2.0 MEMORY ORGANIZATION

There are three memory blocks in each of the PIC16F87X MCUs. The Program Memory and Data Memory have separate buses so that concurrent access can oc cur and is detailed in this section. The EEPROM data memory bl ock is detailed in Se ction 4.0.
Additional informa tion on devi ce memory may be found in the PIC (DS33023).

MEMORY MAP AND STACK

2.1 Program Memory Organization

The PIC16F87X devic es have a 13-b it program count er capable of addressing an 8K x 14 program memory space. The PIC16F877/876 devices have 8K x 14 words of FLASH program memory, and the PIC16F873/874 devices have 4K x 14. Accessing a location above the ph ysicall y implem ented addres s will cause a wraparound.
The RESET vector is at 0000h and the interrupt vector is at 0004h.

PIC16F87X

2.2 Data Memory Organization

The data memory is partitioned into multiple banks which contain the General Purpose Registers and the Special Function Registers. Bits RP1 (STATUS<6>) and RP0 (STATUS<5>) are the bank select bits.
RP1:RP0 Bank
00 0 01 1 10 2
11 3
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 Gener al Purpose Registers, implemented as static RAM. All implemented banks contain Special Function Registers. Some frequently used Special Function Registers from one bank may be mirrored in another bank for code reduction and quicker access.
Note: EEPROM Data Memory de scription can b e
found in Section 4.0 of this data sheet.

2.2.1 GENERAL PURPOSE REGISTER FILE

The register file can be acces sed either directly, or indi­rectly through the File Select Register (FSR).

2.2.2 SPECIAL FUNCTION REGISTERS

The Special Function Registers are registers used by the CPU and peripheral modules for controlling the desired operation of the device. These registers are implemented as static RAM. A list of these registers is given in Table 2-1.
The Special Function Registers can be classified into two sets: core (CPU) and peripheral. Those registers associated with the core functions are described in detail in this section. Those related to the operation of the peripheral features are described in detail in the peripheral features section.

2.2.2.1 STATUS Register
The STATUS register contains the arithmetic status of the ALU, the RESET statu s and the b ank sele ct bit s for data memory.
The STATUS register can be the destination for any instruction, as with 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 bit s are set or cleared ac cording to the device logic. Furthermore, the TO writable, therefore, the result of an instruction with the STATUS register as des tination ma y be different than intended.
and PD bits are not
For example, CLRF STATUS will clear the upper three bits and set t he Z bit. T his 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 the Z, C or D C bits from the ST ATUS register. For other instructions not affecting any status bits, see the “Instruction Set Summary."
Note: The C and DC bits operate as a borrow
and digit borrow bit, respectively, in sub­traction. See the SUBLW and SUBWF instructions for examples.

2.3 PCL and PCLATH

The program counter (PC) is 13-bits wid e. The low byte comes from the PCL register, which is a readable and writable register. The upper bits (PC<12:8>) are not readable, but are indirectly writable through the PCLA TH reg is ter. On any RESET, the upper bi t s of the PC will be cleared. Fig ure2-5 shows the two situations for the loading o f the PC. The up per ex ample in th e fig­ure shows how the PC is loaded on a write to PCL (PCLATH<4:0> PCH). The lower exam pl e i n th e fi g­ure shows how the PC is loaded during a CALL or GOTO instruction (PCLATH<4:3> PCH).
FIGURE 2-5: LOADING OF PC IN
DIFFERENT SITUATIONS

2.3.1 COMP UT ED GOTO

A computed GOTO is accomplish ed by adding an of fs et to the progr am counter (ADDWF PCL). When doing a table read using a computed GOTO method, care should be exercise d i f the t able loca tio n cros ses a PCL memory boundary (each 256 byte block). Refer to the application note, “Implementing a Table Read" (AN556).
Note 1: There are no status bits to indicate stack
overflow or stack underflow conditions.
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 instructions, or the vectoring to an inter­rupt address.

2.4 Program Memory Paging

All PIC16F87X 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 instruc­tion, the user must ensu re tha t the page select bit s are programmed so that the desired program memory page is addressed. If a return from a CALL instruction (or interrupt) is execute d, the entire 13-bit PC is popped off the stack. Therefore, manipulation of the PCLA TH<4:3> bits is not required for the return instruc­tions (which POPs the address from the stack).
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 regis­ter for any subsequent subroutine calls or GOTO instructions.
Example 2-1 shows the calling of a subroutine in page 1 of the prog ram memory. This example assumes that PCLATH is saved and restored by the Interrupt Service Routine
EXAMPLE 2-1: CALL OF A SUBROUTINE
(if interrupts are used).
IN PAGE 1 FROM PAGE 0

2.3.2 STACK

The PIC16F87X family has an 8-level deep x 13-bit wide hardware stack. 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. PCLA TH is not affected by a PUSH or POP operation.
The stack opera tes as a circular buf fer . This means that after the st ack h as be en PUSHed eigh t time s, th e nin th push overwrites the v alue tha t was stored fro m the first push. The tenth pus h ov erwrites the second p us h (an d so on).

2.5 Indirect Addressing, INDF and FSR Registers

The INDF register is not a physi cal register. Addressing the INDF register will cause indirect addressing.
Indirect addressing is possible by using the INDF reg­ister. Any instruc tion using the INDF register actual ly accesses the register pointed to by the File Sele ct Reg­ister, FSR. Reading the INDF register itself, indirectly (FSR = '0') will read 00h. Writing to the INDF register indirectly result s in a no op era tion (although status bits may be affected ). An eff ective 9- bit add ress is obt ained by concatenating the 8 -bit FSR regi ster and the IRP b it (STAT US<7>), as shown in Figure 2-6.
FIGURE 2-6: DIRECT/INDIRECT ADDRESSING
A simple program to clear RAM locations 20h-2Fh using indirect addressing is shown in Example 2-2.

3.1 PORTA and the TRISA Register

PORTA is a 6-bit wide, bi-directional port. The corre­sponding data direction register is TRISA. Setting a TRISA bit (= 1) wi ll make the correspondin g PORTA pin an input (i.e., put the corresponding output driver in a Hi-Impedance mode). Clearing a TRISA bit (= 0) will make the correspondin g POR TA pin an output (i.e., put the contents of the output latch on the selected pin).
Reading the PORTA register reads the status of the pins, whereas writing to i t 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, the value is modified and then written to the port data latch.
Pin RA4 is multiplexed with the Timer0 module clock input to become the RA4/T0CKI pin. The RA4/T0CKI pin is a Schmitt Trigger input and an open drain outpu t. All other PORTA pins have TTL input levels and full CMOS output drivers.
Other PORTA pins are multiplexed with analog inputs and analog V selected by clearing/setting the control bits in the ADCON1 register (A/D Control Register1).
Note: On a Power-on Reset, these pins are con-
The TRISA register controls the direction of the RA pins, even when they are be ing us ed as ana log inputs. The user must ensure the bits in the TRISA regi ster are maintained se t when using t hem as analog inputs.

3.2 PORTB and the TRISB Register

PORTB is an 8-bit wide, bi-directional port. The corre­sponding data direction register is TRISB. Setting a TRISB bit (= 1) will mak e the corresponding PORTB pin an input (i.e., put the corresponding output driver in a Hi-Impedance mode). Clearing a TRISB bit (= 0) will make the corresponding POR TB pin an output (i.e. , put the contents of the output latch on the selected pin).
Three pins of PORTB are multiplexed with the Low Voltage Programming function: RB3/PGM, RB6/PGC and RB7/PGD. The alternate functions of these pins are described in the S p ec ial Features Section.
Each of the PORTB pi ns has a w eak i nternal pul l-up. A single control bit can turn on all the pull-ups. This is per­formed by clearing bit RBPU 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.

This interrupt can wake the device from SLEEP. The user, in the Interrupt Service Routine, can clear the interrupt in the following manner:
a) Any read or write of PORTB. This will end the
mismatch condition.
b) Clear flag bit RBIF. A mismatch c ond it i on wi ll cont i n ue to s et f lag bi t RB IF.
Reading PORTB will end the mismatch condition and allow flag bit RBIF to be cleared.
The interrupt-on-change feature is recommended for wake-up on key depression operation and operations where PORTB is only used for the interrupt-on-change feature. Polling of PORTB is not recommended while using the interrupt-on-change feature.
This interrupt-on-mismatch feature, together with soft­ware configureable pull-ups on these four pins, allow easy interface to a keypad and make it possible for wake-up on key depression. Refer to the Embedded Control Handbook, “Implementing Wake-up on Key Strokes” (AN552).
RB0/INT is an ext ernal i nterrupt input pin a nd is confi g­ured using the INTEDG bit (OPTION_REG<6>).
RB0/INT is discussed in detail in Section 12.10.1.
Four of the PORTB pins, RB7:RB4, have an interrupt­on-change feature. Only pins configured as inputs can cause this interrupt to occur (i.e., any RB7:RB4 pin configured as an output is excluded from the interrupt­on-change comparison). The input pins (of RB7:RB4) are compared with the old value latched on the last read of PORTB. The “mismatch” outputs of RB7:RB4 are OR’ed together to generate the RB Port Change Interrupt with flag bit RBIF (INTCON<0>).

