1.0 DEVICE OVERVIEW

This document co nta i ns dev ic e spec if i c in for m at ion fo r the following devices:
• PIC18F6527 • PIC18LF6527
• PIC18F6622 • PIC18LF6622
• PIC18F6627 • PIC18LF6627
• PIC18F6722 • PIC18LF6722
• PIC18F8527 • PIC18LF8527
• PIC18F8622 • PIC18LF8622
• PIC18F8627 • PIC18LF8627
• PIC18F8722 • PIC18LF8722
This family offers the advantages of all PIC18 micro­controllers – namely, high computa tional performance at an economical price – with the addition of high­endurance, Enhanced Flash program memory . On top of these features, the PIC18F8722 family introduces design enhancements that make these microcontrollers a logical choice for many high-performance, power sensitive applications.

1.1 New Core Features

1.1.1 nanoWatt TECHNOLOGY

All of the devices in the PIC18 F8722 fami ly incorp orate 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 significantly redu ce d.
Multiple Idle Modes: The controller can also run with its CPU core disabled but the peripherals still active. In these st ates, powe r consumpt ion can be reduced even further.
On-the-fly Mode Switching: The power­managed modes a re invo ked b y user code durin g operation, allowing the user to incorporate power­saving ideas into their application’s software design.
Low Consumption in Key Modules: The power requirements for both Timer1 and the Watchdog Timer are minimized. See Section 28.0 “Electrical Characteristics” for values.

1.1.2 EXPANDED MEMORY

The PIC18F8722 family provides ample room for application code and includes members with 48, 64, 96 or 128 Kbytes of code space.
Data RAM and Data EEPROM: The PIC18F872 2 family also p rov ide s ple nty o f room for applicati on data. The devices have 3936bytes of data RAM, as well as 1024 bytes of data EEPROM, for long term retention of nonvolatile data.
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 40 years.
1.1.3 MULTIPLE OSCILLATOR OPTIONS
AND FEATURES
All of the devices in the PIC18F8722 family offer ten different osci llator option s, all owin g users a w ide 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), as well as a range of 6 user selectable cl ock fre quenc ies, be tween 125 kHz to 4 MHz, for a total of 8 clock frequencies. This option frees the two oscillator pins for use as additional general purpose I/O.
• A Phase Lock Loop (PLL) frequency multiplier, available to both the high-speed crystal and inter­nal oscillator m odes, which a llows clo ck speeds o f up to 40 MHz. Used with the internal oscillator, the PLL gives users a complete selection of clock speeds, from 31 kHz to 32 MHz – all without us ing an external crystal or clock circuit.
© 2008 Microchip Technology Inc. DS39646C-page 7
PIC18F8722 FAMILY
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 co nst ant ly monitors the m ai n c l oc k source against a reference signal provide d by th e internal osci ll at or. If a cl oc k failure occu rs , t he co nt rol le r i s s witc h ed to th e 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.

1.1.4 EXTERNAL MEMORY INTERFACE

In the unlikely event that 128 Kbytes of program memory is inadequate for an application, the PIC18F8527/8622/8627/8722 members of the family also implement an external memory interface. This allows the controller’s internal program counter to address a memory space of up to 2 Mbytes, permitting a level of data access that few 8-bit devices can claim.
With the addition of new operat ing mod es, the ext erna l memory interface offers many new options, including:
• Operating the microcontrol le r entirel y from external memory
• Using combinations of on-chip and external memory, up to the 2-Mbyte limit
• Using external Flash memory for reprogrammable application code or large data tables
• Using external RAM devices for storing large amounts of variable data

1.1.5 EASY MIGRATION

Regardless of the memory size, all devices share the same rich set of peripherals, allowing for a smooth migration path as applications grow and evolve.
The consistent pinout scheme used throughout the entire family also aids in migrating to the next larger device. Thi s is true when mo ving between the 64-pin members, between the 80-pin members, or even jumping from 64-pin to 80-pin devices.

1.2 Other Special Features

Communications: The PIC18F8722 family incorporates a range of serial communication peripherals, including 2 independent Enhanced USARTs and 2 Master SSP modules capable of both SPI and I operation. Also, one of the general purpose I/O ports can be reconfigured as an 8-bit Parallel Slave Port for direct processor-to-processor communications.
CCP Modules: All devices in the family incorporate two Capture/Compare/PWM (CCP) modules and three Enhanced CCP (ECCP) modules to maximize flexibility in control applications. Up to four different time bases may be used to perform severa l di f fe rent operations at once. Each of the three ECCP modul es offer up to four PWM outputs, allowing for a total of 12 PWMs. The ECCPs also offer many beneficial features, including polarity selection, Programmable Dead-Time, Auto-Shutdown and Restart and Half-Bridge and Full-Bridge Output modes.
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.
Extended Instruction Set: The PIC18F8722 family introduces an optional extension to the PIC18 instruction set, which adds 8 new instruc­tions and an Indexed Addressing mode. This extension, enabled as a device configuration option, has been specifi cally des igned to opti mize re-entrant applica tion code original ly deve loped in high-level language s, su ch as C.
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 w ait ing for a sampling period and thus, reduce code overhead.
Extended Watchdog Timer (WDT): This enhanced version in corpora tes a 16 -bit pre scale r, allowing an exte nded time-o ut rang e that is s ta ble across operating voltage and temperature. See Section 28.0 “Electrical Characteristics” for time-out periods.

Devices in the PIC18F8722 family are available in 64-pin and 80-pin packages. Block diagrams for the two groups are shown in Figure 1-1 and Figure 1-2.
The devices are differentiated from each other in five ways:
1. Flash program memory (48 Kbytes for
PIC18F6527/8527 devices, 64 Kbytes for PIC18F6622/8622 devices, 96 Kbytes for PIC18F6627/8627 devices and 128 Kbytes for
All other features fo r device s in this family are identi cal. These are summarized in Table1-2 and Table 1-2.
The pinouts for all devices are listed in Table 1-3 and Table 1-4.
Like all Microchip PIC18 devices, members of the PIC18F8722 family are available as both standard and low-voltage devices. Standard devices with Enhanced Flash memory, designated with an “F” in the part number (such as PIC18F6627), accommodate an operating V
DD range of 4.2V to 5.5V. Low-voltage
parts, designated by “LF” (such as PIC18LF6627), function over an extended VDD range of 2.0V to 5.5V.
PIC18F6722/8722).
2. A/D channels (12 for 64-pin devices, 16 for
80-pin devices).
3. I/O ports (7 bidirectional por ts on 64-pin de vices,
9 bidirectional ports on 80-pin devices).
4. External Memory Bus, configurable for 8 and
16-bit operation, is available on PIC18F8527/ 8622/8627/8722 devices.

2.2 Crystal Oscilla tor/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 ma nufacturer’s specifications.

Note: When using resonators with frequencies
above 3.5 MHz, the use of HS mode, rather than XT mode, is recommended. HS mode may be used at any V which the controller is rated. If HS is selected, it is possible that the gain of the oscillator will overdrive the resonator. Therefore, a series resistor may be placed between the OSC2 pin and the resonator. As a good starting point, the recommended value of R
S is 330Ω.

2.3 External Clock Input

The EC and ECIO Oscillator mode s require an externa l clock source to be conn ected to the OSC1 pi n. 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 f or t est pu r pos es or t o sy nc hr o niz e o t he r logic. Figure 2-3 shows the pin connections for the EC Oscillator mode.

2.4 RC Oscillator

For timing insensitive applications, the RC and RCIO Oscillator modes offer additional cost savings. The actual oscillator frequency is a function of several factors:
• supply voltage
• values of the external resistor (R capacitor (C
EXT)
• operating temperature
Given the same device, operating voltage and tempera­ture and component values, there will also be unit-to-unit frequency variations. These are due to factors such as:
• normal manufacturing variation
• difference in lead frame capacitance between package types (especially for low C
• variati ons within th e tolerance of limits of R
EXT
and C
In the RC Oscillator mode, the oscillator frequency divided by 4 is available on the OSC2 pin. This signal may be used f or t est pu r pos es or t o sy nc hr o niz e o t he r logic. Figure 2-5 shows how the R/C combination is connected.

2.5 PLL Frequency Multiplier

A Phase Locked Loop (PLL) circuit is provided as an option for users who wish to use a lower frequency 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 or users who require higher clock speeds from an internal oscillator.

2.5.1 HSPLL OSCILLATOR MODE

The HSPLL mode make s use of the HS mode osc illator for frequencies up t o 10 MHz. A PLL then multipl ies the oscillator output frequency by 4 to produce an internal clock frequency up to 40 MHz. The PLLEN bit is not available when this mode is configured as the primary clock source.
The PLL is only available to the crystal oscillator when the FOSC<3:0> Configurati on bits are progra mmed for HSPLL mode (= 0110).
FIGURE 2-7: HSPLL BLOCK DIAGRAM
The RCIO Oscillator mode (Figure 2-6) functions like the RC mode, except that the OSC2 pin becomes an additional general purpose I/O pin. The I/O pin becomes bit 6 of PORTA (RA6).

2.5.2 PLL AND INTOSC

The PLL is also ava ilabl e to th e inte rnal os cill ator bl ock when the internal oscillator block is configured as the primary clock source. In this configuration, the PLL is enabled in sof tware and g enerate s a c lock output of u p to 32 MHz. The operation of INTOSC with the PLL is described in Section 2.6.4 “PLL in INTOSC Modes”.

2.6 Internal Oscillator Block

The PIC18F8722 family of devices includes an int erna l oscillator block which generates two different clock signals; either can be used as the microcontroller’s clock source. This may eliminate the need for external oscillator circuits on the OSC1 and/or OSC 2 pins.
The main output (INTOSC) is an 8MHz clock source, which can be used to directly drive the device clock. It also drives a postscaler, which can provide a range of clock frequencies from 31 kHz to 4 MHz. The INTOSC output is enabled when a clock fre quency from 12 5 kHz to 8 MHz is selected. The INTOSC output can also be enabled when 31 kHz is selected, depending on the INTSRC bit (OSCTUNE<7>).
The other clock source is the internal RC oscillator (INTRC), which provides a nominal 31 kHz output. INTRC is enabled if it is selected as the device clock source; it is also ena bled autom atically when an y 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 25.0 “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 (page 39).

2.6.1 INTIO MODES

Using the internal oscillator as the clock source elimi­nates 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 (s ee Fig ure 2-8) for digital input and output.
• In INTIO2 mode, OSC1 functions as RA7 and OSC2 functions as RA6 (see Figure2-9), both for digital input and output.
OSC/4,

2.6.2 INTOSC OUTPUT FREQUENCY

The internal oscillator block is calibrated at the factory to produce an INTOSC output frequency of 8 MHz.
The INTRC oscillator operates independently of the INTOSC source. Any changes in INTOSC across voltage and temperature are not necessarily reflected by changes in INTRC or vice versa.

