This family of devices contain an enhanced mid-range 8-bit CPU core. The CPU has 49 instructions. Interrupt capability includes automatic context saving. The hardware stack is 16 levels deep and has Overflow and Underflow Reset capability. Direct, Indirect, and Relative addressing modes are available. Two File Select Registers (FSRs) provide the ability to read program and data memory.
• Automatic Interrupt Context Saving
• 16-level Stack with Overflow and Underflow
• File Select Registers
• Instruction Set

PIC16(L)F1503

2.1 Automatic Interrupt Context Saving

During interrupts, certain registers are automatically saved in shadow registers and restored when returning from the interrupt. This saves stack space and user code. See Section 7.5 “Automatic Context Saving”, for more information.

2.2 16-Level Stack with Overflow and Underflow

These devices have a hardware stack memory 15 bits wide and 16 words deep. A Stack Overflow or Under­flow will set the appropriate bit (STKOVF or STKUNF) in the PCON register, and if enabled, will cause a soft­ware Reset. See section Section 3.4 “Stack” for more details.

2.3 File Select Registers

There are two 16-bit File Select Registers (FSR). FSRs can access all file registers and program memory, which allows one Data Pointer for all memory. When an FSR points to program memory, there is one additional instruction cycle in instructions using INDF to allow the data to be fetched. General purpose memory can now also be addressed linearly, providing the ability to access contiguous data larger than 80 bytes. There are also new instructions to support the FSRs. See
Section 3.5 “Indirect Addressing” for more details.

2.4 Instruction Set

There are 49 instructions for the enhanced mid-range CPU to support the features of the CPU. See
Section 27.0 “Instruction Set Summary” for more
details.

3.0 MEMORY ORGANIZATION

These devices contain the following types of memory:
• Program Memory
- Configuration Words
- Device ID
-User ID
- Flash Program Memory
• Data Memory
- Core Registers
- Special Function Registers
- General Purpose RAM
- Common RAM
The following features are associated with access and control of program memory and data memory:
• PCL and PCLATH
•Stack
• Indirect Addressing

3.1 Program Memory Organization

The enhanced mid-range core has a 15-bit program counter capable of addressing a 32K x 14 program memory space. Table 3-1 shows the memory sizes implemented. Accessing a location above these boundaries will cause a wrap-around within the implemented memory space. The Reset vector is at 0000h and the interrupt vector is at 0004h (See
Figure 3-1).

3.1.1 READING PROGRAM MEMORY AS DATA
There are two methods of accessing constants in pro­gram memory. The first method is to use tables of RETLW instructions. The second method is to set an FSR to point to the program memory.
3.1.1.1 RETLW Instruction
The RETLW instruction can be used to provide access to tables of constants. The recommended way to create such a table is shown in Example 3-1.

EXAMPLE 3-1: RETLW INSTRUCTION

The BRW instruction makes this type of table very sim­ple to implement. If your code must remain portable with previous generations of microcontrollers, then the BRW instruction is not available so the older table read method must be used.

The program memory can be accessed as data by set­ting bit 7 of the FSRxH register and reading the match­ing INDFx register. The MOVIW instruction will place the lower eight bits of the addressed word in the W register. Writes to the program memory cannot be performed via the INDF registers. Instructions that access the pro­gram memory via the FSR require one extra instruction cycle to complete. Example 3-2 demonstrates access­ing the program memory via an FSR.
The HIGH operator will set bit<7> if a label points to a location in program memory.

3.2 Data Memory Organization

The data memory is partitioned in 32 memory banks with 128 bytes in a bank. Each bank consists of (Figure 3-2):
• 12 core registers
• 20 Special Function Registers (SFR)
• Up to 80 bytes of General Purpose RAM (GPR)
• 16 bytes of common RAM
The active bank is selected by writing the bank number into the Bank Select Register (BSR). Unimplemented memory will read as ‘0’. All data memory can be accessed either directly (via instructions that use the file registers) or indirectly via the two File Select Registers (FSR). See Section3.5 “Indirect
Addressing” for more information.
Data memory uses a 12-bit address. The upper five bits of the address define the Bank address and the lower seven bits select the registers/RAM in that bank.
3.2.1 CORE REGISTERS
The core registers contain the registers that directly affect the basic operation. The core registers occupy the first 12 addresses of every data memory bank (addresses x00h/x08h through x0Bh/x8Bh). These registers are listed below in Ta b le 3- 2. For detailed information, see Tab le 3 -4 .

3.2.1.1 STATUS Register
The STATUS register, shown in Register 3-1, contains:
• the arithmetic status of the ALU
• the Reset status
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 writable. Therefore, the result of an instruction with the STATUS register as destination may be different than intended.
and PD bits are not
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 (Refer to
Section27.0 “Instruction Set Summary”).
Note 1: The C and DC bits operate as Borrow
and Digit Borrow out bits, respectively, in subtraction.

3.2.2 SPECIAL FUNCTION REGISTER
The Special Function Registers are registers used by the application to control the desired operation of peripheral functions in the device. The Special Function Registers occupy the 20 bytes after the core registers of every data memory bank (addresses x0Ch/x8Ch through x1Fh/x9Fh). The registers associated with the operation of the peripherals are described in the appro­priate peripheral chapter of this data sheet.
3.2.3 GENERAL PURPOSE RAM
There are up to 80 bytes of GPR in each data memory bank. The Special Function Registers occupy the 20 bytes after the core registers of every data memory bank (addresses x0Ch/x8Ch through x1Fh/x9Fh).
3.2.3.1 Linear Access to GPR
The general purpose RAM can be accessed in a non-banked method via the FSRs. This can simplify access to large memory structures. See
Section3.5.2 “Linear Data Memory” for more
information.
3.2.4 COMMON RAM
There are 16 bytes of common RAM accessible from all banks.

