 multiplex (two commons)
- 1/3 multiplex (three commons)
- 1/8 multiplex (eight commons)
Up to 60 segments (in 100-pin devices when
1/5-1/8 multiplex is selected), 64 (in 100-pin
devices when up to 1/4 multiplex is selected), 46
(in 80-pin devices when 1/5-1/8 multiplex is
selected), 50 (in 80-pin devices when up to
1/4 multiplex is selected), 30 (in 64-pin devices
when 1/5-1/8 multiplex is selected) and 34 (in
64-pin devices when up to 1/4 multiplex is
selected)

13.1 LCD Registers
The LCD controller has up to 77 registers:
LCD Control Register (LCDCON)
LCD Phase Register (LCDPS)
LCD Voltage Regulator Control Register
(LCDREG)
LCD Reference Ladder Control Register
(LCDREF and LCDRL)
Eight LCD Segment Enable Registers
(LCDSE7:LCDSE0)
64 LCD Data Registers (LCDDATA63:LCDDA-
TA0)
The LCDCON register, shown in Register 13-1, con-
trols the overall operation of the module. Once the
module is configured, the LCDEN (LCDCON<7>) bit is
used to enable or disable the LCD module. The LCD
panel can also operate during Sleep by clearing the
SLPEN (LCDCON<6>) bit.
The LCDPS register, shown in Register 13-3, configures
the LCD clock source prescaler and the type of wave-
form: Type-A or Type-B. For details on these features,
see Section 13.3 “LCD Clock Source Selection” and
Section 13.12 “LCD Waveform Generation”.

13.2 LCD Segment Pins Configuration
The LCDSEx registers configure the functions of the
port pins. Setting the segment enable bit for a particular
segment configures that pin as an LCD driver. There
are four LCD Segment Enable registers, as shown in
Table 13-1. The prototype LCDSEx register is shown in
Register 13-4.
Once the module is initialized for the LCD panel, the
individual bits of the LCDDATAx registers are cleared
or set to represent a clear or dark pixel, respectively.
Specific sets of LCDDATA registers are used with
specific segments and common signals. Each bit rep-
resents a unique combination of a specific segment
connected to a specific common.
Individual LCDDATA bits are named by the convention,
“SxxCy”, with “xx” as the segment number and “y” as
the common number. The relationship is summarized
in Register 13-3. The prototype LCDDATAx register is
shown in Register 13-5.

13.3 LCD Clock Source Selection
The LCD driver module has three possible clock
sources:
• FRC/8192
• SOSC Clock/32
• LPRC/32
The first clock source is the 8 MHz Fast Internal RC
(FRC) Oscillator divided by 8,192. This divider ratio is
chosen to provide about 1 kHz output. The divider is
not programmable. Instead, the LCD prescaler bits,
LCDPS<3:0>, are used to set the LCD frame clock
rate.
The second clock source is the SOSC Oscillator/32.
This also outputs about 1 kHz when a 32.768 kHz
crystal is used with the SOSC Oscillator. To use the
SOSC Oscillator as a clock source, set the SOSCEN
(T1CON<3>) bit.
The third clock source is a 31.25 kHz internal LPRC
Oscillator/32 that provides approximately 1 kHz output.
The second and third clock sources may be used to
continue running the LCD while the processor is in
Sleep.
These clock sources are selected through the bits,
CS<1:0> (LCDCON<4:3>).
13.3.1 LCD PRESCALER
A 16-bit counter is available as a prescaler for the LCD
clock. The prescaler is not directly readable or writable.
Its value is set by the LP<3:0> bits (LCDPS<3:0>) that
determine the prescaler assignment and prescale ratio.
Selectable prescale values are from 1:1 through 1:16,
in increments of one.

13.4 LCD Bias Types
The LCD module can be configured in one of three bias
types:
Static bias (two voltage levels: VSS and VDD)
1/2 bias (three voltage levels: VSS, 1/2 VDD and
VDD)
1/3 bias (four voltage levels: VSS, 1/3 VDD, 2/3
VDD and VDD)
LCD bias voltages can be generated with internal
resistor ladders, internal bias generator or external
resistor ladder.
13.5 Internal Resistor Biasing
This mode does not use external resistors, but rather
internal resistor ladders that are configured to generate
the bias voltage.
The internal reference ladder actually consists of three
separate ladders. Disabling the internal reference lad-
der disconnects all of the ladders, allowing external
voltages to be supplied.
Depending on the total resistance of the resistor
ladders, the biasing can be classified as low, medium
or high power.
Table 13-3 shows the total resistance of each of the
ladders. Table 13 -3 shows the internal resister ladder
connections. When the internal resistor ladder is
selected, the bias voltage can either be from VDD or
from VDDCORE, depending on the LCDIRS setting. It
can also provide software contrast control (using
LCDCST<2:0>)
.

FIGURE 13-3: LCD BIAS INTERNAL RESISTOR LADDER CONNECTION DIAGRAM
There are two power modes, designated as “Mode A”
and “Mode B”. Mode A is set by the LRLAP<1:0> bits
and Mode B by the LRLB<1:0> bits. The resistor ladder
to use for Modes A and B are selected by the bits,
LRLAP<1:0> and LRLBP<1:0>, respectively.
Each ladder has a matching contrast control ladder,
tuned to the nominal resistance of the reference ladder.
This contrast control resistor can be controlled by the
LCDCST<2:0> bits (LCDREF<5:3>). Disabling the
internal reference ladder results in all of the ladders
being disconnected, allowing external voltages to be
supplied.
To get additional current in High-Power mode, when
LRLAP<1:0> (LCDRL<7:6>) = 11, both the medium
and high-power resistor ladders are activated.
Whenever the LCD module is inactive, LCDA
(LCDPS<5>) = 0), the reference ladder will be turned
off.

13.5.1 AUTOMATIC POWER MODE
SWITCHING
As an LCD segment is electrically only a capacitor, cur-
rent is drawn only during the interval when the voltage
is switching. To minimize total device current, the LCD
reference ladder can be operated in a different power
mode for the transition portion of the duration. This is
controlled by the LCDREF and LCDRL registers.
Mode A Power mode is active for a programmable
time, beginning at the time when the LCD segment
waveform is transitioning. The LRLAT<2:0> bits
(LCDRL<2:0>) select how long or if the Mode A is
active. Mode B Power mode is active for the remaining
time before the segments or commons change again.
As shown in Figure 13-4, there are 32 counts in a single
segment time. Type-A can be chosen during the time
when the wave form is in transition. Type-B can be
used when the clock is stable or not in transition.
By using this feature of automatic power switching
using Type-A/Type-B, the power consumption can be
optimized for a given contrast.

13.5.2 CONTRAST CONTROL
The LCD contrast control circuit consists of a 7-tap
resistor ladder, controlled by the LCDCSTx bits (see
Figure 13-5)
FIGURE 13-5: INTERNAL REFERENCE AND CONTRAST CONTROL BLOCK DIAGRAM
13.5.3 INTERNAL REFERENCE
Under firmware control, an internal reference for the
LCD bias voltages can be enabled. When enabled, the
source of this voltage can be VDD.
When no internal reference is selected, the LCD con-
trast control circuit is disabled and LCD bias must be
provided externally. Whenever the LCD module is inac-
tive (LCDA = 0), the internal reference will be turned
off.
13.5.4 VLCDxPE PINS
The VLCD3PE, VLCD2PE and VLCD1PE pins provide
the ability for an external LCD bias network to be used
instead of the internal ladder. Use of the VLCDxPE pins
does not prevent use of the internal ladder.
Each VLCDxPE pin has an independent control in the
LCDREF register, allowing access to any or all of the
LCD bias signals.
This architecture allows for maximum flexibility in differ-
ent applications. The VLCDxPE pins could be used to
add capacitors to the internal reference ladder for
increasing the drive capacity. For applications where
the internal contrast control is insufficient, the firmware
can choose to enable only the VLCD3PE pin, allowing
an external contrast control circuit to use the internal
reference divider.

13.5.5 LCD BIAS GENERATION
The LCD driver module is capable of generating the
required bias voltages for LCD operation with a mini-
mum of external components. This includes the ability
to generate the different voltage levels required by the
different bias types that are required by the LCD. The
driver module can also provide bias voltages, both
above and below microcontroller VDD, through the use
of an on-chip LCD voltage regulator.
13.5.6 LCD BIAS TYPES
PIC18F97J94 family devices support three bias types,
based on the waveforms generated to control
segments and commons:
Static (two discrete levels)
1/2 Bias (three discrete levels)
1/3 Bias (four discrete levels)
The use of different waveforms in driving the LCD is dis-
cussed in more detail in Section 13.12 “LCD Waveform
Generation”.
13.5.7 LCD VOLTAGE REGULATOR
The purpose of the LCD regulator is to provide proper
bias voltage and good contrast for the LCD, regardless
of VDD levels. This module contains a charge pump and
internal voltage reference. The regulator can be config-
ured by using external components to boost bias
voltage above VDD. It can also operate a display at a
constant voltage below VDD. The regulator can also be
selectively disabled to allow bias voltages to be
generated by an external resistor network.
The LCD regulator is controlled through the LCDREG
register. It is enabled or disabled using the
CLKSEL<1:0> bits, while the charge pump can be
selectively enabled using the CPEN bit. When the reg-
ulator is enabled, the MODE13 bit is used to select the
bias type. The peak LCD bias voltage, measured as a
difference between the potentials of LCDBIAS3 and
LCDBIAS0, is configured with the BIAS bits.

13.6 BIAS CONFIGURATIONS
PIC18F97J94 family devices have four distinct circuit
configurations for LCD bias generation:
M0: Regulator with Boost
M1: Regulator without Boost
M2: Resistor Ladder with Software Contrast
M3: Resistor Ladder with Hardware Contrast
13.6.1 M0 (REGULATOR WITH BOOST)
In M0 operation, the LCD charge pump feature is
enabled. This allows the regulator to generate voltages
up to +3.6V to the LCD (as measured at LCDBIAS3).
M0 uses a flyback capacitor connected between
VLCAP1 and VLCAP2, as well as filter capacitors on
LCDBIAS0 through LCDBIAS3, to obtain the required
voltage boost (Figure 13-6). The output voltage (VBIAS)
is the difference of the potential between LCDBIAS3
and LCDBIAS0. It is set by the BIAS<2:0> bits which
adjust the offset between LCDBIAS0 and VSS. The
flyback capacitor (CFLY) acts as a charge storage ele-
ment for large LCD loads. This mode is useful in those
cases where the voltage requirements of the LCD are
higher than the microcontroller’s VDD. It also permits
software control of the display’s contrast, by adjust-
ment of bias voltage, by changing the value of the BIAS
bits.
M0 supports static and 1/3 bias types. Generation of
the voltage levels for 1/3 bias is handled automatically,
but must be configured in software.
M0 is enabled by selecting a valid regulator clock
source (CLKSEL<1:0> set to any value except ‘00’)
and setting the CPEN bit. If static bias type is required,
the MODE13 bit must be cleared.
13.6.2 M1 (REGULATOR WITHOUT
BOOST)
M1 operation is similar to M0, but does not use the LCD
charge pump. It can provide VBIAS up to the voltage
level supplied directly to LCDBIAS3. It can be used in
cases where VDD for the application is expected to
never drop below a level that can provide adequate
contrast for the LCD. The connection of external com-
ponents is very similar to M0, except that LCDBIAS3
must be tied directly to VDD (Figure 13-6).
The BIAS<2:0> bits can still be used to adjust contrast
in software by changing the VBIAS. As with M0, chang-
ing these bits changes the offset between LCDBIAS0
and VSS. In M1, this is reflected in the change between
the LCDBIAS0 and the voltage tied to LCDBIAS3.
Thus, if VDD should change, VBIAS will also change;
where in M0, the level of VBIAS is constant.
Like M0, M1 supports static and 1/3 bias types.
Generation of the voltage levels for 1/3 bias is handled
automatically but must be configured in software. M1 is
enabled by selecting a valid regulator clock source
(CLKSEL<1:0> set to any value except ‘00’) and clear-
ing the CPEN bit. If 1/3 bias type is required, the
MODE13 bit should also be set.
Note: When the device is put to Sleep while oper-
ating in mode M0 or M1, make sure that the
bias capacitors are fully discharged to get
the lowest Sleep current.

13.6.3 M2 (EXTERNAL RESISTOR LADDER
WITH SOFTWARE CONTRAST)
M2 operation also uses the LCD regulator but disables
the charge pump. The regulator’s internal voltage refer-
ence remains active as a way to regulate contrast. It is
used in cases where the current requirements of the
LCD exceed the capacity of the regulator’s charge
pump.
In this configuration, the LCD bias voltage levels are
created by an external resistor voltage divider,
connected across LCDBIAS0 through LCDBIAS3, with
the top of the divider tied to VDD (Figure 13-7). The
potential at the bottom of the ladder is determined by
the LCD regulator’s voltage reference, tied internally to
LCDBIAS0. The bias type is determined by the volt-
ages on the LCDBIAS pins, which are controlled by the
configuration of the resistor ladder. Most applications,
using M2, will use a 1/3 or 1/2 bias type. While static
bias can also be used, it offers extremely limited con-
trast range and additional current consumption over
other bias generation modes.
Like M1, the LCDBIAS bits can be used to control con-
trast, limited by the level of VDD supplied to the device.
Also, since there is no capacitor required across
VLCAP1 and VLCAP2, these pins are available as digital
I/O ports, RG2 and RG3. M2 is selected by clearing the
CLKSEL<1:0> bits and setting the CPEN bit.

13.6.4 M3 (HARDWARE CONTRAST)
In M3, the LCD regulator is completely disabled. Like
M2, LCD bias levels are tied to VDD and are generated
using an external divider. The difference is that the
internal voltage reference is also disabled and the bot-
tom of the ladder is tied to ground (VSS); see Figure 13-
8. The value of the resistors, and the difference
between VSS and VDD, determine the contrast range;
no software adjustment is possible. This configuration
is also used where the LCD’s current requirements
exceed the capacity of the charge pump and software
contrast control is not needed.
Depending on the bias type required, resistors are con-
nected between some or all of the pins. A potentiome-
ter can also be connected between LCDBIAS3 and
VDD to allow for hardware controlled contrast adjust-
ment.
M3 is selected by clearing the CLKSEL<1:0> and
CPEN bits.

13.7 Design Considerations for the
LCD Charge Pump
When designing applications that use the LCD regula-
tor with the charge pump enabled, users must always
consider both the dynamic current and RMS (static)
current requirements of the display, and what the
charge pump can deliver. Both dynamic and static
current can be determined by Equation 13-1:
EQUATION 13-1: LCD STATIC, DYNAMIC
CURRENT
For dynamic current, C, is the value of the capacitors
attached to LCDBIAS3 and LCDBIAS2. The variable,
dV, is the voltage drop allowed on C2 and C3 during a
voltage switch on the LCD display, and dt is the duration
of the transient current after a clock pulse occurs.
For practical design purposes, it will be assumed to be
0.047 µF for C, 0.1V for dV and 1 µs for dt. This yields
a dynamic current of 4.7 mA for 1 µs.
RMS current is determined by the value of CFLY for C,
the voltage across VLCAP1 and VLCAP2 for dV and the
regulator clock period (TPER) for dt. Assuming a CFLY
value of 0.047 µF, a value of 1.02V across CFLY and
TPER of 30 µs, the maximum theoretical static current
will be 1.8 mA. Since the charge pump must charge five
capacitors, the maximum current becomes 360 µA.
For a real-world assumption of 50% efficiency, this
yields a practical current of 180 µA. Users should com-
pare the calculated current capacity against the
requirements of the LCD. While dV and dt are relatively
fixed by device design, the values of CFLY and the
capacitors on the LCDBIAS pins can be changed to
increase or decrease current. As always, any changes
should be evaluated in the actual circuit for their impact
on the application.
13.8 LCD Multiplex Types
The LCD driver module can be configured into four
multiplex types:
Static (only COM0 used)
1/2 multiplex (COM0 and COM1 are used)
1/3 multiplex (COM0, COM1 and COM2 are used)
1/4 multiplex (COM0, COM1, COM2 and COM3
are used)
1/5 multiplex (COM0, COM1, COM2, COM3 and
COM4 are used)
1/6 multiplex (COM0, COM1, COM2, COM3,
COM4 and COM5 are used)
1/7 multiplex (COM0, COM1, COM2, COM3,
COM4, COM5 and COM6 are used)
1/8 multiplex (COM0, COM1, COM2, COM3,
COM4, COM5, COM6 and COM7 are used)
The LMUX<2:0> setting (LCDCON<2:0>) decides the
function of the COM pins. (For details, see Tabl e 13 -4).
If the pin is a digital I/O, the corresponding TRIS bit
controls the data direction. If the pin is a COM drive, the
TRIS setting of that pin is overridden.
13.9 Segment Enables
The LCDSEx registers are used to select the pin function
for each segment pin. The selection allows each pin to
operate as either an LCD segment driver or a digital only
pin. To configure the pin as a segment pin, the corre-
sponding bits in the LCDSEx registers must be set to ‘1’.
If the pin is a digital I/O, the corresponding TRIS bit
controls the data direction. Any bit set in the LCDSEx
registers overrides any bit settings in the corresponding
TRIS register.
I = C x dV
dt
Note: On a Power-on Reset, the LMUX<2:0>
bits are ‘000’.
TABLE 13-4: COM<7:0> PIN FUNCTIONS
LMUX<2:0> COM7 Pin COM6 Pin COM5 Pin COM4 Pin COM3 Pin COM2 Pin COM1 Pin COM0 Pin
111 COM7 COM6 COM5 COM4 COM3 COM2 COM1 COM0
110 I/O Pin COM6 COM5 COM4 COM3 COM2 COM1 COM0
101 I/O Pin I/O Pin COM5 COM4 COM3 COM2 COM1 COM0

000 I/O Pin I/O Pin I/O Pin I/O Pin I/O Pin I/O Pin I/O Pin COM0
Note: Pins, COM<7:4>, can also be used as SEG pins when ¼ multiplex to static multiplex are used. These pins
can be used as I/O pins only if respective bits in the LCDSEx registers are set to ‘0’.
Note: On a Power-on Reset, these pins are
configured as digital I/O.

13.10 Pixel Control
The LCDDATAx registers contain bits that define the
state of each pixel. Each bit defines one unique pixel.
Table 13-2 shows the correlation of each bit in the
LCDDATAx registers to the respective common and
segment signals.
Any LCD pixel location not being used for display can
be used as general purpose RAM.
13.11 LCD Frame Frequency
The rate at which the COM and SEG outputs change is
called the LCD frame frequency.
13.12 LCD Waveform Generation
LCD waveform generation is based on the philosophy
that the net AC voltage across the dark pixel should be
maximized and the net AC voltage across the clear
pixel should be minimized. The net DC voltage across
any pixel should be zero.
The COM signal represents the time slice for each
common, while the SEG contains the pixel data.
The pixel signal (COM-SEG) will have no DC compo-
nent and can take only one of the two rms values. The
higher rms value will create a dark pixel and a lower
rms value will create a clear pixel.
As the number of commons increases, the delta
between the two rms values decreases. The delta rep-
resents the maximum contrast that the display can
have.
The LCDs can be driven by two types of waveforms:
Type-A and Type-B. In a Type-A waveform, the phase
changes within each common type, whereas a Type-B
waveform’s phase changes on each frame boundary.
Thus, Type-A waveforms maintain 0 VDC over a single
frame, whereas Type-B waveforms take two frames.
Figure 13-9 through Figure 13-21 provide waveforms
for static, half-multiplex, one-third multiplex and quarter
multiplex drives for Type-A and Type-B waveforms.
TABLE 13-5: FRAME FREQUENCY FORMULAS
Multiplex Frame Frequency =
Static (000’) Clock Source/(4 x 1 x (LP<3:0> + 1))
1/2 (‘001’) Clock Source/(2 x 2 x (LP<3:0> + 1))
1/3 (‘010’) Clock Source/(1 x 3 x (LP<3:0> + 1))
1/4 (‘011’) Clock Source/(1 x 4 x (LP<3:0> + 1))
1/5 (‘100’) Clock Source/(1 x 5 x (LP<3:0> + 1))
1/6 (‘101’) Clock Source/(1 x 6 x (LP<3:0> + 1))
1/7 (‘110’) Clock Source/(1 x 7 x (LP<3:0> + 1))
1/8 (‘111’) Clock Source/(1 x 8 x (LP<3:0> + 1))
Note: The clock source is FRC/8192, SOSC/32 or LPRC/32.
Note: If Sleep has to be executed with LCD Sleep
enabled (SLPEN (LCDCON<6>) = 1),
care must be taken to execute Sleep only
when VDC on all the pixels is ‘0’.

13.13 LCD Interrupts
The LCD timing generation provides an interrupt that
defines the LCD frame timing. This interrupt can be
used to coordinate the writing of the pixel data with the
start of a new frame, which produces a visually crisp
transition of the image.
This interrupt can also be used to synchronize external
events to the LCD. For example, the interface to an
external segment driver can be synchronized for
segment data updates to the LCD frame.
A new frame is defined as beginning at the leading
edge of the COM0 common signal. The interrupt will be
set immediately after the LCD controller completes
accessing all pixel data required for a frame. This will
occur at a fixed interval before the frame boundary
(TFINT), as shown in Figure 13-22.
The LCD controller will begin to access data for the
next frame within the interval from the interrupt to when
the controller begins accessing data after the interrupt
(TFWR). New data must be written within TFWR, as this
is when the LCD controller will begin to access the data
for the next frame.
When the LCD driver is running with Type-B wave-
forms, and the LMUX<2:0> bits are not equal to ‘000’,
there are some additional issues.
Since the DC voltage on the pixel takes two frames to
maintain 0V, the pixel data must not change between
subsequent frames. If the pixel data were allowed to
change, the waveform for the odd frames would not
necessarily be the complement of the waveform gener-
ated in the even frames and a DC component would be
introduced into the panel.
Because of this, using Type-B waveforms requires
synchronizing the LCD pixel updates to occur within a
subframe after the frame interrupt.
To correctly sequence writing in Type-B, the interrupt
only occurs on complete phase intervals. If the user
attempts to write when the write is disabled, the WERR
bit (LCDCON<5>) is set.
FIGURE 13-22: EXAMPLE WAVEFORMS AND INTERRUPT TIMING IN QUARTER

Type-A waveform is selected and when
the Type-B with no multiplex (static) is

13.14 Configuring the LCD Module
To configure the LCD module.
1. Select the frame clock prescale using bits,
LP<3:0> (LCDPS<3:0>).
2. Configure the appropriate pins to function as
segment drivers using the LCDSEx registers.
3. If using the internal reference resistors for
biasing, enable the internal reference ladder
and:
Define the Mode A and Mode B interval by
using the LRLAT<2:0> bits (LCDRL<2:0>)
Define the low, medium or high ladder for
Mode A and Mode B by using the
LRLAP<1:0> bits (LCDRL<7:6>) and the
LRLBP<1:0> bits (LCDRL<5:4>),
respectively
Set the VLCDxPE bits and enable the
LCDIRE bit (LCDREF<7>)
4. Configure the following LCD module functions
using the LCDCON register:
Multiplex and Bias mode – LMUX<2:0> bits
Timing Source – CS<1:0> bits
Sleep mode – SLPEN bit
5. Write initial values to the Pixel Data registers,
LCDDATA0 through LCDDATA63.
6. Clear the LCD Interrupt Flag, LCDIF, and if
desired, enable the interrupt by setting bit,
LCDIE.
7. Enable the LCD module by setting the LCDEN
bit (LCDCON<7>)
13.15 Operation During Sleep
The LCD module can operate during Sleep. The selec-
tion is controlled by the SLPEN bit (LCDCON<6>).
Setting the SLPEN bit allows the LCD module to go to
Sleep. Clearing the SLPEN bit allows the module to
continue to operate during Sleep.
If a SLEEP instruction is executed and SLPEN = 1, the
LCD module will cease all functions and go into a very
Low-Current Consumption mode. The module will stop
operation immediately and drive the minimum LCD volt-
age on both segment and common lines. Figure 13-23
shows this operation.
The LCD module current consumption will not
decrease in this mode, but the overall consumption of
the device will be lower due to shut down of the core
and other peripheral functions.
To ensure that no DC component is introduced on the
panel, the SLEEP instruction should be executed imme-
diately after an LCD frame boundary. The LCD interrupt
can be used to determine the frame boundary. See
Section 13.13 “LCD Interrupts” for the formulas to
calculate the delay.
If a SLEEP instruction is executed and SLPEN = 0, the
module will continue to display the current contents of
the LCDDATA registers. The LCD data cannot be
changed.

14.1.1 TIMER MODE
In Timer mode, Timer0 either increments every CPU
clock cycle, or every instruction cycle, depending on
the clock select bit, TMR0CS<1:0> (T0CON<7:6>).
14.1.2 COUNTER MODE
In this mode, Timer0 is incremented via a rising or fall-
ing edge of an external source on the T0CKI pin. The
clock select bits, TMR0CS<1:0>, must be set to ‘1x’.
14.2 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 not directly readable nor
writable (see Figure 14-2). TMR0H is updated with the
contents of the high byte of Timer0 during a read of
TMR0L. This provides the ability to read all 16 bits of
Timer0 without having to verify that the read of the high
and low byte were valid, 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. The high
byte is updated with the contents of TMR0H when a
write occurs to TMR0L. This allows all 16 bits of Timer0
to be updated at once.

14.3 Prescaler
An 8-bit counter is available as a prescaler for the Timer0
module. The prescaler is not directly readable or writable.
Its value is set by the PSA and T0PS<2:0> bits
(T0CON<3:0>), which determine the prescaler
assignment and prescale ratio.
Clearing the PSA bit assigns the prescaler to the Tim-
er0 module. When it is assigned, prescale values from
1:2 through 1:256 in power-of-two increments are
selectable.
When assigned to the Timer0 module, all instructions
writing to the TMR0 register (for example, CLRF TMR0,
MOVWF TMR0, BSF TMR0) clear the prescaler count.
14.3.1 SWITCHING PRESCALER
ASSIGNMENT
The prescaler assignment is fully under software
control and can be changed “on-the-fly” during program
execution.
14.4 Timer0 Interrupt
The TMR0 interrupt is generated when the TMR0
register 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 interrupt can be masked by
clearing the TMR0IE bit (INTCON<5>). Before re-
enabling the interrupt, the TMR0IF bit must be cleared
in software by the Interrupt Service Routine (ISR).
Since Timer0 is shutdown in Sleep mode, the TMR0
interrupt cannot awaken the processor from Sleep.
Note: Writing to TMR0 when the prescaler is
assigned to Timer0 will clear the prescaler
count but will not change the prescaler
assignment.

15.0 TIMER1/3/5 MODULES
The Timer1/3/5 timer/counter modules incorporate
these features:
Software-selectable operation as a 16-bit timer or
counter
Readable and writable 8-bit registers (TMRxH
and TMRxL)
Selectable clock source (internal or external) with
device clock or SOSC Oscillator internal options
Interrupt-on-overflow
Module Reset on ECCP Special Event Trigger
A simplified block diagram of the Timer1/3/5 module is
shown in Figure 15-1.
The Timer1/3/5 module is controlled through the
TxCON register (Register 15-1). It also selects the
clock source options for the ECCP modules. (For more
information, see Section 18.1.1 “ECCP Module and
Timer Resources”).
The FOSC clock source should not be used with the
ECCP capture/compare features. If the timer will be
used with the capture or compare features, always
select one of the other timer clocking options.
Note: Throughout this section, generic references
are used for register and bit names that are the
same – except for an ‘x’ variable that indicates
the item’s association with the Timer1, Timer3
or Timer5 module. For example, the control
register is named TxCON and refers to
T1CON, T3CON and T5CON.

15.2 Timer1/3/5 Operation
Timer1, Timer3 and Timer5 can operate in these
modes:
•Timer
Synchronous Counter
Asynchronous Counter
Timer with Gated Control
The operating mode is determined by the clock select
bits, TMRxCSx (TxCON<7:6>). When the TMRxCSx bits
are cleared (= 00), Timer1/3/5 increments on every inter-
nal instruction cycle (FOSC/4). When TMRxCSx = 01, the
Timer1/3/5 clock source is the system clock (FOSC).
When it is ‘10’, Timer1/3/5 works as a counter from the
external clock from the TxCKI pin (on the rising edge after
the first falling edge) or the SOSC Oscillator. When it is
11, the Timer1/3/5 clock source is INTOSC.

15.3 Timer1/3/5 16-Bit Read/Write Mode
Timer1/3/5 can be configured for 16-bit reads and
writes (see Figure 15-3). When the RD16 control bit
(TxCON<1>) is set, the address for TMRxH is mapped
to a buffer register for the high byte of Timer1/3/5. A
read from TMRxL will load the contents of the high byte
of Timer1/3/5 into the Timerx High Byte Buffer register.
This provides users with the ability to accurately read
all 16 bits of Timer1/3/5 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 Timer1/3/5 must also take
place through the TMRxH Buffer register. The Tim-
er1/3/5 high byte is updated with the contents of
TMRxH when a write occurs to TMRxL. This allows
users to write all 16 bits to both the high and low
bytes of Timer1/3/5 at once.
The high byte of Timer1/3/5 is not directly readable or
writable in this mode. All reads and writes must take
place through the Timerx High Byte Buffer register.
Writes to TMRxH do not clear the Timer1/3/5 prescaler.
The prescaler is only cleared on writes to TMRxL.
15.4 Using the SOSC Oscillator as the
Timer1/3/5 Clock Source
The SOSC Internal Oscillator may be used as the clock
source for Timer1/3/5. It can be enabled in one of these
ways:
Setting the SOSCEN bit in either of the TxCON
registers (TxCON<3>)
Setting the SOSCGO bit in the OSCCON2
register (OSCCON2<1>)
Setting the NOSC bits to secondary clock source
in the OSCCON register (OSCCON<2:0> = 100)
The SOSCGO bit is used to warm up the SOSC so that
it is ready before any peripheral requests it.
To use it as the Timer3 clock source, the TMR3CSx bits
must also be set. As previously noted, this also config-
ures Timer3 to increment on every rising edge of the
oscillator source.
The SOSC Oscillator is described in Section 15.4
“Using the SOSC Oscillator as the Timer1/3/5 Clock
Source”.

15.5 Timer1/3/5 Gates
Timer1/3/5 can be configured to count freely or the count
can be enabled and disabled using the Timer1/3/5 gate
circuitry. This is also referred to as the Timer1/3/5 gate
count enable.
The Timer1/3/5 gate can also be driven by multiple
selectable sources.
15.5.1 TIMER1/3/5 GATE COUNT ENABLE
The Timerx Gate Enable mode is enabled by setting
the TMRxGE bit (TxGCON<7>). The polarity of the
Timerx Gate Enable mode is configured using the
TxGPOL bit (TxGCON<6>).
When Timerx Gate Enable mode is enabled, Timer1/3/5
will increment on the rising edge of the Timer1/3/5 clock
source. When Timerx Gate Enable mode is disabled, no
incrementing will occur and Timer1/3/5 will hold the
current count. See Figure 15-2 for timing details.

15.5.2 TIMER1/3/5 GATE SOURCE
SELECTION
The Timer1/3/5 gate source can be selected from one
of four different sources. Source selection is controlled
by the TxGSS<1:0> bits (TxGCON<1:0>). The polarity
for each available source is also selectable and is
controlled by the TxGPOL bit (TxGCON <6>).
TABLE 15-2: TIMER1/3/5 GATE SOURCES
15.5.2.1 TxG Pin Gate Operation
The TxG pin is one source for Timer1/3/5 gate control. It
can be used to supply an external source to the Timerx
gate circuitry.
15.5.2.2 Timer2/4/6/8 Match Gate Operation
The TMR(x+1) register will increment until it matches the
value in the PR(x+1) register. On the very next increment
cycle, TMR2 will be reset to 00h. When this Reset
occurs, a low-to-high pulse will automatically be gener-
ated and internally supplied to the Timerx gate circuitry.
The pulse will remain high for one instruction cycle and
will return back to a low state until the next match.
Depending on TxGPOL, Timerx increments differently
when TMR(x+1) matches PR(x+1). When
TxGPOL = 1, Timerx increments for a single instruction
cycle following a TMR(x+1) match with PR(x+1). When
TxGPOL = 0, Timerx increments continuously, except
for the cycle following the match, when the gate signal
goes from low-to-high.
15.5.2.3 Comparator 1 Output Gate Operation
The output of Comparator1 can be internally supplied
to the Timerx gate circuitry. After setting up
Comparator 1 with the CM1CON register, Timerx will
increment depending on the transitions of the C1OUT
(CMSTAT<0>) bit.
15.5.2.4 Comparator 2 Output Gate Operation
The output of Comparator 2 can be internally supplied
to the Timerx gate circuitry. After setting up
Comparator 2 with the CM2CON register, Timerx will
increment depending on the transitions of the C2OUT
(CMSTAT<1>) bit.
15.5.3 TIMER1/3/5 GATE TOGGLE MODE
When Timer1/3/5 Gate Toggle mode is enabled, it is pos-
sible to measure the full cycle length of a Timer1/3/5 gate
signal, as opposed to the duration of a single level pulse.
The Timerx gate source is routed through a flip-flop that
changes state on every incrementing edge of the
signal. (For timing details, see Figure 15-3.)
The TxGVAL bit will indicate when the Toggled mode is
active and the timer is counting.
Timer1/3/5 Gate Toggle mode is enabled by setting the
TxGTM bit (TxGCON<5>). When the TxGTM bit is
cleared, the flip-flop is cleared and held clear. This is
necessary in order to control which edge is measured.

15.5.4 TIMER1/3/5 GATE SINGLE PULSE
MODE
When Timer1/3/5 Gate Single Pulse mode is enabled,
it is possible to capture a single pulse gate event. Tim-
er1/3/5 Gate Single Pulse mode is first enabled by set-
ting the TxGSPM bit (TxGCON<4>). Next, the TxGGO/
TxDONE bit (TxGCON<3>) must be set.
The Timer1/3/5 will be fully enabled on the next incre-
menting edge. On the next trailing edge of the pulse,
the TxGGO/TxDONE bit will automatically be cleared.
No other gate events will be allowed to increment Tim-
er1/3/5 until the TxGGO/TxDONE bit is once again set
in software.
Clearing the TxGSPM bit also will clear the TxGGO/
TxDONE bit. (For timing details, see Figure 15-4.)
Simultaneously enabling the Toggle mode and the
Single Pulse mode will permit both sections to work
together. This allows the cycle times on the Timer1/3/5
gate source to be measured. (For timing details, see
Figure 15-5.)

15.5.5 TIMER1/3/5 GATE VALUE STATUS
When Timer1/3/5 gate value status is utilized, it is
possible to read the most current level of the gate con-
trol value. The value is stored in the TxGVAL bit
(TxGCON<2>). The TxGVAL bit is valid even when the
Timer1/3/5 gate is not enabled (TMRxGE bit is
cleared).
15.5.6 TIMER1/3/5 GATE EVENT
INTERRUPT
When the Timer1/3/5 gate event interrupt is enabled, it
is possible to generate an interrupt upon the comple-
tion of a gate event. When the falling edge of TxGVAL
occurs, the TMRxGIF flag bit in the PIRx register will be
set. If the TMRxGIE bit in the PIEx register is set, then
an interrupt will be recognized.
The TMRxGIF flag bit operates even when the Tim-
er1/3/5 gate is not enabled (TMRxGE bit is cleared).

15.6 Timer1/3/5 Interrupt
The TMRx register pair (TMRxH:TMRxL) increments
from 0000h to FFFFh and overflows to 0000h. The
Timerx interrupt, if enabled, is generated on overflow
and is latched in the interrupt flag bit, TMRxIF.
Table 15-3 gives each module’s flag bit.
This interrupt can be enabled or disabled by setting or
clearing the TMRxIE bit, respectively. Table 15-4 gives
each module’s enable bit.
15.7 Resetting Timer1/3/5 Using the
ECCP Special Event Trigger
If the ECCP modules are configured to use Timerx and
to generate a Special Event Trigger in Compare mode
(CCPxM<3:0> = 1011), this signal will reset Timerx. The
trigger from ECCP2 will also start an A/D conversion if
the A/D module is enabled (For more information, see
Section 18.3.4 “Special Event Trigger”.)
The module must be configured as either a timer or
synchronous counter to take advantage of this feature.
When used this way, the CCPRxH:CCPRxL register
pair effectively becomes a Period register for Timerx.
If Timerx is running in Asynchronous Counter mode,
the Reset operation may not work.
In the event that a write to Timerx coincides with a
Special Event Trigger from an ECCP module, the write
will take precedence.

Note: The Special Event Triggers from the

register’s content, but not set the TMR3IF
interrupt flag bit (PIR1<0>).
Note: The CCP and ECCP modules use Timers,
1 through 8, for some modes. The assign-
ment of a particular timer to a CCP/ECCP
module is determined by the Timer to CCP
enable bits in the CCPTMRSx registers.

16.0 TIMER2/4/6/8 MODULES
The Timer2/4/6/8 timer modules have the following
features:
8-Bit Timer register (TMRx)
8-Bit Period register (PRx)
Readable and Writable (all registers)
Software Programmable Prescaler (1:1, 1:4, 1:16)
Software Programmable Postscaler (1:1 to 1:16)
Interrupt on TMRx Match of PRx
The Timer2/4/6/8 modules have a control register,
shown in Register 16-1. Timer2/4/6/8 can be shut off by
clearing control bit, TMRxON (TxCON<2>), to minimize
power consumption. The prescaler and postscaler
selection of Timer2/4/6/8 also are controlled by this
register. Figure 16-1 is a simplified block diagram of the
Timer2/4/6/8 modules.
16.1 Timer2/4/6/8 Operation
Timer2/4/6/8 can be used as the PWM time base for
the PWM mode of the ECCP modules. The TMRx reg-
isters are readable and writable, and are cleared on
any device Reset. The input clock (FOSC/4) has a
prescale option of 1:1, 1:4 or 1:16, selected by control
bits, TxCKPS<1:0> (TxCON<1:0>). The match output
of TMRx goes through a four-bit postscaler (that gives
a 1:1 to 1:16 inclusive scaling) to generate a TMRx
interrupt, latched in the flag bit, TMRxIF. Tab le 1 6-1
gives each module’s flag bit.
The interrupt can be enabled or disabled by setting or
clearing the Timerx Interrupt Enable bit (TMRxIE),
shown in Tabl e 16- 2.
The prescaler and postscaler counters are cleared
when any of the following occurs:
A write to the TMRx register
A write to the TxCON register
Any device Reset – Power-on Reset (POR),
MCLR Reset, Watchdog Timer Reset (WDTR) or
Brown-out Reset (BOR)
A TMRx is not cleared when a TxCON is written.
Note: Throughout this section, generic references
are used for register and bit names that are the
same, except for an ‘x’ variable that indicates
the item’s association with the Timer2, Timer4,
Timer6 or Timer8 module. For example, the
control register is named TxCON and refers to
T2CON, T4CON, T6CON and T8CON.

ment of a particular timer to a CCP/ECCP
module is determined by the Timer to CCP
enable bits in the CCPTMRSx registers.

16.2 Timer2/4/6/8 Interrupt
The Timer2/4/6/8 modules have 8-bit Period registers,
PRx, that are both readable and writable. Timer2/4/6/8
increment from 00h until they match PR2/4/6/8 and
then reset to 00h on the next increment cycle. The PRx
registers are initialized to FFh upon Reset.
16.3 Output of TMRx
The outputs of TMRx (before the postscaler) are used
only as a PWM time base for the ECCP modules. They
are not used as baud rate clocks for the MSSPx
modules as is the Timer2 output.

17.0 REAL-TIME CLOCK AND
CALENDAR (RTCC)
The key features of the Real-Time Clock and Calendar
(RTCC) module are:
Hardware Real-Time Clock and Calendar (RTCC)
Provides hours, minutes and seconds using
24- hour format
Visibility of one-half second period
Provides calendar – weekday, date, month and
year
Alarm configurable for half a second, one second,
10 seconds, one minute, 10 minutes, one hour,
one day, one week or one month
Alarm repeat with decrementing counter
Alarm with indefinite repeat – chime
Year 2000 to 2099 leap year correction
BCD format for smaller software overhead
Optimized for long term battery operation
Fractional second synchronization
Multiple clock sources
-SOSC
-LPRC
-50 Hz
-60 Hz
User calibration of the 32.768 kHz clock crystal
frequency with periodic auto-adjust
Calibration to within ±2.64 seconds error per
month
Calibrates up to 260 ppm of crystal error
The RTCC module is intended for applications where
accurate time must be maintained for an extended
period with minimum to no intervention from the CPU.
The module is optimized for low-power usage in order
to provide extended battery life, while keeping track of
time.
The module is a 100-year clock and calendar with auto-
matic leap year detection. The range of the clock is
from 00:00:00 (midnight) on January 1, 2000 to
23:59:59 on December 31, 2099.
Hours are measured in 24-hour (military time) format.
The clock provides a granularity of one second with
half-second visibility to the user.

17.1.4 RTCEN BIT WRITE
RTCWREN (RTCCON1<5>) must be set before a write
to RTCEN can take place. Any write to the RTCEN bit,
while RTCWREN = 0, will be ignored.
Like the RTCEN bit, the RTCVALH and RTCVALL
registers can only be written to when RTCWREN = 1.
A write to these registers, while RTCWREN = 0, will be
ignored.
17.2 Operation
17.2.1 REGISTER INTERFACE
The register interface for the RTCC and alarm values is
implemented using the Binary Coded Decimal (BCD)
format. This simplifies the firmware when using the
module, as each of the digits is contained within its own
4-bit value (see Figure 17-2 and Figure 17-3).

