PIC17C4X
1.0 OVERVIEW
This data sheet covers the PIC17C4X group of the
PIC17CXX family of microcontrollers. The following
devices are discussed in this data sheet:
• PIC17C42
• PIC17CR42
• PIC17C42A
• PIC17C43
• PIC17CR43
• PIC17C44
The PIC17CR42, PIC17C42A, PIC17C43,
PIC17CR43, and PIC17C44 devices include architectural enhancements over the PIC17C42. These
enhancements will be discussed throughout this data
sheet.
The PIC17C4X devices are 40/44-Pin,
EPROM/ROM-based members of the versatile
PIC17CXX family of low-cost, high-performance,
CMOS, fully-static, 8-bit microcontrollers.
All PIC16/17 microcontrollers employ an advanced
RISC architecture. The PIC17CXX has enhanced core
features, 16-level deep stack, and multiple internal and
external interrupt sources. The separate instruction and
data buses of the Harvard architecture allow a 16-bit
wide instruction word with a separate 8-bit wide data.
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 55
instructions (reduced instruction set) are available in
the PIC17C42 and 58 instructions in all the other
devices. Additionally, a large register set gives some of
the architectural innovations used to achieve a very
high performance. For mathematical intensive applications all devices, except the PIC17C42, have a single
cycle 8 x 8 Hardware Multiplier.
PIC17CXX microcontrollers typically achieve a 2:1
code compression and a 4:1 speed improvement over
other 8-bit microcontrollers in their class.
PIC17C4X devices have up to 454 bytes of RAM and
33 I/O pins. In addition, the PIC17C4X adds several
peripheral features useful in many high performance
applications including:
• Four timer/counters
• Two capture inputs
• Two PWM outputs
• A Universal Synchronous Asynchronous Receiver
Transmitter (USART)
These special features reduce external components,
thus reducing cost, enhancing system reliability and
reducing power consumption. There are four oscillator
options, of which the single pin RC oscillator provides a
low-cost solution, the LF oscillator is for low frequency
crystals and minimizes power consumption, XT is a
standard crystal, and the EC is for external clock input.
The SLEEP (power-down) mode offers additional
power saving. The user can wake-up the chip from
SLEEP through several external and internal interrupts
and device resets.
There are four configuration options for the de vice operational modes:
• Microprocessor
• Microcontroller
• Extended microcontroller
• Protected microcontroller
The microprocessor and extended microcontroller
modes allow up to 64K-words of external program
memory.
A highly reliable Watchdog Timer with its own on-chip
RC oscillator provides protection against software malfunction.
Table 1-1 lists the features of the PIC17C4X devices.
A UV-erasable CERDIP-packaged version is ideal for
code development while the cost-effective One-Time
Programmable (OTP) version is suitable for production
in any volume.
The PIC17C4X fits perfectly in applications ranging
from precise motor control and industrial process control to automotive, instrumentation, and telecom applications. Other applications that require extremely fast
execution of complex software programs or the flexibility of programming the software code as one of the last
steps of the manufacturing process would also be well
suited. The EPROM technology makes customization
of application programs (with unique security codes,
combinations, model numbers, parameter storage,
etc.) fast and convenient. Small footprint package
options make the PIC17C4X ideal for applications with
space limitations that require high performance. High
speed execution, powerful peripheral features, flexible
I/O, and low power consumption all at low cost make
the PIC17C4X ideal for a wide range of embedded control applications.
1.1 F
amily and Upward Compatibility
Those users familiar with the PIC16C5X and
PIC16CXX families of microcontrollers will see the
architectural enhancements that have been implemented. These enhancements allow the device to be
more efficient in software and hardware requirements.
Please refer to Appendix A for a detailed list of
enhancements and modifications. Code written for
PIC16C5X or PIC16CXX can be easily ported to
PIC17CXX family of devices (Appendix B).
1.2 De
velopment Support
The PIC17CXX family is supported by a full-featured
macro assembler, a software simulator, an in-circuit
emulator, a universal programmer, a “C” compiler, and
fuzzy logic support tools.

