PIC16C9XX

1.0 GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The PIC16C9XX is a family of mance, CMOS, fully-static, 8-bit microcontrollers with an integrated LCD Driver module, in the PIC16CXXX mid-range family.
All PICmicro™ microcontrollers employ an advanced RISC architecture. The PIC16CXXX microcontroller family has enhanced core features, eight-level deep stack, and multiple internal and external interrupt sources. The separate instruction and data buses of the Harvard architecture allow a 14-bit wide instruction word with the separate 8-bit wide data. 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 35 instructions (reduced instruction set) are available. Additionally, a large regis­ter set gives some of the architectural innov ations used to achieve a very high performance.
PIC16CXXX microcontrollers typically achieve a 2:1 code compression and a 4:1 speed improvement over other 8-bit microcontrollers in their class.
The PIC16C923 devices have 176 bytes of RAM and 25 I/O pins. In addition several peripheral features are available including: three timer/counters, one Cap­ture/Compare/PWM module, one serial port and one LCD module. The Synchronous Serial P ort can be con­figured as either a 3-wire Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) or the two-wire Inter-Integrated Circuit (I The LCD module features programmable multiplex mode (static, 1/2, 1/3 and 1/4) and drive bias (static and 1/3). It is capable of driving up to 32 segments and up to 4 commons. It can also drive the LCD panel while in SLEEP mode.
The PIC16C924 devices have 176 bytes of RAM and 25 I/O pins. In addition several peripheral features are available including: three timer/counters, one Cap­ture/Compare/PWM module, one serial port and one LCD module. The Synchronous Serial P ort can be con­figured as either a 3-wire Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) or the two-wire Inter-Integrated Circuit (I The LCD module features programmable multiplex mode (static, 1/2, 1/3 and 1/4) and drive bias (static and 1/3). It is capable of driving up to 32 segments and up to 4 commons. It can also drive the LCD panel while in SLEEP mode. The PIC16C924 also has an 5-channel high-speed 8-bit A/D. The 8-bit resolution is ideally suited for applications requiring low-cost analog inter­face, e.g. thermostat control, pressure sensing, and meters.
The PIC16C9XX family has special features to 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 LP oscil­lator minimizes power consumption, XT is a standard crystal, and the HS is for High Speed crystals. The SLEEP (power-down) feature provides a power saving

mode. The user can wake up the chip from SLEEP through several external and internal interrupts and reset(s).
A highly reliable Watchdog Timer with its own on-chip RC oscillator provides recovery in the event of a soft­ware lock-up.
A UV erasable CERQUAD (compatible with PLCC) packaged version is ideal for code development while the cost-effective One-Time-Programmable (OTP) ver­sion is suitable for production in any volume.
The PIC16C9XX family fits perfectly in applications ranging from handheld meters, thermostats, to home security products. The EPROM technology makes cus­tomization of application programs (LCD panels, cali­bration constants, sensor interfaces, etc.) extremely fast and conv enient. The small f ootprint packages make this microcontroller series perfect for all applications with space limitations. Low cost, low pow er, high perf or­mance, ease of use and I/O flexibility make the PIC16C9XX very versatile even in areas where no microcontroller use has been considered before (e.g. timer functions, capture and compare, PWM functions and coprocessor applications).
1.1 F
Users familiar with the PIC16C5X microcontroller family will realize that this is an enhanced version of the PIC16C5X architecture. Please refer to Appendix A for a detailed list of enhancements. Code written for the PIC16C5X can be easily ported to the PIC16CXXX family of devices (Appendix B).

2.0 PIC16C9XX DEVICE VARIETIES

A variety of frequency ranges and packaging options are available . Depending on application and production requirements, the proper device option can be selected using the information in the PIC16C9XX Product Iden­tification System section at the end of this data sheet. When placing orders, please use that page of the data sheet to specify the correct part number.
For the PIC16C9XX family, there are two device “types” as indicated in the device number:
1. C , as in PIC16 C 924. These devices have EPROM type memory and operate over the standard voltage range.
2. LC , as in PIC16 LC 924. These devices have EPROM type memory and operate over an extended voltage range.
2.1 UV Erasab
The UV erasable version, offered in CERQUAD pack­age, is optimal for prototype dev elopment and pilot pro­grams.
The UV erasable version can be erased and repro­grammed to any of the configuration modes. Microchip's PICSTART grammers both support the PIC16C9XX. Third party programmers also are available; refer to the

k-Turnaround-Production (QTP)
Devices
Microchip offers a QTP Programming Service for fac­tory production orders. This service is made available for users who choose not to program a medium to high quantity of units and whose code patterns have stabi­lized. The devices are identical to the OTP devices but with all EPROM locations and configuration options already programmed by the factory. Certain code and prototype verification procedures apply before produc­tion shipments are available. Please contact your local Microchip Technology sales office for more details.
2.4 Serializ Production (SQTP
Microchip offers a unique programming service where a few user-defined locations in each device are pro­grammed with different serial numbers. The serial num­bers may be random, pseudo-random or sequential.
Serial programming allows each device to have a unique number which can serve as an entry-code, password or ID number.

3.0 ARCHITECTURAL OVERVIEW

The high performance of the PIC16CXXX family can be attributed to a number of architectural features com­monly found in RISC microprocessors. To begin with, the PIC16CXXX uses a Harvard architecture, in which, program and data are accessed from separate memo­ries using separate buses. This improves bandwidth over traditional von Neumann architecture where pro­gram and data are fetched from the same memory using the same bus. Separating program and data buses further allows instructions to be sized differently than the 8-bit wide data word. Instruction opcodes are 14-bits wide making it possible to have all single word instructions. A 14-bit wide progr am memory access bus fetches a 14-bit instruction in a single cycle. A two-stage pipeline overlaps fetch and execution of instructions (Example 3-1). Consequently, all instruc­tions execute in a single cycle (500 ns @ 8 MHz) e xcept for program branches.
The PIC16C923 and PIC16C924 both address 4K x 14 of program memory and 176 x 8 of data memory.
The PIC16CXXX can directly or indirectly address its register files or data memory. All special function regis­ters, including the program counter, are mapped in the data memory. The PIC16CXXX 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 PIC16CXXX simple yet efficient, thus significantly reducing the learning curve.
PIC16CXXX devices contain an 8-bit ALU and working register. The ALU is a general purpose ar ithmetic unit. It performs arithmetic and Boolean functions between the data in the working register and any register file.
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. In two-operand instructions, typically one operand is the working register (W register). The other operand is a file register or an immediate con­stant. In single operand instructions, the operand is either the W register or a file register.
The W register is an 8-bit working register used f or ALU operations. It is not an addressable register.
Depending on the instruction executed, the ALU may affect the values of the Carry (C), Digit Carry (DC), and Zero (Z) bits in the STATUS register. The C and DC bits operate as a borro respectively, in subtraction. See the SUBLW and SUBWF instructions for examples.

3.1 Clocking 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, 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 is shown in Figure 3-3.

3.2 Instruction Flow/Pipelining

An “Instruction Cycle” consists of four Q cycles (Q1, Q2, Q3 and Q4). The instruction fetch and execute 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 3-1).
A fetch cycle begins with the program counter (PC) incrementing in Q1.
In the execution cycle , the fetched instruction is latched into the “Instruction Register" 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. Instruction @ address SUB_1
All instructions are single cycle, except for any program branches. These take two cycles since the fetch instruction is “flushed” from the pipeline while the new instruction is being fetched and then executed.

4.0 MEMORY ORGANIZATION

4.1 Program Memory Organization

The PIC16C9XX family has a 13-bit program counter capable of addressing an 8K x 14 program memory space.
Only the first 4K x 14 (0000h-0FFFh) is physically implemented. Accessing a location above the physi­cally implemented addresses will cause a wraparound. The reset vector is at 0000h and the interrupt vector is at 0004h.

4.2 Data Memory Organization

The data memory is partitioned into four Banks which contain the General Purpose Registers and the Special Function Registers. Bits RP1 and RP0 are the bank select bits.
RP1:RP0 (STATUS<6:5>) 11 = Bank 3 (180h-1FFh) 10 = Bank 2 (100h-17Fh) 01 = Bank 1 (80h-FFh) 00 = Bank 0 (00h-7Fh) The lower locations of each Bank are reserved for the
Special Function Registers. Above the Special Func­tion Registers are General Purpose Registers imple­mented as static RAM. All four banks contain special function registers. Some “high use” special function registers are mirrored in other banks for code reduction and quicker access.
4.2.1 GENERAL PURPOSE REGISTER FILE The register file can be accessed either directly , or indi-
rectly through the File Select Register FSR (Section 4.5).
The following General Purpose Registers are not phys­ically implemented:
• F0h-FFh of Bank 1
• 170h-17Fh of Bank 2
• 1F0h-1FFh of Bank 3 These locations are used for common access across
banks.