17.2.2 CLOCK SOURCE
As mentioned earlier, the RTCC module is intended to
be clocked by an external Real-Time Clock (RTC) crys-
tal, oscillating at 32.768 kHz, but an internal oscillator
can be used. The RTCC clock selection is decided by
the RTCOSC bit (CONFIG3L<0>).
Calibration of the crystal can be done through this
module to yield an error of 3 seconds or less per month.
(For further details, see Section 17.2.9 “Calibration.)
FIGURE 17-4: CLOCK SOURCE MULTIPLEXING
17.2.2.1 Real-Time Clock Enable
The RTCC module can be clocked by an external,
32.768 kHz crystal (SOSC Oscillator) or the LF-INTOSC
Oscillator, which can be selected in CONFIG3L<0>.
If the external clock is used, the SOSC Oscillator
should be enabled. If LF-INTOSC is providing the clock,
the INTOSC clock can be brought out to the RTCC pin
by the RTSECSEL<1:0> bits (RTCCON2<1:0>).
17.2.3 DIGIT CARRY RULES
This section explains which timer values are affected
when there is a rollover:
Time of Day: From 23:59:59 to 00:00:00 with a
carry to the Day field
Month: From 12/31 to 01/01 with a carry to the
Year field
Day of Week: From 6 to 0 with no carry (see
Table 17-1)
Year Carry: From 99 to 00; this also surpasses the
use of the RTCC
For the day-to-month rollover schedule, see Table 17-2.
Because the following values are in BCD format, the
carry to the upper BCD digit occurs at the count of 10,
not 16 (SECONDS, MINUTES, HOURS, WEEKDAY,
DAYS and MONTHS).

17.2.4 LEAP YEAR
Since the year range on the RTCC module is 2000 to
2099, the leap year calculation is determined by any year
divisible by four in the above range. Only February is
affected in a leap year.
February will have 29 days in a leap year and 28 days in
any other year.
17.2.5 GENERAL FUNCTIONALITY
All Timer registers containing a time value of seconds or
greater are writable. The user configures the time by
writing the required year, month, day, hour, minutes and
seconds to the Timer registers, via register pointers.
(See Section 17.2.8 “Register Mapping”.)
The timer uses the newly written values and proceeds
with the count from the required starting point.
The RTCC is enabled by setting the RTCEN bit (RTC-
CON1<7>). If enabled, while adjusting these registers,
the timer still continues to increment. However, any time
the MINSEC register is written to, both of the timer pres-
calers are reset to ‘0’. This allows fraction of a second
synchronization.
The Timer registers are updated in the same cycle as
the WRITE instruction’s execution by the CPU. The
user must ensure that when RTCEN = 1, the updated
registers will not be incremented at the same time. This
can be accomplished in several ways:
By checking the RTCSYNC bit (RTCCON1<4>)
By checking the preceding digits from which a
carry can occur
By updating the registers immediately following
the seconds pulse (or an alarm interrupt)
The user has visibility to the half-second field of the
counter. This value is read-only and can be reset only
by writing to the lower half of the SECONDS register.
17.2.6 SAFETY WINDOW FOR REGISTER
READS AND WRITES
The RTCSYNC bit indicates a time window during
which the RTCC clock domain registers can be safely
read and written without concern about a rollover.
When RTCSYNC = 0, the registers can be safely
accessed by the CPU.
Whether RTCSYNC = 1 or 0, the user should employ a
firmware solution to ensure that the data read did not
fall on a rollover boundary, resulting in an invalid or
partial read. This firmware solution would consist of
reading each register twice and then comparing the two
values. If the two values matched, then a rollover did
not occur.
17.2.7 WRITE LOCK
In order to perform a write to any of the RTCC Timer
registers, the RTCWREN bit (RTCCON1<5>) must be
set.
To avoid accidental writes to the RTCC Timer register,
it is recommended that the RTCWREN bit
(RTCCON1<5>) be kept clear when not writing to the
register. For the RTCWREN bit to be set, there is only
one instruction cycle time window allowed between the
55h/AA sequence and the setting of RTCWREN. For
that reason, it is recommended that users follow the
code example in Example 17-1.
EXAMPLE 17-1: SETTING THE RTCWREN
BIT
17.2.8 REGISTER MAPPING
To limit the register interface, the RTCC Timer and
Alarm Timer registers are accessed through
corresponding register pointers. The RTCC Value
register window (RTCVALH and RTCVALL) uses the
RTCPTRx bits (RTCCON1<1:0>) to select the required
Timer register pair.
By reading or writing to the RTCVALH register, the
RTCC Pointer value (RTCPTR<1:0>) decrements by ‘1
until it reaches00’. When ‘00’ is reached, the
MINUTES and SECONDS value is accessible through
RTCVALH and RTCVALL until the pointer value is
manually changed.
TABLE 17-3: RTCVALH AND RTCVALL
REGISTER MAPPING
The Alarm Value register windows (ALRMVALH and
ALRMVALL) use the ALRMPTR bits (ALRMCFG<1:0>)
to select the desired Alarm register pair.
By reading or writing to the ALRMVALH register, the
Alarm Pointer value, ALRMPTR<1:0>, decrements by ‘1
until it reaches ‘00’. When it reaches ‘00’, the ALRMMIN
and ALRMSEC values are accessible through
ALRMVALH and ALRMVALL until the pointer value is
manually changed.

TABLE 17-4: ALRMVAL REGISTER
MAPPING
17.2.9 CALIBRATION
The real-time crystal input can be calibrated using the
periodic auto-adjust feature. When properly calibrated,
the RTCC can provide an error of less than three
seconds per month.
To perform this calibration, find the number of error
clock pulses and store the value into the lower half of
the RTCCAL register. The 8-bit signed value, loaded
into RTCCAL, is multiplied by four and will either be
added or subtracted from the RTCC timer, once every
minute.
To calibrate the RTCC module:
1. Use another timer resource on the device to find
the error of the 32.768 kHz crystal.
2. Convert the number of error clock pulses per
minute (see Equation 17-1).
If the oscillator is faster than ideal (negative
result from Step 2), the RCFGCALL register
value needs to be negative. This causes the
specified number of clock pulses to be
subtracted from the timer counter once every
minute.
If the oscillator is slower than ideal (positive
result from Step 2), the RCFGCALL register
value needs to be positive. This causes the
specified number of clock pulses to be added to
the timer counter once every minute.
3. Load the RTCCAL register with the correct
value.
Writes to the RTCCAL register should occur only when
the timer is turned off or immediately after the rising
edge of the seconds pulse.
17.3 Alarm
The Alarm features and characteristics are:
Configurable from half a second to one year
Enabled using the ALRMEN bit (ALRMCFG<7>,
Register 17-4)
Offers one-time and repeat alarm options
17.3.1 CONFIGURING THE ALARM
The alarm feature is enabled using the ALRMEN bit.
This bit is cleared when an alarm is issued. The bit will
not be cleared if the CHIME bit = 1 or if ALRMRPT 0.
The interval selection of the alarm is configured
through the ALRMCFG bits (AMASK<3:0>); see
Figure 17-5. These bits determine which and how
many digits of the alarm must match the clock value for
the alarm to occur.
The alarm can also be configured to repeat based on a
preconfigured interval. The number of times this
occurs, after the alarm is enabled, is stored in the
ALRMRPT register.

Note: In determining the crystal’s error value, it
is the user’s responsibility to include the
crystal’s initial error from drift due to
temperature or crystal aging.
Note: While the alarm is enabled (ALRMEN = 1),
changing any of the registers, other than
the RTCCAL, ALRMCFG and ALRMRPT
registers and the CHIME bit, can result in a
false alarm event leading to a false alarm
interrupt. To avoid this, only change the
timer and alarm values while the alarm is
disabled (ALRMEN = 0). It is recommended
that the ALRMCFG and ALRMRPT
registers and CHIME bit be changed when
RTCSYNC = 0.

FIGURE 17-5: ALARM MASK SETTINGS
When ALRMCFG = 00 and the CHIME bit = 0
(ALRMCFG<6>), the repeat function is disabled and
only a single alarm will occur. The alarm can be
repeated up to 255 times by loading the ALRMRPT
register with FFh.
After each alarm is issued, the ALRMRPT register is
decremented by one. Once the register has reached
00’, the alarm will be issued one last time.
After the alarm is issued a last time, the ALRMEN bit is
cleared automatically and the alarm turned off. Indefinite
repetition of the alarm can occur if the CHIME bit = 1.
When CHIME = 1, the alarm is not disabled when the
ALRMRPT register reaches ‘00’, but it rolls over to FF
and continues counting indefinitely.
17.3.2 ALARM INTERRUPT
At every alarm event, an interrupt is generated. Addi-
tionally, an alarm pulse output is provided that operates
at half the frequency of the alarm.
The alarm pulse output is completely synchronous with
the RTCC clock and can be used as a trigger clock to
other peripherals. This output is available on the RTCC
pin. The output pulse is a clock with a 50% duty cycle
and a frequency half that of the alarm event (see
Figure 17-6).
The RTCC pin can also output the seconds clock. The
user can select between the alarm pulse, generated by
the RTCC module, or the seconds clock output.
The RTSECSEL<1:0> bits (RTCCON2<1:0>) select
between these two outputs:
Alarm pulse – RTSECSEL<1:0> = 00
Seconds clock – RTSECSEL<1:0> = 01
Note 1: Annually, except when configured for February 29.

The Idle mode does not affect the operation of the timer
or alarm.
17.5 Reset
17.5.1 DEVICE RESET
When a device Reset occurs, the ALRMRPT register is
forced to its Reset state, causing the alarm to be
disabled (if enabled prior to the Reset). If the RTCC
was enabled, it will continue to operate when a basic
device Reset occurs.
17.5.2 POWER-ON RESET (POR)
The RTCCON1 and ALRMRPT registers are reset only
on a POR. Once the device exits the POR state, the
clock registers should be reloaded with the desired
values.
The timer prescaler values can be reset only by writing
to the SECONDS register. No device Reset can affect
the prescalers.

18.0 ENHANCED CAPTURE/
COMPARE/PWM (ECCP)
MODULE
PIC18FXXJ94 devices have three Enhanced Capture/
Compare/PWM (ECCP) modules: ECCP1, ECCP2 and
ECCP3. These modules contain a 16-bit register, which
can operate as a 16-bit Capture register, a 16-bit
Compare register or a PWM Master/Slave Duty Cycle
register. These ECCP modules are upward compatible
with CCP
ECCP1, ECCP2 and ECCP3 are implemented as stan-
dard CCP modules with enhanced PWM capabilities.
These include:
Provision for two or four output channels
Output Steering modes
Programmable polarity
Programmable dead-band control
Automatic shutdown and restart
The enhanced features are discussed in detail in
Section 18.4 “PWM (Enhanced Mode)”.
The ECCP1, ECCP2 and ECCP3 modules use the
ECCP Control registers, CCP1CON, CCP2CON and
CCP3CON. The control registers, CCP4CON through
CCP10CON, are for the modules, CCP4 through
CCP10.
Note: Throughout this section, generic references
are used for register and bit names that are
the same, except for an ‘x’ variable that indi-
cates the item’s association with the CCP1,
CCP2 or CCP3 module. For example, the
control register is named CCPxCON and
refers to CCP1CON, CCP2CON and
CCP3CON.

In addition to the expanded range of modes available
through the CCPxCON, the ECCP modules have three
additional registers associated with Enhanced PWM
operation, Pulse Steering Control and auto-shutdown
features. They are:
ECCPxDEL – Enhanced PWM x Control
PSTRxCON – Pulse Steering x Control
ECCPxAS – Auto-Shutdown x Control
18.1 ECCP Outputs and Configuration
The Enhanced CCP module may have up to four PWM
outputs, depending on the selected operating mode.
These outputs, designated as PxA through PxD, are
routed through the PPS-Lite module. Therefore, individ-
ual functions can be mapped to any of the remappable I/
O pins (RPn). The outputs that are active depend on the
ECCP operating mode selected. The pin assignments
are summarized in Table 18-3.
To configure the I/O pins as PWM outputs, the proper
PWM mode must be selected by setting the PxM<1:0>
and CCPxM<3:0> bits. The appropriate TRIS direction
bits for the port pins must also be set as outputs
Table 18-3.
18.1.1 ECCP MODULE AND TIMER
RESOURCES
The ECCP modules use Timers, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 or 8,
depending on the mode selected. These timers are
available to CCP modules in Capture, Compare or PWM
modes, as shown in Table 18-1.
TABLE 18-1: ECCP MODE – TIMER
RESOURCE
The assignment of a particular timer to a module is
determined by the timer to ECCP enable bits in the
CCPTMRS0 register (Register 18-2). The interactions
between the two modules are depicted in Figure 18-1.
Capture operations are designed to be used when the
timer is configured for Synchronous Counter mode.
Capture operations may not work as expected if the
associated timer is configured for Asynchronous Counter
mode.

18.2 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
ECCPx pin. An event is defined as one of the following:
Every falling edge
Every rising edge
Every fourth rising edge
•Every 16
th rising edge
The event is selected by the mode select bits,
CCPxM<3:0> (CCPxCON<3:0>). When a capture is
made, the interrupt request flag bit, CCPxIF, is set (see
Table 18-2). The flag must be cleared by software. If
another capture occurs before the value in the
CCPRxH/L register is read, the old captured value is
overwritten by the new captured value.
18.2.1 ECCP PIN CONFIGURATION
In Capture mode, the appropriate ECCPx pin should be
configured as an input by setting the corresponding
TRIS direction bit.
18.2.2 TIMER1/2/3/4/5/6/8 MODE
SELECTION
The timers that are to be used with the capture feature
(Timer1/2/3/4/5/6 or 8) must be running in Timer mode
or Synchronized Counter mode. In Asynchronous
Counter mode, the capture operation will not work. The
timer to be used with each ECCP module is selected in
the CCPTMRS0 register (Register 18-2).
18.2.3 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 interrupts.
The interrupt flag bit, CCPxIF, should also be cleared
following any such change in operating mode.
18.2.4 ECCP PRESCALER
There are four prescaler settings in Capture mode; they
are specified as part of the operating mode selected by
the mode select bits (CCPxM<3:0>). Whenever the
ECCP module is turned off, or Capture mode is dis-
abled, 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 cleared; therefore, the first capture may be from
a non-zero prescaler. Example 18-1 provides the
recommended method for switching between capture
prescalers. This example also clears the prescaler
counter and will not generate the “false” interrupt.

18.3 Compare Mode
In Compare mode, the 16-bit CCPRx register value is
constantly compared against the Timer register pair
value selected in the CCPTMR0 register. When a
match occurs, the ECCPx pin can be:
Driven high
•Driven low
Toggled (high-to-low or low-to-high)
Unchanged (that is, reflecting the state of the I/O
latch)
The action on the pin is based on the value of the mode
select bits (CCPxM<3:0>). At the same time, the
interrupt flag bit, CCPxIF, is set.
18.3.1 ECCPx PIN CONFIGURATION
Users must configure the ECCPx pin as an output by
clearing the appropriate TRIS bit.
18.3.2 TIMER1/2/3/4/5/6/8 MODE
SELECTION
Timer1/2/3/4, 6 or 8, must be running in Timer mode or
Synchronized Counter mode if the ECCP module is
using the compare feature. In Asynchronous Counter
mode, the compare operation will not work reliably.
18.3.3 SOFTWARE INTERRUPT MODE
When the Generate Software Interrupt mode is chosen
(CCPxM<3:0> = 1010), the ECCPx pin is not affected;
only the CCPxIF interrupt flag is affected.
18.3.4 SPECIAL EVENT TRIGGER
The ECCP module is equipped with a Special Event
Trigger. This is an internal hardware signal generated
in Compare mode to trigger actions by other modules.
The Special Event Trigger is enabled by selecting
the Compare Special Event Trigger mode
(CCPxM<3:0> = 1011).
The Special Event Trigger resets 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 programmable period register for either timer.
The Special Event Trigger can also start an A/D conver-
sion. In order to do this, the A/D Converter must
already be enabled.

ing on device configuration) to the default

18.4 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, Forward mode
Full-Bridge PWM, Reverse mode
To select an Enhanced PWM mode, the PxM bits of the
CCPxCON register must be set appropriately.
The PWM outputs are multiplexed with I/O pins and are
designated: PxA, PxB, PxC and PxD. The polarity of the
PWM pins is configurable and is selected by setting the
CCPxM bits in the CCPxCON register appropriately.
Table 18-1 provides the pin assignments for each
Enhanced PWM mode.
Figure 18-3 provides an example of a simplified block
diagram of the Enhanced PWM module.
FIGURE 18-3: EXAMPLE SIMPLIFIED BLOCK DIAGRAM OF THE ENHANCED PWM MODE
Note: To prevent the generation of an
incomplete waveform when the PWM is
first enabled, the ECCP module waits until
the start of a new PWM period before
generating a PWM signal.

18.4.1 HALF-BRIDGE MODE
In Half-Bridge mode, two pins are used as outputs to
drive push-pull loads. The PWM output signal is output
on the PxA pin, while the complementary PWM output
signal is output on the PxB pin (see Figure 18-6). This
mode can be used for half-bridge applications, as
shown in Figure 18-7, 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 PxDC<6:0> bits of
the ECCPxDEL 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. For more details
on the dead-band delay operations, see Section 18.4.6
“Programmable Dead-Band Delay Mode”.
Since the PxA and PxB outputs are multiplexed with the
PORT data latches, the associated TRIS bits must be
cleared to configure PxA and PxB as outputs.

18.4.2 FULL-BRIDGE MODE
In Full-Bridge mode, all four pins are used as outputs.
An example of a full-bridge application is provided in
Figure 18-8.
In the Forward mode, the PxA pin is driven to its active
state and the PxD pin is modulated, while the PxB and
PxC pins are driven to their inactive state, as provided in
Figure 18-9.
In the Reverse mode, the PxC pin is driven to its active
state and the PxB pin is modulated, while the PxA and
PxD pins are driven to their inactive state, as provided in
Figure 18-9.
The PxA, PxB, PxC and PxD outputs are multiplexed
with the port data latches. The associated TRIS bits
must be cleared to configure the PxA, PxB, PxC and
PxD pins as outputs.

18.4.2.1 Direction Change in Full-Bridge
Mode
In Full-Bridge mode, the PxM1 bit in the CCPxCON
register allows users to control the forward/reverse
direction. When the application firmware changes this
direction control bit, the module will change to the new
direction on the next PWM cycle.
A direction change is initiated in software by changing
the PxM1 bit of the CCPxCON register. The following
sequence occurs prior to the end of the current PWM
period:
The modulated outputs (PxB and PxD) are placed
in their inactive state.
The associated unmodulated outputs (PxA and
PxC) are switched to drive in the opposite
direction.
PWM modulation resumes at the beginning of the
next period.
For an illustration of this sequence, see Figure 18-10.
The Full-Bridge mode does not provide a dead-band
delay. As one output is modulated at a time, a dead-
band delay is generally not required. There is a situa-
tion where a dead-band delay is required. This situation
occurs when both of the following conditions are true:
The direction of the PWM output changes when
the duty cycle of the output is at or near 100%.
The turn-off time of the power switch, including
the power device and driver circuit, is greater than
the turn-on time.
Figure 18-11 shows an example of the PWM direction
changing from forward to reverse, at a near 100% duty
cycle. In this example, at time, t1, the PxA and PxD
outputs become inactive, while the PxC output
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 18-8), for the duration of ‘t’. The same
phenomenon will occur to power devices, QA and QB,
for PWM direction change from reverse to forward.
If changing PWM direction at high duty cycle is required
for an application, two possible solutions for eliminating
the shoot-through current are:
Reduce PWM duty cycle for one PWM period
before changing directions.
Use switch drivers that can drive the switches off
faster than they can drive them on.
Other options to prevent shoot-through current may
exist.

18.4.3 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 CCPxM<1:0> bits of the CCPxCON register allow
the user to choose whether the PWM output signals are
active-high or active-low for each pair of PWM output
pins (PxA/PxC and PxB/PxD). The PWM output
polarities must be selected before the PWM pin output
drivers are enabled. Changing the polarity configura-
tion while the PWM pin output drivers are enabled is
not recommended since it may result in damage to the
application circuits.
The PxA, PxB, PxC and PxD 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 application circuit. The Enhanced 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 or TMR4IF bit of the PIR1
or PIR5 register being set as the second PWM period
begins.
18.4.4 ENHANCED PWM AUTO-
SHUTDOWN MODE
The PWM mode supports an Auto-Shutdown mode 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
ECCPxAS<2:0> bits (ECCPxAS<6:4>). A shutdown
event may be generated by:
A logic ‘0on the pin that is assigned the FLT0
input function
Comparator C1
Comparator C2
Setting the ECCPxASE bit in firmware
A shutdown condition is indicated by the ECCPxASE
(Auto-Shutdown Event Status) bit (ECCPxAS<7>). If
the bit is a0’, the PWM pins are operating normally. If
the bit is a ‘1’, the PWM outputs are in the shutdown
state.

Note: When the microcontroller is released from

activates the PWM output(s).

PIC18F97J94 FAMILY
When a shutdown event occurs, two things happen:
The ECCPxASE bit is set to ‘1’. The ECCPxASE
will remain set until cleared in firmware or an
auto-restart occurs. (See Section 18.4.5 “Auto-
Restart Mode”.)
The enabled PWM pins are asynchronously
placed in their shutdown states. The PWM output
pins are grouped into pairs (PxA/PxC and PxB/
PxD). The state of each pin pair is
determined by the PSSxAC and PSSxBD bits
(ECCPxAS<3:2> and <1:0>, respectively).

auto-restart), the PWM signal will always restart at the beginning of the next PWM period.

FIGURE 18-12: PWM AUTO-SHUTDOWN WITH FIRMWARE RESTART (PxRSEN = 0)
18.4.5 AUTO-RESTART MODE
The Enhanced PWM can be configured to automatically
restart the PWM signal once the auto-shutdown condi-
tion has been removed. Auto-restart is enabled by
setting the PxRSEN bit (ECCPxDEL<7>).
If auto-restart is enabled, the ECCPxASE bit will
remain set as long as the auto-shutdown condition is
active. When the auto-shutdown condition is removed,
the ECCPxASE bit will be cleared via hardware and
normal operation will resume.
The module will wait until the next PWM period begins,
however, before re-enabling the output pin. This behav-
ior allows the auto-shutdown with auto-restart features
to be used in applications based on current mode of
PWM control.

18.4.6 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
both the upper and lower power switches are switched
at the same time (one turned on and the other turned
off), both switches may be on for a short period 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 flowing during switching, turning on either of
the 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
from destroying the bridge power switches. The delay
occurs at the signal transition from the non-active state
to the active state. For an illustration, see Figure 18-14.
The lower seven bits of the associated ECCPxDEL
register (Register 18-4) set the delay period in terms of
microcontroller instruction cycles (TCY or 4 TOSC).

18.4.7 PULSE STEERING MODE
In Single Output mode, pulse steering allows any of the
PWM pins to be the modulated signal. Additionally, the
same PWM signal can simultaneously be available on
multiple pins.
Once the Single Output mode is selected
(CCPxM<3:2> = 11 and PxM<1:0> = 00 of the
CCPxCON 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
(PSTRxCON<3:0>), as provided in Table 18-3.
While the PWM Steering mode is active, the
CCPxM<1:0> bits (CCPxCON<1:0>) select the PWM
output polarity for the Px<D:A> pins.
The PWM auto-shutdown operation also applies to the
PWM Steering mode, as described in Section 18.4.4
“Enhanced PWM Auto-shutdown mode”. An auto-
shutdown event will only affect pins that have PWM
outputs enabled.

BLOCK DIAGRAM
18.4.7.1 Steering Synchronization
The STRSYNC bit of the PSTRxCON register gives the
user two choices for 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 PSTRxCON register. In this case, the out-
put signal at the Px<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 18-17 and 18-18 illustrate the timing diagrams
of the PWM steering depending on the STRSYNC
setting.

18.4.8 OPERATION IN POWER-MANAGED
MODES
In Sleep mode, all clock sources are disabled. Timer2/
4/6/8 will not increment and the state of the module will
not change. If the ECCPx pin is driving a value, it will
continue to drive that value. When the device wakes
up, it will continue from this state. If Two-Speed Start-
ups are enabled, the initial start-up frequency from HF-
INTOSC and the postscaler may not be stable immedi-
ately.
In PRI_IDLE mode, the primary clock will continue to
clock the ECCPx module without change.
18.4.8.1 Operation with Fail-Safe
Clock Monitor (FSCM)
If the Fail-Safe Clock Monitor (FSCM) is enabled, a clock
failure will force the device into the power-managed
RC_RUN mode and the OSCFIF bit of the PIR2 register
will be set. The ECCPx will then be clocked from the
internal oscillator clock source, which may have a
different clock frequency than the primary clock.
18.4.9 EFFECTS OF A RESET
Both Power-on Reset and subsequent Resets will force
all ports to Input mode and the ECCP registers to their
Reset states.
This forces the ECCP module to reset to a state
compatible with previous, non-enhanced CCP modules
used on other PIC18 and PIC16 devices.

19.0 CAPTURE/COMPARE/PWM
(CCP) MODULES
PIC18FXXJ94 devices have seven CCP (Capture/
Compare/PWM) modules, designated CCP4 through
CCP10. All the modules implement standard Capture,
Compare and Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) modes.
Each CCP module contains a 16-bit register that can
operate as a 16-bit Capture register, a 16-bit Compare
register or a PWM Master/Slave Duty Cycle register.
For the sake of clarity, all CCP module operation in the
following sections is described with respect to CCP4,
but is equally applicable to CCP5 through CCP10.
Note: Throughout this section, generic references
are used for register and bit names that are
the same, except for an ‘x’ variable that indi-
cates the item’s association with the specific
CCP module. For example, the control
register is named CCPxCON and refers to
CCP4CON through CCP10CON.

19.1 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.
19.1.1 CCP MODULES AND TIMER
RESOURCES
The CCP modules utilize Timers, 1 through 8, that vary
with the selected mode. Various timers are available to
the CCP modules in Capture, Compare or PWM
modes, as shown in Table 19-1.
TABLE 19-1: CCP MODE – TIMER
RESOURCE
The assignment of a particular timer to a module is
determined by the timer to CCP enable bits in the
CCPTMRSx registers. (See Register 19-2 and
Register 19-3.) All of the modules may be active at
once and may share the same timer resource if they
are configured to operate in the same mode (Capture/
Compare or PWM) at the same time.
The CCPTMRS1 register selects the timers for CCP
modules, 7, 6, 5 and 4, and the CCPTMRS2 register
selects the timers for CCP modules, 10, 9 and 8. The
possible configurations are shown in Ta bl e 1 9 - 2 and
Table 19-3.

19.1.2 OPEN-DRAIN OUTPUT OPTION
When operating in Output mode (the Compare or PWM
modes), the drivers for the CCPx pins can be optionally
configured as open-drain outputs. This feature allows
the voltage level on the pin to be pulled to a higher level
through an external pull-up resistor and allows the
output to communicate with external circuits without the
need for additional level shifters.
The open-drain output option is controlled by the
CCPxOD bits (ODCON2<7:1>). Setting the appropri-
ate bit configures the pin for the corresponding module
for open-drain operation.
19.2 Capture Mode
In Capture mode, the CCPR4H:CCPR4L register pair
captures the 16-bit value of the Timer register selected
in the CCPTMRS1 when an event occurs on the CCP4
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,
CCP4M<3:0> (CCP4CON<3:0>). When a capture is
made, the interrupt request flag bit, CCP4IF (PIR4<1>),
is set. (It must be cleared in software.) If another
capture occurs before the value in CCPR4 is read, the
old captured value is overwritten by the new captured
value.
Figure 19-1 shows the Capture mode block diagram.
19.2.1 CCP PIN CONFIGURATION
In Capture mode, the appropriate CCPx pin should be
configured as an input by setting the corresponding
TRIS direction bit.
19.2.2 TIMER1/3/5/7 MODE SELECTION
For the available timers (1/3/5) to be used for the capture
feature, the used timers must be running in Timer mode
or Synchronized Counter mode. In Asynchronous
Counter mode, the capture operation will not work.
The timer to be used with each CCP module is selected
in the CCPTMRSx registers. (See Section 19.1.1 “CCP
Modules and Timer Resources.)
Details of the timer assignments for the CCP modules
are given in Ta b l e 1 9 - 2 and Table 19-3.
Note: If the CCPx pin is configured as an output,
a write to the port can cause a capture
condition.

FIGURE 19-1: CAPTURE MODE OPERATION BLOCK DIAGRAM
19.2.3 SOFTWARE INTERRUPT
When the Capture mode is changed, a false capture
interrupt may be generated. The user should keep the
CCP4IE bit (PIE4<1>) clear to avoid false interrupts
and should clear the flag bit, CCP4IF, following any
such change in operating mode.
19.2.4 CCP PRESCALER
There are four prescaler settings in Capture mode.
They are specified as part of the operating mode
selected by the mode select bits (CCP4M<3:0>).
Whenever the CCP module is turned off, or the CCP
module is not in Capture mode, 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. Doing that will also not clear the
prescaler counter – meaning the first capture may be
from a non-zero prescaler.
Example 19-1 shows the recommended method for
switching between capture prescalers. This example
also clears the prescaler counter and will not generate
the “false” interrupt.

19.3 Compare Mode
In Compare mode, the 16-bit CCPR4 register value is
constantly compared against the Timer register pair
value selected in the CCPTMR1 register. When a
match occurs, the CCP4 pin can be:
Driven high
•Driven low
Toggled (high-to-low or low-to-high)
Unchanged (that is, reflecting the state of the I/O
latch)
The action on the pin is based on the value of the mode
select bits (CCP4M<3:0>). At the same time, the
interrupt flag bit, CCP4IF, is set.
Figure 19-2 gives the Compare mode block diagram
19.3.1 CCP PIN CONFIGURATION
The user must configure the CCPx pin as an output by
clearing the appropriate TRIS bit.
19.3.2 TIMER1/3/5 MODE SELECTION
If the CCP module is using the compare feature in
conjunction with any of the Timer1/3/5 timers, the
timers must be running in Timer mode or Synchronized
Counter mode. In Asynchronous Counter mode, the
compare operation will not work.
19.3.3 SOFTWARE INTERRUPT MODE
When the Generate Software Interrupt mode is chosen
(CCP4M<3:0> = 1010), the CCP4 pin is not affected.
Only a CCP interrupt is generated, if enabled, and the
CCP4IE bit is set.
19.3.4 SPECIAL EVENT TRIGGER
Both CCP modules are equipped with a Special Event
Trigger. This is an internal hardware signal, generated
in Compare mode, to trigger actions by other modules.
The Special Event Trigger is enabled by selecting
the Compare Special Event Trigger mode
(CCP4M<3:0> = 1011).
For either CCP module, the Special Event Trigger resets
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 Programmable
Period register for either timer.
The Special Event Trigger for CCP4 cannot start an A/
D conversion.
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 PORTx I/O data
latch.
Note: Details of the timer assignments for the
CCP modules are given in Table 19-2 and
Ta b l e 1 9 - 3 .

19.4 PWM Mode
In Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) mode, the CCP4 pin
produces up to a 10-bit resolution PWM output. Since
the CCP4 pin is multiplexed with a PORTC or PORTE
data latch, the appropriate TRIS bit must be cleared to
make the CCP4 pin an output.
Figure 19-3 shows a simplified block diagram of the
CCP4 module in PWM mode.
For a step-by-step procedure on how to set up the CCP
module for PWM operation, see Section 19.4.3
“Setup for PWM Operation”.
FIGURE 19-3: SIMPLIFIED PWM BLOCK
DIAGRAM
A PWM output (Figure 19-4) has a time base (period)
and a time that the output stays high (duty cycle). The
frequency of the PWM is the inverse of the period (1/
period).
FIGURE 19-4: PWM OUTPUT
19.4.1 PWM PERIOD
The PWM period is specified by writing to the PR2
register. The PWM period can be calculated using the
following formula:
EQUATION 19-1: PWM PERIOD
CALCULATION
PWM frequency is defined as 1/[PWM period].
When TMR2 is equal to PR2, the following three events
occur on the next increment cycle:
•TMR2 is cleared
The CCP4 pin is set
(An exception: If PWM Duty Cycle = 0%, the
CCP4 pin will not be set)
The PWM duty cycle is latched from CCPR4L into
CCPR4H
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 PORTx I/O data
latch.

19.4.2 PWM DUTY CYCLE
The PWM duty cycle is specified, to use CCP4 as an
example, by writing to the CCPR4L register and to the
CCP4CON<5:4> bits. Up to 10-bit resolution is avail-
able. The CCPR4L contains the eight MSbs and the
CCP4CON<5:4> contains the two LSbs. This 10-bit
value is represented by CCPR4L:CCP4CON<5:4>.
The following equation is used to calculate the PWM
duty cycle in time:
EQUATION 19-2: PWM DUTY CYCLE
(IN TIME)
CCPR4L and CCP4CON<5:4> can be written to at any
time, but the duty cycle value is not latched into
CCPR4H until after a match between PR2 and TMR2
occurs (that is, the period is complete). In PWM mode,
CCPR4H is a read-only register.
The CCPR4H register and a two-bit internal latch are
used to double-buffer the PWM duty cycle. This
double-buffering is essential for glitchless PWM
operation.
When the CCPR4H and two-bit latch match TMR2,
concatenated with an internal two-bit Q clock or two
bits of the TMR2 prescaler, the CCP4 pin is cleared.
The maximum PWM resolution (bits) for a given PWM
frequency is given by the equation:
EQUATION 19-3: PWM RESOLUTION
TABLE 19-4: EXAMPLE PWM FREQUENCIES AND RESOLUTIONS AT 40 MHz
19.4.3 SETUP FOR PWM OPERATION
To configure the CCP module for PWM operation using
CCP4 as an example:
1. Set the PWM period by writing to the PR2
register.
2. Set the PWM duty cycle by writing to the
CCPR4L register and CCP4CON<5:4> bits.
3. Make the CCP4 pin an output by clearing the
appropriate TRIS bit.
4. Set the TMR2 prescale value, then enable Tim-
er2 by writing to T2CON.
5. Configure the CCP4 module for PWM operation.

Note: If the PWM duty cycle value is longer than
the PWM period, the CCP4 pin will not be
cleared.

20.0 MASTER SYNCHRONOUS
SERIAL PORT (MSSP)
MODULE
20.1 Master SSP (MSSP) Module
Overview
The Master Synchronous Serial Port (MSSP) module is
a serial interface, useful for communicating with other
peripheral or microcontroller devices. These peripheral
devices may be serial EEPROMs, shift registers,
display 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 with 5-bit and 7-bit address masking
(with address masking for both 10-bit and 7-bit
addressing)
All members of the PIC18FXXJ94 have two MSSP
modules, designated as MSSP1 and MSSP2. Each
module operates independently of the other.
20.2 Control Registers
Each MSSP module has four associated control regis-
ters. These include a STATUS register (SSPxSTAT)
and three control registers (SSPxCON1, SSPxCON2,
and SSPxCON3). The use of these registers and their
individual Configuration bits differ significantly depend-
ing on whether the MSSP module is operated in SPI or
I2C mode.
Additional details are provided under the individual
sections. On all PIC18F97J94 family devices, the SPI
DMA capability can only be used in conjunction with
MSSP1. The SPI DMA feature is described in
Section 20.4 “SPI DMA Module.
Note: Throughout this section, generic refer-
ences to an MSSP module in any of its
operating modes may be interpreted as
being equally applicable to MSSP1 or
MSSP2. Register names and module I/O
signals use the generic designator ‘x’ to
indicate the use of a numeral to distin-
guish a particular module when required.
Control bit names are not individuated.
Note: In devices with more than one MSSP
module, it is very important to pay close
attention to SSPxCON register names.
SSP1CON1 and SSP1CON2 control
different operational aspects of the same
module, while SSP1CON1 and SSP2CON1
control the same features for two different
modules.
Note: The SSPxBUF register cannot be used
with read-modify-write instructions, such
as BCF, COMF, etc.
To avoid lost data in Master mode, a
read of the SSPxBUF must be per-
formed to clear the Buffer Full (BF)
detect bit (SSPSTAT<0>) between each
transmission.

20.3 SPI Mode
The SPI mode allows 8 bits of data to be synchronously
transmitted and received simultaneously. All four
modes of SPI are supported. To accomplish communi-
cation, three pins are typically used. These pins must
be assigned through the PPS-Lite Configuration
registers before use.
Serial Data Out (SDOx) – Mapped to pin using
PPS-Lite Peripheral Output registers
Serial Data In (SDIx) – Mapped to pin using
PPS-Lite Peripheral Input registers
Serial Clock (SCKx) – Mapped to pin using
PPS-Lite Peripheral Input registers (for Slave
mode) or Peripheral Output registers (for Master
mode).
Additionally, a fourth pin may be used when in a Slave
mode of operation:
Slave Select (SSx) – Mapped through PPS-Lite
Peripheral Input registers
Figure 20-1 shows the block diagram of the MSSPx
module when operating in SPI mode.

20.3.1 REGISTERS
Each MSSP module has four registers for SPI mode
operation. These are:
MSSPx Control Register 1 (SSPxCON1)
MSSPx STATUS Register (SSPxSTAT)
MSSPx Control Register 3 (SSPxCON3)
Serial Receive/Transmit Buffer Register
(SSPxBUF)
MSSPx Shift Register (SSPxSR) – Not directly
accessible
SSPxCON1, SSPxCON3 and SSPxSTAT are the con-
trol and STATUS registers in SPI mode operation. The
SSPxCON1 and SSPxCON3 registers are readable
and writable. The lower 6 bits of the SSPxSTAT are
read-only. The upper two bits of the SSPxSTAT are
read/write.
SSPxSR is the shift register used for shifting data in or
out. SSPxBUF is the buffer register to which data bytes
are written to or read from.
In receive operations, SSPxSR and SSPxBUF
together, create a double-buffered receiver. When
SSPxSR receives a complete byte, it is transferred to
SSPxBUF and the SSPxIF interrupt is set.
During transmission, the SSPxBUF is not double-
buffered. A write to SSPxBUF will write to both
SSPxBUF and SSPxSR.

20.3.2 OPERATION
When initializing the SPI, several options need to be
specified. This is done by programming the appropriate
control bits (SSPxCON1<5:0> and SSPxSTAT<7:6>).
These control bits allow the following to be specified:
I/O pins must be mapped to the SPI peripheral in
order to function. See Section 11.15 “PPS-Lite”
for an explanation of the PPS-Lite mapping
feature.
Master mode (SCKx is the clock output)
Slave mode (SCKx is the clock input)
Clock Polarity (Idle state of SCKx)
Data Input Sample Phase (middle or end of data
output time)
Clock Edge (output data on rising/falling edge of
SCKx)
Clock Rate (Master mode only)
Slave Select mode (Slave mode only)
Each MSSPx module consists of a Transmit/Receive
Shift register (SSPxSR) and a Buffer register
(SSPxBUF). The SSPxSR shifts the data in and out of
the device, MSb first. The SSPxBUF holds the data that
was written to the SSPxSR until the received data is
ready. Once the 8 bits of data have been received, that
byte is moved to the SSPxBUF register. Then, the
Buffer Full detect bit, BF (SSPxSTAT<0>), and the
interrupt flag bit, SSPxIF, are set. This double-buffering
of the received data (SSPxBUF) allows the next byte to
start reception before reading the data that was just
received. Any write to the SSPxBUF register during
transmission/reception of data will be ignored and the
Write Collision Detect bit, WCOL (SSPxCON1<7>), will
be set. User software must clear the WCOL bit so that
it can be determined if the following write(s) to the
SSPxBUF register completed successfully.
When the application software is expecting to receive
valid data, the SSPxBUF should be read before the
next byte of data to transfer is written to the SSPxBUF.
The Buffer Full bit, BF (SSPxSTAT<0>), indicates when
SSPxBUF has been loaded with the received data
(transmission is complete). When the SSPxBUF is
read, the BF bit is cleared. This data may be irrelevant
if the SPI is only a transmitter. Generally, the MSSPx
interrupt is used to determine when the transmission/
reception has completed. If the interrupt method is not
going to be used, then software polling can be done to
ensure that a write collision does not occur.
Example 20-1 shows the loading of the SSPxBUF
(SSPxSR) for data transmission.
The SSPxSR is not directly readable or writable and
can only be accessed by addressing the SSPxBUF
register. Additionally, the SSPxSTAT register indicates
the various status conditions.
20.3.3 OPEN-DRAIN OUTPUT OPTION
The drivers for the SDOx output and SCKx clock pins
can be optionally configured as open-drain outputs.
This feature allows the voltage level on the pin to be
pulled to a higher level through an external pull-up
resistor, and allows the output to communicate with
external circuits without the need for additional level
shifters. For more information, see Section 11.1.3
“Open-Drain Outputs”.
The open-drain output option is controlled by the
SSPxOD bits (ODCON1<1:0>). Setting an SSPxOD bit
configures the SDOx and SCKx pins for the
corresponding module for open-drain operation.
EXAMPLE 20-1: LOADING THE SSP1BUF (SSP1SR) REGISTER
Note: To avoid lost data in Master mode, a
read of the SSPxBUF must be per-
formed to clear the Buffer Full (BF)
detect bit (SSPxSTAT<0>) between
each transmission.

