PIC17C7XX
1.0OVERVIEW
This data sheet covers the PIC17C7XX group of the
PIC17CXXX family of microcontrollers. The following
devices are discussed in this data sheet:
• PIC17C752
• PIC17C756A
• PIC17C762
• PIC17C766
The PIC17C7XX devices are 68/84-pin,
EPROM-based members of the versatile PIC17CXXX
family of low-cost, high-performance, CMOS,
fully-static, 8-bit microcontrollers.
All PICmicro™ microcontrollers employ an advanced
RISC architecture. The PIC17CXXX has enhanced
core features, 16-lev el deep stack, and multiple internal
and external interrupt sources. The separate instruction and data buses of the Harvard architecture allow a
16-bit wide instruction word with a separate 8-bit wide
data path. 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 58
instructions (reduced instruction set) are available.
Additionally, a large register set gives some of the
architectural innovations used to achieve a very high
performance. For mathematical intensive applications
all devices have a single cycle 8 x 8 Hardware Multiplier.
PIC17CXXX microcontrollers typically achieve a 2:1
code compression and a 4:1 speed improvement over
other 8-bit microcontrollers in their class.
PIC17C7XX devices have up to 902 b ytes of RAM and
66
pins. In addition, the PIC17C7XX adds several
I/O
peripheral features useful in many high performance
applications including:
• Four timer/counters
• Four capture inputs
• Three PWM outputs
• Two independent Universal Synchronous Asynchronous Receiver Transmitters (USARTs)
• An A/D converter (multi-channel, 10-bit resolution)
• A Synchronous Serial Port
(SPI and I
These special features 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 LF oscillator is for low frequency crystals and minimizes power
consumption, XT is a standard crystal, and the EC is for
external clock input.
The SLEEP (power-down) mode offers additional
power saving. Wake-up from SLEEP can occur
through several external and internal interrupts and
device resets.
2
C w/ Master mode)
A highly reliable Watchdog Timer with its own on-chip
RC oscillator provides protection against software malfunction.
There are four configuration options for the device
operational mode:
• Microprocessor
• Microcontroller
• Extended microcontroller
• Protected microcontroller
The microprocessor and extended microcontroller
modes allow up to 64K-words of external program
memory.
The device also has Brown-out Reset circuitry. This
allows a device reset to occur if the device V
below the Brown-out voltage trip point (BVDD). The
chip will remain in Brown-out Reset until VDD rises
above BV
A UV-erasable CERQUAD-packaged version (compatible with PLCC) is ideal for code dev elopment while the
cost-effective One-Time Programmable (OTP) version
is suitable for production in any volume.
The PIC17C7XX fits perfectly in applications that
require extremely fast execution of complex software
programs. These include applications ranging from
precise motor control and industrial process control to
automotive, instrumentation, and telecom applications.
The EPROM technology makes customization of application programs (with unique security codes, combinations, model numbers, parameter storage, etc.) f ast and
convenient. Small footprint package options (including
die sales) make the PIC17C7XX ideal for applications
with space limitations that require high performance.
High speed execution, powerful peripheral features,
flexible I/O, and low power consumption all at low cost
make the PIC17C7XX ideal for a wide range of embedded control applications.
1.1F
The PIC17CXXX family of microcontrollers have architectural enhancements over the PIC16C5X and
PIC16CXX families. These enhancements allow the
device to be more efficient in software and hardware
requirements. Ref er to Appendix A for a detailed list of
enhancements and modifications. Code written for
PIC16C5X or PIC16CXX can be easily ported to
PIC17CXXX devices (Appendix B).
1.2De
The PIC17CXXX family is supported by a full-featured
macro assembler, a software simulator, an in-circuit
emulator, a universal programmer, a “C” compiler, and
fuzzy logic support tools. For additional information
see Section 19.0.
Each device has a variety of frequency ranges and
packaging options. Depending on application and production requirements, the proper device option can be
selected using the information in the PIC17C7XX Product Selection System section at the end of this data
sheet. When placing orders, please use the
“PIC17C7XX Product Identification System” at the back
of this data sheet to specify the correct part number.
When discussing the functionality of the device, memory technology and voltage range does not matter.
There are three memory type options. These are specified in the middle characters of the part number.
1.C, as in PIC17C756A. These devices have
EPROM type memory.
2.CR, as in PIC17CR756A. These devices have

3.0ARCHITECTURAL OVERVIEW
The high performance of the PIC17CXXX can be attributed to a number of architectural features commonly
found in RISC microprocessors. To begin with, the
PIC17CXXX uses a modified Harvard architecture.
This architecture has the program and data accessed
from separate memories. So , the device has a progr am
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.
PIC17CXXX opcodes are 16-bits wide, enabling single
word instructions. The full 16-bit wide program memory bus fetches a 16-bit instruction in a single cycle. A
two-stage pipeline overlaps fetch and execution of
instructions. Consequently, all instructions execute in a
single cycle (121 ns @ 33 MHz), except for program
branches and two special instructions that transfer data
between program and data memory.
The PIC17CXXX can address up to 64K x 16 of program memory space.
The

EPROM program memory on-chip.
The
PIC17C756A
EPROM program memory on-chip.
A simplified block diagram is shown in Figure 3-1. The
descriptions of the device pins are listed in Table 3-1.
Program execution can be internal only (microcontrol-
ler or protected microcontroller mode), external only
(microprocessor mode) or both (extended microcontroller mode). Extended microcontroller mode does not
allow code protection.
The PIC17CXXX can directly or indirectly address its
register files or data memory. All special function registers, including the Program Counter (PC) and Working Register (WREG), are mapped in data memory.
The PIC17CXXX has 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 PIC17CXXX simple yet efficient. In addition, the learning curve is
reduced significantly.
One of the PIC17CXXX family architectural enhancements from the PIC16CXX family allows two file registers to be used in some two operand instructions. This
allows data to be moved directly between two registers
without going through the WREG register. Thus
increasing performance and decreasing program
memory usage.
The PIC17CXXX devices contain an 8-bit ALU and
working register. The ALU is a general purpose arithmetic unit. It performs arithmetic and Boolean functions between data in the working register and any
register file.

integrate 16K x 16
The WREG register is an 8-bit working register used for
ALU operations.
All PIC17CXXX devices have an 8 x 8 hardware multiplier. This multiplier generates a 16-bit result in a single
cycle.
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.
Depending on the instruction executed, the ALU may
affect the values of the Carry (C), Digit Carry (DC),
Zero (Z) and overflow (O V) bits in the ALUSTA register.
The C and DC bits operate as a borro
out bit, respectively, in subtraction. See the
SUBWF
instructions for examples.
w and digit borrow
SUBLW
and
Signed arithmetic is comprised of a magnitude and a
sign bit. The overflow bit indicates if the magnitude
overflows and causes the sign bit to change state. That
is if the result of 8-bit signed operations is greater than
127 (7Fh) or less than -128 (80h).
Signed math can have greater than 7-bit values (magnitude), if more than one byte is used. The overflow bit
only operates on bit6 (MSb of magnitude) and bit7 (sign
bit) of each byte value in the ALU. That is, the overflow
bit is not useful if trying to implement signed math
where the magnitude, for example, is 11-bits.
If the signed math values are greater than 7-bits (such
as 15-, 24- or 31-bit), the algorithm must ensure that
the low order bytes of the signed value ignore the ov erflow status bit.
Example 3-1 shows an two cases of doing signed arith-
metic. The Carry (C) bit and the Overflow (OV) bit are
the most important status bits for signed math operations.