3.3 PCL and PCLATH

The Program Counter (PC) is 15 bits wide. The low byte comes from the PCL register, which is a readable and writable register. The high byte (PC<14:8>) is not directly readable or writable and comes from PCLATH. On any Reset, the PC is cleared. Figure 3-3 shows the five situations for the loading of the PC.
FIGURE 3-3: LOADING OF PC IN
DIFFERENT SITUATIONS
3.3.1 MODIFYING PCL
Executing any instruction with the PCL register as the destination simultaneously causes the Program Counter PC<14:8> bits (PCH) to be replaced by the contents of the PCLATH register. This allows the entire contents of the program counter to be changed by writing the desired upper seven bits to the PCLATH register. When the lower eight bits are written to the PCL register, all 15 bits of the program counter will change to the values contained in the PCLATH register and those being written to the PCL register.
3.3.2 COMPUTED GOTO
A computed GOTO is accomplished by adding an offset to the program counter (ADDWF PCL). When performing 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 Application Note AN556, “Implementing a Table Read” (DS00556).
3.3.3 COMPUTED FUNCTION CALLS
A computed function CALL allows programs to maintain tables of functions and provide another way to execute state machines or look-up tables. When performing a table read using a computed function CALL, care should be exercised if the table location crosses a PCL memory boundary (each 256-byte block).
If using the CALL instruction, the PCH<2:0> and PCL registers are loaded with the operand of the CALL instruction. PCH<6:3> is loaded with PCLATH<6:3>.
The CALLW instruction enables computed calls by com­bining PCLATH and W to form the destination address. A computed CALLW is accomplished by loading the W register with the desired address and executing CALLW. The PCL register is loaded with the value of W and PCH is loaded with PCLATH.
3.3.4 BRANCHING
The branching instructions add an offset to the PC. This allows relocatable code and code that crosses page boundaries. There are two forms of branching, BRW and BRA. The PC will have incremented to fetch the next instruction in both cases. When using either branching instruction, a PCL memory boundary may be crossed.
If using BRW, load the W register with the desired unsigned address and execute BRW. The entire PC will be loaded with the address PC + 1 + W.
If using BRA, the entire PC will be loaded with PC + 1 +, the signed value of the operand of the BRA instruction.

3.4 Stack

All devices have a 16-level x 15-bit wide hardware stack (refer to Figures 3-4 through 3-7). The stack space is not part of either program or data space. The PC is PUSHed onto the stack when CALL or CALLW instructions are 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 if the STVREN bit is programmed to ‘0‘ (Configuration Words). This means that after the stack has been PUSHed sixteen times, the seventeenth PUSH overwrites the value that was stored from the first PUSH. The eighteenth PUSH overwrites the second PUSH (and so on). The STKOVF and STKUNF flag bits will be set on an Over­flow/Underflow, regardless of whether the Reset is enabled.
Note 1: There are no instructions/mnemonics
called PUSH or POP. These are actions that occur from the execution of the
CALL, CALLW, RETURN, RETLW and RETFIE instructions or the vectoring to
an interrupt address.
3.4.1 ACCESSING THE STACK
The stack is available through the TOSH, TOSL and STKPTR registers. STKPTR is the current value of the Stack Pointer. TOSH:TOSL register pair points to the TOP of the stack. Both registers are read/writable. TOS is split into TOSH and TOSL due to the 15-bit size of the PC. To access the stack, adjust the value of STKPTR, which will position TOSH:TOSL, then read/write to TOSH:TOSL. STKPTR is 5 bits to allow detection of overflow and underflow.
Note: Care should be taken when modifying the
STKPTR while interrupts are enabled.
During normal program operation, CALL, CALLW and Interrupts will increment STKPTR while RETLW, RETURN, and RETFIE will decrement STKPTR. At any time STKPTR can be inspected to see how much stack is left. The STKPTR always points at the currently used place on the stack. Therefore, a CALL or CALLW will increment the STKPTR and then write the PC, and a return will unload the PC and then decrement the STKPTR.
Reference Figure 3-4 through Figure 3-7 for examples of accessing the stack.

3.4.2 OVERFLOW/UNDERFLOW RESET
If the STVREN bit in Configuration Words is programmed to ‘1’, the device will be reset if the stack is PUSHed beyond the sixteenth level or POPed beyond the first level, setting the appropriate bits (STKOVF or STKUNF, respectively) in the PCON register.

3.5 Indirect Addressing

The INDFn registers are not physical registers. Any instruction that accesses an INDFn register actually accesses the register at the address specified by the File Select Registers (FSR). If the FSRn address specifies one of the two INDFn registers, the read will return ‘0’ and the write will not occur (though Status bits may be affected). The FSRn register value is created by the pair FSRnH and FSRnL.
The FSR registers form a 16-bit address that allows an addressing space with 65536 locations. These locations are divided into three memory regions:
• Traditional Data Memory
• Linear Data Memory
• Program Flash Memory

3.5.2 LINEAR DATA MEMORY
The linear data memory is the region from FSR address 0x2000 to FSR address 0x29AF. This region is a virtual region that points back to the 80-byte blocks of GPR memory in all the banks.
Unimplemented memory reads as 0x00. Use of the linear data memory region allows buffers to be larger than 80 bytes because incrementing the FSR beyond one bank will go directly to the GPR memory of the next bank.
The 16 bytes of common memory are not included in the linear data memory region.
FIGURE 3-10: LINEAR DATA MEMORY
MAP
3.5.3 PROGRAM FLASH MEMORY
To make constant data access easier, the entire program Flash memory is mapped to the upper half of the FSR address space. When the MSb of FSRnH is set, the lower 15 bits are the address in program memory which will be accessed through INDF. Only the lower eight bits of each memory location is accessible via INDF. Writing to the program Flash memory cannot be accomplished via the FSR/INDF interface. All instructions that access program Flash memory via the FSR/INDF interface will require one additional instruction cycle to complete.

4.0 DEVICE CONFIGURATION

Device configuration consists of Configuration Words, Code Protection and Device ID.

4.1 Configuration Words

There are several Configuration Word bits that allow different oscillator and memory protection options. These are implemented as Configuration Word 1 at 8007h and Configuration Word 2 at 8008h.
Note: The DEBUG bit in Configuration Words is
managed automatically by device development tools including debuggers and programmers. For normal device operation, this bit should be maintained as a ‘1’.