PIC18F97J94 FAMILY
20.3.4 ENABLING SPI I/O
To enable the serial port, the peripheral must first be
mapped to I/O pins using the PPS-Lite feature. To
enable the SPI peripheral, the MSSPx Enable bit,
SSPEN (SSPxCON1<5>) must be set. To reset or
reconfigure SPI mode, clear the SSPEN bit, re-initialize
the SSPxCON registers and then set the SSPEN bit.
This configures the SDIx, SDOx, SCKx and SSx pins
as serial port pins. For the pins to behave as the serial
port function, some must have their data direction bits
(in the TRIS register) appropriately programmed as
follows:
SDIx is automatically controlled by the SPI
module
SDOx must have the TRIS bit cleared for the
corresponding RPn pin.
SCKx (Master mode) must have the TRIS bit
cleared for the corresponding RPn pin
SCKx (Slave mode) must have the TRIS bit set
for the corresponding RPn pin
SSx must have the TRIS bit set for the
corresponding RPn pin.
Any serial port function that is not desired may be
overridden by programming the corresponding Data
Direction (TRIS) register to the opposite value.
20.3.5 TYPICAL CONNECTION
Figure 20-2 shows a typical connection between two
microcontrollers. The master controller (Processor 1)
initiates the data transfer by sending the SCKx signal.
Data is shifted out of both shift registers on their pro-
grammed clock edge and latched on the opposite edge
of the clock. 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 dataSlave sends data
Master sends dummy dataSlave sends data

20.3.6 MASTER MODE
The master can initiate the data transfer at any time
because it controls the SCKx signal. The master deter-
mines when the slave (Processor 2, Figure 20-2) is to
broadcast data by the software protocol.
In Master mode, the data is transmitted/received as
soon as the SSPxBUF register is written to. If the SPI
is only going to receive, the SDOx output could be dis-
abled (programmed as an input). The SSPxSR register
will continue to shift in the signal present on the SDIx
pin at the programmed clock rate. As each byte is
received, it will be loaded into the SSPxBUF register as
if a normal received byte (interrupts and Status bits
appropriately set). This could be useful in receiver
applications as a “Line Activity Monitor” mode.
The clock polarity is selected by appropriately program-
ming the CKP bit (SSPxCON1<4>). This, then, would
give waveforms for SPI communication, as shown in
Figure 20-3, Figure 20-5 and Figure 20-6, 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)
•F
OSC/(4 * (SSPxADD + 1)
•FOSC/16 (or 4 • TCY)
•FOSC/64 (or 16 • TCY)
Timer2 output/2
This allows a maximum data rate (at 64 MHz) of
16.00 Mbps.
Figure 20-3 shows the waveforms for Master mode.
When the CKE bit is set, the SDOx data is valid before
there is a clock edge on SCKx. The change of the input
sample is shown based on the state of the SMP bit. The
time when the SSPxBUF is loaded with the received
data is shown.

20.3.7 SLAVE MODE
In Slave mode, the data is transmitted and received as
the external clock pulses appear on SCKx. When the
last bit is latched, the SSPxIF interrupt flag bit is set.
While in Slave mode, the external clock is supplied by
the external clock source on the SCKx 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 can be
configured to wake-up from Sleep.
20.3.8 SLAVE SELECT
SYNCHRONIZATION
The SSx pin allows a Synchronous Slave mode. The
SPI must be in Slave mode with the SSx pin control
enabled (SSPxCON1<3:0> = 04h). When the SSx pin
is low, transmission and reception are enabled and the
SDOx pin is driven. When the SSx pin goes high, the
SDOx pin is no longer driven, even if in the middle of a
transmitted byte and becomes a floating output.
External pull-up/pull-down resistors may be desirable
depending on the application.
When the SPI module resets, the bit counter is forced
to ‘0’. This can be done by either forcing the SSx pin to
a high level or clearing the SSPEN bit.
To emulate two-wire communication, the SDOx pin can
be connected to the SDIx pin. When the SPI needs to
operate as a receiver, the SDOx pin can be configured
as an input. This disables transmissions from the
SDOx. The SDIx can always be left as an input (SDIx
function) since it cannot create a bus conflict.
FIGURE 20-4: SLAVE SYNCHRONIZATION WAVEFORM
Note: When the SPI is in Slave mode with
SSx pin control enabled
(SSPxCON1<3:0> = 0100), the SPI
module will reset if the SSx pin is set to
VDD.
If the SPI is used in Slave mode with CKE
set, then the SSx pin control must be
enabled.

20.3.9 OPERATION IN POWER-MANAGED
MODES
In SPI Master mode, module clocks may be operating
at a different speed than when in full-power mode. In
the case of Sleep mode, all clocks are halted.
In Idle modes, a clock is provided to the peripherals.
That clock can be from the primary clock source, the
secondary clock (SOSC Oscillator) or the INTOSC
source.
In most cases, the speed that the master clocks SPI
data is not important; however, this should be
evaluated for each system.
If MSSPx interrupts are enabled, they can wake the
controller from Sleep mode, or one of the Idle modes,
when the master completes sending data. If an exit
from Sleep or Idle mode is not desired, MSSPx
interrupts should be disabled.
If the Sleep mode is selected, all module clocks are
halted and the transmission/reception will remain in
that state until the device wakes. After the device
returns to Run mode, the module 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 MSSPx interrupt flag bit will be set, and if
enabled, will wake the device.
20.3.10 EFFECTS OF A RESET
A Reset disables the MSSPx module and terminates
the current transfer.
20.3.11 BUS MODE COMPATIBILITY
Table 20-1 shows the compatibility between the
standard SPI modes and the states of the CKP and
CKE control bits.
TABLE 20-1: SPI BUS MODES
There is also an SMP bit which controls when the data
is sampled.
20.3.12 SPI CLOCK SPEED AND MODULE
INTERACTIONS
Because MSSP1 and MSSP2 are independent
modules, they can operate simultaneously at different
data rates. Setting the SSPM<3:0> bits of the SSPx-
CON1 register determines the rate for the
corresponding module.
An exception is when both modules use Timer2 as a
time base in Master mode. In this instance, any
changes to the Timer2 module’s operation will affect
both MSSPx modules equally. If different bit rates are
required for each module, the user should select one of
the other three time base options for one of the
modules.

20.4 SPI DMA MODULE
The SPI DMA module contains control logic to allow the
MSSP1 module to perform SPI Direct Memory Access
transfers. This enables the module to quickly transmit
or receive large amounts of data with relatively little
CPU intervention. When the SPI DMA module is used,
MSSP1 can directly read and write to general purpose
SRAM. When the SPI DMA module is not enabled,
MSSP1 functions normally, but without DMA capability.
The SPI DMA module is composed of control logic, a
Destination Receive Address Pointer, a Transmit Source
Address Pointer, an interrupt manager and a Byte Count
register for setting the size of each DMA transfer. The
DMA module may be used with all SPI Master and Slave
modes, and supports both half-duplex and full-duplex
transfers.
20.4.1 I/O PIN CONSIDERATIONS
When enabled, the SPI DMA module uses the MSSP1
module. All SPI input and output signals, related to
MSSP1, are routed through the Peripheral Pin Select
(PPS) module. The appropriate initialization procedure,
as described in Section 20.4.6 “Using the SPI DMA
Module”, will need to be followed prior to using the SPI
DMA module. The output pins assigned to the SDO
and SCK functions can optionally be configured as
open-drain outputs, such as for level shifting operations
mentioned in the same section.
20.4.2 RAM TO RAM COPY OPERATIONS
Although the SPI DMA module is primarily intended to
be used for SPI communication purposes, the module
can also be used to perform RAM to RAM copy opera-
tions. To do this, configure the module for Full-Duplex
Master mode operation, but assign the SDO output and
SDI input functions onto the same RPn pin in the PPS-
Lite module. Also assign SCK out and SCK in onto the
same RPn pin (a different pin than used for SDO and
SDI). This will allow the module to operate in Loopback
mode, providing RAM copy capability.
20.4.3 IDLE AND SLEEP
CONSIDERATIONS
The SPI DMA module remains fully functional when the
microcontroller is in Idle mode.
During normal Sleep, the SPI DMA module is not func-
tional and should not be used. To avoid corrupting a
transfer, user firmware should be careful to make
certain that pending DMA operations are complete by
polling the DMAEN bit in the DMACON1 register, prior
to putting the microcontroller into Sleep.
In SPI Slave modes, the MSSP1 module is capable of
transmitting and/or receiving one byte of data while in
Sleep mode. This allows the SSP1IF flag in the PIR1
register to be used as a wake-up source. When the
DMAEN bit is cleared, the SPI DMA module is
effectively disabled, and the MSSP1 module functions
normally, but without DMA capabilities. If the DMAEN
bit is clear prior to entering Sleep, it is still possible to
use the SSP1IF as a wake-up source without any data
loss.
Neither MSSP1 nor the SPI DMA module will provide
any functionality in Deep Sleep. Upon exiting from
Deep Sleep, all of the I/O pins, MSSP1 and SPI DMA
related registers will need to be fully re-initialized
before the SPI DMA module can be used again.
20.4.4 REGISTERS
The SPI DMA engine is enabled and controlled by the
following Special Function Registers:
DMACON1 DMACON2
TXADDRH TXADDRL
RXADDRH RXADDRL
DMABCH DMABCL
2012-2016 Microchip Technology Inc. DS30000575C-page 359
PIC18F97J94 FAMILY
20.4.4.1 DMACON1
The DMACON1 register is used to select the main
operating mode of the SPI DMA module. The SSCON1
and SSCON0 bits are used to control the slave select
pin.
When MSSP1 is used in SPI Master mode with the SPI
DMA module, SSDMA can be controlled by the DMA
module as an output pin. If MSSP1 will be used to com-
municate with an SPI slave device that needs the SSx
pin to be toggled periodically, the SPI DMA hardware
can automatically be used to de-assert SSx between
each byte, every two bytes or every four bytes.
Alternatively, user firmware can manually generate
slave select signals with normal general purpose I/O
pins, if required by the slave device(s).
When the TXINC bit is set, the TXADDR register will
automatically increment after each transmitted byte.
Automatic transmit address increment can be disabled
by clearing the TXINC bit. If the automatic transmit
address increment is disabled, each byte which is out-
put on SDO will be the same (the contents of the SRAM
pointed to by the TXADDR register) for the entire DMA
transaction.
When the RXINC bit is set, the RXADDR register will
automatically increment after each received byte.
Automatic receive address increment can be disabled
by clearing the RXINC bit. If RXINC is disabled in Full-
Duplex or Half-Duplex Receive modes, all incoming
data bytes on SDI will overwrite the same memory
location pointed to by the RXADDR register. After the
SPI DMA transaction has completed, the last received
byte will reside in the memory location pointed to by the
RXADDR register.
The SPI DMA module can be used for either half-duplex
receive only communication, half-duplex transmit only
communication or full-duplex simultaneous transmit and
receive operations. All modes are available for both SPI
master and SPI slave configurations. The DUPLEX0
and DUPLEX1 bits can be used to select the desired
operating mode.
The behavior of the DLYINTEN bit varies greatly
depending on the SPI operating mode. For example
behavior for each of the modes, see Figure 20-3
through Figure 20-6.
SPI Slave mode, DLYINTEN = 1: In this mode, an
SSP1IF interrupt will be generated during a transfer if
the time between successful byte transmission events
is longer than the value set by the DLYCYC<3:0> bits
in the DMACON2 register. This interrupt allows slave
firmware to know that the master device is taking an
unusually large amount of time between byte transmis-
sions. For example, this information may be useful for
implementing application defined communication
protocols, involving time-outs if the bus remains Idle for
too long. When DLYINTEN = 1, the DLYLVL<3:0>
interrupts occur normally according to the selected
setting.
SPI Slave mode, DLYINTEN = 0: In this mode, the
time-out based interrupt is disabled. No additional
SSP1IF interrupt events will be generated by the SPI
DMA module, other than those indicated by the
INTLVL<3:0> bits in the DMACON2 register. In this
mode, always set DLYCYC<3:0> = 0000.
SPI Master mode, DLYINTEN = 0: The DLYCYC<3:0>
bits in the DMACON2 register determine the amount of
additional inter-byte delay, which is added by the SPI
DMA module during a transfer; the Master mode SS1
output feature may be used.
SPI Master mode, DLYINTEN = 1: The amount of
hardware overhead is slightly reduced in this mode,
and the minimum inter-byte delay is 8 T
CY for FOSC/4,
9 TCY for FOSC/16 and 15 TCY for FOSC/64. This mode
can potentially be used to obtain slightly higher effec-
tive SPI bandwidth. In this mode, the SS1 control
feature cannot be used and should always be disabled
(DMACON1<7:6> = 00). Additionally, the interrupt
generating hardware (used in Slave mode) remains
active. To avoid extraneous SSP1IF interrupt events,
set the DMACON2 Delay bits, DLYCYC<3:0> = 1111,
and ensure that the SPI serial clock rate is no slower
than FOSC/64.
In SPI Master modes, the DMAEN bit is used to enable
the SPI DMA module and to initiate an SPI DMA trans-
action. After user firmware sets the DMAEN bit, the
DMA hardware will begin transmitting and/or receiving
data bytes according to the configuration used. In SPI
Slave modes, setting the DMAEN bit will finish the
initialization steps needed to prepare the SPI DMA
module for communication (which must still be initiated
by the master device).
To avoid possible data corruption, once the DMAEN bit
is set, user firmware should not attempt to modify any
of the MSSP2 or SPI DMA related registers, with the
exception of the INTLVLx bits in the DMACON2
register.
If user firmware wants to halt an ongoing DMA transac-
tion, the DMAEN bit can be manually cleared by the
firmware. Clearing the DMAEN bit while a byte is
currently being transmitted will not immediately halt the
byte in progress. Instead, any byte currently in
progress will be completed before the MSSP1 and SPI
DMA modules go back to their Idle conditions. If user
firmware clears the DMAEN bit, the TXADDR,
RXADDR and DMABC registers will no longer update,
and the DMA module will no longer make any
additional read or writes to SRAM; therefore, state
information can be lost.

20.4.4.2 DMACON2
The DMACON2 register contains control bits for
controlling interrupt generation and inter-byte delay
behavior. The INTLVL<3:0> bits are used to select
when an SSP1IF interrupt should be generated. The
function of the DLYCYC<3:0> bits depends on the SPI
operating mode (Master/Slave), as well as the
DLYINTEN setting. In SPI Master mode, the
DLYCYC<3:0> bits can be used to control how much
time the module will Idle between bytes in a transfer. By
default, the hardware requires a minimum delay of
8T
CY for FOSC/4, 9 TCY for FOSC/16 and 15 TCY for
FOSC/64. An additional delay can be added with the
DLYCYCx bits. In SPI Slave modes, the DLYCYC<3:0>
bits may optionally be used to trigger an additional
time-out based interrupt.

20.4.4.3 DMABCH and DMABCL
The DMABCH and DMABCL register pair forms a
10-bit Byte Count register, which is used by the SPI
DMA module to send/receive up to 1,024 bytes for each
DMA transaction. When the DMA module is actively
running (DMAEN = 1), the DMA Byte Count register dec-
rements after each byte is transmitted/received. The
DMA transaction will halt and the DMAEN bit will be
automatically cleared by hardware after the last byte has
completed. After a DMA transaction is complete, the
DMABC register will read 0x000.
Prior to initiating a DMA transaction by setting the
DMAEN bit, user firmware should load the appropriate
value into the DMABCH/DMABCL registers. The
DMABC is a “base zero” counter, so the actual number
of bytes which will be transmitted follows in
Equation 20-1.
For example, if user firmware wants to transmit 7 bytes
in one transaction, DMABC should be loaded with
006h. Similarly, if user firmware wishes to transmit
1,024 bytes, DMABC should be loaded with 3FFh.

FOR A GIVEN DMABC
20.4.4.4 TXADDRH and TXADDRL
The TXADDRH and TXADDRL registers pair together
to form a 12-bit Transmit Source Address Pointer
register. In modes that use TXADDR (Full-Duplex and
Half-Duplex Transmit), the TXADDR will be incre-
mented after each byte is transmitted. Transmitted data
bytes will be taken from the memory location pointed to
by the TXADDR register. The contents of the memory
locations pointed to by TXADDR will not be modified by
the DMA module during a transmission.
The SPI DMA module can read from, and transmit data
from, all general purpose memory on the device, includ-
ing memory used for USB endpoint buffers. The SPI
DMA module cannot be used to read from the Special
Function Registers (SFRs) contained in Banks 14
and 15.
20.4.4.5 RXADDRH and RXADDRL
The RXADDRH and RXADDRL registers pair together
to form a 12-bit Receive Destination Address Pointer.
In modes that use RXADDR (Full-Duplex and Half-
Duplex Receive), the RXADDR register will be
incremented after each byte is received. Received data
bytes will be stored at the memory location pointed to
by the RXADDR register.

The SPI DMA module can write received data to all
general purpose memory on the device, including
memory used for USB endpoint buffers. The SPI DMA
module cannot be used to modify the Special Function
Registers contained in Banks 14 and 15.
20.4.5 INTERRUPTS
The SPI DMA module alters the behavior of the
SSP1IF interrupt flag. In normal non-DMA modes, the
SSP1IF is set once after every single byte is transmit-
ted/received through the MSSP1 module. When
MSSP1 is used with the SPI DMA module, the SSP1IF
interrupt flag will be set according to the user-selected
INTLVL<3:0> value specified in the DMACON2
register. The SSP1IF interrupt condition will also be
generated once the SPI DMA transaction has fully
completed and the DMAEN bit has been cleared by
hardware.
The SSP1IF flag becomes set once the DMA byte count
value indicates that the specified INTLVLx has been
reached. For example, if DMACON2<3:0> = 0101
(16 bytes remaining), the SSP1IF interrupt flag will
become set once DMABC reaches 00Fh. If user
firmware then clears the SSP1IF interrupt flag, the flag
will not be set again by the hardware until after all bytes
have been fully transmitted and the DMA transaction is
complete.
For example, if DMABC = 00Fh (implying 16 bytes are
remaining) and user firmware writes ‘1111’ to
INTLVL<3:0> (interrupt when 576 bytes are remaining),
the SSP1IF interrupt flag will immediately become set.
If user firmware clears this interrupt flag, a new inter-
rupt condition will not be generated until either: user
firmware again writes INTLVLx with an interrupt level
higher than the actual remaining level, or the DMA
transaction completes and the DMAEN bit is cleared.
Note: User firmware may modify the INTLVLx
bits while a DMA transaction is in progress
(DMAEN = 1). If an INTLVLx value is
selected which is higher than the actual
remaining number of bytes (indicated by
DMABC + 1), the SSP1IF interrupt flag
will immediately become set.
Note: If the INTLVLx bits are modified while a
DMA transaction is in progress, care
should be taken to avoid inadvertently
changing the DLYCYC<3:0> value.

20.4.6 USING THE SPI DMA MODULE
The following steps would typically be taken to enable
and use the SPI DMA module:
1. Configure the I/O pins, which will be used by
MSSP2:
a) Assign SCK1, SDO1, SDI1 and SS1 to the
RPn pins, as appropriate for the SPI mode
which will be used. Only functions which will
be used need to be assigned to a pin.
b) Initialize the associated LATx registers for
the desired Idle SPI bus state.
c) If Open-Drain Output mode on SDO1 and
SCK1 (Master mode) is desired, set
ODCON1<1>.
d) Configure the corresponding TRISx bits for
each I/O pin used.
2. Configure and enable MSSP1 for the desired
SPI operating mode:
a) Select the desired operating mode (Master
or Slave, SPI Mode 0, 1, 2 and 3) and con-
figure the module by writing to the
SSP1STAT and SSP1CON1 registers.
b) Enable MSSP1 by setting
SSP1CON1<5> = 1.
3. Configure the SPI DMA engine:
a) Select the desired operating mode by
writing the appropriate values to DMA-
CON2 and DMACON1.
b) Initialize the TXADDRH/TXADDRL Pointer
(Full-Duplex or Half-Duplex Transmit Only
mode).
c) Initialize the RXADDRH/RXADDRL Pointer
(Full-Duplex or Half-Duplex Receive Only
mode).
d) Initialize the DMABCH/DMABCL Byte
Count register with the number of bytes to
be transferred in the next SPI DMA
operation.
e) Set the DMAEN bit (DMACON1<0>).
In SPI Master modes, this will initiate a DMA
transaction. In SPI Slave modes, this will com-
plete the initialization process, and the module
will now be ready to begin receiving and/or
transmitting data to the master device once the
master starts the transaction.
4. Detect the SSP1IF interrupt condition (PIR1<3):
a) If the interrupt was configured to occur at
the completion of the SPI DMA transaction,
the DMAEN bit (DMACON1<0>) will be
clear. User firmware may prepare the
module for another transaction by repeating
Steps 3.b through 3.e.
b) If the interrupt was configured to occur prior
to the completion of the SPI DMA trans-
action, the DMAEN bit may still be set,
indicating the transaction is still in progress.
User firmware would typically use this inter-
rupt condition to begin preparing new data
for the next DMA transaction. Firmware
should not repeat Steps 3.b. through 3.e.
until the DMAEN bit is cleared by the
hardware, indicating the transaction is
complete.
Example 20-3 provides example code, demonstrating
the initialization process and the steps needed to use
the SPI DMA module to perform a 512-byte Full-Duplex
Master mode transfer.

20.5 I2C Mode
The MSSPx 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 MSSPx module implements the standard
mode specifications, as well as 7-bit and 10-bit
addressing.
Two pins are used for data transfer:
Serial Clock (SCLx) – RC3/SCL1 or RD6/SCL2
Serial Data (SDAx) – RC4/SDA1 or RD5/SDA2
The user must configure these pins as inputs by setting
the associated TRIS bits.
FIGURE 20-7: MSSPx BLOCK DIAGRAM
(I2C MODE)
20.5.1 REGISTERS
The MSSPx module has seven registers for I2C
operation. These are:
MSSPx Control Register 1 (SSPxCON1)
MSSPx Control Register 2 (SSPxCON2)
MSSPx Control Register 3 (SSPxCON3)
MSSPx STATUS Register (SSPxSTAT)
Serial Receive/Transmit Buffer Register
(SSPxBUF)
MSSPx Shift Register (SSPxSR) – Not directly
accessible
MSSPx Address Register (SSPxADD)
•I
2C Slave Address Mask Register (SSPxMSK)
SSPxCON1, SSPxCON2, SSPxCON3 and SSPxSTAT
are the control and STATUS registers in I2C mode
operation. The SSPxCON1, SSPxCON2, and SSPx-
CON3 registers are readable and writable. The lower 6
bits of the SSPxSTAT are read-only. The upper two bits
of the SSPxSTAT are read/write.
SSPxSR is the shift register used for shifting data in or
out. SSPxBUF is the buffer register to which data bytes
are written to or read from.
SSPxADD contains the slave device address when the
MSSPx is configured in I2C Slave mode. When the
MSSPx is configured in Master mode, the lower seven
bits of SSPxADD act as the Baud Rate Generator
reload value.
SSPxMSK holds the slave address mask value when
the module is configured for 7-Bit Address Masking
mode. While it is a separate register, it shares the same
SFR address as SSPxADD; it is only accessible when
the SSPM<3:0> bits are specifically set to permit
access. Additional details are provided in
Section 20.5.4.3 “7-Bit Address Masking Mode”.
In receive operations, SSPxSR and SSPxBUF
together, create a double-buffered receiver. When
SSPxSR receives a complete byte, it is transferred to
SSPxBUF and the SSPxIF interrupt is set.
During transmission, the SSPxBUF is not double-
buffered. A write to SSPxBUF will write to both
SSPxBUF and SSPxSR.

20.5.2 OPERATION
The MSSPx module functions are enabled by setting
the MSSPx Enable bit, SSPEN (SSPxCON1<5>).
The SSPxCON1 register allows control of the I2C oper-
ation. Four mode selection bits (SSPxCON1<3:0>)
allow one of the following I2C modes to be selected:
•I
2C Master mode, clock
•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 SCLx and SDAx pins to be open-drain, pro-
vided these pins are programmed as inputs by setting
the appropriate TRISC or TRISD bits. To ensure proper
operation of the module, pull-up resistors must be
provided externally to the SCLx and SDAx pins.
20.5.3 SLAVE MODE
In Slave mode, the SCLx and SDAx pins must be
configured as inputs (TRISC<4:3> set). The MSSPx
module will override the input state with the output data
when required (slave-transmitter).
The I2C Slave mode hardware will always generate an
interrupt on an address match. Address masking will
allow the hardware to generate an interrupt for more
than one address (up to 31 in 7-bit addressing and up
to 63 in 10-bit addressing). Through the mode select
bits, the user can also choose to interrupt on Start and
Stop bits.
When an address is matched, or the data transfer after
an address match is received, the hardware auto-
matically will generate the Acknowledge (ACK) pulse
and load the SSPxBUF register with the received value
currently in the SSPxSR register.
Any combination of the following conditions will cause
the MSSPx module not to give this ACK pulse:
The Buffer Full bit, BF (SSPxSTAT<0>), was set
before the transfer was received.
The overflow bit, SSPOV (SSPxCON1<6>), was
set before the transfer was received.
In this case, the SSPxSR register value is not loaded
into the SSPxBUF, but bit, SSPxIF, is set. The BF bit is
cleared by reading the SSPxBUF register, while bit,
SSPOV, is cleared through software.
The SCLx clock input must have a minimum high and
low for proper operation. The high and low times of the
I2C specification, as well as the requirement of the
MSSPx module, are shown in timing Parameter 100
and Parameter 101.
20.5.4 ADDRESSING
Once the MSSPx module has been enabled, it waits for
a Start condition to occur. Following the Start condition,
the 8 bits are shifted into the SSPxSR register. All
incoming bits are sampled with the rising edge of the
clock (SCLx) line. The value of register, SSPxSR<7:1>,
is compared to the value of the SSPxADD register. The
address is compared on the falling edge of the eighth
clock (SCLx) pulse. If the addresses match, and the BF
and SSPOV bits are clear, the following events occur:
1. The SSPxSR register value is loaded into the
SSPxBUF register.
2. The Buffer Full bit, BF, is set.
3. An ACK pulse is generated.
4. The MSSPx Interrupt Flag bit, SSPxIF, is set
(and interrupt is generated if enabled) on the
falling edge of the ninth SCLx pulse.
In 10-Bit Addressing 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. The R/W (SSPxSTAT<2>) bit 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’, whereA9’ and ‘A8’ are the
two MSbs of the address. The sequence of events for
10-bit addressing is as follows, with Steps 7 through 9
for the slave-transmitter:
1. Receive first (high) byte of address (bits,
SSPxIF, BF and UA, are set on address match).
2. Update the SSPxADD register with second (low)
byte of address (clears bit, UA, and releases the
SCLx line).
3. Read the SSPxBUF register (clears bit, BF) and
clear flag bit, SSPxIF.
4. Receive second (low) byte of address (bits,
SSPxIF, BF and UA, are set).
5. Update the SSPxADD register with the first
(high) byte of address. If match releases SCLx
line, this will clear bit, UA.
6. Read the SSPxBUF register (clears bit, BF) and
clear flag bit SSPxIF.
7. Receive Repeated Start condition.
8. Receive first (high) byte of address (bits,
SSPxIF and BF, are set).
9. Read the SSPxBUF register (clears bit, BF) and
clear flag bit, SSPxIF.

20.5.4.1 Address Masking Modes
Masking an address bit causes that bit to become a
“don’t care”. When one address bit is masked, two
addresses will be Acknowledged and cause an inter-
rupt. It is possible to mask more than one address bit at
a time, which greatly expands the number of addresses
Acknowledged.
The I2C slave behaves the same way, whether address
masking is used or not. However, when address mask-
ing is used, the I2C slave can Acknowledge multiple
addresses and cause interrupts. When this occurs, it is
necessary to determine which address caused the
interrupt by checking the SSPxBUF.
The PIC18FXXJ94 of devices is capable of using two
different Address Masking modes in I2C slave opera-
tion: 5-Bit Address Masking and 7-Bit Address Mask-
ing. The Masking mode is selected at device
configuration using the MSSPMSK<2:1> Configuration
bits. The default device configuration is 7-Bit Address
Masking.
Both Masking modes, in turn, support address masking
of 7-bit and 10-bit addresses. The combination of
Masking modes and addresses provides different
ranges of Acknowledgable addresses for each
combination.
While both Masking modes function in roughly the
same manner, the way they use address masks are
different.
20.5.4.2 5-Bit Address Masking Mode
As the name implies, 5-Bit Address Masking mode
uses an address mask of up to 5 bits to create a range
of addresses to be Acknowledged, using bits, 5 through
1, of the incoming address. This allows the module to
Acknowledge up to 31 addresses when using 7-bit
addressing, or 63 addresses with 10-bit addressing
(see Example 20-3). This Masking mode is selected
when the MSSPMSK<2:1> Configuration bits are
programmed (‘00’).
The address mask in this mode is stored in the SSPx-
CON2 register, which stops functioning as a control
register in I2C Slave mode (Register 20-10). In 7-Bit
Address Masking mode, Address Mask bits, MSK<5:1>
(SSPxMSK<5:1>), mask the corresponding address
bits in the SSPxADD register. For any MSK bits that are
set (MSK<n> = 1), the corresponding address bit is
ignored (SSPxADD<n> = x). For the module to issue
an address Acknowledge, it is sufficient to match only
on addresses that do not have an active address mask.
In 10-Bit Address Masking mode, the MSK<5:2> bits
mask the corresponding address bits in the SSPxADD
register. In addition, MSK1 simultaneously masks the
two LSbs of the address (SSPxADD<1:0>). For any
MSKx bits that are active (MSK<n> = 1), the corre-
sponding address bit is ignored (SPxADD<n> = x).
Also note that although in 10-Bit Address Masking
mode, the upper address bits re-use part of the
SSPxADD register bits. The address mask bits do not
interact with those bits; they only affect the lower
address bits.
EXAMPLE 20-3: ADDRESS MASKING EXAMPLES IN 5-BIT MASKING MODE
Note 1: MSK1 masks the two Least Significant bits
of the address.
2: The two Most Significant bits of the
address are not affected by address
masking.
7-Bit Addressing:
SSPxADD<7:1>= A0h (1010000) (SSPxADD<0> is assumed to be ‘0’)
MSK<5:1>= 00111
Addresses Acknowledged: A0h, A2h, A4h, A6h, A8h, AAh, ACh, AEh
10-Bit Addressing:
SSPxADD<7:0> = A0h (10100000) (The two MSb of the address are ignored in this example, since
they are not affected by masking.)
MSK<5:1> = 00111
Addresses Acknowledged: A0h, A1h, A2h, A3h, A4h, A5h, A6h, A7h, A8h, A9h, AAh, ABh, ACh, ADh,
AEh, AFh

DS30000575C-page 378 2012-2016 Microchip Technology Inc.
20.5.4.3 7-Bit Address Masking Mode
Unlike 5-bit masking, 7-Bit Address Masking mode
uses a mask of up to 8 bits (in 10-bit addressing) to
define a range of addresses that can be Acknowl-
edged, using the lowest bits of the incoming address.
This allows the module to Acknowledge up to
127 different addresses with 7-bit addressing, or 255
with 10-bit addressing (see Example 20-4). This mode
is the default configuration of the module, which is
selected when MSSPMSK<2:1> are unprogrammed
(‘1’).
The address mask for 7-Bit Address Masking mode is
stored in the SSPxMSK register, instead of the SSPx-
CON2 register. SSPxMSK is a separate hardware reg-
ister within the module, but it is not directly
addressable. Instead, it shares an address in the SFR
space with the SSPxADD register. To access the
SSPxMSK register, it is necessary to select MSSP
mode,1001’ (SSPxCON1<3:0> = 1001) and then
read or write to the location of SSPxADD.
To use 7-Bit Address Masking mode, it is necessary to
initialize SSPxMSK with a value before selecting the
I2C Slave Addressing mode. Thus, the required
sequence of events is:
1. Select SSPxMSK Access mode (SSPx-
CON2<3:0> = 1001).
2. Write the mask value to the appropriate
SSPxADD register address (FC8h for MSSP1,
F6Eh for MSSP2).
3. Set the appropriate I2C Slave mode (SSPx-
CON2<3:0> = 0111 for 10-bit addressing, 0110
for 7-bit addressing).
Setting or clearing mask bits in SSPxMSK behaves in
the opposite manner of the MSKx bits in 5-Bit Address
Masking mode. That is, clearing a bit in SSPxMSK
causes the corresponding address bit to be masked;
setting the bit requires a match in that position.
SSPxMSK resets to all ‘1’s upon any Reset condition,
and therefore, has no effect on the standard MSSP
operation until written with a mask value.
With 7-bit addressing, SSPxMSK<7:1> bits mask the
corresponding address bits in the SSPxADD register.
For any SSPxMSK bits that are active
(SSPxMSK<n> = 0), the corresponding SSPxADD
address bit is ignored (SSPxADD<n> = x). For the
module to issue an address Acknowledge, it is
sufficient to match only on addresses that do not have
an active address mask.
With 10-bit addressing, SSPxMSK<7:0> bits mask the
corresponding address bits in the SSPxADD register.
For any SSPxMSK bits that are active (= 0), the corre-
sponding SSPxADD address bit is ignored
(SSPxADD<n> = x).
EXAMPLE 20-4: ADDRESS MASKING EXAMPLES IN 7-BIT MASKING MODE
Note: The two Most Significant bits of the
address are not affected by address
masking.
7-Bit Addressing:
SSPxADD<7:1> = 1010 000
SSPxMSK<7:1> = 1111 001
Addresses Acknowledged = ACh, A8h, A4h, A0h
10-Bit Addressing:
SSPxADD<7:0> = 1010 0000 (The two MSb are ignored in this example since they are not affected)
SSPxMSK<5:1> = 1111 0011
Addresses Acknowledged = ACh, A8h, A4h, A0h

20.5.5 RECEPTION
When the R/W bit of the address byte is clear and an
address match occurs, the R/W bit of the SSPxSTAT
register is cleared. The received address is loaded into
the SSPxBUF register and the SDAx line is held low
(ACK).
When the address byte overflow condition exists, then
the no Acknowledge (ACK) pulse is given. An overflow
condition is defined if either bit, BF (SSPxSTAT<0>), is
set or bit, SSPOV (SSPxCON1<6>), is set.
An MSSPx interrupt is generated for each data transfer
byte. The interrupt flag bit, SSPxIF, must be cleared in
software. The SSPxSTAT register is used to determine
the status of the byte.
If SEN is enabled (SSPxCON2<0> = 1), SCLx will be
held low (clock stretch) following each data transfer.
The clock must be released by setting bit, CKP (SSPx-
CON1<4>). See Section 20.5.7 “Clock Stretching”
for more details.
20.5.6 TRANSMISSION
When the R/W bit of the incoming address byte is set
and an address match occurs, the R/W bit of the
SSPxSTAT register is set. The received address is
loaded into the SSPxBUF register. The ACK pulse will
be sent on the ninth bit and pin, SCLx, is held low
regardless of SEN (see Section 20.5.7 “Clock
Stretching” for more details). By stretching the clock,
the master will be unable to assert another clock pulse
until the slave is done preparing the transmit data. The
transmit data must be loaded into the SSPxBUF regis-
ter which also loads the SSPxSR register. Then, pin,
SCLx, should be enabled by setting bit, CKP (SSPx-
CON1<4>). The eight data bits are shifted out on the
falling edge of the SCLx input. This ensures that the
SDAx signal is valid during the SCLx high time
(Figure 20-10).
The ACK pulse from the master-receiver is latched on
the rising edge of the ninth SCLx input pulse. If the
SDAx line is high (not ACK), then the data transfer is
complete. In this case, when the ACK is latched by the
slave, the slave logic is reset and the slave monitors for
another occurrence of the Start bit. If the SDAx line was
low (ACK), the next transmit data must be loaded into
the SSPxBUF register. Again, pin SCLx must be
enabled by setting bit, CKP.
An MSSPx interrupt is generated for each data transfer
byte. The SSPxIF bit must be cleared in software and
the SSPxSTAT register is used to determine the status
of the byte. The SSPxIF bit is set on the falling edge of
the ninth clock pulse.

20.5.7 CLOCK STRETCHING
Both 7-Bit and 10-Bit Slave modes implement
automatic clock stretching during a transmit sequence.
The SEN bit (SSPxCON2<0>) allows clock stretching
to be enabled during receives. Setting SEN will cause
the SCLx pin to be held low at the end of each data
receive sequence.
20.5.7.1 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 in the SSPxCON1 register is auto-
matically cleared, forcing the SCLx output to be held
low. The CKP bit, being cleared to ‘0’, will assert the
SCLx line low. The CKP bit must be set in the user’s
ISR before reception is allowed to continue. By holding
the SCLx line low, the user has time to service the ISR
and read the contents of the SSPxBUF before the mas-
ter device can initiate another receive sequence. This
will prevent buffer overruns from occurring (see
Figure 20-15).
20.5.7.2 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 cleared. During this time, if the UA bit is
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
SSPxADD. Clock stretching will occur on each data
receive sequence as described in 7-bit mode.
20.5.7.3 Clock Stretching for 7-Bit Slave
Transmit Mode
The 7-Bit Slave Transmit mode implements clock
stretching 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 SCLx line
low, the user has time to service the ISR and load the
contents of the SSPxBUF before the master device can
initiate another transmit sequence (see Figure 20-10).
20.5.7.4 Clock Stretching for 10-Bit Slave
Transmit Mode
In 10-Bit Slave Transmit mode, clock stretching is
controlled during the first two address sequences by
the state of the UA bit, just as it is in 10-Bit Slave
Receive mode. The first two addresses are followed by
a third address sequence, which contains the high-
order bits of the 10-bit address and the R/W bit set to
1’. After the third address sequence is performed, the
UA bit is not set, the module is now configured in
Transmit mode and clock stretching is controlled by
the BF flag as in 7-Bit Slave Transmit mode (see
Figure 20-13).
Note 1: If the user reads the contents of the
SSPxBUF before the falling edge of the
ninth clock, thus clearing the BF bit, the
CKP bit will not be cleared and clock
stretching will not occur.
2: The CKP bit can be set in software
regardless of the state of the BF bit. The
user should be careful to clear the BF bit
in the ISR before the next receive
sequence in order to prevent an overflow
condition.
Note: If the user polls the UA bit and clears it by
updating the SSPxADD register before the
falling edge of the ninth clock occurs, and
if the user hasn’t cleared the BF bit by
reading the SSPxBUF 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 loads the contents of
SSPxBUF, setting the BF bit before the
falling edge of the ninth clock, the CKP bit
will not be cleared and clock stretching
will not occur.
2: The CKP bit can be set in software,
regardless of the state of the BF bit.

PIC18F97J94 FAMILY
20.5.7.5 Clock Synchronization and
the CKP bit
When the CKP bit is cleared, the SCLx output is forced
to ‘0’. However, clearing the CKP bit will not assert the
SCLx output low until the SCLx output is already
sampled low. Therefore, the CKP bit will not assert the
SCLx line until an external I2C master device has
already asserted the SCLx line. The SCLx output will
remain low until the CKP bit is set and all other devices
on the I2C bus have deasserted SCLx. This ensures
that a write to the CKP bit will not violate the minimum
high time requirement for SCLx (see Figure 20-14).

20.5.8 GENERAL CALL ADDRESS
SUPPORT
The addressing procedure for the I2C bus is such that
the first byte after the Start condition usually
determines which device will be the slave addressed by
the master. The exception is the general call address
which can address all devices. When this address is
used, all devices should, in theory, respond with an
Acknowledge.
The general call address is one of eight addresses
reserved for specific purposes by the I2C protocol. It
consists of all ‘0s with R/W = 0.
The general call address is recognized when the
General Call Enable bit, GCEN, is enabled (SSPx-
CON2<7> set). Following a Start bit detect, eight bits
are shifted into the SSPxSR and the address is
compared against the SSPxADD. It is also compared to
the general call address and fixed in hardware.
If the general call address matches, the SSPxSR is
transferred to the SSPxBUF, the BF flag bit is set
(eighth bit), and on the falling edge of the ninth bit (ACK
bit), the SSPxIF interrupt flag bit is set.
When the interrupt is serviced, the source for the
interrupt can be checked by reading the contents of the
SSPxBUF. The value can be used to determine if the
address was device-specific or a general call address.
In 10-Bit Addressing mode, the SSPxADD is required to
be updated for the second half of the address to match
and the UA bit is set (SSPxSTAT<1>). If the general call
address is sampled when the GCEN bit is set, while the
slave is configured in 10-Bit Addressing 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 20-17).

20.5.9 MASTER MODE
Master mode is enabled by setting and clearing the
appropriate SSPMx bits in SSPxCON1, and by setting
the SSPEN bit. In Master mode, the SCLx and SDAx
lines are manipulated by the MSSPx hardware if the
TRIS bits are set.
The Master mode of operation is supported by interrupt
generation on the detection of the Start and Stop
conditions. The Stop (P) and Start (S) bits are cleared
from a Reset or when the MSSPx module is disabled.
Control of the I2C bus may be taken when the P bit is
set, or the bus is Idle, with both the S and P bits clear.
In 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 SDAx and SCLx.
2. Assert a Repeated Start condition on SDAx and
SCLx.
3. Write to the SSPxBUF 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 SDAx and SCLx.
The following events will cause the MSSPx Interrupt
Flag bit, SSPxIF, to be set (and MSSPx interrupt if
enabled):
Start condition
Stop condition
Data transfer byte transmitted/received
Acknowledge transmitted
Repeated Start
FIGURE 20-18: MSSPx BLOCK DIAGRAM (I2C MASTER MODE)
Note: The MSSPx module, when configured in
I2C Master mode, does not allow queueing
of events. For instance, the user is not
allowed to initiate a Start condition and
immediately write the SSPxBUF register
to initiate transmission before the Start
condition is complete. In this case, the
SSPxBUF will not be written to and the
WCOL bit will be set, indicating that a write
to the SSPxBUF did not occur.

