PIC12C5XX

1.0 GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The PIC12C5XX from Microchip Technolog y is a f am­ily of low-cost, high performance, 8-bit, fully static, EEPROM/EPROM/ROM-based CMOS microcontrol­lers. It employs a RISC architecture with only 33 sin­gle word/single cycle instructions. All instructions are single cycle (1 µs) except for program branches which take two cycles. The PIC12C5XX delivers per­formance an order of magnitude higher than its com­petitors in the same price category. The 12-bit wide instructions are highly symmetrical resulting in 2:1 code compression over other 8-bit microcontrollers in its class. The easy to use and easy to remember instruction set reduces development time signifi­cantly.
The PIC12C5XX products are equipped with speci al features that reduce system cost and power require­ments. The Power-On Reset (POR) and Device Reset Timer (DRT) eliminate the need for external reset cir­cuitry. There are four oscillator configurations to choose from, including INTRC internal oscillator mode and the power-saving LP (Low Power) oscillator mode. Power saving SLEEP mode, Watchdog Timer and code protection features also improve system cost, power and reliability.
The PIC12C5XX are available in the cost-effective One-Time-Programmable (OTP) versions which are suitable for production in any volume. The customer
can take full advantage of Microchip’s price leadership in OTP microcontrollers while benefiting from the OTP’s flexibility.
The PIC12C5XX products are supported by a full-fea­tured macro assembler, a software simulator, an in-cir­cuit emulator, a ‘C’ compiler, fuzzy logic support tools, a low-cost development programmer, and a full fea­tured programmer. All the tools are supported on IBM PC and compatible machines.

1.1 Applications

The PIC12C5XX series fits perfectly in applications ranging from personal care appliances and security systems to low-power remote transmitters/receivers. The EPROM technology makes customizing applica­tion programs (transmitter codes, appliance settings, receiver frequencies, etc.) extremely fast and conve­nient, while the EEPROM data memory technology allows for the changing of calibration factors and secu­rity codes. The small footprint packages, for through hole or surface mounting, make this microcontroller series perfect for applications with space limitations. Low-cost, low-power, high performance, ease of use and I/O flexibility make the PIC12C5XX series very ver­satile even in areas where no microcon troller use has been considered before (e.g., timer functions, replace­ment of “glue” logic and PLD’s in larger systems, copro­cessor applications).

3.0 ARCHITECTURAL OVERVIEW

The high performance of the PIC12C5XX family can be attributed to a number of architectural features commonly found in RISC microprocessors. To begin with, the PIC12C5XX uses a Har vard architecture in which program and data are accessed on separate buses. This improves bandwidth over traditional von Neumann architecture where program and data are fetched on the same bus. Separating program and data memory further allows instructions to be sized differently than the 8-bit wide data word. Instruction opcodes are 12-bits wide making it possible to have all single word instructions. A 12-bit wide program memory access bus fetches a 12-bit instruction in a single cycle. A two-stage pipeline overlaps fetch and execution of instructions. Consequently , all instructions (33) exe cut e in a si n gle cycl e (1 µs @ 4MHz) except f or program branches.
The table below lists program memory (EPROM), data memory (RAM), ROM memory, and non-volatile (EEPROM) for each device.

The PIC12C5XX can directly or indirectly address its register files and data memory. All special function registers including the program counter are mapped in the data memory. The PIC12C5XX has a highly orthogonal (symmetr ical) instruction set that makes it possible to carry out any operation on any register using any addressing mode. This symmetrical nature
and lack of ‘special optimal situations’ make programming with the PIC12C5XX simple yet efficient. In addition, the learning curve is reduced significantly.

Data
The PIC12C5XX device contains an 8-bit ALU and working register. The ALU is a general purpose arithmetic unit. It performs arithmetic and Boolean functions between data in the working register and any register file.
The ALU is 8-bits wide and capable of addition, subtraction, shift and logical operations. Unless otherwise mentioned, arithmetic operations are two's complement in nature. In two-operand instructions, typically one operand is the W (working) register. The other operand is either a file register or an immediate constant. In single operand instructions, the operand is either the W register or a file register.
The W register is an 8-bit wor king register used for ALU operations. It is not an addressable register.
Depending on the instruction executed, the ALU may affect the values of the Carry (C), Digit Carry (DC), and Zero (Z) bits in the STATUS register. The C and DC bits operate as a borrow
and digit borrow out bit, respectively , in subtraction. See the SUBWF and ADDWF instructions for examples.
A simplified block diagram is shown in Figure 3-1, with the corresponding device pins described in Table 3-1.

