2.2 DEMONSTRATION PROGRAM OPERATION

The demonstration program uses the on-board LCD to display system status data, temperature and time. The time can be set for the Real-Time Clock operation and be displayed in global time or AM/PM time. The program permits the user to select between operation modes, each with its own current consumption values. This permits users to experiment with the different Low-Power modes and XLP techniques, as well as make direct measurements. The program flowchart is shown in Figure 2-2.

DS41581A-page 16  2011 Microchip Technology Inc.

FIGURE 2-2: DEMO APPLICATION SOFTWARE FLOW

On power-up, the PIC

device will first run through its initialize process. First, it will set the device’s system clock to be configured for the custom set frequency. If no custom preferences are set, the device will be set to the program default of 4 MHz.

Next, the program will run through the Low_Power()routine, where the devices I/O ports are configured for their ideal low-current use settings. All unused interrupts are disabled. All peripherals not currently used are disabled and the device is set up to enter the lowest possible Sleep state upon execution of the SLEEP() command. The LCD is then initialized. The backlight will turn on and the display will begin to show characters. The LCD screen should welcome the user with the display “8-Bit XLP Demo Board” for two seconds. The display will then change to show a clock set to 00:00:00. This is the clock initial setup.

A – Select

B – Up

C – Down

Note 1: B is sometimes used to increment hours.

2: C is sometimes used to increment minutes 3: Holding either B or C down will increment values gradually.

The button layout to set the clock is also displayed on the screen. The clock will display either a 12-hour or 24-hour time scale, depending upon the custom preferences. If no preferences are set, the software default is a 24-hour time scale. After setting the clock, the Real Time Clock Counter (RTCC) will be initialized, enabling and using Timer1, which keeps count of time using the on-board 32 kHz oscillator crystal. The screen will display the main menu for two seconds. The program is now at the “8-Bit XLP Main Menu”.

To navigate the menus, the M [Down] and the RB1 button function is [Select]. The RB1 button is also the only button accepted as an interrupt while in SLEEP(). RB1 is used to enter and exit all three modes [Active, Conserve, Sleep]. The button layout is shown in Figure 2-3.

2.2.1 8-Bit XLP Main Menu

From the main menu location the user has four selections: Active mode, Conserve mode, Sleep mode and Settings menu.

2.2.1.1 ACTIVE MODE

In Active mode the CPU and peripherals features are on. The peripherals are still dependent upon software-based enables. In this case, the only peripherals active are the ADC used in connection with the temperature sensor or on-board POT; Timer1 used for the RTCC; Timer2 and CCP2, both used to control backlight brightness through the use of the Pulse-Width Modulator (PWM). All other peripheral features have been disabled through the INTCON, PIR and PIE registers.

Note: On the PIC18 device, the PMD registers are also referenced.

• clock time

• time standard

• alarm indicator

• brightness percentage (PWM)

• temperature value

• temperature standard

• system clock frequency

To escape Active mode the user has the option to press RB1 (Select) at any time. The user also has the option to escape Active mode if the alarm is enabled and the specified time is met. Upon exiting, the user will return to the “8-Bit XLP Main Menu”.

FIGURE 2-4: ACTIVE DISPLAY

2.2.1.2 CONSERVE MODE

In Conserve mode the CPU is off and peripherals are on. In this power-saving state, the peripherals are still active. Through this method we are able to continue monitoring the Timer1 (32 kHz) signal, which allows the clock to stay accurate. To showcase this feature upon entering the mode, the device will remain asleep until a set value of time has elapsed. The wait period before waking from Sleep determined by the user is found under [SettingsTimeWake Up].

The user can choose to wake-up every 15, 30 or 60 seconds or to not awake at all. By software default this value is 15 seconds. When the device “wakes up” from Sleep, it will run in Active mode until a set value of time has elapsed. The display period is determined by the user, found under [SettingsTimeDisplay Length]. The user can choose to have a display length of 5 or 10 seconds. If “wake up” is None, the display length will be set to 0. By software default the display length is 5 seconds.