2.6.3 OSCTUNE REGISTER

The INTOSC output has been calibrated at the factory but can be adjusted in the user’s application. This is done by writing to TUN<4:0> (OSCTUNE<4:0>) in the OSCTUNE register (Register ).
When the OSCTUNE regis ter is mo di fied , the IN T O SC frequency will begin shifting to the new frequency. The INTOSC clock will stabilize within 1 ms. Code execu­tion continues during this shift. There is no indication that the shift has occurred. The INTRC is not affected by OSCTUNE.
The OSCTUNE register also implements the INTSRC (OSCTUNE<7>) and PLLEN (OSCTUNE<6>) bits, which control certain features of the internal oscillator block. The INTSRC bit allows users to select which internal oscillator provides the clock source when the 31 kHz frequenc y o ptio n is selected. This is co vered in greater detail in Section 2.7.1 “Oscillator Control Register”.
The PLLEN bit controls the operation of the Phase Locked Loop (PLL) in internal oscillator modes (see Figure 2-10).

PIC18F8722 FAMILY

2.6.4 PLL IN INTOSC MODES

The 4x Phase Locked Loop (PLL) ca n be used with the internal oscillator block to produce faster device clock speeds than are normally possible with the internal oscillator sources. When enabled, the PLL produces a clock speed of 16 MHz or 32 MHz.
Unlike HSPLL mode, the PLL is controlled through software. The control bit, PLLEN (OSCTUNE<6>), is used to enable or disable its operation.
The PLL is available when the device is configured to use the internal oscillator block as its primary clock source (FOSC<3:0> = 1001 or 1000). Additionally, the PLL will only function when the selected output fre­quency is either 4 MHz or 8 MHz (OSCCON<6:4> = 111 or 110). If both of these conditions are not met, the PLL is disabled and the PLLEN bit remains clear (writes are ignored).

2.6.5 INTOSC FREQUENCY DRIFT

The factory calibrates the internal oscillator block output (INTOSC) for 8 MHz. However, this frequency may drift as V 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. Depending on the device, this may have no effect on the INTRC clock source frequency.
Tuning the INTOSC source requires knowing when to make the adjustment, in which direction it should be made and in some cases, how large a change is needed. Three compensation techniques are discus sed in Section 2.6.5.1 “Compensating with the
EUSART”, Section 2.6.5.2 “Compensating with the Timers” and Section 2.6.5.3 “Compe nsa tin g w it h th e CCP Module in Capture Mode” but other techniques
may be used.

2.6.5.1 Compensating with the EUSART
An adjustment may be required when the EUSART begins to generate frami ng errors or rec eive s dat a with errors while in Asynchronous mode. Framing errors indicate that the device clock frequency is too high. To adjust for this, decrement the value in OSCTUNE to reduce the clock frequency. On the other hand, errors in data may sugge st that the clock speed is to o low. To compensate, increment OSCTUNE to increase the clock frequency.
2.6.5.2 Compensating with the Timers
This technique compares device 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 oscillat or.
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 much greater than expected, then the internal oscillator block is running too fast. To adjust for this, decrement the OSCTUNE register.
2.6.5.3 Compensating with the CCP Module in Capture Mode
A CCP module can use free running Timer1 (or Timer3), cl oc ked by the internal oscillator block and an external event with a known period (i.e., AC power frequency). The ti me of the first ev ent is capt ured 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 su btra cte d fro m the tim e of th e 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 inte rnal oscillator block is running too fast. To compensate, decrement the OSCTUNE register. If the measured time is much less than the calculated time, the inte rnal oscillator block is running too slow. To compensate, increment the OSCTUNE register.

2.7 Clock Sources and Oscillator Switching

The PIC18F8722 family of devices includes a feature that allows the devic e clock so urce to be sw itched fro m the main oscillator to an alternate clock source. These devices also offer two alternate clock sources. When an alternate clock source is enabled, the various power-managed operating modes are available.
Essentially, there are three clock sources for these devices:
• Primary oscillators
• Secondary oscillators
• Internal oscillator block
The primary oscillators include the Ex ternal Crystal and Resonator modes, the External RC modes, the External Clock modes and the internal oscillator block. The particular mode is defined by the FOSC<3:0> Configuration bits. The details of these modes are covered earlier in this chapter.
The se condary 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.
The PIC18F8722 family of devices offers the Timer1 oscillator as a secon dary oscilla tor . This osc illator , in all power-managed modes, is often the time base for functions such as a real-time cloc k.
Most often, a 32.768 kHz watch crystal is connected between the RC0/T1OSO/T13CKI 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 13.3 “Timer1 Oscillator”.
In addition to being a prim ary clock source, the internal oscillator block is available as a power-managed mode clock source. T he IN TR C s ource 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 PIC18F8722 famil y of devic es are shown in Figure 2-11. See Section 25.0 “Special
Features of the CPU” for Configuration register details.

PIC18F8722 FAMILY

2.7.1 OSCILLATOR CONTROL REGISTER

The OSCCON register (Register 2-2) controls several aspects of the device clock’s operation, both in full power operation and in power-managed modes.
The System Clock Select bits, SCS<1:0>, select the clock source. The available clock sources are the primary clock (defined by the FOSC<3:0> Configura­tion bits), the secondary clock (Timer1 oscillator) and the internal oscillator block. The clock source changes immediately after either of the SCS<1:0> bits are changed, following a brief clock transition interval. The SCS bits are reset on all forms of Reset.
The Internal Oscillator Frequency Select bits (IRCF<2:0>) select the fr equenc y output of th e interna l oscillator block to drive the device clock. The choices are the INTRC source (31 kHz), the INTOSC source (8 MHz) or one of the frequencies derived from the INTOSC postscaler (31.25 kHz to 4 MHz). If the internal oscillator block is supplying the device clock, changing the states of these bits will have an immedi­ate change on the internal oscillator’s output. On device Resets, the default output frequency of the internal oscillator block is set at 1 MHz.
When a nominal ou tput frequenc y of 31 kHz is selected (IRCF<2: 0> = 000), users may choose which internal oscillator acts as the source. This is done with the INTSRC bit in the OSCTUNE register (OSCTUNE<7>). Setting this bit selects INTOSC as a 31.25 kHz clock source derived from the INTOSC postscaler. Clearing INTSRC selects INTRC (nominally 31 kHz) as the clock source and disables the INTOSC to reduce current consumption.
This option allows users to select the tunable and more precise INTOSC as a clock source, while maintaining power savings wit h a very low clock speed . Addition­ally , the IN T OSC so urce w ill alread y be sta ble s hould a switch to a higher frequency be needed quickly. Regardless of the setting of INTSRC, INTRC always remains the clock source for features such as the Watchdog Timer and the Fail-Safe Clock Monitor.
The OSTS, IOFS and T1RUN bits indicate which cl ock source is currently providing the device clock. The OSTS bit indicates that the Oscillator Start-up Timer and PLL St art-up T im er (if enable d) have timed o ut and
the primary clock is providing the device clock in primary clock modes. The IOFS bit indicates when the internal oscillator block has stabilized and is providing the device clock in RC Clock modes. The T1RUN bit (T1CON<6>) indicates when the Timer1 oscillator is providing the device clock in secondary clock modes. In power-managed modes, only one of the se thre e bits will be set at any time. If none of these bits are set, the INTRC is providing the clock or the internal oscillator block has just started and is not yet stable.
The IDLEN bit controls whether the device goes into Sleep mode or one of the Idle modes when the SLEEP instruction is executed.
The use of the flag and control bits in the OSCCON register 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 osc illator is enabled by s etting the T1OSCEN bit in the Timer1 Control re gis­ter (T1CON<3>). If the Timer1 oscillator is not enabled, then any at tem pt to se lec t a secondary clock source will be ignore d.
2: It is recommended that the Timer1
oscillator be operating and stable before selecting the secondary clock source or a very long delay may occur while the Timer1 oscillator starts.

2.7.2 OSCILLATOR TRANSITIONS

The PIC18F8722 family of d ev ic es c on t ai ns circuitry to prevent clock “glitches” when switching between clock sources. A short pause in the device clock occurs dur­ing the clock switch. The length o f this p ause is th e sum of two cycles of the old clock source and three to four cycles of the new clock source. This formula assumes that the new clock source is stable.
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 PRI_IDLE mode is selected, the configured oscillator continues to run without interruption. For all other power-managed modes, the oscillator using the OSC1 pin is disa bled. The OSC1 pin (a nd OSC2 pin in crystal oscillator modes) will stop oscillating.
In secondary clock modes (SEC_RUN and SEC_IDLE), the Timer1 oscillator is operating and providing the device clock. The Timer1 oscillator may also run in all power-managed modes if required to clock Timer1 or Timer3.
In internal oscillator modes (RC_RUN and RC_IDLE), the internal oscillator block provides the device clock source. The 31kHz INTRC output can be used dire ctly to provide the clock and may be enabled to support various special features, regardless of the power­managed mode (see Section 25.2 “Watchdog Timer (WDT)” and Section 25.4 “Fail-Safe Clock Monitor” for more information). The INTOSC output at 8 MHz may be used directly to clock the device or may be divided down by the postscaler. The INTOSC output is disabled if the clock is provi ded directly from the INTRC output. The I NTOSC output is also enab led for Two­Speed Start-up at 1 MHz after Resets and when configured for wake from Sleep mode.
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 increas e the current cons umed during S leep. The INTRC is required to support WDT operation. The Timer1 oscillator may be operating to support a real­time clock. Other features m ay be op erating th at do not require a device clock source (i.e., SSP slave, PSP, INTx pins and others). Peripherals that may add significant current consumption are listed in
Section 28.2 “DC Charac teristics”.

2.9 Power-up Delays

Power-up delays are controlled by two or three 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 4.5 “Device Reset Timers”.
The first timer is the Power-up Timer (PWRT) which provides a fixed delay on power-up (parameter 33, Table 28-12). It is enabled by clearing (= 0) the PWRTEN
2.9.1 DELAYS FOR POWER-UP AND
The second timer is the Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST), intended to delay execution 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 HSPL L Oscillator m ode is selected, a third timer delays execution for an additional 2 ms following the HS mode OST delay, so the PLL can lock to the incoming clock frequency. At the end of these delays, the OSTS bit (OSCCON<3>) is set.
There is a delay of interval T Table 28-12), once execution is allowed to start, when 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 us ed as the primary clock source.