3.1 Clocking Scheme/Instruction Cycle

The clock input (OSC1/CLKIN pin) is internally divided by four to generate four non-overlapping quadrature clocks namely Q1, Q2, Q3 and Q4. Internally, the program counter is incremented every Q1, and the instruction is fetched from program memory and latched into instruction register in Q4. It is decoded and executed during the following Q1 through Q4. The clocks and instruction execution flow is shown in Figure 3-2 and Example 3-1.

3.2 Instruction Flow/Pipelining

An Instruction Cycle consists of four Q cycles (Q1, Q2, Q3 and Q4). The instruction fetch and execute are pipelined such that fetch takes one instruction cyc le while decode and execute takes another instruction cycle. However, due to the pipelining, each instruction effectively executes in one cycle. If an instruction causes the program counter to change (e.g., GOTO) then two cycles are required to complete the instruction (Example 3-1).
A fetch cycle begins with the program counter (PC) incrementing in Q1.
In the execution cycle, the fetched instruction is latched into the Instruction Register (IR) in cycle Q1. This instruction is then decoded and executed during the Q2, Q3, and Q4 cycles. Data memory is read during Q2 (operand read) and written during Q4 (destination write).

All instructions are single cycle, except for any program branches. These take two cycles since the fetch

4.0 MEMORY ORGANIZATION

PIC12C5XX memory is organized into program mem­ory and data memor y. For devices with more than 512 bytes of program memory, a paging scheme is used. Program memory pages are accessed using one STA­TUS register bit. For the PIC12C509, PIC12C509A, PICCR509A and PIC12CE519 with a data memory register file of more than 32 registers, a banking scheme is used. Data memory banks are accessed using the File Select Register (FSR).

4.1 Program Memory Organization

The PIC12C5XX devices have a 12-bit Program Counter (PC) capable of addressing a 2K x 12 program memory space.
Only the first 512 x 12 (0000h-01FFh) for the PIC12C508, PIC12C508A and PIC12CE518 and 1K x 12 (0000h-03FFh) for the PIC12C509, PIC12C509A, PIC12CR509A, and PIC12CE519 are physically implemented. Refer to Figure 4-1. Accessing a location above these boundaries will cause a wrap­around within the first 512 x 12 space (PIC12C508, PIC12C508A and PIC12CE518) or 1K x 12 space (PIC12C509, PIC12C509A, PIC12CR509A and PIC12CE519). The effective reset vector is at 000h, (see Figure 4-1). Location 01FFh (PIC12C508, PIC12C508A and PIC12CE518) or location 03FFh (PIC12C509, PIC12C509A, PIC12CR509A and PIC12CE519) contains the internal clock oscillator calibration value. This value should never be overwritten.

4.2 Data Memory Organization

Data memory is composed of registers, or bytes of RAM. Therefore, data memory for a device is specified by its register file. The register file is divided into two functional groups: special function registers and general purpose registers.
The special function registers include the TMR0 register, the Program Counter (PC), the Status Register, the I/O registers (ports), and the File Select Register (FSR). In addition, special pur pose registers are used to control the I/O port configuration and prescaler options.
The general purpose registers ar e used for data and control information under command of the instructions.

4.2.2 SPECIAL FUNCTION REGISTERS The Special Function Registers (SFRs) are registers

used by the CPU and peripheral functions to control the operation of the device (Table 4-1).
The special registers can be classified into two sets. The special function registers associated with the
“core” functions are described in this section. Tho se related to the operation of the per ipheral features are described in the section for each peripheral feature.