5.0 OSCILLATOR MODULE

5.1 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 perfor­mance and minimizing power consumption. Figure 5-1 illustrates a block diagram of the oscillator module.
Clock sources can be supplied from an external clock or 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 sources via software.
• Fast start-up oscillator allows internal circuits to power-up and stabilize before switching to the 16 MHz HFINTOSC
The oscillator module can be configured in one of the following clock modes.
1. ECL – External Clock Low-Power mode (0 MHz to 0.5 MHz)
2. ECM – External Clock Medium-Power mode (0.5 MHz to 4 MHz)
3. ECH – External Clock High-Power mode (4 MHz to 20 MHz)
4. INTOSC – Internal oscillator (31 kHz to 16 MHz)
Clock Source modes are selected by the FOSC<1:0> bits in the Configuration Words. The FOSC bits determine the type of oscillator that will be used when the device is first powered.
The ECH, ECM, and ECL clock modes rely on an external logic level signal as the device clock source.
The INTOSC internal oscillator block produces a low and high-frequency clock source, designated LFINTOSC and HFINTOSC. (See Internal Oscillator Block, Figure 5-1). A wide selection of device clock frequencies may be derived from these two clock sources.

5.2 Clock Source Types

Clock sources can be classified as external, internal or peripheral.
External clock sources rely on external circuitry for the clock source to function. Examples are: oscillator mod­ules (ECH, ECM, ECL modes).
Internal clock sources are contained within the oscillator module. The internal oscillator block has two internal oscillators that are used to generate the internal system clock sources: the 16 MHz High-Frequency Internal Oscillator (HFINTOSC) and the 31 kHz Low-Frequency Internal Oscillator (LFINTOSC).
The peripheral clock source is a nominal 600 kHz internal RC oscillator, FRC. The FRC is traditionally used with the ADC module, but is sometimes available to other peripherals. See Section 5.2.2.4 “Peripheral
Clock Sources”.
The system clock can be selected between external or internal clock sources via the System Clock Select (SCS) bits in the OSCCON register. See Section 5.3
“Clock Switching” for additional information.
5.2.1 EXTERNAL CLOCK SOURCES
An external clock source can be used as the device system clock by performing one of the following actions:
• Program the FOSC<1:0> bits in the Configuration Words to select an external clock source that will be used as the default system clock upon a device Reset.
• Write the SCS<1:0> bits in the OSCCON register to switch the system clock source to:
- Secondary oscillator during run-time, or
- An external clock source determined by the
value of the FOSC bits.
See Section 5.3 “Clock Switching” for more informa- tion.
FIGURE 5-2: EXTERNAL CLOCK (EC)
MODE OPERATION
5.2.1.1 EC Mode
The External Clock (EC) mode allows an externally generated logic level signal to be the system clock source. When operating in this mode, an external clock source is connected to the OSC1 input. OSC2/CLKOUT is available for general purpose I/O or CLKOUT. Figure 5-2 shows the pin connections for EC mode.
EC mode has three power modes to select from through
OSC bits in the Configuration Words:

• ECM – Medium-power, 0.5-4 MHz
• ECL – Low-power, 0-0.5 MHz
DS40001607C-page 44 2011-2014 Microchip Technology Inc.
PIC16(L)F1503
5.2.2 INTERNAL CLOCK SOURCES
The device may be configured to use the internal oscil­lator block as the system clock by performing one of the following actions:
• Program the FOSC<1:0> bits in Configuration Words to select the INTOSC clock source, which will be used as the default system clock upon a device Reset.
• Write the SCS<1:0> bits in the OSCCON register to switch the system clock source to the internal oscillator during run-time. See Section 5.3
“Clock Switching”for more information.
In INTOSC mode, CLKIN is available for general purpose I/O. CLKOUT is available for general purpose I/O or CLKOUT.
The function of the CLKOUT pin is determined by the CLKOUTEN
The internal oscillator block has two independent oscillators that provides the internal system clock source.
1. The HFINTOSC (High-Frequency Internal
Oscillator) is factory calibrated and operates at 16 MHz.
2. The LFINTOSC (Low-Frequency Internal
Oscillator) operates at 31 kHz.
bit in Configuration Words.
5.2.2.1 HFINTOSC
The High-Frequency Internal Oscillator (HFINTOSC) is a factory calibrated 16 MHz internal clock source.
The output of the HFINTOSC connects to a postscaler and multiplexer (see Figure 5-1). The frequency derived from the HFINTOSC can be selected via software using the IRCF<3:0> bits of the OSCCON register. See
Section 5.2.2.6 “Internal Oscillator Clock Switch Timing” for more information.
The HFINTOSC is enabled by:
• Configure the IRCF<3:0> bits of the OSCCON register for the desired HF frequency, and
•FOSC<1:0> = 00, or
• Set the System Clock Source (SCS) bits of the OSCCON register to ‘1x’.
A fast start-up oscillator allows internal circuits to power-up and stabilize before switching to HFINTOSC.
The High-Frequency Internal Oscillator Ready bit (HFIOFR) of the OSCSTAT register indicates when the HFINTOSC is running.
The High-Frequency Internal Oscillator Stable bit (HFIOFS) of the OSCSTAT register indicates when the HFINTOSC is running within 0.5% of its final value.
5.2.2.2 LFINTOSC
The Low-Frequency Internal Oscillator (LFINTOSC) is a 31 kHz internal clock source.
The output of the LFINTOSC connects to a multiplexer (see Figure 5-1). Select 31 kHz, via software, using the IRCF<3:0> bits of the OSCCON register. See
Section 5.2.2.6 “Internal Oscillator Clock Switch Timing” for more information. The LFINTOSC is also
the frequency for the Power-up Timer (PWRT) and the, Watchdog Timer (WDT).
The LFINTOSC is enabled by selecting 31 kHz (IRCF<3:0> bits of the OSCCON register = 000) as the system clock source (SCS bits of the OSCCON register = 1x), or when any of the following are enabled:
• Configure the IRCF<3:0> bits of the OSCCON register for the desired LF frequency, and
•FOSC<1:0> = 00, or
• Set the System Clock Source (SCS) bits of the OSCCON register to ‘1x’.
Peripherals that use the LFINTOSC are:
• Power-up Timer (PWRT)
• Watchdog Timer (WDT)
The Low-Frequency Internal Oscillator Ready bit (LFIOFR) of the OSCSTAT register indicates when the LFINTOSC is running.
5.2.2.3 FRC
The FRC clock is an uncalibrated, nominal 600 kHz peripheral clock source.
The FRC is automatically turned on by the peripherals requesting the FRC clock.
The FRC clock continues to run during Sleep.