PIC17C4X
3.0 ARCHITECTURAL OVERVIEW
The high performance of the PIC17C4X can be attributed to a number of architectural features commonly
found in RISC microprocessors. To begin with, the
PIC17C4X uses a modified Harvard architecture. This
architecture has the program and data accessed from
separate memories. So the device has a program
memory bus and a data memory bus. This improves
bandwidth over traditional von Neumann architecture,
where program and data are fetched from the same
memory (accesses over the same bus). Separating
program and data memory further allows instructions to
be sized differently than the 8-bit wide data word.
PIC17C4X opcodes are 16-bits wide, enabling single
word instructions. The full 16-bit wide program memory
bus fetches a 16-bit instruction in a single cycle. A twostage pipeline overlaps fetch and execution of instructions. Consequently, all instructions execute in a single
cycle (121 ns @ 33 MHz), except for progr am branches
and two special instructions that transfer data between
program and data memory.
The PIC17C4X can address up to 64K x 16 of program
memory space.
The PIC17C42 and PIC17C42A integrate 2K x 16 of
EPROM program memory on-chip, while the
PIC17CR42 has 2K x 16 of ROM program memory on-
chip.
The PIC17C43 integrates 4K x 16 of EPROM program
memory, while the PIC17CR43 has 4K x 16 of ROM
program memory.
The PIC17C44 integrates 8K x 16 EPROM program
memory.
Program execution can be internal only (microcontroller or protected microcontroller mode), external only
(microprocessor mode) or both (extended microcontroller mode). Extended microcontroller mode does not
allow code protection.
The PIC17CXX can directly or indirectly address its
register files or data memory. All special function registers, including the Program Counter (PC) and Wor king
Register (WREG), are mapped in the data memory.
The PIC17CXX 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’ mak e prog ramming with the PIC17CXX simple
yet efficient. In addition, the learning curve is reduced
significantly.
One of the PIC17CXX family architectural enhancements from the PIC16CXX family allows two file registers to be used in some two operand instructions. This
allows data to be moved directly between two registers
without going through the WREG register. This
increases performance and decreases program memory usage.
The PIC17CXX devices contain an 8-bit ALU and working register. The ALU is a general purpose arithmetic
unit. It performs arithmetic and Boolean functions
between data in the working register and any register
file.
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.
The WREG register is an 8-bit working register used for
ALU operations.
All PIC17C4X devices (except the PIC17C42) have an
8 x 8 hardware multiplier. This multiplier generates a
16-bit result in a single cycle.
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
w and digit borrow out bit, respectively, in subtraction. See the SUBLW and SUBWF
instructions for examples.
Although the ALU does not perform signed arithmetic,
the Overflow bit (OV) can be used to implement signed
math. Signed arithmetic is comprised of a magnitude
and a sign bit. The overflow bit indicates if the magnitude overflows and causes the sign bit to change state.
Signed math can have greater than 7-bit values (magnitude), if more than one byte is used. The use of the
overflow bit only operates on bit6 (MSb of magnitude)
and bit7 (sign bit) of the value in the ALU. That is, the
overflow bit is not useful if trying to implement signed
math where the magnitude, for example, is 11-bits. If
the signed math values are greater than 7-bits (15-, 24or 31-bit), the algorithm must ensure that the low order
bytes ignore the overflow status bit.
Care should be taken when adding and subtracting
signed numbers to ensure that the correct operation is
executed. Example 3-1 shows an item that must be
taken into account when doing signed arithmetic on an
ALU which operates as an unsigned machine.
EXAMPLE 3-1: SIGNED MATH
Signed math requires the result in REG to
be FEh (-126). This would be accomplished
by subtracting one as opposed to adding
one.
Simplified block diagrams are shown in Figure 3-1 and
Figure 3-2. The descriptions of the device pins are
listed in Table 3-1.