4.3 STATUS Register

This register contains the arithmetic status of the ALU, the RESET status, and the page preselect bit for program memories larger than 512 words.
The STATUS register can be the destination for any instruction, as with any other register. If the STATUS register is the destination for an instruction that affects the Z, DC or C bits, then the write to these three bits is disabled. These bits are set or cleared according to the device logic. Furtherm ore, the TO
and PD bits are
For example, CLRF STATUS will clear the upper three bits and set the Z bit. This leaves the STATUS register as 000u u1uu (where u = unchanged).
It is recommended, therefore, that only BCF, BSF and MOVWF instructions be used to alter the STATUS register because these instructions do not affect the Z, DC or C bits from the STATUS register. For other instructions, which do affect STATUS bits, see Instruction Set Summary.

4.5 OSCCAL Register

The Oscillator Calibration (OSCCAL) register is used to calibrate the internal 4 MHz oscillator. It contains four to six bits for calibration. Increasing the cal value increases the frequency. See Section 7.2.5 for more information on the internal oscillator.

4.6 Program Counter

As a program instruction is executed, the Program Counter (PC) will contain the address of the next program instruction to be executed. The PC value is increased by one every instruction cycle, unless an instruction changes the PC.
For a GOTO instructi on, bits 8:0 of th e PC ar e provided by the GOTO instruction word. The PC Latch ( PCL) is mapped to PC<7:0>. Bit 5 of the STATUS register provides page information to bit 9 of the PC ( Figure 4-
8). For a CALL instruction, or any instruction where the
PCL is the destination, bits 7:0 of the PC ag ain are provided by the instruction word. However, PC<8> does not come from the instruction word, but is always cleared (Figure 4-8).
Instructions where the PCL is the destination, or Modify PCL instructions, include MOVWF PC, ADDWF PC, and BSF PC,5.
Note: Because PC<8> is cleared in the CALL
instruction, or any Modify PCL instruction, all subroutine calls or computed jumps are limited to the first 256 locations of any pro­gram memory page (512 words long).

4.6.1 EFFECTS OF RESET The Program Counter is set upon a RESET, which

means that the PC addresses the l ast location in the last page i.e., the oscillator calibration instruction. After executing MOVLW XX, the PC will roll over to location 00h, and begin executing user code.
The STATUS register page preselect bits are cleared upon a RESET, which means that page 0 is pre­selected.
Therefore, upon a RESET, a GOTO instruction will automatically cause the program to jump to page 0 until the value of the page bits is altered.

4.7 Stack

PIC12C5XX devices have a 12-bit wide L.I.F.O. hardware push/pop stack.
A CALL instruction will 1 into stack 2 and then push the current program counter value, incremented by one, into stack level 1. If more than two sequential CALL’s are executed, only
the most recent two return addresses are stored. A RETLW instruction will
1 into the program counter and then copy stack level 2 contents into level 1. If more than two sequential RETLW’s are executed, the stack will be filled wi th the address previously stored in level 2. Note that the W register will be loaded with the literal value specified in the instruction. This is particularly useful for the implementation of data look-up tables within the program memory.
Upon any reset, the contents of the stack remain unchanged, however the program counter (PCL) will also be reset to 0.
Note 1: There are no STATUS bits to indicate
stack overflows or stack underflow condi­tions.
Note 2: There are no instructions mnemonics
called PUSH or POP. These are a ctions that occur from the execution of the CALL and RETLW instructions.

4.8 Indirect Data Addressing; INDF and FSR Registers

The INDF register is not a physical register. Addressing INDF actually addresses the register whose address is contained in the FSR register (FSR is a
pointer
). This is indirect addressing.
EXAMPLE 4-1: INDIRECT ADDRESSING
• Register file 07 contains the value 10h
• Register file 08 contains the value 0Ah
• Load the value 07 into the FSR register
• A read of the INDF register will return the value
of 10h
• Increment the value of the FSR register by one
(FSR = 08)
• A read of the INDR register now will retur n the
value of 0Ah.
Reading INDF itself indirectly (FSR = 0) will produce 00h. Writing to the IN DF register i ndirectly resul ts in a no-operation (although STATUS bits may be affected).
A simple program to clear RAM locations 10h-1Fh using indirect addressing is shown in Example 4-2.