3.0 POWER-MANAGED MODE S

The PIC18F8722 family of devices offers a total of seven operating modes for more efficient power man­agement. These modes prov ide a vari ety 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:
• Run modes
• Idle modes
• Sleep mode These categories define which portions of the device
are clocked and some times , what sp eed. The R un and Idle modes may use any of the three available clock sources (primary, secondary or internal oscillator block); the Sleep mode does not use a clock source.
The power-managed modes include several power­saving features of fe red on previ ous P IC is the clock switching feature, offered in other PIC18 devices, allowing the controller to use the Timer1 oscil­lator in place of the primary oscillator. Also included is the Sleep mode, offered by all PIC devices, where all device clocks are stopped.

3.1 Selecting Power-Managed Modes

Selecting a power-managed mode requires two decisions: if the CPU is to be clocked or not and the selection of a clock source. The IDLEN bit (OSCCON<7>) controls CPU clocking, while the SCS<1:0> bits (OSCCON<1:0>) select the clock source. The individual modes, bit settings, clock sources and affected modules are summarized in Table 3-1.

devices. One

3.1.1 CLOCK SOURCES

The SCS1:SCS0 bits allow the sele ction of one o f three clock sources for power-managed modes. They are:
• the primary clock, as defined by the FOSC<3:0> Configuration bits
• the secondary clock (the Timer1 oscillator)
• the internal oscillator block (for INTOSC modes)
3.1.2 ENTERING POWER-MANAGED
MODES
Switching from one power-managed mode to another begins by loading the OSCCON register. The SCS<1:0> bits select the clock source and determine which Run or Idle mode is to be used. Changing these bits causes an immediate switch to the new clock source, assuming that it is running. The switch may also be sub ject to clock tr ansition delays. T hese are discussed in Section 3.1.3 “Clock Transitions and Status Indicators” and subsequent sections.
Entry to the power-managed Idle or Sleep modes is triggered by the execution of a SLEE P instruction. The actual mode that results depends on the status of the IDLEN bit.
Depending on the current mode and the mode being switched to, a change to a power-managed mode does not always require setting all of these bits. Many transitions may be done by changing the oscillator s elect bits, or changing the IDLEN bit, prior to issuing a SLEEP instruction. If the IDLEN bit is already configured correctly, it may only be necessary to perform a SLEEP instruction to switch to the desired mode.

3.1.3 CLOCK TRANSITI ONS AND S TATUS INDICATORS

The length of the transition between clock sources is the sum of two cycles o f the old clo ck so urce an d three to four cycles of the ne w clock source. Thi s formula assumes that the new clock source is stable.
Three bits indicate the current clock source and its status. They are:
• OSTS (OSCCON<3>)
• IOFS (OSCCON<2>)
• T1RUN (T1CON<6>)
In general, only one of these bits will be set while in a given power-managed mode. When the OSTS bit is set, the primary clock is providing the device clock. When the IOFS bit is set, the INTOSC output is providing a stable 8 MHz clock source to a divider that actually drives the device clock. When the T1RUN bit is set, the Timer1 oscillator is providing the clock. If none of these bits are set, then either the INTRC clock source is cloc ki ng t he dev ic e, o r th e INTOSC source is not yet stable.
If the internal oscillator block is configured as the pri­mary clock source by the FOSC<3:0> Configuration bits, 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 genera tin g a stable 8 MHz output. Entering another INTOSC po wer­managed mode at the sam e fre quency would clear the OSTS bit.

3.1.4 MULTIPLE SLEEP COMMANDS

The power-managed mode that is invoked with the SLEEP instruction is determined by the setting of the IDLEN bit at the time the instruction is executed. If another SLEEP instruction is executed, the device will enter the power-ma nag ed mo de s pe ci fie d by ID L EN at that time. If IDLEN has changed, the device will enter the new power-managed mode specified by the new setting.

3.2 Run Modes

In the Run modes, clocks to both the core and peripherals are active. The difference between these modes is the clock source.

3.2.1 PRI_RUN MODE

The PRI_RUN mode is the normal, full power execution mode of the microcontroller. This is also the default mode upon a devi ce Reset, u nless T wo- Sp eed S tart-u p is enabled (see Section 25.3 “Two-Speed Start-up” for details). In this m ode, the OSTS bi t is set. Th e IOFS bit may be set if the internal oscillator block is the primary clock source (see Section 2.7.1 “Oscillator Control Register”).

3.2.2 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 T imer1 os cillator. This gives users the option of lower power consumption w hile still u sing a high accuracy clock source.
SEC_RUN mode is entered by setting the SCS<1:0> bits to ‘01’. The device clock source is switched to the Timer1 oscillator (see Figure 3-1), 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_RU N mode. If the T1OSCEN bit is not set when the SCS<1:0> bits are set to ‘01’, entry to SEC_RUN mode will not occur. If the Timer1 oscillator is enabled, but not yet running, devic e cloc ks will be de layed u ntil the oscillator has started; in such situa­tions, initial oscillator operation is far from stable and unpredictable operation may result.
On transitions from SEC_RUN mode to PRI_RUN, the peripherals and CPU continue to be clocked from the Timer1 oscillator while the primary clock is started. When the primary clo ck bec omes r eady, a clock switch back to the primary clock occurs (see Figure 3-2). When the clock switch is complete, the T1RUN bit is cleared, the OSTS bit is set and the primary clock is providing the clock. The IDLEN and SCS bits are not affected by the wake-up; the Timer1 oscillator continues to run.

3.2.3 RC_RUN MODE

In RC_RUN mode, the CPU and peripherals are clocked from the internal oscillator block using the INTOSC multiplexer. In this mode, 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. It works well for user applications whi ch are n ot h igh ly tim in g-s ens it ive or d o not require high-speed clocks at all times.
If the primary clock source is the internal oscillator block (either INTRC or INTOSC), there are no distin­guishable differences between PRI_RUN and RC_RUN modes during execution. Howe ver, 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.
© 2008 Microchip Technology Inc. DS39646C-page 43
This mode is entered by setting the SCS1 bit to ‘1’. Although it is ignored, it is rec ommended that the SCS0 bit also be cleared; this is to maintain software compat­ibility with future devices. When the clock source is switched to the INTOSC multiplexer (see Figure 3-3), 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 clock speed.

single IRCF bit. If V

If the IRCF bits and the INTSRC bit 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 device clocks.
If the IRCF bits are changed from all clear (thus, enabling the INTOSC output) or if INTSRC is set, the IOFS bit becomes set after the INTOSC output becomes stable. Clocks to the device continue while the INTOSC source stabilizes after an interval of

On transitions from RC_RUN mode to PRI_RUN mode, the device continues to be clocked from the INTOSC multiplexer whil e the prim ary clock is st arted.

When the clock switch is complete, the IOFS bit is cleared, the OSTS bit is set and the primary clock is providing the device clock. The IDLEN and SCS bits are not af fe cte d by the switch. The INTRC source will continue to run if either the WDT or the Fail-Safe Clock Monitor is enabled.
If the IRCF bits w ere prev io us ly at a no n-z ero val ue, or if INTSRC was set before setting SCS1 and the INTOSC source was already stable, the IOFS bi t will remain set.

3.3 Sleep Mode

The power-managed Sleep mode in the PIC18F8722 family of devices is identical to the legacy Sleep mode offered in all other PIC de vices. It is enter ed by clearing the IDLEN bit (the default state on device Reset) and executing the SLEEP instruction. This shuts down the selected oscillator (Figure 3-5). All clock source status bits are cleared.
Entering the Sleep m ode from any other mo de does not require a clock switch. This is because no clocks are needed once the controller has entered Sleep. If the WDT is selected, the INTRC source will continue to operate. If the Timer1 oscillator is enabled, it will also continue to run.
When a wake ev ent occurs i n Sleep mo de (by int errupt, Reset or WDT time-out), the device will not be clocked until the clock source selected by the SCS<1:0> bits becomes ready (see Figure 3-6), or it will be clocked from the internal osc illator block if e ither the T wo-S peed Start-up or the Fail-Safe Clock Monitor are enabled (see Sectio n 25.0 “Spe cial Features o f the CPU”). In either case, the OS TS bit i s set wh en the p rimary cloc k is providing the device cl ocks. The IDLEN and SCS bit s are not affected by the w ake-up.

3.4 Idle Modes

The Idle modes allow the controller’s CPU to be selectively shut down while the peripherals continue to operate. Selecting a particular Idle mode allows users to further manage power consumption.
If the IDLEN bit i s set to a ‘1’ when a SLEEP inst ruction is executed, the periph erals will be cloc ked fro m the cloc k source selecte d using the SCS< 1:0> bits; howev er, the CPU will not be clocked. The clock source status bits are not affected. Setting IDLEN and executing a SLEEP instruction pr ovides a quick method of switchi ng from a given Run mo de to its correspon ding Idle mode.
If the WDT is selected, the INTRC source will continue to operate. If the T imer1 oscill ator is enable d, it will also continue to run.
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 wa ke even t occur s, CPU execution is delayed by an interval of T (parameter 38, Table 28-12) while it becomes ready to execute code. When the CPU begins executing code, it resumes with the same clock source for the current Idle mode. For example, when waking from RC_IDLE mode, the internal oscillator block will clock the CPU and peripherals (in other words, RC_RUN mode). The IDLEN and SCS bits are not affected by the wake-up.
While in any Idle mode or the S leep mode, a WDT time-out will result in a WDT wake-up to the Run mode currently specified by the SCS<1:0> bits.

3.4.1 PRI_IDLE MODE

This mode is uni que among the thre e low-power Idle modes, in that it does not disable the primary device clock. For timing sensitive applications, this allows for the fastest resump tion of devic e operation w ith its mo re accurate pri mary clock source, si nce the cl ock source does not have to “warm-up” or transition from another oscillator.
PRI_IDLE mode is entered from PRI_RUN mode by setting the IDLEN bit and executing a SLEEP instruc­tion. If the device is in another Run mode, set IDLEN first, then clear the SCS bits and execute SLEEP. Although the CPU i s disab led, th e peri pherals cont inue to be clocked from the primary clock source specified by the FOSC< 3:0> Configuration bi ts. The OSTS bit remains set (see Figure3-7).
When a wake event occurs, the CPU is clocked from the primary clock source. A delay of interval T (parameter 39, Table 28-12) is required between the wake event and when code execution starts. This is required to allow the CPU to become ready to ex ecute instructions. After the wake-up, the OSTS bit remains set. The IDLEN and SCS b its are not affected by the wake-up (see Figure 3-8).
CSD

3.4.2 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 from SEC_RUN by set­ting the IDLEN bit and executi ng a SLEEP instruction. If the device is in another Run mode, set the IDLEN bit first, then set the SCS<1:0> bits to ‘01’ and execute SLEEP . When the clock source is switched to the Timer1 oscillato r, the primary osci llator is shut down, the OSTS bit is cleared and the T1RUN bit is set.
When a wake event occurs, the peripherals continue to be clocked from the Timer1 oscillator. After an interval
CSD following the wake event, the CPU b egins exe-
of T cuting code being cloc ked by the T im er1 oscil lator . Th e IDLEN and SCS bits are not affected by the wake-up; the Timer1 oscillator continues to run (see Figure3-8).
Note: The Timer1 oscillator should already be
running prior to entering SEC_IDLE mod e. If the T1OSCEN bit is not set when the SLEEP instruction is executed, the SLEEP instruction will be ignored 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.