20.5.9.1 I2C Master Mode Operation
The master device generates all of the serial clock
pulses and the Start and Stop conditions. A transfer is
ended with a Stop condition or with a Repeated Start
condition. Since the Repeated Start condition is also
the beginning of the next serial transfer, the I2C bus will
not be released.
In Master Transmitter mode, serial data is output
through SDAx while SCLx outputs the serial clock. The
first byte transmitted contains the slave address of the
receiving device (7 bits) and the Read/Write (R/W) bit.
In this case, the R/W bit will be logic ‘0. Serial data is
transmitted, 8 bits at a time. After each byte is transmit-
ted, an Acknowledge bit is received. Start and Stop
conditions are output to indicate the beginning and the
end of a serial transfer.
In Master Receive mode, the first byte transmitted
contains the slave address of the transmitting device
(7 bits) and the R/W bit. In this case, the R/W bit will be
logic ‘1’. Thus, the first byte transmitted is a 7-bit slave
address, followed by a ‘1’ to indicate the receive bit.
Serial data is received via SDAx, while SCLx outputs
the serial clock. Serial data is received, 8 bits at a time.
After each byte is received, an Acknowledge bit is
transmitted. Start and Stop conditions indicate the
beginning and end of transmission.
The Baud Rate Generator, used for the SPI mode
operation, is used to set the SCLx clock frequency for
either 100 kHz, 400 kHz or 1 MHz I2C operation. See
Section 20.5.10 “Baud Rate” for more details.
A typical transmit sequence would go as follows:
1. The user generates a Start condition by setting
the Start Enable bit, SEN (SSPxCON2<0>).
2. SSPxIF is set. The MSSPx module will wait the

20.5.10 BAUD RATE
In I2C Master mode, the Baud Rate Generator (BRG)
reload value is placed in the lower 7 bits of the
SSPxADD register (Figure 20-19). When a write
occurs to SSPxBUF, the Baud Rate Generator will
automatically begin counting. The BRG counts down to
0 and stops until another reload has taken place. The
BRG count is decremented, twice per instruction cycle
(T
CY), on the Q2 and Q4 clocks. In I2C Master mode,
the BRG is reloaded automatically.
Once the given operation is complete (i.e., transmis-
sion of the last data bit is followed by ACK), the internal
clock will automatically stop counting and the SCLx pin
will remain in its last state.
Table 20-2 demonstrates clock rates based on
instruction cycles and the BRG value loaded into
SSPxADD. The SSPxADD BRG value of ‘0x00’ is not
supported.
20.5.10.1 Baud Rate and Module
Interdependence
Because MSSP1 and MSSP2 are independent, they
can operate simultaneously in I2C Master mode at
different baud rates. This is done by using different
BRG reload values for each module.
Because this mode derives its basic clock source from
the system clock, any changes to the clock will affect
both modules in the same proportion. It may be
possible to change one or both baud rates back to a
previous value by changing the BRG reload value.

20.5.10.2 Clock Arbitration
Clock arbitration occurs when the master, during any
receive, transmit or Repeated Start/Stop condition,
deasserts the SCLx pin (SCLx allowed to float high).
When the SCLx pin is allowed to float high, the Baud
Rate Generator (BRG) is suspended from counting
until the SCLx pin is actually sampled high. When the
SCLx pin is sampled high, the Baud Rate Generator is
reloaded with the contents of SSPxADD<6:0> and
begins counting. This ensures that the SCLx 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 20-20).

20.5.11 I2C MASTER MODE START
CONDITION TIMING
To initiate a Start condition, the user sets the Start
Enable bit, SEN (SSPxCON2<0>). If the SDAx and
SCLx pins are sampled high, the Baud Rate Generator
is reloaded with the contents of SSPxADD<6:0> and
starts its count. If SCLx and SDAx are both sampled
high when the Baud Rate Generator times out (TBRG),
the SDAx pin is driven low. The action of the SDAx
being driven low while SCLx is high is the Start condi-
tion and causes the S bit (SSPxSTAT<3>) to be set.
Following this, the Baud Rate Generator is reloaded
with the contents of SSPxADD<6:0> and resumes its
count. When the Baud Rate Generator times out
(TBRG), the SEN bit (SSPxCON2<0>) will be
automatically cleared by hardware. The Baud Rate
Generator is suspended, leaving the SDAx line held low
and the Start condition is complete.
20.5.11.1 WCOL Status Flag
If the user writes the SSPxBUF when a Start sequence
is in progress, the WCOL bit is set and the contents of
the buffer are unchanged (the write doesn’t occur).
FIGURE 20-21: FIRST START BIT TIMING
Note: If, at the beginning of the Start condition,
the SDAx and SCLx pins are already
sampled low, or if during the Start condi-
tion, the SCLx line is sampled low before
the SDAx line is driven low, a bus collision
occurs, the Bus Collision Interrupt Flag,
BCLxIF, 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
SSPxCON2 is disabled until the Start
condition is complete.

20.5.12 I2C MASTER MODE REPEATED
START CONDITION TIMING
A Repeated Start condition occurs when the RSEN bit
(SSPxCON2<1>) is programmed high and the I2C logic
module is in the Idle state. When the RSEN bit is set,
the SCLx pin is asserted low. When the SCLx pin is
sampled low, the Baud Rate Generator is loaded with
the contents of SSPxADD<5:0> and begins counting.
The SDAx pin is released (brought high) for one Baud
Rate Generator count (TBRG). When the Baud Rate
Generator times out, and if SDAx is sampled high, the
SCLx pin will be deasserted (brought high). When
SCLx is sampled high, the Baud Rate Generator is
reloaded with the contents of SSPxADD<6:0> and
begins counting. SDAx and SCLx must be sampled
high for one TBRG. This action is then followed by
assertion of the SDAx pin (SDAx = 0) for one TBRG
while SCLx is high. Following this, the RSEN bit (SSPx-
CON2<1>) will be automatically cleared and the Baud
Rate Generator will not be reloaded, leaving the SDAx
pin held low. As soon as a Start condition is detected on
the SDAx and SCLx pins, the S bit (SSPxSTAT<3>) will
be set. The SSPxIF bit will not be set until the Baud
Rate Generator has timed out.
Immediately following the SSPxIF bit getting set, the
user may write the SSPxBUF with the 7-bit address in
7-bit mode or the default first address in 10-bit mode.
After the first eight bits are transmitted and an ACK is
received, the user may then transmit an additional eight
bits of address (10-bit mode) or eight bits of data (7-bit
mode).
20.5.12.1 WCOL Status Flag
If the user writes the SSPxBUF when a Repeated Start
sequence is in progress, the WCOL is set and the
contents of the buffer are unchanged (the write doesn’t
occur).
FIGURE 20-22: REPEATED START CONDITION WAVEFORM
Note 1: If RSEN is programmed while any other
event is in progress, it will not take effect.
2: A bus collision during the Repeated Start
condition occurs if:
•SDAx is sampled low when SCLx
goes from low-to-high.
•SCLx goes low before SDAx is
asserted low. This may indicate that
another master is attempting to
transmit a data ‘1’.
Note: Because queueing of events is not
allowed, writing of the lower 5 bits of
SSPxCON2 is disabled until the Repeated
Start condition is complete.

20.5.13 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 SSPxBUF register. This
action will set the Buffer Full flag bit, BF, and allow the
Baud Rate Generator to begin counting and start the
next transmission. Each bit of address/data will be
shifted out onto the SDAx pin after the falling edge of
SCLx is asserted (see data hold time specification
Parameter 106). SCLx is held low for one Baud Rate
Generator rollover count (TBRG). Data should be valid
before SCLx is released high (see data setup time
specification Parameter 107). When the SCLx pin is
released high, it is held that way for TBRG. The data on
the SDAx pin must remain stable for that duration and
some hold time after the next falling edge of SCLx.
After the eighth bit is shifted out (the falling edge of the
eighth clock), the BF flag is cleared and the master
releases SDAx. This allows the slave device being
addressed to respond with an ACK bit during the ninth
bit time if an address match occurred, or if data was
received properly. The status of ACK is written into the
ACKDT bit on the falling edge of the ninth clock. If the
master receives an Acknowledge, the Acknowledge
Status bit, ACKSTAT, is cleared; if not, the bit is set.
After the ninth clock, the SSPxIF bit is set and the
master clock (Baud Rate Generator) is suspended until
the next data byte is loaded into the SSPxBUF, leaving
SCLx low and SDAx unchanged (Figure 20-23).
After the write to the SSPxBUF, each bit of the address
will be shifted out on the falling edge of SCLx 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 SDAx pin, allowing the slave to respond
with an Acknowledge. On the falling edge of the ninth
clock, the master will sample the SDAx pin to see if the
address was recognized by a slave. The status of the
ACK bit is loaded into the ACKSTAT Status bit
(SSPxCON2<6>). Following the falling edge of the
ninth clock transmission of the address, the SSPxIF
flag is set, the BF flag is cleared and the Baud Rate
Generator is turned off until another write to the
SSPxBUF takes place, holding SCLx low and allowing
SDAx to float.
20.5.13.1 BF Status Flag
In Transmit mode, the BF bit (SSPxSTAT<0>) is set
when the CPU writes to SSPxBUF and is cleared when
all 8 bits are shifted out.
20.5.13.2 WCOL Status Flag
If the user writes the SSPxBUF when a transmit is
already in progress (i.e., SSPxSR is still shifting out a
data byte), the WCOL bit is set and the contents of the
buffer are unchanged (the write doesn’t occur) after
2T
CY after the SSPxBUF write. If SSPxBUF is rewritten
within 2 TCY, the WCOL bit is set and SSPxBUF is
updated. This may result in a corrupted transfer.
The user should verify that the WCOL bit is clear after
each write to SSPxBUF to ensure the transfer is
correct. In all cases, WCOL must be cleared in
software.
20.5.13.3 ACKSTAT Status Flag
In Transmit mode, the ACKSTAT bit (SSPxCON2<6>)
is cleared when the slave has sent an Acknowledge
(ACK =0) and is set when the slave does not Acknowl-
edge (ACK = 1). A slave sends an Acknowledge when
it has recognized its address (including a general call),
or when the slave has properly received its data.
20.5.14 I2C MASTER MODE RECEPTION
Master mode reception is enabled by programming the
Receive Enable bit, RCEN (SSPxCON2<3>).
The Baud Rate Generator begins counting, and on
each rollover, the state of the SCLx pin changes (high-
to-low/low-to-high) and data is shifted into the
SSPxSR. After the falling edge of the eighth clock, the
receive enable flag is automatically cleared, the con-
tents of the SSPxSR are loaded into the SSPxBUF, the
BF flag bit is set, the SSPxIF flag bit is set and the Baud
Rate Generator is suspended from counting, holding
SCLx low. The MSSPx 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 setting the Acknowledge Sequence Enable bit,
ACKEN (SSPxCON2<4>).
20.5.14.1 BF Status Flag
In receive operation, the BF bit is set when an address
or data byte is loaded into SSPxBUF from SSPxSR. It
is cleared when the SSPxBUF register is read.
20.5.14.2 SSPOV Status Flag
In receive operation, the SSPOV bit is set when 8 bits
are received into the SSPxSR and the BF flag bit is
already set from a previous reception.
20.5.14.3 WCOL Status Flag
If the user writes the SSPxBUF when a receive is
already in progress (i.e., SSPxSR is still shifting in a
data byte), the WCOL bit is set and the contents of the
buffer are unchanged (the write doesn’t occur).
Note: The MSSPx module must be in an inactive
state before the RCEN bit is set or the
RCEN bit will be disregarded.

20.5.15 ACKNOWLEDGE SEQUENCE
TIMING
An Acknowledge sequence is enabled by setting the
Acknowledge Sequence Enable bit, ACKEN (SSPx-
CON2<4>). When this bit is set, the SCLx pin is pulled low
and the contents of the Acknowledge data bit are pre-
sented on the SDAx pin. If the user wishes to generate an
Acknowledge, then the ACKDT bit should be cleared. If
not, the user should set the ACKDT bit before starting an
Acknowledge sequence. The Baud Rate Generator then
counts for one rollover period (TBRG) and the SCLx pin is
deasserted (pulled high). When the SCLx pin is sampled
high (clock arbitration), the Baud Rate Generator counts
for TBRG; the SCLx pin is then pulled low. Following this,
the ACKEN bit is automatically cleared, the Baud Rate
Generator is turned off and the MSSPx module then goes
into an inactive state (Figure 20-25).
20.5.15.1 WCOL Status Flag
If the user writes the SSPxBUF when an Acknowledge
sequence is in progress, then WCOL is set and the
contents of the buffer are unchanged (the write doesn’t
occur).
20.5.16 STOP CONDITION TIMING
A Stop bit is asserted on the SDAx pin at the end of a
receive/transmit by setting the Stop Sequence Enable
bit, PEN (SSPxCON2<2>). At the end of a receive/
transmit, the SCLx line is held low after the falling edge
of the ninth clock. When the PEN bit is set, the master
will assert the SDAx line low. When the SDAx line is
sampled low, the Baud Rate Generator is reloaded and
counts down to 0. When the Baud Rate Generator
times out, the SCLx pin will be brought high and one
TBRG (Baud Rate Generator rollover count) later, the
SDAx pin will be deasserted. When the SDAx pin is
sampled high while SCLx is high, the P bit
(SSPxSTAT<4>) is set. A TBRG later, the PEN bit is
cleared and the SSPxIF bit is set (Figure 20-26).
20.5.16.1 WCOL Status Flag
If the user writes the SSPxBUF when a Stop sequence
is in progress, then the WCOL bit is set and the
contents of the buffer are unchanged (the write doesn’t
occur).

20.5.17 SLEEP OPERATION
While in Sleep mode, the I2C module can receive
addresses or data and when an address match or
complete byte transfer occurs, wake the processor
from Sleep (if the MSSPx interrupt is enabled).
20.5.18 EFFECTS OF A RESET
A Reset disables the MSSPx module and terminates
the current transfer.
20.5.19 MULTI-MASTER MODE
In Multi-Master mode, the interrupt generation on the
detection of the Start and Stop conditions allows the
determination of when the bus is free. The Stop (P) and
Start (S) bits are cleared from a Reset or when the
MSSPx module is disabled. Control of the I2C bus may
be taken when the P bit (SSPxSTAT<4>) is set, or the
bus is Idle, with both the S and P bits clear. When the
bus is busy, enabling the MSSPx interrupt will generate
the interrupt when the Stop condition occurs.
In multi-master operation, the SDAx line must be mon-
itored for arbitration to see if the signal level is the
expected output level. This check is performed in
hardware with the result placed in the BCLxIF bit.
The states where arbitration can be lost are:
Address Transfer
Data Transfer
A Start Condition
A Repeated Start Condition
An Acknowledge Condition
20.5.20 MULTI -MASTER COMMUNICATION,
BUS COLLISION AND BUS
ARBITRATION
Multi-Master mode support is achieved by bus arbitra-
tion. When the master outputs address/data bits onto
the SDAx pin, arbitration takes place when the master
outputs a ‘1’ on SDAx, by letting SDAx float high, and
another master asserts a ‘0’. When the SCLx pin floats
high, data should be stable. If the expected data on
SDAx is a ‘1’ and the data sampled on the SDAx
pin = 0, then a bus collision has taken place. The
master will set the Bus Collision Interrupt Flag, BCLxIF,
and reset the I2C port to its Idle state (Figure 20-27).
If a transmit was in progress when the bus collision
occurred, the transmission is halted, the BF flag is
cleared, the SDAx and SCLx lines are deasserted and
the SSPxBUF can be written to. When the user services
the 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 SDAx and SCLx lines are
deasserted and the respective control bits in the SSPx-
CON2 register are cleared. When the user services the
bus collision Interrupt Service Routine (ISR), and if the
I2C bus is free, the user can resume communication by
asserting a Start condition.
The master will continue to monitor the SDAx and
SCLx pins. If a Stop condition occurs, the SSPxIF bit
will be set.
A write to the SSPxBUF 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
detection of Start and Stop conditions allows the determi-
nation of when the bus is free. Control of the I2C bus can
be taken when the P bit is set in the SSPxSTAT register,
or the bus is Idle and the S and P bits are cleared.

20.5.20.1 Bus Collision During a Start
Condition
During a Start condition, a bus collision occurs if:
a) SDAx or SCLx is sampled low at the beginning
of the Start condition (Figure 20-28).
b) SCLx is sampled low before SDAx is asserted
low (Figure 20-29).
During a Start condition, both the SDAx and the SCLx
pins are monitored.
If the SDAx pin is already low, or the SCLx pin is
already low, then all of the following occur:
the Start condition is aborted,
the BCLxIF flag is set and
the MSSPx module is reset to its inactive state
(Figure 20-28)
The Start condition begins with the SDAx and SCLx
pins deasserted. When the SDAx pin is sampled high,
the Baud Rate Generator is loaded from
SSPxADD<6:0> and counts down to 0. If the SCLx pin
is sampled low while SDAx is high, a bus collision
occurs because it is assumed that another master is
attempting to drive a data ‘1’ during the Start condition.
If the SDAx pin is sampled low during this count, the
BRG is reset and the SDAx line is asserted early
(Figure 20-30). If, however, a ‘1’ is sampled on the
SDAx pin, the SDAx pin is asserted low at the end of
the BRG count. The Baud Rate Generator is then
reloaded and counts down to 0. If the SCLx pin is
sampled as ‘0’ during this time, a bus collision does not
occur. At the end of the BRG count, the SCLx pin is
asserted low.
FIGURE 20-28: BUS COLLISION DURING START CONDITION (SDAx ONLY)
Note: The reason that bus collision is not a fac-
tor during a Start condition is that no two
bus masters can assert a Start condition
at the exact same time. Therefore, one
master will always assert SDAx before the
other. This condition does not cause a bus
collision because the two masters must be
allowed to arbitrate the first address
following the Start condition. If the address
is the same, arbitration must be allowed to
continue into the data portion, Repeated
Start or Stop conditions.

20.5.20.2 Bus Collision During a Repeated
Start Condition
During a Repeated Start condition, a bus collision
occurs if:
a) A low level is sampled on SDAx when SCLx
goes from a low level to a high level.
b) SCLx goes low before SDAx is asserted low,
indicating that another master is attempting to
transmit a data ‘1’.
When the user deasserts SDAx and the pin is allowed
to float high, the BRG is loaded with SSPxADD<6:0>
and counts down to 0. The SCLx pin is then deasserted
and when sampled high, the SDAx pin is sampled.
If SDAx is low, a bus collision has occurred (i.e., another
master is attempting to transmit a data ‘0’, Figure 20-31).
If SDAx is sampled high, the BRG is reloaded and
begins counting. If SDAx goes from high-to-low before
the BRG times out, no bus collision occurs because no
two masters can assert SDAx at exactly the same time.
If SCLx goes from high-to-low before the BRG times
out and SDAx has not already been asserted, a bus
collision occurs. In this case, another master is
attempting to transmit a data ‘1 during the Repeated
Start condition (see Figure 20-32).
If, at the end of the BRG time-out, both SCLx and SDAx
are still high, the SDAx pin is driven low and the BRG
is reloaded and begins counting. At the end of the
count, regardless of the status of the SCLx pin, the
SCLx pin is driven low and the Repeated Start
condition is complete.

20.5.20.3 Bus Collision During a Stop
Condition
Bus collision occurs during a Stop condition if:
a) After the SDAx pin has been deasserted and
allowed to float high, SDAx is sampled low after
the BRG has timed out.
b) After the SCLx pin is deasserted, SCLx is
sampled low before SDAx goes high.
The Stop condition begins with SDAx asserted low.
When SDAx is sampled low, the SCLx pin is allowed to
float. When the pin is sampled high (clock arbitration),
the Baud Rate Generator is loaded with
SSPxADD<6:0> and counts down to 0. After the BRG
times out, SDAx is sampled. If SDAx is sampled low, a
bus collision has occurred. This is due to another mas-
ter attempting to drive a data ‘0’ (Figure 20-33). If the
SCLx pin is sampled low before SDAx is allowed to
float high, a bus collision occurs. This is another case
of another master attempting to drive a data ‘0
(Figure 20-34).

21.0 ENHANCED UNIVERSAL
SYNCHRONOUS
ASYNCHRONOUS RECEIVER
TRANSMITTER (EUSART)
The Enhanced Universal Synchronous Asynchronous
Receiver Transmitter (EUSART) module is one of four
serial I/O modules. (Generically, the EUSART is also
known as a Serial Communications Interface or SCI.)
The EUSART can be configured as a full-duplex,
asynchronous system that can communicate with
peripheral devices, such as CRT terminals and
personal computers. It can also be configured as a half-
duplex synchronous system that can communicate
with peripheral devices, such as A/D or D/A integrated
circuits, serial EEPROMs, etc.
The Enhanced USART module implements additional
features, including automatic baud rate detection and
calibration, automatic wake-up on Sync Break recep-
tion and 12-bit Break character transmit. These make it
ideally suited for use in Local Interconnect Network bus
(LIN/J2602 bus) systems.
All members of the PIC18FXXJ94 are equipped with
four independent EUSART modules, referred to as
EUSART1, EUSART2, EUSART3 and EUSART4.
They can be configured in the following modes:
Asynchronous (full duplex) with:
- Auto-wake-up on character reception
- Auto-baud calibration
- 12-bit Break character transmission
Synchronous – Master (half duplex) with
selectable clock polarity
Synchronous – Slave (half duplex) with selectable
clock polarity
The Enhanced USART module has the following
enhancements over the AUSART module:
Selectable 16-Bit Baud Rate Generator mode
Interrupt on Sync Break character received;
allows an asynchronous wake-up from Sleep
12-Bit Break character transmit
Auto-baud calibration on Sync character
Clock polarity select for Synchronous mode
Transmit and receive polarity select for
Asynchronous mode
Receive Shift register empty Status bit
Local Interconnect Network (LIN/J2602) protocol
standard
The Enhanced USART module has the following IrDA®
related enhancements over previous Enhanced
USART modules:
16x Baud Clock output for IrDA support
IrDA encoder and decoder logic
The pins of EUSART1 through EUSART4 are multi-
plexed with functions using PPS-Lite. The TXx and
RXx pins of each EUSART can be individually
controlled using PPS-Lite registers, respectively.
Refer to Section 11.15 “PPS-Lite” for setting up
EUSART1 through EUSART4.
The operation of each Enhanced USART module is
controlled through seven registers:
RCSTAx – EUSARTx Receive Status and Control
Register
TXSTAx – EUSARTx Transmit Status and Control
Register
BAUDCONx – Baud Rate Control Register
SPBRGx – Baud Rate Generator Register
SPBRGHx – Baud Rate Generator High Register
RCREGx – EUSARTx Receive Data Register
TXREGx – EUSARTx Transmit Data Register
These are detailed on the following pages in
Register 21-1, Register 21-2 and Register 21-3,
respectively.
Note: The EUSART control will automatically
reconfigure the pin from input to output as
needed.
Note: Throughout this section, references to
register and bit names that may be asso-
ciated with a specific EUSART module are
referred to generically by the use of ‘x’ in
place of the specific module number.
Thus, “RCSTAx” might refer to the
Receive STATUS register for either
EUSART1, EUSART2, EUSART3 or
EUSART4.

21.1 Baud Rate Generator (BRG)
The BRG is a dedicated, 8-bit or 16-bit generator that
supports both the Asynchronous and Synchronous
modes of the EUSARTx. By default, the BRG operates
in 8-bit mode; setting the BRG16 bit (BAUDCONx<3>)
selects 16-bit mode.
The SPBRGHx:SPBRGx register pair controls the period
of a free-running timer. In Asynchronous mode, bits,
BRGH (TXSTAx<2>) and BRG16 (BAUDCONx<3>),
also control the baud rate. In Synchronous mode, BRGH
is ignored. Table 21-1 shows the formula for computation
of the baud rate for different EUSARTx modes which only
apply in Master mode (internally generated clock).
Given the desired baud rate and FOSC, the nearest
integer value for the SPBRGHx:SPBRGx registers can
be calculated using the formulas in Table 21-1. From this,
the error in baud rate can be determined. An example
calculation is shown in Example 21-1. Typical baud rates
and error values for the various Asynchronous modes
are shown in Table 21-2. It may be advantageous to use
the high baud rate (BRGH = 1) or the 16-bit BRG to
reduce the baud rate error, or achieve a slow baud rate
for a fast oscillator frequency.
Writing a new value to the SPBRGHx:SPBRGx
registers causes the BRG timer to be reset (or cleared).
This ensures the BRG does not wait for a timer over-
flow before outputting the new baud rate. When
operated in the Synchronous mode, SPBRGH:SPBRG
values of 0000h and 0001h are not supported. In the
Asynchronous mode, all BRG values may be used.
21.1.1 OPERATION IN POWER-MANAGED
MODES
The device clock is used to generate the desired baud
rate. When one of the power-managed modes is
entered, the new clock source may be operating at a
different frequency. This may require an adjustment to
the value in the SPBRGx register pair.
21.1.2 SAMPLING
The data on the RXx pin is sampled three times by a
majority detect circuit to determine if a high or a low
level is present at the RXx pin.

Legend: x = Don’t care, n = value of SPBRGHx:SPBRGx register pair
For a device with FOSC of 16 MHz, desired baud rate of 9600, Asynchronous mode, and 8-bit BRG:
Desired Baud Rate = FOSC/(64 ([SPBRGHx:SPBRGx] + 1))
Solving for SPBRGHx:SPBRGx:
X = ((FOSC/Desired Baud Rate)/64) – 1
= ((16000000/9600)/64) – 1
= [25.042] = 25
Calculated Baud Rate = 16000000/(64 (25 + 1))
= 9615
Error = (Calculated Baud Rate – Desired Baud Rate)/Desired Baud Rate
= (9615 – 9600)/9600 = 0.16%

21.1.3 AUTO-BAUD RATE DETECT
The Enhanced USART module supports the automatic
detection and calibration of baud rate. This feature is
active only in Asynchronous mode and while the WUE
bit is clear.
The automatic baud rate measurement sequence
(Figure 21-1) begins whenever a Start bit is received
and the ABDEN bit is set. The calculation is
self-averaging.
In the Auto-Baud Rate Detect (ABD) mode, the clock to
the BRG is reversed. Rather than the BRG clocking the
incoming RXx signal, the RXx signal is timing the BRG.
In ABD mode, the internal Baud Rate Generator is
used as a counter to time the bit period of the incoming
serial byte stream.
Once the ABDEN bit is set, the state machine will clear
the BRG and look for a Start bit. The Auto-Baud Rate
Detect must receive a byte with the value, 55h (ASCII
“U”, which is also the LIN/J2602 bus Sync character), in
order to calculate the proper bit rate. The measurement
is taken over both a low and a high bit time in order to
minimize any effects caused by asymmetry of the incom-
ing signal. After a Start bit, the SPBRGx begins counting
up, using the preselected clock source on the first rising
edge of RXx. After eight bits on the RXx pin or the fifth
rising edge, an accumulated value totalling the proper
BRG period is left in the SPBRGHx:SPBRGx register
pair. Once the 5th edge is seen (this should correspond
to the Stop bit), the ABDEN bit is automatically cleared.
If a rollover of the BRG occurs (an overflow from FFFFh
to 0000h), the event is trapped by the ABDOVF Status
bit (BAUDCONx<7>). It is set in hardware by BRG roll-
overs and can be set or cleared by the user in software.
ABD mode remains active after rollover events and the
ABDEN bit remains set (Figure 21-2).
While calibrating the baud rate period, the BRG regis-
ters are clocked at 1/8th the preconfigured clock rate.
The BRG clock will be configured by the BRG16 and
BRGH bits. The BRG16 bit must be set to use both
SPBRG1 and SPBRGH1 as a 16-bit counter. This
allows the user to verify that no carry occurred for 8-bit
modes by checking for 00h in the SPBRGHx register.
Refer to Table 21-3 for counter clock rates to the BRG.
While the ABD sequence takes place, the EUSARTx
state machine is held in Idle. The RCxIF interrupt is set
once the fifth rising edge on RXx is detected. The value
in the RCREGx needs to be read to clear the RCxIF
interrupt. The contents of RCREGx should be
discarded.
TABLE 21-3: BRG COUNTER
CLOCK RATES
21.1.3.1 ABD and EUSARTx Transmission
Since the BRG clock is reversed during ABD acquisi-
tion, the EUSARTx transmitter cannot be used during
ABD. This means that whenever the ABDEN bit is set,
TXREGx cannot be written to. Users should also
ensure that ABDEN does not become set during a
transmit sequence. Failing to do this may result in
unpredictable EUSARTx operation.
Note 1: If the WUE bit is set with the ABDEN bit,
Auto-Baud Rate Detection will occur on
the byte following the Break character.
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 oscillator
frequency and EUSARTx baud rates are
not possible due to bit error rates. Overall
system timing and communication baud
rates must be taken into consideration
when using the Auto-Baud Rate Detection
feature.
3: To maximize baud rate range, if that
feature is used it is recommended that
the BRG16 bit (BAUDCONx<3>) be set.

21.2 EUSARTx Asynchronous Mode
The Asynchronous mode of operation is selected by
clearing the SYNC bit (TXSTAx<4>). In this mode, the
EUSARTx uses standard Non-Return-to-Zero (NRZ)
format (one Start bit, eight or nine data bits and one Stop
bit). The most common data format is 8 bits. An on-chip,
dedicated 8-bit/16-bit Baud Rate Generator can be used
to derive standard baud rate frequencies from the
oscillator.
The EUSARTx transmits and receives the LSb first. The
EUSARTx’s transmitter and receiver are functionally
independent but use the same data format and baud
rate. The Baud Rate Generator produces a clock, either
x16 or x64 of the bit shift rate, depending on the BRGH
and BRG16 bits (TXSTAx<2> and BAUDCONx<3>).
Parity is not supported by the hardware but can be
implemented in software and stored as the 9th data bit.
When operating in Asynchronous mode, the EUSARTx
module consists of the following important elements:
Baud Rate Generator
Sampling Circuit
Asynchronous Transmitter
Asynchronous Receiver
Auto-Wake-up on Sync Break Character
12-Bit Break Character Transmit
Auto-Baud Rate Detection
21.2.1 EUSARTx ASYNCHRONOUS
TRANSMITTER
The EUSARTx transmitter block diagram is shown in
Figure 21-3. The heart of the transmitter is the Transmit
(Serial) Shift Register (TSR). The Shift register obtains
its data from the Read/Write Transmit Buffer register,
TXREGx. The TXREGx register is loaded with data in
software. The TSR register is not loaded until the Stop
bit has been transmitted from the previous load. As
soon as the Stop bit is transmitted, the TSR is loaded
with new data from the TXREGx register (if available).
Once the TXREGx register transfers the data to the TSR
register (occurs in one T
CY), the TXREGx register is
empty and the TXxIF flag bit is set. This interrupt can be
enabled or disabled by setting or clearing the interrupt
enable bit, TXxIE. TXxIF will be set regardless of the
state of TXxIE; it cannot be cleared in software. TXxIF is
also not cleared immediately upon loading TXREGx, but
becomes valid in the second instruction cycle following
the load instruction. Polling TXxIF immediately following
a load of TXREGx will return invalid results.
While TXxIF indicates the status of the TXREGx regis-
ter, another bit, TRMT (TXSTAx<1>), shows the status
of the TSR register. TRMT is a read-only bit which is set
when the TSR register is empty. No interrupt logic is
tied to this bit so the user has to poll this bit in order to
determine if the TSR register is empty.
To set up an Asynchronous Transmission:
1. Initialize the SPBRGHx:SPBRGx registers for
the appropriate baud rate. Set or clear the
BRGH and BRG16 bits, as required, to achieve
the desired baud rate.
2. Enable the asynchronous serial port by clearing
bit, SYNC, and setting bit, SPEN.
3. If interrupts are desired, set enable bit, TXxIE.
4. If 9-bit transmission is desired, set transmit bit,
TX9. Can be used as address/data bit.
5. Enable the transmission by setting bit, TXEN,
which will also set bit, TXxIF.
6. If 9-bit transmission is selected, the ninth bit
should be loaded in bit, TX9D.
7. Load data to the TXREGx register (starts
transmission).
8. If using interrupts, ensure that the GIE and PEIE
bits in the INTCON register (INTCON<7:6>) are
set.

21.2.2 EUSARTx ASYNCHRONOUS
RECEIVER
The receiver block diagram is shown in Figure 21-6.
The data is received on the RXx pin and drives the data
recovery block. The data recovery block is actually a
high-speed shifter operating at x16 times the baud rate,
whereas the main receive serial shifter operates at the
bit rate or at FOSC. This mode would typically be used
in RS-232 systems.
To set up an Asynchronous Reception:
1. Initialize the SPBRGHx:SPBRGx registers for
the appropriate baud rate. Set or clear the
BRGH and BRG16 bits, as required, to achieve
the desired baud rate.
2. Enable the asynchronous serial port by clearing
bit, SYNC, and setting bit, SPEN.
3. If interrupts are desired, set enable bit, RCxIE.
4. If 9-bit reception is desired, set bit, RX9.
5. Enable the reception by setting bit, CREN.
6. Flag bit, RCxIF, will be set when reception is
complete and an interrupt will be generated if
enable bit, RCxIE, was set.
7. Read the RCSTAx register to get the 9th bit (if
enabled) and determine if any error occurred
during reception.
8. Read the 8-bit received data by reading the
RCREGx register.
9. If any error occurred, clear the error by clearing
enable bit, CREN.
10. If using interrupts, ensure that the GIE and PEIE
bits in the INTCON register (INTCON<7:6>) are
set.
21.2.3 SETTING UP 9-BIT MODE WITH
ADDRESS DETECT
This mode would typically be used in RS-485 systems.
To set up an Asynchronous Reception with Address
Detect Enable:
1. Initialize the SPBRGHx:SPBRGx registers for
the appropriate baud rate. Set or clear the
BRGH and BRG16 bits, as required, to achieve
the desired baud rate.
2. Enable the asynchronous serial port by clearing
the SYNC bit and setting the SPEN bit.
3. If interrupts are required, set the RCEN bit and
select the desired priority level with the RCxIP bit.
4. Set the RX9 bit to enable 9-bit reception.
5. Set the ADDEN bit to enable address detect.
6. Enable reception by setting the CREN bit.
7. The RCxIF bit will be set when reception is
complete. The interrupt will be Acknowledged if
the RCxIE and GIE bits are set.
8. Read the RCSTAx register to determine if any
error occurred during reception, as well as read
bit 9 of data (if applicable).
9. Read RCREGx to determine if the device is
being addressed.
10. If any error occurred, clear the CREN bit.
11. If the device has been addressed, clear the
ADDEN bit to allow all received data into the
receive buffer and interrupt the CPU.

FIGURE 21-7: ASYNCHRONOUS RECEPTION
21.2.4 AUTO-WAKE-UP ON SYNC BREAK
CHARACTER
During Sleep mode, all clocks to the EUSARTx are
suspended. Because of this, the Baud Rate Generator
is inactive and a proper byte reception cannot be per-
formed. The auto-wake-up feature allows the controller
to wake-up due to activity on the RXx/DTx line while the
EUSARTx is operating in Asynchronous mode.
The auto-wake-up feature is enabled by setting the
WUE bit (BAUDCONx<1>). Once set, the typical
receive sequence on RXx/DTx is disabled and the
EUSARTx remains in an Idle state, monitoring for a
wake-up event independent of the CPU mode. A wake-
up event consists of a high-to-low transition on the
RXx/DTx line. (This coincides with the start of a Sync
Break or a Wake-up Signal character for the LIN/J2602
protocol.)
Following a wake-up event, the module generates an
RCxIF interrupt. The interrupt is generated synchro-
nously to the Q clocks in normal operating modes
(Figure 21-8) and asynchronously if the device is in
Sleep mode (Figure 21-9). The interrupt condition is
cleared by reading the RCREGx register.
The WUE bit is automatically cleared once a low-to-high
transition is observed on the RXx line following the
wake-up event. At this point, the EUSARTx module is in
Idle mode and returns to normal operation. This signals
to the user that the Sync Break event is over.
21.2.4.1 Special Considerations Using
Auto-Wake-up
Since auto-wake-up functions by sensing rising edge
transitions on RXx/DTx, information with any state
changes before the Stop bit may signal a false End-of-
Character (EOC) and cause data or framing errors. To
work properly, therefore, the initial character in the
transmission must be all0’s. This can be 00h (8 bits)
for standard RS-232 devices or 000h (12 bits) for the
LIN/J2602 bus.
Oscillator start-up time must also be considered,
especially in applications using oscillators with longer
start-up intervals (i.e., HS or HSPLL mode). The Sync
Break (or Wake-up Signal) character must be of
sufficient length and be followed by a sufficient interval
to allow enough time for the selected oscillator to start
and provide proper initialization of the EUSARTx.

21.2.4.2 Special Considerations Using
the WUE Bit
The timing of WUE and RCxIF events may cause some
confusion when it comes to determining the validity of
received data. As noted, setting the WUE bit places the
EUSARTx in an Idle mode. The wake-up event causes
a receive interrupt by setting the RCxIF bit. The WUE bit
is cleared after this when a rising edge is seen on RXx/
DTx. The interrupt condition is then cleared by reading
the RCREGx register. Ordinarily, the data in RCREGx
will be dummy data and should be discarded.
The fact that the WUE bit has been cleared (or is still
set), and the RCxIF flag is set, should not be used as
an indicator of the integrity of the data in RCREGx.
Users should consider implementing a parallel method
in firmware to verify received data integrity.
To assure that no actual data is lost, check the RCIDL
bit to verify that a receive operation is not in process. If
a receive operation is not occurring, the WUE bit may
then be set just prior to entering the Sleep mode.

21.2.5 BREAK CHARACTER SEQUENCE
The EUSARTx module has the capability of sending
the special Break character sequences that are
required by the LIN/J2602 bus standard. The Break
character transmit consists of a Start bit, followed by
twelve ‘0’ bits and a Stop bit. The Frame Break charac-
ter is sent whenever the SENDB and TXEN bits
(TXSTAx<3> and TXSTAx<5>, respectively) are set
while the Transmit Shift Register is loaded with data.
Note that the value of data written to TXREGx will be
ignored and all ‘0’s will be transmitted.
The SENDB bit is automatically reset by hardware after
the corresponding Stop bit is sent. This allows the user
to preload the transmit FIFO with the next transmit byte
following the Break character (typically, the Sync
character in the LIN/J2602 specification).
Note that the data value written to the TXREGx for the
Break character is ignored. The write simply serves the
purpose of initiating the proper sequence.
The TRMT bit indicates when the transmit operation is
active or Idle, just as it does during normal transmis-
sion. See Figure 21-10 for the timing of the Break
character sequence.
21.2.5.1 Break and Sync Transmit Sequence
The following sequence will send a message frame
header made up of a Break, followed by an Auto-Baud
Sync byte. This sequence is typical of a LIN/J2602 bus
master.
1. Configure the EUSARTx for the desired mode.
2. Set the TXEN and SENDB bits to set up the
Break character.
3. Load the TXREGx with a dummy character to
initiate transmission (the value is ignored).
4. Write ‘55h’ to TXREGx to load the Sync
character into the transmit FIFO buffer.
5. After the Break has been sent, the SENDB bit is
reset by hardware. The Sync character now
transmits in the preconfigured mode.
When the TXREGx becomes empty, as indicated by
the TXxIF, the next data byte can be written to
TXREGx.
21.2.6 RECEIVING A BREAK CHARACTER
The Enhanced USART module can receive a Break
character in two ways.
The first method forces configuration of the baud rate
at a frequency of 9/13 the typical speed. This allows for
the Stop bit transition to be at the correct sampling
location (13 bits for Break versus Start bit and 8 data
bits for typical data).
The second method uses the auto-wake-up feature
described in Section 21.2.4 “Auto-Wake-up on Sync
Break Character”. By enabling this feature, the
EUSARTx will sample the next two transitions on RXx/
DTx, cause an RCxIF interrupt and receive the next
data byte followed by another interrupt.
Note that following a Break character, the user will
typically want to enable the Auto-Baud Rate Detect
feature. For both methods, the user can set the ABDEN
bit once the TXxIF interrupt is observed.