5.0 I/O PORT

As with any other register, the I/O register can be written and read under program control. However, read instructions (e.g., MOVF GPIO,W) always read the I/O
pins independent of the pin’s input/output modes. On RESET, all I/O ports are defined as input (inputs are at hi-impedance) since the I/O control registers are all set. See Section 7.0 for SCL and SDA description for PIC12CE5XX.

5.1 GPIO

GPIO is an 8-bit I/O register. Only the low order 6 bits are used (GP5:GP0). Bits 7 and 6 are unimplemented and read as '0's. Please note that GP3 is an input only pin. The configuration word can set several I/O’s to alternate functions. When acting as alternate functions the pins will read as ‘0’ du ring port read. Pins GP0, GP1, and GP3 can be configured with weak pull-ups and also with wake-up on change. The wake-up on change and weak pull-up functions are not pin selectable. If pin 4 is configured as MCLR up is always on and wake-up on change for this pin is not enabled.

5.2 TRIS Register

The output driver control register is loaded with the contents of the W register by executing the TRIS f instruction. A '1' from a TRIS register bit puts the corresponding output driver in a hi-impedance mode. A '0' puts the contents of the output data latch on the selected pins, enabling the output buffer. The exceptions are GP3 which is input only and GP2 which may be controlled by the option register, see Figure 4-
5. Note: A read of the ports reads the pins, not the
output data latches. That is, if an output driver on a pin is enabled and driven high, but the external system is holding it low, a read of the port will indica te that th e pin is low.
The TRIS registers are “write-only” and are set (output drivers disabled) upon RESET.
, weak pull-

5.3 I/O Interfacing

The equivalent circuit for an I/O port pin is shown in Figure 5-1. All port pins, except GP3 which is input only, ma y be used for both input and output operations. For input operations these ports are non-latching. Any input must be present until read by an input instruction (e.g., MOVF GPIO,W). The outputs are latched and remain unchanged until the output latch is rewritten. To use a port pin as output, the corresponding direction control bit in TRIS must be cleared (= 0). For use as an input, the corresponding TRIS bit must be set. Any I/O pin (except GP3) can be programmed individually as input or output.

5.4 I/O Programming Considerations

5.4.1 BI-DIRECTIONAL I/O PORTS Some instructions operate inter nally as read followed

by write operations. The BCF and BSF instr uc tion s, for example, read the entire port into t he CPU, execute the bit operation and re-write the result. Caution must be used when these ins tructions are applied to a port where one or more pins are used as input/outputs. For example, a BSF operation on bit5 of GPIO will cause all eight bits of GPIO to be read into the CPU, bit5 to be set and the GPIO value to be written to the output latches. If another bit of GPIO is used as a bi­directional I/O pin (say bit0) and it is defined as an input at this time, the input signal present on the pin itself would be read into the CPU and rewritte n to the data latch of this particular pin, overwriting the previous content. As long as the pin stays in the input mode, no problem occurs. However, if bit0 is switched into output mode later on, the content of the data latch may now be unknown.
Example 5-1 shows the effect of two sequential read­modify-write instructions (e.g., BCF, BSF, etc.) on an I/O port.
A pin actively outputting a high or a low should not be driven from external devices at the same time in order
to change the level on this pin (“wired-or”, “wired­and”). The resulting high output currents may damage the chip.

5.4.2 SUCCESSIVE OPERATIONS ON I/O PORTS

The actual write to an I/O port ha ppens at the end of an instruction cycle, whereas for reading, the data must be valid at the beginning of the instruction cyc le (Figure 5-2). Therefore, care must be exercised if a write followed by a read operation is carried out on the same I/O port. The sequence of instructions should allow the pin voltage to stabilize (load dependent) before the next instruction, which causes that file to be read into the CPU, is executed. Otherwise, the previous state of that pin may be read into the CPU rather than the new state. When in doubt, it is better to separate these instructions with a NOP or another instruction not accessing this I/O port.

6.0 TIMER0 MODULE AND TMR0 REGISTER

The Timer0 module has the following features:
• 8-bit timer/counter register, TMR0
- Readable and writable
• 8-bit software programmable prescaler
• Internal or external clock select
- Edge select for external clock
Figure 6-1 is a simplified block diagram of the Timer0 module.
Timer mode is selected by clearing the T0CS bit (OPTION<5>). In timer mode, the Timer0 module wi ll increment every instruction cycle (without prescaler). If TMR0 register is written, the increment is inhibited for the following two instruction cycles (Figure 6-2 and Figure 6-3). The user can wor k around this by writing an adjusted value to the TMR0 register.