3.4.3 RC_IDLE MODE

In RC_IDLE mode, t he C PU is d is abl ed but th e p erip h­erals continue to b e c loc ke d fro m the internal oscilla t or block using the INTOSC multiplexer. This mode allows for controllable power cons ervation during Idl e periods .
From RC_RUN, this mode is entered by setting the IDLEN bit and executing a SLEEP instruction. If the device is in a nother Run mode, first s et IDLEN, th en set the SCS1 bit and execute SLEEP. Although its value is ignored, it is reco mmended that SCS0 also be cle ared; this is to maintain software compatibility with future devices. The INTOSC multiplexer may be used to select a higher clock frequency by modifying the IRCF bits before exec uti ng th e SLEEP instruction. When the clock source is switched to the INTOSC mult iplexer , the primary oscillator is shut down and the OSTS bit is cleared.
If the IRCF bits are set to any non-zero value, or the INTSRC bit is set, the INTOSC output is enabled. The IOFS bit becomes set, after the INTOSC output becomes stable, after an interval of T (parameter 39, Table 28-12). Clocks to the peripherals continue while the INTOSC source stabilizes. If the IRCF bits were previously at a non-zero value, or INTSRC was set before the SLEEP instruction was ex e­cuted and the INTOSC source was already stable, the IOFS bit will remain set. If the IRCF bits and INTSRC are all clear , the INT OSC output will n ot be enabled, the IOFS bit will remain c lear and there will be no ind ication of the current clock source .
When a wake event o ccurs, the pe ripherals co ntinue to be clocked from the INTOSC multiplexer. After a delay
CSD (parameter 38, Table 28-12) following the wake
of T event, the CPU begins executing code being clocked by the INTOSC multiplexer. The IDLEN and SCS bits are not affec ted by the wake-up. T he INTRC sou rce will continue to run if eith er the WDT or th e Fail-Sa fe Cloc k Monitor is enabled.

3.5 Exiting Idle and Sleep Modes

An exit from Sleep mode or any of the Idle modes is triggered b y 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 Section 3.2 “Run Modes”, Section 3.3 “Sleep Mode” and Section 3.4 “Idle Modes”).

3.5.1 EXIT BY INTERRUPT

Any of the available interrupt sources can cause the device to exit from an Idle mode or the Sleep mode to a Run mode. To enable this functionality, an interrupt source must be enab led by s etti ng i t s en able bit in one of the INTCON or PIE registers. The exit sequence is initiated when the c orresponding interrupt flag bit is set.
On all exits from Idle or Sl eep modes 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 10.0 “Interrupts”).
A fixed delay of inter val T is required when leaving Sleep and Idle modes. This delay is required for the CPU to prepare for execution. Instructio n execution r esumes on th e first clock c ycle following this delay.
CSD following th e wake event

3.5.2 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 i s not exec uti ng code (al l Idle mode s and Sleep mode), the time-out will res ul t in a n ex it fro m th e power-managed mode (see Section 3.2 “Run Modes” and Section 3.3 “Sleep Mode”). If the device is executing code (all Run modes), the time-out will result in a WDT Reset (see Section 25.2 “Watchdog Timer (WDT)”).
The WDT timer and postscaler are cleared by executing a SL EE P 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 device clock source.

3.5.3 EXIT BY RESET

Normally, the device is held in Reset by the Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) until the primary clock becomes ready. At that time, the OSTS bit is set and the device begins executing code. If the internal osc il lat or bl oc k i s the new clock source, the IOFS bit is set instead.
The exit delay time from Reset to the start of code execution depends on both the clock sources before and after the wake-up and the type of oscillator if the new clock source is the primary clock. Exit delays are summarized in Table 3-2.
Code execution can begin before the primary clock becomes ready. If either the Two-Speed Start-up (see Section 25.3 “Two-Speed Start-up”) or Fail-Safe Clock Monitor (see Section 25.4 “Fail-Safe Clock Monitor”) is enabled, the device may begin execution as soon as the Reset source ha s cle are d. Execution is clocked by the INTO SC mu lti ple xe r driv en b y th e inter­nal oscillator bloc k. Executi on is clo cked by the interna l oscillator block until either the primary clock becomes ready or a power-mana ged mo de is e ntered b efore th e primary clock beco mes re ady; the pri mary clo ck is then shut down.

3.5.4 EXIT WITHOUT AN OSCILLATOR START-UP DELAY

Certain exits from power-managed modes do not invoke the OST at all. There are two cases:
• 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 instances, 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 of interval
CSD following the wake event is still required when
T leaving Sleep and Idle modes to allow the CPU to prepare for execution. Instruction execution resumes on the first clock cycle following this delay.

4.0 RESET

A simplified block di agram of the On-Chip Reset Circu it is shown in Figure 4-1.
The PIC18F8722 family of devices differentiates between various kinds of Reset:
a) Power-on Reset (POR) b) MCLR
Reset during normal operation c) MCLR Reset during power-managed modes d) Watchdog Timer (WDT) Reset (during
execution) e) Programmable Brown-out Reset (BOR) f) RESET Instruction g) Stack Full Reset h) Stack Underflow Reset
This section discusses Resets generated by MCLR POR and BOR and covers the ope rati on o f the various start-up timers. Stack Reset events are covered in Section 5.1.3.4 “Stack Full and Underflow Resets”. WDT Resets are co v ere d i n Section 25.2 “Watchdog

4.1 RCON Register

Device Reset events are tracked through the RCON register (Register 4-1). The lower five bits of the regis­ter indicate that a specif ic Reset eve nt has occu rred. In most cases, thes e bits c an only be cl eared by the e vent and must be set by the ap pli ca tio n af ter the event. The state of these flag bits, taken together, can be read to indicate the type of Reset that just occurred. This is described in more detail in Section 4. 6 “Reset State of Registers”.
The RCON register also has control bits for setting interrupt priority (IPEN) and software control of the BOR (SBOREN). Interrupt priority is discussed in
Section 10.0 “Interrupts”. BOR is covered in Section 4.4 “Brown-out Reset (BOR)”.

4.2 Master Clear (MCLR)

The MCLR pin provides a method for triggering an external Reset of the device. A Reset is generated by holding the pin low. Thes e device s have a no ise filter i n the MCLR
Reset path which detects and ignores small
pulses. The MCLR
pin is not drive n low by any inter nal Reset s,
including the WDT. In the PIC18F8722 family of devices, the MCLR
input can be disabled with the MCLRE Configuration bit. When MCLR is disabled, the pin becomes a digital input. See Section 11.5 “PORTE, TRISE and LATE
Registers” for more information.

4.3 Power-on Reset (POR)

A Power-on Reset pulse is generated on-chip whenever V allows the device to start in the initialized state when VDD is adequate for operation.
T o t ake advantage o f the POR circuitry , tie the MCLR through a resistor (1 kΩ to 10 kΩ) to V eliminate external RC components usually needed to create a Power-on Reset delay . A minimum ri se rate for
DD is specified (parameter D004, “Section 28.2 “DC
V Characteristics: Power-Down and Supply Current”). For a slow rise time, see Figure 4-2.
When the device st arts normal operati on (i.e ., ex its 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.
POR events are captured by the POR The state of th e bit is set to ‘0’ wh enever a POR occurs; it does not change for any other Reset event. POR is not reset to ‘1’ by any hardware event. To capture multiple events, the user manually resets the bit to ‘1’ in software following any POR.

4.4 Brown-out Reset (BOR)

The PIC18F 87 22 f am il y of de vi ces im p lem en ts a BO R circuit that provides the user with a number of con­figuration and power-saving options. The BOR is controlled by the BORV<1:0> and BOREN<1:0> Configuration bits. There are a total of four BOR configurations which are summarized in Table 4-1.
The BOR threshold is set by the BORV<1:0> bits. If BOR is enabled (any values of BOREN<1:0>, except ‘00’), any drop of V Section 28. 1 “DC Characteris tics”) for greater than TBOR (parameter 35, Table 28-12) will reset the device. A Reset may or may not occur if V for less tha n TBOR. The chip will remain in Br own-o ut Reset until V
If the Power-up T imer is enab led, it will be inv oked after
DD rises above VBOR; it then will keep the chip in
V Reset for an additional time delay, T (parameter 33, Table 28-12). 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 VDD rises above VBOR, the Power-up Timer will execute the additional time delay.
BOR and the Power-on Timer (PWRT) are independently configured. Enabling BOR Reset does not automat ically enable the PWRT.

4.4.1 SOF TWARE ENABLED BOR

When BOREN<1:0> = 01, the BOR can be enabled or disabled by the user in software. This is done with the control bit, SBOREN (RCON<6>). Setting SBOREN enables the BOR to function as previously described. Clearing SBOREN disables the BOR entirely. The SBOREN bit operates only in this mode; otherwise it i s read as ‘0’.

PWRT
Placing the BOR under software control gives the user the additional flexibility of tailoring the application to its environment withou t ha vi ng to reprogram the devi ce to change the BOR configuration. It also allows the user to tailor device power consumption in software by eliminating the incremental current that the BOR con­sumes. While the BOR current is typically very small, it may have some impact in low-power applications.
Note: Even when BOR is under software control,
the BOR Reset voltage level is still set by the BORV<1:0> Configuration bits. It cannot be changed in software.

4.4.2 DETECTING BOR

When BOR is enabl ed, the BOR bit always resets to ‘0’ on any BOR or P OR event. This makes it d ifficult to determine if a BOR event has occurre d jus t by reading the state of BOR simultaneously check the state of both POR This assumes that the POR immediately after any POR event. If BOR POR

4.4.3 DISABLING BOR IN SLEEP MODE

When BOREN<1:0> = 10 , the BOR remains under hardware control and operates as previously described. Whenever the device enters Sleep mode, however , the BOR is au tom ati ca lly dis abl ed . When the device returns to any other operating mode, BOR is automatically re-enabled.
This mode allows for applications to recover from brown-out situations, while actively executing code, when the device requires BOR protection the most. At the same time, it save s additional po wer in Sleep mod e by eliminating the small incremental BOR current.

