2.0 MEMORY 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.

2.2 Data 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.

2.3.1 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 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

2.4 PCL 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.

2.4.1 STACK

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).

2.5 Indirect 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.

3.0 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 (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.
DD range). This memory
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 exact limits.
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).

3.1 Reading 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).

EXAMPLE 3-1: 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

3.2 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.
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.

3.3 Write 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 EECON2, then set WR bit) for each byte. We strongly recommend that interrupts be disabled during this code segment.

4.0 I/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).

4.1 PORTA 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).

BCF STATUS, RP0 ; CLRF PORTB ; Initialize PORTB by
; clearing output
BSF STATUS, RP0 ; Select Bank 1 MOVLW 0xCF ; Value used to
MOVWF TRISB ; Set RB<3:0> as inputs
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.

5.0 TIMER0 MODULE

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).

5.1 Timer0 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).

5.2 Prescaler

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.

5.3 Timer0 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.

6.0 SPECIAL 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).

6.1 Configuration 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.

6.2 Oscillator Configurations

6.2.1 OSCILLATOR TYPES

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:
• LP Low Power Crystal
• XT Crystal/Resonator
• HS High Speed Crystal/Resonator
• RC Resistor/Capacitor

6.2.2 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 (Figure6-1).

6.2.3 RC 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.

The PIC16F84A differentiates between various kinds of RESET:
• Power-on Reset (POR)
•MCLR
during normal operation
•MCLR during SLEEP
• WDT Reset (during normal operation)
• WDT Wake-up (during SLEEP)
Figure 6-4 shows a simplified block diagram of the On-Chip RESET Circuit. The MCLR

during SLEEP. They are not a ffec ted by a WDT Reset during SLEEP, since this RESET is viewed as the resumption of normal operation.
Table 6-3 gives a description of RESET conditions for the program counter (PC) and the STATUS register. T able 6-4 gives a full description of RESET s tates for all registers.
The TO
and PD bits are set or cleared differently in dif­ferent RESET situations (Section 6.7). These bits are used in software to de termine the nature of th e RESET.

6.4 Power-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 AN607, "

6.5 Power-up Timer (PWRT)

The Power-up Timer (PWRT) provides a fixed 72 ms nominal time-out (T through 6-9). The Power-up Timer operates on an 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 tion shown in Figure 6-9).

6.7 Time-out Sequence and Power-down Status Bits (TO
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 no time-ou t at all.

6.8 Interrupts

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.

6.8.1 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 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.

6.8.2 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 5.0).

6.8.3 PORTB 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.

6.8.4 DATA 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).

6.9 Context 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.

6.10 Watchdog 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).

6.10.1 WDT 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.

6.11 Power-down Mode (SLEEP)

A device may be powered down (SLEEP) and later powered up (wake-up from SLEEP).

6.11.1 SLEEP

The Power-down mode is entered by executing the SLEEP instruction.
If enabled, the Watchdog Timer is cleared (but keeps running), the PD (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 should also be at V on-chip pull-ups on PORTB should be considered.
The MCLR pin must be at a logic high level (VIHMC). It should be noted that a RESET generated by a WDT

6.11.2 WAKE-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.

6.11.3 WAKE-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- plete as a NOP. Therefore, the WDT and WDT 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 and the PD
Even if the flag bits were checked before executing a SLEEP instructi on, it may be possible f or flag bits to become set befo re the SLEEP instruction completes. T o determine whether a SLEEP instruction executed, test
bit. If the PD bit is set, the SLEEP instruction
the PD was executed as a NOP.
To ensure that the WDT is cleared, a CLRWDT instruc­tion should be executed before a SLEEP instruction.

bit will be cleared.

bit will be set

6.12 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.

6.13 ID 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.

6.14 In-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.
For complete details of Serial Programming, please refer to the In-Circuit Serial Programming™ (ICSP™) Guide, (DS30277).

7.0 INSTRUCTION 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.
TABLE 7-1: OPCODE FIELD
DESCRIPTIONS
Field Description
f
Register file address (0x00 to 0x7F)
W
Working register (accumulator)
b
Bit address within an 8-bit file register
k
Literal field, constant data or label
x
Don't care location (= 0 or 1) The assembler will generate code with x = 0. It is the recomme nde d form o f u se for co mpat­ibility with all Microchip software tools.
d
Destination select; d = 0: store result in W, d = 1: store result in file register f. Default is d = 1
PC
Program Counter
TO
Time-out bit
PD
Power-down bit
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:
0xhh where h signifies a hexadecimal digit.

8.4 MPLINK 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.

8.5 MPLAB 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.

Note 1: Inst ruction cycle period (TCY) equals four times the input oscillator time-base period. All specified values
are based on characterization data for that particular oscillator type under standard operating conditions with the device executin g cod e. Exc eed ing t hes e sp ec ifi ed li mi ts may result in an unstable oscillator ope ra­tion and/or higher than expected current consumption. All devices are tested to operate at "Min." values with an external clock applied to the OSC1 pin. When an external clock input is used, the "Max." cycle time limit is "DC" (no clock) for all devices.

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.
