1.0 DEVICE OVERVIEW

This document co nta i ns dev ic e spec if i c in for m at ion fo r the following devices:
• PIC18F13K50 • PIC18F14K50
• PIC18LF13K50 • PIC18LF14K50
This family offers the advantages of all PIC18 microcontrollers – namely, high computational performance at an economical price – with the addition of high-endurance, Flash program memory. On top of these features, the PIC18F1XK50/PIC18LF1XK50 family introduces design enhancements that make these microcontrollers a logical choice for many high­performance, power sensitive applications.

1.1 New Core Features

1.1.1 nanoWatt XLP™ TECHNOLOGY

All of the devices in the PIC 18F1 XK50/PIC18L F1XK50 family incorporate a range of features that can signifi­cantly reduce power consumption during operation. Key items include:
Alternate Run Modes: By clocking the controller from the Timer1 source or the internal oscillator block, power consumption during code execution can be reduced by as much as 90%.
Multiple Idle Modes: The controller can also run with its CPU core disabled but the peripherals still active. In these st ates, powe r consumpt ion can be reduced even further, to as little as 4% of normal operation requirements.
On-the-fly Mode Switching: The power­managed modes a re invo ked b y user code durin g operation, allowing the user to incorporate power­saving ideas into their application’s software design.
Low Consumption in Key Modules: The power requirements for both Timer1 and the Watchdog Timer are minimized. See Section 27.0 “Electrical Specifications” for values.

1.1.2 MULTIPLE OSCILLATOR OPTIONS AND FEATURES

All of the devices in th e PIC18F1X K50/P IC18LF1XK5 0 family offer ten different oscillator options, allowing users a wide range o f choices i n develo ping applica tion hardware. These include:
• Four Crystal modes, using crystals or ceramic
resonators
• External Clock mode s, offe ring the option of us ing
two pins (oscillator input and a divide-by-4 clock output) or one pin (oscillator input, with the sec­ond pin reassigned as general I/O)
• External RC Oscillator modes with the same pin
options as the External Clock modes
• An internal oscillator block which contains a
16 MHz HFINTOSC oscillator and a 31 kHz LFINTOSC oscillator which together provide 8 user selectable clock frequencies, from 31 kHz to 16 MHz. This option frees the two oscillator pins for use as additional general purpose I/O.
• A Phase Lock Loop (PLL) frequency multiplier,
available to both the high-speed crystal and inter­nal oscillator m odes, which a llows clo ck speeds o f up to 48 MHz. Used with the internal osci llator , th e PLL gives users a complete selection of clock speeds, from 31 kHz to 32 MHz – all without using an external crystal or clock circuit.
Besides its ava ilability as a cloc k source, the intern al oscillator block pro vid es a s t ab le re ference source that gives the family additional features for robust operation:
Fail-Safe Clock Monitor: This option constantly
monitors the main clock source against a refer­ence signal provid ed by the LFINTOSC. If a c lo ck failure occurs, the controller is switched to the internal oscillator block, allowing for continued operation or a safe application shutdown.
T wo-Speed Start-up: This option allows the
internal oscillator to serve as the clock source from Power-on Reset, or wake-up from Sleep mode, until the primary clock source is available.

PIC18F1XK50/PIC18LF1XK50

1.2 Other Special Features

Memory Endurance: The Flash cells for both program memory and data EEPROM are rated to last for many thousands of erase/write cycles – up to 1K for program memory and 100K for EEPROM. Data retention without refresh is conservatively estimated to be greater than 40 years.
Self-programmability: These devices can write to their own program memory spaces under internal software control. Using a bootloader routine located in the code protected Boot Block, it is possible to create an application that can update itself in the field.
Extended Instruction Set: The PIC18F1XK50/ PIC18LF1XK50 family introduces an optional extension to the PIC18 ins truction set, whic h adds 8 new instructions and an Indexed Addressing mode. This extension has been specifically designed to optimize re-entrant application code originally deve loped in high -level la nguages, such as C.
Enhanced CCP module: In PWM mode, this module provides 1, 2 or 4 modulated outputs for controlling half-bridge and full-bridge drivers. Other features include:
- Auto-Shutdown, for disabling PWM outputs
on interrupt or other select conditions
- Auto-Restart, to reactivate outputs once the
condition has cleared
- Output steering to selectively enable one or
more of 4 outputs to provide the PWM signal.
Enhanced Addressable USART: This serial communication module is capable of standard RS-232 operation an d provides support for th e LIN bus protocol. Other enhancements include automatic baud rate detection and a 16-bit Baud Rate Generator for improved resolution.
10-bit A/D Converter: This module incorporates programmable acquisition time, allowing for a channel to be selected and a conversion to be initiated withou t wai ting for a sampling perio d and thus, reduce code overhead.
Extended Watchdog Timer (WDT): This enhanced version incorporates a 16-bit postscaler, allowing an extended time-out range that is stable across operati ng vol t age and temperature. See Section 27.0 “Electrical
Specifications” for time-out periods.

