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-16949:2002 certification for its worldwide
headquarters, design and wafer fabrication facilities in Chandler and
Tempe, Arizona; Gresham, Oregon and design centers in California
and India. The Company’s quality system processes and procedures
are for its PIC® MCUs and dsPIC® DSCs, KEELOQ® code hopping
devices, Serial EEPROMs, microperipherals, nonvolatile memory and
analog products. In addition, Microchip’s quality system for the design
and manufacture of development systems is ISO 9001:2000 certified.

2.0 MEMORY ORGANIZATION
2.1 Program Memory Organization
The PIC16F91X/946 has a 13-bit program counter
capable of addressing a 4K x 14 program memory
space for the PIC16F913/914 (0000h-0FFFh) and an
8K x 14 program memory space for the PIC16F916/
917 and PIC16F946 (0000h-1FFFh). Accessing a
location above the memory boundaries for the
PIC16F913 and PIC16F914 will cause a wrap around
within the first 4K x 14 space. The Reset vector is at
0000h and the interrupt vector is at 0004h.

2.2 Data Memory Organization
The data memory is partitioned into multiple banks
which contain the General Purpose Registers (GPRs)
and the Special Function Registers (SFRs). Bits RP0
and RP1 are bank select bits.
RP1 RP0
00Bank 0 is selected
01Bank 1 is selected
10Bank 2 is selected
11Bank 3 is selected
Each bank extends up to 7Fh (128 bytes). The lower
locations of each bank are reserved for the Special
Function Registers. Above the Special Function
Registers are the General Purpose Registers,
implemented as static RAM. All implemented banks
contain Special Function Registers. Some frequently
used Special Function Registers from one bank are
mirrored in another bank for code reduction and
quicker access.
2.2.1 GENERAL PURPOSE REGISTER
FILE
The register file is organized as 256 x 8 bits in the
PIC16F913/914, 352 x 8 bits in the PIC16F916/917 and
336 x 8 bits in the PIC16F946. Each register is accessed
either directly or indirectly through the File Select
Register (FSR) (see Section 2.5 “Indirect Addressing,
INDF and FSR Registers”).
2.2.2 SPECIAL FUNCTION REGISTERS
The Special Function Registers are registers used by
the CPU and peripheral functions for controlling the
desired operation of the device (see Tables 2-1, 2-2,
2-3 and 2-4). These registers are static RAM.
The Special Function Registers can be classified into
two sets: core and peripheral. The Special Function
Registers associated with the “core” are described in
this section. Those related to the operation of the
peripheral features are described in the section of that
peripheral feature.

2.2.2.1 STATUS Register
The STATUS register, shown in Register 2-1, contains:
the arithmetic status of the ALU
the Reset status
the bank select bits for data memory (SRAM)
The STATUS register can be the destination for any
instruction, like any other register. If the STATUS
register is the destination for an instruction that affects
the Z, DC or C bits, then the write to these three bits is
disabled. These bits are set or cleared according to the
device logic. Furthermore, the TO and PD bits are not
writable. Therefore, the result of an instruction with the
STATUS register as destination may be different than
intended.
For example, CLRF STATUS will clear the upper three
bits and set the Z bit. This leaves the STATUS register
as ‘000u u1uu’ (where u = unchanged).
It is recommended, therefore, that only BCF, BSF,
SWAPF and MOVWF instructions are used to alter the
STATUS register, because these instructions do not
affect any Status bits. For other instructions not
affecting any Status bits (see Section 17.0
“Instruction Set Summary”).
Note 1: The C and DC bits operate as Borrow and
Digit Borrow out bits, respectively, in
subtraction.

1 = A carry-out from the Most Significant bit of the result occurred
0 = No carry-out from the Most Significant bit of the result occurred
Note 1: For Borrow, the polarity is reversed. A subtraction is executed by adding the two’s complement of the
second operand. For rotate (RRF, RLF) instructions, this bit is loaded with either the high-order or low-order
bit of the source register.

2.3 PCL and PCLATH
The Program Counter (PC) is 13 bits wide. The low
byte comes from the PCL register, which is a readable
and writable register. The high byte (PC<12:8>) is not
directly readable or writable and comes from
PCLATH. On any Reset, the PC is cleared. Figure 2-6
shows the two situations for the loading of the PC. The
upper example in Figure 2-6 shows how the PC is
loaded on a write to PCL (PCLATH<4:0> PCH).
The lower example in Figure 2-6 shows how the PC is
loaded during a CALL or GOTO instruction
(PCLATH<4:3> PCH).
FIGURE 2-6: LOADING OF PC IN
DIFFERENT SITUATIONS
2.3.1 COMPUTED GOTO
A computed GOTO is accomplished by adding an offset
to the program counter (ADDWF PCL). When perform-
ing a table read using a computed GOTO method, care
should be exercised if the table location crosses a PCL
memory boundary (each 256-byte block). Refer to the
Application Note AN556, “Implementing a Table Read”
(DS00556).
2.3.2 STACK
The PIC16F91X/946 family has an 8-level x 13-bit wide
hardware stack (see Figures 2-1 and 2-2). The stack
space is not part of either program or data space and
the Stack Pointer is not readable or writable. The PC is
PUSHed onto the stack when a CALL instruction is
executed or an interrupt causes a branch. The stack is
POPed in the event of a RETURN, RETLW or a RETFIE
instruction execution. PCLATH is not affected by a
PUSH or POP operation.
The stack operates as a circular buffer. This means that
after the stack has been PUSHed eight times, the ninth
PUSH overwrites the value that was stored from the
first PUSH. The tenth PUSH overwrites the second
PUSH (and so on).
2.4 Program Memory Paging
All PIC16F91X/946 devices are capable of addressing
a continuous 8K word block of program memory. The
CALL and GOTO instructions provide only 11 bits of
address to allow branching within any 2K program
memory page. When doing a CALL or GOTO instruction,
the upper 2 bits of the address are provided by
PCLATH<4:3>. When doing a CALL or GOTO instruc-
tion, the user must ensure that the page select bits are
programmed so that the desired program memory
page is addressed. If a return from a CALL instruction
(or interrupt) is executed, the entire 13-bit PC is POPed
off the stack. Therefore, manipulation of the
PCLATH<4:3> bits is not required for the RETURN
instructions (which POPs the address from the stack).
Example 2-1 shows the calling of a subroutine in
page 1 of the program memory. This example assumes
that PCLATH is saved and restored by the Interrupt
Service Routine (if interrupts are used).

Note 1: There are no Status bits to indicate stack

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

2.5 Indirect Addressing, INDF and
FSR Registers
The INDF register is not a physical register. Addressing
the INDF register will cause indirect addressing.
Indirect addressing is possible by using the INDF
register. Any instruction using the INDF register
actually accesses data pointed to by the File Select
Register (FSR). Reading INDF itself indirectly will
produce 00h. Writing to the INDF register indirectly
results in a no operation (although Status bits may be
affected). An effective 9-bit address is obtained by
concatenating the 8-bit FSR register and the IRP bit of
the STATUS register, as shown in Figure 2-7.
A simple program to clear RAM location 020h-02Fh
using indirect addressing is shown in Example 2-2.

3.0 I/O PORTS
The PIC16F913/914/916/917/946 family of devices
includes several 8-bit PORT registers along with their
corresponding TRIS registers and one four bit port:
PORTA and TRISA
PORTB and TRISB
PORTC and TRISC
PORTD and TRISD(1)
PORTE and TRISE
PORTF and TRISF(2)
PORTG and TRISG(2)
PORTA, PORTB, PORTC and RE3/MCLR/VPP are
implemented on all devices. PORTD and RE<2:0>
(PORTE) are implemented only on the PIC16F914/917
and PIC16F946. RE<7:4> (PORTE), PORTF and
PORTG are implemented only on the PIC16F946.
3.1 ANSEL Register
The ANSEL register (Register 3-1) is used to configure
the Input mode of an I/O pin to analog. Setting the
appropriate ANSEL bit high will cause all digital reads
on the pin to be read as ‘0’ and allow analog functions
on the pin to operate correctly.
The state of the ANSEL bits has no affect on digital out-
put functions. A pin with TRIS clear and ANSEL set will
still operate as a digital output, but the Input mode will
be analog. This can cause unexpected behavior when
executing read-modify-write instructions on the
affected port.

Note 1: Setting a pin to an analog input automatically disables the digital input circuitry, weak pull-ups, and
interrupt-on-change if available. The corresponding TRIS bit must be set to Input mode in order to allow
external control of the voltage on the pin.

3.2 PORTA and TRISA Registers
PORTA is a 8-bit wide, bidirectional port. The
corresponding data direction register is TRISA
(Register 3-3). Setting a TRISA bit (= 1) will make the
corresponding PORTA pin an input (i.e., put the
corresponding output driver in a High-Impedance mode).
Clearing a TRISA bit (= 0) will make the corresponding
PORTA pin an output (i.e., put the contents of the output
latch on the selected pin). Example 3-1 shows how to
initialize PORTA.
Five of the pins of PORTA can be configured as analog
inputs. These pins, RA5 and RA<3:0>, are configured
as analog inputs on device power-up and must be
reconfigured by the user to be used as I/O’s. This is
done by writing the appropriate values to the CMCON0
and ANSEL registers (see Example 3-1).
Reading the PORTA register (Register 3-2) reads the
status of the pins, whereas writing to it will write to the
PORT latch. All write operations are read-modify-write
operations. Therefore, a write to a port means that the
port pins are read, this value is modified and then written
to the PORT data latch.
The TRISA register controls the direction of the PORTA
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. I/O
pins configured as analog inputs always read0’.
EXAMPLE 3-1: INITIALIZING PORTA
Note 1: The CMCON0 and ANSEL registers must
be initialized to configure an analog
channel as a digital input. Pins configured
as analog inputs will read ‘0’.

3.3 PORTB and TRISB Registers
PORTB is an 8-bit bidirectional I/O port. All PORTB pins
can have a weak pull-up feature, and PORTB<7:4>
implements an interrupt-on-input change function.
PORTB is also used for the Serial Flash programming
interface and ICD interface.
EXAMPLE 3-2: INITIALIZING PORTB
3.4 Additional PORTB Pin Functions
RB<7:6> are used as data and clock signals, respectively,
for both serial programming and the in-circuit debugger
features on the device. Also, RB0 can be configured as an
external interrupt input.
3.4.1 WEAK PULL-UPS
Each of the PORTB pins has an individually configurable
internal weak pull-up. Control bits WPUB<7:0> enable or
disable each pull-up. Refer to Register 3-7. Each weak
pull-up is automatically turned off when the port pin is
configured as an output. The pull-ups are disabled on a
Power-on Reset by the RBPU bit of the OPTION
register.
3.4.2 INTERRUPT-ON-CHANGE
Four of the PORTB pins are individually configurable
as an interrupt-on-change pin. Control bits IOCB<7:4>
enable or disable the interrupt function for each pin.
Refer to Register 3-6. The interrupt-on-change feature
is disabled on a Power-on Reset.
For enabled interrupt-on-change pins, the values are
compared with the old value latched on the last read of
PORTB. The ‘mismatch’ outputs of the last read are
OR’d together to set the PORTB Change Interrupt flag
bit (RBIF) in the INTCON register (Register 2-3).
This interrupt can wake the device from Sleep. The user,
in the Interrupt Service Routine, clears the interrupt by:
a) Any read or write of PORTB. This will end the
mismatch condition.
b) Clear the flag bit RBIF.
A mismatch condition will continue to set flag bit RBIF.
Reading or writing PORTB will end the mismatch con-

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

3.5 PORTC and TRISC Registers
PORTC is an 8-bit bidirectional port. PORTC is
multiplexed with several peripheral functions. PORTC
pins have Schmitt Trigger input buffers.
All PORTC pins have latch bits (PORTC register).
They will modify the contents of the PORTC latch
(when written); thus, modifying the value driven out on
a pin if the corresponding TRISC bit is configured for
output.

4.0 OSCILLATOR MODULE (WITH
FAIL-SAFE CLOCK MONITOR)
4.1 Overview
The Oscillator module has a wide variety of clock
sources and selection features that allow it to be used
in a wide range of applications while maximizing perfor-
mance and minimizing power consumption. Figure 4-1
illustrates a block diagram of the Oscillator module.
Clock sources can be configured from external
oscillators, quartz crystal resonators, ceramic resonators
and Resistor-Capacitor (RC) circuits. In addition, the
system clock source can be configured from one of two
internal oscillators, with a choice of speeds selectable via
software. Additional clock features include:
Selectable system clock source between external
or internal via software.
Two-Speed Start-up mode, which minimizes
latency between external oscillator start-up and
code execution.
Fail-Safe Clock Monitor (FSCM) designed to
detect a failure of the external clock source (LP,
XT, HS, EC or RC modes) and switch
automatically to the internal oscillator.
The Oscillator module can be configured in one of eight
clock modes.
1. EC – External clock with I/O on OSC2/CLKOUT.
2. LP – 32 kHz Low-Power Crystal mode.
3. XT – Medium Gain Crystal or Ceramic
Resonator Oscillator mode.
4. HS – High Gain Crystal or Ceramic Resonator
mode.
5. RC – External Resistor-Capacitor (RC) with
FOSC/4 output on OSC2/CLKOUT.
6. RCIO – External Resistor-Capacitor (RC) with
I/O on OSC2/CLKOUT.
7. INTOSC – Internal oscillator with FOSC/4 output
on OSC2 and I/O on OSC1/CLKIN.
8. INTOSCIO – Internal oscillator with I/O on
OSC1/CLKIN and OSC2/CLKOUT.
Clock Source modes are configured by the FOSC<2:0>
bits in the Configuration Word register (CONFIG). The
internal clock can be generated from two internal
oscillators. The HFINTOSC is a calibrated
high-frequency oscillator. The LFINTOSC is an
uncalibrated low-frequency oscillator.

4.3 Clock Source Modes
Clock Source modes can be classified as external or
internal.
External Clock modes rely on external circuitry for
the clock source. Examples are: Oscillator mod-
ules (EC mode), quartz crystal resonators or
ceramic resonators (LP, XT and HS modes) and
Resistor-Capacitor (RC) mode circuits.
Internal clock sources are contained internally
within the Oscillator module. The Oscillator
module has two internal oscillators: the 8 MHz
High-Frequency Internal Oscillator (HFINTOSC)
and the 31 kHz Low-Frequency Internal Oscillator
(LFINTOSC).
The system clock can be selected between external or
internal clock sources via the System Clock Select
(SCS) bit of the OSCCON register. See Section 4.6
“Clock Switching” for additional information.
4.4 External Clock Modes
4.4.1 OSCILLATOR START-UP TIMER (OST)
If the Oscillator module is configured for LP, XT or HS
modes, the Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) counts
1024 oscillations from OSC1. This occurs following a
Power-on Reset (POR) and when the Power-up Timer
(PWRT) has expired (if configured), or a wake-up from
Sleep. During this time, the program counter does not
increment and program execution is suspended. The
OST ensures that the oscillator circuit, using a quartz
crystal resonator or ceramic resonator, has started and
is providing a stable system clock to the Oscillator
module. When switching between clock sources, a
delay is required to allow the new clock to stabilize.
These oscillator delays are shown in Table 4-1.
In order to minimize latency between external oscillator
start-up and code execution, the Two-Speed Clock
Start-up mode can be selected (see Section 4.7
“Two-Speed Clock Start-up Mode”).
TABLE 4-1: OSCILLATOR DELAY EXAMPLES
4.4.2 EC MODE
The External Clock (EC) mode allows an externally
generated logic level as the system clock source. When
operating in this mode, an external clock source is
connected to the OSC1 input and the OSC2 is available
for general purpose I/O. Figure 4-2 shows the pin
connections for EC mode.
The Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) is disabled when
EC mode is selected. Therefore, there is no delay in
operation after a Power-on Reset (POR) or wake-up
from Sleep. Because the PIC® MCU design is fully
static, stopping the external clock input will have the
effect of halting the device while leaving all data intact.
Upon restarting the external clock, the device will
resume operation as if no time had elapsed.

4.4.3 LP, XT, HS MODES
The LP, XT and HS modes support the use of quartz
crystal resonators or ceramic resonators connected to
OSC1 and OSC2 (Figure 4-3). The mode selects a low,
medium or high gain setting of the internal
inverter-amplifier to support various resonator types
and speed.
LP Oscillator mode selects the lowest gain setting of the
internal inverter-amplifier. LP mode current consumption
is the least of the three modes. This mode is designed to
drive only 32.768 kHz tuning-fork type crystals (watch
crystals).
XT Oscillator mode selects the intermediate gain
setting of the internal inverter-amplifier. XT mode
current consumption is the medium of the three modes.
This mode is best suited to drive resonators with a
medium drive level specification.
HS Oscillator mode selects the highest gain setting of the
internal inverter-amplifier. HS mode current consumption
is the highest of the three modes. This mode is best
suited for resonators that require a high drive setting.
Figure 4-3 and Figure 4-4 show typical circuits for
quartz crystal and ceramic resonators, respectively.

4.4.4 EXTERNAL RC MODES
The external Resistor-Capacitor (RC) modes support
the use of an external RC circuit. This allows the
designer maximum flexibility in frequency choice while
keeping costs to a minimum when clock accuracy is not
required. There are two modes: RC and RCIO.
In RC mode, the RC circuit connects to OSC1.
OSC2/CLKOUT outputs the RC oscillator frequency
divided by 4. This signal may be used to provide a clock
for external circuitry, synchronization, calibration, test
or other application requirements. Figure 4-5 shows
the external RC mode connections.
FIGURE 4-5: EXTERNAL RC MODES
In RCIO mode, the RC circuit is connected to OSC1.
OSC2 becomes an additional general purpose I/O pin.
The RC oscillator frequency is a function of the supply
voltage, the resistor (REXT) and capacitor (CEXT) values
and the operating temperature. Other factors affecting
the oscillator frequency are:
threshold voltage variation
component tolerances
packaging variations in capacitance
The user also needs to take into account variation due
to tolerance of external RC components used.
4.5 Internal Clock Modes
The Oscillator module has two independent, internal
oscillators that can be configured or selected as the
system clock source.
1. The HFINTOSC (High-Frequency Internal
Oscillator) is factory calibrated and operates at
8 MHz. The frequency of the HFINTOSC can be
user-adjusted via software using the OSCTUNE
register (Register 4-2).
2. The LFINTOSC (Low-Frequency Internal
Oscillator) is uncalibrated and operates at 31 kHz.
The system clock speed can be selected via software
using the Internal Oscillator Frequency Select bits
IRCF<2:0> of the OSCCON register.
The system clock can be selected between external or
internal clock sources via the System Clock Selection
(SCS) bit of the OSCCON register. See Section 4.6
“Clock Switching” for more information.
4.5.1 INTOSC AND INTOSCIO MODES
The INTOSC and INTOSCIO modes configure the
internal oscillators as the system clock source when
the device is programmed using the oscillator selection
or the FOSC<2:0> bits in the Configuration Word
register (CONFIG). See Section 16.0 “Special
Features of the CPU” for more information.
In INTOSC mode, OSC1/CLKIN is available for general
purpose I/O. OSC2/CLKOUT outputs the selected
internal oscillator frequency divided by 4. The CLKOUT
signal may be used to provide a clock for external
circuitry, synchronization, calibration, test or other
application requirements.
In INTOSCIO mode, OSC1/CLKIN and OSC2/CLKOUT
are available for general purpose I/O.
4.5.2 HFINTOSC
The High-Frequency Internal Oscillator (HFINTOSC) is
a factory calibrated 8 MHz internal clock source. The
frequency of the HFINTOSC can be altered via
software using the OSCTUNE register (Register 4-2).
The output of the HFINTOSC connects to a postscaler
and multiplexer (see Figure 4-1). One of seven
frequencies can be selected via software using the
IRCF<2:0> bits of the OSCCON register. See
Section 4.5.4 “Frequency Select Bits (IRCF)” for
more information.
The HFINTOSC is enabled by selecting any frequency
between 8 MHz and 125 kHz by setting the IRCF<2:0>
bits of the OSCCON register 000. Then, set the
System Clock Source (SCS) bit of the OSCCON
register to1 or enable Two-Speed Start-up by setting
the IESO bit in the Configuration Word register
(CONFIG) to ‘1’.
The HF Internal Oscillator (HTS) bit of the OSCCON
register indicates whether the HFINTOSC is stable or not.

4.5.2.1 OSCTUNE Register
The HFINTOSC is factory calibrated but can be
adjusted in software by writing to the OSCTUNE
register (Register 4-2).
The default value of the OSCTUNE register is ‘0’. The
value is a 5-bit two’s complement number.
When the OSCTUNE register is modified, the
HFINTOSC frequency will begin shifting to the new
frequency. Code execution continues during this shift.
There is no indication that the shift has occurred.
OSCTUNE does not affect the LFINTOSC frequency.
Operation of features that depend on the LFINTOSC
clock source frequency, such as the Power-up Timer
(PWRT), Watchdog Timer (WDT), Fail-Safe Clock
Monitor (FSCM) and peripherals, are not affected by the
change in frequency.

