PIC16C84
1.0GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The PIC16C84 is a low-cost, high-performance,
CMOS, fully-static, 8-bit microcontroller.
All PIC16/17 microcontrollers employ an advanced
RISC architecture. PIC16CXX devices have enhanced
core features, eight-le vel deep stack, and multiple internal and external interrupt sources. The separate
instruction and data buses of the Harvard architecture
allow a 14-bit wide instruction word with a separate
8-bit wide data bus. The two stage instruction pipeline
allows all instructions to execute in a single cycle,
except for program branches (which require two
cycles). A total of 35 instructions (reduced instruction
set) are available. Additionally, a large register set is
used to achieve a very high performance level.
PIC16CXX microcontrollers typically achieve a 2:1
code compression and up to a 2:1 speed improvement
(at 10 MHz) over other 8-bit microcontrollers in their
class.
The PIC16C84 has 36 bytes of RAM, 64 bytes of Data
EEPROM memory, and 13 I/O pins. A timer/counter is
also available.
The PIC16CXX family has special features to reduce
external components, thus reducing cost, enhancing
system reliability and reducing power consumption.
There are four oscillator options, of which the single pin
RC oscillator provides a low-cost solution, the LP
oscillator minimizes power consumption, XT is a
standard crystal, and the HS is for High Speed crystals.
The SLEEP (power-down) mode offers power savings.
The user can wake the chip from sleep through sev er al
external and internal interrupts and resets.
A highly reliable Watchdog Timer with its own on-chip
RC oscillator provides protection against software lockup.
The PIC16C84 EEPROM program memory allows the
same device package to be used for prototyping and
production. In-circuit reprogrammability allows the
code to be updated without the device being removed
from the end application. This is useful in the
development of many applications where the device
may not be easily accessible, but the prototypes may
require code updates. This is also useful for remote
applications where the code may need to be updated
(such as rate information).
Table 1-1 lists the features of the PIC16C84. A simplified block diagram of the PIC16C84 is shown in
Figure 3-1.
The PIC16C84 fits perfectly in applications ranging
from high speed automotive and appliance motor
control to low-power remote sensors, electronic locks,
security devices and smart cards. The EEPROM
technology makes customization of application
programs (transmitter codes, motor speeds, receiver
frequencies, security codes, etc.) extremely fast and
convenient. The small footprint packages make this
microcontroller series perfect for all applications with
space limitations. Low cost, low power, high
performance, ease of use and I/O flexibility make the
PIC16C84 very versatile even in areas where no
microcontroller use has been considered before
(e.g., timer functions, serial communication, capture
and compare, PWM functions and co-processor
applications).
The serial in-system programming feature (via two
pins) offers flexibility of customizing the product after
complete assembly and testing. This feature can be
used to serialize a product, store calibration data, or
program the device with the current firmware before
shipping.
1.1F
Those users familiar with the PIC16C5X family of
microcontrollers will realize that this is an enhanced
version of the PIC16C5X architecture. Please refer to
Appendix A for a detailed list of enhancements. Code
written for PIC16C5X can be easily ported to the
PIC16C84 (Appendix B).
1.2De
The PIC16CXX family is supported by a full-featured
macro assembler, a software simulator, an in-circuit
emulator, a low-cost development programmer and a
full-featured programmer. A “C” compiler and fuzzy
logic support tools are also available.

PIC16C84
3.0ARCHITECTURAL OVERVIEW
The high performance of the PIC16CXX family can be
attributed to a number of architectural features
commonly found in RISC microprocessors. To begin
with, the PIC16CXX uses a Harvard architecture. This
architecture has the program and data accessed from
separate memories. So the device has a program
memory bus and a data memory bus. This improves
bandwidth over traditional von Neumann architecture
where program and data are fetched from the same
memory (accesses over the same bus). Separating
program and data memory further allows instructions
to be sized differently than the 8-bit wide data word.
PIC16CXX opcodes are 14-bits wide, enabling single
word instructions. The full 14-bit wide program memory
bus fetches a 14-bit instruction in a single cycle. A twostage pipeline overlaps fetch and execution of instructions (Example 3-1). Consequently , all instructions e xecute in a single cycle (400 ns @ 10 MHz) except for
program branches.
The PIC16C84 addresses 1K x 14 program memory.
All program memory is internal.
PIC16CXX devices can directly or indirectly address its
register files or data memory. All special function
registers including the program counter are mapped in
the data memory. An orthogonal (symmetrical)
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 PIC16CXX
simple yet efficient. In addition, the learning curve is
reduced significantly.
The PIC16C84 has 36 x 8 SRAM and 64 x 8 EEPROM
data memory.
PIC16CXX devices contain an 8-bit ALU and working
register. The ALU is a general pur pose ar ithmetic 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 working register
(W register), and the other operand is 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 working 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 borro
respectively, in subtraction. See the SUBLW and SUBWF
instructions for examples.
A simplified block diagram for the PIC16C84 is shown
in Figure 3-1, its corresponding pin description is
shown in Table 3-1.

3.1Clocking Scheme/Instruction Cycle
The clock input (from OSC1) is internally divided by
four to generate four non-overlapping quadrature
clocks namely Q1, Q2, Q3 and Q4. Internally, the
program counter (PC) is incremented every Q1, the
instruction is fetched from the program memory and
latched into the instruction register in Q4. The
instruction is decoded and executed during the
following Q1 through Q4. The clocks and instruction
execution flow is shown in Figure 3-2.

3.2Instruction Flow/Pipelining
An “Instruction Cycle” consists of four Q cycles (Q1,
Q2, Q3 and Q4). The instruction fetch and execute are
pipelined such that fetch takes one instruction cycle
while decode and execute takes another instruction
cycle. However, due to the pipelining, each instruction
effectively executes in one cycle. If an instruction
causes the program counter to change (e.g., GOTO )
then two cycles are required to complete the instruction
(Example 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” 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).