1.3 Details on Individual Family Members

Devices in the PIC18F1XK50/PIC18LF1XK50 family are available in 20-pin packages. Block diagrams for the two groups are shown in Figure 1-1.

2.0 OSCILLATOR MODULE

2.1 Overview

The oscillator module has a variety of clock sources and features that allow it to be used in a wide range of applications, maximizing performance and minimizing power consumption. Figure 2-1 illustrates a block diagram of the oscillator module .
Key features of the oscillator module include:
• System Clock Selection
- Primary External Oscillator
- Secondary External Oscillator
- Internal Oscillator
• Oscillator Start-up Timer
• System Clock Selection
• Clock Switching
• 4x Phase Lock Loop Frequency Multiplier
• CPU Clock Divider
• USB Operation
- Low Speed
- Full Speed
• Two-Speed Start-up Mode
• Fail-Safe Clock Monitoring

2.2 System Clock Selection

The SCS bits of the OSCCON register select between the following clock sources:
• Primary External Oscillator
• Secondary External Oscillator
• Internal Oscilla tor Note: The frequency of the system clock will be
referred to as F document.

TABLE 2-1: SYSTEM CLOCK SELECTION

Configuration Selection
SCS <1:0> System Clock 1x Internal Oscillator 01 Secondary External Oscillator 00
(Default after Reset)
The default state of the SCS bits sets th e sy s tem cl oc k to be the oscillator defined by the FOSC bits of the CONFIG1H Configuration register. The system clock will always be defined by the FOSC bits until the SCS bits are modified in software.
When the Internal Oscillator is selected as the system clock, the IRCF bits of the OSCCON register and the INTSRC bit of the OSCTUNE register will select either the LFINTOSC or the HFINTOSC. The LFINTOSC is selected when the IRCF<2:0> = 000 and the INTSRC bit is clear. All other combinations of the IRCF bits and the INTSRC bit will select the HFINTOSC as the system clock.

2.3 Primary External Oscillator

The Primary External Oscillator’s mode of operation is selected by setting the FOSC<3:0> bits of the CONFIG1H Co nfiguration regi ster. The oscill ator can be set to the following modes:
• LP: Low-Power Crystal
• XT: Crystal/Ceramic Resonator
• HS: High-Speed Crystal Resonator
• RC: External RC Oscillator
• EC: External Clock
Additionally, the Primary External Oscillator may be shut-down under firmware control to save power.

2.3.1 PRIMARY EXTERNAL OSCILLATOR SHUT-DOWN

The Primary External Oscillator can be enabled or dis­abled via software. To enable software control of the Primary External Oscillator, the PCLKEN bit of the CONFIG1H Configuration register must be set. With the PCLKEN bit set, the Primary External Oscillator is controlled by the PRI_SD b it of the OSCCON2 register. The Primary External Oscillator will be enabled when the PRI_SD bit is set, and disabled when the PRI_SD bit is clear.
Note: The Primary External Oscillator cannot be
shut down when it is selected as the System Clock. To shut down the oscillator, the system clock source must be either the Secondary Oscillator or the Internal Oscillator.

2.3.2 LP, XT AND HS OSCILLATOR MODES

The LP, XT and HS modes support the use of quartz crystal resonators or ceramic resonators connected to OSC1 and OSC2 (Figu re 2-2). The mode selects a low , medium or high gain setting of the internal inverter­amplifier to support v arious resonato r types and spee d.
LP Oscillator mode selects the lowest gain setting of the internal inverter-amplifier. LP mode current consumption is the least of the three modes. This mode is best suited to drive resonators with a low drive level specification, for example, tuning fork type crystals.
XT Oscillator mode selects the intermediate gain setting of the internal inverter-amplifier. XT mode current consumption is the medi um of the three modes. This mode is best suited to drive resonators with a medium drive level specification.
HS Oscillator mode select s the highest gain setting of the internal inverter-amplifie r. H S mode current consum ption is the highest of the three modes. This mode is best suited for resonators that require a high drive setting.
Figure 2-2 and Figure 2-3 show typical circuits for quartz crystal and ceramic resonators, respectively.

