Note the following details of the code protection feature on Microchip devices:
•Microchip products meet the specification contained in their particular Microchip Data Sheet.
•Microchip believes that its family of products is one of the most secure families of its kind on the market today, when used in the
intended manner and under normal conditions.
•There are dishonest and possibly illegal methods used to breach the code protection feature. All of these methods, to our
knowledge, require using the Microchip products in a manner outside the operating specifications contained in Microchip’s Data
Sheets. Most likely, the person doing so is engaged in theft of intellectual property.
•Microchip is willing to work with the customer who is concerned about the integrity of their code.
•Neither Microchip nor any other semiconductor manufacturer can guarantee the security of their code. Code protection does not
mean that we are guaranteeing the product as “unbreakable.”
Code protection is constantly evolving. We at Microchip are committed to continuously improving the code protection features of our
products. Attempts to break Microchip’s code protection feature may be a violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. If such acts
allow unauthorized access to your software or other copyrighted work, you may have a right to sue for relief under that Act.
Information contained in this publication regarding device
applications and the like is provided only for your convenience

Most Current Data Sheet
To obtain the most up-to-date version of this data sheet, please register at our Worldwide Web site at:
http://www.microchip.com
You can determine the version of a data sheet by examining its literature number found on the bottom outside corner of any page.
The last character of the literature number is the version number, (e.g., DS30000A is version A of document DS30000).
Errata
An errata sheet, describing minor operational differences from the data sheet and recommended workarounds, may exist for current
devices. As device/documentation issues become known to us, we will publish an errata sheet. The errata will specify the revision
of silicon and revision of document to which it applies.
To determine if an errata sheet exists for a particular device, please check with one of the following:
• Microchip’s Worldwide Web site; http://www.microchip.com
• Your local Microchip sales office (see last page)
When contacting a sales office, please specify which device, revision of silicon and data sheet (include literature number) you are
using.
Customer Notification System

This document contains device-specific information for
the following devices:
• PIC18F2458• PIC18F4458
• PIC18F2553• PIC18F4553
Note:This data sheet documents only the
devices’ features and specifications that are
in addition to the features and specifications of the PIC18F2455/2550/4455/4550
devices. For information on the features
and specifications shared by
the PIC18F2458/2553/4458/4553 and
PIC18F2455/2550/4455/4550 devices,
see the “PIC18F2455/2550/4455/4550
Data Sheet” (DS39632).
The PIC18F4553 family of devices offers the advantages of all PIC18 microcontrollers – namely, high
computational performance at an economical price –
with the addition of high-endurance, Enhanced Flash
program memory. In addition to these features, the
PIC18F4553 family introduces design enhancements
that make these microcontrollers a logical choice for
many high-performance, power sensitive applications.
1.1Special Features
• 12-Bit A/D Converter: The PIC18F4553 family
implements a 12-bit A/D Converter. The A/D
Converter incorporates programmable acquisition time. This allows for a channel to be selected
and a conversion to be initiated, without waiting
for a sampling period and thus, reducing code
overhead.
1.2Details on Individual Family
Members
The PIC18F2458/2553/4458/4553 devices are
available in 28-pin and 40/44-pin packages. Block
diagrams for the two groups are shown in Figure 1-1
and Figure 1-2.
The devices are differentiated from each other in the
following ways:
1.Flash program memory (24 Kbytes for
PIC18FX458 devices, 32 Kbytes for
PIC18FX553).
2.A/D channels (10 for 28-pin devices, 13 for
40-pin and 44-pin devices).
3.I/O ports (3 bidirectional ports and 1 input only
port on 28-pin devices, 5 bidirectional ports on
40-pin and 44-pin devices).
4.CCP and Enhanced CCP implementation
(28-pin devices have two standard CCP
modules, 40-pin and 44-pin devices have one
standard CCP module and one ECCP module).
5.Streaming Parallel Port (present only on
40/44-pin devices).
All other features for devices in this family are identical.
These are summarized in Table 1-1.
The pinouts for all devices are listed in Table 1-2 and
Table 1-3.
Members of the PIC18F4553 family are available as
both standard and low-voltage devices. Standard
devices with Enhanced Flash memory, designated with
an “F” in the part number (such as PIC18F2458),
accommodate an operating V
Low-voltage parts, designated by “LF” (such as
PIC18LF2458), function over an extended VDD range
of 2.0V to 5.5V.
Note 1: RE3 is multiplexed with MCLR and is only available when the MCLR Resets are disabled.
2: OSC1/CLKI and OSC2/CLKO are only available in select oscillator modes and when these pins are not being used as digital I/O.
3: RB3 is the alternate pin for CCP2 multiplexing.
and is only available when the MCLR Resets are disabled.
USB
2: OSC1/CLKI and OSC2/CLKO are only available in select oscillator modes and when these pins are not being used as digital I/O.
3: These pins are only available on 44-pin TQFP packages under certain conditions.
4: RB3 is the alternate pin for CCP2 multiplexing.
ST = Schmitt Trigger input with CMOS levels I= Input
O= Output P= Power
Note 1: Alternate assignment for CCP2 when CCP2MX Configuration bit is cleared.
2: Default assignment for CCP2 when CCP2MX Configuration bit is set.