4.0MEMORY ORGANIZATION
There are two memory blocks in the PIC16C84. These
are the program memory and the data memory. Each
block has its own b us, so that access to each b lock can
occur during the same oscillator cycle.
The data memory can further be broken down into the
general purpose RAM and the Special Function
Registers (SFRs). The operation of the SFRs that
control the “core” are described here. The SFRs used
to control the peripheral modules are described in the
section discussing each individual peripheral module.
The data memory area also contains the data
EEPROM memory . This memory is not directly mapped
into the data memory, but is indirectly mapped. That is
an indirect address pointer specifies the address of the
data EEPROM memory to read/write. The 64 bytes of
data EEPROM memory have the address range
0h-3Fh. More details on the EEPROM memory can be
found in Section 7.0.
4.1Pr
The PIC16CXX has a 13-bit program counter capable
of addressing an 8K x 14 program memory space. For
the PIC16C84, only the first 1K x 14 (0000h-03FFh) are
physically implemented (Figure 4-1). Accessing a location above the physically implemented address will
cause a wraparound. For example, locations 20h,
420h, 820h, C20h, 1020h, 1420h, 1820h, and 1C20h
will be the same instruction.
The reset vector is at 0000h and the interrupt vector is
at 0004h.

4.2Data Memory Organization
The data memory is partitioned into two areas. The first
is the Special Function Registers (SFR) area, while the
second is the General Purpose Registers (GPR) area.
The SFRs control the operation of the device.
Portions of data memory are banked. This is for both
the SFR area and the GPR area. The GPR area is
banked to allow greater than 116 bytes of general
purpose RAM. The banked areas of the SFR are f or the
registers that control the peripheral functions. Banking
requires the use of control bits for bank selection.
These control bits are located in the STATUS Register.
Figure 4-2 shows the data memory map organization.
Instructions MOVWF and MOVF can move values from the
W register to any location in the register file (“F”), and
vice-versa.
The entire data memory can be accessed either
directly using the absolute address of each register file
or indirectly through the File Select Register (FSR)
(Section 4.5). Indirect addressing uses the present
value of the RP1:RP0 bits for access into the banked
areas of data memory.
Data memory is partitioned into two banks which
contain the general purpose registers and the special
function registers. Bank 0 is selected by clearing the
RP0 bit (STATUS<5>). Setting the RP0 bit selects
Bank 1. Each Bank extends up to 7Fh (128 bytes). The
first twelve locations of each Bank are reserved for the
Special Function Registers. The remainder are General Purpose Registers implemented as static RAM.

4.2.1GENERAL PURPOSE REGISTER FILE
All devices have some amount of General Purpose
Register (GPR) area. Each GPR is 8 bits wide and is
accessed either directly or indirectly through the FSR
(Section 4.5).
The GPR addresses in bank 1 are mapped to
addresses in bank 0. As an example, addressing location 0Ch or 8Ch will access the same GPR.
4.2.2SPECIAL FUNCTION REGISTERS
The Special Function Registers (Figure 4-2 and
Table 4-1) are used by the CPU and Peripheral
functions to control the device operation. These
registers are static RAM.
The special function registers can be classified into two
sets, core and peripheral. Those associated with the
core functions are described in this section. Those
related to the operation of the peripheral features are
described in the section for that specific feature.

PIC16C84
4.2.2.1STATUS REGISTER
The STATUS register contains the arithmetic status of
the ALU, the RESET status and the bank select bit for
data memory.
As with any register, the STATUS register can be the
destination for any instruction. If the STA TUS 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 device logic.
Furthermore, the T
Therefore, the result of an instruction with the STATUS
register as destination may be different than intended.
For example, CLRF STATUS will clear the upper-three
bits and set the Z bit. This leaves the STATUS register
as 000u u1uu (where u = unchanged).
O and PD bits are not writable.
Only the BCF, BSF, SWAPF and MOVWF instructions
should be used to alter the ST ATUS register (T ab le 9-2)
because these instructions do not affect any status bit.

4.3Program Counter: PCL and PCLATH
The Program Counter (PC) is 13-bits wide. The low
byte is the PCL register, which is a readable and
writable register. The high byte of the PC (PC<12:8>) is
not directly readable nor writable and comes from the
PCLATH register . The PCLATH (PC latch high) register
is a holding register for PC<12:8>. The contents of
PCLATH are transferred to the upper byte of the
program counter when the PC is loaded with a new
value. This occurs during a CALL, GOTO or a wr ite to
PCL. The high bits of PC are loaded from PCLATH as
shown in Figure 4-6.

4.3.1COMPUTED GOTO
A computed GOT O is accomplished b y adding an offset
to the program counter (ADDWF PCL). When doing a
table read using a computed GOTO method, care
should be exercised if the table location crosses a PCL
memory boundary (each 256 word block). Refer to the
application note
“Implementing a Table Read”

ALU result
GOTO, CALL
Opcode <10:0>
(AN556).
Note:The PIC16C84 ignores the PCLATH<4:3>
bits, which are used for program memory
pages 1, 2 and 3 (0800h - 1FFFh). The use
of PCLATH<4:3> as general purpose R/W
bits is not recommended since this may
affect upward compatibility with future
products.
4.4Stack
The PIC16C84 has an 8 deep x 13-bit wide hardware
stack (Figure 4-1). The stack space is not part of either
program or data space and the stack pointer is not
readable or writable.
The entire 13-bit PC is “pushed” onto the stack when a
CALL instruction is executed or an interrupt is acknowledged. The stack is “popped” in the ev ent of a RETURN,RETLW or a RETFIE instruction execution. PCLATH is
not affected by a push or a pop operation.
Note:There are no instruction mnemonics called
push or pop. These are actions that occur
from the execution of the CALL, RETURN,RETLW, and RETFIE instructions, or the
vectoring to an interrupt address.
The stack operates as a circular buffer. That is, after the
stack has been pushed eight times, the ninth push ov erwrites the value that was stored from the first push. The
tenth push overwrites the second push (and so on).
If the stack is effectively popped nine times, the PC
value is the same as the value from the first pop.
Note:There are no status bits to indicate stack
overflow or stack underflow conditions.
4.3.2PROGRAM MEMORY PAGING
The PIC16C84 has 1K of program memory. The CALL
and GOTO instructions have an 11-bit address range.
This 11-bit address range allows a branch within a 2K
program memory page size. For future PIC16CXX
program memory expansion, there must be another
two bits to specify the program memory page. These
paging bits come from the PCLATH<4:3> bits
(Figure 4-6). When doing a CALL or a GOTO instruction,
the user must ensure that these page bits
(PCLATH<4:3>) are programmed to the desired
program memory page. If a CALL instruction (or
interrupt) is executed, the entire 13-bit PC is “pushed”
onto the stack (see next section). Therefore, manipulation of the PCLATH<4:3> is not required for the return
instructions (which “pops” the PC from the stack).