4.5 Device Reset Timers

The PIC18F8722 family of devices incorporates three separate on-chip timers that help regulate the Power-on Reset process. Their main function is to ensure that the device clock is stable before code is executed. These timers are:
• Power-up Timer (PWRT)
• Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST)
• PLL Lock Time-out

4.5.1 POWER-UP TIMER (PWRT)

The Power-up Timer (PWRT) of the PIC18F8722 family of devices is an 11-bit counter which uses the INTRC source as the clock input. While the PWRT is counting, the device is held in Reset.
The power-up time delay depe nd s on the INTRC cl oc k and will vary from chip-to-chip due to temperature and process variation. See DC parameter 33 in Table 28-12 for details.
The PWRT is enabled by clearing the PWRTEN Configuration bit.
4.5.2 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, Table 28-12). 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-manag ed modes.

4.5.3 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 separate timer is used to provide a fixed time-out tha t i s su f f i cient for the PLL to lock to the main oscillator frequency. This PLL lock time-o ut (T
PLL) is typically 2 ms and follows the
oscillator start-up time-out.

4.5.4 TIME-OUT SEQUENCE

On power-up, the time-out sequence is as follows:
1. After the POR pulse has cleared, PWR T time-out is invoked (if enabled).
2. Then, the OST is activated.
The total time-out will vary based on oscillator configu­ration and the status of the PWRT. Figure 4-3, Figure 4-4, Figure 4-5, Figure 4-6 and Figure 4-7 all depict time-out sequences on power-up, with the Power-up Timer enabled and the device operating in HS Oscillator mode. Figure s 4-3 through 4-6 also apply to devices operating in XT or LP m odes. F or devi ces i n RC mode and with the PWRT disabled, on the other hand, there will be no time-out at all.
Since the time-outs occur from the POR pulse, if MC LR is kept low long e nough, all ti me -out s will e xpire. Brin g­ing MCLR (Figure 4-5). This is useful for testing purposes or to synchronize more than one PIC18F8722 family device operating in parallel.

5.0 MEMORY ORGANIZATION

There are three types of memory in PIC18 Enhanced microcontroller devices:
• Program Memory
• Data RAM
• Data EEPROM As Harvard architecture dev ices, the dat a and progra m
memories use separate busses; this allows for concur­rent access of the two memory spaces. The data EEPROM, for practical purposes, can be regarded as a peripheral device, since it is addresse d and accessed through a set of control registers.
Additional detailed information on the operation of the Flash program memory is provided in Section 6.0 “Flash Program Memory”. Data EEPROM is discussed s eparately in Section 8.0 “Data EEPROM
Memory”.

5.1 Program Memory Organization

PIC18 microcontrollers implement a 21-bit program counter, which is capable of addressing a 2-Mbyte program memory space. Accessing a location between the upper boundary of the physically implemented memory and the 2-Mbyte address will return all ‘0’s (a NOP instruction).
The PIC18F6527 and PIC18F8527 each have 48 Kbytes of Flash memory an d can sto re up to 24, 576 sing le-wor d instructions.
The PIC18F6622 and PIC18F8622 each have 64 Kbytes of Flash memory an d can sto re up to 32, 768 sing le-wor d instructions.
The PIC18F6627 a nd PIC18F86 27 each hav e 96 Kbytes of Flash memory an d can sto re up to 49, 152 sing le-wor d instructions.
The PIC18F6722 and PIC18F8722 each have 128 Kbytes of Flash memory and can store up to 65,536 single-word instructions.
PIC18 devices have two interrupt vectors. The Reset vector address is at 0000h and the interrupt vector addresses are at 0008h and 0018h.
The program memory map for the PIC18F8722 family of devices is shown in Figure 5-1.

5.1.1 PIC18F8527/8622/8627/8722 PROGRAM MEMORY MODES

PIC18F8527/8622/8627/8722 devices differ signifi­cantly from their PIC18 pred ecesso rs in their util izatio n of program memory. In addition to available on-chip Flash program memory, these controllers can also address up to 2 Mbytes of external program memory through the external memory interface. There are four distinct operating modes available to the controllers:
• Microprocessor (MP)
• Microprocessor with Boot Block (MPBB)
• Extended Microcontroller (EMC)
• Microcontroller (MC)
The program memory mode is determined by setting the two Least Significant bits of the Configuration Register 3L (CONFIG3L) as shown in Register 25-4 (see Section 25.1 “Configuration Bits” for additional details on the device Configuration bits).
The program memory modes operate as follows:
•The Microprocessor Mode permits access only
to external program memory; the contents of the on-chip Flash memory are ignored. The 21-bit program counter permits access to a 2-Mbyte linear program memory space.
• The Microprocessor with Boot Block Mode
accesses on-chip Flash memory from the boot block. Above this, external program memory is accessed all the way up to the 2-Mbyte limit. Program execution automatically switches between the two memories as required. The boot block is configurable to 1, 2 or 4 Kbytes.
• The Microcontroller Mode accesses only
on-chip Flash memory. Attempts to read above the physical limit of the on-chip Flash (0BFFFh for the PIC18F8527, 0FFFFh for the PIC18F8622, 17FFFh for the PIC18F8627, 1FFFFh for the PIC18F8722) causes a read of all ‘0’s (a NOP instruction). The Microcontroller mode is also the only operating mode available to PIC18F6527/6622/6627/6722 devices.
•The Extended Microcontroller Mode allows
access to both internal and external program memories as a single block. The device can access its entire on-chip Flash memory; above this, the device accesses external program memory up to the 2-Mbyte program space limit. As with Boot Block mode, ex ecution a utomatica lly switches between the two memories as required.
In all modes, the microcontroller has complete access to data RAM and EEPROM.
Figure 5-2 comp are s t he me mo ry m aps of the dif fere nt program memory modes. The differences between on-chip and external memory access limitations are more fully explained in Table 5-1.

5.1.2 PROGRAM COUNTER

The Program Counter (PC ) specifies the address of th e instruction to fetch for execu tion. The PC is 21 bits wide and is contained in three separate 8-bit registers. The low byte, known as the PCL register, is both readable and writable. The high byt e, or PCH re gister, contains the PC<15:8> bits; i t is not directly re adable or writ able. Updates to the PCH register are perfo rmed through the PCLATH register. The upper byte is called PCU. This register contains the PC<20:16> bits; it is also not directly readable or writable. Updates to the PCU register are performed through the PCLATU register.
The contents of PCLATH and PCLATU are transferred to the program counter by any operation that writes PCL. Similarly, the upper two bytes of the program counter are transferred to P CLATH and PCLATU by an operation that reads PCL. This is useful for computed offsets to the PC (see Section 5.1.5.1 “Computed GOTO”).
The PC addresses bytes in the program memory. To prevent the PC from becoming misaligned with word instructions, the Least Significant bit 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.

5.1.3 RETURN ADDRESS STACK

The return address s tack allows any co mb ination of up to 31 program calls and interrupts to occur. The PC is pushed onto th e stac k 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, STKPTR. The stac k space is not part of either program or da ta sp ace. The Stack Point er is readable and writable and the address on the top of the stack is readable and writable through the top-of­stack Special File Registers. Data can also be pushed to, or popped from the stack, using these registers.
A CALL type instru ctio n cau ses a pu sh ont o the stack; the Stack Pointer is first incremented and the location pointed to by the Stack Pointer is written with the contents of the PC (already pointing to the instruction following the CALL). A RETURN type instruction causes a POP from the stack; the contents of the location pointed to by the STKPTR are transferred to the PC and then the Stack Pointer is decremented.
The Stack Pointer is initialized to ‘00000’ after all Resets. There is no RAM associated with the location corresponding to a Stack Pointer value of ‘00000’; this is only a Reset value. Stat us bit s in dic ate if the stack is full or has overflowed or has underflowed.
5.1.3.1 Top-of-Stack Access
Only the top of the return address stack (TOS) is readable and writable. A set of three registers, TOSU:TOSH:TOSL, hold the content s of the stack loca­tion pointed to by the STKPTR register (Figure5-3). This allows users to implement a software stack if nec essary. After a CALL, RCALL or interrupt, the software can read the pushed value by reading the TOSU:TOSH:TOSL registers. These values can be placed on a use r defined software stack. At return time, the software can return these values to TOSU:TOSH:TOSL and do a return.
The user must disable the global interrupt enable bits while accessing the stack to prevent inadvertent stack corruption.

PIC18F8722 FAMILY
5.1.3.2 Return Stack Pointer (STKPTR)
The STKPTR register (Register5-1) contains the St ack 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. On 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 pu sh ed ont o the s ta ck 31 time s (witho ut popping any values off the stack), the STKFUL bit is set. The STKFUL bit is cleared by software or by a POR.
The action that takes place when the stack becomes full depends on the state of the STVREN (Stack Over­flow Reset Enable) Configuration bit. (Refer to Section 25.1 “Configuration Bit s” for a descrip tion of the device Configuration bits.) If STVREN is set (default) , the 31st PUSH will push the (PC + 2) value onto the stack, set the STKFUL bit and reset the device. The STKFUL bit will remain set and the Stack Pointer will be set to zero.
If STVREN is cleared, the STKFUL bi t will be set on the 31st PUSH and the Stack Pointer will increment to 31. Any additional pushes will not overwrite the 31st PUSH and STKPTR will remain at 31.
When the stack has been popped enough times to unload the stack, the next POP will return a value of zero to the PC and set the STKUNF bit, wh ile the S t ack Pointer remains at zero. The STKUNF bit will remain set until cleared by software or until a POR occurs.
Note: Returning a value of zero to the PC on an
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.
5.1.3.3 PUSH and POP Instructions
Since the Top-of-Stack is readable and writable, the ability to push value s on to the st ac k an d pul l values off the stack without disturbing normal program execution is a desirable feature. The PIC18 instruction set includes two instructions, PUSH and POP, that permit the TOS to be manipulated under software control. TOSU, TOSH and T OS L can be m odifie d to plac e dat a or a return address on the stack.
The PUSH instruction places the current PC value onto the stack. This increments the Stack Pointer and loads the current PC value onto the stack.
The POP instruction discards the current TOS by decre­menting the Stack Pointer. The previous value pushed onto the stack then becomes the TOS value.