5.2.2.5 Internal Oscillator Frequency Selection
The system clock speed can be selected via software using the Internal Oscillator Frequency Select bits IRCF<3:0> of the OSCCON register.
The postscaled output of the 16 MHz HFINTOSC and 31 kHz LFINTOSC connect to a multiplexer (see
Figure 5-1). The Internal Oscillator Frequency Select
bits IRCF<3:0> of the OSCCON register (Register 5-1) select the frequency output of the internal oscillators.
Note: Following any Reset, the IRCF<3:0> bits
of the OSCCON register are set to ‘0111’ and the frequency selection is set to 500 kHz. The user can modify the IRCF bits to select a different frequency.
The IRCF<3:0> bits of the OSCCON register allow duplicate selections for some frequencies. These dupli­cate choices can offer system design trade-offs. Lower power consumption can be obtained when changing oscillator sources for a given frequency. Faster transi­tion times can be obtained between frequency changes that use the same oscillator source.
5.2.2.6 Internal Oscillator Clock Switch Timing
When switching between the HFINTOSC and the LFINTOSC, the new oscillator may already be shut down to save power (see Figure 5-3). If this is the case, there is a delay after the IRCF<3:0> bits of the OSCCON register are modified before the frequency selection takes place. The OSCSTAT register will reflect the current active status of the HFINTOSC and LFINTOSC oscillators. The sequence of a frequency selection is as follows:
1. IRCF<3:0> 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. The current clock is held low and the clock
switch circuitry waits for a rising edge in the new clock.
5. The new clock is now active.
6. The OSCSTAT register is updated as required.
7. Clock switch is complete.
See Figure 5-3 for more details.
If the internal oscillator speed is switched between two clocks of the same source, there is no start-up delay before the new frequency is selected. Clock switching time delays are shown in Table 5-2.
Start-up delay specifications are located in Table 28-7, “Oscillator Parameters”.

5.3 Clock Switching

The system clock source can be switched between external and internal clock sources via software using the System Clock Select (SCS) bits of the OSCCON register. The following clock sources can be selected using the SCS bits:
• Default system oscillator determined by FOSC bits in Configuration Words
• Internal Oscillator Block (INTOSC)
5.3.1 SYSTEM CLOCK SELECT (SCS)
BITS
The System Clock Select (SCS) bits of the OSCCON register selects the system clock source that is used for the CPU and peripherals.
• When the SCS bits of the OSCCON register = 00, the system clock source is determined by value of the FOSC<1:0> bits in the Configuration Words.
• When the SCS bits of the OSCCON register = 01, the system clock source is the secondary oscillator.
• When the SCS bits of the OSCCON register = 1x, the system clock source is chosen by the internal oscillator frequency selected by the IRCF<3:0> bits of the OSCCON register. After a Reset, the SCS bits of the OSCCON register are always cleared.
When switching between clock sources, a delay is required to allow the new clock to stabilize. These oscil­lator delays are shown in Tab l e 5 -2 .

6.1 Power-On Reset (POR)

The POR circuit holds the device in Reset until VDD has reached an acceptable level for minimum operation. Slow rising V performance may require greater than minimum V The PWRT, BOR or MCLR extend the start-up period until all device operation conditions have been met.
6.1.1 POWER-UP TIMER (PWRT)
The Power-up Timer provides a nominal 64 ms time-out on POR or Brown-out Reset.
The device is held in Reset as long as PWRT is active. The PWRT delay allows additional time for the V rise to an acceptable level. The Power-up Timer is enabled by clearing the PWRTE bit in Configuration Words.
The Power-up Timer starts after the release of the POR and BOR.

6.2 Brown-Out Reset (BOR)

The BOR circuit holds the device in Reset when VDD reaches a selectable minimum level. Between the POR and BOR, complete voltage range coverage for execution protection can be implemented.
The Brown-out Reset module has four operating modes controlled by the BOREN<1:0> bits in Configu­ration Words. The four operating modes are:
• BOR is always on
• BOR is off when in Sleep
• BOR is controlled by software
• BOR is always off
Refer to Tab le 6- 1 for more information.
The Brown-out Reset voltage level is selectable by configuring the BORV bit in Configuration Words.

6.4 Low-Power Brown-Out Reset (LPBOR)

The Low-Power Brown-Out Reset (LPBOR) operates like the BOR to detect low voltage conditions on the VDD pin. When too low of a voltage is detected, the device is held in Reset. When this occurs, a register bit (BOR) is changed to indicate that a BOR Reset has occurred. The BOR bit in PCON is used for both BOR and the LPBOR. Refer to Register 6-2.
The LPBOR voltage threshold (Lapboard) has a wider tolerance than the BOR (Vpor), but requires much less current (LPBOR current) to operate. The LPBOR is intended for use when the BOR is configured as dis­abled (BOREN = 00) or disabled in Sleep mode (BOREN = 10).
Refer to Figure 6-1 to see how the LPBOR interacts with other modules.
6.4.1 ENABLING LPBOR
The LPBOR is controlled by the LPBOR bit of Configuration Words. When the device is erased, the LPBOR module defaults to disabled.

6.5 MCLR

The MCLR is an optional external input that can reset the device. The MCLR MCLRE bit of Configuration Words and the LVP bit of Configuration Words (Table 6-2).

A RESET instruction will cause a device Reset. The RI bit in the PCON register will be set to ‘0’. See Ta b le 6 - 4 for default conditions after a RESET instruction has occurred.

6.8 Stack Overflow/Underflow Reset

The device can reset when the Stack Overflows or Underflows. The STKOVF or STKUNF bits of the PCON register indicate the Reset condition. These Resets are enabled by setting the STVREN bit in Configuration Words. See Section 3.4.2 “Overflow/Underflow
Reset” for more information.

The interrupt feature allows certain events to preempt normal program flow. Firmware is used to determine the source of the interrupt and act accordingly. Some interrupts can be configured to wake the MCU from Sleep mode.
This chapter contains the following information for Interrupts:
• Operation
• Interrupt Latency
• Interrupts During Sleep
•INT Pin
• Automatic Context Saving
Many peripherals produce interrupts. Refer to the corresponding chapters for details.
A block diagram of the interrupt logic is shown in
Figure 7-1.