4.0ON-CHIP OSCILLATOR
CIRCUIT
The internal oscillator circuit is used to generate the
device clock. Four device clock periods generate an
internal instruction clock (T
There are four modes that the oscillator can operate in.
They are selected by the device configuration bits during device programming. These modes are:
• LFLow Frequency (F
• XTStandard Crystal/Resonator Frequency
(2 MHz <= F
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 Power-up Timer
(PWRT), which provides a fixed delay of 96 ms (nominal) on POR and BOR. The PWR T is designed to keep
the part in RESET while the power supply stabilizes.
With these two timers on-chip, most applications need
no external reset circuitry.
SLEEP mode is designed to offer a very low current
power-down mode. The user can wake from SLEEP
through external reset, Watchdog Timer Reset or
through an interrupt.
Several oscillator options are made available to allow
the part to better fit the application. The RC oscillator
option saves system cost while the LF crystal option
saves power. Configuration bits are used to select various options.
4.1Oscillator Configurations
4.1.1 OSCILLATOR TYPES
The PIC17CXXX can be operated in four different oscillator modes. The user can program two configuration
bits (FOSC1:FOSC0) to select one of these four
modes:
• LFLow Power Crystal
• XTCrystal/Resonator
• ECExternal Clock Input
• RCResistor/Capacitor
The main difference between the LF and XT modes is
the gain of the internal inverter of the oscillator circuit
which allows the different frequency ranges.
For more details on the device configuration bits, see
Section 17.0.
CY).
OSC <= 2 MHz)
OSC <= 33 MHz)
4.1.2CRYSTAL OSCILLATOR / CERAMIC
RESONATORS
In XT or LF modes, a crystal or ceramic resonator is
connected to the OSC1/CLKIN and OSC2/CLKOUT
pins to establish oscillation (Figure 4-2). The
PIC17CXXX oscillator design requires the use of a parallel cut crystal. Use of a series cut crystal may give a
frequency out of the crystal manufacturers specifications.
For frequencies above 20 MHz, it is common for the
crystal to be an overtone mode crystal. Use of overtone mode crystals require a tank circuit to attenuate
the gain at the fundamental frequency. Figure 4-3
shows an example circuit.
4.1.2.1OSCILLATOR / RESONATOR START-UP
As the device voltage increases from Vss, the oscillator
will start its oscillations. The time required f or the oscillator to start oscillating depends on many factors.
These include:
• Crystal / resonator frequency
• Capacitor values used (C1 and C2)
• Device V
• System temperature
• Series resistor value (and type) if used
• Oscillator mode selection of device (which selects
Figure 4-1 shows an example of a typical oscillator/
resonator start-up. The peak-to-peak voltage of the
oscillator waveform can be quite low (less than 50% of
device V

4.1.4EXTERNAL 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 can be used: one with series
resonance, or one with parallel resonance.
Figure 4-5 shows implementation of a parallel resonant
oscillator circuit. The circuit is designed to use the fundamental frequency of the crystal. The 74AS04
inverter performs the 180-degree phase shift that a parallel oscillator requires. The 4.7 kΩ resistor provides
the negative feedback for stability. The 10 kΩ potentiometer biases the 74AS04 in the linear region. This
could be used for external oscillator designs.

4.1.5RC OSCILLATOR
For timing insensitive applications, the RC device
option offers additional cost savings. RC oscillator frequency is a function of the supply voltage, the resistor
(Rext) and capacitor (Cext) values, and the operating
temperature. In addition to this, oscillator frequency
will vary from unit to unit due to normal process parameter variation. Furthermore, the difference in lead
frame capacitance between package types will also
affect oscillation frequency, especially for low Cext values. The user also needs to tak e into account v ariation
due to tolerance of external R and C components used.
Figure 4-7 shows how the R/C combination is con-
nected to the PIC17CXXX. For Rext values below
2.2 kΩ, the oscillator operation may become unstable,
or stop completely. For very high Rext values (e.g.
1 MΩ), the oscillator becomes sensitive to noise,
humidity and leakage. Thus, we recommend to keep
Rext between 3 kΩ and 100 kΩ.
Although the oscillator will operate with no external
capacitor (Cext = 0 pF), we recommend using values
above 20 pF for noise and stability reasons. With little
or no external capacitance, oscillation frequency can
vary dramatically due to changes in external capacitances, such as PCB trace capacitance or package
lead frame capacitance.
See Section 21.0 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 will
affect RC frequency more).
See Section 21.0 for variation of oscillator frequency
due to V
DD for given Rext/Cext values as well as fre-
quency variation due to operating temperature for given
R, C, and V
DD values.
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 4-8 for
waveform).

As the device voltage increases, the RC will immedi-
ately start its oscillations once the pin voltage levels
meet the input threshold specifications (parameter

tion section). The time required for the RC to start
oscillating depends on many factors. These include:

4.2Clocking 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, and 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
are shown in Figure 4-8.

4.3Instruction Flow/Pipelining
An “Instruction Cycle” consists of four Q cycles (Q1,
Q2, Q3, and Q4). The instruction fetch and e xecute 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 4-1).
A fetch cycle begins with the program counter incrementing in Q1.
In the execution cycle, the f etched instruction is latched
into the “Instruction Register (IR)” in cycle Q1. This
instruction is then decoded and executed during the
Q2, Q3, and Q4 cycles. Data memory is read during
Q2 (operand read) and written during Q4 (destination
write).

5.0RESET
The PIC17CXXX differentiates between various kinds
of reset:
• Power-on Reset (POR)
• Brown-out Reset
• MCLR
Reset
• WDT Reset
Some registers are not affected in any reset condition,
their status is unknown on POR and unchanged in any
other reset. Most other registers are forced to a “reset
state”. The T
in different reset situations as indicated in Table 5-3.
These bits, in conjunction with the POR
O and PD bits are set or cleared differently
and BOR bits,
When the device enters the "reset state" the Data
Direction registers (DDR) are forced set, which will
make the I/O hi-impendance inputs. The reset state of
some peripheral modules may force the I/O to other
operations, such as analog inputs or the system bus.
Note:While the device is in a reset state, the
internal phase clock is held in the Q1 state.
Any processor mode that allows external
execution will force the RE0/ALE pin as a
low output and the RE1/OE
pins as high outputs.

shown in Figure 5-1.

5.1.2POWER-UP TIMER (PWRT)
The Power-up Timer provides a fixed 96 ms time-out
(nominal) on power-up. This occurs from the rising
edge of the internal POR signal if V
tied, or after the first rising edge of MCLR
DD and MCLR are
(detected
high). The Power-up Timer operates on an internal RC
oscillator. The chip is kept in RESET as long as the
PWRT is active. In most cases the PWRT delay allows
V
DD to rise to an acceptable level.
The power-up time delay will vary from chip to chip and
DD and temperature. See DC parameters for
with V
details.
5.1.3OSCILLATOR START-UP TIMER (OST)
The Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) provides a 1024
oscillator cycle (1024T
OSC) delay whenever the PWRT
is invoked or a wak e-up from SLEEP event occurs in XT
or LF mode. The PWRT and OST operate in parallel.
The OST counts the oscillator pulses on the
OSC1/CLKIN pin. The counter only starts incrementing
after the amplitude of the signal reaches the oscillator
input thresholds. This delay allows the crystal oscillator
or resonator to stabilize before the device exits reset.
The length of the time-out is a function of the crystal/resonator frequency.
Figure 5-4 shows the operation of the OST circuit. In
this figure the oscillator is of such a low frequency that
although enabled simultaneously, the OST does not
time-out until after the Power-up Timer time-out.

5.1.4TIME-OUT SEQUENCE
On power-up the time-out sequence is as follows: First
the internal POR signal goes high when the POR trip
point is reached. If MCLR
is high, then both the OST
and PWRT timers start. In general the PWRT time-out
is longer, except with low frequency crystals/resonators. The total time-out also varies based on oscillator
configuration. Table 5-1 shows the times that are asso-
ciated with the oscillator configuration. Figure 5-5 and
Figure 5-6 display these time-out sequences.
If the device voltage is not within electrical specification
at the end of a time-out, the MCLR/
VPP pin must be
held low until the voltage is within the device specification. The use of an external RC delay is sufficient for
many of these applications.
The time-out sequence begins from the first rising edge
of MCLR
.

registers, while Table 5-4 shows the initialization condi-
tions for all the registers.