21.3 EUSARTx Synchronous
Master Mode
The Synchronous Master mode is entered by setting
the CSRC bit (TXSTAx<7>). In this mode, the data is
transmitted in a half-duplex manner (i.e., transmission
and reception do not occur at the same time). When
transmitting data, the reception is inhibited and vice
versa. Synchronous mode is entered by setting bit,
SYNC (TXSTAx<4>). In addition, enable bit, SPEN
(RCSTAx<7>), is set in order to configure the TXx and
RXx pins to CKx (clock) and DTx (data) lines,
respectively.
The Master mode indicates that the processor trans-
mits the master clock on the CKx line. Clock polarity is
selected with the TXCKP bit (BAUDCONx<4>). Setting
TXCKP sets the Idle state on CKx as high, while clear-
ing the bit sets the Idle state as low. This option is
provided to support Microwire devices with this module.
21.3.1 EUSARTx SYNCHRONOUS
MASTER TRANSMISSION
The EUSARTx transmitter block diagram is shown in
Figure 21-3. The heart of the transmitter is the Transmit
(Serial) Shift Register (TSR). The shift register obtains
its data from the Read/Write Transmit Buffer register,
TXREGx. The TXREGx register is loaded with data in
software. The TSR register is not loaded until the last
bit has been transmitted from the previous load. As
soon as the last bit is transmitted, the TSR is loaded
with new data from the TXREGx (if available).
Once the TXREGx register transfers the data to the
TSR register (occurs in one TCY), the TXREGx is empty
and the TXxIF flag bit is set. The interrupt can be
enabled or disabled by setting or clearing the interrupt
enable bit, TXxIE. TXxIF is set regardless of the state
of enable bit, TXxIE; it cannot be cleared in software. It
will reset only when new data is loaded into the
TXREGx register.
While flag bit, TXxIF, indicates the status of the TXREGx
register, another bit, TRMT (TXSTAx<1>), shows the
status of the TSR register. TRMT is a read-only bit which
is set when the TSR is empty. No interrupt logic is tied to
this bit, so the user must poll this bit in order to determine
if the TSR register is empty. The TSR is not mapped in
data memory so it is not available to the user.
To set up a Synchronous Master Transmission:
1. Initialize the SPBRGHx:SPBRGx registers for the
appropriate baud rate. Set or clear the BRG16
bit, as required, to achieve the desired baud rate.
2. Enable the Master Synchronous Serial Port by
setting bits, SYNC, SPEN and CSRC.
3. If interrupts are desired, set enable bit, TXxIE.
4. If 9-bit transmission is desired, set bit, TX9.
5. Enable the transmission by setting bit, TXEN.
6. If 9-bit transmission is selected, the ninth bit
should be loaded in bit, TX9D.
7. Start transmission by loading data to the
TXREGx register.
8. If using interrupts, ensure that the GIE and PEIE
bits in the INTCON register (INTCON<7:6>) are
set.

21.3.2 EUSARTx SYNCHRONOUS
MASTER RECEPTION
Once Synchronous mode is selected, reception is
enabled by setting either the Single Receive Enable bit,
SREN (RCSTAx<5>) or the Continuous Receive
Enable bit, CREN (RCSTAx<4>). Data is sampled on
the RXx pin on the falling edge of the clock.
If enable bit, SREN, is set, only a single word is
received. If enable bit, CREN, is set, the reception is
continuous until CREN is cleared. If both bits are set,
then CREN takes precedence.
To set up a Synchronous Master Reception:
1. Initialize the SPBRGHx:SPBRGx registers for the
appropriate baud rate. Set or clear the BRG16
bit, as required, to achieve the desired baud rate.
2. Enable the Master Synchronous Serial Port by
setting bits, SYNC, SPEN and CSRC.
3. Ensure bits, CREN and SREN, are clear.
4. If interrupts are desired, set enable bit, RCxIE.
5. If 9-bit reception is desired, set bit, RX9.
6. If a single reception is required, set bit, SREN.
For continuous reception, set bit, CREN.
7. Interrupt flag bit, RCxIF, will be set when recep-
tion is complete and an interrupt will be generated
if the enable bit, RCxIE, was set.
8. Read the RCSTAx register to get the 9th bit (if
enabled) and determine if any error occurred
during reception.
9. Read the 8-bit received data by reading the
RCREGx register.
10. If any error occurred, clear the error by clearing
bit CREN.
11. If using interrupts, ensure that the GIE and PEIE bits
in the INTCON register (INTCON<7:6>) are set.

21.4 EUSARTx Synchronous
Slave Mode
Synchronous Slave mode is entered by clearing bit,
CSRC (TXSTAx<7>). This mode differs from the
Synchronous Master mode in that the shift clock is sup-
plied externally at the CKx pin (instead of being supplied
internally in Master mode). This allows the device to
transfer or receive data while in any low-power mode.
21.4.1 EUSARTx SYNCHRONOUS
SLAVE TRANSMISSION
The operation of the Synchronous Master and Slave
modes is identical, except in the case of Sleep mode.
If two words are written to the TXREGx and then the
SLEEP instruction is executed, the following will occur:
a) The first word will immediately transfer to the
TSR register and transmit.
b) The second word will remain in the TXREGx
register.
c) Flag bit, TXxIF, will not be set.
d) When the first word has been shifted out of TSR,
the TXREGx register will transfer the second word
to the TSR and flag bit, TXxIF, will now be set.
e) If enable bit, TXxIE, is set, the interrupt will wake
the chip from Sleep. If the global interrupt is
enabled, the program will branch to the interrupt
vector.
To set up a Synchronous Slave Transmission:
1. Enable the synchronous slave serial port by
setting bits, SYNC and SPEN, and clearing bit,
CSRC.
2. Clear bits, CREN and SREN.
3. If interrupts are desired, set enable bit, TXxIE.
4. If 9-bit transmission is desired, set bit, TX9.
5. Enable the transmission by setting enable bit,
TXEN.
6. If 9-bit transmission is selected, the ninth bit
should be loaded in bit, TX9D.
7. Start transmission by loading data to the
TXREGx register.
8. If using interrupts, ensure that the GIE and PEIE
bits in the INTCON register (INTCON<7:6>) are
set.
21.4.2 EUSARTx SYNCHRONOUS SLAVE
RECEPTION
The operation of the Synchronous Master and Slave
modes is identical, except in the case of Sleep, or any
Idle mode and bit, SREN, which is a “don’t care” in
Slave mode.
If receive is enabled by setting the CREN bit prior to
entering Sleep or any Idle mode, then a word may be
received while in this Low-Power mode. Once the word
is received, the RSR register will transfer the data to the
RCREGx register. If the RCxIE enable bit is set, the
interrupt generated will wake the chip from the Low-
Power mode. If the global interrupt is enabled, the
program will branch to the interrupt vector.
To set up a Synchronous Slave Reception:
1. Enable the Master Synchronous Serial Port by
setting bits, SYNC and SPEN, and clearing bit,
CSRC.
2. If interrupts are desired, set enable bit, RCxIE.
3. If 9-bit reception is desired, set bit, RX9.
4. To enable reception, set enable bit, CREN.
5. Flag bit, RCxIF, will be set when reception is
complete. An interrupt will be generated if
enable bit, RCxIE, was set.
6. Read the RCSTAx register to get the 9th bit (if
enabled) and determine if any error occurred
during reception.
7. Read the 8-bit received data by reading the
RCREGx register.
8. If any error occurred, clear the error by clearing
bit, CREN.
9. If using interrupts, ensure that the GIE and PEIE
bits in the INTCON register (INTCON<7:6>) are
set.

21.5 Infrared Support
This module provides support for two types of infrared
USART port implementations:
IrDA clock output to support an external IrDA
encoder/decoder device
Full implementation of the IrDa encoder and
decoder as part of the USART logic
Since the 16x clock is required to perform the IrDA
encoding, both by this module and the external trans-
mitter, this feature only works in the 16x Baud Rate
mode and is not available in the 4x mode.
21.5.1 EXTERNAL IrDA SUPPORT – IRDA
CLOCK OUTPUT
The 16x Baud Clock is provided on the BCLK (Baud
Clock) pin if the EUSARTx is enabled (SPEN = 1); it is
configured for Asynchronous mode (SYNC = 0) when
Clock Source Select is active (CSRC = 1). Note that
the BCLK can be active in regular or IrDA mode (IREN
bit is ignored).
21.5.1.1 BCLK Output
The timing of the Baud Clock (BCLK) output is inde-
pendent of the 16x or 4x Baud Rate mode, resulting in
the same output for a particular BRG value (since the
4x mode is four times faster, but has four times less
pulses per period).
When the BCLK pin mode is active, the RXx Baud
Rate Generator will be turned on, independent of a
TXx or RXx operation. This will cause the RXx stream
to synchronize to the already running RXx Baud Clock.
This is acceptable only when BCLK is enabled for use.
The BCLK output goes inactive and stays low during
Sleep mode.
The BCLK pin is taken over by the EUSARTx module
and forced as an output, irrespective of port latch and
TRIS latch bits. BCLK remains an output as long as
USART is kept enabled in this mode.

Note: The BCLK has 50% duty cycle only for odd BRG values. This is due to having all BCLK edges synchronous to the
rising edge of the 16x/4x clock.

PIC18F97J94 FAMILY
21.5.2 BUILT-IN IrDA ENCODER AND
DECODER
The built-in IrDA encoder and decoder functionality is
enabled using the IREN bit in the BAUDCONx register
while the module is in Asynchronous mode
(SYNC = 0). When enabled (IREN = 1), the Receive
pin (RXx) acts as the input from the infrared receiver.
The Transmit pin (TXx) acts as the output to the infra-
red transmitter. The 16x clock must be available for
this feature to work properly.
The IrDA feature cannot be enabled for Synchronous
modes (SYNC = 1).
21.5.2.1 IrDA Encoder Function
The encoder works by taking the serial data from the
USART and replacing it as follows:
Transmit bit data of ‘1’ gets encoded as0 for the
entire 16 periods of the 16x Baud Clock
Transmit bit data of ‘0’ gets encoded as0 for the
first 7 periods of the 16x Baud Clock, then as ‘1
for the next 3 periods, and as ‘0’ for the remaining
6 periods
See Figure 21-15 and Figure 21-17 for details.
21.5.2.2 IrDA Transmit Polarity
The IrDA transmit polarity is selected using the
TXCKP bit. This bit only affects the transmit encoder
and does not affect the receiver.
When TXCKP = 0, the Idle state of the TXx line is ‘0
(see Figure 21-15). When TXCKP = 1, the Idle state of
the TXx line is ‘1 (see Figure 21-16).

21.5.2.3 IrDA Decoder Function
The decoder works by taking the serial data from the
RXx pin and replacing it with the decoded data stream.
The stream is decoded based on falling edge
detection of the RXx input.
Each falling edge of RXx causes the decoded data to
be driven low for 16 periods of the 16x Baud Clock. If
another falling edge has been detected by the time the
16 periods expire, the decoded data remains low for
another 16 periods. If no falling edge was detected,
the decoded data is driven high.
Note that the data stream into the device is shifted
anywhere from 7 to 8 periods of the 16x Baud Clock
from the actual message source. The one clock uncer-
tainty is due to the clock edge resolution. See
Figure 21-18 for details.
21.5.2.4 IrDA Receive Polarity
The IrDA receive polarity is selected using the RXDTP
bit. This bit only affects the receive encoder and does
not affect the transmitter.
When RXDTP = 0, the Idle state of the RXx line is1
(see Figure 21-18). When RXDTP = 1, the Idle state of
the RXx line is ‘0’ (see Figure 21-19).
21.5.2.5 Clock Jitter
Due to jitter or slight frequency differences between
devices, it is possible for the next falling bit edge to be
missed for one of the 16x periods. In that case, one
clock-wide pulse appears on the decoded data stream.
Since the EUSARTx performs a majority detect around
the bit center, this does not cause erroneous data. See
Figure 21-20 for details.

22.0 12-BIT A/D CONVERTER WITH
THRESHOLD SCAN
The 12-bit A/D Converter has the following key
features:
Successive Approximation Register (SAR)
Conversion
Conversion Speeds of up to 200 ksps at 12 bits
and 500 ksps at 10 bits
Up to 32 Analog Input Channels (internal and
external)
Selectable 10-Bit or 12-Bit (default) Conversion
Resolution
Multiple Internal Reference Input Channels
External Voltage Reference Input Pins
Unipolar Differential Sample-and-Hold (S/H)
Amplifier
Automated Threshold Scan and Compare Opera-
tion to Pre-Evaluate up to 26 Conversion Results
Selectable Conversion Trigger Source
Fixed Length (one word per channel),
Configurable Conversion Result Buffer
Four Options for Results Alignment
Configurable Interrupt Generation
Operation During CPU Sleep and Idle modes
The 12-bit A/D Converter module is an enhanced
version of the 10-bit module offered in some PIC18
devices. Both modules are Successive Approximation
Register (SAR) Converters at their cores, surrounded
by a range of hardware features for flexible configura-
tion. This version of the module extends functionality by
providing 12-bit resolution, a wider range of automatic
sampling options, tighter integration with other analog
modules, such as the CTMU, and a configurable
results buffer. This module also includes a unique
Threshold Detect feature that allows the module itself
to make simple decisions based on the conversion
results.
As before, an internal Sample-and-Hold (S/H) amplifier
acquires a sample of an input signal, then holds that
value constant during the conversion process. A com-
bination of input multiplexers selects the signal to be
converted from up to 32 analog inputs, both external
(analog input pins) and internal (e.g., on-chip voltage
references and other analog modules). The whole mul-
tiplexer path includes provisions for differential analog
input, although, with a limited number of negative input
pins. The sampled voltage is held and converted to a
digital value, which strictly speaking, represents the
ratio of that input voltage to a reference voltage.
Configuration choices allow connection of an external
reference or use of the device power and ground (AVDD
and AVSS). Reference and input signal pins are
assigned differently depending on the particular device.
An array of timing and control selections allow the user
to create flexible scanning sequences. Conversions
can be started individually by program control, continu-
ously free-running or triggered by selected hardware
events. A single channel may be repeatedly converted.
Alternate conversions may be performed on two chan-
nels, or any or all of the channels may be sequentially
scanned and converted according to a user-defined bit
map. The resulting conversion output is a 12-bit digital
number, which can be signed or unsigned, left or right
justified. (In some devices, a user-selectable resolution
of ten bits is available; in other devices, 10-bit resolu-
tion is the only option available.)
Conversions are automatically stored in a dedicated
buffer, allowing for multiple successive readings to be
taken before software service is needed. The buffer
can be configured to function as a FIFO buffer or as a
channel indexed buffer. In FIFO mode, the buffer can
be split into two equal sections for simultaneous con-
version and read operations. In Indexed mode, the buf-
fer can use the Threshold Scan feature to determine if
a conversion meets specific, user-defined criteria, stor-
ing or discarding the converted value as appropriate,
and then set semaphore flags to indicate the event.
This allows conversions to occur in low-power modes
when the CPU is inactive, waking the device only when
specific conditions have occurred.
The module sets its interrupt flag after a selectable
number of conversions, when the buffer can be read, or
after a successful Threshold Detect comparison. After
the interrupt, the sequence restarts at the beginning of
the buffer. When the interrupt flag is set, according to
the earlier selection, scan selections and the Output
Buffer Pointer return to their starting positions.
During Sleep or Idle mode, the A/D can wake-up at pre-
configured intervals while the device maintains a Low-
Power mode. If threshold conditions have not been met
on any of the conversions, the module will return to a
Low-Power mode.
The A/D module provides configuration to directly inter-
act with the CTMU on specific input channels. This
allows the CTMU to automatically turn on only when
requested directly by the A/D, even though the rest of
the device stays in Sleep mode.
A simplified block diagram for the module is shown in
Figure 22-1.

22.1 Registers
The 12-bit A/D converter module uses up to 75
registers for its operation. All registers are mapped in
the data memory space.
22.1.1 CONTROL REGISTERS
Depending on the specific device, the module has up to
twelve control and STATUS registers:
ADCON1H/L: A/D Control Registers
ADCON2H/L: A/D Control Registers
ADCON3H/L: A/D Control Registers
ADCON5H/L: A/D Control Registers
ADCHS0H/L: A/D Input Channel Select Registers
ADCHITH1H/L and ADCHITH0H/L: A/D Scan
Compare Hit Registers
ADCSS1H/L and ADCSS0H/L: A/D Input Scan
Select Registers
ADCTMUEN1H/L and ADCTMUEN0H/L: CTMU
Enable Register
The ADCON1H/L, ADCON2H/L and ADCON3H/L reg-
isters control the overall operation of the A/D module.
This includes enabling the module, configuring the con-
version clock and voltage reference sources, selecting
the sampling and conversion triggers, and manually
controlling the sample/convert sequences. The
ADCON5H/L registers specifically controls features of
Threshold Detect operation, including its functioning in
power-saving modes.
The ADCHS0H/L registers selects the input channels
to be connected to the S/H amplifier. It also allows the
choice of input multiplexers and the selection of a
reference source for differential sampling.
The ADCHITH1H/L and ADCHITH0H/L registers are
semaphore registers used with Threshold Detect
operations. The status of individual bits, or bit pairs in
some cases, indicate if a match condition has occurred.
Their use is described in more detail in Section 22.7
“Threshold Detect Operation”. ADCHITH0H/L is
always implemented, whereas ADCHITH1H/L may not
be implemented in devices with 16 channels or less.
The ADCSS0H/L/L registers select the channels to be
included for sequential scanning. The ADCTMUEN1H/
L/L registers select the channel(s) to be used by the
CTMU during conversions. Selecting a particular
channel allows the A/D Converter to control the CTMU
(particularly, its current source) and read its data
through that channel. ADCTMUEN0H/L is always
implemented, whereas ADCTMUEN1H/L may not be
implemented in devices with 16 channels or less.
22.1.2 A/D RESULT BUFFERS
The module incorporates a multi-word, dual port RAM,
called ADCBUF. The buffer is composed of at least the
same number of word locations as there are external
analog channels for a particular device, with a
maximum number of 26. The number of buffer
addresses is always even. Each of the locations is
mapped into the data memory space and is separately
addressable.The buffer locations are referred to as
ADCBUF0H/L through ADCBUFnH/L (up to 26).
The A/D result buffers are both readable and writable.
When the module is active (ADCON1H<7> = 1), the
buffers are read-only, and store the results of A/D
conversions. When the module is inactive
(ADCON1H<7> = 0), the buffers are both readable and
writable. In this state, writing to a buffer location
programs a conversion threshold for Threshold Detect
operations, as described in Section 22.7.2, Setting
Comparison Thresholds.

Note 1: These input channels do not have corresponding memory mapped result buffers.
2: These channels are implemented in 80-pin and 100-pin devices only.
3: For accurately sampling the band gap set SMPI bits in ADCON2L register to 0, so that the ADC samples
the band gap only once on every trigger. When the band gap is sampled multiple times, a large capacitive
load is connected to the output of the band gap multiple times, which could cause the output to become
unstable for a while and an overshoot or undershoot could be sampled.

22.2 A/D Terminology and Conversion
Sequence
Sample time is the time that the A/D module's S/H
amplifier is connected to the analog input pin. The sam-
ple time may be started and ended automatically by the
A/D Converter's hardware or under direct program con-
trol. There is a minimum sample time to ensure that the
S/H amplifier will give sufficient accuracy for the A/D
conversion.
The conversion trigger ends the sampling time and
begins an A/D conversion or a repeating sequence.
The conversion trigger sources can be taken from a
variety of hardware sources or can be controlled
directly in software. One of the conversion trigger
options is an auto-conversion, which uses a counter
and the A/D clock to set the time between auto-conver-
sions. The Auto-Sample mode and auto-conversion
trigger can be used together to provide continuous,
automatic conversions without software intervention.
When automatic sampling is used, an extended sam-
pling interval is extended between the time the sam-
pling ends and the conversion starts.
Conversion time is the time required for the A/D
Converter to convert the voltage held by the S/H ampli-
fier. An A/D conversion requires one A/D clock cycle
(TAD) to convert each bit of the result, plus two addi-
tional clock cycles, or a total of 14 TAD cycles for a 12-
bit conversion. When the conversion is complete, the
result is loaded into one of the A/D result buffers. The
S/H can be reconnected to the input pin and a CPU
interrupt may be generated. The sum of the sample
time(s) and the A/D conversion time provides the total
A/D sequence time. Figure 22-2 shows the basic
conversion sequence and the relationship between
intervals.

cleared.

22.2.1 OPERATION AS A STATE MACHINE
The A/D conversion process can be thought of in terms
of a finite state machine (Figure 22-3). The sample
state represents the time that the input channel is
connected to the S/H amplifier and the signal is passed
to the converter input. The convert state is transitory.
The module enters this state as soon as it exits the
sample state and transitions to a different state when
that is done. The inactive state is the default state prior
to module initialization and following a software-con-
trolled conversion; it can be avoided in operation by
using Auto-Sample mode. Machine states are identi-
fied by the state of several control and Status bits in
ADCON1H/L.
If the module is configured for Auto-Sample mode, the
operation “ping-pongs” continuously between the
sample and convert states. The module automatically
selects the input channels to be sampled (if channel
scanning is enabled), while the selected conversion
trigger source paces the entire operation. Any time that
Auto-Sample mode is not used for conversion, it is
available for the sample state. The user needs to make
certain that acquisition time is sufficient, in addition to
accounting for the normal concerns about system
throughput.
Whenever the issue of sampling time is important, the
significant event is the transition from sample to con-
vert state. This is the point where the Sample-and-Hold
aperture closes, and it is essentially the signal value at
this instant, which is applied to the A/D for conversion
to digital.

22.3 A/D Module Configuration
All of the registers described in the previous section
must be configured for module operation to be fully
defined. An effective approach is first, to describe the
signals and sequences for the particular application.
Typically, it is an iterative process to assign signals to
port pins, to establish timing methods and to organize
a scanning scheme, as well as to integrate the whole
process with the software design.
The various configuration and control functions of the
module are distributed throughout the module's six
control registers. Control functions can be broadly
sorted into four groups: input, timing, conversion and
output. Table 22-1 shows the register location of control
or Status bits by register.
TABLE 22-1: A/D MODULE FUNCTIONS BY REGISTERS AND BITS
The following steps should be followed for performing
an A/D conversion:
1. Configure the A/D module:
- Select the output resolution (if configurable)
- Select the voltage reference source to match
the expected range on analog inputs
- Select the analog conversion clock to match
the desired data rate with a processor clock
- Determine how sampling will occur
- Set the multiplexer input assignments
- Select the desired sample/conversion
sequence
- Select the output data format
- Select the output value destination
- Select the number of readings per interrupt
2. Configure the A/D interrupt (if required):
- Clear the ADIF bit
- Select the A/D interrupt priority
3. Turn on the A/D module.
The options for each configuration step are described
in the subsequent sections.
22.3.1 SELECTING THE RESOLUTION
The MODE12 bit (ADCON1H<3>) controls output
resolution. Setting this bit selects 12-bit resolution.
22.3.2 SELECTING THE VOLTAGE
REFERENCE SOURCE
The voltage references for A/D conversions are
selected using the PVCFG<1:0> and NVCFG0 control
bits (ADCON2H<7:5>). The upper voltage reference
(VR+) may be AVDD, the external VREF+ or an internal
band gap reference voltage. The lower voltage
reference (VR-) may be AVSS or the VREF- input pin.
The available options vary between device families.
The external voltage reference pins may be shared
with the AN2 and AN3 inputs on low pin count devices.
The A/D Converter can still perform conversions on
these pins when they are shared with the VREF+ and
VREF- input pins.

The voltages applied to the external reference pins
must meet certain specifications. Refer to the device
data sheet for further details.
22.3.3 SELECTING THE A/D CONVERSION
CLOCK
The A/D Converter has a maximum rate at which
conversions may be completed. An analog module
clock, TAD, controls the conversion timing. The A/D
conversion requires 14 clock periods (14 TAD) for a 12-
bit conversion and 12 clock periods (12 TAD) for a 10-
bit conversion. The A/D clock is derived from the device
instruction clock.
The period of the A/D conversion clock is software
selected using a 6-bit counter. There are 64 possible
options for TAD, specified by the ADCSX bits in the
ADCON3L register. Equation 22-1 gives the TAD value
as a function of the ADCSx control bits and the device
instruction cycle clock period, TCY. For correct A/D
conversions, the A/D conversion clock (TAD) must be
selected to ensure a minimum TAD time, as specified
by the device family data sheet.
EQUATION 22-1: A/D CONVERSION CLOCK
PERIOD
The A/D Converter also has its own dedicated RC clock
source that can be used to perform conversions. The A/
D RC clock source should be used when conversions
are performed while the device is in Sleep mode. The
RC oscillator is selected by setting the ADRC bit
(ADCON3H<7>). When the ADRC bit is set, the
ADCSx bits have no effect on A/D operation.
22.3.4 CONFIGURING ANALOG PORT
PINS
The A/D module does not have an internal provision to
configure port pins for analog operation. Instead, input
pins are configured as analog inputs through the
Analog Select registers (ANSn, where ‘n’ is the port
name). A pin is configured as an analog input when the
corresponding ANSn bit is set. By default, pins with
multiplexed analog and digital functions are configured
as analog pins on device Reset.
For external analog inputs, both the ANSn register and
the corresponding TRIS register bits control the opera-
tion of the A/D port pins. The port pins that will function
as analog inputs must also have their corresponding
TRIS bits set, specifying the pins as inputs. After a
device Reset, all TRIS bits are set. If the I/O pin asso-
ciated with an A/D channel is configured as a digital
output (TRIS bit is cleared), while the pin is configured
for Analog mode, the port digital output level (VOH or
VOL) will be converted.
22.3.5 INPUT CHANNEL SELECTION
The A/D Converter incorporates two independent sets
of input multiplexers (MUX A and MUX B) that allow
users to choose which analog channels are to be sam-
pled. The inputs specified by the CH0SAx and CH0NAx
bits are collectively called the MUX A inputs. The inputs
specified by the CH0SBx and CH0NBx bits are collec-
tively called the MUX B inputs.
Functionally, MUX A and MUX B are very similar to each
other. Both multiplexers allow any of the analog input
channels to be selected for individual sampling and
allow selection of a negative reference source for differ-
ential signals. In addition, MUX A can be configured for
sequential analog channel scanning. This is discussed
in more detail in Section 22.3.5.1 “Configuring MUX A
And MUX B Inputs” and Section 22.3.5.3 “Scanning
Through Several Inputs”.
22.3.5.1 Configuring MUX A And MUX B
Inputs
The user may select any one of up to 32 inputs avail-
able to the A/D Converter as the positive input of the S/
H amplifier. For MUX A, the CH0SA<4:0> bits
(ADCHS0L<4:0>) normally select the analog channel
for the positive input. For MUX B, the positive channel
is selected by the CH0SB<4:0> bits (ADCHS0H<4:0>).
All of the external analog channels are available as
positive inputs. In addition to the external inputs, these
may also include device supply voltage (AVDD), the
logic core supply voltage (VDDCORE), the internal band
gap voltage (VBG) and/or multiples or fractions of VBG.
One or more additional input channels are used for the
CTMU. These selections leave the A/D disconnected
from all other inputs. The options vary by device family;
refer to the specific device data sheet for details.

Note 1: When reading a PORT register, any pin
configured as an analog input reads as
0’.
2: Analog levels on any pin that is defined
as a digital input may cause the input
buffer to consume current that is out of
the device’s specification.
Note: Different PIC18F devices will have
different numbers of analog inputs. Verify
the analog input availability against the
particular device’s data sheet.
2012-2016 Microchip Technology Inc. DS30000575C-page 455
PIC18F97J94 FAMILY
The CTMU input is selected by the ADCTMUEN1H/L,
ADCTMUEN0H/L registers. Setting a particular bit in
one of these registers effectively assigns the analog
output from the CTMU to the corresponding A/D input
channel, automatically enabling the CTMU. Many
devices will already have a CH0SAx bit combination
designated for use of the CTMU. This setting discon-
nects the converter from any other load. This channel
should be the one selected by the appropriate
ADCTMUEN bit. If another channel is selected, verify
that any other analog sources are disconnected from
that channel; otherwise, erroneous readings may
result.
For the negative (inverting) input of the amplifier, the
user has up to eight options, selected by the
CH0NA<2:0> and CH0NB<2:0> bits (ADCHS0L<7:5>
and ADCHS0H<7:5>, respectively). Options typically
include the device ground (AVSS), the current VR-
source designated by the NVCFG0 bit
(ADCON2H<5>), and one or more of the external
analog input channels. As with the non-inverting inputs,
the options vary by device family.
22.3.5.2 Alternating MUX A And MUX B Input
Selections
By default, the A/D Converter only samples and con-
verts the inputs selected by MUX A. The ALTS bit
(ADCON2L<0>) enables the module to alternate
between two sets of inputs selected by MUX A and
MUX B during successive samples.
If the ALTS bit is '0', only the inputs specified by the
CH0SAx and CH0NAx bits are selected for sampling.
When the ALTS bit is '1', the module will alternate
between the MUX A inputs on one sample and the
MUX B inputs on the subsequent sample.
If the ALTS bit is '1' on the first sample/convert
sequence, the inputs specified by the CH0SAx and
CH0NAx bits are selected for sampling. On the next
sample/convert sequence, the inputs specified by the
CH0SBx and CH0NBx bits are selected for sampling.
This pattern repeats for subsequent sample conversion
sequences.
22.3.5.3 Scanning Through Several Inputs
When using MUX A to select analog inputs, the A/D
module has the ability to scan multiple analog chan-
nels. When the CSCNA bit (ADCON2H<>) is set, the
CH0SA bits are ignored and the channels specified by
the ADCSS1H/L, ADCSS0H/L registers are sequen-
tially sampled.
Each bit in the ADCSS1H/L registers and ADCSS0H/L
registers (when implemented) corresponds to one of
the analog channels. If a bit in the ADCSS0H/L or
ADCSS1H/L registers is set, the corresponding analog
channel is included in the scan sequence. Inputs are
always scanned from lower to higher numbered inputs,
starting at the first selected channel after each interrupt
occurs.
The ADCSS1H/L, ADCSS0H/L registers' bits specify
the positive input of the channel. The CH0NAx bits still
select the negative input of the channel during
scanning.
Scanning is only available on the MUX A input
selection. The MUX B input selection, as specified by
the CH0SBx bits, will still select the alternating input.
When alternated sampling between MUX A and MUX
B is selected (ALTS = 1), the input will alternate
between a set of scanning inputs specified by the
ADCSS1H/L, ADCSS0H/L registers, and a fixed input
specified by the CH0SBx bits.
Automatic scanning can be used in conjunction with the
Threshold Detect feature to determine if one or more
analog channels meet a predetermined set of condi-
tions while the CPU is inactive. This is described in
detail in Section 22.7 “Threshold Detect Operation”.
22.3.5.4 Internal Channels In Low-power
Modes
While the A/D module can scan and convert analog
inputs in low-power modes, some internal analog
inputs may be unavailable in Sleep mode. The main
examples are the CTMU module, the internal band gap
voltage source and the on-chip voltage regulator (for
those devices that include one). The A/D module
provides a method to make these resources available
automatically through the CTMUREQ bit
(ADCON5H<5>). Setting one or more of these bits
causes the corresponding internal analog source(s) to
become active during a channel scan.
22.3.6 ENABLING THE MODULE
When the ADON bit (ADCON1H<7>) is set, the module
is fully powered and functional. When ADON is '0', the
module is disabled. Although the digital and analog
portions of the circuit are turned off for maximum
current savings, the contents of all registers are
maintained.
Note 1: If the number of scanned inputs selected
is greater than the number of samples
taken per interrupt, the higher numbered
inputs will not be sampled.
2: If the CTMU channel is to be included in
a scan operation, verify that the proper
analog input channel is selected and that
the AD1CTMEN register(s) are correctly
configured. For more information, see
Section 22.3.5.1 “Configuring MUX A
And MUX B Inputs”.
PIC18F97J94 FAMILY
DS30000575C-page 456 2012-2016 Microchip Technology Inc.
Conversion data stored in the ADCBUF registers will
also be maintained, including any threshold values
stored by the user. It may be necessary to re-initialize
these registers to their proper values before re-
enabling the module.
When enabling the module by setting the ADON bit, the
user must wait for the analog stages to stabilize. For
the stabilization time, refer to Section 30.0 “Electrical
Specifications.
22.4 Controlling the Sampling Process
22.4.1 MANUAL SAMPLING
Setting the SAMP bit (ADCON1L<1>) while the ASAM
bit (ADCON1L<2>) is clear causes the A/D to begin
sampling. Clearing the SAMP bit ends sampling and
automatically begins the conversion; however, there
must be a sufficient delay between setting and clearing
SAMP for the sampling process to start. Sampling will
not resume until the SAMP bit is once again set. For an
example, see Figure 22-4.
22.4.2 AUTOMATIC SAMPLING
Setting the ASAM bit causes the A/D to automatically
begin sampling after a conversion has been completed.
One of several options can be used as an event to end
sampling and complete the conversions. Sampling will
continue on the next selected channel after the conver-
sion in progress has completed. For an example, see
Figure 22-5.
22.4.3 MONITORING SAMPLE STATUS
The SAMP bit indicates the sampling state of the A/D.
Generally, when the SAMP bit clears, indicating the
end of sampling, the DONE bit is automatically cleared
to indicate the start of conversion. If SAMP is '0' while
DONE is '1', the A/D is in an inactive state.
22.4.4 ABORTING A SAMPLE
While in Manual Sampling mode, clearing the SAMP bit
will terminate sampling. If SSRC<3:0> = 0000, it may
also start a conversion automatically.
Clearing the ASAM bit while in Automatic Sampling
mode will not terminate an ongoing sample/convert
sequence; however, sampling will not automatically
resume after a subsequent conversion.
22.5 Controlling the Conversion
Process
The conversion trigger source will terminate sampling
and start a selected sequence of conversions. The
SSRC<3:0> bits (ADCON1L<7:4>) select the source of
the conversion trigger.
22.5.1 MANUAL CONTROL
When SSRC<3:0> = 0000, the conversion trigger is
under software control. Clearing the SAMP bit
(ADCON1L<1>) starts the conversion sequence.
Figure 22-4 is an example where setting the SAMP bit
initiates sampling, and clearing the SAMP bit
terminates sampling and starts conversion. The user
software must time the setting and clearing of the
SAMP bit to ensure adequate sampling time of the
input signal.
Figure 22-5 is an example where setting the ASAM bit
initiates automatic sampling, and clearing the SAMP bit
terminates sampling and starts conversion. After the
conversion completes, the module sets the SAMP bit
and returns to the sample state. The user software
must time the clearing of the SAMP bit to ensure

Note 1: The available conversion trigger sources
may vary depending on the PIC18F
device variant. Refer to the specific
device data sheet for the available
conversion trigger sources.
2: The SSRCx selection bits should not be
changed when the A/D module is
enabled. If the user wishes to change
the conversion trigger source, disable the
A/D module first by clearing the ADON bit
(AD1CON1<15>).

22.5.2 CLOCKED CONVERSION TRIGGER
When ADRC = 1, the conversion trigger is under A/D
clock control. The SAMCx bits (ADCON3H<4:0>)
select the number of TAD clock cycles between the
start of sampling and the start of conversion. After the
start of sampling, the module will count a number of
TAD clocks specified by the SAMCx bits. The SAMCx
bits must always be programmed for at least one clock
cycle to ensure sampling requirements are met.

trigger with the sampling started by the user software.

22.5.2.1 Free-running Sample Conversion
Sequence
Using the Auto-Convert Conversion Trigger mode
(SSRC<3:0> = 0111), in combination with the Auto-
Sample Start mode (ASAM = 1), allows the A/D module
to schedule sample/conversion sequences with no
intervention by the user or other device resources. This
“Clocked” mode, shown in Figure 22-7, allows continu-
ous data collection after module initialization.
Note that all timing in this mode scales with TAD, either
from the A/D internal RC clock or from TCY (as
prescaled by the ADCS<7:0> bits). In both cases, the
SAMC<4:0> bits set the number of TAD clocks in
TSAMP. TCONV is fixed at 12 TAD.
FIGURE 22-7: CONVERTING ONE CHANNEL, AUTO-SAMPLE START, TAD-BASED

22.5.2.2 Sample Time Considerations Using
Clocked Conversion Trigger And
Automatic Sampling
The user must ensure the sampling time satisfies the
sampling requirements, as outlined in Section 22.9 “A/
D Sampling Requirements”. Assuming that the mod-
ule is set for automatic sampling and using a clocked
conversion trigger, the sampling interval is specified by
the SAMCx bits.
22.5.3 EVENT TRIGGER CONVERSION
START
It is often desirable to synchronize the end of sampling
and the start of conversion with some other time event.
Depending on the device family, the A/D module has up
to 16 sources available to use as a conversion trigger
event. The event trigger is selected by the SSRC<3:0>
bits (ADCON1L<7:4>).
As noted, the available event triggers vary between
device families. Refer to the specific device data sheet
for specific information. The examples that follow
represent trigger sources that are implemented in most
devices. Note that the SSRCx bit assignments may
vary in some devices.
22.5.3.1 External Int0 Pin Trigger
When SSRC<3:0> = 0001, the A/D conversion is
triggered by an active transition on the INT0 pin. The
pin may be programmed for either a rising edge input
or a falling edge input.
22.5.3.2 Special Event Trigger
When SSRC<3:0> = 0010, the A/D is triggered by a
Special Event Trigger. Refer to CCP and ECCP section
for more information about Special Event Triggers.
22.5.3.3 Synchronizing A/D Operations To
Internal Or External Events
The modes where an external event trigger pulse ends
sampling and starts conversion may be used in combi-
nation with auto-sampling (ASAM = 1) to cause the A/
D to synchronize the sample conversion events to the
trigger pulse source. For example, in Figure 22-9,
where SSRC<3:0> = 0010 and ASAM = 1, the A/D will
always end sampling and start conversions synchro-
nously with the timer compare trigger event. The A/D
will have a sample conversion rate that corresponds to
the timer comparison event rate.

22.5.3.4 Sample Time Considerations For
Automatic Sampling/conversion
Sequences
Different sample/conversion sequences provide differ-
ent available sampling times for the S/H channel to
acquire the analog signal. The user must ensure the
sampling time satisfies the sampling requirements, as
outlined in Section 22.9 “A/D Sampling Require-
ments”.
Assuming that the module is set for automatic sam-
pling, and an external trigger pulse is used as the con-
version trigger, the sampling interval is a portion of the
trigger pulse interval. The sampling time is the trigger
pulse period, less the time required to complete the
conversion.

22.5.4 MONITORING SAMPLE/
CONVERSION STATUS
The DONE bit (ADCON1L<0>) indicates the conver-
sion state of the A/D. Generally, when the SAMP bit
clears, indicating the end of sampling, the DONE bit is
automatically cleared to indicate the start of conver-
sion. If SAMP is '0' while DONE is '1', the A/D is in an
inactive state.
In some operational modes, the SAMP bit may also
invoke and terminate sampling. In these modes, the
DONE bit cannot be used to terminate conversions in
progress.
22.5.5 GENERATING A/D INTERRUPTS
The SMPI<4:0> bits (ADCON2L<6:2>) control the
generation of the A/D Interrupt Flag, ADIF. The A/D
Interrupt Flag is set after the number of sample/conver-
sion sequences is specified by the SMPIx bits, after the
start of sampling, and continues to recur after that
number of samples. The value specified by the SMPIx
bits also corresponds to the number of data samples in
the buffer, up to the maximum of 16. To enable the
interrupt, it is necessary to set the A/D Interrupt Enable
bit, ADIE.
If auto-scan is enabled (ADCON5<7> = 1), interrupt
generation is controlled by the ASINTMDx bits
(ADCON5H<1:0>). For more information, refer to
Section 22.7.4 “Threshold Detect Interrupts”.
22.5.6 ABORTING A CONVERSION
Clearing the ADON bit during a conversion will abort
the current conversion. The A/D results buffer will not
be updated with the partially completed A/D conversion
sample; that is, the corresponding ADCBUF buffer
location will continue to contain the value of the last
completed conversion (or the last value written to the
buffer).
22.5.7 OFFSET CALIBRATION
The module provides a simple calibration method to
offset the effects of internal device noise. While not
always necessary, this may be helpful in situations
where weak analog signals are being converted.
Calibration is performed by using the OFFCAL bit
(ADCON2H<4>). This disconnects the S/H amplifier
entirely from any inputs. With the OFFCAL bit set, a
single reference conversion is performed. The results
of this conversion are value added by internal device
noise. This result can be stored by the application, then
used as an offset value for future conversions.
22.6 A/D Results Buffer
As conversions are completed, the module writes the
results of the conversions into the A/D result buffer.
This buffer is a RAM array of fixed word size, accessed
through the SFR space. The size of the buffer is deter-
mined by the number of external analog input channels
on the device, allowing one word for each channel.
Depending on the device, additional buffer space may
be provided for one or more internal analog channels
(e.g., band gap sources). The number of buffer
addresses is always even and always at least equal to
the number of external channels.
User software may attempt to read each A/D conver-
sion result as it is generated; however, this might
consume too much CPU time. Generally, to minimize
software overhead, the module will fill the buffer with
results and then generate an interrupt when the buffer
is filled.
22.6.1 NUMBER OF CONVERSIONS PER
INTERRUPT
The SMPI<4:0> bits select how many A/D conversions
will take place before the CPU is interrupted. This can
vary from 1 to 16 samples per interrupt. The A/D
Converter module always starts writing its conversion
results at the beginning of the buffer, after each
interrupt. For example, if SMPI<4:0> = 00000, the
conversion results will always be written to the ADC-
BUF0. In this example, no other buffer locations would
be used, since only one sequence per interrupt is spec-
ified.
22.6.2 BUFFER FILL MODES
The results buffer can be configured to operate in either
of two modes: a standard FIFO mode, compatible with
the earlier 10-bit A/D module (default), or a Channel
Indexed mode. The Fill mode is selected by the
BUFREGEN bit (ADCON2H<3>).
22.6.2.1 FIFO Modes
When BUFREGEN = 0, the results buffer operates in
FIFO mode. The first conversion results, after initiating
conversions, is written to the first available buffer
address. Subsequent conversions are written to the
next sequential buffer location, continuing until the
process is interrupted. If allowed to continue without
interrupts, the module would fill each location and then
wrap around to the first address, continuing the
process.
Note: This section describes buffer operation in
Legacy mode (ADCON5L<3:2> = 00).
Buffer operation is different when the
Compare Only or Compare and Save
modes are used with the Threshold Detect
feature. For more information, see Section
22.7 “Threshold Detect Operation”.
PIC18F97J94 FAMILY
DS30000575C-page 462 2012-2016 Microchip Technology Inc.
The BUFM bit (ADCON2L<1>) controls how the buffer
is filled. When BUFM is '1', the buffer is split into two
equal halves: a lower half (ADCBUF0 through ADC-
BUF[(n/2) - 1]) and an upper half (ADCBUF[n/2]
through ADCBUFn), where n is the number of available
analog channels (both internal and external). The
buffers will alternately receive the conversion results
after each interrupt event. The initial buffer used after
BUFM is set is the lower group.
When BUFM is '0', the entire buffer is used for all
conversion sequences.
The decision to use the split buffer feature will depend
upon how much time is available to move the buffer
contents after the interrupt, as determined by the
application. If the application can quickly unload a full
buffer within the time it takes to sample and convert one
channel, the BUFM bit can be '0', and up to 16 conver-
sions may be done per interrupt. The application will
have one sample/convert time before the first buffer
location is overwritten.
If the processor cannot unload the buffer within the
sample and conversion time, the BUFM bit should be
'1'. For example, if SMPI<4:0> = 00111, then eight
conversions will be loaded into the lower half of the
buffer, following which, an interrupt may occur. The
next eight conversions will be loaded into the upper half
of the buffer. The processor will, therefore, have the
entire time between interrupts to move the eight
conversions out of the buffer.
22.6.2.2 Buffer Fill Status
When the conversion result buffer is split (BUFM = 1),
the BUFS Status bit (ADCON2L<7>) indicates which
half of the buffer that the A/D Converter is currently writ-
ing. If BUFS = 0, the A/D Converter is filling the lower
group and the user application should read conversion
values from the upper group. If BUFS = 1, the situation
is reversed, and the user application should read
conversion values from the lower group.
22.6.2.3 Channel Indexed Mode
When BUFREGEN = 1, FIFO operation is disabled. In
this Fill mode, the conversion result for each channel is
written only to the buffer location that corresponds to
that channel. For example, any conversions performed
on AN0 are stored only in ADCBUF0. The same holds
true for AN1 and ADCBUF1, and so on. Subsequent
conversions on a particular channel that occur, prior to
an interrupt, will result in any previous data in that
location being overwritten.
Channel Indexed mode is particularly useful when used
with the Threshold Detect feature, as this allows the
user to easily test for a particular condition on a specific
analog channel without creating an excess of CPU
overhead. This is covered in more detail in Section
22.7 “Threshold Detect Operation”.
22.6.3 BUFFER DATA FORMATS
The results of each A/D conversion are 12 bits wide
(optionally, 10 bits wide in some devices). To maintain
data format compatibility, the result of each conversion
is automatically converted to one of four selectable, 16-
bit formats. The FORM<1:0> bits (ADCON1H<1:0>)
select the format. Figure 22-10 and Figure 22-11 show
the data output formats that can be selected. Table 22-
2 through Tab le 2 2-5 show the numerical equivalents
for the various conversion result codes.
FIGURE 22-10: A/D OUTPUT DATA FORMATS (12-BIT)
Note: When the BUFM bit is set, the user
should not program the SMPIx bits to a
value that specifies more than (n/2)
conversions per interrupt.