3.3 PORTC and the TRISC Register

PORTC is an 8-bit wide, bi-directional port. The corre­sponding data direction register is TRISC. Setting a TRISC bit (= 1) will make the corresponding PORTC pin an input (i.e., put the corresponding output driver in a Hi-Impedance mode). Clearing a TRISC bit (= 0) will make the correspondi ng PORTC pin an output (i.e., p ut the contents of the output latch on the selected pin).
PORTC is mul tiplexed with s everal peri pheral function s (Table 3-5). PORTC pins have Schmitt Trigger input buffers.
2
When the I pins can be configured with normal I SMBus levels by using the CKE bit (SSPSTAT<6>).
When enabling peripheral functions, care should be taken in defining TRIS bit s fo r each POR TC pin. Some peripherals override the TRIS bit to make a pin an out­put, while other peripherals override the TRIS bit to make a pin an input. Since the TRIS bit override is in effect while the peripheral is enabled, read-modify­write instructions (BSF, BCF, XORWF) with TRISC as destination, should be avoided. The user should refer to the corresponding peripheral section for the correct TRIS bit settings.

PORTD and TRISD are not implemented on the PIC16F873 or PIC16F876.
PORTD is an 8-bit port with Schmitt Trigger input buff­ers. Each pin is in dividually co nfigureable as a n input or output.
PORTD can be configured as an 8-bit wide micropro­cessor port (parallel slave p ort) by setting c ontrol bit PSPMODE (TRISE<4>). In this mode, the input buffe rs are TTL.

3.5 PORTE and TRISE Register

PORTE and TRISE are not implemented on the PIC16F873 or PIC16F876.
PORTE has three pins (RE0/RD and RE2/CS
/AN7) which are ind iv idu all y co nfi gure able as inputs or outputs. These pins have Schmitt Trigger input buffers.
The PORTE pins become the I/O control inputs for the microprocessor port when bit PSPMODE (TRISE<4>) is set. In this mode, the user must make certain that the TRISE<2:0> bits are set, and that the pins are configured as digital input s. Also ensure that ADCON1 is co nfigured for digital I/O. In this mo de, th e in put bu ffers are TTL.
Register 3-1 shows the TRISE register, which als o con­trols the parallel slave port operat ion.
PORTE pins are multiplexed with analog inputs. When selected for analog input, these pins will read as '0's.
TRISE controls the direction of the RE pins, even when they are being used as analog inputs. The user must make sure to keep the pins configured as inputs when using them as analog inputs.
Note: On a Power-on Reset, these pins are con-
figured as analog inputs, and read as ‘0’.

3.6 Parallel Slave Port

The Parallel Slave Port (PSP) is not implemented on the PIC16F873 or PIC16F876.
PORTD operates as an 8 -bit wide Parallel Slav e Port or microprocessor port, when control bit PSPMODE (TRISE<4>) is set. I n Sl av e mo de, it is asynchro nou sl y readable and writa ble by the ex ternal world throu gh RD control input pin RE0/RD and WR control input pin RE1/WR
The PSP can directly interfac e to an 8-bit m icroproce s­sor data bus. The external microprocessor can read or write the PORTD latch as an 8-bit latch. Setting bit PSPMODE enables port pin RE0/RD input, RE1/WR to be the WR input and RE2/CS to be the CS responding data direction bits of the TRISE register (TRISE<2:0>) must be configured as inputs (set). The A/D port configuration bits PCFG3:PCFG0 (ADCON1<3:0>) must be set to configure pins RE2:RE0 as digital I/O.
There are actually two 8-bit latches: one for data out­put, and one for data input. The user writes 8-bit data to the PORTD data latch and reads data from the port pin latch (note that they ha ve the same address). In thi s mode, the TRISD registe r is ignore d, since the externa l device is controlling the direction of data flow.
A write to the PSP occurs when both the CS lines are first detected low. When either the CS or WR lines become hi gh (level triggered ), the Input Buffe r Full (IBF) status flag bit (TRISE<7>) is set on the Q4 clock cycle, following the next Q2 cycle, to signal the write is complete (Figure 3-10). The interrupt flag bit PSPIF (PIR1<7>) is also set on the same Q4 clock cycle. IBF can only be cle are d b y re adi ng the PO R TD i npu t l atc h. The Input Buffer Overflow (IBOV) status flag bit (TRISE<5>) is set if a second write to the PSP is attempted w hen the pre vious byte has not bee n read out of the buffer.
A read from the PSP occurs when both the CS lines are first detected low. The Output Buffer Full (OBF) status flag bit (TRISE<6>) is cleared immedi­ately (Figure 3-11), indicating that the PORTD latch is waiting to be read by the ext ernal bus . When ei ther the CS rupt flag bit PSPIF is set on the Q4 clock cycle, follow­ing the next Q2 cycle, indicating that the read is complete. OBF remains low until data is written to PORTD by the user firmware.

When not in PSP mode, the IBF and OBF bits are hel d clear. However, if flag bit IBOV was previously set, it must be cleared in firmware.
An interrupt is generated and latched into flag bit PSPIF when a read or write operation is completed. PSPIF must be cleared by the user in fi rmware an d the interrupt can be disabled by clearing the interrupt enable bit PSPIE (PIE1<7>).

4.0 DATA EEPROM AND FLASH PROGRAM MEMORY

The Data EEPROM and FLASH Program Memory are readable and writab le during no rmal operati on over the entire V gle byte for Data EEPROM memory and a single word for Program memory. A write operation causes an erase-then-write operation to take place on the speci­fied byte or word. A bulk erase operation may not be issued from user code (which includes removing code protection).
Access to program memory all ows for che cksum calc u­lation. The values written to program memory do not need to be valid instructions. Therefore, up to 14-bit numbers can be stored in memory for use as calibra­tion parameters, serial numbers, packed 7-bit ASCII, etc. Executing a program memory location containing data that form an invalid instruction, results in the exe­cution of a NOP instruction.
The EEPROM Data memory is rated for high erase/ write cycles (specif ica tio n D 120 ). The FLAS H pro gra m memory is rated much lower (specification D130), because EEPROM data memory can be used to store frequently updated values. An on-chip timer controls the write time and it w ill v ary with v olt age and tempe ra­ture, as well as from chip to chip. Please refer to the specifications for exact limits (specifications D122 and D133).
A byte or word write automatically erases the location and writes the new value (erase before write). Writing to EEPROM data memory does not impact the opera­tion of the device. Writing to program memory will cease the execution of instructions until the write is complete. The program memory cannot be accessed during the write. During the write operation, the oscilla­tor continues to run, the peripherals continue to func­tion and interrupt events will be detected and essentially “queued” until the write is complete. When the write completes, the next instruction in the pipeline is executed and the branch to the interrupt vector will take place, i f the i nte rrupt is enabled a nd oc cu rred d ur­ing the write.
Read and write access to both memories take place indirectly through a set of Special Function Registers (SFR). The six SFRs used are:
• EEDATA
• EEDATH
• EEADR
• EEADRH
• EECON1
• EECON2
DD range. These opera tions take place on a si n-
The EEPROM data memory allows byte read and write operations without interfering with the normal operation of the microcontroller. When interfacing to EEPROM data memory, the EEADR register holds the address to be accessed. Depending on the operation, the EEDATA register holds the data to be written, or the data read, at the address in EEADR. The PIC16F873/874 devices have 128 bytes of EEPROM data memory and there­fore, require that the MSb of EEADR remain clear. The EEPROM data memory on these devices do not wrap around to 0, i.e., 0x80 in the EEADR does not map to 0x00. The PIC16F876/877 devices have 256 bytes of EEPROM data memory and therefore, uses all 8-bits of the EEADR.
The FLASH program memory allows non-intrusive read access, but write operations cause the device to stop executing instructions, until the write completes. When interfacing to the program memory, the EEADRH:EEADR registers form a two-byte word, which holds the 13-bit address of the memory location being accessed. The register combination of EEDATH:EEDATA holds the 14-bit data for writes, or reflects the val ue of program m emory after a read oper­ation. Just as in EEPROM data memory accesses, the value of the EEADRH:EEADR registers must be within the valid range of program memory, depending on the device: 0000h to 1FFFh for the PIC16F873/874, or 0000h to 3FFFh for the PIC16F876/877. Addresses outside of this ran ge do no t wrap around t o 0000h (i.e., 4000h does not map to 0000h on the PIC16F877).