PIC16F913/914/916/917/946
4.5.3 LFINTOSC
The Low-Frequency Internal Oscillator (LFINTOSC) is
an uncalibrated 31 kHz internal clock source.
The output of the LFINTOSC connects to a postscaler
and multiplexer (see Figure 4-1). Select 31 kHz, via
software, using the IRCF<2:0> bits of the OSCCON
register. See Section 4.5.4 “Frequency Select Bits
(IRCF)” for more information. The LFINTOSC is also the
frequency for the Power-up Timer (PWRT), Watchdog
Timer (WDT) and Fail-Safe Clock Monitor (FSCM).
The LFINTOSC is enabled by selecting 31 kHz
(IRCF<2:0> bits of the OSCCON register = 000) as the
system clock source (SCS bit of the OSCCON
register = 1), or when any of the following are enabled:
Two-Speed Start-up IESO bit of the Configuration
Word register = 1 and IRCF<2:0> bits of the
OSCCON register = 000
Power-up Timer (PWRT)
Watchdog Timer (WDT)
Fail-Safe Clock Monitor (FSCM)
The LF Internal Oscillator (LTS) bit of the OSCCON
register indicates whether the LFINTOSC is stable or
not.
4.5.4 FREQUENCY SELECT BITS (IRCF)
The output of the 8 MHz HFINTOSC and 31 kHz
LFINTOSC connects to a postscaler and multiplexer
(see Figure 4-1). The Internal Oscillator Frequency
Select bits IRCF<2:0> of the OSCCON register select
the frequency output of the internal oscillators. One of
eight frequencies can be selected via software:
•8 MHz
4 MHz (Default after Reset)
•2 MHz
•1 MHz
500 kHz
250 kHz
125 kHz
31 kHz (LFINTOSC)
4.5.5 HF AND LF INTOSC CLOCK
SWITCH TIMING
When switching between the LFINTOSC and the
HFINTOSC, the new oscillator may already be shut
down to save power (see Figure 4-6). If this is the case,
there is a delay after the IRCF<2:0> bits of the
OSCCON register are modified before the frequency
selection takes place. The LTS and HTS bits of the
OSCCON register will reflect the current active status
of the LFINTOSC and HFINTOSC oscillators. The
timing of a frequency selection is as follows:
1. IRCF<2:0> bits of the OSCCON register are
modified.
2. If the new clock is shut down, a clock start-up
delay is started.
3. Clock switch circuitry waits for a falling edge of
the current clock.
4. CLKOUT is held low and the clock switch
circuitry waits for a rising edge in the new clock.
5. CLKOUT is now connected with the new clock.
LTS and HTS bits of the OSCCON register are
updated as required.
6. Clock switch is complete.
See Figure 4-1 for more details.
If the internal oscillator speed selected is between
8 MHz and 125 kHz, there is no start-up delay before
the new frequency is selected. This is because the old
and new frequencies are derived from the HFINTOSC
via the postscaler and multiplexer.
Start-up delay specifications are located under the
oscillator parameters of Section 19.0 “Electrical
Specifications”.
Note: Following any Reset, the IRCF<2:0> bits of
the OSCCON register are set to110’ and
the frequency selection is set to 4 MHz.
The user can modify the IRCF bits to
select a different frequency.

4.6 Clock Switching
The system clock source can be switched between
external and internal clock sources via software using
the System Clock Select (SCS) bit of the OSCCON
register.
4.6.1 SYSTEM CLOCK SELECT (SCS) BIT
The System Clock Select (SCS) bit of the OSCCON
register selects the system clock source that is used for
the CPU and peripherals.
When the SCS bit of the OSCCON register = 0,
the system clock source is determined by
configuration of the FOSC<2:0> bits in the
Configuration Word register (CONFIG).
When the SCS bit of the OSCCON register = 1,
the system clock source is chosen by the internal
oscillator frequency selected by the IRCF<2:0>
bits of the OSCCON register. After a Reset, the
SCS bit of the OSCCON register is always
cleared.
4.6.2 OSCILLATOR START-UP TIME-OUT
STATUS (OSTS) BIT
The Oscillator Start-up Time-out Status (OSTS) bit of
the OSCCON register indicates whether the system
clock is running from the external clock source, as
defined by the FOSC<2:0> bits in the Configuration
Word register (CONFIG), or from the internal clock
source. In particular, OSTS indicates that the Oscillator
Start-up Timer (OST) has timed out for LP, XT or HS
modes.
4.7 Two-Speed Clock Start-up Mode
Two-Speed Start-up mode provides additional power
savings by minimizing the latency between external
oscillator start-up and code execution. In applications
that make heavy use of the Sleep mode, Two-Speed
Start-up will remove the external oscillator start-up
time from the time spent awake and can reduce the
overall power consumption of the device.
This mode allows the application to wake-up from
Sleep, perform a few instructions using the INTOSC
as the clock source and go back to Sleep without
waiting for the primary oscillator to become stable.
When the Oscillator module is configured for LP, XT or
HS modes, the Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) is
enabled (see Section 4.4.1 “Oscillator Start-up Timer
(OST)). The OST will suspend program execution until
1024 oscillations are counted. Two-Speed Start-up
mode minimizes the delay in code execution by
operating from the internal oscillator as the OST is
counting. When the OST count reaches 1024 and the
OSTS bit of the OSCCON register is set, program
execution switches to the external oscillator.
4.7.1 TWO-SPEED START-UP MODE
CONFIGURATION
Two-Speed Start-up mode is configured by the
following settings:
IESO (of the Configuration Word register) = 1;
Internal/External Switchover bit (Two-Speed
Start-up mode enabled).
SCS (of the OSCCON register) = 0.
FOSC<2:0> bits in the Configuration Word
register (CONFIG) configured for LP, XT or HS
mode.
Two-Speed Start-up mode is entered after:
Power-on Reset (POR) and, if enabled, after
Power-up Timer (PWRT) has expired, or
Wake-up from Sleep.
If the external clock oscillator is configured to be
anything other than LP, XT or HS mode, then
Two-Speed Start-up is disabled. This is because the
external clock oscillator does not require any
stabilization time after POR or an exit from Sleep.
4.7.2 TWO-SPEED START-UP
SEQUENCE
1. Wake-up from Power-on Reset or Sleep.
2. Instructions begin execution by the internal
oscillator at the frequency set in the IRCF<2:0>
bits of the OSCCON register.
3. OST enabled to count 1024 clock cycles.
4. OST timed out, wait for falling edge of the
internal oscillator.
5. OSTS is set.
6. System clock held low until the next falling edge
of new clock (LP, XT or HS mode).
7. System clock is switched to external clock
source.
Note: Any automatic clock switch, which may
occur from Two-Speed Start-up or Fail-Safe
Clock Monitor, does not update the SCS bit
of the OSCCON register. The user can
monitor the OSTS bit of the OSCCON
register to determine the current system
clock source.
Note: Executing a SLEEP instruction will abort
the oscillator start-up time and will cause
the OSTS bit of the OSCCON register to
remain clear.

4.7.3 CHECKING TWO-SPEED CLOCK
STATUS
Checking the state of the OSTS bit of the OSCCON
register will confirm if the microcontroller is running
from the external clock source, as defined by the
FOSC<2:0> bits in the Configuration Word register
(CONFIG), or the internal oscillator.

4.8 Fail-Safe Clock Monitor
The Fail-Safe Clock Monitor (FSCM) allows the device
to continue operating should the external oscillator fail.
The FSCM can detect oscillator failure any time after
the Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) has expired. The
FSCM is enabled by setting the FCMEN bit in the
Configuration Word register (CONFIG). The FSCM is
applicable to all external oscillator modes (LP, XT, HS,
EC, RC and RCIO).
FIGURE 4-8: FSCM BLOCK DIAGRAM
4.8.1 FAIL-SAFE DETECTION
The FSCM module detects a failed oscillator by
comparing the external oscillator to the FSCM sample
clock. The sample clock is generated by dividing the
LFINTOSC by 64. See Figure 4-8. Inside the fail
detector block is a latch. The external clock sets the
latch on each falling edge of the external clock. The
sample clock clears the latch on each rising edge of the
sample clock. A failure is detected when an entire
half-cycle of the sample clock elapses before the
primary clock goes low.
4.8.2 FAIL-SAFE OPERATION
When the external clock fails, the FSCM switches the
device clock to an internal clock source and sets the bit
flag OSFIF of the PIR2 register. Setting this flag will
generate an interrupt if the OSFIE bit of the PIE2
register is also set. The device firmware can then take
steps to mitigate the problems that may arise from a
failed clock. The system clock will continue to be
sourced from the internal clock source until the device
firmware successfully restarts the external oscillator
and switches back to external operation.
The internal clock source chosen by the FSCM is
determined by the IRCF<2:0> bits of the OSCCON
register. This allows the internal oscillator to be
configured before a failure occurs.
4.8.3 FAIL-SAFE CONDITION CLEARING
The Fail-Safe condition is cleared after a Reset,
executing a SLEEP instruction or toggling the SCS bit
of the OSCCON register. When the SCS bit is toggled,
the OST is restarted. While the OST is running, the
device continues to operate from the INTOSC selected
in OSCCON. When the OST times out, the Fail-Safe
condition is cleared and the device will be operating
from the external clock source. The Fail-Safe condition
must be cleared before the OSFIF flag can be cleared.
4.8.4 RESET OR WAKE-UP FROM SLEEP
The FSCM is designed to detect an oscillator failure
after the Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) has expired.
The OST is used after waking up from Sleep and after
any type of Reset. The OST is not used with the EC or
RC Clock modes so that the FSCM will be active as
soon as the Reset or wake-up has completed. When
the FSCM is enabled, the Two-Speed Start-up is also
enabled. Therefore, the device will always be executing
code while the OST is operating.

Note: Due to the wide range of oscillator start-up

Reset or Sleep). After an appropriate

OSTS bit of the OSCCON register to verify
the oscillator start-up and that the system
clock switchover has successfully
completed.

increment every instruction cycle (without prescaler).
Timer mode is selected by clearing the T0CS bit of the
OPTION register to ‘0’.
When TMR0 is written, the increment is inhibited for
two instruction cycles immediately following the write.
5.1.2 8-BIT COUNTER MODE
When used as a counter, the Timer0 module will
increment on every rising or falling edge of the T0CKI
pin. The incrementing edge is determined by the T0SE
bit of the Option register. Counter mode is selected by
setting the T0CS bit of the Option register to ‘1’.
FIGURE 5-1: BLOCK DIAGRAM OF THE TIMER0/WDT PRESCALER
Note: The value written to the TMR0 register can
be adjusted, in order to account for the two
instruction cycle delay when TMR0 is
written.

5.1.3 SOFTWARE PROGRAMMABLE
PRESCALER
A single software programmable prescaler is available
for use with either Timer0 or the Watchdog Timer
(WDT), but not both simultaneously. The prescaler
assignment is controlled by the PSA bit of the Option
register. To assign the prescaler to Timer0, the PSA bit
must be cleared to a0’.
There are 8 prescaler options for the Timer0 module
ranging from 1:2 to 1:256. The prescale values are
selectable via the PS<2:0> bits of the OPTION register.
In order to have a 1:1 prescaler value for the Timer0
module, the prescaler must be assigned to the WDT
module.
The prescaler is not readable or writable. When
assigned to the Timer0 module, all instructions writing to
the TMR0 register will clear the prescaler.
When the prescaler is assigned to WDT, a CLRWDT
instruction will clear the prescaler along with the WDT.
5.1.3.1 Switching Prescaler Between
Timer0 and WDT Modules
As a result of having the prescaler assigned to either
Timer0 or the WDT, it is possible to generate an
unintended device Reset when switching prescaler
values. When changing the prescaler assignment from
Timer0 to the WDT module, the instruction sequence
shown in Example 5-1, must be executed.
EXAMPLE 5-1: CHANGING PRESCALER
(TIMER0 WDT)
When changing the prescaler assignment from the
WDT to the Timer0 module, the following instruction
sequence must be executed (see Example 5-2).
EXAMPLE 5-2: CHANGING PRESCALER
(WDT TIMER0)
5.1.4 TIMER0 INTERRUPT
Timer0 will generate an interrupt when the TMR0
register overflows from FFh to 00h. The T0IF interrupt
flag bit of the INTCON register is set every time the
TMR0 register overflows, regardless of whether or not
the Timer0 interrupt is enabled. The T0IF bit must be
cleared in software. The Timer0 interrupt enable is the
T0IE bit of the INTCON register.
5.1.5 USING TIMER0 WITH AN
EXTERNAL CLOCK
When Timer0 is in Counter mode, the synchronization
of the T0CKI input and the Timer0 register is accom-
plished by sampling the prescaler output on the Q2 and
Q4 cycles of the internal phase clocks. Therefore, the
high and low periods of the external clock source must
meet the timing requirements as shown in

6.0 TIMER1 MODULE WITH GATE
CONTROL
The Timer1 module is a 16-bit timer/counter with the
following features:
16-bit timer/counter register pair (TMR1H:TMR1L)
Programmable internal or external clock source
3-bit prescaler
Optional LP oscillator
Synchronous or asynchronous operation
Timer1 gate (count enable) via comparator or
T1G pin
Interrupt on overflow
Wake-up on overflow (external clock,
Asynchronous mode only)
Clock source for LCD module
Figure 6-1 is a block diagram of the Timer1 module.
6.1 Timer1 Operation
The Timer1 module is a 16-bit incrementing counter
which is accessed through the TMR1H:TMR1L register
pair. Writes to TMR1H or TMR1L directly update the
counter.
When used with an internal clock source, the module is
a timer. When used with an external clock source, the
module can be used as either a timer or counter.
6.2 Clock Source Selection
The TMR1CS bit of the T1CON register is used to select
the clock source. When TMR1CS = 0, the clock source
is FOSC/4. When TMR1CS = 1, the clock source is
supplied externally.

6.2.1 INTERNAL CLOCK SOURCE
When the internal clock source is selected, the
TMR1H:TMR1L register pair will increment on multiples
of TCY as determined by the Timer1 prescaler.
6.2.2 EXTERNAL CLOCK SOURCE
When the external clock source is selected, the Timer1
module may work as a timer or a counter.
When counting, Timer1 is incremented on the rising
edge of the external clock input T1CKI. In addition, the
Counter mode clock can be synchronized to the
microcontroller system clock or run asynchronously.
In Counter mode, a falling edge must be registered by
the counter prior to the first incrementing rising edge
after one or more of the following conditions:
Timer1 is enabled after POR or BOR Reset
A write to TMR1H or TMR1L
T1CKI is high when Timer1 is disabled and when
Timer1 is reenabled T1CKI is low. See Figure 6-2.
6.3 Timer1 Prescaler
Timer1 has four prescaler options allowing 1, 2, 4 or 8
divisions of the clock input. The T1CKPS bits of the
T1CON register control the prescale counter. The
prescale counter is not directly readable or writable;
however, the prescaler counter is cleared upon a write to
TMR1H or TMR1L.
6.4 Timer1 Oscillator
A low-power 32.768 kHz crystal oscillator is built-in
between pins OSC1 (input) and OSC2 (amplifier output).
The oscillator is enabled by setting the T1OSCEN
control bit of the T1CON register. The oscillator will
continue to run during Sleep.
The Timer1 oscillator is shared with the system LP
oscillator. Thus, Timer1 can use this mode only when
the primary system clock is derived from the internal
oscillator or when in LP oscillator mode. The user must
provide a software time delay to ensure proper oscilla-
tor start-up.
TRISA7 and TRISA6 bits are set when the Timer1
oscillator is enabled. RA7 and RA6 bits read as ‘0’ and
TRISA7 and TRISA6 bits read as ‘1’.
6.5 Timer1 Operation in
Asynchronous Counter Mode
If control bit T1SYNC of the T1CON register is set, the
external clock input is not synchronized. The timer
continues to increment asynchronous to the internal
phase clocks. The timer will continue to run during
Sleep and can generate an interrupt on overflow,
which will wake-up the processor. However, special
precautions in software are needed to read/write the
timer (see Section 6.5.1 “Reading and Writing
Timer1 in Asynchronous Counter Mode”).
6.5.1 READING AND WRITING TIMER1 IN
ASYNCHRONOUS COUNTER
MODE
Reading TMR1H or TMR1L while the timer is running
from an external asynchronous clock will ensure a valid
read (taken care of in hardware). However, the user
should keep in mind that reading the 16-bit timer in two
8-bit values itself poses certain problems, since the
timer may overflow between the reads.
For writes, it is recommended that the user simply stop
the timer and write the desired values. A write
contention may occur by writing to the timer registers,
while the register is incrementing. This may produce an
unpredictable value in the TMR1H:TMR1L register pair.
6.6 Timer1 Gate
Timer1 gate source is software configurable to be the
T1G pin or the output of Comparator C2. This allows the
device to directly time external events using T1G or
analog events using Comparator C2. See the CMCON1
register (Register 8-2) for selecting the Timer1 gate
source. This feature can simplify the software for a
Delta-Sigma A/D converter and many other applications.
For more information on Delta-Sigma A/D converters,
see the Microchip web site (www.microchip.com).
Timer1 gate can be inverted using the T1GINV bit of
the T1CON register, whether it originates from the T1G
pin or Comparator C2 output. This configures Timer1 to
measure either the active-high or active-low time
between events.
Note: The oscillator requires a start-up and
stabilization time before use. Thus,
T1OSCEN should be set and a suitable
delay observed prior to enabling Timer1.
Note 1: When switching from synchronous to
asynchronous operation, it is possible to
skip an increment. When switching from
asynchronous to synchronous operation,
it is possible to produce an additional
increment.
Note: TMR1GE bit of the T1CON register must be
set to use the Timer1 gate.

DS41250F-page 104 © 2007 Microchip Technology Inc.
6.7 Timer1 Interrupt
The Timer1 register pair (TMR1H:TMR1L) increments
to FFFFh and rolls over to 0000h. When Timer1 rolls
over, the Timer1 interrupt flag bit of the PIR1 register is
set. To enable the interrupt on rollover, you must set
these bits:
Timer1 interrupt enable bit of the PIE1 register
PEIE bit of the INTCON register
GIE bit of the INTCON register
The interrupt is cleared by clearing the TMR1IF bit in
the Interrupt Service Routine.
6.8 Timer1 Operation During Sleep
Timer1 can only operate during Sleep when setup in
Asynchronous Counter mode. In this mode, an external
crystal or clock source can be used to increment the
counter. To set up the timer to wake the device:
TMR1ON bit of the T1CON register must be set
TMR1IE bit of the PIE1 register must be set
PEIE bit of the INTCON register must be set
The device will wake-up on an overflow and execute
the next instruction. If the GIE bit of the INTCON
register is set, the device will call the Interrupt Service
Routine (0004h).
6.9 Clock Source for LCD Module
The Timer1 oscillator can be used to provide a clock for
the LCD module. This clock may be configured to
remain running during Sleep.
For more information, see Section 10.0 “Liquid Crys-
tal Display (LCD) Driver Module”.
FIGURE 6-2: TIMER1 INCREMENTING EDGE

7.0 TIMER2 MODULE
The Timer2 module is an 8-bit timer with the following
features:
8-bit timer register (TMR2)
8-bit period register (PR2)
Interrupt on TMR2 match with PR2
Software programmable prescaler (1:1, 1:4, 1:16)
Software programmable postscaler (1:1 to 1:16)
See Figure 7-1 for a block diagram of Timer2.
7.1 Timer2 Operation
The clock input to the Timer2 module is the system
instruction clock (FOSC/4). The clock is fed into the
Timer2 prescaler, which has prescale options of 1:1,
1:4 or 1:16. The output of the prescaler is then used to
increment the TMR2 register.
The values of TMR2 and PR2 are constantly compared
to determine when they match. TMR2 will increment
from 00h until it matches the value in PR2. When a
match occurs, two things happen:
TMR2 is reset to 00h on the next increment cycle.
The Timer2 postscaler is incremented.
The match output of the Timer2/PR2 comparator is
then fed into the Timer2 postscaler. The postscaler has
postscale options of 1:1 to 1:16 inclusive. The output of
the Timer2 postscaler is used to set the TMR2IF
interrupt flag bit in the PIR1 register.
The TMR2 and PR2 registers are both fully readable
and writable. On any Reset, the TMR2 register is set to
00h and the PR2 register is set to FFh.
Timer2 is turned on by setting the TMR2ON bit in the
T2CON register to a ‘1’. Timer2 is turned off by clearing
the TMR2ON bit to a ‘0’.
The Timer2 prescaler is controlled by the T2CKPS bits
in the T2CON register. The Timer2 postscaler is
controlled by the TOUTPS bits in the T2CON register.
The prescaler and postscaler counters are cleared
when:
A write to TMR2 occurs.
A write to T2CON occurs.
Any device Reset occurs (Power-on Reset, MCLR
Reset, Watchdog Timer Reset, or Brown-out
Reset).

