1.0 DEVICE OVERVIEW

This document contains device specific information for the following devices:
• PIC18F2331 • PIC18F4331
• PIC18F2431 • PIC18F4431
This family offers the advantages of all PIC18 microcontrollers – namely, high computational perfor­mance at an economical price, with the addition of high endurance enhanced Flash program memory and a high-speed 10-bit A/D Converter. On top of these features, the PIC18F2331/2431/4331/4431 family introduces design enhancements that make these micro­controllers a logical choice for many high-performance, power control and motor control applications. These special peripherals include:
• 14-Bit Resolution Power Control PWM module (PCPWM) with Programmable Dead-time Insertion
• Motion Feedback Module (MFM), including a 3-Channel Input Capture (IC) module and Quadrature Encoder Interface (QEI)
• High-Speed 10-Bit A/D Converter (HSADC)
The PCPWM can generate up to eight complementary PWM outputs with dead-band time insertion. Overdrive current is detected by off-chip analog comparators or the digital Fault inputs (FLTA
The MFM Quadrature Encoder Interface provides precise rotor position feedback and/or velocity measurement. The MFM 3x input capture or external interrupts can be used to detect the rotor state for electrically commutated motor applications using Hall sensor feedback, such as BLDC motor drives.
PIC18F2331/2431/4331/4431 devices also feature Flash program memory and an internal RC oscillator with built-in LP modes.

1.1 New Core Features

1.1.1 nanoWatt Technology

All of the devices in the PIC18F2331/2431/4331/4431 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 are still active. In these states, power consumption can be reduced even further, to as little as 4% of normal operation requirements.
, FLTB).
On-the-Fly Mode Switching: The power- managed modes are invoked by user code during operation, allowing the user to incorporate power-saving ideas into their application’s software design.
Lower Consumption in Key Modules: The power requirements for both Timer1 and the Watchdog Timer have been reduced by up to 80%, with typical values of 1.1 and 2.1 μA, respectively.
1.1.2 MULTIPLE OSCILLATOR OPTIONS
AND FEATURES
All of the devices in the PIC18F2331/2431/4331/4431 family offer nine different oscillator options, allowing users a wide range of choices in developing application hardware. These include:
• Four Crystal modes, using crystals or ceramic resonators.
• Two External Clock modes, offering the option of using 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).
• Two External RC Oscillator modes, with the same pin options as the External Clock modes.
• An internal oscillator block, which provides an 8 MHz clock and an INTRC source (approxi­mately 31 kHz, stable over temperature and V as well as a range of 6 user-selectable clock frequencies (from 125 kHz to 4 MHz) for a total of 8 clock frequencies.
Besides its availability as a clock source, the internal oscillator block provides a stable reference 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 provided by the internal oscillator. If a clock failure occurs, the controller is switched to the internal oscillator block, allowing for continued low-speed operation or a safe application shutdown.
Two-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. This allows for code execution during what would otherwise be the clock start-up interval, and can even allow an application to perform routine background activities and return to Sleep without returning to full power operation.

PIC18F2331/2431/4331/4431

1.2 Other Special Features

Memory Endurance: The enhanced Flash cells for both program memory and data EEPROM are rated to last for many thousands of erase/write cycles – up to 100,000 for program memory and 1,000,000 for EEPROM. Data retention without refresh is conservatively estimated to be greater than 100 years.
Self-Programmability: These devices can write to their own program memory spaces under inter­nal software control. By using a bootloader routine located in the protected Boot Block at the top of program memory, it becomes possible to create an application that can update itself in the field.
Power Control PWM 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 on Fault detection and auto-restart to reactivate outputs once the condition has cleared.
Enhanced USART: This serial communication module is capable of standard RS-232 operation using the internal oscillator block, removing the need for an external crystal (and its accompanying power requirement) in applications that talk to the outside world. This module also includes Auto-Baud Detect and LIN capability.
High-Speed 10-Bit A/D Converter: This module incorporates programmable acquisition time, allowing for a channel to be selected and a conversion to be initiated without waiting for a sampling period and thus, reducing code overhead.
Motion Feedback Module (MFM): This module features a Quadrature Encoder Interface (QEI) and an Input Capture (IC) module. The QEI accepts two phase inputs (QEA, QEB) and one index input (INDX) from an incremental encoder. The QEI supports high and low precision position tracking, direction status and change of direction interrupt and velocity measurement. The input capture features 3 channels of independent input capture with Timer5 as the time base, a Special Event Trigger to other modules and an adjustable noise filter on each IC input.
Extended Watchdog Timer (WDT): This enhanced version incorporates a 16-bit prescaler, allowing a time-out range from 4 ms to over 2 minutes, that is stable across operating voltage and temperature.

1.3 Details on Individual Family Members

Devices in the PIC18F2331/2431/4331/4431 family are available in 28-pin (PIC18F2331/2431) and 40/44-pin (PIC18F4331/4431) packages. The block diagram for the two groups is shown in Figure 1-1.
The devices are differentiated from each other in three ways:
1. Flash program memory (8 Kbytes for PIC18F2331/4331 devices, 16 Kbytes for PIC18F2431/4431).
2. A/D channels (5 for PIC18F2331/2431 devices, 9 for PIC18F4331/4431 devices).
3. I/O ports (3 bidirectional ports on PIC18F2331/ 2431 devices, 5 bidirectional ports on PIC18F4331/4431 devices).
All other features for devices in this family are identical. These are summarized in Table 1-1.
The pinouts for all devices are listed in Table 1-2 and Table 1-3.

2.0 OSCILLATOR CONFIGURATIONS

2.1 Oscillator Types

The PIC18F2331/2431/4331/4431 devices can be operated in 10 different oscillator modes. The user can program the Configuration bits FOSC3:FOSC0 in Configuration Register 1H to select one of these 10 modes:
1. LP Low-Power Crystal

2.2 Crystal Oscillator/Ceramic Resonators

In XT, LP, HS or HSPLL Oscillator modes, a crystal or ceramic resonator is connected to the OSC1 and OSC2 pins to establish oscillation. Figure 2-1 shows the pin connections.
The oscillator design requires the use of a parallel cut crystal.
Note: Use of a series cut crystal may give a
frequency out of the crystal manufacturers’ specifications.

2.3 HSPLL

A Phase Locked Loop (PLL) circuit is provided as an option for users who wish to use a lower frequency crystal oscillator circuit, or to clock the device up to its highest rated frequency from a crystal oscillator. This may be useful for customers who are concerned with EMI due to high-frequency crystals.
The HSPLL mode makes use of the HS Oscillator mode for frequencies up to 10 MHz. A PLL then multi­plies the oscillator output frequency by 4 to produce an internal clock frequency up to 40 MHz.
The PLL is enabled only when the oscillator Configura­tion bits are programmed for HSPLL mode. If programmed for any other mode, the PLL is not enabled.

2.4 External Clock Input

The EC and ECIO Oscillator modes require an external clock source to be connected to the OSC1 pin. There is no oscillator start-up time required after a Power-on Reset or after an exit from Sleep mode.
In the EC Oscillator mode, the oscillator frequency divided by 4 is available on the OSC2 pin. This signal may be used for test purposes or to synchronize other logic. Figure 2-4 shows the pin connections for the EC Oscillator mode.

2.5 RC Oscillator

For timing insensitive applications, the RC and RCIO device options offer additional cost savings. The RC oscillator frequency is a function of the supply voltage, the resistor (R operating temperature. In addition to this, the oscillator frequency will vary from unit-to-unit due to normal manufacturing variation. Furthermore, the difference in lead frame capacitance between package types will also affect the oscillation frequency, especially for low
EXT values. The user also needs to take into account
C variation due to tolerance of external R and C components used. Figure 2-6 shows how the R/C combination is connected.
In the RC Oscillator mode, the oscillator frequency divided by 4 is available on the OSC2 pin. This signal may be used for test purposes or to synchronize other logic.

2.6 Internal Oscillator Block

The PIC18F2331/2431/4331/4431 devices include an internal oscillator block, which generates two different clock signals; either can be used as the system’s clock source. This can eliminate the need for external oscillator circuits on the OSC1 and/or OSC2 pins.
The main output (INTOSC) is an 8 MHz clock source, which can be used to directly drive the system clock. It also drives a postscaler, which can provide a range of clock frequencies from 125 kHz to 4 MHz. The INTOSC output is enabled when a system clock frequency from 125 kHz to 8 MHz is selected.
The other clock source is the internal RC oscillator (INTRC), which provides a 31 kHz output. The INTRC oscillator is enabled by selecting the internal oscillator block as the system clock source, or when any of the following are enabled:
• Power-up Timer
• Fail-Safe Clock Monitor
• Watchdog Timer
• Two-Speed Start-up
These features are discussed in greater detail in Section 22.0 “Special Features of the CPU”.
The clock source frequency (INTOSC direct, INTRC direct or INTOSC postscaler) is selected by configuring the IRCF bits of the OSCCON register (Register 2-2).

2.6.2 INTRC OUTPUT FREQUENCY

The internal oscillator block is calibrated at the factory to produce an INTOSC output frequency of 8.0 MHz. This changes the frequency of the INTRC source from its nominal 31.25 kHz. Peripherals and features that depend on the INTRC source will be affected by this shift in frequency.

2.6.3 OSCTUNE REGISTER

The internal oscillator’s output has been calibrated at the factory, but can be adjusted in the user’s applica­tion. This is done by writing to the OSCTUNE register (Register 2-1). The tuning sensitivity is constant throughout the tuning range.
When the OSCTUNE register is modified, the INTOSC and INTRC frequencies will begin shifting to the new frequency. The INTRC clock will reach the new frequency within 8 clock cycles (approximately 8*32μs = 256 μs). The INTOSC clock will stabilize within 1 ms. Code execution continues during this shift. There is no indication that the shift has occurred. Oper­ation of features that depend on the INTRC clock source frequency, such as the WDT, Fail-Safe Clock Monitor and peripherals, will also be affected by the change in frequency.

2.6.1 INTIO MODES

Using the internal oscillator as the clock source can eliminate the need for up to two external oscillator pins, which can then be used for digital I/O. Two distinct configurations are available:
• In INTIO1 mode, the OSC2 pin outputs F while OSC1 functions as RA7 for digital input and output.
• In INTIO2 mode, OSC1 functions as RA7 and OSC2 functions as RA6, both for digital input and output.