4.1 EECON1 and EECON2 Registers

The EECON1 register is the control register for config­uring and initiatin g the acces s. The EECON2 reg ister is not a physically implemented register, but is used exclusively in the memory write sequence to prevent inadvertent writes.
There are many bits used to control the read and write operations to EEPROM data and FLASH program memory. The EEPGD bit determines if the access will be a program or data memory access. When clear, any subsequent operations will work on the EEPROM data memory. When set, all subsequent operations will operate in the program memory.
Read operations only us e one additio nal bit, RD, whic h initiates the read operation from the desired memory location. Once this bit is set, the value of the desired memory location will be available in the data registers. This bit cannot be cleared by firmware. It is automati­cally cleared at the end of the read operation. For EEPROM data memory reads, the data will be avail­able in the EEDATA register in the very next i nstructio n cycle after the RD bit is set. For program memory reads, the data will be loaded into the EEDATH:EEDATA registers, following the second instruction after the RD bit is set.
1998-2013 Microchip Technology Inc. DS30292D-page 41
PIC16F87X
Write operations have two control bit s, WR and WREN, and two status bits, WRERR and EEIF. The WREN bit is used to enable or disable the write operation. When WREN is clear, the write operation will be disabled. Therefore, the WREN bit must be set befo re ex ec utin g a write operation. Th e WR bit is used to in itiate the write operation. It also is automatically cleared at the end of the write operation. The interrupt flag EEIF is used to determine when the mem ory write comp letes . This fla g must be cleared in software before setting the WR bit. For EEPROM data memory, once the WREN bit and the WR bit have been set, the desired memory addres s in EEADR will be erased, followed by a wri te of the data in EEDATA. This operation takes place in parallel with the microcontroller continuing to execute normally. When the write is c omplete, the EEIF flag bit will be set. For program memory, once the WREN bit and the WR bit have been set, the m icrocontr oller will cease to ex e-
cute instructions. T he de sired mem ory l ocatio n poi nted to by EEADRH:EEADR will be erased. Then, the data value in EEDATH:EEDATA will be programmed. When complete, the EEIF flag bi t will be set and the microcon­troller will continue to execute code.
The WRERR bit is used to indicate when the PIC16F87X device has be en re set during a write op er­ation. WRERR should be cleared after Power-on Reset. Thereafter, it should be checked on any other RESET. The WRERR bit is set when a write operation is interrupted by a MCLR Reset, during normal o peration. In these situati ons, fol­lowing a RESET , the user should check the WRERR bit and rewrite the memory locati on, if set. The c ontents of the data registers, address registers and EEPGD bit are not affected by either MCLR out Reset, during normal operation.

4.2 Reading the EEPROM Data Memory

Reading EEPROM data memory only requires that the desired address to access be written to the EEADR register and clear the EEPGD bit. After the RD bit is set, data will be av ailable in the EEDATA register on the very next instruction cycle. EEDAT A will hold this value until another read ope rati on is in iti ated or until it is writ­ten by firmware.
The steps to reading the EEPROM data memory are:
1. Write the address to EEDATA. Make sure that
the address is not larger than the memory size of the PIC16F87X device.
2. Clear the EEPGD bit to point to EEPROM data
memory.
3. Set the RD bit to start the read operation.
4. Read the data from the EEDATA register.
EXAMPLE 4-1: EEPROM DATA READ
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 EEADR. Make sure that the address is not larger than the memory size of the PIC16F87X device.
3. Write the 8-bit data value to be programmed in the EEDATA register.
4. Clear the EEPGD bit to point to EEPROM data memory.
5. Set the WREN bit to enable program operati ons.
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 indica te the end of the program cycle.

4.3 Writing to the EEPROM Data Memory

There are many steps in writing to the EEPROM data memory . Both address and dat a valu es must be writte n to the SFRs. The EEPGD bit must be cleared, and the WREN bit must be set, t o enab le w rites. The WREN b it should be kept clear at all times, ex cept when writi ng to the EEPROM data. The WR bit can only be set if the WREN bit wa s set in a previous operation, i.e., they both cannot be set in the same operation. The WREN bit should then be cleared by firmware after the write. Clearing the WREN bit before the write actually com­pletes wil l not terminate the write in progre ss.
Writes to EEPROM data memory must also be pref­aced with a special sequence of instructions, that pre­vent inadvertent wri te operatio ns. This is a s equence of five instructions that m ust be executed without in terrup­tions. The firmware should verify that a write is not in progress, before starting another cycle.

4.4 Reading the FLASH Program Memory

Reading FLASH program memory is much like that of EEPROM data memory , only two NOP instructions must be inserted afte r the RD bit is set. These two i nstruction cycles that t he NOP instructions execute, will be used by the micr ocontr olle r to r ead th e data out o f prog ram memory and insert the value into the EEDATH:EEDATA registers. Data will be available fol­lowing the second NOP instruction. EEDATH and EEDATA will hold their value until another read opera­tion is initiated, or until they are written by firmware.
The steps to rea din g the FLASH program mem ory a re:
1. Write the address to EEADRH:EEADR. Make
sure that the address is not larger than the mem­ory size of the PIC16F87X device.
2. Set the EEPGD bit to point to FLASH program
memory.
3. Set the RD bit to start the read operation.
4. Execute two NOP instructions to allow the micro-
controller to read out of program memory.
5. Read the data from the EEDATH:EEDATA
registers.
EXAMPLE 4-3: FLASH PROGRAM READ
DS30292D-page 44 1998-2013 Microchip Technology Inc.

4.5 Writing to the FLASH Program Memory

Writing to FLASH program memory is unique, in that the microcontroller does not execute instructions while programming is taking place. The oscillator continues to run and all peripherals continue to operate and queue interrupts, if enabled. Once the write operation completes (specification D133), the processor begins executing code from where it left off. The other impor­tant difference when writing to FLASH program mem­ory, is that the WRT configuration bit, when clear, prevents any writes to program memory (see Table 4-1).
Just like EEPROM data memory, there are many steps in writing to the FLASH program mem ory . Bot h address and data values must be written to the SFRs. The EEPGD bit must be set, and the WREN bit must be s et to enable writes. The WREN bit shou ld b e kept cl ear at all times, except when writing to the FLASH Program memory. The WR bit can only be set if the WREN bit was set in a previous operation, i.e., they both cannot be set in the same operation. The WREN bit should then be cleared by firmwa re after the writ e. Clearing the WREN bit before the write actually completes will not terminate the write in progress.
Writes to program memory must also be prefaced with a special sequence of instructions that prevent inad­vertent write operations. This is a sequence of five instructio ns t h at mu st be e xe cu t ed w ith ou t i nte r ru pt i on for each byt e writ ten. Th ese ins truct ions must then be followed by two NOP instructions to allow the microcon­troller to setup for th e writ e opera tion. Onc e the w rite i s complete, the execution of instructions starts with the instruction after the second NOP.
The steps to write to program memory are:
1. Write the address to EEADRH:EEADR. Make
sure that the address i s not larger than the m em­ory size of the PIC16F87X device.
2. Write the 14-bit data value to be prog ram me d i n
the EEDATH:EEDATA registers.
3. Set the EEPGD bit to point to FLASH program
memory.
4. Set the WREN bit to enable program operati ons.
5. Disable interrupts (if enabled).
6. Execute the special five instruction sequence:
• Write 55h to EECON2 in two step s (first to W , then to EECON2)
• Write AAh to EECON2 in two steps (first to W , then to EECON2)
• Set the WR bit
7. Execute two NOP instruction s to allow the mic ro­controller to setup for write operation.
8. Enable interrupts (if using interrupts).
9. Clear the WREN bit to disable program operations.

BCF EECON1, WREN ;Disable writes
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. ) Since the microcont roller does not execute in structions duri ng the write cy cle, the firmware does not necessarily have to check either EEIF, or WR, to determine if the write had finished.
EXAMPLE 4-4: FLASH PROGRAM WRITE

4.6 Write Verify

The PIC16F87X device s do not automatic ally verify the value written during a write operation. Depending on the application, good programming practice may dic­tate that the value written to memory b e verified against the original value. This should be used in applications where excessive writes can stress bits near the speci­fied endurance limit s.
1998-2013 Microchip Technology Inc. DS30292D-page 45
4.7 Protection Against Spurious
Writes
There are conditions when the device may not want to write to the EEPROM data memory or FL ASH program memory. To protect against these spurious write condi­tions, various mechanisms have been built into the PIC16F87X devices. On power-up, the WREN bit is cleared and the Power-up Timer (if enabled) prevents writes.
The write initiate sequence, and the WREN bit together, help prevent any accidental writes during brown-out, power glitches, or firmware malfunction.

4.8 Operation While Code Protected

The PIC16F87 X devi ce s ha ve tw o c ode pr o tec t mec ha ­nisms, one bit for EEPROM dat a memory and two bi ts for FLASH program memory. Data can be read and written to the EEPROM data memory, regardless of the state of the code protection bit, CPD. When code protection is enabled and CPD cleared, external access via ICSP is disabled, regardles s of the sta te of the prog ram memory code protect bits. This prevents the contents of EEPROM data memory fro m bei ng rea d o ut of the device.
The state of the program memory code protect bits, CP0 and CP1, do not affect the execution of instruc­tions out of program mem ory. The PIC16F87X devices can always read the values in program memory, regardless of the state of the code protect bits. How­ever , the st a te of th e c ode protect bits and the WRT bit will have diffe rent effects on wr iting to prog ram mem­ory. Table 4-1 shows the effect of the code protect bits and the WRT bit on program memory.
Once code protection has been enabled for either EEPROM data memory or FLASH program memory, only a full erase of the entire device will disable code protection.
PIC16F87X

4.9 FLASH Program Memory Write Protection

The configuration word contains a bit that write protects the FLASH program memory, called WRT. This bit can only be accessed when programming the PIC16F87X device via ICSP. Once write protection is enable d, only an erase of the entire device will disable it. When enabled, write protec tion prevent s any writes to FLASH program memory. Write protection does not affect pro­gram memory reads.

5.1 Timer0 Interrupt

The TMR0 interrupt is generated when the TMR0 reg­ister overflows from FFh to 00h. This overflow sets bit T0IF (INTCON<2>). The interrupt can be masked by clearing bit T0IE (INTCON<5>).

Timer0 module means that there is no prescaler for the Watchdog Timer, and vice-versa. This prescaler is not readable or writable (see Figure 5-1).