5.1.5BROWN-OUT RESET (BOR)
PIC17C7XX devices have on-chip Brown-out Reset cir-
cuitry. This circuitry places the device into a reset when
the device voltage falls below a trip point (BV
DD). This
ensures that the device does not continue program
execution outside the valid operation range of the
device. Brown-out resets are typically used in AC line
applications or large battery applications where large
loads may be switched in (such as automotive).
Note:Before using the on-chip brown-out for a
voltage supervisory function, please
review the electrical specifications to
ensure that they meet your requirements.
The BODEN configuration bit can disable (if clear/programmed) or enable (if set) the Brown-out Reset circuitry. If V
DD falls below BVDD (Typically 4.0V,
parameter #D005 in electrical specification section), for
greater than parameter #35, the brown-out situation will
reset the chip. A reset is not guaranteed to occur if V
DD
falls below BVDD for less than parameter #35. The chip
will remain in Brown-out Reset until V
BV
DD. The Power-up Timer and Oscillator Start-up
DD rises above
Timer will then be invoked. This will keep the chip in
reset the greater of 96 ms and 1024 T
below BV
DD while the Power-up Timer/Oscillator
OSC. If VDD drops
Start-up Timer is running, the chip will go back into a
Brown-out Reset. The Power-up Timer/Oscillator
Start-up Timer will be initialized. Once V
BV
DD, the Power-up Timer/Oscillator Start-up Timer
DD rises above
will start their time delays. Figure 5-10 shows typical
Brown-out situations.
In some applications, the Brown-out reset trip point of
the device may not be at the desired level. Figure 5-8
and Figure 5-9 are two examples of external circuitry
that may be implemented. Each needs to be e v aluated
to determine if they match the requirements of the
application.

The CPUSTA register contains the GLINTD bit. This is
the Global Interrupt Disable bit. When this bit is set, all
interrupts are disabled. This bit is part of the controller
core functionality and is described in the Section 6.4.
When an interrupt is responded to, the GLINTD bit is
automatically set to disable any further interrupts, the
return address is pushed onto the stack and the PC is
loaded with the interrupt vector address. There are f our
interrupt vectors. Each vector address is for a specific
interrupt source (except the peripheral interrupts which
all vector to the same address). These sources are:
• External interrupt from the RA0/INT pin
• TMR0 Overflow
• T0CKI edge occurred
• Any peripheral interrupt
When program execution vectors to one of these inter-
rupt vector addresses (except for the peripheral interrupts), the interrupt flag bit is automatically cleared.
Vectoring to the peripheral interrupt vector address
does not automatically clear the source of the interrupt.
In the peripheral interrupt service routine, the source(s)
of the interrupt can be determined by testing the interrupt flag bits. The interrupt flag bit(s) must be cleared
in software before re-enabling interrupts to avoid infinite interrupt requests.
When an interrupt condition is met, that individual interrupt flag bit will be set regardless of the status of its corresponding mask bit or the GLINTD bit.
For external interrupt events, there will be an interrupt
latency. For two cycle instructions, the latency could
be one instruction cycle longer.
The “return from interrupt” instruction, RETFIE, can be
used to mark the end of the interrupt service routine.
When this instruction is executed, the stack is “POPed”,
and the GLINTD bit is cleared (to re-enable interrupts).

6.1Interrupt Status Register (INTSTA)
The Interrupt Status/Control register (INTST A) contains
the flag and enable bits for non-peripheral interrupts.
The PEIF bit is a read only , bit wise OR of all the peripheral flag bits in the PIR registers (Figure 6-5 and
Figure 6-6).
Note:All interrupt flag bits get set by their speci-
fied condition, even if the corresponding
interrupt enable bit is clear (interrupt disabled) or the GLINTD bit is set (all interrupts disabled).
Care should be taken when clearing any of the INTSTA
register enable bits when interrupts are enabled
(GLINTD is clear). If any of the INTSTA flag bits (T0IF ,
INTF, T0CKIF, or PEIF) are set in the same instruction
cycle as the corresponding interrupt enable bit is
cleared, the device will vector to the reset address
(0x00).
Prior to disabling any of the INTSTA enable bits, the
GLINTD bit should be set (disabled).

6.4Interrupt Operation
Global Interrupt Disable bit, GLINTD (CPUSTA<4>),
enables all unmasked interrupts (if clear) or disables all
interrupts (if set). Individual interrupts can be disabled
through their corresponding enable bits in the INTSTA
register. Peripheral interrupts need either the global
peripheral enable PEIE bit disabled, or the specific
peripheral enable bit disabled. Disabling the peripherals via the global peripheral enable bit, disables all
peripheral interrupts. GLINTD is set on reset (interrupts
disabled).
The RETFIE instruction clears the GLINTD bit while
forcing the Program Counter (PC) to the value loaded
at the Top of Stack.
When an interrupt is responded to, the GLINTD bit is
automatically set to disable any further interrupt, the
return address is pushed onto the stack and the PC is
loaded with the interrupt vector. There are four interrupt vectors which help reduce interrupt latency.
The peripheral interrupt vector has multiple interrupt
sources. Once in the peripheral interrupt service routine, the source(s) of the interrupt can be determined by
polling the interrupt flag bits. The peripheral interrupt
flag bit(s) must be cleared in software before
re-enabling interrupts to avoid continuous interrupts.
The PIC17C7XX devices have four interrupt vectors.
These vectors and their hardware priority are shown in
Table 6-1. If tw o enabled interrupts occur “at the same
time”, the interrupt of the highest priority will be serviced first. This means that the vector address of that
interrupt will be loaded into the program counter (PC).

6.5RA0/INT Interrupt
The external interrupt on the RA0/INT pin is edge triggered. Either the rising edge, if the INTEDG bit
(T0ST A<7>) is set, or the f alling edge, if the INTEDG bit
is clear. When a valid edge appears on the RA0/INT
pin, the INTF bit (INTSTA<4>) is set. This interrupt can
be disabled by clearing the INTE control bit
(INTSTA<0>). The INT interrupt can wake the processor from SLEEP. See Section 17.4 for details on
SLEEP operation.
6.6T0CKI Interrupt
The external interrupt on the RA1/T0CKI pin is edge
triggered. Either the rising edge, if the T0SE bit
(T0STA<6>) is set, or the falling edge, if the T0SE bit is
clear. When a valid edge appears on the RA1/T0CKI
pin, the T0CKIF bit (INTSTA<6>) is set. This interrupt
can be disabled by clearing the T0CKIE control bit
(INTSTA<2>). The T0CKI interrupt can wake up the
processor from SLEEP. See Section 17.4 for details on
SLEEP operation.
6.7Peripheral Interrupt
The peripheral interrupt flag indicates that at least one
of the peripheral interrupts occurred (PEIF is set). The
PEIF bit is a read only bit, and is a bit wise OR of all the
flag bits in the PIR registers AND’ed with the corresponding enable bits in the PIE registers. Some of the
peripheral interrupts can wake the processor from
SLEEP. See Section 17.4 for details on SLEEP operation.
6.8Context Saving During Interrupts
During an interrupt, only the returned PC value is saved
on the stack. Typically, users ma y wish to sav e ke y registers during an interrupt; e.g. WREG, ALUSTA and the
BSR registers. This requires implementation in software.
Example 6-2 shows the saving and restoring of infor-
mation for an interrupt service routine. This is for a simple interrupt scheme, where only one interrupt may
occur at a time (no interrupt nesting). The SFRs are
stored in the non-banked GPR area.
Example 6-2 shows the saving and restoring of infor-
mation for a more complex interrupt service routine.
This is useful where nesting of interrupts is required. A
maximum of 6 levels can be done by this example. The
BSR is stored in the non-banked GPR area, while the
other registers would be stored in a particular bank.
Therefore 6 saves ma y be done with this routine (since
there are 6 non-banked GPR registers). These routines require a dedicated indirect addressing register,
FSR0 to be selected for this.
The PUSH and POP code segments could either be in
each interrupt service routine or could be subroutines
that were called. Depending on the application, other
registers may also need to be saved.
EXAMPLE 6-1:SAVING STATUS AND WREG IN RAM (SIMPLE)