8.0 COMPARATOR MODULE
Comparators are used to interface analog circuits to a
digital circuit by comparing two analog voltages and
providing a digital indication of their relative magnitudes.
The comparators are very useful mixed signal building
blocks because they provide analog functionality
independent of the program execution. The Analog
Comparator module includes the following features:
Dual comparators
Multiple comparator configurations
Comparator outputs are available
internally/externally
Programmable output polarity
Interrupt-on-change
Wake-up from Sleep
Timer1 gate (count enable)
Output synchronization to Timer1 clock input
Programmable voltage reference
8.1 Comparator Overview
A comparator is shown in Figure 8-1 along with the
relationship between the analog input levels and the
digital output. When the analog voltage at VIN+ is less
than the analog voltage at VIN-, the output of the
comparator is a digital low level. When the analog
voltage at VIN+ is greater than the analog voltage at
VIN-, the output of the comparator is a digital high level.
FIGURE 8-1: SINGLE COMPARATOR
This device contains two comparators as shown in
Figure 8-2 and Figure 8-3. The comparators are not
independently configurable.
Note: Only Comparator C2 can be linked to
Timer1.

8.1.1 ANALOG INPUT CONNECTION
CONSIDERATIONS
A simplified circuit for an analog input is shown in
Figure 8-4. Since the analog input pins share their con-
nection with a digital input, they have reverse biased
ESD protection 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 may occur.
A maximum source impedance of 10 kΩ is recommended
for the analog sources. Also, any external component
connected to an analog input pin, such as a capacitor or
a Zener diode, should have very little leakage current to
minimize inaccuracies introduced.
FIGURE 8-4: ANALOG INPUT MODEL
Note 1: When reading a PORT register, all pins
configured as analog inputs will read as a
0’. Pins configured as digital inputs will
convert as an analog input, according to
the input specification.
2: Analog levels on any pin defined as a
digital input, may cause the input buffer to
consume more current than is specified.

8.2 Comparator Configuration
There are eight modes of operation for the comparator.
The CM<2:0> bits of the CMCON0 register are used to
select these modes as shown in Figure 8-5. I/O lines
change as a function of the mode and are designated
as follows:
Analog function (A): digital input buffer is disabled
Digital function (D): comparator digital output,
overrides port function
Normal port function (I/O): independent of
comparator
The port pins denoted as “A” will read as a ‘0
regardless of the state of the I/O pin or the I/O control
TRIS bit. Pins used as analog inputs should also have
the corresponding TRIS bit set to1’ to disable the
digital output driver. Pins denoted as “D” should have
the corresponding TRIS bit set to0’ to enable the
digital output driver.
Note: Comparator interrupts should be disabled
during a Comparator mode change to
prevent unintended interrupts.

8.3 Comparator Control
The CMCON0 register (Register 8-1) provides access
to the following comparator features:
Mode selection
Output state
Output polarity
Input switch
8.3.1 COMPARATOR OUTPUT STATE
Each comparator state can always be read internally
via the associated CxOUT bit of the CMCON0 register.
The comparator outputs are directed to the CxOUT
pins when CM<2:0> = 110. When this mode is
selected, the TRIS bits for the associated CxOUT pins
must be cleared to enable the output drivers.
8.3.2 COMPARATOR OUTPUT POLARITY
Inverting the output of a comparator is functionally
equivalent to swapping the comparator inputs. The
polarity of a comparator output can be inverted by set-
ting the CxINV bits of the CMCON0 register. Clearing
CxINV results in a non-inverted output. A complete
table showing the output state versus input conditions
and the polarity bit is shown in Table 8-1.
TABLE 8-1: OUTPUT STATE VS. INPUT
CONDITIONS
8.3.3 COMPARATOR INPUT SWITCH
The inverting input of the comparators may be switched
between two analog pins or an analog input pin and
and the fixed voltage reference in the following modes:
CM<2:0> = 001 (Comparator C1 only)
CM<2:0> = 010 (Comparators C1 and C2)
CM<2:0> = 101 (Comparator C2 only)
In the above modes, both pins remain in Analog mode
regardless of which pin is selected as the input. The CIS
bit of the CMCON0 register controls the comparator
input switch.
8.4 Comparator Response Time
The comparator output is indeterminate for a period of
time after the change of an input source or the selection
of a new reference voltage. This period is referred to as
the response time. The response time of the comparator
differs from the settling time of the voltage reference.
Therefore, both of these times must be considered when
determining the total response time to a comparator
input change. See the Comparator and Voltage
Reference Specifications in Section 19.0 “Electrical
Specifications” for more details.
8.5 Comparator Interrupt Operation
The comparator interrupt flag is set whenever there is
a change in the output value of the comparator.
Changes are recognized by means of a mismatch
circuit which consists of two latches and an
exclusive-or gate (see Figure 8-2 and Figure 8-3). One
latch is updated with the comparator output level when
the CMCON0 register is read. This latch retains the
value until the next read of the CMCON0 register or the
occurrence of a Reset. The other latch of the mismatch
circuit is updated on every Q1 system clock. A
mismatch condition will occur when a comparator
output change is clocked through the second latch on
the Q1 clock cycle. The mismatch condition will persist,
holding the CxIF bit of the PIR2 register true, until either
the CMCON0 register is read or the comparator output
returns to the previous state.
Software will need to maintain information about the
status of the comparator output to determine the actual
change that has occurred.
The CxIF bit of the PIR2 register is the comparator
interrupt flag. This bit must be reset in software by
clearing it to0’. Since it is also possible to write a ‘1’ to
this register, a simulated interrupt may be initiated.
The CxIE bit of the PIE2 register and the PEIE and GIE
bits of the INTCON register must all be set to enable
comparator interrupts. If any of these bits are cleared,
the interrupt is not enabled, although the CxIF bit of the
PIR2 register will still be set if an interrupt condition
occurs.
The user, in the Interrupt Service Routine, can clear the
interrupt in the following manner:
a) Any read or write of CMCON0. This will end the
mismatch condition. See Figures 8-6 and 8-7
b) Clear the CxIF interrupt flag.
A persistent mismatch condition will preclude clearing
the CxIF interrupt flag. Reading CMCON0 will end the
mismatch condition and allow the CxIF bit to be cleared.
Input Conditions CxINV CxOUT
VIN- > VIN+00
VIN- < VIN+01
VIN- > VIN+11
VIN- < VIN+10
Note: CxOUT refers to both the register bit and
output pin.
Note: A write operation to the CMCON0 register
will also clear the mismatch condition
because all writes include a read
operation at the beginning of the write
cycle.

8.6 Operation During Sleep
The comparator, if enabled before entering Sleep mode,
remains active during Sleep. The additional current
consumed by the comparator is shown separately in the
Section 19.0 “Electrical Specifications. If the
comparator is not used to wake the device, power
consumption can be minimized while in Sleep mode by
turning off the comparator. The comparator is turned off
by selecting mode CM<2:0> = 000 or CM<2:0> = 111
of the CMCON0 register.
A change to the comparator output can wake-up the
device from Sleep. To enable the comparator to wake
the device from Sleep, the CxIE bit of the PIE2 register
and the PEIE bit of the INTCON register must be set.
The instruction following the Sleep instruction always
executes following a wake from Sleep. If the GIE bit of
the INTCON register is also set, the device will then
execute the Interrupt Service Routine.
8.7 Effects of a Reset
A device Reset forces the CMCON0 and CMCON1
registers to their Reset states. This forces the Compar-
ator module to be in the Comparator Reset mode
(CM<2:0> = 000). Thus, all comparator inputs are
analog inputs with the comparator disabled to consume
the smallest current possible.
Note 1: If a change in the CMCON0 register
(CxOUT) occurs when a read operation is
being executed (start of the Q2 cycle),
then the CxIF Interrupt Flag bit of the
PIR2 register may not get set.
2: When either comparator is first enabled,
bias circuitry in the Comparator module
may cause an invalid output from the
comparator until the bias circuitry is stable.
Allow about 1 μs for bias settling then clear
the mismatch condition and interrupt flags
before enabling comparator interrupts.

8.8 Comparator C2 Gating Timer1
This feature can be used to time the duration or interval
of analog events. Clearing the T1GSS bit of the
CMCON1 register will enable Timer1 to increment
based on the output of Comparator C2. This requires
that Timer1 is on and gating is enabled. See
Section 6.0 “Timer1 Module with Gate Control” for
details.
It is recommended to synchronize Comparator C2 with
Timer1 by setting the C2SYNC bit when the comparator
is used as the Timer1 gate source. This ensures Timer1
does not miss an increment if the comparator changes
during an increment.
8.9 Synchronizing Comparator C2
Output to Timer1
The output of Comparator C2 can be synchronized with
Timer1 by setting the C2SYNC bit of the CMCON1
register. When enabled, the comparator output is
latched on the falling edge of the Timer1 clock source.
If a prescaler is used with Timer1, the comparator
output is latched after the prescaling function. To
prevent a race condition, the comparator output is
latched on the falling edge of the Timer1 clock source
and Timer1 increments on the rising edge of its clock
source. Reference the comparator block diagrams
(Figure 8-2 and Figure 8-3) and the Timer1 Block
Diagram (Figure 6-1) for more information.

8.10 Comparator Voltage Reference
The Comparator Voltage Reference module provides
an internally generated voltage reference for the com-
parators. The following features are available:
Independent from Comparator operation
Two 16-level voltage ranges
Output clamped to VSS
Ratiometric with VDD
The VRCON register (Register 8-3) controls the
Voltage Reference module shown in Figure 8-8.
8.10.1 INDEPENDENT OPERATION
The comparator voltage reference is independent of
the comparator configuration. Setting the VREN bit of
the VRCON register will enable the voltage reference.
8.10.2 OUTPUT VOLTAGE SELECTION
The CVREF voltage reference has 2 ranges with 16
voltage levels in each range. Range selection is
controlled by the VRR bit of the VRCON register. The
16 levels are set with the VR<3:0> bits of the VRCON
register.
The CVREF output voltage is determined by the following
equations:
EQUATION 8-1: CVREF OUTPUT VOLTAGE
The full range of VSS to VDD cannot be realized due to
the construction of the module. See Figure 8-8.
8.10.3 OUTPUT CLAMPED TO VSS
The CVREF output voltage can be set to Vss with no
power consumption by configuring VRCON as follows:
•VREN=0
•VRR=1
•VR<3:0>=0000
This allows the comparator to detect a zero-crossing
while not consuming additional CVREF module current.
8.10.4 OUTPUT RATIOMETRIC TO VDD
The comparator voltage reference is VDD derived and
therefore, the CVREF output changes with fluctuations in
VDD. The tested absolute accuracy of the Comparator
Voltage Reference can be found in Section 19.0
“Electrical Specifications”.

9.0 ADDRESSABLE UNIVERSAL
SYNCHRONOUS
ASYNCHRONOUS RECEIVER
TRANSMITTER (AUSART)
The Addressable Universal Synchronous
Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter (AUSART)
module is a serial I/O communications peripheral. It
contains all the clock generators, shift registers and
data buffers necessary to perform an input or output
serial data transfer independent of device program
execution. The AUSART, also known as a Serial
Communications Interface (SCI), can be configured as
a full-duplex asynchronous system or half-duplex
synchronous system. Full-Duplex mode is useful for
communications with peripheral systems, such as CRT
terminals and personal computers. Half-Duplex
Synchronous mode is intended for communications
with peripheral devices, such as A/D or D/A integrated
circuits, serial EEPROMs or other microcontrollers.
These devices typically do not have internal clocks for
baud rate generation and require the external clock
signal provided by a master synchronous device.
The AUSART module includes the following capabilities:
Full-duplex asynchronous transmit and receive
Two-character input buffer
One-character output buffer
Programmable 8-bit or 9-bit character length
Address detection in 9-bit mode
Input buffer overrun error detection
Received character framing error detection
Half-duplex synchronous master
Half-duplex synchronous slave
Sleep operation
Block diagrams of the AUSART transmitter and
receiver are shown in Figure 9-1 and Figure 9-2.

9.1 AUSART Asynchronous Mode
The AUSART transmits and receives data using the
standard non-return-to-zero (NRZ) format. NRZ is
implemented with two levels: a VOH mark state which
represents a ‘1’ data bit, and a VOL space state which
represents a ‘0’ data bit. NRZ refers to the fact that
consecutively transmitted data bits of the same value
stay at the output level of that bit without returning to a
neutral level between each bit transmission. An NRZ
transmission port idles in the mark state. Each character
transmission consists of one Start bit followed by eight
or nine data bits and is always terminated by one or
more Stop bits. The Start bit is always a space and the
Stop bits are always marks. The most common data
format is 8 bits. Each transmitted bit persists for a period
of 1/(Baud Rate). An on-chip dedicated 8-bit Baud Rate
Generator is used to derive standard baud rate
frequencies from the system oscillator. See Table 9-5 for
examples of baud rate configurations.
The AUSART transmits and receives the LSb first. The
AUSART’s transmitter and receiver are functionally
independent, but share the same data format and baud
rate. Parity is not supported by the hardware, but can
be implemented in software and stored as the ninth
data bit.
9.1.1 AUSART ASYNCHRONOUS
TRANSMITTER
The AUSART transmitter block diagram is shown in
Figure 9-1. The heart of the transmitter is the serial
Transmit Shift Register (TSR), which is not directly
accessible by software. The TSR obtains its data from
the transmit buffer, which is the TXREG register.
9.1.1.1 Enabling the Transmitter
The AUSART transmitter is enabled for asynchronous
operations by configuring the following three control
bits:
•TXEN = 1
SYNC = 0
SPEN = 1
All other AUSART control bits are assumed to be in
their default state.
Setting the TXEN bit of the TXSTA register enables the
transmitter circuitry of the AUSART. Clearing the SYNC
bit of the TXSTA register configures the AUSART for
asynchronous operation. Setting the SPEN bit of the
RCSTA register enables the AUSART and automatically
configures the TX/CK I/O pin as an output.
The LCD SEG9 function must be disabled by clearing
the SE9 bit of the LCDSE1 register, if the TX/CK pin is
shared with the LCD peripheral.
9.1.1.2 Transmitting Data
A transmission is initiated by writing a character to the
TXREG register. If this is the first character, or the
previous character has been completely flushed from
the TSR, the data in the TXREG is immediately
transferred to the TSR register. If the TSR still contains
all or part of a previous character, the new character
data is held in the TXREG until the Stop bit of the
previous character has been transmitted. The pending
character in the TXREG is then transferred to the TSR
in one TCY immediately following the Stop bit
transmission. The transmission of the Start bit, data bits
and Stop bit sequence commences immediately
following the transfer of the data to the TSR from the
TXREG.
9.1.1.3 Transmit Interrupt Flag
The TXIF interrupt flag bit of the PIR1 register is set
whenever the AUSART transmitter is enabled and no
character is being held for transmission in the TXREG.
In other words, the TXIF bit is only clear when the TSR
is busy with a character and a new character has been
queued for transmission in the TXREG. The TXIF flag bit
is not cleared immediately upon writing TXREG. TXIF
becomes valid in the second instruction cycle following
the write execution. Polling TXIF immediately following
the TXREG write will return invalid results. The TXIF bit
is read-only, it cannot be set or cleared by software.
The TXIF interrupt can be enabled by setting the TXIE
interrupt enable bit of the PIE1 register. However, the
TXIF flag bit will be set whenever the TXREG is empty,
regardless of the state of TXIE enable bit.
To use interrupts when transmitting data, set the TXIE
bit only when there is more data to send. Clear the
TXIE interrupt enable bit upon writing the last character
of the transmission to the TXREG.
Note 1: When the SPEN bit is set the RX/DT I/O pin
is automatically configured as an input,
regardless of the state of the corresponding
TRIS bit and whether or not the AUSART
receiver is enabled. The RX/DT pin data
can be read via a normal PORT read but
PORT latch data output is precluded.
2: The TXIF transmitter interrupt flag is set
when the TXEN enable bit is set.

9.1.1.4 TSR Status
The TRMT bit of the TXSTA register indicates the
status of the TSR register. This is a read-only bit. The
TRMT bit is set when the TSR register is empty and is
cleared when a character is transferred to the TSR
register from the TXREG. The TRMT bit remains clear
until all bits have been shifted out of the TSR register.
No interrupt logic is tied to this bit, so the user has to
poll this bit to determine the TSR status.
9.1.1.5 Transmitting 9-Bit Characters
The AUSART supports 9-bit character transmissions.
When the TX9 bit of the TXSTA register is set the
AUSART will shift 9 bits out for each character transmit-
ted. The TX9D bit of the TXSTA register is the ninth,
and Most Significant, data bit. When transmitting 9-bit
data, the TX9D data bit must be written before writing
the 8 Least Significant bits into the TXREG. All nine bits
of data will be transferred to the TSR shift register
immediately after the TXREG is written.
A special 9-bit Address mode is available for use with
multiple receivers. See Section 9.1.2.7 “Address
Detection” for more information on the Address mode.
9.1.1.6 Asynchronous Transmission Set-up:
1. Initialize the SPBRG register and the BRGH bit to
achieve the desired baud rate (see Section 9.2
“AUSART Baud Rate Generator (BRG)”).
2. Enable the asynchronous serial port by clearing
the SYNC bit and setting the SPEN bit.
3. If 9-bit transmission is desired, set the TX9 con-
trol bit. A set ninth data bit will indicate that the 8
Least Significant data bits are an address when
the receiver is set for address detection.
4. Enable the transmission by setting the TXEN
control bit. This will cause the TXIF interrupt bit
to be set.
5. If interrupts are desired, set the TXIE interrupt
enable bit of the PIE1 register. An interrupt will
occur immediately provided that the GIE and
PEIE bits of the INTCON register are also set.
6. If 9-bit transmission is selected, the ninth bit
should be loaded into the TX9D data bit.
7. Load 8-bit data into the TXREG register. This
will start the transmission.

