2.0MEMORY ORGANIZATION
There are two memory blocks in the PIC16F84A.
These are the program memory and the data memory.
Each block has its own bus, so that access to each
block 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 no t directly mapped
into the data m emory, but is indirectly m ap ped . T hat is ,
an indirect address p ointer s pecifies the ad dress 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 3.0.
Additional informa tion on devi ce memory m ay be found
in the PICmicro™ Mid-Range Reference Manual,
(DS33023).

The PIC16FXX has a 13-bit program counter capable
of addressing an 8K x 14 program memory space. For
the PIC16F84A, the first 1K x 14 (0000h-03FFh) are
physically imple mented (Fi gure 2-1). Accessing a location above the physically implemented address will
cause a wraparound. For example, for locations 20h,
420h, 820h, C20h, 1020h, 1420h, 1820h, and 1C20h,
the instruction will be the same.
The RESET vector is at 0000h and the interrupt vector
is at 0004h.

2.2Data Memory Organization
The data memory is par titione d into two areas. T he first
is the Special Fu nction Regis ters (SFR) a rea, wh ile th e
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 for the
registers that control the peripheral functions. Banking
requires the use of control bits for bank selection.
These control bits are loc at ed i n th e STATU S R egi ste r.
Figure 2-2 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 o f ea ch regi ste r fil e
or indirectly through the File Select Register (FSR)
(Section 2.5). Indirect addressing uses the present
value of the RP0 bit for acces s into the banked ar eas 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 Funct ion Registers. The remain der are General Purpose Registers, implemented as static RAM.

2.3.1STATUS 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 STATUS regi ster 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 ar e s et o r c leared according t o d evi ce lo gic .
Furthermore, the TO
Therefore, the result of an instruction wi th t he STATUS
register as destina tio n 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).
Only the BCF, BSF, SWAPF and MOVWF instructions
should be used to alter the STATUS register (Table 7-2),
because these instructions do not affect any status bit.
and PD bits are not writable.
Note 1: The IRP and RP1 bits (STATUS<7:6>)
are not used by the PIC16F84A and
should be progra mmed as c leared. U se of
these bits as general purpose R/W bits is
NOT recommended, since this may affect
upward compatibility with future products.
2: The C and DC bits operate as a borrow
and digit borrow out bit, respectively, in
subtraction. See the SUBLW and SUBWF
instructi ons for examples.
3: When the STATUS register is the
destinati on for an instruct ion that affects
the Z, DC or C bits, then the writ e to these
three bits is disabled. The specified bit(s)
will be updated according to device logic

2.4PCL and PCLATH
The program counter (PC ) sp eci fie s th e a ddre ss of th e
instruction to fetch for execution. The PC is 13 bits
wide. The low byte is called the PCL register. This register is readable and writable. The high byte is called
the PCH register. This register contains the PC<12:8>
bits and is not directly readable or writable. If the program counter (PC) is modified or a conditional test is
true, the instruction requires two cycles. The second
cycle is executed as a NOP. All updates to t he PCH reg-
ister go through the PCLATH register.
2.4.1STACK
The stack allows a combination of up to 8 program calls
and interrupts to occur. The stack contains the return
address from this branch in program execution .
Mid-range devices have an 8 level deep x 13-bit wide
hardware s tack. The stack space is not par t of either
program or data space and the stack pointer is not
readable or writabl e. The PC i s PUSHed onto th e stac k
when a CALL instruction is executed or an interrupt
causes a branch. The st ac k is POPed in the event of a
RETURN, RETLW or a RETFIE instruction ex ecution.
PCLATH is not modified wh en th e s tac k i s PU SH ed or
POPed.
After the stack has bee n PUSHed eight time s, the ninth
push overwrites th e value tha t was stored fro m the firs t
push. The tenth pus h ov erwr i tes the se co nd push (and
so on).
2.5Indirect Addressing; INDF and
FSR Registers
The INDF register is no t a physical reg ister . Addr essing
INDF actually addresse s the regi st er whose ad dress i s
contained in the FSR reg ister (FSR is a
indirect addressing.
EXAMPLE 2-1: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 regi ste r w ill ret urn t he v al ue
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).
A simple program to clear RAM locations 20h-2Fh
using indirect addressing is shown in Example 2-2.