22.7 Threshold Detect Operation
Threshold Detect is a significant extension of the Auto-
Scan feature offered in previous 10-bit A/D modules. In
addition to being able to repeatedly sample a pre-
defined sequence of analog channels, Threshold
Detect allows the user to define match conditions
based on the conversion results and generate an inter-
rupt based on these conditions. During normal opera-
tion, this can potentially reduce the amount of CPU
time spent on processing A/D interrupts. For low-power
applications, this can allow the CPU to remain inactive
for longer periods, waking only when specific analog
conditions are met.
When selected by the user, Threshold Detect changes
the operation of the A/D results buffer by making it a
read/write array for both conversion results and com-
parison (threshold) values. It also brings into play the
ADCHIT registers, which are used to indicate match
conditions. Independently selectable comparison and
buffer storage settings make a wide range of operating
combinations possible.
22.7.1 OPERATING MODES
The operation of Threshold Detect is mostly controlled
by the ADCON5H/L registers. The ASENA bit
(ADCON5L<7>) controls overall operation of
Threshold Detect; setting this bit enables the
functionality.
As with Legacy Auto-Scan operation, the channels to
be included are selected using the ADCSS1H/L,
ADCSS0H/L registers. Setting a particular bit in either
register includes the corresponding channel in an
automatic sequential scan. One or more channels may
be selected. After the channels have been selected,
setting both the CSCNA and ASENA bits to enable a
single scan of the designated channels. The scan itself
is triggered by the trigger source programmed by the
SSRC<3:0> bits.

The LPENA bit (ADCON5H<6>) allows Threshold
Detect to function with a low-power feature. By design,
Threshold Detect can perform comparison operations
when the device is in Sleep or Idle modes, waking the
CPU when it generates an interrupt. Setting LPENA
configures the device to return to low-power operation
after the interrupt has been serviced.
The Compare Mode bits, CM<1:0> (ADCON5L<1:0>),
select the type of comparison to be performed. Four
types are available:
The result of the current conversion is greater
than a reference threshold
The result of the current conversion is less than a
reference threshold
The result of the current conversion is between
two predefined thresholds (“Inside Window”)
The result of the current conversion is outside of
the predefined thresholds (“Outside Window”)
The Write Mode bits, WM<1:0> (ADCON5L<3:2>),
determine the disposition of the conversion. Three
options are available:
Discard the conversion after the comparison has
been performed
Store the conversion after the comparison has
been performed
Store the conversion without comparison (Legacy
mode)
22.7.1.1 Buffer Operation And Comparisons
For Buffer Write modes that involve storing conver-
sions (WM<1:0> = 0x), the BUFM and BUFREGEN
bits control how the buffer functions (as a channel
indexed, single FIFO or split FIFO buffer). However,
when the compare and store option is selected
(WM<1:0> = 01), using a FIFO mode may overwrite the
buffers of other channels and cause unpredictable
comparison results. For that reason, always use
Channel Indexed Buffer mode (BUFREGEN = 1) when
using the compare and store option.
22.7.1.2 Buffer Operation In Windowed
Comparisons (Channel Mirroring)
The use of windowed comparisons changes the avail-
able options for the results buffer. To accommodate the
storage of two threshold values, the buffer is automati-
cally split into halves, similar to Split FIFO mode. Buffer
addresses in each half are paired, with the lowest
address in one buffer, matched to the buffer address in
the upper half. (For example, in a 16-word buffer, ADC-
BUF0 is paired with ADCBUF9, ADCBUF1 is paired
with ADCBUF10, and so on.) This pairing is referred to
as “channel mirroring”.
Mirroring can obviously be applied only to the lower A/
D channels; for most devices, this corresponds to the
lower half of the external analog channels. This does
not mean that those buffer locations cannot be used for
other purposes. However, storing any other data in a
particular buffer location, where channel mirroring is
being used, may result in misleading comparison
evaluations.
22.7.2 SETTING COMPARISON
THRESHOLDS
The comparison thresholds for Threshold Detect are
set by writing the desired values to an appropriate
location in the A/D results buffer. This can only be done
when the module is deactivated (ADCON1H<7> = 0).
The location of the threshold is determined by the
comparison type. For simple greater than, and less
than, comparisons, the value is written to the buffer
location corresponding to the input channel to be
monitored. For example, if AN0 is to be monitored for a
voltage over a certain level, the ceiling threshold is
stored in ADCBUF0.
The location of the thresholds for windowed compari-
sons are written to two addresses. The lower value is
written to the address corresponding to the monitored
channel. The upper value is stored in the correspond-
ing mirrored address in the upper half of the buffer. To
expand on the previous example, if the conversion on
AN0 is to be a windowed comparison, the floor thresh-
old is stored in ADCBUF0, while the ceiling threshold is
stored in ADCBUF9.
22.7.3 COMPARE HIT REGISTERS
To determine if a particular event has occurred, the A/
D module uses two registers to record match events.
These registers are referred to as the Compare Hit
registers and are designated, ADCHIT1H/L and
ADCHIT0H/L. The registers map their individual bits
sequentially to each of the (up to) 32 analog channels.
If a particular channel in a device is not implemented,
the corresponding Compare Hit bit (CHHn) is not
implemented.
Each bit serves as an event semaphore for its corre-
sponding channel. When the programmed event
occurs on that channel, the bit becomes set and stays
set until it is cleared by the application. It is the user's
responsibility to clear the bits after the application has
evaluated them.
Depending on the event, more than one Compare Hit bit
may be set. The significance of a set bit must be inter-
preted by the application in the context of the Compare
mode selected. Particular examples are covered in
Section 22.7.5 “Comparison Mode Examples.

22.7.4 THRESHOLD DETECT
INTERRUPTS
The A/D module can generate an interrupt and set the
ADIF flag based on Threshold Detect operation. This
is based on completion of a Threshold Detect
sequence and/or the occurrence of a valid compari-
son. When Threshold Detect is enabled (ASENA = 1),
A/D module interrupt generation is governed by the
ASINTMDx bits (ADCON5H<1:0>), superseding any
configuration implemented by the SMPIx bits
(ADCON2L<6:2>). For information on alternative
interrupt settings, refer to Section 22.6.1 “Number of
Conversions Per Interrupt”.
The Threshold Detect interrupt is configured by the
ASINTMD<1:0> bits (ADCON5H<1:0>). Options
include interrupt after a scan sequence, interrupt after
a scan sequence with a valid match, interrupt after a
valid match (without waiting for the sequence to end) or
no interrupt.
22.7.5 COMPARISON MODE EXAMPLES
The following examples show the effect of valid
comparisons on the results buffer and the
Compare Hit registers. In each figure, changes within
the registers are indicated in bold.
For the sake of simplicity, the examples assume a
device with only 16 analog inputs. Devices with a
greater number of channels, and thus, larger results
buffers and two Compare Hit registers, will function in a
similar fashion.
22.7.5.1 Simple Comparisons (Greater And
Less Than Results)
When the Compare Mode bits, CM<1:0>
(ADCON5L<1:0>), are programmed as '
0x
', the
converter compares the sampled value to see if it is
greater than (CM<1:0> =
01
), or less than (CM<1:0>
=
00
), the threshold value in the buffer location. If the con-
dition is met, both of the following occur:
The Compare Hit bit (CHHn) for the correspond-
ing channel is set.
If the Write Mode bits, WM<1:0>
(ADCON5L<3:2>), are programmed to '01', the
converted value is written to the buffer, replacing
the threshold value. If WM<1:0> = 10, the
converted value is discarded.
The changes to the result buffer and the Compare Hit
register are shown in Figure 22-13. Note that they are
the same for both types of simple comparison.
Note: When using any comparison mode,
always use channel indexed buffer
storage (BUFREGEN = 1). Otherwise,
the threshold values for other channels
may be overwritten, resulting in
unpredictable comparisons.

FIGURE 22-12: SIMPLE COMPARISON OPERATIONS (GREATER THAN AND LESS THAN)
22.7.5.2 Inside Window Comparison
When the Compare Mode bits, CM<1:0>, are
programmed as '10', the converter compares the sam-
pled value to see if it falls between the threshold values
in the buffer and mirrored channel location. Since the
value in the mirrored channel location is always the
greater value of the two thresholds, the condition is met
when:
Threshold 2 > Converted Value > Threshold 1
In this case, both of the following occur:
The Compare Hit bit (CHHn) for the correspond-
ing channel is set; the Compare Hit bit for the
mirrored channel remains cleared.
If the Write Mode bits, WM<1:0>
(ADCON5L<3:2>), are programmed to '01', the
converted value is written to the buffer, replacing
the lower threshold value. If WM<1:0> = 10, the
converted value is discarded.
The changes to the result buffer and the Compare Hit
register are shown in Figure 22-14.

FIGURE 22-13: INSIDE WINDOW COMPARISON OPERATION
22.7.5.3 Outside Window Comparison
When the Compare Mode bits CM<1:0> are
programmed as '11', the converter compares the
sampled value to see if it falls outside of the threshold
values in the buffer and mirrored channel location.
Again, since the value in the mirrored channel location
is always the greater value of the two thresholds, the
condition is met when either:
Convert ed Value >Threshold 2
or
Threshold 1 > Converted Value
In these cases, the following occurs:
The Compare Hit bit (CHHn) for the correspond-
ing channel is set.
If the converted value is greater than Threshold
2, the CHHn bit for the mirrored channel is also
set. If it is less than Threshold 1, the mirrored
channel bit remains '0'.
If the Write Mode bits, WM<1:0>
(ADCON5L<3:2>), are programmed to '01':
- If the converted value is above Threshold 2,
the converted value is written to the mirrored
channel address, replacing the upper thresh-
old value.
- If the converted value is below Threshold 1,
the converted value is written to the channel
address, replacing the lower threshold value.
If WM<1:0> = 10, the converted value is
discarded.
The changes to the result buffer and the Compare Hit
register are shown in Figure 22-15 (over the upper
threshold) and Figure 22-16 (under the lower thresh-
old).
Note that when a Windowed Comparison mode is
selected and channel mirroring is enabled, nothing pre-
vents a conversion from another operation from being
stored in the mirrored channel location. In the previous
examples of windowed operation, if AN10 is included in
a Threshold Detect operation, a conversion on AN10
might be tested against the upper threshold for AN2,
stored in that location. This could result in the threshold
value being overwritten and/or the CHH10 bit being set.

For this reason, users must always carefully consider
the allocation and use of the upper analog channels
(both external and internal) when using Windowed
Compare modes. Wherever possible, exclude the
upper analog channels for Threshold Detect
operations, and convert and test those channels in a
separate routine.

22.8 Examples
22.8.1 INITIALIZATION
Example 22-1 shows a simple initialization code
example for the A/D module. Operation in Idle mode is
disabled, output data is in unsigned fractional format,
and AVDD and AVSS are used for VR+ and VR-. The
start of sampling, as well as the start of conversion
(conversion trigger), are performed directly in software.
Scanning of inputs is disabled and an interrupt occurs
after every sample/convert sequence (one conversion
result) with only one channel (AN0) being converted.
The A/D conversion clock is TCY/2.
In this particular configuration, all 16 analog input pins
are set up as analog inputs. It is important to note that
with this A/D module, I/O pins are configured for analog
or digital operation at the I/O port with the ANSn Analog
Select registers. The use of these registers is
described in detail in the I/O Port chapter of the specific
device data sheet.
This example shows one method of controlling a
sample/convert sequence by manually setting and
clearing the SAMP bit (ADCON1L<1>). This method,
among others, is more fully discussed in Section 22.4
“Controlling the Sampling Process” and Section
22.5 “Controlling the Conversion Process”.

22.8.2 CONVERSION SEQUENCE
EXAMPLES
The following configuration examples show the A/D
operation in different sampling and buffering configura-
tions. In each example, setting the ASAM bit starts
automatic sampling. A conversion trigger ends
sampling and starts conversion.
22.8.2.1 Sampling and Converting a Single
Channel Multiple Times
In this case Figure 22-16, one A/D input, AN0, will be
sampled and converted. The results are stored in the
ADCBUFn buffer. This process repeats 16 times until
the buffer is full and then the module generates an
interrupt. The entire process will then repeat.
With the ALTS bit clear, only the MUX A inputs are
active. The CH0SAx and CH0NAx bits are specified
(AN0 - VR-) as the inputs to the Sample-and-Hold
channel. All other input selection bits are unused.

22.8.2.2 A/D Conversions While Scanning
Through All Analog Inputs
Figure 22-17 and Example 22-5 illustrate a typical
setup, where all available analog input channels are
sampled and converted. In this instance, 16 analog
inputs are assumed. The set CSCNA bit specifies
scanning of the A/D inputs to the S/H positive input.
Other conditions are similar to those located in Section
Section 22.8.2.1 “Sampling and Converting a
Single Channel Multiple Times”.
Initially, the AN0 input is sampled and converted. The
result is stored in the ADCBUFn buffer. Then, the AN1
input is sampled and converted. This process of scan-
ning the inputs repeats 16 times, until the buffer is full,
and then the module generates an interrupt. The entire
process will then repeat.

22.8.3 USING DUAL BUFFERS
Figure 22-18 and Example 22-6 demonstrate using
dual buffers and alternating the buffer fill.
Setting the BUFM bit enables dual buffers. In this
example, an interrupt is generated after each sample.
The BUFM setting does not affect other operational
parameters. First, the conversion sequence starts
filling the buffer at ADCBUF0. After the first interrupt
occurs, the buffer begins to fill at ADCBUF8. The BUFS
Status bit is toggled after each interrupt.

22.8.3.1 Using Alternating MUX A and MUX
B Input Selections
Figure 22-19 and Example 22-7 demonstrate alternate
sampling of the inputs assigned to MUX A and MUX B.
Setting the ALTS bit enables alternating input selec-
tions. The first sample uses the MUX A inputs specified
by the CH0SAx and CH0NAx bits. The next sample
uses the MUX B inputs, specified by the CH0SBx and
CH0NBx bits.
This example also demonstrates use of the dual,
8-word buffers. An interrupt occurs after every 8th
sample, resulting in filling eight words into the buffer on
each interrupt.

22.9 A/D Sampling Requirements
The Analog Input model of the 12-bit A/D Converter is
shown in Figure 22-20. The total sampling time for the
A/D is a function of the holding capacitor charge time.
For the A/D Converter to meet its specified accuracy,
the charge holding capacitor (CHOLD) must be allowed
to fully charge to the voltage level on the analog input
pin. The source impedance (RS), the interconnect
impedance (RIC) and the internal sampling switch
(RSS) impedance combine to directly affect the time
required to charge CHOLD. The combined impedance
of the analog sources must, therefore, be small enough
to fully charge the holding capacitor within the chosen
sample time. To minimize the effects of pin leakage
currents on the accuracy of the A/D Converter, the
maximum recommended source impedance, RS, is
2.5 k. After the analog input channel is selected
(changed), this sampling function must be completed
prior to starting the conversion. The internal holding
capacitor will be in a discharged state prior to each
sample operation.
At least 1 TAD time period should be allowed between
conversions for the sample time. For more details, see
Section 30.0 “Electrical Specifications”.

22.10 Transfer Functions
The transfer functions of the A/D Converter, in 12-bit
and 10-bit resolution, are shown in Figure 22-21 and
Figure 22-22, respectively. In both cases, the differ-
ence of the input voltages, (VINH - VINL), is compared
to the reference, ((VR+) - (VR-)).
For the 12-bit transfer function:
The first code transition occurs when the input
voltage is ((VR+) - (VR-))/4096 or 1.0 LSb.
•The '0000 0000 0001' code is centered at VR-
+ (1.5 * ((VR+) - (VR-)) / 4096).
•The '0010 0000 0000' code is centered at
VREFL + (2048.5 * ((VR+) - (VR-)) /4096).
An input voltage less than VR- + (((VR-) - (VR-)) /
4096) converts as '0000 0000 0000'.
An input voltage greater than (VR-) + (4096
((VR+) - (VR-))/4096) converts as '1111 1111

FIGURE 22-22: 10-BIT A/D TRANSFER FUNCTION
22.11 Operation During Sleep and Idle
Modes
Sleep and Idle modes are useful for minimizing conver-
sion noise because the digital activity of the CPU,
buses and other peripherals is minimized.
22.11.1 CPU SLEEP MODE WITHOUT RC A/
D CLOCK
When the device enters Sleep mode, all clock sources
to the module are shut down and stay at logic '0'.
If Sleep occurs in the middle of a conversion, the
conversion is aborted unless the A/D is clocked from its
internal RC clock generator. The converter will not
resume a partially completed conversion on exiting
from Sleep mode.
Register contents are not affected by the device
entering or leaving Sleep mode.
22.11.2 CPU SLEEP MODE WITH RC A/D
CLOCK
The A/D module can operate during Sleep mode if the
A/D clock source is set to the internal A/D RC oscillator
(ADRC = 1). This eliminates digital switching noise
from the conversion. When the conversion is
completed, the DONE bit will be set and the result is
loaded into the A/D Result Buffer n, ADCBUFn.
If the A/D interrupt is enabled (ADIE = 1), the device will
wake-up from Sleep when the A/D interrupt occurs.
Program execution will resume at the A/D Interrupt
Service Routine (ISR). After the ISR completes execu-
tion will continue from the instruction after the SLEEP
instruction that placed the device in Sleep mode.
If the A/D interrupt is not enabled, the A/D module will
then be turned off, although the ADON bit will remain
set.

To minimize the effects of digital noise on the A/D
module operation, the user should select a conversion
trigger source that ensures the A/D conversion will take
place in Sleep mode. The automatic conversion trigger
option can be used for sampling and conversion in
Sleep (SSRC<3:0> = 0111). To use the automatic
conversion option, the ADON bit should be set in the
instruction prior to the SLEEP instruction.
22.11.3 A/D OPERATION DURING CPU IDLE
MODE
The module will continue normal operation when the
device enters Idle mode. If the A/D interrupt is enabled
(ADIE = 1), the device will wake-up from Idle mode
when the A/D interrupt occurs. If the respective global
interrupt enable bit(s) are also set, program execution
will resume at the A/D Interrupt Service Routine (ISR).
After the ISR completes, execution will continue from
the instruction after the SLEEP instruction that placed
the device in Idle mode.
22.11.4 PERIPHERAL MODULE DISABLE
(PMD) REGISTER
The Peripheral Module Disable (PMD) registers
provide a method to disable the A/D module by stop-
ping all clock sources supplied to that module. When a
peripheral is disabled via the appropriate PMDx control
bit, the peripheral is in a minimum power consumption
state. The control and STATUS registers associated
with the peripheral will also be disabled, so writes to
those registers will have no effect and read values will
be invalid. The A/D module is enabled only when the
ADCMD bit in the PMD3 register is cleared.
22.12 Design Tips
Question 1: How can I optimize the system perfor-
mance of the A/D Converter?
Answer: There are three main things to consider in
optimizing A/D performance:
1. Make sure you are meeting all of the timing
specifications. If you are turning the module off
and on, there is a minimum delay you must wait
before taking a sample. If you are changing
input channels, there is a minimum delay you
must wait for this as well, and finally, there is
TAD, which is the time selected for each bit
conversion. This is selected in AD1CON3 and
should be within a certain range, as specified in
Section 30.0 “Electrical Specifications”. If
TAD is too short, the result may not be fully con-
verted before the con- version is terminated, and
if TAD is made too long, the voltage on the sam-
pling capacitor can decay before the conversion
is complete. These timing specifications are
provided in the “Electrical Characteristics
section of the device data sheets.
2. Often, the source impedance of the analog
signal is high (greater than 2.5 k), so the
current drawn from the source by leakage, and
to charge the sample capacitor, can affect
accuracy. If the input signal does not change too
quickly, try putting a 0.1 uF capacitor on the
analog input. This capacitor will charge to the
analog voltage being sampled and supply the
instantaneous current needed to charge the
internal holding capacitor.
3. Put the device into Sleep mode before the start
of the A/D conversion. The RC clock source
selection is required for conversions in Sleep
mode. This technique increases accuracy,
because digital noise from the CPU and other
peripherals is minimized.
Question 2: Do you know of a good reference on A/
D Converters?
Answer: A good reference for understanding A/D
conversions is the “Analog-Digital Conversion
Handbook third edition, published by Prentice Hall
(ISBN 0-13-03-2848-0).
Question 3: My combination of channels/samples
and samples/interrupt is greater than the size of the
buffer. What will happen to the buffer?
Answer: This configuration is not recommended. The
buffer will contain unknown results.

23.0 COMPARATOR MODULE
The analog comparator module contains three compar-
ators that can be independently configured in a variety
of ways. The inputs can be selected from the analog
inputs and two internal voltage references. The digital
outputs are available at the pin level, via PPS-Lite, and
can also be read through the control register. Multiple
output and interrupt event generations are also avail-
able. A generic single comparator from the module is
shown in Figure 23-1.
Key features of the module includes:
Independent comparator control
Programmable input configuration
Output to both pin and register levels
Programmable output polarity
Independent interrupt generation for each
comparator with configurable interrupt-on-change
23.1 Registers
The CMxCON registers (CM1CON, CM2CON and
CM3CON) select the input and output configuration for
each comparator, as well as the settings for interrupt
generation (see Register 23-1).
The CMSTAT register (Register 23-2) provides the out-
put results of the comparators. The bits in this register
are read-only.

23.2 Comparator Operation
A single comparator is shown in Figure 23-2, along with
the relationship between the analog input levels and
the digital output. When the analog input at VIN+ is less
than the analog input, VIN-, the output of the compara-
tor is a digital low level. When the analog input at VIN+
is greater than the analog input, VIN-, the output of the
comparator is a digital high level. The shaded areas of
the output of the comparator in Figure 23-2 represent
the uncertainty due to input offsets and response time.
FIGURE 23-2: SINGLE COMPARATOR
23.3 Comparator Response Time
Response time is the minimum time, after selecting a
new reference voltage or input source, before the com-
parator output has a valid level. The response time of
the comparator differs from the settling time of the volt-
age reference. Therefore, both of these times must be
considered when determining the total response to a
comparator input change. Otherwise, the maximum
delay of the comparators should be used (see
Section 30.0 “Electrical Specifications”).
23.4 Analog Input Connection
Considerations
A simplified circuit for an analog input is shown in
Figure 23-3. Since the analog pins are connected to a
digital output, they have reverse biased diodes to VDD
and VSS. The analog input, 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 condition may
occur.
A maximum source impedance of 10 k is
recommended for the analog sources. Any external
component connected to an analog input pin, such as
a capacitor or a Zener diode, should have very little
leakage current.

23.5 Comparator Control and
Configuration
Each comparator has up to eight possible combina-
tions of inputs: up to four external analog inputs and
one of two internal voltage references.
All of the comparators allow a selection of the signal
from pin, CxINA, or the voltage from the Comparator
Reference (CVREF) on the non-inverting channel. This
is compared to either CxINB, CxINC, C2IND or the
microcontroller’s fixed internal reference voltage (VBG,
1.2V nominal) on the inverting channel. The compara-
tor inputs and outputs are tied to fixed I/O pins, defined
in Table 23-1. The available comparator configurations
and their corresponding bit settings are shown in

23.5.1 COMPARATOR ENABLE AND
INPUT SELECTION
Setting the CON bit of the CMxCON register
(CMxCON<7>) enables the comparator for operation.
Clearing the CON bit disables the comparator, resulting
in minimum current consumption.
The CCH<1:0> bits in the CMxCON register
(CMxCON<1:0>) direct either one of three analog input
pins, or the Internal Reference Voltage (VBG), to the
comparator, VIN-. Depending on the comparator oper-
ating mode, either an external or internal voltage
reference may be used.
The analog signal present at VIN- is compared to the
signal at VIN+ and the digital output of the comparator
is adjusted accordingly.
The external reference is used when CREF = 0
(CMxCON<2>) and VIN+ is connected to the CxINA
pin. When external voltage references are used, the
comparator module can be configured to have the ref-
erence sources externally. The reference signal must
be between VSS and VDD and can be applied to either
pin of the comparator.
The comparator module also allows the selection of an
internally generated voltage reference from the Compar-
ator Voltage Reference (CVREF) module. This module is
described in more detail in Section 24.0 “Comparator
Voltage Reference Module”. The reference from the
comparator voltage reference module is only available
when CREF = 1. In this mode, the internal voltage
reference is applied to the comparator’s VIN+ pin.
23.5.2 COMPARATOR ENABLE AND
OUTPUT SELECTION
The comparator outputs are read through the CMSTAT
register. The CMSTAT<0> bit reads the Comparator 1
output, CMSTAT<2> reads the Comparator 2 output
and the CMSTAT<3> bit reads the Comparator 3 output
These bits are read-only.
The comparator outputs may also be directly output to
the RPn I/O pins by setting the COE bit (CMxCON<6>).
When enabled, multiplexers in the output path of the
pins switch to the output of the comparator. While in this
mode, the respective TRISx bits still function as the
digital output enable bits for the RPn I/O pins.
By default, the comparator’s output is at logic high
whenever the voltage on VIN+ is greater than on VIN-.
The polarity of the comparator outputs can be inverted
using the CPOL bit (CMxCON<5>).
The uncertainty of each of the comparators is related to
the input offset voltage and the response time given in
the specifications, as discussed in Section 23.2
“Comparator Operation”.
Note: The comparator input pin selected by
CCH<1:0> must be configured as an input
by setting both the corresponding TRISx bit
and the corresponding ANSELx bit in the
ANCONx register.

23.6 Comparator Interrupts
The comparator interrupt flag is set whenever any of
the following occurs:
Low-to-high transition of the comparator output
High-to-low transition of the comparator output
Any change in the comparator output
The comparator interrupt selection is done by the
EVPOL<1:0> bits in the CMxCON register
(CMxCON<4:3>).
In order to provide maximum flexibility, the output of the
comparator may be inverted using the CPOL bit in the
CMxCON register (CMxCON<5>). This is functionally
identical to reversing the inverting and non-inverting
inputs of the comparator for a particular mode.
An interrupt is generated on the low-to-high or high-to-
low transition of the comparator output. This mode of
interrupt generation is dependent on EVPOL<1:0> in
the CMxCON register. When EVPOL<1:0> = 01 or 10,
the interrupt is generated on a low-to-high or high-to-
low transition of the comparator output. Once the
interrupt is generated, it is required to clear the interrupt
flag by software.
When EVPOL<1:0> = 11, the comparator interrupt flag
is set whenever there is a change in the output value of
either comparator. Software will need to maintain
information about the status of the output bits, as read
from CMSTAT<2:0>, to determine the actual change
that occurred.
The CMPxIF<2:0> (PIR6<2:0>) bits are the Compara-
tor Interrupt Flags. The CMPxIF bits must be reset by
clearing them. Since it is also possible to write a 1’ to
this register, a simulated interrupt may be initiated.
Table 23-2 shows the interrupt generation with respect
to comparator input voltages and EVPOL bit settings.
Both the CMPxIE bits (PIE6<2:0>) and the PEIE bit
(INTCON<6>) must be set to enable the interrupt. In
addition, the GIE bit (INTCON<7>) must also be set. If
any of these bits are clear, the interrupt is not enabled,
though the CMPxIF bits will still be set if an interrupt
condition occurs.
A simplified diagram of the interrupt section is shown in
Figure 23-3.

23.7 Comparator Operation
During Sleep
When a comparator is active and the device is placed
in Sleep mode, the comparator remains active and the
interrupt is functional, if enabled. This interrupt will
wake-up the device from Sleep mode when enabled.
Each operational comparator will consume additional
current.
To minimize power consumption while in Sleep mode,
turn off the comparators (CON = 0) before entering
Sleep. If the device wakes up from Sleep, the contents
of the CMxCON register are not affected.
23.8 Effects of a Reset
A device Reset forces the CMxCON registers to their
Reset state. This forces both comparators and the
voltage reference to the OFF state.

24.0 COMPARATOR VOLTAGE
REFERENCE MODULE
The comparator voltage reference is a 32-tap resistor
ladder network that provides a selectable reference
voltage. Although its primary purpose is to provide a
reference for the analog comparators, it may also be
used independently of them.
A block diagram of the module is shown in Figure 24-1.
The resistor ladder is segmented to provide a range of
CVREF values and has a power-down function to
conserve power when the reference is not being used.
The module’s supply reference can be provided from
either device VDD/VSS or an external voltage reference.
24.1 Configuring the Comparator
Voltage Reference
The comparator voltage reference module is controlled
through the CVRCONH register (Register 24-1). The
comparator voltage reference provides a range of
output voltage with 32 levels.
The CVR<4:0> selection bits (CVRCONH<4:0>) offer a
range of output voltages. Equation 24-1 shows how the
comparator voltage reference is computed.
EQUATION 24-1:
The comparator voltage reference supply can come
from either VDD and VSS, or the external VREF+ and
VREF- that are multiplexed with RA3 and RA2. The
voltage source is selected by the CVRPSS<1:0> bits
(CVRCONL<5:4>).
The settling time of the comparator voltage reference
must be considered when changing the CVREF out-
put (see Table 30-13 in Section 30.0 “Electrical
Specifications).

24.2 Voltage Reference Accuracy/Error
The full range of voltage reference cannot be realized
due to the construction of the module. The transistors
on the top and bottom of the resistor ladder network
(Figure 24-1) keep CVREF from approaching the refer-
ence source rails. The voltage reference is derived
from the reference source; therefore, the CVREF output
changes with fluctuations in that source. The tested
absolute accuracy of the voltage reference can be
found in Section 30.0 “Electrical Specifications”.
24.3 Operation During Sleep
When the device wakes up from Sleep through an
interrupt or a Watchdog Timer time-out, the contents of
the CVRCON register are not affected. To minimize
current consumption in Sleep mode, the voltage
reference should be disabled.
24.4 Effects of a Reset
A device Reset disables the voltage reference by
clearing bit, CVREN (CVRCONL<7>). This Reset also
disconnects the reference from the RF5 pin by clearing
bit, CVROE (CVRCONL<6>).
24.5 Connection Considerations
The voltage reference module operates independently
of the comparator module. The output of the reference
generator may be connected to the RA0 pin if the
CVROE bit is set. Enabling the voltage reference out-
put onto RA0, when it is configured as a digital input,
will increase current consumption. Connecting RA0 as
a digital output with CVRSS enabled will also increase
current consumption.
The RA0 pin can be used as a simple D/A output with
limited drive capability. Due to the limited current drive
capability, a buffer must be used on the voltage
reference output for external connections to VREF.
Figure 24-2 shows an example buffering technique.

25.0 HIGH/LOW-VOLTAGE DETECT
(HLVD)
The PIC18FXXJ94 of devices has a High/Low-Voltage
Detect module (HLVD). This is a programmable circuit
that sets 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 execu-
tion branches to the interrupt vector address and the
software responds to the interrupt.
The High/Low-Voltage Detect Control register
(Register 25-1) completely 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 module’s block diagram is shown in Figure 25-1.

The module is enabled by setting the HLVDEN bit
(HLVDCON<4>). Each time the HLVD module is
enabled, the circuitry requires some time to stabilize.
The IRVST bit (HLVDCON<5>) is a read-only bit 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 (HLVDCON<7>) determines the
overall operation of the module. When VDIRMAG is
cleared, the module monitors for drops in VDD below a
predetermined set point. When the bit is set, the
module monitors for rises in VDD above the set point.
25.1 Operation
When the HLVD module is enabled, a comparator uses
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 point voltage is software programmable to any of
16 values. The trip point is selected by programming the
HLVDL<3:0> bits (HLVDCON<3:0>).
The HLVD module has an additional feature that allows
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 the flexibility of configur-
ing the High/Low-Voltage Detect interrupt to occur at
any voltage in the valid operating range.

25.2 HLVD Setup
To set up the HLVD module:
1. Select the desired HLVD trip point by writing the
value to the HLVDL<3:0> bits.
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 (PIR2<2>), which
may have been set from a previous interrupt.
5. If interrupts are desired, enable the HLVD inter-
rupt by setting the HLVDIE and GIE bits
(PIE2<2> and INTCON<7>, respectively).
An interrupt will not be generated until the IRVST bit is
set.
25.3 Current Consumption
When the module is enabled, the HLVD comparator
and voltage divider are enabled and consume static
current.
Depending on the application, the HLVD module does
not need to operate constantly. To reduce current
requirements, the HLVD circuitry may only need to be
enabled for short periods where the voltage is checked.
After such a check, the module could be disabled.
25.4 HLVD Start-up Time
The internal reference voltage of the HLVD module,
specified in electrical specification, Parameter 37
(Section 30.0 “Electrical Specifications”), 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
voltage circuit will require time to become stable before
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 37 (Table 30-26).
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 (see Figure 25-2 or
Figure 25-3).
Note: Before changing any module settings
(VDIRMAG, HLVDL<3:0>), first disable the
module (HLVDEN = 0), make the changes
and re-enable the module. This prevents
the generation of false HLVD events.

25.5 Applications
In many applications, it is desirable to detect a drop
below, or rise above, a particular voltage threshold. For
example, the HLVD module could be periodically
enabled to detect Universal Serial Bus (USB) attach or
detach. This assumes the device is powered by a lower
voltage source than the USB when detached. An attach
would indicate a high-voltage detect from, for example,
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 25-4 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 a controlled shutdown, before the device
voltage exits the valid operating range at TB. This would
give the application a time window, represented by the
difference between TA and TB, to safely exit.
FIGURE 25-4: TYPICAL LOW-VOLTAGE
DETECT APPLICATION
25.6 Operation During Sleep
When enabled, the HLVD circuitry continues to operate
during Sleep. If the device voltage crosses the trip
point, the HLVDIF bit will be set and the device will
wake-up from Sleep. Device execution will continue
from the interrupt vector address if interrupts have
been globally enabled.

A device Reset forces all registers to their Reset state.
This forces the HLVD module to be turned off.

26.0 CHARGE TIME
MEASUREMENT UNIT (CTMU)
The Charge Time Measurement Unit (CTMU) is a
flexible analog module that provides accurate differen-
tial time measurement between pulse sources, as well
as asynchronous pulse generation. By working with
other on-chip analog modules, the CTMU can precisely
measure time, capacitance and relative changes in
capacitance or generate output pulses with a specific
time delay. The CTMU is ideal for interfacing with
capacitive-based sensors.
The module includes these key features:
Up to 24 channels available for capacitive or time
measurement input
Low-cost temperature measurement using on-chip
diode channel
On-chip precision current source
Sixteen-edge input trigger sources
Polarity control for each edge source
Provides a trigger for the A/D Converter
Control of edge sequence
Control of response to edges
Time measurement resolution of 1 nanosecond
High-precision time measurement
Time delay of external or internal signal
asynchronous to system clock
Accurate current source suitable for capacitive
measurement
The CTMU works in conjunction with the A/D Converter
to provide up to 24 channels for time or charge
measurement, depending on the specific device and
the number of A/D channels available. When config-
ured for time delay, the CTMU is connected to one of
the analog comparators. The level-sensitive input edge
sources can be selected from four sources: two
external inputs or the CCP1/CCP2 Special Event
Triggers.
The CTMU special event can trigger the Analog-to-Digital
Converter module.
Figure 26-1 provides a block diagram of the CTMU.

26.2 CTMU Operation
The CTMU works by using a fixed current source to
charge a circuit. The type of circuit depends on the type
of measurement being made.
In the case of charge measurement, the current is fixed
and the amount of time the current is applied to the cir-
cuit is fixed. The amount of voltage read by the A/D
becomes a measurement of the circuit’s capacitance.
In the case of time measurement, the current, as well
as the capacitance of the circuit, is fixed. In this case,
the voltage read by the A/D is representative of the
amount of time elapsed from the time the current
source starts and stops charging the circuit.
If the CTMU is being used as a time delay, both capaci-
tance and current source are fixed, as well as the voltage
supplied to the comparator circuit. The delay of a signal
is determined by the amount of time it takes the voltage
to charge to the comparator threshold voltage.
26.2.1 THEORY OF OPERATION
The operation of the CTMU is based on the equation
for charge:
More simply, the amount of charge measured in
coulombs in a circuit is defined as current in amperes
(I), multiplied by the amount of time in seconds that the
current flows (t). Charge is also defined as the capaci-
tance in farads (C), multiplied by the voltage of the
circuit (V). It follows that:
The CTMU module provides a constant, known current
source. The A/D Converter is used to measure (V) in
the equation, leaving two unknowns: capacitance (C)
and time (t). The above equation can be used to calcu-
late capacitance or time, by either the relationship
using the known fixed capacitance of the circuit:
or by:
using a fixed time that the current source is applied to
the circuit.
26.2.2 CURRENT SOURCE
At the heart of the CTMU is a precision current source,
designed to provide a constant reference for measure-
ments. The level of current is user-selectable across
three ranges, or a total of two orders of magnitude, with
the ability to trim the output in ±2% increments
(nominal). The current range is selected by the
IRNG<1:0> bits (CTMUCON1<1:0>), with a value of
01’ representing the lowest range.
Current trim is provided by the ITRIM<5:0> bits
(CTMUCON1<7:2>). These six bits allow trimming of
the current source, in steps of approximately 2% per
step. Half of the range adjusts the current source posi-
tively and the other half reduces the current source. A
value of ‘000000’ is the neutral position (no change). A
value of ‘100001’ is the maximum negative adjustment
(approximately -62%) and ‘011111’ is the maximum
positive adjustment (approximately +62%).
26.2.3 EDGE SELECTION AND CONTROL
CTMU measurements are controlled by edge events
occurring on the module’s two input channels. Each chan-
nel, referred to as Edge 1 and Edge 2, can be configured
to receive input pulses from one of the edge input pins
(CTED1 and CTED2) or CCPx Special Event Triggers
(CCP1 and CCP2). The input channels are level-sensitive,
responding to the instantaneous level on the channel
rather than a transition between levels. The inputs are
selected using the EDG1SELx (CTMUCON2<5:2>) and
EDG2SELx (CTMUCON3<5:2>) bit pairs.
In addition to source, each channel can be config-
ured for event polarity using the EDGE2POL (CTMU-
CON2<6>) and EDGE1POL (CTMUCON3<6> bits.
The input channels can also be filtered for an edge
event sequence (Edge 1 occurring before Edge 2) by
setting the EDGSEQEN bit (CTMUCON<2>).
26.2.4 EDGE STATUS
The CTMUCON3 register also contains two Edge
Status bits: EDG2STAT and EDG1STAT
(CTMUCON3<1:0>). Their primary function is to show
if an edge response has occurred on the corresponding
channel. The CTMU automatically sets a particular bit
when an edge response is detected on its channel. The
level-sensitive nature of the input channels also means
that the Status bits become set immediately if the
channels configuration is changed and matches the
channel’s current state.
The module uses the Edge Status bits to control the
current source output to external analog modules (such
as the A/D Converter). Current is only supplied to exter-
nal modules when only one (not both) of the Status bits
is set. Current is shut off when both bits are either set
or cleared. This allows the CTMU to measure current
only during the interval between edges. After both
Status bits are set, it is necessary to clear them before
another measurement is taken. Both bits should be
cleared simultaneously, if possible, to avoid re-enabling
the CTMU current source.
In addition to being set by the CTMU hardware, the
Edge Status bits can also be set by software. This per-
mits a user application to manually enable or disable
the current source. Setting either (but not both) of the
bits enables the current source. Setting or clearing both
bits at once disables the source.