FIGURE 7-1: INTERRUPT LOGIC

PIC16(L)F1503
2011-2014 Microchip Technology Inc. DS40001607C-page 59
PIC16(L)F1503

7.1 Operation

Interrupts are disabled upon any device Reset. They are enabled by setting the following bits:
• GIE bit of the INTCON register
• Interrupt Enable bit(s) for the specific interrupt
event(s)
• PEIE bit of the INTCON register (if the Interrupt
Enable bit of the interrupt event is contained in the PIE1, PIE2 and PIE3 registers)
The INTCON, PIR1, PIR2 and PIR3 registers record individual interrupts via interrupt flag bits. Interrupt flag bits will be set, regardless of the status of the GIE, PEIE and individual interrupt enable bits.
The following events happen when an interrupt event occurs while the GIE bit is set:
• Current prefetched instruction is flushed
• GIE bit is cleared
• Current Program Counter (PC) is pushed onto the
stack
• Critical registers are automatically saved to the
shadow registers (See Section 7.5 “Automatic
Context Saving”.”)
• PC is loaded with the interrupt vector 0004h
The firmware within the Interrupt Service Routine (ISR) should determine the source of the interrupt by polling the interrupt flag bits. The interrupt flag bits must be cleared before exiting the ISR to avoid repeated interrupts. Because the GIE bit is cleared, any interrupt that occurs while executing the ISR will be recorded through its interrupt flag, but will not cause the processor to redirect to the interrupt vector.
The RETFIE instruction exits the ISR by popping the previous address from the stack, restoring the saved context from the shadow registers and setting the GIE bit.
For additional information on a specific interrupt’s operation, refer to its peripheral chapter.

7.2 Interrupt Latency

Interrupt latency is defined as the time from when the interrupt event occurs to the time code execution at the interrupt vector begins. The latency for synchronous interrupts is three or four instruction cycles. For asynchronous interrupts, the latency is three to five instruction cycles, depending on when the interrupt occurs. See Figure 7-2 and Figure 7-3 for more details.
Note 1: Individual interrupt flag bits are set,
regardless of the state of any other enable bits.
2: All interrupts will be ignored while the GIE
bit is cleared. Any interrupt occurring while the GIE bit is clear will be serviced when the GIE bit is set again.

7.3 Interrupts During Sleep

Some interrupts can be used to wake from Sleep. To wake from Sleep, the peripheral must be able to operate without the system clock. The interrupt source must have the appropriate Interrupt Enable bit(s) set prior to entering Sleep.
On waking from Sleep, if the GIE bit is also set, the processor will branch to the interrupt vector. Otherwise, the processor will continue executing instructions after the SLEEP instruction. The instruction directly after the SLEEP instruction will always be executed before branching to the ISR. Refer to Section 8.0 “Power-
Down Mode (Sleep)” for more details.

7.4 INT Pin

The INT pin can be used to generate an asynchronous edge-triggered interrupt. This interrupt is enabled by setting the INTE bit of the INTCON register. The INTEDG bit of the OPTION_REG register determines on which edge the interrupt will occur. When the INTEDG bit is set, the rising edge will cause the interrupt. When the INTEDG bit is clear, the falling edge will cause the interrupt. The INTF bit of the INTCON register will be set when a valid edge appears on the INT pin. If the GIE and INTE bits are also set, the processor will redirect program execution to the interrupt vector.
PIC16(L)F1503

7.5 Automatic Context Saving

Upon entering an interrupt, the return PC address is saved on the stack. Additionally, the following registers are automatically saved in the shadow registers:
• W register
• STATUS register (except for TO
• BSR register
• FSR registers
• PCLATH register
Upon exiting the Interrupt Service Routine, these regis­ters are automatically restored. Any modifications to these registers during the ISR will be lost. If modifica­tions to any of these registers are desired, the corre­sponding shadow register should be modified and the value will be restored when exiting the ISR. The shadow registers are available in Bank 31 and are readable and writable. Depending on the user’s appli­cation, other registers may also need to be saved.

8.0 POWER-DOWN MODE (SLEEP)

The Power-down mode is entered by executing a SLEEP instruction.
Upon entering Sleep mode, the following conditions exist:
1. WDT will be cleared but keeps running, if
enabled for operation during Sleep.
2. PD
bit of the STATUS register is cleared.
3. TO bit of the STATUS register is set.
4. CPU clock is disabled.
5. 31 kHz LFINTOSC is unaffected and peripherals
that operate from it may continue operation in Sleep.
6. Timer1 and peripherals that operate from
Timer1 continue operation in Sleep when the Timer1 clock source selected is:
•LFINTOSC
•T1CKI
7. ADC is unaffected, if the dedicated FRC oscillator
is selected.
8. I/O ports maintain the status they had before
SLEEP was executed (driving high, low or high­impedance).
9. Resets other than WDT are not affected by
Sleep mode.
Refer to individual chapters for more details on peripheral operation during Sleep.
To minimize current consumption, the following conditions should be considered:
• I/O pins should not be floating
• External circuitry sinking current from I/O pins
• Internal circuitry sourcing current from I/O pins
• Current draw from pins with internal weak pull-ups
• Modules using 31 kHz LFINTOSC
• CWG, NCO and CLC modules using HFINTOSC
I/O pins that are high-impedance inputs should be pulled to V currents caused by floating inputs.
Examples of internal circuitry that might be sourcing current include the FVR module. See Section 13.0
“Fixed Voltage Reference (FVR)” for more
information on this module.

8.1 Wake-up from Sleep

The device can wake-up from Sleep through one of the following events:
1. External Reset input on MCLR
2. BOR Reset, if enabled
3. POR Reset
4. Watchdog Timer, if enabled
5. Any external interrupt
6. Interrupts by peripherals capable of running
during Sleep (see individual peripheral for more information)
DD or VSS externally to avoid switching
pin, if enabled
The first three events will cause a device Reset. The last three events are considered a continuation of pro­gram execution. To determine whether a device Reset or wake-up event occurred, refer to Section 6.12
“Determining the Cause of a Reset”.
When the SLEEP instruction is being executed, the next instruction (PC + 1) is prefetched. For the device to wake-up through an interrupt event, the corresponding interrupt enable bit must be enabled. Wake-up will occur regardless of the state of the GIE bit. If the GIE bit is disabled, the device continues execution at the instruction after the SLEEP instruction. If the GIE bit is enabled, the device executes the instruction after the SLEEP instruction, the device will then call the Interrupt Service Routine. 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.
8.1.1 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
- SLEEP instruction will execute as a NOP.
- WDT and WDT prescaler will not be cleared
bit of the STATUS register will not be set
-TO
-PD bit of the STATUS register will not be
cleared.
• If the interrupt occurs during or after the execu- tion of a SLEEP instruction
- SLEEP instruction will be completely
executed
- Device will immediately wake-up from Sleep
- WDT and WDT prescaler will be cleared
bit of the STATUS register will be set
-TO
-PD bit of the STATUS register will be cleared
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
bit. If the PD bit is set, the SLEEP instruction
the PD was executed as a NOP.