4.5Indirect 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 05 contains the value 10h
• Register file 06 contains the value 0Ah
• Load the value 05 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 = 06)
• A read of the INDF register now will return the
value of 0Ah.
Reading INDF itself indirectly (FSR = 0) will produce
00h. Writing to the INDF register indirectly results in a
no-operation (although STATUS bits may be affected).

PIC16C84
5.0I/O PORTS
The PIC16C84 has two ports, PORTA and PORTB.
Some port pins are multiplexed with an alternate function for other features on the device.
5.1PORTA and TRISA Registers
PORTA is a 5-bit wide latch. RA4 is a Schmitt Trigger
input and an open drain output. All other RA port pins
have TTL input levels and full CMOS output drivers. All
pins have data direction bits (TRIS registers) which can
configure these pins as output or input.
Setting a TRISA bit (=1) will make the corresponding
PORTA pin an input, i.e., put the corresponding output
driver in a hi-impedance mode. Clearing a TRISA bit
(=0) will make the corresponding PORTA pin an output,
i.e., put the contents of the output latch on the selected
pin.
Reading the PORTA register reads the status of the pins
whereas writing to it will write to the port latch. All write
operations are read-modify-write operations. So a write
to a port implies that the port pins are first read, then this
value is modified and written to the port data latch.
The RA4 pin is multiplexed with the TMR0 clock input.

5.2 PORTB and TRISB Registers
PORTB is an 8-bit wide bi-directional port. The
corresponding data direction register is TRISB. A '1' on
any bit in the TRISB register puts the corresponding
output driver in a hi-impedance mode. A '0' on any bit
in the TRISB register puts the contents of the output
latch on the selected pin(s).
Each of the PORTB pins have a weak internal pull-up.
A single control bit can turn on all the pull-ups. This is
done by clearing the RBPU
(OPTION_REG<7>) bit.
The weak pull-up is automatically turned off when the
port pin is configured as an output. The pull-ups are
disabled on a Power-on Reset.
Four of PORTB’s pins, RB7:RB4, have an interrupt on
change feature. Only pins configured as inputs can
cause this interrupt to occur (i.e., any RB7:RB4 pin
configured as an output is excluded from the interrupt
on change comparison). The pins value in input mode
are compared with the old value latched on the last
read of PORTB. The “mismatch” outputs of the pins are
OR’ed together to generate the RB port
change interrupt.

This interrupt can wake the device from SLEEP. The
user, in the interrupt service routine, can clear the
interrupt in the following manner:
a) Read (or write) PORTB. This will end the mis-
match condition.
b) Clear flag bit RBIF.
A mismatch condition will continue to set the RBIF bit.
Reading PORTB will end the mismatch condition, and
allow the RBIF bit to be cleared.
This interrupt on mismatch feature, together with
software configurable pull-ups on these four pins allow
easy interface to a key pad and make it possible for
wake-up on key-depression (see AN552 in the
Embedded Control Handbook).
Note 1: If a change on the I/O pin should occur
when a read operation of PORTB is being
executed (start of the Q2 cycle), the RBIF
interrupt flag bit may not be set.
The interrupt on change feature is recommended for
wake-up on key depression operation and operations
where PORTB is only used for the interrupt on change
feature. Polling of PORTB is not recommended while
using the interrupt on change feature.

5.3I/O Programming Considerations
5.3.1BI-DIRECTIONAL I/O PORTS
Any instruction which writes, operates internally as a
read followed by a write operation. The BCF and BSF
instructions, for example, read the register into the
CPU, ex ecute the bit operation and write the result back
to the register. Caution must be used when these
instructions are applied to a port with both inputs and
outputs defined. For example, a BSF operation on bit5
of PORTB will cause all eight bits of PORTB to be read
into the CPU. Then the BSF operation takes place on
bit5 and PORTB is written to the output latches. If
another bit of PORTB is used as a bi-directional I/O pin
(i.e., 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 rewritten 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 is unknown.
Reading the port register, reads the values of the port
pins. Writing to the port register writes the value to the
port latch. When using read-modify-write instructions
(i.e., BCF, BSF , etc.) on a port, the value of the port pins
is read, the desired operation is done to this value, and
this value is then written to the port latch.
A pin actively outputting a Low or High should not be
driven from external devices at the same time in order
to change the level on this pin (“wired-or”, “wired-and”).
The resulting high output current may damage the chip.
5.3.2SUCCESSIVE OPERATIONS ON I/O PORTS
The actual write to an I/O port happens at the end of an
instruction cycle, whereas for reading, the data must be
valid at the beginning of the instruction cycle (Figure 5-
5). Therefore , care must be e x ercised if a write follo wed
by a read operation is carried out on the same I/O port.
The sequence of instructions should be such that the
pin voltage stabilizes (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.
Example 5-1 shows the effect of two sequential readmodify-write instructions (e.g., BCF, BSF, etc.) on an
I/O port.

6.0TIMER0 MODULE AND TMR0
REGISTER
The Timer0 module timer/counter has the following
features:
• 8-bit timer/counter
• Readable and writable
• 8-bit software programmable prescaler
• Internal or external clock select
• Interrupt on overflow from FFh to 00h
• Edge select for external clock
Timer mode is selected by clearing the T0CS bit
(OPTION<5>). In timer mode, the Timer0 module
(Figure 6-1) will increment every instruction cycle
(without prescaler). If the TMR0 register is written, the
increment is inhibited for the following two cycles
(Figure 6-2 and Figure 6-3). The user can w ork 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 TMR0 will increment either
on every rising or falling edge of pin RA4/T0CKI. The
incrementing edge is determined by the T0 source
FIGURE 6-1:TMR0 BLOCK DIAGRAM
edge select bit, T0SE (OPTION<4>). Clearing bit T0SE
selects the rising edge. Restrictions on the external
clock input are discussed in detail in Section 6.2.
The prescaler is shared between the Timer0 Module
and the Watchdog Timer. The prescaler assignment is
controlled, in software, by control bit PSA
(OPTION<3>). Clearing bit PSA will assign the
prescaler to the Timer0 Module. The prescaler is not
readable or writable. When the prescaler (Section 6.3)
is assigned to the Timer0 Module, the prescale value
(1:2, 1:4, ..., 1:256) is software selectable.
6.1TMR0 Interrupt
The TMR0 interrupt is generated when the TMR0
register overflows from FFh to 00h. This overflow sets
the T0IF bit (INTCON<2>). The interrupt can be
masked by clearing enable bit T0IE (INTCON<5>). The
T0IF bit must be cleared in software by the Timer0
Module interrupt service routine before re-enabling this
interrupt. The TMR0 interrupt (Figure 6-4) cannot wake
the processor from SLEEP since the timer is shut off
during SLEEP.