6.0 TIMER1 MODULE

The Timer1 mod ule is a 16-bit timer/counter consistin g of two 8-bit registers (TMR1H and TMR1L), which are readable and writable. The TMR1 Register pair (TMR1H:TMR1L) increments from 0000h to FFFFh and rolls over to 0000 h. The TMR1 Inte rrupt, if enabled, is generated on overflow, which is latched in interrupt flag bit TMR1IF (PIR1<0>). This interrupt can be enabled/disabled by setting/clearing TMR1 interrupt enable bit TMR1IE (PIE1<0>).
Timer1 can operate in one of two modes:
•As a timer
•As a counter The operating mode is determined by the clock select
bit, TMR1CS (T1CON<1>).
In Timer mode, Timer1 increments every instruction cycle. In Counter mode, it increments on every rising edge of the external clock input.
Timer1 can be enabled/disabled by setting/clearing control bit TMR1ON (T1CON<0> ) .
Timer1 also has an internal “RESET input”. This RESET can be generated by either of the two CCP modules (Section 8.0). Register 6-1 shows the Timer1 control register.
When the Timer1 oscillator is enabled (T1OSCEN is set), the RC1/T1OSI/CCP2 and RC0/T1OSO/T1CKI pins become inputs. That is, the TRISC<1:0> value is ignored, and these pins read as ‘0’.
Additional information on timer modules is available in the PIC (DS33023).

6.1 Timer1 Operation in Timer Mode

Timer mode is selected by clearing the TMR1CS (T1CON<1>) bit. In this mode, the input clock to the timer is F (T1CON<2>) has no effect, since the internal clock is always in sync.
FIGURE 6-1: TIMER1 INCREMENTING EDGE

6.2 Timer1 Counter Operation

Timer1 may operate in either a Synchronous, or an Asynchronous mode, depending on the setting of the TMR1CS bit.
When Timer1 is being incremented via an external source, increment s occur on a rising edg e. After T imer1 is enabled in Coun ter mode, the module mus t first have a falling edge before the counter begins to increment.
6.3 Timer1 Operation in Synchronized
Counter mode is selected by setting bit TMR1CS. In this mode, the timer increm ents on every risin g edge of clock input on pin RC1/T1OSI/CCP2, when bit T1OSCEN is set, or on pi n RC0/T1 OSO/T 1CKI , when bit T1OSCEN is cleared.

Counter Mode
If T1SYNC is cleared, the n the externa l clock input is synchronized with internal phase clocks. The synchro­nization is done after the prescaler stage. The prescaler stage is an asynchronous ripple-counter.
In this configuration, during SLEEP mode, Timer1 will not increment even if the external clock is present, since the synchronization circuit is shut-off. The prescaler, however, will continue to increment.
PIC16F87X

6.4 Timer1 Operation in Asynchronous Counter Mode

If control bit T1SYNC (T1CON<2>) 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 time r (Section 6.4.1).
In Asynchronous Counter mode, Timer1 cannot be used as a time-base for capture or compare opera­tions.
6.4.1 READING AND WRITING TIMER1 IN
ASYNCHRONOUS COUNTER MODE
Reading TMR1H or TMR1L while the timer is running from an external asynchronous clock, will guarantee a valid read (taken care of in hardware). However, the user should keep i n mind that r eadin g the 16-bit time r in two 8-bit values itself, poses cert a in pro bl em s, s inc e the timer may overflow between the reads.
For writes, it is recomm ended that the us er 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 i n the timer register.
Reading the 16-bit value requires some care. Exam­ples 12-2 and 12-3 in the PIC Reference M anual (DS33 023) show how t o read and write Ti mer1 wh en it i s runni ng in Async hronou s mode.

6.5 Timer1 Oscillator

A crystal oscillator ci rcuit is built-in betwee n pins T1OSI (input) and T1OSO (amplifier output). It is enabled by setting control bit T1OSCEN (T 1CON<3>). The oscill a­tor is a low power oscillator, rated up to 200 kHz. It will continue to run during SLEEP. It is primarily intended for use with a 32 kHz crystal. Table 6-1 shows the capacitor selection for the Timer1 oscillator.
The Timer1 oscillator is identical to the LP oscillator. The user must provide a so f t ware time delay to ensure proper oscillator start-up.

6.6 Resetting Timer1 using a CCP Trigger Output

If the CCP1 or CCP2 module is config ured in C omp are mode to generate a “special event trigger” (CCP1M3:CCP1M0 = 1011), this signal will reset Timer1.
Note: The special event triggers from the CCP1
and CCP2 modules will not set interrupt flag bit TMR1IF (PIR1<0>).
Timer1 mu st be confi gured fo r either T ime r or Synchr o­nized Counter mode to take advantage of this feature. If Timer1 is running in Asynchronous Counter mode, this RESET operation may not work.
In the event that a write t o T imer1 coinc ides with a sp e­cial event trigger from CCP1 or CCP2, the write will take precedence.
In this mode of ope rati on, the CCPRxH :CCPRx L regis ­ter pair effectively becomes the period register for Timer1.

7.0 TIMER2 MODULE

Timer2 is an 8-bit timer with a prescaler and a postscaler. It can be used as the PW M time-base f or the PWM mode of the CCP mod ule (s). The T MR2 re g­ister is readable and writable, and is cleared on any device RESET.
The input clock (F
OSC/4) has a prescale option of 1:1,

1:4, or 1:16, selected by control bits T2CKPS1:T2CKPS0 (T2CON<1:0>).
The Timer2 module has an 8-bit period register, PR2. Timer2 increments from 00h until it matches PR2 and then resets to 00h on the next increment cycle. PR2 is a readable and writable register. The PR2 register is initialized to FFh upon RESET.
The match output of TMR2 goes through a 4-bit postscaler (which gives a 1:1 to 1:16 scaling inclusive) to generate a TMR2 interrupt (latched in flag bit TMR2IF, (PIR1<1>)).

8.0 CAPTURE/COMPARE/PWM MODULES

Each Capture/Compare/PWM (CCP) module contains a 16-bit register which can operate as a:
• 16-bit Capture register
• 16-bit Compare register
• PWM Master/Slave Duty Cycle register
Both the CCP1 and CCP2 modules are identical in operation, with the e xception being the operation of the special event trigg er. Table 8-1 and Table 8-2 show the resources and interactions of the CCP module(s). In the following sections, the operation of a CCP module is described with respect to CCP1. CCP2 operates the same as CCP1, except where noted.
CCP1 Module: Capture/Compare/PWM Register1 (CCPR1) is com-
prised of two 8-bit registers: CCPR1L (low byte) and CCPR1H (high byte). The CCP1CON register controls the operation of CCP1. The special event trigger is generated by a compare match and will reset Timer1.
TABLE 8-2: INTERACTION OF TWO CCP MODULES
CCP2 Module: Capture/Compare/PWM Register2 (CCPR2) is com-
prised of tw o 8-bit registers: CCPR2L (low byte) and CCPR2H (high byte). The CCP2CON register controls the operation of CCP2. The special event trigger is generated by a compare match and will reset Timer1 and start an A/D conversion (if the A/D module is enabled).
Additional information on CCP modules is available in the PIC (DS33023) and in application note AN594, “Using the CCP Modules” (DS00594).

8.1 Capture Mode

In Capture mode, CCPR1H:CCPR1L captures the 16-bit value of the TMR1 r egister wh en an eve nt occurs on pin RC2/CCP1. An ev ent is defined as on e of the fol­lowing:
• Every falling edge
• Every rising edge
• Every 4th rising edge
• Every 16th rising edge
The type of event is configured by control bits CCP1M3:CCP1M0 (CCPxCON<3:0>). When a cap­ture is made, the interrupt request flag bit CCP1IF (PIR1<2>) is set. The interrupt flag must be cleared in software. If another capture occurs before the value in register CCPR1 is read, th e old ca ptured v alue is over­written by the new value.

8.1.1 CCP PIN CONFIGURATION

In Capture mode, the R C2/CCP1 pin should b e co nfi g­ured as an input by setting the TRIS C<2> bit.
Note: If the RC2/CCP1 pin is configured as an
output, a write t o the port c an cau se a cap­ture condition.

8.1.2 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.

8.1.3 SOFTWARE INTERRUPT

When the Capture mode is changed, a false capture interrupt may be generated. The user should keep bit CCP1IE (PIE1<2>) clear to avoid false interrupts and should clear the flag bit CCP1IF, following any such change in operating mode.

8.1.4 CCP PRESCALER

There are four prescaler settings, specified by bits CCP1M3:CCP1M0. 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 may generate an interrupt. Also, the prescaler counter will not be cleared, therefore, the first cap ture may be from a non-zero prescaler. Example 8-1 shows the recom­mended method for switching between capture pres­calers. This example also clears the prescaler counter and will not generate the “false” interrupt.

8.2 Compare Mode

In Compare mo de, th e 16- bit CC PR1 re gist er va lue is constantly compared against the TMR1 register pair value. When a match occurs, the RC2/CC P1 pin is:
• Driven high
•Driven low
• Remains unchanged The action on the pin is based on the value of control
bits CCP1M3:CCP1M0 (CCP1CON<3:0>). At the same time, interrupt flag bit CCP1IF is set.
FIGURE 8-2: COMPARE MODE
OPERATION BLOCK DIAGRAM

8.2.2 TIMER1 MODE SELECTION

Timer1 must be running in Timer mode, or Synchro­nized Counter mode, if the CCP module is using the compare feature. In Asynchronous Counter mode, the compare operation may not work.