2.7 Clock Sources and Oscillator
Switching
Like previous PIC18 devices, the PIC18F2331/2431/ 4331/4431 devices include a feature that allows the sys­tem clock source to be switched from the main oscillator to an alternate low-frequency clock source. PIC18F2331/ 2431/4331/4431 devices offer two alternate clock sources. When enabled, these give additional options for switching to the various power-managed operating modes.
Essentially, there are three clock sources for these devices:
• Primary oscillators
• Secondary oscillators
• Internal oscillator block
The primary oscillators include the External Crystal and Resonator modes, the External RC modes, the External Clock modes and the internal oscillator block. The particular mode is defined on POR by the contents of Configuration Register 1H. The details of these modes are covered earlier in this chapter.
The secondary oscillators are those external sources not connected to the OSC1 or OSC2 pins. These sources may continue to operate even after the controller is placed in a power-managed mode.
PIC18F2331/2431/4331/4431 devices offer only the Timer1 oscillator as a secondary oscillator. This oscillator, in all power-managed modes, is often the time base for functions such as a Real-Time Clock (RTC).
Most often, a 32.768 kHz watch crystal is connected between the RC0/T1OSO and RC1/T1OSI pins. Like the LP mode oscillator circuit, loading capacitors are also connected from each pin to ground.
The Timer1 oscillator is discussed in greater detail in Section 12.2 “Timer1 Oscillator”.
In addition to being a primary clock source, the internal oscillator block is available as a power-managed mode clock source. The INTRC source is also used as the clock source for several special features, such as the WDT and Fail-Safe Clock Monitor.
The clock sources for the PIC18F2331/2431/4331/4431 devices are shown in Figure 2-8. See Section 12.0 “Timer1 Module” for further details of the Timer1 oscillator. See Section 22.1 “Configuration Bits” for Configuration register details.

2.7.1 OSCILLATOR CONTROL REGISTER

The OSCCON register (Register 2-2) controls several aspects of the system clock’s operation, both in full power operation and in power-managed modes.
The System Clock Select bits, SCS1:SCS0, select the clock source that is used when the device is operating in power-managed modes. The available clock sources are the primary clock (defined in Configuration Register 1H), the secondary clock (Timer1 oscillator) and the internal oscillator block. The clock selection has no effect until a SLEEP instruction is executed and the device enters a power-managed mode of operation. The SCS bits are cleared on all forms of Reset.
The Internal Oscillator Select bits, IRCF2:IRCF0, select the frequency output of the internal oscillator block that is used to drive the system clock. The choices are the INTRC source, the INTOSC source (8 MHz) or one of the six frequencies derived from the INTOSC postscaler (125 kHz to 4 MHz). If the internal oscillator block is supplying the system clock, changing the states of these bits will have an immediate change on the internal oscillator’s output.
The OSTS, IOFS and T1RUN bits indicate which clock source is currently providing the system clock. The OSTS indicates that the Oscillator Start-up Timer has timed out, and the primary clock is providing the system clock in
primary clock modes. The IOFS bit indicates when the
internal oscillator block has stabilized, and is providing the system clock in RC Clock modes. The T1RUN bit (T1CON<6>) indicates when the Timer1 oscillator is
providing the system clock in secondary clock modes. In
power-managed modes, only one of these three bits will be set at any time. If none of these bits are set, the INTRC is providing the system clock, or the internal oscillator block has just started and is not yet stable.
The IDLEN bit controls the selective shutdown of the controller’s CPU in power-managed modes. The use of these bits is discussed in more detail in Section 3.0
“Power-Managed Modes”
Note 1: The Timer1 oscillator must be enabled to
select the secondary clock source. The Timer1 oscillator is enabled by setting the T1OSCEN bit in the Timer1 Control register (T1CON<3>). If the Timer1 oscillator is not enabled, then any attempt to select a secondary clock source when executing a SLEEP instruction will be ignored.
2: It is recommended that the Timer1
oscillator be operating and stable before executing the SLEEP instruction, or a very long delay may occur while the Timer1 oscillator starts.

2.7.2 OSCILLATOR TRANSITIONS

The PIC18F2331/2431/4331/4431 devices contain circuitry to prevent clocking “glitches” when switching between clock sources. A short pause in the system clock occurs during the clock switch. The length of this pause is between 8 and 9 clock periods of the new clock source. This ensures that the new clock source is stable and that its pulse width will not be less than the shortest pulse width of the two clock sources.
Clock transitions are discussed in greater detail in
Section 3.1.2 “Entering Power-Managed Modes”.

2.8 Effects of Power-Managed Modes on the Various Clock Sources

When the device executes a SLEEP instruction, the system is switched to one of the power-managed modes, depending on the state of the IDLEN and SCS1:SCS0 bits of the OSCCON register. See Section 3.0 “Power-Managed Modes” for details.
When PRI_IDLE mode is selected, the designated primary oscillator continues to run without interruption. For all other power-managed modes, the oscillator using the OSC1 pin is disabled. The OSC1 pin (and OSC2 pin, if used by the oscillator) will stop oscillating.
In secondary clock modes (SEC_RUN and SEC_IDLE), the Timer1 oscillator is operating and providing the system clock. The Timer1 oscillator may also run in all power-managed modes if required to clock Timer1.
In internal oscillator modes (RC_RUN and RC_IDLE), the internal oscillator block provides the system clock source. The INTRC output can be used directly to provide the system clock and may be enabled to support various special features, regardless of the power-managed mode (see Section 22.2 “Watchdog
Timer (WDT)” through Section 22.4 “Fail-Safe Clock Monitor”). The INTOSC output at 8 MHz may be used
directly to clock the system, or may be divided down first. The INTOSC output is disabled if the system clock is provided directly from the INTRC output.
If the Sleep mode is selected, all clock sources are stopped. Since all the transistor switching currents have been stopped, Sleep mode achieves the lowest current consumption of the device (only leakage currents).
Enabling any on-chip feature that will operate during Sleep will increase the current consumed during Sleep. The INTRC is required to support WDT operation. The Timer1 oscillator may be operating to support a Real­Time Clock. Other features may be operating that do not require a system clock source (i.e., SSP slave, INTx pins, A/D conversions and others).

2.9 Power-up Delays

Power-up delays are controlled by two timers, so that no external Reset circuitry is required for most applications. The delays ensure that the device is kept in Reset until the device power supply is stable under normal circumstances, and the primary clock is operating and stable. For additional information on power-up delays, see Section 4.1 “Power-on Reset (POR)” through Section 4.5 “Brown-out Reset (BOR)”.
The first timer is the Power-up Timer (PWRT), which provides a fixed delay on power-up (parameter 33, Table 25-8), if enabled, in Configuration Register 2L. The second timer is the Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST), intended to keep the chip in Reset until the crys­tal oscillator is stable (LP, XT and HS modes). The OST does this by counting 1024 oscillator cycles before allowing the oscillator to clock the device.
When the HSPLL Oscillator mode is selected, the device is kept in Reset for an additional 2 ms, following the HS mode OST delay, so the PLL can lock to the incoming clock frequency.
There is a delay of 5 to 10 μs following POR, while the controller becomes ready to execute instructions. This delay runs concurrently with any other delays. This may be the only delay that occurs when any of the EC, RC or INTIO modes are used as the primary clock source.

3.0 POWER-MANAGED MODES

The PIC18F2331/2431/4331/4431 devices offer a total of six operating modes for more efficient power management (see Table 3-1). These operating modes provide a variety of options for selective power conservation in applications where resources may be limited (i.e., battery-powered devices).
There are three categories of power-managed modes:
• Sleep mode
• Idle modes
• Run modes
These categories define which portions of the device are clocked and sometimes, what speed. The Run and Idle modes may use any of the three available clock sources (primary, secondary or INTOSC multiplexer); the Sleep mode does not use a clock source.
The clock switching feature offered in other PIC18 devices (i.e., using the Timer1 oscillator in place of the primary oscillator), and the Sleep mode offered by all
®
devices (where all system clocks are stopped), are
PIC both offered in the PIC18F2331/2431/4331/4431 devices (SEC_RUN and Sleep modes, respectively). However, additional power-managed modes are available that allow the user greater flexibility in deter­mining what portions of the device are operating. The power-managed modes are event driven; that is, some specific event must occur for the device to enter or (more particularly) exit these operating modes.
For PIC18F2331/2431/4331/4431 devices, the power­managed modes are invoked by using the existing SLEEP instruction. All modes exit to PRI_RUN mode when triggered by an interrupt, a Reset or a WDT time­out (PRI_RUN mode is the normal full power execution mode; the CPU and peripherals are clocked by the primary oscillator source). In addition, power-managed Run modes may also exit to Sleep mode or their corresponding Idle mode.

3.1 Selecting Power-Managed Modes

Selecting a power-managed mode requires deciding if the CPU is to be clocked or not, and selecting a clock source. The IDLEN bit controls CPU clocking, while the SCS1:SCS0 bits select a clock source. The individual modes, bit settings, clock sources and affected modules are summarized in Table 3-1.

3.1.1 CLOCK SOURCES

The clock source is selected by setting the SCS bits of the OSCCON register. Three clock sources are avail­able for use in power-managed Idle modes: the primary clock (as configured in Configuration Register 1H), the secondary clock (Timer1 oscillator) and the internal oscillator block. The secondary and internal oscillator block sources are available for the power-managed modes (PRI_RUN mode is the normal full power execution mode; the CPU and peripherals are clocked by the primary oscillator source).

3.1.2 ENTERING POWER-MANAGED MODES

In general, entry, exit and switching between power­managed clock sources requires clock source switching. In each case, the sequence of events is the same.
Any change in the power-managed mode begins with loading the OSCCON register and executing a SLEEP instruction. The SCS1:SCS0 bits select one of three power-managed clock sources; the primary clock (as defined in Configuration Register 1H), the secondary clock (the Timer1 oscillator) and the internal oscillator block (used in RC modes). Modifying the SCS bits will have no effect until a SLEEP instruction is executed. Entry to the power-managed mode is triggered by the execution of a SLEEP instruction.
Figure 3-5 shows how the system is clocked while switching from the primary clock to the Timer1 oscilla­tor. When the SLEEP instruction is executed, clocks to the device are stopped at the beginning of the next instruction cycle. Eight clock cycles from the new clock source are counted to synchronize with the new clock source. After eight clock pulses from the new clock source are counted, clocks from the new clock source resume clocking the system. The actual length of the pause is between eight and nine clock periods from the new clock source. This ensures that the new clock source is stable and that its pulse width will not be less than the shortest pulse width of the two clock sources.
Three bits indicate the current clock source: OSTS and IOFS in the OSCCON register, and T1RUN in the T1CON register. Only one of these bits will be set while in a power-managed mode other than PRI_RUN. When the OSTS bit is set, the primary clock is providing the system clock. When the IOFS bit is set, the INTOSC output is providing a stable 8 MHz clock source and is providing the system clock. When the T1RUN bit is set, the Timer1 oscillator is providing the system clock. If none of these bits are set, then either the INTRC clock source is clocking the system, or the INTOSC source is not yet stable.
If the internal oscillator block is configured as the primary clock source in Configuration Register 1H, then both the OSTS and IOFS bits may be set when in PRI_RUN or PRI_IDLE modes. This indicates that the primary clock (INTOSC output) is generating a stable 8 MHz output. Entering a power-managed RC mode (same frequency) would clear the OSTS bit.
Note 1: Caution should be used when modifying
a single IRCF bit. If V is possible to select a higher clock speed than is supported by the low VDD. Improper device operation may result if the VDD/FOSC specifications are violated.
2: Executing a SLEEP instruction does not
necessarily place the device into Sleep mode. Executing a SLEEP instruction is simply a trigger to place the controller into a power-managed mode selected by the OSCCON register, one of which is Sleep mode.
DD is less than 3V, it

3.1.3 MULTIPLE SLEEP COMMANDS

The power-managed mode that is invoked with the SLEEP instruction is determined by the settings of the IDLEN and SCS bits at the time the instruction is exe­cuted. If another SLEEP instruction is executed, the device will enter the power-managed mode specified by these same bits at that time. If the bits have changed, the device will enter the new power-managed mode specified by the new bit settings.