4.2.2.1 STATUS REGISTER The ST ATUS register, shown in Figure 4-3, contains the
arithmetic status of the ALU, the RESET status and the bank select bits for data memory.
The STATUS register can be the destination for any instruction, as with any other register. If the STATUS register is the destination for an instruction that affects the Z, DC or C bits, then the write to these three bits is disabled. These bits are set or cleared according to the device logic. Furthermore, the T writable. Therefore, the result of an instruction with the STATUS register as destination may be different than intended.
For example, CLRF STATUS will clear the upper-three bits and set the Z bit. This leaves the STATUS register as 000u u1uu (where u = unchanged).
O and PD bits are not
It is recommended, therefore, that only BCF, BSF, SWAPF and MOVWF instructions are used to alter the STATUS register because these instructions do not affect the Z, C or DC bits from the STA TUS register. For other instructions, not affecting any 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.

4.3 PCL and PCLATH

The program counter (PC) is 13-bits wide. The lo w byte comes from the PCL register, which is a readable and writable register. The upper bits (PC<12:8>) are not readable, but are indirectly writable through the PCLATH register. On an y reset, the upper bits of the PC will be cleared. Figure 4-9 sho ws the two situations for the loading of the PC. The upper example in the figure shows how the PC is loaded on a write to PCL (PCLATH<4:0> → PCH). The lower example in the fig- ure shows how the PC is loaded during a CALL or GOTO instruction (PCLATH<4:3> PCH).

Note 1: There are no status bits to indicate stack
overflow or stack underflow conditions.
Note 2: There are no instructions/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 address.

4.4 Program Memory Paging

PIC16C9XX devices are capable of addressing a con­tinuous 8K word block of program memory. The CALL and GOTO instructions provide only 11 bits of address to allow branching within any 2K program memory page. When doing a CALL or GOTO instruction the upper 2 bits of the address are provided by PCLATH<4:3>. When doing a CALL or GOTO instruc­tion, the user must ensure that the page select bits are programmed so that the desired program memory page is addressed. If a return from a CALL instruction (or interrupt) is executed, the entire 13-bit PC is pushed onto the stack. Therefore, manipulation of the PCLATH<4:3> bits are not required for the return instructions (which POPs the address from the stack).
Note: The PIC16C9XX ignores paging bit
PCLATH<4>, which is used to access pro­gram memory pages 2 and 3. The use of PCLATH<4> as a general purpose read/write bit is not recommended since this may affect upward compatibility with future products.
4.3.1 COMPUTED GOTO A computed GOT O is accomplished by adding an offset
to the program counter (ADDWF PCL). When doing a table read using a computed GOTO method, care should be exercised if the tab le location crosses a PCL memory boundary (each 256 byte block). Refer to the application note
“Implementing a Table Read”
(AN556).
4.3.2 STACK The PIC16CXXX family has an 8 level deep x 13-bit
wide hardware stack. The stack space is not part of either program or data space and the stack pointer is not readable or writable. The PC is PUSHed onto the stack when a CALL instruction is executed or an inter­rupt causes a branch. The stack is POPed in the event of a RETURN, RETLW or a RETFIE instruction execu­tion. PCLATH is not affected by a PUSH or POP oper­ation.
The stack operates as a circular buff er . This means that after the stack has been PUSHed eight times, the ninth push overwrites the value that was stored from the first push. The tenth push overwrites the second push (and so on).
1997 Microchip Technology Inc. DS30444E - page 29
PIC16C9XX
Example 4-1 shows the calling of a subroutine in page 1 of the program memory . This example assumes that PCLA TH is sa ved and restored by the interrupt ser­vice routine (if interrupts are used).

4.5 Indirect Addressing, INDF and FSR Registers
The INDF register is not a physical register . Addressing the INDF register will cause indirect addressing.
Indirect addressing is possible by using the INDF reg­ister. Any instruction using the INDF register actually accesses the register pointed to by the File Select Reg­ister (FSR). Reading the INDF register itself indirectly (FSR = '0') will produce 00h. Writing to the INDF regis­ter indirectly results in a no-operation (although status bits may be affected). An effective 9-bit address is obtained by concatenating the 8-bit FSR register and the IRP bit (STATUS<7>), as shown in Figure 4-10.
A simple program to clear RAM locations 20h-2Fh using indirect addressing is shown in Example 4-2.

5.0 PORTS

Some pins for these ports are multiplexed with an alter­nate function for the peripheral features on the device. In general, when a peripheral is enabled, that pin may not be used as a general purpose I/O pin.

5.1 PORTA and TRISA Register

The RA4/T0CKI pin is a Schmitt Trigger input and an open drain output. All other RA port pins hav e TTL input levels and full CMOS output drivers. All RA pins have data direction bits (TRISA register) which can configure these pins as output or input.
Setting a bit in the TRISA register puts the correspond­ing output driver in a hi-impedance mode. Clearing a bit in the TRISA register puts the contents of the output latch on the selected pin.
Reading the PORTA register reads the status of the pins whereas writing to it will write to the port latch. All write operations are read-modify-write operations. Therefore, a write to a port implies that the port pins are read, this value is modified, and then written to the port data latch.
Pin RA4 is multiplexed with the Timer0 module clock input to become the RA4/T0CKI pin.
For the PIC16C924 only, other PORTA pins are multi­plexed with analog inputs and the analog V The operation of each pin is selected by clearing/set­ting the control bits in the ADCON1 register (A/D Con­trol Register1).

5.2 PORTB and TRISB Register

PORTB is an 8-bit wide bi-directional port. The corre­sponding data direction register is TRISB. Setting a bit in the TRISB register puts the corresponding output driver in a hi-impedance input mode. Clearing a bit in the TRISB register puts the contents of the output latch on the selected pin(s).

Each of the PORTB pins has a weak internal pull-up. A single control bit can turn on all the pull-ups. This is performed by clearing bit RBPU
(OPTION<7>). The weak pull-up is automatically turned off when the port pin is configured as an output. The pull-ups are also dis­abled on a Power-on Reset.

Four of PORTB’s pins, RB7:RB4, have an interrupt on change feature. Only pins configured as inputs can cause this interrupt to occur (i.e. an y RB7:RB4 pin con­figured as an output is excluded from the interrupt on change comparison). The input pins (of RB7:RB4) are compared with the old value latched on the last read of
PORTB. The “mismatch” outputs of RB7:RB4 are OR’ed together to generate the RB Port Change Inter­rupt with flag bit RBIF (INTCON<0>).
This interrupt can wake the device from SLEEP. The user, in the interrupt service routine, can clear the inter­rupt in the following manner:
a) Any read or write of PORTB. This will end the
mismatch condition.
b) Clear flag bit RBIF. A mismatch condition will continue to set flag bit RBIF.
Reading PORTB will end the mismatch condition, and allow flag bit RBIF to be cleared.
This interrupt on mismatch feature, together with soft­ware configurable pull-ups on these four pins allow easy interface to a keypad and make it possible for wake-up on key-depression. Refer to the
Embedded Control Handbook, "Implementing Wake-Up on Key Stroke"
(AN552).
The interrupt on change feature is recommended for wake-up on key depression operation and operations where PORTB is only used for the interrupt on change feature. Polling of PORTB is not recommended while using the interrupt on change feature.

5.3 PORTC and TRISC Register

PORTC is an 6-bit bi-directional port. Each pin is indi­vidually configurable as an input or output through the TRISC register. PORTC is multiplexed with several peripheral functions (Table 5-5). PORTC pins have Schmitt Trigger input buffers.
When enabling peripheral functions, care should be taken in defining TRIS bits for each PORTC pin. Some peripherals override the TRIS bit to make a pin an out­put, while other peripherals override the TRIS bit to make a pin an input. Since the TRIS bit override is in effect while the peripheral is enabled, read-mod­ify-write instructions (BSF, BCF, XORWF) with TRISC as destination should be avoided. The user should ref er to the corresponding peripheral section for the correct TRIS bit settings.

5.4 PORTD and TRISD Registers

PORTD is an 8-bit port with Schmitt Trigger input buff­ers. The first five pins are configurable as general pur­pose I/O pins or LCD segment drivers. Pins RD5, RD6 and RD7 can be digital inputs or LCD segment or com­mon drivers.
TRISD controls the direction of pins RD0 through RD4 when PORTD is configured as a digital port.
Note: On a Power-on Reset these pins are con-
figured as LCD segment drivers.
Note: To configure the pins as a digital port, the
corresponding bits in the LCDSE register must be cleared. Any bit set in the LCDSE register overrides any bit settings in the corresponding TRIS register.

5.8 I/O Programming Considerations

5.8.1 BI-DIRECTIONAL I/O PORTS Any instruction which writes, operates internally as a
read followed by a write operation. The BCF and BSF instructions, for example, read the register into the CPU, ex ecute 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 rewritten 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 . Ho we ver, if bit0 is switched into output mode later on, the contents of the data latch may now be unknown.
Reading the port register, 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 (ex. BCF, BSF) on a por t, the value of the port pins is read, the desired operation is done to this value, and this value is then written to the port latch.
Example 5-8 shows the effect of two sequential read-modify-write instructions on an I/O port.
EXAMPLE 5-8: READ-MODIFY-WRITE
INSTRUCTIONS ON AN I/O PORT
;Initial PORT settings: PORTB<7:4> Inputs ; PORTB<3:0> Outputs ;PORTB<7:6> have external pull-ups and are ;not connected to other circuitry ; ; PORT latch PORT pins ; ---------- --------­ BCF PORTB, 7 ; 01pp pppp 11pp pppp BCF PORTB, 6 ; 10pp pppp 11pp pppp BCF STATUS, RP1 ; BSF STATUS, RP0 ; BCF TRISB, 7 ; 10pp pppp 11pp pppp BCF TRISB, 6 ; 10pp pppp 10pp pppp ; ;Note that the user may have expected the ;pin values to be 00pp ppp. The 2nd BCF ;caused RB7 to be latched as the pin value ;(high).
A pin actively outputting a Low or High should not be driven from external devices at the same time in order to change the level on this pin (“wired-or”, “wired-and”). The resulting high output currents may damage the chip.
5.8.2 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 5-11). 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 the next instruction which causes that file to be read into the CPU is executed. 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.