9.1.2 AUSART ASYNCHRONOUS
RECEIVER
The Asynchronous mode is typically used in RS-232
systems. The receiver block diagram is shown in
Figure 9-2. The data is received on the RX/DT pin and
drives the data recovery block. The data recovery block
is actually a high-speed shifter operating at 16 times
the baud rate, whereas the serial Receive Shift
Register (RSR) operates at the bit rate. When all 8 or 9
bits of the character have been shifted in, they are
immediately transferred to a two character First-In
First-Out (FIFO) memory. The FIFO buffering allows
reception of two complete characters and the start of a
third character before software must start servicing the
AUSART receiver. The FIFO and RSR registers are not
directly accessible by software. Access to the received
data is via the RCREG register.
9.1.2.1 Enabling the Receiver
The AUSART receiver is enabled for asynchronous
operation by configuring the following three control bits:
CREN = 1
SYNC = 0
SPEN = 1
All other AUSART control bits are assumed to be in
their default state.
Setting the CREN bit of the RCSTA register enables the
receiver circuitry of the AUSART. Clearing the SYNC bit
of the TXSTA register configures the AUSART for
asynchronous operation. Setting the SPEN bit of the
RCSTA register enables the AUSART and automatically
configures the RX/DT I/O pin as an input.
The LCD SEG8 function must be disabled by clearing
the SE8 bit of the LCDSE1 register, if the RX/DT pin is
shared with the LCD peripheral.
9.1.2.2 Receiving Data
The receiver data recovery circuit initiates character
reception on the falling edge of the first bit. The first bit,
also known as the Start bit, is always a zero. The data
recovery circuit counts one-half bit time to the center of
the Start bit and verifies that the bit is still a zero. If it is
not a zero then the data recovery circuit aborts
character reception, without generating an error, and
resumes looking for the falling edge of the Start bit. If
the Start bit zero verification succeeds then the data
recovery circuit counts a full bit time to the center of the
next bit. The bit is then sampled by a majority detect
circuit and the resulting ‘0’ or ‘1’ is shifted into the RSR.
This repeats until all data bits have been sampled and
shifted into the RSR. One final bit time is measured and
the level sampled. This is the Stop bit, which is always
a ‘1’. If the data recovery circuit samples a ‘0’ in the
Stop bit position then a framing error is set for this
character, otherwise the framing error is cleared for this
character. See Section 9.1.2.4 “Receive Framing
Error” for more information on framing errors.
Immediately after all data bits and the Stop bit have
been received, the character in the RSR is transferred
to the AUSART receive FIFO and the RCIF interrupt
flag bit of the PIR1 register is set. The top character in
the FIFO is transferred out of the FIFO by reading the
RCREG register.
9.1.2.3 Receive Interrupts
The RCIF interrupt flag bit of the PIR1 register is set
whenever the AUSART receiver is enabled and there is
an unread character in the receive FIFO. The RCIF
interrupt flag bit is read-only, it cannot be set or cleared
by software.
RCIF interrupts are enabled by setting all of the
following bits:
RCIE interrupt enable bit of the PIE1 register
PEIE peripheral interrupt enable bit of the
INTCON register
GIE global interrupt enable bit of the INTCON
register
The RCIF interrupt flag bit of the PIR1 register will be
set when there is an unread character in the FIFO,
regardless of the state of interrupt enable bits.
Note: When the SPEN bit is set the TX/CK I/O
pin is automatically configured as an
output, regardless of the state of the
corresponding TRIS bit and whether or not
the AUSART transmitter is enabled. The
PORT latch is disconnected from the
output driver so it is not possible to use the
TX/CK pin as a general purpose output.
Note: If the receive FIFO is overrun, no additional
characters will be received until the overrun
condition is cleared. See Section 9.1.2.5
“Receive Overrun Error” for more
information on overrun errors.
© 2007 Microchip Technology Inc. DS41250F-page 127
PIC16F913/914/916/917/946
9.1.2.4 Receive Framing Error
Each character in the receive FIFO buffer has a
corresponding framing error Status bit. A framing error
indicates that a Stop bit was not seen at the expected
time. The framing error status is accessed via the
FERR bit of the RCSTA register. The FERR bit
represents the status of the top unread character in the
receive FIFO. Therefore, the FERR bit must be read
before reading the RCREG.
The FERR bit is read-only and only applies to the top
unread character in the receive FIFO. A framing error
(FERR = 1) does not preclude reception of additional
characters. It is not necessary to clear the FERR bit.
Reading the next character from the FIFO buffer will
advance the FIFO to the next character and the next
corresponding framing error.
The FERR bit can be forced clear by clearing the SPEN
bit of the RCSTA register which resets the AUSART.
Clearing the CREN bit of the RCSTA register does not
affect the FERR bit. A framing error by itself does not
generate an interrupt.
9.1.2.5 Receive Overrun Error
The receive FIFO buffer can hold two characters. An
overrun error will be generated If a third character, in its
entirety, is received before the FIFO is accessed. When
this happens the OERR bit of the RCSTA register is set.
The characters already in the FIFO buffer can be read
but no additional characters will be received until the
error is cleared. The error must be cleared by either
clearing the CREN bit of the RCSTA register.
9.1.2.6 Receiving 9-bit Characters
The AUSART supports 9-bit character reception. When
the RX9 bit of the RCSTA register is set the AUSART
will shift 9 bits into the RSR for each character
received. The RX9D bit of the RCSTA register is the
ninth and Most Significant data bit of the top unread
character in the receive FIFO. When reading 9-bit data
from the receive FIFO buffer, the RX9D data bit must
be read before reading the 8 Least Significant bits from
the RCREG.
9.1.2.7 Address Detection
A special Address Detection mode is available for use
when multiple receivers share the same transmission
line, such as in RS-485 systems. Address detection is
enabled by setting the ADDEN bit of the RCSTA
register.
Address detection requires 9-bit character reception.
When address detection is enabled, only characters
with the ninth data bit set will be transferred to the
receive FIFO buffer, thereby setting the RCIF interrupt
bit of the PIR1 register. All other characters will be
ignored.
Upon receiving an address character, user software
determines if the address matches its own. Upon
address match, user software must disable address
detection by clearing the ADDEN bit before the next
Stop bit occurs. When user software detects the end of
the message, determined by the message protocol
used, software places the receiver back into the
Address Detection mode by setting the ADDEN bit.
Note: If all receive characters in the receive
FIFO have framing errors, repeated reads
of the RCREG will not clear the FERR bit.

9.1.2.8 Asynchronous Reception Set-up:
1. Initialize the SPBRG register and the BRGH bit
to achieve the desired baud rate (see
Section 9.2 “AUSART Baud Rate Generator
(BRG)”).
2. Enable the serial port by setting the SPEN bit.
The SYNC bit must be clear for asynchronous
operation.
3. If interrupts are desired, set the RCIE bit of the
PIE1 register and the GIE and PEIE bits of the
INTCON register.
4. If 9-bit reception is desired, set the RX9 bit.
5. Enable reception by setting the CREN bit.
6. The RCIF interrupt flag bit of the PIR1 register
will be set when a character is transferred from
the RSR to the receive buffer. An interrupt will be
generated if the RCIE bit of the PIE1 register
was also set.
7. Read the RCSTA register to get the error flags
and, if 9-bit data reception is enabled, the ninth
data bit.
8. Get the received 8 Least Significant data bits
from the receive buffer by reading the RCREG
register.
9. If an overrun occurred, clear the OERR flag by
clearing the CREN receiver enable bit.
9.1.2.9 9-bit Address Detection Mode Set-up
This mode would typically be used in RS-485 systems.
To set up an Asynchronous Reception with Address
Detect Enable:
1. Initialize the SPBRG register and the BRGH bit
to achieve the desired baud rate (see
Section 9.2 “AUSART Baud Rate Generator
(BRG)”).
2. Enable the serial port by setting the SPEN bit.
The SYNC bit must be clear for asynchronous
operation.
3. If interrupts are desired, set the RCIE bit of the
PIE1 register and the GIE and PEIE bits of the
INTCON register.
4. Enable 9-bit reception by setting the RX9 bit.
5. Enable address detection by setting the ADDEN
bit.
6. Enable reception by setting the CREN bit.
7. The RCIF interrupt flag bit of the PIR1 register
will be set when a character with the ninth bit set
is transferred from the RSR to the receive buffer.
An interrupt will be generated if the RCIE inter-
rupt enable bit of the PIE1 register was also set.
8. Read the RCSTA register to get the error flags.
The ninth data bit will always be set.
9. Get the received 8 Least Significant data bits
from the receive buffer by reading the RCREG
register. Software determines if this is the
device’s address.
10. If an overrun occurred, clear the OERR flag by
clearing the CREN receiver enable bit.
11. If the device has been addressed, clear the
ADDEN bit to allow all received data into the
receive buffer and generate interrupts.

9.2 AUSART Baud Rate Generator
(BRG)
The Baud Rate Generator (BRG) is an 8-bit timer that
is dedicated to the support of both the asynchronous
and synchronous AUSART operation.
The SPBRG register determines the period of the free
running baud rate timer. In Asynchronous mode the
multiplier of the baud rate period is determined by the
BRGH bit of the TXSTA register. In Synchronous mode,
the BRGH bit is ignored.
Table 9-3 contains the formulas for determining the
baud rate. Example 9-1 provides a sample calculation
for determining the baud rate and baud rate error.
Typical baud rates and error values for various
asynchronous modes have been computed for your
convenience and are shown in Table 9-3. It may be
advantageous to use the high baud rate (BRGH = 1), to
reduce the baud rate error.
Writing a new value to the SPBRG register causes the
BRG timer to be reset (or cleared). This ensures that
the BRG does not wait for a timer overflow before out-
putting the new baud rate.

9.3 AUSART Synchronous Mode
Synchronous serial communications are typically used
in systems with a single master and one or more
slaves. The master device contains the necessary cir-
cuitry for baud rate generation and supplies the clock
for all devices in the system. Slave devices can take
advantage of the master clock by eliminating the inter-
nal clock generation circuitry.
There are two signal lines in Synchronous mode: a bidi-
rectional data line and a clock line. Slaves use the
external clock supplied by the master to shift the serial
data into and out of their respective receive and trans-
mit shift registers. Since the data line is bidirectional,
synchronous operation is half-duplex only. Half-duplex
refers to the fact that master and slave devices can
receive and transmit data but not both simultaneously.
The AUSART can operate as either a master or slave
device.
Start and Stop bits are not used in synchronous
transmissions.
9.3.1 SYNCHRONOUS MASTER MODE
The following bits are used to configure the AUSART
for Synchronous Master operation:
SYNC = 1
CSRC = 1
SREN = 0 (for transmit); SREN = 1 (for receive)
CREN = 0 (for transmit); CREN = 1 (for receive)
SPEN = 1
Setting the SYNC bit of the TXSTA register configures
the device for synchronous operation. Setting the CSRC
bit of the TXSTA register configures the device as a
master. Clearing the SREN and CREN bits of the RCSTA
register ensures that the device is in the Transmit mode,
otherwise the device will be configured to receive. Setting
the SPEN bit of the RCSTA register enables the
AUSART.
The LCD SEG8 and SEG9 functions must be disabled
by clearing the SE8 and SE9 bits of the LCDSE1
register, if the RX/DT and TX/CK pins are shared with
the LCD peripheral.
9.3.1.1 Master Clock
Synchronous data transfers use a separate clock line,
which is synchronous with the data. A device config-
ured as a master transmits the clock on the TX/CK line.
The TX/CK pin output driver is automatically enabled
when the AUSART is configured for synchronous
transmit or receive operation. Serial data bits change
on the leading edge to ensure they are valid at the trail-
ing edge of each clock. One clock cycle is generated
for each data bit. Only as many clock cycles are gener-
ated as there are data bits.
9.3.1.2 Synchronous Master Transmission
Data is transferred out of the device on the RX/DT pin.
The RX/DT and TX/CK pin output drivers are automat-
ically enabled when the AUSART is configured for
synchronous master transmit operation.
A transmission is initiated by writing a character to the
TXREG register. If the TSR still contains all or part of a
previous character the new character data is held in the
TXREG until the last bit of the previous character has
been transmitted. If this is the first character, or the pre-
vious character has been completely flushed from the
TSR, the data in the TXREG is immediately transferred
to the TSR. The transmission of the character com-
mences immediately following the transfer of the data
to the TSR from the TXREG.
Each data bit changes on the leading edge of the
master clock and remains valid until the subsequent
leading clock edge.
9.3.1.3 Synchronous Master Transmission
Set-up:
1. Initialize the SPBRG register and the BRGH bit
to achieve the desired baud rate (see
Section 9.2 “AUSART Baud Rate Generator
(BRG)”).
2. Enable the synchronous master serial port by
setting bits SYNC, SPEN, and CSRC.
3. Disable Receive mode by clearing bits SREN
and CREN.
4. Enable Transmit mode by setting the TXEN bit.
5. If 9-bit transmission is desired, set the TX9 bit.
6. If interrupts are desired, set the TXIE bit of the
PIE1 register and the GIE and PEIE bits of the
INTCON register.
7. If 9-bit transmission is selected, the ninth bit
should be loaded in the TX9D bit.
8. Start transmission by loading data to the TXREG
register.
Note: The TSR register is not mapped in data
memory, so it is not available to the user.

9.3.1.4 Synchronous Master Reception
Data is received at the RX/DT pin. The RX/DT pin
output driver is automatically disabled when the
AUSART is configured for synchronous master receive
operation.
In Synchronous mode, reception is enabled by setting
either the Single Receive Enable bit (SREN of the
RCSTA register) or the Continuous Receive Enable bit
(CREN of the RCSTA register).
When SREN is set and CREN is clear, only as many
clock cycles are generated as there are data bits in a
single character. The SREN bit is automatically cleared
at the completion of one character. When CREN is set,
clocks are continuously generated until CREN is
cleared. If CREN is cleared in the middle of a character
the CK clock stops immediately and the partial charac-
ter is discarded. If SREN and CREN are both set, then
SREN is cleared at the completion of the first character
and CREN takes precedence.
To initiate reception, set either SREN or CREN. Data is
sampled at the RX/DT pin on the trailing edge of the
TX/CK clock pin and is shifted into the Receive Shift
Register (RSR). When a complete character is
received into the RSR, the RCIF bit of the PIR1 register
is set and the character is automatically transferred to
the two character receive FIFO. The Least Significant
eight bits of the top character in the receive FIFO are
available in RCREG. The RCIF bit remains set as long
as there are un-read characters in the receive FIFO.
9.3.1.5 Slave Clock
Synchronous data transfers use a separate clock line,
which is synchronous with the data. A device configured
as a slave receives the clock on the TX/CK line. The
TX/CK pin output driver is automatically disabled when
the device is configured for synchronous slave transmit
or receive operation. Serial data bits change on the
leading edge to ensure they are valid at the trailing edge
of each clock. One data bit is transferred for each clock
cycle. Only as many clock cycles should be received as
there are data bits.
9.3.1.6 Receive Overrun Error
The receive FIFO buffer can hold two characters. An
overrun error will be generated if a third character, in its
entirety, is received before RCREG is read to access
the FIFO. When this happens the OERR bit of the
RCSTA register is set. Previous data in the FIFO will
not be overwritten. The two characters in the FIFO
buffer can be read, however, no additional characters
will be received until the error is cleared. The OERR bit
can only be cleared by clearing the overrun condition.
If the overrun error occurred when the SREN bit is set
and CREN is clear then the error is cleared by reading
RCREG. If the overrun occurred when the CREN bit is
set then the error condition is cleared by either clearing
the CREN bit of the RCSTA register.
9.3.1.7 Receiving 9-bit Characters
The AUSART supports 9-bit character reception. When
the RX9 bit of the RCSTA register is set the AUSART
will shift 9-bits into the RSR for each character
received. The RX9D bit of the RCSTA register is the
ninth, and Most Significant, data bit of the top unread
character in the receive FIFO. When reading 9-bit data
from the receive FIFO buffer, the RX9D data bit must
be read before reading the 8 Least Significant bits from
the RCREG.
Address detection in Synchronous modes is not
supported, therefore the ADDEN bit of the RCSTA
register must be cleared.
9.3.1.8 Synchronous Master Reception
Set-up:
1. Initialize the SPBRG register for the appropriate
baud rate. Set or clear the BRGH bit, as
required, to achieve the desired baud rate.
2. Enable the synchronous master serial port by
setting bits SYNC, SPEN and CSRC.
3. Ensure bits CREN and SREN are clear.
4. If interrupts are desired, set the RCIE bit of the
PIE1 register and the GIE and PEIE bits of the
INTCON register.
5. If 9-bit reception is desired, set bit RX9.
6. Verify address detection is disabled by clearing
the ADDEN bit of the RCSTA register.
7. Start reception by setting the SREN bit or for
continuous reception, set the CREN bit.
8. Interrupt flag bit RCIF of the PIR1 register will be
set when reception of a character is complete.
An interrupt will be generated if the RCIE inter-
rupt enable bit of the PIE1 register was set.
9. Read the RCSTA register to get the ninth bit (if
enabled) and determine if any error occurred
during reception.
10. Read the 8-bit received data by reading the
RCREG register.
11. If an overrun error occurs, clear the error by
either clearing the CREN bit of the RCSTA
register or by clearing the SPEN bit which resets
the AUSART.

9.3.2 SYNCHRONOUS SLAVE MODE
The following bits are used to configure the AUSART
for Synchronous slave operation:
SYNC = 1
CSRC = 0
SREN = 0 (for transmit); SREN = 1 (for receive)
CREN = 0 (for transmit); CREN = 1 (for receive)
SPEN = 1
Setting the SYNC bit of the TXSTA register configures the
device for synchronous operation. Clearing the CSRC bit
of the TXSTA register configures the device as a slave.
Clearing the SREN and CREN bits of the RCSTA register
ensures that the device is in the Transmit mode,
otherwise the device will be configured to receive. Setting
the SPEN bit of the RCSTA register enables the
AUSART.
The LCD SEG8 and SEG9 functions must be disabled
by clearing the SE8 and SE9 bits of the LCDSE1
register, if the RX/DT and TX/CK pins are shared with
the LCD peripheral.
9.3.2.1 AUSART Synchronous Slave
Transmit
The operation of the Synchronous Master and Slave
modes are identical (see Section 9.3.1.2 “Synchronous
Master Transmission”), except in the case of the Sleep
mode.
If two words are written to the TXREG and then the
SLEEP instruction is executed, the following will occur:
1. The first character will immediately transfer to
the TSR register and transmit.
2. The second word will remain in TXREG register.
3. The TXIF bit will not be set.
4. After the first character has been shifted out of
TSR, the TXREG register will transfer the second
character to the TSR and the TXIF bit will now be
set.
5. If the PEIE and TXIE bits are set, the interrupt
will wake the device from Sleep and execute the
next instruction. If the GIE bit is also set, the
program will call the Interrupt Service Routine.
9.3.2.2 Synchronous Slave Transmission
Set-up:
1. Set the SYNC and SPEN bits and clear the
CSRC bit.
2. Clear the CREN and SREN bits.
3. If using interrupts, ensure that the GIE and PEIE
bits of the INTCON register are set and set the
TXIE bit.
4. If 9-bit transmission is desired, set the TX9 bit.
5. Enable transmission by setting the TXEN bit.
6. Verify address detection is disabled by clearing
the ADDEN bit of the RCSTA register.
7. If 9-bit transmission is selected, insert the Most
Significant bit into the TX9D bit.
8. Start transmission by writing the Least
Significant 8 bits to the TXREG register.

9.3.2.3 AUSART Synchronous Slave
Reception
The operation of the Synchronous Master and Slave
modes is identical (Section 9.3.1.4 “Synchronous
Master Reception”), with the following exceptions:
Sleep
CREN bit is always set, therefore the receiver is
never Idle
SREN bit, which is a “don't care” in Slave mode
A character may be received while in Sleep mode by
setting the CREN bit prior to entering Sleep. Once the
word is received, the RSR register will transfer the data
to the RCREG register. If the RCIE interrupt enable bit
of the PIE1 register is set, the interrupt generated will
wake the device from Sleep and execute the next
instruction. If the GIE bit is also set, the program will
branch to the interrupt vector.
9.3.2.4 Synchronous Slave Reception
Set-up:
1. Set the SYNC and SPEN bits and clear the
CSRC bit.
2. If interrupts are desired, set the RCIE bit of the
PIE1 register and the GIE and PEIE bits of the
INTCON register.
3. If 9-bit reception is desired, set the RX9 bit.
4. Verify address detection is disabled by clearing
the ADDEN bit of the RCSTA register.
5. Set the CREN bit to enable reception.
6. The RCIF bit of the PIR1 register will be set
when reception is complete. An interrupt will be
generated if the RCIE bit of the PIE1 register
was set.
7. If 9-bit mode is enabled, retrieve the Most
Significant bit from the RX9D bit of the RCSTA
register.
8. Retrieve the 8 Least Significant bits from the
receive FIFO by reading the RCREG register.
9. If an overrun error occurs, clear the error by
either clearing the CREN bit of the RCSTA
register.

9.4 AUSART Operation During Sleep
The AUSART will remain active during Sleep only in the
Synchronous Slave mode. All other modes require the
system clock and therefore cannot generate the neces-
sary signals to run the Transmit or Receive Shift regis-
ters during Sleep.
Synchronous Slave mode uses an externally generated
clock to run the Transmit and Receive Shift registers.
9.4.1 SYNCHRONOUS RECEIVE DURING
SLEEP
To receive during Sleep, all the following conditions
must be met before entering Sleep mode:
RCSTA and TXSTA Control registers must be
configured for Synchronous Slave Reception (see
Section 9.3.2.4 “Synchronous Slave
Reception Set-up:”).
If interrupts are desired, set the RCIE bit of the
PIE1 register and the PEIE bit of the INTCON
register.
The RCIF interrupt flag must be cleared by read-
ing RCREG to unload any pending characters in
the receive buffer.
Upon entering Sleep mode, the device will be ready to
accept data and clocks on the RX/DT and TX/CK pins,
respectively. When the data word has been completely
clocked in by the external device, the RCIF interrupt
flag bit of the PIR1 register will be set. Thereby, waking
the processor from Sleep.
Upon waking from Sleep, the instruction following the
SLEEP instruction will be executed. If the GIE global
interrupt enable bit of the INTCON register is also set,
then the Interrupt Service Routine at address 004h will
be called.
9.4.2 SYNCHRONOUS TRANSMIT
DURING SLEEP
To transmit during Sleep, all the following conditions
must be met before entering Sleep mode:
RCSTA and TXSTA Control registers must be
configured for Synchronous Slave Transmission
(see Section 9.3.2.2 “Synchronous Slave
Transmission Set-up:”).
The TXIF interrupt flag must be cleared by writing
the output data to the TXREG, thereby filling the
TSR and transmit buffer.
If interrupts are desired, set the TXIE bit of the
PIE1 register and the PEIE bit of the INTCON
register.
Upon entering Sleep mode, the device will be ready to
accept clocks on TX/CK pin and transmit data on the
RX/DT pin. When the data word in the TSR has been
completely clocked out by the external device, the
pending byte in the TXREG will transfer to the TSR and
the TXIF flag will be set. Thereby, waking the processor
from Sleep. At this point, the TXREG is available to
accept another character for transmission, which will
clear the TXIF flag.
Upon waking from Sleep, the instruction following the
SLEEP instruction will be executed. If the GIE global
interrupt enable bit is also set then the Interrupt Service
Routine at address 0004h will be called.