Counter mode is selected by setting the T0CS bit (OPTION<5>). In this mode, Timer0 will increment either on every rising or falling edge of pin T0CKI. The T0SE bit (OPTION<4>) determines the source edge. Clearing the T0SE bit selects the rising edge. Restrictions on the external clo ck input are discussed in detail in Section 6.1.
The prescaler may be used by either the Timer0 module or the Watchdog Timer, but not both. The prescaler assignment is controlled i n software by the control bit PSA (OPTION<3>). Clearing the PSA bit will assign the prescaler to Timer0. The prescaler is not readable or writable. When the prescaler is assigned to the Timer0 module, prescale values of 1:2, 1:4,..., 1:256 are selectable. Section 6.2 details the operation of the prescaler.
A summary of registers associated with the Timer0 module is found in Table 6-1.

6.1 Using Timer0 with an External Clock

When an external clock input is used for Timer0, it must meet certain requirements. The external clock requirement is due to internal phase clock (T synchronization. Also, there is a delay in the actual incrementing of Timer0 after synchronization.

6.1.1 EXTERNAL CLOCK SYNCHRONIZATION

When no prescaler is used, the external clock input is the same as the prescaler output. The synchronization of T0CKI with the internal phase clocks is accomplished by sampling the prescaler out put on the Q2 and Q4 cycles of the internal phase clocks (Figure 6-4). Therefore, it is necessary for T0CKI to be high for at least 2T and low for at least 2T
OSC (and a small RC delay of 20 ns)
OSC (and a small RC delay of
20 ns). Refer to the electrical specification of the desired device.
OSC)
When a prescaler is used, the external clock input is divided by the asynchronous ripple counter-type prescaler so that the prescaler output is symmetrical. For the external clock to meet the sampling requirement, the ripple counter must be taken into account. Therefore, it is necessary for T0CKI to have a period of at least 4T 40 ns) divided by the prescaler value. The only requirement on T0CKI high and low time i s that they do not violate the minimum pulse width requirement of 10 ns. Refer to parameters 40, 41 and 42 in the electrical specification of the desired device.

6.1.2 TIMER0 INCREMENT DELAY Since the prescaler output is synchronized with the

internal clocks, there is a small delay from the time the external clock edge occurs to the time the Timer0 module is actually incremented. F igure 6-4 shows the delay from the external clock edge to the timer incrementing.

6.1.3 OPTION REGISTER EFFECT ON GP2 TRIS If the option register is set to read TIMER0 from the pin,

the port is forced to an input regardless of the TRIS reg­ister setting.

6.2 Prescaler

An 8-bit counter is available as a prescaler for the Timer0 module, or as a postscaler for the Watchdog Timer (WDT), respectively (Section 8.6). For simplicity,
this counter is being referred to as “prescaler” throughout this data sheet. Note that the prescaler may be used by either the Timer0 module or the WDT, but not both. Thus, a prescaler assignment for the Timer0 module means that there is no prescaler for the WDT, and vice-versa.
The PSA and PS2:PS0 bits (OPTION<3:0>) determine prescaler assignment and prescale ratio.
When assigned to the Timer0 module, all instructions writing to the TMR0 register (e.g., CLRF 1, MOVWF 1, BSF 1,x, etc.) will clear the prescaler. When assigned to WDT, a CLRWDT instruction will clear the prescaler along with the WDT. The prescaler is neither readable nor writable. On a RESET, the prescaler contains all '0's.
EXAMPLE 6-1: CHANGING PRESCALER
1.CLRWDT ;Clear WDT
2.CLRF TMR0 ;Clear TMR0 & Prescaler
3.MOVLW '00xx1111’b ;T h e s e 3 lines ( 5 , 6 , 7 )
4.OPTION ; are required only if
5.CLRWDT ;PS<2:0> are 000 or 001
6.MOVLW '00xx1xxx’b ;Set Postscaler to
7.OPTION ; desired WDT rate
To change prescaler from the WDT to the Timer0 module, use the se quen ce s hown in Examp le 6-2. This sequence must be used even if the WDT is disabled. A CLRWDT instruction should be executed before switchin g t he pr es cal e r.
EXAMPLE 6-2: CHANGING PRESCALER
CLRWDT ;Clear WDT and
MOVLW 'xxxx0xxx' ;Select TMR0, new