To escape Conserve mode, the user has the option to press RB1 (Select) at any time. This feature shows a wake-up based upon an interrupt (INT1). The user also has the option to escape Conserve mode if the alarm is enabled and the specified time is met. Upon exiting, the user will return to the “8-Bit XLP Main Menu”.

2.2.1.3 SLEEP MODE

In Sleep mode, the CPU and peripherals are off. In this Power-Saving mode the device is fully asleep. The only events which can wake it from Sleep are the Watchdog Timer (WDT), Brown-out Reset (BOR), Secondary Oscillator SOSC, RTCC, ULPWU and I/O-based interrupts. In our demonstration program the WDT and BOR have been disabled in the configuration (fuses). The RTCC and ULPWU are not used in the program and should be considered disabled, and SOSC has been disabled for Sleep mode (enabled in Conserve mode).

In this mode, the device is consuming the least amount of current possible. To escape Sleep mode the user has only to press RB1 (Select) at any time; this acts as INT1, interrupts wakes the device from Sleep. It is important to remember that the SOSC has been disabled, and thus the clock is no longer keeping accurate time. Upon exiting, the user will return to the “8-Bit XLP Main Menu” and the clock will begin to count again. To return the clock to an accurate time, the user will have to set it to the correct time. (Settings  Time  Set Time).

2.2.1.4 TIME-OUT MODE

The demonstration program includes a time-out function. The time-out function is passive and thus runs in the program background while navigating the menu system. If the user fails to do an action within a minute, the system will go to Sleep until woken up by a RB1 button press. In this mode of Sleep the system will continue to keep track of time but the LCD will remain off as well as all other module functions.

The final selection under the “8-Bit XLP Main Menu” is the Settings Menu, which will take the user into the custom preference options within the demonstration program. A program symbol legend can be seen in Figure 2-5.

FIGURE 2-5:

2.2.2 Settings Menu

From the settings menu location, the user has the option to create a custom user preference for the features involved with time, frequency, temperature and the LCD. After modifying the demonstration program the user can select “Save Custom” under the settings menu to store the custom preferences to the on-board serial EEPROM. This allows the demonstration program to start with the user’s personal settings already in place at start-up.

2.2.2.1 TIME SETTINGS

Under the time settings the user has the option to set clock, toggle clock standard, set alarm, toggle alarm enable, choose wake-up intervals and choose display length when woken up.

By choosing Set Time, the user will be able to increment hours and minutes as per initial setup. Please note that if Sleep mode is entered, then Set Time has to be entered to re-adjust the clock to make it accurate.

DS41581A-page 20  2011 Microchip Technology Inc.

Under clock standard, the user has the option to toggle between [24-hour] and [12-hour] time. If [12-hour] is selected, it should reflect an accurate representation of [24-hour] time using an ‘A’ or ‘P’ display to indicated morning or evening time.

By choosing Set Alarm, the user will have the option to choose a 30 or 60 minute nap timer or to set a custom alarm time. If the user chooses Custom, a display similar to Set Time will be displayed, giving the user the option to increment hours and minutes to a desired alarm time.

The user has the option to choose to enable/disable the alarm by selecting Alarm.

Note: It is important to note that when the user chooses any of these options, the

current time on the clock is used as a starting point. This means if the clock displays 03:30:05 P, if under Set Alarm, the 30 minute nap will chime an alarm at 04:00:05 P, the 60 minute nap at 04:30:05 P, and the Custom will bring up 03:30:05 P on its display, allowing users to increment hours or minutes from that point. This will allow users to quickly set alarm times near the clock base, as well as to ensure the alarm starts from the correct time base. Sleep mode will not affect alarm set times, however, alarm times are dependent upon the clock time, so this should be taken under consideration.

If the user selects Wake-Up, it will toggle between multiple options. The wake-up feature is only used in Conserve mode. Its function is to wake the device from Sleep at the specified time periods (Wake-Up) to go into Active mode for a short period of time (Display Length), and then return back to Sleep until the set amount of time elapses again. The user has the option to select to wake-up every 15, 30 or 60 seconds; or the user can choose to not wake-up and display the active window. If the user chooses the option None for the wake-up timer, the Display Length value will be equal to 0 and will not display for any amount of time. The Display Length feature is only used in Conserve mode. Its function is to display the active display for a set amount of time of 1, 5 or 10 seconds after waking the device from Sleep.