2.3.3 EXTERNAL RC

The External Res istor-Capacitor (RC) mode supports the use of an external RC circuit. This allows the designer maximum flexibility i n frequency choice while keeping costs to a minimum when clock accuracy is not required. In RC mode, the RC circuit connects to OSC1, allowing OSC2 to be configured as an IO or as CLKOUT. The CLKOUT function is selected by the FOSC bits of the CONFIG1H Configuration register. When OSC2 is configured as C LKOUT, the frequency at the pin is the frequency of the RC oscillator divided by
4. Figure 2-4 shows the external RC mode connections.
FIGURE 2-4: EXTERNAL RC MODES
The RC oscillator frequency is a function of the supply voltage, the r esistor REXT, the capacitor CEXT and th e operating temperature. Other factors affecting the oscillator frequency are:
• Input threshold voltage variation
• Component tolerances
• Variation in capacitance due to packaging

2.3.4 EXTERNAL CLOCK

The External Clock (EC) mode allows an externally generated logic level clock to be used as the system’s clock source. When operating in this mode, the external clock source is connected to the OSC1 allowing OSC2 to be configured as an I/O or as CLKOUT. The CLKOUT function is selected by the FOSC bits of the CONFIG1H Configuration register. When OSC2 is configured as CLKOUT, the frequency at the pin is the frequency of the EC oscillator divided by 4.
Three different power settings are available for EC mode. The power s ettings allow fo r a reduced I
DD of the
device, if the EC clock is known to be in a specific range. If there is an expected range of frequencies for the EC clock, select the power mode for the highest frequency.
EC Low power 0 – 250 kHz EC Medium power 250 kHz – 4 MHz EC High power 4 – 48 MHz

2.4 Secondary External Oscillator

The Secondary External Oscillator is designed to drive an external 32.768 kHz crystal. This oscillator is enabled or disabled by the T1OSC EN bit of the T1C ON register. See Section 11.0 “Timer1 Module” for more information.
DS41350C-page 14 Preliminary © 2009 Microchip Technology Inc.
PIC18F1XK50/PIC18LF1XK50

2.5 Internal Oscillator

The internal oscillator module contains two inde pendent oscillators which are:
• LFINTOSC: Low-Frequency Internal Oscillator
• HFINTOSC: High-Frequency Internal Oscillator When operating with either oscillator, OSC1 will be an
I/O and OSC2 will be either an I/O or CLKOUT. The CLKOUT function is selected by the FOSC bits of the CONFIG1H Configuration register. When OSC2 is configured as CLKOUT, the frequency at the pin is the frequency of the Internal Oscillator divided by 4.

2.5.1 LFINTOSC

The Low-Frequency Internal Oscillator (LFINTOSC) is a 31 kHz internal clock source. The LFINTOSC oscillator is the clock source for:
• Power-up Timer
• Watchdog Timer
• Fail-Safe Clock Monitor The LFINTOSC is enabled when any of the following
conditions are true:
• Power-up Timer is enabled (PWRTEN= 0)
• Watchdog Timer is enabled (WDTEN = 1)
• Watchdog Timer is enabled by software (WDTEN = 0 and SWDTEN = 1)
• Fail-Safe Clock Monitor is enabled (FCMEM= 1)
•SCS1=1 and IRCF<2:0> = 000 and INTSRC = 0
• FOSC<3:0> selects the internal oscillator as the primary clock and IRCF<2:0> = 000 and INTSRC = 0
• IESO = 1 (Two-Speed Start-up) and IRCF<2:0> = 000 and INTSRC = 0
The HFIOFS bit of the OSCCON register indicates whether the HFINTOSC is stable.
Note 1: Selecting 31 kHz from the HFINTOSC
oscillator requires IRCF<2:0> = 000 and the INTSRC bit of the OSCTUNE regist er to be set. If the INTSRC bit is clear, the system clock will come from the LFINTOSC.
2: Additional adjustments to the frequency
of the HFINTOSC can made via the OSCTUNE registers. See Register 2-3 for more details
The HFINTOSC is enabled if any of the following conditions are true:
• SCS1 = 1 and IRCF<2:0> 000
• SCS1 = 1 and IRCF<2:0> = 000 and INTSRC = 1
• FOSC<3:0> selects the internal oscillator as the primary clock and
- IRCF<2:0> 000 or
- IRCF<2:0> = 000 and INTSRC = 1
• IESO = 1 (Two-Speed Start-up) and
- IRCF<2:0> 000 or
- IRCF<2:0> = 000 and INTSRC = 1
•FCMEM=1 (Fail Safe Clock Monitoring) and
- IRCF<2:0> 000 or
- IRCF<2:0> = 000 and INTSRC = 1