PIC16C84
6.2Using TMR0 with External Clock
When an external clock input is used for TMR0, 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 the TMR0 register after
synchronization.
6.2.1EXTERNAL CLOCK SYNCHRONIZATION
When no prescaler is used, the external clock input is
the same as the prescaler output. The synchronization
of pin RA4/T0CKI with the internal phase clocks is
accomplished by sampling the prescaler output on the
Q2 and Q4 cycles of the internal phase clocks
(Figure 6-5). Therefore, it is necessary for T0CKI to be
high for at least 2Tosc (plus a small RC delay) and low
for at least 2Tosc (plus a small RC delay). Refer to the
electrical specification of the desired device.
When a prescaler is used, the external clock input is
divided by an 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 4Tosc (plus a small RC delay) divided
by the prescaler value. The only requirement on T0CKI
high and low time is that they do not violate the
minimum pulse width requirement of 10 ns. Refer to
parameters 40, 41 and 42 in the AC Electrical
Specifications of the desired device.
OSC)
6.2.2TMR0 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. Figure 6-5 shows the
delay from the external clock edge to the timer
incrementing.
6.3Prescaler
An 8-bit counter is available as a prescaler for the
Timer0 Module, or as a postscaler for the Watchdog
Timer (Figure 6-6). For simplicity, this counter is being
referred to as “prescaler” throughout this data sheet.
Note that there is only one prescaler available which is
mutually exclusive betw een the Timer0 Module and the
Watchdog Timer . Thus, a prescaler assignment for the
Timer0 Module means that there is no prescaler for the
Watchdog Timer , and vice-versa.
The PSA and PS2:PS0 bits (OPTION<3:0>) determine
the prescaler assignment and prescale ratio.
When assigned to the Timer0 Module, all instructions
writing to the Timer0 Module (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 Watchdog Timer. The
prescaler is not readable or writable.

6.3.1SWITCHING PRESCALER ASSIGNMENT
The prescaler assignment is fully under software
control (i.e., it can be changed “on the fly” during
program execution).
Note:To avoid an unintended de vice RESET, the
following instruction sequence
(Example 6-1) must be executed when
changing the prescaler assignment from
Timer0 to the WDT. This sequence m ust be
taken even if the WDT is disabled. To
change prescaler from the WDT to the
Timer0 module use the sequence shown in
Example 6-2.

7.0DATA EEPROM MEMORY
The EEPROM data memory is readable and writable
during normal operation (full V
is not directly mapped in the register file space. Instead
it is indirectly addressed through the Special Function
Registers. There are four SFRs used to read and write
this memory. These registers are:
• EECON1
• EECON2
• EEDATA
• EEADR
EEDATA holds the 8-bit data for read/write, and EEADR
holds the address of the EEPROM location being
accessed. PIC16C84 devices have 64 bytes of data
EEPROM with an address range from 0h to 3Fh.
The EEPROM data memory allows byte read and write.
A byte write automatically erases the location and
writes the new data (erase before write). The EEPR OM
data memory is rated for high erase/write cycles. The
write time is controlled by an on-chip timer. The writetime will vary with voltage and temperature as well as
from chip to chip. Please refer to AC specifications for
exact limits.
DD range). This memory
When the device is code protected, the CPU may
continue to read and write the data EEPROM memory .
The device programmer can no longer access
this memory.
7.1EEADR
The EEADR register can address up to a maximum of
256 bytes of data EEPROM. Only the first 64 bytes of
data EEPROM are implemented.
The upper two bits are address decoded. This means
that these two bits must always be '0' to ensure that the
address is in the 64 byte memory space.

7.2EECON1 and EECON2 Registers
EECON1 is the control register with five low order bits
physically implemented. The upper-three bits are nonexistent and read as '0's.
Control bits RD and WR initiate read and write,
respectively. These bits cannot be cleared, only set, in
software. They are cleared in hardware at completion of
the read or write operation. The inability to clear the WR
bit in software prevents the accidental, premature termination of a write operation.
The WREN bit, when set, will allow a write operation.
On power-up, the WREN bit is clear. The WRERR bit is
set when a write operation is interrupted by a MCLR
reset or a WDT time-out reset during normal operation.
In these situations, following reset, the user can check
the WRERR bit and rewrite the location. The data and
address will be unchanged in the EEDATA and
EEADR registers.
Interrupt flag bit EEIF is set when write is complete. It
must be cleared in software.
EECON2 is not a physical register. Reading EECON2
will read all '0's. The EECON2 register is used
exclusively in the Data EEPROM write sequence.
7.3Reading the EEPROM Data Memory
To read a data memory location, the user must write
the address to the EEADR register and then set control
bit RD (EECON1<0>). The data is av ailable , in the v ery
next cycle, in the EEDATA register; therefore it can be
read in the next instruction. EED AT A will hold this v alue
until another read or until it is written to by the user
(during a write operation).