3.0DATA 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 (not a physically implemented register)
• EEDA TA
• EEADR
EEDATA holds the 8-bit data for read/write, and
EEADR holds the address of the EEPROM location
being accessed. PIC16F84A devices have 64 bytes of
data EEPROM with an address range from 0h to 3Fh.

The EEPROM data memory allows b yte read and write.
A byte write automatically erases the location and
writes the new data (erase be fore write). The EEPROM
data memory is rated fo r high eras e/write c ycles. The
write time is controlled by an on-chip timer. The writetime will vary with voltage and temperature as well as
from chip to c hip. Pl ease refe r to A C s peci ficat io ns fo r

When the device is code protected, the CPU may
continue to read and write th e data EEPROM memory.
The device programmer can no longer access
this memory.
Additional information on the Data EEPROM is available in the PICmicro™ Mid-Range Reference Manual
(DS33023).

3.1Reading the EEPROM Data
Memory
T o read a d ata memory lo cation, the user must write the
address to the EEADR register and then set control bit
RD (EECON1<0>). The data is available, in the very
next cycle, in the EEDATA register; th erefore, it can be
read in the next instru ction. EEDATA will hold this valu e
until another read or until it is written to by the user
(during a write operation).

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
3.2Writing 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.
Additionally, the WREN bit in EECON1 must be set to
enable write. This mechanism prevents accident al 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 affec t this writ e cycle. The WR bit will
be inhibited from being s et 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.
3.3Write Verify
Depending on the application, good programming
practice may dictate that the value written to the Data
EEPROM should be verified (Example 3-3) to the
desired value to be written. This should be used in
applications where an EEPROM bit will be stressed
near the specification limit.
Generally , th e EEPROM write failure wil l be a bit whic h
was written as a ’0’, but reads back as a ’1’ (due to
leakage off the bit).

The write will not initiate if the above sequence is not
exactly followed (write 55h to EECON2, write AAh to

recommend that interrupts be disabled during this
code segment.

4.0I/O PORTS
Some pins for thes e I/O ports are mul tiplexed wit h an
alternate function for the peripheral features on the
device. In general, when a peripheral is enabled, that
pin may not be used as a general purpose I/O pin.
Additional inform atio n o n I/O ports ma y b e found in the
PICmicro™ Mid-Range Refer ence M anual (DS33 023).
4.1PORTA and TRISA Registers
PORTA is a 5-bit wide, bi-directional port. The corresponding data direction register is TRISA. Setting a
TRISA bit (= 1) will m ake the corres ponding POR T A pin
an input (i.e., put the corresponding output driver in a
Hi-Impedance mode). Clearing a TRISA bit (= 0) will
make the correspondin g PORTA pin an output (i.e., put
the contents of the output latch on the selected pin).
Note:On a Power-on Reset, these pins are con-
figured as inputs and read as '0'.
Reading the PORTA register reads the status of the
pins, whereas writing to i t will wri te to th e po rt latch. All
write operations are read-modify-write operations.
Therefore, a write to a port implies that the port pins are
read. This value is m odifie d and then written to the port
data latch.
Pin RA4 is multiplexed with the Timer0 module clock
input to become the RA4/T0CKI pin. The RA4/T0CKI
pin is a Schmitt Trig ger input and an open drai n output.
All other RA port pins have TTL input levels and full
CMOS output drivers.

4.2 PORTB and TRISB Registers
PORTB is an 8-bit wide, bi-directional port. The corresponding data direction register is TRISB. Setting a
TRISB bit (= 1) will make the c orresponding POR TB pin
an input (i.e., put the corresponding output driver in a
Hi-Impedance mode). Clearing a TRISB bit (= 0) will
make the correspo nding POR TB pin an output ( i.e., p ut
the contents of the output latch on the selected pin).