3.1.4 COMPARISONS BETWEEN RUN AND IDLE MODES

Clock source selection for the Run modes is identical to the corresponding Idle modes. When a SLEEP instruc­tion is executed, the SCS bits in the OSCCON register are used to switch to a different clock source. As a result, if there is a change of clock source at the time a SLEEP instruction is executed, a clock switch will occur.
In Idle modes, the CPU is not clocked and is not run­ning. In Run modes, the CPU is clocked and executing code. This difference modifies the operation of the WDT when it times out. In Idle modes, a WDT time-out results in a wake from power-managed modes. In Run modes, a WDT time-out results in a WDT Reset (see Table 3-2).
During a wake-up from an Idle mode, the CPU starts executing code by entering the corresponding Run mode until the primary clock becomes ready. When the primary clock becomes ready, the clock source is auto­matically switched to the primary clock. The IDLEN and SCS bits are unchanged during and after the wake-up.
Figure 3-2 shows how the system is clocked during the clock source switch. The example assumes the device was in SEC_IDLE or SEC_RUN mode when a wake is triggered (the primary clock was configured in HSPLL mode).

3.2 Sleep Mode

The power-managed Sleep mode in the PIC18F2331/ 2431/4331/4431 devices is identical to that offered in all other PIC the IDLEN and SCS1:SCS0 bits (this is the Reset state) and executing the SLEEP instruction. This shuts down the primary oscillator and the OSTS bit is cleared (see Figure 3-1).
When a wake event occurs in Sleep mode (by interrupt, Reset, or WDT time-out), the system will not be clocked until the primary clock source becomes ready (see Figure 3-2), or it will be clocked from the internal oscillator block if either the Two-Speed Start-up or the Fail-Safe Clock Monitor are enabled (see Section 22.0 “Special Features of the CPU”). In either case, the OSTS bit is set when the primary clock provides the system clocks. The IDLEN and SCS bits are not affected by the wake-up.
®
microcontrollers. It is entered by clearing

3.3 Idle Modes

The IDLEN bit allows the controller’s CPU to be selectively shut down while the peripherals continue to operate. Clearing IDLEN allows the CPU to be clocked. Setting IDLEN disables clocks to the CPU, effectively stopping program execution (see Register 2-2). The peripherals continue to be clocked regardless of the setting of the IDLEN bit.
There is one exception to how the IDLEN bit functions. When all the low-power OSCCON bits are cleared (IDLEN:SCS1:SCS0 = 000), the device enters Sleep mode upon execution of the SLEEP instruction. This is both the Reset state of the OSCCON register and the setting that selects Sleep mode. This maintains compatibility with other PIC devices that do not offer power-managed modes.
If the Idle Enable bit, IDLEN (OSCCON<7>), is set to a ‘1’ when a SLEEP instruction is executed, the peripherals will be clocked from the clock source selected using the SCS1:SCS0 bits; however, the CPU will not be clocked. Since the CPU is not executing instructions, the only exits from any of the Idle modes are by interrupt, WDT time-out or a Reset.
When a wake event occurs, CPU execution is delayed approximately 10 μs while it becomes ready to execute code. When the CPU begins executing code, it is clocked by the same clock source as was selected in the power-managed mode (i.e., when waking from RC_IDLE mode, the internal oscillator block will clock the CPU and peripherals until the primary clock source becomes ready – this is essentially RC_RUN mode). This continues until the primary clock source becomes ready. When the primary clock becomes ready, the OSTS bit is set and the system clock source is switched to the primary clock (see Figure 3-4). The IDLEN and SCS bits are not affected by the wake-up.
While in any Idle mode or the Sleep mode, a WDT time-out will result in a WDT wake-up to full power operation.

3.3.1 PRI_IDLE MODE

This mode is unique among the three low-power Idle modes, in that it does not disable the primary system clock. For timing sensitive applications, this allows for the fastest resumption of device operation with its more accurate primary clock source, since the clock source does not have to “warm up” or transition from another
When a wake event occurs, the CPU is clocked from the primary clock source. A delay of approximately 10 μs is required between the wake event and when code execution starts. This is required to allow the CPU to become ready to execute instructions. After the wake­up, the OSTS bit remains set. The IDLEN and SCS bits are not affected by the wake-up (see Figure 3-4).

PRI_IDLE mode is entered by setting the IDLEN bit, clearing the SCS bits and executing a SLEEP instruc­tion. Although the CPU is disabled, the peripherals continue to be clocked from the primary clock source specified in Configuration Register 1H. The OSTS bit remains set in PRI_IDLE mode (see Figure 3-3).

3.3.2 SEC_IDLE MODE

In SEC_IDLE mode, the CPU is disabled, but the peripherals continue to be clocked from the Timer1 oscillator. This mode is entered by setting the Idle bit, modifying SCS1:SCS0 = 01 and executing a SLEEP instruction. When the clock source is switched (see Figure 3-5) to the Timer1 oscillator, the primary oscillator is shut down, the OSTS bit is cleared and the T1RUN bit is set.
Note: The Timer1 oscillator should already be
running prior to entering SEC_IDLE mode.
When a wake event occurs, the peripherals continue to be clocked from the Timer1 oscillator. After a 10 μs delay following the wake event, the CPU begins execut­ing code, being clocked by the Timer1 oscillator. The microcontroller operates in SEC_RUN mode until the primary clock becomes ready. When the primary clock becomes ready, a clock switch back to the primary clock occurs (see Figure 3-6). When the clock switch is com­plete, the T1RUN bit is cleared, the OSTS bit is set and the primary clock is providing the system clock. The IDLEN and SCS bits are not affected by the wake-up; the Timer1 oscillator continues to run.
If the T1OSCEN bit is not set when the
SLEEP instruction is executed, a forced NOP will be executed instead and entry to
SEC_IDLE mode will not occur. If the Timer1 oscillator is enabled, but not yet running, peripheral clocks will be delayed until the oscillator has started; in such sit­uations, initial oscillator operation is far from stable and unpredictable operation may result.

3.3.3 RC_IDLE MODE

In RC_IDLE mode, the CPU is disabled, but the periph­erals continue to be clocked from the internal oscillator block using the INTOSC multiplexer. This mode allows for controllable power conservation during Idle periods.
This mode is entered by setting the IDLEN bit, setting SCS1 (SCS0 is ignored) and executing a SLEEP instruction. The INTOSC multiplexer may be used to select a higher clock frequency by modifying the IRCF bits before executing the SLEEP instruction. When the clock source is switched to the INTOSC multiplexer (see Figure 3-7), the primary oscillator is shut down and the OSTS bit is cleared.
If the IRCF bits are set to a non-zero value (thus enabling the INTOSC output), the IOFS bit becomes set after the INTOSC output becomes stable, in about 1 ms. Clocks to the peripherals continue while the INTOSC source stabilizes. If the IRCF bits were

When a wake event occurs, the peripherals continue to be clocked from the INTOSC multiplexer. After a 10 μs delay following the wake event, the CPU begins exe­cuting code, being clocked by the INTOSC multiplexer. The microcontroller operates in RC_RUN mode until the primary clock becomes ready. When the primary clock becomes ready, a clock switch back to the pri­mary clock occurs (see Figure 3-8). When the clock switch is complete, the IOFS bit is cleared, the OSTS bit is set and the primary clock is providing the system clock. The IDLEN and SCS bits are not affected by the wake-up. The INTRC source will continue to run if either the WDT or the Fail-Safe Clock Monitor is enabled.

3.4 Run Modes

If the IDLEN bit is clear when a SLEEP instruction is executed, the CPU and peripherals are both clocked from the source selected using the SCS1:SCS0 bits. While these operating modes may not afford the power conservation of Idle or Sleep modes, they do allow the device to continue executing instructions by using a lower frequency clock source. RC_RUN mode also offers the possibility of executing code at a frequency greater than the primary clock.
Wake-up from a power-managed Run mode can be triggered by an interrupt, or any Reset, to return to full power operation. As the CPU is executing code in Run modes, several additional exits from Run modes are possible. They include exit to Sleep mode, exit to a corresponding Idle mode and exit by executing a RESET instruction. While the device is in any of the power-managed Run modes, a WDT time-out will result in a WDT Reset.

3.4.1 PRI_RUN MODE

The PRI_RUN mode is the normal full power execution mode. If the SLEEP instruction is never executed, the microcontroller operates in this mode (a SLEEP instruc­tion is executed to enter all other power-managed modes). All other power-managed modes exit to PRI_RUN mode when an interrupt or WDT time-out occur.
There is no entry to PRI_RUN mode. The OSTS bit is set. The IOFS bit may be set if the internal oscillator block is the primary clock source (see Section 2.7.1 “Oscillator Control Register”).

3.4.2 SEC_RUN MODE

The SEC_RUN mode is the compatible mode to the “clock switching” feature offered in other PIC18 devices. In this mode, the CPU and peripherals are clocked from the Timer1 oscillator. This gives users the option of lower power consumption while still using a high accuracy clock source.
SEC_RUN mode is entered by clearing the IDLEN bit, setting SCS1:SCS0 = 01 and executing a SLEEP instruction. The system clock source is switched to the Timer1 oscillator (see Figure 3-9), the primary oscilla­tor is shut down, the T1RUN bit (T1CON<6>) is set and the OSTS bit is cleared.
Note: The Timer1 oscillator should already be
running prior to entering SEC_RUN mode. If the T1OSCEN bit is not set when the
SLEEP instruction is executed, a forced NOP will be executed instead and entry to
SEC_IDLE mode will not occur. If the Timer1 oscillator is enabled, but not yet running, system clocks will be delayed until the oscillator has started. In such situations, initial oscillator operation is far from stable and unpredictable operation may result.
When a wake event occurs, the peripherals and CPU continue to be clocked from the Timer1 oscillator while the primary clock is started. When the primary clock becomes ready, a clock switch back to the primary clock occurs (see Figure 3-6). When the clock switch is com­plete, the T1RUN bit is cleared, the OSTS bit is set and the primary clock is providing the system clock. The IDLEN and SCS bits are not affected by the wake-up; the Timer1 oscillator continues to run.
Firmware can force an exit from SEC_RUN mode. By clearing the T1OSCEN bit (T1CON<3>), an exit from SEC_RUN back to normal full power operation is trig­gered. The Timer1 oscillator will continue to run and provide the system clock even though the T1OSCEN bit is cleared. The primary clock is started. When the pri­mary clock becomes ready, a clock switch back to the primary clock occurs (see Figure 3-6). When the clock switch is complete, the Timer1 oscillator is disabled, the T1RUN bit is cleared, the OSTS bit is set and the primary clock provides the system clock. The IDLEN and SCS bits are not affected by the wake-up.