3.1 Cloc
king Scheme/Instruction Cycle
The clock input (from OSC1) is internally divided by
four to generate four non-overlapping quadrature
clocks, namely Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4. Internally, the program counter (PC) is incremented every Q1, and the
instruction is fetched from the program memory and
latched into the instruction register in Q4. The instr uction is decoded and executed during the following Q1
through Q4. The clocks and instruction execution flow
are shown in Figure 3-3.
3.2 Instruction Flo
w/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 3-2).
A fetch cycle begins with the program counter incrementing in Q1.
In the execution cycle, the f etched instruction is latched
into the “Instruction Register (IR)” in cycle Q1. This
instruction is then decoded and executed during the
Q2, Q3, and Q4 cycles. Data memory is read during Q2
(operand read) and written during Q4 (destination
write).

PIC17C4X
4.0 RESET
The PIC17CXX differentiates between various kinds of
reset:
• Power-on Reset (POR)
• MCLR
reset during normal operation
• WDT Reset (normal operation)
Some registers are not affected in any reset condition;
their status is unknown on POR and unchanged in any
other reset. Most other registers are forced to a “reset
state” on Power-on Reset (POR), on MCLR
or WDT
Reset and on M
CLR reset during SLEEP. They are not
affected by a WDT Reset during SLEEP, since this reset
is viewed as the resumption of normal operation. The
T
O and PD bits are set or cleared differently in diff erent
reset situations as indicated in T ab le 4-3. These bits are
used in software to determine the nature of reset. See
Table 4-4 for a full description of reset states of all registers.
A simplified block diagram of the on-chip reset circuit is
shown in Figure 4-1.
Note: While the device is in a reset state, the
internal phase clock is held in the Q1 state.
Any processor mode that allows external
execution will force the RE0/ALE pin as a
low output and the RE1/OE
and RE2/WR
pins as high outputs.
4.1 P
ower-on Reset (POR), Power-up
Timer (PWRT), and Oscillator Start-up
Timer (OST)
4.1.1 POWER-ON RESET (POR)
The Power-on Reset circuit holds the device in reset
until V
DD
is above the trip point (in the range of 1.4V -
2.3V). The PIC17C42 does not produce an internal
reset when V
DD
declines. All other devices will produce
an internal reset for both rising and falling V
DD
. To take
advantage of the POR, just tie the MCLR
/V
PP
pin
directly (or through a resistor) to V
DD
. This will eliminate
external RC components usually needed to create
Power-on Reset. A minimum rise time for V
DD
is
required. See Electrical Specifications for details.
4.1.2 PO WER-UP TIMER (PWRT)
The Power-up Timer provides a fixed 96 ms time-out
(nominal) on power-up. This occurs from rising edge of
the POR signal and after the first rising edge of MCLR
(detected high). The Power-up Timer operates on an
internal RC oscillator. The chip is kept in RESET as
long as the PWRT is active. In most cases the PWRT
delay allows the V
DD
to rise to an acceptable level.
The power-up time delay will v ary from chip to chip and
to V
DD
and temperature. See DC parameters for
details.