8.2.3 SOFTWARE INTERRUPT MODE

When Generate Sof tware Interrupt mod e is chosen, the CCP1 pin is not affecte d. The CCPIF b it is set, c ausing a CCP interrupt (if enabled).

8.2.4 SPECIAL EVENT TRIGGER

In this mode, an internal hardware trigger is generate d, which may be used to initiate an action.
The special event trigger output of CCP1 resets the TMR1 regist er pai r. This al lows the CCP R1 r egis ter to effectively b e a 16-bit progra mmable pe riod registe r for Timer1.
The special event trigger output of CCP2 resets the TMR1 register pai r and starts an A/D co nv ersi on (if the A/D module i s enabled).
Note: The special event trigger from the
CCP1and CCP2 modul es w ill not set int er­rupt flag bit TMR1IF (PIR1<0>).

8.2.1 CCP PIN CONFIGURATION

The user must configure the RC2/CCP1 pin as an out­put by clearing the TRISC<2> bit.
Note: Clearing the CCP1CON register will force
the RC2/CCP1 compare output latch to the default low level. This is not the PORT C I/O data latch.

8.3 PWM Mode (PWM)

In Pulse Width Modulation mo de, the CCPx pin pro­duces up to a 10-bit resolution PWM output. Since the CCP1 pin is multiplexed with the PORTC data latch, the TRISC<2> bit must be cleared to make the CCP1 pin an output.
Figure 8-3 shows a simplified block diagram of the CCP module in PWM mode.
For a step-by-step procedure on how to set up the C CP module for PWM operation, see Section 8.3.3.
FIGURE 8-3: SIMPLIFIED PWM BLOCK
A PWM output (Figure 8-4) has a time-base (period) and a time that the output stays high (duty cycle). The frequency of the PWM is the inverse of the period (1/period).

Note: Clearing the CCP1CON register will force
the CCP1 PWM output latch to the default low level. This is not the PORTC I/O data latch.

8.3.1 PWM PERIO D

The PWM period is spec ified by writin g to the PR2 reg­ister. The PWM period can be calculated using the fol­lowing formula:
PWM period = [(PR2) + 1] • 4 • T
OSC
(TMR2 prescale value)
PWM frequency is defined as 1 / [PWM period]. When TMR2 is eq ual to PR2, t he following three event s
occur on the ne xt increment cycle:
•TMR2 is cleared
• The CCP1 pin is set (exception: if PWM duty cycle = 0%, the CCP1 pin will not be set)
• The PWM duty cycle is latc hed from CC PR1L into CCPR1H
Note: The Tim er2 post sc al er (s ee Sec ti on 7.1) is
not used in the determination of the PWM frequency. The pos tscaler co uld be used to have a servo update rate at a different frequency than the PWM output.

8.3.2 PWM DUTY CYCLE

The PWM duty cycle is specified by writing to the CCPR1L register and to the CCP1CON<5:4> bits. Up to 10-bit re so l uti on is av ai l ab le. T he CC PR 1L c on tai ns the eight MSbs and the CCP1CON<5:4> contains the two LSbs. This 10-bit value is represented by CCPR1L:CCP1CON<5:4>. The following equation is used to calculate the PWM duty cycle in time:
P WM duty cy cl e = (CCP R1 L: CCP1CON<5:4>) •
OSC • (TMR2 prescale value)
T
CCPR1L and CCP1CON<5:4> can be written to at any time, but the duty cycle value is not latched into CCPR1H until after a match between PR2 and TMR2 occurs (i.e., the period is complete). In PWM mode, CCPR1H is a read-only register.
The CCPR1H register and a 2-bit internal latch are used to double buf fer the PWM duty cycle. Thi s doubl e buffering is essential for glitch-free PWM operation.
When the CCP R1H and 2 -bit latch match T MR2, c on­catenated with an internal 2-b it Q clock , or 2 bits of the TMR2 prescaler, the CCP1 pin is cleared.
The maximum PWM resolution (bits) for a given PWM frequency is given by the formula:
1998-2013 Microchip Technology Inc. DS30292D-page 61
Note: If the PWM duty cycle value is longer than
the PWM period, the CCP1 pin will not be cleared.
PIC16F87X

8.3.3 SETUP FOR PWM OPERATION

The following steps should be taken when configuring the CCP module for PWM operation:
1. Set the PWM period by writing to the PR2 register.
3. Make the CCP1 pin an output by clearing the TRISC<2> bit.
4. Set the TMR2 prescale value a nd enable T imer2 by writing to T2CON.
5. Configure the CCP1 module for PWM o peration.
2. Set the PWM duty cycle by writing to the CCPR1L register and CCP1CON<5:4> bits.

Th ese p eriphera l devices may be serial EEPROMs, shift registers, dis­play drivers, A/D converters, etc. The MSSP module can operate in one of two modes:
• Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI)
• Inter-Integrated Circuit (I Figure 9-1 shows a block diagram for the SPI mode,
while Figure 9-5 and Figure 9-9 show the block dia­grams for the two different I

9.1 SPI Mode

The SPI mode allo ws 8 bits of data to be sync hronously transmitted and received simultaneously. All four modes of SPI are supported. To accomplish communi­cation, typically three pins are used:
• Serial Data Out (SDO)
• Serial Data In (SDI)
• Serial Clock (SCK) Additionally, a fourth pin may be used when in a Slave
mode of operation:
• Slave Select (SS When initializing the SPI, several options need to be
specified. This is done by pro gramming th e 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)
Figure 9-4 shows the block diagram of th e MSSP mod­ule when in SPI mode.
To enable the serial port, MSSP Enable bit, SSPEN (SSPCON<5>) must be set. T o reset or rec onfigure SPI mode, clear bit SSPEN, re-initialize the SSPCON reg­isters, and then set bit SSPEN. This configures the SDI, SDO, SCK and SS pins to behave as the serial port function, some must have their data direction bits (in the TRIS register) appropriately programmed. That is:
• SDI is automaticall y c ontrolled by the SPI mo dul e
• SDO must have TRISC<5> cleared
• SCK (Master mode) must have TRISC<3> cleared
• SCK (Slave mode) must have TRISC<3> set
must have TRISA<5> set and register
•SS ADCON1 (see Section11.0: A/D Modul e) must be set in a way that pin RA5 is confi gured a s a dig it al I/O
)
pins as serial port pins . For the
Any serial port function that is not desired may be overridden by programming the corresponding data direction (TRIS) register to the opposite value.

9.1.1 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 9-5) is to broad­cast data by the software protoc ol.
In Master mode, the data is transmitted/received as soon as the SSPBUF register is written to. If the SPI module is only going to receive, the SDO output could be disabled (programmed as an input). The SSPSR register will conti nue to shif t in the signa l present o n 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”.
The clock polarity is selected by appropriately program­ming bit CKP (SSPCON<4>). This then, would give waveforms for SPI communication as shown in
FIGURE 9-2: SPI MODE TIMING, MASTER MODE
Figure 9-6, Figure 9-8 and Figure 9-9, where the MSb is transmitted first. In Master mode, the SPI clock rate (bit rate) is user programmable to be one of the following:
OSC/4 (or TCY)
•F
•F
OSC/16 (or 4 • TCY)
•FOSC/64 (or 16 • TCY)
• Timer2 output/2 This allows a maximu m bit clock freq uency (at 20 MHz)
of 5.0 MHz. Figure 9-6 shows the waveforms for Master mode.
When CKE = 1, the SDO data is valid before there is a clock edge on SCK. The change of the input sample is shown based on the state of the SMP bit. The time when the SSPBUF is loaded with the received data is shown.

9.1.2 SLAVE MODE

In Slave mode, the data is tra nsmitted and r eceived as the external clock pulses ap pea r on SCK . When th e last bit is latched, the interrupt flag bit SSPIF (PIR1<3>) 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.
Note 1: When the SPI module is in Slave
mode with SS (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 = '1', then SS enabled.

9.2 MSSP I2C Operation

The MSSP module in I2C mode, fully implements all master and slav e functions (incl uding general call sup­port) and provides interrupts on ST AR T and STO P bits in hardware, to determine a free bus (multi-master func­tion). The MSSP modul e im plemen ts the s ta ndard m ode specification s, as wel l as 7-bit and 10-bi t addre ssin g.
Refer to Application Note AN578, "Use of the SSP
Module in the I
A "glitch" filter is on the SCL and SDA pins when the pi n is an input. This fil ter operates in both the 100 kH z an d 400 kHz modes. In the 10 0 kHz mode, whe n these pin s are an output, there is a sle w rate control of the pin th at is independent of device frequency.
FIGURE 9-5: I2C SLAVE MODE BLOCK
Two p ins a re use d for dat a tra nsfer. These are the SCL pin, which is the clock, and the SDA pin, which is the data. The SDA and SCL pins are automatically config­ured when the I functions are enabled by setting SSP Enable bit SSPEN (SSPCON<5>).
The MSSP module has six registers for I They are the:
• SSP Control Register (SSPCON)
• SSP Control Register2 (SSPCON2)
• SSP Status Register (SSPSTAT)
• Serial Receive/Transmit Buffer (SSPBUF)
• SSP Shift Register (SSPSR) - Not directly accessible
• SSP Address Register (SSPADD)

Before selecting any I
C mode, the SCL and SDA pins must be programmed to inputs by setting the appropri­ate TRIS bits. Selecting an I2C mode by setting the SSPEN bit, enables the SCL and SDA pins to be used as the clock and data lines in I
2
C mode. Pu ll -u p res i s­tors must be provided externally to the SCL and SDA pins for the proper operation of the I2C module.
The CKE bit (SSPSTAT<6:7>) sets the levels of the SDA and SCL pins in either Master or Slave mode. When CKE = 1, the levels will conform to the SMBus specification. W hen C KE = 0 , th e le vels will conform to
2
C specification.
the I The SSPSTAT register gives the status of the data
transfer. This information includes detection of a START (S) or STOP (P) bit, specifies if the received byte was data or address, if the next byte is the com­pletion of 10-bit address, and if this will be a read or write data transfer.
SSPBUF is the register to which the transfer data is written to, or read from. The SSPSR register shifts the data in or ou t of the device. In re ceive oper ations , the SSPBUF and SSPSR create a doubled buffered receiver. This allows reception of the next byte to begin before reading the last by te of receiv ed data. Wh en the complete byte is received, it is transferred to the SSPBUF register and flag bit SSPIF is set. If another complete byte is received before the SSPBUF register is read, a receiver overflow has occurred and bit SSPOV (SSPCON<6>) is set and the byte in the SSPSR is lost.
The SSPADD register holds the slave address. In 10-bit mode, the use r needs to write th e high byte of the address (1111 0 A9 A8 0). Following the high byte address match, the l ow byte of the address nee ds to be loaded (A7:A0).