DS30000575C-page 506 2012-2016 Microchip Technology Inc.
26.2.5 INTERRUPTS
The CTMU sets its interrupt flag (PIR3<3>) whenever
the current source is enabled, then disabled. An inter-
rupt is generated only if the corresponding interrupt
enable bit (PIE3<3>) is also set. If edge sequencing is
not enabled (i.e., Edge 1 must occur before Edge 2), it
is necessary to monitor the Edge Status bits, and
determine which edge occurred last and caused the
interrupt.
26.3 CTMU Module Initialization
The following sequence is a general guideline used to
initialize the CTMU module:
1. Select the current source range using the
IRNGx bits (CTMUCON1<1:0>).
2. Adjust the current source trim using the ITRIMx
bits (CTMUCON1<7:2>).
3. Configure the edge input sources for Edge 1
and Edge 2 by setting the EDG1SELx and
EDG2SELx bits (CTMUCON3<5:2> and CTMU-
CON2<5:2>, respectively).
4. Configure the input polarities for the edge inputs
using the EDG1POL and EDG2POL bits
(CTMUCON3<6> and CTMUCON2<6>).
The default configuration is for negative edge
polarity (high-to-low transitions).
5. Enable edge sequencing using the EDGSEQEN
bit (CTMUCON<2>).
By default, edge sequencing is disabled.
6. Select the operating mode (Measurement or
Time Delay) with the TGEN bit
(CTMUCON<4>).
The default mode is Time/Capacitance
Measurement mode.
7. Configure the module to automatically trigger
an A/D conversion when the second edge
event has occurred using the CTTRIG bit
(CTMUCON<0>).
The conversion trigger is disabled by default.
8. Discharge the connected circuit by setting the
IDISSEN bit (CTMUCON<1>).
9. After waiting a sufficient time for the circuit to
discharge, clear the IDISSEN bit.
10. Disable the module by clearing the CTMUEN bit
(CTMUCON<7>).
11. Clear the Edge Status bits, EDG2STAT and
EDG1STAT (CTMUCON3<1:0>).
Both bits should be cleared simultaneously, if
possible, to avoid re-enabling the CTMU current
source.
12. Enable both edge inputs by setting the EDGEN
bit (CTMUCON<3>).
13. Enable the module by setting the CTMUEN bit.
Depending on the type of measurement or pulse
generation being performed, one or more additional
modules may also need to be initialized and configured
with the CTMU module:
Edge Source Generation: In addition to the
external edge input pins, CCP1/CCP2 Special
Event Triggers can be used as edge sources for
the CTMU.
Capacitance or Time Measurement: The CTMU
module uses the A/D Converter to measure the
voltage across a capacitor that is connected to one
of the analog input channels.
Pulse Generation: When generating system clock
independent, output pulses, the CTMU module
uses Comparator 2 and the associated
comparator voltage reference.
26.4 Calibrating the CTMU Module
The CTMU requires calibration for precise measure-
ments of capacitance and time, as well as for accurate
time delay. If the application only requires measurement
of a relative change in capacitance or time, calibration is
usually not necessary. An example of a less precise
application is a capacitive touch switch, in which the
touch circuit has a baseline capacitance and the added
capacitance of the human body changes the overall
capacitance of a circuit.
If actual capacitance or time measurement is required,
two hardware calibrations must take place:
The current source needs calibration to set it to a
precise current.
The circuit being measured needs calibration to
measure or nullify any capacitance other than that
to be measured.
26.4.1 CURRENT SOURCE CALIBRATION
The current source on board the CTMU module has a
range of ±62% nominal for each of three current
ranges. For precise measurements, it is possible to
measure and adjust this current source by placing a
high-precision resistor, RCAL, onto an unused analog
channel. An example circuit is shown in Figure 26-2.
To measure the current source:
1. Initialize the A/D Converter.
2. Initialize the CTMU.
3. Enable the current source by setting EDG1STAT
(CTMUCON3<0>).
4. Issue time delay for voltage across RCAL to
stabilize and the A/D Sample-and-Hold (S/H)
capacitor to charge.
5. Perform the A/D conversion.
6. Calculate the current source current using
I=V/R
CAL, where RCAL is a high-precision
resistance and V is measured by performing an
A/D conversion.

PIC18F97J94 FAMILY
The CTMU current source may be trimmed with the
ITRIMx bits in CTMUCON1, using an iterative process
to get the exact current desired. Alternatively, the nom-
inal value without adjustment may be used. That value
may be stored by software for use in all subsequent
capacitive or time measurements.
To calculate the optimal value for RCAL, the nominal
current must be chosen.
For example, if the A/D Converter reference voltage is
3.3V, use 70% of full scale (or 2.31V) as the desired
approximate voltage to be read by the A/D Converter. If
the range of the CTMU current source is selected to be
0.55 A, the resistor value needed is calculated as
RCAL = 2.31V/0.55 A, for a value of 4.2 M. Similarly,
if the current source is chosen to be 5.5 A, RCAL would
be 420,000, and 42,000 if the current source is set
to 55 A.
FIGURE 26-2: CTMU CURRENT SOURCE
CALIBRATION CIRCUIT
A value of 70% of full-scale voltage is chosen to make
sure that the A/D Converter is in a range that is well
above the noise floor. If an exact current is chosen to
incorporate the trimming bits from CTMUCON1, the
resistor value of RCAL may need to be adjusted accord-
ingly. RCAL also may be adjusted to allow for available
resistor values. RCAL should be of the highest precision
available in light of the precision needed for the circuit
that the CTMU will be measuring. A recommended
minimum would be 0.1% tolerance.
The following examples show a typical method for
performing a CTMU current calibration.
Example 26-1 demonstrates how to initialize the
A/D Converter and the CTMU.
This routine is typical for applications using both
modules.
Example 26-2 demonstrates one method for the
actual calibration routine.
This method manually triggers the A/D Converter to
demonstrate the entire step-wise process. It is also
possible to automatically trigger the conversion by
setting the CTMU’s CTTRIG bit (CTMUCON<0>).

26.4.2 CAPACITANCE CALIBRATION
There is a small amount of capacitance from the inter-
nal A/D Converter sample capacitor, as well as stray
capacitance from the circuit board traces and pads that
affect the precision of capacitance measurements. A
measurement of the stray capacitance can be taken by
making sure the desired capacitance to be measured
has been removed.
After removing the capacitance to be measured:
1. Initialize the A/D Converter and the CTMU.
2. Set EDG1STAT (= 1).
3. Wait for a fixed delay of time, t.
4. Clear EDG1STAT.
5. Perform an A/D conversion.
6. Calculate the stray and A/D sample capacitances:
Where:
I is known from the current source measurement
step
t is a fixed delay
V is measured by performing an A/D conversion
This measured value is then stored and used for
calculations of time measurement or subtracted for
capacitance measurement. For calibration, it is
expected that the capacitance of CSTRAY +CAD is
approximately known; CAD is approximately 4 pF.
An iterative process may be required to adjust the time,
t, that the circuit is charged to obtain a reasonable volt-
age reading from the A/D Converter. The value of t may
be determined by setting COFFSET to a theoretical value
and solving for t. For example, if CSTRAY is theoretically
calculated to be 11 pF, and V is expected to be 70% of
VDD or 2.31V, t would be:
or 63 s.
See Example 26-3 for a typical routine for CTMU
capacitance calibration.
COFFSET = CSTRAY + CAD = (I • t)/V

26.5 Measuring Capacitance with the
CTMU
There are two ways to measure capacitance with the
CTMU. The absolute method measures the actual
capacitance value. The relative method only measures
for any change in the capacitance.
26.5.1 ABSOLUTE CAPACITANCE
MEASUREMENT
For absolute capacitance measurements, both the
current and capacitance calibration steps found in
Section 26.4 “Calibrating the CTMU Module” should
be followed.
To perform these measurements:
1. Initialize the A/D Converter.
2. Initialize the CTMU.
3. Set EDG1STAT.
4. Wait for a fixed delay, T.
5. Clear EDG1STAT.
6. Perform an A/D conversion.
7. Calculate the total capacitance, CTOTAL = (I * T)/V,
where:
I is known from the current source
measurement step (Section 26.4.1 “Current

T is a fixed delay
V is measured by performing an A/D conversion
8. Subtract the stray and A/D capacitance
(COFFSET from Section 26.4.2 “Capacitance
Calibration”) from CTOTAL to determine the
measured capacitance.
26.5.2 CAPACITIVE TOUCH SENSE USING
RELATIVE CHARGE
MEASUREMENT
Not all applications require precise capacitance
measurements. When detecting a valid press of a
capacitance-based switch, only a relative change of
capacitance needs to be detected.
In such an application when the switch is open (or not
touched), the total capacitance is the capacitance of the
combination of the board traces, the A/D Converter and
other elements. A larger voltage will be measured by the
A/D Converter. When the switch is closed (or touched),
the total capacitance is larger due to the addition of the
capacitance of the human body to the above listed
capacitances and a smaller voltage will be measured by
the A/D Converter.
To detect capacitance changes simply:
1. Initialize the A/D Converter and the CTMU.
2. Set EDG1STAT.
3. Wait for a fixed delay.
4. Clear EDG1STAT.
5. Perform an A/D conversion.
The voltage measured by performing the A/D conver-
sion is an indication of the relative capacitance. In this
case, no calibration of the current source or circuit
capacitance measurement is needed. (For a sample
software routine for a capacitive touch switch, see
Example 26-4.)

26.6 Measuring Time with the CTMU
Module
Time can be precisely measured after the ratio (C/I) is
measured from the current and capacitance calibration
step. To do that:
1. Initialize the A/D Converter and the CTMU.
2. Set EDG1STAT.
3. Set EDG2STAT.
4. Perform an A/D conversion.
5. Calculate the time between edges as T = (C/I) * V,
where:
I is calculated in the current calibration
step (Section 26.4.1 “Current Source
Calibration”)
C is calculated in the capacitance calibra-
tion step (Section 26.4.2 “Capacitance
Calibration”)
V is measured by performing the A/D conversion
It is assumed that the time measured is small enough
that the capacitance, CAD + CEXT, provides a valid
voltage to the A/D Converter. For the smallest time
measurement, always set the A/D Channel Select bits
via ADCON1L/H to an unused A/D channel; the corre-
sponding pin for which is not connected to any circuit
board trace. This minimizes added stray capacitance,
keeping the total circuit capacitance close to that of the
A/D Converter itself (25 pF).
To measure longer time intervals, an external capacitor
may be connected to an A/D channel and that channel
selected whenever making a time measurement.

26.7 Measuring Temperature
with the CTMU
The constant-current source provided by the CTMU
module can be used for low-cost temperature
measurement by exploiting a basic property of com-
mon and inexpensive diodes. An on-chip temperature
sense diode is provided on A/D Channel 29 to further
simplify design and cost.
26.7.1 BASIC PRINCIPAL
We can show that the forward voltage (VF) of a P-N
junction, such as a diode, is an extension of the
equation for the junctions thermal voltage:
where k is the Boltzmann constant (1.38 x 10-23 J K-1),
T is the absolute junction temperature in kelvin, q is the
electron charge (1.6 x 10-19 C), IF is the forward current
applied to the diode and IS is the diode’s characteristic
saturation current, which varies between devices.
Since k and q are physical constants, and IS is a constant
for the device, this only leaves T and IF as independent
variables. If IF is held constant, it follows from the equa-
tion that VF will vary as a function of T. As the natural log
term of the equation will always be negative, the tem-
perature will be negatively proportional to VF. In other
words, as temperature increases, VF decreases.
By using the CTMU’s current source to provide a
constant IF, it becomes possible to calculate the
temperature by measuring the VF across the diode.
26.7.2 IMPLEMENTATION
To implement this theory, all that is needed is to
connect a regular junction diode to one of the micro-
controller’s A/D pins (Figure 26-2). The A/D channel
multiplexer is shared by the CTMU and the A/D.
To perform a measurement, the multiplexer is config-
ured to select the pin connected to the diode. The
CTMU current source is then turned on and an A/D
conversion is performed on the channel. As shown in
the equivalent circuit diagram in Figure 26-4, the diode
is driven by the CTMU at IF. The resulting VF across the
diode is measured by the A/D. A code snippet is shown
in Example 26-5.

26.8 Operation During Sleep/Idle Modes
26.8.1 SLEEP MODE
When the device enters any Sleep mode, the CTMU
module current source is always disabled. If the CTMU
is performing an operation that depends on the current
source when Sleep mode is invoked, the operation may
not terminate correctly. Capacitance and time
measurements may return erroneous values.
26.8.2 IDLE MODE
The behavior of the CTMU in Idle mode is determined
by the CTMUSIDL bit (CTMUCON<5>). If CTMUSIDL
is cleared, the module will continue to operate in Idle
mode. If CTMUSIDL is set, the modules current source
is disabled when the device enters Idle mode. In this
case, if the module is performing an operation when
Idle mode is invoked, the results will be similar to those
with Sleep mode.
26.9 Effects of a Reset on CTMU
Upon Reset, all registers of the CTMU are cleared. This
disables the CTMU module, turns off its current source
and returns all configuration options to their default set-
tings. The module needs to be re-initialized following
any Reset.
If the CTMU is in the process of taking a measurement
at the time of Reset, the measurement will be lost. A
partial charge may exist on the circuit that was being
measured, which should be properly discharged before
the CTMU makes subsequent attempts to take a
measurement. The circuit is discharged by setting and
clearing the IDISSEN bit (CTMUCON<1>) while the A/D
Converter is connected to the appropriate channel.

UNIVERSAL SERIAL BUS (USB)
This section describes the details of the USB peripheral.
Because of the very specific nature of the module, some
knowledge of USB is expected. Some high-level USB
information is provided in Section 27.9 “Overview of
USB” only for application design reference. Designers
are encouraged to refer to the official specification
published by the USB Implementers Forum (USB-IF) for
the latest information. USB Specification Revision 2.0 is
the most current specification at the time of publication
of this document.
27.1 Overview of the USB Peripheral
PIC18FXXJ94 devices contain a full-speed and low-
speed, compatible USB Serial Interface Engine (SIE)
that allows fast communication between any USB host
and the PIC® MCU. The SIE can be interfaced directly
to the USB, utilizing the internal transceiver.
Some special hardware features have been included to
improve performance. Dual access port memory in the
device’s data memory space (USB RAM) has been
supplied to share Direct Memory Access (DMA)
between the microcontroller core and the SIE. Buffer
descriptors are also provided, allowing users to freely
program endpoint memory usage within the USB RAM
space. Figure 27-1 provides a general overview of the
USB peripheral and its features.

27.2 USB Status and Control
The operation of the USB module is configured and
managed through three control registers. In addition, a
total of 22 registers are used to manage the actual USB
transactions. The registers are:
USB Control Register (UCON)
USB Configuration Register (UCFG)
USB Transfer STATUS Register (USTAT)
USB Device Address Register (UADDR)
Frame Number Registers (UFRMH:UFRML)
Endpoint Enable Registers 0 through 15 (UEPn)
27.2.1 USB CONTROL REGISTER (UCON)
The USB Control register (Register 27-1) contains bits
needed to control the module behavior during transfers.
The register contains bits that control the following:
Main USB Peripheral Enable
Ping-Pong Buffer Pointer Reset
Control of the Suspend mode
Packet Transfer Disable
In addition, the USB Control register contains a Status
bit, SE0 (UCON<5>), which is used to indicate the
occurrence of a single-ended zero on the bus. When
the USB module is enabled, this bit should be
monitored to determine whether the differential data
lines have come out of a single-ended zero condition.
This helps to differentiate the initial power-up state from
the USB Reset signal.
The overall operation of the USB module is controlled
by the USBEN bit (UCON<3>). Setting this bit activates
the module and resets all of the PPBI bits in the Buffer
Descriptor Table (BDT) to ‘0’. This bit also activates the
internal pull-up resistors if they are enabled. Thus, this
bit can be used as a soft attach/detach to the USB.
Although all status and control bits are ignored when
this bit is clear, the module needs to be fully preconfig-
ured prior to setting this bit. The USB clock source
should have been already configured for the correct
frequency and running. If the PLL is being used, it
should be enabled for at least 2 ms (enough time for
the PLL to lock) before attempting to set the USBEN
bit.
Note: When disabling the USB module, make
sure the SUSPND bit (UCON<1>) is clear
prior to clearing the USBEN bit. Clearing
the USBEN bit when the module is in the
suspended state may prevent the module
from fully powering down

PIC18F97J94 FAMILY
DS30000575C-page 520 2012-2016 Microchip Technology Inc.
The PPBRST bit (UCON<6>) controls the Reset status
when Double-Buffering mode (ping-pong buffering) is
used. When the PPBRST bit is set, all Ping-Pong
Buffer Pointers are set to the Even buffers. PPBRST
has to be cleared by firmware. This bit is ignored in
buffering modes not using ping-pong buffering.
The PKTDIS bit (UCON<4>) is a flag indicating that the
SIE has disabled packet transmission and reception.
This bit is set by the SIE when a SETUP token is
received to allow setup processing. This bit cannot be
set by the microcontroller, only cleared; clearing it
allows the SIE to continue transmission and/or
reception. Any pending events within the Buffer
Descriptor Table (BDT) will still be available, indicated
within the USTAT register’s FIFO buffer.
The RESUME bit (UCON<2>) allows the peripheral to
perform a remote wake-up by executing resume
signaling. To generate a valid remote wake-up,
firmware must set RESUME for 10 ms and then clear
the bit. For more information on resume signaling, see
Sections 7.1.7.5, 11.4.4 and 11.9 in the “USB 2.0
Specification”.
The SUSPND bit (UCON<1>) places the module and
supporting circuitry in a Low-Power mode. The input
clock to the SIE is also disabled. This bit should be set
by the software in response to an IDLEIF interrupt. It
should be reset by the microcontroller firmware after an
ACTVIF interrupt is observed. When this bit is active,
the device remains attached to the bus but the
transceiver outputs remain Idle. The voltage on the
VUSB3V3 pin may vary depending on the value of this
bit. Setting this bit before a IDLEIF request will result in
unpredictable bus behavior.
27.2.2 USB CONFIGURATION REGISTER
(UCFG)
Prior to communicating over USB, the module’s
associated internal and/or external hardware must be
configured. Most of the configuration is performed with
the UCFG register (Register 27-2).The UFCG register
contains most of the bits that control the system-level
behavior of the USB module. These include:
Bus Speed (full speed versus low speed)
On-Chip Pull-up Resistor Enable
On-Chip Transceiver Enable
Ping-Pong Buffer Usage
The UCFG register also contains two bits, which aid in
module testing, debugging and USB certifications.
These bits control output enable state monitoring and
eye pattern generation.
27.2.2.1 Internal Transceiver
The USB peripheral has a built-in, “USB 2.0 Specifica-
tion”, full-speed and low-speed capable transceiver,
internally connected to the SIE. This feature is useful
for low-cost, single chip applications. The UTRDIS bit
(UCFG<3>) controls the transceiver; it is enabled by
default (UTRDIS = 0). The FSEN bit (UCFG<2>)
controls the transceiver speed; setting this bit enables
full-speed operation.
The on-chip USB pull-up resistors are controlled by the
UPUEN bit (UCFG<4>). They can only be selected
when the on-chip transceiver is enabled.
The internal USB transceiver obtains power from the
VUSB3V3 pin. In order to meet USB signalling level
specifications, VUSB3V3 must be supplied with a voltage
source between 3.0V and 3.6V. The best electrical sig-
nal quality is obtained when a 3.3V supply is used and
locally bypassed with a high quality ceramic capacitor
(ex: 0.1 F). The capacitor should be placed as close
as possible to the VUSB3V3 and VSS pins.
VUSB3V3 should always be maintained VDD. If the
USB module is not used, but RC4 or RC5 are used as
general purpose inputs, VUSB3V3 should still be con-
nected to a power source (such as VDD). The input
thresholds for the RC4 and RC5 pins are dependent
upon the VUSB3V3 supply level.
The D+ and D- signal lines can be routed directly to
their respective pins on the USB connector or cable (for
hard-wired applications). No additional resistors,
capacitors or magnetic components are required, as
the D+ and D- drivers have controlled slew rate and
output impedance, intended to match with the
characteristic impedance of the USB cable.
In order to achieve optimum USB signal quality, the D+
and D- traces between the microcontroller and USB
connector (or cable) should be less than 19 cm long.
Both traces should be equal in length and they should
be routed parallel to each other. Ideally, these traces
should be designed to have a characteristic impedance
matching that of the USB cable.
Note: While in Suspend mode, a typical bus-
powered USB device is limited to 2.5 mA
of current. This is the complete current
which may be drawn by the PIC MCU
device and its supporting circuitry. Care
should be taken to assure minimum
current draw when the device enters
Suspend mode.
Note: The USB speed, transceiver and pull-up
should only be configured during the
module setup phase. It is not recom-
mended to switch these settings while the
module is enabled.

27.2.2.2 Internal Pull-up Resistors
The PIC18FXXJ94 devices have built-in pull-up resis-
tors, designed to meet the requirements for low-speed
and full-speed USB. The UPUEN bit (UCFG<4>)
enables the internal pull-ups. Figure 27-1 shows the
pull-ups and their control.
27.2.2.3 External Pull-up Resistors
External pull-ups may also be used. The VUSB3V3 pin
may be used to pull up D+ or D-. The pull-up resistor
must be 1.5 k (±5%) as required by the USB
specifications.
Figure 27-2 provides an example of external circuitry.
FIGURE 27-2: EXTERNAL CIRCUITRY
27.2.2.4 Ping-Pong Buffer Configuration
The usage of ping-pong buffers is configured using the
PPB<1:0> bits. Refer to Section 27.4.4 “Ping-Pong
Buffering” for a complete explanation of the ping-pong
buffers.
27.2.2.5 Eye Pattern Test Enable
An automatic eye pattern test can be generated by the
module when the UCFG<7> bit is set. The eye pattern
output will be observable based on module settings,
meaning that the user is first responsible for configuring
the SIE clock settings, pull-up resistor and Transceiver
mode. In addition, the module has to be enabled.
Once UTEYE is set, the module emulates a switch from
a receive to transmit state and will start transmitting a
J-K-J-K bit sequence (K-J-K-J for full speed). The
sequence will be repeated indefinitely while the Eye
Pattern Test mode is enabled.
Note that this bit should never be set while the module
is connected to an actual USB system. This Test mode
is intended for board verification to aid with USB certi-
fication tests. It is intended to show a system developer
the noise integrity of the USB signals which can be
affected by board traces, impedance mismatches and
proximity to other system components. It does not
properly test the transition from a receive to a transmit
state. Although the eye pattern is not meant to replace
the more complex USB certification test, it should aid
during first order system debugging.
Note: A compliant USB device should never
source any current onto the +5V VBUS line
of the USB cable. Additionally, USB
devices should not source any current on
the D+ and D- data lines whenever the
+5V VBUS line is less than 1.17V. In order
to be USB compliant, applications which
are not purely bus-powered should moni-
tor the VBUS line, and avoid turning on the
USB module and the D+ or D- pull-up
resistor until VBUS is greater than 1.17V.
VBUS can be connected to and monitored
by a 5V tolerant I/O pin, or if a resistive
divider is used, by an analog capable pin.

27.2.3 USB STATUS REGISTER (USTAT)
The USB STATUS register reports the transaction sta-
tus within the SIE. When the SIE issues a USB transfer
complete interrupt, USTAT should be read to determine
the status of the transfer. USTAT contains the transfer
endpoint number, direction and Ping-Pong Buffer
Pointer value (if used).
The USTAT register is actually a read window into a
4-byte status FIFO, maintained by the SIE. It allows the
microcontroller to process one transfer while the SIE
processes additional endpoints (Figure 27-3). When
the SIE completes using a buffer for reading or writing
data, it updates the USTAT register. If another USB
transfer is performed before a transaction complete
interrupt is serviced, the SIE will store the status of the
next transfer into the status FIFO.
Clearing the Transfer Complete Flag bit, TRNIF,
causes the SIE to advance the FIFO. If the next data in
the FIFO holding register is valid, the SIE will reassert
the interrupt within 5 TCY of clearing TRNIF. If no addi-
tional data is present, TRNIF will remain clear; USTAT
data will no longer be reliable.
FIGURE 27-3: USTAT FIFO
Note: The data in the USB STATUS register is
valid only when the TRNIF interrupt flag is
asserted.
Note: If an endpoint request is received while
the USTAT FIFO is full, the SIE will
automatically issue a NAK back to the host.

Each of the 16 possible bidirectional endpoints has its
own independent control register, UEPn (where ‘n’
represents the endpoint number). Each register has an
identical complement of control bits.

The EPHSHK bit (UEPn<4>) controls handshaking for
the endpoint; setting this bit enables USB handshaking.
Typically, this bit is always set except when using
isochronous endpoints.
The EPCONDIS bit (UEPn<3>) is used to enable or
disable USB control operations (SETUP) through the
endpoint. Clearing this bit enables SETUP transac-
tions. Note that the corresponding EPINEN and
EPOUTEN bits must be set to enable IN and OUT
transactions. For Endpoint 0, this bit should always be
cleared since the USB specifications identify
Endpoint 0 as the default control endpoint.
The EPOUTEN bit (UEPn<2>) is used to enable or
disable USB OUT transactions from the host. Setting
this bit enables OUT transactions. Similarly, the
EPINEN bit (UEPn<1>) enables or disables USB IN
transactions from the host.
The EPSTALL bit (UEPn<0>) is used to indicate a
STALL condition for the endpoint. If a STALL is issued
on a particular endpoint, the EPSTALL bit for that end-
point pair will be set by the SIE. This bit remains set
until it is cleared through firmware or until the SIE is
reset.

27.2.5 USB ADDRESS REGISTER
(UADDR)
The USB Address register contains the unique USB
address that the peripheral will decode when active.
UADDR is reset to 00h when a USB Reset is received,
indicated by URSTIF, or when a Reset is received from
the microcontroller. The USB address must be written
by the microcontroller during the USB setup phase
(enumeration) as part of the Microchip USB firmware
support.
27.2.6 USB FRAME NUMBER REGISTERS
(UFRMH:UFRML)
The Frame Number registers contain the 11-bit frame
number. The low-order byte is contained in UFRML,
while the three high-order bits are contained in
UFRMH. The register pair is updated with the current
frame number whenever a SOF token is received. For
the microcontroller, these registers are read-only. The
Frame Number registers are primarily used for
isochronous transfers. The contents of the UFRMH and
UFRML registers are only valid when the 48 MHz SIE
clock is active (i.e., contents are inaccurate when
SUSPND (UCON<1>) bit = 1).
27.3 USB RAM
USB data moves between the microcontroller core and
the SIE through a memory space, known as the USB
RAM. This is a special dual access memory that is
mapped into the normal data memory space in Banks 0
through 14 (00h to EBFh), for a total of 3.8 Kbytes
(Figure 27-4).
Bank 13 (D00h through DFFh) is used specifically for
endpoint buffer control, while Banks 0 through 12 and
Bank 14 are available for USB data. Depending on the
type of buffering being used, all but 8 bytes of Bank 13
may also be available for use as USB buffer space.
Although USB RAM is available to the microcontroller
as data memory, the sections that are being accessed
by the SIE should not be accessed by the micro-
controller. A semaphore mechanism is used to
determine the access to a particular buffer at any given
time. This is discussed in Section 27.4.1.1 “Buffer
Ownership”.

27.4 Buffer Descriptors and the Buffer
Descriptor Table
The registers in Bank 13 are used specifically for end-
point buffer control in a structure known as the Buffer
Descriptor Table (BDT). This provides a flexible method
for users to construct and control endpoint buffers of
various lengths and configuration.
The BDT is composed of Buffer Descriptors (BD) which
are used to define and control the actual buffers in the
USB RAM space. Each BD, in turn, consists of four
registers, where n represents one of the 64 possible
BDs (range of 0 to 63):
BDnSTAT: BD STATUS Register
BDnCNT: BD Byte Count Register
BDnADRL: BD Address Low Register
BDnADRH: BD Address High Register
BDs always occur as a four-byte block in
the sequence,
BDnSTAT:BDnCNT:BDnADRL:BDnADRH.
The address
of BDnSTAT is always an offset of (4n – 1, in hexa-
decimal) from D00h, with n being the buffer descriptor
number.
Depending on the buffering configuration used
(Section 27.4.4 “Ping-Pong Buffering”), there are up
to 32, 33 or 64 sets of buffer descriptors. At a minimum,
the BDT must be at least 8 bytes long. This is because
the USB Specification mandates that every device
must have Endpoint 0 with both input and output for ini-
tial setup. Depending on the endpoint and buffering
configuration, the BDT can be as long as 256 bytes.
Although they can be thought of as Special Function
Registers, the Buffer Descriptor Status and Address
registers are not hardware mapped, as conventional
microcontroller SFRs in Bank 15 are. If the endpoint cor-
responding to a particular BD is not enabled, its registers
are not used. Instead of appearing as unimplemented
addresses, however, they appear as available RAM.
Only when an endpoint is enabled by setting the
UEPn<1> bit does the memory at those addresses
become functional as BD registers. As with any address
in the data memory space, the BD registers have an
indeterminate value on any device Reset.
Figure 27-5 provides an example of a BD for a 64-byte
buffer, starting at 500h. A particular set of BD registers
is only valid if the corresponding endpoint has been
enabled using the UEPn register. All BD registers are
available in USB RAM. The BD for each endpoint
should be set up prior to enabling the endpoint.
27.4.1 BD STATUS AND CONFIGURATION
Buffer descriptors not only define the size of an end-
point buffer, but also determine its configuration and
control. Most of the configuration is done with the BD
STATUS register, BDnSTAT. Each BD has its own
unique and correspondingly numbered BDnSTAT reg-
ister.
FIGURE 27-5: EXAMPLE OF A BUFFER
DESCRIPTOR
Unlike other control registers, the bit configuration for
the BDnSTAT register is context-sensitive. There are
two distinct configurations, depending on whether the
microcontroller or the USB module is modifying the BD
and buffer at a particular time. Only three bit definitions
are shared between the two.
27.4.1.1 Buffer Ownership
Because the buffers and their BDs are shared between
the CPU and the USB module, a simple semaphore
mechanism is used to distinguish which is allowed to
update the BD and associated buffers in memory.
This is done by using the UOWN bit (BDnSTAT<7>) as
a semaphore to distinguish which is allowed to update
the BD and associated buffers in memory. UOWN is the
only bit that is shared between the two configurations
of BDnSTAT.
When UOWN is clear, the BD entry is “owned” by the
microcontroller core. When the UOWN bit is set, the BD
entry and the buffer memory are “owned” by the USB
peripheral. The core should not modify the BD or its
corresponding data buffer during this time. Note that
the microcontroller core can still read BDnSTAT while
the SIE owns the buffer and vice versa.
The buffer descriptors have a different meaning based
on the source of the register update. Prior to placing
ownership with the USB peripheral, the user can
configure the basic operation of the peripheral through
the BDnSTAT bits. During this time, the byte count and
buffer location registers can also be set.
When UOWN is set, the user can no longer depend on
the values that were written to the BDs. From this point,
the SIE updates the BDs as necessary, overwriting the
original BD values. The BDnSTAT register is updated
by the SIE with the token PID and the transfer count,
BDnCNT, is updated.

PIC18F97J94 FAMILY
The BDnSTAT byte of the BDT should always be the
last byte updated when preparing to arm an endpoint.
The SIE will clear the UOWN bit when a transaction
has completed.
No hardware mechanism exists to block access when
the UOWN bit is set. Thus, unexpected behavior can
occur if the microcontroller attempts to modify memory
when the SIE owns it. Similarly, reading such memory
may produce inaccurate data until the USB peripheral
returns ownership to the microcontroller.
27.4.1.2 BDnSTAT Register (CPU Mode)
When UOWN = 0, the microcontroller core owns the
BD. At this point, the other seven bits of the register
take on control functions.
The Data Toggle Sync Enable bit, DTSEN
(BDnSTAT<3>), controls data toggle parity checking.
Setting DTSEN enables data toggle synchronization by
the SIE. When enabled, it checks the data packet’s par-
ity against the value of DTS (BDnSTAT<6>). If a packet
arrives with an incorrect synchronization, the data will
essentially be ignored. It will not be written to the USB
RAM and the USB transfer complete interrupt flag will
not be set. The SIE will send an ACK token back to the
host to Acknowledge receipt, however. The effects of the
DTSEN bit on the SIE are summarized in Table 27-1.
The Buffer Stall bit, BSTALL (BDnSTAT<2>), provides
support for control transfers, usually one-time stalls on
Endpoint 0. It also provides support for the SET_FEA-
TURE/CLEAR_FEATURE commands specified in Chap-
ter 9 of the USB Specification; typically, continuous
STALLs to any endpoint other than the default control
endpoint.
The BSTALL bit enables buffer stalls. Setting BSTALL
causes the SIE to return a STALL token to the host if a
received token would use the BD in that location. The
EPSTALL bit in the corresponding UEPn Control
register is set and a STALL interrupt is generated when
a STALL is issued to the host. The UOWN bit remains
set and the BDs are not changed unless a SETUP
token is received. In this case, the STALL condition is
cleared and the ownership of the BD is returned to the
microcontroller core.
The BC<9:8> bits (BDnSTAT<1:0>) store the two most
significant digits of the SIE byte count. The lower 8 digits
are stored in the corresponding BDnCNT register. See
Section 27.4.2 “BD Byte Count” for more information.

27.4.1.3 BDnSTAT Register (SIE Mode)
When the BD and its buffer are owned by the SIE, most
of the bits in BDnSTAT take on a different meaning. The
configuration is shown in Register 27-6. Once UOWN
is set, any data or control settings previously written
there by the user will be overwritten with data from the
SIE.
The BDnSTAT register is updated by the SIE with the
token Packet Identifier (PID) which is stored in
BDnSTAT<5:2>. The transfer count in the correspond-
ing BDnCNT register is updated. Values that overflow
the 8-bit register carry over to the two most significant
digits of the count, stored in BDnSTAT<1:0>.
27.4.2 BD BYTE COUNT
The byte count represents the total number of bytes
that will be transmitted during an IN transfer. After an IN
transfer, the SIE will return the number of bytes sent to
the host.
For an OUT transfer, the byte count represents the
maximum number of bytes that can be received and
stored in USB RAM. After an OUT transfer, the SIE will
return the actual number of bytes received. If the
number of bytes received exceeds the corresponding
byte count, the data packet will be rejected and a NAK
handshake will be generated. When this happens, the
byte count will not be updated.
The 10-bit byte count is distributed over two registers.
The lower 8 bits of the count reside in the BDnCNT
register; the upper two bits reside in BDnSTAT<1:0>.
This represents a valid byte range of 0 to 1023.
27.4.3 BD ADDRESS VALIDATION
The BD Address register pair contains the starting RAM
address location for the corresponding endpoint buffer.
No mechanism is available in hardware to validate the
BD address.
If the value of the BD address does not point to an
address in the USB RAM, or if it points to an address
within another endpoint’s buffer, data is likely to be lost
or overwritten. Similarly, overlapping a receive buffer
(OUT endpoint) with a BD location in use can yield
unexpected results. When developing USB
applications, the user may want to consider the
inclusion of software-based address validation in their
code.

27.4.4 PING-PONG BUFFERING
An endpoint is defined to have a ping-pong buffer when
it has two sets of BD entries: one set for an Even
transfer and one set for an Odd transfer. This allows the
CPU to process one BD while the SIE is processing the
other BD. Double-buffering BDs in this way allows for
maximum throughput to/from the USB.
The USB module supports four modes of operation:
No ping-pong support
Ping-pong buffer support for OUT Endpoint 0 only
Ping-pong buffer support for all endpoints
Ping-pong buffer support for all other endpoints
except Endpoint 0
The ping-pong buffer settings are configured using the
PPB<1:0> bits in the UCFG register.
The USB module keeps track of the Ping-Pong Pointer
individually for each endpoint. All pointers are initially
reset to the Even BD when the module is enabled. After
the completion of a transaction (UOWN cleared by the
SIE), the pointer is toggled to the Odd BD. After the
completion of the next transaction, the pointer is
toggled back to the Even BD and so on.
The Even/Odd status of the last transaction is stored in
the PPBI bit of the USTAT register. The user can reset
all Ping-Pong Pointers to Even using the PPBRST bit.
Figure 27-6 shows the four different modes of
operation and how USB RAM is filled with the BDs.
BDs have a fixed relationship to a particular endpoint,
depending on the buffering configuration. Tab le 2 7-2
provides the mapping of BDs to endpoints. This
relationship also means that gaps may occur in the
BDT if endpoints are not enabled contiguously. This,
theoretically, means that the BDs for disabled
endpoints could be used as buffer space. In practice,
users should avoid using such spaces in the BDT
unless a method of validating BD addresses is
implemented.

27.5 USB Interrupts
The USB module can generate multiple interrupt condi-
tions. To accommodate all of these interrupt sources,
the module is provided with its own interrupt logic struc-
ture, similar to that of the microcontroller. USB interrupts
are enabled with one set of control registers and
trapped with a separate set of flag registers. All sources
are funneled into a single USB Oscillator Fail Interrupt
Flag bit, USBIF (PIR2<4>), in the microcontroller’s
interrupt logic.
Figure 27-7 provides the interrupt logic for the USB
module. There are two layers of interrupt registers in
the USB module. The top level consists of overall USB
status interrupts; these are enabled and flagged in the
UIE and UIR registers, respectively. The second level
consists of USB error conditions, which are enabled
and flagged in the UEIR and UEIE registers. An
interrupt condition in any of these triggers a USB Error
Interrupt Flag (UERRIF) in the top level.
Interrupts may be used to trap routine events in a USB
transaction. Figure 27-8 provides some common
events within a USB frame and its corresponding
interrupts.

27.5.1 USB INTERRUPT STATUS
REGISTER (UIR)
The USB Interrupt STATUS register (Register 27-7)
contains the flag bits for each of the USB status inter-
rupt sources. Each of these sources has a corre-
sponding interrupt enable bit in the UIE register. All of
the USB status flags are ORed together to generate
the USBIF interrupt flag for the microcontroller’s inter-
rupt funnel.
Once an interrupt bit has been set by the SIE, it must
be cleared in software by writing a ‘0’. The flag bits can
also be set in software, which can aid in firmware
debugging.
When the USB module is in the Low-Power Suspend
mode (UCON<1> = 1), the SIE does not get clocked.
When in this state, the SIE cannot process packets,
and therefore, cannot detect new interrupt conditions
other than the Activity Detect Interrupt, ACTVIF. The
ACTVIF bit is typically used by USB firmware to detect
when the microcontroller should bring the USB module
out of the Low-Power Suspend mode (UCON<1> = 0).

Note 1: Once an Idle state is detected, the user may want to place the USB module in Suspend mode.
2: Clearing this bit will cause the USTAT FIFO to advance (valid only for IN, OUT and SETUP tokens).
3: This bit is typically unmasked only following the detection of a UIDLE interrupt event.
4: Only error conditions enabled through the UEIE register will set this bit. This bit is a Status bit only and
cannot be set or cleared by the user.

27.5.1.1 Bus Activity Detect Interrupt Bit
(ACTVIF)
The ACTVIF bit cannot be cleared immediately after
the USB module wakes up from Suspend mode or
while the USB module is suspended. A few clock
cycles are required to synchronize the internal hard-
ware state machine before the ACTVIF bit can be
cleared by firmware. Clearing the ACTVIF bit before
the internal hardware is synchronized may not have an
effect on the value of ACTVIF. Additionally, if the USB
module uses the clock from the 96 MHz PLL source,
then after clearing the SUSPND bit, the USB module
may not be immediately operational while waiting for
the 96 MHz PLL to lock. The application code should
clear the ACTVIF flag as provided in Example 27-1.
EXAMPLE 27-1: CLEARING ACTVIF BIT (UIR<2>)
Note: Only one ACTVIF interrupt is generated
when resuming from the USB bus Idle con-
dition. If user firmware clears the ACTVIF
bit, the bit will not immediately become set
again, even when there is continuous bus
traffic. Bus traffic must cease long enough
to generate another IDLEIF condition
before another ACTVIF interrupt can be
generated.

27.5.2 USB INTERRUPT ENABLE
REGISTER (UIE)
The USB Interrupt Enable (UIE) register (Register 27-8)
contains the enable bits for the USB status interrupt
sources. Setting any of these bits will enable the
respective interrupt source in the UIR register.
The values in this register only affect the propagation
of an interrupt condition to the microcontroller’s inter-
rupt logic. The flag bits are still set by their interrupt
conditions, allowing them to be polled and serviced
without actually generating an interrupt.

27.5.3 USB ERROR INTERRUPT STATUS
REGISTER (UEIR)
The USB Error Interrupt STATUS register
(Register 27-9) contains the flag bits for each of the
error sources within the USB peripheral. Each of these
sources is controlled by a corresponding interrupt
enable bit in the UEIE register. All of the USB error
flags are ORed together to generate the USB Error
Interrupt Flag (UERRIF) at the top level of the interrupt
logic.
Each error bit is set as soon as the error condition is
detected. Thus, the interrupt will typically not
correspond with the end of a token being processed.
Once an interrupt bit has been set by the SIE, it must
be cleared in software by writing a ‘0’.