10.0 LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY
(LCD) DRIVER MODULE
The Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) driver module
generates the timing control to drive a static or
multiplexed LCD panel. In the PIC16F913/916 devices,
the module drives the panels of up to four commons
and up to 16 segments. In the PIC16F914/917 devices,
the module drives the panels of up to four commons
and up to 24 segments. In the PIC16F946 device, the
module drives the panels of up to four commons and up
to 42 segments. The LCD module 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 four commons:
- Static (1 common)
- 1/2 multiplex (2 commons)
- 1/3 multiplex (3 commons)

10.1 LCD Registers
The module contains the following registers:
LCD Control Register (LCDCON)
LCD Phase Register (LCDPS)
Up to 6 LCD Segment Enable Registers (LCDSEn)
Up to 24 LCD Data Registers (LCDDATA)
TABLE 10-1: LCD SEGMENT AND DATA
REGISTERS
The LCDCON register (Register 10-1) controls the
operation of the LCD driver module. The LCDPS
register (Register 10-2) configures the LCD clock
source prescaler and the type of waveform; Type-A or
Type-B. The LCDSE registers (Register 10-3)
configure the functions of the port pins.
The following LCDSE registers are available:
LCDSE0 SE<7:0>
LCDSE1 SE<15:8>
LCDSE2 SE<23:16>(1)
LCDSE3 SE<31:24>(2)
LCDSE4 SE<39:32>(2)
LCDSE5 SE<41:40>(2)
Once the module is initialized for the LCD panel, the
individual bits of the LCDDATA<11:0> registers are
cleared/set to represent a clear/dark pixel, respectively:
LCDDATA0 SEG<7:0>COM0
LCDDATA1 SEG<15:8>COM0
LCDDATA2 SEG<23:16>COM0
LCDDATA3 SEG<7:0>COM1

LCDDATA8 SEG<23:16>COM2
LCDDATA9 SEG<7:0>COM3
LCDDATA10 SEG<15:8>COM3
LCDDATA11 SEG<23:16>COM3
The following additional registers are available on the
PIC16F946 only:
LCDDATA12 SEG<31:24>COM0
LCDDATA13 SEG<39:32>COM0
LCDDATA14 SEG<41:40>COM0
LCDDATA15 SEG<31:24>COM1

LCDDATA20 SEG<41:40>COM2
LCDDATA21 SEG<31:24>COM3
LCDDATA22 SEG<39:32>COM3
LCDDATA23 SEG<41:40>COM3
As an example, LCDDATAx is detailed in
Register 10-4.
Once the module is configured, the LCDEN bit of the
LCDCON register is used to enable or disable the LCD
module. The LCD panel can also operate during Sleep
by clearing the SLPEN bit of the LCDCON register.
Note: COM3 and SEG15 share the same
physical pin on the PIC16F913/916,
therefore SEG15 is not available when
using 1/4 multiplex displays.

10.2 LCD Clock Source Selection
The LCD driver module has 3 possible clock sources:
•F
OSC/8192
•T1OSC/32
LFINTOSC/32
The first clock source is the system clock divided by
8192 (FOSC/8192). This divider ratio is chosen to
provide about 1 kHz output when the system clock is
8 MHz. The divider is not programmable. Instead, the
LCD prescaler bits LP<3:0> of the LCDPS register are
used to set the LCD frame clock rate.
The second clock source is the T1OSC/32. This also
gives about 1 kHz when a 32.768 kHz crystal is used
with the Timer1 oscillator. To use the Timer1 oscillator
as a clock source, the T1OSCEN bit of the T1CON
register should be set.
The third clock source is the 31 kHz LFINTOSC/32,
which 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.
Using bits CS<1:0> of the LCDCON register can select
any of these clock sources.
10.2.1 LCD PRESCALER
A 4-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 of the LCDPS register,
which determine the prescaler assignment and prescale
ratio.
The prescale values are selectable from 1:1 through
1:16.
10.3 LCD Bias Types
The LCD driver module can be configured into one of
three bias types:
Static Bias (2 voltage levels: VSS and VDD)
1/2 Bias (3 voltage levels: VSS, 1/2 VDD and VDD)
1/3 Bias (4 voltage levels: VSS, 1/3 VDD, 2/3 VDD
and VDD)
This module uses an external resistor ladder to
generate the LCD bias voltages.
The external resistor ladder should be connected to the
VLCD1 pin (Bias 1), VLCD2 pin (Bias 2), VLCD3 pin
(Bias 3) and VSS. The VLCD3 pin should also be
connected to VDD.
Figure 10-2 shows the proper way to connect the
resistor ladder to the Bias pins..
FIGURE 10-2: LCD BIAS RESISTOR LADDER CONNECTION DIAGRAM
Note: VLCD pins used to supply LCD bias voltage
are enabled on power-up (POR) and must
be disabled by the user by clearing the
VLCDEN bit of the LCDCON register.

10.4 LCD Multiplex Types
The LCD driver module can be configured into one of
four multiplex types:
Static (only COM0 is used)
1/2 multiplex (COM<1:0> are used)
1/3 multiplex (COM<2:0> are used)
1/4 multiplex (COM<3:0> are used)
The LMUX<1:0> bit setting of the LCDCON register
decides the function of RB5, RA2 or either RA3 or RD0
pins (see Table 10-2 for details).
If the pin is a digital I/O, the corresponding TRIS bit
controls the data direction. If the pin is a COM drive,
then the TRIS setting of that pin is overridden.
TABLE 10-2: RA3/RD0, RA2, RB5
FUNCTION
10.5 Segment Enables
The LCDSEn 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
as one of the pin’s alternate functions. To configure the
pin as a segment pin, the corresponding bits in the
LCDSEn registers must be set to1’.
If the pin is a digital I/O, the corresponding TRIS bit
controls the data direction. Any bit set in the LCDSEn
registers overrides any bit settings in the corresponding
TRIS register.
10.6 Pixel Control
The LCDDATAx registers contain bits which define the
state of each pixel. Each bit defines one unique pixel.
Register 10-4 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.
10.7 LCD Frame Frequency
The rate at which the COM and SEG outputs change is
called the LCD frame frequency.

10.8 LCD Waveform Generation
LCD waveforms are generated so 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
component and it 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
represents the maximum contrast that the display can
have.
The LCDs can be driven by two types of waveform:
Type-A and Type-B. In Type-A waveform, the phase
changes within each common type, whereas in Type-B
waveform, the phase changes on each frame
boundary. Thus, Type-A waveform maintains 0 VDC
over a single frame, whereas Type-B waveform takes
two frames.
Figure 10-6 through Figure 10-16 provide waveforms
for static, half-multiplex, one-third-multiplex and
quarter-multiplex drives for Type-A and Type-B
waveforms.
FIGURE 10-6: TYPE-A/TYPE-B WAVEFORMS IN STATIC DRIVE
Note 1: If Sleep has to be executed with LCD
Sleep disabled (LCDCON<SLPEN> is
1’), then care must be taken to execute
Sleep only when VDC on all the pixels is
0’.
2: When the LCD clock source is FOSC/8192,
if Sleep is executed, irrespective of the
LCDCON<SLPEN> setting, the LCD goes
into Sleep. Thus, take care to see that VDC
on all pixels is ‘0’ when Sleep is executed.

10.9 LCD Interrupts
The LCD timing generation provides an interrupt that
defines the LCD frame timing.
A new frame is defined to begin at the leading edge of
the COM0 common signal. The interrupt will be set
immediately after the LCD controller completes access-
ing all pixel data required for a frame. This will occur at
a fixed interval before the frame boundary (TFINT), as
shown in Figure 10-17. The LCD controller will begin to
access data for the next frame within the interval from
the interrupt to when the controller begins to access
data after the interrupt (TFWR). New data must be writ-
ten 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 waveforms
and the LMUX<1:0> bits are not equal to ‘00’ (static
drive), there are some additional issues that must be
addressed. Since the DC voltage on the pixel takes two
frames to maintain zero volts, 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 generated in the even frames and a DC
component would be introduced into the panel.
Therefore, when using Type-B waveforms, the user
must synchronize the LCD pixel updates to occur within
a subframe after the frame interrupt.
To correctly sequence writing while in Type-B, the
interrupt will only occur on complete phase intervals. If
the user attempts to write when the write is disabled,
the WERR bit of the LCDCON register is set and the
write does not occur.
FIGURE 10-17: WAVEFORMS AND INTERRUPT TIMING IN QUARTER-DUTY CYCLE DRIVE
(EXAMPLE – TYPE-B, NON-STATIC)
Note: The interrupt is not generated when the
Type-A waveform is selected and when the
Type-B with no multiplex (static) is
selected.

10.10 Operation During Sleep
The LCD module can operate during Sleep. The
selection is controlled by bit SLPEN of the LCDCON
register. 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
voltage on both segment and common lines.
Figure 10-18 shows this operation.
To ensure that no DC component is introduced on the
panel, the SLEEP instruction should be executed
immediately after a LCD frame boundary. For Type-B
multiplex (non-static), the LCD interrupt can be used to
determine the frame boundary. See Section 10.9
“LCD Interrupts” for the formulas to calculate the
delay. In all other modes, the LCDA bit can be used to
determine when the display is active. To use this
method, the following sequence should be used when
wanting to enter into Sleep mode:
Clear LCDEN
Wait for LCDA to clear
Drive all LCD pins to inactive state using PORT
and TRIS registers
Execute SLEEP instruction
If a SLEEP instruction is executed and SLPEN = 0, the
module will continue to display the current contents of
the LCDDATA registers. To allow the module to
continue operation while in Sleep, the clock source
must be either the LFINTOSC or T1OSC external
oscillator. While in Sleep, the LCD data cannot be
changed. The LCD module current consumption will
not decrease in this mode; however, the overall
consumption of the device will be lower due to shut
down of the core and other peripheral functions.
Table 10-5 shows the status of the LCD module during
a Sleep while using each of the three available clock
sources:
TABLE 10-5: LCD MODULE STATUS
DURING SLEEP
If LCD interrupts are being generated (Type-B wave-
form with a multiplex mode not static) and LCDIE = 1,
the device will awaken from Sleep on the next frame
boundary.
Note: When the LCDEN bit is cleared, the LCD
module will be disabled at the completion
of frame. At this time, the PORT pins will
revert to digital functionality. To minimize
power consumption due to floating digital
inputs, the LCD pins should be driven low
using the PORT and TRIS registers.

10.11 Configuring the LCD Module
The following is the sequence of steps to configure the
LCD module.
1. Select the frame clock prescale using bits
LP<3:0> of the LCDPS register.
2. Configure the appropriate pins to function as
segment drivers using the LCDSEn registers.
3. Configure the LCD module for the following
using the LCDCON register:
- Multiplex and Bias mode, bits LMUX<1:0>
- Timing source, bits CS<1:0>
- Sleep mode, bit SLPEN
4. Write initial values to pixel data registers,
LCDDATA0 through LCDDATA11 (LCDDATA23
on PIC16F946).
5. Clear LCD Interrupt Flag, LCDIF bit of the PIR2
register and if desired, enable the interrupt by
setting bit LCDIE of the PIE2 register.
6. Enable bias voltage pins (VLCD<3:1>) by
setting bit VLCDEN of the LCDCON register.
7. Enable the LCD module by setting bit LCDEN of
the LCDCON register.
10.12 Disabling the LCD Module
To disable the LCD module, write all ‘0s to the
LCDCON register.
10.13 LCD Current Consumption
When using the LCD module the current consumption
consists of the following three factors:
1. The oscillator selected
2. The LCD bias source
3. The current required to charge the LCD
segments
The current consumption of just the LCD module can
be considered negligible compared to these other
factors.
The oscillator selected:
For LCD operation during Sleep either the T1oc or the
LFINTOSC sources need to be used as the main
system oscillator may be disabled during Sleep. During
Sleep the LFINTOSC current consumption is given by
electrical parameter D021, where the LFINTOSC use
the same internal oscillator circuitry as the Watchdog
Timer.
The LCD bias source:
The LCD bias source, typically an external resistor
ladder which will have its own current draw.
The current required to charge the LCD segments:
The LCD segments which can be modeled as capaci-
tors which must be both charged and discharged every
frame. The size of the LCD segment and its technology
determines the segment’s capacitance.

11.0 PROGRAMMABLE
LOW-VOLTAGE DETECT
(PLVD) MODULE
The Programmable Low-Voltage Detect (PLVD)
module is a power supply detector which monitors the
internal power supply. This module is typically used in
key fobs and other devices, where certain actions
need to be taken as a result of a falling battery voltage.
The PLVD module includes the following capabilities:
Eight programmable trip points
Interrupt on falling VDD
Stable reference indication
Operation during Sleep
A Block diagram of the PLVD module is shown in
Figure 11-1.

11.1 PLVD Operation
To setup the PLVD for operation, the following steps
must be taken:
Enable the module by setting the LVDEN bit of the
LVDCON register.
Configure the trip point by setting the LVDL<2:0>
bits of the LVDCON register.
Wait for the reference voltage to become stable.
Refer to Section 11.4 “Stable Reference
Indication”.
Clear the LVDIF bit of the PIR2 register.
The LVDIF bit will be set when VDD falls below the
PLVD trip point. The LVDIF bit remains set until cleared
by software. Refer to Figure 11-2.
11.2 Programmable Trip Point
The PLVD trip point is selectable from one of eight
voltage levels. The LVDL bits of the LVDCON register
select the trip point. Refer to Register 11-1 for the
available PLVD trip points.
11.3 Interrupt on Falling VDD
When VDD falls below the PLVD trip point, the falling
edge detector will set the LVDIF bit. See Figure 11-2.
An interrupt will be generated if the following bits are
also set:
GIE and PEIE bits of the INTCON register
LVDIE bit of the PIE2 register
The LVDIF bit must be cleared by software. An interrupt
can be generated from a simulated PLVD event when
the LVDIF bit is set by software.
11.4 Stable Reference Indication
When the PLVD module is enabled, the reference volt-
age must be allowed to stabilize before the PLVD will
provide a valid result. Refer to Section 19.0 “Electri-
cal Specifications”, Table 19-13, for the stabilization
time.
When the HFINTOSC is running, the IRVST bit of the
LVDCON register indicates the stability of the voltage
reference. The voltage reference is stable when the
IRVST bit is set.
11.5 Operation During Sleep
To wake from Sleep, set the LVDIE bit of the PIE2
register and the PEIE bit of the INTCON register. When
the LVDIE and PEIE bits are set, the device will wake
from Sleep and execute the next instruction. If the GIE
bit is also set, the program will call the Interrupt Service
Routine upon completion of the first instruction after
waking from Sleep.

12.0 ANALOG-TO-DIGITAL
CONVERTER (ADC) MODULE
The Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) allows
conversion of an analog input signal to a 10-bit binary
representation of that signal. This device uses analog
inputs, which are multiplexed into a single sample and
hold circuit. The output of the sample and hold is
connected to the input of the converter. The converter
generates a 10-bit binary result via successive
approximation and stores the conversion result into the
ADC result registers (ADRESL and ADRESH).
The ADC voltage reference is software selectable to be
either internally generated or externally supplied.
The ADC can generate an interrupt upon completion of
a conversion. This interrupt can be used to wake-up the
device from Sleep.
Figure 12-1 shows the block diagram of the ADC.

12.1 ADC Configuration
When configuring and using the ADC the following
functions must be considered:
Port configuration
Channel selection
ADC voltage reference selection
ADC conversion clock source
Interrupt control
Results formatting
12.1.1 PORT CONFIGURATION
The ADC can be used to convert both analog and digital
signals. When converting analog signals, the I/O pin
should be configured for analog by setting the associated
TRIS and ANSEL bits. See the corresponding Port
section for more information.
12.1.2 CHANNEL SELECTION
The CHS bits of the ADCON0 register determine which
channel is connected to the sample and hold circuit.
When changing channels, a delay is required before
starting the next conversion. Refer to Section 12.2
“ADC Operation” for more information.
12.1.3 ADC VOLTAGE REFERENCE
The VCFG bits of the ADCON0 register provide
independent control of the positive and negative
voltage references. The positive voltage reference can
be either VDD or an external voltage source. Likewise,
the negative voltage reference can be either VSS or an
external voltage source.
12.1.4 CONVERSION CLOCK
The source of the conversion clock is software select-
able via the ADCS bits of the ADCON1 register. There
are seven possible clock options:
•F
OSC/2
•FOSC/4
•F
OSC/8
•F
OSC/16
•FOSC/32
•F
OSC/64
•FRC (dedicated internal oscillator)
The time to complete one bit conversion is defined as
T
AD. One full 10-bit conversion requires 11 TAD periods
as shown in Figure 12-3.
For correct conversion, the appropriate TAD specification
must be met. See A/D conversion requirements in
Section 19.0 “Electrical Specifications” for more
information. Table 12-1 gives examples of appropriate
ADC clock selections.
Note: Analog voltages on any pin that is defined
as a digital input may cause the input
buffer to conduct excess current.
Note: Unless using the FRC, any changes in the
system clock frequency will change the
ADC clock frequency, which may
adversely affect the ADC result.

FIGURE 12-2: ANALOG-TO-DIGITAL CONVERSION TAD CYCLES
12.1.5 INTERRUPTS
The ADC module allows for the ability to generate an
interrupt upon completion of an Analog-to-Digital
conversion. The ADC interrupt flag is the ADIF bit in the
PIR1 register. The ADC interrupt enable is the ADIE bit
in the PIE1 register. The ADIF bit must be cleared in
software.
This interrupt can be generated while the device is
operating or while in Sleep. If the device is in Sleep, the
interrupt will wake-up the device. Upon waking from
Sleep, the next instruction following the SLEEP
instruction is always executed. If the user is attempting
to wake-up from Sleep and resume in-line code
execution, the global interrupt must be disabled. If the
global interrupt is enabled, execution will switch to the
Interrupt Service Routine.
Please see Section 12.1.5 “Interrupts” for more
information.

Note 1: The FRC source has a typical TAD time of 4 μs for VDD > 3.0V.
2: These values violate the minimum required TAD time.
3: For faster conversion times, the selection of another clock source is recommended.
4: When the device frequency is greater than 1 MHz, the FRC clock source is only recommended if the
conversion will be performed during Sleep.

12.1.6 RESULT FORMATTING
The 10-bit A/D conversion result can be supplied in two
formats, left justified or right justified. The ADFM bit of
the ADCON0 register controls the output format.
Figure 12-4 shows the two output formats.
FIGURE 12-3: 10-BIT A/D CONVERSION RESULT FORMAT
12.2 ADC Operation
12.2.1 STARTING A CONVERSION
To enable the ADC module, the ADON bit of the
ADCON0 register must be set to a ‘1’. Setting the
GO/DONE bit of the ADCON0 register to a ‘1’ will start
the Analog-to-Digital conversion.
12.2.2 COMPLETION OF A CONVERSION
When the conversion is complete, the ADC module will:
Clear the GO/DONE bit
Set the ADIF flag bit
Update the ADRESH:ADRESL registers with new
conversion result
12.2.3 TERMINATING A CONVERSION
If a conversion must be terminated before completion,
the GO/DONE bit can be cleared in software. The
ADRESH:ADRESL registers will not be updated with the
partially complete Analog-to-Digital conversion sample.
Instead, the ADRESH:ADRESL register pair will retain
the value of the previous conversion. Additionally, a
2T
AD delay is required before another acquisition can be
initiated. Following this delay, an input acquisition is
automatically started on the selected channel.
12.2.4 ADC OPERATION DURING SLEEP
The ADC module can operate during Sleep. This
requires the ADC clock source to be set to the FRC
option. When the FRC clock source is selected, the
ADC waits one additional instruction before starting the
conversion. This allows the SLEEP instruction to be
executed, which can reduce system noise during the
conversion. If the ADC interrupt is enabled, the device
will wake-up from Sleep when the conversion
completes. If the ADC interrupt is disabled, the ADC
module is turned off after the conversion completes,
although the ADON bit remains set.
When the ADC clock source is something other than
FRC, a SLEEP instruction causes the present conver-
sion to be aborted and the ADC module is turned off,
although the ADON bit remains set.
12.2.5 SPECIAL EVENT TRIGGER
The CCP Special Event Trigger allows periodic ADC
measurements without software intervention. When
this trigger occurs, the GO/DONE bit is set by hardware
and the Timer1 counter resets to zero.
Using the Special Event Trigger does not assure proper
ADC timing. It is the user’s responsibility to ensure that
the ADC timing requirements are met.
See Section 15.0 “Capture/Compare/PWM (CCP)
Module” for more information.

Note: A device Reset forces all registers to their
Reset state. Thus, the ADC module is
turned off and any pending conversion is
terminated.

12.3 A/D Acquisition Requirements
For the ADC to meet its specified accuracy, the charge
holding capacitor (CHOLD) must be allowed to fully
charge to the input channel voltage level. The Analog
Input model is shown in Figure 12-4. The source
impedance (RS) and the internal sampling switch (RSS)
impedance directly affect the time required to charge the
capacitor CHOLD. The sampling switch (RSS) impedance
varies over the device voltage (VDD), see Figure 12-4.
The maximum recommended impedance for analog
sources is 10 kΩ. As the source impedance is
decreased, the acquisition time may be decreased.
After the analog input channel is selected (or changed),
an A/D acquisition must be done before the conversion
can be started. To calculate the minimum acquisition
time, Equation 12-1 may be used. This equation
assumes that 1/2 LSb error is used (1024 steps for the
ADC). The 1/2 LSb error is the maximum error allowed
for the ADC to meet its specified resolution.

