PIC16C84

1.0 GENERAL 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.
1.1 F
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).
1.2 De
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.

3.0 ARCHITECTURAL 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.

3.1 Clocking Scheme/Instruction Cycle

The clock input (from OSC1) is internally divided by four to generate four non-overlapping quadrature clocks namely Q1, Q2, Q3 and Q4. Internally, the program counter (PC) is incremented every Q1, the instruction is fetched from the program memory and latched into the instruction register 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.

3.2 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 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).

4.0 MEMORY 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.
4.1 Pr
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.

4.2 Data 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.

4.2.1 GENERAL 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.

4.2.2 SPECIAL 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.

4.2.2.1 STATUS 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.

4.3 Program 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.

4.3.1 COMPUTED 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”

(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.

4.4 Stack

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.

4.3.2 PROGRAM 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).

4.5 Indirect 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).

5.0 I/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.

5.1 PORTA 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.

5.3 I/O Programming Considerations

5.3.1 BI-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.

5.3.2 SUCCESSIVE 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.

6.0 TIMER0 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.

6.1 TMR0 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.

6.2 Using 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.

6.2.1 EXTERNAL 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)

6.2.2 TMR0 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.

6.3 Prescaler

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.

6.3.1 SWITCHING 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

7.0 DATA 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.

7.1 EEADR

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.

7.2 EECON1 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.

7.3 Reading 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).
EXAMPLE 7-1: DATA EEPROM READ
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

7.4 Writing 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

7.5 Write 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).
EXAMPLE 7-1: WRITE VERIFY

GOTO WRITE_ERR ; NO, Write error : ; YES, Good write : ; Continue program

7.6 Protection 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.
7.7 Data 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.

7.8 Power 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.

8.0 SPECIAL 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.
8.1 Configuration 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 Oscillator Configurations

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:
• LP Low Power Crystal
• XT Crystal/Resonator
• HS High Speed Crystal/Resonator
• RC Resistor/Capacitor
8.2.2 CRYSTAL 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).

8.2.3 EXTERNAL CRYSTAL OSCILLATOR CIRCUIT
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 k resistor provides negative feedback for stability. The 10 k potentiometer biases the 74AS04 in the linear region. This could be used for external oscillator designs.

8.2.4 RC 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 k, the oscillator operation may become unstable, or stop completely. For very high Rext values (e.g., 1 M), the oscillator becomes sensitive to noise, humidity and leakage. Thus, we recommend keeping Rext between 3 k 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).

8.4 Power-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 PWRT (Figure 8-1).

8.6 Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST)

The Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) provides a 1024 oscillator cycle delay (from OSC1 input) after the PWRT delay ends (Figure 8-9, Figure 8-10, Figure 8­11 and Figure 8-12). This ensures the crystal oscillator or resonator has started and stabilized.

8.7 Time-out Sequence and Power Down Status Bits (TO/PD)
On power-up (Figure 8-9, Figure 8-10, Figure 8-11 and Figure 8-12) the time-out sequence is as follows: First 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 configuration bit status. For example, in RC mode with the PWRT disabled, there will be no time-out at all.
TABLE 8-5 TIME-OUT IN VARIOUS

is kept low long enough, the time-outs will expire. Then bringing MCLR immediately (Figure 8-9). This is useful for testing purposes or to synchronize more than one PIC16CXX device when operating in parallel.

8.8 Reset 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.

8.9 Interrupts

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:
LOOP BCF INTCON,GIE ;Disable All ; Interrupts BTFSC INTCON,GIE ;All Interrupts ; Disabled? GOTO LOOP ;NO, try again ; Yes, continue ; with program ; flow

8.9.1 INT 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.

8.9.2 TMR0 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).

8.9.3 PORT 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).

8.10 Context 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).

8.11.1 WDT PERIOD The WDT has a nominal time-out period of 18 ms, (with

8.12 Power-down Mode (SLEEP)

A device may be powered down (SLEEP) and later powered up (Wake-up from SLEEP).
8.12.1 SLEEP 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 contribution from on-chip pull-ups on PORTB should be considered.

8.12.2 WAKE-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 determine the cause of a device reset. The PD
O and PD bits can be used to

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.

8.12.3 WAKE-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.
8.13 Program 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..

8.14 ID 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.

9.0 INSTRUCTION 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.

2: If this instruction is executed on the TMR0 register (and, where applicable , d = 1), the prescaler will be cleared if assigned
to the Timer0 Module.
3: If Program Counter (PC) is modified or a conditional test is true, the instruction requires two cycles. The second cycle is
executed as a NOP.

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.