6.2.1 SWITCHING PRESCALER ASSIGNMENT The prescaler assignment is fully under software control

OPTION
(i.e., it can be changed “on the fly” during program execution). To avoid an unintended d evice RESET, the following instruction sequence (Example 6-1) must be executed when changing the prescaler assignment from Timer0 to the WDT.

7.0 EEPROM PERIPHERAL OPERATION

This section applies to PIC12CE518 and PIC12CE519 only.
The PIC12CE518 and PIC12CE519 each have 16 bytes of EEPROM data memory. The EEPROM mem­ory has an endurance of 1,000,000 erase/write cycles and a data retention of greater than 40 years. The EEPROM data memory supports a bi-directional 2-wire bus and data transmission protocol. These two-wires are serial data (SDA) and serial clock (SCL), that are mapped to bit6 and bit7, respectively, of the GPIO reg­ister (SFR 06h). Unlike the GP0-GP5 tha t are con­nected to the I/O pins, SDA and SCL are only connected to the internal EEPROM peripheral. For most applications, all that is required is calls to th e fol­lowing functions:
; Byte_Write: Byte write routine ; Inputs: EEPROM Address EEADDR ; EEPROM Data EEDATA ; Outputs: Return 01 in W if OK, else return 00 in W ; ; Read_Current: Read EEPROM at address currently held by EE device. ; Inputs: NONE ; Outputs: EEPROM Data EEDATA ; Return 01 in W if OK, else return 00 in W ; ; Read_Random: Read EEPROM byte at supplied address ; Inputs: EEPROM Address EEADDR ; Outputs: EEPROM Data EEDATA ; Return 01 in W if OK,
else return 00 in W
The code for these functions is available on our website www.microchip.com. The code will be accessed by either including the source code FL51XINC.ASM or by linking FLASH5IX.ASM.
It is very important to check the return codes when using these calls, and retry the operation if unsuccess­ful. Unsuccessful return codes occur when the EE data memory is busy with the previous write, which can take up to 4 mS.

7.0.1 SERIAL DATA

SDA is a bi-directional pin used to transfer addresses and data into and data out of the device.
For normal data transfer SDA is allo wed to change only during SCL low. Changes during SCL high are reserved for indicating the START and STOP condi­tions.
The EEPROM interface is a 2-wire bus protocol con­sisting of data (SDA) and a clock (SCL). Although these lines are mapped into the GPIO register, they are not accessible as external pins; only to the internal EEPROM peripheral. SDA and SCL op eration is also slightly different than GPO-GP5 as listed below.
Namely, to avoid code overhead in modifying the TRIS register, both SDA and SCL are always outputs. To read data from the EEPROM peripheral requires out-
putting a ‘1’ on SDA placing it in high-Z state, where only the internal 100K pull-up is active on the SDA line.
SDA:
Built-in 100K (typical) pull-up to VDD Open-drain (pull-down only) Always an output Outputs a ‘1’ on reset
SCL:
Full CMOS output Always an output Outputs a ‘1’ on reset
The following example requires:
• Code Space: 77 words
• RAM Space: 5 bytes (4 are overlayable)
• Stack Levels:1 (The call to the function itself. The functions do not call any lower level functions.)
• Timing:
- WRITE_BYTE takes 328 cycles
- READ_CURRENT takes 212 cycles
- READ_RANDOM takes 416 cycles.
• IO Pins: 0 (No external IO pins are used)
This code must reside in the lower half of a page. The code achieves it’s small size without additional calls through the use of a sequencing table. The table is a list of procedures that must be called in order. The table uses an ADDWF PCL,F instruction, effectively a computed goto, to sequence to the next procedure. However the ADDWF PCL,F instruction yields an 8 bit address, forcing the code to reside in the first 256 addresses of a page.