BCF STATUS, RP0 ; Bank 0
MOVLW CONFIG_ADDR ;
MOVWF EEADR ; Address to read
BSF STATUS, RP0 ; Bank 1
BSF EECON1, RD ; EE Read
BCF STATUS, RP0 ; Bank 0
MOVF EEDATA, W ; W = EEDATA
7.4Writing to the EEPROM Data Memory
To write an EEPROM data location, the user must first
write the address to the EEADR register and the data
to the EEDATA register. Then the user must follow a
specific sequence to initiate the write for each byte.
EXAMPLE 7-1:DATA EEPROM WRITE
BSF STATUS, RP0 ; Bank 1
BCF INTCON, GIE ; Disable INTs.
BSF EECON1, WREN ; Enable Write
MOVLW 55h ;
MOVWF EECON2 ; Write 55h
MOVLW AAh ;
MOVWF EECON2 ; Write AAh
BSF EECON1,WR ; Set WR bit
; begin write
Required
Sequence
BSF INTCON, GIE ; Enable INTs.
The write will not initiate if the above sequence is not
exactly followed (write 55h to EECON2, write AAh to
EECON2, then set WR bit) for each byte. We strongly
recommend that interrupts be disabled during this
code segment.
Additionally, the WREN bit in EECON1 must be set to
enable write. This mechanism prevents accidental
writes to data EEPROM due to errant (unexpected)
code execution (i.e., lost programs). The user should
keep the WREN bit clear at all times, except when
updating EEPROM. The WREN bit is not cleared
by hardware
After a write sequence has been initiated, clearing the
WREN bit will not affect this write cycle. The WR bit will
be inhibited from being set unless the WREN bit is set.
At the completion of the write cycle, the WR bit is
cleared in hardware and the EE Write Complete
Interrupt Flag bit (EEIF) is set. The user can either
enable this interrupt or poll this bit. EEIF must be
cleared by software.
Note:The data EEPROM memory E/W cycle
time may occasionally exceed the 10 ms
specification (typical). To ensure that the
write cycle is complete, use the EE
interrupt or poll the WR bit (EECON1<1>).
Both these events signify the completion of
the write cycle.

PIC16C84
7.5Write Verify
Depending on the application, good programming
practice may dictate that the value written to the Data
EEPROM should be verified (Example 7-1) to the
desired value to be written. This should be used in
applications where an EEPROM bit will be stressed
near the specification limit. The Total Endurance disk
will help determine your comfort level.
Generally the EEPROM write failure will be a bit which
was written as a '1', but reads back as a '0' (due to
leakage off the bit).

7.6Protection Against Spurious Writes
There are conditions when the device may not want to
write to the data EEPROM memory. To protect against
spurious EEPROM writes, various mechanisms have
been built in. On power-up, WREN is cleared. Also, the
Pow er-up Timer (72 ms duration) prevents
EEPROM write.
The write initiate sequence and the WREN bit together
help prevent an accidental write during brown-out,
power glitch, or software malfunction.
7.7Data EEPROM Operation during Code
Protect
When the device is code protected, the CPU is able to
read and write unscrambled data to the Data
EEPROM.
For ROM devices, there are two code protection bits
(Section 8.1). One for the ROM program memory and
one for the Data EEPROM memory.
7.8Power Consumption Considerations
Note:It is recommended that the EEADR<7:6>
bits be cleared. When either of these bits is
set, the maximum I
higher than when both are cleared. The
specification is 400 µA. With EEADR<7:6>
cleared, the maximum is approximately
150 µA.

PIC16C84
8.0SPECIAL FEATURES OF THE
CPU
What sets a microcontroller apart from other
processors are special circuits to deal with the needs of
real time applications. The PIC16C84 has a host of
such features intended to maximize system reliability,
minimize cost through elimination of external
components, provide power saving operating modes
and offer code protection. These features are:
• OSC selection
• Reset
- Power-on Reset (POR)
- Power-up Timer (PWRT)
- Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST)
• Interrupts
• Watchdog Timer (WDT)
• SLEEP
• Code protection
• ID locations
• In-circuit serial programming
The PIC16C84 has a Watchdog Timer which can be
shut off only through configuration bits. It runs off its
own RC oscillator for added reliability. There are two
timers that offer necessary delays on power-up. One is
the Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST), intended to keep
the chip in reset until the crystal oscillator is stable. The
other is the Pow er-up Timer (PWRT), which provides a
fixed delay of 72 ms (nominal) on power-up only. This
design keeps the device in reset while the pow er supply
stabilizes. With these two timers on-chip, most
applications need no external reset circuitry.
SLEEP mode offers a very low current power-down
mode. The user can wake-up from SLEEP through
external reset, Watchdog Timer time-out or through an
interrupt. Several oscillator options are provided to
allow the part to fit the application. The RC oscillator
option saves system cost while the LP crystal option
saves power. A set of configuration bits are used to
select the various options.
8.1Configuration Bits
The configuration bits can be programmed (read as '0')
or left unprogrammed (read as '1') to select various
device configurations. These bits are mapped in
program memory location 2007h.
Address 2007h is beyond the user program memory
space and it belongs to the special test/configuration
memory space (2000h - 3FFFh). This space can only
be accessed during programming.
8.2.1 OSCILLATOR TYPES
The PIC16C84 can be operated in four different
oscillator modes. The user can program two
configuration bits (FOSC1 and FOSC0) to select one of
these four modes:
• LPLow Power Crystal
• XTCrystal/Resonator
• HSHigh Speed Crystal/Resonator
• RCResistor/Capacitor
8.2.2CRYSTAL OSCILLATOR / CERAMIC
RESONATORS
In XT, LP or HS modes a crystal or ceramic resonator
is connected to the OSC1/CLKIN and OSC2/CLKOUT
pins to establish oscillation (Figure 8-2).

The PIC16C84 oscillator design requires the use of a

a frequency out of the crystal manufacturers
specifications. When in XT , LP or HS modes , the device
can have an external clock source to drive the OSC1/
CLKIN pin (Figure 8-3).

Either a prepackaged oscillator can be used or a simple
oscillator circuit with TTL gates can be built.
Prepackaged oscillators provide a wide operating
range and better stability. A well-designed crystal
oscillator will provide good performance with TTL
gates. Two types of crystal oscillator circuits are
available; one with series resonance, and one with
parallel resonance.
Figure 8-4 shows a parallel resonant oscillator circuit.
The circuit is designed to use the fundamental
frequency of the crystal. The 74AS04 in verter performs
the 180-degree phase shift that a parallel oscillator
requires. The 4.7 kΩ resistor provides negative
feedback for stability. The 10 kΩ potentiometer biases
the 74AS04 in the linear region. This could be used for
external oscillator designs.