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

5.1.4 FAST REGISTER STACK

A fast register stack is provided for the STATUS, WREG and BSR registers, to provide a “fast return” option for interrupts. The stack for each register is onl y one level deep and is neith er readable no r writable. It is loaded with the curre nt val ue of the corres pondi ng reg­ister when the processor vectors for an interrupt. All interrupt sources will push values into the Stack regis­ters. The values in the registers are then loaded back into their associated registers if the RETFIE, FAST instruction is used to return from the interrupt.
If both low and high-priority interrupts are enabled, the stack registers cannot be used reliably to return from low-priority interrupts. If a high-priority interrupt occurs while servicing a low-priority interrupt, the Stack regis­ter values stored by the low-priority interrupt will be overwritten. In these cases, users must save the key registers in software during a low-priority interrupt.
If interrupt priority is not used, all interrupts ma y use the fast register stack for returns from interrupt. If no inter­rupts are used, the fast register 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.
EXAMPLE 5-1: FAST REGISTER STACK
CODE EXAMPLE

5.1.5 LOOK-UP TABLES IN PROGRAM MEMORY

There may be programming situations that require the creation of data structures, or look-up tables, in program memory. For PIC18 devices, look-up tables can be implemented in two ways:
• Computed GOTO
• Table Reads
5.1.5.1 Computed GOTO
A computed GOTO is accompli shed by adding an offset to the program counter. An example is shown in Example 5-2.
A look-up table can be formed with an ADDWF PCL instruction and a group of RETLW nn instructions. The W register is load ed with an of fset in to the t able bef ore 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 th e RETLW nn instru ctions that returns the valu e ‘nn’ to t he calling func tio n.
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.
Note: The “ADDWF PCL” instruction does not
update the PCLATH and PCLATU registers. A read operation on PCL must be performed to update PCLATH and PCLA TU.

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

5.2 PIC18 Instruction Cycle

5.2.1 CLOCKING SCHEME

The microcontroller clock input, whether from an internal or external source, is internally divided by four to gener­ate four non-overlapping quadrature clocks (Q1, Q2, Q3 and Q4). Internally, the program counter is incremented on every Q1; the instruction is fetched from the program
FIGURE 5-4: CLOCK/INSTRUCTION CYCLE
memory and latched into the instruction register during 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.

5.2.2 INSTRUCTION FLOW/PIPELINING

An “Instruction Cycle” consists of four Q cycles: Q1 through Q4. The instruction fetch and execute are pipelined in such a manner that a fetch takes one instruction cycle, while the decode and execute take another instruction cycle. However, due to the pipe­lining, each instruction effectively executes in one cycle. If a n instruc tion caus es the pro gram coun ter to change (e.g., GOTO), then two cycles are required to complete the instruction (Example 5-3).
A fetch cycle begins with the program counter incrementing in Q1.
In the execution cy cle, the fetch ed instruction i s latched into the Instruction Register (IR) in cycle Q1. This instruction is then decoded and executed during the Q2, Q3 and Q4 c ycles. Dat a m emory is read during Q2 (operand read) and written during Q4 (destination write).

5.2.3 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). To maintain alignment with instruction bo undaries , the PC incr ements in step s of 2 and the LSb wi ll always read ‘0’ (see Section 5.1.2 “Program Counter”).
Figure 5-5 shows an ex am ple of h ow in st ruc tion w ord s are stored in the program memory.
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. Instruction #2 in Figure 5-5 shows how the instruction GOTO 0006h is encoded in the program memory. Program branch instructions, which encode a relative address offset, operate in the same ma nner. The offset value stored in a branch instruction represents the number of single-word instructions that the PC will be offset by. Section 26.0 “Instruction Set Summary” provides further details of the instruction set.

5.2.4 TWO-WORD INSTRUCTIONS

The standard PIC18 instruction set has 8 two-word instructions: CALL, MOVFF, GOTO, LSFR, ADDULNK, CALLW, MOVSS and SUBULNK. In all cases, the second word of th e instructi ons always ha s ‘1111’ as its four Most Signi fican t bit s; the oth er 12 bit s are li teral data, usually a data memory address.
The use of ‘1111’ in the 4 MSbs of an instruction spec­ifies a special form of NOP. If the instruction is executed in proper sequence – immed iate ly af ter the first word – the data in the s econd w ord is ac cessed an d used by
the instruction seq ue nce . If the first word is skipped for some reason and the se cond word is ex ecuted by itsel f, a NOP is executed instead. This is necessary for cases when the two-word instruction is preceded by a condi­tional instruction that changes the PC. Example 5-4 shows how this works.
Note: See Section 5.6 “PIC18 Instruction
Execution and the Extended Instruc­tion Set” for information on two-word
instructions in the extended instruction set.

5.3 Data Memory Organization

Note: The operation of some aspects of data
memory are changed when the PIC18 extended instruction set is enabled. See
Section 5.5 “Data Memory and the Extended Instruction Set” for more
information.
The data memory in PIC18 devices is implemented as static RAM. Each register in the data memory has a 12-bit address, allowing up to 4096 bytes of data memory . The m emory sp ace is div ided into as many as 16 banks that con tain 256 by tes each; the PIC18F 8722 family of devices implements all 16 banks. Figure 5-6 shows the data memory organization for the PIC18F8722 family of devices.
The data memory contains Special Function Registers (SFRs) and General Purpose Registers (GPRs). The SFRs are used for control and status of the controller and peripheral functio ns, while GPRs are us ed for data storage and scratchpad operations in the user’s application. Any re ad of an unimpl emented location will read as ‘0’s.
The instruction set and architecture allow operations across all banks. The entire data memory may be accessed by Direct, Indirect or Indexed Addressing modes. Addressing modes are discussed later in this subsection.
To ensure that commonly used registers (SFRs and select GPRs) c an b e ac ce ssed in a si ngle cyc le, PI C18 devices impl em ent an Ac ce ss Ba nk . Th is i s a 256-byte memory space that pr ovid es fa st acc ess to SFRs a nd the lower portion of GPR Bank 0 without using the BSR. Section 5.3.2 “Access Bank” provides a detailed description of the Access RAM.

5.3.1 BANK SELECT REGISTER (BSR)

Large areas of data memory require an efficient addressing scheme to make rapid access to any address possible. Ideally, this means that an entire address does not need to be provided for each read or write operation. For PIC18 devices, this is accom­plished with a RAM banking scheme. This divides the memory space into 16 contiguous banks of 256 bytes. Depending on the instruction, each location can be addressed directly by its full 12-bit address, or an 8-bit low-order address and a 4-bit Bank Pointer.
Most instruct ions in th e PIC18 in struct ion set ma ke use of the Bank Pointer , known as the Ba nk Select Reg ister (BSR). This SFR holds the 4 Most Significant bits of a location’s address; the instruction itself includes the 8 Least Significant bits. Only the four lower bits of the BSR are implemented (BSR<3:0>). Th e upper four bit s are unused; they will always read ‘0’ and cannot be written to. The BSR can be l oaded direc tly b y using the MOVLB instruction.
The value of the BSR indicates the bank in data memory; the 8 bits in the instruction show the location in the bank and can be thought of as an o f fs et from th e bank’s lower boundary. The relationship between the BSR’s value and the bank division in data memory is shown in Figure 5-7.
Since up to 16 reg isters m ay sh are the same l ow-ord er address, the user must alway s be careful to ensure that the proper bank is selected before performing a data read or write. For example, writing what should be program data to an 8 -bi t ad dres s of F 9h w h il e th e BSR is 0Fh will end up resetting the program counter.
While any bank can be s el ec ted, only those banks th at are actually implemented can be read or written to. Writes to unimplemented banks are ignored, while reads from unimplemented banks will return ‘0’s. Even so, the STATUS register will still be affected as if the operation was successful. The data memory map in Figure 5-6 indicates which banks are implemented.
In the core PIC18 instruction set, only the MOVFF instruction fully specifies the 12-bit address of the source and target registers. This i nstruction ig nores the BSR completely when it ex ecutes. All o ther instructi ons include only the low-order address as an operand and must use either the BSR or the Access Bank to locate their target registers.

5.3.2 ACCESS BANK

While the use of the BSR with an embedded 8-bit address allows users to address the entire range of data memory, it also means th at the user must a lways ensure that the correct bank is selected. Otherwise, data may be read from or written to the wrong location. This can be disastrous if a GPR is the intended target of an operation, but an SFR is written to instead. Verifying and/or changing the BSR for each read or write to data memory can become very inefficient.
memory locations, the data memory is configured with an Access Bank, which allows users to access a mapped block of memory without specifying a BSR. The Access Bank consists of the first 96 bytes of
T o stre amline acces s for the most commonl y used data
memory (00h-5Fh) in Bank 0 and the last 160 bytes of memory (60h-FFh) in Block 15 . The lower half is known as the “Access RAM” and is composed of GPRs. This upper half is also where the device’s SFRs are mapped. These two areas are mapped contiguously in the Access Bank and can be addressed in a linear fashion by an 8-bit address (Figure 5-6).
The Access Bank is used by core PIC18 instructions that inclu de the Acce ss RAM bit ( the ‘a’ parame ter in the instruction). When ‘a’ is equal to ‘1’, the instru ct ion uses the BSR and the 8-bit address included in the opcode for the data memory address. When ‘a’ is ‘0’,
however, the instruction is forced to use the Access Bank address map; the current value of the BSR is ignored entirely.
Using this “forced” addressing allows the instruction to operate on a data address in a single cycle, without updating the BSR first. For 8-bit addresses of 60h and above, this mean s that use rs can ev aluate an d operate on SFRs more efficiently. The Access RAM below 60h is a good place for da ta values that the user might need to access rapidly, such as immediate computational results or common program variables. Access RAM also allows for faster and more code efficient context saving and switching of variables.
The mapping of the Access Bank is slightly different when the extended instruction set is enabled (XINST Configuration bit = 1). This is discussed in more deta il in Section 5.5.3 “Mapping the Access Bank in Indexed Literal Offset Mode”.

5.3.3 GENER AL PURPOSE REGISTER FILE

PIC18 devices may have banked memory in the GPR area. This is data RAM, which is available for use by all instructions. GPRs start at the bottom of Bank 0 (address 000h) and grow upwards towards the bottom of the SFR area. GPRs are not initialized by a Power-on Reset and are unchanged on all other Resets.

5.3.4 SPECIAL FUNCTION REGISTERS

The Special Function Registers (SFRs) are registers used by the CPU and p eripheral modul es for controllin g the desired operation of the device. These reg isters are implemented as static RAM. SFRs start at the top of data memory (FF Fh) an d extend downw ard to oc cupy the top half of Bank 15 (F60h to FFFh). A list of these registers is given in Table 5-2 and Table 5-3.
The SFRs can be classified into two sets: those associated with the “core” device functionality (ALU, Resets and interrupts) and those related to the peripheral functions. The Reset and interrupt registers are described in their respective chapters, while the ALU’s STATUS register is described later in this sec­tion. Registers related to the operation of a peripheral feature are described in the chapter for that pe riphera l.
The SFRs are typically distributed among the peripherals whose fun cti ons th ey c ontr ol. U nus ed SFR locations are unimplemented and read as ‘0’s.