4.1.3 OSCILLATOR START-UP TIMER (OST)
The Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) provides a 1024
oscillator cycle (1024T
OSC
) delay after MCLR
is
detected high or a wake-up from SLEEP event occurs.
The OST time-out is invoked only f or XT and LF oscilla-
tor modes on a Power-on Reset or a Wake-up from
SLEEP.
The OST counts the oscillator pulses on the
OSC1/CLKIN pin. The counter only starts incrementing
after the amplitude of the signal reaches the oscillator
input thresholds. This delay allows the crystal oscillator
or resonator to stabilize before the device exits reset.
The length of time-out is a function of the crystal/resonator frequency.
4.1.4 TIME-OUT SEQUENCE
On power-up the time-out sequence is as follows: First
the internal POR signal goes high when the POR trip
point is reached. If MCLR
is high, then both the OST
and PWRT timers start. In general the PWRT time-out
is longer, except with low frequency crystals/resonators. The total time-out also varies based on oscillator
configuration. Table 4-1 shows the times that are associated with the oscillator configuration. Figure 4-2 and
Figure 4-3 display these time-out sequences.
If the device voltage is not within electrical specification
at the end of a time-out, the MCLR
/V
PP
pin must be
held low until the voltage is within the device specification. The use of an external RC delay is sufficient for
many of these applications.
TABLE 4-1: TIME-OUT IN VARIOUS
SITUATIONS
The time-out sequence begins from the first rising edge
of MCLR
.
Table 4-3 shows the reset conditions for some special
registers, while Table 4-4 shows the initialization conditions for all the registers. The shaded registers (in
Table 4-4) are for all devices except the PIC17C42. In
the PIC17C42, the PRODH and PRODL registers are
general purpose RAM.

5.0 INTERRUPTS
The PIC17C4X devices have 11 sources of interrupt:
• External interrupt from the RA0/INT pin
• Change on RB7:RB0 pins
• TMR0 Overflow
• TMR1 Overflow
• TMR2 Overflow
• TMR3 Overflow
• USART Transmit buffer empty
• USART Receive buffer full
• Capture1
• Capture2
• T0CKI edge occurred
There are four registers used in the control and status
of interrupts. These are:
• CPUSTA
• INTSTA
• PIE
• PIR
The CPUSTA register contains the GLINTD bit. This is
the Global Interrupt Disable bit. When this bit is set, all
interrupts are disabled. This bit is par t of the controller
core functionality and is described in the Memory Organization section.
When an interrupt is responded to, the GLINTD bit is
automatically set to disable any further interrupt, the
return address is pushed onto the stack and the PC is
loaded with the interrupt vector address. There are four
interrupt vectors. Each vector address is for a specific
interrupt source (except the peripheral interrupts which
have the same vector address). These sources are:
• External interrupt from the RA0/INT pin
• TMR0 Overflow
• T0CKI edge occurred
• Any peripheral interrupt
When program execution vectors to one of these inter-
rupt vector addresses (except for the peripheral interrupt address), the interrupt flag bit is automatically
cleared. Vectoring to the peripheral interrupt vector
address does not automatically clear the source of the
interrupt. In the peripheral interrupt service routine, the
source(s) of the interrupt can be determined by testing
the interrupt flag bits. The interrupt flag bit(s) must be
cleared in software before re-enabling interrupts to
avoid infinite interrupt requests.
All of the individual interrupt flag bits will be set regardless of the status of their corresponding mask bit or the
GLINTD bit.
For external interrupt events, there will be an interrupt
latency. For two cycle instructions, the latency could be
one instruction cycle longer.
The “return from interrupt” instruction, RETFIE , can be
used to mark the end of the interrupt service routine.
When this instruction is executed, the stack is
“POPed”, and the GLINTD bit is cleared (to re-enable
interrupts).

5.1 Interrupt
Status Register (INTSTA)
The Interrupt Status/Control register (INTSTA) records
the individual interrupt requests in flag bits, and contains the individual interrupt enable bits (not for the
peripherals).
The PEIF bit is a read only , bit wise OR of all the peripheral flag bits in the PIR register (Figure 5-4).
Care should be taken when clearing any of the INTSTA
register enable bits when interrupts are enabled
(GLINTD is clear). If any of the INTSTA flag bits (T0IF,
INTF, T0CKIF, or PEIF) are set in the same instruction
cycle as the corresponding interrupt enable bit is
cleared, the device will vector to the reset address
(0x00).
When disabling any of the INTSTA enable bits, the
GLINTD bit should be set (disabled).
Note: T0IF, INTF, T0CKIF, or PEIF will be set by
the specified condition, even if the corresponding interrupt enable bit is clear (interrupt disabled) or the GLINTD bit is set (all
interrupts disabled).