2.2.2.2 FREQUENCY SETTINGS

Under the frequency settings the user will have the option to choose between four system frequency’s which range over multiple power usage ranges. The user can choose to run the system at: 32 kHz LFINTOSC, 500 kHz MFINTOSC, 4 MHz HFINTOSC or 32 MHz PLL. The demonstration program has been modified to allow on-the-fly change of frequency with unique delay routine and LCD write/erase values to allow best operation.

2.2.2.3 TEMPERATURE SETTINGS

Under the temperature settings the user will have the option to choose to display the temperature or to toggle the temperature standard for the Active mode display. If the user chooses the Display option, then the LCD will display the current temperature reading from the temperature sensor (U3); or by using the POT [R9], the user can see the full range of temperature readings in both Celsius and Fahrenheit temperature standards. If the user selects Type, it will toggle between the Celsius and Fahrenheit options. Whichever standard is selected under the Type option will be displayed on the active display.

Under the LCD settings the user will have the option to choose to toggle the backlight for the LCD or to adjust its brightness. If the user selects Backlight, it will toggle on or off. If the user chooses Save Custom, it will store the current Backlight status into the EEPROM for the custom user preferences. By default the demonstration program is set to ON. Note that by toggling the backlight off will reset the brightness value. If the user selects Brightness, it will allow the user to adjust the backlight brightness using the M

CLR (UP) and RB0 (DOWN) buttons. The brightness percentage (0-100) will be

displayed on the screen in Active mode.

2.2.2.5 SAVE CUSTOMS SETTINGS

If the user chooses Save Custom, all current custom settings will be written and stored to the on-board EEPROM. These custom settings will be loaded at boot-up for all future uses. These will remain the boot-up settings until Save Custom is selected again. All the default settings are listed in Figure 2-6:

Chapter 3. XLP 8-Bit Development Board Hardware

3.1 INTRODUCTION

This chapter provides a more detailed description of the hardware features of the XLP

8-Bit Development Board.

3.2 HARDWARE FEATURES

The key features of the XLP 8-bit board are listed below. They are represented in the

order given in Section 1.4 “Development Board Features” and Figure 1-1.

3.2.1 64 and 80 PIC MCU Support

The XLP 8-bit board has been designed to accommodate PIC16 and PIC18 microcontrollers through a Plug-In Module (PIM) containing the microcontroller. A wide variety of 64 and 80-pin microcontroller devices are available on Plug-In Modules through Microchip. It is recommended to check all PIM breakout schematics to the XLP schematics to compare for functionality and feature set.

3.2.1.1 FEATURES AVAILABILITY BY PIC16 AND PIC18 DEVICE FAMILY

The high degree of pin compatibility between PIC16 and PIC18 MCU devices allows both device families to be used with the XLP 8-bit board. However, there are minor differences in pin functionality when migrating from a 64-pin device to a 80-pin device requiring reconfiguration of the board and some features of the board are not available for 64-pin devices.

3.2.2 PIC16 and PIC18 Oscillator Options

The installed microcontroller has two separate oscillator circuits connected. An external oscillator of 10 MHz crystal (Y1) is supplied on board but is not used in the demonstration program. The MCU uses the internal system oscillator in the demonstration program. A second oscillator, using a 32.768 kHz crystal (Y2), functions as the Timer1 oscillator and serves as the source for the RTCC and secondary oscillator.

3.2.3 Power Options

There are (4) methods by which the 8-bit XLP board can be powered.

• USB Cable – Bus power via the USB connector (J11). This provides a nominal 5V power source, regulated to approximately 3.3V for the microcontroller and board components, through a Schottky diode and Low Dropout (LDO) regulator circuit (U2). The green power LED (D5) is illuminated when this power source is used and bus power is present.

Note: There is no USB data connectivity.