Each of the PORTB pins has a we ak inte rnal pul l-up. A
single control bit can turn on all the pull-ups. This is performed by clearing bit RBPU
pull-up is automatically turned off when the port pin is
configured as an outpu t. The pull-ups are disable d on a
Power-on Reset.
Four of PORTB’s pi ns, RB7:RB4, have an interrupt-onchange 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 interrupton-change comparison). The input pins (of RB7:RB4)
are compared with the old value latched on the last
read of PORTB. The “mismatch” outputs of RB7:RB4
are OR’ed together to generate the RB Port Change
Interrupt with flag bit RBIF (INTCON<0>).
This interrupt can wake the device from SLEEP. The
user, in the Interrupt Service Routine, can clear the
interrupt in the following manner:
a) Any read or write of PORTB. This will end the
mismatch condition.
b) Clear flag bit RBIF.
A mismatch condition will continue to set flag bit RBIF.
Reading PORTB will end the mismatch condition and
allow flag bit RBIF to be cleared.
The interrupt-on-change feature is recommended for
wake-up on key depression operation and operations
where PORTB is only us ed f or the int errup t-on -ch ang e
feature. Polling of PORTB is not recommended while
using the interrupt-on-change feature.

The Timer0 module timer/counter has the following
features:
• 8-bit timer/counter
• Readable and writable
• Internal or external clock select
• Edge select for external clock
• 8-bit software programmable prescaler
• Interrupt-on-overflow from FFh to 00h
Figure 5-1 is a simplified block diagram of the Timer0
module.
Additional information on timer modules is available in
the PICmicro™ Mid-Range Reference Manual
(DS33023).
5.1Timer0 Operation
Timer0 can operate as a timer or as a counter.
Timer mode is selected by clearing bit T0CS
(OPTION_REG<5>). In Timer mode, the Timer0 module will increment ev ery ins tru cti on c y cle (with ou t prescaler). If the TMR0 register is written, the increment is
inhibited for the following two instruction cycles. The
user can work around this by writing an adjusted value
to the TMR0 register.
Counter mode is selected by setting bit T0CS
(OPTION_REG<5>). In Counter mode, Timer0 will
increment, either on every rising or falling edge of pin
RA4/T0CKI. The incrementing edge is determined by
the Timer0 Source Edge Select bit, T0SE
(OPTION_REG<4>). Clearing bit T0SE selects the rising edge. Restrictions on the external clock input are
discussed be low.
When an external clock inpu t is used for T i mer0, it must
meet certain requirements. The requirements ensure
the external clock can be synchronized w ith the internal
phase clock (T
OSC). Also, there is a delay in the actual
incrementing of Timer0 after synchronization.
Additional information on external clock requirements
is available in the PICmicro™ Mid-Range Reference
Manual, (DS33023).
5.2Prescaler
An 8-bit count er is availa ble as a prescale r for the T imer 0
module, or as a postscaler for the Watchdog Timer,
respectively (Figure 5-2). For simplicity, this counter is
being referred to as “prescaler” throughout this data
sheet. Note that there is only one prescaler available
which is mutual ly exclu sively shar ed between the T imer0
module and the Watchdog Timer. Thus, a prescaler
assignment for t he Tim er0 module me ans that th ere is no
prescaler for the Watchdog Timer, and vice-versa.
The prescaler is not readable or writable.
The PSA and PS2:PS0 bits (OPTION_REG<3:0>)
determine the prescaler assignment and pre scale ratio.
Clearing bit PSA will assign the p rescaler to the T ime r0
module. When the prescaler is assigned to the Timer0
module, prescale values of 1:2, 1:4, ..., 1:256 are
selectable.
Setting bit PSA will assign the prescaler to the Watchdog
Timer (WDT). When the prescaler is assigned to the
WDT , prescale values of 1:1, 1:2, ..., 1:128 are selectable.
When assigned to the Timer0 module, all instructions
writing to the TMR0 regi ster (e.g., CLRF 1, MOVWF 1,BSF 1,etc.) will clear the presca ler. When assigned to
WDT, a CLRWDT instruction will clear the prescaler
along with the WDT.
Note:Writing to TMR0 when the prescaler is
assigned to Timer0 will clear the prescaler
count, but will not change the prescaler
assignment.
2: The prescaler is shared with Watchdog Timer (refer to Figure5-2 for detailed block diagram).