6.0 OVERVIEW OF TIMER MODULES

Each module can generate an interrupt to indicate that an event has occurred (e.g. timer overflow). Each of these modules is explained in full detail in the follo wing sections. The timer modules are:
• Timer0 Module (Section 7.0)
• Timer1 Module (Section 8.0)
• Timer2 Module (Section 9.0)

6.1 Timer0 Overview

The Timer0 module is a simple 8-bit timer/counter. The clock source can be either the internal system clock (Fosc/4) or an external clock. When the clock source is an external clock, the Timer0 module can be selected to increment on either the rising or falling edge.
The Timer0 module also has a programmable prescaler option. This prescaler can be assigned to either the Timer0 module or the Watchdog Timer. Bit PSA (OPTION<3>) assigns the prescaler, and bits PS2:PS0 (OPTION<2:0>) determine the prescaler value. Timer0 can increment at the following rates: 1:1 when pres­caler assigned to Watchdog timer, 1:2, 1:4, 1:8, 1:16, 1:32, 1:64, 1:128, and 1:256.
Synchronization of the external clock occurs after the prescaler. When the prescaler is used, the external clock frequency may be higher then the device’s fre­quency. The maximum frequency is 50 MHz, given the high and low time requirements of the clock.
chronous Serial Port (SSP). The prescaler option allows Timer2 to increment at the following rates: 1:1, 1:4, 1:16.
The postscaler allows the TMR2 register to match the period register (PR2) a programmable number of times before generating an interrupt. The postscaler can be programmed from 1:1 to 1:16 (inclusive).

6.4 CCP Overview

The CCP module can operate in one of these three modes: 16-bit capture, 16-bit compare, or up to 10-bit Pulse Width Modulation (PWM).
Capture mode captures the 16-bit value of TMR1 into the CCPR1H:CCPR1L register pair. The capture event can be programmed for either the falling edge, rising edge, fourth rising edge, or the sixteenth rising edge of the CCP1 pin.
Compare mode compares the TMR1H:TMR1L register pair to the CCPR1H:CCPR1L register pair. When a match occurs an interrupt can be generated, and the output pin CCP1 can be forced to given state (High or Low), TMR1 can be reset and star t A/D conversion. This depends on the control bits CCP1M3:CCP1M0.
PWM mode compares the TMR2 register to a 10-bit duty cycle register (CCPR1H:CCPR1L<5:4>) as well as to an 8-bit period register (PR2). When the TMR2 register = Duty Cycle register, the CCP1 pin will be forced low . When TMR2 = PR2, TMR2 is cleared to 00h, an interrupt can be generated, and the CCP1 pin (if an output) will be forced high.

6.2 Timer1 Overview

Timer1 is a 16-bit timer/counter. The clock source can be either the internal system clock (Fosc/4), an external clock, or an external crystal. Timer1 can operate as either a timer or a counter. When operating as a counter (external clock source), the counter can either operate synchronized to the device or asynchronously to the device. Asynchronous operation allows Timer1 to oper­ate during sleep, which is useful for applications that require a real-time clock as well as the power savings of SLEEP mode.
Timer1 also has a prescaler option which allows Timer1 to increment at the following rates: 1:1, 1:2, 1:4, and 1:8. Timer1 can be used in conjunction with the Cap­ture/Compare/PWM module. When used with a CCP module, Timer1 is the time-base for 16-bit capture or the 16-bit compare and must be synchronized to the device. Timer1 oscillator is also one of the clock sources for the LCD module.

6.3 Timer2 Overview

Timer2 is an 8-bit timer with a programmable prescaler and postscaler, as well as an 8-bit period register (PR2). Timer2 can be used with the CCP1 module (in PWM mode) as well as the clock source for the Syn-

7.0 TIMER0 MODULE

The Timer0 module has the following features:
• 8-bit timer/counter
• Readable and writable
• 8-bit software programmable prescaler
• Internal or external clock select
• Interrupt on overflow from FFh to 00h
• Edge select for external clock
Figure 7-1 is a simplified block diagram of the Timer0 module.
Timer mode is selected by clearing bit T0CS (OPTION<5>). In timer mode, the Timer0 module will increment every instruction cycle (without prescaler). If the TMR0 register is written, the increment is inhibited for the following two instruction cycles (Figure 7-2 and Figure 7-3). The user can work around this by writing an adjusted value to the TMR0 register.
Counter mode is selected by setting bit T0CS (OPTION<5>). In counter mode Timer0 will increment either on every rising or falling edge of pin RA4/T0CKI. The incrementing edge is determined by the Timer0 Source Edge Select bit T0SE (OPTION<4>). Clear ing
bit T0SE selects the rising edge. Restrictions on the external clock input are discussed in detail in Section 7.2.
The prescaler is mutually exclusively shared between the Timer0 module and the Watchdog Timer. The pres­caler assignment is controlled in software by control bit PSA (OPTION<3>). Clearing bit PSA will assign the prescaler to the Timer0 module. The prescaler is not readable or writable. When the prescaler is assigned to the Timer0 module, prescale values of 1:2, 1:4, ..., 1:256 are selectable. Section 7.3 details the operation of the prescaler.

7.1 Timer0 Interrupt

The TMR0 interrupt is generated when the TMR0 reg­ister overflows from FFh to 00h. This overflow sets bit T0IF (INTCON<2>). The interr upt can be masked by clearing bit T0IE (INTCON<5>). Bit T0IF must be cleared in software by the Timer0 module interrupt ser­vice routine before re-enabling this interrupt. The TMR0 interrupt cannot awaken the processor from SLEEP since the timer is shut off during SLEEP. Figure 7-4 dis­plays the Timer0 interrupt timing.

7.2 Using Timer0 with an External Clock

When an external clock input is used for Timer0, it must meet certain requirements. The requirements ensure the external clock can be synchronized with the internal phase clock (T incrementing of Timer0 after synchronization.

OSC). Also, there is a delay in the actual
caler so that the prescaler output is symmetrical. For the external clock to meet the sampling requirement, the ripple-counter must be taken into account. There­fore, it is necessary for T0CKI to have a period of at least 4Tosc (and a small RC delay of 40 ns) divided by the prescaler value. The only requirement on T0CKI high and low time is that they do not violate the mini­mum pulse width requirement of 10 ns. Refer to par am­eters 40, 41 and 42 in the electrical specification of the
When no prescaler is used, the external clock input is

The synchronization of T0CKI with the internal phase clocks is accom­plished by sampling the prescaler output on the Q2 and Q4 cycles of the internal phase clocks (Figure 7-5). Therefore, it is necessary for T0CKI to be high for at least 2Tosc (and a small RC delay of 20 ns) and low for at least 2Tosc (and a small RC delay of 20 ns). Refer to
7.2.2 TMR0 INCREMENT DELAY
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 the Timer0 mod-
ule is actually incremented. Figure 7-5 shows the delay
from the external clock edge to the timer incrementing. the electrical specification of the desired device.
When a prescaler is used, the external clock input is divided by the asynchronous ripple-counter type pres-

7.3 Prescaler

An 8-bit counter is available as a prescaler for the Timer0 module, or as a postscaler for the Watchdog Timer (Figure 7-6). For simplicity, this counter is being referred to as “prescaler” throughout this data sheet. Note that the prescaler may be used by either the Timer0 module or the WDT but not both. Thus, a pres­caler assignment for the Timer0 module means that there is no prescaler for the Watchdog Timer, and vice-versa.
When assigned to the Timer0 module, all instructions writing to the TMR0 register (e.g. CLRF 1, MOVWF 1,
BSF 1,x....etc.) will clear the prescaler count. When
assigned to WDT, a CLRWDT instruction will clear the prescaler count along with the Watchdog Timer. The prescaler is not readable or writable.
Note: Writing to TMR0 when the prescaler is
assigned to Timer0 will clear the prescaler count, but will not change the prescaler assignment.
The PSA and PS2:PS0 bits (OPTION<3:0>) determine the prescaler assignment and prescale ratio.

8.0 TIMER1 MODULE

Timer1 is a 16-bit timer/counter consisting of two 8-bit registers (TMR1H and TMR1L) which are readable and writable. The TMR1 Register pair (TMR1H:TMR1L) increments from 0000h to FFFFh and rolls over to 0000h. The TMR1 Interrupt, if enabled, is generated on overflow which is latched in interrupt flag bit TMR1IF (PIR1<0>). This interr upt can be enabled/disabled by setting/clearing TMR1 interrupt enable bit TMR1IE (PIE1<0>).
Timer1 can operate in one of two modes:
• As a timer
• As a counter The operating mode is determined by the clock select
bit, TMR1CS (T1CON<1>). In timer mode, Timer1 increments every instruction
cycle. In counter mode, it increments on every rising edge of the external clock input.
Timer1 can be turned on and off using the control bit TMR1ON (T1CON<0>).
Timer1 also has an internal “reset input”. This reset can be generated by the CCP module (Section 10.0). Figure 8-1 shows the Timer1 control register.
When the Timer1 oscillator is enabled (T1OSCEN is set), the RC1/T1OSI and RC0/T1OSO/T1CKI pins become inputs.