Note: These bits will be set by the specified con-
dition, even if the corresponding interrupt
enable bit is cleared (interrupt disabled), or
the GLINTD bit is set (all interrupts disabled). Before enabling an interrupt, the
user may wish to clear the interrupt flag to

PIC17C4X
5.4 Interrupt
Operation
Global Interrupt Disable bit, GLINTD (CPUSTA<4>),
enables all unmasked interrupts (if clear) or disables all
interrupts (if set). Individual interrupts can be disabled
through their corresponding enable bits in the INTSTA
register. Peripheral interrupts need either the global
peripheral enable PEIE bit disabled, or the specific
peripheral enable bit disabled. Disabling the peripherals via the global peripheral enable bit, disables all
peripheral interrupts. GLINTD is set on reset (interrupts
disabled).
The RETFIE instruction allows returning from interrupt
and re-enable interrupts at the same time.
When an interrupt is responded to, the GLINTD bit is
automatically set to disable any further interrupt, the
return address is pushed onto the stack and the PC is
loaded with interrupt vector. There are four interrupt
vectors to reduce interrupt latency.
The peripheral interrupt vector has multiple interrupt
sources. Once in the peripheral interrupt service routine, the source(s) of the interrupt can be determined by
polling the interrupt flag bits. The peripheral interr upt
flag bit(s) must be cleared in software before reenabling interrupts to avoid continuous interrupts.
The PIC17C4X devices have four interrupt vectors.
These vectors and their hardware priority are shown in
Table 5-1. If two enabled interrupts occur “at the same
time”, the interrupt of the highest priority will be serviced first. This means that the vector address of that
interrupt will be loaded into the program counter (PC).

2

Note 1: Individual interrupt flag bits are set regard-
less of the status of their corresponding
mask bit or the GLINTD bit.
Note 2: When disabling any of the INTSTA enable
bits, the GLINTD bit should be set
(disabled).
Note 3: For the PIC17C42 only:
If an interrupt occurs while the Global Interrupt Disable (GLINTD) bit is being set, the
GLINTD bit may unintentionally be reenabled by the user’s Interrupt Service
Routine (the RETFIE instruction). The
events that would cause this to occur are:
1. An interrupt occurs simultaneously
with an instruction that sets the
GLINTD bit.
2. The program branches to the Interrupt
vector and executes the Interrupt Service Routine.
3. The Interrupt Service Routine completes with the execution of the RET-
FIE instruction. This causes the
GLINTD bit to be cleared (enables
interrupts), and the program returns to
the instruction after the one which was
meant to disable interrupts.
The method to ensure that interrupts are
globally disabled is:
1. Ensure that the GLINTD bit was set by
the instruction, as shown in the following code:
LOOP BSF CPUSTA, GLINTD ; Disable Global
; Interrupt
BTFSS CPUSTA, GLINTD ; Global Interrupt
; Disabled?
GOTO LOOP ; NO, try again
; YES, continue
; with program
; low

5.5 RA0/
INT Interrupt
The external interrupt on the RA0/INT pin is edge triggered. Either the rising edge, if INTEDG bit
(T0STA<7>) is set, or the falling edge, if INTEDG bit is
clear. When a valid edge appears on the RA0/INT pin,
the INTF bit (INTSTA<4>) is set. This interrupt can be
disabled by clearing the INTE control bit (INTSTA<0>).
The INT interrupt can wake the processor from SLEEP.
See Section 14.4 for details on SLEEP operation.
5.6 TMR0
Interrupt
An overflow (FFFFh → 0000h) in TMR0 will set the
T0IF (INTSTA<5>) bit. The interrupt can be enabled/
disabled by setting/clearing the T0IE control bit
(INTSTA<1>). For operation of the Timer0 module, see
Section 11.0.
5.7 T0CK
I Interrupt
The external interrupt on the RA1/T0CKI pin is edge
triggered. Either the rising edge, if the T0SE bit
(T0STA<6>) is set, or the falling edge, if the T0SE bit is
clear. When a valid edge appears on the RA1/T0CKI
pin, the T0CKIF bit (INTSTA<6>) is set. This interrupt
can be disabled by clearing the T0CKIE control bit
(INTSTA<2>). The T0CKI interrupt can wake up the
processor from SLEEP. See Section 14.4 for details on
SLEEP operation.
5.8 P
eripheral Interrupt
The peripheral interrupt flag indicates that at least one
of the peripheral interrupts occurred (PEIF is set). The
PEIF bit is a read only bit, and is a bit wise OR of all the
flag bits in the PIR register AND’ed with the corresponding enable bits in the PIE register. Some of the
peripheral interrupts can wake the processor from
SLEEP. See Section 14.4 for details on SLEEP operation.