2.5.2 HFINTOSC

The High-Frequency Intern al Oscillat or (HFINT OSC) is a precision oscillator that is factory-calibrated to operate at 16 MHz. The output of the HFINTOSC connects to a postscaler and a multiplexer (see Figure 2-1). One of eight frequencies can be selected using the IRCF<2:0> bits of the OSCCON register. The following frequencies are available from the HFINTOSC:
•16 MHZ
•8 MHZ
•4 MHZ
•2 MHZ
• 1 MHZ (Default after Reset)
• 500 kHz
• 250 kHz
•31 kHz

2.6 Oscillator Control

The Oscillator Control (OSCCON) (Register 2-1) and the Oscillator Control 2 (OSCCON2) (Registe r 2-2) registers control the system clock and frequency selection options.

2.6.1 OSCTUNE REGISTER

The HFINTOSC is factory calibrated, but can be adjusted in software by writing to the TUN<5:0> bits of the OSCTUNE register (Register 2-3).
The defaul t value of the TUN<5: 0> is ‘000000’. The value is a 6-bit two’s complement number.
When the OSCTUNE register is modified, the HFINTOSC frequency will begin shifting to the new frequency. Code execution continues during this shift, while giving no indication that the shift has occurred.
OSCTUNE does not affect the LFINTOSC frequency. The operation of features that depen d on the LFINTOSC clock source frequency, such as the Power-up Timer
(PWRT), Watchdog T imer (WDT), Fail-Safe Clock Mon­itor (FSCM) and peripherals, are not affected by the change in frequency.
The OSCTUNE register also implements the INTSRC and SPLLEN bits, which control certain features of the internal oscillator block.
The INTSRC bit allows users to select which internal oscillator pr ovides the clock sourc e when the 31 kHz frequency option is se lected . This is c overed in great er detail in Section 2.5.1 “LFINTOSC”.
The SPLLEN bit co ntrols the operation o f the freque ncy multiplier. For more details about the function of the SPLLEN bit see Section 2.9 “4x Phase Lock Loop
Frequency Multiplier”

2.7 Oscillator Start-up Timer

The Primary External Oscillator, when configured for LP , XT or HS modes, incorporates an Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST). The OST ensures that the oscillator starts and provides a stable clock to the oscillator module. The OST times out when 1024 oscillation s on OSC1 have occurred . Duri ng th e OST peri od, wi th th e syst em clock set to t he Primary Exte rnal Oscill ator , the prog ram counter does not increment suspending program execution. The OST period will occur following:
• Power-o n Reset (POR )
• Brown-out Reset (BOR)
• Wake-up from Sleep
• Oscillator being enabled
• Expiration of Power-up Timer (PWRT) In order to minimize laten cy between externa l oscillator
start-up and code execution, the Two-Speed Start-up mode can be selec ted. See Sectio n 2.12 “Two -Spe ed
Start-up Mode” for more information.

2.8 Clock Switching

The device cont ains circ uitry t o preve nt clo ck “gl itches” due to a change of the system clock source. To accomplish this, a short pause in the system clock occurs during the clock switch. If the new clock source is not stable (e.g., OST is active), the device will continue to execute from the old clock source until the new clock source becomes stable. The timing of a clock switch is a s follows:
1. SCS<1:0> bits of the OSCCON register are
modified.
2. The system clock will continue to operate from
the old clock until the new clock is ready.
3. Clock switch circ uitry waits for two consecuti ve
rising edges of the old clock after the new clock is ready.
4. The system c lock is hel d low, star ting at the next
falling edge of the old clock.
5. Clock switch cir cui try wait s for an ad diti onal two
rising edges of the new clock.
6. On the next falling edge of the new clock, the
low hold on the system clock is release and the new clock is switched in as the system clock.
7. Clock switch is complete.
Refer to Figure 2-5 for more details.