27.5.4 USB ERROR INTERRUPT ENABLE
REGISTER (UEIE)
The USB Error Interrupt Enable register
(Register 27-10) contains the enable bits for each of
the USB error interrupt sources. Setting any of these
bits will enable the respective error interrupt source in
the UEIR register to propagate into the UERR bit at
the top level of the interrupt logic.
As with the UIE register, the enable bits only affect the
propagation of an interrupt condition to the micro-
controller’s interrupt logic. The flag bits are still set by
their interrupt conditions, allowing them to be polled
and serviced without actually generating an interrupt.

27.6 USB Power Modes
Many USB applications will likely have several different
sets of power requirements and configuration. The
most common power modes encountered are Bus
Power Only, Self-Power Only and Dual Power with
Self-Power Dominance. The most common cases are
presented here. Also provided is a means of estimating
the current consumption of the USB transceiver.
27.6.1 BUS POWER ONLY
In Bus Power Only mode, all power for the application
is drawn from the USB (Figure 27-9). This is effectively
the simplest power method for the device.
In order to meet the inrush current requirements of the
USB 2.0 Specification”, the total effective capacitance
appearing across VBUS and ground must be no more
than 10 µF. If not, some kind of inrush timing is
required. For more details, see Section 7.2.4 of the
USB 2.0 Specification.
According to the “USB 2.0 Specification”, all USB
devices must also support a Low-Power Suspend
mode. In the USB Suspend mode, devices must
consume no more than 2.5 mA from the 5V VBUS line
of the USB cable.
The host signals the USB device to enter the Suspend
mode by stopping all USB traffic to that device for more
than 3 ms. This condition will cause the IDLEIF bit in
the UIR register to become set.
During the USB Suspend mode, the D+ or D- pull-up
resistor must remain active, which will consume some
of the allowed suspend current: 2.5 mA budget.
FIGURE 27-9: BUS POWER ONLY
27.6.2 SELF-POWER ONLY
In Self-Power Only mode, the USB application provides
its own power, with very little power being pulled from
the USB. See Figure 27-10 for an example.
Note that an attach indication is added to indicate when
the USB has been connected and the host is actively
powering VBUS.
In order to meet compliance specifications, the USB
module (and the D+ or D- pull-up resistor) should not be
enabled until the host actively drives VBUS high. One of
the 5.5V tolerant I/O pins may be used for this purpose.
The application should never source any current onto
the 5V VBUS pin of the USB cable.
FIGURE 27-10: SELF-POWER ONLY
27.6.3 DUAL POWER WITH SELF-POWER
DOMINANCE
Some applications may require a dual power option.
This allows the application to use internal power
primarily, but switch to power from the USB when no
internal power is available. See Figure 27-11 for a
simple Dual Power with Self-Power Dominance mode
example, which automatically switches between Self-
Power Only and USB Bus Power Only modes.
Dual power devices must also meet all of the special
requirements for inrush current and Suspend mode
current, and must not enable the USB module until
VBUS is driven high. See Section 27.6.1 “Bus Power
Only” and Section 27.6.2 “Self-Power Only” for
descriptions of those requirements. Additionally, dual
power devices must never source current onto the 5V
VBUS pin of the USB cable.

27.6.4 USB TRANSCEIVER CURRENT
CONSUMPTION
The USB transceiver consumes a variable amount of
current depending on the characteristic impedance of
the USB cable, the length of the cable, the VUSB3V3
supply voltage and the actual data patterns moving
across the USB cable. Longer cables have larger
capacitances and consume more total energy when
switching output states.
Data patterns that consist of “IN” traffic consume far
more current than “OUT” traffic. IN traffic requires the
PIC® MCU to drive the USB cable, whereas OUT traffic
requires that the host drive the USB cable.
The data that is sent across the USB cable is NRZI
encoded. In the NRZI encoding scheme, ‘0’ bits cause
a toggling of the output state of the transceiver (either
from a “J” state to a “K” state or vise versa). With the
exception of the effects of bit stuffing, NRZI encoded ‘1
bits do not cause the output state of the transceiver to
change. Therefore, IN traffic consisting of data bits of
value, ‘0’, cause the most current consumption, as the
transceiver must charge/discharge the USB cable in
order to change states.
More details about NRZI encoding and bit stuffing can
be found in the “USB 2.0 Specification”, Section 7.1,
although knowledge of such details is not required to
make USB applications using the PIC18FXXJ94 of
microcontrollers. Among other things, the SIE handles
bit stuffing/unstuffing, NRZI encoding/decoding and
CRC generation/checking in hardware.
The total transceiver current consumption will be
application-specific. However, to help estimate how
much current actually may be required in full-speed
applications, Equation 27-1 can be used.
See Equation 27-2 to know how this equation can be
used for a theoretical application.

applications use cables no longer than 5m.
IPULLUP – Current which the nominal, 1.5 k pull-up resistor (when enabled) must supply to the USB
cable. On the host or hub end of the USB cable, 15 k nominal resistors (14.25 k to 24.8 k) are
present which pull both the D+ and D- lines to ground. During bus Idle conditions (such as between
packets or during USB Suspend mode), this results in up to 218 A of quiescent current drawn at 3.3V.
IPULLUP is also dependant on bus traffic conditions and can be as high as 2.2 mA when the USB bandwidth
is fully utilized (either IN or OUT traffic) for data that drives the lines to the “K” state most of the time.

EQUATION 27-2: CALCULATING USB TRANSCEIVER CURRENT
For this example, the following assumptions are made about the application:
3.3V will be applied to VUSB3V3 and VDD, with the core voltage regulator enabled.
This is a full-speed application that uses one interrupt IN endpoint that can send one packet of 64 bytes every
1 ms, with no restrictions on the values of the bytes being sent. The application may or may not have additional
traffic on OUT endpoints.
A regular USB “B” or “mini-B” connector will be used on the application circuit board.
In this case, PZERO = 100% = 1, because there should be no restriction on the value of the data moving through the
IN endpoint. All 64 kbps of data could potentially be bytes of value, 00h. Since 0’ bits cause toggling of the output state
of the transceiver, they cause the USB transceiver to consume extra current charging/discharging the cable. In this
case, 100% of the data bits sent can be of value ‘0’. This should be considered the “max” value, as normal data will
consist of a fair mix of ones and zeros.
This application uses 64 kbps for IN traffic out of the total bus bandwidth of 1.5 Mbps (12 Mbps), therefore:
Since a regular “B” or “mini-B” connector is used in this application, the end user may plug in any type of cable up to
the maximum allowed 5m length. Therefore, we use the worst-case length:
LCABLE = 5 meters
Assume IPULLUP = 2.2 mA. The actual value of IPULLUP will likely be closer to 218 A, but allowance for the worst-case.
USB bandwidth is shared between all the devices which are plugged into the root port (via hubs). If the application is
plugged into a USB 1.1 hub that has other devices plugged into it, your device may see host to device traffic on the
bus, even if it is not addressed to your device. Since any traffic, regardless of source, can increase the IPULLUP current
above the base 218 A, it is safest to allow for the worst-case of 2.2 mA.
Therefore:
The calculated value should be considered an approximation and additional guardband or application-
specific product testing is recommended. The transceiver current is “in addition to” the
rest of the current consumed by the PIC18FXXJ94 device that is needed to run the core,
drive the other I/O lines, power the various modules, etc.
Pin = 64 kbps
1.5 Mbps = 4.3% = 0.043
IXCVR = + 2.2 mA = 3.9 mA
(40 mA • 3.3V • 1 • 0.043 • 5m)

The USB module has specific clock requirements. For
full-speed operation, the clock source must be 48 MHz.
Even so, the microcontroller core and other peripherals
are not required to run at that clock speed.

27.9 Overview of USB
This section presents some of the basic USB concepts
and useful information necessary to design a USB
device. Although much information is provided in this
section, there is a plethora of information provided
within the USB specifications and class specifications.
Thus, the reader is encouraged to refer to the USB
specifications for more information (www.usb.org). If
you are very familiar with the details of USB, then this
section serves as a basic, high-level refresher of USB.
27.9.1 LAYERED FRAMEWORK
USB device functionality is structured into a layered
framework, graphically illustrated in Figure 27-12.
Each level is associated with a functional level within
the device. The highest layer, other than the device, is
the configuration. A device may have multiple configu-
rations. For example, a particular device may have
multiple power requirements based on Self-Power Only
or Bus Power Only modes.
For each configuration, there may be multiple
interfaces. Each interface could support a particular
mode of that configuration.
Below the interface is the endpoint(s). Data is directly
moved at this level. There can be as many as
16 bidirectional endpoints. Endpoint 0 is always a
control endpoint, and by default, when the device is on
the bus, Endpoint 0 must be available to configure the
device.
27.9.2 FRAMES
Information communicated on the bus is grouped into
1 ms time slots, referred to as frames. Each frame can
contain many transactions to various devices and
endpoints. See Figure 27-8 for an example of a
transaction within a frame.
27.9.3 TRANSFERS
There are four transfer types defined in the USB
specification.
Isochronous: This type provides a transfer
method for large amounts of data (up to
1023 bytes) with timely delivery ensured;
however, the data integrity is not ensured. This is
good for streaming applications where small data
loss is not critical, such as audio.
Bulk: This type of transfer method allows for large
amounts of data to be transferred with ensured
data integrity; however, the delivery timeliness is
not ensured.
Interrupt: This type of transfer provides for
ensured timely delivery for small blocks of data,
plus data integrity is ensured.
Control: This type provides for device setup control.
While full-speed devices support all transfer types, low-
speed devices are limited to interrupt and control
transfers only.
27.9.4 POWER
Power is available from the USB. The USB specifica-
tion defines the bus power requirements. Devices may
either be self-powered or bus-powered. Self-powered
devices draw power from an external source, while
bus-powered devices use power supplied from the bus.

PIC18F97J94 FAMILY
The USB Specification limits the power taken from the
bus. Each device is ensured 100 mA at approximately
5V (one unit load). Additional power may be requested,
up to a maximum of 500 mA.
Note that power above one unit load is a request and
the host or hub is not obligated to provide the extra cur-
rent. Thus, a device capable of consuming more than
one unit load must be able to maintain a low-power
configuration of a one unit load or less, if necessary.
The USB Specification also defines a Suspend mode.
In this situation, current must be limited to 500 A,
averaged over one second. A device must enter a
suspend state after 3 ms of inactivity (i.e., no SOF
tokens for 3 ms). A device entering Suspend mode
must drop current consumption within 10 ms after
suspend. Likewise, when signaling a wake-up, the
device must signal a wake-up within 10 ms of drawing
current above the suspend limit.
27.9.5 ENUMERATION
When the device is initially attached to the bus, the host
enters an enumeration process in an attempt to identify
the device. Essentially, the host interrogates the device,
gathering information, such as power consumption, data
rates and sizes, protocol and other descriptive
information; descriptors contain this information. A
typical enumeration process would be as follows:
1. USB Reset – Reset the device. Thus, the device
is not configured and does not have an address
(Address 0).
2. Get Device Descriptor – The host requests a
small portion of the device descriptor.
3. USB Reset – Reset the device again.
4. Set Address – The host assigns an address to
the device.
5. Get Device Descriptor – The host retrieves the
device descriptor, gathering info, such as
manufacturer, type of device, maximum control
packet size.
6. Get configuration descriptors.
7. Get any other descriptors.
8. Set a configuration.
The exact enumeration process depends on the host.
27.9.6 DESCRIPTORS
There are eight different standard descriptor types, of
which, five are most important for this device.
27.9.6.1 Device Descriptor
The device descriptor provides general information,
such as manufacturer, product number, serial number,
the class of the device and the number of configurations.
There is only one device descriptor.
27.9.6.2 Configuration Descriptor
The configuration descriptor provides information on
the power requirements of the device and how many
different interfaces are supported when in this configu-
ration. There may be more than one configuration for a
device (i.e., low-power and high-power configurations).
27.9.6.3 Interface Descriptor
The interface descriptor details the number of end-
points used in this interface, as well as the class of the
interface. There may be more than one interface for a
configuration.
27.9.6.4 Endpoint Descriptor
The endpoint descriptor identifies the transfer type
(Section 27.9.3 “Transfers) and direction, and some
other specifics for the endpoint. There may be many
endpoints in a device and endpoints may be shared in
different configurations.
27.9.6.5 String Descriptor
Many of the previous descriptors reference one or
more string descriptors. String descriptors provide
human readable information about the layer
(Section 27.9.1 “Layered Framework”) they
describe. Often these strings show up in the host to
help the user identify the device. String descriptors are
generally optional to save memory and are encoded in
a unicode format.
27.9.7 BUS SPEED
Each USB device must indicate its bus presence and
speed to the host. This is accomplished through a
1.5 k resistor, which is connected to the bus at the
time of the attachment event.
Depending on the speed of the device, the resistor
either pulls up the D+ or D- line to 3.3V. For a low-
speed device, the pull-up resistor is connected to the
D- line. For a full-speed device, the pull-up resistor is
connected to the D+ line.
27.9.8 CLASS SPECIFICATIONS AND
DRIVERS
USB specifications include class specifications, which
operating system vendors optionally support.
Examples of classes include: Audio, Mass Storage,
Communications and Human Interface (HID). In most
cases, a driver is required at the host side to ‘talk’ to the
USB device. In custom applications, a driver may need
to be developed. Fortunately, drivers are available for
most common host systems for the most common
classes of devices. Thus, these drivers can be reused.

28.0 SPECIAL FEATURES OF THE
CPU
The PIC18FXXJ94 of devices includes several fea-
tures intended to maximize reliability and minimize cost
through elimination of external components. These
include:
Oscillator Selection
•Resets:
- Power-on Reset (POR)
- Power-up Timer (PWRT)
- Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST)
- Brown-out Reset (BOR)
Interrupts
Watchdog Timer (WDT) and On-chip Regulator
Fail-Safe Clock Monitor
Two-Speed Start-up
Code Protection
ID Locations
In-Circuit Serial Programming™
The oscillator can be configured for the application
depending on frequency, power, accuracy and cost. All
of the options are discussed in detail in Section 3.0
“Oscillator Configurations.
A complete discussion of device Resets and interrupts
is available in previous sections of this data sheet.
In addition to their Power-up and Oscillator Start-up
Timers provided for Resets, the PIC18FXXJ94 of
devices has a Watchdog Timer, which is either perma-
nently enabled via the Configuration bits or software
controlled (if configured as disabled).
The inclusion of an internal RC Oscillator (LF-INTOSC)
also provides 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 exe-
cuted almost immediately on start-up, while the primary
clock source completes its start-up delays.
All of these features are enabled and configured by
setting the appropriate Configuration register bits.
28.1 Configuration Bits
Devices of the PIC18FXXJ94 do not use persistent
memory registers to store configuration information. The
Configuration registers, CONFIG1L through CON-
FIG8H, are implemented as volatile memory. Immedi-
ately after power-up, or after a device Reset, the
microcontroller hardware automatically loads the CON-
FIG1L through CONFIG8H registers with configuration
data stored in nonvolatile Flash program memory. The
last eight words of Flash program memory, known as the
Flash Configuration Words (FCW), are used to store the
configuration data.
Table 28-2 provides the Flash program memory, which
will be loaded into the corresponding Configuration
register.
When creating applications for these devices, users
should always specifically allocate the location of the
FCW for configuration data. This is to make certain that
program code is not stored in this address when the
code is compiled.
The four Most Significant bits (MSb) of the FCW, corre-
sponding to CONFIG1H, CONFIG2H, CONFIG3H,
CONFIG4H, CONFIG5H, CONFIG6H, CONFIG7H and
CONFIG8H, should always be programmed to ‘1111’.
This makes these FCWs appear to be NOP instructions
in the remote event that their locations are ever
executed by accident.
The four MSbs of the CONFIG1H, CONFIG2H, CON-
FIG3H, CONFIG4H CONFIG5H, CONFIG6H, CON-
FIG7H and CONFIG8H, registers are not implemented,
so writing ‘1’s to their corresponding FCW has no effect
on device operation.
To prevent inadvertent configuration changes during
code execution, the Configuration registers, CONFIG1L
through CONFIG8H, are loaded only once per power-up
or Reset cycle. User’s firmware can still change the
configuration by using self-reprogramming to modify the
contents of the FCW.
Modifying the FCW will not change the active contents
being used in the CONFIG1L through CONFIG8H
registers until after the device is reset.

Note 1: The CONFIG2L bits can only be programmed indirectly by programming the Flash Configuration Word.
2: The CONFIG2L is reset to ‘1’ only on VDD Reset; it is reloaded with the programmed value at any device
Reset.
3: Although CONFIG2L is reset to ‘1’ only on VDD Reset, these values are not used until after the actual con-
figuration values are read out and stored in the register bits. Therefore, for these bits, the Reset value has
no effect on the operation of the system.
4: Unlike other Configuration registers, the CLKOEN holding register is reset to a ‘0’ on any VDD Reset. This
prevents the CLKO pin from driving until the actual configuration values are read out and stored in the
register.

28.2 Watchdog Timer (WDT)
For the PIC18FXXJ94 of devices, the WDT is driven by
the LF-INTOSC source. When the WDT is enabled, the
clock source is also enabled. The nominal WDT period
is 4 ms and has the same stability as the LF-INTOSC
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
Configuration Register 2H. Available periods range
from 4 ms to 4,194 seconds (about one hour). The
WDT and postscaler are cleared when any of the
following events occur: a SLEEP or CLRWDT instruction
is executed, the IRCFx bits (OSCCON3<2:0>) are
changed or a clock failure has occurred.
28.2.1 WINDOWED OPERATION
The Watchdog Timer has an optional Fixed Window
mode of operation. In this Windowed mode, CLRWDT
instructions can only reset the WDT during the last 1/4
of the programmed WDT period. A CLRWDT instruction
executed before that window causes a WDT Reset,
similar to a WDT time-out.
Windowed WDT mode is enabled by programming the
WINDIS Configuration bit (CONFIG6H<2>) to 0’.
The WDT can be operated in one of four modes, as
determined by WDTEN<1:0> (CONFIG6H<1:0>. The
four modes are:
•WDT Enabled
WDT Disabled
WDT under Software Control,
SWDTEN (RCON2<5>)
•WDT:
- Enabled during normal operation
- Disabled during Sleep

28.3 Two-Speed Start-up
The Two-Speed Start-up feature helps to minimize the
latency period from oscillator start-up to code execution
by allowing the microcontroller to use the INTOSC
(LF-INTOSC, MF-INTOSC, HF-INTOSC) Oscillator as a
clock source until the primary clock source is available.
It is enabled by setting the IESO Configuration bit.
Two-Speed Start-up should be enabled only if the Pri-
mary Oscillator mode is LP, MS or HS (Crystal-Based
modes). Other sources do not require an OST start-up
delay; for these, Two-Speed Start-up should be
disabled.
When enabled, Resets and wake-ups from Sleep mode
cause the device to configure itself to run from the
internal oscillator block as the clock source, following the
time-out of the Power-up Timer (PWRT) after a Power-
on Reset is enabled. This allows almost immediate code
execution while the Primary Oscillator starts and the
OST is running. Once the OST times out, the device
automatically switches to PRI_RUN mode.
To use a higher clock speed on wake-up, the INTOSC or
postscaler clock sources can be selected to provide a
higher clock speed by setting bits, IRCF<2:0>,
immediately after Reset. For wake-ups from Sleep, the
INTOSC or postscaler clock sources can be selected by
setting the IRCF2:0> bits prior to entering Sleep mode.
In all other power-managed modes, Two-Speed Start-up
is not used. The device will be clocked by the cur-
rently selected clock source until the primary clock
source becomes available. The setting of the IESO
Configuration bit is ignored.
28.3.1 SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR
USING TWO-SPEED START-UP
While using the INTOSC Oscillator in Two-Speed Start-
up, the device still obeys the normal command
sequences for entering power-managed modes,
including multiple SLEEP instructions. In practice, this
means that user code can change the NOSC<2:0> bit
settings or issue SLEEP instructions before the OST
times out. This would allow an application to briefly
wake-up, perform routine “housekeeping” tasks and
return to Sleep before the device starts to operate from
the Primary Oscillator.
User code can also check if the primary clock source is
currently providing the device clocking by checking the
status of the COSC<2:0> bits (OSCCON<2:0>). If the
bit is set, the Primary Oscillator is providing the clock.
Otherwise, the internal oscillator block is providing the
clock during wake-up from Reset or Sleep mode.

28.4 Fail-Safe Clock Monitor
The Fail-Safe Clock Monitor (FSCM) allows the
microcontroller to continue operation in the event of
an external oscillator failure by automatically switch-
ing the device clock to the internal oscillator block.
The FSCM function is enabled by clearing the FSCMx
Configuration bits.
When FSCM is enabled, the LF-INTOSC Oscillator
runs at all times to monitor clocks to peripherals and
provides a backup clock in the event of a clock failure.
Clock monitoring (shown in Figure 28-3) is accom-
plished by creating a sample clock signal, which is the
output from the LF-INTOSC, divided by 64. This allows
ample time between FSCM sample clocks for a periph-
eral clock edge to occur. The peripheral device clock
and the sample clock are presented as inputs to the
Clock Monitor (CM) latch. The CM is set on the falling
edge of the device clock source, but cleared on the
rising edge of the sample clock.
FIGURE 28-3: FSCM BLOCK DIAGRAM
Clock failure is tested for on the falling edge of the
sample clock. If a sample clock falling edge occurs
while CM is still set, a clock failure has been detected
(Figure 28-4). This causes the following:
The FSCM generates an oscillator fail interrupt by
setting bit, OSCFIF (PIR2<7>)
The device clock source switches to the internal
oscillator block (OSCCON is not updated to show
the current clock source – this is the fail-safe
condition)
•The WDT is reset
During switchover, the postscaler frequency from the
internal oscillator block may not be sufficiently stable for
timing-sensitive applications. In these cases, it may be
desirable to select another clock configuration and enter
an alternate power-managed mode. This can be done to
attempt a partial recovery or execute a controlled shut-
down. See Section 28.3.1 “Special Considerations
for Using Two-Speed Start-up” for more details.
To use a higher clock speed on wake-up, the INTOSC
or postscaler clock sources can be selected to provide
a higher clock speed by setting bits, IRCF<2:0>,
immediately after Reset. For wake-ups from Sleep, the
INTOSC or postscaler clock sources can be selected
by setting the IRCF<2:0> bits prior to entering Sleep
mode.
The FSCM will detect only failures of the primary or
secondary clock sources. If the internal oscillator block
fails, no failure would be detected nor would any action
be possible.
28.4.1 FSCM AND THE WATCHDOG TIMER
Both the FSCM and the WDT are clocked by the
INTOSC Oscillator. Since the WDT operates with a
separate divider and counter, disabling the WDT has
no effect on the operation of the INTOSC Oscillator
when the FSCM is enabled.
As already noted, the clock source is switched to the
INTOSC clock when a clock failure is detected.
Depending on the frequency selected by the
IRCF<2:0> bits, this may mean a substantial change in
the speed of code execution. If the WDT is enabled
with a small prescale value, a decrease in clock speed
allows a WDT time-out to occur and a subsequent
device Reset. For this reason, Fail-Safe Clock events
also reset the WDT and postscaler, allowing it to start
timing from when execution speed was changed and
decreasing the likelihood of an erroneous time-out.
28.4.2 EXITING FAIL-SAFE OPERATION
The Fail-Safe condition is terminated by either a device
Reset or by entering a power-managed mode. On
Reset, the controller starts the primary clock source,
specified in Configuration Register 1H (with any
required start-up delays that are required for the
oscillator mode, such as the OST or PLL timer). The
INTOSC multiplexer provides the device clock until the
primary clock source becomes ready (similar to a Two-
Speed Start-up). The clock source is then switched to
the primary clock automatically after an OST. The Fail-
Safe Clock Monitor then resumes monitoring the
peripheral clock.
The primary clock source may never become ready
during start-up. In this case, operation is clocked by the
INTOSC multiplexer. The OSCCON register will remain
in its Reset state until a power-managed mode is
entered.

FIGURE 28-4: FSCM TIMING DIAGRAM
28.4.3 FSCM INTERRUPTS IN
POWER-MANAGED MODES
By entering a power-managed mode, the clock multi-
plexer selects the clock source selected by the OSCCON
register. Fail-Safe Clock Monitoring of the power-
managed clock source resumes in the power-managed
mode.
If an oscillator failure occurs during power-managed
operation, the subsequent events depend on whether
or not the oscillator failure interrupt is enabled. If
enabled (OSCFIF = 1), code execution will be clocked
by the INTOSC multiplexer. An automatic transition
back to the failed clock source will not occur.
If the interrupt is disabled, subsequent interrupts while
in Idle mode will cause the CPU to begin executing
instructions while being clocked by the INTOSC
source.
28.4.4 POR OR WAKE FROM SLEEP
The FSCM is designed to detect oscillator failure at any
point after the device has exited Power-on Reset
(POR) or low-power Sleep mode. When the primary
device clock is EC, RC or INTOSC modes, monitoring
can begin immediately following these events.
For oscillator modes involving a crystal or resonator
(HS, HSPLL, LP or MS), the situation is somewhat
different. Since the oscillator may require a start-up
time considerably longer than the FCSM sample clock
time, a false clock failure may be detected. To prevent
this, the internal oscillator block is automatically config-
ured as the device clock and functions until the primary
clock is stable (when the OST and PLL timers have
timed out).
This is identical to Two-Speed Start-up mode. Once the
primary clock is stable, the INTOSC returns to its role
as the FSCM source.
As noted in Section 28.3.1 “Special Considerations
for Using Two-Speed Start-up”, it is also possible to
select another clock configuration and enter an
alternate power-managed mode while waiting for the
primary clock to become stable. When the new power-
managed mode is selected, the primary clock is
disabled.

Note: The same logic that prevents false oscilla-

Sleep, also prevents the detection of the
oscillator’s failure to start at all following
these events. This is avoided by an OST
time-out condition and by using a timing
routine to determine if the oscillator is tak-
ing too long to start. Even so, no oscillator
failure interrupt will be flagged.

28.4.5 PROGRAM VERIFICATION AND
CODE PROTECTION
For all devices in the PIC18FXXJ94 of devices, the on-
chip program memory space is treated as a single
block. Code protection for this block is controlled by
one Configuration bit, CP0. This bit inhibits external
reads and writes to the program memory space. It has
no direct effect in normal execution mode.
28.4.6 CONFIGURATION REGISTER
PROTECTION
The Configuration registers are protected against
untoward changes or reads in two ways. The primary
protection is the write-once feature of the Configuration
bits, which prevents reconfiguration once the bit has
been programmed during a power cycle. To safeguard
against unpredictable events, Configuration bit
changes, resulting from individual cell level disruptions
(such as ESD events), will cause a parity error and
trigger a device Reset. This is seen by the user as a
Configuration Mismatch (CM) Reset.
The data for the Configuration registers is derived from
the FCW in program memory. When the CP0 bit is set,
the source data for device configuration is also
protected as a consequence.
28.5 In-Circuit Serial Programming
The PIC18FXXJ94 of devices can be serially
programmed while in the end application circuit. This is
simply done with two lines for clock and data and three
other lines for power, ground and the programming
voltage. This allows customers to manufacture boards
with unprogrammed devices and then program the
microcontroller just before shipping the product. This
also allows the most recent firmware or a custom
firmware to be programmed.
For the various programming modes, see the
programming specification
28.6 In-Circuit Debugger
When the DEBUG Configuration bit is programmed to
a ‘0’, the In-Circuit Debugger functionality is enabled.
This function allows simple debugging functions when
used with MPLAB® IDE. When the microcontroller has
this feature enabled, some resources are not available
for general use. Ta b l e 2 8 - 3 shows which resources are
required by the background debugger.
TABLE 28-3: DEBUGGER RESOURCES
To use the In-Circuit Debugger function of the microcon-
troller, the design must implement In-Circuit Serial
Programming connections to MCLR, VDD, VSS, RB7 and
RB6. This will interface to the In-Circuit Debugger
module available from Microchip or one of the third-party
development tool companies.

29.0 INSTRUCTION SET SUMMARY
The PIC18FXXJ94 of devices incorporates the stan-
dard set of 75 PIC18 core instructions, as well as an
extended set of eight new instructions for the optimiza-
tion of code that is recursive or that utilizes a software
stack. The extended set is discussed later in this
section.
29.1 Standard Instruction Set
The standard PIC18 MCU instruction set adds many
enhancements to the previous PIC® MCU instruction
sets, while maintaining an easy migration from these
PIC MCU instruction sets. Most instructions are a
single program memory word (16 bits), but there are
four instructions that require two program memory
locations.
Each single-word instruction is a 16-bit word divided
into an opcode, which specifies the instruction type and
one or more operands, which further specify the
operation of the instruction.
The instruction set is highly orthogonal and is grouped
into four basic categories:
Byte-oriented operations
Bit-oriented operations
Literal operations
Control operations
The PIC18 instruction set summary in Table 29-2 lists
byte-oriented, bit-oriented, literal and control
operations. Table 29-1 shows the opcode field
descriptions.
Most byte-oriented instructions have three operands:
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 reg-
ister is to be used by the instruction. The destination
designator, ‘d’, specifies where the result of the
operation 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 designator, ‘b’, selects the number of the bit
affected by the operation, while the file register desig-
nator, ‘f’, represents the number of the file in which the
bit is located.
The literal instructions may use some of the following
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 required
(specified by ‘—’)
The control instructions may use some of the following
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
instructions (specified by ‘m’)
No operand required
(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 ‘1s. If
this second word is executed as an instruction (by
itself), it will execute as a NOP.
All single-word instructions are executed in a single
instruction cycle, unless a conditional test is true or the
Program Counter is changed as a result of the instruc-
tion. In these cases, the execution takes two instruction
cycles with the additional instruction cycle(s) executed
as a NOP.
The double-word instructions execute in two instruction
cycles.
One instruction cycle consists of four oscillator periods.
Thus, for an oscillator frequency of 4 MHz, the normal
instruction execution time is 1 s. If a conditional test 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.
Figure 29-1 shows the general formats that the instruc-
tions can have. All examples use the convention ‘nnh’
to represent a hexadecimal number.
The Instruction Set Summary, shown in Tab le 2 9-2,
lists the standard instructions recognized by the
Microchip MPASMTM Assembler.
Section 29.1.1 “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 the Program Counter (PC) is modified or a conditional test is true, the instruction requires two cycles. The
second cycle is executed as a NOP.
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.

29.2 Extended Instruction Set
In addition to the standard 75 instructions of the PIC18
instruction set, the PIC18FXXJ94 of devices also pro-
vides an optional extension to the core CPU functional-
ity. The added features include eight additional
instructions that augment Indirect and Indexed
Addressing operations and the implementation of
Indexed Literal Offset Addressing for many of the
standard PIC18 instructions.
The additional features of the extended instruction set
are enabled by default on unprogrammed devices.
Users must properly set or clear the XINST Configura-
tion bit during programming to enable or disable these
features.
The instructions in the extended set can all be
classified as literal operations, which either manipulate
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 extended instructions are specifically implemented
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 Pointer invocation
Software Stack Pointer manipulation
Manipulation of variables located in a software
stack
A summary of the instructions in the extended instruc-
tion set is provided in Tab le 2 9- 3. Detailed descriptions
are provided in Section 29.2.2 “Extended Instruction
Set”. The opcode field descriptions in Table 29 -1
(page 566) apply to both the standard and extended
PIC18 instruction sets.
29.2.1 EXTENDED INSTRUCTION SYNTAX
Most of the extended instructions use indexed argu-
ments, 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 indicate that the argument is used
as an index or offset. The MPASM™ Assembler will
flag an error if it determines that an index or offset value
is not bracketed.
When the extended instruction set is enabled, brackets
are also used to indicate index arguments in byte-
oriented and bit-oriented instructions. This is in addition
to other changes in their syntax. For more details, see
Section 29.2.3.1 “Extended Instruction Syntax with
Standard PIC18 Commands”.
TABLE 29-3: 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
provided as a reference for users who
may be 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 (“{ }”).

29.2.3 BYTE-ORIENTED AND BIT-
ORIENTED INSTRUCTIONS IN
INDEXED LITERAL OFFSET MODE
In addition to eight new commands in the extended set,
enabling the extended instruction set also enables
Indexed Literal Offset Addressing (Section 6.6.1
“Indexed Addressing with Literal Offset”). This has
a significant impact on the way that many commands of
the standard PIC18 instruction set are interpreted.
When the extended set is disabled, addresses embed-
ded in opcodes are treated as literal memory locations:
either as a location in the Access Bank (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 FSR2 and not as a
literal address. For practical purposes, this means that
all instructions that use the Access RAM bit as an
argument – that is, all byte-oriented and bit-oriented
instructions, or almost half of the core PIC18 instruc-
tions – 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 29.2.3.1
“Extended Instruction Syntax with Standard PIC18
Commands”).
Although the Indexed Literal Offset mode can be very
useful for dynamic stack and pointer manipulation, it
can also be very annoying if a simple arithmetic opera-
tion is carried out on the wrong register. Users who are
accustomed to the PIC18 programming must keep in
mind, that when the extended instruction set is
enabled, register addresses 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
mode are provided on the following page to show how
execution is affected. The operand conditions shown in
the examples are applicable to all instructions of these
types.
29.2.3.1 Extended Instruction Syntax with
Standard PIC18 Commands
When the extended instruction set is enabled, the file
register argument ‘f’ in the standard byte-oriented and
bit-oriented commands is replaced with the literal offset
value ‘k’. As already noted, this occurs only when ‘f’ is
less than or equal to 5Fh. When an offset value is used,
it must be indicated by square brackets (“[ ]”). As with
the extended instructions, the use of brackets indicates
to the compiler that the value is to be interpreted as an
index or an offset. Omitting the brackets, or using a
value greater than 5Fh within the brackets, will
generate an error in the MPASM™ Assembler.
If the index argument is properly bracketed for Indexed
Literal Offset Addressing, the Access RAM argument is
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,
language support for the extended instruction set must
be explicitly invoked. This is done with either the
command-line option, /y, or the PE directive in the
source listing.
29.2.4 CONSIDERATIONS WHEN
ENABLING THE EXTENDED
INSTRUCTION SET
It is important to note that the extensions to the instruc-
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
instructions in the legacy code may attempt to address
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 PIC18FXXJ94, it is
very important to consider 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 applications that
heavily use the Access Bank will most likely not benefit
from using the extended instruction set.
Note: Enabling the PIC18 instruction set exten-
sion may cause legacy applications to
behave erratically or fail entirely.

29.2.5 SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS WITH
MICROCHIP MPLAB® IDE TOOLS
The latest versions of Microchip’s software tools have
been designed to fully support the extended instruction
set for the PIC18F97J94 Family. This includes the
MPLAB C18 C Compiler, MPASM assembly language
and MPLAB Integrated Development Environment
(IDE).
When selecting a target device for software
development, MPLAB IDE will automatically set default
Configuration bits for that device. The default setting for
the XINST Configuration bit is 1’, enabling the
extended instruction set and Indexed Literal Offset
Addressing. For proper execution of applications
developed to take advantage of the extended
instruction set, XINST must be set during
programming.
To develop software for the extended instruction set,
the user must enable support for the instructions and
the Indexed Addressing mode in their language tool(s).
Depending on the environment 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 review the documentation accompany-
ing their development systems for the appropriate
information.

Note 1: Power dissipation is calculated as follows:
Pdis = VDD x {IDD IOH} + {(VDD – VOH) x IOH} + (VOL x IOL)
2: The original “USB 2.0 Specification” indicated that USB devices should withstand 24-hour short circuits of
D+ or D- to VBUS voltages. This requirement was later removed in an engineering change notice (ECN) sup-
plement to the USB specifications, which supersedes the original specifications. PIC18FXXJ94 family
devices will typically be able to survive this short circuit test, but it is recommended to adhere to the absolute
maximum specified here to avoid damaging the device.
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.

tested.
2: Incremental current while the module is enabled and running.
3: LCD is enabled and running, no glass is connected; the resistor ladder current is not included.
4: LCD is enabled and running, no glass is connected.
5: This is the module differential current when the USB module is enabled and clocked at 48 MHz, but with no USB cable
attached. When the USB cable is attached, or data is being transmitted, the current consumption may be much higher (see
Section 27.6.4 “USB Transceiver Current Consumption”). During USB Suspend mode (USBEN = 1, SUSPND = 1, bus in
Idle state), the USB module current will be dominated by the D+ or D- pull-up resistor. The integrated pull-up resistors use
“resistor switching” according to the resistor_ecn supplement to the “USB 2.0 Specification” and therefore, may be as low as
900 during Idle conditions.

Note 1: Instruction cycle period (TCY) equals four times the input oscillator time base period for all configurations
except PLL. All specified values are based on characterization data for that particular oscillator type under
standard operating conditions with the device executing code. Exceeding these specified limits may result
in an unstable oscillator operation and/or higher than expected current consumption. All devices are tested
to operate at “min.” values with an external clock applied to the OSC1/CLKIN pin. When an external clock
input is used, the “max.” cycle time limit is “DC” (no clock) for all devices.

integration capabilities, superior code optimization and
ease of use. MPLAB XC Compilers run on Windows,
Linux or MAC OS X.
For easy source level debugging, the compilers provide
debug information that is optimized to the MPLAB X
IDE.
The free MPLAB XC Compiler editions support all
devices and commands, with no time or memory
restrictions, and offer sufficient code optimization for
most applications.
MPLAB XC Compilers include an assembler, linker and
utilities. The assembler generates relocatable object
files that can then be archived or linked with other relo-
catable object files and archives to create an execut-
able file. MPLAB XC Compiler uses the assembler to
produce its object file. Notable features of the assem-
bler include:
Support for the entire device instruction set
Support for fixed-point and floating-point data
Command-line interface
Rich directive set
Flexible macro language
MPLAB X IDE compatibility

macro assembler for PIC10/12/16/18 MCUs.
The MPASM Assembler generates relocatable object
files for the MPLINK Object Linker, Intel® standard HEX
files, MAP files to detail memory usage and symbol
reference, absolute LST files that contain source lines
and generated machine code, and COFF files for
debugging.
The MPASM Assembler features include:
Integration into MPLAB X IDE projects
User-defined macros to streamline
assembly code
Conditional assembly for multipurpose
source files
Directives that allow complete control over the
assembly process
31.4 MPLINK Object Linker/
MPLIB Object Librarian
The MPLINK Object Linker combines relocatable
objects created by the MPASM Assembler. It can link
relocatable objects from precompiled libraries, using
directives from a linker script.
The MPLIB Object Librarian manages the creation and
modification of library files of precompiled code. When
a routine from a library is called from a source file, only
the modules that contain that routine will be linked in
with the application. This allows large libraries to be
used efficiently in many different applications.
The object linker/library features include:
Efficient linking of single libraries instead of many
smaller files
Enhanced code maintainability by grouping
related modules together
Flexible creation of libraries with easy module
listing, replacement, deletion and extraction
31.5 MPLAB Assembler, Linker and
Librarian for Various Device
Families
MPLAB Assembler produces relocatable machine
code from symbolic assembly language for PIC24,
PIC32 and dsPIC DSC devices. MPLAB XC Compiler
uses the assembler to produce its object file. The
assembler generates relocatable object files that can
then be archived or linked with other relocatable object
files and archives to create an executable file. Notable
features of the assembler include:
Support for the entire device instruction set
Support for fixed-point and floating-point data
Command-line interface
Rich directive set
Flexible macro language

31.6 MPLAB X SIM Software Simulator
The MPLAB X SIM Software Simulator allows code
development in a PC-hosted environment by simulat-
ing the PIC MCUs and dsPIC DSCs on an instruction
level. On any given instruction, the data areas can be
examined or modified and stimuli can be applied from
a comprehensive stimulus controller. Registers can be
logged to files for further run-time analysis. The trace
buffer and logic analyzer display extend the power of
the simulator to record and track program execution,
actions on I/O, most peripherals and internal registers.
The MPLAB X SIM Software Simulator fully supports
symbolic debugging using the MPLAB XC Compilers,
and the MPASM and MPLAB Assemblers. The soft-
ware simulator offers the flexibility to develop and
debug code outside of the hardware laboratory envi-
ronment, making it an excellent, economical software
development tool.
31.7 MPLAB REAL ICE In-Circuit
Emulator System
The MPLAB REAL ICE In-Circuit Emulator System is
Microchip’s next generation high-speed emulator for
Microchip Flash DSC and MCU devices. It debugs and
programs all 8, 16 and 32-bit MCU, and DSC devices
with the easy-to-use, powerful graphical user interface of
the MPLAB X IDE.
The emulator is connected to the design engineer’s
PC using a high-speed USB 2.0 interface and is
connected to the target with either a connector

Note the following details of the code protection feature on Microchip devices:
Microchip products meet the specification contained in their particular Microchip Data Sheet.
Microchip believes that its family of products is one of 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 Digital Millennium Copyright Act. If such acts
allow unauthorized access to your software or other copyrighted work, you may have a right to sue for relief under that Act.
Microchip received ISO/TS-16949:2009 certification for its worldwide
headquarters, design and wafer fabrication facilities in Chandler and
Tempe, Arizona; Gresham, Oregon and design centers in California
and India. The Company’s quality system processes and procedures
are for its PIC® MCUs and dsPIC® DSCs, KEELOQ® code hopping
devices, Serial EEPROMs, microperip herals, nonvola tile memory and
analog products. In addition, Microchip’s quality system for the design
and manufacture of development systems is ISO 9001:2000 certified.