9.2.1 SLAVE MODE

In Slave mode, the SCL and SDA pins must be confi g­ured as inputs. The MSSP module will override the input state with the output data, when required (slave­transmitter).
When an address is matched, or the data transfer af ter an address m atch is re ceiv ed, the hard ware aut omati ­cally will generate the Acknowledge (ACK then load the SSPBUF register with th e re ce ive d valu e currently in the SSPSR register.
There are certain conditions that will cause the MSSP module not to give thi s ACK (or both):
a) The buffer full bit BF (SSPSTAT<0>) was set
before the transfer was received.
b) The overflow bit SS POV (SSPCON<6>) was set
before the transfer was received.
If the BF bit is set, the SSPSR register value is not loaded into the SSPBUF, but bit SSPIF and SSPOV are set. Table 9-2 shows what happens when a data trans­fer byte is received, given the status of bits BF and SSPOV. The shaded cells show the condition where user software d id no t prope rly c lear th e ove rflo w cond i­tion. Flag bit BF is cleared by read ing the SSPBUF reg­ister, while bit SSPOV is cleared through software.
The SCL clock input must have a minimum high and low time for proper operation. The high and low times

9.2.1.1 Addressing
Once the MSSP module has been enabled, it waits for a ST AR T co nditio n to occur. Following the STAR T co n­dition, the 8-bits are shif ted into the SSPSR register. All incoming bits are sampled with the rising edge of the clock (SCL) line. The value of register SSPSR<7:1> is compared to the value of the SSPADD register. The address is compared on the falling edge of the eighth clock (SCL) pulse. If the addresses match, and the BF and SSPOV bits are clear, the following events occur:
a) The SSPSR register value is loaded into the
SSPBUF register on the falling edge of the 8th SCL pulse.
b) The buffer full bit, BF, is set on the falling edge
of the 8th SCL pulse. c) An ACK pulse is generated. d) SSP interrupt flag bit, SSPIF (PIR1<3>), is set
(interrupt is generated if enabled) on the falling
edge of the 9th SCL pulse. In 10-bit address mode, two address bytes need to be
received by the slave. The five Most Significant bits (MSbs) of the first address byte specify if this is a 10-bit address. Bit R/W the slave device will receive the second address byte.
(SSPSTA T<2>) must specify a write so
For a 10-bit address, the first byte would equal ‘1111 0 A9 A8 0’, where A9 and A8 are the two MSbs of the address. The sequence of events for a 10-bit address is as follows, with steps 7-9 for slave-transmitter:
1. Receive first (high) byte of Address (bits SSPIF, BF and UA (SSPSTAT<1>) are set).
2. Update the SSPADD register with the 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 registe r with the f irst (high) byte of Address. This will clear bit UA and release the SCL line.
6. Read the SSPBUF register (clears bit BF) and clear flag bit SSPIF.
7. Receive Repeated Start condition.
8. Receive first (high) byte of Address (bits SSPIF and BF are set).
9. Read the SSPBUF register (clears bit BF) and clear flag bit SSPIF.
Note: Following the Repeated START condition
(step 7) in 10-bit mode, the user only needs to match the fi rst 7-bit ad dress. Th e user does not update the SSPADD for the second half of the address.
9.2.1.2 Slave Reception
When the R/W bit of the addres s byte is clear an d an address match occurs, the R/W register is cleared. Th e receive d addre ss is loa ded in to the SSPBUF register.
When the address byte overflow condition exists, then no Acknowledge (ACK condition is defined as either bit BF (SSPSTAT<0>) is set, or bit SSPOV (SSPCON<6>) is set. Thi s is an error condition due to user firmware.
An SSP interrupt is generated for each data transfer byte. Flag bit SSPIF (PIR1<3>) must be cleared in sof t­ware. The SSPSTAT register is used to determine the status of the received byte.
Note: The SSPBUF will be loaded if the SSPOV
bit is set and the BF flag is cleared. If a read of the SSPBUF was performed, but the user did not clear the state of the SSPOV bit before the next receive occurred, the ACK SSPBUF is updated.

9.2.1.3 Slave Transmission
When the R/W bit of the incoming address byte is set and an address match occurs, the R/W SSPSTAT register is set. The received address is loaded into the SSPBUF register. The ACK be sent on the ninth bit, and the SCL pin is held low. The transmit data must be loaded into the SSPBUF register, which also loads the SSPSR register. Then, the SCL pin should be enabled by setting bit CKP (SSPCON<4>). The master must monitor the SCL pin prior to asserting another clock pulse. The slave devices may be holding off the master by stretching the clock. The eight data bits are shifted out on the falling edge of the SCL input. This ensures that the SDA sig­nal is vali d during the SCL high time (Figure 9-7).

An SSP interrupt is generated for each data transfer byte. The SSPIF flag bit must be cleared in software and the SSPST AT register is used to determine the sta­tus of the byte tran sf er. The SSPIF flag bit 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 is high (not ACK), then the data transfer is comple te. Whe n the n ot ACK
is latched by the slave, the slave logic is r ese t a nd t he s lave then monitors for another occurrence of th e ST AR T bit. If the SDA line was low (ACK
), the transmit data must be loaded into the SSPBUF register, which also loads the SSPSR register. Then the SCL pin should be enabled by setting the CKP bit.

9.2.2 GENERAL CALL ADDRESS SUPPORT

The addressing procedure for the I2C bus is such that the first byte after the START condition usually deter­mines which device will be the slave addressed by the master. The exception is the gene ral call address , which can address all devices. When this address is used, all devices should, in theory , respond with an acknowledge.
The general call address is one of eight addresses reserved for specific purposes by the I consists of all 0’s with R/W
= 0.
The general call address is recognized when the Gen­eral Call Enable bit (GCEN) is enabled (SSPCON2<7> is set). Following a START bit detect, 8 bits are shifted into SSPSR and the address is compared against
2
C protocol. It
If the general call address matches, the SSPSR is transferred to the SSPBUF, the BF flag is set (eighth bit), and on the falling edge of the ninth bit (ACK
bit),
the SSPIF flag is set. When the interrupt is serv ic ed, the s ou r ce f or the int er-
rupt can be checked by reading the contents of the SSPBUF to determine if the address was device spe­cific, or a general call address.
In 10-bit mode, the SSPADD is required to be updated for the second half of the address to match , and the UA bit is set (SSPSTAT<1>). If the general call address is sampled when GCEN is set, while the slave is config­ured in 10-bit address mode, then the second half of the address is not ne cessary, the UA bit w il l n ot be set, and the slave will begin receiving data after the Acknowledge (Figure9-8).

9.2.5 MASTER MODE

Master mode of operation is supported by interrupt generation on the detection of the START and STOP conditions. The STOP (P) and START (S) bits are cleared from a RESET, or when the MSSP module is disabled. Control of the I P bit is set, or the bus is idle, with bo th the S and P bit s clear.