PIC16(L)F1503

8.2 Low-Power Sleep Mode

This device contains an internal Low Dropout (LDO) voltage regulator, which allows the device I/O pins to operate at voltages up to 5.5V while the internal device logic operates at a lower voltage. The LDO and its associated reference circuitry must remain active when the device is in Sleep mode.
Low-Power Sleep mode allows the user to optimize the operating current in Sleep. Low-Power Sleep mode can be selected by setting the VREGPM bit of the VREGCON register, putting the LDO and reference circuitry in a low-power state whenever the device is in Sleep.
8.2.1 SLEEP CURRENT VS. WAKE-UP TIME
In the Default Operating mode, the LDO and reference circuitry remain in the normal configuration while in Sleep. The device is able to exit Sleep mode quickly since all circuits remain active. In Low-Power Sleep mode, when waking up from Sleep, an extra delay time is required for these circuits to return to the normal con­figuration and stabilize.
The Low-Power Sleep mode is beneficial for applica­tions that stay in Sleep mode for long periods of time. The Normal mode is beneficial for applications that need to wake from Sleep quickly and frequently.
8.2.2 PERIPHERAL USAGE IN SLEEP
Some peripherals that can operate in Sleep mode will not operate properly with the Low-Power Sleep mode selected. The LDO will remain in the Normal-Power mode when those peripherals are enabled. The Low­Power Sleep mode is intended for use with these peripherals:
• Brown-Out Reset (BOR)
• Watchdog Timer (WDT)
• External interrupt pin/Interrupt-on-change pins
• Timer1 (with external clock source)
The Complementary Waveform Generator (CWG), the Numerically Controlled Oscillator (NCO) and the Con­figurable Logic Cell (CLC) modules can utilize the HFINTOSC oscillator as either a clock source or as an input source. Under certain conditions, when the HFINTOSC is selected for use with the CWG, NCO or CLC modules, the HFINTOSC will remain active during Sleep. This will have a direct effect on the Sleep mode current.
Please refer to sections Section 23.5 “Operation
During Sleep”, 24.7 “Operation In Sleep” and 25.10 “Operation During Sleep” for more information.
Note: The PIC16LF1503 does not have a con-
figurable Low-Power Sleep mode. PIC16LF1503 is an unregulated device and is always in the lowest power state when in Sleep, with no wake-up time pen­alty. This device has a lower maximum
DD and I/O voltage than the
V PIC16F1503. See Section 28.0 “Electri-
cal Specifications” for more information.

The Watchdog Timer is a system timer that generates a Reset if the firmware does not issue a CLRWDT instruction within the time-out period. The Watchdog Timer is typically used to recover the system from unexpected events.
The WDT has the following features:
• Independent clock source
• Multiple operating modes
- WDT is always on
- WDT is off when in Sleep
- WDT is controlled by software
- WDT is always off
• Configurable time-out period is from 1 ms to 256
seconds (nominal)
• Multiple Reset conditions
• Operation during Sleep

PIC16(L)F1503

9.1 Independent Clock Source

The WDT derives its time base from the 31 kHz LFINTOSC internal oscillator. Time intervals in this chapter are based on a nominal interval of 1 ms. See
Section 28.0 “Electrical Specifications” for the
LFINTOSC tolerances.

9.2 WDT Operating Modes

The Watchdog Timer module has four operating modes controlled by the WDTE<1:0> bits in Configuration Words. See Ta bl e 9 - 1 .
9.2.1 WDT IS ALWAYS ON
When the WDTE bits of Configuration Words are set to ‘11’, the WDT is always on.
WDT protection is active during Sleep.
9.2.2 WDT IS OFF IN SLEEP
When the WDTE bits of Configuration Words are set to ‘10’, the WDT is on, except in Sleep.
WDT protection is not active during Sleep.
9.2.3 WDT CONTROLLED BY SOFTWARE
When the WDTE bits of Configuration Words are set to ‘01’, the WDT is controlled by the SWDTEN bit of the WDTCON register.
WDT protection is unchanged by Sleep. See Table 9-1 for more details.

TABLE 9-1: WDT OPERATING MODES

WDTE<1:0> SWDTEN
Device

9.3 Time-Out Period

The WDTPS bits of the WDTCON register set the time-out period from 1 ms to 256 seconds (nominal). After a Reset, the default time-out period is two seconds.

9.4 Clearing the WDT

The WDT is cleared when any of the following condi­tions occur:
•Any Reset
CLRWDT instruction is executed
• Device enters Sleep
• Device wakes up from Sleep
• Oscillator fail
• WDT is disabled
See Table 9-2 for more information.

9.5 Operation During Sleep

When the device enters Sleep, the WDT is cleared. If the WDT is enabled during Sleep, the WDT resumes counting. When the device exits Sleep, the WDT is cleared again.
When a WDT time-out occurs while the device is in Sleep, no Reset is generated. Instead, the device wakes up and resumes operation. The TO in the STATUS register are changed to indicate the event. The RWDT bit in the PCON register can also be used. See Section 3.0 “Memory Organization” for more information.