8.2.4RC OSCILLATOR
For timing insensitive applications the RC de vice option
offers additional cost savings. The RC oscillator
frequency is a function of the supply voltage, the
resistor (Rext) values, capacitor (Cext) values, and the
operating temperature. In addition to this, the oscillator
frequency will vary from unit to unit due to normal
process parameter variation. Furthermore, the
difference in lead frame capacitance between package
types also affects the oscillation frequency, especially
for low Cext values. The user needs to take into
account variation due to tolerance of the external
R and C components. Figure 8-6 shows how an R/C
combination is connected to the PIC16C84. For Rext
values below 2.2 kΩ, the oscillator operation may
become unstable, or stop completely. For very high
Rext values (e.g., 1 MΩ), the oscillator becomes
sensitive to noise, humidity and leakage. Thus, we
recommend keeping Rext between 3 kΩ and 100 kΩ.
Although the oscillator will operate with no external
capacitor (Cext = 0 pF), we recommend using values
above 20 pF for noise and stability reasons. With little
or no external capacitance, the oscillation frequency
can vary dramatically due to changes in external
capacitances, such as PCB trace capacitance or
package lead frame capacitance.
See the electrical specification section for RC
frequency variation from part to part due to normal
process variation. The variation is larger for larger R
(since leakage current variation will affect RC
frequency more for large R) and for smaller C (since
variation of input capacitance has a greater affect on
RC frequency).
See the electrical specification section for variation of
oscillator frequency due to V
DD for given Rext/Cext
values as well as frequency variation due to
operating temperature.
The oscillator frequency, divided by 4, is available on
the OSC2/CLKOUT pin, and can be used for test
purposes or to synchronize other logic (see Figure 3-2
for waveform).

8.3Reset
Some registers are not affected in any reset condition;
their status is unknown on a POR reset and unchanged
The PIC16C84 differentiates between various kinds
of reset:
• Power-on Reset (POR)
• MCLR
• MCLR
reset during normal operation
reset during SLEEP
• WDT Reset (during normal operation)
• WDT Wake-up (during SLEEP)

chip reset circuit. The electrical specifications state the
pulse width requirements for the MCLR
pin.

“reset state” on POR, MCLR
normal operation and on MCLR
They are not affected by a WDT reset during SLEEP,
since this reset is viewed as the resumption of normal
operation.
Table 8-3 gives a description of reset conditions for the
program counter (PC) and the STATUS register.
Table 8-4 gives a full description of reset states for all
registers.
The T
O and PD bits are set or cleared differently in different reset situations (Section 8.7). These bits are
used in software to determine the nature of the reset.

8.4Power-on Reset (POR)
A Power-on Reset pulse is generated on-chip when
V
DD rise is detected (in the range of 1.2V - 1.7V). To
take advantage of the POR, just tie the MCLR
directly (or through a resistor) to V
DD. This will eliminate
pin
external RC components usually needed to create
Power-on Reset. A minimum rise time for V
DD must be
met for this to operate properly. See Electrical Specifications for details.
When the device starts normal operation (exits the
reset condition), device operating parameters (v oltage ,
frequency, temperature, ...) must be meet to ensure
operation. If these conditions are not met, the device
must be held in reset until the operating conditions
are met.
For additional information, refer to Application Note
AN607,
Power-up Trouble Shooting

The POR circuit does not produce an internal reset
when V
DD declines.
8.5 Power-up Timer (PWRT)
The Power-up Timer (PWRT) provides a fixed 72 ms
nominal time-out (T
Figure 8-10, Figure 8-11 and Figure 8-12). The Powerup Timer operates on an internal RC oscillator. The
chip is kept in reset as long as the PWRT is active . The
PWRT delay allows the V
level (Possible exception shown in Figure 8-12).
A configuration bit, PWRTE, can enable/disable the

The Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) provides a 1024

PWRT delay ends (Figure 8-9, Figure 8-10, Figure 811 and Figure 8-12). This ensures the crystal oscillator

On power-up (Figure 8-9, Figure 8-10, Figure 8-11 and

PWRT time-out is invoked after a POR has expired.
Then the OST is activated. The total time-out will vary
based on oscillator configuration and PWRTE

the PWRT disabled, there will be no time-out at all.

8.8Reset on Brown-Out
A brown-out is a condition where device power (VDD)
dips below its minimum value, b ut not to z ero , and then
recovers. The device should be reset in the event of a
brown-out.
To reset PIC16C84 devices when a brown-out occurs,
external brown-out protection circuits may be built, as
shown in Figure 8-13 and Figure 8-14.

8.9Interrupts
The PIC16C84 has 4 sources of interrupt:
• External interrupt RB0/INT pin
• TMR0 overflow interrupt
• PORTB change interrupts (pins RB7:RB4)
• EEPROM write complete interrupt
The interrupt control register (INTCON) records
individual interrupt requests in flag bits. It also contains
the individual and global interrupt enable bits.
The global interrupt enable bit, GIE (INTCON<7>)
enables (if set) all un-masked interrupts or disables (if
cleared) all interrupts. Individual interrupts can be
disabled through their corresponding enable bits in
INTCON register. Bit GIE is cleared on reset.
The “return from interrupt” instruction, RETFIE, exits
interrupt routine as well as sets the GIE bit, which reenable interrupts.
The RB0/INT pin interrupt, the RB port change interrupt and the TMR0 overflow interrupt flags are contained in the INTCON register.
When an interrupt is responded to; the GIE bit is
cleared to disable any further interrupt, the return
address is pushed onto the stack and the PC is loaded
with 0004h. For external interrupt events, such as the
RB0/INT pin or PORTB change interrupt, the interrupt
latency will be three to four instruction cycles. The exact
latency depends when the interrupt event occurs
(Figure 8-16). The latency is the same for both one and
two cycle instructions. Once in the interrupt service
routine the source(s) of the interrupt can be determined
by polling the interrupt flag bits. The interrupt flag bit(s)
must be cleared in software before re-enabling
interrupts to avoid infinite interrupt requests.
Note 1: Individual interrupt flag bits are set
regardless of the status of their
corresponding mask bit or the GIE bit.
Note 2: If an interrupt occurs while the Global
Interrupt Enable (GIE) bit is being cleared,
the GIE bit may unintentionally be
re-enabled by the user’s Interrupt Service
Routine (the RETFIE instruction). The
events that would cause this to occur are:
1. An instruction clears the GIE bit while
an interrupt is acknowledged
2. The program branches to the
Interrupt vector and executes the
Interrupt Service Routine.
3. The Interrupt Service Routine
completes with the execution of the
RETFIE instruction. This causes the
GIE bit to be set (enables interrupts),
and the program returns to the
instruction after the one which was
meant to disable interrupts.
The method to ensure that interrupts are
globally disabled is:
1. Ensure that the GIE bit is cleared by
the instruction, as shown in the
following code:

8.9.1INT INTERRUPT
External interrupt on RB0/INT pin is edge triggered:
either rising if INTEDG bit (OPTION_REG<6>) is set,
or falling, if INTEDG bit is clear. When a valid edge
appears on the RB0/INT pin, the INTF bit
(INTCON<1>) is set. This interrupt can be disabled by
clearing control bit INTE (INTCON<4>). Flag bit INTF
must be cleared in software via the interrupt service
routine before re-enabling this interrupt. The INT
interrupt can wake the processor from SLEEP
(Section 8.12) only if the INTE bit was set prior to going
into SLEEP. The status of the GIE bit decides whether
the processor branches to the interrupt vector
following wake-up.
8.9.2TMR0 INTERRUPT
An overflow (FFh → 00h) in TMR0 will set flag bit T0IF
(INTCON<2>). The interrupt can be enabled/disabled
by setting/clearing enable bit T0IE (INTCON<5>)
(Section 6.0).
8.9.3PORT RB INTERRUPT
An input change on PORTB<7:4> sets flag bit RBIF
(INTCON<0>). The interrupt can be enabled/disabled
by setting/clearing enable bit RBIE (INTCON<3>)
(Section 5.2).
8.10Context Saving During Interrupts
During an interrupt, only the return PC value is saved
on the stack. Typically, users wish to save key register
values during an interrupt (e.g., W register and STA TUS
register). This is implemented in software.
Example 8-1 stores and restores the STATUS and W
register’s v alues. The User defined registers, W_TEMP
and STATUS_TEMP are the temporary storage
locations for the W and STATUS registers values.
Example 8-1 does the following:
a) Stores the W register.
b) Stores the STATUS register in STATUS_TEMP.
c) Executes the Interrupt Service Routine code.
d) Restores the STATUS (and bank select bit)
register.
e) Restores the W register.
Note 1: If a change on an I/O pin should occur
when a read operation of PORTB is being
executed (start of the Q2 cycle), the RBIF
interrupt flag bit may not get set.

part (see DC specs). If longer time-out periods are
desired, a prescaler with a division ratio of up to 1:128
The Watchdog Timer is a free running on-chip RC
oscillator which does not require any external
components. This RC oscillator is separate from the
RC oscillator of the OSC1/CLKIN pin. That means that
the WDT will run even if the clock on the OSC1/CLKIN
and OSC2/CLKOUT pins of the device has been
stopped, for example, by execution of a SLEEP
instruction. During normal operation a WDT time-out
generates a device RESET. If the device is in SLEEP
mode, a WDT Wake-up causes the device to wake-up
and continue with normal operation. The WDT can be
permanently disabled by programming configuration bit
WDTE as a '0' (Section 8.1).
8.11.1WDT PERIOD
The WDT has a nominal time-out period of 18 ms, (with

writing to the OPTION_REG register. Thus, time-out
periods up to 2.3 seconds can be realized.
The CLRWDT and SLEEP instructions clear the WDT and

from timing out and generating a device
RESET condition.

8.12Power-down Mode (SLEEP)
A device may be powered down (SLEEP) and later
powered up (Wake-up from SLEEP).
8.12.1SLEEP
The Power-down mode is entered by executing the
SLEEP instruction.
If enabled, the Watchdog Timer is cleared (but keeps
running), the PD
(ST ATUS<4>) is set, and the oscillator driver is turned
off. The I/O ports maintain the status they had before
the SLEEP instruction was executed (driving high, low,
or hi-impedance).
For the lowest current consumption in SLEEP mode,
place all I/O pins at either at V
external circuitry drawing current from the I/O pins, and
disable external clocks. I/O pins that are hi-impedance
inputs should be pulled high or low externally to avoid
switching currents caused by floating inputs. The
T0CKI input should also be at V

8.12.2WAKE-UP FROM SLEEP
The device can wake-up from SLEEP through one of
the following events:
1. External reset input on MCLR
pin.
2. WDT Wake-up (if WDT was enabled).
3. Interrupt from RB0/INT pin, RB por t change, or
data EEPROM write complete.
Peripherals cannot generate interrupts during SLEEP,
since no on-chip Q clocks are present.
The first event (MCLR
reset) will cause a device reset.
The two latter events are considered a continuation of
program ex ecution. The T

invoked. The T
O bit is cleared if a WDT time-out
occurred (and caused wake-up).
While the SLEEP instruction is being executed, the ne xt
instruction (PC + 1) is pre-fetched. For the device to
wake-up through an interrupt event, the corresponding
interrupt enable bit must be set (enabled). Wake-up
occurs regardless of the state of the GIE bit. If the GIE
bit is clear (disabled), the device continues e xecution at
the instruction after the SLEEP instruction. If the GIE bit
is set (enabled), the device executes the instruction
after the SLEEP instruction and then branches to the
interrupt address (0004h). In cases where the
execution of the instruction following SLEEP is not
desirable, the user should have a NOP after the
SLEEP instruction.