8.1 Timer1 Operation in Timer Mode

Timer mode is selected by clearing the TMR1CS (T1CON<1>) bit. In this mode, the input clock to the timer is Fosc/4. The synchronize control bit T1SYNC (T1CON<2>) has no effect since the internal clock is always in sync.
8.2 Timer1 Operation in Synchronized Counter Mode
Counter mode is selected by setting bit TMR1CS. In this mode the timer increments on every rising edge of clock input on pin RC1/T1OSI when bit T1OSCEN is set or pin RC0/T1OSO/T1CKI when bit T1OSCEN is cleared.
If T1SYNC synchronized with internal phase clocks. The synchro­nization is done after the prescaler stage. The pres­caler is an asynchronous ripple-counter.
In this configuration, during SLEEP mode, Timer1 will not increment even if the external clock is present, since the synchronization circuit is shut off. The pres­caler however will continue to increment.
is cleared, then the external clock input is
8.2.1 EXTERNAL CLOCK INPUT TIMING FOR SYNCHRONIZED COUNTER MODE
When an external clock input is used for Timer1 in syn­chronized counter mode, it must meet certain require­ments. The external clock requirement is due to internal phase clock (T osc) synchronization. Also, there is a delay in the actual incrementing of TMR1 after syn­chronization.
When the prescaler is 1:1, the external clock input is the same as the prescaler output. The synchronization of T1CKI with the internal phase clocks is accom­plished by sampling the prescaler output on the Q2 and Q4 cycles of the internal phase clocks. Therefore, it is necessary for T1CKI to be high for at least 2Tosc (and a small RC delay of 20 ns) and low for at least 2Tosc (and a small RC delay of 20 ns). Refer to the appropri­ate electrical specifications, parameters 45, 46, and 47.
When a prescaler other than 1:1 is used, the external clock input is divided by the asynchronous rip­ple-counter type prescaler so that the prescaler output is symmetrical. In order for the external clock to meet the sampling requirement, the ripple-counter must be taken into account. Therefore, it is necessary f or T1CKI to have a period of at least 4Tosc (and a small RC delay of 40 ns) divided by the prescaler value. The only requirement on T1CKI high and low time is that the y do not violate the minimum pulse width requirements of 10 ns). Refer to the appropriate electrical specifica­tions, parameters 40, 42, 45, 46, and 47.

8.3 Timer1 Operation in Asynchronous Counter Mode
If control bit T1SYNC (T1CON<2>) is set, the external clock input is not synchronized. The timer continues to increment asynchronous to the internal phase clocks. The timer will continue to run during SLEEP and can generate an interrupt on overflow which will wake-up the processor. However, special precautions in soft­ware are needed to read-from or write-to the Timer1 register pair (TMR1H:TMR1L) (Section 8.3.2).
In asynchronous counter mode, Timer1 cannot be used as a time-base for capture or compare operations.
8.3.1 EXTERNAL CLOCK INPUT TIMING WITH UNSYNCHRONIZED CLOCK
If control bit T1SYNC completely asynchronously. The input clock must meet certain minimum high time and low time requirements, as specified in timing parameters 45, 46, and 47.
8.3.2 READING AND WRITING TMR1 IN ASYNCHRONOUS COUNTER MODE
Reading TMR1H or TMR1L while the timer is running, from an external asynchronous clock, will ensure a valid read (taken care of in hardware). However, the user should keep in mind that reading the 16-bit timer in two 8-bit values itself poses certain problems since the timer may overflow between the reads.
For writes, it is recommended that the user simply stop the timer and write the desired values. A write conten­tion may occur by writing to the timer registers while the register is incrementing. This may produce an unpre­dictable value in the timer register.
Reading the 16-bit value requires some care. Example 8-1 is an example routine to read the 16-bit timer value. This is useful if the timer cannot be stopped.

8.4 Timer1 Oscillator

A crystal oscillator circuit is built in between pins T1OSI (input) and T1OSO (amplifier output). It is enabled by setting control bit T1OSCEN (T1CON<3>). The oscilla­tor is a low power oscillator rated up to 200 kHz. It will continue to run during SLEEP. It is primarily intended for a 32 kHz crystal. Table 8-1 shows the capacitor selection for the Timer1 oscillator.
The Timer1 oscillator is identical to the LP oscillator. The user must provide a software time delay to ensure proper oscillator start-up.

8.5 Resetting Timer1 using the CCP Trigger Output
If the CCP1 module is configured in compare mode to generate a “special event trigger" (CCP1M3:CCP1M0 = 1011), this signal will reset Timer1.
Note: The special event trigger from the CCP1
module will not set interrupt flag bit TMR1IF (PIR1<0>).
Timer1 must be configured for either timer or synchro­nized counter mode to take advantage of this f eature. If Timer1 is running in asynchronous counter mode, this

The prescaler counter is cleared on writes to the

In this mode of operation, the CCPR1H:CCPR1L regis­ters pair effectively becomes the period register for Timer1.

The Timer2 module has an 8-bit period register, PR2. TMR2 increments from 00h until it matches PR2 and then resets to 00h on the next increment cycle. PR2 is a readable and writable register . The PR2 register is set during RESET.
The match output of TMR2 goes through a 4-bit postscaler (which gives a 1:1 to 1:16 scaling inclusive) to generate a TMR2 interrupt (latched in flag bit TMR2IF, (PIR1<1>)).
Timer2 can be shut off by clearing control bit TMR2ON (T2CON<2>) to minimize power consumption.

9.1 Timer2 Prescaler and Postscaler

The prescaler and postscaler counters are cleared when any of the following occurs:
• a write to the TMR2 register
• a write to the T2CON register
• any device reset (Power-on Reset, MCLR
Reset,
or Watchdog Timer Reset)
TMR2 will not clear when T2CON is written.

9.2 Output of TMR2

The output of TMR2 (bef ore the postscaler) is fed to the Synchronous Serial Port module which optionally uses it to generate shift clock.

10.0 CAPTURE/COMPARE/PWM (CCP) MODULE

The CCP (Capture/Compare/PWM) module contains a 16-bit register which can operate as a 16-bit capture register, as a 16-bit compare register, or as a PWM master/slave duty cycle register. Table 10-1 shows the timer resources used by the CCP module.
Capture/Compare/PWM Register1 (CCPR1) is com­prised of two 8-bit registers: CCPR1L (low byte) and CCPR1H (high byte). The CCP1CON register controls the operation of CCP1. All three are readable and writ­able.
Figure 10-1 shows the CCP1CON register.
For use of the CCP module, refer to the
Control Handbook,
"Using the CCP Modules" (AN594).

10.1 Capture Mode

In Capture mode, CCPR1H:CCPR1L captures the 16-bit value of the TMR1 register when an e v ent occurs on pin RC2/CCP1 (Figure 10-2). An event is defined as:
• Every falling edge
• Every rising edge
• Every 4th rising edge
• Every 16th rising edge An event is selected by control bits CCP1M3:CCP1M0
(CCP1CON<3:0>). When a capture is made, the inter­rupt request flag bit CCP1IF (PIR1<2>) is set. It must be cleared in software. If another capture occurs before the value in register CCPR1 is read, the old captured value will be lost.
10.1.1 CCP PIN CONFIGURATION In capture mode, the RC2/CCP1 pin should be config-
ured as an input by setting the TRISC<2> bit.
Note: If the RC2/CCP1 pin is configured as an
output, a write to the port can cause a cap­ture condition.

Switching from one capture prescaler to another may generate an interrupt. Also, the prescaler counter will not be cleared, therefore the first capture may be from a non-zero prescaler. Example 10-1 shows the recom­mended method for switching between capture prescal­ers. This example also clears the prescaler counter and will not generate the “false” interrupt.

10.2 Compare Mode

In Compare mode, the 16-bit CCPR1 register value is constantly compared against the TMR1 register pair value. When a match occurs, the RC2/CCP1 pin is:
• Driven High
• Driven Low
• Remains Unchanged The action on the pin is based on the value of control
bits CCP1M3:CCP1M0 (CCP1CON<3:0>). At the same time, a compare interrupt is also generated.