7.0MEMORY ORGANIZATION
There are two memory blocks in the PIC17C7XX; program memory and 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
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.
7.1Program Memory Organization
PIC17C7XX devices have a 16-bit program counter
capable of addressing a 64K x 16 program memory
space. The reset vector is at 0000h and the interrupt
vectors are at 0008h, 0010h, 0018h, and 0020h
(Figure 7-1).
7.1.1PROGRAM MEMORY OPERATION
The PIC17C7XX can operate in one of four possible
program memory configurations. The configuration is
selected by configuration bits. The possible modes
are:
• Microprocessor
• Microcontroller
• Extended Microcontroller
• Protected Microcontroller
The microcontroller and protected microcontroller
modes only allow internal execution. Any access
beyond the program memory reads unknown data.
The protected microcontroller mode also enables the
code protection feature.
The extended microcontroller mode accesses both
the internal program memory as well as external program memory. Execution automatically switches
between internal and external memory. The 16-bits of
address allow a program memory range of 64K-words.
The microprocessor mode only accesses the exter-
nal program memory. The on-chip program memory is
ignored. The 16-bits of address allo w a prog ram memory range of 64K-words. Microprocessor mode is the
default mode of an unprogrammed device.
The different modes allow different access to the configuration bits, test memory, and boot ROM. Table 7-1
lists which modes can access which areas in memory.
Test Memory and Boot Memory are not required for
normal operation of the device. Care should be taken
to ensure that no unintended branches occur to these
areas.

7.1.2EXTERNAL MEMORY INTERFACE
When either microprocessor or extended microcontrol-
ler mode is selected, PORTC, PORTD and P ORTE are
configured as the system bus. P ORTC and PORTD are
the multiplexed address/data bus and PORTE<2:0> is
for the control signals. External components are
needed to demultiplex the address and data. This can
be done as shown in Figure 7-4. The waveforms of
address and data are shown in Figure 7-3. For complete timings, please refer to the electrical specification
section.

7.2Data Memory Organization
Data memory is partitioned into two areas. The first is
the General Purpose Registers (GPR) area, and the
second is the Special Function Registers (SFR) area.
The SFRs control and provide status of device operation.
Portions of data memory are banked, this occurs in
both areas. The GPR area is banked to allow greater
than 232 bytes of general purpose RAM.
Banking requires the use of control bits for bank selection. These control bits are located in the Bank Select
Register (BSR). If an access is made to the unbanked
region, the BSR bits are ignored. Figure 7-5 shows the
data memory map organization.
Instructions MOVPF and MOVFP provide the means to
move values from the peripheral area (“P”) to any location in the register file (“F”), and vice-versa. The definition of the “P” range is from 0h to 1Fh, while the “F”
range is 0h to FFh. The “P” range has six more locations than peripheral registers which can be used as
General Purpose Registers. This can be useful in
some applications where variables need to be copied
to other locations in the general purpose RAM (such as
saving status information during an interrupt).
The entire data memory can be accessed either
directly or indirectly (through file select registers FSR0
and FSR1) (Section 7.4). Indirect addressing uses the
appropriate control bits of the BSR for accesses into
the banked areas of data memory. The BSR is
explained in greater detail in Section 7.8.
7.2.1GENERAL PURPOSE REGISTER (GPR)
All devices have some amount of GPR area. The GPRs
are 8-bits wide. When the GPR area is greater than
232, it must be banked to allow access to the additional
memory space.
All the PIC17C7XX devices have banked memory in
the GPR area. To facilitate switching between these
banks, the MOVLR bank instruction has been added to
the instruction set. GPRs are not initialized by a
Power-on Reset and are unchanged on all other resets.
7.2.2SPECIAL FUNCTION REGISTERS (SFR)
The SFRs are used by the CPU and peripheral func-
tions to control the operation of the device (Figure 7-5).
These registers are static RAM.
The SFRs can be classified into two sets, those associated with the “core” function and those related to the
peripheral functions. Those registers related to the
“core” are described here, while those related to a
peripheral feature are described in the section for each
peripheral feature.
The peripheral registers are in the banked portion of
memory, while the core registers are in the unbanked
region. To facilitate switching between the peripheral
banks, the MOVLB bank instruction has been provided.

7.2.2.1ALU STATUS REGISTER (ALUSTA)
The ALUSTA register contains the status bits of the
Arithmetic and Logic Unit and the mode control bits for
the indirect addressing register.
As with all the other registers, the ALUSTA register can
be the destination for any instruction. If the ALUSTA
register is the destination for an instruction that affects
the Z, DC, C, or OV bits, then the write to these three
bits is disabled. These bits are set or cleared according
to the device logic. Therefore, the result of an instruction with the ALUSTA register as destination may be
different than intended.
For example, the CLRF ALUSTA, F instruction will clear
the upper four bits and set the Z bit. This leaves the
ALUST A register as 0000u1uu (where u = unchanged).
It is recommended, therefore, that only BCF, BSF , SWAPF
and MOVWF instructions be used to alter the ALUSTA
register because these instructions do not affect any
status bits. To see how other instructions affect the status bits, see the “Instruction Set Summary.”
Note 1: The C and DC bits operate as a borrow
and digit borrow bit, respectively, in subtraction. See the SUBLW and SUBWF
instructions for examples.
Note 2: The overflow bit will be set if the 2’s com-
plement result exceeds +127 or is less
than -128.
The Arithmetic and Logic Unit (ALU) is capable of carrying out arithmetic or logical operations on two operands or a single operand. All single operand
instructions operate either on the WREG register or the
given file register. For two operand instructions, one of
the operands is the WREG register and the other is
either a file register or an 8-bit immediate constant.

7.2.2.2CPU STATUS REGISTER (CPUSTA)
The CPUSTA register contains the status and control
bits for the CPU. This register has a bit that is used to
globally enable/disable interrupts. If only a specific
interrupt is desired to be enabled/disabled, please refer

PIC17C7XX
7.3Stack Operation
PIC17C7XX devices have a 16 x 16-bit hardware stac k
(Figure 7-1). The stack is not part of either the program
or data memory space, and the stack pointer is neither
readable nor writable. The PC (Program Counter) is
“PUSHed” onto the stack when a CALL or LCALL
instruction is executed or an interrupt is acknowledged.
The stack is “POPed” in the event of a RETURN, RETLW,
or a RETFIE instruction execution. PCLATH is not
affected by a “PUSH” or a “POP” operation.
The stack operates as a circular buffer, with the stack
pointer initialized to '0' after all resets. There is a stack
available bit (STKAV) to allow software to ensure that
the stack will not overflow. The STKAV bit is set after a
device reset. When the stack pointer equals Fh, STKA V
is cleared. When the stack pointer rolls over from Fh to
0h, the STKAV bit will be held clear until a de vice reset.
Note 1: There is not a status bit for stack under-
flow. The STKAV bit can be used to detect
the underflow which results in the stack
pointer being at the top of stack.
Note 2: 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 vector.
Note 3: After a reset, if a “POP” operation occurs
before a “PUSH” operation, the STKAV bit
will be cleared. This will appear as if the
stack is full (underflow has occurred). If a
“PUSH” operation occurs next (before
another “POP”), the STKAV bit will be
locked clear. Only a device reset will
cause this bit to set.
After the device is “PUSHed” sixteen times (without a
“POP”), the seventeenth push overwrites the value
from the first push. The eighteenth push ov erwrites the
second push (and so on).