3.4.3 RC_RUN MODE

In RC_RUN mode, the CPU and peripherals are clocked from the internal oscillator block using the INTOSC multiplexer and the primary clock is shut down. When using the INTRC source, this mode provides the best power conservation of all the Run modes, while still executing code. This mode works well for user applications that are not highly timing sensitive, or do not require high-speed clocks at all times.
If the primary clock source is the internal oscillator block (either of the INTIO1 or INTIO2 oscillators), there are no distinguishable differences between PRI_RUN and RC_RUN modes during execution. However, a clock switch delay will occur during entry to, and exit from, RC_RUN mode. Therefore, if the primary clock source is the internal oscillator block, the use of RC_RUN mode is not recommended.
This mode is entered by clearing the IDLEN bit, setting SCS1 (SCS0 is ignored) and executing a SLEEP instruction. The IRCF bits may select the clock frequency before the SLEEP instruction is executed. When the clock source is switched to the INTOSC multiplexer (see Figure 3-10), the primary oscillator is shut down and the OSTS bit is cleared.
The IRCF bits may be modified at any time to immedi­ately change the system clock speed. Executing a SLEEP instruction is not required to select a new clock frequency from the INTOSC multiplexer.
Note: Caution should be used when modifying a
single IRCF bit. If V
DD is less than 3V, it is
possible to select a higher clock speed than is supported by the low VDD. Improper device operation may result if the VDD/FOSC specifications are violated.
If the IRCF bits are all clear, the INTOSC output is not enabled and the IOFS bit will remain clear; there will be no indication of the current clock source. The INTRC source is providing the system clocks.
If the IRCF bits are changed from all clear (thus enabling the INTOSC output), the IOFS bit becomes set after the INTOSC output becomes stable. Clocks to the system continue while the INTOSC source stabilizes in approximately 1 ms.
If the IRCF bits were previously at a non-zero value before the SLEEP instruction was executed, and the INTOSC source was already stable, the IOFS bit will remain set.
When a wake event occurs, the system continues to be clocked from the INTOSC multiplexer while the primary clock is started. When the primary clock becomes ready, a clock switch to the primary clock occurs (see Figure 3-8). When the clock switch is complete, the IOFS bit is cleared, the OSTS bit is set and the primary clock provides the system clock. The IDLEN and SCS bits are not affected by the wake-up. The INTRC source will continue to run if either the WDT or the Fail-Safe Clock Monitor is enabled.

3.4.4 EXIT TO IDLE MODE

An exit from a power-managed Run mode to its corre­sponding Idle mode is executed by setting the IDLEN bit and executing a SLEEP instruction. The CPU is halted at the beginning of the instruction following the SLEEP instruction. There are no changes to any of the clock source status bits (OSTS, IOFS or T1RUN). While the CPU is halted, the peripherals continue to be clocked from the previously selected clock source.

3.4.5 EXIT TO SLEEP MODE

An exit from a power-managed Run mode to Sleep mode is executed by clearing the IDLEN and SCS1:SCS0 bits and executing a SLEEP instruction. The code is no different than the method used to invoke Sleep mode from the normal operating (full power) mode.
The primary clock and internal oscillator block are dis­abled. The INTRC will continue to operate if the WDT is enabled. The Timer1 oscillator will continue to run, if enabled, in the T1CON register. All clock source status bits are cleared (OSTS, IOFS and T1RUN).
3.5 Wake From Power-Managed
Modes
An exit from any of the power-managed modes is trig­gered by an interrupt, a Reset or a WDT time-out. This section discusses the triggers that cause exits from power-managed modes. The clocking subsystem actions are discussed in each of the power-managed modes (see Sections 3.2 through 3.4).
Note: If application code is timing sensitive, it
should wait for the OSTS bit to become set before continuing. Use the interval during the Low-Power mode exit sequence (before OSTS is set) to perform timing insensitive “housekeeping” tasks.
Device behavior during Low-Power mode exits is summarized in Table 3-3.

3.5.1 EXIT BY INTERRUPT

Any of the available interrupt sources can cause the device to exit a power-managed mode and resume full power operation. To enable this functionality, an inter­rupt source must be enabled by setting its enable bit in one of the INTCON or PIE registers. The exit sequence is initiated when the corresponding interrupt flag bit is set. On all exits from Low-Power mode by interrupt, code execution branches to the interrupt vector if the GIE/GIEH bit (INTCON<7>) is set. Otherwise, code execution continues or resumes without branching (see Section 9.0 “Interrupts”).

3.5.2 EXIT BY RESET

Normally, the device is held in Reset by the Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) until the primary clock (defined in Configuration Register 1H) becomes ready. At that time, the OSTS bit is set and the device begins executing code.
Code execution can begin before the primary clock becomes ready. If either the Two-Speed Start-up (see Section 22.3 “Two-Speed Start-up”) or Fail-Safe Clock Monitor (see Section 22.4 “Fail-Safe Clock Monitor”) are enabled in Configuration Register 1H, the device may begin execution as soon as the Reset source has cleared. Execution is clocked by the INTOSC multiplexer driven by the internal oscillator block. Since the OSCCON register is cleared following all Resets, the INTRC clock source is selected. A higher speed clock may be selected by modifying the IRCF bits in the OSCCON register. Execution is clocked by the internal oscillator block until either the primary clock becomes ready, or a power-managed mode is entered before the primary clock becomes ready; the primary clock is then shut down.

3.5.3 EXIT BY WDT TIME-OUT

A WDT time-out will cause different actions depending on which power-managed mode the device is in when the time-out occurs.
If the device is not executing code (all Idle modes and Sleep mode), the time-out will result in a wake from the power-managed mode (see Section 3.2 “Sleep Mode” through Section 3.4 “Run Modes”).
If the device is executing code (all Run modes), the time-out will result in a WDT Reset (see Section 22.2 “Watchdog Timer (WDT)”).
The WDT timer and postscaler are cleared by execut­ing a SLEEP or CLRWDT instruction, the loss of a currently selected clock source (if the Fail-Safe Clock Monitor is enabled) and modifying the IRCF bits in the OSCCON register if the internal oscillator block is the system clock source.

3.5.4 EXIT WITHOUT AN OSCILLATOR START-UP DE LAY

Certain exits from power-managed modes do not invoke the OST at all. These are:
• PRI_IDLE mode where the primary clock source
is not stopped; and
• the primary clock source is not any of the LP, XT,
HS or HSPLL modes.
In these cases, the primary clock source either does not require an oscillator start-up delay, since it is already running (PRI_IDLE), or normally does not require an oscillator start-up delay (RC, EC and INTIO Oscillator modes).
However, a fixed delay (approximately 10 μs) following the wake event is required when leaving Sleep and Idle modes. This delay is required for the CPU to prepare for execution. Instruction execution resumes on the first clock cycle following this delay.

3.6 INTOSC Frequency Drift

The factory calibrates the internal oscillator block out­put (INTOSC) for 8 MHz. However, this frequency may drift as VDD or temperature changes, which can affect the controller operation in a variety of ways.
It is possible to adjust the INTOSC frequency by modi­fying the value in the OSCTUNE register. This has the side effect that the INTRC clock source frequency is also affected. However, the features that use the INTRC source often do not require an exact frequency. These features include the Fail-Safe Clock Monitor, the Watchdog Timer and the RC_RUN/RC_IDLE modes when the INTRC clock source is selected.
Being able to adjust the INTOSC requires knowing when an adjustment is required, in which direction it should be made, and in some cases, how large a change is needed. Three examples follow, but other techniques may be used.
DS39616C-page 44 Preliminary © 2007 Microchip Technology Inc.
PIC18F2331/2431/4331/4431
3.6.1 EXAMPLE EUSART
An adjustment may be indicated when the EUSART begins to generate framing errors, or receives data with errors while in Asynchronous mode. Framing errors indicate that the system clock frequency is too high – try decrementing the value in the OSCTUNE register to reduce the system clock frequency. Errors in data may suggest that the system clock speed is too low – increment OSCTUNE.
3.6.2 EXAMPLE TIMERS
This technique compares system clock speed to some reference clock. Two timers may be used; one timer is clocked by the peripheral clock, while the other is clocked by a fixed reference source, such as the Timer1 oscillator.
Both timers are cleared, but the timer clocked by the reference generates interrupts. When an interrupt occurs, the internally clocked timer is read and both timers are cleared. If the internally clocked timer value is greater than expected, then the internal oscillator block is running too fast – decrement OSCTUNE.
3.6.3 EXAMPLE CCP IN CAPTURE MODE
A CCP module can use free-running Timer1, clocked by the internal oscillator block and an external event with a known period (i.e., AC power frequency). The time of the first event is captured in the CCPRxH:CCPRxL registers and is recorded for use later. When the second event causes a capture, the time of the first event is subtracted from the time of the second event. Since the period of the external event is known, the time difference between events can be calculated.
If the measured time is much greater than the calculated time, the internal oscillator block is running too fast – decrement OSCTUNE. If the measured time is much less than the calculated time, the internal oscillator block is running too slow – increment OSCTUNE.

4.0 RESET

Most registers are not affected by a WDT wake-up, since this is viewed as the resumption of normal
The PIC18F2331/2431/4331/4431 devices differentiate between various kinds of Reset:
a) Power-on Reset (POR) b) MCLR
Reset during normal operation c) MCLR Reset during Sleep d) Watchdog Timer (WDT) Reset (during
execution) e) Programmable Brown-out Reset (BOR) f) RESET Instruction g) Stack Full Reset h) Stack Underflow Reset
Most registers are unaffected by a Reset. Their status is unknown on POR and unchanged by all other Resets. The other registers are forced to a “Reset state” depending on the type of Reset that occurred.
operation. Status bits from the RCON register, RI
, POR and BOR, are set or cleared differently in
PD different Reset situations, as indicated in Table 4-2. These bits are used in software to determine the nature of the Reset. See Table 4-3 for a full description of the Reset states of all registers.
A simplified block diagram of the on-chip Reset circuit is shown in Figure 4-1.
The enhanced MCU devices have a MCLR in the MCLR
Reset path. The filter will detect and
ignore small pulses.
The MCLR
pin is not driven low by any internal Resets,
including the WDT.
The MCLR
input provided by the MCLR pin can be dis­abled with the MCLRE bit in Configuration Register 3H (CONFIG3H<7>). See Section 22.1 “Configuration
Bits” for more information.

nents usually needed to create a Power-on Reset delay. A minimum rise rate for V (parameter D004). For a slow rise time, see Figure 4-2.
When the device starts normal operation (i.e., exits the Reset condition), device operating parameters (volt­age, frequency, temperature, etc.) must be met to ensure operation. If these conditions are not met, the device must be held in Reset until the operating conditions are met.
Note: The following decoupling method is
recommended:
1. A 1 μF capacitor should be connected
across AV
2. A similar capacitor should be connected across V

4.2 Power-up Timer (PWRT)

The Power-up Timer (PWRT) of the PIC18F2331/2431/ 4331/4431 devices is an 11-bit counter, which uses the INTRC source as the clock input. This yields a count of 2048 x 32 μs = 65.6 ms. While the PWRT is counting, the device is held in Reset.
The power-up time delay depends on the INTRC clock and will vary from chip-to-chip due to temperature and process variation. See DC parameter 33 for details.
The PWRT is enabled by clearing Configuration bit PWRTEN
.