10.0 FLASH PROGRAM MEMORY
CONTROL
The Flash program memory is readable and writable during normal operation over the full V Program memory is indirectly addressed using Special Function Registers (SFRs). The SFRs used to access program memory are:
•PMCON1
•PMCON2
•PMDATL
•PMDATH
• PMADRL
•PMADRH
When accessing the program memory, the PMDATH:PMDATL register pair forms a 2-byte word that holds the 14-bit data for read/write, and the PMADRH:PMADRL register pair forms a 2-byte word that holds the 15-bit address of the program memory location being read.
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 operating voltage range of the device.
The Flash program memory can be protected in two ways; by code protection (CP and write protection (WRT<1:0> bits in Configuration Words).
Code protection (CP and writing, to the Flash program memory via external device programmers. Code protection does not affect the self-write and erase functionality. Code protection can only be reset by a device programmer performing a Bulk Erase to the device, clearing all Flash program memory, Configuration bits and User IDs.
Write protection prohibits self-write and erase to a portion or all of the Flash program memory, as defined by the bits WRT<1:0>. Write protection does not affect a device programmers ability to read, write or erase the device.
Note 1: Code protection of the entire Flash
program memory array is enabled by clearing the CP
bit in Configuration Words)
(1)

, disables access, reading

10.1 PMADRL and PMADRH Registers

The PMADRH:PMADRL register pair can address up to a maximum of 32K words of program memory. When selecting a program address value, the MSB of the address is written to the PMADRH register and the LSB is written to the PMADRL register.
DD range.
10.1.1 PMCON1 AND PMCON2 REGISTERS
PMCON1 is the control register for Flash program memory accesses.
Control bits RD and WR initiate read and write, respectively. These bits cannot be cleared, only set, in software. They are cleared by 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 occur. On power-up, the WREN bit is clear. The WRERR bit is set when a write operation is interrupted by a Reset during normal operation. In these situations, following Reset, the user can check the WRERR bit and execute the appropriate error handling routine.
The PMCON2 register is a write-only register. Attempting to read the PMCON2 register will return all ‘0’s.
To enable writes to the program memory, a specific pattern (the unlock sequence), must be written to the PMCON2 register. The required unlock sequence prevents inadvertent writes to the program memory write latches and Flash program memory.

10.2 Flash Program Memory Overview

It is important to understand the Flash program memory structure for erase and programming operations. Flash program memory is arranged in rows. A row consists of a fixed number of 14-bit program memory words. A row is the minimum size that can be erased by user software.
After a row has been erased, the user can reprogram all or a portion of this row. Data to be written into the program memory row is written to 14-bit wide data write latches. These write latches are not directly accessible to the user, but may be loaded via sequential writes to the PMDATH:PMDATL register pair.
Note: If the user wants to modify only a portion
of a previously programmed row, then the contents of the entire row must be read and saved in RAM prior to the erase. Then, new data and retained data can be written into the write latches to reprogram the row of Flash program memory. How­ever, any unprogrammed locations can be written without first erasing the row. In this case, it is not necessary to save and rewrite the other previously programmed locations.
See Table 10-1 for Erase Row size and the number of write latches for Flash program memory.

10.2.1 READING THE FLASH PROGRAM MEMORY
To read a program memory location, the user must:
1. Write the desired address to the
PMADRH:PMADRL register pair.
2. Clear the CFGS bit of the PMCON1 register.
3. Then, set control bit RD of the PMCON1 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 immediately following the “BSF PMCON1,RD” instruction to be ignored. The data is available in the very next cycle, in the PMDATH:PMDATL register pair; therefore, it can be read as two bytes in the following instructions.
PMDATH:PMDATL register pair will hold this value until another read or until it is written to by the user.
Note: The two instructions following a program
memory read are required to be NOPs. This prevents the user from executing a 2-cycle instruction on the next instruction after the RD bit is set.

10.2.2 FLASH MEMORY UNLOCK SEQUENCE
The unlock sequence is a mechanism that protects the Flash program memory from unintended self-write pro­gramming or erasing. The sequence must be executed and completed without interruption to successfully complete any of the following operations:
•Row Erase
• Load program memory write latches
• Write of program memory write latches to
program memory
• Write of program memory write latches to User
IDs
The unlock sequence consists of the following steps:
1. Write 55h to PMCON2
2. Write AAh to PMCON2
3. Set the WR bit in PMCON1
4. NOP instruction
5. NOP instruction
Once the WR bit is set, the processor will always force two NOP instructions. When an Erase Row or Program Row operation is being performed, the processor will stall internal operations (typical 2 ms), until the operation is complete and then resume with the next instruction. When the operation is loading the program memory write latches, the processor will always force the two NOP instructions and continue uninterrupted with the next instruction.
Since the unlock sequence must not be interrupted, global interrupts should be disabled prior to the unlock sequence and re-enabled after the unlock sequence is completed.

10.2.3 ERASING FLASH PROGRAM MEMORY
While executing code, program memory can only be erased by rows. To erase a row:
1. Load the PMADRH:PMADRL register pair with
any address within the row to be erased.
2. Clear the CFGS bit of the PMCON1 register.
3. Set the FREE and WREN bits of the PMCON1
register.
4. Write 55h, then AAh, to PMCON2 (Flash
programming unlock sequence).
5. Set control bit WR of the PMCON1 register to
begin the erase operation.
See Example 10-2.
After the “BSF PMCON1,WR” instruction, the processor requires two cycles to set up the erase operation. The user must place two NOP instructions immediately fol­lowing the WR bit set instruction. The processor will halt internal operations for the typical 2 ms erase time. This is not Sleep mode as the clocks and peripherals will continue to run. After the erase cycle, the processor will resume operation with the third instruction after the PMCON1 write instruction.