• External Power – An external, regulated DC power supply connected to the V SRC and one of the GND test points.

• J5 – Population of this jumper enables the pull-up resistor for the PIC18F87K22 SDA line, RD1, supplied to the Serial Accessory Port (SAP). Dependent upon hardware switch (SW4).

• J15 – Population of this jumper disables the ability to take current measurements from the MCU. It is recommended to connect measurement equipment to the PWR ANALYZER header pins [1 – SRC, 2 – GND], by doing this it is easy to enable/disable current measurement of the MCU.

• J16 – Population of this jumper disables the ability to take current measurements from the board. It is recommended to connect measurement equipment to the PWR ANALYZER header pins [7 – SRC, 6 – GND], by doing this it is easy to enable/disable current measurement of the board.

• J19 – Population of this jumper enables the use of the POT, R9. If left unpopulated, POT will be disabled.

• J20 – Populating this jumper on pins [1-2] will enable ADC readings from the POT. Populating this jumper on pins [2-3] will enable ADC reading from the on board MCP9700 temperature sensor. Leaving this jumper unpopulated will disable the temperature reading feature.

• J23 – Populating this jumper will enable readings for the PICtail™ IRQ from INT2 (RB2). RB2 is not used in the demonstration program, it is recommended to leave this jumper populated.

• J24 – Populating this jumper will enable readings for the PICtail IRQ from INT1 (RB1). RB1 is used in the demonstration program for the SELECT (RB1) button. Populating this jumper will prevent the on-board button switch from working correctly. SELECT (RB1) is used to wake from Sleep and basic functionality of the demonstration program. DO NOT populate this jumper if using the demonstration program.

• J25 – Populating this jumper will enable readings for the PICtail IRQ from INT0 (RB0). RB0 is used in the demonstration program for the DOWN (RB0) button. Populating this jumper will prevent the on-board button switch from working correctly. DOWN (RB0) is used for basic functionality of the demonstration program. DO NOT populate this jumper if using the demonstration program.

• J27 – Populating this jumper will enable the LEDs. The LEDs are not used in the demonstration program.

3.2.5 SAP SDA Select Switch

There is an on-board hardware switch (SW4) included to allow multiple PIC MCU architecture functionality on the board. The switch allows the user to choose if a PIC16 or PIC18 device is being used. By toggling the switch, the user is selecting which pin sends SDA signal to the on-board SAP. It is important to note that even with the switch toggled, jumpers J4 or J5 are still required to be populated, depending upon which device is being used.

3.2.6 User-Defined Switches

Three push buttons switches (SW1/MCLR, SW2, SW3) are provided for user-defined digital inputs. They are connected to the I/O pins, M pressed, they pull the respective port pin to ground. Using these switches requires that the corresponding pins internal weak pull-ups be enabled. When the switches are not required, the pull-ups can be disabled; this adds the ability to reduce power consumption in software.

3.2.7 User-Defined LEDs

The board features seven green LEDs [D8 – D1] (RA5, RB5, RB4, RE7, RE6, RE5 and RE4) that can serve as user-defined outputs. The LEDs are not used in the demonstration software and, by default, jumper J27 is unpopulated, preventing the LEDs use.

3.2.8 Potentiometer

A 100 kΩ potentiometer (R9) is connected to AN3 for both MCU devices. It can be

adjusted from V

The potentiometer functions to show the full capable range of the temperature display. Its functionality is dependent upon J19 and J20 configuration.

3.2.9 16x2 Character LCD with Controller and Backlight

The board includes the NHD‐C0216CZ‐FSW‐FBW‐3V3 from Newhaven Display International. The screen features the ability to write 2 lines x 16 characters, runs at 3 V with a 3V backlight display supported by two side White LEDs used for backlight.

3.2.10 Serial EEPROM

A 24AA256 256 KB (32 Kbytes x 8) serial EEPROM (U1) is connected to SPI for both the PIC16(L)F1947 64-pin and PIC18F87K22 80-pin devices. It is used to demonstrate SPI bus operation. It is included for nonvolatile firmware storage, in addition to the internal data EEPROM of the PIC16 and PIC18 devices.