3: The maximum recommended impedance for analog sources is 10 kΩ. This is required to meet the pin
leakage specification.

13.0 DATA EEPROM AND FLASH
PROGRAM MEMORY
CONTROL
Data EEPROM memory is readable and writable and
the Flash program memory is readable during normal
operation (full VDD range). These memories are not
directly mapped in the register file space. Instead, they
are indirectly addressed through the Special Function
Registers. There are six SFRs used to access these
memories:
EECON1
EECON2
EEDATL
EEDATH
EEADRL
EEADRH
When interfacing the data memory block, EEDATL
holds the 8-bit data for read/write, and EEADRL holds
the address of the EE data location being accessed.
This device has 256 bytes of data EEPROM with an
address range from 00h to FFh.
When interfacing the program memory block, the
EEDATL and EEDATH registers form a 2-byte word
that holds the 14-bit data for read, and the EEADRL
and EEADRH registers form a 2-byte word that holds
the 13-bit address of the EEPROM location being
accessed. This family of devices has 4K and 8K words
of program Flash with an address range from
0h-0FFFh and 0h-1FFFh. The program memory allows
one word reads.
The EEPROM data memory allows byte read and write.
A byte write automatically erases the location and
writes the new data (erase before write).
The write time is controlled by an on-chip timer. The
write/erase voltages are generated by an on-chip
charge pump rated to operate over the voltage range of
the device for byte or word operations.
When the device is code-protected, the CPU may
continue to read and write the data EEPROM memory
and read the program memory. When code-protected,
the device programmer can no longer access data or
program memory.
13.1 EEADRL and EEADRH Registers
The EEADRL and EEADRH registers can address up
to a maximum of 256 bytes of data EEPROM or up to a
maximum of 8K words of program Flash.
When selecting a program address value, the MSB of
the address is written to the EEADRH register and the
LSB is written to the EEADRL register. When selecting
a data address value, only the LSB of the address is
written to the EEADRL register.
13.1.1 EECON1 AND EECON2 REGISTERS
EECON1 is the control register for EE memory
accesses.
Control bit EEPGD determines if the access will be a
program or data memory access. When clear, as it is
when reset, any subsequent operations will operate on
the data memory. When set, any subsequent operations
will operate on the program memory. Program memory
can only be read.
Control bits RD and WR initiate read and write,
respectively. These bits cannot be cleared, only set, in
software. They are cleared in hardware at completion
of the read or write operation. The inability to clear the
WR bit in software prevents the accidental, premature
termination of a write operation.
The WREN bit, when set, will allow a write operation to
data EEPROM. On power-up, the WREN bit is clear.
The WRERR bit is set when a write operation is inter-
rupted by a MCLR or a WDT Time-out Reset during
normal operation. In these situations, following Reset,
the user can check the WRERR bit. The Data and
Address registers will be cleared on the Reset. User
code can then run an appropriate recovery routine.
Interrupt flag bit EEIF of the PIR1 register is set when
write is complete. It must be cleared in the software.
EECON2 is not a physical register. Reading EECON2
will read all ‘0’s. The EECON2 register is used
exclusively in the data EEPROM write sequence.

13.1.2 READING THE DATA EEPROM
MEMORY
To read a data memory location, the user must write the
address to the EEADRL register, clear the EEPGD
control bit, and then set control bit RD of the EECON1
register. The data is available in the very next cycle, in
the EEDATL register; therefore, it can be read in the
next instruction. EEDATL will hold this value until
another read or until it is written to by the user (during
a write operation).
EXAMPLE 13-1: DATA EEPROM READ
13.1.3 WRITING TO THE DATA EEPROM
MEMORY
To write an EEPROM data location, the user must first
write the address to the EEADRL register and the data
to the EEDATL register. Then the user must follow a
specific sequence to initiate the write for each byte.
The write will not initiate if the sequence described below
is not followed exactly (write 55h to EECON2, write AAh
to EECON2, then set WR bit) for each byte. Interrupts
should be disabled during this code segment.
Additionally, the WREN bit in EECON1 must be set to
enable write. This mechanism prevents accidental
writes to data EEPROM due to errant (unexpected)
code execution (i.e., lost programs). The user should
keep the WREN bit clear at all times, except when
updating EEPROM. The WREN bit is not cleared
by hardware.
After a write sequence has been initiated, clearing the
WREN bit will not affect this write cycle. The WR bit will
be inhibited from being set unless the WREN bit is set.
At the completion of the write cycle, the WR bit is
cleared in hardware and the EE Write Complete
Interrupt Flag bit (EEIF) is set. The user can either
enable this interrupt or poll this bit. EEIF must be
cleared by software.
The steps to write to EEPROM data memory are:
1. If step 10 is not implemented, check the WR bit
to see if a write is in progress.
2. Write the address to EEADRL. Make sure that
the address is not larger than the memory size
of the device.
3. Write the 8-bit data value to be programmed in
the EEDATL register.
4. Clear the EEPGD bit to point to EEPROM data
memory.
5. Set the WREN bit to enable program operations.
6. Disable interrupts (if enabled).
7. Execute the special five instruction sequence:
Write 55h to EECON2 in two steps (first to W,
then to EECON2)
Write AAh to EECON2 in two steps (first to
W, then to EECON2)
Set the WR bit
8. Enable interrupts (if using interrupts).
9. Clear the WREN bit to disable program
operations.
10. At the completion of the write cycle, the WR bit
is cleared and the EEIF interrupt flag bit is set.
(EEIF must be cleared by firmware.) If step 1 is
not implemented, then firmware should check
for EEIF to be set, or WR to clear, to indicate the
end of the program cycle.

13.1.4 READING THE FLASH PROGRAM
MEMORY
To read a program memory location, the user must
write two bytes of the address to the EEADRL and
EEADRH registers, set the EEPGD control bit, and
then set control bit RD of the EECON1 register. Once
the read control bit is set, the program memory Flash
controller will use the second instruction cycle to read
the data. This causes the second instruction immedi-
ately following the “BSF EECON1,RD instruction to be
ignored. The data is available in the very next cycle, in
the EEDATL and EEDATH registers; therefore, it can
be read as two bytes in the following instructions.
EEDATL and EEDATH registers will hold this value until
another read or until it is written to by the user (during
a write operation).
EXAMPLE 13-3: FLASH PROGRAM READ
Note 1: The two instructions following a program
memory read are required to be NOP’s.
This prevents the user from executing a
two-cycle instruction on the next
instruction after the RD bit is set.
2: If the WR bit is set when EEPGD = 1, the
WR bit will be immediately reset to ‘0’ and
no operation will take place.

14.0 SSP MODULE OVERVIEW
The Synchronous Serial Port (SSP) module is a serial
interface used to communicate with other peripheral or
microcontroller devices. These peripheral devices
may be serial EEPROMs, shift registers, display
drivers, A/D converters, etc. The SSP module can
operate in one of two modes:
Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI)
Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C)
Refer to Application Note AN578, “Use of the SSP
Module in the Multi-Master Environment” (DS00578).
14.1 SPI Mode
This section contains register definitions and operational
characteristics of the SPI module.
The SPI mode allows 8 bits of data to be synchronously
transmitted and received simultaneously. To accomplish
communication, typically three pins are used:
Serial Data Out (SDO)
Serial Data In (SDI)
Serial Clock (SCK)
Additionally, a fourth pin may be used when in a Slave
mode of operation:
Slave Select (SS)
FIGURE 14-1: SSP BLOCK DIAGRAM
(SPI MODE)
Note 1: When the SPI is in Slave mode with SS
pin control enabled (SSPM<3:0> bits of
the SSPCON register = 0100), the SPI
module will reset if the SS pin is set to
VDD.
2: If the SPI is used in Slave mode with
CKE = 1, then the SS pin control must be
enabled.
3: When the SPI is in Slave mode with SS
pin control enabled (SSPM<3:0> bits of
the SSPCON register = 0100), the state
of the SS pin can affect the state read
back from the TRISC<4> bit. The
peripheral OE signal from the SSP
module into PORTC controls the state
that is read back from the TRISC<4> bit
(see Section 19.0 “Electrical
Specifications” for information on
PORTC). If read-write-modify
instructions, such as BSF, are performed
on the TRISC register while the SS pin is
high, this will cause the TRISC<4> bit to
be set, thus disabling the SDO output.

14.2 Operation
When initializing the SPI, several options need to be
specified. This is done by programming the appropriate
control bits (SSPCON<5:0> and SSPSTAT<7:6>).
These control bits allow the following to be specified:
Master mode (SCK is the clock output)
Slave mode (SCK is the clock input)
Clock Polarity (Idle state of SCK)
Data Input Sample Phase (middle or end of data
output time)
Clock Edge (output data on rising/falling edge of
SCK)
Clock Rate (Master mode only)
Slave Select mode (Slave mode only)
The SSP consists of a transmit/receive shift register
(SSPSR) and a buffer register (SSPBUF). The SSPSR
shifts the data in and out of the device, MSb first. The
SSPBUF holds the data that was written to the SSPSR
until the received data is ready. Once the eight bits of
data have been received, that byte is moved to the
SSPBUF register. Then, the Buffer Full Status bit BF of
the SSPSTAT register, and the interrupt flag bit SSPIF,
are set. Any write to the SSPBUF register during
transmission/reception of data will be ignored and the
Write Collision Detect bit, WCOL of the SSPCON
register, will be set. User software must clear the
WCOL bit so that it can be determined if the following
write(s) to the SSPBUF register completed
successfully.
When the application software is expecting to receive
valid data, the SSPBUF should be read before the next
byte of data to transfer is written to the SSPBUF. Buffer
Full bit BF of the SSPSTAT register indicates when
SSPBUF has been loaded with the received data
(transmission is complete). When the SSPBUF is read,
the BF bit is cleared. This data may be irrelevant if the
SPI is only a transmitter. Generally, the SSP interrupt is
used to determine when the transmission/reception
has completed. The SSPBUF must be read and/or
written. If the interrupt method is not going to be used,
then software polling can be done to ensure that a write
collision does not occur. Example 14-1 shows the
loading of the SSPBUF (SSPSR) for data transmission.
The SSPSR is not directly readable or writable and can
only be accessed by addressing the SSPBUF register.
Additionally, the SSP STATUS register (SSPSTAT)
indicates the various status conditions.

14.3 Enabling SPI I/O
To enable the serial port, SSP Enable bit SSPEN of the
SSPCON register must be set. To reset or reconfigure
SPI mode, clear the SSPEN bit, re-initialize the
SSPCON registers and then set the SSPEN bit. This
configures the SDI, SDO, SCK and SS pins as serial
port pins. For the pins to behave as the serial port
function, their data direction bits (in the TRISA and
TRISC registers) should be set as follows:
TRISC<7> bit must be set
SDI is automatically controlled by the SPI module
SDO must have TRISC<4> bit cleared
SCK (Master mode) must have TRISC<6> bit
cleared
SCK (Slave mode) must have TRISC<6> bit set
If enabled, SS must have TRISA<5> bit set
Any serial port function that is not desired may be
overridden by programming the corresponding data
direction (TRISA and TRISC) registers to the opposite
value.
14.4 Typical Connection
Figure 14-2 shows a typical connection between two
microcontrollers. The master controller (Processor 1)
initiates the data transfer by sending the SCK signal.
Data is shifted out of both shift registers on their
programmed 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 data Slave sends dummy data
Master sends data Slave sends data
Master sends dummy data Slave sends data

14.5 Master Mode
The master can initiate the data transfer at any time
because it controls the SCK. The master determines
when the slave (Processor 2, Figure 14-2) is to
broadcast data by the software protocol.
In Master mode, the data is transmitted/received as
soon as the SSPBUF register is written to. If the SPI is
only going to receive, the SDO output could be
disabled (programmed as an input). The SSPSR
register will continue to shift in the signal present on the
SDI pin at the programmed clock rate. As each byte is
received, it will be loaded into the SSPBUF register as
if a normal received byte (interrupts and Status bits
appropriately set). This could be useful in receiver
applications as a Line Activity Monitor mode.
The clock polarity is selected by appropriately
programming the CKP bit of the SSPCON register. This
then, would give waveforms for SPI communication as
shown in Figure 14-3, Figure 14-5 and Figure 14-6,
where the MSB is transmitted first. In Master mode, the
SPI clock rate (bit rate) is user programmable to be one
of the following:
•F
OSC/4 (or TCY)
•FOSC/16 (or 4 • TCY)
•F
OSC/64 (or 16 • TCY)
Timer2 output/2
This allows a maximum data rate (at 20 MHz) of
5 Mbps.
Figure 14-3 shows the waveforms for Master mode.
When the CKE bit is set, the SDO data is valid before
there is a clock edge on SCK. The change of the input
sample is shown based on the state of the SMP bit. The
time when the SSPBUF is loaded with the received
data is shown.

14.6 Slave Mode
In Slave mode, the data is transmitted and received as
the external clock pulses appear on SCK. When the
last bit is latched, the SSPIF interrupt flag bit is set.
While in Slave mode, the external clock is supplied by
the external clock source on the SCK pin. This external
clock must meet the minimum high and low times as
specified in the electrical specifications.
While in Sleep mode, the slave can transmit/receive
data. When a byte is received, the device will wake-up
from Sleep.
14.7 Slave Select Synchronization
The SS pin allows a Synchronous Slave mode. The SPI
must be in Slave mode with SS pin control enabled
(SSPCON<3:0> = 0100). The pin must not be driven
low for the SS pin to function as an input. The data latch
must be high. When the SS pin is low, transmission and
reception are enabled and the SDO pin is driven. When
the SS pin goes high, the SDO pin is no longer driven,
even if in the middle of a transmitted byte, and becomes
a floating output. External pull-up/pull-down resistors
may be desirable, depending on the application.
When the SPI module resets, the bit counter is forced
to 0. This can be done by either forcing the SS pin to a
high level or clearing the SSPEN bit.
To emulate two-wire communication, the SDO pin can
be connected to the SDI pin. When the SPI needs to
operate as a receiver, the SDO pin can be configured
as an input. This disables transmissions from the SDO.
The SDI can always be left as an input (SDI function)
since it cannot create a bus conflict.
FIGURE 14-4: SLAVE SYNCHRONIZATION WAVEFORM
Note 1: When the SPI is in Slave mode with SS
pin control enabled (SSPCON<3:0> =
0100), the SPI module will reset if the SS
pin is set to VDD.
2: If the SPI is used in Slave Mode with CKE
set, then the SS pin control must be
enabled.

14.8 Sleep Operation
In Master mode, all module clocks are halted and the
transmission/reception will remain in that state until the
device wakes from Sleep. After the device returns to
Normal mode, the module will continue to
transmit/receive data.
In Slave mode, the SPI Transmit/Receive Shift register
operates asynchronously to the device. This allows the
device to be placed in Sleep mode and data to be
shifted into the SPI Transmit/Receive Shift register.
When all 8 bits have been received, the SSP interrupt
flag bit will be set and if enabled, will wake the device
from Sleep.
14.9 Effects of a Reset
A Reset disables the SSP module and terminates the
current transfer.

standard SPI modes and the states of the CKP and

14.11 SSP I2C Operation
The SSP module in I2C mode, fully implements all slave
functions, except general call support, and provides
interrupts on Start and Stop bits in hardware to facilitate
firmware implementations of the master functions. The
SSP module implements the Standard mode
specifications, as well as 7-bit and 10-bit addressing.
Two pins are used for data transfer. These are the
RC6/TX/CK/SCK/SCL/SEG9 pin, which is the clock
(SCL), and the RC7/RX/DT/SDI/SDA/SEG8 pin, which
is the data (SDA).
The SSP module functions are enabled by setting SSP
enable bit SSPEN (SSPCON<5>).
FIGURE 14-7: SSP BLOCK DIAGRAM
(I2C™ MODE)
The SSP module has five registers for the I2C operation,
which are listed below.
SSP Control register (SSPCON)
SSP STATUS register (SSPSTAT)
Serial Receive/Transmit Buffer (SSPBUF)
SSP Shift register (SSPSR) – Not directly
accessible
SSP Address register (SSPADD)
The SSPCON register allows control of the I2C
operation. Four mode selection bits (SSPCON<3:0>)
allow one of the following I2C modes to be selected:
•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 to support Firmware
Master mode
•I
2C Slave mode (10-bit address), with Start and
Stop bit interrupts enabled to support Firmware
Master mode
•I
2C Start and Stop bit interrupts enabled to
support Firmware Master mode; Slave is idle
Selection of any I2C mode with the SSPEN bit set
forces the SCL and SDA pins to be open drain,
provided these pins are programmed to inputs by
setting the appropriate TRISC bits. Pull-up resistors
must be provided externally to the SCL and SDA pins
for proper operation of the I2C module.
14.12 Slave Mode
In Slave mode, the SCL and SDA pins must be
configured as inputs (TRISC<7,6> are set). The SSP
module will override the input state with the output data
when required (slave-transmitter).
When an address is matched, or the data transfer after
an address match is received, the hardware
automatically will generate the Acknowledge (ACK)
pulse, and then load the SSPBUF register with the
received value currently in the SSPSR register.
There are certain conditions that will cause the SSP
module not to give this ACK pulse. They include (either
or both):
a) The Buffer Full bit BF of the SSPSTAT register
was set before the transfer was received.
b) The overflow bit SSPOV of the SSPCON
register was set before the transfer was
received.
In this case, the SSPSR register value is not loaded
into the SSPBUF, but bit SSPIF of the PIR1 register is
set. Table 14-3 shows the results of when a data
transfer byte is received, given the status of bits BF and
SSPOV. The shaded cells show the condition where
user software did not properly clear the overflow
condition. Flag bit BF is cleared by reading the
SSPBUF register, while bit SSPOV is cleared through
software.
The SCL clock input must have a minimum high and low
for proper operation. For high and low times of the I2C
specification, as well as the requirements of the SSP
module, see Section 19.0 “Electrical Specifications”.

14.12.1 ADDRESSING
Once the SSP module has been enabled, it waits for a
Start condition to occur. Following the Start condition,
the 8-bits are shifted into the SSPSR register. All
incoming bits are sampled with the rising edge of the
clock (SCL) line. The value of register SSPSR<7:1> is
compared to the value of register SSPADD <7:1>. The
address is compared on the falling edge of the eighth
clock (SCL) pulse. If the addresses match, and the BF
and SSPOV bits are clear, the following events occur:
a) The SSPSR register value is loaded into the
SSPBUF register.
b) The buffer full bit, BF is set.
c) An ACK pulse is generated.
d) SSP interrupt flag bit, SSPIF of the PIR1 register
is set (interrupt is generated if enabled) on the
falling edge of the ninth SCL pulse.
In 10-bit Address mode, two address bytes need to be
received by the slave (Figure 14-8). The five Most
Significant bits (MSbs) of the first address byte specify
if this is a 10-bit address. Bit R/W (SSPSTAT<2>) must
specify a write so the slave device will receive the
second address byte. For a 10-bit address, the first
byte would equal1111 0 A9 A8 0’, where A9 and
A8 are the two MSbs of the address.
The sequence of events for 10-bit address is as
follows, with steps 7-9 for slave-transmitter:
1. Receive first (high) byte of address (bits SSPIF,
BF and bit UA (SSPSTAT<1>) are set).
2. Update the SSPADD register with second (low)
byte of address (clears bit UA and releases the
SCL line).
3. Read the SSPBUF register (clears bit BF) and
clear flag bit SSPIF.
4. Receive second (low) byte of address (bits
SSPIF, BF and UA are set).
5. Update the SSPADD register with the first (high)
byte of address; if match releases SCL line, this
will clear bit UA.
6. Read the SSPBUF register (clears bit BF) and
clear flag bit SSPIF.
7. Receive repeated Start condition.
8. Receive first (high) byte of address (bits SSPIF
and BF are set).
9. Read the SSPBUF register (clears bit BF) and
clear flag bit SSPIF.

14.12.2 RECEPTION
When the R/W bit of the address byte is clear and an
address match occurs, the R/W bit of the SSPSTAT
register is cleared. The received address is loaded into
the SSPBUF register.
When the address byte overflow condition exists, then
no Acknowledge (ACK) pulse is given. An overflow
condition is defined as either bit BF of the SSPSTAT
register is set, or bit SSPOV of the SSPCON register is
set. This is an error condition due to the user’s firm-
ware.
An SSP interrupt is generated for each data transfer
byte. Flag bit SSPIF of the PIR1 register must be
cleared in software. The SSPSTAT register is used to
determine the status of the byte.