10.1.3 SOFTWARE INTERRUPT When the Capture mode is changed, a false capture
interrupt may be generated. The user should keep enable bit CCP1IE (PIE1<2>) clear to avoid false inter­rupts and should clear flag bit CCP1IF following any such change in operating mode.
10.1.4 CCP PRESCALER There are four prescaler settings, specified by bits
10.2.1 CCP PIN CONFIGURATION The user must configure the RC2/CCP1 pin as an out-
put by clearing the TRISC<2> bit.
Note: Clearing the CCP1CON register will force
the RC2/CCP1 compare output latch to the default low level. This is not the data latch.
CCP1M3:CCP1M0. Whenever the CCP module is turned off, or the CCP module is not in Capture mode, the prescaler counter is cleared. This means that any reset will clear the prescaler counter.
DS30444E - page 58 1997 Microchip Technology Inc.
PIC16C9XX
10.2.1 TIMER1 MODE SELECTION
Timer1 must be running in Timer mode or Synchro­nized Counter mode if the CCP module is using the compare feature. In Asynchronous Counter mode, the compare operation may not work.
10.2.2 SOFTWARE INTERRUPT MODE
When Generate Software Interrupt is chosen, the CCP1 pin is not affected. Only a CCP interrupt is gen­erated (if enabled).
10.2.3 SPECIAL EVENT TRIGGER
In this mode, an internal hardware trigger is generated which may be used to initiate an action.
The special event trigger output of CCP1 resets the TMR1 register pair and starts an A/D conversion. This allows the CCPR1H:CCPR1L register pair to effectively be a 16-bit programmable period register for Timer1.
Note: The "special event trigger" from the CCP1
module will not set interrupt flag bit TMR1IF (PIR1<0>).

10.3 PWM Mode

In Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) mode, the CCP1 pin produces up to a 10-bit resolution PWM output. Since the CCP1 pin is multiplexed with the POR TC data latch, the TRISC<2> bit must be cleared to make the CCP1 pin an output.
Note: Clearing the CCP1CON register will force
the CCP1 PWM output latch to the default low level. This is not the PORTC I/O data latch.
Figure 10-4 shows a simplified block diagram of the CCP module in PWM mode.
For a step by step procedure on how to set up the CCP module for PWM operation, see Section 10.3.3.

OSC
(TMR2 prescale value)
PWM frequency is defined as 1 / [PWM period]. When TMR2 is equal to PR2, the following three events
occur on the next increment cycle:
• TMR2 is cleared
• The CCP1 pin is set (exception: if PWM duty cycle = 0%, the CCP1 pin will not be set)
• The PWM duty cycle is latched from CCPR1L into CCPR1H
1997 Microchip Technology Inc. DS30444E - page 59
PIC16C9XX
Note: The Timer2 postscaler (Section 9.0) is not
used in the determination of the PWM fre­quency. The postscaler could be used to have a servo update rate at a different fre­quency than the PWM output.
10.3.2 PWM DUTY CYCLE The PWM duty cycle is specified by writing to the
CCPR1L register and to the CCP1CON<5:4> bits. Up to 10-bit resolution is available: the CCPR1L contains the eight MSbs and CCP1CON<5:4> contains the two LSbs. This 10-bit value is represented by CCPR1L:CCP1CON<5:4>. The following equation is used to calculate the PWM duty cycle in time:
PWM duty cycle = (CCPR1L:CCP1CON<5:4>) • Tosc • (TMR2 prescale value)
CCPR1L and CCP1CON<5:4> can be written to at any time, but the duty cycle value is not latched into CCPR1H until after a match between PR2 and TMR2 occurs (i.e., the period is complete). In PWM mode, CCPR1H is a read-only register.
The CCPR1H register and a 2-bit internal latch are used to double buffer the PWM duty cycle. This double buffering is essential for glitchless PWM operation.
When the CCPR1H and 2-bit latch match TMR2 con­catenated with an internal 2-bit Q clock or 2 bits of the TMR2 prescaler, the CCP1 pin is cleared.

Note: If the PWM duty cycle value is longer than

Desired PWM frequency is 31.25 kHz, Fosc = 8 MHz TMR2 prescale = 1
1/31.25 kHz = [ (PR2) + 1 ] 4 1/8 MHz 1 32 µs = [ (PR2) + 1 ] 4 125 ns 1 PR2 = 63
Find the maximum resolution of the duty cycle that can be used with a 31.25 kHz frequency and 8 MHz oscilla­tor:
1/31.25 kHz = 2 32 µs = 2 256 = 2 log(256) = (PWM Resolution) log(2)
8.0 = PWM Resolution
At most, an 8-bit resolution duty cycle can be obtained from a 31.25 kHz frequency and a 8 MHz oscillator, i.e., 0 CCPR1L:CCP1CON<5:4> 255. An y value greater than 255 will result in a 100% duty cycle.
In order to achieve higher resolution, the PWM fre­quency must be decreased. In order to achieve higher PWM frequency, the resolution must be decreased.
Table 10-2 lists example PWM frequencies and resolu­tions for Fosc = 8 MHz. TMR2 prescaler and PR2 val­ues are also shown.
10.3.3 SET-UP FOR PWM OPERATION The following steps should be taken when configuring
the CCP module for PWM operation:
1. Set the PWM period by writing to the PR2 regis­ter.
2. Set the PWM duty cycle by writing to the CCPR1L register and CCP1CON<5:4> bits.
3. Make the CCP1 pin an output by clearing the TRISC<2> bit.
4. Set the TMR2 prescale value and enable Timer2 by writing to T2CON.
5. Configure the CCP module for PWM operation.

play drivers, A/D converters, etc. The SSP module can operate in one of two modes:

11.1 SPI Mode

The SPI mode allows 8-bits of data to be synchro­nously transmitted and received simultaneously. To accomplish communication, typically three pins are used:
• Serial Data Out (SDO) RC5/SDO
• Serial Data In (SDI) RC4/SDI
• Serial Clock (SCK) RC3/SCK Additionally a fourth pin may be used when in a slave
mode of operation:
• Slave Select (SS is implemented on the PIC16C924 only)
When initializing the SPI, several options need to be specified. This is done by programming the appropriate control bits in the SSPCON register (SSPCON<5:0>) and SSPSTAT<7:6>. These control bits allow the fol­lowing to be specified:
• Master Mode (SCK is the clock output)
• Slave Mode (SCK is the clock input)
• Clock Polarity (Idle state of SCK)
• Clock edge (output data on rising/falling edge of SCK)
• Clock Rate (Master mode only)
• Slave Select Mode (Slave mode only)
The SSP consists of a transmit/receive Shift Register (SSPSR) and a buffer register (SSPBUF). The SSPSR shifts the data in and out of the device, MSb first. The SSPBUF holds the data that was written to the SSPSR, until the received data is ready. Once the 8-bits of data have been received, that b yte is mov ed to the SSPBUF register. Then the buffer full detect bit BF (SSPSTAT<0>) and interrupt flag bit SSPIF (PIR1<3>) are set. This double buffering of the received data (SSPBUF) allows the next b yte to start reception before reading the data that was just received. Any write to the SSPBUF register during transmission/reception of data will be ignored, and the write collision detect bit WCOL (SSPCON<7>) will be set. User softw are must clear the WCOL bit so that it can be determined if the following write(s) to the SSPBUF register completed success­fully. When the application software is expecting to receive valid data, the SSPBUF should be read before the next byte of data to transfer is written to the SSPBUF. Buffer full bit BF (SSPSTAT<0>) indicates when SSPBUF has been loaded with the received data (transmission is complete). When the SSPBUF is read, bit BF is cleared. This data may be irrelevant if the SPI is only a transmitter. Generally the SSP Interrupt is used to determine when the transmission/reception has completed. The SSPB UF must be read and/or writ­ten. If the interrupt method is not going to be used, then software polling can be done to ensure that a write col­lision does not occur. Example 11-1 shows the loading of the SSPBUF (SSPSR) for data transmission. The shaded instruction is only required if the received data is meaningful.

The block diagram of the SSP module, when in SPI mode (Figure 11-3), shows that the SSPSR is not directly readable or writable, and can only be accessed from addressing the SSPBUF register. Additionally, the SSP status register (SSPSTAT) indicates the var ious status conditions.

To enable the serial port, SSP Enable bit, SSPEN (SSPCON<5>) must be set. To reset or reconfigure SPI mode, clear bit SSPEN, re-initialize the SSPCON reg­ister, and then set bit SSPEN. This configures the SDI, SDO, SCK, and SS
pins as serial port pins. For the pins to behave as the serial port function, they must have their data direction bits (in the TRISC register) appro­priately programmed. That is:
• SDI must have TRISC<4> set
• SDO must have TRISC<5> cleared
• SCK (Master mode) must have TRISC<3>
cleared
• SCK (Slave mode) must have TRISC<3> set
• SS
must have TRISA<5> set
Any serial port function that is not desired may be over­ridden by programming the corresponding data direc­tion (TRIS) register to the opposite value. An example would be in master mode where you are only sending data (to a display driver), then both SDI and SS
could be used as general purpose outputs by clearing their corresponding TRIS register bits.
Figure 11-4 shows a typical connection between two microcontrollers. The master controller (Processor 1) initiates the data transfer by sending the SCK signal. Data is shifted out of both shift registers on their pro­grammed clock edge, and latched on the opposite edge of the clock. Both processors should be programmed to same Clock Polarity (CKP), then both controllers would send and receive data at the same time. Whether the data is meaningful (or dummy data) depends on the application software. This leads to three scenarios for data transmission:
• Master sends data — Slave sends dummy data
• Master sends data — Slave sends data
• Master sends dummy data — Slave sends data
The master can initiate the data transfer at any time because it controls the SCK. The master deter mines when the slave (Processor 2) is to broadcast data by the firmware protocol.
In master mode the data is transmitted/received as soon as the SSPBUF register is written to. If the SPI is only going to receive, the SCK output could be disabled (programmed as an input). The SSPSR register will continue to shift in the signal present on the SDI pin at the programmed clock rate. As each byte is received, it will be loaded into the SSPBUF register as if a normal received byte (interrupts and status bits appropriately set). This could be useful in receiver applications as a “line activity monitor” mode.
In slave mode, the data is transmitted and received as the external clock pulses appear on SCK. When the last bit is latched the interrupt flag bit SSPIF (PIR1<3>) is set.
The clock polarity is selected by appropriately program­ming bit CKP (SSPCON<4>). This then would give waveforms for SPI communication as shown in Figure 11-5, Figure 11-6, and Figure 11-7 where the MSB is transmitted first. In master mode, the SPI clock rate (bit rate) is user programmable to be one of the f ol­lowing:
• F
OSC/4 (or TCY)
• F
OSC/16 (or 4 • TCY)
• F
OSC/64 (or 16 • TCY)
• Timer2 output/2 This allows a maximum bit clock frequency (at 8 MHz)
of 2 MHz. When in slave mode the external clock must meet the minimum high and low times.
In sleep mode, the slave can transmit and receive data and wake the device from sleep.