4.3 Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST)

The Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) provides a 1024 oscillator cycle (from OSC1 input) delay after the PWRT delay is over (parameter 33). This ensures that the crystal oscillator or resonator has started and stabilized.
The OST time-out is invoked only for XT, LP, HS and HSPLL modes, and only on Power-on Reset or on exit from most power-managed modes.

4.4 PLL Lock Time-out

With the PLL enabled in its PLL mode, the time-out sequence following a Power-on Reset is slightly different from other oscillator modes. A portion of the Power-up Timer is used to provide a fixed time-out that is sufficient for the PLL to lock to the main oscillator frequency. This PLL lock time-out (T 2 ms and follows the oscillator start-up time-out.
PLL) is typically

4.5 Brown-out Reset (BOR)

A Configuration bit, BOREN, can disable (if clear/ programmed) or enable (if set) the Brown-out Reset circuitry. If VDD falls below VBOR (parameter D005A through D005K) for greater than T the brown-out situation will reset the chip. A Reset may not occur if VDD falls below VBOR for less than TBOR. The chip will remain in Brown-out Reset until V above V invoked after V
BOR. If the Power-up Timer is enabled, it will be
DD rises above VBOR; it then will keep
the chip in Reset for an additional time delay T (parameter 33). If VDD drops below VBOR while the Power-up Timer is running, the chip will go back into a Brown-out Reset and the Power-up Timer will be initialized. Once V
DD rises above VBOR, the Power-up
Timer will execute the additional time delay. Enabling the Brown-out Reset does not automatically enable the PWRT.

4.6 Time-out Sequence

Since the time-outs occur from the POR pulse, if MCLR is kept low long enough, all time-outs will expire. Bring-
On power-up, the time-out sequence is as follows: First, after the POR pulse has cleared, PWRT time-out is invoked (if enabled). Then, the OST is activated. The total time-out will vary based on oscillator configuration and the status of the PWRT. For example, in RC mode with the PWRT disabled, there will be no time-out at all. Figures 4-3 through 4-7 depict time-out sequences on power-up.

5.0 MEMORY ORGANIZATION

There are three memory types in enhanced MCU devices. These memory types are:
• Program Memory
• Data RAM
• Data EEPROM
Data and program memory use separate busses, which allows for concurrent access of these types.
Additional detailed information for Flash program mem­ory and data EEPROM is provided in Section 6.0
“Flash Program Memory” and Section 7.0 “Data EEPROM Memory”, respectively.

5.1 Program Memory Organization

A 21-bit program counter is capable of addressing the 2-Mbyte program memory space. Accessing a location between the physically implemented memory and the 2-Mbyte address will cause a read of all ‘0’s (a NOP instruction).
The PIC18F2331/4331 devices each have 8 Kbytes of Flash memory and can store up to 4,096 single-word instructions.
The PIC18F2431/4431 devices each have 16 Kbytes of Flash memory and can store up to 8,192 single-word instructions.
The Reset vector address is at 000000h and the interrupt vector addresses are at 000008h and 000018h.
The program memory maps for PIC18F2331/4331 and PIC18F2431/4431 devices are shown in Figure 5-1 and Figure 5-2, respectively.

5.2 Return Address Stack

The return address stack allows any combination of up to 31 program calls and interrupts to occur. The PC (Program Counter) is pushed onto the stack when a CALL or RCALL instruction is executed, or an interrupt is Acknowledged. The PC value is pulled off the stack on a RETURN, RETLW or a RETFIE instruction. PCLATU and PCLATH are not affected by any of the RETURN or CALL instructions.
The stack operates as a 31-word by 21-bit RAM and a 5-bit Stack Pointer, with the Stack Pointer initialized to 00000b after all Resets. There is no RAM associated with Stack Pointer 00000b. This is only a Reset value. During a CALL type instruction, causing a push onto the stack, the Stack Pointer is first incremented and the RAM location pointed to by the Stack Pointer is written with the contents of the PC (already pointing to the instruction following the CALL). During a RETURN type instruction, causing a pop from the stack, the contents of the RAM location pointed to by the STKPTR are transferred to the PC and then the Stack Pointer is decremented.
The stack space is not part of either program or data space. The Stack Pointer is readable and writable, and the address on the top of the stack is readable and writable through the Top-of-Stack (TOS) Special Function Registers. Data can also be pushed to, or popped from, the stack using the Top-of-Stack SFRs. Status bits indicate if the stack is full, has overflowed or underflowed.

5.2.1 TOP-OF-STACK ACCESS

The top of the stack is readable and writable. Three register locations, TOSU, TOSH and TOSL, hold the contents of the stack location pointed to by the STKPTR register (Figure 5-3). 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 and TOSL registers. These values can be placed on a user-defined software stack. At return time, the software can replace the TOSU, TOSH and TOSL and do a return.
The user must disable the global interrupt enable bits while accessing the stack to prevent inadvertent stack corruption.

5.2.2 RETURN STACK POINTER (STKPTR)

The STKPTR register (Register 5-1) contains the Stack Pointer value, the STKFUL (Stack Full) status bit and the STKUNF (Stack Underflow) status bits. The value of the Stack Pointer can be 0 through 31. The Stack Pointer increments before values are pushed onto the stack and decrements after values are popped off the stack. At Reset, the Stack Pointer value will be zero. The user may read and write the Stack Pointer value. This feature can be used by a Real-Time Operating System (RTOS) for return stack maintenance.
After the PC is pushed onto the stack 31 times (without popping any values off the stack), the STKFUL bit is set. The STKFUL bit is cleared by software or by a POR.
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 22.1 “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 bit will be set on the 31st push and the Stack Pointer will increment to 31. Any additional pushes will not overwrite the 31st push and STKPTR will remain at 31.
When the stack has been popped enough times to unload the stack, the next pop will return a value of zero to the PC and set the STKUNF bit, while the Stack Pointer remains at zero. The STKUNF bit will remain set until cleared by software or a POR occurs.
Note: Returning a value of zero to the PC on an
underflow has the effect of vectoring the program to the Reset vector, where the stack conditions can be verified and appropriate actions can be taken. This is not the same as a Reset as the contents of the SFRs are not affected.

5.2.3 PUSH AND POP INSTRUCTIONS

Since the Top-of-Stack (TOS) is readable and writable, the ability to push values onto the stack and pull values off the stack without disturbing normal program execu­tion is a desirable option. To push the current PC value onto the stack, a PUSH instruction can be executed. This will increment the Stack Pointer and load the current PC value onto the stack. TOSU, TOSH and TOSL can then be modified to place data or a return address on the stack.
The ability to pull the TOS value off of the stack and replace it with the value that was previously pushed onto the stack, without disturbing normal execution, is achieved by using the POP instruction. The POP instruc­tion discards the current TOS by decrementing the Stack Pointer. The previous value pushed onto the stack then becomes the TOS value.

5.2.4 STACK FULL/UNDERFLOW RESETS

These Resets are enabled by programming the STVREN bit in Configuration Register 4L. When the STVREN bit is cleared, a full or underflow condition will set the appropriate STKFUL or STKUNF bit, but not cause a device Reset. When the STVREN bit is set, a full or underflow condition will set the appropriate STKFUL or STKUNF bit and then cause a device Reset. The STKFUL or STKUNF bits are cleared by the user software or a Power-on Reset.

5.3 Fast Register Stack

A “fast return” option is available for interrupts. A Fast Register Stack is provided for the STATUS, WREG and BSR registers and are only one in depth. The stack is not readable or writable and is loaded with the current value of the corresponding register when the processor vectors for an interrupt. The values in the registers are then loaded back into the working registers if the RETFIE, FAST instruction is used to return from the interrupt.
All interrupt sources will push values into the Stack registers. If both low and high-priority interrupts are enabled, the Stack registers cannot be used reliably to return from low-priority interrupts. If a high-priority inter­rupt occurs while servicing a low-priority interrupt, the Stack register values stored by the low-priority interrupt will be overwritten. Users must save the key registers in software during a low-priority interrupt.
If interrupt priority is not used, all interrupts may use the Fast Register Stack for returns from interrupt.
If no interrupts are used, the Fast Register Stack can be used to restore the STATUS, WREG and BSR registers at the end of a subroutine call. To use the Fast Register Stack for a subroutine call, a CALL label, FAST instruction must be executed to save the STATUS, WREG and BSR registers to the Fast Register Stack. A RETURN, FAST instruction is then executed to restore these registers from the Fast Register Stack.
Example 5-1 shows a source code example that uses the Fast Register Stack during a subroutine call and return.

5.4 PCL, PCLATH and PCLATU

The Program Counter (PC) specifies the address of the instruction to fetch for execution. The PC is 21 bits wide. The low byte, known as the PCL register, is both readable and writable. The high byte, or PCH register, contains the PC<15:8> bits and is not directly readable or writable. Updates to the PCH register may be per­formed through the PCLATH register. The upper byte is called PCU. This register contains the PC<20:16> bits and is not directly readable or writable. Updates to the PCU register may be performed through the PCLATU register.
The contents of PCLATH and PCLATU will be transferred to the program counter by any operation that writes PCL. Similarly, the upper two bytes of the program counter will be transferred to PCLATH and PCLATU by an operation that reads PCL. This is useful for computed offsets to the PC (see Section 5.8.1 “Computed GOTO”).
The PC addresses bytes in the program memory. To prevent the PC from becoming misaligned with word instructions, the 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.

5.5 Clocking Scheme/Instruction Cycle

The clock input (from OSC1) is internally divided by four to generate four non-overlapping quadrature clocks, namely Q1, Q2, Q3 and Q4. Internally, the Program Counter (PC) is incremented every Q1, the instruction is fetched from the program memory and latched into the Instruction Register (IR) in Q4. The instruction is decoded and executed during the following Q1 through Q4. The clocks and instruction execution flow are shown in Figure 5-4.

5.6 Instruction Flow/Pipelining

An “Instruction Cycle” consists of four Q cycles (Q1, Q2, Q3 and Q4). The instruction fetch and execute are pipelined such that fetch takes one instruction cycle, while decode and execute takes another instruction cycle. However, due to the pipelining, each instruction effectively executes in one cycle. If an instruction causes the program counter to change (e.g., GOTO), then two cycles are required to complete the instruction (Example 5-2).
A fetch cycle begins with the program counter (PC) incrementing in Q1.
In the execution cycle, the fetched instruction is latched into the “Instruction Register” (IR) in cycle Q1. This instruction is then decoded and executed during the Q2, Q3 and Q4 cycles. Data memory is read during Q2 (operand read) and written during Q4 (destination write).