7.4Indirect Addressing
Indirect addressing is a mode of addressing data
memory where the data memory address in the
instruction is not fixed. That is, the register that is to
be read or written can be modified by the program.
This can be useful for data tables in the data memory.
Figure 7-9 shows the operation of indirect addressing.
This depicts the moving of the value to the data memory address specified by the value of the FSR register.
Example 7-1 shows the use of indirect addressing to
clear RAM in a minimum number of instructions. A
similar concept could be used to move a defined number of bytes (block) of data to the USART transmit register (TXREG). The starting address of the block of
data to be transmitted could easily be modified by the
program.

7.4.2INDIRECT ADDRESSING OPERATION
The indirect addressing capability has been enhanced
over that of the PIC16CXX family. There are two control bits associated with each FSR register. These two
bits configure the FSR register to:
• Auto-decrement the value (address) in the FSR
after an indirect access
• Auto-increment the value (address) in the FSR
after an indirect access
• No change to the value (address) in the FSR after
an indirect access
These control bits are located in the ALUSTA register.
The FSR1 register is controlled by the FS3:FS2 bits
and FSR0 is controlled by the FS1:FS0 bits.
When using the auto-increment or auto-decrement
features, the effect on the FSR is not reflected in the
ALUSTA register. For example, if the indirect address
causes the FSR to equal '0', the Z bit will not be set.
If the FSR register contains a value of 0h, an indirect
read will read 0h (Zero bit is set) while an indirect write
will be equivalent to a NOP (status bits are not
affected).
Indirect addressing allows single cycle data transfers
within the entire data space. This is possible with the
use of the MOVPF and MOVFP instructions, where either
'p' or 'f' is specified as INDF0 (or INDF1).
If the source or destination of the indirect address is in
banked memory, the location accessed will be determined by the value in the BSR.
A simple program to clear RAM from 20h - FFh is
shown in Example 7-1.
EXAMPLE 7-1:INDIRECT ADDRESSING
7.4.1INDIRECT ADDRESSING REGISTERS
The PIC17C7XX has four registers for indirect
addressing. These registers are:
• INDF0 and FSR0
• INDF1 and FSR1
Registers INDF0 and INDF1 are not physically imple-
mented. Reading or writing to these registers activates indirect addressing, with the value in the
corresponding FSR register being the address of the
data. The FSR is an 8-bit register and allows address-

MOVWF FSR0 ; FSR0 = 20h

CPFSEQ FSR0 ; FSR0 = END_RAM+1?
GOTO LP ; NO, clear next
: ; YES, All RAM is
: ; cleared
ing anywhere in the 256-byte data memory address
range. For banked memory, the bank of memory
accessed is specified by the value in the BSR.
If file INDF0 (or INDF1) itself is read indirectly via an
FSR, all '0's are read (Zero bit is set). Similarly, if
INDF0 (or INDF1) is written to indirectly, the operation
will be equivalent to a NOP, and the status bits are not
affected.

PIC17C7XX
7.5Table Pointer (TBLPTRL and
TBLPTRH)
File registers TBLPTRL and TBLPTRH form a 16-bit
pointer to address the 64K program memory space.
The table pointer is used by instructions TABLWT and
TABLRD.
The TABLRD and the TABLWT instructions allow transfer
of data between program and data space. The table
pointer serves as the 16-bit address of the data word
within the program memory. For a more complete
description of these registers and the operation of Table
Reads and Table Writes, see Section 8.0.
7.6Table Latch (TBLATH, TBLATL)
The table latch (TBLAT) is a 16-bit register, with
TBLATH and TBLATL referring to the high and low
bytes of the register. It is not mapped into data or program memory. The table latch is used as a temporary
holding latch during data transfer between program
and data memory (see TABLRD, TABLWT, TLRD andTLWT instruction descriptions). For a more complete
description of these registers and the operation of Table
Reads and Table Writes, see Section 8.0.

PIC17C7XX
7.7Program Counter Module
The Program Counter (PC) is a 16-bit register. PCL, the
low byte of the PC, is mapped in the data memory . PCL
is readable and writable just as is any other register.
PCH is the high byte of the PC and is not directly
addressable. Since PCH is not mapped in data or program memory, an 8-bit register PCLATH (PC high
latch) is used as a holding latch for the high byte of the
PC. PCLATH is mapped into data memory. The user
can read or write PCH through PCLATH.
The 16-bit wide PC is incremented after each instruction fetch during Q1 unless:
• Modified by a GOTO, CALL, LCALL, RETURN, RETLW ,
or RETFIE instruction
• Modified by an interrupt response
• Due to destination write to PCL by an instruction
“Skips” are equivalent to a forced NOP cycle at the
skipped address.
Figure 7-10 and Figure 7-11 show the operation of the
program counter for various situations.

Using Figure 7-10, the operations of the PC and
PCLATH for different instructions are as follows:

e) RETURN

Using Figure 7-11, the operation of the PC and
PCLATH for GOTO and CALL instructions is as follows:
CALL, GOTO instructions:
A 13-bit destination address is provided in the
The read-modify-write only affects the PCL with the
result. PCH is loaded with the value in the PCLATH.
For example, ADDWF PCL will result in a jump within the
current page. If PC = 03F0h, WREG = 30h and
PCLA TH = 03h bef ore instruction, PC = 0320h after the
instruction. To accomplish a true 16-bit computed
jump, the user needs to compute the 16-bit destination
address, write the high byte to PCLATH and then write
the low value to PCL.
The following PC related operations do not change
PCLATH:
a) LCALL, RETLW, and RETFIE instructions.
b) Interrupt vector is forced onto the PC.
c) Read-modify-write instructions on PCL
(e.g. BSF PCL).

7.8Bank Select Register (BSR)
The BSR is used to switch between banks in the data
memory area (Figure 7-12). In the PIC17C7XX
devices, the entire byte is implemented. The lower nibble is used to select the peripheral register bank. The
upper nibble is used to select the general purpose
memory bank.
All the Special Function Registers (SFRs) are mapped
into the data memory space. In order to accommodate
the large number of registers, a banking scheme has
been used. A segment of the SFRs, from address 10h
to address 17h, is banked. The lower nibble of the bank
select register (BSR) selects the currently active
“peripheral bank.” Effort has been made to group the
peripheral registers of related functionality in one bank.
However , it will still be necessary to switch from bank to
bank in order to address all peripherals related to a single task. To assist this, a MOVLB bank instruction has
been included in the instruction set.
FIGURE 7-12: BSR OPERATION
BSR

(1)
The need for a large general purpose memory space
dictated a general purpose RAM banking scheme. The
upper nibble of the BSR selects the currently active
general purpose RAM bank. To assist this, a MOVLRbank instruction has been provided in the instruction
set.
If the currently selected bank is not implemented (such
as Bank 13), any read will read all '0's. Any write is
completed to the bit bucket and the ALU status bits will
be set/cleared as appropriate.
Note:Registers in Bank 15 in the Special Func-
tion Register area, are reserved for
Microchip use. Reading of registers in this
bank may cause random values to be read.

the program memory space is 16-bits wide and the
data memory space is 8-bits wide, two operations are
required to move 16-bit values to/from the data memory.
The TLWT t,f and TABLWT t,i,f instructions are
used to write data from the data memory space to the
program memory space. The TLRD t,f and
TABLRD t,i,f instructions are used to write data
from the program memory space to the data memory
space.
The program memory can be internal or external. For
the program memory access to be external, the device
needs to be operating in microprocessor or extended
microcontroller mode.
Figure 8-1 through Figure 8-4 show the operation of
these four instructions. The steps show the sequence
of operation.