The SS pin allows a synchronous slave mode. The SPI must be in slave mode (SSPCON<3:0> = 04h) and the TRISA<5> bit must be set for the synchro­nous slave mode to be enabled. When the SS
pin is low, transmission and reception are enabled and the SDO pin is driven. When the SS
pin goes high, the SDO pin is no longer driven, even if in the middle of a transmitted byte, and becomes a floating output. External pull-up/ pull-down resistors may be desirable, depending on the application.

To emulate two-wire communication, the SDO pin can be connected to the SDI pin. When the SPI needs to operate as a receiver the SDO pin can be configured as an input. This disables transmissions from the SDO. The SDI can always be left as an input (SDI function) since it cannot create a bus conflict.

The I
C interface employs a comprehensiv e protocol to ensure reliable transmission and reception of data. When transmitting data, one device is the “master” which initiates transfer on the bus and generates the clock signals to permit that transfer, while the other device(s) acts as the “slave.” All portions of the slave protocol are implemented in the SSP module’s hard­ware, except general call support, while portions of the master protocol need to be addressed in the PIC16CXXX software. Table 11-2 defines some of the

Within this address, a bit specifies if the master wishes to read-from/write-to the slave device. The master and slave are always in opposite modes (transmitter/receiver) of operation during a data trans­fer. That is they can be thought of as operating in either of these two relations:
• Master-transmitter and Slave-receiver

11.2.1 INITIATING AND TERMINATING DATA
TRANSFER
During times of no data transfer (idle time), both the clock line (SCL) and the data line (SDA) are pulled high through the external pull-up resistors. The START and STOP conditions determine the start and stop of data transmission. The ST AR T condition is defined as a high to low transition of the SDA when the SCL is high. The STOP condition is defined as a low to high transition of the SDA when the SCL is high. Figure 11-8 shows the START and STOP conditions. The master generates these conditions for starting and terminating data trans­fer . Due to the definition of the START and STOP con­ditions, when data is being transmitted, the SDA line can only change state when the SCL line is low.

11.2.2 ADDRESSING I2C DEVICES There are two address formats. The simplest is the 7-bit
address format with a R/W complex is the 10-bit address with a R/W
bit (Figure 11-9). The more
bit (Figure 11-10). For 10-bit address format, two bytes must be transmitted with the first five bits specifying this to be a 10-bit address.

11.2.3 TRANSFER ACKNOWLEDGE All data must be transmitted per byte, with no limit to the
number of bytes transmitted per data transfer. After each byte, the slave-receiver generates an acknowl­edge bit (A
CK) (Figure 11-11). When a slave-receiver doesn’t acknowledge the slave address or received data, the master must abort the transfer. The slave must leave SDA high so that the master can generate the STOP condition (Figure 11-8).

If the master is receiving the data (master-receiver), it generates an acknowledge signal for each received byte of data, except for the last byte. To signal the end of data to the slave-transmitter, the master does not generate an acknowledge (not acknowledge). The slave then releases the SDA line so the master can generate the STOP condition. The master can also generate the STOP condition during the acknowledge pulse for valid termination of data transfer.
If the slave needs to delay the transmission of the next byte, holding the SCL line low will f orce the master into a wait state. Data transfer continues when the slave releases the SCL line. This allo ws the slave to mo ve the received data or fetch the data it needs to transfer before allowing the clock to start. This wait state tech­nique can also be implemented at the bit level, Figure 11-12. The slave will inherently stretch the clock, when it is a transmitter, b ut will not when it is a receiver . The slave will have to clear the SSPCON<4> bit to enable clock stretching when it is a receiver.

11.2.4 MULTI-MASTER

The I
C protocol allows a system to have more than one master. This is called multi-master. When two or more masters try to transfer data at the same time, arbi­tration and synchronization occur.
11.2.4.1 ARBITRATION Arbitration takes place on the SDA line, while the SCL
line is high. The master which transmits a high when the other master transmits a low loses arbitration (Figure 11-16), and turns off its data output stage. A master which lost arbitration can generate clock pulses until the end of the data byte where it lost arbitration. When the master devices are addressing the same device, arbitration continues into the data.

11.2.4.2 Clock Synchronization Clock synchronization occurs after the devices have
started arbitration. This is performed using a wired-AND connection to the SCL line. A high to low transition on the SCL line causes the concerned devices to start counting off their low period. Once a device clock has gone low, it will hold the SCL line low until its SCL high state is reached. The lo w to high tran­sition of this clock may not change the state of the SCL line, if another device clock is still within its low period. The SCL line is held low by the device with the longest low period. Devices with shorter low periods enter a high wait-state, until the SCL line comes high. When the SCL line comes high, all devices start counting off their high periods. The first device to complete its high period will pull the SCL line low. The SCL line high time is determined by the device with the shortest high period, Figure 11-17.

Masters that also incorporate the slave function, and have lost arbitration must immediately switch over to slave-receiver mode . This is because the winning mas­ter-transmitter may be addressing it.
Arbitration is not allowed between:
• A repeated START condition
• A STOP condition and a data bit
• A repeated START condition and a STOP condi-
tion
Care needs to be taken to ensure that these conditions do not occur.

11.3 SSP I2C Operation

The SSP module in I2C mode fully implements all slave functions, except general call support, and provides interrupts on start and stop bits in hardware to facilitate firmware implementations of the master functions. The SSP module implements the standard mode specifica­tions as well as 7-bit and 10-bit addressing. Two pins are used for data transfer . These are the RC3/SCK/SCL pin, which is the clock (SCL), and the RC4/SDI/SDA pin, which is the data (SDA). The user must configure these pins as inputs or outputs through the TRISC<4:3> bits. The SSP module functions are enabled by setting SSP Enable bit SSPEN (SSP­CON<5>).

The SSP module has five registers for I2C operation. These are the:
• SSP Control Register (SSPCON)
• SSP Status Register (SSPSTAT)
• Serial Receive/Transmit Buffer (SSPBUF)
• SSP Shift Register (SSPSR) - Not directly acces­sible
• SSP Address Register (SSPADD)
The SSPCON register allows control of the I2C opera­tion. Four mode selection bits (SSPCON<3:0>) allow one of the following I

Selection of any I
C mode, with the SSPEN bit set, forces the SCL and SDA pins to be open drain, pro­vided these pins are programmed to inputs by setting the appropriate TRISC bits.
The SSPSTAT register gives the status of the data transfer. This information includes detection of a ST ART or STOP bit, specifies if the received byte was data or address if the next byte is the completion of 10-bit address, and if this will be a read or write data transfer. The SSPSTAT register is read only.
The SSPBUF is the register to which transfer data is written to or read from. The SSPSR register shifts the data in or out of the device. In receive operations, the SSPBUF and SSPSR create a doubled buffered receiver. This allows reception of the next byte to begin before reading the last byte of receiv ed data. When the complete byte is received, it is transferred to the SSPBUF register and flag bit SSPIF is set. If another complete byte is received before the SSPBUF register is read, a receiver overflow has occurred and bit SSPOV (SSPCON<6>) is set and the byte in the SSPSR is lost.
The SSPADD register holds the slave address. In 10-bit mode, the user needs to write the high byte of the address (1111 0 A9 A8 0). Following the high byte address match, the low byte of the address needs to be loaded (A7:A0).
1997 Microchip Technology Inc. DS30444E - page 73
PIC16C9XX
11.3.1 SLAVE MODE In slave mode, the SCL and SDA pins must be config-
ured as inputs (TRISC<4:3> set). The SSP module will override the input state with the output data when required (slave-transmitter).
When an address is matched or the data transfer after an address match is received, the hardware automati­cally will generate the acknowledge (A then load the SSPBUF register with the received value currently in the SSPSR register.
There are certain conditions that will cause the SSP module not to give this A (or both):
a) The buffer full bit BF (SSPSTAT<0>) was set
before the transfer was received.
b) The overflow bit SSPOV (SSPCON<6>) was set
before the transfer was received.
In this case, the SSPSR register value is not loaded into the SSPBUF, but bit SSPIF (PIR1<3>) is set. Table 11-3 shows what happens when a data transfer byte is received, given the status of bits BF and SSPOV. The shaded cells show the condition where user software did not properly clear the overflow condition. Flag bit BF is cleared by reading the SSPBUF register while bit SSPOV is cleared through software.
The SCL clock input must have a minimum high and low time for proper operation. The high and lo w times of