2.9 4x Phase Lock Loop Frequency Multiplier

A Phase Locked Loop (PLL) circuit is provided as an option for users who wish to use a lower-frequency external oscillator or to operate at 32 MHz with the HFINTOSC. The PLL is designed for an input frequency from 4 MHz to 12 MHz. The PLL multiplies its input frequency by a factor of four when the PLL is enabled. This may be useful for customers who are concerned with EMI, due to high-frequency crystals.
Two bits control the PLL: the PLLEN bit of the CONFIG1H Configurati on reg is ter an d the SPLL EN bit of the OSCTUNE register. The PLL is enabled when the PLLEN bit is set and it is under software control when the PLLEN bit is cleared.

TABLE 2-3: PLL CONFIGURATION

PLLEN SPLLEN PLL Status
1xPLL enabled 01PLL enabled 00PLL disabled
Note: The HFINTOSC may use the PLL when
the postscaler is set to 8 MHz and the FOSC<3:0> bits of the CONFIG1H Configuration register are selected for Internal Oscillator operati on.

2.10 CPU Clock Divider

2.11 USB Operation

The USB module is des igned to operat e in two dif ferent modes:
• Low Speed
• Full Sp eed Because of timing requirements imposed by the USB
specifications, the Primary External Oscillator is required for the USB module. The FOSC bits of the CONFIG1H Configuratio n register must be se t to either External Clock (EC) High-power or HS mode with a clock frequency of 6, 12 or 48 MHz.

2.11.1 LOW SPEED OPERATION

For Low Speed USB operation, a 6MHz clock is required for the USB module. To generate the 6 MHz clock, only 2 Oscillator modes are allowed:
• EC High-power mode
•HS mode Table 2-4 shows the recommended Clock mode for
low-speed operation.

2.11.2 FULL-SPEED OPERATION

For full-speed USB operation, a 48 MHz clock is required for the USB module. To generate the 48 MHz clock, only 2 Oscillator modes are allowed:
• EC High-power mode
•HS mode T able2-5 shows the recommende d Clock mode for full-
speed operation.
The CPU Clock Divider allows the system clock to run at a slower speed than the Low/Full Speed USB module clock while sharing the same clock source. Only the oscillator defin ed by the set tin gs of the FOSC bits of the CO NFIG1H Configur ation register may be used with the CPU Clock Divider. The CPU Clock Divider is controlled by the CPUDIV bits of the CONFIG1L Configuration register. Setting the CPUDIV bits will set the system clock to:
• Equal the clock speed of the USB module
• Half the clock speed of the USB module
• One third the clock speed of the USB module
• One fourth the clock speed of the USB module
For more information on the CPU Clock Divider, see Figure 2-1 and Register 24-1 CONFIG1L.

2.12 Two-Speed Start-up Mode

Two-Speed Start-up mode provides additional power savings by minimizing the latency between external Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) and code execution. In applications that make heavy use of the Sleep mode, Two-Speed Start-up will remo ve the OST p eriod, which can reduce the overall power consumption of the device.
Two-Speed Start-up mode is enabled by setting the IESO bit of the CONFIG1H Con figuration register. With Two-Speed Start-up enabled, the device will execute instructions using the internal oscillator during the Primary External Oscillator OST period.
When the system clock is set to the Primary External Oscillator and the oscillator is configured for LP, XT or HS modes, the device wil l not ex ec ute co de du ring the OST period. The OST will suspend program execution until 1024 oscilla tions are counted. Tw o-Spee d S tart-up mode minimizes the delay in code execution by operating from the internal oscillator while the OST is active. The sys tem clock wi ll switch back to the Pr imary External Oscillator after the OST period has expired.
Two-speed Start-up will become active after:
• Power-o n Reset (POR )
• Power-up Timer (PWRT), if enabled
• Wake-up from Sleep
The OSTS bit of the OSCCON register reports which oscillator the device is currently using for operation. The device is running fro m the os cill ator defined by the FOSC bits of the CONFIG1H Configuration register when the OSTS bit is set. The device is running from the internal oscillator when the OSTS bit is clear.

2.13 Fail-Safe Clock Monitor

The Fail-Safe Clock Monit or (FSC M) al lows the dev ic e to continue operat ing sh ould the external osci ll ato r fai l. The FSCM can detect oscillator failure any time after the Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) has expired. The FSCM is enabled by setting the FCMEN bit in the CONFIG1H Configuration register. The FSCM is applicable to all external oscillator modes (LP, XT, HS, EC and RC).