8.1Table Writes to Internal Memory
A table write operation to internal memory causes a
long write operation. The long write is necessary for
programming the internal EPROM. Instruction execution is halted while in a long write cycle. The long write
will be terminated by any enabled interrupt. To ensure
that the EPROM location has been well programmed,
a minimum programming time is required (see specification #D114). Having only one interrupt enabled to
terminate the long write ensures that no unintentional
interrupts will prematurely terminate the long write.
The sequence of events for programming an internal
program memory location should be:
1. Disable all interrupt sources, except the source
to terminate EPROM program write.
2. Raise MCLR
age.
3. Clear the WDT.
4. Do the table write. The interrupt will terminate
the long write.
5. Verify the memory location (table read).
Note 1: Programming requirements must be
Note 2: If the V
/VPP pin to the programming volt-
met. See timing specification in electrical
specifications for the desired device.
Violating these specifications (including
temperature) may result in EPROM locations that are not fully programmed and
may lose their state over time.
PP requirement is not met, the
table write is a 2 cycle write and the program memory is unchanged.
8.1.1TERMINATING LONG WRITES
An interrupt source or reset are the only events that
terminate a long write operation. Terminating the long
write from an interrupt source requires that the interrupt enable and flag bits are set. The GLINTD bit only
enables the vectoring to the interrupt address.
If the T0CKI, RA0/INT, or TMR0 interrupt source is
used to terminate the long write; the interrupt flag, of
the highest priority enabled interrupt, will terminate the
long write and automatically be cleared.
Note 1: If an interrupt is pending, the TABLWT is
aborted (an NOP is executed). The
highest priority pending interrupt, from
the T0CKI, RA0/INT, or TMR0 sources
that is enabled, has its flag cleared.
Note 2: If the interrupt is not being used for the
program write timing, the interrupt
should be disabled. This will ensure that
the interrupt is not lost, nor will it terminate the long write prematurely.
If a peripheral interrupt source is used to terminate the
long write, the interrupt enable and flag bits must be
set. The interrupt flag will not be automatically cleared
upon the vectoring to the interrupt vector address.
The GLINTD bit determines whether the program will
branch to the interrupt vector when the long write is
terminated. If GLINTD is clear, the program will vector, if GLINTD is set, the program will not vector to the
interrupt address.

8.2Table Writes to External Memory
Table writes to external memory are always two-cycle
instructions. The second cycle writes the data to the
external memory location. The sequence of events for
an external memory write are the same for an internal
write.
8.2.2TABLE WRITE CODE
The “i” operand of the TABLWT instruction can specify
that the value in the 16-bit TBLPTR register is automatically incremented (for the next write). In
Example 8-1, the TBLPTR register is not automatically
incremented.
EXAMPLE 8-1:TABLE WRITE
Note:If an interrupt is pending or occurs during
the TABLWT, the two cycle table write
completes. The RA0/INT, TMR0, or
T0CKI interrupt flag is automatically
cleared or the pending peripheral interrupt is acknowledged.

The table read allows the program memory to be read.
This allows constants to be stored in the program
memory space, and retrieved into data memory when
needed. Example 8-2 reads the 16-bit value at program memory address TBLPTR. After the dummy
byte has been read from the TABLATH, the TABLATH
is loaded with the 16-bit data from program memory
address TBLPTR, and then increments the TBLPTR
value. The first read loads the data into the latch, and
can be considered a dummy read (unknown data
loaded into 'f'). INDF0 should be configured for either
auto-increment or auto-decrement.

When the table reads/writes are accessing external
memory (via the external system interface bus), the
table latch for the table reads is different from the table
latch for the table writes (see Figure 8-9).
This means that you cannot do a TABLRD instruction,
and use the values that were loaded into the table
latches for a TABLWT instruction. Any table write
sequence should use both the TLWT and then the
TABLWT instructions.

9.0HARDWARE MULTIPLIER
All PIC17C7XX devices have an 8 x 8 hardware multiplier included in the ALU of the device. By making the
multiply a hardware operation, it completes in a single
instruction cycle. This is an unsigned multiply that
gives a 16-bit result. The result is stored into the 16-bit
PRODuct register (PRODH:PRODL). The multiplier
does not affect any flags in the ALUSTA register.
Making the 8 x 8 multiplier execute in a single cycle
gives the following advantages:
• Higher computational throughput
• Reduces code size requirements for multiply algo-
rithms
The performance increase allows the device to be used
in applications previously reserved for Digital Signal
Processors.
Table 9-1 shows a performance comparison between
PIC17CXXX devices using the single cycle hardware
multiply, and performing the same function without the
hardware multiply.
Example 9-1 shows the sequence to do an 8 x 8
unsigned multiply. Only one instruction is required
when one argument of the multiply is already loaded in
the WREG register.
TABLE 9-1:PERFORMANCE COMPARISON
Example 9-2 shows the sequence to do an 8 x 8 signed
multiply. To account for the sign bits of the arguments,
each argument’s most significant bit (MSb) is tested
and the appropriate subtractions are done.
signed multiply. Equation 9-2 shows the algorithm
used. The 32-bit result is stored in four registers
RES3:RES0. To account for the sign bits of the arguments, each argument pairs most significant bit (MSb)
is tested and the appropriate subtractions are done.
PIC17C75X devices have seven I/O ports, PORTA
through PORTG. PIC17C76X devices have nine I/O
ports, PORT A through POR TJ. POR TB through PORTJ
have a corresponding Data Direction Register (DDR),
which is used to configure the port pins as inputs or outputs. Some of these ports pins are multiplexed with
alternate functions.
PORTC, PORTD, and PORTE are multiplexed with the
system bus. These pins are configured as the system
bus when the device’ s configuration bits are selected to
Microprocessor or Extended Microcontroller modes. In
the two other microcontroller modes, these pins are
general purpose I/O.
PORT A, POR TB, POR TE<3>, PORTF, PORTG and the
upper four bits of PORTH are multiplexed with the
peripheral features of the device. These peripheral f eatures are:
• Timer modules
• Capture modules
• PWM modules
• USART/SCI modules
• SSP Module
• A/D Module
• External Interrupt pin
When some of these peripheral modules are turned on,
the port pin will automatically configure to the alternate
function. The modules that do this are:
• PWM module
• SSP module
• USART/SCI module
When a pin is automatically configured as an output by
a peripheral module, the pins data direction (DDR) bit
is unknown. After disabling the peripheral module, the
user should re-initialize the DDR bit to the desired configuration.
The other peripheral modules (which require an input)
must have their data direction bits configured appropriately.
Note:A pin that is a peripheral input, can be con-
figured as an output (DDRx<y> is cleared).
The peripheral events will be determined
by the action output on the port pin.
When the device enters the "reset state" the Data
Direction registers (DDR) are forced set which will
make the I/O hi-impendance inputs. The reset state of
some peripheral modules may force the I/O to other
operations, such as analog inputs or the system bus.

PIC17C7XX
10.1PORTA Register
PORTA is a 6-bit wide latch. PORTA does not have a
corresponding Data Direction Register (DDR). Upon a
device reset, the PORTA pins are forced to be high
impedance inputs. For the RA4 and RA5 pins the
peripheral module controls the output. When a device
reset occurs, the peripheral module is disabled, so
these pins are force to be high impedance inputs.
Reading PORTA reads the status of the pins.
The RA0 pin is multiplexed with the external interrupt,
INT. The RA1 pin is multiplexed with TMR0 clock input,
RA2 and RA3 are multiplexed with the SSP functions,
and RA4 and RA5 are multiplexed with the USART1
functions. The control of RA2, RA3, RA4 and RA5 as
outputs are automatically configured by their multiplexed peripheral module.
10.1.1 USING RA2, RA3 AS OUTPUTS
The RA2 and RA3 pins are open drain outputs. To use
the RA2 and/or the RA3 pin(s) as output(s), simply
write to the PORTA register the desired value. A '0' will
cause the pin to drive low, while a '1' will cause the pin
to float (hi-impedance). An external pull-up resistor
should be used to pull the pin high. Writes to the RA2
and RA3 pins will not affect the other PORTA pins.
Note:When using the RA2 or RA3 pin(s) as out-
put(s), read-modify-write instructions
(such as BCF, BSF, BTG) on PORTA are not
recommended.
Such operations read the port pins, do the
desired operation, and then write this value
to the data latch. This may inadvertently
cause the RA2 or RA3 pins to switch from
input to output (or vice-versa).
To avoid this possibility use a shadow register for PORTA. Do the bit operations on
this shadow register and then move it to
PORTA.
Example 10-1 shows an instruction sequence to initial-
ize PORTA. The Bank Select Register (BSR) must be
selected to Bank 0 for the port to be initialized. The following example uses the MOVLB instruction to load the
BSR register for bank selection.