8.12.3WAKE-UP USING INTERRUPTS
When global interrupts are disabled (GIE cleared) and
any interrupt source has both its interrupt enable bit
and interrupt flag bit set, one of the following will occur:
• If the interrupt occurs before the execution of a
SLEEP instruction, the SLEEP instruction will
complete as a NOP. Therefore, the WDT and WDT
postscaler will not be cleared, the T
be set and PD
bits will not be cleared.
O bit will not
• If the interrupt occurs during or after the execution of a SLEEP instruction, the device will immediately wake up from sleep . The SLEEP
instruction will be completely executed before the
wake-up. Therefore, the WDT and WDT
postscaler will be cleared, the T
and the PD
bit will be cleared.
O bit will be set
Even if the flag bits were checked before executing a
SLEEP instruction, it may be possible for flag bits to
become set before the SLEEP instruction completes.
To determine whether a SLEEP instruction executed,
test the PD
bit. If the PD bit is set, the SLEEP instruc-
tion was executed as a NOP.
To ensure that the WDT is cleared, a CLR WDT instruc-
tion should be executed before a SLEEP instruction.
8.13Program Verification/Code Protection
If the code protection bit(s) have not been
programmed, the on-chip program memory can be
read out for verification purposes.
Note:Microchip does not recommend code pro-
tecting windowed devices..
8.14ID Locations
Four memory locations (2000h - 2003h) are designated
as ID locations to store checksum or other code
identification numbers. These locations are not
accessible during normal execution but are readable
and writable only during program/verify. Only the
4 least significant bits of ID location are usable.
For ROM devices, these values are submitted along
with the ROM code.
8.15 In-Circuit Serial Programming
PIC16C84 microcontrollers can be serially
programmed while in the end application circuit. This is
simply done with two lines for clock and data, and three
other lines for power, ground, and the programming
voltage. Customers can manufacture boards with
unprogrammed devices, and then program the
microcontroller just before shipping the product,
allowing the most recent firmware or custom firmware
to be programmed.
The device is placed into a program/verify mode by
holding the RB6 and RB7 pins low, while raising the
MCLR
pin from VIL to VIHH (see
Memory Programming Specification
PIC16C84 EEPROM
(DS30189)). RB6
becomes the programming clock and RB7 becomes
the programming data. Both RB6 and RB7 are Schmitt
Trigger inputs in this mode.
After reset, to place the device into programming/verify
mode, the program counter (PC) points to location 00h.
A 6-bit command is then supplied to the device, 14-bits
of program data is then supplied to or from the device,
using load or read-type instructions. For complete
details of serial programming, please refer to the
cuit Serial Programming Guide
(DS30277).
In-Cir-
For ROM de vices, both the program memory and Data
EEPROM memory may be read, but only the Data
EEPROM memory may be programmed.

9.0INSTRUCTION SET SUMMARY
Each PIC16CXX instruction is a 14-bit word divided
into an OPCODE which specifies the instruction type
and one or more operands which further specify the
operation of the instruction. The PIC16CXX instruction
set summary in Table 9-2 lists byte-oriented, bit-ori-ented, and literal and control operations. Table 9-1
shows the opcode field descriptions.
For byte-oriented instructions, 'f' represents a file register designator and 'd' represents a destination designator. The file register designator specifies which file
register is to be used by the instruction.
The destination designator specifies where the result of
the operation is to be placed. If 'd' is zero, the result is
placed in the W register . If 'd' is one , the result is placed
in the file register specified in the instruction.
For bit-oriented instructions, 'b' represents a bit field
designator which selects the number of the bit affected
by the operation, while 'f' represents the number of the
file in which the bit is located.
For literal and control operations, 'k' represents an
eight or eleven bit constant or literal value.

The instruction set is highly orthogonal and is grouped
into three basic categories:
• Byte-oriented operations
• Bit-oriented operations
• Literal and control operations
All instructions are executed within one single instruc-
tion cycle, unless a conditional test is true or the program counter is changed as a result of an instruction.
In this case, the execution takes two instruction cycles
with the second cycle executed as a NOP. One instruction cycle consists of four oscillator periods. Thus, for
an oscillator frequency of 4 MHz, the normal instruction
execution time is 1 µs . If a conditional test is true or the
program counter is changed as a result of an instruction, the instruction execution time is 2 µs.
Table 9-2 lists the instructions recognized by the
MPASM assembler.
Figure 9-1 shows the general formats that the instructions can have.
Note:To maintain upward compatibility with
future PIC16CXX products, do not use
the
OPTION and TRIS instructions.
All examples use the following format to represent a
hexadecimal number:
0xhh
where h signifies a hexadecimal digit.

The graphs and tables provided in this section are for design guidance and are not tested or guaranteed.
In some graphs or tables, the data presented are outside specified operating range (i.e., outside specified V
range). This is for information only and devices are guaranteed to operate properly only within the specified range.
The data presented in this section is a statistical summary of data collected on units from different lots over a period
of time and matrix samples. 'Typical' represents the mean of the distribution at 25°C, while 'max' or 'min' represents
(mean + 3σ) and (mean - 3σ) respectively, where σ is standard deviation.

and the operating current of the Watchdog Timer logic which increases with lower temperature. At -40°C, the latter

PIC16C84
APPENDIX A: FEATURE
IMPROVEMENTS FROM PIC16C5X TO
PIC16C84
The following is the list of feature improvements over
the PIC16C5X microcontroller family:
1. Instruction word length is increased to 14 bits.
This allows larger page sizes both in program
memory (2K now as opposed to 512 before) and
the register file (128 bytes now versus 32 bytes
before).
2. A PC latch register (PCLATH) is added to handle
program memory paging. PA2, PA1 and P A0 bits
are removed from the status register and placed
in the option register.
3. Data memor y paging is redefined slightly. The
STATUS register is modified.
4. Four new instructions have been added:
RETURN, RETFIE, ADDLW, and SUBLW. Two
instructions, TRIS and OPTION, are being
phased out although they are kept for
compatibility with PIC16C5X.
5. OPTION and TRIS registers are made
addressable.
6. Interrupt capability is added. Interrupt vector is
at 0004h.
7. Stack size is increased to 8 deep.
8. Reset vector is changed to 0000h.
9. Reset of all registers is revisited. Five different
reset (and wake-up) types are recognized.
Registers are reset differently.
10. Wake up from SLEEP through interrupt is
added.
11. Two separate timers, the Oscillator Start-up
Timer (OST) and Power-up Timer (PWRT), are
included for more reliable power-up. These
timers are invoked selectively to avoid
unnecessary delays on power-up and wake-up.
12. PORTB has weak pull-ups and interrupt on
change features.
13. T0CKI pin is also a port pin (RA4/T0CKI).
14. FSR is a full 8-bit register.
15. "In system programming" is made possible. The
user can program PIC16CXX devices using only
five pins: V
(data in/out).
DD, VSS, VPP, RB6 (clock) and RB7
APPENDIX B: CODE COMPATIBILITY
- FROM PIC16C5X TO
PIC16C84
To convert code written for PIC16C5X to PIC16C84,
the user should take the following steps:
1. Remove any program memory page select
operations (PA2, PA1, PA0 bits) for CALL, GOTO .
2. Revisit any computed jump operations (write to
PC or add to PC, etc.) to make sure page bits
are set properly under the new scheme.
3. Eliminate any data memory page switching.
Redefine data variables for reallocation.
4. Verify all writes to STATUS, OPTION, and FSR
registers since these have changed.
5. Change reset vector to 0000h.