FIGURE 2-6: FSCM BLOCK DIAGRAM

2.13.1 FAIL-SAFE DETECTION

The FSCM module detects a failed oscillator by comparing the ex terna l oscil lator t o the FSC M samp le clock. The sample clock is generated by dividing the LFINTOSC by 64. See Figure2-6. Inside the fail detector block is a latch. The external clock sets the latch on each falling edge of the external clock. The sample clock cle ars the latch on each ris ing edge of th e sample clock. A f ail ure is detected when an ent ire hal f­cycle of the sample clock elapses before the primary clock goes low.

2.13.2 FAIL-SAFE OPERATION

When the external clock fails, the FSCM switches the device clock to an internal cl ock sourc e and set s the bit flag OSCFIF of t he PIR 2 r egi ste r. The OSCFIF flag will generate an interrupt if the OSCFIE bit of the PIE2 register is also set. The device firmware can then take steps to mitigate the problems that may arise from a failed clock. The system clock will continue to be sourced from the internal clock source until the device firmware successfully restarts the external oscillator and switches back to external operation. An automatic transition back to the failed clock source will not occur.
The internal clock source chosen by the FSCM is determined by the IRCF<2:0> bits of the OSCCON register. This allows the internal oscillator to be configured before a failure occurs.

2.13.3 FAIL-SAFE CONDITION CLEARING

The Fail-Safe condition is cleared by either one of the following:
• Any Reset
• By toggli ng the SCS1 bit of the OSCCON register Both of these conditions restart the OST. While the
OST is running, the device continues to operate from the INTOSC selected in OSCCON. When the OST times out, the Fail-Safe condition is cleared and the device automatically switches over to the external clock source. The Fail-Safe condition need not be cleared before the OSCFIF flag is cleared.

2.13.4 RES ET OR WAKE-UP FROM SLEEP

The FSCM is designed to detect an oscillator failure after the Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) has expired. The OST is used after waking up from Sleep and after
FIGURE 2-7: FSCM TIMING DIAGRAM
any type of Reset. The OST is not used with the EC or RC Clock modes so that the FSCM will be active as soon as the R eset or wake- up has complet ed. When the FSCM is enabled, the Two-Speed Start-up is also enabled. Therefore, the device will always be executing code while the OST is operating.
Note: Due to the wide range of oscillator start-up
times, the Fail-Safe circuit is not active during oscillator start-up (i.e., after exiting Reset or Sleep). After an appropriate amount of time, the user should check the OSTS bit of the OSCCON register to verify the oscillator start-up and that the system clock switchover has successfully completed.

3.0 MEMORY ORGANIZATION

There are three types of memory in PIC18 Enhanced microcontroller devices:
• Program Memory
• Data RAM
• Data EEPROM As Harvard architecture dev ices, the dat a and progra m
memories use separate busses; this allows for concur­rent access of the two memory spaces. The data EEPROM, for practical purposes, can be regarded as a peripheral device, since it is addresse d and accessed through a set of control registers.
Additional detailed information on the operation of the Flash program memory is provided in Section 4.0 “Flash Program Memory”. Data EEPROM is discussed s eparately in Section 5.0 “Data EEPROM
Memory”.

3.1 Program Memory Organization

PIC18 microcontrollers implement a 21-bit program counter, which is capable of addressing a 2-Mbyte program memory sp ace. Accessi ng a loca tion betwee n the upper boundary of the physically implemented memory and the 2-Mbyte address will return all ‘0’s (a NOP instruction).
This family of devices contain the following:
• PIC18F13K50: 8 Kbytes of Flash Memory, up to 4,096 single-word instructions
• PIC18F14K50: 16 Kbytes of Flash Memory, up to 8,192 single-word instructions
PIC18 devices have two interrupt vectors and one Reset vector. The Reset vector address is at 0000h and the interrupt vector addresses are at 0008h and 0018h.
The program memory map for PIC18F1XK50/ PIC18LF1XK50 devices is shown in Figure 3-1. Memory block details are shown in Figure 24-2.