10.2PORTB and DDRB Registers
PORTB is an 8-bit wide bi-directional port. The corresponding data direction register is DDRB. A '1' in DDRB
configures the corresponding port pin as an input. A '0'
in the DDRB register configures the corresponding port
pin as an output. Reading PORTB reads the status of
the pins, whereas writing to PORTB will write to the port
latch.
Each of the PORTB pins has a weak internal pull-up. A
single control bit can turn on all the pull-ups. This is
done by clearing the RBPU
pull-up is automatically turned off when the port pin is
configured as an output. The pull-ups are enabled on
any reset.
PORTB also has an interrupt on change feature. Only
pins configured as inputs can cause this interrupt to
occur (i.e. any RB7:RB0 pin configured as an output is
excluded from the interrupt on change comparison).
The input pins (of RB7:RB0) are compared with the
value in the PORTB data latch. The “mismatch” outputs of RB7:RB0 are OR’ed together to set the PORTB
Interrupt Flag bit, RBIF (PIR1<7>).
(PORTA<7>) bit. The weak
This interrupt can wake the device from SLEEP. The
user, in the interrupt service routine, can clear the interrupt by:
a) Read-Wr ite PORTB (such as; MOVPF PORTB,
PORTB). This will end mismatch condition.
b) Then, clear the RBIF bit.
A mismatch condition will continue to set the RBIF bit.
Reading then writing 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 this port, allows easy
interface to a keypad and make it possible for wake-up
on key-depression. For an example, refer to Application Note AN552, “Implementing Wake-up on Keystroke.”
The interrupt on change feature is recommended for
wake-up on operations where PORTB is only used for
the interrupt on change feature and key depression
operations.
Note:On a device reset, the RBIF bit is indeter-
minate since the value in the latch may be
different than the pin.

10.3PORTC and DDRC Registers
PORTC is an 8-bit bi-directional port. The corresponding data direction register is DDRC. A '1' in DDRC configures the corresponding port pin as an input. A '0' in
the DDRC register configures the corresponding port
pin as an output. Reading PORTC reads the status of
the pins, whereas writing to PORTC will write to the
port latch. PORTC is multiplexed with the system bus.
When operating as the system bus, PORTC is the low
order byte of the address/data bus (AD7:AD0). The timing for the system bus is shown in the Electrical Specifications section.
Note:This por t is configured as the system bus
when the device’s configuration bits are
selected to Microprocessor or Extended
Example 10-3 shows an instruction sequence to initial-
ize PORTC. The Bank Select Register (BSR) must be
selected to Bank 1 for the port to be initialized. The following example uses the MOVLB instruction to load the
BSR register for bank selection.

10.4PORTD and DDRD Registers
PORTD is an 8-bit bi-directional port. The corresponding data direction register is DDRD. A '1' in DDRD configures the corresponding port pin as an input. A '0' in
the DDRD register configures the corresponding port
pin as an output. Reading PORTD reads the status of
the pins, whereas writing to PORTD will write to the
port latch. PORTD is multiplexed with the system bus.
When operating as the system bus, PORTD is the high
order byte of the address/data bus (AD15:AD8). The
timing for the system bus is shown in the Electrical
Specifications section.
Note:This por t is configured as the system bus
when the device’s configuration bits are
selected to Microprocessor or Extended
Example 10-4 shows an instruction sequence to initial-
ize PORTD. The Bank Select Register (BSR) must be
selected to Bank 1 for the port to be initialized. The following example uses the MOVLB instruction to load the
BSR register for bank selection.

10.5PORTE and DDRE Register
PORTE is a 4-bit bi-directional port. The corresponding
data direction register is DDRE. A '1' in DDRE configures the corresponding port pin as an input. A '0' in the
DDRE register configures the corresponding port pin
as an output. Reading PORTE reads the status of the
pins, whereas writing to PORTE will write to the port
latch. PORTE is multiplexed with the system bus.
When operating as the system bus, PORTE contains
the control signals for the address/data bus
(AD15:AD0). These control signals are Address Latch
Enable (ALE), Output Enable (OE
The control signals OE
and WR are active low signals.
The timing for the system bus is shown in the Electrical
Specifications section.
Note:Three pins of this por t are configured as
), and Write (WR).
Example 10-5 shows an instruction sequence to initial-
ize PORTE. The Bank Select Register (BSR) must be
selected to Bank 1 for the port to be initialized. The following example uses the MOVLB instruction to load the

PORTG is an 8-bit wide bi-directional port. The corresponding data direction register is DDRG. A '1' in
DDRG configures the corresponding port pin as an
input. A '0' in the DDRG register configures the corresponding port pin as an output. Reading PORTG
reads the status of the pins, whereas writing to
PORTG will write to the port latch.
The lower four bits of PORTG are m ultiplexed with four
channels of the 10-bit A/D converter.
The remaining bits of PORTG are multiplexed with
peripheral output and inputs. RG4 is multiplexed with
the CAP3 input, RG5 is multiplexed with the PWM3
output, RG6 and RG7 are multiplexed with the
USART2 functions.
Upon reset RG3:RG0 is automatically configured as

Note: I/O pins have protection diodes to VDD and Vss.
Any instruction which writes, operates internally as a
read followed by a write operation. For example, the
BCF and BSF instructions read the register into the
CPU, execute 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
(e.g. 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 re-written to the data latch of this particular pin, overwriting the previous content. As long as the
pin stays in the input mode, no problem occurs. However, if bit0 is switched into output mode later on, the
content of the data latch may now be unknown.
Reading a port 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 (BCF, BSF,BTG, etc.) on a port, the value of the port pins is read,
the desired operation is performed with this value, and
the value is then written to the port latch.
Example 10-1 shows the possible effect of two sequen-
tial read-modify-write instructions on an I/O port.

in order to change the level on this pin (i.e.
“wired-or”, “wired-and”). The resulting high
output currents may damage the device.

10.10.2 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 10-20). Therefore, care must be exercised if a
write followed by a read operation is carried out on the
same I/O port. The sequence of instructions should be
such to allow the pin voltage to stabilize (load dependent) before executing the instruction that reads the
values on that I/O port. 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.

Figure 10-21 shows the I/O model which causes this
situation. As the effective capacitance (C) becomes
larger, the rise/fall time of the I/O pin increases. As the
device frequency increases or the effective capacitance increases, the possibility of this subsequent
PORTx read-modify-write instruction issue increases.
This effective capacitance includes the effects of the
board traces.
The best way to address this is to add an series resistor
at the I/O pin. This resistor allows the I/O pin to get to
the desired level before the next instruction.
The use of NOP instructions between the subsequent
PORTx read-modify-write instructions, is a lower cost
solution, but has the issue that the number of NOP
instructions is dependent on the effective capacitance
C and the frequency of the device.

This example shows a write to PORTB
followed by a read from PORTB.
Note that:
data setup time = (0.25TCY - TPD)
where TCY = instruction cycle
TPD = propagation delay
Therefore, at higher clock frequencies,
a write followed by a read may be problematic.