The prescaler assignment is fully under software con-

5.3Timer0 Interrupt
The TMR0 interrupt is generated when the TMR0 register overflows from FFh to 00h. This overflow sets bit
T0IF (INTCON <2>). The interrup t can be masked by
clearing bit T0IE (INTCON<5>). Bit T0IF must be
cleared in software by th e Ti mer0 module Interru pt Service Routine before re-enabling this interrupt. The
TMR0 interrupt cannot awaken the processor from
SLEEP since the timer is shut-off during SLEEP.

6.0SPECIAL FEATURES OF THE
CPU
What sets a microcontroller apart from other
processors are sp ecial circu its to deal with the needs of
real time applications. The PIC16F84A 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™ (ICSP™)
The PIC16F84A 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 nec essar y delays on power-u p. One i s
the Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST), intended to keep
the chip in RESET until the crystal oscillator is stable.
The other is the Power-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
power supply st abili zes. W ith the se tw o time rs on-c hip,
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.
Additional information on special features is available
in the PICmicro™ Mid-Range Reference Manual
(DS33023).
6.1Configuration Bits
The configuration bit s can be programme d (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.
The PIC16F84A can be operated in four different
oscillator modes. The user can program two
configuration bit s (FOSC1 a nd FOSC0) to sele ct one of
these four modes:
• LPLow Power Crystal
• XTCrystal/Resonator
• HSHigh Speed Crystal/Resonator
• RCResistor/Capacitor
6.2.2CRYSTAL 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 (Figure6-1).

6.2.3RC OSCILLATOR
For timing insensitive applications, the RC device
option offers additional cost savings. The RC oscillator
frequency is a function of the supply voltage, the
resistor (R
EXT) values, capacitor (CEXT) values, and
the operating temperature. In ad dition to this, the os cillator frequency will vary from unit to unit due to normal
process parameter variation. Furthermore, the
difference in le ad fram e c apacitance between package
types also affects the oscillation frequency, especially
for low C
EXT values. The user needs to take into
account variation, due to tolerance of the external
R and C components. Figure 6-3 shows how an R/C
combination is connected to the PIC16F84A.

6.4Power-on Reset (POR)
A Power-on Reset pulse is generated on-chip when
DD rise is detected (in the range of 1.2V - 1.7V). To
V
take advantage of the POR, just tie the MCLR
directly (or through a resistor) to V
DD. This will
pin
eliminate 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 (voltage, frequency, temperature, etc.) must be met to
ensure operation. If these conditions are not met, the
device must be held in RESET until the operating conditions are met.
For additional information, refer to Application Note

6.5 Power-up Timer (PWRT)
The Power-up Timer (PWRT) provides a fixed 72 ms
nominal time-out (T

internal RC oscillator. The chip is kept in RESET as
long as the PWRT is active. The PWRT delay allows
DD to rise to an acceptable level (possible excep-
the V

When VDD rises very slowly, it is possible that the TPWRT time-out and TOST time-out will expire before VDD

On power-up (Figures 6-6 through 6-9), the time-out
sequence is as follows:
1.PWRT time-out is invoked after a POR has
expired.
2.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

PIC16F84A
6.8Interrupts
The PIC16F84A has 4 sources of interrup t:
• External interrupt RB0/INT pin
• TMR0 overflow interrupt
• PORTB change interrupts (pins RB7:RB4)
• Data EEPROM write complete interrupt
The interrupt control register (INTCON) records
individual int errup t requests in f lag b its. It also c ontains
the individual and global interrupt enable bits.
The global interrupt enable bit, GIE (INTCON<7>),
enables (if set) all unmasked 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
re-enables interrupts.
The RB0/INT pin interrupt, the R B 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 a nd the PC is lo ade d
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 occ urs.
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:Individual interrupt flag bits are set
regardless of the status of their
corresponding mask bit or the GIE bit.
6.8.1INT 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 6.11) only if the INTE bit was set prior to g oing
into SLEEP. The status of the GIE bit decides whether
the processor branches to the interrupt vector
following wake-up.
6.8.2TMR0 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 5.0).
6.8.3PORTB 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 4.2).
Note:For a change on the I/O pin to be
recognized, the pulse width must be at
least TCY wide.
6.8.4DATA EEPROM INTERRUPT
At the completion of a data EEPROM write cycle, flag
bit EEIF (EECON1<4>) will be set. The interrupt can be
enabled/disabled by setting/clearing enable bit EEIE
(INTCON<6>) (Section 3 .0).