3.1.1 PROGRAM COUNTER

The Program Counter (PC ) specifies the address of th e instruction to fetch for execu tion. The PC is 21 bits wide and is contained in three separate 8-bit registers. The low byte, known as the PCL register, is both readable and writable. The high byt e, or PCH re gister, contains the PC<15:8> bits; i t is not directly re adable or writ able. Updates to the PCH register are perfo rmed through the PCLATH register. The upper byte is called PCU. This register contains the PC<20:16> bits; it is also not directly readable or writable. Updates to the PCU register are performed through the PCLATU register.
The contents of PCLATH and PCLATU are transferred to the program counter by any operation that writes PCL. Similarly, the upper two bytes of the program counter are transferred to P CLATH and PCLATU b y an operation that reads PCL. This is useful for computed offsets to the PC (see Section 3.1.4.1 “Computed GOTO”).
The PC addresses bytes in the program memory. To prevent the PC from becoming misaligned with word instructions, the Least Significant bit (LSb) of PCL is fixed to a value of ‘0’. The PC increments by 2 to address sequential instructions in the program mem­ory.
The CALL, RCALL, GOTO and program branch instructions write to the program counter directly. For these instructions, the contents of PCLATH and PCLATU are not transferred to the program counter.

3.1.2 RETURN ADDRESS STACK

The return address s tack allows any co mb ination of up to 31 program calls and interrupts to occur. The PC is pushed onto the stack when a CALL or RCALL instruction is execut ed or an interrupt is Acknow ledged. The PC value is pulled off the stack on a RETURN, RETLW or a RETFIE instruct ion. PC LATU and PCLATH are not affected by any of the RETURN or CALL instructions.
The stack operates as a 31-word by 21-bit RAM and a 5-bit Stack Pointer, STKPTR. The stac k space is not part of either program or da ta sp ace. The Stack Point er is readable and writable and the address on the top of the stack is readable and writable through the Top-of­Stack (TOS) Special File Registers. Data can also be pushed to, or popped from the stack, using these registers.
A CALL type instru ctio n cau ses a pu sh ont o the stack; the Stack Pointer is first incremented and the location pointed to by the Stack Pointer is written with the contents of the PC (already pointing to the instruction following the CALL). A RETURN type instruction causes a pop from the stack; the contents of the location pointed to by the STKPTR are transferred to the PC and then the Stack Pointer is decremented.
The Stack Pointer is initialized to ‘00000’ after all Resets. There is no RAM associated with the location corresponding to a Stack Pointer value of ‘00000’; this is only a Reset value. Stat us bit s in dic ate if the stack is full or has overflowed or has underflowed.
3.1.2.1 Top-of-Stack Access
Only the top of the return address stack (TOS) is readable and writable. A set of three registers, TOSU:TOSH:TOSL, hold the contents of the stack location pointed to by the STKPTR register (Figure 3-2). This allows users to implement a software stack if necessary. After a CALL, RCALL or interrupt, the software can read the pushed value by reading the TOSU:TOSH:TOSL registers. These values can be placed on a user defined software stack. At return time, the software can return these values to TOSU:TOSH:TOSL and do a return.
The user must disable the global interrupt enable bits while accessing the stack to prevent inadvertent stack corruption.

PIC18F1XK50/PIC18LF1XK50
3.1.2.2 Return Stack Pointer (STKPTR)
The STKPTR register (Register3-1) contains the S tac k Pointer value, the STKFUL (stack full) bit and the STKUNF (stack unde rflow) bits. The va lue of the Stack Pointer can be 0 through 31. The Stack Pointer incre­ments before values are pushed onto the stack and decrements after values are popped off the stack. On Reset, the Stack Pointer value will be zero. The user may read and wri te the Stack Pointer v alue. This f ea­ture can be used by a Real-Time Operating System (RTOS) for return stack maintenance.
After the PC is pu sh ed ont o the s ta ck 31 time s (witho ut popping any values off the stack), the STKFUL bit is set. The STKFUL bit is cleared by software or by a POR.
The action that takes place when the stack becomes full depends on the state of the STVREN (Stack Over­flow Reset Enable) Configuration bit. (Refer to Section 24.1 “Configuration Bits” for a description of the device Configuration bits.) If STVREN is set (default), the 31st push will push the (PC + 2) value onto the stack, set the STKFUL bit and reset the device. The STKFUL bit will remain set and the Stack Pointer will be set to zero.
If STVREN is cleared, the STKFUL bi t will be set on the 31st push and the Stack Pointer will increment to 31. Any additional pushes will not overwrite the 31st push and STKPTR will remain at 31.
When the stack has been popped enough times to unload the stac k, the next pop will ret urn a value of zero to the PC and sets the STKUNF bit, while the Stack Pointer remains at zero. The STKUNF bit will remain set until cleared by software or until a POR occurs.
Note: Returning a value of zero to the PC on an
3.1.2.3 PUSH and POP Instructions
Since the Top-of-Stack is readable and writable, the ability to push value s on to the st ac k an d pul l values off the stack without disturbing normal program execution is a desirable feature. The PIC18 instruction set includes two instructions, PUSH and POP, that permit the TOS to be manipulated under software control. TOSU, TOSH and T OS L can be m odifie d to plac e dat a or a return address on the stack.
The PUSH instruction places the current PC value onto the stack. This increments the Stack Pointer and loads the current PC value onto the stack.
The POP instruction discards the current TOS by decre­menting the Stack Pointer. The previous value pushed onto the stack then becomes the TOS value.
REGISTER 3-1: STKPTR: STACK POINTER REGISTER
underflow has the effect of vectoring the program to the Reset vector, where the stack conditions can be verified and appropriate actions can be taken. This is not the same as a Reset, as the contents of the SFRs are not affected.