10.2.4 WRITING TO FLASH PROGRAM MEMORY
Program memory is programmed using the following steps:
1. Load the address in PMADRH:PMADRL of the
row to be programmed.
2. Load each write latch with data.
3. Initiate a programming operation.
4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 until all data is written.
Before writing to program memory, the word(s) to be written must be erased or previously unwritten. Pro­gram memory can only be erased one row at a time. No automatic erase occurs upon the initiation of the write.
Program memory can be written one or more words at a time. The maximum number of words written at one time is equal to the number of write latches. See
Figure 10-5 (row writes to program memory with 16
write latches) for more details.
The write latches are aligned to the Flash row address boundary defined by the upper 10-bits of PMADRH:PMADRL, (PMADRH<6:0>:PMADRL<7:5>) with the lower five bits of PMADRL, (PMADRL<4:0>) determining the write latch being loaded. Write opera­tions do not cross these boundaries. At the completion of a program memory write operation, the data in the write latches is reset to contain 0x3FFF.
The following steps should be completed to load the write latches and program a row of program memory. These steps are divided into two parts. First, each write latch is loaded with data from the PMDATH:PMDATL using the unlock sequence with LWLO = 1. When the last word to be loaded into the write latch is ready, the LWLO bit is cleared and the unlock sequence executed. This initiates the programming operation, writing all the latches into Flash program memory.
Note: The special unlock sequence is required
to load a write latch with data or initiate a Flash programming operation. If the unlock sequence is interrupted, writing to the latches or program memory will not be initiated.
1. Set the WREN bit of the PMCON1 register.
2. Clear the CFGS bit of the PMCON1 register.
3. Set the LWLO bit of the PMCON1 register. When the LWLO bit of the PMCON1 register is ‘1’, the write sequence will only load the write latches and will not initiate the write to Flash program memory.
4. Load the PMADRH:PMADRL register pair with the address of the location to be written.
5. Load the PMDATH:PMDATL register pair with the program memory data to be written.
6. Execute the unlock sequence (Section 10.2.2
“Flash Memory Unlock Sequence”). The write
latch is now loaded.
7. Increment the PMADRH:PMADRL register pair to point to the next location.
8. Repeat steps 5 through 7 until all but the last write latch has been loaded.
9. Clear the LWLO bit of the PMCON1 register. When the LWLO bit of the PMCON1 register is ‘0’, the write sequence will initiate the write to Flash program memory.
10. Load the PMDATH:PMDATL register pair with the program memory data to be written.
11. Execute the unlock sequence (Section 10.2.2
“Flash Memory Unlock Sequence”). The
entire program memory latch content is now written to Flash program memory.
Note: The program memory write latches are
reset to the blank state (0x3FFF) at the completion of every write or erase operation. As a result, it is not necessary to load all the program memory write latches. Unloaded latches will remain in the blank state.
An example of the complete write sequence is shown in
Example 10-3. The initial address is loaded into the
PMADRH:PMADRL register pair; the data is loaded using indirect addressing.

10.3 Modifying Flash Program Memory

When modifying existing data in a program memory row, and data within that row must be preserved, it must first be read and saved in a RAM image. Program memory is modified using the following steps:
1. Load the starting address of the row to be modified.
2. Read the existing data from the row into a RAM image.
3. Modify the RAM image to contain the new data to be written into program memory.
4. Load the starting address of the row to be rewritten.
5. Erase the program memory row.
6. Load the write latches with data from the RAM image.
7. Initiate a programming operation.

This is the region that would be pointed to by PC<15> = 1, but not all addresses are accessible. Different access may exist for reads and writes. Refer to Tab le 1 0- 2.
When read access is initiated on an address outside the parameters listed in Tab le 1 0- 2, the PMDATH:PMDATL register pair is cleared, reading back ‘0’s.

It is considered good programming practice to verify that program memory writes agree with the intended value. Since program memory is stored as a full page then the stored program memory contents are compared with the intended data stored in RAM after the last write is complete.

11.0 I/O PORTS

Each port has three standard registers for its operation. These registers are:
• TRISx registers (data direction)
• PORTx registers (reads the levels on the pins of the device)
• LATx registers (output latch)
Some ports may have one or more of the following additional registers. These registers are:
• ANSELx (analog select)
• WPUx (weak pull-up)
In general, when a peripheral is enabled on a port pin, that pin cannot be used as a general purpose output. However, the pin can still be read.
TABLE 11-1: PORT AVAILABILITY PER
DEVICE
Device
PORTB
PORTC
PORTA
PIC16(L)F1503 ●●
The Data Latch (LATx registers) is useful for read-modify-write operations on the value that the I/O pins are driving.
A write operation to the LATx register has the same effect as a write to the corresponding PORTx register. A read of the LATx register reads of the values held in the I/O PORT latches, while a read of the PORTx register reads the actual I/O pin value.
Ports that support analog inputs have an associated ANSELx register. When an ANSEL bit is set, the digital input buffer associated with that bit is disabled. Disabling the input buffer prevents analog signal levels on the pin between a logic high and low from causing excessive current in the logic input circuitry. A simplified model of a generic I/O port, without the interfaces to other peripherals, is shown in Figure 11-1.

11.1 Alternate Pin Function

The Alternate Pin Function Control (APFCON) register is used to steer specific peripheral input and output functions between different pins. The APFCON register is shown in Register 11-1. For this device family, the following functions can be moved between different pins.
SS
•T1G
•CLC1
• NCO1
• SDOSEL
These bits have no effect on the values of any TRIS register. PORT and TRIS overrides will be routed to the correct pin. The unselected pin will be unaffected.

11.3 PORTA Registers

11.3.1 DATA REGISTER
PORTA is a 6-bit wide, bidirectional port. The corresponding data direction register is TRISA (Register 11-3). Setting a TRISA bit (= 1) will make the corresponding PORTA pin an input (i.e., disable the output driver). Clearing a TRISA bit (= 0) will make the corresponding PORTA pin an output (i.e., enables output driver and puts the contents of the output latch on the selected pin). The exception is RA3, which is input-only and its TRIS bit will always read as ‘1’.
Example 11-1 shows how to initialize an I/O port.
Reading the PORTA register (Register 11-2) 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 implies that the port pins are read, this value is modified and then written to the PORT data latch (LATA).
11.3.2 DIRECTION CONTROL
The TRISA register (Register 11-3) controls the PORTA pin output drivers, even when they are being used as analog inputs. The user should ensure the bits in the TRISA register are maintained set when using them as analog inputs. I/O pins configured as analog input always read ‘0’.
11.3.3 ANALOG CONTROL
The ANSELA register (Register 11-5) is used to configure the Input mode of an I/O pin to analog. Setting the appropriate ANSELA 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 ANSELA bits has no effect on digital output 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.
11.3.4 PORTA FUNCTIONS AND OUTPUT PRIORITIES
Each PORTA pin is multiplexed with other functions. The pins, their combined functions and their output priorities are shown in Table 11-2.
When multiple outputs are enabled, the actual pin control goes to the peripheral with the highest priority.
Analog input functions, such as ADC and comparator inputs, are not shown in the priority lists. These inputs are active when the I/O pin is set for Analog mode using the ANSELx registers. Digital output functions may control the pin when it is in Analog mode with the priority shown below in Table 11-2.