The following events will cause the SSP Interrupt Flag bit, SSPIF, to be set (an SSP interrupt will occur if enabled):
• START condition
• STOP condition
• Data transfer byte transmitted/received
• Acknowledge transmit
• Repeated START
In Master mode, the SCL and SDA lines are manipu­lated by the MSSP hardware.
FIGURE 9-9: SSP BLOCK DIAGRAM (I2C MASTER MODE)

9.2.6 MULTI-MASTER MODE

In Multi-Master mode, the interrupt generation on the detection o f the START and STOP conditions al lows the determination of when the bus is free. The STOP (P) and START (S) bits are cleared from a RESET or when the MSSP module is disabled . Control of the I bus may be taken when bit P (SSPSTAT<4>) is set, or the bus is idle with both the S and P bits clear. When the bus is busy, enabling the SSP Interrupt will gener-

9.2.7 I2C MASTER MODE SUPPORT

Master mode is enabled by setting and clearing the appropriate SSPM bits in SSPCON and by setting the SSPEN bit. Once Master mode is enabled, the user has six options:
• Assert a START condition on SDA and SCL.
• Assert a Repeated START condition on SDA and
SCL.
• Write to the SSPBUF register initiating transmis-
sion of data/address.
• Generate a STOP condition on SDA and SCL.
• Configure the I

Master mode, does not allow queueing of events. For instance, the user is not allowed to initiate a START condition and immediately write the SSPBUF register to initiate transmission before the START condition is complete. In this case, the SSPBUF will not be written to and the WCOL bit will be set, indicating that a write to the SSPBUF did not occur.

transmission of the last d ata bit is followed b y ACK), the
internal clock will automatically stop counting and the
SCL pin will remain in its last state.
A typical transmit sequence would go as follows:
a) User generates a START condition by setting
the START enable bit (SEN) in SSPCON2.
b) SSPIF is set. The module will wait the required
start time before any other operation takes place. c) User loads SSPBUF with address to transmit. d) Address is s hi f ted o ut the SDA pin until al l 8 bits
are transmitted. e) MSSP module shifts in the ACK bit from the
slave device and writes its value into the
SSPCON2 register (SSPCON2<6>). f) MSSP module generates an interrupt at the end
of the ninth clock cycle by setting SSPIF. g) User loads SSPBUF with eight bits of data. h) DA T A is shifted out the SDA pin unti l all 8 bit s are
transmitted. i) MSSP module shifts in the ACK bit from the
slave device, and writes its value into the
SSPCON2 register (SSPCON2<6>). j) MSSP module genera tes an interru pt at the end
of the ninth clock cycle by setting the SSPIF bit.

9.2.8 BAUD RATE GENERATOR

In I2C Master mode, the reload value for the BRG is located in the lower 7 bits of the SSPADD register (Figure 9-10). When the BRG is loaded with this value, the BRG counts down to 0 and stops until another reload has taken place. The BRG count is decremented twice per instruction cycle (T

CONDITION TIMING
To initiate a START condi tion, the user sets the START condition enable bit, SEN (SSPCON2<0>). If the SDA and SCL pins are samp led hig h, th e ba ud ra te genera­tor is reloaded with the contents of SSPADD<6:0> and starts it s c oun t. If SCL and SDA are bot h s ampl ed high when the baud rate generator times out (T
BRG), the
SDA pin is driven low. The action of the SDA being driven low while SCL is high is the START condition, and causes the S bit (SSPSTAT<3>) to be set. Follow­ing this, the baud rate generator is reloaded with the contents of SSPADD<6:0> and resumes its count. When the baud rate generator times out (T

SEN bit (SSPCON2<0>) will be automatically cleared by hardware. The baud rate generator is suspended, leaving the SDA li ne held low, and the STAR T conditio n is complete .

9.2.10 I2C MASTER MODE REPEATED START CONDITION TIMING

A Repeated START condition occurs when the RSEN bit (SSPCON2<1>) is programmed high and the I module is in the IDLE state. When the RSEN bit is set, the SCL pin is asserted low. When the SCL pin is sam­pled low, the baud rate generator is loaded with the contents of SSPADD<6:0> and begins counting. The SDA pin is released (brought high) for one baud rate generator count (T
BRG). When the baud rate genera tor
times out, if SD A is sampl ed hi gh, th e SCL pin w ill be de-asserted (brought high). When SCL is sampled high the baud rate genera tor is reloaded w ith the conten ts of SSPADD<6:0> and begins counting. SDA and SCL must be sampled high for one T
BRG. This action is then
followed by assertion of the SDA pin (SDA is low) for
BRG, while SCL is high. Follo wing thi s, t he RSEN
one T bit in the SSPCON2 register will be automatically cleared and the baud rate generator will not be reloaded, leaving the SDA pin held low. As soon as a ST ART cond ition is det ected on the SDA and SCL p ins, the S bit (SSPSTAT<3>) will be set. The SSPIF bit will not be set until the ba ud rate generator has timed out.
Note 1: If RSEN is programmed while any other
event is in progress, it will not take effect.
2: A bus collision during the Repeated
START condition occurs if:
• SDA is sampled low wh en SCL goes from low to high.
SCL goes low before SDA is asserted low . This may indicate that another master is attempting to transmit a data "1".

Immediately following the SSPIF bit getting set, the user may write the SSPBUF with the 7-bit address in 7-bit mode, or the default first address in 10-bit mode. After the first eight bits are transmitted and an ACK is

9.2.10.1 WCOL Status Flag
If the user writes the SSPBUF when a Repeated START sequence is in progress, then WCOL is set and the contents of the buffer are unchanged (the write doesn’t occur).
Note: Because queueing of events is not
allowed, writing of the lower 5 bits of SSPCON2 is disabled until the Repeated START condition is complete.

9.2.11 I2C MASTER MODE TRANSMISSION

Transmission of a data byte, a 7-bit address, or either half of a 10-bit address, is accomplished by simply writ­ing a value to SSPBUF register. This action will set the Buffer Full flag (BF) and allow the baud rate generator to begin counting a nd star t the next trans mission. Eac h bit of address/data will be shifted out onto the SDA pin after the falling edg e of SCL is ass erte d (se e data hold time spec). SCL i s held low for o ne baud rate gen erator rollover count (T is released high (see data setup time spec). When the SCL pin is r eleased high, i t is hel d that w ay for T The data on the SDA pin must remain stable for that duration and some hold ti me after the next fallin g edg e of SCL. After the eighth bit is shifted out (the falling edge of the eighth c lock), the BF f lag is cl eared and th e master releases SDA allowing the slave device being addressed t o res p on d w ith an ACK bit time, if an address match occurs or if data was received properly. The status of ACK is read into the ACKDT on the falling edge of the ninth clock. If the master receives an Acknowledge, the Acknowledge Status bit (ACKSTAT) is cleared. If not, the bit is set. After the ninth clock, the SSPIF is set and the master clock (baud rate gene rator ) is suspended until the next data byte is loaded into the SSPBUF, leaving SCL low and SDA unchanged (Figure 9-14).
After the write to the SSPBUF, each bit of address will be shifted out on the fal ling edge of SC L, until all seve n address bits and the R/W ing edge of the eighth clock, the master will de-assert the SDA pin, allowing the slave to respond with an Acknowledge. On th e falling edge o f the ninth clock , the master will sample the SDA pin to see if the address was recognized by a slave. The status of the ACK bit is loaded into the ACKSTAT status bit (SSPCON2<6>). Following t he falli ng edge o f the ni nth clock transmis ­sion of the address, the SSPIF is set, the BF flag is cleared, and the baud rate generator is turned off until another write to the SSPBUF takes place, holdi ng SCL low and allowing SDA to float.

The baud rate genera tor b egi ns cou nti ng, and on each rollover, the state of the SCL pin changes (high to low/ low to high), and data is shifted into the SSPSR. After the falling edge of the eighth clock, the receive enable flag is automatically cleared, the contents of the SSPSR are loaded into the SSPBUF, the BF flag is set, the SSPIF is set, and the baud rate generator is sus­pended from counting, holding SCL low. The SSP is now in IDLE state, awaiting the next command. When the buffer is read by the CPU, the BF flag is automati­cally cleared. The us er can then s end an Acknowl edge bit at the end of reception, by setting the Acknowledge Sequence Enable bit, ACKEN (SSPCON2<4>).

A STOP bit is asserted on the SDA pin at the end of a receive/t ransmi t by s etti ng th e Stop Sequen ce E nable bit, PEN (SSPCON2<2>). At the end of a receive/ transmit, the SCL line is held low after the falling edge of the ninth clock. When the PEN bit is set, the master will assert the SDA line lo w . Whe n the SDA line is sam­pled low, the baud rate generator is reloaded and counts down to 0.

9.2.18 MULTI -MASTER COMMUNICATION, BUS COLLISION, AND BUS ARBITRATION

Multi-Master mode support is achieved by bus arbitra­tion. When the master outputs address/data bits onto the SDA pin, arbitration takes place when the master outputs a '1' on SDA, by letting SDA float high and another master asserts a ' 0'. Whe n th e SC L pi n fl oats high, data should be stable. If the expected data on SDA is a '1' and the data s ampl ed on the SD A pin = '0' , a bus collision has t ak en place. The master will set the Bus Collision Interrupt Flag, BCLIF and reset the I port to its IDLE state (Figure 9-19).
If a transmit was in progress when the bus collision occurred, the transmission is halted, the BF flag is cleared, the SDA and SCL lines are de-asserted, and the SSPBUF can be w ritten t o. When the u ser se rvice s the bus collision Interrupt Service Routine, and if the

The master will continue to monitor the SDA and SCL pins and if a STOP condition occurs, the SSPIF bit will be set.

In Multi-Master mode, the interrupt generation on the detection of START and STOP conditions allows the determination of whe n the bus is free. Con trol of the I bus can be taken when the P bit is set in the SSPSTAT register, or the bus is idle and the S and P bits are cleared.