3.1.2.4 Stack Full and Underflow Resets
Device Resets on stack overflow and stack underflow conditions are enabled by setting the STVREN bit in Configuration Register 4L. When STVREN is set, a ful l or underflow will set the appropriate STKFUL or STKUNF bit and then cause a device Reset. When STVREN is cleared, a full or underflow condi tion will set the appropriate STKFUL or STKUNF bit but not cause a device Reset. The STKFUL or STKUNF bits are cleared by the user software or a Power-on Reset.

3.1.3 FAST REGISTER STACK

A fast register stack is provided for the Status, WREG and BSR registers, to provide a “fast return” option for interrupts. The stack for each register is only one level deep and is neither readable nor writable. It is loaded with the current value of the corresponding register when the processor vectors for an interrupt. All inter­rupt sources will push values into the stack registers. The values in the registers are then loaded back into their associated registers if the RETFIE, FAST instruction is used to return from the interrupt.
If both low and high priority interrupts are enabled, the stack registers cannot be used reliably to return from low priority interrupts. If a high priority interrupt occurs while servicing a low priori ty interrupt, the stack register values stored by the low priority interrupt will be overwritten. In these cases, users must save the key registers by software during a low priority interrupt.
If interrupt priority is not used, all interrupts ma y use the fast register stack for returns from interrupt. If no interrupts are used, the fast register stac k can be used to restore the Status, WREG and BSR registers at the end of a subroutine call. To use the fast register stack for a subroutine call, a CALL label, FAST instruction must be executed to save the Status, WREG and BSR registers to the fast register stack. A RETURN, FAST instruction is then executed to restore these registers from the fast register stack.
Example 3-1 shows a source code example that uses the fast register stack during a subroutine call and return.

3.1.4 LOOK-UP TABLES IN PROGRAM MEMORY

There may be programming situations that require the creation of data structures, or look-up tables, in program memory. For PIC18 devices, look-up tables can be implemented in two ways:
• Computed GOTO
• Table Reads
3.1.4.1 Computed GOTO
A computed GOTO is accompli shed by adding an offset to the program counter. An example is shown in Example 3-2.
A look-up table can be formed with an ADDWF PCL instruction and a group of RETLW nn instructions. The W register is loaded with an of fs et into the table before executing a call to tha t t a ble . The first instruction o f th e called routine is the ADDWF PCL instruction. The next instruction executed will be one of the RETLW nn instructions that returns the value ‘nn’ to the calling function.
The offset value (in WREG) specifies the number of bytes that the program counter should advance and should be multiples of 2 (LSb = 0).
In this method, only one data byte may be stored in each instruction location and room on the return address stack is required.
EXAMPLE 3-2: COMPUTED GOTO USING
AN OFFSET VALUE
3.1.4.2 Table Reads and Table Writes
A better method of storing data in program memory allows two bytes of dat a to be stored in each instruction location.
Look-up table data may be stored two bytes per pro­gram word by using table reads and writes. The Table Pointer (T BLPTR) register s pecifies the byt e address and the Table Latch (TABLAT) register contains the data that is read from or written to program memory. Data is transferred to or from program memory one byte at a time.
Table read and table write operations are discussed further in Section 4.1 “Table Reads and Table
Writes”.