5.3.5 STATUS REGISTER

The STATUS register, shown in Register 5-2, contains the arithmetic status of the ALU. As wi th any other SFR, it can be the operand for any instruction.
If the STA TUS register is the destination for an instruction that affects the Z, DC, C, OV or N bits, the results of the instruction are not written; instead, the STATUS register is updated a ccording to the i nstructio n perfor med. There ­fore, the result of an inst ruction with th e STATUS registe r as its destinat ion may b e differe nt than inten ded. As an example, CLRF STATUS will set the Z bit and leave the remaining Status bits unchanged (‘000u u1uu’).
It is recommended that only BCF, BSF, SWAPF , MOVFF and MOVWF instructions are used to alter the STATUS register , b ecaus e thes e ins tructi ons d o not af fect t he Z, C, DC, OV or N bits in the STATUS register.
For other instructions that do not aff ect Status bi t s , se e the instruction set summaries in Table 26-2 and Table 26-3.
Note: The C and DC bits operate as the borrow
and digit borrow bits, respectively, in subtraction.

5.4 Data Addressing Modes

Note: The execution of some instructions in the
core PIC18 instruction set are changed when the PIC18 extended instruction set is enabled. See Section 5.5 “Data Memory and the Extended Instruction Set” for more information.
The data memory space can be addr essed in se veral ways. For most instructions, the addressing mode is fixed. Other instructions may use up to three modes, depending on whic h operands are used and whe ther or not the extended instruction set is enabled.
The addressing modes are:
• Inherent
• Literal
•Direct
•Indirect An additional addressing mode, Indexed Literal Offset,
is available when the extended instruction set is enabled (XINST Configuration bit = 1). Its operation is discussed in greater detail in Section 5.5.1 “Indexed Addressing with Literal Offset”.

5.4.1 INHERENT AND LITERAL ADDRESSING

Many PIC18 control instructions do not need any argu­ment at all; they either perform an operation that globally affects the device or they operate implicitly on one register. This addressing mode is known as Inherent Addressing. Examples include SLEEP, RESET and DAW.
Other instructions work in a similar way but require an additional explicit argument in the opcode. This is known as Literal Addressing mode because they require some literal value as an argument. Examples include ADDLW and MOVLW, which respectively, add or move a literal value to the W register. Other examples include CALL and GOTO, which include a 20-bit program memory address.

5.4.2 DIRECT ADDRESSING

Direct Addressing specifies all or part of the source and/or destination address of the operation within the opcode itself. The options are specified by the arguments accompanying the instruction.
In the core PIC18 inst ruct ion se t, bit-ori ented and by te­oriented instructions use some version of Direct Addressing by default. All of these instructions include some 8-bit literal address as their Least Significant Byte. This address spec ifies either a re gister address in one of the banks of d ata RAM ( Section 5.3.3 “General Purpose Register File”) or a location in the Access Bank (Section 5.3.2 “Access Bank”) as the data source for the instruction.
© 2008 Microchip Technology Inc. DS39646C-page 81
The Access RAM bit ‘a’ determines how the a ddre ss i s interpreted. When ‘a’ is ‘1’, the contents of the BSR (Section 5.3.1 “Bank Select Register (BSR)”) are used with the address t o determin e the comple te 12-bit address of the reg ister. When ‘a’ is ‘0’, the address is interpreted as being a register in the Access Bank. Addressing that uses the Access RAM is sometimes also known as Direct Forced Addressing mode.
A few instructions, such as MOVFF, include the entire 12-bit address (either source or destination) in their opcodes. In these cases, the BSR is ignored entirely.
The destination of the operati on’s results is determined by the destination bit ‘d ’. Wh en ‘d’ is ‘1’, the results are stored back in th e s o ur c e re g is ter, overw rit i n g i ts or i gi­nal contents. When ‘d’ is ‘0’, the results are stored in the W register. Instructions without the ‘d’ argument have a destin ation tha t is i mplicit in the inst ruction; their destination is either the target register being operated on or the W register.

5.4.3 INDIRECT ADDRESSING

Indirect Addressin g allows the u ser to access a l ocation in data memory without giving a fixed address in the instruction. This is done by using File Select Registers (FSRs) as pointers to the location s to be read or written to. Since the FSRs are themselves located in RAM as Specia l File Regi sters, the y can als o be di rectly mani p­ulated under program control. This makes FSRs very useful in imp lem ent ing data str uct ures , s uch as tabl es and arrays in data memory.
The registers for Indirect Addressing are also implemented with Indirect File Operands (INDFs) that permit automatic mani pulati on of the poi nter value with auto-incrementing, auto-decrementing or offsetting with another va lue . Th is al lo ws f or e fficient code, us ing loops, such as the example of clearing an entire RAM bank in Example5-5.

5.4.3.1 FSR Registers and the INDF Operand
At the core of Indirect Addressing are three sets of registers: FSR0, FSR1 and FSR2. Each represents a pair of 8-bit registers, FSRnH and FSRnL. The four upper bits of the FSRnH register are not used so each FSR pair holds a 12-bi t va lue. T his repre sen ts a val ue that can address the entire range of the data memory in a linear fashion. The FSR register pairs, then, serve as pointers to data memory locations.
Indirect Addressing is accomplished with a set of Indirect File Operands, INDF0 through INDF2. These can be thought of as “virtual” registers: they are mapped in the SFR space but are not physically imple­mented. Reading or writin g to a particular INDF reg ister actually accesses its corresponding FSR register pair. A read from INDF1, for example, reads the data at the address indi cated by FSR 1H:FSR1L. Instructi ons that use the IND F registers a s operands actu ally use the contents of th eir co rrespon ding FS R as a poin ter to th e instruction’s target. The INDF operand is just a convenient way of using the pointer.
Because Indirect Ad dressing uses a fu ll 12-bit addr ess, data RAM banking is not necessary. Thus, the current contents of the BSR and the Access RAM bit have no effect on determining the target address.
5.4.3.2 FSR Registers and POSTI NC, POSTDEC, PREINC and PLUSW
In addition to the IND F operand, eac h FSR register pair also has four additional indirect operands. Like INDF, these are “virtual” registers that cannot be indirectly read or written to. Accessing these registers actually accesses the associated FSR register pair, but also performs a specifi c action on it s stored v alue. They ar e:
• POSTDEC: accesses the FSR value, then
automatically decrements it by 1 afterwards
• POSTINC: accesses the FSR value, then
automatically increments it by 1 afterwards
• PREINC: increments the FSR value by 1, then
uses it in the operation
• PLUSW: adds the signed value of the W register
(range of -127 to 128) t o that of th e FSR and uses the new value in the operation.
In this context, accessing an INDF register uses the value in the FSR registers without changing them. Similarly, accessing a PLUSW register gives the FSR value offset by the valu e in the W register; neithe r value is actually changed in the operation. Accessing the other virtual registers changes the value of the FSR registers.
Operations on the FSRs with POSTDEC, POSTINC and PREINC affect the entire register pair; that is, roll­overs of the FSRnL register from FFh to 00h ca rry over to the FSRnH register. On the other hand, results of these operations do not change the value of any flags in the STATUS register (e.g., Z, N, OV, etc.).
FIGURE 5-8: INDIRECT ADDRESSING
DS39646C-page 82 © 2008 Microchip Technology Inc.
PIC18F8722 FAMILY
The PLUSW register can be used to implement a form of Indexed Addressing in the data memory space. By manipulating the value in the W register, users can reach addresses that are fixed offsets from pointer addresses. In some applications, this can be used to implement some powerful program control structure, such as software stacks, inside of data memory.
5.4.3.3 Operations by FSRs on FSRs
Indirect Addressing operations that target other FSRs or virtual registers represent special cases. For exam­ple, using an FSR to point to on e of the virtual regis ters will not result in successful operations. As a specific case, assume that FSR0H:FSR0L contains FE7h, the address of INDF1. Attempts to read the value of the INDF1 using INDF0 as an operand will return 00h. Attempts to write to INDF1 using I NDF0 as the operan d will result in a NOP.
On the other ha nd, u sing the v irtual reg isters to w rite to an FSR pair may n ot oc cur as plan ned. I n t hese cases , the value will be written to the FSR p air bu t withou t an y incrementing or decrementing. Thus, writing to INDF2 or POSTDEC2 will write the same value to the FSR2H:FSR2L.
Since the FSRs are physical registers mapped in the SFR space, they can be manipulated through all direct operations. Users should proceed cautiously when working on these registers, particularly if their code uses Indirect Addressing.
Similarly, operations by Indirect Addressing are gener­ally permitted on all other SFRs. U sers shoul d exercise the appropriate caution that they do not inadvertently change settings that might affect the operation of the device.

5.5 Data Memory and the Extended Instruction Set

Enabling the PIC18 extended instruction set (XINST Configuration bit = 1) significantly changes certain aspects of data memory and its addressing. Specifi­cally, the use of the Access Bank for many of the core PIC18 instructions is different; this is due to the introduction of a new addressing mode for the data memory space.
What does not change is just as im po rtant. The size of the data memory space is unchanged, as well as its linear addressing. The SFR map remains the same. Core PIC18 instructions can still operate in both Direct and Indirect Addressing mode; inherent and literal instructions do not change at all. Indirect Addressing with FSR0 and FSR1 also remain unchanged.

5.5.1 INDEXED ADDRESSING WITH LITERAL OFFSET

Enabling the PIC18 extended instruction set changes the behavior of Indirect Addressing using the FSR2 register pair within Access RAM. Under the proper conditions, instruc tions that us e the Access Ban k – that is, most bit-oriented and byte-oriented instructions – can invoke a form of Indexed Addressing using an offset specified in the in structi on. Thi s spe cial a ddress ­ing mode is known as Indexed Addressing with Literal Offset, or Indexed Literal Offset mode.
When using the extended instruction set, this addressing mode requires the following:
• The use of the Access Ban k i s forced (‘a’ = 0) and
• The file address arg um ent is less than or e qua l to
5Fh.
Under these conditions, the file address of the instruc­tion is not interpreted as the lower byte of an address (used with the BSR in Direct Addres sing), or as an 8-bit address in the Access Bank. Instead, the value is interpreted as an offset value to an address pointer, specified by FSR2. The offset and the contents of FSR2 are added to obtain the target address of the operation.

5.5.2 INSTRUCTIONS AFFECTED BY INDEXED LITERAL OFFSET MODE

Any of the core PIC18 instructions that can use Direct Addressing are potentially affected by the Indexed Literal Offset Addressing mode. This includes all byte-oriented and bit-oriented instructions, or almost one-half of the standard PIC18 instruction set. Instructions that onl y use Inherent or Literal Addr essing modes are unaffecte d.
Additionally, byte-oriented and bit-oriented instructions are not affected if they do not use the Access Bank (Access RAM bit is ‘1’), or include a fi le ad dres s of 60 h or above. Instructions meeting these criteria will continue to execute as be fore. A comp aris on of the di f­ferent possible addressing modes when the extended instruction set is enabled in shown in Figure 5-9.
Those who desire to use byte-oriented or bit-oriented instructions in the Indexed Literal Offset mode should note the changes to assembler syntax for this mode. This is described in more detail in Section 26.2.1 “Extended Instruction Syntax”.