5.7 Instructions in Program Memory

The program memory is addressed in bytes. Instructions are stored as two bytes or four bytes in program memory. The Least Significant Byte of an instruction word is always stored in a program memory location with an even address (LSB = 0). Figure 5-5 shows an example of how instruction words are stored in the program memory. To maintain alignment with instruction boundaries, the PC increments in steps of 2 and the LSB will always read ‘0’ (see Section 5.4 “PCL, PCLATH and PCLATU”).
The CALL and GOTO instructions have the absolute program memory address embedded into the instruction. Since instructions are always stored on word boundaries, the data contained in the instruction is a word address. The word address is written to PC<20:1>, which accesses the desired byte address in program memory.

5.7.1 TWO-WORD INSTRUCTIONS

PIC18F2331/2431/4331/4431 devices have four two­word instructions: MOVFF, CALL, GOTO and LFSR. The second word of these instructions has the 4 MSBs set to ‘1’s and is decoded as a NOP instruction. The lower 12 bits of the second word contain data to be used by the instruction. If the first word of the instruction is executed, the data in the second word is accessed. If the second word of the instruction is executed by itself (first word was skipped), it will execute as a NOP. This action is necessary when the two-word instruction is preceded by a conditional instruction that results in a skip operation. A program example that demonstrates this concept is shown in Example 5-3. Refer to Section 23.0 “Instruction Set Summary” for further details of the instruction set.
Instruction 2 in Figure 5-5 shows how the instruction ‘GOTO 000006h’ is encoded in the program memory. Program branch instructions, which encode a relative address offset, operate in the same manner. The offset value stored in a branch instruction represents the num­ber of single-word instructions that the PC will be offset by. Section 23.0 “Instruction Set Summary” provides further details of the instruction set.

5.8 Look-up Tables

Look-up tables are implemented two ways:
• Computed GOTO
• Table Reads

5.8.1 COMPUTED GOTO

A computed GOTO is accomplished by adding an offset to the program counter. An example is shown in Example 5-4.
A look-up table can be formed with an ADDWF PCL instruction and a group of RETLW 0xnn instructions. WREG is loaded with an offset into the table before executing a call to that table. The first instruction of the called routine is the ADDWF PCL instruction. The next instruction executed will be one of the RETLW 0xnn instructions, which returns the value 0xnn 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 5-4: COMPUTED GOTO USING
AN OFFSET VALUE
MOVFW OFFSET
CALL TABLE ORG 0xnn00 TABLE ADDWF PCL
RETLW 0xnn
RETLW 0xnn
RETLW 0xnn
. . .

5.8.2 TABLE READS/TABLE WRITES

A better method of storing data in program memory allows two bytes of data to be stored in each instruction location.
Look-up table data may be stored two bytes per pro­gram word by using table reads and writes. The Table Pointer (TBLPTR) specifies the byte address and the Table Latch (TABLAT) contains the data that is read from, or written to, program memory. Data is transferred to/from program memory, one byte at a time.
The table read/table write operation is discussed further in Section 6.1 “Table Reads and Table
Writes”.

5.9 Data Memory Organization

The data memory is implemented as static RAM. Each register in the data memory has a 12-bit address, allowing up to 4096 bytes of data memory. Figure 5-6 shows the data memory organization for the PIC18F2331/2431/4331/4431 devices.
The data memory map is divided into as many as 16 banks that contain 256 bytes each. The lower 4 bits of the Bank Select Register (BSR<3:0>) select which bank will be accessed. The upper 4 bits for the BSR are not implemented.
The data memory contains Special Function Registers (SFR) and General Purpose Registers (GPR). The SFRs are used for control and status of the controller and peripheral functions, while GPRs are used for data storage and scratchpad operations in the user’s application. The SFRs start at the last location of Bank 15 (FFFh) and extend to F60h. Any remaining space beyond the SFRs in the bank may be implemented as GPRs. GPRs start at the first location of Bank 0 and grow upwards. Any read of an unimplemented location will read as ‘0’s.
The entire data memory may be accessed directly or indirectly. Direct Addressing mode may require the use of the BSR register. Indirect Addressing mode requires the use of a File Select Register (FSRn) and a corresponding Indirect File Operand (INDFn). Each FSR holds a 12-bit address value that can be used to access any location in the data memory map without banking. See Section 5.12 “Indirect Addressing, INDF and FSR Registers” for Indirect Addressing details.
The instruction set and architecture allow operations across all banks. This may be accomplished by Indirect Addressing or by the use of the MOVFF instruction. The MOVFF instruction is a two-word/two-cycle instruction that moves a value from one register to another.
To ensure that commonly used registers (SFRs and select GPRs) can be accessed in a single cycle, regardless of the current BSR values, an Access Bank is implemented. A segment of Bank 0 and a segment of Bank 15 comprise the Access RAM. Section 5.10 “Access Bank” provides a detailed description of the Access RAM.

5.9.1 GENERAL PURPOSE REGISTER FILE

Enhanced MCU devices may have banked memory in the GPR area. GPRs are not initialized by a Power-on Reset and are unchanged on all other Resets.
Data RAM is available for use as GPR registers by all instructions. The second half of Bank 15 (F60h to FFFh) contains SFRs. All other banks of data memory contain GPRs, starting with Bank 0.

5.9.2 SPECIAL FUNCTION REGISTERS

The Special Function Registers (SFRs) are registers used by the CPU and peripheral modules for controlling the desired operation of the device. These registers are implemented as static RAM. A list of these registers is given in Table 5-1 and Table 5-2.
The SFRs can be classified into two sets; those asso-
“core” are described in this section, while those related to the operation of the peripheral features are described in the section of that peripheral feature.
The SFRs are typically distributed among the peripherals whose functions they control.
The unused SFR locations will be unimplemented and read as ‘0’s.

5.10 Access Bank

The Access Bank is an architectural enhancement which is very useful for C compiler code optimization. The techniques used by the C compiler may also be useful for programs written in assembly.
This data memory region can be used for:
• Intermediate computational values
• Local variables of subroutines
• Faster context saving/switching of variables
• Common variables
• Faster evaluation/control of SFRs (no banking)
The Access Bank is comprised of the last 128 bytes in Bank 15 (SFRs) and the first 128 bytes in Bank 0. These two sections will be referred to as Access RAM High and Access RAM Low, respectively. Figure 5-6 indicates the Access RAM areas.
A bit in the instruction word specifies if the operation is to occur in the bank specified by the BSR register or in the Access Bank. This bit is denoted as the ‘a’ bit (for access bit).
When forced in the Access Bank (a = 0), the last address in Access RAM Low is followed by the first address in Access RAM High. Access RAM High maps the Special Function Registers, so these registers can be accessed without any software overhead. This is useful for testing status flags and modifying control bits.

5.11 Bank Select Register (BSR)

The need for a large general purpose memory space dictates a RAM banking scheme. The data memory is partitioned into as many as sixteen banks. When using Direct Addressing, the BSR should be configured for the desired bank.
BSR<3:0> holds the upper 4 bits of the 12-bit RAM address. The BSR<7:4> bits will always read ‘0’s and writes will have no effect (see Figure 5-7).
A MOVLB instruction has been provided in the instruction set to assist in selecting banks.
If the currently selected bank is not implemented, any read will return all ‘0’s and all writes are ignored. The STATUS register bits will be set/cleared as appropriate for the instruction performed.
Each Bank extends up to FFh (256 bytes). All data memory is implemented as static RAM.
A MOVFF instruction ignores the BSR, since the 12-bit addresses are embedded into the instruction word.
Section 5.12 “Indirect Addressing, INDF and FSR Registers” provides a description of Indirect Address-
ing, which allows linear addressing of the entire RAM space.

5.12 Indirect Addressing, INDF and FSR Registers

Indirect Addressing is a mode of addressing data mem­ory, where the data memory address in the instruction is not fixed. An FSR register is used as a pointer to the data memory location that is to be read or written. Since this pointer is in RAM, the contents can be modified by the program. This can be useful for data tables in the data memory and for software stacks. Figure 5-8 shows how the fetched instruction is modified prior to being executed.
Indirect Addressing is possible by using one of the INDFn registers. Any instruction using the INDFn reg­ister actually accesses the register pointed to by the File Select Register, FSRn. Reading the INDFn register itself, indirectly (FSRn = 0), will read 00h. Writing to the INDFn register, indirectly, results in a no operation. The FSRn register contains a 12-bit address, which is shown in Figure 5-9.
The INDFn register is not a physical register. Address­ing INDFn actually addresses the register whose address is contained in the FSRn register (FSRn is a pointer). This is Indirect Addressing.
Example 5-5 shows a simple use of Indirect Address­ing to clear the RAM in Bank 1 (locations 100h-1FFh) in a minimum number of instructions.
EXAMPLE 5-5: HOW TO CLEAR RAM
(BANK 1) USING INDIRECT ADDRESSING
LFSR FSR0, 0x100 ;
NEXT CLRF POSTINC0 ; Clear INDF
; register then ; inc pointer
BTFSS FSR0H, 1 ; All done with
; Bank1?
GOTO NEXT ; NO, clear next
CONTINUE ; YES, continue
There are three Indirect Addressing registers. To address the entire data memory space (4096 bytes), these registers are 12 bits wide. To store the 12 bits of addressing information, two 8-bit registers are required:
1. FSR0: composed of FSR0H:FSR0L.
2. FSR1: composed of FSR1H:FSR1L.
3. FSR2: composed of FSR2H:FSR2L.
In addition, there are registers, INDF0, INDF1 and INDF2, which are not physically implemented. Reading or writing to these registers activates Indirect Address­ing, with the value in the corresponding FSR register being the address of the data. If an instruction writes a value to INDF0, the value will be written to the address pointed to by FSR0H:FSR0L. A read from INDF1 reads the data from the address pointed to by FSR1H:FSR1L. INDFn can be used in code anywhere an operand can be used.
If INDF0, INDF1 or INDF2 are read indirectly via a FSRn, all ‘0’s are read (Zero bit is set). Similarly, if INDF0, INDF1 or INDF2 are written to indirectly, the operation will be equivalent to a NOP instruction and the Status bits are not affected.