9.2.18.1 Bus Collision During a START Condition
During a START condition, a bus collision occurs if: a) SDA or SCL are s ampled low a t the beginning of
the START condition (Figure 9-20).
b) SCL is sampl ed l ow be fore SD A is as se rted low
(Figure 9-21).
During a START condition, both the SDA and the SCL pins are monitored. If e ither the SDA pi n or is already low, then these events all occur:
• the START condition is aborted,
•and
the BCLIF flag is set,
•and the SSP module is reset to its IDLE state
(Figure 9-20).
The START condition begins with the SDA and SCL pins de-asserted. When the SDA pin is sampled high, the baud rate generator is loaded from SSPADD<6:0> and counts down to 0. If the SCL pin is sampled low while SDA is high, a bus collision occurs, because it is assumed that another master is attempting to drive a
the SCL pin
If the SDA pin is sampled low during this count, the BRG is reset and the SDA line is asserted early (Figure 9-22). If, however, a '1' is sampled on the SDA pin, the SDA pin is assert ed low at the end of the BRG count. The baud rate generator is then reloaded and counts down to 0. During this time, if the SCL pins are sampled as '0', a bus collision does not occur. At the end of the BRG count, the SCL pin is asserted low.
Note: The reason that bus coll ision is no t a fact or
during a START condition is that no two bus masters can assert a START condition at the exact same time. Therefore, one master will always assert SDA before the other . T his con dition does not cause a bus collision, becau se the two master s must be allowed to arbitrate t he first add ress follow­ing the START condition. If the address is the same, arbitration must be allowed to continue into the data portion, Repeated START, or STOP conditions.

9.2.18.2 Bus Collision During a Repeated ST ART Condition
During a Repeated START condition, a bus collision occurs if:
a) A low level is sampled on SDA when SCL goes
from low level to high level.
b) SCL goes low before SDA is asserted low, indi-
cating that anoth er master is attem pting to trans­mit a data ’1’.
When the user de-asserts SDA and the pin is allowed to float high, the BRG is loaded with SSPADD<6:0> and counts down to 0. The SCL pin is then de-asserted, and when sampled high, the SDA pin is sampled. If SDA is low, a bus collision has occurred (i.e., another
SDA is sampled high, the BRG is reloaded and begins counting. If SDA goes from high to low befo re the BRG times out, no bus collision occurs, because no two masters can assert SDA at exactly the same time.
If, however , SCL goes from hig h to low before the BRG times out and SDA has not already been asserted, a bus collision occurs. In this case, another master is attempting to transmit a data’1’ during the Repeated START condition.
If at the end of the BRG time-out, both SCL and SDA are still high, the SDA pin is driven low, the BRG is reloaded and begins counting. At the end of the count, regardless of the status of the SCL pin, the SCL pin is driven low and the Repeated START condition is complete (Figure 9-23).

9.2.18.3 Bus Collision During a STOP Condition
Bus collision occurs during a STOP condition if: a) After the SDA pin has been de-asserted and
allowed to float high, SDA is sampled low after the BRG has timed out.
b) After the SCL pin is de-asserted, SCL is sam-
pled low before SDA goes high.
The STOP condition begins with SDA asserted low. When SDA is sampled low, the SCL pin is allowed to float. When th e pin i s sa mple d hi gh (c loc k ar bit rati on) , the baud rate generator is loaded with SSPADD<6:0> and counts down to 0. After the BRG times o ut, SDA i s sampled. If SDA is sampled low, a bus collision has occurred. This is due to another master attempting to drive a data ' 0'. If the SCL pin is sample d low before SDA is allowed to float hi gh, a bus collis ion occurs. Thi s is a case of another master attempting to drive a data '0' (Figure 9-25).

10.0 ADDRESSABLE UNIVERSAL SYNCHRONOUS ASYNCHRONOUS RECEIVER T RANSMITTER (USART)

The Universal Synchronous Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter (USART) module is one of the two serial I/O modules . (USA RT is als o know n as a S erial Com­munications Interface or SCI.) The USART can be con­figured as a full duplex asynchronous system that can communicate with pe ripheral devi ces s uch as CR T ter­minals and perso nal comp uters, or it can be configure d as a half duplex s yn chronous system th at c an co mm u­nicate with periphera l de vi ces su ch as A/ D or D /A in te­grated circuits, serial EEPROMs etc.
The USART can be configured in the following modes:
• Asynchronous (full duplex)
• Synchronous - Master (half duplex)
• Synchronous - Slave (half duplex) Bit SPEN (RCSTA<7>) and bits TRISC<7:6> have to
be set in order to configure pins RC6/TX/CK and RC7/RX/DT as the Universal Synchronous Asynchro­nous Receiver Transmitter.
The USART module also has a multi-processor com­munication capability using 9-bit address detection.

10.1 USART Baud Rate Generator (BRG)

The BRG supports both the Asynchronous and Syn­chronous modes of the USART. It is a dedicated 8-bit baud rate generator. The SPBRG register controls the period of a free running 8-bit timer. In Asynchronous mode, bit BRGH (TXSTA<2>) also controls the baud rate. In Synchronous mode, bit BRGH is ignored. Table 10-1 shows the formula for computation of the baud rate for differen t US ART modes which only a ppl y in Master mode (internal clock).
Given the desired baud rate and F integer value for the SPBRG register can be calculated
OSC, the nearest
It may be advantageous to use the high baud rate (BRGH = 1), even for slower baud clocks. This is because the FOSC/(16(X + 1)) equation c an red uce the baud rate error in some cases.
Writing a new value to the SPBRG register causes the BRG timer to be reset (or cleared). This ensures the BRG does not wait for a timer overflow before output­ting the new baud rate.

10.1.1 SAMPLING

The data on the RC7/RX/D T pin is sampled three times by a majority detect circuit to determine if a high or a low level is present at the RX pin.

10.2 USART Asynchronous Mode

In this mode, the USART uses standard non-return-to­zero (NRZ) format (one START bit, eight or nine data bits, and one STOP bit). The most common data format is 8-bits. An on-chip, dedicated, 8-bit baud rate gener­ator can be used to derive standard baud rate fre quen­cies from the oscillator. The USART transmits and receives the LSb fi rst. The t r ans mitte r and receiver are functionally indep endent, b ut use th e same data f ormat and baud rate. The baud rate generator produces a clock, either x16 or x64 of the bit shift rate, depending on bit BRGH (TXSTA<2>). Parity is not supported by the hardware, but can b e implemented i n softwa re (and stored as the ninth data bit). Asynchronous mode is stopped during SLEEP.
Asynchronous mode is selected by clearing bit SYNC (TXSTA<4>).
The USART Asynchronous module consists of the fol­lowing important elements:
• Baud Rate Generator
• Sampling Circuit
• Asynchronous Transmitter
• Asynchronous Receiver
10.2.1 USART ASYNCHRONOUS
TRANSMITTER
The USART transmitter block diagram is shown in Figure 10-1. The heart of t he trans mitte r is the t ransm it (serial) shift register (TSR). The shif t register obt ains its data from the read/write transmit buffer, TXREG. The TXREG register is loaded with data in software. The TSR register is not loaded until the STOP bit has been transmitted from the previous load. As soon as the STOP bit is transmitted, the TSR is loaded with new data from the TXREG register (if available). Once the TXREG register transfers the data to the TSR register (occurs in one T flag bit TXIF (PIR1<4>) is set. This interrupt can be
CY), the TXR EG re gist er i s em pty and
enabled/disabled by setting/clearing enable bit TXIE ( PIE1<4>). Flag bit TXIF will be set, regardless of the state of enabl e bit TX IE an d cann ot be cl ear ed in soft­ware. It will reset only wh en ne w dat a is loa ded i nto th e TXREG register . While flag bi t TXIF indicates the status of the TXREG register, another bit TRMT (TXSTA<1>) shows the status of the TSR register. Status bit TRMT is a read only bi t, wh ic h i s se t w he n the TSR r egister is empty. No interrupt logic is tied to this bit, so the user has to poll this bit in order to determine if the TSR reg­ister is empty.
Note 1: The TSR register is not mapped in data
memory, so it is not available to the user.
2: Flag bit TXIF is set when enabl e bit TXEN
is set. TXIF is cleared by loadi ng TXRE G.
Transmission is enabled by setting enable bit TXEN (TXSTA<5>). The actual transmission will not occur until the TXREG register has been loaded with data and the baud rate generator (BRG) has produced a shift clock (Figure 10-2). The transmission can also be started by first loading the TXREG register and then setting enable bit TXEN. Normally, when transmission is first started, the TSR register is empty. At that point, transfer to the TXREG register will result in an immedi­ate transfe r to TSR, result ing in an empty TXR EG. A back-to-back transfer is thus possible (Figure 10-3). Clearing enable bit TXEN during a transmission will cause the transmis s ion to be ab orte d a nd will reset the transmitter. As a result, the RC6/TX/CK pin will revert to hi-impedance.
In order to select 9-bit transmission, transmit bit TX9 (TXSTA<6>) should be set and the ninth bit should be written to TX9D (TXSTA<0>). The ninth bit must be written before writing the 8-bit data to the TXREG reg­ister. This is because a data write to the TXREG regis­ter can result in an immediate tra nsfer of the dat a to the TSR register (if the TSR is empty). In such a case, an incorrect ninth data bit may be loaded in the TSR register.

Note: This timing diagram shows two conse cutive transmissions.
When setting up an Asynchronous Transmission, follow these steps:
1. Initialize the SPBRG register for the ap prop ria te baud rate. If a high speed baud rate is desired, set bit BRGH (Section 10.1).
2. Enable the asynchronous serial port by clearing bit SYNC and setting bit SPEN.
3. If interrupts are desired, then set enable bit
5. Enable the transmission by setting bit TXEN, which will also set bit TXIF.
6. If 9-bit transmission is selected, the ninth bit should be loaded in bit TX9D.
7. Load data to the TXREG register (starts trans­mission).
8. If using interrupts, ensure that GIE and PEIE (bits 7 and 6) of the INTCON register are set.

4. If 9-bit transmission is desired, then set transmit bit TX9.