EXAMPLE INSTRUCTION: ADDWF, f, d, a (Opcode: 0010 01da ffff ffff)
When ‘a’ = 0 and f 60h:
The instruction executes in Direct Forced mode. ‘f’ is inter­preted as a location in the Access RAM between 060h and 0FFh. This is the sam e as locations 060h to 07Fh (Bank 0) and F80h to FFFh (Bank 15) of data memory.
Locations below 60h are not available in this addressing mode.
When ‘a’ = 0 and f ≤ 5Fh:
The instruction executes in Indexed Literal Offset mode. ‘f’ is interpreted as an offset to the address value in FSR2. The two are added together to obtain the address of the target register for the instruction. The address can be anywhere in the data memory space.
Note that in this mode, the correct syntax is now:
ADDWF [k], d
where ‘k’ is the same as ‘f’.
When ‘a’ = 1 (all values of f):
The instruction executes in Direct mode (also known as Direct Long mode). ‘f’ is inter­preted as a location in one of the 16 banks of the data memory space. The bank is designated by the Bank Sel ect Register (BSR). The address can be in any implemented bank in the data memory space.

5.5.3 MAPPING THE ACCESS BANK IN INDEXED LITERAL OFFSET MODE

The use of Indexed Literal Offset Addressing mode effectively chan ges how the first 96 locati ons of Access RAM (00h to 5Fh) are m ap ped . R at her tha n c on taining just the contents of the bottom half of Bank 0, this mode maps the contents from Bank 0 and a user defined “window” that can be located anywhere in the data memory space. The value of FSR2 establishes the lower boundary of the addresses mapped into the window, while the upper boundary is defined by FSR2 plus 95 (5Fh). Addresses in the Access RAM above
Remapping of the Access Bank applies only to opera­tions using the I ndexed Lite ral Offs et mode. Ope rations that use the BSR (Access RAM bit is ‘1’) will continue to use Direct Addressing as before.

5.6 PIC18 Instruction Execution and the Extended Instruction Set

Enabling the extended instruction set adds eight additional commands to the existing PIC18 instruction set. These instructions are executed as described in Section 26.2 “Extended Instruction Set”.
5Fh are mapped as previously described (see Section 5.3.2 “Access Ban k”). An example of Access Bank remapping in this addressing mode is shown in Figure 5-10.

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 64 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.
Writing or erasing program memory will cease instruction fetches 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 progra m memory does not nee d to be a valid instruction. Executing a program memory location that forms an invalid instruction results in a NOP.
DD

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 sp ace and the dat a RAM:
• Table Read (TBLRD)
• Table Write (TBLWT)
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 the data RAM space. Figure 6-1 shows the operation of a table read with program memory and data RAM.
Table write opera tions s tor e data from t he da ta memo ry 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 “Writin g to Flash Program Memory”. Figure6-2 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 t able write is being used to write executable code into program memory, program instructions will need to be word aligned.

The EECON1 register (Register 6-1) is the control register for memory acce sses. The EECO N2 register is not a physical register; it is used exclusively in the memory write and erase sequences. Reading EECON2 will read all ‘0’s.
The EEPGD control bit determines if th e access will be a program or data EEPROM memory access. When clear, any subsequent operations will operate on the data EEPROM memory. When set, any subsequent operations will operate on the program memory.
The CFGS control bit determines if the access will be to the Configuration/C alib ration re giste rs or to pro gram memory/data EEPROM memory. When set, subsequent operations will operate on Configuration
registers regardless of EEPGD (see Section 25.0 “Special Featur es of the CPU”). When clear , memor y selection access is determined by EEPGD.
The FREE bit, when set, will allow a program memory erase operation. When FREE is set, the erase operation is initiated on the next WR command. When FREE is clear , only wr ite s are enab led .
The WREN bit, when set, will allow a write operation. On power-up, the WREN bit is c lear . The WRERR bit is set in hardware when the WR bit is set and cleared when the internal programming timer expires and the write operation is complete.
Note: During normal operation, the WRERR is
read as ‘1’. This can indicate that a write operation was prematurely terminated by a Reset, or a write operation was attempted improperly.
The WR control bit initiates write operations. The bit cannot be cleared, only set, in software; it is cleared in hardware at the completion of the write operation.
Note: The EEIF interrupt flag bit (PIR2<4>) 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 register 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 Poin ter (T BLPTR ) re gis ter add res se s 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 po inter. The low-o rder 21 bits allow the device to address up to 2 Mbytes of program memory sp ace. Th e 22nd b it allow s acce ss to the device ID, the user ID and the Configuration bits.
The Table Pointer register, TBLPTR, is used by the TBLRD and TBLWT instructi ons . T hes e i ns truc tio ns ca n update the TBLPTR in one of four ways based on the table operation. These operations are shown in T abl e 6-1. These op erations on the TBLPT R only af fect 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, al l 22 bits of th e T BLPT R determine which byte is read from program memory into TABL AT.
When a TBLWT is executed, the six LSbs of the Table Pointer register (TBLPTR<5:0>) determine which of the 64 program memory holding registers is written to. When the timed write to program memory begins (via the WR bit), the 16 MSbs of the TBLPTR (TBLPTR<21:6>) determine which program memory block of 64 bytes is written to. 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 register (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 places it into data RAM. Table reads from program memory are pe rformed one by te at a time.
TBLPTR poi nts to a byte address in pro gram space. Executing TBLRD places the byte pointed to into TABLAT. In addition, TBLPTR can be modified automatically for the next table read operation.
The internal program memory is typically organize d by words. The Least Sig nificant b it of th e 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.

6.4 Erasing Flash Program Memory

The minimum eras e block is 32 wo rds or 64 b ytes. Only through the use of an external programmer, or through ICSP control, can larger blocks of program memory be bulk erased. Word erase in the Flash array is not supported.
When initiating an erase sequence from the micro­controller itself, a blo ck of 64 bytes of program memo ry 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 comma nds the erase operation. The EEPGD bit must be set to point to the Flash program memory. The WREN bit must be set to enable write operations. The F REE bit is set to select an erase operation.
For protection, the wri te i ni tiat e s equ enc e f or EECO N2 must be used.
A long write is nec essa ry for erasin g the i nternal Flash. Instruction execution is halted while in a long write

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 register 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 for
TIW (see parameter D1 33 A).
8. Re-enable interrupts.
cycle. The long write will be terminated by the internal programming timer.

6.5 Writing to Flash Program Memory

The minimum programming block is 32 words or 64 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 64 holding registers used by the table writes for programming.
Since the Table Latch (TABLAT) is only a single byte, the TBLWT instruction may need to be executed 64 times for each programming operation. All of the t able w rite ope r­ations will essentially be short writes because only the holding registers are written. At the end of updating the 64 holding registers, the EECON1 register must be written to in order to start the programming operation with a long write.
The long write is necessary for programming the inter­nal Flash. Instruc tion exe cution is halted wh ile in a long write cycle. The long write will be terminated by the internal programming timer.
The EEPROM on-chip timer controls the write time. The write/erase voltages are generated by an on-chip charge pump, rated to operate over the voltage range of the device.
Note: The default value of the holding registers on
device Resets and aft er write op eratio ns is FFh. A write of FFh to a holding register does not modify that byte. T his mea ns th at individual bytes of program memory may be modified, provided that the change does not attempt to change any bi t from a ‘0’ to a ‘1’. When modifying individual bytes, it is not necessary to load all 64 holding registers before executing a write ope ration.

FIGURE 6-5: TABLE WRITES TO FLASH PROGRAM MEMORY

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 register with address being
erased.
4. Execute the row erase procedure.
5. Load Table Pointer register with address of first
byte being written.
6. Write the 64 bytes into the ho lding regis ters wi th
auto-increment.
7. Set the EECON1 register for the write operatio n:
• set EEPGD bit to point to program memory;
• clear the CFGS bit to access program memory;
• set WREN to enable byte writes.
© 2008 Microchip Technology Inc. DS39646C-page 93
8. Disable interrupts.
9. Write 55h to EECON2.
10. Write 0AAh to EECON2. 1 1. Set the WR bit. This will begin the write cycl e.
12. The CPU will stall for duration of the write for T (see parameter D133A).
13. Re-enable interrupts.
14. Verify the memory (table read).
An example of the required code is shown in Example 6- 3 on the following page.
Note: Before setting the WR bit, the Table
Pointer address needs to be within the intended address range of the 64 bytes in the holding register.

6.5.2 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.

If a write is termin ate d b y a n u npl anned event, such as loss of power or an unexpected Reset, the memory location just pr ogrammed shou ld be verifi ed and repr o­grammed if needed. If the wr ite operatio n is interrupte d by a MCLR normal operation, the user can check the WRERR bit and rewrite the location(s) as needed.

7.0 EXTERNAL MEMORY BUS

Note: The External Memory Bus is not imple-
mented on PIC18F6527/6622/6627/6722 (64-pin) devices.
The External Memory Bus (EMB) allows the device to access external memory devices (such as Flash, EPROM, SRAM , etc.) as pro gram or data mem ory. It supports both 8-bit and 16-bit Data Width modes and four address widths from 8 to 20 bits.
The bus is implemented with 28 pins, multiplexed across four I/O ports. Three ports (PORTD, PORTE and PORTH) are m ultiplexed with th e address/dat a bus for a total of 20 available lines, while PORTJ is multiplexed with the bus cont rol sig nal s.
A list of the pins and their functions is provided in Table 7-1.

7.1 External Memory Bus Control

The operation of the interface is controlled by the MEMCON register (Register 7-1). This register is available in all program memory operating modes except Microcontrol le r mode. In this mode, the reg is ter is disabled and cannot be written to.
The EBDIS bit (MEMCON<7>) controls the operation of the bus and related port functions. Clearing EBDIS enables the interface and disables the I/O functions of the ports, as well as any other functions multiplexed to those pins. Setting the bit enables the I/O ports and other functions but allows the interface to override everything else on the pins when an external memory operation i s required. By def ault, the external bus is always enabled and disables all other I/O.
The operation of the EBDIS bit is also influenc ed by the program memory mode being used. This is discussed in more detail in Section 7.4 “Program Memory Modes and the External Memory Bus”.
The WAIT bits allow for the addition of wait states to external memory operations. The use of these bits is discussed in Section 7.3 “Wait States”.
The WM bits select th e p artic ular ope rating m ode use d when the bu s is o peratin g in 16 -bit D ata Width mode. These are discussed in more detail in Section 7.5 “16-Bit Data Width Modes”. Thes e bits have no ef fect when an 8-bit Data Width mode is selected.