5.12.1 INDIRECT ADDRESSING OPERATION

Each FSRn register has an INDFn register associated with it, plus four additional register addresses. Perform­ing an operation using one of these five registers determines how the FSRn will be modified during Indirect Addressing.
When data access is performed using one of the five INDFn locations, the address selected will configure the FSRn register to:
• Do nothing to FSRn after an indirect access (no
change) – INDFn
• Auto-decrement FSRn after an indirect access
(post-decrement) – POSTDECn
• Auto-increment FSRn after an indirect access
(post-increment) – POSTINCn
• Auto-increment FSRn before an indirect access
(pre-increment) – PREINCn
• Use the value in the WREG register as an offset
to FSRn. Do not modify the value of the WREG or the FSRn register after an indirect access (no change) – PLUSWn
When using the auto-increment or auto-decrement features, the effect on the FSRn is not reflected in the STATUS register. For example, if Indirect Addressing causes the FSRn to equal ‘0’, the Z bit will not be set.
Auto-incrementing or auto-decrementing a FSRn affects all 12 bits. That is, when FSRnL overflows from an increment, FSRnH will be incremented automatically.
Adding these features allows the FSRn to be used as a Stack Pointer in addition to its uses for table operations in data memory.
Each FSRn has an address associated with it that performs an indexed indirect access. When a data access to this INDFn location (PLUSWn) occurs, the FSRn is configured to add the signed value in the WREG register and the value in FSRn to form the address before an indirect access. The FSRn value is not changed. The WREG offset range is -128 to +127.
If an FSRn register contains a value that points to one of the INDFn, an indirect read will read 00h (Zero bit is set), while an indirect write will be equivalent to a NOP (Status bits are not affected).
If an Indirect Addressing write is performed when the target address is an FSRnH or FSRnL register, the data is written to the FSRn register, but no pre- or post-increment/decrement is performed.

5.13 STATUS Register

The STATUS register, shown in Register 5-2, contains the arithmetic status of the ALU. The STATUS register can be the operand for any instruction, as with any other register. If the STATUS register is the destination for an instruction that affects the Z, DC, C, OV or N bits, then the write to these five bits is disabled. These bits are set or cleared according to the device logic. There­fore, the result of an instruction with the STATUS register as destination may be different than intended.
For example, CLRF STATUS will clear the upper three bits and set the Z bit. This leaves the STATUS register as 000u u1uu (where u = unchanged).
It is recommended, therefore, that only BCF, BSF, SWAPF, MOVFF and MOVWF instructions are used to alter the STATUS register, because these instructions do not affect the Z, C, DC, OV or N bits in the STATUS register. For other instructions not affecting any Status bits, see Table 23-2.
Note: The C and DC bits operate as a borrow
and digit borrow bit respectively, in subtraction.

6.0 FLASH PROGRAM MEMORY

The Flash program memory is readable, writable and erasable during normal operation over the entire V range.
A read from program memory is executed on one byte at a time. A write to program memory is executed on blocks of 8 bytes at a time. Program memory is erased in blocks of 64 bytes at a time. A bulk erase operation may not be issued from user code.
While writing or erasing program memory, instruction fetches cease until the operation is complete. The program memory cannot be accessed during the write or erase, therefore, code cannot execute. An internal programming timer terminates program memory writes and erases.
A value written to program memory does not need to be a valid instruction. Executing a program memory location that forms an invalid instruction results in a NOP.

6.1 Table Reads and Table Writes

In order to read and write program memory, there are two operations that allow the processor to move bytes between the program memory space and the data RAM:
• Table Read (TBLRD)
• Table Write (TBLWT)
DD
The program memory space is 16 bits wide, while the data RAM space is 8 bits wide. Table reads and table writes move data between these two memory spaces through an 8-bit register (TABLAT).
Table read operations retrieve data from program memory and place it into TABLAT in the data RAM space. Figure 6-1 shows the operation of a table read with program memory and data RAM.
Table write operations store data from TABLAT in the data memory space into holding registers in program memory. The procedure to write the contents of the holding registers into program memory is detailed in Section 6.5 “Writing to Flash Program Memory”. Figure 6-2 shows the operation of a table write with program memory and data RAM.
Table operations work with byte entities. A table block containing data, rather than program instructions, is not required to be word-aligned. Therefore, a table block can start and end at any byte address. If a table write is being used to write executable code into program memory, program instructions will need to be word-aligned, (TBLPTRL<0> = 0).
The EEPROM on-chip timer controls the write and erase times. The write and erase voltages are gener­ated by an on-chip charge pump rated to operate over the voltage range of the device for byte or word operations.

6.2 Control Registers

Several control registers are used in conjunction with the TBLRD and TBLWT instructions. These include the:
• EECON1 register
• EECON2 register
• TABLAT register
• TBLPTR registers

6.2.1 EECON1 AND EECON2 REGISTERS

EECON1 is the control register for memory accesses.
EECON2 is not a physical register. Reading EECON2 will read all ‘0’s. The EECON2 register is used exclusively in the memory write and erase sequences.
Control bit, EEPGD, determines if the access will be to program or data EEPROM memory. When clear, operations will access the data EEPROM memory. When set, program memory is accessed.
Control bit, CFGS, determines if the access will be to the Configuration registers or to program memory/data EEPROM memory. When set, subsequent operations access Configuration registers. When CFGS is clear, the EEPGD bit selects either program Flash or data EEPROM memory.
The FREE bit controls program memory erase opera­tions. When the FREE bit is set, the erase operation is initiated on the next WR command. When FREE is clear, only writes are enabled.
The WREN bit enables and disables erase and write operations. When set, erase and write operations are allowed. When clear, erase and write operations are disabled – the WR bit cannot be set while the WREN bit is clear. This process helps to prevent accidental writes to memory due to errant (unexpected) code execution.
Firmware should keep the WREN bit clear at all times, except when starting erase or write operations. Once firmware has set the WR bit, the WREN bit may be cleared. Clearing the WREN bit will not affect the operation in progress.
The WRERR bit is set when a write operation is inter­rupted by a Reset. In these situations, the user can check the WRERR bit and rewrite the location. It will be necessary to reload the data and address registers (EEDATA and EEADR) as these registers have cleared as a result of the Reset.
Control bits, RD and WR, start read and erase/write operations, respectively. These bits are set by firmware and cleared by hardware at the completion of the operation.
The RD bit cannot be set when accessing program memory (EEPGD = 1). Program memory is read using table read instructions. See Section 6.3 “Reading the
Flash Program Memory” regarding table reads.
Note: Interrupt flag bit, EEIF in the PIR2 register,
is set when the write is complete. It must be cleared in software.

6.2.2 TABLAT TABLE LATCH REGISTER
The Table Latch (TABLAT) is an 8-bit register mapped into the SFR space. The Table Latch is used to hold 8-bit data during data transfers between program memory and data RAM.
6.2.3 TBLPTR TABLE POINTER REGISTER
The Table Pointer (TBLPTR) addresses a byte within the program memory. The TBLPTR is comprised of three SFR registers: Table Pointer Upper Byte, Table Pointer High Byte and Table Pointer Low Byte (TBLPTRU:TBLPTRH:TBLPTRL). These three regis­ters join to form a 22-bit wide pointer. The low-order 21 bits allow the device to address up to 2 Mbytes of program memory space. Setting the 22nd bit allows access to the Device ID, the User ID and the Configuration bits.
The TBLPTR is used by the TBLRD and TBLWT instruc­tions. These instructions can update the TBLPTR in one of four ways based on the table operation. These operations are shown in Table 6-1. These operations on the TBLPTR only affect the low-order 21 bits.

6.2.4 TABLE POINTER BOUNDARIES

TBLPTR is used in reads, writes and erases of the Flash program memory.
When a TBLRD is executed, all 22 bits of the Table Pointer determine which byte is read from program or configuration memory into TABLAT.
When a TBLWT is executed, the three LSbs of the Table Pointer (TBLPTR<2:0>) determine which of the eight program memory holding registers is written to. When the timed write to program memory (long write) begins, the 19 MSbs of the Table Pointer, TBLPTR (TBLPTR<21:3>), will determine which program memory block of 8 bytes is written to (TBLPTR<2:0> are ignored). For more detail, see Section 6.5 “Writing to Flash Program Memory”.
When an erase of program memory is executed, the 16 MSbs of the Table Pointer (TBLPTR<21:6>) point to the 64-byte block that will be erased. The Least Significant bits (TBLPTR<5:0>) are ignored.
Figure 6-3 describes the relevant boundaries of TBLPTR based on Flash program memory operations.

6.3 Reading the Flash Program Memory

The TBLRD instruction is used to retrieve data from program memory and place it into data RAM. Table
The internal program memory is typically organized by words. The Least Significant bit of the address selects between the high and low bytes of the word. Figure 6-4 shows the interface between the internal program memory and the TABLAT.
reads from program memory are performed one byte at a time.
TBLPTR points to a byte address in program space. Executing a TBLRD instruction places the byte pointed to into TABLAT. In addition, TBLPTR can be modified automatically for the next table read operation.

6.4 Erasing Flash Program Memory

The minimum erase block size is 32 words or 64 bytes under firmware control. Only through the use of an external programmer, or through ICSP control can larger blocks of program memory be bulk erased. Word erase in Flash memory is not supported.
When initiating an erase sequence from the micro­controller itself, a block of 64 bytes of program memory is erased. The Most Significant 16 bits of the TBLPTR<21:6> point to the block being erased. TBLPTR<5:0> are ignored.
The EECON1 register commands the erase operation. The EEPGD bit must be set to point to the Flash pro­gram memory. The CFGS bit must be clear to access program Flash and data EEPROM memory. The WREN bit must be set to enable write operations. The FREE bit is set to select an erase operation. The WR bit is set as part of the required instruction sequence (as shown in Example 6-2), and starts the actual erase operation. It is not necessary to load the TABLAT register with any data, as it is ignored.
For protection, the write initiate sequence using EECON2 must be used.
A long write is necessary for erasing the internal Flash. Instruction execution is halted while in a long write cycle. The long write will be terminated by the internal programming timer.

6.4.1 FLASH PROGRAM MEMORY ERASE SEQUENCE

The sequence of events for erasing a block of internal program memory location is:
1. Load Table Pointer with address of row being
erased.
2. Set the EECON1 register for the erase
operation:
- set EEPGD bit to point to program memory;
- clear the CFGS bit to access program memory;
- set WREN bit to enable writes;
- set FREE bit to enable the erase.
3. Disable interrupts.
4. Write 55h to EECON2.
5. Write 0AAh to EECON2.
6. Set the WR bit. This will begin the row erase cycle.
7. The CPU will stall for duration of the erase (about 2 ms using internal timer).
8. Execute a NOP.
9. Re-enable interrupts.

6.5 Writing to Flash Program Memory

The programming block size is 4 words or 8 bytes. Word or byte programming is not supported.
Table writes are used internally to load the holding registers needed to program the Flash memory. There are 8 holding registers used by the table writes for programming.
Since the Table Latch (TABLAT) is only a single byte, the TBLWT instruction has to be executed 8 times for each programming operation. All of the table write operations will essentially be short writes, because only the holding registers are written. At the end of updating 8 registers, the EECON1 register must be written to, to start the programming operation with a long write.
The long write is necessary for programming the internal Flash. Instruction execution is halted while in a long write cycle. The long write will be terminated by the internal programming timer.