6.9Context Saving During Interrupts
During an interrupt, only the return PC value is saved
on the stack. Typically, users wish to sa ve ke y re gi ste r
values during an interrupt (e.g., W register and
STATUS register). This is implemented in s oftware.
The code in Example 6-1 stores and restores the
STATUS and W register’s values. The user defined
registers, W_TEMP and STATUS_TEMP are the temporary storage locations for the W and STATUS
registers values.
Example 6-1 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.

6.10Watchdog Timer (WDT)
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 disable d by programming c onfiguration bit
WDTE as a '0' (Section6.1).
6.10.1WDT PERIOD
The WDT has a nominal time-o ut period of 18 ms, (wi th
no prescaler). The time-out periods vary with
temperature, VDD and process varia tions from par t to
part (see DC specs). If longer time-out periods are
desired, a prescaler with a division ratio of up to 1:128
can be assigned to the WDT under software c ontr ol by
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 the postscaler (if assigned to the WDT) and prevent it from timing out and generating a device
RESETcondition.

6.11Power-down Mode (SLEEP)
A device may be powered down (SLEEP) and later
powered up (wake-up from SLEEP).
6.11.1SLEEP
The Power-down mode is entered by executing the
SLEEP instruction.
If enabled, the Watchdog Timer is cleared (but keeps
running), the PD
(STATUS<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 V
circuitry drawing current from the I/O pins, and disable
external clocks. I/O pins that are hi-impedance inputs
should be pulled h igh or lo w exte rnally to avoid switching currents caused by floating in puts. Th e T0CKI inp ut

6.11.2WAKE-UP FROM SLEEP
The device can wake-up from SLEEP through one of
the following events:
1.External RESET input on MCLR
2.WDT wake-up (if WDT was enabled).
3.Interrupt from RB0/INT pin, RB port 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 ev en t s are c ons id ered a co nti nuation of program execution. The TO and PD bits can
be used to determine the cause of a device RESET.
The PD bit, which is set on pow er-u p, i s clea red w hen
SLEEP is invoked. The TO
bit is cleared if a WDT
time-out occurred (and caused wake-up).
While the SLEEP instruction is being executed, the next
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 execution 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.

6.11.3WAKE-UP USING INTERRUPTS
When global interrupts are disabled (GIE cleared) and
any inter rupt source has bot h its interrupt en able bit
and interrupt flag bit s et, one of the fo llowin g will oc cur:
• If the interrupt occurs before the execution of a SLEEP instruction, the SLEEP instruction will com-

postscaler will not be cl eared, the TO
be set and PD
• If the interrupt occurs during or after the execu-
tion 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 TO

Protection
If the code protection bit(s) have not been programmed, the on-chip program memory can be read

6.13ID Locations
Four memory locatio ns (2000h - 2004h) are design ated
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
four Least Significant bits of ID location are usable.
6.14In-Circuit Serial Programming
PIC16F84A microcontrollers can be serially
programmed while in t he end appl icati on ci rcuit. Th is i s
simply done with two line s for clock and da ta, 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.

7.0INSTRUCTION SET SUMMARY
Each PIC16CXX instruction is a 14-bit word, divided
into an OPCOD E which specifie s the instruct ion type
and one or mor e operands which fur ther specify the
operation of the instruction. The PIC16CXX instruction
set summary in Table 7-2 lists byte-oriented, bit-ori-ented, and literal and control operations. Table 7-1
shows the opcode field descriptions.
For byte-oriented inst ruc tio ns, ’f’ represents a file register designator and ’d’ represents a destination designator. The file re gister designator s pecifies which f ile
register is to be used by the instruction.
The destination des ignator specifies w here the result of
the operation is to be placed. If ’d’ is zero, the result is
placed in the W regist er . If ’d’ is one , the result is pl aced
in the file register specified in the instruction.
For bit-oriented instructions, ’b’ represents a bit field
designator which selects the nu mb er o f the bit affecte d
by the operation, while ’ f’ represents the address 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 instruction cycle, unless a condition al test is true or t he 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 inst ruc-
tion cycle consists of four oscillator periods. Thus, for
an oscillator freq uency o f 4 MH z, the normal i nstructio n
execution time is 1µs. If a conditional tes t is true o r the
program counter is changed as a result of an instruction, the instruction execution time is 2 µs.
Table 7-2 lists the instructions recognized by the
MPASM™ Assembler.
Figure 7-1 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 instruction s .
All examples use the following format to represent a
hexadecimal number:

where h signifies a hexadecimal digit.