11.0OVERVIEW OF TIMER
RESOURCES
The PIC17C7XX has four timer modules. Each module
can generate an interrupt to indicate that an event has
occurred. These timers are called:
• Timer0 - 16-bit timer with programmable 8-bit
prescaler
• Timer1 - 8-bit timer
• Timer2 - 8-bit timer
• Timer3 - 16-bit timer
For enhanced time-base functionality, four input Captures and three Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) outputs are possible. The PWMs use the Timer1 and
Timer2 resources and the input Captures use the
Timer3 resource.
11.1Timer0 Overview
The Timer0 module is a simple 16-bit overflo w counter.
The clock source can be either the internal system
clock (Fosc/4) or an external clock.
When Timer0 uses an external clock source, it has the
flexibility to allow user selection of the incrementing
edge, rising or falling.
The Timer0 module also has a programmable prescaler. The T0PS3:T0PS0 bits (T0STA<4:1>) determine
the prescale value. TMR0 can increment at the following rates: 1:1, 1:2, 1:4, 1:8, 1:16, 1:32, 1:64, 1:128,
1:256.
Synchronization of the external clock occurs after the
prescaler. When the prescaler is used, the external
clock frequency may be higher than the device’s frequency. The maximum external frequency, on the
T0CKI pin, is 50 MHz, given the high and low time
requirements of the clock.
11.2Timer1 Overview
The Timer1 module is an 8-bit timer/counter with an
8-bit period register (PR1). When the TMR1 value rolls
over from the period match value to 0h, the TMR1IF
flag is set, and an interrupt will be generated if
enabled. In counter mode, the clock comes from the
RB4/TCLK12 pin, which can also be selected to be the
clock for the Timer2 module.
TMR1 can be concatenated with TMR2 to form a
16-bit timer. The TMR1 register is the LSB and TMR2
is the MSB. When in the 16-bit timer mode, there is a
corresponding 16-bit period register (PR2:PR1). When
the TMR2:TMR1 value rolls over from the period
match value to 0h, the TMR1IF flag is set, and an
interrupt will be generated if enabled.
11.3Timer2 Overview
The Timer2 module is an 8-bit timer/counter with an
8-bit period register (PR2). When the TMR2 value rolls
over from the period match value to 0h, the TMR2IF
flag is set, and an interrupt will be generated if
enabled. In counter mode, the clock comes from the
RB4/TCLK12 pin, which can also provide the clock for
the Timer1 module.
TMR2 can be concatenated with TMR1 to form a
16-bit timer. The TMR2 register is the MSB and TMR1
is the LSB. When in the 16-bit timer mode, there is a
corresponding 16-bit period register (PR2:PR1). When
the TMR2:TMR1 value rolls over from the period
match value to 0h, the TMR1IF flag is set, and an
interrupt will be generated if enabled.
11.4Timer3 Overview
The Timer3 module is a 16-bit timer/counter with a
16-bit period register. When the TMR3H:TMR3L value
rolls over to 0h, the TMR3IF bit is set and an interrupt
will be generated if enabled. In counter mode, the
clock comes from the RB5/TCLK3 pin.
When operating in the four capture mode, the period
registers become the second (of four) 16-bit capture
registers.
11.5Role of the Timer/Counters
The timer modules are general purpose, but have dedicated resources associated with them. TImer1 and
Timer2 are the time-bases for the three Pulse Width
Modulation (PWM) outputs, while Timer3 is the
time-base for the four input captures.

12.0TIMER0
The Timer0 module consists of a 16-bit timer/counter,
TMR0. The high byte is register TMR0H and the low
byte is register TMR0L. A software programmable 8-bit
prescaler makes Timer0 an effective 24-bit overflow
timer. The clock source is software programmable as
either the internal instruction clock or an external clock
on the RA1/T0CKI pin. The control bits for this module
are in register T0STA (Figure 12-1).

12.1Timer0 Operation
When the T0CS (T0STA<5>) bit is set, TMR0 increments on the internal clock. When T0CS is clear , TMR0
increments on the external clock (RA1/T0CKI pin). The
external clock edge can be selected in software. When
the T0SE (T0STA<6>) bit is set, the timer will increment
on the rising edge of the RA1/T0CKI pin. When T0SE
is clear, the timer will increment on the falling edge of
the RA1/T0CKI pin. The prescaler can be programmed
to introduce a prescale of 1:1 to 1:256. The timer increments from 0000h to FFFFh and rolls over to 0000h.
On overflow, the TMR0 Interrupt Flag bit (T0IF) is set.
The TMR0 interrupt can be masked by clearing the corresponding TMR0 Interrupt Enable bit (T0IE). The
TMR0 Interrupt Flag bit (T0IF) is automatically cleared
when vectoring to the TMR0 interrupt vector.
12.2Using Timer0 with External Clock
When an external clock input is used for Timer0, it is
synchronized with the internal phase clocks.
Figure 12-3 shows the synchronization of the external
clock. This synchronization is done after the prescaler.
The output of the prescaler (PSOUT) is sampled twice
in every instruction cycle to detect a rising or a falling
edge. The timing requirements for the external clock
are detailed in the electrical specification section.
12.2.1 DELAY FROM EXTERNAL CLOCK EDGE
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 TMR0 is actually
incremented. Figure 12-3 shows that this delay is
between 3T
suring the interval between two edges (e.g. period) will
be accurate within ±4T

12.3Read/Write Consideration for TMR0
Although TMR0 is a 16-bit timer/counter, only 8-bits at
a time can be read or written during a single instruction
cycle. Care must be taken during any read or write.
12.3.1 READING 16-BIT VALUE
The problem in reading the entire 16-bit value is that
after reading the low (or high) byte, its value may
change from FFh to 00h.
Example 12-1 shows a 16-bit read. To ensure a proper
read, interrupts must be disabled during this routine.
12.3.2 WRITING A 16-BIT VALUE TO TMR0
Since writing to either TMR0L or TMR0H will eff ectiv ely
inhibit increment of that half of the TMR0 in the next
cycle (following write), but not inhibit increment of the
other half, the user must write to TMR0L first and
TMR0H second in two consecutive instructions, as
shown in Example 12-2. The interrupt must be disabled. Any write to either TMR0L or TMR0H clears the
prescaler.
Timer0 has an 8-bit prescaler. The prescaler selection
is fully under software control; i.e., it can be changed
“on the fly” during program execution. Clearing the
prescaler is recommended before changing its setting.
The value of the prescaler is “unknown,” and assigning
a value that is less than the present value makes it difficult to take this unknown time into account.
The PIC17C7XX has a wealth of timers and time-based
functions to ease the implementation of control applications. These time-base functions include three PWM
outputs and four Capture inputs.
Timer1 and Timer2 are two 8-bit incrementing timers,
each with an 8-bit period register (PR1 and PR2
respectively) and separate overflow interrupt flags.
Timer1 and Timer2 can operate either as timers (increment on internal Fosc/4 clock) or as counters (increment on falling edge of external clock on pin
RB4/TCLK12). They are also software configurable to
operate as a single 16-bit timer/counter. These timers
are also used as the time-base for the PWM (Pulse
Width Modulation) modules.
Timer3 is a 16-bit timer/counter which uses the TMR3H
and TMR3L registers. Timer3 also has two additional
registers (PR3H/CA1H: PR3L/CA1L) that are configurable as a 16-bit period register or a 16-bit capture
register. TMR3 can be software configured to increment from the internal system clock (F
an external signal on the RB5/TCLK3 pin. Timer3 is the
time-base for all of the 16-bit captures.
OSC/4) or from
Six other registers comprise the Capture2, Capture3,
and Capture4 registers (CA2H:CA2L, CA3H:CA3L,
and CA4H:CA4L).
Figure 13-1, Figure 13-2, and Figure 13-3 are the con-
trol registers for the operation of Timer1, Timer2, and
Timer3, as well as PWM1, PWM2, PWM3, Capture1,
Capture2, Capture3, and Capture4.
Table 13-1 shows the Timer resource requirements for
these time-base functions. Each timer is an open
resource so that multiple functions may operate with it.

This bit indicates that the capture value had not been read from the capture register pair (CA2H:CA2L)
before the next capture ev ent occurred. The capture register retains the oldest unread capture value (last
capture before overflow). Subsequent capture events will not update the capture register with the TMR3
value until the capture register has been read (both bytes).