xt Saving During Interrupts
During an interrupt, only the returned PC value is saved
on the stack. Typically, users may wish to save key registers during an interrupt; e.g. WREG, ALUSTA and the
BSR registers. This requires implementation in software.
Example 5-1 shows the saving and restoring of information for an interrupt service routine. The PUSH and
POP routines could either be in each interrupt service
routine or could be subroutines that were called.
Depending on the application, other registers may also
need to be saved, such as PCLATH.
EXAMPLE 5-1: SAVING STATUS AND WREG IN RAM
;
; The addresses that are used to store the CPUSTA and WREG values
; must be in the data memory address range of 18h - 1Fh. Up to
; 8 locations can be saved and restored using
; the MOVFP instruction. This instruction neither affects the status
; bits, nor corrupts the WREG register.
;
;
PUSH MOVFP WREG, TEMP_W ; Save WREG
MOVFP ALUSTA, TEMP_STATUS ; Save ALUSTA
MOVFP BSR, TEMP_BSR ; Save BSR
ISR : ; This is the interrupt service routine
:
POP MOVFP TEMP_W, WREG ; Restore WREG
MOVFP TEMP_STATUS, ALUSTA ; Restore ALUSTA
MOVFP TEMP_BSR, BSR ; Restore BSR
RETFIE ; Return from Interrupts enabled

PIC17C4X
6.0 MEMORY ORGANIZATION
There are two memory blocks in the PIC17C4X; program memory and data memory. Each block has its
own bus, so that access to each bloc k can occur during
the same oscillator cycle.
The data memory can further be broken down into General Purpose RAM and the Special Function Registers
(SFRs). The operation of the SFRs that control the
“core” are described here. The SFRs used to control
the peripheral modules are described in the section discussing each individual peripheral module.
6.1 Pr
ogram Memory Organization
PIC17C4X devices have a 16-bit program counter
capable of addressing a 64K x 16 program memory
space. The reset vector is at 0000h and the interrupt
vectors are at 0008h, 0010h, 0018h, and 0020h
(Figure 6-1).
6.1.1 PROGRAM MEMORY OPERATION
The PIC17C4X can operate in one of four possible pro-
gram memory configurations. The configuration is
selected by two configuration bits. The possible modes
are:
• Microprocessor
• Microcontroller
• Extended Microcontroller
• Protected Microcontroller
The microcontroller and protected microcontroller
modes only allow internal execution. Any access
beyond the program memory reads unknown data.
The protected microcontroller mode also enables the
code protection feature.
The extended microcontroller mode accesses both the
internal program memory as well as external program
memory. Execution automatically switches between
internal and external memory. The 16-bits of address
allow a program memory range of 64K-words.
The microprocessor mode only accesses the external
program memory. The on-chip program memory is
ignored. The 16-bits of address allow a program memory range of 64K-words. Microprocessor mode is the
default mode of an unprogrammed device.
The different modes allow different access to the configuration bits, test memory, and boot ROM. Table 6-1
lists which modes can access which areas in memory.
Test Memory and Boot Memory are not required for
normal operation of the device. Care should be taken to
ensure that no unintended branches occur to these
areas.