14.12.3 TRANSMISSION
When the R/W bit of the incoming address byte is set
and an address match occurs, the R/W bit of the
SSPSTAT register is set. The received address is
loaded into the SSPBUF register. The ACK pulse will
be sent on the ninth bit, and pin
RC6/TX/CK/SCK/SCL/SEG9 is held low. The transmit
data must be loaded into the SSPBUF register, which
also loads the SSPSR register. Then, pin
RC6/TX/CK/SCK/SCL/SEG9 should be enabled by
setting bit CKP of the SSPCON register. The master
must monitor the SCL pin prior to asserting another
clock pulse. The slave devices may be holding off the
master by stretching the clock. The eight data bits are
shifted out on the falling edge of the SCL input. This
ensures that the SDA signal is valid during the SCL high
time (Figure 14-10).
An SSP interrupt is generated for each data transfer
byte. Flag bit SSPIF must be cleared in software, and
the SSPSTAT register is used to determine the status
of the byte. Flag bit SSPIF is set on the falling edge of
the ninth clock pulse.
As a slave-transmitter, the ACK pulse from the master
receiver is latched on the rising edge of the ninth SCL
input pulse. If the SDA line was high (not ACK), then
the data transfer is complete. When the ACK is latched
by the slave, the slave logic is reset (resets SSPSTAT
register) and the slave then monitors for another
occurrence of the Start bit. If the SDA line was low
(ACK), the transmit data must be loaded into the
SSPBUF register, which also loads the SSPSR
register. Then pin RC6/TX/CK/SCK/SCL/SEG9 should
be enabled by setting bit CKP.

14.13 Master Mode
Master mode of operation is supported in firmware
using interrupt generation on the detection of the Start
and Stop conditions. The Stop (P) and Start (S) bits are
cleared from a Reset or when the SSP module is
disabled. The Stop (P) and Start (S) bits will toggle
based on the Start and Stop conditions. Control of the
I2C bus may be taken when the P bit is set or the bus
is idle and both the S and P bits are clear.
In Master mode, the SCL and SDA lines are
manipulated by clearing the corresponding
TRISC<7,6> bit(s). The output level is always low,
irrespective of the value(s) in PORTC<7,6>. So when
transmitting data, a ‘1’ data bit must have the
TRISC<6> bit set (input) and a ‘0 data bit must have
the TRISC<7> bit cleared (output). The same scenario
is true for the SCL line with the TRISC<6> bit. Pull-up
resistors must be provided externally to the SCL and
SDA pins for proper operation of the I2C module.
The following events will cause the SSP Interrupt Flag
bit, SSPIF, to be set (SSP Interrupt will occur if
enabled):
Start condition
Stop condition
Data transfer byte transmitted/received
Master mode of operation can be done with either the
Slave mode idle (SSPM<3:0> = 1011), or with the
Slave active. When both Master and Slave modes are
enabled, the software needs to differentiate the
source(s) of the interrupt.
14.14 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 SSP
module is disabled. The Stop (P) and Start (S) bits will
toggle based on the Start and Stop conditions. Control
of the I2C bus may be taken when bit P (SSPSTAT<4>)
is set, or the bus is idle and both the S and P bits clear.
When the bus is busy, enabling the SSP Interrupt will
generate the interrupt when the Stop condition occurs.
In Multi-Master operation, the SDA line must be
monitored to see if the signal level is the expected
output level. This check only needs to be done when a
high level is output. If a high level is expected and a low
level is present, the device needs to release the SDA
and SCL lines (set TRISC<7,6>). There are two stages
where this arbitration can be lost, these are:
Address Transfer
Data Transfer
When the slave logic is enabled, the slave continues to
receive. If arbitration was lost during the address
transfer stage, communication to the device may be in
progress. If addressed, an ACK pulse will be generated.
If arbitration was lost during the data transfer stage, the
device will need to re-transfer the data at a later time.
14.14.1 CLOCK SYNCHRONIZATION AND
THE CKP BIT
When the CKP bit is cleared, the SCL output is forced
to ‘0’; however, setting the CKP bit will not assert the
SCL output low until the SCL output is already sampled
low. Therefore, the CKP bit will not assert the SCL line
until an external I2C master device has already
asserted the SCL line. The SCL output will remain low
until the CKP bit is set and all other devices on the I2C
bus have deasserted SCL. This ensures that a write to
the CKP bit will not violate the minimum high time
requirement for SCL (see Figure 14-12).

15.0 CAPTURE/COMPARE/PWM
(CCP) MODULE
The Capture/Compare/PWM module is a peripheral
which allows the user to time and control different
events. In Capture mode, the peripheral allows the
timing of the duration of an event. The Compare mode
allows the user to trigger an external event when a
predetermined amount of time has expired. The PWM
mode can generate a Pulse-Width Modulated signal of
varying frequency and duty cycle.
The timer resources used by the module are shown in
Table 15-1.
Additional information on CCP modules is available in
the Application Note AN594, “Using the CCP Modules”
(DS00594).

15.1 Capture Mode
In Capture mode, CCPRxH:CCPRxL captures the
16-bit value of the TMR1 register when an event occurs
on pin CCPx. An event is defined as one of the
following and is configured by the CCPxM<3:0> bits of
the CCPxCON register:
Every falling edge
Every rising edge
Every 4th rising edge
Every 16th rising edge
When a capture is made, the Interrupt Request Flag bit
CCPxIF of the PIRx register is set. The interrupt flag
must be cleared in software. If another capture occurs
before the value in the CCPRxH, CCPRxL register pair
is read, the old captured value is overwritten by the new
captured value (see Figure 15-1).
15.1.1 CCPx PIN CONFIGURATION
In Capture mode, the CCPx pin should be configured
as an input by setting the associated TRIS control bit.
FIGURE 15-1: CAPTURE MODE
OPERATION BLOCK
DIAGRAM
15.1.2 TIMER1 MODE SELECTION
Timer1 must be running in Timer mode or Synchronized
Counter mode for the CCP module to use the capture
feature. In Asynchronous Counter mode, the capture
operation may not work.
15.1.3 SOFTWARE INTERRUPT
When the Capture mode is changed, a false capture
interrupt may be generated. The user should keep the
CCPxIE interrupt enable bit of the PIEx register clear to
avoid false interrupts. Additionally, the user should
clear the CCPxIF interrupt flag bit of the PIRx register
following any change in operating mode.
15.1.4 CCP PRESCALER
There are four prescaler settings specified by the
CCPxM<3:0> bits of the CCPxCON register. Whenever
the CCP module is turned off, or the CCP module is not
in Capture mode, the prescaler counter is cleared. Any
Reset will clear the prescaler counter.
Switching from one capture prescaler to another does not
clear the prescaler and may generate a false interrupt. To
avoid this unexpected operation, turn the module off by
clearing the CCPxCON register before changing the
prescaler (see Example 15-1).

15.2 Compare Mode
In Compare mode, the 16-bit CCPRx register value is
constantly compared against the TMR1 register pair
value. When a match occurs, the CCPx module may:
Toggle the CCPx output.
Set the CCPx output.
Clear the CCPx output.
Generate a Special Event Trigger.
Generate a Software Interrupt.
The action on the pin is based on the value of the
CCPxM<3:0> control bits of the CCPxCON register.
All Compare modes can generate an interrupt.

OPERATION BLOCK
DIAGRAM
15.2.1 CCPx PIN CONFIGURATION
The user must configure the CCPx pin as an output by
clearing the associated TRIS bit.
15.2.2 TIMER1 MODE SELECTION
In Compare mode, Timer1 must be running in either
Timer mode or Synchronized Counter mode. The
compare operation may not work in Asynchronous
Counter mode.
15.2.3 SOFTWARE INTERRUPT MODE
When Generate Software Interrupt mode is chosen
(CCPxM<3:0> = 1010), the CCPx module does not
assert control of the CCPx pin (see the CCPxCON
register).
15.2.4 SPECIAL EVENT TRIGGER
When Special Event Trigger mode is chosen
(CCPxM<3:0> = 1011), the CCPx module does the
following:
Resets Timer1
Starts an ADC conversion if ADC is enabled
The CCPx module does not assert control of the CCPx
pin in this mode (see the CCPxCON register).
The Special Event Trigger output of the CCP occurs
immediately upon a match between the TMR1H,
TMR1L register pair and the CCPRxH, CCPRxL
register pair. The TMR1H, TMR1L register pair is not
reset until the next rising edge of the Timer1 clock. This
allows the CCPRxH, CCPRxL register pair to
effectively provide a 16-bit programmable period
register for Timer1.
Note: Clearing the CCPxCON register will force
the CCPx compare output latch to the
default low level. This is not the PORT I/O
data latch.

PIC16F913/914/916/917/946
15.3 PWM Mode
The PWM mode generates a Pulse-Width Modulated
signal on the CCPx pin. The duty cycle, period and
resolution are determined by the following registers:
•PR2
•T2CON
CCPRxL
CCPxCON
In Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) mode, the CCP
module produces up to a 10-bit resolution PWM output
on the CCPx pin. Since the CCPx pin is multiplexed
with the PORT data latch, the TRIS for that pin must be
cleared to enable the CCPx pin output driver.
Figure 15-3 shows a simplified block diagram of PWM
operation.
Figure 15-4 shows a typical waveform of the PWM
signal.
For a step-by-step procedure on how to set up the CCP
module for PWM operation, see Section 15.3.7
“Setup for PWM Operation”.
FIGURE 15-3: SIMPLIFIED PWM BLOCK
DIAGRAM
The PWM output (Figure 15-2) has a time base
(period) and a time that the output stays high (duty
cycle).

15.3.1 PWM PERIOD
The PWM period is specified by the PR2 register of
Timer2. The PWM period can be calculated using the
formula of Equation 15-1.
EQUATION 15-1: PWM PERIOD
When TMR2 is equal to PR2, the following three events
occur on the next increment cycle:
TMR2 is cleared
The CCPx pin is set. (Exception: If the PWM duty
cycle = 0%, the pin will not be set.)
The PWM duty cycle is latched from CCPRxL into
CCPRxH.
15.3.2 PWM DUTY CYCLE
The PWM duty cycle is specified by writing a 10-bit value
to multiple registers: CCPRxL register and CCPx<1:0>
bits of the CCPxCON register. The CCPRxL contains
the eight MSbs and the CCPx<1:0> bits of the
CCPxCON register contain the two LSbs. CCPRxL and
CCPx<1:0> bits of the CCPxCON register can be written
to at any time. The duty cycle value is not latched into
CCPRxH until after the period completes (i.e., a match
between PR2 and TMR2 registers occurs). While using
the PWM, the CCPRxH register is read-only.
Equation 15-2 is used to calculate the PWM pulse
width.
Equation 15-3 is used to calculate the PWM duty cycle
ratio.
EQUATION 15-2: PULSE WIDTH
EQUATION 15-3: DUTY CYCLE RATIO
The CCPRxH register and a 2-bit internal latch are
used to double buffer the PWM duty cycle. This double
buffering is essential for glitchless PWM operation.
The 8-bit timer TMR2 register is concatenated with
either the 2-bit internal system clock (FOSC), or 2 bits of
the prescaler, to create the 10-bit time base. The system
clock is used if the Timer2 prescaler is set to 1:1.
When the 10-bit time base matches the CCPRxH and
2-bit latch, then the CCPx pin is cleared (see
Figure 15-3).
Note: The Timer2 postscaler (see Section 7.1
“Timer2 Operation”) is not used in the
determination of the PWM frequency.

15.3.3 PWM RESOLUTION
The resolution determines the number of available duty
cycles for a given period. For example, a 10-bit resolution
will result in 1024 discrete duty cycles, whereas an 8-bit
resolution will result in 256 discrete duty cycles.
The maximum PWM resolution is 10 bits when PR2 is
255. The resolution is a function of the PR2 register
value as shown by Equation 15-4.

15.3.4 OPERATION IN SLEEP MODE
In Sleep mode, the TMR2 register will not increment
and the state of the module will not change. If the CCPx
pin is driving a value, it will continue to drive that value.
When the device wakes up, TMR2 will continue from its
previous state.
15.3.5 CHANGES IN SYSTEM CLOCK
FREQUENCY
The PWM frequency is derived from the system clock
frequency. Any changes in the system clock frequency
will result in changes to the PWM frequency. See
Section 4.0 “Oscillator Module (With Fail-Safe
Clock Monitor)” for additional details.
15.3.6 EFFECTS OF RESET
Any Reset will force all ports to Input mode and the
CCP registers to their Reset states.
15.3.7 SETUP FOR PWM OPERATION
The following steps should be taken when configuring
the CCP module for PWM operation:
1. Disable the PWM pin (CCPx) output drivers by
setting the associated TRIS bit.
2. Set the PWM period by loading the PR2 register.
3. Configure the CCP module for the PWM mode
by loading the CCPxCON register with the
appropriate values.
4. Set the PWM duty cycle by loading the CCPRxL
register and CCPx bits of the CCPxCON register.
5. Configure and start Timer2:
Clear the TMR2IF interrupt flag bit of the
PIR1 register.
Set the Timer2 prescale value by loading the
T2CKPS bits of the T2CON register.
Enable Timer2 by setting the TMR2ON bit of
the T2CON register.
6. Enable PWM output after a new PWM cycle has
started:
Wait until Timer2 overflows (TMR2IF bit of
the PIR1 register is set).
Enable the CCPx pin output driver by
clearing the associated TRIS bit.

16.0 SPECIAL FEATURES OF THE
CPU
The PIC16F91X/946 has a host of features intended to
maximize system reliability, minimize cost through
elimination of external components, provide
power-saving features and offer code protection.
These features are:
Reset
- Power-on Reset (POR)
- Power-up Timer (PWRT)
- Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST)
- Brown-out Reset (BOR)
Interrupts
Watchdog Timer (WDT)
Oscillator Selection
Sleep
Code Protection
ID Locations
In-Circuit Serial Programming™
The PIC16F91X/946 has two timers that offer
necessary delays on power-up. One is the Oscillator
Start-up Timer (OST), intended to keep the chip in
Reset until the crystal oscillator is stable. The other is
the Power-up Timer (PWRT), which provides a fixed
delay of 64 ms (nominal) on power-up only, designed
to keep the part in Reset while the power supply
stabilizes. There is also circuitry to reset the device if
a brown-out occurs, which can use the Power-up
Timer to provide at least a 64 ms Reset. With these
three functions-on-chip, most applications need no
external Reset circuitry.
The Sleep mode is designed to offer a very low-current
Power-down mode. The user can wake-up from Sleep
through:
•External Reset
Watchdog Timer Wake-up
An interrupt
Several oscillator options are also made available to
allow the part to fit the application. The INTOSC option
saves system cost, while the LP crystal option saves
power. A set of Configuration bits are used to select
various options (see Register 16-1).

16.1 Configuration Bits
The Configuration bits can be programmed (read as
0’), or left unprogrammed (read as ‘1’) to select various
device configurations as shown in Register 16-1.
These bits are mapped in program memory location
2007h.
Note: Address 2007h is beyond the user
program memory space. It belongs to the
special configuration memory space
(2000h-3FFFh), which can be accessed
only during programming. See
PIC16F91X/946 Memory Programming
Specification” (DS41244) for more
information.

PIC16F913/914/916/917/946
16.2 Resets
The PIC16F91X/946 differentiates between various
kinds of Reset:
a) Power-on Reset (POR)
b) WDT Reset during normal operation
c) WDT Reset during Sleep
d) MCLR Reset during normal operation
e) MCLR Reset during Sleep
f) Brown-out Reset (BOR)
Some registers are not affected in any Reset condition;
their status is unknown on POR and unchanged in any
other Reset. Most other registers are reset to a “Reset
state” on:
Power-on Reset
•MCLR
Reset
•MCLR Reset during Sleep
•WDT Reset
Brown-out Reset (BOR)
They are not affected by a WDT wake-up since this is
viewed as the resumption of normal operation. TO and
PD bits are set or cleared differently in different Reset
situations, as indicated in Table 16-2. These bits are
used in software to determine the nature of the Reset.
See Table 16-5 for a full description of Reset states of
all registers.
A simplified block diagram of the On-Chip Reset Circuit
is shown in Figure 16-1.
The MCLR Reset path has a noise filter to detect and
ignore small pulses. See Section 19.0 “Electrical
Specifications” for pulse width specifications.

16.2.1 POWER-ON RESET (POR)
The on-chip POR circuit holds the chip in Reset until VDD
has reached a high enough level for proper operation. To
take advantage of the POR, simply connect the MCLR
pin through a resistor to VDD. This will eliminate external
RC components usually needed to create Power-on
Reset. A maximum rise time for VDD is required. See
Section 19.0 “Electrical Specifications” for details. If
the BOR is enabled, the maximum rise time specification
does not apply. The BOR circuitry will keep the device in
Reset until VDD reaches VBOR (see Section 16.2.4
“Brown-Out Reset (BOR)”).
When the device starts normal operation (exits the
Reset condition), device operating parameters (i.e.,
voltage, frequency, temperature, etc.) must be met to
ensure operation. If these conditions are not met, the
device must be held in Reset until the operating
conditions are met.
For additional information, refer to Application Note
AN607, “Power-up Trouble Shooting” (DS00607).
16.2.2 MCLR
PIC16F91X/946 has a noise filter in the MCLR Reset
path. The filter will detect and ignore small pulses.
It should be noted that a WDT Reset does not drive
MCLR pin low.
Voltages applied to the pin that exceed its specification
can result in both MCLR Resets and excessive current
beyond the device specification during the ESD event.
For this reason, Microchip recommends that the MCLR
pin no longer be tied directly to VDD. The use of an RC
network, as shown in Figure 16-2, is suggested.
An internal MCLR option is enabled by clearing the
MCLRE bit in the Configuration Word register. When
MCLRE = 0, the Reset signal to the chip is generated
internally. When the MCLRE = 1, the RE3/MCLR pin
becomes an external Reset input. In this mode, the
RE3/MCLR pin has a weak pull-up to VDD. In-Circuit
Serial Programming is not affected by selecting the
internal MCLR option.
FIGURE 16-2: RECOMMENDED MCLR
CIRCUIT
16.2.3 POWER-UP TIMER (PWRT)
The Power-up Timer provides a fixed 64 ms (nominal)
time-out on power-up only, from POR or Brown-out
Reset. The Power-up Timer operates from the 31 kHz
LFINTOSC oscillator. For more information, see
Section 4.5 “Internal Clock Modes”. The chip is kept
in Reset as long as PWRT is active. The PWRT delay
allows the VDD to rise to an acceptable level. A Config-
uration bit, PWRTE, can disable (if set) or enable (if
cleared or programmed) the Power-up Timer. The
Power-up Timer should be enabled when Brown-out
Reset is enabled, although it is not required.
The Power-up Timer delay will vary from chip-to-chip
and vary due to:
•V
DD variation
Temperature variation
Process variation
See DC parameters for details (Section 19.0
“Electrical Specifications”).
Note: The POR circuit does not produce an
internal Reset when VDD declines. To
re-enable the POR, VDD must reach Vss
for a minimum of 100 μs.

16.2.4 BROWN-OUT RESET (BOR)
The BOREN0 and BOREN1 bits in the Configuration
Word register selects one of four BOR modes. Two
modes have been added to allow software or hardware
control of the BOR enable. When BOREN<1:0> = 01,
the SBOREN bit of the PCON register enables/disables
the BOR allowing it to be controlled in software. By
selecting BOREN<1:0>, the BOR is automatically dis-
abled in Sleep to conserve power and enabled on
wake-up. In this mode, the SBOREN bit is disabled.
See Register 16-1 for the Configuration Word defini-
tion.
If VDD falls below VBOR for greater than parameter
(TBOR) (see Section 19.0 “Electrical Specifica-
tions”), the Brown-out situation will reset the device.
This will occur regardless of VDD slew rate. A Reset is
not insured to occur if VDD falls below VBOR for less
than parameter (TBOR).
On any Reset (Power-on, Brown-out Reset, Watchdog
Timer, etc.), the chip will remain in Reset until VDD rises
above VBOR (see Figure 16-3). The Power-up Timer
will now be invoked, if enabled and will keep the chip in
Reset an additional 64 ms.
If VDD drops below VBOR while the Power-up Timer is
running, the chip will go back into a Brown-out Reset
and the Power-up Timer will be re-initialized. Once VDD
rises above VBOR, the Power-up Timer will execute a
64 ms Reset.
16.2.5 BOR CALIBRATION
The PIC16F91X/946 stores the BOR calibration values
in fuses located in the Calibration Word (2008h). The
Calibration Word is not erased when using the
specified bulk erase sequence in the PIC16F91X/946
Memory Programming Specification” (DS41244) and
thus, does not require reprogramming.
FIGURE 16-3: BROWN-OUT SITUATIONS
Note: The Power-up Timer is enabled by the
PWRTE bit in the Configuration Word.
Address 2008h is beyond the user program memory
space. It belongs to the special configuration memory
space (2000h-3FFFh), which can be accessed only
during programming. See “PIC16F91X/946 Memory
Programming Specification” (DS41244) for more
information.