C specification as well as the requirement of the SSP module is shown in timing parameter #100 and parameter #101.
11.3.1.1 ADDRESSING Once the SSP module has been enabled, it waits for a
START condition to occur. Following the START condi­tion, the 8-bits are shifted into the SSPSR register. All incoming bits are sampled with the rising edge of the clock (SCL) line. The value of register SSPSR<7:1> is compared to the value of the SSPADD register. The

a) The SSPSR register value is loaded into the
SSPBUF register. b) The buffer full bit, BF is set. c) An A d) SSP interrupt flag bit, SSPIF (PIR1<3>) is set
In 10-bit address mode, two address bytes need to be received by the slav e (Figure 11-10). The fiv e Most Sig­nificant bits (MSbs) of the first address byte specify if this is a 10-bit address. Bit R/W specify a write so the slave device will receive the sec­ond address byte. For a 10-bit address the first byte would equal ‘1111 0 A9 A8 0 ’, where A9 and A8 are the two MSbs of the address. The sequence of events for a 10-bit address is as follows, with steps 7- 9 for slave-transmitter:
1. Receive first (high) byte of Address (bits SSPIF,

When the R/W and an address match occurs, the R/W SSPSTAT register is set. The received address is loaded into the SSPBUF register. The A sent on the ninth bit, and pin RC3/SCK/SCL is held low . The transmit data must be loaded into the SSPBUF register, which also loads the SSPSR register . Then pin RC3/SCK/SCL should be enabled by setting bit CKP (SSPCON<4>). The master must monitor the SCL pin prior to asserting another clock pulse. The slave devices may be holding off the master b y stretching the clock. The eight data bits are shifted out on the falling edge of the SCL input. This ensures that the SD A signal is valid during the SCL high time (Figure 11-20).

As a slave-transmitter, the A ter-receiver is latched on the rising edge of the ninth SCL input pulse. If the SDA line was high (not A then the data transfer is complete. When the A latched by the slave, the slave logic is reset and the slave then monitors for another occurrence of the START bit. If the SDA line was low (A data must be loaded into the SSPBUF register, which also loads the SSPSR register. Then pin RC3/SCK/SCL should be enabled by setting bit CKP.

11.3.2 MASTER MODE Master mode of operation is supported, in firmware,
using interrupt generation on the detection of the START and STOP conditions. The STOP (P) and START (S) bits are cleared from a reset or when the SSP module is disabled. The STOP and START bits will toggle based on the start and stop conditions. Control
2
of the I
C bus may be taken when the P bit is set, or the
bus is idle with both the S and P bits clear. In master mode the SCL and SDA lines are manipu-
lated by clearing the corresponding TRISC<4:3> bit(s). The output level is always low, irrespective of the value(s) in PORTC<4:3>. So when transmitting data, a '1' data bit must have the TRISC<4> bit set (input) and a '0' data bit must have the TRISC<4> bit cleared (out­put). The same scenario is true for the SCL line with the TRISC<3> bit.
The following events will cause SSP Interrupt Flag bit, SSPIF, to be set (SSP Interrupt if enabled):
• START condition
• STOP condition
• Data transfer byte transmitted/received Master mode of operation can be done with either the
slave mode idle (SSPM3:SSPM0 = 1011) or with the slave active. When both master and slave modes are enabled, the software needs to differentiate the source(s) of the interrupt.
11.3.3 MULTI-MASTER MODE In multi-master mode, the interrupt generation on the
detection of the ST ART and ST OP conditions allows the determination of when the bus is free. The STOP (P) and START (S) bits are cleared from a reset or when the SSP module is disabled. The ST OP and START bits will toggle based on the start and stop conditions. Con­trol of the I
2
C bus may be taken when bit P (SSP­STAT<4>) is set, or the bus is idle with both the S and P bits clear. When the bus is busy, enabling the SSP Interrupt will generate the interrupt when the STOP condition occurs.
In multi-master operation, the SDA line must be moni­tored to see if the signal level is the expected output level. This check only needs to be done when a high level is output. If a high le v el is expected and a lo w lev el is present, the device needs to release the SDA and SCL lines (set TRISC<4:3>). There are two stages where this arbitration can be lost, they are:
• Address Transfer
• Data Transfer When the slave logic is enabled, the sla ve continues to
receive. If arbitration was lost during the address trans­fer stage, communication to the device may be in progress. If addressed an A
CK pulse will be generated. If arbitration was lost during the data transfer stage, the device will need to re-transfer the data at a later time.

12.0 ANALOG-TO-DIGITAL CONVERTER (A/D) MODULE
This section applies to the PIC16C924 only.
The analog-to-digital (A/D) converter module has five inputs.
The A/D allows conversion of an analog input signal to a corresponding 8-bit digital number (refer to Applica­tion Note AN546 for use of A/D Converter). The output of the sample and hold is the input into the converter, which generates the result via successive approxima­tion. The analog reference voltage is software select­able to either the device’s A on the RA3/AN3/V unique feature of being able to operate while the de vice is in SLEEP mode.
To operate in sleep, the A/D conversion clock must be derived from the A/D’s internal RC oscillator.

VDD pin or the voltage level
The A/D module has three registers. These registers are:
• A/D Result Register (ADRES)
• A/D Control Register 0 (ADCON0)
• A/D Control Register 1 (ADCON1)
The ADCON0 register, shown in Figure 12-1, controls the operation of the A/D module. The ADCON1 regis­ter, shown in Figure 12-2, configures the functions of the port pins. The port pins can be configured as ana­log inputs (RA3 can also be a voltage reference) or as digital I/O.

The ADRES register contains the result of the A/D con­version. When the A/D conversion is complete, the result is loaded into the ADRES register, the GO/DONE bit (ADCON0<2>) is cleared, and A/D interrupt flag bit ADIF is set. The block diagram of the A/D module is shown in Figure 12-3.
After the A/D module has been configured as desired, the selected channel must be acquired before the con­version is started. The analog input channels must have their corresponding TRIS bits selected as an input. To determine acquisition time, see Section 12.1. After this acquisition time has elapsed the A/D conver­sion can be started. The following steps should be fol­lowed for doing an A/D conversion:
1. Configure the A/D module:
• Configure analog pins / voltage reference / and digital I/O (ADCON1)
• Select A/D input channel (ADCON0)
• Select A/D conversion clock (ADCON0)
• Turn on A/D module (ADCON0)
2. Configure A/D interrupt (if desired):
• Clear ADIF bit
• Set ADIE bit
• Set GIE bit

3. Wait the required acquisition time.
4. Start conversion:
• Set GO/DONE
5. Wait for A/D conversion to complete, by either:
• Polling for the GO/DONE OR
• Waiting for the A/D interrupt
6. Read A/D Result register (ADRES), clear bit ADIF if required.
7. For next conversion, go to step 1 or step 2 as required. The A/D conversion time per bit is defined as T required before next acquisition starts.

12.1 A/D Acquisition Requirements

For the A/D converter to meet its specified accuracy, the charge holding capacitor (C
HOLD) must be allowed
to fully charge to the input channel voltage level. The analog input model is shown in Figure 12-4. The source impedance (R

The maximum recommended impedance for ana­log sources is 10 k. After the analog input channel is
selected (changed) this acquisition must be done before the conversion can be started.
To calculate the minimum acquisition time, Equation 12-1 may be used. This equation calculates the acquisition time to within 1/2 LSb error (512 steps for the A/D). The 1/2 LSb error is the maximum error allowed for the A/D to meet its specified accuracy.

Clearing the GO/DONE bit during a conversion will abort the current conversion. The ADRES register will NOT be updated with the partially completed A/D con­version sample. That is, the ADRES register will con­tinue to contain the value of the last completed conversion (or the last value written to the ADRES reg­ister). After the A/D conversion is aborted, a 2T is required before the next acquisition is started. After this 2T

Not all applications require a result with 8-bits of reso­lution, but may instead require a f aster conv ersion time.