6.5.1 FLASH PROGRAM MEMORY WRITE SEQUENCE

The sequence of events for programming an internal program memory location should be:
1. Read 64 bytes into RAM.
2. Update data values in RAM as necessary.
3. Load Table Pointer with address being erased.
4. Do the row erase procedure (see Section 6.4.1
“Flash Program Memory Erase Sequence”).
5. Load Table Pointer with address of first byte
being written.
6. Write the first 8 bytes into the holding registers
with auto-increment.
7. Set the EECON1 register for the write operation:
- set EEPGD bit to point to program memory;
- clear the CFGS bit to access program memory;
- set WREN bit to enable byte writes.
Program Memory
8. Disable interrupts.
9. Write 55h to EECON2.
10. Write 0AAh to EECON2.
11. Set the WR bit. This will begin the write cycle.
12. The CPU will stall for duration of the write (about 2 ms using internal timer).
13. Execute a NOP.
14. Re-enable interrupts.
15. Repeat steps 6-14 seven times, to write 64 bytes.
16. Verify the memory (table read).
This procedure will require about 18 ms to update one row of 64 bytes of memory. An example of the required code is given in Example 6-3.

7.0 DATA EEPROM MEMORY

The data EEPROM is readable and writable during nor­mal operation over the entire V memory is not directly mapped in the register file space. Instead, it is indirectly addressed through the Special Function Registers (SFR).
There are four SFRs used to read and write the program and data EEPROM memory. These registers are:
• EECON1
• EECON2
• EEDATA
• EEADR
The EEPROM data memory allows byte read and write. When interfacing to the data memory block, EEDATA holds the 8-bit data for read/write and EEADR holds the address of the EEPROM location being accessed. These devices have 256 bytes of data EEPROM with an address range from 00h to FFh.
The EEPROM data memory is rated for high erase/ write cycle endurance. A byte write automatically erases the location and writes the new data (erase­before-write). The write time is controlled by an on-chip timer. The write time will vary with voltage and temperature, as well as from chip-to-chip. Please refer to parameter D122 (Table 25-1 in Section 25.0
“Electrical Characteristics”) for exact limits.

7.1 EEADR

The address register can address 256 bytes of data EEPROM.

7.2 EECON1 and EECON2 Registers

EECON1 is the control register for memory accesses.
EECON2 is not a physical register. Reading EECON2 will read all ‘0’s. The EECON2 register is used exclusively in the memory write and erase sequences.
DD range. The data
Control bit, EEPGD, determines if the access will be to program or data EEPROM memory. When clear, oper­ations will access the data EEPROM memory. When set, program memory is accessed.
Control bit, CFGS, determines if the access will be to the Configuration registers or to program memory/data EEPROM memory. When set, subsequent operations access Configuration registers. When CFGS is clear, the EEPGD bit selects either program Flash or data EEPROM memory.
The WREN bit enables and disables erase and write operations. When set, erase and write operations are allowed. When clear, erase and write operations are disabled; the WR bit cannot be set while the WREN bit is clear. This mechanism helps to prevent accidental writes to memory due to errant (unexpected) code execution.
Firmware should keep the WREN bit clear at all times, except when starting erase or write operations. Once firmware has set the WR bit, the WREN bit may be cleared. Clearing the WREN bit will not affect the operation in progress.
The WRERR bit is set when a write operation is interrupted by a Reset. In these situations, the user can check the WRERR bit and rewrite the location. It is necessary to reload the data and address registers (EEDATA and EEADR), as these registers have cleared as a result of the Reset.
Control bits, RD and WR, start read and erase/write operations, respectively. These bits are set by firmware and cleared by hardware at the completion of the operation.
The RD bit cannot be set when accessing program memory (EEPGD = 1). Program memory is read using table read instructions. See Section 6.1 “Table Reads
and Table Writes” regarding table reads.
Note: Interrupt flag bit, EEIF in the PIR2 register,
is set when write is complete. It must be cleared in software.

7.3 Reading the Data EEPROM
Memory
To read a data memory location, the user must write the address to the EEADR register, clear the EEPGD con­trol bit (EECON1<7>) and then set control bit, RD (EECON1<0>). The data is available for the very next instruction cycle; therefore, the EEDATA register can be read by the next instruction. EEDATA will hold this value until another read operation, or until it is written to by the user (during a write operation).
7.4 Writing to the Data EEPROM
Memory
To write an EEPROM data location, the address must first be written to the EEADR register and the data writ­ten to the EEDATA register. The sequence in Example 7-2 must be followed to initiate the write cycle.
The write will not begin if this sequence is not exactly followed (write 55h to EECON2, write 0AAh to EECON2, then set WR bit) for each byte. It is strongly recommended that interrupts be disabled during this code segment.
Additionally, the WREN bit in EECON1 must be set to enable writes. This mechanism prevents accidental writes to data EEPROM due to unexpected code exe­cution (i.e., runaway programs). The WREN bit should be kept clear at all times, except when updating the EEPROM. The WREN bit is not cleared by hardware.
After a write sequence has been initiated, EECON1, EEADR and EEDATA cannot be modified. The WR bit will be inhibited from being set unless the WREN bit is set. The WREN bit must be set on a previous instruc­tion. Both WR and WREN cannot be set with the same instruction.
At the completion of the write cycle, the WR bit is cleared in hardware and the EEPROM Interrupt Flag bit (EEIF) is set. The user may either enable this interrupt or poll this bit. EEIF must be cleared by software.

7.5 Write Verify

Depending on the application, good programming practice may dictate that the value written to the mem­ory should be verified against the original value. This should be used in applications where excessive writes can stress bits near the specification limit.

7.6 Protection Against Spurious Write

There are conditions when the device may not want to write to the data EEPROM memory. To protect against spurious EEPROM writes, various mechanisms have been built-in. On power-up, the WREN bit is cleared. Also, the Power-up Timer (72 ms duration) prevents EEPROM write.
The write initiate sequence and the WREN bit together help prevent an accidental write during brown-out, power glitch, or software malfunction.

7.7 Operation During Code-Protect

Data EEPROM memory has its own code-protect bits in Configuration Words. External read and write opera­tions are disabled if either of these mechanisms are enabled.
The microcontroller itself can both read and write to the internal data EEPROM, regardless of the state of the code-protect Configuration bit. Refer to Section 22.0 “Special Features of the CPU” for additional information.

7.8 Using the Data EEPROM

The data EEPROM is a high-endurance, byte­addressable array that has been optimized for the storage of frequently changing information (e.g., program variables or other data that are updated often). Frequently changing values will typically be updated more often than specification D124 or D124A. If this is not the case, an array refresh must be performed. For this reason, variables that change infrequently (such as constants, IDs, calibration, etc.) should be stored in Flash program memory.
A simple data EEPROM refresh routine is shown in Example 7-3.
Note: If data EEPROM is only used to store con-

8.0 8 x 8 HARDWARE MULTIPLIER

8.1 Introduction

An 8 x 8 hardware multiplier is included in the ALU of the PIC18F2331/2431/4331/4431 devices. By making the multiply a hardware operation, it completes in a single instruction cycle. This is an unsigned multiply that gives a 16-bit result. The result is stored into the 16-bit Product register pair (PRODH:PRODL). The multiplier does not affect any flags in the STATUS register.
Making the 8 x 8 multiplier execute in a single cycle gives the following advantages:
• Higher computational throughput
• Reduces code size requirements for multiply
algorithms
The performance increase allows the device to be used in applications previously reserved for Digital Signal Processors.
Table 8-1 shows a performance comparison between enhanced devices using the single-cycle hardware multiply and performing the same function without the hardware multiply.

8.2 Operation

Example 8-1 shows the sequence to do an 8 x 8 unsigned multiply. Only one instruction is required when one argument of the multiply is already loaded in the WREG register.
Example 8-2 shows the sequence to do an 8 x 8 signed multiply. To account for the sign bits of the arguments, each argument’s Most Significant bit (MSb) is tested and the appropriate subtractions are done.

9.0 INTERRUPTS

The PIC18F2331/2431/4331/4431 devices have multiple interrupt sources and an interrupt priority feature that allows each interrupt source to be assigned a high-priority level or a low-priority level. The high­priority interrupt vector is at 000008h and the low-priority interrupt vector is at 000018h. High-priority interrupt events will interrupt any low-priority interrupts that may be in progress.
There are thirteen registers which are used to control interrupt operation. These registers are:
• RCON
•INTCON
• INTCON2
• INTCON3
• PIR1, PIR2, PIR3
• PIE1, PIE2, PIE3
• IPR1, IPR2, IPR3
It is recommended that the Microchip header files sup­plied with MPLAB names in these registers. This allows the assembler/ compiler to automatically take care of the placement of these bits within the specified register.
In general, each interrupt source has three bits to control its operation. The functions of these bits are:
• Flag bit to indicate that an interrupt event occurred
• Enable bit that allows program execution to branch to the interrupt vector address when the flag bit is set
• Priority bit to select high priority or low priority (most interrupt sources have priority bits)
The interrupt priority feature is enabled by setting the IPEN bit (RCON<7>). When interrupt priority is enabled, there are two bits which enable interrupts globally. Setting the GIEH bit (INTCON<7>) enables all interrupts that have the priority bit set (high priority). Setting the GIEL bit (INTCON<6>) enables all interrupts that have the priority bit cleared (low priority). When the interrupt flag, enable bit and appropriate global interrupt enable bit are set, the interrupt will vector immediately to address 000008h or 000018h depending on the priority bit setting. Individual interrupts can be disabled through their corresponding enable bits.
®
IDE be used for the symbolic bit
When the IPEN bit is cleared (default state), the interrupt priority feature is disabled and interrupts are compatible with PIC bility mode, the interrupt priority bits for each source have no effect. INTCON<6> is the PEIE bit, which enables/disables all peripheral interrupt sources. INTCON<7> is the GIE bit, which enables/disables all interrupt sources. All interrupts branch to address 000008h in Compatibility mode.
When an interrupt is responded to, the global interrupt enable bit is cleared to disable further interrupts. If the IPEN bit is cleared, this is the GIE bit. If interrupt priority levels are used, this will be either the GIEH or GIEL bit. High-priority interrupt sources can interrupt a low­priority interrupt. Low-priority interrupts are not processed while high-priority interrupts are in progress.
The return address is pushed onto the stack and the PC is loaded with the interrupt vector address (000008h or 000018h). Once in the Interrupt Service Routine, the source(s) of the interrupt can be deter­mined by polling the interrupt flag bits. The interrupt flag bits must be cleared in software before re-enabling interrupts to avoid recursive interrupts.
The “return from interrupt” instruction, RETFIE, exits the interrupt routine and sets the GIE bit (GIEH or GIEL if priority levels are used), which re-enables interrupts.
For external interrupt events, such as the INTx pins or the PORTB input change interrupt, the interrupt latency will be three to four instruction cycles. The exact latency is the same for one or two-cycle instructions. Individual interrupt flag bits are set, regardless of the status of their corresponding enable bit or the GIE bit.
Note: Do not use the MOVFF instruction to modify
any of the Interrupt Control registers while any interrupt is enabled. Doing so may cause erratic microcontroller behavior.

9.1 INTCON Registers

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