8.2MP ASM Assembler
The MPASM assembler is a full-featured universal
macro assembler for all PICmicro MCU’s.
The MPASM assembler has a command line interface
and a Windows shell. It can be used as a stand-alone
application on a Windows 3.x or greater system, or it
can be used through MPL AB IDE. The MPASM assembler generates relocatable object files for the MPLINK
object linker, Intel
®
standard HEX files, MAP files to
detail memory usage and symbol reference, an absolute LST file that contains source lines and generated
machine code, and a COD file for debugging.
The MPASM assembler features include:
• Integration into MPLAB IDE projects.
• User-defined macros to streamline assembly
code.
• Conditional assembl y for mul ti-p urpo se sourc e
files.

8.4MPLINK Object Linker/
MPLIB Object Librarian
The MPLINK object linker combines relocatable
objects created by the MPASM assembler and the
MPLAB C17 and MPLAB C18 C compilers. It can also
link relocatable objects from pre-compiled libraries,
using directives from a linker script.
The MPLIB object librarian is a librarian for precompiled code to be used with the MPLINK object
linker. When a routine from a library is called from
another source file, only the modules that contain that
routine will be linked in with the appli cation. Th is allo ws
large libra ries to be used efficiently in man y different
applications. The MPLIB object librarian manages the
creation and modification of library files.
The MPLINK object linker features include:
• Integration with MPASM assembler and MPLAB
C17 and MPLAB C18 C compilers.
• Allows all memory areas t o be d efined as sections
to provide link-time flex ibi lity.
The MPLIB object librarian features include:
• Easier linking because single libraries can be
included instead of many smaller files.
• Helps keep code maintainable by grouping
related modules together.
• Allows libraries to be created and modules to be
added, listed, replaced, deleted or extracted.
8.5MPLAB SIM Software Simulator
The MPLAB SIM softw are simulator allows code de velopment in a PC-hosted environment by simulating the
PICmicro series microcontrollers on an instruction
level. On any given instruction, the data areas can be
examined or modified and stimuli can be applied from
a file, or user-defined ke y press, to an y of the pins. The
execution can be performed in single step, execute
until break, or trace mode.
The MPLAB SIM simulator fully supports symbolic debugging using the MPLAB C17 and the MPLAB C18 C compilers and the MPASM assembler. The software simulator
offers the flexibility to develop and debug code outside of
the laboratory environmen t, making it an e xcellent mu ltiproject software development tool.

APPENDIX C:MIGRATION FROM
BASELINE TO
MID-RANGE DEVICES
This section discusses how to migrate from a baseline
device (i.e., PIC16C5X) to a mid-range device (i.e.,
PIC16CXXX).
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 512K before)
and the register file (128 bytes now versus
32 bytes before).
2.A PC latch register (PCLATH) is added to handle program memory pag ing. PA2, PA1 and PA0
bits are removed from the STATUS register and
placed in the OPTION register.
3.Data memory 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 PIC16C 5X.
5.OPTION and TRIS registers are made
addressable.
6.Interr upt capa bilit y is add ed. Inte rrupt vector is
at 0004h.
7.Stack size is increased to eight-deep.
8.RESET vector is changed to 0000h.
9.RESET of all registers is revisited. Five d ifferent
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-onchange 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 possibl e. The
user can program PIC1 6CXX devices using only
five pins: V
(data in/out).
DD, VSS, VPP, RB6 (clock) and RB7
To convert code written for PIC16C5X to PIC16F84A,
the user should take the following steps:
1.Remove any program memory page select
operations (P A2, PA1, PA0 bit s) 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.