12.5 A/D Operation During Sleep

The A/D module can operate during SLEEP mode. This requires that the A/D clock source be set to RC (ADCS1:ADCS0 = 11). When the RC clock source is selected, the A/D module waits one instruction cycle before starting the conversion. This allows the SLEEP instruction to be executed, which eliminates all digital switching noise from the conversion. When the conver­sion is completed the GO/DONE the result loaded into the ADRES register. If the A/D interrupt is enabled, the device will wake-up from SLEEP. If the A/D interrupt is not enabled, the A/D mod­ule will then be turned off, although the ADON bit will remain set.
When the A/D clock source is another clock option (not RC), a SLEEP instruction will cause the present conver­sion to be aborted and the A/D module to be turned off, though the ADON bit will remain set.
Turning off the A/D places the A/D module in its lowest current consumption state.
Note: For the A/D module to operate in SLEEP,
the A/D clock source must be set to RC (ADCS1:ADCS0 = 11). To perform an A/D conversion in SLEEP, ensure the SLEEP instruction immediately follows the instruc­tion that sets the GO/DONE

12.6 A/D Accuracy/Error

The absolute accuracy specified for the A/D converter includes the sum of all contributions for quantization error, integral error , diff erential error , full scale error, off­set error, and monotonicity. It is defined as the maxi­mum deviation from an actual transition versus an ideal transition for any code. The absolute error of the A/D converter is specified at < ±1 LSb for V the device’s specified operating range). However, the accuracy of the A/D converter will degrade as V diverges from VREF.
For a given range of analog inputs, the output digital code will be the same. This is due to the quantization of the analog input to a digital code. Quantization error is typically ± 1/2 LSb and is inherent in the analog to dig­ital conversion process. The only way to reduce quanti­zation error is to increase the resolution of the A/D converter.
Offset error measures the first actual transition of a code versus the first ideal transition of a code. Offset error shifts the entire transfer function. Offset error can be calibrated out of a system or introduced into a sys­tem through the interaction of the total leakage current and source impedance at the analog input.
Gain error measures the maximum deviation of the last actual transition and the last ideal transition adjusted for offset error. This error appears as a change in slope of the transfer function. The difference in gain error to full
DD = VREF (over
DD
scale error is that full scale does not take offset error into account. Gain error can be calibrated out in soft­ware.
Linearity error refers to the uniformity of the code changes. Linearity errors cannot be calibrated out of the system. Integral non-linearity error measures the actual code transition versus the ideal code transition adjusted by the gain error for each code.
Differential non-linearity measures the maximum actual code width versus the ideal code width. This measure is unadjusted.
The maximum pin leakage current is ± 1 µA. In systems where the device frequency is low, use of
the A/D RC clock is preferred. At moderate to high fre­quencies, T lator. T 8 µs for preferred operation. This is because T when derived from T phase clock transitions. This reduces, to a large extent, the effects of digital switching noise . This is not possib le with the RC derived clock. The loss of accuracy due to digital switching noise can be significant if many I/O pins are active.
In systems where the device will enter SLEEP mode after the start of the A/D conversion, the RC clock source selection is required. In this mode, the digital noise from the modules in SLEEP are stopped. This method gives high accuracy.

12.7 Effects of a RESET

A device reset forces all registers to their reset state. This forces the A/D module to be turned off, and any conversion is aborted.
The value that is in the ADRES register is not modified for a Power-on Reset. The ADRES register will contain unknown data after a Power-on Reset.

12.8 Use of the CCP Trigger

An A/D conversion can be started by the “special e v ent trigger” of the CCP1 module. This requires that the CCP1M3:CCP1M0 bits (CCP1CON<3:0>) be pro­grammed as 1011 and that the A/D module is enabled (ADON bit is set). When the trigger occurs, the GO/DONE
bit will be set, starting the A/D conversion, and the Timer1 counter will be reset to zero. Timer1 is reset to automatically repeat the A/D acquisition period with minimal software overhead (moving the ADRES to the desired location). The appropriate analog input channel must be selected and the minimum acquisition done before the “special event trigger” sets the GO/DONE
bit (starts a conversion). If the A/D module is not enabled (ADON is cleared),
then the “special event trigger” will be ignored by the A/D module, but will still reset the Timer1 counter.

12.9 Connection Considerations

If the input voltage exceeds the rail v alues (VSS or VDD) by greater than 0.2V, then the accuracy of the conver­sion is out of specification.
An external RC filter is sometimes added for anti-alias­ing of the input signal. The R component should be selected to ensure that the total source impedance is kept under the 10 k recommended specification. Any external components connected (via hi-impedance) to an analog input pin (capacitor, zener diode , etc.) should have very little leakage current at the pin.

12.10 Transfer Function

The ideal transfer function of the A/D conv erter is as fol­lows: the first transition occurs when the analog input voltage (V
AIN) is Analog VREF / 256 (Figure 12-5).

13.0 LCD MODULE

The LCD module generates the timing control to drive a static or multiplexed LCD panel, with support for up to 32 segments multiplexed with up to 4 commons . It also provides control of the LCD pixel data.
The interface to the module consists of 3 control regis­ters (LCDCON, LCDSE, and LCDPS) used to define the timing requirements of the LCD panel and up to 16 LCD data registers (LCD00-LCD15) that represent the array of the pixel data. In normal operation, the control registers are configured to match the LCD panel being used. Primarily, the initialization information consists of selecting the number of commons required by the LCD panel, and then specifying the LCD Frame cloc k rate to be used by the panel.
Once the module is initialized for the LCD panel, the individual bits of the LCD data registers are cleared/set to represent a clear/dark pixel respectively.
Once the module is configured, the LCDEN (LCDCON<7>) bit is used to enable or disable the LCD module. The LCD panel can also operate during sleep by clearing the SLPEN (LCDCON<6>) bit.
Figure 13-4 through Figure 13-7 provides waveforms for Static, 1/2, 1/3, and 1/4 MUX drives.

13.1 LCD Timing

The LCD module has 3 possible clock source inputs and supports static, 1/2, 1/3, and 1/4 multiplexing.
13.1.1 TIMING CLOCK SOURCE SELECTION The clock sources for the LCD timing generation are:
• Internal RC oscillator
• Timer1 oscillator
• System clock divided by 256 The first timing source is an internal RC oscillator which
runs at a nominal frequency of 14 kHz. This oscillator provides a lower speed clock which may be used to continue running the LCD while the processor is in sleep. The RC oscillator will pow er-do wn when it is not selected or when the LCD module is disabled.

The second source is the Timer1 external oscillator. This oscillator provides a lower speed clock which ma y be used to continue running the LCD while the proces­sor is in sleep. It is assumed that the frequency pro­vided on this oscillator will be 32 kHz. To use the Timer1 oscillator as a LCD module clock source, it is only necessary to set the T1OSCEN (T1CON<3>) bit.
The third source is the system clock divided by 256. This divider ratio is chosen to provide about 32 kHz output when the external oscillator is 8 MHz. The divider is not programmable. Instead the LCDPS regis­ter is used to set the LCD frame clock rate.
All of the clock sources are selected with bits CS1:CS0 (LCDCON<3:2>). Ref er to Figure 13-1 for details of the register programming.

13.1.2 MULTIPLEX TIMING GENERATION The timing generation circuitry will generate 1 to 4 com-

13.2 LCD Interrupts

The LCD timing generation provides an interrupt that defines the LCD frame timing. This interrupt can be used to coordinate the writing of the pixel data with the start of a new frame. Wr iting pixel data at the frame boundary allows a visually crisp transition of the image. This interrupt can also be used to synchronize external events to the LCD. For example, the interface to an external segment driver, such as a Microchip AY0438, can be synchronized for segment data update to the LCD frame.
A new frame is defined to begin at the leading edge of the COM0 common signal. The interrupt will be set immediately after the LCD controller completes accessing all pixel data required for a frame. This will occur at a certain fixed time before the frame boundary as shown in Figure 13-9. The LCD controller will begin to access data for the next frame within T interrupt.

13.3 Pixel Control

13.3.1 LCDD (PIXEL DATA) REGISTERS The pixel registers contain bits which define the state of
each pixel. Each bit defines one unique pixel.
Table 13-4 shows the correlation of each bit in the LCDD registers to the respective common and seg­ment signals.
Any LCD pixel location not being used for display can be used as general purpose RAM.

13.4 Operation During Sleep

The LCD interrupt can be used to determine the frame boundary. See Section 13.2 for the formulas to calcu-
The LCD module can operate during sleep. The selec­tion is controlled by bit SLPEN (LCDCON<6>). Setting the SLPEN bit allows the LCD module to go to sleep. Clearing the SLPEN bit allows the module to continue to operate during sleep.
If a SLEEP instruction is executed and SLPEN = '1', the LCD module will cease all functions and go into a very low current consumption mode. The module will stop operation immediately and drive the minimum LCD voltage on both segment and common lines. Figure 13-11 shows this operation. To ensure that the LCD
late the delay. If a SLEEP instruction is executed and SLPEN = '0', the
module will continue to display the current contents of the LCDD registers. To allow the module to continue operation while in sleep, the clock source must be either the internal RC oscillator or Timer1 external oscillator. While in sleep, the LCD data cannot be changed. The LCD module current consumption will not decrease in this mode, however the overall con­sumption of the device will be lower due to shutdown of the core and other peripheral functions.

Note: The internal RC oscillator or external
Timer1 oscillator must be used to operate the LCD module during sleep.

13.4.1 SEGMENT ENABLES The LCDSE register is used to select the pin function
for groups of pins. The selection allows each group of pins to operate as either LCD drivers or digital only pins. To configure the pins as a digital por t, the corre­sponding bits in the LCDSE register must be cleared.
If the pin is a digital I/O the corresponding TRIS bit con­trols the data direction. Any bit set in the LCDSE regis­ter overrides any bit settings in the corresponding TRIS register.
Note 1: On a Power-on Reset these pins are con-
figured as LCD drivers.
Note 2: The LMUX1:LMUX0 takes precedence
over the LCDSE bit settings for pins RD7, RD6 and RD5.