16.2.6 TIME-OUT SEQUENCE
On power-up, the time-out sequence is as follows: first,
PWRT time-out is invoked after POR has expired, then
OST is activated after the PWRT time-out has expired.
The total time-out will vary based on oscillator configu-
ration and PWRTE bit status. For example, in EC mode
with PWRTE bit erased (PWRT disabled), there will be
no time-out at all. Figure 16-4, Figure 16-5 and Figure
16-6 depict time-out sequences. The device can exe-
cute code from the INTOSC while OST is active, by
enabling Two-Speed Start-up or Fail-Safe Monitor (see
Section 4.7.2 “Two-Speed Start-up Sequence” and
Section 4.8 “Fail-Safe Clock Monitor”).
Since the time-outs occur from the POR pulse, if MCLR
is kept low long enough, the time-outs will expire. Then,
bringing MCLR high will begin execution immediately
(see Figure 16-5). This is useful for testing purposes or
to synchronize more than one PIC16F91X/946 device
operating in parallel.
Table 16-5 shows the Reset conditions for some
special registers, while Table 16-5 shows the Reset
conditions for all the registers.
16.2.7 POWER CONTROL (PCON)
REGISTER
The Power Control (PCON) register (address 8Eh) has
two Status bits to indicate what type of Reset that last
occurred.
Bit 0 is BOR (Brown-out Reset). BOR is unknown on
Power-on Reset. It must then be set by the user and
checked on subsequent Resets to see if BOR = 0,
indicating that a Brown-out has occurred. The BOR
Status bit is a “don’t care” and is not necessarily
predictable if the brown-out circuit is disabled
(BOREN<1:0> = 00 in the Configuration Word register).
Bit 1 is POR (Power-on Reset). It is a ‘0’ on Power-on
Reset and unaffected otherwise. The user must write a
1’ to this bit following a Power-on Reset. On a
subsequent Reset, if POR is ‘0’, it will indicate that a
Power-on Reset has occurred (i.e., VDD may have
gone too low).
For more information, see Section 16.2.4 “Brown-Out
Reset (BOR)”.

16.3 Interrupts
The PIC16F91X/946 has multiple sources of interrupt:
External Interrupt RB0/INT/SEG0
TMR0 Overflow Interrupt
PORTB Change Interrupts
2 Comparator Interrupts
A/D Interrupt
Timer1 Overflow Interrupt
EEPROM Data Write Interrupt
Fail-Safe Clock Monitor Interrupt
LCD Interrupt
PLVD Interrupt
USART Receive and Transmit interrupts
CCP1 and CCP2 Interrupts
Timer2 Interrupt
The Interrupt Control (INTCON), Peripheral Interrupt
Request 1 (PIR1) and Peripheral Interrupt Request 2
(PIR2) registers record individual interrupt requests in
flag bits. The INTCON register also has individual and
global interrupt enable bits.
A Global Interrupt Enable bit, GIE of the INTCON
register, enables (if set) all unmasked interrupts, or
disables (if cleared) all interrupts. Individual interrupts
can be disabled through their corresponding enable
bits in the INTCON, PIE1 and PIE2 registers. GIE is
cleared on Reset.
The Return from Interrupt instruction, RETFIE, exits
the interrupt routine, as well as sets the GIE bit, which
re-enables unmasked interrupts.
The following interrupt flags are contained in the
INTCON register:
INT Pin Interrupt
PORTB Change Interrupt
TMR0 Overflow Interrupt
The peripheral interrupt flags are contained in the special
registers, PIR1 and PIR2. The corresponding interrupt
enable bit are contained in the special registers, PIE1
and PIE2.
The following interrupt flags are contained in the PIR1
register:
EEPROM Data Write Interrupt
A/D Interrupt
USART Receive and Transmit Interrupts
Timer1 Overflow Interrupt
CCP1 Interrupt
SSP Interrupt
Timer2 Interrupt
The following interrupt flags are contained in the PIR2
register:
Fail-Safe Clock Monitor Interrupt
Comparator 1 and 2 Interrupts
LCD Interrupt
PLVD Interrupt
CCP2 Interrupt
When an interrupt is serviced:
The GIE is cleared to disable any further interrupt.
The return address is pushed onto the stack.
The PC is loaded with 0004h.
For external interrupt events, such as the INT pin or
PORTB change interrupt, the interrupt latency will be
three or four instruction cycles. The exact latency
depends upon when the interrupt event occurs (see
Figure 16-8). The latency is the same for one or
two-cycle instructions. Once in the Interrupt Service
Routine, the source(s) of the interrupt can be deter-
mined by polling the interrupt flag bits. The interrupt flag
bit(s) must be cleared in software before re-enabling
interrupts to avoid multiple interrupt requests.
For additional information on how a module generates
an interrupt, refer to the respective peripheral section.
Note 1: Individual interrupt flag bits are set,
regardless of the status of their
corresponding mask bit or the GIE bit.
2: When an instruction that clears the GIE
bit is executed, any interrupts that were
pending for execution in the next cycle
are ignored. The interrupts, which were
ignored, are still pending to be serviced
when the GIE bit is set again.
Note: The ANSEL and CMCON0 registers must
be initialized to configure an analog chan-
nel as a digital input. Pins configured as
analog inputs will read0’. Also, if a LCD
output function is active on an external
interrupt pin, that interrupt function will be
disabled.

PIC16F913/914/916/917/946
16.3.1 RB0/INT/SEG0 INTERRUPT
External interrupt on RB0/INT/SEG0 pin is edge-trig-
gered; either rising if the INTEDG bit of the OPTION
register is set, or falling, if the INTEDG bit is clear.
When a valid edge appears on the RB0/INT/SEG0 pin,
the INTF bit of the INTCON register is set. This inter-
rupt can be disabled by clearing the INTE control bit of
the INTCON register. The INTF bit must be cleared in
software in the Interrupt Service Routine before
re-enabling this interrupt. The RB0/INT/SEG0 interrupt
can wake-up the processor from Sleep if the INTE bit
was set prior to going into Sleep. The status of the GIE
bit decides whether or not the processor branches to
the interrupt vector following wake-up (0004h). See
Section 16.5 “Power-Down Mode (Sleep) for details
on Sleep and Figure 16-10 for timing of wake-up from
Sleep through RB0/INT/SEG0 interrupt.
16.3.2 TMR0 INTERRUPT
An overflow (FFh 00h) in the TMR0 register will set
the T0IF bit of the INTCON register. The interrupt can
be enabled/disabled by setting/clearing T0IE bit of the
INTCON register. See Section 5.0 “Timer0 Module”
for operation of the Timer0 module.
16.3.3 PORTB INTERRUPT
An input change on PORTB change sets the RBIF bit
of the INTCON register. The interrupt can be
enabled/disabled by setting/clearing the RBIE bit of the
INTCON register. Plus, individual pins can be
configured through the IOCB register.
FIGURE 16-7: INTERRUPT LOGIC
Note: If a change on the I/O pin should occur
when the read operation is being executed
(start of the Q2 cycle), then the RBIF
interrupt flag may not get set.

PIC16F913/914/916/917/946
16.3.4 CONTEXT SAVING DURING
INTERRUPTS
During an interrupt, only the return PC value is saved
on the stack. Typically, users may wish to save key
registers during an interrupt (e.g., W and STATUS
registers). This must be implemented in software.
Since the lower 16 bytes of all banks are common in the
PIC16F91X/946 (see Figure 2-3), temporary holding
registers, W_TEMP and STATUS_TEMP, should be
placed in here. These 16 locations do not require
banking and therefore, make it easier to context save
and restore. The same code shown in Example 16-1
can be used to:
Store the W register
Store the STATUS register
Execute the ISR code
Restore the STATUS register (Bank Select bits)
Restore the W register
EXAMPLE 16-1: SAVING STATUS AND W REGISTERS IN RAM
Note: The microcontroller does not normally
require saving the PCLATH register
unless it is modified in code either directly
or via the pagesel macro. Then, the
PCLATH register must be saved at the
beginning of the ISR, managed for CALLs
and GOTOs in the ISR and restored when
the ISR is complete to ensure correct
program flow.

16.4 Watchdog Timer (WDT)
For PIC16F91X/946, the WDT has been modified from
previous PIC16F devices. The new WDT is code and
functionally compatible with previous PIC16F WDT
modules and adds a 16-bit prescaler to the WDT. This
allows the user to have a scaled value for the WDT and
TMR0 at the same time. In addition, the WDT time-out
value can be extended to 268 seconds. WDT is cleared
under certain conditions described in Table 16-7.
16.4.1 WDT OSCILLATOR
The WDT derives its time base from the 31 kHz
LFINTOSC. The LTS bit does not reflect that the
LFINTOSC is enabled.
The value of WDTCON is ‘---0 1000’ on all Resets.
This gives a nominal time base of 16 ms, which is
compatible with the time base generated with previous
PIC16F microcontroller versions.
A new prescaler has been added to the path between
the INTOSC and the multiplexers used to select the
path for the WDT. This prescaler is 16 bits and can be
programmed to divide the INTOSC by 32 to 65536,
giving the WDT a nominal range of 1 ms to 268s.
16.4.2 WDT CONTROL
The WDTE bit is located in the Configuration Word
register. When set, the WDT runs continuously.
When the WDTE bit in the Configuration Word register
is set, the SWDTEN bit of the WDTCON register has no
effect. If WDTE is clear, then the SWDTEN bit can be
used to enable and disable the WDT. Setting the bit will
enable it and clearing the bit will disable it.
The PSA and PS<2:0> bits of the OPTION register
have the same function as in previous versions of the
PIC16F family of microcontrollers. See Section 5.0
“Timer0 Module” for more information.
FIGURE 16-9: WATCHDOG TIMER BLOCK DIAGRAM
Note: When the Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST)
is invoked, the WDT is held in Reset,
because the WDT Ripple Counter is used
by the OST to perform the oscillator delay
count. When the OST count has expired,
the WDT will begin counting (if enabled).

16.5 Power-Down Mode (Sleep)
The Power-down mode is entered by executing a
SLEEP instruction.
If the Watchdog Timer is enabled:
WDT will be cleared but keeps running.
•PD
bit in the STATUS register is cleared.
•TO
bit is set.
Oscillator driver is turned off.
Timer1 oscillator is unaffected
I/O ports maintain the status they had before
SLEEP was executed (driving high, low or
high-impedance).
For lowest current consumption in this mode, all I/O
pins should be either at VDD or VSS, with no external
circuitry drawing current from the I/O pin, and the
comparators and CVREF should be disabled. I/O pins
that are high-impedance inputs should be pulled high
or low externally to avoid switching currents caused by
floating inputs. The T0CKI input should also be at VDD
or VSS for lowest current consumption. The
contribution from on-chip pull-ups on PORTB should be
considered.
The MCLR pin must be at a logic high level.
16.5.1 WAKE-UP FROM SLEEP
The device can wake-up from Sleep through one of the
following events:
1. External Reset input on MCLR pin.
2. Watchdog Timer wake-up (if WDT was
enabled).
3. Interrupt from RB0/INT/SEG0 pin, PORTB
change or a peripheral interrupt.
The first event will cause a device Reset. The two latter
events are considered a continuation of program
execution. The TO and PD bits in the STATUS register
can be used to determine the cause of device Reset.
The PD bit, which is set on power-up, is cleared when
Sleep is invoked. TO bit is cleared if WDT wake-up
occurred.
The following peripheral interrupts can wake the device
from Sleep:
1. TMR1 Interrupt. Timer1 must be operating as an
asynchronous counter.
2. USART Receive Interrupt (Sync Slave mode
only)
3. A/D conversion (when A/D clock source is RC)
4. EEPROM write operation completion
5. Comparator output changes state
6. Interrupt-on-change
7. External Interrupt from INT pin
8. PLVD Interrupt
9. LCD Interrupt (if running during Sleep)
Other peripherals cannot generate interrupts since
during Sleep, no on-chip clocks are present.
When the SLEEP instruction is being executed, the next
instruction (PC + 1) is pre-fetched. For the device to
wake-up through an interrupt event, the corresponding
interrupt enable bit must be set (enabled). Wake-up is
regardless of the state of the GIE bit. If the GIE bit is
clear (disabled), the device continues execution at the
instruction after the SLEEP instruction. If the GIE bit is
set (enabled), the device executes the instruction after
the SLEEP instruction, then branches to the interrupt
address (0004h). In cases where the execution of the
instruction following SLEEP is not desirable, the user
should have a NOP after the SLEEP instruction.
The WDT is cleared when the device wakes up from
Sleep, regardless of the source of wake-up.
16.5.2 WAKE-UP USING INTERRUPTS
When global interrupts are disabled (GIE cleared) and
any interrupt source has both its interrupt enable bit
and interrupt flag bit set, one of the following will occur:
If the interrupt occurs before the execution of a
SLEEP instruction, the SLEEP instruction will
complete as a NOP. Therefore, the WDT and WDT
prescaler and postscaler (if enabled) will not be
cleared, the TO bit will not be set and the PD bit
will not be cleared.
If the interrupt occurs during or after the
execution of a SLEEP instruction, the device will
immediately wake-up from Sleep. The SLEEP
instruction will be completely executed before the
wake-up. Therefore, the WDT and WDT prescaler
and postscaler (if enabled) will be cleared, the TO
bit will be set and the PD bit will be cleared.
Note: It should be noted that a Reset generated
by a WDT time-out does not drive MCLR
pin low.
Note: If the global interrupts are disabled (GIE is
cleared), but any interrupt source has both
its interrupt enable bit and the correspond-
ing interrupt flag bits set, the device will
immediately wake-up from Sleep. The
SLEEP instruction is completely executed.
© 2007 Microchip Technology Inc. DS41250F-page 237
PIC16F913/914/916/917/946
Even if the flag bits were checked before executing a
SLEEP instruction, it may be possible for flag bits to
become set before the SLEEP instruction completes. To
determine whether a SLEEP instruction executed, test
the PD bit. If the PD bit is set, the SLEEP instruction
was executed as a NOP.
To ensure that the WDT is cleared, a CLRWDT instruction
should be executed before a SLEEP instruction.

16.6 Code Protection
If the code protection bit(s) have not been
programmed, the on-chip program memory can be
read out using ICSP for verification purposes.
16.7 ID Locations
Four memory locations (2000h-2003h) are designated
as ID locations where the user can store checksum or
other code identification numbers. These locations are
not accessible during normal execution, but are
readable and writable during Program/Verify mode.
Only the Least Significant 7 bits of the ID locations are
used.
16.8 In-Circuit Serial Programming
The PIC16F91X/946 microcontrollers 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
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.
The device is placed into a Program/Verify mode by
holding the RB7/ICSPDAT/ICDDAT/SEG13 and
RB6/ICSPCLK/ICDCK/SEG14 pins low, while raising
the MCLR (VPP) pin from VIL to VIHH. See
PIC16F91X/946 Memory Programming Specification”
(DS41244) for more information. RB7 becomes the
programming data and the RB6 becomes the
programming clock. Both RB7 and RB6 are Schmitt
Trigger inputs in this mode.
After Reset, to place the device into Program/Verify
mode, the Program Counter (PC) is at location 0000h. A
6-bit command is then supplied to the device. Depending
on the command, 14 bits of program data are then
supplied to or from the device, depending on whether the
command was a load or a read. For complete details of
serial programming, please refer to the “PIC16F91X/946
Memory Programming Specification” (DS41244).
A typical In-Circuit Serial Programming connection is
shown in Figure 16-11.

Note: The entire data EEPROM and Flash
program memory will be erased when the

16.9 In-Circuit Debugger
When the debug bit in the Configuration Word register
is programmed to a ‘0’, the In-Circuit Debugger func-
tionality is enabled. This function allows simple debug-
ging functions when used with MPLAB® ICD 2. When
the microcontroller has this feature enabled, some of
the resources are not available for general use. See
Table 16-9 for more detail.
For more information, see “Using MPLAB® ICD 2”
(DS51265), available on Microchip’s web site
(www.microchip.com).
16.9.1 ICD PINOUT
The devices in the PIC16F91X/946 family carry the
circuitry for the In-Circuit Debugger on-chip and on
existing device pins. This eliminates the need for a
separate die or package for the ICD device. The
pinout for the ICD device is the same as the devices
(see Section 1.0 “Device Overview” for complete
pinout and pin descriptions). Table 16-9 shows the
location and function of the ICD related pins on the 28
and 40-pin devices.
TABLE 16-9: PIC16F91X/946-ICD PIN DESCRIPTIONS
Note: The users application must have the
circuitry required to support ICD
functionality. Once the ICD circuitry is
enabled, normal device pin functions on
RB6/ICSPCLK/ICDCK/SEG14 and
RB7/ICSPDAT/ICDDAT/SEG13 will not be
usable. The ICD circuitry uses these pins for
communication with the ICD2 external
debugger.

PIC16F913/914/916/917/946
17.0 INSTRUCTION SET SUMMARY
The PIC16F913/914/916/917/946 instruction set is
highly orthogonal and is comprised of three basic cate-
gories:
Byte-oriented operations
Bit-oriented operations
Literal and control operations
Each PIC16 instruction is a 14-bit word divided into an
opcode, which specifies the instruction type and one or
more operands, which further specify the operation of
the instruction. The formats for each of the categories
is presented in Figure 17-1, while the various opcode
fields are summarized in Table 17-1.
Table 17-2 lists the instructions recognized by the
MPASMTM assembler.
For byte-oriented instructions, ‘f’ represents a file
register designator and ‘d’ represents a destination
designator. The file register designator specifies which
file register is to be used by the instruction.
The destination designator specifies where the result of
the operation is to be placed. If ‘d’ is zero, the result is
placed in the W register. If ‘d’ is one, the result is placed
in the file register specified in the instruction.
For bit-oriented instructions, ‘b’ represents a bit field
designator, which selects the bit affected by the
operation, while ‘f’ represents the address of the file in
which the bit is located.
For literal and control operations, ‘k’ represents an
8-bit or 11-bit constant, or literal value.
One instruction cycle consists of four oscillator periods;
for an oscillator frequency of 4 MHz, this gives a
nominal instruction execution time of 1 μs. All
instructions are executed within a single instruction
cycle, unless a conditional test is true, or the program
counter is changed as a result of an instruction. When
this occurs, the execution takes two instruction cycles,
with the second cycle executed as a NOP.
All instruction examples use the format0xhh’ to
represent a hexadecimal number, where ‘h’ signifies a
hexadecimal digit.
17.1 Read-Modify-Write Operations
Any instruction that specifies a file register as part of
the instruction performs a Read-Modify-Write (R-M-W)
operation. The register is read, the data is modified,
and the result is stored according to either the instruc-
tion, or the destination designator ‘d’. A read operation
is performed on a register even if the instruction writes
to that register.
For example, a CLRF PORTA instruction will read
PORTA, clear all the data bits, then write the result back
to PORTA. This example would have the unintended
consequence of clearing the condition that set the RBIF
flag.

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

Note 1: When an I/O register is modified as a function of itself (e.g., MOVF GPIO, 1), 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 to the Timer0 module.
3: If the Program Counter (PC) is modified, or a conditional test is true, the instruction requires two cycles. The second
cycle is executed as a NOP.

18.3 MPLAB C18 and MPLAB C30
C Compilers
The MPLAB C18 and MPLAB C30 Code Development
Systems are complete ANSI C compilers for
Microchip’s PIC18 and PIC24 families of microcontrol-
lers and the dsPIC30 and dsPIC33 family of digital sig-
nal controllers. These compilers provide powerful
integration capabilities, superior code optimization and
ease of use not found with other compilers.
For easy source level debugging, the compilers provide
symbol information that is optimized to the MPLAB IDE
debugger.
18.4 MPLINK Object Linker/
MPLIB Object Librarian
The MPLINK Object Linker combines relocatable
objects created by the MPASM Assembler and the
MPLAB C18 C Compiler. 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
18.5 MPLAB ASM30 Assembler, Linker
and Librarian
MPLAB ASM30 Assembler produces relocatable
machine code from symbolic assembly language for
dsPIC30F devices. MPLAB C30 C 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 dsPIC30F instruction set
Support for fixed-point and floating-point data
Command line interface
Rich directive set
Flexible macro language
MPLAB IDE compatibility
18.6 MPLAB SIM Software Simulator
The MPLAB 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 SIM Software Simulator fully supports
symbolic debugging using the MPLAB C18 and
MPLAB C30 C Compilers, and the MPASM and
MPLAB ASM30 Assemblers. The software simulator
offers the flexibility to develop and debug code outside
of the hardware laboratory environment, making it an
excellent, economical software development tool.

Note 1: As a transmitter, the device must provide this internal minimum delay time to bridge the undefined region (min. 300 ns)
of the falling edge of SCL to avoid unintended generation of Start or Stop conditions.
2: A Fast mode (400 kHz) I2C bus device can be used in a Standard mode (100 kHz) I2C bus system, but the requirement
TSU:DAT 250 ns must then be met. This will automatically be the case if the device does not stretch the low period of
the SCL signal. If such a device does stretch the low period of the SCL signal, it must output the next data bit to the SDA
line TR max. + TSU:DAT = 1000 + 250 = 1250 ns (according to the Standard mode I2C bus specification), before the SCL
line is released.