DD to VSS to provide an analog input voltage to the A/D Converter.

3.2.11 Modular Expansion Connector

The XLP 8-bit board implements a 28-pin modular expansion interface (J21).

This modular expansion is in place to allow use with some PICtail™ interface available on many Microchip demo and development boards. It may not implement the full range of signals supported by some PICtail interfaces; the connector pin assignments for J21

are shown in Appendix 1. “Development Board Schematics”. It is recommended

users reference the schematic before using a PICtail™ expansion on the board. This additional modular expansion allows the user to incorporate other Microchip demo boards or all expansion of peripheral features through use of the expansion interface.

3.2.12 Serial Accessory Port

The XLP 8-bit board supports the expansion and use of a serial connection. The SAP supports the outputs of (TX, V Through the use of SW4 and J4/J5 the user has the ability to output a signal which can be recognized through UART, SAP, or I upon the SAP PROTOCOL switch (S1).

3.2.13 Temperature Sensor

The MCP9700 Low-Power Linear Active Thermistor IC supports a range of -40°C to +125°C and operates between the range of 2.3V and 5.5V, consuming typically 6 uA current when active. The temperature sensor’s output is read by the MCU through pin RA3 if jumper J20 is set to pins [2-3].

3.2.14 Generous Prototyping Area

To assist in the development and testing of application hardware, the XLP board includes a 24 x 11 prototype area for the installation of the user’s custom circuitry. Sources for the board power V from 19 different I/O signals, the prototyping area supplies a wide range of possible features which can be tested and experimented with from the prototyping area.

DD and ground are located above the area. Supplied

3.2.15 Programming Interfaces

The PICkit header (J3) can be used by either the PICkit™ 2 or PICkit™ 3 programming devices. Through use of the PICkit 3 the user is capable of debugging the included demonstration software or creating and debugging custom software in use with the 8-bit XLP.

3.3 CURRENT MEASUREMENT

An advantage to the XLP 8-bit board is its provisions for in-circuit current measurement. Using simple techniques and equipment, users can experiment directly with low-power hardware and software techniques, then directly measure their current consumption without introducing measurement induced artifacts. This provides a fast method of directly validating power-saving strategies. To make measurements more useful, the development board allows for the measurement of microcontroller current draw and non-microcontroller component current separately.

3.3.1 PIC16LF1947 and PIC18F87K22 Current Measurement

To measure current consumed by the PIC microcontrollers, the VMCU jumper (J15) can be removed and a current measurement cable connected to its pins. This allows the user to empirically evaluate the microcontroller’s various low-power features. Since J15 interrupts the microcontroller’s V when measurements are not being taken. To avoid starving the microcontroller’s current supply and causing low-power conditions, it may be necessary to switch the ammeter to a higher current range during programming and full-power operation. When the microcontroller is operating in a low-power state, switching to a low range will produce a more accurate measurement.

DD path, always be certain to re-install the jumper

3.3.2 Development Board Power Measurement

The VBOARD jumper (J16) allows the user to measure the current consumed by the various board components. It also permits the user to experiment with low-power techniques on a variety of commonly used components. Current measurements taken at J16 exclude current consumption from the microcontroller, ICSP™ header and the USB interface. Therefore, communications with a host PC and emulator/programmer connections do not need to be accounted for in determining an accurate current measurement, as they are not included in the first place. Since J16 interrupts the V

DD path

to the board’s other components, always be certain to re-install the jumper when measurements are not being taken.

3.3.3 Ammeter Tool Header

The XLP 8-bit board includes a special 7-pin header (J14) for current measurement. The PIC MCU VMCU and VBOARD jumpers (J15 and J16) ensure continuity of power when connecting or disconnecting a current measurement device. Microchip provides an optional XLP Current Measurement Cable (part number AC002023) as a convenient way of connecting the header to an ammeter.

Note: Since the resistor is placed in series with the PIC MCU V

ing voltage drop may affect power calculations. Ensure calculations are

based on actual V

DD, instead of the supplied board voltage.
